Property tax hike gets reluctant support
A 4 percent increase in the property tax rate that officials say is largely driven by an increase in the amount the local government is required to contribute for employee pensions appears to be on the path to approval in Fort Dodge.
Four of the seven City Council members said Monday evening that they would reluctantly support increasing the tax rate to $20.82 per $1,000 of taxable value in a move that would push the city property tax bill for the owner of a typical home to $920.
That increase would be for the 2013-2014 fiscal year which begins July 1.
The current property tax rate is $19.92 per $1,000 of taxable value. Owners of a Fort Dodge home with the median value of $85,000 now pay $880 to the city.
"I will support the levy for no other reason than that we are being forced," said Councilman Robert "Barney" Patterson. "Our hands are tied. We have to pay it."
Councilmen Kim Alstott, Dave Flattery, and Andy Fritz said they also would support the new tax rate.
Councilmen Mark Taylor and Don Wilson said they were opposed. Councilman Dean Hill, who was not at the meeting, left a message with City Manager David Fierke saying he would not support a tax increase.
"I won't go along with raising taxes," Wilson said. "We're already the highest taxes of any city of our size in the state."
Wilson didn't offer any statistics to support that assertion. When repeatedly pressed by Mayor Matt Bemrich to explain what he would do instead of raising the tax rate, he said he would "use the fund balance for another year."
Fierke said that move would reduce the property tax rate by 50 cents while draining the city's reserves for its self-insured health care plan.
Although mandatory contributions to pension plans are a component of the tax increase, Fierke said city employees will not be getting a greater level of retirement benefits than they do now.
"No one here who works for the city is going to enjoy lavish improved benefits," he said.
Following the meeting, Alstott and Richard Higgins, a former council candidate who is a frequent critic of local government, got into a shouting match in the lobby of the Municipal Building that could be heard throughout the first floor. Higgins was yelling about $500,000 he believes the city has, while Alstott replied that what Higgins wanted to do would result in laying off 10 people and cutting services.
During the meeting, Fierke outlined the expenses driving the tax increase.
In the current fiscal year, the city must pay $996,097 into the Municipal Police and Fire Retirement System.
In the fiscal year that begins July, that amount will rise to $1,214,000.
Fierke said the rate at which the city must pay into that system will rise from 26.13 percent of an employee's salary to 30.12 percent.
The amount that each employee pays into the retirement system is capped by state law at 9.4 percent of their salary, according to Fierke.
He said the retirement system has seen a sharp drop in the growth of its investments. He said the system experienced a $300 million gain in 2010-2011, but just a $4 million gain in 2011-2012.
That drop in investment income must be made up by contributions from the cities, he said.
"Essentially, this body didn't force the taxes to be raised," Bemrich said. "It's not the action of this body. It's the action of the system that we're a party to that did it."
Noting that the city's pension obligations are a factor of how many employees it has, Wilson suggested entering into an agreement with Webster County to have the Sheriff's Department handle more of the law enforcement work. He said he would be interested in a deal in which the Police Department would be downsized and the Sheriff's Department would add 10 more deputies.
Bemrich said joint ventures with other governments are worth exploring, but added that he thinks Webster County would send the city a bill for the costs of hiring more deputies to cover Fort Dodge.
Alstott said the people in Fort Dodge want more police officers, and added that any reductions in the Fire Department would cause insurance rates to go up in the city.
Bemrich also spoke in favor of maintaining a strong Fire Department.
"We are the regional leader in fire," he said. "We are depended upon to provide fire protection beyond just the city limits of Fort Dodge. If we want to be a leader in the region, we need to have a professional fire department. Businesses and industry are looking for that."
Other benefit increases fueling the tax increase include these outlays:
– Health insurance: $2,566,980; up from $2,184,568
– Social Security and Iowa Public Employee Retirement System: $726,000; up from $642,000.

GM "Electric Car is Not Dead" Despite Mediocre Sales

Automaker looks ahead to Cadillac ELR, second-generation Volt
When it comes to sales General Motors Comp.'s (
) Chevy Volt has done modestly,
moving a couple thousands units
per month in good months. Compared to other entrants
such as the Nissan Leaf EV
from Nissan Motor Comp., Ltd. (
), whose sales number in the mere hundreds per month, that's not bad.
But sales have still been short of the hype that surrounded Volt, a car that was viewed by many as a "savior-car" of sorts for the automaker during its recession troubles. The Volt has suffered a 2011
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
investigation over battery fires
and more recently has been
rejected by some Chevy dealerships
over high tooling costs.
Still, GM is convinced that electric vehicles are a winning proposition. Wednesday night at the Automotive News World Conference GM's North America chief Mark Reuss boldly
, "The electric car is not dead... We couldn't be happier … with the Volt."
The Chevy Volt has seen several sales targets slip. In 2011 GM promised to sell 10,000 Volts, but only sold 7,700. In 2012 it predicted 45,000 units sold, but only moved 23,000. At times the Hamtramck Assembly Plant where the vehicle is assembled was idled.
GM is forging ahead, looking to fill the idle capacity at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant with orders of the new Cadillac ELR, which is essentially a luxury reskinned Volt. At the conference Mr. Reuss revealed that the plant would begin producing Cadillac ELRs before the end of the year.

He also teased at the upcoming second generation Volt design, which he claims "will be even better". He comments, "We'll get there. We will see the day when we have an affordable electric car that offers 300 miles of range with all the comfort and utility of a conventional vehicle. We're talking about a transformation here. And transformation takes time."
He admits that pricing needs to become more competitive, stating, "The rest of them will come around when technology advances electric vehicles to the point where they offer comparable performance at comparable prices."

The determination from the Detroit automaker runs counter to its previous approach from the 1990s, where it debuted the EV-1 only to bail, pulling the plug in 1999 after three years of poor sales. GM was oft villainized for that decision for much of the last decade; now it is celebrated by EV advocates as a key proponent of the advanced vehicle push.
The optimism also contrast sharply with the grim rhetoric of Nissan at the auto show. While Nissan is sticking with its LEAF EV, it's dropping the price (to $28,800 USD) and admitting that so far the project has been a flop. LEAF EV sales were essentially flat, up only 1.5 percent from 2011 to reach 9,819 units. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn admitted this week; "It was a disappointment for us."
Others like Ford Motor Comp. (F) have been more restrained in their EV dive, but have
also suffered poor results
. Ford produced 1,627 2013 Ford Focus EVs, but only sold 685 (42 percent of the stock). Fiskar also suffered a rocky year with its Karma being
panned by reviewers as "overweight"
. The Karma also
suffered fire issues
leading to recalls and
320 of the pricey EVs
were destroyed when Hurricane Sandy hit.
Tesla Motor Comp. (
) also
saw slow sales for much of the year
, but like GM it also delivered a fair degree of good news,
becoming profitable again
late in the year, thanks to the
launch of the 2013 Model S
mid-range luxury electric sedan. The Model S was well received by reviewers who
gave it many awards
for its slick handling and performance.

Hewlett-Packard and Hynix Semiconductor plan to finally reveal their memristor-based resistive random access memory (ReRAM) products in about eighteen months from now, sometimes in summer, 2013. The companies plan to offer "alternative" solid-state drives as well as USB memory sticks, but it is hard to determine any actual details or peculiarities.
"We have a lot of big plans for it and we're working with Hynix Semiconductor to launch a replacement for flash in the summer of 2013 and also to address the solid-state drive market. [There is no definitive memristor product roadmap as yet], but HP has a goal to see memristor products by the end of 2013," said Stan Williams, senior fellow at HP Labs, at a conference, reports EETimes web-site.
The memristor, short for "memory resistor," requires less energy to operate, can retain information even when power is off, and is faster than present solid-state storage technologies. It was postulated to be the fourth basic circuit element by professor Leon Chua of UC Berkeley in 1971 and first intentionally reduced to practice by researchers in HP Labs, the company's central research arm, in 2006. The technology can also perform logic, enabling computation to one day be performed in chips where data is stored, rather than on a specialized central processing unit.
The ReRAM is a product that holds potential to replace the flash memory currently used in smartphones, tablets, MP3 players and to serve as a universal storage medium - that is, memory that can behave as flash, DRAM or even a hard drive.
The HP fellow declined to discuss in detail the process technology, memory capacity or memory-effect material that Hewlett Packard and Hynix are working with. But Mr. Williams did disclose that the first commercial memory would be a multi-layer device.
"We're running hundreds of wafers through a Hynix full-size fab. We're very happy with it," the official for HP said.

Features of Classic Tall Black UGG® Boots
Sizing Information
Can anyone tell me, if these are the original UGGS?.
Because if not, i wouldn't mind spening a little more to get the real ones.
I am so glad I ordered these boots! I usually wear a size 9 1/2 to 10 and I ordered the size 9 and they work well. Great company to deal with!
I trust this company
The Uggs are great. [...]
I researched these. Last year I bought a different brand of Tall women boots for myself and I have enjoyed them, but I am a 9.5 and so I got size 10 but they are sloppy now on my feet. The difference here is the Uggs are so much lighter! I love that. I learned they run a little big so I ordered down to size 9 and wa-la! They fit perfectly. So very warm and cozy.I bought my grown daughters each a pair for Xmas and I am hoping they will like them too. I got the Chocolate this time, and I love the rich brown color with my jeans. They seem to be durable but I just got them so time will tell[...]
This is my second pair of Ugg Australia boots because they're worth the money- totally!
Plus with tall Uggs you can wear em folded down or full length, they cover most of your legs, keep your feet the same temperature as the rest of your body and they're very popular.
ALWAYS remember to spray them so if you do spill something on them it'll just fade. Quite a few people complained that they stained easily but they probably just havn't remembered to spray them that's all!
Chestnut is the best colour to buy because they tone with jeans well and all different colours.
Great buy.
I love my Uggs I own more than 7 pairs, they are soo comfortable like walking on clouds and they are warm without feeling hot. They do not make your feet sweat, I usually do not even wear socks while wearing my Uggs. I do not suggest wearing them while cooking, try avoid wearing them in the rain. I've used soapy water and water to rinse and hand brush wash the boot without soaking the boot. let it air dry and then used brush to brush the suede back to normal. I done that numerous times and looks like new afterwards. It's also a good idea to order extra inside sheepskin soles in case you feel like you need to have more cushion as you wear the regular sole down. I've been wearing Uggs for more than 7 years still wearing my first pair too!
Picked a pair up for my fiance and she LOVED them. Unfortunately, we were out photographing one night and she clipped the front of her boot on a metal rail-guard on the road. This made a small cut in the top of one, but she was definitely able to repair it, and they still look great.
Can't live without my Uggs; own several pair in different styles + colors.

Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream
Last week my daughter, Lily, concocted her own ice cream using cashews, water, agave nectar, frozen bananas, cherries, and raspberries. She also added a half of an avocado, a few spoonfuls of raw coconut butter, and a splash of vanilla. I wrote the recipe down somewhere. She made it in our Vita-Mix and it was delicious!
Today I wanted to share with you a dairy-free ice cream made in an ice cream maker. I have a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker that works beautifully and won't break the bank. Making ice cream in a Vita-Mix or food processor certainly works, but the end product lacks that creamy, ice dreamy mouth feel of true ice cream.
Last September, Tom made a white nectarine ice cream using the ice cream maker that was so good I wanted to hide the container and eat it all myself! I have that recipe scribbled down somewhere. Maybe later in the summer I will share it. And now, the strawberry ice cream....
Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream
This ice cream needs to be made in an ice cream maker. It can also be made into popsicles. After pouring the liquid into my machine, I still had about a cup that wouldn't fit - so that be came 2 popsicles. Serve ice cream with sliced fresh strawberries and fresh mint leaves for a cooling summer dessert.
2 cans full fat coconut milk
2 to 2 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup raw honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon flavoring (optional)
Place all ingredients into a blender or Vita-Mix and blend until smooth and creamy. Immediately pour the liquid into your ice cream maker. I kept mine on for about 25 minutes and then transferred the container to the freezer. It needs to chill for about 2 hours before serving. Enjoy! Source: www.NourishingMeals.com

Oh my goodness, that sounds fabulous! I'm making this tonight! And yes, please, please do share the white nectarine ice cream recipe. That sounds so good! By the way, I absolutely love your cookbook! It's probably the one I've used the most in the past year or so, and I have a lot of cookbooks! Everything I've made has been delicious - even my husband likes it and he's really picky! :-) My daughter loves the smoothies!ReplyDelete
I have an ice cream machine that I bought at a garage sale last summer. Now I finally have an excuse to use it! I like the simplicity of this recipe - it looks so easy, can't wait to try it today. Thank you so much for giving us this recipe!ReplyDelete
That looks great. Now I need to dig out that ice cream maker I have. I wonder where the insert is? Thanks, now I have to clean out my house. :-) I wonder how this would turn out with blueberries? Probably need to mix the berries. Time to experiment. Thanks for the ideas!ReplyDelete
- Jennifer L.June 11, 2009 at 8:43 AM
Mmmm. I've been wondering what to do with the ice cream maker now that I am not eating dairy products. We truly have no shortage of sweet things to enjoy.ReplyDelete
I made the cherry apple pudding for D. a few days ago and shared it with some friends with the cashew topping and they couldn't stop raving about it. They insisted that I should sell it! I explained that these fabulous recipes are not my own, but that I'd gladly share the recipe. One friend explained that she had neither the time nor the culinary expertise to whip up such yummy food, but that she would certainly love to just go out and get it somewhere.
I cook for anyone who comes near our house and they all love, love the things that I make from your cookbook.
You have a lot of people here who are fans of the finished product, and a lot of them are simply not going to cook their own food, for whatever reasons (two common excuses are lack of time and lack of culinary inclination). In addition to a third cookbook, I see gluten-free restaurants in your horizon :-). Wouldn't that be fabulous (a gluten-free restaurant--not you starting them)!
Another neat idea I had was for stores like Whole Foods and our local co-ops to start listing their cookbook sources on their Deli foods and feature different cookbooks each month. It'd be a good way to sort of get a taste of the possibilities from various cookbooks and I imagine it would boost sales :-).
Your fans here will be floored by this strawberry ice cream, I can already tell by looking at the ingredients that it's going to be a treat!
Oooh-La-la! Ice cream! This looks like a fantastic recipe. I can tell from the photos! I bet your kids loved this, and mine will too. Thanks for the link to the ice cream maker. I am going to see if I can find one locally. Can't wait to give this recipe a whirl!ReplyDelete
That ice cream looks positively perfect, and I love how it uses so few ingredients!ReplyDelete
How totally cool to use coconut milk to make ice cream! I can't wait to try this recipe - thank you!ReplyDelete
I love how Lily at such a young age is following your spirt of creating great recipes!! Those photos are so lovely. Love that cute bowl! I made Coconut Gal's ice cream last night and it was delicious. Now I need to start making your (and Lily's!) ice cream recipes. :-) I need to investigate the ice cream maker you mentioned, too. Ours is old and we only use it like every five years. LOLReplyDelete
You know I like this recipe :-)ReplyDelete
Ali, in my humble opinion, all homemade ice cream is so good that I want to hide the entire container and eat it all myself!! This sounds soooo yum!!
Congrats to T Watson too!
I love homemade ice cream. I think peach is my favorite, but your strawberry looks amazing. Although it hasn't been that warm around here this spring, I'm always up for ice cream and you've inspired me to start experimenting.ReplyDelete
The photo series on this post is wonderful. I especially like Lily (I assume it's Lilly) holding the bowl, which I'm guessing is the bunny bowl. Aaaahhh, very cute!
That looks amazing! Creamy summer goodness!ReplyDelete
Wow - it has been a crazy last few days here! This was the last week of school for the girls and there was much to do, especially today! Phew, summer break now!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all of your lovely comments! :)
Jill - so glad you are enjoying our cookbook and that your picky-eating husband likes the food!
L - Yes, this recipe is very easy! Hope you enjoy!
Diane - I thought about trying it with blueberries once they come into season here; another month at least for that! :)
Jennifer L. - Ahh yes, the Cherry Apple Pudding. I haven't made that in a while. My boys sure loved it when I first gave it to them though! What a great "first dessert" huh! Yes, a gluten-free restaurant should be in the works huh, but not by me - I don't have that kind of time! I am happy to donate recipes! :) A cookbook list would be helpful that's a great idea. :)
Yogamama - I think my boys were most thrilled with this. They just can't seem to get enough of it. :)
Alisa - Thanks! :)
Ellen - Oh, I am sure you will enjoy it!
CoconutGal - LOL - yes hiding the container is a good idea with ice cream that can taste as good as this! :)
Melissa - Yes it is Lily holding the bowl with her messy hands full of markers. :) I will see if I can dig up Tom's white nectarine ice cream - it was amazing. I did a peach cashew ice cream a few years ago when we first got our ice cream maker and it was delicious!
Meghan - Yes - summer goodness! :)
Thanks! -Ali :)
oops, looks like I forgot to reply to you Shirley:ReplyDelete
Yes, Lily does seem to take on the kitchen and its contents in wild abandon! She made a beautiful "raw" dessert last weekend while I was upstairs nursing the boys. It was an oat, honey, chocolate chip, and fruit pie - all in a gorgeous presentation. I can't say it actually tasted good though. I know it will eventually though! CoconutGal's ice cream looks fabulous too! I should have added a link to it here. :)
I am so excited -- just bought an ice cream maker on Amazon... should be here next week. This will be the first ice cream I make for my girls!!!!!!ReplyDelete
That looks so delicious! I love the all natural ingredients. Might try subbing in stevia for the honey to make it low carb. It looks perfect for the summer season!ReplyDelete
Sounds wonderful. Love the pictures. :)ReplyDelete
Cheers to Healthy Ice Cream,
Alison - I am sure you and the girls will enjoy this one!ReplyDelete
Lauren - Have fun experimenting!
Kristen - Yes, cheers to healthy ice cream!
-Ali :)
Just made this...delicious!ReplyDelete
I actually added some shredded coconut because I wanted to make that flavour pop. I chose not to add the lemon, and now I'm curious, what does it do for the recipe?
Thanks so much!
I have now made this recipe two times and am doing it again today for our 4TH of July party tomorrow!! It is much more cost effective than purchasing the small coconut milk ice cream containers from the store. Thanks for sharing this!ReplyDelete
- agentdme99July 5, 2009 at 8:27 AM
Made this yesterday. SUPER YUMMY! My husband and I are so excited to be able to eat ice cream again. YAY! Thanks Ali. I used raspberries instead of strawberries and low-fat coconut milk because that's all I had. Instead of lemon flavoring I added lemon zest. I also threw in some ground flax seeds just because I throw ground flax seeds into pretty much anything I can.ReplyDelete
I just made your ice cream recipe to break in my new ice cream maker. It was an unmitigated success! Here's the link:ReplyDelete
Great recipe - thank you! I added 1 tablespoon of Chambord the second time I made it made the texture even better.ReplyDelete
Any word on the nectarine recipe? I'm wondering if it's the same as this one just subbing nectarines for strawberries, or if the coconut will overwhelm the nectarines. Thanks!
We made this tonight, and had to improvise as we only had one can of coconut milk. We used Coconut beverage (like soy milk), we had this on hand as we have 3 of us dairy free. We did use the agave, and I added the seeds from a real vanilla bean as well as dark chocolate chips from Whole Foods. All of us loved it, even those in our family who can eat the "real" stuff! Thanks for a fabulous recipe that is a great base for any type of coconut ice cream we want to make.ReplyDelete
This sounds amazing! I will make the ice cream for sure! I stumbled across this searching for a strawberry coconut milk pudding for my daughters. They can't have dairy, soy, or gluten and are starting preschool. They aren't allowed nuts there either.ReplyDelete
Do you think I could add some kind of thickener to this and make it like a pudding, yogurty type thing they could eat? Worth a try anyways....YUM!
Sarah - you could look at this recipe for my Mango Pudding and then somehow combine the recipes. I am sure it would work.ReplyDelete
I use kudzu to thicken and create dairy-free pudding. I have a few recipes in my cookbook for vegan pudding as well, some use cashews though.
Let me know how it turns out. -Ali :)
Hi! So I tried it as the strawberry ice cream recipe and used tapioca flour to thicken...this was not good...ended up reusing this conglomeration as a basis for muffins.ReplyDelete
Tried again, the ice cream recipe again but used gelatin to thicken it. Was very good and tasted good and passed the daycare test :-)

I just made this ice cream and it's absolutely delicious!!!! I didn't have 2 cups of frozen strawberries, but I did have 2 cups of frozen mixed fruit (peaches, mangoes, strawberries, and pineapples). The combination of the coconut milk and the pineapple are the best! Thank you so much for this easy recipe. I will definitely be using it a lot.ReplyDelete
can you tell which model of the ice cream maker you have, they have severalReplyDelete
Darrell, we use the Cuisinart 16406 Ice Cream Maker. :)ReplyDelete
We made this last night using mixed berries, but my ice cream maker wasn't as cold as it needed to be, so it didn't freeze correctly. So, instead of ice cream, we had delicious smoothies!ReplyDelete
After sitting in the freezer all night, we are enjoying it as ice cream today and it's delicious!

I can't wait to try this recipe. I'm pregnant and allergic to milk and live in the sticks so I don't have access to stores that sell things like coconut ice cream! It's a very unfortunate combination! But this sounds wonderful. I'm kinda new to coconut milk though and limited on options. I can get the Silk coconut milk (it has very recently become available in my area!!) and I can get small cans of coconut milk that has the thick cream on top. What size can did you use? Does the Silk coconut milk work just as well?ReplyDelete
Anon- I have never used silk coconut milk so not sure how it would work. We use the 14.5 ounce cans for this ice cream recipe. I like the brand Native Forest organic coconut milk, but whatever you can find will surely work. The fat at the top of the can is what helps to make the ice cream "creamy."ReplyDelete
Enjoy! :)

Hi, I'll be attempting to make this yet again soon, but using cherries instead. question for you (since I checked and no one asked): I've read on other sites (and have experienced it) that using light coconut milk will create a less creamy ice cream. But, I am worried about calories per serving when I make this for others. I know coconut milks can be pretty heft. I do understand that the creamier it is the less you'll need of it to satisfy. I don't know that other will be willing to do 1/4 or 1/2 of a cup though, LOL! :)ReplyDelete
So my question is have you tried it/would you recommend diluting the full fat coconut milk by even 1/3 with water? Any suggestions you have would be great!
I've made this recipe using strawberries, but have also tried it with raspberries and mangoes. I can't figure out which one I enjoy the most! This is such a simple and satisfying recipe, and is a perfect summer treat. I make 1/2 a recipe, which seems to vanish in 1-2 days :)ReplyDelete
It certainly is strawberry season and I cannot think of a better way to use this fresh and delicious fruit! This recipe is so simple - we now have NO excuse to skip on the ice cream! Thank you! :)ReplyDelete
I wasn't sure I needed an ice cream maker. I guess I do! Looks divine. Can't wait to play with recipes this summer. Thank you!ReplyDelete
- IzzybeezbakingJune 26, 2012 at 6:49 PM
Hi, I was wondering how much granulated sugar and milk you would acutally use in the non dairy and sugar free version of this ice cream. Thanks so much! Btw I made this ice cream and it was amazing!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 6, 2012 at 8:17 AM
Hi, Ali, I just bought a Vita-Mix and have been searching for ice cream recipes. I have used your recipe in my Cuisinart Ice Cream maker, but am experimenting to see if I could get rid of it. I was wondering if I froze the coconut milk from one of the cans, if I could just make it in the Vita-Mix. That would approximate the 1 part liquid, 3 parts frozen fruit/liquid they suggest. Do you think the ice cream maker makes a superior tasting ice cream? Pam G.ReplyDelete
I am on a Sugar restricted diet, and it has been in the 90's here and i am craving ice cream , but can't have it..i tried this recipe, and it is Great! i already made it twice, and so happy to be able to cool off with ice cream again! Thanks Very Much!ReplyDelete
Brian :-)
Hey Ali,ReplyDelete
First of all, I love your cookbook! It has literally saved my life/sanity. We have at various times had 3 to 4 different diets going in the house and I've had to make multiple meals for one evening. It was depressing. But your cookbook is usually a safe for everyone and we love everything we've made from it, and that's quite a bit!
My question is about your ice cream though...I've made the mint chocolate chip many times and will be trying this one very soon. It's great right out of the ice cream maker but the next day, it's like a rock...you say to thaw it for 2 hours before serving -- would that be in the fridge? Is there any way to make a servable right out of the freezer ice cream that is made from a coconut base?
And yes, we use canned full fat coconut milk...I've even tried modifying the recipe by using only the cream from one can and discarding the water -- it didn't help though!

Strategy: Rooting Out Sophisticated Malware
Every week there's a new piece of malware or botnet in the news threatening enterprise and home users. Indeed, it seems we can't go a day without hearing about malware affecting a co-worker's or family member's computer, or about some botnet wreaking worldwide havoc. In addition, malware is getting more sophisticated—it often combines worms, Trojans and bots, and can morph automatically to prevent detection. Malware is everywhere, and because of the low barrier to entry for cybercriminals buying point-and-click malware kits, not to mention the potential for substantial reward, the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.
During the last five years, it's become painfully obvious that traditional antivirus products on their own are not able to keep up with the onslaught of new malware. Antivirus vendors are supplementing their products with collective analysis and powerful processing afforded by the cloud, but they are still challenged to adapt quickly enough to meet today's threats.
A new category of products has emerged to help deal with unidentified malware. Network-based malware-detection systems and malware sandboxes go beyond the traditional signature-based and limited heuristics capabilities offered by antivirus vendors. These systems can run suspicious files through virtual machines and monitor for malicious behavior at the network, file system and process layers. Their goal is to detect and prevent malicious files from ever making it into the target network. After all, if the files don't reach the desktops or servers, they can't compromise them.
However, no one product—no matter how sophisticated—can detect all malware, nor can it replace a layered security system. A combination of technologies and best practices can aid enterprises in the fight to detect and stop advanced malware attacks before a serious breach occurs.(S4880512)

Reviews of this property
Host what we know but not control a girl who did not speak Spanish but was very friendly and made it possible for us we understood.
The apartment is what you see, take a small bit of least one comfortable chair to sit because there are only two stools but centrally located and well connected.
Value for money would recommend it.
Al anfitrión no lo llegamos a conocer pero mando a una chica que aunque no hablaba español estuvo muy amable y hizo lo posible para que nos entendiéramos.
El apartamento es lo que se ve, un poco pequeño eche de menos una silla o sillón cómodo ya que para sentarse solo hay dos taburetes pero esta muy céntrico y bien comunicado.
Relación calidad precio lo recomendaria.
The apartment was in a quiet suburb. Few shops
To buy food. Room very cramped and very small. Input not inviting DieTüren difficult to open!!! In the cooking area all there! Ideal for 1Person.
Die Wohnung war in einem ruhigem Quartier. Wenige Läden
Zum Lebensmittel einkaufen .das Zimmer sehr eng und sehr klein . Eingang nicht einladend!DieTüren schwierig zum öffnen !!!!!! Im kochbereich alles vorhanden !für 1Person ideal .
Friendly and very accommodating host, the keys, the start ... Everything was done to make our lives easier.
The accommodation is correct and well located.
I highly recommend it!

mi sono trovato benissimo...tutto vicino, comodo e come avevo visto in foto...grazie e alla prossima
Great location. The owner very kind. The apartment is comfortable.
Ottima posizione. La proprietaria gentilissima. L'appartamento è confortevole.
Very bad service, we were 5 days in the apartment and we don't have nothing to clean, no mop, no cleaning cloth, just 1 bed sheets for the 5 days, old broom, the washing machine doesn't working well, not toliet paper. We're very desappointed with the apartment and the service.
I can recommend this apartment. Beliggendheden is good in a cozy street with lots of restaurants and div. food stores. There is quietly in the apartment, and the pictures are accurate. The cleaning could be pretty much better. If you primarily need lodging, and do not bother small Parisian squalid hotels, you have found a very good alternative.
Jeg kan anbefale denne lejlighed. Beliggendheden er god i en hyggelig gade med masser af restauranter og div. fødevarerbutikker. Der er stille og roligt i lejligheden, og billederne er retvisende. Rengøringen kunne være temmelig meget bedre. Hvis du primært har brug for en overnatningsmulighed, og ikke orker små Parisiske usle hoteller, har du fundet et rigtig godt alternativ.

Cave Man - Page 2
"When trail racing, your body fatigues but if you are determined, you push and improve your finishing time," says Wynne. "Similarly, when working in caves, I have to persevere even when I am really tired."
Wynne's endurance and focus are especially tested during long mountain treks to remote caves, where he rappels into tight spaces, traverses thin ledges while gripping loose rocks and scrambles over boulders that have dropped from the cave's roof. And in a strange twist, last November in Bolivia, Wynne scaled 19,000-foot-high volcanoes to scuba dive in high-altitude lakes in search of obscure organisms.
Neil Weintraub, director of Northern Arizona Trail Runners Association, says Wynne is always the guy you want to be near in a race. "He's always wearing the huge Camelbak and looking out for everyone," says Weintraub. Wynne's pack is usually stuffed with a big water bladder, wilderness first-aid kit, compass, lighter, moleskin, bandages, a knife, snacks and, on longer runs, fresh fruit and bottle of electrolyte drink. "I like to ask the other runners how they're doing," says Wynne. "That's how it is on an expedition, too—we're all teammates working together."
Last year, Wynne and his scientific team went to the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument in northern Arizona for a cave biodiversity survey, looking for evidence of bats, ringtail cats, rattlesnakes, bear and porcupine. "On the first mile of the two-and-a-half mile hike, we dropped 1000 vertical feet, then humped up 10-foot-high dry waterfalls beds while carrying 100-pound packs," he says. "I treated it as interval training, hiking 25 to 30 meters, resting and repeating. By the time we reached the canyon rim, it was over 90 degrees."
Wynne approaches such challenges the same way he does a tough race. Take the 2006 Mount Taylor Winter Quadrathlon, a 42-mile race that summits the highest peak in northwest New Mexico. During the downhill ski portion with 18 miles to go, the urge to quit overwhelmed him. "I was continuously pulling myself out five-foot-high snowdrifts," he says. "I was soaking wet and my legs were like Jell-O." But after removing his skis and walking about 10 feet, he thought to himself, "Man, it's all downhill from here. I can do this." Wynne clicked back into his skis and finished the race.
During his most intense training months, Wynne logs 75 to 100 miles a week of running and biking, and, when not traveling to exotic locations for work, participates in the Flagstaff Summer Trail Running Series. His favorite local run is the Weatherford Trail, a strenuous 17-miler leading to the Kachina Wilderness that winds through meadows, aspen groves and conifer forests.
When working in the field, Wynne is obsessed. "I spent five weeks caving in Chile last summer and only put on my running shoes twice," he says. "I worked from the minute I got up in the morning until my head hit the pillow."
But on the trail and in races, Wynne takes time to small the flowers. "I view a race more as a journey," he says. "Rather than focusing on the finish line, I focus on where I am right now."

Heaston East
DescriptionExcept for the north part, all of the Heaston Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located on the eastside of the Tooele - Salt Lake County boundary on the eastside of the Oquirrh Mountains, west of south Salt Lake City. The Unit includes the Bingham Copper Mine. The high point of the Unit is Nelson Peak at 9300 feet. Nelson Peak drops in elevation in the north to 7700 feet, to 9000 feet on West Mountain on the Unit. Butterfield Canyon forms the south boundary of the Unit ranging from 8200 feet to 6000 feet elevation. Of course Bingham Canyon melts into the cooper mine. Harkers canyon cuts the Unit ranging from 4800 feet to 7900 feet. Farther north Little Valley Wash cuts the Unit ranging from 4300 feet to 6200 feet elevation. On the north part, Black Rock Canyon, 4300 feet to 7400 feet is the major canyon. The most common elevation is 5200 feet but ranges from 4300 feet to 9300 feet with an elevation difference of 5000 feet. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 5000 feet and 6400 feet an elevation difference of 1400 feet.
The Heaston Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is dominated by Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41), but about the same amount is taken up in the south end of the Unit by Recently Mined or Quarried (117). Another major land cover on the north end and east edge is Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48) also contributes to the land cover on the east side. There are large patches of Developed, Open Space - Low Intensity land cover on the northeast and scattered throughout the Unit.
One of the Heaston East Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, GARFIELD (423097), is on the north edge of the CWMU. GARFIELD has one hundred fifteen (115) years of records, 1893 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 4.79 inches, but it can be as high as 9.01 inches or as low as 2.07 inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 19 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 11 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 3 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. There is also 1 day where precipitation can be greater than or equal to 1.00 inch. Snowfall during the FALL averages 3.0 inches but can be as high as 13.8 inches. FALL temperature at GARFIELD averages 64.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 98.0 degrees F. or as low as 3.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 13 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 4 day above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Mix it with Spandex?
that's a shame, i know i have to freeze my cheese otherwise it's too much to keep in the fridge... some of my bricks last over 4 months when i buy bulk. i wouldn't think you could keep it merely in the fridge for that many months.
Hi All, Another trick to getting great stretch and less burn off is to put the cheese down first and dab the sauce over (very little sauce like for a Napoletana or a Lombardi or Patsy style pie) I slice my cheese and put down the slices, which gives me a really creamy cheese melt, that doesn't burn in the wood-burning oven.Evelyne
I thought I'd chime in on this. Stretch absolutely has something to do with the quality of the cheese. Grande has the best stretch on the market, best flow and highest temperature bake-off qualities before browning. Polly-o comes in second and after that, mileage varies.
Whole milk mozzarella stretches and melts better than part skim--but that varies per brand too Grande's part skim melts better than most of the whole milk mozzarellas on the market.

i want to know which is the best editor for ruby on rails .i m using ubuntu.
The best one I found to use for Rails development is gedit. There are plenty of tutorials around to add plugins to make it similar to textmate.
thank you very much...are there any good testing tools or plugin for ruby on rails in ubuntu??..
Can you be a little more specific? What kind of testing tools?
is there any particular tool that can record the test cases ?
check out gmate - http://github.com/lexrupy/gmate
bundled up plugins for gedit
record test case? for browser testing selenium is cross platform
as far as testing goes with rails, unit, functional and integration can all be handled with code, no tools required
from the command line rake test or rake test:units
thank u so much i shall look into them

The 1982-P Jefferson Nickel is very common and examples in low Uncirculated grades can still be picked from circulation. This issue wasn't struck to well, so examples in MS65 and higher are scarce. With the Full Steps designation this issue is really scarce in MS65 Full Steps and in MS66 Full Steps, it is much scarcer with few examples known. None have been graded by PCGS higher than MS66+ with the Full Steps designation.

A Rochester Gem: The School of the Holy Childhood
And it is so much more than an option, it is a gift. A gift I am so glad we have right here in Rochester.
Last night my sister Stephanie and I had the opportunity to attend The School of the Holy Childhood's Generosity Gala at the Convention Center.
It was a wonderful event to help celebrate the school's 65th anniversary and raise money for its incredible programming for children and adults with special needs.
The School of the Holy Childhood is truly one of Rochester's shining gems and I wanted to dedicate my weekly blog post here on HerRochester to it.
If you don't know about The School of the Holy Childhood allow me the honor of introducing it and if you do know about it, allow me the privilege to share a bit.
Approximately 100 children and 150 adults with developmental disabilities call The School of the Holy Childhood, on Groton Parkway in Rochester, their home away from home. The students are culled from 36 school districts in several counties around Rochester.
The school is not-for-profit and, despite the fact it is housed in a former Catholic school, non-denominational. It is led by a board of directors and CEO (currently Donna Dedee and formerly Sister Seraphine Herbst)
I had the opportunity to visit the school for the first time last month and was moved by the warm, friendly, FAMILY atmosphere. The joy that radiates from the students – whether they are in a classroom, working in the bakery, or swimming in the pool – is palpable.
The vocational workshops and programs within the school are AMAZING. In The Special Touch Bakery adult learners bake about 17,000 pies a year. The pies are used in restaurants throughout Rochester and were once recognized in Conde Nast Traveler magazine.
In the Woodshop, students create spectacular, usable, pieces of furniture, decor, cutting boards, etc. Products from both the Woodshop, bakery, and art studio are sold in The Generosity Store - a new store on South Goodman in Rochester that showcases the wares of The School of the Holy Childhood.
Students work at the store as part of their vocational placement and proceeds come back to the school. The Generosity Store is an incredible off-shot of The School of the Holy Childhood and I encourage everyone to check it out!
As the mother of a child with developmental and medical disabilities I felt a sense of comfort as soon as I walked in the doors of The School of the Holy Childhood for the first time.
While I was not visiting as a mother (I was there on an assignment) the mother inside of me glowed. My son Brady, 4, is thriving in an integrated classroom in our school district at the moment, but should that ever change, I am comforted to know The School of the Holy Childhood is an option for him.
And it is so much more than an option, it is a gift. A gift I am so glad we have right here in Rochester.

"Mrs. Lipstick" teaches special education students who are too disabled to take standardized tests. Instead, teachers assemble binders with worksheets students have filled out to show they've been taught the same curriculum as non-disabled students. There's no time to design and teach meaningful lessons, she writes on Organized Chaos.
I'm supposed to give a child a meaningless worksheet, briefly teach the subject and then re-teach it over and over again until the child can perform it for that worksheet only. Then I put the worksheet into a plastic sleeved binder along with all the other worksheets that have been a complete waste of time and I submit it for a grade. A meaningless grade because the child isn't actually expected to know the information because I wasn't expected to actually teach the information. It is a binder just for show.
Parents of intellectually disabled children don't want this, she writes.
I can't imagine one of my parents saying, "Oh yes, I want to know that my child can identify the Powhatan Indians on a worksheet. . . . That's more important than knowing how to safely cross the street, identifying the letters, telling me that they love me, or counting to 10. And make sure it is on a worksheet. Not a fun hands-on activity that can help my child distinguish between American Indians and settlers, but a worksheet."
Why spend the time on worksheets and binders? It's supposed to show special education teachers are being held accountable, she writes.
Why should all children be taught the same lessons, regardless of their abilities?

I'm new here, just found this board, but I am glad I did. I love rooibos, but I like to purchase it in one pound bags. The place I have been buying it is getting more expensive and I was wondering if anyone knew of a more reasonably priced website to buy it at?
I've been looking at some places, but one place wanted $13.00 to ship a 1 pound bag priority mail!

Results tagged "alaska" from Drama Queen
So with all the ruckus about Sarah Palin's VP nomination, I haven't seen much about her stand on arts funding (I've also been submerged in a Fringe Fest fog for the past week-and-a-half, so if I missed something on ArtsJournal about the issue, my apologies). If she's truly aligned with her running mate John McCain, she'd be all for eliminating arts funding altogether.
Well, turns out it's not that simple. It seems that under Palin's governorship, the Alaska State Council on the Arts (AKSCA) has increased its funding very slightly--just over 4%--to nonprofit artists and organizations. But while on the surface this appears to be promising news, it comes with the caveat that the council ran out of grant funds by the end of the third quarter of FY2007, and thus, "was only able to receive applications for three of the four normal quarterly grant deadlines." As AKSCA's operating report budget changes the information it includes from year to year, I'm not sure if this is due to more money going to fewer organizations or just plain poor planning. However, it does appear that before Palin's tenure, arts funding was on the decline in her state, and has since seen an incremental increase.
The most significant bump in AKSCA's funding comes in grants to schools for arts education, which last year rose just over 31%. This number doesn't include grants for field trip transportation (there were 68 of those, if you were wondering, though the report doesn't say whether this number increased or decreased). Participation in Alaska's Arts Education Consortium--an art teachers' professional development conference--has also increased under Palin, with the number of teachers rising from 27 in 2005 to 70 in 2008.
Of course, just because Palin accepted money for arts funding and kept Alaska's Council on the Arts open doesn't mean she'll be a friend of the arts once she becomes VP, heaven help us (Hey, it's a blog, not a newspaper. Go read the Inquirer if you want impartiality). Considering her ties to Pat Buchanan and far right sympathies, this widely circulated bit from Time magazine about her tenure as Wasilla's mayor:
Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.
and Artnet's report on her slashing of Wasilla's Dorothy G. Page Museum budget, it's probably safe to say artistic freedom isn't high on Palin's list of national priorities. The Obama/Biden ticket has laid out its Platform in Support of the Arts for all to see, but don't bother searching the word "arts" on the McCain-Palin site, because it's not there. And consider this: if the arts don't even merit a mention on the candidates' website, what will happen to the country's arts and culture economy when they are in office?
