Measuring your Walls
All of our wallpaper is priced in single roll (S/R) quantities. However, it is shipped and manufactured in double rolls (D/R) and sometimes triple rolls (T/R). Most double rolls are "Metric or European rolls," measure 20.5" wide and contain 56 square feet.
To start measuring, be sure you're using a steel tape measure (they're much more accurate).
Quick Tip: If you don't deduct for windows, doors, and cabinets, you'll be sure to order enough wallpaper to complete your room, especially if you're measuring for a repeat pattern, which requires extra paper to match the pattern when hanging.
Run Number/ Dye Lot Number
Wallpaper is made in batches, runs, or dye lots. Each run is assigned a number. When a new batch of colors is mixed to produce another dye lot, a new number is issued. Because the colors may vary slightly from dye lot to dye lot, we guarantee that each pattern will match up to the first case (24 single rolls or 12 bolts of border). When a customer calls back to order more double rolls with a specific run number or dye lot number, we can request it but we cannot
guarantee it. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to order enough wallpaper the first time you order.
All borders are manufactured, packaged, and sold by the full bolt. Most are priced by the bolt, but a few are priced by the yard. These must be purchsed in 5 yard increments because they are packaged in a 5 yard bolt. Width differs with each pattern. You may want to allow a foot or two extra to match the pattern accurately.
Fabric Fabric is sold only by the linear yard, in one-yard increments. It is meant to coordinate with wallcoverings and, therefore, may not match exactly.
Wall Liner
This smoothes out uneven/bumpy surfaces such as cement, paneling, or bricks. The liner we sell comes from our in-house wallpaper catalog, pattern #ALL9. It is HEAVY DUTY but it is not prepasted. It is a good underlayment for wallcovering or paint. A double roll covers 56 square feet. Wall liner is hung in horizontal strips unlike traditional wallpaper, which is normally hung vertically.
If you have any questions about measuring for wallpaper, you can call our Sales Department at 800-575-8016.

Not as cute as the picture suggests
"I needed some cute boots for school (I'm an Esthetician) and thought these could be functional and attractive. They aren't that cute in person at all (they look cheap, and scuff REALLY easily).I returned them for a pair of BORN that were only about 15 bucks more- totally worth it, much more attractive and comfortable."

Not what I had expected
"These boots were nice, just a little too big and clunky for me. They reminded me of something an old man would wear. I'm sure they would have been really warm and nice in the snow though."

Buy Expanding Education Abroad at U.S. Community Colleges
This third White Paper in IIE's study abroad capacity research series, published in September 2008, turns its attention toward U.S. institutions, and focuses on an institutional type unique to the U.S. higher education system: the community college. Education abroad at community colleges has several key characteristics that distinguish it from education abroad at four-year institutions, and these differences necessitate a distinct approach to expanding study abroad opportunities for community college students.
This report provides an overview of education abroad at community colleges, including current trends in study abroad, addresses the challenges in expanding study abroad, and provides recommendations for institutional reform.
About IIE's Meeting America's Global Education Challenge White Paper Series
Through a series of surveys and dialogs, the Institute of International Education in 2007 launched a new policy research initiative to address the issue of capacity abroad (especially in non-traditional destinations) to host a greatly increased number of U.S. students, and to assure that U.S. campuses have the resources and structures available to prepare and send them.
This IIE initiative, Meeting America's Global Education Challenge, offers educators and policymakers focused data and information on current capabilities and future capacity, as well as recommendations for action to maximize resources and pave the way for substantial study abroad growth.

Controlling personal data is not just a sound business practice; it's becoming the law in many countries. HP's Data Privacy Services may help reduce risk, improve life cycle data management, and simplify your compliance activities.
As a leading provider of server, storage and networking equipment, we are in a unique position to offer services that help you manage and protect sensitive data and personal health information residing on your servers, storage and networking equipment. Our corporate culture of respecting privacy is strong. HP has again been named as the top technology provider and #2 overall "most trusted company for privacy" by a leading vendor in privacy, Ponemon Institute. Our services help you manage privacy across the IT lifecycle.
A good first step starts with retaining the devices where data is stored. Defective Media Retention and Comprehensive Defective Material Retention services allow you to retain data-retentive hardware components after a failure. This is more than just hard drives; it includes memory, system boards, and other components.
An important step that should be taken every time you retire or repurpose equipment within your datacenter is to securely remove data from HP or non-HP storage arrays. Per-event Data Sanitization Services are one-time on-site sanitization activities performed on functioning equipment. If you retain failed drives, you will soon acquire large volumes of loose media that must be sanitized; HP Onsite Media Sanitization Service reduces your administrative burden by performing this work at your site at regularly-scheduled intervals, providing key documentation that may reduce risk in the event of an audit.
As you retire IT equipment, HP Asset Recovery Service helps responsibly decommission the hardware components, providing sanitization and sale or disposal of your retired assets with the potential for you to recover any remaining value for the equipment.
Our custom Data Privacy Management Service is a proactive service to help standardize practices to manage data retentive media and material, bringing together the tools and services we have to simplify your data privacy activities. Let our experts at HP help you control your data while you manage your IT environment.
Connect with our HP technology experts like Michael Ryan for services that protect and manage sensitive data while helping reduce risk, improve life cycle data management, and manage compliance with new and existing federal regulatory requirements.

Wow!I have only just received my Babyliss Pro Carrera 2 Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer a few days ago and have only used it once, but I can say that it is amazing. It dried my hair in about a quarter of the time that it took when I was using a cheap drugstore hair dryer. My hair was less frizzy, had less static and felt amazing. I always found that using my other dryer really dried out my hair. This was not the case with the Babyliss Pro. My hair felt soft and healthy. The only reason that I have not given this 5 stars, is that I have only used it once and I found the placement of the buttons to be a bit of a pain. However, I am sure that with time I will get used to that. All in all I highly recommend this dryer and am keeping my fingers crossed that I continue to love it as much in the future as I do now.Feb 16, 2012Andrea / Calgary, Alberta, CanadaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

GreatI had never purchased a decent hairdryer before this one, so the only thing I have to compare it to is my 10 year old conair. But, that being said, I LOVE IT! I have told all of my friends to get one too. It really does dry your hair straight and quickly. Highly reccomended.Feb 16, 2012NicoleHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Fast And Fabulous!Great hair dryer, a little heavier then I thought it would be. However, it is so powerful and dries hair so much faster than any other hair dryer I've had. The results are straight and shiny beautiful hair. Worth it!Feb 9, 2012Joanswer / Los AngelesHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Fantastic Dryer!My BaByliss is absolutely fantastic! It did not overheat once, which was one of my biggest problems with my old hair dryer. It is very powerful and literally cut my drying time in half. I have a lot of very thick and wavy hair. It usually takes me an hour and a half just to get it dry, and not necessarily straight. With the BaByliss I sectioned and straightened it in about 40 minutes. I like my hair pin straight so I will still need to flat iron it but I now know I have the option of having some volume to it by just blow drying it. It is slightly bigger and heavier than my old dryer but that's just a matter of my getting used to this one. I'm sure my drying time will be even less once I get the hang of using the new dryer. Another great plus is the removable filter and the extremely long cord. I LOVE my BaByliss!!! Highly recommend it.Feb 1, 2012NadjaHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good Hair Day = Every DayThis hairdryer lets me walk out of the house with a "Good Hair Day" everyday. I have super thick, full bodied wavy hair that I blow out straight on a round brush EVERY single day and it takes forever. This hairdryer smooths out all my frizzed ends leaving me with sleek, soft, just-stepped-out-of-the-salon hair. On the other hand, the other day I dried it into curls around a brush and the cool shot button left me with flippy curls all day long. And it dries FAST without burning.
One thing I might redesign in the next model...sometimes my fingers hit the buttons and I accidentally change temp/speed. However I've adjusted how I hold the dryer and the buttons are just fine now.Feb 1, 2012Amy B. / AtlantaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Dont Hesitate! This One's A KeeperI just retired my Revlon ionic blow dryer as it started to die.It seemed to be a good time to upgrade to a more professional grade dryer. I read these reviews and had to give this dryer a try. I have very, very thick wavy hair which I dry and the flat iron with my Sedu flatiron that I bought from Folica 2 years ago, another excellent choice btw. Drying used to take about 8-10 minutes and today, I used my brand new BaByliss dryer and I was totally dry in 3 minutes. The hot setting was so hot I saw steam coming off my hair. About a minute in I switched to med and finished the job. Shockingly fast and my hair was noticeably shinier than it was using my old dryer. I thought the comments in the reviews about shinier hair was just an exaggeration...IT'S NOT. my hair is shinier!
I think I may have read that this dryer is a little heavy....its not heavy at all and how heavy could it be, after all, my hair was dry in 3 minutes.
I like the sale price. I bought some Moroccan Argan Oil to bump up over $50.00 to get the free shipping. It smells nice.
I hope this helps. Fyi, I personally only write reviews on items I deem worthy. I don't like parting with hard earned money for items that are mediocre. This one, although not terribly expensive feels, looks, and works like it is.Jan 26, 2012Jill / North Andover MAHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

This Blowdryer Packs A Punch. A Definite Upgrade To What I Had.This blow dryer is noticeably more powerful than my last. 1900 watts -vs- 1875 watts doesn't seem like that big of a difference but it is. It probably cuts my drying time in half in the morning. It's a little heavier than Iâ??m used to which is ok b/c I don't have to hold onto it as long. The cord is lengthy and might be better if it was retractable. My shoulder length hair gets more tangled than before but that comes with the higher output and not that big of a deal. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, quality blow dryer at a reasonable price. I paid $60 + free shipping.Jan 10, 2012Heather / Toledo, OHHAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Body BabyI have always owned the cheap drug store hair dryers all my live. Then I finally got myself this dryer for myself for Christmas. I have fine, thin, wavy, highlighted hair and have always had frizzy results from my other dryers. The other dryers usually only had hot or cool temp settings where the hot was too hot and the cool was downright cold. This lovely dryer has 3 heat settings and they are all great! As much as I luv this dryer, I struggle with how heavy it is. The vibration and weight make my hands and arms tingle and fall asleep if I use it long enough to completely straighten it with a big round brush. But I luv the results to much to care.Jan 4, 2012Desiree M. / San Jose, CaHAIR TYPELight Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

FastThis is my second time buying, the first one I bought lasted about 3 years and then it started loosing power. There is a 3 year warranty so keep your reciept. I didn't so I ended up buying another. Dries your hair straight in half the time of my other hair dryers.
It's a pricey dryer but bought it through Folica for a great price with the discounts!Dec 28, 2011Msa

The Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service are seeking public input in developing a management plan for the Old Spanish Trail Historic Trail. Designated as part of the national trail system in 2002, the trail route crosses six western states and links some of the West's oldest communities from Santa Fe, N.M. to Los Angeles, Calif.
Twenty one public meetings are being held along the trail route beginning in New Mexico and Southern Colorado, and moving west to Arizona, Nevada, Utah and California.
The first of three public meetings in Utah will be held April 18 in Moab. Additional meetings will be held in Green River, April 19, at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum conference room from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and in Cedar City, April 20.
The public is encouraged to submit comments in writing, by email, or through the webpage, http://parkplanning.nps.gov, at any time through May 17. Written comments should be addressed to Sarah Schlanger, New Mexico State Office, Bureau of Land Management, PO Box 27115, Santa Fe, N.M. 87502, firstname.lastname@example.com, or to Aaron Mahr, National Park Service, PO Box 728, Santa Fe, N.M. 87504, email@example.com.
Some of the more remote sections of the Old Spanish Trail can still be walked, ridden on horseback or bicycle, or followed by wagon or jeep. Other parts of the route are now beneath or alongside some of our busiest highways. The management plan will describe how the surviving elements of the Old Spanish Trail-the route, the landscape, and the historic places-will be managed or developed.
The full meeting schedule is posted at www.nps.gov/olsp and at www.nm.blm.gov.

A study released today says transportation options are inadequate for low-income residents in four Massachusetts cities. The study from Northeastern University's Dukakis Center surveyed 100 residents from Springfield's north end. Almost all of them said they rely on cars to get to grocery stores, school and work. But only 41-percent reported actually having a car. Stephanie Pollock is the associate director of the Dukakis Center.
"There's a lot of folks who rely on other people's cars as an important means of transportation. Because they can't afford their own car and the transit system doesn't take them where they need to go when they need to get there."
Out of the four Massachusetts cities surveyed, Springfield respondents reported the worst access to bus routes and the highest unemployment rate. Elsie Sanchez is the study's Springfield field organizer. She says most buses run from 8:30 to 6 — that doesn't help many of residents she surveyed, including one man who used to work the night shift at the Holyoke Mall.
"He lost his job because he would find people to bring him sometimes but there were other times when people were not able to bring him. And he was walking from Holyoke to Springfield like four or five times he had to walk."
The transportation bill state lawmakers are debating could include a lot more money for transit agencies like the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority. Sanchez says extending the hours of existing bus routes would have the greatest impact on residents.

Frontotemporal Dementia
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) is a degenerative condition of the front (anterior) part of the brain. It differs from other causes of dementia such as Alzheimer's, Lewy Body and Creutzfeldt Jakob's diseases. FTD is currently understood as a clinical syndrome that groups together Pick's disease, primary progressive aphasia and semantic dementia. The areas of the brain affected by FTD—the frontal and anterior temporal lobes—control reasoning, personality, movement, speech, social graces, language and some aspects of memory.
FTD is marked by dramatic changes in personality, behavior and some thought processes. Changes in personal and social conduct occur in early stages of the disease, including loss of inhibition, apathy, social withdrawal, hyperorality (mouthing of objects), and ritualistic compulsive behaviors. These symptoms may lead to misdiagnosis as a psychological or emotionally-based problem, or, in the elderly, be mistaken for withdrawal or eccentricity. FTD progresses to immobility and loss of speech and expression. Structural changes in the FTD patient's brain can be seen via scans or neuroimaging.
As many as seven million Americans may be afflicted with a form of dementia. Frontotemporal Dementia may account for 2-5 percent or 140,000 – 350,000 cases of dementia and for as many as 25 percent of pre-senile dementias.
FTD occurs predominantly after age 40 and usually before age 65, with equal incidence in men and women. In nearly half of the patients, a family history of dementia exists in a first degree relative (parent or sibling), suggesting a genetic component in these cases. Additionally, a form of dementia found in persons with motor neuron disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease") may be associated with FTD.
Initial symptoms of FTD are primarily changes in personality and behavior. In addition to the symptoms described below, FTD patients often present two seemingly opposite behavioral profiles in the early and middle stages of the disease. Some individuals are overactive, restless, distractible and disinhibited. Others are apathetic, inert, aspontaneous and emotionally blunted. These differences in outward activity disappear in the late stages of the disease.
Major symptoms of FTD are:
- Dramatic change in personal and social conduct. The individual may lack initiative, seem unconcerned, and neglect domestic, financial and occupational responsibilities.
- Loss of empathy toward others.
- Patients may show shallow affect (flat facial expression or lack of emotional response). Or they may be inappropriately jocular and sing, dance, clap or recite phrases repeatedly.
- Rigid and inflexible thinking and impaired judgment.
- Loss of insight into personal and social misconduct, such as small sexual or moral transgressions.
- Stereotyped (i.e., repetitive) or compulsive behavior. For example, the person with FTD may become compulsive about rituals of hygiene and dress while at the same time neglecting proper hygiene. They may echo what others say, wander restlessly over a fixed route, or adhere to a fixed daily schedule.
- Hypochondriasis, including bizarre somatic complaints.
- Excessive eating or gluttony, food fads (especially a craving for sweet foods) and even excessive alcohol consumption. (The tendency of FTD patients to consume alcohol often leads to a misdiagnosis of alcohol-related dementia.) The person may refuse to eat, however, due to a behavioral pattern called "negativism" or to inability to use motor skills needed for eating.
- Decreased motor skills in later stages.
- Change in sleep patterns, with prolonged sleepiness shown, especially in those that present more apathetic behaviors.
In late stage FTD symptoms include:
- A gradual reduction in speech, culminating in mutism.
- Hyperoral traits.
- Failure or inability to make motor responses to verbal commands.
- Akinesia (loss of muscle movement) and rigidity with death due to complications of immobility.
Differences Between FTD and Other Dementias
FTD differs markedly in several ways when compared to other dementias, especially Alzheimer's disease:
- FTD is characterized by cerebral atrophy in the frontal and anterior temporal lobes of the brain, while Alzheimer's affects the hippocampal, posterior temporal and parietal regions.
- The neurofibrillary tangles, senile plaques and Lewy bodies present in the brains of Alzheimer's and other dementia patients are absent. (Pick bodies are also usually absent.)
- Alzheimer's patients experience severe memory loss. While FTD patients exhibit memory disturbances, they remain oriented to time and place and recall information about the present and past.
- FTD patients, even in late stages of the disease, retain visuo-spatial orientation, and they negotiate and locate their surroundings accurately.
- Intellectual failure in FTD is distinctly different from that of Alzheimer's patients. Results of intelligence tests are normal in those with FTD until the point in the disease when disinterest results in lower scores.
- Life expectancy is slightly longer for FTD.
Testing and Diagnosis
FTD can be accurately diagnosed with brain scans or imaging. Computed tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveal cerebral atrophy in the frontotemporal regions. Degeneration of the corpus striatum, thalamus and other subcortical structures occurs. Functional brain imaging and single photon emission tomography may reveal dysfunction of the frontal lobes, decreased blood flow, and a selective reduced uptake of tracer in the anterior (front) cerebral hemispheres. Electroencephalography (EEG) remains normal, however, even in advanced stages. In autopsies, brain tissue changes include large neuronal cell loss with secondary spongiform change and astrocyctic gliosis.
Neuropsychological testing is useful to obtain a clinical assessment of the disease. Tests evaluate conduct, language, visuo-spatial abilities, memory, abstraction, planning and mental control, motor skills and intelligence. Tests might show:
- An economy of mental effort and unconcern. Responses may be impulsive and tasks readily abandoned, while other patients may be slow, inert and persistent.
- Conversation is not spontaneous; responses are brief and one does not elaborate. Some patients may make mechanical, repetitive remarks, echo words spoken by others, or repeat responses. Apathetic patients may be hypophonic (have a weak voice) and have an odd or halting speaking pattern. Overactive patients may be the opposite, with unconstrained speech. Failure to respond or inappropriate responses should not be assumed to be incomprehension, but rather a concreteness of thinking or inattention.
- Visuo-spatial skills remain normal except for those compromised by behavioral abnormalities.
- Memory problems do not occur except as a result of ineffective use of memory.
Thought processes show impaired powers of abstraction, verbal response and design fluency. For example, in card and block sorting or picture arrangement, the FTD patient may abandon tasks, produce items eccentrically, not follow instructions, violate "rules," etc. Comprehension is normal, however.
Duration and Treatment
The length of FTD varies, with some patients declining rapidly over two to three years and others showing only minimal changes over a decade. Studies have shown persons with FTD to live with the disease an average of eight years, with a range from three years to 17 years.
No medications are known currently to treat or prevent FTD. Serotonin-boosting medications may alleviate some behaviors.

"Love these shoes! I've gone "trail running" a few times with them now, and they're really comfy. I think I probably could have gone a half size smaller, but when I ordered them, that wasn't an option. They're very supportive, and the color is great too! Overall, I'm very satisfied with these shoes, and have been recommending them to friends."

"This is the first pair of Adidas I've bought. I usually wear Mizuno or Brooks for running, but was looking for a trail shoe with good grip. So far, so good. I'm wearing them for an obstacle course run in a few months so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on shoes that will probably get ruined. I'll see how they hold up. the only semi-negative thing is they make my foot look bigger than it is."

These shoes run a little wide but I don't care, I wear them with heavier socks (even though not that necessary). Gorgeous shoe with a very slight distressing on the lighter leather portion."

Polk on March 4, 1845. Courtesy of Library of Congress. PD. Each week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT is featuring an inaugural address by a president from the Miller Center's archives. In December, President Obama threatened to use his Inaugural Address to appeal to public opinion and blame Republicans if there was no deal over the nation's austerity crisis before New Year's. Now that some compromise has been reached, the fiscal cliff may not dominate the address on January 21. However, given that the next round of negotiations on the nation's debt and taxation is now less than two months away, the President will certainly use the Inaugural to once again appeal to the public and lay out his policy agenda. Tariffs, taxes and banking were also the subjects of the Inaugural Address of one of the most significant, if little known presidents of the 19th century. Not many Americans know James Knox Polk, but they should. He was a rather consequential president and an astute political leader who fought the Mexican War; expanded the Union to the Southwest and West; and solidified national economic policy. Polk was the first dark horse candidate ever to be nominated by a major political party and elected to the presidency. His candidacy was made possible after Martin van Buren committed political suicide by opposing the annexation of Texas. Polk beat Henry Clay by the closest margin in history —1,338,464 popular votes to Clay's 1,300,097—a difference of 38,367 votes. Even though Clay won five slave states, including Polk's home state of Tennessee and North Carolina, Polk netted 170 electoral votes to Clay's 105. As president, Polk's agenda was driven by four of the most contentious issues of the Jacksonian Era: territorial expansion, slavery, banking, and the tariff. Polk assumed the presidency with a focused political agenda. At his Inauguration on March 4, 1845, Polk spoke at length about his political agenda and the convictions of his positions. Polk promised to administer the government in the true spirit of the Constitution and promised not to assume any powers not expressed or implied in the document: The government of the United States is one of delegated and limited powers, and it is by a strict adherence to the clearly granted powers and by abstaining from the exercise of doubtful or unauthorized implied powers that we have the only sure guaranty against the recurrence of those unfortunate collisions between the federal and state authorities which have occasionally so much disturbed the harmony of our system and even threatened the perpetuity of our glorious Union. After expressing his view of the role of the federal government under the Constitution, Polk stated his opposition to a national bank and to the assumption of state debt: I shall steadily oppose the creation of those institutions and systems which in their nature tend to pervert it from its legitimate purposes and make it the instrument of sections, classes, and individuals. We need no national banks or other extraneous institutions planted around the government to control or strengthen it in opposition to the will of its authors… Ours was intended to be a plain and frugal government, and I shall regard it to be my duty to recommend to Congress and, as far as the executive is concerned, to enforce by all the means within my power the strictest economy in the expenditure of the public money which may be compatible with the public interests… A national debt has become almost an institution of European monarchies. It is viewed in some of them as an essential prop to existing governments. Melancholy is the condition of that people whose government can be sustained only by a system which periodically transfers large amounts from the labor of the many to the coffers of the few. Such a system is incompatible with the ends for which our republican government was instituted. While Polk opposed the revenue tariff, he reasoned his support for a protective tariff and equal taxation: I have heretofore declared to my fellow-citizens that "in my judgment it is the duty of the government to extend, as far as it may be practicable to do so, by its revenue laws and all other means within its power, fair and just protection to all of the great interests of the whole Union, embracing agriculture, manufactures, the mechanic arts, commerce, and navigation." I have also declared my opinion to be "in favor of a tariff for revenue," and that "in adjusting the details of such a tariff I have sanctioned such moderate discriminating duties as would produce the amount of revenue needed and at the same time afford reasonable incidental protection to our home industry," and that I was "opposed to a tariff for protection merely, and not for revenue." Polk promised to leave after one term and did so as the most successful President since George Washington in the accomplishment of his goals. On a side note, the inauguration of James K. Polk was the first to be covered by telegraph - the events of the ceremony were telegraphed to Baltimore by Samuel Morse on his year-old invention. Polk's was also first known newspaper illustration of a presidential inauguration, which appeared in The Illustrated London News. Read Polk's full 1845 Inaugural Address here.

Take something basic, like drop cookies. With normal all-purpose flour, there are only three possible outcomes: ooey-gooey, cakey, and somewhere in between. In each case it's not the behavior but the amount of the flour that determines the outcome. Substituting combinations of bean, nut, and gluten-free grain flours can lead to dozens of results, most of them inedible.
I have a lot to learn, so I turned to a confection that's practically fool-proof in its traditional form. Chocolate chip cookies, that good-old American classic, are one of the first items most children and novice bakers master. Recipes abound, on the backs of chocolate chip bags and in the pages of all but the snobbiest cookbooks. Making them vegan is no problem, but what about vegan and gluten-free?
Searching for wisdom in other people's recipes, I've made and eaten several dozen cookies over the last two weeks.
First, there were the Flying Apron chocolate chip cookies, which I discussed at length in my cookbook review. Made with brown rice and chickpea flour, they were a bit too light, dry, and crumbly.
Next I tried a recipe posted by Lori Jablons, another food blogger who recently went gluten-free. Lori's recipe uses coconut flour, almond meal (gluten is a protein, so if you're not replacing it with eggs, nut flour seems a good choice), and an all-purpose mixture of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch.
I liked these cookies more. They were dense and gooey, with a lovely caramelized brown sugar flavor. The flecks of almond detectable throughout (Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal isn't as finely ground as other brands), benefitted the cookies' flavor and texture.
My third batch came from a box. I wrote a while ago about Cherrybrook Kitchen's Sugar Cookie Mix, which works like a charm but makes me feel like a cheater. The ingredients in the chocolate chip cookie mix are very similar: a mix of white and brown rice flour, lots of sugar, xanthan gum, and some starch.
Like the sugar cookies, the just-add-water-and-margarine chocolate chip cookies are puffy, quite sweet, and a little grainy. Of the three batches, the mix made the tastiest (and quickest) cookie dough; I saved a bit for mixing into ice cream.
After two weeks of eating cookies and studying the effects of gluten-free flour combinations, I was ready to create a recipe of my own. I took the rice flour and starch from Cherrybrook Kitchen's mix, the almond flour and brown sugar from Lori's recipe, and modeled the rest of my ingredients on the classic Toll House recipe.
Photogenic and completely delicious! They're crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside, and they hold up well for days. The recipe needs a little tidying up before I can share it; I threw every binding agent I could think of into those cookies, and I'm sure some of them are redundant. Peanut butter made a lovely addition to the second batch.
I can't believe it, but I'm beginning to get tired of chocolate chip cookies. The recipe is almost there, though, so I'll make another batch this weekend and get it right.
How I suffer for my art.

Incident is fifth questionable mailing since newspaper publication of gun-permit database.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A suspicious package mailed to the home of the editor of a newspaper that has been the target of criticism after publishing a database of local gun-permit holders contain non-toxic fecal matter, police said Friday.
A bomb squad was called on Thursday to check the package that was delivered to the home of CynDee Royle, editor and vice president/news of The Journal News. Public Safety Commissioner David Chong would not say whether the white shipping envelope contained a message or threat.
It was the fifth instance of a suspicious letter or package being delivered to the newspaper's White Plains offices or to the homes of company employees since Dec. 23 when The Journal News published a Dec. 23 article titled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood." The report included an interactive map on the newspaper's website with the names and addresses of legal pistol-permit holders in Rockland and Westchester counties.
STORY: N.Y. newspaper's gun-owner database draws criticism
MORE: N.Y. county to 'condemn' newspaper for gun-permit map
The map ignited a firestorm of controversy and continues to be criticized by some who feel it threatens public safety and by others who feel it demonizes legal gun owners.
On Thursday, about 20 police officers from the city and the county, the bomb squad, a firetruck and two ambulances responded to Royle's street and remained for more than one hour.
"We're investigating a suspicious package that was delivered here," White Plains police Lt. Eric Fischer said.
He said the bomb squad had removed the package and transported it to a county public-safety facility for analysis.
Chong said police were trying to determine who sent Thursday's package as well as earlier threatening mail.
Two envelopes containing white powder arrived at the newspaper's offices last week. Both were determined to be baking powder. Two other suspicious items were mailed to the home of a reporter. One of them was deemed not dangerous by police. The other, which arrived Thursday, was still being analyzed by police. Armed guards were hired at the headquarters shortly after the public outcry.

In preparation for blogging on the application of flash memory technologies to directory services, this blog post will cover the basics of flash memory. This will help people begin to understand why flash through the ZFS secondary [filesystem] cache (a.k.a. L2ARC) and ZFS Intent Log (a.k.a. ZIL) can improve overall directory performance. Further, the use of flash memory and ZFS will also enable radical new directory services architectures. More on those applications in a future blog post. For now, let's review the basics of flash memory.
Flash memory is a non-volatile storage medium that is read and written to through electrical erasure and reprogramming. Flash memory has better kinetic shock absorption properties, lower power consumption and much greater IOPS than hard disk drives. This combination of features makes flash memory a great intermediate storage medium between hard disks and DRAM memory in the storage stratum hierarchy. As an aside, read Brendan Gregg's blog post on how Sun's ZFS makes harnessing the best of flash memory possible and easily accessible by all applications through the ZFS Intent Log and ZFS secondary cache (a.k.a. L2ARC).
Flash memory consists of an array of memory cells in the form of floating-gate transistors. At the present time, there are two categories of flash memory devices. They are single-level cell (SLC) and multi-level cell (MLC) devices. SLC devices store a single bit of information per cell and MLC devices store multiple bits of information per cell. The inherent danger that comes with MLC devices is that the flash memory loses more data per block than compared to SLC when memory cells fail. StorageSearch.com has a great article titled Are MLC SSDs Ever Safe in Enterprise Apps that gives a great in-depth look at this issue. Sun recognizes this tradeoff and has elected to stick with SLC based flash memory for its performance and better reliability characteristics.
The two most well known limitations of flash memory are erase-before-write and write endurance. Erase-before-write requires that an occupied data block (i.e. typically a 512KB group of 4KB memory cells) must be erased before the new data can be written to that block. The performance implication of this limitation is that the device will have a perception of very high write performance until all blocks have been written to for the first time. Once the effects of erase-before-write kicks in, the overall write throughput can drop significantly.
Write endurance simply means that each memory cell has a limited number of times that it can be erased before the memory cell fails. Current flash memory device write-erase-cycles range from 100,000 to 1,000,000 where MLC devices represent the low end and SLC devices are on the high end.
Flash memory producers typically employ one or more of the following strategies to address these limitations.
- Wear Leveling techniques distribute writes across the full array of memory cells in order to avoid pockets of cell failure. Wear leveling is also used to relocate bad blocks of data to working cells as well.
- Garbage Collection is employed within the flash memory controller to during idle device cycles consolidate existing occupied data blocks and erase the freed blocks. Garbage collection helps to prevent erase-before-write during write operations by keeping the erased block pool as large as possible. You might say that Garbage Collection is automated defragmentation while the flash memory is idle.
- The TRIM command, when invoked by the operating system tells the flash device to free up blocks that have been marked for deletion. For example, when you empty the trash bin of a Microsoft Windows desktop, the files are marked for deletion but not actually deleted. If Microsoft Windows is configured to run the TRIM command when files are deleted, the blocks occupied by the deleted files will be erased and made available for use by new data. If blocks were only marked as deleted and not actually erased, the flash memory device would fill up such that it would have to erase-before-write on every write operation because there wouldn't be any free (e.g. pre-erased) blocks available. Fortunately the use of flash memory by ZFS via the ZFS intent log and ZFS secondary cache do not need to invoke the TRIM command because the data is deleted instead of just being marked for deletion.
- Reserve Capacity is employed to ensure that the flash memory device has exccess capacity for bad block management and working space for garbage collection. Sun's flash memory devices reserve approximately 25% per flash module for this purpose.
A third less known limitation of some flash memory devices is the issue of write cache reliability. The core issue here is that most flash memory devices use DRAM to buffer data before it is written to the flash memory device in order to increase throughput performance. The danger with this kind of buffering is that during a power loss, all data in DRAM cache is susceptible to being lost if not committed to flash memory in time. Sun's flash modules mitigate this problem by implementing a super-capacitor to give the on-board DRAM buffer memory time to commit all buffered data to flash memory before the DRAM power is exhausted.
Sun's Flash Modules, the F20 Flash Accelerator PCIe card, and the F5100 Flash Array through the ZFS intent log and ZFS secondary cache will make the power and performance of flash memory accessible to all applications including directory services going forward.
That wraps up this blog post.
Have a flashtastic day!

cute, not so comfy
"The way the sandals holds on to your foot is so unlike any sandal I've ever owned. I typically look for leather sandals, something that will mold to my foot/arch/etc after awhile...These feel like straight plastic on my feet, and I'm confident even after several wears they won't be incredibly comfortable. That said, they're adorable. They look great with my dark dresses or capris and flowy tops, and I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort for style. I'd definitely love to find a similar pair but made a little better."

The worst housing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of horrible housing, is not in inner-city ghettoes or American Indian reservations, bad as those can be.
No, the worst housing I've ever seen is in the border areas adjacent to Mexico. Communities called colonias can feature unpaved roads, no sewer or water or electricity hookups, and ramshackle houses built of whatever crappy building materials come to hand. If you can imagine a house built on a frame of pallet skids covered in tarpaper, you're in the groove on the colonias.
The colonias dot our Mexican border in four states: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Basically they are tracts of land bought by developers and then subdivided and sold off in unimproved lots using financing which often calls for a default if even one payment is missed. Colonias residents typically put their resources into acquiring the land. The house is built catch as catch can.
I'm reminded of the colonias because of a conference I attended in Washington last week on rural housing. The group that put on the meeting, the Housing Assistance Council, released a new edition of its comprehensive publication Taking Stock that includes a section on the colonias.
Many of the colonias are rural, though some exist on the outskirts of cities like El Paso, Texas. The report has lots of interesting stats. In rural border regions, for instance, almost a quarter of homes are valued at $50,000 or less. That's three times the national average. Houses in the border area lack plumbing at twice the national average and a considerably higher percentage lack complete kitchen facilities.
HAC notes some "modest gains" in housing conditions along the border areas, led by Texas, which has the most of them. New Mexico has also passed a bill to help state colonias with infrastructure costs. But, the group's report says, remote areas make building infrastructure "prohibitively expensive."
The colonias are, typically, dismal places where disease and social problems run rampant. A tour of them leads to a feeling of shame that such conditions are tolerated in our country. Maybe more people need to take the tour.
