While for many people, the festive season is about locking themselves at home with their loved ones to tuck into a week's worth of turkey and stuffing, indulging in sugary treats and the odd tipple, for others Christmas signifies an opportunity to travel the world and rest up in a remote cabin or cottage with select family and friends.
If you fall into the latter category, you'll be pleased to hear that this year a beautiful timber residence in the mountainous region of Leis, Switzerland has become available to rent. For the first time ever, Peter and Annalisa Zumthor are opening up one of their cosy holiday homes in this quiet hamlet to the public, enabling them to rent The Unterhus for weeks at a time.
Peter and Annalisa Zumthor explain: "In 2009 we built two timber houses, the Oberhus and the Unterhus, in the hamlet of Leis, just over 1,500m above sea level in the community of Vals in Grisons. From 1 December 2012 onward we are letting out the Unterhus for vacations. A third timber house, the Turmlihus, will soon complete this little ensemble. The Turmlihus will welcome its first guests in autumn 2013. We are very much looking forward to having guests in our timber vacation homes in Leis."
A tiny hamlet of around 20 people, Leis is a remote community set in the soaring mountains of Vals, south-east Switzerland. During the winter months, the area is doused in thick snow with opportunities to ski or gather round the fire of Leis' only inn, whilst in the warmer seasons two families tend the mountain meadows.
Peter Zumthor's designs have received high acclaim throughout his career, winning the architect the Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture in 1999, Praemium Imperiale in 2008 and Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2009. In 2011 Zumthor completed his first architecture project in the UK after being invited to design the Serpentine Pavilion, a prestigious annual initiative which enables architects who have never realised a building in the UK to design a temporary structure in London's Hyde Park.
The timber-clad Unterhus property sleeps 4-5 people over three floors with the top floor advertised as 'an enclosed viewing platform [with] a balcony facing southwest'. Floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides provide uninterrupted views across the mountainous landscape, also viewable from the southwest-facing bedroom on the middle floor.
There are two bedrooms to choose from, one with a king-size bed and the other with two generous single beds which can be pushed together to form a double. A writing desk and day bed occupy the study which can be used as a workspace or additional bedroom, and the lounge on the top floor features a traditional wood-burning soapstone stove for added warmth.
Prices range from CHF 3,500-CHF 4,800. To enquire about availability please contact Zumthor Ferienhauser directly at Hohlstrasse 116, 8004 Zurich, Switzerland, on 0041 78 643 80 09 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

I recently visited the Valpolicella area for the second time this year and of course, focused quite a bit on Amarone. I am happy to report after tasting examples from 15 different estates that Amarone is now at an extremely high level of quality, joining wines such as Barolo and Brunello as one of the finest, most complex and just as important, one of the most consistent red wines in Italy, thanks to a recent string of notable vintages as well as first-rate winemaking. These are the glory days for Amarone.
Now of course, not every Amarone is outstanding (this is true with famous wines everywhere in the world). There are producers who are doing all they can to make as affordable a wine as possible, but let the buyer beware. Amarone (or more formally Amarone della Valpolicella) is produced by an expensive process known as appassimento, in which grapes are naturally dried in special rooms for three to four months. This is a costly, time-consuming method, but it's what gives Amarone its unique qualities. This is not a process that can be rushed, so the producers that want to find an easy solution are not crafting the best wine they can. Quite simply, there are no shortcuts to greatness.
In fact, 12 producers recently founded an organization named Le Famiglie dell'Amarone, meant to protect the special qualities of classic Amarone. Members of this group include some of the finest in the area, including Masi, Allegrini, Speri, Brigaldara, Tedeschi, Musella and Tenuta Sant'Antonio. You can read my article about this group here.

One of the reasons I am so excited about Amarone these days is the shift in style. Amarone has always been a powerful wine and remains such, but in the past, the wine was too brooding, a heavy wine that emphasized strong raisiny and herbal characteristics. But with the experience of the past two decades, the wines as a whole are much more elegant and emphasize fruit and complexity, all the while in a package that is 16% or 16.5% alcohol. Yes, Amarone is a big wine, but it is not a monster.
Recent vintages combined with a more refined winemaking style have given us elegant Amarones; one taste of the 2005 Zenato Riserva is brilliant evidence of this. 2006 was proclaimed a great vintage in the Valpolicella area (where grapes for Amarone are grown) and there are dozens of excellent examples; while many are sold out, the 2006 Buglioni and Masi Costasera Riserva are two first-rate bottlings from this vintage that are currently available.
As for 2007, one generally does not expect two great years in a row, but this indeed appears to be the situation for Amarone. "Early on, 2007 did not look like a special year, but now I think it is a fantastic vintage," notes Sandro Boscaini, technical director for Masi. Boscaini, truly one of the most influential individuals of Amarone over the past 40 years, thinks 2007 could be one of the all-time great vintages. I've tasted a few of the 2007s and find beautiful definition and finesse in these wines; among the finest are those from Allegrini; Tommasi; Tedsechi; Masi (Costasera normale and riserva); Tenuta Sant'Antonio (selezione Antonio Castagnedi); Massimago; Musella and Speri, this last a superb wine.

Then there is the most recent growing season, 2011. This was a slightly cool, rainy year throughout June and July. But then in mid-August, conditions changed as temperatures soared and stayed warm throughout September, assuring "perfect ripening" in the words of Gian Paolo Speri, producer from Pedemonte in the heart of the production zone. "2001 will be a very great vintage," says Speri.
The wines from 2011 will not be released until 2014 at the earliest, with most being available on the market in 2015 or 2016. Until then, consumers can enjoy the outstanding offerings from 2006 and 2007 with other beautiful wines from 2008 (slightly lighter wines, but with beautiful aromatics and acidity), followed by the ripe, intensely flavored 2009s and the beautifully balanced 2010s. As I wrote earlier, these are the glory days for Amarone.

Bachelor: ICPA Best Paper of Yearby Patrick Bryant '16 • April 6, 2014 Share:
For the third time in the past six years, The Bachelor was named Newspaper of the Year by the Indiana Collegiate Press Association, the association's highest distinction for print newspapers. The distinction was bolstered by eight 1st place awards and 14 overall awards.
"It is a tremendous honor for The Bachelor, and for Wabash as a whole, to win Division III Newspaper of the Year," Editor-in-chief Scott Morrison '14 said. "I am extremely happy for and proud of my entire staff."
The Bachelor had previously been named Newspaper of the Year in 2009 under Editor-in-chief Patrick McAlister '10 and in 2011 under Riley Floyd '13.
Of the 14 overall awards the staff received, a number of different staff members from the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years were recognized. Receiving 1st place awards were Morrison, staff writer Samuel Vaught '16, Sports Editor Jocelyn Hopkinson '15, and Photo Editor Ian Baumgardner '14. Receiving 2nd or 3rd place awards were photographer Corey Egler '15, Ryan Lutz '13, Cavelife Editor David Myles '14, opinion columnist Ryan Horner '15, and Opinion Editor Patrick Bryant '16.
Some of the pieces to receive high praise from the judges include Vaught's story "Beam me up, Wally," a preview to BKT Assistant Professor of Mathematics Colin McKinney's Star-Trek themed freshman tutorial.
"A strong lead reels you in and the flow keeps you going," the judge said of the story. "A solid feature about an interesting class that made sure to include the education importance."
Though this wasn't the first time The Bachelor received such an honor, it was the first time since the newspaper was moved into Division III, a more competitive division with college newspapers that circulate to up to 3,000 students. Director of Digital Media Howard Hewitt, adviser to The Bachelor, said this means a lot considering The Bachelor staff, of roughly 20 students, receives no formal classroom training in journalism compared to the classroom opportunities and journalism programs, sometime with very large endowments, at rival schools
"It's really hard to put into perspective how significant this is when you consider other students are learning journalism on a daily basis while our guys participate in The Bachelor strictly for their own enjoyment," he said.
The Bachelor scored 35 points on the way to receiving top honors. DePauw University also received 35 points, tying The Bachelor. Indiana Wesleyan University and Goshen College finished second and third respectively.

Whiteface attempt, take II
March 10, 2014 - Morgan Ryan
Took another stab at climbing Whiteface Mountain and skiing down the other side on the toll road. We came up just a bit short but had a heck of an adventure along the way.
First stop was Whiteface Landing on Lake Placid
This lean-to about a mile from the landing pretty much marks the beginning of the climb. It's a solid 2.4 miles of steep uphill from here to the summit.
We battled through endless amounts of balsam fir and other plant life that had grown over the trail, and we had to break trail for much of the final mile.
We got as high as this first set of ledges above treeline and turned around. The guide book says that this is about .2 miles from the summit.
The clouds were starting to clear as we headed down but we had no time to stick around and wait for the views to open up.
It was a crystal clear, starry night as we skied out in the dark after a long and tiring 13-hour day.
We attempted this same trip a year ago with the same group. Here's a report of that outing:
Who knows? Maybe we will give it another try next year. Third time's a charm?

In this 18th century letter written by twenty-six-year-old Justin Hitchcock (1752-1822) to the parents of twenty-two-year-old Mercy Hoyt (1756-1834), he follows the custom of the time and asks their permission to continue seeing her. Hitchcock explains that he is seeking "a partner in this life" and, although would not plan to marry during [Revolutionary] war time ("whilst our public affairs are in so unhappy a situation") or until he is financially more secure, he asks for their blessing for the future. The couple was married nineteen months later on November 25, 1779.

I know a few others have already posted on link building with your podcast, so I'll try and present some new ideas as well go in depth into others. A lot of people have had great success with a podcast alone, but there is another obvious benefit, and that is the one way link.
I don't really like the Odiogo method because you're essentially cluttering the web with the same content, and no one really wants to listen to a digital voice either. If you do a podcast properly within a niche that you care about or already an authority in, then the listeners will flock to you. I used to do an audio podcast that was music related a few years ago and it lasted about 6 months. The one thing I learned was that it was hard to maintain updating on a regular basis.
If you do happen to be podcasting for your company, niche or blog then there's no harm in building strong links while attracting more listeners. There have already been lists of places to submit your podcast for links so I'm going to cover a few less mentioned ones that have popped up in the past year, and as well some oldies but goodies.
Adding a podcast to your online web presence which adds more credibility and substance to your overall "web pie". Adding media like this is a great way to jump ahead of other people within in your niche, and will no doubt help with your rankings. If you'd like to do more to become a strong web presence look into making your website mobile, or adding a forum which lets the world(and Google) know you mean business.
PodBean.com is one of the webs largest podcast directories that has been around for years thus packs a lot of link weight.Once you've signed up to PodBean, you can then setup your custom podcast page with your feed, some content and of course dofollow links within the profile. If you keep up a regular show schedule it will help immensely in getting your podcast page indexed and pass on the much needed link love.
BlogTalkRadio.com is a really cool site I frequent for personal pleasure, not just lurking around in the dark like most link builders. The site has been around for a couple of years now and has seen a lot of growth lately in traffic and users. You get your own profile here and they are of course indexed by the search engines, but you have to be an active podcaster for this to be worth your time. Your episode guides can also contain links to important things you mention in the show, and they're dofollow.
PodcastPeople.com is new to me and I scoped it out hours before writing this post, which makes me one of those link builders lurking in the dark. This site offers a whole suite of amazing tools at your podcasting disposal. On top of getting a dofollow link within your profile, you get your own subdomain to go along with a very content rich podcast page. With your page you get a sweet audio player for your podcast, comments from users and of course archives. The site's setup is allowing some great internal linking so the pagerank is being siphoned nicely.
MyPodcast.com has been around for a few years and is another great source to spread your podcast. The podcast pages are a little messy and remind me of Myspace, but regardless you can build up a strong page with your content. You can write essentially a blog post with each episode which can include dofollow links, and your sidebar has a place for links to your resources as well.
Podomatic.com has been listed in other people's posts before but I'm going to mention it still because it is a great site to host your podcast on. There are a lot of active listeners that take part in the site which gives it a huge bump in my mind. Remember that there are tens of thousands of podcasts already, so you want to make sure your page stays indexed. Putting up that great content and getting user interaction will almost guarantee it. Each podcast post can have links in it as well your get a place in the sidebar to link with, and both are dofollow.
Podnova.com is one of the cleanest podcast hosting sites I've seen on the market and its of course 100% free. The site has very little advertising on both the site and your podcast page, leaving you with a lot of room to put good content down. The format follows the same route as most others and allows dofollow links within the episode content and within your show profile.
Blubrry.com was new to me and caught my eye with not only a cool name, but a very clean minimal design. Your users podcast page is very clean with just the goods, each podcast episode with a nifty easy access iphone feature, and a guestbook for users to leave some feedback. You cannot choose your anchor text but you can get a dofollow link back to the "podcast homepage", and most of the active pages had a pagerank of 4 or higher!
Mevio.com is the last item on the list and used to be the giant podcast site Podshow.com. If you've never been here before I urge you to take an hour or two to browse some shows, because this is where high quality and podcasting come together. You get your own subdomain with your podcast account and one very sexy looking design. Mevio seems to be taking advantage of a nice internal linking structure on their own, so the pages seem to get crawled quite a bit. They have just about half a million pages indexed! Other than that, you can get a link back to your project homepage, and it is dofollow!
Thanks for reading the post and I hope you found it useful. There are dozens upon dozens of other great podcast hosting sites you can use for link building, but they've been covered before by other good bloggers. I'll link to some other resources that should help fill in the gap and keep you busy for hours to come.

There's a new iTunes update in town, and at the top of the list of new goodies is a new look MiniPlayer. The tiny little iTunes window has had a makeover that now includes a progress bar for the track currently playing, alongside your album artwork too. It may well be tiny, but it does look a lot nicer now, so good job on that front, Apple.
Also getting the visual makeover treatment is the songs view. With this latest update you can enjoy all your album artwork whilst in songs view. It's a small touch, but I know from personal tastes that having album artwork on show just makes the whole experience a little more pleasurable. But, that's just me.
That's not all though. Also improved in iTunes 11.0.3 is support for multi-disc albums. No more will separate discs be listed as separate albums, all discs will now appear in your iTunes library as a single album. Something I've wanted for some time, as I'm sure countless other users have.
Grab a copy of iTunes 11.0.3 from the download link below, or by heading into Software Update on your Mac, or iTunes on your Mac or Windows PC and hitting check for updates. Once you're done, head on back here and let us know how you like the new updates.

Biologists who study extremophiles are dramatically expanding our sense of just how amazingly resilient microorganisms can be — insights that have serious implications in our search for extraterrestrial life. At the same time, these hardy microbes are also inspiring synthetic biologists to create their own strains of life, that might be capable of living in harsh, off-planet conditions.
But as a recent article by Tanya Lewis in Wired points out, while the prospect of kindling life on another planet holds promise for future colonization efforts, there are some important scientific and ethical questions that need to be answered first.
Life abounds
There's no question that certain microbes are very hard to kill. We know that microbes can live in the cracks of rocks near scorchingly hot undersea volcanoes, the driest deserts, the highest altitudes, and in extremely primitive environments. We also know that some microbes can withstand lack of oxygen, and the rigours of space.
And as Tanya Lewis writes, these microbial outliers have given prospective synthetic biologists a wider sense of what's possible. And indeed, the advent of synthetic biology, with its potential for custom designed artificial life, has inspired a number of initiatives and projects, including the International Genetically Engineered Machines (IGEM) challenge — an annual competition for students who are actively hacking living cells in an effort to create something entirely new.
The Hell Cell
And these students are not thinking small. Some are looking to create a super-extremophile bacterium that can withstand the most severe conditions — including those experienced on Mars. Lewis writes:
The Hell Cell includes genetic modules, or BioBricks, based on DNA from a variety of ultra-tough organisms, including a cold-resistant species of Siberian beetle that makes "antifreeze" proteins, a radiation-resistant bacterium that sequesters large amounts of the element manganese, and E. coli, which produces a nutrient that confers cold and drought resistance. The team is also investigating heat- and acid-tolerance mechanisms that could be useful in other planetary environments.
While they're currently experimenting with E. coli, BioBricks can be mixed and matched in other species, tailoring new strains to particular conditions. "You go into nature and find genes, and then you can recombine them into circuits that you cannot find in nature," explained Andre Burnier, one of the team's mentors and a lab technician at NASA's Ames Research Center.
To be really successful, the bacteria must do more than just survive on Mars. They need to perform functions useful for establishing a human colony one day. In addition to the Hell Cell suite, the team is developing bacteria that could extract minerals from Martian sediment or recycle rare metals from spacecraft electronics.
A central impetus behind the desire to create a Martian Hell Cell is the suggestion that these microbes may help humans colonize Mars. For example, the microbes could assist in the production of food, medicine, and building materials. And used en masse, these microorganisms could also be made to convert planetary elements into something more useful for humans, such as oxygen.
A fundamental problem with this prospect, however, is that we risk contaminating Mars. The introduction of human-made lifeforms on Mars would have serious implications in our efforts to find pre-existing signs of life. It would essentially spoil the sample and put all subsequent analyses into question.
And as NASA's current Curiosity mission shows, there's still lots for us to learn. Despite the fact that we have yet to discover life on Mars, an increasing number of signs point to the possibility that it's there.
New Scientist's Michael Brooks recently pointed out that NASA's Viking mission may have actually found evidence of life on Mars in 1977 — and that Curiosity could be the rover to prove it. Specifically, some scientists are arguing that the discovery of carbon-based molecules in the Martian soil could indicate the presence of one type of bacteria.
Similarly, Roger Highfield reported in The Telegraph back in 2007 that the Viking mission may have detected signs of an unprecedented life form based on hydrogen peroxide. An analysis by Joop Houtkooper from Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen, Germany, suggests that 0.1% of the Martian surface could be biological in origin — an amount that's comparable to biomass found in some Antarctic permafrost.
And of course, there was the inconclusive discovery of a microbial lifeform on a Martian meteorite found in Antarctica back in 1996.
These suggestions may or may not pan out, but it's clear that we're quite a ways off from having a definitive answer. Consequently, prior to any introduction of synthetic life on Mars, we need to explore and exhaust all avenues as it pertains to the search for life on the Red Planet.
Such a discovery would not just prove monumental from an historical and existential perspective, it would also yield vital clues about the formation and resiliency of life in the cosmos. Finding life on Mars could prove to be the most important scientific discovery we ever make — so let's not ruin it. There'll be a time for synthetic life later.

text: The history of the Hermon A. MacNeil Park and the history of the College Point neighborhood are closely linked. In 1835 Reverend William Augustus Muhlenberg purchased 134 acres of land in the area as the site of a new Episcopal seminary. Due to the financial Panic of 1837, plans for an expensive stone school building were abandoned. Muhlenberg's sister, Mrs. Rogers, purchased the remaining stone for her own mansion, and a new frame building rose on the school's masonry foundation. St. Paul's College (for which College Point is named) opened in 1839 and closed about ten years later.

An apple a day: Recipes for the season
The area's apple season is expected to be rather robust this year and CBS Boston is reporting a "3.5 million 42-pound'' box estimate from area orchardists, according to the New England Apple Association. To prepare for this year's crop, here's a roundup of some of our favorite apple recipes. Submit your own through the Recipe Box Project.
Recipe: Apple-blackberry cobbler
Make this old-fashioned fruit cobbler in a skillet with an ovenproof handle and serve it in the same dish, with its rustic, sweet-biscuit crust.
Recipe: Pork chops with roasted apples and squash
Pair pork chops with roasted apples and caramelized squash, along with herbs and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Serve with egg noodles or red potatoes.
Recipe: Roast chicken with apples
Apples lend a hint of sweetness to a traditional roast chicken and paired with rosemary and thyme, the fruit becomes savory.
Recipe: Old-fashioned apple cake
There's not a lot of cake and not a lot of butter, but there's a whole lot of apples. It is quick to make and comforting to eat warm with afternoon tea or after school on a blustery day. Or entice the troops out of bed in the morning with the aromas of cinnamon and apple baking.
Recipe: Apple streusel cake
This beautiful cake comes from the late Richard Sax, a celebrated baker and author of "Classic Home Desserts.'' He got the recipe from Margaret Stieber of Sheboygan, Wisc.
Recipe: Turkey tenderloins on potatoes and apples
Roast boned turkey breastn a bed of potatoes, onions, and apples. The dish is a little like turkey with stuffing — only quicker.
Recipe: Apple-pear cornmeal crisp
Crisps, along with cobblers, grunts, slumps, and pandowdies, are pleasing, old-fashioned fruit desserts. Here, a small amount of cornmeal replaces some of the flour in the butter topping to add extra crunch.
Recipe: Easy cranberry and apple cake
Ina Garten's fall cake, baked in a pie pan, will stand in for a real pie for people who are afraid to make crust.
Recipe: Honey-caramel apple dip
You may have noticed individual packs of caramel sauce lining produce shelves for dipping apples but it's easy enough to make your own. For added fun, set up a dipping bar with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and red hot cinnamon candies. Skip the stick.
Recipe: Pan-roasted pork chops with butternut squash, onions, and apples
Was it changing the clocks or the early darkness combined with dampness that makes us long for some comfort? Pork chops can do just that, particularly when paired with butternut squash, local apples, and onions. Prepare a simple brine and let the meat absorb the salty-sweet flavors while you cut up vegetables. This simple step guarantees flavorful, juicy meat. Add fresh sage and a touch of nutmeg to the sweet and savory garnish.
Recipe: Torta di mele (Apple cake)
It isn't difficult to become enamored of torta di mele. Happily, it's also quick to prepare. In the time it takes to heat the oven, you can have the batter mixed and the three apples sliced. It takes just over half an hour to bake and it's delicious warm or at room temperature.
Recipe: Apple turkey burgers with curried mayo
On a nice night, you can grill these turkey burgers, which are laced with diced apple, scallions, hot sauce, sweet chili sauce, and cilantro. Or broil them close to the element. Set them in a roll, add lettuce, tomato, and onion, if you like, and top with curried mayo.
Recipe: Whole-wheat pancakes with apple compote
Whole-wheat pancakes, made with beaten egg whites, are hearty and nutty, a good match for an apple compote with walnuts, raisins, maple syrup, and warm spices. Double the compote recipe to keep on hand for other breakfasts or to set beside pork chops at supper.
Recipe: Spiced apple cake with cream cheese frosting
With its spiced, apple-rich batter and cinnamon-scented frosting, this cake shows off the apples to their best advantage. Oil keeps the baked texture of the batter fairly firm, with moist, rich results, and extends the keeping time of the cake.
Recipe: Apple-jicama-carrot slaw
Honey and Dijon mustard meld with anise-flavored tarragon to make crisp apples and root vegetables pop in this simple slaw.
Recipe: Hard-cider braised chicken
To guarantee the most flavor, begin with whole chicken legs (the drumsticks are attached to the thighs). Brown them in butter and bacon fat and then cook them in the oven with hard cider, fresh herbs, and winter vegetables. When the meat is plump, falling off the bone, and rich with its own broth, it's done. One pot plus one hour equals dinner for everybody.
Recipe: Apple clafoutis
Traditionally made in the Limousin region of France with sour cherries, this rustic dessert offers a platform to showcase seasonal fruit. The mixture is similar to a crepe or pancake batter. Let it rest and it will develop flavor. Saute apples in butter and sugar, then combine the fruit and batter in a baking dish. As it cooks, it turns into a souffle with a golden crust, which falls as it cools (it's supposed to) and tastes almost creamy.
Baked apples
A quick dessert that pleases everyone in the family. If you're feeding kids, use all cider instead of the brandy; for others, bourbon, Calvados, even rum will work well. Whisking creme fraiche into the baking juices gives the sauce body, tang, and a slight hint of richness. You can also pour in heavy cream at the end.
Recipe: Farmhouse apple cream pie
We were intrigued by this tart sent in by Melinda Kessler Spratlan of Amherst. We tried the pie with chunks, and then with thin slices arranged in concentric circles, and far preferred the homier, chunkier look.
Recipe: Baked French toast with apple compote
Instead of apples, you can also make this with Bartlett or Anjou pears. Peel and halve them, cut out the cores, and chop them coarsely.
Recipe: Grilled brie and pecorino sandwiches with apples and apricot jam
The tart and sweet flavors of green apple and apricot jam are nice compliments to salty pecorino and creamy brie, with added crunch from a dense, seeded bread.
Recipe: 1-2-3 apple pie
Toss apples with sugar and cinnamon, heap them in a pie pan, and top with buttered phyllo dough. You will not find an easier apple pie, complete with crisp top crust.
Recipe: Julie's mother's apple cake
What is special about this cake is its remarkably moist texture, from oil and orange juice. When you layer the batter with four apples, you wonder if there's enough batter to hold the apples together. But there is. The cake tastes delicious, it's easy to put together, it keeps well, and it's high in the pan. Head to the kitchen.
Recipe: Sausage, apple, and cheddar souffle
Every community has recipes for a dish of layered bread, eggs, and milk, which sits in the fridge overnight and puffs in the oven – a little like a souffle. This one is made with sausage, apples, onions, and cheddar. When you have guests, make it a day or two in advance and pull it from the refrigerator in the morning. You'll look brilliant.
Recipe: Braised pork shoulder with apple-fig sauce
Pork shoulder, also called Boston butt, is a large, tough cut that turns fall-apart tender after long, slow cooking. Here, the meat is accented with fresh ginger and served with apples and dried figs.
Recipe: Upside-down gingerbread with apples
Old-fashioned gingerbread is a warming dessert, especially topped with apples. The apples go into the pan first and the upside-down part is easier than you might think.
Recipe: Stuffed acorn squash with chestnuts and apples
Apples, chestnuts, sage, and thyme make this a festive side dish that can also double as a substantial option for the vegetarian main.
Recipe: Pork loin on a bed of apples, potatoes, and onions
Here, a bed of golden potatoes and sweet onion roast until they're almost tender, then a boneless pork loin and apple wedges go into the pan and everything finishes roasting together.
Recipe: Bratwurst braised in beer with red cabbage and apples
The universally popular German pub dish, served on a roll with brown mustard and pickles, is revamped here with slightly sweet-and-sour red cabbage.
Recipe: Apple cream-cheese tart
Something like a cheesecake, this apple tart features sauteed slices of fruit topped with a layer of vanilla cheesecake.
Recipe: Apple streusel cake
This beautiful cake comes from the late Richard Sax, a celebrated baker and author of "Classic Home Desserts.'' He got the recipe from Margaret Stieber of Sheboygan, Wisc.
Recipe: Spiced apple scones
Buttery and laced with shredded apples, these scones are scented with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Recipe: Open-faced apple-streusel tart
Most home bakers are intimidated by the idea of making flaky, tender pie crust. This recipe eliminates most of the stress but you get an elegant result worthy of a French patisserie.

Why the Party Could Be Over for Investment Bankers
Investment bankers at Credit Agricole have just had their expenses capped, limiting their use of taxis, expensive hotels and gourmet meals. This is not only another sign of cost-cutting across the industry, but an indication of how quickly the French bank is retreating from investment banking, say David Enrich and Noemie Bisserbe.

For me, the most valuable feature of any item is its versatility, so items that may be used for more than one purpose are appreciated: e.g. in both serving and storing food and to be fridge safe. For serving I also love divided dishes - being able to put multiple things in the same serving dish makes less to carry to the table, and takes up less space on the table and in the cupboard.
the dishes could be designed to fit on top of each other, one as base, one as lid, again, something ingenious and aesthetic!

The Northern Elite Football League (not to be confused with minor league football competitor New England Football League) banned two players for life after a nasty brawl broke out in Eau Claire, Wisconsin between the Lake Superior Rage and Eau Claire Crush.
Wide receiver Lashawn Bullock and kicker Ryan Rodriguez earned the ban for their roles in a fight Saturday between the squads. Four other players earned three-game suspensions, and Lake Superior was placed in what the league calls "bad standing," meaning they'd be required to play any postseason games on the road despite being undefeated so far this season.
A Rage player allegedly punched Crush coach Fred Hoversholm while another Rage player is reported to have attacked an opponent with his helmet. We're not sure what's the most shocking part of this: that a kicker was banned for violence, that a coach was punched, or that a minor league football organization has the balls to use the word "elite" in its name.

~ Bake at 180'C preheated oven for 20 minutes or till cook.
~ Remove from pan immediately and let cool.
** Do the same for the Hazelnut sponge.

In what appears to be a page taken from handheld GPS units used by hikers and outdoorsmen, the Cultiva Marker Lite system presents a "virtual highway" to guide you down the field, whether the field is straight, curved or irregular. Steer the tractor so that it stays on the highway on the screen and you're on the right path in the field. In addition to a "steer toward" indicator, the screen tells distance from desired line, ground speed and number of passes.
After you set in boom widths, make headland boundary passes, and stake your field points, the system will guide you within the headland and provide a countdown warning as the machine nears the end of the row.
Custom applicators who have tested earlier versions of the Cultiva say the product is intuitive, making it easier to use and install than most lightbar guidance systems. It is well adapted to operations such as spraying soybeans or spreading lime. Field and file memory lets you stop spreading after a couple of rounds, refill and go back exactly to where you left off.
Simple installation allows you to move the system from one machine to another with little difficulty. There are no junction boxes or hornet's nest of wires to deal with. The adjustable, backlit, 8.1-in. LCD screen has suction cup mounts, and the GPS antenna mounts magnetically. An easy-access port on the back of the console allows you to update system software as new technology becomes available. Price: $3,500.

Super Soul
I'm lucky to have this garment included in Veronik's first
St. Denis Magazine collection for her scrumptious crisp new yarn, great for texture, fabulous colors, coming soon to a Local Yarn Store near you. I think the magazine will be available in shops and from the St. Denis website which is still under construction.
I'm so glad it is still under construction, makes me feel better.
It's about time revealed what I've been up to. I'm working on a new website. It is a little slow going for me, since there is soooooo much to learn. I've had a lot of help from some wonderful people, some simply amazing friends that I have. I am so thankful.
The plan was to be up and running by next week and if all goes well it will be, or shortly thereafter. Knock on Wood.
So if I've been kind of silent on the knitterly aspects of things...well I've been learning about shopping carts and CSS code and things I'd really rather not have to know...you know how it is...when we built our house, my husband and I even put in the septic system ourselves....a challenging one....so yes, I do know how to build a septic system, for which I am proud, but I truly hope I never do it again...
Here's hoping this time next year, I'm a whiz what seems a mystery to me today.

Alfresco and SpringSource Announce Spring Surf Extension for Spring Developers
Largest Spring Extension to Date Contributed to Spring Open Source Community Under Apache 2.0 License
LONDON and PALO ALTO, CALIF. — December 9, 2009 — Alfresco Software, the leader in open source enterprise content management, and SpringSource, a division of VMware (NYSE: VMW), today announced the availability of Spring Surf Extension, a view composition framework for developing content-rich Java-based web applications. Spring Surf was originally developed by Alfresco Software and has now been contributed to the Spring open source community under the Apache license, version 2.0.
SpringSource is the leader in Java application infrastructure and management and the company behind Spring, the most popular programming model for rapidly creating enterprise Java applications. High-end web sites, such as travel and e-commerce sites, frequently use Spring to integrate enterprise and back-end systems, but often need more extensive web frameworks and content services. Spring Surf furthers ease-of-development with Spring by providing a scriptable approach to defining web pages, templates and components. Spring Surf enables developers to script views and content renditions on top of either new or existing Spring MVC projects.
In addition, Spring Surf provides a number of useful libraries for developers including Web Scripts, which enables the construction of scriptable remote REST interfaces to an application. Spring Surf also includes tools to further accelerate the pace of application development, including an add-on for scriptable, command-driven configuration to Spring Roo, a new productivity tool for Java developers, and getting started plugins for the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS), the best development environment for building Spring-powered enterprise Java applications.
"Alfresco and SpringSource share a common vision for providing more modular and productive web application development frameworks. We welcome this contribution and are pleased to have Alfresco as an active member of the Spring community," said Rod Johnson, General Manager of the SpringSource Division of VMware and the creator of Spring.
"This is a significant contribution. Alfresco has invested considerable effort in Spring Surf, which provides a viable alternative to Apache Tiles for the construction of rich web pages from reusable components," commented Keith Donald, lead of the Web Application Development Products Team at SpringSource.
Spring Surf provides Java developers with the following functionality for use with Spring version 3.0:
- A view composition and page layout framework for Spring MVC web applications
- A complementary scripting framework that works with Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow, and Grails
- Hooks into both the Content Management Interoperability Service (CMIS) specification and Alfresco Web Content Management
- Integration into Spring Roo, and SpringSource Tool Suite
- The Apache 2.0 license
"Increasingly, enterprise Java developers need to utilize scriptable web layout and design tools as well as REST-based services when building web content applications. Along with Spring, Surf has been the foundation of Alfresco's entire architecture and has general applicability to all Spring developers," said John Newton, CTO and Co-founder, Alfresco Software. "Alfresco is committed to delivering superior developer productivity through scripting, and this announcement forms the foundation of our strategy to deliver a broader content application platform for content centric applications. With this contribution, we intend to work with Spring technologies and the Spring community in creating the best possible web framework."
The Spring Surf Extension milestone 1 release includes the following elements:
- Surf – A scriptable, content-oriented framework for defining pages, templates, components and layout of a web application
- Web Scripts – A scriptable, content-oriented framework for building remote REST interfaces
- Web Studio – A visual design environment for drag-and-drop assembly of Surf pages, layouts and components
- Sample Sites – Spring 3.0 Petclinic and Spring 3.0 Spring Travel sample sites (built and delivered using Surf)
- Spring Roo Add-on – A command-driven installation and generation of Surf scripts and configuration for either new or existing Spring projects
- SpringSource Tool Suite Plugins – Wizards and additional template types for Spring Surf projects
- PHP and Groovy scripting for Spring Web Applications – mix and match technologies as required to quickly assemble and deliver your Spring MVC web application

If you have followed the steps in Getting Search Rules to work with normal (click) Category navigation to have search rules for category navigation, you may have an issue with sequencing not working. Since we set the search term to be "*", the sequencing function will be missing from the search query, which results in missing sequencing:
The logic in the SolrSearchSequencingExpressionProvider expects the sort and the term parameters to be empty to add the sequencing function.
If you set the sequencing function in the custom expression parameter, you can work around this issue:
Add the _wcf.search.expr='$customExpr$' into the getCatalogNavigationViewByCategory expression builder under get-data-config.xml
Add the value of the parameter into the CategoryNavigationSetup.jspf:
<wcf:param name="customExpr" value="(_val_:\"product(-0.001,getSequenceByCatalogAndCategory(sequence,'${WCParam.catalogId}','${WCParam.categoryId}'))\")" />
- Restart the Commerce server.
