While the house has a sense of being removed from the Vatican, she said it provides views of the papal apartment, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.
"We felt connected to the Vatican itself," she said, although "it's not like there's any access to the Vatican itself, the main buildings or anything like that."
The Mater Ecclesiae is "very small" and "very hot," she said. "There's no trees shading it. I think it'll work for him if they have air conditioning for him. They'll have to remodel the kitchen and things like that because it was so simple."
While she lived there, bars adorned the windows and separated the nuns from their visitors in the meeting room, in keeping with a cloistered, set-apart lifestyle.
When Benedict arrives he can stroll the private courtyard and take in the perfumed aroma from the 15 or so John Paul II rose bushes, a white-petaled flower cultivated in honor of his predecessor. Armijo said a group donated the rose bushes to the Vatican in honor of the late pontiff. Benedict gave them to the sisters to grow. Every two weeks they sent a bouquet up to the papal residence.
In the gardens, Armijo said, Benedict can also find lemon and orange trees in addition to a small vegetable garden used by the house for meals.
The monastery, when Armijo lived there, had a few bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, a library and a chapel. The walls were plain and whitewashed. It does not bear the artistic treasures other parts of the Vatican hold, like Michelangelo's masterworks the Pieta sculpture in St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, or the massive Last Judgment painting above the altar in the Sistine Chapel.
"The only real piece of art is in the chapel. It has a beautiful bronzed life-sized crucifix," Armijo said.
A life of prayer
In the chapel the pope might say Mass every day for his small household, said Monsignor Rick Hilgartner, executive director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat of Divine Worship.

What Do the Stars, Stripes, and Colors of the American Flag Mean?
The Flag of the United States is blowing in the breeze
Sometimes it is called, " Old Glory,"
Or the "Stars and Stripes"
The colors are Red, White, and Blue
And each color means something
Red means courage – Are we brave?
White means purity - Are we pure and good?
Blue means justice – Do we play fair?
Why stars and stripes?
Stars are considered a symbol of the heavens and the
Divined goal to which man has aspired from the beginning of time.
The Stripes are symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun.
The Stars represent the 50 states.

Electric hub motor improves EV range: Part 1—Technology basics
Roland Marbot, EZ Consulting
Most of the electric cars currently available are using brushless permanent magnet (PM) motors. These motors have very good characteristics, but their control circuitry consumes a lot of power, that may require liquid cooling. This wasted energy is taken from the energy stored in the battery, reducing the range of the car.
For hybrid vehicles using series power train technology (the combustion engine drives an electrical generator charging the battery), this waste of energy translates into a reduction of the miles covered per gallon of gas.
This series describes the concept of a brushless DC motor with an "electronic gearbox," requiring an almost lossless control circuitry. This translates into improved range, which is also increased by a nearly 100% regenerative braking energy recovery, as well as reduced manufacturing cost and better reliability.
The motor described here is designed to fit into the wheels of a 4WD car. The same concept can be used for implementations of a centralized electrical motor with mechanical transmission. Other implementations of the concept can be considered.
Motor and gearbox basics
The axle of the motor is fixed, with no transmission of any mechanical energy from the vehicle to the wheels (which allows for simplified shock absorbers and improvement of the energy transmission yield). The stator of the motor, "tied" to the axle, is made of printed circuits with copper electric wires. The rotor of the motor is made of magnets and is joined to the rim of the wheel, turning around the axle.
The described motor is made up of a dozen "stacks." Each stack is 5-mm thick, and is made of a disk of magnets, 3-mm thick, and a printed-circuit disk, 1.8-mm thick, with a 0.2-mm gap between the stator and rotor.
Below is a front view (top) and side view of the motor.
The magnet disks consist of 24 magnets, oriented as radial segments with a magnetization in the direction of the thickness of the disk. These segments occupy 50% of the area of the disk (non-adjacents) and are polarity alternated (N-S magnet, S-N magnet, N-S, S-N, etc). External diameter of the disk is 40 cm; internal diameter is 10 cm. Each magnet segment is 15 cm long.
A 1 Tesla (T) magnetic field can be generated in the air gap of this configuration (2-mm gap for 3 mm magnet thickness) using neodymium rare-earth materials.
Next: Motor calculations
Bob Lacovara
It's a nifty motor, and might find application in non-automotive applications. To read that some of the control circuitry now in use needs liquid cooling is rather discouraging: that's a lot of wasted energy. One other point: recovering braking energy isn't merely a matter of being able to lay hands on it at the motor. You have to do something with it, typically put it into your battery. Trouble is, batteries don't recharge in seconds, and some fraction of that energy is lost. Some type of supercap might be indicated.
batteries might be designed for 2C-5C charging, supercaps failed so far to define their business model in transport - too bulky, too expensive
A very informative article on hub motors for EVs. I would have liked this article to contain some graphics - Torque speed waveforms and schematics showing how commutation is achieved. Some comparative charts showing the efficiency and range improvement over other similar motors will also add value to this article.
By reading this article my thoughts go back to the VCR 's head drum direct drive and capstan direct drive motors. The same design in a small size and lower power it was working there. But here this motor has to meet many more things as shock proof, water proof,dust proof,heat proof and carry atleast two times more than the specified weight.
This seems awfully naive(full blame is on EET editors for accepting the piece), almost like it was written by a high school kid, and there's nothing novel or "nifty" about it for all you guys caught agasp in the comments section - do the math on the cost of a printed circuit motor with enough layers to be both mechanically and electromagnetically sound, appropriate layup Tg, and copper thickness and you very quickly have a $8000 weak torque motor per axle.
The Maker community have been building axial flux alternators and generators (which is what this is) for well over a decade for wind power and have figured out how to bury windings ECONOMICALLY without the excessive cost of prepregs and laminating presses. Read Hugh Pigot's book if you want reality and cost-effectiveness versus fantasyland equation based nonsense.
The issue of flux saturation and reluctance in the air/epoxy gap also is not addressed in this math exercise, which will seriously limit the mag field contribution of the 1 Tesla magnets that are being assumed in force calculations.
To suggest fixing the axle to the frame of the vehicle to "simplify shock absorbers", is extremely naive as well as is the notion that much less than 10cm is a large enough axle stub to support a 1.5 tonne vehicle hitting a pothole...LOL this has the same shaft diameter as a 1/2HP furnace blower motor. Clearly, the author's never designed autmotive drivelines; apparently just a dreamer with a glass of wine and a fireplace and enough engineering knowledge to be reckless.
I would very much like to be a naive high school kid. Unfortunately, I am a retired electronics engineer, with 40 years of background in the industry, acting now as an independent consultant. Almost twenty patents filed. Six presentations at international conferences. One invited paper at ISSCC. My career is behind me.
To be fully honnest, when I tried to patent this concept, I found that this was already done almost twenty years ago. There are at least two naive high school kids dreaming in the world. But, apparently, the other one failed in promoting the concept.
I think, but you can disagree, that it can be very beneficial for the whole industry, and not only the automotive one. For an independent consultant, the automotive industry is too big. I'm more interested in other applications, looking for attractive small niches. But, if I can convince the automotive industry to go in this direction, this should help for developing smaller businesses.
I would enjoy replying to technical questions. In your comment, I can't see any requesting an answer. Please, consider the concept, and not the implementation details.
Thats kinda scarey, just anyone that knows enough to be dangerous can post all this with the editor of EE times to go ahead and let it happen. I guess thats the downside of this kind of forum. The good side is that someone like roldan speaks up to reprove it, but is he right?
I think you are getting confused between cm and mm. A 10cm(100mm) axil will, depending on what it is made from will easily hand up to 5 x 1.5 tons. I've lifted components up to 30 tons on pins that thick.
And, as any HIGH SCHOOL kid can tell you, it's 1/2 m*v*v for energy, which is VERY significant energy as anyone who's hit a wall at 50km/h can tell you....you don't dump it into a resistor, especially for a vehicle carrying limited stored energy on board to start with...streetcars used to do that one 75 years ago to heat the cabin. We are supposed to be cooling the planet, not heating it with printed circuit motor braking systems or failing to recycle it for later use in moving the vehicle.
Has anyone done the math for the commutation "switches" in this wundermotor? For a 20A "starting torque" you are dissipating 400*5.6 or 2.25kW PER MOTOR, or 10kW of power in the switches for 4WD. Now add in your winding resistance. It gets a lot worse when you are using the 'sports car' 30A example that was calculated in a prior page - almost DOUBLE. The Chevy Volt only carries 16kW of batteries....
Thanks for the laughs - can't wait to see part deux. A new low, EET; a new low.
Please add some outlook to your criticism:
What about SRM?
Why is the mass per weight so bad with current electric motors?
Please allow for some innovation - even in early stage- My guess is that electric mobility will fail with current low RPM motor designs.
0.5mm looks like about 14 oz copper. My VERY limited experience with making coils out of PC boards was with 4 oz copper, and even that was a lot more expensive than making it the usual way. So, what is the attracttion for using PC stock?
BOY Dela Pena
The design looks very good and will have some other usage, The main thing is how much it will cost and how you can have more detailed information.
Thank you,
Godofredo Dela Pena
Two years ago "EE Times" reported that "Daimler bus combines hub motors, fuel cells" (http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4197774/Daimler-bus-combines-hub-motors-fuel-cells) so it would appear that the deployment problems for hub motors are not insurmountable. It sounds like one challenge will relate to car handling characteristics having additional mass that will be moving with the wheels (rather than the vehicle body). This is probably less of an issue for a bus. Another design issue will be to ensure that the hub mounted motors are designed to tolerate exposure to the elements near the wheels rather than being protected in the engine compartment.
Readers are directed to two sites:
It doesn't look like Exro weathered the recession very well since I haven't seen anything from them lately, but my original analysis of their approach/patent (switched coils to change torque characteristics) led me to believe that the engineering was sound. Likewise for LaunchPoint.
Has anyone heard of BionX, www.bionx.ca? They make hub motors used in boost systems for bicycles and velomobiles. Their systems go up to 500 watts and are priced around $2,000 with a control system using regenerative braking, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSFE151tRdM. Is the system described here better or cheaper than the BionX system?
I want to mass produce velomobiles with boost systems controlled by I-pads, and could use the help of some smart guys like you.
The problem is in all the IR and reactive losses of the matrix wiring and switches, and there cost
The switches need to be able to handle both high current in one scenario and high voltage in the other extreem.
So the semiconductors size and cost go throught the roof, add the IR loss gain for needed worst case voltage needed, making this not feasible quickly.

Your "credible sources" are just incredible. Or you get these reports from within your head, for reasons I dont understand being unacqainted with psychiatric science.
But I do ask myself – "WHY?" - Update on SNP meeting
You really have to face the facts.
You are being fed LIES by someone whom you believe is in a position to know the truth about various matters in and around the SNP and the Council.
Either that or these stories come from your fecund imagination.
I only wish I knew who is your "source", if anyone, and more importantly why he (or she)is at it. Perhaps you should ask yourself that question – it might put the "truth" in perspective.
But you, however, should face the facts, 2 out of 3 of your pieces in the last few weeks are based on nothing more than lies or imagination. This is not anything I, or you, would elevate to the standard of journalism.ps And my identity is correct, and actionable by anyone who is prepared to put their version before a jury.
- SNP Constituency Association Convener's email tells a tale
Voxpop:Problem with "local" not "party" councillors is that they appeal for votes on the basis of the "good guy" label. They do not believe it is necessary to have a manifesto, or even the basis of a programme for government, certainly not for change. So they end up as the lobby fodder for someone like Cllr Walsh who knows he wants power, doesnt have to say what he will do with it, and can have the fodder wait to see which way he will jump before they make up what they would think was their opinion, even their minds."Party" representatives are elected on the basis of a manifesto, a promise, to their electorste and are accountable to the voters when they wish to be re-elected. If you havent promised anything (except perhaps to do your best) it is a bit difficult to be held accountable for nothing specific.

Lynda:Since the News of the World has made plain that it is a criminal offence to hack into emails which are guaranteed the privacy of the Royal Mail, and darling Rebeccah is about to find out what that will cost her in time at her Majesty's pleasure, did it never occur to you, or your legal advisors, that in publishing what may, or may not, be a hacked email, you might have been making yourself an accessory after the fact?
One straight factual matter which you could have ascertained by a simple phone call. Mr Ian McCann is no Chief whip to A&B or any other Council group. He is a paid servant of the Party whose job title is Clerk on Governance and Party rules, working for the National Executive Committee of the SNP at Head Office in Edinburgh. Is it too much to expect you to do a little journalistic professional work before exposing your personal biasses as a "story" ?

Samaritan Medical Center will go forward with business as usual while Chief Financial Officer Paul A. Kraeger recovers from a serious bicycle accident, according to hospital spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle.
The accident, which occurred at 2:22 p.m. Thursday, left Mr. Kraeger, 55, with a spinal cord injury, according to state police.
His family keeps updating everyone here, Ms. Kittle said Monday. Hes making progress each and every day. He has a positive attitude about this.
She said that while its too early to tell how long Mr. Kraeger will be out of work, Samaritan must go forward with daily business.
We have been meeting with our leaders today to get our arms around all projects Pauls involved in so we can get those moving forward, Ms. Kittle said. We want Pauls first (priority) to be getting better while we have things moving here.
According to state police, Mr. Kraeger was right of the white line on the side of the road Thursday afternoon as he was riding southwest on Route 3 near Black River. With earphones in and looking down, he ran into the back of a parked FedEx truck.
He was taken by helicopter to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse.
Earlier reports stated that the accident occurred at 2:22 a.m. because the time was erroneously given by police.
Doretta S. Royer, spokeswoman for the hospital, said Monday that Mr. Kraeger was listed in serious condition.
Ms. Kittle said Samaritan CEO Thomas H. Carman visited Mr. Kraeger at the hospital and reported that Mr. Kraegers spirits are wonderful.
Mr. Kraeger is also president of the North Country Childrens Clinic board of directors. Should any matter need attention with the agency, board Vice President Margaret Sorensen will step in.
Times staff writer Brian Kelly contributed to this report.

Archives > Lewisville Leader > News
Lewisville resident details road to nonprofit
Jennifer Garza, special to The Leader
Attentively adding 3 � teaspoons of vanilla into her mixing bowl, she makes a delicious wedding cake worth $700. Danese Griffith whips her icing into the perfect lather.
Griffith's latest wedding cake order is a four-tiered, 35-pound cake and costs $650. She's not looking to create any average cake. Spending up to 25 hours on one cake displays Griffith's commitment to making the cakes not only ecstatically pleasing but also remarkably tasting.
Houston-bound for the weekend to assemble her creation, the 34-year-old is poise and confidant as she discusses the exact ingredients needed to create the perfect wedding cake.
Speaking with her eyes, Griffith tells her story with enthusiasm and never fails to break eye contact. Wearing a modest light-brown shirt with her straight, brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, Griffith quickly becomes the down-to-earth best friend you may recall meeting back in middle school.
Griffith was born to a middle-class family in Longview. Although a Lewisville native at heart, Griffith spent her first five years of life in the piney woods of East Texas with her stay-at-home mother, cable splicer father and two siblings before her father was relocated to Lewisville for work.
As the middle child, she finds herself smack-dab in the middle of her older brother, Wade, who is three years older than she, and her younger sister, Amanda, who is three years younger than she. Griffith quickly identified herself as the "good-kid" and the "good-student."
"My brother was a big sports guy," Griffith said. "And my sister was fun and had a lot of friends."
Wade is currently living in a nearby city with his own family in Little Elm, while her younger sister resides in East Texas near her mother.
Her father, Danny Tarbet, passed away in 2001 from a heart attack while he was at work. He was 54 years old.
"I was devastated," Griffith said with a distraught look on her face. "I was supposed to see him the next day for Christmas."
She hadn't seen her father four to five months before he passed away. She did not get to say her goodbyes. Despite the sudden loss of her father, Griffith pulled through the heartache she endured in those times. Although life weighed her down she didn't give up. She is a fighter. The hardships of life will not get this pious woman down.
Griffith is happily married to Clint Griffith. The two fell for one another at the Landmark Evangelism Center church where Griffith served as the Sunday school director, and he served as a church usher.
"He just felt like home," she recalls the courting stage of their relationship. "He was so funny and we had great conversations. He became my best friend."
Engaged after five months of dating, the two eloped on Jan. 1, 2009. They reside in Lewisville, in a two-bedroom apartment.
"She is an amazing person," Clint Griffith said with a deep rugged voice. "She's a talented, gifted, loving, wonderful wife. She is the most selfless person I've ever met."
The two are currently planning to start a family of their own.
Griffith graduated from Landmark Christian Academy in 1996 and planned on attending college. However, it was not going to be a piece of cake. Griffith faced the dilemma of not qualifying for financial aid because of her father's high income. Her parents, looking out for their daughter's financial future, did not want her taking out student loans, so the only option she had was to work for a few years and pay for college all by herself.
Then came another roadblock. Griffith was going to provide for herself with no help from her family or the government. This setback did not stop Griffith from obtaining her goals. She set her mind on being successful in whatever she pursued. Her perseverance opened up a number of opportunities she was yet to discover.
Griffith found work at a local florist shop called The Village Florist to save up for her schooling. For three years she learned the tricks of the trade and became an expert at setting up flower arrangements for special occasions, such as weddings.
She didn't know that her minor florist position at a small shop in Lewisville would open up tasty opportunities for her future.
"It all started when my friend Bethany was getting married," Griffith said. "She asked me to do her flowers for her wedding."
Griffith's niche for flower arrangements later blossomed into experimenting with creating wedding cakes.
On average she creates three to four cakes a month. She drives the majority of her business from her website that includes other services she offers such as creating cupcakes, cookies, candy and
event invitations. She also has a Facebook page where fans can see her different services creations.
"If I had to create cakes every single day, I don't think I would enjoy it very much," Griffith said.
She loves the freedom of being able to decline a request if she is simply not up to the task.
In 2000, shortly after leaving the florist shop, Griffith found work as a teacher at her alma mater. She received her teaching certificate from the school and taught third through eighth grades for all subjects. Spending 10 years teaching, she found herself passionate about investing in young children's lives.
"I had a lot of time to build strong relationships with these kids," Griffith said. "A lot of my old students are still a part of my life today."
Tiffany Finch, 22, an active Operation Peace of Mind volunteer recalls her childhood years in Griffith's class from third through seventh grade.
"She is a determined, responsible, great people person," Finch said. "She has such a knack for planning and presenting."
The two are still very close to one another and enjoy being actively involved in the nonprofit organization.
During this time, Griffith developed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which she holds high in her list of priorities.
She became an active member of her church and began speaking to God through prayer on a daily basis.
Although she adored teaching she wanted to take her life in another direction. She prayed that God would open up other opportunities. Her main requests in a new job were that she could work with children and be in a Christian environment.
Her future was uncertain, yet her trust and faith was in God. After informing her students' parents about her departure, she was informed by a student's parent of a nonprofit he was planning to begin.
Having no nonprofit background, Griffith felt under-qualified for such a position. The founder of the nonprofit informed her that he was interested in employees who were passionate.
Going in to her final year of teaching at Landmark Christian Academy, Griffith began working part-time at Operation Peace of Mind as the program director. She held this position until 2010. She was promoted to interim executive director. Within a year she received her current title, executive director.
"Everyday I get to do what I love," Griffith said. "I get to teach the youth how to be leaders, how to avoid crime, how to protect themselves from bullying, and I get to teach girls self-esteem and confidence: girl power."
As she wraps up her telling her story, she begins the process of creating one of her wedding cakes. All her cake ingredients are strategically placed on the counter table. She has just taken the first step to creating her wedding cake: mixing the icing.
"It's funny how plans change," she said. "God has a bigger plan and we just have to let Him be the baker."

Saving Great Animals has been working tirelessly as a no-kill, foster-based rescue for the last 9 years. We also are connected to a wide network of foster homes and numerous shelters around the state to find permanent homes for animals that are deserving of love and a family. Many of the dogs and cats we rescue would otherwise face unecessary euthanization.
We also work hard to bring dogs and cats into SGA directly from their former home so they animals will never enter the shelter system which has environments that can be very stressful for them, even though we know so many shelter workers who are tireless too in helping the animals.
A very small percentage of our dogs come to us from our sister-shelter in Taiwan, where these dogs are typically rescued from deplorable circumstances.
All of our pets available for foster or adoption also are listed on PetFinder at (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/WA418.html).
To contact SGA directly, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are interested in fostering or volunteering, we want to hear from you! We are finalizing our 501 C-3 status; and do appreciate any and all donations as 100% of our funds, every penny, goes to the animals. We are always extremely tight on funds, frequently dipping into our own pockets. All donations can be paid by paypal by sending to firstname.lastname@example.com
The animals are in various locations and a meet and greet is done on an individual basis. Very fun to do!

Return to News
By Stephanie Tillman, CNM, MSN
Every once in a while, my emotions take over. The daily grind outweighs the beauty of individual interactions, and I (silently, or actually) yell out, "I just want to be a midwife!" Well, guess how that happens? Every midwife first takes the certification exam. There is the rational preparation of studying, practice questions, a good night's sleep, and maintaining one's normal routine the morning of the exam. Perhaps the difference with the certification exam is that for so many, midwifery became the ultimate, the second career long aspired – or maybe it's the absolute certainty of an upcoming long career of beautiful work. This exam feels, emotionally and logistically, like far more of a lifetime event than other exams. Silver lining of this whole thing? Each student midwife has already studied for this exam with each moment caring for women, each birth, each day in class or session with an experienced midwife. The nagging bits are all those facts that just won't stick, the surprises we never learned during school or years of experience, and the knowledge that, despite all our preparation, the first year of practice will command continued learning. The exam is only the beginning of realizing what we don't know. Like with labor and birth, is there comfort in knowing that many before you have travailed, sweated and grunted, ultimately succeeded, and celebrated afterward? During my exam preparation, I discovered volumes of information I did not know. On top of that, the list of "what to study" (also known as the list of "what to know as a midwife") seemed positively inhumane. And yet, midwives somehow tap into that knowledge every day. Despite feeling overwhelmed, each study session began with a mantra: "I will join the ranks. I will be a midwife." So, I started to organize myself. Like a woman in labor, I'm glad my words of comfort are catching y'all early!
My experience with the exam may be helpful to some – I am not too far removed from the experience. But I also checked in with my graduating class and midwives on Facebook and Twitter to find out what others had to say. I assure everyone currently studying that we recent graduates send you oodles of positive vibes, memory cells, and intuition. You can absolutely do this! Below is a list of our collective best advice – the links are mostly to Amazon for ease of ordering, but always check at your local bookstore and with your local midwife counterparts to access their resources!
What did other people say?
Some people also attend the Exam Prep Workshop at the ACNM Annual Meeting, which can be incredibly helpful. Whether you are at the beginning or end of your studying, this workshop can give you structure and strategies to think through questions and answers.
Now, from this list, how the heck would one ever figure out what books to get, where to start studying, and how to make sense of it all? Here's my final pointer: start with what you have. The exam itself is expensive, so check whether the resources you already have are still encouraging your own learning before purchasing new resources. If you need new material and do not already have access to practice questions, consider splitting a shopping list with classmates and rotating books. Never undervalue the notes, PowerPoints, and go-to resources you use on the daily. Get all of the paperwork in order so last-minute tasks won't weigh you down close to exam time, when you'll really be cramming. Check with your academic program to see when your certification letters will be submitted, and the earliest date by which you can take the exam; I recommend taking it as soon as possible after completing your academic program. This capitalizes not only on the freshness of the information in your mind, but also advances the timeline by which you can apply for a job and necessary licenses and begin working as a midwife. Visit the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) website to obtain the full list of requirements before exam time. Take some deep breaths, reach out to graduates of the program before you for advice, and seek solace in knowing that midwives before you have succeeded, and so will you. And if you have exam fatigue one or multiple times, take a walk to the bathroom! Like with labor, find a mantra you can grab on to that focuses on the positive:
I can do this! I know how to care for women and families! I will be a midwife! For all those midwives who have already taken the exam: we'd love to hear your tips! Let us know what worked for you during your exam review process. Leave a comment on this post or the ACNM or Feminist Midwife Facebook pages to give your feedback!

Recipe of the Week: Zucchini Tomato Skillet
If you're like me and have an abundance of zucchini in the garden, here is a simple recipe that you're sure to enjoy.
"The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long." ~Sammy Cahn
Is your summer garden overflowing with zucchini? Yep, mine is too. Every afternoon there is another veggie present for me on the counter. Don't get me wrong, zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables and I love that I get to eat it so often.
However, how many nights can you make sauteed, grilled and fried zucchini before you begin to crave something new? Oh I know I could make loaves of bread too, but it's still a little hot to use the oven. That can wait until next month. I'm sure they'll still be enough zucchini.
I was reading an article in a cooking magazine that advised cooks to "keep it simple.`" The author felt that many people tend to overcomplicate their dishes with too much seasoning or too many components. Sometimes just salt and pepper go a long way. I agree.
I thought I would keep this week's recipe very simple with just a few fresh ingredients blended together in one pan. You'll have a yummy summer side dish that takes about 15 minutes to make and there will only be one pan to wash. (Bonus!) Plus, you'll use up some of that zucchini.
Zucchini and Tomato Saute
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1 1/2-2" pieces
- 2 ripe medium tomatoes, diced (I have also used 1/2 carton of Pomi tomatoes, which are lovely in this dish)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan-Romano cheese
- 5-6 fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried basil)
- salt & pepper to taste
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Sautee zucchini until just beginning to brown.
- Add tomatoes and sautee for about 5 more minutes.
- Add cheese, basil, salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot.
I have made this a few times and have changed it up a bit, depending on what I have in the house. Sauteed sweet onions and garlic are great in this, as is a dash of red pepper flakes.
12:49 pm on Sunday, July 29, 2012
I faced same dilemma--too much zucchini and over ripe tomatoes--and ended up making a similar dish--"Italian Stir-Fry". I sauteed some yellow bell pepper, onion and garlic before adding zucchini & tomatoes. Then, when zucchini was tender-crisp and tomatoes heated through, I tossed in some pasta and olives. Was great right out of the skillet, and just as good next day as a cold pasta salad. Adding a pat of butter sounds great--would add a sweet overtone.

That sounds delicious, Joan! I will have to try it!

Now that the Alabama House has approved Senate changes to the $5.76 billion education budget, it has gone to the governor for his signature. The final budget contains a 2 percent raise for employees and $5 million for a state-funded professional liability program. It also partially restored funding to Other Current Expense (OCE) with a $12 million increase. OCE was cut $18 million in 2012. The budget will add $1.5 million to fleet renewal to reach $6,000 per bus, increase funding to the state's voluntary pre-K program by $9.4 million and increase Advanced Placement by $1.5 million. | More

Next year I'll be in college for game programming. I plan to program for a living, game programming preferred of course but it's not really in demand as opposed to many other types of programming. I could've gone with general computer science or software development, but I prefer game programming more and I figure it's one of the more impressive kinds of programming to do, so I could probably apply what I learned in other fields of computer science as well .
So I'm curious, how has game development been a part of your past and how do you think it'll be a part of your future?

You definitely don't watch the Spurs, Celts, or Lakers then. edited to add; KB is also not allowed to finish 4th quarters apparently.
HUH??? I watch a lot of basketball and good teams ALWAYS substitute in the first quarter. Especially if the talent on the floor and the talent on the bench are similar with different strengths. All good teams and even crappy ones sub in the first quarter. Check out the Lakers, Spurs, Celts and Cavs the next time they are on. They all substitute early to keep the players on the floor fresh and teir rotation options open.
With seeing many games via League pass for the 10 or so years, that's the way I observe it too. Flip burned out our starters the last couple of years playing at least least three of them 10 minutes in the third qtr before giving them blow and the other two would be subbed out at the first time out in the 4th qrt and you know the drill...all of the starters had to be in there in the last five minutes even if we had 15 point lead......we paid for that in round three of each of the past three post seasons..
The Spurs do it exceptionally well. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that no coach in the league utilizes his bench more effectively than Gregg Popovich.
Watching WAS play CLE is the epitome of frustration. They use Blatche and their quickness the way we don't use Amir and ours. They exploited the Cavs interior perfectly and had so many 0 rebounds.
The big difference was where the games were played. Just another road loss as compared to trying to give them only their 2nd loss at home all season.
I don't know. WAS also would have beaten them at home this year w/o Arenas had the refs not stepped in in the last minute.
losses in ECF were results of taking anything for granted. When things went rough, they were not able to respond because of "we are better team anyway".
The longer those series went on, the more of a disadvantage we had. That is either fatigue or it is the coach not being able to match the adjustments of the other coach. The fatigue issue can be b/c we didn't have enough youth in the lineup or because the starters were getting overplayed. We all saw how LB could outcoach others when he was on our sideline. We just happened to be on the other end of it when we had Flip.
I think raxrets is correct. In 04, we were hungry, we were the underdog, and those guys fought hard. Since then, they've been playing with a sense of entitlement. Playoffs were a boring chore they unwillingly had to do before they get to eat their ice-cream. LB's yelling could get them to the brink of doing so. Flip never did it and each year since then we folded to marginally good teams. Back to it being all about me: I could've been wearing a Pistons Pride shirt with 5 banners instead of 3 now if those guys just took their jobs seriously.
The key against the Cavs seems to be to use your young athletic players, crash the boards (esp O), and drive constantly. Their interior defense is really non-existent without Ben. <And i need to stop watching the Cavs lose or this thread will never die LOL>

NORWALK - New law enforcement equipment, including iPads and a license plate reader, might be on the horizon for the city.
The U.S. Justice Department awarded Norwalk more than $45,000 but the City Council must first approve a resolution to accept the funds, according to a city staff report.
The City Council is scheduled to vote on the issue at Tuesday's meeting. Public Safety Director Carols Ramos recommends the City Council accept the funds, the staff report says.
In May, the City received a check for more than $9,000 from a Justice Department fund that recycles proceeds from forfeited property. The funds can be used only by law enforcement agencies to purchase equipment, including cellphones, radios, computers and electronic surveillance items.
The city wants to use the funds to purchase iPad tablets outfitted with the Government 2.0 application. That program allows users to capture, upload and send photos, along with the location, of graffiti, illegally parked vehicles and other nuisance issues.
General funds will not be used to purchase the iPads, but the city will have to pay each device's monthly $37.99 Internet fee and an average $8 monthly management fee, the staff report said.
The report did not specify how many iPads the city wants to purchase.
In April, the Justice Department told the city its application for a $36,435 Justice Assistance Grant had been approved.
The funds are earmarked

There's a lot going in for the Month of the Hunter; here's the big picture and a few tantalizing details of what's new for the #1 ranged damage class.
Fast travel has always been a specialty of the Hunter. Anyone can learn the way home. For the right price, a very fast horse can take you from point A to point B. However, no class but the Hunter has such broad and versatile knowledge of the land of Middle-Earth-or the ability to guide his fellows on their journey.
With the Month of the Hunter, this staple of the Hunter class improves with new and improved skills.
Hunters (and through them, their fellowship members) know the joy of tracking to find just the target you want. New improvements to the experience of tracking give the Hunter more information about their quarry... and even allow them to share that information more readily with their fellows!
We now display more information on tracked creatures, and you can sort by any column
Monster name has level-relative conning coloration (like you'd see over its head) The challenge level of the monster, such as Normal or Elite, is now displayed The approximate distance at the time of tracking is displayed in a third column
Sharing Tracked Targets
Advanced Hunters can share the location and name of their tracked targets with other members of their fellowship on their mini-maps
"Passage of Nature" can now track Dragon-kind
Now, find your worms, salamanders, and drakes... in addition to beasts, insects, and creatures of nature!
"Passage of Foes" can now track Giants
They may not be as evil or mean as Orcs, but they can still be trouble.... Oh, and they leave really big tracks!
Traps, Oils, and Bow Chants
Ever resourceful, the Hunter can make use of many different tools wrought by the hands of skillful craftsmen. Improvements and new additions to the line up of consumable items allow the Hunter to push harder and focus their skills.
The duration of Fire and Light Oils has increased dramatically
The shortest duration oil now lasts for 5 minutes (yes, minutes!) not 10 seconds Oils will now last for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, up to 15 minutes at the highest tier
The clever Weaponsmiths of the world have devised new kinds of traps
The Quick Trap drops without any induction The Strong Trap doesn't trap as long, but it isn't broken by damage The Lure Trap draws the aggro of animals until the trap is destroyed The Tripwire gives you a chance to open a Fellowship Maneuver on a target (it won't do it every time, and it will only be usable out of combat)
Lower tier traps have always had a higher chance of being resisted by monster of higher levels, the new tiers give you a better chance of success against higher level monsters
A new kind of Hunter-only consumable item crafted by Scholars: Bow Chants
5 new items which empower your ranged weapon in different ways-pick the right Chant for the right job!
Foe-finder - Reduced chance for targets to evade bow skills
Shield-bane - Reduced chance for targets to block bow skills
Breach-finder - Bypass some of target's damage mitigation
Wind-rider - Reduced power cost of bow skills
Whisper-draw - Reduced threat generated by bow skills
These buffs last for 20 minutes so each one goes a long way
Bows and Crossbows
Long has the debate raged over which implement was the superior weapon. With the Month of the Hunter's changes, we have decided to make the crossbow a weapon with consistent damage and the bow one with more variability but with the possibility of bigger numbers.
What does this mean in game terms?
Bows have a greater variance in damage: the highs are higher, the lows are lower Conversely, crossbows have a narrower variance
Bows now exist at both extremes of speed, both the fastest and slowest ranged weapons are bows Conversely, crossbows have a narrower range of speeds
The biggest damage numbers will come from bows rather than crossbows-call it the power of the archer's art. However, if random number generators hate you, the crossbow limits your lows as much as it does your highs.
If you want the fastest possible weapon, or the slowest possible weapon-both will now be bows. This represents that bows may be fired very fast, or that you can take your time. Crossbows are simple to use but are less flexible, and therefore have speeds more toward the middle range of bows.
Ultimately, you may find the special properties of a particular weapon out weighs preferences you may have for speed or damage variance. Then again, maybe you'll steer clear of one or the other because of personal preference.
New Skills
As mentioned above, the Hunter is getting a bunch of new travel skills:
Return to Camp - Travel with your fellowship to your current campsite bind point
Guide to Michel Delving - Instant fellowship travel to Michel Delving in the Shire
Guide to Ost Guruth - Instant fellowship travel to Ost Guruth in the Lonelands
Guide to Evendim - Instant fellowship travel to Evendim
Guide to West Angmar - Instant fellowship travel to a safe haven in Western Angmar
Guide to East Angmar - Instant fellowship travel to the Eastern reaches of Angmar
In addition to the travel-skills mentioned above, we've made new combat-oriented skills:
Heart Seeker - A large damage, long cooldown, long induction "mega-nuke" attack
Strength of the Earth - An In-Combat Power Regen Channelling Skill
Set Snare - A new "free" trap skill which slows and applies sizable damage over time
Tweaks and Changes
We also made a number of smaller changes to existing skills, traits, and more:
Lowered the level where Hunters acquire the Dual-Wield trait (from 20 to 15)
Increased power restored by Intent Concentration when the relevant Trait is slotted
Increased the duration of the Beneath Notice skill when the relevant Trait is slotted
Trait "Rapid Recovery" grants a greater reduction time to your recovery (from 1.2s to 2s).
Normalized the "Focus" point costs of skills, Rain of Arrows went from 4 to 3, Merciful Shot went from 5 to 6
Reduced the frequency that the "Enduring Precision" trait allows you to gain Focus pips from one every 5 seconds to one every 10 seconds
Some traveling skills now require more rations than others. Traveling to Angmar is a more perilous and taxing journey than visiting the Shire!
Updated category listings in the Auction House to put "Oils and Chants" in a category under class items, also moved the "Traps" category under the class items group
Placing a crafted trap whose effect breaks on damage will now disable the Hunter's auto-attack to help avoid freeing newly trapped targets!

Bi-District Conversation With AHS's Steve Warren
By: David Robinett
Updated: November 13, 2012
David said, Coach Warren, you guys finished off the regular season 10-0 by beating Abilene High the other night. It got a little exciting at the end, but the start of the that game, you guys really came out and executed incredibly well."
Coach Warren said, "We did. The 1st haf of the game in all 3 phases of the game, we were clicking pretty well, and to start the 2nd half, the same m/o and got up 28-0 and felt pretty good about it. It got pretty rough there at the end, but we'll get some of that stuff cleaned up those things ready to go."
David said, "You guys have finished 10-0. You are getting ready for the playoffs. Tell me is different about playoff football from district football."
Coach Warren said, "New intensity. We call it our 3rd season. Things change. There is such a finality to every game. Somebodies going to put their stuff up after Saturday, and we don't want it to be us. Everything we do in practice, David, has to be done will a little bit more intense preparation, a little bit more "want to", and a little bit more drive."
David said, "I saw an interesting stat over the weekend. Only 15 Class 5A teams are 10-0. How special is that for a team and for a coach."
Coach Warren said, "Well, it's exciting that our players were able to accomplish that. Every Friday night we line up, we get everybody's best shot. They come after us with guns blazin'. A lot of these guys, it will make their season just to beat Abilene High. We hear that all the time. They point toward our game in the offseason. For us to play 10 different teams, 10 different offenses and defenses, giving us their best shot and to win everyone of them is something that I am really, really proud of for our program."
The 10th ranked Eagles meet El Paso Montwood for the bi-district championship on Saturday in Odessa. Abilene High is 10 and oh. Montwood is 8 and 2. Their game starts at 1.

Demo Day. With so many people watching HGTV, the DIY Network and reading so many DIY blogs (see my friends page) Demo has become the "FUN" time of a project. And let me tell you it is fun, but you also need to be careful.
If you are not careful you can have a broken water or sewer pipe. Worse yet you could electrocute yourself if you are working with any sort of power. Make sure to look before you break and take the proper safety precautions.
The first thing I did was take down the old vanity. I started by uninstalling my faucet, and then taking out the old vanity.
On a side note, I love my multi-tool! I purchased mine here.
Now that I was not worried about any water issues, I was free to remove the vanity. I started by cutting off the old caulking from the wall.
Next you have to remove the screws that hold it into the wall.
Make sure to be careful when taking it away from the wall. If you have a screw, adhesive, or pipe that is caught you can have a mess on your hand!
If you do not install a new sink right away, be careful. The trap that I removed kept the gasses from coming into the house.
Next on the demo list is the radiator cover. From years of being in a bathroom it had started to rust. Instead of buying a new cover, I wanted to refinish it. As my house is less than 10 years old I had not worry of lead paint. Always be careful when dealing with paint.
As you can see the washer and dryer look nice, but do not line up.
One of the things I wanted to eliminate in this project was excess dryer hose. As it crinkled and the edges caught lint.
The shelving was easy to remove, just lift out of the brackets, remove the wall anchors and done!
Now that everything is out of the wall, time to sand down the holes. As I did not have too many bumps I used my handy drywall sander to reduce the ridges.
I also had a few issues with drywall screws bulging out of the wall. As the house settles some of the screws budged out, making small circles that I could see. As this was the time to fix them I did.
Here is how:
- Find the bump, and with a screwdriver push in the center of the hole. This will crack the plaster covering.
- Take a small flat head screwdriver and clean out the slots. This will give you something to grab into.
- Take your Phillips head driver and hand tighten to the proper depth. Like all drywall, do not break the paper.
- Plaster over it like a normal patch.
Then I went around and patched the rest of the walls. To do a good job I did two coats of Spackle, sanding after each coat.
Now that everything is out. I'm done with my demo day. It might not look like a lot, but it was tiring!
There is still a lot more to do, so stay tuned for the next article.

Google Maps for iPhone 1.1 update brings contact integration, points of interest
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Navigation, App Updates, Google, Free Apps
Google has released an update for Google Maps for iPhone, adding new search icons to make it easier and faster to find points of interest, as well as integration with your Google Contacts, which makes it easier to find friends. The search icons include things like restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and other typical POIs. The way the contacts work is, if you have your friends address saved, then you can search for their name and have their address pop up on the map--it isn't meant to find your friends by location in real-time. You can download Google Maps for iPhone 1.1 now in the App Store.

Google Maps now available for iPhone
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Navigation, New Apps, Google, Free Apps
Google has finally reincarnated its map offering and is free of charge in Apple's App store for your consumption. The app promises features that the fabled old stock maps didn't offer like voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation. It has been said by AllThingsD that Apple chose to do its own mapping solution because Google wouldn't offer that specific feature for iOS. My initial impression of the app is that it is visually appealing, and we are glad to see that Street View is present, along with public transit info. The most important thing is that the new Google Maps is vector-based, so navigating the map should be buttery smooth. Google reps have admitted that it's even better than maps for Android. Here's the run down of the features in the Google Maps reboot:
