Gibbs & Cox: Historic Ship Designer Turns 90
Hindsight, they say is 20/20, and in this regard renowned design house Gibbs & Cox has nine decades in the rear view mirror on which to lean. We recently caught up with Chris Deegan, President and CEO of Gibbs & Cox, celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2019, to discuss the organization's rich history and promising future.When you took the top spot at Gibbs & Cox in 2016, what were your goals for the organization?As a company that designs everything from yachts to work boats to destroyers, I wanted to reassert G&C as the global leader in the naval architecture and marine engineering industry.
Singapore Company Fined for Illegal Scrapping Attempt
A Singapore company has paid a NOK 7 million ($763,000) fine after it was caught trying to illegally export a barge carrier vessel from Norway for scrapping on the beaches in Pakistan, Norwegian authorities said.In 2017, inspectors from the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) detained the Harrier, previously named Tide Carrier, when it suffered an engine failure and started to drift outside Jæren in Rogaland. Wirana Shipping Corporation, a company which buys discarded ships and sells them to scrap yards at beaches in India and Pakistan, was the commercial manager for the voyage and in charge of the ship's route, the purpose of the voyage and its execution.
Tankers Defer Retrofits to Cash in on Record Freight Rates
Tankers that had been scheduled to install emissions-cutting equipment ahead of stricter pollution standards starting in 2020 have deferred their visits to the dry docks to capitalize on an unexpected surge in freight rates, three trade sources said.U.S. sanctions on subsidiaries of vast Chinese shipping fleet Cosco in September sparked a surge in global oil shipping rates as traders scrambled to find non-blacklisted vessels to get their oil to market.The rates for chartering a supertanker from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Singapore hit record highs of more than $17 million and a record $22 million to China earlier this week.By comparison, prior to the sanctions, shipping crude from the U.S.
Fincantieri Fits New Midsection in Star Breeze
The most complex cruise ship lengthening ever undertaken is clipping along at Fincantieri's Palermo yard.The final welding cut to Windstar Cruises' Star Breeze was completed and the ship's 25.6-meter/84-foot prefabricated midsection was glided into place between the two halves in the drydock, an operation that took just half an hour.Overnight, Shipyard crews at Fincantieri Palermo had carefully split the ship, pulling the 4,000-ton bow forward centimeter by centimeter while a new 25.6-meter midsection waited on shiny black rollers at the far end of the 370-meter pit.

Internal friction within the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project led to the departure of Walter Bender—the project's former president of software—earlier this year. He launched Sugar Labs, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and encouraging adoption of the Sugar environment, an interactive software platform that was originally designed by OLPC to implement constructivist education philosophies.
The GNOME foundation announced today that Sugar Labs has become its latest member and that Bender will become an active participant in the GNOME advisory board. Sugar leverages many technologies from the GNOME stack, including the GTK+ widget toolkit and the Telepathy messaging framework. Large parts of the Sugar user interface were developed in the Python programming language with the GTK+ bindings. Sugar is packaged for several distributions, including Fedora and Ubuntu, and is distributed under the GNU's General Public License (GPL).
"Sugar embodies the GNOME mission of making sure technology is available to anyone, not just technical people, regardless of culture, financial well-being or physical ability," said GNOME Foundation executive director Stormy Peters in a statement. "The interface provided by Sugar offers an innovative way to interact with technology and the internet. This work is heavily influencing the GNOME community as they think about potential ways to improve GNOME in the future."
In addition to some creative and experimental interaction concepts, the Sugar platform also offers some unique tools to introduce children to computer programming, such as an interactive Python learning environment called Pippy. Sugar has some potential value outside of the OLPC project and it could be a powerful tool in classrooms. Sugar Labs has also been informal talks with some hardware vendors, so it's possible that we could see Sugar preinstalled on some Linux-based netbooks in the future.
It seems like Sugar Labs is driving development forward in a more positive way now that the project has detached itself a bit from the baggage of OLPC's weak leadership and lack of direction. Closer collaboration between the GNOME and Sugar communities could give Sugar a bit of a boost and help it fulfill its potential.

Full Item Description
Assorted gold and silver jewelry with necklaces and rings being the most common, since it is pretty easy to lose one earring and they should be had in pairs.
It is customary in almost every society for the bodies of the dead to be laid to rest with some sort of offering. while some may take it to the extreme, with massive temple-tombs and hosts of ritually sacrificed slaves to the austere bundle of flowers laid on a stone cairn. Coins my be laid over eyes as passage to the blessed afterlife, while in other cultures the dead are decked out in their finest clothes and their finest, non-heirloom jewelry. Rings adorn cold fingers and lockets are placed between still breasts. All of this is done with respect and reverence, with love and remorse.
Then some a-hole with a sword and a torch comes along and muchs things up. Snatching the jewels and breaking brittle dry fingers to steal rings.This ranges from honest to goodness graverobbery to inconsiderate looting by PCs.
I hack the zombie and take the gold and XP.
Except that the gold was the zombie's wedding band worn for a decade after his wife died. Tch tch tch. Bad form.
Magic/Cursed Properties
While the anger and rage of the dead is powerful, if it was as powerful as cursed and haunted items demonstrate the living would cower in fear of the wrath of the dead. It takes a massive amount of ego on the part of the deceased, and a massive amount of desecration on the part of the living to create the powerful relics of undeath. These are the less powerful, or possibly the least powerful and the most common.
The grave goods of the dead carry with them the ill will and malice of the desecrated. The gold coins carry a stigma. The bearer might be more likely to get mugged violently, or may find himself or herself coming down with mild but constantly irritating illness. Dreams could be made unpleasant or into sweaty nightmares, depending on the callousness of the acts involved. (Degree of desecration)
Last but not least, the who are privvy to the worlds of the dead, such as funeral priests, necromancers and such will recognize cursed grave goods as such. A nosy priest could certainly cause a PC party some trouble if they are turned into the authority as grave robbers.
Plot Hooks
Temptation of the Gold - The PCs are given a basic morality test and have to deal with the consequences. They are offered a chance to loot a nice tomb, laiden with several valuable pieces of silver and gold. Certainly enough to buy up to the next character level, purchase magic item X, or whatever else their munchkin dreams desire. Their gains demonstrate themselves to be ill-gotten, and the PCs are afflicted by bad luck.
Thieves! Thieves! - After a tough battle with some undead, the PCs are accosted by locals who want to know why the PCs have some of the treasure that was buried with poor insert famous local dead guy. They will demand that the PCs return what they have stolen, or else.

- Boxing news
Golden Boy eyes British Olympians
The heroics of Britain's Olympic boxers at the London 2012 Olympics have prompted Golden Boy to pursue a licence to promote fights in the UK.
Team GB topped the boxing medal table at the Olympics with three golds, one silver and a bronze as Nicola Adams' pioneering achievement as the first female Olympic boxing champion was followed by victories for super-heavyweight Anthony Joshua and bantamweight Luke Campbell.
The buzz generated by the British boxers within the ExCeL has impressed Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer, whose clients include former Olympic silver-medallist Amir Khan.
And Schaefer is convinced the likes of Joshua and Campbell, as well as welterweight silver medallist Freddie Evans and middleweight bronze medallist Anthony Ogogo, would benefit from his personal input should Golden Boy begin staging fights in the UK.
"We want to sign up some of those fighters who represented Britain at the Olympics," Schaefer told the Times. "It would not necessarily be those who won medals and we want those fighters with the right talent and charisma.
"I will be spending a lot of time in the UK and I would personally take these fighters under my wing and nurture them, which is something I have not done before.
"The idea will be to showcase them here in the US as well and we would put on four fights a year in the UK with them and four in the US. We would hope to stage our first show in the UK in the second quarter of 2013."

Subscribe To Activision Was Crazy For Letting Sleeping Dogs Go, Says Square-Enix Updates
I've already subscribed
Square-Enix' president and chief executive for the U.S. branch of the Square-Enix enterprise talked a lot about the direction of the Japanese company and how they're trying to fit in with westernizing a lot of their properties. When explaining how they added Sleeping Dogs to their publishing cache, he basically says Activision was crazy for letting it go.
Speaking with Dean Takahashi from VentureBeat, chief executive Mike Fischer had a lot of praise to pour over United Front Games' upcoming open-world crime drama, Sleeping Dogs, saying...
All I know is, they've gotta be crazy. Because this game is just fantastic. The scale and scope of the game really encompasses all of everything you'd want to do in Hong Kong. The acting, the story, the characters are very deep.
We recently posted up a new trailer for the game, and it does look like it provides a lot of guilty-pleasure fun. I mean, it's not like we're looking at a game that's going to shift 20 million SKUs, but it does look like a really enjoyable, mid-tiered open-world action title, something that has been sorely lacking this gen.
As for why Activision abandoned the game...they explained that it was taking too long and costing them too much. I was a little perplexed at it all considering that the game is due out this August and Activision couldn't have waited just one more year to get it out? Really?
It's also funny because Activision was behind the recent Battleship movie-game tie-in, which according to Forbes, absolutely flopped in retail alongside the big-budget disaster piece playing in theatres.
Fischer went on to say that the game still needs a strong marketing and word-of-mouth campaign, hence why it's releasing in August instead of the crowded holiday crunch...
The thrill that I love in bringing out a game like Sleeping Dogs is when nobody sees it coming. And then, boom, it's the surprise of the holiday. The game's coming out early in the year, so it has time to find its audience. We're in a world where everything's about social media, word of mouth. And yet you still see marketing presentations that are built around how big your TV campaign is. And again, it's not an either/or. You have to have both components.
There is a ton of useful info in the entire interview, including how Square approaches content releases, not necessarily relying on safe-as-a-chastity-belt rehashes or game-outings, but aiming to provide good products to consumers at the end of the day. We'll see how well that all comes together with Sleeping Dogs this August and Hitman: Absolution to follow shortly thereafter.
You can check out more on what Mike had to say in the complete GamesBeat interview.

Yes, we know Wimbledon started yesterday. Did you? Honestly — did you? It doesn't get really interesting until Thursday, anyway, so, shhh. Here's Deadspin's tennis correspondent, the deuce-dropper himself, Dylan Stableford, to let you know what is the what.
Why, hello, tennis fans! And welcome to the 2010 Deadspin Wimbledon Preview. Sure, there are plenty of compelling storylines that will unfurl over the next two weeks, but only a rarefied few discerning Deadspin readers really care about. Here's a rough guide to the funky fortnight:
Will Venus Williams wear lingerie and/or skin-colored panties?
Answer: Lingerie? Not likely. After causing an international incident at the French Open with her naughty maid outfit (CBS News' headline: "Venus Williams' French Open Outfit: Is She Naked? (Pictures)") she said she would retire the garb, but not before complementing her parents genes for giving her a bodacious backside. "The design has nothing to do with the rear," she said after losing in Paris. "It just so happens that I have a very well developed one. It's all genetic." Venus added: "That was never the objective. It's really about the illusion. Like you can wear lace, but what's the point of wearing lace when there's just black under. The illusion of just having bare skin is definitely for me a lot more beautiful. Lace has never been done before in tennis, and I've been wanting to do it for a long time."
What's up with that chick who got breast reduction surgery? Is she playing?
Oh you mean Simona Halep, the 18-year-old Romanian who disappointed legions of teen boys during their important self-discovery years by reducing her cup size to 34C from an unwieldy 34DD. Halep lost in the first round to Samantha Stosur in Paris, and sadly she won't have the opportunity to bounce back at the All England Club.
Will Nadal lose on purpose just so he can watch the World Cup?
Believe it or not, this is a legitimate question being bandied about by tennis fans and media — and that was before the All England Club said it would not allow any World Cup matches to be shown on the grounds. Top-seeded Roger Federer "joked that he would install a TV screen on Centre Court so he can watch Switzerland's soccer team play in the World Cup during his first-round match." (Federer was so concerned about Switzerland's Group H match with Chile that he almost lost to 65th-ranked Alejandro Falla in a five-set first rounder Monday.) But Nadal's love for soccer is borderline fanatical. His uncle played professional soccer. And when Switzerland beat Spain, Nadal made a point to find Federer so he could "congratulate him for the football." And "at exactly the time a certain soccer tournament was getting under way in South Africa, Rafael Nadal faced the first of two match points" in his third round loss to Feliciano Lopez at the Queen's Club in London.
The All England Club banned those, too. (Yet Victoria Azarenka's shrieking is somehow allowed to continue.)
Will we get another epic men's final?
Considering the last two finals have been among the top 5 or 10 matches in the history of the sport, it would seem unlikely. But the prospect of another Federer-Nadal final (the tennis equivalent of Team Edward-Team Jacob) is always compelling. After his first round match with Kei Nishikori – a player most notable for being sponsored by Cup O' Noodles — Nadal has an exceedingly tough draw, with beatable but dangerous names like James Blake, John Isner in the early rounds, and Robin Soderling, Andy Murray and Fernando Verdasco all on his side of the draw. The toughest test Federer would face is a rematch with Roddick or Novak Djokovic in the semis.
Does Andy Murray have a shot? And should we care?
Same question is asked every year. And every year Murray manages to disappoint. And he hasn't done much to make anyone think any differently, save for getting his girlfriend back after she apparently ditched him over his video game addiction. Even Scots are getting tired of him. Not only that, this is the first time in Wimbledon's 133-year history that not one English men's singles player is in the main draw. You can bet Britain's 74-year Cubs-like record for futility is intact.
How about the dude that choked his opponent? Is he in?
Oh, that wacky Austrian Stefan Koubek! Yeah, he faces Jarkko Nieminen – which kind of sounds like a hockey goon — in the first round. Fingers crossed!
What about Roddick?
There's been a lot of talk about the respect and goodwill Andy Roddick accrued in losing to Federer 16-14 in the fifth last year. To even reach the men's final, he'd have to face down Federer – who he's 2-19 against lifetime — in the semifinals. Despite titles in Indian Wells and Miami, Roddick has been in something of a slump. And judging from her Twitter feed, his wife, Brooklyn Decker, has been slumping, too: "My flip flop just slipped on a wet patch... A trash can broke my fall... My purse flew into it and my arm followed. Gross."
Is it over for Sharapova and Ivanovic?
No, and probably. Despite losing to Justine Henin in Paris, Sharapova has played well this spring, showing signs that her surgically-repaired shoulder no longer affects her strokes. Plus, she prefers the hard trim of Wimbledon. That said, she would likely face fellow-Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Daniela Hantuchova in the third round and defending champion Serena Williams in the fourth round. Ivanovic, on the other hand, has shown little of the talent and none of the mental toughness her buttery-skin once held. She won't even be favored in her first round match against Israel's Shahar Peer.
Will she at least be allowed to curtsy to the royal box?
Why yes, yes she will.

Formed: 1893
Nickname: Die Roten (The Reds)
UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets)
• UEFA Cup: (1989)
• UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: (1998)
• UEFA Intertoto Cup: 2000, 2002, 2008
Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets)
League title: 5 (2007)
German Cup: 3 (1997)
• First established in 1893, Stuttgart underwent a significant early evolution in 1912 when they merged with an outfit from the suburb of Cannstatt and set up permanent base there. A dozen years later they appointed their first professional coach in the form of Englishman Tom Hanney, who led the team to the Baden-Württemberg championship title within two years.
• For success on a national level, Die Roten had to wait until 1950, when they claimed their first German title in front of 96,000 fans in Berlin. An estimated 100,000 supporters then turned out to welcome their heroes back in Stuttgart, and the team repeated the feat in 1952, the decade also yielding two German Cup triumphs.
• Founder members of the Bundesliga in 1963/64, Stuttgart went on to reach the UEFA Cup semi-finals in 1973/74 and 1979/80, either side of a short spell in the second tier. Domestically, they fought their way back from relegation to claim league honours in 1983/84, thanks in part to a young Jürgen Klinsmann.
• Another Bundesliga win followed in 1991/92, three years after Stuttgart had lost out to Diego Maradona's SSC Napoli in the UEFA Cup final. They went on to grace their second European showpiece in 1997/98, although the outcome was the same as they finished runners-up to Chelsea FC in the penultimate edition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
• The rest of Europe was made to take note again when coach Felix Magath led an exciting, youthful side to second spot in the Bundesliga in 2001/02, an achievement that earned them a first UEFA Champions League tilt. Five years later, with Armin Veh at the controls, they put together a superb run of results to secure their fifth championship crown.
Club records
Most appearances: Hermann Ohlicher (459)
Most goals: Karl Allgöwer (165)
Record victory: Stuttgart 8-0 SSV Jahn Regensburg (2. Bundesliga, 13 May 1977)

Recall 13V385000
Potential Loss of Steering
Recall Details
The intermediate shafts connect the steering column to the steering gear. Vehicles in areas where salt is used to de-ice the roads are being recalled because severe corrosion can damage the lower intermediate steering shaft. This can cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and separate at the lower steering column bearing. Separation will result in complete loss of steering ability. Dealers will replace the lower intermediate steering shaft and inspect the upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing for damage, they will be repaired or replaced as necessary. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.
Additionally, Vehicle owners located where salt is not used who have concerns regarding their steering will have a one-time option to have their vehicles inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
Our Quick Take
Corrosion can cause the steering shaft to separate at the lower bearing resulting a in complete loss of steering.
What Should You Do?
Ford will notify owners of recalled vehicles. If don't receive notification and you feel you should, please contact your dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The Ford recall number is 13S08.

Joseph showed remarkable talents as a child and by the age of nine he understood algebra and elementary geometry, as well as being able to speak Latin fluently. Two years later, when he was eleven, he was given permission to attend lectures at the École Polytechnique although he could not officially enter at this time despite having gained the required academic level. He was awarded his first degree at the age sixteen and in following year he was awarded his doctorate for a thesis on thermodynamics. In 1839, the year he received his doctorate, he officially entered the École Polytechnique and also published his first paper on the mathematical theory of electricity. After two years of study there he entered the École des Mines in 1841 being appointed professor of elementary mathematics at the Lycée Saint-Louis in the same year. He held this post at the Lycée until 1848.
A dramatic event happened in 1842. Bertrand and his brother were friendly with the Aclocque family who lived in Versailles. They visited them frequently, travelling by train from Paris. On this particular occasion the train crashed on the return journey and Bertrand was badly injured, suffering a crushed nose and facial scars which he retained throughout his life. Bertrand married Louis Celine Aclocque in 1844; their sons Marcel Alexandre (born 2 July 1847), Joseph Désiré (born 1853) and Léon Gratien (born 1858) all studied at the École Polytechnique, and Marcel went on to become a famous geologist.
In 1843 Bertrand published two memoirs on Surfaces isothermes orthogonale Ⓣ. He was appointed répétiteur d'analyse at the École Polytechnique in 1844, being made professor there in 1856 following the death of François Sturm. He had been appointed professor of special mathematics at the Lycée Henry IV in 1852, also teaching at the École Normale Supérieure. In 1862, he became professor of analysis at the Collège de France, succeeding Biot who died in February of that year. In 1878 Bertrand stopped teaching at the Collège de France but, eight years later, he began teaching there again.
In 1845 Bertrand conjectured that there is at least one prime between n and 2n - 2 for every n > 3. This conjecture, similar to one stated by Euler one hundred years earlier, was proved by Chebyshev in 1850. He made a major contribution to group theory with his article Mémoire sur le nombre de valeurs que peut prendre une fonction quand on y permute les lettres qu'elle renferme Ⓣ which he submitted to the Paris Academy in March 1845. Cauchy was asked to report on the work, which studied subgroups of low index in the symmetric group, and it clearly led him to return to study permutation groups himself. Bertrand's important paper was eventually published in the Journal de l'École Polytechnique.
Famed as an author of textbooks, the first two of many published by Bertrand were Traité d'arithmetique Ⓣ (1849) and Traité élémentaire d'algèbre Ⓣ (1850). These were aimed at pupils at secondary school, although later texts were aimed at students at more advanced levels, for example the two volume work Traité de calcul différentiel et de calcul intégral Ⓣ (1864-70), Thermodynamique Ⓣ (1887), and Leçons sur la théorie mathématique de l'électricité Ⓣ (1890).
Bertrand published many works on differential geometry and on probability theory. He edited an edition of Lagrange's Mécanique analytique which was published in 1853. In 1855 he translated Gauss's work on the theory of errors and the method of least squares into French. He wrote a number of notes on the theory of probability and on the reduction of data from observations. He published these notes starting around 1875 and, after a short break of three years from 1884, he began publishing further notes on probability.
His book Calcul des probabilitiés Ⓣ (1888) contains a paradox on continuous probabilities now known as Bertrand's paradox. It concerns the probability that an arbitrary chord of a circle is longer than a side of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle. The paradox comes about since the word "arbitrary" is not properly defined, see [12]. General comments on this work and Bertrand's other notes on probability are made in [4]:-
- Bertrand mentioned some of his predecessors (De Moivre, Laplace, Bienaymé), but did not refer to other scholars, notably to Chebyshev.
- Bertrand's treatise contains mistakes and misprints. The conditions of many problems are stated carelessly and drawings are completely lacking. Verbal explanations, sometimes given instead of formulas, are irritating.
- The treatise is badly organized.
- Bertrand uses the term 'valeur probable' on a par with 'espérance mathématique'.
- Bertrand's literary style is extremely attractive.
Of course Bertrand lived through a time of political difficulties in France. The revolution of 1830 was followed by a decade marked by repeated challenges to the King. However from 1840 there was a stable period during which Bertrand was able to begin his career. The year 1848, however, saw the overthrow of the monarchy and during this revolution Bertrand served as a Captain in the National Guard. After years of comparative stability, the Franco-Prussian war broke out in July 1870. The French suffered a military disaster and Paris was under siege from the Prussian armies for four months from September 1870. These were extremely difficult times for Bertrand and his family. Following the French defeat the people of Paris formed the Commune of Paris in March 1871. The repression of the Paris Commune took place towards the end of May during a week of street fighting which saw Bertrand's house burned and many of his manuscripts were lost in the fire including an intended third volume of Traité de calcul différentiel et de calcul intégral Ⓣ which he never rewrote. Bertrand also lost his manuscript of Thermodynamique Ⓣ in the fire but he later rewrote the work. With his home destroyed Bertrand moved to Sèvres and later to Viroflay.
In fact Bertrand's home was particularly important to him for it provided the centre of a vigorous intellectual grouping. His family grew to include Émile Picard who married a daughter of Hermite and Bertrand's sister Louise. In 1881 Paul Appell married Amelie, a niece of Bertrand and of Hermite and a cousin of Émile Picard. Let us return to note other effects of the French military defeat of 1870. It led to considerable soul searching in France and, in particular, it was questioned whether science education, particularly the courses at the École Polytechnique, were responsible. Bertrand, by this time one of the leading mathematicians in France, had to deal with the consequences as it was questioned whether the mathematics being taught was too theoretical, and so not preparing the leading young Frenchmen for the military.
Bertrand was appointed a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1856 and he served as its permanent secretary from 1874 to the end of his life. He was made a grand-officier of the Légion d'Honneur.
Struik, in [1], sums up Bertrand's place in the development of mathematics:-
In 1895 his pupils gave him a medal in commemoration of his fifty years of teaching at the École Polytechnique. the influence of Bertrand's work, however, is hardly comparable to that of several of his contemporaries and pupils. Lest it be judged ephemeral, it must be viewed in the context of nineteenth-century Paris and of Bertrand's brilliant academic career, his exalted social position, and the love and respect given him by his pupils.

Parmesan Baked Sweet Potato Fries
This is a sponsored post in partnership with Morningstar Farms.
Mmmm, you're lookin' at one of my all-time favorite indulgences, right there.
LOVE me some sweet potato fries!
I like to think of them as the American (or should I say, French?) equivalent of my beloved Mexican chips and salsa obsession. Why? Well they regularly steal the show from whatever main dish may be gracing my plate. They are the perfect salty and crispy treat, especially paired with a nice cool beverage. And I could easily make a meal just with them if given the opportunity. (Which I've, um, "never" done before…)
Actually, the last meal I made with these sweet potato fries ended up being a wildly delicious, healthier, vegetarian success. I was randomly craving a burger and fries. But being that I don't really eat hamburger and wasn't feeling like a batch of greasy restaurant-style white fries, I decided to whip up a simple alternative at home. I tossed one of my favorite black bean burgers in a sizzling skillet, cut up some sweet potatoes to bake up and tossed them with extra Parm and parsley afterwards, and then cracked open a cold IPA from a brewery just down the street. And it may have actually been one of my favorite burgers and fries night…ever.
Because once again, the sweet potato fries stole the show. :)
I mean, just look at 'em!
Delicious salty and sweet fries, topped with oodles of fresh Parmesan and a little parsley, and baked up to crispy vibrant perfection? I'll vote for those over "regular" fries any day. Plus, with all of the vitamins and nutrients packed into sweet potatoes, you can feel genuinely good about eating them!
Same goes for that beautiful black bean burger there. I blogged this spring about taking the Veg of Allegiance with Morningstar Farms to try and eat at least one more vegetarian meal a week, and I'm still going strong and loving it! Their veggie burgers have always had a spot in my freezer for the days when I need a quick and healthier meal. And for years and years, their classic Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burger has always been a fav, especially when topped with some cheese, avocado and red onions and popped on a whole wheat bun. My kind of burger. :)
But back to these fries…here's how to make 'em!
Begin with some fresh sweet potatoes. You can either peel them or leave the skin on — your choice. But the key is how they are chopped. In order for baked fries to cook evenly, they definitely need to be the same size and thickness. I find that about 1/4-inch thick makes for the perfect balance of crispy-on-the-outside and soft-on-the-inside with these fries, but feel free to experiment.
Then toss them in some vegetable oil (or any high-heat oil), along with some salt and pepper and garlic powder. And if you want to give them a little heat, feel free to toss in a few pinches of cayenne. Then spread them out in an even single layer on a baking sheet, and roast them up to crispy perfection, turning them once or twice during baking so that they cook evenly.
After baking, toss them immediately with some freshly-grated Parmesan and parsley while they are still hot, as well as a little extra salt and pepper if needed.
Then serve them with ketchup or whatever dipping sauce sounds good…
…and this delicious and healthier side is ready to go.
Definitely the perfect meal for a Meatless Monday, or any day that you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional burger and fries. Enjoy!
Parmesan Baked Sweet Potato Fries
These Parmesan Baked Sweet Potato Fries are quick and easy to prepare, made healthier in the oven, and irresistibly good!
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes), peeled if desired
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil (or any high-heat oil)
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
- (optional) 1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Carefully cut the potatoes into 1/4″ thin matchsticks, or to your desired thickness and length. Place potatoes a large bowl, and toss with the oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper and cayenne until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread out the potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-covered baking sheet. (If your baking sheet is small, you may need to use two.)
Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping the fries once or twice during that time so that they cook evenly. (Cooking times will vary based on the size and thickness of your fries.) Remove once the edges slightly begin to brown and fries begin to crisp. Immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and toss briefly to combine. Serve warm.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

I love sweet potato fries, I've never made them with parmesan. These sound (and look) awesome!
Literally let out an audible OMG when I saw this one. One of my favorite fries are of garlic parm variety, and I never thought about doing this with sweet potatoes until now.
Thank you!
Josh | The Kentucky Gent
YUM! Why have I never done this before? hehe
Me gustan mucho tus recetas, son muy nutritivas y fácil de preparar, te felicito
These look yummy!
I love sweet potatoes! Especially baked… :) yummy!
Homemade sweet potato fries are simply the BEST and I'm absolutely loving this parmesan version! Might just have to be a burger and fries night for us tonight :)
I am so excited about this recipe. I have been looking for new ways to dress up our baked sweet potato fries and this is perfect. thank you!
These looked so good! I can't wait to try making them myself.
sweet potato fries are one of my favorite things ever!! Yumm
I have a handful of sweet potatoes staring at me right now that are begging me to transform them into these delicious fries. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
These look AMAZING, Ali!! I bet these would taste fantastic dipped in fresh guacamole. Making ASAP
How would I flip them while they are hot in the oven?
I made these tonight but they didn't get crispy. Followed directions and cooked them longer than 20 minutes. They tasted great though.
made these tonight-SO delish! They did not crisp up as much as I'd hoped in the time I gave them (20 min), so I just turned the broiler on HI & watched em like a hawk & tossed in between, they turned out great! Next time I'll take your advice & toss em in a little more oil & cook em a little longer (I had everything else done and didn't want it all to get cold). Thanks so much for this recipe!
These look wonderful! Any tips for slicing the sweet potatoes without cutting your fingers off? Haha, the only reason I haven't tried these is because they're so hard to cut!
These are so ridiculously pretty!
Have tried them in an air fryer? If so, how long & temp?

What is a Blocked Tear Duct?
What Causes a Blocked Tear Duct?
Who gets a Blocked Tear Duct?
What are the Symptoms of a Blocked Tear Duct?
How is a Blocked Tear Duct Diagnosed?
How is a Blocked Tear Duct Treated?
What are the Complications of a Blocked Tear Duct?
When an obstruction occurs in the duct system which carries tears away from the surface of the eye to the nose, it is called a blocked tear duct or nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
Tears are produced in the lacrimal gland located above the lateral aspect of the eye. These tears are secreted and travel across the cornea, exiting via the superior and inferior puncta (holes) on the inner (medial) corner of the eye. Usually, a small tube called the nasolacriminal duct drains the tears from the surface of the eye into the nose. This duct is usually developed by birth but up to 1% to 5% of the population may have a duct that is incompletely developed or obstructed. The nasolacrimal duct has three valves in it and the majority of nasolacrimal duct obstructions occur at the most distal valve that is located in the nose (Hasner's Valve).
Babies begin to produce tears at two days to two weeks after birth. You may notice excessive tearing from one or both of your infants' eyes during this time. Rarely, adults get a blocked tear duct because of an infection, an injury, or a tumor.
The main symptom of a blocked tear duct is increased or excessive tearing.
A blocked tear duct is diagnosed after a standard eye exam or an internal examination of the nose. If necessary, the drainage of the tears can be tracked by an eye stain.
Nearly half of the cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction will resolve spontaneously by 6 months of age. A pediatric ophthalmologist may need to probe your childs eye between 6 to 12 months of age to help open up the obstruction. In rare circumstances, the probing does not fix the problem completely and a silicone stint may have to be placed in the nasolacrimal duct for 1 to 3 months to help keep the duct open.
In the meantime, your health care provider may choose to prescribe antibiotic drops or ointment if your child has persistent yellow drainage from the eye. Some health care providers recommend a massage technique to try to unblock the duct. Two methods have been recommended. You may place a washed finger between the nose and the inner corner of the eye. Massage downward (inferiorly) in an attempt to push the tears through the nasolacrimal duct via its normal path. Another recommendation calls for a superior motion in the same location, pushing the tears out of the duct. You should do this procedure at every other feeding for a newborn.
A blocked tear duct can cause a significantly higher amount of eye infections resulting in yellow discharge from the eye. These infections can be treated by antibiotic eye drops or ointment.
Rarely, your child may develop a bluish swelling on the skin between the nose and the inner corner of the eye(an amniotecele). Massage may be attempted. However, if the swollen area becomes red and inflamed, you should contact your health care provider immediately for an abscess may be developing which requires IV antibiotics and probing.

Black Screen Question
Subject description: Reading large mounted directory with ROX
First, the PC has Amd Athlon X2 4800 Dual Core processor and 3 gigs of ram.
Running Puppy 431 frugal when I mount my windows NTFS partition and try navigating to deep subdirectories, the screen goes black, but the task bar and menu button stay.
If I then start ROX from the menu, that subdirectory is shown.
But why is the screen blanking out on trying to access deep subdirectories on a mounted drive?
Is it a matter of too many files in the tree for memory to handle?
I am using Xorg with a compiled, against the kernel, Nvidia driver.
The bootlog file says something about the Nvidia driver tainting the kernel also.
This is the error message using dmesg: ROX-Filer[6669]: segfault at 1700000 ip 080a51c9 sp bfa69440 error 4 in ROX-Filer[8048000+6d000]

I doubt that the problem is caused by too many files. I have a NTFS directory with over a thousand subdirectories, each of which contains on average over 200 files. No Puppy (I'm currently using 4.3.1) has ever had any problem opening it, reading anything in it or writing to it.

Try using
to do the job and see if it also has a problem doing this [or NOT].
i.e. Is it only a ROX problem, or does it go further?

It appears it is either a ROX problem or a combination of it and other software I have installed. And I have installed a lot.
My pupsave, according to Puppy Space in desktop widgets, is setting at 2.2 gigs. My swap partition, although mounted, basically remains unused. I will have to try a virgin install of Puppy 431 and see if the problem still shows.
Flash has nearly the same hardware as I do. Although he is running from a DVD. I am running from a second IDE 200 gig hard drive with a 40 gig partition formatted ext2 with a frugal install of Puppy.
FYI XFE does not create a black screen when accessing the deep directories on the NTFS partition on the 1st drive.
Also, when I access that NTFS partition with ROX, I can see the icons for files being drawn as ROX discovers them in the tree.

Well for a test if you have puppy 2 with the gtk1 rox try that...I have made some interesting findings . I would be pointing the finger at gtk2...the source of all bugginess depending on how it got there.
Is it any better with thumbnails disabled?

Thumbnails are disabled in ROX by me. The Partition is 286 gigs with 100 gigs used.
Last time I checked, there were over 3 million files on that partition.
I started by clicking on the hotpup icon to mount it.
I then navigated to Windows and then system32.
Rox in Puppy was still trying to read the contents of the Windows directory when I clicked on the system32 directory.
And there was corruption as to the of the displayed files with overlapping and blank areas.
I have not tried Puppy 2 series yet as I would have to create yet another frugal install to go along with the 12 frugal installs I have now.

You could install the gtk1.2 rox in your current puppy if you really want...
I then navigated to Windows and then system32
I don't know what's special about them, but I have had Rox crash opening one or both of those folders in the past... but I think the way it crashed was that it just disappeared.

Where do we find it? Is there a .pet? ROX is having a problem copying large files to a USB flash memory for me.

wow..well since rox collects substantial amounts of metadata from each file and ntfs would provide plenty of that via the slower user space driver I would say it's falling in a memory entangled heap and that you have hit a limitation there.
If I browse our website with rox via curlftpfs it is painfully slow as is the gtk file browser which does the same (was a big problem with movies on cameras via gphotofs) ...a sync program using find and cp on the other hand was fast.
Horses for courses...when I plug in a 1TB fat32 drive to XP it spends 5 minutes scanning it before it appears in explorer whereas in puppy it is instantaneous.
ps debian gtk2 libs 'do it right'
...but no help here I suspect....no crashing and tablet support..deep joy

In petget select the Puppy 2 repository and it should show up I think... otherwise you might need to manually browse the repository on the ibiblio server.
Depends on the gtk12 and glib12 packages of course.

text: Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc. has introduced the Denali SuperLite travel trailer and mid-profile fifth-wheel series, a lightweight version of its popular Denali towable line designed for towing behind mid-sized pickup trucks. Six of eight Denali SuperLite floorplans feature dry weights of 7,500 pounds or less, according to the company. The Goshen, Ind., Thor subsidiary was able to shave 800 pounds off of comparable units by employing a six-way welded aluminum cage superstructure with lightweight laminated floors and walls. An aerodynamic front profile also is intended to promote enhanced fuel economy. "The weight saving makes Denali SuperLite towable by most half-ton and one-ton trucks," said Brent Stevens, vice president of marketing and sales. Four 26- to 31-foot travel trailer floorplans are equipped with up to two slideouts, while 26- and 27-foot fifth-wheels feature single living room slides. Solid wood cabinets, enclosed and heated underbellies and flat screen HD TVs are standard. MSRPs start at $21,500.

The Seattle Wine Awards was started by Christopher Chan in 2006. Chan, a certified sommelier, serves as Director of Wine & Spirits at Seattle's Rainier Club. He says his goal each year is to identify and recognize the Northwest's best wines.
To do so, Chan has tasting panels sample through hundreds of wines over several days. Each panel is composed of five people, including local sommeliers and long-time industry leaders such as Jay Schiering (Mccarthy & Schiering), Phillip Dunn (Canlis), Jeff Fournier (Esquin), Jake Kosseff (Wild Ginger Restaurants), and Amy Mumma (Central Washington University).
Wines are grouped by variety, but the panel is otherwise blind to information about the wine, including price. The panel generates a consensus score, and medals are awarded to wines that receive scores above a specified level. Awards are given based on both variety and price category.
That's the hard part. The easy part is celebrating the wineries that have received medals. The Seattle Wine Awards holds a Grand Awards Tasting each year. The event takes place at the incomparable Rainier Club (a dinner here played a significant role in my falling in love with wine I must add). Unlike most events, all of the wines poured at the Grand Awards Tasting are medal winners with the winemakers on hand pouring. This year's Grand Awards Tasting takes place on Sunday June 13th. Tickets are $125 for VIP admission (2pm to 7pm) and $85 for General Admission (4pm to 7pm). These prices are discounted $25 until April 30th.
Chan describes the Seattle Wine Awards is a "labor of love." When he started the event in 2006, 274 wines were submitted. The following year 454 wines were submitted. This year Chan expects almost 800 wines to be submitted. Chan says the Seattle Wine Awards is "ultimately all about the consumer" with the goal of helping people identify the highest quality wines.

This sounds like a fantastic event. 800 wines is a daunting task for any wine lover. I wish them the best of luck and may the best wines win!
In 2009 we took home a Gold for the Ice Wine ($25), Double Gold for the Riesling ($10), and Gold for Washington Cabernet ($20). Just sayin'.
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
JJ, based on the wines I sampled earlier this year, I'm sure Kiona will be taking home a few more in 2010!
judges listed are not accurate.
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Anon 9:52pm, thanks for the comment. The judges listed above include people who were invited to participate in this year's tasting panels as well as people who have participated in the past.

Barack Obama Sworn in as 44th U.S. President
Hundreds of millions tuned in worldwide today as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. And we expect that a fair number of Belizean-American were among the two million who gathered on the Washington Mall in the U.S. capital. But the Belizean with the best seat in the house was Ambassador to the United States, Nestor Mendez. We spoke to him an hour after the inauguration and he discussed the policy implications of President Obamas inaugural speech where the U.S. President told the world that America is ready to lead again. Mendez also discussed the emotion of the day.
Barack Obama, U.S. President
I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President of the United States faithfully and will to the best of my ability preserve protect and defend the constitution of the United States. So help me God.
Nestor Mendez,
I was behind where the President was being sworn in. There were some reserved seats for the diplomatic community, we were behind and to the left of President Obama. They were very very emotional. There was a true sense of history unfolding before our very eyes.
Barack Obama,
To all the other peoples in governments who are watching today, from the grandest capital to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each country and every man woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity and we are ready to lead once more. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work aside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow, to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders, nor can we consume the worlds resources without regard to the effect.
Nestor Mendez,
There is a very sensitive international perspective at the mentions made by Barack Obama, President Obama when he talked about America being ready to lead, America ready to engage its friends. From the diplomatic perspective, with respect, with humility and certainly Americas responsibility to take a rightful role as an economic giant who has to help other countries. He spoke about poor countries and the need to engage these countries and to help out these countries. Many countries have set expectations of the U.S. and President Obama said in his speech that the US is ready is lead again. I think if they will assume a leadership role, they must be in a strong economic position and that is one of the first things that the President will be doing. For Belize what this means is that there will be a continuity in the foreign policy of the United States towards our sub-region. We see a strong economy in the United States as being beneficial to us Jules. We know that we get many many tourists from the United States coming to Belize; they are an important part of our tourism market. If there are good economic times in the US that will eventually translate into better economic fortunes for Belize.
Belizes Prime Minister and current Chairman of CARICOM Dean Barrow will meet with President Obama when the President travels to Trinidad and Tobago in April for the Summit of the Americas.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Four times as many U.S. Democratic House members will have top roles in their party's convention than House Republicans had in theirs, the schedule indicates.
Twenty-seven House Democrats are to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., compared with seven GOP lawmakers who spoke onstage at the Republican gathering in Tampa, Fla., last week, the schedule first reported by Politico indicated.
Speakers at the Democratic convention, to begin Tuesday, are to include Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, Democratic congressional campaign committee Chairman Steven Israel of New York and Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson of Connecticut, the schedule says.
In Tampa, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, strongly endorsed by the Tea Party movement, and Whip Kevin McCarthy of California did not speak, Politico notes.
Lower-level and up-and-coming Democratic lawmakers are also to be featured during the Democrats' three-day convention, as will female lawmakers.
But Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says the national political conventions may be becoming irrelevant.
"I think they're losing their relevance when you don't have a real contest at the convention. I don't think it has the impact on the American public it once had," Durbin told the Chicago Tribune.
"All the suspense is gone. I don't think anyone hangs on the delivery of the platform, the wording of it. I chaired the platform committee at two conventions and nobody even noticed. It really is the most unread document in American political history.
"There isn't much there in the way of excitement. You get to see some old friends and have a little fun together, but no major decisions are being made."
Conventions aren't even drawing many protesters this year. While about 1,000 people marched through Charlotte, N.C., Sunday -- topping the number who protested outside the Republican convention last week in Florida -- the number fell short of the 2,000 to 10,000 police expected, The Charlotte Observer said.
The list of grievances from the largely peaceful marchers included the treatment of illegal immigrants, allegedly unfair home foreclosures and concerns about the environment, gay rights, jobs and President Barack Obama's use of drone aircraft.
Two people were arrested during the 2-hour march. One was a 23-year-old woman who violated a local ordinance by wearing a mask and who was found to be carrying a knife, police said. The other was of a 32-year-old male spectator accused of public intoxication and assault on a government official.
Medics treated two people struggling in the 92-degree heat, the newspaper said.
Among the protesters were illegal immigrants from Phoenix, some wearing T-shirts that read, "Undocumented, Unafraid," and "Arrest Arpaio," referring to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, accused of targeting Hispanic immigrants in Arizona.
Marchers rallied past the towers in Charlotte's city center, known as Uptown, where Bank of America Corp. is headquartered, Wells Fargo & Co. has its East Coast headquarters and Duke Energy Corp., the nation's largest electric utility, is based.
"Banks got bailed out. We got sold out," demonstrators, including from the Occupy movement, chanted. Some waved homemade signs. One sign read, "Bail out People, Not Banks."
Environmental groups blame Duke for using coal, considered a major source of air pollution and greenhouse gases, and for not investing more in renewable energy sources, the Observer said. Those sources include sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat.
The Democratic National Convention begins Tuesday.

Here's an alternative that may be cheaper and easier to order from:Misumi Engineering
I just got into the mythical aluminium extrude system known as 8020 and am looking for a user group or any other resource forum. I'm playing around with their "Be An Engineer" kit and have tons of entry level questions. But I think I'm wearing out the local distributor and am just not finding a dedicated resource for the stuff.
Thank you all very much for the replies.I've ordered up an 8020 doorstop (err catalog) and all of the "Made with 8020" guides for perusal and inspiration.Yesterday I had a great time finishing all the "Engineer Kit" projects. Just like the long gone Erector Set.My major malfunction though with this stuff is cutting it up. Sounds like a miter saw is the way to go, but I've not one. I did get an aluminum blade for my TS55, so cutting stock to length and even the 45 degree stuff might be doable. But I'm unsure how to do some of the holes. (see below) I talked with the machine shop lead at school who suggests building jigs that mount to the profile. Has anyone done that?

Also, their drilling jigs, while expensive make fabrication much easier.
I have milled the 13/16 holes with a template and a 1/2 inch endmill in my 1400.

I've routed aluminum storefront material for locks and pivots and I can honestly say that it is one of the most splincter tightening process' I've ever done.
Bought one of these not long ago but not long enough to have tried it.It's nominally a 20 mm hole saw made of high speed steel. It should be able to cut the bore for the 80/20 fasteners that require a 19.4 mm hole. How rough the result would be remains to be seen.It won't be able to do it without help. It's internal capacity it too shallow so a small end mill (or maybe a stubby drill bit) would be needed to clear the center swarf so the hole saw could proceed.

Can you name this classic 1958 horror film?
Before appearing in films, McQueen was a stage actor and even performed in a Broadway production. His career in films began in 1956 with minor parts, but his big break came 2 years later with "The Blob." McQueen, whose real name is Terrence Stephen McQueen, is credited as Steven McQueen in this film.

Yeah baby! Here is one of my favorite characters that I sort of grew up watching. His name is Zim and he tries to be one mean villain. I know so many Invader Zim fans are going to flip over this tutorial on "how to draw Zim easy", step by step. How could you not want to draw Zim, I mean look at him. He is sly, stylish, sassy, and sneaky. Even though he tries to have a cold heart, Zim will often show his softer side. I wanted Zim have his typical expression on his face for authentic purposes only. Another words, I want you guys to be like "Now that is Zim"!. Anyways, enjoy drawing Zim and I will enjoy uploading more tutorials for you all. Peace out people and like always people, enjoy!

Everything is getting hammered today, but one of the biggest winners is silver, which is down like 8%.
What's remarkable is looking at a long term chart of silver, and seeing how it's done a complete roundtrip (almost).
It surged in 2010, and went parabolic, and now it's pretty much given up all of it.

Liberal economist Reich and his material wear well
Inequality for All
Documentary. Starring Robert Reich. Directed by Jacob Kornbluth. (PG. 90 minutes.)
Documentaries can have the noblest of intentions, but they sink or swim according to the crude rules of movies: Do you want to watch this person for 90 minutes?
The fortunate thing about for "Inequality for All" is that, for all its good information and useful insight, it also has an appealing person at its center: Robert Reich, the economics expert and Berkeley professor who was also the labor secretary under Bill Clinton.
Certain things can't be faked. Reich is no condescending intellectual. He has no contempt for people of the opposite point of view. He even has nice things to say about Bill O'Reilly.
He is also, unlike many other left-of-center commentators, not a pessimist. Thus, when he talks, he is genuinely trying to communicate, because he believes that communication might actually do some good.
This is essential, because it means that "Inequality for All" depicts a man trying to change the world for the better, not merely preserving his own opinions for the approval of history.
Directed by Jacob Kornbluth, the film skillfully juggles several elements: It tells Reich's personal story, shows him lecturing in a university setting, shows him in various public appearances, and shows him talking directly into the camera about his economic ideas.
Along the way, he dismantles a lot of conservative dogma that has become pervasive on talk radio and Fox News.
He addresses the myth that "job creators" must not be taxed, lest that destroy the economy, and he demonstrates, over and over, the importance of a vibrant middle class, stressing the significance of labor unions in that equation.
In between, the movie reminds us, rather effortlessly, of the positive and refreshing force that Reich is in American life - a rare public figure who takes his ideas seriously, but not himself.
The film contains many memorable moments, but one that stands out for me is when a man who describes himself as a laborer stands up and argues his employers' line at a town meeting: They had the brains to start the business, he says, so they deserve all the perquisites of the society, and he deserves what little they choose to pay him.
Clearly, it's almost a matter of pride with this man that he doesn't want more. Reich's patient reaction, his lack of frustration with this fellow, is fascinating. He has heard this argument before.
