Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co., known as Satorp, has started operations at its 400,000 bpd refinery in Jubail in eastern Saudi Arabia and will export its first cargo this month.
By SUMMER SAID and GERALDINE AMIEL
Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co., known as Satorp,
said Thursday it has started operations at its 400,000bpd
refinery in Jubail in eastern Saudi Arabia and will export its
first cargo this month.
"Start-up is progressing as per the plan. Production is
starting from the refinery and first shipment will be
exported before the end of September," the company said in an
emailed statement. "Further to this first shipment, other
products will be exported as per the start-up schedule and the
production plan."
Satorp, 62.5% owned by state-giant Saudi Arabian Oil Co.,
known as Saudi Aramco, with the rest held by French oil company
Total, was initially expected to be fully operational during
the third quarter of 2013. But Total CEO Christophe de Margerie
said in April that the refinery will start operating at
full capacity by the end of the year.
The refinery complex is estimated to cost about $14 billion
to build and is part of a drive by the world's top oil exporter
to boost refining capacity.
In December, Satorp said it will double its capital to 7.12
billion Saudi riyals ($1.95 billion) in the first quarter of
2013 to fund the refinery. The capital increase was
paid in cash by shareholders in proportion to their stakes and
didn't change ownership levels.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I've spent quite a bit of time studying the Mathieu Groups, and I own the ATLAS.
My question is about M12. It is based on the ternary Golay Code, and is the automorphism group of a Steiner S(5,6,12) system. Now, all of these Steiner systems are isomorphic up to labelling. The order of M12 is 95040, which is 132 x 720. Since there are 132 blocks in this Steiner system, one can see that the 720 or S6 piece merely scrambles the six elements of the hexad. Then, the 132 part is just sending the elements of one hexad to another, of which there are 132 ways to do this.
Can someone give me an intuitive construction for this, not just generators...would it make sense to say that the (sharply) quintuple transitive action might be to send block 1 to 2, and 2 to 3, and perhaps another action to send block 1 to 3, 3 to 5 etc. or something of this nature? Is there a hard and fast way to look at this action (M12) in terms of the blocks? Or was I wrong about the 720 X 132 decomposition of the order of the group...Thanks, Paul.

Coppelia Question #1: Do you take Coppelia seriously?
Posted 15 May 2001 - 12:53 AM
"Coppelia" is a ballet that's been a bit out of fashion lately -- a staple of semi-professional companies as a spring show, but no longer a vehicle for star ballerinas -- at least, not often. One of the most revolutionary things George Balanchine ever did was to stage a "Coppelia" in 1974, at the height of the triumph of post-modernism, two years after the Stravinsky Festival with its oh, so modern ballets. It was a year before I came to ballet, so I only know of the shock this caused second hand. But it did cause a shock.
So, with that preamble, and since we have posters of several generations here, do you take "Coppelia" seriously as one of the great ballets? Why or why not.
Posted 15 May 2001 - 02:04 AM
Just as how the supreme control/girliness of Aurora, the different sides of Odette and Odile, and the wonder and excitement of Clara (Nutcracker) are essential personalities to learn, to become an animated doll or the owner of a hopelessly flirty boyfriend (Franz) is a challenge in itself.
So for me, I think Coppelia deserves to be on the list with the 'great ballets'. If we're considering the great Swanhildas then the ballet itself must have a legacy too, right?
Posted 15 May 2001 - 04:10 PM
For the enjoyment it has given people: yes.
Plot? Weeeeeeelllllll.......
Posted 15 May 2001 - 04:23 PM
Also, as Juliet noted, the score is a fine one and, like "Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake," probably one of the main reasons why "Coppelia" has endured.

Taking a somewhat different emphasis, and one that would relate Coppelia to earlier romantic ballets, Croce describes Swanilda as a Shavian heroine who has to bring the dreaming/fantasizing hero down to earth and back to real life -- with Coppelius a kind of failed artist who never did entirely return from his dreams back to the everyday. (I'm paraphrasing Croce based on memory and may be elaborating a bit.) In a sense Coppelius is a belated version of Pygmalion -- Pygmalion in the age of mechanical reproduction.
Even the Wagner parodies that the Balanchine/Danilova version include partly underline the way this is a ballet about ballet (or theater more broadly), as well as a ballet about the undoing of romantic myth. No more unattainable dream women (Sylphs or Valkyries) -- or, rather, a robot instead.
None of this would be able to take theatrical effect, if there weren't the choreography to sustain the sheer dance interest. That's why it's a ballet and not a Hoffman story! But the evidence of the various productions I've seen is that enough remains of the "original" -- steps/structure/atmosphere -- to say that there is a choreographic template and it works.
I agree, too, with Luka's comment that the ballet's rich history counts for something in this discussion. It's an important work if for no other reason than that it has been the scene of important performances. That alone might not be reason enough to keep staging Coppelia, but it is a part of the larger picture.
I guess it's clear by now how I would answer the question. Yes, indeed, I do take Coppelia seriously as a major ballet!

One of the most moving scenes in this ballet I've seen was Fredbjorn Bjornsson as Coppelius, because he really believed he'd done it, finally succeeded, after all these years, and the belief, and the love he had for her, was so intense it made his moment of realization that he had been duped absolutely heartbreaking. One felt he had a total of four minutes of happiness in his entire life.

By the way, it's one of my favorites. It's not very deep or anything, but indeed, why should it have to be? It's one well-known ballet that has no element of magic or tragedy. Really, it's a ballet for the Industrial Age.
Yes, it has a fantastic score and I agree that's one of the reasons it's endured but I'm beginning to like the music of Sylvia better: There's more of an emotional scope in Sylvia.
Posted 12 September 2008 - 04:43 AM
The Balanchine Coppelia, which is the only version I know, has always struck me as being one of the less satisfying full-lengths, despite its charming score, and I don't know why. Possibly Mel put his finger on it for me when he raises the issue of how very difficult it is to do comedy effectively.
Coppelia must be taken seriously by an audience, even if they know it's a comedy! And it must be taken seriously by the dancers, as well! Problems erupt for a "comic" ballet (or comic anything) that falls somewhere between cheap yox, and High Truth!
I would add to this: "Coppellia must be taken seriously by its stagers and dancers." Perhaps too many performances in which the ballet has been done with inconsistency of style and tone, with too much jokiness in the first and second acts and too little sense continuity (and wonder) in the third, have slightly spoiled it for me.
Similarly, although Drew and Alexandra raise the matter of the significant themes in the story, I am struck by the question of whether these ideas -- which can be justified on paper -- can actually be communicated from the stage, to the audience, during performance. I'd love to be conviced that I am wrong.
(I should add that I go back to the first performances at NYCB and have seen several Miami perfornances in recent years.)
So, to return to Alexandra's original question: "Do you take Coppelia seriously?" I would add: If so, how and why? If not ... why not?

Coppelia. Oh, how do i miss it! I read somewhere that George Balanchine once declared "Giselle" to be ballet's great tragedy and "Coppelia" its great comedy. Both are equally popular in Cuba. I would say that it is no accident that both became signature pieces for the Havana troupe, for which we cubans' love of these two works runs deep, and Mme.Alonso has spent a lifetime refining each to perfection. The breathtaking results of her devotion to "Coppelia" really shows on her version. One have to remember that Alonso's involvement with "Giselle" is legend, but she in fact danced Swanilda in "Coppelia" first, in Nikolai Yavorski's 1935 production in Cuba when she was only 15. She collaborated with Leon Fokine, at the time a teacher at the Alicia Alonso Academy in Havana, on her first "Coppelia" staging in 1948 with her venerated Igor Youskevitch as her loving Franz. Then in 1957, Andre Eglevsky was her Franz, in that other historic "Coppelia" mounted at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles-(from which there's that clip that i posted in the videos forum). Then the 1968 Alonso "Coppelia" for her Ballet Nacional de Cuba became, like her definitive 1972 "Giselle" for both the Paris Opera Ballet and the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, the standard by which I always judge all other choreographic versions. On the other side, let's not forget that Fokine influence on Cuban ballet is at least as strong as that of the Italian Enrico Zanfretta or any later Russian influence. The sensual and exquisite boundaries of the Cuban style are defined by Alonso's "Coppelia" as much as by her "Giselle." Alonso's historically informed reconstruction of the original 1870 Arthur Saint-Leon and later Marius Petipa versions of "Coppelia" carries the unmistakable post-Romantic line and flavor that marked the Fokine revolution in the early 20th century. The superhuman demands on virtuosity are more than in any other "Coppelia" production: Swanilda's Act 3 solo alone demands the technical fireworks of, say, a couple of Rose Adagios with Giselle's Act 1 extended pointe solo added for good measure-(and believe me, the Cuban audience shows no mercy if what is expected is not delivered in a 150 %, both technically and artistically). But more than all the classical complexity-(and hey, Cubans toss off impossible steps as if they were the easiest thing in the world )- there is real humanity in Coppelia's dancing. Basically, for me Mme.Alonso's "Coppelia" matters because it makes me believe in the power of dance to reaffirm the best in all of us...and yes, this is enough of a reason for me to take this ballet very seriously...if I may.
do you take "Coppelia" seriously as one of the great ballets? Why or why not.
Posted 11 January 2009 - 08:24 AM
I was struck by similarities between the Freddy Franklin staging done now at American Ballet Theater and the Balanchine/Danilova version. Clearly the first act (theme and variations grand pas) and third act divertissements are superior at NYCB because they are entirely Balanchine. However the second act is almost identical in every detail in both stagings. Clearly Franklin and Danilova were working from a common Ballets Russes source. Whether there is an earlier Maryinsky source choreography that is Petipa or more likely Nicolai Legat that Nicolai Sergeyeff used at Ballets Russes is an issue I will throw to the ballet historians more qualified than I on this site.
What are the origins of these versions? How did they come to be both similar and dissimilar?
Thanks, FauxPas, for your insights into this ballet and for your questions.

9 Actors Who Do the Exact Same Thing on Every Movie Poster
#4. Anne Hathaway Has to Be in Front of Other People
Anne Hathaway has a habit of positioning herself in front of other people in her movie posters, getting to the point where sometimes her presence alone seems to make everyone around her magically turn blurry or invisible.
Usually it takes some side-boob to accomplish this effect in real life.
This makes sense now that she's a big star, but she's actually been doing this since her very first movie roles: In the Princess Diaries series, Hathaway consistently managed to plant herself in front of Julie Andrews, despite not being the one who was in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
"Can we make the title go behind me, too? On the back of the poster?"
In fact, if you look at all her breakout roles, it's like she's literally pushing her way to prominence. In her first serious role, Nicholas Nickleby, she somehow ended up in front of everyone else (even the main character, technically).
In Becoming Jane, she appears to be pushing her co-star out of the poster, and then in Get Smart, her first action role, the entire theme of the marketing campaign was her and Steve Carrell competing to be on front.
The winner gets to play Catwoman.
And finally, she's the only distinguishable face in Rachel Getting Married, in which she plays a self-centered maid of honor who makes her sister's wedding all about her. So apparently the poster is just her in the process of ruining a wedding photo with her face.
The result? Her first Oscar nomination. There's still time for her to put herself in front of Batman in the next Dark Knight Rises poster and get a Lifetime Achievement Award.
#3. Steve Martin Has No Idea What the Hell Is Going On
Since the '70s, Steve Martin has been doing that thing where he's in some sort of outrageous situation and, judging by the look on his face, expects you to explain to him how he got there.
"Well? I'm waiting."
However, the Steve Martin quizzical stare is not as simple as it seems: There are many ingredients to it. For an optimal result, make sure to position yourself to the left of someone, preferably a woman, preferably named Goldie Hawn.
If you can't afford Goldie Hawn, wait a few more years on Kate Hudson.
Next, open your eyes wide and tilt to the left ...
... and finally, make sure that the person to your right is trying to touch you and looks way too excited to be there.
It's telling that he apparently considers Queen Latifah more repulsive than John Candy.
Congratulations! You are now a Steve Martin poster. Feel free to add brides/babies at your convenience.
And age backward, while you're at it.
#2. Kevin Bacon Stares into Your Soul
When Kevin Bacon started out in Hollywood, he was the typical teenage heartthrob who enchanted women and confused men, and as such he perfected the art of the intense stare:
"I've eyes only for you, half-naked Cheeto man."
The problem was, as time went by and Bacon got older and slightly creepier, he no longer got the same type of parts ... but he never stopped doing the stare.
For anyone but a movie star, that look means a one-way trip to the sex offender registry.
He just ...
... kept ...
... doing it.
Bacon doesn't even appear in that last film -- he just showed up in the picture, like the kid in Three Men and a Baby. The upside is that by now you can just take a picture of Kevin Bacon, add some weird shit around it and bam, you've got yourself a horror picture.
"How did it look? Was that sexy? Hey, this is a romantic comedy, right?" "Y-yes."
#1. Jack Nicholson Really Wants to Show You His Teeth
Jack Nicholson has arguably the most famous set of teeth on the planet. Think back to the most iconic roles in his career and you'll notice a pattern: They all grinned like complete maniacs.
And they were all that, but we're sure that's just a coincidence.
The problem is that Nicholson's teeth are such a big audience draw that his posters often show him smiling in situations where no one would ever be that thrilled, like when they're going to hang him in Goin' South ...
If we hadn't seen the movie, we'd assume it was about auto-erotic asphyxiation.
... or when he's literally living in the Great Depression in Ironweed ...
"No, this is my sad face."
... or when he's trapped in a nuthouse where they're going to fry his brains in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ...
Which has a lot of ...
... interesting posters.
... or, hell, when he's just straight up gonna die in The Bucket List.
Our bucket list just involves being in the same room as Morgan Freeman.
Of course, looking at As Good as It Gets and The Bucket List up there begs another question -- how long has it been since Nicholson changed his sunglasses? Or does he have to wear them all the time now because otherwise the white of his teeth would blind him?
Maybe he and Jet Li should trade.

Issue Date:
October, 2011
The October issue of InfoTech & Telecom News reports on a proposal by the Illinois-based Commonwealth Edison Company to install smart meters – a plan a third-party analysis says could save the company's 5.4 million customers $2.8 billion on electric bills over a 20-year period. Nevertheless, the proposal is controversial, and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) rejected the plan shortly after this issue went to press.
Also in this issue:
- The Federal Communications Commission implemented the Truth in Caller ID Act in mid-August in an effort to crack down on caller-identification fraud, or "spoofing."
- The warrantless placement of GPS devices on suspects' vehicles by law enforcement agents has triggered a flurry of legal action, with appeals courts unable to come to a consensus.
- Comments opposing the $39 billion merger of AT&T and T-Mobile may have been automatically generated, a practice commonly known as robo-signing or astroturfing.
- Utilities and telecommunications companies are required to disclose their use of consumer credit scores, another costly regulatory burden posed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank measure.
- Managing Editor Bruce Edward Walker is not impressed by Ben Shapiro's hot--and hot-tempered--new book, Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV.

8 Trendy Workouts (Ranked on the Sweat-O-Meter Scale)
Sometimes you want to walk out of the gym drenched in sweat, and sometimes you want to keep that spendy blowout intact. That's where this sweat-o-meter comes in
For me -- and for so many women I know -- it's all about whether or not you have to wash your hair. Here's the simple logic: I don't want to wash my hair on consecutive days, and sweaty workouts necessitate hair washing. Therefore, I can only participate in sweaty workouts every other day. Makes sense, right?
So I developed this sweat-o-meter scale. It's a simple one to 10 measurement of a workout's sweat level, where one is barely a glisten and 10 is I-look-like-I-fell-in-a-pool drenched. If a workout scores higher than a five, you'll probably need to shampoo.
Skip ahead to see where the trendiest new workouts fall on the sweaty workout scale.
You can probably guess where a Bikram yoga class falls (somewhere between an 8.5 and 10 depending on how high the instructor cranks up the heat), but what about all of the trendy new workouts that have popped up recently?
If you have yet to hit up a SoulCycle class and you want to know just how sweaty a workout it is before you go, read on. I'm breaking down eight of the hottest workouts according to the sweat-o-meter scale. Here's how (literally) hot they really are.

This article could have been written for me. Last year, I exercised daily (either on my stationery bike or walking the track at the high school), but I HAD to wash my hair every day. That stripped it of color and made already-dry locks more vulnerable. I had nearly (nearly) forgotten that there are other things I can do--such as ballet moves--where I won't be a soaking mess! Great piece!

But Diets High in Protein Put on Less Fat, More Lean Body Mass
Jan. 3, 2012 -- Here's a new study we really could have used before the holidays: If you are going to overeat, be sure your diet has enough protein.
Body fat increases in all who overeat, regardless of the level of protein eaten, the researchers found. But those who overate with low protein levels in their diet stored a higher percent of calories as fat. They also lost lean body mass, while those on the higher-protein diets gained lean body mass.
The messages are clear, says researcher George Bray, MD, Boyd professor and professor of medicine at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La.
Calories count, and so does protein. "Very low protein diets are clearly detrimental," Bray says. "You lose lean body mass."
The study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Overeating, Protein, & Weight Gain: Study Results
Other experts have suggested that overeating either on a low- or high-protein diet would produce less weight gain than overeating with normal protein intake.
Bray and his team set out to assess how the level of protein affects not only weight gain when you overeat, but also body composition (what percent of you is lean vs. fat) and resting energy expenditure (the amount of calories your body burns at rest).
Bray's team studied 25 healthy men and women, ages 18 to 35, between 2005 and 2007. Their average body mass index or BMI ranged from nearly 20 to nearly 30. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal weight.
Each participant first ate a weight-stabilizing diet for 13 to 25 days. Next, they were assigned to one of three groups: a 5%, 15%, or 25% protein diet. During the next eight weeks, they were fed one of the three protein levels in a diet that had about 1,000 extra calories a day.
The researchers evaluated their weight, body composition, and resting energy expenditure before and after the study.
The findings could help experts advise people on how to eat to avoid weight gain and obesity and to maintain lean body mass.

I'm trying to troubleshoot some events in my logs and need to figure out what web application is associated to the GUID the logs reference.
Anyone know how I can generate the GUID for each of my web applications?
You can use following PowerShell command to know all your Web Application's GUIDs.
However, bear in mind that, the GUIDs for each item in ULS logs are unique (typically for one unit of operation - like one page request) and they do not correspond directly to GUIDs of web application, unless the log suggests so.
To generate a GUID (in Powershell) -
Visual Studio also has the 'Create GUI' option under the Tools menu.
This Powershell command (mentioned by Ashish above) gives you the Web App name and its ID (GUID) -
and to extend more to the above by using PowerShell with the ULS Log files (using the Get-SPLogLevel/Set-SPLogLevel cmdlets) - this post may be helpful - SharePoint 2010 Logging Improvements – Part 1
If you are talking about the "Correlation" column in the log file, that info isn't related to the web application in any way (or at last - not in any documented way that I know of, it may still be possible that the ID is somehow calculated using some info from the web application identity).
That said, the correlation identifier is simply a GUID that is automatically generated for every request that the SharePoint web server receives. This identifier is also persisted and used in any further communication between server that the request may generate. From an user point of view this means that it's possible to track down any log records that where generated by a single request. Probably you have already saw it, but whenever SharePoint shows an error page it includes a "correlation id". Simply copy that id, search it in the log file (or use a tool like SharePoint Uls Viewer) and you will be able to filter out the records that contain info about the offending request.
As a developer you can include the current correlation id in any message you may be generating (this can help you to find the info you need), but the only way to do so that I know of is to use an external reference.
Anyway, this blog post should provide further info: link
To elaborate some more: If you need to somehow include a web application identifier in your log messages, you will need to do this "by yourself" - SharePoint does not include this information by default. That would not be a problem if you are generating the log record (simple include a web app identifier in the log info, even the web application description would do), but could be a problem if you are tracking some ootb log error messages. In that case, my suggestion would be to resort to the correlation id that should be displayed in the UI or backtrack the error based on the execution time - either way it shouldn't be possible to associate the correlation id (or the event/thread identifiers) to a specifi web app.

I covered quite a lot of ground, but approaching 36 my knees are starting to give me troubles. Should I expect trekking poles to restore my previous stamina and walking durability? Or are they just fancy status symbols? :)
Here are some scientific papers, with my brief summaries.
Summary: They make hiking less damaging to your body, but they increase exertion.
I've heard rumors of studies that show that trekking poles reduce the force on your legs during a hike (by transferring it to your arms). The only reference to a study I could find was this one, but I wouldn't know how to verify that the study was well constructed.
This showed about a 25% reduction in the strain on the leg muscles of hikers (measured by an analysis of chemicals in the muscle tissue, and also the precived amount of muscle soreness from the hikers). The hikers trekked up and down a mountain trail in the UK, so it seems like a fairly realistic test. The study measured exertion of muscles, not knee injuries, but I would assume that reducing muscle strain would also reduce overuse injuries.
My experience
My totally antectodal experience is that 100% of the people I know who hiked long distances on the Appalachian Trail (either through-hikers, or guys that hiked a long portion) used trekking poles, and swore by them. They claim the poles reduce the strain on their knees, let them hike faster, and made them a little more stable when descending a trail. This included one 60-ish hiker, for whatever that's worth.
Also, I have no way to back this up, but I would speculate that anything that made you more stable on your feet would reduce the risk of, say, slipping and tearing your ACL while descending a loose trail.
No Silver Bullets
Of course, if you're having knee problems while hiking, you should think of trekking poles as part of your strategy to address that. Other things may include, looking at your shoes, maybe losing weight (if you're overweight), maybe adding in some lite strength training and stretching for your legs, reducing pack weight, and maybe even picking less aggressive hiking goals.
There are people who swear by poles, and there are people hiking into their eighties without poles or knee trouble. Part of it is genetics, part of it is being intelligent about hiking. Poles may help with the symptoms, but wouldn't it be better not to cause the problems in the first place? If you're having knee problems, look at your pack weight. If your dry pack weight is high (say, 20+ pounds) work on reducing the weight. If you're not wearing the right shoe for long distance hiking (trail running shoes with a little padding) that's going to be hard on your knees.
Buy or borrow a copy of Trail Life and read through it. I read it a couple years after getting back into hiking, and making the changes outlined in older versions of this book made hiking much more fun. The author Ray Jardine and his wife have hiked tens of thousands of miles through-hiking the AT, the PCT, and the CDT, among others.
Trekking poles are extra weight, and therefore will require extra exertion. Furthermore, they're extra weight on a moving part of your body, just like shoes are, which further increases the importance of keeping them light. Fix the other issues first, if any, so that you're not just treating the symptoms instead of the cause.
Trekking poles are a great helper if you have problems with your knees after a long march. A pain 'in knees' is usually a pain in the muscles around the knees, that are responsible for maintaining equilibrium. Those muscles are not very active if you walk on footpath, but in outdoors they are intensively used. With trekking poles, the equilibrium is maintained by providing additional fulcrum.
I can say with my experience, that using trekking poles have enabled me keeping pace with my comrades in mountains, which without poles were very hard for me, and additionally I had problems with knees.
But mention also, that using trekking poles will train your arm muscles, but will not train that muscles that are making problems by you. So you can become trekking-pole-dependent. After increasing my stamina with trekking poles, I've started to train walking without them, at begin in plains, than in mountains. Now I use them very seldom.
Also from my experience, trekking poles are decreasing fatigue of leg muscles, but increasing the fatigue of arm muscles, and overall you use more energy. I was able to increase distance walking without trekking poles. But if my knees are saying that they are too tired, I switch to trekking poles.
I have recently hit 40 and have been using hiking sticks for the past five years.
When I began having problems with my knees, my doctor originally suggested the problem was with osteoarthritis. Doing a little bit of searching on the Internet suggested that hiking sticks would help so I purchased a pair. The reasoning was that it removed some stress/pressure from your knees and ankles by changing the way you carry your upper body weight. For every pound of weight above your knees, it translates to six pounds or so of pressure in your knees as you walk.
About the same time I began using hiking sticks, I decided to get into better shape for hiking at the gym. I worked with a trainer and took pilates and yoga classes.
For about three years, I had little problem with my knees. The combination of the hiking sticks and the additional exercise allowed me to nearly double my "comfortable" hiking distance from 8-10 miles to 15 miles with little to no knee pain.
Earlier this year, I began slacking off on my weight training. To my surprise, I began having trouble with my knees despite my continued use of the hiking sticks. On one particularly rough hike just two months ago, I was barely able to walk after seven miles.
Doing some more research, the strength of your knees has a large part to do with knee pain when hiking. I've started doing lunges and squats both at home and at the gym, and I'm much better off now. I just completed a 20 mile hike last weekend with only minor discomfort.
Don't get me wrong -- my hiking sticks will continue to go on every trip. They DO help by providing stability to your upper body on rough trails, taking a lot of stress off of your (possibly) weak knee muscles. This is especially true on rocky trails where your footing will cause your knee to work at odd angles.
I had similar problems and I used hiking poles for some time. I however discontinued the use of hiking poles as I like to have my hands free and I do not like the additional weight. What really matters for me is the stride, especially downhill. Imagine yourself to "sneak" through the country as opposed to "trudge" like a cow for example. Wearing light shoes helps: You can set down your toes first and absorb the shock from walking downhill for example. It does take some practice and some awareness. One of my sons had knee problems at 20 until he accepted his fathers advice and paid more attention to his stride.

I am using 4.5.1.
You're right, the class jquery.q/extends jquery stuff was a hack to get q to appear. Now that I've added the dummy @class jQuery, that works correctly with just a member tag
/** * @class jQuery * jQuery library is documented here <http://jqapi.com> <br /> */ ... /** * @member jQuery * @chainable * jQuery selector cachin * @param {String} selector any jQuery selector string * @param {Boolean} [clear=false] force the cache for this selector to be cleared and re-read from DOM * @return {jQuery} */
As for the Global vs global thing - I just used the uppercase format in my tags b/c it looked cleaner, in the output - it's not a real class.Tim Ryan

JSDuck 4.6 released
This implements a long-requested feature of automatically closing down unclosed HTML tags inside documentation. Previously a single unclosed <div> could mess up the layout of the docs in severe ways while being hard to track down. Now all tags get automatically closed and a warning message gets printed, so you'll know where the problems are.
In relation to this there's a new --ignore-html=TAG option to allow some tags to remain open - that's currently mainly geared towards ExtJS and Touch codebases that contain <debug> and <locale> tags for post-processing purposes.
Several other smaller fixes have gone in too. See the changelog for details.

JSDuck 5.0 beta released
Today I'm happy to announce JSDuck 5.0 beta release, which brings a new custom tags system which is way more flexible than the old system was.
The new tags system is not backwards compatible. Any existing custom tags will need to be converted to the new format. The --meta-tags option has been replaced with a --tags option - hinting that the new system is for more than just some meta-data, and indeed, all the builtin tags of JSDuck are now also implemented with this new system.
Read the guide for all the details.
All of this is still in flux, all the features aren't in yet and the API can still change in substantial ways. And that's why now is the perfect opportunity to give feedback. Can you do what you want with the new API? Was it easy or hard? Did you run into bugs? Other ideas and suggestions? All feedback will be most appreciated.
Besides the tags system, the 5.0 should be very backwards compatible and quite stable in its running. Give it a try!
To install the beta, run:
$ gem install jsduck --pre
An incremental patch release with some bugfixes.
See the changelog for details.
Note: At the moment the Windows binaries are missing from both releases. Hoping to get them out tomorrow.
25 Feb 2013 11:19 PM #224
Hi renku,
Thanks for your amazing works in JSDuck, a truly great piece of software.
I've a question regarding the new JSDuck 5:
We currently use the JSON files generated by JSDuck on ExtJS 4.2 sources to automatically generate custom code. Does the new tag system change the generated JSON for ExtJS 4.2 (tag names or structure) ?
26 Feb 2013 1:34 AM #225
For start the "meta" field is now gone, as there is no meta-tags system any more. Anything that appeared inside "meta" (like "deprecated" and "protected") is now inside the main hash of a member or class. For example:
In 4.x:
{"tagname": "method", "meta": {"protected": true}}
{"tagname": "method", "protected": true}
{ "tagname": "class", "members": {"method": [...], "event": [...]}, "statics": {"method": [...], "event": [...]} }
{ "tagname": "class", "members": [...] }
26 Feb 2013 1:40 AM #226
Thanks renku for your comprehensive answer.
Look good to me, waiting Windows binary to give it a try.
26 Feb 2013 6:04 AM #227
Windows binaries for both 4.6.2 and 5.0 beta are now available:
27 Feb 2013 12:41 AM #228

JSDuck 4.7 released
Another incremental update on JSDuck 4.x line.
Configuration is now automatically read from jsduck.json file from current directory. So you can just place this file into your project root dir and ask your fellow developers to simply run the jsduck command with no other parameters.
The footer of docs now by default contains the date and time when the docs were generated. Accordingly the --footer option now recognizes {DATE} placeholder.
Some additional work went in to decouple JSDuck from RubyGems system, so it can be packaged differently e.g. into a Debian package.
And I've already released JSDuck 4.7.1 to patch problems with IE10.
See the changelog for details.

In my career I have two different instances of working for a company which was then acquired by another company. In both cases the acquirer was a larger, known-name company which I'd like to list on my resume.
However at the same time, in one of these cases 80% of my time was spent at the pre-acquisition company, and it would feel wrong to me to claim that I worked for Big Company for the entire 4 year period.
Is there an accepted way to represent this on your CV? I'm nervous that if I attempt to enter something like "Small Company Name / Big Company Name" in the
Company or Employer field that this might mess with string matching if I chose to hide my resume from either of these employers.
Or should I list these companies as distinct entries in my CV?
How are other people handling this scenario in their own CV?

The 5 Creepiest Disappearances That Nobody Can Explain
#2. Jim Thompson
During World War II, Jim Thompson was an agent for OSS, the predecessor of the CIA. After his service ended, he decided to retire in his mission country of Thailand and enter the strangest possible profession for a former spy: Thompson became a fashion big shot who single-handedly rebuilt the Thai silk industry. Thompson's efforts to improve the economy won him the respect of both the public and the government, not to mention making him ridiculously rich.
Tours of his house Cribs-style rich.
On March 26, 1967, while vacationing in a highlands cottage with some friends, he never returned from his solitary afternoon walk. His popularity and power immediately led to the largest search in Thai history. Alas, Thompson was never found.
It Gets Weirder:
We know for a fact that Thompson wasn't planning on a long walk, because he didn't take his jacket, medication or -- a telltale sign, as he was a heavy smoker -- his cigarettes.
"Machetes are a better secondhand killer."
It also seems unlikely that he accidentally got lost or fell. He was a retired military officer/spy with extensive survival experience. The terrain was relatively easy, and he was an experienced hiker who liked to engage in solo jungle walkabouts that would pass for a training montage in a Tarzan movie.
So, maybe he had a stroke or something? But that huge search operation wasn't just a bunch of guys lazily wandering around the area -- it was a battalion of experienced trackers, combing the land. Dead or alive, if Thompson were there he would've been found (or at least you'd think).
"I'm gonna go test this invisibility cloak and experiment with mixing hard drugs. Be back in an hour."
Rumor soon had it that Thompson, being a wealthy American expatriate, had been kidnapped. If so, they weren't doing it for the money -- no ransom demand appeared, and no evidence ever turned up of such an operation.
Despite rewards and multiple search and re-search parties, no credible evidence of Thompson's fate has ever surfaced. The most generally accepted theory claims he was abducted by communists -- and that one is based on testimony by a freaking psychic.
An all-American, capitalist hero psychic.
Since we are already at the "psychics get a say in this" stage, let's run this thing through the Cracked Speculation Machine (patent pending): Thompson was a revered member of the U.S. Intelligence community, and not necessarily a former one at that. Longstanding rumors maintained that he never quite let go of the whole spying thing, and the fact that he disappeared during a time when Southeast Asia was quickly becoming extremely hostile for Americans -- mere months before the Tet Offensive -- seems awfully convenient.
We're not explicitly saying he might have been called back from retirement for one last spy mission, the enthralling details of which we can never be allowed to know. We're just heavily implying.
Just like this spy's about to heavily imply a bunch of lead into some commie faces.
#1. The Crew of the MV Joyita
In October 1955, a merchant vessel named MV Joyita set sail from Samoa for a two-day voyage to Tokelau Islands, carrying 25 people and a cargo of timber and empty oil drums. Four days later, its destination port sent out a message that the ship had never arrived. No distress signals had been received -- the Joyita had just vanished.
Everyone flipped out and a huge search mission was organized. Still, the vessel wasn't found until over a month later, floating aimlessly a good 600 miles away from Samoa ... with nobody on board.
The Joyita was flooded and tilting to the point of being partially submerged.
The band stayed on until the end, despite ample lifeboat space and them being an a cappella ensemble.
And no, it wasn't a case where everybody was standing on one rail and when the boat tipped it dumped them all into the water. The boat's logbook and navigational equipment were missing, as were the dinghy, all three lifeboats and all the food. The radio of the ship was found to be in perfect working order and set to the emergency frequency. However, it only had a range of about 2 miles due to messed-up wiring that had gone unnoticed.
Well ... that's eerie, granted, but pretty straightforward. The ship started leaking and they had to abandon it, because they were unable to signal for help, right?
"We signaled to the dolphins to save us, but they just ate Claude and laughed."
It Gets Weirder:
That would be a nice theory, except for the fact that the ship was completely seaworthy. It had a large hole in its superstructure, indicating a collision with something -- but as the actual hull had not been breached, that was nowhere near enough to cause much harm. There was a little water inside the ship, but that was mainly due to it bobbing in the waves like a cork for weeks.
If the crew and passengers loaded up in lifeboats and pissed off toward familiar waters, why weren't any of them spotted by air rescue? Lifeboats tend to be designed for good visibility, and even if they keel over they don't sink easily. And we're not talking about one lifeboat here, but three.
Lifeboat tastes better when sandwiched between people steaks.
Wait, it gets better! Most of the windows of the ship were smashed. The main engine was covered in mattresses for no apparent reason, and only one of the other engines was working. One of the passengers was a doctor, and his bag was found on the deck -- with several tools removed and replaced with bloody rags. To cap off the scene, the failing generator had stopped each of the ship's clocks at 10:25 p.m., presumably to indicate what we'll just go ahead and call "Cthulhu Time."
Unsurprisingly, most everyone started pushing their pet theory on what had happened. Even less surprisingly, said theories range from the usual pirate and mutiny stories to the obligatory "aliens did it" one, to a particularly creative one about Japanese holdouts from WWII having attacked the boat.
And who knows, maybe one of those batshit insane proposals is correct. MV Joyita isn't telling. She is too busy enjoying the deserved reputation of the "Mary Celeste of the Pacific."
The MV Joyita would run aground three more times in the following years. Because the first thing you do with a demon boat is keep it fed.

Minified code has errors in Code - whereas unminified code works perfectly
Actually the post contains 2 questions
1) The following code snippets when part of the files that are minified using Sencha Cmd's
Sencha app Build - produces errors
{ xtype : 'fieldcontainer', combineErrors : true, msgTarget : 'qtip', fieldLabel : 'Campaign Type', allowBlank : false, defaults : { hideLabel : true, width : 330 }, items : [{ xtype : 'radiogroup', id : 'campaignTypeRadioGroup', name : 'campaignType', columns : 2, vertical : true, fieldLabel : 'Campaign Type', layout : 'hbox', items : [{ checked : true, boxLabel : 'Ad-Hoc ', name : 'campaignType', inputValue : 'N' }, { boxLabel : 'Re-curring', inputValue : 'Y', name : 'campaignType' }] }] },Code:
{ xtype : 'fieldcontainer', combineErrors : true, msgTarget : 'qtip', fieldLabel : 'Campaign Type', allowBlank : false, defaults : { hideLabel : true, width : 330 }, items : [ { xtype : 'radiogroup', id : 'requestcampaignTypeRadioGroup', name : 'campaignTypeInd', vertical : true, layout : 'hbox', items : [{ boxLabel : 'Ad-hoc', inputValue : 'N', checked : true, name : 'campaignTypeInd' }, { boxLabel : 'Re-curring', inputValue : 'Y', name : 'campaignTypeInd' }] }] }Code:
{ xtype : 'radiogroup', width : 500, id : 'campaignTypeRadioGroupAS', fieldLabel : 'Campaign Type', labelSeparator : '', labelWidth : 130, labelAlign : 'left', vertical : true, margin : '5 5 3 5', items : [ { boxLabel : 'Ad-Hoc', inputValue : 'N', name : 'campaignType' }, { boxLabel : 'Re-curring', inputValue : 'Y', name : 'campaignType' }, { boxLabel : 'Both', name : 'campaignType', checked : true, ///Need to repalce this with the correct input value inputValue : 'B' } ] }
2) Even after removing the above snippets rendering of the viewport fails with the following message
TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'u.dom')
callee is "doInsert" in the class "Ext.dom.Helper" Called by "append" in the Ext.dom.AbstractHelper called by "render" in the Ext.util.Renderable called by the "constructor" in the Ext.AbstractComponent called by the "callParent" in the "Ext.Base" called by the "constructor" in the Ext.Component

Similar problem with Leaflet Library
I had a similar problem with the minifying process. After creating a production build I always got errors with the Leaflet-Library which uses L as namespace.
After some research I found out that minifying the microloader (in index.html) was the problem. It also used L as variable name, which resulted in complications.
As a workaround I removed the line in Sencha Cmd where the microloader gets minified.
/<Sencha Cmd Verzeichnis>/plugins/touch/current/app-build.js line 362 //content = compressor.compress(content);
I'm not sure if this helps resolving your problem.
21 Dec 2012 5:49 AM #3
Was able to generate classes with uncompressed output but Contollers not found
First tschortsch.
Thanx for your input
After long research found that the sencha and build command had issues with the application workspace generated and not the file structure.
Finally tried out the sencha single page build process using the compile
sencha compile -classpath=ext-4.1/src,app page -in indexOriginal.jsp -out build/index.jsp
1) Layouts used for field containers were never added to concatenated all-classes.js code. Solution used was to add them explicitly using the Ext.require();
2) requires :[] references in the various components created problem in concatenated build as the application creation was done at a later stage. Solution - removed requires references from all models, stores & views.
3) controllers are now not added in the generated all-classes.js - Solution - Not yet found
21 Dec 2012 5:56 AM #4
First tschortsch. Thanx for your input After long research found that the sencha and
Thank you tschortsch your input is valid for touch users. we found that only later. We were using EXTJS.
Like Malliga we also used
sencha compile -classpath=ext-4.1/src,app page -in index.jsp -out build/index.jsp
and found almost the same issues
Sencha Cmd not adding controllers in the concatenated ouput in unbelievable.
out index.jsp looked like this
<!-- <x-compile> --> <!-- <x-bootstrap> --> <script type="text/javascript" src="ext-4.1/ext-all-debug.js"></script> <!-- </x-bootstrap> --> <script type="text/javascript" src="app/app.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="app/all-classes.js"></script> <!-- </x-compile> -->
21 Dec 2012 6:24 AM #5
The metadata generated by the compile command
Tried to see if the metadata generator is able to locate the controllers in the application
sencha compile -classpath=ext-4.1/src,app page -i indexOriginal.jsp -out build/index.jsp and metadata -m -json -o Metadata.json
None of the controllers has been added in the meta-data.
is there a separate command or instruction to do the same.
Dont Controllers also get generated in the all-classes.js??? file
Any help would be greatly appreciated
21 Dec 2012 6:27 AM #6
Found out that the xtype was not determinable by EXTJS for Radio group's child components.
Explicitly added the widget.radio in the Ext.require('') and it started to work fine for the viewport rendering.

Same deal on Amazon already posted here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/d0a66eee-83f6-4951-b778-343a788b6bc8/the-lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-extended-15-disc-blu-ray#19
@zippy the pinhead: that deal's dead. price is now 55.99 on amazon.
amazon deal is still good as I look at it now, 10:20 central time (good for those of us with Prime)
Not dead at best buy. I'm still getting the 39.99 price.
Picked this up at Best Buy a week or so back for $50. YOU SHALL NOT PASS up a good deal like this!
fyi folks, the amazon deal appears to be alive again (for those without a best buy near them):
Still showing the $40 on Amazon for me (with Prime).
I can wait two days. No tax with Amazon (for IL residents anyway). If you have to pay tax, I guess it's a moot point.
@butteredtoast: If you have your receipt, see if you can get a price match refund! (If it hasn't been 30 days!)
Oh come on.... I just paid $50 for this from Overstock. I knew it would go back on sale as soon as I got it.
Watched all 6 discs (2 per movie) this week and boy was it awesome.
For anyone who doesn't mind not having the box set, or the extended editions you can get each of the blu rays for $10 each on amazon.
@newspapercrane: forget that--Target has the individual extended editions on Blu Ray for $10 each this week
@graywh: Target blu ray LOTR @ $9.99 are not the Extended versions. They are the same Theatrical versions as the post above yours at Amazon for the same price....
Disc 1 (Blu-ray):
Theatrical trailers and The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest game trailer (in high definition)
So, to save $10 you are only getting 6 DVDs instead of 15 (9 additional discs!) and the full Extended versions of the movies (in super nice packaging).
The 39.99 set retails for 119.99 (80.00 savings!) where the individual 9.99 movies only retail for 14.99.
@rachelle33: The ones I bought say "Extended Edition", have 2 discs each, list the longer run times, and their non-sale price is $13. I found them on a checkout lane end-cap (they were also in the large cardboard displays for Black Friday). Have yet to find them listed online. I don't care about the extra features and packaging.
Edit: Page 16 of my weekly ad includes a picture of the Fellowship cover in the bottom left corner: dark green background with a large One Ring encircling the movie title. http://weeklyad.target.com/nashville-tn-37205/pages?code=Target-121209&menu_order%5B%5D=2394971#16
More info in case anyone is interested: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=208985
I picked mine up in conjunction with the free $10 when you spend $50 coupon (needed some other stuff) and my 5% Target Visa discount, so I'm going to claim my total for the set was $18.50 plus tax. :)

Sometimes when I melt chocolate in a double boiler it will turn grainy, and melting in a microwave often burns it. What is the best way to melt chocolate to get good, smooth results?
It depends on what you're doing with the chocolate.
If temperature isn't that critical and its going to be mixed into a cake or brownies or such, then do it in the microwave. Its simpler and as long as you don't rush it, its does a good job. Just go 10-20 seconds at a time, in bowl that doesn't hold heat well.
If you need precise temperature controlled chocolate (for tempering perhaps), its best to use a double boiler. The bottom pan just has steaming water - so I never really count that as a dirty dish. With the double boiler, you get several advantages. It won't get any hotter than the water. It its gradual and gentle. And you can monitor and stir as the temperature rises. If it turns grainy, its likely a bit of water dripped in. Depending on the top bowl on the double boiler, its possible to accidentally knock some condensation into the chocolate...and now its toast. I use a top bowl that has a small outer lip on it to keep this from happening.
Melting chocolate in a double boiler is the safest method for melting chocolate, and it's fairly easy. But it makes two pots dirty. I didn't had the problem of it being grainy. So I don't know what to say about that.
Melting chocolate in the microwave oven is faster and requires less dishes, but you have the risk of burning. Therefore, lower the wattage and take it out to stir every 20 seconds. It also continues to melt out of the microwave oven, so you can take it out even when there are still some pieces. They will melt because of the heat of the surroundings. If you see that not everything is going to be melted, pop it back in for ten seconds and stir.
I would advice using the microwave oven (but with reduced power), although most chefs (in their videos at least) use a double broiler.
And a footnote: be very careful with white chocolate. That tends to burn the most easily.
If you are very patient, and chop the chocolate into reasonably small pieces (say a 1/2 inch squares), or use chocolate chips, the microwave at low power is extremely effective.
I put chocolate in on power level 2 on mine -- it takes several minutes at that low level -- and you should stir several times. I do this in a glass bowl, intentionally, so there will be some residual warmth when I take it out. At low power, the risk of burning is insignificant.
By doing this, I can keep chocolate in temper for candy (12 ounces of chocolate and three cups crunchy cereal like corn flakes is wonderful) without all the usual fuss of tempering.
I've been melting chocolate at the lowest position on the induction stove. No double boiler, no nothing. Just the pan, the chocolate, the butter and nº1 on the stove.
As the heat is so low, it will always turn out right.
Edit: And whisk every once in a while. It will lower the temperature.
My favorite way to melt chocolate is to surround a glass bowl with a heating pad.

As you may know, if a system can be written in the form:
$$\dot{\mathbf{x}}= -\bigtriangledown V$$
for some continuously differentiable, single-valued scalar function $V(x)$. such a system is called gradient system with potential function $V$.
The question is that having the gradient system, how can one find its potential function?

|Needed some time at elevation before Rainier so I spent a couple of nights camping near Sonora Pass and decided for a quick 1/2 dayhike up Stanislaus with a 40 lb. pack. Still a lot of snow to traverse, but the summit cap was clear and had some very nice class 3 scrambling.

|Started from the St Mary's Pass TH and booked it to the summit in around 1:20. The trail from the pass to the base of the peak is an easy run, then the final climb is loose. Climbed some class 3 loose rock on the SE face, then descended a scree chute down the ridge directly back to the trail. Not great climbing, but a nice enjoyable day when combined with Sonora Pk.
Haze from the fires still hangs in the valleys and air, limiting the view toward Yosemite. Several large snow patches on the trail, flowers aren't out yet. Register needs a pen(just a peanut butter jar).

|A leisurely paced effort with my dad - spent about 2.5 hours reaching the top, then enjoyed the views of Lyell, Ritter and Banner, and the warm and nearly windless conditions for about 45 minutes. Just enough spice at the top to keep things interesting for this low-end peakbagger.

Came back in Oct 2004 to pad my SPS stats for the year (this was something like SPS peak #107 this year, not counting repeats), and as part of the warm-up for a more ambitious outing out of the Meysan Lake TH the next day.

|What a great way to spend the afternoon! My step-father & I set out from the TH, undecided on doing Sonora or Stanislaus. Once we gained St. Mary's Pass and the first views of the peak, our decision was made - Sonora's too short to bother with by itself (tho it sure looked like it'd be a nice longer hike to do both Sonora & Stanislaus)!), and Stanislaus is by far more peak-like.

|A nice half-day hike combined with Sonora Peak. Surprisingly, still a number of snow patches around, some even south facing. The trail from St. Marys Pass to the Sierra Crest just south of the summit is spectacular. It contours nicely (very gradual ups and downs) high on the east side of the drainage for the Clark Fork. The views are great and no trees to block your line of sight. Plus, there are springs that seem to run year-round crossing the trail, providing reliable water and incredible wildflower displays.

There was a small debate which took place in the comments for podcast #58 regarding linking to an answer (such as MSDN, php.net, or other definitive sources) versus providing it inline. What is the community's position on the proper etiquette here?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
My usual practice is to link to the resource but either quote a short but relevant section (e.g. the "remarks" section of an MSDN page) or praise it. Creating a verbatim copy of a large amount of text is only good in the face of the resource being removed - which I suspect isn't going to happen for MSDN .NET documentation, Wikipedia or JavaDoc as three common examples. (I'm hoping the last MSDN re-org was the last for a while.) However, the document may very well be updated to become more accurate as time goes on. Copying more of a document than could reasonably be called "fair use" could run into legal issues, too.
Where possible add some extra value:
IMO, link to the original source and provide a quote of the text of the relevant section. It saves time for the reader who can then at least decide if the response is relevant before trudging their way through whatever page they land on. It also provides historical context for the original intent of the answerer in case the text on the linked page changes substantially.
Also, links move and no one is perfect when it comes to providing new locations for things. Microsoft often orphaned several help links the last time they reorganized MSDN and it wasn't for lack of trying.
I assume by "another site" you mean in some forum somewhere, rather than on ServerFault, etc.
Personally, when I find the answer to a question in a forum, I do something like this:
Sounds like your problem is X - I found this solution on WebsiteX:
This gives attribution to the original poster on the original site, but provides the answer inline here.
I think the StackOverflow sites should strive to be both authoritative and self-contained.
While a link to a pre-existing answer might be appropriate for "fair use," the most relevant information should be included (an re-authored, where appropriate) as part of a specific and complete answer to question.
I'm not advocating wholesale copy-and-pasting other people's work but a simple link to another site does not bring the content of that site under the scrutiny of the StackOverflow process (voting, comments, etc). I might up-vote a link while not necessarily agreeing with everything on that site. And a comment about the contents of another website would probably be confusing and out of place.

It's been a while since I've started a thread. Here's one that's not earth-shattering, but it might pass the time...
Twenty-one years ago this month, I had to have illeostomy surgery. It was my first operation (except for a chest tube procedure in 1988) and I was very nervous, as was my family. But, it needed to be done, so it was done. I was wheeled into the OR, knocked out, and woke up minus a fair amount of my digestive track. I was very groggy; I noticed three things: I was in an unfamiliar room, my Mom was sitting in front of me, and what I later learned was a nasal-gastric drainage tube had been installed.
"Mom," I asked, "am I on oxygen?"
"No, you're not," she answered.
"So, why the hell have I got this tube in my nose?" I said.
My Mom really needed that laugh at that point.
Your turn...

USDA Announces Recent Animal Welfare Act and Horse Protection Act Enforcement Actions
WASHINGTON, February 14, 2014 --The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is continuing to move swiftly and consistently to take enforcement action in response to animal welfare violations. As part of its effort to make its actions transparent and accessible to the public, APHIS is highlighting enforcement actions taken in response to violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and Horse Protection Act (HPA).
Copies of documents relating to the actions listed below, as well as copies of official warnings, can be viewed at /wps/portal/enforcementactions.
During the month of January, APHIS filed administrative complaints alleging that the following persons violated the AWA or HPA:
HPA Docket No. 14-0057, 14-0058; Timothy Lee Smith and Mark West.
HPA Docket No. 14-0059; Evergeen Horse Farm, Inc.
HPA Docket No. 14-0056; SHOW, Inc.
The following persons entered into pre-litigation settlement agreements (also known as stipulations) in connection with alleged violations of the AWA or HPA:
APHIS Case No. IL130057-AC; Amos and David Diener.
APHIS Case No. CA120772-AC; University of California, Berkeley.
APHIS Case No. DC130005-AC; MedStar Health Research Institute, Inc. a/k/a George Hyman Memorial Research.
APHIS Case No. MO130037-AC; Valente Rios.
APHIS Case No. PA130006-AC; Zoological Society of Pittsburgh.
USDA's administrative law judges and judicial officer issued decisions and orders under the AWA or HPA involving the following persons:
AWA Docket No. 13-0334; Nancy Schulz.
AWA Docket No. 13-0362; Kenneth Schroeder.
AWA Docket No. 14-0023; Beverly Ann Fields d/b/a B & B Kennel.
AWA Docket No. 13-0248; Jambbas Ranch Tours, Inc.
HPA Docket No. 12-0019; Jack G. Heffington.
HPA Docket No. 13-0250; Kasey Kesselring.
HPA Docket No. 13-0231 and 13-0249; James Wayne Dean d/b/a Wayne Dean Stables.
HPA Docket No. 13-0297; Bill Gray.
HPA Docket No. 13-0298; Sandra L. Shumate-Tysor.
HPA Docket No. 13-0296; Tim Gray d/b/a Southern Comfort Facilities.
HPA Docket No. 13-0344; Bradley Davis.
HPA Docket No. 13-0369; Robert Jones.
The AWA requires that minimum standards of care and treatment be provided for certain animals bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. It excludes those animals raised for food or fiber. Persons who operate facilities in these
categories must provide their animals with adequate care and treatment in the areas of housing, handling, sanitation, nutrition, water, veterinary care and protection from extreme weather and temperatures.
To ensure that its licensees are meeting the AWA standards, APHIS inspectors conduct routine, unannounced inspections of all licensed facilities. Violations of the AWA can lead to penalties, including official warnings, civil penalties and license suspensions/revocations. For more information on the inspection and enforcement processes, visit APHIS' animal care website at /wps/portal/aphis/ourfocus/animalwelfare.
The HPA is the federal law that prohibits horses subjected to a practice called soring from participating in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. Soring is a cruel and abusive practice used to accentuate a horse's gait. APHIS works actively with the horse industry to protect against such abuse, ensuring that only sound and healthy horses participate in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. APHIS' ultimate goal is to end the inhumane practice of soring completely.
The HPA authorizes APHIS to issue civil penalties and to disqualify violators from participating in horse shows, exhibitions and sales. Both the AWA and HPA contain criminal penalties as well.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Jack Williams won his number one singles match, but the Charlotte 49ers (2-2) fell on the road at #66 Wake Forest (2-0), 6-1.
"We came out firing in doubles action," Charlotte coach Billy Boykin said. "Our energy was great and it came down to the wire on every court. From a singles standpoint, I thought we were a little flat out there today. We competed hard and ran well, but we committed too many unforced errors and didn't take care of our service games as well as we're capable of doing. Still, Wake Forest is a talented team and they put the pressure on us from the get go - I give credit to them for a strong overall performance. Jack Williams was great for us. He wouldn't go away at number one singles and made some remarkable plays at the end of his match to win at the top."
Wake Forest won all three tightly contested doubles matches to claim the doubles point. At number one doubles, Charlotte's Williams and Forrest Edwards lost to Wake Forest's David Hopkins and Amogh Prabhakar, 8-6. At number two doubles, Charlotte's Alex Calott and Paul Cisti lost to Wake Forest's Jon Ho and Adam Lee, 8-6. At number three doubles, Charlotte's Jordi Massalle Ferrer and Krysztof Kwasniewicz lost to Wake Forest's Anthony Delcore and Morgan Mays, 8-7 (7-2)
Wake Forest won five of the six singles matches to claim the win. At number one singles, Charlotte's Williams defeated Wake Forest's Hopkins, 2-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-8). At number two singles, Charlotte's Edwards lost to the Wake Forest's Prabhakar, who is the 59th ranked player in the country, 6-4, 6-0. At number three singles, Charlotte's Massalle Ferrer lost to Wake Forest's Danny Kreyman, the 90th-ranked player in the nation, 6-2, 6-2. At number four singles, Charlotte's Calott lost to Wake Forest's Ho, 6-1, 6-3. At number five singles, Charlotte's Cisti lost to Wake Forest's Lee, 6-2, 6-2. At number six singles, Charlotte's Nate Shanok lost to Wake Forest's Sam Bloom, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
Charlotte returns to action at 5th -ranked Duke, Sunday, January 20 at 1 pm.

The delivery of our "new" fridge and stove was delayed by a snow storm, but they are now up and running. The extra capacity of the new fridge is amplified by the fact that we still have not gone grocery shopping. That made dinner a bit of a challenge. This is a variation of a recipe my Mom sent me a while ago which fit perfectly with the few things we had.

Cashew and Tofu Stirfry

I'm glad to hear that you got your stove and kitchen finally. I bet that is a relief.
You really did make a fantastic dish using the things you had. I love the lime, cashew, sesame and broccoli combo!

This sounds like a fantastic combination of flavors and textures! I find that the best recipes are those that come from the inspiration of the moment. Attempting to use up whatever ingredients are around usually results in a simple tasty new creation.

Despite my love of cashews I have never been brave enough to add them to a stir fry. Do they hold their texture well and add some crunch? Or do they kind of get softer?
This recipe may make me change my idea of what I am willing to eat in a stir fry though. Looks amazing!

I use raw cashews, which are softer than roasted, but, yes, they do hold their texture (even more so if you roast them). That is why I toss them in at the end so they don't cook too much. They will get softer over time (i.e. your leftovers will not be as crunchy).

Add cashews to anything and I'm there. Yum!

Mmm, that looks tasty and also easy to make. I checked out your 'crispy tofu' recipe and that sounds very easy too. And I love that VH Cherry sauce!

This must have been delicious - I bet there were no leftovers. You take great photos- love the image of you styling your photo shoots on your ironing board ;-)

I tried this recipe out, and I found that the sauce mixture was much too liquidy. I tried adding only a fraction of it and the result was still very runny and not very sauce-like. I ended up with kind of a soggy batch of vegetables - it was still good, though. Is there something I could have done to make the sauce thicker?

Morsel Kombat: If the sauce is too runny, add more cornstarch (dissolve it first into some water, then slowly add until you get the consistency you want). Usually about 1 tbsp per 1 cup of liquid works out just right (which is the ratio I used here), but you can adjust to suit your needs.

I made this last week. It was delicious! I ate all the leftovers I had 3 days in a row, I didnt get tired of it. The flavors were immense!

I just made this and it was amazing! I didn't add the cashews however because they aren't the best nut for you. Also, because of lack of ingredients, I didn't add pepper or ginger either. I served the dish on top of brown rice and with some vegetable dumplings on the side. I love your recipes, they are always so adaptable. If I don't have a few ingredients it can always be substituted and still delicious. Thanks Vegan Dad!
