Pat, this is an outstanding recipe! It is so easy and quick to make and tastes lovely!
The pumpkin (I used hokkaido squash) goes great with the rosemary and parmesan cheese and the walnuts add such a great crunch on top.
I loved the flavour of this savoury loaf and will surely make this often again during this fall.
I only had dried rosemary on hand, so I used 2 ts of that, but will only use 1 1/2 ts next time as I found it a little too prominent.
Also I would suggest adding the topping after half the baking time or covering the loaf with the topping already applied as mine got quite dark and I had to scrape some off.
Other than that though I really enjoyed this recipe and so did my family! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing another winner with us, Pat!
Made and reviewed for PRMR September 2010.
Wow Pat you have out done yourself with this one! This is fantastic and will be making often this winter. The tasty combo of rosemary, parmesan, walnuts mixed into a savory squash bread makes this the tastiest of treats all on its own, but pairs beautifully with other foods such as soup or roasted veggie dinner. Made using butternut squash which I did not mash to much as want to be able to see pieces in the bread and used the olive oil option. Would not change a thing. Thanks for the post.
Thank you for a really outstanding recipe. I joined Food.com just to be able to rate it! My second loaf is in the oven as I type!

CBO Stunner: Kerry-Boxer Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act cuts the deficit
Guest Blogger Daniel J. Weiss is a Senior Fellow and Director of Climate Strategy at American Progress.
The Congressional Budget Office – the arbiter of the federal budget impact of all legislation – just released an analysis that the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, S. 1733,
"… would reduce budget deficits (or increase future surpluses) by about $21 billion over the 2010-2019 period"¦ In years after 2019, direct spending would be less than the net revenues attributable to the legislation in each of the 10-year periods following 2019. Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting S. 1733 would not increase the deficit in any of the four 10-year periods following 2019."
This is crucial given that the annual budget deficit has exploded due to spending for two wars, prevention of the financial system collapse, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which has created thousands of jobs during this horrible recession that begun during President George W. Bush's last year in office.
Obviously, the projected $21 billion budget cut pales in comparison to the $1.2 trillion deficit. Nonetheless, this cut is another benefit of legislation that would create clean energy jobs, reduce oil use, and global warming pollution. Despite false attacks by ex Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, this clean energy and global warming bill is "cap and cut," not "cap and tax."
This clean energy bill, sponsored by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA), is modeled on the American Clean Energy and Security Act, H.R. 2454, which passed the House of Representatives on June 26, 2009. CBO determined that H.R. 2454 "would reduce would reduce future budget"¦.by about $9 billion over the 2010-2019 period." In other words, S. 1733 would make a twice as big cut in the deficit compared to its House companion. This is primarily due to the more ambitious pollution cuts under S. 1733, which lead to slight higher allowance prices.
Both bills have provisions to contain costs if allowance prices should rise too high. Under H.R. 2454, the cost containment measures would take effect if allowance prices reached $38 per ton in 2020 (for example, using CBO projections for estimate.) The cost containment provisions in S. 1733 would begin in 2020 if allowance prices reach $44 per ton plus inflation from 2011-2020. In other words, CBO predicts that the price of pollution allowances would be far below the level set for cost containment measures.
CBO Estimates of Greenhouse Gas Allowance Prices
There are other significant findings in the CBO analysis. The analysis debunks many claims made by critics of the bill.
- CLAIM: S. 1733 would cover thousands and thousands of small industrial and business facilities.
CBO FOUND: "About 7,400 facilities would be covered by the cap and trade program established by the bill."
- CLAIM: It does not cover enough U.S. pollution.
CBO FOUND: "The programs would cover about 72 percent of U.S. emissions of GHGs [greenhouse gases] in 2012″¦and about 86 percent in 2020."
- CLAIM: It would not achieve significant pollution reductions by 2020.
CBO FOUND: "By 2019, covered entities would undertake significantly more mitigation than necessary to meet their annual emission caps" due to the provision that allows "banking" of pollution allowances.
- CLAIM: The bill would lead to too many domestic and international offsets rather than reductions in pollution from industrial sources.
CBO FOUND: "Covered entities would use domestic offsets to substitute for about 300 million allowances in 2012 and nearly 400 million allowances by 2020″¦Covered entities would use international offsets in lieu of about 200 million allowances in 2012 and in lieu of about 300 million allowances in 2020. " This is about 25 percent of the potential allowances in 2012, and slight more than one-third allowed in 2020.
The bottom line from this CBO analysis is that the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act would:
- cut the federal budget deficit;
- have relatively low clean up costs;
- apply to only a limited number of very large polluters but most of the pollution; and,
- lead to meaningful, real pollution reductions from these sources rather than primarily relying on offsets.
This bill is an effective platform to build on as Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Lindsay Graham (R-SC), and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) build clean energy and global warming legislation to bring to the Senate floor. S. 1733 is also another signal to the international community that the U.S. is serious about achievement of real reductions in its global warming pollution.
7 Responses to CBO Stunner: Kerry-Boxer Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act cuts the deficit
But the Kerry/Graham/Lieberman "framework"–which promises additional billions for the nuclear power, oil, and coal industries–would likely increase the deficit rather than reduce it. This bill is likely to get much worse from here on out, rather than better, and likely will become unsupportable for many of us who would like to see a genuine climate bill. Emulating the Bush Administration's giveaways to giant energy interests is not the path to a climate solution…..
Surely the logic of the situation is to ask, if targets etc were more aggressive, could the deficit be reduced even further?
Tom Bennion, # 2: A good question and my humble opinion is that it surely would. Just as I have no doubt that once we get started down the path of sustainability numerous other avenues of prosperity, unimagined today, will bubble forth.
Is "cap and save" a better tag line than "cap and cut?" Cut without a noun is just a little vague and scary.
Dropping support for nuclear power and CCS would save more I would guess but it is pretty obvious that favoring domestic energy supplies should boost revenue and renewable supplies most of all.
Great! Now watch Lieberman "I really am a democrat" filabuster. Either that or he'll make sure all his special interests get subsidies at the cost of the american taxpayer.

OK, if this is what they call "debunking", perhaps the term means something different to the CBO than it does to Marriam&Webster.

Tulane hires Saints assistant Johnson as coach
Published: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 10:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 5, 2011 at 10:53 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane has hired Saints wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson as the new head coach of the Green Wave.
The university scheduled a formal announcement Monday afternoon, but several Saints players including Drew Brees said late Sunday that they've already been informed of Johnson's impending move from the Saints to Tulane.
"He's coached a lot of big-time players and he's been around a lot of big-time football," Brees said. "He's great for Tulane's program and the direction they want to go. They got a great coach in Curtis Johnson."
Johnson was on the sideline with the Saints on Sunday night for their win over the Detroit Lions.
Tulane is hoping Johnson, a New Orleans native who has been with the Saints since 2006, can turn around a program that has not been to a bowl since 2002.
The Green Wave has gone 31-76 since then, not winning more than five games in any of the past nine seasons.
In October, coach Bob Toledo resigned with a 15-40 record in four-and-a-half seasons.
Johnson played college football at Idaho. He later held assistant positions at several college programs, and recruiting was among his specialties.
After getting his first college job at Idaho in 1987, he moved to San Diego State from 1989-93, recruiting New Orleans native Marshall Faulk to the Aztecs.
After single seasons at SMU and California, he spent 10 seasons with the Miami Hurricanes, during which time he coached Andre Johnson, Santana Moss and Reggie Wayne.
Saints receivers said they would miss the coach who has shaped their careers in New Orleans.
"It definitely will be hard to see him go, but I'm definitely happy for him. It's just a great opportunity that he has to take advantage of," Marques Colston said. "He'll be great for the program. Just the energy and enthusiasm he brings from day to day, and he has a track record as a good recruiter. I think it will be a good fit."
Lance Moore called Johnson, "the ultimate players' coach."
"Some people might think he's a little different or unorthodox, but at the same time he's an awesome motivator, knows the game and played the game himself," Moore said. "I definitely see him getting those guys (at Tulane) right over there."

Very nice! I actually threw all the ingredients in some aluminum foil, wrapped it tightly and put it on the grill for about 15 minutes until done to perfection. We ate them atop burgers with cheddar cheese. I used basil & oregano flavored balsamic, so I didn't add any extra oregano. Thanks for sharing! Made for Veggie Swap July 2010.
Great mushrooms! These were flavorful and very easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 49
These were very good tasting mushrooms! I loved the balsamic taste to them. I used white button mushrooms since that's all the store had. Delicious!! Made for PAC Spring 2012.

BOSTON -- On the first day of training camp for the Boston Bruins, the team announced center Marc Savard would not be participating for the time being because of post-concussion syndrome.
Savard suffered a Grade 2 concussion March 7 when he was on the receiving end of a blindside hit by the Penguins' Matt Cooke. Savard missed nearly two months and finally returned to action in time for the Bruins' Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Savard spoke with Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli late this summer and informed him of his condition and symptoms. Savard is with the team and is being treated accordingly, but he won't be skating until he's cleared to play. He also met with the team's medical staff Friday, but there's no timetable on his return.
"He's in good spirits," Chiarelli said Friday. "I've talked to him and met with him again. He's anxious to get back, we're just being very cautious. We'll take it day by day.
"Anytime there's this reoccurrence there's concern, but he's a very durable guy. He's played hurt in the past. He wants to come back and we want him to be healthy."
Chiarelli said that prior to the recent symptoms, the specifics of which he did not disclose, Savard was training hard during the offseason with his personal trainer and felt fine.
"It's unfortunate," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Right now we're missing a real good player, a player we want to see back in our lineup. Those are things we can't control and we have to move on without him for the time being."
Bruins teammate Patrice Bergeron suffered a Grade 3 concussion and missed the majority of the 2007 season, but after he returned to the ice the next season never suffered a setback. Bergeron was quick to point out Friday morning that each concussion is different.
"To be honest, I don't know enough about Savvy's situation to comment on it," Bergeron said. "My support is there for him, I'm behind him. We just want him to feel better and get well."
With Savard out, it will give younger centers an opportunity to showcase their abilities. Boston's top pick, Tyler Seguin, will be moved from the wing to the center position, something he told the coaching staff he is comfortable with.
"He's going to start at center now," Chiarelli said. "I suspect any time missed from camp for Savvy will have to be made up from a pure conditioning [standpoint] to catch up. We'll take it day by day and we're looking at other lineups now with and without Savvy."
Savard has not worked out in the past few weeks due to his symptoms. He posted 10 goals and 23 assists for 33 points in 41 games for the Bruins last season.
"It's pretty unanimous in our group that we want him back as soon as possible," Julien said. "We know the impact that he can have on a game. We hope that it gets taken care of and that he comes back in great health soon."

A father accused of failing to ensure his then 15-year-old
daughter attended school has blamed the board of trustees for
not trying to resolve her difficulties.
The girl, who is now 16, attended Wairarapa's Kuranui College
but frequently failed to attend school last year, which led
to her parents facing a rare charge under the Education Act.
Parents or carers are legally responsible for ensuring their
children between the ages of 6 to 16 attend school.
Appearing today in Masterton District Court, the father of
the girl, who cannot be named, said the school's board of
trustees and the school had never contacted him or the girl's
mother despite their reservations over her truancy.
He said his daughter had a number of health issues such as
self-harming yet the school had never sent a letter or made a
phone call to try to resolve the situation.
"This incident is so serious that this is the first charge in
35 years, and I believe that if we'd been called before the
board of trustees or school they would see the problems that
we have with our daughter," he said.
"They don't understand any of it."
The school has said it communicated with the family by
sending letters as well as making contact through community
agency intervention.
The girl's father said the case had cost his family a
substantial amount of money and emotional turmoil.
It had compromised the health of the girl's mother, who had
been suffering from stress for the past two years and had to
give up her job.
Defence lawyer Louise Elder told Judge Susan Thomas the girl
had now finished school and was not due to return to the
education system.
"It seems pointless from a practical point of view to carry
on [with the case] when the child is no longer in the
system," she said.
Lawyer James Elliot, who was representing the school, said
the board were required under the Education Act to pursue
legal action and there were "no winners".
Judge Thomas said it would be surprising if there had been no
"It would seem somewhat unusual if there has been no
discussion before formal charges were laid."
Judge Thomas adjourned the case until March to allow further
discussion by the school's board of trustees.
If convicted the parents of the child could face a fine of
$300, which could potentially increase to $3000 for
subsequent offences.

The PID file for a ruby process I have running as a daemon is getting the wrong PID. It appears that running
/etc/init.d/sinatra start creates two processes -
sh and
ruby, and the PID that ends up in the PID file is that of the
sh process. This means that when I then run
/etc/init.d/sinatra stop or
/etc/init.d/sinatra restart, it is killing sh and leaving the ruby process still running.
I'd like to know a) why is my script launching two processes - sh and ruby, and not just ruby, and b) how do I fix it to just launch ruby?
Details of the setup:
I have a small Sinatra server set up on an ubuntu server, running as a daemon. It is set to automatically at server startup run a script named
sinatra in
/etc/init.d that launches the a control script
control.rb, which then runs a ruby daemon command to start the server. The script is run under the 'sinatrauser' account, which has permissions for the directories the script needs.
contents of /etc/init.d/sinatra
# sinatra Startup script for Sinatra server.
sudo -u sinatrauser ruby /var/www/sinatra/control.rb $1
exit $RETVAL
To install this script, I simply copied it to
/etc/init.d/ and ran
sudo update-rc.d sinatra defaults
contents of /var/www/sinatra/control.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'daemons'
pwd = Dir.pwd
Daemons.run_proc('sinatraserver.rb', {:dir_mode => :normal, :dir => "/opt/pids/sinatra"}) do
exec 'ruby /var/www/sinatra/sintraserver.rb >> /var/log/sinatra/sinatraOutput.log 2>&1'
portion of output from ps -A
6967 ? 00:00:00 apache2
10181 ? 00:00:00 sh <--- PID file gets this PID
10182 ? 00:00:02 ruby <--- Actual ruby process running Sinatra
12172 ? 00:00:00 sshd
The PID file gets created in
/opt/pids/sinatra/sinatraserver.rb.pid, and always contains the PID of the sh instance, which is always one less than the PID of the ruby process
EDIT: I tried micke's solution, but it had no effect on the behavior I am seeing.
This is the output from
ps -A f. This output looks the same whether I use
sudo -u sinatrauser ... or

By surrendering any semblance of rationality to create a post-Freudian, pulp-fiction fever dream of a movie, Mr. Lynch ends up shooting the moon with Mulholland Drive.
Not just everything you want in a David Lynch movie, but damn near everything else you want in ANY movie.
Lynch's Hollywood is a grand old girl, but she's one with some very treacherous curves. To trace the contours of her sensuality, you need a camera as sensitive as a set of fingertips. Lynch's is.
It will frustrate viewers who like stories to make instant sense, but fans of provocative puzzles will have mind-teasing fun.
It's a lush, lovely dreamscape of a movie, steeped in familiar vernacular (film noir), yet capable of shooting off in totally unfamiliar, surreal directions.
Mulholland Drive is an extended mood opera, if you want to put an arty label on incoherence.

May 22, 2015I was hesitant coming into this one as my only prior exposure to David Lynch was Wild at Heart, which I completely despised. However, this oneI was hesitant coming into this one as my only prior exposure to David Lynch was Wild at Heart, which I completely despised. However, this one is decidedly better and most certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon it. Featuring a great starring turn from the always stellar Naomi Watts and great direction from Lynch, Mulholland Dr seems to be great proof that Lynch hates his audience and typical storytelling conventions, which make for a great combination in this film. One of the most confusing puzzles I have ever come across in film, Mulholland Dr has some seriously great writing and manages to have numerous moving parts that it brings together quite nicely. Not all the pieces fit and it is hard to determine what the puzzle is actually of, but there's an answer somewhere. What the answer is, I have no idea, because I have no idea what I do not know at this point. The film really manages to set you up nicely and the pull the rug right out from under you with constant twists and turns that you do not expect that makes coming to a conclusion about what you just witnessed all the more difficult. All I know is that something sinister is afoot in Hollywood in this film that feels like a nightmare from beginning to end.
The best conclusion I can come up with is just a fragment of a singular conclusion. For one, it is certainly a comment on people coming to Hollywood who are entirely idealistic and how Hollywood corrupts them, messes with their mind, and makes them entirely jaded. In Hollywood, things seem to happen at random, but rather, they are controlled by a single entity who oversees everything and determines who will have success and who will not have success. The haves and have nots are ultimately determined by who gives in to those in power. If you do, your wildest dreams will come true. However, at the end of the day, to me the key to unlocking this box (lol) is Club Silencio. From that moment in the film on, things certainly take a turn and to fully understand this one, I think that serves as a good starting point. The answer is somewhere there, but what the answer is, I have no idea.
Ultimately, Mulholland Dr is a fun film to sit down and try to dissect. It's a beautiful work that deserves the praise it has received in spades and will certainly be a film that keeps me thinking for a while after its ending.… Expand
Feb 26, 2016This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first movie review on metacritc and I've decided to do a movie which didn't impress me at all. Watching movies like Primer, Momento, Triangle, and Pulp Fiction I was recommended by a friend to watch this movie. So I did watch it, and I had high expectations for it because everyone was praising this movie as a masterpiece so my standard for this movie was 9/10.
So after watching this movie (with an open mind and watching all the details.) I thought to myself. "what the hell did I just watch?" The movie was so weird after the 1 hour and 55 minute mark that it was confusing but in a terrible way. Scenes didn't make sense, transitions were awful and abrupt that I couldn't tell what if it was a "flashback" or if it was real life. The movie asked more questions then rather just answered them. If David Lynch could have executed these scenes a lot better instead of adding nonsense scenes in the first part of the film this movie could have been a lot better. And it seems that David Lynch has never had a dream before because half the time Rita was focused in the first 80% of the film. And since it's Diane's dream... wouldn't the dream be in Diane/Betty's prospective because it's her dream and not Rita's?
The problem with this movie is that it couldn't make it's point clear like the other movies I have watched, (momento, triangle, primer all had moral elements that were clear to the audience.) This movie relied on too many symbols and elements that can only be caught in a 3rd time viewing this movie. But Naomi's Acting was amazing and I found the "dream's plot" somewhat interesting but after Rita looked in the Blue Box... all hell went loose and that's why this movie deserves a 5/10. I would recommend if you are a David Lynch fan but if you are looking for a causal mind twisting movie.. then skip it.… Expand

Very low levels are expected for 25 Juy-04 August. A return to low levels with a chance for M-class flaring is expected for 05-13 August with the return of Regions 2565 and 2567. No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels on 18-19, 23-27 July, and again on 05-13 August due to recurrent CH HSS activity. Normal to moderate levels are expected for the remaining forecast period. Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on 19-20, 22-24, 28, 30 July and on 03-08, 10-11 August with G1 (Minor) storm levels likely on 03-04 and 08 August due to recurrent CH HSS activity. A CME associated with the 17 July long-duration C1 flare is likely to arrive early on 21 July causing unsettled to active levels.

This plugin is the PERFECT plugin for my site. Instead of using coupon codes, I am considering using this to supply promotional MMORPG game serial codes given to me by the game distributors.
I do have some suggestions because, while it works perfectly, it feels a bit "bloated."
Is there any way that instead of producing a PDF file, that the coupon/serial/voucher can be viewed directly on the page that they clicked?
Also, is there a way to set a custom "Sorry, but this promotion has expired" type message? As it stands now, once you click a promotion link, you are brought to a blank, non-wordpress html page that shows "Sorry, that item has run out." While it's a good start, it would be great if it used a WordPress template/theme page so it shows the user that they still are on the same site.
All in all, this is a great plugin. I would definitely use this if you could choose between on-screen/page and PDF delivery.

Delectable Morning Muffins
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 25 mins
Created for RSC #13. These muffins are healthy, delicious, not very sweet, and the spices are just the right amounts. Can be eaten warm or cold. Great with butter and apricot jam!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup canned pumpkin, drained (put in a sieve over a bowl)
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄2 cup oil (not olive)
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunk, chopped smaller (leave in a sieve over a bowl to drain but keep the juice)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder (not soda)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cardamom seed (or use 1 t ground)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1 teaspoon ginger, ground
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- Grease a 12-hollow muffin pan with butter. Set oven at 350 deg F or 180 deg Celsius. If you have a convection (fan) oven it's better to use slightly lower heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk or beat very well together: the pumpkin, peanut butter, honey, oil and eggs. (If you grease the measuring spoon and cup with a little oil it is easier to measure and the peanut butter and honey will slide out).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a separate, large bowl, from the flour on down to the sugar, including the spices. Stir well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon until just mixed and no dry bits remain. Fold in the chopped pineapple.
- (If you find the batter is too firm, add a little of the saved pineapple juice to the batter. However, the batter must be soft and sticky, but just firm enough to hold its shape).
- With a tablespoon, drop the batter into the greased muffin hollows. You can add heaped tablespoons slightly higher than the hollows. The batter will spread as it bakes.
- Bake for 23 - 25 minutes in the centre of the oven, until puffed and golden brown. Turn out on to wire rack to cool.
- Serving suggestion: you could mix cinnamon with confectioner's sugar and sift it over the muffins, OR simply serve as is, with butter and jam.

I have this in the oven now so will have to edit review after tasting but this is a great and versatile recipe - I used pear as I had no pineapple and used the juice instead of oil. Very easy to do and I am looking forward to sampling the end product. Edited after tasting - very good - peanut butter was the overpowering taste but that was fine for our family.
Moist muffins with a great texture. The flavor was a tad off...I think it might have been the peanut butter, but I'm not sure. I used an 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple, undrained. The batter is thick and fluffy and easily filled 18 muffin cups. They are not very sweet, but could be made sweeter with some jam or fruit preserves spread on them. They make a good morning muffin; I just need to figure out which ingredient needs to be left out or replaced. Made for RSC #13. Good luck, Chef.
I did not use oil eighter, i used the juice from the canned pinapple chunks. I also got 18 muffins which I baked for 25 minutes at 320°. Next time i will use roasted peanuts instead of peanutbutter. This is a great recipe if you want a healthy treat, thank you!

HackerTarget.com LLC Launches new layout and updated security testing tools
The leading provider of hosted open source security testing tools HackerTarget.com LLC, has redeveloped their existing website and added features to the established tool collection.
Aug. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- HackerTarget.com LLC, has today relaunched a newer more streamlined version of its online security testing portal. In conjunction with the redevelopment a number of new features have been added to the existing vulnerability scanners.
The companies lead analyst advised that following an update to the online port scanner results are now delivered both in raw text as well as a HTML based layout. Peter advised that this new format can provide more clarity to the end user about exactly what ports were discovered and the potential security risks associated with the available services.
Redevelopment of the existing website was initiated, following feedback from users of the site. It was not clear to some exactly what services were available for Free and what was included in the enhanced membership based services. "The new design is a lot cleaner and we hope this will provide a more seamless experience for our users", commented Peter. In the end we want users from a range of technical backgrounds and abilities to have easy access to advanced security scanning tools.
Open source security tools are at the leading edge of vulnerability focused security testing. Examples of highly respected tools that continue to innovate even though they have been in professional usage for over 10 years include the Nmap port scanner and the Nikto web server testing tools. While other tools such as the comprehensive OpenVAS vulnerability scanner, a fork of the original Nessus tool undergoes continual development and has recently been updated to version 5.
Over the past 5 years HackerTarget.com has been offering an Nmap based port scanner, that anyone can use to test an external facing IP address for listening services and firewall mis-configurations. In addition to the port scanner, HackerTarget.com LLC now offers a suite of 12 different security scanners. During that time over 250'000 vulnerability testing scans have been performed.

I cut the olive oil in half, and didn't have any scallions. It seemed very thin, so I added 2 tbsp. flour at the end to thicken the sauce. I served it with penne and broccoli. Out of 4 of us, 1 thought it was a bit too spicy, 2 loved it, and 1 who doesn't like shrimp loved it. A quick, tasty keeper!
Very tasty, and very easy to make. I halved the oil and didn't have lime juice on hand (wish that I had!). Thanks!

text: I am both a Canadian Country and a Gospel singer. I grew up listening to both genres and they both have influenced my life tremendously. It was just back in the summer of 2011 that I got up on an open mic stage (scared to death) to sing. It was my first time really ever singing on a stage in front of a lot of people, other than church. Since then I have sung on numerous Jamboree stages and I released my first cd "Take This Heart in 2012. I co-wrote and recorded a Christmas song with Brett McNaueal and Rick Hodgson for the "Christmas From Home" 2013 Troops CD that was distributed to our fine Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans. Recently I just finished writing my first gospel/christian song that I believe is God inspired. It comes from a very deep, personal time in my life that God has helped me through. I'm excited about recording it in the very near future. I am Thankful to God for all the Blessings that He has so graciously bestowed on me and grateful for the loving support of my husband and family.

How to Install a LCD Projector?
LCD projectors for computers have become a popular tool for office use. They are a great way to share presentations and other information from your computer with a large group. Although they might look a little complicated to set up or use, the projectors are hooked up in a similar fashion to regular monitors.
- Make certain the power to your computer and the LCD projector is off. This will avoid any potential damage from electrical shorts in either piece of equipment while hooking everything up.
- Remove the cord that goes to your monitor from the back of your computer.
- Insert the monitor cable that came with the LCD projector into the appropriate port on the projector. This cable will be similar to the VGA cable that you use with your monitor (for desktops).
- Insert the opposite end into the monitor cable port on the back of your computer.
- Plug the LCD projector power cord into a power outlet. Because of the expense involved with LCD projectors, use a good surge protector.
- Turn the projector on and let it warm up for a couple of minutes before turning on the computer. You should see a blank blue screen projection with a minimal amount of text indicating that the projector is searching for input or a manufacturer's logo. If you don't see anything, make certain the lens cap has been removed from the projector lens. Use the adjustable legs on the bottom of the projector to raise or lower it to the appropriate height.
- Turn your computer on. If the image does not appear on the screen or wall, try pressing the "Function" (Fn) and "F8" keys simultaneously for laptops or the "Control" (Ctrl) and "F8" keys for desktop computers. This step usually works to force the computer to recognize the LCD projector. If this fails to work, you might need to reattach your monitor and install any necessary drivers. Make certain to contact the manufacturer's customer service line with any issues and questions.
- Shut down or log off your computer first, when you've finished using the projector. Turn off the projector, but leave it plugged in for a few minutes in case the fan needs to continue running to cool it down. Remove the cable from the back of your computer or laptop and reattach the cable for your regular monitor.
Tips & Warnings
- Make certain the LCD projector is stabilized on a flat surface to avoid it being knocked over easily.
- If you have to use some other object to adjust the height, be sure that nothing is blocking the fan or lens.
How to Connect a Projector to an LCD TV?
- Connect an LCD TV to a projector with a standard video cable.
Setting up a projector with an LCD TV requires a standard video cable and a TV set with output jacks to transfer the video signal from the television to the projector. The LCD TV's built-in speakers can be used for audio, or the TV can be connected to a home theater receiver with attached stereo or surround sound speakers. The cable connection takes only a few seconds.
- Check the back of the projector to determine the best connection to use. An S-video port is round, with four pin holes inside and three notches around the outer edge. RGB video jacks are red, green and blue, and will deliver a superior image over S-video. The LCD TV should be equipped with both types of connection jacks so choosing a cable depends on the projector.
- Connect an S-video cable from the LCD TV to the port on the back of the projector. The plug inserts in one direction only, so take care to align the four pins in the plug with the four holes in the port.
- Connect an RGB video cable by matching the red, green and blue plugs to the Video OUT ports on the TV and the Video IN ports on the projector.
- Turn on the equipment and press the "Output" button on the TV remote control until the signal appears from the projector onto the screen.
Tips & Warnings
- Use the TV's built-in speakers or connect the set to an AV receiver for audio. The S-video and RGB connections supply picture only.
- Unplug the components from the electricity while connecting video cables.

Second Chance at Love: NeNe Leakes to Get RemarriedSunny Chanel
NeNe Leakes had been a member of a growing and popular club—the Real Housewives divorce club. Bethenny Frankel, Countess LuAnn, Tamra Barney, and Camille Grammer are just some of the divorces that have transpired during the run of the uber-successful reality TV show. But not all the relationships end forever. This week the Real Housewives of Atlanta star announced that she is getting remarried to her ex Gregg Leakes.
"I've known Gregg since 1996 and I never really wanted to divorce Gregg. I believe that as women, you have to stand for something or fall for anything, and I think that we teach men how to treat us. And I had to stand, honey!" NeNe explained to Andy Cohen. "Take it for what it's worth."
As for the wedding, it will be BIG. "The first time we got married it was a big wedding," said NeNe Leakes on the Wendy Williams Show. "Now that I am the fabulous NeNe Leakes, honey it will be bigger." But she isn't giving any details, it looks like she is keeping all the deets on the down-low for special coverage on Bravo. Will we see a wedding episode on Real Housewives of Atlanta? Of course we will!

My friend and I stayed here for 6 nights in early December. The staff was extremely pleasant and courteous, willing to do anything we wanted to help make our stay enjoyable. The location is a 2 minute walk to the beach and there are several stores and places to eat all within walking distance. There was some construction going on, but how can you complain about someone who is making improvements? It had no effect on our stay. I would stay here again for sure.
