Co-op Graduate: A co-op student is certified as a co-op graduate upon graduation if he or she has completed at least 3 alternating co-op work terms or 6 concurrent work terms and meets the degree requirement
Additional Degree Requirements for Co-op Graduates:
A B.S.E. cooperative engineering student graduate completes all degree requirements of the B.S.E. graduate, plus 10 additional hours in Engineering 390r, Cooperative Seminar.
Engineering Curricula
Engineering Fundamentals: The engineering fundamental courses equip the student with an understanding of engineering economic analysis, statistical analysis tools, and strong decision making skills as well as basic engineering science knowledge. Laboratories develop an understanding of engineering instrumentation, experimental techniques, and fundamental principles. Written and oral communication is emphasized throughout the curriculum. The engineering design experiences begin with freshmen team design projects, are continued throughout the curriculum, and culminate in a two-semester industry-supported interdisciplinary design project. The study of the computer and its applications is integrated throughout the curricula.
B.S.E. Programs: UTC has four program specialties:
Engineering: Chemical
Engineering: Civil
Plus separate electrical and mechanical programs
Each program offers specific upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses that provide learning opportunities to support the skill and knowledge needs of a graduate of that program. Each program is governed by its own mission and set of program objectives. Students in each engineering program take a selection of additional engineering fundamentals courses (at least 7 hours) and at least 30 specialty course hours to complete their program. The descriptions and requirements of each program follow the description of the engineering curricula and fundamental courses.
Curricula Structure: The engineering curricula is highly structured. The typical engineering course has one or more prerequisites, which must be completed before enrollment in that engineering course. Additionally, some engineering courses have corequisites, which must be taken simultaneously with the engineering courses. It is expected that laboratory courses will be taken simultaneously with the related lecture courses. The structured nature of the engineering curriculum makes it advisable that students see a faculty advisor in their selected specialty prior to each registration. Typical courses of study have been prepared for each specialty, and may be obtained from the faculty advisor.
The faculty who support the various engineering specialties also teach the engineering fundamentals courses.
To obtain the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree, each student must complete the following curriculum.
- General Education (see approved courses)
- Each engineering student must complete the following general education sequences:
- Rhetoric and Composition: Two approved courses in rhetoric and composition (6 hours)

| The "I got bingo-ed" threadPosted by juliewashere88
not a long time ago, when i had too much time on my hands, i decided to research about how local doctor in my place reacts to voluntary sterilization in childless people. i decided to go anonymous and ask a columnist ob-gyn in a health section of large national web i posed as 27 yrs old married woman Q: i am 27 yrs old married woman. my husband and i have decided that we don't want kids at all, so i'd like to undergo sterilization. is it possible? A: weird, you haven't had any child yet, why would you want to be sterilized? permanent sterilization is also expensive! um...because i mentioned firsthand that we don't want kids, at all? okay, probably my fault for trolling a health board. i get the idea now. i wish someday when i truly need it i could find a liberal minded ob gyn without having to travel abroad...although it is highly unlikely.
Passive-aggressive bingoes are the worst, imo. My uncle-in-law is very wealthy. He's been through some horrible things and has worked hard all his life to get to where he is, so I respect him on that basis. Unfortunately, he's also got a trophy wife and two sons who are spoiled brats: the kind with limited edition sports cars with custom paint jobs being held in storage for them even though they're only 9 and 11. Some time last year, we were all out for dinner and I was discussing my frustration with how difficult it is to find work after graduating. Employers these days only seem to care about work experience, and we all know that there are fewer jobs than there are graduates. In any case, he said, "You don't want kids, right?" (common knowledge). When I confirm this, he says, "Ok, because raising children is the most important career". My immediate thoughts? Well, I suppose doctors and engineers, as well as countless others, must really feel so very inadequate, then; and, okay, let me just find someone as rich as you, and then I can have this "important" career, too.
My wife and I like to play online video games. Nowadays, they have all sorts of "chat" built into the games, so one is often subjected to background noises - including bitching partners, screaming kids, etc. Also, members of a group often have to break off due to "the kids getting home" or diaper duty, or other such (these duties are sometimes paired with a complaint.) When this happens, it is my chance to bring out the "my wife is fixed" line, in the context of how I fought hard for her right to get "fixed", ran around and mowed lawns for the money (not really, but I did do all the paperwork - haha!), etc, all so that we could spend our time together and not have unpleasant duties and expenses drag us down (this is absolutely true.) The ensuing conversations are often very interesting, and quite diverse ;D I do a bit more than most of the CF that I have seen so far in that I advocate strongly, in many media, for reduction in human numbers, and I try to tailor the arguments to the specific group. For instance, right-wing nutjobs are very receptive to having people who breed pay more of their kids' way (for schools, busses, etc) than you might think, and resent the breeders always passing higher proerty taxes to fund their litters. The "green" connection is obvious - and so on.
When I was still an avid Monster Hunter Tri player, I used to hunt with a couple of guys that had kids. They've long disappeared though. I wonder why... It's pretty damn sad when gamers go breeder. My Game Informer magazines show me that. We don't need MORE people on the planet, we need BETTER people. "I don't have pet peeves, I have major, psychotic fucking hatreds." — George Carlin
Gives a whole new meaning to respawning. ---------- michaela "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." -Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal
Wrong! THIS is why: We need that as an emoticon, pretty please?
OMG I have found a new home in this forum!!!! I am a newbie....a 28 year old single woman, successful career as an actuarial consultant in the heart of downtown Toronto, closing on my penthouse condo in a month, going on a caribbean cruise to celebrate my first home purchase the following month, enjoys a glass of expensive wine in peace and solitude every evening, and most importantly DO NOT WANT CHILDREN EVER!!! That said, I'm admittedly shy in real life and non-confrontational. This colleague of mine, 27 year old who is pregnant with her 5th child constantly tells me smugly...'Oh you WILL get pregnant one day, you WILL have a child whether you like it or not' with a constant smirk on her face...loves to tell me my tropical holidays abroad and my purchase of Tiffany's jewelry will end once I'm knocked up. And she tells me all this with a piercing stare in her eyes. She flips her jewelry in my face like some sort of award but we all know that without her rich hubby she never would have bought it in the first place. Yea Like I said, normally I just laugh it off and try to avoid confrontation but ready for her constant badgering that I WILL get pregnant to stop (not even a 'oh you'll change your mind' but a 'you WILL get preggers'....WTF!). Any idea how to snark this bitch subtley without walloping her in the face with my new Tiffany's toggle necklace???
Ugh, I've always found that bingo to be particularly disgusting. It's almost rapey. Anyway, welcome to the forum! ---------- michaela "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." -Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal
If it were me, I'd simply report her for sexual harassment. Works for same-sex stuff well enough (maybe even better than regular in some places.) But, non-confrontational and getting people to leave you alone are often incompatable I suppose you could burst into tears and tell her that you got VD as a kid and the doctor just told you your insides are so horribly scarred that you're sterile. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
@cfmoneybags: Hello fellow Ontarian! Which cruise line are you going with? I did Eastern Caribbean with Celebrity last year and absolutely loved it, but I must warn you that while they're certainly not Disney or Carnival, they're not as good at separating the kids from the adults as Royal is and you can expect that the outdoor pools and hot tubs will be full of them all day. About your coworker... well, you may be non-confrontational, but how much of HER confrontation are you willing to take before you stand up for yourself? You've obviously been more than tolerant, and she seems like the sort of person who'll just keep pushing until someone pushes back harder. I honestly don't think a soft approach would do any good. Reporting her might be a good start. That's clearly harassment. It's even borderline threatening. And you can always remind her that even if you do get pregnant, there's this thing called abortion, which she should herself have considered, since her husband WILL leave her one day, for a younger woman without a snatch the size of a crater, whether she likes it or not...
If she's constantly saying that you WILL get pregnant, that implies she has certainty about it, which could only happen if she is going to conduct a forcible rape multiple times until 'successful'. I'd report her ass for threatened rape and threatening to cause a 'medical condition', along with the emotional and psychological toll it is taking on you and how it horribly detracts from your ability to be productive (stress of the confrontations, worrying about her threats of an impending rape, recovery from the ordeal of the encounter with her, etc.) Teach that cow not to moo so loud
LOL I hav so fallen in love with this forum!!! I love the idea of reporting her for rape, but I won't take it that far lol. But I do like the idea of telling her hubby will take off for a younger 'tighter' woman, maybe brag about how my sex life is great since the guy I'm dating doesn't need a scuba diving outfit to go down there. Then again she says she is EXACTLY the same down there and her sex life is even better after birth....ya right! Success is the best revenge anyways. While I'm enjoying my CF life of cruises (I'm taking Norwegian BTW @ ashari, so excited!!) and fine wine she'll be at kiddie kingdom taming her 4 little bitches (all girls) and wondering why hubby is nowhere in sight. I won't get pregnant anyways, I have an IUD that no one in real life needs to know about.
best way to deal with smarmy, mean bitch who thinks you "will" get pregnant some day... just give her a big smile and say "oh darling, jealousy does not become you". and walk away. be prepared for plenty of passive agressive bitchy comments and games after that tho. I'm so thankful I don't work in an office.
... oh, and the reason I wandered into this thread today..... I have to attend a one year old's birthday party this weekend. it is the only time we can see any of hubby's friends since every single one of them (with one exception) has bought into the Lifescript and their wives are popping them out on a frighteningly regular basis. This same crowd very thankfully did not bingo me at the Xmas party, but as the only CF couple in the group I always feel on tenterhooks.
i got lightly bingoed by my gmail this morning. like many people i get those living social deals in my mailbox and there was one this morning for free dance lessons that looked interesting. as mr. minkoff and i are the worst dancers on earth i clicked on it and saw it was dance lessons for children. ok, fine. as i was about to close it i saw it was offered through living social families. all those family coupons involve children. so i guess only people who have sprogged are families.
I'm going off topic, but I know what you mean with this. Unless I know me getting some lunch will follow within 1 - 2 hours, I can't do a flour and sugar breakfast. I often felt beyotchy and sometimes still do about not wanting to stay that extra time in the morning with family before heading home, just so we can have a Costco blueberry muffin and banana bread breakfast. The way I figure it, if you want to play host, then play host and also provide some dishes with fat and protein. You're right, people who don't have blood sugar issues do not understand this. Whenever I know the bosses are going to bring breakfast to work, I know to just bring my own, because it's going to be donuts and bagels. Once I think I hurt a family friend's feelings, even though he was being super santimonius himself. He's some food purist person, so many things he won't eat. This includes wheat flour, processed foods, certain meats, fast food, carbonated beverages. He'd insisted on making us rice flour waffles before we left out from his house. I wanted no part of that, but everyone else is hung up on being polite. Not only were they tasteless and fatless, there wasn't even any butter to put on them. There was pure maple syrup, but I'm not really a syrup person. I wound up dumping my entire plate of waffles in the trash. I couldn't eat that. I'm better off not eating breakfast at all than something like that. As soon as we were in the car I demanded we stop somewhere I could get an egg. We stopped somewhere I got a poached egg and smoked salmon sandwich. That was BLISS.
I just got twisted bingoed by my mother. "I hope you have a kid who is retarded and disabled and has ADHD" apparently this will make me realize how hard it is to be a parent to a special needs kid and make me more tolerant and accepting of the lesser intelligent. I hung up on her and won't pick back up.
Jesus, togspled. Is there something amiss in her head? ---------- michaela "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." -Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal

CCHF Legislative Action Alert - Minnesota
Friday, March 23, 2012
Please come. On Monday evening, March 26 (6:00 p.m.), there will be a hearing at the State Capitol on a bill to build, establish and implement an Obamacare exchange ("takeover center"). SF 1872, authored by Senator Tony Lourey (D-Kerrick), is deceptively called the "Minnesota Insurance Marketplace Act."
Another bill we've testified against will also be heard: SF 2255 (Gerlach). As several lawyers have informed us, despite the author's best intentions, the bill could give Governor Dayton legal cover for implementing a government health insurance exchange. The bill says if an exchange is created, here is a list of what it cannot do.
Your attendance is essential. With all the bills being proposed this session that include pieces of Obamacare language -- or possibly open the door to authorizing the exchange -- we need a strong show of force at this hearing. Supporters of the exchange will likely be there in force to support Sen. Lourey's bill.
Date: Monday, March 26
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Committee: Senate Health and Human Services
Place: Room 15 (under the Rotunda)
Building: Minnesota State Capitol
Address: 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55155
Parking (bring quarters) - NOTE: most on-street parking is free after 4:30 p.m.
If you would like to testify, please contact Brad Biers at (651)296-4151 or email@example.com
Please let us know you're coming. Email Sheri at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We want to have enough "stickers" for you to wear to show your opposition to the exchange.
I look forward to seeing you Monday evening!

Safe access between different elevations is a serious and ongoing problem in construction. This can be either on a slope or between different floors in new construction. Traditionally contractors will build wooden stair systems to solve this, but these are less than safe when wet or icy, and there is also the problem of disposal once the project is complete.
Tuff Step provides a safe and cost effective alternative, especially when labour is included in the comparison. Made from aluminum and polypropylene plastic, Tuff Step is lightweight, easily configures to any slope between 0 and 60 degrees, and sheds snow, ice and mud. Tuff Step will normally provide safe footing in just about any condition.
A major contractor recently concluded that Tuff Step is often more economical to use than custom built access. Plus it can be reused on other projects and reconfigured to suit different needs.
When used on sloping ground Tuff Step sections can be joined together for just about any length needed. Sections can be secured to the ground, or, if that is not possible (i.e. on concrete), sections can be joined together and the entire assembly can be secured at the top. Tuff Step can be used with no handrails, handrails on both sides, or just on one side.
The Tuff Step family includes a system designed specifically for free standing stairs between different elevations in construction. Need a movable temporary stair system between stories under construction? No problem. This lightweight and reusable system will provide safe access for construction.
When contractors are looking for safe, cost effective, reusable access between different elevations in construction, Tuff Step is the way to go.

The food is good. The atmosphere is good. The prices, especially at lunch, are good. The only thing lacking: customer service,mainly from owner Rick's son. I brought co-workers there for lunch and our waiter was efficient without personality. I used to work with JC Blanc and think he is brilliant. I wanted to bring my daughter there for dinner. We called ahead for dinner on a Saturday night. Rick's son told my daughter it would be 30minutes. We arrived in 25minutes and were told that not only would we have to wait an additional 30minutes, but Rick's son told me he said 30-45minute wait. As we walked away, my daughter felt like he called her a liar and we still would have waited almost double the time quoted. Tone down the arrogance because the food is good, but not good enough to take that. we went back to Grimaldi's in Allen and waited 20minutes...which was exactly the time they quoted. AND, the staff was nice!

Long Cutout Dress
Beautiful and Comfortable
I am 5'4 115lbs and I got an XS in this dress. I will say I am not very busty I'm a B in the chest so if you have larger boobs you might have issues with this dress. This dress is also VERY long so I will have to go to the tailors but I suppose that's great if you are very tall. The fabric is amazing and soft and it's just a dream to wear. Once I get the length fixed I can't wait to wear this out.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is honing the product focus of the company she has been running for seven months, eliminating several products that were deemed insufficiently popular with the company's 700 million users. Yahoo is discontinuing development and support of its mobile app for BlackBerry and Yahoo Clue, a tool introduced in November 2010 that shows detailed search trends, for example.
Mayer has described Yahoo's core business as personalizing content and its goals as increasing user engagement, boosting the company's international audience, and broadening its demographic base. Products that don't fit into that agenda won't … Read more

Cathedral City Real Estate Information
Cathedral City is a medium sized incorporated community found in the Coachella Valley, which is also known commonly as the Palm Springs area of southeastern California. There are approximately forty eight thousand residents of Cathedral City real estate, a substantial increase over the figure of forty two thousand seven hundred residents officially reported by the two thousand census. These figures, however, are not necessarily accurate, as they do not reflect all of the seasonal residents of Cathedral City, who are colloquially known as "snow birds" because they only live in Cathedral City during the cold winter months up north. Cathedral City is technically considered a part of Riverside County, and is one of the eight incorporated cities in the Coachella Valley.
Cathedral City is often affectionately termed "Cat City" by local residents, and the root name itself is generally considered to have been derived from Cathedral Canyon, a rock formation that was given the name by Henry Washington, who seemed to see a resemblance between the rocks and a church. Cathedral City has grown extremely rapidly in the last two decades, with the population doubling several times in the past twenty years. Cathedral City was originally a suburb of the Palm Springs area, but was not officially incorporated as a city of the Golden State until the year nineteen eighty one. Cathedral City homes for sale are frequented by a number of different demographic groups, perhaps most notably retirees and those who do not appreciate the harsh winters of the northern states.
Real estate in Cathedral City is spread out over a total area of approximately nineteen and a half square miles, including just under a third of a square mile of standing surface water, which is rare in the generally arid Coachella Valley. There are a number of famous individuals and celebrities buried in the Forest Lawn and Desert Memorial Park Cemeteries, including Frank Sinatra, George Montgomery, William Powell, Buddy Rogers, Sonny Bono, John Fillips, and Jane Wyman. Cathedral City is home to the Cathedral City Soccer Park, where the California Desert Spinys and the Desert Valley Knights participate in semi-professional soccer and football, respectively.

Making an Impact
About Our GrantmakingThe Foundation is a nonprofit group staffed strictly by volunteers. Our focus is strictly local -- within the greater Takoma area. We spend your money in ways that get you, our donors, the most bang for your buck. Aside from big special projects like the community center, we specialize in micro-grants aimed at groups that can start something big and can be self-funding once we give them a seed grant. We especially like to support programs that help the children in our community, and especially those children who do not have enough resources at home. Teen Mosaic MasterpieceA grant from the Foundation for art apprenticeships with Arts for the People demonstrated what talented teens can do with the right guidance and a little bit of money. The students polished their job hunting skills when they applied for the program. They polished their mosaic-working skills too. The result is a gorgeous (go see it!) mosaic mural in the pedestrian underpass on Georgia Avenue and Route 410. "I loved working on this project," said Natalie Ramirez, one of the apprentices. "Not only did I learn how to make mosaics but I learned important career building lessons as well as art theory. The art we made will last through generations." Feeding Hungry NeighborsEdie Hopkins, a graduate of Rolling Terrace Elementary School and now a middle school student, created a program to help students living in poor households have access to food over the weekend. The Foundation provided the Rolling Terrace PTA with a $1,000 grant to purchase backpacks and reduced-price food through Manna Food Center. Each month the PTA fills 10 back-packs with tuna fish, macaroni and cheese, canned fruit, cereal, and more for kids and their families. In a separate $500 grant to Manna, The Foundation also helped feed hungry seniors at the Franklin Apartments. Manna distributed 134,750 pounds of food to 161 different families. "Working together, the Takoma Foundation and Manna Food Center fought hunger and fed hope by providing essential food to vulnerable senior citizens who otherwise would have gone hungry," said Manna's Amy Gabala. Supporting After-School Programs
Kids from Camp Fire USA, an after-school program at Takoma Park Middle that the Foundation helps fund, visit the White House, meet President Bush and pose with the Thanksgiving turkey. Scholarships and Science FairsThe Foundation believes that no Takoma kid should miss out on an activity because he or she can't afford to join. We fund equipment and membership scholarships for a variety of groups, including Lumina Studio Theater, the Montgomery Blair Band and Orchestra, and local school field trips. Last year we provided Piney Branch Elementary students with Science Fair Backpacks, loaded with all the supplies and directions they'd need to create a good experiment. Dance, Dance, DanceParents at the Silver Spring International Middle School offered to put in sweat equity to build their kids a dance floor. We provided $1,000 for the materials, and the school came through with a contractor. Now the school has dance programs during the school day, as well as after school dance clubs, and rental space for local dance troupes. We also funded a special dance program for at-risk teens at the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. We helped the Jazz Fest and the Folk Festival, and we paid for dance mats and a dance studio at the community center. |

There are certain things we expect from pâté, no matter its constituents. We expect it to be rich, the flavour deep. We don't expect to eat very much of it, but we expect it to linger.
Those same qualities are what a vegetable pâté is after, and it is, perhaps surprisingly so, adept in achieving them. Vegetables are by turns, and by treatment, sweet, nutty, earthy, smoky, spicy. They can take on textures dense and smooth or ethereally creamy. The best in vegetable pâté, then, takes philosophical cues from traditional pâté — the depths of flavour and luxuries of texture — without aspiring to mimic them.
"There are two things you want in a vegetable pâté," says Amanda Cohen, chef-owner of the New York vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy. "One is a very strong flavour; the other is an intense depth of creaminess ... What you should expect is a very interesting taste sensation in a small bite."
Almost any vegetable can be worked into a pâté, but the ones that perform most successfully carry flavour profiles that lean on the side of sweet, with earthy undertones, and flesh fine-grained and dense. Think root vegetables, winter squash, or those not-exactly-vegetables, mushrooms. Nuts and seeds, pounded into a paste, contribute to a creamier, more substantial texture, as do legumes such as lentils and white beans, and fat.
A vegetable pâté (not to be confused with vegetarian), then, is not about making amends for something it is not, nor is it a substitute for a pâté made with meat. A vegetable pâté should instead be a celebration of the vegetable itself, an exploration of what that vegetable is capable of expressing. And you don't need to be a vegetarian to appreciate it.
Beet-Walnut Pâté
Makes 1 ½ cups (350 ml, or 6 servings)
Pounding the walnuts with a mortar and pestle helps give this pâté its creamy texture. Its deep purple colour looks striking in a serving bowl. Serve it with seeded crackers or thin slices of rye bread.
Ume plum vinegar, made from umeboshi plums, is available at whole foods markets and some larger grocery stores (on the international aisle).
MAKE AHEAD: The pâté will improve in flavour after a day's refrigeration. It can be covered and refrigerated 3 days in advance. From food writer Emily Horton.
1 pound (450 g) beets (1 to 2 bunches, depending on size)
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) sea salt, plus more as needed
½ cup (120 ml) walnuts, toasted (nee NOTE)
1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) ume plum vinegar (see headnote)
Cracked black pepper, to taste
Minced parsley, for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
Wash and dry the beets, but don't peel them. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and roast until easily pierced with the sharp tip of a knife, 45 minutes for smaller beets and up to 1 ½ hours for larger ones. Unwrap the beets and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel them (the skin should come off easily), then rinse and allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile, mash the garlic to a paste with the salt in a mortar and pestle.
Pound the walnuts to a paste with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle.
Coarsely chop the cooled beets and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Add the walnut and garlic pastes, the oil and the vinegar. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mound into a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley, if using, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
NOTE: To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 350 F (175 C) oven, shaking the sheet occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts burn quickly.
Roasted Sweet Potato Pâté
Makes about 2 cups (500 ml or 8 servings)
This smooth, sweet vegetable pâté is perfectly complemented by the crunch of the nuts and the bite of the mustard.
MAKE AHEAD: The pâté needs to be refrigerated for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight.
From chef Rich Landau of Vedge in Philadelphia.
For the pâté
2 pounds (900 g) sweet potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes)
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil, or more to taste
1 teaspoon (5 ml) sherry vinegar
½ cup (120 ml) chopped onion
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) ground cumin
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) ground allspice
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) freshly ground black pepper
2 cups (500 ml) canned no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Hot water, as needed
For serving
Whole-grain mustard
Crushed roasted cashew nuts (salted or unsalted)
Baguette toasts
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-cm (½-inch) chunks; they don't need to be perfect, because they will be pureed. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the oil, vinegar, onion, cumin, allspice, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet and roast until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool just a little, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the chickpeas and puree until smooth and creamy. The pâté should be quite thick but still able to move around in the food processor. If it's too thick, drizzle in a little hot water. Alternatively, for a richer pâté, drizzle in more oil.
Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 3 hours and preferably overnight.
Serve in ramekins, accompanied by other ramekins filled with the mustard and the nuts, and offer toasted slices of baguette.
Mushroom-Lentil Pâté
Makes 1 ¼ cups (300 ml or 5 servings)
The herb-infused lentils are such a nice element of this pâté that you might consider making extra and using the leftovers, including their liquid, to sauce pasta or rice.
Serve the pâté with whole-grain crackers or rye toasts.
MAKE AHEAD: The pâté can be made, covered and refrigerated 2 days in advance. From food writer Emily Horton.
1/3 cup (80 ml, about 85 g or 3 ounces) dried brown lentils
2 sprigs thyme, plus more for optional garnish
1 teaspoon (5 ml) medium-grain sea salt
3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup or 250 ml)
1 clove garlic, smashed with the flat side of a knife, then minced
8 ounces (225 g) cremini mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon (15 ml) medium-dry sherry
½ cup (125 ml, about 85 g 3 ounces) pecan halves or pieces, toasted (see NOTE)
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons (7 ml) balsamic vinegar
Cover the lentils with 2-3 cm (one inch) of water in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring almost to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat so the water is barely bubbling. Remove from the heat, stir in the thyme sprigs and I ml (¼ teaspoon) of the salt, then cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until warm. Add 25 ml (1 ½ tablespoons) of the oil, the onion and 1 ml (¼ teaspoon) of the salt, and cook until translucent, 7 or 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a few minutes longer. Add the mushrooms and 1 ml (¼ teaspoon) of the salt, toss to coat with the oil, cover partly and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until most of the remaining liquid evaporates. Add the sherry, and cook until it just glosses the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Cover the skillet and remove it from the heat.
Pulse the pecans in the bowl of a food processor until they are finely ground. Add the onion-mushroom mixture and process until just combined. Drain the lentils, reserving the cooking liquid for another use, if desired, and add them to the food processor along with the remaining 25 ml (1 ½ tablespoons) of oil, the remaining 1 ml (¼ teaspoon) of salt and the pepper. Process until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and pulse just until combined. It should be about the consistency of peanut butter.
The pâté can be served in a bowl immediately, garnished with additional thyme, if desired. It can also be moulded. Transfer the pâté into a small loaf pan or bowl lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. When ready to serve, unmould the pâté onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
NOTE: To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 350 F (175 C) oven, shaking the sheet occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts burn quickly.
Carrot-Ginger Pâté
Makes about 1 ½ cups (350 ml, or 6 servings)
Arbol chili peppers can pack a lot of heat, so if you prefer, omit them from the cooking process and add a dash of cayenne pepper to the finished pâté instead.
MAKE AHEAD: The pâté can be made, covered and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance. From food writer Emily Horton.
2 tablespoons (30 ml) raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
Sea salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) caraway seed
3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium (about 22g or 8 ounces total) carrots
1 dried arbol chili pepper, split in half lengthwise, seeds discarded (see headnote)
¼ cup (60 ml) water
1-inch (2.5-cm) piece ginger root, preferably young
2 teaspoons (10 ml) white or brown rice miso
1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Soak the sunflower seeds in a small bowl with water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Mash to a paste with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle.
While the sunflower seeds are soaking, toast the caraway seed in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Grind with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and allow to cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) of salt. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and golden and reduced in volume by about two-thirds. Add the caraway seed, remove the skillet from the heat, cover and cool.
Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces approximately 1 cm by 2.5 cm (½ inch by 1 inch). Transfer to a large saucepan or small Dutch oven and add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the oil, ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) salt, the chili pepper and the water. Bring almost to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
Peel the ginger root and cut it into 2 pieces. Use the flat side of a knife to mash it completely flat, then mince; alternately, grate the ginger root.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the carrots to the bowl of a food processor (discard the chili pepper). Add the onion, ginger, sunflower seed paste, the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (25 ml) of oil, and the miso, and process until smooth and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the lemon juice and pulse to combine. Taste, and add salt if needed.

Syrian journalists based in Doha were invited to attend a three-day workshop hosted by the Doha Centre for Media Freedom (DCMF) at the Wyndham hotel.
This training session was part of DCMF's regional mission to teach journalists in the Arab world new media techniques. 17 Syrians from different media attended the course to improve their web writing skills.
Instructor Mokhtar El Aballaoui said "the workshop can help participants analyse the difficulties and issues in their work". "Web journalism offers new opportunities compared to traditional media, as the Internet user can access a newspaper archive at any time of the day, thanks to system structuring data according to the themes of the articles" El Aballahoui added.
Web-based media offer the public more interactivity than other media as readers are also expected to contribute content. The workshop showed the different roles journalists, editors and editors in chief hold and their accountability when working on assignment. The participants were also taught about image reproduction rights.
On the closing day, Jan Keulen, director of the Doha Centre for Media Freedom, thanked the attendees and invited them to always adopt professional ethics in their work. Keulen said "this workshop is the first of this kind and we wish this experience will be renewed in the future".
Qatar-based Syrian citizen journalist Mohamed Abdullah told DCMF "the workshop showed me I was wrong when it comes to elaborating and writing press articles, but also time management".
A female activist who attended the workshop said it was "very important for me, especially for building my reports".
She told us she started working in the media at the start of the Syrian revolution. She founded a newspaper in October 2011, but was forced to leave Syria shortly after.

Restore SQL Data base as a folder on different location with Backup Exec 2012
I was trying to restore SQL Data base as a folder on different location with Backup Exec 2012.
Please let me know; is it possible to restore to seperate locations.
Looking forward for your response.
Comments 8 Comments • Jump to latest comment
you will have to do a file restore not a sql restore for to restore the database files to a different location. the wizard will give you the option to restore the files to another location.
@shakeel - When BE backs up a SQL database, it does not backup the .mdf/.ldf files. It actually does a database dump and the .mdf/.ldf files are excluded from any backup by AFE. So if you are just looking to restore the SQL databases, just like files, it cannot be done.
However, you can restore a SQL database with re-direction and direct the .mdf/,ldf files to be created by the restore to another directory.

Champions of 'The Fighter'
Christian Bale's acceptance speech was all excitement. Recognized for his supporting role as Dicky Eklund in "The Fighter," Bale was soon joined onstage by the real-life Eklund. The two looked ready to hit the parties together, and Bale had a moment to get serious after Eklund left the stage. "It's so ... silly at times," Bale said of acting. "It's like playing dress-up." Hmmm.... Does someone not want to wear that Batman costume again? Pesky contracts.

Problems With Vaccination Theory
Problems arise when these foreign viral protein fragments become lodged in the body cells. They become lodged because the weakened viral fragments are not sufficiently virulent to trigger a full-blown immune system reaction. When your immune system is exposed to full-strength pathogenic viruses, it triggers a full-blown reaction that gets rid of all the viruses. However, since the attenuated forms used in vaccines purposefully do not trigger the full-blown immune system response, they may escape being destroyed by elevated white blood cell mobilization, and instead lodge in body cells, some in nerve tissues in the case of multiple sclerosis, and in muscles in the case of polio, etc.
After these attenuated vaccine viral fragments get inside body cells, the body's leucocytes, T-cells and phagocytes sense the presence of the foreign proteins. Since they are programmed to seek out and destroy any proteins they recognize as foreign, they then attack the body's healthy cells that contain the vaccine's protein fragments in an attempt to consume the foreign protein fragments which they recognize and consider to be the enemy.
The presence of the foreign protein fragments within the body cells can trigger low-grade fevers and other symptoms of unresolved illness that can continue for the life of the vaccinated individual. The immune system, being unsuccessful at ridding the body of the foreign protein fragments can enter a state of chronic, long-term mobilization that drains the body of vital energy and other resources over time. This can then cause other symptoms of systemic failure that lead to mysterious dysfunction or collapse of entire organ systems, cells that mutate under the stress and become cancers, etc.
Modern medicine does not understand why the immune system attacks seemingly healthy body cells in certain people. I believe they do this in people who possess fairly healthy immune systems, and don't in people whose immune systems are not as sensitive and responsive. This theory can explain why people with MS, for example, who take supplements that stimulate the immune system do not benefit from them but find that their conditions are actually aggravated by such supplementation or drug therapies.
By lodging within healthy cells and triggering an auto-immune response, they create auto-immune disorders such as arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, cancer, etc. That's why attempting to stimulate the immune system in individuals whose systems have become compromised by vaccines can actually cause more harm than good, because the problem then becomes how to stop the immune system from attacking the healthy cells that contain the attenuated viral fragments.
Due to this reaction, modern medicine tries to minimize the auto-immune reaction with drugs to keep it from attacking the body. However, in doing this, they leave the body open to viral attacks since the immune system's purpose is to protect the body from infectious viruses and bacteria.
The best way to prevent disease is to understand the way we were created. The immune system consists of a very intricate web of processes that protect us adequately as long as we are healthy. We are optimally healthy when we are eating locally-grown foods that are fresh from our gardens and farms, breathing fresh air, drinking pure spring water, exercising every day, being exposed to the sun, and absorbing beneficial energies from the earth, etc.
Protection from disease that this healthy interaction of with the natural environment establishes is degraded by urban living. Foods grown with pesticides and other chemicals, that requires produce to be shipped before fully ripened, fumigated, then processed and preserved with chemical toxins, causes our immune systems to no longer be able to protect us from invading microorganisms and a host of illnesses.
Vaccines are a valiant but costly, short-sighted and hazardous attempt to protect people from disorders, but they can cause more harm than good for the foregoing reasons. The real answer to resolving the problem of illness is to understand how man and nature are not two, and strive to understand the importance of a natural lifestyle and diet that restores the vital relationship between human beings and their natural environment upon which true health and protection from diseases is established and maintained.

I looked at the htaccess file and that seems correct. I made sure the options (using phpmyadmin) for site URL are http://dreamgrowers.net
The login page looks like this: http://dreamgrowers.net/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdreamgrowers.net%2Fdreamgrowers%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
I'm not sure where else to check for login issues.
Your help is appreciated!

Relaxing places in EuropeOne of the favorite weekend destinations in summertime for Talllinners is the gorgeous, crescent shaped beach at Vaana-Joesuu. Expect crowds of sun seeking bodies and families on picnic. However in winter, it's of course a total different story...
The coast at the Black Sea, and especially at Batumi city, is a very popular summer destination for Georgians. During Soviet times, it was a favourite holiday spot for people from all over the Soviet Union. Today, Batumi beach is for Georgians, Armenians and Azeris what Cancun is for American spring breakers and Sunny Beach is for Europeans. The water is warm and not too salty, but there is no sand, just rounded pebbles. The rest of the setup is worthy of any beach resort with deck chairs, beach-front cafes, clubs during the night, a wide promenade and even a fairground. It is fun place to relax for a couple of days - or just people-watch Georgians when they let loose.
Without the masses of tourists and just a short (1,5 hour) ferry ride away from Santorini, Anafi is a great small island to kick back and relax for a few days. The hilltop town of Hora feels like it hasn't changed all that much in the last 20 years and the local people still live there, work there and sit in front of their houses and on the squares.
By vehicle you can get to the other end of the island in less than a half hour and on foot it takes a couple. There is a small monastery and a hiking trail to the top of the enormous rock where you find beautiful views and another small monastery. The beaches on Anafi are not exceptional but nice with beautiful calm waters. Although it's not officially allowed, many people camp out on some of the beaches. All in all, it's a great island to escape the tourism madness of Santorini for a couple of days! Thermal baths are a big thing in Hungary and Szechenyi Thermal Bath is the king of them all. Build in 1913 and slowly extended through times, it is the biggest of its kind in Europe. Today there are three large pools along with 12 smaller sitting pools. Though the two thermal springs that supply Szechenyi have temperatures over 70°C/158°F, the pool water is pleasant, ranging from 26°C/79°F to 38°C/100°F. Beside the big outdoor pools area, there are also a range of health and spa services, but most people just come here to relax and hang out, and maybe a game of chess.
This is the iconic attraction of Iceland. An outdoor pool where you can slide into the 37-39°C (98-102°F) warm mineral rich ice blue seawater heated by lava flow deep underground. The lagoon is actually fed by the clean water output from the nearby geothermal power plant. In line with the Icelandic spirit, you can sip drinks in the fresh air while soaking up the rough beauty of the place. This is the king of all geothermal spas.
If you think the Blue lagoon is too crowded, then try Myvatn Nature Bath in the northeast of the island, close to the gorgeous Lake Myvatn. This geothermal bath offers a similar Icelandic experience to the Blue lagoon, where you can submerge your body in lava heated water in an open-air pool. While relaxing in the steam clouds, you take in the surrounding wild and windswept landscape which has been shaped by volcanic eruptions through time.

Latvia's beach resort number one is Jūrmala hands down. The white sand beach stretches for more than 20 km along the Baltic Sea (well, actually the Gulf of Riga). In the past it was the summer playground for the Soviet elite, but now the sunbathing is done by the region's rich, famous and those who want to be seen, including new-rich Russians who add the flavour of kitsch which suits Jūrmala so well. A restored Soviet-era five stars hotel lies straight down to the waterfront, side by side with old wooden mansions and low-rise family homes. The town still has a lot of the traditional colourful wooden houses, but they are slowly getting bought up and replaced by more contemporary apartamentos for the holidaymakers. Though not Ibiza, Jūrmala can still be a lot of fun - but try to be here in summer!
The coastal town of Budva is famous for two very different things. Its historic walled town, and the beaches surrounding it. The closes ones are Mogren beach and Slovenska plaža beach. Mogren, west of the walled old town, is actually two connecting beaches. Slovenska plaža on the other hand is a 1500m long stretch of sand and pebbles thats curves along the bay. The narrow beach is lined cafes, bars and open air discotheques that are base for huge parties that attract partygoers from all over Balkan. Budva is Montenegro's equivalent to Cancun in Mexico.
About 20 km southeast of Istanbul lies nine islands (four main ones) known as Princes' Islands, or just Adalar (the islands). Though they only are a ferry ride away from bustling Istanbul, they are a very sedated places. The small-town vibe and the slow peace is the exact reason way people come here. Well-off city slickers have weekend houses here, while the rest settle for hotel room in the weekend or a day trip. There are no cars on the islands, so transport is either by foot, bicycle or pimped out horse carts. The Princes' Islands make a great escape from Istanbul, but don't expect white sandy beached - the few beaches are pebbled and mostly covered in deck chairs.

Pictures with a short bit of history, ie what type of tree, edible or non-edible, any health benefits to humans. Now that's good food. Food for the brain.

House Proud
The National Road Race Champion, Rapha Condor's Kristian House, stopped by at the office on Monday to do a fitting for his new Champion's jersey and also collect some very special race mitts. Based on the Rapha Grand Tour Gloves, these mitts are a one off bespoke piece for Rapha Condor's man of the moment. Nice work, product team.
All this was in preparation for 'The Dude's' assault on the Tour of Ireland, which takes place this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kristian and the team will be racing against his old training buddy, Lance Armstrong, as well as Mark Cavendish and other stars of the peloton. Kristian, who finished 6th overall at the Mi-Aout Breton last week, has his eyes on the third and final stage on Sunday as he suspects that the Team Columbia bullet train will dominate in the Tour's flatter stages. But don't rule The Dude and the RC team (sporting brand new jerseys) out to do something special.
Whilst the mitts are not for sale the jersey will be available to buy very soon. Profits from the sale of the jerseys will go to the Prostate Cancer Charity whom Sharp4Prostate, one of the team's new sponsors, closely support.

More from Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc. said Thursday it has purchased mobile app developer Stamped, the first acquisition under new CEO Marissa Mayer.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Stamped, a year-and-a-half-old startup based in New York, runs a website and mobile app for customers to make online recommendations of their favourite things to read, listen to or eat.
According to the Financial Times, Stamped's backers range from celebrities — including American Idol presented Ryan Seacrest, Justin Bieber, talk-show host Ellen Degeneres — to the New York Times, Google Ventures and Bain Capital Adventures. Kevin Systrom, founder of photo-sharing app Instagram, was an adviser to Stamped.
Mayer became Yahoo's CEO six weeks ago after 13 years as a key executive at Google Inc.
She indicated when Yahoo reported quarterly earnings this week that acquisitions are a priority and the company is targeting relatively small startups willing to sell for less than US$100-million.
The Stamped team will help Yahoo create a new centre of mobile product development, according to Yahoo senior vice-president Adam Cahan, who called Stamped and its staff "a natural fit." Cahan added that Stamped would be "a great asset as we expand Yahoo's mobile efforts and build a world-class mobile development organization."
Five of the 11 employees listed on Stamped's website formerly worked at Google, including two of the startup's three founders, and another at Microsoft.
Stamped announced the acquisition on its site with a statement that read in part: "We're excited to start work again on something big, mobile, and new — but we can't discuss the details just yet. And we're really stoked to be able to hire lots of talented engineers and designers for this new project."
Yahoo shares rose 9 cents to $16.64 in late afternoon trading.

Using the basic recipe for making a Spong Cake, there are so many ways to decorate it by just using your favourite ingredients.
Here is one of my favourites:
We shall need:
- 1 dose of sponge cake (see recipe)
- 1 dose of pastry cream (see recipe)
- 1 dose of whipping cream (see recipe)
- syrup (see recipe)
- Cherries in syrup or sour cherries in syrup
- Grated black chocolate
When the sponge cake has cooled down we cut into two pieces and wet with the cherry syrup. If we like we can also make syrup by ourselves and keep it in the fridge for similar use.
Put the sponge cake in a platter and put back the spring form ring on the cake. Spread the cream ion the cake,after it has cooled down and add the cherries on cream (without syrup). Place the other sponge cake on top and spread whipping cream with a knife.
Decorate as you like grating some chocolate on top and adding some cherries.

Lincoln Town Car Dealer Problem
On the Brake Control Module there is a 2 wire connector which connects to a part that I am having trouble finding. The part, when looking in the Chilton's repair manual is called the (BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR SWITCH). Where would I be able to buy this part? and Why is it when I ask about it at a parts house/dealership noone can find it? When I ask about it, they all seem to want to sell me the entire Brake Control Module. Maybe I'm asking for it by the wrong name. Please help me.
