Lighter Spring Risotto highlights the best spring produce without a ton of butter or cheese!
We're crossing all kinds of things off the domestic bucket list around here. First, planting a vegetable garden (see below for instructions) and now, making risotto! :)
PS: please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks of cursive "Rirruto" a la Billy Madison when they see the word risotto!? No? Just me? Cough.
Well anyway, even though I love to cook and bake, there are a few dishes and techniques I've always been hesitant to tackle in the kitchen.
Making a homemade pie crust has been on the back burner since getting an "Ohhh, ok." (translation: YIKES) from my high school Home Ec teacher regarding my first attempt at classic pumpkin pie.
Recipes involving yeast may as well have been written in Mandarin for as much sense they seemed to make nearly all my life. (Until I finally gave a few a try last year, and was pretty pleased with the results – well, not early results!)
Deep fat frying? Well, despite Ben's infatuation with countertop fryers, I think we'll probably just not go there, what with the whole pesky clogged artery thing, and lingering Long John Silvers scent left behind.
Which brings us to risotto. Ohhh, risotto! Starchy, short-grain Arborio rice is stirred (and stirred!) with savory broth until thick, creamy, and chewy, then finished with hearty amounts of butter and cheese.
Despite adoring the dish, for years I have held off on making it at home. I mean, all that stirring? Who has the time?! Plus all that butter and cheese? Who's got the disposable income for new jeans every time a craving hits?!
Well, after planting my garden last night, inspiration struck. I'm an immediate gratification kind of person, but I realized the rewards of a garden are anything but. A little patience, persistence, and dedication is necessary to get my happy ending, which is what I'd need to enjoy delicious, Lighter Spring Risotto.
True, Lighter Spring Risotto, highlighting fresh spring peas & asparagus, involves a solid 20 minutes of stirring to achieve that classic, creamy risotto texture, but it doesn't need extra butter and fat at the end to make it rich and satisfying. I'll show you!
Start the Lighter Spring Risotto by heating up 4 cups vegetable broth. Since you'll be ladling the broth into the risotto to cook the rice, you want it nice and hot so it doesn't slow down the cooking process.
I brought the broth up to a boil, then popped a lid on top and turned the heat down to low.
Next, saute 1 shallot, 1 garlic clove and 1 cup sliced mushrooms in 2 teaspoons each butter and extra virgin olive oil, until the shallots and mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes.
Then add in the Arborio Rice.
Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice typically used in risottos. It's very high in starch, which is released when cooked slowly and stirred constantly, making the dish creamy and luscious.
Pour 1 cup arborio rice into the skillet, then let it saute and "toast" for 1 minute.
Next, add in the juice from 1/2 lemon, and 1/2 cup white wine. I always say if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it!
Stir the lemon juice and wine in with the rice then, when it's nearly absorbed, add a ladle full of hot broth to the skillet.
Stir constantly – not vigorously – just constantly, until the broth is nearly absorbed.
Then, repeat! Keep stirring and adding ladle fulls of broth after the previous ladle full is absorbed, until the rice is tender but al dente. Make sure you don't step away to fold laundry, stare at your vegetable garden, or look for the remote mmkay, as stirring is what "activates" the starches in the rice.
When there's 2 ladle fulls of broth left, add in 1 cup chopped asparagus.
When there's one lade full left, add in 1/2 cup peas. Taste to make sure the rice is cooked through (add more hot broth if it's not) then adjust seasonings if necessary.
Ladle into bowls, top with fresh basil and serve!
Lighter Spring Risotto
Lighter Spring Risotto highlights the best spring produce without a ton of butter or cheese!
- 4 cups vegetable broth (may need a bit more or less)
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- salt & pepper
- 1 cup arborio rice
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
- 1 cup chopped asparagus
- 1/2 cup peas (can use frozen-then-thawed)
- 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
- Heat vegetable broth in a small saucepan until simmering. Place a lid on top, and keep over low heat.
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, then saute until onions are soft and mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Add rice, stir well, then toast the rice for 1 more minute.
- Pour in lemon juice and white wine, then stir and cook until wine is nearly absorbed. Add a ladle full of vegetable broth, then stir constantly until broth is nearly absorbed. Repeat the process until rice is creamy and nearly tender, about 20 minutes. You may not need to use all of the vegetable broth.
- When there is approximately two ladle fulls of broth left, add in the asparagus to cook. When there is one ladle full left, add in the peas to heat through. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve topped with chopped basil.

Lighter Spring Risotto is a very basic risotto recipe, but boy was it satisfying. I didn't miss the extra butter or addition of cheese at all. I don't even know what it would add – besides a lot of extra calories!
The sauce was thick, the rice creamy, and the spring veggies fresh. That hit of basil at the end was totally clutch, too. Although I won't be making this every week, I can definitely confirm that it is worth the effort.

How to Build a Raised Garden Bed
As promised, here are the instructions for building your very own raised garden bed! My Mom and I decided to go with a longer, skinnier bed vs a square one because I'm super short and it would have been hard to lean over and reach the middle of the bed. I'm sure there are tons of ways to build one, but here's how we did it!
Materials Needed:
- 3, 8′ length x 6″ wide x 1 1/2″ deep cedar boards, with 1 cut in half (they can do that for you at the store)
- 12, 2in x 8 green exterior screws (the actual color is not green, that's just what they're called)
- 30 feet garden fencing
- 8, 4′ garden stakes
Tools Needed:
- Drill with one bit just smaller than the screws, and one bit that matches the head of the screw
- Shovel
- Rake (optional)
- Staple gun (optional)
Step 1
Lay out the boards for the frame of the raised garden bed. These are 3, 8'x6″x1 1/2″ cedar boards, which are great for the outdoors as they don't warp, and are safe for vegetable gardens (vs green treated boards which can seep into the soil.)
Step 2
Line the boards up so the end of the 8′ board is inside the 4′ board.
You'll be using 2″ exterior screws vs regular nails to hold the frame together, as regular nails would bust out from the pressure and weight of the soil.
Step 3
You need to pre-drill holes for the screws to go into, so press a screw into the end of the 4′ boards to make 3 indentations. Do this on both ends of both 4′ boards.
Step 4
Select a drill bit that is just smaller than the screws, and insert it into the drill.
Whee, drilling!
Pre-drill holes in the indentations for 12 holes total (3 on each end of both 4′ boards.)
Step 5
Find a drill bit that matches the head of the screws, then put that in the drill.
Line the boards back up, then drill the screws into the pre-drilled holes.
(PS do as I say, not as I do, and wear close-toed shoes plus protective eye gear when working with power tools!)
Repeat on all 4 sides of the frame.
To recap:
1. Line boards up and make indentations on each end of the 4′ boards to pre-drill holes
2. Pre-drill holes
3. Drill in screws
Step 6
Place the frame in your desired spot and line the bottom with newspapers, about 3 layers thick. This will help keep weeds from popping up.
Tuck the newspapers under the frame so the weeds can't work their way up the sides.
Step 7
Fill the frame to the top with good quality soil. The soil will settle as it sits, and will sink a bit.
Step 8
Rake the soil or spread with your hands to get it evenly spread out.
Step 9
Plan the placement of your fruits/veggies before you dig the holes to plant them, keeping 6″ of space between the plant and the frame.
Step 10
Step 11 (Optional)
Line the raised garden bed with garden fencing, using 4′ garden stakes woven in and out of the fencing, then pushed several inches into the ground below, to anchor it.
Staple the bottom of the fencing to the frame all around the raised bed to prevent rabbits from squeezing their way in.
To recap:
- Line the raised garden bed with newspaper, tucking it under the sides
- Fill the bed with dirt
- Plan out where you want your plants to go, then plant them
- Line the raised garden bed with garden fencing, anchoring it with garden stakes, then staple the edges to the frame
Water, harvest, repeat!
With that, it's time to go water. :) Have a great night!

Effie Trinket, a Capitol-born chaperone, is assigned to oversee District 12's tributes in the Hunger Games, specifically Katniss and Peeta in the 74th and 75th games. In the movie, played amazingly by Elizabeth Banks, she carries out such tasks as drawing the tributes' names at the reaping and escorting them to the Capitol. The pictures of Effie is modeled by Elizabeth. In the movie, there is a lot of makeup on Elizabeth Banks to give Effie that mature look. I've categorized this tutorial "Advanced" because of Effie's huge rose adornment, flowery boa, and curly hair. So this tutorial is in tribute to one of the engaging characters of this already popular movie and bestselling book. I wanted to treat you in this "Hunger Games" tutorial.

This is the first time, however, that I've make butternut squash gratin. A gratin is a simple, baked dish, similar to a casserole, with a golden, browned crust on the top. For this recipe, I've added onions and leeks to the squash base. A final topping of cheese and breadcrumbs, and a short time in the oven, and that's really all there is to it.
This is an easy recipe, the most laborious parts being peeling and cutting the squash, and washing the leeks. For those who haven't cooked with leeks before, you might be wondering what is so difficult about washing leeks. The problem with fresh leeks is that they are grown in sandy soil, which then finds it way into the many tight layers of the vegetable. This is why it is so important that you take the time to carefully wash them before cooking. (I found a quick tutorial of the process on YouTube.)
Having made this dish for the first time, I am confidant that it would become one of my regular butternut squash recipes. I'm even thinking that it would make a lovely side dish for our Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Butternut Squash and Leek Gratin
Serves 4 to 5
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 small onion, diced
1 medium leek, washed and chopped
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
8 oz mozzarella, sliced or shredded
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 cup grated cheddar
2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 300oF. Spray an 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a bamboo or stainless steel steamer, steam the squash until fork tender. I did it in two batches so that the cubes of squash cooked evenly.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat, and add the onions and rosemary sprigs. Cook until lightly browned on the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped leeks. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cook until the leeks are softened, for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs.
4. Combine the squash, onion-leek mixture, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Layer the slices of mozzarella on the top, followed by the breadcrumbs, and finish with the grated cheddar. Baked at 300oF for 25 to 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Well grounded in theory and practice, the business administration curriculum is taught by faculty members who are dedicated to excellence in both teaching and research.
Each concentration provides a solid foundation of four core courses. Elective courses are offered in a wide range of areas, such as employment law, sales and promotion management, financial forecasting and valuation, and export and import operations.
A cornerstone of the business administration program is the flexibility to pursue more than one concentration, to minor in another program at Ithaca College, or to study abroad. For example, one student might pursue dual concentrations in finance and international business. Another might choose a marketing concentration with a minor in psychology or health services administration. Still another might prefer to combine dual concentrations in management and international business with a semester of study in Spain.
Outside the classroom, students have opportunities to further develop their business knowledge, leadership, and communication skills. They collaborate with business faculty members on research projects, make presentations at international conferences, and publish their research in academic journals. Students also utilize their knowledge by running sixteen student organizations. During summer and winter breaks, students have the opportunity to attend networking nights in major cities where they can meet with alumni and other students. Articles that students have recently coauthored with their professors have appeared in journals as diverse as the Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management and the North East Journal of Legal Studies.
All business students are also required to complete a 30-hour field experience off campus so that they may get practical work experience in their chosen field of study. Many choose to expand these experiences into lengthier internships or experiential learning opportunities.

Excessive sweating is when you sweat more than you might expect based on the surrounding temperature or your activity level or stress. Excessive sweating can disrupt daily activities and cause social anxiety or embarrassment.
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis (hi-pur-hi-DROE-sis), can affect your entire body or just certain areas, particularly your palms, soles, underarms or face. The type that typically affects the hands and feet causes at least one episode a week, during waking hours.
If heavy sweating has no underlying medical cause, it's called primary hyperhidrosis. This type occurs when the nerves responsible for triggering your sweat glands become overactive and call for more perspiration even when it's not needed. Primary hyperhidrosis may be at least partially hereditary.
If the sweating can be attributed to an underlying medical condition, it's called secondary hyperhidrosis.
Seek immediate medical attention if your heavy sweating is accompanied by:

Home made cheese? I never thought I would be so bold as to attempt this, but life has a way of changing us, sometimes allowing us to do the previously impossible. When you tell someone "I made my own cheese," they will be astounded – – – that is, until they find out how easy it really is. To make ricotta: 5 minutes max is all it takes.
I decided it was time in my progression as a cook to attempt a home made cheese. In all the recipes I reviewed, ricotta seemed the most do-able. A good step for beginning cheese makers. And, I am happy to report success! You don't even need a thermometer – that's how easy this is!
Here's the entire "recipe:"
I was inspired by posts on two blogs – Recipe Girl and Eggs On Sunday and followed them pretty closely. Bring 2 cups whole milk and 2 cups half-and-half to a boil with a pinch of salt and boil exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Strain in a fine mesh strainer. That's it. Really.
True, it is creamy and yummy and a little less than purchased ricotta. But. To be honest, the main satisfaction you will get is not savings or taste, but in feeling competent enough to make cheese.
To show off my newly acquired cheese-making talent, I just shaved some zucchini very thin, used some sliced garden tomatoes and basil leaves, a little s & p, and – Voila! – effortless, fresh and delicious first course – Heavy on the ricotta, of course!
Other food bloggers do home made cheeses:
Home made ricotta, Simply Recipes
Home made Queso Blanco, Homesick Texan
HOme made Mascarpone, Baking Obsession
Home made Goat Cheese, Elana's Pantry
Home made Cottage Cheese, Eating Cleveland

ON Monday, President Obama said that during his second term, Americans would act together to "build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores" and that "we cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries — we must claim its promise."
The president is right that digital communication networks — especially high-capacity fiber networks reaching American homes and businesses — can be a powerful economic engine. But we are far away from being able to realize that vision, even as we cede the advantage such technology offers to other countries.
Although Julius Genachowski, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has challenged the country to build additional gigabit fiber networks — about 100 times faster than most residential connections today — his words won't advance our digital future unless they are backed up with the leadership necessary to enact pro-growth, pro-innovation and competition-enabling rules.
At the heart of the problem lie a few powerful companies with enormous influence over policy making. Both the wireless and wired markets for high-speed Internet access have become heavily concentrated, and neither is subject to substantial competition nor oversight. Companies like Time Warner Cable routinely get their way when they seek to prevent local officials from encouraging competition. At the federal level, Verizon Wireless is keeping the F.C.C. in court arguing over the scope of its regulatory powers — a move that has undermined the agency's authority.
As a result, prices are too high and speeds too slow. A third of Americans opt not to buy high-speed Internet access at home, often because they can't afford it.
Incumbents like Comcast and Verizon Wireless (now cooperating in a joint marketing venture) claim that their market is characterized by robust competition. But where is the competition when 94 percent of new wired high-speed customers bought service from their local cable distributors during the third quarter of 2012? Not surprisingly, America lags behind almost every other industrialized country in high-speed access — even France, the bête noir of American free-marketeers, has better and cheaper Internet access.
There's little question that our wired (Comcast and Time Warner Cable) and wireless (AT&T and Verizon Wireless) giants need to be reined in. We need reasonably priced, globally competitive, ubiquitous communications infrastructure so that Americans can compete and innovate.
To get there, the federal government needs to pursue three goals. First, it must remove barriers to investment in local fiber networks. Republican and Democratic mayors around the country are rightly jealous of the new, Google-built fiber network in Kansas City, Mo., which is luring start-ups from across the country. And yet in nearly 20 states, laws sponsored by incumbent network operators have raised barriers for cities wanting to foster competitive networks.
In response, Congress must act to restore local communities' right to self-determination by pre-empting these unfair and anticompetitive state laws. We must also create infrastructure banks that provide long-term, low-interest financing to support the initial costs of building these networks.
Second, the F.C.C. must make reasonably priced high-speed access available to everyone. In the 20th century, we made a commitment to provide universal telephone service to every American and to subsidize that utility service for our poor and rural neighbors. High-speed Internet access is now undisputedly the dominant communications technology of our era. We need to make sure that subsidies are available for competitive companies willing to extend world-class service to more Americans.
The F.C.C.'s Connect America Fund, which is supposed to promote such expansion, is mostly funneled back through existing communications companies. This isn't the way to encourage new wired network providers to enter local markets. Nor will voluntary programs run by local monopoly cable distributors like Comcast meet our country's needs.
Finally, the F.C.C. must foster more competition by changing the rules that keep the status quo in place. There is a raft of regulations and processes at the F.C.C. that incumbents wield to maintain their market power, including rules about access to programming and to telephone poles that favor existing providers. The agency has ample administrative power to fix these details and to gather the information it needs to develop and enforce effective policies.
We have allowed our affection for consolidation and profit-taking to shape our country's ability to compete on the global stage. Although today's communications networks should make it possible for anyone to create value, communications companies that control access in America have the ability to crush competition and innovation.
With a truly pro-competition agenda at the F.C.C., we could discover great reservoirs of increased productivity and new forms of making a living. Contrary to what giant companies like Comcast and Verizon would have us believe, communications regulation does not stymie entrepreneurial behavior. It unleashes human ingenuity.

A Little Loco...
Just the ramblings of a crazy Mom of two beautiful girls (and YaYa to many children that I adore) navigating through my snafu'd life. This blog is my way of 'clearing the cobwebs' and trying to maintain my sanity.
I have a chaotic life full of kids, rebuilding after our house burnt, coffee, my best girls, mornings in my breezeway, blogging, a full time job, screaming kids, laundry, remodeling, Asperger's/OCD Big'K, mowing, taking the trash out, Bipolar w/psychosis and RAD Lil'K, a crazy family, more kids thrown in the mix, bad plumbing, laughing until I pee my pants, electrical malfunctions, and everything else the Big G thinks He needs to throw at me on this ride we call life, all the while trying to survive being a single mother. Because let's face it...every day that I wake up, I am outnumbered!
growing up it seemed like we were always remodeling. that being said i have no idea how my parents managed to stay married, out of the poor house, or alive. i have only been at it for maybe six months and im already getting the acid taste in my mouth everytime i write a check to Lowe's or look at a box of nails.
as i sit here and look at my bathroom door i am reminded how lucky i am to at least be able to afford to do these chores. and i know that eventually the house will fulfill its purpose and win over my heart with is great appraisal that i am killing myself working towards. at that point i will be able to reap the rewards with my bank worth of equity.
and then...
it will start all over again with the addition!!

Colorado State commitment from LB Deonte Wortham now a tenuous one
ARLINGTON, Texas – If new Colorado State coach Jim McElwain still wants Dallas-area linebacker Deonte Wortham among the commitments in his first class of recruits he'll have to battle for him.
The 6-1, 230-pound Wortham, who finished his senior season at Wilmer-Hutchins, is once again considering all of his options.
Since the beginning of the football season those options have increased as other schools have wedged in, Wilmer-Hutchins coach Elzie Barnett said.
"He's still committed to Colorado State," Barnett said, but added Wortham is now "taking four (recruiting) trips in January."
Today is the last day of the current contact period before it shuts down until January. Colleges can begin getting back in touch with recruits on Jan. 4-7 and then again from Jan. 15-28.
As of Friday, neither Wortham – CSU's first commitment in this cycle – nor any of his support group had heard from McElwain or any coaching representative from CSU. Meanwhile, McElwain has already made an immediate splash in the Colorado prep football recruiting market, securing a commitment from Highlands Ranch athlete Joe Hansley while locking in the commitment of Fountain-Fort Carson linebacker Kevin Davis.

There were also chunks of blueberries in the bar. I was very pleased with this bar. I honestly can't tell you which of the 3 flavors I have tried is my favorite at this point in time. I love them all. 🙂

The Problem with Parallel Participants Professing Priority
There are two kinds of priority in the CHP style of concurrent programming: priority on processes and priority on events. Priority on processes is about specifying that a high-priority process P should run whenever possible, at the expense of a low-priority process Q. This is difficult to co-ordinate across multiple cores (especially if lightweight threads are used, as in Haskell) and isn't offered by all run-times. The priority I am interested in discussing in this post is that of events: specifying that if two events A and B are ready to complete, A should happen in preference to B.
There is an immediate problem with local priorities over events, where each process separately specifies its priorities to the events it is offering. Imagine that you offer to either go to the cinema, or go bowling, and you prefer (i.e. give priority to) the cinema. Your friend also offers to go to the cinema or to go bowling, but they prefer (give priority to) bowling. For a one-off choice of doing one thing, there is no amount of algorithmic cleverness that can resolve such situations to the satisfaction of both parties. So local priorities,where both sides can specify their own priorities, are fairly meaningless because in general they cannot be resolved correctly.
One way to solve this is to only allow one side to specify a priority. The occam language did this; only processes reading from channels were allowed to specify priority, not the writers. (In fact, only processes reading from channels were allowed to offer a choice!) This means that the priorities can always be satisfied because you only have one set of priorities to resolve in each choice. This falls down with barriers — it becomes difficult to specify which synchronising process of many is allowed to offer priorities.
Another solution is to have global priorities instead. If we specify up-front that the cinema is always better than bowling, there can be no dispute when we make our offers for activities for the evening. This could be implemented, for example, by assigning a global integer priority to all events (perhaps with 0 as the default). I gather that global priorities make things difficult for formal reasoning in CSP, but that does not mean we cannot use it.
CHP and Prioritised Choice
So what does CHP do? Events do not currently have global priority (although I would like to implement it at some point). There is an unprioritised choice operator, <-> (with a list form: alt), which is commutative and associative. But there is also a prioritised choice operator, </> (with a list form: priAlt), which is associative but not, of course, commutative. Its existence is partly a historical hangover from the first version of CHP (which was a more direct conversion from occam), and it has some slightly intricate semantics, which I'll describe here in terms of the list form.
The relative positions in the list of any guards involving reading from channels, writing to channels, or synchronising on barriers are discounted. So priAlt [readChannel c, syncBarrier b] is the same as priAlt [syncBarrier b, readChannel c]. The position of any stop guards is irrelevant because they will never trigger. The position of any skip guards is important in relation to all the other guards. priAlt (skip : others) is guaranteed to choose the first guard, regardless of what comes after. Similarly, priAlt (initialGuards ++ [skip] ++ otherGuards) will never choose any of the otherGuards, but if any of the initialGuards are ready, they will be chosen in preference to the skip. Effectively, skip is like an early terminator for the list of guards passed to priAlt (but don't go overboard — I don't think passing an infinite list of guards will work, even if skip is early on). In contrast, the presence of skip guards in an unprioritised choice is generally wrong; the outcome of alt [readChannel c, skip] is non-deterministic, even if c is ready.
Generally in my examples on the blog, I have always avoided the use of priAlt and </> in favour of alt and <-> because the former is only really different to the latter when skip guards are present, and thus the latter form, being more clearly an unprioritised choice, is better. There is one, slightly inelegant, use for prioritised choice though: polling. Imagine that you want to poll to see if a channel is ready. If it is, you are happy to read from it, but if it's not ready yet, you want to continue on and do something else. That is easy to capture: readChannel c </> skip. In fact, it is possible to capture this as a helper function:
poll :: CHP a -> CHP (Maybe a) poll c = (Just <$> c) </> (skip >> return Nothing)
You can even nest these things; this code will check channels c and d for readiness (if both are ready, either might be taken), and return Nothing only if neither is ready:
poll (alt [readChannel c, readChannel d])
It is also important to be aware that this polling is only a snapshot of the current state. If you poll channel c, you have no guarantee that the result of the poll will still hold by the time you get the result. So if you poll channel c, and find it is not ready, it may have turned ready by the time you examine the result and make a subsequent decision. A particularly bad use would be to have both ends polling: if one process continually polls to read from c, and the other process continually polls to write to c, depending on timing, it is quite possible that no communication will ever take place. It is only really a good idea to use polling if you know the other end will stay committed to the action once offered (i.e. that it is not offering a choice of events).
Emulating Priority
This pattern can also be used to give one event a form of priority over another. This code:
readChannel c </> (skip >> alt [readChannel c, readChannel d])
First checks to see if c was ready. If so, it takes it, otherwise it waits for the next event of c and d. So it gives a form of priority to c. This is not foolproof priority; if another process later offers c and d there is no guarantee that c will be chosen, so it only provides real priority if different processes are offering the events involved.

The following information has been gleaned from the Thirteenth Biennial Report of the Bureau of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics of the State of Kentucky 1898-1899, Lucas Moore, Commissioner and accessed through Google Books.
By an act of the Legislature of Kentucky, approved December 29, 1806, Hopkins was, in the year 1807, formed into a county. This territory was taken from the southern portion of Henderson county. It is bounded on the north and northwest by Webster county, on the west by Caldwell, on the south by Christian and on the east by Muhlenberg and McLean. Tradewater river, a small and unnavigable stream, forms the boundary between Hopkins and Caldwell, while Pond river, another small stream, marks the boundary between this and Muhlenberg and McLean counties. The county was named in honor of General Stephen Hopkins, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Where orchards have received proper care and attention they have paid most liberally. The Rev. J.F. Storey, who lives near Madisonville, the county seat, has been a most successful grower of all kinds of fruit and more especially of strawberries.
The coal fields of Hopkins county are almost inexhaustible. More than one fourth of the coal mined in the State of Kentucky is taken from the mines of this county. The St. Bernard, with headquarters at Earlington, has three large mines, one at Earlington, one at Morton's Gap, and one at St. Charles. There is the Hecla, near Earlington, the Ilsey mines, the Carbondale mines, the Stull mines, the mines at Barnsley, and two at Madisonville, the Rienecke, and the Monarch. All these mines are in a prosperous condition. This gives employment to a large force of men and their families. One good thing may be said for our mines and their management, we have no strikes here.
Hopkins county is a fine agricultural district. Here nearly everything that can be grown in Kentucky can be produced from our soil. Tobacco is the leading staple and this finds a ready sale in the markets of the world. There are less than a dozen countries in the world that produce more pounds of tobacco than does Hopkins county.
There are 88 white school districts and about 30 districts for the education of the colored students. In each and every one of these district there is a public school taught every year for a term of five months. In many of these districts the terms are 8, 9 or 10 months. In Madisonville are several private schools where the higher branches are taught. The West Kentucky Normal School is located here and has a good patronage.
Madisonville is the county seat. It is on the Henderson division of the L. & N. railroad, 50 miles south of Evansville, Ind. and 107 miles north of Nashville, Tenn. It has a population of about 4,500 and is one of most progressive towns in this portion of the state. Other post offices include: Ansonia, Ashbyburg, Barnsley, Charleston, Dalton, Dawson Springs, Earlington, Gilliland, Hamby Station, Hanson, Ilsley, Manitou, Morton's Gap, Nebo, Nortonville, Olney, Richland, St. Charles, Silentrum, Veazy, Whiteplains, Yarbro.

A Look at Hopkins County

Very interesting. Hopkins Co's historian Carl Veazey has shown us old Stagecoach routes through the town. I live near Stagecoach Road where an 1800's home still resides with a historical marker nearby. Nebo was famous for tobacco warehouses. Many of the old coal towns had coal company stores including the one in Earlington that was near my office. It was called, "the company store". Miners could get things at the store as part of their paycheck directly without using cash tender. The famous song documents this from Muhlenberg County, " I owe my soul to the company store."

Tips From The Top Pros For The Proper Care And Feeding Of Your New Race Engine
There are many scenarios that require you to lay out hard-earned cash for a race engine. Maybe you are new to racing and starting from scratch. Maybe you are moving up a class. Maybe you ran it hotter than a stove and blew it sky high (don't worry, we won't tell anyone). Regardless, we know you want a perfect home for your new engine to live and provide you plenty of power for a long time. With that in mind, Circle Track contacted some of the top pros in the industry for their tips on raising a happy, healthy engine.
Don't Get Double-Crossed
Wiring the ignition system can affect a lot of racers. MSD is kind of the standard in the industry, but the plug between the distributor and the ignition box isn't watertight. A lot of racers cut off the connector that MSD uses and install a GM weatherpack connector, which is definitely an upgrade in terms of keeping out water.
It's easy to get the polarities reversed when you do this, however. The connector is only composed of four wires-two from the distributor, which connect to two leading to the ignition box. The problem is that the wires don't match up. The two leading out of the distributor are black with a colored stripe. One stripe is orange and the other is violet. The two wires out of the distributor box are solid violet and solid green. You might think that the black-and-violet wire connects to the violet wire on the ignition box, but it doesn't. The black-and-orange wire connects to the violet wire, and the black-and-violet wire connects to the green wire. It's impossible to get it wrong because MSD's connector comes attached from the factory, and it's keyed so that you cannot plug it in if reversed. When you're splicing in your own connector, it's easy to get confused. We've seen a lot of people in this situation.
When the wires get crossed, it creates an error and 22.5 degrees extra advance. Plus, the ignition is firing sporadically because it's working on the wrong side of the pickup coil inside the distributor. The motor won't tolerate this. Then it gets worse because guys will drop a new engine in, get the wires reversed, and never check the timing because they assume it must be correct as it just came from the dyno. They end up bringing the engine back to the builder in a basket, wondering what happened. The first thing we'll check is the ignition system.
The good news is the fix is simple. If you are putting weatherpacks on your ignition system, just remember that the violet-and-black wire connects to green. Now you are home free.

The Break-In Blues
Oval track engines with big mechanical cams have to be properly broken in. I know it's tempting when you get that new engine installed to rev it up a few times to impress the neighbors, but if the engine hasn't been broken in on a dyno, that's one of the worst things you can do to it.
A new engine needs to be run at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for 11/42 hour to 45 minutes. That's enough to get the rings to seal and break in the valvesprings so that they don't disintegrate as soon as you run the engine hard. I recommend using high-grade detergent oil, and don't put any strain on the engine. You need to keep the rpm between 1,500 and 2,000 to keep the oil moving through the engine. You need oil pressure at the camshaft and oil splashing up on the valvetrain, and you don't get that at the level you need at idle. Every two to five minutes, give the throttle a little rev to keep the carburetor cleaned out. You don't want the engine to stall because it's real hard on a new cam if you have to start the engine up again.
After you have run the engine for 30 to 45 minutes, shut it off and check everything. Check for water and oil leaks, and maybe change the oil. Now is also a good time to re-check your lash as well as re-torque the head bolts. Now you are ready to race.

Trust Your Builder
You put a lot of faith in your engine builder in terms of the money you spend on his product, so you might as well trust his judgement on the engine's settings. A lot of guys experiment with different things on their own and end up hurting power. Take, for example, spark-plug heat range. If an engine comes from the builder with plugs in it, I recommend using that type of plug. As an engine builder, I can get a lot closer to the ideal heat range than a driver can. It's the same with valve lash issues and other adjustable components on the engine. Before changing a lot of different things, make sure you check with the engine builder to see what he recommends. He's put in a lot of time and effort to dial in all the settings and maximize the engine, so if you go changing a lot of things just to see what will happen, you're likely to find yourself going in the wrong direction.

Matching Components
Racers are always looking for a better combination of components that will either give them an edge on the track or make their lives easier. Unfortunately, not every combination of parts from different sources works like you might expect. You have to be careful.
We specialize in Toyota four-cylinder engines, and last season we had a problem with a couple of customers installing Chevrolet-style hydraulic throwout bearings with the clutch. For oval track racers running the Celicas, we recommend a mechanical clutch fork. The hydraulic throwout bearing puts too much pressure on the crankshaft, which ends up blowing out the throwout bearing and seizes up the motor. You have to be careful when mixing different aftermarket components
In more general terms, one problem we've seen customers have is a failure to properly clean all the lines when installing a new engine. If you have a blown engine, it probably has sent metal throughout the oil system if it's a dry sump or remote filter. Some customers might clean out the fuel lines with carb cleaner, but they don't do anything to flush out anything else-the filters or even the oil pan. You have to be careful to thoroughly clean every system. We've started recommending Mag Filter for all our race engines. It is a magnet that mounts right on the oil filter, and it's amazing what it traps during the course of a race.
Finally, I suggest that you have your cam timing and ignition timing set up for the rpm range you expect to be running. We can have three cars with identical engines at the same track, but each driver has a different driving style, or maybe he or she has a different gear ratio. By finding out where the customer is most comfortable driving, we can tune the motor and cam for the appropriate rpm range. A lot of guys don't do that, and I don't think they understand the advantage of being able to adjust the camshaft timing, for example. I think our most frequent calls from our racers are in regards to camshaft timing, because people don't know what's possible. There is a misconception out there as to what advancing or retarding a camshaft does to an engine. Are you getting more top end or bottom end?
Again, the phone call I get is, "I've got six of my friends telling me one thing and six friends telling me something else." They want to know the truth, so they are asking questions, but they aren't always asking the right people. How do you know your friends really understand what happens if you advance the camshaft 2 degrees? I definitely recommend asking the industry leaders-don't depend on the guy in the pit stall next to you. Call the guys who built your motor or built the components that went into your motor, because they understand how it makes its power. We want to be able to support the guys who buy our engines because we want to make sure they run up front, and I'm sure other engine builders are the same way.

Timing Is Everything
A problem I see from guys who are new to racing is that they aren't sure how to set the timing on their engines. Let's say they have an aftermarket balancer with a degree tape on it that says 32 degrees. They also have an adjustable timing light whereby they can dial in 32 degrees on the back. Well, they've got 32 degrees in their heads, they set the timing light for 32 degrees, then mark the balancer on 32 and wind up with 64 degrees of timing.
Yes, the engine will crank and run with the timing set that far advanced. But when you go out on the track, it will knock the bearings out. I've seen it happen too many times.
Another tip I have for new racers is to always make sure you allow the engine to warm up properly. This is especially important for a new engine. You've got to let the water and oil temps come up to operating temperature before you start stressing the engine. When the fluid temps are still cold, that means that your bearing clearances are still tight also. Cold oil is thick, and when you combine that with tight bearings, you run the risk of not getting all the oil you need where you need it.
If you're racing an alcohol motor, it can be really tough to get that motor warmed up, especially early in the season when it's still cold outside. Guys will just let it sit and idle, and the motor will never warm up. Instead, it ends up running rich and milking the oil. If the carburetor has air bleeds on the side, you can actually lean out the air bleeds so that the carburetor won't run too rich while you are sitting at idle. Also, if you have a fan blade on the motor that's always spinning, I recommend putting a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to block the flow of cool air. Both of those tricks help when you're trying to bring an alcohol motor up to temperature.
A third thing that you need to be aware of is how you service your K&N air filter. Filter problems are actually more common than you might think. Not too long ago, we had a guy bring his car back to us. He was down on power so we put his car on the chassis dyno to find out what was going on. He had already chased this power problem all over the place and replaced several thousand dollars worth of parts-ignition, carburetor, all kinds of stuff.
We finally found the problem almost by accident. I had taken off the filter because I wanted to watch the booster when we put the gas to it, and the engine suddenly picked back up. His K&N filter had gotten dirty, and he had decided to wash it with laundry detergent. That's the last thing you want to do because the detergent clogs up the gauze material of the filter, and then the filter won't breathe any air. K&N makes a filter cleaner that doesn't harm the filter material, and I recommend you use only that.
Make sure your air filter is properly sealed. This is vital if you are racing on dirt. Sometimes you won't get a good seal all the way around, between the filter and the filter cover, and it will allow dirt to be sucked in through that crack. You can seal that off by running a tiny lip of grease all the way around the filter on both the top and the bottom. This helps seal the filter to the cover so that the only way air can get into the engine is through the filter material.

Electric Power Equals Horsepower
Make sure that your engine is getting at least the 12 volts it is designed to run on. If you are running an MSD ignition, and the alternator is down and you aren't getting the voltage you need, your power is going to suffer. We encourage our customers to purchase a voltmeter and check regularly to make sure the alternator is putting out around 13.5 volts. All you have to do is ground one of your leads and then hold the other one to your alternator output. You have to rev up the engine a little. Those things don't start putting out until about 3,000 rpm. If you aren't getting around 13.5 volts, you probably need to replace your alternator.
Overall, electrical problems are something that new racers often struggle with. A lot of times, they are looking for a mechanical problem and missing the real cause because it's electrical. Often it's something as simple as a poor ground. We've had occasions when somebody brought an engine back, claiming that it didn't run like they thought it should, and it turned out that the engine wasn't properly grounded. You would think a race car with metal all over it would be a good ground, but nowadays, with the tough powder coatings that people are putting on the chassis and the zinc-coated motor mounts, it can be tough getting a good ground. We recommend running a ground from the back of the cylinder head to a rollbar. Before bolting it on, grind off any powder coat or paint so that you have a clean, metal-to-metal contact.
We've also had problems in the past with racers not getting their engines full of water. About everything that races on Saturday night these days is designed like a Chevrolet Monte Carlo that's low-slung in the front. As the radiator has been lowered over the years, it has become common for the highest point in the cooling system to be somewhere in the engine and not the radiator fill cap. If you simply fill the radiator with water, and if the top of the engine is higher than the fill point, you will trap air pockets in the engine and have serious cooling problems.
You can fix that by mounting what we call a surge system-basically an overflow tank-on the firewall a little higher than the engine. When you fill the coolant, fill from the surge tank. That will flow from the tank, to the radiator, and onto the engine. As long as the top of the tank is the highest point in the system, you shouldn't have a problem.

Cold Lash
Contrary to popular opinion, I believe that adjusting the valves should be done with the engine at room temperature whenever possible. We have run several tests, both in the shop and on the dyno, and we have found that adjusting valves on a "hot" engine isn't always ideal. During the time it takes to adjust the valve lash, or just check them, the engine cools off significantly. This change in temperature leads to a variation in component expansion and clearances. Allowing an engine to cool down for the few minutes it takes to check 16 valves can change valve lash significantly from cylinder to cylinder.
Because of this unpredictability in temperature and component expansion, I believe the best way to check and set the valve lash is with the engine at a constant temperature-and the best way to do this is with the engine at room temperature. The general rules of thumb for adjusting at room temperature are as follows:
Cast-iron block with cast-iron heads: Adjust 0.002 looser than specs
Cast-iron block with aluminum heads: Adjust 0.004 tighter than specs
Aluminum block with aluminum heads: Adjust 0.010 tighter than specs
This is just a baseline. With a new engine, I usually check the valves at room temperature, then bring the engine up to operating temperature and check them again to verify the difference between the hot and cold lash. Now I know the difference and can make my adjustments on a "cold" engine accordingly.
Also, on roller rockers, do not run the feeler gauge in and out in line with the roller. The roller will give you a false feeling of lash. Always run the gauge sideways when checking lash. And it's always a good idea to keep records of what valve, or valves, required adjustment during each check. This could be a telltale sign that something is about to fail.
If the valve lash is too great, a cam lobe may be failing or a roller lifter axle bearing may be worn. If the lash is too tight, it may be a sign that the seat is getting beat up or the valves are sinking in the head. All in all, it's a good way to catch a problem before it gets ugly.
I have found that the easiest way to adjust valves is to start on the number one cylinder (firing order) and adjust both valves on this cylinder. Then rotate the engine 90 degrees, go to the next cylinder in the firing order, and adjust both valves on it. Continue this pattern all the way through the firing order. By following this method, you will adjust each cylinder on TDC when both valves are closed-no guesswork. Most balancers are marked 270/180/90/TDC. If your balancer isn't marked, it's easy enough to do yourself.
Also, when breaking in a new flat-tappet camshaft, it's a good idea to leave the valves a little on the "loose" side to help the cam, lifters, and spring survive the break-in period.

Logging into Twitter potentially just got a whole lot safer. The company has unveiled its own form of two-step authentication called login verification.
Although not the first platform to offer enhanced security, recent hacking of high-profile accounts make it most welcome. When signing into your Twitter account at twitter.com, a second check in the form of a text message delivered to your registered phone helps to ensure it's you.
Here's how to add it to your account.
First, make sure you are signed into Twitter on twitter.com. Then, click on the gear icon and choose "settings." Scroll down until you see "account security" and "require a verification code when I sign in." Check that box. If you don't have a registered phone number attached to your Twitter account, there's a link to add it there.
Once you are set up, you'll receive an SMS message each time you sign in at twitter.com. You'll see a screen that asks you to enter that number before your sign-in will work.
The good news is if you are already logged into Twitter when you activate login verification, you won't be kicked out. But you will need a temporary password if you log in afterward to any site that requires your twitter credentials. You can find more information about this under the applications tab of your account settings.
Of course, this doesn't mean your password should be 123456. While two-step login verification adds an extra step in order to access your account, practicing safe social is still important. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
•Use a unique and complex password. Ideally, your password will contain a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, symbols and numbers, are at least eleven characters in length, do not spell anything and are not used on other accounts. Better to have "fGJs239#GY9&mjg" as a terribly inconvenient password and never have an account breach than to have an easily remembered password and have your account compromised. (Just be sure you store your password someplace safe so you can remember it.)
•Review apps and add-ons regularly. Be sure to review all apps and add-ons associated with your Twitter account (and other accounts) regularly, as each app and add-on is a potential access point. Remove apps and add-ons you no longer use. In the event of a compromised account, immediately revoke access of apps and add-ons to further protect your accounts. (Always use strong, unique passwords for apps, add-ons and other account extensions, too.)
•Use common sense when accessing viral content through Twitter. When a large volume of content is available around a news story from many sources, the spread of malware and system viruses also increases. If you see a story or photo on a social network that seems suspicious or too unbelievable to be true, trust your gut. If you want to be sure, Google the story and access it directly instead of clicking through via Twitter.
•Watch for spam and phishing. We've all seen strange tweets that appear to be a friend warning us of a "bad blog post" or "hilarious photo." If you receive a tweet that seems out of character or suspicious, avoid clicking on the accompanying link, as the account may be compromised. Avoiding links spread by these breached accounts will help avoid exposing your log-in credentials as well. Better still, be a good neighbor online and politely notify the account-holder that his or her account may have been breached to further help mitigate the damage.
Also be on the lookout for email "phishing," which generally arrives in the form of an email that appears to be from Twitter or other sites, warning you of a potential account security breach and instructing you to click through to your account. Most phishing emails looks nearly identical to ones genuinely sent by Twitter and other sites. The problem? Clicking through takes you elsewhere, and potentially exposes your log-in information. If you receive such an email and aren't sure, the simplest thing to do is to open a new browser window and go directly to twitter.com (without clicking on the link in the email) where you will be able to deal with any issues by logging in directly. The important thing to remember is that if an email seems suspicious, avoid clicking on any links within the email.
Ultimately, the common-sense rules that apply to safety in our day-to-day lives also apply here: If you see something that seems out of place, speak up. If someone in your community is in trouble, give them a hand. If something seems too good to be true, trust your instincts and steer clear.

Lower Albina: Video Tour
Take a Virtual Walking Tour of the Lower Albina Subdistrict
In September, 2010, the project team led two community walks around the N/NE Quadrant. On the two-hour tours, staff and community members learned about the N/NE Quadrant and offered ideas about how the area could be improved.
Below, you'll find video clips from the Lower Albina tour in which project staff and walk participants describe issues related to specific locations in the N/NE Quadrant. You can also take the virtual walking tour yourself with this handy Google map, which shows the path of the walk and the locations at which each video was shot.
Do you have your own ideas about these locations? Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this page in the comments section. Or, if you're able, go ahead and film your own video and post it on the Google map!

Stop 1: Portland Public Schools Headquarters
Portland Public Schools' (PPS) Blanchard Headquarters is a 10.5 acre property on the border between the Lloyd and Lower Albina Districts. PPS is no longer in need of such an expansive centralized facility, but the costs associated with moving from the Blanchard site are very high. With its location adjacent to the Rose Quarter and direct access to downtown over the Broadway Bridge and to North Portland via Interstate Avenue and the Vancouver/Williams corridor, this location could be ideal for a number of different development types. In the N/NE Quadrant Project, it will be important to consider whether zoning changes or other strategies should be considered to encourage redevelopment between now and 2035 and to conceptualize what that redevelopment could look like.
Stops 2 and 3: I-5 Broadway/Weidler Interchange
The transportation demands on this portion of the N/NE Quadrant are significant. It contains the on- and off-ramps for the north- and south-bound lanes of I-5, commuter traffic to and from downtown along Broadway/Weidler, freight traffic serving the businesses and entertainment destinations in the N/NE Quadrant, bicycle commuters along the Vancouver/Williams corridor and pedestrian and auto and pedestrian traffic for the Rose Quarter and Convention Center. Streetcar will be up-and-running along NE Broadway and NE Weidler in 2012. In planning for the area's future, it is important to think about how to make sure the flow of people and goods through this area remains safe and efficient.
Stop 4: Neighborhood and I-5 Opportunities
This area is a transition point between the Central City and the more residential portions of the Eliot Neighborhood. While portions of the area are currently zoned for high density residential, the area contains many small commercial/industrial uses. Looking to the future, what should development look like (height, density) in order to transition from the Central City and I-5 to the lower-density, residential neighborhood? Is mixed-use development including some residential, commercial and light industrial uses appropriate here? Given that the area is bordered by I-5 to the west, any changes to the freeway over passes could impact access to and from the area.
Stop 5: Lillis Albina City Park and View Corridor
Lillis Albina Park is the only public park in the Lower Albina area of the N/NE Quadrant. Existing regulations protect the view corridor from the park to Old Town and the Pearl District, limiting the height of any new development in an area southwest of the park. However, this view corridor is currently obscured by a grove of fir trees, which are also a significant asset to the park. Given that future development opportunities to the south and west of the park might contribute to a more vibrant quadrant and Central City, should the view corridor remain as it is today?
Stop 6: Russell Street Conservation District
Lower Albina is a successful urban mixed industrial district with a small mixed-use and commercial area on historic Russell Street. With the somewhat recent addition of light rail along Interstate Avenue there could be redevelopment opportunities, however the properties immediately adjacent to the MAX station are not zoned for mixed-use. The remainder of the area is a productive light-industrial sanctuary that provides many jobs to Portlanders. How can we ensure new development supports, rather than detracts from, the success of this employment area?

How do we understand the world? While some look to the heavens for intelligent design, others argue that it is determined by information encoded in DNA. Science serves as an important activity for uncovering the processes and operations of nature, but it is also immersed in a social context where ideology influences the questions we ask and how we approach the material world. Biology Under the Influence breaks from the confines of determinism, offering a dialectical analysis for comprehending a dynamic social and natural world.
In Biology Under the Influence, Richard Lewontin and Richard Levins provide a devastating critique of genetic determinism and reductionism within science while exploring a broad range of issues including the nature of science, biology, evolution, the environment, public health, and dialectics. They dismantle the ideology that attempts to naturalize social inequalities, unveil the alienation of science and nature, and illustrate how a dialectical position serves as a basis for grappling with historical developments and a world characterized by change. Biology Under the Influence brings together the illuminating essays of two prominent scientists who work to demystify and empower the public's understanding of science and nature.Variations
In this major collection of essays, Lewontin and Levins range from the Human Genome Project and evolutionary psychology to Cuban agriculture. Throughout their work is illuminated by an insistence on a dialectical understanding of biology from the molecular to the socio-ecological. In rejecting reductionist understandings, they offer important insights into how biology-and science in general-could be reconceptualized in the service of human liberation.
