So i'm trying to simplify this process as much as possible and give this know how further to you all. Pre-requisite is that you have read and done all the steps from the post: How to install PhoneGap on Windows. So i'll assume you have done those steps and are ready to start.
ATTENTION: In this post we are gonna see a PhoneGap Project (with plain javascript).
If you are looking for an Android App Project (with plain Java) so go to: First Android App Step by Step
We will learn how to:
- download and install PhoneGap
- create a new Android App Project
- change the project from Java to Javascript
- prepare the Activity-Class to work with PhoneGap
- create a simple index.html file to run on the App
- prepare the Manifest-file before running it
- to run the App
- shortcut all those steps
Download and install PhoneGapGo to PhoneGap and download the newst version of it and unzip it in any place you want. (at the time i wrote this post it was PhoneGap 2.2.0) I recommend to unzip it in the development directory C:\development as described in the post How to install PhoneGap on Windows. You should see a structure like this bellow.
So before going ahead lets do some changes here. Select the folder phonegap-phonegap-8a3aa47 and press Ctrl+X, go into C\development and paste it here with Ctrl+V and rename it to phonegap-2.2.0 so that you have the new structure as shown bellow. After that delete the empty folder called: phonegap-phonegap-2.2.0-0-g8a3aa47.
Creating a new Android App ProjectOk, now lets create a normal Android App Project first before comming back to this new PhoneGap structure. Start Eclipse if not already running and press Ctrl+N to start the project wizard and create a new project like that: (See picture sequence bellow and don't worry about the details at this point. As soon as we get further we will understand it.)
Thats the result if everything goes fine. At this point this App is still a plain java project. We will change it now to a PhoneGap App in a few minutes. Don't worry about the App name or other properties at this point of the post. We can change everything if we want. Let's keep the focus on the really important setup things we shall know.
Changing the project from Java to Javascript PhoneGap AppFirst create a new folder called www and a new file called index.html. both in the project folder assets. By me it looks like this:
Ok, that's the interresting part of it. To do this, go back now to the PhoneGap structure we've unzipped in the C:\ directory and look for the android folder in it. By me it looks like C:\development\phonegap-2.2.0\lib\android and then you should see the picture bellow: (locate the points 1) 2) and 3) of it)
Copy now the point 1) 2) and 3) in the project structure the way you see bellow.
Prepare the Activity-ClassOk we are almost done. Just a few changes before running it. In the eclipse locate the src-folder and open the MainActivity.java class in it and change it that way you'll see bellow: (I leave the comments so you can see what I've changed)
import org.apache.cordova.DroidGap; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; public class MainActivity extends /* Activity */DroidGap { // @Override // protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html"); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } }
Content of Index.htmlOk now copy paste this HTML-Code into the index.html file we've created in the assets-folder.
<!DOCTYPE HTML><title>First App</title>
Welcome to PhoneGap

Edit assets/www/index.html

Prepare the Manifest-File before launchingIn the manifest file called AndroidManifest.xml make sure you have inserted the following code in it:(Tip: in order to not do it all by hand, look at C:\development\phonegap-2.2.0\lib\android\example\AndroidManifest.xml and copy/paste it from there.)
Running the AppSelect your MainActivity.java file and run it as Android application. (make sure you've an AVD installed as we have seen in the post How to install PhoneGap on Windows) If everything goes well you'll see that picture bellow. Thats all. From here you can now develop your app further.
Setup-Shortcut for the Developers under usOk there is a even better way to do this.(I've shown all steps first so we do not overwhelm us with to much stoff) Delete the folder www in the eclipse project. Then look into PhoneGap directory C:\development\phonegap-2.2.0\lib\android\example\assets There you'll encounter a sample structure. Just copy it into assets folder like i did bellow instead of doing it by hand. It should look like this if you run it:
Another good short-cut the youtube video PhoneGap Android Tutorial.
That's all. Now let's develop some "real" PhoneGap Apps. ;-)) Have fun!

Washington: Britney Spears, who recently broke up with her fiance Jason Trawick, has now returned the 90,000-dollar engagement ring back to him.
According to sources close to the Spears, the pop diva returned the 3-carat diamond ring back to Trawick, 41, shortly after announcing that they were no longer together, Us magazine reported.
Trawick, who formerly also managed Spears' career, had asked the question back in December 2011 after the couple began dating in 2009.

Washing Coal Could Save Lives in India
Coal has been a mainstay of Indian energy. It accounts for 63% of India's energy consumption, and demand is set to grow dramatically over the coming decades. Coal use for electricity generation is projected to grow 2% every year, almost doubling its share of India's generating capacity by 2030. According to the International Energy Agency, India is likely to become the second-largest consumer of coal, surpassing the United States in the next five years.
Because coal is both cheap and abundant domestically, it may seem like the perfect solution to India's energy and electricity woes. However, using coal comes with severe health, environmental, and economic effects. As quality of life improves for most Indians on one hand from economic progress, many could be subject to the vagaries of this dirty pollutant. Also, as the world moves closer to a consensus on climate change, using coal at this growing rate may become untenable.
Two recent studies shed light on the huge environmental damage that is done by coal-fired power plants in India. Professor Maureen Cropper and her co-authors at the University of Maryland estimated premature cardiopulmonary deaths associated with air emissions from 89 power plants from all over India. Last week, Professor Cropper presented their analysis in a World Bank seminar. Their study attributes on average 650 deaths per plant per year to directly emitted sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions from coal plants.
Another recent study published by Greenpeace and authored by Sarath Guttikunda and Puja Jawahar presents more dramatic results than the Cropper study. It suggests that in 2011-2012, emissions from Indian coal plants resulted in 80,000 to 115,000 premature deaths and more than 20 million asthma cases from exposure to particulate pollution with an associated cost of $3.3 billion to $4.6 billion.

I was thinking about Northeastern, which I think is probably underrated as they tend to downplay LSAT/GPA a little in their admissions which would bring down their ranking. I really like the school, but have gotten into a couple of much better ranked schools (Loyola and American) and am having a hard time not going for the better ranked schools.
NYC is more of a megalopolis. Once portland builds up some of those funny looking buildings that hold tons of people they will definetly grow.

Poets read to rapt audiences, and authors of fiction tried to explain the creative process. Celebrity chefs lured big crowds to sit under a hot sun, and mystery writers answered questions in SRO auditoriums. There was something for almost everyone at the 16th annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, held this past weekend on the USC campus. What follows is a sampling of reports on the festival from the Jacket Copy blog.
Meeting Ginsberg
Before she read a section from "Just Kids," punk poetess Patti Smith set up the audience to laugh. "It has its beauty," she said of her memoir, and "it has its sorrow." But Smith said she would be reading something funny instead.
And it was, but there was a moment when Smith had to pause, a rush of sorrow greeting her from the page, making her voice waver. She took a breath and then carried on — for herself, for the packed audience in Bovard Auditorium at USC and for her love for the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who asked her to write the story of their friendship the day before he died in 1989.
Smith was not reading a passage about Mapplethorpe, but rather about the first time she met poet Allen Ginsberg in New York City. "Are you a girl?" Ginsberg asked, after spotting her a dime so she could get a sandwich.
The rapt audience, which had gathered Saturday to hear Smith and fellow memoirist Dave Eggers converse, roared with laughter.
Eggers and Smith are both artists who work in a variety of media — music, design, poetry and community-building — and they convey a sense that art is both a lofty ideal and a daily slog.
Smith said she felt blessed to have a calling to be an artist, while Eggers said he felt guilty. Hunched in what he called his "writing position" in his shed/studio, eking out a few hundred words a day, Eggers thinks about people who are "really working for a living."
Where Eggers was often self-deprecating about his artistic gifts, Smith, mother to all the scrappy, anarchist souls, sought to soothe him and by extension everyone in the audience. "The emotional force of art is one of the things that's kept me happy," she said. "I've had hard times, lots of loss ... but I feel a calling to do this. It walks with me every day."
— Margaret Wappler
Fact-check fun
Kicking off the Festival of Books' banquet of panels at Bing Theater on Sunday, novelist Jonathan Lethem spoke about the occupational hazards that come with melding contemporary cultural references with richly drawn fiction.
In a reply to a question from moderator and Los Angeles Times staff writer Carolyn Kellogg on the Internet's impact on readers' investigation of his work, Lethem described the curious situation that resulted when the notoriously detailed fact-checkers from the New Yorker magazine called him with a concern about an excerpt from his 2009 novel, "Chronic City."
Referencing made-up band Zeroville (which itself is a reference to Steve Erickson's novel of the same name), the piece referred to the band's having never played the iconic New York City punk club CBGB.
The fact-checker, citing a Zeroville record review available online, advised Lethem that Zeroville had in fact played CBGB. Of course, the review was written by Lethem and was just as fictional as the band in this case, but the novelist relished the idea of his fictional worlds colliding.
"In this case I don't mind being wrong," Lethem playfully replied to the fact-checker. "In my book they didn't play CBGB, but I know they did, it's OK."
— Chris Barton
Matters of form
"Breaking Boundaries," one of the first panels of the festival Saturday morning, featured four authors who flirt with the boundaries of form. Benjamin Hale, Olga Grushin, L.A. Times Book Prize-fiction finalist Frederick Reiken and Times Book Prize-fiction winner Jennifer Egan have not written traditional novels, if you can even call the books "novels" in the first place.
Tellingly, Hale's book, "The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore," narrated by a chimp "in love with humanity," is probably the most conventional novel in the group. Based on true events, Grushin's "The Line" tells the story of a Soviet family that waits in line for a year for tickets to see conductor Igor Stravinsky. Their alternating perspectives are interwoven with dreams in what Grushin calls a "universal fairy tale."
Both Reiken and Egan describe their books — "Day for Night" and Pulitzer-prize winning "A Visit From the Goon Squad," respectively — as linked story collections rather than novels. Egan didn't even allow the word "novel" to appear on the hardcover edition of the book (though the word has since been added to the paperback).
Moderator Richard Rayner had each author read selections from their work and then opened the discussion posing the question: "Is it the job of fiction to explore its own form?" Egan pointed out that, throughout the history of the novel, writers such as Miguel de Cervantes and Laurence Sterne have played with form. Yet more than one author on the panel stressed that they did not set out to write something "formally interesting."
Asked whether he thinks the times we live in influence form, Reiken said that though he's obviously a product of our "fragmented but paradoxically connectible" culture, his use of form is not conscious but rather intuitive. His book was partly inspired by the story of 500 Jewish intellectuals killed during the Holocaust after being convinced they were to be hired as archivists. He imagined a scenario in which one or two of the men survived. The origin of Hale's "epic bildungsroman" came as he sat in Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo surrounded by snow, reading and watching the monkeys. Grushin's book, compared by one reviewer to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl because of its magic ticket similarity, tried to answer the question, "What would make you stand in line for a year?"
The question of form, however, cannot be answered simply with a magic ticket. Egan probably summed it up best: Form should allow you to "do what needs to be done in the freest way possible."
— Chris Daley
A priest called 'G'
A roar of applause and cheers echoed through Bovard Auditorium as Times columnist Steve Lopez and Father Gregory Boyle took the stage Sunday. The 1,235-seat venue was nearly full, the audience eagerly waiting the compelling, compassionate and often hilarious stories of Boyle and his experiences assisting gang members.
"For some reason, it just doesn't feel right calling you G-Dog," Lopez joked as he introduced Boyle, who also goes by "G" or "G-Dog" among young members of his community.
A Jesuit priest, Boyle has spent the past 20 years running Homeboy Industries, an operation created to provide at-risk former gang members with counseling, education, tattoo removal and job training and placement in the hopes that they will become contributing members of the community. The idea is to offer a sense of hope and faith to these otherwise hopeless individuals. "If you give hope, the kid will stop planning his funeral and will start planning his future," Boyle explained.
After visiting the site of Homeboy Industries a few days earlier, Lopez shared that he was simply blown away by the multitude and magnitude of tasks Boyle was expected to tackle within an hour, let alone within a day. "I was amazed by how many things this man could do at once. He has done this for decades and does it with such love and energy. He's like a rock star there," said Lopez.
Boyle, author of the bestselling memoir "Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion," attributes this energy to the fact that he is anchored by the delights and genuine joys of his duties. "Everyday it's a privilege. Hilarity and heartache and intractable heartache after intractable heartache — I find the whole thing energizing," Boyle said.

Welcome to the round up for the first Canadian Blogging By Post event. The theme for this round is chocolate. Before CBBP was cooked up, I read in a magazine that chocolate is the new wine! I laughed. Journalists are always making these sorts of comparisons. Ironically, today there is some truth to the statement: at least, the demand for varied and high quality chocolates is present and growing. Artisan chocolate shops seem to be popping up everywhere, offering a range of chocolates in varying cocoa percentages and, even, bean origins. Sophisticated chocolate is now more readily available to the home cook. Also interesting is that three 2006 IACP cookbook awards went to books on chocolate. The popularity of high quality chocolate is growing rapidly.
Canadian bloggers from across the country shared with CBBP some of their favourite chocolate recipes. From desserts that dazzle to baking that comforts, these posts are an enticing collection that prove that good chocolate is here to stay and is not a trend.
Jasmine from Confessions of a Cardamom Addict posts Apple Fritters with Chocolate-Maple Syrup, which not only looks great but also represents Canada by using real Canadian maple syrup! I love that Jasmine's dessert is another entry in her "cooking by proxy series", in which her ex-partner cooks while she instructs.
Elizabeth from Rabbit Hole is not a foodie blogger but rather a scrap blogger. Her site reminds me that there are more than food bloggers out there! Elizabeth posts a delicious and wonderful looking Chocolate Mud Pie! Thanks Elizabeth for participating.
Strawberry from Sourcream Timbits shows us how to make an Indonesian snack called Kue Pukis. Don't let the English phonetics of the name fool you: this snack looks good and the ingredients sound wonderful.
Rob from Hungry in Hogtown yet again shares an adventurous and inspiring recipe from El Bulli—Chocolate with Wasabi. Need I say more? Check out his post.
Tania of The Candied Quince serves things up Toronto-style by making Chocolate Crinkle Cookies from Torontonian Bonnie Stern. Tania notes: "These cookies are typical of Bonnie's recipes. They are easy to make, call for readily-available ingredients, and offer outstanding results."
Vanessa from Tongue and Cheek brings us mouthwatering Chocolate Macaroons with Pistachio Buttercream. Sounds delicious. Thanks Vanessa!
Candy of Desserts by Candy makes a wonderful looking Chocolate Panforte. Candy clearly tackles chocolate decadence head-on: her ingredients are unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, high quality cocoa, hazelnuts and Grand Marnier!
Zoubida of Kitchen Culture prepares Moroccan Nut and Chocolate Squares, which look absolutely stunning. The title of her blog states, "what happens in a Moroccan-French-Canadian woman's kitchen…". It appears wonderful things. Check out her blog.
Christine of Knife Skills brings us Black Bottom Pecan Praline Bars from Alice Medrich's Bittersweet: Recipes and Tales from a Life in Chocolate. Simple and satisfying.
Ivonne from Cream Puffs in Venice makes a wonderful looking Chocolate Pecan Spread. Inspired by Out to Lunch by Donna Dooher and Claire Stubbs of Mildred Pierce, Ivonne does it again.
Raspberry Sour of The Sour Patch makes Mexican Chocolate Ice Box Cookies for both CBBP and Cinco de Mayo. Her recipe comes from veteran Maida Heatter's Book of Great Chocolate Desserts. Mmm…chocolate and spice!
Kelli of avoir une famille n'est pas comme un téléroman explains her love affair with peanut butter. She makes a delightful Surprise Peanut Butter Cookie from Canadian Living.
Linda from Kayak Soup makes a fantastic sounding Mexican Chocolate Pecan Bar, which has been on the menu of Frontera's Grill House restaurant for 13 years. Thanks for sharing Linda.
Jen of The Canadian Baker shows us how to make lovely Caramel-Layered Brownies—a simple and wonderful treat. It took her a long time to decide what to make, and she almost didn't participate. I am certainly glad she did.
Jennifer of The Domestic Goddess, who started the incredibly popular Sugar High Friday, shares another fantastic treat, Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk.
Sam of Sweet Pleasure : Plaisir Sucré, and the host of this event, offers his homemade Caramel Hazelnut Chocolate Bar. Is it as decadent as it looks and sounds? Feel free to give it a try!
I want to thank all the participants of the first Canadian Blogging By Post. I would especially like to thank Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice and Tania of The Candied Quince for their assistance and input in getting this event off the ground. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing and reading everyone's post. All we do now is wait in anticipation for our packages to arrive in the mail. Cheers!

Learning to Live Into Adulthood: Challenges and Opportunities for Perinatally Infected Youth
June 2006
People living with HIV are living much longer now than early in the epidemic, including children who were perinatally infected (in whom HIV was transmitted through the birth process from their mother). In the earlier years, many children who were infected through mother-to-child transmission in the U.S. died from AIDS-related illnesses. Today, however, children with HIV benefit from many of the same medications that are extending the lives of adults. This means that many perinatally infected children have now grown and are in their teens and early twenties. While this is a wonderful blessing for these children and their families, it has also brought challenges for the teens, their families, and for providers.
As we all know, the teen years can be both an exciting and challenging time for young people. It is a time of growth, exploration, and learning through trial and error. Youth are becoming more aware of themselves and their bodies. They are experiencing a growing sense of self and personal power. They are learning how to make decisions, setting and testing their own limits, exploring their sexuality, and coping with peer pressure and shifting identities. All of this can be made even more complicated if a young person is dealing with a chronic illness.
For teens born with HIV, fitting in and feeling "normal" is just as important as it is for most teens. With an HIV diagnosis, the feelings can become even more challenging. Teens with HIV have lived their lives with the stigma that HIV still carries. Issues of disclosure to their peers and potential sexual partners can be very frightening, overwhelming, and isolating. Most guard their HIV status as a secret. While they may desire to be like their peers, having romantic relationships and experimenting with sexual behavior, they carry the burden of knowing that they risk infecting another. Disclosing their HIV status to a potential romantic or sexual partner may mean rejection. While parents and providers may hope that the decision to act responsibly (disclosing to a potential partner, using condoms, etc.) will take effect, is it fair to expect more from them than we do of other teens or adults?
Independence and future planning may also not come easily for teens who are growing up infected with HIV. Because the treatment and survival outlook for people in the earlier years of the epidemic was not very optimistic, many families may not have planned for their HIV+ child's future. Many children were treated as fragile in their early years, and may not have been expected to live. Their parents may have been understandably overprotective of them. They may not have attended school regularly, with the idea that their futures were uncertain or that their health was too fragile for them to be around other children. They may not have had consistent limit-setting or discipline because their parents felt guilty, sorry for them, or that they didn't need to be prepared to be adults. They may have gotten more toys and gifts, received more attention and not received the same discipline as their siblings who were not infected. Such special treatment did not prepare these children for becoming teens and young adults.
Teens with chronic illness are often challenged with adhering to their medication regimen. Taking medications on a regular schedule may not fit well with active, teen lifestyles. The need to adhere to a strict medication regimen may feel like a disruption. Teens may be put to the test negotiating how to spend the night at a friend's house and still take their medications without being "found out." If not successful they may end up skipping doses. The inconsistent adherence can result in the development of drug resistance and an increase in viral load. When these issues are discussed with teens, they tell us they are trying to balance the importance of taking the medication and being with their peers. Moreover, understanding the importance of medication adherence may be difficult for youth who may question why they need medications now when they are healthy and may have never been seriously ill, and when medication side effects make them feel sick.
Regardless of what they hear from their families and healthcare providers about HIV being a chronic illness that can be controlled by medication, teens with HIV may still feel that their futures are uncertain. This uncertainty can cause ambivalence about planning for the future. They may not have focused on getting good grades and preparing for employment. As they enter adulthood, they are faced with learning how to live independently.
In the midst of all of these obstacles, perinatally infected youth are growing into young adults and learning each day to live more responsibly and cope with HIV as a chronic disease. Coping means dealing with all of the feelings that come with having a chronic illness including sadness, disappointment, worry, fear, vulnerability, confusion and anger. It also includes learning about the disease, its treatment, and prevention of transmission. And it includes acceptance, or coming to terms with living with HIV. Any of these stages of coping can come and go as youth pass through the different stages of life. For youth who are perinatally infected and coming of age, it's important to begin taking control of their lives. This means playing an active and informed role in their health care and treatment. Becoming educated about the disease and its particular impact upon themselves and their bodies can be empowering. Living positively can be made easier through the support of other HIV+ youth, sharing the challenges and encouraging each other's positive growth and development. And it means keeping things in perspective. As more medicines are being developed, there are more options for health and well-being for people living with HIV. It is important for perinatally infected youth to recognize and embrace the future to which they are entitled, a future of possibility and opportunity, as they draw upon the strength and resiliency that they have acquired through their lives.

Today we enjoyed our last day of summer. Ben and I have had an eventful summer with the whole getting married thing and all. Although, Ben had to work most of the time we did manage a few memorable moments.
We have spent our summer watching lots of movies from Netflix, driving to the North side, staying up late, sleeping in, walking around downtown, and watching free shows. We also went to the Renaissance fair. I love the Renaissance Fair and I try to go every year. We drove to Wisconsin, and I got to experience a midwest Renaissance fair. It's different than Arizona. People out in the midwest seem to consider the RF as a way of living more so than an entertaining few hours. Ben and I had a lot of fun during the first part. We walked around, took some pictures, and picked out the different food we wanted to eat. We had both decided to start out with giant turkey legs. Ben was in charge of eating and watching the food while I went to get us mushrooms. This was obviously my first mistake, I should have never left my poor lovable but easily distracted husband alone. I'm standing in line when all of a sudden a screaming flailing Ben comes running up to me with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. He had taken a bite of his turkey while people watching and a suicidal bee flew into his mouth and stung the roof of his mouth. I tried to pull the stinger out but was unsuccessful. At that moment, I found out that he left all of our possessions, including my camera, on the bench where we were sitting, I ran towards the bench and he ran towards first aid. I waited outside of the first aid area for him. Soon enough, a sad Ben came out with a cup of ice to soothe is wound. We tried to make the most out of the rest of the day. Ben was a good sport and tried to hide any pain he was feeling. It wasn't until we were watching some ridiculous performance that I noticed something wrong. Ben had gigantic hives all over his body. We decided that it was time to leave and walked out in the middle of the show which led to negative comments and gestures directed at us by the performers.
Another new and exciting event which makes all of these posts possible. . . my new computer! I am proud to say that I am a Mac. I used to have a PC but it didn't work out. Being with my PC was like being in one of those relationships where you decide that you will stick with it because it's familiar and safe, all the while you are wishing that you could just break up with it. You know that you should really just dump it because it's just not working out; you're not being treated the way you want to be. Then one day after all that you have given it, it breaks up with you in a devastating manner. In case I took the relationship/computer metaphor too far: I always had problems with my computer, but I learned to accept those problems as part of who my computer was. Unfortunately, my computer decided never to turn on again even after its surgical procedure. As I said, to my husband's dismay, I am a Mac, and I am happy.
Tomorrow is my last first day of undergraduate, and Ben's first day ever at the wonderful University of Chicago. Are we prepared? I doubt it. I assure you, it is not for lack of trying. We have spent this last week doing a dry run of our carefully crafted schedule to ensure that madness does not ensue within the first few weeks of the quarter. This is with the full realization that no amount of preemptive scheduling procedures can fully defend us from the chaos that is 9, 10, and 11 week. Fortunately, we bought a good amount of our books during Midnight Madness allowing us to beat the long lines and crowds. We also enlisted Google Calendar as an ally in hopes of decreasing overall confusion. We are both excited about classes and our future together.
I almost forgot to mention that on August 12, 2008 we celebrated our 1 month anniversary! We were very excited and celebrated with breakfast downtown at the Bongo Room. Breakfast was the only time we could actually go out together because of Ben's crazy work schedule. He left each day around 1pm and got home between 11pm and 12am every night. It really messed with our sleeping pattern and social life, but we really were thankful that he had a job. We also celebrated our two month anniversary this summer. We didn't really do anything special for the two month anniversary. We acknowledged the day by giving each other cards, but that was pretty much it. I do have to say that I enjoy being married two months more than one. Two months seems more legitimate than one. When you tell people that you have been married one month they give a look that says "oh, no wonder you're happy; wait another month and then we'll see." When you say that you have been married two months, people give you almost the same look, but I still feel a little more satisfied. I suppose people won't stop giving us those looks until we are two years or more into our marriage. Anyway, we will celebrate our three month anniversary soon, which I will assume will grant even more satisfaction and self accomplishment than two months. Maybe it is weird that I get so much excitement from each passing month. I am always amazed at how we grow closer and closer together in ways I could have never imagined. There is something liberating about being uninhibited in your ability to love another person so completely and without fear of possible future scorn. Being so close to Ben brings out strength in myself that I never knew existed. Of course, this means that I am also finding weaknesses that I never knew existed. Being married is like learning a new school of thought; you just never thought of things in the same light or perspective as you do now. I saw a movie where the husband cheated on his wife and I was almost in tears. I have seen this sort of behavior portrayed in movies before, I even know people who have committed adultery. But for some reason it never really had an effect on me until now. It was just something people did for some unknown reason that was wrong. I suppose my preconceived notions of marriage and adultery were formed in an emotionless vacuum where I was unable to comprehend the complete and utter emotional vulnerability that one succumbs to within the institution of marriage. I don't claim to be wise to all the ins and outs of marriage, I am just realizing the monumental change that an institution like marriage can have on your way of thinking and who you are. Ben and I have grown so much as a couple and as individuals. I really enjoy seeing how much our relationship grows month from month, I can't wait until I can compare year to year.

Recently, I set out to make another batch of dark simple syrup. My go-to sugar for this is normally Demerara raw cane sugar, but my local Whole Foods was out. I did, though, find both dark and light Muscovado. Both varieties are similar to brown sugar, but instead of adding molasses to refined white sugar, as in the case of brown sugar, processors of Muscovado boil down cane-sugar juice to make the sugar.
I considered both but chose the dark. I knew from just looking at it in the package that it might be moister than most sugars, but I wasn't sure how that would play out in the saucepan. So I took a chance on it.
When I got it home, I set to it with scissors and was surprised to find that it was even moister than I expected. I sampled a bit out of the bag. The mouth feel was supple and the molasses flavor, rich, sweet, and rounded. Imagine a simple Domino dark-brown sugar. The Muscovado was similar, but richer, deeper, and more complex.
It melted easily into simmering water, so I waited for it to cool and then I bottled it. The texture of the syrup was thick and smooth, and the flavor, very rich. I think it's accurate to say this is a molasses syrup–more pourable than molasses, but thicker even than Demerara syrup.
I've worked with it for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not sure I'm satisfied with it. Because of its thickness, it doesn't mix well and I have to finesse it. If I simply put it in a glass or shaker with spirits, other ingredients, and ice, and then stir or shake, the ice chills the syrup and makes it too think to mix. The solution (ahem) is to put the syrup in first, slowly pour in an amount of spirit (an ounce or two), and then stir–without ice!!–until the syrup dissolves into the spirit. Then I can add my remaining ingredients and then shake or stir.
To my palate, the Muscovado syrup seems a little strong for most ingredients. It works best with a punchy whiskey, like a bonded rye, so I've been saving it primarily for Old Fashioneds and other whiskey cocktails. It occurs to me, though, that I haven't played with it in a daiquiri. With the right rum, that might be worth trying.

looks great
Unreal: The Chosen One contains many new features and options. Basically, it is an FPS, RPG elements are included (with a major influence to the gameplay), but still it's FPS. Experience points are given mostly for completing quests (primary & secondary), their amount depends on the importance of the quest completed. Also, experience is increased for eliminating enemies. This also depends on the adversary's rank - the amount of experience points granted for the kills is very small in comparison to quest awards - it helps, when the player needs little experience to gain a level. Another major feature is spell casting. Not the idea itself, which already made an appearance in Nali Chronicles, but the spells themselves and the effects caused by using them (e.g. close-up spell, replacing the sniper scope, works with other weapons also). The story will be presented by numerous engine-powered cutscenes, and of course the immortal LOGs scattered all over the game world.

It's rare for a talky, character-driven drama to be given one sequel, let alone two. Yet with "Before Midnight" — Richard Linklater's reprisal of characters he first made famous 18 years ago in "Before Sunrise" — the director has done just that.
The film, which opens May 24, returns us to the lovelorn Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy). This time, the pair — he darkly comic, she earnest and idealistic — aren't meeting by chance but are vacationing on a Greek island, having gotten together nearly a decade ago. Now in their 40s and a little wiser for it, they're living together in Paris and raising twin daughters — a turn that resolves the question about their collective fate posed at the end of the second film, "Before Sunset," all the way back in 2004.
"It's a rare opportunity in the sequel industry to have a movie with such a long gestation period," Linklater said by phone. "Most sequels are instantaneous, victory-lap kind of films. They don't have the luxury of not being in a hurry."
Still, "Midnight" is conscious of what came before and slyly pushes off it. With that in mind, here's a Linklater-supplemented guide to the common areas and how the new film does — and doesn't — offer callbacks to its predecessors.
Location: "Sunrise" took place on the streets of Vienna; "Sunset" in Paris. The backdrop shifts dramatically here — it's a beautiful natural landscape far removed from the previous urban bustle. "I thought it made sense to set this outside the city," Linklater said. "There's something paradisiacal about where they are, which makes it much more interesting when problems start later."
Transportation: Jesse and Celine first met on a train, with all its people and possibilities. "Midnight," on the other hand, opens with a nearly 15-minute take in a car, and all its intimacy and claustrophobia. "I wanted to show that their world has closed a bit, and they're stuck with each other," Linklater said. "But that's OK. A train signifies adventure. But the confinement of a car can be good for a relationship — it forces you to talk."
The youngsters: In "Sunrise," Jesse and Celine were practically kids themselves. In "Sunset" Jesse had a son, never shown. Here? There are three kids, all seen on-screen. It's a reflection, of sorts, of the lives of Linklater, Hawke and Delpy, who went from one child among them in 1995 (Linklater's) to eight.
The title: The "Before" is kept, but for this go-round it's the numbers on a clock, not a solar state, that follows. "Time is a big element in these movies and in how these characters relate to their lives, so I wanted to include that in the title." Of course, doesn't that leave six more hours to cover? "Maybe there's one more movie to complete a 24-hour cycle," Linklater agreed with a laugh.

Sometimes, life can be like a perfect dish – just the right ingredients, combined in just the right way, at just the right time. These are moments and experiences that seem like gustatory masterpieces, lovingly prepared by a brilliant master chef. These are the stuff dreams are made of…the stuff we spend time and effort and planning and countless star-wishing to achieve. And when we do finally achieve these pockets of perfection it is amazing.
Most of the time though, I think life is like leftovers. You do the best you can with what's been dealt. That is not to say that most of the time we are just settling on what is lying around in the back of the fridge. Not at all! I think it's more a process of taking what life puts in our path and, after assessing the situation, taking steps to make it not just bearable, but beautiful — perhaps chopping it up into a tasty fried rice, or adding a dash of pimeton de la vera and caramelized onions, or even warming it with some cream and those dried herbs you brought back from France and covering it gently with puff pastry. Sometimes, like life, these dishes don't always turn out the way you'd like. But sometimes, they turn out so much better than their parts…an edible example of how you can take things (food, situations, people, dreams) seemingly past their prime with nothing left to give, add a little something (heat, love, a new flavor, puff pastry) and have them emerge as if a goddess from the sea…gorgeous, delicious, renewed, surprising and captivating us all. Culinary reincarnation.
This is all part of my continuing mission to avoid food waste…sharing my "leftovers–turned–meals" and pushing myself to make the absolute best out of what is left behind!
I realize though, at least among my immediate sphere of existence, that part of our leftovers are those doggie-bags we take away from restaurants. Unless the contents are an absolute favorite, they most likely end up tossed after a couple of days in fridge-limbo. So on the road of culinary reincarnation, let's not forget these stragglers.
Peking Duck Stock
- The bones (the whole carcass including head) of 1 Peking Duck
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut in half or thirds
- 4 small red onions, peeled and cut in half
- 3 stalks of lemongrass, white part only, bashed
- 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and bashed
- 2 star anise
- A few sprigs of parsley (I used curly and flat as that's what I had)
- A few stalks spring onions (I used about 3)
- Whole black peppercorns (I used the whole sprig you see in the photo) + roughly the same amount Sichuan peppercorns
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
– Place everything in a stockpot and cover with water. The water should reach about an inch over the duck.
– Bring to a boil and skim off any scum that appears. Reduce to a simmer and cover pot. Let the stock simmer gently for 2-3 hours.
– Uncover pot and simmer for about 30 minutes more to reduce stock. Taste and either adjust seasoning or reduce further to deepen flavor.
– Portion as you prefer and let cool. Use immediately or store in the fridge if you'll be using it in a couple of days…if not, freeze for future enjoyment!
Do you doggie bag the carcass of your Peking Duck? You should! It is better off going home with you and making you this delicious stock than staying at the restaurant and perhaps getting tossed out in the dump (poor thing). Besides, you did pay for it! This stock is a perfect case of creating magic from what would appear to be beyond salvage. Aside from the flavor of the duck itself, you are getting all the wonderful aromas of the spices and sauces that go into making Peking Duck! The other aromatics I used were also things in the fridge that needed using up (so feel free to be flexible with them). This makes for a deeply savory stock that you can use in so many ways. I decided to keep it simple and use it as a base for a wonton soup. With some bok choy, chopped spring onions, and cilantro, this was an intensely satisfying dinner (especially since I was feeling sniffly when I had it).
When we have taken those seemingly odd bits life throws in our path, and with a little cleverness and some courageousness, transformed and wrenched success from them – well, I believe these are the stuff greatness is truly made of. If you don't believe me, just check the history books (and don't waste those Peking Duck bones!) 😉

It is safe to say that most baby boomers and empty nesters assume that downsizing their homes will also reduce their cost of living and pad their retirement savings. After all, the name implies a drop; but experts warn this might not be true.
Continue Reading Below
For many boomers, their home is the single, most valuable consistent asset they have to enter their golden years with. However, a recent report personal finance website GoBankingRates explains that often times "downsizing" can cost a homeowner even more money than staying in a home they own.
"Saving money in retirement or after adult children have left the family home is definitely possible, but downsizing in the traditional sense may not always be the answer," said Go Banking Rates.com managing editor, Casey Bond, in a press release. "Empty nesters and retirees who want to cut their cost of living should consider alternatives as well, like renting."
To get some insight as to the pros and cons of baby boomers downsizing, I spoke with Bond and asked her the following questions:
Boomer: What costs should baby boomers take into consideration before making the decision to sell their home?
Bond: There are quite a few expenses to keep in mind before making the decision to downsize. The most important would be the potential loss a homeowner could take by selling his or her current home. If the local housing market was hit hard by the mortgage crisis, a boomer's home could be worth significantly less today than when originally purchased.
Additional major expenses include realtor fees and commissions associated with selling a house and buying a new one, as well as mortgage loan closing costs in the case of refinancing a mortgage. Other, smaller costs that can add up are moving expenses, new condo or HOA fees, and a possible heightened cost of living, depending on where the retiree moves.
Boomer: Is there an advantage for boomers who have no mortgage, to sell their home and move in with a family member for their retirement years?
Bond: Obviously this would be a very cost-effective option, resulting in a large, lump sum to be added toward retirement savings. However, it's important for boomers to consider their preferred lifestyles before making the move. They may find that the savings found by moving in with adult children aren't worth giving up much of their privacy, space for entertaining, or a home to leave for their children or grandchildren.
Boomer: How would downsizing your home aid in saving money for retirement?
Bond: One of the biggest savings boomers could realize by downsizing is reducing the cost of their mortgage. A smaller-sized home is usually a less expensive home, so homeowners may be able to buy property outright with the proceeds of their home sale, eliminating mortgage payments completely, or at the very least, reducing them significantly.
Additionally, less square footage often means utilities like heating and electricity are much less expensive. Fewer rooms and a smaller yard allow boomers who have downsized to eliminate hired help to assist with upkeep. Finally, some retirees move to neighborhoods with better walkability allowing them to drive less and save on gas and car maintenance.
Boomer: What advantages are there for boomers that decide to rent after they have sold their primary home?
Bond: Renting can be a viable option for boomers who are far behind in their retirement savings goals, see an investment opportunity that require a large investment, or simply wish to eliminate the cost and stress of things like taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance on a home. Additionally, renting allows retirees more freedom, as they're not tied to a home by mortgage debt, and can be less isolating than living in a large home alone.

text: WASDE: Lower Yields Reduce Soybean Supply Estimates September 12, 2012 02:42 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email OILSEEDS: U.S. oilseed production for 2012/13 is projected at 82 million tons, down 1.4 million from last month. Lower soybean and cottonseed production is only partly offset by an increase for peanuts. Soybean supplies for 2012/13 are reduced due to lower forecast production and beginning stocks. Soybean production is projected at 2.634 billion bushels, down 58 million due to lower yields in the Midwest. Soybean exports are reduced 55 million bushels to 1.055 billion mainly due to reduced supplies. Soybean crush is reduced 15 million bushels to 1.5 billion, the lowest since 1996/97. The reduction reflects lower projected soybean meal exports and domestic soybean meal consumption. Although soybean ending stocks are projected unchanged at 115 million bushels, they would fall to a 9-year low. Other changes for 2012/13 include reduced soybean oil production and ending stocks. Soybean crush for 2011/12 is increased 15 million bushels to 1.705 billion reflecting higher-thanexpected crush reported for July. Soybean exports are increased 10 million to 1.36 billion. Residual use is lowered 10 million bushels reflecting the impact of early harvest of the 2012/13 crop in the South. Ending stocks are projected at 130 million bushels, down 15 million from last month. Other changes for 2011/12 include increased soybean oil production, exports, and ending stocks and increased domestic disappearance of soybean meal. The U.S. season-average soybean price for 2012/13 is projected unchanged at $15.00 to $17.00 per bushel. Soybean meal prices are projected at $485 to $515 per short ton, up $25.00 on both ends of the range. Soybean oil prices are projected at 54 to 58 cents per pound, up 1 cent on both ends of the range. Global oilseed production for 2012/13 is projected at 453.1 million tons, down 4.2 million from last month. Reductions for soybeans, sunflowerseed, and rapeseed are only partly offset by increased peanut and cottonseed production. In addition to the United States, projected soybean production is reduced for Ukraine and Canada. Early harvest results for Ukraine indicate a lower yield in part reflecting unusually hot temperatures during the growing season. Lower soybean production for Canada is based on the most recent crop survey results reported by Statistics Canada. Rapeseed production for Canada is reduced 0.9 million tons to 15.4 million based on lower yields and harvested area reported by Statistics Canada. At this level the crop is record large. Rapeseed production is also raised for the 2011 crop based on the latest Statistics Canada estimates. Other changes include higher rapeseed production for EU-27, lower sunflowerseed production for Russia, Ukraine, and EU-27, and lower cottonseed production for Brazil. .....................

Thank you all very much, Mr. Linder, Mr. Wilhelm -- Mr. Williams, Jerry Friedheim, Loren Ghiglione, who came down with us, and Jerome Ryans; of course, the Governor of this great State, and Reverend Mowery, distinguished Members of Congress, volunteers, ladies and gentlemen, and all you damp pre-Thanksgiving marvelous people. I didn't think anybody would be out here today.
You know, back before the Civil War, just after William Henry Harrison was elected President, Mr. Linder's newspaper was named the Appeal. And the founder renamed it, and he said, as an ``appeal to the sober second thoughts of the people, to elect a Democratic president at the next election.'' Well, with a history like that, you can imagine how lucky I feel to be here today. [Laughter] But I do really feel fortunate to be here, to talk about something that is so vital to our nation and to our future.
Last June -- Mr. Linder referred to -- I gave a speech about something called the Points of Light Initiative. And its goal is to make community service central to the life and work of every individual and every institution in America. And I asked people and groups across the country to think about the special contribution they could make to help others around them in need.
For the news media, I made a special request because no other institution in America has the unique ability of the media to shape public attitudes, to heighten awareness, to mobilize people for action. And I asked members of the media to remind Americans that illiteracy, drug abuse, homelessness, hunger, and other social problems do have solutions. And soon after I announced the Points of Light Initiative, the Commercial Appeal in Memphis responded. Along with reporting and commenting on problems -- which is every paper's right and obligation and responsibility in a free society -- they took on an added responsibility. And they began pointing to solutions. And they started doing profiles of 1,000 individuals and institutional Points of Light last summer, at a time when a lot of people were still trying to figure out what I meant by a Thousand Points of Light. Well, you understood, all of you. And you've brought that idea to life, dramatically.
Tomorrow is our special day. It's a day unique to America, a day when we pause and gather together and give thanks. And it is my hope that by this time next year, a growing community service movement will mean that many Americans will have more to be thankful for. Today, I'd like to challenge every publisher, every broadcaster, every member of the American news media, to follow the lead of the Commercial Appeal. And many have begun to do so. All three of the major networks have started regular features on volunteers in America, and local papers and stations have become involved. And many more can.
For the millions across our great country who want to help others in need but wonder how, this newspaper and this community are showing that there are at least a thousand ways to lead others out of the darkness.
I think of Fred Daniels, a retired salesman, starting what I hear may be the world's best catfish cooking team, formed to raise funds -- there's Fred, right there -- formed to raise funds for charity. Look, he and his friends travel all over towing an 8,000-pound cooker to company picnics, donating the proceeds to causes like United Cerebral Palsy.
Or Kim McLaughlin, 18 years old, who volunteered for the Tennessee Outreach Program. And she's been working in the hills rebuilding houses, painting, laying down floors. And she says this: ``I like seeing the smiles on people's faces after we're done. When we're finished, they cried.''
I understand that Don Stone, a bank president, decided that the best way to convince students to stay in school was to work with them, to talk with them, one at a time -- one on one. And not long ago, Don saw one of those kids across the street. And he says, ``I just walked over to him, walked over to hug him. He's been drug free for about 2 weeks.'' And he says, ``We do a lot of hugging here.''
Maybe you read about Pauline Hord, 82 years old. I hope she'll forgive me for revealing that. And somebody at the Mississippi Penitentiary at Parchman had been talking about a prisoner there, saying he couldn't read a Bible if he'd had one. And so that's where she stepped forward. She goes about 100 miles each way to the prison, every Wednesday, to teach inmates how to read. She's taught nearly 140 of them, and now she's training them to teach others. And here's what she says, ``I'm a teacher of teachers,'' she says.
Lillie Belle Witcher -- she's only 79 -- and she works hard for nearly half a dozen causes. And she says, ``If a day goes by and I haven't done something for somebody, it just seems like a wasted day.''
Forget fortune, fame, and glory, and glittering prizes. The people I've been describing to you -- they are great American success stories. And they're powerful reminders that everyone can do something for somebody else.
Mary Taylor spent 16 years on welfare. And she said, ``I used it, and it used me.'' Now she's a community activist who helps the poor get back on their feet. And she says, ``We all have a place to be part of the system, no matter what level we are on.''
From disk jockeys to truck drivers to CEO's to children to the retired, service to others should be a central part of American life. And it's never been more needed than it is now. It ought to be talked about in the boardrooms and the bowling alleys and the factories and the rotaries and the fraternities, sororities, farms, families, cities, union halls, suburbs, and shopping malls -- everywhere in America. Everyone has a gift to give. And every one of us has a special talent that can help solve America's problems. And every institution in America can make the kind of commitment that you've made here.
At the White House we know a good idea when we see one, so we're going to announce and honor individuals and groups across the country who are making a difference -- working to improve the lives of others -- giving more Americans reasons to give thanks. These daily Points of Light won't be singled out because they themselves are the best. We honor them because they show what's the best in all of us. And they show that from now on in America any definition of a successful life must include serving others. To honor their spirit and commitment is to honor yours and those like you. We will single out a few, because they represent the many. And we hope that by highlighting their achievements, and the ways they've found to serve, we can inspire others to serve.
So, let me close by announcing the very first White House daily Point of Light. It's an organization that put the spotlight on citizens who have made community service a part of their definition of success and encouraged other people to do the same, proving that the volunteer spirit is alive and well in the Volunteer State. That organization is the reason we're all here today, braving the elements to salute them. They are the leadership and staff of the Commercial Appeal. And I am proud to honor them in this way.
Just imagine an America where service to others is a fact of life, part of everyone's everyday thinking. Imagine the impact if every single newspaper and magazine and television and radio station and cable system found and recognized a Thousand Points of Light. Imagine if every institution, from the airlines to dry cleaners to high schools to neighborhood softball teams, were to join us in regularly honoring as heroes those who are engaged in the war against drug abuse or illiteracy, AIDS, homelessness, hunger, and the other problems. We are nearing the dawn of a new decade. And so, let it be a decade with no dark corners, no forgotten people, no forgotten places.
And so, if you've got a hammer, find a nail. If you can read, find someone who can't. If you're well, do it like the volunteers I just saw at St. Jude's. Help someone who isn't well. If you're not in trouble, seek out someone who is. Because everywhere there is a need in America, there is a way to fill it. And everywhere there is a dream in America, there's a way to make it come true.
Isn't it fitting that on this chilly and wet eve before Thanksgiving, we pay tribute to those Americans who help their fellow Americans. God bless you all. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you haven't gotten pneumonia, and God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much. Thank you all.
Note: The President spoke at 12:14 p.m. on the front lawn of the Commercial Appeal. In his remarks, he referred to Lionel Linder and Joseph Williams, editor and general manager of the Commercial Appeal, respectively; Loren Ghiglione, editor of the News in Southbridge, MA; and Rev. Donald Mowery, director of Youth Service U.S.A.

Commonly misunderstood/misapplied terms, part 11.
Article 100 defines six kinds of switches, but it doesn't define the word "switch." Several major dictionaries define a switch as a device that opens or closes a circuit, or changes the connections from one circuit to another. That makes a circuit breaker a special kind of switch.
Here's a list of six different types of switches:
- General use. It's for distribution and branch circuits, except where you need a special switch.
- General use snap. The "snap" part means you can install it in device boxes or covers.
- Motor circuit. It's rated in horsepower; you use it with a motor of the same rating.
- Isolating. It isolates a circuit from the power source but not by interrupting the power. It has no interrupt rating. You first open the circuit (via breakers, for example) and then open the isolating switch. Lock it out, and the circuit can't be accidentally energized.
- Transfer. It "moves" the load conductors from one supply to another supply. It may be automatic or manual. If you have sources A and B, the switch allows you to connect to B and disconnect from A, or vice-versa.
- Bypass isolation. Manually operated, it allows you to cut the transfer switch out of the circuit and connect the load to the source.

A lot of work went into this one, I don't think I'll be sewing too many more. The whole thing is fully lined, it's nice, but not necessary I don't think. Next time I think I'll try it without the lining. The suit is extra thick and will be warmer, but I don't think it's really necessary from the outside (it looks good from the inside though!) as he will be wearing a singlet underneath and no doubt, be swaddled up in a blanket if we are out and about.
And there was HEAPS of binding to attach, I don't mind it too much but it was pretty time consuming to get it all cut and sewed on. I love the contrasting trim it gives though.
The fabrics are both from Crafty Mamas - tractors are a European knit, the grey is a plain Stella.
And look - this time I got the placket centered properly!
