Well, "queen" might be inappropriate. Priscilla was actually a boy, and only so-named because her enormous ribs reminded the diver who discovered her of his childhood pet pig, Priscilla.
(You can't make this stuff up.)
Priscilla, the 12-foot-tall mastodon cast who will be joining more than 60 other new mounts in our new paleontology hall this summer, was discovered in 1968 by diver, occasional T.V. repairman and recreational paleontologist Don Serbousek. Called "Priscilla of Aucilla" for his resting place in North Florida's Aucilla River, Priscilla is among the largest mastodons yet discovered in North America.
Says Associate Curator of Paleontology David Temple:
"The girth of this animal brought back a childhood memory, and a good childhood memory. [Serbousek] grew up on a farm, and they had a litter of piglets. There were one too many piglets, and he loved this piglet so much he wanted to keep it as a pet, and so he saved the piglet and named it Priscilla.
"From there the piglet turned from being a runt until finally it became a huge sow – one of the biggest ones they'd ever had. And so the wide girth of the mastodon reminded [Serbousek] of his beloved pet pig, Priscilla. That's how this animal got its gender-confused name."
Although the cause of Priscilla's death can only be speculated — it's been suggested that human hunters may have driven him into a sinkhole — Priscilla was near the end of his natural life, as evidenced by arthritis in his backbone and the fact that his jaw contained its final set of teeth.
Priscilla roamed the earth some 13,000 years ago, and was preserved nearly completely 22 feet underwater in an isolated stretch of the Aucilla River called "Little River"— just outside Tallahassee. After three years of weekend excavation trips lead by Serbousek and his cohorts, Priscilla was finally freed from the riverbed. Eventually, museum-grade reproductions were cast of his bones, the clones of which have been displayed across the U.S.
Priscilla's original bones reside at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Fla., but you can enjoy the massive, majestic mastodon right here in Houston at HMNS.

Stress, emotional overwhelm, and pain are nearly unavailable and uninvited guests in our daily lives; however, they are part of the human condition. Stress and pain may have you feeling irritable, tense, depressed, and anxious, which impacts your entire life. The KEY to regaining balance is responding to these stressors with mindful, non-judgmental awareness. Impossible? Research has shown that mindfulness-based approaches to healing body and mind are highly effective and can even change our brain.
When: Mondays, 10:00-11:20am
Mindfulness meditation has proven to help individuals reduce stress, pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, cravings, and increase overall quality of life and well-being. The Center for Mindfulness describes the practice as "a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life, a way of taking charge of your life, a way of doing something for yourself that no one else can do for you — consciously and systematically working with your own stress, pain, illness, and the challenges and demands of everyday life."
This Mindfulness-Based Group Therapy will guide you to well-being utilizing psychoeducation, mindfulness meditation, yoga, and group discussion. During the week, group members are highly encouraged to enhance their experience by implementing a consistent practice of mindfulness.

ICLEI World Congress 2012 Program
The World Congress 2012 program was shaped by and reflected the activities of our Members and our partners around the world.
Closely linked to the Rio+20 Conference, participants learned from inspirational speakers and city cases about cutting-edge integrated solutions to the challenges we face, and had the opportunity to present their own stories and experiences.
Click on the links to the right to download the program structure and detailed program overview.
The World Congress...
Connected Leaders
The Congress was the place to be to connect with Mayors, Governors, Ministers and other elected officials from cities around the world. Our special Mayors day on Sun 17 June included:
- World Mayors Council on Climate Change assembly: The Council discussed the future role and mandate of local government political contributions to the sustainability debate.
- Mayoral lunch hosted by the Mayor of Belo Horizonte: An opportunity to network with all attending Mayors.
- Mayors' strategy session on local governance for sustainable development: An open plenary panel session to discuss how Mayors can build on previous and current successes to lead the way in reversing global environmental trends.
Acted as a gateway to Solutions
The Congress program exposed delegates to a wide variety of solutions to the local sustainability challenges they face.
- Integrated Solutions: How do we create Smart, Innovative and Inclusive Cities using the latest thinking and technologies? In these sessions, state of the art, holistic and innovative solutions to urban challenges were presented by technical providers, businesses and local government representatives. A panel of experts reviewed and discussed the potential and implementation of these solutions.
- Achieving our Visions parallel sessions: From cities with integrated climate resilience strategies, to those leading the way in developing strategies for ensuring food security, to debates over the Green Urban Economy, these parallel sessions informed, inspired and provided an opportunity for our Members and partners to showcase their work.
Accelerated action
By bringing together local governments with researchers, experts and international organizations, the World Congress created spaces for new agendas of action to be developed:
- Working together in common groups, Sun 17 June. These sessions brought together ICLEI Members and partners in communities of common interest to work on specific issues and form new ICLEI communities for common action. Groups included Eco-Cities, City food systems and Knowledge cities.
- Message to Rio: Local governments and their partners in youth and business delivered a strong message from the World Congress to Rio: demonstrating the action being taken and demanding more than words from the national leaders.

November 6, 1936 – September 11, 2011
Fred passed away peacefully last Sunday, September 11, 2011 due to a complexity of medical issues. He was born November 6, 1936 in Long Beach, CA as the only child of Fred N. Howser and Helen Howser. He grew up in Long Beach and Arcadia and attended Webb High School. He graduated from USC Law School and began a 30+ year career as an attorney in Newport Beach at Howser, Gertner & Brown. He was loved by many people given his open arms and willingness to help anyone at anytime. Whether you knew him as "Fred", "Fritz", "Uncle Fish", "Papa Fred", "Counselor", "El Jefe", "Mother Howser" or "Dad", he loved you and you loved him. Fred was a forefather of "making plans" to get his long time USC friends together by organizing an annual Mexico Fishing Trip that went on for over 50 years. He loved his children and organized the famous "Father-Son Fishing Trips" to Big Bear for many years that eventually evolved into the "Father-Son & Daughters Fishing Trip" and days at the "Horse Races". He was still organizing Hunting Trips to Canada and Mexico this year to get people together to enjoy each others' company. He was an avid cook as many of his friends knew often putting on a meal for many that could not be matched. Whether it was a "Duck Dinner", "Lobster Thermadore" or the "Big Thick One", no one went hungry. He was known in every grocery store in town due to his almost daily trips in preparation of the next big meal production of not one meat but two or even three choices so that everyone had something they liked to eat. You couldn't miss Fred sitting in his front yard getting a tan, garage door up giving a friendly wave or available with an open ear if you needed it. Fred loved being on the Ocean as well whether he was cranking on an albacore or just enjoying Cherry Cove at Catalina. He was a great Dad to his three children – Donelle, Fritz and Peter, and will be dearly missed by them. Growing up, he would make breakfast for them on a daily basis and have their lunches ready for school. He was very supportive of all his children by going to football games, track meets, horse shows, polo matches, and he continued this tradition with all of his grandchildren. Fred always made you feel truly welcome in the sincerest way. He is survived by his family that includes – Dr. Donelle Laughlin Family (Husband Peter, Grandson Wyatt and Granddaughters Dalan & Keely), Fritz Howser Family (Wife Patsy, Grandson Fritz & Granddaughter Peri), Peter Howser Family (Wife Sienna, Grandson Henry & Granddaughters Scarlet & Coco), Michelle Somers Family (Husband John, Grandnephew Jack and Grandniece Annie), Cousins Sally & Kenny Stead.
At Fred's request, the family is having a "family only" celebration in the near future. He appreciates all the support and friendships he enjoyed throughout his life.
In memory of Fred A. Howser, donations are being accepted by both of the following charities:
6306 W. Coast Hwy.
Newport Beach, CA 92663
P.O. Box 1779
Newport Beach, CA 92659-0139
The family wishes to thank everyone for all the kind words, offerings of great support and consideration during these difficult times.

On the afternoon Padme Amidala was about to be wed, she sat at her vanity table, playing with her wedding veil. She carefully, adjusted her long curly locks of hair, neatly around the delicate, white, lacy garment. Finally, after trial and error, she was satisfied with the way she looked. She looked in the mirror and smiled at herself. A young, nervous bride to be smiled back. On this dia she would marry her one true love, Anakin Skywalker. She was a Senator and he was a Jedi, an unlikely pair. But amor knew no boundaries and she couldn't help the way she felt about Anakin. He had pursued...

I'm good at fixing things. Always was.

Dark, curly hair. Dreamy eyes.

P: We used to come here for school retreat.
We would swim to that island every day.
I amor the water.
We used to lie out on the sand
and let the sundry us…
and try to guess the names of the bird singing.
A: I don't like sand.
It's coarse and rough and irritating…
and it gets everywhere.
Padmé walked back into her apartment she had been sitting outside on her private veranda for the past hour, reflecting on all the events that had unfolded in the last few days.
She knew that her future with Anakin was going to be difficult but she had faith that their strong amor would get them through anything.
As she was getting nearer to the sitting room she took off her black renda, rendas, laço xaile that she had draped around her shoulders and folded it in her arms.
Padmé was extremely grateful that she and her husband were finally together again.
They had been apart for five long months because of Anakin's involvement in the Outer Rim Sieges.
She was also extremely relived about how he had taken the news that she was pregnant.
For Padmé had been terrified waiting in the shadows of the Senate Office Building's giant pillar columns wondering how he would take this shocking, unprepared news.
Luckily for her Anakin had not only understood he had been ecstatic.

Hyperloop Dreams: JumpStarter Thinks It Can, It Thinks It Can
Aug 30, 2013 2:26 PM PT
JumpStarter aims to use its new JumpStartFund platform to help Elon Musk's Hyperloop project draw the attention and investments it needs to get off the ground.
Musk's design for a high-speed transportation system that could transport people between San Francisco and Los Angeles in a little more than half an hour has drawn interest from the science and tech communities. However, given his SpaceX and Tesla commitments, Musk doesn't have the time to take his design from idea to reality.
That's where JumpStartFund comes in. The platform could become a hub for those interested in refining the Hyperloop plans, as well as raising the funds needed to execute them. Musk estimates that the Hyperloop would cost US$7.5 billion to build.
From Conception to Funding
The Hyperloop project will go through JumpStartFund's standard evolutionary process, which includes allowing investors to comment, add insight, and vote on the stages of the project from its conception to funding.
The inclusion of stakeholder voice is one of the ways in which JumpStartFund is different from popular crowdfunding programs like Kickstarter, said Richard Swart, director of research at the Program for Innovation in Entrepreneurial and Social Finance at the University of California, Berkeley.
Another big difference between the JumpStartFund approach versus Kickstarter's is that JumpStartFund accepts insight and funding only from accredited investors, and it offers those stakeholders equity in return.
Those differences suggest both greater challenges in advancing the Hyperloop project and greater possible rewards for those who do, said Swart. Allowing only accredited investors automatically narrows the available pool, and finding enough interested shareholders could be a challenge.
Still, JumpStartFund could be a great forum for investors who could truly add insight or significant amounts of money to take on the technical, legal and funding hurdles that the Hyperloop would have to overcome, he added.
"It is an extremely smart way of generating attention for the platform, which appears to be targeting to the right type of investors for tech commercialization." Swart told the E-Commerce Times. "It will help the platform attract attention of investors. This is the Achilles heel of crowdfunding -- entrepreneurs are always going to be seeking investors. The challenge is to attract investors to participate on a funding platform."
Don't Hold Your Breath
A crowdfunding initiative could get the Hyperloop off the ground, suggested Robert Hoskins, director of crowdfunding media relations at Front Page Public Relations.
"They could raise enough money to get the momentum going," he told the E-Commerce Times. "They could certainly turn their campaign into the little train that thought they could as they chugged and chugged until they made their way over the hill of doubt and naysayers."
Still, even the site's most optimistic backers probably don't think that JumpStartFund could function like a successful Kickstarter campaign, Swart noted, many of which accumulate the funding needed to whip together a prototype in a mere 30 days.
"The strategy is not to raise the project funds through crowdfunding," Swart maintained. "The strategy is to ... attract interest from potential investors, to organize a community around the project so the ideas can be refined, and eventually to move from crowdfunding to traditional finance."

We continue to hear from readers who are themselves in Iraq, or who have friends or relatives in Iraq, with messages responding to "To our readers in Iraq." We have posted two messages from Marine Gunnery Sergeant Steven Krueger (here and here). Yesterday we also heard from his mother:
I am the mother of Gunnery Sgt Krueger, and I want to thank you so much for publishing Steve's letter. I know it means a lot to him. As you are aware this is Steve's third depoloyment to Iraq and he leaves behind a wife and two beautiful sons. I know he misses them but he also believes in what he does in the Marine Corps.
I have to tell you since he was a very young man, he always wanted to be a Marine. He has been all over the world and has trained with many different coutries and has made many friends. He is usually a very quiet person and doesn't speak his mind and I was really surprised at the letter. He so believes in this and I wish people would just put politics behind and understand we need to continue with this effort. I suppose because many people have never lived the life of a soldier, Marine, airman or sailor, can understand the sacrifices these young men and women, along with their families. We didn't go in the military for the money, that's for sure. Again, thank you for publishing his letter, I know its means a lot to him…
Thank you.
Marilynn Rask
Mrs. Rask also sent us the photo of Gunnery Sergeant Krueger with his platoon (above), adding "he is on the far right of the picture (the one without a gun). This is the first tour for most of these men."

When Saturday rolled around, and Tyler Wilson still hadn't been selected in the 2013 NFL Draft, the former Arkansas quarterback decided to ditch the draft for a trip to Walmart.
Leaving his parents' home in tiny Greenwood, Ark., Wilson wandered the aisles of the local Walmart Supercenter, where a fellow shopper noticed him and asked for a picture with the signal-caller. It was during that photo op when Wilson's phone lit up.
It was the Oakland Raiders on the other line, preparing to make Wilson their fourth-round pick.
"(The guy was) standing right next to me and kind of hears the conversation a little bit," Wilson told the Log Cabin Democrat on Saturday. "I kind felt like everybody in the store at that point had kind of figured out what's going on. That was fun. We ended up getting out of there without too much harm and ended up getting back and celebrated with friends and family."
Wilson spent Friday evening at a party that was supposed to celebrate his path to the NFL, but no teams called that night. A festive cake went to waste, and musicians hired to play the gig wound up using the space for band practice. Ugly times.
"Obviously, it's been a long process, a long three days," Wilson said. "You hope to get picked a littler sooner going into it, but the right situation, I think, is the most important part. And I definitely think I found that situation with Oakland, being in the situation they're in quarterback-wise. I think I have a chance to go in there and compete and have a chance at playing sometime soon."

The implementation of MPI that we ship (mpich) will end up falling over if one of its nodes disappears under its feet, and as far as I know, so will all other implementations. It is for this reason that we recommend users with long-running programs have their programs regularly checkpoint, so that in the unlikely event that there is a problem, minimal work will be lost.

However Duncan is saying that Quadrics don't send a DMA request packet over their network, but have a more optimised less general request that they can issue without having to build a full DMA descriptor in the host machine and transfer it to the target. Therefore in Quadrics' terms no DMA operation is sent over the net, whereas from Patricks' viewpoint a DMA operation _does_ occur. -- -- Jim -- James Cownie <jcownie at etnus.com> Etnus, LLC. +44 117 9071438 http://www.etnus.com

A quick post today on one of the easiest but also one of the best French breads you'll ever have.
There are just four ingredients in this bread, if you don't count the water: flour, yeast, salt and sugar. I don't make this bread whole-grain because that would interfere with the deliciously soft texture which makes it a real treat. If you want a great whole-wheat French bread, try this foolproof whole-wheat French bread recipe with step-by-step pictures— you can't miss.
But for a busy weekend day when I want great, fresh bread for dinner, the one I'm posting today's an absolute winner.
Gotta go now, but a quick nudge to send in your recipes for It's A Vegan World: British. The deadline is July 31. I know it's a bit of a challenge, but hey– which true cook can resist a challenge? I've already got some great entries, but I really, really would love some more, so hurry please!
French Bread
- 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 tsp sugar (this feeds the yeast and helps it grow faster)
- Mix the yeast , sugar and the water in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand five minutes until the yeast flowers or begins to froth.
- Add to the bowl:
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour (can use all-purpose)
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- Mix well and then knead by hand or on low speed five minutes until you have a slightly sticky dough.
- Place in an oiled bowl, turn once to coat, and let it rise, covered, at room temperature 2 hours.
- Punch down the dough and divide into two. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little flour to make it easier to work with.
- Using the palms of your hand, roll each half into a long rope, about 10-12 inches in length.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet and scatter 1-2 tsp of cornmeal on it (to keep the bread from sticking)
- Place the two ropes side by side, with at least 5 inches between them, on the sheet.
- Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.
- Sprinkle some flour on the top of the loaves (this is decorative and therefore optional). With a very sharp blade, make 4-5 diagonal gashes along the length of each loaf.
- About half an hour before the loaves are fully risen, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a baking stone (or unglazed ceramic tiles) on a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Just before you place the bread in the pan, spray the inside of the oven with water.
- Place the baking sheet on the baking stone or tiles. Close the oven. Spray the sides of the oven again with water five minutes later. (The water ensures a crusty loaf)
- Bake for a total of 25 minutes or until the loaves are golden-brown.
- Cool on a rack before cutting.

Author Notes: I've grown rather weary in recent months of the more conventional ways of eating steel cut oats in the morning, so I've developed a variety of savory concoctions, which I look forward to eating for breakfast. Initially, I started stirring in leftover dal and fragrant pilafs into cooked steel cut oats. Then I decided I wanted savory grains and rice in the morning more often than just when we had leftovers on hand, so I started making pots of porridge cooked with similar spices. This is the second such recipe I've posted. (The first -- fragrant with bay, cumin, cinnamon and cashews -- can be found by searching for "Sweet and Savory Oats and Brown Rice, (Quick Version)." Enjoy!! - AntoniaJames —AntoniaJames
Food52 Review: This is not your typical bland breakfast porridge. AntoniaJames combines brown rice and oats with almonds and spices to make something wonderful. The flavor is intriguing, and the mix of grains and nuts gives it a great texture. I had a bowl for breakfast with a light sprinkling of brown sugar and a splash of half-and-half. What a perfect way to start the day! - hardlikearmour —hardlikearmour
Serves: 4-6
½ cup uncooked steel cut oats
½ cup uncooked sweet brown, medium or short brown, or brown basmati rice
2 bay leaves
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom (or more, or less, to taste)
1 small cinnamon stick, broken in two
A tiny pinch of ground cloves (less than 1/16 teaspoon, or more to taste)
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
¼ - ½ cup chopped almonds, toasted
1-2 tablespoons jaggery or dark brown sugar, or more, or less, to taste
- In a small, heavy, lidded saucepan, simmer the bay leaves and spices in 2 ¼ cup water for about five minutes.
- Add the oats, rice, one tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee, and salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn the heat down very low, and cover the pan tightly.
- Allow it to cook for 30 minutes undisturbed. Turn the heat off but do not remove the lid for at least another 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, remove the bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Stir half of the toasted almond pieces into the porridge, and stir well. Taste it, and add more cardamom, but only a tiny bit at a time, to taste.
- Warm the remaining oil or ghee and toss the chopped almonds in it.
- Serve the porridge topped with the almonds. Allow each person to stir in jaggery, to taste.
- This is nice with a pot of freshly-brewed Russian Caravan or other smoky tea.
- Enjoy!!

Parent Directory | Revision Log
Major cleanup of sandbox_futils.c. Removed most of the functions as we now write to /var/log/sandbox/, so in theory do not need all that.
Change log dir to /var/log/sandbox/. Make sure the sandboxed process cannot write to it.
Remove unused 'pids file' code.
Some strncpy/strncat and other cleanups.
Do not abort if TMPDIR is not valid, but rather use '/tmp', bug #94360. Also make sure we re-export the new TMPDIR environment variable.
General cleanups.
Modify get_sandbox_pids_file(), get_sandbox_log() and get_sandbox_debug_log() to use TMPDIR if present in environment.
Add get_sandbox_debug_log(), and use it (add behaviour similar to SANDBOX_LOG if already exported when sandbox started). Fix get_sandbox_log() and new get_sandbox_debug_log() to not use already exported environment variables if they have '/' in them. Use snprintf()'s instead of strncpy()'s. More SB_PATH_MAX fixes.
More path limit fixes. Declare SB_BUF_LEN global and use it where needed.
Fix paths limited to 255 chars. Fix get_sandbox_dir() returning a string with '(null)' in it if we did not call sandbox with absolute path.
Fix typo in code that checks if we got valid group information, causing a segmentation fault, bug #91637.
Make sure all functions used in libsandbox.c is declared static. Define SB_STATIC in localdecls.h for this. Include sandbox_futils.c rather than linking with its object. Hopefully this will fix bug #90153.
White space fixes.
corrections to remove hardcoded paths.
removed the /usr/lib/portage/ hardcoded reference for bashrc.

POTATOES stand pre-eminent among the vegetables used for food. They are tubers belonging to the Nightshade family; their hardy growth renders them easy of cultivation in almost any soil or climate, and, resisting early frosts, they may be raised in a higher latitude than the cereals.
They give needed bulk to food rather than nutriment, and, lacking in proteid, should be used in combination with meat, fish, or eggs.
Potatoes contain an acrid juice, the greater part of which lies near the skin; it passes into the water during boiling of potatoes, and escapes with the steam from a baked potato.
Potatoes are best in the fall, and keep well through the winter. By spring the starch is partially changed to dextrin, giving the potatoes a sweetness, and when cooked a waxiness. The same change takes place when potatoes are frozen. To prevent freezing, keep a pail of cold water standing near them.
Potatoes keep best in a cool dry cellar, in barrels or piled in a bin. When sprouts appear they should be removed; receiving their nourishment from the starch, they deteriorate the potato.
New potatoes may be compared to unripe fruit, the starch grains not having reached maturity; therefore they should not be given to children or invalids.
Sweet Potatoes[edit]
Sweet potatoes, although analogous to white potatoes, are fleshy roots of the plant, belong to a different family (Convolvulus), and contain a much larger percentage of sugar. Our own country produces large quantities of sweet potatoes, which may be grown as far north as New Jersey and Southern Michigan. Kiln-dried sweet potatoes are the best, as they do not so quickly spoil.
Baked Potatoes[edit]
Select smooth, medium-sized potatoes. Wash, using a vegetable brush, and place in dripping-pan. Bake in hot oven forty minutes or until soft, remove from oven, and serve at once. If allowed to stand, unless the skin is ruptured for escape of steam, they become soggy. Properly baked potatoes are more easily digested than potatoes cooked in any other way, as some of the starch is changed to dextrin by the intense heat. They are better cooked in boiling water than baked in a slow oven.
Boiled Potatoes[edit]
Select potatoes of uniform size. Wash, pare, and drop at once in cold water to prevent discoloration; soak one-half hour in the fall, and one to two hours in winter and spring. Cook in boiling salted water until soft, which is easily determined by piercing with a skewer. For seven potatoes allow one tablespoon salt, and boiling water to cover. Drain from water, and keep uncovered in warm place until serving time. Avoid sending to table in a covered vegetable dish. In boiling large potatoes, it often happens that outside is soft, while centre is underdone. To finish cooking without potatoes breaking apart, add one pint cold water, which drives heat to centre, thus accomplishing the cooking.
Riced Potatoes[edit]
Force hot boiled potatoes through a potato ricer or coarse strainer. Serve lightly piled in a hot vegetable dish.
Mashed Potatoes[edit]
To five riced potatoes add three tablespoons butter, one teaspoon salt, few grains pepper, and one-third cup hot milk; beat with fork until creamy, reheat, and pile lightly in hot dish.
Potato Omelet[edit]
Prepare Mashed Potatoes, turn in hot omelet pan greased with one tablespoon butter, spread evenly, cook slowly until browned underneath, and fold as an omelet.
Potato Border[edit]
Place a buttered mould on platter, build around it a wall of hot Mashed Potatoes, using nine potatoes, three and one-half inches high by one inch deep, smooth, and crease with case knife. Remove mould, fill with creamed meat or fish, and reheat in oven before serving.
Escalloped Potatoes[edit]
Wash, pare, soak, and cut four potatoes in one-forth inch slices. Put a layer in buttered baking-dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, and dot over with one-half tablespoon butter; repeat. Add hot milk until it may be seen through top layer, bake one and one-fourth hours or until potato is soft.
Potatoes à la Hollandaise[edit]
Wash, pare, soak, and cut potatoes in one-fourth inch slices, shape with French vegetable cutters; or cut in one-half inch cubes. Cover three cups potato with White Stock, cook until soft, and drain. Cream one-third cup butter, add one tablespoon lemon juice, one-half teaspoon salt, and few grains of cayenne. Add to potatoes, cook three minutes, and add one-half tablespoon finely chopped parsley.

Betelgeuse Shop
Arthur (1981) DVD
Regular price $9.99
Arthur (1981)
Director:Steve Gordon
Writer:Steve Gordon
Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, John Gielgud
The ads for Arthur suggested that this was an obnoxious film about an obnoxious man, an eternally drunken millionaire indulging his every whim. Instead, Arthur (Dudley Moore) is a sweet, somewhat pathetic character whose millions have left him lonely and with no motivation in life. When the film opens, Arthur is on the threshold of an arranged marriage with simpering socialite Susan (Jill Eikenberry), whom he does not love. Everyone expects Arthur to behave himself, but nobody truly cares for his well-being, with the exception of father-figure butler Mr. Hobson (John Gielgud, who won an Oscar for his performance) and blue-collar shoplifter Linda (Liza Minnelli). Arthur would prefer to marry the lowly Linda, but his iron-willed grandmother (Geraldine Fitzgerald) threatens to pull the plug on his huge inheritance if he doesn't honor his position in life and go through with his marriage to Susan. A sequel, Arthur 2: On the Rocks, followed in 1988.

Family: Kara Ronchetti (Spouse), Merlot (Cat)
Major & Minor: Comprehensive Environmental Geography
Year Graduated: 2011
Current Employer: Burns & McDonnell Engineering
Length of Employment: 1 year
Interests and Hobbies: Hiking, cooking, and making my wife smile
What helped you decide what route to take after graduation (i.e. graduate school or type of job)? My age. I was a non-traditional student at the age of 30 when I graduated. I was eager to start a professional life, so I could retire with some pep left in my step. As for the type of job, I wanted variety. I didn't want to be behind a computer every second of my professional life.
What do you think gave you the edge to get your current position? I would say that is three fold. Having had professional experience in the way of internships and student work, the references that come from performing at my best in those positions, and a solid GPA.
Describe your typical day at work: As an environmental specialist, working mainly in a GIS support capacity for the Environmental Services and Permitting division within Burns & Mac, my job is wide ranging in tasks. Though much of my work revolves around GIS and data management responsibilities, 25% of my time is spent in the field collecting support data for analysis. A few examples include: finding estimated sediment load within a reservoir utilizing bathymetric and sediment-core data; calculating the impacts of potential high voltage electric transmission lines on environmental, engineering, and civic factors; thermal variance studies that analyze temperature variance in water-bodies near power generating facilities; and assisting with wetland delineations and soil surveys.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself ushering in an expansion of GIS support directly within my division, and if I am lucky, managing the GIS workflow as a section manager.
What advice can you give to those who are still in school? Take school seriously. Not only is it expensive, but it is the foundation for everything you will do professionally going forward. Our professors dedicate much of their lives to creating an environment that is conducive to learning, understanding, and excelling, but they can only give you the torch. It is your responsibility to take that torch and run with it. Study, research, experiment, and learn from failure. Also, do everything in your power to get boots-on-the-ground internship experience. What you learn in an internship can be in-valuable, but what's more is the networking and references you gain in the professional world. A solid GPA will get you an interview, but good references can get you the job. Finally, appreciate your professors. They do so much to give you a leg up, the least you can do is say thank you.

In the end, the Legion's dirty tactics yielded the result they were working towards all week, when Marcellas Reynolds (BB3) became the sixth All-Star to be evicted from the house during last night's live broadcast by a unanimous vote by his fellow Houseguests (the two nominees do not vote and the Head of Household only votes in the event of a tie). On Sunday, Erika Landin (BB4) lost Head of Household when a technical glitch forced a new HOH competition. Janelle then captured the HOH role for the third time this season and nominated Danielle Reyes (BB3) and Erika Landin. On Tuesday, Danielle won the Power of Veto and took herself off of the chopping block. Erika was left up for eviction and Janelle nominated Marcellas to join her. During last night's live broadcast, Marcellas Reynolds, the celebrity stylist originally from Chicago and currently residing in Los Angeles, learned his fate, said his goodbyes and left the house. After leaving BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Marcellas was interviewed by host Julie Chen about his experience in the house, as well as on "The Early Show" on Friday morning. He became the first jury member. The Houseguests were surprised to learn that this is a Double Eviction week. Immediately after winning HOH "Chicken" George Boswell (BB1) was told by Julie Chen to name the nominees and he nominated James and Erika for eviction. On Sunday, another Houseguest will be evicted from the Big Brother House. In addition, last night Mike "Boogie" Malin (BB2) was informed by Julie Chen that he had won the Coup d'Etat with the phrase "You Reap What You Sow." He can use the coup d'etat in any of the next three evictions to overthrow the current HOH and name new nominees on the spot. For more information about the aftermath of Marcellas' eviction from BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, log on to www.CBS.com http://www.cbs.com and watch Marcellas' live interview on "Housecalls: The Big Brother Talk Show" on Friday (1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT). BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS is broadcast each week on Tuesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The Thursday broadcast, hosted by Julie Chen, will feature the live eviction of one of the houseguests. The Houseguests: "Chicken" George Boswell, 47 (BB1), Rockford, Ill.

Replying to The Road To Coruscant
Topic Summary
Posted 23 May 2014 - 08:07 PM
I thought it was appropriately place, but please let the powers that be move it/delete it if I was incorrect
Posted 23 May 2014 - 07:57 PM
To be honest for stuff like that we'd need a whole nother thread.
Posted 23 May 2014 - 04:25 PM
Since we don't have that I had two alternative ideas. 1) Let Isard start with/be able to build seemingly passive or unarmed civvies that can act as surprise, maybe suicide if we wanna get rather dark, units. I.E. They would be like fireships but for ground.
2) Alternatively, just give Isard herself, a minor version of the Emperor's mind control ability. Long cool-down, small AoE.
Posted 19 May 2014 - 12:28 AM
They're not even that over powered, really, it's just that they grand you easy early heavy capital ships, and even then it's mostly a Empire issue with all of the ISD hero ships basically giving you an ISD for a higher price but no research required.
Well, the special attacks some ISDs have are over powered, I admit, but I'm for removing all special attacks unless it's simulating an actual ability the vessel has.
Posted 18 May 2014 - 11:17 AM
I'll tell you this: fleet heroes in space combat will be less overpowered than in 1.2.
That situation needed to be fixed.
Posted 16 May 2014 - 07:02 AM
I would like it if hero's were able to have their ship upgraded the same as the mainline vessels.
Quite a few of them quickly become outdated.
Posted 14 May 2014 - 05:37 PM
This will change in the next release, since the free (pop. wise in tactical anyway) is kinda cheap. I do hope hero bonuses get at least a small buff to make up for it.
Posted 14 May 2014 - 03:05 PM
Ah, ok thanks. That's a bit of a bummer but I guess I'll have to risk my hero's more now.
Ummm... Oops...
Posted 14 May 2014 - 03:04 PM
Posted 14 May 2014 - 05:26 AM
Far as I know they're gone from the latest version, other than as starting units, but I mostly just do GFFA rather than Core Worlds (for whatever reason it runs the smoothest for me).
That said, the profusion of fleet commander hero units is enough to at least somewhat replace the need for them, not to mention give you lots of over priced ISD I and IIs w/o having to research the vessels.
And if you dunno which guys have which ship, it's like playing the lottery.
Get the right guy upgraded, and you have an ISDII early on.

Dwarves of Erebor
|Dwarves of Erebor
|General Information
|Gimli, Thorin II Oakenshield
|Physical Description
|Short in stature
|Average height
|Five feet or less
The Dwarves of Erebor were those who dwelt in the halls of Erebor, beneath the Lonely Mountain.
The Dwarves may have first colonized the mountain as early as the Second Age[source?], but after the awakening of the Balrog and the flight of Durin's folk from Khazad-dûm, it was for the first time densely populated.
Thráin I established the Kingdom under the Mountain fleeing from Moria. During his time the Arkenstone was discovered, the most prized possession of the Kingdom. His son, Thorin I, later became King under the Mountain but after seeing the wealth of the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains, he abandoned Erebor.
When the Cold-drakes invaded the Grey Mountains, they drove most of the Dwarves out. Thrór, a descendant of Thorin I, took some of his people and flew the Grey Mountains for Erebor. His brother Grór continued east with a great following of Durin's folk to the Iron Hills while himself refounded the kingdom of Erebor in T.A. 2590.
Second Kingdom
The Dwarves gained the friendship of the Northmen along the Celduin and had much trade of goods, beautiful trinkets, and weapons with the town of Dale. The Dwarves of Erebor also had much traffic of ores with their kinsmen in the Iron Hills and the region had peace and prosperity for many years.
The Dwarves were properous, and made great wealth for themselves until they were dispossessed of their immense wealth by Smaug the Dragon, who flew south from the Ered Mithrin and sacked their kingdom in T.A. 2770.
The Dwarves reclaimed their inheritance many years later under the leadership of Thorin II. But it was the descendants of Dáin II Ironfoot that ruled there ever after.
Language and writing
The Dwarves of Erebor spoke Khuzdul but used the Language of Dale for their public names.[1]
Coming from Moria, the Dwarves brought with them the Angerthas Moria, which however was modified further. For some reason some runes of Angerthas Moria were reverted back to their Elvish values in Angerthas. The resulting variation was known as Angerthas Erebor.[2]
Noted Dwarves from Erebor were:
- Thráin I
- Thorin I
- Thrór
- Thráin II
- Thorin
- Balin, Dwalin
- Dori, Nori, Ori
- Óin, Glóin
- Bifur, Bofur, Bombur
- Gimli
- Dáin II Ironfoot
- Thorin III Stonehelm
- Floi, Loni, Nali, Frár
- Dís
- Frerin
- Fundin

Wprowadzenie do Zend Framework
Nauka Zend Framework
Przewodnik po Zend Framework
Each validator which is based on
Zend_Validate provides
one or multiple messages in the case of a failed validation. You can use
this information to set your own messages, or to translate existing messages which a
validator could return to something different.
These validation messages are constants which can be found at top of each validator class.
Let's look into
Zend_Validate_GreaterThan for an descriptive example:
protected $_messageTemplates = array(
self::NOT_GREATER => "'%value%' is not greater than '%min%'",
As you can see the constant
self::NOT_GREATER refers to the failure and
is used as key, and the message itself is used as value of the message array.
You can retrieve all message templates from a validator by using the
getMessageTemplates() method. It returns you the above array which
contains all messages a validator could return in the case of a failed validation.
$validator = new Zend_Validate_GreaterThan();
$messages = $validator->getMessageTemplates();
Using the
setMessage() method you can set another message to be
returned in case of the specified failure.
$validator = new Zend_Validate_GreaterThan();
'Please enter a lower value',
The second parameter defines the failure which will be overridden. When you omit this parameter, then the given message will be set for all possible failures of this validator.
Zend Framework is shipped with more than 45 different validators with more than 200
failure messages. It can be a tedious task to translate all of these messages. But for
your convenience Zend Framework comes with already pre-translated validation messages.
You can find them within the path
/resources/languages in your
Zend Framework installation.
|Used path
The resource files are outside of the library path because all of your translations should also be outside of this path.
So to translate all validation messages to German for example, all you have to do is to
attach a translator to
Zend_Validate using these resource files.
$translator = new Zend_Translate(
'adapter' => 'array',
'content' => '/resources/languages',
'locale' => $language,
'scan' => Zend_Translate::LOCALE_DIRECTORY
|Used translation adapter
As translation adapter Zend Framework chose the array adapter. It is simple to edit and created very fast.
|Supported languages
This feature is very young, so the amount of supported languages may not be complete. New languages will be added with each release. Additionally feel free to use the existing resource files to make your own translations.
You could also use these resource files to rewrite existing translations. So you are not in need to create these files manually yourself.
Sometimes it is necessary to limit the maximum size a validation message can have.
For example when your view allows a maximum size of 100 chars to be rendered on one
line. To simplify the usage,
Zend_Validate is able to
automatically limit the maximum returned size of a validation message.
To get the actual set size use
Zend_Validate::getMessageLength(). If it is -1, then the
returned message will not be truncated. This is default behaviour.
To limit the returned message size use
Zend_Validate::setMessageLength(). Set it to any integer size
you need. When the returned message exceeds the set size, then the message
will be truncated and the string '...' will be added instead of
the rest of the message.
|Where is this parameter used?
The set message length is used for all validators, even for self defined ones,
as long as they extend

Our appetite for breaking news updates about Kim Kardashian's ever-changing body will never be satiated. But even we need to mix things up now and again. So let's talk about her sister Kourtney's body instead. How is it different?
Well, it seems to be smaller, because Kourtney is shorter than Kim. And it also contains a different human soul, which expresses itself through its own unique personality (YES, Kardashians do too have souls ... stop being so mean). Kim's body is somewhat hard to describe with any sense of certainty, because it's always evolving as her lifestyle changes. Compared to her sis, Kourtney seems a bit more consistent—affording body analysts a bit more leeway in coming up with authoritative assessments. So let's just describe the Kourtney bod like E! does: "stunning," "slammin," and "picture-perfect":
Hmm, maybe if you swear off carbs and drinks, you too can obtain a tiny baby and bad jerk-boyfriend of your very own? We've heard that it happens. Sometimes the baby and boyfriend sneak up on the unsuspecting woman while she's on an exercise machine. They greet her with a smile and a Vitamin water, and the trio instantly becomes a happy family.
So, which Kardashibody will E! report on next? Will it finally become Khloe's turn? Or will E! take a generational detour and focus on Kris Jenner before covering Khloe's body news? Life gets more suspenseful and exciting every day.
E! should consider doing a longer feature in which Bruce Jenner (gold-medal patriarch) leads the family in a personal branding decathlon. In unity, there's strength.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Benjamin Netanyahu is almost certain to be Israel's next prime minister, and his Likud Party is now the largest faction in the Knesset. Nevertheless, yesterday's election is being touted as a defeat for Netanyahu after his combined Likud-Israel Beiteinu ticket failed to win as many seats as the two parties previously controlled.
As a result, Netanyahu is looking at a much harder time forming a stable coalition.
Why did this happen? Most of our Christian readers abroad have a very high view of Netanyahu, but they might be surprised to know that is not shared by most Israelis.
There is no question that a very large percentage of Israelis across the board view Netanyahu as Israel's most skilled diplomat and one of its most capable war-time leaders. When buses are exploding and rockets are falling, nearly all Israelis want Netanyahu at the helm.
With the explosion of the Second Intifada in 2000 and the fall of the Barak government, the pubic was prepared to amend various laws to let Netanyahu contest the vacant prime minister's chair, which he legally couldn't do having temporarily retired from politics two years earlier.
But in a time of relative peace and security, things look different. And Netanyahu has been successfully painted as a "piggish capitalist," a high-roller whose policies only truly benefit the wealthier tiers of Israeli society and who is smugly out of touch with the average citizen. By contrast, most left-wing leaders, though many are just as wealthy as Netanyahu, are universally portrayed as "working class."
So when it comes to economic issues, Netanyahu is not highly trusted, even if his government implemented several programs that aided the middle and lower classes. With the general cost of living still posing a problem for many Israelis, it was easy to hang that stone around Netanyahu's neck and watch him sink.
In addition to economic woes, or perhaps because of them, Israelis are becoming increasingly intolerant of an Orthodox sector that doesn't work, doesn't pay taxes, doesn't serve in the army, yet nevertheless receives enormous amounts of government funding for yeshivas and welfare payments.
Netanyahu's problem is that he is seen as being quite chummy with the Orthodox community's political power brokers at a time when the secular public are fed up with them. Again, by contrast, his opponents to the left, especially newcomer Yair Lapid, actively campaigned against continued payouts to the Orthodox community without shared national service.
Israel is a difficult nation to govern. It has well known security issues, but being such a small nation it also has economic issues that can quickly have a major negative impact on the entire population if not handled with great care. And that is to say nothing of the contentious secular-religious divide.
To be sure, no prime minister has managed to effectively cover all the bases, and Netanyahu has likely done better than most. But because no leader is perfect, no Israeli leader is ever going to enjoy long-term widespread support in such a volatile situation.

Late show sinks Celtic
AC Milan struck twice late on to beat luckless Celtic 2-0 in their Champions League Group H opener at the San Siro.
The home side were struggling against Neil Lennon's men and in need of some inspiration as the game entered the final stages.
However, they got a huge slice of luck when defender Cristian Zapata's drive in the 82nd minute appeared to be heading wide before it deflected off Parkhead left-back Emilio Izaguirre and ended up behind Fraser Forster.
The Hoops goalkeeper was beaten again four minutes later despite making a great save from Mario Balotelli's free-kick, as midfielder Sulley Muntari knocked in the rebound.
Much was made of AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri's lengthy injury-list which included the absence of Kaka and captain Riccardo Montolivo but the home side, and indeed they looked disjointed for most of the match.
Much of that, however, was down to the performance of Celtic.
Forster had to make several saves early on and one near the end of the first-half, but in between, the visitors enjoyed more than their fair share of possession.
There was a confidence in the way the Scottish champions kept the ball albeit it without threatening Milan keeper Christian Abbiati too much.
After the break Muntari missed a great chance while Hoops' in-form striker Anthony Stokes hit the top of the bar with a free-kick.
The two late goals, though, were a sickener for Celtic who take on Barcelona in their next group fixture at Parkhead at the start of October with Ajax also waiting in the wings.
However, on their overall display, they can go forward in the group with some confidence.
Allegri complained on Tuesday of a long list absentees including Kaka and captain Riccardo Montolivo but he could still afford to leave Robinho on the bench as he went with former Manchester City forward Balotelli and Alessandro Matri in attack.
Midfielder Joe Ledley dropped out with a groin injury to be replaced by Charlie Mulgrew while Georgios Samaras came in for Derk Boerrigter, who started on the bench.
Milan, seven-times winners of European club football's top trophy, took control of the game after Kris Commons fired a free-kick from 25 yards high over the bar in the first minute.
Forster was first called into action in the four minutes later when he parried Balotelli's powerful volley clear with midfielder Antonio Nocerino driving the rebound wide.
Moments later, right-back Cristian Zaccardo tested the big English keeper with a drive before Forster and defender Virgil van Dijk combined to block Matri as the Italian side got through again.
Forster then had to concede a corner with another decent save from Matri's flashing header after Cristian Zaccardo was allowed to get in a cross from the right.
However, Celtic had by this time steadied themselves and grown in stature and their diligence continued to frustrate the impatient home crowd.
There was a scare for the visitors, though, just after the half-hour mark when Nocerino sent a dipping volley just over the bar from the edge of the box after taking a pass from defender Philippe Mexes with the Hoops defence vulnerable.
Five minutes from the interval a careless pass towards his own goal from wide on the right from Milan midfielder Valter Birsa went straight to Stokes, who turned Zapata inside the box but his shot took a deflection for a corner, which again the home side defended comfortably.
Seconds into added time in the first half, Forster had to scramble down low to his left to save a low drive from Balotelli which deflected off Hoops defender Efe Ambrose and which appeared to heading for the corner of the net.
The visitors started the second half brimming with belief and came close five minutes after the restart when Samaras drove just past the post from 25 yards.
The Milan fans were becoming increasingly frustrated as Celtic encroached into their box with menace although the visitors escaped again in the 62nd minute when Muntari missed a sitter, heading Zapata's cross over from three yards.
Celtic had their best chance in the 67th minute when Commons played in skipper Scott Brown with a clever pass but Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong, who had earlier conceded possession, retrieved the situation with a great saving tackle and the Scotland midfielder's shot lacked the pace to trouble Abbiati.
In the 79th minute Celtic substitute Teemu Pukki, on for Commons, was brought down by De Jong 30 yards from goal but Stokes's free-kick clipped the bar on the way over before the late frustration which started when Zapata's drive from 30 yards took a touch off Izaguirre before nestling behind Forster.
More woe visited Celtic when Brown was booked for a foul on Balotelli, whose curling free-kick from 25 yards was brilliantly saved by Forster, only for Muntari to bundle the rebound in to take the three points.
