Don't forget Sun Araw @ Whammy Bar on 15th Oct...we do OK down here in NZ.
Yep the lineup for the next few months looks superb!
(P.S. can it please be "pedalling"?)

The National, who still hold the #1 spot in my trophy cabinet for their Kings Arms show a couple of years back. First concert's already sold out in 30 minutes, but the second one's still available I think.
Also sold out. Fuck.
Point being, I reckon we're doing okay.
Yeah, doing okay.
I am looking forward to Paul Weller at the Powerstation at the end of October. Summer's coming!

Too right on the weather. The choon that sprang to my mind as the sun came out, an oldie but a goodie:
"One of these days, you're gonna rise up singing
Spread your wings, and take to the sky"
- Summertime, various artists, Ella Fitzgerald being my favourite.
And I also took to 2 wheels and just went a-rambling. It feels like a great weight has been lifted, to be honest.
Funnily enough here in HB I'm not as enthused about gig going-but that could have something to do with the need to travel to see anything apart from the usual winery concerts we get each summer. And there's nothing I'd put myself out to travel to see at the moment anyway. But if you're out and about in Auckland tonight top HB band Devils Elbow are playing the new band night at Shadows in support of their great new album. If you're into alt country/Replacements rock and roll they're a good band and feature Andrew once of Garageland on drums.
Summertime, various artists, Ella Fitzgerald being my favourite.
Try the version on the newish Brian Wilson album if you've not heard it. I grimaced when I read of the forthcoming Reimagines Gershwin album a few months lack but he actually pulls it off, with a couple of bumps.
We get an enormous array of music down here considering how far these peeps have to travel. I am most excited - and most unapologetic about it - to see Simply Red. Some say Hucknall is cheesy, and he is, but his music just makes me happy. And that, after all is said and done, is what this music listening lark is all about.

Yes, especially when you consider that most of the countries in between get very few. The advantages of living close ( by our standards, but certainly not by European or American ones) to Australia.
With the sellouts, bands rarely seem to upgrade to larger venues. Why is that? A shortage of bookable venues, or is it for other reasons related to the business?
With the sellouts, bands rarely seem to upgrade to larger venues.
Various reasons..a signed contract; bigger venues incur more in way of costs and it's often safer for the promoter in a risky business to gratefully bank the cheque; and the venue sometimes underwrites the gig and/or the venues booze suppliers.
Yes, especially when you consider that most of the countries in between get very few.
Which mostly comes down to the fact that most audiences, especailly in Asia, are reluctant to pay the sort of money to see an act that an Australian (which is the main reason acts come south) or NZ audience will.
In Bangkok NZ$15-20 will get you into a venue for an international act with the first two drinks free. Few will pay more which cuts out acts that are not label supported.
Hey it's been rather more than a fortnight this year - t-shirt weather since June.
You guys get the New Pornographers soon, too: I'd definitely recommend seeing them. (Probably no Neko Case, but still worth it). NZ's definitely been getting some good bands in the last few years.
Zach's right about the weather here too. And I'm seeing the National for the third time this year in a couple of weeks :D. Plus trying to decide whether to book to see the Primals' Screamadelica gig again they bring it back here. On the one hand, I'll have already seen it; on the other - much better venue (Brixton Academy v Olympia), and it is one of my favourite albums....
And yet none of these bands are coming to Wellington (sigh)....
I just happened to catch The National last month as both they and I were rather randomly passing through Switzerland. Such a cool and intimate (only about 2000 people) outdoor summer festival and they were truly in magnificent form.
As someone who was also at the Kings Arms gig a couple of years back, standing beside the freakishly tall Oliver Driver I can testify to the #1 trophy spot. The small setting and the intensity of their live show were spell-binding. I just love this band and can't seem to get their latest CD out of my car stereo. I have a near pathological obsession with tracks 2 and 8. Almost wish I was going again at the Powerstation.
Although living in Europe still has huge advantages. In the space of a month I saw LCD soundsystem, Massive Attack and Fat Freddy's in Paris, The National, Faithless, Iggy, Motorhead (?) and Peaches in Switzerland and then Hot Chip and Arcade Fire in London.
However to cap off that wanky paragraph, it has rained the last two days and before we know it, it will be dark at 4:30pm.
and of course the 3x sold out Paul Weller gigs at the Powerstation come month end. Not being overly familiar with Auckland venues, I'm relieved to read your positive thoughts on that particular venue Damian. I was at the Logan Campbell for The Specials last year and while the band itself blew me away, the venue wasn't so great. Looking forward to Weller.
Just on the Hook/Joy Division thing - at least Hook's voice will suit the JD songs. Anyone familiar with New Order's first post-JD album 'Movement' will know how similar Hook's baritone sounds to that of Ian Curtis (Hook sung a few tracks on that release before Sumner took over NO's vocals on later albums). That'll be a decent gig.
I was at the Logan Campbell for The Specials last year and while the band itself blew me away, the venue wasn't so great.
The Logan Concrete Centre, some used to call it.
hey damian, I've been fortunate enough to see a few of those things being based in london. I'll be interested in what people think of the Joy Division thing. I'm a massive fan, both of them and new order and to be frank, while I love all things those groups (and hopefully always will) I found it to be pretty disappointing. I've seen a couple of hooky spoken words, and been to see his new band freebass, all of which were great in their own way....also seen Bernard's new band twice - Bad Lieutenant, also really enjoyable.
But the unknown pleasures thing seemed like a step too far. I found myself wondering if it was really necessary that I see this - to be honest I was cringing a bit. Admittedly the venue wasn't great - a hot summer festival day in shoreditch - but it just seemed a bit sad really.
Just my opinion of course, as I said, I'd be interested in what people think when he plays back home. It's great so many good bands go through there, kudos to the promoters, particularly mystery girl and the other feller (can't remember the name of his company) matt c.
On a final note - everyone should go and see the fall. He's pretty incoherent these days, but it's always worth it, even if it's just to see how badly he treats his band!
none of these bands are coming to Wellington (sigh)
Not enough people live there
And almost nobody lives on the Coast...
"Summertime" is one of those truly great songs, almost unsingable by people with a normal range...I first heard it in the film version of "Porgy & Bess" and have 10 versions so far.
DSo I love it?
...can I just say Thank F***k the weather finally changed...
Capital F, indicating a proper noun, three asterixes = five letters in total. Who is Frank, and what control over the weather does he hold?
Email Web
I thought it might be Flick (The Little Fire Engine).
Not being overly familiar with Auckland venues, I'm relieved to read your positive thoughts on that particular venue Damian.
The Powerstation is a really good venue if you're short, too. I heart it.
Maybe not the greatest version, but name anyone who beats Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sam Cooke. Nevertheless, it's cool enough.

Tenant finds laundry room noise intolerable
Q: I live in a small apartment property, with four separate rental cottages. There is a laundry room on the property, right next to my cottage; in fact it is part of the same structure.
I knew the laundry room was nearby when I signed a one-year lease, but what I didn't expect was that the other tenants would decide to do their laundry at all hours of the day and the night.
When someone uses the washer and dryer at 2 o'clock in the morning, I lose several hours of sleep. This happens quite often.
I know that laundry privileges are included in every rental agreement for the tenants, but do I have any right to insist that the room be closed after a certain time?
A: California law implies a promise that every residential tenant will be able to live in their rental property, protected by a covenant of "quiet enjoyment." This right to quiet enjoyment is not described in specific detail because it is intended to create a general right to enjoy one's tenancy in reasonable peace and quiet.
This right to quiet enjoyment requires a balance between the needs of different tenants living at the same property with different lifestyles.
In the circumstances you describe, the question would be whether disturbing you to use the laundry equipment in the middle of the night is an unreasonable infringement on your peace and quiet versus a limitation on laundry hours that would infringe on the right of other tenants to clean their possessions at a time that works best for them.
If you read this column regularly, you know that we often recommend mediation as an alternative to litigation or other adversarial methods to resolve disputes. Your situation is particularly suited for a mediation type of approach.
Mediation could bring the other tenants together with you to work out reasonable ground rules for use of the laundry room, balancing the needs of everyone.
This approach should be appealing to your landlord, who would otherwise be caught in the middle of competing demands from you versus the other tenants. Contact your local mediation program to see if the program can help with this approach.
If there is no mediation program available, or the other tenants won't cooperate, you need to approach your landlord to assert that your right to quiet enjoyment is being violated, which would be a violation of your lease. The landlord would need to unilaterally impose new rules for the laundry room or risk a claim from you for the resulting damages or a decision by you to consider breaking your lease.
However, before thinking about breaking a lease, you would need to show you took every reasonable step to rectify the violation, because a judge would need to be convinced that this violation of your right to quiet enjoyment was truly unbearable and that no other remedy was available to you.

DICE community manager Daniel Matros describes Bad Company 2's Vietnam expansion as a community driven effort and details the new vehicles, weapons, and maps fans of the franchise have been asking for.
The expansion will be available sometime in "winter 2010" on Xbox Live, Steam, and PlayStation Network for $15/1,200 Microsoft Points. That $15 will buy you:
-- 4 Brand New Maps. From the rice fields of the Phu Bai Valley to the napalm scorched earth of Hill 137, four distinct Vietnam-based maps each bring a fresh visual and gameplay experience.
-- 6 Immortalized Vehicles. Skim the treetops in the iconic American Huey helicopter. Drive the sturdy Russian T54 tank and the nimble U.S. PBR "Pibber" patrol boat, plus three more vehicles immortalized in the Vietnam war.
-- 15 Characteristic Weapons. Charge into battle with 15 new weapons modeled on their real life counter-parts, including the rare Navy SEAL XM22 machinegun and the characteristic M79 "Blooper" Grenade Launcher.
-- Rocking 60's Soundtrack. Listen to 8 radio channels in-game, featuring 49 time typical tracks, including "Ride of the Valkyries" and "Fortunate Son" by CCR.
-- True War Dialogue. All-new voiceovers for both American and Vietnamese forces, based on authentic communication from the Vietnam war for maximum immersion.
-- New Achievements/Trophies. Collect 10 new achievements/trophies, one for blowing up Vietnamese propaganda speakers. Earn new weapon proficiency stars specific to your skills with the weapons in the expansion.
Sharkey says: I'm looking forward to this one, mainly because everyone will be using iron sights (everyone aside from you pesky snipers). Takes me back to the old Battlefield days. Should make for more of a challenge. As for the flamethrower, it always looks great in trailers, but does anyone actually ever use it?

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The nationally-ranked No. 23 MIT men's cross country team finished first out of nine teams at Saturday's Plansky Invitational hosted by Williams College. The meet served as the Engineers' final tune-up before the NEWMAC championships in two weeks at Franklin Park.
Five Tech harriers finished in the top 11 to push the Cardinal and Gray past The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) by 14 points. Jake Ruzevick continued to show improvement after missing a few races earlier in the season, pacing the Engineers and finishing third overall with a time of 26:32. Paul Welle crossed the finish line directly behind him, just a second slower. Yermie Cohen was the third straight MIT runner through the chute, eight seconds behind Welle. For the first time this season, Hemagiri Arumugam (26:52) was not the fastest Tech runner, as his eighth place finish was good for fourth on the team. Trevor Rundell rounded out the scoring, placing 11th with a time of 27:01.
Christopher Guerriero of TCNJ was the top overall finisher with a time of 25:25. The Engineers and Lions accounted for seven of the top nine runners.
MIT returns to action in two weeks, on Saturday, November 1 when they host the NEWMAC championships at Franklin Park. The men's race begins at 11:00 a.m.

Okay, it's starting to get to the point where we need to reorganise this page a little. Some of the sections have 5 or so tutorials (like i18n and dbus) which is perfect because they're all on the same topic. However, the "Getting started" section is messy. All I think should be in there is "Introduction To KDE 4 Programming", "Introduction to CMake", "Using Qt Designer to build user interfaces" and "Debugging your application" since they're all necessary introductory tutorials.
However, we still have a number of tutorials which will have nowhere to go such as "Command-line Args", "Drag and Drop" and other 'one-off' tutorials like those. Maybe a "Misc" category (though those always look messy)?
Any Thoughts? --milliams 23:15, 6 January 2007 (CET)
There are 2 tutorials which are not linked to from here, so they are orphaned and nobody will find them. See Orphaned Pages. I am not sure to which section they belong.
TMG 23:10, 30 January 2007 (CET)
Hi all, I hope this is the right place to make this observation.
Something that I'd find really useful would be a discussion about project layout for KDE4 applications. How, using CMake, is the best way to layout a non-trivial application? What is the practice with regard to developing library and applications under a single CMake project and creating the correct build dependencies, making sure the includes are handled correctly etc?
I'm not 100% sure what heading this concept should go under. It touches on general development, CMake use and even a bit on SVN layout etc. --Borker

how to store leftover egg yolks Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Authors: Sassy Radish written by Olga
I'm always sad when I have to throw out a perfectly good ingredient just because I can't find much use for it at that very moment. I've been too cold to contemplate ice cream, and at the moment, there's no room in my freezer – as it is chock full of fish (courtesy of the lovely folks from the Alaska Fish Council – more on that at a later date).
But I bet that if you've ever made marshmallows, or meringue, or macaroons (or macarons for that matter, you had leftover egg yolk and you probably wondered how to save it, right?
A few weeks ago, when I was elbow deep in testing marshmallow recipes for my hot chocolate addiction, I wound up with quite a few loose egg yolks. I simply stirred the yolks with a pinch of salt, put a piece of plastic wrap on top of the yolks, covered with a lid, and placed the container in the freezer (with a date written on top of a piece of masking tape, which I find to be an indispensable tool in the kitchen). Those yolks will be good for at least about 2 months, and I'm willing to bet that I'll have that ice cream hankering sooner rather than later. Or better yet, I'll make lemon curd instead!

Buy CBD Oil in Vancouver Washington
CBD Oil has become especially popular in Vancouver Washington after becoming legal thanks to the joint efforts of activists and researchers like Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Dr. Gupta, the Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN, has been an active medical marijuana advocate and has published many articles and hosted documentaries about its amazing benefits.
Between the outlaw image, complex composition, and questionable legal status, the marijuana plant's effect on the body and mind have somewhat always remained a mystery. However, CBD, one of the marijuana plant's derivatives, is enjoying a revered status in many states across America.
But what exactly is CBD? And how does the public stand a chance to benefit from it? Keep on reading to find out.
About CBD and its benefits
Cannabidiol or CBD is a compound of cannabis that is known for its incredible medical benefits. This substance differs from other marijuana compounds in the sense that it does not or contains significantly less THC, a psychoactive substance that causes the feeling of being "high."
Because of the fact that CBD is considerably less psychoactive than the THC-dominant strains, it makes sense for patients for wanting to use it to get relief from PTSD, epilepsy, autism, depression, arthritis, diabetes, infections immune to antibiotics, and other neurological conditions.
CBD has also shown several neurogenic and neuroprotective effects, which are currently being investigated along with its anti-cancer properties. This hemp extract is legal in the state of Utah and is available for purchase from authorized local retailers, in case you were wondering from where to buy cbd oil in Vancouver Washington.
Recent developments
Dr. Sanjay Gupta is of the opinion that we are living in a time of revolution and it can be seen everywhere. For the first time, 53% of Americans have come out in favor of marijuana legalization, with as much as 77% people supporting legalization for medical purposes. These figures are in stark contrast to the first time when the question of legalization was raised.
In 1969, Pew's survey concluded that only 12% of the entire nation was in favor of marijuana legalization. Richard Richardson, who is the CEO of a company called Dose of Nature (a company that sells help oil), says that they get calls from cancer, PTSD, autism patients all the time because research has shown that CBD is effective.
Richard's company sells oil to direct consumers and distributes to local retailers. Utah House Bill 58 that was passed in the 2016 legislative session ruled that only residents who have epilepsy can get a license to obtain hemp oil. However, the import of CBD-rich oil has always been legal since 2004 when it got an exemption from the Controlled Substance Act.
How to buy cbd oil in Vancouver Washington?
After years of activism and legalization drive movements, CBD-rich oils have finally become available in North America. Now, all you have to do to buy cbd oil in Vancouver Washington is the read the review below and buy.

text: Ethanol's Dark Livestock Legacy March 1, 2011 06:37 AM Tweet Nearly 40% of the nation's 12.5-billion-bushel corn crop this season will make its way to ethanol production. © Andrew Burchett TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email What's the biofuel doing to your feed costs? No matter how Jim Boyle pencils out his feed costs, he can't find a way to escape the impact of high corn prices on his three Arizona dairies. Bonus Content FAPRI Ethanol Policies Report How It Is in Florida Ethanol Moves Ahead Flaked corn to feed his milking string has risen to $280 per ton, up sharply from $180 in 2007. Dried distillers' grains with solubles (DDGS), which account for about 10% of his herd's rations, have jumped to $240 per ton, more than double what they were five years ago. Even local barley, which he sometimes substitutes for corn, isn't a great deal at only $7 to $8 per ton less than flaked corn. "Corn sets the price of everything," says Boyle, who milks 5,500 cows near Mesa and Casa Grande. "It's had a massive impact on our feed prices. Before, even when there was a bad corn crop, we could expect the corn price to be $2.50 per bushel." But those days are long gone, now that corn has hit $7 per bushel. Like many dairy producers, Boyle and California's Peter de Jong blame their escalating feed costs not just on corn's upward price leap but more specifically on the influence of corn-based ethanol. Peter de Jong has cut his corn purchases by half for the 15,000 cows he milks near Hanford, Calif. (Photo: Catherine Merlo) "Corn prices have been artificially inflated by ethanol's subsidies, tariffs and mandates, and the help the government gave to build ethanol plants," says de Jong, whose family business, Hollandia Farms, operates three dairies near Hanford, Calif. "Our costs are up $2.50 per cwt. this year, and that's largely due to ethanol," he says. Hollandia Farms, which milks 15,000 cows, has increased its DDGS amounts from 4 lb. to 7 lb. per cow per day. But the ethanol byproduct isn't the ideal feed, de Jong says, since DDGS provide no starch and their high sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus levels limit their use. While de Jong's feed costs are up 60%, his fuel, land, water, fertilizer and labor expenses have also risen. "That can all be traced to corn, oil and the weaker dollar," he says. Nearly 40% of the nation's 12.5-billion-bushel corn crop this season will make its way to ethanol production, up from just 14% in 2005. Nearly 5 billion bushels of corn will be used to produce about 15 billion gallons of ethanol. Ethanol demand for gasoline use is dramatically boosting competition for the yellow-eared crop, affecting costs for food, livestock feed, land and more. "There is a cause and effect of high corn prices and feed costs, and it's coming from ethanol," says Normand St-Pierre, a professor and Extension dairy specialist at The Ohio State University. "Ethanol demand has a significant impact on corn prices and everything else. You cannot yank 40% of the corn production in a country that produces about 40% of the total world corn supply without having a substantial impact on the grain and feed markets." Dairy feed costs spiked 60% from August 2006—not long after the ethanol boom hit—to December 2010, St-Pierre says. Total feed cost in that four-year span averaged $7.35 per cwt., compared to $4.60 per cwt. from January 2005 to July 2006. (These figures are for lactating cows only.) Since 2007, flaked corn (right) has jumped $100 per ton, and dried distillers' grain prices have more than doubled. (Photo: Catherine Merlo) "The difference is even greater when the additional cost of feeding dry cows and replacement heifers is accounted for," St-Pierre says. "Producers used to say that feed costs represented 35% of their milk checks," he adds. "Now they would be happy if those were even at 50%." The break-even cost of production for dairies nationwide has risen from $13 per cwt. to $17 per cwt., he adds. Five years ago, Arizona's Boyle would have been "terrifically happy" with the milk prices he's recently received: $17 per cwt. in December; $16.50 per cwt. in January. "Now, we're not even breaking even," he says. "Ethanol has added $2 per bushel to corn prices." Ethanol's impact has radiated beyond corn costs, St-Pierre says. As more land goes into corn production, competition builds for other acreage, driving up prices for soybeans, wheat, alfalfa hay and other forages. Cotton's dramatic price increase makes it another rival for farm plantings. "The cost of renting and leasing land has gone up because of that competition," St-Pierre says. "Lease rates have almost doubled in the last five years." Ten years ago, Ohio farmland was priced at $2,000 to $2,200 an acre, he says. The same land now costs $3,500 an acre. With corn reserves at their lowest levels in 15 years and demand expected to remain strong, St-Pierre says the nation will be "scraping the bottom of the barrel" for supplies this year. "We'll need a record crop to balance supply and demand for corn and soybeans," he says. "The U.S. produces 40% of the world's corn. If anything goes wrong—rain, drought, heat—brace yourself. We could see $10 corn." What's the answer to the ethanol-feed cost problem? De Jong and Boyle believe that ethanol incentives, which Congress extended in December, favor the nation's corn growers at the expense of livestock producers. Those incentives include tax credits for blenders; tariffs on ethanol imports from most countries; and the Renewable Fuels Standard, which mandates minimum levels of biofuels use. "The entire package of subsidies that ethanol and corn growers receive is ridiculous," Boyle says. "You can't find a more subsidized industry in the U.S. I'm not in favor of subsidies for dairies either. All that needs to be thrown out the window." Legislative amendments that seek to block the expanded use of E15 (gasoline that uses up to 15% ethanol) and to limit the amount of ethanol incentives have been offered by Republicans, who are looking hard at budget cuts. Whether these amendments pass remains to be seen. De Jong says more drilling for oil would help lessen the need for fuel alternatives like ethanol. Ohio State's St-Pierre believes margin protection is the best cure for dairies for now. "Try to lock in a margin," he advises, "and don't look at milk as separate from feed." Unpeeling Ethanol's Influence Back in 2009, Scott Brown, associate director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), could say with some certainty that eliminating all of ethanol's biofuels policies would lower corn's price by 53¢ per bushel. But calculating ethanol's role in the price of corn isn't so clear in 2011. Several changes have occurred to alter Brown's analysis, starting with corn's dramatic price jump. In 2009, he calculated that if corn was at $4.04 per bushel, you could subtract 53¢ per bushel as ethanol's portion if there were no Renewable Fuels Standard, credits or tariffs. But today, Brown says an across-the-board assumption based on his 2009 research would not be valid, even with the knowledge that ethanol's incentives were recently extended and corn has leaped to $7 per bushel. "Getting rid of the ethanol policies wouldn't lower corn prices to levels we would have seen before the run-up around 2005 when ethanol became a major corn user," Brown says. In 2005, corn averaged $2 per bushel and U.S. ethanol production consumed 1.6 billion bushels. In 2011, with corn expected to average $5.32 per bushel for the season, ethanol use will reach 4.9 billion bushels. "Yes, ethanol has had an effect on corn prices," Brown says. "The biofuels infrastructure would likely be different today had we not had these policies. But energy and demand for corn outside the U.S. are also factors in driving corn prices higher." In 2005, national corn prices averaged $2 per bushel and the U.S. exported 2.1 billion bushels, Brown says. For the 2010/11 crop year, with a seasonal average of $5.32 per bushel, U.S. corn exports are projected at 1.95 billion bushels. "So we've more than doubled corn prices and exports have barely fallen," Brown says. "Something is shifting the demand for exports." While Japan is the largest customer for U.S. corn, China could emerge as a major U.S. corn buyer as it channels purchases to its rapidly growing livestock sector. Drought in other parts of the world, including Russia and Eastern Europe, has bolstered grain prices. Moreover, oil prices are key. "Tell me where crude oil is going," Brown says. "If it gets to $100 per barrel, that's certainly an incentive to turn more corn into ethanol, regardless of biofuel policy. If you believe crude oil will go lower, then the ethanol policies matter a lot more." Brown, who has taken heat from people on both sides of the ethanol issue, says pinpointing the biofuel's true impact on corn prices isn't easy. "You can't say that corn prices are where they are because of ethanol," he says. "But you can't say that ethanol hasn't had an impact either. The answer lies somewhere in between." Back to news

Restart Within Hudson
Configuration changes that require Hudson restart to take effect should provide a
Restart link or button.
Unfortunately, the CLI restart or soft-restart methods, which call
Hidson.restart and
Hudson.safeRestart, respectively, don't handle many of the necessary use cases by default. A Hudson restart link based on these methods would too often fail. It is one thing to leave an opening for plugins to implement, but quite another to depend on the kindness of plugins for basic Hudson operations. The default Lifecycle implementation needs to be in some sense universal, even if it requires the cooperation of system administrators.
In the following, "correct restart" means restart specifically tailored to the environment in which the Hudson instance is running. "System administrator" is a person who provisions and deploys the Hudson instance. "Hudson admin" is a person with admin privileges in Hudson. Sometimes these are the same people; sometimes not.
- The current Lifecycle API must be preserved, for compatibility with existing plugin extensions. The new default mechanism will only be invoked if the
hudson.lifecyclesystem property is not specified.
- It must be possible for a system administrator to preconfigure Hudson for correct restart. This is particularly important for "no-admin" uses of Hudson.
- Restart must require Hudson admin privileges (ACL.SYSTEM).
Design Approach
Two design approaches are being actively pursued.
The first, Restart Command, allows a system administrator to specify a command or provide a script during Hudson startup. This is most suited to Hudson running in containers like Tomcat, etc. which provide easy application restart from the command line. The second, Soft Restart, is more general and more likely to cause problems; it involves re-invoking a subset of the startup sequence to create new instances of Hudson classes, plugins, etc. rooted in a different classloader.
Restart Command
Correct restart is a multi-dimensional problem, different for each OS, service implementation and container (Tomcat, Jetty, GlassFish, etc.). The Lifecycle extension point is not well suited for multi-dimensional invocation, e.g., the OS is X AND the container is Y and (the container does not support single application restart OR the application name/war file location in the container is Z). While certain tricks, like replacing the Hudson WAR file, work to restart the application in many containers, to cover all the possibilites, Lifecycle would need an extension for every possible combination.
Yet, every system administrator already knows or can easily discover a command or script to restart any running Hudson instance. The best and most likely to be correct restart mechanism would leverage those commands/scripts and not try to replace it with Java code. The feature described below provides a generic Lifecycle that does.
Two new ways are provided for the system administrator to configure correct restart:
- by providing a
hudson-restartfile in the $HUDSON_HOME provisioned for the Hudson instance and
- by specifying a restart command on the command line when Hudson is invoked.
In a nutshell, restart within Hudson will invoke a system administrator--supplied command.
Since the command is presumed to restart Hudson, it may not return at all. If it does return, it is expected to return successfully. If the restart command fails, restart will fail.
If the restart command is not specified, the existing default Lifecycle mechanism will be invoked.
If the
hudson.lifecycle system property is specified, the restart command, if any, will not be used.
Default Restart Script
To allow system administrators to pre-configure Hudson for correct restart, if a restart script is present in HUDSON_HOME the initial value of the restart command will be set to invoke the script. The script must be named
The script or program may have an extension, e.g.,
.bat on Windows or
.py, etc. on Unix, but it doesn't matter what it is; in all cases, it will be invoked as a program.
The script must be executable.
The script should be specific to the environment in which the HUDSON_HOME is used.
Restart Option
Even if a restart script is present in HUDSON_HOME, a Hudson admin may change the restart command to do something else, effectively ignoring the script. This may be overridden by the command line switch:
The value of the
restartCommand option will be used to initialize the restart command. The correct order of initialization is:
- If
--restartCommandis specified, use that.
- Otherwise, if a restart script is present, use a command that invokes the script.
- Otherwise, the restart command is not specified.
Restart Links or Buttons
Restart links should not be shown unless
Lifecycle.get().canRestart() returns
true. Otherwise, a message like "Restart required for changes to take effect" should be displayed.
A restart link should show the single word Restart and should call
Plugin Manager
The Plugin Manager will show a restart link if a) a plugin is updated or a plugin is loaded that requires restart, and b) if
Lifecycle.get().canRestart() returns

Last Hurrah: Band of Brothers' regiment returns to Fort Campbell from last deployment
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Soldiers with a regiment whose roots trace to World War II's fabled "Band of Brothers" are set to return from their final deployment to Afghanistan.
The 140 soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, known as the "Currahees," with the 101st Airborne Division are due back at Fort Campbell, Ky., at 5:55 p.m. CDT Wednesday.
The Currahees are one of 10 brigade combat teams set for decommissioning by the Army. The Army announced on Monday that the shutdown process for those teams would speed up to 2015 instead of 2017 because of budget cuts.
No date has been set for the closure of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which became famous in a book by historian Stephen Ambrose and an HBO miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

NEW YORK -- Crunch Fitness has promoted Keith Worts from chief operating officer to president.
Worts will oversee the New York-based company's 21 U.S. clubs. He will focus on developing new corporate and franchise clubs and continue to grow the profitability of existing clubs, according to the company.
"I couldn't be happier to continue working alongside the knowledgeable and innovative team here at Crunch," Worts said in a statement. "I intend to take Crunch to the next level by 2012."
Before joining Crunch, Worts started his career at The Fitness Co. as a general manager before becoming its Northeast regional vice president, overseeing 14 fitness centers in five states with revenues of more than $19 million. Worts then moved to Spa Capital in 2002, serving as vice president of operations. There, he managed retail, service and training departments for 21 day spas in 13 states. Worts then joined Crunch in 2006, directing all aspects of operations, including sales, personal training and brand development.
"Keith's extensive background with the brand makes him the perfect fit, as he brings an understanding of what sets Crunch apart from other health club chains," Crunch CEO Jim Rowley said in a statement. "Keith is a dynamic leader, and I am confident he is the perfect person to lead Crunch in this exciting new period of growth and success."
Crunch is operated by Lafayette, CA-based New Evolution Ventures (NEV), formerly known as New Evolution Fitness Co., co-founded by Rowley and Mark Mastrov.
Mastrov says NEV will not fill the COO position. He also says the company is grooming Worts to one day take over Rowley's role as Crunch CEO.
"He's a very sharp kid, good operator, a lot of experience, and we've enjoyed our working relationship with him since we acquired the business," Mastrov says of Worts. "Jim will stay on as CEO and continue to mentor Keith. They've been a good dynamic duo there working at Crunch."

BRISTOL — Three candidates will vie for two seats on the Bristol selectboard in Town Meeting Day voting on March 6.
While current selectboard Chair Joel Bouvier is running uncontested for his second three-year term, incumbent Sharon Compagna, running for her a two-year term, will face competition from Tim Heffernan.
Compagna has been on the board since 2007, when she was appointed to take the spot of her husband, Armand, who died that year. She won election to that seat on Town Meeting Day that year, and again in 2008 and 2010
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen recently approved a city warning for March 6 balloting that includes articles that, if approved, would change the number of signatures petitioners would need to challenge elections, increase the base amount of money in a fund that supports recreation programs, and no longer require city officials to mail an annual report to all addresses.
Those topics are also warned for discussion at the annual city meeting on March 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Vergennes Opera House.
MIDDLEBURY — The search for a new Addison Central Supervisory Union superintendent will kick into high gear this week, as a screening committee this Thursday will identify applicants it deems worthy for interviews in anticipation of recommending two or three finalists to the ACSU board next month.
It's a process expected to culminate in the ACSU board's selection of a new superintendent on March 14, after the finalists have toured district schools and met with local students, parents, teachers and administrators.

MIDDLEBURY — A bout of gastroenteritis, commonly known as stomach flu, has swept through Middlebury College and the surrounding community over the past two weeks.
Students were first advised about the flu in an email to all students, faculty and staff on Jan. 22.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union has hired a new business manager, a move officials hope will stabilize a position that has seen a lot of turnover during the past year and a half.
Gail Conley, ACSU interim superintendent, confirmed the hiring of Laura Nassau, who most recently served as business manager of the Chittenden East Supervisory Union (CESU) in Richmond. She has served in that capacity since 2002.
MIDDLEBURY — After a few competitive, but ultimately unsuccessful, games against the top teams in Division II, the Middlebury Union High School girls' hockey team on Friday out-skated winless Montpelier and earned a 7-0 victory — their third win in nine 2012 outings. The Tigers have gone 3-5-1 since Jan. 1.
In improving to 5-8-2, the Tigers outshot the Solons, 60-4, and got two goals apiece from seniors Heather and Maria Ploof and freshman Angela Carone.

This is a repost of a post found on American Kabuki. It illustrates the fact that the "mass arrests" is still an ongoing process.
Italian Arrest: Former economic development minister Claudio Scajola
Italian police arrest ex-Finmeccanica exec, investigate former minister for alleged corruption
By: Colleen Barry, The Associated Press
Posted: 10/23/2012 8:14 AMMILAN - Italian prosecutors are investigating a former Cabinet minister and have ordered the arrest of a former sales manager for Finmeccanica as part of a corruption investigation into the state-controlled aerospace and engineering giant's international dealings.
Former economic development minister Claudio Scajola is under investigation for alleged corruption in connection with Finmeccanica contracts in Brazil for the supply of Naval frigates, Italian media reported Tuesday.
Scajola, who resigned from former premier Silvio Berlusconi's last government in a private housing scandal, denied any wrongdoing.
"I always carried out the duties of economic development minister, which took me around the world, in full respect of the laws and rules," Scajola told TG 24 Italian television. "I never had private meetings. I am not worried, and I don't know what is behind this, but I am available to the prosecutors if they want to hear what I have to say."
Finmeccanica has previously denied having paid or promised kickbacks of any kind to any intermediary or the government of Panama.
Pozzessere resigned from his position last September, saying that he was stepping down to protect the company's reputation and denying any involvement in illegal activities. He remains an adviser to the company on Russia.
Finmeccanica, which has been the subject of a series of corruption probes that saw a chairman and former CEO resign under government pressure last December, had no comment on the development. The company is 30 per cent owned by the Italian government, which was coming under heat for not commenting on the developments involving Finmeccanica's international dealings.
Separately, the company's former Chairman and CEO Pier Francesco Guarguaglini and his wife are suspected of being involved in a scheme in which false invoices were used to evade taxes and set up a €2 million ($2.7 million) slush fund to pay off political go-betweens. Both have denied wrongdoing.
Finmeccanica is a global player in defence and aeronautics that employs more than 75,000 people worldwide and focuses on designing and manufacturing helicopters, civil and military aircraft, satellites, space infrastructure, missiles and defence electronics.

Six Common Myths of Federal Job Hunting
Most federal job seekers spend a majority of their time hunting for positions online, using websites such as USAJOBS.
Shannon Kelly & Dan DeMaio | Monster.com
Myth 3: "The Feds Can Translate My Private Sector Resume into Their Format"
The federal government requires a lot of information not typical to the private sector. For example, job seekers must provide their social security number when applying for jobs. Job announcements also may call for you to provide your country of citizenship, exact number of hours worked per week at previous jobs, and the name and phone number of your most recent supervisor.
Rather than trying to edit the resume you already use to apply to private sector jobs, it's probably a good idea to create a resume specifically for the federal agency you apply to. From this point, you can simply adjust the resume to best match the specific positions you apply to.
If you already have a Military resume, it may be easier for you to transition your resume into a version which is suitable for government job applications.

Bale never considered Spurs exit
Gareth Bale insists the thought of leaving Tottenham never crossed his mind this summer.
Many had predicted that the 23-year-old would follow Luka Modric and Harry Redknapp out of White Hart Lane this summer, but the Welshman committed himself to Tottenham by signing a new four-year contract in June.
When asked if he considered leaving the north London club after the end of last season, the winger said: "No. I've always been focused on my game, playing football, and I'm enjoying myself here at the moment so there's no reason to go anywhere."
Barcelona scouted Bale last season and he has also been heavily linked to a number of Europe's top clubs like Real Madrid.
But Bale added: "I'm enjoying my football, we've got a great squad now and hopefully next season we can get Champions League football, where we should be."
Bale was in an optimistic mood as he reflected on Tottenham's 3-1 over Reading - their first under new manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Two weeks ago the team were booed off after putting in a drab performance in their 1-1 draw against Norwich but Bale thinks good times lie ahead for Spurs under Villas-Boas.
Bale believes last week's move to Tottenham's new state of the art training complex has instilled a new-found sense of belief within the squad that can help the team go on the type of run which pushed them towards the top of the table in the first half of last season.
"We didn't have a great start last year and we were in a similar position this year," Bale said. "We went on a run last season and there's no reason why we can't do it this year.
"It feels like a new club at the moment with the new training ground. It has excited everybody, and has brought everybody up again."

Excellent Army In 221 B.C.The Terracotta Army is one of the top attractions in China. It is significant because the hundreds of detailed life-size models represent the army that triumphed over all other Chinese armies in the Warring States Period, and who ushered in the united imperial China era 2,200 years ago.
It is considered one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, and one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century.
In March 1974, a group of peasants digging a well in drought-parched Shaanxi province in northwest China unearthed fragments of a clay figure—the first evidence of what would turn out to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of modern times. Near the unexcavated tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi—who had proclaimed himself first emperor of China in 221 B.C.—lay an extraordinary underground treasure: an entire army of life-size terra cotta soldiers and horses, interred for more than 2,000 years
The site, where Qin Shi Huangdi's ancient capital of Xianyang once stood, lies a half-hour drive from traffic-clogged Xi'an (pop. 8.5 million). It is a dry, scrubby land planted in persimmon and pomegranate—bitterly cold in winter and scorching hot in summer—marked by dun-colored hills pocked with caves. But hotels and a roadside souvenir emporium selling five-foot-tall pottery figures suggest that something other than fruit cultivation is going on here.
Over the past 35 years, archaeologists have located some 600 pits, a complex of underground vaults as yet largely unexcavated, across a 22-square-mile area. Some are hard to get to, but three major pits are easily accessible, enclosed inside the four-acre Museum of the Terracotta Army, constructed around the discovery site and opened in 1979. In one pit, long columns of warriors, reassembled from broken pieces, stand in formation.With their topknots or caps, their tunics or armored vests, their goatees or close-cropped beards, the soldiers exhibit an astonishing individuality. A second pit inside the museum demonstrates how they appeared when they were found: some stand upright, buried to their shoulders in soil, while others lie toppled on their backs, alongside fallen and cracked clay horses. The site ranks with the Great Wall and Beijing's Forbidden City as one of the premier tourist attractions within China.
For those unable to make the journey to Xi'an, some of the choicest specimens unearthed there form the centerpiece of two successive traveling exhibitions that survey the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi (221 B.C.-210 B.C.). "The First Emperor," organized by the British Museum, debuted in London before moving to the High Museum in Atlanta. A second show, "Terra Cotta Warriors," then opened at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California. It is now at the Houston Museum of Natural Science through October 18, and then moves to the National Geographic Society Museum in Washington, D.C. for display from November 19 to March 31, 2010.
In addition to showcasing recent finds, the exhibitions feature the largest collection of terra cotta figures ever to leave China. The statuary includes nine soldiers arranged in battle formation (armored officers, infantrymen, and standing and kneeling archers), as well as a terra cotta horse. Another highlight is a pair of intricately detailed, ten-foot-long bronze chariots, each drawn by four bronze horses. (Too fragile to be transported, the chariots are represented by replicas.) The artifacts offer a glimpse of the treasures that attract visitors from around the world to the Xi'an museum site, where 1,900 of an estimated 7,000 warriors have been disinterred so far.
The stupendous find at first seemed to reinforce conventional thinking—that the first emperor had been a relentless warmonger who cared only for military might. As archaeologists have learned during the past decade, however, that assessment was incomplete. Qin Shi Huangdi may have conquered China with his army, but he held it together with a civil administration system that endured for centuries. Among other accomplishments, the emperor standardized weights and measures and introduced a uniform writing script.
Recent digs have revealed that in addition to the clay soldiers, Qin Shi Huangdi's underground realm, presumably a facsimile of the court that surrounded him during his lifetime, is also populated by delightfully realistic waterfowl, crafted from bronze and serenaded by terra cotta musicians. The emperor's clay retinue includes terra cotta officials and even troupes of acrobats, slightly smaller than the soldiers but created with the same methods. "We find the underground pits are an imitation of the real organization in the Qin dynasty," says Duan Qingbo, head of the excavation team at the Shaanxi Provincial Research Institute for Archaeology. "People thought when the emperor died, he took just a lot of pottery army soldiers with him. Now they realize he took a whole political system with him."
Qin Shi Huangdi decreed a mass-production approach; artisans turned out figures almost like cars on an assembly line. Clay, unlike bronze, lends itself to quick and cheap fabrication. Workers built bodies, then customized them with heads, hats, shoes, mustaches, ears and so on, made in small molds. Some of the figures appear so strikingly individual they seem modeled on real people, though that is unlikely. "These probably weren't portraits in the Western sense," says Hiromi Kinoshita, who helped curate the exhibition at the British Museum. Instead, they may have been aggregate portraits: the ceramicists, says Kinoshita, "could have been told that you need to represent all the different types of people who come from different regions of China."

I like Dwight.
There, I said it. He's fun. He's goofy. He smiles. He's engaging. He talks to you in the locker room before games, about lots of stuff, when most "stars" are buried in their Beats or iPads or simply avoiding the 45-minute open locker room period as if it's Matt Bonner coming for a bear hug.
And maybe those are all the things about Dwight Howard that so drive Kobe Bryant nuts.
But I like Dwight.
I've stood in line to dog pile him. Did it Sunday after his needlessly contradictory series-ending postgame media session. His ejection barely more than two minutes into the third quarter of the final game of the Lakers' awful season earned him yet another Twitter-lashing from the greatest Laker of all, legend-turned-critical-analyst Magic Johnson.
Even before then I had ridiculed Howard for chronic indecisiveness, chided him for selfishness and criticized him for the overall insidiously poor manner in which he's handled his contract business.
But dang it, I still like Dwight.
So I'm placing my faith in him now. I believe he will re-sign with L.A., giving him a five-year, $118-million exemption from further free-agent discussion and decisions that obviously fill his head with anxiety and self-consuming guilt.
"I just don't want any pressure from anybody," Howard told reporters Tuesday during the Lakers' end-of-season interviews. "[General manager] Mitch [Kupchak] said he's not going to pressure me. He's going to let me make that decision and we're in a good place."
And that's how I believe this ongoing drama, "The Dwightmare," started: I doubt he ever listened to himself. Instead he allowed a thousand intervening voices promoting self-serving interests, whispering big market or endorsement deals or global reach or whatever else, to swirl in his noggin like piranhas in a fish bowl.
Just my opinion, but as the process slogged on, I don't think Dwight ever fully embraced his own desires other than yearning to make everybody happy, of which only brought about the counter-result of being universally vilified, a la LeBron James after the Decision.
Through the self-inflicted surreal twists and turns of his final season with Orlando and his first unfathomably incongruous season with L.A., I believe Dwight lost connection to his own identity. What happened to the 23-year-old, fifth-year center who carried the Magic to the NBA Finals — one more than Chris Paul's played in — and, like Superman, believed he was capable of leaping anything?
The process took a heavy psychological toll heaped on top of the later physical limitations of his back. With his image in tatters, fans everywhere turned on him. And now, after one failed season in Lakerland, home of champions Wilt and Kareem and Shaq, they're saying good riddance to him.
By all accounts, including his own, Dwight could have sat out until December or even the All-Star break to properly rehab his surgically repaired back. But he wanted to play for his new team with championship aspirations on Day 1. Wisely or not, he did.
Yet when he didn't possess his usual explosiveness, it wasn't Dwight's back that came into question, but his body language.
Then the labrum in his right shoulder tore in early January. He downplayed its severity at first and when he sat out a couple games to rest it he got crushed by every living legend now on TV telling him to play through the pain for the good of the team. Even Kobe offered such an opinion and later tried to retract it.
Of course, Dwight was already playing through pain, or at least discomfort. He underwent back surgery in late April 2012 and played on Halloween. Dwight had never missed more than three games in any season until his back last year forced him to miss 12. Steve Nash struggled with multiple injuries and played in just 50 games, but was spared the rip jobs. Chicago's Derrick Rose hasn't played all season.
"Knowing that I wasn't in great shape, my body wasn't all the way there yet, but I wanted to do whatever I could to help this team win," Dwight said on March 5 before a game at Oklahoma City. "And you know, sometimes I have gotten beat up for it, but that's fine. I took all those hits and I keep moving."
And the hits keep coming. After Sunday's Game 4, formidable L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke offered the opinion that the Lakers and Dwight — who still averaged 17.1 ppg, a league-best 12.4 rpg, and fifth-best 2.45 bpg — should agree to walk away. He wrote that Dwight had proven over the season and in particular that very game that he is not a leader, at least not one of Laker ilk, and not one worth the heavy financial commitment.
But remove the raw emotion from this disappointing season, the depths of which run far beyond Dwight, and think about this: Dwight will enter training camp in October with a strong back, a healthy shoulder and reinforced maturity. He will be of clear mind and conscious.
The 6-foot-11, 265-pounder is L.A.'s best hope for the days beyond Kobe. Basketball will again be Dwight's driving force, the distractions of the last two seasons drowned in the Pacific. He will rediscover himself and reassert himself as the league's most dominant big man in his upcoming 10th season, just as he turns 28, just as he enters the prime of his career.
Going out on a limb? What can I say, I like Dwight.

ACT IMMEDIATELY if you believe that your child is missing.
After you have reported your child missing to local law enforcement, you may call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children toll free at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
Four Important Child Safety Tips
1. Children should be on the lookout for situations or actions that make them feel uncomfortable, rather than certain kinds of people. "Stay away from strangers" is a popular warning used to prevent child abductions and exploitation, however, many children are harmed by "acquaintances."
2. If someone tries to take you somewhere, quickly get away from them and yell: "someone is trying to take me away!" Say "no", then go and tell.
3. If someone follows you on foot or in a car, run to a "safe place." A safe place is where there are other people around. For example: a neighbor or friends home or a store. Do not go to a wooded area or unoccupied building.
4. Parents should always carry pictures of their children (taken within six months) and take time every day to make a mental note of what they are wearing.

A blocked field goal and a fourth-and-goal stand highlighted a strong defensive second half for the Central College football team Saturday afternoon, as the Dutch closed out the season with a 37-14 victory at Simpson College.
Early on, it looked like Central would run away with the game, as the Dutch jumped out to a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter. The Storm bounced back, though, scoring on a pair of fast-moving drives late in the quarter to pull the game to just 21-14 in favor of Central at halftime.
After stalling out on their opening drive of the third quarter, Central's defense found themselves inside their own ten yard line with Simpson threatening to score. The Storm were forced to settle for a field goal, which was blocked to give Central back the football. Just minutes later, Simpson was back inside the Central ten, this time electing to go for the score on fourth-down-and goal. Freshman cornerback Spencer Boeyink batted down a pass in the end zone to end the threat, while Central's offense responded with two more touchdowns and a field goal in the second half to put the game away.
Senior quarterback Nate Snead finished his storied career at Central with 188 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 19 carries; and completed 12-of-17 passes for 180 yards and another score to lead the Dutch. All of the touchdowns came from the Central backfield, as Ross Doerhmann and Josh Osborn each rushed for a score and Preston West caught a touchdown pass to round out the scoring. Linebacker Keith Rush led the Central defense with nine tackles and a sack.
The win over Simpson puts Central in a tie with Wartburg and Coe for second place in the Iowa Conference, with a 6-2 league record. Central finishes at 7-3 overall.

COTTAGE LAKE, Wash. (CBS Seattle) – A Kings County Sheriff's deputy has been put on administrative leave after being accused of shooting at a developmentally disabled man who was holding a toy gun.
The Seattle Times reports police got multiple calls about a man waving a gun at passing vehicles.
"The first deputy arrived minutes later and the man ignored her commands. When the man pulled the handgun from his waistband and raised it, the deputy fired about 25 yards away," Deputy Charlie Akers told the paper. "The man dropped to the ground and other deputies moved in to handcuff him."
That's when authorities discovered that the gun was a Lego toy.
"While on the ground, he made a movement to grab the gun and they just jumped on him. At that point, they slid the gun away from him and discovered it was made out of Legos," Akers told The Seattle Times.
The man, who police have had encounters with before, is a resident at a nearby group home and "has a fascination with guns."
An employee of the home told police they have a strict policy for its employees "not to go hands-on with potentially dangerous residents."
According to the paper, the man was taken into custody and involuntarily committed for a mental-health evaluation.
"Because of his mental capacity, my guess is he will not be charged with anything." Akers told the paper. "Obviously it could have been a lot worse but fortunately he wasn't hurt."
King County authorities tell CBS Seattle that the incident is still under investigation.

So I had the last third of the bottle of brown rice syrup left and needed to find something to do with it. Not really knowing anything about cooking with it, and too lazy to look anything up, I decided just to modify my Sticky Bar recipe and see what I could throw together.
Chocolate Cranberry Almond No-Bake Granola Bars
- 1.5 cups whole oats
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped and toasted almonds
- 2 x 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup ground flax
- big sprinkle cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- 1 tsp butter
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- coarsely chop almonds. toast on a baking sheet in oven until fragrant and toasty.
- heat syrup and butter in small sauce pan over medium-heat until bubbling. stir frequently and let boil for a couple of minutes.
- while waiting for syrup to bubble, mix all dry ingredients (except for second 1/4 cup of choco chips) in a big mixing bowl.
- once syrup has boiled for a few minutes, stir into dry ingredients.
- press mixture firmly into greased (sprayed) small square cake pan. sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, press firmly again.
- put pan in freezer until totally chilled and firm. pop entire thing onto cutting board and cut into 12 pieces with big knife. store in refrigerator.
Yummy for the tummy!!
