Dwarf Pear tree
Do I need 2 trees to bear fruit?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Pear trees vary in whether they are self-pollinating or require a second variety for cross-pollination. "Unless you purchase a tree with two compatible varieties grafted onto a single rootstock, you will need to plant two different, compatible types of pear in order to obtain any fruit. Check with the nursery where you purchased your tree or your local extension office to ensure that the trees you select can pollinate each other."

(Part VII in a series of posts that will soon take us to a highly contagious and dangerously inaccurate meme about what autism is.)
In my previous posts, I've made the following points:
–How much language you acquire, including how much language you comprehend, is correlated with how much attention you've paid, over the years, to other people's speech and to what they are looking at and doing when speaking.
–Deficits in these attention behaviors, which are examples of what's called Joint Attention, are among the core symptoms of autism. (If you don't have deficits here, the diagnosis doesn't apply).
–Therefore, the ability to acquire language and understand what other people saying is correlated with the severity of autism.
What all this means is that, if you understand most of the spoken or written language that surrounds you–from concrete labels to sophisticated psychological vocabulary; from simple, direct statements to jokes, innuendos, and other forms of figurative language–then, assuming you're on the autism spectrum at all, you're way far out on the mild end of it.
Now, as I discussed earlier, you might have a person who looks severely autistic even if they can do all these things. But the reason they look severely autistic isn't because their autism is severe, but because they face additional challenges that limit their ability to actually produce language–to produce their own phrases, sentences, psychological vocabulary, jokes, innuendos, and figurative turns of phrase.
The most common culprit, as I noted, is apraxia of speech. Speech apraxia can severely limit one's ability to produce spoken words. But it doesn't affect writing and typing. I've witnessed a number of individuals on the autism spectrum who barely speak–if they speak at all–but can still produce phrases and sentences through independent typing.
(Most of these kids are still severely autistic–their joint attention behaviors are limited, and when they type they produce only a limited range of phrases, sentences, and vocabulary–but their comprehension skills are still significantly ahead of their oral skills).
However, as I noted earlier, it's theoretically possible for there to be additional motor-control or body-awareness difficulties that prevent a person from producing written language, even if she has long been regularly attending to speakers and understands a great deal of the language that surrounds her.
Such people–profoundly apraxic, profoundly motor-impaired, yet only mildly autistic–are probably extremely rare. But that doesn't diminish the tragedy of their situation: that of being full of language and thoughts but completely unable to communicate them. To the extent that we can help these "locked in" individuals, it's urgent we do so.
One way would be to devise some sort of physical assistance that eliminates the motor-control or body-awareness barriers to writing or typing. Perhaps if some sort of human facilitator were to provide such assistance, a profoundly apraxic, motor-impaired person would suddenly be able to communicate all the thoughts they've had locked up inside.
Such barrier-surmounting assistance is purported to exist already: it goes under the name of "facilitated communication." More on this anon.

Enabling CAP for two separate locations without additional Companies
In this post about enabling CAP for emergency notifications on RISE screens, there is the implication that one needs separate Companies for separate locations. At our school we have two campuses, but we are one school, and all the resources for both campuses need to be managed/shared by RISE admins on both campuses.
We use Ruvna for our real-time school crisis and emergency management and it is CAP-capable. Because our two campuses are separated by a mile or more, our state-mandated drills (fire, lockdowns, etc,) are completely separate 'entities' and should not interfere with each other. In other words, a fire-drill at one campus is not necessarily scheduled at the same time on the other campus, and RISE displays should not show alert messages on the campus not engaged in a drill.
If having separate Companies is necessary to handle two campuses, how do we bypass this restriction?
Is it possible?

Hi Derek!
At this time there is no way to have multiple Alert URLs per company. I agree that it would be useful to have multiple Alert URLs in a single company for scenarios where there are two separate campuses with separate events--I'll bring this up as feature request.
In the mean time, it would be necessary to separate each campus into their own companies in order to have two Alert URLs to post to.

Movie Review: 'Bridget Jones's Baby'
Director: Sharon Maguire
Cast: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, Emma Thompson
Plot: Turning 43 and still single, Bridget Jones is still trying to define her role in the world. After a music festival fling with a charming American, Jack, and an encounter with old flame Mark Bridget finds herself pregnant but unsure who the father is.
Review: Oh, bloody hell…how did I wind up here? I'm standing in a large crowd of women walking the pink carpet for the conclusion to a movie series I have no connection with. I didn't like the first films because…well, they're not for me. I'm a 30 something pasty male nerd. But there's free champagne so let's drink two (or eight) of those and go for it.
To divert for a moment, the first thing that jumps out is how different Zellweger looks. Now we're not stupid, we know that she'd aged over the almost decade since the last film and the tabloids have been making a big fuss over the work she's had or not had done. What makes this especially jarring though is that we'd just walked past giant movie posters where she looks nothing like she does in the movie. The poor woman has been airbrushed into a mannequin on the posters and she looks great in the film. Zellweger is an attractive woman playing a character who is turning 43, trying to pass her off as being in her 20s on the poster isn't going to make or break the film.
Anyway, we rejoin Jones at the funeral of Daniel where she is reunited with the married Mark Darcy. She sets out to enjoy her life regardless and meets Jack, an American who turns out to be Mr. Perfect. The conflict comes in that she doesn't know who the father of her child is, how to break the news to the two eager potential new fathers and feeling threatened by the new, modern thinking managers at work. The film takes shots at many new trends, most noticeably hipsters with beards and topknots. There's also some slightly out of date gags based on Pussy Riot and that cab driver who was accidentally interviewed.
All of these with enjoyably silly, but the real value is in the lead actors. Zellweger, Firth and Dempsey are all highly charismatic performers who wear their roles like gloves. They all have strong chemistry and solid comedic timing and you'll have to be a pretty dreary character not to laugh along with their mishaps and misunderstandings. We had plenty of fun with these people. We would have loved to see more of Emma Thompson who added some very welcome classic British humour. We all love Emma Thompson.
In order to get a proper read I did take a lady friend along to get a read on the intended audience reaction, and she certainly enjoyed it more than I did. Not to say that I didn't enjoy it, there were plenty of laughs to be had and it's got more value than most films in the genre. Solid work.

December is filled with light, the best of home-cooked meals and desserts, unwrapped treasures, cocktails, and busy social schedules. Each year, the end of the holidays approaches (I cry a bit that Christmas isn't for another 360 some days) and I look to January for a time of fresh starts and a life in the right lane for the winter months.
I never thought of myself as too much of a goal person (my fam and friends might disagree with that one), but I've found myself making resolutions for the last few years. I used to swear them off thinking they were silly to create just because a calendar filled a page. Now, I have a list as long as my arm. We have to aim for something, right?
I'll share a few of my resolutions for 2019, but I first want to share some recommendations and suggestions I used prior to writing mine down.
1. Money Talk
At 24, my mind is on experiences, savings, and the future. Some of my closest (and most successful) friends use a strict budget or old school envelope system to save their hard-earned cash. I set a savings goal for each money by quite literally transferring a lump sum from my direct deposit checkings account to my savings on pay day. Is saving on your mind for 2019? Keep it simple and shoot for a number you want to put in your savings every paycheck.
Not saving enough? Find a side hustle whether that be babysitting, freelance work from home, a coffee shop gig, or walking dogs. An extra revenue stream of income is one I have learned is worth every minute when financial planning.
2. Career
One of my favorite authors, podcasters, and influencers, Adam Grant, says we should change our 5-year-timeline thought process to where we want to be in a year – just 365 days. I'm in the process of discovering the next move for me by networking with 25 professionals in Philadelphia, almost all of whom are strangers to me! Get creative with a vision board, a list of must-haves, or create a spreadsheet with research for the future if you're not looking for a move right now.
3. Off the Clock
Volunteering is a big part of my life, but finding time to do so can seem daunting. Time is, after all, money! Before you volunteer, make sure it's a commitment you can really make, for an organization you share values with, and understand why you're doing it. I have found some of my most meaningful conversations and connections come from those I made during volunteering experiences.
4. The Body
Need I say more? Everyone is always looking to be healthier, look better, and feel better. I'm no expert on this matter, but I know setting reasonable and achievable goals for exercise will make for a happier you and a happier schedule!
5. The Mind
Our world is stressful and aiming to become a better version of yourself can be exhausting in itself. "Self care" is all the rage, but my friends and I have had long conversations about what that means. Self care isn't just a face mask, a manicure, or buying yourself that long-desired treat. Self care is identifying what's best for you. . . whether that's four workouts a week, a social media cleanse for a week, reading, family time, or whatever it takes to bring your mind peace. Me? I'm starting with a January social media and alcohol cleanse.
6. The Spirit
I put this on here because this is relevant to me in 2019. I think the spirit and mind are similar in identifying what makes you feel "whole". In our crazy world, I've let church and faith fall to the wayside. I'm hoping to get back into a religion routine (which makes it sound less meaningful than it really is).
7. Splurge
Now for the fun. . . and yes, I put this last! How much are you putting in your piggy bank for the perfect gift to yourself? I know I need a new car this year so my extra funding will go to the perfect set of wheels. And, I always try to fit in a beautiful handbag once a year. Who can blame me for that?!
My Resolutions
I'll try to circle back come 2020 (Yikes! Do you feel old, too?) on whether or not I achieved these goals!
- New career
- Less time on social media
- Read a book a month
- Graduate from Penn with my masters
- Say "no" more
- Launch The Talk About Town
- Lose weight
- Smile
- Travel
- Get my behind to church

Here is a tip to keep kiddo's safe on Youtube!
Add the word "quiet" in front of any youtube video's url, and you will be taken to a completely separate website with only the video you have chosen surrounded by white space – no comments, no related videos, nothing.
If I wanted my son to watch a video about odd and even numbers, I could take this url: youtube.com/watch?v=yVbR44yd24g and turn it into this: quietyoutube.com/watch?v=yVbR44yd24g
Pros: No comments or related videos shown in the sidebar
A way to keep the video from showing related videos at the end….
Add this to the end of your url: ?rel=0 So your url will go from this: youtube.com/watch?v=yVbR44yd24g to this: quietyoutube.com/watch?v=yVbR44yd24g%3Frel%3D0
You should have a completely white screen which plays the video and doesn't show anything else when it's done!

Ramble Tamble a five piece Melbourne band whose tribute to Creedence should be on every CCR fans wish list. It has been said that if you close your eyes you are listening to the original band and that has come about through hard work and the musical talents of the band members. Creedence Clearwater Revival were never just another band, their music and their sound was always very individual and never based on following what was hot today. Their music was classic and not simply contemporary and they have remained that way till today.
Tribute bands can try to recreate the sound or the look of an artist or band, however, the true test of a great tribute act is to inhabit their soul and deliver on stage the authenticity that goes far beyond a sound or look. This can only be achieved with passion, commitment and a true appreciation of the original act and Ramble Tamble have nailed it.
This authenticity is born from the respect and admiration of Creedence Clearwater Revival by the members of Ramble Tamble and the pride they take in achieving the real sound of CCR live on stage. No detail is too small when it comes to this show; it is a tribute in the true sense of the word, allowing the audience to remember CCR in the best possible way.

Update on a really old thread. There was just no option for me to change anything on the PLC side as mentioned before but figured out a workaround.
The problem was that the pump could not be started if the stop bit held the 1 (or stopped if the start bit held the 1) You can visibly see a stuck button if the bit held the 1. The same button could be pressed again to attempt to write a 0 at release.
But instead of explaining that process, I am having the momentary of the start write a 0 to the stop and the stop will write a 0 to the start. This ensures the end user uses the buttons as intended without having to worry about stuck button or held bits. Seems to work fine.
@phildunlap They are Modbus I/P. I don't see anything that happened to that device during that time that it was stuck (2/17 9:33pm.) but there are a lot of events. Most of them are "Exception from modbus master: socket closed, or Bad file descriptor (ioctl FIONREAD failed)
@phildunlap said in Momentary Button Bug?:
Hi sbaik,
What kind of point is it? To me, that sounds like the button release tried to set it back to 0, but there was perhaps a transport exception and so that write didn't make it to the device. If you have the write error events above 'Do not log' for the data source you would be able to find a record of the failure in the events.
@phildunlap Where do I set the write error events? I'm not seeing it in the data source or the points.
Here's the markup of the start stop for a pump. They are linked to image of a button. Picture attached. I could not replicate it, so I don't think it was Mango, but I wanted to double check.
<!--pump5 start--> <ma-get-point-value point="point" point-xid="PLC1_e5_start"></ma-get-point-value> <ma-switch-img id="76156244-402f-41ee-8327-b17d70fbcb94" style="position: absolute; left: 1349px; top: 535px; width: 80px; height: 80px;" src-false="/rest/v2/file-stores/default/Start.png" src-true="/rest/v2/file-stores/default/Start-depressed.png" ma-momentary="" ma-momentary-start="point.setValue(true)" ma-momentary-end="point.setValue(false)" point-xid="PLC1_e5_start"></ma-switch-img> <!--pump5 stop--> <ma-get-point-value point="point1" point-xid="PLC1_e5_stop"></ma-get-point-value> <ma-switch-img id="5260d0ff-65e1-4adb-9fe4-76ecb9b12fda" style="position: absolute; left: 1349px; top: 619px; width: 80px; height: 80px;" src-false="/rest/v2/file-stores/default/Stop.png" src-true="/rest/v2/file-stores/default/Stop-depressed.png" ma-momentary="" ma-momentary-start="point1.setValue(true)" ma-momentary-end="point1.setValue(false)" point-xid="PLC1_e5_stop"></ma-switch-img>
These have momentary button function where the point writes a 1 for the duration of the click, however long, and goes back to 0 when released. This was done with the help of this forum. We fixed bugs like if it was clicked, held, and dragged away and released, it still went back to 0.
Couple of the points shown in the picture of the history, you can see that it was set back to 0 after the momentary 1, then goes back to a 1 without indication that it was set by a user, and stays that way until I was notified and changed it back to a 0 using the detail page.
Any ideas? These are huge pumps (some of them 600hp) and these controls are critical...
I eventually found out what you meant by roll up. Points had default roll up which was none. Now all the trends charts work flawlessly. Just got done with the project and we have happy customers thanks to you guys.
The quick response to all questions and concerns is great.
Re: How to bulk-import event detectors?
Is this possible now?
Just got all the pages done, now need to start text/email alerts. I have done point by point on smaller sites, but this project has hundreds I need to add event detectors to.
Is there a way to sort all points being used in the custom page graphics?
In one of the instances of Mango, they had uploaded hundreds of points from multiple PLC's. I came into the project half way through and almost done with setting up their pages and would like to delete the unused ones.
A lot of them are duplicates such as a numeric value before and after scaling in the PLC of which only the scaled value is used.
@sky_watcher I've done something similar just with permissions.
You can edit the access permission of the custom page so that button will not redirect the users without permission to the target pages.
@phildunlap Roll up as in choose a date and time to look at the value of the point at that time?
End user is wanting to just hover through the chart and observe the values quickly. It appears to be glitchy to them and was brought to our attention. If the resolution is decreased for the hover view and populate the nearest value of all the points at the time whether it'd be every second or 5, that would be great.
@phildunlap Is there a way to decrease the resolution so that couple of millisecond misalignment does not cause this?

2018 marks President Gary Malin's 20th year leading Citi Habitats. In honor of this milestone, he shared with us insights on the past, present and future.
Citi Habitats: You have been with Citi Habitats for 20 years. What other jobs did you hold prior to Citi Habitats and what was the path that led to your role as President?
Gary: Before joining Citi Habitats, I worked as an attorney for two separate firms. I was doing tax planning, trust and estates, and real estate. Citi Habitats was founded by Andrew Heiberger, my college roommate from Michigan. Initially the company was one of my main clients. Once I dove into his business, I started recommending other areas we should focus on until finally he said, "Enough's enough. Just come in and run the business with me."
It was our history and friendship – he trusted me and I trusted him – we knew we could work well together because my brain was more business-focused and his brain was more real estate-focused. Together it was partnership – him teaching me and me teaching him how to build and grow a business while making sure he was protected.
Then, once he sold the company, he left within 6 months because it was no longer the right fit for him. I was then doing everything he had been doing – so eventually Pam Liebman, CEO of Corcoran, promoted me to President of Citi Habitats.
Citi Habitats: What do you think of these screenshots of what the Citi Habitats website looked like 18 years ago (courtesy of the Wayback Machine)?
Gary: Old days, wow, that's pretty funny. Look at this – $1,395 for a studio in Greenwich Village. Different time.
In the beginning, we tried to do anything we could to be different and to think about how to solve problems and add value to consumers that other people weren't doing. That was the fun part – we'd share ideas, put them out there, if they worked, they worked; if they didn't, they didn't. We'd say, "Okay, so we'll lose some money if it doesn't make sense, but it's worth trying." We even had a concierge because we thought clients needed different levels of service.
Back then, the rental world was still a world that the established real estate firms didn't embrace. They didn't want to handle it in the proper way. They didn't understand you could make a tremendous sales business out of rental business.
So we asked ourselves, "How do we add services that other people aren't? How do we take risks that people won't and utilize the volume of business that we are doing?" And (still to this day) no one was touching us in terms of the number of clients we were dealing with on a daily basis. It was great.
Citi Habitats: That must have been an incredible experience to create this powerhouse company with your buddy from college.
Gary: That was the best part of it, for sure. Look, for me, I was a lawyer, but I didn't love it. My grandfather was a lawyer, my father was a lawyer, so I followed in their footsteps. My time as a lawyer was valuable because it trained me to think a certain way – and allowed my brain to function the way it does. I think it's helped me tremendously in business. But still, it wasn't exciting. It wasn't as fun. I wanted to bring clients in. I wanted to generate business. I wanted to create something.
Law is about how many hours you are billing every single day. While that's great and you can make a very nice living at it, that just didn't suit my ambitions nor maximize my skill set. If you look at where we were then to where we are now, what's kept me here for 20 years is the culture and the people.
Citi Habitats: You have agents and staff who have been here ten, fifteen, twenty years. What is it about the culture that makes people build their entire careers here?
Gary: They know we're honest, we're straightforward, we're constantly thinking about what will benefit our agents and employees. We maintain relationships. I have spent a lot of time with them on a personal level, whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, golf. Anyone who knows me knows they can call or email me and pretty much within minutes, they're going to hear back from me.
That relationship is hard to replicate because at another firm, you don't have that history. The company today is not the company it was even five, six years ago. It's a much different business and much different company. We have a vision and we execute and our team realizes that we're doing it. We're not just saying we're going to do it. We have changed the whole look and feel of the company from the inside out. We're killing it in the new development world. They see what we're doing and that we've put our money where our mouth is, and they trust that.
Citi Habitats: What still surprises you about your work in real estate?
Gary: The business changes every single day. We're really in the customer service and hospitality business first and foremost. You can't be complacent. A lot of people in this industry attain certain levels and think, "I've arrived, and business is going to constantly come in and things aren't going to change."
For me, I know that tomorrow I better improve from where I am today. This business can be tough. Agents' expectations are changing, clients are changing, technology is changing.
The internet is where everyone is starting their search and doing their homework and that's where they're finding us. You have to constantly evolve. We now have four big offices in Manhattan and four storefronts in Brooklyn – we tailored the mix to what works in each specific community. Our agents very happy with our conference rooms, phone booth rooms, the board package rooms. If you walk in here at eight, nine, ten o'clock at night, there are still a ton of agents working.
Citi Habitats: Who has been an important mentor in your life?
Gary: My dad. When I was younger, I never understood half of the advice he was giving me or why he was telling me all this. But as I grew older, it all made sense. He taught me ethics and a fundamental understanding of treating people well and doing the right thing. When I reflect on what I do and how I do it, I see the influence is all his.
More recently, Peter Sobeck served as a mentor. He had a different business perspective and he's been in the business since he was a teenager. He was very successful as an agent, manager, and corporate trainer. He focused me in on the value of recruiting: why it will solve most, if not every, problem in this industry, and how it needs to be part of business life and part of every day as a brokerage. I knew the value of it, I just didn't realize the nuances involved. He helped me refocus on something that I knew was valuable, but to do it in a different and more effective way.
Citi Habitats: What do you do to stay grounded and centered?
Gary: Family is literally the most important thing in my life. In the end, they need you and you need them. I get it from my dad, a huge family guy. My daughter's going to college in the fall to Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism. Nothing could make me more proud. It was her goal, her dream, and she hit it. My son makes me proud in everything he does. He's a great athlete and recently took up golf – so that will be a great way for us to spend time together. My wife and I have been together since high school and she is the one that keeps my whole family moving forward and working together – including our dogs, cats and gecko Ernie.
And then friends. You have to go out and have some fun and get into a little bit of trouble – despite my advancing age. We decompress by playing golf. It's four hours of laughing and making fun of each other. And for business – when you can spend the day on a golf course with someone, you will find out more about that person and connect with that person on a far different level than if you took them out for dinner.
Citi Habitats: If you didn't live in New York City, where would you live?
Gary: I love Austin, Texas. That city is incredible, so that's definitely somewhere I would contemplate living – or California by the ocean. If I had to pick somewhere overseas, I'd probably live in the Caribbean because I like warm weather and that chill, mellow lifestyle. Grand Cayman is beautiful.
Citi Habitats: Do you have any shows you like to binge watch?
Gary: Yes, I watch a lot of bad television on Netflix. Peaky Blinders is an unbelievable show; Godless; Sons of Anarchy. I love to sit in my house with my two dogs, watch an hour or two of TV, and click my brain completely off. My wife can't stand it; she thinks all I do is watch bad TV.
Citi Habitats: Favorite New York City restaurant?
Gary: Rao's. I've been going there four or five times a year since I was right out of high school with my dad. It's a family tradition, so I'm very much drawn there.
Citi Habitats: Favorite New York City building?
Gary: It evolves as architecture evolves. When we did New York by Gehry many years ago, I was totally enthralled by that building and the design elements of it. Now it's Michael Stern's American Copper, my current favorite. It's an iconic building. I also love the building we're working on for Sheldon Solow, 685 1st Avenue.
Citi Habitats: If your kids wanted to get into real estate today, what would you tell them?
Gary: I would tell them they should do whatever they're passionate about. If it's real estate, do real estate. If it's cooking, do cooking – my daughter is an amazing baker, she has her own company called To Be Gluten Free (Follow on instagram here and check out the website here). My son was diagnosed with Celiac so she started creating baked goods for him because there wasn't good stuff on the market for him to eat. Then she turned it into a business and she's really successful at it. Anything they have a passion for is what they should do. I would tell them not to do it just because their father did it or their grandfather did it. They should do it because they want to do it. I wasn't passionate about being a lawyer. I was a good lawyer, but I didn't really love being a lawyer, so I was never happy being a lawyer. I want them to be happy above all.
Citi Habitats: Where do you see the real estate industry in ten years?
Gary: The industry is in a state of constant evolution. Look what can be done with data and automation now. How the real estate agent navigates this will be very interesting. Anyone who is fearful of technology has to get over being fearful because if they don't embrace it, they're going to be left behind. Many real estate agents who have been in this forever do things their way and they remain successful, which is great, but they have to adapt to technology sooner than later. I get it – it's intimidating – I look at my kids and their ability to function in a technological world versus mine.
But even though technology can't be ignored, at its core, real estate is a person to person business. Technology makes agents more effective, more efficient, and better at what they do, but I think the real estate agent is always going to be at the center of it. Whether it's a sale or rental, it's likely the client's most expensive financial decision that year. People want the guidance of experts. They want to work with people who understand the complexities, who can educate them.
The question is: how does the real estate agent put himself or herself in the middle of that stratosphere of technology and utilize it to the best of their ability? I believe tech will help agents and companies be profitable – and simplify the entire real estate experience. The only constant in life and in business is change – and change means great opportunity.

Over here in Melbourne, Australia, we have had an unprecedented cold weekend (coldest in 17 years, the experts tell us) and we woke up to snow fall in the higher regions and ice on our windscreens this morning.
Scoff as you may if this sounds absurd, if you hail from parts of the world where this is normal. I can say that in the last 11 to 12 years of living here, it's the first time I've had it so cold in August!
The best part about being locked indoors away from the wintry cold and amidst the hot blast of the heater is that you have to find ways to entertain yourself. Watch more movies, play more games, cook more food and perhaps talk to your spouse occasionally 😛
A couple of weekends ago, I picked up the art of making pasta from none other than Master Pasta himself, I Eat Blog a.k.a. Masta Pasta Do (get it??? BOOM Tish).
We've been experimenting with lots of truffled inspired dishes and one of the things The Boy and I really wanted to cook up was an Egg Yolk Raviolo.
The first time we made this dish, we used ready made fresh pasta from our favourite Prahran Market. The second time, Thanh kindly rolled us some fresh pasta according to Jamie Oliver's easy-to-follow recipe. Obviously, the winning pasta came from the freshly rolled home made pasta from Thanh.
You can use the following recipe with different kinds of pasta (we did one recently with squid ink pasta) and it'll turn out spectacularly!
We just love how oozy the egg yolk in the raviolo is when it's cooked this way. The gasps and joys of your guests as they cut into their raviolo is also a pleasure to hear. SUCCESS!
If you're feeling indulgent (like we were), shave some delicious truffle and aged parmesan over it before sprinkling with some fleur de sel. On normal days, when you are less indulgent, it tastes just as great with burnt butter (and sage), parmesan and salt.
Would you attempt this recipe? It's super easy, provided you do not crack the egg yolk as you are separating them ><

Why can I only select one point person for each activity entered in I.D. Program Requirements?
Often times when multiple people are assigned to oversee an activity, deadlines are missed because one point person assumed the other point person was handling that aspect of the project, compromising the fidelity of implementation. For this reason, CIMS only allows users to identify one point person from the drop-down menu for each activity entered in Programs Requirements.
However, when creating a district-level action plan, there will be instances where multiple people will be implementing an activity (e.g., an activity that is to be implemented by the principal of each elementary school in the district). In cases such as these, you may find that it works best to select a main district point person to serve as the "central contact" for that activity, with the intent that that person would be knowledgeable of the implementation of the other internally-noted point persons (e.g., elementary school principals).

Why Are Weddings Best to Find a Date
Weddings are one of the most emotionally charged events. Girls are high on feelings and guys want to find a date. Either way, weddings can serve to be the best platform to find a nice date.
You are invited to a wedding and you don't have a date to go? Don't worry; you are sure to find yourself a pretty girl there. The most common complain coming from guys and girls is that they are unable to find a date for the wedding they have to attend.
Yes, of course it is miserable to go on a wedding alone watching the lovestruck bride and groom and all the other couples flirting. That is kind of depressing and you might end up drinking a lot.
But the fact remains, weddings are your key to land yourself the perfect girl/guy. If you still don't believe me, look at some of the reasons why you should absolutely find a date on a wedding.
Because you are all dressed up
How often does one get all dressed up prim and proper? Guys look extremely handsome and girls the prettiest. When you are dressed properly, it is more likely that you will attract someone. Like I said, people are high on feelings on a wedding, and like you, there might be many other single ladies and gentlemen waiting for a perfect someone.
Single people everywhere
Just like you, many other people would be single and wanting to get into a relationship or at least find an appropriate date. Keep this thing in your mind before you head out to attend the wedding. Dress well and look your best. Don't get drunk and make a fool out of yourself because someone out there might have eyes on you.
You get a chance to talk to strangers
The rule for weddings is that never be scared of strangers. Weddings are always fun and you get to interact with people you don't know. Even better is that you get to dance with random strangers. That hot girl you have been eyeing the entire event is dancing too. Isn't this the greatest chance to meet her?
Of course it is. Strangers at a wedding are not harmless. Try to interact and maintain a good sense of humor. Don't act like a cheap and desperate person but be smart and have a little fun. You'll surely find a perfect little stranger to date.
I have attended a lot of weddings and many of my friends have found their soulmate on a wedding. After seeing wedding dates turn out so well, my perception about wedding entirely changed. The key is to act well, dress well and speak well. The impression you make will lead to someone falling for you for sure, you just have to play your cards right.
If your partner is someone you met at a wedding then don't forget to share your story with us. We would love to know how it worked out for you!
