WASHINGTON — Precariously short of time, congressional leaders struggled in urgent, weekend-long talks to avert an unprecedented government default, desperate to show enough progress to head off a plunge in stock prices when Asian markets open ahead of the U.S. workweek.
President Barack Obama met Saturday with Republican and Democratic leaders — but only briefly— the day after House Speaker John Boehner abruptly broke off his own once-promising compromise talks with the White House.
But congressional aides labored to produce at least a framework agreement to raise the nation's debt limit by Monday, congressional officials said. Even that would allow scarcely enough time for the House and Senate to clear legislation in time for Obama's signature by the Aug. 2 deadline, a week from Tuesday.
House Speaker John Boehner told rank-and-file Republicans in a conference call hoped to be able to announce a "viable framework for progress" by 4 p.m. EDT on Sunday, before the stock markets open in Japan and elsewhere in Asia, according to two participants. He was meeting Saturday evening with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Lawmakers fear a big drop in investor confidence in stocks and bonds could start in Asia and sweep toward Europe and the Americas, causing U.S. stock values to plunge on Monday.
Barring action by Aug. 2, the Treasury will run out of the money needed to pay all its bills, triggering a possible default that could seriously damage the domestic economy and send damaging waves across the globe. Obama has warned repeatedly of the possibility of a spike in interest rates that could affect Americans' mortgages, credit cards and other forms of personal debt.
In talks through the afternoon, congressional aides were looking at an immediate debt limit increase of about $1 trillion, one official said, with slightly higher spending cuts to be locked into place simultaneously. Another $1.4 trillion in additional borrowing authority would be needed to satisfy Obama's demand that any deal extend into 2013, and it appeared the two sides had not yet agreed how to bridge their differences.
"We seek an extension of the debt ceiling through at least the end of 2012. We will not send a message of uncertainty to the world," Reid said in a statement issued in late afternoon.
"The bipartisan leadership in Congress is committed to working on new legislation that will prevent default while substantially reducing Washington spending," McConnell said in a written statement not long after he, Boehner and Democratic leaders met with Obama at the White House.
Obama appeared grim-faced as he convened the meeting around the big table in the White House Cabinet Room. He was flanked by Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Vice President Joe Biden, McConnell and Pelosi also attended.
The four congressional leaders planned to meet again, at the Capitol, in the early evening.
The only aides attending the White House meeting were budget director Jack Lew and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who emphasized the concern about Asia.
Afterward, White House press secretary Jay Carney issued a stern statement: "Congress should refrain from playing reckless political games with our economy. Instead, it should be responsible and do its job, avoiding default and cutting the deficit."
Sixteen blocks away at the Capitol, congressional aides said the White House would not have a presence at the bargaining table with House and Senate leaders.
Under normal procedures, Boehner would need to have legislation on the House floor by Wednesday to allow enough time for a measure to reach Obama's desk in time to meet the debt-limit deadline.

Re: George Foreman's 5 Fights in 1 Night
Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember this - vividly - as a live TV broadcast. At the time I felt a bit embarrassed for Big George. But in retrospect it's nothing that many other heavyweight champs and ex-champs haven't done before. Jim Braddock, smart enough to know he was past his prime, fought many paid exhibitions before losing his title to Joe Louis.
Arguably Joe Louis and Jack Johnson were forced by financial woes to stoop lower to make a buck in their later years. Muhammad Ali engaged in a slopfest against a Japanese martial artist who spent the entire "fight" scrabbling around on the canvas like a crab, kicking Ali in the legs, to avoid being hit. Reportedly the computerized Ali vs. Marciano hypothetical bout was rigged in favor of Marciano so that Ali could receive hush money for his legal defense fund while he was banned from boxing.
Before you criticize these guys, consider how hard they work and how easily they are ripped off by predators in the business, having nothing left after years of fighting. Read up on the Diego Corrales for example (and, sure, read both Gary Shaw's and Jin Mosley's versions for balance, but I have no doubt that Jin's story is far more representative of what happens to most fighters).
Whatever you think of Big George then and now, he's more charming and a helluva lot richer than most of us.

The authors present an accurate analytical method for analyzing the power consumption in CMOS buffers. It is derived from the charge transferred through the circuit and makes use of the physically based MM9 MOSFET model (Velghe et al., 1994), (Foty et al., 1997) as well as a modified Sakurai alpha-power law model. The resulting analytical model accounts for the effects of input slew time, device sizes, carrier velocity saturation effects, input-to-output coupling capacitance, output load, and temperature. Results are compared to HSPICE simulations (level 50) and to other models previously published considering a large set of parameters for a 0.18 and 0.35 μm technologies, showing significant improvements

Resistance: Burning Skies has redefined the way First-person shooter games are played on a portable gaming device. Burning Skies is the first ever portable console game that makes use of the dual analog stick controls and an interactive touchscreen to enable you to achieve a style of gameplay never experienced before. Burning Skies is a spin-off of the popular Resistance series for the Playstation Vita. Handheld gamers are in for a treat with Burning Skies as the developers have a done a great job of integrating dire circumstances with frenzied and violent action.
Burning Skies is a First-person shooter made exclusively for the Sony PlayStation Vita by Nihilistic Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment America. This game is rated M for mature (17 plus) by ESRB due to the level of violence present in the game.
Synopsis and Features
The short campaign starts on 15 August 1951 where firefighter Tom Riley and his team attend a fire alarm in New York City. This is when the city is brutally attacked by Chimeran aliens hell-bent on destroying and subduing the human race. Quasi-animated comic images introduce and tell the story of the alien invasion. Tom Riley stays back even after the evacuation to find his wife, daughter and help every human being he encounters. Riley has to battle through foot soldiers, dog-sized arachnids and take down truck-sized berserkers. The Chimeran are an ugly race who attack in packs and are ferocious in nature.
As the story of Resistance: Burning Skies unfolds, it captures the desperation of humanity's plight in short animated clips in between levels. The multiplayer action in Burning Skies is solid and engaging with an array of advanced weapon modifications as you climb up the ladder. You have to collect ammunition for the weapons that you use in each level and learning how to efficiently use your weapons is the key to never running out of fire power. Making good use of grenades , secondary fire mode of different weapons and salvaging firearms will keep you alive against higher level players with upgraded firepower.
Burning Skies multiplayer games can host up to 8 players across 6 unique maps in 3 different modes which are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Survival mode. Traditional human weapons like the Carbine and Deadeye are available along with Chimeran weapons such as the Auger and Bullseye. The Secondary functions like the Carbine's grenade launcher and the Bullseye's tagging feature can be activated by using the touchscreen on the PS Vita. The touchscreen additions to this game make the game more interactive and the responsive mechanism of the Vita enable instant actuation.
Actions opening the Auger's shield, placing the Bullseye markers and tossing grenades feel neat, because of the how the onscreen animation matches the swiping gesture. Sprinting in the game is achieved by double tapping the rear touchscreen and thereby does not block constant view of the screen. Multiplayer maps have a basic layout which is easy to navigate and you get experience points for kills or assists in each round. The experience points can be used to unlock new abilities or weapon upgrades to be applied to your custom loadout.
Some of the abilities that you get are faster reloading of ammunition, increased grenade capacity and the ability to add modifications like a scope to the Bullseye. The game's general and basic stats are tracked in order to provide seamless gameplay whenever you log in to play. Resistance: Burning Skies leaves little doubt that the PlayStation Vita is a comfortable home for first-person shooting games.

Let's be honest here.If this game was for the PS3, game journalists around the world would have dissed this game back to the drawing board. Not that they aren't already but this game is for a handheld console. And so it should be judged in a fair and distinct manner.

This paper presents a unified architecture for a live video over the Internet with emphasis on solving some challenging problems such as network bandwidth adaptation for rate and congestion, loss packet recovery, joint source and channel coding, and packetization. In our architecture, a time-varying bit rate for the source coding and time-varying ratios for the channel coding are simultaneously computed by a new congestion-control protocol. An adaptive rate-control scheme is then proposed to calculate quantization parameters and to determine the number of skipping frames corresponding to the bit rate. An adaptive unequal error-control scheme is also provided to protect the bitstream. Furthermore, a simple and MPEG-4 standard compatible algorithm is designed to packetize generated bitstream at the SyncLayer by using the existing resynchronization marker approach. With the proposed architecture, the coding efficiency and the robustness of the whole system are improved greatly.

We studied the temporal succession of vertical profiles of Emiliania huxleyi and their specific viruses (EhVs) during the progression of a natural phytoplankton bloom in the North Sea in June 1999. Genotypic richness was assessed by exploiting the variations in a gene encoding a protein with calcium-binding motifs (GPA) for E. huxleyi and in the viral major capsid protein gene for EhVs. Using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing analysis, we showed at least three different E. huxleyi and EhV genotypic profiles during the period of study, revealing a complex, and changing assemblage at the molecular level. Our results also indicate that the dynamics of EhV genotypes reflect fluctuations in abundance of potential E. huxleyi host cells. The presence and concentration of specific EhVs in the area prior to the bloom, or EhVs transported into the area by different water masses, are significant factors affecting the structure and intraspecific succession of E. huxleyi during the phytoplankton bloom.

Lives are saved every day at Dunedin Hospital. But are the
surgeons' scalpels being blunted by a lack of help at home
afterwards, or are community expectations too high? Nigel
Benson and Eileen Goodwin report.
Call it serendipity.
Ten minutes after the Otago Daily Times visits Cliff
Rodger, the phone rings.
It is Healthcare New Zealand Dunedin manager Graeme Martin,
calling to reoffer the 86-year-old an hour of housework a
week, after his recent heart surgery.
The feisty bachelor is having none of it.
''Either give me proper home help, or don't come near the
place,'' Mr Rodger says.
''You people don't give a damn. You do nothing.''
Mr Martin squirms, like a decent man caught in an impossible
It is hard not to feel sympathy for him.
Mr Rodger sparked a huge response from ODT readers
this week after saying he felt abandoned by the Southern
District Health Board following his heart operation.
Mr Rodger has been regularly visited by a district nurse
since he left hospital and returned home - but complained
about what he sees as a lack of domestic help.
''The head surgeon said I'd get three hours of home help a
week, until I got back on my feet. But, now all they're
offering me is one hour a week,'' he fumes after the phone
''They're a law unto themselves. It's wrong what they're
doing to the elderly.''
He said he declined the offer for one hour's housework a week
because it was inadequate and did not include washing clothes
and dishes.
The ODT was inundated with offers of help from readers
after highlighting his plight.
But whether Mr Rodger's is a lone case, or the tip of a wider
problem, is unclear. Anecdotal accounts of shortcomings in
home support had not been followed by specific complaints to
Age Concern Otago, the organisation's executive officer,
Susan Davidson, said this week.
''We are hearing rumblings in the community, but we have not
been approached by individual people.
''All the claims that we're hearing are second-hand.
''We don't know if it's a huge problem or if it's one or two
More co-ordination and communication at the point of hospital
discharge would probably help, she said.
''Hospitals have a single point of entry, but there is no
single point of exit. People exit hospital in all sorts of
different ways. But, discharge planning is not as robust as
it should be,'' she said.
Home help in Otago-Southland had a shake-up last year,
dislodging an array of mainly local providers in favour of
three North Island-based providers. The new system introduced
a so-called ''restorative'' model centred on abilities,
promoting independence and setting goals.
Ms Davidson broadly supports the new system, which was part
of a change encouraging older people to live at home for as
long as possible.
Help and support is increasingly provided informally through
community networks, rather than by the State. This raised
potential issues: it made sense to be cautious and vouch for
people through mutual friends, community groups, or church
networks. It was important the State supported the very frail
or those who were not ''joiners'' in the community.
''The system's in a great state of change - I'm optimistic
that it will be better in the end.''
Ms Davidson said expectations were probably unrealistic among
some older people because of memories of the
''cradle-to-grave welfare state''. Patients are assessed
postsurgery by a needs assessor, usually using computer
software called InterRai. The person is then referred to a
service provider - Healthcare New Zealand, Access, or Royal
District Nursing Service.
Access chief executive Graeme Titcombe denies the new system
is selling older people short.
What has changed is they are now accurately assessed for what
they can and cannot do. Assessment programme InterRai
pinpoints the need to the individual tasks required.
Before, carers tended to perform a similar range of tasks for
every client. The number of hours granted used to be
determined by the individual assessor, essentially a ''single
person's opinion'' of the situation. The national assessment
tool provided consistency. Mr Titcombe maintains there are
significant benefits for older people in keeping active and
They became ''more and more dependent'' if not performing
tasks they were capable of doing. It was especially important
for those recently discharged from hospital, and the new
system was an opportunity for them to recover more quickly
from their hospital stay, Mr Titcombe says.
He says expectations need to change in some quarters.
''With some people there is an expectation of some services
that are just not provided or funded by a DHB.
''We know that there are expectations from some clients which
are above and beyond what you would normally get from any DHB
in the country. And that often leads to misunderstandings and
Health board planning and funding director Sandra Boardman
says older people sometimes expected domestic help to include
window cleaning, spring cleaning, or lawn mowing.
''That's not what the system is about providing.''
Asked how older people could get these tasks performed, she
says she does not know. Common tasks provided include
cleaning kitchens, bathrooms, floors, or making beds.
The board has to allocate resources to those most in need -
there will always be ''unmet need'', she says.
''We are very much aware that we have an increasing elderly
population, and we've only got limited resources, and we need
to focus those resources ...''
What the new system does ensure is the fairest possible
spread of available resources, Mrs Boardman said.
Assessments take account of whether people have family and
friends living close who can help.
Last week, the Auditor-general issued a progress report on
the sector assessing work done implementing recommendations
in a 2011 performance audit.
The audit had said there was too much variation between
health boards, and called for better data collection,
introduction of a minimum standard of service quality,
development of a complaints system, better training and
supervision for carers.
In the update this month, the Auditor-general said there had
been progress in some areas but not in others. An evaluation
of the InterRai tool was delayed, and there was insufficient
data collection.
Health boards had resisted minimum training and supervision
levels for carers because of how much this would cost, and it
was unclear when the requirement would be included in service
contracts, the update said.
However, because of success implementing a new minimum
standard of service quality, training and supervision had
experienced improvement.
Home support
Number of those aged 65 and over is expected to double
between 2011 and 2036.
• Ageing population means keeping more people in their
• Home-based support is cheaper than residential care.
• Health boards spent $263 million on more than 10 million
hours home support for about 75,000 people in 2012-13.
• New system promotes independence and older people doing
more of their own housework.

The goverments of the day promised to fully fund community
rehabilitation when they began ejecting people from hospitals
and residential care facilities. Considering they are by the
own admission saving about $1000 a day by having people at
home the limited assistance given by Winz and funded home
help is a joke.
If it wasn't for the Red Cross supplying me with transport
(unfunded by the goverment) I would only be doing a quarter
of the rehab I am recovering from a stroke. This is because
the Winz disability allowance is capped at $69 per week and
after medicines, doctors etc there is little left. There
would not be enough for transport to more than one rehab
if the government had their way I and many others for the
sake of a few extra dollars a week would be on the benefit
for months (in my case about 18months) more than needed. They
save several grand a week having me at home barely able to
pay bills and eat, but only contribute a generously estimated
$150 in home help and disability allowance and invalid's
benefit which after paying rent, power and phone/net leaves
me $45-50 a week for food. Thanks to the Red Cross i get to
do 25-30 hours of rehab a week instead of the 6-8 I would
otherwise be able to afford under current funding.
It's obvious this system is more about saving money in the
short term than rehab and getting people back into work.
No, he is not an isolated case. When I had my hip replacement
in December last year I rang all the departments and none of
them knew where I could get home help. The hospital refered
me to the SDHB, who refered me to the the hospital who
suggested the doctor, who said there was nothing he could do.
I ended up hiring a cleaner for two hours a week at $15 per
hour. Eventually after the operation someone from Mercy asked
whether I would like 1 hour a week from somewhere but I had
already hired my cleaner in preparation for coming home from
hospital. What a confusing debarcle.
I refused that belated help as he has. One hour a week is
only long enough to say hello and tell them what needs doing.
You might then get the washing up done and the bath rinsed
out but that's about all. Disgusting!

Spartanburg deputies asking for help in finding missing adult
Published: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 7:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 7:37 p.m.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding an endangered missing person.
Ricky Lynn Godfrey, 50, was last seen near his daughter's house at 106 Cook Drive in Cowpens on Aug. 8. The sheriff's office said he left his daughter's house walking and was later seen by a deputy on Aug. 8. Deputies said he appeared to be fine at the time but hasn't been seen by his family since Aug. 8.
Godfrey is a white male about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a black Dale Earnhardt T-shirt, blue jogging pants, and black Velcro shoes. He has an RG tattoo on his right upper arm and a Grim Reaper tattoo on his left shoulder.
The sheriff's office says Godfrey suffers from Stage IV cancer, hepatitis C, and cirrhosis of the liver. Deputies say his family told them Godfrey had only a three-day supply of his medication when he left.
Deputies say Godfrey has family and friends in the Gaffney and Blacksburg areas, but all leads have been exhausted.
Anyone with any information can contact Sgt. Deanna Burgess at (864) 503-4519 or call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or text a tip to CrimeStoppers by texting TIPSC with the information to 274637 (CRIMES).

Went when it was empty one Saturday. Must have been around 4pm so all stalls gone? Eerie! But nice to see actually and take a pic or two.more
Leadenhall market is a beautiful old outside market with many bars and restaurants. The atmosphere is magical there because of the architecture however it gets full of business people that have afterwork drinks and quite loud. Not necessarily the best tourist location but good for a drink after workmore
We went there (five days ago) because I'd read about the beautiful architecture, and indeed it's really lovely. It's a Victorian shopping arcade and it's been beautifully restored. Admittedly we had no interest in eating or drinking there, but it was certainly worth going there just to see it.more
I've only been to Leadenhall Market a couple of times, and always just to pubs. It's a cool tourist attraction, as it was featured in one of the Harry Potter movies as Diagon Alley. But it's generally full of insurance guys in suits drinking during or after the work day as they emerge from the Lloyd's building. I would love to go back during the day sometime and check out the other shops...more
What can I say - Harry Potter!
That aside this is a lovely venue to visit. It is beautifully restored and houses several shop. The highlight is however the pubs and restaurants! A must visit when you are in the mood for an authentic experience that is very social.more

Ebelskiver (Spiced Apple-Filled Pancakes)
Total Time
Prep 45 mins
Cook 0 mins
With a spoonful of spiced apple filling tucked inside and accompanied by maple whipped cream, these pancakes make a special treat for an autumn brunch.
Ingredients Nutrition
For the filling
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 3 granny smith apples, peeled and grated
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 lemon, juice of
For the maple whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
For the filled-pancake batter
- 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1⁄3 cups buttermilk
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 5 egg whites
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- To make the filling:
- In a fry pan over medium heat, cook the butter, brown sugar, apples, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon juice, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes.
- Drain off any liquid. Set aside.
- To make the maple whipped cream:.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the heavy cream, maple syrup and salt until soft peaks form.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the filled-pancake batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt.
- In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks, then whisk in the buttermilk and sour cream.
- Whisk the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture until well combined; the batter will be lumpy.

- Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the confectioners sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on the pancakes.
- Serve with the maple whipped cream.

Excellent recipe! These pancakes were soft and delicious, the filling was wonderful too. Personally I would have liked more filling but my husband liked them as is. I'm going to try the batter for regular pancakes as well. I used this on my new ebelskiver pan and it worked wonderfully! Thanks!
Good recipe; the batter is easy to work with and the pancakes turn very easily. No reason why the pancake filling can't be made ahead the night before--leave at room temperature (this is the most time consuming part of the prep work). One modification I would make in the recipe itself: DON'T use salt in the whipping cream! It serves no purpose other than to make the whipped cream taste salty! I don't understand why the recipe calls for it. Lastly, the pancakes are tastiest with a generous amount of filling. As it's written, the filling recipe doesn't begin to yield enough filling to fill the quantity of pancake batter. Double the apple filling (or half again as much).
These pancakes are sooooo yummy! Ok, right off I need to say what I did differently: I used raspberry jam instead of the filling part, and skipped the whipped cream altogether. And for the batter, instead of 3 egg yolks and 5 whites, I used 4 whole eggs and combined them with the liquids. Other than that (I hope you don't mind, Cucina Casalingo!) these pancakes were made using the batter ingredients as listed. These could really be a dessert as well as a breakfast. Ours were a delicious lazy Sunday morning treat, enjoyed by all. Thanks so much!

SOURCE: Bryant, Jerry H. "The Winter's Tale and the Pastoral Tradition." Shakespeare Quarterly 14, no. 4 (autumn 1963): 387-98.
In the following essay, Bryant places The Winter's Tale within the English pastoral tradition, and examines Shakespeare's transformation of the stereotypical elements of the pastoral style to create a tale that is "an involved and subtle commentary on appearance and reality."
It is curious that no appraiser or appreciator seems to have puzzled over the kinship of The Winter's Tale with the pastoral tradition. Most commentators tacitly assume the connection, then abandon it to court other features. Some explain the drama as tragicomedy, some as one of the "last plays". Others see it against the background of Elizabethan thought. Still others, lately, have examined the grammar, the vocabulary, and the reverberations of the imagery. All these approaches are good, cogent...

FORT WORTH -- Clutching his ever-present rosary, Capt. Charles J. (Chuck) Pelletier II, a tireless advocate for the unborn and decorated Vietnam War hero, died Jan. 14 surrounded by loving family and friends. He was 72. Funeral arrangements are pending.
The words, actions, and ideals of Martin Luther King, Jr. were remembered by hundreds of Catholics of all races at the annual diocesan Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Mass, celebrated at St. Bartholomew Church Jan. 8.
Among the many quotes attributed to the slain civil rights leader is "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
For Cher Lopez, there's no better way to start the Year of Mercy than to help families devastated by the string of tornadoes that ripped through Dallas, Ellis, and Collin counties on the day after Christmas.

Oatmeal Chocolate Mousse with Strawberries
The United States is the world's largest producer of strawberries, accounting for 29% of global production according to AgMRC, and while our state may have some competition, Texas is definitely not lacking in strawberry pride. Spring is the onset of Texas strawberry season and small towns like Poteet have been supporting and creating a strawberry fan club since 1948, the first Poteet Strawberry Festival. Today, many small towns in and around Poteet are responsible for producing some of the most flavorful and sweet strawberries around, selling locally in order to preserve a fresh and flavorful taste.
Since we're committed to seasonal eating and local sourcing, you'll pretty much only find strawberries in our produce section when Texas strawberries are available, so you can imagine how exciting this season is for us. We've been known to carry Poteet strawberries, but right now we're very excited to be sourcing some delicious berries from Fruitful Hill Farm in Bastrop, TX. This small family operation prides themselves in harvesting their berries mere days before delivery, and also chooses not to wash their berries, as this decreases their shelf life and deteriorates flavor. Fruitful Hill Farm practices sustainable agriculture, utilizing organically approved pest control methods only when necessary.
Aside from pies, jams, and salads, a common trick to draw out a strawberry's natural juices is to macerate your strawberries by adding a touch of sugar and setting aside for 10-15 minutes. If your mouth is already watering, try this overnight breakfast mousse listed on Food 52 and provided by Lisa @ Healthy Nibs and Bits.
⅓ cup oatmeal
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup yogurt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
½ tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey
jar or airtight container
*3 large strawberries, sliced
Except for your strawberries, mix together oatmeal, almond milk, yogurt, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and agave nectar or honey, adding more sweetener to your liking.
Place the mixture into ⅓ of your jar and top with sliced strawberries. Cover this layer with more of your oatmeal mixture and repeat with another layer until the jar is full.
Cover, refrigerate overnight and enjoy the next morning!
*For an additional burst of flavor, you can macerate your strawberries using brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, or balsamic reduction, setting aside before layering into your oatmeal, chocolate mousse.
Garden Day Recap and Kale Smoothie Recipe
Thank you to everyone who came out on Sunday for our workday in celebration of our garden's third anniversary. We repaired a number of our raised beds and planted two varieties of sweet potatoes. Shout out to our friends at Joe's Organics, Third Coast Coffee, and Yard to Market Coop for providing the compost, coffee grounds and chaff, and soil, respectively. Those sweet potatoes are going to be really happy! Thanks as well to Dripping Springs Ollas for providing an olla for one of our other boxes.
With an abundance of kale in our garden right now, Farmer Sue recommended taking advantage of the final days of harvest with one of her favorite snacks, the kale smoothie. After experimenting with kale from our garden and a few other signature ingredients sold in store, we created the Kale, Avocado, Ginger Smoothie! For those of you who weren't able to taste it on our porch yesterday, here's the recipe so you can create the magic in your own kitchen. Cheers!
Kale, Avocado, Ginger Smoothie
splash or two of almond milk
Two spoonfuls of White Mountain Organic Bulgarian Yogurt
Three tablespoons of Eden Organic Applesauce
½ an avocado
1-2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons of honey
1-2 ice cubes
Wash your kale and cut off the stems, leaving only the leafy greens for blending. Place in a blender with the grated ginger, almond milk, yogurt, lemon juice, avocado, honey, and ice cubes and blend on high until the kale is completely blended into the smoothie.
How Cooking Can Change Your Life
Today we are thankful for cooking. Thanksgiving is a holiday based in homemade dishes, and hours spent in the kitchen with the ones you love. Since the mid-1960s, home cooking has fallen by half. Did you know that the average American spends 27 minutes preparing food, and only four minutes cleaning up? We, as a country, have fallen into the habit of letting the industry take over our meals, which has led to disastrous results. While these statistics are bleak, we are thankful for people like Michael Pollan who uncover, research and share information about the current state of our food system.
Pollan has dedicated the last 25 years of his life to researching and writing about the topic of nature and food. While discussing his most recent book, Cooked, for the The RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce), Pollan explains how cooking can change your life.
We have discussed the importance of knowing where your food comes from, and the ramifications of industrial food. We know that buying local is important, but what we haven't touched on is how interacting with your food (cooking your food) is a crucial step in the process. Studies have shown that the rate of obesity decreases when people cook at home. In order to make shelf stable food, the processed food industry relies on three key ingredients: fat, sugar and salt. And while these ingredients can be layered to taste good, there is little to no nutritional value. A diet filled with processed foods means you take "once in a while foods" and turn them into "everyday foods". It's no surprise we live in a time where 1 in 3 kids (and 2 in 3 adults) are considered overweight or obese.
The shift to diets rich in processed foods happened when the industry coerced American families into thinking cooking at home was drudgery. During WWII, the food industry worked with the military to develop shelf stable food for the troops. When the war ended, they saw a market with the everyday American family, and had the technology to create a fast, processed and convenience based food culture. A famous KFC billboard in the early 1970s showed a giant bowl of their infamous fried chicken with the words, "Women's Liberation". They took homemaking and cooking and put a negative spin on it. And while Pollan has gotten flack for his book being "anti feminist", his point was simply that the industry saw an opportunity to insert itself into the American family. Too busy working? Cooking wasn't worth the precious time, and if the industry could cook for you, why bother?
Fast forward to today and you have an epidemic of obesity, heart disease and a general disconnect with where food comes from and how to prepare it. So today (and every day you can) spend time in your kitchen. Go grab real food and start exploring. There is so much joy in making a big meal with and for the people you love.
We want to acknowledge that we live in a society where some families have to work multiple jobs to ensure their family can even eat. This opens a whole other can of worms in regards to what's broken with our food system, but we think there's still time to cook. The average American spends over 30 hours watching television. And while there's nothing wrong with unwinding after work, perhaps it would be worthwhile to take an hour or two away from technology and put it towards making food for yourself and your family.
Take the momentum from cooking Thanksgiving and translate that into your everyday life.
Alice Waters and The Joys of Local Food
Source: NPR
Today we are thankful for Alice Waters and local food. We're in an exciting time where food is in the spotlight and people are realizing that local tastes better. This shift towards farm to table restaurants, grocery stores (woo hoo!) and food trailers is in part thanks to chef Alice Waters. Back in 1971, Waters decided (with no prior chef experience) to open a restaurant.
In an old house in Berkeley, CA, Waters opened the doors of Chez Panisse, and has been helping shape the local food movement ever since. Her inspiration came from studying abroad in Paris during the 1960s. As she traveled around the country, she realized that the best flavors came from what was made, grown and sourced from France.
Taking this idea of local food tasting better, Chez Panisse menu consists of simple, local food prepared with a lot of love. Since opening, the restaurant has grown and fostered relationships with growers in California. Using weekly trips to the farmers market as inspiration, the menu is shaped by what's available and what's in season. And while Waters acknowledges the challenges of eating local (where are the bananas?), she urges people to get creative, "Eating locally is so particular. You have to accept that fact and celebrate what does really grow."
Waters has taken the idea of a local, sustainable diet and moved it from the restaurant into the classroom. Seventeen years ago, Waters teamed up with Neil Smith, a principal at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School to transform an acre of asphalt into an Edible Schoolyard. They then added in a kitchen element, and by year five, the teachers at this public middle school taught ten 90-minute classes a week in both the garden and the kitchen. Since then, they've added chickens to the land, and now grow more than 100 varieties of seasonal vegetables, herbs, vines, berries, flowers and fruit trees. Best of all? They have served over 7,000 students. The work they are doing for the farm to school movement is huge, and if you're seeking inspiration, go check out the multiple projects they're working on to bring real, local food to the classroom.
Alice Waters is an inspiration. As a business whose ethos is to bring local, sustainable and seasonal food to our community, it's not surprising that Waters was one of the main influencers for opening in.gredients. Last year at the Think Beyond Plastic award ceremony, one of our founders, Christian Lane, got the chance to meet Alice Waters. While discussing local food, Waters congratulated us on the work we're doing, and encouraged the growth and expansion of in.gredients. To say we were flattered is an understatement. It's not everyday you get kudos from a national local food leader.
When we look into the work of Alice Waters, our hope is restored. She's living proof that with a lot of work, a lot of love and a strong passion and commitment to what you believe in, you can change the way people view and value their food. This Thanksgiving, raise your glass to individuals around the world who are bringing local back to the table.
The Diffusion of Innovation
Today we are thankful for our early adopters. We are grateful to the folks who looked at our business model and mission statement and said to themselves, "Yes, this is something I believe in." Whether this support came in the form of funding our Indiegogo campaign, helping us dig our garden beds or shopping here since day one, we are thankful for each and every one of you.
The founders of in.gredients took the conventional grocery store model and flipped it on its head. In a country where over 40% of our food goes to waste and so much unnecessary packaging fills the shelves, in.gredients exists as an alternative. We are a small grocery store that serves our community sustainable, seasonal and local food. We believe in our farmers, ranchers and artisans and think that our money should stay within our community. in.gredients isn't about convenience. We are about innovation and shifting the way people shop and interact with their food. So today, we are thankful for all of those that believe in what we are doing.
In 1962 a man named Everett Rogers published a paper titled, "Diffusion of Innovations" This paper sought to explain how, why and at what rate new ideas and technology spreads through consumers. Shaped like a bell curve, this idea shows that there are a small number of early adopters, and these are the folks that catch wind of an innovative idea, acknowledge its purpose, and sign up. From there, more and more people catch on and eventually this idea becomes a part of everyday life.

While a majority of the real life examples apply to technology (DVD players, Apple iPods, etc.), this is a theory that can be applied to any innovative idea. In Simon Sinek's TED Talk, he asks the question why some leaders, businesses and organizations are so great at inspiring action and change. Referencing great leaders from our past, he suggests his Golden Circle idea. According to Sinek, every single person and organization knows what they do 100%, but very few people and organizations know why they do what they do. Not many organizations have pinpointed what their purpose is. Instead, they think from the outside in, first answering what, then how and finally why.
What makes inspiring innovators different, is that they answer the why first. They inspire by making believers out of their followers. As Sinek puts it, "The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have. The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe." These believers, they are the early adopters. They are the ones that will dive head first into the business before anyone else. They are the people who funded us before we opened, volunteered countless hours to help us build the store from the ground up, and continue to shift with us as we grow and adapt our business.
Today, we are raising our glasses to our early adopters. The people who heard about in.gredients, saw that we were pioneering the idea of a zero-waste grocery store, accepted that it would be a work in progress, and have supported us ever since.
Thank you for believing in us, we wouldn't be here without your continued support.
The Real Cost of Food
This Thanksgiving week, we are dedicating our blog to things we are thankful for. Today (and every day), we are thankful for real food. We are thankful to our local farmers who we know by name, and who work hard to grow the most beautiful produce we've ever seen. We are grateful for our ranchers who treat their animals with respect and put value in the life of another creature. As a business, in.gredients is dedicated to sourcing from local farmers, ranchers and artisans so our customers can shop here without fear of hidden costs to your health or the health of the environment.
We're advocates for real, local food and here's why.
Conventional food, while monetarily cheaper due to government subsidies and policies, has a much higher cost than you might realize. The Sierra Club's National Sustainable Consumption Committee launched a campaign about the true cost of food. In a short 15 minute movie, they walk you through what conventional food really costs.
Let's start with meat. The average United States citizen eats 270.7 pounds of meat per year, which is more than almost any other country on the planet (Luxembourg eats slightly more than the US.) Meat has a much larger impact on the environment than any other food we eat. One quarter-pound of hamburger meat requires 6.7 pounds of grains, 52.8 gallons of drinking water, 47.5 square feet of land and 1,036 Btus (british thermal unit) of fossil fuel energy. In this country, a majority of the meat is raised in factory farms, where animals are not only treated inhumanely, they are given copious amounts of hormones and antibiotics. Did you know that US livestock operations use 77% of total antibiotic use? That's 3.9 time greater than the amount sold to humans. Needless to say, our current source of meat is sick. The Sierra Club estimates that the true cost for a one pound, conventionally raised steak is $815 a pound.

Next up is conventionally grown produce. Mono-cropping has become the norm for growing fruits and vegetables in the United States. Only planting one crop at a time means that a single disease or pest can wipe out an entire crop. To avoid this, big agriculture turns to pesticides. Nearly 1 billion tons of pesticides are used every year, which kills the "bad" pests while simultaneously killing everything else around it. This causes a loss of 24 billion tons of topsoil a year, as well as contributing to the pollution of our rivers and groundwater. Not only does mono-cropping and big agriculture damage the natural environment, it also hurts small family farms.
Did you know that the largest 10% of the farms collect 65% of the government subsidies, and 7% of our farms sell 72% of our food? And a majority of the "food" they are growing are corn and soy, which are used to make the massive amounts of processed foods that have become the normal breakfast, lunch and dinner for many American families. So what's the average cost of a conventionally grown tomato? According to the Sierra Club, the true cost of a tomato is $374.
Last but not least is processed food. Let's take a look at a box of cereal. Boxed cereal was one of the earliest convenience foods and represents the power of marketing and packaging. They represent how you can take a cheap commodity crop (corn, soy, wheat) and convert it into a "high value" good. In reality, there is little to no nutritional value in processed foods, and they are basically fat, sugar, salt and chemicals passed off as food. Because of processed, "convenient" foods, 15% of American children are overweight, a number that has tripled in the past 25 years. It's not just the kids, ⅓ of American Adults are overweight, which has increased the risk of heart disease, strokes, diabetes and numerous other health ailments. It's the first time in history where children have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
Alright, enough with the doom and gloom facts. The fantastic news is that we, as consumers, have the power to vote with our fork, and make it clear that we value and want local food. With the average meal traveling approximately 1,500 miles, it's time to take a step back and look at the food growing around you. Eating locally saves up to 17 times the fuel costs of conventional food. There are now five times the amount of farmers markets today than there were in 1980, and the organic food market is growing 25% every year. And while the monetary cost of real, local food might seem more expensive, when your food comes from a place that works with nature, not against it, it costs a lot less in the long run.
This Thanksgiving, stop by in.gredients or your farmers market and thank the amazing folks that work tirelessly to grow food you can eat with pride. The real cost of our conventional food system is haunting, and we are the only ones that have the power to change it. Support local, seek ownership and responsibility for the food you're buying for yourself and your family, and let's work together to build community around real, local food.
If you want to know more about the real cost of food, here are some great resources:

concept guns
post any ideas for guns you have, and we'll discuss their effectiveness and ability.
5 years agoReply
http://www.instructables.com/id/knex-concept-gun/ its kinda like the dunkis concept
6 years agoReply
I am creating a gun right now. In a nutshell, it is very similar to solekill3r's El Diablo Gun, but it is an uzi with a completely removable clip, It loads by inserting blue rods into the clip and sliding it upward into the barrel. I's quite sick and the concept works on mlcad. Heres a pic. Note, the pic is only showing the hull/ frame.
I'm still trying to think up a design for a magazine and chamber where the ammo doesn't load straight up. In stead the ammo gets pushed forward out of the magazine into the chamber like in a real firearm. This would eliminate the jamming problems with rods and it would place the ammo up farther in the ultimately making the gun a lot stronger. This would eliminate the biggest problem with repeaters. My idea to do so was making a charging handle connected to a part around the pin just over the magazine. Then when you pulled back the handle to cock the weapon and you let go and it resets it would push the ammo out into the barrel. The only problem is you'd have to make either it or the trigger go around the other so that they don't interfere with each other. Probably wouldn't be too hard just making one like IaC's APs'.
solekill3r made a true bolt action sniper like that
I actually built a gun that had a top mag, and when you pulled the handle, the pin gets cocked, and the piece falls. Then, you push the handle forwards and the piece falls down into another chamber. Then, the pin goes off like normal. This had barely any power, and frequently misfired (the round bounced back up the chamber)
could somebody please rate this forum
what about a gatling gun that had a removable set of barrels?
you take them out and put the new ones in. to make it less pieces you could make them 8 or 16 barreled for each set.
RPG? (rocket propelled grenade)

RPG? (rocket propelled grenade)
a gatling gun seems ineffective to me. a chaingun seems more appropriate unless 1 firing pin is used, and that may require an alternate cocking method (model car motor?), but id like to see one made!
yeah. im not sure, it just would sound cool having a removable set of barrels. i dunno though...
it sounds cool, and if we could achieve the speed and the power, then it would save pieces. I saw a vid on youtube on how a real one works, and it may give you some ideas. I don't have the link, but it is an animation, and should be pretty easy to find.
yeah. ok ill try to find it
I can picture the setup, but the firing pin would need to go off really fast, like use multiple motors to pull a string that releases at a certain point, or: each piece comes in a chink of barrel, with a rubber band on the front. Then, a motor pulls the band to the front of the barrel, and releases a trigger, senfing the bullet down the barrel.
dud u see it? any suggestions?
that was it, and it may be difficult and inefficent, but hey, its just for the concept.
yep. it looks cool too. if we ever make something like that, we need to look at the vulcan nerf gun. that might help. also i would want to be able to see the action.
to knexguy, the trigger could be either a slingshot, and when the roumnd is added, the bullet goes off, or the way you suggested. to shadowninja: I see what you mean, and as for seeing the action, we would have to decide if it is worth the better chance of misfire, or if closed: harder to fix if it misfires.
yeah. i think seeing the action would be cool, thought it might be more prone to jammimg. if it wasn't visible it wouldnt jam so much but it would prob. jam worse when it did. yes i agree.
The only hard bits would be a trigger mechanism and creating the back/forward motion of the bolts, the could run on spiralling rails though. Oh, and the loading system could be buggy, with rounds falling out and the like.
I have an idea for a retractable sight, you pull the pin, and a sight pops up. However, it will require a lot of parts on the body alone.
why does it require lots of parts? I see it as killerk's srv1 sight on a rubberband-loaded arm that pops up when the pin is pulled out of the socket. btw, why a rectractable sight? one that doubles as a handle seems pretty useful.
you need a large-ish body to house the sight. not to mention the other parts. it would pop-up via springs beneath the sight. and its not killerk's sight.
not to seem mean, but whats the point? I see how it would work, and I imagined the sight either flipping up, or coming up like the screen on the Tmobile phone the G1 (google it if you anent familiar) out of the stock.
i have an idea for a real shotgun, which uses yellow rods with the tips cut off, then gray connectors on top, and red ones at the end. Should fit four green rods. the red ends would slide up a groove in the mag, then when pumped, eject like real shells.
I've made a shell where it's rounds and it will hold more green rods in a length than most tube shells. I haven't figured out how to make a magazine for it but it is just a concept for now.
look @ how i described mine, a mag that oens @ each end before the front, creating 2 tracks for the shell to ride on. the pump on a knex gun isn't too hard to pull, so adding a mechanism that cocks another pin on the side with a yallow connector on the end wouldn't be too hard to pull, and would eject the shell. The only problem is making it so the firing pin goes off before the ejection.
as a side note: designs for a shell ejector? mine is, use the forward movement of a pump action gun to move a finger on a pivot to knock the shell out of a hole like a real gun. Remember to clean up!
i have a shotgun made
does it eject shells? How did u do it?
yes they do eject shells and its on one of my instructables.
For semi auto: they are a pain to reload, so maybe attach a pump to turn the wheel, and make things run smoother. Another idea: removable apparatus Carry around the gun's handle, mag, and bottom of the barrel (and maybe pump?). Then, through the top, add the wheel (already wound , or use the pump to do so) and top part of the barrel. You should be set for 7 shots.
I believe that bottom mags are best. it is easiest to make an uzi mag, or something simple like that. But, an angled design is much more complex. I have seen them done in handguns, but one that curves midway would be cool. Th do this, use roller coaster tubing to connect the top and bottom. then, continue as normal. Should produce an AK-ish mag. second, a removable mag is an interesting topic removable pros: easy to reload!!! realistic easy to troubleshoot cons: lower capacity (easily fixed) troublesome fixed pros: capacity simplicity reliability more versatile cons: hard to troubleshoot pain to reload
think of an M16/M4 gun. The charging handle looks like a gray rod with a yellow connector with 2 greens on each side. My idea is that it could be hooked up to a mechanism to lock in a mag. Then, add a pump and a bottom mag, and you're set.
I like pump action a lot because it is (in my opinion) the best method of building a larger gun. Here's why: normal: too slow semi: pain to reload auto: huge and bad range sling: only good for long range pump: fast reload, great potential for multiple functions, decent range

Music Interviews
For Boy George, Music And Style Is Just 'What I Do'
Boy George's style and sound are unmistakable. In 1982, the Irish Catholic singer joined a Jewish drummer, a Protestant guitar-and-keyboard player and a Jamaican bassist to form Culture Club.
The band was groundbreaking not just for its multicultural makeup, but also for its music. Culture Club combined calypso, country, reggae and pop and hit it big. Its song "Karma Chameleon" was No. 1 in 16 countries.
After Culture Club, Boy George kept recording when he could. His first solo album in 19 years, This Is What I Do, comes out Tuesday.
Boy George has always been known for his unique and different look, even getting expelled from school for it. Morning Edition host David Greene asked him what it was like growing up "different":
"Well, I hated school from the minute I got there to the minute I was thrown out. I was different. Even from the age of about 6 years old I was kind of made to feel different by other kids — you know, I was a quite pretty kid, and I got called 'girl' a lot, and 'woman' and all of that. And school is really not a place to be different. School is not a great place to have feminine features or a big nose, or to wear glasses or the wrong shoes. School is a scary place for kids. So I didn't like it, and I didn't want to be there. And it was a great day for me when they threw me out."

Holmes cannot face any legal liability for defamation in the report -- unless he improperly and falsely defamed someone. If he is telling truths, there is no liability.
So....why is he afraid and why is the City afraid to release the report? Are they afraid it does not tell the truth?
release the report! it may cost the city a lot to defend but it's worth it. true or not they can be sued that's the way our system works.
oh, yeah -- if the report is false and defamatory maybe they should just correct it and tell the truth. Rather than go around spending a few hundred thousand to defend a losing defamation suit.
""What a tangled web we weave...."
i'd bet the farm there's nothing untrue in the report--just shit that the folks in power wish wasn't true.
Shitstorm delayed is shitstorm denied!
Demand accountability, 'n shit!
Has anybody else noticed how the inwardtruth guy keeps deleting Mr. Poe's comments?
He's stopped replying, at least at this point, but from what I've seen almost half of his comments were entirely appropriate and intelligent. The host seems to continue deleting them and sustains rapid response to all others (other than Mr. Poe).
I find this irritating since this is the first time I've seen an actual serious and intelligent side of Mr. Poe. The only time I have this opportunity, it keeps being deleted. It's kinda funny how they deal with replying to actual mature debate. They don't.
Swearing is fucking wrong! (Isn't that a commandment or something?)
I'm so glad we still live in a country with democracy, accountability, and open gov't!
Actually it's sad that our slide into fascism isn't restricted to the national level :(
It's pretty pathetic that one of the most liberal cities in America is reduced to this :(
This looks especially bad in conjunction with the State of the City adress being given to a softball audience instead of tlhe City Council and the public.
Not to mention this is just the latest in a LONG series of efforts to keep OUR police unaccountable.
I thank the Stranger (ECB) for reporting on such things.
There should have been an 'and' inside those parentheses!
The only thing liberal or progressive about the city of Seattle are the citizens. You can't expect the government they elect to be. This is the U.S.A.

I have a SQL Server located in a colo center. Currently, our database is about 100Gb. Log files average about 500Mb/day, and differential backups grow by a bit less than that.
My current disaster recovery plan is: have a full backup elsewhere, take log backups every ten minutes, diffs every night. I copy the logs and diffs off to S3, so, except for the tail, they're not on the machine in case it goes completely tits up.
I can restore the full backup elsewhere, and I check occasionally to make sure I can restore the entire log chain. Usually, I'd just restore "full -> latest diffs -> logs after diff", but I do run the full set occasionally, just to make sure I can.
My question is, how often do people actually do the full backup? I can't see it being worthwhile to try and jam 100Gb into S3 every day. I'm not even sure I'd do it every week. Is there a "best practices" for this, or does it all just boil down to my own ability/desire to buy bandwidth/storage, vs. a longer recovery time if I have to apply days (or weeks) of logs.
I guess the real risk is that some log file in the chain gets corrupted, and then I'm totally screwed.

Comics writer and playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is in early talks with Warner Bros. to pen a new version of the musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is looking to develop the movie and possibly star.
Kick-Ass actress Chloë Moretz has been formally offered the title role in director Kimberly Peirce's new take on Carrie, the 1974 thriller by Stephen King.
Kimberly Peirce is in line to direct a new adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie from a script by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
The comics writer and playwright, who was brought in as a script doctor on Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, will pen the screenplay for a new adaptation of Carrie, and serve as a co-producer and writer for the hit TV series Glee.
If you thought a Spider-Man musical was weird, how about one that centers on fictional serial killer Patrick Bateman?

|Broker not delivering messages to consumer
|Fri, 02 Jun 2006 22:01:05 GMT
Hi. There've been a few posts on this forum, that broker is not delivering messages to the consumer when consumer is slower than producer. Recently I also encountered this bug in my application. I've entered Jira issue (AMQ-736) for that and a test case which reporduces this error. Can someone take a look? This bug was tested on the latest svn verson. It is very easy to reproduce it. Just put into persistant broker abaut 10000 messages and concurrently consume them whith slow consumer. After some time some messages are skipped and delivered only on consumer restart. For me this is preatty critical bug. P.S. The test case is pretty simple and straightforward. I wonder how such bug has slipped into the final release. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Broker-not-delivering-messages-to-consumer-t1725293.html#a4687640 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User forum at Nabble.com.

I would like to use this feature, but I want to make sure it's going to do what I want before I go through all the work of setting it up. I have 3 domains + 1 sub-domain, all hosted on the same server, I would like to be able to write blog posts in the main domain application of WordPress then push the info to the other sites.
I saw information about sub-domains and folders, they are in folders, but I do want them to have their own domain names.
My main domain is in the root folder with the additional domains in folders below it as well as the sub-domain.
The reason why I want to do this is because I want all the blog post to post on the main domain and certain topics to post on the sub-domains and other domains.

Ragged Mountain is a gem. The place has a laid-back, local yokel vibe with a friendly staff and surprisingly good terrain for its size.
Snowmaking operations are not aggressive here (compared to larger resorts with bigger budgets and more staff) so normally 1 or 2 trails open at a time to get the season going. The cruisers are fun but if the groomed stuff is all that's available, you'll be done early. The ski patrol folks are cool but can take a while to check things out and drop the ropes - which can happen at any time of the day. And even when there's good snow on Cabin Fever and Big Rock, they may not be open because the trail you take from those runs to the base won't be ready.
Once there is enough of a natural base, however, Ragged finally delivers. The steepest sections are often short but on a powder day I have found Raggae Glades, Birches, Sweepstakes and the gladed areas in the Ravine long enough and pitched just right to be plenty satisfying - especially for being so accessible. That's the best part: This is really the closest truly interesting, classic New England-style skiing to Manchester and Boston. And while it's just on the opposite side of I-89 from Sunapee, Ragged Mountain is a world apart in the way it feels and the company it keeps.
It's funny how other reviewers have commented on the outdated signage and trails or lifts that don't exist. Ragged's relatively new ownership has pumped some money into the mountain and given it a face lift, but there are some simple fixes that haven't (yet) happened. In some ways, time has stood still here since the resort's former life. The old Raggamuffins midway lodge sits dormant, and some signs mark runs that are always roped off, overgrown and supposedly forgotten about (Doug's Drop, Raggedy Ann, Devil's Den) - even if they're still on the map (Mikey's Run.) Not that you could get lost: there's only one base.
Another nice thing about Ragged - any advanced skier will still enjoy the greens here, which have a few fun intermediate-inclined drops (Cardigan) and good views. Don't pass up the Barnyard run with its ski-through barn.
As for lifts: The six pack chair is great. The Spear triple is slow, but relax - the ride is worth it for Flying Yankee (wonderful cruiser but widened last season for racing), the double diamond-rated entrances to the Ravine (when they're open - unfortunately rarely) and the short but sweet (albeit poorly marked) glades off of Cardigan.
The daily ticket prices are on par with larger resorts in the state but the mountain offers weekday deals, and the season pass is a great value. The lodge is comfortable and always seems spacious enough even when it's busy. Speaking of which, that's not too often: avoid the Saturday of MLK weekend. Other than that, you'll find racers here on the typical weekend day but they stick to one trail and the rest of the mountain, you'll probably have to yourself.
The two stars for "Nightlife" refer to the pleasant apres-ski offerings in the second floor of the main lodge. Otherwise, there isn't much around for lodging, bars or restaurants. This is a simple skiers' mountain and I like it that way.
Ragged is completely unpretentious and still under the radar. The owners have big plans for it but these changes are happening slowly and I hope that the mountain can retain its character - becoming profitable for them without becoming another Loon. It's a special place and is one of those mountains that, when in full operation and blessed with good snow, offers a lot to be explored and enjoyed.

Re: British boxer jailed for 7 years for manslaughter
If it wasn't strictly a case of self-defence then he certainly deserves the 7 years. The other guy is dead. 10 years would probably be better.
Hard labour.
The fact that 'many of us' have hit people before 'on a night out' doesn't excuse it at all. It's part of British culture that deserves to be stamped out anyway. And when deaths occur the penalty needs to reflect the seriousness.
This guy was obviously pretty handy, and he'd been done for hitting people before.
If you choose to live such a ****ish lifestyle, you might end up where society puts the ****s : prison.
7 years is nothing. He'll probably be out within 4.

I haven't used 3.1 but I've built custom themes for sites going up through 3.0.
My question is this: to those who are developing themes for 3.1, what is your favorite basic theme (thematic, sandbox, toolbox, etc.) on which to build your custom theme?
Mostly what I want is for the code to be clean without too much custom stuff added on top of WP's core features, so that I can build my own HTML/CSS layout and keep it relatively simple. I'm going to use menus and some widgets and basic plugins, but not much else.
I actually don't want to mess around with parent/child stuff -- typically I just modify the theme and be done with it. (Although if you think I should do otherwise, also let me know.)
I hope to get some feedback. Thanks much!

Flannel Friday
Brandi Klassen of Marshfield holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets "Doc" between wagon rides in downtown Montpelier during Flannel Friday festivities in the Capital City.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season and a day many spend at the mall or big-box stores. In an effort to persuade shoppers to spend their money closer to home, merchants in downtown Montpelier have developed a local alternative to Black Friday and dubbed it Flannel Friday. Shoppers wearing the classic Vermont attire were treated to sale prices and specials at many stores.

The New England Patriots have no experience behind Tom Brady at the quarterback position. While the same could be said for most contenders around the league, it's still important to note that if Brady goes down, the Patriots will be in trouble. There is absolutely no reason to believe that free agent journeyman Brady Quinn could be a viable short-term replacement should Brady go down, but the Patriots are kicking the tires on the former first-round pick. The Patriots worked out QB Brady Quinn on Monday. Quinn worked with OC Josh McDaniels in Denver (via @FieldYates) pic.twitter.com/HMaJzPtEI8 — NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) August 1, 2014 With Ryan Mallett and rookie second-round pick Jimmy Garoppolo as the only two viable quarterbacks behind Brady on the roster, New England thought it made sense to workout a player with some in-game NFL experience. At this point, it's safe to say Garoppolo is guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster. Mallett, a third-round pick back in 2011, is the true wildcard here. He's set to be a free agent following the 2014 season and has drawn rave reviews for his arm strength and an upgrade in mechanics, which seemed to plague him heading into the 2011 NFL draft. If Mallett bolts in free agency next spring, the Patriots won't get anything back in return. As you already know, young quarterbacks with potential are valued assets around the NFL. New England may very well be considering trading Mallett and inserting Quinn as the No. 3 quarterback behind Brady and Garoppolo. It might be a less-than-ideal scenario, but something that seems to make sense at this point. Remember, Quinn worked with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels when they both were with the Denver Broncos. There is a match here. Quinn, long considered a bust, has thrown 12 touchdowns compared to 17 interceptions in 20 career starts. He last threw a regular season pass with the Kansas City Chiefs back in 2012.
