Subversion の portupgrade で mod_dav が二回 load されるようになってしまう
表題の通りなのだが, Apache22 で mod_dav を使えるように設定しておくと, Subversion のアップデートの時, httpd.conf の LoadModule のところに, mod_dav が二回定義され,そのため Apache のスタート時に 2回目の mod_dav の宣言以降の LoadModule されるモジュールが読み込まれないことが 2回起こった(何か日本語が変)
httpd.conf では宣言するモジュールの順番によってはモジュールがひいては Apache が動かないという事態が発生するらしい.ここで,筆者の httpd.conf のLoadModule 部分を晒しておく.

The difference is that hack & slash games usually focus on combat, whereas Action RPGs focus on character development, story plot and character leveling. By temporarily blocking connections to and from their Xbox 360, they will appear frozen to everybody else in the game but in reality are actually still moving around and playing locally. No one likes being ripped off, and as long as these broken games are on the shelves at your local retailer I'm sad to say that's exactly what is happening. Though Pleiades started on top with a 3-0 run to begin the game, Seaweed rallied to take half 7-6.

Digging from PCPro, through Engadget and finally thanks to Engadget Chinese, I found some significative picture of the super cheap super light Asus Notebook, sporting a Linux OS (but a WinXP driver set is on its way), 1 to 32 GB SSD. The price tag is announced $ 199; as of today, corresponding to 147,407 EUR, roughly 1 EUR cheaper than Windows Vista Home Basic.
Let's wait for this magic box to be released (August 2007), I want one.
From the pictures you can see some specs (guessed by me):
- Full notebook keyboard
- Touchpad with one (one?) button
- LAN adapter (left side)
- 3 USB ports (1 left + 2 right)
- 1 VGA out (right)
- 1 SD card reader (? what's the little opening in the right side?)
- monitor roughly 9'' wide, 800 x 480.
I definitely want one.

The Secretary for Education & Chief Executive is the person incharge of the Ministry of Education. It is important for them to be aware of this issue. You may like to use the following letter as a starting point for your own letter. If you are short on time, you can try sending them an email linking to and supporting the content of this page. The Ministry of Education's general inquiries email address is email@example.com
Acting Secretary for Education & Chief Executive: Peter Hughes CNZM
Ministry of Education
PO Box: 1666
Wellington 6140
Dear Mr Hughes,
I am writing to you to express my deep concern regarding religious instruction in our secular state primary schools. The 'Nelson Clause' (section 78 of the Education Act 1964) is creating a systemic and very worrying situation whereby children are segregated by faith, leading directly to discrimination and the routine disregard of human rights. This clause enables religious groups to erode the secular nature of our schools through fictitious "closure" whilst classes in religious instruction are held. In contrast, secularism, originally chosen for NZ schools because of religious tensions, helps foster tolerance and protects religious freedom by providing children with a religiously neutral place where they can learn side by side. Religious instruction (RI) presents a narrow Christian perspective and requires parents to declare their personal religious views in relation to it. Parents then have to make the unenviable choice between setting their children apart from their peers or allowing volunteers to proselytise to their children. It is of growing concern that our ever more multicultural society is poorly served by this. I propose that the Nelson Clause be repealed to protect children from discrimination and proselytising, as well as preserve religious freedom.
My family's introduction to the issue of RI in state primary schools was atypical in that our children's school actually informed us there were bible classes each week. All children are automatically included in RI and schools are not required to inform parents or let them know that opting out is an option. We opted out from the beginning and were perhaps a little naive to accept the assurances of the principal that the school would respect this. It turned out the school was heavily religious, and like a lot of parents throughout the country, we found ourselves in a very difficult situation – trying to advocate for our children with a school that has close ties with the local church and a principal and Board that were unwilling to address the issues raised by concerned parents re Bible in Schools (BiS).
What I was to find was that it is typical for those children who are opted out to be repeatedly put back in these classes against the parent's wishes. Be it a "mistake" or "misunderstanding" this happens far too often to be credible as either. This happened to us several times, as our children were made to sort books and the like at the back of the room whilst the classes were held. Then the detention-like work started, as our son was put to washing dishes in the staffroom. We put a stop to this but found the most troubling developments were still to come. The repeated badgering of our son for not believing what some of his classmates believed got worse and worse. He was told he would go to hell. He was subjected to bullying that would not have occurred if those children were not having their beliefs endorsed by the school, and by not participating in RI, our children were set up for discrimination. The anxiety that he was suffering and the prospect of ongoing discrimination from children and staff prompted to us change schools. Fortunately, our children are both settling in well now that RI is out of the picture; however, I dread that RI will follow us to our new school as the Churches Education Commission (CEC), who runs BiS, seeks to spread its influence to as many state schools as possible.
I have spoken with many other parents who have had a range of negative experiences around the same issue, and examination of the issue from an ethical standpoint compels me to seek the repeal of section 78 of the Education Act – which the CEC's own website refers to as a "loophole in the law" that grants them access to primary school children. It is often claimed that the volunteers for BiS are not trying to proselytise. This is blatantly untrue, as the CEC has celebrated the conversion of an entire family through the child, and refer to our state primary schools as "underexploited mission fields"; when interviewed by a reporter for Stuff.co.nz, however, they claimed that non-christians "misunderstand" the word "mission" as it is used in this example. On their own website they prefer the language of "sowing seeds" of Christianity in these children. The sole purpose for the existence of the CEC is promoting Christian religious instruction in schools throughout New Zealand, and the wording of the Education Act does not allow for religious education, only instruction. The Human Rights Commission's report, Religion in Schools; Questions and Concerns (2009) defines religious instruction as carrying "an implicit or explicit endorsement of a particular faith and/or encourages students to engage with and make decisions about accepting it on a personal level". In contrast, "religious education does not require students to engage with the religions being studied at a personal level or make choices about accepting those beliefs [...and...] can take place as part of the school curriculum". The CEC certainly does not present other world views, in a comparative way or otherwise. It is clearly the "unchurched" children that they are most interested in gaining access to. This is not teaching values or nurturing tolerance in our communities, it is evangelism.
Disingenuous claims that RI is open to every religion denies the fact that Christian groups are all but unrivalled in organisation and interest in evangelising children in state schools. This presents children with the impression that there is only one endorsed perspective and that it is fact.
For approximately the last year, the Keep Religion Out Of Schools (KROOS) facebook page has been a place where issues arising from RI have been debated. This is the public forum, whilst the Secular Education Network page is an open group providing support for those affected by RI. The first and most prevalent misconception that people have regarding the proposed removal of the Nelson Clause is that we are seeking to deny children information about religious viewpoints. This is demonstrably not the case, as secularism does more to protect religious freedom than endorsing one religion over all other religious and non-religious world views. When a school, as an extension of the state, uses its position of authority to endorse a religion, it is undermining the welfare of the students who are not having their beliefs validated. This can take the form of discrimination for those who do not conform, or the silence of children and their families hoping to not be singled out for discrimination. It divides the students unnecessarily and can lead to emotional anguish for children as they realise their beliefs are not welcomed by the school. Some children find RI classes deeply disturbing; I know of one child who suffered terrible nightmares caused by RI teachings and had to be moved to a different school. When the parents opt them out the child then becomes the object of discrimination. This should not be happening. It is unacceptable that the only place we are required to publicly state our religious position is in our children's secular state schools.
There is much discussion by Secular Education Network (SEN) members on KROOS in favour of education about belief systems, religious and non-religious, in a social studies-type framework at an appropriate age. Primary school children do not possess the sophistication to critically assess religious material presented to them – after all, many still believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. This does not preclude telling children that there are different beliefs and encouraging them to respect others.
The second concern that some people have is that doing away with RI will leave a gap in the promotion of values. Proponents of RI say that we need to teach Christian values to all children to stave off moral and societal decay. This kind of scaremongering has precious little to do with factual reference to social indicators, as RI cannot be linked with statistically significant positive outcomes for society. Claiming that lawlessness and teen pregnancy rates require us to get back to basic Christian values is ridiculous. A brief perusal of statistics on teen pregnancy rates and crime do not support these assumptions. Teen pregnancy rates have been at roughly the same level since the 1980s and the NZ Police statistics for the 2010-2012 period, show no escalation of crime in almost all categories. (It is debatable that RI classes even focus on values. My examination of the material provided in my daughter's Year 1 and 2 class showed a particular emphasis on "God is really, really powerful" and topics such as rising from the dead). Being honest, kind, diligent etc hardly requires small children to make a personal decision about accepting Jesus as their "personal saviour".
Many do not realise that values are already part of the NZ Curriculum. Some RI providers, keen to avoid opposition, trade on the 'values' label for their bible-based classes to obscure their religious nature (eg. Values in Action run by the Life In Focus Trust). This tactic follows the American example, but as values are part of the curriculum here and the Nelson Clause only allows for RI, it is clear that these classes are not about values in a broad ethics sense.
It is often pointed out by those in favour of RI that New Zealand has a Christian heritage, and they argue that Christianity deserves a privileged position as a dominant religion in our state schools. New Zealand is a multicultural society, where we have no state religion and our state schools are nominally secular. All children are meant to have access to state funded education that does not discriminate on the basis of religion (or anything else).
All of the above reasons do not even begin to address the workload that teachers are trying to get through in teaching what is in the curriculum. RI takes up 4.5 days of school time per year in each school it is in. Better academic outcomes can reasonably be anticipated without the interruption. I refer you to the excerpt below from a maths teacher's blog (in which you are mentioned) where she longs for even 10 extra minutes in the day to lift student achievement and yet knows that that time would be coveted for many other subjects as well.
So far each of my attempts to address this problem have been obstructed by either personal pro-evangelical politics or the jurisdictional problem of the schools being legally "closed" during RI. I have written to the Minister and the Ministry of Education. My complaint was handled by Pauline Barnes who, with her husband, set up the Open Doors Foundation in Romania – an evangelical christian organisation. Not surprisingly, she was unsympathetic. I wrote to Hekia Parata again to confirm that Pauline did in fact represent her position and I received a letter to the effect that there is no intention of repealing the relevant sections of the Act (see attached).
My next recourse was to contact Dr Graham Stoop at the Education Review Office. Dimension 5 of ERO's Evaluation Indicators for School Reviews attempts to ensure a "safe and inclusive school culture". However, as schools or individual classrooms are legally "closed" for the duration of RI and because RI is not part of the curriculum, it is not within ERO's purview to assess the impact of RI at any school. Since RI is not part of the NZ Curriculum, neither the Ministry nor ERO are willing or able to challenge it, let alone monitor its impact. It is worth noting that the Ministry does not keep any record of which schools run RI and neither do they check to see that it is conducted in accordance with the law. Getting accurate figures is difficult, since the CEC is not inclined to release that information. Around 750 state primary schools participate in RI, sometimes with the programme so entrenched that successive Boards don't even realise that it is not part of the curriculum and that the school is closed for the duration.
So what about the school Boards? This is the recommended avenue to take such grievances, but as discussed in my attached letter, the CEC member churches openly encourage their congregations to get onto their school Boards so that they are in a position to facilitate and support religious instruction at their school. Parents left with no formal recourse except the school boards are put in an impossible position. This is almost certainly what I encountered at my children's first school, where I tried to get the Board to either stop BiS or poll the parents to see whether there was a mandate for it to continue. Surveying the parents could have helped establish whether parents want RI to be during normal class hours, or treated like any other extra-curricular activity (ie outside of normal class time and opt in rather than opt out). The Board refused. What's more, a school board convinced that RI should be allowed would in many cases prefer dissenters to find another school rather than be challenged about it. It is exceedingly difficult to negotiate with a school when this is the case, for fear of how the attitudes of staff will impact your child. The Secular Education Network's facebook page has many examples of this sort of situation happening to families throughout the country.
Some parents have resorted to appealing to the Human Rights Commission and the Ombudsman; however, whilst indicative of the seriousness of this issue, it is primarily to address their individual situations rather than the issue as a whole. According to the 2006 Census approximately half of all New Zealanders have no religion and the current Census is expected to continue the trend where the non-religious will for the first time comprise more than half of the population. Non-Christian religions have seen large increases in number in the 2006 Census, particularly Sikh (up 83%), Islam (up 52.6%) and Hindu (up 61.8%). Unless the State is willing to disregard the beliefs of non-religious people, non-evangelical Christians and other religious groups, ending this unethical intrusion of religion into our secular state schools must be prioritised. A change in the Education Act is necessary to achieve this. It is not the 1960s anymore. Secularism is not the same as promoting atheism – it takes no position on the existence of deities – and only secularism can provide a religiously neutral environment in schools, allowing families to practice their chosen religion at home, in church, Sunday School, synagogue, temple etc.
When you critically evaluate all the arguments for RI, all that remains is a "just let them" attitude. That is not a valid basis to continue the status quo. The volunteers might be nice people, but that is not a reason to carry on when there are many examples of RI causing the kind of harm I've discussed here. If the pro-RI are worried for religious reasons about children from unchurched families, that is something they have to bear. It is not up to religious groups to decide for other peoples' children that secular state schools are theirs to infiltrate and use for indoctrination. We should be outraged by this; many are.
The religious lobby has always been a powerful one but it is clear that attitudes in New Zealand are changing. The support for the Marriage Reform amendment shows that ordinary New Zealanders are no longer content to allow religious rhetoric to dominate when real human issues are at stake.
I realise it is the rare individual in public office that would take such a contentious issue on and lobby for change. I must point out that by virtue of the ease of social networking, concerned parents are finally in the position to be able to support each other as well as pool their knowledge and resources towards the lobbying of this cause. The Keep Religion Out Of Schools page currently has around 6,000 followers. The Secular Education Network has around 500. The numbers keep going up as exposure of this issue grows. My hope is that you will be able to assist me and the many other parents concerned with repealing the relevant sections of the Education Act so that our schools may be truly secular.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. What follows are quotes from other members of SEN and a selection of articles that I feel articulate the issue particularly well. Also attached are the letters I mentioned above. I look forward to hearing from you about what you can do to address this problem.
Yours sincerely,

The Democrat War On Women
April 16, 2012 Leave a comment
I was checking out an article on a very left leaning blog earlier today. The article began by describing how difficult women have had it in the past, and it retraced history to show how women gradually fought to acquire rights that should have been theirs from the get go. Limbaugh even discussed it in his show today, and he played some tunes that featured women singing about how their place was under the thumb of a man and what not. Such a completely different mindset back then…crazy for those of us who didn't live in it to even imagine that a time existed where women were essentially treated as second class citizens.
Then I got to the end of this article, and the point seemed to be that Republicans long for that time where they could keep a woman under their thumbs and control her. It was disappointing to see the article take this turn, because up to that point (aside from the obvious pointed intro), it was a great retelling of history and what women have had to struggle through just to get where they are today. It occurred to me that there are many democrats (specifically and locally, Kaye Fissinger seems to be one of the most guilty of this) that are trying to paint the generally conservative view of life at conception as an attack on women and all Republican's desire to control every aspect of a women's life and body. It is a much more poignant rallying cry to say that your opponent is against you personal and wants nothing more to control your life, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous. The truth is much closer to "many conservatives are pro life, and it isn't right that some conservative entities are being forced to act against their beliefs on contraception and abortion". Much like the cries of rampant racism after the Trayvon Martin incident that were artificially created and fanned by the media and those intent on further dividing us, so is this tired use of "the Republican war on women" equally as false and divisive. The issue is a pro-life one, not a "control of women" one.
Ms. Fissinger also taught me one of my favorite phrases: Real eyes realize real lies. And the Republican war on women, as she would say, is a doozy.
Edited to add: Mary Pitt, I respectfully disagree with your response to the above article. Most conservatives really do think it is about contraception, not "keeping the uppity women under the thumbs of the patriarchs". I'm sorry if you lived that life in the past, but no one is asking you or anyone else to be there again. Time to let it go and stop trying to create an issue where there really is none.

From page 46 of Bird Brain:
There are a number of tools that birds use when migrating long distances. For example, one way that nocturnal birds find their way is by using the stars to navigate. Experiments with migratory birds in planetariums have found that birds learn celestial maps based on the position of certain major constellations, and their position relative to the poles. When exposed to a simulation of the northern hemisphere sky in the spring, birds will orient north, and vice versa.
Bird Brain
An Exploration of Avian Intelligence
Nathan Emery
With a foreword by Frans de Waal
Birds have not been known for their high IQs, which is why a person of questionable intelligence is sometimes called a "birdbrain." Yet in the past two decades, the study of avian intelligence has witnessed dramatic advances. From a time when birds were seen as simple instinct machines responding only to stimuli in their external worlds, we now know that some birds have complex internal worlds as well. This beautifully illustrated book provides an engaging exploration of the avian mind, revealing how science is exploding one of the most widespread myths about our feathered friends—and changing the way we think about intelligence in other animals as well.
Bird Brain looks at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and describes the extraordinary behaviors that different types of avian intelligence give rise to. It offers insights into crows, jays, magpies, and other corvids—the "masterminds" of the avian world—as well as parrots and some less-studied species from around the world. This lively and accessible book shows how birds have sophisticated brains with abilities previously thought to be uniquely human, such as mental time travel, self-recognition, empathy, problem solving, imagination, and insight.
Written by a leading expert and featuring a foreword by Frans de Waal, renowned for his work on animal intelligence, Bird Brain shines critical new light on the mental lives of birds.

The first week of June next year will be far from quiet in Whistler Village.
From June 5 to June 9, 2009, over 2,000 municipal mayors and councillors from across Canada will descend upon Whistler for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference.
"It's the biggest gathering of Canadian political leaders," said Councillor Bob Lorriman, who is the local representative working with the FCM for next year's conference.
"It is a pretty exciting thing, but it is pretty daunting."
The conference will take place approximately eight months before the 2010 Winter Olympics and marks an important opportunity for Whistler to showcase the Games to political leaders across the country.
"It is an opportunity to engage other communities, so when the Games happen, they'll have a knowledge of Whistler," said Lorriman, who is pushing to make the Olympics the theme of the conference.
Lorriman added often political bigwigs like Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Gordon Campbell come out to FCM conferences, heightening national media attention on both the host city and the event.
The idea to host the FCM conference in Whistler first came about in 2002, when former-councillor Nick Davies and current Mayor Ken Melamed returned from an FCM conference in Banff.
"We came back with the idea of hosting this," said Melamed from his office in municipal hall.
"Back then, we knew it was something we could achieve, and we had the knowledge for some time that we needed to reach out to the rest of Canada and tell our story and show our pride at being part of Canada."
To finance the conference, the Resort Municipality of Whistler has budgeted $500,000, with most of that money coming from the hotel tax. This year's conference in Quebec City cost $700,000.
Lorriman said more revenue will also be generated via the hotel tax, since all delegates will require hotel accommodation during their stay in Whistler.
"It is not enough to cover the conference, but for this time of year, it will generate a lot more revenue than usual," he said, adding the large number of delegates also equals more revenue for restaurants and retail stores than typically expected during June.
The largest problem with hosting the FCM in Whistler will be space, said Lorriman. This year's Quebec conference had a total of 2,200 delegates, but the Telus Conference Centre only holds 1,500 people. To deal with this, Lorriman said a tent will likely be erected in the adjacent parking lot.

NS preps new Memphis yard siteWritten by Administrator
The land where Norfolk Southern wants to build an intermodal yard was annexed July 13 by the town of Rossville, Tenn., paving the way for the railroad's proposed multimillion-dollar, multi-acre facility, the Memphis Daily News reports. Only one hurdle remains—getting the land rezoned industrial—before the Norfolk, Va.-based company receives the official green light to begin one of the largest economic investments in Fayette County's history.Although that final step won't be resolved until next week, Norfolk Southern CEO Wick Moorman is expected to confirm that the company has selected a site in South Fayette County for the new yard, dubbed the Memphis Regional Intermodal Terminal. At 2 p.m. July 16, at the Bank of Fayette County in Piperton, Moorman and other railroad representatives will be joined by a host of state officials, including Gov. Phil Bredesen, to announce the terminal will be built on about 500 acres in the newly annexed land in southwestern Rossville. Done dealThe city this week annexed nearly 1,600 acres in Rossville's urban growth zone, stretching from just south of Tenn. 57 down to the state line. Much of the land is owned by former Direct General Insurance Co. owner William Adair, who sold that company and subsequently paid $28 million for 3,200 acres in Fayette County and Marshall County, Miss.Adair bought the land with plans to develop it into a mixed-use subdivision called Piperton Hills. That project is still on the table, but Adair decided to sell a portion of his acreage to the railroad for the intermodal terminal in response to Norfolk Southern's original site location, which county residents opposed.The initial site was north of Tenn. 57 between Rossville and Moscow near the Wolf River. Locals reacted negatively to that site because of increased truck traffic along 57 and potential damage to the Wolf River. Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern began looking at alternative sites.State Rep. Barrett Rich, R-Somerville, said Norfolk Southern easily could have started building at that location (dubbed the Windyke site) because of the eminent domain that railroads possess."Instead, Norfolk Southern, when contacted by the South Fayette Alliance and the people in Fayette County, did what they could to be a good neighbor, come into our good graces and look for other property," Rich said. "They knew (Windyke) was going to put an extraordinary amount of distress on Rossville and that the state would have to four-lane 57 highway. They listened to the concerns and they went out looking for another property."Norfolk Southern will now allow its option on the Windyke property to expire and will move forward with the land owned by Adair, who declined to disclose the terms of the deal.Also, railroad officials declined comment prior to the event, but the intermodal yard is a key component of Norfolk Southern's Crescent Corridor, a 2,500-mile rail network linking the southeastern and northeastern U.S. The Memphis yard, using a combination of trucks and trains to move goods into and out of the area, will serve as a critical western gateway for the corridor, whose $2.5 billion price tag is being funded by the railroad and the government.The overall economic impact of the yard on Fayette County and the surrounding area, including Memphis, won't be known for some time. First, the completion of the facility will take years. Second, the true benefit of the yard might come from ancillary businesses such as warehouses and distribution centers that tend to sprout near intermodal yards, and the development of those could be slow because of the sagging economy.Rossville Mayor James Gaither said the development of the yard will provide some property tax base for the city and county, but beyond that he wasn't sure of the direct impact for the economy or for jobs. All he knows is the annexation issue cleared the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Also, the first reading of the land's rezoning is complete with the second scheduled for Monday. Once that is finished, the next step is for the railroad to submit a site plan before the lengthy construction process can begin.He also knows that the Adair site is a much better choice than Windyke, which might have resulted in a groundswell of protests like the railroad is seeing with intermodal site selections in Alabama and East Tennessee.

I have been in Lincoln since 1980, so Lincoln and Nebraska are home. I have a had a camera for a long time, but work always got in the way of using it, so it sat on a shelf for a long time. Now that I have a little more time, I am going to do as much as I can to feed the creative side of my brain. I also enjoy Calligraphy and like to incorporate that art into my photos whenever they seem to fit. I love looking at photos, and letting my mind wander into the image, especially landscapes and barns. Since I spend so much time in churches, many of my images reflect the tranquility provided there. One of my mentors is a saint that lived over 1500 years ago, St. Benedict. One of the things he taught was balance in life. I feel this is something we all need, and I am slowly learning how important that balance is to take of the body, mind, and soul.

Clinical Trials for Alzheimer's Disease Preventative Drug to Begin Early 2013
After an announcement by federal officials approving clinical trials for the drug Crenezumab, researchers searching for a way to treat Alzheimer's Disease are gearing up for a rare study that will allow them to test a therapy for a genetically predestined disease - before its onset.
"This is really incredible," said UC Santa Barbara neuroscientist Ken Kosik, who is the Harriman Professor of Neuroscience Research in the Department of Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, and co-director of UCSB's Neuroscience Research Institute. He, along with several other Alzheimer's experts in the United States and Colombia, will be conducting the five-year, $100 million study, starting early next year.
The scientists will be drawing their study participants from a large family in Medellín, Colombia. It's a family of about 3,000, with the unfortunate distinction of coming down with the disease early in life — onset begins at around 49 years of age. Unlike the kind of Alzheimer's that strikes late in life, this particular form has been traced to a specific genetic mutation.

Chocolate Ganache Tart (Halloween Ghost Dessert)
The girls have reached the end of the first quarter, so their school gave them a day off. With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it would be fun for all of us to work on ideas for spooky desserts that they'll be able to share with their friends. It didn't take a lot of arm twisting to convince them!
I decided that we should make a simple chocolate tart and decorate it with ghosts. The tart shell is a shortbread crust that I topped with a semi-sweet chocolate ganache. To enhance the flavor of the chocolate, I added a little coffee. I let the girls pipe the top with vanilla buttercream frosting and create faces using chocolate sprinkles. As an added bonus, this dessert is egg and nut-free. We'll make smaller versions at the end of the month for when they share them with friends.
Yields: 6 servings1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ cup cold water
1-3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee (optional)
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup vanilla buttercream frosting (see tips)
1 tablespoon colored sprinkles, as needed
For the tart shell:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Grease an 11-inch diameter non-stick tart pan (preferably a loose-bottomed one) with a thin layer of butter.
Make sure the butter is chilled. Dice 7 tablespoons.
In a bowl, combine the flour, 7 tablespoons cold diced butter, salt and sugar. Mix using the back of fork (or a stainless-steel pastry blender) until it forms sandy crumbs of butter, sugar and flour. Slowly add cold water and blend until it forms a dough. Do NOT over-mix. Cover with a towel and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, transfer the dough onto a pastry board lined with a sheet of parchment paper (plastic wrap works fine too). Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough like a sandwich. Using a rolling pin, even out the dough to a 13-inch disk.
Dust a little flour over the pie mold. Top the mold with the disk of dough. Press the dough into the edges of the mold (I use the tip of a chopstick). Prick the dough with a fork. Line the dough with a piece of parchment paper and top with ceramic pie weights (or dried beans).
Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes.minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature. Remove the pie weights and discard the piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
For the chocolate filling (ganache):
Over a pot of simmering water, create a "double boiler" by placing a stainless-steel bowl filled with the semi-sweet chocolate. Make sure the bowl circumference is larger than the pot, so there isn't any splatter of water in the chocolate. Slowly melt, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat; the chocolate will slowly finish melting when the cream is added.
In a small saucepan, heat the cream. Bring to a near boil. Add coffee. Turn off the heat and immediately pour over the chocolate. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Stir well until the mixture is uniform. The texture should be smooth and shiny.
Assembly time:
Fill the tart shell with the warm chocolate ganache. Let cool to room temperature until the filling sets (about 1 to 2 hours).
When the chocolate is set, place the vanilla buttercream frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe immediately onto the chocolate tart, starting with a small circle and finishing with a mound of frosting on top.
Decorate the frosting with chocolate sprinkles, forming ghost faces (I used fish bone tweezers to place the sprinkles).
Serve with hot tea or pumpkin spice lattes.
Bon appétit!
When creating the little ghosts, make sure the chocolate ganache has set, otherwise the frosting will collapse.
You can make the crust in advance and store it in the refrigerator overnight. The dough will be easier to roll and won't be crumbly.
Little reminder on how to make vanilla buttercream frosting: In a bowl, combine 1 stick of butter (at room temperature), 1-½ cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cream and ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Mix well. Voilà!Published By: on October 20, 2011.

A Fictitious Business Name Statement must be filed if the business name chosen is different from the proprietor's legal name. In general, if a business name does not have the last name of all the owners, or differs from the incorporation documents or implies greater ownership, a Fictitious Business Name Statement is involved. For instance, adding words such as "and company", "son/daughter", and "associates" implies greater ownership and is treated as an assumed name
To Use a Fictitious Business Name.
If a Fictitious Business Name Statement is required, the following actions should be taken:
- Check With the County Clerk to do a fictitious business name search to be sure no one in the county already has that name. You should also check with the Secretary of State to check that no corporations use the name as well.
- Publish the Fictitious Business Name Statement in a newspaper of general circulation in the County where the principal place of business is located once a week for four successive weeks.
- File an affidavit of publication with the County Clerk within 30 days of publication. All filings are done through the County rather than the city.

What's a blog hop? I was asking the same question just a few months ago, when I first heard about Kristy @ Runaway Bridal Planner's upcoming blog hop! Well it turns out, blog hops are a super-fun way to meet other like-minded bloggers. While I've never hosted one myself, I have participated in Kristy's last two hops/loops, and I have to tell you, a blog hop is a ton of fun! A blog hop is kind of like a two-week party where you get to meet each and every one of the participants. Each day, we hop over to a few more blogs, make some new friends, and get to learn about one another. I made so many wonderful friends during the last hop, and I'm so excited to see some new faces this time around!
So for those of you who are visiting my site today from the blog hop, welcome! Back in October, I made some major changes to this website. I really wanted a website that encompassed everything that I'm passionate about. For the most part, I blog all things business, organization, goal setting, fitness, and healthy eating. Yes, my blog has a lot of moving parts, but so does my life :)
So who is Rachel McMichael? What am I all about? Well, I'm...
- a business coach {who helps female entrepreneurs get on the right track},
- a unique personal trainer {as in, the kind who doesn't actually LOVE working out, but does it because I know it's important},
- a toddler mom {to my beautiful little princess},
- a pastor's wife {married to the man of my dreams},
- a CPA {accounting is where it all began!},
- a CPT {that's the fancy acronym for certified personal trainer},
- co-founder of Pinterest Academy {because every blogger and business owner should totally be on Pinterest},
- the queen of organization {I love a good printable}
- obsessed with all-things goal setting,
and in my free time.... well, who am I kidding.... ha!
Seriously though - I find so much joy in blogging and in the blogging community, and I'm SO excited to get to know each and every new face this month!!!
@@A blog hop is like a big party - come join ours today! #bloghop@@
Have you participated in a blog hop before? If we haven't met, I'd love to hear about you! And if we have - tell me what you've been up to these past few months!
Excited to make some new friends today!
XOXO, Rachel

|Artist's rendition of me trying to finish a short story. SPOILER: I'm not Cthulhu.
So last week I was working on this short story that I was really sure I could finish off nice and quick, no problem, and totalling something pathetic like 100 words a day. I have never slogged so hard at something that should have been so simple. I'd already written the story, a few years ago. I just needed to throw in a sex scene and change the ending slightly and it would have been good to go. That was my first Anti-Nano goal, after all: finish and submit this story.
And yesterday* I sat there trying really hard to finish this stupid sex scene and I realised I could not give fewer fucks about the scene, the story or the characters. And that if I forced myself to keep trying to finish it, I'd end up working on it all month and having nothing to show at the end, because I just do not care about it.
So I shut the file, opened up Nightmare Moon (which I'm sure I've mentioned, if not in detail), and promptly wrote 3454 words. Just to put that in some kind of context, I don't think I've written more than 1000 words in a single session all this year. It's come very late in the year, but I've remembered my resolution from earlier in the year - to write what I love, not what I think I should write. And what I love right now is Nightmare Moon, so that's now my official Anti-Nano project. I haven't set a firm daily word count, because I can't do 3k+ every day, but I am aiming to write every day.
I'm following the grand old Anti-Nano tradition of progress updates on Mondays and Fridays, and snippet-sharing on Wednesdays, more to hold myself accountable than anything else. So if you want a little look at Nightmare Moon, come back in a couple of days!
*I know technically I should have started Anti-Nano on the 1st November, but I boldly chose to drink wine with a friend instead.

Celebrity Hair - How to Get It
Everyone loves celebrity hair. It seems like most famous people never have a bad hair day. Okay, aside from Donald Trump. What's their secret? Is it in their genes, or do they have secret weapons against bad hair days? While some people may genuinely have smooth, lustrous hair naturally, the majority of people you see with envy-inducing hair are the product of excellent styling and hair products and tools, mixed with a good stylist and a great haircut. Oh yeah, and sprinkle in some dietary supplements and a good diet rich in hair-friendly nutrients. This equation results in fabulous, silky, vibrant hair that will be the envy of many. So, what are the secrets to the healthy and beautiful locks of celebrities? As previously mentioned, the selection of hair products and hair styling tools is crucial, no matter what you've heard. Not only that, but tendency to use too little product in an effort toward conservation is a common mistake. If you are using a hair creme or gel designed to smooth the hair or make curls less frizzy and more uniform, do not skimp. Skimping on the products will reduce their effectiveness. Another good tip used by hairstylists and recommended by several top beauticians is to periodically use a vinegar rinse on your hair. The acid in the vinegar helps to rinse away residue on the hair left by dirt and styling products, and leaves the hair shiny and smooth due to the acid content. It may not smell too pleasant, but it really works to clean the hair and remove the residue that causes dullness. Want Straight, Shiny and Smooth Hair? If you're looking to get straight, manageable and shiny hair, there are some excellent styling tools that were previously only used by high profile celebrity stylists at a pretty penny that are now available for sale online and in salons. These hair straightening irons are made of material that does not damage the hair with hight heat, but actually helps seal the cuticle and make the hair appear shinier and healthier, while keeping it smooth for hours. The hair dryer you use is also very important if you're looking for a straight and smooth style. Be sure to pick one that says it uses Ionic technology, and also make sure the dryer has at least 1875 watts of power. Any less than that, and you will find that you are drying your hair longer, and it will look drier and more brittle because of the longer use. As far as shampoos and conditioners go, I would not recommend choosing a shampoo that boasts "clarifying" or "formulated for oily hair". These types of formulas usually produce a lot of lather and really feel like they're cleaning your head and hair, but really they strip your hair of the natural oils they need to stay healthy and shiny and will make your hair more brittle. Instead, opt for a shampoo that is formulated for normal to dry hair. Then, even if you have oily hair or an oily scalp, at least you are still getting the cleansing you need without the stripping and dryness. The same theory should be followed for your conditioner. Conditioners that have moisturizing ingredients and are advertised as adding shine and manageability are your best options. These formulas are usually targeted to seal the individual strands of hair and protect them from humidity, frizz and split ends. When preparing your hair for a blowing dry after cleansing and conditioning, be sure to use a wide tooth comb rather than a brush when it is wet. This avoids a lot of breakage. Also, when blowing out the hair, use a natural brush that is as large around as you can find. The larger the brush used in the blowout, the straighter and shinier your hair will be. A good recommendation followed by some of today's most famous women at the advice of their stylists is to sleep on a satin pillowcase. Doing this assures that you are not causing friction and split ends at night. Not only that, you will wake up with hair that is almost exactly as you left it at night, since the satin material allows your hair to glide smoothly without damage or drastic displacement as you move your head around in your sleep. Another recommendation is to take a good dietary supplement, more specifically one geared toward nail and hair growth and health. These hair supplements can really give you a boost in the internal nutrients such as biotin and amino acids that your hair needs to stay glossy and lustrous. Follow these guidelines, and I can assure you, it will give you the power to achieve the hair you've always wanted. And, of course, it doesn't hurt to have "good hair genes".

Lovely and easy to grow, they provide astonishing autumn colour
Viburnums are shrubs from the Northern Hemisphere, grown for their attractive leaves, often scented flowers and showy berries. Few of the 150 species are grown in our gardens, but they do include some of our commonest shrubs such as evergreen V. tinus and the winter-flowering V. bodnantense 'Dawn'. Most are hardy and can be used as specimen shrubs or screens.
The berries will attract fruit-eating birds and bring life to your garden. The evergreens are useful in shade and the deciduous kinds can give your garden rich autumn tones before the leaves drop. Plant the berried kinds with silver-barked birch and red-stemmed cornus. For a complete autumn display, grow a late clematis such as C. orientalis up them for extra colour and contrasting fluffy seed heads.
Viburnums are tolerant of a wide range of soil types, though chalky soils do not suit V. betulifolium. A bright spot is best for good berry production, especially of the deciduous types. Pruning is not necessary. Light pruning can be done in spring, though it may reduce flowering and berry production. For lots of berries, it's best to plant more than one plant of each type to ensure pollination.

14 Reviews| Average: 4.8 out of 5
Without question, the most famous recruiter ad on record is that timeless classic depicting a stern and strangely muscular, though avuncular, old man with a starry top hat, frosty pointed beard, and fiercely pointed finger aiming right at you. It quickly becomes apparent, the gesture so intensely commanding, that his message would be painfully clear even had the copywriter chosen to omit the caption: I want you.
