"What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism."
Octavio Paz
"Pay no attention to what the critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic."
Jean Sibelius
"Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes."
Elvis Presley
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt
"To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility -- these are marks of maturity and graciousness."
William Arthur Ward
"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you."
"I've been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?"
Bill Clinton
"I do not resent criticism, even when, for the sake of emphasis, it parts for the time with reality."
Winston Churchill
"I like criticism, but it must be my way."
Mark Twain
"The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews."
William Faulkner

Interested in a Career in Education? Four Questions to Ask
This information can assist you in making the best decision possible to reach your goal: To start or continue a career in education. In the end, we hope you will choose the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM) for your education, but even if you do not, we want you to be informed. It's better that way.
When the college talks about networking, do they mean people meeting
The internet is a great invention. And at
USFSM, we use the internet for both online and in-person
classes. But our networking doesn't stop there. Area teachers,
principals, district superintendents, and hiring officers are in
our classes, serve on our advisory boards, and interact with our
students often so they get to know you. In the end, computers
don't hire people--people do. In our programs, we want you to
meet and get to know those people.
When they call their faculty members "Doctor," do they
mean experts in the field they teach?
Colleges of education have a lot of doctors. But you
wouldn't want them treating your case of the sniffles. It's not
their area of expertise. In the same way, look closely at (1)
in which field they have their doctorates and (2) where they
earned the Ph.D. or Ed.D. A doctorate in "higher education"
means you know how to run a college. A doctorate in "Childhood
Education" or "Elementary Education" means you know about the
most effective ways of teaching children. Take a look at where
the faculty got their doctorates, too, and compare those to the
U.S. News and World Report Rankings of
Best Education Schools. Having various high ranking
schools among the faculty is a marker of high quality
education. The faculty in USFSM College of Education (COE)
graduated from, among others, Harvard University, Stanford
University, Michigan State University, University of
Connecticut, Florida State University, University of Colorado,
Florida International University, University of South Carolina,
SUNY Buffalo, Emory University, Indiana University of
Pennsylvania, University of Tennessee, University of South
Florida and University of New Hampshire. Finally, look at the
Carnegie Classification of the University. Research
Universities (RU) such as USFSM COE have high standards for
their faculty in achieving national recognition. Our faculty
are evaluated after six years and if their work is not respected
nationally, they are not retained. Talk about a high pressure
probationary period!
When they talk about accreditation, do they mean National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)?
To say that a college or university is accredited means that
their students can borrow money with federal backing to go to
classes. But you want a career, so you need to know about the
accreditation of their College of Education. Is it
separately accredited by a national body for teacher
education, such as the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE)?
NCATE accreditation means that the programs have been closely
examined and found to be of such high quality that they are
awarded the "gold standard." It's more than a trophy; it's a
guarantee of quality. USFSM COE is NCATE accredited.
When you graduate, what happens?
It's not well known to new teachers, but it should be. Only
50% of teachers, according to national surveys, stay in the
classroom longer than five years. With the average 4 year
college tuition now over $28,000, that's an expensive gamble.
What if you start your career and are not prepared? Being an
educator is tough work, so this question deserves some closer
- What are placement rates?
Once you graduate, how many students get an actual position? In tough economic times, there are no guarantees, of course, but a recent survey of our MAT students found that all of them were teaching. And all our graduates have a career services office standing by to assist them in their search.
- What are retention rates?
This one may be most important, yet is rarely discussed. Based on analysis of recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics, almost a third of America's teachers leave the field sometime during their first three years of teaching, and almost half leave after five years. In many low-income communities and rural areas, the rates of attrition are even higher. The rate for those who enter through some "alternative" pathways can be as high as 60 percent. However, research shows that well-designed programs in research universities may reduce attrition even further, with 90% of graduates still being in the field after 5 years. In other words, the program you choose may well determine how well you are prepared to build a career--not just get a degree.
- Is my certification good in multiple states?
Be somewhat wary of "alternative" certification programs offered by many institutions that are designed to meet a state shortage. The courses may result in certification in that state, but what happens if you move to another state? Certification is a license to teach in a particular state. Though each state has its own requirements, all states recognize NCATE accreditation as a mark of excellence in teacher preparation. USFSM COE is NCATE accredited.
- Do I get support in my teaching as an alumnus?
Many institutions will support you while you are a student. But what if you run into a problem in the classroom after you graduate? Does your institution monitor your progress after you leave, or do they only ask for donations? At USFSM COE, we have systems in place to track your success. Even more, we use the data gathered from previous graduates about problems they encountered to ensure that we prepare you to meet the challenges before you face them.
We wish you every success in your work as an educator. We truly hope you are able to make that decision now in a way that will maximize your career success, and the success of your students. Educators touch lives, every day.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When The Sporting News rolled out its Freshman All-America team, Marshall's D.J. Hunter was on the list.
That should be no surprise, considering that in his first year with the Thundering Herd, he totaled a whopping 102 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups.
Funny thing about that honor, though. Look down that roster of the magazine's top freshmen in the country, and Hunter is there as a defensive back ... a position at which he played all of one game in 2012.
Was it a typo? An oversight?
Or was it ESP?
Hunter is back on the field this spring and back at his old strong safety position, a spot he feels is more natural and a spot that will keep him on the field in any scenario.
With new coordinator Chuck Heater at the helm of the defense, Marshall Coach Doc Holliday said the packages will be a little different this season than they were last season under former coordinator Chris Rippon. Fans will see more five- and six-defensive-back sets in Heater's defense, which means linebackers will head to the sideline.
"When you do that, you don't want D.J. sitting on the bench watching," Holliday said. "You want him in there playing. At that safety position, he won't come out."
He rarely came out of games last season, starting 11 of the 12 he played. He came off the bench as a strong safety at West Virginia, as the Herd started Raheem Waiters at strong side linebacker. One week later, Hunter usurped Waiters as the top man on the strong side and stayed there the rest of the season.
Marshall coaches had to fill two big holes in the Herd's secondary this offseason, as last year's starters at strong safety and free safety - Boston College transfers Dominick LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha - both graduated.

From his seven offices, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Christopher Ewanowski and his knowledgeable staff help restore epidermises with cosmetic, medical, and surgical skin treatments. With a stable of seven lasers, including the Candela GentleLase, Palomar StarLux IPL, and the 2,940-nanometer Whisper, Suncoast's trained technicians rid skin of unwanted hair, sun damage, broken blood vessels, and tattoos of broken blood vessels. For more invasive procedures, including eyelid-lifting blepharoplasty and Dr. Ewanowski's specialty, the cancer-ridding Mohs micrographic surgery, the doctor treats clients in the in-office surgical suite. Suncoast's resident aesthetician pampers with medical-grade spa services, using products from such skincare brands as SkinMedica, Avène, and glo.
Quality Meat Market conciliates the choosiest of carnivores with grain-fed beef, fresh pork, and high-quality poultry delivered daily. Peruse a taste-bud-tingling selection of fresh-cut steaks, tender chops, baby-back ribs, hormone-free chicken breasts, and regularly changing seafood selections. Or, enlist the guidance of a meat maestro to make recommendations regarding prepared items, such as homemade meatloaf, turkey pecan salad, and southern-style potato salad.
Meting out meats since 1970, Tampa Steak Company sells more than 100 cuts of beef, pork, poultry, lamb, and seafood to restaurants and the unquenchably carnivorous public. Sate ravenous cutlery with a 12-piece steak package, comprised of four 8-ounce T-bone steaks, four 8-ounce rib eye steaks, and four 8-ounce New York–strip steaks. Skilled butchers cut steaks on a daily basis after each has been aged for a minimum of 14 days, making for a succulent slab suitable for sizzling grills and the most discerning black eyes.
Shannon Holt, a mostly self-taught photographer who learned her craft by doing copious amounts of research on the Internet, created Studio77 Photography in 2008. The self-described chatty photographer prefers to get to know clients over coffee before their shoot, discussing details such as the desired makeup and wardrobe look and how to turn an old negligee into a sexy handkerchief. She prides herself on empowering women during daring boudoir shoots and has developed her own editing techniques to add the finishing touches on images.
Schakolad Chocolate Factory, pronounced just like the chocolate factory it's named after, exemplifies chocolate craft by freshly preparing all of its decadent morsels on-site and out of the highest-quality ingredients available. The Schakolad world is one in which strawberries enjoy a casual bath in chocolate streams, and one-bite truffles dress themselves in polite paper ruffles under the meticulous eye of trained chocolate artists. A boutique experience greets all customers with sweetly arranged displays of assorted bonbons.
During World War I, Greek immigrant Louis Pappas served in the Army as a personal chef to General John Pershing. To give the hungry general some extra nutrition, Louis began adding scoops of potato salad to his traditional greek salads. When Louis returned to the United States, he opened up his own restaurant, Louis Pappas Riverside Café, where he would re-create this signature dish using fresh produce from his own ranch in Tarpon Springs.
Today, Louis Pappas's grandson continues his grandfather's old Florida family tradition at Pappas Ranch. There, he and his kitchen serve up a new menu of fresh seafood, poultry, sandwiches, street tacos, hand-cut steaks, and barbecue dishes whose "family flair" has been lauded by Metromix Tampa Bay. They continue to scoop savory housemade potato salad into their internationally renowned Louis Pappas Famous greek salad, tossing it in massive bowls that serve as many as four diners. Bartenders dole out glasses of locally brewed craft beers and wine or mix cocktails and martinis at the full center bar with flat-screen TVs.
The restaurant's decor channels that of the original Pappas family ranch. In the dining room, spacious booths are surrounded by rustic wooden walls, and outside is a covered outdoor patio.

To be provocative or something, I asked whom Republican Matt Doheny would support in the GOP primary.
Mr. Doheny's spokesman, Jude Seymour, told me over lunch at the Crystal that Mr. Doheny will support whoever ends up being the Republican nominee to take on President Barack Obama, and believes that whoever that nominee is will find success in the race.
Interestingly, Republican candidate Mitt Romney endorsed Mr. Doheny's 2010 run for Congress, according to Mr. Seymour's authoritative archives when he was occupying the seat that I now do.
But Mr. Doheny isn't hitching his wagon to any star this early in the race, and from what his spokesman is saying now, he'll stay out of it and let the primary run its course.
Mr. Doheny will likely run against Democratic Rep. Bill Owens for the north country's congressional seat.

This page provides a quick overview of module development for experienced Magnolia developers.
Developers new to Magnolia should start with our Geolocation Module Tutorial.
An overview of Magnolia modules can be found at in our documentation on the Module Mechanism page.
Using a Maven Archetype
You can use Maven 2's archetype plugin to quickly get started with creating a module or project.
Use this command:
You will first be prompted to "Choose an archetype".
You will further be prompted for various properties, whose names should hopefully be obvious enough for you to figure what to enter. If not, try some random value, see the results and try again (Please vote for this maven-archetype-plugin enhancement !)
The Module archetype
The module archetype will generate a basic Magnolia module, including all necessary folders, a module descriptor and two classes:
- a module configuration class, named after the
property. See http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/technical-guide/modules.html#Module_class for details. - a module version handler class, similarly named, in the
subpackage. See http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/technical-guide/modules.html#Version_handling for details.
The Forge Module archetype
The Forge module archetype is very similar, but will provide a pom.xml
with sensible defaults for use for a project hosted on the Magnolia Forge.
The STK Theme archetype
The STK Theme archetype will produce a quickstart for an STK Theme.
The Project archetype
The Project archetype will produce a skeleton for a "project"; this will contain
- a parent pom
- a webapp, overlaying
, ready to host your custom configuration files.
If you want to add a module to an existing project, generating the module
artifact from within your project should get you started quickly, as it will adapt the new artifact's parent pom to match your existing project !
The Magnolia Maven Archetypes if a Magnolia Forge project. Have a look at http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/ARCH to see known problems or suggest new features.
Please try it out and tell us what you think !
More info about Maven archetypes:
- http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html
- http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html
Host your module at the Forge!
Hey, why not share your new module with the world and host it at the forge ?

Is there already an Archetype for Modules in Magnolia 4.01 or 4.1?
Mar 17, 2011
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, finally !
(you can even choose the Magnolia version when generating)
May 02, 2011
If you occur an
error when running
on your newly created module, here is the solution http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=34952&tstart=30.

Way cool beans!
Love the new archetypes! Thank you Joerg and Greg!
In case anyone is interested, you may also add the archetypes to your local archetype-catalog as an alternative to passing in the
argument.To do so:
- Make sure you've run through the steps to setup Maven with Magnolia's Nexus Repositories - @see Maven Setup
- Under your
check to see if you already have anarchetype-catalog.xml
file. If not, create one. - Open up
, and add the magnolia archetypes you'd like to use, for instance:archetype-catalog.xml - Save the file, open up a terminal, and run:
- You should see the magnolia archetypes in the list of available archetypes to choose from
- Enjoy!
Jun 17, 2011
True, but that'd mean maintaining that list (new archetypes, new versions, ...) - whereas our catalog is always up-to-date. (generated by Nexus).
Sep 13, 2013
In case it will be of help to anyone else - there are currently a couple of severe bugs in the magnolia 5 maven project archetype which will cause a lot of frustration for anyone trying to create a new project.
the first problem is that the project pom omits a dependency of the Vaadin repository. As a result if you create a project from the archetype and attempt to build it the build will fail with an error like this :
The POM for org.vaadin.addons:icepush:jar:0.5.3 is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.vaadin.addons:cssinject:jar:2.0.3 is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.vaadin.addons:gwt-graphics:jar:1.0.0 is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.vaadin.addons:ckeditor-wrapper-for-vaadin:jar:7.8.3 is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.vaadin.addon:easyuploads:jar:7.0.0 is missing, no dependency information available
The POM for org.vaadin.addons:refresher:jar:18.104.22.168 is missing, no dependency information availableThe solution is to to add this to the repositories section of the project POM :
vaadin repository referenceThe other problem is that Maven will complain about a missing version number for the maven-war-plugin - I'm not sure whether this has any real effect on the build, but it causes a warning to be issued for every build, like this :
Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for stain.org:rocamoraSite-webapp:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT
'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin is missing. @ line 30, column 21To sort this out, just add a version number property to the maven war plugin reference in the pom file within the web app sub folder like this :
war plugin version numberHopefully, when these problems are sorted out an admin can delete this comment....
Sep 13, 2013
Thanks for this - we track issues with the archetypes on Jira: ARCH
The first problem is well known and should already be in there. Just got no time so far to fix it. (In part because it won't be necessary to have that fix everywhere, and in part because I've been wondering why Vaadin add-ons are not mirrored on Maven Central)
The second problem is probably specific to Maven 3, we still use Maven 2.2, which is why we haven't seen it yet. However you're right, and it's generally good practice to add plugin version numbers in any case. It's the type of thing that people will configured via their "corporate" parent pom, though.
Feb 12, 2014
There's a dependency problem related to Admin Interface Legacy Module (version 5.0.2) using Version 1.1 of the archetype together with Magnolia 5. Use the latest 1.2-SNAPSHOT to get it running properly. The final version 1.2 is going to be released soon.

WASHINGTON - Coming off major knee surgery, and coming up on his 39th birthday, Chipper Jones came back to baseball in a big way.
WASHINGTON - Even Washington Nationals opening day starter Livan Hernandez wishes Stephen Strasburg could take that assignment Thursday.
ATLANTA - Nick Blackburn looked ready for the regular season before problems in Minnesota's bullpen kept him from winning his final spring start.
ATLANTA - The clickety-clack of spikes has been replaced by nice, quiet sneakers. Otherwise, it's hard to detect much of a difference between Fredi Gonzalez and the guy he replaced in the Atlanta Braves dugout.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Brandon Beachy has won the job as the Atlanta Braves' fifth starter, beating out fellow rookie Mike Minor and veteran Rodrigo Lopez.
DUNEDIN, Fla. - Atlanta pitcher Jair Jurrjens said the feeling along his right ribcage Thursday was nothing more than a cramp caused by dehydration. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, taking no chances, pulled his starter after one inning against Toronto.
JUPITER, Fla. - Kyle McClellan made another strong statement in his bid for the St. Louis Cardinals' vacant starting spot. He has been endorsed by pitching coach Dave Duncan, and is on a schedule that would allow him to start the second game of the season.
JUPITER, Fla. - Kyle Lohse was so efficient he became the first member of the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation to work six innings this spring - without coming close to his pitch limit.
TAMPA, Fla. - Tommy Hanson wasn't totally happy with his latest start despite a positive outcome.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Kyle McClellan got a confidence boost in his bid to make the Cardinals' rotation on Thursday.
JUPITER, Fla. - Josh Johnson labored through another difficult inning in spring training, then found what he had been looking for: his rhythm.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Tim Hudson gave up a run in two innings in his spring debut, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Boston Red Sox 6-1 on Wednesday.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Brett Myers looked exactly one month ahead, to opening day against the Philadelphia Phillies.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Derek Lowe didn't want to throw breaking balls Monday in his first start of spring training for the Atlanta Braves.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Forgive Nate McLouth for having a convenient case of amnesia.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - After the Braves learned Kris Medlen may have a serious elbow injury, Julio Teheran and five relievers combined on a two-hitter Tuesday in Atlanta's 9-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Brandon Beachy became the second straight Atlanta starting pitcher to leave early because of an arm problem, exiting the Braves' 8-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday because of tightness around his right elbow.
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Brandon Beachy pitched three no-hit innings in his second start since having shoulder surgery in September and B.J. Upton doubled among his two hits for the Atlanta braves, who tied the Philadelphia Phillies 2-2 Wednesday.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Stephen Strasburg pitched two scoreless innings in his spring debut for Washington, but Phil Gosselin took advantage of Nationals rookie manager Matt Williams' unusual defensive shift in the eighth inning to give the Atlanta Braves an 8-4 victory Tuesday.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Freddy Garcia ran his streak of perfect innings to five in his bid to earn a spot in the Braves' rotation, Mets' top prospect Noah Syndergaard pitched two scoreless innings in his Grapefruit League debut and New York beat Atlanta 6-2 Monday.
VIERA, Fla. - Jordan Zimmermann breezed through two shutout innings with only 20 pitches for the Washington Nationals in what turned into a wild, 16-15 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
LAKELAND, Fla. - Detroit newcomers Joba Chamberlain and Joe Nathan each pitched a scoreless inning Thursday, helping the Tigers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - In a spring training game that ended with both teams leaving the field and neither side sure who won, the Detroit Tigers were later awarded a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves in a rain-shortened exhibition Wednesday.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - When Evan Gattis made Atlanta's opening-day roster last season, the rookie slugger became one of the biggest stories for the Braves.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Here are some things every Atlanta Braves fans knows about second baseman Dan Uggla: Last season he batted .179, had his lowest on-base and slugging percentages of his career, and he struck out a team-high 171 times.
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves and shortstop Andrelton Simmons agreed on a $58 million, seven-year contract on Thursday, a record deal for the latest young star locked up by the NL East champions.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The Atlanta Braves have been on a signing spree.
Fredi Gonzalez almost couldn't contain his enthusiasm on the day Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward signed multi-year contract extensions.
ATLANTA - B.J. Upton would like a do-over on his debut season with the Braves.

5 reasons China's air became so foul
Coal-fueled power plants, soaring car ownership and decades of scoffing at environmental laws are some factors cited for the thick haze.
Contrary to the myth, you can't see the Great Wall of China from space. But NASA space satellites can now see remarkable and alarming images of the massive cloud of air pollution that's recently been choking Beijing and some other Chinese metropolitan areas.
The pollution has reduced visibility in some communities to just a few yards. It's also a major health hazard, forcing many people to remain indoors until the haze clears. And it's prompted some soul-searching from the Chinese government and its citizens about what they can do to keep their air clean.
There are several factors, man-made and otherwise, behind the historic levels of air pollution in China.
Economic reforms begun in the post-Mao era of the late 1970s have helped bring hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and into relative financial prosperity -- while making China the world's largest producer of consumer goods. "But there is little question that growth came at the expense of the country's air, land and water," says the New York Times, "much of it already degraded by decades of Stalinist economic planning that emphasized the development of heavy industries in urban areas."
According to data from the country's auto industry, China was the world's largest producer and market for automobiles for the fourth consecutive year in 2012 -- with auto sales at 19.31 million units and production at 19.27 million vehicles. China's Xinhua News Agency acknowledges that "carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants emitted by motor vehicles are among the major contributors to the air pollution problems like smog and acid rain that frequently occur in some Chinese cities." The country's Ministry of Environmental Protection says it is "vigorously" working to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions.
China is king when it comes to coal usage. The World Resources Institute says it took the country only three years to change from an exporter of coal to world's largest net importer of coal in 2009.
Coal accounts for almost 80% of China's power production and 70% of its overall energy consumption. And burning coal without the proper filters produces large amounts of particulate pollution like soot, as well as chemicals like mercury, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. But the International Energy Agency says China is trying to lessen its reliance on coal by doubling natural gas use from the 2011 levels by 2015. The government is also searching out new energy sources to eventually replace coal.
Winter in China means more coal is burned for heating needs, which leads to greater air pollution. And according to CBS News, there's been little to no wind lately in Beijing to help break up accumulating pollutants. "Emissions from factories and heating plants, fumes from millions of vehicles and the burning of coal bricks to heat homes often conspire to blanket the city in a pungent haze," says Reuters, "that can become trapped over the city when weather conditions are right." And of course, the dust storms from the Gobi Desert that periodically engulf Beijing don't help air conditions, either.
Non-enforcement of pollution regulations
China's anti-pollution laws have been ignored or flouted by local and regional leaders for decades in favor of industrial projects that may spew out toxic smoke but bring in money. The Financial Times says both Chinese and international experts point to "the willingness of officials at all levels to sacrifice environmental concerns for the overriding imperative of economic growth" as one of the biggest problems facing China's government.
"There has been a long-term buildup to this problem, and the resolution will require a long-term process. But we must act," Reuters quoted Vice Premier Li Keqiang as saying on Tuesday. Li is expected to take over as Chinese premier in March.

Real Pumpkin Juice
Preparation Time
60 minutesIngredients
Fresh pumpkinPumpkin spice (optional)
Sugar (optional)
Bake your Halloween jack o'lantern in the oven. (watch the face distort and shrink - it's fun!). This takes a good hour or two, depending on the size of your jack o'lantern, so keep checking your pumpkin as it is baking.
Use a cookie sheet underneath so you can easily take the hot mushy pumpkin out of the oven and to catch any drippings.
If your pumpkin was not carved, cut it in half before baking, otherwise it could explode and make a GIGANTIC mess!
You will see that the juice separates from the pumpkin flesh as it starts to bake, so spoon off this juice periodically and save it so it doesn't leak all over your oven.
Once your pumpkin flesh has baked long enough to be good and soft, remove from the oven and let it cool enough to touch.
Scoop the pumpkin flesh from the skin into a strainer with a container underneath.
Use a spoon to squeeze out the juice from the pumpkin through the strainer, so you have as "solid" a puree as possible, which you should save for your Pumpkin Pasties, pumpkin bread, or your favorite pie recipe.
You can freeze your pumpkin and pumpkin juice separately in plastic containers, and they can keep over a year in the freezer quite well.
After thawing the pumpkin, you can strain again for even better results (and more pumpkin juice!) since during freezing, the ice crystals were separated from the pumpkin naturally.
I did try using pumpkin pie spice mixture to flavor my juice, but I thought the flavor was too strong. I actually prefer plain, unsweetened pumpkin juice, since it is quite refreshing and tastes a bit like iced tea. My guests liked the Butterbeer much better though! ;)

Nets drop Thunder, 110-93, in Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY — P.J. Carlesimo's first big motivational message as the interim coach of the Brooklyn Nets earned him an elusive win in Oklahoma City, and perhaps the kind of jolt his team needs to get out of a monthlong funk.
Joe Johnson scored a season-high 33 points, Deron Williams added 19 points and 13 assists, and the Nets snapped Oklahoma City's 12-game home winning streak by beating the Thunder 110-93 Wednesday night in a game featuring the first ejection of Kevin Durant's career.
Johnson said Carlesimo "jumped on us" after a 31-point thumping at San Antonio two nights earlier, stressing the importance of ball movement on offense and helping each other out on defense.
"To be honest, it helped," Johnson said. "It translated into the game because we were in a spot defensively that we hadn't been in in a while. We was talking, communicating, the ball was moving great, guys were getting wide-open shots and it just kind of played into our hands."
The Nets built a 23-point lead late in the second quarter, then allowed Oklahoma City to tie it at 85 before ripping off a 23-8 run to seize control right back. Durant was ejected near the end of the surge, arguing with Danny Crawford after the referee had already issued a technical foul against Kendrick Perkins.
"I just thought it was a bad call. You get frustrated throughout a game, you show emotion. That's how you can tell you love it," said Durant, who scored 27 points.
The three-time scoring champion had never before been ejected in his six NBA seasons but got tossed after Brooklyn rallied largely from the foul line. The Nets made 11 free throws in a span of just over 5 minutes, pulling away after Oklahoma City had finally fought all the way back.
But Durant said it wasn't a disparity in foul calls or any cumulative complaint about the officiating that sent him to the showers early.
"I said, 'It's a bad call,"' he said. "They've got a quick trigger now."
"I think I'm allowed to be frustrated, especially in this league. With the ups and downs, the players are allowed to be frustrated," Durant added. "It is what it is, move on from it."

Baltimore's Terrell Suggs usually has something amusing to say when it comes time for the Ravens to match up with the Steelers, and Wednesday's conference call with the press was so exception. Dale Lolley:
↵↵↵Terrelle Suggs via conference call on Steelers, "f!@& it. Let's do it."
Suggs didn't wait to drop that f-bomb, either, according to Mike Bires:
↵↵↵Less than one minute into his conference call, Ravens LB Terrell Suggs used the F word. It wasn't a mean use of the F word, but he said it
Gerry Dulac has another gem from Suggs.
↵↵↵Terrell Suggs: "I consider Heinz Field to be my Madison Square Garden."
The strange thing about the Ravens/Steelers rivalry, is that, more than anything, it seems to be built on respect. Let's not forget that early this year, Suggs described the Ravens and Steelers as "the two best teams in the NFL."Suggs might drop an f-word and wear a shirt with a Raven flipping Pittsburgh the bird, but fundamentally, these two teams think very highly of one another. You don't go to Madison Square Garden to see the Bad News Bears.

I purchased this ottoman last September and was thrilled when it arrived. I loved the size and fabric....very neutral. Last week I noticed the seams were pulling on the top of the ottoman. One seam has pulled out completely and looks terrible and others are ready to pull out. This ottoman is in the middle of large room so it is hardly ever used except for an occasional extra seat. I am so bummed that I wasted my money on this! Don't waste your time or money. The quality really is AWFUL!
We just received this ottoman after a long search for a coffee table. With two kids we needed something without sharp edges, something that could hold up to being climbed on and something that wouldn't fall apart-all of a reasonable price. This fit the bill. We were looking at pieces elsewhere for $2,000. But when we found this, we couldn't believe it. Ordered it and received it quickly. Fits perfectly in our living room and we love it. The only issue that we have is that our living room is grey colored. Although this is "grey" it is more of a gray with a navy tint, which doesn't completely match our decor, but for the price, who cares! It still looks fantastic. But if you have a color scheme that will not work with any blues, this won't work for you.
This ottoman is gorgeous however after having it for a couple of weeks, it's not so great. If you use it to put your feet up or if you have kids that like to climb on it, the fabric will start pilling. I'm very disappointed as I love the look of this, I'm worried what it will look like after a few months. I'll have to try a fabric shaver to try and cut some of the fuzzies off otherwise it'll have to be replaced real soon.
The ottoman has gotten a lot of compliments. The material was a bit sturdier than what I perceived it to be in the picture. While it didn't have the plush/microfiber feel to it, it still looks great and in terms of price/value, it cannot be beat.
Am pleased with the product, larger than expected but dimensions were correct on site. Placed in family room, looks much more expensive than what I paid for it!
We have just received the ottoman and it looks great. Time will tell how it will age, but so far we are very pleased. The piece looks just like the picture, so if this is what you are looking for, move ahead and you will be happy. The overall construction seems solid and features a high quality finish. It looks contemporary and certainly will create a sophisticated environment wherever you choose to have it.
I just bought all new furniture for my living room. I needed a kid friendly replacement for my glass coffee table but didnt want to sacrifice the look. Saw this and knew immediately it would match my 2 Caracole Cats Meow couches. When it came the color & size was perfect. Quality & look is high end. Had company over for the holidays and had multiple complaints on the ottoman alone.
Just received my ottoman in one of the most beat up boxes I have ever seen. I didn't even need scissors or a box cutter because it was already open. Luckily my ottoman was clean and not damaged. There was just a rattling noise it made as I rolled it to the living room. It looks beautiful, I love the fabric. It is slightly wobbly like the little legs are uneven but it's not really noticeable once it's on the padded carpet. Overall I'm happy with it.

10 Secrets Men Keep From Women
By JoeRocket
Yes, men tell women what we think you want to hear because, let's face it, you're going to decide if we're having sex tonight. If you ask us to communicate, we think it's a trap. Women say they want me to be honest, but when men let it rip, women don't like the answers. As I have no personal attachment to anyone on this site, I'm going to let it rip.
Things men tell their buddies that they don't tell their wives and girlfriends.
More from YourTango: 10 Simple Things Men Want
1. Yes, it's about sex. Men like sex, men like variety. Men like women that enjoy sex, enjoy variety, and are active partners in sex. Discuss: Why do men love sex?
2. A man is less likely to feel romantic if a woman is making his life miserable. If you want to cuddle, don't start a fight over leaving the toilet seat up or not taking out the garbage, Buzzkill.
3. Men are passionate about the things women hate. In general, when men tell you they don't like cartoons, stoner movies, action movies, motorcycles, South Park, sports, firearms, the Simpsons, and ESPN, etc. they are lying so that they can have sex with you.
4. Men don't like women's entertainment. I'd rather eat glass than watch Bridget Jones, but I've watched it for sex.
5. There's only 24 hours in a day. Eight hours of sleep, ten hours at work, two hours commute, 90 minutes at the gym, and 90 minutes cooking, eating, and washing up leaves only one hour each day for "us" or "me" time. Keep your expectations reasonable and share. 10 Ways to Squeeze in More Sex
6. Women have cold hands, feet, butts, and other body parts. Men are not your personal heaters. Warm them or keep them to yourself.
7. A man's willingness to put up with a women's b.s. is directly proportional to how hot they are. Yes, men will kiss a beautiful women's ass for sex, that doesn't mean you're going to get the same treatment.
8. When women say they want to sit down and talk, men hear "I'm pissed." You never want to talk about things we like, like sports, so telling us you want to talk sends us the signal that you want to bring up something that's bothering you. You might fool us once in a while by actually wanting to talk about something the other sex is interested in. Men have to, it's called dating.

9. Men hate dating because we have to lie. Lying isn't fun. We can't wait to be married so we can really tell you how we feel about Bridget Jones. Unless he's a jerk, a man's happiest day is when he no longer has to lie to have sex.
10. Working out doesn't count unless you sweat. We don't want to hear about how tough your yoga class was if all the girls in class are wearing makeup. The Joy of Flex: Exercise Better Together

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A private jet apparently experiencing mechanical trouble crashed Sunday in a northern Indiana neighborhood, leaving multiple people dead after it hit three homes, becoming lodged in one of them, authorities and witnesses said.
The Beechcraft Premier I twin-jet had left Tulsa's Riverside Airport and crashed near South Bend Regional Airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig in Oklahoma City said. Two of four people aboard the plane were killed.
It was not clear if anyone on the ground was killed, and Herwig did not have any additional information.
The plane is registered to 7700 Enterprises of Montana LLC in Helena, Mont. The company is owned by Wes Caves and does business as DigiCut Systems in Tulsa. It makes window film and paint overlay for automobiles.
A woman identifying herself as Caves' wife answered the phone at their home Sunday and said, "I think he's dead," before hanging up.
In South Bend, Assistant Fire Chief John Corthier said some people who were injured had been taken to the hospital, but he did not know how many or what their medical conditions were.
The presence of jet fuel from the aircraft made the situation "very dangerous," Corthier said. The plane was lodged inside a house.
"It's still a rescue operation," Corthier said about three hours after the crash. Referring to one of the damaged houses, he said, "Because of the collapse in the house, it's a very dangerous situation. We have to shore up the house before we can enter the house. "
Part of the neighborhood southwest of the airport was evacuated. Buses transported people to a nearby shelter Sunday night before residents were allowed back home, Red Cross volunteer Jackie Lincoln said.
Mike Daigle, executive director of the St. Joseph County Airport Authority, said the jet attempted a landing, went back up and maneuvered south to try another landing, but eight minutes later, the airport learned the plane was no longer airborne.
"There was an indication of a mechanical problem," Herwig said.
Stan Klaybor, who lives across the street from the crash scene, said the jet clipped the top of one house, heavily damaged a second and finally came to rest against a third. Neighbors did not know if a woman living in the most heavily damaged house was home at the time, and a young boy in the third house did not appear to be seriously injured, Klaybor said.

Comments On Feb 07, 2014:it was cheaper to buy this wheel than the oem rim I cracked on my KTM, fits great and has a cutout in the rotor for the speedo magnet. you have to look for it but its there. the seals had grease where the spacers ride, that I was impressed with. obviously these guys ride the products they make

Comments On Aug 13, 2013:wanted a second set of wheels for my 450X and picked up these Warp 9 wheels. great wheels and haven't given me any problems. note: if you call Warp 9 they have a spacer to replace the stock speedo box on the axle if you run a trail tech
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 14, 2013:See my review on the rear wheel. But in summary, this is my second set and love them. Put quite a few hours on my firts set that I sold with my bike and they did great. So I purchased this set for my 2012. The new ones look far superior to my old warp 9's and my old wheels were good. The spokes on the new ones are oversized and the quality of the machining and finish on everything looks amazing. Warp 9 has definatly steped it up. Totally happy. Will be back for more when I get my next bike.

Comments On Mar 12, 2013:I bought a front and rear set almost a year ago. I punished these poor things in Baja by ridding nearly 20 miles on a flat tire, they held up great, there still round and straight after my poor treatment of them. I purchased the Warp 9 wheels after my Excel rim cracked in 3 spots. bottom line there a great wheel.
Note: the KTM wheels I got included both front and rear wheel spacers and the front rotor which is included also had a hole in it for the oem speedo magnet... nice touch Warp 9

Comments On Oct 07, 2012:I had a pair of warp 9 wheels and had a constant problem of the spokes coming loose all the time even after a year of riding. One day forgot to check them went for some laps around the track and then I started to get a really bad vibration in the front tire over a big jump.. Stopped and front tire was flopping around. Every spoke had backed completely off and was missing several. This was after like 5 laps. Any wheel that can go from fairly tight and safe to falling apart and almost killed me in 5 laps doesnt work for me. This was the second time this happened to me with the front tire and it did it once on the rear. So after three times I got rid of them. Ive never had wheels that the spokes would come loose so fast in my life. I could understand if they were brand new and just breaking in but I had road on them for a year and used a spoke torue wrench on them after every second ride. If I ever forgot to check them it always turned out bad Keep a very close eye on your spokes if you have bought these rims.

Comments On Aug 13, 2012:Nice finish out of the box and the brake rotor is trick looking. Over 7 months of once a week track riding and a couple of big hits it has held up well. The finish looks like new, no dents in the rim and it is still true. A little more expensive than some other brands, but well worth it. Had to get this one after another brand tweaked out on the second ride. Haven't had to replace any spokes.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 01, 2012:I have 2 sets of Warp 9 wheels and this second set I bought for my CRF450 appears to have significant changes from my wheels of 2 years ago. The rim is diffrent and appears to be thicker and the spokes are definatly larger in diameter. So while I didnt have any problems with my older Warp 9 wheels it seems they have made big changes over their older wheels. Keep it up Warp 9...I'm a Fan!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 25, 2009:yz 450F 2008 - Pulled off aluminun chain ring & replaced with iron man right away. Brake rotor was to small, did not clear brake pads. Final straw, bearing races to big. Bearings just fall out in your hand. One side is so loose it moves and wears out bearing prematurely. Rim and spokes seem to be doing well.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 05, 2008:Put Warp 9 on two days before my son had a race. I checked the spokes after each ride and they did not loosen much after about the 3rd ride they were not loose at all. Wished the price was less.

Let it B Corp: New Seasons is first grocer to snag certification
By Andy Giegerich
Sustainable Business Oregon editor
Wendy Collie said New Seasons will use its B Corp status to further educate customers on its sustainability programs.
Chalk up another sustainability-related honor for Portland's New Seasons Market.
The company revealed Wednesday it has become the first grocer to achieve B Corp certification from the B Lab group.
The designation gives credence to New Seasons various business practices that promote sustainability. The grocer announced last month it had qualified as a net-zero waste company by diverting some 92 percent of its waste from landfills.
"This validates the work we've done over the last 13 years and also hopefully encourages people to come along with us," said Wendy Collie, the company's president and CEO.
The B Lab group has honored several Oregon companies this year. For its part, New Seasons fared impressively on a 170-question test that gauged practices, governance, environmental and community impacts, staff benefits and culture. The company scored 121 points out of 200, some 24 points higher than the average B Corp company.
New Seasons employs 2,400 workers in the Portland area. The company gives 10 percent of its after-tax profits to community nonprofits.
Collie said New Seasons worked to collect B Corp certification for two years, starting the process under the watch of Lisa Sedlar. The assessment was completed in January.
"This is about adopting a set of standards that help us look at how we're doing against things we think matter most," she said. "We wanted a third-party assessment that allowed us to measure those pieces that we believe are fundamental" within any business.
Collie acknowledges that, after hitting net-zero and B Corp standards, New Seasons may be running out of immediate sustainability goals.
"This has partially allowed us to validate what we're doing and celebrate our staff," she said. "We didn't necessarily go out looking for this status, we just wanted to measure our value. Right now, we have what we need, and we'll continue to keep our ear to the ground and hands in the dirt in order to effect change."

Transportation PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS The fiscal year 2010 ISTHA capital budget reflects the Tollway's pledge to maintain and upgrade the existing facilities and infrastructure of the system. The budget includes funding for the fifth year of the multi-year $6.3 billion Congestion-Relief Program (CRP) – Open Roads for a Faster Future - the largest capital improvement program in its 50 year history. In fiscal year 2010, $977.1 million is allocated to the CRP and $118.6 million is allocated to support other needs such as roadway equipment and vehicles, building repair and improvements, and technological equipment and enhancements. The CRP is broken into six corridors for reporting purposes: Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80), Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88), Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-90), Open Road Tolling, and Systemwide Improvements. Other capital needs are divided into Building Repairs and Maintenance, Equipment, Professional Services, and Roadway. Tri-State Tollway (I-80/I-294/I-94) The 2010 capital budget for the Tri-State Tollway corridor is $562.9 million. The Tri-State Tollway (I- 294) is the main by-pass around the Chicago-Metro Area, starting from an intersection with Interstate 80/294/IL Route 394, near South Holland, to just south of the Wisconsin State Line. As part of the Congestion-Relief Program (CRP), the Tollway is planning to invest nearly $2.1 billion to improve the Tri-State Tollway. By mid-2010, 76 miles of the 78.5 mile I-94/I-294/I-80 Tollway will have four lanes in each direction. By the end of 2008, all of the contracts required to complete this work were obligated and nearly $1.3 billion has been earned since the start of the CRP program in 2005. Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) The current CRP budget for the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway is $777.3 million. The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway runs in a northwest direction from near O'Hare International Airport to near South Beloit. By the end of 2008, an estimated $177.1 million was expended, which includes approximately $140.3 million expended solely in 2008. The 2009 capital budget for the Jane Addams Memorial Corridor is $121.6 million. Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) The current CRP budget for the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) is $1,027.4 million. In 2008, an estimated $296.5 million was expended bringing total spending to approximately $605 million. The 2009 capital budget for the Reagan Memorial Tollway Corridor is $140.2 million. The Reagan Memorial Tollway runs east-west from Hillside to Rock Falls. Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) The Veterans Memorial Tollway is the newest of the four Tollways in Illinois with the section from Addison to I-55 opening in 1989. On Veterans' Day 2007, a new 12.5 mile extension opened connecting I-55 to I- 80, lengthening the tollway to 29.8 miles. By the end of 2008 an estimated $736.4 million was spent on widening, rehabilitating and extending the original portion of the Veterans Memorial Tollway as part of the Congestion-Relief Program. The 2009 capital budget for the Veterans Memorial corridor is $40.9 million. 25

Dear Editor,
Since 2008, we have been living in very turbulent economic times. Growth in China is slowing, in Canada and the U.S. growth is stagnant, Spain and Greece are by all definitions in full-blown depression and most of other countries in Europe are on the brink of a new recession. In Whistler, Village businesses are closing or relocating. My favourite coffee and pizza shop run by Miro is no more.�
On the other hand, for me, these are also interesting times. Many, many ski seasons ago I graduated in economics and now there are all these clashes of different economic theories, actual actions and effects taking place. It is like if you were studying volcanoes and you would get a chance to watch an eruption of a volcano.
But we, economists, are a funny breed; for everything we have a prediction that this or that will happen but then we add on the other hand this or that can also happen. That is why President Roosevelt said that one should listen only to an economist with only one hand.
A famous economist wrote that world financiers will encourage people to buy more and more expensive products, real estate and technology. For that they will provide more and more credit, which eventually people will not be able to afford. Unpaid loans will cause banks to default. Banks will have to be nationalised. This will lead to drastic social, political and economic changes.
That guy can keep both his hands. This was written around 1850. Better than Nostradamus. It also proves that humanity learns nothing from history.
