Executive's guide to the hybrid cloud (free ebook)
Summary: Hybrid clouds are helping enterprises find a balance between their internal IT infrastructure and public cloud services. This guide looks at the business advantages — and potential deal-killers — of hybrid cloud strategies.
For an increasing number of organizations, hybrid clouds, which combine internal computing infrastructure with public cloud computing resources, represent an effective approach to migrating to the cloud, allaying some security worries and enabling more efficient use of IT resources.
Hybrid strategies have begun making inroads in several industries, including the financial sector, healthcare, and retail sales. In a widely cited report, Gartner predicted that nearly 50 percent of enterprises will have hybrid cloud deployments by 2017.
Hybrid clouds can help ensure business continuity, allow provisioning to accommodate peak loads, and provide a safe platform for application testing. At the same time, they give companies direct access to their private infrastructure and let them maintain on-premise control over mission-critical data.
Is hybrid an ideal strategy for all companies — or a panacea for all cloud concerns? No. But it does offer compelling benefits that business and IT leaders will want to evaluate in the context of their own needs and objectives.
This ebook will help you understand what hybrid clouds offer, and where their potential strengths and liabilities exist.

The charge is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine or both.

Facebook couples page gives virtual tour of love life
Updated On: Nov 14 2012 03:02:30 AM EST
Facebook has launched a new page designed specifically for couples. Similar to friendship pages, the Facebook couples pages are joint profiles that tracks all Facebook content connecting the two users in a relationship.
Not only does the couples pages combine photos and posts in which a user and his/her partner are tagged, but other things such as comments shared between the two on Facebook are also displayed. Essentially, the page gives a complete tour of the couple's relationship on Facebook.
Many Facebook users are complaining that the consolidated view of relationships is "creepy" and goes too far. Facebook hasn't informed its users about the new feature. Most of the complaints come from the fact that there appears to be no simple way of opting out of the new couples pages.
The couples page exists for users who list their relationship status on their Facebook profile.
The views expressed below are not those of Click On Detroit, WDIV, or its affiliated companies. By clicking on "Post," you acknowledge that you have read the Terms of Service and your comment is in compliance with such terms. Readers, please help keep this discussion respectful and on topic by flagging comments that are offensive or inappropriate (hover over the commenter's name and you'll see the flag option appear on right side of that line).

None other than our favorite Latino orphan – El Chavo from El Chavo del Ocho!

— He may be in his 80s – and married – but that doesn't stop Chespirito from flirting with Sofia Vergara. Also known by his government name Roberto Gómez Bolaños, the legendary Mexican comic tweeted to the Colombian actress recently in reference to her appearance, People en Español reports. "I don't ask how you're doing because I have seen how you're doing," Chespirito wrote to Vergara in Spanish.

Chespirito, also known by his government name Roberto Gomez Bolaños, received the Legend Award at the 25th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards last week. The 82-year-old legendary Mexican actor is best known for his role in El Chavo del Ocho, a Televisa show that centers on the adventures of an orphan named Chavo and other inhabitants of an apartment building. Bolaños, who created the sitcom, played the orphan, who was named El Chavo.

I recently joined a couple of user groups here in Riverside, one for Ruby and another for Javascript and so far I'm very glad that I did.
I'm always striving to stay on top of best software practices and to keep learning new things (which is why I browse GitHub Explore frequently). I feel that I've been doing that pretty well – but I've found there are some things you can't get better at as a freelance developer without reaching out – specifically presentation skills.
It was a great night, Jack (another member of the user group) gave a presentation on EmberJS which is a similar MV* library. It was great to see the comparisons between the libraries – the main one being that KnockoutJS is configuration over convention, whereas EmberJS is convention over configuration. I liked that with Ember you don't have to do so much damn plumbing code.. definitely going to look at that for future projects.
As promised – you can find the demo code in a repository on my Github page here: https://github.com/cameronwilby/riversidejs_knockout.
Check it out if you want to see Knockout in action, but also go check out their learning site as they have a great beginners guide that essentially touches all the core components of Knockouts functionality.
Thanks to everybody that came out, and it looks like I'll be giving a presentation on Brain.js in two weeks – a neural network library written in Javascript that I think might be useful to create applications that learn a users preferences automatically.
We'll see how that goes..!

After twelve years of secret training, Atticus O'Sullivan is finally ready to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth and double the number of Druids in the world. But on the eve of the ritual, the world that thought he was dead abruptly discovers that he's still alive, and they would much rather he return to the grave.
Having no other choice, Atticus, his trusted Irish wolfhound, Oberon, and Granuaile travel to the base of Mount Olympus, where the Roman god Bacchus is anxious to take his sworn revenge - but he'll have to get in line behind an ancient vampire, a band of dark elves, and an old god of mischief, who all seem to have KILL THE DRUID at the top of their to-do lists.

Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler has lost out in his bid to retain Jordan Obita after the on-loan winger returned to Reading.

Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
The 18-year-old made five starts and one substitute appearance during his month-long stay at Priestfield, netting an impressive three times.
Hessenthaler had hoped to keep hold of Obita's services as Gills aim to gatecrash the play-off places in League Two, but the Royals are keen to see him return as they battle for promotion of their own to the Premier League.
Hessenthaler told Gillingham's official website: "We enjoyed the time he's been here, he's still only a young lad and this isn't an easy level for an Academy player to come into.
"In the games he played he did very well for us. He goes back to a club who are absolutely flying and I wish them well."

Did the Pres. state? "make sure that agriculture, urban needs, industrial needs, environmental and conservation concerns are all addressed". Is that not what the Army Corp. of Engs. was supposed to be doing?

There is a lot of water sitting around in the Dakotas. Maybe we should be investing in canals for irrigation and diversion. That is utilizing our resources. We have waterfowl levels 2-5 times of normal. With todays policies I don't understand the end goal it seems to be more of a control issue.

The problem in California is simply too many people in the wrong place. We don't need to grow government to solve that! Yet here we are - never ending climate change used as an excuse for never ending government. More than a few of us knew it would come to this, there's no denying it now!

We have trillions and trillions of gallons of excess water where I live in Ohio. In fact, the water table is getting so high that it is cumbersome. I say pipe Ohio's water out to California in exchange for fruits, vegetables, and nuts (th edible nuts, not the human ones!).

Not to deny concerns or my part of being responsible, it would be interesting to see a picture of temperature differences on the earths surface. I would guess Chicago and L.A. might be warm spots. As the weatherman, on a daily basis reports the Metro areas 5 to 10 degrees warmer than neighboring rural areas, I would assume this might have a lot to do with the change. One driving through an urban area at night, it is almost impossible to see the sky do to reflextion from needless ground illumination. It seems people just want to waste energy for various reasons, then deny being responsible. For what it is worth-We do not let our car idle when in a store and we turn out the lights when not in the room.

I wonder when they are going to bring up rice paddies producing about 20% of the worlds methane, which is worse than carbon, by about 20 times. I wonder why he didn't bring up all the water diverted to take care of minimally different strain of fish to keep it from going extinct, that smelt there isn't really different from others around. And why didn't they bring up the tree rings show the last century was the second wettest out of the last 12? Maybe it is suppose to be dry.

ARC and the PLC Reference Price
Mon Nov 24, 2014 02:39 PM CST
There is still a little confusion on the relationship between ARC averages and the PLC reference price. While the Agricultural Risk Coverage program is based on a rolling five-year market-year average, the ARC average price floor is the same the Price Loss Coverage reference price in the 2014 farm bill.
RFS Decision Could Alter Biofuels, Corn, Soybean Markets
Fri Nov 21, 2014 12:43 PM CST
As a result of EPA's decision to delay the release of the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard volumes until next year, an agriculture economist told DTN Friday that if the overall RFS volumes for 2015 jump to 15 billion gallons as outlined in the current law, there will be a gap between the so-called blend wall and the 2015 volumes.
Is Keystone XL Back to Square One?
Wed Nov 19, 2014 08:34 AM CST
Spinning the message following votes in Congress has always been a part of the American political scene, and that was no different Tuesday night. The U.S. Senate fell one vote short on a bill to force the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, 59-41, and of course both sides in the debate claimed victory.
Chevrolet Buys CO2 Credits from Working Ranch Grasslands
Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:49 AM CST
The work by prairie pothole ranchers to maintain grasslands in North Dakota is being used by a General Motors company to improve its carbon footprint, in a new partnership USDA announced Monday that led to the purchase of 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide reduction credits.
Sign up for ARC or PLC Next Week? Surely You Jest!
Tue Nov 11, 2014 10:53 AM CST
The Farm Service Agency also issued a news release on Monday letting everyone know farmers can rush to their local FSA offices on Nov. 17 to sign up for the new farm programs if they so choose. Perhaps the more important date farmers need to keep in mind is March 31, the deadline for making those program decisions.
Top Donors to House and Senate Ag Leaders
Mon Nov 10, 2014 11:14 AM CST
Who gives money to some of our agricultural leaders in Washington? Well here is a small rundown of some campaign contributors who I'm told have absolutely no influence on the outcome of past, present or future legislation. Nonetheless, these are the top donors to leaders of the Senate and House Ag Committees.

Wed Nov 5, 2014 01:43 PM CST

Republicans Sweep Key Senate Races
Tue Nov 4, 2014 11:21 PM CST
Much like the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats got shellacked across the country in several key Senate races, ceding the Senate to a Republican majority after eight years of Democratic control.
Biotech Label Battles Continue at Ballot Box

Vermont's legislature and governor adopted biotech labeling requirements earlier this year, but Colorado and Oregon mark another round of fighting for the hearts of minds of voters through ballot initiatives.
Cattle Industry, Land Group Presses Feds to Pull WOTUS Rule
Tue Oct 28, 2014 03:10 PM CDT
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association and the Public Lands Council asked the EPA to withdraw the proposed Clean Water Act rule in a 37-page comment letter submitted Tuesday, calling out the agency on a number of fronts including making claims that EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have not followed the Administrative Procedures Act during the public comment period that ends Nov. 14.
USDA Moving Ahead with Beef Checkoff Plans
Mon Oct 27, 2014 03:43 PM CDT
USDA is moving ahead with its plans to create a separate beef checkoff. A notice likely will appear sometime in early November informing cattle producers about the initiative.
Politicos Weigh in on USDA APH Yield Exclusion
Tue Oct 21, 2014 04:31 PM CDT
There was relatively limited reaction Tuesday from commodity groups and lawmakers about USDA's announcement to roll out the Actual Production History yield exclusion for crop insurance. Still, anyone who has some total crop collapses in their cropping history could see some benefits -- at the potential cost of higher premiums for that extra protection level.
Views in Congress Vary on COOL
Mon Oct 20, 2014 08:06 PM CDT
Congress declined to change COOL in the 2014 farm bill. House members blame the Senate for blocking any changes in COOL until the WTO completed its work. An appeal of the ruling on Monday likely could stretch out any possible retaliatory actions by Canada until late 2015. By then, either the Obama administration could draft yet another rule and leave it to the next administration to defend or Congress could opt to kill or change the rule. Some in Congress reacted to the WTO decision on Monday.
Vilsack Addresses Checkoff Controversy
Thu Oct 16, 2014 07:00 PM CDT
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the process could begin soon to start to create a new beef checkoff that would be in place by 2016. However, he's willing to pull the plug on that process if the beef industry could reach some consensus on changes to the current checkoff.
GAO: 'USDA Needs to Better Communicate Climate Plan'
Thu Oct 16, 2014 02:29 PM CDT
Although USDA has a plan in place to help U.S. farmers make adaptations for possible changes in climate, a new U.S. Government Accountability Office report said USDA is struggling to put together all of the pieces of its plan.
Offering Advice on Farm Bill Choices
Sun Oct 12, 2014 04:30 PM CDT
The menu of options for farm programs and the one-time, irrevocable decisions mean economists are now faced with laying out potential program choices for farmers. Those recommendations could help farmers stay afloat during the price downturn or could translate into lost income if the wrong counsel leads producers to make the wrong decision over the five-year lifespan of the farm bill.
Governors, Attorneys General say CWA Rule a Legal Threat to Farmers
Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:28 AM CDT
Since the release of the proposed waters of the U.S. rule, the EPA has maintained it is simply codifying those waters that already are jurisdictional, and that it narrows down the scope of those waters covered with new definitions, and farmers have nothing to fear if they don't already need permits.
Dem Senators ask President to Leave RFS Alone
Thu Oct 9, 2014 12:18 PM CDT
A pair of Democratic senators concerned that cutting the mandated production of biofuels in the Renewable Fuel Standard, have asked President Barack Obama to leave the 2014 RFS volumes in place. Their concerns are based on a recent analysis that said cutting biofuels production would lead to increased carbon pollution.
Senators Push for Withdraw of Endangered Species Act Rule
Wed Oct 8, 2014 03:44 PM CDT
A group of U.S. Senate leaders have asked the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to withdraw a rule that would allow the federal government to more easily designate land and water as critical habitat through the Endangered Species Act, in a letter to the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Commerce Wednesday.
ARC and the PLC Reference Price
Mon Oct 6, 2014 02:14 PM CDT
I have to correct some bad information here. Last week, a farmer emailed me asking about the lowest price that can be used on Agricultural Risk Coverage in factoring the five-year Olympic average. I wrongly said ARC would always use the market-year average price and people should separate out the reference prices used for Price Loss Coverage.

One of the best ways to test your mobile app is on the device. This is a must if your app uses native (PhoneGap) API such as the Camera or the Barcode scanner. Installing the app on the device after every small update is very time consuming. That's exactly why we built the Appery.io Tester app. It's a very simple app that allows you to launch your native app and test any native APIs without needing to install it each time. We had the Android version for some time now and now we have also launched the iOS version.

I came into this school thinking it was going to a lot of fun and that everyone would be friendly and that i would be able to socialize with other people without having to be intoxicated. However, i was wrong this school is full of druggies and drunks that could absolutely care less about the academics. the facilities are absolutely horrible for example the wifi is terrible meaning you will wait 10 minutes just to load google. to make things worse there is a power outage once every 2 weeks and they typically last for a whole day or two.. Also being that west virginia is a state that receives a lot of snow be prepared to walk to class on unsalted/unplowed side walks because they are too cheap to plow or salt anywhere. I decided to come to bethany because i thought the dorms were nice and i wanted to play baseball. well turned out the dorms weren't as nice as they seemed due to power outages and shitty/nonexistant internet. As far as baseball goes the coach is an idiot to put it nicely. we won a total of 2 games out of 40 yet he still would stick the same people out there instead of taking his favorites out. Coming to this school was an complete mistake on my part and i truly do regret it. do not come to this school

Beef Mushroom Spaghetti
Norene Wright from Manilla, Indiana uses just six simple ingredients to prepare this hearty spaghetti casserole. "Garnish it with Parmesan cheese and serve it with a tossed salad and garlic bread," she recommends.
4 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + freezing Bake: 35 min.
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/4 cup water
1 package (7 ounces) thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
In a large skillet, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until
the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, soup
and water. Add spaghetti; toss to coat.
Place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Cover and freeze for up
to 3 months.
To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator. Cover and bake at
350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4

"I purchased a Michael Kors watch less than 2 months ago from World of Watches. Previously had an $80 Dakota that lasted 10 years. Decided to upgrade.....? The delivery process was great but now the clasp has broken on the band. Is not covered by warranty plus I have to pay shipping both ways for repair and will take 6-8 weeks? What kind of crap is this? Looks like I won't be dealing with them again if this is how they handle customers. Did I say that this is a bunch of crap?"
"Purchased $80.00 Rotary watch December 2013. In February 2014 the screw down crown fell off. I mailed the watch with $15.00 money order (they requested) to have the crown replaced. Never heard a word. Fast forward to June 2014. Called customer service, they stated they had emailed me to inform me it would be an additional $29.99 to fix it. I never received their e-mail. I am flabbergasted at the gall they have to charge an additional $ for a simple crown. Learned valuable lesson; will not be purchasing anything on WOW again! Inferior quality watch and inferior Repair customer service."
"The sunglasses I ordered were horribly cheap knockoffs that were completely crooked."
"Stay away!! It's your luck you might get a new piece or a beat up one.
Called at order if I can get a gift receipt and I was told it's not possible.
Received the order just in time to be given as a present and was so disappointed that the chain had scratches. Had no time to send it back. Email their customer service about the issue and they never got back to me. It's been a week now"
"Garbage. Stay away. Don't even want to talk about the customer service, or the lack of it. Watch was broke when i got it. Second one i got looks like it was a display watch. Never again."
"Always have what I am looking for, and plenty of great suprises. Always sending people to your sight, great store, great selection and great prices."
"It is a beautiful watch which arrived on time."
"My experience at World of Watches was just about perfect. They had the watch I wanted at a reasonable price and shipped it to me in 2 days with free shipping. I didn't return my purchase, but they provide the info you need to do so (it wasn't clear to me who paid the return shipping or if you had to pay for the initial shipping if you returned a working item). The one thing I didn't like was their pricing/sale strategies. Depending on how I accessed the page (through an email or ad or direct link) the price of the watch was considerably different. They also feature plenty of (seemingly) time limited sales.Overall, I would absolutely buy from them again, but I would spend some time making sure I was getting their best price."
"This place is a SCAM. They sell GREY MARKET products which mean the warranty will not be honored by the manufacture and the products you receive will be refurbished or defective.
If you have to return it for any reason you are in for a long, long, long process. Customer service reads from a script. Management will deny anything is wrong with the watch.
They hide behind 10 to 15 different websites all registered to the same company. Ever wonder how several internet sites have the same exact price and exact number of products left? Here is just a few other names they secretly go by.
Criminals frequently have several assumed names, think about it.
"I bought 2 technomarine watches on january 2013 and both were damaged at about the same time and with only 8 months of use. Both seemed to have damaged batteries. On October 2013 I sent the 2 watches for service and Technomarine services told me that one had a broken screen, which is not true and the second despite both being under warranty and having sent the mail receipt sent to me by worldofwatches, they tells me that the watch does not have warranty. I'm very disspointed with the "warranty". Be careful!"
"I received very good customer service from day one.However W.O.W. cannot be held responsible for the Australian end of the delivery stage.A bit slack to say the least.I am very happy with the watch I ordered & received. "
"I was very well pleased with the quality of the merchandise and the quick delivery to home. My wife is absolutely in love with the watch I purchased for her. I will certainly visit this site again and again for future purchases. "
Great product, great price, fast shipping!"
"I love my watch. I will be ordering again from you in the near future. "
"I recently purchased a Invicta watch for my husband. The watch was beautiful but stopped working after the first month. WorldOfWatches.com informed me I'd have to contact Invicta. Invicta say's "return the watch to us along with $20.00 & then we'll give you the total cost for repair" What kind of warranty is that?!!! Buyers beware when ordering from WorldOdWatches.com & or Invicta that their warranty is a warranty to tell you how much you'll have to pay for a repair of a BRAND NEW WATCH!"

Seaport battle looms as Israel plans new competition
Israel is betting its economic future on high-tech exports but faces a low-tech bottleneck in state-owned seaports subject to work stoppages and slowdowns because of the enormous strength of their unions.
All that may be about to change.
The government, for years unwilling to risk a confrontation that could paralyze trade given that 99 percent of exports and imports are transported by ship, last month pledged to end the monopolies of the two main ports of Ashdod and Haifa.
By introducing private piers to compete with the two ports, service would improve and prices would drop across the board, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
The port unions - possibly the most powerful in the country with just 2,400 workers earning double the average public sector salary - are likely to be severely weakened and may have to make concessions or face layoffs.
At a time when the middle class is squeezed by slow economic growth and high costs, there is little sympathy for their plight among average Israelis, let alone businessmen.
"Labour unions in the ports are very strong, very belligerent, very egotistical and are using their control of a key state property against the state," said Uriel Lynn, president of the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce.
The unions declined to speak with Reuters for this article and referred questions to the umbrella Histadrut labour federation.
But in a rare television interview in January, the head of the Ashdod union Alon Hassan defended the role of collective bargaining and the right to strike, protected by law, and said the port workers were misunderstood.
"I have no criminal background, and sadly, they point at me in the streets like some mafioso," he told Israel's Channel 10.
"I see and hear and read that on the outside they don't like us, the port workers, and me specifically. That they paint me as an extortionist, a problematic person. Something I am not."
The unions will not budge, he said: "I am protecting the workers' agreements that have been signed for tens of years. Fanatically. I am not open to unilateral attempts to breach such agreements."
Articulating the government's position, Finance Minister Yair Lapid said simply: "Let there be war."
Netanyahu's Mandate
Netanyahu was reelected in January with a mandate to do whatever it takes to fix the moribund economy, which grew 3.2 percent in 2012, its slowest pace in three years. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis staged unprecedented nationwide protests in mid-2011 over high housing costs and soaring prices.
Netanyahu has placed the blame for the high cost of living on monopolies and cartels that prevent competition and began cracking down, starting with the country's most vital services.
On April 21 the government approved an open skies deal that liberalizes aviation between Israel and Europe and is expected to bring in more foreign airlines and lower air fares. A two-day strike at flag carrier El Al and two smaller Israeli airlines ended with the government agreeing to pay a higher portion of the airlines' security costs.
Car importers and television operators are also in Netanyahu's sights.
Few groups wield as much power as the port workers, as gatekeepers for Israel's international commerce, however.
The Manufacturers Association of Israel said the country lost 25 million shekels ($7 million) directly and tens of millions more indirectly in a dispute at Ashdod port in April.
The workers, who held a 10-day slowdown in protest at a new rule requiring port navigators to stay on site throughout their shift even at quiet times, forced 32 cargo ships to wait hours off the coast.
Five ships were eventually redirected to Haifa about 80 miles to the north and five others simply "took off", the manufacturers' group said.

Really Tasty Tomato Sauce For Stuffed Cabbage (Golabki)
- monavano Oct 1, 2013 09:08 AM
I've been making Polish stuffed cabbage for years, and eating it all my life. I feel like I've improved on my mother's basic recipe and am happy with the meat and rice stuffing, but I'd like to kick up the tomato sauce a notch or two.
Mom made the tomato sauce with Campbell's tomato soup and ketchup. She'd also lay raw bacon across the top, which I do from time to time.
My tomato sauce varies from just fresh tomato sauce or canned sauce/puree, to adding sweet and sour components like vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, agave, ketchup etc.
So, does anyone have a favorite tomato sauce recipe for stuffed cabbage that is good enough to hold its own along with the stuffed cabbage itself?
I need inspiration!
My wife of 53+ years is of Italian descent and uses a combination of Colavita and Hunt's No Salt Added sauces for pasta dishes. I like Classico sauces. Stay away from the cheap ones that have High Fructose Corn Sweetener as an ingredient. Read the ingredient list on the label before you buy any commercial tomato sauces.
My wife also adds some red wine to the canned products as she prepares the sauce combination for dinner. Maybe that'll kick the sauce up a notch for you.
My wife is part Slovak and her family uses the soup too, which I don't really like. I used pureed tomato, onion and homemade chicken stock the last time and it worked well
this version is pretty close to what I've always followed. The only thing I add to the tomato sauce not listed is cider vinegar; just 2 T. for added kick.
re: magiesmom
Prunes... now that really interests me. They were prominent in Polish cooking and baking.
re: monavano
Prunes add a nice sweetness and richness to the sauce. I've not made the sauce this way myself but I have tasted the sauce prepared using dried prunes and it was tasty.
re: monavano
You don't need too many, but they lend both a sweetness and silky texture.
re: magiesmom
I'm sold-- will definitely give this a try.
re: hovirag
I do want to try it with a lemon sauce or sour cream sauce.
In a way, sour cream becomes a sort of sauce for my golabki. When I make it, it's always with mashed potatoes and cucumber salad with sour cream dressing.
The best part of the meal is when it all melds together ;-)
Can you share your recipe for your sauce?
re: monavano
sorry for the confusion - I didn't mean sauce - we just put sour cream on it and it melts :) so no recipe needed for this!
and we eat it with bread only, no side dish - it is a fulfilling dish on its own
hope this helps :)
re: hovirag
Got it! Yes, sour cream is a must.
Growing up, this meal was a trinity of golabki, mashed potatoes and cuke salad. Keeping that tradition is very comforting and Proustian for me ;-)
My family used tomatoe soup and cooked cabbage rolls on top of stove. The key flavor was always hidden when the recipie was passed on. Take a fry oan, oil and mix with flour. Stir until the flour turns brown (dark rue) then thicken tomatoe soup! You won't be sorry, it's out of this world good!

NOTES: This table is included in the section on Air Force programs in Appendix C of the Comprehensive Plan, but is, in fact, a DoD-wide initiative. In addition, the Navy makes use of a software tool called the Navy Drug Screening Program that randomizes testing. EBP = evidence-based practice.
The Military and Civilian Drug Testing Program is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as both a prevention and screening program. The program is guided by policy (DoD, 1994), and the stated prevention aim is deterrence. The implied prevention mediator is increasing the perceived negative consequences of positive drug testing rather than drug use per se. As described in Chapter 5, however, there is no clear evidence from controlled studies that drug testing is an effective prevention strategy. While the decline in rates of substance use in the military correlates temporally with the inception of drug testing for specific substances (see Chapter 2), there have been no studies assessing the causal relationship between the two; therefore, the committee cannot report on the effectiveness of the drug testing program in preventing SUDs.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored goals 30 seconds apart late in the third period to help the San Jose Sharks clinch their ninth straight playoff berth with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.
Raffi Torres also scored for the Sharks, who moved into a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with Los Angeles with two games remaining in the race for home-ice advantage in the first round. The Sharks visit the Kings in the season finale on Saturday.
Antoine Roussel and Loui Eriksson scored for the Stars, whose playoff hopes were dealt a serious blow. Dallas remains two points behind ninth-place Detroit and three behind eighth-place Columbus in the race for the final playoff spot. The Red Wings have a game in hand over both teams. The Stars end the season with home games against Columbus and Detroit.

Hair Salon reviews in Greenville
I have been going to this I made an appointment for my daughter to have a facial with Ally and she loved it. I also had a
Worse haircut I have ever had. I was butchered on top and have had to wear a hat everywhere I go for the past week and half and it looks no better so far. Even my husband said he couldn't tell me it wasn't bad without lying to me. People that I have let see it are appalled. The girl that did it didn't seem to concerned and she has done my hair at least four times before which were ok, not great but ok. I have found it very hard to find anyone who cares and is consistent in what they do. I was actually told that my hair grows fairly fast so should look ok in a couple weeks. The girl that is the trainer/manager looked at it and had the other girl shape it up more but it didn't help. Where is the customer service and professionalism??
I have been going to ichibahn for a year or so for eyebrow waxing. I love No complaints, I love this place!
I've had shoulder length hair for the last 15 years and since moving to FL decided it was time to go short again. I'm not good with fussing with my hair and needed a style that I could deal with. of love and she banded it and packaged it for me to send to them. Since then I have gone back to
It took years to find someone who could cut my hair in a style that would work with my "cow-licky", curly, extremely thick hair. Now, even 6 weeks after the cut, my hair still looks nice and is easy to manage.
the coloring part went well.....a little scary though as one of the other stylist had her two dogs there, one of which promptly bit the leg of the guy coming in their door to change the drinking water bottle. I was sitting with color on my head while they attended to this guy's wound. I clearly came in with more of a "bobbed" style cut, left with several hacked layers, the back of my hair is a disaster! I specifically asked not to have layers. Then the stylist told me my old cut made me look old and I ended up with feathery wings and her trying to get my hair to conform to something it was not going to do.she knew I was not happy and stated that maybe I will like it in a few weeks. Wow. I have baby fine hair and all of these hack

Chicken Dance Gets Student Chased Out of Class by Professor
As students in Dr. Owen Priest's class mentally prepared to learn some organic chemistry, Northwestern University freshman Jimmy Clifton strolled into class in a chicken suit and dazzled some young minds with a rousing rendition of the "Chicken Dance" for charity.
As hilarious as it is to watch a kid in a bird suit shaking his tail feather in front of his peers, the big lolz come when Dr. Priest leaps the table and chases Jimmy out the damn lecture hall. Wish you were there? We do, too. ENJOY!
And if you're wondering whatever happened the boy in the chicken suit, here's his side of the story.

If you do the math, with the cost of tuition, one hour of lecture time costs several thousand dollars. Yeah, lets waste it watching some mornon dance.

you've never sat through a chemistry lecture have you?

a mornon? is that a mentally-challenge mormon or do you need to spend some of the tuition money on remedial spelling or perhaps keyboarding skills? ho ho ho - couldn'[t resist since you were offended by the wasting of precious academic dollars.
like beach balls at graduation that seem to piss administration off or other silly things that break the stiffness of many lives, my thoughts to all are "lighten up" - enjoy the silly moments that dancing chickens can provide. having sat through undergraduate classes for the liberal arts unusable BA followed by a much more expensive MPA, there was little that came out of any professor's mouth that warranted the cost and i would have learned more life 101 lessons from the joy of dancing poultry.
guess you have to get older to appreciate how laughter is the greatest lesson you will ever learn.

to funny! It's to bad things like this aren't going around all the time. What did it hurt and he actually was doing it for charity. We need all the funny, happy things we can get now a days. Good Job! Enough said.

By Jennifer
that was hilarious. I wish they filmed a lil more. I wanted to see what happened after the teacher caught him.
and to kcdgenius: yes tuition costs, even though I pay out of my pocket thousands of dollars for school, I wouldn't have minded seeing that in my classroom, who cares about losing an hour lecture? lol plus it wasn't an hour, barelyl 5 minutes.
Monday 22 March
By techcoquette
That was so funny! I couldn't help but LOL.
@KCDGenius Umm...chill out. Have you ever zoned out in class for a minute or, say I don't know, checked your cell? Do you consider that wasting your precious tuition money?

Actually it's only 52 seconds of class time; in addition, profs don't always start on time so what's one minute less? I have a feeling you're just a bitter, bitter person who don't have a sense of humor.
He's doing it for charity; GO FOR IT!

Did you ever consider that the professor might have been in on it? Why did he jump over the counter rather than going around it? I've had professors that would go along with something like this.
Tuesday 23 March
By Pete
No wonder edu-ma-kation is so expensive!
Between this kind of crap, law suits, and over paid "administrators," they keep schools at all levels flat broke.
But it's "all in fun" - until YOU have to pay for it!

Really funny!!! I loved that Professor leaping over the desk!! Wish I had a chicken like that to break up some of my classes years ago.

Top 100 Penguin Facts
- The emperor penguin is the only animal that inhabits the open ice of Antarctica throughout winter, when wind chills can reach -76°F.
- In Antarctica, the leopard seal is the main predator of penguins. In winter, when other food is scarce, they eat around 5 penguins a day.
- Emperor penguins sometimes use their long, pointed beaks as ice picks to pull themselves out of slushy water onto sea ice.
- Rockhopper penguins nest along some of the roughest coastlines in the world and have a reputation for taking a beating and never giving up.
- Rockhopper penguins nest on cliffs 100 yards or more above the sea. As they hop their way up, they sometimes slip and fall on the wet rocks.
- Humboldt penguins nest in one of the driest places on Earth – the coastal deserts of Peru.
- Humboldt penguins are named after the Humboldt Current, which brings ice cold water and plenty of fish to the coasts of South America.
- Emperor penguins negotiate ice walls, crevasses and other obstacles on their annual march to their breeding grounds in Antarctica.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- Rockhopper penguins use their claws like crampons and their beak like a climbing axe to reach their nesting sites high atop rocky cliffs.
- Rockhopper penguins have thick blubber that acts like a shock absorber if they slip and fall while scaling the rocky cliffs where they nest.
- Emperor penguins huddle together to stay warm during blizzards. A lone penguin may not make it through the night.
- Humboldt penguin colonies are built on centuries upon centuries of penguin poop. They burrow into the guano to build their nests.
- Some penguins, like rockhoppers and Humboldts, mate for life. Others, including emperor penguins, pair up for only a single breeding season.
- Penguins that mate for life may sing or perform "ecstatic displays†when they reunite at the start of the breeding season.
- Each mating season, female emperor penguins do the choosing. The males stand in a line and display, keeping their beaks raised high.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- Once a female emperor penguin has chosen her mate, the pair will gracefully mirror one another's movements to secure their bond.
- Female emperor penguins sometimes fight over a desired male, shoving, pecking and even slapping at one another with their flippers.
- Once emperor penguins partner up for the breeding season, the pair will waddle around the colony together to establish that they're a couple.
- When an emperor penguin lays her egg, she pushes it forward onto her feet with a flip of her tail, never letting it touch the cold sea ice.
- The survival of an emperor penguin's egg depends on the strength and endurance of the father, who guards it during the icy depths of winter.
- Some penguins lay 2 eggs as an insurance policy against predators. Others, like emperor penguins, focus all of their energy on a single egg.
- Some penguins have to defend their eggs and chicks against vultures, which can be twice the size of a penguin.
- A male emperor penguin will tenderly stroke the egg to encourage his partner to pass it to him and leave for her winter feeding grounds.
- Female emperor penguins spend the harsh Antarctic winter at sea, returning to the colony in spring with food for her newborn chick.
- Emperor penguins cradle their egg on their feet. It the egg touches the sea ice for more than a few moments, it will freeze.
- Once an emperor penguin chick has hatched, its calls encourage other chicks in the colony to peck their way out of their shells.
- In an emperor penguin colony, all of the eggs hatch at almost the exact same time – this can be more than 2,000 eggs in a single night.
- An emperor penguin chick's very first meal is a fatty protein paste that the father produces from glands in his throat.
- Humboldt penguins nest in penguin poop. If they don't bathe often, the filth of their nesting sites bakes into their feathers, ruining them.
- Humboldt penguins have a unique defense against predators: poop. If a gull pokes its head in a Humboldt nest, it may get an eyeful!
- Toward the end of winter, female emperor penguins must walk 80 miles or more over the sea ice to return to their hungry chicks.
- A male emperor penguin becomes so attached to his egg that he has trouble surrendering it to the female in spring, even though he's starving.
- Unique antibiotics in an emperor penguin's stomach preserve fish for up to 3 months, allowing the mom to give her chick its first solid meal.
- In spring, snow thaws and refreezes in Antarctica, creating "skating rinks†that emperor penguin chicks use to practice walking on ice.
- Rockhopper penguin colonies have "sitters†that watch the chicks, corralling them together while their parents are off hunting at sea.
- To protect their chicks, rockhopper penguins will form mobs to fight off much larger predators, such as vultures and giant petrels.
- In Peru, vampire bats feed on Humboldt penguins at night. The bats can spread rabies throughout the colony and severely weaken the chicks.
- Rockhopper chicks start hopping at an early age. This strengthens their leg muscles and eventually helps them shake off their baby coats.
- A penguin's fluffy baby coat makes it bob like a cork in the water. It must wait for its adult feathers to grow in before going swimming.
- There are 17 penguin species, including little-known types like Macquarie Island's royal penguin with its odd yellow mop of head feathers.
- Penguin predators have difficulty distinguishing a penguin's white belly from the reflective surface of the water.
- A penguin's black-and-white coat is a form of camouflage called "countershading.â€
- A penguin's body is hydrodynamic, or shaped for maximum efficiency in the water. It's tapered at both ends, like a torpedo, to reduce drag.
- Antarctica's emperor penguin is the world's largest penguin. It has an average height of 45 inches and weighs approximately 90 pounds.
- New Zealand's fairy penguin is the world's smallest. It stands 10 inches high and weighs 2.5 pounds – 36 times less than an emperor penguin.
- All 17 species of penguin eat only seafood – mainly krill, squid and various species of fish.
- Penguins use their long, pointy beaks to catch their often slippery prey and have a textured tongue for holding on while swallowing.
- Penguins spend as much as 75% of their lives at sea, but all penguins mate, nest and give birth on land or sea ice.
- The Galapagos penguin lives at the equator and occasionally crosses to the northern hemisphere. All other penguins live in the South.
- 13 of the 17 recognized species of penguin are considered threatened or endangered. Some are even on the brink of extinction.
- The world's most endangered penguins are the African, northern rockhopper, yellow-eyed, Galapagos and erect-crested penguins.
- Habitat loss due to human encroachment, climate change, pollution and predation by cats and dogs are the biggest threats to penguins.
- In a bit of parenting role reversal, emperor penguin males incubate the egg and provide the chick its first meal (from glands in his throat).
- Penguins have waterproof feathers that help keep them insulated. They spend a lot of time grooming to keep their coats in perfect shape.
- Magellanic penguins are named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who first spotted them in 1520 on his voyage around the world.
- Most male and female penguins look identical. In mating season, you can spot the female by the muddy footprints left on her back by the male.
- The most populous penguin species is the macaroni penguin, which has an estimated 11,654,000 breeding pairs.
- There are only an estimated 6,000 to 15,000 Galapagos penguins remaining, making them the world's rarest penguin species.
- You can make a general guess about where a penguin lives based on its body size: the larger the penguin, the colder its environment.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- During breeding season, some penguin species form large groups called "rookeries†that may include several thousand penguins.
- Each individual penguin has a distinct call. This allows them to find their own unique mate and chick even in very large groups.

- The word "penguin†first appeared in the 16th century as a synonym for great auk, a similar-looking bird common to the northern hemisphere.
- The earliest known penguins lived 66 million years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. It's likely they weren't entirely flightless.
- The earliest known penguin species, Waimanu manneringi, looked like a loon. It lived in Antarctica and southern New Zealand.
- The tallest penguin ever reached nearly 6 feet and weighed 200 lbs. Called Nordenskjoeld's giant penguin, it lived 45-37 million years ago.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- Penguins preserve a layer of air in their smooth plumage to ensure buoyancy and to help insulate their body in cold water.
- On land, penguins use their tails and wings to maintain balance when standing upright.
- Average penguin diving speeds range from 3.7 to 7.5 mph, but when startled they may reach up to 17 or even 20 mph.
- Small penguins generally find their food near the surface. Large penguins, like the king and emperor, dive deep if needed to find food.
- The deepest recorded penguin dive was an emperor penguin that reached a depth of 1,870 feet (over 1/3 of a mile). The dive lasted 22 minutes.
- When penguins slide on their bellies across the snow, it's called "tobogganing.†This allows them to conserve energy while moving quickly.
- On land, penguins jump with both of their feet close together in order to move quickly or cross steep or rocky terrain.
- Penguins have excellent underwater eyesight, which allows them to locate prey easily and avoid predators.
- The emperor penguin's large surface area to mass ratio helps prevent excessive heat loss.
- Emperor penguins can control blood flow to their feet and flippers to prevent their blood supply from getting too cold.
- In winter, male emperor penguins huddle together for warmth, rotating positions so that everyone gets a turn in the center of the heat pack.
- Penguins can drink salt water. They have specialized nasal glands that filter excess salt from their bloodstream, preventing hypertension.
- Homosexual behavior was first observed in penguins in 1911. At the time, it was described as "depraved†and the report was suppressed.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- Chinstrap, macaroni and king penguins have the largest breeding colonies, numbering up to several hundred thousand breeding pairs.
- Yellow-eyed, Fiordland and Gentoo penguins tend to breed in relatively small colonies with as few as 100 breeding pairs per colony.
- Penguin eggs are the smallest of any bird relative to the size of the parent. An emperor penguin's egg is only 2.3% of its adult body weight.
- Count down the Top 100 Penguin Facts. You'll be amazed at what you don't know about penguins!
- Penguins lay their eggs in adverse conditions, so the shells tend to be very thick – roughly 10 to 16% the total weight of the egg.
- When a penguin mom loses her chick, she may attempt to steal another. Other penguin moms often band together to help prevent her thievery.
- In some penguin species, the chicks assemble in large groups called "crèches†and are watched over by penguin babysitters.
- The largest penguin colony in the world is a chinstrap penguin colony in the South Sandwich Islands that numbers roughly 2 million penguins.
- Adelie penguins can accelerate from 0 to 16 mph in less than a second, allowing them to avoid leopard seals when entering the water.
- Galapagos penguins – which live along the equator – hold their flippers out to keep cool. This also helps protect their feet against sunburn.
- Macaroni penguins select their mates by the intensity of their yellow head feathers, red eyes and red beak, which can indicate health.
- Gentoo penguin chicks make a special sound when pecking at their parent's beak to get them to open up and regurgitate food.
- There are three main types of penguin calls: a contact call (for finding one another), a display call (used in mating) and a threat call.
- Emperor penguins have the widest range of vocalizations among penguins, including a trumpet, a high-pitched bray and a loud "ah†sound.
- An "ecstatic penguin display" is a courtship display where a male bird pumps his chest, lifts his beak, holds out his flippers and brays.

USDA Extends Dairy Forward PricingPrint
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service published a final rule Friday to resume its Dairy Forward Pricing Program, as mandated by the 2014 farm bill, and extend it through 2018.
The Dairy Forward Pricing Program, which allows farmers to lock down forward price contracts with milk handlers, had expired along with much of the 2008 farm bill on Sept. 30.
"The program allows regulated handlers to pay farmers in accordance with the terms of a forward contract instead of paying the minimum federal order blend price for pooled milk," USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service explains on its website.
"The 2014 farm bill (H.R. 2642) was signed into law on Feb. 7, 2014, and extends the program to allow new contracts to be entered into until Sept. 30, 2018. Any forward contract entered into up and until the Sept. 30, 2018, deadline is subject to a September 30, 2021, expiration date to meet the terms of the contract," AMS clarifies in its final rule.
