Microsoft to herd third parties with licensing patent
Microsoft has applied for a US patent that the company hopes will close a loophole when it comes to licensing software to third parties. Redmond put forward its request to patent what it has dubbed the "extensible agent-based license structure" on 25 June 2008. The USPTO published the firm's application, which is credited to …
I remember when
I remember when, back in the dim and distant past, there was a company called DEC.
And when distributing DEC OS and apps on CD (all OSes, all apps) rather than ordering a tape per OS or app became fashionable, DEC needed something to allow folks (end users, software houses, etc) to manage their licences (generating licences if you're a software house, entering them if you're an end user).
It was called the Licence Management Facility, or LMF, and use of products was authorised with things called Product Authorisation Keys which at the time seemed long and tedious but actually are only marginally longer than a typically MS product key these days, considering the flexibility they provided.
LMF licences could be permanent, or they could belimited lifetime. They could be node-locked or not. They could be dependent on the size of CPU (cheap licence on low power CPU). Etc. Basically, everything you could want was there.
And then later there was FlexLM.
It's hard to imagine what MS could be patenting that wasn't previously done (and likely done better) in LMF or FlexLM.
It does have an awful ring of familiarity doesn't it?
This seems awfully familiar. Not at all unlike FlexLM (or its successor, whatever it's called).
Distributed licensing models like this one are two a penny (licensed pennies) and I'm sure the job I turned down three years could have had a block diagram just like that one.
Mind you one of the things that worried me then about that and worries me about this is that you would appear to require a network connection to the Big Bad Internet to get your licenses; although I suppose MS would license, at huge cost, proxy license servers that would never, ever be copied by anyone, ho no. What me, cynical?
Sounds more like...
...they are trying to take control of licensing on all software on windows machines. i.e. sign up (and pay) for our licensing or sod off and take your open source with you. They greatly envy the Apple App Store model and want to copy it for their platform.
Can't help but feel sorry ...
For all those stuck with MS and all it's works.
Already done?
Isn't Bentley Systems using this already in it's latest version of Microstation? If not, it's really close.
Would be nice
To see M$ take this one on, and then get taken to the cleaners by the writers of the stuff already mentioned.
Whatever happened to 'prior art'?

At least the Sedona Red Rock High School golf team could take one test early.
Already a team qualifier for the Division III state tournament, the Scorpions passed what head coach Dennis Mobley called their "midterms" April 4 and 5 at the Wrangler Invitational.
"I feel like we passed our 'midterms' in the sense that we can compete with a lot of the top Division III golf teams now," Mobley said after SRRHS finished in seventh place — right in the middle of the field at the two-day, 36-hole invitational at Wickenburg Country Club. "The field included eight teams that qualified for last year's state tournament."
Junior Gary Schlee shot a team-low 76 in the second round of the invitational to also finish in seventh place out of a field of 75 golfers.
For the full story, please see the Wednesday, April 16, issue of the Sedona Red Rock News.

The "Adopt-A-Senior" Program spreads holiday cheer every Christmas. Since 1999 the Fort Myers Police Department and other City employees have honored our City's seniors with Christmas gifts.
Here's how it works; Police and City employees that sign-up for the program are paired with a senior and given a wish list. The employee then buys their senior a gift from their list. "I am always impressed with our employees and their willingness to serve the community both professionally and personally," said Chief Doug Baker. "It's a wonderful event that shares the spirit of Christmas with people who might otherwise be alone this time of year."
Annually close to 200 seniors from public housing facilities register for the event. FMPD Crime Prevention Practitioner Gretchen Lorenzo assists with the shopping and wrapping gifts. She also coordinates a buffet-style lunch with the Police Chief and Santa. Many area businesses also share in the good tidings by donating food and services.
For more information about the event or to become a sponsor contact Gretchen Lorenzo at 239-321-7753.

We've been visiting the South Island on a regular basis for years, but have only been to the NI once, and that was back in 1994.
Spouse and I are considering a semi-spontaneous July visit to the North Island - only have about 10 days, and we're pretty clueless about where to begin.
We'll fly in/out of Auckland, coming from Perth. We love a good drop, and are interested in visiting the wine region of Martinborough, home to the best pinot noir spouse has ever had. We're also avid walkers and love the outdoors and national parks.
Also considering a few days in Wellington, but otherwise very much want to avoid cities.
Feeling rather lost at the moment, and would much appreciate any suggestions for a leisurely visit, perhaps a loop from Wellington with a return flight to Auckland.
All suggestions appreciated.
First trip to the North Island in many years, not sure where to start

mel, as you know we've only been to NZ once and of our 17 nights, only 4 of them were spent on the NI. Therefore, we missed quite a lot. however, we saw enough of the Napier area to think that you might enjoy it there - lots of good wineries, some walks that we didn't do as it was raining, and when it wasn't, a trip out to see the gannets which was one of the highlights of our visit.
The other area we liked a lot, though we didn't see that much of it, was the Coromandel peninsular where we would have liked to spend longer. we found the area between the Coromandel and Napier was pretty interesting, especially the mining area [around Waihi I think] which reminded us of home and where there looked to be quite a few nice walks.
We never got further north than that - in particular we never got to the Bay of Islands so I don't know what it's like in July. warmer than Dunedin though I should think!
Report Abuse
We've also been only once to NZ, splitting two weeks between north and south islands.
For North Island, I would second Ann's recommendation for Napier, charming small city and interesting area. We really liked Russell in the Bay of Islands despite 24 hours of torrential rain. Waitangi is nearby. Lake Taupo was quaint, we took a cruise on the lake that was very scenic and enjoyable.
Rotorua is scenic if smelly, but the natural hot springs were soothing and it was fun to watch silver jewellery turn black. The Kaikoura Coast was very pretty. Wellington was hard to enjoy with the constant wind, but Te Papa museum excellent.
In Auckland we liked the ferry over to Devenport and a stroll around, plus the lunch at Skytower revolving restaurant was excellent food and included the lift price. Amazing views from up there.

Thank you both, food for thought.

Hi, Mel.
While in Napier try to fit in a visit (or two) to Havelock North. We have some lovely vineyards and restaurants here.
I know everyone raves about the Martinborough wines but I believe Hawke's Bay has an equally if not better selection of wines.
We will be between Wellington and Hawke's Bay until the middle of July when we will finally be in residence in "the Bay'.
There are some great walks around Wellington although I'm not sure of their suitability in July.
Research The Forgotten Highway near Wanganui as an alternative to the main road to Auckland. When going to Hamilton we usually go through Taihape and Taumaranui but I can't remember where we come out (all our maps are in Havelock North so I can't check routes).

Many thanks Dot.

Hi Melnq8,
Although I've been all over the North Island, never in mid winter!
In 2010 I stayed at this place in Martinborough which is run by a contract winemaker. If you aren't allergic to cats they are a fun couple. (The cats are confined to the main house). Chris is Australian but studied at UC Davis. Worth staying there just to sip one or two of his own bottles in the evening. Martinborough is dead flat so you can stumble between wineries easily which helps with the pacing.
On that trip I combined it with Wellington, Paraparaumu and Kapiti Island.
Although you can day trip to Kapiti it is really a special experience to spend the night with John, Amo and Minnie. They offer a nighttime kiwi walk. The weather between Paraparumu and the Island can scrub your boat ride, and I'm not sure what it would be like in July (Or if they even run in July!)
If it was summer I would recommend Tongariro and the central volcanic region but it will be very cold east of the volcanos.
Some great roads eg the Whanganui River Road which was not sealed (and scary) when I did it, but now it should be mostly paved.
It won't really be beach weather in the north so not sure I'd head up that way.

Forgot the west coast beaches, which would be scenic if it's not raining, Bethell's is pretty but there are several others.

Thanks mlgb, great suggestions. We're still waffling. We'd planned to go to South Australia, but spouse is pushing for the NI instead. I'm still on the fence, long way to go for such a short time.

Have you been to the Bay of Island Mel, if not I would definitely put this into the equation. I had been there many years ago, but my DH had never been. We did a trip two years ago flew into Auckland and then drove the Twin Coast Highway going up the West Coast then across to the East Coast, basing ourselves in Paihia. We did not make it up to Cape Reinga this time we ran out of days.
There are a lot of wineries just north of Auckland also.
The Coromandel is also a beautiful spot and defintely worth a visit!!

Hi nelsonian. We visited the Bay of Islands on our first (and only) NI trip, but frankly, I don't remember much about it.

Oh it can't have been that memorable for you.

Actually, I think my memory is at fault

The coromandel was lovely and one of my biggest regrets about our trip is that we didn't have longer there. I suspect that we would have liked the Bay of Islands too, but that will have to be for another time.
what I don't know is what they would be like in mid-winter. More populated areas like Rotorua or even Napier [which supposedly has a very mild climate] but which offer the outdoor activities that you enjoy, Mel, might be better.

The Bay of Islands should be okay in mid-winter. It is known as the 'winterless north' in that region. It will be cooler on the Coromandel but not as cool as Queenstown or Wanaka!!!

Enjoyed a wonderful trip to North Island this past April. 9 Days from Wellington to Auckland, with overnights in Wellington, Havelock North, Rotorua, and Hamilton. We called the trip "Of Wine and Hobbits"
Day 1 - Started with one day in Wellington. We stayed at the Art Museum Hotel across from TePapa. Terrific room, nice location, amazing Caesar Salad from Room Service. In Wellington we visited Weta, Te Papa, and the Wellington Zoo (fabulous Red Panda Encounter).
Day 2 - Then we were off on the Wine Trail. We were able to stop at 3 wineries (more if we had started earlier) - Martinborough (bought a Viognier Syrah), Palliser (a Chardonnay and a SavBlanc), and Ata Rangi (a mix of reds). We enjoyed the wineries, really helpful servers -- a fun afternoon. Other highlights on the drive included lunch at Everest in Featherton, and the cheese shop next door was excellent - C'Est Cheese. Other highlights included a stop in Greytown at Schock chocolates - so good! Try the lime chili bar, or the toasted coconut, or any of the artisan chocolates. Arrived at dinnertime to our self catered Cottages at St. Andrews. The kids loved the farm animals and trampoline. We ate dinner at Off the Track. The wine list was extensive. Lots of menu options. Dinner was nice but we were tired.
Day 3 - Breakfast at Cuccini, excellent Fejoa muffins, apparently Fejoa is a fruit and a short-lived seasonal treat. We tried them many different ways over the week but that first muffin was the best. Spent the day with Long Island Guides - highly recommend! We visited Te Mata peak (the mountain and the winery), a working sheepherding farm, a private Maori elder welcome on a gorgeous beach (one of the highlights of the trip), and wine tasting...Te Mata, Craggy Lodge (amazing lunch at Terroir with a glass of Quarry), Clearview and Elephant Hill. Also some winetasting at Arataki Honey and finished day with ice-cream from Rush Munros (missed the shop, it had just closed so settled on pints from the grocery store). Dinner was takeaway pizza from Pipi's. Loved Havelock North.
Day 4 - breakfast stop at Milk and Honey in Napier. Off to Taupo. Pleasant drive through vineyards and farmland. Stopped in Taupo for Huka Falls jet boating. We loved it. Lots of fun for the whole family. Also stopped at Orakei Korako - terrific thermal park. Front cafe was very kindly staffed and DD happy to learn they had wifi. We had a nice hike through several different thermal areas and loved the sacred cave and fern forest. Well marked path with informative sign posts. Continued on to Rotorua. Overnight at Hamurana Lodge. Can't say enough good things about Hamurana and Patrick. Really excellent lodging. The supper platter was terrific and the lodge is lovely. We were well and truly spoiled!.
Day 5 - Fishing with John Hamill. Half day charter. Caught enough trout for dinner, breakfast and extras for John and Patrick. Amazing morning of fishing for me and the kids, a nice long hike for DH and swimming in the lake. My little guy caught the biggest trout of the day (the trout really are something in NZ, the size of a nice salmon at home). On the way back to Rotorua we stopped at Buried Village, very interesting, great gift shop. Dinner at The Regent (they cooked the trout for us).
Day 6 - Explored tourist offerings of Rotorua including the Agrodome (kids loved feeding all the animals), lunch at Fat Dog cafe (amazing burgers and other stuff) and the evening show at Mitai Village. Fun day.
Day 7 - Early start, driving to Hobbiton. We secured a private tour (great decision) and toured an hour before the buses arrived. It was amazing. Even if you are not a LOTR fan, it was still amazing. Loved grabbing a pint at the Green Dragon, also best meat pies of the trip. Lunch in Cambridge at an italian restaurant whose name I forgot to write down. Great pasta. Cambridge was cute. Very much getting ready for a visit from the royal couple and baby George the following week. Flags and bunting in all the shop windows, making a charming little town all the more charming. Overnight at Blackwood House. Super lodging. Loved staying and would go back to the area just to visit and drink wine with our hosts again. Lovely dinner at Woodbox Eatery Bar at Mystery Creek Wines.
Day 8 - long drive to Hairy Feet Waitomo but so worth it! Took a nature walk through private farmland where some of the Hobbit was filmed. Really great nature walk and interesting to hear about the filming. Again, even if not a fan of LOTR this is a great excursion as the land is so beautiful. We stopped briefly in Otorohanga for the Kiwi House. Pretty low key (and in need of some refurbishment) but cool to see Kiwi (be sure to time it so you are there for the feeding). From there, we visited Waitomo and did the Glow Worm caves. On the way home, we stopped at Huhu Cafe. Unbelievably good food (I loved my curry dish). Great day. Relaxing evening at Blackwood House. DH stayed up late with our host enjoying scotch and stories. (They made delicious breakfasts too!)
Day 9 - off to Auckland for final day and flight home, but first an enjoyable (but too brief) stop at Hamilton Gardens. In Auckland, we visited Kelly Tarlton's Sealife Aquarium - always fun to go to this unusual aquarium. Loved watching the penguins!
Great trip, fun itinerary, can't wait to go back!
I know this read like a trip report and I will post one soon but wanted to give Melnq8 our suggestions. The wine was great and we've enjoyed several bottles already. Wish we had visited more wineries and brought home more (only 2 cases!)
As for other suggestions made in earlier posts, I also second Bay of Islands. We enjoyed the town of Russell on a prior trip and picked up one of our favorite paintings from there. Stayed at Pukematu (B&B, lovely hosts, terrific breakfast). Coramandel was nice too. Stayed at a luxury hotel (Puka Park) and had a very relaxing time (great spa too). In Auckland, we've stayed at Hyland House in Devonport. Lovely. But this trip was many years ago and don't know if the businesses are still operating.

Just read my post (again)...we did not winetaste at Arataki, I meant to write honeytasting. Oh well, I was remembering all those great wines!

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Guy Pours Beer with His Forehead [Video]
This may be the greatest trick you'll ever see.
This may be the greatest trick you'll ever see.
Last week on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," we shared an oddly inspirational video from a bearded, shirtless, only-underwear-wearing man in New York.
He was asked a number of questions by a tourist, and his answers were both surprising and hilarious at the same time.
So, when we traveled to New Jersey for our live show with 105.7 The Hawk on Friday, we had the perfect inspiration for Producer Joe's next stunt.
Stuntmen are a different breed. All they want to do is set some kind of a record. They don't seem to think about the consequences of failure. And if they do, they hide it well.
Guerlain Chicherit was attempting to break the world record for the longest car jump. There was good news and bad news about the attempt.
Stunts are just getting crazier and crazier.
The days of the Wallendas' tightrope from building to building are long gone. Nowadays, it takes something much crazier to get people's attention.
On Friday after our live show with 102.9 The Buzz in Nashville, Producer Joe spent an hour and a half in the makeup chair being made into a woman for his latest stunt.
"The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" wanted to send him out on the street dressed as a woman to see how easy it would be to pick up a man.
"OK man, here's the plan: leap off a car hood, throwing your entire body weight into a cactus. Sound good? Camera rolling? LET'S DO THIS!" (NSFW, lots of bad language)

WPI is implementing the Banner Fixed Assets module (we do not use Purchasing). A couple of years ago we started using grant (inception to date) funds for tracking construction projects.
If anyone else is using these two options, we would be interested in speaking with you regarding your processes.
Any other Fixed Asset advise is also welcome :-)
Thank you,

Turkey Club Sandwich Recipe
Jun 20, 2011 10:01 am
Layer on the bacon, turkey
Photo: Mark Shaw
It may be the bacon, or the inimitably delicious combo of mayo on lightly toasted white bread. Maybe it's the extra slice of toast in the middle or the way a triple decker sandwich looks sliced into quarters, flanked by fries. It might even be the crinkly cellophane frills on the toothpicks you never seem to see anywhere else, holding it all together for you.
It's the turkey club, celebrated fixture of room service, poolside, and diner menus — and it's famous for a reason. It's really, really delicious.
Servings: 1 sandwich
3 slices white sandwich bread, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 pound turkey breast, thinly sliced
4 slices thick-cut bacon, fried until crisp
1 small tomato, sliced into rounds
4 leaves lettuce, rinsed and dried
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
- Pile on half the turkey, two slices of perfectly cooked bacon, two slices of tomato, and two lettuce leaves.
- Top with second slice of bread.
- Repeat step 2.
- Add last slice of bread, slice into halves or quarters (securing with toothpicks if necessary), and serve with fries, cole slaw, or potato salad.

Onion Crunch® Green Beans Supreme
By Carolyn Scott-Hamilton, AKA The Healthy Voyager
6 tablespoons regular or vegan butter, divided
2 shallots, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
8 ounces portobello mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
Onion Crunch®, for topping
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme and sage and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 5 more minutes. Next add the sherry and stir until thickened. Add the cream and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Set sauce aside.
Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beans, toss to coat with the butter and saute until bright green, about 7 minutes. They'll still be crispy. Season with salt and pepper and place on a platter.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and spoon over the beans. Top with Onion Crunch®.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic, bullion and pepper until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, Onion Crunch® and serve hot with pats of butter.

Onion Crunch® Mashed Potatoes
By Lisa,·The Blog of Lisa
1 or 2 package of instant mash potatoes·
1/2 cup sour cream
garlic powder
1/4 cup of milk into the potatoes
Onion Crunch®, for topping
If you use both packets of potatoes, you will want to use more sour cream/milk, but don't double it. Trust me.
The first time I made this I actually boiled potatoes and mashed them myself. Yeah, that only happened once.·
Make instant mashed potatoes. One package or two, depending on how gluttonous you feel.·
After they're ready, add half a cup of sour cream, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup of milk into the potatoes. If you use both packets of potatoes, you will want to use more sour cream/milk, but don't double it. Trust me.
Spread half of the potato mixture in a baking dish. Add French Fried onions (I snuck some of the Loeb's·Onion Crunch® in here as well) and cheese of your choice. I normally use Colby Jack, which was the majority of cheese today, but I also use recipes like this to clear out any cheese that is left in bags. So it had some Sharp Cheddar and Mozzarella as well.
Put the remaining potatoes on top. If you < 3 garlic powder as I do, add it here. White pepper is delish as well. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Take out, add more cheese and onions on top. Bake for 5 more minutes. It's going to be like napalm when you take it out of the oven, so let it cool off. Oh. And use a pan BIGGER than this one, it will look a lot prettier:
Onion Crunch® Loaded Mashed Potatoes
2 heads garlic
6 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 (12-ounce) carton sour cream
1 (8-ounce) block sharp white Cheddar, grated
Smother with Onion Crunch®
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut tops off 2 garlic heads. Wrap in foil and roast for 30 minutes. When cool enough to handle remove the flesh from the garlic heads and set aside.
3. In a large stockpot, cook potatoes in enough salted water to cover for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
4. Drain and return to stockpot. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth; adding salt, to taste, pepper, butter, garlic and sour cream. With a spatula stir in cheese and Onion Crunch®. Add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
Onion Crunch® and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
1 head garlic, whole
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes, such as red bliss, quartered
4 teaspoons Onion Crunch®
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Trim off the top 1/2-inch of the garlic bulb with a sharp knife to expose some of the clove ends. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap loosely in aluminum foil, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast until the bulb is soft and fragrant, 45 to 55 minutes. Squeeze the cloves from the skins and set aside in a small bowl until ready to use.
3. Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until a fork inserted into a potato releases easily, about 20 minutes.
4. In a small glass bowl, mix the wasabi powder with 1/2 teaspoon of water to start, adding any additional water by drops until a thick paste is created. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to bloom, at least 5 minutes.
5. Drain water from the potatoes and return the potatoes to the pot, allowing excess water to evaporate. In a small saucepan or in the microwave, warm the butter and heavy cream. Add the mixture to the potatoes, along with the Onion Crunch® and roasted garlic cloves, and mash until smooth and fluffy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
6. Serve warm.
Onion Crunch® Mashed Maple Bourbon Sweet Potatoes
6 pounds sweet potatoes
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons bourbon
8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
Onion Crunch
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place the sweet potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until very soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel them by hand and put the flesh in the bowl of a mixer. Using a paddle attachment, mix in the lemon zest and juice, maple syrup and brown sugar.
3. Place the bourbon in a small saucepan and place over high heat. Let it come just to the boil and then tilt the pan slightly towards you to set it aflame*. Add to the potatoes along with the butter. Mix well.
4. Add salt and pepper and transfer to a 13 by 9-inch oven-safe casserole dish. (Recipe can be made to this point up to 2 days before, refrigerated.)
5. Sprinkle Onion Crunch® over potatoes and bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Onion Crunch® Stuffing
1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) margarine, substitute butter
5 large celery stalks, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried sage
1 can(s) (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 loaf(s) (16 ounces each) sliced firm white bread , lightly toasted and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup(s) loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
3oz of Onion Crunch®
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In 12-inch skillet, melt margarine or butter over medium heat. Add celery and onion, and cook 15 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in thyme, salt, pepper, sage, chicken broth, and 1/2 cup water; remove skillet from heat.
3. Place bread cubes in very large bowl. Add celery mixture and parsley; toss to mix well.
4. Spoon stuffing into 13-inch by 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil and bake 40 minutes or until heated through.
5. Top off with Onion Crunch®
Onion Crunch® Green beans and oyster mushrooms tossed in a nut oil vinaigrette
Serves 4 to 6
1 pound fresh green beans, stems removed
¼ pound fresh oyster mushrooms, stems removed, gills cleaned if necessary, torn or cut in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dry sherry
A handful of walnuts as a garnish, optional but delicious
Nut oil vinaigrette:
2 tablespoons peeled & minced shallots
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons walnut or hazelnut oil
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, or other neutral flavored oil such as canola
Maldon salt or other coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Bring a large pot of salt water to boil over high heat. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the trimmed & sliced mushrooms. Stir the mushrooms frequently while cooking. When the mushroom liquid has evaporated completely, cook another minute or two to brown slightly. Off of the heat, add the sherry and stir. Return to the heat, stir well for a moment, then turn off the heat and leave the mushrooms to rest in the skillet for now.
2. Combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a jar with a tight fitting lid, shake well and set aside.
3. Drop beans into boiling water, cover, and bring the water back to a boil. When water returns to a boil, remove the cover and turn heat down to medium and cook until beans are crispy tender, about 7 minutes, depending on the size of your beans. Drain beans well, place in a large bowl, and toss with the vinaigrette, a little bit at a time, tasting while you go, over the still warm green beans. You will probably have some vinaigrette left over, which will keep well in the covered jar in the refrigerator for another green salad.
4. In the meantime, toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat, shaking the pan constantly to prevent burning. Continue to toast the nuts until they begin to brown and become fragrant. Remove the nuts to a cutting board, allow to cool slightly, then chop very coarsely and set aside.
5. Add mushrooms to the beans and toss well. Taste for seasonings. Pile high on a platter and garnish with the toasted walnuts if desired. Can be served right away or at room temperature.

ENERGY SUPPORT SERVICES. An Illinois appeals court affirmed a 1997 decision by the state commission that had denied authority to Commonwealth Edison to offer "energy support...
The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has granted preliminary approval to a water utility's proposal to "project finance" the cost of a new treatment facility required to comply with federal and state laws. The utility, Massachusetts-American Water Co., had proposed forming a special purpose corporation solely to finance the plant. The new corporation would lease the facility to the utility, using the payments to repay tax-exempt bonds issued under the financing plan. While reluctant to issue advisory opinions in advance of formal review of utility construction projects, the DPU found advance assurances necessary to mitigate rate shock associated with a large construction project. According to the DPU, the new corporation would not fall under its regulatory jurisdiction as a utility. While refusing to make a "categorical" determination that project financing was prudent and acceptable for utilities, the DPU said that it favored innovative approaches to finance expensive facilities that otherwise exceed a utility's fiscal powers. Re Massachusetts-American Water Co., D.P.U. 95-41, May 3, 1995 (Mass.D.P.U.). t

Key to the Highway Lyrics - The Band
I've got the key to the highway,
Packed up and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running,
Cause walking is most too slow.
I'm going back down to the border
Where I must fairly go(?)
Cause you ain't done nothing but
Drive a good man away from home.
So give me one more, one more kiss, baby
Just before I go
I'll be back out on the highway,
That's the only place I know.
And when the moon creeps over my room, honey,
I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.
Well, its so long, so long, baby.

BA edits Branson from Casino Royale
Virgin supremo Richard Branson is "somehow missing" from the version of Casino Royale shown on British Airways flights, the Telegraph reports. In the full-fat film, a short cameo shows the multi-trillionaire "passing through a security arch at Miami airport". This proved too much for BA's in-flight entertainment team, which " …
Well, to be fair...
"we want to ensure they contain no material that might upset our customers." is accurate.
Reminding people that there are airlines which do better for less dosh is liable to upset them.
Has Branson made a series of particularly shrewd investments and acquisitions recently? I thought he was "only" a billionaire!
Branson is UK version of US Trump
BOTH are idiots, BS artists "supremo: and shameless Egomanics. Bravo to BA.
Good taste
Not such a big deal, he is also edited out of the version on United Airlines. More good taste than corporate sabotage...
Yet another pointless prod at BA ..
I doubt BA has made the cut, morelike the distributor who supplies all the airlines with in-flight entertainment. This is just a stupid story perpetrated in all probability by the Virgin-sponsored PR machine - the BBC reported it as well. In any case, cutting out the twit is better for the film as his appearance was completely ridiculous and snapped one out of 'filmspace'. It was the only stupid bit in the film so cutting it makes for better viewing.
Now if you could spend a second to think why you published the story, realise it was pointless and stop writing trite rubbish about BA. Or why don't you investigate why Virgin didnt publish it's own record on baggage losses or why Mr Branson looks like a bad advert for cosmetic surgery or why Virgin Media (aka NTL) is truly appalling?
American Airlines show Branson
Funny enough American Airlines, BA's co-conspirator in the One World Alliance show Branson (going throught security at Miami if memory serves)...
Obviously BA are still a bit sore about getting spanked when they hacked Virgin's computers a few years back!
Silly billys
Poor Show BA
I can only say:
this is very poor!
I would have expected more class from BA than this.
But what do you expect from an airline, that has now control over their contractors, let alone their own staff.
But we should also bear in mind, that Richard Branson started with his record lable by bootlegging other too.
And today he is just as bad as the entire MI
Rain Man
Then there's the scene from Rain Man, edited out by all but Qantas.
Just the film...
So let me get this straight, he's only been edited out of the film not life in general.... shame, it's of no use to anyone and his brands are next to useless.
Wasted Time
Surely time would be better spent sorting out peoples luggage rather than dicking with a movie who's audience has already given BA their money.
In bad taste?
Precisely why would the sight of this particular billionaire upset the passengers on any flight? I've heard of censorship, but come on! Cut out the things I don't want my 4-year-old to see, like people in speedos and thongs, excessive lovemaking scenes and gun violence. I watched Branson's reality show and liked it, except for the twit he picked to win the thing. He seems like a stand-up guy and I can't imagine why this totally idiotic cut was made!
Not So...
I was on a BA flight to San Francisco this week and Richard Branson was still in the film. Shame BA couldn't edit the plot into better shape.
Rather Harsh...
Im not so much surprised, probably bemused is a better word, not by the article itself but by the comments and the number of outspoken Branson haters there are about today.
Personally I couldnt comment on the man as I have never had the pleasure, or otherwise, of his company. However, I do know that someone who has managed to build a company into a successful multinational in what is, lets face is, quite a small space of time is unlikely to be a "twit" or "useless".
That is all...

A legislative audit into Delcambre's city utilities department is raising concerns and questions.
Auditors uncovered more than $62,000 is missing from the town's utility fund, according to the audit released today.
Turns out, it's not exactly news to Mayor Carol Broussard, who noticed the money was missing back in September 2013, before the auditors' investigation.
Broussard said he questioned the women in charge of utility collection as soon as city auditor's told him the money was missing.
"If the money went missing because of her then that looks bad on the town of Delcambre," Broussard said.
The woman resigned in December 2013.
In the legislative auditor's report, investigators questioned why the woman was allowed to work two additional months.
"There were investigations that we needed to find before we did anything, and that was the period of time it took. I think we got in touch with the state auditors office toward the end of the year about what was going on," Broussard said.
Broussard is criticized in the report for not acting in a more timely manner, and reporting the missing money sooner.
As for the former employee, so far she's not facing any charges.
There are more questions in the audit, which also found the town is out $238,000, because its utility service isn't making money and some customers aren't paying their bills.
Broussard said the town is looking at cost-saving measures, including raising utility rates.
"We've raised rates in the past. I mean, it's not like something that's going to be a surprise. Everybody wants better water and better gas. It's just things you have to do to keep the town running," Broussard said.
This isn't the first time Broussard said money was stolen from the utility department.
About seven years ago, the mayor said, an employee didn't charge herself for utilities, owing roughly $2,000 to the town.
No charges were brought up because that employee agreed to pay the city back.

Nike walking shoes are available for 2014 and a few styles are very highly rated by walkers. However, Nike doesn't have a large selection, as they put most of their resources into their running shoes.
If you have your heart set on Nike and can't find a walking shoe
that you like, it is most likely OK to choose a running shoe instead.
Although walking shoes are built with extra cushioning in the heel to
cushion a walker's foot strike and a wider toe box than a running shoe,
running shoes are usually more cushioned all around and are more
flexible as well.
I am a fitness walker but I wear a running shoe for a few
reasons. First, I like to sprinkle in a little bit of jogging during my
walks and it is much easier to walk in a running shoe than it is to jog
in a walking shoe because running shoes are more flexible. Second, I
have very narrow feet and running shoes offer a better selection of
narrow widths.
In fact, Nike walking shoes don't come in a variety of widths. If you have narrow feet, I'd recommend having a look at
New Balance walking shoes
asics walking shoes,
which is what I wear for my narrow feet.
If you feel that your toes are squished in your current shoe,
than a walking shoe is probably better for you because they have wider
toe boxes than running shoes.
What is more important than whether the shoe is designed for
running or walking is finding the right shoe type for your feet. The
best pair for you is the pair that fits your feet and feels most
comfortable. To find out how to determine the best pair for you, have a
look at this great article on the
best walking shoes.
Below you'll find a description of each Nike Walking Shoe. I've also read through all of the user reviews to determine which style appeals to fitness walkers of every level. This will help you determine the pair that is best for your feet and your needs.
Nike walking shoes are a little hard to find online although I've
found some that I've included in the list below. You can find one or
two more on the Nike website. I've also included some of their most
popular running shoes.
- Nike View III - This pair is lightweight and provides moderate arch support, They received high marks for comfort and cushioning.
It is made with great materials including soft lining to keep your feet comfortable. It is also made with mesh materials to keep the air circulating around your feet to keep them dry. They are also easy to keep clean
The rubber on the bottom of the shoe provides great traction and is made from slip resistant materials. And Nike included their Rolling Rail technology in the outsole for a stable ride through the heel-to-toe transition.
- Nike Zoom Elite+ 6 - This is a neutral running shoe meaning it has plenty of flexibility, shock absorbency and cushioning. It's also lightweight and receives high marks for comfort. It comes in a variety of colors.
- Nike Lunarglide+ 4 - This Nike running shoe is one of the most highly rated shoe of any brand. It is a stability shoe so it provides moderate stability and pronation control. Women report that they are comfortable and lightweight with a good amount of foot support. The insole is removable in case you want to put in a custom orthotic.
- Nike Lunareclipse+ 3 - This is a stability shoe with a little bit more stability thrown in! So this may work for some of you who are looking for a motion control shoe although I could not find a true motion control shoe made by Nike. This shoe is made with a soft lining and tongue which makes it very comfortable. They are lightweight and women love the support they provide to their feet.
- Nike View III - It received great ratings for comfort and style by those who have worn this style. It is available in a wide width and provides moderate arch support.
It is made of a durable "upper" (the top portion of the shoe) that is easy to clean. It also has perforated holes above the toe box and fabric mesh to help air circulate around your feet and to keep your feet dry.
It is made with lots of padding for comfort and cushioning for shock absorption. It is also made with Rolling Rail technology to help your foot strike the ground properly.
- Nike Zoom Elite+ 6 - one of Nike's best running shoes for a neutral foot. It has a bit of stability built in but is mostly flexible and lightweight.
- Nike Lunarglide+ 4 - One of the most highly rated running shoes. It's a stability shoe so it's perfect for someone who needs some arch support and pronation control. They are very comfortable and lightweight. They also provide a nice amount of cushioning too.
- Nike Lunareclipse+ 3 - The men's version of this shoe is not as popular as the women's. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in a wide width but for those with a medium width, this shoe is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day. It has more stability than your average stability shoe so it will provide good support for those with moderate overpronation.
Nike walking shoes and running shoes are made with top notch
materials to keep your feet dry and comfortable. They are a great choice
for fitness walkers although I'm disappointed over the small selection
of walking shoes as well as the limited availability of wide and narrow
Don't miss this helpful article on how to pick the most comfortable shoes. It offers great tips for how to determine which shoe you are going to be most happy with.

HARRISONBURG -- Jacie Elizabeth Kyger, 29, Harrisonburg, pleaded guilty on Thursday to distributing Fentanyl, a pain relieving prescription drug, to Kevin Michael Moyer, who died of an overdose. As part of the plea agreement, Kyger agreed to a 15-year sentence recommendation in a federal prison.
"This case shows how dangerous and highly addictive drugs like Fentanyl can be," United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said, "Ms. Kyger exploited the weakness of others when she sold Fentanyl, and her acts ultimately led to an untimely death. When it comes to the problem of drug abuse, we must bring a comprehensive approach which combines enforcement with prevention and treatment."
According to evidence, Kyger and Moyer had an on-going narcotics relationship. The investigation revealed many text messages sent between the two, showing the relationship and discussing Moyer buying Fentanyl from Kyger.
On Nov. 4, 2011, Kyger sold Moyer a Fentanyl patch and two Percocet pills for $60. The next morning, Moyer was found dead with a syringe filled with a liquid containing Fentanyl and a portion of the Fentanyl patch.
The Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia concluded that Mr. Moyer died of "acute Fentanyl toxicity."

text: Google Execs Bag Millions in Taxpayer-Funded Jet Fuel Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 25 Sep 2013 post a comment A year-long investigation by NBC Bay Area has revealed that Google executives bagged millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded fuel to fly their private aircraft. A Google-owned company, H211, purchased $7,891,175.35 in jet fuel at rates two to four and a half times cheaper than market rates due to a special arrangement between the tech giant, NASA, and the Department of Defense. H211 also pays no property taxes on its airplanes housed at Moffett Field, an arrangement dating back to 2007 that has resulted in the loss of up to $500,000 in tax revenue per plane per year. Consumer Watchdog President and Chairman Jamie Court says the crony deal "may have been the greatest sweetheart deal in the history of NASA." Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) says giving Google billionaires taxpayer-funded fuel is outrageous. "We want to get to the bottom of it," said Grassley. "What bothers me the most: what's the justification for it? It implies that there is favoritism going on. That would be wrong. And it implies that there's a waste of taxpayers' money." Not all lawmakers are as outraged as Grassley. Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) originally told NBC Bay Area that Google's partnership with NASA's Alpha Jet Atmospheric eXperiment (AJAX) "is something that is celebrated in my congressional district. This is not a favor in any way shape or form." Eshoo's staffers later emailed NBC Bay Area and said "if it's found that the federal government was short-changed, H211 should make good on the difference." The Defense Department says that as of August 31 it has decided to no longer sell jet fuel to H211.

a man-purse. very fashion-forward right now, seen on many hipster guys. the line between a messenger bag and murse is very fluid - typically a murse is a bit smaller than a traditional messenger, and may have a slightly more stylized look to it. a murse can also be used to carry a laptop computer - one of the reasons it is so popular right now.
"wow, Mark's new laptop fits perfectly into that small bag he carries"
"yeah, that's a great murse. it matches his american apparel shirt."

Liberia opposition claims flaws in poll, pulls out
A group of Liberian opposition parties said Saturday they are pulling out of a recent presidential poll and threatened to reject the results over allegations that election officials are skewing the outcome in favor of the president.
The Associated Press
MONROVIA, Liberia — A group of Liberian opposition parties said Saturday they are pulling out of a recent presidential poll and threatened to reject the results over allegations that election officials are skewing the outcome in favor of the president.
Saturday's statement was signed by eight parties, including those of second-place challenger Winston Tubman and third-place contender Prince Johnson.
The latest partial results gave President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf a narrow lead.
In a statement, the group claimed "massive fraud being carried out by the National Elections Commission in the handling and reporting of the presidential election results in favor of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the Unity Party."
"We direct all our party agents assigned at [the electoral commission] in all capacities to withdraw, effective immediately," the statement read. "If the process continues, we will not accept the results."
The parties said they could offer photographs and witnesses to back their claims. They also called for a Sunday rally but did not specify a time or place.
International and local election observers said Tuesday's election was peaceful and there were no major breaches in voting and no serious incidences of violence.
Electoral commission spokesman Bobby Livingstone did not immediately address the allegations.
"The commission is going to come up with a position on this later," he said. "There may be some legal implications."
Johnson and other politicians spoke after the statement was read.
"It is a sad day for Liberia," Johnson said. "In 1985 when Madame Sirleaf won a seat in the senate, she did not take it because she felt the election was rigged and that brought trouble to this country. Now, to see this strong woman who advocated for peace, justice, transparency and accountability to now be the one to rig elections through the election commission is sad thing indeed."
Johnson, whose rebel army invaded Monrovia in 1990, videotaped himself ordering his men to cut off the ears of the country's captured former president Samuel Doe, who later died.
Johnson has tried to refashion himself as a politician, and he became a born-again Christian after the war, then went on to be elected senator of his home county.
On Saturday, he appealed to Liberians to remain calm.
"We want peace for Liberia," he said. "We want stability. We call upon all Liberians to remain peaceful as we find peaceful solutions to this situation."
Counting is continuing. Sirleaf led late Friday with 45.4 percent of the vote, falling short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff, according to partial results.
The Harvard-educated Sirleaf, who was Africa's first democratically elected female president, faced 15 challengers.
She is viewed abroad as a reformer and was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her role in stabilizing Liberia after a 14-year civil war.
The results had been tallied from 2,242 polling stations representing more than half of the nation's 4,457 voting centers.
While Sirleaf led with 265,883 votes, the party of Tubman and soccer star George Weah trailed with 172,681 votes, or 29.5 percent.
Johnson came in third in the race with 66,419 votes, or 11.4 percent, and he said he is looking forward to playing the role of kingmaker.

Vt. revenues up in AprilMay 11,2013MONTPELIER Vermont Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said revenues were up in all three of the states main sources of income last month, including the highest general fund revenues ever for April.
Spaulding said its not a time for irrational exuberance because a good deal of the increase in general fund revenue seems to be due to one-time decisions made by taxpayers in December.
Still, general fund revenues were 14.2 percent above projections. The year-to-date projection is almost 2.5 percent ahead of forecasts.
The transportation fund in April exceeded expectations by 3.85 percent. For the year the transportation fund is 1 percent below target.
The non-property tax education fund revenues were almost three-tenths of 1 percent above forecasts. The education fund is also about 1 percent below expectations for the year.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

During the spring semester of 2014 i have been an exchange student at Thammasat University. I stayed at Amarin Mansion and the place was awesome. Maybe the price was a little expensive comparing with other places (specially the electricity price), but the location and the other facilities make Amarin Mansion very convenient. Just some people of the reception must be... More

Food, Glorious Food!
When you're running behind schedule on a high-profile project like renovating the main cafeteria, you'd think comments by the hundreds would be coming your way. Leo Dorsey, director of food and nutrition for The Johns Hopkins Hospital, was bracing for a barrage of complaints.
"You know what?" says Dorsey. "There have been a few, but mostly constructive. Actually, it has been the best renovation project I've ever experienced." (He's spent 20 years in the business, nine at Hopkins.) "It's a 45-year-old building, and you're going to come across a lot of infrastructure issues. I think our Hopkins family understands that. They've been through it."
That attitude has made it easier for Dorsey to focus on finishing the job. Last fall, with the addition of Flamers and Freshens, the first phase of construction was complete. By the end of the summer, the entire 18,000-square-foot space will reopen: Noble Roman's Pizza was unveiled the last week of June, Einstein Bros. Bagels opens the last week in July and the main cafeteria (complete with a new name voted on by the public) will debut in August.
The hospital's main eatery, open for breakfast and lunch, will promote a healthy, well-rounded diet. Hot foods, for example, will be lower in fat, and every product will be labeled with a nutritional analysis. A hot salad of the day (think chicken, steak) will beprepared for you by a chef. A large salad bar, specially made for the space, will hold 24 items, such as tuna with low-fat mayo or protein salads.
Although the details of the space—from the bar stools and family tables to the cashless payment system called FreedomPay—were years in the planning, Dorsey warns there are no guarantees in his business.
"You can do all the research on sales and customer counts until you're blue in the face," he says, "but when you open up, you are shocked that there are twice as many people at one venue and no one at another. You just can't gauge popularity."
