On many other songs she is united with brother Dominick's voice and the results are tight and unique sibling harmonies. Add Dave's voice to the mix and a formidable trio is formed. Together, a unique dynamic is created and THE FAVE's sound is born. The result is a rocking modern day version of CSNY to WHOish music. THE FAVE has an amazing and energetic live show and will bring the fuzz to any venue, leaving with more fans than when they came…

Restorative Yoga gives us an opportunity to balance the effort in our lives with ease and surrender. Through gentle, supported poses, breath awareness and meditation, we will drop into a deep state of physiological relaxation. From this still place, the body is more able to access its natural ability to cleanse, heal, digest, sleep, conceive and build immunities. With the physical body at rest, a sense of mental, emotional and spiritual ease naturally follows. This retreat will also include dharma offerings, seated meditation, leisure time, gentle movement and stretching to complement our theme of cultivating ease, relaxation and surrender in all aspects of our lives.
Retreat fee: $370 ($315/member)

Griffin: Growing Lifeline Program Is Costing American Consumers and Taxpayers
WASHINGTON – Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement after introducing the Stop Taxpayer Funded Cell Phones Act (H.R.3481), which will save American consumers billions of dollars in a program many view as an example of government waste:
"I have heard from numerous Arkansans who have shared stories of dead relatives receiving free cell phones in the mail, individuals abusing the system by obtaining numerous free cell phones and recently I saw an electronic kiosk in a convenience store promoting free cell phones, all through a government run and taxpayer funded program called Lifeline. My bill returns the Lifeline program back to its original structure by ending federal subsidies for free cell phone services. This growing government cell phone program is costing American consumers and taxpayers, and my bill puts an end to it."
The Lifeline Program was established in 1984 to subsidize landline phone service for low-income individuals. Under the program, telecommunications carriers submit reimbursement requests to the government-run Universal Service Fund (USF) to receive a subsidy for services provided to qualifying low-income subscribers. The USF is funded through fees collected from telecommunications carriers which are directly passed onto their customers, as part their telephone bill.
In 2008, the Lifeline Program was expanded to include wireless service providers. Between 2008 and 2009, non-landline costs for the program doubled – from $143 million to $384 million – and then doubled again, totaling over $719 million in 2010. Before the certification of the first wireless carrier, the overall Lifeline Program cost $822 million per year, an amount consistent with the previous five years. That number grew to $1.025 billion in 2009 and to $1.315 billion in 2010. According to the Federal Communications Commission, it is common for multiple wireless service providers to seek reimbursement for Lifeline services provided to the same household.

Pablo – Katalyst Modeling Talent
Part of my new plan for building business for the year is to blog more often. 2011 was such a gaining force year for me that I found myself editing more, and blogging less. I want this blog and website to become a place that is visited often, and referred to much. Most of my followers come here to look at photography and design ideas, and that is specifically what I hope to deliver on for 2012.
I photographed Pablo for his up and coming modeling career with Katalyst Talent. I loved the fact that Pablo brought his passions into his photos and wardrobe for his modeling shots; he also does deejaying and is an avid soccer player. Pablo is Peruvian, and I think he may just have grown up loving soccer just a little bit. I heart the last capture shown at the botto mof this post that caught a glimpse of his love for the game in the setting sun. A classic shot.
Here are some of my favorites from our two sessions together in downtown Lebanon, Ohio and downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.

Saturday night, August 20, the16th year of summer star parties continues at Big Bend, in the Sierras. This is a series of free public star parties at the Loch Leven Trailhead, near the Big Bend Ranger Station, about 30 miles above Colfax, along Interstate 80. You can also meet local amateur astronomers such as Don Macholz who has discovered several comets from his location in Colfax. Macholz tells us what we can expect to see Saturday night.
"On Saturday we'll be able to see Saturn. It's getting rather low in the west. This is one of our last chances to see Saturn this year. We'll be able to see the planet Neptune as it rises in the east. We'll see some of the brighter stars and double stars. We'll see star clusters and nebula and a few galaxies."
The event will be held from 8:30 until 10:00 PM. These 90-minute sky tours take you through about 25 sky wonders using telescopes owned and operated by astronomers. Maacholz encourages visitors to bring plenty of warm clothes; even in the summer it gets cold at 5800 feet elevation. This is a family friendly event. Restrooms are nearby. The stargazing is free.
To get there take Interstate 80 towards Reno and go beyond Colfax, Blue Canyon and Emigrant Gap. The Big Bend exit is the first one past Cisco Grove. At the bottom of the off-ramp turn left, travel one-half mile and continue past the USFS Visitor Center. Look for the Loch Leven trailhead parking lot on the left. We set up in that parking lot. Residents in the Grass Valley area can take Highway 20 to Interstate 80 eastbound, and then exit at Big Bend.

An elephant has nothin' on this trunk.
If you're looking for a humidor that is both functional and highly unique, this unit is your ticket to the big show. Outfitted with gears, leather straps and metal accents, it's certainly one hell of a display piece. It's heavy too, thanks to thick walls and top-notch construction. But don't worry, if you decide to move it around the heavy-duty metal handles have you covered. The inside is equally as impressive with all you need to keep 100 cigars in perfect smoking condition.
The Steampunk 100-Capacity Trunk Humidor features:
- Fully lined with kiln-dried Spanish cedar
- Lift out tray with divider
- 2 Bottom dividers
- Large humidifier
- Hygrometer
- Heavy metal clasp (for snug closure)
Dimensions: 13.75" x 9.5" x 6.5"
"The build quality of this piece is very nice. I was a little nervous about ordering it, but I wanted something a little out of the ordinary for my next humidor and this fit the bill perfectly. It almost seems like a prop chest out of a movie and that's a good thing! The inside is pretty standard, but that's a great thing. I ordered a Humi-Care rectangle humidification device with it to replace the stock one. The analog Hydrometer has a nice magnet that sticks into the lid instead of velcro or just double sided tape, so removing it or upgrading to a digital later on will be a snap. If you want a sharp looking humidor that won't break the bank, this is a great addition."

NO and S-nitrosylation in insulin resistance
1) Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and obesity-induced insulin resistance: iNOS expression is increased by most, if not all, inducers of insulin resistance, including obesity, proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-a), oxidative stress, and hyperglycemia. This research program has demonstrated that: (1) iNOS inhibition significantly ameliorates whole-body insulin resistance, and improves depressed expression of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-2, and IRSs-mediated insulin signaling in obese, diabetic (ob/ob) mice; (2) S-nitrosylation reversibly inactivates Akt/PKB; and that (3) S-nitrosylated Akt/PKB is increased in insulin sensitive tissues, including skeletal muscle, of diabetic (ob/ob) mice, as compared with wild-type control mice. Moreover, the recent findings in this laboratory document that: (1) GSNOR deficiency induces insulin resistance on normal chow and exacerbates high-fat diet-induced diabetes in mice; and (2) liver-specific overexpression of iNOS is sufficient to induce insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in mice. These findings clearly indicate that iNOS and GSNOR plays important roles as downstream effectors of chronic inflammation in obesity-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and liver. Target molecules of S-nitrosylation in the liver of diabetic (db/db) mice and roles of iNOS and protein S-nitrosylation as an upstream enhancer of the sustained activation of inflammatory/stress signaling pathways in obesity-induced insulin resistance are under investigation.
2) Role of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) in pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction: Attenuated insulin secretion and impaired compensatory expansion of pancreatic beta-cell mass are major contributors to hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. Nitric oxide (NO) and iNOS have been implicated in beta-cell dysfunction in diabetes. Nonetheless, limited knowledge is available about the underlying molecular pathogenesis. The data in this laboratory indicate that: (1) deficiency of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), results in hyperglycemia with attenuated insulin secretion on normal chow, and aggravation of high-fat diet-induced hyperglycemia and beta-cell compensation failure compared with wild-type mice; (2) iNOS inhibitor ameliorates hyperglycemia with increased plasma insulin levels in diabetic (db/db) mice on BKS background; and (3) gene disruption of GSNOR confers increased susceptibility to streptozotocin-induced diabetes and proinflammatory cytokine- and NO donors-induced beta-cell death. Investigation on the precise role of GSNOR is underway, using pancreatic beta-cell specific GSNOR overexpressing transgenic mice and GSNOR-/- iNOS-/- double knockout mice.
3) Stress-induced insulin resistance: The efficacy and safety of tight glucose control achieved by intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients has been an issue of intense investigation and controversy for a decade. Stress-induced hyperglycemia without preexisting diabetes is associated with poor prognosis in critically ill patients. The research program is aimed to clarify the molecular bases underlying burn injury- and sepsis-induced insulin resistance and to determine the effects of insulin-sensitization on survival in rodent models of critical illness. The research in this laboratory has shown that iNOS plays an important role in insulin resistance and impairment in the insulin receptor-IRS-1-PI3K-Akt/PKB-GSK-3b in skeletal muscle after burn injury in mice and hepatic insulin resistance and hyperglycemia following endotoxin challenge in rats. Studies on the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance (some of them are shared in common by obesity and stress [e.g., burn injury, sepsis], while there are also some distinct mechanisms between the two insulin-resistant states) are currently underway.

I bought a refill of this powder on sale and am so glad I did! Very silky texture and light to medium coverage. Covers small blemishes and uneven skin tone nicely and I sometimes use it over liquid foundation for fuller coverage
I'm currently using Bobbi Brown long wear even finish compact foundation, the new version of the oil free that was discontinued but damn it was bloody expensive and the new version was sooo natural that i didnt see any difference when i put it on.Then a fren recommended this, and why not give it a try.
The powder matched my skintone watts #60, C4. it was beautiful when i put it on, very natural...second to bobbi brown but it oxisidized after 1hour!! It turn slightly orange...
I think i stick to BB... skintone match, doesnt oxidise & make me look so natural...not made up. This powder is best for dry or normal skin. otherwise its good.

I really wanted to like this powder because it gives beautiful finish and that glowy look that i want.....i agree with most of you of this being just a pressed powder with light/ medium coverage which i was looking for......but then after an hour or two my face became very dehydrated with it..........i think maybe it's the corn starch that sucks up every bit of oil on my face.........not sure but it doesn't work out for me.......

I bought this on sale for under $4.00, so it's not such a loss. I'm not buying this as a powder foundation. Setting powder, yes. Blotting powder, maybe. Foundation powder? No. I used it wet, dry, damp. Kabuki brush, wedge sponge, foundation brush. The coverage is just not there. This is a hard powder. It cannot stand up to MAC's Studio Fix.
I don't own very many Stila products, but imo these are products that are made for a specific age group, maybe 15-24. This market keeps getting younger and younger and their products truly reflect this. I'm middle aged which means I need a foundation that at the very least delivers the illumination it claims to contain. There is nothing illuminating about this product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This powder was too sheer for my liking. I was looking for something that could be work by itself or over foundation. It was just wayyy to sheer to wear by itself. It is "luminous" though instead of being super matte which I did like a lot. Also, I really hate how I had to buy it in the plastic packaging. Not cute. Overall it's not that bad, just not what I was looking for. The finish is really pretty and has a slight sheen to it (nothing obvious..just kind of glowy). I have found my HG powder though..it's Fresh Face Luster. Sort of like the amped up version of Stila's illuminating powder. I would recommend the Fresh powder of the Stila's
I use this powder to set my liquid foundation and to touch up throughout the day. For this purpose, it's amazing. I love the finish, it's definitely the best powder I've used!
In terms of using it as a foundation, it's far too sheer and doesn't stay on bare skin at all. Only occasionally have I managed to apply enough to even me out and keep me looking natural but "better", but it doesn't last long and wears off very quickly. Even using the sponge doesn't really help.
I haven't bothered to purchase the compact, as the plastic case does the job and it doesn't seem worth the money!
I'll continue to use it, as it works well on top of my NARS Sheer Glow and MAC Pro Longwear Foundation (I use 70 Watt and it works perfectly for NARS Sheer Glow Syracuse and MAC Pro Longwear NC42), but I'm still on the hunt for a good powder foundation to wear on its own.
4 lippies for the beautiful, soft finish I get. I just wish it lasted longer on my face!

I have purchased this powder over and over. I use it in Shade 30 even though I'm usually the lightest color in everything. This is probably the best powder I've ever used. I use a big fluffy brush with it and use it as a setting powder in the winter AND summer. I love that it has SPF. It looks natural and it doesn't make me look cakey. I have oily/combo skin in the summer and dry/combo skin in the winter. It never dries me out. Honestly, I think it adds a nice glow to my look while keeping me dry. I've already gone through 3 of these and I'm about to buy my 4th! It's the perfect setting powder for me.
Overall, I would say you would like this powder if you want a nice setting powder with a glow to it and it brightens up the color on your face (not lightens, I said brightens.) It looks natural, doesn't dry me out, keeps me pretty matte. It doesn't oxidize, it has SPF for your skin, it doesn't cake or settle into any lines. I'll keep coming back to this. (PS- I hate that you have to buy the case for it separately and I keep avoiding buying it. I might eventually purchase it though if I am going to keep buying this powder.)

More reviews by cowgirldownunder
Absolute garbage. Like many other reviews here the tester pan was awesome, soft, smooth and blendable. But the one I received is dry and very difficult to blend and get decent coverage both wet and dry with both sponge and brush. My sensitive skin is red and irritated after trying to apply it and as the coverage is dismal the result is blah. Definite waste of money....shame on you Stila.

I have been using this product for 3 months now and it has not once broken me out. Please note I have combination/oily t-zone type skin and am sensitive to certain ingredients on foundations therefore I break out in lots of small flesh coloured bumps on my forehead mainly if I choose the wrong foundation. Mainly Mac products have done this to me so I am hesitant in trying new. This powder foundation I bought because I wanted a heavier coverage powder over my Bobbi Brown Natural Skin Finish foundation which is quite a light coverage. The result is beautiful flawless finish. The texture of the pressed powder is crazy smooth and does not sink into pores or fine lines and keep in mind I apply this with a sponge for the ultimate in flawless coverage yet it does not look the slightest bit cakey. It's an amazing product, I am very happy with my purchase and would gladly buy again.
The biggest CON about this is the price. I bought mine at Mecca Cosmetica (Australia) powder and case together was $95 AUD. That is ridiculous considering it's the same amount you get with other powder foundations. Since they sell the case and the powder separately I was charged $20AUD just for the case....That price would put anyone off!
But other than that, I'm satisfied :) (I bought 75 Watts btw)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ive never been a big pressed-powder or powder-foundation user, but I actually hit pan on this, which really must be saying something! I lucked out and got this in a mystery bag of Stila products; little did I know it would become one of my staples. The shade number has rubbed off the bottom of my compact, but Im guessing its probably 20 Watts (its a pretty light shade) and its an excellent match for my fair skin. The texture of this is almost like a creamy powder, if that makes sense (not too dry). It seems to blend in with my skins natural texture, instead of sitting on top of my skin. I love the versatility of this product. I can apply with the included sponge for fuller coverage. I can apply with my finger or a concealer brush for spot-coverage. But most often I apply with a big fluffy brush all over (after my usual TM or liquid foundation) to finish my look. This keeps my skin looking fresh for a good 8-10 hours. I might touch it up late in the afternoon, if I notice any shiny spots (my skin is pretty normal, though). For an illuminating product, I dont notice any shimmer in this, which is good (I dont like all over shimmer, anyways). It just makes my skin look fresh and my makeup look polished. This is the only face powder Ive ever hit pan on, and I just purchased a backup (on eBay, I didnt pay full price).

Walter named to UNG Ombudsman position
By Staff
UNDATED - Dr. Tom Walter has been selected as the ombudsman for faculty and staff at the University of North Georgia. UNG President Bonita Jacobs announced the appointment to faculty and staff on Tuesday.
Walter is currently serving as Vice President of Student Affairs and will continue serving in that capacity until the university identifies his successor. He will transition to the position of Ombudsman at that time. Jacobs noted in her announcement that UNG will conduct a national search for the student affairs position and will begin that process very quickly.
"Dr. Walter's background and training are well aligned with this position, which provides faculty and staff with an informal and confidential means to discuss and address issues," Jacobs said. "I am pleased that he will take on this new role with the university."
Walter began working in students affairs with the former Gainesville State College in 1989 and was named vice president for student affairs when the college consolidated with North Georgia College & State University in 2013 to become the University of North Georgia.
"I am excited about this new role because of the opportunities it presents to help others," Walter said. "An ombudsman serves in a neutral capacity to help faculty and staff members resolve conflicts and solve problems. I have been helping students in these areas for three decades and look forward to providing this kind of support for university employees."
Walter earned his doctorate in counseling and human development services from the University of Georgia in 1988 and worked for Reinhart College prior to joining then-Gainesville State College. He also served as counseling center director from 1978 to 1982 at then-North Georgia College. In addition to his administrative roles, Walter has taught courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and has been active in numerous professional and community organizations.

home page about us associated castles Hollows Tower - Dumfriesshire
Situated on a strong site, Hollows or Gilnockie's Tower is a rectangular 16th century tower house of four storeys and a garret within a corbelled-out parapet. There was probably a courtyard.
The entrance leads to a turnpike stair which climbs to the upper floors. The basement is vaulted, and the hall on the first floor, has a wide moulded fireplace.
Hollows was a stronghold of the unruly Armstrong clan after nearby Gilnockhall or Gilnockie Castle had been destroyed by the English in 1523. Johnnie Armstrong of Gilnockie was hanged without trial by James V in 1530, with 50 of his family, as recorded in the old ballad. A stone memorial marks the mass grave at Carlanrig.
The tower has been reroofed and restored, and now houses the clan Armstrong Centre, although the Armstrongs were never a clan.
There may have been another tower to the south, known as "Priore Johns".

Are they all in denial?
November 18, 2008 - John Stack
Yesterday, Gov Paterson gave even more bleak economic news. Rather than 1.5 billion shortfall this year, its more like 2 billion. And with Citibank slashin 53,000 (yeah, 53,000!) jobs, and Goldman Sachs saying they will forego bonuses this year, the picture is probably worse (NY gets a significant amount of tax revenue from end of year bonuses). But, Citi realized they couldn't do it anymore, and slashed 20 percent of their payroll. Gov Paterson has come up with a number of ways to try and slash back some spending. The response from the Assembly and Senate? A seeming giant yawn. They have so far refused to even offer any type of plan whatsoever! Paterson quoted, and I have to belive many of us New Yorkers have to agree, 'Its more than irresponsible - it doesn't make any sense. This type of inaction, I think its embarrassing'. What have we heard from our reps? What has Betty Little proposed? Janet Duprey? Teresa Seyward? These are the times that these people make their money. For years and years, these people have been able to just go along and get along without any really taking any risks. Now, they have to. In addition to the 2 billion this year, next year is projected as a $12 billion hole! In Jim McCulley's blog, he implores people like CSEAs Danny Donahue that something has to be done. And NOTHING is being done.
Mayor Bloomberg is also the head of a group of idiots in complete denial. Part of his plan to close a $2 billion deficit was to not send out the yearly $400 rebate checks. But no, the city council says they have the final say. It seems like the city taxpayers will get their $400 and Bloomberg will have to cut $400 for every check he sends out. Do these fools somehow think the money will fall from the sky?
In Detroit, today's NY Post describes how over 9,000 GM execs get a new car every 6 months, for all of $250 which includes insurance and repairs. Plus, they can expense out the gasoline ! For an extra $50, they get their choice of vehicles. What do you think is by far the most used vehicle? The monster $55,000Cadillac Escalade. Who cares about mileage when GM is footing the gas bill? And this is of course the company that wants us taxpayers to bail them out to the tune of tens of billions! How can they have 9,000 'top managers'?!
Its ironic that between the senate and assembly, all can see, but all are blind. In the governor's mansion, he who is blind seems to be the only one who can see.

Updated: April 8, 2014 6:23AM
A woman's decomposed body was discovered Wednesday morning in a sewer drain pipe in the Morgan Park community on Chicago's Southwest Side, authorities said.
A city water department employee, checking the sewer line for a leak, found the body wrapped in a plastic bag about 10:45 a.m. near 107th Place and Loomis Street, police said.
The unidentified woman, thought to be in her 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. It said an autopsy initially was scheduled for Thursday but was postponed because the body was frozen.
Some residents in the area wondered Thursday whether the body is that of a 30-year-old woman who disappeared in October 2011 after she last was seen leaving her home a few blocks from where the body was discovered, according to news reports.

World's Largest Carpet Manufacturer Rolls Out NetSuite OneWorld To Power Global Growth In A Two-Tier ERP Model
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that Shaw Industries, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) and the world's largest carpet manufacturer with more than $4 billion in annual sales, has rolled out NetSuite OneWorld, the world's most deployed cloud ERP solution for global businesses, in a two-tier ERP model to run a new 210,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Nantong, China, and manage 10 international subsidiaries in countries including China, India, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Shaw Industries' China plant, which opened this year to produce carpet tile for commercial and residential customers in China and the broader Asian market, is now relying on NetSuite OneWorld for financials, financial consolidations and reporting, order management, inventory management, manufacturing and purchasing. The new plant projects to employ up to 250 workers, produce 5 million square yards of carpet tile a year and enable Shaw Industries to reduce the time previously required to deliver U.S.-made carpet tile to the Asian market by several weeks. NetSuite support for the Chinese language allows the company to extend the solution for use across the manufacturing plant and other locations in China, while multi-currency capabilities streamline transactions in the Chinese renminbi and the Australian dollar.
Shaw Industries did thorough due diligence and evaluated the major ERP providers and determined that NetSuite OneWorld best met its criteria for rapid deployment with a lean IT footprint, easy and repeatable deployment model, ease of use and support for multiple languages and currencies to help power international expansion. The large-scale deployment of NetSuite OneWorld, implemented by NetSuite professional services, is designed to support Shaw Industries' strategic objective of rapid global growth, and is integrated with legacy on-premise systems at the company's headquarters in Dalton, Ga., including an Oracle PeopleSoft financials/HR system and a custom-built legacy application for inventory and supply chain.
NetSuite Manufacturing Functionality Creates an Efficient Process for Shaw Industries' Plant in China
NetSuite manufacturing functionality streamlined the manufacturing processes and improved operational efficiency, providing its China-based manufacturing plant with the following capabilities:
- Manufacturing carpet tile in China for sale in China and Asia through a distribution network that leverages NetSuite's multi-location inventory capabilities to strategically position its products within the markets it serves.
- Lot control, which is critical to its manufacturing process to ensure customers get products that match their expectations for product color with little or no variation.
- Work Orders that are used to build both sub-assemblies and final assemblies, and which are key throughout the manufacturing process to pull lot-controlled materials from inventory for use in the production process.
- Advanced Inventory Management and Advanced Bin Management that allow Shaw Industries to accurately control its inventory and re-ordering processes to ensure production targets are met.
- Standard Cost and Work in Process accounting (WIP) that allow the company to control its costs and investigate process variances at all stages of its manufacturing process.

I've placed my immediate feedback in CVS:
I will split the remaining commentary up into two sections:
General Idea Feedback (call these non-editor related) and editorial
feedback (generally segments you should add to the GLEP for editorial

I believe the biggest reason to have per-package eclasses is the following:
1) It limits how users can use an eclass.
a) This makes mis-using eclasses harder to do; Interfaces that are
hard to use incorrectly are good.
b) It means changing an eclass affects fewer packages. It is
currently difficult to control eclass consumers in the current model.
(anyone can use any eclass.)
c) It means eclass changes are easier to test.
I think the GLEP attempts to over-blow the actual impact that its
proposed changes may have. For instance I do not think per-package
eclasses will drastically reduce the number of eclasses in the global
eclass directory. It will not make overlays easier to use (possibly
Plus the number of eclasses that will move to per-package is likely
few (the GLEP itself only notes three.)

The proposal is vaguely similar to GLEP 33. There is also an existing
implementation of per-package eclasses called eblits (used in glibc,
possibly in other places.) The GLEP should refer to these (link to
GLEP 33, if there is a page describing eblits; link to that as well.)
The GLEP should also discuss why GLEP 33 and eblits are not the best
implementation of this idea.
If the GLEP makes claims such as 'The implementation will improve X or
reduce Y by Z%' the GLEP should cite sources, data, or make some kind
of argument as to why that is the case. For instance the GLEP refers
to 'distributing ebuilds in overlays will be easier' but fails to
discuss how it is easier in this new system. When thinking about
these types of things; try to break them down into something
measurable. For instance: "With the old system there were 5
individual steps, the new system only has 3."
The GLEP makes claims about how the per-package eclasses *could* be
made part of the Manifest format. The GLEP should not focus on could.
Either the per-package eclasses are part of the manifest code (per
this GLEP) or they are not. If the GLEP dictates they are to be
included in manifests the GLEP should discuss how exactly that will
work (what types, checksums, etc..) If the eclasses are not required
to be manifested then the GLEP should not tout that as an advantage
over the status quo.

Any dev can check stuff into other dev's individual CVS space. Feel
free to edit the eclass in my devspace if you wish. I think there is
some automation on the actual GLEP webspace now (that htmlifies GLEPS)
so I am avoiding that space cause I forgot how exactly the automation
works ;))

Shavuot Ideas -Baby Lettuce Salad with Pears, Blue Cheese and Candied Walnuts
We served this salad between the amuse bouche and main course as a light refresher, but you can also serve this before the dessert course. Irene chose Dalton Winery, Fume Blanc, 2008 to serve with the salad. This wine is aged in oak barrels and was a lovely crisp wine that I have also served with a fish course.
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil or avocado oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bag assorted baby lettuce
1 bunch of arugula (rocket), trimmed
1/2 cup whole walnuts
2 tablespoons date honey (silan)
1 medium Bartlett pear--halved, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled Maytag or Danish blue cheese
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Place the walnuts on a baking tray and drizzle the date honey over the nuts and mix until they are completely coated. Add more date honey, if necessary. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar and shallot. Whisk in the olive and walnut oils and season with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, arugula, walnuts and pear slices, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Crumble the blue cheese on top and serve.
3 Responses to "Shavuot Ideas -Baby Lettuce Salad with Pears, Blue Cheese and Candied Walnuts"
That was such a yummy salad!
I love this salad and often make it with chevre since blue cheese is a little too strong for me. I'll have to try your dressing because I just bought some silan (not always so easy to find around here in Boston.

The Jabal Omar project involves the construction of two five-star hotels with 935 rooms, and six three-star hotels consisting of 1,255 rooms, over an area of 244,800 sq m. It also includes the construction of 20-storey residential buildings to accommodate 100,000 people, 4,360 commercial and retail units and 520 restaurants.
The project, located close to the Grand Mosque, will also include a car-parking facility for more than 10,000 vehicles, covered air-conditioned plazas for 100,000 worshippers and open courtyards for 120,000 persons, according to reports.
The project, which entails a total built-up area of 1.2 million sq m, has been assigned to the Makkah Construction and Development Company (MC&DC).
Other features of the project include well-laid-out roads, open areas, gardens, fire and police stations, schools, medical centres and public toilets for men and women.
In tandem with these developments, the road infrastructure is being expanded. A new road scheme known as Western Gate Project ' which was recently given the go-ahead ' will be built parallel to the Umm Al-Qura Road, which is heavily congested during the pilgrimage seasons. The Umm AlQura Road is currently the main arterial link to the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
