A huge crowd of 45,217 Canadian fans saw the Championship lead change and a new season winner at the Rogers Centre on Saturday night for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, and its lone international race of the 2011 season.
The 12th stop of the 17-race championship was host to even more of a shakeup in the championship standings as Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey captured his first win of the season. In Supercross Lites class action, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rider and former Canada resident Dean Wilson grabbed the victory.
As the gates dropped on the 20-lap Supercross class main event, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Fabien Izoird, of France, raced to the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot and grabbed the early lead. Behind him, Dungey and Valli Motorsports/Rockstar Yamaha's Nick Wey followed while San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart found himself on the ground, creating a jam that included series points leader and Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Ryan Villopoto.
Dungey moved into first prior to the completion of the first lap and went on to lead all 20 laps. At the conclusion of Lap 1, Villopoto crossed the line in ninth while Stewart sat 13th. The duo moved through the field in tow of one another before Stewart attempted to pass Villopoto. The two riders made contact, falling to the ground. While Stewart re-entered the action, Villopoto pulled off the track to address an issue with his bike.
Dungey fended off the pressure of TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed throughout the main event while American Honda's Trey Canard followed onto the podium in third.
"It's been a tough one (this season) and it feels great to pull (a win) off," said Dungey. "Everyone goes through this at some point because it's a tough road. I got a great start tonight which was huge. The track was really tough and you had to watch the mistakes."
"That's the positive from tonight," said Reed, who claimed the points lead after Villopoto's misfortune. "I have to just carry on. Ryan (Dungey) road a great race, he was faster in the whoops and turns. It took everything I had to pressure him into making a mistake.
"The industry decided not to give me a chance this season," Reed added. "I want to win this championship so bad. It would be a bittersweet speech for sure."
Stewart rebounded from his troubles to finish just off the podium in fourth while Villopoto recorded a ninth-place result. Reed now holds a 3-point lead over Villopoto heading into next weekend's race.
At the start of the Supercross Lites class main event, GEICO Honda's Blake Wharton grabbed the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot with his teammate Justin Barcia and Eleven10 Mods Honda's Darryn Durham in tow. The remainder of the opening lap featured several highlights as DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha's Ryan Sipes took over the top spot, only to be forced off the track by Barcia, who then assumed the lead.
For the next seven laps, Barcia paced the field while Wilson looked to close the gap in second. The distance between both riders continued to decrease before Wilson made the winning pass coming out of the whoops on Lap 8. The win marked Wilson's second of the season and the second of his career.
"The track was really tricky tonight," said Wilson. "I didn't get the greatest of starts but I kept pushing forward. It was all I could do. (This win) means a lot to me. We still have three races to go and I'm still far back in the points, but I'll try my (best)."
Barcia followed in second and has been on the podium at every race of the Eastern Regional Supercross Lites Championship. Wharton rounded out the podium in third.
Barcia's advantage over Wilson, who moved into second in the championship, sits at 16 points.

You shouldn't let potential problems grow into emergencies, but if you didn't purchase health insurance in the past, it is still better to do this step later than never. There are different plans to choose from and each features different type of coverage, with corresponding premiums that can be higher or lower. It is up to the buyer to decide how much he is willing to pay for health insurance, but there needs to be a close link between costs and coverage.
The first step is to choose an insurer that will not leave you hanging when the worst-case scenario becomes a reality, therefore, intensive research is required. By comparing different agencies and grabbing as much company information as possible, you can make an assessment about how likely it is for the contractor to respect its part of the deal. Once this decision is made, it is time to focus on choosing the coverage while paying attention to hospital services, intensive care, lab tests and prescription drugs.
Your insurance should cover the costs of surgery, including the assistant surgeons, outpatient surgery and anesthesiologists, because otherwise it might be impossible to cover these expenses out-of-pocket. The same goes for prescription drugs and physical therapy, which although can be considered as secondary expenses, are significant. Those who are in the market for health insurance and can't make up their mind, can find valuable information at http://finder.healthcare.gov/, from a source that is both instructive and unbiased, therefore, can be trusted without hesitations.

Comments about Daly Orange 5 Pc. Dinette:
This set was the exact color that I was looking and I liked the style of the furniture, fit perfectly in the corner of my room. The only draw back is that the item was unable to be checked because it had to be shipped internationally and because of that when the chairs were being put together at the final destination one chair leg was 1 inch shorter than the rest which has created a problem.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I LOVE THIS SHAMPOO! Seriously this is the holy grail of shampoos for me. I had been using a different shampoo that seriously screwed with my hair - I'm talking hair falling out, incredible knots ect. My first wash with this, and it was like my hair was new again. I use it with the Paula's choice conditioner and my hair feels incredible.
The only improvement that could be made to this product is the packaging. Although good, I would much prefer a pump bottle. But that's a minor detail really.
It left my skin so dry and itchy that I didn't even try it on my hair.
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that the shampoo is not working for you. Please contact customer service for a refund or exchange.
I love the way this feels on my skin, cleansing without drying and gentle. When I use it as a shampoo, though, I find it leaves my hair very dry, even when I use the conditioner with it. My hair type is Nordic, medium fine, softly wavy blonde hair that gets oily very quickly. So for those with drier hair types than mine, you will probably need something more nourishing than this. As a shower gel, though, this is a great product.
I have dry, sensitive skin. This body wash made my skin itchy and dry after my shower. Not a win for me. I'm hoping PC will come out with a more moisturizing version of this body cleanser.
This body wash and shampoo is extraordinarily expensive...and extraordinarily good. I really hate spending this much money on such a basic product full of inexpensive ingredients -- yet I've never found a more gentle, soothing and effective product. It's an excellent product that leaves both hair and skin silky soft and smooth. The fragrance free aspect is the icing on the proverbial cake. I often stray from this product because of the expense, but I always come back.
I have used the all over hair & body shampoo for several years. Began using it to minimize items I had to pack into small containers for travel. Loved it so much I began using it ALL of the time. Recently you changed the container which is not so hot for sitting upside down when you're at the bottom of a bottle and you began watering it down. Why water down an excellent product? Now it takes about twice as much product for the same results. Very disappointing.
I've used this shampoo for years and it's perfect for me, but even the earlier packaging had it's issues. When the new bottle came out, I thought, wow, finally I can stand it on it's head, the cap looked made for it, but noooo, why did it have to have an impossible curve to it? Had you made it flat, at least we could easily stand it on it's head and not waste precious morning moments (rush rush) trying to get the shampoo out. Actually, I'd prefer a much larger bottle with a large pump, like you find in the salon stores. I go through so much of it and I hate to waste all that plastic, so bad for the environment. Please, please add a larger size as an option. Thanks for all you do for us out here in consumer-land, I don't trust anyone else in the cosmetics industry.
This shampoo is awesome, I love it, and it works well as a body wash.
Thank you for your review. We love this shampoo, too!

So after a bit of spelunking, I got this to work:

Of course, there are more ways to pipe, including concurrent and sequential, but since I haven't understood those yet, I think I'm okay to move forward for now (and leave those on the todo list).

Thanks for the excellent tip!
I often use the %x macro to deal with pipes:
%x(find . | grep what)
but when it comes to named-piped or IO pipes, your's is killer!

Thank you! I've been out of Ruby for too long to be able to suggest how to do it, but I'd imagine you could take this further and use blocks/methods to make it even cleaner.

Steer Very Clear
THE DIRTY ARMY: I'd like to introduce you all to Joanna Marie McKay (Zanni) Thunderbay Ontario's biggest prostit*te. This dirty skank moved here in 2006 from Winnipeg Manitoba where she first began to live her life as a whore to feed her cr*ck addiction. She chose to run to another province instead of to stop smoking crck. When she left Winnipeg she also abandoned her firstborn baby, a son, and she never looked back. What a piece of shit this hoe is to leave her baby behind just because he looks like his father. That man stuck with her for 6 years even though she cheated on him, gave him an drd, hooked every night and smoked up all his money. I('m so sick of this slut running around town sucking off all these men for money, she just loves to spread her legs. So ladies hold onto your husbands, boyfriends, sons and dogs cuz this whore will fuck anything that has a heartbeat. one of the rumours around here is that she sleeps around so much because her 47 year old husband Ron can't keep it up anymore, after all, he is pretty old for a 27 year old girl. He only married her because she got pregnant from him, she stood there 8 months pregnant to be wed. All though she has been married to Ron for years and had a daughter with him she still secretly stalks her babydaddy who has long been over her and has been in a 2 year committed relationship and is engaged. Joanna has numerous facebook accounts in different names that her husband does not know about, she even tries to get back together with her babydaddy and tries to interfere with his relationship by messaging his fiance and threatening them. She drinks all the time and still hasn't stopped smoking crck after all these years, thats why she's such a scary looking toothpick. Nik, put this whore on blast she deserves it, but I have one question for you….Would You?? She's nasty, looks like Smeagols from Lord of The Rings lmao

Native iOS and Android Apps
We develop native iOS and Android apps by utilizing a cross platform approach that allows us to take advantage of all device specific user interface features, yet gives us the ability to re-use almost 80% of the project code base for iOS and Android development projects.
We Help Clients Navigate Platform Decisions
Native Apps vs Web Apps? We help clients navigate the decision making process of determining if a mobile optimized web site, web app or native app is the right platform choice for their mobile strategy or app ideas. Native apps offer the best user experience and smoothest functionality, and are the only platform of choice when device or OS specific features are required, such as use of the built-in camera or video, picture library, GPS and location services, push notifications and the like.
Native Apps with Digital Publishing
Another development platform we use that produces natives apps for both iOS and Android is the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. We help our clients understand the benefits, features and limitations of DPS and how this framework compares to creating custom native apps.

Recognizing the People Who Run the World's Best Cargo Hub
What an amazing event! On Saturday, October 16, the Memphis World Hub had a Family Day, to celebrate the World's Best Cargo Hub award bestowed on us by the Institute of Transport Management in London. Almost 6000 people came to show their family what their workplace looks like.
We had examples of all of our aircraft fleet, and most of our ground support equipment. We had games for the kids and food for everyone. We even had tours of the facility so our team members' families could see where they worked.
We posted many photos of the event to the "I Am FedEx" page on Facebook. If you are on Facebook, I invite you to check out the event photos and invite your friends to check it out. Even if you aren't on Facebook, you can see the Facebook photos by clicking here.
There is only one FedEx World Hub... there is no comparison anywhere. Daily we sort over 2,000,000 packages weighing over 15,000,000 pounds and we load and unload this volume onto over 200 inbound and outbound aircraft and several hundred trucks. Of course I recognize the incredible work being done at our other hubs and sort facilities around the globe, but cut me a little slack and allow me to brag on our Memphis team in this post!
I want to personally thank every team member in the Memphis World Hub for your outstanding support of delivering the Purple Promise. The outstanding work this team does every day and night is reflected by the World's Best Cargo Hub recognition award we received.
This Family Day was an outstanding example of the FedEx People philosophy at work. It was great to see so many of our employees together, enjoying themselves with their families!

Editor's note: Douglas Rushkoff writes a regular column for CNN.com. He is a media theorist and the author of "Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age" and "Life Inc: How Corporatism Conquered the World and How We Can Take It Back."
(CNN) -- The recently discovered Flame virus bears all the hallmarks of a cyberattack concocted by a nation-state. It's big and complex and pointed directly at a geopolitical hot zone, Iran.
What really gives it away as a government project is the extent to which its programmers sought to keep it out of civilian hands. The malware seems no more designed to protect us from a nuclear Iran than it is safeguarded to keep us from using the program itself against one another.
Flame is sophisticated. It's not a tiny piece of code that nests itself in e-mail and then erases your hard drive. It might better be described as a suite of programs -- the Microsoft Office of malware -- that perform different tasks.
One turns on the microphone of a computer to record conversations; another sets up a virtual machine on the computer to be controlled remotely; another uses Bluetooth to connect to nearby cell phones and copy data or monitor phone calls. One compresses all this espionage into smaller files; yet another sends data back to the master computer, accepts commands and installs new updates. This level of complexity and breadth of functionality is unparalleled.
But, in the theater of cyberwarfare, every successful cyberattack can be considered the most advanced attack of all time. This is an arms race of a new sort, where measures and countermeasures change the entire programming landscape. The methods of previous attacks, once analyzed, are neutralized by new additions and patches to computer operating systems. This sends would-be infiltrators back to the drawing board to come up with new, superior approaches. Technological warfare is a bit like evolution, where new mutations compete for survival.
Only on computers, we don't have to wait for nature to spontaneously fold a chromosome in some new way. We have programmers actively looking for new windows of opportunity, new maneuvers, new countermeasures and new ways of hiding what they're doing.
It amounts to the weaponization of cyberspace -- a practice in which the U.S. government has apparently been participating, sometimes reluctantly, according to an article in The New York Times last week. The cybercampaign against Iran apparently began under the Bush administration working with Israel, and continued under Barack Obama, who voiced concern about the precedent America was setting.
The resulting Stuxnet virus, aimed at disabling Iran's nuclear refineries, ended up getting loose on the Internet in the summer of 2010. The revelation of U.S. involvement with the virus worried Obama, according to the Times article, as it could justify future cyberattacks on Americans by enemies of the United States.
Flame may or may not be another product of this same campaign.
When asked about his nation's complicity in the malware, Israeli Vice Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon cheekily told Army Radio, "Israel is blessed with high technology." But the rest of us are blessed with high technology, too.
What's to keep malware such as Flame from being used against civilian populations or even by civilian populations?
Nations have been using computers for warfare since computers existed. The development of the modern computer was in no small part accelerated by World War II. America's ENIAC computer calculated artillery trajectories, while Britain's Colossus computer decoded the Nazi's encrypted messages. At the time, however, computers were not household appliances. Like cannons and other weapons of war, they were tools of the state and inaccessible to regular folks.
And while the current cyberwar may be a nation vs. nation affair, the kinds of technologies unleashed in this conflict are not beyond the technical capability of more rogue hackers and criminals. The same technologies that let the U.S. and Israel thwart Iran's nuclear program can also enable, say, an Eastern European crime syndicate to participate in your banking activity.
What makes Flame unique -- and almost certainly of government origin -- is that it appears to have been written in a way that not only slows detection and countermeasures, but that also slows the spread of its techniques. The complete suite of programs is over 20 megabytes.
And while at first glance this seems to be a downside -- an elephant hiding in plain sight -- it has actually served to keep it unnoticed for at least two years. More importantly, it was made huge on purpose. Much of its code is simply camouflage -- 3,000 lines of programming that make it hard to understand and even harder for an enemy team of coders or even hackers in the civilian population to copy and use themselves.
It's as if its programmers were attempting to be responsible or at least exclusionary, and to prevent the weaponization of the greater Internet. Now that's classic government behavior. It's also probably futile.
Such efforts will likely only slow this inevitable slide toward an Internet that feels as blocked by security checks as an international airport. For in truth, we are all blessed with high technology.

Key Losses
FB Erik Lorig, WR Mike Williams, OT Donald Penn, G Davin Joseph, G Gabe Carimi, C Jeremy Zuttah, OLB Dekoda Watson, CB Darrelle Revis.
Team Analysis
The Bucs are one of the most improved teams this season, and are a real dark horse candidate to contend for a playoff spot. The talent is there on both sides of the ball, though the defense could still use some help. However, adding Smith as head coach should be a big help for the defense itself. On offense, they have a solid line, a team of monstrous receivers, and a stud running back with great depth behind him. The only question? Quarterback. They made a great move bringing in McCown, and if he can preform like he did in Chicago, Tampa could easily win even more games than I am projecting. However, I just can't see him playing at that elite level for a whole season. The other quarterback option, Mike Glennon, isn't anything special either. If one of them can prove to be a strong quarterback, the Bucs should have their best season in a while. However, if the situation stays a bit cloudy under center, they may fall just short of the postseason.

Here's Why the Model X Will Be Bigger Than the Model S
Updated from 11:13 a.m. to include thoughts from Morgan Stanley analyst in the fourth paragraph.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tesla Motors (TSLA) future lies in its ability to meet demand for the Model S, the Model X and ultimately what comes after it. If Elon Musk has his way, the Model X will be bigger than the Model S.
In Tesla's shareholder letter, the company noted it expects "to have production design Model X prototypes on the road by end of year and begin volume deliveries to customers in the spring of 2015."
During the conference call, Musk noted that while Tesla has done no advertising for the Model X, reservations for the upcoming sports-utility-vehicle have been staggering, equating it to like fish jumping in the boat.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas noted it was surprising how strong the reservation balance Tesla provided was, due largely to the Model X. "We agree with Tesla management that demand for the Model X could materially surpass that of the Model S," Jonas wrote in a note. The surprisingly strong $160m reservation balance was driven in large part by pre orders for the X."An early view of the Model X prototype. "I think the biggest thing we can attribute that sort of growth to is that the Model X demand is very high," Musk said on the call. "But there's a number -- obviously, we don't disclose it, but even though there's 0 marketing for the Model X -- essentially, it's like if you're going fishing, it's like the fish are jumping in the boat. We're not actually trying to sell the Model X at all, but demand seems to be remarkably high. And we're seeing a steady accumulation of Model X deposits." The Model X is going to be huge for the company, as it moves from just selling a premium luxury sedan, to become a full fledged automaker, and potentially more with its planned giga-factory. Later in the call, Musk noted the X could be bigger than the S, which is astounding considering it's possible the X could wind up costing more than the S, well all options are added. "[I]n relative terms, it appears that the X will see at least as much a demand as the S," Musk said. "And if I was to guess, and this is just a guess, I think the X demand may exceed the S demand. I mean, this is very speculative, so don't hold me to it, but that's my best guess. I think X demand will exceed S demand." It's a little concerning that Tesla has pushed back delivery of the Model X, as JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman noted in a research report ("TSLA updated that its Model X is not expected to launch until the spring of 2015 (vs. earlier guidance for early 2014, which had slipped most recently to late 2014)." However, Musk is a perfectionist, and keeps tinkering with the design, noting he's making subtle changes to the design of the SUV, to get it just right. Aside from the incredible demand already seen for the Model X, it's possible the new truck could have better gross margins than the Model S, something that's a concern. I referenced Tesla's gross margins, excluding Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credits in my spot on CNBC earlier today. With the Model X, it looks like Tesla has another hit on its hands, before it's even out. Now, all it has to do is just make the damn thing. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Gender (The Status of Women in Cambodia)
Cambodia is a hierarchically ordered society with traditional cultural attitudes and norms that discriminate against women and girls and limit their choices and options. Women remain marginalized with gender disparities in rates of literacy, education, employment, and in the percentage of women in the professions and government.
The following statistics illustrate the extent of the problems facing women and young girls in Cambodia , with figures stating that 45% of women are illiterate (70% are functionally illiterate); only 16% of girls are enrolled in lower secondary school (grades 7-9); only 5% of girls are enrolled in upper secondary school; only 30% of upper secondary school students are female; only 20% of university graduates are women; only 10% of National Assembly members are women; only 6% of the female workforce is paid; only 8% of Commune Council members are women; only 7% of judges are women; 23% of women have suffered physical domestic abuse.
Although the equal rights of women are formally guaranteed in the Cambodian Constitution, they are not sufficiently safeguarded and enforced by those in the corridors of power. In addition to this, women have very limited means to call attention to discriminatory practices or other specific problems relating to gender. This is generally due to their lack of legal awareness and limited knowledge of the rights and procedures available to them in order to exercise those rights. Only when women are made more aware of their legal position and the power that it affords them, can steps be taken to begin eradicating gender inequality and violence against women in Cambodia.
With all my love,
The same in my country
This is still the same in my country but my opinion is that as long as we continue to demand for our rights and challenge status-quo and stereotypes handed down to us ignorantly or consciously, we will be victorious....This is serious fight, I swear.

Hello Sister,
Thank you for such a wonderful and informative article. This is why i love Pulse Wire so much. It is a place that women can share safely and openly, a place that we can learn from one another and inspire another. I look forward to reading more about your country and the women in it. Feel free to take a look at a call/need i have posted regarding letters from women. I think you would be perfect for this. I would love to hear from you.
Peace and blessings, Mia
Letter submission
Yes the letter must be submitted to my email address or postal mail box by September 15th, 2010.
Thank you, Mia
Thankyou so very much!!! It is a great network and look forward to sharing with women all around the world.
Have a beautiful day and will wait for your letter.
Sousday Sarvina! GirlREVOLUTION....
Sousday Sarvina! I hope you are well, as you work on the first VOF assignment. ENJOY it and write from the heart, using your intelligence and vision to make the change for the women and girls in Cambodia. I finally read your journal entry regarding the status of Khmer girls and women. It is startling reality but YOU refuse to be a statistic and you step up to educate and empower the young girls, women and ALL Khmer people to get an education. It is a BEAUTIFUL ACT of Compassion, Leadership and VISION. Take good care and sending you a BIG CYBER HUG!
With Gratitude,
Linda M. Ando
Nothing Perfect and Nothing Impossible...
Dear Sarvina,
I love the statement, "Nothing Perfect and Nothing Impossible" is a great motto to follow. Often we get stuck on moving forward because we are striving for perfection; and forget the value of experience, success and failures are excellent teachers. Sarvina, you are already using Web 2.0 as you communicate to the world about the realities and hope you have in Cambodia. Your own stories are communicated thru web 2.0 to the world, touching the mind, heart and spirit of people who care about the welfare of Cambodian women and girls. I look forward to reading your assignment when online! Enjoy the process and let your heart, spirit and words SING!!!
Have a wonderful weekend too! Take care sister Sarvina! linda
With Gratitude,
Linda M. Ando
Gambare Sarvina!
"Gambare" means in Japanese, Good luck and give it your very best, don't give up!
I look forward to reading your first assignment. They will assign someone to read your assignment, not sure if it will be me? However, I am happy to read and provide some feedback. Each assignment you will get feedback from two readers/listeners who are assigned to you for that week. They will give you encouragement and constructive feedback I believe you can only submit your essay/assignment one time. Each new assignment will allow you an opportunity to improve your skills!
It is good you are open to "constructive feedback" to improve your writing and expression in English. Enjoy the process and the joy of expressing your ideas and spirit through each assignment. By the end of week four, you will feel the improvement of your writing and how much you learned. :)
Gambare, Sarvina! linda
With Gratitude,
Linda M. Ando

Gorgonzola Ravioli with Walnut-Brown ButterAuthor: swampkitty05 // Category: Food Blogging Event, Food Porn, Recipes
For this edition of Presto Pasta Night, I decided to go the convenience route again – using store-bought ravioli as the base of Emeril's recipe for Gorgonzola Ravioli with Walnut Brown Butter.
I had picked up some gorgonzola ravioli a while ago at Trader Joe's, but was perplexed what to top it with – gorgonzola is a pretty strong cheese, and I wanted something that would bring that flavor out and enhance it rather than overpower or clash with it.
When trying to get ideas online, I noticed that a lot of people said that nuts pair well with it. I decided to go with this recipe – although I took a shortcut and used already made ravioli, I'll post the original recipe in its entirety in case you want to make the ravioli yourself. Otherwise, just start the recipe at the sauce preparation step.
The brown butter in and of itself lends a certain nuttiness to the dish, and I couldn't detect the cream at all in the final product. Next time around, I'll probably chop the nuts a bit finer, but all in all it was a successful dish.
Gorgonzola Ravioli with Walnut-Brown Butter
recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse
For ravioli:
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, well drained and crumbled
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola or other creamy blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon roasted garlic paste
Freshly ground black pepper
3 sheets fresh spinach pasta
For sauce:
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for topping if desired
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, Gorgonzola, parsley, and garlic paste and mash together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Put 1 pasta sheet on a work surface with the long side facing you. Place heaping tablespoons of filling down the sheet, about 2 inches apart. Brush water around each pile of filling and fold the dough lengthwise over the filling. Press gently around each to force out any air and seal. Trim with a fluted pastry wheel or knife to cut into separate ravioli. Place on a baking sheet lightly dusted with cornmeal to keep from sticking. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the ravioli until they are tender and rise to the surface, gently stirring to keep them from sticking together, 3 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, while the ravioli are cooking, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the butter without stirring until it starts to darken to a golden color. Add the nuts and cook until the butter is golden brown and the nuts are fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the herbs, cream, and lemon juice, and stir to combine. Cook for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the ravioli with a slotted spoon to the skillet with the butter, swirling to coat. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, spooning the sauce over the ravioli to melt the cheese.
Divide the ravioli among 4 plates and sprinkle each serving with additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

I love gorgonzola…butter and walnuts sounds like a winner. You should also try it with a leek/cream sauce (leeks and gorgonzola go really well together).
