Sicilian Christmas Cookies
Some families make then closed with a creamy white sugar glaze on top, looking quite festive with the colored sprinkles on top.
In Palermo, it was called Buccellato, most people I know call it Cuccidati ( with some odd-spelling versions) and at lunch yesterday I heard another name, which I forget now, from Southern Sicily near Gela. Whatever you call them, everyone knows that their version is the best.
In Palermo is where we found the most ornate decorations. There is a tradition of decorating dough on the west coast of Sicily. I tried to repeat the lacy look on the larger ring version I made,
perhaps since this dough is different than the original recipe I had, it didn't hold the decoration as well.
Thanks to twitter, I used a new recipe for me, from an Italian American chef.
Here is his recipe although if you read through the recipe, the foto shown is not how the recipe says to make the cookie. I like the icing finish on the cookies, as he shows them it looks quite festive.
Of course, when I went to make the recipe, I was missing a few ingredients.
But since the Sicilian recipe I had was a little different than his, I knew I could switch.
I used dried white figs,raisins, pine nuts, fresh orange rind and honey with some hot water.
I cut the figs into smaller pieces and then heated the mixture on the stove.
I have a Tuscan spice mixture which has ginger, coriander, nutmeg and cinnamon- and added a touch of black pepper.
I pureed the fruit and let cool.
I used his recipe for the dough, although Italian flour "00" is different, it worked perfectly!
The original dough recipe I had is a very "poor" recipe, no eggs no cream.
I like these so much I will make again and post the other shapes!
Buon Natale!
I am getting ready for my Tuscan Week in San Miguel D'Allende at the Rancho Casa Luna in January. Here is information on the week-long program, for locals, day classes are available.

Tascinating! There is a Turkish cookie just like this called ay çöreği (moon cookie). You can see some pictures of well-made ones here:ReplyDelete
And a recipe in English here:
(neither are definitive, of course!)
Buccellato! In Palermo, there's old school Rosciglione at Ballarò, and to me, they make one of theeee best. Fig stuffing, almongs, orange zest, mmmmm, with a piece of semolina white bread. Thanks Judy for bringing to the surface all these Sicilian specialties!ReplyDelete
My Mom's family made one shaped like a square ravioli all covered with a white glaze. I have no idea how to spell the name, but it sounds like Cows-n-gees.ReplyDelete
The round ravioli shaped Christmas cookies were stuffed with an apple or pineapple mixture and brush with egg before cooking. Came out golden brown.

Review: Fresh even though frozen. Wild caught, trustworkthy company and a trustworthy product. Just plan ahead a bit when you want to have this fillet. I keep them frozen and place in fridge teh night before I want to cook them. Or you can let the pkg rest in cool water for 1/2 hr or so before cooking. They are so tasty, easy to cook, just do not over cook. Vital Choice has lots of help available from live chat, or videos on the website to give recipes and more information. I LOVE IT
"Send me a kitchen scale."
Sheila Steinberg on 12/13/2014 4:26:41 PM
Review: I had been eating 4oz packets of sockeye salmon every day for 3 weeks and decided to buy the 5lb version to save money. It's the same great salmon, but I wish each packet had a weight label. With different shapes and thickness it is hard to guesstimate each amount of salmon you are eating. Either that or send me a kitchen scale.- Customer Service Response "Thank you for ordering with Vital Choice. Each portion in the 5 lb Random Weight Package ranges in weight between 5-6.5 oz each portion. At this time we do not print the individual weights on each packages. We will share this suggestion with our Product Manager's for future consideration."
"Sockeye Salmon"
Susan Coggins on 12/12/2014 3:49:35 PM
Review: We have enjoyed serving twice since I received the package. It arrived on time and was and is very fresh. It is truly fresh and delicious. I love the skin attached ( I used to always buy it with the skin). I think it keeps the flesh moist and full of omegas. Thank you for a wonderful healthy product. I will be ordering again.

Review: Delicious!
"Excellent quality"
Barbara on 12/10/2014 5:15:12 AM
Review: The random portions are really so random, pretty close to each other in size/weight. Arrived in perfectly frozen condition. This fish is delicious baked in the oven or seared in a skillet with a bit of lemon and garlic, maybe a bit of dill. Truly excellent flavor and quality.
Peggy on 12/3/2014 3:06:56 AM
Review: Wonderful Salmon, have ordered it many times and have sent it to friends. Great taste! My Poodle loves it also. My brother eats it raw!
"5lbs of Random wt sockeye salmon"
Patricia Eaton on 10/30/2014 8:11:51 AM
Review: Really enjoyed this selection as I have in the past. Very economical for the quality.
Also was very pleased with the new eco friendly shipping.
"Sockeye Salmon Skin-on"
Stephanie Porath on 10/18/2014 12:07:29 PM
Review: This is the best salmon I have ever had! I also, purchased the seasonings from Vital Choice to rub on salmon. It is easy to prepare and my family loves it. At Christmas time I purchase extra and give it out as gifts.
"no bones!"
Amy Fordham on 10/16/2014 7:10:53 PM
Review: Tastes very good even if I have overcooked slightly, and I have been so happy that there are none of the tiny bones that I tend to find in almost all of the salmon that I buy locally.
"Sockeye Salmon Random Weight"
Anne Clare Gibert on 10/1/2014 12:56:05 AM
Review: For the price and the free delivery, I can't see fault with this great and healthy fish. The pieces are not as thick as I might prefer, but the quality is still very high - deep red color, fresh ocean smell and delightful buttery taste.
"Awesome high quality Salmon"
Sherrie VanDolah on 9/4/2014 10:28:16 AM
Review: I have been a customer of Vital choice for about 7 years. The Salmon is the best I ever tasted. I am very pleased to know there is a sustainable salmon you can buy online, and have delivered right to your door, and the cost is not much more than if you buy salmon at your local grocery store... The Salmon you buy at local grocery stores, is usually farm raised, contains chemicals, and the fish are fed a certain diet, I sure do not want my family eating that... By Far, Vital Choice has the highest quality salmon, I have ever tasted.. their customer service is awesome to say the least...
Juliann on 8/7/2014 6:28:06 AM
Review: Freshest most delicious salmon I have ever had, yum!!!
"Random Weight Skin-On Sockeye Perfect for the Grill"
Pam Gram on 8/2/2014 11:53:58 AM
Review: I am a caterer where my clients wanted a healthy, farm to table, wild caught or free range dinner. I purchased the 5 lb. Sockeye Salmon to fulfill my client's wish. The product came frozen and well packaged. The salmon was beautiful in color and cooked perfectly on the grill. Covering the lid made it possible that the fish did not need to be flipped and it cooked perfectly. When I need a great quality product, I will order from Vital Choice again.
"Excellent Quality, Great Value"
S. A. on 7/24/2014 6:41:24 AM
Review: Delicious, high-quality fishmoney well spent. Will buy again.
June Hertenstein on 6/14/2014 7:28:56 AM

Do you ever see a preview for a movie and think "I know exactly what type of picture that will be?" You role your eyes and say, "skip that." But then you see the movie and you are so surprised because it was different than you expected. I just got out of Drive and I was really hoping to see just an action, adventure, no-thought-required movie and that is not at all what I got. That is not a bad thing, by the way.

Question: What are some of the words you use to describe love? I can think of many but that would take up this entire blog post. I just came back from seeing a movie that may have put some definitions in perfect order and more succinctly than I could: Crazy, Stupid, Love.
I am still undecided if I liked this movie or not. I liked all the actors in it, I laughed (no, I did not cry), I got a little bored and even rolled my eyes…

Have you ever heard the expression: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade? I always thought that was good expression, but I ignored it when I was younger. I had piles of lemons rotting in the corners everywhere. It took a serious wake-up call - my health - to give me the proper recipe to not let the bad stuff get me down - even the details in my past don't bother me anymore. Now I make great lemonade even when lemons are coming at me at warp speed.

Check the rear shocks, if it has large spherical black units attached to the shocks, they commonly fail internally and require replacing. You are able to replace it with a new NORMAL shock without the round unit, should be better but you need to buy a shock and spring.
Also check the bushes

Police: Officer spots man firing shots near North Omaha park
No one was hurt after shots were fired near Miller Park on Friday.
Omaha police said an officer parked in the area saw a person fire shots into the air near 30th Street and Reddick Avenue around 10 a.m. The officer chased after the suspect, who was later determined to be a convicted felon.
When the police department's gunfire detection system picked up the shots and the officer didn't reply to dispatchers, a "help an officer" call was issued.
The call was cancelled moments later.
The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Lamontrell Ashley, was taken into custody and booked on unlawful discharge, possession of an unregistered firearm and obstructing an officer charges.

Fetzer Institute Survey Reveals America's Shared Perspectives On Love, Forgiveness And A Connection To The Global Community
Americans Live with Distrust and Long to Belong
While most Americans describe their personal communities as friendly, peaceful, respectful, and compassionate, 74 percent agree that most people would take advantage of others if they had the chance. In addition, 40 percent of Americans describe their communities as divided; 31 percent claim their communities are intolerant; and 27 percent state their communities are untrusting. The data also points to a clear majority who long to belong. Eighty-two percent of Americans believe that it's important to feel a part of a community in their personal lives and 58 percent of Americans want to be a part of something bigger than themselves but don't know how to begin.
Americans Are Becoming More Spiritual
The survey indicates that the United States is becoming an increasingly spiritual country. Seventy-six percent of American adults consider themselves to be spiritual, and 60 percent of American adults say they are becoming more spiritual as compared to five years ago. Furthermore, nearly three-quarters of American adults believe spirituality can help solve misunderstandings between cultures. Still, there is a segment of the population that doesn't know where to turn to address their spiritual needs. Around one-third of American adults spend a lot of time grappling with spirituality, and more than one in four have spiritual needs and don't know where to turn for help.The Fetzer Institute is a nonprofit, private operating foundation based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Established by broadcast pioneer John E. Fetzer (1901-1991), the Institute uses its philanthropic resources to create programs that foster awareness of the power that love, forgiveness, and compassion can have in our world. With an endowment of $380 million, the Institute dedicates approximately $20 million annually toward its programming efforts. SOURCE Fetzer Institute

|It seems that after retirement I am much more loathe to add anything to this household. Since January, I have gone through the jewelry box and given away 90 percent of it, sorted out all photos and sent them off to new homes. I am still sorting closets and hope to pare down to bare necessities. Has anyone else looked at the fewer years ahead and sorted out their belongings?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi BetsieLT,
It may be that you are recently retired - but life isn't over - I hope.
Had you given thought to what you'd do after retirement, before it came?
It brings a major disruption in your activities, interests, use of time, connections with people, etc.
Are you living alone, or sharing houseroom with (an)other(s)? Do you plan to continue living in your present place?
If not, do you know where you want to go? If you've thought of moving to a distant place, many suggest going there to live in a rental place for a while, to experience it year-round before settling down.
I understand that many people, through many years of living in their home, have acquired most everything that they need/want. On the other hand, some have planned to begin some new interests after retirement and, not having acquired the necessary equipment before, may want to get them now.
I hope that you won't be in a hurry to give away most of your things - especially money and investments - as you may want/need them later.
My 86 year old uncle, whose wife died a year ago now, whom I spent several months with until his cattle went to pasture, as he had bad back, hip (3 replacements) and leg, wonders how much longer he'll be able to continue in his country home. Though he has a (nearly new) truck, his eye doctor was unwilling to give him clearance to renew his driver's licence. But he wants to go on living in the home where he's lived for over fifty years as long as he can.
He looked around, while executors were dealing with his wife's things, and said, "You spend all your life getting a number of things (he has a modest home) and now - what do you do with them?" He can afford anything that he wants.
As a financial planner and retirement consultant for a number of years, I've found that many people have major expenses in the first year or so after retirement - doing some travelling that they've wanted to do in a leisurely fashion.
And in the last year of their life - related to serious medical issues.
I hope that you have assets that allow you the freedom to do some of the things that you'd like in the way of travel, hobbies, attending shows, festivals, etc.
Do you have some friends, especially ones who've retired rather recently? No doubt you can discuss some of the retirement issues with them.
It will be important to make some new friends - for you'll find that a number of the ones you've had for years will be dropping off. In increasing numbers as the years go by.
This is a great new phase of your life - go into it with joy and anticipation. Enjoy each day, week and year to the full. There can be some wonderful days ahead for you.
Good wishes to you as you set off on this new adventure.

|I have much to keep me busily contented, knowing my volunteer time makes a difference in other peoples lives. But things or the collecting of things makes me shudder. Two weeks ago I helped a family sort out an estate and there were boxes and boxes of collectibles that the woman had probably looked at very few times. Boxes of photos that had to be burned as no one wanted them, again covered with dust. All that wasted money that could have helped out any number of organizations. My house is very unadorned. I have nothing to dust and the memories are in my mind. Americans or westerners are really odd people with that need to collect. Other countries live with the basics and are quite content. The older I get the more like my grandfather I become. He always said "the best things in life aren't things" .
|When I put both my mother and her sister in a nursing home, I had the chore of doing something with their belongings. Many of these items were things from my grandmother. A lot of it junk. Things that were never used, just kept, put away in boxes and stored in the attic. Tons of pictures that meant nothing to me and certainly nothing to my children.
I resolved then that no one would ever have to clean out my junk and I am disposing of things that I have no use for. It makes life much easier. Keepsakes and things like that aren't needed to make my life complete.
I say, if you don't want to be bothered with it....toss it or give it away. And enjoy yourself while you do it. Useless posessions can be like chains that keep up from living freely.
It doesn't matter how much longer you may live, if you don't need it, you don't need it. You may even live longer if your life is not cluttered up with "things"

|Betsie, I haven't done a whole lot of that yet, but I do not feel attachments to things as I used to. There are many things that I wouldn't mind getting rid of now and truly need to get rid of. We only have one living son left and I'd rather sort now and make it easier for him later.
|I'm 41 and i need some financial advice. I'm in a 401K through my employer. I contribute 6% and they match 3%. Not much i know but is really all i can do now. What is the single most important thing i can start doing right now to make my financial future brighter. I want to be comfortable when i retire. I know i waited kind of late in the game but i'm hoping better late than never. I'm new here but have been lurking long enough to know that there are some really smart people. Joyfulguy please help. Thanks

|Betsie, I know exactly what you are saying. My house is far too cluttered with things that I really don't need anymore. I've started to do some major pitching and things are a lot easier for me with less clutter.
|I think it's great to clean out stuff and get rid of it (my orders are to take what you want and call goodwill for the rest) I think you are wrong in looking forward to a shortened future. That could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Live each day but also look forward to tomorrow. Who knows you might turn into the next Grandma Moses.
|I think you guys are mis-interpreting what she is saying...The shortened future does not have negative connations to me, it's a fact of life...What she is saying, as I understand it, is not that she is ready to kick off or crawl in a hole and kiss off..She is franklying saying that her years on this earth grow less every day. I can certainly relate to what she is saying......I know full well that we are approaching the twilight years but looking forward to them with lots of gusto....how ever many remain but I don't want to be bogged down with posessions. I know exactly what she is saying because I feel the same way. I don't need or want any more. I am so content with what we have and don't relish the idea of accumulating any more junk. I have systimatically gone through and done the same thing. Believe me it is liberating for us. I know so many people that wouldn't part with anything that belongs to them, but my granddaughters now own beautiful albums of all the baby pictures that were given to me. My daughter owns all the baby sweaters that I knitted for her...I can press forward to the long awaited retirement years with out worrying about any of this stuff.....Betsie..I feel exactly as you do..I am loathe to add any more junk.....
|Big Mama,
I appreciate your positive approach.
I hpe that BetsyLT's approach is similarly positive.
It does make it difficult to know "what to get for you" for birthdays, Christmas, etc.
In many cases - not a "thing" - but some hours of the giver's time.
Whether to sit and talk, over a cup of tea, or to go with/take her somewhere that she has a hard time finding the energy to go on her own.
Recently a friend was going for a checkup of her bowel. Had breast cancer several years ago.
Didn't know whether they'd give her medications which would make it unwise for her to drive.
She was approaching the issue with some trepidation, too, I believe.
I offered to drive her, which she accepted with alacrity.
The other day she went to hear the Dr.'s report - alone. Parked in parking garage by Univ. Hosp.
Dr. said, though some complications in bowel, no malignancy.
On her way out, took wrong turn in parking garage, scraped her Lincoln Town Car, vintage '94.
When I heard of the problem I wished that I'd reiterated my offer to go with her.
This morning, on my way to root canal work, visited her place to move some boxes. She talked of getting estimate on vehicle repair.
I offered to go with her, if she wished.
As she was ready to start, I almost suggested that, as I wouldn't have anything positive to offer, that I not go.
On the way home, she told how she appreciated my offer, that she wouldn't have gone on her own, today. (Possibly not tomorrow, either?)
Plastic moulding on one rear door - possibly over $300., if can't find replacement. Almost $100. for door handle. Some other mouldings, paint to fix.
Almost certainly well over $500.
Good wishes to you senior adventurers,
ole joyful
|Hi all,
Bad news - estimate to repair minor problems on my friend's Lincoln - $1,300.
And, as she's 80, must undergo driver's test to continue to drive.
Figures the car's too big and ungainly, may cause her to fail the test, so thinking of selling and getting a smaller vehicle.
Good wishes to all.

What other U.S. group was as good for as long?
Warner Bros. / AP Images
After R.E.M. announced its breakup on its website yesterday, some fans of the band jokingly started counting down to the inevitable reunion tour in 10 years. The cynicism isn't surprising, given the way R.E.M.'s image has decayed in the 21st century: One popular line of thinking says yes, R.E.M's legendary, but its members stuck around too long, put out too much mediocre music, and sullied their own legend. But the truth is that a decade of breathing room may be very kind to the band's legacy. It's indisputable that the last 14 years of R.E.M. don't compare to the first 16—remember, the lionized indie rockers Pavement released the quintessential R.E.M. tribute "The Unseen Power of the Picket Fence" way back in 1993, before Monster, New Adventures in Hi-Fi, and Up. But those first 16 years, so easily taken for granted now that the band is considered a past-its-prime institution, are more than enough to qualify R.E.M. as perhaps America's greatest band.
The stats: R.E.M. released 15 albums, an EP, and one early rarities collection (Dead Letter Office) between 1982 and 2012. Six of these went platinum. In terms of critical and eventual popular acclaim, R.E.M.'s run between 1982 (their debut EP Chronic Town) and 1998 (the chilly, buzzing Up) ranks with the peaks of any great American rock band. But R.E.M.'s success is unique. Try naming another rock group without a traditional sex symbol on its roster that released only very-good albums for its first 16 years of existence—albums that were willfully arty and seemingly uncommercial and yet continually built the band's following. That's a lot to do, for what amounts to an incredibly long time in the fickle world of pop music.
Story continues below.
On these terms, the contenders start falling away. The Beach Boys were very-good-to-great from 1962 to 1971, a run four years shorter than R.E.M.'s prime. The Grateful Dead's similar 30-year streak puts Jerry Garcia and co. in the conversation, but R.E.M.'s craftsmanship and musical impact outpace the Dead's improvisational skills and cultural legacy. Neither the Byrds, Creedence Clearwater Revival , the Velvet Underground, the Ramones, Talking Heads, the Replacements, Husker Du, or Guns 'n' Roses lasted long enough. Aerosmith has stuck around for a decade longer than R.E.M., but with only a handful of great tunes and a ton of second-run blues rock and drippy schlock. The E-Street Band is disqualified on technical counts: It's Springsteen's backing band, while R.E.M. was a much more democratic unit in terms of compositional input. Parliament between Chocolate City and Motor-Booty Affair had five strong albums in three years. Metallica was done with excellence after …And Justice for All. Sonic Youth has lasted as long, and stayed more relevant, but have nowhere near the following. The Roots? Wilco? TV on the Radio? The frighteningly consistent Spoon, which has released six consecutive great LPs since 1998? The jury's still out.
R.E.M.'s legend comes from the sense imparted by its music that its members seemed to know something about America—particularly the old, weird South—that their peers couldn't quite access. Of course, R.E.M. knew they couldn't quite reach these truths themselves, so they smudged the facts a bit—particularly through Michael Stipe's foggy lyricism—creating a rich mythology of their own that begged for headphone listening and attempts at lyrical translation. Chronic Town and Murmur, two parts of one of the most assured debuts in rock history, were impressionist paintings of communication breakdowns. That most human of urges, the desire to connect with others, was filtered through a dreamscape of weird characters and stories, marked by Peter Buck's chiming 12-string arpeggios and the rhythms of small-club power-pop. R.E.M.'s legendary run on tiny indie label I.R.S. Records was marked by the Georgia band grappling with the history of their surroundings—songs touched on railroad conductors, manual laborers, traveling carnivals, local eccentrics and folk artists—while simultaneously trying to make sense of human desires in the present. This all produced a slew of classic singles: "Talk About the Passion," "So. Central Rain," "Driver 8," "Fall on Me," "The One I Love" alone are enough to cement R.E.M. as the American independent band of the 1980s. Then there's "It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)," a rapid-fire series of dream-logic non sequiturs that amounts to rock's single most completely un-singable classic anthem.
In retrospect, "End of the World" was also the band's swan song in independent music, a torrent of spellbinding imagery seemingly meant as a cathartic credit-roll to the band's first phase. In barely over five years since their debut, R.E.M. had gone from being a college-radio mainstay associated with fellow Athenians the B-52s to an act getting compared with U2 for the title of World's Greatest Band. Like Bono, Stipe had always been a politically-minded singer, but with 1988's Green, the band set out to its largest audience yet with its most explicitly political (and hardest rocking) anthems: about war, the environment, and a general encouragement to "Get Up" and do something with one's life. The chorus of the hit single "Stand" (which would later provide the theme music for Fox's surrealist sitcom Get A Life) encapsulates R.E.M.'s longstanding focus on one's immediate surroundings, especially in the face of an increasingly globalized mindset: "Think about the place where you live, wonder why you haven't before."
Try naming another rock group without a traditional sex symbol on its roster that released only very-good albums for its first 16 years of existence.
This second phase of R.E.M.'s career—their commercial and artistic peak—saw the quartet bring their idiosyncrasies to the masses, on the band's own terms. 1991's Out of Time and 1992's Automatic for the People, released 19 months apart, solidified R.E.M. as America's most important band, capable of crafting universally themed, emotionally saturated works that suffered nothing for their inherent weirdness. "Losing My Religion" reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 partly on the strength of a Peter Buck lead riff played on a mandolin and a Tarsem-directed video comprising tableaux vivants of Caravaggio paintings. "Shiny Happy People" hit No. 10 at MTV's peak despite most closely resembling a hippy-dippy Turtles song from two decades prior. Largely regarded as the band's best work, if not one of the rock era's finest moments, Automatic for the People came late in 1992, sounding all the more classic amid the quickly fading fads of "grunge" and "alternative." The album turned R.E.M.'s old focus on quirky characters skyward: "Man on the Moon" and "Monty Got A Raw Deal" made weirdo comedic provocateur Andy Kaufman and gone-too-soon closeted '50s Hollywood star Montgomery Clift into aspirational figures. But it's Automatic's more straightforward numbers that will last longer. "Nightswimming" is a classic work of understated sentimentality based on a Mike Mills piano figure that sounds pulled from the Great American Songbook. The more straightforward "Everybody Hurts" (penned by drummer Bill Berry) flirts with over-the-top sentimentality, but is saved by one of Stipe's most elegant vocals. It's overplayed as a staple of sappy dramas (and parodies of sappy dramas), but it's also a simple statement of empathy.
By the time of Monster, the band's wildly underrated, glammed-out, noise-pop opus, R.E.M.'s members were viewed as survivors and elder statesmen by an entirely new generation of upstart rock bands. Like so many film directors, after a "classic" release, R.E.M. cashed in its capital and made its noisiest and most experimental work (listen again to "Circus Envy," for instance). Yet while many fans jumped ship at this point (Monster is more known for filling mid-'90s used-CD bins than home collections), this album is crucial to the band's narrative for Stipe's first public embrace of his queerness, as well as a more general, often stunning turn toward lust and unrequited passion. Released two years later and cobbled together from recordings done on the road, New Adventures in Hi-Fi was the first R.E.M. record that fans started calling "a return to form." It's an eclectic, darkly evocative album encompassing a stunning range of styles—the Patti Smith-assisted old Hollywood ode "E-Bow the Letter" shares space with the gleaming ARP synthesizer on "Leave"—that ranks among R.E.M.'s two or three finest albums, a rare achievement for a band 14 years into its career.

In Scenic, Washington, the Great Northern Railway, which crossed the Cascades and reached Seattle, was completed.
Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act, aiding the construction of a railroad line from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean.
The first transcontinental railroad was completed when the Union Pacific and Central Pacific met.
News broke that members of Congress had been involved in rail industry corruption. The Union Pacific Railroad company had been hired to build part of the transcontinental railway. Instead of hiring outside contractors to complete the construction, however, Union Pacific vice president Thomas Durant and Union Pacific's other largest stockholders organized their own construction company—Crédit Mobilier—and awarded the UP building contract to themselves. Durant and other Crédit Mobilier executives reaped major profits for themselves from the...
Congress passed the Hepburn Act, which gave the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to determine maximum railroad rates and regulate other transportation.

Enumerate the rationals in [0,1] as q1,q2,... . Plot the points (q1,1) and (q2,1) to start with, followed by joining them by a straight line. Assume inductively that you have plotted the points upto some qn.Then, q(n+1) may lie at the extreme left or right of all the previously plotted qs, or lie strictly between some qk and ql (k,l<=n).In the 1st 2 cases, just join q(n+1) with the previous extreme point, after plotting q(n+1) arbitrarily(keeping some bound in mind). In the 3rd case plot(q(n+1),m), where m is any real within the bound, with m>max(y-coordinates of qk and ql). Then, rub the line joining qk,ql and draw 2 new lines joining qk,q(n+1) and ql. This is just a construction and you can obviously make it rigorous.

So I knew Visionsoft had gone under and my licence of Visaul Audit was about to expire. What I didn't realise was that the sfotware would totaly stop working! :mad:
So after sulking for a day I got to thinking, what should I replace it with? And thus I need some suggestions. I've got Spiceworks but to be honest I don't like it as much as I did visual audit. I find it a bit clunky (love the helpdesk though).
So any recomendations? Free is good but I don't mind paying a little.

The University of Minnesota got off to a strong start at Saturday's Big Ten Championships only to see its title hopes unravel during a disastrous evening session in Madison, Wis.
The Gophers went 1 for 9 in semifinal matches, with only heavyweight Tony Nelson advancing to the title round, and fell from first to third in the team standings.
Entering the final day of the tournament, that battle is a two-team fight between Penn State, with 122 points, and Iowa, with 121, with the Gophers a distant third at 86.
The Nittany Lions and Hawkeyes each advanced five wrestlers to the title round, while the Gophers were shut out except for Nelson, who pinned Penn State's Jon Gingrich in 1:58 to earn a championship date against Indiana's Adam Chalfant.
Nelson, a two-time Big Ten and NCAA champion, improved to 28-4 with the win, which followed earlier decisions of 4-0 over Illinois' Chris Lopez and 2-0 over Bobby Telford of Iowa.
Otherwise, the evening session was a total loss for the Gophers, who led Penn State 77-70 after the morning matches.
Among the disappointments, returning Big Ten champion Dylan Ness dropped a 7-3 semifinal decision to Nebraska's James Green and three Gophers went down to one-point losses: Logan Storley, 3-2 to Nebraska's Robert Kokesh at 174 pounds; Kevin Steinhaus, 5-4 to Elben Lofthouse of Iowa at 184; and Scott Schiller, 3-2 to Ohio State's Nick Heflin at 197.
Other Gophers to fall in the semis were: David Thorn, 9-4 to Tyler Graff of Wisconsin at 133; Chris Dardanes, 9-0 to Ohio State's Logan Stieber at 141; Nick Dardanes, 4-2 to Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern at 149; and Danny Zilverberg, 8-5 to Iowa's Nick Moore at 165.
Sunday's competition begins at 11 a.m. with consolation semifinals and seventh-place matches, while first-, third- and fifth-place matches are scheduled for 1 p.m. Championship bouts will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network.

Our main-MINI-man Gabe over at MotoringFile procured a handful of shots showing the safety car for the 2008 MINI Challenge, and the series' organizers have commissioned a one-off Clubman S to be built with a host of modifications to make it track worthy. Although there's no mention of what changes were made under the hood, according to the site, a John Cooper Works (JCW) exhaust is fitted and the new rear spoiler will be an option for the Clubman come 2008. The obvious changes to ride height would imply that some serious suspension tweaks were in order, while the new front and rear diffuser could foretell the future of JCW-equipped Clubmans.
You can read over our previous posts about the MINI JCW Challenge racer here and here, and check out more shots of the Clubman safety car here.

Why Tapering May Be Bullish for Emerging Markets
Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center. -- Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --When consensus opinion reaches an extreme, it is often wrong. We could very well be seeing that here regarding fears of the Federal Reserve tapering its quantitative easing (QE) this week and its supposed negative effect on emerging markets.
All year long we've been hearing the same story, that any Fed tapering will disproportionally hurt the emerging markets as money will flow out of emerging countries in search of safer U.S. assets.
Let's think this logic through, step by step.
If tapering is supposedly disproportionately bad for emerging markets, then the endless quantitative easing over the past few years should have been disproportionately good for emerging markets. Not only has this not been the case, but the opposite has been true.
The chart below illustrates a price ratio of emerging markets -- as seen by the SPDR S&P Emerging Markets
(GMM) exchanged-traded fund -- to the S&P 500, as seen through the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust
(SPY). A declining ratio as we have seen over the past few years indicates that the numerator (emerging market equities) have significantly and consistently underperformed the denominator (S&P 500). As emerging markets have clearly not benefited from quantitative easing, then, why should we assume that a reduction or elimination of the program will have a deleterious effect?
