Dr. McDougall's Organic All Natural Soups hit the supermarket shelves recently, and I received a few samples for review. The first one I picked to try was the Organic Tortilla Style Soup, described as, made from a prized recipe that blends organic masa harina, corn, black beans and vegetables in a delicious Southwestern broth. The soup is also vegan and gluten free.
The directions on the carton read, just heat and serve, so I poured out about half the contents in a bowl, and microwaved it for a few minutes. The result was a delicious hearty soup. It was a little on the sweet side - I was actually expecting a more salty flavor - but it wasn't an unpleasant surprise. There was a lot of beans and corns in the slightly thick broth of this robust soup. After a few spoonfuls, I also started getting some of that spicy heat on the back of my tongue from the chilies - nothing too strong though. Love this soup - although I have to admit to adding just a pinch of salt to my 2nd portion - and then the soup really was perfect in my eyes.
Each 1 cup serving of Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup provides 100 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 530 mg sodium (22% of the daily value), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. The sodium content is actually that of most "low sodium" soups. The ingredients are, filtered water, organic vegetables (tomatoes, corn, onions, chilies, garlic, cilantro), organic black beans, organic masa harina, natural flavors, organic starches (corn, potato), sea salt, organic spices, organic evaporated cane juice, organic sesame, organic tamari soy sauce, citric acid.
As I mentioned before, I received samples for review, so I'm not sure of the exact retail price (on their website, other comparable options cost just under $3.00 per 18 ounce (510 gram) carton - about 2 servings). As much as I like Muir Glen Organic Chicken Tortilla Soup (Review), I think I give Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup the edge because it's lower in calories and has way less sodium - 22% compared to 33% of the daily value.

OMG! There's A New Harry Potter Movie In The Works!
Before you head to The Three Broomsticks for a celebrational butterbeer, know that this is not a 9th installment of the Harry Potter films. However, J.K. Rowling has signed a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the wizarding world to the big screen once again! Rowling will write a screenplay based on the fictional textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The movie, she explains, Is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world.
The new movie will be set in New York, seventy years before Harrys story begins, and will follow a new protagonist, Newt Scamander, the author of the magical textbook. So, you wont see Daniel Radcliffe reprising his role as "The Boy Who Lived," but you might see Buckbeak the hippogriff or Aragog the spider!
Will you go see the new movie? Let us know in the comments!

Hi everyone! Spring has arrived. The Garden Club's daffodils are popping up, and will be blooming soon (our thanks to that group of hard workers).

Volunteers to rebuild the stonewalls of the beds are needed. Contact: Lyonsvolunteers.org

Another week gone by; a spring snow came last Thursday night and it is now rain and snow this week. It is getting very scary how much snow is in the high country; with hopes that it stays cool this spring and it comes down gradually. Everyone is very skittish and concerned.
You can vote in the Town election if you still have your Lyons address or P.O. Box. You should get your ballot by mail in a couple of weeks. If not, contact Debbie Anthony at the Town Hall.

"For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future."
John F. Kennedy, our 35th president of the United States, spoke these words. This statement conveys enduring truth today, just as it did during the restless and changing 1960s, when JFK first spoke those lasting words.
Today's workforce is experiencing extensive, far-reaching change as employers and companies search for qualified applicants to fill jobs requiring technical and computer skills. America continues to lead the world in innovation and technology, but our workforce is falling behind. While some improvements are being made, our education system and workforce are not completely aligned and therefore, the workforce is not keeping pace with technology and employer demands of the 21st century.
Education plays a significant role in helping job seekers meet employer expectations. Scores from the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment recently reported that 15-year-old students in the U.S. were performing about average in reading and science, and below average in math compared to other countries.
Out of 34 countries, the U.S. ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math. Despite American businesses and corporations spending billions of dollars each year training and developing their employees, despite considerable investments by federal, state and local government, employers continue to report too many job seekers are unqualified for current openings.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates more than 3 million jobs continue to go unfilled despite persistent high unemployment rates (currently around 8 percent).
I recently attended a business and industry leaders meeting where Tennessee Deputy Gov. Claude Ramsey stated that he personally knew of 1,400 job openings in Nashville, but there were not enough qualified skilled workers to fill the openings. While these jobs sit idle and vacant, we are missing significant opportunities to grow our economy, establish economic recovery from the recession and build for the future. Meanwhile, the global economy for countries like Germany, India, Korea, and China are moving ahead because they are preparing and equipping their citizenry to meet the educational and technical requirements for the 21st century.
While somewhat protected from deep recession, Bradley County and surrounding areas are not completely immune to this sagging, overall weak economy and unacceptable high unemployment rates. In its Sept. 6, 2012 edition, a regional newspaper's front-page headline read: 'Help wanted; skills lacking.' The writer went on to cite a recent Brookings Institute study which found that for the past six years more than 36 percent of available jobs listed in Chattanooga required at least a four-year college degree which is more than three times the share of unemployed Chattanoogans who have such degrees.
Moreover, there is evidence that even with a four-year degree, job applicants may not find employment if specific technical skills are missing. Employers are expecting more from their job applicants than ever before in terms of technical and computer skills. Interestingly, many local employers are not necessarily looking for job applicants with a "degree," but instead are accepting job applicants who demonstrate relevant experience, technical skills, hard work ethics and a track record of dependability.
Our region
I recently toured the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga. If you have not taken the amazing tour, I highly recommend it. It was a fascinating scene which could have been taken right out of a "Star Wars" movie. State-of-the-art, sophisticated, computer technology efficiently manages highly complex, multiple moving parts and mechanical systems with precision. Forget your trusted pipe wrench and Phillips screwdriver. Leave them behind in your garage. If you find yourself fortunate enough to have a job interview at Volkswagen, you probably won't need them here to assemble cars. Forget your greasy oil and transmission fluid cans, funnels and familiar lubricant guns. Programmed robots drop from the ceiling at precisely the right moment to inject the engine's fluid receptacles, readying the car for that first highly anticipated ignition.
Local employers like Schering-Plough, as well as the expansion of Whirlpool, are adding jobs to Bradley County. Our region has also witnessed recent successes in growing our manufacturing employer base by landing new, multibillion dollar investments. Wacker Chemical, Volkswagen and Alstom will be critical to our regional workforce for years to come.
Meigs County Chamber of Commerce President Ronda Tucker recently told me that recovery is coming to Meigs County.
"It's just a matter of time," she said.
At Gov. Bill Haslam's recent Governor's Conference held in Nashville, economic development consultants predicted that jobs once lost to "off-shoring" were returning "on-shore" within the U.S. Why? Many "off-shore" job markets are becoming increasingly more unstable and unpredictable due to political, monetary and religious unrest.
The "Made in the U.S.A." label still conveys value around the world. Bradley and surrounding county residents are well-positioned to acquire meaningful and productive future jobs. But, the question looms large: Is our local Bradley and surrounding county workforce qualified, skilled and prepared to take advantage of these jobs? Or will employers seeking skilled workers be forced to look outside of our area, passing over "Clevelanders" to find more qualified candidates?
Here are some key, basic facts to keep in mind:
- Bradley County ranks fifth in the state of Tennessee for business and industry density (per capita); that's 10,000 manufacturing employees and 50,000 total workforce.
- More than 63 percent of the jobs (nationally) by 2018 will require at least some post-secondary education [Source: Carnevale, Al; Smith, N.; and Strohl, J.; 2010, Georgetown University.]
- Workers with more education are more productive and content on the job. [Source: Sandra Black and Lisa Lynch, Department of Economics, Harvard University.]
- By 2020, 56 percent of jobs will require a career certificate or college degree.
- Too few students complete college.
- Some 31 percent of Tennessee adults currently have an associate degree or higher.
- Scores from the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment show 15-year-old students in the U.S. performing about average in reading and science, and below average in math.
- Out of 34 countries, the U.S. ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math.
These are some eye-opening, perhaps even alarming, facts and numbers.
So how do we move forward from here in light of where we've been, where we are now and where we need to go?
I'll address some of those questions next week.

I am curious about this too. If you have two hoppers (no Joeys), is one hopper able to watch the tuners (OTA or SAT) of the other hopper? In essence, can one hopper be a client of another one? I know it can watch recorded shows of the other hopper, but what about live tuners?
I was considering getting a second Hopper instead of a Joey since I understand the montly fee of $7 is the same either way. Maybe all three tuners are busy on the Hopper I am using and I want to watch something else. Can I access the free tuners on the other Hopper?
Not sure about that as a basic function. My understanding from my questioning here is that you can't at this time. That's the integration I speak of. Where a two Hopper install basically networks them into one DVR to the end user in which any connect Joey would take any available tuner as needed. The operation becomes "seamless" with no switching and re-linking. If they did that, I'd already be signed up! It's the one thing I'm debating over deciding between DirecTV or Dish. DirecTV has this functionality, but I lose other things I want (HD Channels, a superior UI, Auto Hop). I have to consider the household and not myself only, so I want something everyone can be happy with.

A passion for the legal profession.
Graduating from John Marshall Law School in 1982, Joy Cunningham has practiced law in Chicago for over 30 years.
Over the course of her legal career, the native New Yorker served as associate general counsel, Loyola University of Chicago/Loyola University Health System; a litigator with French, Rogers, Kezelis & Kominiarek; Assistant Illinois Attorney General; judicial clerk to Illinois Appellate Justice Glenn Johnson; judge, Circuit Court of Cook County; and senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, Northwestern Memorial System.
When discussing her current role, Judge Cunningham says being an appellate judge is "an intellectually challenging job. But I've practiced law, in one form or another, for many years and never had a job I didn't like. I love getting up every day and coming to work."
Early in her career, some challenges she faced were racial issues. "When I worked for Justice Glenn Johnson – [the second] African-American to serve on the Illinois Appellate Court – he said the Chicago Bar Association (CBA) had an 'unwritten rule' when he was younger that blacks and Jews weren't welcome," she recalls. "When he was able to join, he wanted to make changes from within the organization. So, he required all his law clerks to join the CBA."
Years later, Judge Cunningham was elected president of the CBA. Being the first African-American woman to lead the organization, from 2004-05, she felt a great sense of responsibility to continue to be an advocate for diversity in the organization.
Today, the judge notes, "CBA activities are a great way to meet diverse groups of lawyers with similar interests. Chicago's a great networking city. I love my hometown of New York, but it's too big. If you're serious about your profession, whatever it may be, you can establish a great network of professional colleagues that will help you grow in this city."

'....and MINING IN NATIONAL ****ING PARKS. and these bell-ends won a landslide second term. A FIRM HAND ON THE TILL, A GREAT BIG COCK PISSING ONTO A HUMAN FACE FOREVER.'
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
IMO, **** yes. Amazing credentials, inspiring background and a potentially superb leader. For me, the Labour leadership contest is a no-brainer. If they end up going for Cunliffe, I don't know what I'll do.
Having said that, I do like Nanaia Mahuta. No one seems to have a bad word to say about her and her work ethic. I hope the fact that she's Cunliffe's running mate won't count against her too much if Shearer wins.
Meanwhile, ACT has somehow managed to dictate education policy, despite winning less than 1% of the vote. How did that happen? Token portfolios outside Cabinet would have been more enough for that joke of a party. And it's an education policy I very strongly oppose as well.
ACT being given anything is mind boggling.
I'd find ACT's supposed libertarian philosophy a lot easier to believe if they weren't led by the far right.
Speaking of which, I have a bad feeling the Conservative Party will emerge on the scene since National need some mates under MMP. In NZ we're pretty fortunate that both major parties (in their current form) are sane and won't destroy the country (unlike say the current Republican Party in the States), but we really need to keep Colin Craig and his merry band of wankers away from parliament, and I say this as someone who voted for National in the last election.
Yep, no disagreement from me on that. Some scary ideas in that party.
I think we might also get some unpleasant surprises amongst this bunch of unknowns Winston's bringing to Parliament with him. No one thought he'd get back in - especially with that number of seats - so we haven't heard much about them, but what I have heard has been... colourful. Climate change denial, rampant xenophobia, etc.
I think the guy who wants South Island independence is awesome. He's going to be a great comedy act.
It actually makes sense economically for the North Island to ditch since Christchurch is a bottomless pit financially.

I imagine this thread will be seen as quaint by everyone else.
Shearer seems awesome. He's got a bit under 3 years to get ready for the election, and by then his profile should be nicely built. Like Ed says his credentials are amazing and on the world stage he'll put John Key to shame.
The whole John Banks ACT thing pisses me off no end. Mostly because it can be seen as a negative for the MMP system, which is still by far the best. Still, I don't see ACT gaining popularity and getting anymore people next election.

Typical head football coach half-time speech to his team and coaching women in football should not be any different because if it was done in a more toned down and "be really careful what you say because they're women" manner, then that would be considered sexist.

Decleor At-A-Glance
Strengths: None of note.
Weaknesses: Expensive; pervasive use of volatile essential oils that have limited to no benefit for skin and are known irritants; almost all the sunscreens lack the right UVA-protecting ingredients; no product to address acne or skin discolorations; inappropriate jar packaging.
What can you say about a skin-care line where almost 85% of the products contain volatile, fragrant plant oils that have research showing they are irritating to skin? Few lines in this book received so many unhappy faces for this reason alone—yet those very oils are Decleor's claim to fame. This spa-oriented company was begun in 1975 by a massage therapist and is now owned in part by Japan-based Shiseido (whose sunscreens trounce Decleor's by leaps and bounds).
Decleor is all about aromatherapy for skin. They speak freely of the purity of the essential oils they use and the distillation processes that keep them active, but that's precisely the cause for concern. Yes, lavender, bitter orange, rose, geranium, neroli, and other "essential" oils smell wonderful, but the very ingredients that create those intoxicating scents are what is responsible for causing skin irritation, inflammation, and, in some cases, phototoxic reactions. These essential oils have active constituents but, because they are not regulated as such, any company can use whichever ones they like in any concentration. Moreover, companies don't have to indicate the quantities that were used, leaving the consumer to guess. The concept of aromatherapy has well-established benefits concerning inhalation of scents and the effects they have on one's mood and, sometimes, physiological function. But enjoying these oils via inhalation (where they really can be beneficial) is different from applying them to skin, where hypersensitivity is well-documented and topical usage is cautioned (Sources: Current Pharmaceutical Design, December 2006, pages 3393–3399; Phytotherapy Research, September 2006, pages 758–763; European Journal of Oncology Nursing, April 2006, pages 140–149; The Journal of Nursing, August 2005, pages 11–15; and www.naturaldatabase.com).
Not only are most of Decleor's products a giant step backward for your skin, they're also a real misfortune when you consider Decleor's terrible sunscreens and lack of truly state-of-the-art ingredients. In short, experiencing these products in a relaxing spa environment may make you feel refreshed or invigorated—but if your goal is establishing a sensible, effective skin-care routine, you'll need to keep shopping.

An 18-year-old Eureka man who walked by Cutten Elementary School carrying a shotgun and ammunition Friday morning was taken into custody at gunpoint and evaluated for mental health issues, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said.
The man was carrying the shotgun over his head and had ammunition in a camouflage tactical vest.
Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Lt. Steve Knight said deputies found the man after he had already passed by Cutten Elementary, and was north of the school at Walnut Street and Arbutus Street. Two deputies drew their firearms and "proned him out at gunpoint," Knight said, telling him to put down the shotgun.
The man -- whose name has not been released because he was not booked into jail -- took several seconds before putting down the weapon.
Knight said his department received at least four calls reporting a man with a shotgun and backpack on Walnut Street. The first was at 10:33 a.m., the second and third at 10:35 a.m., and a fourth at 10:36 a.m., which is when deputies contacted the man.
One of the calls came from Cutten Elementary, he said.
"I think everyone's on edge because of what happened (in Newtown, Conn.)," Knight said. "We're very happy nobody was injured."
The man was holding a 12-gauge Remington 870 shotgun above his head when deputies located him. He was wearing a camouflage tactical vest loaded with sixteen rounds of 12-gauge buckshot and slugs, a sheriff's office press release said. The shotgun was unloaded.
He reportedly told deputies, "I am on the way to the courthouse to make a point that law enforcement can not protect kids, and I am going to protect the kids."
Knight said he didn't know where the man was coming from, or how long he had been walking.
Cutten Elementary School District Superintendent Julie Osborne said a student at her school reported seeing the man walk by. The school secretary called 911, and before the campus could go on lockdown, deputies had detained the man, she said.
"It happened so fast," Osborne said. "The community probably heard about this before I did."
She said there were no students outside when the man walked past. The student that reported the incident was inside a school bus that had just arrived from Ridgewood Elementary, the other campus in the district, Osborne said.
Osborne said her school's lockdown procedures are up-to-date. "Parents are informed, and teachers know them," she said.
All schools are in a heightened state of alert in light of recent events, Osborne said.
"Our school's first priority, no matter the climate, is to keep students safe," she said.
Osborne said the school sent a letter home with students, informing their parents what happened. The district has recently considered adding an emergency alert system that would use automated calls and text messages, she said.
"One thing we have in this community is eyes on our schools," she said. "We know people on campus. And if we don't know who they are, we find out immediately."
Mark McKenna, the parent of a third grade girl and sixth grade boy at Cutten Elementary, said he had been following news reports of the incident throughout the day, but had not been notified by the school. He said that was OK with him, considering the situation was "over before it really started."
"If (the man) had cruised through the playground, I would've expected to be notified," he said.
Knight said the man has never been arrested before, and was not a person known to law enforcement. As of Friday afternoon, Knight said "there was no indication (the shotgun) was stolen, or unlawful to possess." He did not know if the man had been released following his mental health evaluation.
"We're just grateful the public called in and notified us," Knight said.

They are named for the sound of their call. Common crows are found in North America and Eurasia. They eat grain, berries, insects, carrion, and the eggs of other birds. Crows may damage grain crops, but they also eat many economically harmful insects. At times tens of thousands roost together, but most species do not nest in colonies. Crows are considered the most intelligent of all birds (tool use is documented), and pet crows can be taught to imitate speech.

That was so fucking hot ... I'm so sexually tense that was hot!!!hi ,just new to this forum and been reading around a few of the threads.This one stuck in my mind so i thought i might convey my experience as i have never discussed it (and probably never will) with anyone directly in my life.
At about age 9 or 10,im not exactly sure i had several experiences with my father,i must say from the start that i think it occured primarily because i encouraged him,perhaps in an unknowing ,naive way but never the less it was me who i guess primarily out of curiosity made myself available to him.
As i remember it began when i was taking a shower and he came into the bathroom,we were talking thru the shower curtain and i stuck my head out from behind the curtain to continue talking to him.I guess my penis must have been pressed up against the curtain also because as he left the bathroom my dad grabbed it thru the curtain and commented on how my "prawn" was getting bigger.It was over in seconds and i think quite unintentional on his part,it was more about how i reacted.This seemingly innocent jesture sent what felt like a bolt of lightning thru my body that felt wonderful to me which i guess now was the beginning of my sexual awakening.From that point on i lived for him to do it again to me, so much so that i would wait until my mum and sisters were out and it was just him & i at home before i would hit the shower praying he would come into the bathroom.I recall being dissapointed several times that he didnt come in, and when he did i would make sure i pressed myself up against the shower curtain hoping he would grab me again.
Eventually it did happen again, im not sure how long it took,but i guess from his point of view it would have been obvious what i was wanting so god knows what was going thru his head. Anyway when he grabbed me thru the curtain again i was in heaven,and this time he didnt let go for a long while and when he did before i could be too disappointed the curtain drew back and he stepped into the shower with me .I think this was the first time i had seen my father upclose and naked and i was totally in awe of his penis, i recall that initially i just played with his cock which was at my eye level, the water from the shower blocking my eyes.Then i remember him taking my cock in his mouth which was the most wonderous sensation at the time,then as he stood up again i tried it on him in return as he fondled my cock.I think that he came but as most of it was washed away with the shower water i remember realising that something unusual had happened but not sure what.
Then as quickly as it began it was over,i think i had a genuine crush on my dad there for a while, we had a few other similar experiences but again i was dissapointed many times when he didnt even come in when i was showering.
We did have a few different experiences mstly after showering when we were home alone but only 3 or 4 that i remember.
i think i must have got over my initial infatuation and stopped persuing him and he never forced me to do anything so it stopped quite naturally, i guess it went on over about 6 months and i would guess my dad hopes that i dont remember any of it, i would never remind him anyway there is no reason to nowadays.
i dont think my dad was a paedophile ,i dont really see it as natural. i just see it as the beginning of my sexuality.so can any 1 else relate to my experience??

Source Code for Two Rails Apps
It's been our experience that developers don't want the practice code in the workbook to be exactly like the example code we write in the videos. So instead, in the workbook exercises you'll build a different, yet similar, Rails app to the one we build in the videos. That not only makes it more fun for you, it also engages your brain more by applying what you learned in a slightly different context. As an added bonus, at the end of the course you can draw from the code of two full-featured Rails apps! -
Cheat Sheets
Rails uses a variety of conventions and shortcuts to make a developer's life a bit sweeter and speed up development time. But when you're learning Rails, it's easy to get lost in all the twists and turns. So for easy reference, we provide a set of PDF cheat sheets for commonly used conventions, commands, and shortcuts. -

"This Rails course is fabulous! I took a few other courses, but still felt really confused. I learned a lot, feel more comfortable with Rails, and really understand how controllers, models, and routes depend on each other. The explanations along with the illustrations were really fantastic. This is my favorite Rails course." — Dana Nourie
Who's It For?
New Rails Programmers who want to learn or become more confident with Rails. This course is a good fit for you if you are:
Getting started with Rails
Perhaps you've been intrigued by Rails, but haven't yet had the opportunity to learn it comprehensively from scratch. It all starts here! You'll learn the fundamentals of developing web apps with Rails so you're ready to create your first Rails app or jump right into an existing app. No prior experience with Rails is assumed.If you're new to the Ruby programming language or new to object-oriented programming in general, we strongly recommend taking our online Ruby Programming course prior to this course.
Struggling to put all the pieces of Rails together
Rails is a structured framework that relies on conventions to optimize development time and minimize the amount of code you have to write. This makes developing web apps a bit easier… once you understand how everything fits together. Through live coding, animated visuals, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to build a complete web app so you're more confident (and less frustrated) writing your own Rails code. -
Curious about how to develop Rails apps using a test-first approach
This course starts by introducing the basics of every Rails app: models, views, controllers, and routes. With that foundation in place, we then build the app using a test-first development approach with RSpec and Capybara. If your goal is to write high-quality Rails apps that you can change with confidence (and we think that's a very worthy and achievable goal!), then learning good testing techniques is key. You'll learn how to incrementally build a Rails app start-to-finish the test-first way. -
In need of a refresh or a reload!
If you started learning Rails a while back but haven't used it in earnest, this course will help you quickly get back up to speed with the latest version of Rails and current development techniques!
"The course helped me fully understand how everything fits together within the MVC framework and gave me enough confidence to refactor existing apps and/or create new ones." — Ronald Rivera
What Will I Learn?
How to create high-quality Rails apps from scratch. This course takes a very practical, step-by-step approach, teaching you how to design and incrementally build a complete database-driven web app using Rails 4. Topics include:
Rails Programming Environment
Setting up your working environment and learning how to use it effectively
is the first step toward becoming a productive Rails developer. We'll show
you how to:
- Install Ruby on Rails on your favorite operating system
- Edit Rails code using the Sublime Text editor
- Use the Rails console and supporting command-line tools effectively
- Search Rails documentation
- Use external RubyGems in your application
- Troubleshoot problems and understand common error messages
The router is the central dispatch of your application. It receives incoming
requests (URLs) and, depending on a set of rules, dispatches the requests to
an appropriate controller action. You'll learn how to:
- Define routes that recognize incoming URLs
- Use named route methods to generate URLs based on the routing scheme
- Apply and understand the RESTful routing conventions
- Design apps to take advantage of the REST conventions in Rails
Views and Controllers
Rails has some strong opinions about how web apps should be designed. You've
probably heard about the MVC design in the abstract, but we'll break it down
in practice so you understand where to put your code and the benefits of a
decoupled design. You'll learn how to:
- Write controller actions to handle incoming requests and render views (or redirect to other actions)
- Design clean and flexible HTML 5 views using layouts, partials, and helpers
- Write custom view helpers to encapsulate presentation logic
- Remove duplication using before actions
Models and Database Design
Well-designed models are the foundation of any good Rails app. In the
simplest form, a model is a Ruby class that encapsulates your application's
business logic. But a model also often represents an entity stored in your
database. Active Record is the object-relational mapping library that Rails
uses to connect your business objects (models) to your database tables.
You'll learn how to:
- Manage your database schema with migrations
- Use models to create, read (query), update, and delete records in your database
- Use validations to enforce data integrity
- Design models for better reuse and testability
Test-First Development Using RSpec and Capybara
Both the Ruby and Rails communities place a high value on testing, and it's
for good reason. Writing effective tests allows you to make changes and add new
features with confidence. As a result, you're a more productive Rails
developer. Throughout the course, you'll learn how to:
- Use a test-first development approach to confidently add new features
- Write and run high-level feature specs using RSpec 2 and Capybara
- Test lower-level business logic by writing model specs using RSpec
- Refactor your application code, safely!
Want to accept user input and store it in a database? Rails
has a whole bunch of conventions to help you create robust and friendly
forms. We'll unveil the "magic" and show you how to:
- Design a form for creating and editing data
- Validate form data and provide actionable feedback to the user
- Store submitted form data in a database and dynamically display the data
- Avoid common security pitfalls
CSS and Sass Basics
As a web developer, it's important to understand the basics of web design
whether you aim to do it all yourself or plan to work hand-in-hand with
a web designer. You'll learn how to:
- Decouple your presentation (style) from the content using CSS stylesheets
- Keep your stylesheets tidy and flexible using Sass extensions including variables, nested rules, and functions
- Effectively use what Rails calls the asset pipeline
Model Relationships
One of the most powerful features of Rails is the ability to create
relationships between different models and represent those relationships in a
database. For example, if you're developing a movie review app then you'll
need to associate each review with a particular movie. To do that properly,
it's important to not only understand the Rails conventions but also what
goes on behind the scenes. You'll learn how to:
- Design a one-to-many relationship in the database using foreign keys
- Declare associations in the models and use them to create associated records and navigate across the one-to-many relationship
- Use nested resources to design a user interface for a one-to-many relationship
- Encapsulate business logic that emerges once you have rich associations between models
Putting your Rails app into production shouldn't cause fear and trembling.
Deploying Rails apps has gotten a lot easier over the years thanks in large
part to cloud services such as Heroku. We'll show you how to deploy
your Rails app for the first time, and incrementally push out updates. You'll learn how to:
- Set up a (free) Heroku account
- Put your application code in a Git repository
- Deploy your app to your Heroku account
- Run remote Heroku commands such as to migrate your production database
- Upload image files and store them on Amazon S3
- Roll out updates to your app with ease!
Rails Best Practices
Standing up a Rails app that just works isn't the same as designing a
good Rails app. Mastering Rails—writing compact, readable,
and flexible code—starts by learning the conventions, practices, and
idioms fostered by the Rails community. So, in addition to learning the ins
and outs Rails, we'll take you a step further. You'll learn:
- An iterative (agile) development style that easily adapts to changing requirements
- Design techniques for removing duplication, encapsulating business logic, and properly aligning responsibilities
- And a bunch of practical tips and tricks used by the pros to get the most out of Rails!
"Where this course really wins over others is that, on completion, I had more than just a 'rote knowledge' of the Rails framework. I had enough understanding to go out and develop my own app from scratch, and be proud of the result!" — Brian Wherry
What Do I Need?
A Computer and a 'Net Connection. Yes, it really is that easy to take this course. No airline tickets, hotel reservations, or scheduling conflicts. Instead, you'll simply need your favorite coffee mug, comfy slippers, and the following additional necessities of any good programmer:
Mac, Windows, or Linux Computer
Rails runs great in all these environments, so any computer you're comfortable using will do. We'll help you get everything installed on your system so you'll learn in the same environment where you'll actually write your own Rails apps. -
Up-to-date Web Browser
We designed the online experience to take advantage of some of the latest web standards, so you'll need the latest version of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or IE 8 (or higher). -
Internet Connection
The videos in this course can be watched either in your browser (in which case you'll need a reasonably fast 'net connection) or you can download them to your computer and watch them offline. The workbook and exercises are only available online.

"I would like to personally commend investigator Melvin Sparks for his dogged determination in solving this case," said Cleveland Police Chief Buster Bingham.
Lamarcus Matthews, 31, Monek Jones, 32, and Devonna Hutton, 27, were charged with strong armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping.
On Aug. 18 one of the females called the CPD claiming that a person had attempted to rape her and she fought them off by hitting them over the head with a lamp.
Around the same time, Bolivar Medical Center reported a male subject had come to the ER and had been beaten severely over the head.
After an investigation the CPD determined that the female subject and two other accomplices allegedly beat and robbed the male victim and was attempting to cover up their crime by making a false accusation against the male victim.
"I would also like to thank the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department and the US Marshalls in aiding us with apprehending these subjects," said Bingham.
The three have been arrested, charged, and are being held at the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility awaiting their initial court appearance.

These were easy and delicious. They are a great dish for entertaining, too. They look very elegant and perfect to make ahead. I'm going to add something more for flavour next time - this is an easy recipe to adapt to your tastes. It's a dry dish and the sauce was essential. Maybe if I increase the veggies in it it will be more moist.
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
116 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
I would give the Salmon Cakes five stars...used parsley flakes rather than fresh. would make this again.
My husband and I really enjoyed the salmon cakes. We live in Southern California so we had leftover grilled salmon (we grill all year). I cut back to one cup of bread crumbs since I noticed that was a common thread in reviews. I also added a jalapeno pepper that was diced into very small pieces. When I mixed all the ingredients, the mixture would not hold together so I added an extra egg and it was the perfect texture.
This is a great light dinner. I have to make a substitution because I've never been able to find a 7 ounce can of salmon in our area. I use 2 - 5 ounce cans and less bread crumbs. I also use the whole egg instead of just the egg white.
Recipes looks good so it's on my "to try" list.
Handy tip for fresh breadcrumbs - freeze left over rolls and when breadcrumbs are needed, just grate from frozen. Works like a dream.
