Republicans outline agenda for legislative session
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and other Republican leaders want the General Assembly to cut government spending and foster economic development during the legislative session that begins Wednesday. At a press conference Tuesday, GOP officials outlined seven issues for the 2011 General Assembly. They dubbed their agenda "smaller government, stronger economy." "This is a positive, forward-looking agenda that recognizes the need for a smaller, smarter state government but also commits to job-creating efforts in the areas of transportation, economic development and higher education," McDonnell said. The Republicans said their joint agenda calls for: • Fiscal responsibility and restructuring, including spending cuts, a hiring freeze and changes in the Virginia Retirement System • Job creation and economic development • Higher education reforms and reinvestment • More funding for transportation • Protection of private property rights • Passage of a constitutional "repeal amendment" allowing states to federal laws for policy reasons • Protection of Virginia's right-to-work law by mandating that union elections be conducted by secret ballot While all those points are important, McDonnell said he believes the economy is "the first and foremost issue facing Virginia with 285,000 Virginians unemployed." Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling said the GOP's economic initiatives would help attract jobs to Virginia and support employers in bio-sciences, energy technology and communications. He called for legislation to provide $54 million in grants and incentives for job creation. Bolling also wants the General Assembly to approve a $25 million program to help small technology companies in Virginia. Another focus is renewable energy. Bolling said the Republicans' proposed Clean Energy Manufacturing Incentive Grant program would give financial assistance to companies that supply renewable and nuclear energy. "It's an important part of our overall effort to achieve the goal of making Virginia the East Coast's energy leader," Bolling said. McDonnell plans on continuing state budget cuts with permanent hiring freezes to save about $25 million. He said he wants to reduce funding for areas that are not government priorities, such as public broadcasting. The governor also proposed eliminating and reducing various vacant state positions, boards and commissions. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli addressed private property rights of individuals. He said governmental entities should have to meet strict requirements before seizing a person's property. House Speaker William Howell of Fredericksburg touted the proposed "repeal amendment" to the U.S. Constitution. It would allow states to overturn a federal law by a two-thirds vote. "It would have the important effect of deterring further expansion of federal power at the expense of the sovereignty of the people and of the several states. This resolution is timely, practical and non-partisan," Howell said. Sen. Thomas Norment, R-Williamsburg, laid out the Republicans' plans for higher education reform. Norment, the Senate Republican leader, called for accessibility and affordability to ensure that Virginia students have access to top-tier universities without having to worry about financial restrictions. The General Assembly convenes at noon Wednesday for a 46-day session. On Wednesday night, McDonnell will deliver his State of the Commonwealth Address to a joint meeting of the House and Senate. In the speech, McDonnell said he plans to discuss Medicaid reform, energy policy, education and other issues. |

Bioengineering (BE)
Research Expertise: Cellular Engineering | Neuroengineering (molecular ) | Neurobiology
Dave's research focuses on understanding the mechanical cues that regulate injury, repair, and growth in cells and tissues of the central nervous system. The process of mechanotransduction is critical in understanding the response of cells and tissues of the central nervous system (CNS) to traumatic injury. In this research area, experimental work is combined with mathematical modeling to provide a method to quantify the effect of physical forces on cell and tissue function. For example, some of the research combines finite element models of the brain with experimental work to estimate the tissue mechanical stress/strain associated with biological markers of injury. These models provide a starting point to relate traditional measures of stress to the microstructural constituents of the tissue. Structural models are being developed to link global mechanical deformations and the resulting deformation of cellular/subcellular microstructures in the CNS white matter. With the kinematic transformations between the macroscopic deformations and cellular components of the CNS white matter now better established, the research has expanded to determine the mechanism(s) by which a mechanical signal is converted into a biochemical signaling cascade for organotypic tissue, cultured neurons, and cultured axons. Clinical applications of his work include developing new testing standards to improve the safety of headgear and automotive restraint systems, and testing new techniques for repairing damaged tissues in the brain after injury.

Buena Vista is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, United States. It is located south of Little Haiti, north of the Miami Design District.[1][2]
Buena Vista is primarily a residential neighborhood with historic single-family homes primarily from the 1920s. The Buena Vista East Historic District is located in Buena Vista, and includes some of the oldest homes in the neighborhood.
In the 1890s, Buena Vista was a small village whose founding and growth paralleled Miami's. During the Land Boom of the 1920s, the area was developed as the Biltmore and Shadowlawn subdivisions. Originally home to many Florida cracker immigrants from Georgia and North Carolina, the neighborhood soon became popular with the owners of nearby businesses. The houses reflect their original owners' rising social status and include fine examples of Mediterranean Revival, Mission, Craftsman, and Art Deco architecture style residences.[3]
Buena Vista, Lemon City, and Little River were founded before the turn of the 19th-century and represent some of the earliest settlements in Miami-Dade County. The area known as Buena Vista was once a small village adjoining, but not within the corporate limits of Miami proper. Although preceded in age by pioneer Lemon City, a town located a little further north, the small village of Buena Vista dates its birth, development, and growth along with Miami's. The founding of Buena Vista dates back to the days when the immense rock ridge extending between the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Everglades was covered by a dense pine forest. The earliest history of the village is recorded in a survey made by government surveyors, and the locations of ht eland tracts are to this date still founded on this early document.
The land which became Buena Vista was originally part of the homesteads of William Henry Gleason and E.L. White. Gleason, a prominent and somewhat notorious figure in early Miami-Dade County politics, arrived in Miami after the Civil War was elected Lieutenant Governor of Florida. He left the area in 1876 but retained his homestead for several years, eventually turning it over to his son. As early as 1892, E.L. White homesteaded the area from North 41st Street to 54th Street between West 2nd Avenue and East 2nd Avenue. This was the area from which the Biltmore and Shadowlawn Subdivisions, which today make up the "Buena Vista East Historic District", were carved in the early 1920s.
The arrival of the railroad in 1896 marked the end of an era for the pioneer bayfront village of Lemon City, which had enjoyed tremendous importance to the Miami area by virtue of its docks. Now the train brought much needed supplies to the rest of Dade County, and lured people away from the bayfront community to Miami and its outlying areas. The Lemon City depot, built in 1896, drew business further west away from the bay, and the small village of Buena Vista gradually developed. One of the earliest subdivisions in the Buena Vista areas was the Buena Vista Biscayne Badger Club Subdivision, which was developed in 1910 as a bayfront community with a private water plant, streets, and a park with recreation dock on the bay. However, it was inland where the village took shape. By 1910, suburban Buena Vista could boast of one hotel known as the Courley House, its very own railroad depot on the Florida East Coast Railway line, a small post office building, tropical fruit groves, a fruit-packing house, a grocery store, and one religious institution, the Holy Cross Episcopal Church.
Other prominent citizens acquired land in Buena Vista. Among them was the millionaire, Charles Deering, who purchased a large tract of bayfront land east of the railroad, in the area now known as the Upper Eastside. This land is where the "Baypoint" neighborhood is now located. Much of the area fronting the bay was naturally wooded, and here Deering created an arboretum and sanctuary for birds and animals. There were no public roadways in the area east of the railroad, and since Deering strongly opposed the opening of such streets, the area was preserved in its pristine, virgin state for many years.
As the population of Miami grew between the late 1910s through the Boom era of the early 1920s, new areas reached northward along the old Dixie Highway (N.E. 2nd Avenue) and Avenue D (N. Miami Avenue), which was extended northward from N.E. 36th Street. The northern city limit of Miami was moved to N.E. 38th Street, and this took in a part of Buena Vista. Finally, on August 4, 1924, the new town of Buena Vista was incorporated and, together with the other incorporated areas of Coconut Grove and Silver Bluff, was annexed to the City of Miami the following year.[4]
It is located at 25°48′47″N 80°11′31″W / 25.813°N 80.192°W, with an elevation 13 feet (4.0 m), making it one of the higher areas in the city.[5] It is bounded by NW 54th Street to the north, I-195 to the south, I-95 to the west, and Biscayne Boulevard to the east.[6]
Buena Vista East Historic District[edit]
The Buena Vista East Historic District is located on the eastern side of Buena Vista, and is bound between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue from NE 42nd Street to NE 48th Street.[7]
As of 2000, the population of Buena Vista was 11,290 people. The zip codes for Buena Vista include 33127 and 33137. The area covers 1.265 square miles (3.28 km2). As of 2000, there were 5,396 males and 5,894 females. The median age for males were 31.5 years old, while the median age for females were 36.9 years old. The average household size had 3.2 people, while the average family size had 3.8 members. The percentage of married-couple families (among all households) was 31.3%, while the percentage of married-couple families with children (among all households) was 14.7%, and the percentage of single-mother households (among all households) was 20.7%. The percentage of never-married males 15 years old and over was 19.4%, while the percentage of never-married females 15 years old and over was 18.5%.[6]
As of 2000, the percentage of people that speak English not well or not at all made up 13.5% of the population. The percentage of residents born in Florida was 41.5%, the percentage of people born in another U.S. state was 16.8%, and the percentage of native residents but born outside the U.S. was 4.3%, while the percentage of foreign born residents was 37.4%.[6]

The most complete collection of drivers for your computer! |
About Sciologness.comThe amount of computer-assisted devices which facilitate our everyday life grows at an exponential rate. Some of those items are individual standalone computing machines, however the majority cannot survive independently. Hence, they are usually connected to the lead engine (PC, laptop, workstation, server, etc.) that maintains their functionality. Needless to say but the interconnection between two or more devices does not emerge from anywhere; this communication emerges due to drivers – dedicated programs which tell hardware how to run on a particular OS. Let's take a case example. When you connect a new mouse to your desktop PC, the latter is not able to recognize new equipment only by hardware means. Quite the contrary, it requires special software that would introduce the 'strangers' to each other. On such conditions alone, the mouse will function properly, helping a user in completing multiple computing tasks. It should be mentioned that under most circumstances all new devices, whether we speak about inbuilt components (controllers, adapters, nodes, interfaces), external PC peripherals, digital gadgets or home electronic appliances, initially come with dedicated software. If it doesn't comply with the current lead engine platform, it's highly recommended to download drivers from the web. If you still think that those utilities are appropriate only for computing items, think twice. Nowadays every other electronics gadget might be operated via your local PC. Thanks to an efficient communication with a computer one is free to revel in online movies on wide-screen TVs/monitors, photos and videos from digital cameras, unlimited amount of information from data storages (external or internal HDDs/SSDs/NAS/DAS/flash drives), contact info, SMS, messenger chats from smartphones or cellular phones, HD Audio music on players and iPods, tasks, tables and notes from PDAs, as well as an unprecedented gaming experience on various consoles. To continue, drivers help in increasing overall PC (or other machine) performance. For instance, when you acquire a cutting-edge CPU and a new high-end GPU, they won't provide as much computing and graphics power without special software. Wanna get to an upper level with your desktop/laptop? Just download fresh software updates in order to have access to a variety of settings, like clock frequency adjustment, voltage and power regulations, etc. Our inventory boasts thousands of drivers for nearly any existing device! We selected only the best updates to ensure that your system hit records in performance, efficiency, responsiveness, and reliability. Have a go with our user-friendly search options to start running your new gadgets in a heartbeat! Types of DevicesFor your convenience, we have categorized all available drivers and created a user-friendly directory that dramatically facilitates the search for the needful drivers, according to the device type. In order to realize the search for the needful driver, select a particular device type out of the items listed below:
Drivers for Laptops & DesktopsOftentimes we receive references from users who know little about their PCs' hardware configuration and are not sure which driver to install with the aim to guarantee a correct system operation. Specifically for such cases we have created a separate section, dedicated to desktop and laptop PCs drivers. The list provided below contains all basic laptop vendors, known primarily due to the manufacture of globally recognized devices.
This is the place for you to not only find drivers for all components of your laptop but also to browse a comprehensive list of hardware items to be installed on this or that model. With our service, finding the needful driver is as easy as a walk in the park: just select a vendor, your laptop model, and the needful device (CPU, motherboard, graphics adapter or other accompanying items) – here you are with a list of drivers to download for the needful model! |

Saturdays at 7:00 pm on RADIO IQ.
Martha Barnette, Grant Barrett
A Way With Words is a weekly, hour-long, national, caller-based program about language. Author Martha Barnette and lexicographer Grant Barrett take calls about slang, grammar, linguistic heirlooms, old sayings, word origins, regional dialects, family expressions, and speaking and writing well.
By looking at the world through the lens of language, A Way With Words offers a brand-new perspective on politics, pop culture, history, sports, music, science, literature, and foreign cultures.
Funny, informative, and fast-paced, each hour-long episode includes a word puzzle and slang quiz.

Saturday, January 17, 2015 11:52amSure, it's scary to send your writing to a literary agent. But pity the poor agent who must wade through hundreds of terrible query letters a week! One of them shares excerpts from those hilariously bad query letters on a blog called SlushPile Hell. And get ready for some colorful conversation: Purple cows do exist–only [...]
Saturday, January 10, 2015 11:36amYou pick up what you think a glass of water and take a sip, but it turns out to be Sprite. What's the word for that sensation when you're expecting one thing and taste something else? Also, slang from college campuses, like ratchet and dime piece. And the story of a writer who published her [...]
Saturday, January 3, 2015 11:34amWhy call it a doggy bag when it's really for your husband? Grant and Martha talk about the language of leftovers and why we eat beef and not cow. And how old is the typical public-library patron? Plus, in Afghanistan, proverbs are part of everyday conversation — like the one about how every proud porcupine [...]
Saturday, December 27, 2014 1:25pmYou walk into a used bookstore, or pull down an old volume at the library, and there it is: The smell of old books. If you detect notes of vanilla in that intoxicating scent, there's a reason. Also, why some people think the word awesome is overused, why Comic Sans is a font almost universally [...]

Happy to introduce our newest addition to the lineup of growing alphabet posters: The Traveler's Alphabet.
View full article →In all the shuffle this year we dropped a few balls and one of those dropped balls was we didn't coordinate a new calendar. Bummer. To make up for this egregious error, we worked up 2015 version of the 3 previous years calendars. The other great news is they are all available in a bunch of different big-ass sizes! We have 16x24, 18x27, and 24x36 sizes available. Check out the Monsters, Junk Food, or Robot Calendars in all their glory!
Happy Halloween! After the temporary hiatus and the cathartic Real Talk blog post, we are excited to be back in action making things and spreading general trivia knowledge to the masses. Although this poster has internally been a long time in the making, we are very excited to celebrate such a spooky season by festively introducing the next installment of the Alphabet Poster series: Mythical Creatures.
We teamed up with friend, illustrator and collaborator Scotty Reifsnyder for this bad boy and it is one of our favorite releases of all time. We have been a long time fan of Scotty's work and it was such a pleasure getting to be a part of and see such an amazing project come to life over the last few months. You can check out more from him on his Dribbble, Twitter, or Website. Amazing stuff over there.
To help us bring in this momentous occasion, our friends over at our favorite ink slinging shop, Mama's Sauce, decided to channel their inner mysticalness and dress up as some of the lineup for Halloween!
It wasn't all just fun and games for this here poster. Around 2 years ago, when Scotty and I started ideating around this idea, we had a ton of fun directions to go in. As you can see in the sketch below, early in the process of making this poster, we toyed around with the idea of putting these characters into picture frames. This idea was meant to be a little reminiscent of a Harry Potter picture frame wall that showcased snapshots of these elusive creatures nobody has ever seen in real life.
Sadly, we had to ditch the frame idea because it became pretty apparent that the design might become a little too busy for a poster with 26 illustrations and captions. We didn't want the monsters to get lost in the frames, so Scotty decided to tackle the creatures in a more straightforward fashion.
Regardless, the illustrations came out amazing and every character has their own little personality and quirk. The Imp is one of my personal favorites. He is a mischievous little creature and Scotty has him stealing money from a poor New Jersey resident's wallet.
Writing fun facts for this poster proved to be quite an adventure. This is for multiple reasons but the biggest one is that the characters in this poster don't actually exist (or do they...), so finding legitimate facts about fictitious material is pretty touchy. We did our best to not step on our own toes, but this is all folklore so we like to think that popular opinion rules.
For instance, fairies are magical, humanoid beings who are known for their mischievous and sometimes malicious nature. They will often use their words to confuse and mislead but they can be outwitted for it is said a fairy is incapable of telling a lie.
Or since it is Halloween, you should probably be on the lookout for the Headless Horseman. Of the many tales describing the headless horseman, none are quite as grim and disturbing as the Irish dullahan, or "dark man." Galloping through the night and wielding a whip made of a human spine, the dark man claims his victim's life by simply stopping to call out their name. I suppose you can't really defend against that. Bottom line, if you see a guy on a horse at any time, run.
The 55 Hi's shop is proud to announce a number of new changes! One of the first exciting moves we are making is we are now offering new sizes and color variations through our newest non-human team member: Shakakana (Shak for short).
Shak is an Epson 7890 Fine Art Giclée printer that will allow us to start offering posters in different sizes and colors to give everyone a little more variation in old and new releases from 55 Hi's.
We have received a lot of requests over the years for prints and designs that people love but haven't been the right color or size for their room. We have always wanted to accommodate these requests but the largest problem has always been cost and minimum quantities for screenprinting new designs.
Typically when you screenprint something, you pick one size and one color to print because you need to reach a large quantity of any one design to make it worth your while for setup, ink mixing and screen preparation. This has always proved hard for us, because we wanted to offer more things more often, but every new design triples or quadruples our upfront cost if we try to offer more than one variation. That's why in the past, we have resolved to offering one size in one color for all our releases.
After some careful consideration, we decided the best course of action was to move forward offering both printing methods. The Giclée printer will give us the opportunity to offer new designs, more often and at a better price while still retaining a fine art museum quality print. Screenprinting will be a great avenue to continue utilizing specialty printing methods while still retaining our Limited Edition runs of special designs.
So, if you have some time, take a look around at all the new variations and fun color alternatives we now offer. There is so many more things in the pipeline now that we have Shak. We can't wait to share.
That's a little harsh, but I'm sticking to it.
Now let me preface this generally pessimistic blog post by noting, I realize I am complaining about a free service I am in no way obligated to use. This blog post is coming more from a disappointment standpoint about something that was great and is now ruined and why we won't be tending to the Facebook community any more.
Also, I think this topic has been covered to death by many but I feel it's worth spreading shitty business practice just for the principle. Or, at least what I would consider shitty business practice. I'm not going to say it's extortion, but it feels a little extortion-esque to me. If you want to hear a really great, well researched version of this argument check out this video.
4 years ago when we started 55 Hi's, Facebook was amazing. It was a great, interactive tool to get feedback on releases and show people what we were working on. People who elected to like our page (which you can unlike at any time and stop receiving our updates) would have the opportunity to see our updates. If the post was successful and people liked it, the content would spread to their friends or have the opportunity to gain a little traction for being a popular item.
Now, the 55 Hi's Facebook page has around 5,600 likes and a typical post will reach around 80 people. A successful post that is liked, commented, or shared will typically reach around 150 people. This means that our content is reaching on average less than 2% of the audience that has already elected to receive updates from us by liking the page. Essentially, even if you like the page, you won't get our content anyway so the whole process is really pretty trivial.
We will posting most of our updates via Instagram, Dribbble and the Newsletter. It's such a sad thought to think Facebook bought Instagram and will likely follow suit soon with restricting content unless you pay them. Nevertheless, it's the best avenue to spread our content now without being a disruptive marketer. If you want to join our very non-spammy newsletter, you can do that here as well. We typically email around once a month.
Also, here's a picture of the Facebook board members as they read my post.
Had a lot of fun over the weekend painting a batch of these Smooth Operator mugs. This design is actually a remix from a prior design we did for one of our whiskey tumblers. It started as just simply "Smooth" but that's a little too Michael Jackson and not enough Sade so we decided to revisit it.
You can pick one up right here. We have 12 in stock at the moment and depending on how they are received, we may not make them again!
TL;DR - We're making shit again, and more of it. Sorry for the radio silence.
I thought it best, after a fairly long time of silence at the 55 Hi's camp, (and even longer since we've released anything but alphabet posters) to give a little peek behind the 55 Hi's curtain as to what I've been doing the last year or so.
Now, to start this blog post of truth off I feel it necessary (after 5 years of being fairly vague) to give a little context for the start of 55 Hi's and the state of how I got to where I am now.
My name is Ross (you probably knew that). I'm the sole owner, original screen printer, designer, and general maker since starting 55 Hi's in 2009. I think in the past, when people first encountered 55 Hi's, they assumed it was a team of full time people cranking out prints and assembling stuff in a studio.
I intentionally gave off this vibe for a long time, cause I liked the idea of starting something larger than myself and also because I wanted to project a professional brand appearance and not what it really was (one dude hand printing posters out of a 3rd story walkup in Wilton, CT. and then walking to Fed Ex to cut them).
Since the beginning, I have had (and still do) a full time job on top of 55 Hi's. I do this for multiple reasons but the biggest one is that I like the ability to take chances and not rely on 55 Hi's as my single source of income. It lets me take make things that I like (but may very well flop) without so much pressure and also allows the whole process of running 55 Hi's to be much more enjoyable.
I have had a long standing fear that if 55 Hi's were to become my main area of income, it would ruin the fun of it and it would become a job (which I already have). I can't say it will always be this way, I'm just saying for my position right now, I enjoy the freedom that comes from not depending on this brand to eat and go to the doctor.
Now since starting 55 Hi's, over the past few years, I have let the standing success of the brand I had in the beginning (stylized typographic posters) dictate where it heads. I started 55 Hi's making quote posters because I have always enjoyed witty sayings growing up. It was a natural progression to just try to make them look good.
After a few years of this, and the whole quote trend becoming generally saturated in the design community, I started to feel like a Marshall's sign department. Even though I was feeling this way, I also felt like I couldn't stop because it was what people had come to know 55 Hi's for.
Now, I have nothing against Marshall's, or their sign department. In fact I just got some really great shoes from there at one hell of a bargain. It's just not what I had envisioned when starting 55 Hi's. To be honest, I didn't even have a vision. I just wanted to make what I wanted. I figured, if I was going to have a job, I wanted to spend my own time making things that made me smile.
After feeling a little down, and a lot like a broken record of quote posters, I started to ideate around different products. I certainly have never had a shortage of ideas for new products, and since 55 Hi's was feeling a little formulaic, I started to explore different avenues. The only problem was, all these ideas didn't feel like they fit in with the strict limited edition, vintage-typographic, screen printed paper motif 55 Hi's had become. I was really worried it would feel like it was coming out of left field, and the last thing I wanted to do was disrupt the brand and success it had seen up to this point.
To combat this, I thought I would just start under new brand names. One of those avenues became Madison Glass Co. Another of those avenues became a handmade soy candle company called Wood & Penny. Another became a Button company called Really Bad Pins. Another idea became a hand made leather mousepad company called Rafter Supply Co. Then another idea I had became a tips and tricks blog for Shopify store owners. Lastly I had an idea for a dog bandana company that was sadly, never named.
What ended up happening as you can probably tell, is, I started to confuse everyone (and myself). For instance, do I start a new twitter, facebook, and instagram account for all 5 new brands? Do I start from scratch for all of them even though the audience is all generally the same? If I start posting updates and pointing people to 5 different places from my personal social media accounts, will that be confusing? Especially since It's all coming from me anyway!? Which one is the main one?
I kept spreading myself thinner and thinner as the months went on, completely flushing out these product ideas and brands, but then not having the capacity to properly maintain them. After more than a year of this, I became tired. I had worked for a long time, and generated a ton of things that I was tremendously proud of, and yet I felt like I couldn't talk about for fear of confusing everyone. Something had to change and I had no idea what.
After letting the dust settle for a little while, I had a series of conversations with myself asking things like: what do I want? What do I enjoy? What do I want to do with my time? Why did I even start all these projects if they aren't enjoyable? Do I want to be a manufacturer or designer? Printer or glass painter? Do I want to freelance full time or make products full time?
In asking myself all these questions, I discovered that I just like to make new things. It's plain and simple. I just want to be able to make new things whether it be for kids or adults or dogs or ferrets without the fear of fitting into a strictly limited-edition hand screen printed poster brand every time. It's an easy fix really, but one that I had a hard time making because I had traveled down so many separate avenues that I didn't want to abandon.
But once I made the decision to bring everything under one roof, it felt like the whole world had been lifted of my shoulders. I felt like I could talk about what I was working on again and write about my experiences in a candid manner (which I have always strived to do with anything I'm a part of). This blog post is a perfect example of this and is the first positive completely transparent thing I've written in quite some time. It was the first time in 6 months I felt like I could post to my Instagram account without confusing the people who started by following 55 Hi's.
Therefore, moving forward, a few things are going to change, but in the grand scheme of things, nothing that you haven't already seen. Everything I'm working on (besides the candles) will now be under one roof instead of 5 different roofs all pointing at each other.
All my side projects are going to be gradually brought under 55 Hi's and we will start releasing fun new things, more consistently. Some stuff will be extremely limited edition, some stuff won't. It may be the most random product design you've ever seen or it may be cat bibs, but it's going to be new and fun and interesting and that's the point.
Well the not knowing what's coming next thing is a bit of a white lie. I do know that. We teamed up with Scotty Reifsnyder for one of the coolest looking posters and projects I've ever had the opportunity to work on. We're releasing it on Halloween (and rightfully so) cause if you can't tell from the teaser, it's a Mythical Creatures Alphabet Poster.
You can probably also tell I'm starting to refer to 55 Hi's as "we" again. This time it's intentiontal and that's because over the course of the last year or longer, I have teamed up with a long time friend Rick DiStefano for a lot of these new projects I have been working on and telling nobody about.
It's been much more rewarding working with someone, as opposed to on my own all the time and it's something that I want to continue with in this new direction. He's coming on to handle a lot of the manufacturing and product fulfillment and we will be working together to try to make twice as many awesome things as before the short hiatus.
I had the opportunity to help out singer/songwriter Casey Buckley with a new logo for his upcoming marketing materials and brand. It's always fun when I get the opportunity to do little side jobs like this. Plus, it's even better when we can make something cool with it after.
Casey's been writing tunes for the past few years and if you want to check out what he's throwing down, visit his soundcloud right here.
Very honored to be a part of Real Thread's Local Masters podcast this past week. Nathan, the man reppin' the mic over there, and I had a great talk that went all over the place. Thankfully, he edited my ramblings down to a nice digestible portion that focuses on entrepreneurship and doing what you love (but still having health insurance).
Head over and give it a listen! If you get tired of me, there are some other really great convos to check out including Jessica Hische, collaborator Justin Mezzell and others...
ALSO! If you want to be a part of a soft launch currently going on that I'm a part of, head over to the all new Wood & Penny shop.
Wood & Penny is a small-batch fragrance house where we make quality, natural soy candles that inspire change and support the common good. The fragrances are hand-blended in all natural soy wax and packaged in stylish, reusable glass containers. Each candle is hand-poured with care and features vegetable cured cotton wicks.
To see the full rundown on how the candles are made or to get a little more information on the backstory and initiatives we are currently helping, visit the site! Suggestions are always, always very welcome and if you choose to support us, we thank you!
We are back in action with the newest addition to the Alphabet Poster series! Bugs!
Ants, Earwigs, and Butterflies! Brush up on your ABC's with this jam packed poster featuring 26 different creepy crawlers and buzzing bugs from all over teh world. Each letter of the alphabet is paired with a custom illustration from our friend Brad Woodward and accompanied by a fun fact you can use to impress your friends.
For instance, did you know that a Goliath Beetle, when measured in terms of sheer size, bulk, and weight ranks among the largest insects on the planet. They are massive, sturdy creatures that grow to over 4 inches in length and can weigh up to 3.5 ounces. That's huge!
Or that that the Atlas Moth sports the widest wingspan of any moth in the world, with some spanning over 10 inches wide. The tips of their wings also carry an uncanny resemblance to a snake's head, earning them the nickname "snake's head moth.
This is slightly dated news, but none the less exciting! We teamed up with our good friend Lydia Nichols again to present the next addition to our line of Alphabet Posters, the Circus! There is all kinds of fun stuff going on here and this poster has some of the most interesting and peculiar fun facts of any of the poster so far. Two in particular I found really interesting.
Whenever there is a picture taken of an elephant during the show, the position of its trunk is incredibly important—at least to the more superstitious circus goers. Capturing a photo of an elephant with its trunk lifted high in the air is thought to mean good fortune for the run of the show.
Or that today, many acrobats are trained professionally in specialized schools, but in older traditions, these remarkable athletic skills were all in the family. Throughout history, family circuses kept their artistry alive through generations by passing knowledge down from parent to child.
We're also excited to introduce a small teaser from the next upcoming addition the series, Bugs! After two amazing collaborations on Space and Dinosaurs with illustrator extraordinaire Brad Woodard, we couldn't help but team back up for this next one. All kinds of creepy crawlies are coming out. Beatles and Moths and Ants! Can't wait to share....

I thought I liked this scent but wore it all day yesterday and have decided I can't stand it. Too powdery to the point that it grates. Also don't love the bottle - too cutesy without being pretty or interesting. No thanks.

The smell is so elegant and luxurious. A summer and flowery smell.
The packaging is sweet.
It doesn't stay on for long which is too bad.

This is really different than any of my other perfumes, and I have probably at least 50 bottles. I wanted it because it's so fresh and sparkling. I guess it's a floral, but it's not an in your face floral. I think this is fine all year round, but I bet it's great in summer. I can't wait to find out. My husband got this for me on our anniversary. Both are keepers.

It's very light and fresh, lasts only a few hours though. I think it's more casual chic... leaning towards casual side. I usually wear Daisy if I wear jeans to work. It's nice and light, not overwhelming. And I love all Marc Jacob fragrance bottles!!!!
Has been my signature scent and favorite fregrance for 7 years. Hands down absolutely, amazingly, perfect. Will be my favorite forever.

I have already bought this fragrance a few times and it is my signature. It's floral with a maturity added to it. It's light and fresh but not strictly for teenagers, and I can wear it day or night. I can see myself wearing this for another ten years, unless my body chemistry changes drastically. Daisy really smells wonderful on me, but remember the golden rule: Always try a perfume on your skin first before buying, to see if it suits you.

I think this is one of the most universally loved perfumes. If you are looking for a really fresh, floral scent to wear during the day this is perfect. It is a fairly expensive product but the bottle is beautiful and has lasted me a long time.
I LOVE this fragrance. It's light, floral, perfect for warm days and non offensive. It's perfect for teens and women in their 20s. I would imagine this scent being perfect for a fun young lady, looking to make the transition from fruity and playful to floral and chic. It's my signature scent. I have a back up bottle as I'm almost out of my first bottle.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! I got a sample from Sephora, and it was love at first spritz! I knew as soon as I emptied that little sample vial that I would be taking a trip to the mall for more! Marc Jacobs Daisy is like crack to me: highly addictive & I can't get enough of it. I have been wearing this fragrance every day since I first used up that sample, and I can't think of any fragrance that is more "me." Daisy is a pretty, delicate, floral that reminds me of wearing fresh, clean linens on a breezy spring day when all of the new plants are beginning to sprout buds. I just love everything about this fragrance- except for the price. Unfortunately, greed in the beauty industry has just become more and more rampant, and Marc Jacobs products are no exception.

Muslim Day Parade 2014
(Please click to enlarge all photos!)
Well, just when you thought that the annual Muslim Day Parade had gotten boring ... today happened. Apparently not concerned in the least with optics, they put away the black death flag of violent Islamic jihad of previous marches and put together some Muslim Brotherhood street theater the likes of which never before seen.
The official theme of the parade this year was
"Islam & America Share Common Values."
'Egypt' as a woman in a noose.
A 'pharoah' in a golden chariot whipping baton-weilding thugs chanting 'Si-si!', 'Si-si!'
VIDEO: The parade begins with the NYPD Marching Band.
VIDEO: A couple of vocal Christan proselytizers.
VIDEO: And this is where it gets crazy.
(Please click to enlarge all photos!)
There was a 'caged girls' float with images of gore and exploded heads, pro-Morsi signs and reference to the 2013 Rabaa massacre in Egypt.
These girls never broke expression.
It was thoroughly eerie.
Some pro-shariah blood and gore for a Sunday afternoon parade on Madison Avenue.

9/11 Thirteen Years Later: Global Islamic Aggression
(Spotted on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Please click to enlarge.)
They called us 'racists' and 'bigots' for trying to warn them.
Now, there is no disguising the rise of global Islamic aggression and the establishment of a de facto 21st-century 'caliphate' or 'Islamic State.' The sheer volume and depravity of moslem crimes leaves the leftist media unable to spin and cover up the ascent of the worst evil to ever walk the earth and the ocean of blood it spills.
"I studied the Koran a great deal ... I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad."--Alexis de Tocqueville.

This is a discussion on Do you support a businesses right to ban guns(Poll added) within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All of the above...
In my experience most signs are just token gestures the owner offers to their insurance. It isn't a rule per-se the owner wants to enforce, they just don't want to get hammered on liability coverage.
Calling back to my cellphone analogy, most owners probably couldn't give a crap if you carry or not, they just don't want to get caught up in a liability suit, and so since the law doesn't exempt them, they post the sign.
It has less to do with an opinion on guns or property rights, and more to do with liability. Almost everything in business boils down to liability.
The act of walking past a sign is the act of accepting liability for your actions, not an act of disrespect to the owner. If 'made', the owner has to ask me to leave, ot because I'm some disrespectful jerk, but because now that he knows, he is liable if he allows it. If he doesn't know, then he's not liable.
You are kidding right? Several people on this forum are or have been business owners and gun owners and staunch 2A advoates (yes we are) and we think gun buster signs should be allowed because we know from experience and learning that not everyone is responsible with a weapon and we want to be able to have some control of what can be a dangerous device in the hands of an incompetent fool that is allowed on our property.
I can not beleive you actually posted this. So what is your arguement now for no gun signs. "Golly gee mr Supreme COurt Justice, the owner don't really give a hoot".

You are only assuming that the signs are token gestures. That is demonstrably false in Texas. My wife ordered legally enforceable gun banning signs for her business. She ordered them from a custom sign shop and paid five hundred dollars each for them. They ordered them because they do not want firearms in their building.
Walking past the posted wishes of the owner is most definitely an act of disrespect to the owner. It says that you believe their wishes, opinions and rights mean nothing when compared to yours.

In my opinion you are reaching trying to connect open carry to a dress code. Then further it by suggesting that conceal carry circumvents any dress code by the nature of concealment.
Correct. And no business in this country is requiring you to disarm.
However, even though you have no issue keeping your opinions concealed, you still have waived your 1A right. You simply do not have issue with it because you have no intention of violating the owners wishes. The TOU you agreed to are exactly the same as a no gun sign on a business.
Just as a law abiding citizen not carrying a weapon waives their 2A right when they pass a no gun sign to enter a business. You do not need to be exercising a right to waive it. Our rights are inherent, present all the time. Not just when we choose to exercise them.
I think you are grasping. States which restrict concealed carry are violating our 2A rights. Violating the rights of business owners... I'm not connecting those dots. I see where you are coming up with that, I just don't agree.
Compliance would not be walking past the sign. The sign itself is reasonable conveyance to you of the property owners wishes. Why does it take a sign, AND someone telling you your weapon is not welcome, to be in compliance.
When you speed on the highway, you are in non compliance. You have ignored the speed limit sign. Slowing down after you are stopped does not then equal compliance.com·pli·ance
noun \kəm-ˈplī-ən(t)s\
Definition of COMPLIANCE
a : the act or process of complying to a desire, demand, proposal, or regimen or to coercion
b : conformity in fulfilling official requirements
: a disposition to yield to others
: the ability of an object to yield elastically when a force is applied : flexibility
If you get to the point of being asked, you have stepped over the line. In the case of a forum, you know the rules prior to the offense. Walking past a no gun sign is no different. The owners wishes have been reasonably conveyed to you.
Tresspass does not start at the point of being asked to leave. It starts at the point you disregard a notice or wish of the property owner. The sign is the reasonable conveyance of that wish.
noun \ˈtres-pəs, -ˌpas\
Definition of TRESPASS
a : a violation of moral or social ethics : transgression; especially : sin
b : an unwarranted infringement
a : an unlawful act committed on the person, property, or rights of another; especially : a wrongful entry on real property
b : the legal action for injuries resulting from trespasstrans·gres·sion
noun \-ˈgre-shən\
Definition of TRANSGRESSION
: an act, process, or instance of transgressing: as
a : infringement or violation of a law, command, or duty
b : the spread of the sea over land areas and the consequent unconformable deposit of sediments on older rocks
See transgression defined for kids »
Depends on if signs have force of law, depends on the business, why I'm there, and yes what I'm wearing and what gun I have, because my open-carry gun might just blend in with me and no one ever notice.
I'm not going to brake any law, and will calmly leave if asked, but depending on the facts of the situation I might decide to roll the dice and enter with an open-carry gun.
I might get away with it, too, especially if I'm in a Halloween costume.
You asked how walking past a sign might not be an act of disrespect.
Liability, that's how.
There's no disrespect, just as the owner doesn't actually want to ban guns...no-gun signs are a proverbial nod and a wink that you're liable for your self, don't pawn anything off on the business.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

September 05, 2013
This week is Brake Safety Week, one of two enforcement and outreach campaigns dedicated to promoting truck and bus brake safety held by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance each year. The unannounced Brake Check is held each spring and Brake Safety Week each fall.
This year, the fall campaign is scheduled for Sept. 8-14 and will involve inspectors from nearly every CVSA member jurisdiction and inspectors from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. More than 30,000 brake inspections are expected to be conducted during Brake Safety Week.
Inspections conducted during Brake Safety Week consist primarily of brake specific Level IV special study inspections, though some Level I inspections are also conducted. Carriers are encouraged to be involved by helping educate drivers and mechanics about the importance of pre-trip inspections and proper brake maintenance.
Operation Air Brake targets six items for inspection: driver's license, registration, low air warning device, pushrod travel (adjustment), brake linings/drums, leaks/air loss rate, and tractor protection system.

I need to test a random number generator which produces numbers randomly. How to make sure the numbers generated are random.
Here is a detailed explanation of how to start. The preliminary test for any RNG is the Monobit test used by the NIST which simply counts the number of 1s and 0s. http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/rng/stats_tests.html A note about testing a Random Number Generator: We actually don't need too many RNG tests because many "subsume" one another. That said, described here is a simple effective new Ordered Frequency Test for bits. This test subsumes any frequency test that expects 50-50 because it is more stringent. Definitions: t= tosses / trials b=bins / urns s=sessions of tosses n=sets of sessions Because coin tosses are usually not 50-50, this new test can be utilized with great effectiveness using a pool of 40,000,000 bits. When coins are flipped 100 times, the expected values are 53.9795 of one and 46.0205 of the other, sometimes more heads, sometimes more tails. 50-50 is not the expected value of the ordered bins, so this test is superior to any frequency test that instead expects 50-50. Step 1: Choice of sample size: 100 tosses / bits. Step 2: Choice of number of Sessions: 50 sessions is never sufficient, even with huge sample sizes in the millions. 400 is usually enough. 2000 converges well, so 2000 different samples of 100 tosses are used. Minimal gain occurs above 2000. Expected values for 2000 sessions of 100 tosses:
50-50 159.1784748 (Notice that 50-50 occurs a mere 7.96% of the time.)
51-49 312.1146564
52-48 294.1080416
53-47 266.362
54-46 231.8335926
55-45 193.8971865
56-44 155.8102392
57-43 120.2745706
58-42 89.16907819
59-41 63.47629295
60-40 43.37546685
61-39 28.4429291
62-38 17.89152
63-37 10.79171042
64-36 6.238957586
65-35 3.455422663 The equation to obtain the exact percentages for bins b=2 and tosses t=100 is: For 100-0, the odds are 1 / (2^99) = 1 / (2^(t-1)) Then, building up from there, for 99-1 previous multiplied by 100 (t) divide by 1 for 98-2 previous multiplied by 99 (t-1) divide by 2 for 97-3 previous multiplied by 98 (t-2) divide by 3 ... skip ... for 51-49 previous multiplied by 52 (t-48) divide by 49 for 50-50 previous multiplied by 51 (t-49) divide by 50, then divide again by 2. This equation works with any number of tosses. Step 3: A chi-square is taken on these 18 values with 17 degrees of freedom giving a resulting p value. p values above 0.999 are close to perfection. Can an RNG be too close to perfection too often? Yes, being too predictable. Under 0.001 is where definite problems usually occur. One test suite considers 300 zeroes to the right of the decimal as infinitesimally bad and 10-14 in a row as quite bad. Some consider 6 zeroes bad enough to qualify as a definite clear failure. Some, for the sake of safety, consider 1 or 2 zeroes enough and they are in error. So, instead of a single p value for a single set sometimes providing a p value below 0.01 for an excellent RNG, many sets of sessions are taken. Step 4: The p values are fed to a 0-1.0 straight line Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Different experts recommend the number of inputs to the K-S test to be from 10 to 1000. 100 is not quite enough. 200 is fine. 500 is slightly aggressive. Here is pseudocode to obtain the K-S maximum difference:
The K-S answer is not a p value and should not exceed 0.115 for 200 p values. 0.03 to 0.08 is normal for a good RNG. 0.115 to 0.13 is suspect. The K-S test is very simple It is also quite effective. Shown above is a superior new Ordered Frequency Test. Any RNG which fails this test should not be tested further and immediately replaced. But, what next? The OFTest does not subsume the LOR test. Recommended is the Length Of Runs test with sample size 200,000 with 15 degrees of freedom fed into the K-S test 200 times. (Note that the expected total of the smallest LOR bin for "more than j" is equal to the jth bin.) And then what? For many games, these two tests are all you need. There are a propensity of choices from NIST, Diehard, Dieharder, Crusher. (Note: The Diehard Overlapping Sums test is both inferior and faulty, not a faithful interpretation of Marsaglia's original Fortran code.) Results from a few RNGs with n=200.
Notice that the low bits of any and every LCG should be discarded from the returned result. A note about 2^35: This is the minimum period and significance for any RNG because coin flips and craps runs and such things can happen 30 times in a row, but 35 just isn't expected to happen. A period of 2^32 is insufficient, too small for real life situations. LWAP |
You can only test statistical randomness anyway, and that does not prove whether the number sequence is cryptographically strong. Statistically testing a PRNG requires quite a lot (10 or even 100Gbytes) of the generated bits. Dieharder is a very good testing suite. http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php And TestU01 is also well-known. |
It depends how severe your requirement for randomness is. If it is not too severe, what I do is generate a large number of random numbers, find their frequencies and then use the frequencies to plot a graph using a spreadshhet like that in Open Office. If the distribution looks OK, then I'm good to go. |
Unless you have access to the random number generator and can use it to generate numbers at will, you can't test if a sequence of numbers is random. Think about it: you have a random number generator. Let's say it's a uniform random number generator, generating random integers in the range [0,9]. Given a sequence:
can you tell if it is random? There is a finite probability 10−10, that our uniform random number generator will generate this exact sequence. In fact, given any length-10 sequence, we have the same probability of our uniform random number generator generating that sequence. Hence, by definition, you can't determine if a given sequence is random. If you do have access to the generator itself, and can use it to generate multiple sequences, then it makes sense to "check for randomness". For this, I would look at Diehard tests. There are various implementations. |
You can't generate true randomness by any algorithm, thus try to visualize your outputs and check for patterns with your own eyes. None random generator (by algorithm) would create some patterns that you can judge them yourself. Here is one of demonstration of that idea: http://www.alife.co.uk/nonrandom/ |
You can't make sure, there is no way to distinguish with certainty any function from a random number generator using a finite number of tests. But you can do Statistical Analysis: See the section on Charmaine Kenny's study for more details on the tests you could run. |
Create a log file which will contains the random number for atleast 500 instances and audit it for randomness. Also have a look at below link, |
Use chi-square testing. What language are you using? I can offer a C++ example. Basically
Often if you have your generator draw dots at random locations in a bitmap, any nonrandomness will easily be discernable to the eye as clumping, banding or lines. |
Show it to a room full of developers. |
You cannot ensure the numbers are random simply because random numbers are, well, random. The chances of getting a string of one million consecutive 9's is the same as getting any other specific one-million-long sequence. The one thing you can check for is correct distribution over a large sample set. Run a sizeable test and work out the relative occurrences of each possible outcome. Over a large enough sample, they should be roughly the same. One other possibility is to test for non-repeatability. Ideally, random numbers should not depend on the numbers that came before. Very simple (linear congruential) PRNGs will most likely give you the same sequence of numbers eventually but over a large enough set that you probably won't care (unless you're serious about randomness). |
It's a very difficult thing. You may try ENT from Fourmilab and compare it with the results against their RNG, HotBits. You may also like to review Random.org. This also looks interesting: Diehard tests (I've not worked with it though). |

I've linked up with Joanne at Eats Well With Others which is one of my most favorite blogs. Her dishes are both healthy and delicious with some decadent sweets thrown in every now and then. In a recent post she blogged about a group that will be starting up Eat.Live.Be. for a Better 2011 where each Monday we will post about a particular healthy theme, what the weeks goals are and how we did last week with reaching that goal. This weeks theme is all about my support system so here's who they are in no particular order.... 1. My mom. We talk every day and she is my sounding board for ideas and my support for when I want to vent. She is one of my three best friends. I can share my goals of being healthy and losing that last five pounds and she listens tirelessly. After I had my daughter she went back to the Weight Watcher meetings to support me even though she was already a lifetime member. Somehow when life gets me stressed she can talk me down.....each and every time. In fact, just this morning she patiently listened about my tough morning. Our dog Madison is in surgery having a tumor removed, my daughter spilled a smoothie all down the cabinets and under the dish washer (at this point we were running really late), I got us into the car and before I strapped her in she said "Mommy I poopy". After finally dropping her off I called my mom crying but by the time I was at work I was calm enough to walk in to work and face my day. 3. My friend Justine. I don't have any siblings but she is the closest thing. We have so much in common and she is my voice of reason. Both of us love cooking and working out, have small children and are really close with our families. We work at the same company and have the same circle of friends. When things get crazy in life I can run anything by her and ask her if, in fact, I'm crazy or if it's everyone else and she'll tell me straight. We discuss the trials and tribulations of being full time working moms that have health and fitness as a top priority. She was the first one I told today, in fact, that I made it to the gym in the rain during my lunch break and realized forgot my sneakers! I grabbed my work out clothes and socks and snuck upstairs to do my workout on the elliptical. She understands how I feel when I decline to do a business lunch in order to get to the gym because she does the same thing when most other people can't believe I work out at lunch and actually work up a sweat (don't worry there are showers there). 4. All of you! Blogging is how I get so excited about testing new recipes, trying new veggies and taking food photos. I love sharing my experiences with my blogging friends and hearing what yours are and learning new things. Just today I learned an idea from Michelle at Find your Balance about dealing with sugar cravings after the holidays. I have pages marked, recipes saved and lists created of all the inspiring recipes that other bloggers have posted. My only problem is there are so many recipes and so little time. 5. Weight Watchers. There are so many things I love about it. I'm most definitely not a spokes person but I am not afraid to sing its praises. What other "diet" can you eat Christmas cookies, tiramisu, roast, Lindor truffles, sweet potato pie, pizza at 2AM and STILL loose weight. I came to the realization I'll never be an intuitive eater because my intuition tells me to eat more than my body needs. It's so easy to use it to track on line and plan my meals. Additionally, there is a new program where fruit is zero points which makes it so much easier for me to stick to. When I feel like I'm backsliding there are meetings I can go to where everyone can share ideas and learn new developments. Who is the support system in your life? |

A man who facing his third drunken driving arrest was captured by police after he attempted to flee during a traffic stop Jan. 12.
According to Oak Creek police reports:
The driver, a 30-year-old Oak Creek man, and his passenger both ran off after police pulled their car over in the 4100 block of East Studio Lane about 2:40 a.m. Jan 12. A foot chase ensued and police took both the driver and the passenger, a 37-year-old Oak Creek man, into custody a short time later.
The driver was arrested for third-offense drunken driving and third-offense driving with a revoked license. He also was cited for possession of marijuana after police found an orange pill bottle containing THC in the center console of his car during the arrest search. The passenger was arrested for resisting/obstructing an officer.
The driver was scheduled to appear in the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office this week.

definitely a fast cook. I recommend preparing them absolutely last because they get cold as fast as they cook. I would also double the recipe because, although what it made was cold, it was gone in minutes, and there was only 4 of us.
Excellent "company" fare. Minimal work but big result. I'm making them again for Christmas!
I'm in the minority here, but my Thanksgiving guests (foodies all) agreed with me. There really wasn't that much flavor in this dish. I think I'll stick with my tried-and-true greem beans almondine in the future.
I thought I remembered reading this in Gourmet, but didn't have my magazine handy. I ended up forgetting the rice vinegar, but it still came out great. The nuts make a pretty autumn presentation sprinkled over the beans at the end.
BIG HIT in my house this year for Thanksgiving! Wonderful deviation from the standard green bean casserole. So easy, I fancy that I'll make these beans on a regular basis.
This was a huge hit with my dinner guests. I ended up sauteeing some shallots in the butter before adding the rest and it gave it a v.nice flavor.
