URI freshmen tackling Grand Challenges

New courses prompt students to think about global issues
KINGSTON, R.I. – November 15, 2010 -- Freshmen at the University of Rhode Island have been examining complex global issues from the first day of classes this year as part of a new series of courses called Grand Challenges.
The 28 interdisciplinary Grand Challenges courses have small enrollments and are taught by full-time faculty members. The classes focus on global challenges such as poverty, diversity, hunger and climate change, and they have intriguing titles like "Media and Race Relations," "The Weight is Over," "The Future of Families," "Heavy Metal," and "Earth Gone Mad?"
"We are paying particular attention to the first-year experience," said Jayne Richmond, dean of URI's University College. "Freshmen come with a lot of self doubt and fear in the academic arena, and providing them with both challenge and support is enormously important. They need some help with knowing how to be a college student, and these classes provide that while also getting them to think about contemporary global issues."
Most Grand Challenges courses are paired with a writing or communications course, so the discussion and assignments in the paired course incorporate the content covered in the Grand Challenges course.
"That aspect has been particularly well received," said Richmond. "Some of the students have said, 'I love that what I'm learning about in one class is being reflected in the other.' It's a wonderful way to really understand the topics we are covering."
The courses were developed as a result of a request by URI Provost Donald DeHayes to create innovations in general education classes. The initiative was spearheaded by Rachel DiCioccio, associate professor of communications studies, and Vice Provost Laura Beauvais, with invaluable assistance from Vice Provost Dean Libutti. It was established by the URI General Education Task Force to enrich the first year experience by giving students an opportunity to learn through an interdisciplinary lens.
While the classes have forced students to think in different ways, they have also been a challenge for faculty members, many of whom had never taught freshmen before. Each of the faculty instructors became Grand Challenges Fellows and agreed to participate in a series of workshops last spring, the first of which focused on strategies for teaching freshmen. Other workshops covered co-teaching and establishing learning outcomes across classes.
"I've been struck with the intelligence and energy of my students," said President Emeritus Robert L. Carothers, who is teaching a leadership course. "I haven't been in the classroom for more than 30 years, but I'm just dazzled by these kids."
Added Kathleen Gorman, director of URI's Feinstein Center for a Hunger-Free America: "I think what is most exciting about the Grand Challenges can be summed up in the words of one of my students who at first wasn't sure about the course, but recently commented 'now I realize, it's all about challenging me, as a person, to think and work harder, and it feels good."
The University has issued a request for proposals seeking suggestions from faculty members for the development of new Grand Challenges courses for the fall of 2011.

Heart of Darkness, a novel by Joseph Conrad, and Apocalypse Now, a movie by Francis Ford Coppola can be compared and contrasted in many ways. By focusing on their endings and on the character of Kurtz, contrasting the meanings of the horror in each media emerges. In the novel the horror reflects Kurtz tragedy of transforming into a ruthless animal whereas in the film the horror has more of a definite meaning, reflecting the war and all the barbaric fighting that is going on. Conrad's Heart of Darkness, deals with the account of Marlow, a narrator of a journey up the Congo River into the heart of Africa, into the jungle, his ultimate destination. Marlow is commissioned as an ivory agent and is sent to ivory stations along the river. Marlow is told that when he arrives at the inner station he is to bring back information about Kurtz, the basis of this comparison and contrast in this paper, who is the great ivory agent, and who is said to be sick. As Marlow proceeds away to the inner station "to the heart of the mighty big river....
resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country and its tail lost in the depths of the land" (Dorall 303), he hears rumors of Kurtz's unusual behavior of killing the Africans. The behavior fascinates him, especially when he sees it first hand: "and there it was black, dried, sunken, with closed eyelids- a head that seemed to sleep at the top of that pole, and with the shrunken dry lips showing a narrow white line of the teeth, was smiling too, smiling continuously at some endless and jocose dream of that eternal slumber"(Conrad 57). These heads that Marlow sees are first hand evidence of Kurtz's unusual behavior. The novel ends with Kurtz "gradually engulfing the atrocities of the other agents in his own immense horror"(Dorall 303). At his dying moment, Kurtz utters "The Horror! The Horror!', which for the novel are words reflecting the tragedy of Kurtz, and his transformation into an animal. Apocalypse Now is a movie that is similarly structured to the book but has many different meanings.
The movie takes place during the Vietnam War. The narrator is Captain Willard, who is given a mission to locate and kill Colonel Kurtz, who is said to be in Cambodia killing the Vietcong, South Vietnamese and the Cambodians. Willard journeys up the Nung river to find Kurtz, and eventually finds and kills him. Kurtz's words "The Horror!, The Horror!" in the film have a different meaning from the novel. Their meaning is not definite though and could only be understood by taking a deeper look at the character of Kurtz this film. At the point when Willard, from Apocalypse Now, and Marlow from Heart of Darkness, meet up with their Kurtzes, the two media break off from their similar structure and start to develop differently.
The Kurtz in Conrad's novel is told to be "a universal genius,...the flower of European Civilization"(Conrad qtd. in LaBrasca 289). Kurtz becomes a beacon of hope for Marlow who is searching for him amid much heat, bugs, natives and immense fog. Marlow approaches Kurtz's place of refuge, described as "the shack of the 'universal genius' surrounded by a crude row of posts, holding high the severed heads of 'rebels(Africans)"(Conrad qtd. in Labrasca 290). From these words we can see that Kurtz is no ordinary man..

December 28, 2001, Chandigarh, India |
BJP announces poll strategy
YEARENDER BJP Advani: police failed
to protect mosque |
not behind Parliament attack
BJP announces poll strategy New Delhi, December 27 Party spokesman Sunil Shastri, however, said the BJP would go it alone in Uttaranchal, contesting all 70 Assembly seats. Elaborating on Uttar Pradesh, Mr Shastri said they would tie up with Mr Ajit Singhs Rashtriya Lok Dal, the Lok Janshakti and the Janata Dal (U). However, he said the party had no proposal as yet to accommodate the Indian National Lok Dal led by Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala. He said those who had been part of the government would be accommodated in constituencies where the party would not contest. Mr Shastri said the UP unit of the BJP would soon meet to finalise its list of recommendations and the announcement of the candidates would be made after the central election committee approved it. On apprehensions that the BJP might use the Ayodhya issue for electoral gains, Mr Shastri said the party had already made it clear that it had no such plans. However, he added that the BJP would certainly reply back if the Opposition made it (Ayodhya) an issue. He said the BJP wanted the dispute to be solved through negotiations, failing which the issue should be settled through court. On his partys prospects, Mr Shastri said the BJP was fully geared up and was confident of returning to power in UP, Punjab and Uttaranchal. Meanwhile, the party will hold a meeting of office-bearers tomorrow afternoon ahead of the BJP National Executive meeting convened to discuss issues concerning national security on December 29.
Cong to go it alone in Uttaranchal New Delhi, December 27 Uttaranchal Pradesh Congress Committee Observer Dhirendra Pratap said the party was confident of wresting power from the BJP in the state. People are dissatisfied with the ruling party for its misrule, lack of development work and false promises, he said. The Pradesh Congress Committee will meet in Dehra Dun on January 2 to prepare its strategy for the election.
YEARENDER BJP New Delhi, December 27 Caught between the dictates of power and altruistic calls to follow a puritan and spartan course, the BJP continued to be pulled in two almost opposite directions thus confusing the party cadres. The battle between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the non-Sangh followers continued to rage within the party as Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Union Home Minister Lal Krishan Advani had to undertake a tightrope walk to keep the NDA government going. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and other Sangh parivar outfits kept the NDA government on tenterhooks throughout the year. But the partys own story was no different. While Mr Bangaru Laxman, who was chosen to lead the party by none other than Mr Vajpayee, had to step down unceremoniously in the wake of the Tehelka, new President K Jana Krishnamurthi also could not make much impact on a party which had been pulling in different directions for quite some time. Mr Krishnamurthis failure to revive the partys image received a setback as he had to whittle down the much trumpeted code of ethics under the instructions of the BJP high command. With the code of ethics being pushed aside at the asking of power hungry and materialistically oriented middle ranking leaders of the party, Mr Krishnamurthis efforts to assert the partys role over the government came to nought as his authority did not remain unchallenged. The Prime Minister and his camp preferred to interact with the party via former party President Kushabhau Thakre rather than dealing with Mr Krishnamurthi which created different centres of powers in the party. The state of affairs in the party was amply reflected during the celebrations of its 50 years of existence when at a special session of the National Executive Committee of the party in the Capital on October 21, 2001, Mr Vajpayee took everybody present by surprise saying that there was a communication gap between the party and the Government. The popular confidence continued to erode as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government hopped from one crisis to another. In Assam particularly, where the party high command forced the state unit into accepting an electoral alliance with the then ruling Assam Gana Parishad (AGP), the BJPs image was further exposed. Internal party differences and factional feuds gave a further blow to a party which took pride in projecting the values of discipline, patriotism and probity as the cornerstone of the BJP. Ego clashes forced the party high command to change the Chief Ministers in Uttaranchal and Gujarat as the party high command reluctantly accepted the RSS nominees. |
Advani: police failed to protect mosque New Delhi, December 27 The state government had forbidden the use of firearms and not the use of police force as such, Mr Advani said while deposing before the Liberhan Commission, probing the sequence of events leading to the demolition of the disputed structure. The Home Minister was responding to commission counsel queries based on the theory that local authorities and the police appeared to be mute spectators on the day of demolition, ostensibly under the instructions of the then Chief Minister. Observing that the kar sevaks who demolished the mosque did not face any resistance from the police force, he said, They failed in their duty which was to protect the disputed structure. Exonerating the Kalyan Singh government on this account, Mr Advani said: All I can say is that this inactivity of the police personnel was not because of the instructions of the state government. It may be because of the overall atmosphere. To another question, the Home Minister also denied that the BJP had associated itself with the Ayodhya movement with an objective of creating a Hindu vote bank. Meanwhile, The Hindu Masasabha today took a swipe at Home Minister L.K. Advani for his reported statement before the Liberhan Commission that the demolition of the disputed structure at Ayodhya was a big setback to the BJP. Mr Advanis statement tantamounts to a betrayal of the entire Hindu community and is extremely tragic. The Hindu populace will never forgive him for such a statement, the Mahasabha said. It was Mr Advani who led a rath yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya with the purpose of rebuilding the Ram temple, it said. |
Kashmiris not behind
Parliament attack New Delhi, December 27 It is some one or some agencies acting in the name of Kashmiris carrying out the attack on democratic institutions of the country, Mr Qureshi, who arrived here after being granted bail by a court, told reporters at the airport. Meanwhile, Chief of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Shah and Mr Qureshi, who were here, told reporters that January 6 SAARC summed was an opportune time for India and Pakistan to sit together and sort all differences. God forbid, if there is a war, it will not be fought with rockets or grenades but with nuclear weapons as both the countries have brandished the same ample number of times, Mr Shah said. |

Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (also "LMRDA" or the "Landrum-Griffin Act"), is a United States labor law that regulates labor unions' internal affairs and their officials' relationships with employers.[1]
After passage of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947, the number of union victories in NLRB-conducted elections declined.[2] During the 12-year administration of the Wagner Act passed in 1935, unions won victories in over 80 percent of elections.[2] But in that first year after passage of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947, unions only won around 70 percent of the representation elections conducted by the agency.[2]
During the middle and late 1950s, the labor movement was under intense Congressional scrutiny for corruption, racketeering, and other misconduct.[2] Enacted in 1959 after revelations of corruption and undemocratic practices in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, International Longshoremen's Association, United Mine Workers and other unions received wide public attention,[2] the Act requires unions to hold secret elections for local union offices on a regular basis and provides for review by the United States Department of Labor of union members' claims of improper election activity. Organized labor opposed the act because it strengthened the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.[3]
It was sponsored by Democrat Phil Landrum and Republican Robert P. Griffin. The drafting was assisted by Clyde Summers.
Important provisions of the law were as follows:
- Unions had to hold secret elections, reviewable by the Department of Labor.
- Union members are protected against abuses by a bill of rights that includes guarantees of freedom of speech and periodic secret elections of officers.
- Bar members of the Communist Party and convicted felons from holding union office. The bar on Communist Party members was ruled unconstitutional in 1965.[4]
- Require unions to submit annual financial reports to the DOL.
- Declare that every union officer must act as a fiduciary in handling the assets and conducting the affairs of the union.
- Limit the power of unions to put subordinate bodies in trusteeship, a temporary suspension of democratic processes within a union.
- Provide certain minimum standards before a union may expel or take other disciplinary action against a member of the union.
The LMRDA covers both workers and unions covered by the National Labor Relations Act ("Wagner Act") and workers and unions in the railroad and airline industries, who are covered by the Railway Labor Act. The LMRDA does not, as a general rule, cover public sector employees, who are not covered by either the NLRA or the RLA. The LMRDA likewise does not displace state laws governing unions' relations with their members except to the extent that those state laws would conflict with federal law.
Congress also amended the National Labor Relations Act, as part of the same piece of legislation that created the LMRDA, by tightening the Taft-Hartley Act's prohibitions against secondary boycotts, prohibiting certain types of "hot cargo" agreements, under which an employer agreed to cease doing business with other employers, and empowered the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board to seek an injunction against a union that engages in recognitional picketing of an employer for more than thirty days without filing a petition for representation with the NLRB.
Union members may enforce their LMRDA rights through private lawsuit or, in some cases, through the US Department of Labor.
Subsequent operation[edit]
Twenty years after the passage of the Act, co-sponsor Senator Robert Griffin wrote,
Today, nearly two decades after enactment, it is undeniable that the Landrum-Griffin Act has played a significant role in enabling union members to participate more freely in the affairs of their unions. On the other hand, it cannot be said that union corruption and abuses of union power have disappeared. But such conduct in the union movement is not as common as it was twenty years ago; and, in large measure, that can be credited to the existence of the Landrum-Griffin Act.[5]
Senator Griffin acknowledged the shortcomings, particularly with regard to the Teamsters. However, Griffin argued that these violations were contrary to the Act, placing the blame instead on the Department of Labor for failing to pursue action against the Teamsters union for its corruption.[6]
The Act stressed that union members be guaranteed, as part of a Bill of Rights, the right to a secret ballot on certain issues facing the union at large.[7] However, in naming certain aspects of union function – such as dues, constitution, bylaws, membership [7] – and not others, the Act opened the door for abuses thereunder. For instance, a vote on the union constitution would require that each member have the right to see the proposed changes, distribute information in support or opposition thereof, and have their union bound by the result of the election. However, if a ratification vote were not under one of these named clauses, then these protections did not apply under the Act, and union officials could act as they saw fit, regardless of the sentiment of general membership.[8]
Collective Bargaining[edit]
Likewise, the Act did address the issue of collective bargaining, but only in externalities such as reporting thereof. It did not address the question of whether such agreements required any consent from the union members or locals.[9] Furthermore, in allowing for trusteeship in such instances, the Act allowed for union officials to exert greater control over the will of their members. In one court case on the matter, an Oklahoma City local attempted to leave one union body to affiliate with another. The original union put them under trusteeship to block the transfer, and the court upheld the move as legal under the Act.[10] As law professor Alan Hyde put it, "the courts advance democratic bargaining only when assured that such democracy will not disadvantage more fundamental policy interests, such as harmony between employers and 'unions' (read union elites) or control of inflation".[11]
With regard to retiree pensions, among other secondary issues, the Act did nothing to close the loophole created by the National Labor Relations Act to allow such 'permissive', or 'not mandatory', items from being dealt with by a union employer unilaterally,[12] a right which was upheld by the Supreme Court as late as 1971 in Allied Chemical Workers Local 1 v. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company.[13] Likewise, in 1980, the Supreme Court affirmed the right of union international offices to negotiate a pension plan in conflict with that supported by the members, when union bylaws allow for approval by international.[14]

Energy-Wise Landscape Design
Energy-wise landscape design : a new approach for your home and garden by Sue Reed ; illustrations by Kate Dana — Once upon a time, curb appeal was the driving force behind most residential landscape design, but the down economy and our increased awareness of environmental factors has changed our motivation. Now we can use the landscape to help shade the house from sun and cool the air and ground around the house, reduce the chilling effect of wind in winter, use water efficiently, and utilize a variety of technologies to generate energy. Whether you're planning a new landscape or revamping an existing one, this book has a wealth of information, tips, and ideas.

Book Gems: Fiction
If you missed our Book Gems program last night, you can still take a peek at the titles we highlighted:
Not all tarts are apple by Pip Granger — This charming book set in 1953 London focuses on Rosie, the 7-year-old narrator, and the colorful characters in her Soho neighborhood. Try this if you like cozy British mysteries — especially if you care more about the setting and characters than the mystery itself.
Then she found me by Elinor Lipman — Restrained high school Latin teacher April Epner is dismayed when her extroverted birth mother finds her in this wry, unsentimental comedy of manners. A good choice for readers of Anne Tyler or Elizabeth Berg.

The ignition switch actuator can bind causing the ignition switch to stick in the "start" position. If this were to occur the actuator can unexpectedly release, cause the ignition switch to snap back into the "Accessory" position. This would cause the engine to turn off with an associated loss of brake and steering power assist. If these conditions were to lead to a crash the airbags may not deploy as expected. Dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing as necessary to correct this concern.

Oracle8i Recovery Manager User's Guide and Reference Release 2 (8.1.6) Part Number A76990-01 |
Recovery Manager Command Syntax, 9 of 50
To start RMAN from the operating system command line. Use these arguments to:
Use these arguments at the operating system command line rather than at the RMAN prompt.
specifies a connect string to the target database, for example, target sys/change_on_install@inst1. See "connectStringSpec". |
specifies a connect string to the database containing the recovery catalog, for example, catalog rman/rman@inst2. See "connectStringSpec". |
nocatalog |
indicates that you are using RMAN without a recovery catalog.You must use this argument when starting Recovery Manager without a recovery catalog. |
specifies a connect string to an auxiliary database, for example, auxiliary sys/change_on_install@dupdb. See "connectStringSpec". |
log filename |
specifies the file where Recovery Manager will record RMAN output, that is, the commands that were processed and their results. If you do not specify this argument, then Recovery Manager writes its message log file to standard output. |
append |
causes new output to be appended to the end of the message log file. If you do not specify this parameter and a file with the same name as the message log file already exists, RMAN overwrites it. |
cmdfile filename |
runs a file containing a user-defined list of RMAN commands. If the first character of the filename is alphabetic, then you can omit the quotes around the filename. The contents of the command file should be identical to commands entered at the RMAN prompt. For example, the following file contents will cause RMAN to connect to a target database and recovery catalog RCAT: connect target; connect catalog rman/rman@rcat; RMAN terminates after running the command file. |
@filename |
equivalent to cmdfile. |
msgno |
causes RMAN to print message numbers, that is, RMAN-xxxx, for the output of the list command. By default, list does not print the RMAN-xxxx prefix. |
trace filename |
specifies the name of the file in which RMAN logs debugging information. You must also specify the debug option to generate debugging output. If you specify debug without also specifying trace, then RMAN writes the debugging output to standard output or the message log if one is specified. |
debug |
activates the debugging feature. Use this option only for problem diagnosis under the direction of Oracle World Wide Support. |
send 'command' |
sends a vendor-specific command string to all allocated channels. See your media management documentation to determine whether this feature is supported. See Also: "send" to send a string to specific channels. |
This example connects to the target database PROD1 without a recovery catalog:
% rman target sys/sys_pwd@prod1 nocatalog
This example connects to the target database PROD1, the recovery catalog database RCAT, and the auxiliary instance AUX1:
% rman target sys/sys_pwd@prod1 catalog rman/rman@rcat auxiliary sys/aux_pwd@aux1
This example connects to the target database PROD1 and the recovery catalog database RCAT, and then runs the command file b_whole_10.rcv
% rman target sys/sys_pwd@prod1 catalog rman/rman@rcat @'/oracle/dbs/b_whole_l0.rcv'
This example connects to the target database PROD1 without a recovery catalog and then specifies that RMAN should append messages to the message log:
% rman target sys/sys_pwd@prod1 nocatalog log = $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/log/msglog.f append

Be Nice to Your Service Person or Suffer the Consequences
Yesterday Gut Check discussed why you shouldn't be an asshole to staff members in restaurants, taking the stance that the No. 1 reason to act decent is because there's a human being on the receiving end of the crazy blind rage.Wikimedia Commons Have you had your McBeating today?
Today, we have reason No. 2 to not be an asshole to restaurant staff members: that staff member possibly served ten years in prison for manslaughter and is a hair away from losing his fucking violent mind when you hassle him during his shift at McDonald's.
That's what happened in a New York City McDonald's last Thursday night. Two women, Denise Darbeau and Rachel Edwards, got angry when employee Rayon McIntosh informed them he had to scan their $50 bill to verify it. The women got an attitude about the routine procedure, so McIntosh beat the shit out of them with a metal rod.
That's right. Beat them with a metal rod, leaving Darbeau, who started the physical confrontation by slapping McIntosh, with a fractured skull and broken arm. Edwards suffered a big cut.
McIntosh is charged with felony assault charges, along with criminal possession of a weapon, while Darbeau and Edwards are charged with menacing, trespass and disorderly conduct.
We don't condone McIntosh's response in the least. No one should be beaten with a pipe. Ever. However, this is what can happen when customers are rude to the wrong service person. If you don't want to be nice in the name of being a decent human being, at least do it so you don't get your skull cracked.
Of course, someone captured the whole incident on video.

I'm not a programmer, I mean a real programmer. I do hack code sometimes, mostly python, to be able to process files for recurring tasks. I had to read XHTML files to send to an XML parser (ElementTree).
This piece of code might be useful for someone and there will be certainly people who think that it is really programmed with my feet and suggest fixes. I usually work in UTF-8 but sometimes there might be character references and named entity in my files. So I wanted to convert everything to UTF-8 characters.
def parsefile(path):
file = open(path, "r")
fileread = file.read()
fileread = unescape(fileread.decode('utf-8')).encode('utf-8')
print "Reading File Bug"
return ET.fromstring(fileread)
The Unescape HTML Entities routine was found on Frederik Lundh Web site. The code was doing too much because it was converting &
, >
and <
. I wanted to keep those in URL and where I have escaped code sections. So I slightly modified it for my own needs.
def unescape(text):
"""Removes HTML or XML character references
and entities from a text string.
keep &, >, < in the source code.
from Fredrik Lundh
def fixup(m):
text = m.group(0)
if text[:2] == "&#":
# character reference
if text[:3] == "&#x":
return unichr(int(text[3:-1], 16))
return unichr(int(text[2:-1]))
except ValueError:
print "erreur de valeur"
# named entity
if text[1:-1] == "amp":
text = "&"
elif text[1:-1] == "gt":
text = ">"
elif text[1:-1] == "lt":
text = "<"
print text[1:-1]
text = unichr(htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint])
except KeyError:
print "keyerror"
return text # leave as is
return re.sub("&#?w+;", fixup, text)
Hope it helps.

A Russian salad is not that different from a good old American potato salad. It's made with potatoes, carrots and green peas dressed with mayo.
Similarly to potato salad, there are thousands different recipes for Russian salad (which, by the way, goes also by the name of Olivier salad).
I interviewed some of my Russian/Eastern European friends and every single one had his/her secret family recipe. The differences can be quite dramatic. Which is very confusing.
The main variations include pickles, beets, turnip or apples. The dressing can also change. Some replace mayo with sour cream or yogurt or a combination of the two.
In this Russian salad "mayhem", I decided to create my own version. So I went vegan. Just to try to stand out from the crowd.
What I got in the end was a delicious, vegan, healthy, low in calories and cholesterol free Russian salad. Which is also so easy to make.
I subbed the mayo with cannellini beans pureed with some olive oil and water. Less fat, no cholesterol, and 100% vegan!
What I like about this salad is that with an impressive amount of fibers it quickly fills you up with all of its goodness.
All in all, a perfect dish if you're looking to cut calories without sacrificing taste and nutrients. My girlfriend would define this as a skinny salad. A term I honestly despise, but that girls seem to love.
Vegan Russian Salad Print this Recipe!
Few notes. The vegetables should be thoroughly cooked but retain some of their crispness: no mushy stuff. Be careful with that.
According to my friends, adding apples in a Russian salad is a "Ukrainian thing to do". I'm not sure I fully grasp the meaning of this, but I sure do like the freshness that a Granny Smith apple brings along. That's why I decided to take the Ukrainian path, wherever this might lead me.
Serves 6
2 large potatoes
2 large carrots
½ lb / 7 oz / 200 gr green peas
½ Granny Smith apple
1 cup / 7 oz / 200 gr cooked cannellini beans, rinsed and patted dry
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 small bunch of fresh dill, chopped
Bring a large pot of water to boil.
Peel the carrots and the potatoes and dice them into ½ inch (about 1 cm) cubes.
Cook carrot cubes first into the boiling water for about 5 minutes. Fish them out with a slotted spoon, drain and let cool.
Now cook the potatoes, this takes roughly 7 minutes (it depends of the quality of the potatoes). Fish them out with a slotted spoon, drain and let cool.
Lastly, cook the green peas. I used frozen ones (ouch!) so I cooked them according to package instructions. If you're using proper fresh ones it shouldn't take longer than 2 minutes.
In the meantime, wash thoroughly the Granny Smith apple and diced it (skin on) into ½ inch cubes. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, blend cannellini beans, olive oil, water, vinegar and salt; pulse until reaching the consistency of thin mayo. If still too thick, add more water (one teaspoon at a time). Finally, mix in some chopped dill.
In a big bowl mix vegetables and apple. Add pureed cannellini and stir until well combined. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Sprinkle with more dill and refrigerate before serving.

Swedish do-it-yourself furniture store IKEA will begin selling home solar panel kits in the U.K. over the next 10 months. The kit will cost about $9,200 and generate 3,360 watts of electricity.
The kits, unlike IKEA's snap-together furniture, come with an offer of professional system design and installation from the store's partner, China's Hanergy. The system will also be available on a leased basis, where the customer pays no upfront cost but agrees to buy the energy generated at a fixed price. While IKEA does not quote installation pricing, customers should expect to pay about the same amount again for professional installation.
ALSO READ: The Most Dangerous Cities in America
By way of comparison, in the U.S. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) sells a 400 watt solar panel kit for about $1,500, but that system is intended for small off-grid use in recreational vehicles or vacation cabins. Walmart does not offer installation services. You're on your own.
IKEA noted in its announcement that a pilot program has been running at one store in the U.K. since July and that the store sells an average of about one system a day.
ALSO READ: Ten Brands That Will Disappear in 2014
The system will pay for itself in about seven years according to IKEA for those who purchase the system. But again, that does not include the installation cost.
IKEA also said it would evaluate the U.K. program before it deciding whether or not to roll out the offer in other countries.

I seem to remember the Royal Canin as being a really decent quality food, Gustav.
You know, I heard about a study that said we Americans spend more on pet stuff than we do on jewelry. There was something else too, some category that wasn't really luxurious or terribly frivolous. I didn't catch if it included pet food. Thought it was interesting. I know I spend more taking care of my pets than I do on jewelry, lol! But I'd much rather have the animals than the rocks.
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. ~Buddha Stupid is the most notoriously incurable and contagious disease known to mankind. If you find yourself in close proximity to someone infected with stupid, walk away as soon as said infection is noted. There are few things more nauseating than pure obedience. ~ Kvothe ***8206;"silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation." Rumi Be a god. Know when to shut up.

To preface this post, I've already used Onyx to repair permissions, clear all chaches etc etc.. Reboot and everything. Still having this issue. I did something yesterday, likely stupid but hopefully not unrecoverable. I was attempting to change my Photoshop icon, and downloaded an PS icon (might have been png) from the interwebzes...
I think that by accident, in a moment of what could be described as "less than stellar clarity", I might have copied the "image" from the image its self, and not from the image icon in the "get info" pane that you normally would... AND... I think I pasted said image directly on to the physical application icon, rather than the same "get info" panel icon. Since then, it doesn't matter what kind of image I'm viewing, I can't get the "get info" image icon to appear. I've gone into each and every Finder location, have made sure to check "show icon preview" within view options, but this only assures that the thumbnails of said files have previews. Interestingly enough, I've found ONE folder of jpgs which do correctly display said icon. Look at my screens to see the difference in what I'm talking about. This also goes for any icons that I download from the web. And it's a problem because I can no longer change my icon images. Doug |

OI, all you Aussies, with the cricket against England finishing so ignominiously, why not join the Australia Team and show how we really compete. With only 25 Million people to provide support for SETI, let's give it a HUGE boost from Australia. Thanks, Chris Nelson. ____________
