- Stir in broth. Bring to a boil; add orzo. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until orzo is tender. Stir in the chicken, milk, basil, salt and pepper; heat through (do not boil). Sprinkle with cheese just before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
Full-Bodied White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.
Reviews for Chicken in Tomato-Basil Cream Sauce
Sort By :
"This is a restaurant quality dish, in my opinion. It was a hit with my family and we will definitely make it again. It is very time-consuming, though. I have no idea how anyone could prepare all the ingredients in 20 minutes. I always wonder how they calculate the prep time."
"Have made this twice now. First as is, and then with shrimp instead of chicken. Fantastic either way...Great fairly easy recipe that looks like you spent hours on it."
"I didn't have fresh basil, so I used dried. I think it would have been much better with fresh basil. It's still good, and even better the next day. But if I make it again, I'll make sure I have fresh basil."

Remembering Nolan Miller
Iconic Hollywood fashion and costume designer Nolan Miller leaves behind a remarkable legacy that changed the television landscape and influenced popular culture for five decades.
Sci-Fi Women Who Rocked the Future of Fashion!
Fashion and science fiction capture my imagination because of their projections of the future. The fashion world depends on it, with designers displaying tomorrow's looks on runways before the designs are mass-produced. Likewise, science fiction offers a peek at fantastical worlds of the future, and tantalizing marketing campaigns for sci-fi movies often get me hooked — especially to check out the fashions!

The French word "atelier" might sound highfalutin, but it simply means "workshop" or "studio." It doesn't matter whether it's a sun-drenched loft with a view of the Eiffel Tower, or a converted garage with a view of the driveway; an atelier is a space to think, to dream, and to create.
You Can Dance!
In a previous post, I recalled my attempts to sing in preparation for our high school musical Guys and Dolls. Naturally, I also needed to learn some nifty dance routines courtesy of Ms. Greene, the director/choreographer. So, in addition to stretching my already strained vocal chords, I tried to coordinate two left feet while she breathed fire every time I took a false step.

Calendar Daze

Don't settle for just any old calendar! See why our blogger thinks a calendar is one of the most personal and important purchases of the year!
Fly Girls!
Leather banquettes! Deluxe cabins! Leg room! Best of all, iconic stewardess uniforms! Flipping through a magazine on a recent — cramped — red-eye from NY to LA, I came across an ad for Pan Am, the new drama about flight attendants onboard the famous luxury aircraft in the 1960s.

Wrapped Up in Scarves
by Matt Stevens
Photos by James Williams
I am obsessed with collecting scarves. Despite living in sunny Southern California, I keep buying more!
Why this unabashed affection for a toasty neck wrap? Because a scarf is the perfect accessory. It dresses up any outfit, never goes out of fashion, and — thanks to the recent trend of lighter summer scarves — can be sported year-round. Plus, unlike a necktie, a scarf can be worn several ways: Draped, looped, layered, knotted, or elegantly tossed over one shoulder!

Who's on first?
Huge win for the good guys. Gameballs to Aurilia and Clayton. It is so much fun to be in the race after July.
Ron Popeil apologist.
Definitely. It looked same old, same old when he gave up the solo homers in the 2nd, but he recovered and gave the team a great shot for the win. If we could only get 2 runs in 6 IP every start....Originally Posted by keeganbrick
It's such a great win tonight, the Reds don't ever give up. This is definitely a new look Reds ballclub without a doubt and they are are exciting to watch.

Article: Potent monoclonal antibodies against Clostridium difficile toxin A elicited by DNA immunization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent studies have demonstrated that DNA immunization is effective in eliciting antigen-specific antibody responses against a wide range of infectious disease targets. The polyclonal antibodies elicited by DNA vaccination exhibit high sensitivity to conformational epitopes and high avidity. However, there have been limited reports in literature on the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) by DNA immunization. Here, by using Clostridium difficile (C. diff) toxin A as a model antigen, we demonstrated that DNA immunization was effective in producing a panel of mAb that are protective against toxin A challenge and can also be used as sensitive reagents to detect toxin A from various testing samples. The Ig gene usage for such mAb was also investigated. Further studies should be conducted to fully establish DNA immunization as a unique platform to produce mAb in various hosts.Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics 07/2013; 9(10).

Article: Protective antibody responses against Clostridium difficile elicited by a DNA vaccine expressing the enzymatic domain of toxin B[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A DNA vaccination approach was used in the current study to screen for the immunogenicity of different fragments of toxin A and toxin B from Clostridium difficile. With this approach, protein antigens do not need to be produced in vitro and the immunogenicity of candidate C. difficile antigens can be identified directly in animals. Codon optimized toxin gene fragments were individually cloned into the DNA vaccine vector and tested in mice and rabbits for their ability to elicit C. difficile toxin-specific antibody responses. Only a subset of the C. difficile toxin fragments, including the C-terminal receptor binding domain of toxin A and a novel N-terminal enzymatic domain of toxin B, were able to elicit protective antibody responses as determined by protection of target cells in a cytotoxicity assay or by preventing death of mice in a passive antibody protection study. Significantly, antibodies elicited by the novel N-terminus of the toxin B DNA vaccine were able to increase the level of protection when used in combination with anti-toxin A antibodies in a toxin challenge model in mice.Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics 11/2012; 9(1).

Article: DNA prime-protein boost using subtype consensus Env was effective in eliciting neutralizing antibody responses against subtype BC HIV-1 viruses circulating in China[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previously, we have shown that DNA prime-protein boost is effective in eliciting neutralizing antibodies (NAb) against randomly selected HIV-1 isolates. Given the genetic diversity of HIV-1 viruses and the unique predominant subtypes in different geographic regions, it is critical to test the DNA prime-protein boost approach against circulating viral isolates in key HIV endemic areas. In the current study, the same DNA prime-protein boost vaccine was used as in previous studies to investigate the induction of NAb responses against HIV-1 clade BC, a major subtype circulating in China. A codon optimized gp120-BC DNA vaccine, based on the consensus envelope (Env) antigen sequence of clade BC, was constructed and a stable CHO cell line expressing the same consensus BC gp120 protein was produced. The immunogenicity of this consensus gp120-BC was examined in New Zealand White rabbits by either DNA prime-protein boost or protein alone vaccination approaches. High levels of Env-specific antibody responses were elicited by both approaches. However, DNA prime-protein boost but not the protein alone immune sera contained significant levels of NAb against pseudotyped viruses expressing HIV-1 BC Env antigens. Furthermore, high frequencies of CD4 binding site-targeted antibodies were found in the DNA prime- protein boost rabbit sera indicating that the positive NAb may be the result of antibodies against conformationally sensitive epitopes on HIV-1 Env. The findings support that DNA prime-protein boost was effective in eliciting NAb against a key HIV-1 virus subtype in China. This result may lead to the development of regional HIV vaccines through this approach.Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics 10/2012; 8(11). DOI:10.4161/hv.21648 · 3.64 Impact Factor
Article: Removing N-Terminal Sequences in Pre-S1 Domain Enhanced Antibody and B-Cell Responses by an HBV Large Surface Antigen DNA Vaccine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although the use of recombinant hepatitis B virus surface (HBsAg) protein vaccine has successfully reduced global hepatitis B infection, there are still a number of vaccine recipients who do not develop detectable antibody responses. Various novel vaccination approaches, including DNA vaccines, have been used to further improve the coverage of vaccine protection. Our previous studies demonstrated that HBsAg-based DNA vaccines could induce both humoral and CMI responses in experimental animal models. However, one form of the the HBsAg antigen, the large S antigen (HBs-L), expressed by DNA vaccine, was not sufficiently immunogenic in eliciting antibody responses. In the current study, we produced a modified large S antigen DNA vaccine, HBs-L(T), which has a truncated N-terminal sequence in the pre-S1 region. Compared to the original HBs-L DNA vaccine, the HBs-L(T) DNA vaccine improved secretion in cultured mammalian cells and generated significantly enhanced HBsAg-specific antibody and B cell responses. Furthermore, this improved HBsL DNA vaccine, along with other HBsAg-expressing DNA vaccines, was able to maintain predominantly Th1 type antibody responses while recombinant HBsAg protein vaccines produced in either yeast or CHO cells elicited mostly Th2 type antibody responses. Our data indicate that HBsAg DNA vaccines with improved immunogenicity offer a useful alternative choice to recombinant protein-based HBV vaccines, particularly for therapeutic purposes against chronic hepatitis infection where immune tolerance led to poor antibody responses to S antigens.PLoS ONE 07/2012; 7(7):e41573.

Article: Polyvalent DNA Vaccines Expressing HA Antigens of H5N1 Influenza Viruses with an Optimized Leader Sequence Elicit Cross-Protective Antibody Responses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (HPAI) H5N1 viruses are circulating among poultry populations in parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and have caused human infections with a high mortality rate. H5 subtype hemagglutinin (HA) has evolved into phylogenetically distinct clades and subclades based on viruses isolated from various avian species. Since 1997, humans have been infected by HPAI H5N1 viruses from several clades. It is, therefore, important to develop strategies to produce protective antibody responses against H5N1 viruses from multiple clades or antigenic groups. In the current study, we optimized the signal peptide design of DNA vaccines expressing HA antigens from H5N1 viruses. Cross reactivity analysis using sera from immunized rabbits showed that antibody responses elicited by a polyvalent formulation, including HA antigens from different clades, was able to elicit broad protective antibody responses against multiple key representative H5N1 viruses across different clades. Data presented in this report support the development of a polyvalent DNA vaccine strategy against the threat of a potential H5N1 influenza pandemic.PLoS ONE 12/2011; 6(12):e28757.

Article: Intramuscular delivery of a cholera DNA vaccine primes both systemic and mucosal protective antibody responses against cholera[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cholera is a potentially lethal diarrhea disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The need for an effective cholera vaccine is clearly indicated but the challenges of eliciting both systemic and mucosal immune responses remains a significant challenge. In the current report, we discovered that a DNA vaccine expressing a protective cholera antigen, cholera toxin B subunit (CTB), delivered parenterally can elicit both systemic and mucosal anti-CTB antibody responses in mice. The priming effect by DNA immunization was demonstrated by higher mucosal antibody responses following one boost with the inactivated cholera vaccine (KWC-B) delivered orally when compared to the twice oral administration of KWC-B alone. This finding indicates that DNA vaccines delivered parenterally are effective in eliciting mucosal protective immune responses--a unique advantage for DNA vaccination that has not yet been well realized and should bring value to the development of novel vaccination approaches against mucosally transmitted diseases.Vaccine 05/2009; 27(29):3821-30.

Article: Increased sensitivity for detecting avian influenza-specific antibodies by a modified hemagglutination inhibition assay using horse erythrocytes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay is a widely used serological method to measure the levels of protective antibody responses against influenza viruses. However, the traditional HI assay which uses chicken erythrocytes is not sufficiently sensitive for detecting HI antibodies specific to avian influenza viruses. Previously, it was demonstrated that employing an assay using horse erythrocytes was able to increase the sensitivity of HI assay. The current report describes further optimization of this modified HI assay. It was shown that this method was able to increase detection of HI activities in rabbit sera immunized with H5 HA antigens, and proved that this increased sensitivity is useful in dissecting the strain specificity of HI antibody responses. In addition, the modified HI assay using horse erythrocytes increased the sensitivity of detecting HI antibodies specific for three major serotypes of avian influenza viruses, H5, H7 and H9, in people who may have asymptomatic infection with avian influenza viruses. Based on these results, the optimized use of horse erythrocytes should be standard practice for detecting HI activities against avian influenza viruses.Journal of Virological Methods 10/2008; 153(1):43-8.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio is expected to return soon after recovering from his March surgery to repair his torn anterior-cruciate ligament, but he is not scheduled to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Rubio is not likely to make his season debut in Friday's game against New Orleans, either, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, because it is the first of back-to-back games. It means Saturday's game against Dallas is the likely target for Rubio's return to action. Rubio has been practicing with the team for a while.

Windows activation rant
I own three completely legitimate copies of Windows 7 (One ultimate, two professionals) and on my desktop (which runs ultimate) I've reformatted my computer too many times, (mainly due to the recent episode of having to swap motherboards out so many times recently) and now the last two times it has just flat out refused to activate online, saying my copy wasn't genuine. This meant I had to activate it over the phone.
Problem is, it doesn't make that option available to you immediately. I had to somehow fool it into letting me activate over the phone. I went through the steps of activating it over the phone, only for in the end, after entering that long string of stupid numbers which takes forever, it tells me that it can't validate my copy of windows and hangs up. So now I have to call back, not press anything for a while, until it asks me if I want to speak to a representative, and then say yes. Then I talk to the Indian, give him my numbers, and then he asks me how many computers I have it installed on. I tell him one. So he says ok and gives me a bunch of numbers blah blah and it's all activated.
This has happened to me twice now, and I have to do it a third time. It's such a manual process that it's too much of a pain in the ass, so I just found and installed a SLIC key loader. It's pretty bad when it's easier to use illegitimate tools to activate (which work every bit as good) than go through the legitimate process.

A GROUP of mice have returned to Earth after the longest mission any animal has endured in space. The mice were floating around for 91 days to test a way to prevent the breakdown of bone.
Different types of bone cell either build bone up or break it down. For weight-bearing bones, breakdown cells become more active when there is no impact on the bone, such as in microgravity. "Astronauts experience around 20 to 30 per cent bone loss," says Sara Tavella at the University of Genoa in Italy.
Astronauts exercise and take calcium supplements to limit damage, but it is very difficult to return the bone to its original state back on Earth, says Tavella.
To examine other options, her team sent six mice up to the International Space Station. Three of the mice were genetically modified to produce extra pleiotrophin (PTN) - a protein involved in bone development.
The mice with extra PTN were protected from the breakdown of bone - losing only 3 per cent of the volume of their spine compared with a 41.5 per cent decrease in the normal mice (PLoS One, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0033179).
The protein treatment could be investigated for use in astronauts preparing for space, says Tavella.

Among the nation's 50 states, North Carolina experienced the biggest increase in the proportion of people living in high-poverty areas between 2000 and 2010, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report.The growing number of North Carolinians living in disadvantaged neighborhoods is problematic because they face restricted access to the jobs, education, and networks that can improve their financial standing.The new report signals the need for policymakers to focus on the investments and policies that support ladders of opportunity, from Murphy to Manteo, to all North Carolinians.
The report defined high-poverty areas as places that have poverty rates of 20 percent or higher. The federal poverty level for a family of 4 is stingy, a mere $23,550—which is far lower than the $52,275 needed to make ends meet in North Carolina, per the Budget and Tax Center's 2014 Living Income Standard. And, the 2010 data reflects the 2008-2012 five-year average.
The extent of people (poor and non-poor) living in high-poverty areas is far worse in North Carolina than in the nation, according to the report. In 2010, 31.8 percent of all North Carolinians lived in high-poverty areas compared to 25.7 percent of all Americans. If you're poor, however, the chances of also living in high-poverty areas are far higher: more than 1 in 2 poor North Carolinians live in high-poverty areas—a concept known as the "double burden."
In the entire nation, the share of people (poor and non-poor) living in high-poverty areas grew the fastest in North Carolina from 2000 to 2010, jumping 17.9 percentage points (see graphic below). Read More

27 year old man | Jacksonville, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 20 miles
I am allergic to average people. Be Amazing as God intended you to be!
I am a hard working individual that takes pride in every endeavor in which I pursue. I am a recent college graduate trying to find my place in this world. I am very much so deep into my career, I studied engineering in college and I plan on obtaining my MBA in a couple years after I accrue more work experience. Outside of work I am a spoken word poet, I love performing and take advantage of any opportunity to do so. I am also trying to learn how to play the piano and become a better sketch artist. I love to work out and school folks on the basketball court when I have the time. I am a huge fan of hip-hop, r&b and old school r&b, or as I like to call it soul music. I'm from the Detroit area so Motown Records was all I heard about growing up. My favorite rapper is Tupac Shakur, favorite singer is Musiq Soulchild and my favorite old school singer is Stevie Wonder. These are all artist that I know did it more for the love of music and portraying their thoughts than the glitz and glamor of the music industry. Overall, I just love to have a good time and take advantage of any and all opportunities to smile. Life is, at the end of the day a composition of our memories, why not try our best to make sure those memories are as breathtaking as possible. As author Hilary Cooper stated, "Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take but the moments that take our breath away.

Very Liberal
I just recently moved to Jacksonville but from what I have seen so far I have enjoyed checking out the beaches and the bars by the beach. I also enjoyed taking a walk through the parks and kayaking.
I am a big fan of well written and directed movies that have some kind of meaning behind them that you can apply to life. I am a huge hip-hop fan (real hip-hop of course, not mainstream) it is a great form of expression if used properly.
I love working out and playing a good game of basketball during my free time. I also am trying to learn how to play the piano. Most of all I love spoken word poetry and performing it. I am always looking for a new spot to perform at.
I just started reading Sun Tzu: The Art of War. Going through college if it wasn't a text book I didn't want to read. Now that I'm done with school I want to start reading more often for leisure.

Volkswagen Passat Accessories & Parts
Volkswagen's smooth midsize sedan has been on the scene for over 35 years, providing drivers around the world with a stylish, reliable machine that delivers an upscale feel. The first series of the Volkswagen Passat rolled off the line in 1973 and shared many traits with the Audi 80, the main difference being the "fastback" body style. Built off of the B1 platform (along with the Audi 80), it was powered by a 1.3L 4-cylinder engine and came in either a 4-speed manual transmission or 3-speed automatic. The Passat made a quick impression on the industry, being named Car of the Year (1974) by Wheels magazine, allowing VW to use the positive press in its marketing of the vehicle. Changes came in 1977, most notably different shaped headlights (round or rectangular) and an upgraded interior. A diesel version of the Volkswagen Passat appeared a few years later in 1978 and in 1979, a fuel-injected 1.6L Passat GLI was introduced. In the US and Canada, the model was known as the Dasher and came in either a hatchback or station wagon. The US VW Dasher had standard headlights, a 1.5L regular inline 4-cylinder, or Bosch fuel-injected 1.6L 4-cylinder engine.
In 1981, the second generation of the Passat was designed off of the B2 platform. It was front or four wheel drive and slightly longer than the previous edition of the car. The body style was still familiar, only this time rectangular headlights were used. The model was also called the Quantum in North America, where it would be available as a three-door hatchback, four-door sedan, or station wagon. The three-door hatchback version of the Quantum only lasted a year stateside. The third generation of the Volkswagen Passat hit Europe in 1988 but it wouldn't hit US shores until 1990. The exterior parts were now more aerodynamic, featuring smooth lines. This also marked the first time the car was sold under the Passat name in North America. Engine options were similar to the second generation, however VW debuted with a 2.8L VR6 for the first time in the Passat GLX/GLS models as well as a supercharged G60 engine for Canada's Syncro edition.
The fourth generation VW Passat saw a return to a front-end grille as well as the introduction of airbags and other safety features. Volkswagen wanted to make the model more palatable to families as well as drivers in search of upscale style. A new Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine was now offered, giving it a fuel efficiency rating of 45 miles per gallon (US). In Europe, all trim levels were available (L, CL, GL, GT and VR6), but the US was only privy to three: GLS, GLX and TDI, with the GLX housing the 2.8L V46 engine. With the fifth series of the Passat, the design is based off of the B5 platform and debuted in 1998 in the US. Once again, it bore a resemblance to an Audi, this time the A4. It was front-wheel drive and engine choices varied upon model. 2004 brought the 2.0L Turbocharged Direct Injection diesel engine to the US, making it the only one of its kind offered in America. Now in its sixth generation, the Passat is still going strong. Fuel Stratified Injection is available in the gas engine versions of the car. A 2.0L turbocharged inline-four is the entry trim level engine and an Audi 1.8 TSI version with a 6-speed automatic was introduced in the winter of 2008.
The VW Passat is a uniquely functional and pleasurable automobile that just keeps getting better. A nice fusion of luxury and economy make up a big part of the Passat story. The Passat offers roomy comfort, refined handling, solid auto parts, and modern amenities, allowing its drivers to cruise with confidence and pleasure. It has enough of a kick to pump through the terrain and gallop past the traffic, but it is the smooth nature of the overall ride why so many have fallen in love with it. Volkswagen Passat Accessories and parts can dress the model for emitting a deliciously inviting style from top to bottom.

Small change, big effort
Fundraiser to help homeless women locally
Sometimes small change can add up to bigger sums. That's why Faith Mission is launching The Small Change project — Have a Heart for the Homeless.
It's an effort to raise money for the Faith Refuge, the new facility for homeless women and women with children.
Faith Mission is providing metal cans to students, church groups, businesses or any other groups or individuals interested in collecting spare change for the cause.
People can use their own talents or inspirations to decorate the cans. The mission has about 300 cans available at the moment.
Already cans are decorated and in place at the Polka Dot Penguin, Storkland and Harvest Drug businesses.
This is the second year for the effort, which last year raised about $15,000. The money raised should be turned in before May 1.
Faith Refuge is being built at 710 Hatton Road. The $3 million facility will be 24,000 square feet and will include dormitory space for 50 or more individual women and eight family units. Funding was secured for construction and initial operating expenses, but several fundraisers have helped raise money for other expenses.
Anyone interested in receiving cans can contact Faith Mission at 940-723-5663.

OpenSuse 10.2: November Deadline for Updates
On the OpenSuse announcement board, Marcus Meissner stated that as of November 30. 2008, official support for OpenSuse 10.2 will end. After that, Novell/the OpenSuse Project will provide no further security updates for Version 10.2.
Anyone looking for the OpenSuse 10.2 distribution on the Suse FTP servers after this date will find the file: /pub/suse/discontinued, although to save space, the file will be unavailable on most mirrors. The update file: /pub/suse/update/10.2, will also lead to: /pub/suse/discontinued, once the last updates have been released.
Unlike its Enterprise products, for which Novell promises at least five years support, maintenance for OpenSuse versions terminates two years after publication. OpenSuse 10.2 began in November 2006. Support for version 10.3 will run until October 31., and the latest version, 11.0 will have Novell support until June 30. 2010.

Really, really good comment on an older post, "The Problems With Half-Working." This is by Zack Maril -
Yesterday I went through a similar situation; I realized that I was basically done with a major proposal for a project except for an optional component. I have over a month before it is all scheduled to be reviewed, and most of the zest I have for the project has gone away when I realized that I had already done most of what I needed to do. All that is left is an admittedly tricky technical problem.
I would like to get it all done though, so I plan on using one of Feynmann's stories for dealing with burn out:
He had just gotten done with some big project(s) and was feeling way down. He had pushed hard and gotten some good results, but somehow along the way he had lost his drive to get anything worthwhile done. He noticed that he was letting the little stuff, like teaching and paperwork, take up a big part of his life but he couldn't bring himself to work on the "big" ideas like everybody expected him to.
This went on for a few weeks and it was really starting to irk him. He was in the cafeteria eating a meal and not really doing anything of significance when a few students walked by. One of them was tossing an empty plate up in the air. Feynmann saw the plate and starting asking himself, "How could I parameterize the path of one of the molecules in that plate?" He sat down with a napkin and spent the rest of the night accounting for the plate's lateral/rotational movement as well as the wobble that was introduced by the uneven launch.
The next morning, he felt like he was back. Something had changed. He credited the change with the fact that he had done good work on a problem that he wanted to work on, even though the work didn't really seem to go anywhere.
It seems like when you are feeling lazy, the best thing to do is gain momentum by working on a hard problem that you want, but maybe not have, to work on and then see how you feel afterwards. My plan is to just mess around with the code and try to do some stuff that I have been excited about for a long time and see where it gets me.
So, I was thinking that's an awesome comment and quite pleased Zack shard it, when he left a second comment an hour later -
Just thought you might want to know:
It worked! I started doing something unrelated to my techie problem and I found/saw the answer to my original problem within two minutes. Although it is not quite done yet, the hardest part is finished. My apologies for commenting so verbosely before.
Awesome, awesome stuff :) Thanks for sharing, Zack.
Again, way cool you put this up.
Saw this http://denis.papathanasiou.org/?p=438 on hacker news.
It provides the actual story and quote I was thinking of when I wrote those comments.
I totally understand the feeling one gets after just finishing up a huge problem. The brain feels totally mushed. It is really hard to get into the mood to begin the next project, even when it is beginning another software development project.
I would just like to add that if you are speaking of the great physicist Richard Feynman, I have read most of his books and I love his enthusiasm of life. If you really want to get in the mood to see the world in a different perspective, go on YouTube and look his small interview up he did with BBC (I believe). It's called, "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out".
My friend Joshua Spodek was kind enough to write about his experiences building out public art exhibitions. One of the lessons he has is counterintuitive - that it can be a faster path to success to get large art projects off the ground than it is to work your way slowly through the art world. Here's Josh -
Art can be an insular field and breaking in is a common challenge, so I'd like to share it with a community that values success and victory. I hope there are insights others can use and share too.
My background is in science and entrepreneurship, but I've developed a passion for making art. I'm not content with just creating it -- like any artist I want exposure and recognition (sales aren't bad either).
The challenge is that New York's art world is notoriously xenophobic and tends to promote from within. My credentials -- a PhD in astrophysics and a company running for over a decade -- mean little to them. Even making great art only gives a foot in the door.
I have a huge challenge that my work doesn't photograph at all and video doesn't capture it that well. When galleries take an interest in my work, a version this conversation happens:
My post before this was a kind of therapy / Buddhism / personal growth kind of deal, but I also spend a lot of time thinking about how to run effective teams and to be a responsible, thoughtful manager of people. It is my work: I am a lead engineer at Bungie, an independent video game developer of about 300 employees (though not for long, we're growing.) There are some unique aspects to making videogames, and I'll use game development terminology here as I refer to, say, texture artists or sound designers or programmers, but when I talk to friends in different creative industries - film, industrial design, other software development - I find these themes are pretty universal.
If you're going to manage people, you're going to have a lot of conversations about employee performance. It's just bound to happen. Sometimes, like during reviews, it might seem excessive. You might wonder if's worth all the time it takes. It is. It's OK that you spend a bunch of time on this. As a manager, that is your job. It's your job to have well-formed opinions about how you evaluate people and how you work with them to help them grow. If you aren't spending time on that, then you may be succeeding as a leader, but probably not as a manager. Apples and oranges.
It is, however, important to spend this time well. During conversations about performance, everything you talk about should boil down to one thing: the value they contribute to the team. What is their value, and how can they become more valuable?
I find a lot of review conversations tend to focus on strengths, weaknesses, and specific work results. These seem like reasonable topics, and there's value there, but I also find this often leads to a review that looks like this:

The first synagogue to take root in North America more than 350 years ago was Congregation Shearith Israel. This community of Sephardic Jews hailing from the Spanish-Portuguese community came with their deeply held beliefs of how the world works, how communities are formed and how they are maintained and began to earnestly set out to repeat that pattern on the shores of the Atlantic. Yet, something was very different here than it was in any other context that the Jews had lived in before. The … [Read more...]

"She is standing in front of the Ark, the Ark is open, and she is babbling and gesturing wildly," he was told. "She seems to be mentally imbalanced. Perhaps you can go in and help her.

the 40th overall (sandwich round) pick of the Braves in the 2008 draft was just released by the Braves. DeVall is 21 years old and has a career 3.92 ERA, although he has been limited to 160 IP in Class A over the last two years due to elbow troubles.
My guess is, like another former HS sandwich round pick, his elbow has to be in pretty bad shape for them to cut bait so soon. I'd like to at least bring the kid in for a physical. If we're going to keep Lotzkar around, might as well get a left-handed Lotzkar as well. Certainly no worse than a lottery ticket at this point.

Wash. Post Plays Hate-The-Rich-Republicans With Graphic Chart
-By Warner Todd Huston
On Wednesday morning the Washington Post's Aaron Blake posted an infographic that was a perfect example of how one can use a graphic chart to influence the public in subtle ways, ways that we of the center right better start employing in our own efforts if we want to win over the public.
Blake's post, "Why People Hate Congress," fits in well with President Obama's class warfare rhetoric as employed in his campaign to set different economic classes against each other in a desperate and cynically populist bid to get reelected next year. There is little of substance to Blake's post other than to fan the flames of the sort of hatred that he wants to see grow in order to aid Obama in 2012.
The Post's Blake also ended up having to pull the graphic off his The Fix blog post because it simply did not illustrate what he claimed it did in his story — but that is another issue that we'll deal with at the end of this report.
Blake begins his piece asking, "Want to know why Americans hate Congress?" He then goes on to claim it is in part because our elected representatives in Washington D.C. are members of the eeeevil rich.
The fact that members of Congress are getting richer (and 57 members come from the top 1 percent, according to USA Today) confirms what Americans suspect about the people who are running this country: that they don't empathize with normal people.
Of course, with a dispassionate application of logic, having a few dollars more than the next guy does not ipso facto make the richer guy so out of touch that he cannot empathize with anyone in a lower salary range. Only those filled with hate make this assumption. Empathy has nothing to do with class, money, or politics. It has to do with one's character.
Further there are plenty of members of Congress with the character to understand and have empathy with others. Then there are some that don't. People are people, rich or poor.
It is also telling that even Blake admits that Congress has always been filled with "the rich." The founders were not groveling in poverty, after all. It often takes a person that has achieved a certain place in society to become elected. I mean, should they be elected, how can anyone expect "the poor" or even the lower middle class to afford to fund homes both in D.C. and back in their district? Who can afford to leave their family and business if half the year off more to fly off the D.C. to attend to government business? And with the costs of elections and the Byzantine election laws these days causing many candidates to self fund, it will only be natural that "the rich" end up being our representatives in Congress.
But special attention has to be paid to the graphic Blake used to illustrate his story. And what a masterwork of subtlety it is. Blake claimed that the illustration made by a well-known hate-the-rich researcher from California showed in graphic form the distribution of wealth among both chambers of Congress. The graphic depicts the "top 1%" and the "next 9%" in the color red. Then it uses blue to show the "following 10%" and the "bottom 80%." Notice what is going on? That's right, this graphic uses the color red to depict the eeevil rich. And what is the color red in politics these days? None other than the color the Old Media has assigned to the Republican Party.
This graphic is a great illustration of the way the left influences the emotions of the viewer toward their positions. George Scoville puts it perfectly in his post about this graphic.
If you don't make your living thinking strategically about political communications, this might not have jumped out at you. But this is a very clever and very deceptive messaging tactic. If Democrats… are going to use this type of tactic, then Republicans and pro-liberty advocacy organizations need to take a page from this playbook quickly. We certainly can't rely on the media to apply the kind of scrutiny that pulls back the curtain for casual political observers.
Exactly right. We on the right don't think of this type of messaging often enough.
Then there is the rest of this story. In truth, the graphic that Blake claimed illustrated the riches of Congress directly, in fact did not. It actually meant to illustrate the wealth distribution of all Americans as a percentage of Congress.
A little later on Wednesday morning, Aaron Blake removed the graphic and issued this mea culpa:
This post initially used a chart that included data that we and others misunderstood. It did not reflect the wealth of Congress, but instead the wealth of the country, described according to numbers of seats in Congress. The Fix regrets the error.
Ooops. I guess the facts were "too good to check for the good folks at the Washington Post."
But wait. Don't get upset at Mr. Blake too quickly. After all, this graphic stirred the liberal heart. A quick glance makes viewers imagine that it is showing the number of eeevil Republicans compared to the nice, poor Democrats in Congress. In fact, that is precisely the emotion that the graphic is intended to evoke. So, we can fault Mr. Blake for not looking close enough at the graphic to discern its statistical facts, but we cannot fault him for having instantly grasped the subliminal message it was intended to relay. The fact is, the graphic woks beautifully.
These are the sort of tactics the left employs, folks. We'd best become hip to them fast.
