A method for defining and executing customized canned cycles for a numerically controlled machine in which the end user or original equipment manufacturer can define a sequence of actions or tasks to do precisely what a particular application warrants. The customized sequence of tasks can be subsequently edited or modified or desired. A set of executable tasks capable of being carried out by a machine are defined with an assigned number associated with each task. The desired customized sequence to be performed by a canned cycle command code is entered by the user into memory. A part program containing the command code is loaded into the computer numerical control. The command code is processed to retrieve the desired customized sequence of tasks from memory. The desired tasks are then executed in sequence to cause the commanded action in the controlled machine.
1. A method for defining and executing canned cycles in a computer numerical controlled machine comprising the steps of:
(a) defining a set of executable tasks cable of being carried out by a machine, with an assigned number for each task;
(b) entering into memory the assigned numbers representing a desired customized sequence of tasks for a particular canned cycle command code;
(c) loading a part program into the computer numerical control having a canned cycle command code corresponding to the customized sequence entered into memory;
(d) processing the canned cycle command code to retrieve the customized sequence entered into memory; and
(e) executing the desired tasks in sequence to cover the desired action in the controlled machine.
2. A method of defining and executing customized canned cycles in a computer numerical controlled machine comprising the steps of:
(a) defining a set of executable tasks capable of being carried out by the machine, with an assigned number for each task;
(b) assigning memory locations for storage of desired sequences of the defined executable tasks using the assigned numbers corresponding to the tasks;
(c) associating a section of the assigned memory location with each of a predetermined number of canned cycle command codes;
(d) entering into the section of the assigned memory location associated with a canned cycle command code the assigned numbers representing a desired customized sequence of tasks to be performed by that canned cycle command code;
(e) loading a part program into the computer numerical control having a canned cycle command code corresponding to a desired customized sequence entered into the assigned memory locations;
(f) processing the canned cycle command code to retrieve the desired customized sequence of tasks from memory; and
(g) executing the desired tasks in sequence to cause the desired action in the controlled machine.
This invention relates generally to computer numerical control for industrial machines and, more particularly, to a method of defining and executing customized canned cycles in a computer numerical controlled machine.
A computer numerical control responds to part program commands to perform the desired machining operation according to the part programming information contained in the part program. The part program contains part processing information which includes: The work holding method, location of clamps, fixtures, etc., the depth of cuts, sequence of cuts and feed rates and spindle speeds for various materials. Part programs comprise one or more compatible blocks programmed in the proper order to accomplish a machining operation corresponding to a pre-planned sequence or process. Each block is a set of simultaneously executable instructions such as:
Initializing blocks which cover data inputs (dimensional system), part location (relative to machine zero position), tooling set-up (tool data and offsets), feeds and speeds (types and maximums), and safe zones (areas where the tool cannot enter or areas where the tool cannot exit).
Non-cutting blocks (dwell, reference zero cycle, and rapid traverse) and Cutting blocks (linear and circular interpolation).
Canned cycles are routines that automatically generate multiple tool movements from a single block. A canned cycle may specify the type of operation (drilling, tapping), depth of cut, feed rate and the location where the operation is to take place.
Computer numerical control manufacturers provide canned cycles since they enable the numerical control part programmer to substantially reduce the programming effort and have the further advantage of reducing the required part program memory. While the part programmer may vary the size, shape, dwell time, and number of passes in a canned cycle, the cutting motions are fixed and predefined at the time the computer numerical control is built. Each customer or user has his own special applications for the various canned cycles and would like a different set of actions corresponding to his needs. Thus, the standard canned cycle satisfied very few customers completely. The term customer or user as used herein is intended to include the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) who purchases a computer numerical control to integrate together with his machine such as a machine tool, as well as the end user, the person who purchases the system from the OEM.
It is an object of the present invention to provide canned cycles for computer numerical control which can be customized by an OEM.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a computer numerical control with canned cycles which can be repeatedly changed to comprise different combinations of a large number of possible tasks by an end user.
In one aspect of the present invention a method for defining and executing customized canned cycles in a computer numerical control machine is provided. A set of executable tasks capable of being carried out by a machine are defined with an assigned number for each task. The desired customized sequence of tasks to be performed by a canned cycle command code is entered into memory. A part program having a canned cycle command code corresponding to the customized sequence entered into memory is then loaded into the computer numerical control. The canned cycle command code is next processed to retrieve the desired customized sequence of tasks from memory. The desired tasks are executed in sequence to cause a desired action in the controlled machine.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the present invention, the objects and advantages of the invention can be more readily ascertained from the following description of a preferred embodiment when used in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified, functional block diagram of a computer numerical control system;
FIG. 2 is a computer flow chart for defining and using customized canned cycles in a computer numerical control system in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a data flow representation of a computer numerical control system in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to the drawing and particularly FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a general purpose machine tool control system comprising a system bus 3 coupling a system central processing unit (CPU) 5, system memory 7, and axis controller 9. A local Input/Output (I/O) bus 11 couples non-volatile memory 13, such as magnetic bubble memory, local analog I/O 15, and local digital I/O 17. I/O controller 19 is coupled to the system bus 3 and local I/O bus 11. Coupled to the I/O controller by serial links are an NC control station 21 containing a keyboard and CRT, a program port 23 for coupling a tape reader, for example, and a machine control station 25 which is the machine tool operator's control panel. The system bus 3 and local I/O bus 11 are coupled to a machine tool 27.
The system CPU 5 performs processing for the execution of part programs and monitors and controls the interlocking and sequencing of machine tool operations. The system CPU can comprise Intel 8086 and 8087 microprocessors. The system memory 7 comprises random access memory.
I/O controller 19 manages system I/O bus 3 operation and serves to connect the system bus to the local I/O bus 11. I/O controller 19 comprises universal asynchronous receiver transmitter and a microprocessor. I/O controller 19 also functions as a direct memory access arbitor for the system memory.
At power-up, the system software contained in the bubble memory 13 is down-loaded from the bubble memory into the system memory 7. A part program can be input from an external device (for example, a paper tape or cassette reader) via the program port 23, or the ASCII keyboard of the N.C. Control Station 21. The part program is stored by the I/O controller 19 in nonvolatile memory 13. The part program is transferred into system memory. The computer numerical control operates under the control of the system CPU 5 executing programs which reside in the system memory. The system CPU directs the execution of part programs through the axis controller 9 and the analog and digital I/O controllers 15 and 17, respectively, which are all connected to the machine tool 27. Local digital I/O component 17 generates digitized actuator control signals and monitors the status of contact inputs. The local analog I/O component 15 enables the numerical control to control low precision servo driven devices. The axis controller 9 supplies variable dc voltage to axis feed drives contained in the machine tool to control axes and spindle movements. The axis controller is explained in further detail in copending application Ser. No. 415,507, filed Sept. 7, 1982 (now U.S. Pat. No. 4,515,814, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference) and assigned to the instant assignee.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the computer flow chart of FIG. 2 will be explained, as appropriate, with reference to the data flow diagram of FIG. 3. A set of single tasks is first defined with each task describing one action that can be performed in the customized canned cycle. The tasks include those which are in standardized canned cycles plus additional tasks to provide customized variations. Each task is assigned a unique number to correspond to its particular action. There is one-to-one mapping of the task to the numbers. Zero corresponds to the end of the cycle state.
A list of possible tasks, their associated number and a description of their actions are.
Task 00: End of Cycle
Task 00 is used to terminate each canned cycle and is mandatory.
Task 01: Rapid to R Plane
Task 01 causes the canned cycle axis to transverse to the defined R plane. The task is completed at the in-zone position unless immediately preceded by Task 20, in which case the move is completed at distance zero position.
Task 02: Start Spindle
Task 02 initiates a start spindle sequence at programmed speed and direction.
Task 03: Stop Spindle
Task 03 initiates a stop spindle sequence.
Task 04: Orient Spindle
Task 04 initiates a spindle orient sequence. The programmer must stop the spindle before calling this task unless the OEM has made spindle stop a part of his spindle orient sequence.
Task 05: Reverse Spindle Direction
Task 05 causes the spindle direction to reverse from the programmed direction.
Task 06: Off-Center Position
Task 06 allows the programmer to move a tool tip away from the work surface after a spindle orient sequence within a canned cycle. The purpose is to prevent tool marks on the work surface during tool retract or entry movements. A prerequisite of an off-center position movement is the spindle orient task 04. The off-center position is initiated by an task 06 in the canned cycle sequence and is removed by task 07.
Task 07: Remove Off-Center Position
Task 07 is identical to task 06, except that the spindle position is returned in the opposite direction to its original center position.
Task 08: Feed to Depth
Task 08 causes the canned cycle axis to travel to the programmed depth position at the programmed feedrate. Task is completed at in-zone position unless preceded by an task 20, distance zero position.
Task 09: Incremental Feeding
Incremental feeding, also called peck drilling, is used for deep hole drilling cycles. In deep hole drilling, the drill is retracted periodically to remove the chips from the drill. With the initiation of incremental feed, a total of 7 parameters may be programmed to adapt the incremental feed cycle to the required application.
Task 10, 11, 12, 13: Timers
Four timers are provided to allow the OEM customization of the canned cycle. Timer actions may be repeated within a cycle to increase the time delay.
Task 14, 15: Return to R Plane or To Initial Position G78 (G78 is G word for (Tool Retract to Prior Tool Position)
These tasks cause the canned cycle axis to return to the R plane, or, if G78 is active, to the initial position. G words are preparatory words used in part programming to provide set up information for various types of operations.
a. Task 14: Return to traverse rate.
b. Task 15: Return at programmed feedrate.
Task 16, 17: Return to Initial Position
These actions cause the canned cycle axis to return the tool to the position it occupied when the cycle was initially defined by G word. This initial position can be changed during repetition of the cycle if a new tool axis position is programmed in a G77 (Position Don't Drill) block. Initial position as used in tasks 16 and 17 is the same as the initial position used when G78 is programmed.
a. Task 16: Return at traverse rate.
b. Task 17: Return at programmed feedrate. Both actions complete at in-zone position.
Task 18: Programmed Spindle Direction
Task 18 causes the spindle to run in the programmed spindle direction.
Task 19: Turn on Operator's Feedhold
Task 19 causes the Machine Control Logic (MCL) to turn on the operator's feedhold. Machine Control Logic consists of a series of programs that allow an OEM to interface the computer numerical control to any type of machine tool. The MCL provides functions unique to a particular machine tool such as tool turret control, tool changes control, coolant control, gauging equipment and parts handlers. The operator's Feedhold pushbutton is illuminated, and all axis motion is stopped to allow the operator to remove chips, inspect the part, etc. The canned cycle will continue at the next step in the cycle when the operator, or the MCL, turns off the operator's feedhold.
Task 20: Distance Zero Move
Most canned cycle axis moves are completed when the axis reaches the in-zone position. Any canned cycle axis move (tasks 06, 07, 08, 14, 15, 16, 17) may be completed at the distance zero position if the move is immediately preceded by task 20. Task 20 applies only to the following task which causes an axis movement.
Task 21: Force 100% Manual Feedrate Override (MFO)
MFO is normally active for all canned cycle moves except G84. Any canned cycle axis move may be forced to 100% MFO if the move is preceded by task 21. Task 21 applies only to the next action causing an axis movement, then reverts to its previous condition.
Task 22: Initiate Appropriate Sequence in Machine Control Logic (MCL)
This is a command to the MCL to perform a special task that is appropriate at this step in the canned cycle. One or more task 22 steps may be used in a canned cycle sequence. Each time task 22 is encountered, the current step number is made available to the MCL for appropriate action. Typical use of this function might be to set clamps, turn on/off air or coolant, or initiate other machine functions.
Task 23: Force 100% Spindle Speed Override
This task initiates 100% Spindle Speed Override. Condition remains until cancelled by task 24.
Task 24: Stop 100% SSO
Task 24 cancels 100% SSO and returns spindle SSO to previous condition.
Task 25: Disable Feedhold
Task 25 disables all feedholds, whether operator or MCL initiated. Condition remains until cancelled by task 26. Any feedhold signal received while task 25 is active will be "remembered" and initiated when feedhold is enabled by task 26.
Task 26: Enable Feedhold
Task 26 cancels Disable Feedhold (task 25).
Task 27: Force 100% SSO Until Cycle Is Cancelled
Task 27 initiates 100% spindle speed override which remains active until the current canned cycle is cancelled.
Task 28: Programmable Dwell
Task 28 will insert a dwell in a cycle when parameter P3 is programmed. This action may not be programmed in the same cycle with task 09.
It is easy for the control manufacturer to add new tasks to the possible tasks listed above.
The next step is for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or end user to select a sequence of tasks associated with a particular command code for editing or creating a new program. In the present embodiment a maximum of 24 steps may be used to define a canned cycle and the machine manufacturer provides ten canned cycles with defined sequences which the OEM can choose to customize by using a support file editor after transferring the contents of the bubble memory to a host or direct numerical control (DNC) computer. An example of ten canned cycles supplied with the computer numerical control are as follows:
______________________________________G61 Through plate drilling cycleG81 Drilling cycleG82 Drilling cycle with dwellG83 Deep hole drilling cycleG84 Tapping cycleG85 Boring cycle with dwell, feedrate returnG86 Boring cycle with spindle stop, traverse returnG87 Case boring cycleG88 Bore with dwell, spindle orient, traverse returnG89 Reversed facing cycle (back boring)______________________________________Command StepCode 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16______________________________________ 17G61 01 20 08 14 00G81 01 08 14 00G82 01 08 10 14 00G83 01 09 11 14 00G84 27 01 25 21 20 08 05 21 15 26 18 00 00G85 01 08 10 15 00G86 01 08 10 03 14 02 00G87 01 20 08 00G88 01 08 10 03 01 06 14 07 02 00G89 03 04 06 01 07 02 08 10 15 03 04 06 16 07 02 00G80 Cancel G60/G80 cycles______________________________________
An end user can select a sequence of tasks associated with a particular command code by gaining access to the system memory locations where storage of defined sequences using the assigned numbers corresponding to the sequence of tasks is stored. A section of the assigned memory location is associated with each of the ten canned cycle command codes. The assigned memory locations are therefore ten arrays of tasks numbers, or a two dimensional array indexed by canned cycle command codes and the number order of the sequence of the tasks. In the present embodiment, a maximum of 24 steps may be used to define a canned cycle. The ten canned cycles are the cycles customized by the OEM or if not changed by the OEM then they're the standard canned cycles supplied by the control manufacturer.
The end user can perform step of editing by storing a customized task sequence associated with a particular command code to modify or completely change the canned cycle.
Referring to the data flow diagram in FIG. 3, the machine set up data (MSD) processing block 22, which is implemented in software, allows access to a portion of system memory allowing the end user to modify or completely change the sequence associated with a particular command code. MSD processor can store the changes made to the command code in the bubble memory so that the canned cycles will appear as customized when the control is again powered-up or cycle code called if power-up is not necessary. The end user edits the canned cycle using the MSD editor while the OEM uses a support file editor after transferring the contents of the bubble memory to a host or direct numerial control computer.
An explanation of the execution of a customized canned cycle will now be given with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Executing a program containing a customized canned cycle can be performed by entering a part program 24 from a part tape or from bubble memory and interpreting and processing the data strings contained in the part program in the Interpreter/Process Interpreter 25. Each block of data of the part program is checked for format errors, and other data such as parameters or information not pertaining directly to the canned cycle, such as a tool code. The checked block is then processed. If the block is a command code, it is recognized and the canned cycle module 29 is called. The canned cycle module performs the step of retrieving the first task defined by the custom canned cycle from memory 30. The canned cycle module 29 then generates output blocks into an axis record queue 35 by selecting the next task in the array and matching it with a valid task number and performs the conditions associated with each step. Most, but not all, of the cycle tasks cause data to be stored into generated axis record queue.
The block synchronization task 39 retrieves axis records from the axis record queue and sends appropriate commands to the axis controller 9 and machine control logic 41. The axis board and the MCL, in turn, respond with axis motion and MCL functions, such as coolant on, operator feedhold off, etc.
Although the method of defining and executing canned cycles is applicable with any type of computer numerical control, the implementation disclosed herein is particularly applicable for use with a Mark Century� 2000 CNC available from General Electric Company. The hardware architecture for the Mark Century 2000 CNC is shown in FIG. 1.
The foregoing describes a method for defining and using customized canned cycles in a computer numerical controlled machine where both the original equipment manufacturer and the end user can alter the canned cycles supplied by the controller manufacturer or completely redefine the canned cycles.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to one preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

continued The petition for referendum will require a larger initial push, requiring 25 percent of registered voters to sign the petition, rather than the 10 percent needed for the first vote.
Holderman said that he wanted a petition to come forward, which allows the dissolution plan to come under permissive referendum.
"The reason we wanted a petition to come in is because it gives the residents a chance for a second vote," Holderman said. "It was never our intent not to have a vote. We wanted to give them the chance to have the total say."
Holderman, who has stated his opposition to dissolution, said that he was happy that the dissolution committee process was coming to an end and that he felt it was an important part of the process.
"If we had not had this jump, we would have been in trouble," Holderman said.

Men Cleared Of Rape Charges
By KRWG News
Alamogordo – Two men accused of kidnapping and raping a 24-year-old mother of three have been acquitted by a jury in Alamogordo.
Mark Jackson and James T. Manning were facing up to 70 years in prison if the Otero County jury had not exonerated them on Friday.
The Alamogordo Daily News reported that the men were charged with eight felonies each for the alleged April 2009 incident. Jackson is 39 and Manning is 25 years old.
Twelfth Judicial District Attorney Diana Martwick said the victim did not immediately report the alleged assult but that prosecutors believed her story.
Defense lawyer Todd Holmes says his clients had to "go on the offensive and prove their innocence."

Kent State Planetarium Presents "The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence"Posted Feb. 11, 2013
Kent State University's Planetarium will present "The Search for Extraterrestrial Life," on Friday, Feb. 15, Saturday, Feb. 16, and Friday, Feb. 22. During the presentations, audience members will explore celestial objects in Ohio's night sky that may contain extraterrestrial life, and the presenter will describe stories of attempts to communicate with intelligent life in other worlds.
This presentation takes place every year, but organizer and director of the Planetarium, Brett Ellman, says he tries to put a new spin on each year's show.
"Almost every modern astronomer believes there is life elsewhere and quite possibly intelligent life," says Ellman. "I talk about the way people for hundreds of years have been thinking about life elsewhere in the universe."
The hour-long presentation is available three nights this year, and it is free and open to the public.
"I want the audience to enjoy themselves and appreciate how beautiful the universe is," says Ellman. "It's an entertainment thing. It's for fun. It's very popular with children."
Children six and older are encouraged to attend and to bring a drawing of what they think a space creature looks like, or they can create one at the show, says Ellman.
"I want children and adults to get a sense of fascination."
Seating is limited, so reservations are recommended. Reservations are being accepted now by calling 330-672-2246. For more information, visit http://planetarium.kent.edu/.

Lydia Howell: Now is the time for Americans to re-set our moral compass and demand an end to and accountability for torture of prisoners in the "war on terrorism" — at Guantanamo or at the remaining "black sites" in allied countries.
Militarization of Indian Country
Georgianne Nienaber: The Militarization of Indian Country examines in dreadful detail how the military has poisoned, murdered, and exterminated parts of indigenous populations. It is carefully organized into sections examining the deep ties between the military and indigenous people, how the economy drives the military and vice-versa, the military's appropriation of Indian lands, and a somewhat hopeful prognosis for future relations if America rethinks her priorities.
'Unprovoked' Attacks, From 1812 to 9/11
Ivan Eland: American history vindicates the old saying that "truth is the first casualty of war," but the passage of time should allow a republic to undertake a more honest and dispassionate examination of historical events. It rarely does, with truth being swept under the rug in favor of assuming uncaused indignities.

Good evening,
I am very happy to see people reading my posts. And I love your comments: it is fantastic!
Today I will continue to talk about myself: my background, my tastes and my wishes.
I am from the working class. I was born and raised in a small city called Cherbourg in the countryside in Normandy known for its nuclear waste treatment plant (the best one in Europe!) and the cows. Until my twenties, Caen and (of course) Paris were big cities. I came for the first time in Paris at the age of 18 years old. Oh imagine! I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time : so good!!!
I know that public housing does not have a good reputation in Melbourne. Sorry but I lived all my childhood and my teenage years in a renting public housing flat. And my parents still do.
I am really a "pleupleu" in term of music and cinema. I love the 80′s French commercial music, american TV series and movies. This is an example of a French clip with Didier Barbelivien and Felix Gray. Note the mullet of the singers.
I love listening to French radios (with 100% French commercial music) like MFM radio or Nostalgie. If I meet a French famous person in the street, I WANT an autograph. In Melbourne, I do not know who the famous and the wannabes are. So it is ok except once when someone told me that a mum was famous at my playgroup and I felt very awkward to talk to her afterwards. I know it is stupid but this is my "pleupleu" attitude.
To conclude, I will give you a couple of French slangs about redneck: pleupleu, plouc, péquenaud, ou beauf.
Très bonne soirée,

Youngsters lose out
by Stuart Vose
Young Black Cats lose to United.
Manchester United U18 2 Sunderland U18 0
Neville Pilkington
Sunderland suffered defeat at the hands of Manchester United, going down 2-0 at Carrington.
The Wearsiders gave away possession too easily during the first half, with the home side on top.
Sunderland fell behind after 20 minutes when a defensive header back to keeper Joel Dixon fell short and was intercepted and turned over the line.
Sunderland replied with Ross Holland just unable to reach a cross which was cleared away with the goal gaping.
The second period opened with the young Black Cats showing much-improved form.
Mikael Mandron forced a good save and Callum Hope was through with a one-on-one but saw the ball just flash over the top.
It was all Sunderland in the final period but they were caught on the break for a killer second goal two minutes from time.
Coach Craig Liddle said afterwards: "We didn't get started for an hour, but for the last 30 minutes we piled on the pressure.
"It was so disappointing to be caught on the break a couple of minutes from time. We just gave them too much respect for the first 60 minutes of the game."
Sunderland: Dixon (Maddison, 80), Reece Noble, Lane, Cartwright, Gibbons, Burn, Holland (Lawson, 55), Martin, Mandron, Hope, Honeyman (Gooch, 70).

Godfather's Pizza: The house that Herman Cain saved
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, has embraced the "pizza magnate" tag, claiming he turned around the company while it was on the brink of bankruptcy. TBD photographer Josh Yospyn went to the D.C.'s area's nearest Godfather's location to find out what this business is all about.
"I thought it was the price of a pizza when I first heard about it," quipped former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman when asked about Herman Cain's "9-9-9" economic plan during the Oct. 11 Republican presidential debate. A Godfather's single-topping medium pizza goes for $9.99 here.

Facebook Limits Branded Reach… Again | #SYSK
Yahoo Jumps on Video
In an effort to compete against YouTube, Yahoo plans to premiere a rival video service later this summer. With YouTube's 1 billion unique monthly visitors and thousands of advertisers, how can revenue-stagnant Yahoo differentiate its newest video initiative? While many features of the new product will be similar to what's currently offered on YouTube (individual channel pages, hosting, embeddable video, etc.), it's the company's promise of fixed advertising rates and generous revenue splitting that would potentially set it apart to marketers and video creators alike. As Yahoo works out the details of future contracts and promotion, we can only hope this effort will be less disappointing than its 2013 logo redesign.
Facebook Limits Branded Reach, Again
Facebook's habit of constantly changing News Feed algorithms has become commonplace for users and advertisers. But marketers should be concerned over Facebook's latest change, announced Tuesday. Now, stories that are shared implicitly by third parties or apps will receive a lower ranking in the News Feed. Because explicitly shared stories get more engagement and are usually "more interesting," according to Facebook, it plans to prioritize them over automatically shared ones. This change is in direct opposition to Facebook's strategy of "frictionless sharing" announced a couple of years ago, that made it easier for users to share activities, and made it more possible for brands to achieve reach on Facebook.
Twitter's Slowing Year-Over-Year US User Growth
Ambitious Twitter execs had been anticipating their netowrk would reach 400 million users by 2013. However, a recent report by eMarketer suggests that number will actually be met closer to 2018, and that future U.S. growth will eventually taper off into the single digits. Whoops! So perhaps their estimations were just a little off. The question is, what exactly is causing Twitter's growth (at least within the United States) to plateau? The answer isn't clear, but Digiday points to the constant comparisons made between it and Facebook, the only other publicly traded social media company. While Twitter is showing strong growth in emerging markets, it will have some catching up to do: Facebook is predicted to continue to lead in advertising revenue, audience size, growth rates and user penetration.

Steve Lawrence, Mesa, Arizona
Steve says: "Modeling a 21st Century Models 1/18 scale Focke-Wulf 190D-9, I built in as much scale realism as I could fit. I scratchbuilt most of the landing-gear bays and cockpit, and I added lots of little details, such as windscreen de-icers, aluminum gun/cannon barrels, wire antenna, and a Plexiglas gunsight. I also had decals custom-made by Red Pegasus. The plane is modeled after that of Werner Hohenberg of JG 2. I invested somewhere around 300 hours in the makeover and had a ball doing it. Can't wait to try another!"
Nice finish and painat job. It gives me hope for my future FW 190 and TA 150 projects.
Beautiful build!
i think i would like to see the detail in the cockpit and the wheel wells. The finish is absolutely impeccable.
Hi Guys! "Thanks" for the nice comments! Not sure if we are allowed to do this but I'll add a couple of pics here... Hope you enjoy the pics...
See you in the Forums! :)
Outstanding work. The closer one looks, the better it gets. Excellent scratch built details.

The notion of a world in which unfettered free markets exist is, well, quixotic. Similarly, the notion of a world in which personal finances and private companies are micromanaged is, well, absurd.
Wall Street is inhabited by wildly intelligent people, yet some are naive enough to regard such individuals as magnanimous and innocuous. Main Street is inhabited by average investors, many of whom enter the market fully aware of the inherent risk involved, yet desirous of wealth. Why should the government reward the cupidity of fools ?
My diatribe has nothing to do with Greece, but I've noticed that each thread pertaining to finance succumbs to a similar fate: simplistic, ideologically based skirmishes.

Valentine's Day represents a day of love and expressions of love towards others. However, it seems like a difficult task of finding the appropriate gifts for your loved ones. Men especially have difficulty buying gifts for their Valentines'. I have asked over a dozen men their views on the day of Love. Their perception was who cares about Valentine's Day. So I think it's necessary to present an idea or simple gesture that shows someone you love them.
I know what you maybe thinking, "Valentine's Day tips?" No, the idea I will state will be something you can do all year if you like. I must admit as a young black man, I am guilty of giving a gift in a very dry and unemotional manner. As I got older, I began to realize women wanted to "feel" the Love instead of just getting a mere gift. Doing a little more than presenting a gift will make a lasting impression on your Valentine.
The giant bouquet of roses is a nice place to start. But, Instead of giving them in a dry manner or having them delivered, drop them off in person. If your Valentine works or attends school, then schedule a lunch date and offer to pick them up. Take the time to pick out the best bouquet of roses, flowers, or other gifts that you know they will like. Be on time to your lunch date, actually be early. Stand out front confidently with your gift and await their arrival. When you are face to face with them, simply state the following. "Love, I appreciate you."
Showing someone appreciation is very important to the success of our families and communities. Appreciation is one attribute that you can practice everyday and everywhere. Including in our own neighborhoods. One neighbor appreciates another by offering fellowship or family gatherings. Appreciation is at the very root of what Valentine's day means.
Honestly, I do agree with the 365 days-a-year approach to Valentine's day. Appreciate someone everyday and in return be appreciated. Accept people for who they are and appreciate who they are at the same time. Bosses can say thank you for being great employees everyday. You can see the positive affects of appreciation by looking at Google Inc. and Apple Inc. Both companies go above and beyond to show their employees that they care. Which is why they both have waiting list for employment opportunites.
Jacksonians appreciating other Jacksonians is how we should start Valentine's Day. We should end the social segregation in our city. Because, we all possess special talents, skills and gifts. If we give them in appreciation to our city, we could fix some of our City's issues. I appreciate Jackson, so I help, and I appreciate other Jacksonians for what they do for me. So Happy Valentine's Day Jackson! I really appreciate you.

RENO, Nev. (March 1) - The New Mexico State women's basketball team fell 68-56 at Nevada Wednesday afternoon inside the Lawlor Events Center.
Aggie senior Kelsie Rozendaal smashed her career high in the contest with 20 points, scoring six of the team's first eight points in the game as NM State sprinted out to an early 8-3 advantage. Rozendaal topped her previous career high of 15 set earlier this season at UMKC on Jan. 4.
Despite building an early lead the Aggies trailed at the half 37-28 to the Wolf Pack. The Pack stretched the lead to 14 early in the second half but NM State put together a 21-8 run over the next 10 minutes to cut the Nevada lead to one, 50-49, with nine minutes remaining.
But the Aggies could not capitalize on opportunities to tie or take the lead as Nevada outscored NM State 14-4 down the stretch to claim the victory.
Rozendaal's 20 points led all scorers in the game. Freshman guard Hannah Womack added 10 off the bench for NM State. Senior Tabytha Wampler just missed her ninth double-double of the season with nine points and 11 boards.
NM State drops to 6-22 overall and 3-10 in the WAC while Nevada improves to 6-22 overall and 2-11 in conference. Nevada snapped a nine-game losing streak with its first conference home win of the season.
Both teams shot the same percentage of 42 percent from the floor each making 22 of 53 attempts. One key difference was at free throw line where Nevada made 10 more shots than NM State with an 18-8 advantage. The Aggies made a dismal 8-of-19 from the charity stripe. Nevada also canned more long-range shots making 6-of-14 from beyond the arc, while NM State made 4-of-16.
Rozendaal helped NM State build a 6-0 lead early in the game. Nevada used the three-point shot to get back into the game early, draining three in a row to make it 9-8 Pack just four minutes into the game. A three from Womack put the Aggies up 11-9 at the first media timeout.
Nevada knotted the score for the only time in the game next time down the floor at 11-11. A 9-3 UN run gave the Wolf Pack the lead for good. Nevada led by as many as nine in the half and closed out the first 20 minutes with a 37-28 lead.
The Aggies shot 42 percent (10-24) in the first half but allowed Nevada 52 percent (14-27) shooting from the floor. NM State led on the boards 19-13 at the half. But the Aggies committed eight turnovers while Nevada made just three. The Pack made five of their six threes before the break on 5-of-8 marksmanship.
Inside the first minute of the second half Nevada increased its lead to 42-28 - the Pack's largest of the game. Sophomore guard Dré Chenier scored six of her nine points in a 21-8 Aggie rally. Wampler scored six consecutive points for the Aggies during the run that cut the Pack lead to 50-49 with nine minutes remaining.
NM State kept it a one-possession game over the next four minutes but Nevada pulled away in the final 3:48 with a 14-4 run to close out the game.
Nevada guard Kate Kevorken led the team with a double-double of 19 points and 11 boards. Wolf Pack center Kayla Williams added 15 and guard Danika Sharp dropped in 13 for Nevada.
NM State closes out the regular season with a trip to first-place Fresno State Saturday at 3 p.m. The Aggies are currently in line for the No. 7 seed at the 2012 WAC Tournament that begins Wednesday, March 7 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

A Home and an Art Gallery
ViennaVienna on the map
Here a Warhol, there a Leibovitz and a genuine Niki de Saint Phalle, and only a few steps away a work by the British art duo Gilbert & George: strolling through the Hotel Altstadt Vienna, one sometimes has the sense of being in an art gallery.
On one hand this has to do with owner Otto Ernst Wiesenthal's passion for collecting art, and his willingness to present some of the works in the hotel. But some of the exhibited art is also on loan from various Vienna museums. And art does not stop at the doorways of the 45 individually furnished rooms and suites.
One also finds contemporary art on the walls of the private guest rooms, and unusual lighting elements on the ceilings. Particularly worth experiencing are the nine erotically elegant rooms and suites designed by the celebrated Italian architect Matteo Thun, who used extravagant chandeliers, dark wood floors and red velvet furniture to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the early twentieth century. This is all inspired by the memory of Josephine Mutzenbacher, Vienna's most famous courtesan.
Music-lovers, on the other hand, may prefer to stay in the Bösendorfer suite, complete with its own grand piano, while honeymooners will be drawn to the White suite. Individuality has a high priority at the Hotel Altstadt Vienna, so does hospitality and perfect service.
Leading international travel magazines/guides as the Wallpaper City Guide, Condé Nast Traveler or Travel & Leisure also consistently recommend the Altstadt Vienna as one of their favorite places to stay in Vienna. Due to guest reviews, the Altstadt Vienna was always listed among the top 5 hotels in Vienna in 2011 and 2012 on tripadvisor.com.

Privacy and Free Speech Online
Last offered in 2010-2011
Privacy and free speech values frequently conflict. Protecting one individual's privacy often requires preventing another's speech. The Internet has created significant opportunity for users to express themselves in chatrooms, on the web, and through new social network applications. With this increased expression has come increased disclosures of personal information that may be saved, searched, and republished. Courts are currently grappling with the privacy- speech tension in cases where individuals as opposed to media institutions are the publishers of personal information about themselves and others and where people are publishing information on public networks but intended for limited groups of readers. This seminar explores the tension between protecting privacy and free speech online, with specific emphasis on the legal rules and social norms around user initiated communications and social networking and other web 2.0 applications.

The U.S.A. was founded on an act of rebellion against authority. It is our cultural norm to question those in power. With the Vietnam War and Watergate, questioning became doubting. We began to ask if those in authority were regularly lying to us.
Now the veracity of elected officials, especially those in Congress, has reached an all-time low. It is the general feeling that all incumbents, of either Party, lie, cheat and represent only themselves, not us. Everything they do is partisan and bluntly, if their lips are moving, they are lying. They seem to talk only in newspeak.
"Newspeak" is the word coined by George Orwell in his book 1984, warning us in his 1948 novel about what Big Brother could and will do to us. Using newspeak, a word or phrase means exactly the opposite of what you think it means. Bad is good. Black is white. Reforming healthcare makes it worse.
President Obama raised the issue of healthcare to national prominence by emphasizing its unsupportable cost spiral. His "Reform" Act, H.R. 3590 or the PPAHCA, spends over $1 trillion. This is classic newspeak. You call something "reform"–making things better, i.e., reducing costs–while you actually increase spending.
Consider the title of the PPAHCA: Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act of 2010. This is another demonstration of Congressional mendacity or disingenuousness. It is a WMDc (weapon of mass deception). It is classic newspeak.
"Patient Protection…"
Does PPAHCA protect patients? In fact, it creates the infamous Death Panels the Republicans tried to scare us with in 2009. The Act creates cost/effectiveness Commissions similar to what Great Britain calls the National Institutes For Clinical Excellence. These decide what is "cost/effective" for the national population, not the individual. If a treatment is deemed not cost/effective, it is not funded and therefore not available. In simple terms, if you need an unusual treatment or something that is very expensive, it is denied, you don't get the care you need, and…guess what happens. That is a strange way to "protect" patients.
"Affordable" for whom? Certainly not for our nation. The minimum cost estimate is $690 billion and the maximum I have read so far is $2.7 trillion. The fact that no one knows should itself scare you. Would you give a blank check to an inveterate overspender? You just did!
Worse, every entitlement program ever enacted has cost much more than projected. By 1990, Medicare had cost 854% over the original 1964 estimate and will be bankrupt in less than seven years.
Testifying before the Senate Budget Committee, the Director of the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) said that PPAHCA will accelerate not dampen the healthcare cost spiral. Recall that the President started the healthcare 'reform' movement because the upward cost spiral was unsupportable. The only way that accelerating the spiral would be considered "reform" is using newspeak.
No one in their right mind calls something affordable when you have to borrow the money to spend, then print dollars, and add to the national deficit.
Finally, where does all that money go? Did you know that before the PPAHCA almost forty percent (!) of all healthcare spending went to the Government? I termed this the "waste of the middle." After this "Affordable" Act, close to 50% will go to the bureaucrats and not to hospitals, doctors and nurses, pharmaceutical companies, or wheelchair makers.
Always bear in mind that "Healthcare" is a sickness treatment system. It does not reward health or wellness. Neither the Government nor the providers can deliver 'health' to the Public. This is particularly true when Cost/Effectiveness Commissions will prevent you from getting the care you need. Read Daniel Putkowski's (temporarily fictional) novel "Universal Coverage" to see what it will be like for the average citizen under PPAHCA.
PPAHCA implicitly promises you health CARE but offers health insurance. They let you believe that having insurance automatically gets you care. This is probably the cruelest lie built in to the PPAHCA. Here is a dose of reality.
We currently have a shortage of nurses and doctors: we do not have enough providers to deliver the care needed right now. Further, our provider shortage has been getting worse. What will happen when 30 million additional Americans acquire health insurance and start demanding care? Where will they find doctors, especially since PPAHCA reduced Medicare payments? And while PPAHCA is hiring thousands of new bureaucrats, there is not one single dollar in PPAHCA for a new nurse or doctor.
If you think that I exaggerate, please check my facts and assertions. Unfortunately, you will find they hold up. It is just as bad as I describe.
PPAHCA or Obamacare is a superb example of newspeak.
It exacerbates healthcare rather than reforming it.
Good medicine for healthcare starts with the repeal of PPAHCA.

Travel Guide North America Mexico Colima
Colima is a small state in western Mexico, on the Pacific coast. Away from the sea are mountains, a desert and a volcano. Colima is bordered by Jalisco and Michoacán, which are both popular destinations. Little Colima, however, is well worth a visit, boasting great beaches, friendly locals and one of Mexico's oldest cities.
The city of Colima was the capital of the Coliman Kingdom, an old civilisation from pre-colonial times. Now, it is the state's largest city - as well as its capital.
The state of Colima is divided into 10 municipalities (municipios), each headed by a municipal president (mayor). Municipalities are named after the city that serves as municipal seat. These municipalities could be best compared to counties in the United States, in that they have their own government, police, and services. They also hold their own culture which culminates to create the state's culture. Each has its own songs, dances, and traditional foods.

The School of International and Public Affairs is slated to move to Manhattanville in the early 2020s, but the school's new interim dean wants to stay focused on academics rather than planning and fundraising for the move.
Political science and public affairs professor Robert Lieberman was named interim SIPA dean on Feb. 17, replacing John Coatsworth, who became University provost. Lieberman, who was previously SIPA's vice dean, said that he would like to keep SIPA "on the trajectory that it's on."
"I feel like the school has made incredible strides in the last few years under John Coatsworth ... I've seen a lot of things change here, but those changes have never been as fast and as productive as they have been in the last couple years," Lieberman said.
In particular, Lieberman stressed that he wants to continue giving SIPA's academic program a more global perspective, a process begun under Coatsworth.
"SIPA is really on the leading edge of a new kind of public policy school," he said.
This international perspective, he said, is already reflected in SIPA's student body and its faculty's research.
"Students who are trained to meet the world that way and who can combine the skills of a policy analyst with a global orientation ... those kinds of students are going to be the ones who are going to go out in the professional world in the 21st century and solve the world problems and make the world a better place," Lieberman said.
The University is planning a new building for SIPA in Manhattanville—to be designed by architect Renzo Piano—but Lieberman said that academic planning is the school's more pressing need right now and that SIPA has not started to focus on raising money for the new building. Lieberman is also working to improve SIPA's student body and recruitment of top faculty.
"We're focusing now on what we can do to build up the school so that when we eventually move into new space, that we have a school that is worthy of the beautiful Renzo Piano building that has been allocated to us," he said.
Lieberman is an expert on American political development, race and politics, and social welfare policy, and he has taught at SIPA since 1994. He was chairman of the international and public affairs department from 2007 to 2012, and he also served two stints as vice dean, between 2009 and 2010 and between 2011 and 2012.
"In a sense, he knows far more about the school than any other faculty member I know," said Patrick Bohan, SIPA associate dean of General and Financial Administration.
SIPA professor Steven Cohen, who was on the search committee that brought Lieberman to SIPA as an assistant professor 18 years ago, described him as "very talented."
"There will be quite a bit of continuity, since he was part of dean's office" already, Cohen said.
SIPA Associate Dean for Student Affairs Caroline Kay, who described Lieberman as instrumental in recent curriculum changes, said that the dean transition will be seamless, because Lieberman has "always been a part of the SIPA community."
"I don't think there's going to be a drastic change," she said. "We're on the right path, and we're going to stay on it."
Lieberman added that the school is also focused on its $150 million capital campaign, having just passed the halfway mark. The top priority for those funds is student fellowships, followed by building developments and developing faculty capacity.
He also said that although the move to Manhattanville is still years away, the new building will solve the primary concern among SIPA's faculty and students—a space crunch in its current home, the International Affairs Building.
"We're doing everything we can—in the limits of what this building can support and what we can afford—to reconfigure some of the space in this building to make it work better for us," Lieberman said.
University President Lee Bollinger said in a statement last week that he and the provost will soon form a faculty advisory group in order to search for a permanent dean.
The School of International and Public Affairs is slated to move to Manhattanville in the early 2020s, but the school's new interim dean wants to stay focused on academics rather than planning and fundraising for the move.

Formatting Currency in a table column
In Workflow 7.5 I am using the Send Email component and trying to format a table from an array. My array is returning a cost values as a decimal. I would like to display this value in an email as currency. I have tried using both the "html table from collection" and the "Table from array" formatters in the email component. There seems to be several ways to format columns but I don't see a way to format these values as currency. Does anyone know how this can be done?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
one way off the top of my head is to format as Number(Decimal) and merge in a dollar sign.
Unfortunately, this editor doesn't let you specify a column format like the Grid UI component. One easy option I can think of is to create a second version of the data-type you're working with that has a string instead of decimal for the currency. Before the send email component iterate through your data-type to build display version with the dollar sign.
It wouldn't be a bad feature to have a format property on columns in the Build HTML Table component.

Lehigh earns prestigious academic honors
Three Lehigh students and a university alumna have been recognized for their academic achievements, with two being named Fulbright teaching fellows and two receiving Goldwater scholarships.
Fulbright fellowships were awarded to Deborah Ou-Yang '08 and Chelsea Stone '06, while Andrew Mastbaum '09 and Jared Maxson '09 were named Goldwater Scholars in recognition of their undergraduate research in physics.
Ou-Yang will graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in English literature and Asian studies. Her fellowship will fund a stay in South Korea, where she will teach English to elementary school students. Stone, who graduated with a degree in English and international relations, teaches high school language arts in Miami through the
Teach for America
program. As a Fulbright fellow, she will teach English in Madrid, Spain.
"It is truly an honor to receive this award," Ou-Yang said. "I look forward to having the experience of living in South Korea for a year, not only learning about the Korean customs, but also sharing my culture and language with Korean students."
"I am honored to receive a Fulbright grant and promise to make the most of the amazing adventure that lies ahead of me," added Stone. "This award means so much to me because I want to master Spanish as a native commands the language, and I want to play an active role in teaching and observing pedagogical practices in Spain."
Established in 1946, the
Fulbright Program
is the leading international educational exchange program. Its selections are based on the academic achievements and leadership potential of applicants, who must complete a written explanation describing the projects they would carry out if awarded the grant and write an essay about themselves and their goals.
The program is named for former U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright, who believed international education was central to the promotion of "mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and the people of other countries of the world."
Mastbaum will earn a bachelor's degree in physics this May and return to Lehigh in the fall for another year of undergraduate study, most likely for a second bachelor's degree in astrophysics.
He plans to obtain master's and doctoral degrees and conduct research in physics at either a public or private laboratory or a university.
"It's quite impressive that Lehigh had two winners, and in the same department," said Mastbaum, who was with Maxson in the quantum mechanics class they are taking this semester when the winners were announced. "While the immediate benefits are quite nice, in the longer run, having won a Goldwater might help open doors to graduate school and beyond, which I certainly appreciate."
"An unbelievable honor"
Similarly, after graduating, Maxson will move on to graduate school for a Ph.D. in physics. He plans on a career teaching physics at the university level and conducting research.
"For me, this award is really an unbelievable honor," Maxson said. "The caliber of research of other Goldwater Scholars is remarkable, and merely to be placed in the same group as them is a joy. Furthermore, this award was intended to encourage aspiring scientists, and for me it has been just that, a great encouragement, a great motivator to keep nurturing my passion for physics research."
Goldwater Program
was established in 1986 in order to alleviate the shortage of highly qualified scientific researchers by recognizing students who have outstanding potential in the fields of mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering. It is the premier undergraduate award of its kind and offsets the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year for each recipient. The program honors former U.S. Senator Barry M. Goldwater.
"This is marvelous news," said Ian Duffy, professor of history and director of the Office of Fellowship Advising. "The awards are extremely competitive, and to win them is a great honor. All four students presented applications that were impeccable and deserve a lot of credit. I hope that this success will encourage other Lehigh students to get in touch with me in order to discuss the possibility of applying for these and similar awards in the future."

Below is the poem entitled Hold, shake and roll which was written by poet
rose. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Nicola Rose
For words to slip off tongues, To breathe out of caressing lips, to share passion with
wandering fingertips,
To share physical feeling in a moment in time, to share the heat, the passion the sweat,
to tremble with desire, to step into love in out hearts and dance in the roaring fire.
To hold and roll, to shake and quiver as your body moves, to feel our bodies fit into
all of each others grooves,
To lose the time, to gain the thrill, to feel the push, to feel the pull, to be addicted
like that of a tranquil pill.
My body is yours, its for the taking, from head to toe, lick and kiss me, to and fro.
We'll share the heat, My senses play with your touch, my senses you are waking.
Pull me close, pull yourself in, Hold my head back, slide your tongue down my neck and
over my chin,
Run your lips over my chest, Support my arching body, yours will do the rest,
Turn me over, run your hands down my shoulders, caress what is yours, Lift me up to you,
release your pleasure, let me hear your roar.
Lay down beside me, lose yourself in my eyes, I could die in this moment, I could feel my
pulse through you, slip in between my thighs,.
I can feel it coming , I'm ready … my body is one with yours, can you feel me.. Breathing
in… breathing out… We're one and we're each other.. Can you feel me .. Can you see… Its
taking over..
This is love…
We're one
We're each other…

Total_Noob ports the PSP XMB to the PS Vita!
Ok, so here's something I thought you might all find a little bit interesting…
Total_Noob, famous developer of the CEF (Custom firmware within the PSP emulator of the Vita) is back with a project to bring the convenient PSP XMB to the PSP emulator on the Vita.
The first screenshot (see below) is pretty impressive, and I know it's a feature many of us have been dreaming of. But this is still a work in progress and there are lots of obstacles to bring the XMB back to the Vita.
The idea is basically to copy some modules from a PSP 6.60 firmware, probably reverse engineer them a little bit to fix/remove the parts that don't make sense as well as get them to communicate correctly with the PSP emulator on the Vita. Of course, distribution of such files (once the project is ready) might become problematic, as they will surely contain some code and graphics from Sony, but that's something that will need to be addressed when the project is complete.
(From Wololo's blog)
Work on the project will be a little slow due to his personal commitments but he said he will keep working on this neat little project!
Cheers for reading,,

Anne Hathaway's 500-Calorie Les Miz Diet: What She Ate to Prepare For the Role
Today is Anne Hathaway's 30th birthday, and there's no one in Hollywood who deserves a giant piece of cake more. In the December issue of Vogue, the Oscar-nominated actress reveals more details about the crazy 500-calorie diet that helped her shed 25 pounds for her role in Les Miserables.
For early scenes in the film, "she went on a strict cleanse and lost ten pounds, which in the early scenes of the film gives her a gossamer quality." As if that wasn't intense enough (Anne was already pretty slight for her role in The Dark Knight Rises), she then lost another 15 pounds in two weeks by eating — get this — "two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day." Appealing as that sounds, something tells us the Dried Oatmeal Paste Plan isn't poised to sweep the nation as the latest fad diet. And that's probably for the best, since it's not at all healthy. Anne herself admits the crash diet was a little nutty, even if it was necessary to make her performance believable.
"I had to be obsessive about it — the idea was to look near death," she recalls. "Looking back on the whole experience — and I don't judge it in any way — it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway."
Well, now that you're back to reality, Anne, we hope you're having a little less death-by-oatmeal and a little more death-by-chocolate.

1/2 cup
hot water
1 cup
dried currants
1 cup
2 cups
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
6 tablespoons
1/4 cup
hot water
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
4 cups
confectioners' sugar
Thanks, WALLEN, for this super cookie recipe. I made them just as the recipe is written, making only the normal baking adjustments for my 8,000 foot altitude. The "dough" was more like a cross between dough and batter, and that worried me a bit...but the cookies came out high and light. I used a #52 portion scoop (1 1/3 tablespoons) and netted 78 cookies. The amount of icing was dead on for the number of cookies.
Of all the Christmas cookies and truffles that I made this year, this recipe seems to be the clear favorite. It's just a wonderful old-fashioned type of cookie that has perhaps (undeservedly) gone out of style. My only tip would be to hold off making the icing until you're good and ready to frost the cooled cookies. The icing wants to set up fast - which is a plus when you're in a baking frenzy and want to get the cookies stored as soon as possible.

This is an excellent, excellent cookie. Perfect texture, perfect sweetness. I love the old fashioned style cookies. A great accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea!
These are so yummy! They were like little scones, and absolutely delicious while still warm. It was a stuggle keeping myself away from the dough before baking them all. I doubled the recipe, added some oats and flaxseed for a little extra variety, & sent them all out on Christmas cookie plates as gifts. Didn't make the glaze but I'm sure they'd be even better with it. Thank you!
great recipe - love that it uses buttermilk & brown sugar. Didn't have currants so made them without and currants. Sprinkled cookies with raw sugar before baking. Absolutely delicious & just what I was looking for.
Really super good cookies!
I subbed with mostly white sugar because I ran out of brown, and pecans because I didn't have walnuts. I baked these on a Sunday, and they were gone by Tuesday night!
I will make these again and again!
Absolutely delicious! Nice soft, not over the top sweet, cookie. Fabulous with a cup of coffee.
These cookies are so yummy. I will love having one with a cup of coffee! The frosting is something I'd put on other cookies, too, because it is just wonderful. I made a small batch of these so I could try to use up my currants, but I will just have to buy more now. I did make one change, and that was to use all butter rather than the shortening. They were perfectly done in 8 minutes. Thanks for posting this recipe that's been a little lost around Allrecipes for a while! Yum!

More donors than ever give online, and the Colleges and Universities that best respond to this trend will reap the benefits. In this session, presenter Kennedy Kipps will explore how powerful marketing communications can drive online giving to new levels.
Building on new research that shows how donors use the Web, you will learn the three keys to creating a strategic marketing communications plan for online fundraising. You'll then see how those principles have been put into action by educational institutions and other non-profits that rely on donor support.
