cold water

white sugar
4 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
3/4 teaspoon

When I was a kid, my grandmother always made this pie and one that she called a pecan cream pie. The White Christmas pie was always my favorite. When she died, I looked, to no avail, for her recipes for these pies. I am so glad to find them! Now I can continue a holiday tradition.
This pie was pretty but not a lot of flavor. Will probably not make again. I understand if this is a family tradition as we have those also but this did not appeal to my taste.
13 Ratings
I love this dessert! It's a family tradition at my home. We always have served the pie with thawed & sugared frozen strawberries on top - not cherries... It's much better that way!
A good friend who owned a restaurant used to make this often and would never give me the recipe. I've tried many others and this one tastes just like hers. Thanks for the great recipe. Everytime I make it I think of my friend! Thanks again!
Make sure that you take the time to set the gelatin. I left the mix too warm and when i folded in the cream and egg whites they flattened. Even so, i poured the remaining mix that would not fit in the pie crust into individual ramkins and they became a really nice custard.
This recipe is made so much better with 1/4 tsp of almond extract...the flavor is amazing!
My Grandmother was a Professional Baker, and she maid this pie every Christmas for the Family. I have all of her recipes for Pies, Cakes and what not, but cannot seem to find this recipe. Thank You so much for posting this recipe!
My grandmother made this pie since my father was a boy. Since she died, I have been making it in her stead to carry on the tradition. Christmas just wouldn't be the same without this pie. Her recipe calls for 1/2 tsp. almond extract in addition to the vanilla extract. Wonderful flavor!

By Army Spc. Paul David OndikSpecial to American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE SALERNO, Afghanistan, May 21, 2008 Every day, provincial reconstruction teams roll out of bases in Afghanistan with mixed bags of services and skill sets, bound by the necessity of their mission.
"Many would think it would be difficult to coordinate, but since we have unity of effort and a common interest in the welfare of the Afghan people, it isn't," said Army Capt. John Madia, Task Force Currahee fire support officer.
Madia is busy with a wide array of duties here. However, by his lighthearted demeanor, it would be hard to guess he's working far from his natural element. More often than not, this is the case for troops working in PRTs.
A West Point graduate in the Army's artillery branch, Madia has deployed before. In Iraq, he was an artillery platoon leader, but his platoon fired very little artillery. Instead, they patrolled the streets daily, initiating one-on-one contact with citizens who came to know them the way people in a U.S. neighborhood get to know a city cop patrolling a beat.
Madia said he became mildly famous for the effect he had on the local kids, who came to know him and his unit so well they would nearly jump in front of their Humvees as they rolled down eastern Baghdad alleyways. Now, in the Ghazni and Wardak provinces of Afghanistan, he has the potential to have a long-lasting effect on another population.
To generate the effect he desires, Madia relies on soldiers like Sgt. Al Walkowiak, a Pennsylvania National Guardsman, to interact with the Afghan people on the streets.
Walkowiak, a West Pittstown, Pa., native, said he takes great pride in his work. His military occupational specialty says he's a tanker, but Walkowiak hasn't had the chance to operate many tanks here. Instead, he has worked with military police in Iraq, and now with a PRT in Afghanistan. He's not disappointed, he said.
"It's good to see the changes that take place with the PRT," Walkowiak said as he handed out lollipops to the children who come running whenever the team's trucks come within sight. "It's not bad here. Pretty friendly. Most of the places we've been to, it's been pretty friendly."
Walkowiak said he has a lot of respect for the Afghan people. He related a story about visiting an area where the people live in abject poverty, even by Afghan standards, which is beyond the scope of the imagination of most residents of developed nations.
He said he was amazed by the way the local people shared food and tea so liberally, taking from what little they had to make a man far from his country feel a little more at home.
"They're very generous people," Walkowiak said with a mixture of admiration and amazement.
The amount of construction going on in Ghazni province is phenomenal, considering that under Taliban rule the area was considered one of the most backwater areas of the country. The PRT is responsible for helping to guide much of this construction. From roads to bridges, and schoolhouses to clinics, the Ghazni PRT works in concert with the Afghan government in an effort to aid in the area's success.
Army Col. Pete Johnson, Task Force Currahee commander, applauded the efforts of the Ghazni PRT and its work with the 82nd Airborne Division's Task Force Fury, his unit's predecessors in the region.
"No matter the challenge, the forces working toward the success of the burgeoning democracy never flinched," Johnson said.
Outside of the half-built district center in Kwaji Omarie, the PRT members realized they still have a long way to go. There is no telling when the center will be officially finished to the standards that the engineers know are necessary. Local contractors sweat in the sun to build bridges to connect a maze of dirt streets that are difficult to navigate.
If there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it's the one that can be found in front of soldiers like Walkowiak, or in the eyes of the Afghan children who marvel and plead not for the weapon in his hand, but the pens in his pocket.
(Army Spc. Paul David Ondik serves in the 82nd Airborne Division's 4th Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office.)

Beautiful But High Risk
By Elton Camp
The graceful shape is just right
Blending of colors is a delight
Not an bulge of fat is anywhere
Always will be seen entirely bare
And no jewelry is ever needed
By foolish pride never impeded
No money is demanded or expected
If to make use of, you have elected
When taken right along with you
There's no objection to nip or chew
Also, no ceremony will be required
For a thing that's so easily acquired
Some past partakers came to regret
Because of what they then did get
For there's one small fact to know
Dire death could come, fast, not slow
So eat wild mushrooms if you dare
But about your life you don't care

Introductory Intel x86: Architecture, Assembly, Applications, & Alliteration
Introductory Intel x86: Architecture, Assembly, Applications, & Alliteration
Creator: Xeno Kovah @XenoKovah
License: Creative Commons: Attribution, Share-Alike
Class Prerequisites: Must have a basic understanding of the C programming language, as this class will show how C code corresponds to assembly code.
Lab Requirements: Requires a Windows system with Visual C++ Express Edition. Requires a Linux system with gcc and gdb, and the CMU binary bomb installed. Either system can be physical or virtual.
Class Textbook: "Professional Assembly Language" by Richard Blum. This was chosen as a reference book because it provides an alternate explanation for all the instructions covered in the class. However it is Linux and AT&T syntax focused rather than Windows and Intel syntax.
Recommended Class Duration: 2-3 days
Creator Available to Teach In-Person Classes: Yes
Author Comments:
Intel processors have been a major force in personal computing for more than 30 years. An understanding of low level computing mechanisms used in Intel chips as taught in this course serves as a foundation upon which to better understand other hardware, as well as many technical specialties such as reverse engineering, compiler design, operating system design, code optimization, and vulnerability exploitation.
25% of the time will be spent bootstrapping knowledge of fully OS-independent aspects of Intel architecture. 50% will be spent learning Windows tools and analysis of simple programs. The final 25% of time will be spent learning Linux tools for analysis.
This class serves as a foundation for the follow on Intermediate level x86 class. It teaches the basic concepts and describes the hardware that assembly code deals with. It also goes over many of the most common assembly instructions. Although x86 has hundreds of special purpose instructions, students will be shown it is possible to read most programs by knowing only around 20-30 instructions and their variations.
The instructor-led lab work will include:
* Stepping through a small program and watching the changes to the stack at each instruction (push, pop, call, ret (return), mov)
* Stepping through a slightly more complicated program (adds lea(load effective address), add, sub)
* Understanding the correspondence between C and assembly control transfer mechanisms (e.g. goto in C == jmp in ams)
* Understanding conditional control flow and how loops are translated from C to asm(conditional jumps, jge(jump greater than or equal), jle(jump less than or equal), ja(jump above), cmp (compare), test, etc)
* Boolean logic (and, or, xor, not)
* Logical and Arithmetic bit shift instructions and the cases where each would be used (shl (logical shift left), shr (logical shift right), sal (arithmetic shift left), sar(arithmetic shift right))
* Signed and unsigned multiplication and division
* Special one instruction loops and how C functions like memset or memcpy can be implemented in one instruction plus setup (rep stos (repeat store to string), rep mov (repeat mov)
* Misc instructions like leave and nop (no operation)
* Running examples in the Visual Studio debugger on Windows and the Gnu Debugger (GDB) on Linux
* The famous "binary bomb" lab from the Carnegie Mellon University computer architecture class, which requires the student to do basic reverse engineering to progress through the different phases of the bomb giving the correct input to avoid it "blowing up". This will be an independent activity.
Knowledge of this material is a prerequisite for future classes such as Intermediate x86, Rootkits, Exploits, and Introduction to Reverse Engineering.

Carrollton school officials are going to the voters in May with a levy request.
The Board of Education agreed Tuesday to place an emergency levy on the May 7 primary election ballot to generate $1.6 million per year.
"The district is facing a deficit in 2015," said Superintendent Dr. David Quattrochi when asking the board for permission to proceed with the request.
"We are in a catch 22 situation. We have great potential with the oil and gas boom and the planned well on school property, but it may take three to five years to develop. In the meantime, we have to do something."
He said district administrators are working with both unions in the school district and are looking at a half million dollars in cuts.
"We are looking at an emergency levy to help make up for the revenue we have lost in state and federal funding," he said, adding the levy would be for a three-to-five year period.
The deadline to place a levy on the May ballot is Feb. 6.

Good morning! Safety in the Department of Defense has a long history, dating back to the Revolutionary War. One of the very first orders issued by Gen. Washington simply read, "No smoking in powder tents." This was also the first safety regulation for the U.S. military.
Several hundred years later, I had the honor of being appointed the deputy undersecretary of defense for environmental security. Accordingly, I am responsible for developing policies to protect the health, safety and environment of all military and civilian personnel, their families and people who live adjacent to our facilities.
In a nutshell, this involves making sure that the department manages the natural areas under our jurisdiction, cleans up sites that have been contaminated in the past, develops programs and technologies to prevent pollution from the outset, protects the health and safety of people, and complies with the law. But above and beyond all else, protecting the health and safety of our people is Job 1. It is our highest priority.
One of the very first policies I personally championed through the corridors of the Pentagon expanded the one that Gen. Washington signed. The new policy prohibited smoking not just in powder tents, but in all DoD facilities. The amount of effort we expended creating this policy made me wish that Gen. Washington had tacked it on to his regulation in the first place.
Every person who works for the Defense Department has the inherent right to work and live in a safe and healthful environment. This should be a core value of the department's culture. Feeling, and being, safe should permeate every task and every organization within the Department.
On July 2, 1997, Secretary of Defense [William S.] Cohen signed the FY 1999-2003 Defense Planning Guidance, which states: "Safety and Health. Fund risk management strategies towards achieving a near term goal of zero Class A accidents, with the ultimate goal of zero total accidents, no occupational injuries and illnesses, and full compliance with DoD health and safety standards. Fund ergonomics program initiatives to reduce work related musculoskeletal disorders and associated costs."
Note that this is the first time that there has been a specific and separate section on safety and occupational health in the DPG and the inclusion of the DoD accident prevention goal.
Under the Defense Reform Initiative, the department will restructure itself to function similar to top performing world class organizations. That is why we have arranged for Mr. Gerry Scannel to be the luncheon speaker tomorrow. While best known to most Americans as the assistant secretary of labor heading the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or the president of the National Safety Council, Mr. Scannel is best known within the safety and occupational health profession as one of the most successful practitioners of the art of prevention. We are confident that his ideas will help us as we proceed with the DRI.
But why do we even need to address SOH in the DRI? Wasn't modern industrial safety and health virtually invented by the U.S. military? It is true during World War II people and resources were in short supply and our collective future hinged on producing the vast quantities of war materiel needed to defeat our enemies. The loss of an ammunition plant or fire in an aircraft factory could have very real impacts on those who needed the products of these efforts. Similarly, personnel shortages dictated that the workers who produced the materiel needed to be protected as well.
We became a world leader in safety and health. We are still leaders in many areas, but in more than a few cases, the competition has caught up and even passed us. Under the DRI, we will re-examine where we are going and how we will get there.
As Secretary Cohen has said, "I know that everyone in the department takes accident prevention seriously, and that we can do better." In fact, Defense Secretary Cohen has shown a personal interest and commitment to work force safety. Following a series of accidents in September, Secretary Cohen ordered the first-ever departmentwide, 24-hour aviation stand-down. In a press statement released during this stand-down the secretary said, "Perfection is impossible, but that is our goal for aviation safety."
President Clinton and Secretary Cohen speak with one voice on this issue. In his State of the Union address a few weeks ago, he said improving worker health, safety and environmental standards are a priority this year, and a few days later at the National Defense University, Clinton said, "Every year, about 200 soldiers, airmen and Marines die in peacetime accidents. I think that the American people need to know that. We must and will always make safety a top priority. Every casualty is a tragedy, in peace or in war."
This commitment from the top provides a unique opportunity to make the institutional changes needed to improve the safety and occupational health of the DoD work force. Why does the department need to make fundamental institutional changes? Some are content with the current performance, which is slightly better than the federal average for injuring workers. But those content with this performance are neither the ones being injured or the ones that must pay the $600 million in workers' compensation costs each year.
In fact, we are not getting any better, statistically speaking. This is troubling. And since we are shutting down or contracting out much of the blue collar industrial effort, that means that administrative workers may actually be losing ground.
And your agencies have a lot of workers. Taken together, the defense agencies are second only to U.S. Postal Service in total civil service population. We are here today to roll up our sleeves and collectively identify the direction and capability necessary to take on the SOH hurdles facing the defense agencies and by association, the department as a whole.
I like to say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. But have you ever tried to weigh prevention? What does it look like? And how much is a "pound of cure"? Measuring our effectiveness and success is not easy.
The department knows when safety failures occur, but you can never measure an accident that never happened or cure an occupational illness that did not occur. But in these competitive times, when budgets are flat, we need to be able to measure our successes more than ever before. Therefore, I challenge you to establish a simple evaluation framework, and a series of indicators, to create measures that will improve your ability to perform your duties and communicate your future success.
Indicators such as accident rates are sometimes criticized as measures of failure. They are good indicators of past performance, but what do they tell us about the future? Predictive indicators are difficult to design and demand some creativity.
One member of my staff used a simple indicator when he augmented IG inspections. He randomly approached people in the hallways of buildings and asked directions to the safety office. In poorly performing organizations, the responses often were snickers or a statements to the effect that they didn't even know if there were such an office. In well-performing organizations, he would get directions and, sometimes, an unsolicited testimonial about the importance of safety to the organization. What would he hear if he asked that question in your organization?
Top-level support is the foundation for the success of prevention programs. But how do you measure it? One indicator we occasionally see in industry and in the department is where the top manager decides to be briefed on every serious incident. Often, the first-line supervisor and the person who experienced the accident would brief the leader, or perhaps a group of senior leaders, to go over the cause and plan to prevent future incidents. Not surprisingly, accidents are rare in such organizations. Would you like to be the one who had to give such a briefing to your CEO [chief executive officer]? In this situation, a pound of fear may be worth an ounce of prevention. As you share your successes and challenges at this symposium, try to capture other indicators we can use and share.
There are 23 defense agencies represented here today. This is a unique opportunity to begin a collaborative, process by sharing the lessons you have learned, the challenges you face and the strategies you have employed to advance your programs. We have tried to create a forum where you can interact, share information and determine your needs.
Of course, your needs may vary by organization. We should also be careful to set reasonable expectations, based on an honest assessment of the strengths and limitations of your organization. Setting the bar too high can be paralyzing. We hope that you will come away from this seminar with measurable, cost-effective ways to step forward to improve your SOH programs.
Never be complacent, maintain continual awareness, make sure the secretary's commitment to safety results in raised safety awareness within your organization. Those who wish to cut corners involving the safety of the workers should be reminded of the time-proven piece of wisdom: "The cost of safety is much more easily sustained than the price paid for the lack of it."
Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you. Have a safe and productive symposium.

9.1 chapter Finding a Cart
20 Nov 2013, 11:01
Božidar Ševo (1 post)
we have two things that we do: rails generate scaffold Card and rails db:migrate
and then there is code for current_cart.rb, but there is no info that we should make that file our own! It might be better to say it in a sentence so people can know what to do ;)
02 Dec 2013, 08:32
Ben Kwok (4 posts)
Agree, the CurrentCart module is just created out of blue, makes me wondering for a while that whether the book I have is incomplete or what. This should be the first file in the book so far that has to be created by the reader (all we've done earlier is just modifying existing files created by Rails)
Like the previous well organized chapters Sam should provide more explaination on what the Concern folder is and why the CurrentCart module in that folder, and what's the usage. And more importantly, in what case a developer should do the same.

Iteration D1 also needs an explanation of concerns. What are they and why are they useful?

Babak Esfandiari (1 post)
I agree with the above commenters. I expected the depot_f folder that I downloaded from the website to contain the CurrentCart module, but it wasn't there either. In fact there's no concerns folder at all. This makes me think concerns are a rails 4 concept, and the code is only current as of Rails 3.2.

So just to confirm, the current_cart.rb file containing the CurrentCart module is one that we have to create ourselves?
It was not created when i ran the $rails generate scaffold Cart command and i'm a little confused after a lot of googling.

The Paperboy is an upcoming drama film that is going to be released in cinemas on October 5th 2012. The Paperboy is a racially charged film that is directed by Oscar nominated Lee Daniels who is known for the movie Precious. The Paperboy will take audiences to 1960 in South Florida where an investigative reporter Ward Jansen (played by Matthew McConaughey) and Yardley Acheman (Oyelowo) are chasing a career-making story by trying to prove that an innocent man was framed for murder. The Paperboy is based on the bestselling novel written by Pete Dexter entitled "Mulholland Falls, Rush". Let's check out what we can expect from this new movie, The Paperboy from an exclusive interview with Lee Daniels.
"The Paperboy: An Interview with The Film's Director, Lee Daniels
Make no mistake about it; Lee Daniels has had a consistent track record of pulling together some of Hollywood's biggest names to star in his feature films. In addition to casting both Halle Berry and comedienne Mo'Nique for their Academy Award-winning performances in Monster's Ball and Precious, Daniels aims to repeat his success with his forthcoming film, The Butler.
Featuring an all-star cast including Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Robin Williams, Terrence Howard, Jane Fonda, and Cuba Gooding Jr., to name a few, the film depicts the life and times surrounding an African-American butler, Eugene Allen, who worked in the White House during eight administrations.
While promoting his current film, "The Paperboy," the bold auteur spoke candidly about filming the forthcoming biopic, in addition to his thoughts on critics.
What can fans expect from your latest film The Paperboy?
I think that you'll find it very provocative. It's definitely an unexpected choice after Precious. The reviews have been mixed. They're the same as Precious, but I'm not here to please you as I did with Precious. With Paperboy, there's some big stars in it [including Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey and Nicole Kidman] and they were surprised that I got them to do what I got Mo'Nique and Gabby [Gabourey Sidibe] to do. But I think die hard Lee Daniels fans will love the film and those who can't stomach the truth will be appalled and call it disgusting.
Why disgusting?
Well, a lot of African-Americans went for me with Precious, and I flipped the script this time. But I think you'll enjoy it. It's a very complex study into the minds of African-Americans, it's my version of The Help, sort of.
What are your thoughts on those who refer to your films as being shot with a dark undertone?
I don't know what to say about that. I guess it's a style I'm learning about now that is therapeutic to me, and I'm learning about myself. I'm addressing many of my demons in all of my films. Though I'm criticized often times for portraying African-Americans in a certain way, I love my people. But I also love telling the truth. I don't hide behind the truth."
You can read the rest of the interview at Huffington Post
The Paperboy stars Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, John Cusack, Zac Efron and is rated R by the MPAA due to violence, strong sexual content and language.

Meghan Memorial Run
Fifty runners participate
- Release Date:
- October 3, 2009
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The men's and women's cross country teams hosted the Meghan Memorial 5K run on Saturday, October 3 at Frontier High School. The race was open to the public as well as local college cross country teams. Thirty-one college runners participated from Hilbert College, D'Youville College and Penn State Behrend, in addition to the 29 'outside' running enthusiasts.
The men's college team competition saw Hilbert College completing the course with the best team time – 1:58:15.4 followed by D'Youville College with team time of 1:59:19.5. Penn State Behrend did not have a complete team (men or women) due to racing conflicts earlier in the weekend. The athletes who did attend were there to support the Meghan Memorial, and we thank them publically for that.
The women's college team competition flip-flopped the earlier results of the men's – D'Youville College women's team time – 2:13:04.0 while Hilbert's team time was 3:11:12.1.
The race's overall male open winner was Del Anson, from Hamburg, with a time of 18:34. Elizabeth Schultz was the overall female top runner with a time of 20:13. Not that there was an award for the youngest runner, but Hilbert would like to acknowledge a budding running superstar – little 8-year old Tommy Appenheimer from Kenmore, NY ran the 5K race in a time of 25:19.1 just shy of beating his dad, Tom.
The top 10 male finishers and the top 10 female finishers, along with the top open male and top open female received a dry-fit neon green running shirt with the Meghan Memorial logo. Attached is a list of the individual finishers as well as the team break downs.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Soft foods/soups for someone after oral surgery.
I'll be having some minor surgery on my jaw next month, which will interfere with my ability to chew for a couple of weeks. The doctor has suggested soups, but I tend to find them a bit bland.
Is there any other foods or tasty soups you could recommend? The only things I'm not a huge fan of are seafood and most cheeses (usually savoury). It would be much appreciated.

The lots include the Bridgewater Condo/Water Terrace office building, a brewpub and office complex that houses the Milwaukee Ale House, Black Swan Banquet Hall and Engstrom office building.The lawsuit alleges the village breached three agreements it signed with the developers in 2005 and 2006. The agreements, which were negotiated for redevelopment projects in a downtown tax incremental financing district, required the developers to guarantee assessed property values by improving the lots using design standards in the village's downtown master plan and TIF district project plan.The developers allege the village failed to complete the reconstruction of 13th Avenue, a downtown riverwalk and other infrastructure improvements required in the agreements and used "permitting delays, stop orders, arbitrary or inequitable design standards, onerous parking requirements and leveraging of project approvals to gain further concessions."According to the lawsuit, the village "hindered and obstructed the purpose of the agreements" by supporting the removal of the Bridge Street dam on the Milwaukee River east of the companies' buildings.Without the dam — which a binding referendum subsequently required the village to preserve until at least 2019 — the developers would not have entered into the agreements, the lawsuit states.The lawsuit also alleges that delays in negotiating the agreements and the village acquiring easements for the riverwalk resulted in increased land costs.In addition, the lawsuit alleges village employees substituted unapproved terms and pages into the agreement for the Engstrom building after negotiations and without the knowledge of the developers.The developers asks the court to award "damages in an amount to be determined," terminate agreements signed with the village in March 2005, June 2006 and December 2006, restructure the agreement for the Engstrom building and refund the amount of money drawn by the village on letters of credit for shortfalls in property values.Peter Sheperd of Mequon is listed as a registered agent for each of the development firms. In March, the developers filed a claim with the village seeking $8 million in damages and termination of the agreements. The Village Board rejected the claim in May.At that time, Village Administrator Darrell Hofland said the village fulfilled its obligations in the agreements. He and other Grafton officials said the agreements were crucial to downtown redevelopment efforts.

Vampire Diaries Stars Share Season 4 Hopes at CW Upfronts
A few stars of The Vampire Diaries trekked up to New York City yesterday for The CW Network's Upfront celebration, and they spilled on a few of their hopes for Season 4 to E! Online.
Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore), who was extremely sleep deprived (poor thing), said that he hopes Elena (Nina Dobrev) does indeed fully transition into a vampire next season because it'd be "a lot of fun if Elena was a vampire." Indeed!
Candice Accola (Caroline Forbes) echoed that sentiment, saying that it'd be especially fun for her because Elena's "transformation and how she deals with it will be so entertaining … especially with all of her friends [like Caroline] that have just gone through their own supernatural transformations to support her. It would just add a whole other curveball to the ball game." We totally agree with that one!
Meanwhile, Nina Dobrev thinks that while her character did choose Stefan (Paul Wesley), the love triangle is far from done. She teased, "It's interesting because… does she remember the choice? She hit her head pretty hard and she was in a car accident!" Do tell, Nina!
On the same note, Paul Wesley joked that Stefan and Damon might be the ones having a change of heart over their undying love for Elena now that she's grown a pair of fangs. "We might break up with her. Maybe there'll be another innocent, human girl that will replace, since now she's a vicious [vampire]. "
Paul says he definitely hopes that whatever happens with Stefan and Elena that he doesn't just resort back to "Goody Two-Shoes" Stefan from Season 1 and that he "maintains a glimmer of Ripper." Hmm… Newborn Vampire Elena plus Ripper Stefan certainly could change things up a bit, no?
Finally, Candice had a thing or two to say about what's to come from her own character's little love triangle, now that Tyler's (Michael Trevino) body is being inhabited by Klaus (Joseph Morgan). "I really love the dynamic between Caroline and Klaus. It's very odd. It doesn't make sense at all and yet it makes perfect sense," she said. Could this new twist bring Klaroline back into being? Dang it, fall's so far away!

The Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Creative Writer Speaker Series is pleased to announce the next presenter, Willy Vlautin, April 24, noon – 1 p.m. in the Visual Arts Theatre.
As an author and the lead singer and songwriter of local band Richmond Fontaine, Vlautin has released nine studio albums since the late 90s and has written four novels: The Motel Life, Northline, Lean on Pete, and The Free, released in February 2014.
Vlautin's first book, The Motel Life was an editor's choice in the New York Times Book Review and named one of the top 25 books of the year by the Washington Post. Polsky Films released the film version of The Motel Life, starring Emile Hirsch, Stephen Dorff, Dakota Fanning and Kris Kristofferson, in November 2013. The film was praised by critics across the U.S. and won three prizes at the Rome International Film Festival: Audience Choice, Best Screenplay and Editing.
Vlautin's third novel, Lean on Pete, is the story of a 15-year-old boy who works and lives on a rundown race track in Portland, Ore., and befriends a failed race horse named Lean on Pete. The Sunday Herald stated, "Lean on Pete confirms his status as one of the most emotionally charged writers in America..." Lean on Pete won two Oregon Book Awards, the Ken Kesey Award for Fiction and the People's Choice Award.
In Vlautin's latest release The Free, the poverty and trauma of war dominate a compelling vision of modern America -- but love and redemption can also be found. Vlautin's writing is highly evocative of the American West, and his novels are set in and around Oregon, Washington, Nevada and New Mexico. His books explore the circumstances and relationships of people near the bottom of America's social and economic spectrum and reveal the capacity of the human spirit to survive and beat the odds.
The MHCC Creative Writing Speaker Series brings innovative, thought-provoking authors, artists and scholars to the Gresham Campus for interdisciplinary readings and discussions. Each event is free and open to students, MHCC employees and the public.

Week of February 20 - 24:
It seems we've ended up back to square one with the Hope/Liam/Steffy storyline this week, which feels a little frustrating, but there were some really entertaining scenes. Thoughts for the week:
Steffy double-crossing Rick was nothing less than I expected, and made for great reactions all the way around. Particularly enjoyable was Stephanie finally getting into the mix with her deliciously blunt observations on the matter!
First of all, every character in this storyline is behaving hypocritically many times over, but the scene with Stephanie calling Brooke out was still good. Especially entertaining was Stephanie putting Brooke in check when she tried to say Rick was being a friend to Steffy - she was having none of that bunk! Brooke's been pretty much free-wheeling in this Hope/Steffy/Liam situation, as Ridge and Taylor have only put up a minimum of resistance. There's nothing like a good Brooke/Stephanie showdown on any issue! Love this pair!
Hissy fit.
Watching Hope freak out after learning Steffy signed 'loser' on the annulment papers, I felt torn. On one hand, she was finally showing some spirit, but on the other, she was still disappointingly like a spoiled child stomping her feet over not getting her way. Also surprising is her blatant and repeated appeals to Rick to do whatever it takes to get Steffy off the market - dangerously close to doing the very same type of things she's condemned Steffy for in the past! If her 'fans' only knew!
Rick's basically coming across as a snake in this whole Steffy scheme of his, but there's no one more capable of handling him than Steffy, and they have more than enough chemistry to make their scenes taut with the promise of what could be. Unfortunately for Rick, he needs Amber to help him with his designs, so once she gets wind of this, things may get a wee bit more complicated. Looking forward to it!
Barrel of monkeys.
The double-date dinner at Bikini Beach was brilliant. All the different facial expressions, one-liners, and the women trying to be civilized was so entertaining to watch. Bill and Ridge drank like fish to get through it, and the bit with Bill's little impromptu fantasy about Brooke was golden - so unexpected, and absolutely hilarious the way he had to give his head a shake and excuse himself. Awesome! These two very sexual characters would really burn up the sheets if they ever hooked-up. Would you like to see it? Vote in our Brooke and Bill poll.
I've got a headache.
By the end of the week this very long storyline with Hope, Liam, and Steffy had come full circle. It's almost like it was in the beginning with Hope wondering if Liam will be able to 'wait', Steffy trying to seduce Liam, and Liam seemingly wavering. Bill's caveman-like advice to Liam was ridiculously funny to hear, and led us to the Friday cliffhanger - who did Liam go to? Is he behind door number one or door number two? Personally, I think Rick's at Steffy's door and Liam's run back to Hope to stop himself from giving in to his desire for Steffy.

High school students come to Eckerd College for humanities immersion
Thirty high schools students from across Florida and the nation are staying at Eckerd College this week for the first-ever summer program focused on the humanities.
Titled "New Eyes for a New Century: The Humanities 20-20," the weeklong program is sponsored by the Florida Humanities Council and the Eckerd College Special Programs Division. It is designed for high school juniors and seniors seeking a deeper understanding of the humanities and the liberal arts.
There's nothing quite like it in Florida and perhaps nationwide, says Janine Farver, executive director of the Florida Humanities Council.
"There are a lot of summer science camps but nothing for the humanities,'' says Farver. "We don't know of another program like this in the country.''
During their stay, students live at the dorms, eat their meals at the campus cafeteria and participate in active, experiential learning with Eckerd professors. It not only gives them a better understanding of the humanities but of college life, says Literature Professor Julie Empric, who designed the curriculum.
"We're trying to give them a pre-college experience,'' says Empric. They are working closely with full-time Eckerd professors of philosophy, literature, rhetoric and film studies, as well as with Eckerd students.
A lot of fun activities are included -- campfire s'mores and movies at the pool, for example -- but the program is designed to be intellectually stimulating.
Students explore the hidden power of the visual image in advertising, learn about surrealism at the Dali Museum, discuss beach-related literature at the beach and learn how to create hypertext in a computer lab.
The students spent Tuesday morning at Big Cat Rescue and on Wednesday discussed the ethics of the humane treatment of animals — followed by an outdoor Tai Chi class beneath the pines and palmettos on campus.
"This is a great program,'' said Howard Johnston, University of South Florida secondary education professor who is evaluating the initiative for the Humanities Council. "I'm just fascinated watching the students engaging with the faculty."

Councilor grills Falmouth library officials on expansion plan
FALMOUTH — A proposed $5 million expansion of Falmouth Memorial Library gained widespread support from the Town Council, but not without some tough questions about cost.
About 20 people attended the Town Council meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13, which featured presentations by library President Mark Porada and architect Scott Simons, plus comments from the public, which were largely positive.
The council took no action on the proposal, which calls for demolition of the library's Iverson House, construction of a new 11,320-square-foot addition, renovation of an existing 7,280-square-foot space and the purchase of an adjacent property.
In all, the library would grow by 73 percent from it existing size to a total of 18,600 square feet on a single floor. Currently, the library is about 10,700 square feet.
For the most part, the council expressed overwhelming support for the proposal.
But Councilor Russ Anderson grilled the planners with a series of questions on costs, particularly the $315,000 needed to buy the Kowlasky property, which would accommodate an expanded and redesigned parking area between Lunt and Depot roads.
Anderson prefaced his questions by saying "there's no question (the library expansion) is needed," but also said his primary responsibility as a councilor is to spend tax dollars responsibly.
Anderson then asked Simons whether he considered adding a second floor to reduce construction costs, and whether the existing property could accommodate increased parking simply by closing off the Depot Road entrance and adding additional spots there.
Anderson also questioned the accuracy of the library's circulation rates, and its fundraising plan, which drew jeers from at least one audience member.
In his response, Simons said purchasing the Kowalsky property is necessary for several reasons:
• It will allow planners to redesign the parking lot to slow traffic between Lunt and Depot roads, which would improve pedestrian and traffic safety.
• The expansion of the facility requires additional parking spaces.
• And ownership of the Kowalsky property will allow future parking expansion if there are any additions to the facility.
Library board member Marsha Clark said circulation numbers are high at the library because of town demographics.
"There's a correlation between library use and education level," she said. "We're a highly educated community; a community that values education."
Earlier in the night, Porada said circulation at Falmouth Memorial Library circulation is higher than in the state's six largest municipalities, which include Portland and Bangor. On average, he said, every Falmouth resident checks out 16 library items per year.
Resident John Winslow – the only audience member to speak in opposition to the plan – said he wasn't satisfied with the data from the library. He would like to know how many of those library users live outside Falmouth, and would like the library to impose fees on them.
"This is no longer a community-of-Falmouth library, but rather a greater Portland resource center, funded by taxpayers of Falmouth," he said.
Fourteen other audience members, mostly library board members, spoke in favor of the plan, including Alex Agnew, who praised the archictect's use of environmentally sensitive materials and design.
"To put a super-high-quality building in the center of our town is an important demonstration of what we think of ourselves, what we think of our kids, what we think of our families," he said. "If we put a junkier building in there, I think it would be a terrible mistake."
A week earlier, the library board hired Ovation Fundraising Counsel to help raise capital for the expansion. Ovation's first task is to estimate how much private or corporate money can be raised for the project and to provide that information to the council in March, before the Kowalsky offer expires in April.
At that meeting, the library board might propose a funding plan for the Town Council to condier, according to library Vice President Amy Kuhn.
Anderson said Ovation's schedule might complicate his decisions on the council.
"It would be hard for me to recommend committing funds for this before there is any demonstrated fundraising results," he said.
The cost breakdown for the estimated $5 million project is about $3.2 million for the new construction and $320,000 to renovate existing space (based on rate estimates of $290 per square foot for energy efficient construction and materials, plus $45 per square foot renovations).
Earlier plans called for 22,000 square feet, but the new, 18,600-square-foot design would still accommodate projected growth in 15 years, according to Simons. Also, the one-story building could later be expanded to include a 10,000-square foot, U-shaped second floor.
Falmouth Memorial Library is a private nonprofit, not an entity of the town. Still, about 75 percent of the library's budget is taxpayer-funded.
The library opened in 1952 and was originally a home. A $1.25 million wing was added in 1995, doubling its size.
If approved, the project could begin as early as 2015.
Corrections: An earlier version of this story incorrectly spelled the name of the Kowalsky property. It was a reporter's error. The earlier version also listed incorrect costs for the Kowalsky property and the library's 1995 addition. Those were source errors.

Nov. 3, 2013 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Seahawks
Fielding a punt at his own 3-yard line, Tate decides to return it and proves why he's a top NFL talent, splitting defenders every which way as he craftily sprints toward a 71-yard gain. The return helps spark Seattle's franchise-record comeback from 24 points down, and the Hawks beat the winless Bucs 27-24 in overtime.

Unfortunately, flip-flops don't stay on your feet that well--a problem when you try to run from, say, the police, or you encounter rapidly moving water. On the end-of-summer Instructables rafting trip--How to Raft, noahw?--they made a big fuss about having heeled sports sandals or tennis shoes and not flip flops that would flop off of your feet and float away.
But who wants to go buy or borrow sandals or shoes when you've got flip-flops and duct tape at your disposal?
While some of you may be doubters at this point, I guarantee that this was successful. Find your duct tape and read on!
Step 1: Supplies
*A pair of waterproof flip-flops
*Duct tape
*Your feet
Step 2: Strip(s)
Subtract about two inches from the length of the first strip and cut a second one.
Lay the sticky sides together, leaving a bit of stickiness showing on either end of the longer piece.
Step 3: Time for Feet
For my "slide" style flops, this was easy; for thong flops, this may be slightly more difficult. However, if the straps on your flops are small enough, you can wrap the excess sticky parts around the straps to create a stronger attachment.
Or even furniture tape. Similar but made for rougher treatment and they come in more colors and sizes.
Great instructible!

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A Lawrenceville woman and her new beau visiting from out of town awoke to the sound of a semi-automatic pistol racking Wednesday, the woman's estranged ex threatening to kill them, police said.
The 43-year-old male victim, "visibly scared" as he talked to police, said that he awoke at the woman's Mildon Hall Lane apartment to her ex-boyfriend pointing the gun at "his pelvis."
He unsuccessfully attempted to jump out the apartment window before the suspect, Darrin Pressley, reportedly threatened again to kill him and forced him to leave the home at gunpoint.
After he left, the female victim told police, Pressley questioned her about their relationship, the gun pointed at her.
"When (she) would not answer a question, Pressley would point the gun at her until she gave him the correct answer," the report reads.
The suspect ultimately left, the victim told police, making off with two cell phones and $350.
When police returned to the scene, Pressley was nowhere to be found. Officers did find a window screen that had been bent and removed, presumably by Pressley to gain entry to the apartment he had lived in a year before, police said.
Pressley was later found and booked into Gwinnett County Jail on two charges of armed robbery and one count of burglary, and was not granted bail.

I agree. I love both bands but I can't imagine how good they would need to be to live up to the hype and attention. It's amazing the gap between the attention given to them and all those other great performers of that period - The Stones, The Who, Jimi, Janis, Cream, Traffic, Pink Floyd, Purple, Fleetwood Mac, Joe Cocker, The Doors, Bowie, Uncle Frank, BB King, King Crimson, The Supremes, Santana, Focus, Aretha, Gong, James Brown, Chicago (pre blow wave), Roxy, Supertramp etc etc.
Surely at least some of the great numbers by all the other outstanding artists would be worth playing instead of the 20000th spin of Stairway or Black Dog or Yesterday ...

Careers & Majors
Most places on campus tell you to choose a major. The truth is that most majors, those without certification, can pursue a wide variety of career paths. This means a business management major and a history major may/will be considered for the same job opportunities.
The Right Fit. Does one area of study make more sense? If you want to be in retail management would it make more sense to be a management major or an English major?
Talk to People. What is important to you? Money, job flexibility, prestige, work/life balance, location, and other factors will help you select a career path that matches you. By speaking with people doing jobs you want will give you insight in to what you need.
Get Experience. Internships, part-time jobs, and volunteering all provide you insight in to the working world.
Short-term. A career is a grouping of jobs woven together by you. Most jobs last one year to ten years. When selecting a "major" select one that will provide flexibility and provide you with a unique quality that will help you shape multiple jobs. A good exercise to verify this point, ask people who graduated 20+ years ago if they are doing the job they majored in.

Please note: The FAQ pages at the HPCVL website are continuously being revised. Some pages might pertain to an older configuration of the system. Please let us know if you encounter problems or inaccuracies, and we will correct the entries.
The HPCVL Working Template is installed on HPCVL machines in the /opt/hwt directory. Access is simple. To run the HWT it might be useful to include the install directory in the $PATH variable, although this is not required:
setenv PATH $PATH":/op/hwt" (for csh)
PATH=$PATH":/opt/hwt"; export PATH (for ksh, bsh, bash)
The WT may be used simply by executing the main script, /opt/hwt/hwt, or if the$PATH variable is set as above, simply type hwt.
Note that this is only the initial run of the WT, and will create a number of other script files in the current working directory. These may then be used for specific tasks. How this is done will be discussed in more detail in the following.
The initial run of hwt generates a script called call.hwt. This script can be used for subsequent calls of the HWT without the need for spelling out the hwt root directory, or to set the $PATH variable. Whenever a source file was modified, or other changes were made, call.hwt will regenerate all files if necessary, and back up the original ones.
