Seven Ray Tabulations
Planets, Colours, Chakras & Jewels of the Seven Rays
Colours vary according to 'exoteric' and 'esoteric' viewpoints, hence different harmonics of vibration. Don't worry too much about seeming contradictions in various texts. Go with your intuition. Chakra assignations vary : in 'average' humanity the non-sacred planets rule except for Venus & Uranus. For "disciples & initiates", the sacred planets rule except for Pluto which rules the Base. The whole subject is extremely intricate.
Virtues and Vices of the Seven Rays
Glamours of the Seven Rays
Dual Expression of the Seven Rays
Seven Rays correspond to many "septenaries", which provide
the basic building blocks of occultism. Planets "rule" rays,
similar to astrological rulerships, hence the interface between Rays,
planets & zodiac signs. Remember though, do not make the mistake
of trying to ascertain the Rays from the horoscope; determining the
Rays, then interpreting the horoscope in light of the Rays, is ideally
the correct procedure.
soul/personality rays.

Chakra Sanskrit - "wheel or disc". An energy centre within one of the subtle bodies, formed by the intersection of many "nadis" or strands of etheric substance, forming the seven main chakras of the human being and the 22 minor chakras.

When one is "initiated", one has already been self initiated, because "to initiate" means to start something that will eventually lead to the higher expansion of awareness.

There are 3 "exoteric" and 3 "esoteric" and Sanat Kumara is the "One" in between who mirrors the unformed (arupa) realms into the formed (rupa) realms. These Kumaras originally came to Earth from the Venus "chain" of the Earth "scheme".
Kundalini The power of Life - one of the forces of nature (feminine) that lies coiled, serpent like at the base of the spine. It creates the foundation of matter, into which spirit incarnates. Awakens naturally through evolution, but can have very destructive effects if prematurely activated through wrong meditation or yogic practices.
Lemuria Continent which preceded Atlantis, the last remnants of which are Australia, Borneo, Madagascar and Easter Island. It was in this race/continent that the "spark of mind" was implanted in humanity.
Logos "God" in a relative sense. There is a Planetary Logos and a Solar Logos. Logos = word : the creative word (mantram) brings all forms into manifestation, whether it is a solar system or a human being.
Lords of Flame One of the great Hierarchies of spiritual beings who guide the solar system. Closely related to the Kumaras.

Maya Illusion on the physical plane. That which the whole planet is enmeshed. See "Glamour".
Masonry Ancient esoteric tradition whereby an attempt is made to align with the forces of Deity, through ritual, allegory and symbol, and thereby anchor those forces upon the physical plane. The "Builders" of Masonry are an allegory for the building, by the soul, of the causal body. Some more modern orders admit women.
Mayavi Rupa Sanskrit "illusory form". Body of manifestation created by a Master through an act of will, for use in the three worlds.
Microcosm The little universe, or a human manifesting through its body, the physical body.

Planetary Logos The informing entity of any planetary scheme, which is made up of many other globes and chains - the physical planet just being one expression of the great life incarnate in a scheme. The Kumaras or Sanat Kumara is simply the personality expression of this great being.

Pranayama The science of rhytmic breathing as applied in meditation.
Raja Lord Angel who ensouls and is the controlling intelligence of a plane.

People on the Move : Shutterfly Adds Two to Management Team to Spur Innovation and Growth
onely Planet's John Boris Appointed Chief Marketing Officer; Peter Elarde Named Senior Vice President, New Business InitiativesApril 24, 2012
Their appointments are part of a broader evolution of the company's organizational structure that reflects its multi-brand strategy, said Housenbold. In January, Shutterfly named Karl Wiley, Greg Hintz and Cindy Wang as general managers of Shutterfly, Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas, respectively, to lead strategy for those units.

His track record of deepening consumer engagement and brand loyalty will ensure that our customers will continue to be able to share, extend and cherish their everyday memories across the Shutterfly family of brands."

Boris brings more than 15 years of business, marketing and strategy planning experience to Shutterfly. He has held leadership roles at Zagat Survey, 1-800-Flowers.com and Fresh Direct.

McAfee All Access 2013 Review
Now owned by Intel, McAfee All Access is a professional-grade personal computer security suite that comes with apps for Mac and Android. It's the premium security product from McAfee, but while its features are top-notch, its competitors do better at security-efficacy benchmarking.
Installation McAfee All Access doesn't have the fastest installation around, but it's not horrifically slow. From download to ready-to-use, the entire process took about six and a half minutes. By contrast, Symantec's Norton goes 0 to 60 in less than a minute.
McAfee appears to have fixed the suite's problems with oversensitivity toward … Read more

Archive for the 'Dan Akerson' tag
Corvettes and Camaros sell for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Photos by Paul Morton, courtesy GM Media.
Following up on previous posts, GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson's Regal Turquoise 1958 Corvette sold for $270,000 at Barrett-Jackson's recent Scottsdale auction. Akerson donated the proceeds from the sale to Habitat for Humanity Detroit, which is spearheading an effort to improve the Motor City's Morningside Commons neighborhood. The buyer of Akerson's '58 was NASCAR team owner and car dealer Rick Hendrick.
Hendrick also purchased the very first 2014 Corvette Stingray, paying a whopping $1.05 million for the honor of adding the car to his growing collection. Proceeds from the sale of the new 'Ray will be donated to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit – a school for auto designers.
Also at Barrett-Jackson, General Motors auctioned off the last 2012 COPO Camaro factory drag car, netting $400,000 to benefit the American Heart Association. The Camaro is one of just two such convertibles built and one of one COPO convertibles painted Inferno Orange.
Finally, GM auctioned off a 2013 Camaro ZL1 Convertible, the third Camaro ZL1 and first convertible off the assembly line. That car sold for $150,000, all of which will go to the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans, an organization that helps injured veterans compete in mainstream athletics, including marathons.
GM CEO to auction off 1958 Corvette for charity
Photo courtesy General Motors.
General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson will auction off his personal 1958 Chevrolet Corvette at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January, and will donate the proceeds of the sale to charity.
Akerson's turquoise and white straight-axle 'Vette is powered by the dual-quad 245hp 283-cu.in. V-8. Out of the 9,168 Corvettes that Chevrolet built in 1958, 510 were painted Regal Turquoise and more than 2,000 received the RPO 469 dual-quad 283. The money from the sale will help Habitat for Humanity Detroit in its efforts to rebuild the Morningside Commons neighborhood located just east of GM's Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit.
"I love the car – but I think it's probably better purposed somewhere else," Akerson said. Akerson had announced the auction back in August, but had not finalized the details of where or when it would go up for auction.
Last February, Ackerson and his wife, Karin, made a personal donation of $1 million to Habitat for Humanity Detroit, helping launch "Leaders to Rebuild Detroit," Habitat's three-year, $25 million initiative to serve at least 500 families in Morningside Commons through house construction, rehabilitation and energy efficient upgrades.
Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction will take place January 13-20. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.

Everyone has their favorite holiday foods that they can't wait another year to have. But when you're hosting a holiday gathering it is always a nice gesture of the hostess to consider a healthier alternative. Everyone one is already putting on the extra winter weight, why not make your gathering the place to go and pig out on the good stuff? Here is a menu from the drinks to dessert of what you should try to avoid serving this holiday for their extra calories and lack of nutrition.
Worst Holiday Foods and Their Healthier Alternatives
Egg nog has got to be one of the worst beverages for you. With or without liquor added to it this drink has over 300 calories per drink and almost 20 grams of fat!
Try this: Switch to hot cocoa which only has about 120 calories if you make it with skim milk or hot water. Hot cocoa is a great drink for kids to enjoy or even the adults who wish to spike it with a little amaretto. Just remember the liquor can add another 100+ calories depending on the serving.
Crab cakes top the list for the worst appetizers you can serve around the holidays. Most recipes call for mayo covered, breadcrumb dunked, and deep fried that add up to well over 400 calories per serving.
Try this: Shrimp cocktail may not be as filling but at least you can still enjoy some seafood on the table. You would have to eat about 30 of them before you catch up to the crab cake intake. They also require no work on your part other than rinsing off the shrimp, and displaying it nicely with a bowl of cocktail sauce.
Prime rib is the worst holiday entrée you can serve, and not just because it's practically the most expensive main course, but because you can easily consume over 700 calories in an oversized portion. This cut comes from the fattiest part of the cow which explains the layers of fat that surround the actual meat. Even the best cuts of prime rib will be marbled with fat.
Try this: Beef tenderloin is just as filling with less than 170 calories per serving. It is seasonally appropriate and can be just as much of a crowd pleaser with the right fixings.
Pecan Pie probably isn't worse than your family recipe of banana bread that calls for 6 pounds of butter but it tops our list as the worst dessert you can serve for its 810 calories per serving and 55 grams of sugar.
Try this: a chocolate fondue has less than half the sugar and calories. It is also a great focal point for your guests to socialize around. You can add just about anything that you think will taste good covered in chocolate like; marshmallows, strawberries, pineapples, bananas, graham crackers, pretzels, cherries, you name it!
With these few suggestions, your guests will be talking about what a great time they had at your gathering rather than being stuffed and rolling around all evening in their holiday attire that is suddenly a little too tight.
What are some of your favorite Holiday foods that could be improved?
Are your favorite holiday foods considered a healthier alternative?

Halloween is the time of year we get to dress as someone else for a while – which, as we all know, is a lot of fun! Adults, children, and household pets can all enjoy dressing up in their Halloween costumes.
Halloween costumes are often graphically gruesome, but they can also be pretty or heroic. You could also dress as a movie character.
Here are the five themes that are typically very popular choices for Halloween.
1. Top of the list are Alice in Wonderland costumes modeled on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie. The most wanted costumes are the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and Alice. Alice costumes are demure or sexy – whichever you want to be.
2. Costumes from the movie "Avatar" come in second. You can make costumes for all the characters, or buy them in stores or online. The most popular, however, is the costume for Neytiri, complete with tail. It is made of a stretchy bodysuit in a vibrant blue with darker blue stripes, just like in the movie.
The Neytiri costume for women is tight and sexy, and comes with the bodysuit, apron, arm gauntlet and multicolored beads.
There are also Neytiri costumes available for girls.
Boys and men can choose the costumes of men such as Jake Sully, either as a human or a Na'avi.
3. Theme number 3 is yet another movie. These costumes are from the Batman movie Batman Brave and Bold.
Men and boys can be Batman, looking dashing, courageous and powerful, along with the cape and ears.
And girls aren't left out. You can find some fantastic Batgirl costumes. Batman, Batgirl and the Joker from Batman Dark Knight are the most popular Batman costumes this year.
4. Cleopatra costumes for girls and women are also very popular at the moment. Of course, they are all styled somewhat differently.
Girls are loving the Cleopatra costume that comprises a flowing white dress with gold and Nile blue collar, belt, cape and wrist cuffs. There is also a gold headpiece for the Queen of the Nile.
5. Next are the costumes, gloves and helmets from the video game, Halo 3 Master Chief.
This one is for the boys! You can get it in adult and teen sizes. As well as regular costume quality, there's also a supreme edition for adults. This one includes a high quality dark quilted jumpsuit with EVA molded armor, molded gauntlets, and boot tops, and a two-piece deluxe Master Chief helmet.
Of course, it all comes down to choosing what works for YOU, and being whoever you want to be! VAMPIRES – VAMPIRES – VAMPIRES ! !

So, now KILLING someone is what a Christian commentator calls a rewardable behavior. Let me think about this... Jesus... Compassion... Murder... Hmmm... Who Would Jesus Kill? Hmmm...February 23 2011 at 2:23 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
It seems that in order for one to be worthy of receiving the Medal of Honor anymore, he or she must be a killer. Killing an enemy is held by some as the criteria for selecting Medal of Honor recipients. It is too bad that some Conservatives try to tie Jesus into their mindset of war-mongering. Jesus never advocated war. He never claimed ownership of the idea of war that taints this kingdom (and its war treasures and trophies). For those who care what he said, he said that his kingdom is NOT of this world. He also said if his kingdom were of this world, his disciples would fight. Further, if this gentleman would only look up a little higher, he would see that he does a grave disservice to the Man he uses as an example of, or excuse for, killing enemies versus savings comrades or others who need help. He claims Jesus acted on behalf of the PLANET. This little insignificant globe down here is not the only Creation. In other words, the Creation is infinite; therefore, the planet is not the entire interest Christ came down to bring Light to.December 04 2010 at 8:25 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

One must wonder if Mr. Fischer himself has ever served in the military, or whether the most dangerous thing he's ever faced personally is a computer keyboard?

""Jesus' act of self-sacrifice would ultimately have been meaningless -- yes, meaningless -- if he had not inflicted a mortal wound on the enemy while giving up his own life," Fischer wrote". From the context, it would appear he means LITERALLY, not figuratively. Sgt Giunta, aiding his OWN fellow soldiers, inflicted a FIGURATIVE blow to the enemy, not a literal blow, but that doesn't seem to count in Mr. Fischer's eyes. So I ask - how many Romans and/or Jews did Jesus kill, LITERALLY? I just can't find that statistic in the Bible I own. Maybe mine (King James version) is a censored version? Wondering where he got that info. Please, Mr. Fischer, show me the Biblical quote on how many Jesus literally killed. Admittedly, many have been killed IN the name of Jesus, long after he died. But Jesus himself? Boy, Mr Fischer must have inside info that I never heard!November 28 2010 at 6:12 AM Report abuse Permalink +6 rate up rate down Reply

I wonder if Mr.Fischer had a son or daughter serving in Iraq or Afganistan and they were wounded, and another soldier saved their lives, would he speak such a callous statement.November 27 2010 at 7:46 PM Report abuse Permalink +8 rate up rate down Reply

Students Play Key Role in Historic Proposition 8 Marriage Case; Le Coney '10 Shares Thoughts on Experience
The students had worked on the case, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, as part of their participation in the San Francisco Affirmative Litigation Project (SFALP) working with the San Francisco City Attorney's Office. San Francisco was the only organization allowed to intervene in the trial on the Plaintiffs' side, and it argued that Proposition 8 presents a financial burden to the City of San Francisco, other California cities and counties, and the State of California. But that was not the only issue SFALP students dealt with, and at the end of the day, says SFALP fellow Kaitlin Ainsworth '10, all the students' efforts were important in the case.
"The impact that marriage has on city and state coffers seems to have gone into Judge Walker's analysis of whether California has a valid, rational reason to distinguish between same-sex and opposite-sex couples," said Ainsworth, "but it is was far from the only factor in his analysis. Many of the other elements that SFALP students worked on—like their investigation of expert witnesses from both sides and their study of laws in other states regarding LGBT rights—made their way into this decision as well."
SFALP co-founder and faculty advisor Heather Gerken, the J. Skelly Wright Professor of Law, added, "The students did an incredible amount of work on the case and often worked under intense timelines. But they were thrilled to do it. After all, how many law students get a chance to work on a case like this? Some people are calling it 'the trial of the century.' At the very least, this case seems destined for the history books, and I'm proud that our students were part of it."
Eight Yale law students worked on the trial during the fall semester, among them Kaitlin Ainsworth '10, Christopher Le Coney '10, Eric Fish '11, Theresa Lee '11, Gabriela Rivera '11, and Adam Yoffie '11. Several remained for the spring semester as the trial was wrapping up; they helped the attorneys get ready for closing arguments and prepare for what will likely be a lengthy appeals process.
Chris Le Coney, one of those who stayed on, shared his reflections on what SFALP students agree was an amazing experience, and a highlight of their time at Yale.
The San Francisco Affirmative Litigation Project is funded by The Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fund at Yale Law School.

It seems like all of the films set in modern day cities have an error, the people never know what zombies are even though zombies have been in popular culture for some time. Even parodies like "Shaun of the Dead" never touch on this phenomenon. Why wouldn't they know and if they did wouldn't they have to toil with myth and fact I think. It would make the stories that much more intriguing.
It's genre blindness (Warning! TVTropes link!). It's not just zombies, that happens in many genres. For example, when there's something frightening out in the woods, why do young teens split up in small groups, have sex, then wander about all alone, with the women wearing almost nothing? You'd think they'd know better because it's always when you're alone and often after you've had sex that you get killed in some gruesome way.
It also works for long running TV shows, like in Star Trek IV, when they arrive in San Francisco in the 1980s and Dr. Gillian Taylor hears Kirk's communicator beep and she doesn't make any Star Trek jokes, or for people in London who see a blue police call box and don't start making jokes about Doctor Who.
Essentially, in most cases, people have a blindness to the genre the film or TV show is part of. But there is also the exact opposite of this, genre savvy (Warning! Another TVTropes link!). This is when the characters show an awareness of what happens in movies or TV shows that are similar to their current situation. And they often point out all the connections to the tropes that show up in their situation or say, "I told you so," when someone comes up with a genre blind plan that fails.

NOBLE CREEK. Noble (Nobles) Creek rises in extreme western Lamar County (at 33°36' N, 95°49' W) just west of Petty and northeast of the intersection of Farm Road 38 with U.S. Highway 82. It runs south for seven miles to its mouth (at 33°31' N, 95°48' W) on the North Sulphur River, four miles southeast of Harmon at Farm Road 38. It traverses flat to gently rolling terrain surfaced by dark clays that support grasses and some water-tolerant hardwoods and conifers. At its mouth low-lying floodplains are surfaced by sand and gravel.

|Tuesday, 11 June 2013 07:00
Wells Fargo, along with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, today announced the final standings in the Wells Fargo Conference Cup competitions for the 2012-2013 academic year.
The Wells Fargo Cup award, sponsored by Wells Fargo and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state's four competitive classifications.
The Wells Fargo Conference Cup is a companion to the Wells Fargo Cup and recognizes schools with the best overall interscholastic athletic performances within individual conferences. Wachovia and now Wells Fargo has sponsored the conference awards program since 1980.
In most conferences, points are awarded based on participation and standings in conference play. Each conference determines its own method of awarding points. Conferences are listed alphabetically by classification.
Sweeping the conference outdoor track and field championships and finishing second in men's tennis this spring, Watauga secures the Conference Cup. Hickory settles for second with championships in men's tennis and men's golf, while Alexander Central leaps past Fred T. Foard to finish third in the conference thanks to league titles in baseball and softball. Conference Standings: Watauga 193, Hickory 186, Alexander Central 166, Fred T. Foard 161, St. Stephens 161, South Caldwell 160.5, Hibriten 135.
Hendersonville wins the Conference Cup with top performances in baseball and men's and women's outdoor track and field this spring. Top finishes in women's soccer and men's tennis earn Charles D. Owen second place in the conference, while Polk County finishes third after a runner-up performance in baseball. Conference Standings: Hendersonville 190.5, Charles D. Owen 183, Polk County 175.5, Mountain Heritage 163.5, Avery County 150.5, Thomas Jefferson 148.5, Mitchell 132, Madison 129.
The winter frontrunner Wilkes Central maintains its top form through the spring and captures the Conference Cup with a league title in baseball and second-place finishes in women's soccer and men's tennis. Forbush passes Elkin to finish the year in second thanks to championships in women's soccer and men's golf. Elkin settles for third with a conference crown in men's tennis. Conference Standings: Wilkes Central 124, Forbush 109, Elkin 104, West Wilkes 100.5, Ashe County 96.5, East Wilkes 76.5, Starmount 76.5, North Wilkes 70, Alleghany 49.

A year ago, defensemen Philip Samuelsson and Patrick Wey made the journey to Lake Placid, N.Y., to compete for spots on the 2010 U.S. World Junior Championship team.
They came up short in their quest, and instead watched from afar as the players they competed with memorably won gold in Saskatoon.
This August, the pair was back again and had a far better showing, surviving the first round of cuts.
"I already made it a little farther than I did last year, so that's a good step," Wey told NHL.com.
Wey, a 6-foot-3, 203-pounder taken by the Washington Capitals in the fourth round of the 2009 Entry Draft, arrived in Lake Placid a few months after scoring 34 points in 58 games for Waterloo of the USHL. He admits now he was not prepared for the level of play at the camp.
"Last year was a big eye opener for me," Wey said. "I had had a pretty good year in Waterloo and I was pretty excited about going to Boston College, and then coming in here and seeing the speed and the talent was a really big eye opener."
Pittsburgh Penguins 2009 second-round pick, also was overwhelmed by the speed of the players assembled last year.
"Coming in here last year I was little bit over my head with the competition that was here at the camp," he told NHL.com. "It was a good pace of hockey and there were a lot of talented players out there. For me, it was tough to adjust to the pace of the game. That was something I struggled with last year."
He had scored 22 points in 54 games for Fargo of the USHL, but he could accept he just wasn't good enough -- then.
Rather than sulk, both players moved on to Boston College and raised their individual levels of play, as well as their team's. Samuelsson had 14 points in 42 games to help BC win Beanpot, Hockey East and NCAA titles.
"Winning the national championship and the Beanpot and Hockey East was great success and hopefully something we can try to do this year again," Samuelsson said. "Personally I think I had a great year. I didn't know what to expect coming in and I stepped in and played every night. I was able to fight for my ice time and prove I could play at that level of hockey."
Wey had a bit of a harder time, as a number of injuries -- including a broken wrist, a concussion and a bout with mononucleosis diagnosed the week the NCAA Tournament started -- limited him to just 5 points in 27 games.
However, both players feel they grew from their college experience and it benefitted them at this year's national junior evaluation camp.
"I think I've definitely progressed in all aspects of the game," Samuelsson said. "My skating definitely has improved. Coming in here last year I was little bit over my head with the competition that was here at the camp. This year I was a bit more prepared and knew what to expect coming in. It's a great experience for me so far to be here."
Samuelsson didn't have any points in the two international exhibition games he played, but those watching noticed marked improvement.
"Against the Swedes there the first couple shifts he didn't look like he was quite ready for the pace and he adjusted; last year I'm not sure he would have been able to adjust on the fly," Penguins Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting Randy Sexton told NHL.com. "Two shifts and he made an adjustment and I thought he had a really steady game against a good Swedish team. Part of it is maturity, part of it is experience. He's stronger physically but the level of mental preparation is better."
Wey also feels better about his chances looking forward to Buffalo and the 2011 U.S. WJC team thanks in part to his performance at the Capitals' prospect camp earlier this summer.
"I felt like I had more confidence and was just more comfortable with the process," Wey said. "It wasn't someplace where I was completely in awe of the players. … I think they (coaches) helped me focus on what my role should be moving forward, and developing that as a defensive defenseman."
Capitals coaches also are happy with Wey's development.
"He looks so much more comfortable out there," Washington assistant coach Bob Woods told CSNWashington.com. "I think that first year is always the unexpected and you can tell guys are nervous. Now he's been here and he knows our system and has been through it before. Everything is coming a little more natural and he can just play. He is showing that, and you can tell he is developing and maturing as a young guy. I think he's only going to get better."
Like last year, Samuelsson and Wey plan on using the Lake Placid summer camp as a springboard to their season at BC. This year, however, they plan on making a 10-day stopover in Buffalo.

These "burgers" are almost good enough to make you think, "Hey, maybe being vegetarian wouldn't be that bad." (Okay, we said almost!) The real deal-sealers are the portobello mushrooms that take on a meaty taste and texture, especially after being marinated and infused with wood smoke. Dress them up with grilled onions and melted cheese and she's a sure-winner.
PREP TIME: 5 minutes plus 4 to 6 hours to marinateCOOK TIME: 50 minutesRECOMMENDED PELLETS: AnySERVES: 4
INGREDIENTS4 large Portobello mushrooms, each 4- to 5-inches across 3/4 cup Traeger Carne Asada Marinade, or your favorite marinade for beef 1 onion, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds 4 ounces mozzarella or muenster cheese, thinly sliced 1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced 4 tablespoons butter, melted 4 large kaiser-style hamburger rolls, split Pickles, lettuce leaves, mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup for serving
Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems.
Put the mushrooms and the onion slices into a resealable bag along with the Traeger Carne Asada Marinade. Let marinate, refrigerated, for 4 to 6 hours.
Drain. You can refrigerate the marinade and reuse if desired, since it only touched vegetables, and not meat.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
Arrange the mushrooms (gill-side down) and onion slices on the grill grate and smoke for 30 minutes.
Increase the temperature to 350 degrees F and flip the mushrooms gill-side up. Cook the mushrooms and onions for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until the mushrooms are tender. The onions can still retain a bit of crunch.
When the mushrooms are almost done, top each with one-fourth of the cheese and let it melt.
Brush the cut sides of the rolls with the melted butter. Grill, cut-side down, for a few minutes, or until they just begin to brown.
Transfer the bottom halves of the buns to plates or a platter. Top with the cheese-filled mushroom, onion slices, tomato, pickle, lettuce leaves, and bun tops. Serve with your favorite condiments.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- You may have a tough time finding some vegetables next time you go shopping.
Wegmans tells us that rainy, and wintry conditions out west and in Mexico have impacted their supply chain. As a result, some vegetables may be in short supply, including all organically grown produce.
Here are the specific items that have been affected: asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, celery hearts, romaine lettuce and baby leaf lettuce.
Wegmans says the weather will impact when these products are fully back in stock.

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
30 wonton wrappers (3 x 3 inches each)

In medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, dried plums, parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper. Set aside. For each ravioli, brush edges of 1 wrapper with egg white. Place 2 teaspoons dried plum mixture onto center. Fold diagonally in half to form a triangle; seal edges, pressing to remove and air pockets. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Refrigerate on wax paper lined baking sheet up to 2 hours or until ready to cook. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, cook butter and sage over medium high heat until butter begins to turn brown. Remove from heat and keep warm. In large saucepan, add half of the ravioli to boiling water. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Using slotted spoon, remove ravioli to individual serving bowls. Repeat with remaining ravioli. Drizzle each serving with sage butter.

Jean Harris, architect Downing Thomas, and professional filmmaker Bob Jessup created the short unfinished film after discovering that the Harris' ornate folding screen exactly illustrated the classic tale.

Architects Frank Harmon and Audie Schechter remember their days with Harris.
Born in Redlands CA, Harris grew up in the Imperial Valley area and later attended San Bernardino High School. In 1923, he moved to Los Angeles to attend the Otis Art Institute and in 1925, he began to study drawing and painting with Stanton Macdonald-Wright at the Art Students League. He enrolled at the Frank Wiggins Trade School and found work in the studio of Richard Neutra. His ambition to be a sculptor, however, was changed after visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House. It was an epiphany for him to study architecture instead of pure art.
Soon he applied to the architecture program at the University of California at Berkeley. He never attended, however, as he found employment with Richard Neutra and Rudolf Schindler. Neutra discouraged him from attending formal classes in architecture although he did study under Neutra at the Los Angeles Academy of Modern Art. While in Neutra's office, he worked on the Lovell Health House and the Rush City Competition. Neutra was a master of publicity, a skill Harris learned and applied to his own career.
In 1933, Harris left the Neutra office to establish his own independent practice in Los Angeles. His first commissions were for small homes, based on a modular system, in which he applied the modernist principles he had learned in the offices of Neutra and Schindler. In 1937, John Entenza, the influential editor of California Arts and Architecture, commissioned Harris to design his own home.
In 1943, Harris moved to New York where he taught at Columbia University. He moved back to California by 1944 and in 1952, Harris accepted the position of Dean for the School of Architecture at The University of Texas. Although he lacked both formal architectural training and administrative experience, he expanded the School's programs and attempted to revolutionize the methods of teaching. Harris directly involved some of the students in the design process when he collaborated with them on the Texas State Fair House (1954), offering them actual experience with the design and construction process. Harris hired new faculty whose innovative ideas clashed with the traditional Beaux-Arts methods still in use in Texas. Later known as the "Texas Rangers," Harris hired Colin Rowe, John Hejduk, Robert Slutsky, Werner Seligmann, and Herbert Hirsche. The autocratic nature of Harris's new theory for teaching design, however, created enormous tensions within the school, which interfered with his own private practice. As a result, Harris resigned as dean in the summer of 1955. He moved to Dallas where he continued to practice until 1962, designing homes that were brilliantly adapted to the harsh Texas climate. That year Harris accepted a teaching position at the NCSU School of Design where he taught until retirement.
Harris received numerous awards, including the Richard Neutra Medal for Professional Excellence in 1982. Harris's work was published extensively and appeared in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art (1939, 1943, 1943, 1945, and 1953), the National Gallery of Art (1957), and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum (1977). In addition, several one-man exhibitions of his work have been held at North Carolina State University (1981), the Museum of Art in Fayetteville, North Carolina (1982) and The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture (1985). Harris was made a fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1965 and received an honorary doctorate from North Carolina State University in 1985.
When Harris died in 1990, he gave his drawings and other design materials to the Center for the Study of American Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin; his library of books to NCSU; his extensive collection of Bernard Ralph Maybeck materials to the Bancroft Library in Berkeley CA; and his extension collection of Henry and Charles Greene materials to the Avery Library at Columbia University. He left his home/office at 122 Cox Avenue to NCSU's School of Design to endow an annual lecture. Since then, the Harris lecture series included Joseph Esherick, Glenn Murcutt, Enrique Norten, Rick Joy, Bernard Tschumi, Herman Hertzberger, and his close friend Frank Harmon.

Fletcher Lankton, of Peoria IL designed a utility core that brought together all the plumbing pipes, wiring conduits and other necessary mechanical items in one unit that could be manufactured off site and inserted into a house under construction. The unit included a furnace, water softener and heater, plumbing for bathroom, laundry and kitchen, and electric, gas and ventilation connections. It was a mere 2.5 feet wide, 7.5 feet long and 6.5 feet high and would fit through any standard door. The design saved scarce metal, allowed the elimination of a basement, and was fast since it could be installed in less than one day. Lankton persuaded Kalamazoo's Ingersoll Steel and Disc Division of the Borg-Warner Corporation to build the prototype.

Metro, the company tasked with co-ordinating public transport services for Yorkshire, is on the hunt for a partner to provide a data centre solution, with staff and support arrangements.
Metro states in a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union that the partner should be able to offer fully redundant environments, a high level of physical security with appropriate monitoring, ISO27001 accreditation, a minimum business impact level compliance of IL2, Virgin Media Business POP and datacentre staff onsite 24/7 throughout the year. It also wants the data centre to be accessible by Metro staff 24/7 on any given day of the year.
The company said that the data centre partner should offer flexibility surrounding data centre hosting solutions, and is therefore seeking a partner that can provide services beyond pure rack space.
According to Metro, the provider "could be able to offer" the ability to procure and manage a new dedicated hardware infrastructure for Metro, the ability to offer access to a managed virtual infrastructure (IaaS), the ability to supply rack space exclusive to Metro, and the ability to offer a hybrid solution of rack space, IaaS and managed infrastructure.
It adds that a range of bespoke service support arrangements should also be offered to allow Metro ICT staff to focus on "critical delivery".
It suggests that the partner should offer the following arrangements: co-operation with third-party vendors undertaking work on behalf of Metro; hardware patching for co-located infrastructure; operating system level patching for co-located servers; management of back-up tape rotation if required; and a managed firewall as a service.
"The data centre hosting provider should demonstrate experience in migrating infrastructure services, not only for assurance but to ensure a range of consultancy needs can be met if and when required," the tender states.
Metro said that the provider is not only being sought for hosting existing infrastructure but to offer possible solutions to future projects.
The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The length and value of the contract are not disclosed in the tender.
