I loved this cookies! They are classic southern treats! I found that using home made lemon curd was a great way to pump up the lemon flavor by using that instead of a glaze. make these cookies often and everyone always likes them!flag if inappropriate
Personally I wasn't impressed with these...but 3 weeks after making them (and sending them to my husbands' work) he's getting requests for them. Go figure! I think I'd like them with a more pronounced lemon punch - which perhaps increasing the zest will do next time!flag if inappropriate
I made these for a large group and they really liked them, at least two requesting the recipe. Though they were nice, I thought they tasted rather unexciting and will most likely not make them again.flag if inappropriate
In general, I prefer cookies with some form of chocolate but these cookies were absolutely divine. I made them for my ladies poker night and everyone complimented me on them. Two things though: make sure the cookies are very cool before stacking as they will stick to each other and also, they are fine the second day (or even the third) just be sure to wrap them tightly or store them in a sealed container.flag if inappropriate
The texture is the highlight of these cookies. They were perfect - with a crispness around the perimeter and light and soft inside. The flavor was pretty good. (Since I'm not a huge fan of the sugar cookie family, my lackluster response is par for the course.) The glaze didn't work well for me. It looked pretty on top of the cookies, but it was just too sweet. For me, it didn't bring anything to the party except the harsh, overly sweet taste of confectioner's sugar - which isn't needed here.flag if inappropriate
They are wonderful. Even my business partner's little girl who does not like anything loved them. I would add more lemon zest.flag if inappropriate
i got rave reviews for these cookies! so i made them 2 days in a row! my husband and i shared one to taste and we both thought they were great. fun to make, easy to glaze and delicious. i used the zest of 1 lemon to simplify things - it turns out to be about 2 tsp. i'll definitely put this recipe in my favorites.flag if inappropriate
These were great. I added a half cup more sugar to the dough. Refrigerated, the dough was good for several days. I baked up a dozen at a time, and they disappeared in minutes via family members. I used oven thermometers to make sure the oven was not too hot.flag if inappropriate
So easy and good. It says they're best the day they're made, but I thought the flavor improved each following day.flag if inappropriate
I think this is a mediocre recipe. I definitely wouldn't consider making it again.flag if inappropriate

Making BDC (Business Data Catalog) work with FBA (Form Based Authentication) requires a bit of work. If you have a FBA site, drag & drop a BDC web part and reference it to a BDC entity, you might see the below error:
There are no Business Data Types loaded in the Catalog.
This is because the site that's using form based authentication is not able to communicate with BDC that's expecting NTLM credentials. You need to follow the below steps to make BDC work on a site that uses form based authentication:
1. First extend the default Shared Service provider to another zone.
2. Configure the other zone to use FBA.
3. Assign a form based authenticated user as secondary site administrator for Shared Service provider.
4. Grant this form based authenticated user privileges on BDC.
5. You should be able to make BDC work by setting the AuthenticationMode to either RdbCredentials or RevertToSelf (provided Anonymous access is enabled in the site).
Well, the above is in a nutshell. But if you are like me who needs a walk-through on the above, see the below section. I used the sample BDC application definition file for AdventureWorksDW SQL Server 2005 database available here. The BDC application definition file for AdventureWorks SQL Server 2000 database is available here.
Just in case you don't have the sample AdventureWorks database(s) and would like to install it to get your hands dirty with BDC, you can download and install it from the below links:
The database sample provided for SQL Server 2005 is a little confusing as you can see once you visit the above link. Just remember that you need to download the sample database that's named "AdventureWorksBI.msi" OR "AdventureWorksBICI.msi" to be used along with BDC application definition sample for SQL Server 2005. In case, you want to be able to use the BDC application definition sample for SQL Server 2000 against SQL Server 2005, then you need to download "AdventureWorksDB.msi" OR "AdventureWorksDBCI.msi". I hope this part is clear. This is very important because I've seen a lot many customers downloading incorrect database and running into BIG issue before they even start with BDC.
For people like me, the complete steps are provided below:
1. We first need to extend the default SharedService provider to another zone that we will configure to use FBA. To do this follow the below steps:
a. Goto *Application Management* in your *SharePoint Central Administration site*.
b. Click *Web application list* and make sure the web application that's hosting SharedService provider is selected.
c. Then choose *Create or Extend Web Application* option and the from the next screen choose *Extend an existing Web application*.
d. From the next screen make sure your default SharedService provider web application is selected in the *Web Application* dropdown.
e. Change the port number and leave the rest of the setting to their defaults.
f. In the *Zone* dropdown, choose *Internet* and hit *Ok*.
2. After this is done, open *Windows Explorer* and navigate to the root directory of the newly extended web application. For example, if the port at which the web application is extended is 200, you need to navigate to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\200\.
3. Open the *web.config* file from this location and add the <connectionString/> data of your FBA authentication provider. You can pick this one up from your original FBA site's web.config file.
4. After this, choose *Authentication Providers* under *Application Security* group from SharePoint Central Administration and you should see 2 zones displayed there.
5. Choose the *Internet* zone that we created, change the *Authentication Type* to *Forms* from the next screen and provide your *Membership provider Name*. For e.g., if you are testing using SQL server membership provider, you need to specify *AspNetSqlMembershipProvider* and hit *Save*.
6. After this, choose *Site Collection Owners* option under *Application Management* in central administration page. Make sure the SharedService provider URL is selected in *Site Collection* dropdown.
7. Search for any FBA users you might have created against the *Secondary Site Collection Administrator* option and you should be able to resolve the FBA user. This indicates that the extended SharedService provider is setup correctly and is also using FBA for authenticating users. Do an IISRESET at this point.
8. Now open the default SharedService provider web application, and choose *Business Data Catalog permissions* under *Business Data Catalog* section.
9. From the next screen, hit *Add Users/Groups* and type in the FBA authenticate user and you should be able to resolve it. Provide full control for this user.
10. Now, browse to the extended URL (e.g., http://servername:200/ssp/admin) and you should be able to login using the FBA credentials.
11. You should be able to upload the BDC application definition now.
12. Finally, you should make sure the FBA web site is using the currently extended Shared Services provider. Note: you will not be able to see the extend web application, however, make sure the FBA site is listed under the original Shared Services provider that you just now extended.
13. After this do an IISRESET and now you should be able to get the BDC working.
I hope this post is informative and useful.

Good Creme

Have used this for two years. Creamy, smooth, not oily. Keeps my skin soft, guess that helps with the wrinkles.
Very good cream
Posted by 5141068738645584542 on Jan 10, 2013
Very good cream. I have dry skin, and it moistures it gently and leaves it feeling soft. I use it at summer as a day cream. But if you live in countries with a mild climate - i think, you can use it both as a day and night cream. It is not greasy, and its price is very attractive.

Re: Touch interfaces are expensive
Making it so I never have to see TIFKAM ever again unless I really want to play phone apps on a computer would be nice. The Win7 start menu could make a reappearance. You know, the menu with the commonly used programs available straight away, and the heirarchical tree to help avoid information overload?
No, "install a 3rd party start menu" is not a solution. That's what you do if Canonical has fucked up the UI again, but their stuff is free. Microsoft's is anything but.

On this Veteran's Day
Original post made by Hal Bailey, another community, on Nov 10, 2008
Please take a moment today to understand your role in wars past and present. Ask how all people in our country contribute to war and can provoke peace. What actions do we each take beyond the ballot box to set the policy and actions of our governments and our representatives?
I will suggest a goal for your thoughts. Let us commit to not create any more veterans of foreign wars. Let's honor all veterans today with our commitment to our own defense and to pursue peace throughout our world.
Take a moment on this Veteran's Day.

Projector Bike Light Prevents Cyclists Being In Driver's Blind Spot [Video]
Kickstarter project aims to make bikers more visible to cars and pedestrians.
The BLAZE Bike Light tackles the problem of cyclists being hit by a car when a driver changes lanes without seeing the bike. BLAZE includes a bright LED front light, and also features a lazer module that projects a symbol of a cyclist onto the road. The projected symbol is to alert drivers and pedestrians that a bike is approaching. This feature is able to reduce the chances of the biker being hit when they're in a vehicle's blind spot.
The bike light is encased in a machined aluminum with silver nickel control panels. The current prototype is super compact, lightweight, and also waterproof. The BLAZE is available for pre-order on Kickstarter starting at £50. Watch the video below for more details.

Do You Do the Drupal?
The Drupal content management system is one of the most popular engines for dynamic websites — indeed, it powers the site you're visiting right now. All this powering doesn't happen by itself, though, and the developer community that does the dirty work behind the scenes is in need of a bit of Linux labor.
The Testing and Quality Assurance team at Drupal are "the plumbers who keep the community plumbing from leaking." While they once spent their time reviewing patches one-by-one to assure stability, they now employ a testing bot to automatically apply patches to test installations, freeing up tester time to tackle greater things.
All this wrangling and testing requires time and energy from the wranglers of course, and equally important, it requires resources. The test installations the testing bot utilizes are hosted on a network of donated servers specially configured for the purpose. As the law of large numbers would suggest, eventually some of these servers experience "issues." While some of these "issues" are easily resolved by a restart or reinstall, others need a bit more wrangling to beat into submission. That's where the team's call to the Linux savvy comes in.
If you're "comfortable with Linux" and have some skill in testing and debugging, the team would be extremely grateful to have you join their efforts. Besides debugging server issues, they are also in need of volunteers who can help tune the network of servers for maximum performance, including those familiar with PHP caching, MySQL in memory, and "the usual." There is also a need for — presumably Drupal savvy — volunteers to help establish the second generation of Drupal testing, including deploying test clients and resolving whatever issues may arise.
Even those who lack the time or skills to donate have a part to play, as the team is also looking for "decent" servers on which to test. Though the specifics of what qualifies as "decent" aren't spelled out, the call for help does indicate that those donated should be ones "that can run an entire battery of tests in a reasonable period of time."
We here at Linux Journal are big fans of Drupal — indeed, our lovely and talented webmistress Katherine is a master at wrangling it to her will. We hope LinuxJournal.com readers will answer the call to help keep the project at the highest quality. Not only will those who lend a hand gain the satisfaction of a job well done, they might just end up testing what could be the next new feature right here on LinuxJournal.com.
If you have skills or servers to donate to the cause, please contact Drupal's Testing and Quality Assurance team or visit #drupal-infrastructure on irc.freenode.net. (While you're there, don't forget to visit us in #linuxjournal.)

HTC brings DLNA to non-DLNA TVs
As John Wang stood on stage yesterday announcing the updated features you'll be able to access through the latest version of HTC Sense, there was one little detail that got slightly glossed over.
Whilst describing the new DLNA-friendly skills that the HTC Desire HD and the HTC Desire Z will come with, Wang said that they would solve the problem for older TVs too. What he means, whilst flashing a slide up, was that HTC would be releasing an accessory for your TV if you don't have one that's already DLNA equipped.
We cornered a lab rat who revealed that the device has been known internally as Tube "we have codenames for everything" he said with a smirk and a wink.
The device connects to your TV via HDMI and to your Wi-Fi network and will then register as a DLNA location on your phone so you can send your content to your older TV. Its worth remembering that DLNA has only really started appearing in TVs in the last year, so this bridge makes perfect sense and could be a benefit to lots of customers, as long as you have HDMI, of course.
Slashgear are referring to the Tube as "Media Link", but when we talked to our lab guy he had no idea what the commercial name was going to be: "it's come straight out of the lab" he told us with a chuckle. Media Link seems to make sense, since it, well, links media.
We had a hands-on demo of the device, and the remote control interface displayed on the HTC Desire HD looked simple enough and the dude confirmed that if you had a DLNA compatible network drive, you'd be able to access content on that drive too through the new HTC Sense feature. We're hoping you can access network content and play it on your non-DLNA-TV-with-DLNA-adapter.
He also confirmed that as it was DLNA, you'll be able to theoretically use it with any DLNA phone, although he hadn't tested this theory in his lab.
No word on price unfortunately.

Little-Known Archaeological Site Could Answer Questions About The Enigmatic Indus Valley Civilization
Its remains rest almost unnoticeable near the small village of Rakhigarhi in northwest India. On the surface, its most visible features consist of well-ordered mounds of cow dung cakes, nature's fertilizer for the present-day local villagers' farming operations. Ox carts routinely transport their agricultural supplies over its ancient mounds and into the fields every day. Below the surface, however, lay an expansive network of ruins and artifacts that would betray an ancient city that would rival, and likely exceed, the enormity of the Indus Valley civilization's best known archaeological site, Mohenjo-Daro. At 224 hectares, it is the largest known Harrapan (Indus Civilization) site in India....

Film Preview
Sundance Goes Under the Sea
"Coral: Rekindling Venus" at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History
By Devin D. O'Leary
The world-famous Sundance Film Festival takes over Park City, Utah, Jan. 17 through 27. Drive fast, and you can still catch the tail end. Most years, though, the average person has no chance of seeing any of the films being screened in this rarified setting. Movie houses are jam-packed with celebrity guests and studio executives looking for the next indie hit. That leaves little room for average Joes. But this year, you've got a chance to see a Sundance premiere. And you don't even have to go to Utah to catch it.

BT Debuts Live English Premier League Soccer Coverage
With more than 400,000 tuning in, the telecom giant's initial figures fell short of BSkyB's 2 million for its first game of the campaign.
LONDON – U.K. telecom giant BT's first live English Premier League soccer match on BT Sport averaged more than 400,000 viewers as the telecom kicked off its rivalry with Rupert Murdoch's pay TV powerhouse BSkyB in earnest on Saturday, Aug. 17.
The figure, while less than a quarter of the audience for Sky Sports' live game later on the same day, BT Sport said the audience "compares very well with Sky's first game last season despite them having had years to establish an audience as opposed to weeks and a bigger subscriber base."
BT Sport debuted its soccer coverage with Liverpool vs. Stoke City, the English soccer league's first game of the 2013-14 season, while Sky showed Swansea vs. Manchester United.
Liverpool beat Stoke by a solitary goal.
The game was BT Sport's only program to hit the pay TV ratings top 20 on Saturday or Sunday, according to a Guardian report.
BT Sport chief Simon Green noted in a statement that the figures from audience research company BARB "don't tell the whole story" as the telecom giant has "hundreds of thousands of customers who can watch via platforms that BARB doesn't capture."
Green said that according to BARB data, the Liverpool vs. Stoke game peaked at 764,000 and averaged 447,000 viewers across the match.
"The season ahead promises to be a great one for fans and BT Sport will be at the heart of the action. Three million homes already are able to watch BT Sport on their TVs, and we have received some great feedback saying how fresh and vibrant our coverage is," said Green.
The top-rated pay TV program on Saturday and Sky Sports' best performer over the weekend was the Man U match, which averaged more than 2 million viewers simulcast across Sky Sports 1, pay TV entertainment channel Sky 2 and free-to-air entertainment service Pick TV.
The match averaged 1.7 million and a 10.1 percent share on Sky Sports 1 -- figures The Guardian reported as "thought" to include the Pick TV audience on Freeview -- and 401,000 and 2.4 percent on Sky 2.
BSkyB had managed a coup of its own by airing its sports channels free across platforms for one day only.
The soccer viewing stats were the first battle in a long war between BT and BSkyB, with most analysts noting the fight is for broadband and telephony subscribers rather than footie fan eyeballs.
BT has been on a sports rights shopping spree that has included key soccer and rugby rights, to give broadband and pay TV subscribers an incentive to stay with or join its service.
Earlier this year, BT acquired ESPN's U.K. and Ireland TV channels business, adding to its two new sports channels.
