Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, the Muy Bueno cookbook offers recipes for all generations. A Cinco de Mayo party is a fun way to celebrate the foods your family and friends will enjoy.
Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, celebrates Mexico's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 during the Franco-Mexican War. Although the day isn't a major celebration in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in the United States
Many families celebrate the day with parades, parties, festivities and Mexican foods. Nearly all Mexican restaurants in the U.S. offer Cinco de Mayo specials.
Evangelina and her daughters Yvette and Veronica started the Muy Bueno blog in 2010. They wanted to honor the memory of Evangelina's mother, Jesusita Mendias-Soza, and to preserve their family recipes.
The cookbook offers over 100 recipes: traditional old-world northern Mexican recipes from Jesusita's kitchen; comforting south of the border home-style dishes from Evangelina; and innovative Latin fusion recipes from Yvette and Veronica.
Muy Bueno shares these great recipes with us to help your Cinco de Mayo celebration sparkle from start to finish.
Chicken Mole
4½ cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 small onion, quartered
1 to 2 pounds chicken breasts
1 bay leaf
Mole Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ bolillo (substitute small French roll), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, and diced
2 California chile pods, stemmed, seeded, diced
1 large or 2 small tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed, and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
3¾ cups chicken broth (reserved from boiled chicken), divided
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1.5 ounces Mexican chocolate (recommend Nestle-Abuelita), coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons mole paste (recommend Doña Maria)
2 teaspoons salt
In a large pot, heat water, salt, onion, chicken, and bay leaf. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate to cool off, and then shred. Discard bay leaf. Reserve broth and onion.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, bolillo, chiles, tomatillos, tomato, and sesame seeds and sauté for 10 minutes, until soft. Pour half the broth and boiled onion into a blender and add half the sautéed ingredients.
Add peanut butter, chocolate pieces, cocoa powder, mole paste, and salt and blend until very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a large skillet. Pour the other half of the broth and sautéed ingredients into blender. Puree and add to the mixture in the large skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add 2 cups of the shredded chicken and stir until chicken is covered with the sauce. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring continuously to keep it from sticking to skillet. Plate some mole on a serving plate and toss a handful of sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
½ cup ketchup
1½ cups vegetable juice (recommend V8)
1 to 2 tablespoons horseradish (add more or less according to spicy tolerance)
Juice of 2 limes
½ teaspoon bottled hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 pound small shrimp, shelled, deveined, and cooked
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and finely diced
Saltine crackers or tortilla chips, for serving
Stir together the ketchup, vegetable juice, horseradish, lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic powder until well blended. Taste and add more horseradish or hot sauce if you would like it spicier.
Add the onion, cilantro, and shrimp and mix well. Gently stir in the avocado. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Serve in 4-ounce glasses with saltine crackers or tortilla chips.
Mexican Fruit Sangria
2 bottles of red wine (recommend Rioja)
2 cups brandy
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 orange, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 apple, cored and cut into thin wedges
1 pear, cored and cut into thin wedges
1 (750-ml) bottle club soda, chilled
Combine the wine, brandy, orange juice, and fruit in a large container or glass pitcher. Cover and chill completely, at least 1 to 2 hours or overnight. Add soda to mixture when ready to serve. Serve with ice and some of the fruit.
Ham and Avocado Torta
4 bolillos (oval Mexican sandwich rolls) or other sandwich rolls
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 to 8 thin slices deli ham
1 large avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
1 tomato, sliced
Romaine lettuce
4 jalapeños peppers (optional)
Slice the bolillos in half lengthwise, not cutting all the way through. Open the rolls and spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each. On each roll, place 1 to 2 slices of ham, 1 slice of cheese, some avocado and tomato slices, and lettuce. Serve with a fresh jalapeño.
Prickly Pear Frozen Margarita
4 prickly pears, peeled and sliced
¼ cup water
3½ cups crushed ice
3 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
3 ounces frozen limeade
6 ounces Silver Tequila
4½ ounces Triple Sec
3 tablespoons simple syrup (page 105)
Star fruit slices or lime wedges and coarse salt for garnish
In a blender, blend prickly pears with water to make a puree. Strain into a bowl and discard seeds. Place crushed ice in a blender. Add prickly pear puree, lime juice, limeade, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup; cover and pulse ingredients.
Garnish the edges of 6 margarita glasses with coarse salt. Pour pear mixture into the glasses; add a star fruit slice or a lime wedge to each glass for a garnish and serve immediately.

Problem description:
In the installation section, after I entered the virt-install command with proper arguments(shown below) to build the virtual hardware configuration, and connected to the vm console with vnc, I got a no-respond screen staying on the welcome of installment menu with the vcpu occupied 100%, so I cannot even take the next step on installation.
Whatever I adjusted the virt-install arguments, specified them or using default by omitting, it just didn't work and repeated the malfunction. But the KVM enviroment has no problem when I install any other vm using linux distribution like centos or opensuse.
So I want to know what's wrong with my freebsd vm configuration, or is it a hardware problem, e.g. referring to the specific CPU quality? And I want to get help on how to fix it.
Hardware environment:
Intel i5-3570K
128G SSD Plextor M5P
2T HDD Westdigital
Intel 1G ethernet card
Atheros 1G ethernet card
Software environment:
CentOS 6.3 Basic Server
libvirt up-to-date
KVM up-to-date
all commands run as root.
some of arguments I tried:
virt-install \
--name freebsd9
--virt-type kvm \ # still didn't work when omitted.
--ram 4096 \ # no effect even I adjust the ram size bigger or smaller.
--vcpus=1 \ # if I use two vcpus, one is 100% occupied, and the other is free.
--cpu host \
# still didn't work when omitted or modified to sandybridge or whatever kind
in xml file using command "virsh edit freebsd9".
--disk path=.../freebsd9.img,size=10,type=qcow2 \
--cdrom $install_cdrom_path \
# using installation iso file, freebsd 8 or 9, neither is ok.

Hello, everyone! Well, it's been 9 months since my last dA Blog so I felt that an update was in order. xD
Firstly, I want to thank you all for your support. Over the last few months I've gained a lot of new watchers and I'm very honoured that you enjoyed my work enough to add me to your DevWatch! It means a lot to me! I promise I've got more good stuff on the way! ^_^
With that said, some of you have been asking about what I've been up to for so many months of silence ... and I just realized that it's been half a year since I uploaded anything new! O_o Yikes! Well, in response to those enquiries, I wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive and kicking by sharing some of my WIPs. They can be found here: fav.me/d2u9ujq
Now here is where I need your input... I posed some questions on the WIP which I'll also ask here. I'd really appreciate if you could take a few moments to give me a reply, here on the deviation itself.
1) Of the WIP pieces, I'd really like to know which you like (or not like)?
2) How you guys and gals feel about the possibility of me doing more ecchi works? I'd love to do some more but I don't want to turn current watchers away.
3) Next Mario Kart Wii drawing: Peach or Rosalina?
4) Resident Evil 5 fan art: Sheva or Jill? Help me decide! -_-"
After I finish all of these pieces and develop a decent sized portfolio, I'm considering doing commissions for a reasonable price ($10-25?). If you might be interested, just drop me a note.
Once again, thank you to all of my watchers for your support!

Newmarket: Tristel upgrades first half sales and profits forecasts
15:45 22 January 2014
Tristel, the manufacturer of infection prevention and contamination control products, today upgraded expectations for its first half results.
The company, based at Snailwell, near Newmarket, said that, following a better-than-expected December, revenues would top £6.4million, against £4.4m for last year's first half, and pre-tax profits would be above £700,000, compared with a £600,000 loss at last year's half-way stage.
The company, which supplies the human healthcare, animal healthcare and contamination control markets through three branded product ranges, Tristel, Anistel and Crystel, added that had seed "encouraging" performances from all business segments.
Its latest forecasts are ahead of those given at its annual general meeting last month.
Chief executive Paul Swinney said: "We are delighted with the progress made in the first half of this financial year, in particular the growth seen in sales of Tristel's products used to disinfect non and single lumened instruments, hospital surfaces and within aseptic units.
"We continue to build upon these successes with confidence that they will continue into the second half and beyond."
Broker Finncap said it was upgrading its full-year sales forecast for Tristel from £11.4m to £11.9m and its earnings forecast from £1.9m to £2.2m.
Finncap said: "We are upgrading our forecasts for the year ending June 2014 and raising our target price to 52p (from 38p). We believe the risk to our 2015 forecasts, which are currently unchanged, is on the upside."
Tristel is due to report its results for the six months to December 31 on March 3.

Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette takes a look at the UMass defense focusing on the new 3-4 alignment.
The University of Massachusetts football team's defense will feature a new look with a lot of familiar faces.
Under new defensive coordinator Frank Forcucci, who replaced Maryland-bound Keith Dudzinski, UMass is moving from a 4-3 alignment to a 3-4.
But the Minutemen bring back 13 players that started at least one game last year and most of those players had multiple starts.

All about Retaining Walls
This type of retaining wall utilizes natural-looking, concrete blocks that have a lip on their backside.
By definition, a retaining wall is any structure that holds back soil or rock from a building, structure, or area. They have applications in the commercial, industrial, and residential arenas. You might find a retaining wall keeping soil back from sidewalks or roads, along riverbanks, or, more commonly, in your neighbor's garden or landscape. They can be constructed of wood and any number of masonry units, including stone, brick, concrete, and cement-filled cinder blocks.
Most often retaining walls are used to provide a level surface for gardening or landscaping where the land is naturally sloped. In a more utilitarian sense, they are also used to protect homes from the flow of water, usually when the home site is cut into a hill or mountainside. In a more aesthetic sense, retaining walls provide elevation and accent for landscape design. They can create beautiful stone pathways, support water features, or attractively direct water away from patios or play areas.
Aside from the different types of materials that can be used to build one, there are also four basic types of retaining walls. The difference lies not just in material but in how they are built.
- Gravity walls use their own weight to hold back the soil. Because of that, this type of wall is usually shorter (about three feet tall on average) in order not to overdo things. If the wall was any taller it would be more prone to collapse. Gravity walls are built with strength fully in mind. The base of the wall is at least half as thick as the wall is high. As the wall is built it grows thinner and slants backward, in a process called battering, into the hill or slope that it is trying to keep at bay. This is done to prolong the life and look of the wall. Gravity walls are by far the most common wall used in landscaping.
- Cantilever walls are the same width from top to bottom. However this type of retaining wall uses a footer and reinforced steel bars to strengthen the wall and prevent tipping. Foundation or basement walls are good examples of the cantilever design. The footer will be considerably thicker than the wall standing on it, with steel bars running through the footer and the retaining wall itself—essentially making them one strong unit. Cantilever retaining walls typically hold back a substantial amount of earth and rock and are painstakingly engineered. This is not the type of wall for the do-it-yourself'er.
- Counterfort walls are much the same as cantilever walls with an added piece of support. These walls have a triangular wall that connects the footer to the top of the retaining wall itself. These are common where some seriously heavy-duty support is needed. The triangular portion of the wall system is usually hidden beneath the soil or backfill. Counterfort walls, like their cantilevered cousins, are often made of poured concrete and reinforced with steel bars. Again, these are intricately designed by structural engineers. To build a wall of this type, and have it fail, would likely by very expensive.
- Buttressed retaining walls are the same as counterfort walls except that the supports are on the outside of the wall (i.e. not hidden). These supports offer even more strength because the triangular wall is pushing against the forces that would otherwise topple the retaining wall.
The Pre-Cast Revolution
A sort of revolution has hit residential retaining walls. Pre-cast, interlocking concrete stones have made building walls quick and easy with a wider scope of creative opportunity. Also called segmental walls, this type of retaining wall utilizes natural-looking, concrete blocks that have a lip on their backside. This system of interlocking results in a wall made of components that do not need mortar to bind them. Design possibilities using pre-cast stones include curves, terraces, serpentine walls, steps, and waterfront walls. Because this type of system is similar to gravity walls, and even with the added strength of an interlocking system, segmental walls should not be very tall. Nonetheless, they are ideal for homeowners wishing to do their own work and easily create the lawn and garden of their dreams.

The Buffalo Sabres announced Tuesday they have re-signed forward Luke Adam and goaltender Matt Hackett each to a one-year contract. Financial details were not revealed.
Adam, a center from St. John's, Newfoundland, appeared in four games for the Sabres last season but enjoyed something of a breakout campaign in 2011-12. In 52 games with Buffalo that season, Adam led all Sabres rookies with 10 goals and 20 points. In 2012-13, he played 67 games for Buffalo's American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester, with 15 goals and 37 points.
Hackett was chosen by the Minnesota Wild in the third round of the 2009 NHL Draft and has appeared in 13 NHL games, posting a 3-7-0 record with a 2.64 goals-against average. He appeared in one game for the Wild in 2012-13 before being traded to Buffalo as part of the NHL Trade Deadline deal that sent forward Jason Pominiville to the Wild. Hackett played in three games with Rochester in 2012-13, posting a 3-0-0 record with a 1.62 goals-against average.

Di Canio proud of players
by Stuart Vose
Head coach says club made friends during Hong Kong trip.
Paolo Di Canio has praised his players' "professional" attitude after the Black Cats were welcomed with open arms in Hong Kong.
Sunderland were popular with the local fans at the Barclays Asia Trophy last week and reached the final before suffering a narrow defeat at the hands of Manchester City.
The players were mobbed following an open training session and enjoyed vocal backing from the crowd during the matches, particularly the final.
And Di Canio feels Sunderland have won more than a few friends in the Far East after witnessing how his players behaved and the locals' reaction to them.
"It means our players, our group our club did a good job not just in playing football but how we behaved outside of the football environment," he explained.
"We have a big name to protect, the dignity of this club and I heard that any fans the local area supported us because our players were very kind; they gave their time.
"They were professional, not behaving like fake stars – that made me proud and the club has to be proud too.
"Rather than hear some bad story, there is an environment where we can make the fans proud because this is the way to behave.
"We are a top club and an example for others."

Wagner Food Policy Alliance (WFPA) and Student Network Exploring Art & Culture (SNEAC) are excited to present a short documentary screening of "Fair Tomatoes: A Story About Justice, Dignity and Sustainability" followed by a Q&A with the film's directors. This documentary is a 25-minute film focusing on the plight of farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida--"The Tomato Capital of America"--and their organized efforts to correct abuses and wage issues that persist today. In the last decade, local workers have organized the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a group hoping to raise awareness about corporate social responsibility, community organizing, and sustainable food, while also ending modern-day slavery and other labor abuses.
A preview of the screening can be viewed here
Following the salon will be our happy hour at Sláinte at 304 Bowery, NYC

College Hockey:Bobcats Extend Unbeaten Streak
Power Play Helps Quinnipiac Past Army
HAMDEN, Conn. — The Quinnipiac Bobcats, riding a six-game unbeaten streak, hosted Army in their third home game of the season at the Northford Ice Pavilion.
It was a physical game with the Bobcats coming out on top in a 4-2 victory.
The power play for Quinnipiac was a factor once again. The Bobcats were 35% on the man-advantage, scoring 13 goals in 37 chances coming into the contest. Power-play tallies gave Quinnipiac a 2-1 lead after two periods.
"It's kind of ironic that our power play has been extremely effective but are penalty kill is killing us," said coach Rand Pecknold. "It's great that we're scoring all these power-play goals but we're giving up a lot of shorthanded goals."
Both of Army's goals came while Quinnipiac was shorthanded. The first goal for the Black Knights was scored early in the first as Nic Serre, from the point, took a slapshot that hit a Bobcat in front and got past goaltender Jamie Holden.
The Bobcats answered halfway through the period with a power-play goal of their own as a give-and-go at the point between Wade Winkler and Brian Hebert allowed Winkler to fire a shot into the back of the net.
The second period had more up-and-down action as a combined 25 shots were taken. Army goaltender Brad Roberts made key saves early on to keep the score deadlocked at one. Army coach Rich Riley was pleased with his netminder's performance.
"He's a great goalie. I mean he's a freshman and he's played for a couple weeks here," said Riley. "He really looks poised and he plays with a lot of confidence and he's given us a chance to win every game we've been in.
"That's all you can really ask from him."
Quinnipiac, on the power play once again, finally got another one past Roberts as a rebound off the crossbar came out right to Matt Craig, who netted his seventh goal of the season to give Quinnipiac its first lead of the game at 16:48 of the second period.
In the final frame, the Bobcats got two goals early as captain Dan Ennis and Rob Hammel scored 31 seconds apart to take a 4-1 lead with only 2:36 gone by.
"We played with a little more energy in the third. We got a couple big goals there," said Pecknold. "The big one was Danny Ennis's. We had talked about getting traffic in front of Roberts, who was outstanding. John Kelly screened him and he never saw the shot."
Army tallied another power-play goal at 10:52 of the third but would get no closer.
"We knew we had to play a perfect game and had to play a little bit better disciplined," said Riley. "It's a winnable game in the third period which is what we wanted, but two five-on-five goals [by Quinnipiac], and that was it."
Quinnipiac improved to 4-0-1 in MAAC play and 6-1-1 overall. The Bobcats travel to play AIC this Friday. Army is now 2-2 in the MAAC and 3-3 overall. The Black Knights are at Sacred Heart Friday night.

Attack Performance has decided to enter their CRT Kawasaki-CNC machine in all three US MotoGP rounds this season (COTA, Laguna Seca and Indianapolis and their rider of choice has fallen on two-time AMA Superbike Championship runner-up Blake Young.
Young will replace Steve Rapp who debuted Attack Performance's CRT Kawasaki-CNC machine at Laguna Seca (he didn't qualify) and at Indianpolis where he finished 14th.
Speaking to CycleNews.com Young said: "I think they did a really good job last year and Steve Rapp rode the bike really well and they had a really good effort put forth. They gave me a call and asked if I'd be interested… at this point I'm pretty much interested in anything and I think this is a good opportunity. To be in that paddock and to learn from those guys… I'm fairly young and that's something I've always wanted to do. Maybe CRT is the future and I'd like to be on an American team at the American rounds."
The American rider has yet to find a full time ride for the 2013 season in AMA Superbike championship after being let go by Yoshimura Suzuki, and World Superbike fans may remember that Young replaced injured Max Neukirchner in Alstare Suzuki at the 2009 Donington Park round finishing 25th and 17th.

Why I Ordered the Brush
I ordered the Michel Mercier Ultimate Detangling Brush for my 6 year old daughter, who has an abundance of waist-long hair. The daily brushing before school had become very difficult and trying for us, and if we did not get this brush we might have had to cut it shorter in order to make our mornings easier. My daughter brought my attention to a commercial for the brush, which made it sounds like it magically makes your tangles go away.
Difficulties with the Ordering Process
The advertised cost is $14.95, with a free second brush. With shipping and handling charges of $11.90 and tax of $2.92, my order came to $29.17. In order to place the order you must go through several pages of optional offers. A few days after my order, I received a phone call to "confirm" my order. However, this was really a sales promotion in which I would be charged $1 to be enrolled in a trial savings program, in which case I would receive a free gift card for Walmart. I kept saying I did not want the program and the sales person kept trying to confirm that it was okay to charge the $1 to my credit card. It took about 10 minutes to get the sales person to accept the fact that I just wanted the brush and did not want to be enrolled in the program. (The offer sounds tempting, but you have to remember to call and cancel your membership before the trial is up or you will receive additional monthly charges on your credit card.) The brushes came about a week later.
The Performance of the Brush
The brush is certainly unusual looking. It has a very wide paddle head and short, thick handle. Its bristles are very short, made of hard plastic that come to a hard point. For myself, I did not find it comfortable, and although it got through my tangles, when I used it on dry hair, it made my long curly hair very frizzy; when used on wet hair, it did not get through my hair any easier than my $4 vent brush. My teenage daughters, who have long straight hair, also did not like the handling of this brush. They explained that it does not feel comforting on the scalp and the bristles are too short to get through the full thickness of your hair. However, it worked for the purposes of my youngest daughter's hair, and it is now the only brush we use for her.
The first day we used it, she had very difficult tangles. Normally to get them out would require shampoo, conditioner, lots of detangling spray, and an hour's worth of brushing. The brush did not get through them like magic, and it did rip out a piece of the knotted hair. However it got through the knots within 5 to 10 minutes. It also worked on wet hair. I notice that with every day of brushing with this brush, it got a little easier to get through her hair. It also does not cause any pain when brushing. She can brush her own hair with it or have me brush it, and we have no more conflict over brushing. Therefore I have to conclude for our purposes the brush has been worth it.

Stocks to Watch: J.M. Smucker Co., Sears and more
Stocks to watch this morning include J.M. Smucker Co., Sears and more.
Sina Corp.'s second-quarter earnings fell 61% as higher product development and advertising costs weighed down the bottom line. Shares still jumped 2.3% to $95.07 pre-market as the company's adjusted profit came in better than expected.
J.M. Smucker Co.'s fiscal first-quarter earnings improved 8.4% yet profit margins came under pressure due to continued high costs for raw materials.
Cree Inc. said it paid about $583 million in a cash-and-stock transaction to buy Ruud Lighting, the largest acquisition in the electronic-components maker's history. Shares were down 7.2% to $32.25 in pre-market trading.
Limited Brands's fiscal second-quarter earnings increased 29% on continued improvement in both sales and margin, as the specialty retailer raised its full-year profit guidance.
PetSmart's fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 26% on continued improvement in sales and margins, as the pet-products retailer raised its full-year earnings outlook but made a third-quarter prediction on the weaker side.
Sears Holdings's fiscal second-quarter loss widened more than expected as added markdowns to clear seasonal inventory hurt sales and margins.
Moody's Investors Services removed the prospect of a deeper downgrade into junk for SLM Corp., thanks to the student lender's improving operating performance.

Seeing Stars: a Memoir
the chronicle of one woman's middle passage of marriage to a career soldier
de Margaret Robertson Honour
Seeing Stars is one woman's story of the starlight ever present in the life she shared with her husband.
The term "seeing stars" is used in the military to describe ambitious soldiers who aspire to greatness as evidenced on the uniforms of generals that lead. While new Lt. Charles Honour didn't ever expect to make it to general rank, he indeed was seeing stars as he daydreamed of what he might achieve in service to his country.
Both Chuck and Peg were certainly "star struck" with love when they experienced their whirlwind romance and marriage following WWII.
Several duty stations later, the "star light" in both their eyes evidenced itself in the persons of their three children.
A cartoon-like "seeing stars" might best describe the last few years of their relationship when Peg experienced the one-two punch of divorce and death.
And finally, Peg describes the transcendent meaning of the ability to see and "reach for the stars" in the latter half of her life.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has decided to go it alone on the state budget, using his line-item veto and unallotment to unilaterally chart Minnesota's future. He has stuck to a fundamentalist "no new taxes" line, throwing the legislature's budget out of balance by striking down revenue increases, and is going to work on his own path of cutting services and funding. This is a deeply undemocratic act (which Pawlenty appears to be making quite gleefully), and counter to a long Minnesota tradition of generosity and compassion.
The University of Minnesota, K-12 school districts, Minnesota's cities and towns, and the health care system will all be harmed by the budget cuts. Jobs will likely be lost, and Minnesota's infrastructure further eroded, just so Pawlenty can hold to a hard line on taxes that made little sense when times were good but makes far less sense when times are bad. Far fewer people will benefit from Pawlenty's stance on taxes than will be hurt.
As angry as I am at the governor, though, I'm equally disappointed with the DFL legislature. This was their opportunity to step up to the challenges of a new era in governance, a chance to make the case that reviving the "Minnesota Miracle" means asking everyone to pitch in, and they failed, pushing their tax bill through at the last moment, after deadline, when they should have been building the case for months. In this environment, there's a good chance that people would have listened.
The pendulum is swinging, and not only the governor but the legislature have managed to be struck by it. If we learn anything from the economic meltdown of the last year, it should be that a system that prospers the few against the many is not a recipe for wealth, and that a society that shares prosperity more equitably is better prepared for the inevitable failures. Both the governor and the legislature are guilty of wishful thinking, looking to 2010 to solve all of their problems. Better that they participate in, as Lloyd Alexander called it, hopeful dreaming: imagining ways in which we can rise to our challenges, slough off the shackles of the past, and create a state, if not a world, where we value more than the short-term gain.
Hopeful dreaming is an active process. The hopeful dreamer is willing to take his tumbles with the world, not insisting on the immediate gratification typical of infantile demands, but with the patience that is one sign of growing up. The hopeful dreamer says, "If not now, maybe someday . . ."

College Hockey:BU's Gilroy Wins 57th Walter Brown Award
Boston University senior defenseman Matt Gilroy has been named the winner of the 57th annual Walter Brown Award, presented to the best American-born Division I player in New England, Gridiron Club of Greater Boston president Steve Grogan announced Friday.
Gilroy, a native of North Bellmore, N.Y., is the Terriers' co-captain and one of a talented group of seniors who powered the Terriers to a superb 31-6-4 campaign that included championships of the Beanpot, the Hockey East regular season, and the Hockey East playoffs.
The Terriers are ranked first in the nation and will face Ohio State in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday in Manchester, N.H.
A graduate of St. Mary's High School in Manhasset, N.Y., Gilroy has eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points. He was a Hockey East first-team all-conference selection for the third consecutive year and has been an All-America pick the past two seasons. He is also one of 10 finalists for the 2009 Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
"I simply can't say enough about what Matt has meant to this team in his role as captain this year," remarked coach Jack Parker, who also pointed out that Gilroy, a walk-on forward when he enrolled at BU, turned down an opportunity to turn professional after last season.
Gilroy elected to stay in school and play on the team that included his younger brother Kevin. Last year's disappointing 19-17-4 finish kept the team out of the NCAA tournament for the first time in four years, but this season the Terriers started fast, lost consecutive games only once during the season, and have compiled a 20-2-3 record since December.
Three forwards also emerged from the field of 16 semifinalists to receive strong support in the final voting for this year's Walter Brown Award.
University of Massachusetts sophomore James Marcou was the leading scorer in Hockey East games this season with 11 goals and 24 assists for 35 points; Yale junior Sean Backman scored 20 goals and added 13 assists for the Bulldogs, who captured their first ECAC championship in 48 years; and Northeastern senior Ryan Ginand was a prominent contributor to the resurgent Huskies, scoring 20 goals and adding 12 assists.
"In such a competitive league as Hockey East, talent alone is never enough. Nor is good coaching. You also need on-ice leadership and those other intangibles that only experienced, mature players can bring to the game night after night. Matt Gilroy is one of the best examples of senior leadership that we've ever seen," said Gridiron Club Hockey Awards Committee Chairman Tim Costello.
The Gridiron Club will present the 57th Walter Brown Award to Gilroy at the New England Hockey Writers' annual dinner on April 13.

When I try to access this from 3.3.3r3 solaris client ( installed on 2.6 ) or from 3.3.3r9 win98 client I face the following problem: If I open an IE browser window and access a site and do scrolling ( Not very fast ) after sometime the browser window does not display properly. Most of the stuff from previous scroll page is left over. However if I move the cursor back and forth on the browser window the cursor acts like a wipe and "cleans" out old stuff exposing the correct content that should be displayed. Is this a know problem. Can I do something to fix it? Thanks, Suresh. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sir Samuel Lewis served his people well and honorably, and when Freetown became a municipality in 1865, he was the obvious choice for Mayor. In 1896, he was made a knight the first West African to achieve such an honor. Like most pioneers, Sir Samuel's ideas were far in advance of his times. At a time when most settlers saw people of the hinterland as heathen strangers, he called for the annexation of the interior so that peace could be maintained in those areas and the Krios of the Colony could benefit through commerce and the development of the natural resources of the interior. He blamed much of the misunderstanding between the people of the Colony and those of the then interior on the lack of communication and contact between the two.
He therefore advocated for improved communications between the Colony and the hinterland so that there could be better understanding of the interior and greater opportunity to explore the many possibilities it offered. In perceiving the possibility of harmonious, purposeful and beneficial relations between people of different cultures and regions, Sir Samuel Lewis left his mark as one of the first men to envision a united Sierra Leone.

Live From Costa Favolosa: Up, Up and Away
July 3, 2011 | By John Deiner | 1 Comment
A prancing troupe of ballet dancers, giant projections of a ship ramming through an ancient facade, an Italian starlet with a big bottle of bubbly, fireworks perfectly choreographed to Italian opera — why, the naming of Costa Favolosa on Saturday night had everything but a re-creation of a scene out of "Up." Oh, wait … it did.
There was so much going at the ship's black-tie naming ceremony in Trieste, Italy, that I don't know where to start, except maybe the time it began: 11 p.m. Hey, folks like to do things late here.
Called a "Tribute to Beauty," the festivities lasted about an hour and featured chatty blah-blah-blah by executives interspersed with moments of true beauty (hence, the name). In a press release, creative director Alfredo Accatino promised a "journey of excitement, music and images" — and the dude wasn't kidding.
From the fete's opening moments, held in the city's lovely Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia, an invited audience of more than 1,500 and thousands of locals watched transfixed at an event that was more Olympic Opening Ceremonies than a simple ship-naming. It began with Turin composer-pianist Ludovico Einaudi — a Larry David doppelganger — playing an original tune, then featured in turns an actor intoning Charles Baudelaire's "Hymn to Beauty from a blood-red-illuminated balcony, an absolutely jaw-dropping 3D projection of Favolosa barreling through a building wall and a tribute to the 150th anniversary of Italian unification (made somewhat psychedelic by the glow-stick-handled flags everyone was waving).
But it was the "aerial artist" suspended about 30 feet overhead by dozens of giant helium balloons who stole the show (right out of "Up," right?). Workers crept through the audience grasping the contraption by tethers, allowing the woman to writhe and contort in sync to another Einaudi tune. Can't lie: It was just about the coolest thing I've ever seen.
By the time Italian actress Margareth Made (don't worry — you don't have to know who she is) christened the ship, which was sitting in the harbor a couple hundred yards away, it almost seemed anticlimactic. The fact that the wind had picked up and the temperature had plunked into the low 60s didn't help. But leave it to Costa to end things with a bang, and a spectacular one at that: a post-midnight fireworks show that was ostensibly to celebrate Favolosa, but I couldn't help thinking it was a nice way to start the Fourth of July weekend as well.

Our circumstances are very similar, I gave up playing for many years also. I am so thankful that I went back to playing, I have the same enthusiasm now that I had when I first started. The only difference is I'm playing jazz now instead of Beatle songs.
I really appreciate your playing Jean-Paul. Thank You
Hello Jean, just wanted to say thanks for the kind words on my video. I'm brand new to the site, and I enjoyed your video as well. Keep in touch, and have a wonderful weekend!
