Homemade Chicken Alfredo Pizzas RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
- 1 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
- 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle cornmeal over two 12-in. pizza pans coated with cooking spray. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to prepared pans. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork; brush with oil. Bake at 425° for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
- In a small saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the parsley, pepper and remaining salt. Combine flour and milk until smooth. Stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Spread over crusts; top with chicken, tomatoes, spinach, cheeses and Italian seasoning. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until crusts are lightly browned and cheeses are melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (6 slices each).

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.
Reviews for Homemade Chicken Alfredo Pizzas
"Used this recipe for my BBQ pizzas. Made only the crust portion. I added 1 tsp oil to the yeast/water mixture and I drizzled 1 tbsp of oil while pulsing with flour in my processor. I must say the crust did turn out delicious. I will use this recipe again, since it was enough to cover 2 bbq pizza pans that normally I use."
"I made this pizza & was told it was the best pizza I had ever made. It was amazingly good! I was able to use fresh spinach out of my garden too!"
"The crust was a little too crispy for my liking and I used poached chicken which was a little bland. Next time I would want season the chicken somehow, but overall it was very good."
"The crust was bland as cardboard and didn't need to be cooked twice. The sauce was bland. It was really hard to eat."
"This recipe was very disappointing. The crust was bland and cardboard-like. The sauce did not taste like any alfredo sauce I have ever had. Overall it was hard to eat the chicken and crust that had been baked twice."

Himalayan pink salt is harvested by hand from high in the Himalayan mountains. It is different from table salt in that it is minimally processed so it retains most of its natural nutrients. It is a much healthier alternative to table salt and can be used for cooking and healing remedies. It is unrefined, unprocessed and contains eighty four minerals and trace minerals including iodine. The following are a few of the amazing healthy benefits of adding himalayan pink salt to your daily diet.
Himalayan pink salt is very effective in helping to heal many skin infections. It has many nutrients and anti-bacterial properties that are great for many different skin disorders. It is inexpensive, and if applied directly to the skin can provide the following benefits:
• Soothes and heals dry irritated skin
• Helps in treating insect bites, blisters, acne and eczema
• Speeds up healing of wounds and skin infections
• Helps to draw out toxins from the skin
• Helps prevent scarring
• Helps in regulating oil gland activity
• Increases the consumption of oxygen to the skin
This amazing salt also helps and aids in digestion. It helps the food we eat pass easily through our digestive tract by stimulating the production of digestive juices. Digestion is not possible without salt. Himalayan pink salt helps our bodies produce hydrochloric acid as well as digestive enzymes that are responsible for breaking down the food we eat into important nutrients that our bodies need.
A simple mixture of himalayan pink salt and water produces a liquid that can help prevent and help heal a host of ailments. This mixture is referred to as "sole" and is pronounced so-lay. To make sole, place a one–inch square of himalayan salt inside a glass jar, pour three inches of good quality spring water over the salt, and let it sit overnight. If all of the salt dissolves, add a little more. When the water is 100% saturated and cannot dissolve any more salt, it is ready to use. Always make sure there are undissolved crystals in the bottom of the jar as this is your proof that the water is totally saturated with salt and ready for you to use.
Use this sole solution as you would toothpaste and mouthwash, and it will help fight tartar and bad breath. The anti-bacterial properties of himalayan pink salt effectively clean teeth while also strengthening the gums. This sole solution can also be used to help heal ear infections. Use it like you would ear drops , and it will help kill the bacteria as well as any damaged and infected tissues in the ear.
Himalayan pink salt is unrefined and totally natural. It does not harm the body or raise blood pressure as does regular table sat. It can be used for everything from cleaning teeth to clearing up acne and other skin disorders. It is gentle enough to use as eye drops and strong enough to kill stubborn bacteria. Approximately one teaspoon of the sole solution can be taken every day as a preventative measure and is an ideal addition to everyone's daily diet.

Reporting & ReimbursementSponsoring Departments receive with their award letter, or even as part of the application guidelines, a set of requirements directions around the expenditure of funds. In order to ensure that the grant recipient, the Sponsoring Department in this case, is compliant with the requirements, the grant recipient is required to submit reports on a regular basis outlining the progress made toward the stated goal of the grant and detailing the associated expenditures.
Reporting & Reimbursement requirements vary among grantors. For private funds, these may vary greatly and it is important to carefully review any requirements prior to accepting the funds as it may be necessary to create or modify your practices to ensure that you are able to comply.
Federal and State grant requirements are similar and will be treated here together in general terms. Note however, that even Federal and State grants may have special requirements and every grant should be reviewed to determine if these exist and ensure that they can be met.
The Sponsoring Department is responsible for complying with all grant reporting and reimbursement requirements. However, without execution, all reports must first be reviewed and approved by the City Auditor.
Overall, the Reporting & Reimbursement consists of up to five high level steps:
- Report Preparation
- Program Narrative
- Financial Detail
- Supporting Documentation
- Draw Down/Financial Reimbursement Request
- Auditing Review
- Submission & Document Maintenance
|Report Preparation (return to top)
Reports consist of two parts:
- The Program Narrative outlines the progress of the grant recipient toward the stated goals. In this section, the recipient is to address the progress made, questions or issues in regard to the progress made, any delays and how they are being addressed, and areas of concern and activities for the next quarter.
- The Financial Detail shows the expenditures at a high level of detail. Different data is given for different types of expenditures and will vary among types of grants. Some grants may allow you to submit reports generated out of City or local systems, others may require that data be supplied in a specific format.
|Supporting Documentation (return to top)
General things to consider:
- All originals and copies must be legible. Illegible receipts, invoices or copies thereof may result in rejection of a claim for reimbursement. Originals should never be sent to the grantor, but retained by the Sponsoring Department.
- If you have sub-recipients of a grant, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements laid out in the Sub-Recipient Guidelines for Defining and Retaining Supporting Documentation area of the Sub-Recipient Roles & Responsibilities area of these web pages. Further, you should review the grant regulations carefully to determine if you must retain the original documents, or if it is acceptable for the sub-recipient to retain them, and appropriately guide any sub-recipients in this matter.
Draw Down/Financial Reimbursement Request Forms
(return to top)
- The process may vary greatly and should be reviewed at time of award with the Grantor and Auditing/Grants Monitoring.
- The City of Boston Draw Down Request Form with Instructions
- Either OMB Form 269 or 272, of which the Grantor will inform you
- City of Boston Cash Receipt Form
- The State Payment Voucher
- City of Boston Cash Receipt Form
|Auditing Review (return to top)
If the packet is returned from the Auditing Department with comments, the Department must update the packet with the notations provided by the Auditing/Grants Monitoring, and resubmit the entire packet again to Auditing/Grants Monitoring. Second reviews, and any subsequent reviews until the packet is approved, will be made within 2 business days.
|Submission & Document Maintenance: (return to top)
The OMB 269 or 272, or the State Payment Voucher, should be sent to the Grantor as appropriate, along with backup documentation if required.
The original City of Boston Draw Down form, or a copy of the State Payment Voucher, should be attached to the Cash Receipt and submitted to Treasury/Collecting. Treasury/Collecting will process the Draw Down and funds will be transferred to the appropriate account(s) when funds are received from Grantor, in approximately 15 - 30 days.

Ephesians 6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."
Most Atlanta students are back in school now. The new school year brings about some changes. In some cases newly established or enforcement of previously established expectations take place.
Many parents are fighting to enforce the expectations that are set within households. It is typical for children, particularly teens, to resist doing what they know they should. Yet, the parent is overall responsible for upholding the expectations, including potential consequences.
Parents have to set expectations for many reasons. Children, whether they think they are grown or not, they are still under parental supervision, and therefore need to do what is expected of them.
Many parents mistakenly balk when their children begin to complain about having expectations at all.
Parental responsibility does not stop at the whimpers of a rebellious child. There is a biblical responsibility for parents to teach children what is right. Deuteronomy 11:18-19 says, "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Children should always hear the enforcements of expectations. In some cases, expectations do change with the age of a child, but there should never be an impression that no boundaries exist.
Standing firm on expectations is critical because when children become adults they will have had plenty of practice. Stay in the fight parents. We never know when the seeds we have planted in our children will sprout and become the fruit that may one day save their lives.

It was to be the first space probe ESA ever sent to the Moon and was to also be the first of ESA's missions to test advanced technology needed for future scientific planetary missions. It would use ion propulsion to maneuver from a geosynchronous transfer orbit to an elliptical lunar orbit over a sixteen month period.
SMART-1 was to test solar electric propulsion and other deep-space technologies, while performing scientific observations of the Moon. Among other investigations, it was to investigate the origin of the Moon and search for ice in the craters at the Moon's south pole.

I love the passion in Derek's eyes which tells the story of romance between the two. On the other hand, Erich's face and stare is hauntingly beautiful at the same time mysterious. I wonder how she will be the first Aswang. What i dont like in this poster is the rest of the elements under the logo. It is so distracting and the font is awful. I just want to crop them out. Anyways, hooray for this wonderful film. I can't wait to watch it..
CORAZON: Ang Unang Aswang
WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY Richard Somes / SCREENPLAY Jerry Gracio / PRODUCER StarCinema, Skylight Films / STARRING Erich Gonzales, Derek Ramsay, Mark Gil, Epy Quizon, Mon Confiado, Tetchie Agbayani

Though the feud between TCW Heavyweight Champion Ryan Hunter and the somewhat self-absorbed Jeff Lewis Neal has been brewing for some time their upcoming match on April 5, 2014 at the Riceville Community Center in Asheville, NC now adds another component, a very angry former WWE/ECW star Tracy Smothers.
On March 1, 2014 Hunter and Lewis-Neal were scheduled to go one-on-one for the TCW Heavyweight Championship when J.R. Reynolds took valet and reported love interest of Hunter, Ginger Wilde "hostage" prompting not only a fan to come forward to try and intervene but also brought out former wrestler and TV star Ric Savage to back Hunter and rescue Wilde. The match was quickly turned into a tag team match by match maker Scotty Black and the hard fought battle was eventually won by Hunter and Savage.
As Hunter and Lewis-Neal have traded barbs across social media, at other wrestling events and most recently on "WrestleStuff Radio" another player has been drawn into this melee, none other than Tracy Smothers. Hunter reached out to Smothers for his help in dealing with Lewis-Neal and Reynolds and Smothers was eager to help but things went sour quickly.
As Lewis-Neal and Reynolds baited Smothers by calling him "old," "grandpa," and "pawpaw" Smothers began, well, smoldering with anger.
"I'm going to teach these young punks a lesson they damn well will never forget. I'm not playing, this is no game, you do not call me old, you do not call me grandpa and think it's funny. I'm going to put my boot up Jeff Lewis Neal's ass and I'll slap the tattoos off that other little punk," Smothers said.
Smothers called in to "WrestleStuff Radio" on Sunday night during which Hunter and Lewis-Neal were bickering back and forth about their history, the upcoming match and Lewis-Neal bragging about his heritage (claiming to be cut from the same cloth as Strangler Lewis) and though Lewis-Neal would try to back peddle some after hearing the anger in Smother's voice, Smothers would not listen.
"I promised to help Ryan Hunter whip these two jackasses but after what they have been saying, Ryan may just be scraping up what is left after I am through with them. This may never get into the ring, I am going to kick their ass all over the arena," Smothers yelled before hanging up.
Hunter and Reynolds have both been cleared to return to the ring after a brutal match on March 15, 2014 in Fairview, NC at the TCW debut show there that also featured The Rock&Roll Express and The Barbarian. At the conclusion of their match Reynolds speared Hunter through the guardrail injuring both in the process. Hunter suffered a mild concussion from which he has recovered while Reynolds was taken to the emergency room and was found to have injured several ribs as well as suffering head trauma. According to Lewis-Neal, who has been in contact with Reynolds, he will be 100% ready for their upcoming match with Hunter and Smothers.
The show will also mark the return of Evil Inc. as well as "Flying" Ryan Chaos and will feature Abel Adams, SuperLaw, Father Darkness (who has been having words of late with TCW staff photographer Dr. Jerry Wiseman) and more.
Saturday, April 5, 2014 in Asheville, NC at the Riceville Community Center, professional wrestling may never be the same.
"I damn sure know Jeff Lewis Neal and J.R. Reynolds won't be," Smothers said.

Dabbling around with jQuery for the last chapter in my upcoming book about JavaScript, I realised it is dead easy to do something that really annoyed the hell out of me for a long time:
When you display code examples in online tutorials and you don't want to use server side includes to show the code (as you want to offer the explanation page as documentation as well) you need to maintain the code in two locations: The code itself and the code examples in the documentation. Now, jQuery has these really cool methods to do easy AJAX calls, why not use them to pull in the code when the user clicks the link to the code? Click the following links for examples, and right-click them to save the code examples. The first code example is the jQuery code that makes it happen.
Turning a link into a "code preview" link is easy: simply add a class called "codeExample".

Lists are popular ways of visualizing our future and focusing on what are important achievements for us. In his book, Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (itself a list!), Deepak Chopra recommends we make a list of our desires (page 79) https://www.chopra.com/community/online-library/the-seven-spiritual-laws... Here is a list of some "top ten" action quotes in my collection that I've used as a foundation on which to build a philosophy of living, and focus on cultivating a strong character to achieve my goals. I keep these character-building quotes in different places. Some are in a little Punjabi recipe box (from Kashmir it says on the bottom) found in a thrift store. Some are pinned up on our kitchen cupboard. Others are held up by a magnet on the refrigerator door. I stayed with ten topics here and occasionally snuck in another quote. Of course there are more than ten aspects to building a righteous character.
Teachers like Karen Armstrong recommend we learn from the point of view of other religions besides our own. It doesn't mean we are asked give up our own faith or belief, but that we avoid a circumscribed perspective, a possible fundamentalist trap, by learning to recognize the truths found in other religious teachings. Against the current odds, I prefer to hold on to the viewpoint that every nation, tribe, race, age group, ethnicity, man or woman speaking every language, longs for the same things: love, peace and goodwill towards humanity. In spite of appearances to the contrary, we are all essentially moving toward the same spiritual goal, the world establishment of a human community where peace reigns and wars have been brought to an end. Here is a universal action plan that can be implemented no matter what religion you give your loyalty to.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Allow Joy:
Do what gives you joy and do it in public!
"No matter what causes it, whenever a little bubble of joy appears in your invisible sea of consciousness, take hold of it and keep expanding it. Meditate on it and it will grow larger … keep puffing at the bubble of joy until it breaks its confining walls and becomes the sea of joy." (Metaphysical Meditations by Paramahansa Yogananda)
Thomas Edison by Abraham Archibald Anderson
Embrace Possibility:
"Remain open to an infinite number of unexpected possibilities which transcend your own imagination and capacity to plan." (Thomas Merton)
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." ~ Thomas A. Edison
Christ and the Rich Young Ruler by Hoffman
Learn Trust (and Faith):
"Jesus turned to James, asking, "James, do you trust me?" And of course James replied, "Yes, Master, I trust you with all my heart." Then said Jesus: "James, if you trust me more, you will be less impatient with your brethren. If you will trust me, it will help you to be kind to the brotherhood of believers. Learn to weigh the consequences of your sayings and your doings. Remember that the reaping is in accordance with the sowing. Pray for tranquillity of spirit and cultivate patience. These graces, with living faith, shall sustain you when the hour comes to drink the cup of sacrifice." (Jesus a New Revelation, Michael Foundation)
"Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses; and everything will fall into place." —Tao Te Ching, Verse 23
Arjuna with Krishna
Accept Divine Mercy:
"The shining lamp of knowledge dispels the darkness of ignorance. In your hearts I will place this mercy." (Bhagavad Gita, 10:11)
The Reverend at the Unity Church in my area introduced this theme from the Hindu literature into his talk one Sunday.
Show Love:
"In this world hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and eternal." (Dhammapada, Ch. 1)
I once saw my daughter use this quotation in a speech she gave in high school. That was inspirational!
A W Tozer quote
Enhance Your Power:
"With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures." How about some of that good old Protestant confidence from A. W. Tozer: http://www.awtozerclassics.com/page/page/4891818.htm
Jesus in nature
Be Courageous:
Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! (Luke 12:22-24)
Author Karen Armstrong
Express Compassion:
"We have…seen that many of these pivotal teachers and prophets were living in societies that had problems similar to our own: they were dealing with violence that seemed to be getting out of hand and an economy that marginalized the poor. It is now time to apply what we have learned from them to our own circumstances and to the society in which we live." (Karen Armstrong, founder of http://charterforcompassion.org/)
Thomas Merton
Develop Focus and Concentration:
"A small amount of focused concentration can expand into the subconscious mind to implant joyfulness, love and forgiveness. Expansion is the only way out of depression. Unless you remain consciously aware of yourself, you will mechanically create your childhood circumstances over and over again in your workplace and in your home."
(Guidance from Within, by Ernest F. Pecci, http://drpecci.com/)
Fools Crow in ceremonial regalia
Engage in Service:
"We begin by letting the Powers know that we are willing to be their servants to others."
--Fools Crow, Lakota. As a Lakota Sioux person, he was taught to understand there was no limit to what the higher powers could do through him. "What we hollow bones really become is the pipeline that connects Wakan Tanka [Great Spirit] and our community together."

Some fully double nasturtiums do not set seed and so cannot be raised in the usual way. 'Hermine Grashoff' is typical, an old variety with lovely rich scarlet flowers that are quite different from the conventional nasturtium, very double and sterile. The only way to propagate this trailing plant is to take cuttings, which is made much easier if the stems are pinched out regularly to encourage bushy, free-branching growth. Plants from summer cuttings will survive the winter, often flowering under glass, and donate cuttings for summer-flowering plants. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Growth is dead, part 2: how an oversupply of lawyers is hurting the profession
Welcome to the second installment of 'Growth is Dead': Our topic for today is excess capacity. Let's start with overall supply of new lawyers, which is the font of everything else.
Welcome to the second installment of 'Growth is Dead': Our topic for today is excess capacity.
Let's start with overall supply of new lawyers, which is the font of everything else.
Thanks to the redoubtable Professor Paul Campos (University of Colorado Law), we have a comprehensive summary of a combination of the best available numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the American Bar Association, we learn that:
• Between 2010 and 2020, the US economy will produce 218,800 job openings for lawyers and judicial clerks, or a little under 22,000 per year
• These statistics include filling the slots of retirees and other job force departures as well as new job openings
• They're based on historically 'normal' 10-year business cycles, so if you believe we're in a long-term and slow employment recovery, they could be overestimates
• US law schools granted 44,004 in 2010, which rose slightly to 44,258 in 2011 and 44,495 in 2012
• As they say, 'do the math': 132,757 new JDs in three years would fill 61% of all available lawyer jobs for the next decade
• And there's no obvious end in sight; law schools are cash cows for their universities (or themselves, if unaffiliated) and no individual school has an incentive to cut enrollment barring some highly improbable pact surmounting the 'collective action' psychological and economic barrier.
Graphically, it looks like this - every year for the next 10 years:
GRAPH: Legal Sector Employment: 2010-2020
The next step is to examine the supply/demand landscape more specifically for Big Law.
Here, the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) always has the most comprehensive and thorough statistics. From their 'Perspectives on Fall 2011 Law Student Recruiting' and from a presentation NALP executive director Jim Leipold delivered in New York earlier this year:
• "Law firms continue to bring in small summer classes, barely increasing class size from recession-era lows."
• Structural changes include greater competition from legal process outsourcers and offshore firms
• Lawyer jobs increasingly are being lost to technology
• Compared to pre-recession numbers, there are significantly fewer private practice jobs - down by 10% just from 2010 to 2011
• With a 20% drop in average salaries
• Leading to higher law graduate un- and under-employment
• Fewer law graduates overall are working as lawyers
• New grads are competing with displaced lawyers
• Salaries for new grads actually employed as lawyers - be the measure median, mean, or "adjusted mean" (a NALP statistic) are down about 12% in one year.
Now, all this has addressed the macro environment for lawyers in general and Big Law in particular.
But in microeconomics, 'excess capacity' has a slightly different - and more pointed - meaning as applied to specific firms within a pertinent market segment, and it's to that I now wish to turn.
Notice I said "pertinent market segment". I would argue that the market for Big Law services (or Sophisticated Law services, perhaps more accurately) is in all ways that matter a market segment distinct from US national economic demand for 'lawyers' in general or legal services in general. From that perspective it actually doesn't matter much to Big Law whether there's a pervasive oversupply of lawyers in the 50 states; it matters whether Big Law itself has excess capacity.
And does it ever.
Managing partners tell me this, other consultants are telling this to the media, and it seems universally recognised. We have:
• too many associates given what clients are willing to pay for
• too many of counsel and non-equity partners, who are clogging the advancement pipeline for those below them, and
• in many firms, too many equity partners, if judged on rigorous performance criteria (or if simply judged on the number of equity partners Firm X can support at the PEP to which it has become accustomed).
This is not those people's fault.
It's the result of the historic path our industry has taken over the past 30 or so years, growing like clockwork at high single-digit rates, and never before September 2008 having experienced a sustained, systemic, enduring, macroeconomic downward shift in demand for our services.
Don't take my word for it. Here are the latest numbers from the Citi/Hildebrandt 2012 Client Advisory on demand "growth" (or lack thereof, obviously) by key practice areas:
GRAPH: Demand growth by practice - all firms
Here's what stands out to me:
• Pretty much across the board, demand is continuing to fall
• December 2011 vs December 2010 is the worst time series (dark grey right-hand bars in each triplet)
•Q4 2011 vs Q4 2010 is the second-worst time series (medium grey middle bars), and
• 2011 v 2010 is the 'healthiest' series (left hand dark orange bars)
• The two areas growing fastest - intellectual property litigation and labour & employment - together make up only 13% of law firm revenue, while the six shrinking segments account for 32% of revenue (note that the practice areas displayed account only for about 75% of total revenue, presumably because displaying them all would require more detail than would be useful).
In terms of excess capacity, falling demand is a classic, and usually the number one, driving component. After all, firms don't usually overhire recklessly or build new factories before they have customers, so purposefully creating excess supply is extremely rare and I would hazard never intended.
Now let's turn to "productivity" (for another day is the debate over whether the word "productivity" is an inapt, if not distorting and insulting, name for gross billable hours, but everyone seems to know what it means and we will, for today, stick with it):
GRAPH: Average annual productivity by timekeeper (2001-2010)
We have to look at this in conjunction with the evolving composition of timekeepers to gather the full story. Here's that data:
GRAPH: Leverage composition of top and middle-tier firms
Putting these two charts together, here's what we've been doing to ourselves: We have systematically increased our reliance on the most expensive, least productive cohort of our lawyers. This is not the behaviour of rational firms doing all they can to increase their value to clients.
(Disclaimer to non-equity partners reading this: The last thing I'm saying is that you don't contribute value, and the last thing I'm saying is that you don't work hard. All I'm saying is that among your counterparts in the non-equity partner law firm productivity food chain, you work fewer hours and cost the firm, and presumably clients, more.)
But we're talking about excess capacity.
Firms in an industry with excess capacity face an almost irresistible compulsion to cut prices, even to unprofitable levels. The goal is simply to keep people busy, in service of keeping the firm alive and satisfying clients, and in the hope that once market conditions recover, everything can get back to normal.
A hyper-rational manager might argue that cutting costs to the level that matches revenue is the only path that makes sense, and (rationally) that's correct, even inarguable. But that's hard, because the vast bulk of the costs in a law firm are people, starting with lawyers and starting among lawyers with partners and the most expensive non-partners.
And because it's hard, by and large that's not what we've done. Nor, I might add, are we remotely at risk of aping hyper-rational managers.
So we are faced with excess capacity. Which leads to intense pricing pressure. Which leads to lower profits. Which leads to... I leave it to your imagination.

Swimming is great exercise not just for you but also for your dog. A great think about hiking is that when you go hiking you often find amazing lakes to go swimming in. This is an amazing way to cool off after a hot hiking trail for both you and your dog.
When you do hiking and expect to end up going in a river or lake and are taking your puppy it is critical to think about the dog safety devices available to you. Some dogs are natural swimmers. However there are many dogs that are not good swimmers. Even if your dog is an amazing swimming the waters you find when hiking can have strong currents or otherwise be unpredictable. Even a dog who is a good swimmer may need swim safety gear.
One piece of equipment to consider is a personal floatation device. These are available in different sizes and levels of durability and buoyancy. Other equipment and products to consider is shampoo to clean the dog after the swim and toys. There is a multitude of toys that are buoyant to make the swim more fun for everyone.
Safety Begins Before the Water
Safety begins before you even enter the water. Consider buying a dog personal floatation device. These are basically life jackets for dogs. There are various models. Some are light duty designed predominantly for pools and calm still lakes. Others are medium duty and more for your mild rivers. There are others that are heavy duty that are great for white water environments.
Learning to Swim Begins Before the Water
Some dogs may not be natural swimmers. These dogs may still want to jump in the water when you are hiking. If you have one of these dogs consider getting a personal floatation device that is designed for training dogs to swim. These often have multiple buoyancy levels to give dogs a push but still keep them safe. They may also be slightly different that a typical PFD as to how they fit. When purchasing one make sure to get a buoyancy level that fits your dog.
Sizing the PFD
It is critical to get the right size for the dog personal floatation device. When you are hiking and hit water it is not uncommon for the water to have a current. You do not want to have the PFD too big and slip off your dog and float away. Similarly you do not want it to be too tight and restrict movement or worse. The sizes are based on the diameter of the chest on your dog or the widest part of the rib cage. Packages typically show sizes by these diameters.
Visibility of the PFD
At a beach where there is a bunch of people or in an area where there are visual obstructions the color and reflectivity of the PFD can be vitally important. Consider PFD options that are brightly colored or even have a reflective device. Your dog may look amazing is black, however black may not be the best color for safety. Neon yellow and neon orange while not as pretty may be infinitely better options for the dog's safety.
Grab it
While on land and sand you may be able to let the dog run free. In water you may want the dog to be easy to grab at any second. This is especially true when you are in a boat. It is not uncommon for dogs to get very excited and want to jump out of the boat. Consider getting a PFD for the dog that has a handle on it. This is great for enabling you to grab the dog and help the dog back into the boat. If you are hiking it is also great when a dangerous animal or another dog is near and you want to quickly grab the dog and get the dog near you.
What do you recommend
The best recommendation is to look at the PFD options yourself. If you can consider taking the dog with you so you can see which are most comfortable for the dog.
The chain pet stores often have a wide selection of generic life jackets and fashionable life jackets. These are great for calmer areas. You may want to check out sports stores if you are planning frequent trips in rough water as they may have more options for heavy duty jackets.

OpenSolaris R.I.P.: The Day is Finally Here.13 Aug '10 - 20:26 by benr
This is a real thing. This is not hype or idle rambling. OpenSolaris is, as of Friday the 13th of August, 2010, dead. Read the full skinny in the leaked internal email to Solaris Engineering.
Here is the short version: OpenSolaris is dead. No more real-time/nightly code pushes. OpenSolaris 2010.05 will not happen, nor will any in the future. Solaris 11 Express will be the new "developer" release which will be available through OTN. Solaris will remain open source, but code will only be released after the product ships, not before.
Now, lets go bit by bit.
Today we are announcing a set of decisions regarding the path to Solaris 11, and answering key pending questions on open source, open development, software and binary licenses, and how developers and early adopters will be able to use Solaris 11 technology before its release in 2011.
So, Solaris 11 is the new hotness and the "community" is reduced to "early adopters".
Solaris must stand alone as a best-of-breed technology for Oracle's enterprise customers. We want all of them to think "If this has to work, then it runs on Solaris." That's the Solaris brand. That is where our scalability to more than a few sockets of CPU and gigabytes of DRAM matters.
This goes on for a while, but the message is clear. Solaris needs to not simply be another UNIX OS... it needs to be, as it was in the 90's, the enterprise platform of choice.
We will continue to grow a vibrant developer and system administrator community for Solaris. Delivery of binary releases, delivery of APIs in source or binary form, delivery of open source code, delivery of technical documentation, and engineering of upstream contributions to common industry technologies (such as Apache, Perl, OFED, and many, many others) will be part of that activity. But we will also make specific decisions about why and when we do those things, following two core principles: (1) We can't do everything. The limiting factor is our engineering bandwidth measured in people and time. So we have to ensure our top priority is driving delivery of the #1 Enterprise Operating System, Solaris 11, to grow our systems business; and (2) We want the adoption of our technology and intellectual property to accelerate our overall goals, yet not permit competitors to derive business advantage (or FUD) from our innovations before we do.
This, really, isn't so bad. But again, no community, just end-users. A return to focus isn't a bad thing.
We will continue to use the CDDL license statement in nearly all Solaris source code files. We will not remove the CDDL from any files in Solaris to which it already applies, and new source code files that are created will follow the current policy regarding applying the CDDL (simply, that usr/src files will have the CDDL, and the very small minority of files in usr/closed might not have it).
Ok, so existing code will not be closed. So, no drastic change.
We will distribute updates to approved CDDL or other open source- licensed code following full releases of our enterprise Solaris operating system. In this manner, new technology innovations will show up in our releases before anywhere else. We will no longer distribute source code for the entirety of the Solaris operating system in real-time while it is developed, on a nightly basis.
So here is the killer... what I've been afraid of. No more nightly code. The upshot is that the code will still be available following releases to assist with DTracing, debugging, etc, but you won't get real-time updates. The biggest downside is that you can't see bug-fixes as they are put-back, and obviously anyone developing on Solaris is always playing catch up. It says "full release", so I can't expect that code will ship with each Express release. Maybe it will, I hope so.
It goes on to say that "technology partners" (such as Intel) will have full source access via OTN.
We will encourage and listen to any and all license requests for Solaris technology, either in part or in whole. All such requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but we believe there are many complementary areas where new partnership opportunities exist to expand use of our IP.
This is a sticky place. Code is shipped CDDL post-release, however they want to establish partnership opportunities. Clearly they are trying to ensure any businesses which rely upon Nevada will not escape from the partner programs and thus revenue opportunities for Oracle.
We will deliver technical design information, in the form of documentation, design documents, and source code descriptions, through our OTN presence for Solaris. We will no longer post advance technical descriptions of every single ARC case by default, indicating what technical innovations might be present in future Solaris releases. We can at any time make a specific decision to post advance technical information for any project, when it serves a particular useful need to do so.
Flush... there goes ARC. So the external view into Solaris development is now closing. We now only see what they wish us to see.
We will have a Solaris 11 binary distribution, called Solaris 11 Express, that will have a free developer RTU license, and an optional support plan. Solaris 11 Express will debut by the end of this calendar year, and we will issue updates to it, leading to the full release of Solaris 11 in 2011.
So, back to the old days.
All of Oracle's efforts on binary distributions of Solaris technology will be focused on Solaris 11. We will not release any other binary distributions, such as nightly or bi-weekly builds of Solaris binaries, or an OpenSolaris 2010.05 or later distribution. We will determine a simple, cost-effective means of getting enterprise users of prior OpenSolaris binary releases to migrate to S11 Express.
There is the axe on OpenSolaris, present and future. The distro isn't coming. No nightly. No BFU's.
We will have a Solaris 11 Platinum Customer Program, including direct engineering involvement and feedback, for customers using our Solaris 11 technology. We will be asking all of you to participate in this endeavor, bringing with us the benefit of previous Sun Platinum programs, while utilizing the much larger megaphone that is available to us now as a combined company.
And here we see again, its "back to the future" . Pay to play.
The Verdict
Frankly, I'm not surprised by any of this. Saddened, certainly, but not shocked. The sleigh ride is officially over.
As far as the community and governance is concerned, the OGB played right into Oracle hand. It might as well have been engineered this way. On Monday, the 16th, the OGB will disband and default on the charter. Great work guys! Thanks for truly representing the needs and desires of Ora...I mean, the community.
As a governance, OpenSolaris has been a non-stop, end to end failure. Hands down. At every turn, it failed.
As an open source project, it was luke warm at best.
What I will miss is having full access to Solaris Engineering. What's happening, where we're going. That was amazing. An all access pass. I will truly miss that.
The plus side is, that for all the ups-and-downs, the code is out there. They can't take that back. And we have reasonable assurances that it will stay out there following "full releases". That's not ideal, but its something. Something very valuable.
As for me... Illumos will now carry the torch, and I'll participate in that with all the more gusto. This blog existed prior to OpenSolaris and it will continue to be a Solaris blog after. Solaris is the best platform on earth, it continues to be, in any given form.
> We will distribute updates to approved CDDL or other open source- licensed code following full releases of our enterprise Solaris operating system.
I'll believe that when I see it.
Also, "approved" introduces some ambiguity; I have two possible interpretations of that sentence.
marsell - 13 August '10 - 20:35"Solaris is the best platform on earth, it continues to be, in any given form."
Amen to that brother. Could not have said better myself.
Andrei Tokarev (Email) - 13 August '10 - 20:44Ben:
Sad, sad news. My worst expectation for OpenSolaris was that Oracle would stop the binary distribution but would keep the source code open. But it seems that Oracle has finally turned the tap off completely.
Now, does it mean that Illumos should immediately stop spooning and start forking?
Let's see, Illumos needs to
1. Get gcc tool chain to replace Sun Studio 12.
2. kcfd is a bitch. Any ideas? Does it mean that someone has to write a kcfd to OpenSSL adapter?
3. NFSd lock manager isn't bad
4. Drivers aren't bad, just copy and paste FreeBSD code.
Nexenta needs to do a PR soon, because I think this news would definitely affect their commercial NexentaStor product as well.
Any thoughts?
TS (Email) - 13 August '10 - 21:19From Larry some time in May: "It's picking the Sun technologies that are commercializable and focusing on those and ignoring those that are not"
Opensolaris was ignored and somehow we were all made to believe that it is not over yet. Well now it is. If I went with my take on what he said I would have been a few months into migrating. What about all the systems I still have running. No security updates etc. How can we trust another project. Illumos sounds like another science project. I do not think there will be enough buy in. Trust me I prefer Solaris/Opensolaris above all, but I put way too much stock in Opensolaris as a system to use and build services. I cannot trust Illumos and end up in the same state. I guess it is back to CentOS :( no ZFS :( Linux :( Not happy, but to wait to pay for Solaris 11 (what will the price be set at even??) Seems they only target the enterprise. Solaris 10 right now = no COMSTAR! not worth paying for it.
I just hope Oracle relax and allow ZFS to filter into Linux or BTRFS move forward faster. There is a time to give up and now is the time before hearts are broken all over again. Putting any trust in Illumos/Nexenta will be a waste of time.
wasting time - 13 August '10 - 23:13TS: There IS Zfs for linux:
Alpha stage, but it can be finished.
george - 13 August '10 - 23:26@ wastingtime, okay, don't bother then.
Ben, Illumos does indeed shine new light, and now all the more so. Let's make it happen!
Dave - 14 August '10 - 00:28I'll be honest, I'm surprised to see it go down like this. Of course it was always a possibility that Oracle would just pull the plug, bot somehow I didn't think they'd really do it.
With the code walled off until after release, where are Illumos and Nexenta even going? Is there enough interest in Illumos from the sorts of people who could tackle such a huge engineering task as building a whole new system out of the opensolaris code? Or will it be stuck lagging behind Solaris proper by months or longer, ala Centos/RHEL?
I hope there's a future for a community driven Solaris variant, I really do, but I worry that this really may be the end of the line.
JeremyT (Email) - 14 August '10 - 03:00I agree with your various points, Ben, except for your views on the OGB. There have been enough opportunities for all of us to provide ideas and inputs on what we'd like the OGB to do, and they have accepted those inputs. Sure, they could have asked for a status about the distro and exposed the farce and didn't, but I'm not sure if asking for the status of projects was within the charter. In any case, there were enough members asking about the status.
We're all optimistic about illumos, so it might be best to stop this repeated infighting.
Sriram Narayanan (Email) (URL) - 14 August '10 - 05:05Wrote an post – maybe publish it everywhere – hopefully oracle reads it:
Michael Widmann (Email) (URL) - 14 August '10 - 08:57It is sad to see that happening. Along with the new patent war on Sun's patents. What will be next? Oracle suing the Illumos and Nexenta projects? That doesn't seem like a trustworthy development platform for open source engineering anymore…
amano (Email) - 14 August '10 - 12:14You've been riding the OGB's decision pretty hard. It had no bearing on Oracle's strategy. I can't imagine any action or inaction of the OGB in the last 6 months that would have caused a single word of the memo to be different. Personally, I'm fine with the ultimatium.
John (Email) - 14 August '10 - 19:07Next will be OpenOffice and MySQL.
Qba - 14 August '10 - 22:20In the past I took a decision to continue and use Linux and now I am happy I did so. This is a sad, OpenSolaris is a great OS.
I did the same choice with PostgreSQL and I encourage people to dump MySQL. First, its way better then MySQL.
Second, its less likely to be taken off the hands of the community.
Michael Ben-Nes (Email) (URL) - 15 August '10 - 14:51I'm evaluating FreeBSD as an exit strategy. ZFS is a lot more mature there than on Linux, and the performance potential seems better since it's in the kernel instead of in userspace.
Orv (Email) - 16 August '10 - 20:53"So, Solaris 11 is the new hotness and the "community" is reduced to "early adopters"."
Let's face the harsh reality:
Solaris is too high-tech of an OS to be worked on by a bunch of "me toos" that will switch "distros" for whatever is fashionable these days.
There are very few people like Joerg Schilling, Masayuki Murayama, or Juergen Keil.
Most in the OpenSolaris "community" were really just trendy end-users, they weren't professional system or kernel engineers; and Solaris kernel really does require that level of understanding and expertise to be worked on.
Next, I am really, truly happy to see that OpenSolaris, the distribution, is being ditched. It was a no-good Linux copycat attempt led by Comay, Miner and Walker who really don't know what they are doing and did not listen to reason. /usr/gnu first in PATH, attempting to enhance all the SVR4 utilities to be GNU compatible, /bin/bash, IPS (with no preinstall, postinstall, preremove and postremove "actions", as well as being a salad of Python and C, instead of pure C), they were and are all fiascos. Instead of visiting Snoracle biggest customers and doing case studies, those guys are in thir own little world, second guessing what the correct thing to do would be.
I'm also very happy that Solaris is back, and I applaud Oracle for having the good sense to reverse the "OpenSolaris is the way forward" decision.
Do I agree with all the conclusions which Oracle made? Most certainly not!
They should become a direct distributor, like DELL: it should be possible to buy support and hardware online, like one shops for books on Amazon.
Hardware from Oracle should be cheaper than from anyone else, but it isn't.
Oracle does not seem to care about small and medium sized businesses, which hold the market majority.
UX-admin (Email) - 17 August '10 - 15:52"Let's see, Illumos needs to
1. Get gcc tool chain to replace Sun Studio 12."
Sun Studio 12 u1 is the best compiler currently available on the market, and it's free for download.
What technical reason could you possible have to replace something that can be downloaded free of charge, with a vastly inferior GNU compiler collection?
What nonsense!
UX-admin (Email) - 17 August '10 - 15:57@UX-Admin
I agree that Sun Studio 12 u1 is the best compiler. Changing it over to gcc tool chain has nothing to do with performance, but rather has to do with the POWER of Control. The question is this: are we willing to sacrifice up to 10% of binary performance by changing from SS12 to GCC v4 to free ourselves from Oracle control completely? The answer is ABSOLUTELY.
"I'm also very happy that Solaris is back, and I applaud Oracle for having the good sense to reverse the "OpenSolaris is the way forward" decision.
I am not sure why you are so happy that OpenSolaris is killed. I am sure you have read my comment at c0t0d0s0.org regarding the 1200%+ Solaris support price increase for 8 socket servers and 600%+ price increase for 2S servers from the previous basic support. Hey, if you are willing to pay $1000-$2000 per socket per year, go ahead. Some of us here with a brain already knows that's $80K dollars over 5 years for 8 socket servers, in other words, your efficiency just got halved by Oracle by using Solaris 10. That's indeed a great reason to celebrate the "rebirth of Solaris 10" right?
TS (Email) - 19 August '10 - 10:50@ben thanks for this post and a good perspective.
I think this is another step that Oracle is taking to do some house cleaning for their talent base. In a time like today's market, when even NASA is fighting to attract talent, it looks like Oracle is channeling their engineering focus in what makes them money.
Am I supporting Oracle's decision NO! but I can see the business reasons for it!

Today, AIX is years ahead of any Unix OS. Coupled with its Power processor, nothing comes close to performance and functionality to IBM's Power servers and AIX.

Where have you been? We've missed you so much!
Yes, the great Server Meltdown of 2010 is over, and everything now seems to be back in order. You might notice that we don't exactly do this for money, as evidenced by our lack of ads, and our lack of eye-catching graphic design. Well, if you like us and want to help us get some better web hosting, maybe you could purchase one of them t-shirts we are flogging over there to the right? I know, I know. Begging is so very uncool. But hey, just saying, you get what you pay for!
Speaking of which… there is some brilliant armchair analysis, fixtures, and your comments after the hop.
Right, so on to the football. Probably today's most intriguing match is Stoke at home versus Spurs. Stoke have been very solid at the Brittania Stadium this season, where they have conceded all of 9 goals. Spurs, on the other hand, will be trying to hold on to fourth place, and they'll have to do it without Jermain Defoe, who is out with the dreaded six-week hamstring injury. Today also marks Ryan Shawcross's return from suspension after that incident against Arsenal. The less said about that the better, but trust me, it will be an ad naseum talking point. Unfortunately, this match is on Fox Soccer Plus, which I believe is currently available to all of 3 people in Guam. Oh well.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa hosts Wolves in the early EPL match, as Arsenal hosts Wet Spam. Both winnable home games for two teams hoping to remain in contention for fourth place and the EPL title race respectively. Hull makes their Phil Brown-less debut against Pompey today, which is certainly as good a game as any for Sloth Dowie to take the reins. In Serie A, Roma and Inter each have fixtures after their high and low of midweek European action. It'll be interesting to see how the teams respond, especially given Inter's poor run in the Italian league of late. And then in the Championship, Newcastle are away to Bristol City, who like Hull will be looking to the proverbial new manager effect. Newcastle, however, have a real chance to solidify their lead in the Fizzy Pop league and look to be a good bet for an eventual return to the EPL.
Oh and tonight marks the grand opening of the Red Bulls Arena, where yours truly and Ned will be there to watch Robinho Juan Pablo Angel a bunch of players we have never heard of at a beautiful new soccer-specific stadium, which will soon be sitting unused due to the MLS strike.
Without further ado, today's selected fixtures….
