How to Install Fence Posts
A yard or lawn is the outdoor sanctuary of one's home that allows homeowners to relax and enjoy the beauty of their garden. Privacy within your garden is always preferred and thus, a fence may need to be built in order to ensure the safety and security of you and your family. The first step of building a fence is to install fence posts around the perimeter of the property in order to establish the layout of the yard. The below mentioned steps will go over how one can properly install fence posts around their yard.
With the help of a tape measure, determine the layout of the area where the fence is to be installed. Once you know where your fence is going to be installed, the next step is to lay the foundation of the fence, that is the fence posts. After the points of stabilization have been established, you need to insert a stake into each one of these points in order to identify where the fence posts will be situated.
A typical fence consists of 4X4 sized fence posts but any size can be used. The hole for the fence posts should be approximately 4 inches wider than the fence posts. If there is no frost where the fence is being installed, you may be required to dig holes with the intention that one half of the exposed height of the post is underground. In case, there are areas where frost takes place, you need to be no less than 6 inches below the frost line. The best way to dig holes is with the help of a gas powered auger. Alternatively, you may also dig them using a shovel, however this can be very lengthy and also tiring.
When digging the holes, you must leave room, a few extra inches is intended for putting in a gravel base. The gravel base will create a drainage system under the fence posts. Once the holes are dug out, you need to start mixing the concrete using a wheelbarrow bucket. Insert your first fence post inside the hole and start adding in the concrete with the help of a shovel. Once the concrete has been put in, level the fence posts and make them even.
Once the first post has been installed, move to the next corner fence post and stretch a line of string from the first fence post to the second in order for you to ensure that you have a straight and even line. Once all the corner fence posts have been installed, you can continue to install the fence posts that are situated between the corner posts. This will make sure you don't get an uneven fence.

February 14 & 21, 2011: Confessions of a Juggler by Tina Fey
"How do you juggle it all?" people constantly ask me, with an accusatory look in their eyes. "You're screwing it all up, aren't you?" their eyes say.
Tina Fey's reflections on juggling motherhood and career are surprisingly warm, and (not surprisingly) funny. If that whole "30 Rock" gig falls through, I hope she starts writing the "Shouts & Murmurs" column.
I was looking forward to Mary Gaitskill's story in this issue, "The Other Place." And though it was perfectly written, as you would expect, and the story of the would-be-killer on whom the tables are painfully turned was interesting, in the end it felt more than a little gratuitous. I would expect that if a New Yorker story takes on a chestnut like "even a mild-mannered father who teaches his son to fly fish in the back yard could be a serial killer at heart," it would be done in a way that pushes the envelope or adds a new spark to the cold embers of the trope. Alas, "The Other Place" does neither.

A Seattle-based policy group this week asked the Washington State Auditor's Office to investigate the Columbia River Crossing.
The Washington Policy Center, a conservative-leaning think tank, asked for an audit on the Washington State Department of Transportation and the $3.5 billion CRC, citing reports from Vancouver forensic accountant Tiffany Couch.
In October and early November, Couch's firm, Acuity Group, released a series of four reports that raised questions about the project's openness, accounting, expenditures, large cost overruns and other "irregularities." Each report was publicly released to state and federal lawmakers.
The CRC, which would replace the Interstate 5 Bridge, extend light rail to Vancouver and rebuild five miles of freeway, continues to face logistical and financial uncertainty. Project leaders hope to begin major construction in late 2014.

April 17, 1999
DAVIS, Calif. - Stanford went up 4-0 in the first four minutes on the game and never looked back. Our attack was on fire! It was a hot day, the crowd was rowdy because it was Picnic Day at UC Davis, but Stanford prevailed.
The team had to deal with taunting from the fans and angry players, but they channeled their energy and came up with an impressive win. I think that this proves that we are ready for the next challenge.
With this game, Stanford secured the number one position going into playoffs. With this number one position intact, the Cardinal expects to go all the way to the WWLL Final Four being hosted by Stanford May 8/9.
Seniors, Alexis Patrizio, Carey Jones and Stephanie Tuerk all played with heart. As it nears the end of their collegiate careers, it is evident that they will be missed on the field. Patrizio sparked Stanford to the 4-0 lead in the beginning of the game with the game opening goal and one soon to follow. And Jones had a hat trick to start off the second half scoring spree. Goalie Stephanie Tuerk was as solid as ever in the goal.

The Sacraments
Every human community has visible signs of its beliefs, relationships, and special occasions. Signs of becoming a member, continuing actively as a member, as well ceremonies celebrating adulthood, marriage, and new leadership are ingredients of many cultures and organizations. In addition, some groups have ways of expressing sorrow and forgiveness, healing, and death. It is characteristically human to dramatize convictions, changes and special moments, whether it is a nations parade on a holiday, a school graduation, or the awarding of Nobel prizes. For most men and women it would be unthinkable to mark such events with a passive nod! The Christian Church is no exception.
The Christian sacraments are traditionally understood as "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." They are reliable signs and occasions of Gods gracious activity among us. They are transforming acts by which we enter the heartfelt testimony we hear and retell. In the sacraments, therefore, the church enacts not merely its own word, but Gods Word. (Norris, Understanding the Faith of the Church, p. 216) The sacraments are administered within the Church community; they are not rites to which all persons are automatically entitled. As the Rev. Professor Massey H. Shepherd, Jr. noted years ago (in Sacraments, A Handbook of Christian Theology, pp. 331ff.):
Apart from the context of corporate church life, a sacrament is meaningless, if not, more extremely, a superstitious piece of magic. To be a Christian involves more than a personal faith in the redeeming* act of God and Christ. It demands an incorporation into the community where the effects of Christs redemption in reconciliation and charity may be actualized and nurtured. A sacrament cannot be performed by an individual by himself alone; it requires at least another party. Thus a sacrament is more than a visible token of Gods free favor and grace offered to one who accepts His redeeming love in faith and devotion. It is an instrument whereby the individual is made a member of a covenant-community and ordered by its disciplines and responsibilities. To say that any particular sacrament is necessary to salvation does not mean that God is tied and bound to bestow grace only by this means, but to affirm that in all normal circumstances an individual is made a partaker of Christs redemption by being related to others who share the same benefits. In the sacraments, therefore, both the personal and the social relationships of Christian salvation are publicly ratified, accepted, and communicated.
[*Redeeming and redemption refer to the reality that human circumstances, often deathlike, are out of alignment with Gods purposes for creation and our lives; in Christs ministry we are offered the pathway to the abundant, liberated, reconciled life with God within the Covenant community of agape (love). There are many interpretations of redemption.]
The Episcopal Church affirms two sacraments as instituted by Christ and as necessary to the life of a Christian: Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Five other sacramental rites evolved in the life of the early Church: confirmation, ordination, holy matrimony, reconciliation of a penitence (sometimes referred to as penance), and unction (years ago in a limited way known as the last rites).
What does "grace" mean? During the 1958-9 academic year at the Berkeley Divinity School in New Haven, Visiting Lecturer Dr. Leonard Hodgson (Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and Regius Professor of Divinity, Oxford) commented: We begin by repudiating all notions of grace which think of it as a something given by God to work mechanically, after the manner of a medicine given by a doctor to be taken three times a day after meals. We think of Gods grace after the analogy of that help which one can give to another in personal relationships, help which does not set aside or supersede a mans own freedom but enables him to be more truly himself and more fully free: the sort of help which leads him to say with gratitude, I could never have been what I am but for X.
In the Bible, grace is synonymous with favor, mercy, compassion, kindness and love. Because of our human limitations, individuals are unable to establish truly personal, faithful relationships with God solely by their own efforts. Gods grace is extended to us that we might become more aligned with Gods purposes and to mature toward a fuller communion with the Creator and each other. Neither controlling nor coercing, Gods freely given grace enables, strengthens, and empowers. Recipients of grace remain free to respond or not; otherwise, God-given human freedom would be shackled.
Other theologians have commented on grace in these ways:
"The term 'grace' has a long and complex history. .... Grace has... come to mean the will of God (which is also his love) regarded as active on behalf of and in (human beings)." [Doctrine in the Church of England]
"Grace is God's personal attitude toward (humanity), His action and influence upon (us) ... The Bible is a record of the mighty acts of God's grace. This action of God is both for and within (us).'' [Mollegen]
"(Grace) is the redemptive activity of divine love." (Watson)
"...that word denotes one of two things. Either it means the active work of the Holy Spirit, enlivening people and helping them to grow into their identity in Christ; or else it means the results - what we call the fruits - in the lives of human beings, of what the Holy Spirit does. ... It signifies the way in which, as the Holy Spirit, he becomes the interior power through which people learn to know themselves in Christ and are strengthened to grow up into his life. ... Grace, then, is both the activity of the Holy Spirit and the effects of that activity (Rom. 5:5)...the results it produces in human lives. . What grace is not, though, is a something, a special kind of stuff or substance, which God confers on people. (Norris)
Grace is God's "loving-kindness" unearned by human beings and freely given by God. "...the Bible is the story of ... the grace of God. Without grace, there would never have been any chosen people, any story to tell at all.... In the New Testament...we find (grace) made manifest in the life and work of Jesus Christ." (Snaith)
Unable because of human limitations to establish a truly innocent and personal relationship with God by one's own efforts, an individual forms a relationship with the Creator by means of God's inviting grace. This is not unlike a quite limited infant being loved by a parent, who initiates an outreach to the child with affectionate support and nurture. Such parental love, like God's grace, neither coerces nor controls or bargains with the child; instead, it enables, strengthens, and empowers. The recipient of grace remains free to respond faithfully or not. (Please read Gifts and Satan within the Worship Notes/Bible section of this website.)
Interpreted in various ways are issues related to administering sacraments (such as baptism) and their effects on a person unable to comprehend the occasion (such as an infant) or upon a person without faith. Any explanation cannot presume to limit Gods activity in a human life, and all interpretations need to avoid a magical, wizard-like implantation of a spiritual vitamin within a person.
We need to remind ourselves that just as one cannot precisely define that "chemistry" between two persons called "love," we cannot with scientific-like language define "grace" and specify precisely how and where it "works." No matter how hard we try to describe or analyze relationships, we always fall short of understanding fully what is happening; this limitation in our comprehension applies both to human relationships and relationships of grace between God and humanity. Degrees of ambiguity accompany most attempts to explain intimate relationships, whether human or divine.
Under most circumstances preparation for participation in the sacraments is expected. At the very least the participants should understand the basic meaning of the Prayer Book words to be used.
What follows in this paragraph is harsh, but valid. Too often, clergy are guilty of liturgical malpractice - by selling liturgical rites; - by cowering under pressures from influential individuals who demand christenings, confirmations, and weddings; - by trying to appear successful by means of reports of numbers/quantity of their liturgical victims; or - by trying to be nice/popular/pastoral. This is clearly sinful on the part of such clergy, and they try to excuse their wizardry by declaring that those involved receive Gods grace regardless of any preparations. This irresponsibility flirts with magical understandings of the sacraments and is often labeled pejoratively and rightly cheap grace. Recipients of such reckless generosity rarely have any significant commitment to the words muttered in Services, to the Church, and to the Covenant with God through Christ. Afterwards we wonder why we see in church only a minority of the people who amble through these rites-on-demand from the ecclesiastical public utility!
The sacraments are precious gifts from the Creator that are to be cherished and respected. Their true meanings indicate Gods loving search for individuals and their graceful nurture in covenant life. Not to be idolized or trivialized, the sacraments are indispensable to the evolving journey of the people, the Christian Church.

Baptism/Part Three: The most important day in ones life is the day of his/her baptism. On this day we are graced with a basic identity and purpose and welcomed into the community of Faith called the Church, the Body of Christ. We are baptized as Christians, not as Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, Methodists, and so on. The realization of that identity as a unique child of God, a member of the Christian Church, will depend on the nurturing we receive.
Legitimate differences remain among Christians as to the age at which baptism is to be administered, whether as an infant or as an adult. If as an infant or child, the childs family with the broader church has the responsibility for the nurturing process. Sadly, this is seldom carried through.
The practical benefits of baptism are stated or implied in the readings requested in Parts One and Two of this section. Briefly, each baptized person becomes a named child of God within the Church; his or her purpose in life is to love and be loved, that is, to live the Summary of the Law. This provides the basis or perspective for all of our roles and activities, our ethnic and national heritages, and who we see in a mirror. There will be no identity crises, major problems with self-esteem, or puzzlement to the purpose of ones life, if baptism is ones foundation.
To conclude this unit, please read the section below from An Outline of the Faith.

In the name of God, most compassionate, most merciful. Blessings and peace be upon the most noble of prophets.
Mr. President:
It is with pleasure that I convey to Your Excellency, at the outset of my speech, our sincerest congratulations on the occasion of your election to the presidency of the forty-eighth session of the general assembly of the United Nations. Your selection reflects appreciation for you personally, as well as for the positive role played by your country in the international arena. May you be successful in the pursuit of your mission.
On this occasion, I also wish to congratulate your predecessor for his effective conduct of the affairs of the general assembly during its previous session.
I also wish to acknowledge the sincere efforts continually exerted by His Excellency, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dr. Boutros-Boutros-Ghali, to enhance the prospects for peace and reduce elements of tension which prevail in many parts of the world.
I am also pleased, on behalf of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to welcome all the states which have joined our distinguished organization to participate, along with all other member states, in realizing the noble objectives towards which we strive.
Mr. President:
The convening of the general assembly of the United Nations is taking place amidst important developments in the international arena which require us to strive to conclude this session with successful resolutions on the problems and crisis we face. These resolutions must be within the context of our efforts to benefit from the opportunities provided by the emergence of what has come to be known as the new international order.
We have all contributed through the United Nations organization to establishing the new international order whose foundations are based on the principles enshrined in the U.N. charter and inherent in international legitimacy. This new order respects the sovereignty and independence of nations, and assures the sanctity of international borders. It guarantees the territorial integrity of states and rejects interference in their domestic affairs. It is based on equity among nations, small and large, rich and poor, whose goal is to bring about cooperation among nations and peoples rather than war and destruction. The new international order strives for the peaceful resolution of conflict and rejects the use of force or coercion. It operates to preserve the dignity of man and to spread security, stability, prosperity, and development to all corners of our world.
The emergence of this order brought optimism and hope to the international community, particularly when serious and constructive international cooperation succeeded in confronting the Iraqi aggression against the State of Kuwait. Today, we are saddened and pained by the inability of this order to confront the aggression committed against the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, a member state of our international organization. This crisis, if not resolved in a manner compatible with the principles of the new world order, will cause this new order to lose its credibility and effectiveness. We therefore call for enhancing the role of the United Nations from simply managing crises and preserving peace, to actively and effectively working to make peace.
Mr. President:
A general overview of the current international situation reveals that there still remain pockets of tension which threaten security and stability in many regions of the world. The role of the United Nations is becoming increasingly more important, not only for the preservation of peace, but as an effective means for the creation of proper conditions for peace and stability throughout the world.
Without a doubt, the achievement of such conditions will be easier whenever opportunities for cooperation among nations and enhanced support for the United Nations is achieved. The organization must operate in a manner which assures that no nation commits aggression against another or threatens its security and sovereignty.
The United Nations played an honorable role more than three years ago when it stood firmly in the face of Iraq's aggression against its neighbor Kuwait. It passed resolutions and took firm positions, which led to the reversal of the aggression and the restoration of legitimacy to Kuwait, a peace-loving nation. This role reflects positively our perception of what we expect of this international body during times of tension. We hope and ask that this role continue and is enhanced through efforts to assure the complete implementation of all Security Council resolutions regarding the Iraqi regime, a regime which continues to flaunt international legality. Two years after the liberation of Kuwait, the Baghdad regime continues to practice a behavior of threats and false accusations against Kuwait. It continues to delay efforts to implement United Nations resolutions, and rejects all international obligations. We point to the Iraqi regime's objection to the recommendations of the United Nations Commission on the demarcation of the boundary between the State of Kuwait and Iraq, and the Iraqi regime's rejection of UN Security Council Resolution 833, as well as the continuation of this regime's detention of Kuwaiti hostages and POWs.
This regime has given itself the right, on the basis of sovereignty, to starve and abuse its people and subject Iraq to dangers which threaten its unity and security. It falsely blames the international community for the dangers and tragedies to which Iraq and its people have become subject. The means for dealing with the dangers of this regime to the region in general, and the Iraqi people in particular, depend first and foremost on the full and complete implementation of the resolutions of the Security Council.
Mr. President:
The declaration of principles between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli government, signed in Washington on September 13th of this year, has raised expectations and hopes which signal the possibility of achieving a just and permanent settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict; a conflict which has persisted for too long. This development, though it represents only an agreement on self-government in the occupied Palestinian territories, beginning with Gaza and Jericho, nevertheless represents a step towards the establishment of a just, comprehensive and permanent peace between the Arab States and Israel. It is natural that a solution to the Palestinian question will contribute to a just and comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict because it represents the core of this conflict.
The welcome with which the Palestinian-Israeli agreement was received within Palestinian, Arab and international circles genuinely and clearly reflects the desire of the Arabs for the establishment of a permanent, just and comprehensive peace in the Middle-East. It also indicates the seriousness with which the Arab side has pursued the current peace process, which was launched in Madrid in October of 1991 under the sponsorship of the United States of America and the Federated Russian Republic.
We are witnessing today the optimism generated by the Palestinian-Israeli agreement, and we feel it is incumbent upon the international community to lend support to the progress which has been achieved in this area by providing the necessary economic and developmental assistance required to build the administrative structures needed to make the agreement on self-government succeed. At the same time, it is also incumbent upon us to work diligently to exploit the opportunity generated by this agreement to further the cause of peace.
Consolidation of this agreement requires the achievement of concrete and positive results in the areas of negotiation between Palestinians and Israelis, at the forefront of which is the issue of Jerusalem, which is an integral part of the occupied Arab territories, as well as the issue of the return of Palestinian refugees, and the settlements erected by Israel in the occupied Arab territories contrary to international law and the Geneva Conventions. At the same time, genuine progress in all other bilateral negotiating tracks is needed.
The issue of the occupied Golan Heights is clear, and governed by the principle of respect for international borders. The preservation of security is not achieved, as the reality of our contemporary history shows, through the occupation of territory by force, but through the establishment of peace. Therefore, the achievement of peace on this front will only be realized by the complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Golan Heights.
Likewise, the Lebanese-Israeli negotiating track is governed by U.N. Security Council Resolution 425 which clearly calls for the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of Israeli forces from all Lebanese territory.
Mr. President:
I wish to express the appreciation of the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to President Clinton for his prudent initiative in calling for, and hosting, an International Donors Conference to solicit political and financial support for the Palestinians as they prepare to assume the responsibilities of self government in the occupied territories. I also wish to take this opportunity to express our pleasure with the positive results generated at this conference. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has, and continues, to fully support the Middle East peace process by all means. It has participated effectively in the multilateral talks, and genuinely hopes that the process will lead to a just, permanent and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian question and the Arab conflict with Israel on the basis of UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Despite the financial burdens the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia faces in building an advanced economy in which the expectations of its citizens for a better future are fulfilled, and despite its current international obligations at a time of difficulty in the international economic system, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia participated in the International Donors Conference which recently concluded its meeting in Washington, D.C. The Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques bestowed upon me the honor of announcing the Kingdom's commitment to provide substantial developmental assistance to improve the infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza strip in coordination with the World Bank's special five-year program for the occupied territories. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will participate, through the Saudi Development Fund, in the amount of one hundred million U.S. dollars for the year 1994. We believe that this assistance will improve the living conditions of our Palestinian brothers in the occupied Arab territories as well as contribute positively to the peace process.
Mr. President:
The Lebanese government has made great strides in its efforts to implement the Taif accords. It has taken the necessary political and constitutional measures to achieve this aim. We must continue our support for the efforts of the Lebanese legal authority and contribute to the process of reconstruction in Lebanon. In this regard, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia appeals to the international community to help Lebanon by all available means to enable the current government to continue moving forward with the process of reconstruction to allow Lebanon to restore its material and cultural position. It is important, for the realization of this goal, to reiterate the need for an Israeli commitment to fully and unconditionally implement UN Security Council Resolution 425, which requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory to enable the Lebanese government to extend its legal authority over all of Lebanon.
Mr. President:
We would like to emphasize our desire that the Middle East region obtain its legitimate share of security, peace and stability, to so that it will be able to direct all its energies towards development, and devote all its resources towards prosperity for its people. One of the most important tasks facing us is to strive towards the elimination of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the convention on the non-proliferation of chemical weapons and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. We continue to believe that the goal of making the Middle East a region free of all kinds of weapons of mass destruction; whether nuclear, chemical or biological, will only be realized when all states in the region, including Israel, refrain from the production, stockpiling, or possession of any kind of weapon of mass destruction.
Mr. President:
The situation in the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina is worsened by the continuation of a genocidal war committed by Serb forces supported by Serbia and Montenegro against this young republic. The continuing tragedy of the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which has resulted in the death of thousands of innocent civilians and the displacement of a large portion of its citizens, would have occurred were it not for the apparent indifference of the international community. This attitude allowed the forces of aggression to benefit from their aggression, and to continue their abhorable policy of ethnic cleansing without fear of retribution. The weak stand of the international community was reflected in the inability to implement comprehensively the resolutions of the London conference, upon which we placed great hopes. It is also reflected in the failure of the 'Vance-Owen' plan and the collapse of the subsequent Geneva talks on refugees. The abandonment by the international community of its responsibilities with regard to the Serbian aggression has emboldened the Croats to embark upon a similar course of realizing gains by means of force and coercion. We wonder why, when Croatia was subjected to Serbian aggression, the international community, and especially the European Nations, stood by Croatia and provided military assistance which contributed to the success of international efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement, while the international community's weak position toward the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina prevented this young republic from exercising its legitimate right to self-defense, and restricted itself to the implementation of international resolutions to impose economic sanctions on Serbia and Montenegro. These resolutions remained only on paper and were not implemented seriously until after the swords of aggression were drawn and the Serbs rejected the "Vance-Owen" plan which the Bosnians and Croats accepted. What causes us shock and amazement is that this war of aggression is waged on European territory, and history has clearly shown that wars waged in Europe have never been limited wars, but have spread without bounds. This reality is now being ignored.
We hope that the history of warfare in Europe will not repeat itself, and that the solutions currently proposed do not plant the seeds for future conflict, and that the International Community will give serious consideration to the demands of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina to prevent it from being subjected to policies of aggression and ethnic cleansing, and to satisfy the geographical demands of this young nation by granting it access to the seas as well as the means for legitimate self-defense as enshrined in the UN Charter.
Mr. President:
The people and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have taken a principled stand in support of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina which emanates from their strong and complete adherence to international legitimacy and respect for international law. This position was not taken because of religious or ethnic affinity, but rather represents the same principled stand taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in support of Kuwait when it was subjected to aggression by the Iraqi regime.
Mr. President:
Somalia continues to experience instability and political chaos complemented by acts of violence and bloodshed in spite of all the efforts expended to extract this nation from its dilemma. International efforts during the conference for national reconciliation held in Addis Ababa have focused on the preservation of the Somali State and the maintenance of its independence and territorial integrity. Unfortunately, the required steps have not been taken to seriously implement this agreement. The role of the United Nations has been limited to the distribution of humanitarian assistance to those in need, at a time when the role expected of it within the new world order is to contribute to peace-making and stabilization of the Somali State. Such measure should help establish a Somali government which can spread its authority throughout Somalia.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has undertaken a number of attempts at containing the conflict in Somalia and tried to bring about national reconciliation between the various parties. It continues to exert efforts to stop the bloodshed and provide humanitarian assistance and relief. My government supports the recommendations of H.E. the Secretary-General of the United Nations which were presented in a report to the Security Council and which deal with the issue of helping establish Somali institutions and undertaking efforts to achieve national reconciliation and the rebuilding of Somalia.
Mr. President:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has stood by the fraternal people of Afghanistan during their Jihad and celebrated their victory over the forces of brutal occupation and the restoration of their national identity. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has initiated sincere efforts when the fighting between the various Mujaheddin factions began. These efforts were aimed at establishing national reconciliation, and were crowned with the signing of the "Makkah Agreement" and the initiation of steps required for its implementation. A national government representing all factions of the Afghan Mujaheddin was established. We take this opportunity to urge our brothers in Afghanistan to comply with the agreement to enable Afghanistan to move towards rebuilding and development and the restoration of its place and role in the international community.
It must be noted that this part of the world continues to suffer as a result of the Jami-Kashmir problem, which continues to be an element of instability in the region.
The government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques follows, with great concern, the violence which continues to occur, and is anxious for a solution, based on UN Resolutions, to this long-standing problem which has cast its shadow upon relations between two neighbors, India and Pakistan. Of the other conflicts in Asia, the tragic developments in the struggle between two member states of the United Nations, the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia, has resulted in the occupation by Armenia of parts of Azerbaijan. We view this occupation as a violation of the principle of peaceful resolution of conflicts, and emphasize the importance of the withdrawal of Armenian forces from Azerbaijani territory and the transfer of this issue to the negotiating tables to achieve a peaceful and just settlement assuring the legitimate rights of the people of Azerbaijan.
Mr. President:
Our joint and serious efforts towards strengthening the foundations of the new world order which seeks to deal with the issue of development and the creation of an international economic environment in which financial resources are redirected from arms races to economic and social development is in line with our ambitions and the aspirations of our peoples for a better life permeated by peace, prosperity and security. This undertaking requires the cooperation of the developed industrial nations by way of opening their markets for products from developing nations, and the elemination of protectionist measures. The industrial nations can cooperate to accelerate a successful outcome of the "Uruguay Round" of multilateral trade talks, and to find an urgent solution to the debt problem. Furthermore, economic cooperation between developing countries is a paramount issue and represents a fundamental tool for consolidating international economic development.
My government accords great interest and attention to issues relating to the world economic system. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents a state open to the world, interacting with all the trends and developments which affect it. It is keen on preserving the health and strength of the world economy and is concerned with disruptions and turmoil which affect its course and development. It is from this basis that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has positively joined the ongoing discussions on energy and environment. It has assumed its responsibilities in this regard and participated actively in international discussions to find workable and balanced solutions to global warming based on proven scientific evidence. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is convinced that the future of this world and the prosperity of its inhabitants depend on a clear understanding of the environmental problems facing the world as well as an understanding of the consequences of the policies taken to deal with these problems. This requires a delicate balance. The impact of environmental policies on the economic growth of developing countries must be examined for the purpose of highlighting the investment needed to achieve comprehensive development and enhancement of the standard of living of our people so they may enjoy prosperity, peace, security, and stability. The current international circumstances which have led to the end of the cold war, and the progress achieved in arms control, have provided a rare opportunity for channeling the financial windfall towards solving the problems of development and underdevelopment.
Mr. President:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was in the forefront of Islamic States which have ratified the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, issued by the Organization of the Islamic Conference on August 4, 1990, and known as the "Cairo Declaration". This declaration should be regarded as a tributary which provides the proper foundation for positive and practical international cooperation, and which flows into the main stream of universal support for human rights and freedoms. The Cairo Declaration expresses the will of over one billion people, which grants it, by any measure, a universal character. While the principles and objectives of human rights are universal in nature, their application must take into consideration the diversity of societies, and their historical, cultural, and religious backgrounds and legal systems. We should not rush to the creation of mechanisms which would only deepen differences and disregard sensitivities which emerged during the world conference on human rights recently held in Vienna.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a developing society firmly based on the rules which constitute the pillars of Islamic civilization. It is a society which has firmly set itself to face the challenges of our times with determination and confidence. It is a society undergoing evolution and significant reform. Its reforms are guided by the Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques, King Fahd bin Abdulaziz, and embodies in the basic laws of governance, the charter of the Majlis Al-Shura (Consultative Council) and the laws of the provinces. These laws place upon the state the primary responsibility for the protection of human rights in accordance with the Islamic Shari'a, and determine the relationship between the ruler and the ruled on the basis of brotherhood, consultation, loyalty and cooperation. I am pleased to inform this august body that the members of the Majlis Al-Shura (Consultative Council) and the members of the provincial councils have been named. These institutions are now seriously preparing to embark upon their planned tasks to serve their faith, their King, and their nation. This important step in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's development paves the way for the participation of Saudi citizens in sharing the responsibility for confidently building a promising and hopeful future.
Mr. President:
The political and economic challenges we face, which are the subject of our agenda for this session, represent a great responsibility for us towards our people and nations. Our future depends on the way we respond to these challenges. We have great hope, in light of the current international situation and the emergence of international trends rejecting extremism and confirming the desire for openness and progress, that we will be able to overcome these challenges. We must take into consideration that the new international order will not be able to provide us peace, justice and development unless we manage to grant it the means to do so.
Thank you.

Bioware prides itself on offering player choice within their games. For the upcoming third entry of their popular fantasy franchise, Dragon Age: Inquisition, the developer won't just leave narrative choices up to the player as the actions that fans take within game will also affect the very population of Thedas itself. In a new blog post from March 6, producer Cameron Lee revealed that the next Dragon Age title will feature an emergent population system that will be dynamically altered based upon players' in-game decisions.
Gamers who fail to deal with pressing world threats may witness various results down the road. NPC villages may come under siege while animal populations could become over hunted or, if left unchecked, predators may become too dominate in certain areas described Lee.
You'll see towns attacked by bandits, deer fleeing from wolves, giants feeding on bears, and countless other scenarios.
Thursday's new information game alongside an all-new video showing off the many different environments found within Dragon Age: Inquisition. Each of the depicted regions will have unique ecosystems that consist of their own wildlife and NPC factions. Since the game will appear on next-gen systems, Lee confirmed that this will be Bioware's most visually impressive game that they have made to date.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is scheduled to release later this fall for the Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

They gave the other girls cubicles (sp?)…. which they are not thrilled with. Granted, they are BIG but no doors…. each girl was used to their own office. I don't know why they didn't give them an office… there are LOTS of empty ones. But my spot is just gorgeous!
That is so nice. Looks like lots of space for everything you will need close at hand for work.
The building is so big and it's not hard to almost get "lost"…. LoL
Lots of hallways.
Did your job move to a new building or did you get another job? That is a nice work space!
Bon, Same job new building,

Javascript is a dynamic language. And that's a problem. On the one hand it allows you virtually unlimited ability to play with data structures and mold them to your own design. On the other, it presents the virtually insurmountable problem of testability.
One tool that is available now is JavascriptLint. Lint was the tool you may have used many years ago to statically analyze your C source code for common programming errors not picked up by the compiler. So JavascriptLint does the same but for Javascript. It's based on SpiderMonkey, the C-based Javascript engine in Firefox. So you can be sure it's rock solid with zero false positives. It's a fantastic tool to help AJAX programming as it seamlessly integrates into your favorite IDE as an external tool. Some of the errors it picks up on are:
Some of these are only available with the tool in Option Explicit mode. Even if it doesn't spot outright bugs in your code, the checks for type coercion and missing semicolons are performance bugs in your code.
The benefits of JavascriptLint are so conclusive it gets run over my code several times per day.

The beginning of Memphis Belle is more like a prom than a war adventure. Roughly, the film introduces the audience to the crew members of Memphis Belle, a war airplane destined for hsitorical greatness. A pre-exploit party is given to this specially selected group of soldiers who have little or nothing in common. However, together they make a team that overcomes the obstacles and dangers of World War II, all during one mission. What is different about Memphis Belle is how attention is focused not on the setting, just the crew. Every member gets a slight backstory before they are thrust into the flack of enemy aircraft and headed for possible death. In this story, it is how the characters work in unison despite their differences that propagates the audience's interest in the outcome of the plot.
Memphis Belle has mainly one setting, the inside of the title airplane. Otherwise, there are no broad settings to stare at, in order that the viewers are forced to scrutinize the various characters inside that tiny area of space floating precariously in the sky. The cast is headed by several stars, which include Matthew Modine as the courageous leader pilot, Billy Zane as a to-be-doctor, B.J. Sweeney with a distinct phobia for death, and a special appearance by Harry Connick, Jr. Memphis Belle is at times gritty and excessively blunt with sexual innuendo, but the film straightens itself out after the action is underway and the mission is completed. It's a down-to-earth World War II film that analyzes history from a refreshing sky-high point of view.
Memphis Belle is available on DVD wherever movies are sold in Fresno and online; it also can be rented for free from local libraries.

Sci-Fi Platformer by DanLHughesWatch

Work Continues on Encanto Apartments Complex in Menifee
Developers and construction crews are moving forward in the early building stages of the Encanto Ap...
Developers and construction crews are moving forward in the early building stages of the Encanto Apartment Homes, a 180-unit complex the developer describes as "pioneering the luxury apartment market in Sun City."
Initial groundwork is taking place at the site, located on Encanto Road just south of McCall Blvd. on the east side of Interstate 215. An city administrative approval package including plans for landscaping, fencing and entrance monuments was completed this week.
The website of Frost Communities, the developer, describes the complex as including a multi-purpose sport court; pool, wading pool and spa; barbecue area; movie theater; clubhouse; tot lot; gym; and business center. Each apartment comes with an appliance package including washer/dryer, microwave, and refrigerator.
Plans call for an eight-foot combination block and plexiglass wall along Interstate 215 for sound mitigation.
According to Carmen Cave, community development director for the City of Menifee, the project was approved by Riverside County in July of 2006, prior to the city's incorporation. It is part of the Riverside County Integrated Plan, which Menifee inherited upon becoming a city.
Cave said that previous reports describing the Encanto project as "low-income housing" are incorrect. Only 20 percent of the apartment units will be designated as "affordable" housing, she said, and that is only because of a stipulation in the construction loan obtained by the developer.
"For financing purposes, they elected to have 20 percent of the units be affordable housing," Cave said. "That pegs the rent at a certain level."
According to Cave, the builder will charge $650 to $800 per month for the one- and two-bedroom units designated as affordable housing. Rent on the remaining 80 percent of the units will range from $1,000 to $1,400 per month for one- to three-bedroom apartments.
"This is not Section 8 housing or low-income housing," Cave said. "This was one of the projects approved by the county before incorporation, and they still have the land use entitlement. City incorporation did not negate that."

November Carnival
Before reading about my prot pvp adventures please send me a link to a post which fits the criteria for next month's carnival: "Mistakes you've learned from on the auction house."
What I'm Selling Post 4.0.1
I sent out a newsletter to my mailing list detailing the top 10 items I'm selling since 4.0.1 was released. I realize that quite a few of you were interested in this information so I'll also be re-releasing it Monday on the blog.
Protection PvP
Ok well prot pvp is back ladies and gentleman. It's not as strong as it once was but it's not quite dead yet. Arms warriors with the best gear in the game I'd say are of equal value to a prot warrior in my current gear setup (some bis from last season). Now if I had the best dps gear in the game... drool... I'd be unstoppable.
Enough about me, let's talk about you and more importantly how you can learn from me. That's why you come here after all right? You don't want gold tips, you want bone crunching pvp knowledge so you can mercilessly drive your foes into the ground two at a time.
Resilience is Finally the Best Stat for Prot Pvp
Due to vengeance, healing (more on this later) and the insane amount of damage reduction from resilience, this once inferior and ignored statistic is finally #1 on a prot warrior's list when gearing. Resilience is supposedly stopping as much as 60% of oncoming damage on live and this makes prot warriors extremely difficult to kill. I spent honor replacing all my 264 pve gear with resilience (still have boots, gloves and legs but not going to sweat it) and I love it. Although my damage went down a small amount, the benefits of supposedly 36% less oncoming damage is just insane. I say supposedly because a blue poster said that the tooltip is inaccurate but not too far off the actual value for the time being. If vengeance is accumulated despite resilience (full hit before damage reduction) then resilience is even better for prot pvp. However, I have not done testing to see if this is the case. If anyone has data on this please let me know.
Shield Slam is Back
You need enrage from a block, parry or dodge (only 20% chance now of happening), full sunders and shield block up to maximize your shield slam damage. Switch to zerker stance and use battle shout to get extra rage (if you do this you will not get four slams in with max damage but the three you do get in will do additional damage). Then you should spam devastate until a free shield slam appears or until the cooldown is up and push slam again. If you're lucky you could manage to get three shield slams into an opponent for maximum damage. Since these slams can reach upwards of 10k on full resilience targets this combo is your kill move. Get your sunders up, wait for enrage and then press shield block to set it up. The rest is up to sheer luck whether you get the extra slam in during the 10 second window. It's possible to get four in but you'll be able to count on one hand the number of times this happens and you'll need very good timing/reflexes to pull it off. Also, if you don't use abilities like conc blow or heroic throw during the combo then odds are your opponent or his teammate will heal through the damage. Since slam is your big combo now you'll want to bring back good old recklessness for clutch burst kills as well.
I'm happy to see the burst style of slam is back in place. I got gladiator with this style of play and did very well with the attack power devastate/armor pen build as well. I enjoyed being reminded of the good old days when I first learned prot pvp as a shield slam setup warrior. The reason devastate spam build worked better in arenas is because it was continuous damage so our opponents never knew when to pop cooldowns to defend themselves. With shield slam burst you see shield block on the warrior and you know it's time to run, otherwise you know that very little damage is incoming. Had I gone for gladiator in season 7-8 it would have been easier with the devastate build but I chose not to.
Conc Blow, Shockwave, Rend and Blood and Thunder
Conc blow and shockwave are for stunning only now, don't waste these doing damage. Don't bother wasting global cooldowns on stacking the shockwave buff from thunder claps either, the amount of damage you do with the shockwave is hardly worth three globals setting up. In arenas having blood and thunder and stacking the shockwave buff will be worth your while but in chaotic battleground pvp where you don't always necessarily have healers or long fights this isn't worth it. Rend for long fights, otherwise go for slam setup. If you have a healer and are in the fight for a long time then rending, blood and thunder and shockwaving are good options for continuous damage since your vengeance buff will make these decent attacks. Keep in mind however that if you have 40k health you will need to take about 100k damage before your vengeance buff reaches full capacity. Odds are you'll be dead by then or out of combat and losing the buff.
Heroic Strike and Revenge
Heroic Strike is sweet but you need to spec into it to make it worth your while. If you do this then you lose blood and thunder (based on my two optimal builds which I'm spec'd as on Markco of Onyxia). I don't mind though, fights are longer than before but not long enough to warrant the globals for rend and reapplying it. In arena I'd use it but not hopping around from target to target in pvp. I use thunderclap to reduce damage incoming and I try to use it within the time frame for each stacking shockwave buff. I'll keep a stack of three going until I want to stun someone and then let it off for maximum damage, which isn't all that much without a big stack of vengeance going for me. Ok back on topic, yes heroic strike and intervene. This is my favorite combo to use when shield block is down. Both revenge and heroic strike provide tons of damage and I can do it from devensive stance while being focused.
Execute... FINALLY USEFUL
I love it, execute is finally an amazing ability to use when someone is low on health. You can even get a glyph to allow you to heal yourself for 5% with a victory rush after executing someone, but I favor other glyphs over it. The new version is not limitted by the amount of rage you have and starts off with 60% of your attack power as the damage factor. That's huge! If you happen to be fighting in battle or even better zerker, then you're going to love executing with a full rage bar. It's hard to setup your rage so that you'll have a lot and be in something other than defensive stance when you're opponent drops to 20% health, however even a minimum rage execute is extremely powerful. I use berzerker rage and if I have it battle shout to generate a nice burst of rage (I also have the 5 rage glyph for berzerker rage) for my execute.
Healing is the New Warrior
With access at level 85 to 7.5% healing chance on hit, 20% healing on victory rush, +20% to all self heals, enraged regeneration and 10% healing on stuns warriors are suddenly quite well off in the solo category. If you choose to go the full healing route then your warrior will benefit much more from vengeance since you'll be alive to use it. A warrior getting healed this much will have multiple lives like a paladin and be capable of maybe even stacking vengeance to full in a single fight. You're taking 10% less damage anyway in defensive stance so in a theoretical stunlock from hammer of justice you would get: 12% health + maybe ~9% health and take 10% less damage. I'm not sure if vengeance takes into account defensive stance when calculating the buff but I hope it doesn't! In an arathi basin I went 1vs6 because of self heals (I have the 7.5%, enraged regen and 20% on victory rush). The random person who ran in there with me and then ran back whispered me one word: "woah."
"Woah" is the new prot warrior. Insane defenses, stacking attack power buff coupled with tons of healing, lots of interrupts and stuns... it's going to be a good expansion.
Oh did I mention you get a ridiculous 60 rage on spell reflect and it's only a 6 second cooldown? Lol who needs stance mastery when you have that?
Prot Spec in Arenas
I cannot wait to try vigiliance since it will now stack my vengeance when someone beats on my healer. I don't have this spec in bg's because fights aren't long enough, but in 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 I see this being an amazing talent... now to figure out what to give up in exchange haha. I think I will take one point out of blood craze or second wind. I may actually take 2 points out of bloodcraze to get 2/2 intervene as well. Getting 50% rage boost for attacking someone not hitting me is going to be huge as well. I think prot will actually be BETTER now in arenas than arms at dealing damage hands down thanks to these options.
Another option for getting the needed talent points for vigiliance and intervene would be to remove the points from the stacking thunderclap bonus for shockwave since shockwave really isn't doing that much damage now adays and spamming thunderclap to get the bonus isn't worth it unless you spec into blood and thunder as well. Unless rend sees a big upgrade I don't think I'll be going this route. I'd rather have the burst of heroic strike double crits. See how complicated this can get lol?
Prot Videos
These are my thoughts after only playing a few hours with prot and I'm already discovering new combos which the spec has never been capable of before.
Some videos for you to watch of myself and jhaman owning people in bg's. These are just regular old games taped and processed without editing of any kind.

In the first video what is the name of addon showing procs (big icons) on screen? Does it show cooldown as well?
I use SCT but that one looks nice and I´d love some kinda of big icons for CDs...
Thank you

I too have been playing as prot in BGs since the patch. The effectiveness of being a flag carrier now is amazing combined with a healer. Since the other team will usually focus me and the healer I consistently will get my vengeance fully stacked giving me a ton of attack power. I am surprised that you use thunderstruck as a talent. There seem to be better options right now for prot PVP.
Cory said... October 22, 2010 at 11:45 AM
I absolutely love this write up. I have been following you for about a month and ever since the patch I have been doing BG's in prot, where as before I never even touch PvP with my warrior. A few things, firstly, I am only level 75 on my warrior so I have yet to experience the level 80 cap BG's with all of the talents, although I have the good ones already. I currently have all of the gear sold by the 70 vendor equipped plus some green and blues. I am now saving all of my honor points for when I ding 80, I can try and buy all the best gear, or most of it.
I just wanted to say being a prot warrior in pvp has huge advantages, having such high hp gives you great survivability. I can usually fight my way through a few people at a time. I have done 2 vs 1 and came out still alive.
My warrior is currently sitting at just under 19k hp, and the shield slams, they hit like a truck. I have yet to have this happen again but last weekend in EotS, I hit a 12k SS at level 74. Although I haven't hit that hig again, I am constanlty hitting between 6-8k SS and 4-5K revenge, and when your lucky enough to get a SS then proc Rev and hit another SS right after, there is just no chance for the other player.
Here is my armory for reference if need be, I am respeccing today taking out Blood and Thunder, or at least one, and respeccing 3 points into Incite. Also I will post a link of the build I am working for at 80.
80 Build I am working at...
Again, thanks for the great tips on everything. I went from just under 2k gold to about 20k in a couple of weeks with your help. Although I am down to about 12k now after buying epic flying and gear enchants for my warrior :D
Thanks again!
Cory said... October 22, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Sorry, wrong link on that 80 build...
Here is the correct link...

Those icons etc is the addon, Power Auras. You can set it for all sorts of stuff. I have it set to make sure I have flameshock on my target, a fire totem down, when lavaburst is off cooldown, And when I have >5 orbs on my lightning shield, as well as my cooldowns.
I use it more for PvE but it's handy for PvP too.

Do you use any macros for mortal strike? any good useful ones for stance changes from prot to arms back to prot?

I know this may sound stupid but i've been trying to prot warrior pvp for a while now and i suck bad. When i battle against hordies in pvp i always die. (yeah i know im noob) I can never get those crits from shield slam i dont have a proper rotation. I'm really lost you do these 6k-10k crits and im stuck with 2-3k crits that im not happy with.
i start a battle like this charge-> shockwave->devastate->devastate->devastate->shield slam but by that time im dead.
Anonymous said... December 25, 2010 at 8:49 PM
i dont get why you dont use devastate more often when you have the three stacks applied it does so much damage due to 150% weapon damage plus 300 odd damage per sunder, You get so much damage out of it.

I've been trying to set up a really good pvp protection warrior but I am having a problem trying to figure out which stat is better to focus on. I've read on your article that resilence is major and I believe you, but whats after resilence? I am assuming it's resilence>stamina>hit chance>block. I may have said something really nooby, but my main is a mage. WHat is the best stats I should be aiming for and in what order? (I am a prot warriorlvl 63)
Anonymous said... March 5, 2011 at 12:46 PM
Imo, the stat priority is: Resilience, Strengh, Hit Rating, Stamina, Expertise, then you may add Critical Strike Rating and Mastery.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Zachary Keeting and Christopher Joy visit the studio of painter Marina Adams.
Adams comments: "I don't like to dictate too much, I like to 'allow.' ... [in abstract art] you create a space for thought as opposed to dictating a thought... The work feeds itself; the work leads me along. So in that respect it's very different. There is work where people have an idea and then they fabricate it, and that's one way of working. This work is not produced in that way... I have ideas about things but I do also like to have the work inform me."

David Cohen reviews the exhibition Marina Adams: Coming Thru Strange at Hionas Gallery, New York, on view through March 24, 2013.
Mario Naves posts his catalogue essay for the exhibition Wit, curated by Joanne Freeman, at The Painting Center, New York through February 23, 2013. The exhibition features works by Marina Adams, Polly Apfelbaum, Joanne Freeman, Joe Fyfe, Barbara Gallucci, Phillis Ideal, Jonathan Lasker, Sarah Lutz, Doreen McCarthy, Mario Naves, Thomas Nozkowski, Paul Pagk, Ruth Root, Fran Shalom, and Stephen Westfall.
Naves writes: "Eschewing the purity that was once abstraction's sine qua non, the artists featured in Wit opt for an almost promiscuous inclusivity. No inspiration is suspect. High-flown ambitions–sure, we got 'em; historical cognizance, too. But these artists are also characterized by a willingness to embrace a veritable laundry list of references: nature, narrative, comics, design, technology, science, representation and, not least, humor. Not that humor has been entirely absent from the history of abstract art: Malevich pranked Mona Lisa five years before Duchamp and Mondrian paid winning homage, in oil and canvas, to his beloved boogie-woogie music. Still, abstraction nowadays is more and more a repository of quirks, tics and pictorial double entendres, having as much in common with Buster Keaton, say, as Neo-Plasticism."

Disney layoffs at struggling video game division could number in the hundreds. The layoffs are expected to affect both the interactive and digital media units. According to The Street on Feb. 4, jobs will be shed from social gaming and Disney.com website areas.
Walt Disney's interactive-media unit is preparing to lay off several hundred people despite a strong launch for its videogame "Infinity," according to people close to the company.
Disney layoffs are thought to begin after the company reports earnings on Wednesday after U.S. market's close. The "Infinity" game sales resulted in a $16 million profit last September, turning around a $76 million loss from the previous year. Disney may have spent $200 million per year on the unit over the past five.
The Disney layoffs will affect some of its 3,000 employees in their interactive unit. The division formerly known as Disney Interactive Media Group and Walt Disney Internet Group includes the company's websites, and gaming properties. It was initially formed in 1995 as Disney Online. Another high-profile failure was the Go.com portal, which was launched in 1998 and shuttered in 2001 resulting $878 million in charges.
What do you think about the Disney layoffs story? Please drop in your comments below.

Pesto Latkes
This twist on a classic latke is baked in a muffin tin, avoiding lots of oil for frying. One caveat: There's no standard size for the tins sold in kitchen stores. You'll need a pan with muffin cups that hold about 1/2 cup water. Serve with Pear Cranberry Sauce.Yield: 6 servings, 2 latkes each
Active Time: 35
Total Time: 90
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup pasteurized egg substitute
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Peel potatoes, then grate them through the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Squeeze in small batches between your hands over the sink to remove excess moisture. Then grate onion into the bowl through the same holes in the box grater.
- Stir in garlic, basil, egg substitute, cheese, oil, salt and pepper. Place a generous 1/2 cup of the potato mixture into each muffin cup, packing the mixture firmly.
- Bake the latkes until lightly browned and firm, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before unmolding.
