Meet the all-time American fave - a cinnamon roll. It's a sweet wonder of mine created with dough, cinnamon, sugar, and butter. In the U.S., cinnamon rolls are often iced with vanilla-type frosting. At Lake Tahoe you can find cinnamon rolls pre-made and packaged at the market, at Cinnabon stores, and in a tube to keep refrigerated until you pop it open and whip up the rolls yourself. I chose to combine the tube and home-style method.
Last week while grocery shopping at our friendly Safeway, I stopped by Starbucks and gawked at a sweet cinnamon roll. I almost ordered a few to go with my bag of whole grain bread and pasta, fruits and vegetables. But I pondered: "I can make these at home and add caveman-type fruits and nuts." So, I left the store and was roll-less yet I knew I'd get my cinnamon roll fix sooner than later.
On Wednesday morning I grabbed a pre-packaged tube of cinnamon rolls out of the fridge. At first, I had a brief moment of guilt and thought, "Gosh, on Sunday mornings my mom used to make these puppies from scratch." Then I got a flash of reality and mumbled, "I'd rather work and chill than make homemade dough." So, I compromised and grabbed a mixed-up collection of healthy toppings. I tossed the canned frosting. "I'm going to make my own cream cheese icing," I announced out loud to my best friend, Simon the Brittany with a heart of gold and who still misses his best dog pal. While my dog went to work on a new squeaky bone, it was my job to give these rolls a fresh spin and enjoy them fresh and warm out of the oven.
Semi-Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
1 package tube, refrigerated cinnamon rolls
1 cup (each) raisins, dried cranberries, chocolate chips (60 percent cacao content), walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put round-shaped cinnamon rolls on a nonstick cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. Sprinkle with fruit, chocolate, and/or nuts. Mix it up. Bake for about 12 minutes or till bottom of rolls are golden brown. Drizzle with frosting. Makes 8. Serve warm or freeze.
Real Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cup cream cheese, whipped
2 tablespoons European style butter, melted
1/4 cup organic 2 percent low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
In a bowl, mix butter, cream cheese, and milk with an electric mixer or blender. Add the sugar, extract, and lemon.
OK, so here's the lowdown on my 21st century cinnamon rolls. They may not be as yummy as Cinnabon's delights, but they come close. The melted chocolate and new raisins gave these rolls a nice touch. The add-ons provided plenty of variety. The best part is without doubt the fresh cream cheese frosting with a taste of lemon. I ate one (OK, two) and paired them with a cup of hot chamomile tea. I froze the rest of these cuties to serve with hot coffee (lots of it) on a future cold, winter morning (probably many of them) to wake up to a warm surprise that'll perk me up (and Simon) like cinnamon rolls with a fresh twist.
Motto: Cinnamon rolls are like life. You can grab a quick fix or create something good by yourself with a bit of patience to make it extra special.

To the editor: Enough time has passed for most of us to have gotten a good look at the Mountain Fountain or water feature on the corner of Sixth and Main, the northern gateway to downtown.
Its time to debate and determine whether this is what our community envisioned in this prime location to represent Hendersonville. So far, we have found no one who feels that the structure is an appropriate symbol for the entrance to our city.
With all due respect to the artist, the vision did not work. We suspect the artist didnt specify that the sculpture which resembles a tooth be awkwardly placed on top of drab dull rocks with a trickle of water. Our mayor stated, Whats done is done. We strongly disagree. It can and should be un-done. We challenge the media and city officials to hold discussions regarding this structure. Maybe a voting booth could be set up at the Apple Festival to determine the issue.
We believe it should go! Its $85,000 lost. But consider the more profound impact: It is demoralizing and counterproductive to have something represent our town that is a source of ridicule and embarrassment.

this very good
This is terrible! I can clean out the caches with free Onyx and this app got frozen for about 30 minutes "Cleaning QuickTime caches." Hmm... It seems like (in my opinion) is a waste of money. Onyx is free and better
Paying for this is like hanging yourself. DONT !
There are better AND free apps doing the same and more.
Onyx is designed for your System MAINTENANCE
MacDust is designed for System CLEANING
They are very different apps, anyone who's given it a try can tell you. Onyx is a fantastic tool, but it doesn't come close to what MacDust can do for cleaning up after apps that don't clean up after themselves.
what does this do that the FREE OnyX doesn't? http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
'tis shareware now.
I feel like I should give iusethis people a discount, so if you send me an email saying something about iusethis I'll give you half off ($2.50) on MacDust
the link is broken. here is a working link: http://www.divshare.com/download/639601-8c7

Pope Benedict XVI Thanks Followers in Goodbye Tweet
Pope Benedict XVI famously joined Twitter last year, and now that he's stepping down, he issued a goodbye tweet thanking his many followers.
Thank you for your love and support. May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives.
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) February 28, 2013
The pontiff had been tweeting under the handle @Pontifex.
His tweets had focused, as you might expect, on matters of faith.
If only everyone could experience the joy of being Christian, being loved by God who gave his Son for us!
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) February 27, 2013
His tweets often had a supportive tone, as he sought to bolster the spirits of the faithful in a confusing world full of temptation and opposition.
Many false idols are held up today. For Christians to be faithful, they can't be afraid to go against the current.
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) January 23, 2013
A number of times, he touched on political matters, promoting peace and dialogue as the alternatives to war and misunderstanding.
Please join me in praying for Syria, so that constructive dialogue will replace the horrendous violence.
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) January 7, 2013
The pope's tweets, which were issued in several different languages, didn't always follow the rules of English grammar.
Today I have a special though for every religious: may they always follow Christ faithfully in poverty, chastity and obedience.
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) February 2, 2013
And a few of the messages felt as if they were written by aides to help boost online traffic.
Any suggestions on how to be more prayerful when we are so busy with the demands of work, families and the world?
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) December 12, 2012
Overall, the Twitter feed delivered the message, day after day, that the faithful are not alone: God, the pope, and other members of his flock are always with them. It was a comforting message in the alone-in-a-crowd environment of the Web.
Benedict XVI's first tweet had been:
Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart.
— Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) December 12, 2012

Although warm and dry weather has dominated the coast for the last few weeks, summer is now coming to an end. These dry conditions have had little effect on river and wetland levels, which were above normal thanks to the wet, cool spring. Most wetlands are at normal levels, and are ready for migrating waterfowl that travel along the Pacific Flyway. Farmers in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island are harvesting their crops and planting winter cover crops that will provide food for wintering waterfowl. Many sea ducks are completing their moult off the Fraser River Delta, and are settling into their local wintering sites.
In the central Interior, weather conditions became much dryer and warmer since early August, and precipitation levels were about half of normal. However, wetland water levels were mostly stable at August levels, and habitat conditions are average overall. Migrant ducks have been showing up for the last three weeks, and wetlands are busy with birds again. However, fall flight numbers are expected to be below average due to decreased production in local wetlands and northern areas.
Late summer was relatively dry and warm in the southern and southeast Interior. Wetland conditions are slightly below the long-term average in southern areas, while southeast wetlands are in good shape.
In the Peace region, precipitation levels tailed off in the latter part of the summer, but conditions are still above average for this time of year thanks to heavy summer rains. The agricultural harvest is late by about a month, but crop quantities are higher than they have been in several years. Brood production was lower this year than in 2010. This is likely due to a rapid rise in water levels after heavy rains, which occurred while many ducks, particularly divers, were in the late stages of nest incubation. Surveys also indicated fewer breeding pairs, and the fall flight is not expected to be large. Birds are beginning to stage. There have been no significant northerly weather systems driving migrants south to date, and they are still dispersed across the landscape.
Conditions are generally good in the Whitehorse area of the Yukon. The summer was mild and wet, and all ponds and even large lakes appear full. Early September was windy and rainy, which may have slowed migration. However, one of the earliest-departing species (white-fronted goose) has been on the move, with a flock of almost 8,000 passing through Teslin.
Water levels are relatively good in the Northwest Territories, due to favorable rainfall amounts since the beginning of August. Ducks and geese are migrating, but the fall flight is not at its peak yet. Good numbers of dabblers and divers have been observed. Hunting success on the north arm of Great Slave Lake has not been great, possibly due to low numbers of northern migrants come through. There appear to be fewer wigeons and pintails around than usual, although mallards and green-winged teal are common.
In northern Alberta, Edmonton received significantly less September rainfall than usual. However, conditions are still in relatively good shape given how wet July and August were. Similarly, although Grande Prairie and High Level have also had well-below-normal rainfall as of late September, levels are not dire thanks to favorable summer conditions.
In northern Saskatchewan, conditions have been quite good. Although the early fall has been dry, with a few intermittent rains, water levels are good in most basins of all sizes. Temperatures dipped in early September, with some frost that may have prompted bird movement, but temperatures have since rebounded. Forecasts are calling for well-above-normal temperatures, which may stall migration as birds in the lower Western Boreal Forest stay around to feast on the harvest spoils. Dabblers, divers and geese have all been observed in good numbers, and hunters are reporting good success.
Overall, it has been a warm and wet summer in The Pas region of northern Manitoba. Waterfowl production appeared to be good this year, with the exception of some late or second nests being flooded by the Saskatchewan River in mid July. The fall flight appears to be above average so far. Many field hunters are reporting good numbers of mallards, and large flocks of Canada and snow geese (and some ross' geese) are either in the area or passing through. Temperatures have generally been well above average in August and September, which may be delaying the onset of peak migration through the Saskatchewan River Delta. Much the same conditions exist further north in the Cranberry Portage area, where basins are full and geese have been moving through in good numbers. Thompson had snow in mid September.
Late summer and early fall have been generally warm and dry across the agricultural area of Alberta. In September, precipitation has been well below normal, while daytime temperatures were well above normal. Despite the weather, habitat conditions throughout the province remain the best in years.
In the Prairie, wetland water levels remain above average. Although water levels have declined as a result of the hot, dry weather of late summer, conditions remain very good. A number of wetland projects spilled water throughout the summer. Some field staff say they have witnessed the best breeding conditions in 30 years, noting that there wasn't one area where wetland conditions weren't favorable for production.
In the Aspen Parkland, conditions are very good in the southwest landscapes of Buffalo Lake and Pine Lake, while they are good in the east and north landscapes of Sullivan Lake, Viking Moraine and Cooking Lake. Semi-permanent wetlands remain full, and many seasonal wetlands also continue to hold water. In the Camrose-Viking area, some larger basins such as Beaverhill Lake and Wavy Lake remain well below full.
Similar conditions prevail into the Boreal Transition Zone and Peace Parkland. Parts of the Peace Parkland are rated as excellent. Semi-permanent and permanent basins remain at or near full supply level, and some traditional class three basins still contain water. Crops that were poor as a result of drought last year are now suffering from flooding.
Harvest has been somewhat delayed by late spring seeding and wet summer conditions. The recent warm, dry weather has advanced crop development, and harvest is now underway across the province. Hay harvest is still occurring in a few areas as a result of wet summer conditions. There has been good re-growth on hay fields cut earlier in the season, and pastures remain in good condition going into winter. Upland cover will be in very good condition for next spring.
Early-season hunting reports indicate good numbers of birds in all areas. There should be excellent field and over-water hunting opportunities this year. Evidence of the excellent production year in the Prairie is provided by anecdotal results from northern pintail banding, where over 90 per cent of the birds banded were juveniles. An above-average fall flight is anticipated from Alberta.
Ducks are showing some flocking behaviour, but due to warm temperatures and delayed harvests, many birds are still taking advantage of the abundant wetlands. At this time, there appear to be small groups of ducks on every pond. Canada geese, mallards and northern pintails are beginning to flock as field feeding opportunities open up.
Wetland habitat conditions remain good to excellent across the entire province, and wetland water levels have only begun to go down in the last few weeks. Most permanent and semi-permanent wetlands remain full, while seasonal and temporary wetlands are beginning to dry. The Missouri Coteau and southeast Saskatchewan remain very wet, with the Coteau experiencing some of its best wetland conditions in recent memory. Many of the seasonal and temporary wetlands in the Coteau still have water and most of the larger wetlands are at full capacity. Wetlands in the Touchwood Hills, Thickwood Hills and Allan Hills are also excellent. In addition, it is very wet in the northern portion of the agricultural zone of the province, where DUC staff are still operating projects in the Meadow Lake area, which is unusual for this time of year.
The wet conditions that were present this spring and summer have led to good to excellent waterfowl production across the province. Production extended into late summer because of the excellent wetland conditions, and some late broods are still being observed. Migration appears to be well underway, with Arctic geese and sandhill cranes common across northern and central parts of the province. Ducks are beginning to form large flocks, and are feeding in harvested fields. Hunters are reporting good success in most areas of the province. Given the excellent wetland conditions in spring and summer, the fall southward flight should be excellent.
Since the beginning of September, temperatures have been above normal and there has been very little rain. Due to the warm temperatures, harvest is going extremely well and provincial reports suggest that 60 per cent of the crops have been harvested to date. Harvest is ahead of schedule compared to the long-term average for this time of year. In general, crop yields have been average to above average, depending on the area of the province. Most areas experienced freezing temperatures on September 13, which may have had some impact on those who planted winter wheat.
Since late summer, a prolonged dry period and above-normal temperatures have reduced the effects of the extreme spring flooding. Despite this trend, wetland conditions are still favorable and water levels are more typical for this time of year. Although rainfall has been below average over the past two months, class four wetlands remain flooded well into the vegetation and most class three wetlands also remain wet. Although surface soil conditions are very dry and sun-baked, moisture levels remain favorable beyond the immediate surface.
Field staff have observed the initial stages of migration, with waterfowl flocking and feeding in fields. Following a great waterfowl production year, sportsmen have found ample hunting opportunities in Manitoba this year. Early-season hunters witnessed a large number of blue-winged teals in southwest Manitoba, and the abundance of all species has resulted in mixed bags by the less discretionary hunter. The ever-increasing resident Canada goose population has also provided more than ample opportunity for early-season field hunters.
A cold front that swept through the area around September 13 saw a major exodus of blue-winged teal from the province. This same front coincided with the arrival of large numbers of the cackling Canada geese, as well as small groups of snow geese.
Crop harvest continues to be significantly delayed due to late-maturing crops. This will result in an abundance of food for migrating waterfowl, despite the large number of unseeded acres this spring. A good number of these acres have been sown to winter wheat, which will bode well for nesting birds next spring.
Ontario has continued the trend set in July, with somewhat warmer- and dryer-than-average conditions in August and early September. Fortunately, due to the surplus of water earlier in the breeding season, water levels are still in relatively good condition. The lower Great Lakes are still at average water levels according to the Canadian Hydrographic Service of Environment Canada.
Due to the summer-like weather, many waterfowl are not demonstrating pre-migratory behaviours. Banding results indicate a healthy juvenile-to-adult ratio, confirming an above-average waterfowl production effort throughout the province.
Local Canada goose production exploded across southern Ontario, while numbers from Southern James Bay and Mississippi Valley populations are expected to be average. Early-season goose hunters have generally been very successful this year.
Overall, 2011 waterfowl production has been good, and this fall should provide average to above-average numbers of birds during the fall migration period.
August temperatures were normal or warmer than usual, especially in Montreal, the Eastern Townships and the Ottawa River valley. Since the beginning of September, mean temperatures have been close to normal.
In August, total monthly precipitation was generally abundant for all areas, except the Abitibi region, which experienced its second driest August in the past 60 years. Saguenay and Montreal regions received, respectively, 3 and 2.5 times more precipitation than normal. At the end on the month, post-tropical storm Irene brought 100-150 mm of rain in 24 hours.
At the Sorel Stations, the average St. Lawrence water level remained roughly 40cm higher than normal in August, and climbed quickly after Irene. Both the Ottawa River and St. Lawrence have now returned to normal levels.
Given temperatures and water levels close to normal, the fall flight should be promising. Waterfowl are starting to arrive, and wetlands are in good shape. A good hunting season is anticipated, and the high water level should give hunters easier access. Habitat conditions remain good throughout the province, and are very good in the Ottawa River valley and along the St. Lawrence River plain.
At Bylot Island, temperatures were favorable for a good banding season, with 3,800 greater snow geese banded. This year, the juvenile-to-adult ratio was 1.19, which is similar to last year (1.18) and greater than the long-term average (1.03). The percentage of goslings in the fall flight should be roughly 29 percent, which is very good compared to the average of 22 percent.
This summer was one of the wettest and coolest in recorded history. The entire region experienced its second rainiest July ever, while many areas also had their rainiest August. Temperatures were below long-term averages for most of the summer as well. Floodplains are at or near spring levels, having never lowered to typical summer levels, and water remains in many low-lying areas.
Earlier in the season, banding results confirmed that early-breeding birds were challenged by cold, wet conditions during their incubation periods. Broods were generally smaller than normal, and they appeared at least three weeks later than they did last year. Relentless rains are probably to blame, along with temperatures that dipped below 0 C at nights until mid July. Most banding stations are now reporting below average numbers, but this could be because late broods were less likely to be attracted to bait sites.
More recently, observations of healthier, larger broods suggest that late-nesting and re-nesting birds enjoyed better reproductive success. There continue to be several observations of flightless young. Early northern reports suggest an average reproductive success, and migrants are starting to arrive.
Waterfowl habitat is in good shape thanks to rainfall and reduced evaporation. Though it may not be a great recruitment year for early nesters, this could be balanced by later nesters' success. Overall, habitat conditions are good, though wet and cold.

Do Discontinued Cars Lose Value Faster?
Q: I have a 2006 Subaru Tribeca. When a model is discontinued does the trade-in value go down? I'll most likely get something larger at some point, but I wonder if sooner is better than later.
—Joelle Eneboe, Seattle
A: Discontinued models typically lose more of their trade-in or resale value than vehicles still in production, in part because of the uncertain availability and cost of parts and service. Subaru still sells the Tribeca, though many have speculated production will end.
I wouldn't rush to trade in your vehicle because it isn't likely to fetch a satisfying price whether it remains in production or not. The Tribeca wasn't popular new, so used-car buyers likely won't flock to it. And since your car is outside the two- to five-year-old sweet spot for many buyers, it may be most valuable to you.

The Tacks name is legendary among hockey skates. Boasting a rich history dating all the way back to 1905, we knew any new boot to bear the Tackaberry name would have a lot to live up to. Let us be the first to say, the CCM Tacks 5052 Junior delivers great support, durability, and performance; ideal for the skater that demands more from a boot.
The heart and soul of the Junior Tacks 5052 boot is CCMs new Fiber Reinforced ATTACKFRAME. Comprised of rigid fiber reinforcements in both the heel and eyelet facing, these attack fibers store and release energy as the player flexes forward; and when combined with CCMs Formula T5 Core, the result is a responsive boot with explosive speed.
The new SpeedBlade 4.0 Holder design provides an additional four millimeters of height (when compared to the older E-Pro holder), which allows for a greater angle of attack and more aggressive turns. Complementing the SpeedBlade 4.0 Holder is CCMs SpeedBlade Stainless steel runner, which provides a long lasting edge for long term performance.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Throughout his nearly 95 years of life, William "Bill" Redel had a number of titles: Marine, intelligence officer, firm consultant, professor, poet, friend, husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather.
Friend Jim Mullaney highlighted Redel's multifaceted life Monday afternoon at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, where many family, friends, colleagues, students and locals gathered to pay their respect and share memories of the late Incline resident.
"He was a man whom duty, honor, country was not simply a phrase, but a creed by which to live his life," Mullaney recalled about Redel, who died on Dec. 3, just 10 days before his 95th birthday.
Redel joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1943,
fighting in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War - where he served six tours in the late 1960s - before retiring from military life with numerous decorations and awards in 1977.
In honor of Redel's more than 30 years of service, a two-jet flyover by Marine Corps pilots from Miramar, Calif., opened the memorial service on Monday.
"So Bill's now retired, he's ready to go back to the Big Island (of Hawaii, where he and his wife, Theresa, own a ranch) and lead the life of leisure, right?" Mullaney asked, with Redel's impending retirement in the late 1970s becoming an ongoing lighthearted joke during his speech, issuing laughs from the crowd. "Well, not quite."
For three years during the 1980s, Redel was a consultant to an engineering firm, which was doing work in China to help shore up coal mines there after many mining accidents.
"In his usual inquisitive way, Uncle Bill would always ask us, 'How's work? How are things at work?'" said Margaret Levy, Redel's niece. "And after any one of us would answer, he'd say, 'So what's next for you? You're not going to stay there forever. What's next?'
"Clearly in his mind, one career was nowhere near enough for one life. There's more to do, more to learn and other things to accomplish."
While in the Marine Corps Reserve, Redel returned to Minnesota, his birth place, in 1946 where he completed his bachelor's degree in political science and master's degree in international law, both from the University of Minnesota. He later went on to earn a doctorate degree in international relations from Columbia Pacific University in 1987.
During that time, Redel started his new career as an educator, teaching at institutions such as the U.S. Navy Post-Graduate School, St. Mary's College in Moraga, Calif., and locally at Sierra Nevada College after moving to Incline Village with Theresa Redel in 1989. The courses he taught at SNC included international law, international relations, modern China and classes on indigenous people, Mullaney said.
"You were one of the rocks, you were one of the foundations of what made that college (SNC) what it is today," said friend and colleague Lane Murray, whose voice broke during the beginning of her speech.
While at SNC, Redel founded the college's United Nations chapter, created an International Studies major and the Native American and World's Indigenous People Studies concentration, and established several full scholarships for Native Americans to attend the school.
Mullaney described Redel as a "deeply spiritual man" who developed "his passion and respect for our Native American peoples, their history, culture, spirituality and diversity" back in his birth place.
Redel was born in Minneapolis on Dec. 13, 1917, to a businessman father and a mother, who later went on managed a hotel resort on a Chippewa Indian reservation in Northern Michigan.
"What was so wonderful about Bill was he had strong passion and feelings without prejudice," said friend Barbara Perlman-Whyman. "He was open. He was open to new things. He was open to taking risks, and he was special."
Redel had a love for animals, particularly dogs and wolves, enjoyed playing the piano and having deep discussions, and was an award-winning poet.
Two of Redel's poems were read during the service, but the most emotional moment, causing several in the audience to dab their eyes, came at the end, during a 21-gun salute and flag folding ceremony conducted by Marines. The folded flag was then presented to his daughter, Kristin Oishi.
Redel is predeceased by his wife, Theresa, and dogs Buddy and Bunky. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Kristin and Colin Oishi; granddaughters Nicole Oishi and Larissa (Daniel) Emerson; great granddaughters Chloe, Charlie and Piper; and nieces Mary (Gordon) McChesney and Margaret (Michael) Levy.
"Uncle Bill, we will miss you tremendously, but it's OK, you've done enough," McChesney said. "We love you."

A case of lethal incompetence
In what once was known as the real world, employees who demonstrated incompetence, committed crimes, or exhibited negligence in performing their duties were summarily fired. It was always harder to subject public-sector workers to such harsh sanctions; that was part of the price government managers paid for offering their employees lower wages than comparable private-sector workers received.
But that was before vast hordes of workers began opting for government employment. That was before public-sector unionization, and the increasingly absurd job protections that came with it. And that was before those laboring in at-will jobs in the private sector started to discern that their public-sector counterparts were actually getting superior pay and benefits — 15 percent more, on average, as of 2009 — for less work and lower expectations.

Fraise is an open-source lightweight but very efficient and powerful text editor for Mac OS X 10.6 based on Smultron, originally developed by Peter Borg. It allows you to work on multiple documents at the same time and provides numerous functions to work faster and with more efficiently.
Required OS: 10.6
Tags: texteditor , htmleditor , editor , smultron , programming , development , php
14 Opinions
Smultron is being developed again. Snow Leopard version released.
@a2co - Maybe Textmate is the answer if you have money. If you don't, Fraise is certainly one of the best options out there.
using it since I was a Smultron user since I got my 1st mac in 2006
I've gone back to Smultron and BBEdit. I had some regression issues with Fraise, including strange resizing of the window, and issues with live editing through Transmit. Still hoping to see the project continue, and will try it again when there is a new version.
@brh i actually really liked smulton.. thus the excitement. regarding some other open source alternative, i have yet to find one that does what i want like smultron did. nice try, though.
@bikefridaywalter - As a fellow vim user, I don't think you genuinely had any intent to switch to this anyway! Who, satisfied with a command-based, modal text editor is going to switch to a GUI-driven, modeless editor except, oh wait! It's 10.6 only! If you really wanted a GUI-driven, modeless editorâ¦Â Well, there are plenty of others out there, you'd already be using one!
Plugin support is already being discussed, and hopefully this will branch out to better syntax definition support as wellâ¦
I'll try to say something constructive here - I, too, am a MacVim user, and while I doubt I would ever switch to a modeless, GUI-driven editor like Fraise, I always check out the new players. Smultron is, of course, an old player, but was always a solid offering - the day development ceased was a sad day for Mac users. But now a new day has come, Fraise seems to be in competent hands, and hopefully development will stay on track for one of the best free editors for the Mac.
i was so excited.. until i saw the 10.6 requirement. oh well, macvim it is.
Amazing! So glad someone picked this up and using the french name for Strawberry is adorable! You also switched the icon back to an older one that I was sad to see leave when Peter changed it back in the day.
Several important bugs seem to have been fixed in the current version compared to the latest Smultron, namely "View document in seperate window" and the whole split window system, both of which were completely broken for me in Smultron (I just learned to live without them).
I'll keep using NetBeans IDE for PHP cause its so insanely powerful, but I'm very glad to see that Fraise will be there to take care of little files that come up now and then.
* Add ; at end of current line with CMD+; (see textmate for an example, its so useful).
* Autocomplete quotes similar to braces (' and ")
great to see smultron/fraise find a new home.

What's better than feasting on fresh fruit and vegetables handpicked right from your very own organic garden? According to the National Gardening Association (NGA), 80 million U.S. households (that's three out of four!) participated in at least one type of lawn and garden activity annually for the last five years.
With all that growing going on, you can't help but wonder just how much of it is sustainable. "Anytime you introduce a foreign substance into an ecosystem, it can throw a wrench in the works. Chemical pesticides and fertilizers are foreign substances that start altering the garden ecosystem the moment they are applied," says Jessica Walliser, co-author of Grow Organic.
Many have heard of commercial farms using organic growing methods, but these methods can be applied to the lawns and gardens of individual homeowners and apartment dwellers as well.
The easiest way to enjoy your growing experiences and support a sustainable planet at the same time is to grow organically.
What exactly is organic gardening?
Many debate the difference between using fewer chemicals and no chemicals, but one thing about organic gardening is clear: strong soil. "[Organic gardening] means building up the soil through compost and mulch. The heart of organics is healthy soil," says Jeff Gillman, Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota and author of The Truth About Organic Gardening. "The key is to build the soil up by adding organic matter [i.e. leaves, newspaper; anything that can be composted or will decay] each year. When the soil is fertile, plants will outgrow just about anything," says Walliser's co-author Doug Oster.
No matter what you plan on growing, you'll likely be investing in fertilizers, weed control and pest control to help your plants develop strong and healthy – but are the organic versions of these products as effective as the conventional, chemical-laden ones?
"Organic fertilizers are more effective in the long run; less effective in the short run, " says organic gardening coach, writer and blogger Susan Harris. "Natural pest and weed products are definitely not as effective as the synthetic crap, which is why people have to get used to imperfection in their plants and lawns."
Walliser had this to add: "The key to this is to understand that there is a transition process involved. Not only is there a learning curve for the gardener, but there's a junkie-issue for the plants themselves. You almost have to think of it as weaning your plants off 'drugs.'" This process can take anywhere from three months to three years, depending on the size of your garden and use of chemicals.
Oster says that it's worth the time and effort to wean your plants off chemical products. "There are lots of studies out there telling us that exposure to many garden chemicals is harmful to our health and adversely affects the environment."
Books and websites about organic and sustainable gardening techniques continue to flourish. Don't know where to start? Try these expert tips for growing lawns, flowers and food organically.
1. "Cut your grass high. By setting your mower blades to a height of 3-3½ inches, you'll be allowing your turf to develop a more extensive root system, thereby reducing the need to water and fertilize. Deep, healthy roots enable the plants to access more of their own nutrients. Conventionally grown grass will have a root system measuring only 3 inches deep; the roots of an organic lawn will reach down 2-3 feet!" – Jessica Walliser
2. "Use compost, add clover, and leave your grass clippings on the lawn." – Susan Harris
(Note: By adding these natural sources of nitrogen to your lawn, you will not only enhance the quality of the soil, thanks to adding trace elements you don't ordinarily find in commercial fertilizers, but also the health of your overall lawn.)
3. "Choose your grass wisely. A big part of organic lawns/gardens is selecting appropriate plants for the conditions. When you plant the most appropriate grasses and plants for your conditions you have fewer problems with disease, insects and weeds." – Jeff Gillman
1. "Use organic mulch religiously, keeping a good two inches of mulch around your plants and replenishing the mulch as needed -- depending on how fast the kind you use decomposes. And water correctly so as not to induce drought-stress." – Susan Harris
(Note: Most plants need to be watered daily, which is best to do in the morning so you don't risk the moisture being absorbed by the mid-day sun. Some plants, labeled as "drought-resistant," need to be watered only weekly or even monthly.)
2. "Follow good cultural practices. Prune plants at the right time of year (what that time is depends on the plant), water in the morning, keep the garden free of debris, stake or trellis taller plants, space plants properly and try not to work in a wet garden (this can spread disease and lead to soil compaction). It's all those smart little things we can do to create a good environment for our plants." – Jessica Walliser
3. "Promote biodiversity. Grow a lot of different plants; that way if a pest does strike, only a few plants will be susceptible. And, even if something fails, your garden will still be beautiful. Planting many different types of flowers will lead to an increase in the variety of pollinators in your garden as well as the number of beneficial predatory insects there." – Jessica Walliser
Fruits and Vegetables
1. "Choose your fruits and veggies wisely. A big part of organic gardens is selecting appropriate plants for your local conditions. When you plant the most appropriate foods for your conditions, you have fewer problems with disease, insects and weeds." – Jeff Gillman
(Note: Check out the National Gardening Association's Zone Finder for details on your local growing zone and appropriate plants.)
2. "Use preventive measures like floating row covers [available at Gardens Alive] to deter pests like cabbageworms, cucumber beetles, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles and many other common pests. Paperboard collars [similar to a paper towel tube wrapped around the base of a plant] will help deter cutworms; aluminum foil collars [same as the paperboard collars, except made of aluminum foil] deter squash vine borers; and pheromone traps [uses a scent similar to the female of the species to attract the male and keep them from mating] and/or sticky traps help control pests in the orchard." – Jessica Walliser
3. "Mulch properly. Using straw, hay, mushroom soil, untreated grass clippings, leaf compost, or even newspaper to mulch the vegetable garden cuts down on watering and weeding. When those materials are turned into the garden the following spring, they'll help add even more organic matter into the soil." – Jessica Walliser

Tiki taka is poo
Having watched Barca destroy Milan, I realised how rubbish tiki-taka is, and how easy it is to play against when you're set up to counter-attack. I think Rodgers is a dope for trying to 'copy' these methods of possession and pass and move, and we need to mix it up more with more balls lumped forward. In fact, I want Allardyce as manager and for us to switch to percentage football with a huge battering ram up front - I am convinced it will play dividends. I think our 20 odd goals scored to 2 conceded in the last few games show me we're really not progressing how we should be!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

You want a manager famed for long ball tactics as our manager? Shakes head !!1

Armchair - I've missed you my boy - its good to see that you still haven't looked up the word 'irony' in the dictionary!
Loki...ok I hold my hand up...I cant say fairer than that can I. Watched Barca last night at their majestic best...unbeatable. BUT...what I stated in my posts was nothing like what u are admittedly in something of a wind-up posting here. I have never posted up that TIKI TAKA was a rubbish tactic I simply stated as the title of the thread stated that it was in its "death throes." Why ? Because as u well know Barca do not play like they played last night all the time, last night was the peak of their game. All I was stating was that imo it has run its course as a tactic that a side can employ to the exclusion of all other alternatives. Why ? Because far too many coaches have tippled to how to generally combat it effectively. Also Tiki Taka is NOT pass and move...it can be when played to perfection but we HAD been playing pass to the nearest red shirt to deny the opposition possession the MOVE part for much of the season has seemed absent.
Also if u can find a post Ive put up that states we "We need to mix it up more with more balls lumped forward." I will then readily hold my hand up again BUT please dont give me all the malarkey of " Well..you certainly "implied" as much." Ive already gone through all that refuting the "implied" nonesense on other posts here no need to rehash any of that. Simply put I "implied" nothing; what occurred was u placed your "interpretation" on what I stated in my posts and subsequently in u responses attempted to "imply" that what u had interpreted from my post is what I had actually stated. What I have been wanting to see is the MOVE side of PASS AND MOVE incorporated more into our game and stated that I wish the players we actually have who are capable of "showing" the ball to a defender then actually taking him on and by beating him temporarily taking him out of the game and therefrore technically speaking leaving one of your own players unmarked is what I have meant by "mixing up the playbook" btw read up on the legend of Stanley Mathews to understand the concept of "showing the ball". Stuart Downing has been masterful recently in doing just this thing and is the reason imo that we are starting to see what Kenny saw in him when he was bought. Couhtino , encouragingly looks like another along with Suarez capable of showing the ball tooand is doing so already its what denotes talent...I can take mediocre players and make a good team out of them if they play the tactics to perfection what I cant do is instill natural talent the kind of gift George Best Suarez Messi Maradonna Stan Mathews Pele and many many more were gifted with and when u have that kind of player on your books u should make sure they stay there ! Mediocre players to play to a "system" u can find anywhere.
Football is a strange game on the day anybody can beat anybody ( Oldham Athletic @ Boundary Park FA CUP ring any bells ?) Thats why there are bookies on every street corner. BUT dont want to take anything away from Barca they were absolutely SUPERB last night !

Judging by the Tolstoy-esque length of that post I must have hit a raw nerve there eh Col? I was just taking the p!ss Colin, I respect your opinions greatly. It's no good anyone agreeing all the time is it?
I think this was due after Colin's berating of them lately. I swear we have stopped playing that way recently and seem a little more offensive and direct. Gerrard seems to be hollywood every pass but they all are coming off, whatevers happening, I like it!
Cheeky post!
It's an awful way to play. They even mixed it up a little with passes in excess of 10 yards, especially in the first half hour.
On a serious note, they play so high they are open to the counter attack.
One thing that did really stand out for me last night was when they lose possession the speed at which they hunt down the ball and regain possession was frightening. I lost count of how many times they tackled or forced an error from Milan in the last third of the pitch. It lead to Messi's two goals in fact. When they had possession they actually slowed the game down and were actually resting! They lifted the pace of the game when defending!
For me there's a lot we can take from it. Defend hard, fast and press hard from the front. Squeeze the game but have pace at the back. Be patient when in possession but for me I think it would be a little difficult to mirror Barca exactly here. Tinker the tactics to suit the abilities in the squad. I also like to stretch teams out wide.
Oh isn't that what we're trying to do?
- 1 Reply to Colyn
Colyn ..good post agre with u entirely...it was phenomenal how quickly they regained possession last night they were superb playing at their peak. I believe against Spurs though the other day I saw a lot of the same intent in our lads. Have a read of my post in response to Loki's here ...I hold my hand up for what I said about Barca but think u will know what my thinking is if u read that post in response to Loki's. GREAT entertainment last night though...football at its best.

- 49ers' toughest task: Facing Seattle Seahawks' noisy crowd
- Harbaugh the horse struggles in California Derby
- San Francisco 49ers fans' voices heard in Seattle
- Purdy: 49ers versus Seahawks will be violence unleashed
- Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson: Expert opinions
- Thompson: NFC trash-talk championship favors 49ers
SANTA CLARA -- Jim Harbaugh had one last thing pop into his mind, just in time Friday, at the very end of his last news conference of a very long week.
Harbaugh spied Colin Kaepernick nearby, and maybe the 49ers coach immediately pictured all that was coming for the 49ers in Sunday's climactic NFC Championship game in Seattle.
"You guys love that commercial with Colin? The headphones?" Harbaugh said, referring to the Beats By Dre ad featuring a dramatized version of Kaepernick riding a team bus through a sea of angry people who look a lot like Seahawks fans.
"I love it. I absolutely love it."
Is it like that when you guys ride to a road game?
"It's somewhat like that, yeah, definitely," Harbaugh said. "You're riding in, the fans are all out there, sometimes they're the way they are in the video. And the song is such a toe-tapper. ... I get the chills on that one.
"I'm going to get some Beats By Dre. I am sold. That commercial has sold me!"
OK, I'm not going to say that Harbaugh's mob-scene soliloquy is what convinced me that the 49ers are going to win this game
Kaepernick didn't take it too seriously, either -- he just chuckled at his coach's rave, told Harbaugh he had a pair of headphones waiting for him, then walked up to the podium.
But Harbaugh's loose vibe and clear and eager evocation of the potential cacophony ahead definitely helped crystallize things for me.
The 49ers are going to put the headphones on. Buckle down. Then, under fire, they'll go play.
The 49ers need to feel threatened and aggrieved to win this game; they need to feel like they have nothing to lose, as they face the storm.
Cue: Harbaugh, the last spontaneous thought in his head, and the rallying of the 49ers into Seattle.
The previous two postseasons, the 49ers have been upended by lower-seeded teams who got hot. This time, I think they're the red-hot team ... and Seattle is the not-hot team.
"Unless I've drastically misread our team," Harbaugh said, "we're ready to play."
The 49ers weren't ready for the Seattle crucible the last two times they went there. Though the 49ers defense more than held its own, the turnovers on offense wiped them out.
But the 49ers are ready now, because they're better now.
They're healthier, they're more confident, they're riding an eight-game winning streak (that included a 19-17 victory over Seattle at Candlestick).
And everything the 49ers have endured this season has pushed them to this place.
"I just think we're playing better football (than the Week 2 blowout loss at CenturyLink)," defensive lineman Justin Smith said.
"Defensively, we've done pretty well against them. The last time we went up there, we kind of lost it in the fourth quarter, but we're not too worried about that. We know what we have to do."
Somehow, some way, the 49ers haven't lost energy by traveling to Green Bay and then to Charlotte and now to Seattle, while the Seahawks have only had to win one home game to get to this point.
By the way, the Seahawks aren't playing very well -- they were outgained 409-277 in their divisional-round victory over New Orleans, and they went 2-2 to close the regular season, including their first loss at home (to Arizona) since the 2011 season.
The 49ers can slow down tailback Marshawn Lynch, and they would love to force quarterback Russell Wilson try to beat them through the air.
I'm not sure Seattle can completely stop Frank Gore, and if they do, I think Kaepernick can beat them, too.
Of course, it will be a close game -- this bitter rivalry demands that. Of course, one play could turn this game at any point.
The 49ers can't get behind and let the Seahawks crowd take over, and I don't think they will. They can't turn it over early, and I don't think they will.
The 49ers are ready for this because they live for this stuff -- oh, and also because they're the superior team and have proved that the past two weeks.
No matter how loud it gets at CenturyLink or how much abuse they take on the way there ...
Except Kaepernick admitted Friday that the 49ers actually don't get much razzing when they drive into the Seattle stadium.
"We pull in through the back," Kaepernick said, "so we really don't see too much."
Oh well. It's still a good image, and one that Harbaugh obviously wanted his team to embrace and use as prime motivation in this titanic game.
I think they will essentially play even through the first half, the 49ers will crawl ahead in the third quarter on a big play by Anquan Boldin, and then they'll have to hold on.
They're good at that. They're ready for this.
Prediction: 49ers 17, Seattle 16.

Mike has a funny fill in Chalkdust. YEM has a rough begining but turns out good. Nice vocal jam as always. Reba and Landlady are fine. NICU still has the weird middle section. Listen close before the start, Trey asks "Is that too fast?" Fish gives the crowd a choice of songs tonight. Then the self titled third greatest song writer in the world gets a My Sweet One going. Golgi sounds a little out of tune on Trey's part.
Memories and Adeline are missing from the bootleg.
Rocky Top is great as usual.
Great soundboard recording for 1992. I love that you can hear Trey calling out songs and laughter in between.

With the support of the Crocker Police Department, the City Council approved a newly created position of School Resource Officer for the Crocker schools.
The position will be a commissioned police officer whose primary responsibility is at the Crocker schools.
"This position will allow for a safer school and will also allow us to start programs such as drug/ alcohol prevention and Eddie the Eagle gun safety programs for the youth," Crocker Police Chief Chris Twitchel said.
Twitchel said that the police department has been planning this for a while, but in the wake of the recent school tragedies, thought now would be the best time to implement the position.
"We understand that we are the first of the smaller rural schools to do this, but we feel that it is time to be proactive and not reactive. Our ultimate goal of this position is a safe learning environment where students can focus on learning not fear and to build a stronger, safer community."
Twitchel said that the position will allow the police department to be involved with the youth on a positive basis.
The Crocker Police Department is now taking applications for the position until Feb. 13. Interested applicants must be POST certified in the state of Missouri, with a clean background, good moral standings, and preferably with prior experience.

Audio: Partial 911 call in Leila Fowler murder
SAN ANDREAS – The 12-year-old defendant, in a blue-gray jumpsuit and with closely cropped hair, told a judge this morning he understood the charges he was facing and understood his rights.
The boy is facing charges of murder in the stabbing death earlier this month of his sister, 8-year-old Leila Fowler. The charge read in court was murder with malice aforethought.
His family packed the front row as the judge asked the defendant the series of questions. His lawyers, Mark Reichel and Steve Plesser, asked the judge to close the courtroom, which was packed with media and onlookers, to be closed to further proceedings. Judge John E. Martin denied the motion but did ban cameras.
It took less than 15 minutes for the whole proceeding. The defendant will be in custody until his next court date, May 29, when his detention hearing will begin.

NFL: What to Do With Tim Tebow?
Now that Peyton Manning appears to have settled on a new team – ESPN reports he will begin contract negotiations with the Denver Broncos – the next question becomes: What happens to Tim Tebow?
Tebow won Denver's starting quarterback job in 2011 after dramatically leading the once dead-in-the-water club to an AFC West title and a first-round playoff victory despite his unconventional mechanics and playing style. Yet he clearly would be forced out of that role if and when Manning, a four-time MVP and arguably the greatest signal caller of his generation, officially signs with Denver.
Tebow, for all the success and popularity he got as a first-year starting quarterback, was a statistical disaster. He completed less than 47% of his throws, the lowest rate of any NFL starter last season. But he became known for his "Tebow Time" performances, in which he'd play poorly from the opening of the game until the third quarter, yet transform and perform brilliantly in the final moments and lead the Broncos to a last-minute win.
While Denver could keep both quarterbacks on the roster, it's fair to question whether Tebow, who played in a simplified offensive scheme, would really benefit enormously from playing behind Manning, who is his polar opposite as a passer. And for that reason, it seems likely that the Broncos trade the 24-year-old to a club that's willing to develop and polish him into a more solid passer.
Tebow is heading into Year Three of his five-year, $11.25-million rookie contract, which is far from a liability as far as deals go. Still, a personnel executive from one NFL team said Tebow's trade value would be "lower than that of an average starting quarterback" — perhaps a fourth-round pick or two in the upcoming NFL draft — largely because his situation in Denver was unique and "nearly ideal." (One reason for Denver to hedge: Manning's camp told at least one league owner recently that the quarterback was only 85% recovered from the neck injury that forced him to miss all of 2011 for Indianapolis. Manning also turns 36 this week.)
Aside from Denver's impressive defense and strong-legged kicker — both of which kept them in games throughout the season despite a lackluster offense — the person cited Broncos coach John Fox and how he decided to blow up the team's offensive playbook. Doing so allowed Tebow to run a college-football-like scheme that catered to his strengths. That'll hardly be automatic wherever he goes next.
Speculation concerning Tebow's future always centers on Jacksonville (Tebow's hometown), which is close to where the quarterback compiled his legendary college career at the University of Florida and could benefit from whatever jolt he'd give the downtrodden franchise at the box office. (The Jags did just sign free-agent quarterback Chad Henne, who would seem to have a decent shot at displacing 22-year-old Blaine Gabbert for the starting job. But most locals would happily leave either of those guys at the altar for Tebow.)
Beyond that, it's unclear where, if anywhere, he might garner another immediate chance to start. He'd be an ideal back-up behind Michael Vick in Philadelphia. But as a starter? The Jaguars are really the only team that makes sense.
