A gentle giant of a man, Charles "Skip" Turner stoops to pluck a wayward weed from the bevy of beauties before him. It's early morning at Columbus Park of Roses, a fragrant sea of floral magnificence located only five minutes from the bustling Ohio State University campus.
For the 6-foot-tall vice president of Columbus' four-hospital Mt. Carmel Health System, it's his favorite part of the day, a period that Turner, who's been a volunteer at the park for 25 years, sees as the ultimate stress-buster: a time to stop and smell the roses - no small feat since that means meandering down the paths that flank the 11,000 rose bushes planted throughout the park's 13 acres.
"This is my time," he says, "when the dew is still on the roses and they are most fragrant."
The park has served as a peaceful oasis to locals and out-of-towners alike since its grand opening in June 1953. Although the grounds also feature gardens filled with herbs, daffodils and perennials, the roses are clearly the main attraction: So much so that the park was included on USA Today's 2006 international list of "10 places to admire the bloom on the rose," ranked with Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Kent, United Kingdom, and the La Roseraie de l'Hay du Val de Marne near Paris.
Backyard gardeners come here to dream about the possibilities (which is easy to do since the park features only plants that will survive in our climate) or preview the as-yet-unnamed All-America Rose Selections that are given a trial run in the test garden before making their national debut the following year.
"The AARS sends us two to four new rose varieties to plant each year," Turner says proudly. "We're strongly discouraged from identifying them as being society selections, but people can actually see them for the first time. However, if the bed does terribly, we don't replant them. We say, 'OK. Gone.' The fact that they are an All-America selection doesn't mean they will do well in Ohio." (His favorite from this year's crop, Strike It Rich, a hybrid tea rose with a vibrant yellow hue and spicy fragrance, passed with flying colors.)
But sight and scent are not the only attractions here. Turner enthralls groups of visitors with stories about the people and places behind the posies: how Crusaders returning to Europe during the Middle Ages brought not only tales of valor from Damascus, but also the flower that the world would come to call the Damask Rose, valued by growers for its numerous buds and by perfumers for its intense scent. How during the Gay '90s - long before the long-stemmed hybrid tea came into fashion as the symbol of fidelity - financier and snappy dresser "Diamond" Jim Brady would present his favorite Gibson Girl with an American Beauty, known for its heavy, cloying aroma.
"And you can imagine how kids just love to hear about the War of the Roses, something we've all studied in school," says Turner, offering background information about the series of conflicts waged over the throne of England between the Lancasters, whose family shield bore a red rose (Rosa Gallica Officinalis), and the Yorks, who sported a crest emblazoned with a white one (Rosa Alba). "There they are, smell 'em," he'll always suggest to students' wide-eyed amazement, pointing to the bed a group has gathered around during a field trip.
And although they smell wonderful, the nearby yellow Rosa Foetida does not. The name is related to the word fetid, and it's easy to see why, since one whiff brings with it the image of rotting meat.
At home in Bexley, Turner's passion for antique roses is reflected in his backyard garden, replete with magenta-pink Zéphirine Bourbon roses and New Dawn, the first plant ever to receive a patent. As he lovingly mulches and prunes, Turner explains why their allure is irresistible.
"Roses have always been the most popular flower of human beings," Turner muses. "If you look in Neanderthal graves, there will probably be roses there. There is no other plant or flower that has so much romance and history attached to it."

Columbus Rose Festival, June 9 and 10, at the Columbus Park of Roses, spotlights preservation of plants and the environment.
1. Preference: "People see roses in catalogs and say, 'Oh, wow. This looks like a wonderful rose. And yes, it does," Turner says. "But since it was grown in Texas, it may not live through next winter. So be sure to choose varieties that will do well in our climate. Shrub roses as a family are the hardiest." (Those whose thumbs are not green will want to visit the Park of Roses' new no-maintenance Earth-Friendly Garden debuting at the Columbus Rose Festival.)
2. Purchase: At the nursery, keep in mind that all roses are not created equal. Read the label to understand the characteristics of the ones for sale. "One might only grow 3 feet high, and the one [placed] next to it might eventually reach 10 feet high," Turner says. "Know what you're buying."
3. Plant: Roses need to breathe. Planting them too close together can lead to the formation of powdery mildew. Follow spacing requirements indicated on the plant label.
4. Preservation: "Roses like to have a lot of water, but they don't like to have wet feet," Turner says. It's best to thoroughly water bushes twice a week, and allow for drainage. Roses need sun and plenty of it, at least six hours per day.
5. Prune: Sometime after the first hard frost, cut back rose plants to about 24 inches. This makes them easier to work with and prevents damage from wind and ice.

MELBOURNE, Australia
Victoria Azarenka will have 48 hours to calm her nerves, rest her body and move past a center-court controversy before she returns to defend her Australian Open title.
Her opponent is an emotionally and physically fresher Li Na, the 2011 French Open champion.
Both women used the word �hungry� to describe how much they want to win their second Grand Slam title. Both say their goal is to keep cool and not let their emotions get the best of them on the big day.
In that respect, the sixth-seeded Li enters the final with an advantage.
The 30-year-old is in top physical form and making a Grand Slam comeback. After becoming the first Chinese tennis player to win a major in 2011, she hit a slump. But she hired Justine Henin�s former coach six months ago, and the partnership has produced rapid results.
Li charged into the semifinals at the Australian Open without dropping a set. As a result, she will return to the top five after beating No. 4-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarterfinals.
She needed just 93 minutes Thursday to power past No. 2 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2. She then charmed an adoring crowd by cracking jokes during an on-court interview. She kidded about her husband�s snoring, her attempts to lose weight and the tough training by coach Carlos Rodriguez � before turning to the stands to thank him.
�You don�t need to push me anymore. I will push myself,� she told Rodriguez, who helped Henin win seven majors and seems to have a knack for guiding players past their nerves.
�I don�t know what happened (Thursday),� Li said later. �I just came to the court feeling like, �OK, just do it!��
A similar slogan carried over into Azarenka�s semifinal, where her rap star friend Redfoo sat in the stands cheering her on in a T-shirt that read: �Let�s Do It.�
The confident and big-hitting Azarenka also advanced in straight sets, beating American teenager Sloane Stephens 6-1, 6-4. But the victory was packed with drama and ended with the top-ranked player defending herself against accusations of gamesmanship by leaving the court for a medical timeout.
Serving for the match at 5-3, the 23-year-old Azarenka wasted five match points, lost her serve � then called a timeout. She sat with a trainer and left the court during a nine-minute medical break. She returned to close out the match by breaking Stephens� serve.
But she raised suspicion during her interview on center court.
�Well, I almost did the choke of the year,� a relieved Azarenka said to the crowd. �I just felt a little bit overwhelmed. I realized I�m one step away from the final, and nerves got into me for sure.
�I love to play here, and I just couldn�t lose; that�s why I was so upset.�
Azarenka, who has a history of on-court tantrums, didn�t help herself in a television interview after the match.
�I couldn�t breathe. I had chest pains,� she said when asked why she left the court. �It was like I was getting a heart attack.�
After surviving her semifinal, Azarenka had a postmatch news conference where she said she was dealing with a rib injury that made it hard to breathe. She said her earlier comments were a misunderstanding.
Australian Open officials said the tournament doctor reported that Azarenka had left knee and rib injuries.
�Right now, I just need to calm down with the whole situation (and) make sure that my body�s right,� Azarenka said.
If the reaction at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday was any indication, the crowd favorite for the final is Li � who won over a lot of fans in her match and perhaps even more as a result of Azarenka�s situation.
Australian crowds love their defending champions but dislike any whiff of bad sportsmanship. Accusations against Azarenka immediately surged through social media platforms.
By reaching the final, Azarenka retains her No. 1 ranking but has said that�s not her focus.
�I�m really hungry to defend my title,� she said. �That is my first goal... to win the tournament.�
If she masters her jitters and comes into the final focused, Li will have a tough fight.
Azarenka leads 5-4 in career matches, including the last four times they�ve played. However, Li has a better record at Grand Slam tournaments.
�What should I worry about?� Li said when asked if she was nervous for the match. �I was working so hard in winter training. I think now everything is coming back to me.�
On the day of the final, here�s her plan: �I come to the court, take my racket, and enjoy the tennis.�

Are there any guidelines on how to use Retry policies or ReliableSqlConnection with nhibernate?
Thanks, Meisam.
Hi Meisam, thank you for the question. We don't have anything specific for NHibernate, but maybe this link for EF can point you in the right direction.
I am not too familiar with NHibernate, but I will do some asking around and see if they are similar enough that the approach for EF can be used and adapted for NHibernate.
Thanks Scott.
Your comments on this issue is much appreciated.
Great episode, nice extreme tripling!

Easy Fit Truck Cover is Exactly That!
Reviewed By Richard G (Heath, TX) Reviewed for a 2015 Chevy Silverado —4/20/2016 11:07 AM
This Rampage EasyFit cover fits amazing well and is super easy to put on and take off. It takes less than a minute to cover the cab section by myself. We bought it for rain and light hail protection. I wanted to be able to throw something on quickly. It has a sturdy elastic band around the bottom that keeps it snug through the wind and rain. I'll likely buy the bed piece now.

This forum was a different place before she started getting vocal and preachy and patronising. I agree with what others have said, her and another similar member,mentioned above too, effectively drove a number of people away because they couldn't stand it. I left for most of a year too. I am lucky enough to be in contact with most of those people in real life but it is a real shame, this forum was great when it was more-- even.
As for what is wrong? Turf war. She does seem to think this forum is her own, so she is pissed you have a voice and others listen. She probably assumed you would just back down when she declared she didn't like your input because you were exposing flaws in her reasoning. Hard to maintain smug superiority and patronise others when you are exposed!I think she has lost a lot of credibility.
Nice to finally see someone stand up to her!
I like your style James. I will be following what you post.

on February 2, 2013 - 10:48 PM
LOCKPORT – William J. Barnes Jr., the Lockport man who killed his girlfriend and her lover in 1986, will be granted a hearing on his latest effort to overturn the verdict – even though the judge thinks he doesn't have much of a case.
Barnes, 50, is serving a sentence of 50 years to life in Wende Correctional Facility, Alden.
Counting failed appeals of his rejected motions, this will be his ninth attempt to reverse his conviction on two counts of second-degree murder, voted by a Niagara County Court jury in January 1987.
This time, Barnes is using a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision to try to convince Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas to overturn his conviction.
The high court ruled last year in a Missouri case that a conviction must be overturned if a defendant's lawyer doesn't tell him of a pretrial plea offer that the defendant and the judge would have accepted.
Barnes insists that his attorneys from the county public defender's office, Joseph L. Leone Jr. and the late Robert A. Rotundo, never told him of a plea offer for a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
Barnes went to trial, was convicted of two counts of murder, and was sentenced by then-County Judge Aldo L. DiFlorio to two consecutive terms of 25 years to life.
In an order earlier this month, Farkas directed that an attorney be appointed to represent Barnes and that a hearing should be held on the issue of what Leone did or didn't tell Barnes 26½ years ago.
Farkas wrote that Barnes' claims are "unsupported by the evidence" and normally, she wouldn't grant a hearing.
"However, out of an abundance of caution, due to the holding in Missouri v. Frye, and because there has been no further decision illuminating this court's responsibilities with regard to the defendant's allegation, this court will grant a hearing exclusively on this issue," Farkas wrote.
The hearing is to be held Feb. 11, with Dominic Saraceno of the county conflict defender's office representing Barnes.
Court minutes confirm a plea deal, including a sentence of 25 years to life, was offered by then-First Assistant District Attorney Stephen A. Shierling in an Aug. 11, 1986, pretrial conference. No stenographer was present, and apparently Barnes wasn't, either.
Barnes wrote in a letter to Leone on Sept. 4, 1986, "Can you tell the judge and DA that I'm willing to cop out to manslaughter – and if they won't go for that, tell them I'll take anything as long as it is not more than 25 to life, OK?"
Leone has previously testified that he told Barnes of the offer and advised him to take it, but Barnes turned it down. Leone made the same statement in an interview with The Buffalo News last fall.
But Barnes asserts that at a Sept. 11, 1986, court appearance, Leone told him there was no plea offer.
Barnes admits he killed his live-in girlfriend, Irene L. Bucher, 21, formerly of Pendleton, and William R. Moffitt, 35, of Somerset.
Both were shot twice with a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, about 9 p.m. Jan. 7, 1986, when Barnes caught them having sex on the floor in front of the couch in Barnes' apartment at 503 Park Ave., Lockport.
Barnes, who said he had been drinking heavily that day, claimed that he and Moffitt struggled over the shotgun, which accidentally discharged, striking Bucher. He said he then shot Moffitt twice in a fit of rage before shooting Bucher again.
But the girlfriend of Barnes' brother testified that Barnes told her that he shot Moffitt, then shot Bucher twice, then shot Moffitt again. However, the sequence of events will not be at issue in the Feb. 11 hearing.
If Barnes had taken the plea offer he says Leone concealed from him, he would have been eligible for a parole hearing in 2010. As things now stand, he isn't eligible for a hearing until 2035, when he will be 73.
"I have a death sentence. I'm going to die in prison," Barnes told The News on Nov. 12.
Barnes appealed his conviction, which was upheld by the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in 1991. The Court of Appeals refused to take the case.
In 1997, Barnes handed in a motion to overturn the verdict, which was turned down twice, in 2000 and 2001, by Acting County Judge Robert C. Noonan. His motion for a "writ of error" was rejected by the Appellate Division in 2002, and in 2003, the Court of Appeals again refused to hear the matter.
In 2007, Barnes filed another motion with Farkas, seeking a new trial, and was turned down in 2008. He then tried a motion for resentencing, which Farkas rejected in 2009.

Westminster Scholars News 2009
Westminster Scholars Helping Hands Day 2009
On August 24, 2009 the first group of Westminster Scholars teamed up with the Lacross team to participate in a Helping Hands activity at Hidden Hollow in Sugarhouse. The group worked with Arthur Morris of Utah Open Lands and Lynne Olson of Parleys Rails, Trails and Tunnels association. They learned about the history of the park, native and invasive plant species, and then conducted a scientific survey of plant species in each of the six plant communities. The study will assist the city as it works to eliminate invasive non-native species from the park. After lunch the groups helped pick up trash in the park. Watch a video here.
Parleys Rails, Trails and Tunnels
Parley's Rails, Trails and Tunnels (PRATT) Coalition was created to assist city, county, state and federal agencies and other public and private partners in completing a multi-use trail along I-80 via Parley's Creek Corridor and the Sugar House Rail Spur to connect the Bonneville Shoreline Trail with the Provo-Jordan River Parkway.

Nicolas Cage is in the clear.
The actor, 47, who was arrested for alleged domestic abuse and disturbing the peace after an allegedly drunken argument with his wife in New Orleans last month, won't be prosecuted.
"The New Orleans District Attorney has confirmed that no charges of any kind will be pursued against him," Cage's attorney Harry Rosenberg tells PEOPLE. "After their investigation, the DAs refused all charges against Nick and the matter has been closed."
Rosenberg added: "We are pleased that the process led to the correct result, despite inaccurate media reports, and that Nick has been cleared and all charges have been dropped."
The New Orleans District Attorney wasn't immediately available for comment.

Vikings have need at receiver but Kalil remains logical choice at No. 3
Over the past week, ESPN's Adam Schefter has been adamant that USC left tackle Matt Kalil is not a lock to go to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 3 in next week's draft. But logic dictates otherwise.
According to Schefter, Kalil, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon, and Notre Dame wideout Michael Floyd are the players that the Vikings are "strongly debating" taking with the third overall pick. All four prospects would make sense based on Minnesota's needs, but out of that group Kalil sticks out like a sore thumb.
The Vikings must build around quarterback Christian Ponder and while they could certainly help him by adding a playmaker at receiver, the left tackle position must be addressed. The Vikings could get by at wideout with Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins, but to return to the field next year with Charlie Johnson penciled in at left tackle would be a mistake. Johnson struggled mightily in pass protection last year and wasn't much better as a run blocker either. It would be difficult for Ponder to make strides in his second season if he has defenders constantly at his backside.
It's difficult to find left tackles in the middle rounds that are ready to start right away. It makes more sense for the Vikings to snag Kalil at No. 3 and then target a receiver like LSU's Ruben Randle in the second round if he were to fall. The wide receiver position is deep in this year's draft. Offensive tackle, meanwhile, is not.
Schefter is the most plugged in NFL reporter in the league and there's always legitimacy to his reports. But you have to wonder if GM Rick Spielman is putting a spin on things trying to draw interest in the No. 3 pick. If the Vikings trade down, they could acquire multiple picks and fill multiple needs in the first couple of rounds.
But at the end of the day, the Vikings need help now and I believe Kalil will ultimately be too good to pass up at No. 3.

Halfway through spring drills, Penn State coach Bill O'Brien said the quarterback battle between Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson is "about even."
"Both guys are athletic, bright guys," O'Brien told gopsusports.com Friday. "They're competitive, they're working hard at it. Both guys have had good plays and bad plays. They're about even right now, and I really enjoy coaching them."
Bench was Matt McGloin's backup last year but appeared for a only a few plays in two games. Ferguson is a junior college transfer who threw for 2,614 and 22 touchdowns at College of the Sequoias in California.
Freshman recruit Christian Hackenberg is not yet on campus and will join the Nittany Lions this summer.
O'Brien said the team has "made a lot of progress" so far this spring.
"These guys have had a hard-working spring," he said. "It hasn't all been pretty, that's spring football. But we've got a lot of young guys that are working hard, and our veterans seem to know the pace that we want, and we feel good about where we're at right now."
O'Brien installed a new offense last year that relied heavily on a quick, no-huddle attack. He doesn't have a veteran quarterback like McGloin running the offense, but the coach said the players have a better grasp of it after running it for a year.
"We like the fact that we can change in and out of it," O'Brien said. "We can go fast and slow it down. The guys have a better handle of it this year, so we're able to do a lot of different things with the tempo."
The weather finally eased up enough to allow Penn State to practice outside Friday for the first time this spring. That was the eighth spring practice, and the Lions will have four this week.
"Next week's a big week for us," O'Brien said. "We have four practices, and we've got to get a lot of work done. We still have some installation to do there and different things we want to put in on offense, defense and special teams. ... The last week we'll probably tempo it down a little bit and get ready for the Blue-White

Two Moncks Corner men were arrested April 23 after an armed robbery led police to a methamphetamine lab.
On April 17 Moncks Corner Police Department officers responded to the Scotchman on East Main Street in reference to an armed robbery.
A white male subject picked up merchandise to make a purchase. When the cashier rang up the sale the subject implied he had a weapon and demanded all the money in the register, according to a statement from MCPD.
The stores security camera revealed two white male subjects had been to the store several times that morning and purchased beer while the second subject performed the armed robbery.
Both subjects fled the scene in a burnt orange/red SUV. MCPD released still photos of the subjects and received numerous tips from the community identifying the subjects, who had addresses on Joey Lane and Mullinax Lane.
On April 23 MCPD and the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office executed arrest warrants on Joey Lane and found a methamphetamine lab at the residence.
James Jerry Craven Jr. was arrested and charged with armed robbery while armed or allegedly armed with a deadly weapon and attempting to manufacture methamphetamine. His bonds were set at $340,000.
Later that afternoon Jarrett Paunice Craven was arrested at his Mullinax Lane residence and charged with armed robbery while armed or allegedly armed with a deadly weapon, driving under suspension, hit and run, and driving a vehicle at a greater speed than reasonable under conditions.
His bonds have been set at $260,652.

Penn State, which has been losing prize recruits in the weeks since the NCAA handed down its harsh sanctions, picked one up on Saturday.
And it came at a position of need.
Jordan Smith, a 5-foot-10, 187-pound cornerback from H.D. Woodson High School in Washington, D.C, has given the Nittany Lions a verbal commitment. He is the second defensive back recruit in Penn State's 2013 recruiting class and the 10th overall following the decommitments of five pledges in the last three weeks.
"I can't speak to the sanctions. All I know is Penn State is my dream school and the place I wanted to go since Day One," Smith told ESPN after making his decision.
Smith claimed offers from Colorado, Kansas and Ohio State in a recent interview with Rivals.com's Mike Farrell, in which he also said he would be graduating early from Woodson after transferring in from Archbishop Carroll High School -- that would be important, because, if Smith enrolls in January, his scholarship could be counted against the 2012 recruiting class and open up another scholarship for 2013.
Under the NCAA penalties, Penn State will be limited to 15 scholarships per year, although Nittany Lion recruiting coordinator Charles London told the Mirror on media day Thursday that it remains to be determined whether that restriction will begin in 2013 or 2014.
Before sanctions were announced, Penn State was expected to sign four or five defensive backs in this class. Florida safety Neiko Robinson currently is the only other verbal commitment in the secondary; Ohio's Ross Douglas was among the recruits that had committed to Penn State but changed their minds after the sanctions were announced.
Smith made 90 tackles and five interceptions as a junior at Carroll. Illinois, Tennessee, Buffalo and Hawaii were other colleges said to have shown interest.

EAST WATERFORD - John R. Bailor, 82, of East Waterford, died at 1:40 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012, at the Locust Grove Retirement Village, in Mifflin.
Born on April 12, 1930, in East Waterford, Juniata County, he was a son of the late John W. and Mary M. (Gray) Bailor. His wife of more than 60 years, Lois M. (McCulloch) Bailor, whom he married on Nov. 3, 1948, preceded him in death on Feb. 2, 2009.
Surviving are: his children, John S. Bailor and his wife, Patricia, of Honey Grove, Karen S. Fultz and her husband, William, of Rising Sun, Md., Robert L. Bailor and his wife, Kathleen, of Honey Grove, Sharon K. Lukens and her husband, Dennis, of McAlisterville, Richard K. Bailor and his wife, Robin, of Shelbyville, Tenn., and Laurie J. Tusing and her husband, Jeff, of Camp Hill; four brothers, David "Andy" Bailor and his wife, Bonnie, of East Waterford, Jay P. Bailor, of Carlisle, Glenn W. Bailor and his wife, Rhoda, and Frank E. Bailor, all of New Bloomfield; one sister, Audrey "Susie" Gray and her husband, Jack, of Mifflin; two brothers-in-law, James Yetter, and Russell Sellers, both of Mifflintown; 16 grandchildren; two stepgrandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren.
One son, William H. Bailor, four sisters, Marion "Mickey" Yetter and Rose Sellers and two that were in infancy, preceded him in death.
He attended the Faith United Methodist Church, East Waterford.
Until retiring, Mr. Bailor farmed his family farm, as well as owning and operating Bailor Lumber, of East Waterford.
John was an avid race car fan of NASCAR and he sponsored several sprint cars which raced locally at the Port Royal Speedway and other area tracks.

Social Entrepreneurship - The Contribution of Individual Entrepreneurs to Sustainable Development
Christian Seelos
Stanford PACS
Johanna Mair
University of Navarra - IESE Business School
IESE Business School Working Paper No. 553
Social entrepreneurship is a phenomenon that has resisted attempts to establish a clear definition. A focus on organizational structures and/or what constitutes a worthy social cause has created a diverse set of terminology. Observing the positive social impact of entrepreneurs catering to basic needs, this paper recognizes their unique role in efficiently contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals. From this perspective, the term social can be much better defined. The frameworks proposed in this paper should guide much-needed further research and facilitate decision making about more focused support from a financial as well as a learning perspective.

Butter has to be one of the hardest-working ingredients in the Western larder. It makes cakes tender and sauces silken. It's a splendid spread all by itself. It's a reliable fat for pan-frying foods that cook quickly. But heat it too long, and its milk proteins and salts will start to burn.
Some call that brown butter. I call it black magic.
Cooking with brown butter is like listening to Billie Holiday; it adds depth, flavor, mystery and just a shade of burn. Plain butter – well, that's Doris Day on a warm sunny afternoon.
I have been using brown-butter variations to sauce fish and vegetables for years. A hazelnutty brown-butter sauce – beurre noisette in French – goes very well with soft-shell crabs, skate wings, clams and all manner of delicate white fish.
Ditto asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, squash and mushrooms. In just a few minutes, brown butter will turn a plain pasta or chicken dish into something elegant, something luxurious.
Not long ago, I began to discover the pleasure of brown-butter baking. First, a simple pound cake. Then a little experimenting with brown butter in other cakes. Soon, I started to notice brown butter in all kinds of dessert recipes – from Rebecca Lang's Brown-Butter Coffeecake with Peaches and Blueberries (from "Around the Southern Table") to Sheri Castle's Browned Butter Peach Upside-Down Cake ("The New Southern Garden Cookbook").
"Brown butter is pretty much like butter plus, butter as an overachiever," says Cynthia Wong, who recently left her job as executive pastry chef at Empire State South to move to London.
"Just the simple act of cooking it until it browns brings out all these wonderful toasted nut and caramel flavors, and even a bit of a savory edge. It adds a depth of flavor I liken to getting a really beautiful crust on a grilled steak."
As I put out a call for sweets made with brown butter, friends started telling me about their brown-butter oatmeal cookies; apple cake with brown-butter/cream cheese frosting; and buttermilk pecan pie with brown butter. And hey, did you see that recipe for winter pear cake with pistachios and brown butter? Wong turned me on to her rich, dense cake of brown butter, apples and toasted pecans.
Pasta stirred with brown butter and sprinkled with bread crumbs is a comforting, homespun dish that can be made in minutes. Add scallops and you have a dish fit for company. You can prepare the following recipe in the time it takes to boil pasta. Make it a vegetarian entrée by substituting blanched vegetables (such as asparagus or cauliflower) for the scallops. Some people have trouble telling when a fat sea scallop is done; quartering them makes the job easy.
Easy Linguine with Scallops and Brown Butter
16 ounces linguine (may use spaghetti, angel hair, fettuccine or other pasta of choice)
6 tablespoons butter
12 large sea scallops (about 1 pound), chopped into quarters
1½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup toasted breadcrumbs (preferably homemade), plus more for garnish
∏ cup chopped parsley
kosher or sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper
Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
While pasta is boiling, melt butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the butter, stirring regularly, until the solids are just beginning to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Spoon about 1 teaspoon butter over the bread crumbs and toss to coat. Add the scallops and cook until they are just cooked through, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in garlic and lemon juice. Dump the scallops and brown-butter sauce over the pasta. Add bread crumbs and parsley, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into four large serving bowls and garnish with bread crumbs. Serves: 4.

Linton Hopkins' Brown-Butter Creamed Winter Greens
For the béchamel sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 small bay leaf
6 black peppercorns
For the greens:
6 ounces slab bacon, rind trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
3½ pounds baby winter greens (such as collards, mustard greens or kale), stemmed and coarsely chopped
béchamel sauce
½ cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or to taste
To make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Add the shallot, bay leaf and peppercorns.
Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl. Press parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce and set aside.
To make the greens: Cut the bacon into ¼-inch slices. Cut the slices into ¼-inch-wide sticks. (Note: If you can't find slab bacon, use the thickest bacon you can find. End pieces cut into chunks work well.) Cook bacon in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown but not crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain; then pour off the fat from the pot and wipe it clean.
Heat the butter in the pot over medium-low heat until brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the greens one handful at a time, letting each handful wilt before adding the next. Stir in the béchamel sauce, cream, garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring, until the greens are tender and coated with sauce, about 10 minutes. Stir in the bacon and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot. Serves: 6-8.

This is the leather backpack that I've been looking for at an affordable price. The leather is buttery soft and the red is the perfect shade. I'm petite and all backpack purses have either been big in size, bulky or just too expensive. While is is on the smaller side, the profile is perfect for my 5'1" frame. I did have to downsize to a smaller wallet though. I also decided to do away with a cosmetic bag and just toss whatever I may need for the day into the bag itself or the various pockets. The two outer pockets on the front are small but fit all the little things like lip balm, my inhaler, lozenges and whatnot. There are also two more "secure" pockets on the back, one of them being a zippered pocket almost the full width of the bag itself. The other pocket has a pretty secure magnetic closure and is rather deep. On the inside there is a zippered pocket and two stash pockets. The only complaint about that is that the stash pockets are a little too high up from the zippered one so putting something "tall" could be a minor inconvenience to accessing the zipper compartment. While the interior is a little smallish, I can fit a small wallet, various whatnots and a 16 oz. water bottle comfortably with a little room left over. The bag itself fits like a glove whether carrying as a traditional backpack or by one strap. Even with using just one strap the bag fits flat against my back. The profile is so flat, you could easily shop comfortably without someone walking into your bag. This is one of the best purchases I've made and I'm happy that I finally found the perfect backpack.

I had been eying this bag for a long time, and finally decided to go for it last October. Sure enough, the pockets were very practical, the style was pleasing (though I wished it were a little wider). But it hasn't held up well at all. I just had to replace it; not only did the main zipper break, but the fabric inside the two smallest pockets ripped in such a way that it couldn't be repaired. I have always been able to keep bags for at least a year or two, but this one only lasted 8 months. Sorry Levenger!

Where did you get that Bag?
By Student with a mission
from Santa Monica
I use this backpack for a purse. It is compact and easy to carry. I just put it on my back and I'm hands free. So many people ask me where I got it and comment on how practical it is. I love how everything fits inside. My keys, wallet, cell phone and book of the day all fit nicely.

Marley Teardrop Backpack
By VA biker
from Hardy, VA
This backpack holds all I carry day-to-day and to work. My phone fits into the pocket on the back for easy access, my wallet is safely tucked into the zippered pocket, the small pockets on each side of the front hold easy-to-access items, such as lipstick, lotion, hand mirror. Inside has plenty of room for glasses case, IPAD mini, tablet and/or a book, and two pens. The garnet is a great color and the quality seems sturdy. Great purchase!
just right!

I have had one for years and love it so much! Now I have purchased a second one, not that the first one is worn out. I used it a lot and it is still fine. It's just that I like the red color and could use a second one.
Very nice!
By SpikeEsMom

Just got the black! Big enough for my iPad mini & my moms iPad Air in the interior. The inside pockets are very small and would hold roughly a deck of cards but the outside 2 pockets flush to the back hold my iPhone 6 securely. The 2 small slanted pockets on the front each hold a pair of glasses or sunglasses. There is also a permanent key holder in the inside. I like this bag!

Back in September I was involved in organising a conference to celebrate Children of the 90s 21st birthday.

This is a discussion on Too late for LVM on my working system? - Redhat ; * * * * * * * * CROSS POSTED: * * * * * * * * alt.linux.redhat, alt.os.linux.redhat, linux.redhat, linux.redhat.install Hello to All: My home computer system consists of a 2002 built MicronPC ClientPro 325 with its original ...
alt.linux.redhat, alt.os.linux.redhat, linux.redhat,
Hello to All:
My home computer system consists of a 2002 built MicronPC ClientPro
325 with its original Intel D845GRG motherboard whose CPU is a Pentium
4, 2.0GHz, 400 FSB and 2GB of RAM.
I have two each 40GB IDE hard disks such that hda, a WDC
WD400BB-00DEA0, on the Primary Master, has Windows XP Pro on hda1, and
is formatted NTFS, hda2 (FAT32) is a shared partition for both
systems. The 2nd hard disk, a Maxtor 6L040L2, on the Primary Slave,
(hdb) has eleven Linux partitions and is formatted EXT3 (now) for my
Linux system, presently a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (Tikanga).
As can be guessed, the system had originally been a single boot XP
system, as originally built by Micron. The 2nd hard disk was later
added for dual boot with RHEL3 (Taroon). The hdb partitions were
originally sized through the advice of others, and although I've
adjusted their sizes with Partition Magic 8 and GParted in the early
days of EXT2, I've never retired my partition quantities from my
original choices.
The 2nd hard disk (hdb) is exclusively for Linux and approximately
17GB, of its total 40GB, is unpartitioned.
My hdb information:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id Partition

"system-config-lvm" says that all my Linux partitions are of a
"Uninitialized Disk Entity" class. This is due to the fact that I was
not courageous enough to create anything with LVM back then. Suffice
to say that nothing has been done to enjoy the benefits of LVM since.
Question: Since my RHEL5.1 Tikanga is used as a running & viable
system, and as long as I have recent partition backups, would I be
able to "Initialize all the Disk Entities" and probably not loose
anything? My Red Hat software is up-to the-minute current.
Thank you in advance,

Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

holiday / vacation
If you're desperate for some English-on-English action, then have a look at the archives. There are some lonely orphan posts with no comments on them. They need you! I won't be around to assure them that they're just as interesting as Welsh dresser and World Cup words. (They can get a bit whingy (AmE=whiny), but don't let that put you off.)

I've seen whingy in written British English, but I've always wondered... how is it pronounced?

Just a note to remind ourselves that we Brits also use the word 'vacation', but with a nore restricted sense, i.e., to refer to the periods of leisure between the university and the law terms.
AWESOME (an example of American overstatement, perhaps!) blog, Lynne! I very much look forward to its continuation!

> I've seen whingy in written British English, but I've always wondered... how is it pronounced?
It's pronounced stinji, Carl, to rhyme with 'stingy', rather than with 'stringy'. In Scottish dialects it is possibly pronounced 'hwinji' - the Scots tend to be more careful about the 'wh' than the English, I think.
I used to think 'whinge' was an Australian word, introduced into BrE in the early '70s, (Ozzies used complain about 'whinging Poms' - Brit visitors to their country complained about all things Australian), but my dictionary tells me it's from OE hwinsian, whine.
- 17 July, 2006 13:23
- Howard said...
Lots of typos in my comment above: I meant 'winji', not 'stinji'; there ought to be a 'to' before 'complain'; and there ought to be a 'who' between 'country' and 'complained'! :-(

Am I the only one who finds "English-on-English action" to be more than a little suggestive?
Also, I would use break rather than vacation in this case.
Vacation suggests, although it does not require, going away, spending a lot of money, and doing touristy things.
Since it is you who went on holiday, the broader break seems more appropiate.

Officials walk out of heated meeting
May 4, 2013
An emotional Belington Town Council meeting Thursday lasted nearly three hours, as tempers flared between the mayor and a councilman, and a local minister demanded the mayor step down....
Thank - you maxgrove, you're helping me to understand some more of this story. I know there is more to it yet and I see your point, the Mayor has to answer for himself. Thanks for being honest with me. I'm still interested in the outcome.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hey notfromhere, Unfortunately, the rest of the story has a lot of issues of a personal nature with regard to the Mayor. It should be his place to hang out that laundry, not mine. He is a likeable person. I can say here, because it is public information, our Mayor is also the Police Chief in the Town of Junior. He is the only police officer there. He was the Police Chief in Belington when we moved here. Police Chief's are not required to attend the State Police Academy. Chief Haller has not attended the academy and thus is not a certified police officer. He and I had a rocky start to his term as Mayor, but we settled in and in my opinion, he was an effective mayor. He ran for sheriff in Barbour County last year and was defeated.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hey Notfromhere, My wife and I chose to live in Belington only in 2006. To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a mayor who resided outside the city limits. Our Charter, parts of which reach back to 1927, prohibits the mayor living outside the city.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hey Puremagix, Some of your points are well taken. Especially the Crown Jewel reference. The great thing about our Democratic Republic is that our representatives in all governments come from a variety of backgrounds and that is what has made this nation so great. However, when good people see wrong taking place and sit by and do nothing, Anarchy is not far behind. On the other hand, when good people see wrong and do something about it as I did, then all those folks that have done nothing come out of the woodwork and condemn and criminalize those that are trying to make a difference. I have 2 years remaining on the Belington Council which I intend to fulfill, and yes, I will continue to point out wrongdoing and I at times may appear to be acting like a child. My constant prayer is that I would have a gentle spirit. Most times I do, but I am not infallible. Pray for me.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Max, may I ask... Have you ever had a mayor who did not live in the city ? I had heard that in the past there was one. If this is not the whole story, then could someone work on getting the rest of the story published ?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hey Sisterbelle....Notice that I do not hide behind a fictional name. I do not lie and I do not slander. I opposed Jody Haller before he ran for his first term because I knew that he would dismantle the Belington Police Dept, beginning with the chief at that time. I never did pledge loyalty and allegiance to this mayor or any other. If I have wronged you, give me a call so that I can seek your forgiveness. I am sure you can find my number.

Hey notfromhere: No offense, but you really need to know the rest of the story. The mayor's moving out of town, is not trivial, it is against the City Charter.

Jody needs to step down. He uses his position for his own good.He picks and chooses who he will enforce the city rules against. Belington is getting to be a sh## hole fast.

I know none of the people involved in this, but I have been following this somewhat. Why would a Church pastor get himself so worked up over a trivial situation. I thought pastors where to set an example of understanding. I'm glad he's not my pastor because I don't feel he is teaching the ways of the Bible. I also feel that when you run for mayor, council or whatever, you should have a lot of patience. That is the biggest challenge to the job... Working together. If you can't give and take, don't run for the position. Sounds like everyone needs to lose the hot head and start over with understanding, the pastor should stop chasing after personal petty goals... This could be a lot bigger situation than the mayor moving someplace else temporarily, sounds like the pastor could start another Hatfield and McCoy situation just because someone moved. Grow up and practice what you preach.

Haller; typical arrogant fool. Impeach the incompetent idiot.

"No, I didn't," Haller said. "I guess I'm wrong again. Every time I try to do something it seems it's not right." ... by your own admission, isn't this why they are asking you to step down??

I don't believe the issue here is "intelligence," but more like deception, grandiosity and intimidation. This was an inherited, ongoing situation at Belington City Council, long before Mayor Haller's term started, and 'tho true colors emerged for this news item to be printed, the damage had been done, many times over. If you're looking for conflict, confusion, disturbance and an embarrassment to the City of Belington, perhaps the history can be traced to the "trusted" councilman. Regrets anybody? I regret seeing Belington torn to pieces through the scheming, power thirsty, bullying of a councilman who indicated his loyalty and allegiance to the mayor and then proceeded to make a list of all of his "supposed" flaws. I, too, am a victim of this councilman's vicious lies and slander, but knew, in time, the truth would be known. I was also taken in by the seemingly sincere intentions, but found the volatile nature to surface. I see it again. Am I the only on
