When a some members of the politicallyprompted hacking group Anonymous floated a plan lately to cripple theInternet's core address system, the idea was roundly dismissed byother members of the group. Seeking to disable the Internet byattacking servers vital to the Domain Name System the Internet'saddress look-up system would be counter to the group's actions, whichbased upon a constant online front.
In any case, experts have said anattack against the root servers that deliver address information fortop-level domains would be very tough because of the redundancyconstructed into the system. But like Anonymous proceeds to flex itshacking muscle, it is creating officials increasingly nervous. Itsactions recently have contained the theft of millions of emails fromanalyst firm Start for Global Intelligence, to the recording lastmonth of a conference call among U.S. and British law enforcementagencies.
Evaluating the motives of Anonymous istough since it consists various groups of hackers and activists andhas no central leadership, said Joshua Corman, director of securityintelligence for Akamai Technologies, who studies the group.
Cyber criminals motivated by profit areimprobable to attempt to bring down the Internet because it would becontrary to their financial interests, Corman said. But withinAnonymous are some "chaotic actors" who can have a "realnasty streak," he said. "When you don't have centralizedleadership, it does not matter what most will do, it matters what oneof them will do," Corman said.
Merely a small core of Anonymous isidea to have the technical experience-how to carry out such advancedhacking operations. As most grassroots organizations, its strengthArrives from the masses who join its cause, whether via electronicattacks or in physical protests wearing the Guy Fawkes masks thathave become a hallmark of the group.
But security analysts said the roughtool left activists' IP addresses exposed, which could support a wayfor authorities to attempt to track them down. Brown said U.S.officials are already edging close to conflating Anonymous onterrorist groups such as al-Qaida, which could push Anonymous in thedirection of wanting to become more accountable in order to crediblydeflect false flags. But the rapidly altering make-up of the groupcreates it hard also for people inside Anonymous to put current,Brown said. It as well creates it harder to coordinate a unifiedvoice for the group.

PHOTOS - Ireland's top ten most popular tourist attractions for 2011 photo gallery
Failte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, has revealed the 2011 list of fee-paying and free attractions around Ireland.
Dublin Zoo, who have welcomed many new arrivals this year including giraffes and gorillas, came in at first place in the fee-paying category while the National Gallery of Ireland maintained its dominance in the free attractions category.
The authority said that although 2010 was the most difficult year in tourism in decades the popularity of the attractions remained high.
1. Dublin Zoo
Failte Ireland reported that its numbers grew by almost seven percent in 2010 to 960,000.
The Zoo opened in 1813. It is the largest zoo in Ireland covering 24 hectares (59 acres) of Phoenix Park.
This May the zoo welcomed 12 new arrivals including a litter of piglets in the "Family Farm", a blackbuck calf, a Sulawesi-crested macaque. Also in the last year the zoo welcomed a new giraffe and gorilla.
2. Guinness Storehouse
The Guinness Storehouse, at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, has welcomed over 4 million visitors in the last decade. The Storehouse introduces the beer's four ingredients, water, barley, hops and yeast, as well as the brewery's founder, Arthur Guinness.
Other floors feature the history of Guinness advertising and an interactive exhibit that encourages responsible drinking. In 2006, a new wing opened incorporating a live installation of the present day brewing process.
The seventh floor houses the Gravity Bar where visitors may claim a complimentary pint of Guinness and enjoy the 360° views over Dublin City.
3. National Aquatic Centre
National Aquatic Centre is a water-sports facility near the village of Blanchardstown Dublin. The NAC was built to be "the home of Irish swimming", with modern facilities such as a 50m competition pool (one of only three in Ireland), diving pool with movable floor, and leisure centre — it is Ireland's largest indoor water leisure facility.
4. Cliffs of Moher
The most famous and breathtaking parts of Ireland's craggy west coastline are the Cliffs of Moher, which feature some of the most breathtaking views on the entire island.
The Cliffs stretch for almost five miles and rise up to 702-feet over the waters of the Atlantic ocean. The amazing view from the Cliffs includes the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, The Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk Mountains.
The landscape and seascape of the Cliffs of Moher have, for centuries, welcomed a multitude of visitors; close to one million people per year now travel to this iconic location.
5. The Book of Kells
The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks 800 AD or slightly earlier. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and is widely regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure.
It is on permanent display at the Trinity College Library, Dublin. The library usually displays two of the current four volumes at a time, one showing a major illustration and the other showing typical text pages.
1. The National Gallery of Ireland
National Gallery of Ireland continued its dominance as the favored free attraction, recording more than 736,000 visitors last year.
Although it's not the Louvre, the National Gallery of Ireland does have its charms and when visiting Dublin art lovers should make some time for a leisurely stroll. Situated at Merrion Square near the home and birthplace of Oscar Wilde and close to the National Museum in Kildare Street it is not too out of the way. And the small but exquisite collection of renowned masterpieces, including an only recently discovered Caravaggio, will make the visit definitely worth your while.
2. Botanic Gardens
The National Botanic Gardens are located in Glasnevin, north-west of Dublin city centre. The 27 acres (19.5 hectares), are situated between Prospect Cemetery and the River Tolka where it forms part of that river's floodplain.
The gardens were founded in 1795 by the Dublin Society (later the Royal Dublin Society) and they have grown to hold 20,000 living plants and many millions of dried plant specimens. There are several architecturally notable greenhouses.
3. Irish Museum of Modern Art
The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) is Ireland's leading national institution exhibiting and collecting modern and contemporary art. The museum opened in May 1991 and is located in Royal Hospital Kilmainham, a 17th-century building near Heuston Station to the west of Dublin's city centre.
4. Farmleigh
Farmleigh was formerly one of the Dublin residences of the Guinness family. It is situated in the civil parish of Castleknock on an elevated position above the River Liffey to the north-west of the Phoenix Park. The estate of 78 acres (32 ha) consists of extensive private gardens with stands of mature cypress, pine and oak trees, a boating pond, walled garden, sunken garden, out offices and a herd of rare native Kerry cattle.
As if this location needed anymore press after Queen Elizabeth II made it her based during her visit to Ireland this May.
5. Holy Cross Abbey
The Holy Cross Abbey in Tipperary is a restored Cistercian monastery situated on the River Suir. It takes its name from a relic of the True Cross or Holy rood. The fragment of that Holy rood was brought to Ireland by the Plantagenet Queen, Isabella of Angouleme around 1233.
The Holy Rood relic was last exposed for public veneration in 1632, and following the Cromwellian war, Holy Cross Abbey fell into ruins. Local people used the roofless ruins as a burial place after 1740. It became a scheduled national monument in 1880, "to be preserved and not used as a place of worship".
Special legislation in the Dáil on its 50th anniversary, 21 January 1969, enabled Holy Cross Abbey to be restored as a place of Catholic worship, exceptionally for a national monument. The Sacristan of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican provided an authenticated relic of the Holy Cross, and the emblem of the Jerusalem Cross, or Crusader Cross, has been restored for the Abbey.

Andrew Mitchell ended a month-long battle to keep his job last night after conceding that the anger provoked by his rant at Downing Street police officers had made it impossible for him to stay in his post.
In a dramatic end to David Cameron's campaign to hold on to his Chief Whip, Mr Mitchell met the Prime Minister yesterday to tell him that public opprobrium had led to support of his colleagues haemorrhaging away.
His departure risks damaging the Prime Minister's authority. Mr Cameron had stubbornly refused to dismiss the man he promoted in a reshuffle only last month. Only

- Like the previous project, you'll want to select text or paper for your frames. Using the hole punch, or a compass and craft knife or scissors, punch out the image or text you'd like to use for the round frames. Using the paper glaze, glue the paper into the bezel and then fill to the top of the frame. Allow these to dry overnight.
- Meanwhile, using the head pins from your copper findings kit, thread on a large aqua rondelle bead and make a wrapped loop. Repeat this so you have two blue drops. Then make 2 wrapped loop pins using the silver rondelles, too.
- To assemble the focal section of the necklace, attach two jump rings to the rectangle pendant, and link one each through a round bezel. Attach your second bezels to either side. To attach the drop, open a jump ring and thread it around both the bezel loop and the aqua wrapped loop. Take a second jump ring and do the same on the other side. You now have a pretty dangle between your bezels! Attach the silver rondelle wrapped loop pins to either side of your focal section with a jump ring.
- To create the beaded portion, cut 2 lengths of beading wire approximately 12 inches long. Attach the wire with a crimp bead, leaving a 1 inch tail. Now thread on your beads in the following pattern: aurora borealis bead, silver rondelle, aqua rondelle, silver rondelle, aurora borealis bead.
- Repeat this pattern for as long as you need your necklace to be. Finish off by adding a crimp bead, your clasp, and crimping off. Trim your beading wire, and you are ready to wear!

LEWISTOWN - A Middleburg man with a background in finance and a desire to help people has started up his own firm.
On Dec. 5, Shawn A. Wilson launched S.A. Wilson & Associates LLC, an investment management and financial planning firm. The business, located on Monument Square in Lewistown, is a Registered Investment Advisor, registered with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission.
Wilson said he first got into this type of business through his education at Penn State University.

Shawn A. Wilson, of Middleburg, started S.A. Wilson & Associates LLC on Dec. 5. The investment management and financial planning firm, located at 3 W. Monument Square in Lewistown, is a Registered Investment Advisor registered with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission.
He has many years of experience working for Fortune 500 companies and local banks, he said, adding that he also held the position of stockbroker for a while.
"I always wanted to do financial planning," he said.
Though he and his family live in Middleburg, Wilson said he wanted to open S.A. Wilson & Associates in Lewistown because "I really like the area."
He said he believes the Juniata Valley could benefit from "somebody different," when it comes to financial planning.
"I believe that the consumer really needs some options as far as financial advice," he said.
Wilson said his firm is a fiduciary, meaning the business acts in the client's best interest at all times.
"The industry is changing," he said. "(It's the) fastest moving segment of financial advisors leaving broker dealers."
Wilson said many in the business are getting out of commission work, and getting into fiduciary work.
One reason for this is that people want consumer-friendly financial advice, he said.
"Everything's disclosed," Wilson said, explaining that clients know exactly what they're paying for.
"It's really just about sitting at the same side of the table," he said. "I really opened (the firm) up for the consumer. Everybody seems to want openness."
According to the firm's brochure, S.A. Wilson & Associates serves Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, Perry and Snyder counties. It offers comprehensive or hourly, as-needed fee-only financial planning and investment management tailored to the client's needs and goals.
The firm is not commission-based, performance-based or quota-driven, according to the brochure.
"We also disclose all of our business practices and how we are compensated as part of our fiduciary duty to our clients," the brochure states.
S.A. Wilson & Associates is located at 3 W. Monument Square, suite 300. Hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and by appointment Friday.
For more information call 242-2224, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.sawilsonassociates.com. Additional information can be found at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. The searchable IARD/CRD number for S.A. Wilson & Associates is 158417.

If you watch the San Antonio Spurs and their offense, then you not only just became a good friend of mine, but you probably appreciate team basketball. It may not have been the real team out there this summer in Las Vegas, but they sure did do their best to imitate them. For a video breakdown of the offense of that particular team, there's a lovely YouTuber who does it for you. However, I am going to analyze how it all looks as whole.
I'm not going to sit here and lie to you by telling you that I watched all the Summer League games for the Spurs. I wasn't fortunate to have NBA TV at the time, so those games went unseen for me. What I will tell you is that I have been watching the Spurs for a decade-plus and what Coach Daniel has to say in his breakdown of the Milwaukee game is spot-on. They run a pretty smooth offense that doesn't necessarily always end in a basket or even a good shot, but more often than not something good happens.
The Spurs also use the summer as an opportunity to teach their new initiates the system, so they can be ready to contribute right away. Guys like Bryce Cotton and Kyle Anderson will surely get their chance at training camp to make an impressions on the Spurs' staff. It's very much unlike the Houston Rockets who use this time as a highly experimental stage in their tinkering and retooling of their basketball philosophies. They try out things in the Summer League and with their D-League affiliate, just to see what might work with the Rockets, but ultimately it's Daryl Morey's decision on if it's implemented. In that regard, he is very similar to R.C. Buford in that they both watch all their affiliated teams closely and make that last decision on what to do with them.
And the summer is the perfect time to do that. If fringe professional NBA players can run the offense, then not only is it simple enough for them to grasp, but it's also efficient enough to work on all levels. That is precisely why Gregg Popovich implements it for his team and it probably doesn't hurt that he has a lot of selfless guys to pass around the rock, to find the best shots, rather than "just good" shots in an offense. Surely the Spurs hope to impart upon all those who play for them at some level and in some capacity, the idea that you should always be looking for a better shot than the one just given up, but also be willing to take that shot and recognize it's yours to take (when appropriate).
Just know that summer time is by no means the most exciting basketball you'll watch, but it definitely gives a nice glimpse into the future of what you can expect from some teams. That's why the Spurs in summer league tend to do well and why teams like the 76ers tend to do poorly (despite their Orlando League championship). It's not a time to be overlooked, especially if you're a team trying to win and do it in the near future.

Quarterback Mike Wagner led the Falcons to a 40-14 win over Garfield.
by Russ Paris
Mike Wagner made the most of his first start as the Woodinville Falcons' quarterback, factoring in three of their four first-half touchdowns, and leading the team to a 40-14 victory over the Garfield Bulldogs.
Wagner, a junior who was starting in place of injured senior Kris Billmaier, engineered Woodinville's first touchdown on a 27-yard keeper on the Falcons' first possession. He finished with four touchdowns and 91 yards rushing on eight carries.
"The Bulldogs gave us good field position and we were able to execute and capitalize," said Wagner. "I was much more relaxed this week because we had a good week of practice in which I had a lot of repetitions with the first team. I was more confident and was able to use my speed to help the team run the ball."
Wagner runs a 4.5 second 40-yard dash.
The Falcon running game was also helped considerably by fullback Aaron "the bus" Hineline who rushed for 126 yards on 15 carries, and one touchdown.
"This is a big win for us," said Hineline. "We need to win the rest of our games."
Head Coach Terry Agnew gave his younger players game experience and Alex Bobinger scored for the Falcons on a 6-yard run for Woodinville's final score.
The Falcons finished with 296 yards on the ground. Curtis Cruz made four of six point after touchdowns.
Defensively, Brett Harris had five tackles and one blocked punt. The Falcons also recovered five fumbles and had one interception.
Woodinville is 4-1. Homecoming is this Saturday night against Franklin.

Muslims, similar to other people, cannot escape the process of modernization and the growing integration and interconnectedness of people and societies around the world. The last decade has witnessed a mushrooming of Islamic movements that view themselves as counterforces to cultural domination by the West. While the goal of these groups is to assert their religious identity in the face of what they regard as imperializing ideas like modernization and secularism, many have also turned to radicalism, especially in circumstances where moderate ways of responding are perceived to be ineffective in producing results.
Many Muslim societies are presently caught at such a crossroad between the traditional and the modern, where the old institutions and values are increasingly being brought in contact with modern forces. But, how they have dealt or are dealing with this situation depends on many factors.
This special issue aims to publish papers that will examine how Muslims and Muslim countries cope with changes brought about by modernity to be in line with traditions. The following are some subthemes that can be used as guides:
• Tradition and modernity from the Islamic perspective
• Islam and secularization
• Islamizing modernity or modernizing Islam?
• Responses of Islamic movements to modernity
• Effects of modernity on people's well-being
• Persistence of tradition in the face of modernity
• Modernity and the crisis of identity
• State and religion in the age of modernity
The guest editor for this special issue is Professor Abdul Rashid Moten. Manuscript submission should be made via email to him at firstname.lastname@example.com. For guidelines to author instructions, please see http://iiu.edu.my/intdiscourse/index.php/islam/about/submissions.

The Oscar Pistorius trial is less than two weeks away and newly leaked documents show startling revelations about the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of the Olympic star's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
On Valentine's Day last year, security guards from Pistorius's South African luxury estate called him after the early morning shooting and asked if "everything was in order," according to a court document obtained by South African television station eNCA.
[H]e indicated that he was fine," the document reportedly says, adding, "He never asked for their assistance and did not make a report about the shooting incident to them."
Pistorius, who has claimed the shooting was a case of mistaken identity – he thought he was shooting an intruder and not Steenkamp, 29, – previously said he immediately scrambled for help.
In a sworn affidavit at an earlier bail hearing, Pistorius said, "I phoned Johan Stander, who was involved in the administration of the estate, and asked him to phone the ambulance. I phoned Netcare (a private emergency services company) and asked for help. I went downstairs to open the front door."
The court document, which both sides deny leaking, also says that a female witness heard "talking like fighting," which she assumed was an argument. "This stopped after the shots were fired," the document states.
Pistorius has maintained the couple spent a loving night together.
While the report shows the basic outline of the state's game plan to prove Pistorius is guilty, one revelation could be beneficial to the defense.
The report says the prosecution's own ballistics analysis backs up Pistorius's claim that he was not wearing his prosthetic legs when he fired his gun four times through a locked bathroom door, killing his model girlfriend Steenkamp. The defense has suggested if the shooting were premeditated he would have had on his prosthetics.
The trial begins March 3 in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa. Known as the Blade Runner, Pistorius, the first paralympian to compete in the able-bodied Olympics, is charged with premeditated murder, illegal possession of ammunition, as well as two additional gun-related charges.

LANSING – The state Board of Canvassers unanimously approved petition language submitted by a coalition hoping to put expanded casino gaming before voters in November.
"We believe this is in compliance with our standards," said Chris Thomas, the board's secretary and Director of Elections for the Secretary of State. "It's certainly in compliance with our statute."
Thomas stressed that the board's approval was procedural only. The board's task Tuesday morning was to make sure the form of the petition was in compliance with state requirements.
The substance of the language itself wasn't up for approval.
The approval allows Citizens for More Michigan Jobs to
begin collecting the 322,609 signatures required to put the issue on the
Plans call for two casinos in downtown Detroit, and single-casino projects in Birch Run; Clam Lake Township near Cadillac; Clinton Township near Mount Clemens; Romulus; Pontiac (on the Silverdome site); DeWitt Township north of Lansing; and downtown Grand Rapids.
Advocates say the new casinos could bring more than 16,000 jobs to the state: 5,300 construction jobs, 6,000 directly in the casinos and 4,750 indirect jobs in the communities hosting casinos.
The board's vice chairman, Norm Shinkle, took issue with the
claims, which also appeared on the petitions organizers say paid signature gatherers will circulate.
Shinkle said he served on a commission in the 1980s when then-Detroit Mayor Coleman Young was attempting to bring a casino to the Motor City. He said study after study conducted then showed that casinos didn't create jobs.
"Casinos are a legalized way to rob people," he said. "Think about it: If they make all of this money, where does it come from?"
If the coalition succeeds in gathering enough signatures and getting the issue on the November ballot, Thomas will be charged with drafting the official ballot language.
He said the jobs claims wouldn't appear on the formal ballot.
Another group, Michigan is Yours, is attempting a second time to get their proposal for expanded casino gaming on the ballot. Their proposal would allow for casinos in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit, Romulus, Benton Harbor, Saginaw and Mount Clemens.

Because life is about living
1-28-13 Shinjuku
Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160 0022
The Edo-Tokyo Museum stands as a rich historical and cultural tribute to the vibrant and modern city of Tokyo. Opened in 1993, the museum is designed to take visitors down a captivating path of Tokyo's establishment and development beginning from as early as the 15th century. The site showcases unique and comprehensive exhibits that deal with a wide range of topics which include the culture and lifestyle of the Japanese.
Renowned as a heritage site in Tokyo, the Edo-Tokyo Museum attracts crowds of locals and tourists interested in exploring the city's culture and history. The museum has been constructed in a futuristic warehouse design that covers an expansive area of 30,000 square meters. The site houses 2 exhibition areas, one that exhibits displays on the old Tokyo section, known as Edo and the other that exhibits contemporary displays of today's Tokyo city. The entrance to the Edo section of the museum is an innovative life size reconstruction of the historically famous Nihonbashi Bridge.
The Edo section of the Edo-Tokyo Museum reveals the early life patterns and history of Tokyo beginning from the 1590's until the 19th century through panels, cultural activities and scale models. One of the main highlights here is the life sized model of the Kabuki theatre. The modern Tokyo section reveals the formation of Japanese life and culture from the 19th century onwards. Several artifacts from important events in Japan's history can be seen in both sections. The Edo-Tokyo Museum is also home to a comprehensive library that houses thousands upon thousands of books, journals and documents that pertain to Tokyo's past.
Visitors looking to stay at a Tokyo apartment hotelwhen vacationing in this culturally rich city should look no further than Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo. Considered to be one of the most popular Tokyo accommodationproviders, visitors will be able to relax in the hotel's contemporary atmosphere whilst enjoying convenient access to the main commercial and tourist areas of the city.

Terry, I hope to Gawd that you don't quit ! At least you have an opportunity to talk to her directly in the meetings and attempt to bring her back into reality and away from the "Book" that tells her every decision to make. In time, things just might change for the better.
In todays governmental agency structure there is room for improvement and a change at the "Top" is eminent. It may be time to start contacting our representatives that may interested in starting to protect our rights and investigate sub par management in their respective responsibilities.
Hang in there Bud we need your help!
It's like talking to a wall Pat. We tell her the issues, She gives us assurances and then does exactly whast she wants and justifies it by being in the guidlines? I would like to see this know all see all book! I am quickly running out of patience and I don't think there will be a clean up this year. There lack of support is putting the doom on it.

The AWL seems to be a rather frequent source of email.
There is only one wee little problem with AWL. The problem is the
score chosen for AWL. The score is computed in AWL.pm as
$delta = ($meanscore - $awlpoints) * $pms->{main}->{conf}->{auto_whitelist_factor};
This default score means that scores will be pushed toward the mean
of previous email messages from the same sender. I think this is
backwards. The goal is to use the information from previously
processed email messages to tell if the current message is spam or
ham. The goal should not be to make the current message be like
messages received in the past.
So, I think the AWL score should be computed as a percentage of the
previous score:
$delta = ($meanscore) * $pms->{main}->{conf}->{auto_whitelist_factor};
With this change AWL acts like a whitelist rather than a random number
generator. Known hammy senders will get negative awl scores. The
(very few) known spammy senders will get a positive awl score. Most
spam is used with random email addresses, so AWL rarely hits on spam.
Anyway, both behaviors could be accommodated by adding a 0/1 flag like
auto_whitelist_regress. Then the delta score could be computed as:
$delta = ($meanscore - $pms->{main}->{conf}->{auto_whitelist_regress}*$awlpoints) * $pms->{main}->{conf}->{auto_whitelist_factor};
Setting auto_whitelist_regress to 1 would get the current (wrong)
behavior, and setting auto_whitelist_regress to 0 would get the
behavior I think is correct.

The Daily Treat: AnnaSophia Robb's 'New Man' Could Be Royalty
Originally posted 05/30/2014 02:00PM
There's something very highbrow about the new man in AnnaSophia Robb's life: he has a royally paw-some name!
The actress has welcomed an adorable new puppy and named him Sir Fergusson, a title commonly given only at knighthood by the Queen of England.
"Meet my new man ... Sir Fergusson. I'm in love!" she shared with an Instagram video (below) of the tiny pooch barking at her feet. When she Tweeted a WhoSay portrait of the pooch, she also created a hashtag, #sirferg, in his honor. (In our opinion, she should take a cue from the famous royal folk across the pond and nickname her caramel-colored little prince Fergie.)

The Carrie Diaries Style Isn't a 'Joke Version of the '80s,' Says Producer
Originally posted 01/15/2013 10:45AM
The Carrie Diaries takes place in the early 1980s, but don't expect the decade's style clichés displayed on the show.
"Our whole idea for this was I didn't want it to feel like the joke version of the '80s with people in those thin glasses or parachute pants where even in the '80s we were all kind of thinking, 'Is this a mistake? It think it might be,' " the Sex and the City prequel's executive producer Amy B. Harris said during at the Television Critics Association panel to promote the highly anticipated show.
Instead, Harris says, she and fellow exec producer Stephanie Savage "are really trying to have fun mixing and matching – staying true to the '80s while also keeping the clothes as aspirational and inspirational as possible."
Carrie Bradshaw, 16, Will Have Her Own Identity on The Carrie Diaries

Creators of the CW's upcoming Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries, say fans should not expect a miniaturized version of iconic HBO show.
"We didn't want to do the Baby Muppets syndrome – 'Oh it's baby Samantha! It's baby Miranda!' " executive producer Amy B. Harris told SATC fans during a screening of the premiere episode on Monday at New York City's School of Visual Arts.
Instead, Harris and creator Candace Bushnell, who was also on hand for the premiere, hope to give 1984's Carrie Bradshaw – played by AnnaSophia Robb – her own identity and a new set of friends, reports Huffington Post.

Sure, everybody knows Carrie Bradshaw – Sarah Jessica Parker in the HBO phenom that kept Sunday nights ablaze from 1998 till 2004, then again in a movie that was hot and a sequel that was not.
Now headed for the small screen is The Carrie Diaries, based on the 2010 prequel by Sex author Candace Bushnell.
The pilot for the CW network will star AnnaSophia Robb, shown here for the first time in costume (designed by Sex and the City and Gossip Girl's Emmy-winning Eric Daman) as the young Carrie.

The CW has ordered a pilot episode of The Carrie Diaries, which will chronicle Bradshaw's teen days in '80s Manhattan, long before penning her sex column.

Assistant Professor of English
Dr. Jamie Calhoun teaches first year writing courses (like English 4 and English 15) and many literature courses, including Multi-Ethnic Literature, Women Writers, Black American Literature, and American Literature after 1945. She loves teaching here at Shenango and has enjoyed getting to know her amazing, hard-working students.
Dr. Calhoun's research interests include American multi-ethnic literature and social justice issues. She's working on a couple of articles coming out of her dissertation. One considers hospitality to the "other" (the outsider from one's self) as a kind of justice in two American novels, and the other considers the role of performance in contemporary African American literature.
Dr. Calhoun lived in Cincinnati before moving to Pittsburgh when she got the job at PSU Shenango. So far, she loves it here in Western PA. When she's not teaching or grading, Jamie explores her new city, heading to museums, parks, and especially looking for great new places to eat. She and her husband have also traveled the world together, most recently going to Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Indonesia. She's also been known to show off her bungee jump video.

Transparency and accountability: UNESCO's response to the Department for International Development 2013 Multilateral Aid Review Update
The Department for International Development (DFID) has begun consultations on the Multilateral Aid Review (MAR) Update for 2013.
The objective of the Multilateral Aid Review that was conducted in 2011 was to evaluate agencies' both on their organizational strengths and their contribution to UK development objectives, with these indices determining a score and 'value for money' to the UK.
In 2013, DFID will update their assessment of the Multilateral Organizations they fund with the aim of looking into areas which the MAR assessed as being priorities for reform. In UNESCO's case, four main components were covered in the response:
- results-based management;
- continued progress in reducing administrative overheads;
- increased transparency;
- focus on value for money and cost consciousness.
UNESCO publishes its responses on each of these points in a document that shows clear and tangible results in reforming the Organization. These results are available below:

Against a lurid background of postwar fighting in the Near East, Dr. Lovejoy has painted a vivid picture of a great piece of medical work and a great piece of women's work. The American Women's Hospitals were organized during the World War as the challenge of America's women physicians, who found themselves without a place in the war plans of the government. Arriving in France too late to see much action before the armistice, they nevertheless rendered some fine service in the war-torn areas of France but found their greatest field later in alleviating the suffering of the innocent bystanders in that great war game, the Christian populations of Turkey and, to a lesser extent, the Moslem population of Greece. The story is well told, and no opportunity is lost to hold up the utter inhumanity and the cynical cruelty of war. In the old hospital at Scutari, where Florence

Gorgeous! Love the variegated yarn, beautiful color!
Thats beautiful! Can't wait till I finish Skywalker and start on Clarus. I'm also using String Theory for Clarus but in Didgeridoo. Seeing yours gives me an idea what mine might look like. Did you do the small or large version of Clarus?
I did the small shawl. Keep in mind, that colors vary depending upon your monitor, etc. I took this picture in early morning light. It is much darker, closer to a deep wine with a multitude of jewel-tone colors throughout. Clarus was a snap compared to Skywalker ....in my opinion. Have fun with yours. :)
Because you used a DK weight, besides switching needle size anything else you had to do differently? I'm thinking of using a DK weight sock yarn from Cherry Tree Hills and was just curious.
Nope. I was on gauge with the size 6 needle but Laura suggested I go to a size 7 to open it up a bit. The DK weight I used seemed a bit thinner than some other DK weights I have seen. I didn't worry about running out of yarn as I was doing the small size. So, just make sure you have enough yarn for the size you'll be knitting. Good luck and post a picture when you finish so we can all see it.
Where is the pattern for this shawl? Thanks.
The pattern is available with Laura Nelkin's class Mastering Lace Shawls. You can also purchase it on Ravelry or by visiting Laura's website. Don't have the exact website address, just google Laura Nelkin and I'm sure you'll find it. Let me know if you have trouble and I'll get you the exact address.

I'm a trial attorney, so it fits in just fine as I never have time for lunch. What used to be "working through lunch" is now "intermittent fasting."
I'm a trial attorney, so it fits in just fine as I never have time for lunch. What used to be "working through lunch" is now "intermittent fasting."
I really enjoy hanging out with kidlets at home and doing all my "menial" tasks. The job I had pre-kidlets was in an office where I was a manager and worked over 75 hours a week. It was killing me physically, mentally and spiritually. Even my worst day as a SAHM has been better than my best-day-ever working. I'm so grateful that I can be at home plus it fits in with primal really well.
My job as a graduate student in biochemistry doesn't conflict with a primal lifestyle much... except the fact that there's free junk food around almost every day and it's hard to get nearly enough sleep.
But lately I've been thinking that after I graduate maybe I should try to get into a field that has something to do with human health/metabolism/nutrition so I can use all this information I've gathered in my spare time. =]
Primal, I recently stopped eating lunch, and I'm mad at myself for not doing it sooner - I can get so much more done this way!
My job is decidedly not primal... and as soon as I can find something with similar or greater pay and benefits that is more primal, I will go. I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day and do reception. It is VERY tedious and I feel automated.
Wow, where do you work?? Google? Hahaha.
@unchatenfrance: hear hear! You must do what you love, or you'll hate your life. That was my experience. I'm going to be 40 next year and I won't have my Ph.D. until I'm probably 41 or 42, depending on a few things that I really have no control over. But I'd rather have it at 41 or 42 than not have it at all...
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

My Success Story: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread30615.html
I LOVE my job! It doesn't really conflict with eating PB. However there is tons of junk food and I am frequently too busy to get lunch. My only conflict is with all the chemicals. I use tons of them on clients and can't sell them the natural products I personally use because we carry main stream brands. I also have a conflict with the tanning bed. I believe that is not a good thing and people should get some real sunshine!!!
Dude, I'm a librarian. I am CONSTANTLY giving information that conflicts with everyone I believe, primal or not. It can get difficult, but just remember that everyone has to find their own way. It's their fault if they feel like crap & don't do their own research, simply relying on what CW is telling them. Even CW tells them to avoid the frosting...

Low Archive: Blog | Chat | Stories | College football index
Chris Low (1:03 PM)
Hello. Anybody ready for some postseason football?
David(Olathe, KS)
What do you think about Texas tech vs Ole Miss?
Chris Low (1:06 PM)
Really intriguing matchup, certainly the toughest assignment for the SEC teams outside of Florida. Ole Miss has the defensive line to hold up, but Harrell gets rid of it so quickly and Ole Miss isn't very strong at cornerback. I think it has a chance to be one of the better bowls out there.
Bryan (Tampa)
Any word on when Percy will be at 100%?
Chris Low (1:07 PM)
He said after the Alabama game that two weeks should get him back as close to 100 percent as he's going to get before the BCS National Championship Game.
Jason (Lake Jackson TX)
What are the odds of a split National Title between Texas and either Oklahoma or Florida?
Chris Low (1:09 PM)
Don't see it happening. The only chance would be in the AP poll and Florida is No. 1 and Oklahoma is No. 2. The winner of that game will be No. 1 in the final poll.
Cass (Memphis TN)
Who should get SEC Coach of the year? Nick Saben, Urban Meyer, or Houston Nutt?
Chris Low (1:11 PM)
NIck Saban all the way. Urban Meyer did a great job and so did Houston Nutt and Bobby Johnson. But for Saban to do in his second year what he did with that program is what coach of the year awards are all about.
Ross (Oklahoma)
Do you want to throw out a score prediction for the BCS championship?
Chris Low (1:12 PM)
56-52 ... How's that?
Chris Low (1:13 PM)
I reserve the right to hold off on giving you the winning team.
Are you a Notre Dame hater or something? I have never seen you answer a ND question.
Chris Low (1:14 PM)
Not a Notre Dame hater at all. What would you like for me to answer about the Irish?
McLovin (Long Beach, MS)
Do you think Tim Tebow will stay at UF or leave early for the NFL. Despite the MS this is a Gators fan
Chris Low (1:15 PM)
Tim said he was probably leaning toward staying. Honestly, I don't think his stock will go up or down regardless of when he enters the draft. You wonder, though, if the Gators win another national title this season if he decides at that point to walk away. It probably couldn't get any better
David (Atlanta)
Chris do you think we will ever have an 8 team playoff?
Chris Low (1:16 PM)
I'm keeping the faith and hoping. I do at some point, but I don't see it in the next 5-7 years.
Chris (Atlanta, GA)
Who do you think will win the Heisman? Do you get a vote and if so who will you vote for?
Chris Low (1:17 PM)
I've already voted, and my ballot was: 1. Tebow, 2. Bradford, 3. McCoy
Ross (Oklahoma)
Here's a Notre Dame question....What are their chances of having a 10 win season next year under Weis?
Chris Low (1:18 PM)
The schedule is pretty forgiving, but this year's schedule wasn't terrible, either. I don't see 10 wins, but eight or nine might be possible.
Ty (DC)
Corso seems to believe that the O-line of Oklahoma will overpower the Florida D-line...the SEC Championship game, to me, proved that Florida's D-line is capable of handling a bruising running game consisting of an O-line with several future NFL players... So what is your take on whether 'Bama's O-line if "fat and slow" versus Oklahoma's O-line being "quicker" than 'Bama's O-line? And would it cause the problems for Florida getting pressure on Bradford like Corso suggests?
Chris Low (1:21 PM)
First of all, I wouldn't call Alabama's offensive line fat and slow. Andre Smith and Antoine Caldwell will both play in the NFL for a long time. The Gators use Brandon Spikes a bunch in passing situations, and I'd say that role will only grow against Oklahoma. Florida's defense is pretty good, much better than Oklahoma's defense.
Nate (Atlanta)
TEBOW # 1. You must be out of your mind. 19 QBs COMPLETED more passes then he ATTEMPTED. Get off the SEC juice!
Chris Low (1:23 PM)
28 passing TDs and only two interceptions to go along with 12 rushing TDs, and most importantly, a guy that elevated the play of everyone else around him. The Gators followed his lead to the SEC title. Doesn't mean Bradford or McCoy are somehow inferior. Both guys had great years. I just happen to think Tebow is as good a college football player as I've seen in my lifetime.
Mike (Clearwater, FL)
The Auburn coaching search seems to be going all over the place. Any idea of whom is leading?
Chris Low (1:26 PM)
I wonder if the Auburn brass thought it would be this hard. They got Houston Nutt a big raise, and Georgia Tech is in the process of sweetening Paul Johnson's deal. Some of the latest names include Buffalo's Turner Gill and Florida State coach in waiting Jimbo Fisher, but I don't think the FSU president is going to let Fisher out of hs pricey buyout. I'd also keep an eye on Louisiana Tech's Derek Dooley.
Jason (San Antonio)
Chris, do u think anyone can slow down that explosive Oklahoma Offense?
Chris Low (1:28 PM)
Florida might be able to slow the Sooners down some, but I don't see the Gators holding them all the way down. To win this game, I think Florida might have to score 40-plus ... and the Gators are certainly capable.
chris (texas)
I have been watching college ball for a while now. Have not argued with most hiesman winners.... What do most people look for in a the hiesman voting????
Chris Low (1:31 PM)
How that guy played in the big games, his overall numbers, what impact he had on the rest of his team and how successful his team was.
Blake (Abilene, Texas)
Chris, McCoy and Tebow seem to have similar games if you switched jerseys besides Tebows weight could you tell them apart?
Chris Low (1:33 PM)
All three have had incredible years. Whoever you pick, you're going to have two groups of fans thinking their guy was shafted.
Brian (Orlando, FL)
Is it just me, or have the Gators seemed rather pedestrian on special teams the past few weeks? Some long returns vs. FSU, and no blocked kicks or big returns since the SC game. Is it the better competition, or have they been figured out?
Chris Low (1:34 PM)
Excellent point. Their kickoff coverge, in particular, has been spotty. It's also been a while since Brandon James got loose on a punt return. With how explosive Oklahoma is on offense, special teams will be critical for Florida.
Jake (SLC)
What chance do you give Utah in the Sugar Bowl? Is their D strong enough to keep the game close throughout?
Chris Low (1:37 PM)
Yes, I give Utah a chance. The Utes have played some pretty strong defense down the stretch and can score points. I think the game comes down to Utah being able to slow down Alabama's running game.
Austin (Atlanta, GA)
Chris, I am a very proud Ole Miss fan. Do you foresee Ole Miss making a legitimate run at the SEC West title next season?
Chris Low (1:40 PM)
With Auburn in transition and LSU down, there would seem to be an opening. Alabama will still be the favorite, but the Tide will lose a bunch of key seniors and likely star offensive tackle Andre Smith, who's expected to come out early. Plus, Ole Miss gets Alabama in Oxford next year, so it could be interesting.
Clay Utah
If the Utes win, should they recieve a share of the title since they are undefeated and beat the same team Florida did??? I mean come on when you go 3-1 in bowl games, at what point do you give respect???
Chris Low (1:42 PM)
The Utes just aren't in the same class as Florida or Oklahoma, but they are a very deserving team. If they beat Alabama, then I would have them as a very solid Top 4 team.
Brendan (Sevilla, ES)
Is there any chance of changing the BCS format to include the best teams in the nation rather than teams that get in through contractual obligation? The ACC and Big East??? Seriously? I'd much rather see a Texas Tech vs. Boise State game, at least those two teams have some right to say that they're in the top 8
Chris Low (1:43 PM)
I think we're pretty much stuck with what we have. Texas Tech is hurt by the rule that limits conferences to two teams in the BCS.
Bones (Johns Island, SC)
Hey Chris, how bad do the Gamecocks beat Iowa in Tampa? Do you think the new kinder, gentler Steve Spurrier will make a difference?
Chris Low (1:46 PM)
Kinder, gentler Spurrier? He's as frustrated with his QB play as he's ever been. The Gamecocks should be ashamed of themselves for the way they played in the loss to Clemson. This is a chance to make amends, and I think Ellis Johnson's defense comes through against Shonn Greene and Co.
Jason (Athens, GA)
Chris, please tell me that Mark Richt and company will be on the hot seat next year if they don't deliver at least an SEC championship??
Chris Low (1:49 PM)
What has the SEC created? Richt on the hot seat? Are you serious? The guy wins 10 games every year. He's won the SEC title twice in the last seven years and he's as classy a representative for the University of Georgia as you're ever going to find. Surely, you jest.
Derrell (Peachtree city Ga)
Do you think Julio Jones Alabama's freshman reciever would be a top 20 pick in the draft this year if he were elligible
Chris Low (1:51 PM)
If I were an NFL scout, I'd have to take a long look at him. He sure looks NFL-ready with his size, hands and strength. His adjustments on the ball while it's in the air are just something you don't see every day as a freshman. One on one, he's so difficult to cover and simply doesn't go down on the first hit.
Ralph (ATL, GA)
Who do you think will have a bigger day in the Capitol One Bowl: Knowshon or Javon Ringer?
Chris Low (1:53 PM)
Ringer will get more carries, and Moreno will get more yards.
Jason (Norman, OK)
Your title says it all, you covered the SEC for a decade. Dont you think your a little biased even though you might not see it? I mean Tebow over Bradford! Its obvious you have not watch a single game of him playing.
Chris Low (1:56 PM)
Where were you in 2003 when I voted for Jason White?
Jordan (Melbourne, FL)
Do you think there s there any chance Stafford and/or Moreno will be back next year to make a more legitimate shot at a SEC/BCS title given that they didn't get the national attention that everyone expected this year?
Chris Low (1:57 PM)
I'd place Stafford at about 90 percent gone and Moreno around 80 percent.
Forde, Charlotte
Who will come in after Spurrier? Will USC appoint a "coach in waiting" in Ellis Johnson or Spurrier Jr?
Chris Low (1:58 PM)
I'd like to see Ellis Johnson get a chance if the Gamecocks go that route. He knows that state, has head coaching experience and is a strong leader.
Chris Low (1:58 PM)
Wade (Houston, TX)
Why are you backtracking now? Your other article said Florida would beat OU!! No bias on your part huh???
Chris Low (1:59 PM)
And I still believe that.
Eric (Venice, CA)
Chris, You do not think USC's #1 defense would slow down OU??? OU has not played a defense in the top 50 all year.
Chris Low (2:01 PM)
I think Oklahoma is good enough offensively that the Sooners would score a bunch of points against anybody they play this season.
Chris Low (2:03 PM)
Thanks for the questions. I'm sure we'll debate the Tebow/Bradford/McCoy thing some more next week and I'm looking forward to it.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Salomon XLT (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/49599-salomon-xlt.html)
Salomon XLT
Hi all
Does anyone have any thoughts about or experience with this board? I'm looking at the Salomon XLT with Salomon Caliber bindings and Malamute boots (or maybe the F4.0). This is the setup that Salomon seem to recommend and I also like the idea of a one-stop shop.
I had a Salomon LOFT from the 2008-2009 range for years which I got really attached to but alas the edge and flex past the points of no return. It was fast, light, versatile, solid, had a great base, had flex between the feet but longitudinal stiffness, great edge hold and I know it's not a powder board but I found it pretty good really as long as I put the weight on the back foot.
To be honest I would just go and buy a new one but they don't make it anymore. I read with interest The Good Ride's review of the Salomon XLT and noted the fact they said it was a lot like the LOFT:
Salomon XLT Snowboard Review
This sounds good to me. I've done some digging on the internet but don't find as much information about this board as I would have hoped. I did like what these guys had to say too:
A Week at Whistler: Gear Highlights
Buy Snowboards Salomon Snowboards XLT Snowboard 2012
About me: I mainly carve, use the edges of the board and I like wide slopes and big turns, speed in good conditions, some freeriding, I go off the sides and play in the powder when I can. I don't do any tricks or jumps or go near the park or pipe and generally like to keep the board on the ground :) I'm a pretty solid rider I guess; probably intermediate-advanced depending on how you look at it seeing as I don't do any fancy stuff or freestyle.
Some more background: right now I have a Burton Vapor with Prophecy bindings from last season which I got at a very good price. I know it's a good board and highly rated but I just don't love it like I thought I would. It is great when conditions are good but just falls to pieces in my view in choppy or hard conditions and/or later in the day when the skiers have churned up the pistes. I tried a Custom and it was fine but a bit dull and a Custom X but that thing was like a tank. I'm also a bit tired of Burton who are just shoved in your face everywhere in Switzerland and I also don't like the channel system - for some reason I find this really fiddly to adjust as opposed to the common four-screw system. I definitely need new boots anyway so I thought all in all, why not look for something else.
Thanks for any input!
I would love to hear comments on the Man's Board too... see that mentioned positively a lot. Could also be an option. Perhaps the 4.0 over the Malamute boots for that.
I haven't managed to find out anything more substantial about the XLT. A few short clips on YouTube talking about the new tech but nothing to really go on. It occurs to me after talking to a few people that the XLT might be that little bit too narrow for US 11 boots (feet size UK 10). Maybe could offset that with the lower profile 4.0 boots and my angled stance. It's 3mm narrower than my old LOFT, go figure. Maybe thinking too hard about this though, heh. I guess I could wait for the test days coming up. Another factor is that I'm 11kg lighter than last season now at 81kg (and I'm just about 180cm tall). Man's Board continues to be recommended. It's mostly camber anyway and still solid and hard charging and the 162 sounds like it would work. Perhaps the Burner too but seems to be just an out-and-out straight-liner. At this stage it's going to be one of these three boards though - Burton is out for me (sorry Burton fans). I will do some more digging, maybe call Salomon and see what they have to say. Seems hard to find a dealer in Switzerland that has a good Salomon range. To be honest if they still made the LOFT I would just buy another one. I loved the stiffness and stability at speed but it had that little bit of flex between the feet feeling that made it special everywhere else.
Well I got the F4.0 boots anyway. They are wonderful, very cool and snug. I found a dealer that can get me a test on the XLT and Burner next month. Can't find a 2012 Man's Board so that's probably out (2013 design - not carrying that around). So, we shall see.
Hope you're still around. I'm in a very similar situation to yours. I own a Salomon L.O.F.T. and was thinking of buying the Burner. It seems to me from what I read that the Burner is even more responsive compared to the XLT. However, I'm curious what your opinion is and which one you ended up getting.
Nice to see you two come back from the dead.
Did you forget to get off the lift at some point. :dunno:
Came again, this time prompted by the password reset notice... :D I'm still curios about someguy's next snowboard purchase. Maybe we'll have the same board the 3rd time around too! :)

Press Release
HEFCE agrees continuation of special funding to the School of Advanced Study
Release date: 1 February 2013
The School of Advanced Study (SAS) at the University of London is delighted to announce the successful outcome of its funding review by HEFCE, the Higher Education Funding Council for England. In a report published today, HEFCE announced that public funding for the School would be continued at the current level on the basis of a rolling five-year grant.
HEFCE's decision, in an especially competitive public funding climate for higher education, reinforces the importance of the public benefit delivered by the School as a national, and critically, neutral research hub. 'This investment enables the School to provide a national research space which is tended by specialists whose primary duty is to nurture the intellectual advances and interconnections of other scholars.' The HEFCE review panel, chaired by Professor Edward Acton, further concluded that the School's location in London is both 'appropriate and helps to create an environment uniquely suited to perform a national role in research facilitation and promotion for the public good' and that its national role be developed to ensure its reach is extended well beyond London.
The School is uniquely well-placed to continue and increase its invaluable contribution to high quality research in the humanities and related social sciences. '[It] ... provides a space which allows scholars to explore issues without an institutional agenda, thus reducing the reliance on competition to generate excellence. It also brings together diverse opinions on the preoccupations of particular subjects including their conflicting intellectual currents, and encourages interdisciplinary dialogue. We believe that this neutral vantage point also makes SAS a potentially valuable forum in national dialogue on research policy issues and priorities affecting the humanities and related social sciences.'
Professor Roger Kain CBE FBA, Dean and Chief Executive of the School of Advanced Study, said 'The Acton Report signals a defining moment in the history of the School of Advanced Study. Continued funding, maintained at the current level in today's funding climate, is an excellent outcome. It recognises the success of crucial work already undertaken as well as the potential to continue to develop and build the School into an indispensable component of the UK humanities research infrastructure.'
Professor Sir Adrian Smith, Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, said: 'The very positive outcome of HEFCE's review is a vote of confidence in the School, its Institutes and Roger Kain's leadership. The vital role that SAS plays in the world of the humanities has long been a major asset in the academic life of the nation, and the University is looking forward to nurturing and developing the School and its influence both in the UK and internationally.'
The 2012 HEFCE review report is available from the HEFCE website at www.hefce.ac.uk/about/staff/board/hefceboardpapers/2012/149/

2 large white or purple eggplants
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to toss with the pasta
1 cup MimicCreme or alternative (page 3), or 1 cup soy milk plus
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 pound fettuccine noodles (or use the Pasta Guide on page 47 to make
your own!)
1 bulb fennel, sliced thinly
½ large yellow onion, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
1-½ cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, quartered
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed well
Fennel fronds, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take the eggplants, prick all over with a fork, and brush lightly with olive oil. Roast them in the oven for 30 for 45 minutes, or until soft, turning them over after 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
If you're not using MimicCreme, mix the soy milk and apple cider vinegar together and set aside to coagulate.
Cook the pasta until al dente, drain well, and toss with a little extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
Heat the ⅓ cup of oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and sauté the fennel, onion, and herbs for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add white wine and lemon juice, then simmer until the liquid reduces and the veggies are tender.
Once the eggplants are cooled, slice in half lengthwise and scoop the innards into a blender or food processor. Add the MimicCreme and garlic and blend until smooth and saucelike. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the fennel mixture, and mix in well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the spinach to the sauce, and lower the heat to low.
Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, then serve over pasta and garnish with fresh fennel fronds.

It's always handy to know what (prospective)users would like to see in
their choice of OS. Somehow guarantees that users will keep using openSUSE

I think this approach should apply to all software.

Why? Well, with its simple, unassuming appearance, the Famous Drinking Bird actually demonstrates several scientific principles with the assistance of an ordinary glass of water. The dichloromethane contained inside of it has a low boiling point that allows the Famous Drinking Bird to operate as a heat engine at room temperature. Other concepts demonstrated include: the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, the combined gas law, heat of vaporization, the ideal glass law, torque and center of mass, wet-bulb temperature, and capillary action of the included wicking felt.
But even if none of that is of any interest to you, you can enjoy the novelty of watching a body that keeps moving as long as you can continue to give it drinks — just like that barfly uncle that the rest of the family doesn't really like to talk about.
Is the Famous Drinking Bird Really for Adults Only?
Why would I say that the Famous Drinking Bird is for adults only? Is there something naughty about this seemingly innocent-looking little fellow?
Well, there's a reason to be cautious about handing this over to a child without adult supervision, and it has nothing to do with the bird being… dirty. Rather, its body is constructed with real glass; inside that glass is colored liquid that can easily stain everything you own should the glass ever be broken. I suppose this is an improvement over earlier models in which this liquid was also flammable, but broken shards of glass still make poor playmates in the hands of children.
But under the watchful eye of an adult (or in the hands of a very responsible child unencumbered by the curse of clumsiness, I suppose), the Famous Drinking Bird can be used to entertain as well as teach the aforementioned scientific principles. One common fallacy that you can help dismiss right off the bat: the Famous Drinking Bird is not a perpetual motion machine! It will eventually run out of water, and you'll eventually have to "refuel" it — just like you have to refuel your car, which, as your monthly budget can affirm, is definitely not a perpetual motion machine!
Intrigued by seeing this weird-looking toy for the first time, or are you feeling nostalgic from playing with one back in the day? Whatever your reason for the fascination, you can get your own Famous Drinking Bird right now and stop gawking!
