Will Patrick Dempsey hang up his scrubs and quit Grey's Anatomy after one more season?
It would seem so, judging by a recent interview he gave to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, in which the actor, 45, suggested he will leave ABC's hit medical drama.
"It will be my last," he said. "I don't know what will happen with the other characters, but for me, it's done." He adds that the decision is "bittersweet because it's been a great part of my life. But I can't see me doing it anymore."
But wait, not so fast. Dempsey's publicist says those comments were taken out of context, telling EW.com, "He was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and we have no idea what the future holds."
Sounds like we might need a third opinion on the future of Dr. McDreamy. Paging Shonda Rhimes!

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
We were sent this tea last week but wanted to wait until we got some additional proof. Apparently, Drake and his father share more than matting chromosomes. They also love to share women. Are they participating in trains too? Father and Son are taking this "loving of the crew" thing a little far.
Disclaimer: Baller Mails are submitted by our readers and are protected by federal statute 47 U.S.C. 230. BallerAlert.com can not confirm 100% accuracy of any story posted.
According to Diary of a Hollywood Street King both Drake and his dad Dennis got it in with an Atlanta stripper by the name of "name removed". It's rumored that "name removed" is now with child. Who's the daddy? Did Drake have sex with his little brother's mother? Do you not have to use condom if you're back dooring your son? So many questions, not enough letters in YMCMBOVOXO to figure it all out. It's said that Drake and his father have been seen kicking it together a lot lately. Most recently seen in a Houston airport. Hmm....

Below is a photo of Papa Drake knocked out before getting some good stripper lovin'.
Now check out name removed talking to Papa Drake below. She also spills tea that Drake's dad was hitting Deelishes too!

COLLEGE STATION - Texas Agricultural Experiment Station scientists' research projects ranging from cancer treatment to drought forecasting to crop disease prevention have been awarded more than $4.2 million.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board funded the projects through the competitive annual Advanced Research Programs and Advanced Technology Programs. The Experiment Station received 31 of the 402 grants issued by the coordinating board statewide. Almost $62 million in research projects were distributed to 36 institutions. More than 3,100 proposals were submitted for the funds this year, according to the coordinating board.
"Our scientists are on the leading edge of research in this state and nation," said Dr. Ed Hiler, vice chancellor and dean of agriculture at Texas A&M University. "The funding of these projects will heighten our ability to address the needs of Texans and our neighbors worldwide."
The highest-funded project for the Experiment Station is a $215,284 effort to reduce gossypol in cottonseed. It is the project of Dr. Jean Gould, plant physiologist and assistant professor of forest science.
Gossypol is a toxic substance in cottonseed that must be extracted to make the seed and oil edible for humans or livestock.
Projects funded that include local researchers are:
n The use of the Dopplar radar and the NPET network as an early warning system for sorghum ergot, $175,000 to Dr. Charles M. Rush, professor of plant pathology, and Dr. Fekede Workneh, assistant research scientist, both at the Research and Extension Center-Amarillo.
n Identifying and mapping leaf rust resistant genes in wheat, $147,000 to Dr. Jackie Rudd, associate professor of soil and crop sciences at the Researcher and Extension Center-Amarillo, and Dr. John Mullet, professor of biochemistry and director of the Institute of Plant Genomics and Biotechnology.
n Conservation of nitrogen and phosphorus in open-lot cattle feed yards, $71,780 to Dr. Wayne Greene, animal science professor at the Research and Extension Center-Amarillo.

But no, this isn't some sort of price cut or cheaper way to pick up a 360... Just another option. This could be a way to get people to keep paying for an old system if the new Xbox is released within 2 years... BUT this could just be MS testing the waters to see if such a payment system could work for the 360's successor. If MS isn't able to sell the new hardware for the usual $200-400 and expects the cost to be higher, this could be their way of releasing a $600+ system without the backlash that the Playstation 3 suffered. Aren't rumors saying that the following Xbox will heavily rely on a Live! Gold membership? Seems like cell phone marketing for sure but without the internet/data coming from another provider.

This solution would require that every principal in the application have its own process and that all communication between principals take place through RPC. Note that in a well designed application (one that observes POLA) there is a one to many relationship between actual users and principals. Every time the software designer practices encapsulation, another process would need to be created. Are you proposing a system in which it is easy and efficient to spawn new processes and do synchronous RPC?

A java.io.File object is not a capability. It has a public contructor. It is a designator. The attack is to move that designator into another authority domain.

This example should be enough for you to judge that this is true. In fact, just thinking about the nature of the ACL model should prove to you that this is true. In the ACL model, the access check takes place at the subject. This means the subject has to perform the access check. This means that all access checks must be pre-existing in the subject. Every time I bring up a new prohibition, you rush to change the subject. How many iterations of this would you like to do?

Surely you can see that the ACL approach requires both the distribution of designators and the reification of the access table at the subject. In a capability system, the access table exists in the space taken by the designators. Should I, and others, assume that you are in agreement with the points that you've deleted from my response? You've chosen to not respond to, and delete, some of the more important points, while addressing some of the less important ones. > > > To allow some of the other features Tyler suggests, let us > > > extend this > > > example with a list of UIDs which are allowed to read > the balance: > > > > > > // User IDs of those allowed to read balance > > > UIDlist accessUIDs[]; > > > > > > // Request balance > > > int getBalance (int account) > > > { > > > // See if this user is allowed public access > > > if( ! accessUIDs[account].contains( getuid() ) ) > > > return ERROR_INVALIDACCESS; > > > return balance[account]; > > > } > > > > At this point, we can really start to see the exploding size and > > number of the ACL lists. > > Yes, you'd need to have a different list for each kind of > authority you > choose to grant, and for each resource that is protected. > I'm not sure > this necessarily should be called an "explosion", though. > After all, > in a capability system, you'd have a different capability > for each kind > of authority and for each resource, but I'm sure you'd > agree that this > does not represent an explosion of capabilities. The explosion comes from the complexity of checking the authorization procedure. In a capablity design, this check is carried out in tandem with the distribution of the designator. By holding onto the passed capability, the clients effectively cache the intermediate results of this authorization procedure. In an ACL design, you have to check the entire authoriziation procedure from start to finish on each invocation. The complexity of the checking code is proportional to the complexity of the distribution method of the designators. It's really nasty if there are multiple possible authorization procedures. Your getBalance() method is the first in your ACL design that is forced to deal with more than a simple one-to-one authority pass, and so is the first to experience ACL explosion. > > > For other features Tyler mentioned like giving my > > > accountant the ability > > > to read my account history, a similar mechanism would be > > > used: introduce > > > a new UIDlist for the required permission and check that > > > the user ID of > > > the requestor is in that list. > > > > So, do you see how the introduction of additional roles > is changing > > the actual code for your HalMint, not to mention making it > > significantly more complicated?

But in my case, you counted it as a change to the code > and an increase in complexity. In the capability case, you don't seem > to count it. As Zooko picked up on, its a question of where that new code goes. Your ACL solution requires modification of the subject to protect a previously unprotected authority. (Hi, David) Whose to say you even have the ability to modify the HalMint code? As a user of the HalMint, you don't have the ability to change the HalMint. > Yet this code is just as security-critical as the code in the Mint. No, it's not. That's the kicker. This prohibition has absolutely nothing to do with the proper functioning of the Mint. The Mint is only there to ensure that money is neither created nor destroyed during transfers. Your ACL design is putting additional requirements on the Mint code, and therefore, making it more complicated. > If > you make a mistake, you could be giving too much power to your accountant. > If you give this capability to the wrong person by accident, you are > giving away power you didn't mean to give. Adding the new capability > increases the amount of security-critical code and it increases the > overall complexity in terms of managing capabilities properly. The complexity I was talking about is adding checking of the entire getBalance() authority flow to the Mint, where it doesn't belong.

If you write up something that attempts the functionality of the MintMaker, the code will be larger. Moreover, the HalMint requires storage for all of the ACL lists, and runtime for checking these ACL lists.

The purses occupy the same amount of storage as your balance array. Capabilities are free, they are just pointers.

Published in October 1953 against the backdrop of the Cold War, the rise of television, and a robust advertising onslaught, Fahrenheit 451 has resonated throughout the decades. The enduring legacy of this novel can be found not only in the classrooms it proliferates, but also in the technology that surrounds us in the 21st century. So much more than science fiction, Fahrenheit 451 challenges readers to consider the distraction of electronic devices; to bemoan the lack of real communication between neighbors, friends, family, and colleagues, and to rethink that anti-depressant or tranquilizer that may be lurking in the medicine cabinet. Prescient and cutting edge even sixty-one years after its initial publication,…

Bad Bears go Visitingby Daniel Pinkwater Jill Pinkwater
Irving and Muktuk are cheating each other at cards when their polar bear friend Larry drops by for a visit. The bears eat cake topped with little fishes that Larry has brought, play a spirited game of volleyball, and afterward chat pleasantly until Larry goes home. "Visits," Irving and Muktuk decide, "are nice."The next evening, when all is quiet at the zoo, the Bad Bears sneak out to pay a refined visit of their own. When they arrive at the home of the Beachball family, things-as usual for the baffled bruins-get out of hand.
Irving and Muktuk: Bad Bear Detectivesby Daniel M. Pinkwater Jill Pinkwater
When a shipment of imported Italian muffins goes missing, Irving and Muktuk become the key suspects. Everyone knows their weakness for muffins and immediately think they are responsible! Irving and Muktuk realize that in order to clear their smirched names, they have to find the culprit themselves. They disguise themselves, sniff out some clues, interview possible witnesses, and try to find the thief. As with all good mysteries, the clues lead to a surprise ending.

After reinstalling my developement environment so it would run on a Windows 2008 server in 64 bit to accomodate the requirements for a future update to Sharepoint 2010, I found my self searching the web for guides on installing Sharepoint on a 2008 box, I've done it before but naturally I have forgot all about how to do it, so here's a guide to how you should go about that.
First you need to download the two updates for WSS and MOSS respectively,
just save them to any location you prefer, it's not important.
You need to copy all the sharepoint installation files to you harddrive.
open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where the updates are saved and type the following command:
Select the location of you Sharepoint installation files
It's important that you select the Updates folder for the extracted files.
Press OK, a EULA will be shown
Accept the terms and press Continue
Repeat the steps for MOSS SP 2
Select the same folder as before
Accept the license terms
Verify that all files has been extracted to the Update folder, and you are ready to install Sharepoint
SP 2 is a cumulative update which means that it contains all previously released updates, more info an be found at these KB articles http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953338 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953334

UK: VSO's 'Big Hand' campaign launched
07 December 2007, 11:42
by VSO
In 2008, VSO will be celebrating 50 years of sending volunteers overseas. That's 35,000 volunteers recruited from the UK who have worked alongside some of the poorest people — woo hoo! As the leading international development organisation working through volunteers, we want to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work.
On 5 December the world celebrates International Volunteers Day. Unite with VSO in giving a BIG HAND to all volunteers for their fantastic efforts.
We will be staging a huge Flash Mob stunt, aptly named VSO'S BIG HAND, in a central London location. We will be applauding volunteers everywhere for their contribution to the world.
The successful Flash Mob involves as many people as possible (so that means you and all your friends) as well as elements of secrecy and discretion. To find out more — register here
We (alongside you) will be flash mobbing in a Central London location (zone 1), between 8.30—9.00 a.m. In keeping with the general secrecy of flash mobbing — the location and time will not be revealed until a few days before we Mob. We will send an HTML email to update you — keep checking your inbox!
We will quite literally be giving a Big Hand to all volunteers. At a soon-to-be-released time we will give a signal (shout, a horn blow, a quick burst of song) and all mobbers will applaud and generally make a LOT OF NOISE for two minutes. In order to maximise the visual (and audio) impact — you can download your very own BIG HANDS. Please bring these with you — but remember to conceal them under your flash-mob mac!
A Flash Mob is a sudden gathering of people who form a crowd that do something unusual for a few minutes in unison and then disperse. For more information see our Frequently Asked Questions
... No problem! Why not organise a flash mob near where you live? All you need to do is:

Lower East Side
Take a look at all the latest results for the November 5, 2002 general
x-Sheldon Silver (Dem) 13,085 - 94 percent
Tara L. Meadows (Gre) 888 - 6 percent
Tara Meadows (Gre) is a body paint specialist and make-up artist who does
work for magazines and photographers.
Assemblyman Sheldon Silver (Dem), first elected to the Assembly
in 1976 and chosen as Speaker in February of1994, is a
graduate of Yeshiva University and Brooklyn Law School.
Prior to his election to the Assembly, Silver had a private
law practice and served as a law secretary to Civil Court
Judge Francis N. Pecora.
1. Rent Regulation: The current rent regulation laws expire in June 2003. Supporters of rent regulation hope that the current provisions will be extended for another five years and that the legislature will repeal the provision which deregulates apartments that rent for $2,000 or more a month. The State Assembly passed such a bill this year, but it died in the Senate in the face of opposition from Majority Leader Joseph Bruno. If the Legislature does not take concerted action in June, rent regulation in New York City will end.
In 2002 Assemblymember Silver voted in favor of repealing vacancy decontrol, the law that permits landlords to increase rent 18 percent automatically whenever a tenant moves out.
2. Commuter Tax: In 1999, when the State Legislature repealed the Commuter Tax, the city's economy was good. Reinstatement of the Commuter Tax is likely to come up again this Spring as the City's economy takes a turn for the worse.
In 1999 Assemblymember Silver voted in favor of repealing the commuter tax .
3. School Funding: Even with mayoral control of the school system, more than 40 percent of New York City's school funding comes from Albany. Next year's budget will determine how much money New York City's schools will get from the state.
4. Rockefeller drug laws: New York's drug laws, passed in 1973 by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, are among the harshest in the nation. The Democratic-controlled Assembly, Republican-controlled Senate, and the Governor have not been able to agree on how to reform these laws, look for renewed negotiations and new legislation in the next term.
5. Minimum Wage: Currently set at $5.15 an hour, Democrats will likely propose raising the minimum wage to $6.75 an hour, a proposal that passed the Assembly, but failed to ever get to the floor of the Senate last year.
Raising Minimum Wage - vote on A5132In 2002 Assemblymember Silver voted in favor of raising the minimum wage.
6. Sexual Orientation Non Discrimination Act: This has been floating around the New York State Legislature for 30 years, with the Governor's support, it is likely to come up for a vote again next Spring.
7. Campaign Finance Reform: Some 80 organizations have proposed a "Clean Money, Clean Elections" bill for the New York State Legislature. Like the New York City law, it would establish a system under which candidates who comply with limits on campaign spending and contributions Last year, Speaker Sheldon Silver introduced a bill to provide two-to-one public matching of campaign contributions. The bill passed the Assembly, but it died in the Senate in the face of opposition from Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.
In 2002 Assemblymember Silver voted in favor of two-to-one public matching of campaign contributions.
Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act
The Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act adds actual or

New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver accused Governor George E. Pataki Friday of damaging
downtown recovery efforts by planning to send jobs out of
the area. Silver, whose district includes the World Trade
Center area, sent Pataki a toughly worded letter urging
Pataki to rescind his plan to relocate 271 state workers
from offices in Lower Manhattan to Harlem.

Yesterday, the New York State Assembly came
up with $37 million in extra school aid to help every New
York City classroom connect to the Internet. The money,
which came out of a construction fund controlled by Speaker
Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan), was an addition to the $163
million state-budget increase allocated for city schools.
(New York Post)
1, 2002
New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver took exception yesterday to Governor George E.
Pataki's plan to build a memorial at the World Trade Center
site, saying that Pataki was too quick to make plans for a
memorial. Silver says any plans for the site should be
subject to public hearings and discussion.

Penguins escape with overtime win against Islanders
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- The Pittsburgh Penguins bounced back from their home disappointment and dished out their fair share to the suddenly shocked New York Islanders.
All it took was Sidney Crosby and a very powerful power play to do the trick.
Chris Kunitz scored his second man-advantage goal of the game 8 minutes, 44 seconds into overtime, off the third assist of the day by Crosby, and the Penguins rode a slew of ups and downs Sunday en route to a 5-4 victory over the Islanders that gave top-seeded Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.
The Islanders came in still enjoying the positive effects of their 4-3 comeback win on Friday in Pittsburgh that gave them a surprising split of the first two games of the Eastern Conference series.
The Penguins will try to take a commanding 3-1 lead Tuesday on Long Island.
Crosby, playing his second game after missing a month because of a broken jaw, drew the decisive penalty against Brian Strait, who held the Penguins captain as he drove the net 33 seconds before the winning goal.
"He kind of wrapped me up," Crosby said. "I pulled up looking for someone. I didn't see anyone so I thought I would take it to the net. We were hoping we could get it done quickly."
The Penguins went 3-for-5 on the power play and yielded Kyle Okposo's short-handed goal, but held New York scoreless on its three advantages.
"We had our chances. They scored on the power plays and we didn't," said Islanders coach Jack Capuano, who declined to comment on the officiating.
When New York scored twice in the first 5:41 to go up 2-0 in Game 3, old Nassau Coliseum rocked as it did in the Stanley Cup-winning days of the early 1980s.
The Penguins stormed back with a pair of power-play goals 19 seconds apart.
"You have to give them credit. They got up two and they showed no quit," Iginla said. "It meant a lot on the road to get those two back."

Just noticed the extractor pins are missing on my 586. It seems to function OK without them. Are they really needed ? Should I replace them ?

Yes you should, they affect more than just lining up the extractor and may cause you problems down the road. Smith may have them for a reasonable price and they are user installed rather easily.

Just got off the phone with S&W, excellent customer service. They are shipping the extractor pins at no cost ! Not a major expense item, the shipping probably costs more than the pins, but good service nonetheless.

It's a 586. I did compare it to a 686 way back when, couldn't see any mechanical differences. I believe the 686 is stainless and the 586 is blued or nickle. And, of course, the 686 is still in production.

TRENTON -- A Jersey City construction contractor pleaded guilty yesterday to bribing a Department of Veterans Affairs official for favorable contracts, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced.
Hitesh Desai, 42, worked on various construction projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to court documents. When two Desai-affiliated businesses applied to be placed on a list of firms that would be available for top-level construction projects, Desai promised a $5,000 cash bribe between last October 2012 and February to a VA official who was on the committee that compiled the list.
In a hearing before Judge Mary Cooper in state District Court in Trenton, Desai admitted to making two payments of $1,000 each to the official on Oct. 18 and Dec. 6. He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison or a $250,000 fine.

Chocolate Glaze for Cakes (That Hardens)
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 2 mins
This must be put onto a cold cake that has chilled from the refrigerator or it will not harden, this works wonderful for a bundt or tube cake, it may also be used for an ice cream cake --- this glaze firms up but does not turn rock hard
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄4 cup shortening or 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon water
- Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
- In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
- Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken enough so that it will not run off the cake (test out the consistency by drizzling a small amount over the top of the cake).
- Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).
Most Helpful
Really easy glaze, next time I will use all butter instead of shortening.
Wow, this is a great glaze for cakes. My kids loved the fact that the glaze "cracks" when you cut into it. We reallylike this and I'm already thinking of other cakes this would be great with. Thank you Kittencal for yet another great recipe.
A lovely glaze and perfect accompaniment to Kittencal's Moist One-Bowl Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake. I allowed the mix to cool for a while longer than recommended, watching the consistency instead. Being in the UK means the ingredients are a little different. For light corn syrup, I used the same quantity of glucose and since I haven't seen 'semi-sweet' chocolate over here, I used a mix of good quality dark chocolate (75%) and a dark chocolate with orange oil & pieces which has worked well. I think it would actually be classed as 'Bittersweet' in the US.

NBC (Fri., Jan. 19, 9 P.M. ET)
Kevin Kilner does a fine job as an alcoholic beachcomber in Hawaii. It's not his fault that his character is all over the map. One minute he's happy-go-lucky, the next full of rage. First he's relaxed, then anguished; lethargic, then maniacal. The schizophrenia doesn't stop after he puts the cork in the bottle to work on a batch of murders that have the same grotesque MO as those of a serial killer who had earlier driven him from New York City.
First Kilner is full of steely resolve. Then he gets all squirrelly and starts drinking again. In the next scene, he's back to crisp and lucid.
As the psychologist working with the police on the case, Maggie Han gives a strong performance, one which may help restore her reputation after the debacle of Murphy's Law last year. But all the yo-yoing of the hero—and his implausible dalliance with Barbara Carrera as a witchy widow—keep the movie from ever getting any traction.

BUENAVENTURA, Colombia Standing atop a hulking crane at this countrys largest Pacific port, Alejandro Echeverri pointed out scurrying workers below reinforcing pylons, preparing the ground for an extended pier and tending to a dredging boat that has been deepening the harbor.
Canal capacity
The Panama Canal can now handle ships 965 feet long that need a water depth of 39.5 feet, a size known as Panamax. Once the expansion is completed in 2015, the canal will be able to accommodate post-Panamax ships that are 1,200 feet long with a 50-foot draft. Shippers are already building to those dimensions.Source: Miami Herald
As the planning director for the Buenaventura Regional Port Authority, Echeverri says his job is to be a futurologist and try to stay ahead of the industry. Right now, the industrys future is high stakes and under the sway of a singular event: the expansion of the Panama Canal, which will make ships larger and heavier than these ports have ever seen.
The industry doesnt care what ports need to do to be ready or what it costs, Echeverri said. If youre not ready, theyll simply take you off their route.
Ports throughout the Americas and the Caribbean, including Charleston, are rushing to be ready for the expanded canal. Ports in Costa Rica, Peru, Jamaica, the Bahamas and Cuba, among others, are either expanding or have plans to expand.
Some, like Buenaventura, hope to receive the bigger ships and become a trans-shipment hub that will supply smaller ports with feeder vessels. Others are simply bracing for increased feeder traffic.
For the second time, the Panama Canal is going to divide the history of shipping, said Domingo Chinea, general manager of the Buenaventura Regional Port Society, who is overseeing the $450 million modernization project. All the ports along the Pacific are trying to get ready.
Fierce waters
The race for deep water is fierce. Buenaventura currently feeds much of the traffic to the shallower port in Guayaquil, Ecuador. But Buenaventura is facing competition from Balboa in Panama, which is emerging as the Latin American leader of trans-shipment and expects to see its business double after the expansion.
The Bahamas is working with Hutchison Port Holdings to stake its claim as the most modern container facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. With a depth of 52 feet, the Freeport Container Port already can accommodate the longer, heavier post-Panamax ships.
We have the necessary equipment to handle the traffic and if we need more, we will get it, said Ian Rolle, president of the Grand Bahama Port Authority. Having a harbor that is deep enough to accommodate these ships is key.
In many ways, all of the ports in the region need to succeed for any of them to succeed, said shipping consultant German Silva, Colombias former vice minister of transportation.
If only a few ports in a geographic area can accommodate the massive new vessels, then shipping companies may decide to cover the region with feeder boats, which ultimately increases the costs of goods.
Of 161 ports in South and Central America, only 21 have channels with depths of 50 feet or more, and 13 of those are in Brazil, according to data provided by the American Association of Port Authorities. Colombia, Argentina and Chile also have deeper ports. In Mesoamerica, only Mexico and Panama are in that league. But several ports in the regions have plans to hit that depth.
If ports dont get ready, they will simply be left out, Silva said.
What is clear is that the canal expansion, along with the regional building binge, will mean more Latin American countries will benefit from, and depend on, the canal.
Chile is currently the third largest user of the canal after the United States and China, and nearly one-third of its maritime foreign trade is transported through the canal. Some 37 percent of Ecuadors maritime foreign trade travels via the canal and 32 percent of Perus, canal authorities said.
Well see more Latin American countries making use of the canal after the expansion, said Jorge Quijano, chief executive of the Panama Canal Authority.
But the race to become competitive extends well beyond harbors and cranes, said Anton Edmunds, a Caribbean business consultant. Ports need to think about financial services and other infrastructure to attract shippers.
In Colombia, Echeverri watched workers pour fresh concrete to brace the port for the coming behemoths, and he marveled at how fast the industry has changed.
Just five years ago, the largest ships that pulled into Buenaventura carried 1,000 containers. Now, the port regularly receives towering vessels carrying 3,000 containers that can take two days to unload.
Few expected loads to double, much less triple, in five short years, he said.
The only thing that is certain about predicting the future of shipping, he said, is that well probably be wrong.

|Part of a loop through the SW to catch Wheeler (NM) and Humphrey's with a few days of vacation that I had. This was my second attempt as we turned around about 200 ft. from the summit due to bad weather in early March. As we summited the weather moved in and it started snowing which turned to rain about the time we got back down to timberline. We had our snowshoes just in case but the snow looks to be pretty much gone - oh well, better to be over prepared and get weird looks by the others on the trail that were going up in shorts and tee shirts - WTF?...

Date Climbed: Jan 11, 2014
|This was a winter ascent, but due to it being a low snow year, we only needed boots and poles to get to the summit.
We started off following the summer trail from the Snow Bowl ski resort, but missed a switchback (even though the trail had a good boot pack) when we reached a wide, obvious old avalanche chute that we went out to investigate. We ended up going straight up the chute hopping from rock to rock to avoid postholing and came upon the 1944 B-24 airplane wreck that was an interesting find. We continued straight up the slope above treeline to the summit ridge and followed that north to the summit.
On the descent, we followed the ridge to the low saddle with Agassiz and followed the boot packed trail down to the trailhead.

Descent very hard due to rocks and roots all the way, but only light intermittent rain. We met a woman who climbs this mountain every week (wow). This was the first on a five state highpoint trip which also included 12 national parks plus Mount Rushmore.

Okay, so I've been cooking with lard for some time now, and I've heard that originally oreo creme filling was made with lard, not the vegetable shortening crap they use now. So my question is
Has anyone used lard in place of butter/shortening in baking, and does it give the goodies a porky flavor? I am mostly referring to icing as in oreo creme or cakes. I've tasted bread with lard and it does not taste porky, but I'm wondering if the lard portion of the pastry is not baked, will it taste porky?
The lard I get is sort of a light tan in color and has a porky smell when heating it. Have never tasted it plain though, maybe this would be the first step...
Leaf lard is commonly known among bakers to be the BEST fat to use!! It makes the best baked goods (especially when used in pastry). Leaf lard is a bit different than normal lard, only in that it comes from the fat around the organs (visceral fat) instead of the fat you get on, say, a cut of pork belly.

A historic motor lodge restored to its Route 66 grandeur.
The El Rey has been a fixture on Cerrillos Road since the 1930s, when fabled Route 66 ran through Santa Fe. The five-acre mini-resort remains one of the city's most appealing vintage properties, with its 80 rooms and eight suites decked mid-20th-century modern furnishings, including handsome armoires, beamed ceilings, handmade wooden furnishings, willow shutters, elaborate tinwork, and kiva-style wood-burning fireplaces. All units have satellite TV, and some have fully equipped kitchens. Lacing the property are gardens, patios, and fountains---there's also a children's playground, a high-ceilinged lobby lounge where breakfast is served each morning, and a self-service laundry. The location on Cerrillos Road is not within walking distance of the Plaza, but it's only a ten-minute drive, and the hotel is within close proximity of many restaurants and modern shopping centers. There's free parking outside each of the rooms. This is a great chance to experience retro Route 66 charm without having to go without modern conveniences and luxury.

Absorbing Perfections: Kabbalah and Interpretationby Moshe Idel
This book deals mainly with material found in a vast body of literature designated by its authors and by modern scholars as Kabbalah. Basically a medieval corpus, this literature consists of a variety of schools, trends, models, ideals, and techniques.
Jewish Magic and Superstitionby Moshe Idel Joshua Trachtenberg
Alongside the formal development of Judaism from the eleventh through the sixteenth centuries, a robust Jewish folk religion flourished--ideas and practices that never met with wholehearted approval by religious leaders yet enjoyed such wide popularity that they could not be altogether excluded from the religion. According to Joshua Trachtenberg, it is not possible truly to understand the experience and history of the Jewish people without attempting to recover their folklife and beliefs from centuries past.Jewish Magic and Superstition is a masterful and utterly fascinating exploration of religious forms that have all but disappeared yet persist in the imagination. The volume begins with legends of Jewish sorcery and proceeds to discuss beliefs about the evil eye, spirits of the dead, powers of good, the famous legend of the golem, procedures for casting spells, the use of gems and amulets, how to battle spirits, the ritual of circumcision, herbal folk remedies, fortune telling, astrology, and the interpretation of dreams.First published more than sixty years ago, Trachtenberg's study remains the foundational scholarship on magical practices in the Jewish world and offers an understanding of folk beliefs that expressed most eloquently the everyday religion of the Jewish people.
Kabbalahby Moshe Idel Shahar Arzy
In this book, the world's foremost scholar of Kabbalah explores the understanding of erotic love in Jewish mystical thought. Encompassing Jewish mystical literatures from those of late antiquity to works of Polish Hasidism, Moshe Idel highlights the diversity of Kabbalistic views on eros and distinguishes between the major forms of eroticism. The author traces the main developments of a religious formula that reflects the union between a masculine divine attribute and a feminine divine attribute, and he asks why such an "erotic formula" was incorporated into the Jewish prayer book. Idel shows how Kabbalistic literature was influenced not only by rabbinic literature but also by Greek thought that helped introduce a wider understanding of eros. Addressing topics ranging from cosmic eros and androgyneity to the affinity between C. J. Jung and Kabbalah to feminist thought, Idel's deeply learned study will be of consuming interest to scholars of religion, Judaism, and feminism.
Kabbalah in Italy 1280-1510by Moshe Idel
This sweeping survey of the history of Kabbalah in Italy represents a major contribution from one of the world's foremost Kabbalah scholars. The first to focus attention on a specific center of Kabbalah, Moshe Idel charts the ways that Kabbalistic thought and literature developed in Italy and how its unique geographical situation facilitated the arrival of both Spanish and Byzantine Kabbalah. Idel analyzes the work of three major Kabbalists--Abraham Abulafia, Menahem Recanati, and Yohanan Alemanno--who represent diverse schools of thought: the ecstatic, the theosophical-theurgical, and the astromagical. Directing special attention to the interactions and tensions among these forms of Jewish Kabbalah and the nascent Christian Kabbalah, Idel brings to light the rich history of Kabbalah in Italy and the powerful influence of this important center on the emergence of Christian Kabbalah and European occultism in general.
