O Tempora, O Mores! What is the Internet coming to? yesterday, and again today I search
for something innocent, and get a porno site! I just now searched for Pyrex Glass inventor
and get a place that specializes in dildos. And what in hell is a "cock ring" for? I was too
nauseated to look.Please don't be cruel and tell me a Live Saver would fit me.

Now, wwh, I can't stand the idea of bear-baiting and using animals in do-or-die contests, but a cock ring is simplay a circle in which two cocks fight.
There. Think on that and set your mind to rest.

"Born Corinne Dibos in Paris to a wealthy family in 1925, Calvet studied criminal law at the Sorbonne before becoming an actress. Her mother, a scientist, was the inventor of Pyrex, a sturdy glassware that can be used in an oven. "
So, there's someone else on the Web who is said to have invented Pyrex.

Dear WW: I give up. Got to find something with better prospects to hunt for.
Back to Brewer, to see if I can find some interesting words there.

"Two routes by which Ostwald's efforts had an effect in America are interesting to trace. The earliest involved the well-known text, "Quantitative Chemical Analysis", by Albert B. Prescott and Otis C. Johnson of the University of Michigan, which went through a number of editions beginning in 1874. Prescott was one of the founders of the American Chemical Society and was its president in 1886. He is also reputed to have been the analyst who arrived at the figure of 99.44% for the purity of a common brand of soap. For the fifth edition of the book (1901) Eugene C. Sullivan (1872-1962), then a young instructor at Ann Arbor, was asked to prepare a section on Solution and Ionization according to Ostwald's ideas, which he did very well in about 4 pages. Sullivan had studied at Michigan, Göttingen, and Leipzig, receiving his PhD. under Ostwald in 1899 on trivalent iodine compounds. After teaching three years at Michigan, he was with the U.S. Geological Survey until 1908, when he went to the Corning Glass Works. There with W.C. Taylor he developed the low-expansion glasses later known under the brand name Pyrex, which did so much to simplify laboratory work."

Dear WW: My compliments to you on a superior job of searching.
I didn't know so many people were involved. Still can't remember my guy's name.
He was prof at MIT. Anyhow, he made enough dough that his widow really lived in style
for many years, in a mansion with many servants. MIT salary could not have paid for it.

Prescott was one of the founders of the American Chemical Society...also reputed to have been the analyst who arrived at the figure of 99.44% for the purity of a common brand of soap.
In 1959 my organic chemistry professor Louis Feiser made that same claim for himself, right after describing his synthesis of Chlorophyll and invention of napalm (which he then gave to the Isrealis in 1948). He said the soap manufacturer had asked him for an analysis of their product, but because of rounding errors the results totaled only 99.44%, not 100%. Making a virtue of a necessity Madison Avenue did its thing, and the rest (as they say)...
Professor Feiser concluded his comments with the observation "99.44% what? 99 and 44/100ths percent matter, that's what...! So what's the other 0.56% ?"
I have no corroboration of either chemist's claim.
Anybody know when the slogan was popularized? Prescott must have died in the early Twentieth Century. Maybe that would distinguish.

Per Symbols of America:
The idea for Ivory soap came to Harvey Proctor (son of one founder of Proctor & Gamble) during a Sunday morning service in 1879, while the congregation was reading from Psalms 45:8,
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, and out of the ivory palaces whereby they have made thee glad.
James Gamble (son of the other founder) had recently perfected a hard white soap intended to compete with imported castille soaps. Proctor convinced P&G to rename the soap "Ivory," and hired a chemical consultant to analyze the soap for impurities and compare it to three leading castille soaps. The chemist found the Ivory the purest, with only .56% of its weight in impurities, and so Proctor started marketing the soap as 99.44% pure.
In 1881, a batch of the soap was accidentally left in the stirring machine too long, and it dried with a small amount of air inside. As a result, the soap bars floated, and the floating bars were an accidental marketing success.

Jtrix is an open source Java platform for creating highly scalable, distributed, and efficient Web services. This article describes Jtrix, compares it to other Java technologies, and illustrates how to write a Jtrix application -- both a client, and the service it uses. You can download Jtrix from the Jtrix.org Web site or look it up on Sourceforge.
Jtrix addresses these issues. It's about creating and using Web services of any kind, and making applications distributed for reliability and mobile so they can move to new locations. Those roaming Jtrix programs are called netlets, and many netlets will work together to provide a highly scaled, distributed service or application. Each netlet will run on a node -- a Jtrix runtime environment.
But Jtrix is also about making applications sensitive to resource usage and need. Applications should be able to grow and shrink as needed, so they don't cost a fortune to run before demand increases, or when it shrinks. In the Jtrix world, the same application will cost 1,000 times less to run when there are 1,000 times fewer users. If you ran a dot-com a few years ago, you'll appreciate the business need for such an architecture.
Jtrix has been inspired by many technologies, most of them Java-based. As befits a highly distributed system, Jtrix is very peer to peer. But whereas JXTA is a P2P communications system, Jtrix doesn't care how its communication works. A Jtrix application can use JXTA if it likes, or it can use something else. We're actually considering using JXTA in a couple of places; if it had been released five months earlier, we might be using it already.
The 2002 O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference explored how P2P and Web services are coming together in a new Internet operating system.
Another P2P touchstone is Gnutella. In fact, Gnutella would be a good application for Jtrix, but this is only one possibility; Jtrix is far more general and is intended for all kinds of Web services.
Jtrix's concept of accessing services is very close to Jini, because when one netlet uses a service, it's provided by a second, downloaded, netlet. That second netlet may be a simple proxy or carry a lot of intelligence. But Jtrix is very strong on security, so neither netlet can trust the other enough to let it run in its own class space. The node ensures the two are separated from each other and itself. So Jini is suited to a trusted Intranet environment, while Jtrix is designed for the hostile world of the Internet.
Enterprise Java Beans are all about distributed systems, too. The EJB concept of an application is very much the client/server, three-tier architecture, whereas Jtrix applications are much more P2P and don't enforce any heirarchy among netlets. Also, EJB distributes objects, which again download into the client's class space; Jtrix netlets are separated, as we've already said, and they are more about delivering full services, not just single objects.
Actually, since EJB servers are much higher level than Jtrix, an EJB server would be an excellent application to implement in Jtrix. It would produce a very highly scalable and mobile application server with all the high-level functionality of EJBs.
We've already met netlet and nodes. A netlet must
implement the
INetlet interface. It is
described by an XML netlet descriptor, which tells
the node how to get the netlet's code, load it and initialize it.
We also know that any Jtrix application can provide or use a
service. A service connection is a two-way deal, and if
your netlet uses a service, then it must offer one in return, even if it has no function. The class
NullService provides a do-nothing service for this purpose.
A service is accessed by means of a warrant, which is an XML document. The warrant will have been issued by the service provider, probably to you personally, so that when you use it they recognize you. Then they can give you access to your "account" (your files, in the example of a data storage service), and bill you if needed.
To connect to a service, we say you bind to it. The node handles all connection details. Once you've bound to a service, you can access one of its facets, which is just any Java interface it offers. Getting a facet is also called binding.
Any of these facet interfaces will implement the
IRemote interface,
in much the same way that RMI has its
Remote interface.
In Jtrix, all interfaces start with the letter
I, just so we know what we're dealing with.
Here's a "Hello, World" program in Jtrix. We're first
writing a client netlet which uses a Jtrix "Hello, World" service;
we'll write the service itself later.
The client takes a warrant, asks the node to bind the corresponding
service, binds the facet offered by the service (
and then gets the message contained within. This code and more is discussed
in the complete programmer's guide,
"How to Write Netlets."
All of the Jtrix JARs and tools needed are in the download bundle
on the site.
First, here's the definition of the
package org.jtrix.project.helloworld;
import org.jtrix.base.*;
public interface IHelloFacet extends IRemote
public String getMessage();
Now here's the netlet. Most of it is made up of trivial do-nothing implementations
of methods in the
INetlet interface. The
method does all of the real work. (Note the British spelling!)
It binds to the service, gets the
facet, and uses it. It offers the
NullService mentioned above
as its side of the two-way service connection.
package org.jtrix.project.helloworld;
import org.jtrix.base.*;
import org.jtrix.project.libjtrix.netlet.NullService;
/** Netlet which accesses a hello world service using a warrant
* read from an incoming parameter.
public class Hello1Client implements INetlet
public byte[] initialise(INode node, Object param, byte[] unsigned)
throws InitialiseException
// Get the warrant, use it bind the service, and then get the facet
Warrant warrant = (Warrant)param;
IService service = node.bindService(warrant, new NullService());
String hf_name = IHelloFacet.class.getName();
IHelloFacet facet = (IHelloFacet) service.bindFacet(hf_name);
// Use the facet
return null;
catch (Throwable e)
System.out.println("Sorry, no message available");
throw new InitialiseException(e.toString());
public void terminate(long date, IShutdownProgress progress)
// Nothing to clean up when we terminate
public IService bindService(Warrant warrant, IService consumer)
throws ServiceBindException
// This netlet offers no services to other netlets using warrants
throw new ServiceBindException();
public String[] getFacets()
// This netlet offers no facets to the node
return new String[0];
public IRemote bindFacet(String facet) throws FacetBindException
// The node shouldn't try to bind facets from here
throw new FacetBindException();
} // Hello1Client
To compile this, you need
jtrix.jar and
on your classpath, and you can put both classes into
However, this client netlet is useless without a "Hello, World" service. So let's write that next.
To recap, a Jtrix service is anything that offers features and functionality to a netlet any time, anywhere. We'll get to the "any time, anywhere" part in a moment, but first, here are some examples of Jtrix services:
In fact, all of these services have already been created, with the servlet service being a Jtrix wrapper around the Tomcat servlet engine. You can download them from the site.
The "any time, anywhere" part of a service is a central principle of Jtrix. Jtrix aims to provide services that are always available to anyone who has the rights to access them. It recognizes the fact that servers are never 100% reliable, so Jtrix services tend to be distributed and redundant.
There are really only two necessary parts to a Jtrix service. The first is a warrant -- an XML document that allows the holder access to a service. The client netlet presents the warrant to its node, which then puts it in touch with the service.
When the node is given a warrant it downloads a new netlet, the access point netlet -- the second required part of a Jtrix service. The client netlet talks to the access point netlet, which then fulfills the service, most likely by proxying requests back to a central server.
An access point netlet is a bit like an RMI stub, but there are key differences. For one thing, the access point netlet represents the entire service, not a single object. For another, it never runs in the same class space as the client code, thus ensuring security and version safety.
We might think that a server would be an essential part of a Jtrix service, but this is not so. An access point netlet doesn't have to proxy requests back to a server; it could deal with them itself.
Now we know what a service consists of, here are some ideas of how we might construct a "Hello, World" service:
call back to a central server, which provides the message and
is returned to the client. Of course, the server is a single point
of failure, so we would do better with...
For the sake of simplicity, we'll implement the last option only.
To implement our access point netlet, we first need to have the facet that provides the message. That's
IHelloFacet, shown above.
Then the code of our access point netlet implements the
interface, just like the client. Here's the code, which we'll discuss later:
package org.jtrix.project.helloworld;
import org.jtrix.base.*;
/** Netlet which provides a Hello World service in a very simple way.
public class HelloServer implements INetlet
private static final String _facet_name = IHelloFacet.class.getName();
private INode _node;
public byte[] initialise(INode node, Object param, byte[] unsigned)
throws InitialiseException
_node = node;
System.out.println("Server started");
return null;
public void terminate(long date, INetlet.IShutdownProgress progress)
// Nothing to clean up when we terminate
/** Provide the service requested by the client.
* @param warrant The warrant which the client used for binding
* @param consumer The client's reciprocating service interface.
* @return A service connection.
public IService bindService(Warrant warrant, IService consumer)
throws ServiceBindException
return new HelloService();
public String[] getFacets()
// We offer only the IHelloFacet
return new String[]{ _facet_name };
public IRemote bindFacet(String facet) throws FacetBindException
// The node shouldn't try to bind facets from here
throw new FacetBindException();
/** A simple implementation of IHelloFacet
private class HelloFacet implements IHelloFacet
public String getMessage()
return "Hello, world";
/** This is the real implementation of the hello world service. It's
* handed out only through the bindService() method of the public
* (netlet) class.
private class HelloService implements IService
/** Respond to the service connection failing. If it does fail
* this netlet is useless, so we terminate ourselves.
public void terminate()
System.out.println("Service terminated, terminate ourselves");
/** See what facets this service offers the binding (consumer) netlet.
public String[] getFacets()
return new String[] { _facet_name };
/** Allows the consumer netlet to bind a specific facet.
* @param facet The name of the facet to bind.
* @return An interface to the requested facet.
public IRemote bindFacet(String facet) throws FacetBindException
System.out.println("Instantiating "+facet);
throw new FacetBindException();
System.out.println("Facet instantiated");
return new FacetHandle(new HelloFacet(), facet);
} // HelloService
} // HelloServer
The first few methods are how this netlet communicates with the node. It doesn't do much, but initialization does save a reference to the node for the future.
We can see that the service comes out of the
bindService() method,
which creates a new
HelloService object, defined further on. Notice that it provides one facet to the client netlet, which
is called by the
bindFacet() method.
This code is discussed in much more detail in the document
"How to Write Netlets." You should be
see, however, that writing a service in Jtrix is not necessarily
a difficult thing, at least when the service is simple. Also,
the service binding is a two-way connection (each provides an
IService to
the other), which can be useful if the client needs to offer facilities to the service.
To compile the code, we need
jtrix.jar on our classpath,
which contains all of
org.jtrix.base. Then we can bundle all of the classes into a single JAR, which we'll call
helloserver.jar. Make sure the JAR containsthe following:
HelloServer$HelloService.class, and
Next, we need to create a warrant, which every service needs. A warrant tells the node how to access the service by telling it about
the access point netlet. But first we need to create a netlet descriptor, which describes an access point netlet.
Our current directory contains the
hello1.jar file from our client
% ls
hello1.jar helloserver.jar
% jtrixmaker -type netlet -outfile hello-server.xml \
-jardirs . -jars helloserver.jar \
-classname org.jtrix.project.helloworld.HelloServer
% ls
hello1.jar helloserver.jar hello-server.xml
This gives us the netlet descriptor for the access point netlet, hello-server.xml. And now we can put this into a warrant for the service:
% jtrixmaker -type warrant -descriptor-in hello-server.xml \
-outfile hello-local-warrant.xml
% ls
hello1.jar hello-local-warrant.xml helloserver.jar hello-server.xml
This warrant gives access to our service to any netlet
that holds it. If you examine the warrant, you'll see it's very large
because it actually contains all of the necessary JARs. In more realistic
examples, you can upload the JARs to a Web server and supply
with their URLs. This makes warrants much easier to manage.
Now let's go back to our client netlet. That took a warrant as
a parameter and used it to connect to the service. Therefore we
need to create a descriptor for the client netlet and include this
warrant as a parameter. Here's how we do it, putting it in the file
% ls
hello1.jar hello-local-warrant.xml helloserver.jar hello-server.xml
% jtrixmaker -type netlet -outfile hello1-client.xml \
-jardirs /home/nik/jtrix/bin . -jars libjtrix.jar hello1.jar \
-classname org.jtrix.project.helloworld.Hello1Client \
-param {warrant:hello-local-warrant.xml}
% ls
hello1-client.xml hello-local-warrant.xml hello-server.xml
hello1.jar helloserver.jar
Finally we start up a new node. Here's the command we use and the output produced:
% jnode 211 -netlet-stdio hello1-client.xml
Jnode starting...
Initialising Nodality...
Bootstrap starting
starting hello1-client
netlet:211.0.2: Server started
Bootstrap complete
netlet:211.0.2: Instantiating org.jtrix.project.helloworld.IHelloFacet
netlet:211.0.2: Facet instantiated
netlet:211.0.1: Hello, world
We hit Control-C to stop the node, which would otherwise
carry on waiting for more service requests.
jnode command starts a Jtrix node, and the integer that follows is just some arbitrary identifier. This helps when we run node clusters. The
-netlet-stdioM option says that standard I/O from the netlets should be output, which is useful for debugging. Finally we name the netlet descriptor.
The output is from three sources, which don't appear in sync. We get the node's output ("Bootstrap starting," etc.), the service netlet's output (labelled 211.0.2) and the client netlet's output (labelled 211.0.1). This shows that the client netlet triggers the service and can then output the message. This is a complete Jtrix client and service!
We've seen just a little of what goes into a Jtrix client and service. There is much more we could talk about, such as proxying and self-redundancy. Jtrix doesn't impose these things on developers, nor does it even impose communication standards. It allows an environment for secure distributed systems, and complete freedom: we can use anything from SOAP to much lighter-weight protocols. It's up to the application.
A self-redundant multi-server version of the "Hello, World" service has been produced. It was written using a Jtrix framework called Beatrix, which has also allowed us to write the HTTP server, servlet engine, and DNS that we mentioned originally. The self-redundant multi-server "Hello, World" service required us to write only seven classes within Beatrix.
This introduction has shown how to write a Jtrix client and server, albeit briefly. For much more detail on Jtrix, see http://www.jtrix.org and in particular the document "How to Write Netlets," from which this information is taken. I hope this brief glimpse whets your appetite for developing high-availability, distributed systems with Jtrix.

A man and woman walk in the front door to a model home. What do they see?Most men will focus on a singular, long focal point (such as a wall of windows at the back of the great room.) Most women will see much more, with women's heightened peripheral vision. From the flooring to the ceiling details, colors, textures and other amenities, she takes it all in. As a general rule, for men think "spotlight". For women, think "floodlight". The view from the front entry foyer sets expectations for the entire home. That's why so much emphasis is placed upon creating interesting entry views. Take, for example, Design Basics' Kenneth plan. Though just 2351 square feet in size, the home presents a spacious entry foyer leading to a stunning see-thru stone fireplace and great room with cathedral ceiling and dramatic windows! Upon entry, your home can visually say it is something truly special!View Kenneth home plan.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Oct. 17, 2013) - The faculty in UMES' Department of English and Modern Languages is watching this semester with curiosity how colleague Amy Hagenrater-Gooding is using a 21st century approach to deliver a course that includes the works of 19th century poets.
A $10,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is enabling Hagenrater-Gooding to experiment with the latest trend in higher education – Massive Open Online Courses. She used the money to pay for specialized training this past summer and to underwrite the cost of a videographer for data collection and a student tutor.
In her grant application, Hagenrater-Gooding wrote her goal was "to study how students respond and learn with the integration of MOOCs in (a humanities) classroom."
"I wanted to give students a chance to see how academic discourse is modeled," Hagenrater-Gooding said. "Instead of the lecture and the 'I know, you don't' model, I wanted them to take responsibility for their learning. They need to do the work. We need to do the work together."
So far, the 11 juniors and seniors in her "Studies in Poetry" class seem energized as well as engaged by their roles as pioneering participants.
"It really stretches you – the way you think," senior Michael J. Taylor said.
"It requires individual motivation," said Taylor, an honors student majoring in sociology. "You definitely have to be interested in the topic. An open mind is necessary. Even if you have an understanding of a poem, you still may miss key concepts."
MOOCs have emerged as a much-discussed and sometimes controversial topic in higher education circles because tens of thousands of people can potentially tap into an online course – hence the description "massive." Some are pursuing degrees, while others are auditing them.
Critics say MOOCs devalue the experience of up-close interaction with professors, a model that has worked for centuries. Advocates say MOOCs utilize the Internet as an effective tool that breaks down barriers by delivering knowledge to a broad audience.
Either way, UMES has dipped its institutional toe in the MOOC waters with Hagenrater-Gooding's experimental class as well as a genetics class taught by Dr. Joseph Pitula.
Hagenrater-Gooding's poetry students meet for 50 minutes thrice weekly in a Henson Center classroom. They also participate "in the collaborative dynamic" of a "Modern and Contemporary Poetry" class taught by Al Filreis, the Kelly Family Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
UMES students watch online videos of 10-to-25 minutes in length featuring Filreis, who also delivers an occasional lesson via a live web-cast. Because he is based at an Ivy League school in Philadelphia, Hagenrater-Gooding is hopeful her students might be able to travel there before the end of the semester to see a web cast in person.
The poetry course is being conducted in what she describes as a "hybrid manner" – students log in to the MOOC for global participation, then return to the traditional face-to-face classroom for "insular UMES interaction." The classroom is "decentered;" students participate in a roundtable discussion and workshop of the poems covered.
"We're working out a lot of bugs as we go," Hagenrater-Gooding said. "The caliber of discussion has increased now that they have to be active participants in their learning. They can't just check out during a lecture; they have to play a part."
Assignments are submitted globally and locally. Discussions also are conducted globally and locally.
Hagenrater-Gooding assesses student performance in the usual manner – essays, quizzes, journals, peer reviews, discussions and tests – but the mode of delivery is a blend of traditional in-class lessons and online versions.
Taylor said "I'm glad Dr. Gooding is the instructor. She brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the class. She's great facilitator of information."

The nonprofit member group Boulder East is expanding and changing its name in an effort to get more residents to bus, bike or find other alternative transport to get where they need to go. The newly named Boulder Transportation Connections has an approximately $80,000 Denver Regional Council of Governments grant, a $65,000 community-investment grant and a $20,000 Regional Transportation District grant — among other funding — to encourage residents to take a bus or bicycle or to use a carpool or vanpool.

Pain is like an alarm system. It signals when something is wrong in your body. It may last only minutes or linger for months. For many older adults, pain may be a constant companion, suggests a recent study. It may even limit daily activities.
In the journal Pain, researchers estimated pain's prevalence among older adults in the U.S. They used a nationally representative sample of more than 8,200 people ages 65 and older. They found that more than half of study participants struggled with pain in the previous month. That equates to more than 18.7 million older adults with persistent pain nationwide.
Women were more likely than men to suffer pain. Not surprisingly, older adults with arthritis, osteoporosis, and depression also reported feeling more body aches. So, too, did those who were overweight or living with more than one disease, such as diabetes and arthritis.
The back and knees were the most common pain sites. Study participants also frequently noted pain in the shoulders, hips, and neck. What's more, pain was usually not restricted to one area of the body. Nearly three-quarters of older adults said they felt pain in multiple spots.
The researchers also found that pain may be a compounding factor for disability. More older Americans have problems performing daily activities. In the study, older adults with pain were 70% more likely to have such troubles. For instance, they couldn't walk a half mile, walk up 20 stairs, or lift 20 pounds.
Many treatments are available to help ease pain. But many older adults aren't doing all they can to manage it. They aren't taking pain-relieving medication. Or they aren't combining medication with other treatment options for the best pain relief.
Painkillers, such as acetaminophen and aspirin, can effectively control pain. But side effects can be an issue. For instance, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, and ulcers. The risk for these side effects may keep many people from sticking with pain medication.
Besides medicine, moderate exercise and physical therapy can help reduce many types of pain. Other potential treatments include acupuncture, massage, relaxation methods, and counseling. Science has yet to completely prove the effectiveness of these complementary and alternative medicine approaches. But some people have found them helpful. Talk with your doctor first before trying one.

Pain isn't a natural part of aging—you don't have to live with it. Your doctor can help you find effective treatments. But you need to be able to accurately describe your pain. Before talking with your doctor, ask yourself these questions:
Where does your body hurt?
Is the pain constant or occasional?
Is the pain sharp, dull, or burning?
Is there a certain time when it hurts, such as in the morning or after moving a certain way?
Does anything, such as medication or heat, help ease the pain?
Do you have any other symptoms with the pain?

Congratulations on completing this challenge and boosting your confidence in the kitchen. I used to be totally clueless and intimidated by cooking - roasting a chicken? Gah! Now, of course, I know that roasting a chicken is the easiest thing in the world, and I have so much fun baking with my boys. I've grown to get a lot of pleasure out of cooking for my family. I don't think I can commit to 30 dishes that I've never made before - at least not now, while my boys are still little and sometimes picky. But I will cook every day, and I will try something new every week. And I'll have fun following along as you create new dishes!ReplyDelete
this is awesome - i'm doing the Whole30 challenge starting tomorrow - we shall see if i can do it this time - last time i failedReplyDelete
What a wonderful challenge! I love to bake and to cook but if I was honest I would say that I prefer baking, simply because I do not eat fish, or meat and chicken once in a blue moon. I LOVE cheese, bread and pasta. So it makes life challenging.ReplyDelete
I hope you found some great recipes.
Take care and happy new year, Elizabeth
That's amazing Simone! I should do the same. Do you know, that's the first time in ages I've seen your blog in my Facebook home page! Thank God it was updated!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on the 30 day challenge. Now I'm hungry!
I love how you really went out of your comfort zone on this Simone ~ I cannot wait for the next one so I can start planning. xoReplyDelete
Loved this idea when you posted it, so glad it was such a success! Anxiously awaiting your next go at it.ReplyDelete
Congrats Sim!!! You're a braver woman than me I must say. What a fabulous range of recipes xxReplyDelete
What a fabulous idea - you are amazing - I wouldn't even get round to cooking 30 new dishes in a year let alone a month... well done!ReplyDelete

- Abstract
- This paper reports on the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to the classical scoring system of quality management assessments used in the European Foundation for Quality Management's Business Excellence Model (EFQM-BEM). Following a brief description of the way in which the DEA method of analysis can be applied, an illustrative example demonstrates the power of the approach in identifying meaningful exemplar organisations for each individual component element of the EFQM-BEM. The method uses these exemplars to set realistic targets in each component which are currently being achieved by exemplar organisations. Preserving rank order, the DEA scoring system is a radical development of the original EFQM-BEM system which overcomes the resistance to the standard component values often articulated by public and voluntary sector service providers in particular.

Western students raise $10,000 for well in Uganda
Local college students raise thousands of dollars to help an impoverished community in Africa.
As part of a class project, a group of students at Western Technical College held fundraisers like a poker and bowling tournament last month.
More than$ 5,000 was raised through various events and $5,000 will be matched by the Downtown La Crosse and Tomah Rotary Clubs.
The money supports the Remember Jesse Parker charity which puts clean water wells in third world countries.
The well will help a community in Uganda of about 1,500 people. "This has been a complete eye opening experience, very heartwarming and through the holidays it's just a great gift to be able to do, something that will impact people so greatly, just an awesome Christmas present," said Western student Kelly Cottrell.
The charity honors the son of a Western accounting instructor who wanted to find a way to bring clean water to people all over the world before he was killed in a car crash.

Commentary: Examining Social Media Breakfast Menu
Are Social Tools Opening The Highways To All Mankind?
By Ellen Foley Special To Channel 3000
Social media finally arrived in Madison this week (Jan. 18), and it was thrilling to see who showed up.
More than 300 of us packed into a hall at Monona Terrace to hear Scott Monty, global digital and multimedia communication manager at Ford Motor Co. His presentation, complete with video, PowerPoint and flashing tweets, carried the impressive title, "Opening the Highways to All Mankind."
It would have been laughable just a few years ago to think of a big industrial giant as a social media pioneer. But there he was showing us videos featuring talking puppets, and web pages on which you can build cars to your specs. Awesome.
Sitting next to me were the expected young media trailblazers, but at least a quarter of the crowd was middle aged as were some of the sponsors. Social media is not just for kids anymore.
Lands? End, Engaging Social, Google Places were sponsors as well as Suttle Straus, a company previously known as a printing firm. You only had to listen to the firm?s representative talk about its offerings of PURLs (Personalized URLs) to know that Gutenberg has been replaced by Google.
Our eyes got big when Ford?s social media guru talked about hiring actors to make web video mini-sit-coms about new car launches, and flying in bloggers for plant tours. Most of us are having trouble paying for our smart phone aps.
But it was fascinating to hear the questions.
?I?m Nancy Hansis from St. Vincent de Paul?," one questioner began.
St. Vincent de Paul has a social media program? I happen to know Nancy. If she?s tuning up this non-profit, your social media program better be as good at St. Vincent de Paul?s.
Most interesting was Monty?s advice that successful marketing involves old and new media. It?s how you mix it up that makes the difference, he said.
Those of us who still write in sentences were happy to hear that books, newspapers, magazines, local television and other legacy media still mattered to a 111-year-old car company.
We are lucky to have such an active group of social media volunteers in Madison. Wendy Soucie, an area social media consultant, and her co-managers at the Social Media Breakfast Madison have led those of us who clung a little too long to our typewriters into the smart phone world.
All that?s left to say is: TTYL. And remember, be awesome, dude.

Vt co-ops push for GMO labelingAP PHOTO
A customer shops for produce at the Hunger Mountain Co-op Tuesday in Montpelier. Vermonts 17 food cooperatives are supporting a bill that would require the labeling of genetically modified foods. The co-ops said Tuesday that their member owners want to know which foods in their stores contain genetically modified organisms.
MONTPELIER One of the most common questions these days among customers at Vermonts food cooperatives is whether the food theyre buying contains genetically modified ingredients but the member-owned cooperatives say they cant tell their customers for sure.
The states 17 co-ops announced their support Tuesday for a bill that would require the labeling of food containing genetically modified organisms, as more customers seek GMO-free food.
They want education and they want to know what has GMOs and what doesnt, said Krissy Ruddy, community relations manager for the Hunger Mountain Coop in Montpelier. Honestly, we dont have that information readily available to give to the people who need it.
The bill, which excludes dairy products, cleared the House Agriculture Committee last month and is expected to be taken up by the Judiciary Committee this week. But even if the bill becomes law, supporters expect it to be challenged in court by the biotech industry, as the state attorney generals office has warned.
GMO crops are attractive to farmers because theyre genetically engineered to resist insects and tolerate herbicides. Critics have raised health concerns about GMOs, although the Food and Drug Administration says foods from genetically engineered plants must meet the same safety requirements as foods from traditionally bred plants.
Last spring, the House Agriculture Committee approved a GMO labeling bill but the action came late enough in the session that the legislation didnt have time to get a vote in the full House or be acted on in the Senate. Supporters hope the bill will at least make it to the House floor this year.
The co-ops, which are owned by a total of more than 30,000 members, see this as an important step toward a national GMO initiative and mandatory labeling, said Ruddy.
The labeling measure has the support of 6,811 Vermonters and 175 farms and businesses, according to Rural Vermont. A survey sent to 8,800 members and customers of City Market/Onion River Co-op in Burlington last spring found that 95 percent of the 1,400 who responded favored GMO labeling.
About 18 other states are considering some sort of GMO labeling legislation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Last month, Whole Foods Market, a national grocery chain, announced a 2018 deadline for suppliers to label GMO-derived food for its stores in the U.S. and Canada.
The Vermont Grocers Association doesnt have a position on labeling, except that it believes it should be done on a national uniform basis, and governed not through state-by-state laws.
What we dont want to do is go down a path of having 50 different state labeling laws which would be not only expensive (and) complicated, it would hurt our producers whether theyre in Vermont or not in Vermont and add costs to the whole system, said president Jim Harrison.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Behind the Scenes1 of 11
Get the inside scoop on what your hotel housekeeper isn't telling you thanks to this Woman's Day piece by Amanda Greene.— Glo
For many people, arriving at a hotel means it's time to relax and unwind. They also make it easy to forget all the hard work that went into making them look so good. We spoke to hotel housekeepers and experts to find out what really goes on behind the scenes.
1. Not So Soft2 of 11
Those luxurious beds are wreaking havoc on my back. The same hotel amenities guests love, like lavish mattresses and stacks of pillows, actually make a hotel housekeeper's job a lot more difficult. Brigida, who has been a housekeeper for 19 years at a hotel in Toronto, has to change the linens on 8 pillows in the 16 rooms she cleans on her usual shift—that's 128 pillows a day! "Plus, each time we shake out the new plush blankets, dust and fluff fly everywhere," she says.
2. Beyond the Call3 of 11
Yes, it's our job to clean your room, but some of the messes you leave are beyond the call of duty. While some guests are so tidy housekeepers can hardly tell, others go overboard. "I've cleaned rooms where there's soda all over the walls and pizza on the ceiling," says Brigida. And sometimes the messes guests leave in the bathroom are so bad "it's like, 'How could you do this to us?' It's made some of my coworkers cry."
3. Eco-friendly?4 of 11
We wish you'd think twice about participating in eco-friendly programs. Many hotels are now offering green initiatives by letting their guests opt out of a daily room cleaning. And while the programs seem great, in some cases they can deprive housekeepers of much-needed work—and pay. "If 100 guests choose not to have their room cleaned, then the next day six to eight housekeepers get a call that they don't have to come in to work," says Brigida. "It's really hurting people."
4. Knock, Knock5 of 11
We don't want to wake you up by knocking on your door in the morning, but we have to. On average, housekeepers clean 13 to 15 rooms a day, but it can be as high as 30 at some hotels. And they're expected to clean them all in one eight-hour shift. So, even if you do put your "Do Not Disturb" sign out, sometimes they still have to knock. "If you're due to check out that day, the housekeepers must clean your room first [so it's ready for new guests]," explains Weiss.
5. Low Pay6 of 11
There is no standard hourly wage for housekeepers—even within the same chain. Because of unions, hotel workers' wages vary widely. "In a city like Chicago, where the majority of hotels are unionized, housekeepers make $14.60 an hour," says Strassel. "But in a city like Indianapolis, where there are no union hotels, a housekeeper at that same chain will be making about half that. There's a very wide range."
6. Dangerous Work7 of 11
We have the most dangerous job in the hotel. According to Unite Here, housekeepers have a 50 percent higher injury rate than all other hotel workers, and a survey of more than 600 hotel housekeepers in the U.S. and Canada revealed that 91 percent have suffered work-related pain. "The worst is lifting the mattresses," says Lisa,* who cleans 22 to 30 rooms a day. "My coworkers complain every day about leg pain, knee pain, arm pain, everything."
7. Tip Your Maid8 of 11
We'd love it if you would leave us a tip. According to Brigida, most people don't tip housekeepers. "If people leave money on the dresser or table without a note, we won't take it because it isn't clear that it's for us," she explains. "But leaving money on or underneath the pillow usually means it's for housekeeping." So always leave a note with your tip to be sure it gets into the right hands. Lisa says, "If every room left just one dollar a day it would be great."
8. We're Watching9 of 11
We see and hear everything. Just because the housekeeping staff is discreet doesn't mean they don't observe your bad moods or rude behavior. Brigida reports taking all kinds of attitude: "When we knock on their door and they don't want us to come in, they sometimes yell and swear at us. I try not to take it personally, but it's the kind of thing that can stay with you all day." She also reports many brushes with indecency: "Some people answer the door naked."
9. Pick It Up10 of 11
We aren't trying to make it hard for you to find your things. If you're the type of person who prefers to keep your belongings in a pile, don't be surprised if your room is more organized when you return for the day. "If someone has stuff lying all over the place, it is typical procedure for housekeeping to pick up the clothes, fold them and make a stack," says Weiss.

10. Tons To Do11 of 11
There's a lot more to preparing for a new guest than making the bed and stocking clean towels. Have you ever arrived at your hotel early and huffed and puffed because your room wasn't ready? Preparing a hotel room for a new guest can take twice as long as cleaning a room for a guest who is staying over. "For a new arrival you have to go through the full inspection list, which may have 100 check points," says Lara Weiss of K Hotels.*Some names have been changed.

And the cream will rise to the top I'm sure you'll proclaim Parky. But with the pathway now narrowed, are we accepting that we can afford to miss the late developers such as Peacock and the ones missed by SL clubs such as Hardacre?
No it won't. Schools and junior clubs produce RL players.
I read with interest the details of the 'partnership' between Batley And Huddersfield in the LE yesterday and the great benefits which the Bulldogs will enjoy such as private medical insurance paid for by the Giants which is great news for the part time players. Strangely, the article doesn't mention what's in it for Huddersfield. John Kear states that he already has a squad of 25 Batley players and that he has complete control over team selection and doesn't have to use Giants players unless he feels the need.
I got the impression that the arrangement is loaded heavily in favour of Batley which seems hard to believe. So if all that John Kear says is true, what's in it for Huudersfield? How are they going to justify employing an extra member of staff to their medical team in addition to the considerable additional cost of providing private medical cover for 25 Batley players if there's no obligation on John Kear to give the Giants players game time each week?
Such benevolence from SL towards the Championship isn't exactly what we're accustomed to.

What if it were the case that justification of our beliefs in propositions describing physical objects is always inferential and that it is always from propositions about the nature of our experiences that such inferences are made.? If this is true, there are two conditions that must be satisfied concerning inferential belief in physical objects:
(1) Statements about experience must count as reasons or evidence for statements about objects.
(2) Statements about experience must in some, no doubt rather obscure, sense be accepted by those who make statements about objects.
Maybe there's reason to doubt (1) and (2) by simply suggesting that that it is not always the case that most people are always in the "appropriate, sophisticated, phenomenological frame of mind." This is certainly true to an extent; so let us refer to this handicap as H. It may be the case person S is intoxicated with alcohol and his phenomenological apprehension may be malfunctioning or that S realizes that his phenomenological apprehension of the external world is not as it should be and is capable of recognizing malfunction.

This September, DC Comics explodes with 52 new #1 issues!"
I wouldn't use the word "explodes" if I were them. The last time DC had an "explosion" and launched a slew of new titles, an "implosion" soon followed. But, okay, that's ancient history and most people who read that intro won't know or laugh.

WASHINGTON – (Aug. 22, 2012) – Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin, Maryland's two U.S. senators, announced today the University of Maryland Eastern Shore has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to prepare high school students for undergraduate and advanced degrees that lead to careers in geosciences.
"These funds in the federal check book are about preparing our students here in Maryland for the jobs of today and ... tomorrow," said Mikulski, Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science, which funds the NSF.
"Science is the key to innovation and innovation creates new products and new jobs," Mikulski said. "These federal dollars will help engage Maryland's students in science and innovation and set them on the path to fill jobs of the future."
Cardin called the grant "an important investment in science education and in our State's future. It will enable UMES to reach out to high school students so they understand and appreciate the important career opportunities that exist in the highly specialized field of geoscience, a career path that can make a difference to our nation."
News of the award came on the same day UMES' Class of 2016 moved into residence halls.
"It's a great way to start the new academic year," UMES President Juliette B. Bell said. "And it fits nicely with one of our goals as a university to encourage future college students to consider science as an exciting career choice."
The grant came to UMES through the collaborative efforts of Dr. Paulinus Chigbu, Dr. Reza Khanbilvardi and Dr. Ali Ishaque, according to Moses Kairo, UMES' new dean of agriculture and natural sciences.
"I commend Dr. Chigbu and his colleagues for being the recipients of this generous federal grant," said Bell, who trained as a biochemist.
These new federal dollars will enable UMES to establish a "Network of Cooperative Science Centers and High Schools for Training High School Students in Geosciences." The program involves outreach to high school students, including presentations to high school juniors and seniors, about career opportunities in marine biology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences and remote sensing.
The grant also funds a six-week summer program for 13 high school seniors entering college and exposes them to the skills they will need to succeed in geosciences careers.
Chigbu, an environmental science professor who also is the director of the Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology, is one of UMES' most productive researchers and is responsible for attracting millions of dollars in grants to the university. In 2010, he received confirmation UMES qualified for a $5 million NSF grant now being used to underwrite the search for the causes of poor water quality in coastal bays along the Delmarva Peninsula's Atlantic coast.
