I stirred slowly from sleep when I felt her soft velvet touch on my shoulder.
With the sheet thrown back to my knees because of the hot night, my mind followed her willowy touch as she traced a delicate line down my back toward my buttocks. As she reached my waist I was suddenly wide-awake.
Aaauugggghhh, what the heck — a Miller moth.
The Miller migration is on and it's a good one this year.
When I was growing up we called them cannel (sp) bugs. I don't have a clue why, I can't find another reference to them by that name.
Regardless, we see them every year.
I came home the other night and my wife had been on the patio and left the sliding door open. About 10 of the little brown bugs were flying laps around the dining room light. We somehow managed to make it through dinner without fishing one out of an iced tea glass. As we transitioned from the dining room to the kitchen to the bedroom that evening, the Millers seemed to arrive before we did.
In the bedroom I quickly shut out the overhead light and left the ceiling fan going. That sent the squadron of moth bomb divers to my wife's lamp-lit bedside desk where she was removing her contacts and taking her nightly medicines. When I looked over she had a swarm running amok in her hairdo.
As soon as she turned the light out the Miller's immediately became interested in television. With the ceiling fan on high a foot or two from the TV the little rascals were having a tough time of it. Every few seconds I would hear a ceiling fan blade go "thonk" as it launched a Miller into one of the walls. Soon they began to settle down on the ceiling and walls. I counted a little over 50 of them.
In another life when I lived on a fly-fishing river, seeing the evening air swarming with winged bugs would have given me great joy. Here, miles from a trout stream I just shake my head when I think how big a mess these juicy little road bombs are going to make on my windshield. I'm not so sure the fish would bite on them if there was a trout stream in the area.
After being awakened by the bugs in the night I pulled the sheet over my head and slipped back into dreamland.
Next morning as I exited the front door a veritable blanket of sleepy Miller bugs trapped between door and screen dropped to the porch then fluttered away in a brown cloud. A couple flew between my glasses and my face and I entertained the neighbors with a funny little jig on the lawn. Miller bug slime and brown wing dust stuck to my cheek I jumped in the pickup and left for work.
At the first stop sign I lowered the window and shooed one of my little buddies outside. Miller time around here has a whole nother meaning.

Driving tips to keep students vigilant
MARIETTA – Inexperience behind the wheel puts many teen drivers at a disadvantage on the road, whether they're headed for a local restaurant during their school's open lunch hour, or just cruising area streets and highways.
Driving instructors like Dolores Holiday with Devola's Pioneer Driving School try to help their young students gain some of that road experience before they obtain their drivers licenses.
"For example, we encourage parents to let their kids drive on all types of roads, including gravel roadways or major highways," she said, noting parents often only allow their teens to practice driving on neighborhood side streets or parking lots.
Holiday said it's better for young drivers to learn how to handle a vehicle on all kinds of roadways while they have their learners permits and still must have an experienced adult driver riding in the car with them.
Over-confidence can be another issue for younger drivers, she said.
"They often assume they'll always have everything under control," Holiday said. "But we have students that I know will probably be involved in a crash within their first six months on the road because they're too over confident about their driving abilities."
That attitude can cause teens to take risks on the road and make poor decisions that may endanger themselves or other drivers.
In the wake of a two-car crash that sent four Marietta High School students to the hospital during their open lunch period last week, Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite said such accidents may be prevented if young drivers take a few precautions.
"Students need to allow plenty of time for travel," he said. "And they don't have to drive (as fast as) the speed limit. Stay alert and use caution."
Waite said seatbelts are important for both driver and all passengers in the vehicle, and he warned that a car loaded with chatting students can be a major distraction to teen drivers.
"Also, leave lunch early enough to get back to class on time without rushing," he said.
Holiday said wearing a seatbelt is the first and foremost lesson for her student drivers, and she agreed that teens are prone to distractions.
"You want to eliminate as many as possible by turning off cell phones or other devices," she said, adding that new drivers under the age of 18 should not have more than one passenger in the car which also helps prevent distraction.
"And they should not be driving at the posted speed limit," Holiday said. "Those limits are set for maximum road conditions, which rarely exist, so they should always drive below the posted limit."
* * *
Student Driver Tips
* Get plenty of sleep. Many high schools schedule students for the early shift-and that means teen drivers are hitting the road at 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. Go to bed early enough to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Try to unplug from all devices at least an hour before bedtime to relax and fall asleep faster.
* If you're too tired to drive, don't. Take a break, sit in your car and rest for a few minutes, have some water or a caffeinated drink, or better yet, if possible, call a parent to come pick you up.
* Watch out for school buses. It's illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. Traffic on both sides of the road must stop for a stopped school bus on an undivided road.
* Observe the reduced speed limits around schools. Check posted limits and flashing signs during school hours. Also, obey school safety patrols and crossing guards' directions.
* Wear a seat belt every time you get into the car and make sure all passengers buckle up as well.
* Avoid using a cell phone, texting, fiddling with the radio, eating, drinking, putting on makeup, and talking to friends while driving. They can all take your focus off the road.
* Be careful and allow greater stopping distance when driving on wet leaves and on wet roads which can be slippery in the fall season.
* Many fender-benders happen in the school lot. A good strategy is to come a little early before the morning rush and leave a little late, after most other drivers have gone.

ColdBox Overview
What is ColdBox?
ColdBox is an event-driven, convention based ColdFusion Development Platform. It provides a set of reusable code and tools that can be used to increase your development productivity, as well as a development standard for working in team environments. ColdBox is comprehensive and modular, which helps address most infrastructure concerns of typical ColdFusion applications.
In this guide you will have an overview of the main components of this Object Oriented Framework. Below are some good resources for you to read about design patterns and some object orientation goodness. Having some basic object oriented knowledge will help you tremendously during your initial stages of ColdBox development. However, if you are not an OO guru, no worries, the guides contained in this wiki will help you and take you to several learning paths of object orientation and software development. This is just an introductory guide, so you might encounter new terminology or features of the framework that you might have no clue about. I urge you to continue reading the guides in order to find a cohesive outlook of what is ColdBox.
- Sun's Core J2EE Patterns Catalog
- Catalog Of Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture
- What is MVC
- What are CFC's by Ben Forta
- ColdFusion CFC Tips
What are some of ColdBox's Novel Features
Let's discuss some high level overviews of what ColdBox can bring to the application development table:
We are firm believers in developer education. We have over 30 step by step guides and over 550 pages worth of documentation right in this wiki. We believe that by empowering the user with knowledge, the adaptation rate will increase and the ability of the developer to find what they need will make their productivity increase.
Conventions Over Configurations
Conventions over configurations is our motto. We get rid of verbosity of XML logic and use ColdFusion and a set of conventions for our applications. With ColdBox you can even define your own application layouts and conventions. This gives great flexibility to developers who are used to their own application layouts and conventions. Conventions are also used for registering events, interceptors, plugins and much more. The use of conventions over configurations is what makes ColdBox unique.
ColdFusion Controllers instead of XML Controllers
ColdBox doesn't rely on XML declarative logic where you have to define an event, what it does and where does it go. ColdBox is a conventions based framework that will let you program in ColdFusion to get things done. You basically expose methods on event handler CFC's (Controller Layer) by turning their access to public or remote. The framework then will auto-register the handler CFC's and now you are able to use the methods as ColdBox Events. So instead of working with a long and complex configuration file all the time, you are mostly working with ColdFusion code all the time, ColdBox is just an API.
Modular Architecture
ColdBox is built on the concepts of modular architecture and sports a wide array of best practices, tools and services to help you build applications using modules instead of a big monolithic application. Even the framework itself assembles its internal modules once your application loads up and only uses what you tell it to use. ColdBox can be as simple as just core MVC or complex enough to power mission critical enterprise applications.
RESTFul Services
We encourage you to build applications that can be organized around resources and standard HTTP verbs, especially for exposing services to multi-faceted applications. We have incredible URL mapping and RESTful support that will help you build not only MVC applications but also power any mobile application.
Aspect programming
ColdBox comes bundled with an extensive set of plugins and interceptors that will help you on every day software application tasks like notifications, AOP file logging with auto-archiving, per-environment settings, storage facilities for cluster environments, object caching, datasource declarations, web services integrations, i18n, dependency injection, application security, and so much more. ColdBox is not only an MVC framework but a development platform.
Unit Testing, Mocking, Stubbing, Oh My!
ColdBox is a framework based on objects and Unit Testing is an integral part of development, then why shouldn't you be able to unit test your application in its entirety? We are tightly integrated with MXUnit to deliver different types of testing so you can test all of your development layers. Integration testing is core to ColdBox and you can test your entire application (top-down) without the need of a browser, from testing incoming FORM/URL variables to even browser headers and relocations. We even have our own mocking and stubbing framework, MockBox, that will be indispensable when doing isolation and unit testing.
ColdBox Proxy: Flex/Air/Remote Integration
The ColdBox proxy enables remote applications like Flex, AIR, AJAX, WSDL web services to communicate with ColdBox and provide an event model for your applications. You can create a Service Layer with built-in environmental settings, logging, error handling, event interception and chaining, you name it, and the possibilities are endless. This integration will provide you with the capability to create any amount of front ends using the same reusable ColdBox and model code.
ColdBox Universe
We already mentioned that ColdBox is built modularly and here are the major libraries/frameworks that compose the ColdBox Platform. Please note that each of these libraries/frameworks are completely standalone and can be used with any other ColdFusion framework or ColdFusion application. The importance of these libraries are that they are decoupled from each other and you can pick, mix and match and use them in your applications as you see fit.
- WireBox - Dependency Injection and Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) Framework
- LogBox - Enterprise ColdFusion logging library inspired by Log4J
- CacheBox - Enterprise ColdFusion caching engine, aggregator and API
- MockBox - Mocking and Stubbing framework
How ColdBox Works?
ColdBox uses both implicit and explicit invocation methods to execute events and render content; ColdBox is an event driven framework. You have one single configuration file: Coldbox.cfc, from where you can configure your entire application (No logic, just configuration data) and a set of folder conventions. This configuration file activates certain aspects of your application and configures all the implicit events that mostly reflect the events in the Application.cfc that ColdFusion exposes.
Remember that this framework will not solve all your problems. It is a standard, a foundation on which to develop on and thanks to its software programming aspects that it provides, this framework can also be a development toolkit. However, it is up to you to create GOOD code, this is not a magical framework that will make your code better. It will help you, but at the end of the day, it is your responsibility.
Core Conventions
The core conventions delineate the contract between ColdBox and you for file/directory locations and more.
|Default Value
|config file location
|The location of the application configuration file
|handlers location
|Where all event handlers are located
|layouts location
|Where all layouts are located
|views location
|Where all views are located
|plugins location
|Where all plugins are located
|models location
|Where all model objects are located
|modules location
|Where all modules are located
|default event action
|The name of the default event action (method) to use when an event handler is called with no method
Above you will see the core conventions plus some extra files and folders:
|The boostrap approach that uses non-inheritance (See Bootstrapper)
|Used to boostrap the framework application using inheritance (See Bootstrapper)
|A placeholder file the framework needs for front controller operation. The file is usually empty.
|Where you can place static assets like (css,images,i18n,js,etc)
|Where all your unit, mocks and integration tests go (Yes, you need to test!)
Major Classes
As you can see from the diagram above, these are our major classes that you will be interacting with. The pivot class that is our core base class for anything ColdBox is the FrameworkSuperType class. All plugins, interceptors and event handlers internally inherit from the super type class, as they are part of the ColdBox family of objects. We also have build an awesome quick API docs application that can help you locate and method or any class: http://apidocs.coldbox.org. We would highly encourage you to bookmark this application.
Important: The FrameworkSuperType class is meant to be the base class for ColdBox related objects and NOT for domain layer objects.
All of the following property members exist in the object's variables scope for event handlers, interceptors and plugins.
|A reference to the CacheBox framework factory (coldbox.system.cache.CacheFactory)
|A reference to the application's ColdBox Controller (coldbox.system.web.Controller)
|A reference to the current configured Flash Object Implementation that inherits from the AbstractFlashScope AbstractFlashScope (derived coldbox.system.web.flash.AbstractFlashScope)
|The reference to the LogBox library (coldbox.system.logging.LogBox)
|A pre-configured LogBox Logger object for this specific class object (coldbox.system.logging.Logger)
|A reference to the WireBox object factory (coldbox.system.ioc.Injector)
Front Controller
ColdBox makes use of the Front Controller design pattern as its means of operation while in MVC mode. This means that every request comes in through a single template, usually index.cfm. Once a request is received by the framework through this front controller, it will parse the request and re-direct appropriately to the correct event handler (controller).
Request Context
The incoming URL, FORM and REMOTE variables are merged into a single structure that we call the request collection and since we love objects that collection is stored in an object called Request Context. We also create a secondary collection called the private request collection that cannot be affected by the outside world as nothing is merged into it. You can use it for private request variables and the like. The request context object has tons of methods to help you in setting and getting variables from one MVC layer to another, to getting request metadata, rendering RESTful content, setting HTTP headers and more. It is your information super highway for specific requests. Remember that the API Docs are your best friend!
Please see the application life cycle to understand the basics of ColdBox's request life cycles.
Event Detection
The way events are detected are via a URL/FORM or remote variable named by default event or by using the default SES URL Mapping routing techniques in ColdBox. This event variable holds a specific pattern that lets the framework know what controller to execute. This is called ColdBox event syntax:
index.cfm?event=[module:][handler|package].[action=index] // sample index.cfm?event=users.list index.cfm?event=package.users.list index.cfm?event=myModule:users.list
/index.cfm/{module}/{package}/{handler}/{action=index} /{module}/{package}/{handler}/{action=index} // sample http://myapp.com/index.cfm/users/list // Full rewrites activated http://myapp.com/users/list
Once this is detected, our conventions kick in: The handler is the name of the event handler CFC and the action is the name of the public or remote method to execute. You can also pre-pend package/module names of where event handlers can be found. Please note that our recommendation is to use SES routing so you can create meaningful URI's and abstract out the real names of the handlers and locations. You can also see from the event syntax that index is the default action for any event handler CFC.
Event Handlers (Controllers)
ColdBox Event handlers are CFC's that act as your application controllers. Most of this topic is covered in the Event Handlers Guide. Here is a brief introduction:
- This can be simple CFCs or inherit from coldbox.system.EventHandler.
- The CFC's must be placed in the handlers directory under your application (Conventions). See DirectoryStructure-Conventions
- Then you need to create public methods that will respond to events.
- Handlers will be cached by the framework and cache metadata can be attached to their cfcomponent declaration.
- Handlers will interact with incoming requests, present views, layouts, talk to the model layer for business logic and data, relocate requests and more.
Here is a typical example of a simple event handler:
component{ // Inject a virtual coldbox service layer via ColdFusion ORM property name="userService" inject="entityService:User"; function index(event,rc,prc){ // place a variable in the request collection rc.welcome = "Hi and welcome!"; // set a view for rendering event.setView("home/index"); } function save(event,rc,prc){ // get a new user object and populate it from the incoming form var user = populateModel( userService.new() ); // save it and relocate userService.save( user ); // flash a message flash.put("message","User saved!"); // relocate setNextEvent("users.list"); } }
All event handler methods receive the same three arguments:
- event : The request context object
- rc : A reference to the request collection held inside the request context object
- prc : A reference to the private request collection held inside the request context object
Model Objects
ColdBox by convention can integrate (create, persist and wire) with your Model layer via our own dependency injection framework, WireBox, or you can use any other DI framework or none at all. All objects located in your model folder are available to your application with one method call or injection:
// get object myService = getModel("MyService"); // injected object property name="myService" inject="model";
ColdBox will enable you to create simple or enterprise ready model layers. We also give you the ability to easily integrate with ColdFusion ORM via our virtual and base service layers or our ActiveEntity approach that simulates the Active Record pattern using ColdFusion ORM. We also have our own Hibernate extensions that help you do incredible Object Oriented queries on ORM objects and their relationships using our ColdBox Hibernate Criteria Builder. Here is a taste of what you can do with our ORM integrations:
/** * A cool User entity */ component persistent="true" table="users" extends="coldbox.system.orm.hibernate.ActiveEntity"{ // Primary Key property name="userID" fieldtype="id" column="userID" generator="native"; // Properties property name="firstName" ormtype="string"; property name="lastName" ormtype="string"; property name="email" ormtype="string"; property name="username" ormtype="string"; property name="password" ormtype="string"; property name="age" ormtype="integer"; }
Active Entity Handler
component{ function index(event,rc,prc){ var user = entityNew("User"); prc.usersFound = user.count(); prc.users = user.list(sortOrder="lastName"); event.setView("users/index"); } function search(event,rc,prc){ rc.searchTerm = getPlugin("AntiSamy").clean( rc.searchTerm ); var criteria = entityNew("User").newCriteria(); prc.users = criteria.or( criteria.restrictions.like("firstName","%#rc.searchTerm#%"), criteria.restrictions.like("lastName", "%#rc.searchTerm#%") ).list(max=20); event.setView("users/search"); } function edit(event,rc,prc){ prc.user = entityNew("User").get( rc.userID ); event.setView("users/edit"); } function save(event,rc,prc){ var user = populateModel( entityNew("User").get( rc.userID ) ); user.save(); setNextEvent("users.list"); } function remove(event,rc,prc){ entityNew("User").deleteByID( rc.userID ); setNextEvent("users.list"); } }
Virtual Service Handler
component{ property name="userService" inject="entityService:User"; function index(event,rc,prc){ prc.usersFound = userService.count(); prc.users = userService.list(sortOrder="lastName"); event.setView("users/index"); } function search(event,rc,prc){ rc.searchTerm = getPlugin("AntiSamy").clean( rc.searchTerm ); var criteria = userService.newCriteria(); prc.users = criteria.or( criteria.restrictions.like("firstName","%#rc.searchTerm#%"), criteria.restrictions.like("lastName", "%#rc.searchTerm#%") ).list(max=20); event.setView("users/search"); } function edit(event,rc,prc){ prc.user = userService.get( rc.userID ); event.setView("users/edit"); } function save(event,rc,prc){ var user = populateModel( userService.get( rc.userID ) ); userService.save( user ); setNextEvent("users.list"); } function remove(event,rc,prc){ userService.deleteByID( rc.userID ); setNextEvent("users.list"); } }
ColdBox sports its own awesome FORM and object validation engine that we call: ValidBox. It allows you to define a set of constraints for form elements or object properties that will be evaluated in your handlers via a method called validateModel(). Here is an example of our previous model object with validation data:
/** * A cool User entity */ component persistent="true" table="users" extends="coldbox.system.orm.hibernate.ActiveEntity"{ // Primary Key property name="userID" fieldtype="id" column="userID" generator="native"; // Properties property name="firstName" ormtype="string"; property name="lastName" ormtype="string"; property name="email" ormtype="string"; property name="username" ormtype="string"; property name="password" ormtype="string"; property name="age" ormtype="integer"; // Validation this.constraints = { firstName = { required = true }, lastName = { required = true}, username = {required=true, size=6..10}, password = {required=true, size=6..8}, email = {required=true, type="email"}, age = {required=true, type="numeric", min=18} }; }
Then you can validate them really easily:
component{ function save(event,rc,prc){ // create and populate a user object from an incoming form var user = populateModel( entityNew("User") ); // validate model prc.validationResults = validateModel( user ); // check for errors? if( prc.validationResults.hasErrors() ){ // Use a cool MessageBox plugin to render out the validation messages in the UI getPlugin("MessageBox").error(messageArray=prc.validationResults.getAllErrors() ); // Present the editor form for correction of validation return edit(event,rc,prc); } else{ // save the user user.save(); setNextEvent('users.list'); } } }
or if you use ActiveEntity the entity can validate itself:
component{ function save(event,rc,prc){ // create and populate a user object from an incoming form var user = entityNew("User").populate( rc ); // validate model if( !user.isValid() ){ // Use a cool MessageBox plugin to render out the validation messages in the UI getPlugin("MessageBox").error(messageArray=user.getValidationResults().getAllErrors() ); // Present the editor form for correction of validation return edit(event,rc,prc); } else{ // save the user user.save(); setNextEvent('users.list'); } } }
ColdBox has a fantastic layout manager that can help you create tons of skins, layouts for different devices and so much more in pure CFML. You can have inside of your layouts multiple rendering regions for widgets or content variables or inline renderings, or even rendering other layouts in specific locations. It is a incredibly powerful feature!
Sample Layout
<cfoutput> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> #renderView('tags/metatags')# <title>Welcome to Coldbox!!</title>
#runEvent('viewlets.sidebar')#

 #renderView()#

#renderView('tags/footer')#
   </cfoutput>
Sample View
<cfoutput>
ColdBox Says: #rc.welcome#
 #html.href(href="#event.getCurrentEvent()#", text=html.button(value="Refresh"))# </cfoutput>
All layouts and views have several different variables and objects available in the variables scope:
- event : The request context object
- rc : A reference to the request collection held inside the request context object
- prc : A reference to the private request collection held inside the request context object
- html : A reference to our HTML helper plugin that can produce any type of enhanced HTML
Rendering Data & RESTful Handlers
ColdBox provides you with a utility method called renderData() located in the event object (request context) that can be used from your event handlers. This method will provide you with the ability to render data back to the browser or to a remote caller without rendering or creating views. The framework will take care of marshalling (converting) the data for you and return it back. This is an incredible tool to use when doing AJAX or remote interactions from flex or air or when building RESTful web services
Out of the box ColdBox can marshall data (structs, views, queries, arrays, complex or even ORM entities) into the following output formats:
ColdBox even helps you detect incoming extensions and creates a variable called format for you. So if you have a URL like this:
It will detect the extension and create a format=json so you can respond to it.
component{ // HTTP Method Security this.allowedMethods = { list = "GET", save = "POST,PUT", delete = "DELETE" }; // restful handler function list(event,rc,prc){ prc.data = userService.list(); event.renderData(data=prc.data, formats="xml,json,html,pdf"); } }
Another important ColdBox feature is the use of a plugin library of CFC's that extend the normal usage of ColdBox to application specific tasks but without hindering system performance. These plugins can be any CFC that's placed in the plugins folder convention of your application or part of the ColdBox core. Every ColdBox installation comes with a rich set of plugins that will help you build and maintain your applications.
ColdBox Modules are self-contained subsets of a ColdBox application that can be dropped in to any ColdBox application and become alive as part of the host application. They will bring re-usability and extensibility to any ColdBox application, as now you can break them down further into a collection of modules. This concept has been around in software design for a long time as it is always essential to partition a system into manageable modules or parts. ColdBox Modules will change the way you approach application development as you can now have a foundation architecture that can scale easily and provide you enough manageability to reduce maintenance and increase development. Such a design means that development, testing and maintenance becomes easier, faster and with a much lower cost. Welcome to a brave new world!
ColdBox interceptors increase functionality for applications and framework alike, without touching the core functionality, and thus encapsulating logic into separate objects. This pattern wraps itself around a request in specific execution points in which it can process, pre-process, post-process and redirect requests. These interceptors can also be stacked to form interceptor chains that can be executed implicitly. These stacked interceptor chains form a chain of separate, declaratively-deployable services to an existing web application or framework without incurring any changes to the main application or framework source code. Welcome to the world of event-driven architectures.
Event-Driven Programming
However, we went a step further with ColdBox interceptors and created the hooks necessary in order to implement an event-driven programming pattern into the entire interceptor service. Ok ok, what does this mean? It means, that you are not restricted to the pre-defined interception points that ColdBox provides, you can create your own WOW! Really? Yes, you can very easily declare execution points via the configuration file or register at runtime, create your interceptors with the execution point you declared (Conventions baby!!) and then just announce interceptions in your code via the interception API.
ColdBox DevBox
If you want to avoid many hassles on setup, just use our pre-configured development stack; ColdBox DevBox. DevBox is a full open source development stack for ColdBox, ready to go for development in any environment (Windows, Linux, Mac). Just download, click start and get ready to code. This development server is full of goodies from ColdBox Core, ColdBox sample applications, MXUnit testing framework, ColdFusion Builder Extensions and so much more. So if you need a nice portable development environment for ColdBox, quick demo building, or just plain fun, download DevBox today. We also have our github repository for DevBox so you can watch, fork and start collaborating today.
You Download DevBox or if you love the command line, use something like:
wget http://www.coldbox.org/download/devbox
Expand the archive into its own coldbox-devbox directory
unzip coldbox-devbox_1.0.zip -d coldbox-devbox
If on *Unix/Mac, you must give it execution permissions, windows skip this:
chmod -R 777 coldbox-devbox
Now we can start up our DevBox:
- Windows : Run the start.exe
- *nix/Mac : Run the start.sh script
- Mac : Run the start.app
Once DevBox starts it will try to open a browser for you so you can start developing:
To stop your DevBox you can:
- Windows : Close the window it opens
- *nix/Mac : Run the stop.sh script
- Mac : Close/Quit the application
Video Tutorial
I hope that this overview gave you an insight into how powerful ColdBox is for building your web applications. It is a new generation framework based on conventions that will increase your productivity and adaptability in a team environment. Welcome to the ColdBox Platform!

NB: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon was one of the books we selected to be included in our 2010 Spirit of PaperTigers Book Set. Read our review of the book here and our interview with Grace here. We also have two galleries of Grace's ilustration work here and here.
Since 2010 PaperTigers has sent carefully chosen books to particular schools and libraries in various parts of the world. The books chosen seek to provide "multicultural" or "trans-cultural" stories that promote awareness of, knowledge about, and positive acceptance of "the other" in ways children can learn and enjoy. We are convinced of the crucial role of literacy and reading in an education that fosters understanding and empathy.

Can I clean Medela storage bottles with Medela Quick Clean Wipes?
Can I clean Medela storage bottles with Medela Quick Clean Wipes?
I would think that the wipes are mostly for pump parts, but check the manufacturer's instructions to be certain.
My best suggestion is to clean your storage bottles with hot, soapy water and follow with a good rinse under warm, running water (or use your dishwasher if you have one).
You can also put bottles in the steam bags.
I Absolutely Love The Medela Steam Bags.
I'm a first time mom... Now introducing bottles to my daughter with my expressed milk. I have a microwave sterilizer... For cleaning bottles, I wash the bottles with hot soap water and rinse in hot water, and do microwave sterilizing... Looks like a lot of work :-(
Now my question is... does the microwave sterilizing alone is enough or do I have to wash the bottles with soap water? Please advice..

My dd has started sleeping with us, and it seems since then she sleeps more soundly and a little longer (Yay!). However, to make this the perfect arrangement, I of course would like to be able to breastfeed her lying down. I've only been successful at this a couple times. Usually, we need to get up and go to the couch, which means we both wake up more than I would like. It just seems when I nurse her in bed she squirms or rolls away, or it is just too hard for her to latch on and she gets frustrated. Also, we have a queen size bed, so rolling around a lot is not good for my dh.
Any suggestions for how to make nursing while lying down easier? I'm hoping as she gets more head control it will become easier.
Thank you!!

- Corrections
Correction: The article "CSU study: Simple steps on farm can cut pollution" in the June 27-July 10 edition of BizWest misstated the kind of emissions farmers can limit by applying less fertilizer. Farmers can reduce nitrous-oxide emissions by applying less fertilizer.
Clarification: A BizWest editorial published June 27 should have noted that Colorado State University's proposed stadium requires formal approval from its governing board before it can be built. In addition, the editorial said the universities have failed to disclose how much money they promised to raise. In fact, they've failed to disclose how much money they've actually raised to date.

Anyone living in the city's five wards must be registered to vote by April 11, at least 30 days before the election is held.
Also, anyone wishing to cast a ballot by mail may already send requests for the mail ballots.
The final day for requesting a mail ballot in person will be April 26. But the ballots must be sent to the voter's address by mail. The mail ballots cannot be picked up in person.
City Secretary Barbara Treviño said mail ballots must be returned to City Hall, by mail, on May 11.
Voters who wish to vote early by personal appearance at City Hall may begin casting ballots on April 29. Treviño's office will accept voters from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday, April 29, through Friday, May 3.
Then on the following Monday and Tuesday, May 6 and 7, the city secretary's office will accept early voters by personal appearance from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
That will give voters who have jobs a chance to cast ballots after they leave work.
On election day, the five polling places will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Voters have some important decisions to make this year. Four candidates are vying for two council seats.
In Ward 1, incumbent Mike Scotten is not running for re-election. Two local men will be seeking that seat.
George P. "Trace" Morrill, III will be at the top of the ballot in that ward. The candidate is a 36-year-old attorney.
He is being challenged by former council member Randy Gale Forbes. He is a 47-year-old accountant.
In Ward 5, incumbent Libby Hitchcock Spires, 47, is running for re-election. She is a certified public accountant.
Spires is being challenged by a newcomer to city politics. Christopher Lynn Payne is a sergeant correctional officer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He is 33 years old.
Every registered voter in the city will have an opportunity to vote for or against a bond issue the City Council wants to sell to develop an alternative water supply system for the city.
The majority of the $15.3 million bond issue, more than $12 million, would be spent to drill a well at the city's water storage facility on West Cleveland Street.
The well would be located in the Jasper aquifer at a depth of between 1,500 and 1,700 feet.
About $7.4 million of that bond issue would be used to build a reverse osmosis plant at the same facility to remove most of the anticipated 1,500 parts per million of suspended solids and chlorides found in Jasper Aquifer water.
However, engineers anticipate that the city could supplement Beeville's surface water, which is pumped from the Nueces River at the headwaters of Lake Corpus Christi, by an amount between 2 million and 3.5 million gallons a day.
The City Council has scheduled its next town hall meeting on the proposed bond sale for 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at the city's event center, 111 E. Corpus Christi St.

It might just be an urban legend but I've been led to believe that CCR would sometimes sing "there's a bathroom on the right" when they did this song in concerts.

As for trans-language mondegreens, one that is probably familiar to all students of French is haricots, 'beans,' which of course we called "haircuts"!
I studied Vietnamese in Army Language School and recall some of the ones which gave us a chuckle. (diacritical marks have been omitted)
hot toc 'haircut' became "hot dog";
tho moc 'carpenter' became "tomahawk";
chien xa 'Army tank' became "chain saw"

I feel that if we (and any other club) can't manage we should go to Champs 1 and THEN be given lots of help to rebuild. That way we get strong clubs and failure is not rewarded.
Sadly you cannot build in the championship. The fans aren't that interested nor are the quality players both young and established.
There's also no help provided. The SKY money given to Championship clubs is Zero.
That's why there are no strong clubs in the championship. Only the weak ones who find a millionaire.

Argument analysis: Narrow reversal in Jevic seems likely – Daniel Bussel
Merits Case Pages and Archives
This Week at the Court
The court issued additional orders from the December 2 conference on Monday. The court did not grant any new cases or call for the views of the solicitor general in any cases. On Tuesday, the court released its opinions in three cases. The court also heard oral arguments on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The calendar for the December sitting is available on the court's website. On Friday the justices met for their December 9 conference; Honeycutt v. United States.
Major Cases
- Gloucester County School Board v. G.G.
(1) Whether courts should extend deference to an unpublished agency letter that, among other things, does not carry the force of law and was adopted in the context of the very dispute in which deference is sought; and (2) whether, with or without deference to the agency, the Department of Education's specific interpretation of Title IX and 34 C.F.R. § 106.33, which provides that a funding recipient providing sex-separated facilities must "generally treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity," should be given effect.
- Bank of America Corp. v. City of Miami
(1) Whether, by limiting suit to "aggrieved person[s]," Congress required that a Fair Housing Act plaintiff plead more than just Article III injury-in-fact; and (2) whether proximate cause requires more than just the possibility that a defendant could have foreseen that the remote plaintiff might ultimately lose money through some theoretical chain of contingencies.
- Moore v. Texas
(1) Whether it violates the Eighth Amendment and this Court's decisions in Hall v. Florida and Atkins v. Virginia to prohibit the use of current medical standards on intellectual disability, and require the use of outdated medical standards, in determining whether an individual may be executed.
- Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado
Whether a no-impeachment rule constitutionally may bar evidence of racial bias offered to prove a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury.
- Murr v. Wisconsin
Whether, in a regulatory taking case, the "parcel as a whole" concept as described in Penn Central Transportation Company v. City of New York, establishes a rule that two legally distinct but commonly owned contiguous parcels must be combined for takings analysis purposes.
- Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley
Whether the exclusion of churches from an otherwise neutral and secular aid program violates the Free Exercise and Equal Protection Clauses when the state has no valid Establishment Clause concern.
- Gloucester County School Board v. G.G.

- FTS USA, LLC v. Monroe (1) Whether the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Due Process Clause permit a collective action to be certified and tried to verdict based on testimony from a small subset of the putative plaintiffs, without either any statistical or other similarly reliable showing that the experiences of those who testified are typical and can reliably be extrapolated to the entire class, or a jury finding that the testifying witnesses are representative of the absent plaintiffs; and (2) whether the procedure for determining damages upheld by the Sixth Circuit, in which the district court unilaterally determined damages without any jury finding, violates the Seventh Amendment.
- Overton v. United States Whether, consistent with this Court's Brady v. Maryland jurisprudence, a court may require a defendant to demonstrate that suppressed evidence "would have led the jury to doubt virtually everything" about the government's case in order to establish that the evidence is material.
- Turner v. United States (1) Whether, under Brady v. Maryland, courts may consider information that arises after trial in determining the materiality of suppressed evidence; and (2) whether, in a case where no physical evidence inculpated petitioners, the prosecution's suppression of information that included the identification of a plausible alternative perpetrator violated petitioners' due process rights under Brady.

With introductions complete, Stephen and Brian led the group out on Baker Beach, which provides some great scenic views of the Pacific Ocean and Golden Gate Bridge. Time was spent working on composition with use of the waves as leading lines. Time was also spent on filter use (mainly the benefits of the circular polarizer) to bring out depth in the sky and intensify colors. Baker Beach provides a great beginning to the workshop.
With the beach under our belts, it was time to hit Fort Point. Fort Point provides students with opportunities to photograph during the mid-day, which is usually during the suns brightest and least photographic period. Inside the fort there are opportunities to work with low light, long exposures in the dark corridors of the forts hallways. Using symmetry in compositions can be challenging and workshop participants have ample opportunities to use the arches and curves of the forts architecture to create aesthetic and balanced compositions. Fort Point also provides numerous windows, and columns to use in creating images with repeating shape patterns. Under ideal circumstances the group spends a couple hours exploring the fort and its various photographic options....due to the time we spent on Baker Beach, we had a conflict with schedules and the group divided and shot the fort whirlwind style...making the most of the 40 minutes we had inside.
While the inside of the fort is a great place for photography, the outside ain't bad neither....and amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge are found from spots right outside the fort walls. This place is also popular for surfers and students had time to photograph some of the colorful individuals riding the waves.
We spent time photographing the bridge, so it was only fitting to drive across it into Sausalito for a coffee break, and a lesson on using larger lenses for creating compression in images....where the background appears magnified, and commands a larger portion of the image. The sky cooperated all day, and the group benefited from great cloud formations during each and every shoot....from beginning right through to sunset.
Sunset on Rodeo Beach, in the Marin Headlands, was the highlight for many of us. The clouds were perfect, and the spot...ideal to capture some of the Pacific's true beauty. Sea Stacks and pristine sand (in most places....stupid dogs) created some truly dramatic images...and again was a great opportunity to work on use of filters and composition with the students. GND, ND, and Polarizing filters all helped make the images the eye saw come to life on the viewing screens of our cameras. Timing is an important part of beach photography and there were plenty of chances to make sure everyone got that beautiful streaking surf in their foreground.
If the day ended there, I think everyone would've been extremely pleased with the weather, and the numerous places they saw and photographed....but there was still one last treat in store for the group.
The San Francisco workshops always conclude with a night shoot of the city and its bridge. They light up so magnificently...and what better way to teach on exposures longer than 30 seconds....to make things extra special Stephen and Brian pulled a few strings and arranged a full moon AND a fireworks display for the students....how do they do it!?! (alright....they didn't arrange the moon....or the fireworks...but it was still an awesome treat)
All said, the workshop was a total success...and the group dynamics were amazing. We had an amazing and fun filled day working with a bunch of determined and creative individuals all working to improve on something they obviously have a lot of love for....photography.
Look like fun? Why not Join us....opportunities are available all year long in a variety of amazing locations.
Until next time!
Stephen & Brian

Charlie - May 15th, 2009 (4:03pm)
What a fun group to experience and share the photography field trip with. By the looks of things everyone was very focused on their focus. Also, the running commentary by Stephen and Brian produced many good tips and advice that the group could put in to practice immediately. Great job! Lots of fun. Many mahalo's.
Gabor - May 19th, 2009 (9:26pm)
Thank you for the very informative and fun lesson. I had a great time and learned a lot. :)

Press Release From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release June 25, 2008 Contact: Tiffany Champion, (210) 733-6604
The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Raymond Simon and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England have announced they will sign a formal agreement linking the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Defense's efforts to improve the quality of education, and address unique challenges faced by children of military families. The signing will take place today, Wednesday, June 25, at 3:30 p.m. EDT, at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
Senator Van de Putte said the following regarding this important announcement; and her plans to coordinate similar policy at the state level:
"As Chair of the Texas Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I applaud the efforts of our federal government to improve the educational system for our military families. However, much of our military children's educational needs must be addressed at the state level.
"Our military families face many unique challenges through frequent moves and deployments; and we must strive to minimize the difficulties they experience. The average military child will attend a range of six to nine different school systems between kindergarten and 12th grade. Although the armed services have made progress in the transition of personnel, the state must ease the transition process for our military children, by ensuring these children are not penalized by rigid and impractical administrative practices.
"In the coming legislative session, I will sponsor legislation to work with the Department of Defense, the National Center for Interstate Compacts and the Council of State Governments, in order to develop an Interstate Compact that addresses common educational transition issues of our military families.
"The Interstate Compact program is intended to create a uniform policy in every school district, in the states that choose to participate in the Compact. Therefore, if Texas chooses to adopt the Interstate Compact program, it will allow uniform treatment of military children transferring between school districts, including between different states.
"Military service can create a myriad of challenges for families; and we must reduce the stresses endured. With Independence Day upon us, there is no better time to demonstrate our gratitude to those who fight to preserve our freedom. Our military is going to great extents to support our country, and in doing so, are making sacrifices at home. Therefore, our military children deserve every opportunity we can give them in return."

Teaching in English
An International Faculty Advancement Program
The Teaching in English program (TIE) is an intensive course of study designed for international university instructors from across disciplines who wish to strengthen their writing and/or speaking skills for teaching in English and to improve their research writing and presentation skills.
Taking a unique approach to language teaching, the courses are taught by specially trained and highly experienced faculty from various disciplines to meet the particular needs of your academic program. Our faculty can design a course to study effective learning methods while enhancing your faculty's expertise in English and communication.
"The course gives us new methods of how to teach in English. That is to say, any class needs to focus on interaction, not only between student and teacher, but also among students. With the help of the instructor, we learned cooperative methods that can be used in our own course."
---A 2013 TIE On-Campus Program participant
"The major strengths in this course are the very interesting class discussions with the instructor who is a real expert in her field. I found lots of useful teaching methodologies and I hope to be able to apply some of them in my future classes."
---A 2013 TIE On-Site Program participant from Graz University of Technology, Austria
"This course is exciting and the instructor is excellent! I believe the instructor made great efforts to plan and organize the course for all the examples. What's more, the instructor's extensive knowledge impressed me greatly. This course is very useful and helpful as a whole."
---A 2013 TIE On-Site Program participant from Tianjin University, China
"This Teaching in English program has contributed much to enhancing the quality of the teaching staff from Shanghai Normal University. Located close to the center of American culture – New York City, Montclair State University has definitely offered our teachers an eye-opening experience to witness the diversity of American culture. With a well-designed curriculum that caters to the needs of our teachers, this training program exposed them to student-centered methodology in a bilingual teaching environment. It raised the teaching competence and improved the instruction quality of these teachers. In the long run, it also plays a positive role in improving their scientific research ability."
--- Changhe Wu, Associate Director, Human Resources Department,
Shanghai Normal University

A flood of memories
The following are excerpts from the "John 'Dud' Chamberlain Memoir," published courtesy of the Oral History Collection, Archives/Special Collections, Brookens Library, University of Illinois at Springfield.
Marietta native Chamberlain was interviewed in 1957 by John Knoepfle, when he was 65. Chamberlain spent most of his life as a "newspaperman."
To view the entire interview, go to www.uis.edu/archives/memoirs/CHAMBERLAINJOHN.pdf
The Progress section of The Marietta Times focuses on the 100 year anniversary of the 1913 flood. For more photos and stories, see the March 23-24 edition.
I had very vivid experiences there in Marietta at the time of the 1913 flood. We will never-I have written this-we'll never again have that kind of disaster at Marietta, or probably in any of the other river towns. That's not so much due to flood control as it is to communication. The trouble in 1913, we were completely isolated. We were helpless. They could not get supplies in to us really. Of course, we had no telephone lines and had no railroads and no radio. We were just-when that water went down we were in miserable shape.
I still had my canoe and the boss told me, says, "Well, we can't do anything more. We've done everything we could. Do you think you can find some whiskey?" I said, " I can find it if there's any anyplace." Well, I got in the canoe and went to the one bar that was still open…He had about six inches of water on his floor. That was on Fulton Street. I went up through the old train shed in the canoe, tied up to the back door of his saloon, waded in and got a couple quarts of whiskey.
Some fellow that was working with us lived uptown and the telephones were still in. And his wife called him and a big old abandoned factory building on the upper edges of Marietta had cut loose and was coming down the Muskingum. And we knew what that meant. So we dropped everything and ran up to the roof. On the top of the third floor of a brick building right across from the Chamber of Commerce, across from the Post Office in that main block there, I ran out the parapet in front and there it came down the-this big plant down the-floating the Ohio like a steamboat, right down the middle of the Muskingum.
It hit that Putnam Street bridge and went through it just like it was going through pasteboard, picked up that central span and carried it a hundred yards downstream and dropped it down on the dam. And all that debris that was back of that rushed through there and piled up against the big railroad bridge below. That bridge had been weighted down. It was a better bridge, weighted down with a trainload of coal and gravel cars. And it held for perhaps not more than a minute or minute and a half, but to us looking down on the top of it, it seemed years when that Muskingum River dumped right up to the center-the center of it at the time that bridge went out in the middle of the Muskingum River. I'll bet it was two feet high. When that railroad bridge went the whole thing went, just like that. The whole stretch of it just laid down (laughs). I said, "Well, that is the end of it. No point in going ahead and doing any further work or anything else, we were lost anyway." So we just sat there in that bright sunlight and watched that Muskingum go out. She was something to see. She really was something to see.
Right near the crest, there was a relief boat that came down from Pittsburgh with some medical supplies and blankets on it. But by that time, we had things under reasonably good control. We didn't want the boat to come into Marietta, because of the waves from the paddlewheel that break windows and so on. …We told them to keep on going…Well, as it passed under the big Ohio River bridge at Marietta some thoughtful person grabbed a roll of Pittsburgh newspapers and tossed them up on that bridge. They were close enough that they could make that toss. Anyway, the roll of papers landed up there. They had a bunch of refugees that were living up on that bridge and somehow or other I got ahold of that roll of newspapers. I don't know how I first heard about it but I did, and I got them and that was the first communication from out of town that Marietta had for days.

Vt. revenues up in AprilMay 11,2013MONTPELIER Vermont Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said revenues were up in all three of the states main sources of income last month, including the highest general fund revenues ever for April.
Spaulding said its not a time for irrational exuberance because a good deal of the increase in general fund revenue seems to be due to one-time decisions made by taxpayers in December.
Still, general fund revenues were 14.2 percent above projections. The year-to-date projection is almost 2.5 percent ahead of forecasts.
The transportation fund in April exceeded expectations by 3.85 percent. For the year the transportation fund is 1 percent below target.
The non-property tax education fund revenues were almost three-tenths of 1 percent above forecasts. The education fund is also about 1 percent below expectations for the year.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Supreme Pizza Pull Apart Bread
Over thel ast couple of years, I've realized something kinda profound…food bloggers are neurotic people. We are! We've got issues. We have to do it all, buy it, make it, shoot it, eat it, test it, edit it, post it and then clean up the entire simultaneous F-5 tornado and nuclear explosion that completely obliterated our kitchens. #Foodbloggerproblems We haz 'em. This Supreme Pizza Pull Apart bread and I almost went round for round in the photography department last weekend, but I had to show it to you because I done 'bout ate half of it myself – it was that good, but I was raging the entire time because it was not nearly as kind to me to be photogenic for 10 minutes so I could take a half way decent picture. It was a stand off – there were tumble weeds blowing, Western shoot out music playing, twitchy gun slinger hands ready to take eachother down in .149 flat. It was on! Ultimately, I won – with my face. But these photos do not do it justice for how good it is!
Over the winter months so many food bloggers (including me) lamented the horrors and atrocities that are darkening winter nights, and rushed photo jobs. And JUST when we totally find out winter photo taking groove, Spring shows up with a smile and a "Hey, Girl…I got some sunshine for you" and then BLAMO, we have to get used to shooting all over again. No? Just my problem then? Okay, fair. Like I said – food bloggers are neurotic!
We got 99 problems and lighting IS one.
The same day as shooting this pizza bread I also had to make and shoot the Smoked Salmon Dip that I made for Julie's Surprise Bridal Shower. The main difference between the two – this was shot in my dining room, where I usually shoot all my photos. The dip – shot in my bedroom. My bedroom. We follow the light and never did I think that in this cave of an apartment I'd be finding better light in my Bedroom. If I start shooting in my bathroom, that has no windows, one of you can give me an intervention and send me to sit in a corner.
Rachel from Baked by Rachel has had me drooling over her pull Cinnamon Apple Pull Apart bread for months – MONTHS, so I had to borrow her recipe and make a pizza filled version that made me want to drink beer and watch football…. I greatly dislike and roll my eyes at football… THATS how awesome this is – I actually want to watch football. Next time this makes an appearance, I'm making her apple cinnamon version, and rewatching Downton Abbey. Again.
Much more my speed.
3 1/4 - 3 1/2C all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg or 2 1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast (instant)
4 tbsp butter, melted
1/3C lukewarm milk (90 degrees)
1/4C lukewarm water (90 degrees)
1 1/2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
2 eggs
20 slices Pepperoni
2 cups Mozzarella, shredded
1 cup Pizza Sauce
1 cup Ground Sausage, cooked and drained
⅓ cup Red Onion, chopped
⅓ cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
⅓ cup Green Bell Pepper, chopped
In a stand mixer or large bowl, whisk together dry bread ingredients. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together wet ingredients. Attach the dough hook to the stand mixer. With the mixer on low, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix the dough. Increase the speed to medium until dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer bowl and starts to form a soft ball. If the dough still sticks to the walls of the mixer bowl, add in small amounts of additional flour until the dough pulls completely away.
Remove the dough from the mixer bowl and move to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for about one hour. Lightly spray loaf pan with non-stick spray.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12 x 20" rectangle. Cut into 6 strips about 3"x12" long. Spread pizza sauce on each strip, top with pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers and mozzarella cheese. Cut each strip into thirds and stack each piece on top of the other. REpeat with other strips of dough. Place stacks one after another into the loaf pan. Let the dough rise in the pan for about 30 more minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pull apart dough for 45 minutes. After 30 minutes, place remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the bread, cover the bread with aluminum foil gently and bake remaining 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert pan and serve. Serve with tomato sauce or pizza sauce for dipping.

This is genius! I'm wanting to run into my kitchen and make this pronto!
Holy cow, girl, you got it going onnnn! I love this! I used to shoot in our bedroom too, especially in the afternoon. It always felt weird but hey, you do what you have to do, right?! 🙂
Words.escaping.me….must pull apart my pizza…now! 🙂 This looks delicious, Megan! Have a a wonderful weekend!
Food Bloggers do have issues! Especially when a recipe tastes great but the photos looks like crap!
This pull apart pizza looks fab.
OMG I love this so much and thats hilarious I've been torturing you for months ha! I wish we lived closer, I'd totally stop by when you make the cinnamon version which seriously has been on my mind since making the apple one. Wish we could do it together!! Blogger buddies baking weekend 🙂

I can join you in the "Food Photo Shoot in the Bedroom" club… been there done that! 🙂 Now excuse me while I shove this entire bread into my mouth.
O.M.G. this looks SO yummy!!! I wish I could stuff my face with that bread right NOW.
I totally agree, there's something a little wacko about us..but at least we love to do it, even the cleaning up 🙁
Whaaaat. This looks SO incredible, Megan! I'm pretty certain my husband would try to lick his screen if he saw this!
I just got used to shooting in the prolonged light when Seattle went all emotional on me and took the sunshine away. These photos make me want to pour myself a tall cold glass of beer and go to town on this bread!
Oh my goodness I think this is officially the most amazing pull apart bread I have yet to see!!
This is the kind of thing my husband would go crazy for.
I have made the cinnamon pull apart bread before and it was AHHHHHMAZING. My kids love homemade pizza and I know they would love this. I will be making it soon. Oh and I am with you on football – I would much rather be watching Downton, which I FINALLY started watching and am waiting on season 3 to get her via netflix ( and I have several boxes of tissues saved since I have heard season 3 is quite the tear-jerker season)
It's like a whole meal in a piece of bread! Love it!
Oh wow, you have outdone yourself here! I need to have this 🙂

Police in Canada investigating the horrific murder and dismemberment of a student have been contacted by Los Angeles police officers about a similar slaying of a 66-year-old man, whose body was found under the famous Hollywood sign, according to reports.
The Toronto Star reported that 29-year-old porn film actor Luka Rocco Magnotta, the man suspected of killing of Chinese student Jun Lin, may have lived in Los Angeles at one time. Montreal police told the paper that he had lived somewhere on the U.S. West Coast.
In late January, the remains of a retired airline worker were found in Los Angeles. The body of Hervey Medellin, 66, had been found by dog walkers near the Hollywood sign after one of the dogs found a plastic bag containing his severed head.
Victim identified in Hollywood severed head case
"The body parts are the common denominator here," Los Angeles police spokesman Officer Lyle Knight said, according to the Star. "That's why our investigators want to talk to the Canadians. We want to know if his whereabouts included Hollywood because we understand he was in the acting field and Hollywood being the acting and movie mecca, we want to know."
Los Angeles police told ABC News that Medellin was openly gay, and noted that Medellin's hands and feet had also been cut off.
The similarities between the Los Angeles killing and the Canada murder four months later are striking. Lin, 33, who was studying computer science at Concordia University in Montreal, was killed in May. His hands and feet were sent in the mail to schools in Vancouver and political offices in Ottawa, while his torso was found in a suitcase in Montreal. His head has not been found.
Canada police: Notes mailed with body parts
Investigators say Magnotta, who was Lin's lover, videotaped the killing and dismemberment in his apartment and posted it online. The video also shows the suspect eating parts of the body, police said.
After two Vancouver schools received packages in the mail containing body parts, authorities are investigating whether there is a connection with Luka Magnotta, the Canadian porn star arrested in Berlin for allegedly murdering and dismembering an acquaintance. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.
Magnotta was arrested in Berlin, Germany, on Monday in connection with Lin's murder and is expected to be extradited to Canada.
Canadian police: Body parts delivered to Vancouver schools
Dep. Chief Warren Lemcke provides details on the police investigation of human remains that were sent to two Vancouver, British Columbia schools.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
