Nothing can take this peace from believers, not even the difficulties and sufferings of life. Indeed, sufferings, trials and darkness do not undermine but build up our hope, a hope which does not deceive because "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us" (5:5).
Pope Benedict XVI greets the faithful

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - Pope Benedict XVI presided over the Holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Feast of the Mother of God on January 1, 2013. We offer his entire homily below:
Pope Benedict XVI Homily, Solemnity of the Feast of the Mother of God, 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters,"May God bless us and make his face to shine upon us." We proclaimed these words from Psalm 66 after hearing in the first reading the ancient priestly blessing upon the people of the covenant. It is especially significant that at the start of every new year God sheds upon us, his people, the light of his Holy Name, the Name pronounced three times in the solemn form of biblical blessing. Nor is it less significant that to the Word of God - who "became flesh and dwelt among us" (Jn 1:14) as "the true light that enlightens every man" (1:9) - is given, as today's Gospel tells us, the Name of Jesus eight days after his birth (cf. Lk 2:21).
It is in this Name that we are gathered here today. I cordially greet all present, beginning with the Ambassadors of the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See. I greet with affection Cardinal Bertone, my Secretary of State, and Cardinal Turkson, with all the officials of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace; I am particularly grateful to them for their effort to spread the Message for the World Day of Peace, which this year has as its theme "Blessed are the Peacemakers".
Although the world is sadly marked by "hotbeds of tension and conflict caused by growing instances of inequality between rich and poor, by the prevalence of a selfish and individualistic mindset which also finds expression in an unregulated financial capitalism," as well as by various forms of terrorism and crime, I am convinced that "the many different efforts at peacemaking which abound in our world testify to mankind's innate vocation to peace. In every person the desire for peace is an essential aspiration which coincides in a certain way with the desire for a full, happy and successful human life.
In other words, the desire for peace corresponds to a fundamental moral principle, namely, the duty and right to an integral social and communitarian development, which is part of God's plan for mankind. Man is made for the peace which is God's gift. All of this led me to draw inspiration for this Message from the words of Jesus Christ: 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God' (Mt 5:9)".
This beatitude "tells us that peace is both a messianic gift and the fruit of human effort. It is peace with God through a life lived according to his will. It is interior peace with oneself, and exterior peace with our neighbours and all creation" (ibid., 2, 3). Indeed, peace is the supreme good to ask as a gift from God and, at the same time, that which is to be built with our every effort.
We may ask ourselves: what is the basis, the origin, the root of peace? How can we experience that peace within ourselves, in spite of problems, darkness and anxieties? The reply is given to us by the readings of today's liturgy. The biblical texts, especially the one just read from the Gospel of Luke, ask us to contemplate the interior peace of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. During the days in which "she gave birth to her first-born son" (Lk 2:7), many unexpected things occurred: not only the birth of the Son but, even before, the tiring journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, not finding room at the inn, the search for a chance place to stay for the night; then the song of the angels and the unexpected visit of the shepherds.
In all this, however, Mary remains even tempered, she does not get agitated, she is not overcome by events greater than herself; in silence she considers what happens, keeping it in her mind and heart, and pondering it calmly and serenely. This is the interior peace which we ought to have amid the sometimes tumultuous and confusing events of history, events whose meaning we often do not grasp and which disconcert us.The Gospel passage finishes with a mention of the circumcision of Jesus. According to the Law of Moses, eight days after birth, baby boys were to be circumcised and then given their name.
Through his messenger, God himself had said to Mary - as well as to Joseph - that the Name to be given to the child was "Jesus" (cf. Mt 1:21; Lk 1:31); and so it came to be. The Name which God had already chosen, even before the child had been conceived, is now officially conferred upon him at the moment of circumcision. This also changes Mary's identity once and for all: she becomes "the mother of Jesus", that is the mother of the Saviour, of Christ, of the Lord. Jesus is not a man like any other, but the Word of God, one of the Divine Persons, the Son of God: therefore the Church has given Mary the title Theotokos or Mother of God.
The first reading reminds us that peace is a gift from God and is linked to the splendour of the face of God, according to the text from the Book of Numbers, which hands down the blessing used by the priests of the People of Israel in their liturgical assemblies. This blessing repeats three times the Holy Name of God, a Name not to be spoken, and each time it is linked to two words indicating an action in favour of man: "The Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord make his face to shine upon you: the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace" (6:24-26). So peace is the summit of these six actions of God in our favour, in which he turns towards us the splendour of his face.
For sacred Scripture, contemplating the face of God is the greatest happiness: "You gladden him with the joy of your face" (Ps 21:7). From the contemplation of the face of God are born joy, security and peace. But what does it mean concretely to contemplate the face of the Lord, as understood in the New Testament? It means knowing him directly, in so far as is possible in this life, through Jesus Christ in whom he is revealed. To rejoice in the splendour of God's face means penetrating the mystery of his Name made known to us in Jesus, understanding something of his interior life and of his will, so that we can live according to his plan of love for humanity. In the second reading, taken from the Letter to the Galatians (4:4-7), Saint Paul says as much as he describes the Spirit who, in our inmost hearts, cries:
"Abba! Father!" It is the cry that rises from the contemplation of the true face of God, from the revelation of the mystery of his Name. Jesus declares, "I have manifested thy name to men" (Jn 17:6). God's Son made man has let us know the Father, he has let us know the hidden face of the Father through his visible human face; by the gift of the Holy Spirit poured into our hearts, he has led us to understand that, in him, we too are children of God, as Saint Paul says in the passage we have just heard: "The proof that you are sons is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries, 'Abba, Father'" (Gal 4:6).
Here, dear brothers and sisters, is the foundation of our peace: the certainty of contemplating in Jesus Christ the splendour of the face of God the Father, of being sons in the Son, and thus of having, on life's journey, the same security that a child feels in the arms of a loving and all-powerful Father. The splendour of the face of God, shining upon us and granting us peace, is the manifestation of his fatherhood: the Lord turns his face to us, he reveals himself as our Father and grants us peace. Here is the principle of that profound peace - "peace with God" - which is firmly linked to faith and grace, as Saint Paul tells the Christians of Rome (cf. Rom 5:2).
Nothing can take this peace from believers, not even the difficulties and sufferings of life. Indeed, sufferings, trials and darkness do not undermine but build up our hope, a hope which does not deceive because "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us" (5:5). May the Virgin Mary, whom today we venerate with the title of Mother of God, help us to contemplate the face of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. May she sustain us and accompany us in this New Year: and may she obtain for us and for the whole world the gift of peace. Amen!

Topic: Password protecting pages simply
I'm now on level 7 of Hartl's rails tutorial book and I'm starting to think about my application in deployment. It's an app that allows about 12 social workers to communicate collaboratively and privately. Thus, I need to password protect it.
However, it also needs to be easy to use, very easy to use. A few of these people haven't used a computer before, and having logging on and sign-up processes would put them off completely.
Thus I want to create a landing page, where they have to type a password in (the same password for everybody), then it redirects to the 'discussion pages.' My first idea was to use some obfuscated javascript such that upon typing in the password, it redirects them to the discussion pages, but this doesn't sound very secure.
Can anyone recommend me a better way to do this in rails? Ideally they would only have to type it in once, and then it would authenticate them for all the pages automatically (by setting a cookie?) and anyone trying to access a page directly would be redirected to the authentication page.
Hope you can help.,

Three CreateWorth readers reveal what they pay themselves and why.
Joselle Ho, Miso Media
Take-Home: It's every entrepreneur's first instinct to sacrifice for the "good of the company," but at an early stage you are the company. Pay yourself on the low end at first—investors like to see you stretching every dollar—but you need to earn enough to survive or your company won't.
Mackey McNeill, Mackey Advisors
|Meghan Schinderle & Katie Webb, Intertwined Events
Salary: When we started, 30% of every client booked went to the business, and 35% to each of us. As we grew, we began drawing a monthly salary after reviewing our expenses and projected revenue for the month. Now we do a projected budget for the year and review it quarterly to adjust salaries as needed.
Take-Home: Having the formulas in place to calculate pay prepared us for having employees, when we became responsible for others' livelihoods too!
Cash in. Do you draw a salary? How did you decide how much to pay yourself?

Thought these were awful off the truck. I'm always surprised at what a year in the humi can do. These are now on my "buy lots more" list. Just incredible stick from my favorite blenders.
Great cigar, if you want something very strong, this is it. Have a steak first, then light one of these bad boys up.
Excellent cigar, great flavours, nice draw, need to get more of them.
Don Pepin should be proud of Jenny, this cigar is great from foot to nub. I smoked the robusto and the ash held on for 3/4 of the cigar, the construction, flavor, draw everything was perfect. The My Father factory has been putting out some great cigars. They should be proud.
Smooth, clean, great smoke, mellow and relaxing. I really enjoy this cigar when I am not in the mood for something spicy.
I love Pepin's line of cigars but La Duena smokes like lower end Rocky Patel. It's mild all the way. Aroma is good but no pepper at all. IMHO, this a bargain cigar with a little touch of Coffee. Ladies may enjoy this. I would pass on this one and stick with fathers line.
I bought the robusto a few weeks back on my way home from work, having had a few extra dollars and a few hours on my hand to kill, i stopped at the local lounge and decided this was something i had wanted to try, so i decided to go for it. Sweet jesus, I am glad I did. simply put, this is the best cigar i have ever had. Off the light I was a bit skeptical because of the peppery notes coming off the front end, but after about 2 draws those notes cleaned out and turned into a light hint of pepper and leather, the flavor stayed pretty consistent throughout the entire cigar, picking up a little bit of spice on the back half. The finish was very clean and also added a slight note of earthy flavor. This cigar reaffirmed my opinion that the best cigars on the planet are coming from the Pepin, with this creation taking center stage. Do not be surprised when this shows up in cigar of the year talks from various cigar related publications.
Great Stick! Hints of spice as the review above (or below lol) mentions. Also mine (8 or so that I have smoked from various spots) have never been harsh. I actually never had one that had a bad or tight draw. Highly recommend.
Had the robusto tonight. Up front I detected gentle spice, lots of fruit, cream and some mild coffee notes. Med-full flavor, but never breaking the medium body barrier. My only complaint was that the draw was a bit tight, but overall a very very smooth stick. Never bitter, harsh or overwhelming.

Topic: Passing parameters to application.js on :loading/:complete
I'm making an AJAX call on a generically generated element and for the
:loading and :complete parameters I need to be able to pass the id of
the div that I want to be affected. How do I do this?
Current effort:
In my view:
<%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => 'reply' },
:loading => 'PostLoader.disableReplyForm(id)',
:complete => 'PostLoader.enableReplyForm(id)',
:html => { :id => id.to_s + '-reply-form' } %>
<%= image_tag 'ajax-loader-light.gif', :id => @id.to_s +
'-form-indicator', :style => 'display:none;' %>
and in my application.js:
disableReplyForm: function(id) {
Element.show(id + '-form-indicator');
Form.disable(id + '-reply-form');
enableReplyForm: function(id) {
Element.hide(id + '-form-indicator');
Form.enable(id + '-reply-form');
The names of the elements are generated fine (e.g. 14-reply-form), but
I can't seem to figure out the way that rails wants me to pass in the
value for the variable "id", maybe somebody can help.
Thanks a lot,

Anna Guest-Jelley offers a unique, empowering yoga practice suited for women of all shapes, sizes and abilities.
Anna Guest-Jelley, the founder of Curvy Yoga, is a yogi, writer, educator and lifelong champion for women�s empowerment and body acceptance. In her yoga classes, she propagates a number of powerful, impactful teachings: That the time we spend criticizing our bodies is better spent chasing our dreams. That we are deserving of unconditional acceptance and blissful happiness. That we are all perfect, just the way we are. These affirmations were borne out of Anna�s personal journey toward self-love. After years of battling warped self-image, sickeningly low self-esteem and extreme dieting behaviors, Anna finally discovered a place of peace in the practice of yoga. Along with it came a greater sense of self-acceptance�and a passionate desire to share the joys of yoga with other women, to help them overcome their own unique body challenges. �After a lifetime of training myself to disconnect from my body through dieting, I had no clue what I was feeling in my body or emotions,� Anna says. �By inviting me to connect with my breath and body, yoga gave me the tools to rebuild the bridge back to myself.� In most yoga studios�which are often overwhelmingly populated with svelte, young and hyper-flexible women wearing size 0 Lululemon pants�it's easy to feel daunted and out of place.�That�s where Curvy Yoga comes in. A training and inspiration portal offering classes, workshops, teacher trainings, retreats and a virtual yoga studio, Curvy Yoga celebrates women of every size, age and ability. �I started Curvy Yoga because I'd always wanted to find something like it�a body positive place where people of all shapes and sizes could practice in ways that work for their unique bodies,� says Anna, who has been practicing yoga since the late 90s (well before it was �trendy�) and is E-RYT200 and RYT500. Certain yoga postures�particularly, twists and inversions�can present difficulties for fuller-figured women. For this reason, Anna offers helpful modifications and adaptations to help curvier yogis feel comfortable during their practice. �My hope with Curvy Yoga is to offer a welcoming space for people to get what they need to practice comfortably, so they can get on to the important work of listening to their body and meeting its needs,� Anna says. �I think that's something we can all use more of!� Want to get started in your journey toward self-discovery? Tune in below as Anna guides you through a series of beginner-friendly "asanas" (Sanskrit for "poses") that will boost energy, foster positivity and build confidence�on and off the mat. 1.

Speaking of the popular travel sets - Here is a little, and by little I mean teeny-tiny, travel set I picked up at Hankook Teas in LA. This was during a group outing of TeaChat members. Fun day!

They do fit compactly together, but it is a bit frustrating that the cup holds just a little less than the gaiwan part (what is it called again, the not-quite gaiwan?). I wish the cup was a bit less teeny so I wouldn't always be trying to sip very carefully to avoid spilling that first little bit.

Handler Tools
A rather special kind of Tool is the HandlerTool. A HandlerTool provides a way to hook up code (functions, or callables in general) that will run just before a normal request-handler is called. On the outset, a handler tool is little more a Tool that has been created with its point being before_handler. That is:
cherrypy.tools.my_tool = cherrypy.Tool('before_handler', my_func)
cherrypy.tools.my_handler_tool = cherrypy._cptools.HandlerTool(my_func)
are, on the outset, very similar. There are, though, two significant differences:
The handler tool provides an additional method (called handler) that can be used to create a normal request-handler from it, like this:
class MyClass: my_handler = cherrypy.tools.my_handler_tool.handler(kwargs)
With this my_handler has become a regular request-handler, already exposed and all.
If the handler tool is used as a hook, it provides a way to suppress the normal request-handler from running. This is very useful in several cases (e.g. you can use handler-tools to authorize access to parts of your application. If authorization fails you can suppress the normal request handler from running). To do this the tool's callable must return True. If instead it returns False then the normal handler will run as soon as the tool returns. You can think of it like this, if you prefer: The return value of the HandlerTool's callable indicates whether the tool has handled the request or not. If not the normal handler will be called to do so.
Let's see an example. We define a function called authorize. This function checks if the session has a key called allow. If so the user is allowed to see the page, otherwise she's not (how the key got set is not our concern---not for the purposes of this example).
def authorize(): allow = cherrypy.session.get('allow') if allow: # allow normal handler to run return False else: cherrypy.response.body = "" \ "<title>Not allowed</title>" \ "You are not allowed to see this!" \ "" try: del cherrypy.response.headers["Content-Length"] except KeyError: pass # suppress normal handler from running return True
Observe that the function returns False if there is a key allow in the session, and True if there is not. Now lets create a HandlerTool based on the function above:
cherrypy.tools.authorize = cherrypy._cptools.HandlerTool(authorize)
And finally lets write a class that uses the tool:
class SecretStuff: _cp_conf = { 'cherrypy.tools.authorize.on' : True } def index (self): return "" \ "<title></title>" \ "Secret stuff indeed!" \ "" index.exposed = True
Whenever a method of the class SecretStuff is called to handle the request, our authorize tool will run first. The tool will check if an "allow" key is present in the session and, if so, it will return False (saying in effect: "I have not handled the request"). As a result the normal handler (SecretStuff.index in our example) will run. If on the other hand the tool finds no "allow" key, it will put a warning message in response.body and return True ("I have handled the request"), suppressing the execution of the normal handler.

Many owners today have welcomed their pets into all aspects of their lives - including their beds, couches and other spaces once reserved for human lounging only. As owners share more with their dogs, the likelihood of spreading zoonoses - diseases that can be transmitted between species - increases. However, there are easy ways to prevent the most common illnesses, keeping both human and canine members of the family safe and healthy.
Rabies is the most serious disease humans and animals can pass to each other, according to Pennlive.com. Some states, like Pennsylvania, require the rabies vaccine for all pets. Even if it is not required, it is the best way to prevent rabies in dogs and cats, and all animals should be vaccinated between the ages of 12 and 16 weeks old, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Parasites like ticks on dogs can spread zoonotic diseases like Lyme disease, according to the news outlet. Although a dog cannot directly transmit this disease to a human, it can carry ticks into the house and onto human beds and couches, where they can hitch onto people and spread disease. The best way to reduce the risk of ticks and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease is to keep dogs on flea and tick preventative medications and check them for ticks when returning from a walk outside.
Other more common parasites such as worms in dogs and cats and other intestinal parasites such as Giardia in dogs and cats can also be spread to humans and routine checking of fecal samples is recommended to avoid spreading these zoonotic diseases. It is important for all pets to be on monthly pet parasite protection in order to protect them and your family from these diseases. Always practice good hygiene when dealing with your pet - don't allow them to lick your face or hands and always wash your hands thoroughly after handling your pet and picking up pet waste.

A pancake breakfast with a twistWednesday, March 30th, 2011
As president of AOPA I am fortunate to take part in plenty of pancake breakfasts at airports around the nation. They're a tradition as old as aviation, and they're a great way to get to know your fellow pilots. Today, at Sun 'n Fun it was my turn to be one of the hosts. This morning GAMA's Pete Bunce, HAI's Matt Zuccaro, and I served pancakes to members of our associations at a member appreciation breakfast. We couldn't have enjoyed it more and I look forward to doing it again. I think with some practice I could get good at flipping pancakes. I hope you'll come out to our next event and find out for yourself!

Nuclear Medicine Technology
If you have a keen interest in the health sciences and computer technology and are looking for a people-oriented career, consider Nuclear Medicine Technology!
Nuclear Medicine Technology combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and medicine in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease. Though there are many diagnostic techniques currently available, nuclear medicine uniquely provides information about both the structure and function of virtually every major organ system within the body. It is this ability to characterize and quantify physiologic function which separates nuclear medicine from other imaging modalities, such as x-ray. Nuclear medicine procedures are safe; they involve little or no patient discomfort and do not require the use of anesthesia.
The Nuclear Medicine Technologist is a highly specialized healthcare professional who works closely with the nuclear medicine physician. Some of the technologist's primary responsibilities are to:
- Prepare and administer radioactive chemical compounds, known as radiopharmaceuticals
- Perform patient imaging procedures using sophisticated radiation-detecting instrumentation
- Accomplish computer processing and image enhancement
- Analyze biologic specimens in the laboratory
- Provide images, data analysis, and patient information to the physician for diagnostic interpretation.

This document delineates the security requirements for individuals, utilities, and vendors participating in a three-way relationship that involves the privacy and handling of sensitive data. Specifically this document is aimed at the smart grid environment, and is intended to address the concerns of electric utility customers who want to allow value added service providers to access electric usage data that is in the custody of the customer's utility. Other three-way data sharing scenarios may also be addressed using this profile, as the roles of the three parties have been abstracted in such a way as to support mapping to different environments.
This document defines a set of security-centric use cases and adapts controls from the Department of Homeland Security Catalog of Control Systems Security (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2009). The overall approach is to delineate an overarching pattern through the use cases and subsequently link the three parties to individual security control recommendations on a use case (and sometimes use case step) basis. The use cases are explicitly designed to be modular in nature so as to facilitate combining them in different arrangements to describe differing business models.
The primary audience of this document is organizations that are developing or implementing solutions requiring or providing access to energy-related data associated with one entity but held by a different entity. This document is written at the normal level of utility security experience for system owners, system implementers and security engineers.

Craig S. Pikaard
Bloomington, IN | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2010
A new passion is always around the corner for Craig Pikaard, and his enthusiastic pursuit of new passions throughout his career has made him a leading researcher in plant epigenetics, an emerging area of plant molecular genetic research. Pikaard returned to Indiana this year to accept an endowed professorship at Indiana University and joint appointments in the Department of Biology and new Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. Pikaard's lab studies the ways in which genes are activated and repressed, using techniques of genetics, genomics, biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. This multidisciplinary approach reflects "the beauty of biology these days," he says. Born in New Jersey and raised mostly in Pennsylvania, Pikaard chose horticulture as his undergraduate major at Penn State, although he also loved English and biochemistry. At Purdue, courses in the relatively new field of molecular biology captivated him. He became especially interested in research investigating the molecular biology of gene expression. After NIH-supported work with Dr. Ronald H. Reeder at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Pikaard went to Washington University. There he spent the next 19 years investigating the molecular and biochemical nature of the molecular machines that regulate gene expression in plants. This led him into the mainstream of research on gene silencing by short interfering RNAs—one of the hottest topics in plant and animal research. Pikaard thrives both on working with students and being the student himself. What most appeals to him is the creative, hands-on nature of research. "You have two parallel ideas, and you don't see the connection right away," he explains. "You can design your own experiment with your own hands to get to the edge of what we know and we don't know. Then you can discuss these questions with other smart people." With more than 95 manuscripts currently published and nearly $3 million in extramurally funded research, his return to Indiana opens a new chapter in an already-noteworthy research career. When not in the lab, Pikaard gravitates to the outdoors. He sails on Lake Monroe and still enjoys the hiking, cycling, and gardening that sparked his early interest in horticulture. "It was an exciting time at Purdue. As one of the first students in the interdepartmental plant physiology program, we crossed department boundaries to bring together people with a common scientific interest. Young, smart faculty hung out with the graduate students, and it was a hotbed of ideas."

Corn syrup has a bad name and maybe for good reason. I love to make candy and cookies that require it, so I choose to buy this version. It is organic and GMO-free, so it is a "healthier" version of corn syrup. I am not giving up the things I love, but am trying to eat healthier and in moderation. If you found my review helpful, please click the Yes button.
Great product for cooking & candy making
Posted by 4621750690785707881 on May 09, 2016
We have used this particular brand of corn syrup previously. It tastes great & it is non GMO so the flavor is so much better than the regular corn syrup & much healthier, too. It has a very smooth flavor with no aftertaste at all. We love it & will continue to purchase it in the future. This is a great site to order from because they have great prices & fast shipping also. Thank you! Tracie
Healthier version of Corn Syrup - works very well for making sweets that you love! Yum!

Neely's Fish and Chips
- Peanut oil, for frying
- Kosher salt
- 3 large russet potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed, cut into 1/4-inch French fries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup beer
- 8 (4-ounce) cod fillets
- Gina's Spicy Tatar Sauce, recipe follows
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons hot pepper relish
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Dash hot sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat a deep-fryer with oil to 375 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add some salt. In small batches, add the cut potatoes and cook for 4 minutes, until they are soft. Carefully remove them from the boiling water and shock in a bowl of icy cold water. Drain and dry well with paper towels. Arrange the potatoes on a paper towel lined sheet tray and let air-dry. Repeat with each batch.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, the cornstarch, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, baking powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the beer and whisk until incorporated. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to a pie plate. In batches, dredge the fish fillets in the flour, then the beer batter. Let the excess batter drip off and gently lower into the fryer. Fry until golden brown and flip, roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and arrange on a serving platter.
Add the blanched potatoes to the deep-fryer and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with kosher salt. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with the fried fish and the Spicy Tartar Sauce.
Gina's Spicy Tartar Sauce:
Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the flavors develop in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

It seems everyone is talking about stacks, appliances and clouds.
On StorageBod, fellow blogger Martin Glassborow has a post titled [Pancakes!] He feels that everyone from Hitachi to Oracle is turning into the IT equivalent of the International House of Pancakes [IHOP] offering integrated stacks of software, servers and storage.
Cisco introduced its "Unified Computing System" about a year ago, [reinventing the datacenter with an all-Ethernet approach]. Cisco does not offer its own hypervisor software nor storage, so there are two choices. First, Cisco has entered a joint venture, called Acadia, with VMware and EMC, to form the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition. The resulting stack was named Vblock, which one blogger had hyphenated as Vb-lock to raise awareness to the proprietary vendor lock-in nature of this stack. Second, Cisco, VMware and NetApp had a similar set of [Barney press releases] to announce a viable storage alternative to those not married to EMC.
On StorageMojo, fellow blogger Robin Harris presents [A deep dive into Cisco's UCS]. Here is an excerpt:
"Only when it makes sense. Oracle/Sun has the better argument: when you know exactly what you want from your database, we'll sell you an integrated appliance that will do exactly that. And it's fine if you roll your own. But those are industry-wide issues. There are UCS/VCE specific issue as well:
- Cost. All the integration work among 3 different companies costs money. They aren't replacing existing costs – they are adding costs. Without, in theory, charging more.
- Lock-in. UCS/Vblock is, effectively, a mainframe with a network backplane.
- Barriers to entry. Are there any? Cisco flagged hypervisor bypass and large memory support as unique value-add – and neither seems any more than a medium-term advantage.
- BOT? Build, Operate, Transfer. In theory Vblocks are easier and faster to install and manage. But customers are asking that Acadia BOT their new Vblocks. The customer benefit over current integrator practice? Lower BOT costs? Or?
- Price. The 3 most expensive IT vendors banding together?
- Longevity. Industry "partnerships" don't have a good record of long-term success. Each of these companies has its own competitive stresses and financial imperatives, and while the stars may be aligned today, where will they be in 3 years? Unless Cisco is piloting an eventual takeover."
Similar questions and concerns were raised by others, including Greg Ferro's [Questions I Have About Cisco] and Gestalt IT's [One Year Later: Questioning Cisco UCS].Fellow blogger Bob Sutor (IBM) has an excellent post titled [Appliances and Linux]. Here is an excerpt:
"In your kitchen you have special appliances that, presumably, do individual things well. Your refrigerator keeps things cold, your oven makes them hot, and your blender purees and liquifies them. There is room in a kitchen for each of these. They work individually but when you are making a meal they each have a role to play in creating the whole.
You could go out and buy the metal, glass, wires, electrical gadgets, and so on that you would need to make each appliance but it is is faster, cheaper, and undoubtably safer to buy them already manufactured. For each device you have a choice of providers and you can pay more for additional features and quality.
In the IT world it is far more common to buy the bits and pieces that make up a final solution. That is, you might separately order the hardware components, the operating system, and the applications, and then have someone put them all together for you. If you have an existing configuration you might add more blades or more storage devices.
You don't have to do this, however, in every situation. Just from a hardware perspective, you can buy a ready-made machine just waiting for the on switch to be flicked and the software installed. Conversely, you might get a pre-made software image with operating system and applications in place, ready to be provisioned to your choice of hardware. We can get even fancier in that the software image might be deployable onto a virtual machine and so be a ready made solution runnable on a cloud.
Thus in the IT world we can talk about hardware-only appliances, software-only appliances (often called virtual software appliances), and complete hardware and software combinations. The last is most comparable to that refrigerator or oven in your kitchen."
If your company was a restaurant, how many employees would you have on hand to produce your own electricity from gas generators, pump your own water from a well, and assemble your own toasters and blenders from wires and motors? I think this is why companies are re-thinking the way they do their own IT.
Rather than business-as-usual, perhaps a mix of pre-configured appliances, consisting of software, server and storage stacked to meet a specific workload, connected to public cloud utility companies, might be the better approach. By 2013, some analysts feel that as many as 20 percent of companies might not even have a traditional IT datacenter anymore.
Fellow blogger David Salgado (Microsoft) rips into the IT industry for [marketing these "stacks" of components as "private clouds"]. Fellow blogger Mary-Jo Foley (Microsoft) asks ['Private cloud' = just another buzzword for on-premise datacenter?"] adds more attention to the confusion over the terms private and public cloud. Here's an excerpt that shows Microsoft's thinking in this area:
- "The private cloud:
- "By employing techniques like virtualization, automated management, and utility-billing models, IT managers can evolve the internal datacenter into a 'private cloud' that offers many of the performance, scalability, and cost-saving benefits associated with public clouds. Microsoft provides the foundation for private clouds with infrastructure solutions to match a range of customer sizes, needs and geographies.
- The public cloud:
- "Cloud computing is expanding the traditional web-hosting model to a point where enterprises are able to off-load commodity applications to third-party service providers (hosters) and, in the near future, the Microsoft Azure Services Platform. Using Microsoft infrastructure software and Web-based applications, the public cloud allows companies to move applications between private and public clouds."
Finally, I saw this from fellow blogger, Barry Burke(EMC), aka the Storage Anarchist, titled [a walk through the clouds] which is really a two-part post.
The first part describes a possible future for EMC customers written by EMC employee David Meiri, envisioning a wonderful world with "No more Metas, Hypers, BIN Files...." The vision is a pleasant one, and not far from reality. While EMC prefers to use the term "private cloud" to refer to both on-premises and off-premises-but-only-your-employees-can-VPN-to-it-and-your-IT-staff-still-manages-it flavors, the overall vision is available today from a variety of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers.
A good analogy for "private cloud" might be a corporate "intranet" that is accessible only within the company's firewall. This allowed internal websites where information to be disseminated to employees could be posted, using standard HTML and standard web browsers that are already deployed on most PCs and workstations. Web pages running on an intranet can easily be moved to an external-facing website without too much rework or trouble.
The second part has Barry claiming that EMC has made progress towards a "Virtual Storage Server" that might be announced at next month's EMC World conference.
When people hear "Storage Virtualization" most immediately think of the two market leaders, IBM SAN Volume Controller and Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Universal Storage Platform (USP) products. Those with a tape bent might throw in IBM's TS7000 virtual tape libraries or Oracle/Sun's Virtual Storage Manager (VSM). And those focused on software-only solutions might recall Symantec's Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM), DataCore's SANsymphony, or FalconStor's IPStor products.
But what about EMC's failed attempt at storage virtualization, the Invista? After five years of failing to deliver value, EMC has so far only publicised ONE customer reference account, and I estimate that perhaps only a few dozen actual customers are still running on this platform. Compare that to IBM selling tens of thousands of SAN Volume Controllers, and HDS selling thousands of their various USP-V and USP-VM products, and you quickly realize that EMC has a lot of catching up to do. EMC's first delivered Invista about 18 months after IBM SAN Volume Controller, similar to their introduction of Atmos being 18 months after our Scale-Out File Services (SoFS) and their latest CLARiiON-based V-Max coming out 18 months after IBM's XIV storage system.
So what will EMC's Invista follow-on "Virtual Storage Server" product look like? No idea. It might be another five years before you actually hear about a customer using it. But why wait for EMC to get their act together?
IBM offers solutions TODAY that can make life as easy as envisioned here. IBM offers integrated systems sold as ready-to-use appliances, customized "stacks" that can be built to handle particular workloads, residing on-premises or hosted at an IBM facility, and public cloud "as-a-service" offerings on the IBM Cloud.

Kidnapped baby found in Clovis
March 11, 2007
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK — A newborn kidnapped from a Lubbock hospital by a woman wearing hospital scrubs and a hooded jacket was found safe Sunday in New Mexico and returned to her mother.
Four-day-old Mychael Darthard-Dawodu was found in a home in Clovis by police following up on tips, a day after she was taken from Covenant Lakeside Hospital.
"It's a joyous time," Gwen Stafford, senior vice president of Covenant Health System, said at a news conference Sunday. "This has been a roller coaster of emotions. Today there's not many happy stories; this is certainly one in Lubbock, Texas."
Rayshaun Parson, 21, of Clovis, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and jailed in Curry County, N.M., where she had been interviewed by Lubbock and FBI investigators, authorities said. Federal charges also could be pursued, Lubbock police Lt. Scott Hudgens said.
Phone numbers at Parson's address were disconnected Sunday.
Before being flown back to Texas and her parents, Caisha Darthard and Michael A. Dawodu, Mychael was checked at Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis and found to be in good condition, Clovis police Lt. James Schoeffel said. She had earlier been reported to be suffering from jaundice, a common complication in newborns in which a buildup of pigment in the blood causes a yellowing of the skin.
"We're ecstatic to be able to locate the child still in good health and to be able to reunite her with her mother," Hudgens said.
The infant was kidnapped early Saturday by a woman posing as a medical worker who walked out of Covenant Lakeside with the 5-pound baby hidden in her purse, police said.
Law enforcement officials had received information from more than one source that the baby was in Clovis, about 100 miles northwest of Lubbock, said FBI spokeswoman Lori Bailey in Dallas. Bailey declined to elaborate because the investigation was continuing.
Police in Clovis conducted surveillance on an area pinpointed by at least one of the tips and found the baby in a home with an adult female early Sunday, Hudgens said. The suspect was found at another residence in Clovis, he said.
Will Larson, who moved to Clovis recently and lives near Parson's home, said he told police that he had seen her before without a baby but noticed her with a stroller on Saturday and thought that was unusual.
An extradition hearing was scheduled for Monday in Clovis.
Parson has had dealings with the law before. In May 2004, a protective order was issued against her in a domestic violence incident involving a boyfriend, according to New Mexico online court documents. A call to him was not immediately returned Sunday.
In January 2005, she was charged with fraud, according to the online court documents. Information about the disposition of the case was unavailable Sunday.
Hospital surveillance footage showed a woman wearing blue and flower-print hospital scrubs and a gray, puffy jacket with a hood walking out of the hospital around 1:20 a.m. Saturday. She fled in a red pickup truck, possibly with a male accomplice, police said.
The abductor had gone into Mychael's mother's room several times before the baby was taken, telling her the baby needed tests, Stafford said.
Newborns at Covenant are tagged with a security bracelet, said Stafford, who did not give details on how the bracelet worked.
"As soon as the baby and this security piece were separated we were alarmed and knew," Stafford said. "That's what enabled us to be able to get the visual of the pickup."
"Clearly we need to take security to a higher standard," she said. "We're not going to rest until we take it up a notch, another level. I don't know that we can ever have anything perfect."
Susanne Moore, a former Covenant nurse who had a baby Friday at the same hospital, told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the hospital placed an electronic band on her newborn girl's ankle. She said she was told that if the baby were taken too close to a door or elevator, a sensor would cause the door to lock or the elevator to shut down.
Moore said she also was told that if the band were cut off before it was deactivated, the hospital would be locked down.

Social Media Editor and student pilot Benét Wilson last blogged about five holiday gift suggestions for student pilots.—Ed.
As I sit at home and watch the snow falling, I can't help but think how much I'd rather be out taking a flight lesson in my Cessna 172 Skyhawk. But when the weather is bad, we student pilots are grounded. Just because the weather is bad, it doesn't mean that you can't continue your lessons. So here are some suggestions to move ahead in the flight training process.
If you're like me and studying for the knowledge test, the pause you get in cold weather is an ideal time to get some cramming in. I'm using Sporty's Study Buddy app, and I find the flash cards to be especially helpful. Speaking of flash cards, check out these great ones from the Air Safety Institute to help you learn your airspace types and runway signage and markings.
My original flight instructor recommended that I use Microsoft Flight Simulator to practice the basics.
For those of you who are still nervous, like me, when talking to air traffic control, then there are plenty of tools you can use to help break up the nerves, including: LiveATC; a free King Schools course on Non-Towered Airport Communications; and this free Air Safety Institute course, Say It Right: Mastering Radio Communication.
I hope these help in the study process. Please feel free to pass your recommendations on to me ([email protected]) for a future blog post.—Benét J. Wilson
Are you interested in learning to fly? Sign up for a free student trial membership in the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and receive six issues of Flight Training magazine plus lots of training tools and resouces for student pilots. Click here for more information.

Your pet deserves this priceless holiday gift
The best present you can give your pet during the holiday season is so large that it cannot fit in a box, needs no fancy ribbon, costs absolutely nothing and can be delivered only by you.
You should consider giving your dog or cat the precious gift of safety, because the holiday period is one of the more dangerous - and poisonous - times of the year for pets, according to animal welfare advocates.

Pets face an assortment of hazards: some hidden, like the strings used to tie the turkey during roasting that can get entangle a pet's intestines if ingested, and others not-so-hidden, like chocolate which is toxic and can kill in even small amounts.
�Many of the winter traditions we enjoy can be harmful to our companion animals,� Dr. Steven Hansen, a board-certified veterinary toxicologist and senior vice president of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, states in a media release. �When preparing for this festive season, be mindful of activities that can be potentially hazardous to pets.�
Pets are at a higher risk of being poisoned because toxins are everywhere during the holiday season with people medications, food and plants accounting for most pet poisonings, animal welfare advocates say.
People medications
The number of pets being poisoned from human medications increases during the holiday season, because people have tendency to become careless, animal welfare officials say.
"All prescription and non-prescription drugs should be safely stored," Dr. Hansen said.
But many people keep their medications in daily pill reminders, in their luggage or even leave it out when staying with family or friends, making them easy targets for pets, Dr. Hansen said. "Even in small doses, human medications can be potentially lethal to pets."
Many foods, especially chocolate and other candies, are toxic to pets, animal welfare advocates say.
�Depending on the dose ingested, chocolate (bakers, semi sweet, milk and dark) is potentially poisonous to many animals,� Dr. Hansen said. �Vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, hyperactivity and increased thirst, urination and heart rate can be seen with the ingestion of as little as one-quarter ounce of baking chocolate by a 10-pound dog.�
Other highly toxic food are macadamia nuts, which can cause temporary weakness in back legs, and any food containing Xylitol, a sugar substitute that can make a dog's blood sugar drop quickly and cause liver damage.
Wayne Ingmire, a veterinarian at Mokena Animal Clinic near Chicago, says people should avoid giving their dogs and cats people food because pets who get table scraps are likely to get sick.
�Providing rich human foods is just a bad idea, and it can cause pancreatitis and general internal illness, Dr. Ingmire states in a media release from the North American Pet Health Insurance Association. "Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, and it can be life threatening. When a pet is diagnosed as having pancreatitis, he/she becomes more susceptible to developing it again so you want to avoid your pet ever having it."
Pets who get sick after eating people food usually need veterinary treatment, Dr. Ingmire said. "If your pet becomes ill with bloody vomit and diarrhea after consuming turkey or ham or getting into the garbage, take your pet to your veterinarian immediately.�
Leon Robbins, a veterinarian at Grandview Animal Hospital near Winston-Salem, North Carolina, says the best way to avoid digestive problems is to give a pet its normal diet."If there is food left over, don't give it to your pet as a holiday treat," Dr. Robbins states in a media release from Pet Sitters International of King, North Carolina. "Instead give baby carrots, green beans or broccoli as treats."
Holiday decorations
Holiday trees and decorations also can pose dangers for pets, Dr. Robbins explained, because they are attracted to bright lights, shining ornaments and dangling tinsel and ribbons, which can damage a pet's intestines if ingested. "Try to use big, pet-friendly ornaments and keep the ornaments, as well as the lights, out of a pet's reach," he said.Animal welfare advocates urge people to consider decorating trees with ornaments that are less enticing to dogs and cats.
Water for holiday trees also can pose a health hazard, animal welfare experts say. Dogs and cats may try to drink tree water, which can harbor bacteria, so use pet-friendly preservatives in it rather than chemical fertilizers. Tree stands designed to prevent pets from accessing the water also are an option.
Beware of HandbagsHandbags of guests also can be a reservoir of danger for pets, according to Dr. Ahna Brutlag, assistant director at Pet Poison Helpline in Minneapolis. Many people carry items in handbags such as prescription medications, pain medications, sugarless chewing gum (with Xylitol), asthma inhalers, cigarettes, coins and hand sanitizers, which all can be toxic to pets.Dr. Brutlag advises storing handbags in a safe place where pets cannot access them. �Many dogs and cats simply cannot resist the smell and taste of new things, sometimes causing them to ingest items that can land them at the emergency veterinary clinic on Christmas eve,� he states in a media release. �During the holidays, our homes are filled with new and interesting items.�
Holiday dos and don'ts
The following information comes from the ASPCA, North American Pet Health Insurance Association and Pet Sitters International. Foods that pose danger to pets include:
Other holiday safety and poison concerns for pets include:
- Rich, fatty foods like turkey skins or gravy, which can cause stomach upset, diarrhea or pancreatitis
- Bones, which can tear or obstruct a pet's intestinal tract. Poultry bones can be especially dangerous or even fatal to animals.
- Onions, which are are toxic and can destroy a dog's red blood cells, leading to anemia. Also avoid foods containing high amounts of onion powder.
- Grapes and raisins, which contain toxins that can cause kidney failure.
- Chocolate, especially baking chocolate, which can kill a dog. It affects the nervous system and causes urinary system and heart muscle damage.
- Coffee, which is dangerous, so watch out for grounds and whole beans.
- Nicotine, which is a stimulant that can increase the heart rate leading to collapse and death.
- Alcohol, avocado, macadamia nuts, yeast dough are also dangerous.
- Lilies, which can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested.
- Mistletoe, holly berries and poinsettias, which are toxic to pets if ingested.
- Anti-freeze and ice-melting chemical, which are toxic to pets in ingested.
- Candles/open flames, which a pet may accidentally knock over and start a fire.
- Aluminum foil and cellophane, which can damage a pets intestinal track if ingested.
- Electrical cords, which a pet can trip over and get injured or chew on and get a shock.
- Batteries, which can cause ulceration to a pet's mouth, tongue or gastrointestinal tract if bitten or swallowed.More reports about dogs and safetyLiving room item cause most pet injuriesIn emergency, your pet's survival depends on youNo ID means death for 800,000 pets a yearProtect your pet from theft and torturePets capable of swallowing strange objectsWays to keep pets safe in storms, disastersMore reports about dogs and safetyReports about dogs, behavior and safetyDogs always mouth off before they biteDogs feel no guilt about misbehavingThe secret to getting your dog to behaveA fun place for dogs where fighting often eruptsHey dummy, your dog's smarter than you thinkTips to help you pet cope during fireworks seasonReports about dogs, poison and safetyGrapes, mushrooms, pot are leading pet poisonsPosions found in pet collars, bowls, beds and toysCommon household item causes most pet poisonsPet poisons bloom everywhereThis information about poisoning can save your pet's lifeReports about dogs, food and safetyToxic levels of chemical found in dog foodsChocolate, candies mean danger for dogsIf a pet accidentally ingests any potentially harmful products, emergency advice can be obtained from the ASPCA�s Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 (a fee will apply) or visit www.aspca.org/apcc.

This event is expired.
East Timor proclaimed national independence from Indonesia in 1999. This ended 25 years of warfare and resistance beginning in 1974, when Indonesia invaded the eastern portion of Timor Island. Prior to this, the region had been a colony of Portugal for over 400 years. Today, East Timor is the poorest country in Southeast Asia, with a long history of rule and oppression by outside forces. Jill Forshee has been gathering accounts from a variety of East Timorese for the past 12 years, asking people to tell their stories in their own terms. Her lecture will focus on textiles and folklore in East Timor, especially the stories that weavers tell of the meanings of cloth and the events in their lives over the past 40 years. We will hear stories from three selected weavers in Forshee's study.
Jill Forshee holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from UC Berkeley and has worked in the Indonesian archipelago for over 20 years. Currently she is collaborating with Roy Hamilton, UCLA Fowler Museum, on a museum exhibition and book on Timor island. This research builds on earlier work and collaborations that were part of Weavers' Stories of Island Southeast Asia, an exhibition, video, and catalogue produced by the Fowler Museum.

Aural, your GIF animation is disgusting. Please remove it. Thanks.
It's sadistic and has no place in our forum.
As I cannot be in Colombia full time until a couple of years I have to entrust my business to one of my family members. It's not that I don't trust her, it's that I want to be able to maintain full power of the pizzeria. How can I set up a system so I can see all the profit we make even if she tries changing it?
@Auralnauts:Not sure if they are an "Authorized" Weber dealer but you should know there is a huge store about 15 minutes from Medellin, Colombia. They sell all types of BBQ grills, including Weber grills. The store is called Grill Academy and it's located in the Indiana Mall which is at the round point up on top of Las Palmas as you're heading for the airport in Rionegro. In addition to selling BBQ grills they also sell sports and gym equipment along with bicycles but the entire first floor of their store is dedicated to BBQ grills and grill accessories.Here's a link to their web site: http://grillacademy.com.co/Nata S.
