Old Fashioned Eggnog
- 1 quart milk
- 1 cup superfine or confectioners' sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise and seeds scraped out
- 12 large eggs*, separated
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups bourbon
- 1 cup brandy
- Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the yolks until pale yellow and thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly pour in 1 cup of the hot milk, whisking constantly. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the hot milk, whisking. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heavy wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks start to form. Slowly add 1/4 cup of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
In a large bowl with clean beaters, beat the cream until thick and frothy. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat to soft peaks.
In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled egg yolk mixture and the bourbon and brandy. Fold in the sweetened whipped cream, then the egg whites. Refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
To serve, sprinkle nutmeg over the top and garnish with chocolate shavings. Serve chilled.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Super Talent, a leading provider of high-end DRAM and flash products, announced on Tuesday that it would start selling its own-built workstations with Super Talent-branded components inside. The move is indisputably very ambitious, but it is completely unclear whether Super Talent will be successful with its endeavor.
"Providing system level solutions is a very important milestone for our company. In modern enterprise computing memory and disk architectures have become a major differentiator in system performance. We leveraged our years of expertise in designing and producing world class DRAM and SSD products to provide PCIe RAIDDrive Workstations for our customers," said CH Lee, chief operating officer at Super Talent.
The first workstation from Super Talent will be based on quad-core Intel Core i7 microprocessor, Intel X58 core-logic and quipped with the company's PC3-10600 (1333MHz DDR3 memory). The main selling-point for the system will be PCI Express-based solid-state drives from SuperTalent in RAID mode that can provide up to 6TB of storage space in total.
According to Super Talent, benchmarking data taken with Crystal Disk Mark v2.2 shows unprecedented sustained sequential read speed of over 1.5GB/s (1500 MB/sec), sequential write speed of nearly 1.35GB/s, whereas benchmarking data taken with HDBench showed random read speed of 725MB/s and random write speed of 515 MB/s. Super Talent did not reveal specs of the benchmarked system.
The ultra-high performance systems will not be available on shelves of local electronic stores, but will have to be custom-built.
"When customers contact Super Talent they will work with a professional trained system technician to help them custom design the system to their needs," Super Talent said in its statement.

It has happened to many owners: you're sitting with your canine companion, perhaps in the middle of your weekly dog grooming session, and you feel a lump on your dog's body that was not there before. Before you jump to conclusions and assume the worst, call your veterinarian to get an expert opinion.
According to PetMD.com, most of the time these lumps are fatty tumors called lipomas, which are generally benign. They are soft, rounded fat deposits right under the skin and are not painful to the dog. Lipomas are usually freely movable under the skin, they do not invade surrounding tissues and do not spread to other parts of the body. Lipomas usually do not need to be removed unless they begin growing quickly or impair a dog's movement in some way.
However, to ensure that these lumps are not a sign of cancer in dogs, the vet will usually recommend a needle aspirate sample or biopsy so they can examine the tumor's cells under the microscope, the news outlet reports. This allows vets to diagnose more serious issues like a spindle cell tumor in dogs or lymphoma in dogs. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, lymphoma, is more often characterized by swelling of the dog's lymph nodes and this condition should always be reported to your veterinarian immediately.
Some lipomas, will continue to grow and become a nuisance to your dog, so the vet may recommend a dog incision to remove them. Always discuss all of the treatment options with your vet to provide the best quality of life possible to your pet.

So I have a giant German shepherd, right? Jake weighs maybe 85-90 lbs and that's solid muscle because he doesn't eat enough to have an ounce of fat on his frame. Solid, hard, powerful muscle. (His predecessor, Louie, weighed in at 105 lbs of pure muscle.)
But he's a nice guy.
Oh, Jake has his Alpha Dog moments which generally involve nothing more than posturing, but never with little dogs, never with old dogs, never with girl dogs, and only with the nasty ass feral cat that keeps attacking his cat. (Poor Ichi-ban is really torn up again. Damn feral cat.)
The people at the far end of the block, who shall hereafter be known as the Multi-Prius Solar Power People– don't get me wrong, I have nothing against hybrids or Toyotas or solar power but these people are obsessed with Prius's and solar power– have this little dog, a terrier mix. She weighs maybe 25 pounds. And… Tom, are you paying attention? They never keep her on a leash. She roams the neighborhood from stem to stern, chasing cats and people alike and… wait for it… attacking Jake.
Here's the long version – Since I'm avoiding nasty yellow jackets I've been walking Jake early in the morning and after dusk, on a leash, in our neighborhood. The stupid Multi-Prius Solar Power People leave their garage door open, oh, I don't know, seems like 24 hours a day, thus their stupid mini-attack dog is always out in front.
If I walk on the sidewalk past their house, she attacks Jake. If I walk in the middle of the street past their house, she attacks Jake. If I walk on the other side of the street, she attacks Jake. And she'll follow us around the corner and even across the busy intersection– attacking Jake.
Don't you think it would occur to them to keep their damn dog indoors or at least restrained? If not because of Jake but because eventually she's going to get flattened by a car?
Before the election these people were really bad about ignoring her because they were apparently in the midst of a Prius convention which took up our entire block. One morning, at 7 a.m., I approached their house. Jake was, as usual, on a leash. This dog came flying down the driveway, right into his face, and bit him on the neck.
Now Jake, who has never reacted to this dog, who has put up with all kinds of shit from this dog for an entire year, had finally had enough.
He growled at her and lunged in her direction, chasing her into the street. He did not bite her or injure her in any way. He didn't even make contact because his leash is short. But the dog began screaming, you know, that high-pitched barking… makes you think your dog is being murdered?
The dog's owner ran out of his house, and then his neighbor came out of his house, and they both yelled at me – "Did your dog bite her? Did your dog bite her?"
Yeah, blame the German shepherd.
"Of course my dog didn't bite her. Your dog bit my dog."
Then followed way too much harrumphing and posturing, which ended by me informing him that his dog was the problem and had been for a year.
"I would appreciate it if you would restrain your dog so I could walk on the sidewalk past your house without being harassed." (You dumbshit mother fucker.)
To make a long story short, he has made more of an effort to keep his garage door shut and his dog indoors. However, just this past Monday morning Jake and I headed out the front door and down our front walkway at 6:45 a.m. and who should fly into Jake's face? That stupid dog out walking without a leash with its equally stupid (woman) owner.
Damn it! Are these people incapable of learning?
Once again Jake was having none of it and he growled at the dog. The woman totally freaked out. Of course she could not get her idiot dog to come to her. The dog continued to circle Jake's legs, lunging at him, nipping at him. I kept Jake under control, but you should have heard me. I was so pissed off.
German shepherds get a bad rep because of their size, but Jake has never once attacked a dog, cat, person, goat, deer, rabbit… He'd like to get that nasty cat but the worst he does is chase him out of the yard.
The one good thing that came out of this last encounter (I hope) is maybe the Multi-Prius Solar Power people are beginning to realize it would just take one good nip on Jake's part and whoops… And the responsibility will be theirs. I'm obeying the leash law and my dog is not the aggressor.
I'm all for calling Animal Control but my husband doesn't want to declare war just yet…

Recognizing and exercising spiritual gifts is a confusing and difficult issue for many believers. At one end of the spectrum are Christians who may attend a church for many years without ever recognizing any spiritual gift. That causes passivity in the church and can lead to a disabled body of believers—one with severed limbs and missing organs (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:14–25; Ephesians 4:11–13).
At the other end of the spectrum are professing Christians who presumptuously try to exercise gifts they don't possess. The havoc caused by such people is readily apparent in many charismatic churches—the abundance of self-appointed apostles and female preachers is a prime example.
In the following audio clip, John MacArthur discusses the truth about spiritual gifts.
If you are a new creature in Christ, the Holy Spirit lives in you and has uniquely gifted you to serve the church. The Strange Fire conference will provide much needed clarity to those still struggling with identifying and exercising their spiritual gifts. For more information, please visit our conference website.

I have always wondered if I was worthy to be given a gift(s). By the sheer love and wonderful grace of God I have been comforted and relieved to know that I am. (Except I still don't FEEL worthy). However, I still don't know what my gift(s) is(are). How can I find out?
THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY much for always being there when I struggle with an overwhelming barrage of emotions, chaos and soooo many other situations too numerous to mention. Thank you for setting me on the right path and the courage to search for the TRULY RIGHT and wise answers and guidance.
May GOD empower you so much more in your ministry to all who are confused, lost and in denial.

Common Core Must Be Eliminated
To The Reader's Forum:
Taxpayers spend billions of dollars on K-12 education, most of it going for teacher and administrative salaries. A large percentage of union dues is used to back politicians who then vote on more money "for the children." Politicians seem unaware of the real danger of Common Core, the federal takeover of education in states. Common Core must be terminated. Congress must stop funding this violation of our U.S. Constitution and NY Constitution and laws. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education must be eliminated.
States, parents, and local school boards should be in control of education. Parents must have a right to choose where their children go to school. State aid should follow the student so that parents can send their child to any type of school they choose: charter, church, private, or be homeschooled. Competition among K-12 schools would raise standards. By making commonsense changes, the outdated practice of teacher tenure, which is political payoff for votes, would be eliminated. Citizens must stop feeding this merry-go-round.
Skip Axelson

Tour The NYC One Bedroom Apartment That Doubles As A Fashion Showroom
Manhattan is a noisy place, in every sense of the word. You can feel the crowds, the traffic, the fast pace, the 24/7-ness of it. So calm and quiet—in the visual sense as well as the aural one—are great luxuries here. For those and many other reasons, Catherine Montgomery's Greenwich Village apartment is the height of luxe. The New York designer James Huniford's subtly orchestrated arrangement of elegant proportions and understated colors and textures—punctuated by bold accents and unexpected juxtapositions of styles and periods—offers a haven from the bustle of city life.
In the living room of Catherine Montgomery's Greenwich Village apartment, which was designed by James Huniford, the custom sofa is upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, the armchair is by Milo Baughman, and the 1956 cocktail table is by Bruce Goff; the acrylic table is vintage, the sculpture is by Aaron Spangler, and the carpet and dining chairs are custom designs.
Upon entering the apartment, visitors are greeted by the sight of an austere armchair from the Vienna Secession, which sits next to a beguiling computer-animated projection, Rapunzel #6, by Jennifer Steinkamp, with its silently undulating, bright blue–flowered tendrils. The living room, which commands a serene view of the Hudson River, is a study in quiet blues and grays (interspersed with hints of brighter tones) that bring the sense of the water indoors. "The movement of the water, the way it changes color according to the light—I wanted to draw on that for the interior," Huniford explains, citing the example of the rippling, wavelike pattern of the room's custom-designed carpet.

In short: Not just the toughest, but the best 10k in Britain!In full: What a great day - A seriously hard 10k but fantastic atmosphere, perfect for New Year's Day, excellent value for money - looking foward to posing round the office next week with my "Britain's Toughest 10k" mug - Extremely highly recommeded. My favourite 10k. When can I book up for next year?Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Do it!In full: Your choices: You can strike out and go as fast as you can on this tough course - ridiculous. Or you can wear fancy dress for the toughest 10k in the country and spend the run having fun and struggling to keep your footing whilst dressed as whatever takes your fancy, also ridiculous. Or you do do something in the middle - a compromise that no Trionium runner would ever consider. So whatever you choose, it will be a ridiculous way to start your New Year, but what fantastic fun! Brilliant organisation and fab fun fun fun! Get your name on the back of the 2010 T shirt - it's a must.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Wow! I'm still buzzing!!In full: Fantastic day out on Box Hill. I had been nervous about this one for weeks, but it's not one to worry about times and positions. The handicap system meant that faries, nun's, santa's were spread all over the course. A bit expensive at £26 but I assume it is that they need to keep the numbers low.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Great Race ... You know what you're going to get!In full: This race is called the Knacker Cracker for a good reason. Even the few flat bits are tough because you are recovering from a steep up or downhill. What a great final hill... makes the 100's of steps worthwhile .... well maybe not!Date of review: January 1, 2009

About the Author: Heather Carlin Fabrikant serves as the Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
What do the arid dunes of Mauritania have to do with the snowy mountains of Idaho?
The Mauritanian National Special Olympics Snowshoeing team, of course!
Busy preparing his team for the February 7-13, 2009, Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho, Coach Eyde Ould Sidi Mohamed took a few minutes to reflect on the team's upcoming trip and explain how a team in Mauritania trains for a winter sport that could never exist in this balmy, dusty and flat capital city.
"Countries without snow practice in sand," Eyde explained simply. "They use the dunes like mountains."
The Middle East and North African Office of the Special Olympics, based in Cairo, recently sponsored a snowshoeing training session for coaches, in which Eyde participated. The regional committee provides the equipment for training and the eventual games – including snowshoes, hats, gloves and jackets – items unavailable in the arid desert. Unlike the Paralympics – for those with purely physical limitations – the Special Olympics take place every two years and target the developmentally disabled.
A full-time English teacher by trade, Eyde was recruited by the Special Olympics regional office in Amman, Jordan. In 1997, with enthusiasm and hope, he accepted a job to coach the team and has juggled the two careers ever since. With Eyde, Mauritania has participated in four Special Olympics Competitions: two in the United States (North Carolina, 1999 and Alaska, 2001), one in Ireland (2003) and one in China (2007). Before 2003, the Special Olympics games were held exclusively in the United States.
When asked about his past trips to America, Eyde said: "We love the diversity of the U.S."
For this year's games, the Mauritanian team is paired with a host town in Idaho that will welcome them two days in advance. This year, a non-athlete delegate – Hamza Ould Idoumou – will participate in a concurrent Global Youth Summit. Last week, Hamza received a phone call from the Special Olympics director in the U.S. asking him about his favorite sports and cautioning him to bring warm clothes. When asked if he had any questions, Hamza wondered whether he would be able to call his parents from the U.S. Most athletes migrate to Nouakchott from their home villages miles away – including Kankossa, Ayoun and Kiffa – in order to train for the competition. Due to the high cost of transportation, their families are unable to join them in the capital and can only wish them well via telephone.
In a country of barely three million, with at least 1,300 recognized developmentally handicapped citizens, there is little public information about disabilities. Most schools refuse to accept mentally handicapped children and few specialized institutions are equipped with appropriate programs. Even in the capital, individualized care is not available.
The Special Olympics provide a chance for the team members to become respected and productive members of society. Aside from their training, the athletes take part in public awareness activities designed to dispel stereotypes and open communication. Eyde finds that these are effective; family members of disabled athletes are often initially ashamed to talk but come to accept and revvitalize their loved ones. In addition, he draws a distinction between perceptions of the mentally challenged in the interior of the country where literacy and education levels are lower, and those in the capital where more people are exposed to, and educated about, handicaps.
In 2006, Mauritania began its First Annual National Special Olympics Competition, designed to run concurrent to the global games. Over 150 athletes took part, and by the second edition of the games in 2008, there were over 200 competitors. All of these events are made possible through a vast network of volunteers. Eyde says he initially relied on those he knew – his family and friends – but as word spread, the volunteer base expanded.
When asked if things have changed for the mentally handicapped since he first began taking part in these games, Eyde states "This year is better than 1999, but there is much more work to do."
He explains that many Mauritanians suffer from epilepsy and lack the money, medication and the ability to follow a regime of daily doses. During the Special Olympics Games, athletes benefit from free screenings in the "Health Athletes Program," but many need this kind of attention at home.
The 2009 snowshoe team explained their motivation to participate in the Special Olympics in many ways: sports are healthy, they are fun, they have the opportunity to travel and meet people with similar challenges from around the world.
After avowing that the games were more about participation than competition, three-time Mauritanian Special Olympics athlete Silla Boudy stated with a grin, "We beat Venezuela 3 – 0 in soccer in China… We will bring back a Gold medal this year!"
Stay tuned for reflections from the team when they return from Boise, Idaho.

@ Heather,
Reading this gave me a slight deja vu' of "Cool Runnings" the movie about the Jamaican bobsled team.

Share Your Reflection

Thank you for this wonderful interview!

Dr. Marty
Thank you for this wonderful interview!
Dr. Marty makes a comment early on about the words "judgment" and "crisis" having the same root...or something to that effect. Does anyone know more about that?
His remarks on greed are very helpful. In Buddhist practice, there are antidotes "prescribed" to counter unskillful tendencies such as greed, and one of those antidotes is generosity. In the spirit of generosity, I'd like to share this wonderful project, which I just came across today: the 29-Day Giving Challenge (www.29gifts.org). I have no affiliation with the project, except as a newly-signed-on participant.
For the production/web staff of SOF, it would be helpful to know how long these interviews are so that listeners can budget their time for listening. :-)

Thanks Jennifer--good suggestion about posting the length
Thanks Jennifer--good suggestion about posting the length. We wanted to keep these things manageably short (under 20 minutes) while still allowing time to dive deep. This one was about 15 minutes long. Did that seem like an ok length? Would you prefer shorter? Just curious.

Hi, Kate,

Hi, Kate,
Yes, the length of this interview was fine for me. I'm happy for longer ones, too. Sometimes I just split them up into two listening sessions. Hard, perhaps, to get a lot of substance in less than 20 minutes? Many thanks for the wonderful work!

I found the notion of this particular blog fascinating:
I found the notion of this particular blog fascinating: the topic has been on my mind.
Since watching the movie *I.O.U.S.A.*, as well as reading *Empire of Debt,* it is fair to say I have found myself transformed. I paid no/little attention to the economy before this, and now I realize I, and we, must live differently -- on the personal level and on the social level...all social levels. We can no longer continue to expand our debt, whether for war or for domestic programs. It is simply unconscionable.
As a "liberal," I must re-examine how we act: creating a new program or a new agency just can't be our modus operandi any more. I don't have answers, yet; but I know we must--each of us think what it means.
I live in an area where there are many homeless. I realize I can't just assume there are programs to help, while I from time to time give the individuals I see $1, $2, or $20. It has occurred to me to talk with one of those I know by name and say something like this--"You can count on me for $10 each week; since we each must do something these days, you do something that helps others for that $10. It may be picking up paper, helping someone cross the street, listening to someone who needs to talk. You don't need to tell me what it is. Just do something."
We must take care of each other in new ways. And we must not only save but we must also address the ... what...at least $8 trillion debt. It demands each one of us--Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, whatever the labels--think and then live differently.

You are making the bridge between two people who are
You are making the bridge between two people who are sharing the same place and are separated by different dimensions. Instead of seeing darkness, you are seeing light in these people. Your material help with the money is just a metaphor of the spiritual change both of you are experiencing. Do you have that impresion of well being? I guess yes. Does the homeless person has that impression of well being? I guess yes. I have it too. Thanks for sharing that with others.

What is coming then is an evident spiritual
What is coming then is an evident spiritual transformation that will change our present dimensions, and is already giving - to those who are ready to feel it - an impression of well being.

I have noticed, more than post 9/11 that more people are
I have noticed, more than post 9/11 that more people are attending worship and I believe it has to do with the questions they are beginning to ponder in their minds about recent economic events. The issue of money is an overriding issue in my family. It seems to be an anxiety binder upon which we focus, instead of thinking about how we connect meaningfully with one another. So, recent economic events rev up that anxiety in my family. I believe that the hopes and dreams for my future have been squelched since the amounts that were on paper in my investments and pension is reduced so drastically. That has caused me to think about today and what is important in my life right now, and live that out rather than getting very invested in my economic dreams for tomorrow.

This program reminded me the response of the church in
This program reminded me the response of the church in Latin America to the poor pre-liberation theology. A Buddhist telling me that life is suffering. How different is that from a priest telling a campesino to bear his cross with nobility. It lets an economic system that caused this crisis go unchallenged. There was no discussion of social sin as in critical theology. No mention that perhaps unregulated free-market capitalism not only will never care for the environment, it doesn't do such a good job taking care of humans either. No discussion of social sin, structural sin, economic systems that are destructive, therefore evil. Instead psychotherapeutical solutions where the person is considered as an individual separate from the economic context. Do people need "stress reduction strategies"? I think they need jobs. We as people of faith and charity and justice have to be clear enough in our economic critique to work for changing capitalism to a more humane system. Along with more "virtue," more critical theology.

Hi Rita Two things: I believe that Smokey was a brother to my dog and Aunt Ann's dog. Uncle Herman and the rest of us got him from Aunt LaFern. We smuggled our dogs into Papa's house where Aunt Nell lived at the time. She was away and didn't like pets living in the house. She came home before we left and wasn't too happy, but we laughed all the way home. The two dogs that we took back home with us were too young to take from their mother, but we were all leaving. We named our red haired dog Lucky because he was lucky to live making a long trip like he did. I believe Aunt Ann named her dog Princess. I remember Uncle Herman named his Smokey because of the color and you girls received a dog that had many connections and stories to our family. He got the dog for you girls. He was always thinking of you and truly loved each of you. We heard about Smokey over time and felt like we grew up with the "triplets". I am so glad that you enjoyed him.ReplyDelete
The dog that you do not know the name of may have been Doe Doe. Uncle Herman brought this dog to our home, along with Betty Jane and your mother. Your folks must have had a convertible at the time, because I can remember Betty Jane scolding me for touching the ceiling of the car. She said that I would make it leak if I put my hands up there again. That was all in the same trip to our house.Replies
Linda, I never knew any of this. I just knew that Smokey was one of the last things Dad ever brought to us. Doe Doe is right. I remember now. I have a couple of photos but don't know if they are Doe Doe. I was so much younger than Betty it is like we grew up in different families. Thank you SO much for helping me with these memories. They will mean a lot to my daughter and grandkids.Delete
And your great-niece, great-nephew, and great-great-nephew (yep, had to do that). These comment about Great-Grandpa Hermon have made another mystery be solved, why Granny (Betty) was afraid of being on the road. Driving terrified her and being a passenger was worse.ReplyDelete

I recognized Smokey because he looked just like our dog, Princess. I had no idea we had triplet pups. I love the picture of your dad with you (or your sister?) and the dog.ReplyDelete

Topic: "Multiple Inheritance" (mixins) and WebServices
My team has finally hammered out a web service API for our current project. Looking at the API needs it appears to me that a multiple inheritance model is appropriate and it will really help us divide-and-conquer as we actually implement the API.
In broad terms (damn NDA) we want to provide a generic version of our webservice that can be used to accomplish every task that connecting systems will need to do. We also know that we will see some performance improvements if we extend that base service with a version for each connecting system to offer some convienience classes. No problems there, that is a matter of single inheritance which is supported.
Where we would see an improvement with multiple inheritance is in creating, for example, a User Authentication webservice and a User Modification webservice and then having our Base webservice inhert from each of those. That would allow one member of the dev team to work on a smaller webservice, keep things modular, and make maintenance easier. Psuedo-code for .NET/Java would look kind of like this:
MyGenricWebService inherits from MyUserAuthWebService, MyUserModWebService
authuser(login, pass)
newemail(userid, newemailaddr)
MySpecificWebService inherits from MyGenericWebservice
one_call_new_email(login, pass, newemailaddr)
I understand that Ruby provides something similar to multiple inheritance via mixin modules. I have looked at examples and it appears that if I define a method in a module and then mix it in, my class then exposes the constants and methods in that module as its own. Is this correct?
If I create methods in a module and then include that module in a WebService based class will those module methods also be exposed as WebService methods? As SOAP methods able to generate a proper WSDL?
Pseudo-code for what I want from rails
class MyGenericWebservice < ActionWebService::Base
include 'MyUserAuthMixIn'
include 'MyUserModMixIn'
def some_generic_method
class MySpecificWebService < MyGenericWebService
def some_specific_method
Would I be able to make SOAP calls to MySpecificWebService.my_generic_method as well as MySpecificWebService.some_method_in_user_auth_mixin?
Thanks for your help! I'm coming from a Java/.NET/PHP background and I'm still being retrained to trust the RoR framework to do the right thing!

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - Pictures by Badmintonphoto (archive)
The Yonex German Open is the start of a crucial week for shuttlers still battling for Olympic tickets and also chance for players to get back into the swing of things.
The European swing of the BWF world circuit will see the German Open followed by Yonex All England Championship and Swiss Open.
The All England, the final OSIM BWF World Superseries Premier tournament of the Olympic qualifying period, will offer 11,000 points to the winners. The German Open and the Swiss Open are both Grand Prix Gold tournaments and offer 7,000 ranking points to the winners. As such, there is still plenty to play for.
The maindraw begins on Wednesday and on Tuesday, 28 players made it through the qualifying round, including Thailand's Salakjit Ponsana (right).
The former SEA Games champion defeated Germany's Karin Schannse and Hong Kong's Tse Ying Suet to make the maindraw.
Joining her in the first round are Indonesia's Lindaweni Fanetri and Maria Febe Kusumastuti and France's Sashina Vignes Waran.
Due to the luck of the draw, Sashina will meet Salakjit in the opening round, thus handing one of the qualifiers a guaranteed place in the second round.
Making the opening round is a big boost for Salakjit, who has not had the best of luck with injuries in recent times.
China's world No. 2 Wang Xin is the top seed for the women's singles event while four-time world champion Lin Dan is the men's top seed. The German Open offers US$125,000 in prize money.

Public Power Partnership to Promote Electric Drive Vehicles in New York
May 20, 2003
ALBANY—New York Power Authority (NYPA) trustees Tuesday announced creation of a $1.2 million fund to help the state's municipal and rural electric cooperative systems purchase electric and hybrid-drive vehicles for their municipal fleets. The program will be conducted in cooperation with the Municipal Electric Utility Association of New York State (MEUA), whose members serve 500,000 New York electricity consumers.
"This partnership furthers Governor George Pataki's clean air initiatives in communities already linked to NYPA's clean hydropower resources," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer of the Power Authority.
Through the NYPA/MEUA Municipal Alternative Vehicle Partnership Program, municipal and cooperative electric systems can apply for up to $22,000 in financing toward the purchase of commercially available electric drive vehicles. All-electric vehicles produce zero-emissions and run on an electric motor powered by a battery pack; hybrid-electric vehicles use a combination of a gasoline engine and electric motor to increase gas mileage, and reduce tailpipe emissions.
"This is certainly the jump start MEUA needs in our partnership program with the New York Power Authority," said Bob Mullane, MEUA Executive Director.
"And we appreciate the support of Chairman Louis P. Ciminelli, President Zeltmann and the Authority Trustees in adopting a financial plan for this program to go forward."
Among the electric and hybrid-electric vehicles now commercially available are the Honda Civic and Toyota Prius hybrid-electric passenger cars. Off-road utility work vehicles include the Taylor-Dunn Electruck and the John Deere-E-Gator; a combination riding lawn-mower, capable of snow removal.
In August 2002, NYPA hosted a "Ride and Drive" exhibition of electric vehicles for members of the Municipal Electric Utility Association attending an annual conference in Saratoga Springs. NYPA at that time loaned the MEUA leadership a Toyota Prius to demonstrate the capability of a vehicle with hybrid electric technology.
In April 2003, the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) and NYPA provided seminars and another "Ride and Drive" exhibition at an MEUA semi-annual meeting in Liverpool, near Syracuse.
NYPA is among the national leaders in promoting electric drive vehicles and is credited with placing more than 350 vehicles in service with customer fleets. NYPA electric transportation projects include electric station-cars for commuters, all electric school buses, small urban electric vehicles as well as electric delivery trucks. It is the nation's largest supplier of electricity for public transportation, supplying the power for commuter and subway trains in the New York metropolitan region.

Set in rural Manitowoc County mainly during 1994-1995, Mourning Hours tells the story of what happened after teenager Stacy Lemke disappeared in an early March snowstorm. Although in the end the mystery is solved, the story is more about how her disappearance affected the Hammarstrom family and the community. The tone of the book is tense as the strain on the family causes their lives together to come apart. Paula Treick DeBoard's details of life in rural Wisconsin ring true, and her characters are realistic and believable.

XGI Technology, a graphics chips designer, Monday announced intention to produce and market graphics cards based on its own visual processing units. The company aims to target its own add-in boards at various market segments in an attempt to boost market share.
"As we introduce the Volari graphics board series, we have taken into consideration a top-to-bottom graphics solution empowering solution providers and system builders to target their own niche markets," the company said in its statement.
XGI said it would offer graphics cards based on Volari V8, Volari V5, Volari V3XT, and Volari V3 graphics processors. In addition, XGI said, it would market solutions for mobile computers as well.
Announced in mid-September 2003, the XGI Volari graphics processors is the third family of actual chips to support DirectX 9.0 capabilities available in the market. XGI currently offers two graphics processors with identical feature-set, but different performance – the Volari V5 and the Volari V8. The fundamental difference between the former and the latter is the number of rendering pipelines – 4 and 8 for the V5 and V8 respectively. The XGI Volari V5 and V8 have equal number of Vertex Shader pipelines – 2 per chip. However, the Volari V8 also packs 4 Pixel Shader pipelines, while the V5 only boasts with 2 of them.
Both V5 and V8 GPUs are made using 0.13 micron fabrication process at UMC.
Previously XGI partnered with ABIT, Chaintech and Triplex, while Tul Corporation had decided to withdraw from manufacturing products based on XGI Volari graphics processors. Additionally, XGI had inked deals with Chinese manufacturers Hasee Science & Technology and Lian Guan (Crown Electronic Technology), according to some reports. The company did not reveal any reasons switch to cards business from chips business.
"We started to make XGI Volari-based graphics cards, but the demand was too low," said a representative of a graphics cards maker who wished to remain anonymous.
Some sources said that one of XGI's shareholders is Asian electronics equipment giant Foxconn, who recently entered channel business. The company produces mainboards, graphics cards as well as loads of other products and may become the largest maker of XGI-based graphics cards, if the information is correct.
In the past four years graphics chip designers gradually withdrew from the market of graphics cards leaving to dedicated makers. The trend to make graphics cards using the company's own manufacturing emerged in the late nineties when 3dfx and S3 Graphics set up their card-assembly product lines.

Weller, Michael
Weller, Michael 1942–
An American playwright now living in England, Weller writes of contemporary events with a brand of realism that is uncluttered and rhetorically fresh.
Clive Barnes
"Moonchildren" is a joyously funny (yes, funny-funny, as funny as the Marx Brothers) and yet unaffectedly profound play….
Mr. Weller's play traces, with a little more affection than remorse, the final year of a group of students about to embark on the mystery of graduation….
Vietnam and peace marches, love and grades, the entire aquarium-moment of student life is captured here. Mr. Weller's story—witty, absurd and touching—is not about any particular age group. He relates this period of transition to a special time—to his own special time—but it has a relevance to everyone who has grown up with strange people in a strange place.
Mr. Weller is punctilious in not having a story because he has settled on a theme. He gives us sketches of life on the turn, and it is not too fantastic to compare this with Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard." The structure is almost identical, and the mood may have more in common than we can at present suspect….
Mr. Weller's skill is two-fold. He writes dialogue that is both believable and yet surprising, which is no easy trick. He also relates a man to his setting. There are a hundred and one stories in this play, but what is important is that every single character rings totally true….
"Moonchildren" is the rare kind of play that you go to, and you laugh a lot. But, rarer still, the next day your laughter has an aftertaste of immortality. Lines, scenes and attitudes stick with you and you suddenly realize that that harmless pile of jokes, interspersed with a few shards of reality, has really meant something to you. (p. 51)
Clive Barnes, in The New York Times (© 1973 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), November 5, 1973.
Clive Barnes
"Fishing" is a perceptive picture of a generation or at least one aspect of it….
Mr. Weller's ear for dialogue is as convincing as ever, and his good-natured wit (his characters are rarely waspish; irony or violence is the nearest they get to nastiness) is always appealing. Despite a slow, rather poor beginning, and a joking, pseudo-melodramatic ending that doesn't quite come off, the play is neatly constructed. You get to know the people and they are interesting.
The author's theme is one of survival. "Keep on," a character says at one point, "stay alive." They often talk casually of death, but do not wish it. I am not sure what kind of development this marks from "Moonchildren"—lateral perhaps—but Mr. Weller's writing, if not his dramaturgy, is more secure than ever….
Mr. Weller does not seem to write gratefully for characters outside his central group—it was the same in "Moonchildren"—and the … monumentally stoned gravedigger and … the dying fisherman can never quite redeem for the author the basic shallowness of the characterizations.
After the first few moments of awkward angling, I thoroughly enjoyed "Fishing." It is certainly a revealing play. In 100 years time, if anyone is around, it will tell them something about us. Or some of us. (p. 41)
Clive Barnes, in The New York Times (© 1975 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), February 13, 1975.
Walter Kerr
In "Moonchildren," a college generation adrift in a void and at a loss for identity devoted all of its crackling verbal powers to erecting far-out and very funny façades in order to conceal an emptiness….
They were performing for others, creating alternate selves that lived only in the group imagination, making the hilarious most of lies that came within inches of persuading the unpersuadable. The device was called a "put-on" by this time, and was far more conscious than it had been….
But [in "Fishing"] the little jokes are littler now, the antic urge to con the world gone flat. Flatness is an unrewarding thing to dramatize … and Mr. Weller has taken refuge in spelling out too plainly the ache that was formerly, gaily, implied. The remnants of that captivating college crew now speak of themselves, baldly, as "a lost generation in search of roles in a century without meaning," announce that "Life is a freak show, right?" (This of course gives the whole show away; we used to deduce such things, beneath the cock-crows, to our delight.) When one of the friends is told he's moody, he snaps "You're not supposed to notice, and if you notice you're not supposed to say anything, and if you say anything it's supposed to be a joke." In "Fishing" they do notice, and they do say, and it's not a joke.
Walter Kerr, "Poor 'Fishing'," in The New York Times, Section II (© 1975 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), February 23, 1975, p. 1.
John Simon
One of the main troubles with Fishing was that Weller had done it better in Moonchildren, itself only a very promising play. In Fishing, much the same young people who had cavorted through their final year of college in Moonchildren were seen, a handful of years later, still romping through life. This time they were trying to find themselves in the Pacific Northwest, the last American frontier abutting the terra incognita of myth—of clear air, good earth, and hard, clean living….
Fishing is a play of texture. It captures accurately, I think, the sound and feel of whimsical, aimless, not yet uncontented lives, some of which will wander into usefulness, some into chronic dissatisfaction and dilettantism, and some, perhaps, into suicide. But except for this texture, the play gives us little else. It is as if a tailor showed us an expertly woven and ingeniously patterned piece of cloth, but teasingly refused to comply with our request to cut it into a suit. (p. 78)
John Simon, in New York Magazine (copyright © 1975 by the NYM Corporation; reprinted with the permission of New York Magazine), March 10, 1975.
Catharine Hughes
None of [the characters in Fishing] really communicate with each other. They are caustic, sardonic, defensive, in their exchanges, as to a large extent were the young people in Moonchildren, but they are—with advancing age?—less spirited, less interesting…. Although the play frequently displays Weller's facility for adroit dialogue, it also abounds in exchanges that are heavily portentous. A little of such things as 'being on the ocean with no one to hassle you' and 'I feel there is some very negative energy between us' clearly goes a long way.
Yet, Fishing is not really a bad play. It seldom, except in a protracted opening scene, actually bores…. It does, however, rely far too heavily on dramatic tricks and, in a fake melodramatic conclusion, something bordering on a copout. Weller is a better playwright than that…. [Even] at his less than best, Weller is invariably worth watching. (p. 35)

Japanese actor dons oversize prosthetic nose to portray Caucasian
Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) was forced to backtrack out of a controversy this week after the carrier's new television commercial, featuring a Japanese actor that donned a blond wig and large nose to portray a Caucasian, was deemed offensive by some viewers.
According to an ANA representative, the commercial featuring a character in "whiteface" was meant to encourage Japanese customers to embrace international travel, not to stereotype Westerners.
"Our intention was not to offend," said ANA spokesman Ryosei Nomura, according to the Associated Press. The carrier has since agreed to review several "opinions" before launching a revised advertisement.

A number of grants will be awarded to Journalists reporting on climate change and other drivers of change in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. Deadline for applications is 25 June 2013.
Journalists in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region are often in need of resources (space, time, and means) to support investigative stories on the impacts of climate change and other drivers of change. Under the Himalayan Climate Change Adaptation Programme (HICAP) , and specifically its communication and outreach component, the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research-Oslo (CICERO), GRID-Arendal, and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) will provide a limited number of grants to support professional journalists in reporting investigative stories on climate-related environmental issues, with special regard to adaptation measures.
HICAP, a major initiative under ICIMOD's Regional Programme on Adaptation to Change, is a five-year (2011–2016) applied and basic research programme. It focuses on five sub-basins of major Himalayan river systems: two sub-basins of the Brahmaputra and one each of the Indus, Ganges, and Salween-Mekong. The HICAP grant programme seeks to encourage journalists from the Hindu Kush Himalayan region to report on climate change across the five sub-basins: the upper Indus, Koshi, upper Brahmaputra, eastern Brahmaputra, and Salween-upper Mekong.

Could these white, raised bumps near my vagina be genital warts?
I recently noticed white, raised and pointy growths in my lower labia and anus area that hurt to touch. (I think my mom and sister had these when they were my age...are they hereditary?) They look like whiteheads. I checked online to see if my symptoms looked like an STD and genital warts are my best guess...but they're not gray or pinkish, and they're not cauliflower-shaped. My boyfriend doesn't have any symptoms at all, but we're a little worried. Do you know what these could be?

City to move funds to pay for demolition
ALPENA -The Alpena Municipal Council held a public hearing during its regular meeting Monday to get approval to use money from the brownfield local site remediation revolving fund. The city intends to take $69,050 to pay for the demolition and cleanup of the Beach Motel, which the city recently purchased.
The council voted 5-0 to approve moving the funds.
City Manager Greg Sundin said the fund consists of money collected from a TIF from Lafarge and Alpena Marc LLC. Currently there is more than $115,000 in the fund, which is designed for development by the city. Sundin said there is other work that needs to be done before the motel on State Avenue can be torn down.
"The next steps include an asbestos and lead survey, the removal of the asbestos by a certified contractor and the structure can be demolished and the site restored," Sundin said.
Sundin said the amount being taken from the fund should be less than what the project will actually cost. He said the estimates were intentionally made high, because if the city requested a lower amount and the cost was higher, another hearing and more logistics would need to be done again.
"If the cost were to exceed what we brought into the plan, then we would have to go back and amend it to access the rest of the funds," Sundin said. "If you have high estimates and the numbers come in low, then the funds aren't utilized and remain in the fund."
Sundin said the current owner of the motel has until Oct. 1 to vacate the building and work could begin within two weeks after it is vacant. He said he believes the project will be complete in late October or early November.
In other business:
the council voted to move forward in designing a smartphone app for the city. The app would provide information about the city, a calendar and other important information. There is no timetable in place for the app's completion.
the council voted to hire Dean Marine and Excavating to do the dredging project at the harbor. The city was awarded more than $800,000 to have the harbor dredged, but the quote from the contractor came in at $511,500. The balance of the money will remain with the state. City Engineer Rich Sullenger said the money left over could be disbursed next year to other communities that need harbor work.
the council voted to approve renewing its contract with Merit to continue providing Internet service. The deal is for five-years and will cost the city $1,380 a year. Alpena County is a partner with the city for the the service and will pay the same amount if it is approved by the board of commissioners.
the Intergovernmental Council will meet Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. at the APlex.

A grand hotel at Broad & High
The Columbus Dispatch - August 21, 2013 02:34 PM
The Deshler Hotel, at center, was a Broad & High landmark. Here it is, looking northwest from the Statehouse, prior to the construction of the adjacent LeVeque Tower. The absence of the LeVeque Tower pins the date of this scene as prior to 1927.
Recently, this blog featured "then and now" scenes of the northwest corner of Broad and Third streets in downtown Columbus. At the site of the Key Bank skyscraper was once a brick home -- the residence of the William Green Deshler family.
Here's another "then and now," this time of the Deshler Hotel, which stood up the street at the northwest corner of Broad and High streets. The plush hotel was built by William G. Deshler's son John G. Deshler, and was a central Ohio landmark for many decades, from 1916 to 1969.
When it opened 97 years ago this week -- on Aug. 24, 1916 -- it was one of the biggest social events in Columbus that year. More than 500 guests attended what society writers reported as "a brilliant affair." The 400-room hotel was a $1.5 million structure and was one of the premier hotels in the Midwest.
After the LeVeque Tower was built, it was linked to the Deshler and 600 new rooms in the tower were added to the 400 already in the 12-story hotel building. Formal dedication of the new hotel rooms was in 1927. In the 1960s, the hotel gave up the 600 rooms in the LeVeque Tower and the bridge linking the tower to the hotel was removed.
Over the years, there were many ownership changes. The hotel was known as the Deshler-Wallick, the Deshler Hilton, the Deshler Cole and the Beasley Deshler.
On the site of the Deshler today stands the One Columbus skyscraper.

No, unfortunately not tea... or just some scented teas that are sold under the marketing concept of "the french art of tea"
Just to say I'm a regular reader since months, member since a few weeks and that I thought it was time to introduce myself.
As others 'round here (Vacuithé, David R. and some more), french people do not spend their time drinking only coffee and wine in thoses little picturesques "cafés" in Paris.
No, no, no! We do drink tea and sometime good teas when we can grab some over here (feasible but not always easy) or elsewhere on this little planet, thanks to the web.
So, I've been drinking tea for almost 15 years. I got started with some Qimen from Mariage, which was definitely not the worse beginning with. I got hooked on wulongs quite quickly and I'm still deeply fond of yanchas, dan congs, and rather traditionnaly manufactured baozhongs. Some greens too along with sheng pu'ers (old and young).
As a lot of TCers, I've spent some energy (yeah, and some money too) on finding nice teaware but never got addicted (... OK, message from Mrs : " Don't trust him, he spends his time looking at the "Official/Different Yixing Show Off Topic!" as if it was Playboy (you can replace with any other magazine you wish, it works the same)").
Spending a month in China last year got me to open a new eye on "leaves & water" and I quite changed my way of having tea and sharing it around. Hope to get back there soon (and also in Taiwan and Japan).
Hangzhou, Yangshuo, Suzhou, Huang Shan, Beijing, all wonderful places and a lot of good tea moments shared with the chinese people.
Let's continue sharing thoughts on tea, seems like it's a good place down here! Happy to join
