PURCHASE LINE: School directors plan slight tax increase
PURCHASE LINE — The Purchase Line Board of Directors voted to approve a proposed budget for the 2014-15 school year Monday during a regular meeting at the high school.
Budget revenues are calculated at $17,593,644 and expenditures at $18,572,893. A fund balance of $979,249 will be used to balance the budget.
Indiana County residents will see a 0.78 mill increase — or $4.95 more a year — to 86.82 mills, while Clearfield County residents will see a 2.64 mill decrease. These rates are based on multi-county rebalancing. Real estate revenue collected is expected to be in the amount of $2,889,283. The budget will be available for public review. The board expects to vote on a final budget in June.
In other business, the board struck down a motion to open the head and assistant girls' basketball coaching positions for the 2014-15 school year in a 4-3 vote.
The motion to open the position can be traced back to April when some district parents requested that the slots be opened after expressing their dissatisfaction with current head coach Rebecca Hudak's coaching style and tactics. The motion to open the positions was tabled in May following a show of support for Hudak by district faculty and parents.
Hudak, who was in attendance during Monday's meeting, declined to comment.
The board approved a motion that will see Purchase Line join the Indiana County Technology Center. The cost to the district will be $1,021,234, which is to be paid over 20 years in installments of $51,062.
Once a member, the district will see its tuition rates drop to member pricing retroactively to the 2013-14 school year. According to Superintendent Joseph Bradley, this would reflect a current-year member payment of $173,366, including the installment payment, versus a nonmember payment of $223,223.
Membership in ICTC will also give Purchase Line a seat on the board of the Joint Operating Committee, according to Bradley, and Bradley himself will become an official voting member on the Superintendent's Advisory Council.
Purchase Line's participation in the ICTC is dependent on approval by a majority vote by the current participating ICTC school districts.
Both the band field and the football fields have been completed, according to maintenance director Carl Jones. Jones thanked Hillsdale Construction of Cherry Tree for its work.
"We'll continue monitoring the watering, fertilizing, et cetera," he said.
In other business, the board approved:
• The hiring of John Zahorchak as business manager at a salary of $75,000.
• Applying for the Community Eligibility Provision program, which could bring free meals to all students in the district.
"Right now, it looks like it's not going to be the right decision for us, but we at least have the ability to apply," Bradley said.
Free meals are dependent on the number of students in the district who are directly certified to receive free meals through assistance programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF).
"If we can get more families to be direct certified rather than paper applications, it makes sense," Bradley said.
In other business, the board approved:
• To accept the Rev. Chris Massey of Kinport Assembly of God as the baccalaureate speaker. The baccalaureate service will be held June 10. Graduation will be held June 11.
• To accept the resignation of Isaac Solak as lunch monitor, effective June 10, and athletic director, effective June 30. The position will be posted immediately, according to Bradley.
• To accept the retirement of Burton Beatty from the maintenance department, effective June 27.
• The resignations of Stephanie Jobe, business office secretary, and Belinda Lambie, pep club adviser.
• Hiring James Lowe as a five-hour custodian at $9.64 an hour.
• Hiring Andrew Sleppy as a mathematics teacher for the Summer School Remediation Program.
• Hiring Tiffany DeStefano, Susan Leib, Diane Fenton and Andrea Perkovich as teachers for the Leap Into Learning Summer School Program.
• Hiring Sharon Hoffman and Jill McKinney as nurses for the summer school programs.
• Changing the 10-month print ship/federal programs secretarial position to a 12-month secretarial position.
• Awarding athletic trainer services for 2014-15 to Indiana Total Therapy for $37,500.
• Awarding the following fuel contracts for 2014-15: diesel fuel from Petroleum Traders Corp. and gasoline from Indiana Fuel and Oil Co.
• Appointing Kotzan CPA and Associates as school district auditor for $12,200 through June 30, 2014, $12,500 through June 30, 2015, and $12,875 through June 30, 2016.
• Awarding technology services to Cjaws, Inc., at $145,000 for 2014-15, $148,987 for 2015-16 and $152,712 for 2016-17.
• Contracting the Citizens' Ambulance for $1,975 for 2014-15.
• Contracting Cummins Bridgeway for high school and elementary generator maintenance at $5,868.26 total for July 1 through June 30, 2019.

Client wants one person to serve wine, etc. I'm trying to put together a proposal but to be honest, my expertise is in cakes and I don't know a) how much food per person b) how much to charge and c) how to keep the food warm in transit if I can't reheat there. I have chafing dishes but that seems "institutional" and not elegant. She also wants to use my wine glasses and I am to provide clear plastic dishes.

Citrix C3 – Where are the partners?
Posted by James Staten on May 11, 2009
- 455 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Citrix put some significant new meat on the bones of its Citrix Cloud Center (C3) offering this week but left behind one crucial element. Who are the partners delivering this offering?
At its annual customer get together, Citrix Synergy 2009, the company fulfilled our prediction of the true value of its XenSource acquisition in 2007 – an enabling technology for Presentation Server (now XenApp) and its desktop virtualization efforts (now XenDesktop). By adding these capabilities to its C3 platform for Internet service providers (ISPs) it has significantly differentiated its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) play from VMware vCloud, 3Tera AppLogic, and the other platform efforts in the market today. Instead of an ISP getting a relatively generic IaaS platform, they now get a robust set of service offerings – IaaS, Windows application hosting (somewhat of a SaaS offering) and desktop as a service.
But the announcement left me a little concerned when it wasn't coupled with a list of brand name ISPs who have signed on to deliver this service to enterprise customers. Anyone out there? Perusal of Citrix' C3 web site and Citrix Service Provider partner pages offer no insights either (Ingram Micro? Softcat? ExpressData? Not exactly ISPs). The technology without the partners looks a little incomplete. Citrix has started a timeclock on the credibility of this effort that it will need to fulfill soon.
Further confusing was its announcement of C3 Lab. This offering that lets you test drive XenApp and XenDesktop in the cloud uses the standard Amazon Machine Images rather than XenServer. While both are based on the Xen open source hypervisor, they aren't compatible – you can't manage AMIs with Citrix Essentials and you can't deploy XenServer VMs into EC2. The company will need to address this point of integration quickly or it will hurt the C3 value proposition.
Citrix's C3 strategy has three thrusts. In addition to courting ISPs to deploy C3, it is also trying to convince other cloud providers to upgrade from the open source free Xen hypervisor to its commercial XenServer and to get enterprises to use XenServer in house. For the cloud community it offers a revenue sharing license model that may entice many of the midsized players to move up, but C3 is a far more compelling value proposition. For the enterprise, expect to see a C3 for internal clouds in the next year. Strong ties to XenApp and XenDesktop will fuel its appeal in much the same way. Let's hope the enterprise customer references are ready at launch, though.

Authorities say the PA-28 airplane left Chicago Friday night, bound for Clearwater. It crashed early Saturday onto a road just north of the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport.
The girls — Katherine Bronken and Keyana Linbo, both 15 — were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa with serious injuries. Officials say 53-year-old Jeffrey Bronken died at the scene.
The hospital has not provided an update on the girls' conditions. They are both from Round Lake, Ill.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it received a radio call from the plane indicating possible fuel problems.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

share its Google Wallet revenues with Verizon and AT&T. This would give the latter two carriers a monetary incentive to see Google Wallet succeed. But there is a hang-up with this plan. Verizon and AT&T along with T-Mobile are part of a competing mobile payment system called ISIS. And while ISIS has yet to launch, it already seems to be ahead of Google Wallet thanks to a number of partnerships that the start-up has entered into.
But Google didn't get to where it is now by not thinking ahead. The company has a back-up plan and if the carriers refuse to join the Google Wallet team, Google will forget about them and instead, put up payment terminals that would send payment information directly to Google's servers thus eliminating the need for the carriers. The only problem there is that these terminals would require more of an investment from Google. Hopefully for Google, the carriers will agree to the revenue sharing plan, although that is far from being a sure thing. After all, ISIS will soon be launching and as we said, it appears to already be where Google Wallet needs to go.

Toccoa Hosting Harvest Festival this Weekend
Toccoa will host its annual Harvest Festival this weekend.
The 37th annual Toccoa Harvest Festival takes place Saturday and Sunday in downtown Toccoa.
Organizers said that the festival will include more than 160 craft and food vendors this year.
As always, the emphasis is on homemade, handmade, home baked, or home grown items at the Harvest Festival and Toccoa Main Street Events Coordinator Sharon Crosby said there will be some unique items as always.
Crosby went on to say that there will also be a number of new things, including some demonstrations that should be interesting for those who attend.
"One of things that I think a lot of people will be interested in is (that) we will be having a glass blowing demonstration and that is a little bit new," said Crosby. "They are from Georgia Southwestern State University and they will be coming up and doing demonstrations throughout the weekend."
Not only does the Harvest Festival include lots of food and crafts to enjoy, but two stages will also be set up for entertainment throughout the festival.
Crosby said that people can look forward to a lot of great performances.
"We will have a couple of groups coming back that have been here," said Crosby. "The Chattahoochee Chain Gang will be here, as will the Georgia Highlanders. Then of course, our local dance studios will be performing and we are very excited about that. That always brings out a lot of family and friends to see those performances."
Also performing on Saturday are the Plainsmen, an American Indian cultural performance.
In addition to the vendors, downtown shops and restaurants will be open and there will be lots of activities available for the children.
Crosby said it should all be a lot of fun.
"There will be lots of things to do," said Crosby. "The weather is supposed to be beautiful on Saturday and Sunday. We encourage everybody to come out and have a good time."
Hours for the Toccoa Harvest Festival are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday in historic downtown Toccoa.
Meanwhile, Crosby also reminds people in town for the Harvest Festival to vote in the Scarecrow Contest.
She said the response to the contest has been great again this year and that voting has gone very well also.
"We had a great turnout, so we are excited to see who the winner is," said Crosby. "We encourage people to take an afternoon and ride around and see all of the very creative scarecrows we have."
Voting ends this weekend.
People can vote for their favorite scarecrow online at mainstreettoccoa.com or in-person at a number of locations including WNEG Radio during business hours, Toccoa City Hall, and the Stephens County Courthouse. People can also vote by scanning the QR located on each official orange Scarecrow Contest sign to access the online survey.

Cliftonville quick to set a high standard
Cliftonville began their defence of the WASP Solutions League Cup by making light work of Wakehurst in a strictly one-sided contest at Solitude. Two goals apiece from Davy McDaid and James Knowles in addition to single strikes for Joe Gormley and Martin Murray ensured the holders' safe passage to the third round.
Tommy Breslin made eight changes to the XI which had started the weekend's Premiership draw with Glenavon; veteran defender Ronan Scannell and strike duo Gormley and McDaid the triumvirate retaining their places.
Ryan Brown replaced Conor Devlin between the posts and Jaimie McGovern joined Eamonn Seydak and Tomas Cosgrove in returning to the backline.
Stephen Garrett, Jude Winchester, Knowles and Murray formed a new-look midfield as Breslin made use of the opportunity to rest some key personnel.
Opposite number Ian Gregg's aspirations of keeping things tight in the opening exchanges were blown out of the water inside a minute when, with goalkeeper Aodhan Tolan barely having assumed his position, the ball was in the back of the net thanks to a long-range strike from McDaid.
Knowles and Gormley each saw quickfire opportunities to double Cliftonville's advantage come and go and Tolan blocked a further Gormley effort.
Wakehurst didn't need any second invitation to enjoy their own forward expeditions, however, and Andrew Laughlin could count himself unfortunate to see a 20-yard attempt drift wide.
Winchester was next to shoot off-target for the hosts before Gormley was again denied by Tolan.
George Young went close to drawing the Magpies level with a chipped strike across the face of goal before the Reds saw no fewer than three opportunities go to waste in as many minutes.
The home lead was eventually extended on 42 minutes when McDaid and Gormley combined to send Knowles scampering through and the midfielder made no mistake in coolly slotting home.
Within a minute, Tolan's foul on Gormley earned a penalty which the striker stepped up to blast home and the one-way traffic continued after the interval with McDaid notching his second of the night after Murray had flicked a cross from Tomas Cosgrove in his direction.
The Reds introduced Jay Donnelly – younger brother of Swansea City's former Solitude starlet Rory – from the bench and his first contribution was an assertive run past Ryan Young and a delivery from which Murray couldn't fail to make it 5-0.
The sixth arrived on 73 minutes when Knowles' fierce strike found the bottom corner and the impressive Tolan caught the eye with saves from Curran and Winchester as well as a smart block to deny Knowles his hat-trick.
Wakehurst mustered one final opportunity in an attempt to secure a consolation strike but, from Conor Gregg's assist, Laughlin directed his right-footed effort wide.
CLIFTONVILLE: Brown, McGovern, Scannell, McDaid, Garrett, Knowles, Seydak, Winchester, Gormley, Murray, Cosgrove. Subs: Johnston, Curran (for McDaid, 61 mins), McMullan (for Garrett, 75 mins), Catney, J Donnelly (for Gormley, 61 mins).
WAKEHURST: Tolan, R Young, Price, Muir, Swann, Laughlin, Crawford, Melon, G Young, C Gregg, R Gregg. Subs: Cairns, Kirkwood (for G Young, 54 mins), Stevenson, Colville, Millar (for Melon, 77 mins).

The shares fell $1.98, or 33%, on the New York Stock Exchange. Meanwhile, the world's largest telco equipment maker Lucent reported a narrower loss of $331m (£236m), or 20 cents a share, in its fiscal second quarter, half the red ink spilled a year ago and in line what analysts had expected.
However, Lucent warned that the business environment remained tough and that it would have to do further restructuring to lower its break-even point and return to profitability by 2003. It is to shed an additional 5,000 employees, 10% of its workforce.Reuse content

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/7/2014 (1083 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Several Westman communities are under a severe thunderstorm watch, issued late Thursday morning.
Environment Canada says that severe thunderstorm conditions are possible late afternoon to late evening along the western stretch of Manitoba. The watches do not yet include Brandon, but the forecat does say that severe thunderstorms are possible here.
A watch is a note by meteorologists that pre-condiitions for severe weather formation. It is less serious than a warning, which indicates severe weather is imminent or already happening.
The current watch is due to a cold front approaching from Saskatchewan that is expected to trigger scattered thunderstorms later this afternoon. Some of these storms may be severe, and may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.
Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required, but people can also report severe weather by calling 1-800-239-0484, sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweeting reports to #MBStorm.

Glad I found another place to brag. :smt082 I finally bought my S & W - M & P 40 at the Denton Texas gun show at a great price, $409.95. I've been buzzing on this gun for months and finally found one at the right price. I've already ranted on this forum under The Smith & Wesson Thread.
Can't get to the range until next week though. :smt022 In the mean time I have cleaned the factory gook out of it & ordered my third free S & W range bag.:rolleyes:
Cool. The M&P seems to be a very nice gun. Congrats!
Well, as I mentioned in another discussion, I got a used Sig 239 this last week.
I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to do it.. I had found a used SIG SP2340. which is a great gun, and was trying to be satisfied with that. Even managed to keep my 'gun budget' square (traded in a shotgun I wasn't using for the 2340) , but I've wanted a 239 for quite some time - even harassed Shipwreck about where he'd seen one in a shop - but I stood firm and told myself 'NO'.
Then I saw a package offered on another forum; included a used 239, three sets of grips, a 357 SIG barrel and 7 factory magazines.
I told myself 'NO' some more, then found myself sending the fellow an email saying I'd take it. Egad.
I console myself. I'm giving up cigars (insert sympathetic noises here :smt022 ) and it's not too many boxes of good cigars and I've paid for the 239.
Luckily, I live on a ranch - when I want a cigar, I pick up a pistol and a box of ammo and punish the buckbrush. MUCH more satisfying. :mrgreen:
BTW, finally got a chance to shoot it - I'm as accurate with this little pistol as I am with my full-sized guns...as long as I remember to keep my eye on the front sight.
Well, I picked up my 4" S&W 686P today. Shot about 600-700 rounds through it. Deadly accurate and creamy smooth trigger. I shot double and single action with both .38 Specials and 357's. Accuracy was about the same either way. I don't have a lot of experience to base my opinion on, but this gun is way easier to shoot than my nephew's Security Six. The trigger guard on the Ruger kept nailing my index finger with .357's. My 686P never got my index finger even once and I was shooting Winchester's 125 gr and 158 gr .357's through it. Very smooth and accurate gun. Definitely a keeper.:cool:
Picked up a new XD9 Tac this week end--hope to get it to the range this week.
Pictures Ron and you other guys. I want to see all this neat hardware evrybody is getting. Don't for get range report.
I got myself a Sigp220C last week, I get to pick it up tomorrow!

Over the weekend, I posted about asking people not to post my child's picture on Facebook. Carolyn Hax had given some pretty weak advice to a set of expectant parents that amounted to "your kid's picture is going to end up online anyway, so this isn't a battle worth having."
And sure, if we go in with that attitude that people are inevitably going to plow over your boundaries when it comes to the online world, then your child's picture likely will end up on the Internet. But if we teach people to comport themselves with the same level of respect we give one another's boundaries in the face-to-face world, we have a fighting chance of teaching the next generation that they can have a say on where their picture is posted, or, at the very least, distance themselves from people who don't respect their boundaries.
I do think that — in general — people who have a firm understanding of trespassing in the face-to-face world forget about the concept of boundaries when they get to the online world. For instance, we all know to knock before entering a house, even if the person is expecting us and we know that their door is likely unlocked. It's polite; it shows a respect for the other person's space. And yet we don't show that same courtesy when it comes to Facebook. People post pictures of other people without asking. Without giving that little knock on the door in the form of asking the person after you snap their picture, "hey, do you mind if I post this on Facebook?" Just a common, polite question. One you only need to ask once to determine how that person feels about posting their image.

So then the issue came up about what to do with the group shot.
The candid party pictures that catch someone in the background.
The team picture at the end of baseball season.
What do you do when you want to post your child's picture on Facebook, but you have people in the image who definitely do not want to have their picture posted? Whose feelings win out?
It's a sticky situation. On one hand, it feels a bit akin to making a vegetarian meal: meat-eaters can consume a vegetarian meal, even if they don't enjoy it as much, whereas vegetarians cannot consume a meat-meal. Therefore, it makes sense -- if you want to be sensitive -- to make a vegetarian meal so all can eat, and some will enjoy themselves more than others. Meat eaters can always go home and have a huge hunk of steak.
In that analogy, those who want to post can always not post and still enjoy Facebook. They can email out the picture to friends and family, or they can look at it at home. But they can refrain from posting that picture while still posting other pictures that feature only people who are comfortable with their image online. Whereas those who do not want their image posted can't have their image posted and feel comfortable. Therefore, it would be more sensitive to not post the image, and to either come up with another way to enjoy the image or realize that not all images need to be posted. And then move along and post something else.
On the other hand, it makes sense to simply pull people who don't wish to be photographed from situations where they will be photographed. Withhold your child from the group baseball picture. Don't attend parties where pictures will be taken. Or attend school activities where parents inevitably take dozens of pictures. Or... this solution clearly doesn't really work. Cameras are everywhere, and people use them everywhere.
No one is saying "don't take the picture." They're just asking that once the picture is snapped, it isn't shared online unless the people in the image agree to the sharing.
It's easy to tell people to stop caring and just accept that our lives are going to go online, but I think that's really poor advice. People are allowed to have boundaries. They're allowed to express discomfort with certain situations and avoid those situations the best they can. People have a right to privacy, and other people should respect their desire for privacy. They don't need to agree or understand, they just need to respect it. Unless they don't mind if their own requests for privacy (or whatever matters to them) are dismissed.
So... what is a person to do when it comes to group shots? To the pictures you snap during the school play that contain other kids? To the family picture that you're itching to post but it contains your cousin who hates having their image online?

Hello to everyone finding our CARA web page. Although the team is not meeting to practice, a goal is now underway to reboot our programs in spring of 2017.
I have put together a GOfund me account to handle the fundraiser needed to make it happen. Click link to learn more:
This fundraising effort is called "The 55." If each person that sees this contributes $50 and gets five people to contribute $10 each, CARA will be on it's way to making rowing available to our community. Thanks for believing.
Coach Scott Nohejl
October 15, 2016
The Chatham Area Rowing Association is currently shut down. Due to a decision by the Department of Natural Resources, The Army Core, and Savannah Bend Marina, our team was not able to stay at it's home in Thunderbolt, GA.
Displaced and without a rowing dock, we were forced to close our doors as the team looks for a new home. There is a diligent search to find a new location and get Savannah rowing again. I am positive that a location will come soon. However, until then, I am sorry for the disapointment and news.
Coach Scott Nohejl

Letter from the Coach
Dear Community,
Thank you for finding The Chatham Area Rowing Association's web page. I hope it will help answer many of the questions anyone has when interested in learning to row. When I began CARA in 2007, it was in answer to SCAD's cutting of a beloved crew that I helped coach, shape, and be part of since 1989.
I could not imagine our lovely city, with all of our waterways and culture, without a rowing team available for our many college students. My decision to continue our SCAD CREW legacy soon expanded to include High School students and Adults all under one CARA name. I am very proud to say that in five short years we win medals, have a lot of fun, and best of all, have become a large family with members ages 11-71.
Rowing is such a beautiful and exciting way to get on the water. Our team offers something for anyone that wants to learn to row, get in shape, or take on the excitement of being on a team. Take a look at our program page. Complete information about each program, dates, and fees are set up in a way so that you can train the minimum couple days a week or more as your schedule allows.
Crew is a big part of my life and I hope you make it yours. I attribute my personal success to the discipline and knowledge I have been taught from being on a rowing team. If you have any questions after reading through our site, please feel free to contact me at email@example.com.
I look forward to meeting you and having you be a part of our CARA Titans.
With a morning sunrise,
Coach Scott Nohejl

Choice and Consequence
by Thomas C. Schelling

References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0674127714, Paperback)
Thomas Schelling is a political economist "conspicuous for wandering" an errant economist. In Choice and Consequence, he ventures into the area where rationality is ambiguous in order to look at the tricks people use to try to quit smoking or lose weight. He explores topics as awesome as nuclear terrorism, as sordid as blackmail, as ineffable as daydreaming, as intimidating as euthanasia. He examines ethical issues wrapped up in economics, unwrapping the economics to disclose ethical issues that are misplaced or misidentified.
With an ingenious, often startling approach Schelling brings new perspectives to problems ranging from drug abuse, abortion, and the value people put on their lives to organized crime, airplane hijacking, and automobile safety. One chapter is a clear and elegant exposition of game theory as a framework for analyzing social problems. Another plays with the hypothesis that our minds are not only our problem-solving equipment but also the organ in which much of our consumption takes place.
What binds together the different subjects is the author's belief in the possibility of simultaneously being humane and analytical, of dealing with both the momentous and the familiar. Choice and Consequence was written for the curious, the puzzled, the worried, and all those who appreciate intellectual adventure.

Salmon with Gingery Vegetables and Turmeric
Alternative-health experts like Dr. Andrew Weil are lauding the "anti-inflammatory" diet, claiming that vegetables like broccoli, spices like turmeric and oily fish like salmon can ward off disease. This dish by F&W's Marcia Kiesel should make Dr. Weil very happy.
Slideshow:More Healthy Fish Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 pound broccoli—cut into florets, stem peeled and sliced
- 1/2 pound cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for rubbing
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped Indian lime pickle (see Note)
- Four 6-ounce salmon fillets with skin
How to make this recipe
In a deep skillet, simmer the broccoli and cauliflower, covered, in 1/2 cup of the water for 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
In the skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the onion and ginger, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the turmeric and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, lime pickle and remaining water and bring to a simmer. Stir in the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cover and remove from the heat.
Preheat a grill pan. Rub the salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin side down, over moderately high heat until crisp, 4 minutes. Turn and grill until just cooked through, 2 minutes longer. Serve the salmon with the vegetables.

Q. Every year, my sister-in-law sends me something that she has obviously regifted. How should I reciprocate?
A. You shouldn't. Your brother and his wife may be having financial troubles that you don't know about, she might not realize that what she's doing is obvious, or maybe they're just taking a stand against our consumerist culture. So don't confront her or complain, since regifting doesn't really deserve the bad rap that it has. (Don't you own something that's nice and unused that you know someone else would love?) Accept the gift graciously, and try not to take it so seriously.
—Michelle Slatalla

Hey hey :)
It's been a while since my last blog post so I've decided to dedicate this one to this summer's Euro Triiip.
Well, most of you probably don't know, but me and my family went to a Euro trip this summer. And it was awesome. And I carried all of my art materials with me. A whole tiny backpack of them ! And hardly used them at all. Sadly. 'Cos we were constantly on the move and hardly had any time to stop and draw xD
Anyway, I did manage to do a couple of sketches whilst on the move.
First one was done in Croatia, where the car broke down...slightly xD So, we were stuck in this tiny village's garage for like 3 hours, waiting for our car to get fixed and stuff... and I got bored... as you do... had read enough about France from the "Eyewitness Travel Guide", so I looked around and guess what I saw! Johnny the terrier xD (not that I didn't see him as soon as we arrived, but was too grumpy and tired to pay any attention xD) (oh, oh, btw I say grumpy, but in fact me and the bro had so much fun on one of those car transporter...things, dunno what it's called. We were basically in our car, which was on the "thing" and it was awessommeeeeee. Every time we went through a bump me and my bro went "Weeeeey" and laughed. It was cool, alright!) Anyways.
Here's Johnny. He was such a funny dog, just walked around and poked stuff and people with his forehead, looking for attention and fun stuff to eat xD Kinda silly really, but that's what dogs are for, right? To make your day in a boring garage in Croatia.
So, I drew those, and then our mechanic saw my sketches and was like wooow, that's pretty cool, and took my sketchbook to show it to his boss, and even took a picture of the page xD It was funny, cos the sketches aren't that great, but hey xD It's always nice when people like your work, right xD P.S. Apparently Johnny is a winner (of sth) I didn't catch what the guy said exactly, but even so, Johnny is a celeb! Woop.
Second drawing is from Veniceee. Awww (tons of hearts) In Venice we stayed for 3 days, so naturally, the morning before we left, I decided to be all artsy smartsy and woke up early and went out. If you ever go to Venice, the best time for a nice drawing sesh is around 7:30-8:30 am, cos after 8:30 am tourists flood the place and it goes all mental and hot, especially during the summer. Also, if you ever go to Venice, make sure you stay at a place somewhere central! Me and the fam lived 3 mins away from Piazza San Marco !!! I'm telling you, it was so cool, I almost pissed myself! Ok, Ok, it was so cool, I almost cried... :( OK, I let a tear drop slip.. Jesus you guys.. you wanna know everything!
So, all in all, went out and did this sketch of Santa Maria della Salute. It's on the other side of the canal and it's very big and white. And it's got an awesome wooden ship right in front. Well, ok, slightly to the right from the main entrance. And, again, tourists we're incredibly nice (and curious) as well, looked over my shoulder nodding approvingly. One guy even came to me and said "This is soo awesome, dudee" with a strong accent. and tapped me on the shoulder xD
*insert massive ego boost even tho sketch is pretty basic*
And here's me and our dog ^^ (Fishing.)
Cos we're cool.
And deserve to have a picture uploaded on blogger.
I do have a couple of stories to tell about the Euro trip, like the tiny car accident me and my friends had on the way to the cinema. The Turkish people we hit weren't particularly happy, but we got to chat to Italian restaurant owners who spoke Bulgarian, whilst waiting for traffic police to come xD (missed first screening of "Brave" because of it, but made it just in time for the second one xD And it was WORTH IT!) and then discovered this really creepy house with even creepier fence in a tiny street in Sofia, right behind a church! T'was magical... it had plastic dolls and heads on the spiky ends of the fence and some white umbrellas. And all of those made up some sort of a name. I think it was supposed to be arty.. Jees some people...
But if you ever need some more info or fancy seeing pics and being told about certain European countries, come say hi :))) And spare a couple of hours xD I've found so many awesome places I can go to, should I visit any of those countries again. And oh my god, will I draw then! (yes, I will.)
Ta ta for now :)))

The Discussion
Awesome, glad to hear the PDC is going great. Like most people, I check back here almost every hour and wait for new content to be posted.
I think one thing on a lot of developer's minds who weren't able to attend is: when does the BETA program for Windows 7 launch and how do I sign up?
Keep up the awesome work, and btw, the timer... you can leave it at home if you want next time:)
Can we expect to be able to see Guthries keynote online at some point? I missed his part of the keynote
All sessions and keynotes will be on C9. Check back often on this tag: http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/Breakout+Session/ and click on the items with the View Seeion Video thumbnail. Keynotes will come later, but they will come.
Somebody quick, grab me one of the branded yet blank External hard drives.
Hey, nice fun video - love the final frame

|A Steele Curtain
Making save after save, junior goalkeeper Abby Steelehas kept a rebuilding Oregon women's soccer program neck-and-neck in all 18 matches this season and has raised her status as a premiere goalkeeper in the Pac-12. Judging from Steele's exploits, it would appear as if she was born and bred to play between the posts.
In reality, she more or less just happened upon the position.
As an eight-year-old, Steele's first soccer coach was her father, Richard. When it came time for the kids to pick positions, not a single player volunteered for goalkeeping duties. Rather than upset a parent that wants their daughter playing a field position like forward, Richard assigned Abby as the netminder.
A goalkeeper was born.
"Yeah, it's a funny story how I started playing goalkeeper," said the Santa Ramon, Calif., native. "I ended up trying a few other positions, but I came back to goalkeeper when it became obvious it was my best position."
Steele learned the ropes of goalkeeping on her father's team, and later played at forward. In the end, Steele settled for the position she was most comfortable with and showed the most promise – goalkeeping. 10 years later, her decision proved to be the right one.
"She's been huge this season," said first year head coach Kat Mertz, who was a four-year starting goalkeeper for North Carolina State from 1994-1997. "It's awesome to have a great goalkeeper like her in the back of the net. We rely on her almost too much. She's made some incredible saves this season and our opponents have thought, 'Oh jeez, how are we going to beat this keeper'?"
Steele decided to be a goalkeeper after relishing the inherent pressure that comes with the position… just a single mistake, and the ball is in the back of your net. No matter what the opposition brought forward, Steele wanted to face the pressure and turn them back empty-handed every time.
With that mindset, Steele became one of the most highly touted goalkeepers in California. She signed her letter of intent to UO before the 2011 season and wasted little time making an impact for the Ducks. Steele started in 38-of-40 matches as an underclassman, making 158 saves in her first two seasons.
After four straight losing seasons, Oregon cut ties with former coach Tara Erickson and hired Mertz from Saint Louis University. Mertz has extensive experience coaching elite goalkeepers, including coaching a pair of U-20 FIFA World Cup golden glove winners in the youth national team system. She knew of Steele prior to arriving in Eugene, and was excited to work with her.
Despite Steele's impressive credentials through two seasons, Mertz wanted to challenge Steele to set the bar even higher and become one of the most important players on the field – a general to the players in front of her rather than just a shot-saver.
"It was really important for us as a coaching staff to hold the standard very high for her," said Mertz. "We wanted to push her to be a leader of the team from the front rather than the back. The thing is, she has absolutely risen to the occasion and met our challenges."
With the Ducks continuing to develop an offensive identity, the team has often relied on Steele nearly to a fault to come up with big performances and keep them in games. She's answered the toll every time as the Ducks have only lost one game by more than a single goal – a hard-fought 2-0 loss to second-ranked UCLA.
Mertz has been involved with numerous elite collegiate goalkeepers, and has coached current starting keepers of five different Pac-12 programs during various youth national and Olympic development camps. Mertz said she has no question that Steele is the top goalkeeper in the conference.
Steele's season numbers in 2013 are all career-bests and she ranks near the top of the Pac-12 in all categories. She's made crucial saves – like a penalty kick save against No. 12 California or a diving save to stop an almost-impossible header against No. 6 BYU – and has led the Ducks to five shutouts.
"Look at the California game – she nearly single-handedly won us that game," said assistant coach Hideki Nakada, who works with Oregon's goalkeepers each practice. "That's the difference between the average goalkeeper and a great one."
While her saves have been inspiring, Steele has far more on her plate than just that. During matches, she's constantly doing things that don't show up in the box score; evaluating her back line's positioning and calling out instructions, coming off on crosses and stopping breakaways.
Put it all together, and Steele has undoubtedly been one of the team's most valuable players this season.
"At this level, the highest level you can play at in Division I, most goalkeepers can stop shots," said Nakada. "But the things that she does better or best are the things that don't always show up. She prevents a lot of chances before the other team even gets a look on goal. The presence she has makes a huge difference for us."
When looking towards the future, Steele is the centerpiece for high expectations next season as a potential four-year starter, like her head coach was. Steele isn't ready to look that far ahead though, as she focuses on one last goal for the 2013 season – shutting out Oregon State.
The season-ending Civil War battle is this Thursday at Lorenz Field in Corvallis. First touch is set for 1 p.m. (PT). In two meetings with the Beavers, Steele has played all 200 minutes, making 11 saves while allowing just a single goal.
If Steele's final showing of the year reflects the impressive season she's had, the Ducks will have a great shot at writing a happy ending for the 2013 season.

Multiple Notebook Execution
Suppose I have a directory full of Mathematica notebooks, each a student's answer to a classwork assignment. What I'd like to do is to load each notebook in turn, execute it in the front end, and print the result to a PDF for grading. Of course, for each assignment I want a fresh kernel, to ensure that one student's assignments of variables or definitions of functions do not come back to bite another student. Is it possible to do all of this from the front end, by cunning use of environments for example, or can it only be done by scripting outside Mathematica?

My daughter has a friend in her girl's group that is highly allergic to milk. I made the cute snowman chocolate covered ores yesterday for a party they had, and of course the girl could not have any. Her mother asked if we can try making the cookies using vegan chocolate chips.
Does anybody know if these can be molded? (I'm using the Spinning Leaf molds) Would the these chips need to be tempered like regular chocolate? Does it come in white? Can I color it using the food coloring for chocolate, or can regular food coloring be used? (does it seize up like regular chocolate?)
Thanks so much for your help. I really want to be able to make these for this girl; she is so sweet.

Renewable Energy
All things energy, from solar and wind power to efficiency and off-grid living.
30 Steps to Energy Efficiency - Step 1: Call Your Utility Company
The following energy-saving tip is brought to you by CleanEdison.
Tonight when you get home from work or school, call your utility company and ask what incentives they have for you to get an energy audit for your home. Many utilities have been offering free energy audits for years, but very few people have actually taken advantage.
In case you're unfamiliar, an energy audit is an assessment of your home by a certified energy rater in which they use diagnostic equipment to determine a list of recommendations for how you can improve the efficiency (and comfort) of your home.
If your utility offers free or discounted audits, make an appointment for after April, so you'll have done most of the easy stuff before he/she gets there.

Remove wax from produce
Dear Sara:
I try to keep the skins on my produce instead of peeling it, since the skin is good for you. But I would like to eat my produce, especially cucumbers and apples, without the shiny, waxy skin. So, how do you remove wax from produce? — Shoiji, forums
Dear Shoiji:
To remove wax from your produce, wash it and use a vegetable brush. You can buy fruit/vegetable wash or make your own by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of baking soda in a large bowl of water or a clean sink. Scrub with the veggie brush (a new nail brush or baby bottle brush will work if you can't find a vegetable brush) and rinse well. Here are a few homemade solutions submitted by a fellow reader:
Homemade fruit/vegetable wash:
I have six washes that I use, depending on what I already have at home. I use them to clean my kitchen counters or to pre-soak my dirty dishes, too.
1. Squeeze some dishwashing liquid into a spray bottle. Add water. Shake to combine. Spray fruit, use a vegetable brush to scrub and rinse produce well. You can soak produce in it, too.
2. Use a solution of vinegar and water to create a wash for produce to soak in. Rinse after letting soak for 10 minutes.
3. Use two spray bottles — one filled with vinegar and the other filled with hydrogen peroxide. Spray the produce with vinegar and then with hydrogen peroxide. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spray fruit or vegetables and rinse well.
5. Combine 1 tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 cup water in a spray bottle. Spritz produce and rinse.
6. Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon baking soda and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a spray bottle. Spray produce and rinse. — Annie G., California
Dear Sara:
Sticky cooking spray was sprayed into my oven. How can I remove it? — Carol, Florida
Dear Carol:
Oven cleaner will work to remove cooking spray from your oven. If you'd rather not use oven spray, you can use Bon Ami or Bar Keepers Friend. Or try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (wet) with baking soda and hot water.
Dear Sara:
Our home is about 50 years old, and the doorknobs and hinges are brass. I can polish them with brass cleaner, but they soon tarnish. Is there anything I can use to prevent tarnishing? — Dorris, email
Dear Dorris:
You can coat them with clear lacquer or acrylic urethane after you've polished them. Your local home improvement store will have what you need.
Dear Sara:
When we had new carpet put in, we didn't want the area in front of the wood stove to become more soiled or worn, so I bought a matching mat to place there. The mathad a tendency to migrate, though, so someone had the bright idea to put double-sided duct tape on the underside of the mat to keep it in place. It started to migrate anyway, leaving sticky residue in its wake. I have tried spot carpet cleaner on the area and it took up a lot of the dirt, but the sticky residue is still there, so it will just gather dirt again. Any ideas? — Elizabeth, North Carolina
Dear Elizabeth:
I'd try Afta Cleaning Fluid, Goof Off (goofoffstainremover.com/) or K2R Spot Lifter (superkleendirect.com). Test an inconspicuous area first.
Dear Sara:
How do you freeze green bell peppers? — Melissa, New York
Dear Melissa:
You don't need to blanch them. Cut them open, remove the seeds and chop. Place the chopped peppers on a cookie sheet and flash-freeze them, then transfer from the cookie sheet into freezer storage bags. Use within eight months.

Not too shabby.
I recommend wheels. I never did like the OEM BMW wheels. Lack a little style.
How does the weight feel? Going from a much lighter ride to that must have a slight learning curve. I went from a 4k lb car to the WRX and I am STILL getting used to it.

text: 60 Lovely Wedding Wishes Quotes For YouMarch 11, 2014 Pages: 1 2 3shares Facebook Twitter Pinterest TumblrWhen you are going to be at a wedding, Wedding Wishes Quotes can help you If you find that you lack the words to express the way you feel. In that is the case (which often is) then read on to see what you can say that will make them appreciate what you feel for them on their special day. A word of caution here – do not blindly use a quote that is given, do take the time to figure out whether it fits in with what you know about the bride and groom. Depending on this you can go with the warm and real approach or you can go in for the humorous approach. The thing to remember is that the day of the wedding is for the groom and bride and they need to remain as the center of attention. You need to choose your words with care so that you do not hurt anybody or make them feel uncomfortable. Unless you are really close to the couple and know that you can get away with making a joke, please do not pick the funny approach. You are better off expressing warm, touching and sincere sentiments that will make them feel good about themselves and their union. Your sentiments could be about how good they look together and how well they suit each other. Or you could narrate a simple saying accompanied by a small anecdote about how they got together. If you are older than the couple getting married then you could express a few words of advice along with abundant blessings for their future. Your wedding saying could be about how couples are decided upon in heaven and how they are united on earth. Many couples like to be told that their relationship and the story of how they got together has been inspiring; you could use a quote along those lines.Wedding Wishes QuotesMay your marriage be as eternal as the grains of sand on the beach – endless and eternalHappy anniversary… it is good to be part of the celebration of this union of mind, soul and bodyMay you be blessed with more smiles than tears and more love than strife and may you always be happy in lifeA wedding is for one day but marriages are forever as I hope yours will beA perfect couple is just a myth, but a perfect marriage is not and you have proved itYour love has stood the test of time and I hope your lives continue to resonate and rhymeYour love for each other reminds of moonlight – calm, serene and soothingBest wishes for this lovely day when too souls unite and make it all happy and rightHere's wishing you a life of peace and one that is full of easeTogether you stand as one and I hope you never find yourselves sad or aloneMy wishes are warm and heartfelt and as pure as the love you have held and cherishedWarmed am I by the love I see and I hope this love and warmth is part of your life for today, tomorrow and for all eternityJoy, love, compassion and passion.. these are all things I wish you with all my heartYour love has made it so far and I hope the journey of your life takes you together afarIf your love were to be put to measure it should be in terms of joys and pleasureRemember this; a marriage is more than a wedding and this means love, understanding and patient bondingMy wishes are from the bottom of my heart where there is nothing but good wishes and plenty of warmthI hope your marriage is as good as your wedding bouquet – put together and held with love and reverenceCongratulations!

text: Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked. Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

Opting for the real renewal
I have no words to thank party councillors who, last week, overwhelmingly placed their trust in me as the new deputy leader of the Nationalist Party. What happened last Friday was a life-changing experience that I will treasure all my life.
I am well aware that this job does not come with a honeymoon period, so I have applied myself from day one.
Following a weekend of intense political activities and a flurry of media interviews, on Monday I visited party officials at the headquarters and staff at our news organisation.
The day ended with meetings of the party's administrative and executive committees, in which I participated for the first time in my new capacity, alongside party leader Lawrence Gonzi.
It was a strange feeling that takes some getting used to.
Long written off by pollsters as a party that is heading for electoral defeat, PN supporters are now starting to believe, once again, that victory at the polls is indeed possible, after all. That is a good start.
But make no mistake, this will be a formidable challenge, certainly not any easier than the epic EU referendum that we fought this time 10 years ago.
Labour leader Joseph Muscat, himself a veteran of the anti-EU brigade, has now managed to reinvent himself as the harbinger of change.
In reality, he has no plans and no track record to rely on, except his 10-year struggle to keep us out of Europe.
As Barack Obama would put it, he wants your vote but he does not know what to do with it.
But he still enjoys an almost unassailable 12 percentage lead over us in the polls. He has promised the earth and sold the chimera of change for the sake of change. No matter the price, no matter the cost.
Yet I can sense that last week's election has repositioned our party in the electoral game for, suddenly, it is the PN that truly embodies a wholesome change.
There are two types of changes that must be considered.
Firstly, there is the change that is brought about in the country by the party in government. The second is the change that is undertaken within political parties themselves as part of their internal renewal process.
Let me explain why the PN can now win on both counts. To start with, there is no question that the major changes brought about in our country have been achieved by PN administrations.
Think of the most important changes that our country has gone through and you will find the PN right behind each and every one of them: from independence, right down to EU membership and the adoption of the euro.
Not only that, but in most occasions, far from embracing change, Labour was struggling vehemently to resist it.
Even on the more mundane issues that affect people's day-to-day lives, changes have been constant and real and always for the better.
New and better-paid jobs are the order of the day, new schools and educational services are the country's pride and high quality health services give us our peace of mind.
And, yes, in some areas, changes have not been flawless and have hit problems. But they were still changes for the better.
Now compare that with what is on offer by the Labour Party – one big, fat question mark – and you will get the picture of why change for the better is best guaranteed by a PN government.
Secondly, there is change within the party. Last Friday's election renewed the PN right at its very leadership and complemented Gonzi's tried-and-tested experience and achievements with my debut on to the national political stage.
The fact that this renewal has taken place before, rather than after, the election makes it even more significant. For it means the party has managed to seize an opportunity that was presented to it unexpectedly.
Moreover, it opted to change without waiting to be changed by the electorate.
And this renewal certainly does not stop with me.
The PN is fielding an army of new candidates, of very high calibre, who are bringing a new dose of energy, talent and ideas to the fore.
All the while, a number of Nationalist MPs will not be standing for re-election meaning that, after the election, as much as a third of the PN parliamentary group, if not more, could well be composed of new members.
So in one fell swoop, the deputy leadership election put the PN in a new position.
For it can now rightfully claim that not only is it the agent of change in the country but that it is also a party that is capable of renewing itself and embrace internal change.
I have no doubt that this renewal will not be lost on discerning voters, especially on those who were increasingly toying with the idea of staying home on polling day or even of switching to Labour.
They now have the option to reconsider. They can safely stick to the party that represents the change that they really want.
Simon Busuttil is Nationalist Party deputy leader.
