Here is a topic guaranteed to be controversial and lively ... who is the greatest guitarist of the past 100 years? The system here only allows me to post 19 names - I could have posted 200 greats, easily. So, fill out the poll, and then tell us why you voted the way you voted, or tell us who we've omitted.
Have fun, and post as often as you like. But, unlike the city of Chicago, this poll only allows one vote per person!

While the Wallabies sweat on the fitness of no less than five back-line players, the Lions will welcome back powerful midfielder Manu Tuilagi for Tuesday's fixture against the Rebels in Melbourne.
The Samoan-born England centre will start alongside Brad Barritt against a Rebels side boasting new recruit Luke Burgess but missing Wallabies Scott Higginbotham, Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor and Nick Phipps.
Tuilagi has recovered from a shoulder injury sustained against the Reds two weeks ago and will play in a back line led by Owen Farrell at five-eighth and Rob Kearney at fullback.
English second-rower Geoff Parling will captain the squad against the Rebels, who will be lead by Welsh No.8 Gareth Delve.
Lions winger Tommy Bowe was not named in the side and is being given every chance to recover from a hand injury in time to play in the second Test this weekend.
Lions coach Warren Gatland said they were pleased to have momentum on their side going into the Rebels match after losing to the Brumbies in the lead-up to their 23-21 win in the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday.
''Tuesday night is another opportunity for players to go out there and impress because we won't sit down and think about selection for the Test side until after the match,'' he said. ''We were disappointed with the Brumbies result but it was a gentle reminder, a wake-up call about making sure there were certain things we needed to concentrate on in the Test match.''
The Lions named a fierce forward pack boasting Toby Faletau, Sean O'Brien and Dan Lydiate in the back row, with Ryan Grant, Richard Hibbard and Dan Cole in the front row and Parling and Richie Gray in partnership in the second row. Back-rower Justin Tipuric was named in the reserves along with Ireland prop Tom Court, who was called into the squad as injury cover for Alex Corbisiero on Sunday night. Corbisiero injured his calf in the first Test and will be assessed throughout the week. Second rower Paul O'Connell also picked up an injury, to his arm, in the Test match. He will be monitored as the week draws on.
British and Irish Lions: Rob Kearney, Sean Maitland, Manu Tuilagi, Brad Barritt, Simon Zebo, Owen Farrell, Conor Murray, Toby Faletau, Sean O'Brien, Dan Lydiate, Geoff Parling, Richie Gray, Dan Cole, Richard Hibbard, Ryan Grant. Res: Rory Best, Mako Vunipola, Matt Stevens, Ian Evans, Justin Tipuric, Ben Youngs, Billy Twelvetrees, Stuart Hogg.

By Mike Hotz, Senior Strategic Consultant, Responsys
A regularly published B2B email newsletter is a staple of most B2B digital marketing strategies. They are a cost-effective, if inefficient, way to nurture prospects and help maintain a relationship over a client's lifetime.
Unlike a typical B2C email message with its strong, conversion-driven focus, the B2B newsletter usually serves multiple purposes, including:
- Attract prospective leads.
- Nudge prospects already in the pipeline closer to a sale.
- Connect with customers and reinforce their decision to buy from you.
- Establish or reinforce the company's authority as a thought leader.
This can be unfortunate for recipients because catering content for multiple audiences often forces readers to scroll through your content to find the value meant for them.
Make your newsletter more effective by thinking like a B2C marketer instead, to sharpen your focus and create a more reader-centric newsletter.
I talked about this strategy in an earlier column, "3 B2C Marketing Tactics to Improve Your B2B Newsletter" Here, I'll share some B2C tactics that can help you build a more focused and readable B2B newsletter.
- Don't put everything you know into each newsletter
This leads to "kitchen sink syndrome," where you toss in "everything but..." to cover all of your audiences. You might turn off readers who don't have the time or inclination to scroll through all of your prose.
Be selective in your newsletter content. I recommend using dynamic content to change at least one article in each issue to best target a specific audience.
If you must appeal to multiple audiences - prospects and customers, for example - select a primary article that would appeal to both, such as a case study showing how you saved money or increased business for a client or a trend story with information readers can use in their own businesses.
Secondary articles can appeal to particular segments, but your showpiece copy should have the broadest appeal.
- Provide a synopsis of each article in the newsletter and link to the full version on your website. This will boost traffic and lengthen engagement time with the content.
- Offer "share this content" opportunities in the email or on the landing page.
- Balance editorial copy with related curated product selections to enable conversion opportunities on both the landing pages and email.
- Target product merchandising by leveraging behavioral data.
Repurpose and highlight quality content that you have previously used in blogs, traditional newsletters, social media, and other sources to help keep this content approach scalable.
How-to tips, news stories regarding hot topics, and expert advice are some of the most effective types of content for this purpose.
- Move readers to your website
Be brutal about how much copy appears in your newsletter. Email readers have shorter attention spans and stricter standards for deciding what to open. Requiring a click also allows you to determine which articles engaged your readers and which ones flopped.
A 1,000-word article is too long for a multi-purpose newsletter. The typical reader spends three to five seconds with your email. If you can't tell your entire story in 250 words or less, put the salient facts in an introduction and link to the main story on a landing page on your website.
- Create a unique landing page for each article link
Too many newsletters drop readers onto the website's home page. That's the worst place to send them. They are more likely to get lost and click away than to hunt down the right article.
Set up informative landing pages that also link to related areas of your website, such as other case studies, press releases, etc. These can send the reader deeper into your site.
These links give readers something else to do besides read your content or click the "unsubscribe" button.
- Design your newsletter for scanning or mobile reading
Redesigning your newsletter in a simpler, more streamlined format will benefit readers on every platform.
These features enhance scanning and mobile reading:
- Vertical format
- Clear preheader with a call to action
- White space to separate articles
- Shorter line lengths
- Smaller images
- Shorter paragraphs
- Fewer items in each newsletter
- Bulleted lists
Test your email template frequently on various mobile platforms - iPhone/iPod Touch, Android phone, or tablets - to stay on the right track.
Although B2B newsletters typically aren't as image-heavy as B2C messages, optimize your design for reading with images off, because at least a third of your readers don't enable images in HTML by default.
Finally, consider "fat finger syndrome" when planning links or navigation to avoid misdirected clicking on mobile devices. As an example, Apple's ideal "tap target" for the iPhone is 44 pixels high by 44 wide (about a quarter-inch each way).
- Rethink your frequency
Does a monthly newsletter give you enough contact with your subscribers? Or, could you break one big newsletter into two or more issues?
Sending two shorter, distinctively different newsletters might give you more immediacy with subscribers and allow you to specialize each issue.
The subscribers have the last say on this topic as relevancy dictates frequency. Compare open, click, and complaint rates to see whether subscribers react or even notice the change.
- Use behavioral data to inform editorial decisions
Your email tracking and web analytics tools tell you which content categories your readers are clicking and/or browsing in your email and on your website. Use this data to guide your story choices for the newsletter as well as your inline navigation.
It can also drive dynamic content modules or help you create different versions of your newsletter, targeted to different audiences, customer segments, etc.
The Last Word
Your company newsletter is likely the first place you contact potential customers. It must convey your authority, expertise, and company personality in a relatively small space. The right design coupled with the right content can be far more informative than a content-heavy "kitchen sink" approach.

This NCAR strategic plan outlines seven institutional imperatives that describe our fundamental ongoing responsibilities as a national center. Each imperative is followed by a prioritized set of supporting actions that NCAR will undertake. Our plan also lays out a set of frontiers-areas where NCAR intends to build out from and across existing programs and research activities-listed in order of priority. Together, the imperatives and frontiers explain our highest-priority ongoing efforts and our aspirations for program development and enhancement. This is a five-year plan, but it often focuses on the next two to three years and also includes some activities that extend beyond the five-year horizon.
This plan is not a comprehensive overview of the many valued activities conducted within NCAR and in partnership with our community. Rather, it is intended as a concise, high-level explanation of institutional direction and priorities for growth. More detailed descriptions of the full sweep of NCAR activities can be found in the NCAR Annual Report and the plans of NCAR's laboratories, divisions, and institutes.
Many stakeholders, including members of the university science community and program officers of the U.S. National Science Foundation and other federal agencies, contributed to this document's development. Wide involvement in NCAR planning is essential because NCAR's work is collaborative; the activities described herein will be carried out in conjunction with numerous partners in the broader university and scientific community.
To understand the behavior of the atmosphere and related physical, biological, and social systems
To support, enhance. and extend the capabilities of the university community and the broader scientific community, nationally and internationally
To foster the transfer of knowledge and technology for the betterment of life on Earth
NCAR is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) devoted to research, service, and education in the atmospheric and related sciences. We conduct scientific research, operate observational and computational facilities for the science community, develop and transfer technology and information products to interested users, and provide opportunities for educational and professional development to post-secondary students and early career scientists. Our primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation (NSF), with important additional support provided by other U.S. government agencies. As an FFRDC, NCAR has a strategic partnership with NSF, and we fully embrace NSF's mission and overarching goals: helping the United States to uphold a position of world leadership in science and technology, promoting the transfer of new knowledge to society, and contributing to excellence in science and technology education.
NCAR is a crossroads for scientific interaction and collaboration. We work closely with universities, environmental research and assessment programs, government laboratories, and other international and national research institutions to define grand challenge problems in the atmospheric, solar, and related sciences; and we collaborate with these partners to organize and support communities of leading experts in sustained, long-term projects that address such problems. We maintain strong ties to innovative researchers and other centers of excellence, nationally and internationally, and include our partners in decision making and direction setting for our institution. Successful implementation of this plan depends on close and ongoing engagement with a wide variety of scientific partners.
NCAR is also a venue for the interaction of science and society. Our partnerships and interactions with decision makers in business and industry; nongovernmental organizations; and local, national, and international governmental bodies and agencies are steadily increasing. We consider policy questions and societal issues as we develop research plans. We investigate decision making processes and develop decision-support mechanisms to help ensure efficient and effective applications of science to societal needs. We embrace both research and operational goals in model development. We reach out to diverse groups interested in the atmospheric and Earth system sciences, conduct our work in an open and transparent manner, and proactively inform the public about our programs and results. We see active engagement with stakeholders who can use and benefit from our work as a fundamental responsibility.
NCAR has a special relationship with the university community, which manages NCAR through the nonprofit University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) on behalf of NSF. The UCAR Board of Trustees and UCAR President's Advisory Committee on University Relations, elected by representatives of UCAR member universities, provide fiduciary, legal, and program oversight for NCAR and all other UCAR programs. University representatives are part of the NCAR Advisory Council and the advisory panels for all NCAR laboratories, divisions, and institutes. Collaborations among NCAR staff and university colleagues are integral to our institutional success; the strength, variety, and frequency of our university interactions provide metrics of our programmatic health.

'Rise of the Guardians' Producer Guillermo del Toro on Making an Animated 'Avengers'
No, this isn't The Avengers for eight year olds. According to executive producer Guillermo Del Toro, Team Guardian got there first.
"When we started the movie, Avengers was not even a blip on the radar," he told Celebuzz. "These movies take years to do."
For Del Toro, this is his third time working in animation, the first being Kung Fu Panda 2 followed by Puss in Boots. He's currently producing a digital remake of the classic Pinocchio and has Kung Fu Panda 3 waiting in the wings.
In the new movie, Jack Frost, voiced by Chris Pine, teams up with Santa (Alec Baldwin), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher) and a non-verbal Sand Man. Their foe is Pitch (Jude Law), an evil force on a mission to snuff out children's sense of wonder. As children stop believing, the life force of the guardians is drained away.
"The way Peter [Ramsey] saw it was like a superhero team coming together," said Del Toro. "But he didn't want to take the characters and give them super powers or anything like that. He wanted opposite personalities, grander than life, personalities clashing and coming together as the story goes along."
"The character that we took the most time designing was Bunny," he said about the muscle-clad rabbit with a thick Australian accent. "He went through three or four incarnations than the one you see. We went with a bunny that has sort of baggy pants and a little vest and he was a little prissy. And there was another one where he was wearing leather and physically was very different, he was much more close to a real bunny."
What the team finally decided on was to dispense with his clothing altogether and shape its fur coat as clothing, with markings like tattoos.
"You can go and insinuate darkness and show darkness but ultimately it needs to stay on the tracks," he concluded, warning, "any kind of helicopter parenting that tries to prevent moments like that is only creating an illusion for the way the world exists."
Rise of the Guardians opens in theaters nationwide November 21. Watch the film's theatrical trailer below.

Center for Victims of Torture to Provide Healing Services to Refugees in Kenya
Center for Victims of Torture to Provide Healing Services to Refugees in Kenya
St. Paul, MN – The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) today announced it will provide mental health services at refugee camps in Dadaab, Kenya to Somali and other refugees who suffered torture and war trauma. The project also will train Somali and other refugee mental health workers to care for torture and war trauma survivors over the long term.
The camps in Dadaab now have more than 300,000 refugees with facilities built to accommodate 90,000. Most of the refugees are from Somalia. The balance of refugees is from Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and other countries.
The levels of trauma and torture reported among the refugees in the camps at Dadaab are severe. Many refugees have experienced targeted violence as well as random atrocities of war. Particularly disturbing is the high levels of rape and sexual violence reported by refugees throughout their experience, including as acts of war in their home communities, while fleeing to Kenya, and continuing in the Dadaab refugee camps.
"There is an enormous number of survivors of torture and war trauma in the Dadaab refugee camps who are in critical need of mental health services," said Neal Porter, CVT's Director of International Services. "Most are from Somalia, a country wracked by 20 years of civil conflict, and have experienced horrific violence. This project provides much-needed mental health services to refugees. We will also build capacity within the refugee community for their long term needs by training refugees as Psychosocial Counselors (PSCs)."
The effects of torture can lead to multiple disabling conditions that interfere with even the most basic functions of daily life. Symptoms can include chronic pain in the muscles and joints, headaches, incessant nightmares and other sleep disorders, stomach pain and nausea, severe depression and anxiety, guilt, self-hatred, the inability to concentrate, thoughts of suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder. Torture and war trauma survivors can become immobilized by their feelings and symptoms, unable to function within their communities or contribute to their family's well-being.
To address the overwhelming mental health challenges, CVT will:
- Provide direct mental health services in the first year of operation to at least 300 individuals who are highly traumatized as a result of torture and war trauma;
- Hire, train and supervise Somali and other refugee PSCs to provide direct mental health services to survivors;
- Train staff of national and international nongovernmental organizations and other agencies to provide appropriate care for survivors.
In addition to individual counseling, CVT will conduct home visits to support an estimated 1,500 family members.
Funding for CVT's work in Kenya is from the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. CVT is registered as an international nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Kenya under the name the Centre for Torture Victims.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition (thing)
Return to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition (thing)
A yearly [publication] that contains some of the most [beautiful women] dressed in their swimsuits. Each edition is normally taken in an exotic location, and the articles in the magazine are normally related to this place. The 1st edition came out on [January 30th, 1964] with the seemingly innocent title of "[A Skin Diver's Guide to the Caribbean]" This now collector's item had [Bebette March] in her 2 piece white [swimsuit]. This [issue] originally only cost 25 cents, compared to the few dollars today.
Throughout the rest of the 60's as the publication grew in popularity, it continued to use lesser known models. The 70's introduce [Cheryl Tiegs], who in with 14 years with the Magazine was featured on the cover 3 times. In 1976 the 1st multiple-model cover was featured with the 2 twins: [Yvotte and Yvonne Slyvander] posing together. The 80's brought the word supermodel to the table and with it [Sports Illustrated](SI), managed to get such main stream names as [Elle Macpherson] and [Christie Brinkley] to make multiple appearances. The 90's marked 2 notable moments, the 1st being in 1994 which marked the 1st 3-person cover, and in 1996 when [Tyra Banks] was the 1st black cover model for SI. The new millennium brought in a new Latin flavour to the publication along with its 1st topless cover in 2000. In addition in the year 2000 brought a 3D effect to a few photos of that issue.

How Much Time Between Photofacial, Chemical Peel and Microderm Treatments For Asian Skin?
Doctor Answers 1
Time between procedures
Photofacials and microderms can be done the same day or a few days apart, with about 3-4 weeks in between Photofacials. Adding chemical peels into the mix depends largely on the type of peel and the depth of it's penetration. Some chemical peels do not react well with IPL lasers and can make you photo sensitive. For the best answer on this, consult your providing office and have them help you with the timing, as they will know exactly what topicals they are using and how they should interact together.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.


text: Sick Cylinder - Unregistered June 22, 2012 2:21 PM I suppose this provides publicity for the team, but the bike is not a good one so even a great effort from the rider may not be visible. However it does make me think that a team could operate a guest bike which gives a chance to a different local wild card rider at each round. Preferably a better bike than this one. Finance could come from the organisers and it could provide good publicity and an opportunity for a rider to showcase their talents - this system is sometimes used in car racing although not at world championship level to my knowledge. 2 agree 0 disagree

PRONUNCIATION: pee-noh-SAHV-kah TRANSLATION: From Pinosava SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from Dennis Boxell who learned it in the village of Pinosava in Serbia and decided to call it "Pinosavka" (the dance from Pinosava). According to Dennis, he "showed, at one time, a 'high energy' version of the dance performed by a group of young men, in the village of Pinosava, at a večerinka (evening party) one Saturday evening during the winter of 1964." During one variation, "they jumped into a deep knee bend on measure 8, count one, with great relish. This 'high energy' version was made popular in the folk dance world by my long-time friend in folklore, Yves Moreau, who enjoyed the dance immensely." Dennis taught it at the 1967 California Kolo Festival. BACKGROUND: Pinosavka is a slow version of the U Šest family of dances common to the villages in the area just to the south of Belgrade (Beograd) known as Beogradska Posavina (The Sava River Valley near Belgrade). It is really a type of Šumadijsko kolo or Krnjevačko kolo, the main dance of the region. There are several variants of the dance known. MUSIC: Festival Records (45rpm) F-4018
Mediterranean Records (45rpm) 4003

Summer time and the Queen is having her annual Garden Parties
So excited! Victoria Pendleton, Olympic cyclist extraordinaire and recently on 'Strictly' just bought not one, but two chesca hats for tea in the Gardens of Buckingham Palace. Our hatinators, for that is what they are, are a more substantial version of last year's fascinator--we are told the Queen does not favour the little bows on slide or Alice band for wearing at Ascot, but these items have more in common with hats, as our front page bears out.
Chesca was borne out of a desire for curvy girls to have beautiful clothes, with style, rather than gruesome cover-ups, but now we are proud that our slimmer sisters can buy hats, shoes, scarves--and indeed, our signature lace dresses in a size 10! While remaining true to our origins, I still try on every item to ensure a flattering fit, but also true to my promise, read every email --and I have learnt that all women may need that special outfit, regardless of size --or in fact, age. Our aim is to add a note of summer -and fun-all the year round. Life needs a little frivolity, a little lift and whether you spend £30 on a scarf, or £300 on an outfit to meet the Queen, we aim to offer you great service and enviable outfits. Why, only yesterday, I went out, and an ultra-slim friend of mine admired my cardi-unfortunately not yet photographed, but available in chesca shops, and ordered a pair of my summer wedge shoes (and would you believe, my feet are smaller than hers)
Back to the Queen, used to think our best customers were M.O.Bs and M.O.Gs (mothers of the wedding couple), but now I have learnt that a day at the Races is the favourite reason to visit chesca. Whether in Ireland or Royal Ascot, in Newbury or Rippon, people are rushing out to buy a special outfit for a special occasion, or at least, a fine hatinator -we have already virtually sold out of two of your favourites (and can not replace until next year). Not all are lucky enough to be invited to the special Garden Parties, but I am amazed at how many chesca fans go to the races. Think they just like to dress up-there's a little of Eliza Doolittle in all of us
Will write soon!

Ravioli alla Ricotta e Spinaci {Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli}
Who doesn't love little edible pillows filled with creamy goodness {aka Ravioli}? You can fill them with just about whatever your heart desires. And yes even though I could eat them in their natural naked state and be quite content, my favorite way is to drizzle them with the most simple of sauces – a butter and sage sauce! Yes, that amazingly aromatic butter sauce so silky it just slides right over your tongue! mmmh swoon! Yes, food is sexy people! I keep telling you this! LOL
If you've been following along you know I recently have begun a cheese making journey, the cheese chronicles of Paula if you will tee hee. I'll be posting about my rookie journeys into the world of cheesemaking so stay tuned. Naturally I need something to do with all of this cheese. What pops in my mind of course *horns blowing, confetti flying* RAVIOLI! Yes, ravioli. The perfect vehicle for the Ricotta I just made.
Now, homemade pasta is not hard just a little time consuming, but you will be rewarded in the end. You can even make up a huge batch and freeze them so the next time you have a craving you can just visit your freezer door. Easy Peasy. Just do a quick flash freeze and then pop them into a freezer bag!
You CAN do it all by hand, you'll just need a lot of elbow grease BUT having a few tools on hand will really help out! I love my Imperia Pasta Machine. It's old school and helps me roll out my pasta quickly and efficiently. Two other tools I love now, thanks to the Sausage Debauchery, are pastry wheels and ravioli stamps. They're fantastic products that will make this process {and many others} much easier. They're very reasonably priced are beautifully made and come straight from Italy!
When making your pasta you'll KNOW when it's right. You might have to add additional flour so have that handy. If it's wet {sticky feeling} then add more flour. It's really that simple. Also worth noting is be sure NOT to add too much filling when making your ravioli. And to make sure you REALLY seal them well. If you don't they could explode in the water and make a big mess. Not pretty. And as always homemade pasta cooks much quicker than dry pasta so don't run off while it's cooking ; )
Ah, isn't pasta making so much FUN!
Ravioli alla Ricotta e Spinaci {Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli}
- 3 cups 00 flour – plus additional if necessary
- 5 eggs
- generous pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup Ricotta
- 1 pound fresh spinach - stems removed
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano - grated
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic - minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 bundle fresh Sage leaves
- pepper
- Make Pasta first. Onto a clean surface create a well with flour. Place the eggs into the center of flour well along with a pinch of salt. Using a fork, GENTLY whisk eggs together. Gradually stir the flour into the egg mixture until a rough ball forms. Knead dough until it is shiny and has a smooth texture. Adding additional flour if necessary. This could take several minutes. NOTE: You can do this in your stand mixture with a dough hook attachment. Once dough is to proper state, wrap it in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for approx 30 minutes.
- WHILE dough is resting in refrigerator, make your filling. Into a medium saute pan, add 1 tablespoon butter, garlic and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted. Transfer to colander and drain. You'll need to squeeze out EVERY bit of liquid. One spinach is completely dry, give it a rough chop. Transfer spinach to bowl, add the egg, Parmigiano, nutmeg and ricotta. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
- Place a large pot of salted water onto boil.
- Roll out pasta using either your pasta machine or a rolling pin. You'll need a very thin sheet of pasta. As thin as you can possibly manage without tearing the pasta. Place pasta sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Using a teaspoon scoop out spinach mixture onto pasta sheets. Keeping a small bit of distance between each dollop. Carefully fold another pasta sheet on top. Using your fingers to seal the pasta sheets tightly together and remove any air. Press the RAVIOLI STAMP over the ravioli using slight pressure. Continue until all ravioli are complete.
- Place ravioli into boiling water and cook until al dente. Fresh pasta only takes a few minutes to cook.
- WHILE the pasta is cooking make your sauce . Into a saute pan, melt 5 tablespoons of butter along with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add sage leaves.
- Transfer cooked ravioli into sauce pan and toss. Garnish with additional Parmigiano Reggiano and sage leaves.

i voted 🙂 and those pasta cutters are FABULOUS! no wonder those fluffy dough-pillows look so stunning…now if i could only reach through the screen and eat them 🙂2
I would love to make my own cheese! I also need some ravioli tools. I think it would be so cool to make my own!3
i was just working on a post for friday about just this dish using my husband's grandmother's recipe. We go for the round ravioli. These look perfection, so I wonder if I will.4
I have a round ravioli stamp but I'm loving that square one.5
I made raviolis with your pasta recipe and they were delicious! I used collard greens from my garden and store-bought ricotta. Delish!6
I have been following you for a while and love this recipe of yours. Where can I buy the pasta stamp and cutters?

German Cabbage and Rice Soup
Serves 4
This cabbage and rice soup is based on a traditional German recipe. It is quick, very easy to make, healthy and absolutely delicious. See the notes below for a few possible variations, including a vegetarian version. For an equally delicious dish, see the cabbage and orzo soup in the similar and related recipes links.
- 2 tablespoons butter, preferably unsalted
- 4-5 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 large onion, chopped, about 1-1/2 cups
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
- Shredded Swiss cheese for garnish, about 1 cup
Heat butter in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and onions. Cover; cook until cabbage is golden-brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes. (Cabbage heads tend to have different amounts of moisture depending on several factors, including the time of year. You might need to add a little moisture or, conversely, you might have to remove the lid to get it to brown.). Add broth, water, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes. Add rice. Continue to simmer, covered for about 20 minutes, stirring often. Taste for seasoning. Serve in individual soup bowls. Pass shredded cheese separately.
Notes: For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken broth with a low-sodium vegetable broth. You can substitute half of the butter with olive or canola oil. Since I seldom cook with white rice anymore, I use brown in this recipe. Check the box for cooking times. What I usually have on hand takes about 50 minutes to cook, so I add it with the broth and cook the soup for an additional 15 minutes. However, you can get a quick-cooking brown rice that takes about 20 minutes. Use a really good Swiss or Swiss-style cheese, such as Gruyere, Emmentaler or Jarlsberg. The more flavorful the cheese, the less you will need.

Topic: Milestone Reached
Well, I know this is about the cc and Mark but I still have a milestone I want to share.
As many of you know my then 19 year old son was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the same time Mark was diagnosed with his cc.
My son had his surgery 7-11-13 where they took out 90 lymph nodes in his neck of which 30 were positive for cancer plus his thyroid and part of a blood vessel and some muscle that were affected. He had his one year follow up with his doctor today and he is still CANCER FREE!! I can't believe I get to (or have to) say that about two close people in my life. He saw the endocrinologist that is following him and other than needing to increase his thyroid medication again, he was absolutely fine. Four more clear checks and they will consider him CURED! There's another good word.
Thanks everyone for your positive support and thoughts through this. Love you all.

TAYLOR Swift has given her thoughts on the future of the music industry (it's not "dying", it's coming "alive"), why she remains "an enthusiastic optimist" and why her relationship with her fans is comparable to a romantic one (is anybody surprised?).
"Before I tell you my thoughts on the matter, you should know that you're reading the opinion of an enthusiastic optimist," Swift wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, going on to say that she believes "the value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into a body of work".
She also gave her views on declining album sales. "I'd like to point out that people are still buying albums, but now they're buying just a few of them," Swift wrote.
TAY"They are buying only the ones that hit them like an arrow through the heart or have made them feel strong or allowed them to feel like they really aren't alone in feeling so alone."
Never one to shy away from romance, Swift then compared her relationship with her fans as a romantic one.
"I think forming a bond with fans in the future will come in the form of constantly providing them with the element of surprise … I believe couples can stay in love for decades if they just continue to surprise each other, so why can't this love affair exist between an artist and their fans?" she wrote.
Swift also said that the way she interacts with fans is totally different from when she first started out. "There are a few things I have witnessed becoming obsolete in the past few years, the first being autographs. I haven't been asked for an autograph since the invention of the iPhone with a front-facing camera. The only memento kids want is a selfie. It's part of the new currency, which seems to be, 'How many followers do you have on Instagram?'"
However, there are "some things that will never change", Swift said, adding, "there will always be an increasing fixation on the private lives of musicians", which even she plans to watch play out as she gets older.
"I'll just be sitting back and growing old, watching all of this happen or not happen, all while trying to maintain a life rooted in this same optimism," she wrote. "And I'd also like a nice garden."

Oregon's gross domestic product grew by 4.7 percent last year, that's the second biggest increase seen in all states.
Gross domestic product is defined as the value added by production, so the wages of employees; the profits of businesses; and the taxes paid to governments.
In Oregon, the GDP of the construction sector, the education sector and health all grew by about 4 percent.
But Josh Lehner of the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis says it's the 15 percent increase in the high tech manufacturing sector that pushed the state to the top of the growth chart.
Josh Lehner: "I think overall this is just the basic story, the basic pattern that we would expect in recovery, given our industry structure here in the state."
The report from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis did have a few negative growth numbers for Oregon. The natural resources sector shrank 11 percent. And government also shrank by 0.7 percent.

By Billy Graham • August 27, 2014 • Topics: Forgiveness
It's always important to seek the forgiveness of those we've hurt, even if it is hard to do. Jesus said that if "your brother or sister has something against you … First go and be reconciled to them" (Matthew 5:23-24).
They may not forgive you, of course; they may reject your attempt or react with renewed anger over what you did, but then it becomes their problem, not yours. You will have done everything you could to let them know you regret what happened, and that you want their forgiveness. That's what's important to God. The Bible tells us to "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone" (Colossians 3:13).
Why is it important to seek the forgiveness of those we've hurt? For one thing, it could bring about reconciliation. After all, you were the one at fault; you alone are responsible for the hurt that resulted. But that hurt will only be healed if you seek to heal it (and if the other person responds).
But now that you've given your life to Christ, you have another important reason to seek the forgiveness of those you've hurt. It's this: You now have an opportunity to tell them how God has forgiven you — and how He can forgive them also. No matter how much you've wronged others, it's small compared with the wrongs we've committed against God. And yet He still loves us, and Christ stands ready to forgive us.
Thankyou mI have found what I have been lookig for.
This is inspiring
AMEN -'God has real unconditional love, and we all should try more of this.
Thank You! I certainly needed this today with the hard broken home I have. Now I will ask my father for forgiveness. God Bless You!

Euro style plates
Does anyone know if I can put euro style plates on front and back, or just front. I already have custom plates, but if I put the same numbers on the plate I think that should work. I have found a service in Ireland that will also stamp a "slogan" on the plate, so along with the number I can have "Texas - State of the Arts" on the bottom of the tags. I've seen these in the Dallas area on front and back, but has anyone else had any experience with these?

ITworld.com –
Corporations are adopting wireless devices at an increasing rate, though few say they have created formal programs for rolling them out to employees, according to a survey released Monday.
Roughly half of 400 IT managers polled by Santa Cruz, California-based Evans Data Corp. said they are planning to build out corporate networks in the next year so they can be accessed wirelessly. But while the applications are in the making, few respondents said they have game plans for deploying and managing wireless networks.
While momentum is growing in favor of bringing wireless devices into the workplace, from Internet-connected mobile phones to handheld computers to pagers, only 30 percent of the IT managers polled said they have budgets for making wireless hardware purchases, the Evans Data study showed.
"It's essentially a grassroots revolution in which employees are bringing these devices into the organizations," said Joe McKendrick, an analyst with Evans Data. "Employees are still essentially the prime purchasers for these devices."
Companies that give wireless devices access to corporate networks without planning for it can run into problems, McKendrick said. Possible security breaches stemming from the use of wireless devices with access to corporate networks is the number one concern among IT managers. Also, companies are finding that properly integrating new wireless devices into existing corporate computing systems isn't easy, the study found. These concerns are compounded by the fact that most of those polled said their companies don't set formal system requirements for employees who purchase wireless devices for the workplace.
"You can imagine the challenges the help desk has when trying to manage all these different devices," he said.
Forty-six percent of corporate IT managers polled said they will undertake development of wireless applications for their businesses in the next year. Those include corporate portals where employees can access company documents and information wirelessly from any Web browser, as well as wireless services for remotely accessing corporate e-mail and other business services, according to Evans Data.
"The killer app for wireless devices is e-mail," McKendrick said.
Roughly half of the respondents that are planning wireless development projects will start with corporate e-mail. Also about half said they will build a corporate instant messaging system and about 28 percent will build some type of wireless portal for retrieving corporate data remotely, Evans Data found.
More advanced wireless applications are also finding new appeal in the corporation. About 26 percent of the IT managers polled by Evans Data said they are working to build wireless connectivity to salesforce automation systems, which would let sales representatives access these systems from a wireless device while on the road. Wireless access to CRM (Customer Resource Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Management) systems were also identified as areas of interest.
More IT managers said they are building these systems to be accessed from handheld devices running Palm Inc.'s handheld operating system than the Pocket PC system from Microsoft Corp., Evans Data said.
However, no trends surfaced as to which platform will dominate the enterprise. Palm lead Microsoft with 25 percent of respondents saying that they develop on the Palm operating system compared to 21 percent who say they develop for Pocket PC, the research firm said. The percentage of developers supporting Palm's operating system fell from 35 percent last year while the number of developers supporting Microsoft's operating system held steady. About 37 percent of IT managers polled still haven't decided which platform to support.
However, McKendrick noted that the popularity of competing platforms among managers heading up IT departments has only a moderate effect on what actually gets implemented. Half of the IT managers surveyed said they have no involvement with their company's technology acquisition process.
"Mangers play a fairly minimal role as to the purchases of what devices are being brought into the organization," he said.
For the past two years, Evans Data has conducted a survey every six months with about 400 IT managers at companies with more than 2,000 employees.

A young man has died after competing in a gruelling triathlon in rural southern Queensland.
Tom Lyons, 21, competed in the Hell of the West triathlon at Goondiwindi, near the Queensland and New South Wales border on Sunday, but collapsed after crossing the finish line.
He could not be revived.
Triathlon committee member Peter Crothers told The Toowoomba Chronicle Mr Lyons "finished the race seemingly in good health and good spirits" but collapsed as he made his way to the recovery area.
Mr Crothers said a fellow competitor and on-site medical staff rushed to the man's aid.
''The first or second competitor behind him was a doctor himself,'' he said.
More than 800 people took part in the gruelling race, which comprises a two kilometre swim in the Macintyre River, an 80 kilometre bike ride and a 20 kilometre run.
On its website the triathlon is described as being one of Australia's toughest races and ''not for the faint hearted''.
Competitors raced in 34.4 degree heat on Sunday.
The death of the former Toowoomba Grammar School student has shocked the Southern Downs community.
Toowoomba Grammar School headmaster Peter Hauser remembered Mr Lyons as an outstanding young man, who graduated with an OP1 and captained the school's first XV rugby union squad and the first XI cricket team.
''He was a young man of high intellect and diligence,'' Mr Hauser told The Toowoomba Chronicle.
''[He was] a very humble young man and had the great ability to relate to everyone.
''It [his death] will go right through the school community.''
Friends have also paid tribute to Mr Lyons on Facebook.
''I love you Tommy, but I'm very happy you went out going as hard as you could. Love you forever Tom,'' one friend wrote.
Another wrote: ''Thomas you have changed my life forever! Be good mate.''
The cause of Mr Lyons' death is under investigation.

About the Dev: He is a self-taught programmer (started at 10 years old) and has knowledge of few dozen programming languages and mastered about half of them. Forever living the dream as a wizard apprentice.
Words of Wisdom: Disregard succubi, acquire magic.
Stephane, GW2 Community team: WvW Rush Box immediately felt like a well-designed overlay application. It has a unified look&feel which makes it easily readable on top of Guild Wars 2. I liked its modularity as it allowed to open only the windows I want and position them wherever it works best. The application manages to convey important information in a subtle way, like income, bloodlust or timers. It has all the basic features you'd expect from a WvW application, including TeamSpeak integration, without overloading you with too many tools.
Regina, GW2 Community team: WvW Rush Box has an easy-to-parse interface, allowing a user to understand a lot of information with just a quick glance. While other WvW overlay apps may use a mini-map that is a replica of the Guild Wars 2 in-game map, with all the terrain details involved, WvW Rush Box's design is a lot simpler—to its advantage. Rather than using a numerical countdown for RI, WvW Rush Box opted for a graphical way of displaying that information, and again the simpler way works well because the important information is still conveyed quickly. While other apps had more features, such as deeper TeamSpeak integration, WvW Rush Box is a polished app that provides the basics, does it very well, and also includes a few advanced features. Because of this, I felt that WvW Rush Box is something that would appeal to a broader base of users.
About the app: The TS3 panel gives you the ultimate control over your TeamSpeak in an amazing looking UI. This app brings you bookmarks, mute buttons and a chat all in one!
About the Dev: He got into gaming when he was just young, starting with MMORPGs and got into more genres. Currently he's addicted to WoW, CSGO and DotA 2 where you can find him owning the field.
Words of Wisdom: Magic is real - programming!
$1,000 Cash prize
There were so many apps and so many devs that have just been amazing and deserve to have an honorable mention mention. Here are some of the amazing apps that you should check out:
About the app: An app based off of the Jasper, an open source platform for developing always-on, voice-controlled applications, that lets you control a bot by speaking in TeamSpeak!
About the Dev: He got into "real world coding" after telling a game server admin that he knew some C++ . The admin's response was something along the lines of "Cool, I could use some help with this anti cheat project I'm working on!" - and the rest is history.
About the app: An awesome Dota 2 timer that uses your TeamSpeak to share the information with your friends!
About the Dev: He's been into web development since the age of 13. Ambitious gamer and interested in the tech scene behind the games. Curious about the latest technologies and dedicated to bring people together with his software.
About the app: Markers is an amazing app that allows you to mark pretty much anything in Guild Wars 2. Your imagination is the limit with what you can do with this, from creating a scavenger hunt all across Tyria to just helping your Orichalcum runs.
About the Dev: If he likes a game, he doesn't just play it, he's committed to it. You'll always see him trying to make the game even better, usually bound to giving feedback in forums.
About the app: Brian created a clean and easy to use Guild Wars 2 WvW app that provides you with all the info you need to rule in World versus World. It also adds the ability to see everyone on the map who has that app and enters in a key, syncing everyone up.
About the Dev: He got interested in programming early because Johnny 5, WOPR and HAL were awesome (from the movies Short Circuit, War Games and 2001 respectively). Brian's first useful program was a key logger to get his Mom's AOL password. She eventually figured it out but for a few days he was able to play on Diablo 2 on Battle.net after 9PM, free from they tyranny parental controls. Since then I've written many more programs with far less nefarious goals.
About the app: These timers are sleek and don't interfere with your game. You won't even see them unless an objective was flipped. The best part is? You get a great wake up call whenever something is taken so you never miss when someone flips your camps.
About the Dev: René started his programming ways in Flash4 back in 1999 and then continued learning several programming languages shortly after (PHP, Javascript, Python, C#, you name it). He now works full time as an CDN innovation engineer at an international hosting provider and is a gamer mainly interested in multiplayer games. He normally enjoys the community/guilds/people more then the game itself.
About the app: Toolbox is exactly that, a wonderful toolbox. It brings to you a TeamSpeak chat, a ready check, sound control, an announcement system and a Guild Wars 2 WvW map all in a very unique and good looking UI coupled with a huge amount of hotkeys.
About the Dev: Has been drawn to coding by his interest in audio engineering, so naturally majored in analytical philosophy. Claims to not regret it. If you want to see more from thorwe, check out his github page (thorwe.github.io).

|2004S-0212 - Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Dr. Susan Smith
|Date & Time:
|10/16/2004 04:10:04
|Organization :
|Rensselaer Polytechnic University
|Category :
|Issue Areas/Comments
| 1) This document has a serious flaw that undermines confidence in all of its conclusions. It does not address fundamental underlying conditions that lead to frequent recombination between viruses from different hosts, a major cause of differences in yearly flu strains and periodic pandemic- causing strains: the agricultural practices in Southeast Asia, where humans, birds, and pigs live in unhygienic proximity. HHS should take the lead with WHO, the World Bank, the health arm of the European Union, regional Asian health organizations, and other international governmental and non-governmental organizations in addressing this problem, which already has great economic and social impacts, even without the inevitable pandemic. This is a long term, very expensive undertaking, but the investment in influenza prevention will be paid back in less work lost, less catastrophic health care costs, and greatly increased ability to prevent widespread outbreak of species-crossing flu strains (as was possible in Holland).
2) The proposals regarding increasing vaccine production capacity are good, but too conservative. The recently announced vaccine shortage made it clear that relying on two companies to meet even current vaccine needs is unwise. At least 10 companies, foundations, and/or other research organizations should be recruited through contracts for development of other vaccine manufacturing methods, development of new types of vaccines, etc. Contracts should include provisions for the government to order increased production in case of emergency. We pay lip service to the development of a 'bioshield' capable of protecting the population against engineered threats, but in reality we cannot even adequately deal with threats that periodically arise through natural gene transfer.
3) More production and stockpiling of existing antiviral drugs is a clear necessity, and development of new drugs is also imperative. Again, this draft is too conservative. Many more companies and other research organizations should be recruited to participate in this effort through government contracts and grants. Government contracts and grants for this work should also contain provisions for ordering of increased production in case of emergency.
4) Vaccination for flu of all school-age children in public schools in the U.S. should be required and conducted routinely at the schools themselves. This policy would have the immediate advantages that large amounts of vaccine would have to be produced every year, increasing the existing production capacity; distribution could be shifted in case of pandemic. In addition, several studies have shown that schools are essentially incubation vessels for flu and other viruses; reducing the incidence of flu in schools would cut down on yearly flu incidence in the general population, which would have immediate beneficial economic impacts.
5) As was also made clear by the recently announced vaccine shortage, in the case of a pandemic or other health emergency, government health organizations should control the supply and delivery of flu vaccines and antiviral treatments. Federal support to schools, hospitals and other health organizations can be subject to requisition of facilities and staff to dispense vaccine and/or antiviral treatments in case of national emergency; failure to do so will result in ridiculous local decisions (as we have seen in this flu vaccine shortage) that will have disastrous health, economic, and social effects in the case of a pandemic. Social unrest (read widespread riots and looting) will inevitably occur during a pandemic as soon as people
| realize that the distribution is being conducted inequitably, which will happen (as we have seen in the latest vaccine shortage) if left to private organizations. The priority of distribution as laid out in the draft document seems reasonable. It should be made enforceable.

STAFF at Great Sankey-based United Utilities gave up their time to help clean up the home of Warrington Town.
Twenty staff descended on the Abacus Solicitors Community Stadium, formally Cantilever Park, to give the ground a fresh new look.
Team leader Andrew Cunliffe said: "It has been great to come down and help to support our non-league club. It is a great set up they have here and we are only too happy to get out of the office for a day and provide a service to them."
The group cleaned changing rooms, cleared weeds, painted and helped to clear the car park in preparation for the next home game.
James Standing, the club's community development officer who is sponsored by the company, added: "The help this group has given us in the past and today has been fantastic and we cannot thank them enough."
For more information or to inquire about half-term sports camps and Saturday soccer sessions for four to 12-year-olds, call James on 07714 571452 or e-mail email@example.com.

Whether you've heard – or even heard of – Miguel likely depends on how you get your music. Leading up to his second album Kaleidoscope Dream, which debuted in October, the enigmatic R&B artist released a trio of digital downloads, Art Dealer Chic Vol. 1-3, online. There was an album before that, All I Want Is You, named after the achingly smooth title track that gained widespread radio play in 2010. But two years have changed the 26-year-old, born Miguel Jontel Pimentel, who not only sports a stylized new look, but has also evolved his musical persona. The efforts have not gone unnoticed; Miguel just received five Grammy nominations, including one for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Kaleidoscope Dream is also sitting pretty as New York magazine's third-best album of 2012 (and those best-of lists are only just beginning). Comparisons to Prince are understandable; both share a certain fondness for fusing luxe funk with sexy rock. But Miguel seems determined to be perceived as singular – not unlike a work of art. In advance of his Tuesday show at Toronto's Kool Haus, the Los Angeles native talked to The Globe about what it takes to stand out in the music world today.
Are you trying to give a new sound to R&B?
More than anything, I'm trying to make a statement that R&B doesn't have a particular sound. It's more about the soul behind the music that defines R&B and that makes soul music. The sound scope, the textures – sonically, at this point, that's what's been holding R&B back. It's been this regurgitated sound. And everything around it is changing. But even R&B and soul music were "popular" music – when soul music ruled radio waves and was birthing rock 'n' roll and birthing hip-hop, artists were different and had different sounds. I feel like we've forgotten that somehow. With this album, I basically wanted to remind people that you can do whatever you want as long as you're staying true to the emotion.
It seems you opted against filling Kaleidoscope Dream with collaborations – the trend today.
I wanted this album to be a reintroduction. So – and I don't know if this is the right word – I didn't want to risk watering it down, or maybe burdening it, with too many distractions.
But you still write tracks for many other artists. Do you like to keep those worlds separate?
It's not something I necessarily put much thought into. But I think because of my own [music], I feel like I'm becoming a part of someone else's creative process. It's easy for me to take a back seat. I'm just coming in to make their process sell faster – I'm just playing my position. If you need me to play quarterback, I can do that. I can block for you. I can wide receive. Whereas for my own music, it's always like, I'm coaching. I'm writing the plays. I'm just more involved.
Are you thinking about who's on the other side listening?
No, not really. It may sound a bit selfish, but the way I see it, art is supposed to be a reflection of your unique perspective. That is my sanctuary. I go to my creativity to say the things that I feel, and that in normal life, I may not say as candidly. There are so many expectations placed upon you and I have learned that the hard way – that not all forums are built to express your emotions. But art is the one place where it's your prerogative to say and do whatever the fuck you want. If people don't like it, they don't have to listen. I think art finds its audience, you know? And that's cool.
If you could own one work of art tomorrow, what would it be?
I think I've always been a surrealism fan. I really love Basquiat for the way he transitioned modern art. But for the sake of not being cliché by saying Basquiat or Haring, I would say Diego Rivera.
How do you think we'll look back on this time in music – with artists like you and Frank Ocean redefining R&B?
It's a big goal of mine to hopefully change the expectation and the sound of urban popular music. And we have had success that typically sounds very different than what's currently on the radio and so I just intend on creating more music that's true to me and at the same time, proving that you don't have to sacrifice creativity or have to follow any other particular sound to be marketable or successful commercially. All my favourite producers and artists kind of have an era where their music ruled radio waves and they defined a time and a sound. Hopefully I'm on my way.
