Fortran Interface
#include fpapi.h PAPIF_set_domain(C_INT domain, C_INT check ) PAPIF_set_event_domain(C_INT EventSet, C_INT domain, C_INT check )
PAPI_set_domain sets the default counting domain for all new event sets created by PAPI_create_eventset (3) in all threads. This call implicitly sets the domain for the cpu component (component 0) and is included to preserve backward compatibility.
PAPI_set_cmp_domain sets the default counting domain for all new event sets in all threads, and requires an explicit component argument. Event sets that are already in existence are not affected. To change the domain of an existing event set, please see the PAPI_set_opt (3) man page.The reader should note that the domain of an event set affects only the mode in which the counter continues to run. Counts are still aggregated for the current process, and not for any other processes in the system. Thus when requesting PAPI_DOM_KERNEL , the user is asking for events that occur on behalf of the process, inside the kernel.
cidx -- An integer identifier for a component. By convention, component 0 is always the cpu component. domain -- one of the following constants as defined in the papi.h header file:
PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.
PAPI_ENOCMP The argument cidx is not a valid component.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - It's a fine line between trying to warn the world about an online vulnerability and being called a hacker. Just ask Andrew Auernheimer. Two years ago, the 26-year old computer expert announced that he had found, on AT&T's ( T) Web site, where the telecom giant was storing more than 100,000 email addresses of Apple ( AAPL) iPad owners/subscribers. He said he wanted to warn everyone - AT&T, Apple and the general public - that the information wasn't secure. AT&T - and U.S. prosecutors - saw it differently. Late yesterday, Auernheimer was found guilty, in Federal court in Newark, N.J., on one count of conspiracy to gain access to computers and one count of identity theft. According to Wired, the jury decided the case within hours. Auernheimer faces as much as 10 years in prison as well as fines totaling $500,000. Sentencing has been delayed pending a possible plea agreement. A co-defendant in the case pleaded guilty to similar charges back in June. Daniel Spitler admitted to creating what he called the "iPad 3G Account Slurper" and then used it to gain access to AT&T servers, gather e-mail addresses and 3G iPad information. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

UNO to honor N.O. native Larroquette
The University of Louisiana system board on Tuesday granted the University of New Orleans's request to grant Emmy Award winning actor and New Orleans native John Larroquette an honorary doctor of humane letters degree at its spring graduation.
Larroquette, 65, won four Emmys for his portrayal as lawyer Dan Fielding on the NBC sitcom "Night Court." He later won critical acclaim for his role as John Hemmingway on "The John Larroquette Show."
Knapp: Higher ed budget cuts hurt La.
Baton Rouge Area Chamber President Adam Knapp didn't paint the rosiest picture of the state Legislature at a higher education conference six days ago.
Knapp said year-after-year budget cuts to higher education has been "the biggest hindrance" to the state's economic development. "The Legislature is not set up to make tough decisions. We have an environment where it's impossible to add new revenues and the Legislature is historically unwilling to give up tuition authority," he said.
On the Legislature's attitude toward LSU, Knapp said: "There is no path to funding LSU as a flagship like its peers around the country. The hard decisions aren't being made."
News conference free, but not tour
Oak Alley Plantation seemed to indicate Thursday in a tweet that the public would need to buy tickets to attend Gov. Bobby Jindal's news conference at the historic home.
Jindal visited the plantation to make an economic development announcement.
"Bobby will be here for a private announcement. Public is welcome, but they must purchase ticket to grounds," Oak Alley tweeted hours before the event.
The governor's communications director, Kyle Plotkin, said the tweet stemmed from a misunderstanding among the plantation's staff.
He said the news conference was open for free to the public, but anyone wanting to tour the plantation afterward needed to buy a ticket.
Nungesser mulling run for Lt. Gov.
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser is eying another run for lieutenant governor come 2015.
If Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne makes a governor's race bid, "then I'm definitely going to make a run for it," Nungesser said last week.
Nungesser was in Baton Rouge for a $1,000 per person luncheon fundraiser as he continues to retire a debt left over from the 2011 campaign. Nungesser's 2012 campaign report showed he still owed himself $245,000.
Nungesser said he's trying to pay off the debt and "get a good jump" on the next election early.
"I learned a lot last time," said Nungesser, who said in 2011 he got in the race late and was dealing with problems back home including the BP oil spill aftermath.
He promised a "hands-on" campaign next time around.
Ortego wants focus on education, health
State Rep. Stephen Ortego called Jindal's tax swap plan, which eliminates individual and corporate income tax, "a dangerous distraction more than anything" in a Press Club of Baton Rouge talk last week.
He said the state needs to focus on education and health care, "which is what people in Louisiana are really longing for."
Not a year ago, Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret was bragging about Louisiana being ranked as second in the nation by the Tax Foundation for tax friendliness to new business and 10th lowest for mature firms, said Ortego, D-Carencro.
"Now all of a sudden it has become a problem," Ortego told the Press Club of Baton Rouge.
La. insurance panels to study 'Obamacare'
The Legislature's insurance committees have scheduled a March 13 special hearing on the federal health care revamp, commonly referred to as Obamacare.
Legislators will gather information about the possible expansion of the Medicaid program to provide health care services to more Louisiana residents and the operation of a health insurance exchange program to offer affordable health insurance coverage.
Gov. Bobby Jindal rejected the idea of Medicaid expansion, which some have estimated could give health coverage policies to about 420,000 uninsured people in the state. Jindal also rejected setting up an insurance exchange, another key piece of the federal law, through which consumers could compare and shop for their own insurance policies offered for sale by private companies.
"Despite much speculation to the contrary over the last several years, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the law of the land," Senate Insurance Committee chairman Dan "Blade" Morrish, R-Jennings, said in calling the meeting.
"We want to hear from all of those involved on all sides of the issue to help us determine what is the right thing to do for Louisiana and our citizens when it comes to deciding how to implement the health care reforms in our state. There is too much at stake not to do otherwise," he said.
The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. in House Committee Room 5 at the State Capitol.
Governor names Woodley to panel
Gov. Bobby Jindal has named newly hired University of Louisiana system President Sandra Woodley to the Board of Control for Southern Regional Education. The board organizes education leaders in member states to work toward advancing education and improving the social and economic conditions in the southeast region of the country.
Erwin to address Press Club of BR
Barry Erwin, president of Council for a Better Louisiana, will be the guest speaker for Monday's lunch meeting of the Baton Rouge Press Club.
Erwin will discuss tax reform, a topic for the Legislature for the first time in a number of years. CABL has been monitoring and analyzing proposals from the governor and legislators, as well as other state think-tank groups.
The Press Club meets at De La Ronde Hall, 320 Third St. in downtown Baton Rouge. Lunch, which is served at 11:30 a.m., is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers.
The public is invited, but only members of the Press Club and the news media are allowed to ask questions.
Brazile headlines N.O. political forum
Democratic strategist and New Orleans native Donna Brazile will serve as the featured speaker of the Institute of Politics event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Loyola University in the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall on the second floor of the Communications/Music Complex on the school's main campus.

Do you think that Schools will disappear in the next 20 years or not?
From my point of view, in the future, school will never disappear! First of all, schools have existed for thousands of years, so they will not disappear in the next 20 years. Furthermore, society is developing more and more. Therefore, people will need to go to school to improve their knowledge. For example, the number of students studying at RMIT International University Vietnam is increasing quickly. Above all else, people want to get a higher education. As a result, schools are getting larger. For instance, in the past, Vietnam had less than 100 schools, but now, it has more than 1,000 schools. In conclusion, I strongly believe that schools will never disappear. Perhaps governments should invest to build more schools.
What about you guys?
Do you think that Schools will disappear in the next 20 years or not?
Hope to see your opinion here soon.

Update, 10:30 a.m.: The Rangers have re-signed Greg Moore, ensuring more trips on the Greg Moore Highway. No word yet on terms…
Earlier: One of the side effects of a job covering the Rangers is that when you go to a barbecue or the beach or even a golf tournament, people are likely to ask you about the team's prospects for the season ahead. Which is fine. I like talking about the Rangers, otherwise writing about them in a blog and a newspaper would become painfully tedious.
But at least a half dozen times this weekend when people asked me what I thought about the team's offseason moves, I struggled to articulate what exactly they've done.
Obviously, I know what they've done. I can give you the full list of trades, signings, and departures. But when it comes to assessing whether those moves helped or hurt the team, that's when things get trickier
So usually I spew something about how they're expecting to be a little quicker and a little more cohesive without some of their high-maintenance components from last season, and that they're counting on a handful of new acquisitions to thrive under the spotlight in New York. And right about then is when the red flag should go up in all of your heads.
Look, this could work. There is a very good chance that Nikolai Zherdev delivers on his explosive potential. There is a chance that Markus Naslund looks more like a perennial All-Star than the aging wing he resembled last year in Vancouver; just as there is the good chance Wade Redden flourishes upon leaving what had become a negative atmosphere in Ottawa. All of those things, along with an increased comfort level for the likes of Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, and Henrik Lundqvist, and another year of seasoning for Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan and Nigel Dawes could make the Rangers a scrappier, more dangerous team in 2008-09.
But (and you knew this was coming)…….
What's also to say these Rangers don't turn out to be something like the 1997-98 Rangers? Think about it: a team loses a charismatic legendary captain and is forced to rely on players who either a) haven't shouldered such a hefty responsibility before, or b) are past the point of being able to do so. A team that brings in some free agent signings as either a false tonic or a stop-gap solution, only to see those players are out of their depth playing in New York (or when it comes to Pat LaFontaine, riddled by injury).
Granted, every year is different, and they all contain extenuating circumstances that don't apply anywhere else. But if there's one note of caution, it is this: when you've had a reasonably effective formula for success, you put yourself at much greater risk when you decide to abandon that formula and begin anew.

Gov. Bobby Jindal's education agenda, which roared through the Legislature last year, is under fire on three new fronts.
A teacher union-backed bill to delay the key impact of Louisiana's new evaluations for public school teachers sailed through the House Education Committee.
Another measure backed by the panel would block plans by the Jindal administration to change the state's criteria for grading high schools.
And three other bills aimed at making sure some of the governor's key school changes from 2012 can withstand any court challenge face uncertain futures after being dropped from the committee's agenda on Thursday.
All the action represents a marked contrast to the 2012 session, when the House Education Committee served as a launching pad for much of the governor's education overhaul.
Last year, two sweeping public schools bills pushed by Jindal shot through the Legislature in just 23 days, often over complaints that the same House panel ran roughshod over opponents.
Both laws are tied up in legal fights in the Louisiana Supreme Court.
The teacher evaluation and high school grading bills, as well as the three others, are all at relatively early stages in the legislative process.
The session ends on June 6.
But Democrats and other Jindal critics, who were routed last year, say things have changed in 2013.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Bel Edwards, of Amite, said the governor's slippage in the polls, and complaints that lawmakers heard from some constituents after the quick approval of last year's education overhaul, have helped fuel new sentiments.
"You also have a more effective, more unified front on the public education side, meaning the superintendents, the school boards, the teacher groups, all of them together," said Edwards, who is a member of the House Education committee.
Jindal, in comments to reporters on Thursday, said his administration did not oppose the evaluation delay bill and that his team is willing to work with those who want to improve the reviews.
The governor said he is "not interested in those who simply want to dilute our standards."
But many of the same groups that backed last year's changes, including those aimed at improving teacher performance, are vowing to fight the bill to delay teacher evaluations, which is House Bill 166.
In additions, leaders of Jindal's state Department of Education have previously said the new reviews are ready to go and have been thoroughly vetted.
Under current rules, teachers rated as "ineffective" in the current school year and in the 2013-14 school year could be dismissed.
The measure, by state Rep. Gene Reynolds, D-Dubberly, would delay that timetable by one year. Reynolds said Friday he is optimistic about House passage.
Backers say that would give state officials time to work out what they call serious flaws in the new rating system.
Opponents contend any delay would be a huge mistake.
Rayne Martin, executive director of Stand for Children, said some school districts have already had three years to try out the new reviews. The multi-state group advocates changes in education policy.
"Can the 250,000 students in Louisiana who are below grade level really wait another year to get the highly-effective teachers they must have in the classroom to help them learn?" Martin's group asked in a prepared statement.
The key dispute over teacher evaluations, which were changed in 2010 and last year, is the requirement that half of a teacher's assessment has to be linked to the growth of student achievement.
The other half stems from classroom observations by principals and others.
Reynolds' bill, which originally required annual legislative oversight of the teacher reviews, won bipartisan committee approval — a major departure from last year — after that provision was removed.
State Rep. Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge and another panel member, said it is significant that Reynolds' bill and others are advancing with the support of some backers of last year's Jindal-backed education bills.
"That makes a big difference," Smith said.
Backers of the legislation to shelve states plans to use ACT results — a test of college readiness — in assigning letter grades said the new criteria would hurt even top-flight schools, including Central and West Feliciana high schools.
Opponents of the bill say the ACT is one of several ways to improve student achievement, and that students have consistently risen to the occasion when standards are toughened.
The three proposals that are stalled — House Bills 596, 478 and 644 — are aimed at reinstating key provisions of one of last year's omnibus public school bills in case it is struck down by the state Supreme Court.
While the bills are sympathetic to the Jindal administration, they are not part of the governor's legislative package.
"We're confident in our case and that the court will rule that the bills passed last year were constitutionally passed," Jindal said in a prepared statement issued on April 23.
David Mitchell of The Advocate's River Parishes bureau contributed to this report.

Topic: Another sort of meeting in Chicago
Although, I had a tight schedule we still made it happen. Our Linda Z, Patty, Barbara and her Mom and I were able to meet up. Patty is without a car and took the train, Barbara and her Mom conquered the traffic and Linda and I connected, finally. She took her precious time and fought her way into the city. It made me very happy.
There is something so very special when meeting those we are connected with and yet, have never been able to see in person. And, nothing beats the great hugs given and received.
We had a great time. The three Italians know how to keep a conversation going, right Linda?
It was fun. I can't wait to do the same, next year.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Partners Restore Lake Brazos Fishery
ATHENS — A recent cooperative effort between Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD Inland Fisheries management staff, the City of Waco, Cameron Park Zoo, and some local scouts from China Spring deployed new fish habitat into Lake Brazos on Wednesday.
Twenty fish attractors primarily composed of bamboo from nearby Cameron Park Zoo were sunk near newly renovated or newly constructed piers and shelters along both sides of the lake between Doris D. Miller Park and Cameron Park. The new fish habitat simulates flooded brush habitat and will draw in fish species of every kind and size. Forage species like sunfishes feed on aquatic insects that are naturally drawn to the habitat. Additionally, this somewhat complex system of stems, branches and leaves provides cover for small fishes from larger predators such as largemouth bass and catfish.
Crappies are also known for selecting these types of underwater haunts to hang-out in, hence their name, "crappie condos."
TPWD Inland Fisheries management biologists in Waco have been cooperating with the City of Waco and other partners for years to create a viable fishery on Lake Brazos. The City of Waco initiated the first step by replacing the faulty dam with a new labyrinth weir dam, which was completed in 2007. The new dam maintains a near constant-level lake year round.
Biologists have since stocked 58,000 bluegill, over 12,000 largemouth bass, 132,525 Florida largemouth bass, 126,855 channel catfish, and nearly 100,000 blue catfish for anglers to take advantage of. Recreational features including walkways, picnic shelters, boat ramps, and fishing and boating piers continue to be constructed and updated along the lower two-thirds of the reservoir adjacent to the city of Waco. The new fish attractors are all within easy casting distance of many of these facilities.
Anglers who have not fished Lake Brazos recently are in for a pleasant surprise. Lake Brazos boasts some of the highest catch rates for channel and blue catfish in Central Texas, and the majority of these are of legal size. Flathead catfish are also found in the lake. Temperate bass anglers can target low density populations of white bass and striped bass. Hybrid striped bass, emigrating from Lake Waco, may also be encountered. Black bass anglers can encounter quality largemouth and spotted bass, and smallmouth bass are not out of the question, since over 20,000 fingerlings have been stocked just 42 river miles upstream in the Lake Whitney tailrace since 2008. Good numbers of white crappie and sunfishes, including bluegill, longear and redear sunfish, have also been sampled recently.
Doris D. Miller Park off MLK Boulevard houses a tackle loaner program where anglers can borrow fishing tackle at no cost. Please contact the TPWD Waco fisheries management office for more details at (254) 666-5190.

Artists Malcolm and Mary Ann Owen own a small metalworking studio located in the northern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, not far from the Canadian border. They have owned and operated the studio since 1976.
The Owens work with copper, brass, gold and sterling silver, creating clocks and other small household objects. Most works are a collaborative effort, with Mary Ann creating the theme and layout of the pieces and Malcolm working on the mechanical aspects of production. Both partners also independently create one-of-a-kind works: Mary Ann makes jewelry and small-scale sculptures, and Malcolm makes large sculptural and decorative work.
As a child, Mary Ann was always interested in a variety of crafts. After being introduced to a wide range of metalworking techniques in college, she concentrated on jewelry making. The small figures seen throughout her work create a special intimacy with the viewer and a metaphor about people and time.
Malcolm has always had a strong bond with tools, both to use and to make. As a self-taught blacksmith he made many of the hammers and stakes still used in the studio today. His training in philosophy combined with his love of tools resonates in his work.
Their artwork is unique and insightful in their design and craftsmanship. Each piece is entirely handmade from start to finish by the artists. The variations in patina and figure placement are considered desirable and normal thus marking each piece as truly handcrafted.

Police and a number of other agencies in France are involved in searching for Mr Levesconte.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact Salisbury CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

they are really tiny diamonds, very thin bands, you really need to purchase a substantial number of these rings to stack in order to be noticed. They are pretty, but in my opinion not worth the price, they really should not be asking more than $100 per ring..Read More
Great value...pleasantly surprised.Read More
Beautiful ring but too thin
I purchased two thinking I would get a nice stacked look but the two rings stacked were barely equal to one normal ring.Read More
perfect stacking ring
this ring was better in person than on site. I got the rose gold to accompany 2 other small rose gold rings I have. It looks great!! I was very pleased especially with the price point. The other 2 rings I have were much more than this one. The only negative, and it is a small one, is that it is a bit rough on the edges and not comfortable wearing it as the first ring. That may be just me.Read More
very disappointed
No. Not worth it. Bought this to stack with my other thin band pave ring. I thought that it would be about the same width as my current ring - which is a VERY thin band. This was somehow even smaller. You cant even tell it has diamonds its so small. Doesn't sparkle. The metal even looked off when looked at it next to the other rings I own that are white gold. Immediate return.Read More

sweet and delicate ring
This is a very pretty, very thin and delicate looking ring. I would describe it as 'micro pave'. It has a fair amount of sparkle and a vintage look to it. For the price, it is just what I wanted and I am very happy with it. Be aware before purchasing that it is a very thin band and is great as a stacking ring or for a delicate, unobtrusive look...Read More
Too Large
This ring was exactly what I was looking but did not come in my size, Since I planned to stack it I was hoping the other rings would hold it in place. However this did not work so I had to return it. I read all the reviews on it and would add that it is Very Small. The band is not 2mm but barely 1mm making the diamonds miniscule. The person who discribed them as no bigger then the head of a pin was accurate. However it is beautiful and sparkly. If you are prepared for the stones to be very small you will not be disappointed as it stacks well and adds sparkle to your collection. Had they had it in a 4.5 I would have kept it. In the process of return currently and having never done that with Overstock.com I am unsure how that will go but the product I thought was worth the price if you want an eternity band.Read More
Wife loved it

Over priced
This ring is pretty, looks well done, but I thought I had a micro diamond in my other ring and I saw that was huge near this one, I would say (for me) I really need a glass to be able to see the diamond, it is the size of a needle point... very , very small.. I could return, but I am too laze to do this so I kept, but honestly it is very overpriced.... I always buy at Overstock and this was the first time I was disapointed with something, someone said it was a micro pave, so I thought , it is ok, that is what I want , but this is smaller... trust me !Read More
I have all the colors
My wife loves them!!! Great buy, they are slim, but for a women they are perfect especially if you are stacking themRead More

Victoria Beckham Wants to Murder Jennifer Lopez
Yesterday, American Idol creator Simon Fuller received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and, naturally, invited Victoria Beckham because he also manages the Spice Girls. Except she decided to show up late only to find current Idol host Jennifer Lopez had taken the front row seats leaving Posh to sit in the third row where she spent the entire ceremony shooting pure looks of icy murder that not even Randy Jackson was safe from. Which is pretty impressive considering Victoria Beckham only has one expression, yet there she is firing goddamn laser eyes in every shot. Apparently the 1/100th of a centimeter she managed to furrow her brow makes all the difference. It probably sounded like someone popping bubble wrap every time she squinted. "Take *pop* my seat *pop* will you *pop* bloody wide-ass trollop *pop* pew pew *pop* pew pew pew!"

Your Help Allows The Vincentian Fathers in Chad to Better Serve God
Friday, December 20, 2013
Success Story
Until recently, the three priests working in the Diocese of Moundou had to share two mopeds between them to visit the 41 scattered villages that make up their parish. But thanks to you, now they have an off-road vehicle. They offer a big "thank you" to you.The Republic of Chad in central sub-Saharan Africa is one of the poorest countries in the world, with roughly 80% of its people living below the poverty level. Muslims account for almost 58% of the population and are the largest single religious group in the country. Christians make up roughly a quarter of the population, while Catholics account for only 7.9%. Some 16% of the people in Chad still belong to traditional African religions.The Catholic Church in Chad is relatively young. While the first missionary approaches by Franciscan Capuchins took place as early as the 17th century, it was only in 1929 that the first permanent mission station was established, close to the present-day town of Moundou. The Diocese of Moundou, in the far south of the Republic, was established in 1959, and, according to the Pontifical Yearbook, some 358,000 of the 873,000 inhabitants of the diocese are Catholics. The Vincentian Fathers, also known as Lazarists, have only been in charge since 2011. Given the rough, untarred roads, visiting with parishioners was often a dangerous business. Most of the villages are between 6 and 20 miles away, while some of the villages are quite simply inaccessible by moped in the rainy season, leaving the faithful without pastoral care for several months of the year.Fortunately, thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, ACN was able to help the Lazarist Fathers with a contribution of $16,000 so they could buy a suitable off-road vehicle. Now they can reach the faithful in the outlying villages, despite the bad roads and adverse weather conditions, and bring them the life-giving Sacraments of the Church. At the same time, they can also use the vehicle for other life-saving missions, such as ferrying the sick to hospital and transporting vital supplies.The Vincentian Fathers and the Catholic faithful want to say thank you to all our benefactors for their new vehicle, which allows them to better serve God and neighbor!

As many genealogy bloggers are either traveling over the river and through the woods, or getting ready to host family, most of us will take some time and say thanks – either through a blog post, in a prayer, or perhaps aloud to our family and friends.
I would like to thank all the readers of GeneaBloggers for helping to build a vibrant community of genealogy and family history bloggers. Whether engaged on Facebook, or Twitter or blog posts, it continues to amaze me what a great time it is to be a genealogist!
GeneaBloggers will have its 500,000th visitor (yes, can you believe it?) sometime next week and I want to thank everyone for their support.

"This card was everything I wanted. The photo came out beautifully especially since customer service advised we improve the image pixels and it definitely did make a difference! Customer service was very easy to work with and cropped the photo perfectly!"
"Our wedding shower invites and thank you post cards were absolutely beautiful. On the thank you cards we used our own (personal) photo shots and were extremely happy with the print, photo, and card stock quality. Both cards were amazing! Thank you for the beautiful work you do."
"I needed to order thank you cards in a hurry with our first shower happening soon after our engagement photo session. I selected this card as it allowed us to display one of our favorite pictures as well as plenty of space on the back to write our thanks! So many of the recipients have reached out to me saying they love the card! We definitely agree with them- we love the card too! I ordered on a Saturday afternoon, made two additional edits and received them on Wednesday afternoon with expedited shipping. The WPD customer service was great as well via phone and email. I plan to order our wedding invitations soon from this site."
"I enjoyed designing and personalizing the thank you postcard with our photo as well as the color choice at the bottom of the card. I was very pleased with the product, and our friends and family love the card. Yay! So, so, so pleased."
"It took me awhile to find a card like this. We took a photo with a 'thank you' sign I made so I didn't want another graphic 'thank you' on top. I loved collaging the 3 photos together and having 'thank you' and the simple dotted lines on back to write a short note. It even let me change the font for the 'thank you.' Only wish was to remove the Wedding Paper Divas logo but it was fine."

A naive heiress. The French Riviera.
These are the elements that combine for nearly constant hilarity in Weathervane Playhouse's final show of the season, the musical "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."
The musical, with music and lyrics by David Yazbeck and book by Jeffrey Lane, is directed and choreographed by Jim Weaver, with musical direction by John Ebner. It is based on the 1988 movie with Steve Martin and Michael Caine.
Although the musical is based off of a movie screened more than 20 years ago, there are many current-day nods and references, and at least one political jab that received more than a few snickers from the opening night audience June 6.
In the show, Lawrence Jameson (played by Patrick Michael Dukeman) is an experienced and sophisticated con man whose game is purloining the wealth of older women, usually by claiming he's royalty. He crosses paths with Freddy Benson (played by Adam Vigneault), another con man, who is as crass and rough as Lawrence is smooth and polished.
After witnessing Lawrence at work, Freddy begs the older gentleman to take him on as an apprentice. Lawrence, who is looking for a bit of a challenge, takes on the Pygmalion-esque project (even quoting from George Bernard Shaw's play). However, their cooperation is brief, and the two decide that there's only room for one con man in town. They make a bet: whomever can swindle $50,000 from a woman wins and can stay, the other must leave.
Their chosen target is Christine Colgate (played by Amanda Davis), who is known as the Soap Queen, who is vacationing at the French Riviera at the time. Colgate, who is impossibly sweet, naive and klutzy, seems to be the perfect target as Lawrence and Freddy try to out-con each other as well as the heiress.
The play ends with a twist neither con man sees coming.
Also featured in the play are Meg Hopp as the wealthy Muriel Eubanks, Kyla Williger as the hilarious Jolene Oakes, and Daniel Colaner as Lawrence's friend and "manager" Andre Thibault.
Also deserving recognition are the staff and volunteers who worked on the many impressive set pieces and costumes.
"My assistant Kathy and all of our volunteers helped out," said Alan Scott Ferrall, scenic designer and Cuyahoga Falls resident after the opening night show. "We were painting until about 5 this afternoon. This is bigger than we usually do. There are more locations. This was a musical based on a movie, so it changed locations more."
Vigneault said the show was hard work, but fun to do.
"I lost about 10 pounds just running around," he said. "There are so many characters I have to pull from one character. But it's been a lot of fun to do. It's been wonderful working with my fiance, Mandy (Davis, who plays Christine). Mandy and I have done shows together, but we've never worked across from each other."

FINDLAY Paying back college school loans can be a major headache for any person who decided to further advance their education after their high school days without the benefit of getting any help.
For senior Tyler Felt, a basketball standout at Cambridge High School, returning dinero to Uncle Sam is something he wont have to worry about after earning a full ride to the University of Findlay ($27,000 per year) to play basketball for the Oilers.
Felt recently signed a letter of intent to attend Findlay this fall and is excited to have the opportunity to play collegiate ball.
Findlay has a deep tradition in basketball like Cambridge does, Felt noted. Coach Ron Niekamp has done a great job there. Theyve won 20 some games for several seasons in a row and they always make the NCAA Tournament.
When I visited, the guys were really nice. Of course, Dorian Bass (a former John Glenn High standout) is up there so at least Ill have someone who I know. With Dorian just going through his freshman year, Im sure hell help me next year. The team seems to be really close and is a family like Cambridge basketball, Felt added.
When taking a look at Felts statistics over his four-year career at CHS, its easy to see why Niekamp is amped to have the Bobcat signed.
Felt began his varsity career as a freshman in 2000-01. He tallied 58 points in 19 games, including a season-high 15 in a 58-46 Division II Sectional Tournament victory over Maysville. He scored the first points of his career against East Central Ohio League foe Indian Valley in the fifth game of the season. He finished averaging 3.1 points per game for the 20-5 Bobcats, which included a trip to the D-II Regional Tournament in Athens.
In his sophomore campaign, Felt recorded 234 points in 21 games, including a career-high 27 against Coshocton. He averaged 11.1 ppg as the Cats went 17-4.
Felts production increased in his junior year as he concluded the season with 271 points in 21 games for a 12.9 ppg. Cambridge went 19-2 and won the ECOL.
This past season, Tyler posted 367 points in 25 games. He ended the year averaging 14.7 ppg as Cambridge went 19-5, including a regional trip (lost to Columbus Beechcroft, 53-45) to Athens.
Felt tallied 930 points in his CHS career (86 games) for a 10.8 ppg average. He was the 12th player in CHS history to score over 900 points. He also has 502 career rebounds (5.84 rpg) for fourth on all-time list; and 98 steals, which is good for fifth all-time.

Just one month after USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack warned Congress of the "high probability" of furloughs, Congressional appropriators have approved the department's request to shift funds instead.
According to Government Executive, roughly 94,000 USDA employees are now off the hook this fiscal year.
The furloughs had previously been proposed for employees working within the Farm Service Agency and Rural Development division.
In early April, Vilsack requested to use special limited budget flexibility, also known as interchange transfer authority, to cover salary shortfalls within the Rural Development. Congress had until May 23 to respond. Read more here.
Vilsack also pledged to give up part of his salary if the USDA was forced to furlough employees.

ARM POPs for better designs
Post a comment
The more help you can provide, the faster a company is able to get a quality product out of the door, with less risk involved. That is the objective of the Processor Optimization Packs (POP)s from ARM. Today they are launching a bunch of new ones targeting the TSMC 40nm and 28nm processes including Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7, Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15 processor cores. POPs enable quickly timing closure for single-, dual- and quad-core implementations across a broad envelope of power, performance and area optimization points. The summary of existing and new POPs is shown below.
- it contains ARM Artisan Physical IP logic libraries and memory instances that are tuned for a given ARM core and process technology.
- it includes a comprehensive benchmarking report to document the exact conditions and results ARM achieved for the core implementation.
- it includes a POP Implementation Guide that details the methodology used to achieve the result, to enable the end customer to achieve the same implementation quickly and at low risk.
The following chart gives a feel for the range of solutions possible, even though the axes are unscaled.

But the Turkic states are generally Islamic countries…Consequently Turkey will become the leader of Muslims, Christians and Jews Insha'Allah. That is, it is the leader, it will be the leader. And it will present peace, bliss and justice to all.

Adnan Oktar: The salvation of the EU and America lies in the TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION. IF TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION IS NOT ESTABLISHED, EUROPE COLLAPSES. So does America. That is, both parties are proceeding towards a collapse.

In its last issue, "Der Spiegel", the leading political magazine of Germany, devoted considerable space to the developments in Turkey and said, "While Europe thinks over its future, Turkey has become a dynamic regional power."

He pulled out of his first jump in mid-air. For his second attempt, he ran through on to the mat to register another foul. On his third leap he looked like he might make it, only to land on the bar and bring it down with his hands. And with that, Steve Hooker's unlikely bid to overcome the yips and make a tilt at Olympic gold came to an end.
Hooker bowed out with three straight misses at his entry height of 5.65m, feeling "bitter-sweet" at the experience given the road he had travelled to get here.
"Bitter-sweet but more on the bitter side," he said, describing his night. "It was great to be out there, it was an amazing competition to be in - an Olympic final is a huge thing and I gave it as good a crack as I could today. It didn't quite happen. It was close."
Hooker said he had warmed up well, jumping close to 5.90m. And so he went in confident, the final coming as it did after he had jumped 5.72m at his last meet in Poland. He had cleared 5.50m in the qualifiers in London, but passed at that height this time, choosing to begin at 5.65m.
"My thoughts before that jump were positive. I had the right things going on through my mind and I felt like I could run down and put down a jump to clear that bar. I was positive until I hit it and fell to the mat," he said.
Ultimately, it appears Hooker ran out of time to rebuild his jumping after the nadir of the world championships in Daegu last year, when he ran through to the mat three times and was eliminated.
"The Olympics is at a set point in time. What makes the Olympics so special is it is one day every four years and you have to get it right on that one day. And it is not just about the day. It is about the last two years. And if you look at the guy that won [France's Renaud Lavillenie with an Olympic record height of 5.97m, beating Hooker's 5.96m from Beijing], he is the guy that has been the best over the last two years. He is the guy that deserved to win, its as simple as that," Hooker said.
"You can talk about running out of time, but the Olympics don't move for anyone."
Hooker said he will continue to jump for the remainder of the European season to get some "validation for the work I have put in and how hard I have tried to change things and get things back on track", even if he felt any other competition seemed a little cheap to talk about after the Olympics.
Jumping big elsewhere now would serve little purpose other than for helping him feel he was getting himself back together, he said.
"I am immensely proud of myself. It's been very, very hard over the last year and a half. The physical side of things, the mental side of things. I have had every issue that you can imagine to overcome and I felt like my old self on the runway and that is pretty gratifying."
Hooker stayed out on the track after he was eliminated, watching until the end of the competiton, and so was there on the inside of the track for the running of the 1500m final in which his girlfriend Ekaterina Kostetskaya of Russia was competing.
"I am more gutted for Kata [she finished ninth] than myself tonight," he said.

A FORMER nurse who was diagnosed with throat cancer only two days after retiring has vowed not to live her life under a "cancer cloud" as she prepares to take part in the fifth annual York 10k.
Phyl Underwood left her 35-year nursing career in July and took voluntary redundancy from Bootham Park Hospital – full of plans for her future.
When two days later she was told by doctors she had thyroid cancer, Phyl, 52, said she felt "utter disbelief".
"I was so shocked. It was a mixed bag of emotions. I didn't know what I was more scared of – cancer or being retired. I was looking to my future then this. I felt utter disbelief." Two gruelling operations and intensive radio iodine treatment followed and Phyl, of Fulford, has now been told her prognosis is positive.
"I have been given the all-clear for now," she said. "With thyroid cancer a lifetime of treatment follows, but I have had a full body scan and the cancer has not spread."
Phyl said it was after she was given a provisional all-clear that she decided to give herself something to aim for.
Feeling sluggish after her treatment, Phyl decided she wanted to get fit – and after hearing positive feedback from friends who took part in the 2012 Jane Tomlinson 10k – she decided to set the 2013 race as a goal.
"I thought at the very worst I could walk it," she said. " But I have joined a gym and I am really pleased with my training so far. I managed to run 2k on the treadmill so far. I was just determined not to live my life under a cancer cloud."
Phyl is set to run the ten-kilometre race in aid of St Leonard's Hospice.
Phyl now volunteers for the hospice's shop in Fulford and hopes to raise as much money as possible for the charity. She is also encouraging other would-be-runners to sign up and take part in the fifth annual Asda Foundation-sponsored event.
"Just get up and do it," she said. "It is a fantastic event. It doesn't matter if you walk or run – it is a great event to be part of."
The event starts at 9.30am Sunday, August 4, at York Racecourse. You can enter online at forallevents.co.uk/run-for-all

Knitalong: Celebrating the Tradition of Knitting Together
The internet is an interesting thing. I have friends I've never met in person and real life friends who I only talk to through it. It's great to see a book that is all about an old world craft (knitting) and connecting it to a digital age. This book has some of the best shared knitting projects I've seen. You can, if you feel ambitious do them all by yourself, or you can make them a project like the author did. And she got pieces from all over the world.

Krysten Ritter + More Get in the Halloween Spirit With Orange + Black Ensembles!
Halloween is just around the corner! From Krysten Ritter to Leighton Meester, we've rounded up 12 celebs in festive orange and black ensembles. Boo!
-Lucia Peters
With Halloween just around the corner, we're knee-deep in all things orange, black, and spooky! We're busily planning out our costumes for this year; don't worry if you're not, though, because even if you don't buy into the whole costume thing, you can still dress up for Halloween—AND look super stylish while you're at it! These 12 stars, including Krysten Ritter, Padma Lakshmi, Olivia Wilde and more, know how to rock the orange and black look right. So why not take a leaf or two out of their (look)books (see what we did there?) and get festive for the season?
Happy almost-Halloween!
1. Padma Lakshmi
Doesn't orange make Padma look positively radiant? We wish we could pull off the color that well!

2. Brooke Burke
Sorry, we mean Brooke Burke Charvet—she's a married woman now! The bright solids of Brooke's orange bag and shoes compliment her patterned black-and-white ensemble wonderfully. It does make us a little dizzy if we look at it too long, though!
3. Leighton Meester
Of COURSE Blair Waldorf would have the autumnal color trend down pat! Some of Leighton's wardrobe pieces for the current season of Gossip Girl include this fabulous Jason Wu dress. The aqua flip flops are a little bit of an odd touch, but whatever, we'll roll with it.
Up next: Dakota Fanning rocks tangerine tango and more!

400-450W PSU Roundupby Christoph Katzer on 11/6/2007 4:00 AM EST

opterondo - Sunday, November 18, 2007 - linkYou all do understand that a 1000w PSU doesn't use 1000w right?
For instance you hook up 333w peak load worth of components to it it will use ~333w.
The only reason to buy a smaller capacity PSU is up front price and possibly better AC-DC conversion efficiency (like maybe 70% instead of 60%) Reply
opterondo - Sunday, November 18, 2007 - linkGood thing they didn't review any of the COOLMAX PSUs cause they are fairly priced and out perform most any in this article.
COOLMAX CX-400B ATX v2.01
mindless1 - Thursday, November 15, 2007 - linkMonths ago I was almost given a vacation in the forums because of shills and naive owners that wouldn't accept my negative comments about Ultra V-Series. I feel a bit vindicated and yet the review didn't even touch in it's primary weakness, poor capacitors leading to poor lifespan even in a system it would be suited to run in.
I do have to disagree about one aspect of the review in that the Ultra does have PFC just not active or APFC, and an "old" passive PFC design is not a big deal, a PSU can run fine w/o AFPC and historically there were plenty of decent, not just cheap, PSU with passive PFC evidenced by the input voltage selection switch.
Also in the reviews, please mention the fans' make model and bearing(s) type as they are also weak links when cheap sleeve-bearing types are used. Reply

Christoph Katzer - Thursday, November 15, 2007 - linkOh yep thanks. Now it's working. Reply
grantschoep - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - linkLow end power supplies?
I want to to know who the heck needs a 500+ watt power supply that isn't running some crazy dual SLI setup. I really wish power supply makers would focus on quite and very stable/clean voltages.
I wish companies would really focus on very high quality low end systems. 98% of us don't need a 500+ watt power supply. 90% of us don't need a motherboard with as much crap as they tack on(2 1gig network ports for example)
As an electrical engineer, 1 US dollar extra.... could by much better caps and the like.
Heck as a further annoyance, when company A has a PSU fan that is better/quiter than another, why go whit the lesser
I really wish that companies would focus on this. I don't need a 1 KW beast. I want a good, high quality ~450 watt supply that is nice and quite.
erple2 - Thursday, November 08, 2007 - linkI am a bit saddened by the (IMO) relatively unimportant temperature of the heatsinks, or sound ouput. IMO, the single most important measurement of the usefulness of a power supply is, in fact, it's ability to supply power.
I would equate evaluating it's value on thermal and acoustic characteristics to evaluating the superiority of a GFX card on it's thermal characteristics. For that effect, my old Matrox Millenium card destroys an 8800GTX.
Seriously, I'd really like to see much more in-depth analysis and evaluation on the stability of the power generation, the cleanliness of the signal, the resistance to sagging based on varying the power requirements, etc.
I understand that acoustics and thermals are important, but they're really secondary to the actual performance of the power generation. If you're overly concerned with the loudness of a power supply, or how hot it gets, instead of the actual performance of the power supply, then maybe you shouldn't be using a computer.. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Friday, November 09, 2007 - linkDid you just read the comparison or? Reply
zeroidea - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkThe Antec PS featured in this article is currently on sale at staples.com for $30.

SilthDraeth - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkI know it falls outside of the 450Watt max, but it is still below the 500 watt barrier. I just bought the psu for a midrange system I built my mom, I know it works well, but I don't have the ability to test everything.
One can wish right? Reply
Noya - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkIf you look around (buy.com), the Corsair 450vx can be had from $51-61 pretty regularly, and at that price it's untouchable. I must say I've had one for about two months and haven't had any problems with it. Reply
smthmlk - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkCan we have a full list of caps in each unit? Noting the primaries is nice, but what about the others? Thanks. Reply
Talcite - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkThanks for finally putting up O-scope readings, it's quite nice to see them. One thing I'm concerned about though is the lack of explication or analysis.
For example, is the entire o-scope range 200mV in the 12v readings or is it one division? Also, there's a number of strange spikes in all the o-scope readings. I'm pretty familiar with the 450VX o-scope readings (mostly from other sites) and I haven't noticed any spikes of that nature in their readings. It probably isn't, but is the equipment faulty?
Thanks for putting the readings up anyways though, they're a nice addition. Reply
Super Nade - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkThose strange spikes are probe noise. If the probe is coupled incorrectly, you will see this artifact. This cold be due to any number of factors like EMI for instance. Following the ATX guideline on using 0.1 uF output coupling caps will minimize this to a great extent. Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkYou have to look at the sampling time on the readings to compare between sites. Different sampling times will make the traces appear a bit different. Reply
phaxmohdem - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkI just recently built a rig for a buddy using a Thermaltake PurePower (or ToughPower.. can't remember) 480W Unit and it works like a champ powering a Core2 Quad Q6600 CPU, 2GB RAM, 2HDD's, two Optical Drives, 8600GT, TV Tuner and a few fans. (Wish I knew about the Corsair PSU when I spec'd that system out).
But yeah, Unfortunately most people equate Watts to overall quality.... not unlike the MHz war of days gone by. Power supplies are one of the hardest components to convince people to spend extra on for some reason. FFS, electricity is kind of the basis of the whole dam computer!
Eventually it ends up as "Oh well. Go ahead and get that 600W $30 power supply and let me know how that goes for ya. I could use a good laugh, and don't say I didn't warn you." Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkMaybe Anandtech should go ahead and list the weight of each PSU. That has long been used as an estimate of quality. Reply
jonnyGURU - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkNot any more. Topologies have changed to the point where you can have very light quality units and very heavy crap. Weight is NOT a factor. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkYup and before the use of very bulky heatsinks made the power supplies heavier. Today the components are better and the heatsinks are getting smaller again (Seasonic and FSP standard design for example). Reply
Pale Rider - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkIt's easily the best of the "lower" power choices. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkWe already reviewed the Seasonic 330W and 500W, and given that Seasonic is the ODM of the Corsair and Antec units... except while Corsair is basically identical to the Seasonic model, Antec messed around with the fan to cut costs or something. 430W S12II and 450VX are pretty much the same PSU. Reply
Modular - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkPage 2: "360W combined equates to 15A when both are "fully" loaded."
-Should read 30A fully loaded.
Page 5: "The original design used two 17A 12V rails (as does the Earthwatts)"
-Per this review http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=51&...">http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=51&... the Earthwatts line isn't really 2 12v rails either. No biggie, but just wanted to clarify.
The Ultra is listed as a V-Series when it's actually the XVS, which is basically a step above the V-Series in that it has the flex cables and is modular.
Overall this was a pretty informative review. I'm glad that you included heat sink temps and fan noise, and it's really good to see the ripple included.
drebo - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkIn the retail computer sales business, I don't consider a $60 430W power supply to be a "Budget" power supply. That's more of a midrange, and is generally overkill for most of the computers sold. Even the Ultra is too expensive to bother with for most of my customers.
I'd like to see a true budget roundup. Powersupplies in the $20-30 range. Like those from Athenatech or Maxtop(Q-Max) or even the lower-end Thermaltakes. I realize that they're going to be pretty crappy results, but I think it's important to see, comparitively, how they do. If it were up to me, all of my customers would be using Antec EarthWatts power supplies, but they don't understand why the extra money is necessary. With information like this, it would be far easier to convince them to spend the extra $20. Reply
magreen - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkI second that call for lower cost PSU roundups. I was under the impression that FSP makes decent enough PSUs. Can you include reviews of their 350W, 400W and 450W models? They won't have active PFC, but let's be honest, most users don't care at all about that. Reply
Iger - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - link+1 actually. I'd really like to understand what kind of performance can one expect from a low-end psu. Then again, Ultra probably answers the question, at least vaguely. I just wish we'd have a bigger choise of psus in europe... And better prices <sigh> Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkNo choice in Europe? Which country are you living in? Most shops are sending the stuff all around Europe already and you'll probably find even more in Ebay.
The problem with a low end PSU roundup is that I am living in Europe as well and it will not be easy to convince a company to send me their stuff when the shipping is triple the cost of the actual product. But let us find a way and in the beginning of next year we will see what we can do... Reply
xsilver - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkAlso, has it been investigated whether there are differences between varying PSU's coming off the assembly line?
I would like to think that the high end manufacturers could produce identical products but Im not so sure the QC of the cheapo PSU's will give u the same PSU every time. eg. some cheap psu's seem to live on through torrid abuse and yet some just die only after 1 month of use. Reply
Super Nade - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkHi,
Why did you guys cut down on the internal component analysis? Hate to see a single picture and a few cursory words about the internal architecture. Load testing aside, I find everything else a bit boring. You had a nice thing going looking at the components, why cull it? If you decided to shorten the reviews, you could have trimmed the part about acoustics. ;)

OCForums Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkYep, otherwise it's just getting too long and I thought actually nobody is too interested in that analyses anyway. Let me work something out for the next ones...
Ripple is also coming today, I updated the 1200-1300 roundup already. Reply
Super Nade - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkGood to know! I understand that it is going to take a considerable amount of work at the outset, to do a bit of design analysis, but once you have the popular topologies employed figured out it should be a lot less work.
The length of the review is unimportant if it makes an interesting read. (Hypothetical example) Having 10 pages on the fans employed is going to be be boring. Since you have a wide audience with varying degree of technical appetite, the length of the review should not matter if the content is arranged appropriately.
Best wishes,
S-N Reply
floffe - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkWhen referring to the 8800GT article, it'd be nice to point out that those 327W from the wall was with SLI. A single card didn't get much over 200W, so even the Ultra should be able to run that, however horrible it otherwise is a a PSU.
As for the market, I just wish someone would produce a high quality 300W modular PSU. That'd be plenty for my needs. Reply
xsilver - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkWould you be ok if they charged you the same as a 400w PSU? because for the manufacturers, they're not going to the trouble of making another PSU that costs them almost exactly the same to make.
(its like asking for a car with only 15hp because thats all u need ;) Reply
jonnyGURU - Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - linkExactly. The cost difference at that level is rarely more than a $1. So if it costs me $30 to build a 400W, and $29 to build a 350W, etc. why would I bother? Reply
Souka - Wednesday, November 07, 2007 - linkmaybe because some people "think" a 350w power supply consumes 50w less than a 400w power supply...

It also presents a view of Iranian rural life seldom seen by Westerners. Though the Iranian government sponsored the film, they banned it for the above reasons. Bashu is a 10-year-old boy living in war-torn southern Iran. During an Iraqi attack on his village his mother ends up burning to death when her veil catches fire, and his father disappears through a hole that suddenly appears beneath his prayer rug at home. Bashu witnesses the deaths and is so terrified that he leaves his ravaged village and sneaks aboard a northbound truck. Exhausted, he falls asleep and doesn't wake until the truck stops briefly in a northern village. The boy is astounded by the cool green of the place. Suddenly an explosion from a nearby construction site rocks the ground. Thinking the place is being bombed, the lad heads for the forest as the truck rushes off. Bashu wanders about and ends up asleep in a lean-to beside a rice paddy that belongs to a young mother, Nai, who raises her two kids alone while her husband is off looking for employment. At first she tries to get him off her property but then changes her mind and quietly (northern Iranians speak a different language from their southern counterparts, but both share the same writing system) begins to help him. She thinks the help is only temporary and that his parents will soon arrive to get him. He thinks she is adopting him. Bashu proves to be a good, helpful boy. Unfortunately, the townsfolk dislike him because he looks and acts so differently. Good Nai tries to protect him from their prejudice, but it is difficult. Her husband compounds matters when, in a letter, he insists that Bashu leave. Meanwhile the boy is beaten up by the local children and at this point his future is uncertain. Fortunately, Nai's husband returns and decides that Bashu does indeed have a place in their little family. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

timtana spice muffins photo by vsimon
Please let me introduce you to timtana, a new gluten free whole grain flour. It is dark and handsome. A flour with substance.
Montana Gluten Free Processors are working with the Celiac Sprue Association, who called for volunteers to develop recipes for timtana flour. I like to try new foods and answered the call. They sent me a free #3 bag of timtana flour to work with.
Timtana flour is ground from a perennial grain, the plants grow every year without needing to be planted each spring. Most other flours are from annual grains.
High protein
Timtana has more protein than amaranth, buckwheat, oat, millet, quinoa, rice, sorghum, and teff flours. Timtana is 5 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. The other flours are 3 or 4 grams. Refined starches, such as tapioca or corn, have zero protein.
High fiber
Timtana flour also has more fiber than the above gluten free flours, 5 grams per 1/4 cup. Compare that with 1 to 4 grams for other flours. Refined starches have zero fiber too.
Calcium and iron
Yep, timtana has them. Comparable to amaranth and teff flours. Refined starches? Zero again.
Easy to use? Too soon to tell.
I am batting .500 using timtana. The spice muffins worked great the first time. Pancakes did not, those need more work.
3 Giveaways, you may get to try it too.
Montana Gluten Free Processors want more people to play with timtana. So they are giving 3 lucky folks each a free #3 bag of flour.
Simply comment below by Wednesday, January 6. Winners will selected by random generator and announced Thursday, January 7.
Dedicated gluten free producers.
I always like to know the farm to table story. From the Montana Gluten Free Producers website.
Our products are manufactured in a dedicated state of the art gluten free facility that only processes and packages our own gluten free products. The story however doesn't begin there, to be truly gluten free you must start in the field. Montana Gluten Free Processors works directly with traditional farmers to grow our private seed stock on ground with at least 4 years history of no gluten grains being produced on the field. Only production from our proven healthy seed stock is acceptable for Montana Gluten Free production. Crops are planted, fields are inspected, and harvested, storage and transportation equipment is dedicated and inspected to insure purity and quality. We watch over our product from the field to the package to be certain that the product in our package is the best all natural gluten free product food you can buy.
Today I share my success. What I call Timtana Spice Muffins originated as pumpkin walnut muffins in Gourmet November 1997.
We offered our first gluten free client pumpkin muffins, made with Bob's Red Mill gluten free blend flour. She said, repeatedly, we should open a gluten free bakery. Starting with those muffins.
I like to take a good recipe and make it better. Really, I love when that happens.
Timtana flour improves the nutrition and changes the flavor a bit. The pumpkin flavor disappears. Sweet spice, the flavor and the fragrance, now predominate. So I changed simply the name. 🙂
Simplify if you like.
Admittedly, this is along list of ingredients. You might omit the dates and walnuts, but I wouldn't.
And you can substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice if you do not like to measure out 4 different spices.
