Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen the promised land of shooting ranges. I was there all day yesterday with the guys from Tac-Con, and I'm smitten. Imagine for a second, tactical bays out to 100 yards as far as the eye can see. Pistol bays that stretch still further. A 1000-yard range with wind flags each 100 yards along the way. Trap. Skeet. And even sporting clays. Folks, I give you . . .
The Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix, AZ. Holy moly y'all. This is one of the largest publicly operated ranges in the country. And yes, the emphasis is important. The taxpayer dollar funds this mecca in the desert. I'll let their main page give you the lowdown:
Founded in 1957, the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, formerly the Black Canyon Shooting Range, is one of the largest publicly operated shooting facilities in the country.
Our world-class shooting range is a City of Phoenix Point of Pride. It has received a Five Star rating from the National Association of Shooting Ranges. This means that it is the best of the best at providing a quality recreation experience and is the first government facility to receive this designation.
Located on 1650 acres in north Phoenix, the facility averages more than 120,000 shooters per year. The facility offers are wide array of target shooting opportunities. This shooters' paradise is home to a number of regional and national class competitions and other major events.
Ben Avery Shooting Facility is funded by the revenues generated by user fees and federal dollars appropriated through the Pittman-Robertson Act.
With extensive facilities, the Ben Avery Shooting Facility offers a fun and safe environment for all of your shooting needs. Men, women and children ages 5 and older of all experience levels are welcome. Trained safety officers are on the firing line at all times to oversee safety and to offer informal coaching when needed.
This range has it all. Long range, short range, and tactical bays. There's an archery range along with clay shooting of all types. There's also a campground for shooters looking to maximize their time at the range and even an equestrian area for those practicing their riding and shooting disciplines. All this for the princely sum of $7 per day. I'm simply stunned at how good Arizonans have it. And yes, this Texan is totally jealous.
I'm mostly impressed with how well-kept the place is. Obviously, there's not a lot of grass growing out here, but the gravel bays are all immaculately swept for trash, the roads are super-clean, and all the facilities seem to be in top shape. Now I'll admit that I'm here on Tac-Con's time and they seem to have made an arrangement with the Ben Avery folks so we could have a private bay. I don't know what being a regular Joe at this range is like, so if you've been here, please weigh in below in the comments and let us know what your experience has been. Also, I'm jealous. Did I mention that?

I've visited for cowboy action shoots and a few Saturday morning trips with the family. It's exactly as Tyler described: top notch facilities, lots of space, and clean. Even with that many lanes open, it can get busy during the shooting rush hour; weekends and Friday afternoons. Their cowboy action props are a lot of fun and relatively intricate.
Seems you have discovered our secret in the desert! Glad u enjoyed & appreciated Ben Avery – I have been shooting there for 20+ years & have never had a bad experience & they do maintain it nicely year round. If you get chance grab a buddy & shotguns and shoot the clay course! Has I believe 40 diff station challenges & pretty cheap too. Just put money on card & swipe at each station – buddy can operate the remote. The bow course trail is fun too. Àlso u are only minutes away from lake pleasant Marina.
Don't forget – cheap shotgun rentals for the clays sports. Truly an accessible range for nearly everyone!
I need to move near this wonder of the world. Seriously.
LC – You are welcome to my Sonoran anytime! Also a few miles away from Ben Avery is COWTOWN – another range with active old west city and long range sniper/rifle shooting from hilltop that is Awesome as well
Be careful picking out your house. The Phoenix area has surprisingly few shooting ranges given that it's, y'know, ARIZONA.
I grew up in one of the most anti-gun states in the Union, and there were three shooting ranges within a 15 minute drive of my house. Two of them could have been walking distance had I been so motivated.
I live in the greater Phoenix area and I have one indoor range (i.e. $$$) about 15 minutes from my house, with another about 25 minutes away. The closest outdoor range (max 200 yards for paper, 300 yards for the gong) is 40 minutes from my house. And getting to the desert to shoot is a good hour.
Ben Avery is a good 'un, for sure. But…it's over an hour from my house.
So like I said, if you move here, be careful picking out your residence if shooting range access is important to you.
John – South Mountain? or are you aware of C2 Tactical off I10 and Warner (their orig range is in Mesa and still operational but small) – been open just over a year – excellent facility. Far East valley is Red mountain range. Not sure where you are in Greater Phoenix.
Between the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club, Rio, and Ben Avery there's a range closer to an hour from your house. Combine that with a zillion indoor ranges and I'm not sure what more you could ask for in a huge metropolitan city.
From where would you be moving? If it's CA, NY, NJ or WI, please renounce your former state at the border and refrain from speaking about how the (blank) here in AZ just doesn't compare with the (blank) you had back in (old state). Please refrain from electing politicians like those from your former state. Other than that, welcome.
Amen to that.
My wife and I moved to AZ from CT, and never looked back. Well, except for weddings and funerals. My wife, who grew up very liberal, is even starting to say things like, "The problem is that we're not keeping a good watch on our border." and, "I would love it if those NYC safety nazis would just mind their own business."
Great state to live in.
Double AMEN to that!
We go every other Wednesday, staff is great and site is clean.
7 bucks a day? Wow
The price is what amazes me most. Most Texas ranges have a fraction of the facilities, yet they charge as if they were all like Ben Avery. Want to shoot pistol? pay. Want to shoot rifle? pay again. Want to shoot some clays on one of our 3 (count em, 3!!!) rusted launchers? pay pay pay. Of course, I suppose the difference is that if you really screw your customers in a place like AZ, people can always just go find some public land in the desert to shoot on for free. Here in the great gun state, every rock and square inch of land is owned by someone. Which means we don't have much alternative, short of buying land.
My you home range since I live 15 minutes to the south. And they are always hosting some wonderful events, Winter Range , the March Outdoor Expo, trap and skeet, and the occasional idpa match.
To use one of the specialty ranges, you need to pay $50 to create a user group and have insurance (~$300/yr) among other requirements. The silhouette ranges are impressive, one has maybe 100 targets. Haven't used them, but there are some walking trails with steel targets too.
The main public range part is a bit slow–there are soooo many bays for the ROs to check there is noticeable down time between shooting periods, but they do all they can do. They provide target stands and have post holes at marked distances, so you only need your paper target. Unlike a lot of ranges, they do allow drawing from a holster at the main range.
Sumertime is a bit rough here to be outside–you need water and lots of it and have to be careful when outside. Early morning and winter are nice though. Overall, a nice place.
"Summertime a bit rough…and bring water…lots of it"…
AMEN brother. Excellent advice and thanks for the info. Weather is upon us for the season of long range indeed.
I am so glad I live a ten minute drive away from Ben Avery. Its the best place to shoot, ever.
Amen to that, I am right off New River and I-17. Ben Avery is a very nice range to live near.
Happy Valley and i17 area for me! Gonna be there today and tomorrow hehe!
I prefer Rio Salado but Ben Avery is definitely good.
I've been to Ben Avery a few times. Its a great location, about half an hour and all highway there.
I don't have any experience with the pistol ranges, but I did shoot clays quite often. Its $30 for 100 clays. (You get a card with the clays loaded electronically on there). 12g ammo is always for sale, even during the panic, for $8 a pack. Havent seen any other price yet. Assuming you buy from them, which I do, its hard to go and not spend $60. I don't know how other ranges compare. That being said, you do get to shoot skeet and trap from pretty much every angle.
I've been a couple of times, when passing through Phoenix. An awesome facility. The best part, I think, is that indeed: The State of Arizona Game and Fish Department runs it. Tax dollars at work. Magnificent.
From the range rules page: "Any firearms chambered in .50 BMG, or any round derived from .50 BMG, or producing kinetic force on par with .50 BMG is strictly prohibited"
Nice to see NFA is allowed though.
50BMG and 416 Barret are allowed on the 1000 yard range and I believe the benchrest range, but I would have to double check on that. Only issue there is you need to be a part of a group to rent those ranges out, but if you try you can shoot 50BMG there.
I live about 160 miles south of the Ben Avery Range, and I've driven up there on a number of occasions. The facilities are first class, the rates are a bargain and the level of range supervision is professional without being oppressive. I wish we had a comparable facility here in Pima County.
Have you been to the range by the Pima fairgrounds? While not even close to the scale of Ben Avery, they are slowly expanding and I've never had any problems with the staff there.
Escaped from Phoenix 6 years ago. Ben Avery is one of the few things I truly miss — nothing up here even comes close.
I live in the east valley so I have a "home" indoor range 5 minutes away. I hit Ben Avery on average once a month, but it's starting to win me over. I find myself thinking about going there more often now that it's starting to cool off. It's a beautiful area in the desert.
Glad you enjoyed your trip Tyler.
i love arkansas, where i live, but when it comes to ranges like that, they are non-existent in arkansas. cutting down all the trees itself would cost more than the actual range.
I must be tired. I swore that said, "Ban Every Shooting Complex". Doubles kill, lol.
This is my home range. Be careful. It's like when on vacation and you think you've found your paradise. (As if you can accurately evaluate a place after a day or a week.) Reality is a bit different. It can be a very good experience or a very poor one, depending on seasons, days of the week, etc.
Other than the main range, all the other ranges are no longer open for general public use. This horrible change has been in effect for a few years now, and it sucks. Thank you, litigious Americans. You need to be part of an organized group, be scheduled months in advance (there is way more demand than facilities in the Phoenix metro area), have incredible amounts of liability insurance registered with Ben Avery, have approved safety officials that you must provide on hand for your shoots, and the list of regs goes on and on.
Summertime shooting? That's laughable for serious shooters, unless you are only interested in pistol range distance first thing in the morning. Temperatures start at 90 and reach 120+ at Ben Avery in summer. Forget weekends during decent weather months (Nov-April). However, if you can take a weekday off (except Monday, when BA is always closed), you can get some nice shooting in.
Be aware, the shooting sessions on the main range can be good to disappointing, depending on the crowd and how many volunteer range "officials" are on site any given day. There is often more waiting than shooting on weekends. There is definitely an aggravation factor, as there are always characters who need serious instruction on safe gun handling, etc. Also, you should not be surprised to find other shooters targeting your bullseye if you place it past the 25-yard marker. Basically, this is a big-city range full of big-city people. In other words, expect a bit of everything, from your local pro-Second Amendment regulars to your undesirables.
A point of clarification: The public doesn't support this range with their general taxes. This is funded by sportsman's taxes, and Ben Avery is run by our state game and fish department.
I'll be heading there tomorrow morning as a matter of fact ?
22 minute drive, and a guaranteed good experience. These folks do it right out there. I always feel safe, and everyone is friendly!

Bulls are a troublesome group of cattle to manage, says Jeremy Martin, PhD, Great Plains Livestock Consulting Inc., Eagle, Neb. They are generally in the way, causing problems or are somewhere they shouldn't be. "However, they are a significant investment and it is important that investment provides you with the greatest return possible," Martin says. The problem is that there just isn't that much research available on young bull nutrition.
Should you creep-feed bull calves?
Bull calves, like all calves, need timely, high-quality colostrum at birth which is critical to future health and performance. Creep feeding then becomes an option based on cowherd goals, forage type and availability and marketing. "Bulls can be started on creep feed immediately but it becomes more difficult to discern the productivity of a cow because creep feed intake will vary among calves," Martin explains. In situations where forage quality is poor late in the grazing season, creep feeding is a management tool to keep bull calves growing, and can be a weaning management tool.
If creep-fed, bull calves should be fed low-starch, high-protein creep feed, ideally a dried distiller's grains or gluten-based creep including an intake limiter to get more efficient gain. It's important that the creep feed is designed to promote growth, but is not fattening. Also, Martin notes, it is probably wise to avoid creep-feeding future replacement heifers to ensure they do not deposit fat in their udders as calves which will reduce their future milk production.
The skinny on overfat young bulls
Martin says ultrasound data on yearling bulls is widely available and allows buyers to evaluate fat thickness. Groups of yearling bulls should average between 0.15" and 0.30" of backfat, depending on age at scanning, biological type and environmental factors.
Low-starch rations containing high energy byproduct feeds in combination with high levels of roughage allow bulls to gain 3 lb/day or more, without depositing excess fat. Martin likes to see yearling bulls with a body condition score (BCS) of 6–6.5 at turnout. "I think a BCS of 6 is ideal," he says. "In the second or third breeding season, it should be a 5.5–6."
If young bulls are too fat before the breeding season, Martin says it's a problem to get them "hardened up", or conditioned for breeding season. "Long-term, overfat bulls tend to lose weight rapidly when breeding season begins and then quit breeding before the breeding season is over. They also may be more likely to have experienced acidosis because of the energy level of the diet they received; if they did experience acidosis at some point during development they, are more likely to have long-term foot soundness issues."
There isn't a lot of research on the role of mineral nutrition of bulls specifically, but research conducted by Arthington and colleagues (1995) proved the importance of zinc in semen quality of young bulls. Martin notes as always, macromineral trace minerals and vitamin concentrations should meet NRC requirements, and at least in the case of zinc, exceed them. Feeding a percentage of the trace minerals from an organic source is advised. Deficiencies are not only possible but likely without supplementation. "A comprehensive trace mineral and vitamin package is cheap insurance compared to subpar semen test results," he states. "The bottom line is that developing bulls should receive a complete vitamin/mineral supplement and should not be fed to the point they experience acidosis or bloat, or deposit fat in the scrotum."
First breeding season
It's difficult to manage nutrition of the young bull after turnout with the cows, but there are some things that can be done to maximize the breeding season. Bulls should be transitioned slowly to a roughage diet and introduced to pasture at least 10 days before being turned in with the cows.
Martin says most bulls will lose some weight during breeding simply due to the miles they cover in the breeding process. If possible, put yearling bulls in pastures with less area to cover, to limit the amount of weight lost. Make sure they have access to salt and mineral at all times during the breeding season.
"In my opinion, the most important thing is pulling young bulls out of cows in a timely fashion," Martin suggests. "Many young bulls remain with cows long after the cows are bred, but most young bulls are not smart enough to quit chasing cows and continue to lose weight. After 45–60 days with cows, get yearling bulls out of the cowherd."
Once young bulls are pulled out of the cowherd, don't neglect them as they start approaching winter. Yearling bulls in particular need to keep growing after they are pulled from breeding pastures. Protein and energy supplementation is dependent on forage quality. "Ideally, yearling bulls would be fed to gain 1.5–2 pound/day through that first winter, and/or managed to a BCS of 6 prior to their second breeding season," Martin says.
If yearling bulls don't continue to grow and develop as they should, you can try to play catch up in their second breeding season, but Martin says it takes less feed to keep them in shape than to try and catch them up. In addition, fertility as a 2-year old can be compromised if bulls are underfed after their first breeding season, particularly if they are severely underfed. "Severe undernutrition can also stunt a bull's growth, probably reducing their mature size and thus reducing their eventual salvage value," he says.

This new version has the following features compared to the first version of the HOME family: a new chemical structure that managed to exceed the contact angle of water repulsion over the 100 ° limit. Significantly improved adhesion, excellent resistance to scale formation and sedimentation.
Nanotechnological hydrophobic protection. On the surface of the glass, it reduces the adhesion of dirt and repels water. After application, it has a lifetime of up to one year. The nanoparticles (billionths of a meter) contained in this product create an invisible transparent layer on the surface of the glass. It is a kind of hard shield that penetrates the pores of the glass and smoothes its surface. As a result, dirt can not get into the pores because the treated surface does not allow good adhesion. In addition, the Nano Protect Glass treated surface gets higher hardness and the flying objects slightly bounce off the nano-screen to avoid long scratches and scratches. Organic residues (eg bird droppings) do not damage the treated glass surface. This hydrophobic agent works on the principle of lotus effect. When contacted with water, water drops from the surface are strongly repelled by gravity or air flow. Dripping water removes particles of dirt from the surface of the glass that had previously been adhered there. In the rain, therefore, the self-cleaning effect of the glass occurs.
The total area to which protection is sufficient is 30 m2.
Shake well before use! Do not apply in direct sunlight or in the rain! Apply only to a very clean and grease-free surface that is scalded, rinsed with warm water and dried! The glass surface must be degreased with Nano Clear Glass. Apply Nano Protect Glass to the surface of the glass using a non-absorbent application cloth. Leave for 5 minutes to dry. After this time, we polish the surface to a high gloss with a polishing cloth. It is important to polish the glass at an interval of 5 - 10 minutes. Polishing before and after the specified time is inappropriate. In the case of splashing problems, the glass can be lightly sprayed with Nano Clear Glass and polish it with a dry polishing cloth. It should be borne in mind that the glass protection product is scarred considerably worse than the other Piccatc Policies. However, the results are uncompromising and the final features are definitely worth it. If Nano Clear Glass is used to aid in blurring, there is no need to worry about the deterioration of the resulting properties.
After 90 minutes, the surface may be exposed to direct sunlight, water, and frost to -5 ° C when it is fully cured. For perfect curing, it is not advisable to expose the surface for extreme weather conditions (torrential rain, temperatures below -5 ° C or above 30 ° C) for at least 12 hours.
The optimal polishing effect and hardness occurs after 12 hours when the nanoparticles settle on the surface to form a shield (crystalline grid). When setting at low temperatures, the final cure time is slightly longer.
In the event of poor surface preparation, it may reduce performance, reduce functionality or reduce the life of the product. For perfect preparation, it is appropriate to polish the glass with a dry, clean cloth (for example, when dried water drops on the glass). Applying and then polishing the polish, you would have "stained" them in the politra and then it would be very difficult to get rid of them. On the glass, these undesirable effects would be particularly unpleasant. Do not apply in direct sunlight!
Application Simplification Tip: Long-term experience and feedback brings us with recommendations on how to apply these shields correctly and effortlessly. Everything is done as in the operating instructions. For spraying only, it is advisable to apply (spraying) lightly onto the Nano Clear Glass cloth and then lightly scatter the surface to a high gloss that is slightly surface-dyed. Do not push on the cloth, it is better to move the cloth 4 times a lot easier than once. It could be that with a heavy pressure on the cloth when scrubbing, you could still polish softly from the surface, and its functionality could be worse. In addition, you are significantly less upset. All this and then let the hardened polish harden as directed.

Pregnancy Help Line Saves Lives
March 08, 2012 - 1:02 PST
COLUMBUS, OH (March 8, 2012) - Heartbeat International's Option Line reaches and rescues as many lives as possible by connecting women who face unexpected pregnancies with the pregnancy help organization that can meet their needs.
Focusing on maternal health and child well-being, Heartbeat International and our affiliates renew communities for life by helping each person to understand his/her own inherent worth, by restoring dignity to women, and by helping each mom to recognize the inestimable value of the child in her womb.
The visionary founders of Heartbeat International, Dr. John F. Hillabrand and Lore Maier, made it our mission to track every haven of pregnancy support around the globe and to publish the Heartbeat International Worldwide Directory™, a list of resources for women facing untimely pregnancies. For 40 years, our goal has been to connect women with the help they need to welcome new life.
In 2001, for the first time, Heartbeat made the Directory available online to help women connect with the emotional support and practical assistance they needed to sustain a healthy pregnancy.
In 2002, we founded Option Line as a joint venture with Care Net.
Now, Option Line is solely a program of Heartbeat International and has a new phone number, 1-800-712-HELP, where bilingual consultants are available 24/7/365 to connect callers to the closest pregnancy help organization. Through our state-of-the-art locator system, we connect those in need to a network of more than 1,800 pregnancy help organizations, including pregnancy centers, life-affirming medical clinics, non-profit adoption agencies, maternity homes, and abortion recovery groups.
The Option Line contact center has grown to handle more than 200,000 contacts (phone calls, emails, instant messages, and chats) each year. Since answering that first call in January 2003, Heartbeat's Option Line has served more than 1.5 million women, men, and youth across the U.S. and Canada.
Often we hear from pregnancy center directors and clients who want to share the life-changing power of Option Line. Here's one such note from a client care director at an affiliate in Florida:
"Carrie (name changed) had called the Option Line one day in August after being at the abortion clinic just a few hours before. The abortion clinic told her that at 20 weeks she was too far along to abort in this county and gave her referrals to go to another county. She started looking on the internet for more information about abortion and she found the number for Option Line. She was connected to us to talk about all her options. She said that, though she wasn't particularly religious, she prayed on her way here for God to give her direction about what to do.
When I talked to her and told her we were a Christian organization and that we believe that God did indeed direct her steps here to hear the truth, she sobbed uncontrollably. She had a sonogram at the abortion clinic but was told she had the option not to see the images and she chose not to look. We performed an ultrasound for her here and when she saw the images of her baby moving around she was mesmerized and fell in love with her child. The next day when we followed up with her she thanked us and said, "I was getting ready to make the biggest mistake of my life! I'm so glad I found you guys."
Please take a few minutes now to update your contacts list in your cell phone, as well as church bulletins or other places where you have promoted Heartbeat's Option Line. Heartbeat's brand new number, 1-800-712-4357 [HELP], is the toll-free number that saves lives one heart at a time.
We know that nothing can take the place of the one-on-one, practical support offered by life-honoring pregnancy help organizations. That is why Heartbeat's Option Line is so vital. The support of thousands of financial partners is what keeps pregnancy assistance flowing at Heartbeat's Option Line. Please visit HeartbeatInternational.org/olhelp to pledge your support for this vital service.
Heartbeat International

This is my second installment of 'Make me Love Lemon Desserts.' I just made that up. This is me trying to use the rest of the free bag of lemons from my Lemon Custard Cakes with Herbs de Provence Glaze. You have to check these lemons out. They are literally the saddest lemons ever. No wonder Giant Eagle is desperately trying to pawn them off on the unsuspecting public. That's cool though. I will make them shine again!
I am also putting this post together as a second entry to Our Growing Edge. It's an opportunity for food bloggers to try new things within a set theme and share them twice per month. This month's Holiday Baking-themed event is hosted by Lauren from Sweet and Southern Lifestyle.
I have little practice when it comes to working with fresh lemons and I wondered if other people could use some pointers, too. When zesting a lemon you can use a simple box grater or a fancy microplane grater. You want to remove just the shiny, yellow outside of your (rinsed!) lemon but leave the white pith or layer just underneath the skin. You can compare a properly zested lemon (left) to one where I got the pith (right) below. To juice a lemon you can use a store-bought juicer or just stab it with a fork a few times. As you squeeze the lemon, stab and twist the pulp of the lemon with your fork,as pictured below. Always strain fresh lemon juice with a fine wire sieve to remove the seeds and pulp.
This recipe uses another interesting spice blend from a foreign land, garam masala, which literally means hot mixture of spices. It's used in traditional Indian cooking. The exact mix may vary from place to place and depending on personal taste. However, it typically contains peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, mace or nutmeg, cardamom pods, cumin seeds and bay leaves. The ingredients are toasted and then ground to a fine powder. It has a unique taste. There is definitely a savory, spicy kick to it but the nutmeg and cinnamon give it a sweetness, as well. Garam masala can be purchased at specialty food stores but there is a recipe on Epicurious, if you'd rather to make your own. For some more ideas on how to use this unique blend check WiseBread.
This sweet-spicy quick bread with a glossy, melt-in-your-mouth icing is my new favorite flavor blend. I think I may have eaten half the loaf already. But, if you find this isn't the mix for you, I've included a few variations below the main recipe. Make it sweeter, make it spicier, make it chunkier. Make it all three! Actually, that doesn't make sense… Well, whatever! Make it your own!
Garam Masala Spiced Lemon Bread:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (You can sub all-purpose flour.)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 egg whites
1 cup vanilla soy milk (You can sub any type of milk.)
¼ cup canola oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
4 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 or 2 lemons)
Sweet Lemon Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Additional garam masala for garnish
Garam Masala Spiced Lemon Bread:
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Sift or whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and garam masala.
In separate bowl, combine egg whites, milk, oil, zest and juice.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just moistened. Lumps are fine.
Spread batter evenly into greased loaf pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
Run knife around edge of pan and remove loaf from pan.
Allow to cool completely before icing.
Sweet Lemon Icing:
Mix all ingredients until smooth.
Pierce loaf in several places with a fork.
Spread half of icing over cooled bread and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Spread remaining icing over bread.
Sprinkle with additional garam masala.
Sweeter: Add a ½ cup of white chocolate chips to the batter.
Spicier: Increase garam masala to 2 teaspoons and add 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes. Nix the lemon icing and serve slices of bread toasted with a pat of butter on top.
Chunkier: Add a ½ cup each of chopped, shelled pistachios and dried cherries or cranberries.

Flavored Butter: Cinnamon Vanilla
Recipe by Annacia
The perfect compliment to so many things. Muffins, pancakes and waffles of course but try it also on cooked carrots, sweet potatoes, in rice pudding and a bit in your coffee! You get the idea.
Top Review by CHEF GRPA
Really good and very easy to make. I add vanilla extract to it and we use it on baked potatoes. To do butter with some amazing flavor I love it any time.

 1 tsp cinnamon
 1/2 C peaches, chopped
 1/2 C bluberries, smashed
 Beat together honey, butter and vanilla for 10 minutes until light and fluffy
 Add in flavor of choice - cinnamon, peach or blueberry
 Mix until well blended and refrigerate until ready to use.

Sweet butters are delicious on breakfast foods: toast, bagels, muffins, pancakes, waffles et al. They also are delicious on crackers or biscuits for snacks or tea.
You Got Inspired to do a new recipe with this, It is absolutely over the Top!!

To infinity but not beyond
Whoever initially implemented infinite scrolling was probably well-intentioned. The fundamental idea is clever: accelerating the process of finding what you're looking for by eliminating any hurdle. No need to load a whole new page, nor to take any action at all. The browsing experience is seamless.
But also endless. The flood of results can be overwhelming. The page scrolling can drastically slow down. Retrieving your previous position can be challenging. Bookmarking is almost impossible. Keeping a sense of space (and time?) is troublesome. There's too much, too quick.
Although some of these issues can be circumvented through technical and layout tweaks, the underlying question remains to know if infinite scroll is necessary at all. Etsy dropped infinite scroll after making the wrong assumption that users wanted both more results per page and faster results. Probably the incessant flow of results prevented the user from taking any decision at all, and led him to forget what he was looking for, or why he started browsing the page in the first place.
A mobile paradigm
The infinite scroll UX paradigm has found its way in many interfaces, especially on mobile. It's probably due to users (including me) being lazy: swiping (for scrolling) is more convenient than tapping. It's a more natural, less demanding gesture.
It does makes sense for feeds (Twitter, Facebook) because they only require one page, and are meant to be consumed in one direction primarily. It's less convenient for search results though, where there's a sub-page to be accessed, and where the uncertainty to end and probablity to alter your navigation are both higher.
What about a regular pagination? Next and Previous buttons are mandatory, but displaying pages on a mobile device is less of a requirement, or should at least not be interactive.
Simplifying the flow
Some of infinite scrolling's assumptions are correct, but need to be reduced and/or altered to fit a mobile device's needs:
- speed up the browsing experience by remaining on the same page
- unburden the DOM from past results
- maintain the possibility to navigate to the previous page
- provide the user with a sense of completion by displaying a milestone (the Load next button)
- keep the user focused by requiring his action to navigate
- design a seamless experience
Demo: http://jgthms.com/lavalamp.js/lavalamp.html
When tapping the "Next" button, an animated element covers up the viewport, remains fixed on top (while the new content is loaded and the page scrolls back up), before it shrinks to match the "Previous" button and then disappear.

 Software architecture is the set of decisions the software architect makes.

  "What decisions does the software architect make?"

  The architecturally significant ones.

  "What is architecturally significant?"

  The architect decides!

"A tautology!" you protest.

Ah, think about it, I counter.

Software architecture is commonly defined in terms of components and connectors (see Definitions of Software Architecture). Components are identified and assigned responsibilities that client components interact with through "contracted" interfaces. Component interconnections specify communication and control mechanisms, and support all component interactions needed to accomplish system behavior.

In creating architectures, we address

system decomposition into components, subsystems, sub-assemblies or "chunks" (Ulrich and Eppinger, 2004), paying attention to development productivity, and flexibility or extensibility requirements associated with accommodating future functionality at a reasonable cost of change. A good decomposition satisfies the principle of loose coupling between components (or pieces), facilitated by clean interfaces, simplifying the problem by dividing it into reasonably independent pieces that can be tackled separately.

Once broken down into pieces, we need to ask:
 - Do we have all the necessary pieces? The structure must support the functionality or services required of the system. Thus, the dynamic behavior of the system must be taken into account when designing the architecture. We must also have the necessary infrastructure to support these services.
 - Do the pieces fit together? This is a matter of interface and relationships between the pieces. But good fit—that is fit that maintains system integrity—also has to do with whether the system, when composed of the pieces, has the right properties.

cross-cutting concerns. We refer to broad-scoped qualities or properties of the system as cross-cutting concerns, because their impact is diffuse or systemic. It may be a matter of preferring not to isolate these concerns because the decomposition is being driven by other concerns, or it may be that no matter how you might "slice-and-dice" the system, multiple parts are going to have to collaborate to address these cross-cutting concerns. At any rate, to effectively address cross-cutting concerns, they must be approached first at a more broad-scoped level. Many system qualities (also known as  non-functional requirements or system properties, often specified in service level agreements) are of this nature. To make the picture more complicated, the system qualities may conflict, so that trade-offs have to be made taking into account the relative priorities of the system qualities.

An architecture is not a simple flat view of the component topology, though an architecture diagram showing the components and relationships among them is a central thinking and communicating tool for the architects and the development team, and others they partner with. Our architecture needs to include:

  Meta-architecture: the architectural vision, style, principles, key communication and control mechanisms, and concepts that guide the team of architects in the creation of the architecture.

 architectural views: Just as building architectures are best envisioned in terms of a number of complementary views or models, so too are software architectures. In particular, structural views help document and communicate the architecture in terms of the components and their relationships, and are useful in assessing architectural qualities like extensibility. Behavioral views are useful in thinking through how the components interact to accomplish their assigned responsibilities and evaluating the impact of what-if scenarios on the architecture. Behavioral models are especially useful in assessing run-time qualities such as performance and security. Execution views help in evaluating physical distribution options and documenting and communicating decisions.

In creating these views, we pay attention to:

architectural patterns: structural patterns such as layers and client/server, and mechanisms such as brokers and bridges.

key architectural design principles including abstraction, separation of concerns, postponing decisions, and simplicity, and related techniques such as interface hiding and encapsulation.

design of architectural mechanisms, where mechanisms deal with the interaction of components to achieve specific system capabilities.

system decomposition principles and good interface design.

What Software Architecture Is Not

Software architecture must be distinguished from lower-level design (e.g., design of component internals and algorithms) and implementation, on the one hand, and other kinds of related architectures, on the other. For instance, software architecture is not the information (or data) model, though it uses the information model to get type information for method signatures on interfaces, for example. It is also not the architecture of the physical system, including processors, networks, and the like, on which the software will run. However, it uses this information in evaluating the impact of architectural choices on system qualities such as performance and reliability. More obviously, perhaps, it is also not the hardware architecture of a product to be manufactured. While each of these other architectures typically have their own specialists leading their design, these architectures impact and are impacted by the software architecture, and where possible, should not be designed in isolation from one another. This is the domain of system architecting. (As an interesting aside, our software architecting process has usefully been applied, without the software modeling specifics, to system, hardware and organization architecting.)

This will be the first of a couple of posts this week. The next one that I'm going to do is on NetApp Insight 2014, so keep an eye out for that. (So much fun!!)
I'm going to keep this short and simple. For anyone who follows me, you may have noticed I have updated a bunch of profiles now (amazing how many social networks we all belong to that have to get updated) to say I work for Accenture.
I loved working for Dynamix Group. They are a great company and a great partner, but I was on the road more then I wanted to be. My son has gotten to the age where he knows I'm no longer around and that stress was harder then I thought it would be to take. So, I found a job at Accenture doing network infrastructure and SAN infrastructure.
How does this change my social commitments? It won't. I'm still a proud serving member of the NetApp community and will continue to post and update on their plans and help out where I can. Accenture is a huge NetApp partner and supporter <Accenture Alliance> so I'm hoping at some point to get into their FlexPod implementation section. As for now, I'm on a long term project focused mainly on Network and SAN, so expect to see more posts on that coming up as well.
This is a change, but I think it's for the best. I'm really excited about the direction that I am going within the NetApp community and hoping for more within the Cisco community. Keep an eye out for tons more info as I really ramp up my blog.

Capital trio's gift to Kenyan children
Visiting southern Africa as a tourist introduced a Wellington woman to a new environment where she could make an enormous difference to children's lives.
Just three years later Denise Carnihan and her husband Chris have founded a school in a Kenyan slum and it is giving more than 300 children an education.
Ms Carnihan was a casual office administration worker in Wellington and her husband was a self- employed home maintenance man when they were drawn to Africa in 2009 by the discovery of unknown family.
During a commercial tour of southern Africa the Pukerua Bay couple visited some orphanages.
Inspired, Ms Carnihan returned alone to Kenya to volunteer at an orphanage and at a detention centre for teenage boys, where she met Ayub Nasongo, a "fantastic teacher".
"I absolutely loved the whole experience," she said. "It was more than I ever dreamed it would be, so I wanted my husband to experience it, too."
They returned to volunteer again the following year, but when they met Mr Nasongo they found he was working unpaid, because of corruption, Ms Carnihan said.
"After he left I made a random comment to my husband: 'Wouldn't it be cool if we could build a school for 50 kids in a slum and could get Ayub to run it?"'
Ms Carnihan was surprised when her husband agreed.
They invited a friend, Mandy Edmundson of Churton Park, to participate and she was keen.
Ms Edmundson said she had been visiting Nairobi to do some voluntary work.
"Because I went there to do that I had quite a bit of money people had given me to help in the voluntary area."
The school seemed an ideal cause, she said.
"I think we were a bit naive at the beginning. We thought it could be self-funding."
Now that it is clear that it cannot, Ms Edmundson is happy to be in for the long haul, she said.
"I think it is a worthwhile cause."
It was important to the three that the school was fully registered and followed the local curriculum, that all staff were paid and the community was involved where possible.
"It was also important to have an African school, not a European school, so we were directed by Ayub and the local community on the local building way, which meant iron sheets," she said.
"With the help of Ayub, we rented a plot of land in a very large slum called Kangemi on the outskirts of Nairobi and with the help of local people in the community we built a three-room school."
The modest Kia Ora Children's Learning Centre that opened in September 2011, was intended for 50 children, Ms Carnihan said.
"We walked in on the opening morning and the school was packed with 117 kids all wanting to learn. Parents were still coming through the gates with their kids. At that stage we couldn't take any more."
The three returned to New Zealand that November and began fundraising for another three classrooms, which were built two months later.
When Ms Carnihan returned to Nairobi in March, "I arrived at the school to find 300 kids, Ayub the headmaster, seven teachers and a Masai warrior security guard".
A chance meeting in a Nairobi cafe with a local businessman led to the donation of another three classrooms and the site was full.
