Author Notes: This could go in either category - Desserts or Vegetables. My mother-in-law gave me this recipes a few years ago when I confessed to her my addiction to zucchini. She had learned how to make this during a cooking class when she was in college and kept the handwritten recipe in her binder. What she gave me was a list of ingredients in her perfect script and I figured out the rest. I love the refreshing light taste of these cookies, plus they are a great way to use up any surplus of zucchini in my kitchen! —Kelsey Banfield
Food52 Review: When we first saw this recipe, we knew we had to try it. TheNaptimeChef had come up with a concept we'd never considered before, and we were both intrigued and hopeful. These cookies are delicate and ultra-lemony, the crisp buttery base anchoring a tender, cakey dome. The zucchini is subtle, but every few bites it makes its presence known with a pleasant, vegetal undertone. After our first taste, we agreed that these brought to mind a modern-day English tea cake -- we felt a hankering for a cuppa. The cookies were browning a bit too quickly after the first 12 minutes, so we turned the heat down to 350 degrees for the last 3. If, like we did, you use dark baking sheets, you may want to do the same. The cookies are perfectly cooked when they have a delicate smattering of light brown "freckles" on top. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 24
cups All-purpose flour
teaspoon baking powder
pinch coarse salt
cup unsalted butter, room temperature
cup sugar
tablespoons fresh lemon zest
cup shredded zucchini
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Combine butter and sugar in a mixer, beat until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and mix until incorporated. Add lemon zest and zucchini, mix until fully combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until all of the flour has been added and is completely mixed in. Do not overbeat.
- Drop by rounded teaspoon onto a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until edges of cookie are golden.

Recapping Day 3 of Redskins Free Agency
The Redskins made their biggest move of the day early Thursday morning by shipping disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2013 5th round draft pick. This ends a dark chapter because Haynesworth is widely viewed as arguably the biggest free agent bust in franchise history, which should say something. Ironically, Haynesworth heads to another team with a 3-4 defense and a coach regarded as even stricter than Mike Shanahan in Bill Belichick.

Is Your Child M.I.A.?
Posted by Debra Gray-Elliott at 12:11 PM 4 comments
Christian parent's aren't perfect!
We try to teach our children good moral character and right from wrong, but sometimes we get caught up
and forget to teach them action speaks louder than words.
So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead) James 2:17 AMP
Christian children aren't perfect!
Today's children tend to take everything for granted. They talk a good talk, but don't walk a good walk.
They are missing their get up and go action.
They are missing their let me lend you a hand action.
They are missing their what can I do to help action.
Christian parent's have raised a generation of lazy children who are missing in action!
I know I'm stepping on toes with these words, but I've looked around at Christian kids and I don't see their
actions in action. I hear a lot of talk instead.
Parent's, you have to take action! You are obligated to raise a child of action, not just words.
Instead of raising a missing in action child you can raise a moving in action child with three simple steps:
Move: don't be a sitter, be a go getter.
In: instead of immobile, insist on empowerment.
Action: get out, get going, get smart.
Don't raise an M.I.A. (missing in action) child!
Raise an M.I.A.(moving in action) child!

The interior design of a restaurant is very important as it can draw customers in or it can make them never want to come back. Not only do you have to consider how to best draw in customers you also have to ensure the design allows for productivity of your employees. If the layout is poorly designed employees will need more time to complete regular activities which can lead to poor customer service. Don't leave this to chance. It may be best to hire a restaurant interior design firm to ensure you can meets the needs of your employees while giving your customers an atmosphere they cannot wait to return to.
When considering restaurant interior design and how it will affect your customers, the first rule to remember is that you cannot please everyone. Someone is going to walk in and not like the look of your restaurant and that is okay. As long as the majority of your customers are comfortable you will be fine. The easiest way to do this is to allow the interior to reflect your personal tastes. A combination of ambiance and good food will be sure to bring people back time and again.
When considering restaurant interior design that will affect the customers, there are many areas you need to take into account. Space is important in the dining area. Employees need to be able to move around between tables with ease and customers don't want to be sitting too close to other tables. Yet you need to balance this by taking into consideration that open areas can be overwhelming when the restaurant is not filled to capacity. Don't forget a cashier area placed discreetly by the door. Ensure this does not interfere with normal flow of traffic. By considering all of these things when designing your restaurant, you will be sure to have a layout that is pleasing to all.

Peterson's Statement about the President's State of the Union Address
When the President gave his State of the Union address this week he certainly didn't say everything I'd hoped to hear. However, I do think that he struck the proper tone and I got the clear impression that he's starting to hear what I've been hearing all along from people out in rural Minnesota – "cut spending, focus on the economy and jobs, and work together to get things done". That's exactly what we need to be doing to get our country back on track and if he's serious about that then I think Congress will do its part too.
Spending is out of control and we absolutely have to get that stopped. By itself the President's proposal to freeze discretionary spending for three years isn't going to solve our larger problems but it's a step in the right direction and I think that if we can keep other committees from diverting our mandatory money most agriculture programs will still be OK. Maybe we should consider freezing spending for more than three years, but for now we should all support a three-year spending freeze and help get it done.
The President called for a Debt Commission and I agree with that, but more to the point we need one that can actually work. The sad fact is that Congress won't deal with this debt reduction issue no matter which party is in charge – all you have to do is look at the record to see the proof of that. I supported Senator Conrad's idea of a legislatively created Debt Commission and although Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats voted that down I'm still hopeful that we can get this done using the Executive Order approach that President committed himself to. It can work, but it absolutely must be done right.
The President mentioned a few ideas he has for increased spending on some specific programs that at other times and in other economic circumstances most of us might consider very worthwhile – but when we're already in debt beyond anything we've ever seen before I don't think this is the time for any "new" spending proposals.
I'm still not so sure that the President has gotten the people's message on health care. If he's been listening – and I hope he has been – he knows that people are skeptical to say the least. No matter who's talking – the government, the media, lobbyists, Republicans or Democrats -- you can't tell people "this is not going to affect you, it's not going to add to the deficit, and we're going to cover 30 million more people" and expect them to believe you. You can't get something for nothing. People know there's no free lunch. Cost shifting is a reality in health care, especially here in Minnesota , and any changes we make to our system could create more of that, and that's not what we should be doing. People know that getting more is going to cost more, and in the current economy you can't blame people for saying "no, thanks" to that.
But with all that said most of the Republicans and Democrats I talk to about health care really do want to get something done. I've told the President that he should back off a bit and focus on specific problems, like getting costs under control, fixing geographic disparities, covering pre-existing conditions for kids and letting them stay longer on their parents' insurance policies. Incremental progress in the right direction is something we can accomplish so we should figure out what most of us agree on and get that done. I think that if the President is willing to scale back his agenda and lead in a bipartisan manner Congress can pass meaningful legislation to make positive changes to the system that most people will support.
The President needs to keep working to convince Minnesotans and Americans in general that he understands what they're most concerned about. If he can do that then perhaps we can all set aside our ideologies and our political agendas and get back to working together to accomplish what the citizens of this country need.

Hello! You probably know that some chapters of "JAM" were made in the style of 2D games. My friends constantly asked me to post production materials. so here's the result of my digging in the archives))
Since comics characters appeared in the flat world, we decided that the best solution would be to make their adventures in the form of two-dimensional games.Below I have tried to show in chronological order stages of production.I started with the storyboard. After that it was possible to make a list of all items that are required in the final version. and believe me - it took a hell of a lot of things! below you will find my quick level design, as well as the characters actions for this levels.
I also took creating of special effects.for me it was new territory, but I got a lot of experience and generally enjoy the process! And in the end you will find some gifs of the final look of the chapters.
awesome work of our team of artists and animators!I hope you like it! enjoy!!!

This April Is Cruelest Month For Nava
With one game left in April, Daniel Nava is batting .156 with 0 home runs.
Considering his .337 career minor league batting average after four seasons, I had to ask the 28-year-old outfielder if he has ever scuffled this badly at the minor league level.
"My first month in the Red Sox organization was like this, but it was a little different because I wasn't playing every day," Nava said. "Everyone goes through these times and I'm trying not to focus on the hits. I'm trying to feel good in the box, take good swings, and then put the ball in play hard."
Daniel's memory of his rookie year in Boston's farm system is accurate. In 2008 with Single-A Lancaster, Nava batted .233 in April. But by the end of that season, Nava was the California League batting champion with a .341 average.
"I've been in this situation before, but it doesn't make it any more fun or any easier," Nava told me. "But I know that I just have to keep trying to take steps in the right direction – as corny as that sounds."
Daniel is tied for 2nd in the International League with 17 walks, so his slow start isn't necessarily a matter of chasing bad pitches.
"I feel like I'm seeing the ball but I'm just not executing," Nava said. "When you're not doing as well as you want to, you start to think too much. I'm just trying to turn my brain off and see the ball and react."
While Daniel has not performed well in the batters box, you would never know it in the clubhouse where he is as friendly and upbeat as ever.
"Of course there are times where you are more frustrated than others, but I try to stay on an even keel – I've tried to pick that up from a lot of the guys in Boston," Nava said. "It's a long season and obviously everybody wants to start out well, but sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. It doesn't mean that you can't finish strong."
After his bad first month at Lancaster in '08, Nava batted .418 in May.
I suspect a similar turnaround is right around the corner.

GREENSBORO � Even at their best, Medicaid and health care reforms seem like a complicated mess.
Throw in years of questionable state software projects, damning audits and one of the most complex pieces of federal legislation in history � President Barack Obama�s health care overhaul is intrinsically tied to Medicaid � and the whole thing becomes nigh impossible to follow.
The bottom line of the past few weeks is that the Republicans in control of the N.C. General Assembly and the governor�s mansion have decided not to cooperate with two key elements of the president�s reforms.
Instead of partnering with the federal government on new health insurance exchanges, which for users will seem a lot like a travel website for insurance, state leaders will let the federal government handle it alone.
And instead of expanding Medicaid to cover an estimated 500,000 additional people, they simply won�t, leaving many North Carolinians without health insurance and saving the federal government billions of dollars.
For those who want a deeper understanding, we�ve tried to lay things out below. For you true policy wonks out there: This is not absolutely everything you need to know to run Medicaid and health care reform. For the rest of you, this will more than get you started. Embrace the acronyms. Keep patience at hand. Dig in.
The basics
Medicaid is government health insurance. It mostly covers children, the disabled and poor senior citizens. It costs about $14 billion a year in North Carolina and helps roughly 1.6 million people.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed Congress in 2010 and survived a U.S. Supreme Court test last year.
Well, it survived for the most part, but more on that later. It�s sometimes called ACA, or just health reform. You�ve also heard it called, derisively or not, �Obama�care.�
And expansion is ...
One of the keystones of the ACA was a massive expansion of Medicaid eligibility.
Current Medicaid eligibility is complex and differs from state to state. In North Carolina, it�s rarely available to single people, even if they make very little money and don�t have insurance. The ACA law told states to expand Medicaid to cover anyone younger than 65 who makes less than 138 percent (or 133 percent � depending how you calculate things) of the federal poverty limit.
For a single person, that�s a little less than $15,000 a year. For a family of four, it�s a little less than $31,000. People older than 65 are eligible for Medicare, which is separate from Medicaid. Others above the 133/138 percent line would be expected to have health insurance through an employer or to qualify for taxpayer-subsidized insurance through the new health care exchanges.
In North Carolina, this expansion would add an estimated 500,000 people to Medicaid, and it was supposed to be mandatory. But the Supreme Court made it optional, and a number of Republican-controlled state governments have declined expansion, pulling away an underpinning for health reforms they don�t like.
The federal government would pay for 100 percent of this expansion for the first three years, starting in 2014. Then the state would have to pick up 10 percent. North Carolina leaders have said they are worried about a bait and switch � that the federal government might shrink its contribution, leaving the state to pay more.
Plus, taxpayer money is taxpayer money, and the federal government is $16.5 trillion in debt. In the eyes of Americans for Prosperity, a group that advocates spending cuts and no new taxes, North Carolina Republicans are heroes for turning down federal funding.
State AFP director Dallas Woodhouse called them �a shining example� last week of �the fiscal stewardship that we need.�
Why not expand?
North Carolina liberals are aghast that the state has turned down federal funding to give health insurance to 500,000 people.
Doctors and hospitals are concerned, too, because many of the people who would have received Medic�aid turn up in emergency rooms, get care and never pay. That means other people�s bills go up accordingly.
More than one left-leaning policy analyst called expansion a �no-brainer,� and a number of other states with Republican governors plan to expand.
But Gov. Pat McCrory and his health and human services Secretary, Aldona Wos, whose department oversees Medicaid, say the state�s entire Medicaid system is broken. The biggest issue is technology, and the state has been working for years to replace a billing system called the �Medicaid Management Information System,� or MMIS.
It hired Affiliated Computer Services to overhaul the system in 2004, but after delays, the state canceled that contract at a cost of about $16.1 million. It hired Computer Science Services instead, but that project is running two years behind, and the contract nearly doubled to $494 million, according to a January 2012 state audit.
McCrory and Wos have expressed concerns that although the new system is scheduled to go live July 1, it won�t. Meanwhile, Hewlett-Packard, which the state has been trying to replace since 2004, runs the state�s old MMIS, which the federal government considers out of date.
It�s a big operation: HP has about 140 employees in the Raleigh area to handle $800 million in claims each month.
Until these issues � and others we�ll deal with in a moment � are cleared up, McCrory has said the state can�t handle expansion.
Disconcerting audits?
State Auditor Beth Wood released an audit in July 2012 that said various efforts to identify Medicaid fraud using software had come up short. Officials with the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services said the effort was preventing fraud just by existing, though they acknowledge that recovering fraudulent payments is difficult.
Last month, Wood�s office said North Carolina�s Medicaid program has significantly higher administrative costs than other states. Those costs are spread across 11 divisions, the audit found. It also found overspending in the Department of Health and Human Services.
But the audit was limited. Wood and her staff acknowledged they didn�t have time for a full review of the nine states they used for comparison on administrative costs. And DHHS staff and Democrats openly complained about unrealistic Republican spending targets in the Medicaid budget.
Some also noted that North Carolina had the lowest average annual growth in Medicaid spending in the country from 2007 to 2010, the most recent data available from the Kaiser Family Foundation, which tracks that information. And Carol Steckel, the new head of the N.C. Division of Medical Assistance, said last week that some of North Carolina�s recent Medicaid reforms have served as a model for other states.
There�s one more audit at issue, though. Last week, Wood documented nearly $581,000 in inappropriate overtime payouts to DHHS employees working on the Medicaid billing overhaul.
Everything affects everything
The Medicaid billing system is called MMIS, and doctors and hospitals submit claims to it for payment. But as health care reform takes full effect next year, another program will determine whether people are eligible for Medicaid or whether they need to look to the exchange for insurance.
That program is called N.C. FAST, and there are concerns. The program is now used to determine food-stamp eligibility in some counties, including Guilford. It�s expanding to all 100 N.C. counties.
In Guilford County, the move to N.C. FAST caused delays in food stamp distribution because data had to be typed into the system for all 45,000 households that get food stamps in the county. A social services employee has to go through 31 steps for each entry, said Steve Hayes, the county�s director of family and children�s services. Once that�s done, the system works well, Hayes said, but the changeover caused a backlog.
The goal is to use N.C. FAST for Medicaid eligibility as well as other government charity programs, making it a one-stop shop of sorts. Eventually, instead of people having to visit a Division of Social Services office routinely to renew their food stamps and other benefits, �we could put a kiosk in the grocery store,� Hayes said.
A pilot program to add Medicaid to N.C. FAST is scheduled to start later this year, Hayes said. The state had hoped to spend more than half of a $74 million grant it received recently from the federal government to work on N.C. FAST and other DHHS technology, which it will eventually tie in to the new health insurance exchange.
But because North Carolina won�t be involved in the exchange, that money will apparently be sent back to the federal government. McCrory and legislators hope to get some federal money for N.C. FAST, though, and requested it as part of the bill that blocks Medicaid expansion and opts out of the exchange.
What exactly is an exchange, anyway?
Think about it like a travel or used-car website: It will be an online marketplace where you compare and buy insurance, except it�s the most complicated website you�re ever likely to visit.
It has to check your income and citizenship to determine eligibility. It will have risk-analysis capabilities to keep individual insurance companies from getting overloaded with costs. It will be backed by actuarial studies and other analyses specific to various states and regions because insurance costs and other factors vary across the country.
At least, it�s supposed to. About half the states have told the federal government they won�t build their own exchanges or help with hybrid systems, leaving the federal government to do it alone. North Carolina is likely to join that group soon.
But they�ll still be ready on time, right?
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, absolutely. People in every state will have a working exchange come Oct. 1, when open enrollment begins for the new system, a department spokesman said Friday.
Others are cynical. Officials with the N.C. Department of Insurance said they�ve put this question to federal officials repeatedly and been told, repeatedly, that things are on schedule.
Adam Linker, a health policy analyst who supports ACA reform and worked on North Carolina�s exchange preparations, said there has been a lot of progress. But his confidence is �certainly not 100 percent.�
National policy wonks have deeper concerns. Things simply haven�t gone as federal officials expected, said Ray Hanley, a former chairman of the National Association of State Medicaid Directors.
�They did not, in their wildest dreams, think so many states were not going to do (exchanges),� Hanley said. �Standing up Texas alone is monumental.�
This stuff is expensive
The behind-the-scenes costs of health care reforms are big and getting bigger.
As of Dec. 31, the federal government had spent at least $18.3 billion nationwide to implement the ACA law, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Of that, $377 million had been spent in North Carolina.
The federal exchange is being built by CGI on a $93.7 million contract, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Another company, QSSI, got a $58.3 million contract to build the related �data services hub,� which will interact with exchanges and Medicaid systems to verify income, citizenship and other information.
North Carolina has received roughly $18.4 million in federal grants to prepare for the ACA, not including the $74 million it�s likely to return because it won�t develop a state or hybrid exchange. Some of that money went to contracts with these groups:
Milliman Inc. for actuarial studies: $260,250.
N.C. Institute of Medicine for various analyses: $426,803.
Public Consulting Group for an evaluation plan and grant application help: $689,330.
Manatt Health Solutions for facilitating meetings, developing briefs, studying state options and developing standards: $2.3 million.
Some of those totals represent multiple contracts, and the final costs may be lower than the potential maximum listed, according to the N.C. Department of Insurance.
Federal ACA money has also gone to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services ($3.77 million) to supplement staff in the state�s Office of Information Technology Services ($584,920) and for the Department of Insurance itself.
The department also hired 23 employees, with an annual salary total of nearly $1.2 million, to deal with ACA issues, it said in an email.
Oh, and the IRS is involved
In an effort to collect names and contact information on the petition to �Stop Obamacare in North Carolina,� Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger has been telling people the government will be �turning our health records over to the IRS.�
That�s not correct, according to a number of reviews.
The Internal Revenue Service will, however, collect forms from insurance companies that say whether people have health insurance. The IRS will collect a penalty tax from those who don�t.
Are there unintended consequences?
There may be quite a few. But the decision to reject Medicaid expansion is a particular concern for rural areas.
The cash infusion from expansion was supposed to replace other federal funding streams, including disproportionate share payments that go to rural hospitals. That money � which totals hundreds of millions a year in North Carolina � will be phased out under the ACA reform.
It would be a huge loss for rural hospitals, which is why state Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, was the only Republican legislator to vote last week against blocking the expansion. Lewis said he�s against the expansion, but he wanted to call attention to the problem for rural hospitals.
Was there a good reason to do all this?
Roughly 48.6 million people in this country don�t have insurance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and that�s the core problem that Medicaid expansion and other ACA reforms were meant to address.
Roughly 1.5 million of those people live in North Carolina. Some 500,000 of them would have been covered by expansion.
Rejecting it leaves them without insurance because they�ll fall through the cracks between existing government programs, existing private insurance options and the coming subsidized insurance plans offered through the exchanges, according an N.C. Institute of Medicine report.
The state would also miss out on $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion in annual increased domestic product and as many as 25,000 new jobs in health care and other sectors by 2016, the report says.
Republican leaders have questioned some of this analysis, but their primary arguments are that the current Medicaid system is broken and that the country can�t afford to so heavily subsidize health care.
�North Carolina�s Medicaid program can�t manage the 1.6 million people it is already supposed to serve,� Berger, R-Rockingham, Berger wrote last week.
�Adding 500,000 people to this system is foolhardy.�

GFI Software recently released its VIPRE® Report, a compilation of the 10 most prevalent threat detections for the previous month. Noteworthy threats in November 2011 included a new Facebook worm; the return of PDF-based malware posing as the U.S. Postal Service; Bank of America and SunTrust Bank phishing scams; and a phony food stamp website.
"Staying vigilant online — especially during the holiday shopping season — is key to not falling victim to scams or infecting a PC by clicking on malicious links or files," said Christopher Boyd, senior threat researcher for GFI Software. "When in doubt, users should take a page from Santa's playbook by 'checking it twice.' Never open attachments or provide information in response to unsolicited emails, and always remember that a bank will never ask for sensitive information via email."
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving in the United States, GFI Labs detected an increase in bank-related phishing. Users received emails purporting to originate from SunTrust Bank and Bank of America. Both scams were unique in that they contained an HTML attachment which was actually a form asking for banking login information and even driver's license numbers. Users who doubt the authenticity of an email communication from their bank should call the phone number shown on the back of their issued card to verify.
PDF-based malware made a return in November. This type of attack is not new, but the time of year makes this one particularly effective. Users receive emails from what appears to be the U.S. Postal Service, informing them that they have a package that cannot be delivered due to insufficient address information. The attached PDF appears to be a shipping label which users are instructed to print. Upon opening the file, a variant of FakeSysDef, a rogue malware, is installed.
Targeting the Most Vulnerable
"Underscoring that anyone can be a target of cyber crime and that it's not just big enterprises and banks that are at risk, last month we found scammers targeting people with limited financial resources," said Jovi Umawing, threat researcher for GFI Software. "A fraudulent food stamps website was set up to misappropriate the cell phone numbers of those supported by the program. Thinking they were responding to an official request from the government, victims provided their cell phone numbers, which were automatically enrolled in a premium SMS service, placing unauthorized and unwanted charges on their phone bills."
GFI's VIPRE Report is compiled from the collected scan data of tens of thousands of VIPRE Antivirus customers who are part of GFI's ThreatNet™ automated threat tracking system. ThreatNet statistics revealed that Trojans continue to make up a large portion of the most prevalent threats, taking four of the top 10 spots.

"In our view, the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety," he said, according to SCOTUSblog.
In a 5-4 vote, the high court upheld the heart of Obamacare.
The justices found the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty can be upheld as a tax.

This flavor combination of Cherry and Almond was inspired by our Spring trip to Washington DC's Cherry Blossom Festival a couple of years ago. Sprinkles in Georgetown had a Cherry cupcake in honor of the festival. I came home and immediately made my own version. I thought the combination would be great with the cherry branches I'd be giving as a gift, but cupcakes are hard to package (and hang on a door...), so I opted for this pound cake instead that is easily wrapped in parchment. For details on how I packaged the gift, visit this link.
Cherry Almond Pound Cake
1 stick of butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Bus Bench Blues
By Lydia Gans
Thursday January 24, 2013 - 11:32:00 AM
The bench at the bus stop in front of Peet's on Telegraph is back. Thank you to the city management for keeping your promise to return it "soon" - though a year and a half is rather stretching the definition of "soon". Not to be ungrateful but that bench is about the shabbiest piece of furniture we've ever seen. It looks like it came directly out of a scrapyard. Mr. Becker and the TBID folks won't need to worry because nobody is going to sit on that bench any longer than necessary, that's until the next bus comes.

I recently had an opportunity to work with Grails, Rails, and Java to solve some similar internal business problems. Dynamic languages are great productivity enhancers for a very small team of highly competent experts in the field. However, in the hands of an average programmer without rigorous guidance and careful review they should be classified as weapons of mass destruction.
While I haven't yet tried this with Rails, I did make a recommendation (after using it myself) that we switch some of our simpler new CRUD applications to use grails. Heck, why screw around manually wiring in spring/hibernate/etc when you can use grails and get all kinds of neat things for free?
The first problem we're struggling with in grails is that there are some cool and super ways to get things done, but because we can always revert to java, most people just do it the "java way". This means we've forsaken the safety of compile time checking and gained ... nothing.
The second problem is that, even if one decides to forage into the groovy/grails way of doing things, there is more than one way to do it^4 and our code begins to look a lot like hacked together perl modules. The newness of the language is a pitfall for folks who absolutly require it to have been done before

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian Starring in New Reality Series
Singer LeAnn Rimes and her husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, are ready to once and for all show everyone who they really are. In an effort to rail against the tabloid rumors, the couple will star in a half-hour reality series for VH1 in the fall. Rimes recently referred to her life as 'one big country song,' but apparently, it's a television show as well!
The new show, produced by Gurney Productions, has a working title of 'LeAnn & Eddie' and is slated to give viewers an honest portrayal of the couple's married life. Their relationship has been under intense scrutiny ever since their highly publicized affair that broke up both of their previous marriages -- and landed Rimes in an in-patient facility.
"We are really excited to be working together on a unique show that will give you a glimpse into who we really are, or better yet who we're really not," Rimes and Cibrian state in a press release. "We're thrilled to partner with VH1 and the Gurneys to put our spin on a project full of love, humor and music."
There had been rumors of the couple pitching a sitcom about their lives, and their efforts paid off. In addition to Scott and Deirdre Gurney for Gurney Productions, Rimes and Cibrian will serve as executive producers for Country Cuban Productions, Inc. Other executive producers are John Ferriter for Octagon Entertainment and Scotty Abrams for Maniac Filmworks and Music. Jill Holmes is executive producing for VH1.
VH1 is vocal about their support for the two lovebirds, as Tom Calderone, President of VH1 says, "LeAnn and Eddie are both talented entertainers who have really captured the public's imagination in the last couple of years, but there is so much more to them than what you read in the tabloids. This is going to be a really fun show in which we hope to reveal what their lives are really like -- from the normalcy of their home life, to what drives them artistically, to the chaos of their celebrity life."
'LeAnn & Eddie' will begin airing its initial six-episode run in the fall of 2013, although no specific air dates or times have yet been announced.

The Signmaker's Assistant illustration will appear here.
I really like this book for all the different signs that the assistant did and how everyone in the town were following them. My favorite part in this book is when they wrote the sign ?No school today? and no one was going to school. My favorite character is the sign maker because he was really smart and creative.
I think everyone should read this book because it is really funny and colorful. I think the kind of reader that would like this book are people who like art.

One of the most feared bounty hunters of the galaxy, Bossk used his natural Trandoshan hunting instincts to capture his prey. During the Clone Wars, the red-eyed reptilian partnered with Aurra Sing, Castas and young Boba Fett. Bossk didn't care much for vendettas or politics. He was in it to get paid. After a brief stint in a Republic prison, Bossk continued his partnership with Fett, becoming a bodyguard to the teen bounty hunter. Decades later, Bossk answered Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Hoth, an assignment that put him in direct competition with Boba.

Quotes //
history //
The Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk's relationship with Boba Fett dated back to the very beginnings of Fett's career, when Bossk joined Aurra Sing, Fett and Castas on a mission to avenge Jango Fett's death. The mission ended with Bossk in a Republic prison on Coruscant, where he served as the young hunter's muscle. Their relationship continued after their release, with jobs on planets such as Quarzite.
After the Empire's rise, Bossk became one of the galaxy's most-feared hunters, seeking fugitives in his ship, the Hound's Tooth. One mission took him to Lothal, where he hired an urchin named Ezra Bridger to serve as a guide.
Years later, Bossk once again stood alongside Boba Fett. The two answered Darth Vader's call for hunters to locate the Millennium Falcon and bring her passengers to Imperial justice.

Boba Fett
With his customized Mandalorian armor, deadly weaponry, and silent demeanor, Boba Fett was one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. A genetic clone of his "father," bounty hunter Jango Fett, Boba learned combat and martial skills from a young age. Over the course of his career, which included contracts for the Empire and the criminal underworld, he became a legend.
Aurra Sing
A feared bounty hunter known for her chalk-white skin and built-in comlink antenna, Aurra Sing was an expert sniper and trained assassin who would work for anyone who paid her. After the death of Jango Fett, Aurra trained Boba Fett as a bounty hunter, teaching him the skills -- and the ruthlessness -- that he would need in pursuing his deadly profession.
Ezra Bridger
Growing up on his own during the age of the Empire, Ezra Bridger relied on his street smarts -- and subconscious Force abilities -- to survive. He became a con artist and small-time thief, doing what he needed to get by on his home planet Lothal. But this reality also hardened Ezra, who by the time he was 14 years old, had little trust for anyone. That would change with his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Empire. Ezra came to believe in their cause, and saw that he could help change the galaxy for the better. And with the help of Kanan Jarrus, he began to learn the ways of the Jedi.
Slave I
The deadly Slave I was infamous for its association with Jango Fett, a bounty hunter in Mandalorian armor. Fett packed the craft with weapons, from laser cannons and projectile launchers to seismic charges. Boba Fett inherited Slave I upon Jango's death, but Aurra Sing crashed it on Florrum and Boba was taken into Republic custody. Hondo Ohnaka repaired Slave I, and Boba later reclaimed it. A generation after Jango's death, the distinctive craft remained the last thing fugitives wanted to see on their scanners.
Darth Vader
Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empire's eradication of the Jedi Order. He remained in service of the Emperor -- the evil Darth Sidious -- for decades, enforcing his Master's will and seeking to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance. But there was still good in him…
Hound's Tooth
The personal ship of Bossk, the Hound's Tooth was a perfect fit for the Trandoshan hunter: imposing, deadly, and reliable. The bridge sits high atop an elongated, rectangular hull, giving Bossk a commanding view of landing fields or spacebound prey. The vessel's engines, power core and weapon systems take up the lower decks.

I couldn't find a topic on the matter so I decided to make a new one on the SEELE Logo in the Rebuild series, particularly Q.
SPOILER: Show
One of the larger questions of the fans of the Rebuild series has to do with SEELE's logo changing. Why the change? When? What caused it? Etc.
I was browsing Reddit and came across this SEELE logo found in the medical facilities(?) in NGE's episode "Rei 3":
It's a much different logo than discussed, substituting the SEELE eyes for bars. The bars from what others have suggested can represent a couple of things:
SPOILER: Show
- Emission spectrums from chemical elements
- DNA sequencing
The conclusion to draw is that this is not the first time SEELE(or NERV) has changed their logo to represent something not strongly identifiable.
However allow me to move 1 step further.
SPOILER: Show
This is the only connection to the Artifical Evolution Lab SEELE Logo(which I pulled up from an old Evageeks article that I'll post at the bottom). As you can see some of the colors used in the analysis of the 4th Angel from NGE can be inconclusively assigned to the SEELE logo from NGE.
SEELE was established on a scientific basis, initially as an artificial evolution lab. The medical logo likely represents as stated - some sort of DNA sequencing or chemical emission. Some last thoughts and symbols that might play into this at the end of Q:
We all know that the Door of Guf was open. It was opened by Unit 13. There are strange lines radiating towards it. Perhaps the door needed to be held open so that SEELE could transfer spectrums into Guf. (I'm not a fookin' scientist, don't know what I'm talking about, but you get the point)
SPOILER: Show
SPOILER: Show
At the end of Eva Q, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka are seen walking away. Notice their trailing footsteps forms a double helix towards the end of the path. Perhaps this is a statement - that these 3 are the ones pushing forward and everyone else is stuck as a "failure of infinity," not able to move forward through time and evolution.

LOS ANGELES—Miley Cyrus's latest music video, which features the provocative pop singer in just her underwear simulating masturbation, leaked online hours before its scheduled release on Thursday, prompting a profane rebuke from the former Disney star.
The video for Cyrus's most recent single, "Adore You," shows the singer writhing between bed sheets, sucking her thumb and rubbing her body before putting on a crocheted top and singing in the bath.
The video leaked online Wednesday ahead of its planned Thursday release. The leaked version has since been taken down.
"We all know Smilers would break another record if it wasn't for the (expletive) face who leaked my video. Alllllll good! Keep smiling :)," Cyrus posted on Twitter, referring to her fans who are known as "Smilers."
The "Adore You" video mirrors Cyrus's prior clothes-shedding and headline-grabbing performances this year as the 21-year-old leaves behind her squeaky-clean Disney image to become the sexually provocative, marijuana-smoking bad girl of pop music.
Her previous music video for the song "Wrecking Ball," directed by celebrity photographer Terry Richardson, showed Cyrus swinging from a wrecking ball clad only in boots.
"Wrecking Ball" was the quickest video to hit 100 million views on the online music video syndicating service Vevo, a record that Cyrus said she wanted to break.
The video is part of Cyrus's promotional blitz for her album Bangerz. She is also set to perform in New York City's Times Square on ABC's annual Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on Dec. 31.
Cyrus and her persona have been a constant in tabloid headlines and television chatter since her scrutinized performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September when she "twerked" during a performance of Robin Thicke's song "Blurred Lines."

Had such a good reception to the blogs about obscure toys that I'm going to try some more original pieces on a few of my other passions, and see if this leads anywhere.
The first series is going to be about children's books, and I want to do a few posts going over some of the ones that I just find weird, or uncomfortable.
Today: Racism, yay!
I found this really nice late 1960s edition of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY at, of all places, an estate sale I spontaneously visited (everything was overpriced that was of interest, including a lovely collection of Beatrix Potter-inspired miniatures). It was one of the versions with the original illustrations by Joseph Schindelman, and I was infatuated with the cover, which combined the pen-and-ink artwork with this crazy colorful backdrop.
Ohhhh, lordy.
The Oompa-Loompas appeared this way in the first version of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY in 1964. By the early 1970s, they had prompted some complaint and were re-rendered like this (again, taken from the piece linked above):
The Oompa-Loompas were part of a major problem you had in a lot of 20th century children's stories: They were racist as hell.
Black people were a major part of African society, but this was the height of "separate but equal," remember. So when blacks were in movies/radio/etc., they usually talked like "Yes, massah."
And when they were depicted in cartoons and illustrations…oh lordy. Big eyes, big lips, and more of the awful dialect.
This wasn't just America — British children's stories did this a lot, with a famous example being the Golliwog, who's even appeared in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN:

Egypt travel advisories renewed in wake of violence
Md. student died in violence
Simon Busch | 7/3/2013, 10:48 a.m.
CNN Worsening violence amid anti-government protests in Egypt has led western governments step up their travel advice.
Yesterday, at least 23 people were killed, and hundreds injured, in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy at Cairo University.
Since then, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is recommending "against all but essential travel to Egypt" except certain coastal resorts, where unrest is less evident.
Previously, the FCO advised travelers only to steer clear of "all demonstrations and large gatherings" within the country.
The U.S. State Department continues to advise against all "non-essential" travel to or within Egypt.
Tourism minister quits
Egypt's tourism industry suffered another blow Monday with the resignation of the country's tourism minister, Hisham Zazour.
Zazour handed in his resignation along with five other ministers, including the foreign minister, over the violence sweeping the country.
The present crisis was the last straw for a man with one of the toughest jobs in tourism. He had threatened to quit last month over the appointment as Luxor governor of a member of a political group associated with a massacre in the city 15 years ago that killed 58 tourists.
Tourism vital
The pyramids of Giza, the Nile and the coastal resorts of Sharm-el-Sheikh are among the world's most popular tourist attractions. The industry is vital to Egypt's economy.
Tourism employs around 10% of the Egyptian workforce and brought in $10 billion in 2012, according to UNWTO figures.
However, anti-government protests beginning in 2011, part of the revolutionary movement sweeping the Middle East, have hit tourism hard. Visitor numbers have fallen by almost one-third, from 14 million in 2010 to 10.5 million last year.
Will travelers still go?
Should travelers still visit Egypt? There have been bargains aplenty as travel operators have tried to woo back tourists to what has long been one of the world's most popular sun-sea-and-sights destinations.
Yet official travel advice is hardening -- while stopping short in all cases of advising against all travel or assisting foreigners to leave Egypt.
In addition to deaths at public demonstrations, the British government notes reports of "more than forty rapes and sexual assaults of Egyptian and foreign women."
Coastal resorts "safe"
Yet the Foreign and Commonwealth Office exempts "resorts on the Red Sea in South Sinai" and certain mainland resorts from its advice against travel. It continue to state that "most visits" to Egypt are trouble-free.
It is true that, as protests have surged and dwindled over the past two years, violence has largely been confined to Cairo and other cities, rather than the coastal resorts popular with package holiday tourists.
"July and August traditionally see lower numbers of holidaymakers traveling to Egypt than the rest of the year," the Association of British Travel Agents told CNN Travel Tuesday.
"At this stage, outside of Cairo it is very much business as usual, and holiday makers are enjoying their holidays without interruption."
U.S. citizen dies
In stronger advice than Britain's, the U.S. government recommends against all "non-essential" travel to Egypt. A U.S. citizen, Andrew Pochter, 21, died after being stabbed in the chest at a protest in the city of Alexandria last Friday.
Political unrest in Egypt is "likely to continue in the near future," the State Department says.
Whatever the political outlook for the country, its vital tourism industry is likely to take years to recover from its violent recent history.

Tony Award Winner Richard Maltby to Helm Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's A MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN
Tony Award winner Richard Maltby, Jr. will direct The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's world premiere production of Cathy Tempelsman's A Most Dangerous Woman about the famed Victorian-era writer George Eliot. The production begins performances on September 18, 2013 at The Shakespeare Theatre's F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre in Madison New Jersey.
Maltby conceived and directed the Tony Award winning Broadway musicals Aint' Misbehavin' for which Maltby won the Tony Award for Best Director, Fosse and Ring of Fire. His credits also include the Tony-nominated Broadway musicals Baby (director and lyricist), Big (lyricist), Take Flight (lyricist and conceiver), Miss Saigon (co-lyricist), and The Pirate Queen (co-book writer and lyricist). He was also the director and co-lyricist for Song & Dance for which Bernadette Peters won her first Tony Award. His Off-Broadway credits include the Grammy-nominated Starting Here, Starting Now (director and lyricist), and Closer Than Ever, winner of the Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score. He recently directed the highly acclaimed revival of Closer Than Ever at the York Theatre Company. Maltby is also the recipient of Grammy, Outer Critics and Drama Desk Award nominations. He also wrote the screenplay for the film Miss Potter starting Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor and contributes crossword puzzles to Harpers Magazine.
A Most Dangerous Woman explores the extraordinary life of Mary Ann Evans -- better known by her pen name George Eliot -- one of the leading authors of the Victorian era. In order to be taken more seriously as a writer, Eliot took the name and was forced into a world of deception and secrets. "Out of the isolation she suffers - born of her own passion and need - she develops a preternatural insight into hidden and secret lives and the suffering of ordinary men and women, who, dramatically, are as rich and compelling as the kings and queens we find in Shakespeare," said playwright Cathy Tempelsman.
Tempelsman's award-winning A Most Dangerous Woman is the recipient of a Pilgrim Fund development grant and has received readings at Primary Stages, The Vineyard Playhouse in Martha's Vineyard, The Dramatists Guild, and Nuneaton Town Hall in England. Her one-act play Missing was produced at Boston Playwrights Theatre and the Barrow Group in New York City, and was recently published by Smith and Kraus. She has been a guest artist at the Kennedy Center's Playwriting Intensive, and studied at the Sewanee Writers' Conference in Tennessee. She has also been a guest lecturer at the International George Eliot Conference at the University of Warwickshire in the UK. Prior to writing plays, Tempelsman worked for the Wall Street Journal and she is the author of the parenting guide Child-Wise. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Vineyard Gazette and Coastal Living.
The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Main Stage, the 308-seat F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, is conveniently located in Madison at 36 Madison Avenue (Route 124) at Lancaster Road (on the Drew University campus), just minutes from routes 287, 78 and 10. Parking is free.

Topic Page: parachute
umbrellalike device designed to retard the descent of a falling body by creating drag as it passes through the air. The development of modern aircraft has led to many experiments in the aerodynamic problems of parachute design, with the result that the parachute of today is a highly efficient instrument. It must permit slow descent, must be highly stable, have little weight and a small area, and must retain its shape and maintain its balance in descent. Originally made of silk, parachutes are usually constructed from nylon or Kevlar. The traditional parachute takes the form of an umbrella, from which a series of cords converge downward to a harness strapped to the user; modern parachutes are wing-shaped, allowing precise control by the parachutist. By pulling on the appropriate control cords, the parachutist can spill air out of one side or another, and increase or decrease the lift of the wing, thus turning, diving, or even hovering under favorable conditions. Parachuting has its dangers. Folding a parachute requires a high degree of skill, and an improperly folded chute will not open. Before the parachute can be opened, the user must be clear of the aircraft in order to avoid entanglement, or fouling. Finally, the harness must be easily detachable, or else the parachutist might be drowned or dragged along the ground. The rate of descent for a traditional parachute is about 18 ft (5.5 m) per sec; sport parachutists manage to reduce that speed significantly.
A French aeronaut, Jean Pierre Blanchard, claimed the invention of the parachute in 1785, and the first successful parachute descent from a great height was made in 1797 by the French aeronaut Jacques Garnerin, who dropped 3,000 ft (920 m) from a balloon. Parachutes began as an escape system for persons aboard balloons or aircraft unable to land safely. Modern military jet aircraft are provided with ejection seats that shoot occupants free of their craft and automatically release a parachute when they are at a safe altitude. In addition, since World War II parachutes have been used by the military for airborne operations and emergency resupply. Skydiving and the more dangerous swooping (canopy piloting) and BASE jumping are forms of sport parachuting. Parachutes are also used as braking devices for rockets, space vehicles, airplanes, and high-speed surface vehicles.
