0 Honda Prelude's For Sale
About Prelude
The Honda Prelude made its debut in 1978 and did not slip out of production until 2001, making it an impressively long-lived sports coupe.
After the first generation Prelude was revealed in '78, it entered the commercial market in 1979. It was based on the Honda Accord and all subsequent generations would follow this trend.
The Prelude was equipped with a 1.8 litre engine that developed 75 bhp and it was noteworthy for its time because it actually featured power steering as standard. In the past this had been reserved for more powerful, expensive vehicles.
In 1983 the Prelude entered its second generation, this time with a more modern 1.8 litre engine that could produce 110bhp. A 2.0 litre engine was also available, increasing the power slightly for those who wanted a little more poke.
The fixed headlights of the first generation were replaced with pop up lights at the front, while the styling became a little more angular to keep up with tastes of the time.
The third generation Prelude was given a launch in 1988, with optional four wheel steering introduced on a number of models and a full complement of two litre engines ranging in power from 104 to 150bhp.
Just three years later the fourth generation Prelude was made available, this time with the most drastic redesign of the car's body since the first generation model.
Electronically controlled four wheel steering became the norm and more powerful VTEC engines were introduced, upping the power available once more.
The fifth and final generation of the Honda Prelude entered the market in 1997, now featuring larger alloy wheels and a range of engines rated about the 2.0 litre mark.
The rounded-off front end design of the fourth generation was ditched, with this new model reverting to a slightly more angular body shape that had more in common with the first three Preludes.
Despite the fact that the Prelude remained a well known car throughout its lifespan, it was not actually that big of a seller, with just over 800,000 sold during its 23 year run.
However, it is fondly remembered by many enthusiasts even if it is not the most popular of Honda's products.

Shirley Caesar recruits youngsters for new album
By Jonathan Landrum Jr.
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Shirley Caesar used to refuse to infuse contemporary styles with her traditional gospel sound, but now the 11-time Grammy winner and pastor has changed her stance.
Caesar, who is known as the "Queen of Gospel," is singing to a different tune on her new solo album, "Good God," released last week. It's been four years since she dropped an album, giving her time to embrace a new musical approach.
The 74-year-old brought on up-and-comers such as Kurt Carr and James Fortune as producers to weave a modern, radio-friendly style into her sound.
Caesar sat down with The Associated Press recently to talk about her resurgence in gospel, how she bounced back after a slumping economy and her thoughts on the direction of gospel music.
AP: You have recorded more than 40 albums and have had a traditional sound on all of them. What compelled you to switch up the vibe on your new album?
Caesar: Songs that made me popular like 'Hold My Mule' and 'Drive Your Mama Away' — they were good for me in that season. I still sing them today, but that's not the kind of gospel that radio is pushing now. I had to listen to what's going on now, and pick up on it.
AP: How were you able to stay current?
Caesar: I finally started to watch what everybody else is doing, what they are playing and not playing. Then I had to try my best to be right down the middle of the road. ... I had to start singing with younger singers, having young producers like Kurt Carr and a writer like James Fortune. Because of it, I'm able to stay current.
AP: You've said in the past that you didn't understand the contemporary gospel style. Since you have worked with newbie gospel artists, what do you think of the genre's direction now?
Caesar: I think they are awesome. There are more young men singing today. Before, women kind of dominated. Now young men are doing it. I like where it's going.
AP: The economy was slumping around the time you released "A City Called Heaven" in 2009. How did that affect you?
Caesar: At first, it was hard. No concerts. The offerings at the church dropped, my tithes dropped. Then all of a sudden God turned things around. He has turned it around. I'm so grateful. I'm getting so many calls now for dates to come and sing. ... And I'm not talking about cheap dates. I'm talking about big dates.
AP: You've been more active lately, like with your appearance on BET's "Celebration of Gospel." What do you attribute to your resurgence?
Caesar: I believe God has given me another chance. He's not a God of a second chance, but a God of another chance because I've used up my second, third and so forth. ... When a man's ways pleases God, even his enemy could be at peace with him. Whatever the enemy is, God says he'll turn it around.
AP: What steps did you take to stay faithful?
Caesar: I had to be obedient, and God knows I'm willing to be a voice in the community. I know that a lot of the older singers like myself won't be on top forever, so you have to prepare for war in the time of peace.
AP: How long do you think you'll be performing?
Caesar: I tell the young folk that every time you look over your shoulder, you're going to see me. I ain't going nowhere — until the Lord says so.

By Andrew Barksdale Staff writer
A $45 million parks referendum in Fayetteville has cleared another hurdle.
The City Council voted 5-3 on Monday night to approve a resolution needed to hold a citywide vote on Feb. 26.
Voters will be asked whether they want the city to borrow $45million to pay for various recreation projects, including new pools, parks, tennis courts, ball fields and skateboarding parks. The linchpin of the bond package, which totals $55.6 million with city reserves, is a field house that would have indoor pools and a senior center.
Voting for the resolution were Mayor Tony Chavonne, Mayor Pro Tem Jim Arp, Kady-Ann Davy, Robert Massey and Bobby Hurst.
Voting against the resolution were Val Applewhite, Keith Bates and Wade Fowler, who have all raised concerns about the bond package, some of the projects, the potential tax increase and the city's cost for having a special election.
Absent on council were D.J. Haire, who is recovering from hip-replacement surgery, and Bill Crisp, who was out of town. Chavonne said Haire was doing well in his recovery and hoped to return in November.
The Local Government Commission, which reviews plans to borrow money, will be asked to approve the city's request to hold the referendum for general-obligation bond debt.
If approved by voters, the city would raise property taxes next summer by 2.25 cents per $100 of valuation. The city's current property tax rate is 45.6 cents. Such an increase would cost the owner of a $150,000 home about $34 more in annual city taxes.
City Manager Ted Voorhees said the issue will come back for a public hearing Nov. 26, when the council will be asked again to approve a bond order. This will be the final vote, he said. The council first voted 6-4 in July in favor of holding the referendum.
One Fayetteville resident, Jerry Reinoehl, told the council Monday during its public forum he was against the bond package because of the weak economy.
"I believe that it is irresponsible for any legislative body to consider increasing taxes during these uncertain times," said Reinoehl, 67.
Proponents such as the mayor have said the city has fallen woefully behind in providing parks and recreation facilities.
In other business, the council:
Voted 6-2, with Applewhite and Bates dissenting, to form a sister city partnership with Dimona, Israel. The council heard mixed opinions on the issue during a public hearing.
Failed to agree on whether to use eminent domain to acquire land where the city has planned to develop a commercial area at Gillespie and Blount streets. The city set aside $1 million to acquire the land as a condition of getting a $20 million federal Hope VI grant in 2008 to rebuild nearby public housing. The city has acquired about half of the property.
The council voted on the issue three times Monday, failing to reach a consensus each time, so the city's plans to acquire the rest of the property totaling 18 parcels have stalled.
After the meeting, Voorhees said staff will review options and come back with alternative proposals for land acquisition.

Gov. Deval Patrick signed legislation on Wednesday that means 17-year-olds will now be treated as juveniles in the Massachusetts criminal justice system.
Massachusetts became the 39th state to classify people under the age of 18 as juveniles, reported MassLive. Previously, 17-year-olds were tried as adults.

Under the new law, 17-year-olds who are arrested will face a juvenile court judge. That judge can still impose an adult sentence for certain more serious crimes.
In addition, 17-year-olds will be under the custody of the state Department of Youth Services rather than being sent to an adult prison or jail.
"This is more than just common sense; this is an important and much-needed change that ensures 17-year-olds are placed in a more effective rehabilitative setting," said Massachusetts Bar Association Chief Legal Counsel and Chief Operating Officer Martin W. Healy.
The MBA said the new law aligns "with virtually every other area of law in Massachusetts that sets 18 as the age of adulthood. The age of 18 is required for voting, entering into legally binding contracts and jury service."

- Airtime
- Think of a radio station. Airtime is software that allows multiple people to run it over the internet. Airtime helps them manage the audio archive, upload files, create shows, manage staff, edit the programme calendar and cue playout. Designed specifically for independent media, it's free software.
- Ardour
- Ardour is a professional multitrack/multichannel audio recorder and DAW for GNU/Linux, using ALSA-supported audio interfaces. It supports up to 32 bit samples, 24+ channels at up to 96kHz, full MMC control, a non-destructive, non-linear editor, and LADSPA plugins.
- Audacity
- Audacity is a cross-platform multitrack audio editor that lets you record sounds directly or import Ogg, WAV, AIFF, AU, IRCAM, or MP3 files. It features a few simple effects, all of the editing features you should need, and unlimited undo. The GUI is built with wxWidgets and the audio I/O currently uses PortAudio.
- Audio-Convert
- audio convert is a script that converts between WAV, Ogg, MP3, MPC, FLAC, APE, and WMA files. It has an easy-to-use interface that makes it possible to fill in the tags for a few formats and choose the quality of compression. The script was initially designed for the Nautilus file browser and can be easily installed into Nautilus by copying it to the nautilus-scripts directory. You can then right-click on files and choose "audio-convert" from the "scripts" menu. The script is also known to work on rox or directly from a shell.
- Delvj
- DelVj is a tool that provides real-time 3D composition and algorithmic video composition in which the computer composes 3D forms as indicated by the user as a virtual extension of the users mind. It can be given indications for the objects, videos, and effects, and the computer can do the rest. It features a GTK+ interface that runs puredata in the background, controls xmms, and allows tweaking of all patch parameters, recording of videos, and streaming to an Icecast server.
- Dirogg
- dirogg is a script to migrate your entire music collection to the Ogg Vorbis format. It's a recursive script, meaning that you run it from the top level of your music directories, and it will automatically recurse and convert all MP3 files to Ogg.
- Ecasound
- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package.
- The FLAC project consists of:
- the stream format
- reference encoders and decoders in library form
- flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files
- metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files
- input plugins for various music players
FLAC has recently joined the Xiph project, which produces other free codecs such as speex and Ogg Vorbis.
- Flac-jacket
- 'flac-jacket' uses raw audio files (raw files are created from data streams) as the source. Based on the filename format, it first creates lossless audio files, using FLAC, and optionally removes the source files if conversion was successful. It then creates a new html page with links to all new and existing .flac files. The html page is regenerated each run, so the listing is somewhat dynamic: you needn't edit the html page just because you removed or renamed a FLAC audio file or altered an artist directory.
- GNU Songanizer
- Songanizer is a script to organize a directory containing Ogg and MP3 files. The script accepts a list of directories in which the real Ogg and MP3 files reside. It then reads information like author, album, and genre from the files' ID3 tags and creates parallel directory structures which just contain symbolic links real files. The goal is to create virtual directory structures which give different views of the data without having redundant copies of the files themselves.

Yum! I only used 1/2 cup of sugar and that was sweet enough. It makes a large amount and is very, very good. I served with cinnamon ice cream. Yum!
This is a great recipe..very simple, foolproof and delicious..i used 1/2 cup of sugar and will use even less next time..with 18 grams of sugar in the cake mix the apple flavor can be over powered with sweetness.. I'm thinking 2-3 T will be enough to enjoy the taste of the apples.
This was pretty good averall. The only thing we would change is decreasing the sugar to better suit our tastes.
It's so easy and tastes fantastic. Everyone loved it!!
So quick and simple. Best served when warm, right out of the oven. Yum! This dessert will make your family/guest feel like you put alot of effort into a home-baked dessert, when its as easy as 1-2-Don't forget the vanilla ice cream!

Jon Stewart Says He Almost Quit 'The Daily Show': Are You Glad He Didn't?

Jon Stewart has confessed that he once came very close to quitting "The Daily Show." Speaking at the Montclair Film Festival over the weekend, he admitted that he was unimpressed with the show's staff when he arrived in 1999, after replacing Craig Kilborn as the host.
According to Third Beat, Stewart said "what I did not realize is, a lot of the people who worked there were a******s." He talked about initial clashes with executives, saying "I wanted it to be satirical in the classic sense of the word… I walk in the door, into a room with the writers and producers, and the first thing they say is, 'This isn't some MTV b******t'... And then I was told not to change the jokes or improvise. [I told my agent], 'Get me the f**k out of this'. These people are insane."
He said that it took him almost three years to feel comfortable at the show, after the show had experience a severe staff turnover. He has now worked on the show for 13 years. Are you glad he didn't quit?
Top Opinion
Yes, I love Jon Stewart!+26for one thing the guy really is smart. I've seen him go on Fox unscripted and just kick the dogshyt out of O'Reilly and Hannity. I wish Limbaugh would get out the safety of his fart filled radio booth and let Stewart have a swing at him.

+1It's not just the RWNJ that he goes after. It's media that is his target. And not just FOX. He tries to hold media's feet to the fire. Please watch this 12 minute piece that is his closing remarks the the Rally to Restore Sanity in October 2010 and let me know what you think.

- truthzx95 2012/12/13 06:10:50No, he should have quit.+3Stewart is a hack comedian, and a Marxist mouthpiece. I laugh at morons who actually believe his show has political value. It's nothing but extremist, far-left propaganda. I voted he should have quit, but really didn't mean it. I didn't want to confuse some low information liberal into thinking I side with them. I want leftist morons on tv as much as possible. It gives Americans a chance to see how completely unhinged leftists are.
+2You obviously have not watched his show or paid any attention to what he believes. Please take a minute to listen and then tell me what you think of his comments. Does anything he says in this sound marxist?
http://www.examiner.com/video... -
I don't understand what you mean. In this piece he clearly challenges all of us to get along regardless of our differences. In fact he points out how we actually do that "every damn day". His name calling is focused on the media, all of the 24 hour news cycle that hypes everything. This is neither right or left, conservative or liberal. Did you actually listen?
+1I was talking about the negative posters, here on this thread, not Jon Stewart himself. I fear your examples are without impact, people seem to want to embrace their hate and their delusions, and ignore even the most obvious of facts.
I think Stewart is quite sharp, gives fair and insightful interviews, and funny as anyone can be. Sorry for the misunderstanding. As I said before on this thread, Best Show on TV. -
+1Quite the opposite. I, like so many others, have studied the writings of Marx and Engles during philosophy study. while I think it important to know and understand what their ideas were and what marxism is, I disagree with them completely.
But of course you would know that if you had bothered to read my profile, my previous posting, and actually had a working knowledge of what marxism is. -
+1Say what you like but your wrong. I do watch FOX NEWS, some. I also watch msnbc, some. However, I make no pretense of accepting either as an unbiased new source. FOX is in the entertainment business and seeks to program to a specific demographic. They are not the only problem in media but are are surely part of the problem. One must look hard to find a journalist on TV. But, one things for sure, you won't find one on FOX or msnbc.
+1You don;t have to be a FOX lover or hater to recognize their right wing agenda. That;s not to say they do not have a roll to lay, they do. I don't claim they are right, wrong, evil, or sainted. The fact is they are a conservative centered entertainment network. The following is from a broadcast today:
"Speaking live on Fox News, Mike Huckabee said that this shooting happened because "we've systematically removed God from our schools." He added, "Maybe we ought to let [God] in on the front end, and we wouldn't have to call him to show up when it's all said and done."
Whether or not Mr. Huckabee is right or wrong is another debate. Choosing to air his comments is not journalism. It's catering to the network's target audience and politicizing a tragic event that is news that cries out for a journalist. - Rude&Reckless 2012/12/13 06:01:25Yes, I love Jon Stewart!Regardless of how I feel about his comedy or political beliefs, it definitely shows some real perseverance for him to stick around and try to reconcile the differences between him and his staff. Most people in showbiz would call it quits the second they find out they can't get their way all the time. I got loads of respect for the dude.

Oh hey, didn't see you there.
I'm Bluuper (but you can call me Josh) and I'm a university student living in Cambridge. I've read a lot of blogs during my time on the internet and I always used to think that this introductory post would be the easiest one to do.
Turns out it's not.
I'm studying Writing and English at Anglia Ruskin University and I'm a tad keen on being a novelist someday. (My favourite drink is Coke, just in case you were wondering). Nerds come thick and fast on the internet, and I've just got to say that I'm one of them. I enjoy the entire spectrum of nerdisms (making that a word) from videogames to sci-fi.
But Josh! Why in the world did you want to start a blog? I can hear you yelling that at your computer screens right now. (You might want to stop, I don't think that's healthy).
Well, there a number of reasons. I often have these little ideas that pop into my head that I want to talk about and the only place that seems fit for these ideas is a blog. (Plus there are those times when I'm stuck somewhere and I just want to rant for a little bit). I've dabbled in blogging before but that was when I was much younger and probably much less interesting. (My favourite band? Reel Big Fish).
So yeah, this is my blog and I hope you enjoy it. I hope I enjoy it too.
Keep those mice clicking!
(And my favourite food is spaghetti bolognese).

Programmable Nanostructured Biomaterials for Neuronal Growth
Project Collaborator:
Figure 1. (A) Nanogel particles functionalized with (B) amine, thiol and copper chelating groups (vinylbenzyl-iminodiacetic acid, VBIDA). (C) VBIDA at different surface concentrations, enabling binding of histidine-containing peptides. (Di-iii) patterned RGDS at no (i), high (ii), or medium concentration (iii).
Developing materials that can direct cellular behavior such as growth, differentiation and cell-cell communication is an area of active biomedical research. For example, restoring injured nerve tissue may be achieved via interface with synthetic biomaterials, that can be actively directed via external stimuli to yield desirable cellular response.
Based on the fact that the factors affecting cellular behavior (cell-surface receptors, carbohydrate clusters, lipid rafts) are mostly organized at nanoscale, we will develop novel hydrogel nanoparticles with topological chemical and biological attributes. These smart attributes upon presentation on a nanometer scale, would interact with neuronal cells causing changes in cellular behavior. Once synthesized, we will examine axon extension in neurons interfaced with these nanostructured biomaterials as axon extension is critical during neuronal outgrowth to reach post-synaptic targets.

NomZ and I are fortunate to work for the best company in the business, Serious Nutrition Solutions, and what better way to show just what our products can do but run a joint training log. The beauty of this log is that we are both in to competitions, but said competitions are quite opposite. NomZ is a promising powerlifter, and I am just getting in to Physique competitions. I recently participated in a local show and it was an amazing experience, and it's given me new motivation to kill it this offseason. NomZ will be in shortly to give his background. Both of us use some of the same staples, but we differ in a few areas for other supplements. Because SNS' line is so diverse we have a pleathora of options in what we can use depending on the aid we seek. We will document everything from the supplements we're using, our diet, our training, and any other random stuff we think pertinent. We hope to make this log both extremely informative and interesting. Tag along with us as we stay motivated during this offseason!

GIMP 2.8 Released
Joshua Dickerson:
Wow, it looks a lot better with features that will make it much easier to use. How do you feel about Gimp 2.8?
I usually wait for the portable version but I find in general GIMP makes simple tasks too complicated.
ChalkCat @Christmas:
When I look at the website I only see v.2.6.12 as the latest stable version and 2.8 as a release candidate - am I missing something?
Grumpy Old Sod:
Ya not priviledged enough lol
Joshua Dickerson:
"We are happy to announce immediate availability of GIMP 2.8 — a new stable version of GNU Image Manipulation Program that culminates 3.5 years of exciting work."

Embrey Human Rights Program
The Embrey Human Rights Program has launched a human rights award entitled Triumph of the Spirit. To learn more about the award or submit a nomination, click here.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the establishment of the United Nations in 1945 and the end of the Cold War, human rights has become one of the most powerful and important subjects in academic discourse. Recent human rights issues occur in diverse places such as Syria, Tibet, Bosnia, South Sudan. The United States is not immune to human rights abuses either; close to home, human rights issues occur in Guantanamo Bay and New Orleans. The scope of human rights violations is wide, covering subjects such as the death penalty, hate crimes, genocide, torture, mass murder and crimes against women, galvanizing scholars and students throughout academia.
At SMU, students gain the skills, education and training to make a difference in harsh realities and take a stand where there's injustice. They participate in various human rights trips around the world. Their journeys honor victims of unimaginable horrors and serve as reminders that the human spirit is capable of enduring and vanquishing mankind's worst deeds.
We have the responsibility to try to prevent human rights atrocities from happening. We must see our lives as inextricably linked to both the past and the future, so that all peoples, individually and collectively, can live with dignity.
Saturday, November 30th @ 6:00 p.m. / Meet at the Kennedy Memorial in downtown Dallas to join the worldwide Cities for Life Action to end Texas executions. Bring your flashlight to shine a light as participants light up the Kennedy Memorial and the Old Red Courthouse. For information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thursday, December 5th @ 6:30 p.m. / The Dallas Holocaust Museum Center for Education and Tolerance presents The Rise and Fall of the KKK and Why There is Still Hope for Its Demise: A lecture by Dr. Natalie Ring, Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas at Dallas and author of The Problem South: Region, Empire and the New Liberal State, 1880-1930.

One of two brothers charged with inflicting life-threatening stab wounds on a man during a large brawl outside the WildStyle Motorcycle Club in downtown New London last fall pleaded guilty Thursday in New London Superior Court.
Jose Roman, 35, of Waterford, will be sentenced Dec. 4 to up to four years in prison for accessory to first-degree assault. Charges are pending against 32-year-old Juan Roman of Waterford, and both brothers remain incarcerated.
The victim, whose intestines were bulging from his abdomen after he was stabbed, identified the two brothers as his attackers, according to police. The Romans were the president and vice president of the now-shuttered WildStyle Motorcycle Club at 130 Bank St.
Two other brothers, Robert Marin and Donte Marin, had pleaded no contest to attacking another man during the brawl and are scheduled to be sentenced in October.
Do you think the U.S. should strike Syria for the alleged deadly chemical weapons attack?

Last summer we had two college kids selling a supplier. We'd gone over it but figured we had the 3…Read Mored ay out of a contract. Plus we felt for the kids (money in the bank for sleaze balls). When we really scrutinized we found a couple of things not to our liking so we called them. No answer. Then we went online to see if we could get some info. Boy oh boy did we ever! We had to send two registered letters plus enlist the help of the consumer dept of both utilities. So even if you don't read it just Google it. A lot safer I think.

I originally posted this in the thread Valdez posted a while back to ask for any donations for his buddy, but I thought I'd give it its own thread!
My brother in law, Jeff, is a Sergeant First Class in the Army Rangers and is currently on deployment in Afghanistan for what will be his 11th or 12th tour overseas. He just left the states yesterday. I will be putting together a care package of kick ass supplements for him to share with his guys over there! I'll be sending stuff on my own, and Howwedo from PNI has pledged his personal support as well. I'd love anything and everything that we can send out there to show them they're not forgotten when they're not home. Let's give them something to be excited about in the world of chaos that they'll be in for the next several months.
I will be sending ut a package myself by the end of the month, but I can provide the APO to any company that would wish to send their donation directly to him.
It would mean so much to me for any help I can get, Jeff is a great guy and a dedicated soldier.
Thanks guys!

Why You Need A Mobile Center Of Excellence
To balance the needs of your business to build mobile apps against the technology requirements to service those apps, you need some kind of organization to marshal your efforts. Those ready for an enterprise strategy need a mobile "center of excellence."
Research from Forrester's CIO Mobile Engagement Playbook defines a mobile center of excellence as a coordinating force majeure, comprising approximately 25 to 100 technology and business staff under the leadership of a senior executive and a supporting mobile architecture council. Firms like GE have mobile centers of excellence and are executing full tilt to bring mobile to fruition through a commitment to the user experience in design, framework development, analytics support, supplier management and application development. It is also the place where new mobile experiences are identified and celebrated.
[ Can your company meet its mobile app development challenges? Read 9 Challenges To Your Mobile App Strategy. ]
If your firm's commitment to mobility is strategic and enterprise-wide, now is the time to create a mobile center of excellence. As this group comes together and starts functioning, you will find that it quickly picks up momentum as your mobile app adds analytics, social connections, public cloud services and deeper links into content and systems of record. To shift the company's thinking away from small Web or screen-scraped SAP -- systems, applications and products -- this group must do five things:
1. Focus On The User Experience -- Not Just On The User Interface.
2. Adopt Rapid-Release, Agile Development Processes.
Mobile apps fronting systems of engagement are "products" that demand a rapid response to business requirements and feedback. As such, mobile product owners set the schedule and the pace of improvement, often weekly for HTML5 and quarterly for native apps.
If IT still uses laborious waterfall development processes, now is the time to make "design for mobile first!" the call to action to adopt agile processes. For example, FedEx moved from waterfall to agile in order to build its package status notification mobile app. The result: Cycle time shrank from a year and a half to three months.
3. Use Systems Of Engagement To Create New Business Offerings.
Once a core capability is exposed through a mobile app, it's also available to be used in smart products or a new service from the company or a partner. For example, South African bank Absa first built a mobile payments app. That capability then drove a change in its business offerings to embed the mobile payment service inside partners' offerings; for example, to sell prepaid home energy and consumer mobile cards. Similarly, firms can redeploy an engagement system to serve a new product or market. Pixar has done this with its RenderMan video rendering cloud service hosted on Microsoft's Azure platform, thus making it available to independent animated film directors.
4. Fund Back-End Investments From Mobile Project Budgets. Dealing with the scale, complexity and time horizons of the back-end rework will require a new funding approach as the investment needed reaches into the tens of millions of dollars. Forrester estimates that the $50,000 to $150,000 that firms are spending to build a customer mobile app today is only 35% of the two-year total cost. The other 65% goes to maintenance and to reconstituting traditional systems. One financial engineering approach taken by a European bank is to fund the capital expenditures by borrowing against the mobile project budgets for the next 12 months.
5. Manage The Ecosystem Of Mobile Partners And Channels.
The rate of innovation coupled with the complexity of the platforms and delivery dictates that firms must corral a stable of solution providers. The mobile center of excellence needs to invest in solution-broker skills to manage these specialists as well as other suppliers in the mobile delivery path. As other business and technology groups will manage many of these suppliers, this will require a strong coordination and liaison focus from vendor management experts.
Ted Schadler and John McCarthy are vice presidents and principal analysts at Forrester Research, serving CIOs.
Ted's description of why strong mobile support is needed inside the enterprise should be heeded by all companies not already providing it. And a crucial buried element of "the user experience," touched upon here, are the public facing APIs that a company produces to grant access to its data and services to outsider developers.Such access must be offered in a highly managed, controlled way. Without good APIs, none of the other moves are going to work as well as they should, API construction remains something of a black art on enterprise development staffs.Charlie Babcock, InformationWeek editor at large

Fashion Accessories for the Motoring Gentleman from GTO London
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Men's Style
Some people are easier to shop for than others. Connoisseurs of fine wines, cognac, whisky, cigars and any of a dozen or more different forms of the finer things in life will be easy to please come the holiday season. Lovers of classic cars – be they owners themselves or simply enthusiasts – have no shortage of gift options available to them as well. Case in point the latest collection from GTO London.
Now those three letters will be immediately recognized by Ferrari fans as having adorned some of the most devastatingly quick vehicles ever produced in Maranello: the '60s-era 250 GTO, the 288 GTO of the '80s and the latest 599 GTO. These accessories for the motoring aficionado may not be licensed by the factory, but they certainly carry the same spirit.
GTO London is an offshoot of GTO Engineering, one of the world's experts in classic Ferrari restoration. Their range includes such items as cufflinks, wallets, tie pins and – suitably enough – keychains, of course. They're crafted from leather, silver, gold and even reclaimed "real Ferrari metal" from GTO's restoration projects.

Someone may have answered this already, but I am wondering if the potatoes for this recipe should be baked FIRST and THEN sauteed...the reason is that my mom always used to make "dill potatoes" where she would first bake completely, cool down, then cut into small pieces and sautee in butter with salt and fresh dill. But the secret is that the potatoes MUST first be cooked in order to really brown nicely. In this recipe, are the potatoes raw? If so, how does that work? Do they really cook this way? Does it take longer?
The potatoes in this recipe/technique are raw and indeed they do cook. When using cooked potatoes the cooking time is obviously shorter as they are already cooked. In this case, you are merely reheating them and giving them more texture etc.
As for "where is the video for this recipe?" there is an entire lesson on this technique in the cooking school called "How to Saute". Cheers!
Here at Rouxbe we are not so much about recipes. We are more about teaching you skills and techniques that will free you from recipes. If you watch the video and then practice sauteing you should be able to make these hash browns without a recipe. Much of the sauteing of these hash browns is also covered in the lesson. Good luck and let us know how it goes for you. Cheers!
Indeed, many recipes do have videos with them, like the ones you mentioned; however there are many recipes that do not need a video once the technique has been learned.
I would suggest that you start going through the cooking school part of Rouxbe and you will see that once you learn the skills and techniques behind cooking that the recipes become less important. At least in a "must always need and/or do what the recipe says" kind of way. Once you know how to really cook recipes, are used more for inspiration and ideas. Hope this makes sense. Cheers!
Thanks for this simple yet delicious practice recipe. I did this this morning and I added the same size chunks of green pepper. I put it in about 5 minutes into cooking so they wouldn't get done too soon before the potatoes. And best of all I ACTUALLY pan tossed and saw it mix! woo hooo. Up until I started taking these classes thanks to cooking club of America, I would never have even considered trying to make hash browns. Thank you for all of your great ideas. I'm having so much fun in my kitchen now. By the way, this says to season right at the end of the cooking. What is the reason for that?
Taken from Topic 5 of the "How to Saute" lesson. "Starchier foods are often seasoned at the end of the cooking process to prevent the nice, golden crust from softening." Cheers!
Made these this morning simply following the guidelines of the lesson and the text recipe using raw russet potatoes that were beginning to sprout. Yummm! My wife was impressed -- which is a very important component of my cooking!!
As for shredded hash browns that Jude was asking about, I hope you don't mind me sharing my experiences with hash browns. There are probably more, but I have seen and tasted five different styles.
1. My mother used to make the worst fried potatoes ever and then chop them up and refry them to make the worst hash browns ever. (Sorry mom!)
2. leftover cooked potatoes (baked, or boiled), mushed with a fork and seasonings and fried. (Second worst hash browns ever -- sorry mom!)
3. shredded hash browns.
4. hash brown patties (a' la McDonalds)
5. Diced hash browns. (a' la Rouxbe)
I like the shredded hash browns the best of all. I have done them very successfully with both raw and precooked or left over potatoes as long as the cooked potatoes aren't mushy and are stone cold from the refrigerator.
I will detail what I do for raw potatoes:
Step 1: Wash or peel the potatoes
Step 2: Shred and soak shredded potatoes in a large pot of water.
Step 3: Rinse several times until water runs clear
Step 4: Put shredded potatoes into a large strainer, rinse again, and allow to drain completely.
Step 5: While still in the strainer, dry potatoes with a large fan on high speed blowing through the strainer. The drier the potato the better. This should only take a few minutes. The potatoes may begin to turn color a little, but this won't matter as they will soon be crispy and golden. I don't like to squeeze the shredded potato to extract water as I like the shreds to remain completely separate. I want them light and dry.
Step 6: Prepare your stainless steel saute pan following the instructions in this lesson, and add equal amounts of grapeseed oil and butter to the hot pan
Step 7: Add shredded potatoes, toss to coat and then spread to cover the bottom of the pan to a thickness of about 3/8ths of an inch. Follow the same procedures, pan temperatures, etc as described in this lesson from Rouxbe
Step 8: Resist the temptation to stir or saute the hash browns until they have had time to crisp to a golden brown. If the temperature of the pan and the oil/butter is just right, you should be able to flip the entire potato 'pancake' onto its top side in one motion. If the idea terrifies you, then cut into quarters, and flip each quarter with a spatula.
Step 9: Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy
My mother would be proud!
Note: Even if the patty doesn't stay together, you will still end up with deliciously crispy hash browns simply by tossing occasionally and allowing time for the hash browns to come to a golden brown between tosses.
The shredded vs. diced is a matter of debate as has been discussed earlier. Neither need to be par cooked, its a matter of texture preference. If you choose to cook or prefer to eat shredded hash browns I would recommend baking them instead of frying. In a typical dry heat home oven you can get a crusty texture on the surface while maintaining a creamy texture on the remainder of the potatoes, just bake them in a hotel pan or casserole dish at 350 for 15-20 minutes. This works especially well if you prefer your hash browns with cheese and/or cream because you're basically doing a quick au gratin.
The recipe calls for 1/2 " X 1/2 " X 1/2" pieces, but I found it hard to get all of them to be the same size unless was willing to discard some of the potatoe as they were all different sizes etc..., in ordrer to make it a uniform shape before starting to cut.
Am I wrong to think I need to waste some of the potatoe in order to get the uniform size the recipe wants, so all the pieces have the same cooking time?
I have watched the knife skills video, just was trying to waste less if there was something I could be doing differently
You are correct, when cutting ingredients into even sized pieces there is often some waste. However, it is not actual waste. The leftover or uneven pieces can be used in other things, such as soups or stocks (depends what it is really).
Things are cut evenly so they cook evenly and also so they look visually appealing. The more you practice the more comfortable you will become. Also, the more you practice the less you will waste. You will also learn where and when you can use the leftover pieces the more you cook and experiment. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Thanks Dawn
I tried the recipe and it turned out okay but took about 25 minutes to get completely done. most likely due to my uneven size pieces :)
Question: I did not have clarified butter or Grapesee Oil so I just used 2 Tbsp of Vegetable oil as I thought 4 would make the dish too greasy.
I wanted to see what flavour the butter would have added, and I was wondering if I could have used 2 Tbsp of normal butter with the 2 Tbsp of Vegetable Oil to get the smoking point of the Butter up to prevent any burning of the Butter. Would that have worked do you think?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
The ideal potatoes for hash browns are potatoes that are floury. Meaning, potatoes that are high in starch with a low water content. These types of potatoes become fluffy when cooked, which makes them the best choice for frying, roasting, baking, mashing and for things like French fries.
Since there are over 4,000 varieties of potatoes, it's hard to say exactly which potato variety you should use. "Russets" (also called "russet Burbank"), are quite readily available and very common potatoes that would certainly fall into the "floury" or "mealy" category. Hope this helps. Cheers!
This can be challenging. You will need to experiment with this particular ingredient. Maybe try using a bit more fat and keep an eye on the heat, etc. Potatoes that are sweeter/have a higher sugar content are often just harder to pan fry (like sweet potatoes for instance). It can be done, but you just need to keep an eye on them. You also cannot expect the exact same results because you are using a different product. You may need to use other cooking methods that better suit this type of potato. Cheers!
