... got myself a 21" Trey Sawyer and I thought it'd be interesting to look for a suspension fork for it. I'd like to maintain original geometry, so...
G2 geometry
80-100mm travel, I think -- right? For a Sawyer?
I know some folks say "non-G2 forks work fine" but I don't mind keeping it the way Trek intended. What are my best fork options?

Transit agencies spend big on lobbying at state level, study finds
BY STEPHEN DI BENEDETTTO Staff firstname.lastname@example.com June 9, 2011 6:28PM
SPRINGFIELD — Led by Chicago's transit agencies, spending on state lobbying by local governments and other public bodies jumped 14 percent in 2010, according to a report released Thursday by a prominent government watchdog.
The increase to nearly $7.5 million comes at a time when cities and counties are looking to preserve their share of state dollars during an era of austerity at the Capitol.
"Certainly the state budget is a mess, and a lot of municipalities are worried their state taxes might be cut. I think that it's driving a lot of it," said David Morrison, deputy director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, which authored the report.
The Regional Transportation Authority and its service boards, including the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace, made up a sizeable chunk of the $7.5 million total — spending just under $1.03 million on lobbyists. The CTA accounted for more than $370,000 of that transit total.
RTA spokeswoman Diane Palmer argued her agency's lobbying endeavors are necessary to ensuring agencies receive what they need from the state. RTA lobbyists helped pass the $31-billion capital projects bill in 2009 and help defeat sales-tax legislation this year that would have cost millions of dollars a year for RTA and its service boards.
"Federal and state lobbyists that we work with effectively supplement agency staff's advocacy work to advance transit policies and funding that are beneficial to our transit system's 2 million daily riders and our region's economy," Palmer said.
Aside from the RTA and its service boards, the Chicago Board of Education and the City Colleges of Chicago spent the most, doling out $211,000 and $192,000 respectively. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority spent $136,667 on lobbying in Springfield, the group found.
Chicago spent $26,000 on lobbyists, which was the same as in 2009.
Overall, local governments spent $900,000 more on lobbyists from 2009 to 2010, the group reported.
Using the state's open-records law, the organization obtained lobbying contracts from 141 local governments for work performed by 77 lobbying entities between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
The Springfield lobbying firm with the most local government contracts is Illinois Governmental Consulting Group, which was paid more than $379,000 during the period. It represents McPier, Pace, Bridgeview, Norridge and the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
The group wants to see more disclosure, such as revealing contract terms and what lobbyists are paid. Lobbyists now must only disclose how much they spend wining and dining legislators and broadly what topic was discussed.
The group's report can be viewed at www.ilcampaign.org.

Staunton's proud history includes a little-known connection to a group of war heroes who broke the color barrier.
This weekend the city will honor surviving members of the Tuskegee Airmen and a pair of Stauntonians who were part of their ranks. The Tuskegee Airmen made history by fighting two wars at the same time. They fought to become America's first African-American military pilots, and put their skills into service during World War II.
Gypsy Hill Park has a memorial to Captain William Green Jr., a Staunton native who flew 123 missions with the Tuskegee Airmen. Two surviving pilots from that same division will be Staunton on Sunday to share their experiences. The ceremony will feature music and a color guard ceremony all to highlight the airmen's sacrifice.
Rita Wilson of the event committee said, "Our young people need to know what it was back in those days to break the color barrier because these guys had to get their own unit. It was segregated. They were not recognized. And when the recognition finally came, people found out how great they were."
The event will also honor mechanic Ralph Davis whose work kept the airmen in the sky, and whose son still lives in Staunton. The event begins at 1:30 Sunday afternoon at the Gypsy Hill Park gymnasium.
There's no admission fee but volunteers will accept donations to benefit the Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Foundation.

What a sad little story, but so I am gripped by it. How terrible for little Patricia and her family, but spare a thought for the poor little girl that was with her. How terrified she must have been?! Shirls |
Janet 693215 | Report | 10 Aug 2007 09:18 |
I wonder if Patricia was born at Woolwich because her father was based at the barracks there? |
Pauline | Report | 10 Aug 2007 09:38 |
There is also another possibility with regard to her father's occupation. Many men who lived along the banks of the Thames were involved with the shipping and therefore in reserve occupations. It was preferred that these men didnot enlist but stayed in there jobs because the shipping was vital. My father worked for the Port of London Authority and had to stay in his job. Just another thought. |

Hi Paul and Everyone, I am caught up with this sad tale and have found the marriage of Patricia's parents. William Armstrong married Henrietta M Wilson AMJ 1933 Woolwich 1d 2308. Now I will search for siblings Keep up the great work Paul and All, Joan |
Joan | Report | 10 Aug 2007 14:36 |
Have checked for siblings 1935 and 1936. None show in Woolwich, although Armstrong seems to be popular in the North East. Joan |
Joan | Report | 10 Aug 2007 14:46 |
None in 1937 either. Joan |

Could be that he died (as a civilian) shortly after his daughter was born and therefore no other children? People could have assumed that as the mother was a widow that he was killed in the War but it might have been before then. I wonder what became of her and whether she ever remarried and found some happiness? |
Paul | Report | 10 Aug 2007 17:48 |
Hi All, Many thanks to Bo who kindly bought Patricia's birth certificate and has posted the details. A very big thank you for sending me a copy of it. There should be a number of clues in it. 1) Ex gunner RA. Royal Artillery? If so would not have likely been in the RAF 2. Name is still given as William Armstrong just as in the marriage index. No middle name 3. Know for certain that Henrietta was Patricia's mum and as already posted was born 1912 , Wilson, Henrietta Potts Poplar 1c 880 4. Trawled through the Death Index on Ancestry from Jan 1933 to Dec 1943 and can find no record of a death of a William Armstrong. 5. Contacted Cardiff & The Vale Coroner's Office and ask if I could obtain a copy of the Inquest Report. They advised me to speak with the Glamorgan Records Office. Unfortunately GRO do not have any copies of inquest reports prior to about 1952. Looks like it's going to be a trudge through the newspapers. Bye for now Paul |
Paul Barton, Special Agent | Report | 10 Aug 2007 17:51 |
A regular soldier who had done his time in the 1930's would have been called up as a reservist in the second World War. Therefore he may well have died in France in 1940 or maybe in the Western Desert after 1940. The earlier suggestion about being based at Woolwich is a good one if he was an artilleryman. |

Apparently the overlap between indie rock fans and fans of the Simon Cowell-produced X Factor is tiny, because otherwise, we would have heard about this by now: Apparently, Willis Earl Beal, recent blog hype, was on the U.S. version of the show last year, and made it to the "bootcamp" round of auditions. There's video proof of it and everything: He talks about wanting tacos, and makes jokes about wanting to be menacing, and seems to be doing the whole thing as part of a performance art joke. He then says he's in the contest to try to prove that a real artist could come out of a contest like X Factor. Point proven.
Beal's XL debut is out on April 3.

Lipps Inc, consisting of writer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Steven Greenberg and lead vocalist/saxophonist/former Miss Black Minnesota Cynthia Johnson, released "Funkytown" on February 18, 1980. The single topped the U.S. Hot Billboard 100 for four weeks and peaked at #2 on the U.K. Singles Chart. The record also hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Music/Club Play Singles Chart and #2 on the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles Chart.
Supposedly, New York City is the "funkytown" referred to in the song, as Greenberg longed to move from Minneapolis to the Big Apple, where everything was happening. He later went on to become A&R Vice President for Mercury Records and signed Hanson. When he became head of S-Curve Records, he signed Joss Stone and the Baha Men.
Australian band Pseduo Echo released a cover, retitled "Funky Town," on December 15, 1986. Their version reached #6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play, #8 on the U.K. Singles Chart, and topped the Australian Singles Chart. The Pseduo Echo version is rock-infused and removed most of the disco elements of the original Lipps Inc. recording.
Lipps Inc Versions
Funkytown [7″ Version/Single Version] 3'57
Funkytown [Album Version/12″ Version] 7'51
Pseduo Echo Versions
Funky Town [Single Version/LP Version] 3'40
Funky Town [Album Version] 4'53
Funky Town [Dance Mix] 6'36
Funky Town [Funky House Mix] 5'25
Funky Town [Funky Club Mix] 6'05
Funky Town [Funky Vocal Mix] 6'10
""Funkytown" by Lipps Inc.
""Funky Town [Dance Mix]" by Pseudo Echo
Music Video
Cynthia Johnson performs "Funkytown" in a club with backing dancers/vocalists in a club for Lipps Inc.'s music video for "Funkytown."
The music video for Pseduo Echo's cover of "Funky Town" is a performance of the song in concert.
When I was in the sixth grade, "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. was all over the radio in Waco, Texas. It reminded me of the scenes in the movie Buck Rogers in the 25th Century where Gil Gerard gets down with Twiki on the dance floor. "Funkytown" and "Call Me" by Blondie were my favorite songs at the time, and I would demand my mother or older sister turn them up. For some reason, though, I never bought the record.
I remember being surprised when I heard Pseudo Echo's "Funky Town." It was different, but I liked the modern (at the time) sound of it. I recall thinking how odd that I was old enough for a band to cover a song from my youth–just seven years prior.
What are your memories of "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc.? Or "Funky Town" by Pseduo Echo?


text: I made this for my granddaughter, Adalyn's 3rd birthday. She really liked the Elmo card I made for her last year. The card base is Real Red. Elmo was made by punching with the large scallop circle punch, then I put it on a sticky note, and punched again, staggering the scallops. The polka dot squares are from the Polka Dot Parade designer series paper, on page 164, of the big Stampin'Up! Catalog. You get 6 different colors, and all polka dots on one side, or dotted circles on the other side. The colors of these polka dots are Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive. The sentiment is from the Perfectly Penned stamp set, page 132. I used different punches for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and finished the eyes with the gel pen.

Georgia State, UC Irvine, Northern Arizona, Furman and the Falcons will participate in the two-day event. The Falcons are off to a slow start, opening the season with seven consecutive losses. They expect to snap that streak this weekend. "I am confident in our ability to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season," head coach Penny Lucas-White said. "We are working hard and expect to be successful this weekend." Several of the Falcons players are having great seasons. Tiffany Bishop leads the team in blocks and was named to the all-tournament team at the Fresno State Invitational. Delavane Diaz leads the team in both kills (4.5 p/g) and digs (4.0 p/g). She was on the all-tournament team at the Bobcat Classic, the team's first tournament of the year. Only two of the five tournament teams have winning records. UC Irvine is 2-1 and Furman is 4-3. Georgia State is 4-5 overall, while the Lumberjacks are off to a 2-4 start.

Ofsted chief's stark warning over schools standards in England
More than two million children are still not getting a decent education, and a child's chance of attending a good school is often too dependent on where they live, Ofsted has warned.
Its annual report shows that there have been improvements in the last few years, with 70% of schools now rated good or outstanding compared to 64% five years ago.
But Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw said there are stark inequalities in England's education system which is not good enough and it must do better.
The inequities are stark.
Why is it that a child living in Derby or Doncaster local authority areas has only half the chance of attending a good or better primary or secondary school compared with a child living in Wigan or Darlington?
Why is it that Coventry has a smaller proportion of pupils attending good or better primary schools than any local authority area in the country? Do parents realise this? What is being done about it?"
– DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION SPOKESMANSir Michael is right that standards in some local authorities are simply not good enough. There are still too many schools that do not provide a good enough education. We make no apology for introducing reforms to drive up standards in schools.
ITV News reporter Martha Fairlie reports.
The report revealed which top five local authorities have a high or low number of schools falling above or below the good and excellent mark in England.
- Top five
- Camden (92%)
- Barnet (91%)
- Richmond upon Thames (90%)
- Sefton (90%)
- Trafford (90%)
Bottom five:
- Coventry (42%)
- Derby (43%)
- Thurrock (49%)
- Wakefield (52%)
- Telford and Wrekin (53%)
– COUNCILLOR DAVID SIMMONDS, CHAIRMAN OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION'S CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE BOARDCouncils want to intervene more quickly, but decades of giving schools 'greater freedom' and 'protecting' them from council interference means that local authorities now have very indirect and bureaucratic ways to tackle poor performance and improve schools which are based on intervention driven by Whitehall, not flexible local arrangements.
Ironically, the Government and academy chains have more direct power than councils to quickly turn around under-performing schools.

Aug 25, 2011Limbo is simply one of the most impressive titles that PSN has to offer, and at $15, it's an experience that no gamer should pass up. [Oct 2011, p.80]
Jul 27, 2011When it was released in 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade, Limbo had everything of the absolute video game gem. A year later, its charms are stronger than ever. Wrapped in its simple yet elegant visuals, with a unique atmosphere, this platformer will challenge your sense of observation, your wits, and your brains... without forgetting to twinkle your emotions. A masterpiece yesterday, a masterpiece today.
Jul 26, 2011If someone ever tells you videogames aren't art, strap them to a chair and make them play Limbo. Yes, it's that perfect.
Jul 20, 2011LIMBO keeps you sucked into its bleak, grim universe with unique puzzles, simple controls, and an approach to game design Playdead calls "trial and death" gaming for long enough to be effective, but certainly leaves some length to be desired.
Jul 27, 2011A design masterpiece that is always challenging us in a different way, combining simple platforming, puzzle and action, and with an oustanding visual design.
Sep 16, 2011Oozing atmosphere and filled with deliriously evil puzzles, it's a beautifully crafted game that becomes impossible to put down. [Issue#209, p.98]
Aug 3, 201140% substance, 60% style, Limbo is an engrossing puzzle game and one of the highlights of PSN games this year.
Jul 27, 2011It's the experience of playing the game that demands attention, because there is very little quite like it. It's a strange and unusual game that plays in a familiar manner to explore an unfamiliar world, and it's worth exploring. As long as you don't mind dying a few times to get there.
Jul 25, 2011LIMBO is stunning.
Jul 21, 2011Thoughtful puzzles and striking aesthetics make Limbo a cerebral adventure you must experience.
Jul 20, 2011An incredible achievement. Very few games are as original, atmospheric, and consistently brilliant. It belongs in everybody's collection. The journey may be over too quickly, but you will be entertained every minute. This is one of my favorite games.
Jul 19, 2011Limbo is one of those games that just begs to be played.
Jul 19, 2011Regardless, LIMBO is an excellent title that PlayDead Studios should be proud of. It's a strong game that hopefully won't be overlooked because it's an "indie" project that doesn't feature a lot of explosions or guns. It's a title that, given half a chance, will both impress and disturb you.
Aug 1, 2011Limbo is a game with a great atmosphere and a fine style. The gameplay is original and different than usual and also challenging. The puzzles are really simple, but it can be hard to figure out what the solution is. The game is also a bit short.
Jul 22, 2011It's one of these games that can be instant classics. It's addictive, dying even more motivates you and it's simply one of the best games you can get via PSN.
Sep 1, 2011Limbo's tortures can be hard to take, but nevertheless the game's a joy to play. [Oct 2011, p.102]
Aug 9, 2011Limbo is worth experiencing for the atmosphere alone, this little child´s world is an amazing place to get engaged. Aside of an obvious lack of complexity in its gameplay side this is one of the most artistic achievements you will see for years.
Aug 18, 2011Limbo is a game worth playing, that much is for certain. I wouldn't recommend it as a purchase to those who have already played the title before, but if you have yet to experience what it's like walking through the darkness of a world that wants to see you dead, then give it a shot
Sep 25, 2011There are no hints, no HUD, just lots of physics puzzles to be solved. [Nov 2011, p.93]
Sep 5, 2011A truly artistic and brilliant piece of design. [Oct 2011, p.112]
Jul 27, 2011So while Limbo isn't quite the mind-blowing experience others have made it out to be, I think its unique visual style is certainly worth checking out.

Whilst the immediate future of Arrium (formerly OneSteel) remains unclear following the latest announcement of a takeover offer from a consortium involving Korean steelmaking giant POSCO and commodities trader Noble Group, one thing is for certain: from a mergers and acquisitions perspective, one of the largest steel manufacturing companies in Australia is now in play.
On Monday, Arrium announced that it had rejected an unsolicited acquisition proposal from the consortium, which calls itself Steelmakers Australia, to acquire all the shares in the company.
On the face of it, there is almost no hope of this proposal succeeding in its current form. At an indicative price of $0.75, the offer represents a premium of just 8 percent compared with the volume weighted average price of Arrium's shares during the last three months – an abysmal amount in a change of control context, especially given that sellers would be exiting at the low point of the manufacturing and construction cycles (albeit at the high point of the mining cycle, of which Arrium has considerable exposure). Besides, the offer lists a string of conditions which make it highly uncertain that the transaction would go through anyway.
Indeed, chances are, the Koreans launched this offer simply as an opening shot in what could be an interesting battle. This bid may well be designed as a low-ball test to see which other potential suitors now come out of the woodwork.
So, would a takeover have of Arrium have any significant implications for its customers inconstruction and manufacturing?
Probably not. A casual glance at the company's share registry reveals it is already mostly foreign owned, so any fears about it falling into foreign hands are a moot point. And whilst POSCO may be trying to take a competitor out of the market, the firm, like many of its other Korean counterparts in other industries (Samsung, Hyundai, LG, Kia, etc.) is well regarded in international circles. A POSCO owned Arrium would serve the Australian market well.
Indeed, probably the biggest fear would be not Korean ownership but an ensuring battle which sees an eventual takeover by a state-owned firm from China.
For now, the future of Arrium remains uncertain. What is certain is that the company is now in play.

When my daughter and I arrived - the greeting from the receptionist was great. On our way to our room we noticed the side door ajared - the hotel is right off the highway. Our room was right next door to this door that was ajared...I went to the receptionist and told her we did not feel safe b/c of the door opened.. she moved us to the 3rd floor. Once we got to the 3rd floor, the door was too small for the door space so you could see in (like in a bathroom stall) - the top lock did not have its latch - we had NO hot water....We sucked it up b/c we paid for it and made sure that the lock worked even though of the problems- needless to say we both didn't sleep, we felt very unsafe. I was traveling with my daughter. ...

text: Dear IMS-QTI users, I have been trying to find readily available QTI packages to download in order to test different learning environments such as ATutor[0]. I had hoped to find an entry pointing to freely available packages somewhere in their FAQ or documentation; this came to nothing. I consulted the impressive list that the JIS CETIS wiki[1] offers, but apart from dozens of abbreviations with descriptions that try too hard to sound all serious, only a few entries (5 out of ~50) seem to contain *actual* questions. The pity is, of these five, one seems to be just another talky side[2] ("*will* establish"), another[3] is not accesible to parties outside their university, the next[4] features dead-end pdf-papers and, finally, two[5][6] rely heavily on Java and presumably hide their questions in proprietary databases. Surely, this is not the point of defining a plain-text XML-standard like QTI? This seems to be a less than satisfactory state of affairs. I would sincerely appreciate any guidance onto more fruitful soil. On a related side-note: How do I search the mailing-list archives without having to browse it month-by-month in the mailman-archive[7]? Thank you!

Sons of Anarchy: an orgy of swearing, shooting and hugging
Posted: September 8, 2011 Filed under: Culture vulture | Tags: Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal, Kurt Sutter, Maggie Siff, Ron Perlman, Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Titus Welliver 3 Comments »Maggie Siff's deepening frown line is turning into the dermatological equivalent of the San Andreas Fault.
Holy shit, it's the Oirish episode of Sons of Anarchy! Last night 5USA, the armed and (extremely) dangerous Freeview channel, showed the latest episode in Season 3 of Kurt Sutter's testosterone-packed biker drama. Hunky "Jax" Teller (our very own Charlie Hunnam) and his freewheeling gang finally made it to Belfast to rescue his kidnapped baby, Abel.
That's about all I can tell you, because almost everyone in Sons of Anarchy delivers their expletive-ridden dialogue through straggly beards and incomprehensible accents. Jimmy, the scheming IRA gunrunner played by Titus Welliver, definitely sounds more Ballykissangel than Belfast to me. Even Maggie Siff's surgeon-turned-biker-chick Tara has resorted to mumbling, as her deepening frown line turns into the dermatological equivalent of the San Andreas Fault.
Did I mention that this show is extremely violent? Fittingly, 5USA rolled out Season 1 over consecutive nights during Christmas 2010. While everyone else was wrapped in tinsel and gorging on turkey, I was enjoying a wholesome diet of knifings, shootings and vehicular mayhem. For afters, I snacked on Season 1 of Justified, another 5USA import that prefers to shoot first and ask questions later.
Perhaps Season 1 of Sons of Anarchy did go a bit over the top in its efforts to demonstrate just how hard these leather-clad "bros" really are. In the cold light of day that scene in which a tattoo gets the blow-torch removal treatment should have been left on the back burner. But then no one could accuse this show of lacking "cojones". Katey Sagal, who plays Jax's fearsome mother Gemma, would eat The Shield's renegade cop Vic Mackey for breakfast. His cigar-chomping step-father Clay Morrow is none other than Ron "Hellboy" Perlman.
If you're still mourning the loss of The Shield you'll feel right at home in Charming, the fictional California town where the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original is based. (The fitting acronym is SAMCRO.) Like The Shield's Farmington district, Charming suffers from an alarmingly high mortality rate, thanks to the endless turf wars between SAMCRO and its rivals.
I did get a bit bored with Season 2, which opened with the gang rape of Jax's mom and then headed off into territory even darker and more morally compromised than the first series. The show's trademark black humour took a back seat to the noble suffering of Gemma, who spent way too much time hanging round chapels and churches.
But Sons of Anarchy has more pluses than minuses. A brilliant ensemble cast, ridiculous character names ("Chibs", "Piney", "Opie") and a healthy disrespect for the forces of law and order are all good reasons to tune in every week. Then there's the superb opening credits sequence, in which intricately worked tattoos morph into the names of the main cast members.
There's plenty of hugging here, too. In those brief interludes between the blood-letting everyone gets loved up and – sometimes – naked. Then the producers ruin it all with another overlong, mushy musical montage.

Finally got round to watching this (well, S1 anyway) on LoveFIlm, and no matter how tacky and "Bros/Family OR DIE" it got, it was very watchable and moreish. Plus any show that has a woman going through menopause as a plot… gets my vote!
Still not convinced by Jax yet, doesn't seem much of a biker!
[…] aficionados of the badass biker saga Sons of Anarchy will probably wonder what they're complaining about. As SAMCRO President Jax […]

I've just recently purchased the Rockcliff Router plans and plan to build one shortly. The 12X12 base model is a little small for what I'd like to use it for though. I'm curious if it would be possible to lengthen the Y axis on it? I'd definitely like to be able to modify this design shortly and have a 12"X 30"Y and 7"Z.
I've looked at the re size sheet and think that it would be possible. I'm totally new at this but would like to give it a shot.
Hi Bryan
I have just added a comercial version to the plan set using a fully supported bearing that can be streched to any lenght, can you send me your email to insure you have the additional drawings.

About us…
Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others with an instant while observing your own, its not about creating photo memories, its about dissolving one's self in the experience of coincidences. It is straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society.
Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment.
On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with.
Since the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture throughout Europe and North America. We'll explore areas in and around LA for photography based upon various themes or subjects- Social realms, Urban life, Festivals, Holidays, night shooting, etc. Occassionally, also go to see films/ documentaries of some famous photographers to remain inspired, visit galleries, attend presentations, and more. We can exchange information about photography, gear, post-processing, printing, developing, etc. Basic guidance will be given to those who are new to this art but are curious to explore. What kind of street photographer will you be?

"I love the berries
full and sweet
of the scrub bushes,
Mediterranean delights.
…and I love the people,
the people from Tuscany
rough like its wine,
but true
as good and sure is the fruit
in the womb of my land."
This is the end of a poem about Tuscany written by Benedetta Cano. She is the owner and chef of Poggio al Sole in Montepulciano, Tuscany. I attended a cooking lesson taught by Benedetta and was moved to tears by her passion. For the rest of the above poem, you're going to have to travel to Italy and book at least one night and class at Poggio al Sole.
Benedetta is passionate about her heritage, her land, food and cooking. She is passionate about life and that passion is inspiring. Contagious. I am convinced that much of her passion comes from where she lives. Look at that view! Rolling hills, alive with the greenest grass, juiciest grapes, and the freshest wild fennel. A land that not only feeds your body, but also your soul with its natural beauty. If that doesn't drive passion in a person? I wouldn't want to live in that brain.
Francesco, one of our tour guides, explained to us how olive oil used to be made and how everything is so industrial these days that its all done by machine. Benedetta interrupted him to remind him that she still presses her olive oil with an old stone mill and does the rest by hand. This launched them into a very loud and fast debate with thick Italian accents and Italian arms flying through the air while motioning to drive their points home. The best part of this 45 minute debate, a debate that caused the chef to stop cooking, which inevitably delayed our dinner by 45 minutes, was that it wasn't even an argument. Or really a true debate. They were on the same side. Benedetta and Francesco were just so passionately speaking about olive oil production that it consumed them completely. It was amazing. Benedetta's knowledge and passion made this my favorite cooking lesson in Italy.
We made cantucci for dessert that night. Cantucci is the regional name for biscotti. I've researched it briefly and can't find any real difference between cantucci and biscotti, but cantucci is what Benedetta taught us to make, so that is what I'll teach you to make. Traditionally this would be made with 00 (double zero, or doppio zero) flour, the same type of flour that Italians use to make pasta and pizza, whole, blanched, unpeeled almonds and served with brandy. To make these s'mores cantucci I swapped the flour for graham flour (in case you didn't guess by the name, this is the flour used to make graham crackers). You can also use white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour. Instead of a cup of almonds I used a cup of chocolate morsels, but I replaced half the vanilla extract with almond extract to preserve some of that almond cantucci flavor. Marshmallows don't hold up so well when being baked twice, so the toasted marshmallows for this recipe will be your hot cocoa topper. This is the really fun part of the recipe. Take your creme brûlée torch and toast those mini marshmallows! If you have very sturdy mugs, you could also put your hot cocoa under the broiler for a minute to get those 'mallows toasted.
This post is part of my 12 Days of Cocoa, which has apparently become the 12 Sporadic Days of Cocoa instead of all in a row. So what?

Is Celibacy A Higher Calling than Marriage? What is "Consecrated Life"?
In this vein, we may consider marriage to be a good, and consecrated life, a better good. This echoes Paul exhortation to the Corinthians; "So then, he who marries the virgin does good, but he who does not marry her does even better." (1 Cor 7:38). Saint Ambrose, in a treatise on virginity, repeats; "I am comparing good things with good things, that it may be clear which is the more excellent." We must remember too that we are only speaking in an objective sense, and we are assuming each life is lived according to its ideal.
To live "spousally", then, is considered our purpose for entire existence. It is, in fact, a kind of summation of the Scriptures, i.e., God created man out of spousal love, to be united with Him forever. But man committed "adultery", severing his relationship to God. Despite mankind's infidelity, God remained faithful to His bride. Israel continued to "play the Harlot", but God remained faithful to His covenant, his marriage. God then sent His Son, the Bridegroom, to make his reunion back to God possible. (Scripture is replete with this spousal imagery.) As John Paul II points out, this "spousal dimension" can be considered nothing less than the secret to our happiness in this life. After all, if love is the first and greatest commandment, then what greater love can there be than that between Bride and Bridegroom; a love so powerful that the "two become one flesh" and generate third life; a love that is ready to immolate oneself for the beloved? Spousal love is the pinnacle of love; its highest summit. To live spousally is, then, is at the core of the christian life. As Vatican II stated; "man cannot truly find himself except through a sincere gift of himself". This is precisely what it means to live spousally (i.e., giving oneself completely to another; of always doing what is best for the other and for the new life that is generated). A spousal life is always ordered to the generation of new life, wether spiritual or physical. The exortation to "be fruitful and multiply" was not only in terms of biological reproduction, but more importantly, spiritual reproduction. A life that is lived spousally will generate and form new souls to populate heaven. Therefore, a priest can only be a good priest if he lives spousally, that is; as husband and father. Likewise, a nun can only be a good nun if she lives as wife and mother. And so on. This is also why the best priests, are those who would have made the best fathers. As Fr. Thomas Loya once stated, the greatest compliment you can give a nun, is to tell her that she would have made a great mother.
In this sense, each vocation is closely related to each other, since they are simply different paths to the same end; like two sides of a coin. They each are designed to sanctify humanity by different means, and prepare the bride, the church, for her final marriage to God in heaven. We can think of discerning a vocation as like standing at a crossroads, where each path is separate and unique, yet they all eventually arrive at the same point. The path that is most common to men, is earthly marriage, because it is the "primordial sacrament", i.e., it is a kind of mini-incarnation of the spousal love of God on earth. In other words, it is through marriage and the family that most men learn about all the attributes of God; His communial relationship, His fidelity, His exclusivity to the other, His self-sacrifice, His life-generating love, etc.

A friend sent me a link to an article that highlighted the Top 10 Projects ranked by expected spending for the year. It sparked a good conversation between us and as a result, we both reached out to our colleagues to try and do an ad hoc validation of the list. The feedback seemed pretty common and while no one was surprised at the list, they generally felt that it was somewhat out of alignment with the Canadian industry. Here's what the article captured from their 1440 respondants:
* Planned spending of respondents indicating the technology is critical to their organizations.
Source: Baseline Top 10 Projects in 2006 survey (http://www.baselinemag.com/article2/0,1540,1933598,00.asp)
Does this list make sense to you and if not what stands out? For me it was hard to beleive that outsourcing is really number 2. Some of the other people we talked to commented that "data networking really happened in the Canadian large enterpries last year. VOIP did seem to be everyones number 1 or 2 and compliance ranked in the middle. As well, everyone seemed to agree that 2006 IT spend was more about supporting business growth and most importantly controlling costs.
What are your top projects? As we all prefer to learn from our peers, it would be great if you could comment or even guest blog to share your learning's with others on your top projects.
Regards, John

The pair settled the week higher on the back of growing hopes that lawmakers will finally put their differences aside to ensure that at least in the near-term Greece doesn't face solvency crisis. On that note, a source from the Greek finance ministry said international lenders are mulling a EUR 9bln return of ECB profits and up to EUR 8bln in interest rate cut on loans among measures to cut Greek debt. International lenders are also mulling cutting Greek debt by EUR 10bln via debt buyback and extending maturities which if approved by the Eurogroup meeting on Monday could be completed by year-end. Macro data continued to underpin the view that the bloc will likely undergo a prolonged, but a shallow recession. Also, Moody's slashed France credit rating by one notch to Aa1, citing loss of competitiveness. In terms of technical levels, supports are seen at the 21DMA line at 1.2825, 1.2730 and then at 1.2691. On the other hand, resistance levels are seen at 1.2983/96 and then at 1.3021.
The pair settled the week lower after the latest Quarterly Inflation report from the BoE, as well as alarm bell sounding jobs report from the ONS, dampened investor appetite for Sterling. The latest jobs report from the ONS in the UK showed the number of people claiming jobless benefit rose by 10,100 last month, the largest increase since September 2011, that's as a jobs boost from the Olympics continued to fade. The BoE reinforced the fragile nature of economic recovery with the release of the Quarterly Inflation report which revealed the MPC see 'material risk' that growth could be weaker for longer and that new macro forecast show that further stimulus unlikely soon.
The pair settled the week higher as market participants continued to price in the likelihood that the opposition leader Abe, who is expected to win the elections in December, will encourage the central bank to ease monetary policy. In terms of technical levels, supports are seen at 81.65/30 and then 81.14. On the other hand, resistance levels are seen at 82.84/94 and then at 83.00.

Keeper's Boot 1, Striker's Face 0
By: Bob | May 3rd, 2007
If you are wondering what they are talking about in the Argentine papers today – and I know you are – it is the kung fu beat down Velez Sarsfield Gaston Sessa keeper put on the face of Boca Junior's Rodrigo Palacio on Wednesday. Sessa received a red card for his kick, which the papers are describing as "irresponsible craziness", "irrationality" and "coward aggression". I opt to go with "fucking ridiculous". The only possible explanation for why he did it is that Palacio is sleeping with his wife. Fortunately Palacio was not blinded and he will live to see another day.

Student resents ESU's new parking fee
Editor, the Record:
I am a full-time student at East Stroudsburg University. We have just been notified that on top of our tuition that just went up, we now have to pay a $110 parking fee to park on campus.
Many students have been complaining about this the past few days because we have to fight over parking spots to begin with and now we have to pay for it.
It is just ridiculous and another burden put on us students who don't even have a job because our school work and internships take up all our time. The students need to be heard, especially now with this.
