Hi, I can't compile MPICH 220.127.116.11 with the new Intel compiler 8.1. I used to compile it successfully with the ICC 8.0. This is the error message: /usr/intel/intel_cc_80/bin/icc -I. -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-126.96.36.199-8chess/src/fortran/src -I../include -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-18.104.22.168-8chess/src/fortran/include -I.. -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-184.108.40.206-8chess/include -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-184.108.40.206-8chess/icc8/include -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-18.104.22.168-8chess/icc8/mpid/ch_p4 -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-184.108.40.206-8chess/mpid/util -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-18.104.22.168-8chess/mpid/ch_p4 -fPIC -O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -gcc-version=320 -DUSE_SOCKLEN_T -DUSE_U_INT_FOR_XDR -DHAVE_MPICHCONF_H -c /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-188.8.131.52-8chess/src/fortran/src/addressf.c /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mpich-18.104.22.168-8chess/src/fortran/src/addressf.c(25): error: identifier "mpi_address_" is undefined #pragma weak mpi_address_ = pmpi_address_ I think it is related to the weak symbol defination checking. Because when I put the function defination before weak symbol defination, it can be compiled with ICC 8.1. So is there any compiler option or workaround for ICC 8.1, so that I dont need to change the sources? Thanks in advance.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Everything was perfect with this invitation. We didn't have a single misprint. The invitations shipped quickly and we were able to send them out in no time."
"This is a gorgeous invitation. Everyone is commenting on it before they tell me if they will actually attend my event. The paper quality is better than expected. The card stock is heavy, textured and has a very expensive appearance. The colors, green and purple, are bright, vibrant and makes the design come to life. I received my order a few days before they were scheduled to arrive. This was my first order with WPD and I will definitely use them for all of my future invitation and printed paper needs."
"I ordered the Sweetest Topper Bridal Shower Invitation for my future daughter-in-law and couldn't be more pleased. I ordered the smoke color--it is beautiful and the card stock is heavy and durable. The customer service "chat" line helped me make a few changes on the card and the cards arrived a few days earlier than the expected shipping date. I have also ordered rehearsal dinner invitations and cannot wait to see them. This was the first time I ordered with Wedding Paper Divas, but, will definitely use them again and recommend them to others."
"The Domestic Diva invitation was very well liked by all my sister's friends who received it. In fact, in their RSVP email, many of them commented on how awesome it was. I was surprised only because I didn't think it would create that much feedback. The invitation card is almost the same size as a 4x6 photograph, which for us was a tasteful size for a shower invitation. The quality of the paper is excellent along with the envelope. We customized the letter coloring and put her name in RED so that it would stand out and kept all the other info on the invite navy. I couldn't have asked for a better looking invite or a better company to order through. The proof came 2 days after placing the order and the prints by maybe the 4th day after. We are very satisfied customers!"
"The "mustard" color was a concern to me, but I was assured the designers would customize the color for me. That was actually not necessary since I requested a sample and was very pleased with the color as is. I thought the price was very reasonable for the paper- weight and personalized service. Phone personnel were very helpful and attentive. I will definitely use WEDDING PAPER DIVAS again. Mariette"

We put this up in our downstairs powder room & because we converted 2 coat closets as a half bath it is considerably smaller than normal. However, I painted the walls a rich ,coconut milk, cream from Valspar & added a very tiny but accomodating sink from Home Depot. With this light it makes the quaint space feel very chic & regal. The item includes everything you need to affix the item correctly along with extra crystals. I do have to say that applying the crystals to the line on top of affixing them to the base is very tedious. So much so, that my teenage daughter grew impatient with my struggles & offered to complete it all in exchange for an online album LOL. Done deal. It took less than half an hour to have everything up. I do want to emphasize that the crystals do not hang past the base. They are flush with the shade. All in all, a great investment & unregrettable purchase.
This light is in our guest bedroom which has 8 foot ceilings. I wanted flush mount, lots of light and something leaps more chic. Yes you do have to assemble the crystals- which takes some glasses, light and an hour. (I know this because I started and finished with the Ellen Show) Put together it looks just like we took it off an expensive showroom ceiling. It holds enough of a traditional feel but gives this amazing modern twist. It's so nice and bright. I put 4 60w reveal light bulbs in and even my husband was saying WOW. (that says something ladies) Definitely picking up a dimmer for this because it's that bright. The material around the cover isn't so much a material as a thinly spaced string. It sounds odd but creates a nice effect on the ceiling along with all of the crystals. Love it! The light does take two people to install. First I put the crystals on. I left the plastic on the material of the shade and gently took off after installing to avoid messing up the material during instal. Directions are bad- so the one crystal that is already together in the bag goes on the center point of the light. The rest are identical and go on any of the loops on the mirror like base. Also It does matter which end of the wire the Crystals attach to so pay attention to that. Tip: try not to pull apart the round rings that attach the crystals too much. I got lazy and was separating them too much. After the light was up I had a few crystals to reattach. I could have avoided that by just pushing the rings back together more instead of relying on the gap to hold the crystal in place. Once my hubby had the ceiling ready I held the light up while he put the ground / wires on. This is a little tricky with all of the crystals but not overwhelming. This is also when I was thankful to have the plastic on the light since that is exactly where I held the light. Fishing for the two screws that fit into the new light was the most difficult part, but somehow I got lucky. Hubby held the light in place while I screwed on the round silver knobs that hold the light to the ceiling mount. The total time : was one hour to attach crystals and 15 min to mount.
For the price it's fabulous. The crystals are actual glass crystal. Meaning they aren't plastic or something else. They are heavy and clear. They aren't as sparkling as Swarovski or other "high end" crystal BUT they still emit a sparkle nevertheless. The overall effect does NOT look cheap. It looks much more expensive than the listed price. However- when you put it together you can see WHY it's so cheap. BUT when it's all put together you can't tell. It is a pain to assemble. It wouldn't be a pain if you had time, a good movie and a beverage. However I was under a time constraint. The directions are worthless. It does matter which end you "clip" to the large crystal drop and to the top of the flush mount. Thankfully another reviewer pointed this out so I did pay attention to that. The cheapest part of the whole piece is the attachment pieces which holds each string to the top of the light. Hint: it is much easier to "hook" the top of the crystal string if you detach the attachment piece from the top - then sling the crystal string to it - then refasten the attachment piece. HOWEVER these things are the FLIMSIEST, CHEAPEST pieces of the whole entire light fixture. If you choose to do it this way be very careful for they break easily. You get one try. You can't re do it or it will break. THANKFULLY it comes with extras just incase. Also please note that the center string is shorter than the rest. The rest can go anywhere. My brother wired it to the ceiling for me. I helped him though as it takes two people. This was a pain. Is it worth it - YES!!!!! It emits beautiful light and the end product looks exquisite. Also the crystals DO hang lower than the "drum". I don't know why everyone says it is "flush" with the "drum". The large, bottom crystal hangs below the drum. Enjoy!
Beautiful light for my entry - I have a standard-height entry and wanted a light that was unique and unexpected, but not too over the top, and was a flush mount. This is perfect. The crystals do not hang below the shade much, if at all, and coming down the stairs, it looks like a normal shade light. But when underneath, it's a party! Had a strange smell when pulling out of the package, but cleared up in a day or two - smelled like soldering oil. Had to attach all the crystals and wire drops by hand, took about 2 hours while watching tv. I'd suggest wearing cotton gloves to hold the crystals so you don't have to clean them after. All in all, very happy and would purchase again.
All the reviews I read before purchasing this light are accurate. It takes effort to prepare for installation. Based on these reviews, I did attach most of the crystals to the base before installing. However, I did not attach the nine crystals that are closest to the center, or where the screws from the ceiling attach to the light. I thought they would be in the way during installation, and I was right. They were not hard to attach after the light was installed, but I did need my husband to shine a flashlight because I would have gone blind keeping the light on while I worked. And although one reviewer said they removed the small loops from the base of the light before attaching the crystals, I don't think that's the way to go. It wasn't hard at all to attach the crystals to the loops on the base as delivered, and I think it would have been much harder to reattach the loops. Also, I took the advice of one reviewer and left the plastic on the shade during installation. While you have to be really careful when removing it after the fact, I am so glad we kept it on as it protected the strings of the shade from all the handling. The hardest part for us was actually attaching the light to the ceiling. It took us forever to line up the screws in the ceiling with the holes in the light base, with all the crystals hanging and especially because once the product is close to the ceiling, you lose all daylight between the product and the ceiling, so you are fishing in the dark for the screws. I can't even explain how we finally did it.....many tries and then some luck. So if you want to put in a lot of effort for a pretty light that really sparkles when lit, then you should consider this one.
I took a chance on this order simply based on customer reviews and for the sales value alone (a doorbuster offer). I was prepared for the installation difficulty based on others' reviews, and I did not think it was going to be a big deal since I am a VERY handy person and I only cared about the final product. OMG was I wrong! The crystals assembly was time-consuming but I knew to expect the tedious repetitive labor and that wasn't the big problem. I took others' advise and assembled/attached the crystals before the installation (except in the center). I DO NOT ADVISE THIS! This makes the item pretty heavy and precarious while you're trying to mount the product on the ceiling. I didn't even experience much problem attaching the electrical wires by myself; I used a shoe string to hold/hang up the product on the installed mounting plate while connecting the black/white/ground wires. The main problem came when I was trying to align the two mounting screws through the two tiny holes at the final mounting stage of the product installation. I fumbled around trying to find the mounting screws while having basically no visibility peering up from the bottom through two tiny holes. My arms got tired and I was beyond frustrated by the time my husband arrived home and tried to take over the task. He tried for over 30 minutes to no avail himself, and asked why the crystal balls were already hung making the installation practically impossible. We eventually noticed that the mounting screws were spaced a bit too narrow for the available holes, so we forcibly spread out the screws a bit a the mounting base. Make sure you check this before installing - they came stacked so I didn't expect the issue, but but a bit of tight/narrow screw space for the holes makes it impossible to align up from the bottom, allowing you to get only one screw through but not the other... After about 10 more minutes of almost blind alignment attempts with tired arms, we Finally got it mounted. Attaching the remaining crystals in the center was no big deal, and it definitely made me regret having hung the crystals prior that definitely added to the installation difficulty. After ALL this, I unwrapped the shade cover (I took the advise of many reviewers to leave it on), and then found that one of the white wire frame at the base of the shade was unattached! Examining the area, the product was defective since I couldn't even see the damaged detachment point at the shade rim, and I unfortunately couldn't notice the defect after all the trouble of finish mounting the product. I really hoped that the product would look better in person as many have noted, but it really doesn't. The only positive is that the crystals are indeed real glass, and they sparkle more than in the photo with the lights on. However, the shade (made of white strings) looks about the same as in the photo, and the product featured on the ad photo is obviously different from the product I had received. Instead of the 3 white frame wires running at the base, I have four (making an X looking up from the bottom). The white plastic coated wires cheapens the look, and it really should've been designed with chrome/stainless frames instead to blend in with the reflective base at the top. The crystals hang completely flush with the shade, and do not stick out below as in the photo at all. A review here particularly emphasized that the crystals do hang below the shade as in the photo, but that person obviously had received a different product than many others mentioned here, indicative of the product/inventory inconsistency. If you are on a fence, do NOT order the product! Because of the installation nightmare, I contacted Overstock with the aforementioned defect and I was offered a product replacement or an amazing $5 dollar refund for keeping the item. I was disgusted for the first time dealing with Overstock customer care. The $5 refund could never make up for the several hours lost installing the product, and unfortunately my husband didn't even like the installed the product! He hates the cheap looking lamp shade and the wire frames.... ARGGGGHHHH!
Now that it's up, I love this light. It's almost a little too sparkly which I'm sure others will love about it. I don't know if I was missing a page of instructions but it took me over 2 hours to install and get all the crystals on. There was a bag of extension pieces so some crystals were longer than others but it didn't tell you which to use where. after a lot of counting the pieces and trial and error, I put the middle strand with 4 extension rings. The other innermost layers with 1 extension claw and 1 extension ring, and then had the entire outer ring with no extensions. The crystal do not drop below the skrim as low as the picture suggests. But now that its all done, it's gorgeous and definitely worth the $*** I paid for it!
This is a beautiful fixture if you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your room
Hard to connect crystals, but worth the time. Turned out real nice.
I love this light! I put it in my bedroom between my two closets. It adds so much to the room! Couldn't be happier!!

This is more usage than grammar; grammatically, both are correct. I'd say "in a frail voice" would be more common usage. | |||
They are both correct. The first means that his voice was frail when he said goodbye, while the second means that he used a frail voice to say goodbye, so essentially they mean the same. | |||

The Weyburn Beavers started the first round of the Western Major Baseball League playoffs on Tuesday night.
The Beavers play the Regina Red Sox in the first round. One game was held in Regina on Tuesday night, with the Beavers returning to the Red Sox field tonight, August 1.
The first home game for the Beavers will be Thursday, August 2 at 7:05 p.m. at Tom Laing Park. This is a best-of-five series, so game four is scheduled in Weyburn on Friday, August 3 and game five is scheduled in Regina on Saturday, August 4.
Other playoff series include Melville against Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat play Okotoks Dawgs, and the Swift Current Indians against the Lethbridge Bulls.
During the regular season, the Beavers played the Red Sox 10 times, and Regina won eight of those games.
In the last home games of the regular season, the Beavers played Regina twice and Swift Current once. They won their last home game of the season 8-6 on Sunday afternoon.
Weyburn opened with three runs in the first inning. Then Regina scored twice in the second, and one run in both the third and the fourth innings. During the seventh inning, Regina scored two runs, but the Beavers came back strong with five runs. Singles were hit by Jon Neuberger, Joseph Iorio, Dustin Silva, Tim Adams and Matthew Kinney.
Brennan Luffman started on the mound; he pitched six innings and had four runs scored off five hits with three errors recorded. Relief pitchers were Brad Weisgerber and Riley Schaaf.
The night before, on July 27, the Beavers fell 8-6 to the Red Sox in Regina. The Red Sox scored one run in the first inning and the Beavers tied the game in the third inning. Regina scored two runs in the fourth and the Beavers tied the game up again at the top of the sixth.
The Red Sox scored one run in the bottom of the sixth and three runs in the seventh. Both teams scored one run in the eighth, and the Beavers scored their last two runs in the ninth.
Kurtis McCallum started on the mound, he pitched five innings and had four runs scored off 12 hits and four errors recorded. Daniel Brown and Stuart Springer both pitched relief.
Earlier in the week, on July 26, the Beavers lost 6-1 to Swift Current. The Indians scored three runs in the fifth and sixth innings, with the Beavers scoring their lone run in the sixth.

My interests lie mostly in animation and comic illustration. I like artists like Mike Mignola or John Kricfalusi, good typography, some contemporary art, and old dudes like Tintoretto and his wacky pals. I like tour posters and good album covers. What I really dislike is badly drawn and unlikeable illustration and characters. Bad character design makes me angry. That does not mean I dislike good stylized or even abstract art. It's all a question of the individual piece, and I don't like to make generalizations about it.
My ambitions are to work on my observational drawing skills, and get better at getting the mood across that I have in mind when I draw things. I am at the moment not looking to work as an artist, but to improve my skill. I found that if I place too much emphasis on drawing, it is less fun for me, and I really like to like doing it. As far as my shortcomings go, I am not sure where I am headed. I have a vague direction, and my lack in technical skill is holding me back as well I think. To really get to where I would like to be, I would probably have to do this full time, which at the moment is just not part of my process. Even if I have the time available, I will get sidetracked or lose interest. I hope that as I find where I am headed, I will gain more focus. So one goal would definitely be finding a path that works for me. I want to get away from the cartoony comic look I do at the moment, but do not want to get into full self serving realism. That's about as much as I can say on the topic at this moment.
A sketchbook link is in my sig. The dude in the photo is hyver, ours truely. The guy in the drawing has a burned eye brow.

Capability Replacement Laboratory
The Capability Replacement Laboratory represents the largest construction project in PNNL's 46-year history. But it is much more than bricks, mortar, and scientific instrumentation. These facilities are essential to retaining capabilities and expertise developed and nurtured over the past four decades.
As a national laboratory, we are stewards of the public trust on many levels. We are responsible for operating in a sustainable manner, and we are responsible for the dollars entrusted to us by the taxpayers. We continually look for opportunities to integrate advanced efficiency measures into our operations and to use our campus as a test-bed for the innovative technologies that our researchers are developing.
At PNNL, interdisciplinary teams work to ensure that sustainability is integral to both our research and our operations. We're in the business of pushing the edge every day. The Capability Replacement Laboratory is a strong example of this. The Biological Sciences Facility and Computational Sciences Facility were awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED gold status. The Physical Sciences Facility was recently awarded Silver LEED Certification.
A typical laboratory building is a large consumer of energy and is not environmentally friendly. However compared with standard code-compliant designed laboratories the Biological Sciences Facility and Computational Sciences Facility and the Physical Sciences Facility will consume 30 percent less water and 30% less energy per year.
Many features contribute to this savings water-efficient landscaping, an environmentally-sensitive storm water management system, high-efficiency condensing hot water boilers, a heat recovery system, and energy-efficient lighting and controls. We believe all the CRL facilities will serve as a model of sustainability for the science and technology community.

Tryan McMickens recalls the "huge blow" he felt when, as one of only a few dozen African-American students at a large, predominantly white public high school in suburban Atlanta, he heard his favorite teacher advise him not to even consider applying to a historically black college. "She told me those schools would not be the best fit for me because those schools are not the best schools," he says.
His experience at Tuskegee University, where he received his bachelor's degree in December 2005, proved her wrong on both counts. "While I was there I found a deep passion for research and for working in higher education," says McMickens, now a doctoral student in higher education management at the University of Pennsylvania. "To be around students [at Tuskegee] who look like you and who are ambitious and who set these tremendous goals was encouraging and empowering," he says.
But the very fact that McMickens's choice put him on the defensive captures in a nutshell the challenges that black colleges face. Once pretty much the only option for black students seeking higher education, black colleges today increasingly have to compete with other institutions for prize pupils. Prospective students, like the schools themselves, are struggling with how to weigh the unique traditions and culture that black colleges offer against the financial resources and elite rankings of white campuses.
In 1965, the federal government created a "historically black colleges and university" designation to support about 100 schools located mostly in the South and a handful of other nearby states that were founded with the mission of educating black Americans in the years just before and in the decades following the Civil War. (Founded by a Quaker in 1837, Cheyney University in Pennsylvania is the oldest.) Then came the Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 and the subsequent civil rights legislation of the 1960s. Today, most majority white institutions are seeking to increase the diversity of their student body by actively recruiting racial minority students. That has forced black colleges to compete to attract their traditional student base. Case in point: Out of the 817 black American high school students who won National Achievement Scholarships in 2006, Harvard enrolled the most, with 68. Among black colleges, Howard University claimed the largest number, with just 19, and Morehouse and Spelman each only attracted six.
Cash strapped. The student drain has not been the only problem black colleges have to contend with. Years of chronic underfunding (both before and after desegregation) have placed some HBCUs in severe financial straits, in some cases leading to accreditation questions. When University of Pennsylvania education Prof. Marybeth Gasman was researching her book, Envisioning Black Colleges, she said, she could actually see the toll that maintenance delays had taken on some campuses in the form of historic buildings that were "falling apart" and archival papers "crumbling."
United Negro College Fund President and CEO Michael Lomax, a graduate of Morehouse College and former president of Dillard University, says these conditions do not affect all HBCUs. "American higher education is multi-tiered, and so are black colleges," he says, noting the range in black colleges from small liberal arts colleges to larger research universities, public and private. "Some small schools are challenged, just as small colleges are across the board," Lomax says. But "Morehouse, Spelman, Hampton, among others, are stronger than they have ever been."

Main PlayingWith Quotes main index Narrative
"I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit." The episode ends with a moral � la Aesops Fables. Either the last line of the episode summarizes the whole point of the episode, or it leaves the viewer with the issue that the writers want them to ponder. 1950s sitcoms often end on the "Gee, I learned my lesson," type of moral, while Law & Order leaves you pondering.
Since some shows seem to contractually require one moral per episode, you often end up with a Broken Aesop.
A lot of kids' shows go out of their way for this, especially Disney-animated shows. Writers often call it the "Object Lesson", and write the episode around it. This is particularly noticeable in programs made in the United States during the late 1970s through the early 1990s, as the FCC at the time required that all children's television shows have "educational" content, and this was the simplest way to meet its requirements.
In an American Dom Com, the point where the Aesop is delivered is often referred to by writers as the Golden Moment.
For the lesson told or repeated in a separate segment during The Tag, see And Knowing Is Half the Battle.
For times when the story's lesson is delivered via Phlebotinum, see Aesoptinum.
For times when the show hits you over the head with the lesson, see Anvilicious or Script Wank.
For times when a lesson is learned through a moral conflict, see Moral Dilemma.
In some quarters An Aesop delivered to another character, often a child, directly is referred to as a "You See, Timmy" from the frequent use of that line to deliver the Aesop in the television show Lassie. This definition was put forth originally in the movie Speechless.
"Perhaps it hasn't one," Alice ventured to remark. "Tut, tut, child!" said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."

Market Intelligence: Piezo Inkjet Printhead Market Continues Robust Growth
Piezo inkjet printhead technology is the enabling technology force that has made many of the new, fast growing digital printing solutions possible.
Meanwhile, the established manufacturers continue to invest more resources into next generation design and manufacturing, leveraging either an incumbent customer base for future demand and/or leveraging parent company resources betting on branded printing hardware solutions that are in development. Investments required for the next generation of printhead technology can now run up to $100 million or more (spread over a number of years) – raising the risks and rewards. The market dynamics are in piezo inkjet printheads favor; demand is there and it is easier to grow in growth markets than mature or declining ones. Ultimately success still comes down to individual manufacturer execution, but IT Strategies believes the odds are in favor of all the piezo inkjet head manufacturers that are not under development that they will be in business in one form or another during the next ten years.

Right risks to put your money right now should be in JPMorgan stock Bob -- is the chief market strategist for being partners.
And he says -- all the uncertainty in Europe -- should be buying America and we actually like to hear that but what in particular are you buying men.
While there's still a lot of uncertainty going into this weekend's elections over in Europe.
And so nobody really understands where were going to be headed at least short term.
Longer term out we still -- very positive about the market.
What if you're at a restaurant there are looking to maybe put some money to work I'd start to take a look at a stock like target first of all the lower gas prices are going to help the situation.
And help consumers.
-- to the store they get a 100% of their revenue derived from US sales the stock yields about two point 1%.
And has about a market multiple but earnings next you're forecasted to grow by about 13%.
Disney is another company that's going to be able to benefit.
From these lower gasoline prices 75% of their revenues come from within United States.
It's selling at a slight premium PE but the peg ratio is really only one point two.
Earnings expected to grow by 13%.
And we know that John Carter didn't seem to do much they -- -- -- that often kept going.
-- -- you -- not quite -- managers who -- an area out that -- said Philip Morris on your list of picks as well.
I wanted to ask you -- more about the consumer Staples 'cause.
You think they're slightly overly expensive though don't you.
They're a little bit pricey here right now and so -- are going to start a new position I think the best thing to do resorted so Intuit.
Take a partial -- see how -- trades because of this market does turn around and we get some kind of resolved which is kind of unlikely out of Europe anytime soon.
This market is going to go for the higher beta names and it's going to go away from the consumer Staples.
-- -- You also feel that this market is waiting for more stimulus don't you don't you worry about completion down the road at all.
A exactly I mean there was no -- out this morning -- yesterday.
That the Fed is going to add some additional stimulus they meet next week and I think the market is really holding out some hope -- the situation worsens.
That stimulus is going to be headed this way.
But really in the long run additional money is not the answer -- the problem we don't have a liquidity problem we have the solvency problem in the world.
You manage about a billion dollars in assets your firm that is -- and right now you're saying though.
Regardless of all these names you buying nothing -- are you sitting on cash.
We have a little bit more cash than we normally have I I would suggest that individual -- they're probably have about 25%.
Of -- portfolio in cash 75% exposure to equity market if they have a growth orientation to themselves.
And I think that if you focus on the highest quality names out there in in stay away from sort of -- higher beta names you're probably doing yourself a big favor.
Bob have like a band partners.
Huge star spangled banner thank you -- you very welcome.

- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin (or use a silicone one). Put 140g sugar, flour and bicarb in a bowl and mix to combine. In a jug, whisk together the yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Tip the jug contents and melted butter into the dry ingredients and quickly fold with a metal spoon to combine.
- Divide two-thirds of the mixture between the muffin holes. Carefully add 1 tsp jam into the centre of each, then cover with the remaining mixture. Bake for 16-18 mins until risen, golden and springy to touch.
- Leave the muffins to cool for 5 mins before lifting out of the tin and rolling in the extra sugar.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, January 2012
Comments, questions and tips
Delicious and moreish. However, I could really taste the bicarbonate of soda. Will try with self raising flour or use baking powder next time. Used Greek yoghurt and turned out fine. The jam did not sink, but I only used half a teaspoon in each muffin. I also used cupcake cases. I just sprinkled the tops with caster sugar. Definitely nothing like a doughnut, but very tasty nonetheless. Light and moist.
I had a dilemma and had no natural yoghurt and none at the village shop and had to make my own soured milk, then I had lost my vanilla extract upon moving house and read I could use almond extract. Given the changes they were lovely and only one seeped out jam, I highly recommend muffin cases!
I made lemon curd, strawberry and raspberry jam ones and enjoyed by hubby and toddler!
So easy to make!
These little muffins/doughnuts are delicious! I have made them twice now and both times they have been very well received. The second time round I tried putting in a teaspoon full of custard (ready made) instead of jam in half of the batch to see what they would taste like. The custard muffins tasted very nice but the custard simply blended in to the mixture so didn't really have the same impact as the jam ones. I did think that next time I might try a ready made apple filling or perhaps chocolate spread. Seeing as it's been raised a couple of times: mine took exactly 15 mins in our oven (non fan) and we found they tasted absolutely fine the day after baking, although definitely nicer on the day.

Thursday, October 31. 2013File_MARC: 1.0.1 release fixes data corruption bugI released File_MARC 1.0.1 yesterday after receiving a bug report from the most excellent Mark Jordan about a basic (but data corrupting) problem that had existed since the very early days (almost seven years ago). If you generate MARC binary output from File_MARC, you should upgrade immediately. In the MARC binary output code, I was testing a string for the presence of a value--roughly, "if ($value)"--and returning false if no value was present. Which is fine, except when said value was '0', in which case that test returns FALSE. Whoops. It's one of the oldest gotchas in PHP, and it lived for a very long time in this library. Probably because very few people want to generate MARC binary output. But now, that bug is squashed, and a unit test will ensure that it does not come back.

PhotoCopy keeps iPhoto and Flickr synced
Update: I mistakenly said this tool does two-way sync. PhotoCopy currently only moves photos one direction--from iPhoto to Flickr.
Having recently picked up one of the new MacBooks, I've been spending the last few days getting it up to speed with all my Web services and prior storage backups.
One of the biggest hurdles I'm trying to overcome is being too reliant on software, which is considerably easier with today's cloud services.

Late Goals Send DePauw to Defeat in SCAC Title Game
November 7, 2010
November 7, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — Top-seeded Rhodes forced overtime with a goal in the final minute of regulation and then won the game with a score in the first minute of the extra session to take a 2-1 win over DePauw in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Field Hockey Championship game.
Rhodes improved to 17-1 with the win, while DePauw finished its season at 13-7. The title was the second straight for the Lynx who also topped the Tigers by a 2-1 score last year with a goal in the first minute of overtime.
DePauw took the lead at 30:18 on Margaret Ellis' unassisted goal. That lead stood until 58 seconds remained when Rhodes' Libby Feaster knotted the score on Charlie Wagner's assist.
Katie Faucher then delivered the game-winning score just 59 seconds into the first overtime.
Rhodes held a 10-6 advantage in shots and a 12-6 margin in corners. Rhodes' Sarah Dockery totaled two saves and DePauw's Liz Attewell finished with five.

Fermanagh District Council is a unique local authority in that it covers one entire county in Northern Ireland. County Fermanagh makes up 1/8 of the province's land mass and the Council represents the largest local government district in geographical terms. This encourages and enables a strategic approach to the planning and delivery of its services, enhancing co-operation with other government agencies and statutory authorities.
Fermanagh is a county immersed in beautiful unspoilt lakeland landscapes and breathtaking mountainscapes. Often referred to as the Lakeland County, 1/5 of the area is covered by water. The County has a growing population of 57,600, of which 70% live in rural areas. Enniskillen Town is the main centre of population with 12,000 inhabitants. Since 1990 the population of the County has increased by 7% and the predicted population growth is higher than elsewhere in the province at 1.5% per annum.
Like all predominantly rural regions Fermanagh faces a number of challenges associated with peripherality. The County has a population density of 31 persons per square km. This wide population dispersal and low density is exacerbated by the natural geography of the area. The County is bisected by Upper and Lower Lough Erne restricting travel within the region. Fermanagh has high levels of housing unfitness, long term unemployment and rural deprivation, all above the Northern Ireland average.
Fermanagh is renowned for its rich cultural identity and strong sense of community. The Council in partnership with the vibrant Fermanagh community has adopted and maintained a holistic approach to local development, tackling local issues with resilience and confidence, creating a shared sense of hope and optimism for the future.


text: Home Culture Wall Street's Solution for Repeat Offenders? Goldman Sachs is banking on a program to reduce recidivism among New York's incarcerated. By: Harold J. Logan Posted: Aug. 25 2012 12:35 AM 0 Thinkstock (The Root) -- One could argue that the barons of Wall Street don't usually wake up in the morning wondering whether the decisions they make before sundown will advance or hinder America's prison population. However, an experimental effort involving investment firm Goldman Sachs that will launch later this year may change all that. Earlier this month, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the company will loan the city $9.6 million to finance a program designed to reduce recidivism -- the rate at which newly freed inmates return to jail -- among young men imprisoned at Rikers Island. As part of Bloomberg's nascent Young Men's Initiative, the four-year program known as the Adolescent Behavioral Learning Experience will provide education and counseling that encourage responsible behavior for an estimated 3,400 Rikers inmates per year. The aim of the specialized training is to reduce the likelihood that they will return to prison, which New York officials say happens to 50 percent of young men within 12 months of their release from Rikers. If the program reduces recidivism by 10 percent, Goldman will get its money back, according to reports. If there's a drop of more than 10 percent, the firm could earn as much as $2.1 million. But if the rate of reincarceration falls by less than 10 percent, it could lose up to $2.4 million. Depending on the success of the ABLE model, New York and other cities may be encouraged to utilize more "social impact bonds" -- the investment vehicle through which Goldman is financing the program. Other areas that could benefit include novel educational efforts for inner-city children, programs that succeed in reducing teen pregnancy or solutions to the obesity epidemic. It's quite intriguing to witness Goldman Sachs, a shining emblem of all that's good and all that's bad about Wall Street, getting involved with the criminal-justice system in a way that could be helpful to young incarcerated men. The perceived inequity of that system -- and especially the impact that the war on drugs has had on conviction rates for African-American men -- is typically at the top of the list of critical issues facing black America. An entire generation of inner-city black youths has come to see prison as a rite of passage. And it's an especially pernicious rite, leading directly to second-class citizenship, with former prisoners unable to vote, get a decent job, live in public housing or take advantage of other basic rights that most citizens take for granted. For the financial-services industry, though, the prison-industrial complex is often considered a boon. The industry makes money helping states and cities float bonds that pay for prison construction and operating costs -- guards' salaries, food and the other expenses that make the per-prisoner cost of incarceration higher than the per-student cost of education. Wall Street exists in part to make money. Its success in doing so is the source of its almost unlimited political influence. But if segments of black America and other disenfranchised communities can benefit from aspects of the corporate world's self-interest, it could result in a firmer economic foothold for minorities in the American mainstream. Of course, caveats are in order: The amount of the loan -- almost $10 million -- is not a lot of money for Goldman Sachs. The company earned more than $900 million just in the last quarter. Burnishing its beleaguered image is surely as big an incentive for the company as is the chance to earn a couple more million dollars. As the Libor scandal shows, the financial-services industry is not above outright cheating to obtain the results it wants. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

The Notitia dignitatum is a state paper that documents virtually the whole of the civil and military organization of the Roman Empire as it existed after the reforms of Emperor Diocletian (ruled, 284–305). The manuscript contains chapters on the high state offices, and each chapter is preceded by pages of illustrations depicting the insignia of the officials in these offices and objects characteristic of their functions. The original of the document, probably written around 425 in Rome, is lost, as is a copy from the Carolingian period. The Carolingians ...

Coming down the Giogo Pass towards Firenzuola, I had been impressed by the view of the rocks surfacing in the pastures and by the soft fields furrowed by streams and interrupted by the remains of the woods. The waters of the Santerno river engrave the earth, rip pebbles and stones away from the stratifications of the rock walls, and accumulate them in its bed, excavating them just like the workmen of these valleys quarry and then accumulate and organize pietra serena, a bluestone typical to the area. Later they will put it back together, in layers, as they cover walls, overlie the wood of coverings, or sometimes even a coarser metal sheet.
The unusually repeated conspicuousness of these three materials is tied to some thoughts on water and swimming. Bodies in movement, lightness, bodies exposed to the sun, looks. It's pores dilating, it's the revelation of plastic physicality, startle and vertigo opposed to a classical principle of a balance between self and nature.
So it's the order of a classical organism that governs, as well as the disorder and the estrangement of individual desires. The horizontality of water and stone against light and vegetation's verticality.
The outcome is an assembly of dug out solids, set within an outline whose edges are constantly varied, towards the city or towards the river, just as if the organism had undergone erosions and washings by the waters of the river. (frp)
