LOS ANGELES - Slide shows of amateur photography aren't usually premiered at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood, but rules are often bent for Beatles. "That's one of me!" Ringo Starr said excitedly when he saw his face on the big screen last week. "I like that one!"
LOS ANGELES � Slide shows of amateur photography aren�t usually premiered at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood, but rules are often bent for Beatles.
�That�s one of me!� Ringo Starr said excitedly when he saw his face on the big screen last week. �I like that one!�
Starr, 73, was kicking off a day of media interviews pegged to his visual autobiography, Photograph, and his upcoming All-Starr Band tour of South America and Mexico.
He offered dozens of photos of, or by, himself and the three band mates he refers to as �the lads� � John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. The snapshots form a central part of the photographic narrative contained in the limited-edition Photograph book.
Starr told a small group of reporters and fans that he first picked up a camera when he was 17 or 18 and has carried one with him ever since.
A dozen of his shots were enlarged, framed and put on display at the front of the theater where Starr held court after comments from several speakers, including drummers Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana and Steve Gorman of the Black Crowes.
Starr said the book, which came out earlier in the year in a digital edition designed for iPads, is in part his response to requests for him to write a book about his life.
�I�ve been asked to do my autobiography,� he said at the press conference, �but they�re really only interested in eight years,� referring to the span from when he joined the Beatles in August 1962 until the Fab Four acrimoniously disbanded in April 1970.
�But I had a life before I joined the Beatles, and I�ve had one after I left,� he said. �There would be five volumes before I got into the Beatles. I can�t remember ever reading anyone�s autobiography. It�s just too much reading. I thought this was a better way to do it.�
The physical version of Photograph is a hand-bound limited edition of 2,500 copies, signed by Starr, selling for $550. Its 304 pages include about 240 photographs, both those of Starr and many he shot himself and is sharing publicly for the first time.
Starr said his proceeds from the sale of the books will be donated to the Lotus Foundation, the nonprofit founded by Starr and his wife, actress Barbara Bach, to support charitable projects advancing social welfare.
Genesis Publications co-owner Nick Roylance said the company, which issued Starr�s previous book Postcards From the Boys in 2004, would also make a donation to Lotus for each book sold.
Asked by moderator Melinda Newman whether it is true that he had never taken a photography course, Starr drolly replied, �Never took a drum lesson either.�
Starr was accompanied by Bach and George Harrison�s widow, Olivia Harrison, as well as the members of the All-Starr Band.
At the event, Starr also previewed snippets of the material he will be playing on the South American tour.
As always since he started the All-Starr Band in 1989 with a rotating roster of rock and pop performers, Starr alternated his Beatles and solo hits with theirs.
The latest lineup includes Steve Lukather, Toto lead guitarist; Richard Page of Mr. Mister; Gregg Rolie of Santana; and Todd Rundgren, along with adjunct touring drummer Gregg Bissonette and keyboardist and saxophonist Mark Rivera.
In a question-and-answer session, Rundgren extolled the camaraderie among the members of the All-Starr Band, who have been together since 2012, noting that �We hang out together; we eat together; we genuinely like being together.�
Asked about his motivation to continue touring, Starr responded with a quip that camouflaged his continuing passion for making music.
�For myself,� he said, �I�m here because I�ve got nothing better to do.�

Equipment for Class I Hazardous Locations
The key to installing electrical equipment in any hazardous location is to prevent the ignition of its surrounding flammable atmosphere.
Electrical equipment installed in hazardous locations must be of a type designed to prevent the ignition of a flammable atmosphere, propagation of fire, or creation of an explosion. There are four main types of equipment and systems used for these purposes.
- Explosionproof equipment,
- Intrinsically safe equipment,
- Purged and pressurized equipment, and
- Nonincendive equipment.
Explosionproof equipment. The most widely used and recognizable equipment in Class I, Division 1 locations is explosionproof equipment, which is defined in Art. 100 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The electrical apparatus must be capable of withstanding an explosion within it. If gases or vapors enter the enclosure and an explosion occurs, it must withstand the explosion without rupturing and cool down the hot products of combustion before they reach the surrounding atmosphere.
In Class I, Division 1 locations, electrical systems are not designed to keep explosive vapors out of the wiring system. On the contrary, the NEC assumes that the entry of those vapors into the wiring system is inevitable. The rules are designed to assure any resulting explosions will not ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
Threaded and flat joints are commonly used in explosionproof equipment. Both joints work on the principle of a long flame path. The flame path or escape path is the path the hot gases or vapors must take after ignition. For threaded joints to be effective, they must be made up wrench tight with five fully engaged threads. The flat joint involves carefully machined mating surfaces, bolted securely together. The joints perform properly, if the hot gases are cooled enough so they do not ignite an explosive mixture in the surrounding atmosphere. The flame must not propagate outside the enclosure.
Intrinsically safe equipment. Intrinsically safe equipment is designed with special circuitry that maintains the available energy to a value below that required to cause ignition - even under fault conditions. A qualified testing laboratory must carefully evaluate these systems. But keep in mind, the amount of energy flowing, as a function of voltage and amperage is only one factor considered; stored energy is also considered in terms of system capacitance and reactance.
Properly grounding the system is an important installation requirement. It's also important to separate these circuits from all nonintrinsically safe circuits. This helps to ensure the system's reliability.
Purged equipment. Purged equipment in hazardous locations can be difficult to arrange. However, they're an excellent solution where large or complicated control systems, instrumentation, or motors must be located in the hazardous location.
For purging to work properly, you must supply electrical equipment (of the totally enclosed type) with positive pressure ventilation from a clean source of air. A wired interlock-timer prevents energizing the machine until the ventilation system has purged the enclosure with at least four volumes of gas (ten volumes for motors). The power supplied to the equipment has to be wired and arranged in such a manner as to automatically deenergize the equipment - should the air supply fail.
NFPA 496 recognizes three types of purging. Type X purging converts the interior of an enclosure from Division 1 to nonhazardous, Type Y purging coverts the interior of an enclosure from Division 1 to Division 2, and Type Z purging from Division 2 to nonhazardous.
Current interrupting equipment. All equipment used in Class I, Division 2 locations with arcing or sparking devices require the ignition source to be enclosed and isolated.
One example involves ignition-capable contacts that are immersed in oil. This method protects against the danger of the contacts making, breaking, or igniting in, and thereby igniting, a flammable mixture in Class I, Division 2 locations. Immersion of ignition-capable contacts in oil is known in the electrical industry as oil-immersed contacts.
Another method of protecting contacts in Class I, Division 2 locations is enclosing the contacts in hermetically-sealed chambers. These chambers consist of fusion joints such as welding, silver soldering, brazing, or equal rather than gasket joints. You can use general-purpose enclosures with motors that don't have arcing contacts, such as starter switches, thermal protectors, etc. Conventional 3-phase, squirrel cage induction motors, with Type TEFC enclosures, work well in these applications.
Nonincendive equipment. Nonincendive systems don't release enough energy to ignite a specific ignitable atmosphere under normal conditions, but may do so under some fault conditions. These systems are permitted in general purpose enclosures, in Division 2 locations. The NEC assumes that the odds of a fault in a nonincendive system occurring at the same time as vapor release are infinitesimal. These circuits are not permitted in Division 1 locations, except with regular Division 1 wiring methods and enclosures.
Rotary dial telephone circuits often fall into this category in Group D atmospheres. Although their circuits are not incendiary, their internal contacts qualify under Sec. 501-3(b)(1) Exs. (c) and (d) because the mass of the contact material absorbs enough circuit energy to prevent ignition.
The key to proper application. The key to proper equipment application is to closely watch and adhere to the label ratings for Group, Class, and Division. You must also observe the requirements of the applicable testing laboratory, and maintain a high standard of workmanship for maximum reliability.


text: Michael H. Posner was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor on September 23, 2009. Prior to joining State Department, Mr. Posner was the Executive Director and then President of Human Rights First. As its Executive Director he helped the organization earn a reputation for leadership in the areas of refugee protection, advancing a rights-based approach to national security, challenging crimes against humanity, and combating discrimination. He has been a frequent public commentator on these and other issues, and has testified dozens of times before the U.S. Congress. In January 2006, Mr. Posner stepped down as Executive Director to become the President of Human Rights First, a position he held until his appointment as Assistant Secretary. Mr. Posner played a key role in proposing and campaigning for the first U.S. law providing for political asylum, which became part of the Refugee Act of 1980. In 1998, he led the Human Rights First delegation to the Rome conference at which the statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was adopted. Mr. Posner also has been a prominent voice in support of fair, decent, and humane working conditions in factories throughout the global supply chain. As a member of the White House Apparel Industry Partnership Task Force, he helped found the Fair Labor Association (FLA), an organization that brings together corporations, local leaders, universities, and NGOs to promote corporate accountability for working conditions in the apparel industry. He also was involved in the development of the Global Network Initiative, a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at promoting free expression and privacy rights on the internet. Before joining Human Rights First, Mr. Posner was a lawyer with Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal in Chicago. He lectured at Yale Law School from 1981 to 1984, and again in 2009. He was a visiting lecturer at Columbia University Law School since 1984. A member of the California Bar and the Illinois Bar, he received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley Law School (Boalt Hall) in 1975, and a BA with distinction and honors in History from the University of Michigan in 1972.

Where do you need a Trumpet Player?
About booking Trumpet Players
The trumpet is a prominent member of the brass family of instruments and is one of the most popular instruments in all of music. Trumpet players can be heard across nearly all genres of music, including classical, jazz, rock, pop, ska, polka, swing, blues and funk. Trumpet players are popular for wedding ceremonies as well as receptions. For more conventional weddings, trumpet players bring class and style to the ceremony. The sound of the solo trumpet blends very well with the organ or piano, and it resonates beautifully off the walls of any church or temple. A trumpeter, trumpeteer or tumpet player can help create the perfect ambiance at a formal private event.
There are a few things you should consider when hiring a trumpet player. First, be sure to listen to audio and watch video samples. You want to be sure you are satisfied with the sound and look of the performer before you book him/her. Next, get references and read reviews. Talk to people in the area who have seen the performer and/or have booked them in the past. Feedback is the best way to ensure you book the best. If you are looking for a trumpeteer for your band or ensemble, check to see if they can adapt to different kinds of music and if they play well with unfamiliar bands. Last, always get a contract. Read the contract carefully and work out any details in regards to deposit requirements, length of performance, scheduled breaks, attire, travel, and lodging. Watch for specifications made by the performer and be sure you can meet them.

text: Re my post on Richard Dyer below, I have it on good authority that the Boston Globe is, in fact, looking for a full-time critic to succeed him. For a sense of what a critic can accomplish in one community over time — and I direct this particularly to bloggers who see criticism and/or journalism as obsolescent practices — consider Dyer's commentary on Lorraine Hunt Lieberson in 1985: "The violist Lorraine Hunt was a familiar figure on the Boston scene for several years before she made her professional debut as a singer last year in a concert performance of Mozart's 'Il Re pastore' at Castle Hill. She also won the Opera Company of Boston's auditions. Last summer she sang Sesto in the much-discussed Peter Sellars-Craig Smith production of Handel's 'Giulio Cesare' at the PepsiCo Festival in Purchase, N.Y. This was a great ensemble event, with star performances by such Sellars-Smith regulars as Jeffrey Gall, Susan Larson and James Maddalena. Hunt more than held her own. Already, in the first year of her career, Hunt is a powerful singing actress." There is a very long list of performers whom Dyer has written up in similarly perceptive fashion, usually at the very beginning of their careers. OK, enough critical self-reflexivity.

IRVINE – Police are searching for a man who entered an apartment during a fire evacuation Wednesday night and pepper-sprayed a resident who confronted him, authorities said.
A fire broke out in a leasing office in the bottom floor of a multistory apartment building in the 2300 block of Dupont Drive shortly after 8:30 p.m., authorities said.
The blaze was contained to the office, Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen said. Firefighters extinguished it within 15 minutes, while additional crews were called to assist with the evacuation of the building, Orange County Fire Authority Battalion Chief Kris Concepcion said.
During the evacuations, a male resident who had left his apartment returned to get his car keys and discovered a man inside his unit, Engen said.
A confrontation between the two men ensued, Engen said, and the intruder pepper-sprayed the resident before fleeing the building.
Investigators believe the intruder was "up to no good," Engen said, but there was no initial indication that he had been able to steal anything from the unit.
Police described the intruder as a Hispanic man, about 6 feet tall, heavy-set with dark, curly hair and a mole on his cheek, who was wearing a black jacket.
Authorities have not determined whether the intruder played a role in starting the fire or whether he took advantage of the blaze to enter the apartment.
OCFA investigators were at the building late Wednesday night looking into the cause of the blaze.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the intruder or the fire to call the Irvine Police Department at 714-724-7000.

Celine Dion made her return to the Las Vegas stage Tuesday evening for the first time since the loss of her husband René Angélil, who died of cancer in January, and the singer gave a touching tribute to her partner of 21 years, which began with a written message to the crowd.
"I understood that my career was in a way his masterpiece, his song, his symphony," the missive read. "The idea of leaving it unfinished would have hurt him terribly. I realized that if he ever left us, I would have to continue without him, for him."
This was followed by a sweet montage highlighting different stages of his life through photos ranging from his childhood, young adult years, his relationship with Dion and his time as a husband and father. Dion then appeared on stage and was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd.
Without saying a word, she dived into a beautiful ballad, singing Barbra Streisand's "With One More Look At You/Watch Closely Now."
Once the song ended, Dion tried to hold back the tears, however she couldn't help but get emotional when addressing the audience about the tragedy she has recently faced:
"Thank you. I did rehearse this song in my closet and it went way better than that. Through my life I only had highs for my husband who sat out here night after night. People thought that I was looking at him actually, but I didn't need to because every time I closed my eyes, I felt René on stage with me, whether he was seated in his seat right there, in the balcony, backstage or at home with the kids. He's always been on stage with me. And nothing will ever change that.
"You know, René always surrounded me with the very best people possible. I trusted him so much that I never really had the chance to really worry about anything. Now I guess it is only a natural impulse to constantly question myself. Would you let the kids play with these toys? Is this song too fast? Is this song too slow? Don't talk too much. It is pretty amazing that since he's physically no longer with me, he is even more present. René was my very best critic, he never told me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed to hear. Night after night, on our way back home from the show, when he was so silent, I could sense that he was trying to know how to approach me without hurting my artistic feeling, but he had to tell me for my own growth.
"... You know, I might not hear his voice yet, but I talk to him, I think of him all the time. I feel and I know he hears me. One way or another, I know he will give me a sign for his approval or not. And now, I can feel that he's telling me to zip it and start singing. Thank you so much. Thank you so very much for being here tonight."
A source tells E! News that Dion is continuing a tradition she would do with her husband before every show. The insider shares that Dion had a mold made of her husband's hand and had it covered in gold to continue the ritual of holding hands before hitting the stage. Dion held the cast of her husband's hand, which will stay in Vegas, before taking the stage Tuesday.
And Dion did more than just perform from the stage. The "My Heart Will Go On" songstress also surprised audience members by performing in the aisles and taking selfies with her guests. While she was able to crack a smile and make a couple of jokes throughout the evening, Dion couldn't help but cry while singing "All by Myself." A video tribute to her husband played for the crowd, who cheered and applauded loudly when images from the couple's wedding were shown. Images of René playing hockey and standing with the Stanley Cup were also shown, which also received a round of applause.
Friends and family gathered last month to hold a Celebration of Life memorial in honor of Angélil at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The problem is that pressing "Checkout" again will clear anything the user has entered in the checkout.rhtml field.
ilari says:
You can disable both buttons when the checkout view is shown to the user. Modify _cart.rhtml with the following:
<% form_remote_tag :url => { :action => :empty_cart } do %> <%= submit_tag "Empty Cart", :disabled => !@order.nil? %> <% end %> <%= button_to "Checkout", {:action => :checkout}, {:disabled => !@order.nil?} %>
However, the user can still remove individual line items from the cart emptying the cart this way…
bryan says:
Just ad if not @checkout to the button and set the @checkout to true in the checkout action of the store controller.
<%= button_to "Check out", :action => :checkout if not @checkout -%>
Eric asks:
Why does this works ? Reading ths code I see that button is disabled if order is empty. But when you are on the checkout page your cart isnt empty…So can anyone explain me why does this work ?
k9d adds:
I prefer the ilari's method for stopping the user from checking out again over the rest because it doesn't change the interface around on the user (the buttons remain, but are disabled) and the user can still see what they have in their cart.
Also I think it's good to allow users to remove items from their cart at the checkout stage—many times it's not until I check out that I realize I have two or something I thought I had only one of, etc. I tested ilari's method and removing a cart item before hitting "Place Order" works great (only the items listed in the cart when you hit "Place Order" show up in the line_items in the database).
However, if the user empties the cart to zero items, they're left staring at the checkout page with no way to cancel their order. This could be remedied a few different ways ("Cancel Order" button returning to index, automatically returning to index when there's no items in the cart ala blind_up).
k9d asks:
There are plenty of answers on this page that solve this problem by restricting user behavior, but why not nip the problem in the bud and change the behavior of the "Checkout" button so that it only blanks the field out when no data has been previously entered? I'm having trouble getting that to work because of the trickery involved with the RAM copy of @order VS the one that gets saved to the database, can anyone guide me there?
Dave says:
One way to hide the checkout_button is to set a variable:
@hide_checkout_button = true
You can then test for it in the layout:
<% if @hide_checkout_button -%> ... <% end -%>
Because instance variable default to the value nil when they haven't been assigned, this works fine if the non-checkout actions do not set the value.
You can take this a step further and set the variable inside the checkout view instead:
<% @hide_checkout_button = true -%>
Because the view template is evaluated before the layout, this variable will then be available for inspection in the layout.
Which is better depends on your application flow: what is the logical thing that determines you're looking at a checkout screen?
Nicolas says:
To me the most straightforward answer to your last question, at this stage of development, is whether or not the @order instance variable is set or not. If it is, there is not much point clicking on "checkout". This may change further along the process, but my solution is simply this, in _cart.rhtml:
<%= button_to "Checkout", :action => :checkout if @order.nil? %>
David M says:
It would probably make sense to hide the empty cart button as well on the checkout page to prevent a user from logging an empty order.
linoj says:
I had changed the template earlier to use form_remote_tag instead of button_to on Empty cart. So it seems cleaner to wrap both in an if-end (or is that too un-ruby-esque?)
<% if @order.nil? %> <%= button_to "Checkout", :action => :checkout %> <% form_remote_tag :url => { :action => :empty_cart } do %> <%= submit_tag "Empty Cart" %> <% end %> <% end %>
Javier says:
You can also add this "OR". It avoids re-checkouts and items removal:
<%= hidden_div_if(@cart.items.empty? || !@order.nil?, :id => "cart") %> <%= render(:partial => "cart", :object => @cart) %>
Carsten says:
Why not sticking to what we have already? Using the previously developed hidden_div_if in _cart.rhtml is quite convenient:
<%= hidden_div_if !@order.nil? %> <%= button_to "Checkout", :action => :checkout %>

Anthony Ettinger says:
I think it makes sense to change the "Checkout" button to a "Cancel Order" button if you are in the checkout process…you can use the @order object to determine this in your cart.rhtml template:
<% if @order %>  <% else %>   <% end %>
Then you would need a "cancel_checkout" method in store_controller.rb. I simply made mine redirect to index inside store_controller.rb:
def cancel_order redirect_to_index("You have cancelled your order") end
I left the cart full, in case they want to add more items, etc. At this point, the user can still empty the cart should they choose.
Side Note: With the ajax-ified "Empty Cart" button working, you are still left on the "Checkout" page if you empty it there. Perhaps "Empty Cart" should always redirect to index. This is negated by implementing a "Cancel Order" button that redirects to index.
Alan says:
There is a problem if you have AJAX click-to-remove on your cart and uses !@order.nil? to disable the buttons - At checkout, the buttons are disabled because the variable @order has been created, but when a user clicks on an item in the cart (to remove it), the cart updates and the buttons are enabled again. This is probably because @order is not present in the remove_from_cart action.
Tom Says:
I changed two things to be able to hide both buttons upon clicking checkout. This is my first week with RoR? so please tell me if I am wrong here.
The first edit was on store_controller.rb, I changed the def checkout to the following:
def checkout @hide_buttons = true @cart = find_cart if @cart.items.empty? redirect_to_index('Your cart is empty') else @order = Order.new end end
I added the instance variable @hide_buttons to be set to true when that action was called. The only other edit came on the _cart.rhtml view.
<% if @hide_buttons != true -%> <%= button_to('Checkout', :action => :checkout) %>
 <% form_remote_tag :url => { :action => :empty_cart } do -%> <%= submit_tag "Empty cart" %> <% end -%> <% end -%>
This hides the buttons from view if the @hide_buttons variable is set to true. It works and both buttons do not show when you click checkout. Please let me know if there are problems with this method.
The only potential problems I can see with the @hide_buttons variable solution above are: *you need that variable set in at least on other place (when item is deleted from cart after checkout screen) *that you have logic in your view template (not strictly MVC-esque)
There is the related problem of saving an empty order. The save_order action should check if @cart is empty (like the checkout action does), before saving the order. It is not enough to simply disable or hide the "Empty cart" button, since you can go to the checkout page in one browser window, then open up another one and go to the index page and empty the cart from there. Going back to the checkout page and submitting the form will invoke the save_order action on an empty cart, and lead to bad data in our database (orders with no line_items).
Scott says:
Tom, here is an example of what you suggested re: checking if the cart is empty:
def save_order @cart = find_cart if @cart.items.empty? redirect_to_index('Your cart is empty') else @order = Order.new(params[:order]) @order.add_line_items_from_cart(@cart) if @order.save session[:cart] = nil redirect_to_index('Thank you for your order') else render :action => :checkout end end end
iFlash says:
I tried a completely different approach which seems to work with very little change in _cart.html.erb. Look at this:
<%= button_to "Empty Cart", :action => :empty_cart unless @order %> <%= button_to "Checkout", :action => :checkout unless @order %>
unless @order
was just intuition really, but it makes a good job.
Jinyoung says:
Does we have to hide the button? Play time quest on this book is just ask to disable the checkout button. :-)
class StoreController < ApplicationControlle # ... def checkout @cart = find_cart if @cart.empty? redirect_to_index("Your cart is empty" ) else @order = Order.new @disable_checkout_button = true end end # ...
McWild says:
There is another way to disable both buttons while checkout view is shown to the customer.
We can use session for that!!
So customer could change line items quantity and have both buttons(Empty cart, Checkout) disabled anyway until He/She leave the checkout page.
class StoreController < ApplicationControlle # ... def index @products = Product.find_products_for_sale @cart = find_cart session[:disabled_button] = false end # ... # ... def checkout @cart = find_cart if @cart.items.empty? redirect_to_index("Your cart is empty" ) else @order = Order.new session[:disabled_button] = true end end # ... # ... def save_order @cart = find_cart @order = Order.new(params[:order]) @order.add_line_items_from_cart(@cart) if @order.save session[:cart] = nil session[:disabled_button] = false redirect_to_index("Thank you for your order" ) else render :action => :checkout end end # ...
Carnator says:
The question is about disabling the button. Here is what I used:
# ... <%= button_to "Checkout", {:action => 'checkout'}, :disabled => !@order.nil? %> # ...
The button_to helper has an HTML option called :disabled, so if the order is nil, then a negation will tell the :disabled option to activate.
Kedar Mhaswade says:
I think most of the suggestions above work for me as well. Thank you. I also thought that showing "Check Out" and "Empty" buttons when the cart is empty can be avoided too. Thus, my cart partial looks like this:
<% unless @cart.empty? %> <%= button_to "Checkout!", {:action => :checkout}, {:disabled => @checkout_in_progress}%> <%= button_to "Empty", {:action => :empty_cart}, {:disabled => @checkout_in_progress, :class => "empty-button"} %> <% end %>
The variable
is toggled (appropriately) in save_order and checkout methods of store controller. Does anyone have any comments on this?

- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, room temperature & beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast
- Vegetable oil*
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Using a mixer with a dough hook, place water, sugar, salt, egg, butter, evaporated milk, flour, and yeast in the bowl. Beat until smooth. If using a bread machine, select dough setting and press Start. When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. form dough into an oval, place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well chilled (3 to 4 hours) or overnight.
To prepare dough, remove from refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured board to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into approximately 3-inch squares or circles.
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 360 degrees F. Fry the beignets (2 or 3 at a time) 2 to 3 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown on both sides, turning them in the oil with tongs once or twice to get them evenly brown; beignets will rise to the surface of the oil as soon as they begin to puff. NOTE: If the beignets don't rise to the top immediately when dropped into the oil, the oil is not hot enough. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle heavily with powdered sugar. Serve hot.
* Use just enough vegetable oil to completely cover beignets while frying.

A wide range of solutions can meet the diverse needs of site illumination.
Properly preparing a lighting design for outdoor loading, storage, and fabricating areas is usually a difficult task. The lighting designer must consider whether stacked materials or heavy machinery will interfere with light distribution, or whether work activities will obstruct or block some of the light distribution.
Picking lighting equipment for the job is sometimes more difficult with an outdoor installation than with an indoor area, because fewer fixtures contribute their light to a given area. Generally, this means there's little margin for error in an outdoor lighting design (see sidebar below).
Although you can install lighting equipment on any high structure, pole mounting offers the most versatility. Luminaires on poles can provide illumination in every direction at distances of two to two and half times the mounting height from the pole. Thus, luminaires on a singe pole can serve an area of about four times the mounting height - squared. For example, a 50-ft pole can cover about 40,000 sq ft and a 150-ft pole about 369,000 sq ft. You can use narrow beam floodlights to light a flat area extending to five times the mounting height from the pole. However, at distances greater than two times the mounting height, uniformity and system efficiency drop off considerably.
You can see the effectiveness of minimizing shadows with a given mounting height in Fig. 1, on page 28 (not available online). This figure shows that the relationship between the length of shadows and the luminaire mounting height follows the law of similar triangles. For a horizontal distance from the pole of twice the mounting height, the length of the shadow will be twice the height of the object casting the shadow.
Once you establish the luminaire locations and mounting heights, determine the quantity and type of luminaire. If you select tall poles, you can use higher wattage lamps, which are more efficient than lower wattage light sources. Generally, 1000W or 750W high-pressure sodium (HPS) or metal-halide (MH) lamps are the choice for high mast applications.
In addition to choosing the lamp type, wattage, and number and location of luminaires, a designer must consider the beam spread, or the candlepower distribution pattern the luminaire provides. High mast luminaires and floodlights offer symmetrical and asymmetrical beam spreads. Naturally, a high mast luminaire delivers most of its light directly downward. But, you can vary the beam spread of a high mast luminaire by vertically adjusting the lamp in the reflector assembly. You can also select reflector-/refractor-type units, which cast light at a high angle. When you rotate the optical assembly of an asymmetrical-beam, a high mast luminaire allows you to shape the distribution pattern of a cluster of these luminaires.
Typically installed on structures and low poles, floodlights have a circular reflector, with the lamp mounted in the center. Floodlight beam spreads and their effective projection distances are classified by a joint IES/NEMA designation. The beam-spread patterns extend from Type 1 to Type 7. Fig. 2, on page 30 (not available online), shows Type 2 to Type 7 beam patterns, which are the most widely used types. In all cases, as the distance from floodlight to the illuminated area increases, the beam spread becomes wider.
Type classification assumes a symmetrical beam shape, meaning that the beam spread angle in the vertical and horizontal axes are identical. Generally narrow projection beams (Type 1, 2, 3, and 4), which are useful for directing a long throw of light, have a symmetrical beam spread. However, outdoor floodlights with Type 5, 6, and 7 beam spread have different beam spread for the vertical and horizontal axes, since they're generally used to project their light output at medium to close distances.
You can use the following simple formula to rapidly figure the number of units needed for a given light level or to determine the light level provided by a certain number of fixtures.
fc = [(N)(BL)(UF)(MF)]/Area
where, fc = average maintained illumination level in footcandles
N = number of luminaires
BL = beam lumens of the luminaire
UF = utilization factor (percentage of the beam lumens that fall within the area being lighted)
MF = maintenance factor (light loss factor)
Area = area to be lighted in square feet or square meters.
If the lighting project must satisfy only general criteria, such a simple calculation is sufficient. However, a better method of designing an outdoor lighting system is to use an isofootcandle plot.
An isofootcandle plot graphically represents the light distribution pattern on a horizontal surface. The graph consists of a series of lines, or contours, that represent the same illuminance anywhere on the line, with each line representing a different footcandle. Each contour from the center out represents approximately 50% of the value of the previous contour. The plot is placed over a grid, which you can use to indicate mounting height divisions. An isofootcandle plot can vary in shape from a circle, oval, or triangle, and may be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Essentially, you can use an isofootcandle curve at the same scale as a plan view of the area to be lighted to determine the contribution of each luminaire to the entire area.
Today, manufacturers have powerful and relatively inexpensive software programs to perform these calculations. Many of these programs perform lighting design calculations based on isofootcandle curves and footcandle tables for each luminaire type.
Sidebar: Why Design Calculations Can Differ from the Actual Installation
When using software, a contractor might find that after the installation, the measured illuminance differs from the computer-predicted illuminance. Why? A number of factors may cause this variation. First of all, site conditions frequently vary from the assumptions used in preparing the design.
Then, consider that a lamp can vary 55% in light output and still be within the manufacturer's tolerances. An HID ballast can vary 57% and still be within tolerance. Thus, it's possible for a lamp/ballast combination to be 12.5% under the predicted output.
You may find that the installer skewed the lamp's arc tube or mounted the fixture slightly out of alignment - resulting in the distribution of light at angles other than those intended.
Another factor could be a reflector or a refractor also mounted slightly off axis, producing similar results. It takes only a few degrees of tilt to produce significant change in the light distribution pattern.
Low voltage at the ballast of the fixtures could also be a problem, resulting from excessive voltage drop in the feeder or branch-circuit conductors. A regulator-type ballast is available for such a situation.

Am looking into upgrading my cell phone and this one caught my eye. I have an iPAQ that I use for cachemate and I periodically have problems with it. I would also love to eliminate carrying three devices (phone, iPAQ, GPS) and this seems like a viable option. It has a Palm OS platform and should accomodate Cachemate. Does anyone have this? And use it for this purpose? Any feedback is much appreciated!!!

I'm basically a vegetarian. I say basically because I believe there are real health benefits associated with organic grass-fed meat. According to EatWild.com, compared with feedlot meat, meat from grass-fed beef, bison and lamb has less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories. It also has more vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C and a number of health-promoting fats, including omega-3 fatty acids.
That said it's not always easy to find good meat sources. Most of the meat, eggs and dairy products that are readily available come from animals raised in horrific conditions in large factory farms. This feedlot meat provided from these facilities is offered year-round at a cheap price but the hidden costs associated with this type of "farming" are astronomical. These costs include animal abuse, environmental pollution and denatured food.
On Mondays we've joined the Meatless Monday movement. This helps our grocery budget and ensures our healthy meat goes a little further.
The Meatless Monday website gives additional reasons to avoid factory farm meat and their goal is help reduce meat consumption by 15% in order to improve personal health and the health of our planet. They are a non-profit initiative, in association with Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health.
One of my favorite recipes to make on Meatless Monday:
Pesto Pasta
A bunch of fresh basil ¼ cup grated fresh parmesan cheese ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 3 T pine nuts 3 garlic cloves
Blend until desired consistency. Mix into your favorite prepared pasta. Garnish plates with some raw veggies and crusty whole grain bread and it's a quick, yummy meal. And, if you feel a cold coming on, kick up the garlic!
Do you have any tips for ensuring your family is eating healthy while balancing your household budget?

Blind Items Revealed - Kindness - Memorial Day
Instead of a blind item in this position today, I am revealing a kindness that an actor did for some military personnel.
March 5, 2014
This foreign born B list mostly movie actor is an Academy Award winner/nominee and is loved by lots of women. Lots. Very attractive guy. He is also very generous. He was flying this past week and noticed a bunch of military people waiting to board his flight. He asked about first class seats for the personnel and our actor bought the four available first class seats and gave up the two he had. For the rest of the personnel that didn't fly first class he bought them unlimited drinks and bought them all food before they got on the plane. His total bill for everything was about $20K but the memories he provided for the troops will last a lifetime.

General Comments: Cotton was mixed in consolidation trading. Support came from talk of significant progress in the US-China trade war meetings held in Beijing this week. Ideas are that the dispute could be resolved by the March deadline or at least very close to that date. Selling came as no details were announced about the negotiations, and as no amounts or time frame for any ag purchases from the US were made public. The Indian crop remains smaller, but the US crop appears big enough to meet any and all of the demand that has been much reduced so far this year. World production and supplies are going still lower due to bad weather in the growing season for major producers around the world, including India, Pakistan, and Australia. Demand for US Cotton has been disappointing, as the weekly export sales reports have shown average demand at best since the start of the marketing year. China has not bought any US Cotton this year and has been active in other markets, especially India.

General Comments: FCOJ was lower as the weather in Florida remains very good and as the harvest pace remains active. The fruit is abundant, but arrivals to packing houses and processors are reported behind last year. Florida producers are seeing small sized to good sized fruit, and work in groves maintenance is active. Irrigation is being used in all areas. Packing houses are open to process fruit for the fresh market, and all processors are open in the state to take packing house eliminations and fresh fruit. Mostly good conditions are reported in Brazil, but producers are worried about the current hot and dry spell that could hurt development.
Overnight News: Florida should get some showers on Friday and the weekend, then dry weather. Temperatures will average near to below normal. Brazil should get mostly dry weather and above normal temperatures. ICE said that 1 notice was posted for delivery today and that total deliveries for the month are now 66 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to down with objectives of 122.00 January. Support is at 122.00, 120.00, and 117.00 January, with resistance at 126.00, 128.00, and 132.00 January.
General Comments: Futures were lower in New York and London was a little higher. Ag markets in general were weaker and Coffee could not escape the general selling interest. Cash markets were quiet. The Brazil crops are almost harvested, and production estimates still range as high as 63.7 million bags. It is a big crop and the main reason to see prices in New York as low as they are right now. Producers expect production to drop next year as it will be the off year in the biennial cycle. El Nino remains in the forecast and Coffee areas in Brazil could be affected by drought that could hurt production even more. Many areas are dry now, and the forecast calls for more dry weather. Vietnam is active in its harvest and middlemen were said to be active buyers of the harvest at levels just above the industry. The harvest will wind down this month. Production in Vietnam is estimated less than 30 million bags due to uneven weather during the growing season.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.465 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 102.47 ct/lb. Brazil will get mostly dry weather. Temperatures should be near to above normal. Colombia should get isolated showers. Central America and southern Mexico should get showers or dry conditions. Vietnam will get mostly dry weather.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 109.00 and 115.00 March. Support is at 103.00, 102.00, and 99.00 March, and resistance is at 106.00, 107.00 and 110.00 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1500, 1480, and 1470 March, and resistance is at 1560, 1610, and 1630 March.
General Comments: New York and London closed lower for one more day despite firmer world petroleum prices. Northwest India had been experiencing hot and dry weather that could cut yields. Industry sources told news wires that there is plenty of Sugar in the country to sell. There does not appear to be much buying interest, and the government there is now thinking of subsidizing ethanol production as a way to reduce the surplus. Dry conditions continue in northern Brazil, while the rains continue in the south. Conditions are mostly good in Ukraine. Very good conditions are reported in Thailand, but the next production could be less as farmers might switch to other crops due to low prices for Sugarcane.
Overnight News: Brazil will mostly dry weather in the north and showers in the south. Temperatures should be near to below normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1250, 1220, and 1190 March, and resistance is at 1290, 1300, and 1320 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 343.00, 340.00, and 339.00 March, and resistance is at 350.00, 351.00, and 354.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed a little higher in New York and mixed in London. Trends are still up in both markets, and the weekly charts still show that a significant up side move is possible. Daily charts show a consolidation pattern for the short term. It is a weather market due to the hot and dry conditions seen in West Africa. The outlook for more hot and dry weather has created some speculative buying. The main crop harvest is active in West Africa. Main crop production ideas for Ivory Coast and Ghana are being reduced, and ideas are increasing that the mid crop harvest will be much smaller than normal. The crop production estimates might become smaller due to Harmattan winds that could appear at any time and hot and dry conditions that have moved into West Africa. These conditions can take moisture out of the soil very rapidly and cause some very significant stress on the trees. Conditions appear good in East Africa and Asia. Demand is said to be improving as offers from the new harvest start to increase.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see showers. Temperatures should average above normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and near to above normal temperatures. ICE certified stocks are a little higher today at 3.467 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2350, 2320, and 2290 March, with resistance at 2400, 2440, and 2480 March. Trends in London are mixed to down with objectives of 1690 and 1500 March. Support is at 1690, 1660, and 1590 March, with resistance at 1730, 1750, and 1770 March.
DJ Nigeria Cocoa Association Cuts 2018-19 Output Forecast Again
By Obafemi Oredein
Special to Dow Jones Newswires
IBADAN, Nigeria–The Cocoa Association of Nigeria has again lowered its cocoa production forecast for the 2018-19 season, citing weather issues.
Cocoa output is now expected at 260,000 tons compared with the 310,000 tons previously forecast, CAN president Sayina Riman said Thursday.
"The [cocoa crop] yield last year wasn't as much as expected, it fell short of our projections," Mr. Riman said, while commenting on talk of an early end to the season's main crop cocoa harvest.
Prior to the latest downgrade, Mr. Riman had in September said output could be around 280,000 tons instead of the 310,000 tons originally expected due to heavy flooding on farms and an outbreak of black-pod disease.
Farmers and traders in Nigeria's major cocoa-producing southwest in October said the main crop harvest was weak due to poor cocoa tree fruiting and climate problems, while CAN vice president Joshua Oyedele also said at the time that he thought the season's low yield was connected to climate change.
With the final main crop harvest already underway, farmers and traders dashed any earlier hopes that the harvest would continue well into the new year–around March–because of last year's later-than-usual rainfall in the southwest and southeast.
"Cocoa is virtually gone," Mr. Oyedele said, while trader Johnbull Ewerami called the midwest harvest "poor and skeletal."
