What were you doing ten years ago today? I'll tell you what you were doing ten years ago today.
You were meeting me for the first time. And me you.
Happy anniversary, co-blogger. Our first game together was June 17, 1995, exactly a decade past. Time really books the Concorde, don't it?
The occasion, you will no doubt recall, was the heralded Major League debut of one Bill Pulsipher, the lefty who was going to lead this team into the 21st century. Him and Isringhausen and Wilson, of course. They would come later. Pulse was here first. We had to see him. We had to see him now.
It was appropriate in that Bill Pulsipher was like some coat of arms to the loose confederation of Mets fans who were making themselves known to me via America Online in 1994-95. I'll never forget the two sensations I felt when I discovered there was an electronic medium in which one could write one's feelings about baseball and have other people read them and write back almost instantly.
1) Wow, there are other Mets fans in the world.
2) Wow, all these other Mets fans are investing a lot of faith in minor leaguers most of them have ever seen before, especially Bill Pulsipher.
But a prospect's a prospect, especially to a team that was mired in fourth place and on a five-year losing streak. So Pulse it was that hot, sunny day. My, it was sunny. It was so sunny that I came home with my worst ballpark sunburn ever. From that day forward, I always packed the sunscreen.
We met cute, as they say in the movies. I said look for the guy in the New York Giants cap. You said you'd have on a Capital City Bombers lid. Later, we each admitted, we weren't sure what the other guy's headgear would look like, but we figured it out. It wasn't like there was a stampede of Pulseheads between us so we couldn't find one another. Paid attendance: 20,000 and change. Hence, I apologize as I did ten years ago today for finding us such relatively lousy seats in the left field mezzanine. I was the older, more New York-based of us. I was supposed to know how to buy two tickets. Oh well. At least we got some sun.
So did Brett Butler. Pulse was who we came to see but it was Brett Butler who I remember standing out for all the wrong reasons. There are no errors in the box score, but I recall Butler having a hard time with a fly ball in the sun. And a hard time up with runners on. This was the day the crowd en masse turned on Brett Butler, the man who came to New York with the stated goal of teaching Carl Everett and Ricky Otero how to play center (he actually said that), but by June 17 was working the phones to get himself traded back to Los Angeles.
Years later, incidentally, a letter crossed my desk from a celebrity speakers bureau. It offered me and my organization a chance to have baseball great Brett Butler share his inspirational story with us. Only $20,000. (I passed.)
Pulse gave up five in the first but unlike today's coddling managers, Dallas Green left him out there in the heat to find himself, and in Pulselike fashion, he almost did. Gave up only two more runs over the next six. Bill Pulsipher was allowed to pitch seven innings in his Major League debut after giving up five runs to the Astros in the first inning. That was crazy or brave or both and perhaps a cause of his arm miseries to come. (The night before, the Mets lost a 16-inning affair in which Bobby Jones pitched ten, so Green presumably had a short bullpen, let alone a shorter fuse for those who preached pitch counts.)
Well, the Mets didn't win that day. It was Houston, 7-3 — my seventh consecutive loss as a Shea-going fan, so in that sense, nothing unusual. But I do consider June 17, 1995 a milestone in my life as a fan. It was the first time I went to a Mets game with somebody I met through what seemed like such revolutionary channels, but by no means the last. Because we hit it off, I continued to e-chat up other Mets fans, many of whom became and remain good friends, none of whom have revealed themselves to be knife-wielding stalkers or craven swindlers yet.
More to the point, I've enjoyed our relationship no end in virtual reality as well as real reality these last ten years. I will tell you now in front of, oh, dozens of readers that there's not another soul whose ramblings, ruminations and recriminations regarding the New York Mets I look forward to as much as yours. I couldn't have a better blogoshpere roommate or company for all the Pulsiphers, Pratts, Paytons, Piazzas and Pedros who have come along since.
This Internet thing you were raving to me about in 1995 as I scoffed that it would never last — it may turn out to be something after all.

Welcome to EnVaDoR's Case pictures website. This is where I post pictures of strange, unusual and weird computer cases I've made ... and whatever else I feel like putting online :) UPDATE!I launched an actual product. The GoGoStand folding iPhone (all generations) stand that fits in your wallet. Check it out at www.GoGoStand.com
10/13/2010 - ArcadeDock! New Mod! The ArcadeDock for Lenovo. And yes, LovePC still ain't gettin' no love. It's been moved from one storage unit to another. Someday...
1/29/2007 - LCD Touchframe! Ok, so LovePC is still sitting in the corner, looking for love in all the wrong places. In the meantime, check out the LCD Touchframe I made from used parts off Craigslist! :)
email me if you like my work.
4/20/2006 - "What happens to old Mods?" What happens to a mod after its 15 minutes of fame? It gets gutted and the parts get re-used for other mods. If it's lucky, the latest mod could become my daily-use computer for a few months. This was the case for LovePC -- it was my main desktop computer for most of 2003. Many mods came and went, but LovePC dutifully performed its tasks. Eventually I got a laptop and LovePC's coin slots began collecting dust, the tissue ran out, case lights dimmed, and the LCD completely stopped working. My cat even took a leak on the video card when I once left the case open to connect an extra hard drive. (Jealous cat?)
4 housing moves later, LovePC has been sitting in my closet(s) for nearly 3 years... Since sponsor support for my next mod has been pretty slow, it's time to take matters into my own hands. Over the next few days/weeks, I'll restore LovePC to its former glory with an updated CPU and motherboard, replacing lights, the PSU, and getting the LCD functioning again. Once done, I'm going to try my luck on eBay and see how much I get get for this thing. It's had its share in the limelight, so maybe some kind soul could ante up a bit of cash to help fund my hobby! Check back for updates!
3/26/2006 - ASP AJAX LinkTracker I've released an ASP AJAX Link Tracker that keeps a list of link clicks. This is different than a hit counter or a visitor log because the Link Tracker is a utility you add for each of your web pages. A special hotkey (Ctrl-X) triggers the Link Tracker and overlays all links on the page with a hit counter. This is especially useful for analyzing what links are popuplar to your visitors.

If you use Outlook Web Access to check email, you'll know that the new mail notification is a little lacking. This program is basically an Outlook mail icon that sits in your system tray to monitor your Outlook Web Access account. It notifies you with msn-style popups when you have new mail.

Shout outs to OutCaster for the awesome design!

The Internet has been a great place for me to learn about computers and meet great friends. Here's my chance to give back a little. In my spare time (what little I have) I've been working on an online bill splitting calculator. I envision this as a simple tool that roommates, co-workers and friends can use whenever the need arises. All you do is enter the list of bills/expenses and list the people and hit the calculate button. The bill split calculator then spits out a list of payment instructions. Easy as 1-2-3. I plan to expand the bill split calculator to handle logins and groups of users (like roommates).
I guess you've noticed that my cases all have a "Time Spent" note on each of them. I've been getting questions about this so I thought I'd clarify on this and even add my 2 cents to the discussion. The "Time Spent" is the time I actually spend working on the case... building it with tools and other devices of mass destruction. This time doesn't include the time I spend thinking about it in my spare time -- like when I'm sitting on a plane, daydreaming or when I'm eating breakfast. Times like that don't count toward the overall "Time Spent" calculation. On those time measurements, 1 week does not mean 1 entire sleepless week of working either. Normally each day it would be 2 to 3 hours of work, or maybe a 5 or 6 hour stretch on the last night. So, to answer the question many of you are probably dying to ask, "No, I do not have way too much time on my hands." Everyone has a hobby - stamp collecting, baseball cards, music, etc... And for any hobby, people will find the spare time to spend, be it skipping this week's Simpson's episode or just having the time on a lazy Sunday afternoon. By day, I am a database and computer network consultant. It shouldn't seem odd that my hobby is computer-related. In fact, my clients find it to their benefit to have someone that has a genuine personal interest in computers and a good working knowledge of the hardware. In its own way, computer case design of this sort ( some might call it case modding, but in this situation, I'm not "moddifying" a case in the litteral sense; I'm creating cases from scratch) could be an expression of art. Whatever you want to call it, I call it my hobby.

Some Press Opinions
Dr. M. D. EDER in "The New Age"
"Yours also is the Reincarnation and the Life, O laughing lion that is to be! "Here you have distilled for our delight the inner spirit of the Tulip's form, the sweet secret mystery of the Rose's perfume: you have set them free from all that is material whilst preserving all that is sensual. 'So also the old mystics were right who saw in every phenomenon a dog-faced demon apt only to seduce the soul from the sacred mystery.' Yes, but the phenomenon shall it not be as another sacred mystery; the force of attraction still to be interpreted in terms of God and the Psyche? We shall reward you by befoulment, by cant, by misunderstanding, and by understanding. This to you who wear the Phrygian cap, not as symbol of Liberty, O ribald ones, but of sacrifice and victory, of Inmost Enlightenment, of the soul's deliverance from the fetters of the very soul itself --- fear not; you are not 'replacing truth of thought by mere expertness of mechanical skill.' "You who hold more skill and more power than your great English predecessor, Robertus de Fluctibus, you have not feared to reveal 'the Arcana which are in the Adytum of God-nourished Silence' to those who, abandoning nothing, will sail in the company of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross towards the Limbus, that outer, unknown world encircling so many a universe."
"John Bull," in the course of a long review by Mr. HERBERT VIVIAN
"The author is evidently that rare combination of genius, a humorist and a philosopher. For pages he will bewilder the mind with abstruse esoteric pronouncements, and then, all of a sudden, he will reduce his readers to hysterics with some surprisingly quaint conceit. I was unlucky to begin reading him at breakfast and I was moved to so much laughter that I watered my bread with my tears and barely escaped a convulsion." "The Times" "The Light wherein he writes is the L.V.X., of that which, first mastering and then transcending the reason, illumines all the darkness cause by the interference of the opposite waves of thought. ... It is one of the most suggestive definitions of KONX --- the LVX of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross --- that it transcends all the possible pairs of opposites. Nor does this sound nonsensical to those who are acquainted with that LVX. But to those who do not it must remain as obscure and ridiculous as spherical trigonometry to the inhabitants of Flatland."
"The Literary Guide"
"He is a lofty idealist. He sings like a lark at the gates of heaven. 'Konx Om Pax' is the apotheosis of extravagance, the last word in eccentricity. A prettily told fairy-story 'for babes and sucklings' has 'explanatory notes in Hebrew and Latin for the wise and prudent' --- which notes, as far as we can see, explain nothing --- together with a weird preface in scraps of twelve or fifteen languages. The best poetry in the book is contained in the last section --- 'The Stone of the Philosophers.' Here is some fine work."

BOOK OF THE SACRED MAGIC (The) OF ABRA-MELIN THE MAGE, as delivered by Abraham the Jew unto his Son Lamech, A.D. 1458. Translated from the Original Hebrew into French, and now rendered into English. From a unique and valuable MS. in the "Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal" at Paris; with copious Notes and Magical Squares of Letters. By L. S. MACGREGOR-MATHERS. 4"to, black cloth, Magical Square on side in gold." 1900. (Pub. at 21"s.")., Postage free. 10"s." 6"p."
The original work, of which this is a translation, is unique, no other copy being known, although both Bulwer Lytton and Eliphas Levi were well aware of its existence; the former having based part of his description of the sage Rosicrucian une junier{WEH NOTE: "sic", s.b. "Mejnour"} on that of Abra-Melin, while the account of the so-called Observatory of Sir Philip Derval in the "Strange Story" was, to some extent, copied from that of the Magical Oratory and Terrace given in the present work. There are also other interesting points too numerous to be given here in detail. It is felt therefore that by its publication a service is rendered to lovers of rare and curious Books, and to Students of Occultism, by placing within their reach a magical work of so much importance, and one so interestingly associated with the respective authors of "Zanoni" and of the "Dogma and Ritual of Transcendental Magic." The Magical Squares or combinations of letters, placed in a certain manner, are said to possess a peculiar species of automatic intelligent vitality, apart from any of the methods given for their use; and students are recommended to make no use of these whatever unless this higher Divine Knowledge is approached in a frame of mind worthy of it.

THIS book contains in concise tabulated form a comparative view of all the symbols of the great religions of the world; the perfect attributions of the Taro, so long kept secret by the Rosicrucians, are now for the first time published; also the complete secret magical correspondences of the G.'. D.'. and R. R. et A. C. It forms, in short, a complete magical and philosophical dictionary; a key to all religions and to all practical occult working.
For the first time Western and Qabalistic symbols have been harmonized with those of Hinduism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Taoism, etc. By a glance at Tables, anybody conversant with any one system can understand perfectly all others.
The "Occult Review" says:
"Despite its cumbrous sub-title and high price per page, this work has only to come under the notice of the right people to be sure of a ready sale. In its author's words, it represents 'an attempt to systematise alike the data of mysticism and the results of comparative religion,' and so far as any book can succeed in such an attempt, this book does succeed; that is to say, it condenses in some sixty pages as much information as many an intelligent reader at the Museum has been able to collect in years. The book proper consists of a Table of 'Correspondences,' and is, in fact, an attempt to reduce to a common denominator the symbolism of as many religious and magical systems as the author is acquainted with. The denominator chosen is necessarily a large one, as the author's object is to reconcile systems which divide all things into 3, 7, 10, 12, as the case may be. Since our expression 'common denominator' is used in a figurative and not in a strictly mathematical sense, the task is less complex than appears at first sight, and the 32 Paths of the Sepher Yetzirah, or Book of Formation of the Qabalah, provide a convenient scale. These 32 Paths are attributed by the Qabalists to the 10 Sephiroth, or Emanations of Deity, and to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which are again subdivided into 3 mother letters, 7 double letters, and 12 simple letters. On this basis, that of the Qabalistic 'Tree of Life,' as a certain arrangement of the Sephiroth and 22 remaining Paths connecting them is termed, the author has constructed no less than 183 tables.
"The Qabalistic information is very full, and there are tables of Egyptian and Hindu deities, as well as of colours, perfumes, plants, stones, and animals. The information concerning the tarot and geomancy exceeds that to be found in some treatises devoted exclusively to those subjects. The author appears to be acquainted with Chinese, Arabic, and other classic texts. Here your reviewer is unable to follow him, but his Hebrew does credit alike to him and to his printer. Among several hundred words, mostly proper names, we found and marked a few misprints, but subsequently discovered each one of them in a printed table of errata, which we had overlooked. When one remembers the misprints in 'Agrippa' and the fact that the ordinary Hebrew compositor and reader is no more fitted for this task than a boy cognisant of no more than the shapes of the Hebrew letters, one wonders how many proofs there were and what the printer's bill was. A knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet and the Qabalistic Tree of Life is all that is needed to lay open to the reader the enormous mass of information contained in this book. The 'Alphabet of Mysticism,' as the author says --- several alphabets we should prefer to say --- is here. Much that has been jealously and foolishly kept secret in the past is here, but though our author has secured for his work the "imprimatur" of some body with the mysterious title of the A ∴ A ∴, and though he remains himself anonymous, he appears to be no mystery-monger. Obviously he is widely read, but he makes no pretence that he has secrets to reveal. On the contrary, he says, 'an indicible arcanum is an arcanum which "cannot" be revealed.' The writer of that sentence has learned at least one fact not to be learned from books.

What we do
We offer services for MACC students who have disabilities in order to ensure access and equal opportunity for all students to pursue their educational goals. Eligible students may register for services with our office, and we will develop a plan with each student for reasonable and appropriate accommodations related to their individual disabilities.
Who is eligible
Students who have a documented disability are eligible to register for services with our office. Disabilities may involve physical or mobility impairments, vision or hearing impairments, psychological diagnoses, learning disabilities, or other relevant diagnosed conditions.
Types of services
Available services might include, but are not limited to, classroom adaptations, print magnifiers, enlargement of tests and printed materials, extended time on testing, out-of-class testing, peer note-takers, test scribes, test readers, alternative textbook formats, text-to-speech software, interpreter services, transition services, liaison with faculty and staff, and liaison with community agencies such as Vocational Rehabilitation.
How to get registered for services
- Contact our office to discuss services and eligibility, and to schedule a confidential appointment.
- Provide required documentation of disability. (See guidelines below.)
- Meet with us to complete the process of getting registered for services. (Note: for students who are unable to travel to the Moberly or Columbia offices, we will schedule phone appointments.)
Important things to note:
- Students may apply for services at any time throughout a semester. However, to ensure that accommodations are in place and that assistive aids are available by the beginning of a semester, students should start the process of registering for services 6 weeks prior to the first day of classes.
- Scheduled appointments are encouraged so we can guarantee availability and provide students with the best possible service.
Documentation of disability
Documentation is needed in order to certify that a disability is present. It is also used to clarify how the disability will impact the student in college courses so that appropriate accommodations can be identified. General guidelines for documentation are listed below; however, documentation requirements may vary depending on the disability. Students can discuss individual documentation requirements in more detail with our staff.
General guidelines for documentation requirements include the following:
- Statement of diagnosis that identifies the disability and date of original diagnosis
- Description of current functional limitations related to the educational setting
- Documentation must be on official letterhead or cite the credentials of the medical, psychiatric, or psychological professional qualified in the particular area of disability
- If relevant, current medications and possible effects on physical, cognitive or other abilities
- If relevant, a description of current or past accommodations or assistive aids, along with their effectiveness in reducing functional limitations
Additional notes on documentation
- Documentation should be relatively recent in order to reflect current condition and limitations.
- Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 Plans from high school can provide helpful information but may not be sufficient documentation. Formal evaluations conducted during high school usually include the diagnostic information listed above and typically do fulfill documentation requirements.
- All disability documentation remains private and separate from student academic records.

The last piece of mail I received before we left our old house were the last two copies of Flea Market Style. What a visual treat!
There are so many wonderful ideas in these two magazines that I honestly don't know where to start! I can hardly wait to get into our new house and start decorating. After three nights spent on a cot in my mother's living room, I am more than ready to get into the new house. We get the keys today at 5:15. Hurray!!!! Since it is a rental, I am limited in the changes I can make. We have been given the go ahead to paint if we like and to tear out old carpeting to show the hardwood underneath but that is about it. Everything else is going to take creativity to work with the bare bones of the place. I am so up for the challenge!

With a big boost from China, "Life of Pi" is off to a fast start at the overseas box office.
It added $23.8 million from 11 international markets over the weekend, raising its overseas total to $105 million in just three weeks, with many key markets yet to come. It showed remarkable staying power, dropping just three percent from last week despite no new openings.

"Pi" held the top spot in five markets, including China ($14.6 million, up 6 percent), where its $68.3 million gross to date has already surpassed the total runs earlier this year of "Dark Knight Rises" ($52 million) and "The Amazing Spiderman" ($48 million).Chinese officials required those to films to open against each other in August, which surely hurt the totals of both.
The week's top-grossing film internationally was Paramount's "Rise of the Guardians." The 3D animated holiday tale took in $26 million from 58 foreign markets, including No. 1 finishes in the U.K., France, Italy and Mexico. Its overall foreign gross is $90.5 million and its worldwide total is $151 million.
"Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" added $23.5 million from 74 overseas markets. It has brought in $482 million internationally and this week became the highest-grossing "Twilight" film ever globally. Coupled with the $268 million it had made domestically, it has an overall worldwide gross of $751 million.
Also read: Independent Box Office: 'Hyde Park' Averages $20K Per Theater
Sony and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Skyfall" added another $20.3 million overseas this weekend. That brings the international total to $656.6 million. With the estimated $261.6 million from North America, "Skyfall" has now taken in $918 million worldwide — the highest grossing film ever released by Sony Pictures beating 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($890 million).
On "Skyfall," Sony's markets earned an estimated $18.8 million overseas to bring the total to $571.1. MGM's distribution partners grossed an estimated $1.6 million to bring their overall number to $85.5 million.
"Skyfall" remained No. 1 in Australia for the third consecutive weekend with $4.8 million, raising its total there to $33.5 million. It added $3.3 million from its second week in Japan, bringing its overall market total to $13.2 million.

Spring Quarter 2017 Week 3: Riot Tour
On the 13th of April. WICS toured Riot Games' corporate campus in Los Angeles to gain insight of the game development industry as well as learn what drives the success behind Riot's popular game, League of Legends.
Upon our arrival at the campus, we were warmly greeted by Grant Cushman, Riot's University Relations Recruiter, who was our guide for the tour. After getting our name tags, Grant gave us a brief introduction to what League of Legends is and shared with us how it has grew to become a big part of competitive eSports. We were then greeted by a large Annie and Tibbers statue in the main lobby and all of us were excited to take pictures with it. Next, we were led to see meeting rooms themed after League of Legends' champions, a cafe with a Bilgewater (pirate) interior, a large cafeteria serving a wide selection of food, an arcade filled with retro game machines, an internet cafe lined with rows of gaming computers and open workspaces in which almost every desk had at least two monitors and a hardworking employee.
Our tour was wrapped up by a Q&A session with 3 software engineers who worked in different departments. They shed some light into the life of working in a game company, the challenges they face as well as how working in the game industry contrasts to working in other industries. Since we were a small group of 18, we were able to ask all of our questions and learned a lot from these experienced programmers. We were also inspired by how Riot employees seemed to have a "work hard, play hard" philosophy, as many of them play games together while still taking their work very seriously.
Overall, we are truly grateful to Riot Games for giving us this opportunity to tour their campus as we learned a lot about the game industry. Thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you again!

I am but a lowly LPN. No one outside of health care understands the limitations associated with that license. I try not to even tell anyone I am a nurse because the next thing you know I hear someone say, "Hey you're a nurse, right?" followed by the inevitable MD level medical question and a request for advice and a diagnosis.
I do sort of get my situation, but a librarian. Mother of God. - April 15, 2014 at 9:45 AM

Last night I stopped at big book store on my way home and I spied out of my good eye Harper's Magazine which had a great article about being your own best doctor. It had a lot of stuff about how to communicate with your doctor, but precious little about putting Ben Gay or any other such stuff in your eye. Go figure.
- April 15, 2014 at 9:48 AM
I'm a pharmacist. Even I would recommend 'A Wrinkle in Time' and 'Phantom Tollbooth' and I absolutely thrilled each time I reread 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' in elementary school. Too bad, the patients ask the person out front dusting the shelves all the good questions, which is why the Head-On is on an end-cap, where someone from the deli (in uniform) passing by can point out easily.

Browser market share is important to a webmaster, or at least it will be until IE6, 7 and 8 disappear (my guess is the year 2532, more or less).
What is the most trustable, versatile and ultimately useful source of browser market share data? Bonus points if:
- It's updated more than once a year
- Data is segmented geographically
- Data is segmented by site category / area of interest
- Data is segmented in other ways (age? that'd be awesome!)
I don't think that the site with the "most" data is necessary the best - but feel free to prove me wrong!

Chicken in Mustard
Recipe courtesy Melissa d"Arabian
Prep Time:15 minInactive Prep Time:5 minCook Time:1 hr 30 min
4 servings
1 1/2 to 2 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
1/4 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
Super Buttered Noodles, recipe follows
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Rinse and dry the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the thighs on both sides, working in batches if needed. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the Dutch oven and cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until the mushrooms have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and flour and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flour flavor, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tarragon. Turn up the heat and deglaze the pan with the white wine, allowing to bubble for a minute or two. Return the chicken to the Dutch oven. Add enough chicken stock to reach halfway up the sides of the chicken. Cover, place in the oven, and braise for 45 minutes, removing the lid halfway through.
When finished, remove the chicken from the Dutch oven and set aside. Add the mustard and sour cream and whisk to blend well. Return the chicken to the pan and allow the flavors to meld before serving, about 5 minutes. Serve over Super Buttered Noodles.
Super Buttered Noodles:
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pound egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a large pot filled with boiling water, dissolve the bouillon cubes and cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles in a colander and then nestle the colander into the pot so some of the pasta water goes into the pot as the pasta continues to drain. Remove the colander and stir the butter and sour cream into the pot until the butter melts. Add the parsley and the noodles. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine well. Pour into a serving bowl and serve.

I'll be knitting it in Madelinetosh Merino Grove 1 (MC) and Terrarium 3 - I hope the colors look as good in person as they do on the website. *crossing fingers* There is a lot of change going on in my life right now and I will be using this pattern as a mediation of sorts so I will be taking my time.
That being said - I can't wait to get the yarn so I can cast on! - February 18, 2010 at 7:45 PM

That is just beautiful. I've got the body done and just kind of stalled on the sleeves. It'll hopefully get done before it's to nice to wear it.

Gorgeous! Question: did you use the same colorway as the original? Yours looks very similar, but still different... (wow i'm so well articulated :P)
I'll definitely be saving the link to those buttons - a...mazingly pretty. - February 19, 2010 at 3:31 AM

Once you redo your button band could you discuss more on the podcast the change (in picking up stitches for the button band that you made). Thank you.
- March 4, 2010 at 5:31 AM
I'm adding this pattern to my queue and especially love the yarn you chose. Without seeing yours finished I would not have chosen that colorway but now I find it's really lovely and will prefer it over others.

More Letters, Emails and Twits
By way of Climate Science Watch a response from the authors of Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States 2009 on the Pat Michaels CATO Fake Addendum. They are not amused.
It is not an update, explanation, or supplement by the authors of the original report. Rather, it is a completely separate document lacking rigorous scientific analysis and review.
The authors of the Cato Institute report agree with our Committee's conclusions that global warming is unequivocal and consistent with a change in greenhouse gas effects attributable to human activities. They also conclude that climate change will continue to occur as greenhouse gas concentrations increase. However, their conclusions that future climate change will be benign, if not beneficial, and easily adapted to, diverge markedly from our Committee's view regarding the seriousness of the risks. This is because the Cato Institute authors assume—based on their own analysis and contrary to peer-reviewed, contemporary science—that warming, intensification of weather extremes, polar ice cap melting, and sea-level rise will all be at the lowest end of the ranges projected in the Fourth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change.
The peer-reviewed literature published since our Committee's 2009 report overwhelmingly supports our conclusions and, in some cases, suggests the consequences of climate change may be greater and more rapidly developing than we originally projected. Several assessments subsequently published by the U.S. National Academy of Science's National Research Council on climate change science (Climate Stabilization Targets and America's Climate Choices: Advancing the Science of Climate Change), sea-level rise (Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon and Washington), and ocean acidification (Ocean Acidification: A National Strategy to Meet the Challenges of a Changing Ocean) are consistent with the Committee's findings and contradict many of those in the Cato Institute report.The eagerly anticipated pinata has not been released, indeed, it looks like the schedule is slipping which Eli has from the old eraserhead himself over at WTs
Imitation, in this case, is a form of mockery.
Please note that the version in the linked pdf is a VERY OLD FIRST DRAFT from last June that was included as part of my commentary on EPA's proposed power plant rulemaking. I haven't put the final pdf up because the final (nugatory) copy editing will not be complete until next week.
However I will be HAPPY to fed ex anyone the existing proof copy, which is somewhat different than the draft pdf, and much better. Just email me your address and a contact phone for FedEx.Eli suspects several will take him up on this, however, the take home is that the pre-publication publicity of a non-complementary type has, as they say moved the target, and considering the likely political use that it was aimed at, a week or more slippage right now makes a big difference. Eli closes with the kind words of Willard Tony
Meanwhile the collection of small animals and wannabe superheros (Stoat, Rabett, Supermandia) are all over this as if their comic opinions make any difference.Eli appreciates that:)

The NYC Department of Parks & Rec is making it easy to recycle your x-mas tree into wood chips this year with MULCHFEST. Bring your tree to a local park on 1/11 or 1/12 from 10am-2pm, and take home your own bag of mulch to use in your backyard (or as a winter bed for your baby street tree). The donated mulch will be used to nourish plants across the city.
Trees can be dropped off at McGolrick, and McCarren, but if you want that mulch gift bag, head to McCarren, where your tree will be converted to wood chips right in front of your eyes. MAGIC.
If you can't make it (or just cannot lug your huge-ass tree all the way to a park), put it on the curb for pickup anytime between now and 1/15. Just make sure to take off all the decorations first. Tinsel and lights are pretty, but not super compostable.
More than 26,000 trees were recycled last year. That's like a small forest, right?

Did you know that Andy Warhol was a huge cat lover? He and his mother, Julia Warhola, both loved cats and had several of their own, all named Sam except for one called Hester.
In the 1950s, before Warhol became famous for his pop art, he worked as an advertising illustrator and graphic artist. During this time he created numerous whimsical drawings of cats. He even created a limited edition artist's book 25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy (that's not a typo, the d was originally left off "Name" in error, but Warhol liked it and kept the mistake.) Apparently the cats in this book were based on the images of the famous cat photographer Walter Chandoha, not Warhol's own cats. The original copies of 25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy were given by Warhol as gifts to clients and friends (an original sold in May 2006 for $35,000), but it has been republished and used copies can sometimes be found on Amazon.
Reproductions of all the cat images can be found at Allposters.comfor as little as $9.99 US.
Warhol continued to be inspired by cats, creating this cat portrait in the 1970s using his signature Pop Art style.
Warhol's cats continue to appear on various merchandise, including this 2010 Mini Wall Calendar featuring the drawings in a colorful layout (out of date, yes, but you could cut it up and frame some of the pages), as well as in the book Cats, Cats, Cats published in 1994 featuring 19 black and white and 20 color illustrations accompanied by playful quotes from Warhol's books and diaries.
