Goodbye Sumi House & Ricotta Polenta Rosemary Cake
Today my real estate agent called to tell me my house had been sold. My voice cracked as tears gave way and I thanked her for the call. She has heard me shed many tears over this parting in my life these last few months. A while back I thought it was going to be foreclosed, but in the 11th hour it went into short sale mode. An old neighbor bought it, and now the community treasure that was our land, is back in the hands of the community. A deep sigh of relief. It was quite the feat with environmental easements, first rights of refusal and the sheer high profile of the whole project that kept things tied up along with the bank dragging its feet.
And so I say goodbye. So many things happened in my home. I soaked in the ofuro looking at the manzanita's gnarled branches, memorizing every one. M had chicken pox. M proudly walked me into her pink room and showed me her name she had scribbled in permanent black marker on the wall the size of a bowling ball. The financial markets crashed. Obama became president. I watched the hawks fly over the meadows and heard the squawks of their babies. Years of hearing May Day festivities that spilled late into the night as I lay restless in bed worried about fire, drugs and what it all meant. The pain of my husband and I dissolving like a big rig wreck in slow motion over the course of months. Moths every march while driving down the dirt road. June bugs descent in june that got inevitably caught in my hair. The smell of kitkitdizzi and pine needles baking in the sun that I could smell from my front porch. Giving lost folks on my dirt road directions based on names of those they were visiting and not the address of their destination. Seeing a rare lightning storm come down from the north in July. The smell of fire on an August night from the river canyon that jolted me out of bed. Years and years of New Years Day waffles at Bruce and Holly's house. The seasonal creeks that weaved its way through the meadow every spring. The ancient oak that fell over in the big meadow that became the symbol of our family's dissolve. Pizza parties that smelled the whole house of burnt flour that took days to disperse. Taking trash to the dump. Bonfires and the smell of smoke in my clothes.
It is my heart today feeling the expansion and contraction of putting this to rest. Expansion of letting change take me on its merry wings, to fly to a new place. Contraction of how much I can feel resistance in myself to change and my mind that wants to know what it will look like. My heart has dove so deep into this process that I feel now saying goodbye to this life has been more powerful than the journey to it. And tears come today of equal parts love for myself and how I have let this carve me as it has, becoming more present for life and open-hearted for my humanness, and grief that a beautiful thing has been let go of. I go inside myself then, where the only thing that matters is waiting like it has been since the first spark of sparks. The love of loving everything carries me beyond the illusion that there has been loss when now I know I am only finding myself. And this is what it always has been, a journey into love. Farewell Sumi house, old friend.
A month or so back a local farmer, friend and grain producer asked me to make some dishes to showcase his polenta for an event he was attending. I wanted an almost savory cake that would hold up for the traveling and sitting on a table while keep the ease of serving to hundreds of people. I found Dorie Greenspan's Ricotta Polenta cake recipe and decided to change it around to be more suitable for a hot summer day. It turned out really well.
I halved the sugar, substituted olive oil for butter, skipped all the fruit, added rosemary and added pine nuts to the top. A barely sweet, herbaceous, nutty summer cake.
Ricotta Polenta Rosemary Cake

Poker Night at the Inventory full review
Poker Night at the Inventory is a crossover game of Texas Hold 'Em poker, starring characters from various other video games.
Poker Night at the Inventory is a lot like hanging out with old friends; after a while, you start to pick up on their unique habits amid all the chatter. Strong Bad (of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People) always seems to bluff, so it's never apparent when he's got a good hand. Max (of the Sam & Max series) plays fast and loose with his chips. Team Fortress 2's Heavy rarely backs out of a hand, while Penny Arcade's Tycho usually folds his cards at the first sign of trouble.
But even when their playing styles start to get predictable, it's the witty banter and idle chit-chat among this motley crew that will keep you coming back to Poker Night at the Inventory.
You're playing a high-stakes game of Texas Hold 'Em, with Max, Strong Bad, the Heavy, and Tycho all taking a $10,000 stake in the tournament. While Poker Night at the Inventory isn't the most difficult game of poker that you'll play, half of the fun is hearing the interactions between the characters. In fact, it's one of the few poker games we've played where we were interested enough to continue watching even after getting knocked out.
Although each character's art style is wildly different, Poker Night at the Inventory makes each individual presence feel natural
Moreover, Poker Night at the Inventory's art design really adds to the experience, as each character looks exactly like their video game (or internet) counterpart. Max's and the Heavy's 3D character models look oddly natural seated next to the comparatively cartoonish Strong Bad and Tycho, creating an almost "real life meets cartoon" feel much like that of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's further complemented by the natural flow of chit-chat between each player, with the voice acting adding a lot of depth and comedic timing.
There's even various themes that keep popping up the more you play Poker Night at the Inventory, like Max's insistence that he doesn't really know what the numbers on the cards mean, or the Heavy's awkwardly grim war stories that make everyone at the table flinch. Each routine's great the first time you listen to it, and even when you start to hear the same lines over and over again, you can always use the wisely included option of lowering the game's speech frequency.
By far, the fluidity of the animation and speech is Poker Night at the Inventory's greatest (and most subtle) aspect, as each character engages in scripted conversations while simultaneously placing bets and checking their hands. It contributes to the overall flow better than any other single-player poker game we've seen, and with some expanded dialogue, we could legitimately forget we were playing a computer.
Some card decks and tables can have a big impact on the game's visuals
Still, Poker Night at the Inventory has more than a few odd gameplay quirks that you'll notice every now and then. While each character can smoothly transition from one action to the next, you'll occasionally hear someone repeat a line twice in succession due to a hiccup in scripting. Hardcore poker fans will especially take note of the way each character can sometimes unrealistically react to a 'heads up' showdown, especially when it comes to hands they have no probability of winning.
That, plus the total lack of online content (outside of Team Fortress 2 items), can limit the longevity of Poker Night at the Inventory, especially once you've finished collecting all the card decks and specialty items. If you want to get the most out of the game from a poker-playing standpoint, put the difficulty on 'Hard' and limit the chatter to 'Idle Chit-Chat' from the very start.
Although you can get a more robust poker experience for free from other sites, the $4.95 price (about £3) is well worth the atmosphere you'll get from Poker Night at the Inventory. Sitting down with the likes of Tycho and the Heavy is something that's unique, and the banter is often legitimately funny. Let's just hope that Telltale Games brings more players to the table next time, both online and offline.
The dialogue in Poker Night is one of its best assets. Each character has a script of conversations to carry out over several games, although certain quips can get repeated a little too often

dennis edney is not a man of organized faith and his knowledge of
King's was initially very limited. His eldest son was a student there, but
Mr. Edney knew the university better for a civil rights case that put it on
the wrong side of history.
In 1991, Delwin Vriend, a chemistry instructor and alumnus, was firedby the school after he came out as gay. Mr. Vriend appealed to the AlbertaHuman Rights Commission but his appeal was rejected because the pro-vincial law did not include sexual orientation as a prohibited ground ofdiscrimination. The landmark suit eventually made its way to the Su-preme Court of Canada and forced a rewrite of the human rights code,leaving a stain on King's reputation. "The situation with Delwin Vriendreally broke our community," says Dr. Humphreys. "Maybe you can't drawstraight lines to Omar Khadr, but it gave us an openness, awareness andsensitivity to ways people aren't receiving full justice. We learned someimportant things as a community about how to embrace differences."Despite that, there was some opposition to the students and facultymembers defending Mr. Khadr. Many within the institution's conservativeChristian community had military ties and were disgusted by Mr. Khadr'salleged crimes. "There were friends of mine who thought he should rot inprison," recalls Mr. Brouwer. Ms. Ales recalls an argument with her father:"He said, ' You're Christian, he's Muslim. So why do you care so much?'"Several donors withdrew their funding (though Dr. Humphreys saysthe impact was negligible) and Dr. Zinck personally received threaten-ing letters that were scary enough to involve police. Conservative mediapersonality Ezra Levant accused her of turning King's into "a factory forKhadr groupies."The controversy peaked in August 2010 with Mr. Khadr's long-await-ed military trial at Guantanamo. Mr. Edney asked Dr. Zinck, herself thechild of a parent in the military, to testify as to her student's good charac-ter. By all standards, the trial was a farce, says Dr. Zinck (though she haskept a memento from that time: hanging in her office at King's is a framed,original drawing from Mr. Khadr's trial signed by Janet Hamlin, Gitmo'sofficial court artist). Mr. Khadr pled guilty on all counts in exchange for areduced sentence from 40 to eight years and the possibility of an eventualtransfer to Canada. Also as part of his agreement, Mr. Khadr was allowed
becomes my student. Our student."an in-person education taught by Dr. Zinck. "That's the moment thingschanged," she recalls. "Because it was the moment that Omar Khadr ceasesto be the object of my students' care and concern and becomes my student.
Our student."
after the 2010 trial, Dr. Zinck recruited professors from across Edmonton's three universities to design and implement an interdisciplinary
curriculum for Mr. Khadr built around Canadian literature. For example,
Mr. Khadr read Thomas Wharton's Icefields then undertook a physics lesson on calculating height from a mountainside. The lessons went on for
four years – through the duration of Mr. Khadr's time at Gitmo, where Dr.
Zinck saw him twice more, and after his 2012 repatriation and transfer to
Canadian custody.
But Dr. Zinck was more than an educator and confidante. Like Mr.
Edney, she became an advocate, speaking of Mr. Khadr's appetite for
learning, his humbleness, his peacefulness and warmth. More contentiously, she began to speak of his innocence once he retracted his guilty
plea following extradition.
In 2011, Dr. Zinck's lecture to a University of Alberta Islamic studies
class would reignite Mr. Khadr's cause, which had lost much of its energy
after the original cohort of King's student-activists graduated and moved
on. It was there that Dr. Zinck met Muna Abougoush, a 21-year-old philosophy student who admitted to being somewhat embarrassed that she
hadn't heard of Omar Khadr before.
Ms. Abougoush was active in student groups, raising awareness of the
humanitarian crisis in Darfur, but the magnitude of that crisis left her
feeling that her efforts were futile. Mr. Khadr's case was different and felt
more personal. He was just one human being, close in age and, like her,
from an Arab-Canadian and Islamic household. The parallels disturbed her.
"The way [Dr. Zinck] was involving her community, I wanted to involve
mine," says Ms. Abougoush. While forging relationships with the Islamic
community and fellow U of A students, she co-founded the group Free Omar
Khadr Now with the help of Dr. Zinck's husband Rob Betty and Aaf Post,
a Netherlands designer who spearheaded a robust social media campaign.

John Edward Ogburn
Raleigh — Raleigh police filed second-degree murder charges Wednesday against Cory Lamar Henderson, a 33-year-old Louisburg man in connection with a fatal wreck on Old Wake Forest Road last Saturday. Police said that Henderson tried to pass John Edward "Eddie" Ogburn, 28, who was in a turning lane to go left from Old Wake Forest Road onto Zachary Brook Lane, where he lived. Henderson, of 1560 Ferrells Bridge Road, was initially charged with driving while impaired and felony death by vehicle, among other offenses. He also faces felony charges for injuries suffered by Obgurn's two passengers. Prosecutors said charges can be upgraded in cases of drunk-driving deaths when aggravating factors are present.

Underwear is the greatest invention made by man. Many people claim that they are the inventors of the underwear. But as an historian, It is my duty to set historical precedence right so that the right person is honored. வரலாறு ரொம்ப முக்கியம் அமைச்சரே !.
Underwear was invented by a Tamil man by the name,"அண்டர் வரையார்"(like வானவராயர்) Then by British people it becomes Underwear.
This is a 2000 year old picture unearthed by archaeologists. This picture shows Mr.Undadayer stitching something using his sewing machine. Now as a critic, you would argue that photography was not invented during that time. For all the doubters, let me tell you that this is not a photograph. This is a painting drawn by Ms.Kusalambal Kuppusamy who was a famous painter of that time.
Some other critics might say that Sewing machines were invented only in 1790 by Thomas Saint. Such critics have no other job other than getting their brains conked up by reading some internet articles. Please do not believe all that you read online. Let us come back to Mr.Undadayer .
Mr.Undadayer was a tailor and he lived very long ago. One day when he was stitching clothes, he saw a man running on the streets without any clothes. The naked man was shouting "Eureka, Eureka". A dog chased the naked man and bit his lollipop.
Mr.Undadayer ran to the biting scene and saved the naked man from the dog and treated him. He then stitched an undergarment for the naked man and that particular piece of clothing came to be called as "Mr.Undadayer" (hen it named as underwear).
The naked man was none other than Archimedes. I am sure there will be hundreds of critics who will still not believe this post and will try to find loopholes in this post. But history cannot be repeated just for them.

This Date In History, August the 27th
Today's date August the 27h produced some memorable people and events in the 20th Century; such as:
Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president was born in 1908. I looked for a picture of LBJ showing his operation scar but couldn't find it. I hope the above will do.
In 1912 Edgar Rice Borroughs published TARZAN. Since then many little boys have fell out of trees breaking their bones while giving the Tarzan yell- or was that a scream of pain?
Pee-Wee Herman aka Paul Reubens was born in 1952. Not many people noticed him until he was arrested for fondling himself in a Florida movie house.
Last but not least is Mother Teresa (Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiul) was born in Yugoslavia in 1910. Tell me, if you could take the hand of one of these two religious figures to guide you to Heaven would you take Mother Teresa's hand or Jerry Falwell's?

1: Once there was chaos nothingness for infinite miles, except for the bitter cold temperature. One day the orb which is the chaos froze over and cracked. When the ice unfroze the water created the heavens and the underworld. There was a large piece of ice that did not unfreeze and the created the Earth.
2: When earth, heaven, and the underworld were created the extra water created a god named, Tolgangraph. He was the all powerful god, he ruled over everything and could make anything he wanted. He began to get lonely over the years on created 3 more gods. The 1st was Gregor the ruler of all demi-gods, and god of the elements. The next was Eldwin, the queen of all demi-gods, and the god of all humans. The last was Gandoff, the god of all intelligent beings.
4: The demi-gods went on for centuries creating humanity, landforms, and elements. This is needed for basic human life. Eldwin was mad at Gandoff and created a terrible race of humans who went around the world killing innocent people for no reason.
6: All of he demi-gods were not happy with Eldwin and summand her to see Tolgangraph. He sent her to the underworld, were her job would be to take human life for the rest of the time earth was here. Tolgangraph took her powers and he was now the creator of human life. She was angry and killed 5,000 people every 12 hours and Tolgangraph created 10,000 people every 12 hours. This is how human life was created.

Since we are almost at 19,300, we should follow the Boomer School of Economics and just use a round number of 20,000. I like the sound of that.
Since we are almost at 19,300, we should follow the Boomer School of Economics and just use a round number of 20,000. I like the sound of that.
I do have to say that the one thing we've traditionally not done well is letting the country know about our successes. I ran across this article when trying to look up other info.
The first paragraph caught my eye;
The Center for Visual and Decision Informatics, a leader in big data science and analytics, is poised to become the largest center of its kind in the U.S. after recently receiving approval for a second round of National Science Foundation funding.
Not sure if he was here in 2010, but our appearance on the Discovery Channel was awesome....and the Roman Crane left over from it is still a pretty cool thing to see next time you are on campus.
Saw this as well.
In a special meeting of the Executive Committee, the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System approved fee changes for its nine universities. The average increase of less than three percent is the lowest fee increase in a decade for the more than 90,000 students served by the state's largest system of higher education.
"With the budget stability afforded to us by the legislature and our governor, in addition to the full funding of TOPS, our universities were able to minimize cost increases on our students," UL System President and CEO Jim Henderson said. "We will continue to work with our state's leadership to obtain a stable and significant investment in higher education."
Two universities, Grambling State University and the University of New Orleans, are not implementing any fee increases. The remaining seven universities' increases range from $98 to $212.
Louisiana ranks last among its peers in the Southern Regional Education Board in total resources per student. Universities in Louisiana operate with $12,125 per student, while competitors in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas provide $17,563, $17,510 and $15,370 per student respectively.
"The disparity puts Louisiana universities at a disadvantage in the recruitment and retention of faculty, especially at our research institutions," Henderson said.
Louisiana ranks seventh among its 16 peers in the SREB in total tuition and fees, and 15th in direct state support for colleges and universities on a per student basis.
"Higher education has evolved into a competitive enterprise," Henderson said. "While any increase in cost is significant to students, the average increase of $108 will provide valuable services in the classroom. Now, we must aggressively pursue a state policy environment and institutional cultures that ensure our universities are able to maximize the value received by our students."
Changes only apply to fees, tuition costs remain stable across the System. The Executive Committee met to consider time-sensitive agenda items after a scheduled Board meeting was cancelled due to Tropical Storm Cindy.
Other committee action;
Facilities Planning Committee
-UL Lafayette: approval to name the Student Athlete Performance Center the "Donald and Janice Mosing Student Athlete Performance Center."
-UL Lafayette: approval to name the Welcome Center at Cade Farm the "Dr. Thomas J. Arceneaux Welcome Center."
-UL Lafayette: approval to enter into a Ground Lease/Lease Back Agreement with Ragin' Cajun Facilities, Ic. to renovate and expand FG Mouton Hall to include the creation of the Maraist Financial Services Laboratory.
-UL Lafayette: approval to name the B.I. Moody III College of Business Administration Financial Services Lab the "Maraist Financial Services Laboratory."
Thought this was interesting/funny;
LA Tech: approval to exchange propoerty with Brister Baptist Church located in Arkansas.
I also didn't realize how big that property we gained in the sale of the horse farm could be in this possible housing addition. I copied a google map and aerial version of the village and park areas mentioned in the previous post.
So if you add those 8 acres to the acreage behind the Red Zone (which is just mostly a parking lot) that will give us about 12-14 acres of raw land to build new housing....which is really nice considering how desperately we need to add more on-campus housing, which is really hard to do when you are a land-locked as we are.
That piece of property could be a lot better utilized without the car lot taking out a big chunk of it. I assume the Red Zone building would be gone with any development of that property.
But it would still be cool to have a mixed-use building replace it, with a nice restaurant, shops, etc.

Yea, its complicated and frustrating and interesting.
I think it has more to do with your level, your bread and popularity according to who knows you. It has absolutely nothing to do with talent.
So, they wait and watch from a distance. They are never too close where if you don't make it, they can say that they had nothing to do with you, but they are not too far where if you do make it, they were with you all along.
I know that game, do you?
At some point in time or another, one may go through this. It literally is a watching game. A spectator game.
It is, what can you do for me and if the answer is nothing or it doesn't have FREE up in there somewhere, its just a keep on walking and don't say nothing. It looks appealing to look though.
I think it is more about just waiting to see what happens, how your life plays out. People want to see what they can get out of you.
So, here you are, busting your butt to accomplish something larger than life and the distance watchers watching from afar. If the signs are promising and become true, they want in on what you're doing. They want a piece of the pie.
They are not or were not apart of your struggle, but yet they want to be apart of your success. They say things like, "Remember ME when you get there." "Don't forget about ME when you get to the top." "Don't forget about the little people."
They put their 2 cents in to try and secure a place with you right before you make it. And still, they watch from a distance. They don't want to support or help the cause and/or dream, but they want to enjoy the fruits of someone else's hard working labor.
And the crazy thing is, is that those who do this, would be in denial. No one wants to believe that this type of person being described would be them. They would not claim this description, even though they may shake their head in agreement while reading this.
It literally is funny how that works. I have seen it. Watchers won't reveal themselves to you. They are too smooth for that. They ease drop and every 2 or 3 months they either call you or stop by to chat with you on FB or Twitter to see if you made it yet. But they don't just flat out ask you that question. Its indirect.
If it has happened to you, you understand where I'm coming from and understand what I'm talking about. I've peeped that sorry game, but one thing I can definitely say about those who watch from a distance, is you learn about what is to come, you learn about who people really are, you learn about who is really on your side and who wants to see you succeed, you learn about how they see you and some see you as a foot stool.
Its nothing to be mad about. You can't do anything about that, but you can be more aware of whats going on and pay attention to what people are saying and implying through casual conversation. You can be more observant to your surroundings and be street smart.
Watching from a distance is a safe zone for some people. They don't want to be embarrassed or ashamed that they were seen with you or at one point in time, they were supporting you. They are concerned about whose watching them. They are afraid to be affiliated with an idea if it goes south.
I speak this from experience. I'm not just making this stuff up. I don't write or speak just to hear myself talk. If I did, I wouldn't like myself, but since I do like myself, I speak and write with purpose and reason. Somebody out there may not be aware of those who just watch.
There are watchers at all kinds of different levels, but you always have the traditional watchers, in which I described above. Those watchers never change. Stay on the look out, especially when you are a person who dreams BIG and that dream starts out as a concept that you believe in!

SIR – We are extremely disappointed that our colleagues from the Royal College of Pathologists (Letters, July 1) are welcoming proposals to "name and shame" GPs on cancer referral rates.
To suggest that GPs are causing delays in diagnosis by not efficiently using the right blood tests is simplistic and does a great disservice to our profession. It is an insult to hard-working and hard-pressed GPs.
When GPs are under huge pressures, with patient demand far outstripping capacity, we believe that a collaborative approach is more likely to improve the care we can give to our patients.
A "name and shame" strategy is likely to decrease the threshold for referral and result in other parts of the NHS being swamped. This will ultimately lead to delays in patients receiving treatment and worse outcomes.
Timely diagnosis of cancer is a priority for the Royal College of General Practitioners and we are working hard to support GPs so that they can identify signs of cancer as early as possible and refer the patients they suspect of having cancer for the most appropriate tests.
The average full-time GP will see approximately eight new cases of cancer in their average 8,000 patient consultations per year, and 75 per cent of patients found to have cancer are referred after only one or two GP consultations.
There are 40 million more consultations in general practice today than there were even five years ago, and GPs are routinely working 11-hour days and seeing between 40 and 60 patients in a day.
The crisis in general practice is so severe that at least 27 million patients will have to wait more than a week to see a GP this year and 84 per cent of GPs are worried that their workloads are so high that they might miss something serious in a patient.
We are calling on all four governments in the United Kingdom to increase funding for general practice to 11 per cent from 8.3 per cent of the NHS budget, so that we can provide more GPs, more appointments and longer appointments.
General practice keeps the rest of the NHS strong and stable. We should be supporting our GPs, not criticising them.
Dr Maureen Baker
Chairman, Royal College of General Practitioners
London NW1
SIR – If there is a perception of delay in cancer diagnosis, real or otherwise, it is devastating for patients and their families but also soul-destroying for their GPs.
Sinister causes (including cancer) could explain just about any symptom in the average GP consultation. The risk of not finding that needle in the haystack is why GPs must pay thousands of pounds a year for liability insurance.
The NHS performs better than any health care system in the Western world - at a fraction of the cost of other countries - because British GPs hold the dual responsibility of caring for the patient in front of them and keeping the NHS alive within its monetary constraints by avoiding unnecessary referrals. GPs also seek to avoid delays which might adversely affect patients' health.
If a doctor is negligent (and this might be by causing a delay in diagnosis), there are due processes that determine whether any wrong has been done – via the General Medical Council or courts.
Naming and shaming GPs who miss cancer diagnoses is a bullying tactic which lacks evidence of effectiveness. GPs will pre-empt this by referring so many patients for tests that those who do have cancer will lose out and the NHS will be bankrupted.
This attack on British general practice is not based on fact. Only 10 per cent of cancer patients needed more than five appointments before being referred for a cancer diagnosis. No fewer than two thirds are diagnosed at the first GP consultation.
GPs are doing an excellent job and attacks on them should stop.

I'm joining a group on Instagram, a challenge called
The 100 Day Challenge.
Yes, 100 days, and my choice of subject is "Faces".
As I read about this project, what struck me was that
this is a good way to really improve in doing something,
and I would like to improve in my ability to draw faces.
I'm not quite sure how I'll go about this - some days a sketch,
some a painting or stitched piece - I'll have to see.
My head is full of ideas and my goal is to loosen up
and have fun.
Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

Ordinarily, the loss of one of 29 members would be insignificant. But Wright's departure affects actions involving CIRM's mammoth $758 million stem cell lab construction program.
It also illustrates what some may consider the board's bizarre voting structure and its built-in conflicts of interest.
The impact of Wright's departure could be felt as early as next week's meeting of the board, which is known as the Oversight Committee or ICOC. One of the matters on the agenda involves the lab grant program. Only board members whose institutions are not affected can vote on the matter. Those affected cannot even take part in the discussion.
Earlier this year we wrote about what amounts to a floating ICOC quorum with a "quartet majority," and how it can reduce many of the board members to silent sphinxes on some issues. To recap how it works, Prop. 71 uses the number of ICOC members eligible to vote as the basis for a quorum, rather than the total number of persons on the ICOC. Prop. 71 also states that a quorum is 65 percent of those eligible to vote. Action can be taken by a majority of a quorum. So when 10 persons are eligible to vote, the quorum is seven . A majority would be only four.
In January, only 10 members of the board, including Wright, were allowed legally to participate in the discussion of lab grant matters. She filled a patient advocate position on the board and rarely, if ever, was disqualified from participating or voting. Six of the 10 persons in the lab grant case are patient advocates. The others mostly represent industry, which sometimes has strong backing from patient advocates who want to see cures on the market quickly.
In theory, with absences, a quorum on lab grant issues could be as low as three, or so it appears. That would mean only two persons are needed to take action on some far-reaching and important issues. However, the possibility of that actually happening seems remote.
As for Wright's replacement, that is up to state Treasurer Bill Lockyer. According to state law, he must pick a patient advocate to fill the position. Lockyer's spokesman, Tom Dresslar, told the California Stem Cell Report,
"It's our intent to move with due diligence and as expeditiously as possible. Treasurer Lockyer's objective is to find a qualified person with impeccable credentials who demonstrates a strong commitment to helping ensure CIRM provides Californians what they voted for when they passed Prop. 71."If you are interesting in serving on the board or want to recommend someone, you can write the treasurer at this Internet location.
Wright's new job was first reported in the Chico Enterprise-Record Feb. 26, which said she has become vice president for science and quality with the American College of Cardiology. She had worked in Chico for 23 years.
(An earlier version of this item incorrectly stated that the Wright had left for her new job last month. That information, reported by the Chico Enterprise-Record, was incorrect. As of March 17, CIRM could not say when she would no longer be on the board. Wright did not respond to email queries.) Sphere: Related Content

Maria's Metro
Money to build pricey pedestrian bridge over Northside Drive should be spent at street-level
Memo to Atlanta's next mayor:
Please put a stop to the building of an unnecessary $24 million loopy-loop pedestrian bridge across Northside Drive.
Now let me explain my rationale.
The expensive pedestrian bridge would connect the Vine City MARTA Station with the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The total length of the bridge would be about two blocks to just get pedestrians to cross over a 70-foot crosswalk.

Shower curtains are probably the biggest products that one can install in the bathroom. Nowadays, there are several options that you can go through before purchasing the shower curtains based on their looks, appearances, and the fabric. The shower curtain took a giant step in these modern times from being simply dull to being beautiful and available in a variety of styles.
There are numerous varieties of shower curtains today from where you can find your best pick. You can get themed shower curtains as well; the sports enthusiasts can get the football or basketball themed curtains whereas; kid's bathroom can be decorated with Disney characters. Selecting the right kind of fabric is the most important thing to look for before purchasing the shower curtains.
- Need of vinyl liner on the fabric curtain
If your fabric is of those materials where it can be easily washed and dried in the sun, such as organic cotton, nylon, wash and wear fabric, etc.; you will not require a liner. The heavier fabrics that need proper dry cleaning, brocades, velvets along with embellishments or decorative attachments that are non-washable are supposed to be used with a vinyl liner.
- What fabric should you consider using?
The fabric shower curtains come in a wide range of materials such as nylon, polyesters, Oilcloth, organic cotton, and canvas curtains that are the best alternatives to vinyl. A lot of people consider velvet, brocades, and heavy embroidery ornate fabric on their bedrooms as well as bathrooms that need proper dry-cleaning and should not be hand washed.
It is best to go for nylon or cotton fabric shower curtains for a soothing and decent look. These curtains can be washed at home and well-maintained without taking them to the expensive dry cleaners.It is always recommended to purchase light shower curtains for regular use.
- How often will the curtains interface water?
If your shower is used for a long time on a regular basis, it will not have a lot of time to get dry thoroughly between two uses. Vinyl or vinyl liner can help you keep the curtains dry in these situations where the curtains are wet all the time due to regular water contact.
While soaps make a layer and not just moisture on the shower curtains, it is a major issue with all the bathroom curtains. It is important to find out how frequently the soap and water comes in contact with your shower curtains and is the fabric washable or needs dry cleaning to maintain the curtains for a long time.
- How often shower curtains need cleaning?
The fabric curtains need washing once in a week only if you have a high traffic in the bathroom on a regular basis, otherwise, it can be washed in every 2-3 weeks as the vinyl can come down or washed every month.
The heavier fabrics might require dry cleaning instead of washing them at home. The Shower curtains cannot just be wiped down but should be taken down from the rods and cleaned. It is better to remove the regular curtains from rods and clean them.

|Angel Stained Glass Window by Marion Grisa
Today I wanted to share my favorite Angel stained glass window. This blue angel window measures about 16 inches by 24 inches and was created in the early 1980's by my husband's mother, Marion Grisa.
|Glass Detail
This Christmas I hung the angel window in my living room window for the Christmas season. After the holidays are over, I think I will move the Angel window to somewhere more permanent, probably in the dining room. I'm pretty sure I've decided that this little angel should shine on for more then just the holidays.
(How is this a Metamorphis Monday post? This window was taken out of storage and hasn't hung in the house for years. I was worried the children might break it. I think that counts...)

It's every mother's nightmare: your teenage daughters become boy obsessed and thoughts of unplanned pregnancy shoot through your head. That's what Mama is going through on this latest episode of Here Come's Honey Boo Boo. Not that this is anything new for Mama. She is already a grandma thanks to 17-year-old Anna's first whoops. Now she is deathly afraid it's going to happen again now that both Anna and Chubbs have serious boyfriends. But Mama came up with an ingenious new birth control -- something that could work for every single family.
Her no-more-babies solution? Instead of letting the girls go out on dates like normal teens, they have to go out on family dates. So Anna and Chubbs' double date to the arcade turns into a regular ol' redneck family affair.
Her ominious warning to one of the boys, "You better keep your tic tac and skittles in your pants." He got the message loud and clear.
It works. It's quite possibly the best birth control ever invented. No guy can get in the mood with Mama, Sugar Bear, Honey Boo Boo, and Pumpkin all on boner patrol. They shouted and stepped in every time the boys moved in for a kiss. And it's not just on dates. Mama's watchful eye was in overdrive even when the boys visited the house.
As Chubbs' man tries to give her a gift, she is watching like a hawk from the doorway. "I can help the girls not make the mistakes I made," she said of having two kids by age 17. Then when she realizes both girls scored promise rings from their beaus, she has even more reason to worry: "I'm really concerned about my girls making commitments at such a young age."
But she softens a bit by the end, happy that they have a chance to experience teenage love -- as long as they don't come home with a baby bump, of course.
Would you ever go on a "family date" with your teen?

Mental Toughness – Part II
You might remember my original post.
Well check out this quote:
"What experts do know, however, is that there are strategies that athletes can nurture in training and then during competition to put them in that elusive state of "flow," where they surpass conscious thought and all of the elements of peak performance come together—concentration, physical expertise, focus, calm, discipline, unwavering confidence. They're in the coveted "zone." Self-consciousness has fallen away and they're transcending limitations."
"Sport psychology, to put it simply, focuses on the psychological factors associated with physical performance," says Bartholomew, an associate professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. "When it comes right down to it, you're just trying to help an athlete consistently execute those behaviors that he's practiced to virtual perfection so many times in training. During a match, Tiger Woods doesn't have to puzzle over how to make a particular swing and the mechanics of his arm movements—he's executed every single one of those physical moves before and could do all of them in his sleep. What he's got to be able to do is allow his body to deliver the desired results. Ironically, you want to keep the mind from getting in the way of the performance."
Mental training is just as important as strength training!

Green Monster Smoothies – These green monster smoothies are no stranger to food blogs lately. I see them popping up everywhere. I originally wasn't going to blog these mainly for that factor but we have them so often and on the off chance that you haven't seen them elsewhere, I thought I'd share them!
My very best friend and roommate toward the end of college, Heather, introduced me to making smoothies at home. This was definitely an 'aha moment' for a broke college girl!! All you need is fruit and juice and a smoothie you have. No more shelling out $5+ dollars at the college gym or the local smoothie place.
With Jack going through a picky phase (please, please let it be a phase), we've been trying anything and everything to work more vegetables into his diet. This smoothie is a great way for him to get vitamin rich spinach that he normally wouldn't otherwise touch. I know the green can be off putting but you truly cannot taste the spinach. Promise!!
Smoothie options are endless, especially with the variety of frozen fruit that you can find at the grocery store. I always keep a bag of mixed frozen fruit in the freezer just for smoothies. To keep this one green though, stick with yellow or orange fruit. Red fruit with taste just fine but it won't be pretty green anymore. 🙂
Green Monster Smoothies
Makes about 16 fluid ounces, serves about 2
- 6 oz. pineapple juice
- Handful of fresh baby spinach
- Handful of frozen diced pineapple
- Handful of frozen sliced peaches
- ⅓-½ banana, fresh or previously frozen
- Splash orange juice (or more as needed)
1. In a blender, combine pineapple juice and spinach and blend until well combined and not large pieces of spinach remain.
2. Add in frozen fruit and blend. Add orange juice as needed. Blend until desired consistency is reached.

Private Equity Enters The Wireless Space In A Big Way
from the money-money-money dept
A group of private equity firms are buying Alltel for $27.5 billion, capping off months-long speculation about the future of the company. While the scale of the deal is pretty huge, it's not all that surprising: there's been a lot of momentum lately in private-equity buyouts, as robust debt markets are making it easy for buyout firms to get financing. Also, Alltel -- which has quietly become the country's fifth-largest mobile operator by rolling up smaller regional firms -- still doesn't have a nationwide footprint, but in some sense, that's part of the reason the company was an attractive buyout target, since it means the company has plenty of room to grow. This buyout could represent something of a tipping point in the industry as fresh blood, unencumbered by legacy telco thinking, comes into the market looking for aggressive growth and kicks off a round of strong competition. Alltel already has something of a track record for this, as its My Circle plan, which lets users pick a handful of numbers (either wireless or landline, and on any carrier) and call them for free, forced other operators to respond with similar offerings. The deal could also see Alltel become a significant player in the upcoming FCC auction for 700 MHz spectrum, which was already expected to be highly contested, should its new buyers want to secure the spectrum necessary to build out a nationwide mobile broadband network.

Deemed loan relationships: money debts: extended definition includes foreign exchange differences
Exchange gains and losses: amounts treated as money debts
Exchange gains and losses on money debts are brought into account under CTA09/PT5/CH2.
CTA09/S483 further provides that the following are treated as money debts under the loan relationships rules:
- any currency held by the company;
- provisions for future liabilities as long as they relate to a trade, or a UK or overseas property business and would otherwise be allowable under those rules;
- provisions for unearned premiums and unexpired risk reserves of insurance companies.
Example: exchange difference on trade debts
On 1 January Basker Ltd sells goods to an Italian firm for €15,000. At the time the goods are delivered €15,000 is worth £10,000. The customer pays the bill on 31 March when €15,000 is worth £10,750. The exchange gain of £750 is taxable as a loan relationship credit.
Example: exchange differences on provisions
Opit Ltd has an accounting period ending on 31 December each year. At 31 December the company identifies contingent liabilities based on guarantees provided to US customers. It includes in its accounts a US $ provision against possible future guarantee payments. The provision is translated into sterling for the accounts.
At each accounting date the provision is revalued in US $. It is then translated onto the balance sheet in sterling. There is no lending of money, and no money debt. Without CTA09/S483 the company could not include the exchange gain or loss that arises in the tax computation.

Instead she's strong confident and oozing with sex appeal - even, it seems, while sporting sherbert shades.
The theme? Under the sea, interpreted, naturally in the modern, ultra-glamorous house style. The show kickstarted with a clutch of white pieces sporting serious gold hardware - a pencil skirt and bandeau top covered with gold studs, stiff little shorts and cropped leather jackets and form fitting dresses with plisse pleated chiffon panels and studded, strappy backs.
The shapes recurred throughout the show, in turn covered with an aquatic print featuring seahorses, shells and starfish or made up in good-enough-to-eat shades of mint green, parma violet and powder blue. For evening - or for the more colour-phobic - there super sexy studded black pieces to choose from. And there were floor grazing gowns scattered with crystals, or held together with huge crystal starfish clasps.
It was fun and fabulous and proof, if proof was needed, that pastels needn't be prim.

Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a commonly used sample clean up procedure for blood or urine sample screening associated with drug analysis.
SPE generates cleaner extracts to improve detection limits and sensitivity in subsequent chromatographic analysis.
The GX-274 ASPEC is a four-probe instrument capable of unattended, parallel solid phase extraction processing of samples to increase both throughput and the efficiency of SPE cartridge-based applications.
Based on positive pressure elution, this instrument processes up to four samples in a single step with an innovative and proven sealing cap technology, where each cartridge is sealed, run, and monitored individually.
The two 406 dual syringe pumps allow the user to transfer liquids, process up to four samples in parallel, and to monitor pressure on each fluid path individually.
Fundamental to Gilson's automated SPE system is its mobile rack and positive pressure technology. The mobile rack technology allows you to automate your entire SPE and liquid handling processes from the initial condition to the final transfer.
Gilson's SPE instrumentation utilises positive pressure to ensure more reproducible flow rates, more reproducible recoveries, less sample to sample contamination, and higher precision.
All of Gilson's SPE instruments are controlled via Trilution LH software. The graphical interfaces decrease the learning curve while increasing your efficiency.
Trilution LH provides an intuitive interface for creating SPE and liquid handling protocols / applications to condition cartridges, load the sample, wash the cartridge, elute the analyte of interest and transfer the eluent to a final sample vessel.
The GX-274 ASPEC and other Gilson products are available from John Morris Scientific.

Brief weekend recap
But the thing is, my weekend was wonderful. I feel like Clay and I have overcomitted ourselves a lot lately and it was really, really nice to have a weekend with zero plans or obligations. (Plus, after the events that took place on Thursday afternoon, I felt like I wanted to keep to myself.) The only time we ventured out of the house (running aside) was to grocery shop and meet my mom for lunch.
My mom was in town on business and suggested we meat up for a late lunch, our choice of where we go. Several weeks ago, she raved about a burger joint in a neighboring city that had, by her definition, one of the best hamburgers she'd ever eaten. So Clay and I decided to show her the best burgers our city had to offer and took her to Bub's Burgers.
Bub's Indianapolis location was featured on an episode of the Food Network's Man Vs. Food, just sayin'.
My mom insisted she could put down at least one Big Ugly burger stating, "Well, you've seen me at a buffet."
Clay and I talked her out of it, citing the price of the burger and the risk of projectile vomiting as sufficient reasons to stick to a smaller sandwich.
I demolished my burger and drank an insane amount of Diet Coke (apparently Hungry for Change didn't scare me quite enough to kick the habit for good) because I ran 9 miles less than an hour prior to meeting my mom.
I don't know if I chose too hilly of a route or if I was still too sleepy to fully function, but Saturday morning's run HURT and I spent the better part of the afternoon limping and rubbing my sore butt muscles (in a sadly non-sexual way).
Most of my miles hovered in the 8:30 minute/mile pace, but I felt pretty depleted by mile 7. Not to mention, two different people stopped me and asked for directions which I found annoying because 1.) There were tons of other people walking that they could have asked and 2.) I absolutely hate having to pause my Garmin mid-run. I don't like taking breaks. It throws off my groove.
But I never want to come across as rude, so I stopped and did my best to help. I just hope they didn't mind my labored breathing and the frozen snot icicles hanging out of my nose.
I don't have any wild expectations for PRing in the upcoming Hoosier Half Marathon, but I really, really want to get through it without walking/puking/crapping my pants. I've never done a hilly race that was longer than 5 miles, so I have some pretty legitimate concerns. I don't care what time I get, I just want to finish strong.
Part of the reason why Clayton's and my weekend was so low-key is that he had a huge exam to study for on Sunday and he spent most of his free time with his newly cleared-out nose shoved in a book. All of the hard work paid off in the end because my baby scored a 98% on the test!
He's so smart. He gets that from me.
I had every intention of baking a cookies n' cream cake and even purchased all of the ingredients during our grocery store trip, but when it came right down to it, laying on the couch and watching South Park reruns sounded like a better idea.
I'll have to do that tonight ... if I'm not too tired. I'm normally pretty beat on Monday nights because my body appears to go through shock every time it has to go back to work after the weekend.
And then I get to turnaround and make ANOTHER cake this week for Valentine's Day (I'm trying my hand at homemade mocha icing!)
I wish I could say that having cake twice in one week is a rare occurrence in our house, but hey, there's no point in lying to you guys.
I watched the majority of the Grammy's last night, too. My sweet Kelly Clarkson won an award for Best Pop Vocal Album, but I think Rihanna won the entire night because that girl has amazing abs.

Classic live Satch
Timephoenix | Christchurch, New Zealand | 12/22/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
Joe Satriani is not just a guitar legend, but also a very good all-round musician. Although players like Yngwie Melmstein might be slightly better technically, their compositional and group-performance skills are sometimes awful.
Satch's versatility is what makes him special, and this EP is a good example. The first track, The Crush of Love, is the only studio track on the album, and is a very catchy, pop-rock guitar piece which has some great melodies, but does not showcase Joe's technical skill as much as the other tracks, apart from excellent Wah-pedalling. Don't get me wrong, it is a flawless performance, but Satch is capable of so much more. This is more an example of Satriani's compositional skills and ever-so-lyrical guitar lines.
The rest of the album is recorded live at a concert held in San Diego in 1988. Track two is a performance of Ice Nine, with some new, cool bluesy solos which are full of fast fingerwork, pinch harmonics and wah-pedal.
Memories, the third track, is my favorite track of the album. It is around twice the length of the original, and has some very technically difficult guitar phrases. Jonathan Mover and Stu Hamm are superb on drums and bass on this track, adding another dimension to this song. Joe's solos are diverse, sometimes lyrical and othertimes utilizing dischord in traditional Satch fashion. He uses a many different techniques to achieve this. It enters many different moods to the listener as it progresses through the piece's several movements, and it has quite a different feel to the original recording (perhaps in a more rock style).
The final track on the album is also strong. It makes use of the harmonic minor scale and has quite an "Eastern" feel. It is marginally heavier than the other tracks, and the guitar lines sound almost neoclassically influenced at times, with some touches of prog. Satch again impresses with some difficult phrases, some possibly harder than in Memories (I am not a guitarist, so excuse me if I am wrong). Mover and Hamm again impress, and it is a very solid group performance.
This is a very good album, although is not the best live album from Joe Satriani; for mine his Live in San Francisco and G3 performances are longer and more diverse. However, if you are a fan of Joe it is an essential album. If you are new Satriani, The Electric Joe Satriani - An Anthology gives a good overview, while I would also reccommend Surfing With the Alien, Crystal Planet and The Extremist."
(4 out of 5 stars)
"If you like Joe's hit single "The Crush Of Love" I suggest you get this EP. This version is a studio version of the song as opposed to the LIVE version on the TIME MACHINE double CD. The studio version is superior to the live version because it has a fast pace from beginning to end. The LIVE version on TIME MACHINE slows down for the last two minutes of the song. The other 3 songs were recorded LIVE at the California Theater, San Diego, CA on June 11, 1988.
"Ice Nine" is fairly fast paced,"Memories" starts slow and ends slow, the middle part of the song is medium to fast paced. "Hordes Of Locust" is medium paced. So to summarize, two fast paced songs - "The Crush Of Love and "Ice Nine", one medium paced song - "Hordes Of Locust" and one slow/medium paced song - "Memories"."
Overlooked but critical.
Michael Stack | North Chelmsford, MA USA | 10/28/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
""Dreaming #11" tends to be unfairly overlooked in Joe Satriani's catalog-- largely because it's an EP and it's not as widely available as many other recordings by Satch, but it really is deserving of wider attention. Essentially a single for "The Crush of Love" backed by three live tracks, the EP finds Satriani and company in fine form.
The only studio track, "The Crush of Love" is a moody ballad, with fine, round, and warm playing from Satriani, and is generally regarded as one of his best ballads and a fan favorite. The live tracks-- a pair from "Not of This Earth" and one from "Surfing With the Alien"-- are a treat. Satriani and company were really on fire the night this was recorded, and the performances are big, bold and exciting (note that more material from this show is available on "Time Machine").
Long story short-- this is critical for any Satriani fan. Recommended."

How to help teens deal with dangerous peer pressure on social media
The need for acceptance and 15 minutes of internet fame has caused reckless behavior among teens. Elizabeth Scrivner is a professional counselor who works with teens dealing with intense peer pressure and she is offering her advice for parents on how to protect their children.
EXPLORE MORE: 'Storm Warriors' share what to do if you get caught in severe weather
There "is a huge pressure that we have going on for all of us and teens being younger and not having as much experience, want to be extremely involved in it. They think they might become famous," says Scrivner of the pressure on teens from social media. She urges parents to get involved with your teens, know who they are with and where they are. You have to be present in their lives.
If your teen is participating in viral challenges such as the cinnamon challenge or the fire spray challenge Scrivner says that parents need to get on YouTube, have a Twitter account, and be on Facebook. Even if it's not your thing if you don't like social media, you have to be engaged with your children.
For teens that are experiencing peer pressure from their friends to do these viral challenges Scrivner urges them to realize that whatever goes online is forever. She tells parents, "the concept has to be continually talked about with teens. This is staying around with you. And so do you want this to represent you?"

The Beauty Of White...Soft, White Cheeses
I'm sure there are entire blogs dedicated to everything cheese. However, I'm concentrating here on soft, white cheeses. Creamy or crumbly, simple or complex, mild or tart, sweet or savory…soft white cheeses are a joy to behold and to consume. These are some of my favorites~
Brie is the best known French cheese and has the nickname "The Queen of Cheeses". Several hundred years ago, Brie was one of the tributes which had to be paid to the French kings. In France, Brie is very different from the cheese exported to the United States. "Real" French Brie is unstabilized and the flavor is complex when the surface turns slightly brown. When it is still pure-white, it's not matured. If it's cut before the maturing process is finished, it will never develop properly. Exported Brie, however, is stabilized and never matures. Stabilized Brie has a much longer shelf life and is not susceptible to bacteriological infections.
Classic Brie is made in a wide, flat round wheel with a center that softens to almost a runny, custard-like consistency when very ripe. It has an aroma reminiscent of fresh mushrooms, a rich buttery body and intense, savory taste. In order to enjoy the taste fully, Brie must be served at room temperature.
Camembert was traditionally made in a small round, and because of this, matures differently than Brie. Made from pasteurized cow's milk. At the beginning of its ripening, Camembert is crumbly and soft and gets creamier over time. The centre remains a little firmer, bulging when very ripe, and the flavor is sweeter with nutty characteristics.
Camembert is one of the most famous cheeses in France, although it dates back only to the 18th century. It's named after a Norman village where there is a statue of its creator (Marie Harel). In 1855 the cheese was presented to Napoleon, introduced as from the village of Camembert. He enjoyed it very much and from that moment Camembert became known everywhere by this name.
Feta is a classic and famous Greek curd cheese whose tradition dates back thousands of years and is still made by shepherds in the Greek mountains with unpasteurized milk. Feta is a soft, wet cheese with a rough surface and a bright white color. It is often stored in brine, contributing to its moistness and imparting a salty flavor to the cheese. Feta is made by curdling milk by adding either rennet or microbial rennet, and allowing the mixture to separate and drain. The curds are then cut, salted and pressed and the larger mass is placed in a brine solution to cure.
Feta is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads (e.g. the Greek salad), pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita (cheese pie) and combined with olive oil and vegetables.
Chevre is a generic term which denotes a cheese made from the milk of goats, with the word chevre meaning goat in French. Most cheeses incorporating goat's milk use chevre in their labeling so that consumers seeking goat cheeses will be able to readily identify them. Chevre can come in a wide range of forms, from soft farmer's cheeses to fully cured firm varieties. Chevre also runs the flavor gamut, with some retaining a characteristic goaty flavor while other chevres are much more mild and buttery.
One of the most common forms of chevre is a fresh cheese which resembles cream cheese. This type of chevre tends to be slightly crumbly, creamy, and may have a strong goat flavor. Often soft chevre is herbed or spiced, and may be decorated with flowers or rosemary by more high-end dairies. Creamy chevre is delicious in salads, bread, and pizzas. While most of the creamy chevres available in the United States are made from pasteurized milk because the cheese is young, unpasteurized creamy chevres tend to have more complex flavors and an almost buttery feel.
Ricotta is a white, moist cheese that is usually made from the whey drained off during the making of mozzarella or provolone cheeses and is, technically speaking, a cheese by-product. Italian ricotta is typically made from the whey of sheep, cow, goat, or water buffalo milk, while the American product is almost always made of cow's milk whey. While both types are low in fat and sodium, the Italian version is naturally sweet, while the American is blander, slightly salty, and moister.
The word "ricotta" is derived from the Latin "recocta," which means "cooked twice." Good ricotta cheese is firm, but not solid and is commonly used in savory Italian dishes, including pasta, calzone, pizza, manicotti, lasagna, and ravioli. Ricotta can also be beaten smooth and mixed with condiments, such as sugar, cinnamon, orange flower water and occasionally chocolate shavings, and served as a dessert, such as Sicilian cannoli.
Mascarpone is a triple-creme cheese, made from a generally low-fat (25%) content fresh cream. It's made from the milk of cows that have been fed special grasses filled with fresh herbs and flowers – a special diet that creates a unique taste often described as "fresh and delicious."
Mascarpone is milky-white in color and is easily spread. It's used in various dishes of the Lombardy region of Italy, where it is a specialty. It is a main ingredient of modern tiramisu, and is sometimes used instead of butter or Parmesan cheese to thicken and enrich risotto.
Mascarpone originated in the area between Lodi and Abbiategrasso, Italy, southwest of Milan, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century. The name is said to come from mascarpa, a milk product made from the whey of stracchino (shortly-aged cheese), or from mascarpia, the word in the local dialect for ricotta (although mascarpone is not made from whey, as ricotta is).
I'll leave you with this quote from Clifton Fadiman (American writer and editor; New Yorker book reviewer, 1904-1999)
"A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be over sophisticated. Yet it remains, cheese, milk's leap toward immortality."
