Fave dei morti + Tasting Rome Giveaway
April 04th, 2016 | Category: Cookbook, Cookies
Julia Child once said: "People who love to eat are always the best people." I'd like to add to that that they also make the best food writers.
I know very few people who loves to eat more than my dear friend Katie Parla, whose latest book, Tasting Rome, hit the shelves last week.
Today, I'm giving away one copy of Tasting Rome and three exclusive gifts to a lucky winner: nine 8″ x 10″ photo prints by the talented co-author and photographer of the book, Kristina Gill (whom we all know from her In the Kitchen With column at Design*Sponge), an 18″ x 24″ illustrated map by artist Lena Corwin, and a recipe booklet with 6 brand-new recipes.
According to my mom, I've been to Rome twice, the first time when I was three and the second time when I was six. I don't remember a thing, but she has photos to prove it. I've been longing for a visit that I'd be able to remember in the future, but I've been living between deadlines for the longest time. Right now, the best I can do is read about what Rome has to offer and cook from Katie's book.
The day the book arrived, I was fortunate to find a big chunk of Pecorino Romano left in the fridge from recipe testing, so I made half a batch of Leonardo Vignoli's Caccio e Pepe for dinner. I can not get enough of that emulsified cheese sauce, so I was really happy to read that the recipe in the book is a saucy version. The recipe has only three ingredients, so the key is really getting the proportions right. I've made caccio e pepe several times in the past and this was by far the best version.
And then, the next day, I was stopped dead in my tracks when I watched Joe Tarasco, chef of Marta in Manhattan, making supplì cacio e pepe. Last month's issue of Conde Nast Traveler featured Rome, and as part of the coverage, the magazine asked Katie to track down Rome-style pizza places in NYC. The first in the series was Marta in Manhattan. Take a look at how supplì caccio e pepe is done and pay special attention at 2:08 when Katie shows the creamy center.
I'm working day and night against a very tight deadline, and as soon as it's over, I'm making it.
I had every intention of making Vignarola next, a stew of artichokes, peas, fava and lettuce, which screams spring on a plate, but peas have yet to grace the stalls at the farmers' market.
Paging through the book, the photo of the stacked slices of pizza bianca filled with mortadella captured my interest instantly, but I have my eye on pizza rossa, which is made from the same dough. I'll be waiting for the summer's finest tomatoes to tackle that one.
Take a look at how my pal Katie and Jim Lahey does it at Sullivan Street Bakery:
In the end, I decided to try fave dei morti, 'fava beans of the dead' or day of the dead cookies, which Roman bakeries sell on All Souls' Day, called the Commemorazione dei Defunti or Giorno dei Morti, to commemorate the dearly departed.
The dough came together so quickly and easily and I had just enough ground almonds left for another batch, so I decided to try swapping 1/4 cup of the flour with cocoa powder and the ground cinnamon with espresso powder.
After you roll the dough into logs and cut them into pieces, you make an indentation in the center of each piece with your thumb, which resembles the shape of a fava bean.
Both turned out amazing, but the original version is hard to beat.
Katie's publisher has put together a list of amazing gifts for the launch of the book. People who pre-ordered the book during the first phase of the launch are going to receive 3 photo prints by Kristina. The campaign is now in its second phase; if you order Tasting Rome until April 12th, you'll receive an 18″ x 24″ exclusive illustrated map by artist Lena Corwin as a free gift (details here). In the third phase, those who order the book between April 13th through April 21st will be eligible to receive the recipe booklet with 6 brand-new recipes (open to US residents only).
How about a free copy of the book and all 3 exclusive gifts? All you have to do is to leave a comment below and let me know what your favorite gelato flavor is! Did you know that there are around 2,500 gelaterie in Rome?
By the way, Katie is on a book tour right now; be sure to check out her events page for details.
Win a copy of Tasting Rome + 9 photo prints + illustrated map + recipe booklet!
One lucky reader will receive a copy of Tasting Rome, all nine of the 8″ x 10″ photo prints by Kristina (above), an 18″ x 24″ illustrated map by artist Lena Corwin (below), and a recipe booklet with 6 brand-new recipes.
To enter, simply leave a comment below and let me know what your favorite gelato flavor is.

fave dei morti
makes 36 fave dei morti
Recipe from Tasting Rome. Reprinted by permission of Clarkson Potter.
1 heaping cup (115 grams) blanched almond flour
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (110 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
(Notes: The amounts in grams are added by me. The weight of the blanched almond flour is an estimate. Tasting Rome conversion chart states: 1 cup all-purpose flour = 125 grams.)
Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients together by hand to form a firm dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a couple of time, then halve. Roll each half into a small log about 3/4 inch (2 cm) in diameter. Slice the log into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces and, with your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each. The indentation will resemble the shape of a fava bean.
Place these fave on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until dry and just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, about 30 minutes. They will be soft when they come out of the oven but will harden as they cool.
Variation: To make the cocoa and espresso fave dei morti, use 2/3 cup (83 grams) of all-purpose flour plus 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of espresso powder instead of the ground cinnamon.

By Fred Durso, Jr.
For NFPA Journal
SOCIETY'S INSATIABLE HUNGER for immediate information, especially during emergencies, can sometimes make the TV and radio seem like artifacts of a bygone era. Even the Web is regarded by some as insufficiently responsive. These days, more and more people — especially if they're young and tech-savvy — rely on social media during a crisis, for better or worse. They use Twitter to tweet rushed dispatches to their friends and log on to Facebook for resources and updates. Some of the information they share is spot-on accurate. Some is complete fiction. Much of it resides somewhere in between.
The reach and impact of these tools — along with YouTube, blogs, and other channels — was apparent in New York City during Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Following the battering it received at the hands of Hurricane Irene in 2011, the city decided to bolster its social media channels to improve information sharing before and during emergencies. The effort attracted five million followers even before Sandy's arrival. The city also established a task force of "social media rock stars" from various city agencies to develop emergency protocol procedures for various social media channels.
As Sandy rolled in, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office closely monitored social media chatter. Daily reports summarizing this information made their way across departments and agencies. Some of the information was very good; Facebook and YouTube highlighted crucial points from official news conferences, and Twitter provided near-immediate responses to questions from residents unable to access the city's information hotline. The city's efforts led to an astronomical response: New York's total digital reach following the storm was more than 2.7 million people, the press conference videos were watched nearly a million times, NYC.gov had 16 million page views, and the city's Facebook page had a reach of more than 320,000 people, according to "Lessons Learned: Social Media and Hurricane Sandy," a report produced in 2013 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Ken came out of the house to welcome us as soon as he heard the car pulling up the road. He was followed by a frolicking Callie – the collie. I apologized for being late and explained that we had had a very busy day, visiting Loches, Nouans-les-Fontaines and the nearby goat's farm.
Walt was waiting for us on the deck, with a bottle of sparkling rosé. Ken brought out an excellent savoury cake which he had made himself. It was nice sitting out there with them, sipping the chilled rosé, nibbling the cake and catching up on the latest news. They also invited us up to the attic to 'inspect' the progress on the building work that was being done.
At half past six Ken, B., J.L. and I set out to visit the winery of Jean-Noël Guérrier a bit further down the road. We really had a great time tasting six different wines in Jean-Noël's cavern-like wine cellar. Jean-Noël and his wife Chantal are lovely people and they immediately make you feel welcome. And they are very generous too when it comes to filling up your tasting glass … Compared to the large wineries, where you hardly get enough wine to wet your lips, Jean-No (that's how this congenial 'vigneron' refers to himself) fills up your glass to the rim!

It's not often that a local face gets to meet Donald Trump.
However, it probably helps when you're the front man of Sugar Ray.
Mark McGrath, a Corona del Mar High School alumnus, is one of 12 remaining contestants on NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Fighting for his charity of choice, Vh1's Save The Music foundation, McGrath hopes to help arts programs nationwide.
"I've seen it firsthand how it has reinvigorated music programs in schools," he said. "Now that I have twins, anything that has to do with kids is a big motivator."
The nonprofit donates musical instruments to public schools. So far, it has donated $47 million and affected more than 1.6 million children.
He wasn't just excited about raising money. It was also about the challenge, he said.
"They take away assistants and cell phones and it's like starting over again. We're like babies again," McGrath, 43, said with a laugh.

Mayor Walsh is really a very talented person, and his welcome and protection towards the undocumented residents of Boston shows he has moral fiber ["The Making of Mayor Marty Walsh," July 23]. His open arms to the Olympics (including attempts to suppress dissent by opponents), and his abrupt closing of Long Island made me think very poorly of him early on. Leaving homeless people literally out in the cold . . . was deeply shocking. But maybe he has found his stride now. And there are very important talents that have nothing to do with academic achievement.
Massachusetts citizen / posted on bostonglobe.com
It is refreshing to have a genuine person in the office of mayor.

I'm not a Boston resident. If I were, I'd have voted for the "other guy.'' But, sometimes people surprise. Certainly, Walsh has. He's a good man, and a bigger man than I thought.

August 19 – September 23
Summer is a time for color and whimsy. It is a time for outdoor entertainment, carnivals, circuses and fireworks. It is a time for sightseeing and photography. It is a time for lying out at night, looking at the stars and naming all the constellations you can find. Summertime is what Three Frenchmen and A Spaniard is all about.
Three Frenchmen and A Spaniard will be open with a reception on Saturday, August 19 from 5 to 7pm and will run until September 30.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to purchase individual lithographs from Fernard Leger's "Cirque", published in 1950 and Joan Miro's "Constellations", published by Pierre Matisse in 1959. Colors and forms swirl in Miro's imagined skies, while cheers from the crowd can almost be heard through the images of Leger's performers.
While there was a time when Roland Roure was a maker of fireworks, all the explosions from this Frenchman are now confined to metal. His joyful figures, painted in clear primary colors, all share the ability to move and throw off amazing shadows.
The talents of Andre Villers are wide ranging, but all relate to the camera. Whether dealing in 'straight' photography, as in his intimate portraits of Picasso, or borrowing 'famous' painted images and collaging them onto his own photographed backgrounds or presenting his alter ego, a cartoon type cut out figure in any number of contortions, Villers' images are wry and captivating.

I have commitment issues. I'm ready to commit myself to anything, but I never really do... I just won't stick to it.
I don't know what it is... I suppose I'm afraid to death of success, so I sabotage it for myself.
I am really into "it" for the first days, but it's usually three months that is my limit. Often it's just three days.
It's not that I am not serious, it's that I get cold feet and run back into the comfortable apathy.
You see... I'm an overachiever, workaholic, perfectionist. I ALWAYS give either 110% or nothing. If one constantly keeps giving more than one has or can, one dries up very, very quickly. One gets burned out. I have the wax, but not the wick, so there's no flame either.
I have been in that situation too many times, always getting into something, giving everything, and then... people start expecting you can keep up with that standard. Sure, they say that the more you achieve, the easier it is for you to achieve more, but it really doesn't work that way... and then I have difficulties in saying "no", demanding my boundaries are respected and asking for help, like all codependent adult children. :-> I find it also hard to reward myself, or accept rewards.
It is really hard to fill up again, or to keep the in-flow as rapid as the out-flow. Eventually the pool gets filled up again, the candle gets a new wick, but I'm so afraid it will happen again, so I sabotage myself to protect myself from the future catastrophe, which I am inable to protect myself from in the "normal" ways. (respecting boundaries, demanding my boundaries are respected, also by me; delegating, asking and accepting help, taking time to rest and recreation, and letting go of perfectionism and the high expectations I have on myself.)
I'm so terrified of it that I won't even dare to write 50.000 words... I don't even dare to finish a first draft of a novel... even when that doesn't require anything else. The expectations are there, my expectations... if I write the first draft, I MUST edit it and rewrite it and make it good, send it to a publisher, get it published, start traveling around the world and market the book and have book signings and all kinds of things... and then everyone will expect I repeat it, over and over again, and write many books, and...
My therapist tried to make me take tiny steps.
I just need to write 1665 words on November 1st.
That's it.
Nothing else. Nothing more. There is nothing before, nothing after, no editing, no publishing, no life as a writer.
Just 1665 words.
I can do that.
To something else...
"Research shows that males tend to be more internally oriented than females. Men tend to believe their success strategies are based on themselves. Older people tend to have an internal locus of control as well – and so do people in more advanced professional situations, such as managers or corporate heads. It makes sense: they've realized that the success strategies they've used to achieve their goals are based on their own efforts."

The sky was blue with no clouds in sight and a great day for kayaking. A man named Yummyhachi pushed his kayaking into the glassy sea water. He felt good so he went further from the shore until the people on the beach looked like ants. The bad thing was that he was out of sight of people.
All of a sudden he saw in the corner of his eyes a big black shadow go underneath him. Yummyhachi thought to himself he was a goner so he tried to paddle as fast as he could but the shadow caught up. He got worried and called for help the beast attempted to knock him out of the kayak. His heart started to race his hands started to shake and he felt a cold shiver up his spine.
Then he started to pray that this was going to lose his interest and leave him alone. The beast swam at him again and showed it self it was a dolphin he was relieved and jumped into the water to play with the dolphin and the dolphin was pretty good. He taught it a few tricks and started to call it tom after his playful pet he use to have.
it got dark and he realized it was time to go and he forgot about his kayak it had floated out to sea well he was playing with his new friend. He got the dolphins attention and pointed to the kayak. The dolphin made this a weird nose and the boat got pushed to him. He noticed that the as the boat got closer that it was getting pushed to him by more dolphins.

Christmas in July: Sturges' Forgotten Gem
6 comments:
Rupert, I absolutely agree with your assessment of "Christmas in July" as "a forgotten gem." I saw this for the first time a couple of years ago, and I immediately asked myself why it isn't better known. It is possibly the most Capra-like of Sturges' films, but more satirical and as you say not sappy or saccharine, as it might have been if Capra had made it. I watched "Sullivan's Travels" the other night, and at one point somebody criticizes Capra to Joel McCrea (who plays a movie director). "What's wrong with Capra?" he asks. The difference between Capra and Sturges is that Capra too often drowned out the comedy with his sledgehammer messages, whereas Sturges always kept the comedy and the comic predicament of his characters up front, and you can sure see that in this movie. I hope your apt summing up of "Christmas in July" will inspire people who haven't seen it to seek it out. It's a comfort to know that even if you think you've seen all the major movies of a major director like Sturges, there still might be a little-known gem like this lurking somewhere.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2009 at 6:23 PM
Great choice for a review. Even though Sturges would go on to write & direct other more complex classics, this one holds up very well. I like the Capra/Sturges comparisons too. Both men tell tales of the "common man" with Capra taking a more overt reverential tone. Sturges make take a satirical route & portray his characters as buffoons but in the end they are held in high regard --just like Capra.ReplyDelete
This is a movie that I always wanted to see totally all the way through. I have always seen bits and pieces of it and not all of it, probably a half hour or so in all. Not through fault of my own. I always wanted to see it and now with your review I want to see it even more. Sturges the Lady Eve is one of my favorite movies and there are a few others of his movies I like Sullivan's Travels, Palm Beach Story, etc. I think this is one of the next movies on my list, thanks for the great review.ReplyDelete
I completely agree with this assessment, Rupert! Definitely a film to warm the heart, but with the ingenuity of Sturges to keep it from being stodgy.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a wonderful little gem that passed under my radar. I can't believe I did not know about it. I'll definitely be looking for it on TCM. Thanks, Rupert.ReplyDelete
Sturges only made great films and greater films and this is one of the great ones!!! And how much did Dick Powell change after the war when you see him in this film and then later in films like To the Ends of the Earth.... excellent review Rupe!!!ReplyDelete

This principle is emphasized three times in Matthew 6.
We can give to the needy and let people know about it so we make ourselves look good. If we do, God says that our reward is limited to whatever praise men give us here. He has no reward for us (6:2).
We can pray fancy prayers to impress people, hoping to appear more spiritual than we are. If we do, our reward will be limited to whatever praise men give us. God has no reward for us (6:5).
We can try to draw attention to our spiritual disciplines (like fasting) so others will think we are more godly than we are. If we do, our reward is limited to whatever praise men give us. God has no reward for us (6:16).
We can choose the source of our rewards (God or man) and the longevity (temporary or eternal). Let's choose wisely.

1. What does this tell me about Christian values?
2. How does this passage specifically apply to my life now?
Matthew 16:25-26: For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
Luke 8:14: The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.
Colossians 3:1-2: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Luke 12:32-34: "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luke 12:15: Then he said, "Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own."
Matthew 6:19-20: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matthew 6:1: "Watch out! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
1 John 2:15-17: Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Chiropractor's Needs
The Home Birth Safety Act and the Chiropractor's Needs
Chiropractors in South Dakota know many patients who are interested in complementary and alternative health care, including alternatives in birth services However when a patient requests referral for home birth services, chiropractors have limited options. Allowing a patient to be left with no care, or falling into the hands of an unqualified provider, presents serious liability and ethical dilemmas.
The Home Birth Safety Act (HBSA) has been developed to meet the needs of chiropractors and other healthcare providers who value respect for a patient's autonomy while at the same time supporting safe decisions.
HBSA licenses only midwives who have obtained NCCA accredited midwife credentials. Lay midwives and informally apprenticed midwives need not apply.
HBSA protects patients from falling into the care of unqualified underground midwives by maintaining a listing of licensed, qualified midwives, held accountable for the services they provide.
HBSA requires midwives to practice according to evidence based guidelines and nationally recognized and legally-defensible practice standards.
HBSA provides a means for chiropractic and other physicians to make a legally defensible referral for care when a patient requests home birth.
Chiropractors also recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and believe the intensive education and one-on-one care provided by qualified midwives will help provide optimal outcomes for mother and baby.
Support the Home Birth Safety Act Integrate CPMs into our healthcare system.

Police cannot rely solely on license-plate readers to pull over drivers suspected of breaking the law, a federal appeals court has ruled (pdf).
The decision arose from a case involving a female motorist in San Francisco who was wrongly detained after a police automatic license plate reader (ALPR) identified her car as stolen.
The ALPR, mounted in a squad car, misread one digit on Denise Green's license plate, which triggered an alert that the vehicle was stolen. Per San Francisco Police Department policy, the officer in the ALPR-mounted car was supposed to verify he had the correct automobile, but didn't. Then, a second officer responsible for pulling Green over also failed to notice the mistake, even though the wanted vehicle looked nothing like Green's.
Nevertheless, back-up was called in and four officers drew their weapons on Green, who was forced from her car, handcuffed and ordered to kneel on the pavement.
She was later released once the mistake was discovered.
The incident resulted in Green suing San Francisco, raising the question whether technology alone is enough to legally justify a search under the Fourth Amendment.
Green lost her case in lower court. She petitioned the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to hear her case, which agreed and overturned the ruling. The District Court had granted summary judgment for the defendants, but the appellate court sent the case back to it for a determination of whether the police had "reasonable suspicion" to detain her or "probably cause" to arrest her (even if only briefly). The panel also wanted the lower court to determine if "excessive force" had been used by the police.
The appellate court made a point of noting the limitations of license plate readers in chastising police for not double-checking the machine. "It is undisputed that the ALPR occasionally makes false 'hits' by misreading license plate numbers and mismatching passing license plate numbers with those listed as wanted in the database," Judge William K. Sessions III wrote for the court.
Law enforcement agencies across the country are embracing the plate scanner technology, indiscriminately photographing innocent citizens' cars and automatically feeding the information into databases for future reference. Los Angeles-area law enforcement agencies have reportedly photographed and scanned at least 180 million license plate images into a database.
"This case shows clearly the risks of blind reliance on technology for identification in criminal investigations," Jennifer Lynch wrote at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "If the ALPR camera had not alerted the first officer based on a false license plate read, Green never would have been stopped, and this tragedy could easily have been avoided."

After cleaning, make sure that the whole thing is dry before continuing the installation process. This is important since any moisture left may cause damage to the floor.
3. Fit the insert to find if it fits properly. After testing if the insert fits, remove the insert. Apply silicone caulking to the shower drain's upper part as well as the tub bottom's gasket. Make sure that the bead of silicone which encircles the drain brass is at least half an inch. You will feel like a bathtub Remodeling technician, but take it easy.
4. With utmost care, gently place the tub insert on the shower unit by sliding it into place. Apply ample pressure to aid in setting the insert. Fill the tub with water, the water's weight will help in putting the insert in place while the silicone is setting.
5. When the silicone has cured, it is time to drain the water. After draining, clean the tub and the insert using a mild cleaning agent as well as warm water. It is a strict no-no to use liquid abrasives or even scouring powder. Congratulations, your bathtub Remodeling is done and you may now use your new massage bathtubs!
Cleaning and maintenance
Again, in this sort fo bathtub Remodeling it is important to keep in mind that you should not employ abrasive cleaners. This is because abrasive cleaners have the potential to scratch as well as dull the unit's surface. It is advisable to use liquid detergents. These cleaning agents that have been mentioned may be used for daily cleaning of the tub and shower enclosure. Never use sa metal scraper, steel wool, or wire brushes because these tools can easily damage the whole setup. Periodically, you can scrub any mineral deposits or soap stains using gel gloss or even a dishwashing detergent. Waxing it periodically with a liquid wax can improve the luster and finish of the tub and insert.
If your bath is in any way damaged, you can easily have it repaired. Contact Tubs & More and ask for a professional repairman. If ever the services of a repairman is not available in your area, you can always contact the manufacturer of your bathtub insert as well as that of the tub itself. Repair kits can also be bought from the manufacturers or from do it yourself shops. Repair kits usually include a gel coat.
These are some of the pointers that you must consider when getting a tub insert as well as installing it.

text: FORECAST is an ecosystem-based, stand-level, forest growth simulator. The model was designed to accommodate a wide variety of harvesting and silvicultural systems in order to compare and contrast their effect upon forest productivity, stand dynamics, and various biophysical indicators of non-timber values. The model uses a hybrid approach whereby local growth and yield data are combined with other data to derive estimates of the rates of key ecosystem processes related to the productivity and resource requirements of selected species. FORECAST uses relatively simple measures of decomposition, nutrient cycling, light competition, and other ecosystem properties to simulate forest growth and ecosystem dynamics under changing management conditions. Growth occurs in annual time steps. Depending upon the species, plant populations within the model can be initiated from seed and/or vegetatively, and stand development can occur with or without competition from non-target tree species and understory populations.

There is currently a thread running over in the StructureMap Users mailing list asking if we really need constructor injection when using an Inversion of Control container. Before any one rips off on a rant let me say that I worked with Jon in my former life and I'm fairly certain he's merely conducting a thought experiment, trying to sure up his own beliefs. A worthwhile exercise, if you ask me.
At any rate, I have a few points I wanted to throw out there; most of them basic and mere reiterations of the words of others, but I'm gong to do it anyhow!
The question at hand
I would encourage you to go read the full thread (it's a quick read… 4 minutes, tops!), but knowing many of you are lazy like me, I'll reprint Jon's original question here.
Again, please go read the full thread so you have the full context.
Whenever I tell people about StructureMap (or using DI in general), I mention that two of the benefits are that (a) StructureMap will create objects and all their dependencies for you and (b) it enables you to fake out the dependencies in a test.
Why do we need constructor injection to do this? I can call
ObjectFactory.GetInstance()anytime I want and it will work. And I could leave SM configured for my tests and call
ObjectFactory.Inject()to stub things out.
So theoretically, I wouldn't even need constructor injection, right?
Jon Kruger - StructureMap ML
Let's get the jargon down
To be clear, Jon proposing using Service Location rather than Dependency Injection.
While Service location is better than poor-man's DI, using it as suggested above is still introducing a high degree of coupling as all of these classes now have an opaque and highly concrete dependency on the container. This is effectively creating a new form of
Global. Eww!
The key to using Service Location within new code is to keep it tucked away in the deepest, darkest corners of your infrastructure. For example, if you're building something on the asp.net mvc stack, you might use Service Location within a custom
IControllerFactory to create each of your controllers.
If you're dealing with legacy code, full of concrete dependencies, you might use Service Location as technique for teasing things apart with a goal of decreased hard coupling. In the end this may result in wholesale replacement of some modules.
When it comes to Dependency Injection and dependencies in general, I agree with Scott Bellware's point of view; make your dependencies explicit & transparent by requiring them in the constructor. My gut reaction is also to avoid translucent (setter-injected) dependencies as they make it harder to tell what dependencies an object will need to do its job - the shape of the object isn't as clear as with explicit constructor dependencies.
Feeling the friction
I tend to be lazy and prefer to feel friction of poor design early so I can change direction quickly. For example, when a constructor gets too large it's a signal to stop and consider Single Responsibility Principle, Separation of Concerns, etc. In a similar vein, I don't usually advocate use of an auto-mocking container. Or at least not for folks who've not yet acquired a strong nose for design and simplicity; the friction helps keep you on the rails.
Later in the tread Jon mentions some friction he's been feeling when setting up the context of his tests (or specs). Namely he's having to set up and inject a lot of concrete objects for interaction within his unit tests. To me this is an indication that those tests may actually be integration tests. After all, they are flexing the integration of a several modules in concert, right?
I say, call them what they are, fire up the fully configured container, and move on.
I prefer to make the implicit explicit, to be able easily see the shape of an object, and in getting forced feedback when my design starts to slip off the rails.

My wife read my blog the other day. Needless to say, she thinks I'm more dull than she did before ;)
Anyway, yesterday was a state holiday to celebrate pioneers that first came to Utah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Day_(Utah) . So I got the day off of work and spent the day at home (not really anything pioneer related at home, but it was hot outside). I spent most of the morning doing some more work in kdeeducore library on kvtml 2. The rest of the day was spent playing video games, and watching a movie with my brother.
As far as kvtml 2 goes, now the reader is almost done, except for a couple crucial parts I'd like to ask Frederik about before I proceed, and the writer has progressed to the point that I can convert old format kanagram and khangman files to the new format. I've realized that kanagram has been missing me lately, as my todo is getting longer instead of shorter there. Well that's enough rambling for one post I think.

One day, my friend Matt Eschbach asked me, "So you can be 1/2 muggle-born, or 1/4 muggle-born. But can you be any proportion? What about 1/3?" The question turns out to have a really elegant answer, but let's work our way up to it. (Note: In order to simplify the math, we will not consider squibs as part of the analysis. I hope those readers will not feel too marginalized by this decision.)
It is straightforward to come up with a lineage resulting in someone who is 1/2 muggle, such as Seamus Finnegan, or even 1/4 muggle. In fact, any fraction of the form \(\dfrac{a}{2^n}\), where \(a\) is an integer has some lineage that produces it. To see why, consider 13/16.
This isn't the only way a person could end up 13/16 muggle. For example, the parentage below would also work. However, it's not as neat. For one thing, it has more people in the picture. Also, it is repetitive: the grandparent who is 1/4 muggle is the child of two great-grandparents, each 1/4 muggle.
Since two parents who are each 1/4 muggle will have children who are 1/4 muggle, this can go on and on– farther back than even Bathilda Bagshot can keep track! So let's stick to the minimal lineage.
But what (Ron might ask) does any of this have to do with base 2? Well, it's not much more than the fact that we each have two parents. And each of those parents has two parents. And… so on. At level \(n\), the number of ancestors you have is \(2^n\). So if you're looking for a person who is 13/16 muggle-born, you need someone for whom 13 of their 16 great-great-grandparents were muggles.
Maybe it's easier to look at it from another perspective. Let's go back up the family tree far enough that everyone on that level is either 100% wizard, or 100% muggle. Consider Miracle Max, a wizard at this level on the family tree. Max can see into the future, and wants to calculate what his contribution to his descendants' wizardliness will be.
His children will derive half of the wizardliness from him (and half from his wife Valerie). Those children will pass along half again of that half to their own kids. Miracle Max's descendants will get 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, … of his wizardliness. Those numbers are all of the form \(\frac{1}{2^n}\).
This is true for each ancestor at this level: they contribute \(\frac{1}{2^n}\) to your wizardliness. Your total wizardliness is the sum of all these contributions. If we add up a bunch of \(\frac{1}{2^n}\) terms, the result will have the form \(\frac{a}{2^n}\), or 'some number over a power of two'.
A Refresher on Fractional Binary
We're used to writing numbers in decimal (base 10), where \(0.abc\) would mean \(\frac{a}{10} + \frac{b}{10^2} + \frac{c}{10^3}\). In binary (base 2), \(0.abc\) would mean \(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{b}{2^2} + \frac{c}{2^3}\). So we could write 5/8 as \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{0}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = 0.101_2\). (The little subscript 2 is saying 'this number is written in base 2')
There are some numbers that are hard to write down in decimal form (eg, \(1/3 = 0.3333 \ldots \)). We need a dot-dot-dot in order to fully capture the number. Binary also has numbers like this: \(2/5 = 0.0110011001100\ldots _2\). In fact, the only numbers that you can write without a dot-dot-dot in binary are \(\dfrac{a}{2^n}\).
An Easier Way
If you were paying close attention, you may have noticed that I didn't include 16 great-great-grandparents in the first genealogy tree. To save myself the drawing, I used the trick of writing 13/16 in binary: \[ \frac{13}{16} = 0.1101_2 \] The binary form tells us that in order to be 13/16 muggle-born, we need \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{0}{8} + \frac{1}{16}\) of the ancestry to be of muggle origin. In other words, we need 1 parent, 1 additional grandparent, no additional great-grandparents, and 1 additional great-great-grandparent.
So what about 1/3?
We'll use the trick we've developed and look at the binary representation of the fraction. To write 1/3 in binary, we need to keep writing 1s and 0s forever. Specifically, \[ \frac{1}{3} = 0.01010101010\ldots_2 = \frac{0}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{0}{8} + \frac{1}{16} + \ldots \] A wizard who was 1/3 muggle-born would need to have an infinite ancestry!

Galanis Blog: Mental Pre Game Preparation
Mental Pre Game Preparation
Pre Game preparation is the most underestimated and neglected part of a soccer player's life. Not enough athletes know how to prepare for a game. To me it is a huge part of being an athlete because it's what prepares your mind to battle, to execute, and to perform. It is what prepares your body to work tirelessly for the entire game. Without the right mental preparation you will underperform. There is no doubt about that.
Most athletes think that preparing for the game means warming up your body and stretching prior to the game, waking up and eating a good meal and sipping some water, or having a good night's sleep the day before the game. But preparing for your next game starts after the previous game. Preparing for your next game never starts and never ends. You need to always be preparing and always mentally thinking of your next challenge.
Mentally, your mind needs an abundant amount of time focusing on the upcoming game; visualizing the events that can take place in the upcoming game, telling your mind it will focus and work its hardest, telling yourself that you will not give up no matter what and telling yourself you will win.
I always tell my elite students to find time in each day to put themselves in a quiet room and think about the game ahead; to think about the different scenarios that could come up in their next game. For example, if you're a midfielder, visualize winning tackles, distributing passes, taking on players, etc. If you're a striker, visualize getting on the end of crosses, shooting at goal, making runs, etc. When you take the time to visualize these plays during the week you will execute them with instinct during the game.
Our brain is a muscle that not only needs to be fed with visualization and positive thinking, but also with sleep in order to perform. Consistently getting the proper amount of sleep gives your brain the rest it needs to be sharp come game time. When your brain has not rested it will react to plays rather than anticipate plays. A tired brain means slow decisions, and slow decisions means second to the ball and second at reading what will happen next.
As we say at the Academy "the fastest player on the field is not the fastest runner but the fastest thinker".

Most meadowhawks (Sympetrum) are red—at least the males are, and sometimes the females too—but the Cardinal Meadowhawk (S. illotum) is about as red as they get. Mature males are simply vivid. Among the first spring-flying dragonflies in the Pacific Northwest lowlands west of the Cascades, it's a welcome splash of color after a damp, dreary winter. Look for them at marshes and well-vegetated ponds and lakes of all sizes. Check out this map at OdonataCentral and see if this species has been recorded in your area.
They are also pretty easy to identify between the abdomen lacking any black patterning (which I think amplifies the redness), the red face, the brown thorax with a pair of white spots on the side, and wings with short basal black streaks enveloped in an amber suffusion and bright saffron veins along the leading edge. Females are either brownish or reddish in color, but either way they have the same white spots on the thorax and the short black streaks at the wing bases—a unique character among our meadowhawks.

Identifying Climate Risks and Assessing Differential Vulnerability of Communities in Ahmednagar and Aurangabad Districts of Maharashtra
By Marcella D'Souza, K. Bhavana Rao, Suchita Awasthi, Divya Nazareth and Ramkumar Bendapudi
Click image to download the paper
Written by members of ASSAR from the Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR), this working paper presents an example of how agricultural practices in rural Maharashtra, India have been – and continue to be – transformed in response to changing climates and additional stresses brought on by non-climatic aggravators.
Using a community-engaging vulnerability assessment tool to evaluate the climate risks and vulnerabilities of different social groups, the WOTR team found that caste and community had important bearings on people's livelihoods, approaches to agriculture, and resource access – all of which affected their vulnerability. In addition to offering guidance on important things to consider when designing and implementing vulnerability assessments, the insights from this work can be used to inform adaptation and mitigation policies and practices, and ensure that they help to build the adaptive capacities of different groups of people.

Share the post "Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Sweet Honey in the Rock: On Sale Thursday, 11/19"
Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Sweet Honey in the Rock come together for unique musical experience, March 1 at the Long Center. Tickets go on sale Thursday, November 19th, at noon.
During the 1970's and early 1980's Ladysmith Black Mambazo established themselves as the most succesful singing group in South Africa. In the mid-1980s, Paul Simon visited South Africa and incorporated the group's rich tenor/alto/bass harmonies into his famous "Graceland" album – a landmark recording that was considered seminal in introducing world music to mainstream audiences. A year later, Paul Simon produced Ladysmith Black Mambazo's first worldwide release, "Shaka Zulu", which won a Grammy Award in 1988 for Best Folk Recording. Since then, the group has been awarded two more Grammy Awards ("Raise Your Spirit Higher (2004) and "Ilembe (2009)") and has been nominated a total of fifteen times.
Sweet Honey in the Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble. They are an American Grammy Award–winning (and many times nominated) troupe who express their history as African-American women through song, dance, and sign language.[1] Originally a four-person ensemble, the group have expanded to five-part harmonies, with a sixth member acting as a sign-language interpreter. Although the members have changed over three decades, the group continues to sing and perform worldwide.

A Last year we decided to have a fun Halloween evening for the kids. Although we don't really do the Halloween-thing here in South Africa as much as it is done in the US, my kids have grown up with it {having cousins living in the US}.
We couldn't go from house to house collecting sweet treats as unless it is organised in one of the estates, no one does it. In our previous home, we used to have trick or treating each year as the estate we lived in organised a fun evening for the kids and they could safely go from house to house collecting goodies.
In our new home, our estate is simply too big and the houses are too far apart for any trick or treating to take place.
So I invited some friends & family over and asked each family to set up an area in our garden {in the dark!} & equip it with some scary stuff & loads of candy so the kids could go do trick or treating. They had so much fun dressing up {and I had
equally as much more fun designing invitations, the menu and decorating the table}.
Here's the email invitation:
{digital elements from Weeds & Wildflowers design}
Here's the menu…{just to clarify – we had hamburgers for dinner!}
{Can you see why I had more fun than the kids?} g
At the time I was so busy with the decorating, preparing the food and sorting out costumes for the kids that I didn't take many photos of my decor. {And not good ones either!}.
My overly-dramatic and orange-obsessed pre-teen wacky-witch daughter (middle) with her cousin {who was dressed as a victim of some or other monster attack} and my daughter's friend the other "wacky witch":
My son and his best friends- taking the "vampire" thing a little far!:
The table – I unfortunately took this pic after the kids had destroyed it a bit, but you can get an idea. The balloon topiaries were made by tying 5 balloons together with ribbon and placing them on top of a dowel stick pushed into a pot filled with sand. The pot was wrapped with purple cellophane and to finish it off, I hung curly ribbons down from the balloons. "Easy peasy" and great for recycling for the next party – simply add new balloons & ribbon and in need, change the colour of the cellophane.
These little jack-o-lanterns were a cute idea for candles – but unfortunately not too well thought through! {Note to self here!} Flame + plastic = melted jack-o-lantern!! So I ended up with one candle becoming an orange blob which has now left a permanent stain on my sandstone counter top! {You live & learn!}
Eyeballs {plastic toys} floating in some punch…
The trick-or-treaters…
And now for a freebie…
I also made popcorn boxes decorated again with Weeds & Wildflowers' cute digi Halloween elements.
I have a download for you of this popcorn box – so go ahead and grab it. Click on the picture to enlarge, right click and save.
- Print out 2 copies onto A4 cardstock and cut them out.
- Glue the two pieces together by gluing a side flap under one of the straight sides (matching the edges to get the box straight).
- Glue the bottom flaps overlapping each other and glue the other side flap to the inside of the box. Easy!(
If you have any problems, send me an email or leave a question in the comments here – as I'm not sure if the picture will be the correct size. {If you have problems, I'll load it on 4-shared this afternoon}.
{If you like the cute dingbats I've used in this post – they are a free font called "KR Boo Lane" – not sure, but I probably downloaded it from www.dafont.com – I LOVE their free fonts!}
Have a great Tuesday!
