    oraInventory Printout in 11g

    In 10g or previous version, during a database install, there was always a button on the OUI to see what is installed based on the contents of the oraInventory.

    I don't see this anymore on the 11g OUI.

    Does anyone know how I can find that same information - contents of the oraInventory that I can save and printout?

    You mean the Installed Products on the Welcome screen/window? It's there if you have any installed products. Do you have anything installed that OUI would see in an oraInventory location? If not, there is nothing installed, so no button (what's there to see?).

    Perhaps the "oraInst.loc" file (which contains the path to the inventory location) is missing or is in the incorrect location.

    It should be located in the following path depending on the OS:

    1) On Unix/Linux:
    /etc -- or --
    and always a copy under the $ORACLE_HOME

    2) On Windoze registry:

Am I going to have high blood pressure sooner rather than later?

It's in my own flesh and blood but most of us don't get it until age 45. Two doctor visits ago my bp be 110/80 and today it was 120/70.
Isn't this borderline high? I'm surrounded by my early twenties, I don't smoke (or drink much), I don't eat *any* junkfood and am gossamer. *sighs*

What should I do? The only reason I found out just about the bp was because I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy and hold been going to the doctor every four weeks or so.

Answer:    No Prehypertension is 140/90. "Normal" is about 120/80. Since you own a newbie on the way, I say thats a obedient BP reading. Limit your sodium intake. Do every thing the Dr ask you do to have a joyful baby. Since the Dr is watching your health every 4 wks, You will be fine. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Juices that don't enjoy high frutose corn syrup. Don't worry..
You're beneath the care of your doctor and that is great. He/she will monitor your BP at respectively visit and advise you if it is a concern.

As far as your long occupancy concern, here is a link to a site all in the region of heart disease (BP being a major portion of that).

Take your time and explore the site. You should find lots of useful information about well-mannered lifestyle choices including diet, exercise, blood pressure, stress, cholesterol, and so on.

Best wishes to you and your baby!

  • In the acute fase of leptospirosis, what is the usual inventory of leptospires found surrounded by the blood?
  • Dyshidrotic eczema on my arms and legs, any design for treatment?
  • Will i slip away a drug theory test if i someked a blunt similar to 3 months ago ?
  • Can i hold a common babe-in-arms if im diabetic?
  • Is in attendance a route to question paper to see if you have a stroke?
  • My 13 yr dated son have gotten 20 small raise moles on his side over times past 3 wks. Should I be concerned?
  • Does Acnexus really work for acne, and how long does it bear for you to in truth catch sight of the results?

International Office

Pre-Arrival Information

Immigration Regulations

You do not require an entry visa for Ireland if you are an EU citizen. However, you should bring with you your letter of confirmation of a place at DCU and some proof that you have sufficient financial resources for your stay.

If you are not an EU citizen, the situation varies, so please contact your nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate to find out whether or not you require an entry visa or you may inquire from the Department of Foreign Affairs at the address provided below. The Department also provides a list of countries whose citizens require visas for Ireland. Please see below for a list of non-EU countries whose citizens do not require visas.

The following addresses will provide you with detailed information on immigration:

  • Letter from the University indicating that you have been offered a place in DCU
  • Letter from University indicating that the fees have been paid in full

  • Proof of medical insurance
  • In some cases proof of English, such as an IELTS or TOEFL certificate is required

These documents should be sent to your local Irish Embassy. Visa applications can take between 2 and 8 months to process, so it is advisable to secure a place early at the University, in order to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately the University has no control or influence over visa issues but will advise where possible.  After you have been granted a Visa to enter Ireland, please view this page on the Departments website regarding entering Ireland

Frequent asked questions regarding Visas, (click here)

Please take into consideration that processing may take longer at certain times of the year or depending on the complexity of the application.

It is the responsibility of the applicant, to ensure that the full, complete application is submitted in sufficient time for a decision to be made before date of arrival.

Registration with the Immigration Authorities in Ireland: (GNIB Registration, student residence permit)

Students from outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)

After arriving in Ireland, all students from outside the EU or the EEA must register at the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB click here). The date by which you must do so will be indicated by the Immigration Authorities at your point of arrival into Ireland (this date will be indicated on your passport stamp). Please bear in mind that a visa only permits you to enter Ireland and does not guarantee you a right to remain in the country so you must register within the time frame indicated. It is important to note that on entering Ireland you will be given a status by the immigration officers that cannot be changed within the State, e.g. if you enter as a tourist you may not change this status to a student without leaving Ireland and re-entering.

When registering with GNIB you will need to take along:

  1. A valid passport
  2. An entry visa (where applicable)
  3. Student Card from DCU, valid for the current Academic year
  4. Evidence of financial support; to include one of the following
    • Copy of your Irish Bank Account with a minimum amount of €3000.
    • If you are in receipt of Federal Aid, a letter from the International office indicating this.
    • Students on a Scholarship should provide a copy of their Financial Guarantee or a letter from the International office confirming your scholarship.
  5. Proof of your residential address in Dublin, e.g. a utility bill showing your name and address or a letter from your landlord/student residence confirming your address (your statement from your bank will be acceptable provided it state your current address in Ireland.
  6. A letter from International Office in DCU indicating that you are a registered student at DCU and that full fees have been paid to the University.
  7. Evidence of Private Health Insurance is required for Non-EU Students
  8. There is a Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform charge of €300 each time you register. This can be paid by credit card or Debit card.  Otherwise the Immigration Officer will issue you with a bank giro form and request you to complete this and return again with confirmation that it has been paid. No cash is accepted at GNIB.

Re-entry Visas

Your first visa for Ireland will be a single entry visa. If you have a valid reason for leaving Ireland for a short period of time, you must apply for a Re-entry visa in advance of making any arrangements. The International Office will provide you with a letter for this purpose provided that you have registered with GNIB and are attending your course. Supporting evidence of the above will be requested before a letter can be issued. If you are traveling from Ireland to a country other than your own country, it is your responsibility to find out if you require a visa for the third country. NOTE: a visa must be obtained from the UK authorities prior to traveling to Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of Counties Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. You will also require a visa to re-enter the Republic of Ireland. A multi-entry visa will allow you to leave and re-enter the State any number of times within the dates shown on your visa.

Study Visa Renewal

You are responsible for renewing your GNIB registration card each time it expires. If you are doing a degree over a number of years, you must renew your card for the coming academic year. The International Office will issue you a letter to support this provided you have been attending your course and fulfilling all the necessary requirements. Any breach of your visa conditions will lead to a review of your case and possible removal from the State and/or bar on re-entry.

He Was A Friend of Mine

I just lost a friend named Frank at 45. So young with a lot of life left to live ahead of him. Three kids and his his loving wife He won't be there for the "firsts" I noticed at his wake last night the out pouring of love and comfort shown to this man and his family I was told that he had a line at the funeral home from 4:00 to 9:00 I was one of many who standed in the line I waited for an hour and 15 minutes before I could even pay my respects to his wife, kids, brothers, sister and parents.

There are not too many people out there when you meet for the first time to hit it off Frank was one of those people who would engage in conversation with any stranger and then would become his friend I am one of those people I am going to miss Frank and all of our little conversations while hanging out watching our friends band play I guess I will see you when I meet up with you in paradise in the meantime please have a cold one ready for me

See you world differently with a careers at Deakin

Feedback from Staff Development courses

Below are just a few of the many encouraging comments we have received from staff who have attended our Staff Development courses:

Performance Review Conversation (Managers)

  • "I would recommend this training to all new (and existing) managers and supervisors. I feel that the 'refresher' information I received, not only helped reinforce what I knew, it has also helped improve what I could be doing. I was able to put the new information I received I can put into practice immediately. The timing of the course was also perfect as I could use what I learnt the very next day."
  • "Great discussion and very informative."
  • "Case studies were great- enjoyed observing the dynamic between manager and staff members."
  • "Case studies were good. Thanks it was very useful overall."

A Worldly Guide to Culturally Diverse Names

  • "I now have a greater understanding of which names are 'personal' or 'family' names and can pronounce students' names more clearly which will avoid embarrassment and perceived insensitivity in communicating with international students."

Managing Difficult and Awkward Conversations

  • "Good course on a difficult topic. Reinforcing of processes to deal with issues in workplace."
  • "Great session, very effective and professionally managed by the facilitators."

Team Leadership and Development

  • "Great course and well presented."

Equipping Leaders to Drive Change

  • "A very engaging session, full of wisdom that helped me to expand my thinking."
  • "It proved a great self-reflective course which would benefit everyone. Facilitator was amazing. Loved the session."

Successful Communication at Deakin

  • "Extremely valuable and one of the best short courses I have ever attended. Very relevant to my day-to-day work."

Behavioural Interviewing

  • "Very interesting. Good session which is useful for staff involved in recruitment. Suggest a similar session be taken regularly by staff in this type of position."
  • "This training was valuable and I got a lot out of it, thank you."

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Legislation

From 1st July 2007, all retailers of electrical goods must comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation.

This is a scheme to prevent all such waste being disposed of in general landfill sites and to promote recycling of components and materials. The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.

How do I know what product is "WEEE"? The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster. However, some product, such as a child’s soft toy with an electric circuit, is not classed as WEEE as its primary function is a toy. For further details on product definitions, please click here.

You may also take the item(s) to your local authority Civic Amenity Site if this is more convenient.

Follow Me To The Deep End!!

Feb 5, 2009

Spicy Duck Web. One of the 7 Food Wonders of the World (Next to Turducken & the Bacon Explosion). King Hua Restaurant. Alhambra, CA.

Oh what a tangled web of duck...

By its appearance, the spicy duck web at King Hua Restaurant seems to have been quickly stripped off the foot of a dumbfounded duck like a rubber booty made for waterfowl — except, it’s not. Or maybe the technique was more in the style of a classic cartoon character who suddenly finds himself sans skeleton and just sort of falls into a puddle of skin and flesh.

The thing is, in the real world, someone had to debone these duck feet for my dining pleasure. Imagine deboning a duck’s foot. Okay, now imagine doing it while leaving the duck’s webbed foot perfectly intact.

I can’t visualize an easy way to remove the bone from a duck’s foot without shredding it so horribly that in the end it looks like Freddy Krueger or Wolverine prepped this odd dim sum delicacy. But, as they say (kinda), where there’s a will to eat boneless duck feet, there’s a way to debone it. And, friends, it isn’t simple.

In fact, removing bones from duck feet is such a complicated task, it’s patent worthy (US Patent 5437884).

The patented method is maddening and involves freezing, thawing, slow cooking, clipping toes, soaking in bleach and hot water, inserting a tube, yanking bones out by hand, etc. This reads more like a Guantánamo Bay interrogation technique than instructions for processing duck feet.

No bones about it. Really.

And, clearly, the only sane reason to even consider applying for a patent for this exact purpose is that there must be a big demand for boneless duck feet, right? And take one guess at who demands all these fowl feet? C'mon, guess!

The answer: my brothers and sisters. Yes, the Chinese, of course! We love our spicy duck web. Even if, say, only 1% of the 1.3 billion Chinese on Earth love the spicy duck web, that’s still over 13 million spicy duck web eaters. That’s a lot of Yuan.

That’s also a lot of floppy feet slowly cooked, chilled then tossed in a spicy, red pepper sauce. The result is a unique textural dichotomy that many Chinese adore — slippery yet crunchy like seaweed with dimples. The flavor acts as accessory. Duck skin is mostly bland with some taste coming from the remnants of fat lying underneath while the red pepper sauce lends these paddlers a little kick, so the big draw for people who deliberately order duck web is the mouthfeel.

Mouth. Feel. Feet. Yum-yum. Gimme some duck web dim sum. This is a feet treat that will have me running back for more.

Kyle/thebookpolice said...

Brother can't get a little crunch? Served hot? One or the other, if not both?

Poultry foot texture is not entirely pleasant when cold, in this Anglo's opinion.

Eddie Lin said...

Brother Kyle,

Actually, my white friend at the dim sum brunch where I ate the duck web liked them. He didn't love them. He liked them. He's also a "liker" of chicken feet aka phoenix talons. So some of your Anglo brethren don't mind cold feet (of duck).

Wandering Chopsticks said...

What about duck tongue? I like it best in rice porridge. My momma always says it's a luxury item because think of how many ducks you have to kill to get enough tongues for a bowl of porridge.

Eddie Lin said...

I got your duck tongue:

But, wouldn't you agree, it's much more difficult to debone a duck's foot than to tear its tongue out? Still, you're right, that's a lot of duck. Ugh, I just made myself sick.

Aliiiiiiiiice said...

Mmmm... feet...

btw - what the frak is oxygen bLeach??

Whatevs. It's not like anything that geLatinousLy dericious couLd possibLy be a heaLth food.

Damn, it'd taste so ono chopped up and mixed in some tarako pasta. Mmmm... kewpie mayo... ::drooLs::

Juliet said...

You have such unique dim sum treats there that I haven't experienced here (also the chicken knees). I can't wait to get down there again so I can try some!

Hunter Angler Gardener Cook said...

Damn. I am a duck hunter and I pride myself on using everything but the quack. But. Damn. Sorry, Eddie, I am not taking 4 hours to debone my duck feet for a cold dim sum. Into the stock pot they go!

And Wandering Chopsticks? You got that right about duck tongues. I can make that dish maybe once or twice a season, tops.

But I got for you, Eddie: duck heart tartare, Puttanesca-style. Willing to give it a go?

Eddie Lin said...

yeah, bleach, no good. kewpie mayo, good.

LA's the place for odd dim sum.

hunter angler gardener cook,

that duck heart tartare looks really good. i'd love to try it. i'm not sure if i'd love to make it though. thanks!

Arrow If ever the producti

If ever the production of the Volt did push thgoruh it would have been the biggest environmental breakthgoruh for this century. But sadly it seems that the Volt would simply remain a concept. At present, company officials are trying to cool things down after disappointing the world by not pushing thgoruh with the Volt.GM has called upon a group of journalists to whom they explained the ordeal that the company will go thgoruh if ever they would go on with the production of the Volt.

Editorial: Make the Deal

Nov. 12, 2012 - 01:54PM   |
  • Filed Under

With the U.S. election over, averting more than $1 trillion in automatic government-wide spending cuts must become Washington’s top priority.

To extend the nation’s borrowing limit in 2011, lawmakers passed the Budget Control Act, which directed $1 trillion in immediate cuts across government — half from defense — and another $1 trillion by Jan. 2 absent a broader deficit-reduction deal.

The fear is that a cut so deep and sudden across government — 10 percent off each program, project or activity and half from DoD — would undermine an improving but still fragile economy.

President Barack Obama has exempted military manpower from cuts, so acquisition, services and operations will be hit harder if sequestration happens. But he also has made clear his conviction that such a draconian outcome will be avoided.

Fortunately, there is bipartisan agreement that sequestration would be bad, specifically

because of the untargeted and traumatic way it would cut

defense spending: Everything would be cut equally without differentiation.

While many concede that defense can bear deeper cuts in coming years, the problem with sequestration is accommodating such a deep hit in year one, given that budget cuts would come on top of a 10-year, $489 billion budget cut outlined earlier this year.

America finds itself on the so-called fiscal cliff, which combines both the sequestration threat and the anticipated expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, because Congress and the White House failed to craft a bipartisan compromise over the past two years.

Republicans, having sparked the crisis by threatening to block an increase to the nation’s borrowing limit, had hoped that stonewalling the president would push him from office so they could strike a deal with one of their own.

It didn’t work.

The day after elections, Americans awoke with the same president, roughly the same Congress and the same problems. Obama and Republican leaders have discussed reaching across the aisle to compromise, but both sides are cool to any deal that undercuts their parties’ principles.

They must relent. America needs a deal.

Though months of tense negotiations lay ahead, and ideological differences inevitably will tempt both sides to quit, it is imperative that leaders seize this moment and move quickly toward compromise. The days of my-way-or-the-highway negotiations are over.

The president and Congress must act swiftly, not only to avert sequestration, but also to again raise the nation’s borrowing limit, a necessity that no amount of partisan gamesmanship can deny. Remember, the U.S. ended up with the sequestration solution only after some in Congress nearly pushed the government into

default, causing credit-rating

agencies to issue warnings about American debt.

Credit-rating agencies are again warning they may downgrade America’s credit if a deal cannot be made. That, in turn, will drive up America’s debt burden, expanding the deficit and forcing even more draconian cuts. Reverberations would be felt around the world.

As Obama has said, no deal will be to everyone’s liking. But the time for advisory commissions and blue-ribbon panels has come and gone. Together, the administration and Congress must prudently trim spending, increase revenues by allowing at least some of the Bush-era tax cuts to expire, and raise the debt ceiling.

Those seeking a true austerity budget can look to Europe to see what that will bring: higher unemployment and a stagnant recovery.

America must do better than that. And with bipartisan compromise, it can. The consequences for the economy that underwrites U.S. national security are too great for failure to be an option.

Definitions for patmosˈpæt mɒs, -moʊs, -məs

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word patmos

  1. Patmos

    Patmos is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex, it has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 km². The highest point is Profitis Ilias, 269 metres above sea level. The Municipality of Patmos, which includes the offshore islands of Arkoi, Marathos, and several uninhabited islets, has a total population of 3,047 and a combined land area of 45.039 square kilometres. It is part of the Kalymnos regional unit. Patmos' main communities are Chora, and Skala, the only commercial port. Other settlements are Grikou and Kampos. The churches and communities on Patmos are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The monastery was founded by Saint Christodulos. Patmos is also home to the Patmian School, a notable Greek seminary. Patmos is mentioned in the Christian scriptural Book of Revelation. The book's introduction states that its author, John, was on Patmos when he was given a vision from Jesus. Early Christian tradition identified this writer John of Patmos as John the Apostle, though some modern scholars are uncertain. As such, Patmos is a destination for Christian pilgrimage. Visitors can see the cave where John is said to have received his Revelation, and several monasteries on the island are dedicated to Saint John.

The Nuttall Encyclopedia

  1. Patmos

    a barren rocky island in the Ægean Sea, S. of Samos, 28 m. in circuit, where St. John suffered exile, and where it is said he wrote the Apocalypse.

Recipe courtesy of Susan Spicer's cookbook, "Crescent City Cooking"

Serves 4
Prep time: about 45 minutes

3 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature

1/4 pound pancetta, diced and cooked until crisp

2 tablespoons diced marinated sun-dried tomatoes

1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or fresh herbs of your choice (such as rosemary, thyme, and/or basil)

1 garlic clove, minced

This filling can be made one day in advance. Using a fork, combine the goat cheese, pancetta, tomatoes, herbs, and garlic in a small bowl. Chill the mixture for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to use it, let the cheese mixture soften slightly at room temperature.

1 cup Zinfandel or full-flavored red wine

1 medium shallot, finely minced

2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary, or a combination

2 cups lamb stock (or substitute rich Chicken Stock [see book for recipe])

2 tablespoons butter, cut in four pieces

Salt and pepper

Place the wine, shallot, and herb in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup of liquid. Remove the herb sprigs.

Whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time. The sauce should be glossy and slightly syrupy (but not so thick that it sticks your lips together; add a tablespoon or two of hot water if it gets too thick). Taste and season with salt and pepper.

1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb loin, cut into 4 (6-ounce) portions

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Goat Cheese Filling

Zinfandel Sauce

Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Sear the lamb on both sides for a minute or so, to brown, and then reduce the heat and cook each side 3–4 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and let rest. You may serve the loins whole or sliced, with equal portions of the goat cheese mixture crumbled along the top and Zinfandel sauce spooned over it.

Penelope Makes the Lamb

Here's what to serve at your next (small) dinner party. I used store-bought organic chicken stock for the Zinfandel sauce, but otherwise hewed exactly to Spicer's instructions. The bang-per-buck ratio was enormous: The goat cheese dressing and silky, deep purple Zin sauce were gorgeous-looking and -tasting, and took so little time and brain power that I felt quite cheflike and preened for hours afterwards — causing much eye-rolling in my family. There's something about a sauce....

Chilled Cucumber Soup with Roasted Baby Beets

A chilled cucumber soup gains extra flavor and tang from yogurt. The soup is garnished with roasted beets.

Level: Easy
Serves: 8
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

  • 3.00 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2.00 small onions
  • 4.00 clove garlic
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 0.75 c. water
  • 3.00 large Cucumbers
  • 1.50 c. plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 6.00 baby beets (red, golden, or a combination)
  • 3.00 tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 3.00 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

  1. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup water. Cover, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Let stand until cool.
  2. Place onion mixture and cucumbers in a food processor, and process until smooth. Add yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water, and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  3. Meanwhile, make the beets: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a piece of foil with parchment. Place beets in center, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold parchment and foil over beets, crimping along edges to create a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and roast until beets can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes. Rub skins off beets with a paper towel. Cut beets into 1/2-inch cubes, 1/2-inch-thick wedges, or a combination. (Beets will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.)
  4. Stir parsley and lemon juice into chilled soup. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among 8 bowls. Garnish with beets and sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

Separating but not yet separated.
Advertisements [?]
I can't understand why I must leave him. At first it was clear because I thought there was somewhere I had to go. But months have passed and I have had to accept the painful reality that I am moving on alone. At times the terror I feel - at night in my own bed, or while opening the door to the house that will soon be not ours, while kissing my smallest son on his forehead after tucking him snugly into bed - it takes me aback with its sheer strength. The activities which once gave me pleasure have been abandoned because I haven't the will nor the energy to be happy. I am using all my resources just holding on to the idea that tomorrow it will be a little easier and next week yet easier, but still my doubts are nearly overpowering. And I'm so lonely. Surrounded by my children and the husband I have rejected, I have never felt as isolated as I do now.

Sometimes it seems I should stay just to avoid all of this pain.

Denim Sample Sales for May 13, 2010

by Jaime on May 13, 2010

- MiH jeans will be appearing on Gilt Groupe at 12pm EST. This London-based brand is definitely one that will go fast… it’s not often on the sample sale circuit, so this could be a fun sale. I’ve heard a lot of good things about their Marrakesh Wide Leg!

I’m at a loss for other denim sales today… frustrating, I know, but there will be more tomorrow! Also, for those of you who like super deals, Modnique has updated their Last Call Boutique. My big find was a Jet by John Ashaya denim skirt at 80% off!

Did I miss a sale? Leave the details in the comments!

Happy Shopping!

Nordic Tune Up slated for Sunday

— The second annual Capital Region Nordic Alliance (CRNA) Nordic Tune Up is back, partnering with the North Creek business community for a one-day, family-oriented day of nordic activities on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Event organizers, CRNA President Russ Myer and Gore Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Salamon, have responded to last year’s requests to have the activities closer to the village by having the roller ski event through the North Creek at 9 a.m. and a family scoot and shoot paintball biathlon event (walking/running and target shooting) at the Ski Bowl at 11 a.m. At 1 p.m. in the Ski Bowl indoor center, U.S. Paralympic Nordic athlete Augusto Perez and team physical therapist James Wallace will give a presentation on the U.S. Paralympic Nordic Team’s preparation for the upcoming Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. The presentation is free and open to the public.

The biathlon is $5 for children/youth, $10 for adults. The roller ski event costs $15 (pre-registration), $20 (at the door). Registration can occur through CRNA’s website at http://capitalregionnordicalliance.org/event.

Both Myer and Salamon are working with various eateries in the village as well as other businesses to support the participants and their families to have their visit in the historic village one that will bring them back for many years to come.

The event is intended to get the community thinking about upcoming fun winter activities ... none better than cross-country skiing at Garnet Hill, Cunningham’s Ski Barn or at the Ski Bowl.

CRNA provides year-round nordic activities to the entire community, with particular attention to those with special needs/disabilities.

5A high school football playoffs: Big second half lifts Cottonwood over Herriman

Published: Friday, July 3 2015 12:15 p.m. MDT

MURRAY — Being that Halloween is right around the corner, saying that Cottonwood received a scare in the first half of its 5A first-round home game against Herriman Friday afternoon would be nothing short of appropriate.

After three first-half turnovers and a barrage of mistakes and penalties the Colts found themselves trailing at halftime to the first-year school.

However, the second half was a far different story.

The Colts dominated in every aspect from the third quarter on and scored touchdowns on four straight drives to open the half en route to a convincing 54-24 win to advance to the second round.

"We put our defense in bad situations in the first quarter with three turnovers right off the bat — it was a nightmare. We couldn't ask for a worse start," said Cottonwood coach Josh Lyman. "I thought our team did well and responded. They woke us up they did a great job."

The Mustangs jumped to an early 8-0 lead after recovering two straight fumbles by Cottonwood. On third and two, Herriman quarterback Teuni Lupeamanu found Graham Smith on a play-action pass — the Mustangs then incorporated some trickery with a fake PAT pass.

Two possessions later Herriman's Tanner Rush picked off a pass and returned it 32 yards to set his team up in scoring position once more. Three plays later Rush delivered again with an incredible reception in tight coverage to boost the score to 15-0.

"They were really well prepared. We knew that we would have our hands full," said Lyman.

That was when the tide began to turn. The Colts began marching steadily and eventually scored when sophomore quarterback Cooper Bateman found wideout Inoke Lotulelei in the corner of the end zone. It was the first of three scoring hookups between the tandem on the night.

"Just take care of the football — that's what we told our offense. We just had to execute and take care of the football," said Lyman, when asked what was said at halftime, "Luckily our team woke up in the second half."

Bateman finished with four touchdown passes, and found the end zone once with his legs.

With the win, Cottonwood advances to the second round and will host the Jordan Beetdiggers. The 'Diggers are coming off a blowout victory against Davis in the first round.

"We can't (start slow) against Jordan. We're not going to go very far turning the ball over like that in the first half (against Jordan)," said Lyman.

Rhubarb Streusel Bread

Rhubarb Streusel Bread (Adapted from Land O Lakes)

For the streusel

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch salt

For the batter

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest
2 large eggs
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups 1/4" diced fresh rhubarb

To prepare streusel

In a small bowl, add sugars, flour, butter, cinnamon and salt - stir until mixture is moistened.

To prepare the batter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, sugar and zest until very creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing until well combined after each. Mix in orange juice and vanilla - it will look curdled, but that is ok. Add dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in rhubarb.

Scoop half of the batter into an 8" x 4" loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Scatter half of the streusel mixture over the batter, gently pressing down to adhere. Scoop remaining batter on top. Scatter remaining streusel over the top, gently pressing down to adhere.

Place pan into the oven and bake until a wooden skewer placed into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached, about 60 to 70 minutes. Remove and set pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then remove bread from the pan and let cool completely.

Makes about 12 servings.

Just found the recipe? Click here to see where we talked about it!

  1. This sounds amazing! I am always looking for new ways to use my rhubarb - and since it is ready to start harvesting, this is on my list for weekend baking! Thanks!

  2. Wendy - I hope you enjoy the bread!

Stuffed potato cakes...

It's time to bust out those old potato mashers you have hidden in the junk drawer... you'll need it so you can make these Southwestern-Style Mashed Potato Cakes we had for dinner!

With a filling stuffed inside, these potato cakes do take some effort and time to prepare, but we thought it was worth it! The cakes are made from potatoes that we boiled until they were just tender, cooled down to room temperature and smashed with a sprinkling of flour, a clove of garlic and a couple pinches of salt. A little soft at this point, you'll want to stash this in the refrigerator for a little while to firm the potatoes up.

The firmer smashed potatoes are now divide into 12 portions, with each being squished to a round patty - much like a hamburger. To half of the rounds, we mounded a combination of sharp cheddar, corn kernels and just a touch of pickled jalapeño peppers on top. The patties without the topping are then set on top and the two are joined together by sealing the edges and gently reshaping the stuffed cake back into an even round. To give the cakes a crunchy exterior, the potato rounds are first dusted with seasoned flour, slid through a pool of beaten egg and then smothered in chunky panko breadcrumbs. Do you really have to use panko? I guess not, but those coarse crumbs provide an outstanding crispness that just doesn't compare to the regular fine breadcrumbs you might already have in the pantry. They used to be fairly hard to find in some areas, but not so much anymore... they just might not be in the most obvious place in the market - be sure to ask if you don't see them! While the cakes are probably soft enough that some of the panko breadcrumbs would stay on if you skipped the other steps, doing this breading process allows the crumbs to adhere so much better, especially through flipping and jostling them around during the browning process.

To brown up the exterior of the cakes and warm them through, turning those shreds of cheese inside into a hidden surprise of oozing love, they are set into a golden pool of sizzling melted butter. This shouldn't take too long - it was just a few minutes per side for us before we were anxiously shoving our forks through the crispy crust. Comforting and tasty, what I loved was the contrast in textures between the crunch of the panko coating, the warm, creamy potato insides and the unique bite from the jalapeño, cheese and corn in the filling. We had two cakes as a main dish, but you could probably stretch this to 8 individual patties if you wanted to serve this as a smaller side.

  1. YUM! One of the old restaurants here in Houston makes something called "hot tots" as a side dish. They're mashed potato, cheese and jalapeno balls that lightly fried. This is the first recipe that I've ever seen that comes even close to mimicking hot tots! I'm going to have to try these just to see how close they are. Thanks for posting them!

  2. These sounds so good! A nice different side dish to make, thanks!

  3. Terri - I've never heard of those, but I hope they are somewhat close!

    Rachel - Yeah! They didn't do too bad the next day either.

    Bunny - Thanks!

  4. Hi Joe,
    I love your recipes, and this is the first one I've ever tried that, well, didn't work. The potatoes were just too gooey, even though I refrigerated them for a long time and kept adding flour. I just couldn't make patties out of them; they were too wet. Any advice?

    All was not lost, though. I mashed up the goo with the filling, and it made for some very tasty mashed potatoes.

  5. Barnabybremen - Well, I've gone over the recipe a few times and don't see why they would end up gooey. There is no extra liquid added, so I'm not sure what gives?

    Boiling the potatoes and then letting them dry out in the pan for a minute removes a lot of the excess moisture. They should be no where near gooey even at that point. Did you happen to make any other additions?

Who Is the Greatest?

Selfish ambition is a sin that always seems to be “crouching at the door” (Genesis 4:7). It contaminates our motives for doing just about anything. It shows up even in the most holy moments, like it did for Jesus’ disciples in Luke’s account1 of the Last Supper. But Jesus aims to set us all free2 from the suicidal slavery of self-worship.

Jesus’ final meal before the cross was perhaps the most ironic time for the Twelve to debate over which of them was the greatest.

The greatest human being who would ever walk the earth, the Founder and Perfecter of their faith3, was reclining at the table with them. He was the only one in the room without sin.4 He was the only one there who always did what was pleasing to the Father.5

This Person had just led the Twelve through the last Passover meal before his death—the death that would be the propitiating sacrifice for their sins.6 And he had just instituted the new Passover meal, which they and all future disciples were to observe regularly until he returned so that they would always remember that their sins were forgiven only through the substitutionary, atoning death of the true Passover Lamb.7

This was no time for any disciple to assert his own greatness—except maybe the greatness of his sin.

Even more ironic is what ignited the debate.

Jesus had just revealed that one of them that very night would willingly participate in the most spectacular sin8 in history: the slaughter of the Son of God. And yet somehow the introspection9 and inquiry that followed ended up in a competition over who was greatest.

It was a moment that displayed the terrifying blinding power of pride in sinful people. How quickly the Sun of Righteousness10 can be eclipsed by the moon of selfish ambition.

Jesus was about to die for their sins. And he was about to be betrayed to that death by one of them. Their response to such horror and glory should have been mourning, repentance, and worship. But instead each disciple was suddenly and absurdly preoccupied with his own place of prominence in God’s plan of salvation.

But what grace Jesus displayed in this moment. This sin too would be paid in full. Therefore, he did not condemn his disciples for thinking far too highly of themselves11 at the worst possible time.

Instead, he mercifully drew their gaze off of themselves and back to him:

The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (Luke 22:25-26)

The secret to freedom from slavery to selfish ambition was to keep looking to Jesus. Looking at, comparing, and competing with one another would only lead to a black hole of demonic evil.12 But to look to Jesus would remind them of the grace they had received and that loving each other as he had loved them13 would fill them full of joy.14

Aren’t you thankful that the Lord moved Luke to include this account of the disciples’ sin? Because isn’t the same sin frequently exposed in our hearts too, even in the most sacred moments?

We will wage war against selfish ambition as long as we live in this fallen state, because it’s right at the core of our fallen nature—our sinful desire to be like God.15 We shouldn’t be shocked when we see it in ourselves, and like Jesus we should be patient when we see it in others. The key to walking in freedom is helping each other get our eyes off ourselves and back on to Jesus.

Because our souls are designed to be satisfied with his glory, not our own.

Into Wine: New Book by Olivier Magny Explores Terroirism, Soil Health and More

This is a guest post by French sommelier Olivier Magny, author of the new book, Into Wine: An Invitation to Pleasure

When you like wine, and start to learn more about it, you quickly realize that the soil makes a difference. Studying how vineyards were farmed has helped me grasp that the importance of the soil actually goes far beyond wine, and that the implications of mistreating it are also much more far-reaching that we think.

Under the combined effects of chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, deep plowing and tractors, we’ve managed to eradicate most of the life of our soils. Even though it may come across as unchanged on the surface, the truth is that for the most part, our soil has now turned to dirt.

After a few decades of mining our soils instead of farming them, we have destroyed them[1]. Messing with the soil is a gigantic mistake—and Nature has already started to get back at us for it.

Atwell provides selfless example for community

July 13, 2006

During a discussion at last week's De Soto City Council meeting concerning the city's recycling dumpster at Morse's Market, Councilman Ted Morse said the person who made the bin work was Max Atwell. Atwell, he said, cleans up the overflow mess and carts off the items people persist on leaving that are classified as hazardous waste or are otherwise unsuitable for the bin.

Much good and bad in the community is embodied in that comment. As Morse acknowledged, it's human nature that some people will carelessly or willfully take advantage of the unattended bin to leave unsuitable items. On the other hand, De Soto is fortunate to have individuals like Atwell who share enough devotion to the community and their goodwill to its residents to cleanup their messes.

It is not Atwell's sole service to the community. His most public role was that as a past member of the De Soto USD 232 Board of Education (he's still ready to argue the merits of year-around school if asked). But as with the recycling bin, which Atwell attends because of his interest in the Rotary Club's newspaper recycling bin that sits next to it, most of Atwell's volunteerism is of the low-profile but vital grunt work. Atwell is a regular Catch-A-Ride program volunteer, once recognized for his contribution to that Johnson County program that helps keep seniors in their homes by providing them with rides to doctor's appointments and other vital destinations.

Atwell is also serving another year as chairman of the De Soto Days Festival Committee. He was first recruited -- he might say roped -- into that position five years ago from making himself indispensable as a volunteer on the committee. Since then, he has served as chairman or co-chairman every year, during which he remained front and center among the small group of volunteers who yearly work to make that community event a success.

No community service should be dismissed, but we've known those whose volunteerism was in no small part motivated by publicity. Other than his work with De Soto Days, which puts him in the public eye, we only know of Atwell's activities because others tell us of them. Anyone acquainted with Atwell knows him to be a strong advocate of causes but shy of self promotion.

So in giving Atwell well-deserved thanks, we encourage others in the community to follow his example. Or better yet, follow his example by volunteering with the De Soto Days Festival, Catch-A-Ride or any other worthy programs.

Japan gets a limited-edition Persona Q 3DS XL

11:15 AM on 03.14.2014 // Dale North

Here's what it looks like

I almost bought a Japanese 3DS last week while in Kyoto for BitSummit. That pretty mint/white one. But now that I've seen the design of the limited-edition Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, I'm glad I waited.

To be honest, I like the rear of the unit more than I like the front. But I'm a massive fan of the franchise, so I have to have it anyway.

GameWatch says that this "Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Velvet Model" 3DS XL will go on sale in Japan on June 5, and will come bundled with the game and a soundtrack CD, priced at 25,380 yen, or about $250.

It looks beary nice.
