Our solo tomato plant yielded about 20 ripe Romas this week, so I took the opportunity to slowly roast them with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic cloves, fresh thyme sprigs, and salt and freshly ground pepper. I used most of them last night in Capellini Pomodoro, and the rest in this Deconstructed BLT and Eggs salad.
When chefs in France got caught up in the 'deconstructed' craze, Dorie decided to deconstruct a BLT sandwich, and then take it a step further by 'saladizing' it. At the last minute, she added a couple hard-boiled eggs and dab of mayonnaise, to make it a more substantial lunch.
Dorie uses a combination of chopped, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes and halved, cherry or grape tomatoes. I used the rest of my Simple Slow Roasted Tomatoes, the last two ripe Romas from the garden, and an heirloom yellow tomato.
In addition to the tomatoes, Dorie tosses arugula in a simple vinaigrette of red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and adds coarsely chopped bacon, cubes of country-style bread sauteed in the rendered bacon fat until golden, halved hard-boiled eggs, and a dab of mayonnaise. I used uncured pepper bacon, cubed ciabatta rolls to make the croutons, and soft-boiled eggs. I omitted the mayo.
This is another exceptional salad to add to the collection!
French Fridays with Dorie is an online cooking group, dedicated to Dorie Greenspan's book Around My French Table. As members of the group, we have purchased the cookbook and cook along as much as we can. There is a new recipe each week, and we post about that recipe on Friday. We are asked to refrain from posting the actual recipes on our blog. The book is filled with stunning photography, and personal stories about each recipe, which makes it that much more intriguing. I highly recommend adding it to your cookbook collection if you haven't already!

namoo on the park
namoo {나무} translates to tree in korean.
namoo also happens to brand a korean dessert cafe and bistro.
namoo also happens to brand a korean dessert cafe and bistro.
quite an intriguing name for a korean restaurant, if you asked me. located in publika, mont kiara, the minds behind this restaurant explained that tree conveys the feelings of warmth, comfort and naturalness.
the creators of this restaurant definitely enlivened those feelings through their cozy decor. they hit the right chords (with me, at least) when they picked the concept of vintage flair nestled within modern contemporary - a apt representation of their korean food approach.
|the front as you enter the entrance through the mall
there is also outdoor dining available which also houses live performances in the evenings occasionally.
one cool thing that i don't see at a lot restaurants is the hook under the table to accommodate bags, which is rather convenient. i didn't even notice until i looked at the 'note' printed on the napkin.
i was curious to see what kind of twists they would bring to the "authentic" korean classics so {wy} and i ordered a noodle and rice dish to give a bit of a variety.
i was curious to see what kind of twists they would bring to the "authentic" korean classics so {wy} and i ordered a noodle and rice dish to give a bit of a variety.
rice :: garlic bulgogi rice | korean marinated beef and fried garlic served on top of rice (rm19.90)
i was thrilled when they served a small serving of kimchi as a side. the soy marinated beef had the usual suspects that gave it its savory, very subtle hint of sweetness but overall, it was mediocre. the sliced onions could have used a but more caramelization.
the beef was moist but the dish was lacking something that i can't quite pinpoint - the overall dish was almost monotonous. however, the saving grace was when i had bites with the caramelized garlic that gave another flavor dimension to each bite which perhaps was their twist to the classic.
oh and the kimchi? it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best that i've had. tart, slightly spicy and fermented. hehe.
noodles :: spicy seafood ramen | korean ramen noodles with prawn, mussel, seaweed and hard boiled egg in our chef's special soup (rm18.90)
at first sniff, the aroma reminded me of the korean instant noodles, shin ramyun that i love.. the soup submersed the treasures that were soon revealed with a scoop of a pair of chopsticks.
the noodles were cooked to perfection with the right amount of chew. the seafood included a generous portion of two large shrimp and two mussels which were fresh and cooked just enough to enhance its natural sweetness. the flavor of the soup was actually akin to shin ramyun that i am very much familiar with - warm in a comforting manner, salty (in a good way) and mildly spicy with the flavor of seafood highlighted in the clarity and fullness of the soup. i think {wy} and i agreed that this was the better of the two entrees we had.
did it cross the line into modern interpretation of a classic? not quite.
{wy} and i thought for a moment whether to end the meal with a dessert here or somewhere else. our resolves were weakened at the selections of dessert that sounded tempting.
korean specialty dessert {warm} :: hottuk pancake | your choice of berries, banana or chocolate peanut butter (rm12.90)
we were in the mood for some decadence and satisfaction so we decided to go for the chocolate peanut butter. i was actually excited to try their updated version featuring one of the popular and favorite street food snacks in south korea, the korean pancake. the traditional rendition of hotteok (namoo calls it hottuk) usually filled with brown sugar, peanuts and cinnamon.
the huge disc of dough was slathered generously with peanut butter coupled with finishes of chocolate syrup and finally topped with assorted nuts. the hotteok on its own was cripsy shell encasing the warm, soft but at the same time chewy and inching a lil bit into the realm of being too sweet. the peanuts contributed a textural difference while the cinnamon was a strong feature, which oddly went well with the peanut butter and the dark chocolate syrup.
however, the amount of the peanut butter was too much that it drowned the potential awesomeness from the combination of the different flavor profiles into one. in fact, all i could really remember was the flavors of peanut butter and cinnamon.
the dessert also came with vanilla ice cream, which surprisingly managed to mellow all the loudness that was happening with the peanut butter, chocolate syrup and the cinnamon sugar. don't get me wrong, i love the pop of the flavors but i'd appreciate a lil restrain to strike the right balance. the ice cream is key to complete and balance the dish, and i could say that it was almost the hero of the dessert that managed to save the day.
was their interpretation managed bring this dessert "out of the box" of norm? i'd say so.
when i asked my friends about the other dishes here at namoo, two of them have tried what people usually flock to the restaurant for - the rice burger where the patty is sandwiched in between rice "buns". both of them responded with an unsatisfactory due to the dryness of the burger overall. but general consensus was that sweet potato cake was not to be missed and i should probably heed that advise if i returned to namoo for a second time.
namoo had a couple of hits and misses but with some finesse in execution could lead it in the right direction. unlike my other korean food experiences thus far, namoo openly celebrates the modern flair they bring to the classic favorites - some in a more obvious way than others, which i had fun tasting what these differences could give to tradition that has been tested and adored over generations.

Corn and wheat finished strong while beans finished slightly lower.
Coming into the day beans were sharply lower from the overnight markets after rumors of an investigation regarding illegal loans for soybean and rubber speculation in China. The rumors were denied by China.
The markets held strong support from sale announcements as well as from stronger outside markets after Jobless claims fell more than expected today. Today was also the last day to position before tomorrow's Supply and Demand Report. The USDA announced the sale of 60,000 MT's of US Soyoil to China this morning. They also announced the sale of 220,000 MT's of US Hard Red Wheat to unknown destinations. Wheat basically gained everything it lost yesterday and then some.
Tomorrow's USDA Supply and Demand report will be out at 7:30 am. We will release the numbers in tomorrow morning's letter. We have been talking about the emails floating around the marketplace of lower than expected corn yields. The market is obviously expecting to see lower corn/soybean production estimates (see report estimates below.) The average guess for corn yield is expected to drop from the August USDA estimate of 165 to 163.1. Soybean yield is expected to drop from the August USDA estimate of 44 down to 43.8. With the market generally one-sided bullish, this could be a "buy the rumor - sell the fact" type of situation. Even though we are bullish corn, we have already had a large move ahead of a big report. With record fund long positions, there is considerable risk of the price dropping if the funds start to liquidate. We will have to wait and see what tomorrow's report brings and how the market reacts.

from C Magazine (US) / by Deborah Schoeneman
On an unusually drizzly morning in Hollywood, the jaded hostess at Chateau Marmont knew someone was waiting for a reporter on the otherwise empty back patio, but no, she had not seen French actress Marion Cotillard. Turns out that this someone was Cotillard, incognito, in a fedora. She started wearing hats after her 2007 Oscar-winning role as singer Édith Piaf in La Vie En Rose because she had to shave her eyebrows and part of her head to fully portray the tortured chanteuse. Plus, the intense role just exhausted her. "I looked like shit," she says, laughing.
It seems unlikely that Cotillard could look anything but flawless. The star — who's wearing red studded Chloé boots, a Dior watch, a white knit sweater and a blue print Isabel Marant skirt — appears even more ethereal in real life than she does on the big screen. Her makeup-free, smooth skin looks far younger than her 37-year-old contemporaries. She swears plastic surgery scares her, and no surgeon is that good.
Cotillard had just returned from the film festival in Telluride and was heading to the one in Toronto in a few hours to promote Rust and Bone, her new French film, out this month. "I'm taking some time off, even though it doesn't show right now," says Cotillard. "You need to go back to your own life sometimes, to get inspired again."
In the movie, she plays a killer whale trainer at an Antibes water park who suffers a horrible accident that costs her both legs. "I read the script and thought it was one of the most beautiful love stories," she says. "I'm attracted to very deep characters and complexity that leads you to discover different levels of humanity."
Rust and Bone co-writer and director Jacques Audiard agrees. "What Marion did in La Vie En Rose really stuck with me," he says. "I knew that one day or another I would go to her…

The impending arrival of BlackBerry 10 has led to plenty of leaks and rumors about what's on the horizon for RIM. Boy Genius Report has managed to snag a couple photos of what the site claims is the final golden master of BlackBerry 10 running on a BlackBerry Z10 handset, as well as a heap of photos of the phone's operating system, including a walkthrough of the gestures tutorial. The photos also feature a look at RIM's voice recognition engine, the handset's NFC capabilities, and a closer look at the BlackBerry Hub, which gives users a glimpse at all of their e-mail accounts, messages, and social networking notifications.
Earlier this month, we went hands-on with RIM's new mobile operating system at CES 2013. BlackBerry 10 features a mostly gesture-based interface and a virtual keyboard that is aesthetically fashioned after the company's iconic keyboard hardware.
There have been rumors that RIM may offer the BlackBerry Z10 handset for less than the anticipated $199 price point.
Be sure to check back with Ars on January 30 for our own coverage of the official BlackBerry 10 event.

Coconut Loaf Cake
Besides the above, this cake turned out to be everything I expected it to be. I can confirm it is very addictive and popular, with hubby having finished his third slice of the day after his evening meal. This recipe is well worth trying and if you follow my adaptations, included in the recipe below, it should turn out just fine!
Coconut Loaf Cake
Serves 8-10
For the cake:
225g butter, softened
225g caster sugar
2 large eggs
225g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
60g desiccated coconut
3 tbsp milk
For the topping:
60g raspberry jam
30g desiccated coconut, toasted
Preheat the oven to 180oC/fan oven 160oC/Gas mark 4. Butter and flour a 2lb loaf tin.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add to the egg mixture along with the coconut. Beat for a few seconds to combine. Add the milk and mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the tin and bake for 45-50 (mine needed 70) minutes, until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes or so before turning onto a rack to cool.
Once the cake is fully cool, spread the jam onto the top and cover in the toasted coconut.

Maria, thank goodness you tried this recipe out first as the mistakes in the book would have flumexed me. I gave it a go last night and it is lovely. Cooking time was a bit frightening as it really was so long but well worth the effort. My edges are a bit crisp but I will try and make this again in a couple of days to see if I can get it just right. Thanks so much for all your help with my plight for making cakes for an event I have coming up. Hope that you feeling a bit better now Tracey x

Hi Paula
So glad the cake turned out great and your family loved it. I am not very confident with pastry and don't make many tarts but I will see if I can find a nice recipe and try it out.
- 17 February 2012 at 20:37
I'm wondering if freshly grated coconut could be used in place of the desiccated one. About to try this recipe and fresh coconut is what I have on hand.
- 19 March 2012 at 00:43
- Maria♥ said...
Hi Nicole
You can only try but I'm thinking using freshly grated will make the cake very moist and damp.
- 19 March 2012 at 12:09
Lovely cake, mine took the full 70 minutes...will definitely bake again
- 13 October 2012 at 19:57
Hi can you tell me the amount you need to make a bigger cake is it just the mater of doubling up on all the ingredients thanks xx
- 21 November 2013 at 11:24
- Maria♥ said...
Yes just double the amounts.
- 21 November 2013 at 12:36
Just picked up your blog when looking for a recipe for old fashioned coconut cake - it turned out really well but I mixed two tablespoons of desiccated coconut and caster sugar together and put it on top of the cake half way through cooking to make a really crunchy topping x

This course will give you the tools you need to take on the plans you've got in mind and plot out concrete actions. It often happens that someone will have very good ideas or proposals on a plan that do not pan out. Through this course and the HR action plan you will build, you will be able to define the objectives and goals you need to reinforce your plans and initiatives and get them on the right track.
SWOT Matrix and Action Plan:
The company action plan is a recent tool that allows the maker to identify the current status of the company and which direction they want to take it in. Through techniques like the SWOT matrix we can identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of a company, and use that information to define an action plan focused on attaining the objectives we've set out, using a realistic perspective that accounts for the internal and external factors that affect a company. As such, the proposal entails planning concrete actions that are set in the context of the company's current situation with the aim of meeting the expectations set out from the start.
The main skills you will learn are:
- Implement the SWOT technique
- Study in depth each field and level in this matrix to learn to proper way to go about it.
- Learn how to make a practical reading of each field of the matrix
- Make a company action plan based on the results of applying the SWOT.
- You will be able to conduct and guide the elements that appear in the SWOT towards an effective action plan applicable to the work team and to the virtual projects.

But in all honesty, even accounting for that, there's very little that'd correspond to active countermeasures in DZC, Something like an Arrow IV wouldn't get nearly the range that it does in Battletech.
I thought the Phantom Mech ability was quietly killed off after 2nd ed Mechwarrior? From what I've read the current crop of designers have declared no magic or psychic powers were involved, and have chalked it up to unreliable narrators.
(Probably helps that in canon there were only 3 Mechwarriors who ever showed that ability, and two of them died early on).
I mentioned the phantom mech skill mainly to point out they have computer targeting assist, and will overide mark one eyeballs.
The early edition blurb certaintly was vague on the point, In theory you are correct with respect the state of Technology, and in the 'Warrior' series of books, it does mention that many of the newly produced mechs were not as technically good as the inherited mechs dating back to the Star League.
But for that matter it does not actually say exactly what the active counter measures are in Dropzone, they are there, but sort of glosses over what they are, which is how it was intially mentioned in BT.
Really how they match up will depend on the ground scale used, and then coverting each to it.
in basic BT using each hex at 30 (not sure if yard or metres) puts a large laser effective range at 3025 at 450 yards/metres. This is based on the ability to target a moving mech, longer ranges being avail to better gunners.
LRMs go out to 600 yards.
Yup short,
But does it give a ground scale for dz?
Are we assuming longer ranges?
plus above in most of the Urban environments we play in DZ, would be more than adequate, look at effective ranges in WW2 in Europe, if fact most modern combat rifles are only sited to 400 yards, as that was all was believed was needed in continental europe, and in fact caused them to bring out Marksmens rifles in Afghanistan.
I believe the standard assumption at this point is that it's a point defense system or reactive armor. There was a thread a couple of years ago where the various options were discussed.
The theory does explain why Active Countermeasures have no effect on energy weapons (the Scimitar's infinite range laser for example).
re: Phantom Mech: Ah, I misunderstood you, I've only dabbled in the Battletech community but my understanding was that it was a...contentious ability.
re: Range: This is where it'd get sticky. Could probably transfer over ranges directly for uncountered range, it'd be the "what is the R(C) of LRMs?" question that'd cause the most trouble I think.

Like everyone else who orders new from Ford's website. You build your car, Ford sends it out to roughly 5 local dealerships in an area. From the start Joe Cotton Ford was very responsive, accommodating, not pushy, seem upfront and honest. Also gave me the most value for my trade. I dealt with Bob Driver. A real pleasure to work with. One of the top two car transactions I've had the pleasure to conduct in my auto buying career. Overall transaction was painless, timely, and not stressful. Would buy here again for sure.

I went to Joe Cotton Ford to buy a 2019 Ford Edge because I liked the way they treated me when I bought a new Mustang last year. They really do treat you right like no other dealer I've ever dealt with before. Salesman Jason Conn truly cares about the customer, finding the exact car I wanted through dealer trade. I used to dread car buying in the past from other dealerships but I don't at Cotton Ford.

They are always community minded, they know your name, they always smile when you come in, everyone is approachable. The many vehicles I have purchased there over the years have performed well, and Roman (my salesman) makes the buying experience so easy and pleasant.

I have been dealing with your dealership since 2014. This Ford Escape is my second vehicle that I have purchased from you. I have also done all my servicing through your dealership as well. Each and every time my experience with you has been excellent. This last time was a little more memorable because Larry Roncolli the sales person I have dealt with on both occasions recognized me while I was waiting for my wife to pick me and was nice enough to come and talk with me for about ten minutes. Actually, I was flattered that he recognized and that he would take the time to come and talk. Larry was also very helpful in each of my experiences and I made it a point to ask for him when I was going to make my second purchase. I also bought my wife a used 2017 Escape and she too loves her car and the experiences she has had during her servicing experiences. Thank you and I really do want everyone that reads this how great and fantastic my experience has been with your dealership. Thank You, Rick Mackert.

"Working with Larry was a very painless experience. I never felt forced to buy anything. He helped me to find the car with the exact options I wanted and didn't try selling me a car with different options just because it was on the lot. I got a very good price from the beginning and he was honest about everything. Highly recommended."

Dealer Rater - 5/5 Stars - I came into Ford for the first time looking to buy my first car. After attempts at other dealerships, I was disappointed in the salesmen and felt that I was not being taken-care of as a loyal customer. I stopped into Joe Cotton and had the best experience. Rich greeted me at the door, showed me the available cars in the price range and condition I was looking for, and gave specific details on the features in each vehicle. He took me out for a test drive and made the experience worthwhile with his expertise on the car's functions and Ford/Joe Cotton as a dealership overall. I was VERY impressed and have been recommending ever since. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thanks to Rich, I am driving a safe and reliable car that I love!

The Mojito framework lets you add features and extend functionality through addons, libraries, and middleware. This chapter discusses how to create extensions and where to place files in the Mojito framework.
In addition to the Action Context addons that Mojito provides, you can create your own addons to add functionality to controller actions.
Addons allows you to do the following:
An addon is simply a JavaScript file that contains a YUI module. You can create addons at the application and mojit level. Application-level addons are available to all mojits in the application, whereas, mojit-level addons are only available to its mojit.
The name of an addon should have the following syntax where {addon_namespace} is the namespace of the addon and {affinity} is server, common, or client.
Application-level addons should be placed in the following directory:
Mojit-level addons should be placed in the following directory:
To access addon methods and properties, you use the Action Context object (i.e., ac) and the addon namespace. For example, the namespace of the addon addons/ac/foo.common.js would be foo. Thus, to call the method save of the foo addon, you would use ac.foo.save.
See Using Your Addon for an example of how to call methods from the addon namespace.
The ActionContext object and ActionContext addons simulate the YUI Base and YUI Plugin infrastructure, so creating a new addon is similar to creating a new YUI Plugin.
The addon must do the following:
Optional: requires array to include other modules. The code snippet below shows the skeleton of an addon with the registered plugin name ('addon-ac-cheese'), the constructor (CheeseAcAddon) with its prototype property, and requires the mojito module.
// Register the plugin name (must be unique)
YUI.add('addon-ac-cheese', function(Y, NAME) {
// Constructor for addon
function CheeseAcAddon(command, adapter, ac) {
// The "command" is the Mojito internal details
// for the dispatch of the mojit instance.
// The "adapter" is the output adapter, containing
// the "done()", "error()", etc, methods.
// The "ac" is the ActionContext object to which
// this addon is about to be attached.
// Use the prototype property to add
// methods and other properties
CheeseAcAddon.prototype = {
// Put methods and properties here
// Assign the constructor of the addon to a
// namespace of Y.mojito.addons.ac
Y.mojito.addons.ac.cheese = CheeseAcAddon;
// Optional: 'requires' array could include other
// YUI modules if needed.
}, '0.0.1', {requires: ['mojito']});
In the example addon cheese.common.js below, the YUI.add method registers the addon-ac-cheese plugin. The addon namespace is cheese, and the addon has the one method cheesify, which is added through the prototype property.
YUI.add('addon-ac-cheese', function(Y, NAME) {
function CheeseAcAddon(command, adapter, ac) {
// The "command" is the Mojito internal details
// for the dispatch of the mojit instance.
// The "adapter" is the output adapter, containing
// the "done()", "error()", etc, methods.
// The "ac" is the ActionContext object to which
// this addon is about to be attached.
CheeseAcAddon.prototype = {
// The "namespace" is where in the ActionContext
// the user can find this addon. The namespace
// must be the same as the first part of the addon file.
// Thus, this addon file must be named 'cheese'.{affinity}.js'
namespace: 'cheese',
cheesify: function(obj) {
var n;
if (Y.Lang.isString(obj)) {
return 'cheesy ' + obj;
for (n in obj) {
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(n)) {
obj[n] = this.cheesify(obj[n]);
return obj;
// If this addon depends on another, that can
// be specified here. Circular dependencies are not
// supported or automatically detected,
// so please be careful.
CheeseAcAddon.dependsOn = ['http'];
Y.mojito.addons.ac.cheese = CheeseAcAddon;
}, '0.0.1', {requires: ['mojito']});
The addon in Example Addon registered the plugin addon-ac-cheese and made its constructor available through the namespace cheese. This namespace must match the first part of the addon file name, so the addon file name is cheese.common.js.
Addons are not automatically added to the ActionContext, so to access an addon, your controller needs to add the YUI plugin name to the requires array. The YUI plugin name is the string passed to YUI.add in the addon. To invoke the addon methods, you use the Action Context object (ac) with the addon namespace: ac.cheese.{addon_method}
YUI.add('Foo', function(Y, NAME) {
Y.namespace('mojito.controllers')[NAME] = {
index: function(ac) {
// Use the namespace defined by the
// addon file name ('cheese') with
// the addon function 'cheesify'
var cheesy = ac.cheese.cheesify({
food: "nachos",
things: "jokes"
// To use your addon, add 'addon-ac-cheese' to your
// 'requires' array.
}, '0.0.1', {requires: [ 'mojito', 'addon-ac-cheese']});
Middleware is code that can handle (or modify) the HTTP request in the server. Because Mojito middleware is based on the HTTP middleware Connect, the code must follow the Connect API. Also, because each piece of middleware is a Node.js module, it should use module.exports to create a function to handle incoming requests.
To use middleware, the path to its code must be listed in the middleware array in application.json. The path can be marked as relative to the application by prefixing it with "./".
"settings": [ "master" ],
"middleware": [
"specs": {
"hello": {
"type": "HelloMojit"
We suggest that middleware be located in the directory {app_dir}/middleware/, but this is only a convention and not required. The name of the file is not important.
The simple example below of middleware intercepts an HTTP request and lowercases URLs containing the string "module_" before the URLs are received by the server.
module.exports = function (req, res, next) {
if (req.url.indexOf('module_') > -1) {
req.url = req.url.toLowerCase();
Mojito allows you to use YUI libraries, external libraries, or customized libraries. To use any library in Mojito, you need to specify the module in either the requires array in the controller for YUI libraries or by using the require method for Node.js modules.
YUI libraries can be made available at the application or the mojit level. Each file can only have one YUI.add statement. Other components, such as controllers, models, etc., needing the library should specify the YUI module name in the requires array.
The file name of a YUI module should have the following syntax where {yui_mod_name} is a unique YUI module name defined by the user and {affinity} is server, common, or client.
Application-level YUI modules should be placed in the following directory:
Mojit-level YUI modules should be placed in the following directory:
In the sections below, we provide an example YUI module and then show how to require and use that YUI module from a controller.
In the code example below, the create_id function becomes the constructor for the UID namespace. This will let you create an instance, and the prototype object then allows you to access the method log from that instance.
YUI.add('hello-uid', function(Y){
function create_id(){
var uid = Math.floor(Math.random()*10000000);
this.uid = uid;
create_id.prototype = {
log: function(user_name){
Y.log(user_name + "'s UID is " + '['+this.uid+']');
Y.namespace('mojito').UID = create_id;
In the example mojit controller below, the YUI module hello-uid is loaded because the module is in the requires array. The log method can then be called from an instance (i.e., uid) of the module.
YUI.add('HelloMojit', function(Y, NAME) {
Y.namespace('mojito.controllers')[NAME] = {
index: function(ac) {
var user_name = ac.params.getFromMerged("name") || "User";
var uid = new Y.mojito.UID();
ac.done('Hello World!');
}, '0.0.1', {requires: ['hello-uid']});
Non-YUI libraries can also be used at either the application or mojit level. Because Node.js and not Mojito will read the contents of the library files, you need to use the function require to include the library. Mojito will only confirm that the files exist.
Application-level libraries should be placed in the following directory:
Mojit-level libraries should be placed in the following directory:
A view engine is the piece of code that takes the data returned by a controller and applies it to a view. This is most often done by interpreting the view as a template. View engines in Mojito can be at either the application or mojit level. Application-level view engines are available to all mojits.
The view engine consists of an addon that we will refer to as the view engine addon to differentiate it from other addons. The view engine addon can include code that renders templates or use a rendering engine, such as `Embedded JavaScript (EJS) http://embeddedjs.com/>`_, to render templates. In the latter case, the view engine addon acts as an interface between the Mojito framework and the rendering engine.
In the following sections, we will be discussing how to create a view engine addon that relies on a rendering engine, not how to write code that renders templates.
The following list may help clarify the meaning of commonly used terms in this section.
The name of the addon should have the following syntax where {view_engine_name} is the view engine and {affinity} is server, common, or client.
The name of the template should have the following syntax where {view_engine_name} should be the same as the {view_engine_name} in the file name of the view engine addon.
Mojito does not require rendering engines to be in a specific location. The recommended practice is to use npm to install rendering engines into the node_modules directory or copy the rendering engine into the libs directory as shown below:
If you are using mojit-level view engine addons, the rendering engine should be at the mojit level as well, such as {mojit_dir}/libs/{rendering_engine}.
The view engine addon must have the following:
a YUI.add statement to register the addon. For example:
YUI.add('addons-viewengine-ejs', function(Y, NAME) {
// The addon name 'addons-viewengine-ejs' is registered by YUI.add
}, '0.1.0', {requires: []});
an object that is assigned to Y.mojito.addons.viewEngines.{view_engine_name} as seen below:
function EjsAdapter(viewId) {
this.viewId = viewId;
Y.namespace('mojito.addons.viewEngines').ejs = EjsAdapter;
a prototype of the object has the following two methods render and compiler as shown below:
EjsAdapter.prototype = {
render: function(data, mojitType, tmpl, adapter, meta, more) {
compiler: function(tmpl) {
Sends a rendered template as the first argument to the methods adapter.flush or adapter.done.
render(data, mojitType, tmpl, adapter, meta, more)
A naming convention associates a view engine and its templates. For example, the view engine {mojit_dir}/addons/view-engines/big_engine.server.js will be used to render the template {mojit_dir}/views/foo.big_engine.html. Having two templates that only differ by the view engine will cause an error because Mojito will not be able to decide which view engine to use (which to prioritize above the other) to render the template.
The following example is of the EJS view engine.
You install ejs locally with npm so that the EJS rendering engine is installed in the node_modules directory as seen below:
└── ejs
├── History.md
├── Makefile
├── Readme.md
├── benchmark.js
├── ejs.js
├── ejs.min.js
├── examples
├── index.js
├── lib
├── package.json
├── support
└── test
YUI.add('addons-viewengine-ejs', function(Y, NAME) {
var ejs = require('ejs'),
fs = require('fs');
function EjsAdapter(viewId) {
this.viewId = viewId;
EjsAdapter.prototype = {
render: function(data, mojitType, tmpl, adapter, meta, more) {
var me = this,
handleRender = function(output) {
output.addListener('data', function(c) {
adapter.flush(c, meta);
output.addListener('end', function() {
if (!more) {
adapter.done('', meta);
Y.log('Rendering template "' + tmpl + '"', 'mojito', NAME);
var result = ejs.render(this.compiler(tmpl),data);
compiler: function(tmpl) {
return fs.readFileSync(tmpl, 'utf8');
Y.namespace('mojito.addons.viewEngines').ejs = EjsAdapter;
}, '0.1.0', {requires: []});

Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo came out of retirement for this -- to finally win their gold Olympic medal.
The married Chinese couple won the pairs figure skating gold medal at the Vancouver Olympics Monday, just ahead of countrymen Pang Qing and Tong Jian.
It wasn't the best skate of their career, but it was good enough for gold -- and that was all that mattered.
Their score of 216.57 points was more than three points ahead of their teammates Pang and Tong. When Shen and Zhao finished their routine, Zhao knelt to the ice, burying his face in his hands while his wife patted his back. He pumped his fist several times while she beamed, her grin so bright it could light up the entire arena.
"It's been so many years," Zhao said, "to finally get this gold today is so exciting."
Aliona Savchenkoand Robin Szolkowyof Germany -- in second place after the short program -- dropped to the bronze medal after a flawed free skate.
"I think everyone knows we're a little disappointed," Szolkowy said. "Our performance tonight was not the one we wanted to show."
It is the first time since 1960 that a Russian or Soviet couple is not atop the Olympic podium, ending one of the longest winning streaks in sports. Even more surprisingly, the Russians are leaving empty-handed, with no medals of any color in the event.
Shen and Zhao, bronze medalists at the last two Olympic Games, retired in 2007. They got married, and lived the easy life of retirees, doing shows and appearances. But something was lacking -- that gold medal.
They returned this season and despite being 31 and 36, ancient in pairs skating, dominated everywhere they skated. And the Olympic competition was no different.
"So many years have been devoted to this dream," Zhao said.
Skating last, and knowing the couples who could steal their gold had made errors, they performed with the passion that has become their new trademark. The interpretation to "Adagio in G Minor" was mesmerizing, with their choreography perfectly in tune to their music.
"To get the figure skating gold and silver has been a hope for so long," Shen said. "Now it's been realized."
Shen and Zhao did have one mistake, and it was shocking -- she slipped down his back during one of their lifts, a move that is normally automatic for them. The crowd gasped, and a look of exasperation crossed her face.
But they recovered immediately, and finished the program with a beautiful carry lift that circled half of the ice.

Richard Tillotson has been a Peace Corps volunteer in Borneo, a playwright in New York, a copywriter in Hawaii, and is a relative of an English Lord, all of which helped him write Acts of God While on Vacation, a National Semi-Finalist for the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and named "Hawaii's best fiction book of 2011" by The Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

About Acts of God While on Vacation
ACTS OF GOD WHILE ON VACATION begins with a death threat received by a philandering general manager of a lavish Hawaii resort, jumps to an anthropologist researching headhunters in the jungles of Borneo, then to a demonic, scandal-mongering paparazzo in New York, and on to a gorgeous, party-loving English aristocrat in London. Alternately desperate and hilarious adventures draw them all to Waikiki, where their arrival coincides with an international conference on shamanism and a catastrophic, force-five hurricane. ACTS OF GOD WHILE ON VACATION was a National Semi-Finalist for the AMAZON BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL AWARD.
"A rollicking page-turner … This is Hawaii's best fiction book of 2011."
"A shamanically-skewed romp of brilliant insight and slapstick comedy"
"As entertaining as it is enlightening"
"Laugh-out-loud funny, while also ringing true"
"It's a comic novel with serious edges. Even more remarkable: It's one of the few fictions set in Hawaii that gets all the details right."

Lustre Bible Academy (Lustre, Montana, USA)
Lustre Bible Academy, located at Lustre, Montana, was an outgrowth of the Lustre Bible School, which was begun in 1928. In 1947-1948 a two-year high-school course was added. In 1948-1949 the Academy was accredited as a regular 4-year high school by the state of Montana. In addition to the high-school curriculum Bible subjects were also taught. In 1954 a new school building with gymnasium was erected. The girls' dormitory, two teacherages, and the old and new school buildings stand on a spacious campus.
The school was located in the heart of this Mennonite area, with the Mennonite Brethren Church of Lustre, the Bethel Mennonite Church, and the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church, all within two or three miles of the Academy, and drew its support completely from the interested local Mennonite constituency. Leo Goertzel was principal from about 1947 with three additional teachers on the staff. The enrollment for 1954-1955 was 40-45.
The school became known as Lustre Christian High School in 1978.

I decided to tweet because I thought the content would be interesting to quite a few of the people I know on Twitter. And it was. Some of the things that happened:
- @jrbtrip found out what an old colleague was up to
- @hadleybeeman and I had a discussion about whether patients had the right to not engage in partnership with their GP in their care
- @mrhyde found out about some research on how people who are obese access information on the internet.
- @vmontori who was a co-author of some work that my colleague presented was kept up to date although he was still on the other side of the Atlantic.
- @casesnetwork kept up to date with Brian Huritz's lecture.
I do seem to have been the only person tweeting from COMET 09, but I predict that come COMET 10 in Boston there will be a few more. This was not about providing a backchannel to the conference, but simply about bringing the contents of interesting dialogues to a wider audience. So if you are listening to someone stimulating, think about tweeting. The chances are that someone you know will be glad that you have made the effort to share.

Language examinations are given twice each semester, usually at the end of the fourth week, and then about a week or two before the end of the semester. Students are expected to take the language exams each semester until they complete the language requirement(s) for their degree.
Language Examination: The Fall Language Examinations will be Tuesday, September 15, 2020 and Thursday December 3, 2020. The Spring Language Examinations will be Wednesday February 19, 2021 and Wednesday, May 5, 2021 beginning at 10 am. Students must sign up at least two weeks in advance. Ethnomusicology students and any student taking the examination in a language other than French or German must sign up at least a month in advance. The exams will be administered by Professors Henson and Nichols. Further information about signup, including contact information, will be forthcoming.
DMA students --both composition and performance--must pass one language exam.
PhD. students must take one language exam before the end of their first semester in the program, and the second language before the end of their third semester in the program. Students who have not passed at least one language examination will not be permitted to take the First Examination, Parts A-B.
Students pursuing a Ph.D. must demonstrate a reading and pronunciation knowledge of two foreign languages, normally French and German. For D.M.A Composition and Performance students the requirement is one language. Substitutions may be approved, or additions appropriate to the student's area of interest may be required by the Executive Officer or the Deputy Executive Officer in the student's area, whose advice should be sought early in the first semester of the student's work in the program.
Students who choose to do a dissertation in an area where knowledge of a particular language other than the "customary" ones is necessary--for example, Latin for any number of topics in the Middle Ages/Renaissance, or Provençal for a study of the troubadours, or whatever language is necessary for an ethnomusicological study of a specific area of the world--will be asked (over and above the regular language examinations) to demonstrate competence (even if informally) in that language. Download sample exams here.
The language examination lasts two hours. Students are asked to translate--a dictionary may be used--a passage concerning some aspect of music into good, idiomatic English. In addition, there is a brief pronunciation test in which students are asked to read aloud a few sentences from the passage being translated. The criterion here is not the ability to pass oneself off as a native speaker of the language; rather it is to be able to get out a sentence or two in a manner that is comprehensible and would not draw snickers were you to include the passage in a paper delivered at a scholarly conference.
Grading on the language exam is PASS/FAIL. The criterion for passing can best be stated as follows: the student must demonstrate that he/she can function in the scholarly literature of the language, and do so with some facility. Note that "function" implies the ability to do more than simply "understand" the passage; it implies the ability to produce a translation that is faithful to the original and, at the same time, makes good sense in English.
Students who must learn a language from scratch are strongly advised to take a course in that language that is specifically geared to the needs of graduate students in the humanities. Do not even consider sitting in on an undergraduate course (you simply do not have the time to sit around practicing "Guten Morgen Herr Mozart. . ."

Former President George H.W. Bush is currently in the intensive care unit where his doctors have prescribed him a liquid-only diet. NBC's Natalie Morales reports.
Updated at 7:08 p.m. ET: Former President George H.W. Bush was battling an elevated fever Wednesday and was in "guarded condition" in a hospital intensive care unit, a family spokesman said.
"The President is alert and conversing with medical staff, and is surrounded by family," said a statement from family spokesman Jim McGrath. Bush, 88, was moved to the intensive care unit at The Methodist Hospital at the Texas Medical Center in Houston on Sunday, McGrath said.
Bush has been in the hospital since Nov. 29 for treatment of complications related to bronchitis. After initial expectations that he would be hospitalized for only a few days proved to be wrong, doctors said through a hospital statement on Dec. 13 that they expected Bush would "be able to celebrate Christmas at home."
But the 41st president remained at The Methodist Hospital -- where he was visited on Christmas by his wife, Barbara, his son, Neil, Neil's wife, and his grandson, Pierce -- all of whom brought him a meal of Chinese food for Christmas dinner, The Houston Chronicle reported.
He also received gifts, emails, and telephone calls from family members and close friends, NBC's Janet Shamlian reported.
On Wednesday, McGrath told NBC News that the former president's fever was elevated from the previous day, although he said that he did not know by how much. Earlier, McCrath had said that doctors saw a "slight improvement" in Bush's condition that morning.
McGrath said that Dorothy Bush, his daughter, visited Wednesday, and George W. Bush, the 43rd president, would be visiting soon.
Bronchitis is a common condition in which the bronchial tubes in the lungs become inflamed and produce mucus, which creates the need to cough, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can turn serious in people with weak immune systems, including children and the elderly. Symptoms such as chest pain, weakness and coughing typically last two weeks, but can linger for as long as two months.
In the weeks since he was admitted, Bush has had a low-grade fever, but doctors have said they are "cautiously optimistic" he will recover, Shamlian reported.
George Kovacik, a hospital spokesman, said in a statement earlier this week that Bush was in stable condition.
"His doctors feel he should build up his energy before going home. They remain optimistic about his full recovery and are being extra cautious with his care," the statement said.

Leader of an American political dynasty, George Bush's influence was felt beyond his terms as president and vice president. Take a look back at his life and career.
Bush was elected president of the United States in 1988, the capstone of a long career of public service.
He was a Texas Republican member of the House of Representatives in the 1960s and 1970s and head of the CIA in 1976-1977. The organization's headquarters in Langley, Va., was later renamed the "George Bush Center for Intelligence."
Bush lost his first bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. presidency in 1980, at which time Ronald Reagan chose him to be his running mate. He went on to serve two terms as Reagan's vice president before winning the presidency. He was defeated for re-election in 1992 by Bill Clinton.
In late 2004, Bush teamed up with Clinton to raise money for the victims of the Asian tsunami. That effort was so successful, the two former presidents did the same for Katrina victims in 2005.
President George H.W. Bush remains in the hospital. NBC News' Janet Shamlian reports.
