Beef Tenderloin:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat an oven proof skillet over medium high. Season the tenderloins well with salt and pepper (don't be shy with the pepper).
Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat. Add the butter and push it around to melt it and combine it with the olive oil. Add the beef and sear it until it's browned on all sides. This should take about 8 minutes total.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the meat to an internal temperature of about 125 degrees F for medium rare. This will take just under a half hour.
Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 5 or 10 minutes.
Mushroom Ragout:
Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium high, then add the mushrooms and increase the temperature to high. Permit the mushrooms to cook undisturbed until they brown.
Shake the pan to turn them over, then add the next two tablespoons of butter along the sides of the pan. Now continue to cook and stir until nicely browned, for about five minutes. Add the shallots and cook for about two minutes, or until softened. Season with salt and pepper and add the thyme.
Take the skillet off the heat and add the wine. Return the pan to the heat and stir, scraping up the brown bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
Drizzle the mushroom ragout over the beef tenderloins and serve with a full-bodied, spicy red wine, like Zinfandel or Syrah.

Father Linh Nguyen, a priest since 2000, will take on the role of pastor at St. Bernadette's.
Father Linh Nguyen has had the pleasure of working with 10 pastors in the past decade.
On Saturday, he joined their ranks.
Nguyen, 38, is the first Vietnamese pastor in the Archdiocese of Boston.
"It is very special," he said. "It's historic. I'm glad to be part of the history of the Archdiocese. It's an honor."
But the honor also is a challenge, Nguyen said.
"Now I'm the face of the Vietnamese group," he said.
"I'm sure I still have a lot to learn," Nguyen said. "I'm here to serve, (to) listen to people and their needs."
Nguyen, a priest since 2000, will take on the role of pastor at St. Bernadette's.
He follows in the footsteps of Father Ed Doughty, who left the parish in July after six years as pastor.
"His experience, his passion for parish life and his desire to serve the people of St. Bernadette's offer much promise as he begins this new and exciting chapter in his ministry to the Catholic faithful," the Very Rev. Thomas Foley, Episcopal Vicar for Parish Life and Leadership for the Archdiocese, said in a statement.
The Archdiocese of Boston has eight Vietnamese Catholic communities with approximately 3,000 Vietnamese Catholics participating, said Terrance Donilon, spokesperson for the Archdiocese.
"We are serious Catholics," Nguyen said of the Vietnamese population. "We're like the new Irish. (We bring) a different kind of enthusiasm."
Since being ordained at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Linh been a Parochial Vicar, spending five years at Immaculate Conception in Weymouth; a year at St. Mary-Catherine of Siena, in Charlestown; and two years at St. Joseph in Holbrook, before coming to St. Bernadette's in 2006.
"We have a lot of potential," Nguyen said of St. Bernadette's.
He pointed to the fact that parishioners speak 23 languages as what makes St. Bernadette's so beautiful and unique.
"That's what the future of the Church is going to be," he said.
While he does not anticipate making any changes to parish operations, Nguyen did say he hopes to provide more activities and programming for the parish's youth and married couples.
"Those are some areas I look forward to promoting spirituality," he said.
Nguyen also is here to help.
"People are desperately in need of a spiritual leader. I think they hunger for someone to help them and show them the way," he said. "I'm here to give them hand."

A 16-year-old boy was one of three people killed in shootings Sunday on the North, West and South sides of the city.
At least six other people were injured in shootings across the city that continued into this morning.
The most recent of the three fatal shootings happened about 11 p.m. Sunday in the West Side's Lawndale neighborhood.
Two shooters opened fire on a man and a woman sitting in a vehicle in the 4000 block of West Cullerton Street, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said, citing preliminary information.
The man, who was 35 years old, died at Mount Sinai Hospital after being shot in the back, according to police. The Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed it was notified of the death.
The man's name has not been released pending notification of family.
The 37-year-old woman sitting with the man was also shot in the back, according to police. She was taken to Sinai, where she was listed in serious condition.
Earlier, in the Rogers Park neighborhood, a 22-year-old man was shot in the head at 3:43 p.m. in the 1600 block of West Jonquil Terrace, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.
First responders found the man unresponsive on the sidewalk, police said. He died on the scene.
Following the shooting, a crowd gathered along Howard Street, in front of the Willye B. White Park, where the man's body lay under a white sheet, just east of the park fieldhouse. A small group held an impromptu prayer vigil for the man, whom a few in the crowd knew.
"There's too many killings going on right now, man," said a man who led the prayer vigil and identified himself only as J.W. "We need to stop this, man, we need to stop it."
As police investigated, groups around the crime scene grew, until police expanded the area cordoned off with police tape and a police sergeant retrieved a rifle from his squad car trunk in case of trouble. It appeared fights almost broke out on the edge of the crime scene, but the crowds calmed somewhat when police expanded the taped-off area.
Earlier, in the city's South Deering community on the Far South Side, a 16-year-old boy and a 28-year-old man were shot about 2:50 p.m. in the 10500 block of South Oglesby Avenue, police said.
The boy was found on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds to the back, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead at 3:39 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
The 28-year-old man was found in the back seat of a vehicle with a gunshot wound to the hand, according to police. He was treated and released from Advocate Trinity Hospital.
About 12:45 a.m. Monday morning, a 19-year-old man was shot and seriously injured in the 8300 block of South Carpenter Street in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized.
Shortly after, about 1 a.m., a 27-year-old arrived at St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center after being shot in the cheek in the 5600 block South Shields Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood, police said. He was later transferred to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, and his condition had been stabilized, police said.
Just before 4 a.m., a 46-year-old man was shot in the 400 block of West 60th Street, police said. The man was sitting in a car in a vacant lot when people pulled up in a vehicle and opened fire, police said.
The man was taken to Stroger, where his condition was stabilized.
Earlier, about 7 p.m. a 33-year-old man was shot in the leg Sunday evening in the 5000 block of North Kenmore Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side. He was taken to Weiss Memorial Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

Roman Bioarchaeology Carnival XXXIV
Some skeletons for your Halloween... This month, we've got quality over quantity (that is, really interesting news, but not much of it).
New Finds
New Finds
- 2 October - Roman Skulls Unearthed Deep Beneath London (via CNN). The big news this month comes from the ongoing Crossrail Project, which previously came across a 16th century Bedlam cemetery. As archaeologists dug deeper, they found at least 20 Roman-era skulls. Although some want them to be remains of Boudicca's slaughtered Romans, they are likely secondary deposition, washed out of a Roman cemetery somewhere upstream. More pictures can be seen at the BBC and at The Independent.
|Roman skull unearthed in Crossrail Project. (via BBC)
- 21 October - Oops! Etruscan Warrior Prince Really a Princess (via Discovery News). The other ongoing saga this month involves a previously unopened Etruscan tomb that revealed two individuals (one skeletonized, the other cremated) and a ton of grave goods, including a spear. Archaeologists originally attributed the spear to the skeletonized remains and called it a "prince," but it seems that individual was female, whereas the cremated individual was male. There are additional pictures of the grave goods at Discovery News. More important, though, is the issue of assigning sex and/or gender to skeletal remains based on grave goods. For more on the hopelessly gendered assumption that spear = man (and then sewing box = woman; see, for example, this Italian story about a "noble seamstress" and this headline from Discovery News), see Rosemary Joyce's important blog post. Honestly, I'm just going to wait for the proper osteological report before drawing conclusions. Both skeletons seem to have been evaluated in the field for age and sex, but there hasn't been an official report yet.
|Etruscan Prince(ss)? (via Discovery News)
- 25 October - Roman Child's Grave Unearthed in Countryside near Hinckley (via The Hinckley Times). This find is particularly interesting because it's a lead casket -- that's what led metal detectorists to find it, actually. As far as I can tell, though, the assumption that it's a child comes from the size of the sarcophagus. And I have no idea why people are assuming it's a Christian burial. There are lead sarcophagi in Rome and Roman Britain from the Empire. This one dates to the 3rd century AD, according to news reports. Here's more from the BBC.
|3rd c AD lead sarcophagus found in Britain. (via Hinckley Times)
- 24 September - 10 Incorrect Ancient Greek and Roman Theories about the Body (via Listverse). Web page seems to have moved? This is the cached version.
- 25 October - Le Ossa Svelano le Malattie di Roma Antica (via Il Messagero). This upcoming exhibit at the Museo Nazionale Romano should be really interesting, as it brings together data on palaeopathology from a variety of Rome-area cemeteries (including Casal Bertone, one of the cemeteries I studied for my dissertation). If you're in Rome in the coming months, you should definitely go check it out (and send me notes!).
- 1 November - "Fatal cranial injury in an individual from Messina (Sicily) during the times of the Roman Empire," Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine. It's not often that we can tell cause- or manner-of-death from long-dead people, so this archaeo-forensic case is quite interesting.
- 1 December - "The pilgrimage economy of Early Roman Jerusalem (1st century BCE–70 CE) reconstructed from the δ15N and δ13C values of goat and sheep remains," Journal of Archaeological Science. Haven't read it yet, but it looks pretty interesting!
- 1 March - And today's the last day you can download my Journal of Anthropological Archaeology article "Food for Rome" for free. Check it out if you haven't already! I'm also happy to pass along a copy of my annotated bibliography of bioarchaeology, which came out at the beginning of October. It's particularly useful for undergrad and grad students interested in bioarchaeology.

Moose on the loose in Thomaston
THOMASTON >> There is a moose on the loose near Route 8 in Thomaston. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) issued a warning to motorists in the Thomaston area, according to release.
The moose originally sighted on Sept. 22, 27 and once more on the 30. DEEP is notifying public now because the moose was located near a highway, according Dwayne Gardner, spokesperson of DEEP.
The original sightings were in remote areas, he said.
Moose near roadways pose a particular danger because their dark color and tall stance make them difficult to see at night and once struck are more likely to collapse through the windshield of the vehicle, according to a release.
"We're just tracking it's movement now, we; notified local law enforcement so that people are aware if they are driving in that area to be a little cautious," said Gardner when asked whether they going to catch the moose.
Gardner said right now it is in the Thomaston area last seen near the Thomaston Dam.
All moose and deer vehicle collisions should be reported to local or state police or DEEP Environmental Conservation Police officers (860-424-3333). DEEP urges residents to report any moose sightings on the DEEP web site at www.ct.gov/deep/hunting.

Thanks From a Student
Comments from a happy student:
Dear Marilyn, as I was going through my photos, I found pictures of the bargello quilt class during Quiltexpo 1994 in Karlsruhe. This Expo opened a whole new world for me! I enjoyed all classes I attended and was impressed by the energy you sent out to us! These experiences had a big impact in my life. I taught patchwork and quilting classes for 20 years, in 2005 I opened the first professional longarm quilting service in Austria. Now that I am retired I still make quilts. I want to thank you for the joy you brought into my life by teaching us a wonderful technique! I attached the photo of the finished quilt I started in the class in 1994.
Edda Katz
Using the 9 Degree Wedge Ruler
How does a quilter use (1) 9 Degree Circle Wedge Ruler to make different sized fans…..different than the actual size of the ruler they own?
This is a great question and a fabulous desire! The answer is "very easily! First let me clarify about the 9 Degree Circle Wedge Rulers.
The 9 degree circle wedge rulers come in 5 sizes…they are all 9 degree rulers. They are simply shorter and or taller versions of the same angle. The individual sizes are 9″ miniature, 14″ miniature, 18″ miniature, 25″ Original, and The 37″ Extension Wedge (which used with the 25″ original ruler).
The size of the ruler is the size of the fan that it will make. Circles will be twice the fan size. For instance the 18″ ruler makes an 18" fan (in 20 different patterns) and also a 36″ circle.
They say that inspiration is like inhaling the memory of something you have never done. That saying feels so magical to me…I remember times of blissful inspiration where I forgot to make dinner, pick children up after ballet or swimming lessons..Forgot to eat or sleep while riding on waves of creativity exploration. I believe inspiration comes from seeing differently…simply letting the air and light into my world or my thinking — it makes a difference!
What stimulated this reflection and appreciation was cutting down my five Camellia bushes some time back which formed a hedge at one end of the huge front porch of my B&B Quilting Retreat Center. Don't worry they were simply "significantly" cut back, not eliminated! However, I apply everything I experience in life as some aspect of my quilting. Removing the wall of Camellia branches from one end of the porch became a metaphor for removing a project from "the project wall," in my sewing area and putting it away. I love my Camellias and I love this particular quilt – but a standstill had evolved for both. The bushes, trees actually, had become 'not-as-beautiful' from inside on the porch where I spend my time, and the quilt had begun to dominate the sewing room every time I entered (or even thought of entering) to try and move on with a different project. Both the camellias and this particular, "in progress" quilt top needed to take up less space – give me space and a new view!
Even More Spectacular Fan Sampler
Learn this technique in the Spectacular Fan Sampler class.
9 Degrees of Inspiration
If you've ever wondered what a class with me is like, Terry Turnage at the Tsquared Life Blog does an absolute fan-tastic (pun intended : ) ) break-down on her blog. Filled with pictures, descriptions and enthusiasm, she shows you the tons of strata possibilities and color combinations we created during our time together. This class was one of three in a series sponsored by the Mississippi Quilter's Association this month. I really enjoyed working with these quilters and seeing their imaginations come to life!

Journey to Jordan #3: Edible Amman
Bottomless chips and salsa at Chili's was not what I pictured for my first taste of Jordan. Nor were the Triple Dippers - Boneless Buffalo Wings, Southwest Egg Rolls and Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers with blue cheese, Ranch and honey mustard dip - that followed. But when our friend that picked us up from the airport asked if we wanted "typical Jordanian food" or "American food you can't get in Turkey," we opted for the latter, figuring we'd have plenty of time for baba ghanoush and künefe the rest of the week.
And, oh, did Chili's deliver.
The next day, when my roommate and I headed down to the neighbourhood grocery store to buy a couple of things for the next morning's breakfast, we discovered we were living in an imported food gold mine. The most dinky, unassuming little shops where men were buying cigarettes and kids were plunking coins down on the counter for Pepsi and candy stocked their shelves full of Bisquick and pancake syrup, Duncan Hines cake mix and frosting, Kraft singles cheese slices, tins of coconut milk, even microwave popcorn. Modern and well-supplied as our Turkish grocery stores may be, most of those items can't be found even in the fanciest foreigner-friendly ones.
I'd better eat up the last of my tuna and Ramen noodles ASAP to make room for all these goodies in my suitcase!
(Don't worry - our second dinner consisted of falafel, pita bread and some seriously creamy hummus. Wouldn't want to forget where we are....)

Last April, Anthony Ray Hinton felt the rain on his face for the first time in 30 years.
Hinton, one of the longest serving death row prisoners in Alabama history and among the longest serving condemned prisoners to be freed after presenting evidence of innocence, is the 152nd person exonerated from death row since 1983.
Thanks to the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) based in Montgomery, Ala., Hinton walked out of the Jefferson County Jail a free man for the first time in three decades on April 3.
Hinton and Charlotte Morrison, a senior attorney at the Equal Justice Initiative, will visit St. Bonaventure University Monday, Oct. 26, and present the program "Stories of Justice and Redemption: The Impact of the EJI" at 7 p.m. in Dresser Auditorium of the John J. Murphy Professional Building. The public is invited.
"Mr. Hinton's experiences put a human face to the issue of mass incarceration. While students can read about the topic, this presentation allows them to hear directly from someone who has been affected – for 30 long years – by the effects of injustice," said Chris Brown, director of SBU's First-Year Experience program.
"I hope our students are inspired by Mr. Hinton and the work of the EJI to continue striving for justice in our campus community and in society at large."
The Equal Justice Initiative provides legal representation to indigent defendants and prisoners who have been denied fair and just treatment in the legal system and was founded by Bryan Stevenson as a young lawyer.
Stevenson's book, "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption," was named by Time Magazine as one of the 10 Best Books of Nonfiction for 2014 and is the university's common read for 2015-16. The All Bonaventure Reads selection explores the inequity embedded in the U.S. criminal justice system and focuses mainly on the work of the EJI.
First-year students were given copies of "Just Mercy" during summer orientation and asked to read the book prior to the start of the fall semester.
Attorney Morrison has litigated capital and non-capital criminal cases and civil rights cases in state and federal court since 2001. She manages EJI's criminal justice reform work in Alabama, and in that capacity, has made presentations to state legislators and other public officials on various reform initiatives. Morrison also coordinates EJI's re-entry program for recently released prisoners and has extensive experience working with prisoners to develop constructive re-entry plans.
Stevenson is a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer who has dedicated his career to helping the poor, the incarcerated and the condemned. Under his leadership, EJI has won major legal challenges in eliminating excessive and unfair sentencing, exonerating innocent death row prisoners, confronting abuse of the incarcerated and the mentally ill and aiding children prosecuted as adults. He has successfully argued several cases in the United States Supreme Court and recently won a historic ruling that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for all children 17 or younger are unconstitutional.
Stevenson and his staff have won reversals, relief or release for more than 115 wrongly condemned prisoners on death row. He has initiated major new anti-poverty and anti-discrimination efforts that challenge the legacy of racial inequality in America, including major projects to educate communities about slavery, lynching and racial segregation. Stevenson is also a professor of law at the New York University School of Law.
Prior to their campus address, Morrison and Hinton will have dinner with a number of freshmen, including eight students whose essays about "Just Mercy" were selected as the best in their class. Read their reflections at www.sbu.edu/AllBonaventureReads.
Morrison and Hinton's visit to St. Bonaventure is also part of the university's #RaceMatters series that was designed to spur positive communication about race issues. Learn more at http://www.sbu.edu/RaceMatters.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, we believe in the goodness of every person and in the ability of every person to do extraordinary things. St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. Named the #5 best college value in the North by U.S. News and World Report, we are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

I liked dancing The Jitterbug, though I was too young during its heyday, and I really liked The Twist, but I suspect it caused a permanent back injury. I tried disco dancing but failed miserably at it, and I could actually waltz if required, or I used to. But truth be told -- which is always strived for here -- my all-time favorite dance is the Trout Turkey Trot.
Strangely your partner for the Trout Turkey Trot is not a pretty girl in a pretty dress but a cold-blooded fish and ugly-necked bird. And rather than wait for the music to play, you step silently into the woods with a shotgun or bow, and then cautiously into a stream with a long rod. All on the same day.
What makes the dance so special is that the Trout Turkey Trot can only be performed for a limited time – that is when trout and turkey season coincide. And it is best in the spring when gobblers are coming to hens, like boys to girls at the Coventry Mall, and the trout are fresh and the streams are cool.
This year the word is the Trout Turkey Trot may really be cooking.
Mary Jo Casalena, turkey biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission believes the cool spring we've experienced, 'may lead to increased gobbling for hunters planning to take part in the state spring wild turkey season.'
I'm not sure if that means hunters will be gobbling to attract turkey or some weird vice versa but it sounds promising.
'Unlike last year's warm early spring weather, which triggered an early start to gobbling, this year's cooler-than-normal March and early April have suppressed gobbling activity,' Casalena explained. 'The arrival of warmer temperatures will bring more gobbling activity, and just in time for the spring turkey season.'
Okay, now I get it. Already in the field I've seen a male here and there fanning to females but I suspect they were jakes in training. I'm just now hearing a few tree announcements as birds come down in the morning.
The state's one-day youth spring gobbler season is April 20, and will run from one-half hour before sunrise until noon. Baring any more cold weather outbursts, things should be prime in at least the southern tier of the state.
The general spring gobbler season is April 27 to May 31, with the traditional noon closure for the first two weeks – through May 11, and from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset the remainder of the season, beginning May 13.
Hunters who purchase a second spring gobbler season license may harvest up to two bearded turkeys, one per day. Second tags must be purchased by April 19; they're available from any license-issuing agent.
And there is another positive sign for the spring hunt. Casalena said turkeys appear to have weathered the winter well.
'Gobblers are in good condition this spring, despite the cold winter, because of abundant mast in most of the Commonwealth – excluding the southwest counties,' Casalena noted. 'That could mean those healthy males may just continue gobbling and looking for mates throughout the hunting season. That will make the coming season a very special time to be afield!'
Though this strong gobbling may occur during the season, Casalena doesn't believe the cool early spring will impact the actual egg-laying.
'Our research has shown that, although weather affects gobbling, it does not affect the onset of egg-laying by hen turkeys,' she said. 'Rather, photoperiod, the amount of daylight, triggers it. And, similar to previous years, the hen turkeys that are equipped with radio transmitters are on course to begin incubating their nests as the spring turkey season opens. We open the spring gobbler season around the peak of nest incubation to minimize hen disturbance and mistaken kills. Nesting hens are less prone to come to a hunter's call and abandon their nests.'
On the trout front, things are equally nice, particularly here in the southeast corner. While some stocked trout are still available from the season's early start, we are in the midst of in-season stockings for Pottstown's most important waters.
In Berks County Antietam Reservoir was stocked on April 11 and will be stocked again on May 8.
Manatawny Creek will be stocked on April 18, from Rt. 73 to just below the confluence of Furnace Creek and from the Oley/Earl Township line to Airport Road
On April 30, the Manatawny from the Oley/Earl Township line and from Levengood Road to confluence with Ironstone Creek will receive fish.
The Manatawny from Route 100 to the mouth of the Schuylkill River will be stocked on April 30.
Hay Creek was stocked on April 8 and the next trout shipment is on May 10 from the White Bear Road Bridge downstream to the mouth of the Schuylkill River.
French Creek was stocked on April 3 and is again scheduled during the week of May 22 from Hollow Road to the Route 23 bridge. The section from the upper boundary of SGL 43 on Harmonyville Road downstream to Coventryville Road at Warwick will be stocked on April 24.
Pickering Creek, from the Pikeland Road bridge downstream to the Merlin Road bridge near Merlin was stocked on April 3 and gets more fish on April 24. The Delayed-Harvest Artificial Lures Only section from Charlestown Road to upstream of the railroad bridge, a distance of 1.5 miles, will be stocked on April 24.
Deep Creek Dam is scheduled for April 16.
Perkiomen Creek from the Tollgate Road bridge (which happens to be closed) to the Fruitville Road bridge (which is also closed) will be stocked on April 26. If you are interested in this stream and how to get around all these closures, meet the stocking truck at the Palm Post Office on Route 29 at 11:30 a.m.
And finally for the Trout Turkey Trot, a sincere thank you to the trout anglers I've met on the streams and lakes the last few weeks who said they were regular readers of this column. Your appreciation is appreciated. Even the Hay Creek fella who said, 'I get a kick out of your stuff. You're a little crazy aren't you?'

Caveats without tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the product.
Maintenance and Administration
Caution VxWorks is intended for qualified Cisco personnel only. Customer use of VxWorks is not recommended, nor is it supported by Cisco's Technical Assistance Center. Inappropriate use of VxWorks commands can have a negative and service affecting impact on your network. Please consult the troubleshooting guide for your release and platform for appropriate troubleshooting procedures. To exit without logging in, enter a Control-D (hold down the Control and D keys at the same time) at the Username prompt. To exit after logging in, type "logout" at the VxWorks shell prompt.
A CTC client session can disconnect from an ONS node during simultaneous deletion of large numbers of VT level circuits (3000+). Connectivity to the node will recover without any user action. If the condition persists, restart the CTC session to reconnect. This issue is under investigation.
The NE should report alarms or conditions on ingress port not on any internal ports. Alarm detected at the internal ports (TERM) side will be ingress map to the MON side. So the NE raises the STS-MON/VT-MON and STS-TERM/VT-TERM alarms or conditions on the STS-MON/VT-MON ports, irrespective of the actual detection port (MON or TERM). If the user wants the customized severity to be reflected for a specifc STS/VT alarms, the alarm profile entities of both STS-MON and STS-TERM, if available, should be changed to the same severity.

Path Protection Functionality
Traffic hits can occur in an unprotected to path protection topology upgrade in unidirectional routing. If you create an unprotected circuit, then upgrade the unprotected circuit to a path protection circuit using Unprotected to path protection wizard, selecting unidirectional routing in the wizard, the circuit will be upgraded to a path protection circuit. However, during the conversion, traffic hits on the order of 300 ms should be expected. This issue will not be resolved.
Note To be compatible with TL1 and DNS, all nodes must have valid names. Node names should contain alphanumeric characters or hyphens, but no special characters or spaces.
Resolved Caveats for Release 7.0.x
The following items are resolved in Release 7.0.x.
Bridge and Roll
When a rollTo leg is not receiving a good signal, and because of this the rollPending alarm is not cleared, there is no alarm indicating the reason that the RollPending alarm fails to clear. This issue is resolved in Release 7.0.
Data I/O Cards
In Asymmetric configuration, with autonegotiation enabled and flow control selected, an ML-series card might fail to synchronize with, or to recognize the asymmetric flow control. This issue is resolved in Release 7.0.
Electrical IO Cards
When upgrading the software from Release 6.x.x to Release 7.x.x, the DS3 and EC1-12 cards fail to load if the node name begins with the letters FL. Changing the node name resolves this issue.
New Features and Functionality
This section highlights new features and functionality for Release7.0.x. For complete documentation of each of the features of the ONS 15310-CL, consult the user documentation.
New Software Features and Functionality
The following feature has been added for Release 7.0.2.
Daylight Savings Time Support
With Release 7.0.2 CTC and TL1 display daylight savings time (DST) in keeping with the new DST rules applicable from 2007 forward. As described in the change in energy policy for the United States of America (USA), the DST start date will be the 2nd Sunday of March and the DST end date will be 1st Sunday of November.
The following features were added for Release 7.0.
Server Trails
Release 7.0.x adds support for server trails. A server trail is a non-DCC link across a third-party network that connects two CTC network domains. A server trail allows circuit provisioning when no DCC is available. You can create server trails between any two optical or DS-3 ports. The end ports on a server trail can be different types. Server trails are not allowed on DCC-enabled ports.
The server trail link is bidirectional and can be VT1.5, VT2, STS1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-12c, or STS-48c, depending on the port; you cannot upgrade an existing server trail to another size. A server trail link can be one of the following protection types: Preemptible, Unprotected, and Fully Protected. The server trail protection type determines the protection type for any circuits that traverse it. PCA circuits will use server trails with the Preemptible attribute.
When creating circuits or VCATs, you can choose a server trail link during manual circuit routing. CTC can also route circuits over server trail links during automatic routing. VCAT common-fiber automatic routing is not supported.
Link Consolidation
CTC provides the ability to consolidate the DCC, general communications channel (GCC), optical transport section (OTS), server trail, and provisionable patchcord (PPC) links shown in the network view into a more streamlined view. Link consolidation allows you to condense multiple internodal links into a singular link. The link consolidation sorts links by class, meaning that all DCC links are consolidated together, for example. You can access individual links within consolidated links using the right-click shortcut menu. Each link has an associated icon.
Link consolidation is only available on non-detailed maps. Non-detailed maps display nodes in icon form instead of detailed form, meaning the nodes appear as rectangles with ports on the sides. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Procedure Guide for more information about consolidated links.
Data Communications Network Tool
Release 7.0.x CTC includes a data communications network (DCN) tool that assists with network troubleshooting for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) networks. This tool, located in network view, executes an internal dump command to retrieve information about all nodes accessible from the entry point. The retrieved information is the same as you would get if you were to execute a dump using special networking commands. The contents of the dump file can be saved or printed and furnished to Cisco Technical Support for use in OSPF network support.
Advanced Circuit Filtering and Export
Release 7.0.x adds an Advanced tab to the Circuit Filter dialog. With advanced circuit filtering you can filter on selected rings, nodes, links, or source/drop combinations.
Also, you can export the active Circuit window data in HTML, comma-separated values (CSV), or tab-separated values (TSV) format using the Export command from the File menu.
Superuser Privileges for Provisioning Users
With Release 7.0.x Superusers can grant permission to Provisioning users to perform a set of tasks, including retrieving the audit log, restoring a database, clearing performance monitoring (PM) parameters, activating a software load, and reverting a software load. These privileges can only be set using the node-level network element (NE) defaults, with the exception of the PM clearing privilege, which can be granted to a Provisioning user from the CTC Provisioning > Security > Access tabs. For more information about setting up Superuser privileges, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
CTC Download Highest Level NET JAR File
As of Release 7.0.x CTC, during network topology discovery, polls each node in the network to determine which one contains the most recent version of the CTC software. If CTC discovers a node in the network that has a more recent version of the CTC software than the version you are currently running, CTC generates a message stating that a later version of CTC has been found in the network, and offers to install the CTC software upgrade JAR files. If you have network discovery disabled, CTC will not seek more recent versions of the software. Unreachable nodes are not included in the upgrade discovery.
Local Domain Creation and Viewing
With Release 7.0.x a Superuser can control whether domains that any future users create and view persist globally (for all CTC sessions), or only locally (within the current CTC session in which they are created), as well as who can create domains (all users, or just Superusers). This control is given to Superusers by means of the NE default, CTC.network.LocalDomainCreationAndViewing. The factory pre-set default value is FALSE, meaning domain information is applied to all CTC sessions and only Superusers can create a domain or add a node to a domain. Setting the default to TRUE enables the option for local domain creation by any user.
Enhanced Fault Management
Release 7.0.x adds increased flexibility for fault management. When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the node suppresses all standing alarms on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, you can set the NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnOOS-MTPorts to TRUE in the NE Defaults editor.
Rx and Tx Indication for TCAs
For electrical card or port PMs for which a direction, either Receive (Rx) or Transmit (Tx), can be detected, Release 7.0.x CTC and TL1 display the Rx or Tx value with the associated threshold crossing alert (TCA) description. For specific cards, port types, and PMs supported consult the Performance Monitoring chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday! If you have a few minutes to whip up a cold drink and put your feet up, sit in the shade or soak up a little sun, treat yourselves to this cool and refreshing Iced Coffee Caramel White Russian, and maybe have a little afternoon snack with that. You've worked hard this week. You deserve this. :)
Jamie's coming home today from Sturgis and I couldn't be more excited since I haven't seen him in five days! And for his special welcome home dinner, here's what I have planned:
- Appetizer - Roasted Artichoke with Spicy Aioli
- Main Course - Rack of Lamb with Sage and Red Wine Cherry Sauce, and Baby Red Potatoes with Herbs
- Dessert - Nectarine Blueberry Crumble
- To Drink - 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, from the winery at Holy Cross Abbey (we bought this in the summer of 2009 during my birthday weekend)
So this morning, I went to three of my favorite stores to pick up a few items (and also to just do some fun browsing): The Container Store, World Market, and Tony's Meats and Specialty Foods. It amazes me how every time I go to The Container Store, I manage to find something that I didn't even know I needed, and somehow don't think I can live without! Jamie doesn't seem to harbor the same excitement about containers that I do (organizing something in the perfect container just makes me happy), and he made me promise never to make him go to there again, although I think it's a pretty fair trade after I go to Men's Wearhouse with him, which is right next door. :)
He tolerates World Market, and of course, he loves Tony's and introduced me to the store when we started dating. It's not a place you can buy many of your groceries, unless maybe you're a celebrity, because it's very expensive. But it's a great place to get some high quality meat and specialty items that you may not find at your regular grocery store. I bought the rack of lamb there this morning, as well as a jar of vanilla bean paste which caught my eye. I have a feeling it will be a good, and much cheaper, alternative to whole vanilla beans when I want that vanilla bean flavor.
By this stage of my morning shopping, it was nearing lunch time, and I gave in to the temptation of buying a carrot streusel muffin from the bakery to have as an afternoon snack when I got home.
Isn't this a gorgeous muffin? It was so delicious, full of cinnamon and cloves, raisins and nuts, and after tasting it, I wish I had the recipe so I could make these. Everything is better with streusel topping, don't you think?
To go along with the muffin, I made an Iced Coffee Caramel White Russian. Yes, I know it's only 2:00 in the afternoon, but don't judge me. :) It is Saturday, after all, and I don't have to go anywhere else today. Although, come to think of it, I forgot to get ice cream, and Jamie's going to want ice cream on top of the nectarine blueberry crumble tonight... I may have to run back out again.
This icy drink was also the perfect way to use up the rest of my coffee that I didn't drink this morning, since I hate just dumping it down the drain. And, it's low calorie, since I make White Russians with skim milk instead of cream. I made it in a big mason jar, to accommodate all the ice, and to have something cool to sip throughout the afternoon on as I finish up some cleaning and do a little prepping for dinner tonight. It's delicious! But I have lots more to do today, so I better pace myself...
Iced Coffee Caramel White Russian
- 1 1/2 cups crushed ice
- 1 cup coffee, room temperature
- 1/8 cup skim milk
- 1 ounce vodka
- 2 ounces Kahlua liquor
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla or vanilla extract
- 1 heaping tablespoon caramel topping
Combine all ingredients in a large glass or jar and stir until combined. Or, puree in a blender for a slushy treat.

The question of dating during the divorce process is very difficult to answer for several reasons. For one thing, the concept of "dating" as we know it today is nowhere mentioned in the Bible. Most marriages in Bible times were arranged, and any contact between two prospective spouses was strictly monitored. In addition, no matter what view one takes on the issue of divorce, it is important to remember Malachi 2:16: "I hate divorce, says the LORD God …" According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. "So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:6). No decision to divorce should be made lightly.
There are three situations in which dating during the divorce process might occur. The first is the case of a spouse who has biblical grounds for divorce. Either the innocent spouse has been abandoned by his/her spouse or else is the innocent victim in an unrepentant adulterous affair. In either case, the innocent spouse is mostly likely in a state of emotional turmoil and vulnerability. Most people going through a divorce, even when it is not their fault, and even when they have biblical reasons, are usually shattered by the circumstances and not in any frame of mind to be "dating." Nor would they be able to make good decisions while "on the rebound." Casual dating in this case is neither wise nor prudent. While the abandoned spouse may be lonely, making clear and godly relationship decisions in such a situation is often very difficult, if not impossible.
The second situation is that of a person who divorces his/her spouse for non-biblical reasons. A divorce in this case, in the words of God, is due to "hardness of heart" (Mark 10:1–12). A divorce, therefore, is a spiritual failure and a time when the focus should be upon the Lord and not upon seeking to replace the one being divorced. The third situation is that of a person who causes a divorce, i.e. the "guilty" party in a divorce. All of the biblical allowances for remarriage after a divorce relate to the "innocent" spouse in a divorce with biblical grounds. There is no biblical allowance for remarriage for a spouse divorced for unbiblical reasons or for a spouse who caused a divorce, whether by adultery, abandonment, and/or other possible grounds. The Bible nowhere states that the "guilty" spouse in a divorce is allowed to remarry. Therefore, in situations two and three, since the purpose of dating is to find a spouse, it would not seem that there is any biblical allowance to begin dating, ever.
Since the purpose of modern dating to find a mate or to seek companionship with the opposite sex, biblically speaking, a married man or woman is not free to engage in that process, even if there is a pending divorce. Even for the innocent victim of an unwanted divorce, until the legal or formal end to a marriage, one is still married, and forging a relationship outside of that marriage gives the wrong appearance. First Thessalonians 5:22 instructs us to "refrain from even the appearance of evil." Therefore, the better choice is to abstain from any action that could endanger one spiritually or give the impression to others of a careless attitude toward marriage.[1]

Stairs dealt; Shortstop next?
NEW YORK — The Matt Stairs trade was officially announced today, but there's still no word on who is coming to the Jays in return. All that's being revealed at this point is that Stairs did indeed go to the Phillies for a player to be named.
Now, the waiting begins for Toronto's three shortstops. Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi is still talking to the Angels about a deal that could send one of David Eckstein, John McDonald or Marco Scutaro to L.A.
Here today, Eckstein is starting at short for the first time since July 26. Could the Jays be showcasing him? More like Toronto is trying anything to squeeze a little more offense from their lifeless bats (three runs in the past three games).
"It gives David a chance to play," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "It just mixes our lineup a little bit. We're not scoring any runs, so I thought I'd put a few different faces out there today."
That included Jose Bautista (riding an 0-for-26 slump), starting at third base instead of Scott Rolen. Gaston said Rolen was fine, but the skipper just wanted to give him a rest since the Jays are playing a day game after a night game.
Today's lineups:
TORONTO (68-66) at NEW YORK (72-62)
at 1:05 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium
Joe Inglett, 2B
David Eckstein, SS

Here's hoping the player to be named later is Jason Donald from Philadelphia Redding instead of Fabio Castro.
If Eskstein is playing at short can it mean Scutaro or J.Mac are on the block.the clock is ticking????.
or maybe it means that Scoot hasn't had a day off in quite a while. He's been moving to second against lefties as Mighty Joe doesn't play. He's played third while Scott was on the DL.
I think that if the Angels make the right offer any of the three are gone. I think the Jays would want more for Scoot or J Mac. But Eckstein has a bigger contract for less value (IMO) so the Angels may be less interested.
steve.You may be right we should know by tomorow.
guys-I think you might find this information which was posted on the Angles web site interesting.
"The pieces for the Angels right now are rookies Brandon Wood and Sean Rodriguez."
I can't believe the Angels would consider trading either one of these guys, but apparently they would. I guess they're going for the gusto this year.
I'd love us to pick up both of these kids. They would certainly want more than just one of our infielders, but would be worth it, particulary Wood.
Check them both out at: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ibp&cid=561
The Diamondbacks are now after Eskstein and they want him bad Hudson is out for the rest of the season this is getting good.
Here's a question for everyone. What do you think is easier to hit, a 100 mph fastball moving 7 inches or a 90 mph slider moving 11 inches?
Don't ask A-Rod, Giambi or Nady, because League over matched and struck all 3 of them out on 13 pitches. Man was that impressive. Unhittable.
Garry-the more, the merrier.
League hits 100 WOW.
Not only is he hitting 100-it's also breaking 7″. The slider touched 90 and is breaking 11″. Nasty stuff-no one hits that unless they shut their eyes, swing and get lucky. lol
I wonder if there's any way Cito can get Snider's heart rate under 200. lol
Nice play by Bautista.
Tough deal for Snider they load them up in the house that Ruth built.Snider must have been shakin in his boots.
He can hold his head high he went from A ball to AA ball then AAA ball and then to the Majors in one year and he is only 20 years old.
Snider will be fine, he just needs at bats to settle in. Yankee stadium, knowing it's the only time he'll ever play there, has to be a tough place to break in. I'm surprised he even got a hit.
Great win. Man was B.J. Ryan ever bailed out on that double play (two inches to the right and that would have been a double). Not a good outing for him, we could have easily blown that.
I agree, League was absolutely disgusting out there. I've never seen him pitch like that. He had Giambi flailing at the ball.
I don't see why the Angels would give up Brandon Wood, but crazier things have happend. He sure has no room to get any MLB at-bats with that lineup, and he hasn't hit over .160 in 2 years of limited time in the majors. A huge prospect though, that would get me very excited. He would be a huge score, I'm sure we'd have to give up more than Eckstein….
welikeroy.Check out the D-Backs and see what they have to offer for ESK.
I think League pitched close to that in 2006, but it appears Cito has done his magic and given hm a new level of confidence. He was unhittable.
I was surprised to see that on LA's web site. It could be they are giving up on Wood or just want to win this year. LA only have one lefty in the pen, so they might consider one of Scutaro, Eckstein or Macdonald and either Downs or Carleson for Brandon Wood and Sean Rodriguez.
What a trade that would be for both teams.
Garry, if it is Arizona, maybe it's for James Joseph D'Antona from thie AAA team.
From MLB rumors
The Angels and the Blue Jays were closing in on a deal Friday that would have returned popular shortstop David Eckstein to Anaheim. But talks stalled, apparently when another club also expressed serious interest in the 2006 World Series most valuable player. The Rays and Red Sox may be among the teams interested in Eckstein. The Dodgers, who also need depth in the infield, are among the teams monitoring the situation, although a deal is considered a longshot.
Gsumner as long as we get a good prospect who is close to Major League ready I don't care what team he comes from.
After watching League pitch today I take back anything I ever said about him.
Hey plus lose your fingers lol.
From Jamie Campbell's blog
Some of Travis Snider's tape-measure home runs in high school were so memorable they were given titles, like the "Broadway Shot" that traveled 500 feet (on to Broadway Avenue) outside Everett Stadium.
According to local legend, he once hit a home run that hit a house 600 feet away. Snider was humble about the allegation.
"Aluminum bat" he said.
Not only was League's stuff insanely nasty, he was also locating his pitches for once. In the past, he has had trouble with walks and hitting the corners (leaving the ball over plate too much).
Young talent from all those teams seem promising. The Red Sox have a heap of talent still, I like Chris Carter, a young first baseman with a power bat really suceeding in Pawtucket and ready for the majors. Lars Anderson is 1B/OF prospect, but he might take a year or two. Michael Bowden and Nick Hagadone are two highly touted pitching prospects. Bowden just got called up.
Dallas McPherson has hit 42 homeruns in AAA this year, recovering from an injury last season and playing for the Marlins now, we are not in talks with the Marlins but interesting none the less.
I think the Diamondbacks still have Tim Raines Jr. don't they? Just kidding, he can hit but has become a minor league journeyman by now. Oh just check it, he is hitting .311 with 15 homers and 28 stolen bases in AAA Tucson, downside is he is 29 years old. You never know, might be a late bloomer. Jaime D'Antona looks like a good one, he was recently called up, hitting .366 in AAA for Tuscon, (I tried to get him in my fantasy keeper pool was unsucessful). Max Sherzer RHP gets a lot of hype, he is 0-2 so far with Arizona. Jarrod Parker is another pitcher they have but he is very young and will take a while. Josh Whitesell 1B, is a guy hitting well in Tucson .329 26 homers, he was a 2003 pick by the Expos. He might not be that different than Dopriak, except he is succeeding in AAA.
I don't there are a lot of prospects out there, it is hard to find a sure thing. I hope the Jays get someone though.
It looks like the D-Backs will be the one I wonder who we will get.Tim Rains jr would not be a loss as a 4th outfeilder if it was not for Snider unless they keep Snider in AAA next year.But I would like to see D'Antona come this way.We will all know by tonight thats for sure.

At first, I was a bit skeptical of Pirelli's plans to test new 18-inch wheels on a Lotus F1 car. Sure, 18 inches of wheel isn't exactly nuts on a production car, but I'd grown up with the piddly little 13-inchers surrounded by fat donuts of tires. But after seeing them pounding around the track, they look fantastic.
There's some debate about whether or not these will see a race due to all the development costs that switching wheel sizes would entail, but they already look great in Lotus gold. Can you imagine how good they'd look in Williams Martini white?
No, no you can't. Because if you are now reading this sentence, you clearly did not. All those who did are now dead, because their head exploded from the sheer force of awesome.
Today is the day you finally thank God for blessing you with a dull mind.

Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg is courting Hulu chief Jason Kilar for a top job with the social network.
Eager to break into the media business, Zuckerberg has been eying Kilar for a while, hoping his network and industry ties would help Facebook with its fledgling offerings, according to the New York Post. From the report:
Facebook clearly harbors content ambitions and could become a destination where people consume as well as talk about movies, music and TV shows. . . . The social network is also eager to prove its worth to Madison Avenue and is looking to attract online video advertising. Few know better than Kilar what's involved.
Kilar, also an Amazon veteran, was allegedly in consideration to run Yahoo, but said he was "graciously declining to be considered." But now that his contract with Hulu is expiring, Kilar might be looking to make a move to Silicon Valley apparently at a more successful company.
Neither Kilar nor Facebook would comment on the speculation.
Kilar's experience dealing with network television (Hulu is, after all, a partnership with ABC, NBC and Fox) would prove valuable to Facebook which aims to keep its users glued its blue and white pages by introducing more media offerings. There's also little doubt that it would be a lucrative deal for Kilar.

I have lost a pet. Not just any pet, but one that has been with Gnomeaggedon since he was big enough to venture into Westfall unassisted.
I've lost CLUCK!
This is the chicken you gain after making a fool of yourself for 15 minutes with the emote /chicken.
I must have bitten the bullet when bag and bank space was at it's lowest and the mechanical chicken must have one the elimination.
Now I know you can go visit any Stable Master and get your deleted chain quest pets restored, as I have with my Smolderweb Hatchling and Worg Pup, but apparently. Keeping chickens is below a Stable Master's dignity.
So I am at a loss. That chicken was so loyal to me. It had been with me for 2 odd years and 60 levels. But although it is a quest chain (2-3) steps, and a non-repeatable quest (I made an idiot of myself again the other night in the hope), the stable masters had eggs for breakfast leaving me starving for feathered affection.
Gnomer and Out!

If there were one household chore that I could elect out of, it would be to never again have to put away my clothes or laundry. It's the one thing I put off until it drives me crazy, and then I still wait another day or two to put them away. And by that time, it's time to do laundry again. And the cycle continues. I keep waiting for the laundry fairy to come and do it for me, but I think she's lost my address.
I shouldn't complain - it's not like I have kids to pick up after, and Jamie puts his own stuff away - but I seem to accumulate more clothes throughout the week needing to be put away than you would think was possible. But when I feel like complaining, I try to remember what I should be thankful for. That I not only have nice clothes to wear, but that I have a washer and dryer that always works. In my apartment in China, I had a tiny little washing machine that only held a pair of jeans and a couple tops at a time. The machine sat in my shower, since it had to drain down the shower drain, too. But at least it gave me a place to rest my feet while shaving my legs! There was no dryer, so I hung my clothes to dry on clothesline that was strung across the kitchen. If you've ever had to do that, then you know just how stiff and uncomfortable jeans and towels are after line-drying.
Jamie's too nice to say anything about my lack of motivation to hang up my clothes, but I wonder if it drives him crazy, too? So because he's so sweet, I made him sweet things... like these Caramel Crumb Bars. When I mention recipes I want to try, he asks, "Does it have caramel in it?" He LOVES caramel, and when I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to make it for him.
Although I enjoy creating my own recipes, I've seen this recipe used so many times that I thought it must be worth trying. It was really easy to make, although the caramel did end up more firm than what I was expecting, so the only thing I would change would be to reduce the cooking time for the caramel so that it stays a little softer and gooeyier after the bars bake. Also, a scoop of ice cream was really good with these, although the cold ice cream did make the bars a little hard, so I'd keep them separate.
I made these the morning we visited some friends and their new baby, so after we sampled one, we packed up the rest to take to them, and if babies could eat caramel, I bet she would have liked them, too!
Now I have to go, because, well... I probably have clothes that need to be put away...
Caramel Crumb Bars
printable recipe
from The Modern Baker by Nick Malgieri
Crust and Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Caramel Filling
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
Preheat oven to 350 F with a rack in the bottom third of the oven. Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil or parchment (leaving an overhang so you can lift the bars out) and spray foil with non-stick spray.
To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and salt on medium speed until soft and light, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
With the mixer on low, add 2 1/4 cups of the flour, beating just until the dough is smooth and the flour has been absorbed, and stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl and the paddle as necessary.
Transfer 3/4 of the dough into the prepared baking pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan to form the bottom layer. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator while you make the filling and top layer.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to the remaining dough in the mixer bowl and work it in with your fingertips until 1/8 - 1/4-inch crumbs form. Set aside.
To make the filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, corn syrup, brown sugar and condensed milk. Bring to a simmer to melt the butter, whisking occasionally. When the mixture begins to boil, whisk constantly until it begins to thicken and darkens in color slightly, about 10 minutes (Cook for only 5 minutes for a softer filling). Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and pour the filling over the bottom crust. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the filling.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is gently bubbling and a dark caramel color. Cool the bars in the pan on a wire rack until lukewarm, about 15-20 minutes. Use the foil to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Once completely cool, cut into 2-inch squares.

DeKALB – The DeKalb City Council gave initial approval Monday for setting its property tax levy request at $9.67 million, meaning that a property owner would pay 79 cents for each $100 for their property's equalized assessed value.
Residents paid 72 cents per $100 on their 2011 bills, which were paid in 2012.
Only Fifth Ward Alderman Ronald Naylor disagreed with raising property taxes above the amount the council set last year. Sixth Ward Alderman Dave Baker was not present at the meeting.
"I'd like the levy to stay where it was, so we can truly say we're not raising taxes," Naylor said.
Monday night's vote was not the final action. The council will vote on the issue again at its Dec. 10 meeting. The council is required by law to file its ordinance with the city clerk by the last Tuesday in December.
The aldermen had previously set the ceiling for a property tax levy at $9.67 million, and were given two options by city staff to set the request at either $9.67 million or $9.63 million – the amount the city levied last year.
Although the 2012 levy is $40,000 higher, the increase is needed to capture revenue from new construction in the city, Second Ward Alderman Tom Teresinski said.
"That new construction is being incentivized by us and we never capture it," Teresinski said, referring to past council decision to keep the rate flat.
Laura Pisarcik, the city's finance director, said by capturing revenue from new construction, most of which is commercial, the council is not putting a lot of the burden on homeowners. On average, property values in the city have fallen 8 percent, but residential property values have fallen 11 percent, Pisarcik said.
The city uses property tax revenue to fund pensions of city staff, police officers and firefighters. The $9.67 million request would be able to fund all the police and fire pensions, and 45 percent of the pensions of city staff. The other 55 percent will have to be made up from one of the city's other funds, she said.
Jim Kayes, president of the DeKalb Police Pension Board, served as a warning siren for incoming higher pensions costs during Monday's public hearing. However, the city can soften the blow by paying more in the present than in the future.
"If you don't pay for it in the front end, you're going to pay for it in the back end," Kayes said. "I want to encourage you to continue the direction you're going in because it is an improvement."

A Ballet Dancer's Workout Music? Classical, Of Course
A Ballet Dancer's Workout Music? Classical, Of Course
Morning Edition has been asking people what music makes them move, in order to create The Ultimate NPR Workout Mix. The mix already includes a good selection of Kanye West, 2Pac and Madonna — which is just fine for some people. But we've also heard from some of you who prefer a different kind of workout soundtrack: classical music.
Jared Angle, a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, is among that group. Just as we're used to seeing athletes wearing headphones with intense focus before a game, Angle says you'll see something similar backstage at the ballet before a show.
"That's your time to listen to whatever music you want to listen to, get into whatever mood you want to get into — or any mood you want to get out of," Angle says. "When people are warming up beside the stage, they have headphones in all the time."
Angle offered three picks for NPR's mix: Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 transcribed for two pianos, a Handel aria called "Sorge Nell'Alma Mia," and a selection from the Philip Glass opera Akhnaten.
Of the last of those, Angle says, "The third movement in particular has some of the most energetic music that we dance to. By the end, when you're so tired, all you have to do is listen to the music — it's very percussive — and it just gets you right through, no matter how exhausted you are."

Posted by: Saving Water SA (Cape Town, South Africa) – partnered with Water Rhapsody conservation systems – 02 November 2010
When Mount St. Helens blew its top in 1980, it wasn't a surprise that it happened, but even today the extent of the damage is hard to fathom. The eruption knocked down 100-foot trees like matchsticks and killed just about everything in its path. There have been several smaller eruptions since then, but nothing like what happened in 1980.
Evolutionary biologist and ecologist John Bishop knows Mount St. Helens well; he has been working on the mountain for 20 years. "It began with the largest landslide in recorded history that uncorked an explosion that was directed horizontally and leveled the forest 13 miles out," recalls Bishop. "It was just a barren landscape, gray-and-pumice-colored, covered with rocks."
Today, dead tree trunks still litter the landscape. But, if you take a closer look, you'll see another kind of eruption; an eruption of life on the mountainside. For Bishop, it's a blessing. "It's a rare opportunity for scientists to get to study a devastated area and how it comes back from scratch in such detail," he says.
With help from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Bishop is documenting the return of living things to the once lifeless mountain. "Up until the last 10 years, the landscape has been completely dominated by lupins," says Bishop. He says these flowering lupin plants are able to create new soil from volcanic ash. That new soil has created a habitat for the Sitka willow. But, Bishop says there is a problem. "One of the things we've realized about these willows is that they're not getting big. And that's important because they create habitat for birds and mammals."
The culprits are small invasive weevils that are on the attack. They've taken up residence inside the willows' stems, stunting the plants' growth or killing them. Bishop says there is a lesson in all of this. "Seemingly insignificant organisms, like insects that consume plants, play an extraordinarily important role in the sorting out process of deciding, essentially, which plants are going to stay in the landscape and which ones are going to disappear."
Bishop points out that the imbalance between plants and insects on Mount St. Helens should be expected in rudimentary systems and will cause instability until a more complex community of plant and animal species is sustainable, or until the day Mount St. Helens itself changes the equation once again.
