Koreans surprised by loud crowd than fight put up by Indians
New Delhi: More than the tremendous fight put up by Indian youngsters on the final day after debacle on day one, the Korean players were surprised by the vociferous crowd, whose noise affected their concentration, in the Asia/Oceania Group 1 Davis Cup tie, here on Sunday.
Close to 3000 fans thronged the R K Khanna Tennis stadium to cheer the inexperienced Indian youngsters, who put up a gallant fight against the superior Koreans.
V M Ranjeet, who was outplayed on day one, played his heart out on Sunday but lost eventually.
Korean number one player Suk-Young Jeong, who defeated Ranjeet to seal the tie for his team, said he was not surprised by either Ranjeet`s fight today or Malik`s superb play on day one.
"I was not surprised, I played him (Malik) two years ago and it was 5-7 4-6 something like this. I have seen him, he`s amazing. I was more surprised by the loud crowd. I have never played in atmosphere like this. I was getting angry a bit but concentrated on my game. I am happy with the result," Jeong said.
Korean captain Yong-II Yoon also said that he got a bit worried for his boys due to noise created by the crowd.
"There was a lot of noise. The boys are inexperienced to handle such crowd. But they did well, I am happy for them," Yoon said.
Surprisingly, Jeong was the only Korean complaining about the slow court.
"It was too slow, I had to mould. It`s not my tennis that I played here," he said.
Jeong credited his success to new US coach he hired 12 months back.
"I changed my coach a year back and made me play more inside the baseline. It changed my tennis."
Jeong also said the court here was best suited to Somdev and it would not have been easy for them had all top players played for India.
"Maybe it was tougher. I saw him at the Asian games. He would have liked this court. He is very good, very fast," he said.
The Korean captain said his players were much richer in experience by playing and winning an away tie.
"We had to worry if we had played on grass. Still, it was tough since the players did not have much Davis Cup. We will take a lot of confidence out of it."
The Koreans said they will celebrate the victory at their home country since they have an early-morning flight to catch on Monday.

As new evaluation systems have crept up across the country, they've brought with them SMART Goals.
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timely
And I'm sick of them.
Here's how it typically works: Teachers has to come up with their SMART goals for the year. They go through the criteria listed above. They come up with a terrible unambitious goal that they can make without difficulty. They achieve their goal. They get a good evaluation and a pat on the head for meeting their goals.
It's Evaluation Theater.
Let's break it down:
- Specific. Sure. Be as specific as you want to be about the goal. No skin off my nose. But does it always need to be? Specificity denotes the idea that you know EXACTLY the thing that needs to be done.
- Measurable. If it's pretty specific, you can probably measure it in some way. No problem. But, again, do you always needs need to be able to have a clear measurement for your goal? If you can't measure it, how is that inherently bad?
- Attainable. This is is where things start to break down. To say that the goal is attainable is to play it safe. If a chief criterion of your goal is that you can attain it, it means that nobody is going to try and aim high for their goals. There is nothing built into the system to encourage them to take risks. I'd rather have Inspirational goals than Attainable goals.
- Realistic. This is just to reinforce the Attainable strand. If it's realistic, it's something that's within your reach now. You don't have to work hard to get there. Why can't we have unrealistic goals that we would need to work our butts off to achieve? If you fall short of an absurdly unrealistic goal, chances are you've probably made it further than you would have with the complete safe, realistic goal.
- Timely. Something you can implement and accomplish in basically one year. Teaching, though, is the work of a lifetime. It's full of constant refinements and sudden changes.
You take all of these elements together and they lead to boringly safe goals.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
From the day I decided to make education my life's work, I always set one simple, yet completely unspecific, unmeasurable, unattainable, unrealistic, and untimely goal. It's Aspirational:
I want to be a great teacher.
That's it. That's the entire goal I've had guiding my career to this point. When I started teaching, I didn't know what it would take to become a great teacher, how long it would take to become great, my chances of flaming out along the way. I didn't realize that this kind of Aspirational goal is insidious in that it its goalposts keep moving, always moving backwards, so you have to keep on pushing forwards no matter how much work you put in and how much you improve.
But I also didn't realize the power of having such a simple goal in mind could bring clarity to the things I would do and the decisions I'd make. With an Aspirational goal, it's possible to ask yourself, "Does this move me closer to becoming a great teacher?" If the answer is yes, move in that direction. If not, move along. Having a wildly crazy goal that you're not sure you'll ever reach can encourage you to work tirelessly to do your best. It's the kind of thing that colors your work not in short bursts, but over a sustained, interesting life.
Aspirational goals are also much more forgiving than SMART goals. The timeliness of the SMART goal means you have little room to maneuver if you make a mistake or follow the wrong path. The Apsirational goal allows you to realize you've made a mistake, take the time to ponder what didn't work, and then use that as a learning experience from which to move forward. I was a terrible first year teacher, but the lessons I learned from that year sustain me to this day.
Aspirational goals can also shift over time. Having left the classroom this year, I'm doing a lot of thinking about my goals and purpose. Does this shift help me to meet my Aspirational goal? It's a bit of both, probably. But it also opens up new avenues for what my goals can be. As I've adjusted to my new role and responsibilities, I'm finding myself shifting from the short-term thinking needed to survive a change in work and moving towards long-term planning and ideas for how I can both move myself and my organization forward. It's the work of years, and I don't think I've figured it all out yet, but I know I'm not very interested in playing it safe.
And I still want to be a great teacher. Someday, I might get there.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) announced today that it will honor Grammy Award-winning singer, Ricky Martin with the Vito Russo Award at the 22nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday March 19th in New York City.
Named after one of GLAAD's founders, the award recognizes an openly LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for the community.
After coming out of the closet via his website in March of 2010, Ricky has been speaking out for LGBT equality in both English and Spanish-language media. He's also starred in anti-gay bullying PSA's and encouraged acceptance and understanding of all people while promoting his new album, Musica+Alma+Sexo, and his best-selling autobiography, Me.
GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios said Ricky has had a significant impact on Latinos especially. "Ricky coming out was a game changer for many gay and transgender Latino children, who for too long, did not have many out gay people to look up to," she said. "Through his music, videos and interviews, Ricky has sent an important message that our community wants the same things all people do: an equal chance to raise our families and take care of our loved ones."
In addition to receiving the award, Ricky's touching 2010 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show is also a nominee for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Talk Show Episode.

I am wanting to use the 4 cable method with my Mesa Boogie amp. The only problem is the amp is still too loud for my church setting. If I unplug the speaker from the poweramp (no sound from amp) can I use the boogie preamp through the Pod fx loop and still run XLR direct out via the Pod?
by jimsreynolds on 2012-11-21 17:20:32.5570
******************** Noooooo !!! Do not unplug the speaker from the power amp.
You should never run a tube amp with the speaker unplugged. Without a load: there is ia high probabllity that you will damage your amp's output transformer and it will need to be replaced. This will cost you mucho $$$.
In some cases, the tube amp will have a dummy load that kicks in when the speaker is unplugged but these are in the minority and I cannot confirm whether the Boogie has one. Don';t take the chance unless you can confirm this.
If you think this through: even with the speaker removed you would stilll not be hitting your bases. You could run the Boogie Preamp in the FX Loop of the Pod (as is standard with 4CM) but then the output would not actually go through a power amp and speaker simulation. There is no generic power amp/speaker model on the pod so you would find your tone might be a bit on the thin and anaemic side when you DI-d it.
If you cannot reduce the Boogie's volume enough to make it sound good at low volume: I would think about:
1) A power soak between the Power amp and speaker to reduce the overall volume. The power amp could cook as much as you want at a reduced speaker volume and may do the do
2) Another smaller amp for church.
3) Use the Pod modelling as intended and work up some good modelled tones for DI into the church PA.

+1 Jim...
I say leave the amp at home and just take the POD...I do this quite often at rehearsals with my HD bean...I could never really do that with the XT as it lack the dynamic feel that the HD models finally have...anyhoo, I say keep it simple...use the amp when you need it...Go direct when you don't...
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Five years old
Guinea Pig
San Diego, California, USA
his is Roxie, my five-year-old guinea pig. I got her in 2008, when she was about two years old. I rescued her from Wee Companions, San Diego's small animal rescue. It started on the day I came to the shelter in Fall of 2008. I was and still am a volunteer there, because I love seeing all the animals and helping them out. When I came in for my volunteer hours, the people informed me that they had a new addition, Roxie. They had taken her in from another small animal shelter in Los Angeles because they were over-crowded and were dispatching a few animals to helping shelters throughout California. So after I heard about her, I went to the Guinea Pig sanctuary to look for her. The minute I saw her I immediately fell in love. I loved all the animals there, but something seemed different about Roxie, I just felt like I needed her. After a few weeks of spending time with Roxie and watching her get to know the other guinea Pigs and animals, the other volunteers told me that Roxie was now up for adoption. I wasn't planning on another pet, but I made an exception for Roxie. I was the first to volunteer for adopting Roxie, and after another week she went to her new home-with me!
Roxie has now been with me for about Three years, and she is doing great. She gets to come to Wee Companions when I go and play with all the other guinea pigs. She has a big C&C cage in her own room in the house, complete with lots of toys, food and Timothy Hay. Her favorite toy is her Hay basket, she loves trying to pull all the hay out of it and usually ends up with it all over her head! She loves getting her chin rubbed and would let you do it for years if you had the time. Her favorite treats are grape tomatoes, cucumber, carrot slims and corn husk. Even after I make her a mini-salad she wants more, what a piggy she is!
She is also a very friendly and social guinea pig. She can make friends with anyone, using her cuteness of course! She really loves hanging around our ten-year-old cat named Tina, they seem like the best of friends! Tina doesn't mind her at all, she is a very sweet cat. Tina will sniff Roxie, and once I even saw an amazing sight. When I have Roxie out of the cage, she likes to cuddle in Tina's bed basket, and once Tina came in it and they were sleeping beside each other! No fighting at all. Roxie also loves having play dates with her guinea pig pal, Lily. Lily was a member of Wee Companions when Roxie was there, and she was adopted by our neighbor-what a coincidence! Now they get to play together every once in a while, and they enjoy the company of one another. She also got to meet some little chickens when we visited a farm in June, 2011. She loved it!
I love Roxie in every way possible, she is just the best little Piggy - and she knows it too!

(PRWEB) October 01, 2012
Zane Benefits, which provides comprehensive and flexible alternatives to traditional employer-based health insurance, today published information summarizing annual and lifetime limits for HRAs.
The information was published to Zane Benefits' new health care reform blog.
The Department of Health and Human Services describes Annual and Lifetime Limits as follows:
"The Affordable Care Act prohibits health plans from putting a lifetime dollar limit on most benefits [one receives]. The law also restricts and phases out the annual dollar limits a health plan can place on most of [one's] benefits — and does away with these limits entirely in 2014."
In the publication, Zane Benefits covers the following questions about Annual & Lifetime Limits for HRAs:
- Special Exemptions for Certain Account-Based Medical Expense Reimbursement Plans
- Determining if an HRA is Exempted
- Awaiting Guidance on Non-Exempted HRAs
- Special Waiver Program for Non-Exempted HRAs
- More Information on the Annual and Lifetime Limit Rules
The post explains how to determine whether an HRA is exempt, covering five different HRAs including Integrated HRAs, Flexible Spending Account HRAs, Excluded HRAs, Excepted HRAs and Retiree HRAs.

The Orioles may reveal the identity of their pitching coach later today. Or they may not.
I can offer you one certainty. The Orioles will find out how many of their six Gold Glove finalists are taking home the hardware. The winners will be announced on ESPN2 beginning at 8 p.m.
I also can offer you one piece of good news. SportsCenter will air before the Gold Glove show, which ensures that we won't have to wait through four overtimes of a small-college football game. That's intelligent programming right there.
I'm more excited about the "30 for 30" documentary on Jimmy Connors that will follow the broadcast, but I digress...
Here's a list of the American League finalists:
Mark Buehrle Toronto Blue Jays
R.A. Dickey Toronto Blue Jays
Doug Fister Detroit Tigers
Joe Mauer Minnesota Twins
Salvador Perez Kansas City Royals
Matt Wieters Baltimore Orioles
First basemen
Chris Davis Baltimore Orioles
Eric Hosmer Kansas City Royals
James Loney Tampa Bay Rays
Second basemen
Robinson Cano New York Yankees
Dustin Pedroia Boston Red Sox
Ben Zobrist Tampa Bay Rays
Third basemen
Adrian Beltre Texas Rangers
Evan Longoria Tampa Bay Rays
Manny Machado Baltimore Orioles
Alcides Escobar Kansas City Royals
Yunel Escobar Tampa Bay Rays
J.J. Hardy Baltimore Orioles
Left fielders
Yoenis Cespedes Oakland Athletics
Andy Dirks Detroit Tigers
Alex Gordon Kansas City Royals
Center fielders
Lorenzo Cain Kansas City Royals
Jacoby Ellsbury Boston Red Sox
Adam Jones Baltimore Orioles
Right fielders
Nick Markakis Baltimore Orioles
Josh Reddick Oakland Athletics
Shane Victorino Boston Red Sox
The Orioles have never won more than four Gold Gloves in a season. It happened in 1969, 1971, 1973, 1974 and 1975.
Keep in mind that the voting process this year has expanded beyond managers and coaches. The SABR Defensive Index will account for 25-to-30 percent of it, which includes defensive runs saved (DRS), ultimate zone rating (UZR) and total zone rating (TZ). The finalists will not, however, be judged by their vertical jumps or 40-yard dash times. And there's no swimsuit competition.
I'm positive that Machado will finish ahead of Beltre and Longoria. The Orioles won't be shut out. Book it.
Machado will be the first Orioles third baseman to take the award since Brooks Robinson in 1975.
I'd normally predict wins for Wieters and Hardy, as well, but I have my doubts now with this sabermetric component. Wieters grades poorly compared to the other two catchers, most notably with his -13 DRS. He'll need strong support from managers and coaches.
I'm convinced that Ellsbury will be the Gold Glove center fielder, denying Jones a third award.
FanGraphs' August Fagerstrom projects that Machado will be the lone Oriole to win a Gold Glove. You can read the article here.
On Wieters, Fagerstrom writes: "Wieters, despite being hated by DRS this year for some reason, was still the league's best pitch-blocker and has a sound reputation for being a good defensive catcher and pitch-framer."
On Machado, he writes: "This one was easy. It's no secret that Manny Machado is incredible defensively, as his conversion from already Gold Glove-caliber shortstop to third base went even better than expected."
I'm not the grizzled old man who resists these new-fangled defensive ratings and yells at kids to get off my lawn, but the system isn't without its flaws. Otherwise, Mike Napoli wouldn't grade out as the best defensive first baseman in the league.
Take a poll of managers and coaches and see how many rate him No. 1. He isn't a finalist, so there's no chance that he'll win, but he'd take home the hardware if the voting were confined to the SABR Defensive Index.
In addition, Hardy would be excluded from Gold Glove consideration, replaced by former Orioles farmhand Pedro Florimon.
Show of hands if you'd rather have Florimon at shortstop than Hardy.
Fagerstrom writes: "J.J. Hardy was a fine choice by the MLB, as he has been one of the premier defenders at shortstop for nearly a decade, but the defensive talent pool at shortstop is deep, as always, and Hardy just missed the cut this year."
Machado was the lone Oriole to win a Fielding Bible Award, per the Bill James Handbook 2014. Here's the list, which names one winner at each position:
First Base - Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks
Second Base - Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox
Third Base - Manny Machado, Baltimore Orioles
Shortstop - Andrelton Simmons, Atlanta Braves
Left Field - Alex Gordon, Kansas City Royals
Center Field - Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee Brewers
Right Field - Gerardo Parra, Arizona Diamondbacks
Catcher - Yadier Molina, St. Louis Cardinals
Pitcher - R.A. Dickey, Toronto Blue Jays

Gentle strapping, absolute user safety
The new UATRI-2 XT straps "inline" and facilitates work for the user with automated processes. The high-performance machine runs on a completely upgraded motor management technology and can be easily integrated in automated high-speed corrugated cardboard production lines. Along with its automatic set-up, the machine also automatically configures torque and other motor parameters to match the need of the products. It calculates the time it will take from detection of the load by the photoelectric barrier to operation of the required strapping functions. The UATRI-2 XT adjusts motor parameters to provide a slower, more powerful feed for large bundles and a lower-power, faster feed for small bundles.
While controls were integrated into the motors of the earlier types, the new UATRI-2 XT relies on centralized motor control. This prevents machine failure and ensures absolute reliability of the strapping system in the automatic production line. The roller drive on the UATRI-2 XT is equipped with a split belt system. Power is transmitted through two drive belts with the main belt guided on an innovative roller bed, simplifying maintenance, increasing the power/performance ratio, and extending service life.
Easy to use, safe operation
A touch panel with a revised user interface simplifies control of the UATRI-2 XT to prevent work interruptions and damage to the machine by incorrect operation. Different safety levels can be activated according to the operator's skill and experience. There is no need to interrupt production to manually change strap coils. The machine is equipped with two coil dispensers. When one coil runs out of strap, the other strap is automatically joined. With 1,000 coil changes annually, this automatic strap coil change avoids around 50 hours machine downtime. That is equal to 75,000 bundles that could have been strapped in this time at a rate of 25 bundles per minute.
With an optional quality assurance system integrated in the machine, the UATRI-2 XT automatically detects bundles that do not meet specified criteria. Control software in the upstream production stage monitors bundles to ensure they meet the required quality standards. Non-compliant bundles are rejected and moved from the line by the downstream roller chain conveyor.
The special configuration of the machine enables up to 30 bundles per minute to be strapped individually or in parallel in perfectly aligned stacks. The bundles are perfectly aligned on all sides by the plates of an integrated squaring station and held securely in place, which makes sure the machine delivers the stacks neatly strapped.

My brother who isn't a big fan of Metroid games was looking at the different reviews for this game with me and after we were done he did make a very good point on why this game is a mixed bag in the reviews. He said "Do you think anyone would even like this game if it didn't have Metroid pasted all over it?" Now that I think about I highly doubt that people would've even cared or liked this game if it wasn't a Metroid game. If it played the exact same way but you didn't play as Samus but some other character and it wasn't called Metroid I don't think anyone would have been looking forward to this games and the review would have probably been lower. I'm starting to trust the low review more then the ones who praised it now because I think the reviewers who gave it average/bad reviews looked past the fact that it was a Metroid game and played it like a completly new series and then they say it wasn't that good.

A sashay up the Hawdon Valley
In early December I went for an overnight trip to Hawdon Hut at the head of the Hawdon river valley. I had been this way back in the 1980's but I've not visited since then.
There is a new hut built to replace the old version which burnt down in 2010. I am very impressed with this new hut, it has been moved to a much better location and is very tidy and spacious. The hut has 18 bunks but could quite easily take more than this if required.
|Map of the Hawdon Valley
If you don't like wet feet then you are out of luck, because you have to cross the Hawdon river in the first 5 minutes. Mostly, the river is ankle to knee high, but can get much higher when in flood.
|Hawdon river, near Hawdon shelter
|True right of Hawdon river
|Over Sudden Valley Stream and heading up Hawdon Valley
After crossing the Hawdon river and Sudden Valley stream you look for and follow the old 4WD track leading up valley. This is by far the easiest and quickest way to travel, it goes all the way up to the East Hawdon confluence, which is the ridge line in the middle of the photo.
4 WD track heading up valley
The 4 W/D track was built to facilitate a study of the native bird population in the valley, this is one of those happy coincidences when trampers benefit from some other activity in the bush. Thanks DOC!
|Hawdon Valley: 2 kms up valley, before East Hawdon confluence
|Looking up East Branch Hawdon valley
Once over the East Hawdon, you follow along the river banks and move along short lengths of bush track, there are at least 4 required crossings of the Hawdon River, this is not a track too be attempted in heavy rain, as the river would become impassable.
|Sidle track, through bush heading up valley
|Track following alongside Hawdon River
The track closely follows the river, with some areas of travel on the riverbed itself, you need to keep an open eye for the markers etc. as some of them are not very obvious.
|Hawdon Valley; 5 km point up valley
The hut up this valley is new, the original burnt down in 2010 after some fool threw hot ashes under the hut. I stayed in Hawdon Hut way back in the 1990's it was one of the Lockwood designs that were so popular with the Arthurs Pass NP board. A nice hut in a good location, but the new location is so much better.
|Old Hawdon Hut, 1990's from Arthurspass.com
Here is Hawdon Hut II, built in 2010 to replace the old hut, it is 1 km upstream from the old hut site. It is very nice and sits in an excellent location with views of the surrounding mountains, this is a much nicer spot than the old location, so at least something good came of the fire.
|Hawdon Hut Mark II
|Me on the veranda
Very spacious and light within, the facilities are excellent, with bunk platforms and mattresses for 18 people. There were 12 people here on the night I stayed, they all arrived after 3pm, I had the hut to myself up to that point.

Lovely view from the veranda, there are lots of excellent looking camping spots on the river flats across the river.

|Hand hewn wooden bench, cool!
The next morning I set off at 7am for the road head, here is one of the forest sidles you pass on the way down valley. I always start out early in the morning, it is the best time of the day to travel in my opinion.
|Sidle track heading down valley towards Discovery Stream
|Crossing Discovery Stream near the hut site
|Track, meadow next to Hawdon River
There are a lot of good camping spots in this valley, this is about 200m from the East Hawdon, heading down valley. I will be coming back and camping in this area sometime in the future.
|Meadow, up valley from East Hawdon
|Woolshed Hill from the Hawdon Valley floor
As you can see the 4 W/D track is fairly easy to see, following this track will save you about 45mins each way, so it is worth finding it.

I stopped at the Sheffield pie shop on the way home to get a pie, they are excellent and they have won several awards. Nothing like a pie after eating dehydrated food the previous evening!

The Hawdon valley might not be the most remote area but it is beautiful nonetheless. You don't have to go to a wilderness area to enjoy solitude in New Zealand, we are very lucky in that respect.
Access: SH73 to the Mt White Road turn off, once over the Mt White bridge head left to Hawdon Shelter. From Hawdon Shelter follow the track crossing the Hawdon River and Surprise Stream, follow the 4 W/D track up valley.
Track Times: 4 hours from the Hawdon Shelter
Hut Details: Hawdon Shelter: day shelter only- no bunks, no water but does have open fireplace. There are plenty of rough camp-sites here: Hawdon Hut; serviced, 18 bunks, wood burner, water tank, wood shed.
Miscellaneous: Hawdon River, East Hawdon and Sudden Valley Stream susceptible to flooding in heavy rain, none of the rivers or side streams are bridged. Numerous required river crossings. This IS NOT a wet weather destination.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies: Take Two
Once upon a time I made a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies recipe. I loved them, I shared them on my blog, and readers either loved them or not. Here is a short video showing you how to make them:
There were a few "observations" made about my version of this totally-awesome-brownie-recipe that were sinking into my soul… which caused me to lose sleep at night (not really, but I added that for dramatic effect…) I LOVE MY FIRST VERSION THE WAY IT IS… but I decided to listen those observations to see if I could create an even better Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies Recipe and make everyone happy! Here it is!
Okay, first "observation": The cookie dough is "grainy." Well, I've got news for y'all. Cookie dough is grainy. That's just the way it is. In this version, I melted the butter and then whisked in the sugars to see if I could make it less grainy and more dissolved… it might be a little better, but it's still grainy. If you're a cookie dough lover then you know what I mean and you don't care. Cookie dough is just (by nature) grainy! Someone had suggested trying powdered sugar to avoid the whole grainy-thing. I wasn't into that. Real chocolate chip cookie dough must have both white granulated sugar and brown sugar or it doesn't taste like chocolate chip cookie dough. So there.
Second observation: The cookie dough layer isn't thick enough. In this version, the brownies are baked in a 9×9- inch pan. The brownie layer and the cookie dough layer are just about even. That should satisfy just about everyone, right?
Third observation: The brownie layer isn't fudgy… or it has no flavor (in other words… it's not good). This (new and improved) brownie layer is FUDGY. Though I have to admit, I don't think anything is wrong with the original chocolate chip cookie dough brownies recipe. I like both, but I do like this one better.
Fourth observation: The cookie dough layer doesn't stick to the brownie layer. I don't have this problem, so let me share exactly how I construct my brownies so it works per-fec-to: I bake my brownies in a pan lined with parchment paper, then I put them in the refrigerator until they are all cooled down and pretty firm. While the brownies are baking, I make the cookie dough and then refrigerate it until the cookie dough is chilled and easy to work with (firm-ish). Then I take the brownies out of the fridge, wet my hands (or spray them with nonstick spray) and pat the cookie dough on top of the brownies into an even layer. Then I wrap the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the brownies until they are firm. Take the brownies out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Because I'm obsessed with neat edges, I use a very sharp, large knife to cut off all of the edges, then I cut the brownies into small, clean pieces. Clean pieces require that you wipe your knife with a paper towel between cuts.
That's it! You've learned all of my secrets. And now you can make my new-and-improved version of this chocolate chip cookie dough brownies recipe. By all means, let me know what you think of them… and if you have any feedback about these! Hopefully, they are perfect. That's the goal here. See, I listen to my readers… and keep workin' it to make you happy and satisfied! It's a tough job (you know… re-testing chocolate chip cookie dough brownies over and over again to find the perfect version), but somebody has to do it, right? 🙂
Yield: 16 brownies
Prep Time: 30 minutes + chill time
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature or almost melted
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- additional miniature chocolate chips, if desired (to garnish the top)
Prepare the brownie layer-
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch pan with nonstick spray, then line with a strip of parchment paper so that it covers the bottom and comes up two sides of the pan. Spray the parchment with nonstick spray too.
- In a microwave safe bowl (or in the top of a double boiler or pan set on top of a pan of simmering water), microwave in 30 second bursts to melt butter and chocolate chips together until all is melted and smooth. Whisk in the sugars, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla and salt. Sift flour into the bowl and stir that in too. Scrape the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brownie layer is cooked through (toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). Place the pan of brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process (or cool at room temperature and add the cookie dough layer later).
Prepare the cookie dough layer:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugars and salt until soft and creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Mix in the milk and vanilla. Sprinkle in the flour and mix in until combined. Stir in the 1 cup of chocolate chips. Scoop the cookie dough onto the top of the brownies and spread onto the brownie layer. I find that it's easiest to do this if the brownie layer is chilled and firm. Wet your hands or spray them with nonstick spray and pat the cookie dough on top in a even layer. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top to create a nicer, visual appearance. For easy, clean cutting, chill the brownies (wrap the brownies with plastic wrap and chill until firm- 1 to 2 hours or up to 2 days).
- Cut the brownies: Run a knife along the sides of the brownie pan and then use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan and onto a cutting board. Slice the brownies with a sharp knife, wiping the knife with a paper towel between cuts. If you'd like all of your slices of brownies to look clean-cut without edges, use the knife to cut the sides of the brownies off before cutting pieces. Keep brownies slices covered and chilled until ready to serve.

Oh wow…..these look INCREDIBLE!! Of course as a COOKIE DOUGH LOVER, I am biased, but I must make these soon. This could very well become my favorite dessert of all time. Somthing I tend to do to spread out the "sugar attack" is to freeze some of the treats. I can imagine how great these would be chopped up into 1 inch pieces to add to ice cream. Mmm…..
Thanks for sharing…hope you had an incredible Memorial Day weekend! 🙂
Sweet goodness, yes please!
I'm pretty sure I'd be happy with any version of a cookie dough brownie. I have to agree with you on the cookie dough texture, I actually would prefer and expect grainy.
I love cookie dough in any form so either version would be a winner for me. But them again I would have an excuse to try *two* pans 🙂
I'd say you've got everything covered, Lori! Frankly, I never thought about the grainy part…I love it that way. Half and half sounds like the perfect combo to me.
These look fabulous! I don't usually make brownies from scratch because I think the Ghirardelli brownies are soooo good. Your cookie dough on top is delish. To make the dough less grainy, I melt the sugars as much as possible in melted butter over low heat.
Thanks for your tips.
New, improved, & delicious!!! I can't wait to try them! 😀
I didn't see anything wrong with the first version but I might as well try these, too!
Haha…I had to laugh at the "observations" and your responses! One of the things I like about cookie dough is that is is grainy…I mean, that's part of what makes if dough, right? 😉
I know these must be delicious….they look…and sound incredible!
They look perfect!
Criticism can be hard to take. It's good of you to go back and re-work it. The key to remember is that it's not a rejection of you – just the way the recipe was written or performs. I can tell from the tone of your post that you took the comments hard. Think about Cook's Illustrated and other test kitchens. They go through tons of recipe variations to find the perfect one!
These seriously look incredible, and I'd love one right now!
Maybe in Take 3, you can double the cookie dough layer, lol! Grainy as it may be, I love cookie dough. The brownies here look SO fudgy, yum!
LOL! Some people like to have everything made exactly their way and spoon fed to them. And yes, cookie dough IS grainy! Duh!
Love those "observations", we all get them….
You're the best for reworking the recipe, though!
I love cookie dough and when I see such a thick layer on top of brownies I must tell you that this is the perfect recipe! Definitely making it! Thanks!
I love your fun, candid post. Cookie dough is what it is and is SO good, grains and all. 🙂 These certainly do look like perfection! Katrina–Baking and Boys!
I love that these are super thick and fudgy looking 🙂
You are brilliant, Lori! I have no problem with grainy cookie dough…it's half the reason I make cookies in the first place. These are just too amazing!
I now have one serious craving, thanks to you Missy! I love the sarcasm. You're a better person than me though- I would've told 'em to kiss my a$$ 😉
Your cookie dough brownies is a recipe I've had bookmarked since you orig posted it and I just never got around to making it…now, I have reason to get busy!
I cannot believe the ahem….feedback….people gave you? I think they looked amazing and I think you are such a sweetheart to even attempt to troubleshoot the issues for folks. Bravo, Lori!
These look amazing! I can't wait to make them =]
These look delicious, Lori!
i made the original recipe last week for my co-workers as part of a farewell tour of treats as i left my former job. let me emphasize that there were zero complaints or "observations" as you so graciously phrased it. they are the bomb and hello, the grainy texture is what makes it cookie dough!!!!
I made these when you first posted the recipe, and they were a huge hit!! Grainy dough, is the reason you eat it! Otherwise you bake it into a cookie where it is no longer grainy 🙂 Nice of you to work work it though, I will have to try this one too!
I can't believe I missed your first recipe! Thanks for version number two!
Holy moly these look incredible. I totally wouldn't trust myself around a pan of these as I know I wouldn't be able to resist just one. A tall glass of milk and one of these could make my day for sure! 🙂
This reminds me of my favorite ice cream flavor! Can't wait to try these out, perfect picnic packing treats!
I've made the first version before and loved them. I had no issues with the grainy-ness but I did make brownies in a 9×9 pan so I agree that helps. As for the brownie layer itself, I cheated and used a boxed mix… I will have to try this new and improved version!
Lol I love the observations and responses, one of my favorite posts by far!
Can I just tell you how amazing you are that you made an even better version of something that was already so fantastically-out-of-this-world-to-die-for?!
Hi Lori 🙂
This looks great! Can you use brownie mix & cookie dough mix as well?
Cookie dough is supposed to be grainy–I totally agree! And I loved the tone of your post–it encourages me to "come out" a little bit more & show more of my true self! I loved this post! 🙂 Go, RecipeGirl!
The grainy texture is my favorite part of the cookie dough! yum
This looks fabulous!!! But I am curious if you could put the cookie dough on top and bake them both together? Mmm..
LOL, lovely and wonderful post! i'm sure i would love both versions if i tried them!
This looks sooooooooooo delicious!!! Lori, can this recipe be doubled, maybe making it in a 13″ X 9″ pan?? I'd love to make this for a crowd!!
You are the best! Testing and re-testing, that's why we love you. I'm pretty sure these brownies are perfect but I must try them to make sure!
In the process of making right now!!! Can't wait to try the final results! 😀
I love how the cookie dough layer is about as thick as the brownie layer!! Yummy yummy yummy!
You should know that I immediately made these yesterday as soon as I saw the post in your Twitter feed. I made them in a 10″ square pan and they were plenty thick! I wanted a few more quantity to take them into work, and — no surprise — they were a HUGE HIT! Thanks for yet another delicious, easy, amazing recipe that makes me look like a professional baker! Such rave reviews I tell you!!!
Thanks for "take 2" of these brownies. I liked the original recipe, but I'm looking forward to trying this one.
These look HEAVENLY!!! Love your photos too. 🙂 So excited for this cookbook!
LOVE cookie dough brownies! These look fantastic, Lori. Thanks for sharing that tip on freezing the brownies till they firm up.
So these are AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. soooo freaking good, I never tried the other version, I had pinned that page, but when I came back to it you had already posted this new and improved version, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Basically, this recipe takes two of my favorite desserts and combined them into one. The brownie part tastes like brownies (and I especially liked that it took chocolate, not cocoa powder since I don't have powder lol) and the cookie part tastes like cookie dough.
I had a small mishap when making it, in that I only had like a half a cup of granulated sugar left so I had to make it with powdered sugar (I used what I had left of the regular sugar in the brownie part since it is the part that's getting baked and things like that matter when you're baking). It still worked out, although I had to add an extra 1/4 cup of flour for the consistency to feel right for the cookie dough. I also only had regular size choc chips, but that was okay too.
This was so freaking good! (the only way it could be "improved" is to add a cheesecake layer then I could get all my favorite desserts in one! hmmmm….) But be aware that you can only eat one small square of this, it is super rich and super thick!
Also I would like to add that you really do have to refrigerate it until it is solid before cutting and eating, it makes a huge difference! I ate a piece last night after only about one hour of refrigeration and then another piece this morning (yup, I had it for breakfast… I'm that cool) and it was so much better this morning because the consistency was much thicker and subsequently easier to bite.
I had no problems with the dough adhering to the brownie or anything, just fyi. and for the graininess complainers, even with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar it was still grainy (I did use brown sugar though). I like it grainy so I was pleased; I didn't use powdered on purpose I just didn't want to go to the store at 9pm.
I am so glad I found your blog, you are a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to try these. Thank you!
This look so incredibly amazing. I can't stop thinking about them! Must make soon!!!
I've seen the your first version floating around pinterest here and there… I have to say they look pretty darn good… as do these!! I think I need to try them very very very soon…
PS… Cookie dough really does need to be grainy… that's part of what makes it cookie dough! All that sugar YUM!
I'm really excited to try the new version. I made this last year for my 11 year olds birthday and he and his friends LOVED it, I will admit that I wasn't loving the brownie as much as the cookie dough (because it wasn't as fudgy as I like and well I'm a brownie girl hands down with cookie dough coming in a VERY, VERY close 2nd)..so now that you made the brownie even more fudgy (or is it fudgier…not sure that's a word! LOL) anyways I can't wait to make them again and see if I go from really like this to loving it! Oh and anyone who doesn't think the cookie dough shouldn't be grainy, ummm..hello it's supposed to be!
Oh boy! These brownies look super-delicious! I live in South-Africa and here we don't have the cookie dough obsession………….maybe because we just haven't tried it yet? But I guess it's time I try it, because you guys can't be raving on every food page about it if it wasn't worth it! You have cookie dough with just about everything! Sounds to me like we're missing out!
To me the "grainy"-part sounds delicious (I read "crunch"?) and all those chocolate chips!!!! Yummy!
Let me teach you an Afrikaans word: LEKKER! (to pronounce it correctly, it allmost sounds like "lacquer", but you have to accentuate the "r" – and the more you do, the better the meaning ) and it means: sweet, pleasure, delectable, delicious, pleasant, luscious – and that's what these brownies look like to me! Lekkerrrrrr!!! I can't wait to try them!
Wow, these look amazing. Brownies & Cookie dough are two of my favourite things, so together I can't even begin to imagine how divine these must taste!
Looks like perfecting to me! Yum!
The sugary graininess is cookie dough is out favorite!!! These are perfection, Lori!
I made these last night and they are AMAZING! Followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect. Couldn't resist taking a pic – not only do they taste great, they look pretty too! http://instagr.am/p/LVWijUqVy-/ I just happened to stumble upon your blog but you can bet I'll be back for more 🙂
I have a pan of the first version of chocolate chip cookie dough brownies in my fridge right now. They are AMAZING. I think the brownie layer is great, and it just got fudgier the longer it sat in the fridge. It it like chocolate chip cookie dough brownie fudge, in my opinion. I haven't had any problem with the top sticking to the base, and I followed your footnote to double the cookie dough layer so I think the layers are perfectly proportioned. It is crazy addictive and super rich and delicious. I am interested in trying this version though, to compare. For, uh, science. 🙂
my oh my! those look decadently delicious! you had me at cookie dough! thanks for sharing!
Seems like we're both in a chocolate chip cookie dough brownie mood this week! I just posted the recipe from The Cookie DOugh Lover's Cookbook, but I'll have to give your version a try. Love how crazy thick both layers are!
I used milk chocolate instead of the bitter in brownies. These are the best brownies I have ever had. The cookie dough topping tastes like cookie dough yummmmm!
These are STUNNING!!!! And, oh boy, my FAVORITE ingredient – CHOCOLATE!!!
Must try these!
Thanks, Lori!!! 😀
Wow – these look amazing – would love to try making them.
These look wonderful! I haven't tried your first recipe, but I understand how frustrating it is to hear those observations. I love how thick the cookie dough layer is in this one!
oh my word… these look SOOOO good!!!!!!
I'm making these tonight and I cannot wait!!! They look fabulous and I'm sure they taste incredible!
I can´t wait to make them! And was wondering: maybe there´s a way to mix some colour into this recipe? Taste will change of course (sorry brownie-lovers!), but I think cookie dough goes well with soooo many other flavours!
These are life changing brownies!!!! I made them last night following the recipe exact, and was blown away. I made them as a thank you gift for a friend with 2 young boys. She's already offering me more hand-me-down toys for my son, I think she really liked my "thankyou" :). Thank you so much for sharing!!!
could you use boxed brownies as a short cut ??????
Now those brownies look seriously good!
this is a very greasy recipe, wasted alot of time and ingredents
When I made this recipe, the dough seemed to be really pasty. I added more brown sugar and flour to give it more of a soft version of cookie dough. I would also suggest adding half the butter and replacing it with some sour cream to the brownie to give it a more chewy texture.
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this recipe, but I made these brownies and they are the BEST thing I ever ate! I'm lazy, so I skipped your actual brownie directions and used a box of Betty Crocker fudge brownies, baked them in a 9×9 pan for 28 minutes and added the cookie dough layer to the top after it cooled. The first batch I made for a party, along with 7 other sweet treats, and these brownies were the first to disappear. I made another batch for my home because my family liked them so much and despite my diet I've been creeping around my kitchen in the middle of the night like a crackhead, eating brownies and promising myself that I'll count my calories and give the rest of them away in the morning. I love'em more than wedding cake, I love'em so much I wanna drive around town handing them to strangers because I think everyone deserves to eat these…maybe the sugar has gotten to me a little bit. Thanks for the great recipe.
i came across this website accidentally. the browny caught my attention.. looks absolutely yummy and tempting!! the mere look of it motivated me to start making it. am really happy to tell you that I made these yummy brownies for my baby's first birthday..
my husband loved it.. so there is another new ingredient that got automatically added to my browny.. 'Love..!' Thank you Lori!
My cousin wanted to know the recipe. she too visited this page..
i also shared the photos with her to let her know about each stage.. also let me tell you that all those interested in cooking and would love to share the photos as and when you cook that too only with people whom you choose, check out LiveAlbum. ASAP..
Thank you once again Lori..!
I want to use the brownie part of this recipe for another brownie bar you had posted a while back (http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/08/better-than-crack-brownies/), but that recipe calls for a 9×13, and yours calls for a 9×9. Am I still able to use your recipe by cooking them for less time? What would you suggest? Thank you!
My new boo thang is a major chocolate lover. I think I'm gonna make these for him this weekend, I'm sure he'll love them. But in the meantime I'm going to run to Coldstone and get some ice cream with GRAINY pieces of cookie dough 😉
i needed to make these with truvia so my step father could eat them too (he has sugar problems) they didnt come out nearly as fudgy as i had hoped, not sure if the sugar thing did that or maybe i did something wrong, they are sort of bread-like.. the cookie dough is fine it is extreamly rich so i dont think anyone could handle more then one at a time of them. all in all i do enjoy them, next time i may use a box mix for the brownies and real sugar in the cookie dough though! Thanks
Hi Lori,
I am making the chocolate chip cookie dough brownies for a BBQ tomorrow and I wanted to see if were ok to make box mixes and refrigerate overnight to then just bake in the morning? I have already made the brownie mixture but wanted to check with you first before I did the same for the cookie dough.
Thank you & I look forward to serving this scrumptious treat!
For me these didn't come out quite the same, but I also didn't have bittersweet chocolate chips so maybe that's part of the reason. I think the original version was better. But I tried this one b/c we were running low on brown sugar… well, we'll see what my husband thinks when he gets home… lol 🙂
Well he really really liked them! He liked both versions a lot! 😉 Toooo much sugar… but they are yummy!
Very tempting and so pretty! I must try them. Would probably cut down on the sugar, though.
How far in advance can I make these delicious sweets?
If I make way in advance, can I freeze the batches?
First of, awesome way on taking criticism! I love it.
Second… OMGosh these look amazing! I would love one of these right now with coffee. YUM!
So I didnt make the brownies but I did use your cookie dough recipe to have in my freezer and eat! Its amazing!
I am not the type to cook or bake. But these chocolate chip cookie dough brownies may be just the inspiration I need. They look absolutely delicious. Wow!
absolutely delicious! I will be making these again. My brother asked if I was trying to make him diabetic! haha <3
I have had trouble baking these twice! They are delicious but I cant seem to get the brownies to bake evenly. Any advice? Also I am thinking about starting a blog of what I cook and bake. Do you mind if I link this recipe?
Made these yesterday…breakfast today! Yum! My mistake was making the frosting when the brownies were in the oven. 😉 Thanks for a very easy homemade dessert!
Hi, i would like to make these for my classmates at school but the yield isn't quite enough. I wanted to make about 30 or so of these brownies like the yield for the orginal cookie dough brownie recipe. How would I do that using this recipe?
Oh my…I am a chocolate addict and would LOVE these. Thanks for making it easy and including a print button on some of your fabulous recipes. I hope you keep them coming. I just have to try this.
I have been making the original recipe for months.I love the brownie recipe and undercook a bit to make them fudgy. My daughter took some in her lunch today and she said her friends fought over them. I think the original was amazing, so I'm sure these will be even more so.
Yes please. I just stumbled across this recipe while searching the internet for something to bake. I am so going to try this!! 🙂 Yum!
I ended up having every ingredient in my pantry except mini chips (I only had regular). I made these today and used the regular chips and I added a teaspoon of instant espresso powder in the brownie batter to enhance the chocolate flavor. SUPER YUM! I will make them again. Thanks for posting this recipe! 🙂 Sweet tooth satisfied. 🙂
PS–I used a 13X9X2 pan for the above recipe(s) and they worked just fine, times and all! 🙂
I made a 9×13″ pan of these tonight. Do I need to refrigerate the leftovers? It might be the kitchen light but the cookie dough might look a little darker than earlier this evening?? I don't like hard chocolate chips so I would prefer to not refrigerate, but if they are going to get yucky if I don't… What do you do?
These look delicious. Trying them today but doesn't the brownie layer need a leveling agent?
There's no baking powder or soda or anything..
Is it possible to bake the cookie dough with the brownie? Maybe 10 minutes before the brownies is done i'll put the cookie dough on top and bake it together.
I just whipped this up…is the cookie dough soft or did i mess up. Its been chilling for hours and is super soft. I don't want to top the brownies unless its right.
I just made these but I misread the recipe and didn't let the brownies cool before putting the cookie dough on. They are chilling in the fridge, hopefully it all firms up :/. I did sneak a llittle bite and so far, they are absolutely delicious!
Thank you for posting these!!!
Well, now I HAVE to make BOTH versions and test taste them. It is a tough sacrifice, but I am willing to make it for you…(please note the sarcasm and do not send angry hate mail.) I think you are awesome and really you can't please everyone. But you are sure sweet to try and we all benefit! 🙂
A new Fan
hello, i am making these brownies and i was wounding how many calories are in each brownie if you could let me know that would be awesome
thank you
Just ate them. Wow! In love. Thanks for this recipe. Perfect.

Mickelson suffers most agonising Open near-miss
Pennsylvania: Phil Mickelson`s heartbreaking sixth US Open runner-up finish without a victory is the toughest of them all to take, he said, in part because he saw it as his best chance to end the jinx.
On his 43rd birthday, Mickelson yet again settled for a share of second place on Sunday at Merion, with England`s Justin Rose capturing his first major crown by two strokes over the American left-hander and Australian Jason Day.
"This week was my best opportunity, I felt heading in, certainly the final round, the way I was playing and the position I was in," Mickelson said.
"This one`s probably the toughest for me because at 43 and coming so close five times, it would have changed way I look at this tournament and the way I would have looked at my record -- except I just keep feeling heartbreak."
Mickelson is only one shy of the career record of seven runner-up finishes in the same major held by Jack Nicklaus from the British Open. The 18-time major winner was second at the British Open in 1964, 1967, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1977 and 1979.
But more importantly, Nicklaus won the British Open in 1966, 1970 and 1978.
"If I had won today or if I ultimately win, I`ll look back at the other Opens and think that it was a positive thing," Mickelson said.
"If I never get the Open, then I look back and I think that every time I think of the US Open, I just think of heartbreak."
Mickelson previously finished second to the late Payne Stewart at Pinehurst in 1999, Tiger Woods at Bethpage in 2002, Retief Goosen at Shinnecock in 2004, Geoff Ogilvy at Winged Foot in 2006 and Lucas Glover at Bethpage in 2009.
"It`s very heartbreaking," Mickelson said. "This could have been a really big turnaround for me on how I look at the US Open and the tournament that I`d like to win after having so many good opportunities."
After leading at the end of each of the first three rounds and especially after sinking a 76-yard eagle from the rough at the 10th hole to take the lead in the final round, Mickelson`s thought his long-sought victory was in reach.
"To see that ball go in, I really thought that I was in a good position," Mickelson said. "I also knew, though, that I wasn`t ahead of anybody by much... but that shot vaulted me up and allowed me to be more patient."
But Mickelson surrendered the lead after bogeys at the par-3 13th and par-4 15th following bad wedge shots. Those will haunt him when he looks back at what seemed to be a date with destiny at Merion.
"Those wedge shots on 13 and 15 are the two I will look back on," Mickelson said after going over the 13th green and being short and left at 15. "Those two wedge shots were the two costly shots.
"I had good opportunities all the way through and let it slide little bit. But all day it seemed as though, until that hole out on 10, it seemed like I would hit putt after putt that wouldn`t go in."
Mickelson`s day began with a long birdie putt lip-out on the first hole and a short one at the second. He followed with double bogeys at the third and fifth around a birdie at the fourth.
"I should have made bogeys on those holes and I let them become doubles," he said. "And those were costly doubles."

As you drive in to the parking lot at Cherry Lawn Park, watch out for little ones darting in and out from between the parked cars — this playground has EVERYTHING, for kids of ALL ages — including a nice clean public restroom.
Set against the backdrop of sprawling green lawns, tennis courts, a massive garden and a serene pond with gazebo, the Cherry Lawn Park playground offers 2 — yes, TWO — complete playgrounds as well as a basketball court.
There is a toddler playground, filled with sand and safely enclosed by a security fence, which offers a smaller-scale playgym (the slides are lower and everything is miniturized) as well as little play houses and other formations for stepping in and out of and climbing on safely. There is also a toddler swingset with plenty of safety swings (which we know can distract even the most rambunctious toddler for at least 15 minutes)!
For the older kids, there is an enormous larger-scale playgym just beyond the toddler park that includes swirly slides, monkey bars, bouncy bridges, tire swings and more.
Enjoy this video tour of the playground.
Cherry Lawn Park is also home to the fabulous Darien Nature Center, which offers a variety of enrichment programs and events throughout the year.
So if you are looking for a fun way to spend some QT with the kids, or maybe meet other moms to enjoy a little adult conversation, or want to give your babysitter some ideas for ways to entertain the kids, definitely pack a picnic lunch and head over to Cherry Lawn for hours of fun on the playgrounds and wide open space beyond.

Push for ERA ratification continues
Published 7:57 pm, Sunday, August 10, 2014
Drafted by a suffragette in 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment has been stirring up controversy ever since. Many opponents considered it dead when a 10-year ratification push failed in 1982, yet its backers on Capitol Hill, in the Illinois statehouse and elsewhere are making clear this summer that the fight is far from over.
In Washington, Reps. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, and Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., are prime sponsors of two pieces of legislation aimed at getting the amendment ratified. They recently organized a pro-ERA rally, evoking images of the 1970s, outside the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Recent Supreme Court decisions have sent women's rights back to the Stone Age," said Speier, explaining the renewed interest in the ERA. The amendment would stipulate that equal rights cannot be denied or curtailed on the basis of gender.
Participants in the July 24 rally directed much of their ire at the Supreme Court's recent Hobby Lobby ruling. In a 5-4 decision, with the majority comprised of five male justices, the court allowed some private businesses to opt out of the federal health care law's requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge.
"They could not have made the Hobby Lobby ruling with an ERA," Maloney said.
Meanwhile, in Illinois, battle lines are being drawn for a likely vote this fall in the state House of Representatives on whether to ratify the ERA. The state Senate approved the ratification resolution on a 39-11 vote in May, and backers hope for a similar outcome in the House after it reconvenes in November.
If the amendment gets the required three-fifths support in the House, Illinois would become the 36th state to ratify the ERA. Thirty-eight states' approval is required to ratify an amendment - but the ERA's possible road to ratification is complicated by its history.
The Illinois resolution's chief sponsor in the Democrat-controlled House, Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang - who said he was close to securing the 71 votes needed for approval - is motivated in part by Illinois' role in the ERA drama of the 1970s. Back then, the Legislature's failure to ratify the amendment was a crucial blow to the national campaign.
One of the leading opponents of the ERA during the 1970s was conservative Illinois lawyer Phyllis Schlafly, who helped mobilize public opinion against the amendment.
Schlafly's allies in Illinois are gearing up to fight the amendment in the House. The Illinois Family Institute contends the ERA would force women into military combat, invalidate privacy protections for bathrooms and locker rooms, undermine child support judgments, and jeopardize social payments to widows.
Lang scoffs at such predictions and says the federal ERA could be a valuable tool in ensuring fair treatment for women in the workplace and in financial transactions.
Written by Alice Paul, a leader of the women's suffrage movement, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced annually in Congress from 1923 to 1970, when congressional hearings began in the heyday of the modern feminist movement. In 1972, the ERA won overwhelming approval in both chambers and was forwarded to the 50 state legislatures in search of the needed 38 votes to ratify.
Congress set a deadline of 1979, at which point 35 states had ratified the ERA. The deadline was extended to 1982, but no more states came on board, and the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that the ERA was dead.
Aside from Illinois, there have been few signs that any additional states are on the verge of ratifying the ERA.
In Congress, ERA supporters have introduced two measures in pursuit of ratification.
One - known as the "three-state strategy" - is a resolution that would nullify the 1982 deadline so that only three more states would need to ratify the ERA in addition to the 35 that did so in the 1970s.
The other measure would restart the process, requiring passage of the ERA by a two-thirds majority in the U.S. Senate and House, followed by ratification by legislatures in three-quarters of the 50 states.

The rise of the Polaroid in the not-so-distance future, evidentby Gareth Mankoo
The newest alliance that we are all raving of is that of Polaroid and The Impossible Project. The by-product of this is an instant film called 'Polaroid Calling', which is expected in waves of six to ten products in a year that will pack a complete Polaroid branding. It's been a while now that we have seeing some good stuff from the Impossible Project. Polaroid seem quite intent in reviving the ancient art of photography with their typical photography method that promised instant image delivery.
The time for Polaroid camera is long past. We are in a time where it's all going digital. Polaroid seems to provide the last few physical pleasures of clicked images.

Water Banks, the ESA and the Public Trust Doctrine
Matt Jenkin's article "Liquid assets" in the October 27th edition is a good introduction to Water Banking – a concept which westerners are likely to hear used increasingly if predictions of diminished water supplies resulting from climate change are accurate. But the article only scratches the surface of a subject which West-watchers will want to know a lot more about. And – because taxpayer funds are often involved in financing the operation of water banks as well as in some cases the water purchases themselves – it can be argued that everyday citizens need to better understand what is involved.
Fortunately, there is a goodly amount of information readily at hand. Most of the information on water banks aims to educate farmers and ranchers, many of whom have been encouraged by property rights extremists to view water banks as a socialist plot designed by government bureaucrats and environmentalists to undermine water rights. On the other side of the spectrum some river advocates view water banks as part of an attempt to turn what were intended as use rights into property rights that are not attached to specific uses. If water rights become like other property rights, these folks assert, the Public Trust Doctrine will have been all but destroyed with respect to water resources. From this perspective water banks are seen as part of a world-wide movement to privatize water resources.
Part of the confusion over water banks is the result of the fact that the term has been used to describe institutional arrangements that are radically different and which have different legal implications.
The water banks described in the Jenkins' article are of what we might call the classic variety:
Water banking in its most generalized sense is an institutionalized process specifically designed to facilitate the transfer of developed water to new uses. Broadly speaking, a water bank is an intermediary. Like a broker, it seeks to bring together buyers and sellers. Unlike a broker, however, it is an institutionalized process with known procedures and with some kind of public sanction for its activities." (from: Lawrence J. MacDonnell,"Water Banks: Untangling the Gordian Knot of Western Water," 1995).
In the current California program, for example, the State Water Resources Control Board is expediting temporary transfer of water rights from those willing to lease water to which they have a right (generally farmers) to those who want or need to purchase water during the current drought. The latter category includes farmers and municipalities. This arrangement does not appear to have implications for the Public Trust Doctrine.
But the term has also been applied (some argue inappropriately) to schemes designed to lease water for in stream uses. The Bureau of Reclamation's Klamath Water Bank is of this type. In recent years the Bureau has used taxpayer funds to lease water from irrigators in order to meet the needs of threatened and endangered species – Kuptu and Tsuam (two species of sucker fish) and Coho salmon. In this way the Bureau and the Bush Administration have been able to meet flow and lake level requirements ordered pursuant to the federal Endangered Species Act without curtailing the irrigation deliveries which prompted protests and civil disobedience in 2001 gaining national attention.
It has also been argued that the recently proposed Agreement to settle water disputes in the Klamath River Basin would institutionalize the Bureau's Klamath Water Bank, requiring ongoing expenditure of taxpayer funds to lease water from irrigators in order to meet the flow needs of Coho and Chinook salmon in the Klamath River during dry years. This proposal has been criticized for a number of reasons including undermining the Public Trust Doctrine.
The Bureau of Reclamation has also been involved in purchasing water for an Environmental Water Account authorized for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta by federal legislation. The "environmental water" is supposed to be used to provide for ESA listed species in the Delta without disrupting the irrigation water supply. However, it has been criticized as mostly benefiting corporate agriculture and as inconsistent with the state's public trust responsibilities.
Since the Public Trust Doctrine was used over 20 years ago to restore water to Mono Lake, which the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water Agency had been diverting to fill bathtubs and swimming pools in the Los Angeles area, legal scholars have been debating how the ancient doctrine -- which had its origins in the Roman Emperor Justinian's legal code -- might, will or should impact how water is used in the American West. Recently the scholars have explored the intersection of state water law and the Endangered Species Act with the Public Trust Doctrine and this has led to wildly conflicting suggestions. For example, there are scholars like Richard Roos-Collins at the San Francisco-based Natural Heritage Institute who want state regulators to use the Public Trust Doctrine to restore California rivers and streams and other lawyers who suspect the Public Trust Doctrine might enable those same regulators to ignore the needs of fish which are listed as threatened or endangered. Meanwhile the California Farm Bureau and others apparently would like to see the Public Trust Doctrine relegated to the dustbin of history.
These issues may soon come to a head in California where – in the midst of what may turn out to be the most significant drought in modern times - fishing interests are pushing the State Water Resources Control Board to apply the Public Trust Doctrine to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and to the federal water project which pumps water from the Delta to corporate farms and California municipalities to the south.

Plans and wishes
> Go elsewhere, yeah great idea, especially in field of supply that totals just two companies.
Nothing is stopping anybody from creating a new company and outcompeting the existing providers by being more trustworthy and offering better standards of service.
> Your present solution allows companies to claim they are providing professionals to carry out cryonic procedures and then send out unqualified and inexperienced amateurs (not to mention Satanists and "vampires") without redress.
Nobody is stopping anybody from proving those claims wrong. Nobody is forcing anybody to purchase service from Satanists, vampires, or unqualified and inexperienced amateurs.
And again, unqualified is your *subjective* opinion. Other people may actually want to purchase service from those exact people.

There are some cases where debsums should IMHO consider things differently. In particular I mean those corresponding to files shipped under "/var" with "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" md5sum (empty files created with touch). These are clearly placeholders, being dpkg used to remove/reset them instead of doing things from maintainer scripts. Whether that makes sense or not depends on the package. -- Agustin

Click the image below on your iPhone to begin the alignment process
The Android app makes it super easy to set up your phone so it is perfectly aligned within the Freefly VR headset, ensuring optimum results.
The app guides you through the process, but is not essential and iPhone users are invited to click on this guide to explain how to align your phone correctly.
Virtual reality for phones is still very new. However, there is a growing range of experiences available, but finding the hidden gems can be time consuming!
So within the Freefly VR is a selection of curated titles that we think you will love! Further titles will be added over time, and you will be notified of new additions via your top bar.
All of our suggestions do not require external controllers. Once we launch our own controller, we will add titles with controller support.
Please note, there are many variations of Android devices. All the titles we suggest are from third parties, so we cannot guarantee the performance of individual titles. Please contact the individual developer of a game not performing correctly.
Select a tile to read more information about the game.
To play, press the Play symbol. You will then be directed to Google Play and invited to Install the game. Once the game has finished downloading, it will automatically play.
That game will now be stored on your phone, and the next time you play the game via the Freefly VR app, it will automatically play.
If you wish to play the game outside of the Freefly VR app, you will be able to access it via the icon on one of your home screens or menu.Android only. Minimum version – 4.4
It is important that there is only one Freefly VR app running. If you minimalise the app, without fully closing it, and start the app again, it may crash.
Please ensure all apps are closed before loading.
The alignment process will only work correctly if the entire screen of your phone is available.
Some Android phones feature touch screen home buttons that remain on the screen even when an app is running.
Once the Freefly VR app is installed on your phone, you will need to adjust the settings so your home screen buttons are removed.
The process to do this varies between different phone manufacturers, but you should look out for Settings, Display Settings, Home Touch Buttons, and then select which app you wish to hide the Home Touch Buttons on.
If you have trouble finding these settings, do not hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com with the model of your phone.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immunologically mediated, recurrent and universal inflammatory disorder. Approximately one third of adults refer onset before 16 years of age. The sooner the onset, the worse is the prognosis. In children, lesions may be physically disfiguring, leading to psychological impairment and evident loss of quality of life. Systemic therapy used in psoriasis, as well as phototherapy, has limited use in children due to accumulative effects of drugs, low acceptance, and risk of teratogenicity. In this section, we discuss the main clinical aspects of psoriasis in childhood and adolescence, differential diagnosis, therapeutic options, and prognosis.
