Nice! Support activated!
the game is on my mobile and it's too great
one downside i have just that if you kill a ton of sticks, their all lying down in the same position, why dont you add more positions of death? like if it was killed by a giant, it would be flattened or something like that.
a better alternative to that would be if you abandon that account because that way you won't have to beetlejuice me everytime you post
But yeah a death position with a stick face-down ass-up would be good
Smile is actually the name of one of my favorite creepypastas and in the vid the song goes like SMILE SMILE SMILE alot and thats why i had my username llike that so im not beetlejuicing you, whatever that means.

Thank you to Priceless Joy for hosting FFftAW. Let her know what an amazing job she's doing 🙂
Sweet Caroline waited for her rider, Joy (who was attending a party at the neighbor's ranch) when Caroline heard a terrified yap from beside her. It was a heat-sick puppy trapped in a car.
Caroline had heard Joy saying certain people were ignorant, believing it was fine to leave a pet in the car when the temperature was boiling inside.
The puppy whimpered and with all her might, Caroline kicked a window out of the car with her hoof.
Joy ran when she heard the car window shatter and Caroline whiny. She gasped, observing the languishing puppy inside.
Taking both Caroline and the puppy just outside the party tents, Joy gave the thirsty puppy bottled water and scraps of meat from the buffet.
A furious couple Joy recognized, approached her wanting their puppy back, but Joy refused. Instead, she dialled the local RCMP and reported the couple, for leaving their dog in a hot car.
Sweet Caroline nuzzled her puppy friend as the puppy slept on Joy's shoulder.

If the path of a wave is interrupted by a steep obstruction, it changes course and heads back out to sea. As it flows towards the incoming waves, it collides with the next wave in the set, to form a dramatic backwash. In his Backwash series, JP depicts the instant before the two waves meet. JP has fond memories of growing up learning to surf in the backwash on the south shore of Oahu.

Wireless communications in the 5.2-GHz band has gained a great deal in popularity in recent years, prompting an increased need for high-performance components at reasonable prices. In addition to good electrical performance, wireless systems designers also seek highly integrated circuits capable of operating at low voltages and low power levels.1 One of the key components for wireless applications in the 5.2-GHz band, such as wireless local area network (WLAN) transceivers, is the RF mixer. It is a critical component for achieving good linearity, although such performance typically requires higher power consumption. Fortunately, the authors developed a downconversion mixer for fabrication in 0.18-m silicon CMOS semiconductor technology that employs a current-reuse technique for enhanced power economy. It is designed to downconvert an RF input signal at 5.2 GHz to an intermediate-frequency (IF) output at 200 MHz while consuming only 6 mW power.
High-frequency mixers for wireless applications are often based on a conventional Gilbert cell mixer topology, owing to the benefits of an active CMOS mixer design (such as good port-to-port isolation and low even-order distortion).2 However, one of the limitations of a conventional Gilbert mixer is linearity, along with poor conversion gain and high power consumption because of the voltage-to-current conversion of the design's source-coupled device pair. There are three ways to overcome these limitations.3-5 Four PMOSFETs can be used as switches to form a folded mixer structure.3 This type of structure provides high conversion gain because of the folded structure, but still suffers from high power consumption because of its small injection current.
A low-voltage downconversion architecture with an LC tank circuit was reported in ref. 6. It allowed for a large output voltage swing because the LC tank reduced the voltage headroom problem, but the approach still required a relatively large chip size and suffered from narrowband operation. A low-voltage mixer design reported in ref. 5 featured decreased voltage and power consumption by means of its current enhanced and negative-resistance compensation, although the linearity was low. Many wireless designs require short stand-by times, low voltage, and low power consumption in order to minimize the size of the batteries required.6 So, in this proposed mixer, techniques of current injection and a current mirror were enlisted to decrease the operating voltage and increase the conversion gain. Current reuse and source-level feedback inductors were used to boost the linearity.
Designing a downconversion mixer involves numerous challenges, including achieving a good input impedance match, high voltage gain, low noise figure, high linearity, and low power consumption. For example, Fig. 1 shows a traditional downconversion mixer based on an active Gilbert-cell configuration.
For large conversion gain and high input third-order intercept point (IIP3) with low power dissipation, the RF stage is designed to operate in its saturation region while the LO stage should operate in a device off state. In this mixer topology, currents i1 and i2 can be found from Eqs. 1 and 2:
i1 = IRF + 0.5gm1VRFcos?RFt (1)
i2 = IRF + 0.5gm2VRFcos?RFt (2)
The output current can be found from Eq. 3:
iIF = (i3 - i4) - (i5 - i6) (3)
The conversion gain of the mixer can be approximated7 by Eq. 4:
Av gmRL(2/p)0.5
(Vgs - Vt)sw/(pVLO)> (4)
In Eq. 4, parameters gm and RL denote the transconductance of RF stage and the output load resistor, respectively. The term (Vgs - Vt)sw denotes the overdrive voltage of switch transistor. To achieve high IIP3 and conversion gain, a large current and load RL are necessary in the mixer architecture. Unfortunately, having a large current leads to high power consumption while a large load resistance, RL, can raise noise levels and decrease linearity, resulting in compromises in conversion gain, linearity, and power consumption.8,9
In a Gilbert cell mixer, the linearity is largely determined by the RF transconductance. As a result, a large part of the design effort is spent finding ways to establish a current mode of operation, such as by using degeneration resistors in the source. Unfortunately, source degeneration resistors will increase the noise level, degrading overall performance.
In contrast to a traditional mixer, the proposed mixer achieves high linearity and high conversion gain through the use of a four-layer structure. Figure 2 shows the proposed mixer circuit. In a traditional mixer circuit, the limited injection current yields only small conversion gain and low linearity. To increase the injection current, the proposed mixer architecture has a four-layer structure with series connected source level and current mirror circuit (M11 - M12). This approach not only improves linearity and conversion gain, but also reduces the required operating voltage and power consumption.10,11 PMOS transistors Mp1 and Mp2 provide the extra bleed current in the mixer circuit. The transconductance stage (M7 - M10) employs a current-reuse technique which can help improve conversion gain. To minimize the effects of noise, inductors L3 and L4 are used for source degeneration rather than resistors, which will also help improve the mixer's linearity12,13 The gate-source capacitance added by capacitors C3 and C4 to devices M1 and M2 helps reduce the matching inductance value required. At high frequencies, capacitors C1 and C2 can be approximated by a short circuit. The use of inductors L1 and L2 decreases the parasitic capacitances within the transconductance stage while also improving the mixer's noise and linearity performance. The resistive load RL is used to adjust the circuit to achieve conversion gain and output impedance matching.
The proposed low-power mixer was designed for and fabricated in a 0.18-m RF CMOS semiconductor process. It was simulated with the help of the SpectreRF computer-aided-engineering (CAE) software from Cadence Design Systems. Figure 3 shows the layout of the mixer cell. The mixer downconverts RF input signals at 5.2 GHz to an IF at 200 MHz by means of a 5-GHz local oscillator (LO) signal. Since power amplifiers are available in wireless transmit sections for increasing signal gain, a value of -1 dBm was chosen for the LO signal, resulting in 5.6-dB conversion gain in the mixer as shown in Fig. 4.
A measurement of the mixer's IIP3 performance was obtained by means of two-tone testing, with simulated IIP3 performance shown in Fig. 5. It was found to deliver an IIP3 of +14.3 dBm with 1-MHz RF input frequency spacing. Compared with a traditional Gilbert cell mixer, this new design provided linearity improved by about 5 dB. The table shows the performance and simulated results for the proposed mixer with several other mixers from recent literature studies. Figure 6 shows different noise-figure performance levels for different IFs. The noise figure at 200 MHz is about 13.8 dB.
In summary, the mixer achieved good linearity with promising performance for wireless applications in the 5.2-GHz band. The use of current bleeding helped boost linearity, without compromising power consumption, which was still excellent at only about 6 mW from a +1.2-VDC low voltage supply.

New data from the State Board of Elections show far fewer voters lack photo identification than critics of a voter ID bill suggest.
The new information roughly halves the potential number of registered voters without photo ID from the 612,000 in a January report to about 318,000.
The detailed figures were provided Tuesday to The Associated Press by North Carolina House Republicans and later confirmed in a draft report from the State Board of Elections. The voter ID bill comes up for debate in the state House this week.
Ray Starling, general counsel for Speaker Thom Tillis, argues the number is likely even less because about 115,000 of those identified in the latest analysis have not voted in the last five elections.
"We feel pretty confident that if you didn't vote in the last five elections, you're not going to," he said.
That conclusion was supported by Board of Elections Director Gary Bartlett, who said he expects to release a written report Wednesday.
"There are a very minimal number of voters who just have not voted that resurface" to cast votes for special issues or candidates, he said.
Legislation that would require voters to present one of eight state-issued forms of ID at the polls has drawn fierce criticism from civil rights groups and others who argue such laws are Republican efforts to suppress turnout among Democratic-leaning groups. A 2011 attempt to pass voter ID legislation failed, but Republicans now hold veto-proof majorities in the General Assembly and Gov. Pat McCrory supports their efforts.
The new bill originally included a provision waiving fees for state-issued ID only for those who swear they can't afford to pay under penalty of perjury, but an updated version removes costs for all registered voters who say they lack the documents needed to obtain ID.
Jordan Shaw, Tillis' communications director, said the removal of the perjury-enforced oath along with the new figures bolster Republican claims that critics exaggerate the potential effects of the bill.
"I think what you'll see during this voter ID debate...tomorrow is an effort by a shrinking number of people to attack not based on the merits of the bill but based on partisan reasons," he said.
But Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham and an opponent of the bill, questioned the intent behind the bill change.
"This is about getting through the courts and Section Five of the Voting Rights Act," he said.
Bob Hall, director of Democracy North Carolina, said he always expected the number of voters without ID to be revised downward, but the new figures still far outnumber documented cases of voter fraud.
"That's (still) so many more than any voter fraud involving impersonation that anyone has shown," he said. "We're talking about magnitudes far above any evidence that would justify putting these folks through extra burdens."
Hall also cautioned against drawing conclusions before the racial breakdown of the new figures is fully evaluated by the public, because studies show minority voters are disproportionately affected by voter ID legislation.
Previous estimates cross-referenced registered voter lists with Division of Motor Vehicles records to arrive at a number of potential voters who may lack ID. The latest analysis expanded the combinations of personal data that could produce a match.
The bill is scheduled for debate in the House Elections Committee Wednesday.

The Southwood varsity baseball took the cold ride to Peru Saturday to battle the Tigers in a double header. With pitching dominating game one and offense in game two, Peru took two from the Knights 5-1 and 14-13.
Jackson Blair was on the mound in game one, giving up just 2 hits and 2 earned runs in five innings while striking out 7, but the Knight offense just could not get to the Peru pitching.
Robbie Cole went 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. Jackson Blair was 0 for 1, drawing 3 walks. Nathan Hollars had 1 rbi.
Coach Holtzleiter " Jackson gave us a solid start, we played solid defense and had runners on all game. We just couldn't push runs across. Prinerano from Peru was dominate on the mound."
In game two the Knights had no problem plating runs, but neither did Peru. Southwood scored in every inning except the fifth in the 14-13 loss.
The Knights used a foursome of pitching. Matt Porter, Kyle Weaver, Colin Gouveia and Nathan Hollars all seen action. Ten of the fourteen Peru runs were earned, with ten walks by Knight pitching being the down fall.
Jackson Blair went 1 for 4 with 1 double, 1 triple and a walk. Robbie Cole was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and scored twice. Luke Elliott was 1 for 4, driving in 3. Jacob Lloyd scored twice and had 2 rbi's.
Coach Holtzleiter " We played well offensively. We just walked to many batters. This is a game we have to learn to win if we are going to develop into a championship level team."

2012 was full of a lot of new experiences for me. I was approached at the beginning of the year to begin speaking on dysphagia for PESI. My first speaking engagements were in North Carolina in December. I absolutely loved it! Granted, I still have some kinks to iron out in the professional speaking world, but all in all, I thought it went pretty well. I can't wait for my next speaking engagement in January down south again, then in Illinois in June. I continued work on my BRS-S and finally was accepted! Not only accepted, I passed my test! I can now officially put BRS-S after my name. Such long-sought and hard-earned letters!
Soon after I earned my BRS-S, I was promoted to Rehab Director of our department. I'm still learning the ropes and working on improving our department. I love the new job duties though.
I went to ASHA and had the opportunity to visit old friends and meet new friends. As always, I had such a fun time! I again had the opportunity to present a poster session. It had a great turnout. I worked in the SmartyEars booth, which is so much fun. It's always great to meet people and show off SmartyEars apps. I always feel a lot of pride when people want to see a demonstration of Dysphagia2Go. I would love to say that I attend the ASHA convention for the CEU's, but I attend for the socialization. That is one week of the year I feel like I am in "SLP heaven".
I decided to end this post with a list. Everyone always wants to know my recommendations. Here are my top CEU courses, books and apps related to dysphagia.
Top CEU courses:
The VitalStim course by CIAO seminars is invaluable. It's absolutely great information, with such a huge emphasis on anatomy and physiology. It is definitely worth the price whether you use the device or not.
MBSImP course by Bonnie Martin-Harris, provided by Northern Speech Services is another outstanding course. Again, this course is based on the anatomy and physiology of the swallow and using it in interpretation of Modified Barium Swallow Studies.
Of course, my Dysphagia course. I like to think that it is full of invaluable information. 🙂
Top Books on Dysphagia:
Dysphagia Following Stroke by Stephanie K. Daniels and Maggie Lee Huckabee is absolutely excellent. I'm in the process of re-reading it. It is a book I will keep.
Drugs and Dysphagia. Great reference.
The Source for Dysphagia by Nancy Swigert is my bible. I love that book.
Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Swallowing Mechanism. Absolutely must-read!!
My Top Apps for Dysphagia
Of course my top vote goes to Dysphagia2Go. I use this app all the time when I do a clinical evaluation of swallowing. It lets me input all my data and then allows me to print a report of my findings. This app is available for $39.99 on iTunes.
Dysphagia by Northern Speech Services costs $9.99 and offers amazing pictures of swallowing and swallowing deficits to share with your patients.
Lab Tests is a $2.99 app that allows you to look up lab values, their meanings and why the tests are performed. This app does not require wi-fi to run.
Micromedex is a free drug app that is amazing and gives you not only information about the drug, but possible side effects, warnings, etc. You can look up virtually any drug.
Cranial nerves is a $2.99 app that gives you information on all 12 cranial apps. Not only does it give you the in-app information, but also allows you to, with the push of a button, access further information on the app on Wikipedia and Google.
I hope everyone has an amazing 2013. I so look forward to all the new and great things to come!
This post is based on a post that originally appeared on Dysphagia Ramblings.
Tiffani Wallace, CCC-SLP, has been an SLP specializing in Dysphagia for over 11 years. Tiffani has been very active in the social media world, creating 2 Facebook groups, Dysphagia Therapy Group and Dysphagia Therapy Group-Professional Edition. Tiffani is also the co-author of the app Dysphagia2Go, available on iTunes. She is preparing to travel nationally and speak on the topic of Dysphagia. Tiffani writes a blog called Dysphagia Ramblings and is the author of www.dysphagiaramblings.com. She is a 5 time ACE awardee and recently obtained her BRS-S.

I'm just not sure how many people you can get into a decent session, but I don't think you necessarily need to see each other as much as hear each other. In fact, in some ways, it enhances the imagination a little more to hear each other and not see.
I'd favour the atmosphere of sitting together in some living room. But I do understand the arguments about transporting prices and duration.
What about gathering two crowds in two living rooms and connect them via voice? Maybe Wii chat? There is no video chat for wii, iirc, sadly. Also, some fancy display table with touch interface might be handy...
On the other hand, with Google+ Hangouts the screen automatically switches to the camera of whomever is talking, so that could be cool too. As long as everyone's honest about their dice rolls :)
Heh... could even let you simulate the whole rolling-of-the-dice action (which would actually add real entropy, based on how I have it working now).

A San Francisco hotel was temporarily evacuated Monday after an employee accidentally set off a canister of bear repellent, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
Shortly after 5:30 p.m. a full hazmat response was called to the Raddison Hotel Fisherman's Wharf at 250 Beach St. after people complained of trouble breathing and irritation.
A maintenance worker found the canister left in a room. It somehow was set off and seeped through the air ducts to all four floors of the hotel, officials said.
Four people were taken to the hospital for treatment and none of the injuries are considered serious.

Upload Documents into Folders with SharePoint 2010
You can use folders within your SharePoint 2010 document libraries as a means to organize your documents. So maybe you have a document library and you have a subset of files that only supervisors should see. You could put those files in a separate document library and set the permissions on that library.
But say you already have one library set up the way you like and it seems silly to create another one. Instead, you can use a folder to separate the restricted files from the rest of the files in the library.
To create a folder within a document library:
Browse to your document library where you want to create the folder.
Click the New Folder button in the Documents tab of the SharePoint Ribbon.
The New Folder window appears. If you don't see the New Folder button, folders are disabled for the library. Use the Advanced Settings option in Library Settings to enable or disable folders in your library.
Type the name of the folder in the Name field and click the Save button.
The folder appears in the document library.
To upload files into the folder:
Click the folder name to navigate inside it and then click the Upload Document button on the Document tab of the Ribbon.
The Upload Document window appears.
Browse to the document you want to upload to the folder.
Make sure the Folder field lists the folder where you want to upload the document.
If the folder is incorrect, click the Choose Folder button to select the right folder.
Click OK to upload your document to the folder.
You can work with folders the same way as you work with documents. That is, the rules about working with properties and the Ribbon also apply to folders.
To restrict access to your folder so that only certain groups can access it:
Click the drop-down arrow on the folder name and choose Manage Permissions.
The Permissions page appears.
Click the Stop Inheriting Permissions button and then click OK on the dialog box warning you that you're creating unique permissions for this folder.
Set the desired permissions for the folder.

Sodium Benzoate
Veterinarian Reviewed on January 9, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Sodium Benzoate
Sodium benzoate is a chemical substance popularly used in food processing to avoid the growth of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used as a preservative for foods and beverages that have acidic pH. The mixture of sodium benzoate and water will yield benzoic acid that will serve as the active ingredient in the preservation process. It appears as white, crystalline solid, and a hygroscopic material. When not in use, the container where it is kept must be tightly closed. Sodium benzoate dissolves easily in water, and forms a colorless, transparent solution when mixed.
History and Origin
Sodium benzoate is a product of benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide neutralization. Benzoic acid is contained at low level in fruits such as prunes, cranberries, greengage plums, ripe cloves, cinnamon, and apples. Although benzoic acid is far more effective as preservative over sodium benzoate, the latter is preferred because it dissolves very well in water.
Ancient Uses
Sodium benzoate has been utilized as food preservative since the 1900s. It is popularly used in many preservative processes because of its effective antimicrobial action and low taste and toxicity. Common food products such as beverages, fruit juices, olives, pickles, syrups and other condiments use sodium benzoate as preservative. With the considerable period between food production and its consumption, food preservatives became deemed essential to avoid spoilage and unnecessary alterations in flavor, nutrients, or color. Studies made show that these preservatives are harmless under their controlled production standards.
Modern Uses
Sodium benzoate is widely used in preparing acidic food including salad, jams, carbonated drinks, and fruit juices. Cosmetic and medicines also utilized this type of preservative.
Sodium benzoate is used in fireworks and serves as fuel to the whistle mixture; it is the powder responsible for the whistling noise when ignited.
Sodium benzoate is useful or ingredient in the following:
• Ingredient in mouthwashes with alcohol base
• Nettle rash or Urticaria
• Used in silver polish preparation
• Ingredient to animal foods, but not up to only .01 percent
• Used in preventing wine fermentation
The limitation of sodium benzoate concerning the food is not due to toxicity, but on the taste that might make the foods unacceptable. Sodium benzoate is non-toxic compound. Foods that contain preservatives are often more healthier because the growth of bacteria and microorganisms are prevented, and all other consideration that will make the food healthy and safe for consumption remained intact.
Side Effects
Benzoic acid and sodium benzoate are safe, and are certified by leading authorities in food additives. In 1954, in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Dr. W.H. Stein declared that benzoate is considered a natural metabolite in the human body. Since this preservative is being produced in laboratories today, sometimes it is being banned by some entities from the health food industry, although no scientific basis are cited for the claims that benzoate is unhealthy.
Sodium benzoate, when combined with ascorbic acid and potassium benzoate will form benzene, which is a known carcinogen. However, in beverages, the benzene level is usually below the considered dangerous rate for consumption. The light, heat, and the shelf life may affect benzene formation rate.

Student shot during exchange of gunfire
A county sheriff says a 28-year-old University of Iowa graduate student was fatally shot during an exchange of gunfire with police that left three officers injured.
Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said Taleb Hussein Yousef Salameh was killed Sunday evening after North Liberty police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance at his mobile home.
Pulkrabek said officers made contact with Salameh and a woman, and "gunshots were exchanged between officers and Salameh," who was killed at the scene.
Pulkrabek said three officers were struck by gunfire, and were transported to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for treatment.
All three have been treated and released. The woman victim was not harmed.
A classmate confirmed that Salameh was a graduate research assistant in mechanical engineering.

It could be worse for the Buffalo Sabres. At least they are getting paid for their services on the ice. The Ottawa Senators, who the Sabres play Saturday night in Canada's Capital, haven't gotten their pay checks this year. The Sens, who are leading the NHL with 53 points and sporting a 24-9-5 record, host the Sabres in what has been billed the "Bankrupt Bowl." It is a direct clash in how a small market team manages its money. Both the Sabres and Senators have been having problems financially and up until last year, the two teams were often referred to as "twin franchises" for more reasons than one.

While some studies suggest students are still happy with printed textbooks, the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) has found the movement to digital content is gaining steam.
In its latest installment of the ongoing study Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education, BISG reports a 12% drop in student preference for print over digital text, from 72% preferring print in November 2011 to 60% late last year. At the same time, student satisfaction with digital textbooks slipped from 30% in the 2011 survey to 26% in the newest report.
"Simply transferring a print textbook to a digital format doesn't work with this crowd," said Angela Bole, deputy executive director of BISG, in a release. "This is a market that's tremendously dynamic and changing rapidly. It's essential to watch it closely."
The study also found that only half of the students in the survey were willing to buy the latest version of their assigned textbook, while rental as the preferred option has increased from 8% of respondents in 2011 to 13% in 2012. In addition, the use of tablet computers to read digital textbooks grew to 37% of responding students in 2012, while the use of laptop computers fell to 72%.

A New Style for a New Year: Artsy
Scrapbook an Artsy Style
Give yourself permission to switch up your scrapbooking style this year with the ideas we're presenting in a year-long series of articles featured in Creating Keepsakes magazine. Try scrapbooking with an artsy look. To get started, check out Deena Wuest's graphic scrapbooking style, followed by her take on an artsy layout. She's included some of the challenges she faced, and offers some solutions on how to successfully scrapbook layout using an artsy approach.
Deena's Natural Style
"What's Cool" by Deena Wuest, as seen in the July/August 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes.
The challenge: Design a page using an artsy style.
Don't Smile by Deena Wuest. Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper; Patterned paper: Pink Paislee; Laser-cut paper: KI Memories; Die-cutting machine and dies: Sizzix; Chipboard: Close to My Heart; Stickers: American Crafts; Buttons: BasicGrey; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Digital Supplies: Software: Adobe; Patterned paper and frames: Katie Pertiet; Doodles: Jesse Edwards; Font: Pea Jenny.
Q. What were you afraid to try and why?
A. I was concerned about designing a layout without straight lines and equal margins. They are my foundation . . . my safe place. Creating a free-flowing design with clusters was something new for me.
Q. How did this new style help you tell your story?
A. I liked the playful and young feel this style brought to my layout. It creates a happy feeling which reinforces the story I wanted to document.
Try an Artsy Style
For a more artsy look to your pages, try these ideas:
* Combine patterns
* Add ink and paint
* Create your own backgrounds

Saturday morning, Shann, Steph and I set out for the most exciting place in the city – the Greenmarket! Steph specifically requested a picnic, and so I suggested we pick up edible goodies from the Greenmarket and then head up to Central Park. It was a good thing the weather was sooooo nice that day!
I love the energetic feel of the Greenmarket on Saturday mornings. There are tons of people, all of them happy people, bags in hand overflowing with fruits, flowers and bags. Families have little kids in stroll, more often than not munching on squares of gingerbread or brownies purchase just a minute ago. When the weather is nice, there's seriously no happier place on earth.
We didn't know exactly what we needed for this impromptu 'picnic', but we had more or less a general idea: bread, something to drink, fruit, and cheese. Off we went! Problem was, the three of us put together are honestly the most indecisive people in the universe, so as you can imagine, it was super difficult even trying to decide what type of fruit we wanted. We hemmmed. We hawwwed. And we couldn't decide.
…Until we saw these grapes! Mighty pretty aren't they? These grapes come from a vendor on the east side of the market. All he sold were grapes, and a wide variety of them. We tried them all, but unanimously agreed that these were the best. They're crazy good, not as berry sweet as the concords, leaning on the slightly more tart side with a crisp bite and ooooh, just blissful. They were pricey little babies, this bunch (about a pound and half) ran for nearly $7! We ate the grapes while shopping for the rest of the food, on the subway, and walking to the park. It was a surprise there were any left by the time the picnic officially 'started'! Mid-munching, Steph asked, "how can we ever go back to normal supermarket grapes?" I don't know…
We bought half gallon of Ginger Cider from Breezy Hill Orchard and Cider Mill on the west end of the market. There were so many drink options to pick from – it was hard not to be tempted by a variety of wines just another stand over, and strawberry-apple juice over on the south side.
But Ginger Cider it was, and that was very fine choice. A refreshingly cool drink that turned out to be spicier than I expected and not overly sweet, which is a very good thing!
ooo, look! That's Shann's back – second from left!
Right next to the cider people were the bread people, and Shann happily picked out a fantastic sundried tomato loaf. We didn't expect it to come out to $8/loaf (cause the guy right across had some going for $4), but oh well, what's a life without a little indulgence on a Saturday morning? Haha. We'll see if I say the same thing after my entire income gets wiped out by the ridiculous tax rate in this city…
And we were almost pau, just one thing missing…cheese! There was a debate over whether we should get a hard or soft cheese, but the debate quickly ended when we realized we had absolutely no utensils on hand and thus, a soft cheese would be much easier to eat! Above is 3-Corner Field Farm, specializing in all sheep-ish products: sheep's milk cheese, yogurt, soap, and even wool, yarn and sheepskin!
Our purchase: a mold-ripened Sheep's Milk Cheese. Now I don't know much about cheese (I'll be happy to learn if anyone cares to teach me! :), but I have yet to meet a cheese that I don't like. Hard, soft, stinky, super smelly, not-smelly, semi-smelly…I'll take them all!
Purchases in hand, and smiles on our faces, we took the 6 train uptown to 86th St and strolled over a few avenues to Central Park. The first thing we realized upon arriving at our picnic area of choice was that hey, we have nothing to sit on!!So we improvised, cause that's what we're good at! Plastic bags from our purchases at the Greenmarket were torn in half and we sat on the bags and books.
Shann even pulled out her composition book to double as a juice table :)
Here's our spread! Those are Steph's feet to the left, my dress to the right and all our food laid out right on the grass. The bread is sitting on a piece of paper, also compliments of Shann. It was all very improvised. Another group of people a few yards over had this awesome picnic mat, it was gorgeous! They had a big picnic basket, tons of utensils, a cooler and maannn…it made us feel like very amateur picnic-ers, hehe!
Here's a closer shot, just for you!
And then because we didn't have a knife, Shann tore off the pointy end of the loaf and maneuvered it this way and that to cut open the cheese. And then I took a picture! The sheep cheese + tomato basil loaf = sheer bliss. The cheese is somewhat akin to a camembert, soft and creamy. Call me an oddball, but my favorite part of any soft cheese like this is the rind. Omigosh, I loooove the rind! It's the contrast between the buttery, near runny innards and a solid nibble of the rind that drives me crazy…it's sooooo delicious!
Doesn't this loaf make you smile? Everything felt so darn perfect: green grapes, sheep's milk cheese, ginger cider, a loaf of tomato basil and close friends. The only thing we lacked was a picnic mat to sit on, heheh ;)
Melted cheddar all over the top crust, the loaf was a tad on the dry side, but an abundance of sundried tomatoes and basil embedded within the chewy innards left us wondering what we did to deserve a life this good :)
Here's Steph and Shann post-eating, they looking mighty content don't they?
I stood up for the latter half of the 'picnic' cause I was slightly paranoid of getting grass stains and because the sun kept on following us every time we scooted our seats back to stay in the shade! Next time, remind me to bring a super huge umbrella! :)
And that was our Saturday morning/afternoon…next post (will be up in a day or so) you all can finally meet Kelly and Chrissy!
In 2012, the first KCON USA — a Korean Wave festival — was held as a one-day event at SoCals Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. It has since grown to last five days with programs in both New York City and Los Angeles. This year, KCON LAs exhibitors, including entities like Toyota … Continue reading

Help Send Luke Campagnola To SciPy Conference
TriPython member Luke Campagnola is a tireless and selfless contributor to the forefront of FOSS scientific Python software. You may have attended his presentation to TriPython his packages VisPy and PyQtGraph last year. His work is stunning.
Luke is a post-doc in the School of Medicine at UNC where he conducts neuro-electrophysiology research that will lead to hearing for the deaf and sight for the blind. It's in the after hours that he continues to lead and contribute to large scientific Python open source projects. On post-doc pay. With a family.
Luke is deserving of your help. Luke really needs to get to SciPy Conference this year to get the SciPy community more aware of VisPy and PyQtGraph. VisPy has gotten attention at EuroSciPy for a few years now. But not here on Luke's home soil.
Let's see if we can't raise the funds as a user group to send Luke to SciPy Conference. If you have ever benefited from your association with TriPython, or if I've ever done you a favor, or if you've ever had pizza at a project night, here's your way to give back. Please give generously at this link:

Inside College Hockey: Biega "in the conversation" for Hobey Baker
Game On
• Harvard is unbeaten in its last four games (2-0-2) and has lost just once (4-1-2) in its last seven games.
• The Crimson owns the top power play in the nation at 32.1 percent (17 for 53). Harvard has scored at least one power-play goal in each of its 10 games and multiple power-play goals in six games. In the last three games, Harvard is 7 for 14 with the man advantage.
• Harvard ranks seventh nationally in scoring offense at 3.5 goals per game and is averaging 4.5 goals per contest during its current four-game unbeaten streak.
• The Crimson has not played since defeating Princeton, 4-3, Dec. 10.
• These are Harvard's first games against North Dakota since suffering a home sweep Dec. 5-6, 2008, when the current seniors were freshmen. The Crimson's only previous visit to Engelstad Arena came when Harvard and UND split a pair of games Dec. 29-30, 2005. UND leads the all-time series, 8-2-1.
• Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) paces Harvard with 14 points (3-11-14), leads the nation with 1.1 assists per game and ranks second nationally in defenseman scoring at 1.4 points per game. Patrick McNally (Glen Head, N.Y.) ranks third in scoring among defensemen with 1.2 points per game (3‑9‑12) and is tied for the national freshman scoring lead. and Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) (6-6‑12) leads Harvard in goals. Biega, Killorn and McNally all rank among the nation's top 25 in scoring.
Last Time Out
The Crimson closed the first semester with a 4-3 win at Princeton, securing a split in the season series. Patrick McNally, Marshall Everson (Edina, Minn.) and Eric Kroshus (Calgary, Alta.) scored power-play goals, and Kroshus assisted on Danny Biega's even-strength tally that held up as the game-winner. Steve Michalek (Glastonbury, Conn.) made several key saves and totaled 31 stops. McNally added two assists, while Biega had one and Kroshus registered a multi-point game while playing against his younger brother, Tom, a freshman defenseman for the Tigers.
Power Surge
Dating back to last season, Harvard has scored at least one power‑play goal in 14 straight games and has netted 25 man‑advantage goals in its last 14 ECAC games.
Comeback Crimson
Harvard has trailed 15 times this season and has come back to tie the score 12 times. The Crimson trailed twice each in its win against No. 18 Colgate and its ties against No. 19 Quinnipiac and Dartmouth. Harvard scored seven goals over the final two periods to come back from a four‑goal deficit and defeat New Hampshire, 7-6, Nov. 22 and erased four separate one-goal deficits in a 4-4 tie at Massachusetts Dec. 2.
Road Warriors
Harvard is playing the fourth and fifth of seven straight road games and eight straight away from Bright Hockey Center. The Crimson returns to Boston to host Union Jan. 13 at Fenway Park and comes back to Bright a night later to take on Boston University.
On a Roll
The Crimson's four-game unbeaten streak is tied as the nation's eighth-longest, alongside Air Force.
Poll Position
Harvard has received votes in eight of the 12 weeks of the U.S. College Hockey Online poll. The Crimson is 1-0-1 against ranked competition this season, having tied No. 19 Quinnipiac, 2-2, and defeated No. 19 Colgate, 4-2. Dating back to 2010-11, the Crimson is 3-2-2 against its last seven ranked foes.
Out of its Conference, Not Out of its League
Harvard is 1-0-1 against teams from outside ECAC Hockey, having defeated New Hampshire and tied Massachusetts. Both are Hockey East teams.
Offensive Turnaround
Harvard is on pace for its highest-scoring season since 2002-03, when the Crimson averaged 3.91 goals per game and ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense. The Crimson's offensive success this season comes after finishing 2010-11 ranked 54th nationally with 2.26 goals per game.
Outside the Box
Harvard has allowed its opponents only 35 power plays this season, the nation's lowest total and an average of just 3.5 per game. That is 11 fewer than Dartmouth, which has surrendered the nation's second-fewest power plays at 46. Only 13 other teams have allowed their opponents fewer than 70 power plays.
Middle Men
Harvard has outscored its opponents, 19-11, in second periods this season, including 4-1 against New Hampshire. The Crimson owns a 12-8 edge in third-period goals.
Close Calls
None of Harvard's games has been decided by more than two goals. Seven of the 10 games, including each of the last six, have been tied in the third period. At a point in every third period, the score has been tied or the teams have been separated by one goal.
Who's Hot?
Patrick McNally has registered three points in each of the last two games, totaling a goal and five assists in that span. Danny Biega has registered multiple points in each of the last five games and at least one point in each of the last six, totaling three goals and eight helpers in that stretch.
Alex Killorn has 3-4-7 totals during a five‑game point streak. Alex Fallstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) and Colin Blackwell (North Andover, Mass.) have each been on the scoresheet in four straight games, totaling two goals and three assists each during their runs. Marshall Everson has scored three goals in the last two contests.
Defensemen have assisted on 16 of Harvard's last 18 goals and have scored or assisted on 28 of the Crimson's last 30 tallies. Harvard's defensemen totaled six assists at UMass and two goals and three assists at Princeton.
Firing Line
The Crimson put a season-high 44 shots on goal at UMass, including a combined 27 from the line of Marshall Everson, Alex Killorn and Alex Fallstrom. Killorn logged 11 shots, while Everson had nine and Fallstrom added seven. Harvard has allowed fewer than 27 total shots to three of its 10 opponents. Killorn has notched 50 shots this season, an average of five per game.
Series History
Harvard celebrated New Year's Day 1951 with a 5-2 win at North Dakota but waited nearly 55 years for its next series win. That came when John Daigneau '06 logged 29 saves to make a Mike Taylor '08 goal hold up in a 1-0 win Dec. 29, 2005 at Engelstad Arena. A night later, UND held on for a 3-2 win and series split despite 15 third‑period shots by Harvard.
The schools met three years later at Bright Hockey Center. North Dakota won the first game by a 10-1 margin but had to come from behind for a 4-3 win the next night. Then-freshman Daniel Moriarty gave Harvard a 3-2 edge just eight seconds into the third period, but UND later took control with two goals in 90 seconds. Moriarty also had an assist, and classmate Alex Killorn was also among the scorers.
A Sort of Homecoming
Harvard does not have any North Dakotans on its roster, but five players come from a neighboring state or province: Daniel Moriarty (Bienfait, Sask.), Marshall and Max Everson (Edina, Minn.), Luke Greiner (Faribault, Minn.) and Danny Fick (Marine on St. Croix, Minn.).
Going West
Harvard is seeking its first win against a WCHA team since Dec. 30, 2006, when it beat Michigan Tech, 3-2, at the Great Lakes Invitational.
Scouting North Dakota
UND, which has won seven national championships and played in four of the last six Frozen Fours, got off to a 3-6-1 start that included a stretch of five losses in six gmes. It has righted the ship of late, however, winning five of its last six games with the lone loss in that span coming in overtime to Nebraska-Omaha.
The high-scoring trio of Brock Nelson (14‑8‑22), Corban Knight (6-15-21) and Danny Kristo (9-11-20) has paced the UND offense. With Knight sitting out with an injury, Kristo scored the lone goal in the team's last game, a 1-0 shutout of Nebraska-Omaha. Nelson leads the nation with nine power-play goals. North Dakota is currently without defenseman Derek Forbort, who is skating with Team USA in the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship.
Aaron Dell, an All-America selection last season, made 26 saves in the win against the Mavericks. He has a 2.80 goals‑against average and .895 save percentage in 15 starts, while Brad Eidsness owns a 2.43 goals‑against average and .918 save percentage in three starts.

Your kids have finally worn you down. After months and months of asking, wishing, hoping and nagging, you finally broke down, went to a breeder and picked out a puppy for your home. Now that you have him home, do you know what to do with him? It is not just the basics of caring for his needs that you must learn and get into the routine of performing. If you want the entire family to have a great relationship with your new pet, there is going to need to be some training involved. Figuring out where to start is the best place to begin when learning all about puppy training.
Really, the best place to start with training is as soon as you get your puppy home related to Adorable Ibizan Puppies For Sale. You want to start basic instructions as soon as you can. Many dogs are more apt to have commands stick with them if they learn them right from the start. It is important for you and everyone in the family to start with the training as soon as you can. Puppies that fall into bad behavior and are not trained can be very stubborn and this makes breaking the bad behaviors difficult.
Reinforcement and repetition are big keys to successful training. You may hear yourself repeating the same commands over and over again many times a day at first, but there is nothing wrong with that. It is through this repetition that your puppy learns what is to be expected of him. It is not so much the words that he will be learning but what the behavior is that is expected of him as a result of these words that he will learn.
One of the things that needs to be reinforced from very early on is taking your puppy outside for frequent potty breaks. At this age, your puppy will need to go out frequently, maybe as often as every two hours after naps or feeding time. This not only will help prevent accidents on the floors, but will help to establish a routine for your puppy that he will follow later on in life.

A pop-up menu prompts you to start a new project from scratch or choose a new trailer from iMovie's movie trailer themes.
1From the iMovie home screen, tap the + sign and select New Trailer from the pop-up menu.
Movie trailers are theme templates that are already set up for your movie. Themes include elements such as a custom title screen design, transition effects, and theme music. All you need to do is customize the movie by inserting your content into the theme's prearranged slots.
2Preview the themes by tapping the Play button.
Tap a theme to preview it. Themes encompass popular movie categories such as Scary, Romance, Narrative, Retro, and Superhero. For example, if a student has written a suspenseful movie, he may select the Scary theme. It comes complete with a scary background track, titles, effects, and more. If a student is making a video for Biology or Geography, she might select the Expedition theme.
3When you've decided on one, tap the Create button on the template preview screen to select the highlighted theme.
Now you're ready to start customizing it with your content.
4Tap the Outline tab, and tap in any text field to edit the Movie Name, Credits, and more.
Give the movie a descriptive name that will help you identify it later on.
5Add content to the Storyboard text and Video wells.
Edit any title of a slide by tapping in the text field in the Storyboard and changing the text. The Storyboard also includes a number of Video wells to which you can add video. The placeholder image suggests what type of video to add (Action, Group, Closeup, and so forth). Tap any Video well and your available videos display in the video browser in the lower-right corner of your screen.
If the videos aren't displaying, tap the Movie strip icon directly beneath the browser. Tap any video clip to highlight it and then tap the little blue arrow that pops up to add that video to the selected video well.
Tap any filled Video well to edit the video in it in the Video browser window. Turn on that video's audio by tapping the volume control at the top right of the clip. You can select which portion of the video plays by tapping and dragging the video through the yellow selection outline in the browser window. Play your selected portion at any time by tapping the Play button.
