Have a Heart - Page 3
Unfortunately there's no way to measure your LT from the couch, which is why so many people don't know theirs. You've got to go out and suck some wind. You could, of course, do what the pros do and have blood drawn during your exercise sessions to measure the lactate in your blood, but I'll assume you'll pass on that level of detail and expense. You also have a different LT for each activity. So you may have a different LT for trail running than you do cycling. This not only means you have to do the LT test for each sport, but that you'll have different training zones for each sport.
Luckily, the way you perform the test is identical for most endurance sports, or at least for running and cycling, which are far and away where HRT is used the most. It's really not as complicated as it seems and the benefits of this type of training sure outweigh the minor challenge it is to determine all these zones.
To determine your LT for trail running, perform a 30-minute time trial on a relatively flat course. Here's how:
- Warm up for 15 minutes and during the last five minutes do a few 30-second sprints to get your heart rate up. For the test, your goal is to maintain the hardest pace possible for 30 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, if your heart-rate monitor has a "lap" function, press that lap button to get an average heart rate over the remaining 20 minutes of the test. If you don't have a lap function, take a reading every minute and do the average yourself. A treadmill and a training partner are helpful in this situation. Remember that you want to end the trial without a whole lot left in the tank. Really push yourself.
- That's it! Your LT is your average heart rate over the last 20 minutes.
What are the training zones?
Now that you know your LT, you can now figure out your training zones. Then you'll know exactly what heart rate (HR) you should be training at for a variety of goals. Following are the training zones based on your LT:
Zone 1: Recovery Zone—65 to 85 percent
Zone 2: Extensive Endurance—85 to 90 percent
Zone 3: Intensive Endurance—90 to 95 percent
Zone 4 -5a: Lactate Threshold—95 to 102 percent
Zone 5b/5c: Power Training—102 to 110 percent
For example, if your LT was 160, your Zone 2 HR would be 136 to144 (160 multiplied by .85 and .90).
Now, you can tailor your workouts to your goals. To build your aerobic capacity and train yourself for endurance over speed, keep your HR in zones 1 or 2.
Zone 3 isn't low intensity enough to build your aerobic base and not really high intensity enough to effectively build speed or increase your LT. If you find yourself in this zone, either speed up or slow down, depending on your goal, to get to zone 2 or 4.
Zone 4 is the sweet spot to increase your LT and gain speed over mid-distance events.
To build pure speed in the form of sprints, get to zone 5.

Dream Theater -- Systematic Chaos
I was really looking forward to this album. In typical Dream Theater fashion, it contains heavy riffs, soaring melodies, complex arrangements, and those little subtle intangible elements that they incorporate into their music so well. Sounds good right? Well, on the other hand, I found this album to be a mix of good and some not so good to downright bad. I'll admit while it is an overall decent album, I do feel a bit disappointed. My disappointment mainly stems from the vocals. While in some places they are good if not great, in other places they are just god awful (more on that later). To their credit, the technical mastery of the musicianship is at some points just breathtaking. This album bridges the gap between Train of Thought and Octavarium in its overall sound and style.
Another source of disappointmnt for me is that they seem to "borrow" so much from other bands. I can hear in this album: vintage Rush, some Pink Floydesque moments, some Queensryche, some Muse, some Satriani type riffs, and even some blatant mimicry of Metallica. I wish they would focus more on their own sound as they did in Images And Words. I know, I know, it's not 1992 anymore!
The albums track listing follows a formula where the opening and closing tracks are really one song split into 2 parts. Pink Floyd used this formula much more successfully on Wish You Were Here with Shine On You Crazy Diamond than Dream Theater does here with In The Presence of Enemies. So, with that, into the blow by blow of the songs.
I)In The Presence of Enemies (part 1)
When I first put this CD into the player, this track got me so excited! It's a great opener to set the mood for the rest of the album (or so I hoped). The lengthy instrumental section is just plain awesome! The guitar solos are very technical and enjoyable. I only wish the rest of the album actually did follow the high standard set by this song.
A beautiful almost "power ballad" of sorts. Definitely the most catchy chorus of the album, it will really sink its hooks into you. Nice riffing with a mix of both technical and emotional that Dream Theater do so well. Sweet solo from Petrucci here to boot.
III)Constant Motion
Great song overall, in fact it was the single they released. However, I'm not sure if they are paying tibute to or ripping off Metallica. Blackened anyone? Portnoy and Labrie alternate vocals on this one.
IV)Dark Eternal Night
While I certainly do not mind a band delving into some experimentation, they failed miserably in their experiment here! In the first half of the song the distorted, rap-like, nu-metalish vocals of Portnoy just make me cringe!!!
Portnoy and LaBrie again share the vocals here. Later, what could have been a song saving instrumental section is interrupted by a "ragtime" keyboard interlude.
The next chapter in the ongoing Portnoy "AA 12 Step" saga. Very Pink Floyd like in its nature. The solo (the highlight of the song) is rather Gilmour like although it does not hold a candle to Gilmour. This song suffers in several ways. It's too damn long and slow!!! The "special guest voice" mumbling interludes from the likes of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Chris Jericho, David Ellefson, and others just ruins it for me.
VI)Prophets of War
I think this song had great potential which was unfulfilled. Mixed bag of good and bad vocals. The music is almost "disco-like" at times while terrific at others. This song examines the difficult Iraq War issue. In my opinion, they should have quit while they were ahead on the social/political issues with Sacrificed Sons from Octavarium which is fantastic.
VII)The Ministry of Lost Souls
A nearly 15 minute epic. Starts off very slow and ballady. LaBrie's vocals are very warm, emotional, and powerful. Just when you feel you are being lulled to sleep at about the 6 minute mark the music begins slowly building up until it really takes off at the 7 1/2 minute mark into an amazing instrumental section where all the musicians really get to showcase their stuff. Some more excellent guitar work from Petrucci. After about 4 minutes of this, it returns to where it all began and then transitions into an extended really sweet guitar outro. Overall an enjoyable piece.
VIII)In The Presence of Enemies (part 2)
Very different than part 1. 16 1/2 minutes in length. Starts off very slow and eery like. The overall feeling it gives is dark and heavy at times. Too much use of the "Dark Master" lyric. A very intricate and complex song overall with many different sections. Another incredible instrumental section once again showcasing the technical expertise of the musicianship.
In summary:
A decent album with some major flaws.
At least it will help kill 70+ minutes of flight time to Hawaii!!!

Vegertarian Since Fall 2006. :) When I was 15 I started getting sick from eating poultry products like chicken and even chicken flavored foods. I soon decided to cut poultry out of my diet completely. It honestly wasn't all that easy since my family is full of meat lovers, who cannot have a meal without meat. It got easier with time and I started see how much better I was feeling since I wasn't eating chicken. I then choose to see if I could cut out meat all together. That wasn't quite as easy, but I was able to do it. By fall of 2006 I was a complete ovo-lacto vegetarian. 6 years later I am trying not to consume many dairy or egg products and become the vegan I know I can be. :)

Bucs Report: Martin Update, Finding Cam
The Bucs had an extra day to prepare for Monday's contest against the Miami Dolphins. One day after putting running back Doug Martin on injured reserve, coach Greg Schiano said his shoulder injury didn't respond the way everyone wanted. "We wanted to give it a couple of weeks to see how much he strengthened the shoulder," Schiano said. "Every guy is different. He did get better but not well enough that we felt comfortable putting him in a football game.… Read More »

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Torrey Goad serves as Assistant Information Officer at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India.
Sunday morning began ominously, with dark clouds and large birds of prey circling over the site we had worked so hard to develop for the Secretary's visit. This was one of the research sites of the Indian Council for Agricultural Research's (ICAR) Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) in Pusa, New Delhi. Fields of rice, peacocks with tails outspread, workers, field machinery drawing plumes of dust in the distance. It is the month of Shravan in India, the time of the monsoon, immortalized by Indian poets and Sufi mystics, symbolized by the clouds dark and heavy with rain.
But, if it rained, we'd have to go indoors, and say goodbye to this gem in the dust.
We were amazed by the amount of work and craftsmanship the IARI team had devoted and the pride they took in preparing this site for the Secretary. We arrived to find a flowing shamiana, rippling colored flags lining the chalked-white drive, a stage where the Secretary would speak befitting royalty. What site could possibly be better, we thought, for the Secretary to pronounce the burgeoning relationship India and the United States?
And then it began to rain.
Fortunately, though, the rain subsided long before the Secretary arrived, and the powerful, searing heat that replaced the shower dried the mud which had formed along the dusty margins of the road.
As time passed, in the distance, we began to see the glimmer of sunlight glinting off metal as the Secretary's motorcade approached, like a mirage taking definite shape before us. This was the moment we had all anticipated and envisioned.
The Secretary emerged from her car and the clamoring press exalted with cries of her name.
As the Secretary toured the site, she saw samples of direct seeded rice, a technology that greatly reduces the amount of water needed for cultivation, and farm equipment, including a zero-till planter that saves time and reduces production costs, and a laser land leveling machine that allows more efficient use of water. Secretary Clinton had the opportunity to learn more about fascinating innovations and new technology in Indian agriculture.
The Secretary concluded her visit with an address, and we watched as the motorcade dissolved into the waves of heat of the glimmering summer evening. Our job was accomplished.
Illia in Puerto Rico writes:
Dear Secretary Clinton:
Your visit to India asserts the cordial relations India and United State have always shared. It was wonderful to read about the enthusiatic hospitality they welcomed you.
It was an opportunity to discuss problems and solutions for the future. It ratifies the commitment to deal with confidence, co-operation and trust. India has been supportive of and is a role model for other nations to follow the advantages of peace and understanding with the United States on certain issues the world is facing, such as: ecological balance, economy, and terrorism, to name a few.
The Indian character and culture remains strikingly original and peaceful. India is one of the best ally our great nation can trust.
I truly admire India.
Donald in California writes:
Why is the Gov. giving U.S. money away? 200 million dollars. This is not the time to be giving American money to other countries. All of you say that we are in debt, but you still squander our money away. I feel the Ameican people should not be responsible for the way you and your peers squander our money, and then you turn around and say we owe it, to pay it back. You created this hole get yourself out of it. We the people need to vote out the spenders, and start with people that think of America first.
What do we get out of all this?
Thanks for nothin.

Topic: Sorting with associations and multiple columns
So I had a need to be able to sort a table and I didn't want to use all the fancy AJAX ways people have developed. I eventually came across this (rails super cool simple column sorting) and tried it out.
I ran into two problems I needed a way to sort through associations and I need to be able to sort by more than one column in certain cases.
For the first issue I found this (How do you order through associations?) on the forums. With some tweaking here and there I eventually came out with the following. I feel like it's a bit ugly and I know I'm still new to Ruby so I thought some experts could offer their tips.
# application.rb
def sort_order(default)
# The original code was the following
# "#{(params[:c] || default.to_s).gsub(/[\s;'\"]/,'')} #{params[:d] == 'down' ? 'DESC' : 'ASC'}"
# The new code is to allow for more than one column to sort on
sql_order = []
sort_array = (params[:c] || default.to_s).gsub(/[\s;'\"]/,'').split(/,/)
sort_array.each do |c|
sql_order << c + " #{params[:d] == 'down' ? 'DESC' : 'ASC'}"
sql_order.join(', ')
# application_help.rb
def sort_link(title, column, options = {})
condition = options[:unless] if options.has_key?(:unless)
sort_dir = params[:d] == 'up' ? 'down' : 'up'
link_to_unless condition, title, request.parameters.merge( {:c => column, :d => sort_dir} )
# A normal use case in a controller
@projects = Project.find(:all, :order => sort_order('created_at'))
# A weird case with associations and multiple columns
@requirements = requirements.find(:all, :include => [:product], :order => sort_order('denied, approved, requested'))
# A normal use case in a view
<%= sort_link 'Project', :name %>
# A weird case with associations and multiple columns
<%= sort_link 'Product : Version', 'products.name, products.version' %>
All of this works but is there a better way that keeps things simple and DRY?

text: When his wife is killed by mobster Dolan after she witnessed him committing murder, grief-stricken Robinson hatches a plan to exact retribution. You see, Dolan regularly drives between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and sometimes there are roadworks... Dolan's Cadillac is one of Stephen King's simplest short stories, lovingly crafted around a number of technical issues the answers to which were supplied to him by his big brother. Those technicalities are not necessary in the film - what happens happens, we see it but we don't need to know exactly how - and, instead, other aspects of the story are amplified (and, indeed, added). The main story beats remain consistent, however. Christian Slater treads a fine line between inhuman urbanity and crazed loon as Dolan's fate unfolds. Wes Bentley is fine as the grieving and somewhat unhinged Robinson, and Emmanuelle Vaugier is adequate as the doomed Elizabeth. This film passes the time but is otherwise fairly unmemorable.

FOTN: teal and green eyes
The other night I was catching up on my youtube vids and I was inspired by a youtuber out there named Eily. She's just fab! I recreated her recent teal look and added my own twist.
You know blues and greens are my fav! Next time, I'll try foiling the pigments and shadows to make the colors really pop.
I used my airbrush system to do foundation. I had to do a new color mix since I got a slight tan in Costa Rica...when I mean slight, very very light tan, lol, since it rained most of the time! I ended up combining two colors to make my mix: 1/3 number 8 mixed with 3/2 number 7. I love the way that airbrush foundation offers a lot of coverage but feels like you're not wearing anything.
Here's what I used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-Laura Mercier oil-free primer
-Temptu S/B airbrush foundation - 007 & 008 mixed
-Camera Ready Cosmetics blush
-vanilla pigment as a highlight
-delft paint pot
-olive green pigment
-gorgeous gold e/s
-nylon e/s
-meet the fleet e/s
-blacktrack fluidline
-pop blue eye pencil
-model co. lashes in #21
-zoomlash mascara
-NYX Iced Coffee jumbo lip pencil
-viva glam VI lipglass
I took these pics after midnight...I think I was tired cuz one of my eyes is bigger than the other in these pics, lol. And yup, that's the boyfriend sleeping in the background...I threw a blanket on top of him to cover him up, lol.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

International Students Weekly Bulletin
Annual Diversity Job and Internship Fair - Jan 25th
The annual Diversity Job and Internship Fair will be here at SCSU on January 25. With 78 employers, this is the largest on campus job fair in the past 5 years!
The Diversity Fair will take place on the second floor of Atwood from 1:00-4:00pm. More information on the Fair can be found at:
This is the most diverse job fair of the year, with employers from business, science and engineering, health and human services, education, non-profits, government, communications, etc. in attendance and so ALL students are encouraged to attend!
More information on participating employers, with brief information on the organization, majors sought and positions available, can be found at:
This Fair is open to ALL college students and alumni. Advanced registration is not required but students seeking internships and/or entry-level positions should dress professionally and bring a resume. First and second year students are also encouraged to attend as there will be employers offering part-time and/or summer employment. This is also a great chance for all students to explore future employment options and make invaluable employment contacts.
Students who wait until after graduation to start their job search have a much more difficult time finding a quality job after college than those who utilize career fairs and other career services while still in school – so anything you can do to encourage your students to take advantage of this unique event would be much appreciated.
* If you would like your message to be considered for the Weekly Bulletin, e-mail email@example.com with a description of the event. Messages must be received by Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

NAACP chapter reactivated at UMES
Nanika Shockley, Jenny Porch, Andre Walsh and Jessica Land
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (May 9, 2013) – Nearly three dozen atypical UMES students gathered on a recent Friday afternoon as the spring semester wound down to attend an interest meeting for one of the nation's most prestigious civil rights organizations.
While most other students were catching up with friends or hanging out at the mall, the UMES students instead were focused on reviving a campus chapter of the NAACP.
Four students – Andre Walsh, Jessica Land, Nanika Shockley and Jenny Porch – all saw a void and agreed to gauge how much interest there might be among their peers to bringing the organization back to life on the Princess Anne campus.
"The most important thing is to know your future," Porch said. "Our main goal for this organization will be is to clear the misconception of the NAACP; it's not all about the 'civil rights era'."
The students say they are ready to accept the challenge of overcoming the perception of apathy on campus towards extracurricular activities such as NAACP.
"We need to educate our student body to be more socially involved," Land said. "With the help of the SGA, our organization will push the community and our student body forward."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909 " to ensure political, education, social and economic equalities for all and to eliminate radical hatred and racial discrimination."
Students' efforts to reactivate an NAACP campus chapter at UMES would make the university Maryland's only four-year institution to be in compliance with the national organization's rules and regulations, according to Bessie Bordenave, Maryland State NAACP Youth & College advisor.
Dr. Kirkland Hall has a long-standing relationship with the chapter at UMES. A history buff, Hall said he joined the chapter in 1978 after he became concerned about racial and social setbacks he saw in Somerset County.
Hall remembers the late William P. Hytche telling him that "when you work in the here [at UMES], you also live in the community. You need to be involved with community life. That's what I've been doing ever since."
Hall, who heads the Somerset County branch, has volunteered to be a chapter advisor with fellow faculty member, Kathryn Barrett-Gaines.
"People died so we can have the opportunity that we have now" Hall said.
Those looking to revive the chapter see its main purpose as developing leaders, encouraging community activism and raising awareness of political challenges that are still prevalent locally and nationally.
The UMES chapter plans to promote voter registration and increase student-involvement with the community.
Six students were elected by their peers to lead the effort to re-activate the campus chapter of the NAACP. They are Kianna Harris, Devin Hamilton, So-Jin Park, Clinton Thomas, Mariah Dennis, Nanika Shockley and Paul Jerry.

Call for Participation Tutorial and Research Workshop on AFFECTIVE DIALOGUE SYSTEMS ADS'04 June 14 through June 16, 2004 http://www.sigmedia.org/ads04 INTRODUCTION Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this Tutorial and Research Workshop on AFFECTIVE DIALOGUE SYSTEMS (ADS04), which will be held at the Kloster Irsee in southern Germany from June 14 to June 16, 2004. After two successful ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshops on Multimodal Dialogue Systems at Kloster Irsee, Germany in 1999 and 2002, a discussion of the latest developments in the area of affective multimodal dialogue systems now seems timely. The workshop will focus on the role of affect and emotion in dialogue including e.g. design issues, applications, evaluation and tools. It will provide a forum for the presentation of research and applications and for lively discussions among researchers as well as industrialists. Prototype and product demonstrations will be very welcome. ADS04 is organised as a collaboration between the Universities of Augsburg, Ulm and Southern Denmark and DaimlerChrysler Research and Technology. We welcome you to the workshop. Elisabeth Andr� Intelligent User Interfaces, University of Augsburg, Germany andreinformatik.uni-augsburg.de Laila Dybkj�r Natural Interactive Systems Laboratory, University of Southern Denmark lailanis.sdu.dk Wolfgang Minker Department of Information Technology University of Ulm, Germany wolfgang.minkere-technik.uni-ulm.de Paul Heisterkamp Dialogue Systems, DaimlerChrysler AG, Germany paul.heisterkampdaimlerchrysler.com WORKSHOP THEMES Papers may discuss theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, general tools and techniques. Discussion papers that critically evaluate approaches or processing strategies and prototype demonstrations are especially welcome. * Recognition of emotions from speech, gestures and facial expressions * Expression of emotions via speech, gestures and facial expressions * Emotional speech synthesis * Frustration detection in multimodal dialogue systems * Virtual agents exploiting affect for better interaction * Animated agents provoking human empathy * Modelling emotional agents * Emotion and cognition * Affective user modelling * Emotion-based reasoning capabilities for coordination, conflict description and problem solving * Emotional databases and corpora * Evaluation strategies and paradigms for affective interaction SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME The format of the workshop will be a non-overlapping mixture of oral and poster sessions. A number of tutorial lectures will be given by internationally recognised experts from the area of Affective Dialogue Systems. All poster sessions will be opened by an oral summary by the session chair. A number of poster sessions will be succeeded by a discussion session focussing on the subject of the session. It is our belief that this general format will ensure a lively and valuable workshop. The organisers would like to encourage researchers and industrialists to take the opportunity to bring their applications as well as their demonstrator prototypes and design tools for demonstration to the workshop. If sufficient interest is shown, a special demonstrator/poster session will be organised and followed by a discussion session. The official language of the workshop is English. At the opening of the workshop hardcopies of the proceedings, published in the LNCS/LNAI Series by Springer Verlag, will be available.

All MCC developmental math courses are taught in the Math Emporium, a 65-station computer lab.
Instruction in the Math Emporium Lab (MEL) is self-paced and individualized. Rather than listen to a traditional classroom lecture, instruction is computer based, with a teacher available on-demand whenever the student needs assistance.
Ideally, students complete readings and listen to recorded lectures at home and work on math problems with assistance from faculty during class time.
Where all lecture, homework, and quizzes are available, 24/7, in an online format.
After taking the Compass test, students who place in developmental math courses register for the appropriate math course, held in the MCC Math Emporium, John H. Gray, Room 201. Each class is divided into separate chapters. Once you've mastered the content of a lesson or chapter, you can immediately start the next. Students have unlimited attempts on each homework problem. The following YouTube video provides a basic rundown of the process: How does the Math Emporium work?
If you feel you are familiar with the material to be covered in a chapter, you may take a pre-test to skip content and finish earlier! Once you finish the course you may advance to the next without paying additional tuition! Students may advance through MAT 55, MAT 65 and MAT 85 in the same semester without paying additional tuition!

So I think that Eleanor Justice, aside from having a really cool name, probably makes the best signature blend labels I have ever seen! Really, that girl has got some talent!
But, having stumbled across her customer profile, I noticed that she has 61 different blends! I know that I'm capped off at 25. Is there anybody else who can make that many blends? Does Eleanor work at Adagio? Is it an error that has allowed her to continue to be a label/blend making machine?
I have no issue with Eleanor, of course!!! Don't get me wrong, it's not about her. I just wish I was allowed to make that many blends.

The cost of Thanksgiving dinner has gone up over the years. It averaged $34.56 in 2002 and now is nearly $50. But depending on where you live and where you shop, your family could spend less than $35 for turkey and all the trimmings this year — or nearly more than two and a half times that amount.
The American Farm Bureau Federation identified the 12 basic grocery items used to make a standard Thanksgiving meal for 10 people. Based on cost-of-living data calculated by the Council for Community and Economic Research, 24/7 Wall St. determined how much this meal would cost at an inexpensive supermarket in the most inexpensive city in America, and what it would cost at an expensive supermarket in the most expensive city.
According to C2ER, the urban area with the lowest overall cost of living is Harlingen, Texas, where prices for all goods are roughly 80% of the national average. Located a few miles from the border with Mexico, Harlingen has a generally low-income or poor population. As of 2011, more than one in three residents were living below the poverty line. The median household income was just $32,714, compared to the national median household income of $50,502.
Harlingen, Texas
> Store: Walmart
> Total price: $33.13 (33% lower*)
> Turkey price: $14.08 (37% lower)
> Sweet potatoes price: $0.60 (81% lower)
We asked a Harlingen reporter to see how much a standard Thanksgiving dinner would cost at the local Walmart. Walmart is widely regarded as one of the least expensive places to buy groceries nationwide. While a local grocery store may have lower prices, Walmart fairly represents prices at their lowest nationwide.
According to the AFBF, a basic Thanksgiving dinner for ten includes a 16-pound turkey, 12 rolls, a 1-pound relish tray of celery and carrots, a half-pint of whipping cream, 14 ounces of cubed stuffing, three pounds of sweet potatoes, one gallon of milk, 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, one pound of green peas, one 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix, and two pie shells. Also needed are small amounts of miscellaneous ingredients, the average national cost of which is $3.18.
At the Harlingen Walmart, these goods could be purchased for just $33.83, which represents a savings of $15.65, or 32%, compared to the AFBF's national average. A Harlingen resident shopping at Walmart would save the most on the $14.08 Riverside brand 16-pound turkey. The national average price of a 16-pound turkey is $22.23. While the national average price for three pounds of sweet potatoes is $3.15, the Harlingen resident paid just 60 cents for Louisiana sweet potatoes, an 80% discount.
Manhattan, N.Y.
> Store: Whole Foods
> Total price: $80.48 (60% higher*)
> Turkey price: $40.21 (81% higher)
> Sweet potatoes price: $4.47 (41% higher)
On the other end of the spectrum, C2ER identified New York City's borough of Manhattan as the most expensive urban area in the country. The cost of all goods and services there is an estimated 230% of the national average. Median income in the borough is more than double that of Harlingen, Texas. Because 24/7 Wall St. offices are located in New York, we were able to survey prices at a nearby Whole Foods — one of the higher-priced national supermarket chains — to see how much that same Thanksgiving dinner would cost a Manhattan resident.
While we did not always find the identical portion sizes, even the smaller portions of items listed by AFBF were more expensive than the national average. Without adjusting for size, the total cost before sales tax was $80.48. A 14-ounce tray of carrots and celery cost $4.99, while the national average price for a 16-ounce tray is 76 cents. Three pounds of sweet potatoes cost $4.47 — $1.32 more than the national average, and more than seven times the price in Harlingen. A 16.15-pound Whole Foods free range turkey cost $40.21, well more than the entire meal at the Harlingen Walmart.

Nvidia Corp., according to a media report, plans to refresh nearly the whole lineup of its graphics processors by back-to-school season. The new line will reportedly include GF104, GF106 and GF108 graphics processing units, which support DirectX 11 along with other innovations, and will cover a lot of market segments.
Nvidia plans to release its performance-mainstream code-named GF106 chip in July and mainstream GF108 graphics chip in August, 2010, according to a news-story from DigiTimes web-site. The GF104 graphics processing unit for high-end/performance mainstream is projected to arrive in June, 2010. The timeline of the releases points to Nvidia's plan to almost completely refresh its product lineup with Fermi architecture-based products by the back-to-school season.
Specifications of the new graphics processors are naturally not known. However, one can speculate about them, keeping in mind specifications of the flagship GF100 graphics processor and the peculiarities of the Fermi architecture.
The GF100 (NV60, G300) graphics processor sports four graphics processing clusters (GPCs) in total, each of which sports four streaming multiprocessors (each SM has 32 stream processors and 4 texture units) and four PolyMorph engines. The chip also has six 64-bit memory controllers with six raster operation (ROP) partions and 768KB universal L2 cache (128KB per ROP).
As it can be observed, Fermi architecture is pretty flexible, so, Nvidia can cut down the number of GPCs or reduce the amount of SMs per GPC, while also balancing the number of memory controllers, ROPs and the size of L2 cache. Quite naturally, the lowest-end Fermi product will the least optimized for GPU computing whereas mainstream GF106 and GF104 are likely to inherit many GPU computing peculiarities of the original GF100.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Is your Business Blog a Cost Center or a Revenue Generator? Maybe that's your problem
I traded emails with a woman recently who runs one of the best (manual) collaborative blogs I have seen. They have 6-7 content authors and their blogs are timely and relevant. That is no small undertaking when you are using a free blog product and the vast majority of businesses can't sustain that long term.
The main problem I saw with their blog was that it was not set up to convert readers to customers. It was just pushing info. When I reached out to her, she said that they were in the middle of fixing their website as it was not converting either, and to follow up in about a year as they could not justify spending any money on the blog while fixing the website.
Although I certainly sympathize with cashflow, I see another problem here – how the blog was viewed. Even though I told her of the ability to generate HUNDREDS OF PERCENT return on investment with InnoBlogs through search engine optimization and customer conversion, she still saw the blog only as as cost.
In the accounting world, this is known as "cost center" versus a "profit center". Cost centers produce expense and Profit centers produce revenues. Naturally, cost centers are typically viewed as a necessary evil and profit centers are the Prima Donnas of many organizations.
Do you have a corporate blog in your digital marketing mix? Is it a cost center or a profit center? If it's a cost center, what can you do to make it a profit center?

To its core MINI is a feisty underdog. For a brand that has grown steadily over the past decade despite being outsized and outspent by most other car companies, we're right at home with the moments when someone is about to defy the odds. For us, The Olympic Games would prove to be the biggest stage to celebrate the smallest and unlikely victors, and take the MINI brand to new heights.

NHEC breaks ground
Saturday, March 3, 2012
President Earl H. Potter III speaks to the crowd at the groundbreaking ceremony.
In a sentence, President Earl H. Potter III summed up the $14.7 million construction project that will remake, by this fall, the 23-year-old hockey arena on the south edge of campus.
"The NHC is now the NHEC," he told a crowd of several hundred at the March 2 groundbreaking ceremony for St. Cloud State's National Hockey and Event Center (NHEC).
But that name is temporary, Potter added.
University officials are having conversations with suitors about naming rights for the building, which will increase in size by one-third and become a regional events center. See floor plans and more at the NHEC website.
Central to the construction project, which is slated to be substantially complete this fall, is a 50,000 square-foot, four-story glass atrium that will extend south from the current facade to Herb Brooks Way. In addition, 20,000 square-feet will be remodeled.
Chris Coborn, campaign chair, announced that his community-based committee will lead the fundraising effort for an additional $12 million.
- Read Coborn's "Revitalizing a Campus and Community Connection" letter (PDF)
- View the NHEC floor plans (PDF)
- To make a gift, contact Kurt Stelten at (320) 308-2073
In all, university officials project more than $30 million in enhancements to the NHEC, part of a commitment Potter made to redeveloping Fifth Avenue, the main north-south boulevard through campus.
From NHC to NHEC
Outgoing Athletic Director Morris Kurtz, who has served St. Cloud State for 28 years, brought a historical perspective to the March 2 NHEC groundbreaking ceremony. He recalled a conversation between hockey coach Herb Brooks and Brooks' mentor, John Mariucci, a legendary player and coach battling cancer.
"It irked John to no end that the state of Michigan had six Division I hockey teams and the state of Minnesota only had two. And, on his deathbed he asked Herb to help fulfill a life-long wish: Add another Division I hockey program in the state of Minnesota right here at St. Cloud State University."
Kurtz saluted the late President Brendan J. McDonald for helping start that hockey program with Brooks and working to get the Legislature to help fund the National Hockey Center. He added that current president, Earl H. Potter III, has displayed that same leadership in the last four years, pushing forward the expansion and remodeling of the hockey arena into a regional events facility.
For nearly a quarter century, the arena has been an economic engine for the university and Central Minnesota, Kurtz said.
"These enhancements will make it even more of an economic engine," he said. "The National Hockey Center is now the National Hockey and Event Center."
Kurtz retires in June.
The NHEC is a bookend to the City of St. Cloud's recently completed River's Edge Convention Center. In between are a flurry of redevelopment efforts, including the Coborn Plaza complex completed in 2010. That's the vision put forth by Potter, Mayor Dave Kleis, a St. Cloud State alumnus, and Fifth Avenue Live strategist and developer Brian Schoenborn, also a St. Cloud State alumnus.
The four-story glass atrium will house a main floor lobby and ticketing area adjacent to the main rink. The ground level will include elevators and stairs to the arena's south concourse, as well as areas that recognize project donors and celebrate the men's and women's hockey programs, according to Steve Ludwig, vice president of administrative affairs.
The addition includes two loading docks and a large receiving area. These and other improvements will enable the facility to host concerts, theater productions, trade shows, speakers, conferences, meetings and other sporting events.
That event component will contribute to St. Cloud's growing identity as the key entertainment/convention destination between Fargo and Minneapolis-St. Paul, according to Potter. The expansion also helps maintain the competitiveness of the university's NCAA Division I hockey programs, especially the men's program, which joins the new, high-profile National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2013.
The southeast corner of the building will feature a new entrance/ticketing area for the Community Rink. Patrons of what used to be called the Practice Rink will have access to a remodeled concession stand and two new restrooms, in addition to the existing restrooms.
The second floor of the addition will include a Husky Athletics team store, two new concessions stands and two new bathrooms. Current bathrooms and concession stands will be demolished to make the south concourse wider, improving foot-traffic flow at games and events.
The addition's third floor, which will not afford a view of the main rink, will include unfinished space for future coaching and arena management offices.
The fourth level will feature about 14 spectator suites with bathrooms and working space for support services. Most of the suites will seat 12 spectators. The suites will improve the acoustical characteristics of the main arena, enhancing sound quality for concerts and other events, said Ludwig.
Architects are JLG Architects, Fargo, and Hagemeister Mack Architects, St. Cloud. Construction manager is Donlar Construction, Waite Park.
St. Cloud State is located 70 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul along the banks of the Mississippi River. It offers 17,000 students more than 200 undergraduate and graduate programs and an Education for Life.

100% Pizza!!
Interesting Donatos Experiment
September 02, 2009, 05:17:44 PM »
Last weekend I finally got back around to my Donatos pizza efforts. Ive been having fun playing with other pizza types, and trying to make some progress for some good Neapolitan and neo-Neapolitan pizzas.
Anyhow, with football season right around the corner, I felt it was time to get back to some good Donatos pizza! I had gotten really curious about the egg content, and for this experiment I really upped the overall egg percentage (and lowered the overall hydration) to see what would happen. The recipe for this pizza was:
Flour (KA Bread) (100%): 282.32 g | 9.96 oz | 0.62 lbs
Water (40%): 112.93 g | 3.98 oz | 0.25 lbs
IDY (.5%): 1.41 g | 0.05 oz | 0 lbs | 0.47 tsp | 0.16 tbsp
Salt (1.7%): 4.8 g | 0.17 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1 tsp | 0.33 tbsp
Vegetable (Soybean) Oil (3.5%): 9.88 g | 0.35 oz | 0.02 lbs | 2.18 tsp | 0.73 tbsp
Sugar (1%): 2.82 g | 0.1 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.71 tsp | 0.24 tbsp
Sweet Dried Dairy Whey (1.5%): 4.23 g | 0.15 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.4 tsp | 0.47 tbsp
Baker's Non-Fat Dry Milk (1.7%): 4.8 g | 0.17 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.23 tsp | 0.41 tbsp
Eggs, large (13%): 36.7 g | 1.29 oz | 0.08 lbs | 7.25 tsp | 2.42 tbsp
Total (162.9%): 459.91 g | 16.22 oz | 1.01 lbs | TF = 0.0918
This was also for a 14 pizza, calculated out to 15 for ease of rolling and residue.
The procedure was the same basic procedure that I feel very comfortable with at this point, which you can find posted here:
BUT I will say there are a couple of small changes to note from the procedures listed there. I think you should ALWAYS scaled the dry milk. I got some bakers quality at one point and skipped this step, and the final pizza was definitely missing something.
Also, in a recent trip back to Columbus (I always get some Donatos when I go back home) I noted that the ovens in the shop were all set to 470 degrees. So, baked this one at 470.
Additionally, the biggest baking problem Ive had is getting a nice even browning on the bottom, while getting a good crust to the pepperoni on the top. For this experiment I did the proofing step in my microwave (was surprised it fit!) and let my pizza-stone and brick-lined oven pre-heat at 470 for at least an hour, close to the top of the oven. I baked the pizza right on the stone for 5 minutes. Then I opened the door and put on the broiler to crisp up the top for 2 minutes. After that, the bottom did need a wee bit more browing, so I slid the disc off the stone and on to the bottom rack while turning up the oven to 550 (just so the element would stay on for me) for only about 30 seconds.
The baking procedure, while being a bit more hand-holding, gave me really good results.
The pizza, however, wasnt so great!
The first thing I noticed that was not right was the skin after the proofing step. It had REALLY puffed up like a baked-good. Already way too thick for a thin-crust pizza. When I went to dock the skin, it was more like poking holes in dry foam or something. Very odd feeling/looking.
The final pizza, while having good color, was too soft and chewy, and the flavor was just way off. It tasted fine enough, but way off the mark.
Were having some different friends over both this weekend and next, all of whom happen to be from Ohio, so Im going to subject everyone to some more Donatos experiements and get some good feedback. Though after this attempt, Im going back to a previous formulation with much less egg.
Though I must say this dough was by far the easiest to roll out. I also think ever since I started pulling the dough out of the fridge by a MINIMUM of 2 hours before trying to roll it out Ive had some good success in the consistency of the thickness. Perhaps the new baking procedures + one of the older recipes will get me closer to my goal!!!
ps still, THEE hardest thing to get even remotely close to the real-deal is the pepperoni. Ive tried every brand I can get my hands on and nothing has come slightly close to what they use. For anyone new or not familiar with Donatos, they make their own pepperoni with a family recipe. The recipe calls for a much lower fat content than most pepperonis, allowing them to put over 100 pieces of pepperoni on a large pep pizza without it turning into a big pool of grease. This also keeps the pepperoni from shrinking much during cooking. They "crater" a wee bit, and they get very nice and crispy around the edges. Any suggestions or recommendations on pepperoni brands to try would be much appreciated!!!

Haha - yes, but pretty much just on my Donatos pizzas! It's what they're most famous for:
On other pizzas, especially good neo/Neapolitan pizzas I rarely ever reach for the pep!

Have you tried the Boar's Head mozz? Really good stuff.
I grew up in NW Indiana just outside Chicago and I remember Donato's pizza. I live in Orlando, FL now and there was one that opened up about 15 minutes from my house but has since gone out of business during the recession. Too bad. Does yours still have you place your order by a phone at the table? Weird...

I've not tried the Boar's Head mozz, but I do keep reading great things about Boar's Head on the board. For Donatos I stick with aged, smoked, provolone to stay authentic. But I have a lot of experimentation to do with my other pizzas in the way of cheese. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the Boar's Head!

Loved your experimentation. I will try it.
This video may be some interest. If you go to the Aventec oven web site (I can't post links on this forum since I'm a new registrant) there is a video in the case study section of a Donatos franchisee talking about his oven and bake times. The Avantec conveyor ovens are high air velocity impingement ovens, so that air will help dry out the pepperoni and especially the veggie toppings.
Have you tried their hand tossed style crust? If so, what did you think? I'm kind of surprised they offered the new style, I wonder if it actually helped their sales.
Here is a youtube video for a visual reference. Go to youtube and search for 1TkDvQgR1k. Again, I can't post links since I'm a new registered user. It is a close up of a donatos pizza filmed by a drunk guy but you can see the crust thickness and the pizza bottom.

While I was looking at the abovereferenced video, I came across the following additional YouTube video on the Donatos pizza:
There are quite a few more YouTube videos on the Donatos hand-tossed doughs/pizzas, but those would be more appropriate in another thread devoted to that specific style.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $11.05 (41% off)
Product contains magnesium stearate
Posted by Jeffrey-Singapore on Oct 08, 2013
I ordered this product as the ingredients list shown on iHerb did not include magnesium stearate. But when I got the actual product, I saw that the ingredients list label stating that it does contain magnesium stearate. I am disappointed that iHerb has either sent me the wrong product (I understand that Nutrition Now has an original formula which includes magnesium stearate, but that bottle has a blue cap), or Nutrition Now has sent iHerb the wrong information. Either way, I would not order this again if it does contain magnesium stearate.
not thrilled

Doesn't do much for me. I usually use Dr. Ohhiras, but ran out before pay day. Not to mention they use corn as a filler, which I cannot use.
Not yet get the result

I have been using this product 2x a day for 3 weeks. So far, I don't see or feel any benefits. I will continue to use this until it is gone and see if I feel any different or better.
No difference

After trying a few other probiotics, this was the first I felt disappointed in. The low price prevented me from being too bitter, however...
