In short: Brilliantly organised Date of review: November 12, 2011
In short: Great Race, Perfect atmosphere from a friendly clubIn full: I think the positive atmosphere from runners marshals and officials alike made this my favourite Marathon. With 105.5 laps to do I didn't think I'd be writing that. Faultless organisation for a 1st event.Date of review: November 8, 2011
In short: Absolutely fantastic event all round! Date of review: November 8, 2011
In short: Excellent race/organisation/support/banter/weather/goody bagIn full: What a fantastic day. Superbly organised. Everyone was so friendly & supportive. There was always someone to chat to which helped the laps pass by. It wasn't as much of a mental challenge as I thought it would be. i can't think of one negative at all. I hope it is on again next year. Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: Track Marathons - will I never learn.In full: Glad I did this but a week after Brentwood, maybe I wasn't fit for it. However there was a good bunch of folk there and hard as it was, 105.5 laps were doable. Particular praise for microphone mand and of course jellybaby/vaseline girl, have you ever seen as much vaseline in one hand!! The good bag was great and a rare treat in such a bag, lager! My one gripe which might be considered for next year. I KNOW man power was at a premium but more awareness of ones lap completion would be a big help rather than the 20 markers on the board which for the record never had my 100th crossed - bearing in mind ones mental fatigue at this point every little helps. With a 5 mile gaps before one sees ones status can be a long time.Dwell on the positive, yes, well done guys, I think it went very well.Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: Great atmosphere, not the mental trial I'd feared, very well organised.In full: Mention a track marathon and the immediate thought is 105 laps of stunning boredom....well think again. Great support, fluids and fuel on hand every 400m, a perfectly flat resilient track, music, cheering, dancing it had it all. But most importantly you get to share the experience with the whole field and even see the winner finish. If you start counting them there's as many if not more positives than negatives. Well done all who organised, supported and took part.Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: A surprisingly brilliant day, run 105 laps yes if its with the Sandbach Striders WELL DONEIn full: Very good organisation, excellent encouragement especially from microphone man, and jellybaby vaseline girl, sorry didnt get names. A runners race. I really wasnt sure whether i would enjoy this, but falling into step with another runner for 40laps helped a lot, Support trackside was BRILL from faster runners, organisers, and of course MICK N PHIL.Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: BrilliantIn full: V well organised, chip timing so no lap counting issues! Great goody bag,the best one ever with loads of food and other bits. Really hope they put this on again next yearDate of review: November 6, 2011
In short: FantasticIn full: I never imagined I'd enjoy this as much as I did. The laps flew by. Excellent organisation, great atmosphere and a course that offers the best chance of a pb. Congratulations to all who helped to organise this. I hope they do it again next year!Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Fab, friendly race and the best goody bag ever. If "other runners" count as scenery then the mark goes up to 5 :) Thanks to Sandbach Striders for your friendliness, and for a sound track that really made you want to run faster (and get it over withDate of review: November 6, 2011

BEIJING (AP) Dzhakhon Kurbanov, a light heavyweight from Tajikistan who bit his opponent on the shoulder in a quarterfinal bout, won't face additional sanctions or suspension by the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
Spokesman Richard Baker said Wednesday that Kurbanov's disqualification from the Olympic boxing tournament will be his only punishment for the bizarre infraction, which occurred with 17 seconds left in the third round of his bout with Kazakhstan's Yerkebulan Shynaliyev.
Kurbanov, who was trailing 12-6 at the time, apparently bit Shynaliyev during a clinch, leading the referee to stop the bout. Baker said doctors believe Kurbanov didn't draw blood, and that the blood seen on Shynaliyev's shoulder might have been from a cut on Kurbanov's face.
Kurbanov still had his mouthpiece in his mouth when he bit Shynaliyev, who clinched a medal with the victory and advanced to Friday's semifinals.

Micron Technology and Xilinx this week demonstrated an FPGA interfacing with RLDRAM 3 [reduced latency DRAM] memory, a new and emerging memory standard for high-end networking applications such as packet buffering and inspection, linked lists, and lookup tables.
Operating with Virtex-7 and Kintex-7 FPGAs at data rates up to 1600MHz, Micron's high-performance RLDRAM 3 memory combines high density, high bandwidth and fast SRAM-like random access to enable a 60% percent higher data rate and memory bandwidth compared to that of the previous generation (Virtex-6 FPGAs/RLDRAM2 memory standard). RLDRAM 3 memory uses innovative circuit design to minimize the time between the beginning of an access cycle and the instant that the first data is available. Ultra-low bus turnaround time enables higher sustainable bandwidth with near-term balanced read-to-write ratios.
RLDRAM 3 memory will power 40G and 100G networking systems that require higher speed, higher density, lower power and lower latency. Virtex-7 and Kintex-7 FPGAs are designed with the necessary IO standards and architectural components for optimal interfacing with RLDRAM 3, providing a significant boost to system performance for high-performance wireless and wired networking systems.
"The new RLDRAM 3 interface is ideal for Xilinx and Micron's mutual customers in the high-end networking space who require higher speed, higher density, lower power and lower latency. The RLDRAM 3 hardware demonstration shows how we are able to achieve a much more efficient transfer of network data," said Derek Curd, technical marketing manager at Xilinx.
Xilinx RLDRAM 3 memory interface IP core is available now with user configurable IP cores available in ISE Design Suite 13.4 in September 2012. Qualified Micron RLDRAM 3 memory devices are available now in x18 and x36 organizations across all speed grades from 800 to 1066MHz.

Topic: How to build when all test passes
I want to set up a continous build environment, so that ia any test fail it should not deploy the application. How to specify this condtion in Rakefile ?
Please help...

I want to set up a continous build environment, so that ia any test fail it should not deploy the application. How to specify this condtion in Rakefile ?
Please help...
Well, the very easiest way to do this is a simple hack. Just type:
rake && cap deploy
if the rake command (which is 'rake test:all' by default) fails it won't run the following commands on the line.
If you're on a Mac or *nix system you could put this in your ~/.bashrc file like this:
alias deploy='rake && cap deploy'
and then you'd just have to type 'deploy' to test your app and deploy it.
There was an article on this very subject released a couple days ago.
The problem is am using windows and the server is Mongrel. I am not using Capistrano for deployment. Am running the Rakefile from Luntbuild .In Rakefile I just copy the application on my test server to the development server. When I calling the rake it is doing the tests and copying the application to another server. But I don't know how to check if all test passes from the rake file so that, the copy task should perform when all test passes.
The main issue is how to check test status in rake file. I tried capistrano for the deployment, but it is showing errors
Please help.
Capistrano is just basically some rake tasks, so I think you can still apply the instructions in that article I linked to. Just call the run_tests task before you do the copy. I don't have much experience with Rake at all, but I think that will work. Worth a try anyway. You may need to change some things since you don't have the "release_path".

Ohana means family in Hawaiian.
For Jan Whitaker, that is exactly what CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana has become.
"After all these years, the athletes, the families, the volunteers, look after each other," she said.
"And we let paddling bring out the best in all of us."
CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana is a Paralympic Sport Club in West Henrietta, N.Y., that supports the growing sport of para-canoe, which will debut at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Paralympic Games.
"From the first day of our organization, we wanted to help athletes pursue their Paralympic dreams," Whitaker said. "But at the time when we started, para-canoe was not a part of the Paralympics, so we worked hard to get our athletes the opportunity to compete."
The sport has also expanded to have consistent national and world championships, which paved the way for inclusion in Rio. CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana has helped field the U.S. teams for major events.
"I do a lot of coaching to prepare the U.S. para-canoe team," Whitaker said "I have had an athlete on the para-canoe national team every year since 2009. Just a couple weeks ago in Lake Placid, two of the CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana athletes made the team and two others won silver medals. Every year, we've been successful in placing an athlete on the team and having other athletes on the podium."
Anja Pierce and Bob Balk will be representing the U.S. at the 2013 World Paracanoe Sprint Championships in Germany this August.
What is remarkable is that Whitaker, a retired physical education and health teacher, provides most of the CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana programming herself.
"I personally have provided 99 days of programming every year," Whitaker said. "I don't do it all on my own though. A paddler in Buffalo has volunteered eight days. A couple others have given their time when they can."
The club does not have any salaried employees.
"We're here because we love to paddle," Whitaker said.
CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana receives assistance from the Nazareth College physical therapy department. Every year in the winter, the department provides training to the paddlers.
"It is a win-win situation," Whitaker said. "Our athletes receive free, individualized training. The college sees a tremendous benefit as students can work directly with athletes who have physical disabilities. Students get comfortable before going out to clinics."
The organization serves about 250 athletes yearly, primarily in the summer, with Nazareth College filling in the gap in the winter.
The main event for the CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana is the Rochester River Challenge, an "end of the year finale" that will be held on Sept. 14 this year. It includes 40 seven-person teams competing in sprint races.
Teams race in 30 foot, double-hulled Hawaiian outrigger canoes rigged catamaran-style for safety. Each team paddles in two 300 meter sprints, with the lowest combined time winning.
"Each year since 2005, seven wounded warriors and a guest of their choice get to come to the Rochester River Challenge," Whitaker said. "The warrior participates in training and may compete in the races."
Veterans from two nearby medical centers participate.
"We are thankful to be a recipient of the Olympic Opportunity Fund grant, which helps us provide programming to our military athletes," she said.
The club primarily serves adults although some children partake in the programming.
"Everything we do is at a low cost to our participants, which allows us to get many people involved in many programs," he said.
CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana also allows disabled athletes' family and friends to participate in programs.
Connecting people through paddling has become Whitaker's life work.
"The best part is just to see athletes realize their dreams and the ability within themselves," she said. "To see a sport bring families together, it's very moving. It's hard to put into words. My paddlers are my greatest inspiration. I give my sincerest thanks to them for showcasing their ability to the world and creating opportunities for themselves."
CapeAbility Outrigger Ohana is a chapter of Disabled Sports USA.

City cutting down ash trees on boulevards
LA CROSSE, WI (WKBT) - The La Crosse landscape is changing. The city is cutting down ash trees on boulevards all over La Crosse, meaning you could soon lose a tree in your yard. Many of those trees are perfectly healthy but are still being cut down.
It's part of the cities ongoing effort to stop the spread of the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that kills off ash trees. Infected trees need to come down before they fall down, but the decision to cut all ash trees down was a financial one.
Friday, city crews went through the city cutting down smaller ash trees. "Once the trees are dead they become a lot more hazardous to remove because of limb sheering," says La Crosse Parks & Forestry Coordinator Cinthia Johnson, "so at this time if we can get them out before they start to really decline, it's ideal."
Getting to trees before they are dead and dangerous means taking down healthy trees as well. The decision is financial, it's cheaper to cut than to treat the 4,500 boulevard trees in the city. Homeowners who are fond of their trees do have options. "You can do a homeowner treatment which is much more reasonable in price," says Johnson, "or they could opt to do a professional treatment which is more effective but at a higher cost." About 160 homeowners are going the treatment route, but it's a long-term commitment. "Emerald ash borer might not ever leave our community," says Johnson, "because of the bluffs and along the river, EAB might not ever leave."23364560
One reason the ash borer is such a big problem actually dates back to the dutch elm disease outbreak that wiped out elms in La Crosse. "Rather than replacing with diverse species," says Johnson, "we actually replaced with just ash, so that's why our population of ash is so high in the city and the reason the insect can hop from tree to tree to tree."
The city is not making the same mistake twice, they are replacing the trees they cut down with a more diverse population. It's a task that will take years. "Our goal is to have everything done in 5 years but if all the trees are dead and dying in the city and it takes longer for us to remove them, that might have to be extended out," says Johnson.
The city will be replacing the boulevard trees they cut down as money becomes available in the budget. Homeowners who don't want to wait can get a permit and plant a tree at their own expense. For more information you can go to the parks and rec department page www.cityoflacrosse.org.
The city is also looking ahead to the next problem. The Asian Longhorn Beetle has been found in Wisconsin, it attacks and kills maple trees. For that reason the city strongly discourages homeowners from planting maples.

Welcome to the School Psychology Program
USM offers a Psy.D. degree (Doctor of Psychology) in school psychology. The Psy.D. Program content includes comprehensive studies that integrate general psychological content, methodology, and research with educational principles and practitioner skills.
The USM Psy.D. Program is based on principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Our program philosophy includes a focus on ABA, data-based decision-making, and problem solving practices. Together these three areas form the foundation of the knowledge and skills that graduates will learn.
The Psy.D. Program Sheet details the program of study (see Resources). Students complete a total of 111 graduate credit hours. Psy.D. students demonstrate competency for school psychology practice through coursework, dissertation, and a 2,000 clock hour internship, working under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Internships may be completed outside of Maine, pending the approval of program faculty.
The USM School Psychology Program conforms to the training standards specified by the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), the Maine Department of Education, and the Maine Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Graduates may choose to sit for the examination leading to licensure by the Maine Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Individuals graduating from this program are also eligible for certification as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP), and for certification by the Maine Department of Education as a School Psychologist-Doctoral.
Program Philosophy
The USM Psy.D. in School Psychology program has a core philosophy
based on principles and methods of applied behavior analysis (ABA). The Psy.D. Program is based on three fundamental conceptual models. The first is data-based decision-making and accountability. This is the organizing theme that permeates the training of school psychology practitioners and defines a best practices approach to service delivery.
Psy.D. Home and Over View Pages
Within this model, school psychology practitioners utilize assessment methods and interventions that are empirically-based. This means that assessments have been demonstrated to be reliable, valid and accurate. Moreover, school psychology practitioners use and endorse only those interventions that have been subjected to scientific analysis and have yielded socially meaningful outcomes. In short, the program prepares graduates who will be practitioner-scientists.
The second conceptual foundation is a problem solving model. Within this model, school psychologists utilize a collaborative problem solving approach in offering a continuum of services that include assessment, interventions (e.g., instructional planning, social skills training, positive behavioral supports) and consultation. While norm-referenced diagnostic assessment may be a part of this process, an emphasis is placed on the use of criterion-referenced, curriculum-based, and functional behavior assessments to address academic, social-emotional, and behavioral issues of referred students.
The final conceptual framework is based on a Stimulus-Organism-Response-Consequence (S-O-R-C) model of human behavior (Nelson & Hayes, 1985; Shapiro & Kratochwill, 2000). Within this model, human behavior is viewed as a complex interaction of external and internal variables. The primary purpose of assessment is to identify and accurately measure those variables that interfere with and/or contribute to a person's acquisition of academic, social, and behavioral skills. The results of assessments are used as the basis for designing individually tailored interventions that promote the development of socially meaningful behaviors.
Based on these models and professional standards, students in the USM School Psychology program receive training in the following areas prior to and during the practicum/internship phases of the program:
- norm-referenced cognitive assessment (e.g., the Wechsler and
- Woodcock-Johnson series)norm-reference-behavioral assessment, including self-report measures (e.g., the Achenbach, Conner's, and BASC series)
- functional behavior assessment (e.g., indirect, direct, and analogue)
- curriculum-based assessment (academic, social and adaptive living skills)
- clinical interviews
- multi-tier systems of support, including positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) and response to intervention
- academic improvement
- social skills training
- individual and group counseling
- applied research and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions
- single case experimental design
Consistent with APA, ASPPB, and NASP ethical standards, graduates of the program are expected to maintain a rigorous course of professional development throughout their careers and are bound to limit their practice to competencies and populations in which they are trained.

I decided to try the Honeybush tea because I just love the Riobos & Honeybush tea. This is good, but I still like the other one better!

I simply love it!

I'm so glad I gave this a try! It has a delightful flavor. Even my Japanese husband prefers this hot tea over green tea and there is no caffeine so we can drink it at night!
Love this tea!

In humans, calcium is the most abundant mineral and forms about 2% of our total body weight. Almost all of this calcium is found in the skeleton and the rest is found in the teeth, the blood plasma, the body's soft tissues and the extracellular fluid.
The main role of calcium in the body is to provide structure and strength to the skeleton. This structure is mainly provided by a form of calcium phosphate called hydroxyapatite crystals, which are found in collagen. Calcium ions on bone surfaces interact with those present in the bodily fluids, therefore enabling ion exchange. This is essential in maintaining the balance of calcium in the blood and bone. Calcium in the blood is an important regulator of key bodily processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse signalling, hormone signalling and blood coagulation.
Calcium needs to be obtained from the diet as it is not manufactured by the body. The main sources of calcium in the diet are milk, dairy products and other calcium-rich foods such as fish with edible bones (e.g sardines and anchovies), beans, tofu, spinach, watercress and broccoli.
Some foods are also fortified with calcium such as milk, yogurt, breakfast cereals, rice, and even biscuits. Calcium can also be taken as a supplement and may be prescribed to lactating women or growing children, for example, to prevent deficiencies.
Calcium deficiency leads to poor bone health and may be caused by inadequate calcium intake, poor calcium absorption or excess calcium loss, all of which may reduce bone mineralization. Bone conditions such as osteoporosis and rickets are caused by a vitamin D deficiency, which impairs the intestinal absorption of calcium and, in turn, leads to a low rate of bone mineralization. The bones therefore become soft, pliable and prone to deformity.

Applications for mobile phones are getting more and more popular these days since general consumers have finally started to utilize advanced capabilities of their cell phones. Nowadays new applications are proliferating and application stores are springing up. But most of today's applications need handsets with robust computing power, limiting their potential market. ABI Research firm believes that cloud computing will enable performance-hungry apps on almost any mobile phones.
"Mobile application developers today face the challenge of multiple mobile operating systems. Either they must write for just one OS, or create many versions of the same application. More sophisticated apps require significant processing power and memory in the handset," said senior analyst Mark Beccue from ABI.
A new architecture based on software running in the cloud will drastically change the way mobile applications are developed, acquired, and used. According to a new study from ABI Research, this will be a profoundly disruptive development that could eclipse the current mobile application model by 2014, delivering revenue of nearly $20 billion annually by the end of that year.
"Using Web development, applications can run on servers instead of locally, so handset requirements can be greatly reduced and developers can create just one version of an application. This trend is in its infancy today, but ABI Research believes that eventually it will become the prevailing model for mobile applications," explained Mr. Beccue.
This approach is not without challenges, chief among which is intermittent network availability. A cloud-based application stops working if you lose your connection. However new programming languages such as HTML 5 will enable data caching on the handset, allowing work to continue until cellular signal is restored.
"Cloud computing will bring unprecedented sophistication to mobile applications. To mention just a few examples, business users will benefit from collaboration and data sharing apps. Personal users will gain from remote access apps allowing them to monitor home security systems, PCs or DVRs, and from social networking mashups that let them share photos and video or incorporate their phone address books and calendars," noted the analyst.
Earlier this year Intel Corp. kicked off research to enable cloud computing technologies for mobile devices. Intel's Clone Cloud research aims to make it possible to execute rich applications on resource-constrained mobile devices by off-loading computation to available cloud resources in nearby datacenters. The idea is to "clone" the entire set of data applications from the mobile device onto the cloud and selectively execute some operations on the clones, reintegrating results back to the mobile device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gold Simple, but Smart Looking & Technically Advanced The size small fit measurements of 34Dbra/36", 29" waist, 35.5" hips, 127lbs., 5'4" height. Good quality makes the simple look of this raincoat attractive. I like the mustard color because it works well with black and charcoal grey. The technical advanced fabric, hood and pockets add a reason to acquire this particular raincoat. February 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by happytraveller1945 So Happy! Am travelling to Paris in April and this raincoat fits the bill exactly. The quality, style & fit are all excellent. I am so happy that I finally found something that is light to pack & very stylish for the Parisians. It is of a fabric that will even take me into the evening at the moulin rouge with a nice scarf, etc. I am so excited to have found it & look forward to doing more shopping with travel smith. Grateful for your site! Thankyou March 8, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Spring13 I love this rain coat This coat is feminine and elegant at the same time. It's lightweight and seems to keep me warm if it's cooler outside but still work well if the temperature goes up. May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Windswept I don't know what I ever did without this slicker! Lots of pockets, and lots of compliments. May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ozgirl Perfect Read many reviews of the jackets on this site. Wanted stylish, waterproof, hood and a lining. This jacket has it ALL. 12 days in Europe with rain 90% of the time in May needed a jacket that was waterproof, stylish and not bulky. Kept me dry and warm. My only regrets are....I did not buy the yellow one (it would make a happy statement) as everyone has blue or black. You will be happy with this jacket in every way. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paxsong Wonderful travel raincoat/light coat Took this coat on a two week trip to Spain/Portugal early June. We had cool nights in some cities as well as cold air in the mountains. This was the perfect wrap for the trip along with light cotton sweater underneath for layering. It worked well as a raincoat, especially since I was caught without my umbrella one time! By the time I was ready to take it off, it was completely dry. It folds up small so you can tuck it into your hand luggage easily, is extremely light weight and does not wrinkle! Several members of our tour group asked me where I found it and have already ordered one for themselves. I bought the yellow -- looks just like the picture. I wear size 8-10, bought the medium, and it fit me well. Length is perfect. The pockets were very helpful. The hood came in handy when it rained. When it isn't raining, the hood rolls up and zippers into a pocket so that it looks like a nice collar - even stylish. Well worth the money. So glad I took this one with me. June 14, 2013

Today I was late for my work. When I wake up, it was already a quarter to nine (my working time is nine o'clock). I had always waiting for the reminding of alarm but only to find the alarm dereliction of duty and that I was late. My mobile phone is iPhone4S, a high-end smartphone; but it went strike in today's morning. I do not complain the handset; maybe I do not completely know service regulations. However, this thing makes me think of the 300-yuan Nokia feature phone bought in 2008.
Despite the small screen, cumbersome body and less functions and experience, it had never disrupt me in such aspects; it can be said I completely trust the outdated or ugly feature phone, even when I had important examinations in next day. Along with the high quality, I really miss the feature phone. However, based on the development momentum of smartphone, the feature phone will be replaced sooner or later, maybe after several years.
In 2012, global smartphone is expected to ship 717.5 million units, a year-over-year increase of 45.1%, while feature phone is gradually scaling down shipments and decline growth rate, due to the price cutting of smartphone and the fierce competition among manufacturers. In terms of China's mobile market, 2013 may see smartphone shipments exceed feature phone for the first time. Meanwhile, great change also happens on mobile phone makers. According to the latest handset report, smartphone manufacturer Samsung supposed Nokia, ranking the first; in addition, the smartphone components suppliers Qualcomm and Broadcom also benefited from the rapid development of smartphone in 2012 with market shares growing to 27.2% and 9.5%, respectively. Furthermore, semiconductor in the field of smartphone also became important support to global semiconductor market.
Intelligence and automation has been the trend for current various industries. The use of sensor largely ramp up the process of smart world. Smart home, smart TV, smartphone and so on are walking toward us. Undoubtedly, the smart world brings us a lot of convenience, such as improving medical level, decreasing traffic accidents, offering more entertainment, etc.
But as the saying goes everything has two sides. The emergence of modern devices also complicates our life and distances the mutual relationship. I still remembered the interactive games at the time of my childhood, full of happiness, exercise and health. However, due to the crowding of smartphone, game console, Tablet PC and notebook, currently, kids can live without friends; people greatly reduce the return-home time; there are more indoorsmen and indoorswomen and less communications between parents and children; just as my alarm in this morning, the increasingly increase of chips, sensors and other parts will also stimulate the original functions, resulting in the strike.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Using the Right Investment Tools
This program last aired on Oct. 19.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer opened his investing toolbox to help make his "Mad Money" viewers become better investors.
He said a good investor knows to expect the unexpected, which is why diversification is still the only way to invest.
Cramer start off with a lesson in humility -- he admitted that sometimes he gets it wrong. Sometimes his stock picks just simply don't work out. That's investing. Any investor putting together an investing portfolio needs to be prepared, said Cramer, because sooner or later something won't work out.
But how should investors prepare for the next market catastrophe or stock pick gone bad? Cramer said not by being bearish, but by being smart.
Being a bear, he continued, means shorting stocks hoping they go down. While that's a valid investing strategy, it limits one's profit potential since the lowest a stock can go is zero.But compare that to bullish investing, betting that stocks go higher. Their potential profits are limitless, he said. Investors who invested in Apple(AAPL) in 2009, for example, realized a 580% gain over the next three years.
Beyond having a positive outlook, Cramer said the most important rule to managing your money is diversification. He said that means not having all your eggs in one sector basket. A portfolio with five stocks must have only one technology company, one health-care name, one energy company, one industrial, etc. Two or three of a kind is a quick way to get caught off guard, so no more than 20% of a portfolio can be in a single sector.
Being diversified is more than just investing in different sectors, however. Cramer said the new rules of diversification also require owning some gold in your portfolio, along with a high-yielding dividend stock, as well as a growth stock, a speculative stock and one that's firmly rooted in a healthy geography.
Check the Dividends
Cramer said the most important category of stocks that must be in a diversified portfolio is a high-yielding dividend stock. He said that every portfolio needs at least one, possibly more, dividend payers.
While dividend stocks might not seem sexy, Cramer said that, put simply, dividends make money. In fact, nearly 40% of the total gains from the S&P 500 since 1926 have come in the form of dividends. Over the past decade, that percentage is even higher.
Dividends aren't merely safety plays for retirees and cautious investors, said Cramer. They are a smart strategy for making money. He explained that as a stock price falls, its dividend yield increases, which in turn makes in more attractive to investors. Stocks that hit a 4% yield represent terrific long-term bargains, he noted, which is why stocks typically stop going down once they hit 4%.

Learning ArithmeticPosted Friday, December 21, 2012, at 1:51 PM
Looking back at my early school days, I now realize that I was not what you would call an exceptionally bright student. Anyway, by the time I was 8 years old, I was in the second grade, and I could count to 100. Up until that time, I had to take my shoes off any time I wanted to count above 10.
When I was in the third grade, my teacher said that I should start learning to add, subtract, divide, and multiply. In other words, I should start learning arithmetic. I told the teacher that this sure sounded like a mighty big undertaking to start all this at one time, so she said that we would just start out with addition. As an example, she said that 2 + 2 = 4.
I didn't argue with her, but just to make sure that she was right, I went by the apple tree on my way home from school that afternoon and picked a pocket full of apples. When I got home I put two apples on one end of the table. Then I put two more apples on the table and, sure enough, that made four. While I wasn't looking, my little brother ate one of my apples, and that just left three. I told my teacher about this, and she said that I had not only learned addition, I had also learned a problem in subtraction. My little brother also learned that one large green apple equals one big stomachache.
The next day, my teacher said that, not only did 2 + 2 = 4, she said that 2 x 2 = 4, and I thinks to myself, this is going to be easy, so I moved right on, up to 3 + 3 = 6, and 3 x 3 = 6, - 4 + 4 = 8 and 4 x 4 = 8, but my teacher told me it didn't work that way, so there I was, back to taking off my shoes again.
Anyway, I finally got lined out on arithmetic, and every thing was going real good, until my tenth birthday. I went to school on that day, and the teacher told me that I should go home immediately. She said that all those red spots on my face indicated that I was coming down with the measles. However, she changed her mind about sending me home when I told her that my mother had decided that it was time for me to start learning how to eat my beans and taters with a fork.
I was moving right along. When I was 18, I was in high school, and there I got into algebra and geometry. Among other problems I was asked to solve, there was one where I could measure the distance across a river without ever going over to the other side. I finally figured out how to do this, but, like using the apples to make sure that 2 + 2 = 4, I had to swim Castor River five times to convince myself that this theory was correct.
I have always heard that mathematics is an exact science, and that any mathematical problem can be solved if the basic elements of the equations are known. This may be true, however, there was one experience in my life that caused me to have some doubts regarding this theory, and I am hoping that one of my better-educated readers will help me solve this problem.
It all started one day while I was out squirrel hunting. My old dog, "Ky-Rucus" treed a squirrel in a big elm tree. This tree was hollow from the ground to the top, and there were two knot-holes in the side of this tree. One of these holes was about 20 feet from the ground and the other one was about 20 feet higher up. When I got to the tree and before I could shoot this squirrel, he ran into the hole closest to the ground, and very soon stuck his head out the hole farther up the tree. Then he came back down the tree and stuck his head out the lower hole.
This squirrel kept moving from one hole to the other, so I looked at my watch and noted that it took him 16 seconds to move from the top hole, down to the lower hole. The next time, it took him 14 seconds, then 12 seconds, then 10 seconds, and this time when he stuck his head out the hole I shot him, which deprived me of my only chance to solve this very perplexing problem.
Since this squirrel was moving from one hole to the other and gaining two seconds every time he made the trip, I have always wondered how many trips this squirrel would have had to make, before he would have his head sticking out of both of these holes at the same time.

Paul Corbin is a 100-year-old historian, humorist, and amateur archaeologist from Advance, Mo. He grew up in the Greenbrier area west of Advance, where he attended Stepp School on the banks of Cato Slough and the Castor River, important waterways throughout his life. In an age when many area residents did not go to high school, the young Corbin made the decision to walk the five miles to Zalma, graduating in 1933. Throughout his life, he was an enterprising businessman, selling Watkins products from house to house throughout a large area - and later opening a variety store in Advance. He and his wife Geneva traveled throughout the United States, even following the route that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled. His knowledge of Native American culture is extensive, and he has donated a sizeable collection of his artifacts to the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center and the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill. Throughout the years, he has submitted articles to TBY, the North Stoddard Countian, the Ozark Mountaineer, and several other Missouri publications. He has also written two books - "Reflections in Missouri Mud," and "Fragments of my Feeble Mind." The first one is out of print.

Conservation Status
Although this species is very wide ranging and common, it is subject to human-induced problems because of capture by inshore fisheries and its attractiveness for the marine aquarium fish trade. Another major threat to this species is the destruction of its coral reef habitat. Without a habitat in which to live, this species may be pushed to extinction along with other species of the coral reef habitat. (McEachran, 2004)

Long emo style dye dip hairstyle
One of the easiest ways to style hair with minimal cutting is through color. Here, long straight black hair is dip-dyed into red. The striking auburn makes a nice contrast to the nondescript brunette, and plays well against black wing-tipped eyes and green contacts. Layers provide movement and make even finger-combing sufficient.

Steel BakerMy question is after the dough is fermented overnight in the refrigerator, do you allow it to warm up or do you immediately place it into the oiled pan and do the stretching? pat
Thanks for the info Steel Baker. This has been quite a thread. I appreciate the effort you have put into it.What I have done is to condense all the info in this thread and You Tube into step by step instructions in the attachmentthat I have included. I would appreciate any comments or corrections. Maybe somebody else will find it useful.pat
SB, as a point of clarification, padakat's attachment says HG bread flour. Is this correct? Do you use BF or HG flour, or is there a HGBF? I usually see either BF or HG flour but not HGBF. Or is perhaps HGBF really just short for HG flour?Thanks,Chau
Either will work fine. I use Bread Flour. I think some people refer to all bread four as High Gluten Bread Flour. I've referred to it that way previously as a novice pizza baker.
steel_baker,You did a very nice job with the video.I'd like to take a stab at calculating the thickness factor for your recipe so that it can be used in one of the dough calculating tools to make pizzas for different sizes of pans than the one you used in the video. However, I note that you indicated the weight of the IDY to be 9 grams in one post and 8 grams in another. The standard weight for a packet of IDY is 7 grams. You didn't weigh the IDY for the video but I assume that the number I would use is 7 grams. For the rest of the ingredients, I would use the weights that you measured out in the video (except for the oil). Does this sound like the correct approach to take?Peter
Steel Baker I might have missed it if you mentioned it, but when you make 2 pies do you double the recipe, I made a double recipe yesterday for tonight's pies using a bread machine for the kneading Chet
s_b,I forgot to ask you if the salt that is used in the dough is Kosher salt (since that is what you put on the dough when in the pan) and, if so, what brand?Also, have you ever practiced your recipe using a round pan, like a deep-dish pan?Peter
I generally use approx 8oz of the cheese blend for each 12x17 pan I bake so just using the same ratio based upon the area of the pan should give you a number of just over 3 oz of cheese.
Norma,I know you aren't crazy about math, but the calculation for the cheese blend is (8 x 10)/(12 x 17) x 8 = 3.14 ounces, or about 79.5 grams. Half of that will be cheddar and the other half will be the mozzarella cheese.You didn't ask how much crushed tomato or onion or peanut oil to use with your 8" x 10" pan, but the ratio of the areas of the two pans, 0.392, also applies to those three items. So:Crushed tomatoes = 0.392 x 28 ounces = 10.98 ounces (or 11 ounces rounded), or about 311 grams, by weightOnion = 0.392 x 1/2 onion = 0.195, or about a fifth of an onionPeanut oil (1 1/2 to 2 ounces, by volume, for the pan) = 0.392 x 1.5 = 0.59 ounces to 0.392 x 2 = 0.784 ounces, by volume (this is about 3 3/4 t. to about 5 t.)The same approach applies to round pizzas also, as you can see from Tom Lehmann's posts in this thread from the PMQ Think Tank: http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6169&hilit=.Peter
Norma,Just to add some local knowledge regarding VP pizza, it's not a heavily topped pizza. The star of this pizza is the wonderful crispy bottomed crust and the hint of onion flavor with the tomatoes in the sauce. With that in mind, it's important to not use too much sauce or cheese. People who have done this (I think we all have that tendency when making pizza) find that the dough doesn't cook properly in the center. I am absolutely anal when it comes to "balance" in pizza. Too many restaurants that think they make wonderful pizza don't understand that a great pizza is one that is balanced. It must have a great crust and the proper (as in not too much) topping.The mouth feel of this pizza has a crispy bottom and a soft rich top. The juxtaposition of those textures combined with the flavor is one of the qualities in this pizza that makes it so amazing and makes people come back for it again & again.I take it from your location that you're in SE PA, probably in Berks, Adams, or Lancaster County. This would put Victory Pig at only a 2 hr drive for you. Take a drive up to the Victory Pig BBQ in Wyoming sometime & check it out.

Topic: JS tinymce-rails js file not getting included after deployment
I installed tinymce-rails gem, and included the coffeescript include so that the wysiwyg editor appears on a particular view. I added it to assets/javascripts/application.js file as shown below;
//= require tinymce-jquery
This works great when running on webrick on local machine. It worked fine in the development environment, and after tweaking a couple of variables in the production.rb file it started working locally as well in production environment.
However once I deploy to my webhost (webbynode) and open the view that the editor is supposed to appear in, the javascript for tinymce does not get included. I played a bit with some of the variables in the environment/production.rb file which seemed to make a difference locally, but it did not make a difference in the hosted environment. Any ideas on this?

I'm not a narcissist. But Clay Shirky thinks I should be.
The media critic recently posted a controversy-mongering blog titled "A Rant About Women," the premise being that women would do well to act more like men — stand up for themselves more and do what it takes to get ahead, even if it means being a "pompous blowhard":
[Women] are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards, even a little bit, even temporarily, even when it would be in their best interests to do so. Whatever bad things you can say about those behaviors, you can't say they are underrepresented among people who have changed the world.

By Roger Shapiro
It's been 87 years since a young Methodist left California to enter Princeton Seminary with a trunkful of belongings and the promise of the use of a friend's textbooks.
It's been 77 years since he was on campus, yet he can clearly recall the names and locations of buildings that were here when he was a seminarian.
It's been 83 years since he earned his Th.M., and he remembers needing permission to be excused from commencement.
And across all those years, Victor Wellington "VW" Peters (Th.B., 1927; Th.M., 1928) made his mark on the world as a missionary in Korea, a minister, a professor, an illustrator, a musician, a family historian, and a man of many, many talents.
"He is also very special for another reason," said Rosemary Mitchell, vice president for Seminary Relations. "At 108, VW has the distinct honor of being our oldest alumnus. He has seen us evolve as a school and campus, making his perspective particularly enlightening as we head toward our Bicentennial Celebration in 2012."
That perspective began to be shaped in the summer of 1924 at Princeton's "Dinky" train station after a long journey from California. "I remember hauling my trunk up from the railroad station. I arrived in the evening andsomebody showed me a room in Brown Hall for me to stay in,"Peters said recently during aSkype video call from his home in Las Vegas, Nevada. While it's a technology he has used for other interviews, he marvels at the capability; "I never imagined anything like this when I was in school."
Once settled in Brown Hall, he quickly appreciated what Princeton—the town, the Seminary, and the university-- had to offer in the 1920s. In his 1984 memoirs, Peters's Progress, Peters recalled his first impression. "Arriving in the historic town of Princeton, his heart is captured by its mellow quaintness andGothic dignity. The first Sunday, he awakes to the ecstatic peal of chimes.It's as if angels were troopingdown. Many a Sunday afternoon, shadows deepen over stained glass windows while toccatas and fugues pour tumultuously from a mighty organ, as if to transport mortals up to heaven," he wrote.
At Princeton Seminary in those days there was no Mackay Campus Center; much of the social life on campus centered around eating clubs.
"There were four eating clubs at that time: Benham Club, The Friar's Club, Calvin Club, and The Seminary Club," said Peters. "After arriving on campus, we spent a week at each club. Then we voted on what clubs we wanted to join and the clubs had their votes on us, also."
The Seminary Club, which became the Warfield Club in 1927, was behind Miller Chapel on 29 Alexander Street and was Peters's choice. "I had a good friend, Clarence Wright (Th.B., 1926), who was a year ahead of me. He told me to join the club he was in," Peters said.
To help new students acclimate, the club required everyone to eat meals together."The club assigned us seats once a week. That way, by moving among the four tables, we got acquainted with each other. I was a steward one year and planned all the meals," he said.
While Peters remained a member of The Seminary Club for four years, he was only in Brown Hall for two years, moving into Alexander Hall for his senior Th.B. year and his Th.M. year.
But he didn't just move into any room.
He was given the room directly below professor J. Gresham Machen, then the assistant professor of New Testament literature and exegesis, and one of Peters's two favorite teachers. The other was Charles Erdman, then professor of practical theology and today the namesake of The Erdman Center.
"Dr. Machen was single. So he had permission to live on the top floor of Alexander Hall. And he had permission from the faculty to ask any student he wanted to occupy the room under his. He picked me, he said, 'because I know you will be quiet,'" said Peters.
Machen was mostly right, until Peters was given a guitar. "I tried a piece and immediately a tap-tap-tap on the radiator told me to be quiet. So I never again played the guitar when I knew Dr. Machen was there."
Enrolled during a major fundamentalist-modernist controversy on campus, Peters took Machen's classes on Greek and on the origins of Paul's religion.
"He was a clown," recalls Peters. "He would balance his chair on two legs and that kept him busy keeping his balance. Then, with a smile on his face, he would start piling books on top of his head. And, as if nothing were unusual, he would talk to the class with books on top of his head. He made Greek classes humorous."
Machen was known for his jokes, although Peters remembers his repertoire containing only a few that he told over and over.
"He had four jokes that he told every year. When the student body got together, always they would call on Dr. Machen. 'We want a joke,' they would call out. And he would sit there until they got very vociferous. He would pretend he didn't want to tell a joke, but of course he expected to. And finally, he acted very reluctant. He would get up and say 'You don't want a joke.' And there was a cry, 'Yes, a joke.' Then he would ask us which one. They were the same jokes every year and we learned them all."
Erdman, on the other hand, "was the personification of politeness. Everything about him was good manners. He always did the right thing, so you never expected jokes," said Peters, who took every class Erdman taught.
One of Erdman's traditions was to host a Christmas dinner for students who could not get home for the holidays. Being from California, Peters never went home for Christmas. During his first three years on campus, friends took him to their homes. "But in my last year, all my classmates had graduated. I was the only one who stayed for a master's degree and I had no invitation from a fellow student. Dr. Erdman invited me to his house that Christmas."
That master's year also led to Peters finding a calling that would influence him forever; he was called to serve as a missionary in Korea, a role he filled until 1941.
After completing his Th.B. in 1927, Peters was undecided about his next move. He debated teaching in Guadalajara, Mexico, and doing evangelism in Korea. But not feeling truly prepared for either, he stayed in Princeton to study Greek and the Wesleyan revival.
"In those days, Princeton brought missionaries in to lecture on various countries. In 1928, the emphasis was on Korea, and a group of missionaries spent a week on campus," said Peters, noting that most Americans had not heard of Korea in the 1920s. "On Sunday night following those lectures, I attended Nassau Church [today is Nassau Presbyterian Church]. While sitting before the sermon, I heard a voice. It was just like a person sitting next to me who said, 'You are going to be a missionary in Korea.' The voice was very distinctly audible to me, but, of course, nobody else heard anything. So I immediately wrote to our Methodist mission board and told them of my divine call to Korea and asked them to send me to Korea."
Peters went through a speedy application process that presented one minor hitch: mission board members had to interview him in Nashville, Tennessee. "I talked to the faculty and told them God had called me to Korea, but the mission board was meeting on the same day as our commencement. They did excuse me and I couldn't attend my commencement," he said.
The board approved Peters's application and soon he was on a ship to Korea, "I was asleep when we first docked in the harbor. I remember waking up and looking out the port window and there was a beautiful blue harbor and a pine-covered mountain behind it. And I saw the white-clad people—all Koreans wore white in those days— and I thought I had never seen anything so beautiful or colorful. On the roofs of the houses, they were drying red peppers. Right away I saw brilliant reds, whites, and blues. I had a beautiful impression of Korea. It was an immediate love affair and I knew I would stay there the rest of my life," he said.

Peters arrived in Korea unable to speak the language, yet he was able to deliver his first sermon, in Korean, within two months and he mastered the language within eight months. He was single for ten years, which he says Koreans couldn't understand, but eventually married Hahn Heung Bok, a musician and Bible teacher, on February 12, 1938. That marriage, which included a celebration costing ten dollars, continued for sixty-one years and created a legacy seen today in four children, eight grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
Peters also created a legacy through his documentation. While in Korea, he continually wrote letters about his work and experiences, painted pictures of the country and its people, and wrote stories and poetry that captured what he loved about the country. Most of those letters were preserved in boxes in his garage. In 2006, he donated them to the University of Southern California, his undergraduate alma mater, and they are available digitally through the school's The Rev. V.W. Peters Collection in its Korean Heritage Library.
Two of his pamphlets, Korean Sketches and Springtide, are in the Princeton Seminary library, and he will be giving the Seminary a copy of Peters's Progress later this year.
"I shared my missionary experiences because many people were contributing to my salary and work in Korea. I wanted them to know what was happening there. My mother was the Methodist Church's district missionary president, and she and my father traveled all around Los Angeles promoting missions. They often shared my letters to give a current picture of missions in Korea. That is one reason why it was not a hard decision to make my letters public. If one person can learn something or be changed by my writing, I am humbly thankful," he said.
Anyone reading those letters today gets a sense of his day-to-day life, his work as a missionary, and his love of Korea. "From the time I arrived in Korea, I loved it and its people. I wanted to live as they did, and become one of them. When I moved into a small Korean home, and began to live like them, I felt comfortable and at home. When we built the Kimwha church, I designed it as a Korean building, with Korean symbols and style. Nothing of the Western style and culture was evident in it. I wanted the Korean people to feel Jesus belonged to them, and was not imported by the West," he said.
While Peters loved Korea and planned to stay forever, his missionary work stopped in December 1941. "War was imminent. They wanted us out of Korea before the war started. Otherwise, we would be interred for the duration of the war," he said.
He and his wife returned to Korea only once, in 1976, participating in the ninetieth anniversary of Ewha Womans University, where she was an alumna, and where Princeton Seminary trustee Sang Chang (Ph.D., 1977) is president emerita. Chang is also the first woman appointed prime minister-designate in South Korea.
Today, Peters lives with his daughter, Grace Alexander, in Las Vegas, Nevada. "While he's lost his hearing, we are fortunate to have dad so healthy. He's doing well for a man who is 108," she said.

Just the name is singing "buy me!" I was iffy about purchasing this with such a high price tag on it but after using it daily, a little goes a long way and will last forever.
Posted by Reviewer1274361 on Apr 01, 2011
love the vanilla tast:)
Use stevia sparingly
Posted by Reviewer2905303 on Apr 04, 2011
The only time I ever encounter an aftertaste with NuNaturals stevia is when I don't follow the directions on the bottle. Applying more drops than recommended on the label will give you not more sweetness but a flat, metallic aftertaste. Used sparingly, this has a sucrose flavor without the diabetes. Combines well with maple flavoring or Ceylon cinnamon.

Implications for practice and research
■ Multiple intervention strategies that are targeted to patient-specific areas of risk prevent patient falls.
Patient falls are a commonly occurring adverse event in acute care hospitals. Risk factors for falls are well established. Until recently, there were no intervention protocols known to prevent falls in acute hospital settings.1
Ang et al conducted a prospective randomised control trial (RCT) on eight units in an acute care hospital to evaluate the effectiveness of targeted multiple interventions. Patients were screened for fall risk on admission using the Hendrich II Falls Risk Model …

When he toured w/ Sheila E, I was very hesitant but she got two standing ovations and on at least one show the crowd cheered her drum solo more than they cheered any Ringo Number.
Colin Hay of Men at Work was another that made me go "oh-gosh, I'm not sure I'm gonna go this time around" but I was very happy I did. He has such an amazing voice and I was introduced to some of his later solo gems.
Hamish Stewart, though not much to talk about on his first All Star tour, definitely brought it on his second go around.
And last but not least..... let us not forget the amazing Edgar Winter! need I say more.
Sure the new tours have been lacking some of the giants, and it would be nice to see him tour with some more of the great artists of the 60s and 70s, but lets face it most of them aren't worth paying to see anymore. Very few are able to perform at a fraction of the level they used to.
The last Ringo concert I saw was in July of last year and I can saw without a doubt that of every concert I have seen (well over a hundred by now) this was the single greatest performance by any artist. Ringo is a master when it comes to his stage presence. Its hard to explain, even the recent Summer Live tour, though more fun and an excellent performance, still did not live up to Ringo's excellent performance. Now I'm not really talking about the rest of the All Stars at this point, only Ringo. Its hard to put in words what Ringo has, I guess you should see it for yourself. Here's hoping he still has a couple more tours in him, and lets not hold our breath but maybe one will be a Ringo only tour.
Very cool response!! I have to admit I'm going but what I have heard & seen & those are NOT in person. I AGREE TOTALLY that Ringo himself is really charismatic & does a great job on his material...and no arguments about Shelia E. either. And to be fair there have been a few better performers (Rod Argent, Paul Carrack, Edgar Winter) on these last three tours...but...or should I say BUT...it is still a very far ways away from those earlier 7 incarnations, let alone the glory of the first two. Not having actually seen them I can only comment second hand & I'm thrilled to hear about your report about how great Ringo was!!
