One of the frustrating things about being a trend follower is that it takes time to overcome the inertia of a new system, particularly if that system is based upon slightly longer time periods such as weekly data. Part of the frustration that traders encounter is based upon the simple mechanics of how systems work. A system that is correctly designed takes its losses quickly and allows its profitable trades to simply roll along.
This results in the system instantly going into drawdown and it is this drawdown that causes traders to develop friction with their system. This friction often leads to tinkering as they attempt to force the system to give them something it cannot give. This is exacerbated in times of a flat market – you cannot force returns from a market. The All Ords of late has not really been a stand out performer as can be seen from the chart below the market has been slowly grinding its way up in a broad channel.
With this in mind I thought I would look at the yearly returns for the various stocks within the All Ords – so I found some data on their percentage returns and stuck it into a frequency histogram to see what the performance of individual stocks looked like.
Please visit this link for the charts and images that come with this article: http://tradinggame.com.au/where-is-the-money/?utm_source=Blog+Subscribers&utm_campaign=2e70d91994-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_eb90516269-2e70d91994-43344013
I have a arranged the data into a serious of blocks and did a count of the number that fell into that category. I also calculated the average performance of the group which for this period stood at 17.09%. However, if I drop out the 200% and above outliers this average value falls to 13.04%. As you might have guessed the majority of values cluster around the mean with a long right handed tail. This sort of distribution is common with stocks since we have unlimited upside but limited downside – a stock cannot decline more than 100%.
Our psychology dictates that we are instantly drawn to the right hand side of the chart and the extreme outliers that occurred over the past year. And as traders these are the sort of trades that we hope ours might evolve into. However, in doing so we ignore that left hand side of the chart. The majority of stocks (60%) have below average performance.
You may assume as a trend follower that this is not an issue since you would avoid these large losses and poor performance by the use of stops but that ignores the reality of the actual trading process. As a mechanical trader you will not incur these losses but you will burn time wading through these non performing stocks before you hit the ones that do perform. You waste time, a little bit of money and a lot of patience dealing with this mediocre performance.
My anecdotal experience has been that trading returns are made up of a lot of modest returns and a tiny handful of trades that do very well but to get to the ones that do very well you have to crank through a reasonable number of trades and you have to keep going.
This is where the notion of emotional resilience comes into its own in trading and the ability not to tinker with the system hoping that it will generate these sorts of trades. Systems don't actually generate these sorts of trades – the market does so you cannot actually build a system with the preconceived notion that it will find you trades that generate a 500% return. What the system does do is generate a population of trades, most of which will be duds and hopefully a few large winners. But in the beginning all trades look the same.

"Get any group of traders together and you will notice that the novices tend to talk about indicators and charting patterns, whilst the professionals discuss trading psychology and money management. In the beginning, you'll underestimate the importance of these two key areas." – Louise Bedford
"Most people have an "interest" in becoming consistently profitable traders. However, few possess the essential ingredient of "total commitment." Total commitment is what is demanded for a high level of success from any endeavor. A trader with commitment will take the money away from 100 traders who have only an "interest." – Joe Ross
"In fact I would say trading without a stop is like walking a tight rope without a net. You should always place a stop, not because you expect the market to go against you, but to protect against the unexpected. The worst losses I've seen have resulted from a trader not having a stop order in place and the ensuing deer-in-the-headlights paralysis that sets in once losses start to mount." – Andy Jordan

Emergency 911 calls from the night two hikers called to report they "wandered off" a Southern California trail indicate the teens feared they may not "make it to the morning" as search teams were grounded because of weather conditions.
Audio: Excerpt From 911 Call
On the 911 call from March 31, Nicolas Cendoya, 19 reported that he and 18-year-old Kyndall Jack were lost in the Trabuco Canyon area of Cleveland National Forest in the Santa Ana Mountains.
The disptacher can be heard asking whether they remembered passing several reference points and explaining that search crews were limited to a ground search during that night because of fog.
"We wandered off the trail," Cendoya said. "I don't even know if we're going to make it to the morning because we have no water."
Their cell phone died after the call, during which they can be heard calling for help. They told the dispatcher they could not hear search crews, who also were calling out to them.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The two, both inexperienced hikers, departed on what Jack told friends was an "adventure" — a day hike along popular Holy Jim Trail. During Sunday night's 911 call — before the two were separated — Cendoya told the dispatcher they were less than one mile from a trail. The dispatcher attempted to find out how far from the trailhead the two went off the trail.
"We went like a mile from my car," Cendoya said.
"You said you're at the top of a mountain?" the dispatcher asked.
"The very, very top," Cendoya answered.
Cendoya was found Wednesday night about 500 feet up a steep ridge off Trabuco Creek Road. Rescuers had to cut through brush to rescue him. He was released from the hospital Sunday.
Jack, rescued at mid-day Thursday, remained hospitalized Sunday. At an afternoon press conference outside the hospital, she said she felt lucky to be alive and thanked her rescuers.
She said she had no memory of the ordeal other than that she and Cendoya wanted to climb to the top of the canyon before nightfall.
"I thought I was in a big dream," she said. "We wanted to touch the clouds."
Both were severely dehydrated, disoriented and covered in scratches and bruises after a series of cold nights waiting for rescue.

Originally I ran StarCraft 2 on Windows Vista and everything worked fine.
A couple of months ago, however, I upgraded my PC to Windows 8. I run Starcraft 2 without any issues, but replays now are working very bad; after 2-3 minutes of playing (usually on x2, x4, x8 speed) it hangs for a while. During the hang-time music is still playing, but the game in fact is frozen. It restores in 30-40~ seconds and after a while it hangs again.
How can I solve this problem?
However, upon my upgrading to windows 8 I didn't re-install StarCraft 2. Do I need to?

This tutorial will cover range, rank, null space, nullity, the rank-nullity theorem, invertibility, and isomorphisms. A typeset version of the tutorial is attached below:
Linear_Algebra_Part6_Tutorial.pdf (119.8K)
Number of downloads: 1124
The range of a linear transformation, denoted R(T), is defined as the subset of the codomain that is mapped. This can easily be determined form the matrix representation of T, based on the largest subset of linearly independent column vectors from the matrix. The cardinality of this set is called the rank. The rank property describes the space that R(T) spans. For example, if A is a 3x3 Matrix over the real numbers and rank(A) = 2, then there are two linearly independent column vectors in A. This means that the span(A) is a plane in R2, or that the set of column vectors in A describes a two-dimensional subspace of R3.
Let's look at a couple examples. Let A be the following matrix. Here, rank(A) = 2, as (1, 3, 4) and (2, 6, 8) are linearly dependent. Thus, there are two linearly independent column vectors in A. From here, the range of a linear transformation represented by the transformation matrix A is defined as R(T) = span( {(1, 2, 3), (2, 5, 6)} ).
|1 2 2| |3 5 6| |4 6 8|
Consider matrix B to be defined as follows. Here, the column vectors are all in R2. Thus, by the linear independence tests, any set of vectors from R2 with more than two elements is linearly dependent. As none of these vectors are multiples of each other, any subset of the column vectors with at most two elements is linearly independent. Thus, rank(B) = 2. The range, R(T), of a linear transformation represented by B is denoted by R(T) = span( {(1, 5), (2, 6)} ) = R2, though any two column vectors of B can be used in defining the range.
|1 2 3 4| |5 6 7 8|
The null space of a linear transformation, denoted N(T), is defined as the set of vectors such that for all v in the null space, T(v) = 0. The nullity is defined as the number of elements in the null space. There is one exception to this rule. If a Transformation's matrix is linearly independent, then N(T) = {0} and the nullity = 0. If the transformation's matrix is linearly dependent, the null space will not explicitly include the zero vector.
In order to find the null space of a matrix or linear transformation, it is helpful to row-reduce the matrix, then solve the matrix equation: Ax = 0, where A is the reduced matrix and x is an element of the null space. For the purpose of this tutorial, familiarity with row-reduction techniques is assumed.
Let's look at some examples. Consider the linear transformation T be represented matrix A defined below. Here, N(T) = {0}, with nullity(T) = 0. as the only vector that will result in a 0 vector is 0. Another way of looking at it is that the matrix A is linearly independent with only a single column vector.
|1| |2| |3|
Consider another example. Let the linear transformation T be represented by the matrix B defined below. Here, there is only one independent vector, so Rank(T) = 1. Row reducing this matrix leaves only the top row. So the null space N(T) = {(4, 0, 1), (-3, 1, 0)}, with nullity = (2).
|1 3 -4 | |5 15 -20| |3 9 -12|
Note how in both cases, the rank and nullity add up to the dimension of the vector space for the domain of T. This is called the Rank-Nullity Theorem. It states that for a linear transformation on vector spaces V and W (T: V -> W), rank(T) + nullity(T) = dim(V). This theorem provides a lot of information about a linear transformation and makes it significantly easier to determine the nullity of a linear transformation given its rank.
Function Properties of Linear Transformations
At this point, a strong familiarity with functions is assumed. This section will discuss strategies for determining if linear transformations are one-to-one, onto, or bijective. When dealing with functions, bijections are established based on counting properties. While certain Vector Spaces (like Edge Space) are over finite or countable fields (like the integers modulo 2), Vector spaces are often times over fields that are uncountably infinite, such as the real or complex numbers. The properties of linear transformations allow the use of dimension to aid in determining whether a linear transformation is one-to-one, onto, or bijective.
When dealing with functions in general, a function can be one-to-one when |Domain| <= |Codomain|. Applying this to a linear transformation T: V -> W, if dim(V) <= dim(W), then T has the potential to be one-to-one. Consider if T maps R2 into R3. Since R2 is a plane, it can be mapped into R3 without loss of generality. For example, T(x, y) = (x, y, 0) is a one-to-one function.
Similarly, a function can be onto only when |Domain| >= |Codomain|. Thus, a linear transformation T: V -> W requires that dim(V) >= dim(W). Consider a mapping T: P3(R) -> P2(R) by T(f(x)) = f'(x). Clearly this isn't a one-to-one mapping, as T(2x + 3) = T(2x + 5). However, the transformation does ensure a complete mapping of the codomain. Thus, T is onto.
Now having looked at both one-to-one and onto linear transformations, it stands to reason that to be a bijective linear transformation, dim(V) = dim(W). This logic is the same as having |Domain| = |Codomain| in a function like f(x) = 2x. An example of a bijective linear transformation would be T: R3 -> P2(R) by T(a, b, c) = ax2 + bx + c. As a final note, bijections between vector spaces where dim(V) != dim(W) can occur. However, such functions are non-linear.
This section will discuss the conditions on which a linear transformation is invertible. Similar as when dealing with functions, a linear transformation is only invertible when it is bijective. This ensures that every element of both the domain and codomain has a unique mapping. In fact, a generalization of the Rank-Nullity Theorem can be used when testing to see if a linear transformation is invertible. Remember that the Rank-Nullity Theorem states that for any linear transformation T:V -> W, rank(T) + nullity(T) = dim(V). If T is bijective, then rank(T) = dim(V).
Let's unpack this intuition. Suppose nullity(T) != 0 and T is bijective. This implies that there are vectors other than 0 such that T(v) = 0. This implies that the transformation matrix's column vectors will not be linearly independent, which leads to the conclusion that T only maps V to a subspace of W. Thus, T is not bijective (even if dim(V) = dim(W)), which is a contradiction. Thus, in order for T to be invertible, rank(T) = dim(V), which is equivalent to saying that T is a bijective transformation.
Just as linear transformations can be described with transformation matrices, the inverse transformations are described similarly. Remember that functions have a property that states f(f-1(x)) = f-1(f(x)) = x, which is called the identity property. As linear transformations are functions, they share this property, as do their matrix transformations. Thus, if T is represented by the matrix A, then T-1 is represented by A-1.
Isomorphisms are a bit abstract, but provide a lot of power. They allow for representing vector spaces in different, but equivalent formats. For example, representing a 2x2 Matrix as a vector in F4 without loss of generality, where F is the Field, is an example of an isomorphism. Similarly, vectors in R3 denoted (a, b, c) are isomorphic to the quadratics by ax2 + bx + c.
Let's put a little more definition to isomorphisms. Two vector spaces are considered isomorphic if they have the same field and same dimension. A linear transformation is considered an isomorphism if and only if it is bijective. Isomorphisms are used to denote equivalence, and are commonly seen in Abstract Algebra and Graph Theory as well. In fact, isomorphisms are considered equivalence relations. This means that isomorphisms are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relations.
Proof of Equivalence:
Isomorphisms are incredibly powerful in answering a number of questions. One such question asks if V0 is a subspace of V, and T:V -> W is an isomorphism, show that T(V0) is a subspace of W. The proof is incredibly simple.
Since T is an isomorphism, then it is known that V === W (is equivalent, which is different than saying is equal to. These are equivalent spaces, but not the same space.). As T is an isomorphism, V0 and T(V0) map uniquely to each other on T and T-1. This shows they are in the same equivalence class. So by symmetry, T(V0) is a subspace of W. QED.
Another such question that isomorphisms answer well is that if B is a basis for V and T: V -> W is an isomorphism, show that T(B) is a basis for W.
Since T is an isomorphism, dim(V) = dim(W), which implies that their bases have the same cardinality. Since T is an isomorphism, it is a bijection, so each vector in B maps uniquely to an equivalent vector in T(B) on both T and T-1. Thus, B === T(B). So by symmetry, T(B) is a basis for W. QED.

Now that the U.S. government has achieved its monopoly over health care, new technologies are in the works that will allow the government to remotely monitor and track whether ordinary citizens are complying with taking medications prescribed by conventional doctors. One new technology described at the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging allows "pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters" which would track the patient's compliance with medications and broadcast that information back to government health care enforcers who check for "compliance and efficacy."
"Emerging technologies allow pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters to communicate with the user's wristwatch that shows that the pill has been consumed," said University of Virginia professor Robin Felder at the committee meeting. "Broadband connectivity of these devices would allow the electronic medical record to be updated with regard to medication compliance and efficacy."
This would allow government health operators, for example, to know whether you've taken all your prescribed psychiatric medications. If you veer from the course of pharmaceuticals prescribed by your doctor, health care enforcement agents could be dispatched to your door to make sure you start taking your pills.
Parents who currently attempt to protect their children from toxic medical therapies such as chemotherapy could be closely monitored by government medical enforcement agents. If you try to flush dangerous pharmaceuticals down the toilet instead of actually taking them, the lack of an electronic tracking signal will let your health care observers know you didn't really take the pills.
It's all part of a new push called E-Care which involves a number of medical devices that monitor you in your home and report back to government authorities. A blood pressure monitoring device, for example, could report your blood pressure to your government-approved doctor. A blood sugar monitoring device could determine if you've eaten too much sugar and order you to take more diabetes pills to try to compensate.
Big Government, you see, doesn't just want to monopolize health care; it wants to monitor your compliance with it. If you depart from their system of pharmaceuticals, you may be found unfit as a parent, for example. Or possibly just declared insane (which gets you drugged with psych meds).
One of the ultimate goals of this remote monitoring technology is to install a blood monitoring chip in your arm that would sample and run diagnostic tests on your blood every few minutes. While this could be used in a positive way to detect early signs of cancer or liver problems, for example, it could also be used to snoop on the dietary habits of everyday citizens.
If you take too much vitamin C, for example — beyond what is allowed by CODEX — it could trigger a monitored alert that causes government-run medical operatives to force their way into your home and confiscate your "non-compliant" vitamins.
If your vitamin D levels rise high enough to actually prevent cancer, they could have you arrested for "spending too much time in the sun" and thrown into a hospital with no windows to, as they claim, "Protect you from skin cancer."
These are some of the very practical realities that could theoretically emerge in the dystopian medicalized society that seems to be getting closer with each passing day.
This isn't science fiction: It's modern medical fact. As CNSNews reports, "…Areas of interest include medicines that can tell a doctor if they have been taken on time [and] wireless monitoring of nutritional information…"
Of course, as with all privacy-invading monitoring devices, government will argue that monitoring you is "for your own good." You can expect an RFID chip to be implanted in your arm, too, containing your entire medical history. So every time you pass near an RFID reader at a government-controlled facility (airports, schools, interstate toll booths, etc.), your entire medical history can be scanned and assessed for a variety of metrics.
Combined with the blood analysis chip implants, this would give health enforcement authorities a way to find and arrest "dangerous" people — such as people who aren't taking enough antidepressants, for example. Or people who show signs of consuming herbal medicines. All these people could be tracked down, arrested and then forced to consume medications before they are released back into the public.
The program is basically Total Information Awareness at the personal biology level. Big Brother wants to monitor your biochemistry, you see, to make sure you remain compliant with its pharmaceutical and junk foods agenda.
It's not enough for the government to monitor your phone calls, scan your emails and watch you sunbathing on your back porch with spy satellites; now they want to snoop into your bloodstream and monitor what you've been eating, drinking or swallowing.
"This device here connects to other devices that measure a patient's blood pressure and glucose [sugar] levels." said U.S. Senator Ron Wyden. "It wirelessly uploads this data to an electronic medical health record that is monitored by a health care professional." (A government-mandated health care enforcer, in other words.)
With this technology, they could even monitor your moods by tracking fluctuations of hormone levels. They will know when you're happy, when you're angry, when you're having sex, when you're sleeping. All this information will be at the fingertips of government health care enforcers who are, of course, working to further the Big Pharma agenda of medicating everyone from cradle to grave.
But it gets even worse. Part of this E-Care technology involves the remote administration of medications directly into your bloodstream. A supply of medication chemicals can be worn on your body (like a wristband, for example), and when it receives a remote command from your health care enforcers, it can inject another dose of some chemical into your bloodstream.
These chemicals could be anything — antidepressants, tranquilizers, antipsychotics, statin drugs, chemotherapy drugs and so on. So now you've got remote government medical operatives who can essentially control your biochemistry as if you were a robot in a Big Government reality game.
If they are about to come to your house and take away your children because you refused to give them vaccines, for example, they could first remotely inject you with tranquilizers so that you will be "calm, docile and compliant" upon their arrival.
This now puts the government in control of your mind through the remote administration of mind-altering chemicals.
"What we're talking about, folks, is using a device like this one," said Senator Wyden during the committee meeting. "It attaches to the patient's skin and is loaded with drugs that are administered in the exact way that the doctor prescribes — wirelessly."
Except it's not really the way the doctor prescribes; it's the way the government prescribes. Because now Big Government is running health care and telling doctors exactly what to do. So government is determining what chemicals get administered to you, and before long they'll be able to administer those chemicals wirelessly.
At the click of a mouse, in other words, Big Government could mass medicate the entire nation. Imagine the entire population being dosed with "happy chemicals" in the days before an important vote. Or imagine the population being medicated with "anger hormones" following some staged false-flag attack, all designed to create outrage so that the politicians can sweep in with yet more "solutions" that destroy civil liberties.
This may be what's coming, which is why establishing a government health care monopoly was so important in the first place. Without the government monopoly and the IRS penalties for non-compliance, there would be no way to force everybody into participating in such a system. But now, health care run by Big Government has opened the door for us all to be chipped, monitored and medicated without our knowledge and against our will.
It's a brave new world after all, it seems. Maybe the drug-dispensing implants will start administering soma to us all. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_…)

Canewdon is a large parish set between Ashingdon, Paglesham and Stambridge which extends for several miles, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside with the River Crouch to the North.
The name is derived from the Saxon 'hill of Cana's people, not after King Canute who was victorious in battle over Edmund Ironside in the nearby Crouch Valley. The remains of entrenchments, said to mark Canute's camp, lie near the parish by the River Crouch. Evidence of early settlements have been found in the area including bronze age artefacts and Roman red hills.
The impressive tower of Canewdon Church is said to have been built by Henry V in thanksgiving for his victory at the Battle of Agincourt. To the east of the church is the old village lock-up and stocks.
The modern day Canewdon offers a wide range of housing, within a close-knit village community. Nearby Wallasea Island is also part of the parish and is a popular centre for sailing and fishing, as well as home to the RSPB's Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project, a wetland sanctuary for wildlife.
The village boasts a public house, two village shops, two churches, two duck ponds, a large village green and a primary school. There is also a recreation ground with a large play area, basketball court and skateboard ramp, cricket and football pitch.
Did you know?
A bronze age oar dating from about 1000 BC was found in a riverbank and is the earliest example of oars being used in Northern Europe.

Hayden Panettiere once again denied rumors that she's engaged to her Ukranian boxer boyfriend, Wladimir Klitschko, while walking the Billboard Music Awards red carpet on Sunday.
According to E! news when asked whether or not she's engaged the "Nashville" star held her hand up and said: "No ring."
Panettiere and Klitschko got back together in January after breaking up in 2011 following a two-year relationship. Ever since the couple reconciled there have been multiple rumors regarding their engagement.
The 23 year old actress also made use of the occasion to dismiss rumors regarding a live Nashville tour claiming there is virtually no time for the team to do live performances.
"I'm kind of confused as to when they think that's going to happen," she told E!. "We shoot from the end of July to the end of April."

So online pirates don't really go for onscreen pirates, it seems.
Hollywood Reporter, by way of TorrentFreak, has a list of the top 10 most-pirated movies and Johnny Depp's high seas adventure "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" comes in a distant 10th. Taking the #1 spot handily to the tune of 21 million illegal downloads is James Cameron's space jungle romp "Avatar."
It's a little surprising that a movie sold almost entirely on the strength of is 3D, big screen experience is being viewed on computer monitors so frequently. Wasn't Real3D supposed to be a tool to fight online piracy and get people back into theaters? Waaaah...waaaaaaaaah. Between this and Sony's decision to start making theater-goers pony up extra cash for 3D glasses (read: Sony's decision to encourage people to steal 3D glasses), the whole third dimension thing seems to be on the wan. Just like, you know, the last time it was a craze for like a year.
U.S. & World
In between "Avatar" and "Pirates" are some surprising and not-so-surprising titles:
2. "The Dark Knight" (19 million) - What? Computer nerds like Batman? Hell you say.
3. "Transformers" (19 million) - What? They like robots, too?
4. "Inception" (18 million) - This one is probably 90% fueled by how good the movie is, and 10% by the popularity of "Inception"-themed internet memes. Yo dawg, I heard you liked dreams...
5. "The Hangover" (17 million) - Really? This thing is on cable on a continuous loop.
6. "Star Trek" (16 million) - Yawn.
7. "Kick-Ass" (15 million) - Wow, this one hurts. If even half of these pirates paid to see it, this criminally underrated movie might have had a more reflective box office.
8. "The Departed" (14 million) - "I'm the guy who pays to see movies. You must be the other guy."
9. "The Incredible Hulk" (14 million) - Enjoy it, Big Green. This is the only time you'll be on a Top 10 of anything list. You barely crack "Top 10 Hulk Movies and TV shows."
But remember, kids, only pirates pirate movies. No, wait...only you can prevent piracy? Um...One in every three high school girls will be pirated by the time they graduate? No...Pirating movies isn't normal, but on meth it is?
Look, you know there's some kind of slogan out there for this. Just stop it.

A Parent's Guide To Efficient Phonics Instruction at Home
Welcome to the OnTrack Reading Website
Hello. My name is Rodney Everson. For over a decade, I have provided private phonics instruction to hundreds of struggling readers, many of whom were quite intelligent despite their difficulties with learning to read. During that time I developed a comprehensive advanced code phonics program that I used with every child, regardless of age. I also drew some conclusions that you might find both surprising and encouraging if you are a parent of a child who is having difficulty reading for no apparent reason.
The phonics program is wholly contained in a single workbook, plus an instruction manual, and is suitable for a child of any age and even adults. The OnTrack Reading Advanced Code Phonics Workbook will meet your needs if your child is already reasonably familiar with the sounds represented by single letters, like "t," "v," and "m" (the basic code.)
The workbook covers all of the phonics that your child needs to know while simultaneously building the particular skills needed for reading, such as efficient blending, segmenting, and testing of alternative sounds. In addition, the workbook contains a unique multisyllable curriculum that will quickly have your child accurately decoding longer words rather than guessing at them based on their beginnings, endings, and word length. You will not find a better method to teach a child to efficiently decode multisyllable words.
An Alternate Route Instead of Even More Phonics Instruction
Frankly, the advanced code workbook described above is so inexpensive that it's probably worth trying it out first, especially if your child does poorly on the phonics tests described on the page Phonics Workbook Expectations. In the meantime, you can be considering whether to address other possible issues discussed here.
As for the alternate route, you might already have tried one or two phonics programs, yet your child is still struggling with learning to read, or just can't seem to be able to read fluently and easily. If that's the case your child's problem might not be the instruction he's getting, but whether he is developmentally able to absorb that instruction.
After more than a decade of working with children with obvious reading problems, whether they were diagnosed as dyslexic or not, I've found that many children who struggle with reading are fighting undiagnosed, and therefore untreated, vision problems of one form or another. Nutritional issues might even play a role in triggering those vision problems. If you'd like to pursue these avenues, the place to start is Understanding the Dyslexia Puzzle. In particular, be sure to read The Vision Piece of the Dyslexia Puzzle.
An Added Bonus on This Site: Free Word Lists Galore
During the design of the OnTrack Reading Advanced Code Workbook, I developed a database that I could use to locate words that contained specific sounds and spellings so that the word lists in the workbook could be efficiently structured. I've made those word lists available, free, on this website.
So, if you're a parent or teacher looking for lists of kid-level words for whatever purpose, take a look at the 101-word lists constructed from a 7,000-word database based on a children's dictionary, and organized by either vowel sounds or consonant spellings. You can find them under the Comprehensive Word Lists tab.

CC Awards
Voting for the 2004 Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards is now closed. We are tabulating the votes (and removing the attempts to "stuff the ballot box"...), and will announce the winners on Monday morning, December 16th.
Christmas Shopping at the CC Store
We are still accepting orders for items from the CC Store which will be shipped to arrive in time for Christmas. However, the cut-off dates are rapidly approaching. For western and eastern Canada (Manitoba and west, the Maritimes and Newfoundland and Labrador), the cut-off for most items is December 16th. For Ontario and Quebec it is December 18th. Time to stop procrastinating!
There are still a couple of pairs of small Santini Worlds bib tights left, a few pairs of Hamilton 2003 armwarmers and a new shipment of Hamilton 2003 socks has just arrived (the final one).
Team Coastal for 2004
Todd Hansen, Director of Racing, is pleased to announce the 2004 line up for Team Coastal Racing. Todd says "Our Team is small but we're organized, motivated, and love what we're doing. That sounds like a recipe for some wins!" Veteran rider, Larry Zimich, will lead the newly formed team. Larry brings his 18 years of riding and racing experience to Team Coastal Racing and will be the anchor for the team. As well, a young talented rider from Saskatchewan, Derek McMaster, will bring his skills and abilities to compete with the team while he isn't away on National Team projects. Derek will be based out of Victoria but will be making Vancouver his second home during the racing season. Contributing to the team program will be Damien Waugh, another young and talented rider who is just starting to come into his own. As we hit the climbs, we will be looking to Damien to use his natural climbing prowess to excel! Rounding out the team is Jim Tsilemos, a local Vancouver rider who has trained and raced closely with Larry this past season. Larry describes him by saying, "Watch this guy when he's on his game. He's awesome! Jim's a bit of a gentleman, so we need to get him a little more AGRO . . . then lookout!" The Team is also fortunate to have a strong contingent of Category 2 riders that will be assisting with team tactics.

New cyclo-cross coordinator at the UCI
As part of its project to reform cyclo-cross, the UCI has just appointed a new sports coordinator for this discipline. Peter Van den Abeele, a 37-year-old Belgian and former professional cyclo-cross and MTB rider, took up the post on the 8th of December 2003 within the Sports Coordination Department of the federation. Prior to this, he was Team Manager of the Vlaanderen-T-Interim-Eddy Merckx team (cyclocross). Following the appointment of Peter Van den Abeele, Régis Alexandre, who until now has played the dual role of cyclo-cross and MTB coordinator, will now concentrate his activities on the latter discipline.
Athens 2004 Olympic Games: organisation of "test" track events
On the 12th of November 2003, the UCI track Technical Delegate, Gilles Peruzzi, visited the velodrome worksite in Athens to assess progress of the construction. In collaboration with the Athens Organising Committee (ATHOC), he finalised the programme of the "test" track events which will take place from the 22nd to 25th of April 2004.
Decisions of the MTB Commission for 2004
Following the meeting of the MTB Commission on the 8th of December 2003, the following decisions were taken for 2004:
- Starting procedures for Marathon MTB events:
The men's race will start one hour later than the women's in order to prevent any unlawful arrangements. (Editor's Note: this is in response to some blatant pacing taking place at the Worlds to move certain women up)
- Change to race times:
After a survey of cross-country athletes by Mrs Laurence Leboucher, the MTB Commission, of which the former athlete is a member, has reduced the race times of the Olympic format. This measure is intended to make the races more spectacular and exciting. They are now as follows:
Men Elite, 2 hrs - 21/4 hrs
Women Elite, 13/4 hrs - 2 hrs (reduction of approximately 15 to 30 minutes)
The race times of the Marathon format have been increased to a minimum of 4 hrs for the World Championships, Continental Championships and the UCI MTB Marathon World Series. For all other Marathons, the minimum race time is 3 hrs.
2003 UCI Women's Road World Cup: a prize for the best organiser
The trophy for the best event in the 2003 UCI Women's Road World Cup was awarded to the organiser of the Flèche Wallonne. Mr. Pat McQuaid, member of the UCI Management Committee and President of the Road Commission, gave the award to Jean-François Pescheux, Director of the competition and John Lelangue, his Assistant, at the World Cycling Centre on the 27th of November 2003. The ceremony took place in the presence of Mr. Jean-Marie Leblanc, the Director of the Tour de France. For the past 6 years, the ASO has organised the Women's Flèche Wallonne race every April in Belgium.
The following riders have been sanctioned for doping offences:
Robert NUNEZ, sanctioned by Federacion Costarricense de Ciclismo, disqualification of Vuelta Ciclista a Costa Rica 2002 and suspension of 4 years from 11 June 2003 to 10 June 2007.
Jean-Marc DOLLIN, sanctioned by the Fédération Française de Cyclisme, disqualification of Tour de la Guadeloupe 2002 and suspension of 6 months from 10 May 2003 to 9 February 2004.
Ana Paola MADRINAN VILLEGAS, sanctioned by Federacion Colombiana de Ciclismo, warning and disqualification of Pan-American Games 2003.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – A Bay Area man best known for his hippie era advice columns is making news by becoming a dad at 77-years-old.
Eugene Schoenfeld wrote the Hip Pocrates column in the 60s and 70s. 'Dr. Hip' doled out advice on sex and drugs in hundreds of newspapers around the country. He's also credited by some with having the first ever call-in medical show on the radio.
He's 77-years-old now, and still working as a psychiatrist. He's also about to become a dad again.
KCBS' Mike Sugerman Reports:
"I'm very happy and looking forward to having this child," he declared.
He and his 28-year-old wife Lonie are expecting a child in May. They think it's a girl.
She and Dr. Hip married 5 years ago and tried to conceive, but were unsuccessful. Doctors told them she would be unable to do so after undergoing medical intervention without luck – including attempts at in-vitro.
"I don't know what happened," said Lonie. "I'm very happy."
Dr. Hip already has one child, a 40- year-old son.
(Copyright 2012 by CBS San Francisco. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.)
The 60's were the beginning of the end.
How responsible of him. His 18 year old daughter can change his Depends.
His daughter will never know him. But his wife is young and will remarry and the new guy can raise the daughter.
His wife will be changing two sets of diapers.
"Hey," said the 40+ year old man, for perhaps the fiftieth time, "quit calling me your dad. I'm your big brother!"
What in incredibly insensitive, inhuman, callous, selfish thing to do. Poor child.
Perfect example of the irresponsible sixties.
I am so glad I don't know the man or anything about him other than this news article. YUCK
Maybe I should make my feelings a bit clearer. I am tolerant of lots of things but .,, He is just to extreme and to hip for me.
I'm 64-yrs old. I was able to share the love and health of watching my children grow up and graduate, and we had many years of fun: softball, baseball, foot ball and all other family events.
They all went on to successful careers and provided me with beautiful grand children.
This guy will NEVER be able to say the same.
I would guess his wife is just another Gold digger. How secure her life is.
Gotta' love these "Old Hippies" from the Left Coast. Now she has her "Anchor Baby" to his fortune!
What are the chances that the baby REALLY isn't his? I'll bet neither would agree to a paternity test.
They'll both be in diapers at the same time.
Oh yes, it's much better to be 20, unmarried, birth a child and then let crazy California entitlement programs pay for raising the child in public day care and public schools. How is that preferential? Even two working parents in their 30s cannot possibly give the personal attention children deserve.
Anyone with critical thinking skills knows it's better to have old financially secure responsible parents nurture and educate their child, they know what's important and will give their child ten times more positive attention and respect.
You can grow weeds, just let it happen. Or, you can nurture and tend a precious rose.
Love isn
t free. There are consequences. He will find this out.
No one mentioned the most impressive part of this story. He has a 28 year old wife! Hats off to him!
Dr. Hip. More like Dr. Hip Surgery.
Hippies are the most selfish people I know. I do not respect, nor do a trust a single one of them. Just a bunch of parasites.
"Hipster expecting child at &&"? Of course he is. Or maybe his wife is expecting a child along with her young boyfriend. How laughable some men and their egos are.
What is hip today, may tomorrow be passe' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet he likes to fart in an elavator and waive it around so everyone smells it
Amazing how quickly anonymous people judge this man without more than the slightest of knowledge into the details of his life, marriage, finances, OR health.
Since so many critics here are quite obviously lacking an understanding of a very elementary concept, please allow me to explain: almost all of recent human progress is because of Science and Critical Thinking! Critical thinking requires us to assimilate information from MANY different sources BEFORE beginning to make assumptions about details unmentioned in literature. The nay-sayers, anti-hip patrol, parent police, and "diaper jokers" show themselves to be fools with such trite and simple insults. Most of this trash is libel…
This man is HEALTHY, WEALTHY, and HAPPILY married, I know because I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY and have visited with him and his wife several times.
Thankfully for every 9 idiots with spring-loaded hate-filled derisive judgments ready to fire; there are a few people who recognize the need for critical thinking, intelligence, respect, and most of all DECENCY.online. (Freudian Slip)
Thanks! I agree..waay too much negativity here. I remembered him the other day, after so long a time, hence the visit here. I recall how with the passing years of his Chron column, his hair got gradually shorter. Then..the tie and jacket. I could almost hear a chorus trilling, "No shoes, no service.."
"I don't know what happened," said Lonie. ."
I recommend checking out the postman's hair color for future reference.
"Gee, I don't know what happened…"
I'm guessing the pool boy is what happened
I belive another man snook in the back door while the old timer was asleep.
Rather practical, actually.
As the youth loses his primary chompers, his old man can collect them for use in dentures.
I have known Gene Schoenfeld since the early 1970's, and I have met his wife. He is as warm and kind and smart an individual as anyone could hope to meet. Most of the comments here, on the other hand, are stupid, ignorant, intolerant, shallow, and cruel.
Dr. Hip was a wonderful Bay Area voice in the late sixties/early 70s. Lot's of heart and humor. While a bit strange being a father at 77, the kid will have some great genes!
Life is strange. Best to all.
You don't know anything about this couple. So, quit the negative comments. We've been friends with this couple for awhile.
I would like to voice my gratitude for ones kindness meant for folks that must have help with this important area. Your personal dedication to having the solution along became exceedingly productive and still have truly empowered women like me to get at their pursuits. Your important useful information indicates this much an individual much like me and far more to my office colleagues. Regards; from all of us.

Have fun and enjoy!
1.0 Reboot here!
03-25-12 02:45 PM by:
Sup guys?
I just uploaded my interface as a new Version on the sUI Mainpage.
That means that the Beta is outdated and should not be used anymore. Thanks for everyone helping me testing it!
Hope to get feedback on the newest - live version!
As there won't be any updates incoming in the next weeks etc. i think i have no need to update it over time (if you find some errors etc. PLEASE let me know so i can fix them!).
PS: I know i wanted to update the F.A.Q. alot! I have not forgotten that but i have no time to do it right now so it will come at one point in the future. If you have questions on installation or setting things up let me know!
Latest News on my UI!
03-13-12 06:52 PM by:
Hey guys,
I tested the ui alot last weeks in raiding environment and got nothing that bothers me now except of making the special power bar a bit widther, so that it won't be a few pixel shorter than the player bar.
That beeing said i think that the 0.1 RC beta will be final release package.
So if you want you can use the beta already. As aurora got updtade today the final release will also contain it.
Expect this to hit somewhere "soon". (Again only 2 changes maybe the special power bar and definitly the aurora update.)
If you have any bugs or things that you wanna have improved please pm me soon! (: really appreciate your help!
See ya!
Hey guys!
Just to let you know:
We are right now finally able to raid heroics and making progress rapidly. I just wasn't included in the lineup until now which results in a last few testings in hardmode environments before releasing it.
This being said it may be today or in about a week (at the latest after next sundays id) that the new version will go out of beta.
You can use the beta elsewhere because except of some addon updates which you can do via curse etc. yourself there is nothing changed.
Just though i let you know what i'm up to, i just want to make sure everything works perfectly fine (:
Best Regads and see you!
new Beta 0.1 RC
02-19-12 03:04 PM by:
finally I was able to test everything and i see no errors for now.
Sure dominos classbar not enabled by default etc. will be in the final realse.
Changes are on the mainpage.
I think that for now this will go live as it is except of the special power bar which I will change later.
I will not be here for like 2 weeks (going skiing yay!) so if there are any problems you ahve to wait (maybe i can check occasionally but i do not think so).
Also freezing got an update as the redirection of the raidmessageframe should now work properly and toc got updated.
See ya and thanks for your help testing =)
News on 0.03
02-08-12 06:02 PM by:
Hi guys!
Here some news on the next beta update:
- ouf_freeb
# fixed pet debuffs overlapping cd/actionbuttonbar
# adjusted height of target of target frame
# hiding absolute power value on targetframe
# adjusted the font on all frames
# adjusted name length on all frames
- updated aurora
- since 0.0.1: removed all "loaded addon X" messages and inserted sUI Version instead
- dbm
# slight dbm timer fix
# Merged Boss emote frame with raidwarning frame so that emote messages won't overlap shorttimers anymore, but will instead be in the same frame of raidwarnings (THIS NEEDS TESTING ALOT IN RAIDS!!)
- Dominos: improved "leave vehicle button"- positioning
I will also maybe get an improved special power bar in the release (smaller and more fitting to the width of the player frame). If so that will very likelly be a RC then cause everything I wanted in this will be in there.
I will test it a few days then. Afterwards I will write alot of new F.A.Q.s (e.g. setting up dominos, explaning hotkey layout, explaning CD bar, explaining ouf_freeb displays etc. to help everyone to find himself in a comfortable place!).
Aferwards I will release this as V 1.0 and abandon the beta page.
Again: Thanks so much for testing! With the next version I will need alot of testing (maybe even in older instances for the special power bar (corrupton on chogal
)) in Raid environment to see if that dbm merge works well.
Stay tuned! Release approximatly in the next few days if not till friday then about monday or tuesday cause i won't be there over the weekend.
If you have some feedback feel free to share you'r opinnion! Implenting things now is alot easier than later!
See ya!
PS: As a sidenote I uploaded !FREEZING to a new version with some changes, if you do not already use my UI you might wanna check it out
PPS: Little update on the upload: As the raidwarningmessage tweak did not really work i will test sunday, expect update on sunday/monday. Also new video inc
New Beta and Video will be uploaded earliest on wednesday as i radi lfr. Raid on Sunday was canceled so i wasn't able to test it
BETA 0.02 here!
02-04-12 08:03 PM by:
Hey once agian,
Beta 0.02 has just been uploaded.
All changes can be found on the addon frontpage.
Needs alot of raidtesting, especially in 25man raids if possible as i cannot do that myself.
Fortunatly we are closer to a release than i thought so there will be definitly about only one or two more beta uploads and then that's it
So try it out, i am very sure that this layout etc. will only get minor fixes but will stay like this as a hole even after release
Would be great to here your thoughts!

Watch out for the curse of the exploding iPhones. As we reported yesterday, an iPhone started smoking and heating up on a flight over Australia, and now it seems to have happened again - this time in Brazil.
Mashable linked us up to a Brazilian tech site with the story.
Apparently the phone was plugged in near the owner's bed, when she woke up to find it smoking and shooting off sparks.
U.S. & World
No one was hurt as the phone was switched off and unplugged, but not before the room was filled with smoke, TechTudo reports.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the Australian incident.

I'm wondering if I should use acronyms or initialisms when I list technical qualifications or mention specific technologies on my résumé or CV.
For example:
- Entity Framework vs. EF vs. EF (Entity Framework)
- Graphical User Interface vs. GUI vs. GUI (Graphical User Interface)
Is there a reason to prefer one version over another? Is it better to be as clear as possible, companies view not using the correct acronym a sign of lack of knowledge about the subject?

Innovative German brand Studio Rundholz has developed somewhat of a cult following since their debut in 1993. Known for their non-traditional clothing design, asymmetric shapes and experimental dyeing methods, Rundholz consistently produces exciting, provocative pieces from season to season.

Sourdough Rise Time Modelling and Recipe Calculators
I've posted a spreadsheet that summarizes what I do these days to analyze rise times and to dissect recipes or design my own variations. Below is some discussion and also some instructions for the spreadsheet. Use it as is, and modify it as you like. It may contain errors, bugs, and it is not carefully designed to work on all computers and operating systems. It uses "macros", which you have to enable, and it probably will only work with relatively recent versions of Excel that would be available in Microsoft Office 2003 or later. I notice that I can use the spreadsheet on a Macbook with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac installed on it.
I've built some models of fermentation rates and rise times over the last few years. There is no science here, just trial and error in an attempt to engineer an admittedly crude but hopefully useful model based partly on observations and partly on what little I can gather from some scientific papers and a few baking books. You can beat me up if you want with general treatises on all the ways this doesn't make sense or can't possibly work or is theoretically completely incorrect. I already am well aware I'm skating on thin ice (or possibly am in a coma under the ice already) in any sort of rigorous intellectual or scientific sense. However, if you want to make some specific constructive suggestions or point out neat ways to get a good handle on this or that factor or places where you think the model gives wrong answers and what should be the right answer, that would be interesting.
I thought it might be worth tossing out this basic approach for how to get a handle on rise times vs. inoculation, salt, temperature, or other factors. I also did some tests on low and high hydration doughs, but I'm not describing that in the simpler approach below.
I went down some fairly lengthy testing roads and built a whole somewhat extensive spreadsheet to model rise time and fermentation time with a few more factors than indicated below in it, but a simpler, and fairly practical approach would be something like:
First make sure your starter is fully vibrant and well refreshed, and make enough to go into these test doughs.
Make up 4 small doughs using a "typical blend" of flour you might most often use. You can guess adjustments for different flours, but it's nice to do this with the flour you will tend to be using most. Make the doughs with about 200g of total flour each as follows. Use 75% hydration, which will make somewhat wet easily worked doughs. In two of the doughs, use 4% inoculation (fermented flour as a percent of total flour), one with no salt, one with 2% salt. In the other two, use 16% inoculation, one with no salt, one with 2% salt.
Try to work all the doughs exactly the same way and for the same amount of time, so the gluten development is about the same. Set them to rise in containers that allow you to determine the time it takes them to double in volume. Remember to carefully label them with the initial time and the volume level they had initially.
When they double in volume note the time, shape them into little loaves and monitor them to see when they proof. Note that time also for each dough. Bake each one when it is ready all using the same temperature if possible.
You can then use the times you get for doubling and proofing of these test doughs when you make other recipes. The total mix to bake time should be the same, whether you shape much earlier or shape closer to when the dough has doubled. Also, the fermentation times should be the same (adjusted for inoculation and salt) for other recipes, regardless of whether you deflate the dough during "folds" or do other handling techniques that may make it difficult to tell when a dough has really risen.
The difference in time to double the volume for an inoculation of 4% vs. 16% will give you an idea of how much time 2 doublings of the population of your starter takes at the temperature you used. The rise times should be roughly logarithmic with respect to inoculation, since bacterial population growth is roughly exponential during most of the bulk fermentation. An inoculation of 8% should take 1/2 of that difference in time less time to rise than the 4% inoculation and 1/2 of that difference more time to rise than the 16% inoculation. You should notice that the salted ones ferment more slowly, so you can adjust for salted vs. unsalted with the information from your test doughs. Unsalted is useful for knowing how long a levain should ripen.
Note that I don't include a 32% inoculation, which maybe should take one generation time less than the 16% inoculation. It seems to me that it doesn't work that way because 32% inoculation with a ripe levain leads to early gluten deterioration or maybe early slowing of the fermentation rate, so a dough rises more slowly than you would think, given the large inoculation. In the model I built, adjustments are made to try to account for slower rises at higher inoculations.
Adjusting for temperature is not so easy, since it gets crazy if you try to run all kinds of tests at different temperatures. I just use the models in a Ganzle paper I have that describe the growth rate as a function of temperature for L. sf and C. milleri. You can adjust the rise times to reflect the relative activity rate at a different temperature from the one you used in your tests. The time should just be inversely proportional to the growth rate.
Finally, as you start to play with more and different test doughs, you'll notice that sometimes rise times don't seem to make sense, and usually I've narrowed it down to differences in gluten quality for different doughs. For example, I've made little test doughs at very low hydration with salt. The gluten becomes incredibly stiff in a small test dough, and it just won't rise. You know the fermentation has to be ongoing, yet the volume increase is not there.
Now, what I actually did was a lot more test doughs than the ones above. I made some rough assumptions, like that the growth rate in doughs is exponential during most of the bulk fermentation, and that the dough is doubled and then proofed when the organisms reach a certain population concentration relative to the initial population concentration in a ripe starter. I'm also assuming that factors such as salt and hydration have a simple multiplicative effect on the growth rate and that the relative growth rates follow the temperature curves in a paper by Ganzle about modelling sourdough organism growth rates. The last thing I did was try to make a model of "gluten quality", which is a function of salt, inoculation percentage, and hydration. The idea is that a very stiff or very loose dough will rise less than a dough somewhere in the middle. All of this is summarized in a spreadsheet I built that tries to set all the model parameters in such a way as to minimize the difference in rise time estimates of model vs. experiment on a large number of different test doughs.
OK, it's a little crazy, I am the first to admit. However, I've found myself doing better breads and able to design my own recipes with it, since I'm not tied to just the observed condition of the dough itself, which may vary a great deal from one recipe to another and is hard for one baker to describe to another. Instead, I have a pretty good idea how long the fermentation should take for my starter, my temperatures, and the recipe inoculations, salt, and hydrations, so I can ferment and proof more according to "the clock". It doesn't mean I don't adjust according to feel and observation of the dough itself, but it seems to help a great deal to have the model's estimates of the right times in mind as I do that, in case there is something misleading about the observations or the feel of a new recipe.
The spreadsheet I'm including has blue cells that are the inputs. There are graphs of various functions used to generate the adjustments to the growth rates of the organisms in the culture. The main inputs are the inoculation, which is the percentage of flour that is coming from a preferment in the total flour in the dough. So if there is a levain with 100g of flour and 100g of water, and the total flour in the dough is 1Kg (900g of additional flour), then the inoculation would be 10%. The salt and hydration are percentages of the total flour in the dough. So, in the example above, if the levain has 100g of flour and 100g of water, and you add 900g of flour to the levain along with 600g of water and 20g of salt, the salt is 2% and the hydration of the dough is 70% (100g water in levain + 600g water added to the dough = 700g in 1Kg of total flour in the dough is 70%).
The "bread calc" tab on the spreadsheet is a general hearth bread recipe that can be changed to match many different hearth breads. You can use it to duplicate a recipe in a book to understand the rise times and see the percentages of ingredients in a consistent format. You can also use it to design your own recipes or make small changes such as scaling the recipe to a different amount, adjusting the amounts of preferment, types of flours, hydration, and so on, to suit your needs.
Here's some stuff to help figure out how to use the spreadsheet for calculating rise times and hearth bread recipes. If you read this step by step, it should help a lot. However, I admit it's long and may take a while to get through. Sorry, I don't know an easy way around it.
First of all, you have to "enable macros", so that the software I wrote will run inside excel. You do that by going to "Tools", then opening the "Macro" dragdown menu, then "Security..." , and finally set the "security level" to "medium". You then have to close Excel and open it again. When you do open the Excel file, it will bring up a dialog box that asks you to decide whether to "enable macros" or not. You should click on the button labeled "Enable Macros".
Once that is done, the file should open for you, and you probably will see the "summary page". There are 4 pages: 1) Summary Page, 2) Bread Calc, 3) Graphs, 4) Model. To change pages you click on the tabs at the bottom of the window. The only pages that you really need to understand are the Summary Page and the Bread Calc page.
Remember that the numbers you can change are highlighted in blue, other than the labels for ingredients and flours in the bread calc page, which can be changed, too. Look for the comments that pop up when you run your mouse over the text boxes with red triangles in them. Those comments should help a lot to figure out what is going on in the spreadsheets.
The Bread Calc page has a generic bread recipe on it. You can change the amounts you see in blue. Most of the amounts you enter are bakers' percentages. If you type 31% (literally a 3, a 1, and a shift-5 for % sign), it will take that as "31%". Some of the amounts are in grams. In that case, just type in the number, like to enter 12g type 12 (literally a 1, then a 2) in the field for the weight in grams that should be highlighted in blue. An example of that is the amount of storage starter.
On the Bread Calc page, you can set up a recipe by first setting the overall numbers down below: the total flour, the overall hydration percentage, the salt percentage, and the desired inoculation percentage (percent of fermented flour coming from the levain, typical example would be 15% fermented flour for the VT Sourdough). Then, enter the amounts of storage starter you want to use. I provided both a firm starter and a 90% hydration starter, but you can change the hydrations of either starter to match the starter you are using. The amounts of storage starter are specified in grams. You also specify the hydration desired for the levain, and specify the percentages of any additional levain flours as a percentage of the total flour in the levain. After that, you specify the additional ingredients and flours in the dough as percentages of the total flour in the recipe.
Just a side note, I do the bakers' percentages based on total flour weight, since that is the best way to scale the entire recipe and understand the overall important percentages like hydration and salt, I believe. Often, in recipe books they don't include the flour coming from the preferments in the total flour used as 100% for the bakers' percentages. So, yes, you do have to play a little with the percentages to get them to match up with a recipe in a book that may not use the same system as I'm using there. However, you can still put almost any hearth bread recipe into the format in the spreadsheet. I've done this same spreadsheet for quite a few different breads, including the Thom Leonard and the Essential's Columbia, as well as various miches, ciabattas, focaccias, and so on.
Finally, you specify your "additional flours" as percentages of total flour weight. The labels on the left for the "ingredients 1-4" and for the "flours 1-5" can be changed to note the flours and ingredients you are using for the recipe. You can see I did that for the miche recipe.
Once you've entered all the items in blue to suit the recipe you want, it will tell you the amounts in each case that you need. If you change one of the inputs, the various amounts will be recalculated. For example, if you change the percentage of one of the "flours 1-5", then that flour's weights will change, and also the "main flour" will be adjusted so that the total flour is still as specified.
The other page of interest is the "summary page", which has the rise time calculations on it. Once again, the numbers that you change are highlighted in blue.
There are three sections to the "summary page". The top is for the levain rise time calculations. The middle is for the dough rise time calculations. The bottom has a "stage calculator" that will allow you to enter the fermentation of the dough in a series of steps, and it will tell you how far the fermentation has progressed in total. You will see an "average factor" that tells starts very small and grows to about 1.0 when the dough should be doubled, and grows to about 2.3 when the final proof is finished. The stage calculator is very useful once you figure it out, but you don't need it at first.
The first number you need to think about is the number labeled "starter speed factor", which sets the overall speed of your starter. Once you know how fast your starter rises by double when fed with a particular flour type or blend, you can set "starter speed factor" to match your starter's rise time. Then, you can calculate other rise times with this summary page. That number can be set in the levain section and in the dough section, since the levain and the dough may have different flours. So, you need to run a test dough or two with typical flours and note the time for them to double, preferably measuring the volume fairly carefully. I would suggest doing a hydration of about 80%, so you don't get too much of a "crown" to confuse matters. It makes sense to do one that is large enough that you aren't getting too much "small dough" effect in the rise time.
For example, you might build a test dough with about 200g of flour. You could make a test dough with 32g of firm starter, 180g of flour and 148g of water. It will be fairly wet, but if you put it in a good rising container that has vertical sides, you can measure the time it takes to rise by double the volume. You note that time, and then set "starter speed factor" on that summary page in the levain section so that a levain with an inoculation of 10% (20g flour in firm starter divided by 200g total flour in the test dough), a salt of 0% (no salt), and a hydration of 80% has a doubling time of what you observed for the test dough. Of course, set the temperature to match what the temperature was for the rise of the test dough. Once you know the "starter speed factor" setting for your test dough, it should be a good number to use elsewhere in the calculations, including in the dough section. However, I've noticed that my doughs rise faster than my white flour levains because the flour blend in the dough is just faster rising. So, you will probably find that the test dough rises a little more slowly than your typical bread does, so you can use a little bit higher "starter speed factor" for the dough, which you will begin to figure out. For me, the "starter speed factor" number for my doughs is about 15% higher than my "starter speed factor" setting for a bread flour levain.
Once you have "starter speed factor" figured out, then the rest of the numbers are just the characteristics of your dough and levain. The inoculation percentages are listed for the recipe that you did in the "bread calcs", so you can just use those inoculation settings most of the time. The other numbers are overall hydration, overall salt, also same numbers as in the spreadsheet for the bread calcs. The temperatures are for the bulk fermentation and the final proof.
The stage calculator just lets you enter times and temperatures in a series of steps. You can see how far your dough progresses in fermenting that way. If you set "starter speed factor" so that the doubling time is right, then the average factor will be about 1.0 at the point the dough has doubled, and it will be about 2.3 when the final proof is complete.
Notice that if you put your mouse over the text boxes with red triangles in them, you will see comments I have made trying to describe the uses of the various fields.

Fermented black beans should be in everyone's pantry—they complement just about any protein and they can be turned into a sauce in no time at all. They are actually small black soy beans preserved in salt. You have to soak them to eliminate some of that salt, but then they are good to go. This sauce would go great not only with salmon, but on top of chicken, shrimp, tofu, or stir-fried vegetables. Serve with Butter-steamed Broccoli with Soy and Simple Boiled Rice.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed, drained, and chopped
- Four 6- to 7-ounce skinless pieces center-cut salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (use a Microplane)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
- 2/3 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or Chicken Stock
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a shallow roasting pan. Combine 1/2 cup boiling water and the chopped beans in a small bowl; set aside for 10 minutes, then drain.
- 2. Meanwhile, arrange the salmon in the roasting pan, skinned side down. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil over the salmon and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- 3. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the soaked and drained black beans, the ginger, and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Whisk together the broth, 1/3 cup water, the wine, cornstarch, and sugar in a bowl and add to the black bean mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve each portion of salmon topped with some of the sauce and sprinkled with some of the scallions.
