The question "how far along am I" goes through most women's mind after discovering that they are pregnant. It is important to determine how far along is your pregnancy (medically called the gestational age or estimated gestational age) in order to be able to calculate your due date as well as to evaluate your baby's development. Two methods can be used to calculate the gestational age and answer the question "how far along am I". The most commonly used method starts counting pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period. No, it is not the correct age of your developing baby if you are perhaps wondering because it starts counting the gestational age before the conception which usually occurs about two weeks after the beginning of your last menstrual period (when you ovulate). So if your doctor uses this method, you are not really pregnant 12 weeks and 3 days for instance but 10 weeks and 3 days.
Due to the fact that this system begins counting pregnancy before the actual conception, some health care providers use the estimated date of ovulation to calculate how far along are you as well as to calculate your due date. However, this method often does not predict the due date correctly either because not all women ovulate two weeks after the beginning of their last menstrual period.
It does not really matter which method your doctor uses to calculate the gestational age nor to estimate your due date. If he or she begins counting pregnancy from the day one of your last menstrual period, he or she will calculate your due date by adding 40 weeks (9 months and 7 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period. So if you began your last menstrual period on January 1, your due date is October 8. But if your doctor uses the estimated ovulation date to determine how far along are you, he or she will start counting pregnancy two weeks later. However, your estimated due date will be the same than in the first method because in this system, pregnancy lasts 38 weeks instead of 40 weeks.
No matter which method of gestational age calculation is used, you need to give your doctor the exact date of the beginning of your last menstrual period or at least as accurate estimation as possible. The more accurate date of your last menstrual period you provide the more accurate will be the estimated due date. But if you cannot recall the date of your last menstrual period, your doctor will calculate how far along are you by assessing the developmental stage of your baby.
The gestational age is not unimportant, especially for evaluating the baby's development but it is not that important for calculation of the due date as you may think. The fact alone that only about 5 percent of women actually give birth on their due date says a lot. In addition, you are considered full term by the beginning of the 38th week of pregnancy or 36th week if pregnancy is counted from the estimated conception.

Brandi Glanville's Leafy Gladiator Sandals
omg! INSIDER•June 24, 2013
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville made a statement for something other than her famous feuding ways over the weekend. The blond beauty made an appearance at Gypsies Lounge and Night Club in the Mount Airy Lodge in Pennsylvania wearing some leafy-looking green gladiator sandals that seemed as if they belonged in an enchanted forest rather than at the club.

There is little question but that the problem of children who are hyperactive is both widespread and of serious concern. Moreover, there appears to be little question that the treatment, though satisfactory in some ways, raises more questions for the critical observer and physician than it answers.
The research dealing with the use of drugs to benefit children who are hyperactive has now accumulated data for more than a third of a century. Like all pioneer research, it must be interpreted with considerable caution. With the exception of a few of the latest studies reported by a very limited number of the more sophisticated researchers, the conclusions and recommendations for the most part have been made uncritically, even optimistically, due possibly to confidence in the clinical acuity of an experienced professional, even though critical interpretation of a study does not warrant definitive conclusions.

Ng Han Guan, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — While the Obama administration is making diplomatic progress on some of the Mideast's thorniest security issues, problems are piling up in Asia, a region that President Barack Obama had wanted to play a bigger part in American foreign policy.
Despite efforts to forge deeper ties with China to make East Asia more stable, Beijing's declaration of a maritime air defense zone has escalated its territorial dispute with U.S. ally Japan. The U.S. responded by flying B-52 bombers through the zone on a training mission Tuesday without informing Beijing.
Analysts say the risk of a military clash between the Asian powers has gone up a notch — a serious concern for the U.S. because its treaty obligations mean it could be drawn in to help Japan.
Meantime, relations between America's core allies in the region, Japan and South Korea, have deteriorated. South Korea is bitter over Japan's attitude toward its colonial past and wants more contrition from Tokyo for Japan's use of Korean sex slaves in World War II.
That complicates the strategic picture for the Obama administration as it looks to advance its so-called pivot to Asia and strengthen not just its own alliances, but get its partners in the region to collaborate more.
"The region is moving in a very problematic direction," said Evans Revere, a former senior U.S. diplomat and East Asia specialist. "That's the result of territorial disputes, historical issues, long-standing rivalries and the inability of countries to put history behind them and move forward in improving relations."
Adding to this witches' brew of bickering in the region, Washington is grappling with the threat posed by an unpredictable North Korea. The deal the U.S. orchestrated with Iran to temporarily freeze its nuclear program, despite three decades of animosity, is a stark reminder of the impasse in negotiations with Pyongyang.
Unlike Iran, North Korea already has a nuclear bomb, and there's worrying evidence it is pressing ahead with weapons development.
Analysts expect Vice President Joe Biden to broach these issues when he travels to Japan, China and South Korea next week — a trip to demonstrate that the top level of the administration remains focused on Asia.
Secretary of State John Kerry hasn't neglected the region, but his primary focus is on the Mideast and is likely to remain that way as he strives for the distant goals of an end to Syria's civil war, peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and a comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran after the current pact expires in six months.
U.S. domestic woes have contributed to a narrative that Asia is a secondary concern to the administration.
Obama was forced to cancel a four-nation trip to the region in October because of a partial U.S. government shutdown and threat of a debt default. He'll travel to Asia in April instead.
Obama made Asia a foreign policy priority when he took power in 2009 and has been particularly active in engaging China. Not known for the personal touch with foreign leaders, Obama sought to cultivate a relationship with new Chinese leader Xi Jinping when he met him in June at a California resort. That's part of a strategy to promote cooperation between the world's two largest economies and prevent their rivalry in the Asia-Pacific from spawning conflict.
But China's declaration of its East China Sea air defense zone will be viewed as unhelpful. It was rejected by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and prompted quick expressions of deep U.S. concern that it could escalate tensions in the region.
"This really casts bit of a pall over efforts to improve (U.S.-China) relations," Revere said.
The U.S. said it would not change how it conducts military operations in the region and flew a pair of B-52 bombers through the zone Tuesday on what officials said was a long-planned training mission.

Re: Looking for input on myfico
OP, welcome! I split your post to form a new one here. I had to edit the title, but changed nothing else. If you'd like to change the title, click "Options" and then "Edit Message".
The only product within myFICO.com that charges $19.95 is FICO® Standard. FICO Standard gives you the option to buy either your EQ FICO report and/or your TU FICO report. These reports are a one-time pull only and are viewable for 30 days from purchase. The $19.95 isn't a membership fee; nothing else comes with the reports like monitoring, etc.
The 30% discount I think comes with a subscription to Score Watch®. I know you get 30% off future EQ FICO reports with SW, but I don't think you get a discount after purchasing FICO Standard, though it would be pretty cool if they did.

Recipes of the Day
All recipes from Deborah Madison's book "Local Flavors." I've made them all, and they're all good.
Lazy Corn Stew With Tomatoes
1 bunch red or green scallions
1/2 pound yellow summer squash
4 ears sweet corn
3 (about 3/4 pound) yellow tomatoes, such as Taxi
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 jalapeño chile, seeded and finely diced
Several sprigs green or purple basil
10 Sun Gold tomatoes
Cut the scallions, including the firm greens, into 1/2-inch lengths. Cut the squash lengthwise into quarters or sixths, then into 1/3-inch dice. Shuck the corn, then slice off the top two-thirds of the kernels with a sharp knife. Reversing your blade, press out the corn milk.
Peel and seed the yellow tomatoes, squeezing the seeds and juice into a strainer placed over a bowl. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. When bubbling, add the scallions and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the squash, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add 1/4 cup water.
Lay the tomato pieces over the squash, add the strained juice and cover with the corn and half the chile. Bury 2 large sprigs of the basil into the vegetables, then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the Sun Gold tomatoes in half and set them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons torn basil leaves and the remaining chile. When the vegetables are finished cooking, taste for salt and season with pepper. Strew the Sun Gold tomatoes over the top and serve.
Summer Squash and Squash Blossom Risotto
1 pound or more ripe yellow tomatoes
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped marjoram
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt
1 pound yellow squash
5 to 6 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely diced shallots
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
20 to 30 squash blossoms, slivered
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Cut the tomato walls (sides) into small, neat pieces and finely mince the cores. Put them in a bowl with the garlic, herbs, oil and a few pinches of salt and set aside. Cut the squash into small dice, about twice as large as the grains of rice. Have the stock simmering on the stove.
Melt the butter in a wide pot. Add the shallots and squash and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the squash has begun to color, about 15 minutes.
Add the rice and stir to coat it with the butter. Pour in the wine and simmer until it's absorbed, then add 1/2 cup stock and simmer until it's absorbed. Keep adding stock in 1/2-cup increments until the rice is cooked, using 5-6 cups in all. Turn off the heat and stir in the tomatoes and cheese. Stir in the squash blossoms, taste for salt and season with pepper.
1 pound asparagus
2 pounds shelling peas
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 spring onions or other small, fresh onions, thinly sliced
1 head green garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup white wine
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few fresh basil leaves or a small handful of chervil
Optional: A handful of morels or chanterelles if they're in season
1. Peel the asparagus stalks if they're thick and trim the bases. If they're thin, snap them at the breaking point. Slice them diagonally into several pieces, then put them in a bowl of cold water to soak while you shuck the peas.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet. Add the onions and garlic (and morels, if using) and cook over medium heat until they look as though they're starting to fry, then add the wine. Once the wine cooks down, add 1 cup water and the asparagus. Simmer until the asparagus is nearly tender, about 7 minutes. Add the peas and cook until they're done, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and add a twist of pepper and the last bit of butter. Tear the basil leaves right into the dish or add the chervil, then turn off the heat and serve.

By RICHARD L. BERKE
Published: March 29, 1998
WICHITA, Kan., March 27— As Republicans struggle to retain the narrowest House majority held by any party in the last half century, they may benefit in this year's midterm elections from something of a political security blanket: Incumbents around the nation are savoring high popularity ratings, and the sturdy economy and dearth of contentious issues has left many challengers with no foothold.
Although the two parties are also wrangling over 36 governorships and a third of the Senate, the early signs point to one of the most serene midterm election seasons in years, even in districts like Representative Todd Tiahrt's here, which have seen pitched battles in each of the last two elections.
Democrats concede that they have no chance to regain the majority in the Senate this year, while Republicans do not count on reaching the 60-vote margin needed to cut off a filibuster. Democrats also expect that Republicans will hold on to most of the big-state governorships. That leaves most of the attention on about 75 of the most competitive House seats.
Most political analysts agree that Republicans are well positioned to maintain their House margin, but their 11-seat edge is so slim that no one can speak with confidence about the outcome. Even if the House does not change hands, the result will be important in determining the extent of President Clinton's negotiating room over the next two years.
The quiet campaign environment may be deceptive. The wild card looming over the electorate is how -- or even whether -- the White House sex scandal will play. It could bring out angry Republicans in November. Or if the House Republicans conduct impeachment hearings, that could embolden Democrats who could view it as excessively partisan. Another possibility is that the issue will not sway voters one way or another.
Though incumbents are mindful of the possibility of a dramatic event that could alter the political forces, they are enjoying what many of them said in interviews is the most stress-free pre-election period in years. Here in Wichita at this time two years ago, Mr. Tiahrt (pronounced TEE-heart) was in a tight re-election battle as unions were bombarding the district with television commercials portraying him as eager to slash Medicare. His campaign headquarters was in full swing in downtown offices, and Mr. Tiahrt was furiously calling supporters for donations.
This year, Democrats have yet to find an opponent for Mr. Tiahrt -- and they might not do so. The only semblance of a campaign in Mr. Tiahrt's Fourth Congressional District is in the basement of Linda Arensdorf's modest clapboard house in west Wichita. She is the campaign's only paid staff member thus far. Instead of frenetic volunteers, the only background noise is Rush Limbaugh on the radio.
''This is it,'' Mrs. Arensdorf said as she surveyed the quarters from which she responds to letters from the Federal Election Commission and sends mailings to supporters. ''Pretty impressive, huh?''
Reminding her visitor from the East that ''we have tornadoes in this part of the county,'' she fretted that the basement was so cramped that ''we'd have no place to go.'' Still, Mrs. Arensdorf said it was a welcome change from two years ago, when ''the feeling I had was that we were trying to repair a car while we were going 60 or 70 miles an hour down the highway.''
No one seems more appreciative or, more accurately, relieved, than Mr. Tiahrt, a conservative who in 1994 upset Representative Dan Glickman, a Democrat who had held the seat for 18 years and is now Secretary of Agriculture. ''Last time I was fighting for my life,'' said Mr. Tiahrt, who won with only 50 percent of the vote in 1996. ''Now, I'm enjoying the products of hard labor. Instead of fighting negative ads, I'm basking in the satisfaction of being able to do something for my district.''
Mr. Tiahrt is not alone. While Kansas is a largely Republican state, local officials in both parties said they could not remember so little competition against the Republican incumbents. Gov. Bill Graves, who was in a hard-fought race four years ago, has no opponent. Nor does Senator Sam Brownback, who was elected in a bitter battle two years ago to fill the seat vacated by Senator Bob Dole. Of the four members of Congress from the state, only one, Representative Vince Snowbarger, appears to have a serious challenge.
The lack of competition extends far beyond the plains of Kansas. In Pennsylvania, six years ago, Senator Arlen Specter found himself in an intense struggle after his role in the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice. And four years ago, Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania was in a costly, high-profile race. This year, those two Republicans face only token opposition.
In Texas, the race for Governor is the least competitive in years. Gov. George W. Bush has an enormous lead in early polls over Garry Mauro, the State Land Commissioner. Former Gov. Ann Richards was also popular, but that did not stop Mr. Bush from taking her on four years ago.
''It's going to be a huge incumbent's year,'' said Representative Joe Scarborough, a Florida Republican. ''It's going to be monstrous. I think 98 percent will return'' to office.

We ended our trip at the Pfunda Tea Company factory. Two thousand people work on the Pfunda Tea Estate, and the company also runs a cooperative for area tea farmers. All the tea is raised without pesticides, and, in February 2011, Pfunda Tea Company became the first company in Rwanda to obtain Rainforest Alliance certification. One hundred and fifty people work 8 hours shifts in the tea factory, day and night. They will produce over 4.4 million lbs. (or 2 million kgs.) of black tea this year. The climate, altitude, and soil of the area is excellent for growing high-quality tea. Waste water from the tea processing is diverted to a garden pool and treated with "Effective Microorganisms," a product that cleans water and eliminates bad odors with a combination of microorganisms that were collected and cultivated naturally.

During the rainy season, at the height of production, the Pfunda Tea Factory processes 60 tonnes of tea from the surrounding plantations daily. Guided tours follow the tea production from arrival of the green leaf through to the withering, cutting, drying and sorting stages, before it is packaged for shipment to Mombasa (Kenya). The factory is about 5km from town and most easily reached by moto-taxi (RFr500 for locals but you'll most likely pay double that).

I'm using Vimperator with firefox, and I find i always type the same URL, for example I type " http://gigapedia.info/1/@title C++ " to search a ebook with "C++" include in title, How can i just type "C++" and can get the complete URL?
I'm also not sure what you want. However this may be helpful:
You can now search via FireFox's location bar by typing:
It'll then take you to: http://gigapedia.info/google?cx=partner-pub-0811008802470909:3vu8gy-n059&cof=FORID:10&ie=UTF-8&q=c%2B%2B&sa=Search&siteurl=gigapedia.info/
You can do this for any URL that takes a param.

I have a three dimensional array, say dat.shape = (100,128,256). I'm trying to count the number of periods that have values greater than 10.0 across the first axis. For example, for dat[:,0,0], how many times does a value greater than 10.0 occur? Then, dat[:,0,1] to dat[:,n,m]. My end matrix would have a shape of (128,156).
Is there a way to do this calculation in numpy or scipy without looping across the 1st and 2nd dimension?
Thank you very much!

Michelle Obama has opened up to the Parade Magazine on motherhood, life in the White House and her future plans. Among other, she also talked about the campaign against childhood obesity and why she decided to focus on this issue, and shared her thoughts about her approaching 50th birthday (in January 2014).
In the interview with the Parade Magazine, the First Lady revealed that she experiences the same challenges as other moms who are raising two teenage daughters. Although living in the White House, 15-year-old Malia and 12-year-old Sasha have to follow certain rules as well. However, Miss Obama also said she tries to provide them as much independence as possible. She said she let her daughters know that she is preparing them for both college and life, and that they need to know the boundaries. The First Lady explained that her daughters are still expected to follow the screen time rules.
When asked about her oldest daughter's further education, Miss Obama hinted that Malia is considering where to go to college but she also said she doesn't want to rush her. The First Lady told the Parade Magazine that she is aware of the pressure kids are experiencing and that she doesn't want it to affect her daughter's high school experience.
The First Lady also explained what she meant by describing herself as a single mom. She said she above all meant on her husband having a huge responsibility which interferes with his responsibility as a father. Miss Obama said she supports her husband and gives him credit for knowing their schedule and who are truly their friends. But she added that he isn't calling the dance studio or dealing with the next year's classes. She said she thinks that it is very important for the parents to share the responsibility for children.
As mentioned earlier, Miss Obama also talked about her campaign against childhood obesity and why she made it her priority. She said they have managed to show the Americans that childhood obesity is a serious issue which needs much more attention than it received in the past. But besides raising public awareness about this issue, they have also managed to turn a challenging problem into a manageable one, while the campaign has started showing results. The goal is to reduce the numbers within one generation, the First Lady added.
When asked about her approaching 50th birthday, the First Lady said she has never felt more self-confident and certain in who she is as a woman. However, she also said she is always thinking about her health and making sure that she is eating healthy and being adequately physically active, adding that she wants to be fit and healthy 80-, 90-year old.
Miss Obama was very clear about her eventual presidential run, answering simply "no" when asked if she will ever run herself. She refused to speculate whether Hillary Clinton will be the first female president of the United States but she said she is convinced that the country will have a female commander-in-chief during her lifetime.

Asymmetrical spnnakers power sportboats like this Melges 24.
By Tom Burden
Many sailors who cruise and daysail look at spinnakers with suspicion, regarding them as frightening racing sails, about as welcome on the foredeck as a pissed–off 600lb. gorilla. We've always felt that constant learning keeps sailing enjoyable, and we also believe that getting to your destination faster is a good thing, whether you're a racer, daysailor or a cruiser. Therefore, we're going to discuss adding a spinnaker, the options regarding sail type, and some gear to make launching and taming this beastly device simpler. We assume that our audience is a daysailing or cruising sailor or couple with a Hunter 27, Catalina 30 or similar, that you are experienced in the basics, can handle your boat with some proficiency, and are considering adding this dimension to your sailing.
The asymmetrical spinnaker is the category–defining sail for hot racing boats known as "sportboats" that have bowsprits and sail very fast at "hotter" reaching angles. Boats like the Melges 24, J105 and others use asymmetricals. Many cruisers are also flying asymmetrical chutes, and we recommend them highly because they allow an increased range of downwind sailing angles, often will fly more easily than a symmetrical spinnaker at the sailing angles you most frequently sail, and can usually be flown without a pole. The terminology is confusing though, so let's get some agreed–upon definitions for what exactly is an asymmetrical spinnaker.
Spinnaker: The traditional spinnaker is a symmetrical sail, with either edge able to serve as the leading edge or luff, and is almost always used with a spinnaker pole. Most efficient type when sailing at deep downwind angles.
Nothing says "sailing" like a bright, colorful spinnaker, in this case, a 3/4 ounce symmetrical kite. Christine Weaver/NorCal Sailing photo.
Asymmetrical spinnaker or gennaker: Called by either name, this free–flying sail is attached at the corners like a symmetrical chute, and not along the luff like a genoa. However, unlike a traditional spinnaker, the luff is longer than the leach (the same edge is always the luff) and the maximum depth is closer to the luff. Typical sailing angles downwind range from 60° to 145° apparent wind. At broader angles than this, an asymmetrical can be set from a pole and pulled aft to avoid the blanketing effect of the mainsail, just like a traditional spinnaker.
Fixed–luff reachers/screechers/drifters: A somewhat nebulous category, these sails contain a low–stretch luff rope that acts as a headstay when tensioned with a purchase system. Often these sails are set on roller furling systems like Harken's Code Zero ot Facnor FX Code Zero. These are specialist sails, and often work best at sailing angles ranging from 50° to 110°. An upwind drifter replaces a regular genoa in light wind, as the name implies, and sets on the headstay.
A conventional cross–cut or tri–radial chute is perhaps the most effective way to increase your sail area (and speed) downwind, and is arguably the prettiest sail in a boat's inventory. A complete cruising inventory should ideally include symmetrical chutes, which set dead downwind more efficiently, since they can be rotated farther away from the mainsail's shadow. Most gear works equally well with an asymmetrical.
Spinnaker poles are almost always the length of the boat's J dimension–roughly the distance from the mast to the jib tack. Sailboats to about 24 feet typically use a 2" diameter pole; boats 24'–28' can use a 2 1/2" diameter pole; and boats to 35', a 3" diameter pole. Most sailors on boats to about 32' will opt for doing "end for end" jibes,where the pole leaves the mast during the jibe and re–attaches to the mast with the former outboard end. This requires a symmetrical pole with two piston or trigger end fittings. Larger boats perform "dip pole" jibes, which usually require different end fittings at each pole end as well as a separate foreguy (see diagram).
Secure storage in a convenient location keeps the pole readily available but safely out of the way. Chocks on deck or attached to stanchions are most common. Vertical storage on the front of the mast is becoming popular, keeping the pole in ready–to–deploy position (but it should be removed from the mast and stowed securely on deck or below during a storm).
Aluminum T–track and a car on the forward side of your mast is used to adjust the height of the inboard end of the pole. On small boats, a mast car with a pin stop is sufficient, but larger boats will place so much more force on the pole that you'll need an adjustment line with a purchase system to control the position of the inboard end. This requires a pole car with uphaul and downhaul bails, rather than a pin. Track sizes mirror what you'd use for jib lead track: 1" to about 30' and 1 1/4" over 30'.
This boat is using both a spinnaker pole and a reaching strut. Struts are getting less common these days. This 50-year-old Cal 40 is typical of the big boats (dinosaurs?) that use this interesting pole. Photo by Kitty Hansen.
Spinnakers require a pair of sheets, like jibs, and two afterguys on boats that perform dip–pole jibes. We've used Ronstan snap shackles to connect spinnaker sheets for years, and they work well with the addition of a small lanyard. Big boats almost universally use Tylaska or Wichard shackles, but you have to use a tapered fid to release them under load. Really small boats (under 2,000lb.) can use a single set of sheets and Sister clips (Ronstan medium size RF89, Model 121079) for attachment. This is a cheap, foolproof way to make fast connections to small spinnakers.
Spinnaker sheets, and afterguys especially, are a good place to use low–stretch line. This way, you can use smaller line, which weighs less. For light air sheets, consider sheets of Flight Line, which will absorb less water when it droops in the drink and not weigh down the clews. Other control lines can be Sta–Set braid, as low stretch is not as critical.
Snatch blocks have a multitude of applications on board, but they are especially helpful in taming chutes. By running the spinnaker sheet through a snatch block that is aft of the chainplates, you can control the oscillations of an unruly sail, prevent the sheet from chafing on the underside of the boom, and change the lead angle if necessary. Snatch blocks can also be used to lead afterguys back to the cockpit, or as an easily removable fore–guy block.
Once you get rigged, go out in light wind and practice, or set the chute at the dock, at anchor or on the trailer with a favorable five knot breeze. Keep the clews level on your symmetrical spinnaker. Raise or lower the pole so the sail luffs evenly from top to bottom. Practice sets, douses and gybes. It's fun! As you gain experience, you can fly the chute in increasingly breezy conditions.

Chez Arnaud St. Paul: New home of the epic macaron
A massive macaron at Chez Arnaud
Emily Weiss
Though they have been around since the 1790s (with some similar confections appearing as far back as two centuries prior), the sweet and delicate macaron has been enjoying a marked renaissance for the last decade or so. Thanks to fashionable real-life and fictional characters like Blair Waldorf and Olivia Palermo advertising their penchant for macarons from the famed Maison Ladurée in Paris, patisseries all over and even non-French bakeries in America have seen a spike in demand and responded by ramping up their production of macarons. But bakers are no longer just sticking to the traditional pale pastels and ganache fillings.

Target macaron taste test
White truffle, matcha green tea, and floral-scented macarons made with lavender or rose are just a few of the latest trends, but the Cake Club, an attention-grabbing, boundary-pushing bakery in Bonifacio Global City, Philippines, goes one better. They make a savory macaron with a traditional, slightly sweet outer shell speckled with tiny bits of porcini mushrooms and a middle layer of unctuous foie gras.
Locally, one patisserie and boulangerie is putting its own mark on the usually dainty macaron. Chez Arnaud's Le Grande Macaron is a super-sized version of the French original. After the crisp top and almond-rich chewy middle, Chez Arnaud sandwiches in a thick layer of cream dotted with either raspberries or blackberries and another coaster-sized macaron on the bottom. It's easily enough for two to share and is best at room temperature, if you can stop yourself from digging in for a few moments.
The new Grand Avenue bakery also makes smaller versions in elegant flavors such as pistachio, pink champagne, and rosewater.

Tortorella Set to Be Hired as Canucks' Coach After Rangers Exit
John Tortorella is set to be introduced as coach of the Vancouver Canucks today after spending the past 4 1/2 years with the New York Rangers and guiding the team to the playoffs the past three seasons.
Tortorella will replace Alain Vigneault, who took the Rangers' vacancy after being fired by the Canucks, ESPN has reported, citing people familiar with the situation.
The Canucks, who went 26-15-7 this season before getting swept by the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the National Hockey League playoffs, have scheduled a news conference for later today.
Tortorella, who turned 55 yesterday, has won 410 games over parts of 13 seasons as an NHL coach and captured a Stanley Cup title with the Tampa Bay Lightning during the 2003-04 campaign.
Vigneault, 52, had a 313-170-57 record in Vancouver and the team won the Northwest Division each of the last five seasons, though 2012-13 was a step back for a franchise that has become one of the NHL's regular Stanley Cup contenders. The Canucks were 19th among the league's 30 teams in goals per game, and ranked in the bottom 10 in power-play percentage and faceoff percentage. They've also lost 10 of their last 11 playoff games.

Paws! We're looking for a lead...
8 Nov 2012
The Octagon Theatre Bolton is looking for dog owners who would like their canine companion to audition for the forthcoming production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Auditions will be taking place on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 November at the Octagon Theatre Bolton.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to spend time seeing how a professional theatre production works behind the scenes, and who may want to get their pet into the acting business - who knows, you may have the next Lassie or Pudsey on your hands!
Octagon Artistic Director, and Director of Of Mice and Men, David Thacker, commented: "The dog in Of Mice and Men is much-loved by his owner Candy, both the dog and Candy are in their later years and there is a real bond between the two characters. The dog that we are looking for needs to have a very steady disposition, and may well be an older dog whose years of life experience will count in his or her favour! The dog we are casting is described in the text as 'A dragfooted sheepdog, gray of muzzle, and with pale, blind old eyes'. The actual breed of the dog is something that we are happy to be flexible on, our main priority is getting the right dog for the role."
The dog that we are looking for does not need to be of any particular breed and no acting experience is required, the dog will remain on a leash when on stage and will only appear for a short time in Act 1, simply walking on stage with the actor David Fleeshman, who will be playing the dog's owner Candy. The most important factor is that there is total commitment from the owner for the entire run of the show and that the dog has a calm and friendly disposition, with the capacity to be comfortable in the presence of audiences of up to 350 people. On-stage lighting will be used throughout the show and so the dog will also need to be comfortable with lighting changes that will be taking place.
Applicants must be prepared to commit to every performance during the run of the show, including all matinee and evening shows – a total of 33 separate performances from Thursday 17 January to Saturday 16 February 2013. You must also be available during the weeks commencing 7 and 14 January 2013 for occasional rehearsals, dates to be confirmed. All expenses will be paid.
For an application form please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01204 520661. The deadline for all applications to be received is Monday 26 November 2012.
Of Mice and Men is at the Octagon from Thursday 17 January – Saturday 16 February 2013.Tickets are from £23.50 - £9.50. Book on 01204 520661, or at www.octagonbolton.co.uk

Some, like me, might consider the no rooms on the mountain a plus! Greatly updated since the Olympics, it has become our fave mountain, stealing our spoiled butts from Deer Valley most Days. The trick is to rent a room in Salt Lake and U can ski at any of nine mts. but Snowbasin is all alone so there are less lines, (many locals come here for that reason) and excellent skiing and amenities. The changing rooms and Johns are nicer and cleaner than at The Grand America Hotal (a 4-5 star Hotel in Salt Lake). You can race down the same slope the used for the downhill races at the olympics and they have TWO Gondolas on opposite sides of the mountain so there is always more acerage to ski. The chairs are relatively fast and once you get past the initial morning rush, there are few, if any lines anywhere on the Mt. The food is like eating at a fine restaurant, always tasty, if sometimes pricey. But when you get a bowl of Beff-Veggie stew, its more stew than broth, plus home baked bread to ckean the bowl. And if you dine up top, you get to watch "The Crazies" who hike up to the chutes way up top and there's always either amazing skiing or amazing tumbles to watch and entertain you through the windows or out on the terrace if the weather is nice enough.
They do a good job on the groomed areas, but there is plenty of off-piste skiing for those more daring. My wife often signs up for a group lesson and is the only one or two in "the group". Instructors are top notch as they are at most Utah Mts. It's a very different feeling than park city or The Cottonwood Canyon resorts because there's no lodges, you feel more in tune with nature, and the views, because of that, are amazing.
Although its almost alone, (Wolf Mt. is not too far but much smaller and "home town"), the roads are always well plowed and easy to get to. About a 40-45 minute ride as opposed to a 35-40 minute ride to Alta or Deer Valley. If you like to be pampered, a la Deer Val. but like it quiter or not quiet so pampered, this is the place for you. You also meet locals in the Gondola on the way up that gladly point you to the best parts of the mountain and know the snow and weathered areas really well.
The worst thing thats ever happened to me is occasionally a fog will blanket the mountain and you cannot see a yard in front of you until it lifts, (usually in a half hour or so, if it comes) and is like being in a weird movie and interesting, scary fun in and of itself. Trails are decently marked and its always easy to find the bottom from anywhere. But as I said, great snow, great amenities, a few bucks cheaper, you just cannot go wrong here! We've skied here for 6 of the last 7 years and it gets better every year.

Saturday was 150th anniversary of US-Dakota WarBreaking News
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- One Historian calls it the most important six-weeks in Minnesota History. The U.S.-Dakota war defined Minnesota and even the Red River Valley for decades to come. Its 150th Anniversary is tomorrow.
Markus Krueger/Historical and Cultural Society of Clay Co.: "The Red River Valley in 1862 was the edge of the United States, the northwestern edge of the United States."
After selling their land to the U.S. Government in the 1850s, the Dakota tribe in Minnesota was mistreated and cheated out of much of its money by Indian Agents and traders.
Krueger: "Known by outsiders as the Sioux, they were quite literally starving to death."...

Sundance 2012 Backbeat: 'Filly Brown' Sdtk Features Jenni Rivera, Edward James Olmos Duet
Regional Mexican star Jenni Rivera and actor Edward James Olmos may not sound like an obvious singing duo, but that's exactly what they're doing on the soundtrack of the new film, "Filly Brown."
Olmos and Rivera are currently promoting their new film in Park City, Utah, at the Sundance Film Festival. They appear in the film and perform together on the soundtrack which will be made commercially available once the film finds a distributor.
"Hurts So Bad," is a tenderly written composition that has an "oldies" sound from the '50s and can be heard in the film about an aspiring Latina hip-hop rapper in Los Angeles struggling to find her way in life. Rivera, whose performance has been receiving praise, plays her mother in prison. The song was written by Arthur Dominguez, Olmos, Mico Olmos, Chris Perez, Edward Rios, Jenni Rivera and David Salas, who also performs on the track.
"Filly Brown" is directed by Youssef Delara and Michael D. Olmos and stars Gina Rodriguez, an actress who learned to rap for the film, says Lisa "Khool Aid" Rios, one of the producers of the film who also appears in the project along with Lou Diamond Phillips and Olmos, an executive producer.

During an exclusive listening session with Billboard, the film's producers Mico Olmos, Edward "E-Dub" Rios and Lisa "Khool Aid" Rios played tracks from the film which features several music producers, writers and contributors such as rapper/producer Chingo Bling, also in the film.
Lisa Rios says that while the film tells the story of Filly Brown, it also tells a bigger story of the Latin hip-hop community and as a result, many artists and producers came together to support the project and help Rodriguez channel the role of a rapper finding her way through life.
"We were confident that if we had a talented actor that had some sort of rhythmic ability and urban connection, we could take them there and we were so lucky to get a person like Gina Rodriguez," says Lisa Rios.
The film is being produced by Cima Productions, Olmos Productions and Silent Giant Entertainment's Lisa Rios and husband Edward Rios, known for their pioneering work in the Latin hip-hop genre.
The "Filly Brown" soundtrack is being produced through Silent Giant Entertainment.
During the listening session, producers also played other songs from the soundtrack including "Reflections," a piece that was written by Jose Javier Lopez, Larry Patino, Edward Rios and Reza Safinia. A pop version of "Filly Brown" is performed by Rodriguez and rapper Chingo Bling. "Get Away" is performed by Braxton Millz featuring J.Black and was written by Tomasello and Justin Aleman.
"Filly Brown" is part of Sundance's 2012 U.S. dramatic competition among 16 American narrative feature films premiering at the festival which continues through Jan. 29 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.

From the Author
You'll find that our book is chock full of information about coffee's history, international trade, consumption trends, growth of the specialty coffee industry, and the blossoming of the organic and fair trade coffee movements--and it's filled with fun illustrations, photos, maps, graphs, and a few cartoons to boot. We think you'll find it really gratifying to learn about the products you use, and to learn about them in such an accessible and fun book. We also think that this book, together with a nice pound of delicious coffee beans, would make a darling gift for all those coffee fans out there (doesn't everyone in the world know a coffee fanatic?)
Since we're madly in love with coffee, we had a great time doing the research and know that you'll have a great time drinking it up!
Our favorite coffee? We like maximum flavor and minimum impact--so we dig fairly traded organic coffees.
Nina Luttinger and Gregory Dicum

No matter what config changes I make, every time I enable page cache, the page loads the next time I refresh the page (on a browser session where I'm not logged into WP), but the next time I refresh, i get a blank page, and there's literally nothing in view source. If I clear all caches (from the dashboard) I can get the page to load after one refresh, but the next refreshes are once again a white screen.
I'm on hostgator with a shared hosting plan. Disk basic is the page cache method. Previously, when I had "disk enhanced" enabled, I would get a 500 server error. Just for giggles, I tried setting it to disk enhanced again and saved settings, now I keep getting this message at the top:
"Preview mode is active: Changed settings will not take effect until preview mode is [deploy], [disable] or [preview]"
The preview looks fine, but if I click deploy, it just refreshes the screen with that same message, like it can't deploy for some reason.

"Bratislava - The smallest big city" Bratislava by Rupanworld
Bratislava Travel Guide: 2,014 reviews and 4,541 photos
Bratislava (variously called as Europe's smallest big city, or a Big small city etc) is the capital city of Slovakia and the country's largest city. It lies on both banks of the the river Danube. It borders two countries, Austria and Hungary and it is the only national capital in the world that borders two countries. At the same time Bratislava and Vienna are the two closest national capitals in Europe. Vienna is only 60 kilometres away from this city. Bratislava is the political, cultural and economic capital of Slovakia and it houses many educational institutions, museums, theatres apart from government offices. It has a very old settlement dating back to 5000 BC.
Historically the town has been known by various names. Germans used to call it Pressburg, French call it Presbourg, the Greek name is Istropolis, while the Czech name is Pre?purk, Latin name is Posonium, Croatian name is Po?un. The city was named Bratislava in 1919. It's first recorded name dating back to the 10th century was Brezalauspurc. Later on it was also renamed as Pre?porok.In the past Bratislava has been the capital city of Hungary for many years. It was only on creation of the country of Czechoslovakia after World War I, in 1918, that the city was made a part of this country despite the reluctance of the city leaders to be so annexed therewith.
In 1993, the city became the capital of the newly formed Slovak Republic following the Velvet Divorce and formation of two separate states from the erstwhile Czechoslavia, viz. Czech Republic and Slovakia. Soon after formation of the new country the city saw a lot of foreign investment. The city is a flourishing one at the moment. One of my very memorable solo trips have been to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. I loved every bit of this small city except the fact that it is so very difficult to find somebody here that speaks in English. I was here for three days and could easily explore the city on foot. I met some nice people although unlike my other trips, I was unable to make any friend during the trip.
- In a nutshell:Nice cool city with many places to see

March 22, 2010
After an almost half-century long effort to reform our nation's health care system, the Harvard College Democrats are happy to celebrate yesterday's historic vote in the House of Representatives. In passing H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the United States Congress took a vital step forward in ensuring quality, secure, and affordable health care for all Americans. We congratulate President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for finally addressing what Senator Edward Kennedy called the "great unfinished business of our society." Additionally, the Dems thank our Congressman Mike Capuano for supporting these crucial changes, and we are proud that such a vocal advocate of progressive values represents the interests of our community.
Among its far-reaching effects, the legislation approved last night will eventually expand health insurance coverage to over 95% of Americans. In its common-sense provisions that protect from unfair and costly insurance practices, the bill expands access for millions to life-saving medicine. The Dems are happy to support a bill that embodies our belief that health care is a human right, not a luxury. While the bill is far from perfect, the Dems believe that it is an ideal first step in addressing one of our nation's monumental issues.
"We could not be more excited about last night's victory," said Dems President Jason Q. Berkenfeld '11. "This is the change we were fighting for in 2008, and it's great to see months of activism finally pay off. Justice has come for millions of Americans who have been exploited by a broken system."
As active advocates of a more fair and equitable health care system, our members worked tirelessly during the 2008 campaign to support Democratic candidates who would work to enact badly-needed health care reform. Last fall, the Dems renewed their commitment to change by organizing college students in a campaign dubbed, "Reform Can't Wait."
The Dems are overjoyed at having been part of this monumental movement to make life better for millions of Americans, and we look forward to continuing our efforts on behalf of the progressive agenda. "Now we move on to the next big issue of our time, whether it's education, financial reform, climate change or immigration," said Berkenfeld. "We as an organization won't stop fighting for what is right."
The Harvard College Democrats are the largest partisan political organization at Harvard University. With over three hundred active members who participate in regular campaign and community service events, the Harvard College Democrats are a powerful and expanding group of undergraduates.
