Is this a small hand or a big cookie? You decide!
I read all the comments on Anna's blog about this subject: people that had tasted the cookies, some that had seen this tv show, curious, chocolate chip cookies lovers, etc. I got involved with this and for me cloning wasn't the issue anymore, I just wanted to find the best cookie ever! Well, this is almost impossible I know because tastes differ so much from person to person. But hey, I can try and find the best cookie FOR ME. You if you want, try and find yours :) ! After Anna baked I don't know how many batches she finally got to her final one. Today I decided to give it a try, but decided to experiment it my way. I divided the dough into 4 and used 4 different kinds of leavenings. I just love this experiments and that's why I live in love with pastry.
Here they are, the 4 "little" things! Top left has good old BAKING POWDER, top right has well known BAKING SODA, bottom left has classic combo BAKING POWDER + BAKING SODA and bottom right I decided to inovate and trow in some magic: INSTANT YEAST. Instant yeast in a cookie? Well, why not I ask?
See the differences?
And now some inside voyerism.
Adapted from Cookiemadness (Thanks Anna!)
- 110 gr (4 oz) butter room temperature but not very soft
- 6 tbs sugar
- 6 tbs dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 180 gr (6 1/2 oz) stong/bread flour
- 1/4+1/8 tspn salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped untoasted walnuts
- Favourite type of leavening:
- 1/2 tsp baking powder OR
- 1/2 tsp baking soda OR
- 1/4 tsp baking powder+ 1/4 tsp baking soda OR
- 1/4 tsp instant bread yeast (yes reduce quantity in half for this one)
Beat butter and both sugars just until they come together. Don't over-beat. Add the egg and salt and beat just until incorporated. Mix together the flour and favourite leavening . When thoroughly mixed, add to batter and stir just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. The dough should be neither sticky nor dry. Divide dough into two large mounds, but keep the mounds kind of raggedy. That is, don't smash them into compact balls. Bake on pre-heated oven at 190ºC (375º F) for 10m and then reduce the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and bake 10 m more. Cool on sheet for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
So what did I think of all this?
Cookie 1 (BP)- Really nice, dense (in a good way), the preatiest one of the bunch. Chewy and nice flavour. Didn't spread so much as BS.
Cookie 2 (BS)- Least favourite, I could taste the baking soda. It was the browner one, and the one the spreaded more. It had a cakeey texture, a bit dry.
Cookie 3 (BP+BS)- Very ok cookie. Really the child of Cookie 1 and 2, not so dry as 2 but not so chewy as 1. Perfect cookie for Goldilooks maybe.
Cookie 4 (IY)- Now my friends this was THE cookie. It was very heavy and I thought it would be way to rich before tasting it, but no. It was very chewy but with really crunchy edges. It was the one that least spreaded and the whiter one as well. I think I'll have to be fair and say it was the less pretty from the 4, but hey who cares for looks?! I was so happy with this interesting find of mine! Was this the perfect cookie for me? Oh maybe yes... It was for today at least! And I'm sure I'll use instant yeast in cookies again to experiment!
Instant yeast in a cookie? Oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!

The Vampire Diaries Caption Contest 97TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Once again, a hearty thank you is in order to all Vampire Diaries fans and TV Fanatic readers who entered this week's Caption Contest. We nearly got to 100 entries.
In the end, though, one clearly stood out, as user Angela combined a bit of music and pop culture with this intense shot of Elijah upon his return. Unfamiliar with that artist? Look her up and the submission below will make a lot more sense.
Thanks again to all who played and remember to come back and do so every Friday!
I'm collecting these for Christina Perri, she's almost filled her jar up.

Letter Regarding Rapid Status Determination (29 September)
This letter expresses the deep concerns with aspects of the DHA Rapid Status Determination process carried out in the camps. It highlights specific concerns where the DHA had undertaken certain assurances in meetings with civil society and those were not met during the process.
For more detailed reports of the DHA process in the Western Cape, please see the Assessments and Reports section
Letter to Home Affairs Regarding Shootings at Nyanga Refugee Reception Office
This letter expresses concerns raised as a result of a Cape Times article which describes the shooting of rubber bullets at people queuing outside of the Nyanga office. The article highlights the vulnerability of foreign nationals, refugees and asylum seekers living in South Africa. Additionally, it raises concerns regarding the role of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), who appear to have responded to the backlog of unprocessed requests and undocumented
foreign nationals by closing one of their offices. Currently the only office to process these requests is the Nyanga office, which is difficult to travel to, and
a 'xenophobia hot-spot'.
TAC Memorandum to the Department of Home Affairs (17 July 2008)
This letter was sent in order to obtain clarification about the "registration process" started by the Government at Youngsfield on 8 July. It expresses concerns about the process, including the lack of communication of the process to displaced people, allowing people who missed the "registration process" at their site to register, the goals and uses for the registration, the uses of the issued temporary cards and the consequences for those not able to register during the allotted timeframe.

'Prezi'nt Images About Social Studies
Lesson 16 of 19
Objective: SWBAT describe a connection between ideas in an informational text.
- What's Government by Nancy Harris
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: imaging, informational text, main ideas, details, headings, illustrations, captions, diagrams, list, bold words
- Set up the whiteboard
- One iPad to demonstrate with a projector or each student with their own iPad
- 'U.S. Government questions' powerpoint (optional activity-see reflection)
This was a great book to use because it tied into our Social Studies unit. The pictures and informational text features provide lots of information and gave the kids lots of good ideas to put into a Prezi.
Prezi is REALLY easy and super fun to use, but spend some time playing with it before the lesson and see how it focuses on the different bubbles as a presentation. Here are 2 examples (they're only screenshots - they don't move around like real prezis) that I created about Abraham Lincoln and a book that we were reading in about 5 minutes. Creating the presentations works a little different on a laptop than an iPad, so familiarize yourself with the technology that you'll be using - the iPad version is MUCH easier for the kids and has limited options, so I recommend using those, either as a group or individually.
In this lesson, the kids have had some practice creating prezis. Take a look at the last lesson, Prezi'nt the Ideas As You Imagine the Concepts, where they learned how to do this. On the iPads, they are familiar with how to create the Prezis, but still need support organizing. Ultimately, my goal was to help them understand the ideas can be organized and presented in a unique way.
** "Imaging" is the term that my district uses for "visualizing". In order to stay true to the district expectations, I'll continue to use this verbage. Visualizing is a critical skill for 2nd graders because they need to 'go deeper' in the text. By visualizing as they read, they are creating and tweaking images in their minds as they actively read. This kind of 'close reading', forming images using text, verifying and changing those images, and ultimately comparing their images to the author, creates critical readers and deepens comprehension.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- "We have used the imaging strategy a lot with informational text. It helps us to be 'active readers' and organize information so we can understand and remember better."
- "We'll be finding main ideas and details in our text today. Look over the informational text features that I have on the board (heading, illustrations, caption, diagram, list, bold words) Do you remember what they are?" (Take a moment and review what the features are and how they help us.)

Discussion and Examples
Introduce the task
- "I brought this informational text because it has ideas about the Social Studies topic we are discussing. There are LOTS of ideas, so it would really help if you use imagery to organize the information."
- "We'll read through the book first and think about the organization so we can decide what kind of Prezi to use. When we use imaging with informational text, we need to understand the whole process before we visualize. I'll read the whole book - listen for the steps of the process." Here's how I explained why we read the book first.
- Then I read the book to the class and discuss how to organize the ideas. I ask the students what informational text features show the main ideas (headings) and what show the details (diagrams, captions, bold words).
- Open Prezi and log in. Click on 'New prezi' in the top left corner.
- "We'll be describing the Executive Branch of the government. What template would make sense? Look back at the text, - there's a main idea-heading and then a list, bold words, a diagram and captions. I'm going to use the large circle-the main idea surrounded by small circles template-details. I can add extra circle if I need to."
- "I'll pick a circle template from the bottom with 2 text boxes and then put 'Executive Branch' in the middle circle. Let's go back to the text and add a description - 'makes sure the laws are followed'." This is how I modeled creating this part of the Prezi.
- "In the circles around that, I'll add the words in the bold print - I know that bold words let me know those are important words. I can take pictures and add those to the circles."
- "Then I'll type on the frames below - look back at the text - what can I add? 'Cabinet' and I'll take a picture. 'Department' is a word in the diagram so I'll add that. 'Secretary' is also a bold word so I'll add that. Here's the explanation for adding details to Prezi.
Guided Practice
- "Let's work on one together."
- "What Prezi template should we use for 'legislative branch'?" Choose one as a group.
- "What do we type in the middle circle? - Right, legislative branch is the heading so that's the main idea. I'll add a description in the other text box - look back at the text... it says 'makes laws'. "
- "Who can give me some details? What text features show you these details? (diagram, pictures, captions, illustrations) I'll take a picture for each detail."
- "What should I type for the circle? check the text." This was our discussion about this Prezi.
Students' Turn
- "Now it's your turn to create a Prezi that organizes the last branch of government."
- "I'll read the last section again to refresh your memory and then you need to make an organizer. Think about what the main idea is and that the details are."
- Some students needed help choosing an organizer that matched. This is how I prompted them (see reflection also).
- Some of the Prezi organizers had a place for a 'main title'. This is what I told the students about adding a title to the Prezi.
Students work
- Let the students work - help with spelling as necessary, but remind them to go back to the text and check spelling.
- Remind them as needed about details. Prompt as need to help them choose details for a main idea.
- Here's a picture of a student typing.
- Set a time limit and encourage them to stick to the schedule.
As students organize their ideas, they are seeing connections between the concepts in the text. They first have to consider how to organize the ideas (choose a prezi), then they have to find the main idea and identify the details. This examination of connections between ideas in a text and the ability to decribe those connections (RI.2.3) encourages them to delve deeper in the text and examine ideas.
Reflect on your work
- "Let's take a look at some questions to see how well you understand the information now that it's organized." Show the U.S. Government Questions powerpoint. Take ideas- "Did it help to organize the information? Would you have known the answers without organizing them on the Prezi?"
- "Do you think you could use this kind of organization for other subjects?"
- "Who would like to come up and share their Prezis?"
My goal in this discussion about using the prezis or visual organization with other subjects is really to spark a discussion about visually organizing information. The crux of the Common Core is that students interact with the text to better comprehend and this particular standard asks them to connect and organize concepts. Although students at this age are not independent with this skill, it's a great time to start applying it in a variety of ways with a variety of media (electronic and pen/paper). Reflecting on how this visual organization helps them (though discussion or pre/post tests) helps them to see the importance of 'close reading' - reading, thinking, going back to the text to read and verify again, and applying background knowledge to create a way to better understand the text.
Student projects
- Here's a link to one of the student's projects and another link to a different project. Here's a screen shot of a student prezi about Social Studies and a student prezi of the branches of government in case the links don't work (although these don't move like the Prezis on the link).
- I asked for kids to come up and share. Here's a student showing his Prezi and another student showing her Prezi.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with academic challenges may need help spelling words and choosing/remembering details about the topic. You may want to sit with them to create the Prezi while the other students work independently.
Students with higher language may be able to add details that they know about the branches. That would be extra information that they could share.

Blimp-bump, blimp-bump. Beat comes tumbling over beat; ragged breaths defiant beneath the roaring babble--chatter cut to piecemeal by the crowding walls. Sound on sound, noise on noise--broken into discordant bits, buffeting--buffeting as boldly as the crowding elbows.
That was fun.

Postjudgment Negotiations
If negotiations before trial have not led to a settlement and you now find yourself with a judgment, you may still have the opportunity to negotiate. If the judgment is in your favor and the other party appeals, you may consider negotiating a resolution. Although this will require client education, a negotiated resolution that results in immediate payment of part of the judgment may be a better choice for your client than the appeals process.
Some appellate courts, such as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, have settlement programs. A lawyer or judge is assigned to the case to see if the parties can resolve the dispute prior to briefing. More and more appellate courts are instituting a form of case management that includes settlement discussion with the parties. Even if your court does not have such a program, there is no reason why you cannot approach the other party with the possibility of negotiating a resolution. Sometimes proposing something as simple as a structured settlement may lead to a postjudgment resolution. You may also consider requesting a settlement conference from the appellate court.

Florida Court Realizes Its Mistake, Reverses Order For Ripoff Report To Take Down Content
from the good-to-see dept
Thankfully, the judge who made this clearly incorrect ruling was not re-elected, and the case was handed off to another judge who quickly righted the wrong, noting that Ripoff Report was clearly protected by Section 230 of the CDA. Perhaps even more interesting is that Paul Alan Levy, who was preparing an amicus brief for the appeal, was able to get his hands on the original transcripts of the hearing and highlights just how troubling the initial ruling was on a prior restraint basis, in that the order was not based on any findings of the likelihood of success of the original defamation claims:
The transcript of the hearing at which the original TRO against the author was adopted is particularly revealing. The order was not based on any findings of likelihood of success that the author would be found liable on the defamation claims; everybody understood that the only objective was to facilitate an order against XCentric. The author never conceded that she was even negligent in making her statement that Giordano was a convicted felon, not to speak of acting with actual malice as would be required for a judgment of defamation assuming that Giordano is a public figure. Indeed, there was some suggestion that Giordano had told the author that he had previously been in trouble with the law. So, perhaps he was a felon, just not a convicted felon? The author apparently stood by everything else she had said about Giordano; yet the judge ordered XCentric to take the entire statement down because, the judge said, he didn't want to be involved in editing the statement.And this is exactly part of the problem. The judge was in such a rush to shut down the content, no effort was made to determine if there was a true legal basis for removing the content.

Grammy Sh-t vs Diarrhoea: Miley vs Xtina
Sasha posed this question during the liveblog. My answer was that at gunpoint, I'd take Miley. That's the point of sh-t vs Diarrhoea – it's supposed to be hard.
I know Miley doesn't look so tragic here in photos, and you have to remember, the photo agencies generally don't post too many of the bad ones on these occasions, but during the pre-show with Seacrest, she was working a significant bloat. The kind of bloat that settles in when, you know, too much beer or vodka or salvia happens on a Saturday night. There was also a lot of side tit action eating up the camera. Her mother didn't seem to mind. And how choked were Kings of Leon to be paired with her to present? Maybe it's punishment for putting out such a sh-t album. Also…Miley's wearing Cavalli. Of course.
All that however in comparison to Christina Aguilera is relatively minor. We've been through it, over and over, how f-cked up her face appears to be. How f-cked up SHE appears to be. How she's barely recognisable these days. Go look up the video for Genie in a Bottle. That isn't the same person.
And then…
She fell.
I didn't notice it at first as it came at the end of the Aretha Franklin tribute but all of a sudden the emails came flooding in and I had rewind my pvr and there it is…
She fell.
She remembered the words, but she fell.
I'm telling you…
Fried Chicken isn't far off.

Stonington police efforts to make drug arrests criticized
Stonington - A veteran Westerly Police Department detective who lives in Pawcatuck has criticized the Stonington police department's drug enforcement efforts in an email to First Selectman Ed Haberek.
In his March email, Detective Steven Johnson said he has "witnessed multiple hand to hand drug deals, in the open, in Downtown Pawcatuck."
He added that he is aware that on a daily basis, drug deals are being conducted in a local parking lot.
Johnson calls it troubling that the department made minimal drug arrests in 2012, which also appears to have been the case in 2013. In a department annual report, he said the "problem is not even mentioned nor a plan to be pro active and combat it."
"They mention (adding) another Detective to the Cold Case Squad? Are you kidding me? How about a few Detectives working narcotics and possibly teaming with us on the other side of the river," he wrote.
Police Chief J. Darren Stewart said Friday that his department made 11 drug arrests through the first seven months of this year, compared to 13 during the same time period last year.
In addition, because of a change in state law two years ago, possession of small amounts of marijuana are no longer reported as arrests, as they are now infractions under state law.
"The Stonington police department always appreciates information regarding illegal drug activity in Stonington and works diligently to address those concerns, not only through its patrol division but its detectives," said Stewart, who added he saw Johnson's email for the first time on Thursday.
He said his department also works with the Statewide Narcotics Task Force and Westerly police to address quality of life issues that cross the borders of the two towns.
Johnson wrote that the area "is suffering a major heroin epidemic" with the direct result being property crimes, larcenies, shoplifting, financial crimes and more.
"I have small children that are growing up in Pawcatuck and do not want them exposed to this type of wide open drug activity and crime," Johnson wrote. "I am hoping that the Police Administration just failed to mention this so as to not give away their plan. If that is not the case then they need to get their heads out of the sand and open their eyes. I know for a fact the Officers of SPD are aware of the problem but I get the impression it is not a priority of the administration."
While Haberek said he shared Johnson's concerns with Police Chief J. Darren Stewart, Capt. Jerry Desmond and the Board of Police Commissioners, Johnson's email was never listed on any of the agendas for the board's seven meetings since or mentioned in any of the minutes of those meetings. Police-related correspondence is typically listed on the board's agendas.
Contacted Thursday, Johnson declined comment on his email, saying he plans to attend the Board of Police Commissioners' next meeting on Sept. 11.
In his letter to Haberek, Johnson said he was writing as a "taxpayer in the Town of Stonington with a great deal of Law Enforcement history, not in my work capacity."
"I have been doing my best to stay away from criticizing Stonington Police. I obviously know first hand the difficulties that face us in Law Enforcement today," he wrote.

The major feature of this region is its interesting topography which is the horseshoe shaped valley and the whole park area is surrounded by the spurs of the Mekal. By a special statue in 1955, Kanha national park came into being. Since then, a series of stringent conservation programmes for the protection of the parks flora and fauna has given Kanha its deserved reputation for being one of the finest and best administered national parks in Asia, an irresistible attraction for all Wildlife Adventure lovers a true haven for its animal and avian population. Kanha national park has 22 species of mammals. The most easily spotted are TIGER, Indian hare, Indian wild dog, the Stripped Palm Squirrel, Common langur, Jackal, Wild Pig, Chital or Spotless deer, Barasingha or Swamp deer, Sambar and black Buck.
Patient watching should reward the visitor, with a sight of Indian Fox, Sloth bear, striped hyena, Jungle cut, Lepord, Mouse Deer, Chausingha or four horned antelope, Nilgai, Ratel and Porcupine.
If you want to witness more species of Indian wildlife then Kanha National Park will be the best place for you. In 1974 as per governments special scheme Project Tiger lead to the establishment of Kanha Tiger Reserve. You may be amazed to know that hard ground Barasingha are only seen in this national park apart from other wild animals.
Kanhas national park is widely spread over 940 sq km area with amazing natural grandeur , you can witness very mean streams, grasslands till the end and beautiful bamboo forests. You may not know but this is the jungle about which it is mentioned in the Jungle Book as Kipling Country.
We should feel proud as Kanha National Park is also has the reputation of best administered National parks in Asia. The park has been benefitted with many schemes initiated by governments to protect wild animals and to give extra boost to the flora and fauna in the national park. Many tourists come to this national park repeatedly as they feel it very alluring and never get tired of praising the beauty of it.
Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the Indian Wildlife sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh. The national park is situated 197 km north-east of Jabalpur. This wild life park derived its name from an ancient fort in the area. Bandhavgarh National Park belongs to the Vindhyan mountain ranges of central India and it boasts to have the highest density of tiger population in the country. If carefully watched for one can spot 46 to 52 tigers here.
In the Bandhavgarh National Park the visitors can enter on elephant backs apart from the four wheelers. The best time to visit the park to spot wildlife is early in the morning or after 4 pm. The park is closed during monsoon from 1st July to 31st October.
One can enjoy viewing the wildlife by two ways in Bandhavgarh - Jeep Safari and Elephant Safari. Jeep safaris are undertaken during the early morning hours till evening. A forest department guide is always there with the visitors on these jeep trips taken inside the park. Elephant safari trips are organized for tiger tracking early in the morning.
Bandhavgarh National Park is positioned in Madhya Pradesh and stretches along the range of Vindhyan Mountains. This park is noted for the presence of Royal Bengal Tigers and has the maximum density of tiger population in the country.
Remaining the hunting destination for the Maharaja of Rewa, the Bandhavgarh National Park is now the abode of rare species of White Tigers. The White Tigers were originally found in Rewa located near this park and have turned out to be one of the leading objects of interest in various zoos across the globe. The entire territory runs east to west with fragmented hilly ranges scattered with wetlands and forest areas.
This national park is famous for remaining the densest population in terms of per unit of forest area and rated among the top-notch national parks in India. Covering an area of about 448 sq km, the Bandhavgarh national park has 105 sq km of cross area. The Bandhavgarh hills, encircled by slanting valleys, are located at the central point of the park and measures about 811 meters above the sea level. At the end point of these valleys the area is covered with marshy grasslands having a local term called Bohera.
Bandhavgarh National Park is a protected area and serves as a shelter to various species of flora and fauna including gaur (Indian Bison), wild boar, leopard, sloth bear, porcupine, sambhar and spotted deer, in addition to the tiger species.

Hopefully Carroll has a little respect for the Niners D as some of you seem to. But unfortunately he's not stupid.
But back to the point, the 49ers defense beat the Hawks. Not Alex Smith.
Funny that you are so comfortable speaking of something of which you know nothing about.
He isn't here for debate or discourse. So, talking out his ass about a nationally televised game he didn't watch is only natural. Eff him, it's the ignore list for him.
Yeah, I was attempting to give him the benefit of the doubt, but that that civility began to dissipate around post #10. Admitting that he was talking out of his ass was the straw that broke the camels back.

Hello, I've found a new glitch that came in randomly.
When I was designing a new unit, I picked a dragon body, tracks propulsion and two plasma cannons, then I accidentally switched into vengenance body and I was able to put a second turret on the body!
I was playing on skirmish mode against AI's with DyDo's AI modification. I've never encountered this glitch before.
Unfortunately, I couldn't cause that glitch again in the game without any modification, because it came in randomly.
Also, unfortunately, I couldn't get a screenshot of that, because I deleted the model after that.
I can only say that I was able to install a second turret on the vengenance body, at the very end of it, and it looked very weird.
EDIT: I forgot I've made one unit of that after deleting the model, so there it is:

Start from one of the following templates to create your own puzzle.
You can also click the New button on the main Pex for fun page
to load a template.
(Note that you can only create Coding Duels for C# and F#.)
When you click Ask Pex!,
Pex for fun will explore a particular method.
You can indicate the method to explore in one of two ways:
Download the regular desktop version of Pex
to explore any method in your code.
How does Pex choose input values? Pex does not
Instead, Pex generates input values by analyzing the program code.
For every statement in the code, Pex eventually tries to create input values that will reach that statement.
Pex performs a case analysis for every conditional branch in the code—for example, if statements, assertions, and all operations that can throw exceptions.
In other words, the number of input values that Pex generates depends on the number and possible combinations of conditional branches in the code. Pex operates in a feedback loop: it executes the code multiple times and learns about the program's behavior by monitoring the control and data flow.
After each run, Pex does the following:
The code is executed again with the new input values, and the process repeats.
On each run, Pex might discover new code and dig deeper into the implementation.
In this way, Pex explores the behavior of the code.
Visit the Learn area to learn with examples and exercises how it works in detail.
Pex for fun is a simplified version of Pex.
Download the regular desktop version of Pex,
which integrates into Visual Studio,
can explore an entire project at once,
and can automatically generate a comprehensive test suite of traditional unit tests.
Pex for fun is a simplified version of Pex.
One of its limitations is that it only allows you to use certain system libraries
and types you define explicitly in the provided code.
Download the regular desktop version of Pex
to overcome this limitation.
Code Contracts
provide a language-agnostic way to express coding assumptions in .NET programs.
The contracts take the form of preconditions, postconditions, and object invariants.
Contracts act as checked documentation of your external and internal APIs.
Pex uses contracts to find runtime errors, such as cases where postconditions or invariants are not satisfied.
Contracts are expressed by using static method calls at method entries.
Tools take care to interpret these declarative contracts in the right places.
These methods are found in the System.Diagnostics.Contracts namespace,
which is part of .NET 4.0.
Full details are in the
Code Contracts user documentation.
The contracts are checked when running or exploring your code with Pex.
In addition to the runtime checking, a static checker can be invoked by clicking
Ask Code Contracts Verifier, a button that only appears when the program text
contains contracts, and the [ContractVerification(true)] attribute.
If you want to use Contracts in your own project in Visual Studio, you need to download the
Code Contracts tools,
which are not included in .NET 4.0. Read the Code Contracts documentation to learn how to enable them in your project.
Pex for fun comes with a sample puzzle that uses Code Contracts.
When Pex for fun thinks, it is actually solving constraint systems, which is a CPU-intensive task on our servers.
Our servers might be busy at peak times.
Download the regular desktop version of Pex
to overcome this limitation.
Unlike the desktop version of Pex, Pex for fun can only deal with programs that are less than
characters long.
Download the regular desktop version of Pex
to overcome this limitation.
For some inputs, Pex might find that the program runs for a very long time.
This indicates that the program may not terminate.
Pex for fun has built-in time limits that you cannot configure.
Download the regular desktop version of Pex
to overcome this limitation; the regular desktop version allows you to configure all bounds.
Due to an internal limitation, Pex for fun cannot send mail with custom programs.

You can copy and paste the URL to share the puzzle with other people.
To share and discuss your puzzles with other people, you can post them by using their Permalinks on our
MSDN Forums for Pex.
The generated URL itself encodes the language and program text in a compressed form.
As a result, the URLs might be quite long, depending on the size of the program text.
This is normal.
A Coding Duel is an interactive puzzle.
In a Coding Duel, your task is to implement the Puzzle method
to have exactly the same behavior as a secret Puzzle method.
(Coding Duels are different from simple puzzles,
where your task is to simply guess what a given Puzzle method does,
by studying the code of the Puzzle method.)
After you make a change to your implementation of the Puzzle method,
click Ask Pex! to see if your implementation behaves differently from the secret implementation in any way.
You will get feedback about any behavior mismatches.
If there are none, you win the Coding Duel!
You can create a new Coding Duel yourself,
by turning an implementation into the secret implementation.
Visit the Learn area to learn how.
You can turn a Puzzle method into a Coding Duel only if
the method fulfills certain requirements, including the following technical restrictions:
When you win a Coding Duel, a Winning Number will be revealed to you.
The Winning Number always has the format xxx-xxx-xxx.
It is a hash that is derived from the program text of the secret implementation in a Coding Duel.
When you create a new Coding Duel, its Winning Number is shown to you.
When someone wins that Coding Duel later, its Winning Number is revealed to the winner.
While solving a Coding Duel,
you typically click Ask Pex! many times.
If you are signed in, Pex for fun stores the most recent version of your program text for each Coding Duel,
but does not store all intermediate versions.
Every time you click Ask Pex!,
an entry is added to a History section at the very end of the page:
In this way, your browser records all the intermediate steps you go through,
including links to all the intermediate code versions, and how much time elapsed between the events.
This detailed history is accessible only until you close your browser window or tab.

SigFigs are the minifigure representations of Human personalities, their avatars within the BrikVerse so to speak. As with anything BrikWars, their development and evolution as a whole is chaotic and subject the whims of individual players and the needs of their particular stories. Many display powers above and beyond the ken of anything in the BrikVerse, even the powers of some deities, but this is not necessarily a defined feature of all SigFigs. The only truly defining feature outside of being an avatar is that they also represent awesomeness and are of an epic disposition. SigFigs are some of the most important characters in the BrikVerse and their deeds directly shape the narrative and canon of the community.

TaylorMade to release 14-degree SLDR Driver
For as long as I can remember, driver lofts have ranged from about 9 degrees to about 11 degrees. Better players usually fell in the lower end of that range, and some big-hitting tour pros even would go as low as 8 or 8.5 degrees to keep their tee shots from ballooning. Many of the rest of us settled in at the higher end of the range, needing that extra bit of loft to make up for our relative lack of swing speed.
Recently, though, TaylorMade has been exploring drivers with higher lofts, and has announced that it will produce a version of its new SLDR driver with 14 degrees of loft. I've never seen a driver with that much loft – heck, most 3-woods I've seen have about 15 degrees of loft.
''We have been chasing a driver that delivers high launch and low spin, a coveted combination off the tee sought after by all golfers,'' says TaylorMade Golf Chief Technical Officer Benoit Vincent. ''Having made significant industry strides with innovation advancements like movable weight, larger faces, adjustable shafts and improved aerodynamics, we are confident that we have cracked yet another code to more distance. And it's through loft.''
GOLF BUZZ: TaylorMade unveils SLDR driver with many adjustability options
TaylorMade's SLDR driver, launched in August, features a low and forward center of gravity placement, making it the lowest spinning driver in company history. Because of its construction, TaylorMade says, it is encouraging golfers – including PGA Tour players – to ''loft up.'' And in fact, the company says, several tour pros have raised their SLDR driver loft by a degree or more over their prvious drivers.
''Everything we thought we knew about engineering drivers has been turned on its head,'' says Vincent. ''I have never been more convinced that building a driver with low and forward CG is the future in metalwood construction.''
TaylorMade's engineers have calculated that 17 degrees of launch and 1700 rpm of spin create the perfect combination for maximizing driver distance. The new 14-degree SLDR driver, they say, is another step closer to achieving the optimal ball flight.
TaylorMade hasn't yet announced a retail date or a price for the 14-degree SLDR, but the company says it is working to produce enough 14-degree heads to release in the coming months.

I thought I remembered a thread on jam-making, but now can't find it. So, a new thread to ask my jam questions.
We went to a u-pick area last weekend, and it's truly amazing how much fruit two enthusiastic children can pick in about fifteen minutes. So, I set out to make jam, a first for me. How hard could it be, right? I got a box of Sure-Jell and some jars and lids. Much success - really, it isn't hard. My only complaint was that I found the jam (strawberry with 1 cup of boysenberries subbed in) too sweet for my tastes. So, now enthusiastic about jam-making, still in possession of my mother's giant pot and steamer insert, and still with several flats of fruit to use, I got a box of the low-sugar Sure-Jell and made a peach-strawberry jam. Also much success. (just did the low sugar recipe; no artificial sweeteners, perish the thought).
My question is about these stern warnings about following the recipe *exactly*, even cautioning you to level the cups of sugar with a flat edge. Really? Really? Wouldn't one batch of strawberries to the next vary enough in natural sugars, natural pectin, and natural acids that some variation in the added sugar would be okay? Isn't that the point of using the Sure-Jell, so it surely jells? I'm not talking about arbitrarily halving the sugar or anything, but surely some variation can be accomplished without throwing off the chemistry that badly, right?
Now, I know the answer to that already, because I did tweak their recipes and still got jam. Am I just being cocky because I had success? With the peach strawberry, I was going for color (they were white peaches), and just did my best to guesstimate on sugar adjustments with subbing in one cup of mashed strawberries instead of one cup of mashed peaches (the sugar to fruit ratios were different for 100% peach vs. 100% strawberry, plus peach added lemon juice).
I guess my questions are: despite their warnings, how forgiving is making jam with Sure-Jell? Did I just get lucky? Are there any sort of guidelines to follow on how much a jam recipe can be tweaked?

I used this recipe with with excellent results. Heavenly strawberry flavor. I made a mango jam with the same recipe.
I added some citrus peels during the cooking process(to get some natural pectin). I didn't want to used any packaged pectin stuff. It has a ton of sugar, but I only spread a tiny bit on my homemade toast.
Gotta Flee Em All
despite their warnings, how forgiving is making jam with Sure-Jell? Did I just get lucky? Are there any sort of guidelines to follow on how much a jam recipe can be tweaked?
Despite the natural variation you mentioned, the volume of sugar in the Sure Jell overwhelms the variation. In my experience, you need to be pretty tight when you follow their recipes. That said, the risk is that your jam won't jell and you will either end up with a syrup or just need to reboil with a bit more sugar.
Freezer jams are more foregiving and less sweet, but they don't have the same shelf life.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

It is not clear to me why this would provide enough pectin for the jam to jell. Also, natural and powdered pectin are identical in their requirements for added sugar, I would think.
Regarding sterilization: I just run my jars through the dishwasher and use new lids. When I pour in the boiling jam, I invert the jars. All that boiling acidic liquid finishes the sterilization. No need to boil the jars for a fruit jam.
Regarding batches: never double a batch. Make the proscribed batch size as is and make multiple batches if you have a lot of fruit. LArger batches are less likely to jell and more likely to have fruit unevenly distributed in the juices.
Home Away From Home
Ok, Anne here so some help with jammin. I have made hundreds of mason jars of jam of all kinds over the yers, my basement is full of them. In my opinion, toss the pectin, sure-jell additive junk, you don't need it. You need one recipee book only, Blue Ball cooking book, comes in most stores that sell canning supplies. Basically, you tkae your fruit, toss in sugar, the longer you cook, the more thick the jam will be when it cools. For jam you want to cook till the hot jam in the pot just hardly oozes off the spoon. You can also stick some on a plate and place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to cool to see what it will end up like. You do need to add sugar but I find you can cut back some, you ust may have to cook longer. I hate the sure-jell idea becasue you take you nice fresh fruit picked from the garden and then add the additive to it that you don't need. Oh well, that is my advice.
"Anyone can do it in ideal conditions"- A quote from a true NE CN runner and friend.
A Saucy Wench
get pomona pectin. That stuff jells every time no matter how much sugar you add or dont add.
I have variety in my results with sure-jell. My jam from this weekend was surejell and it is a bit on the runny side.
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
can you re-can jam ?
I have and will have a bunch of different jams canned in pints and I was thinking of making a sampler variety pack in the cute 4 oz jars for Xmas gifts and stuff if I could just fill with jam and water bath process for 5-10 min.

It's finished! My little "Cheri" quilt was hand quilted by Bellwether last year but was left unbound until last weekend. Having hand quilted quilts - no matter how small - hanging around in that unbound state makes one feel a little guilty. And not in the guilty pleasure sort of way. So, finally, I cleaned out the sewing machine area and bound all 50" or so of this little cutie. I love this design Cheri provided for free and I copied shamelessly right down to her idea to sneak in some rogue colors. That mistake in the center left? Cheri did put a deliberate one in hers but mine was definitely not a deliberate error. It's a legitimate goof-up.
I've mentioned it before that the way I get back on the sewing/quilting horse is to pull out my tiniest scraps and make one of these little - very little - quilts. Again, this one was already finished but was just a top. When cleaning out my sewing area for the other quilt's binding I unearthed some scraps of batting and backing so I put this guy together and quilted and bound it. It took an NFL football game to finish. I did lay out and sew another one and it's basted and ready for me to do more quilting.
Since I finished two entire "quilts" I decided it was new project time. Cheri Payne's design style is so inspiring and she provides some free patterns on her blog from time to time (I also bought plenty of her patterns, too). This little 4-patch was posted in June 2011. Cheri did hers with a black background and scrappy 4-patches. When I saw it I immediately thought "red and green!" It's an easy quilt with easy directions but making those little 1-1/2" 4-patches is kind of time consuming. But it's so fun to dig around in the scrap box and fabric stash.
I bought that green fabric when looking for greens that were not "poison green" at Little Quilts a couple of months ago. Hmm, that pattern sure looked familiar. It seems that when I find a good thing I keep going back for more. I bought the blue when I wanted to do a blue and brown quilt for my son but it just wasn't right with the brown. Then I saw a basket pattern by Linda Sawrey at Temecula and was thrilled I had many yards of that blue. The brown was a trial run for my Lemoyne stars but didn't work for that. It will, however, be going into another project. The red is a lovely cherry red - not too orange - and the green, well that works so well in red and green quilts. These are nice subtle but not boring prints and the colors are fantastic. They are from the "Tavern" lines (Tavern Blues, Tavern Reds - get the picture?) by Paula Barnes for Marcus Fabrics.
That's it for now but I am still doing some sewing and should be back for more quilt chatter soon.

When I first read about the Williamsburg piano bar and restaurant, Manhattan Inn, I had visions of men and women in formal wear, perhaps waltzing across a vast dining room. The restaurant itself tells a different story. Although it's dominated by a white piano under a large skylight, the floors, the tables and chairs are made from rough, cozy wood. And instead of being overly fussy, the food is more along the lines of upscale bar food.
Although listed under the Small Plates portion of the menu, the Mac n Cheese ($8) is big enough for an entrée, or for two people to share. Made with white cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, there's a pleasing spiciness to the sauce (though the pepper jack overwhelms the flavor of the cheddar). The crisp breadcrumbs on top make a nice contrast with the creamy interior, which is dotted with little strips of orange Amarillo peppers.
Deviled Eggs ($6) are a pretty straightforward interpretation of the classic. The filling has a slight bite from mustard and tiny bits of minced shallot. The only complaint (other than lack of originality) is that the eggs are served ice cold.
Brussels sprouts ($7) are similarly straightforward; halved and roasted until brown and crisp. They benefit greatly from a dunk in the spicy sauce left over from the Mac n Cheese.
I was quite taken with the pizzetta ($9). The crisp flatbread is spread with goat cheese, topped with mushrooms and caramelized onions, and baked until browned. Then it's topped with shavings of parmesan cheese. The combination of ingredients is fantastic: slightly sweet, slightly salty, nutty from the parmesan and rich from the goat cheese.
There are two vegetarian entrées at Manhattan Inn, spinach ravioli ($14) and grilled cheese ($9). The grilled cheese uses the same blend as the Mac n Cheese, but here the cheddar has more of an opportunity to shine. The spiciness of the pepper jack is offset by the barely detectable sweetness of paper-thin apple slices, and the mustard served alongside is extremely piquant. This sandwich is a great delivery system for that mustard.
As we finished our meal a piano-upright bass jazz combo began playing. The dining room, previously empty, began to fill up. I began to see Manhattan Inn the way it was meant to be seen: a romantic destination with good (if overpriced) food and great atmosphere. Vegetarians can safely bring a date there, and be spoiled for choice.

Teva CEO calls it quits
One day after he dismissed rumors of a dispute over cost-saving initiatives and layoffs between him and Teva's chariman as "baseless," CEO Jeremy Levin announced he will step down from the drugmaker.
During a conference call with analysts, the chairman said that "the differences were over nuances rather than disagreement about the strategy itself. It just got to the point where the slight differences couldn't be resolved and we thought it was better to part ways," reported Bloomberg.
David Moris of BMO Capital Markets called the firm a "very dysfunctional organization" on the same call.
Levin had spent less than 18 months at Teva after joining the company from Bristol-Myers Squibb.

With the thin, pointed end facing away from you, cut a pocket into the thick end of the breast.
Serves 4
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, about 8 ounces each, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped (about ¼ cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
4 large, thin slices baked deli ham (about 2½ ounces)
1½ ounces cream cheese, cut into 4 stick-shaped portions
7 tablespoons chunky mango chutney
1/3 cup dry vermouth
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
In a large bowl, mix ' cup salt, the sugar, and 6 cups water, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Submerge the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Rinse the chicken under running water and dry well. Lay a breast on a work surface, with the thick end toward you. Using a knife with a long, thin blade, cut a pocket about 2 inches wide and 3 inches deep into the thick end. Take care not to cut through the top, bottom, sides, or thin end. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil until shimmering. Add the shallot and ¼ teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1½ minutes. Add the garlic and half the parsley and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds; cool the mixture completely.
With the rack in the center position, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Add 2 teaspoons oil to a shallow dish such as a pie plate. Lay the ham slices on a work surface and place 1 piece of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon chutney, and a quarter of the shallot mixture in the center of each slice. Roll up the ham slices, folding so no filling is exposed, into a rough tube shape. Holding each tube to keep it closed, roll it in oil and work it into the pocket in the chicken breast; fasten the open end with 1 or 2 toothpicks. Sprinkle the filled chicken breasts with pepper.
In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until bottom is browned, about 3 minutes; turn and cook until the second side is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until chicken (the meat, not the stuffing) registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 18 minutes. Remove the chicken to a platter, tent loosely with foil, and set aside.
Taking great care with the scorching-hot skillet, place it over medium-high heat, add the vermouth and bring to a strong simmer; with a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of pan to loosen and dissolve the fond, about 15 seconds. Simmer vigorously, stirring, until liquid is reduced by about a third, about 1½ minutes. Add any accumulated chicken juices and the remaining 3 tablespoons chutney and cook, stirring, about 40 seconds longer. Adjust the heat to low, add the lemon juice and butter, and stir to incorporate it into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with pepper to taste. Add half of the remaining parsley and stir to mix. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the remaining parsley, and serve at once.
Follow the directions for the Cream Cheese and Chutney-Stuffed Chicken Breasts, making the following changes:
1) In a small bowl, mix 2 finely chopped large dried figs (about 3 tablespoons chopped) and 2 teaspoons amontillado sherry and set aside, stirring occasionally, until figs absorb most of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
2) Along with the garlic, add 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary and the moistened figs to the shallot mixture.
3) For the filling, substitute Gorgonzola for the cream cheese and omit the chutney.
4) In the sauce, substitute amontillado sherry for the vermouth and 2 teaspoons honey for the chutney.
Follow the directions for the Cream Cheese and Chutney-Stuffed Chicken Breasts, making the following changes:
1) Substitute 3 tablespoons very finely chopped red bell pepper for the shallot, increase the quantity of garlic to 3 cloves, and along with the garlic add 3 tablespoons finely chopped pitted green olives to the red pepper mixture. Substitute chopped fresh basil for the parsley, adding 3 tablespoons of it to the filling and 1 tablespoon to the sauce.
2) Omit the chutney in the filling.
3) For the sauce, use dry white wine in place of vermouth and 2 teaspoons honey for the chutney, and reduce the lemon juice to ½ teaspoon.

Man pleads guilty in suburban burglary spree
An Orchard Park man suspected of a dozen burglaries in Amherst and two dozen more in Clarence, Cheektowaga and other Erie County towns pleaded guilty Monday in State Supreme Court to eight burglaries.
Alfred Tatman, 26, admitted providing the car that he and his two alleged accomplices used for the eight burglaries. Targets were small local businesses, including a car wash, floral shop, salon, and a couple of bakeries, last November and December.
As part of his plea deal, Tatman agreed to cooperate with the Erie County District Attorney's Office, which is building cases against the two others suspected in the burglaries, Kevin Zimmerman, 23, and his brother, Jeffrey Zimmerman, 29. Tatan's cooperation includes testifying in court against the Zimmermans.
"They went into the buildings, and I waited in the car," Tatman said during his plea hearing before State Supreme Court Justice Penny M. Wolfgang.
"I knew what they were doing," he told the judge.
Tatman pleaded guilty to eight counts of third-degree burglary.
"The wave of burglaries started last October and police called the spree one of the most intense they have seen in such a short time.
The three would take the stolen money "and buy heroin for themselves," said Assistant District Attorney Paul E. Bonanno.
Nelson S. Torre, Tatman's defense lawyer, said Tatman has already cooperated with authorities.
Each burglary count carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years, so sentencing possibilities range from probation to 56 years in prison.
Wolfgang has not committed to a sentence, but she indicated some of the sentences for the individual burglary counts would be served at the same time.
Tatman, who listed his address as Big Tree Road, Orchard Park, remains in custody without bail.
An important break in the case came when Amherst Police Officer Julian Chinana noticed a suspicious vehicle near Di Camillo Bakery on Main Street in Williamsville as he was responding to another early-morning call.
Chinana noted the vehicle's license plate, and when police later learned the bakery had been burglarized, Chinana gave the license number to investigators.
That led investigators to Tatman, who confessed, Bonanno said.
And Tatman led investigators to the Zimmermans.

text: DMA's Email Evolution attendees debate list-building, engagement and metrics By Christopher Hosford. Published on February 19, 2013. What makes for more effective email list-building—traditional online registration techniques or Facebook Connect, the set of APIs that enables users to log onto a corporate website via their Facebook identities? A spirited debate sought to answer that question at the Direct Marketing Association's Email Evolution Conference in Miami Beach Feb. 7-8. For Jai Williams, senior marketing strategist at StrongMail Systems, accessing the sign-in data from Facebook Connect offers plenty of advantages. "With its single sign-in capability using existing credentials, Facebook Connect saves time and is easily accessible to users," Williams said, during a session titled "Segmentation Strategies Across Channels." "And it creates an avenue for increased user interactivity yielding actionable, rich data." But panelist Dave Hendricks, COO at digital display ad company LiveIntent Inc., countered that these benefits not only aren't superior to traditional means of assembling opted-in subscriber lists but in fact present drawbacks for marketers. "Acquiring email users isn't simple, and you work hard to create and position registration forms," Hendricks said. "But Facebook users are not subscribers, and they're also subject to Facebook's terms of service—which can change at any time." Hendricks cautioned marketers that "low friction" in building contact lists means "low investment and low ownership by you. If you decide to quit Facebook Connect, you can't take anything but the most basic data with you. But if you get registration sign-ups, you own them and can keep them," he said. Email engagement fostered another lively difference of opinions, in particular around what metrics adequately signal recipient responsiveness to messages. "Because things have gotten more complex with segmentation, we don't think classic email metrics such as delivers, opens and clicks are worth anything," said Tim Watson, founder of email marketing consultancy Zettasphere, in a session titled, "What Is Engagement Anyway?" "With these, you can't tell how many customers engage or how many you didn't engage with because you didn't have the chance," he said. Watson urged marketers to focus on "open reach," a measure of the proportion of the email database that has opened at least one message over a period of time, and which he said provides a better indication of recipient behavior than traditional campaign metrics. Panelist Dela Quist, CEO of email marketing company AlchemyWorx, urged marketers to also take into account unsubscribes, a metric that can help make databases more efficient and provide a key test of campaign effectiveness. However panelist Kath Pay, principal at email consultancy Plan to Engage, urged a broader view of email measurement. "We need to look at multiple metrics," Pay said. "Some may be campaign-based, such as what kinds of content is clicked on and downloaded, or those who are opening, clicking and taking you up on offers." According to Luanne Calvert, VP-marketing and communications at Virgin America, the airline carrier pursues another pathway to email engagement, striving for "emotional connections" with recipients. "In talking about the flying experience, we have an emotional message, which is comfort, joy and entertainment—not points," said Calvert, in her presentation titled "Monitoring the Digital Heart." Calvert said Virgin America's email campaigns reuse banner ad images promoting time-sensitive price offerings; promote and extend earned media, such as publicity resulting from a recent award from Travel+Leisure; and highlight the carrier's partners, such as particular destinations, hotels or American Express Co. "Our email campaigns will focus even more on business travelers and retention this year, featuring in-flight Wi-Fi and our frequent-flier program," Calvert said. The company's email outreach to this segment includes lifestyle elements because "business travel often is a hybrid experience which contains a leisure component," she said. Attendees also grappled with the vagaries of sending email to different platforms, specifically whether recipients are checking email on desktop or laptop computers, versus smartphones and tablets. Hendricks said LiveIntent research indicated that users of the iPad tablet skew slightly older than 45 and click less often, while users of smartphones are younger with higher click rates. "It's totally appropriate to segment email content by device," Hendricks said. "They have different performance characteristics." But Nate Romance, senior director-strategic services at ExactTarget, suggested that tablet users do not reveal appreciably distinct email characteristics than users of other devices. "Tablets users are a lean-back, sedentary audience; I'm looking at my tablet while I'm doing something else," Romance said. "But tablets also have characteristics similar to webmail and phones in some areas, depending on the context, so it's not unique." Most Popular In this article: BtoB
