The Vampire Diaries Season Finale Pic: Diving Dobrev!Matt Richenthal at . Comments
How did Elena survive the car accident that took the lives of her parents on The Vampire Diaries?
We know that Stefan came to his future girlfriend's rescue, and now we may have an idea of exactly how he saved Elena from drowning: by providing her with Scuba equipment.
Maybe? Possibly? The CW has released the following photo from "The Departed," which depicts Elena underwater, but also shows another diver in the background. It seems hard to believe this is the scene of the fatal crash, although it has been confirmed we'll flashback to that event on the finale.
Why else would Elena be geared up underwater? Is this some kind of dream sequence?
TVD fans will need to wait until May 10 for the actual answer, but they can drop in to the Comments section below or visit our Vampire Diaries forum now to theorize away!

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine when a person consumes gluten-containing food.
Gluten, a term we hear about every day, is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. When an individual who is prone to celiac disease ingests gluten, the body mounts an immune response directed at the small intestine.
The result is inflammation and injury to the villi extremely tiny, finger-like projections in the lining of the small intestine that increase the surface area and promote absorption of nutrients. The damage to villi affects nutrient absorption and leads to a multitude of symptoms.
Who Develops Celiac Disease?
It seems like we can't go to any restaurant or supermarket without seeing or hearing the term "gluten-free." The phrase is synonymous now with healthy eating. But who really needs to go gluten-free? It's those who have been diagnosed with celiac disease.
Celiac disease has been reported in children of all ethnicities, though the disease is relatively more common in those with Caucasian roots. It is believed about a third of the Caucasian population have genes that increase susceptibility to celiac disease. However, only 3 percent of those actually develop the condition.
An estimated 1 out of 100 people have celiac disease in the U.S. To develop the condition, one needs to have the genetic susceptibility, exposure to gluten and variations in the immune system that are controlled by other secondary susceptibility genes. In other words, it has to be the "perfect storm" scenario.
Celiac disease also has a hereditary component, which puts children who have first-degree relatives, such as parents or siblings, with celiac disease at higher risk for developing the disease.

Used by the dataSource to indicate that a new position update is available.
Enables position broadcasting.
Disables position broadcasting.
Class Method Summary
|Class Methods
Returns the NMAPositioningManager singleton instance
Class Details
Manages positioning services for the NMA SDK.
This is a singleton class and thus should never be retained, released, or instantiated. The singleton instance is accessed via the sharedPositioningManager method.
Use the startPositioning method to begin tracking position, and stopPositioning to stop. By default, position data comes from an instance of NMADevicePositionSource, which uses CLLocationManager to determine position. Any custom source of position data can be used instead by subclassing NMAPositionDataSource and installing an instance of the subclass in the NMAPositioningManager dataSource property.
Two types of position are available from the positioning manager: the raw position and the map-matched position. The raw position is simply passed straight through from the positioning manager's data source. The map-matched position is the estimated position on the road network based on the raw position input. When either type of position changes, a NMAPositioningManagerDidUpdatePositionNotification will be sent out. If the raw position is lost, a NMAPositioningManagerDidLosePositionNotification is sent.
Certain other SDK features may require the use of the positioning manager; if these features are accessed, the positioning manager will be enabled automatically (for example, the NMAPositionIndicator of a NMAMapView).
NMAPositioningManager requires valid authentication credentials to be set via NMAApplicationContext. If valid credentials are not present the API may not function correctly or may stop functioning correctly in the future when server side configurations change.
Public Property Details
[readable, assign]
BOOL active
Indicates whether the NMAPositioningManager is currently broadcasting position updates.
[readable, assign]
NMAGeoPosition * currentPosition
The best estimate for the user's current position.
The currentPosition will be equal to either the rawPosition or the mapMatchedPosition, depending on availability, SDK usage, and circumstances.
If SDK services such as navigation which require the use of map matching are active, the currentPosition will typically be the map-matched position.
Will be nil if the positioning manager is not active or does not have a valid position.
[readable, writable, assign]
id< NMAPositionDataSource > dataSource
The current provider of raw position data for the positioning manager.
If positioning is started with a nil dataSource, a default instance of NMADevicePositionSource is created and installed. This instance can then be accessed and configured using the dataSource property. Similarly, if the dataSource is set to nil while positioning is active, a default position source is installed.
It is NOT recommended to change data source whilst the app is backgrounded as some attributes of the data source (such as enabling background updates) may not be reliably configurable in the background.
[readable, writable, assign]
NMAPositionLogType logType
Configures position update logging.
NMAPositionLogTypeDataSource will log "input positions" from the current NMAPositionDataSource to a file ending with the suffix "_ios_source". This GPX file is suitable for playback via NMALoggedPositionSource. In addition, if the current NMAPositionDataSource supports source specific logging then an additional GPX log will be written. For example, NMADevicePositionSource will log detailed CLLocationManager state information to a file ending with the suffix "_ios_cl".
NMAPositionLogTypeCurrent, NMAPositionLogTypeRaw, and NMAPositionLogTypeMatched will log the results of processing the input position from the data source. The content of these logs represents the historical values of the rawPosition, mapMatchedPosition, and currentPosition properties. GPX logs produced for these logging types are for analysis only and are not suitable for playback via NMALoggedPositionSource.
GPX logs will be written to the Documents directory of the application. Logs will be prefixed with a timestamp representing the time logging was enabled and suffix indicating the log type (see NMAPositionLogType).
To ensure log files are flushed to disk make sure logging is disabled prior to application exit.
Defaults to NMAPositionLogTypeNone (no logging).
IMPORTANT: Logging should NOT be permanently enabled in production builds submitted to the App Store.
[readable, writable, assign]
NMAMapMatchMode mapMatchMode
The mode in which raw position data is matched to the road network.
If the mode is NMAMapMatchModeCar, the raw position data will only be matched to roads which are accessible by a car. If the mode is NMAMapMatchModePedestrian, the data will only be matched to roads or paths which are accessible on foot.
Attempts to set NMAMapMatchModePedestrian will be ignored when the position data source is derived from NMAPositionDataSourceAutomotive as this position source type does not support pedestrian map matching.
See also:
[readable, assign]
NMAGeoPosition * mapMatchedPosition
The best esimated position on the road network based on the current rawPosition.
When a new raw position is received and map matching is enabled, the position is processed to estimate where on the road network the user is likely to be. If the user is in a car on a known road, this position is likely to be more accurate than the raw position. Map matching can be disabled by setting the mapMatchingEnabled property to NO.
Will be nil if map matching could not be performed, or if mapMatchingEnabled is set to NO.
[readable, writable, assign]
BOOL mapMatchingEnabled
Controls whether or not map matching is performed.
The Map Matching is not enabled if access to this operation is denied. Contact your HERE representative for more information.
The default value is NO.
[readable, writable, assign]
BOOL probeCollectionEnabled
Enables probe data collection.
If enabled, the SDK will start sending anonymous location information when current user's speed is above certain value. Calculation of speed is based on location data.
This data is used to help improve the accuracy of traffic information provided through the SDK.
By default this property is disabled.
Probe data collection cannot be enabled if access to this operation is denied. Contact your HERE representative for more information.
[readable, assign]
NMAGeoPosition * rawPosition
The latest unprocessed position received from the current dataSource.
Will be nil if the latest update from the current dataSource did not return a valid position.
Instance Method Details
-(nullable NMARoadElement *) currentRoadElement
Get the road element of the current position. Nil if not valid.
Road element of the current position.
-(void) dataSourceDidUpdatePosition:(nonnull id< NMAPositionDataSource >) dataSource
Used by the dataSource to indicate that a new position update is available.
When the current dataSource has a new position update ready, it calls this method passing itself as the parameter. Only one position source may be active at a time, so the parameter should match the current dataSource. Objects other than the current dataSource should not call this method.
-(nonnull instancetype) init
Instances of this class should not be initialized directly
-(BOOL) startPositioning
Enables position broadcasting.
When positioning is started, the current dataSource will receive a start callback. If no dataSource is set, a default instance of NMADevicePositionSource is created and installed as the source.
YES if positioning was successfully started, NO if positioning was already in progress or if positioning failed to start.
See also:
-(void) stopPositioning
Disables position broadcasting.
When positioning is stopped, the current dataSource will receive a stop callback.
See also:
Class Method Details
+(nonnull instancetype) new
Instances of this class should not be initialized directly
Returns the NMAPositioningManager singleton instance.
Use this method to obtain a NMAPositioningManager instance. Do not call init directly.

Welcome to Outposts' world of outdoor educational activities, residential camps and team-building for schools and young people's groups from all over the UK. As holders of the 'Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge' Outposts specialise in experiential learning programmes which give schools and groups the opportunity to develop and practice essential life skills such as team-work, communication, problem-solving and leadership. Come and visit us here in Somerset or we can come to you for school-based training.
My son, Jack, went to South Africa with your company in 2014. He had a wonderful experience and came back with a more mature outlook on life, and fantastic memories. I felt I must write and tell you what longlasting benefits his trip has had for him. He wrote about it on his CV and got offers from all five universities that he applied to. However, it was particularly beneficial recently , when he applied for a Year in Industry as part of his Mechanical Engineering degree. During his interviews he enthused about his experiences in South Africa, particularly about taking part in constructing a greenhouse for a local school. All the interviewers were extremely impressed, and I am sure this contributed to his being offered a placement for a large company next year. I thought you would be pleased to know the longlasting benefits we have found from lettiing Jack go on this trip, and I would recommend it to any young person who is contemplating going. It really has been lifechanging!
Best wishes
"Just wanted to drop you an email to say a massive thank you for giving Ibby the opportunity to experience the beauty of the people, the animals, the flora and fauna that S Africa offers.
Thanks especially to Steve and Sarah for being such wonderful expedition leaders. This expedition is an experience of life that Ibby will always remember the trip and will relish the friendships and memories she has made.
Would highly recommend Outposts to any student considering travelling.
Once again thanks and keep up the excellent work."
"A great day out for the newly arrived students - I am sure many new friendships have been made - down to the fact that the students have to communicate and listen to one another."
Taunton School
"Outposts delivered an excellent programme that was tailored made for our Year 12 induction programme. It provided the perfect opportunity for new and current pupils to bond over well thought out tasks, such many of them falling off milk crates into 'shark infested water', dropping 'explosive' devices and the abandonment of team mates in 'acid filled lakes'."
Clayesmore School
"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and your team at Outposts for providing such an amazing trip to Nepal for Aled. He had a fabulous time (he didn't want to come home) and hasn't stopped talking about it since – and his plans for returning one day!
Mick and Megan were obviously excellent leaders and the Nepalese guides and chef were brilliant.
We have found the whole organisation and professionalism from all of you at Outposts, from the initial presentation at Chilton right up until the end of the expedition, so easy to deal with and gave us great confidence as Aled headed off on this trip of a lifetime. We won't hesitate in recommending Outposts to others and sincerely hope that our younger son will approach you in a couple of years with the same desire to visit Nepal!
Jo Sams - Parent Nepal 2016
"Outposts were fantastic from start to finish. Their admin team were very efficient at sorting us out in the preparation phase and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left they were nothing but helpful and supportive. The bush camp and general facilities at Lydeard Farm were well constructed and made camping with school aged children both safe and enjoyable. The programme was delivered by instructors who were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and good at working with young people. All our pupils got loads out of the experience."
"A huge thank you for all of your team's efforts on our residential. The boys had an absolutely fantastic time and the staff did too. The level of personal attention we got from all levels of your company was first rate and I felt that there was nothing we couldn't ask of you. It is getting increasingly rare to work with a company that goes the extra mile and provides such a well organised and enjoyable trip.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to my colleagues or teacher friends and I hope to be able to run another trip with you soon."
Wetherby School
"We loved everything, but particularly the airplane exercise in the afternoon- it sent them into meltdown which was a useful experience for them to learn under pressure. A secondary benefit was that it was amusing for staff to watch. We'll be asking Michael to come back again next year as it was so excellent. Many thanks again."
St Margaret's, Bushey
"The children had some fantastic experiences in their week at Outposts and developed a range of key skills including resilience, teamwork and perseverance. The experienced instructors were superb and the children were allowed to have fun whilst learning a great deal about themselves and pushing their boundaries in an unfamiliar but safe environment. All of the children returned home tired, inspired and grateful for the adventure."
Garden House School
"Just a short note to say very many thanks to you and your colleagues for the amazing time Sophie had on her Nepal expedition. She thoroughly enjoyed every moment and only wishes that the trip could have been longer. It's clearly been a fabulous experience for her, making memories that will last a lifetime and enthusing Sophie with an appetite for travel and adventure."
Adele Parsons - Parent Nepal 2016
"Outposts provided an excellent programme of events that were perfectly tailored to our students needs. The staff were brilliant – enthusiastic and motivating to the students. The facilities are great and provide a new experience for the students. Highly recommendable organisation."
Head of Year 7 - Uffculme School
"The children all look forward to their day of activities, love the whole set-up, great instructors and always feel they want to stay longer. By the end of the day, even children who have tended to be 'loners' are part of the team and listening skills improve hugely."
The Elms
"An amazing set of challenging and varied set of activities run by qualified, supportive and very experienced instructors. Every student came home with a grin and a list of fears they had overcome."
St. Catherine's Bramley
"Outpost are an incredibly professional organisation who we have been working with for many years. They guided me in planning a Year 7 camping trip where the girls had a fantastic time in a safe environment, led by knowledgeable instructors.
Report from the girls which sums up how brilliant the Outpost team are:
The U3s spent half of their week camping in Lasham Woods. When we arrived we started by building our own shelters out of sticks, string and Tarp. We completed a number of exciting activities. Some of our favourite activities included; making fires, baking pizza, wall climbing, high ropes, using knives and axes to carve wood, arts and crafts and water fights, how to grasp nettles without getting stung, making beads out of willow, making dream catchers, making sun dials and a particular favourite was eating wood-sorral and nettle petals.
They were led by a team of instructors who have a world of experience and stories to share. In the evenings they would all congregate in the giant tent, around the fire. We sang, listened to tales and performed various talents. We had a great time and would like to thank all of the staff involved.
It was a fantastic trip and I would highly recommend using Outpost for school trips."
"What a fantastic few days we have had at Outposts! This was our first ever residential with Year 4 and the setting, activities and staff at Outposts was ideal and fit for purpose. All the planning and flexibility(and patience!) shown by the staff at Outposts has meant that we have been able to fulfill all our objectives for the trip and our children are now set up for residentials for the rest of their time at St Peter's. All the activities were pitched perfectly for our age group and the food and camping were first class. Thank you Outposts for a memorable trip. We will be back!"
St. Peter's School
"Thank you for a very well-tailored provision which provided much stimulating food for thought and a really focused consideration of leadership skills to an audience not used to exploring this area explicitly. The range of tasks was excellent, the place a delight, the weather behaved and the girls really appreciated the incisive good sense and humour with which it was all delivered."

Canada Lifts Ban on Yehudah and Shomron Wines
by Zachary Kerman/TPS
Canada has lifted a ban on selling wines from Yehudah and Shomron marked as made in Israel, just two days after putting it in place.
On Thursday, July 13, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said it had lifted a directive that wine products classified as a "Product of Israel" would be deemed unauthorized for sale as long as their production originated from the West Bank. In the wake of the July 11 directive, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario's (LCBO) instructed vendors to take products from the Psagot and Shiloh wineries off their shelves.
The CFIA stated on its website that it "regrets the outcome of the wine labeling assessment which led to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario's (LCBO) response regarding products from two wineries labeled as "Product of Israel." In our assessment, we did not fully consider the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA)."
"Further clarification of the CIFTA (Article 1.4.1b) indicates that these wines adhere to the Agreement and therefore we can confirm that the products in question can be sold as currently labeled. The CFIA will be following up with the LCBO to correct our original response."
B'nai Brith Canada, which originally revealed the LBO letter, commended the Canadian government for its quick rescinding of the ban.
"We thank the Government of Canada for responding so quickly to the legitimate concerns of the Jewish community and all concerned Canadians," said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B'nai Brith Canada. "We will continue to make inquiries about the origin of this travesty, to ensure that nothing like ever happens again. B'nai Brith will always relentlessly advocate for our community."
Mostyn said that since calling on Canadians from coast to coast to purchase Israeli wines in opposition to the ban, B'nai Brith has been "simply overwhelmed by positive responses from members of the community. In celebration of the CFIA's apology for its disturbing decision, we ask all Canadians, in every province and territory, to head to your local liquor retailer and order products from the Shiloh and Psagot Wineries. These Israeli wine producers especially deserve all of our support at this time."
On a visit to the Psagot winery on Sunday morning, Minister of Economy Eli Cohen (Kulanu) told Tazpit Press Service (TPS) boycotts harm no one other than the Palestinians.
"If you want to see coexistence in action then I invite you to the industrial areas here in Sha'ar Binyamin, in Mishor Adumin, in Barkan and elsewhere [in Yehudah and Shomron] to see coexistence in action. I would like to thank our Canadian friends who understood the importance of working for coexistence," Cohen said.

My favourite breakfast recipe hands down.
These gluten free vegan waffles are as light as a feather, free from oil, dairy, egg and gluten but best of all, absolutely delicious. Just as important, they are so simple I can make them in my sleep. Literally measure the whole lot into a blender + whizz away. I'm sure there's a more technical way of preparing waffles, but why would you when these are tasty, fluffy and so simple that you really can get away with waffles for breakfast whenever you want!
I've played around with the flours a lot and have settled on sorghum and millet for the taste more than anything. Oat and almond flour are also pretty good. Adding the coconut flour gives a great consistency and a hint of sweetness too, but as it makes the batter thicker please add more of the sorghum or gram flours if you are omitting. I find that once the batter sits for 5-10 minutes it thickens a little. Depending on which coconut flour/flours you use, be sure to adjust the liquid accordingly to get the right pancake consistency. I haven't sweetened the batter as I usually don't find it necessary as I like to smother in date syrup but if you'd prefer a sweeter waffle then add liquid sweetener of choice or some regular cane sugar.
Gluten Free Vegan Waffles
(makes 10 waffles)
1/2 cup gram flour
1 cup sorghum flour (millet works well too)
2 tablespoons coconut flour (or add more sorghum or gram)
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 banana
2 – 21/2 cups dairy free milk
- Add the ingredients to a blender + whizz until smooth. Adjust liquid/flour until pancake consistency is reached.
- Heat + grease your waffle iron + cook waffles as per your maker's instructions. Mine typically takes 6 minutes per batch.

This Monday officially kicks of my two week vacation. This break is so ridiculously needed and I am so grateful to say I have little planned.
My husband and I are both school district employees and fortunate enough to have the same vacations. Generally, during our breaks, we have a plane ticket ready, a camping trip booked or our backpacks set to hike. I thrive on the adventure and the opportunity to explore.
However, we both agreed that this break, we truly needed to relax, renew and EXHALE.
I am reveling in the knowledge that I have very little planned. I am sure there will be a day or two of hiking, some camping, some day tripping….or not. The freedom of these next two weeks is deeeeeeelish.
I am looking forward to HOURS on my couch with my hello kitty blanket, a massive cup of tea and entertained by books, blogs or Netflix.
I absolutely LOVED this song when it came out and I can relate so well, even today. I am in need of having "Just One of Dem Days" multiple times in a row. I promise nothing is wrong, but I need to just be. I do not want to talk, solve problems, plan or be productive.
I think a lot of our sisters hour there can relate to this song. I want to hear from you! Tell me, what helps when you are having just one of dem days?

If awards season wasn't in high gear before, it sure as heck is now.
Coming hard on the heels of Monday's Golden Globe nomination announcement, the Screen Actors Guild this morning (Dec. 16) announced the field of nominees for their 17th annual Screen Actors Guild awards.
Most of the favorites in the Globes annoucements make repeat appearances on SAG's list of its favorites of the year -- Colin Firth is nominated for "The King's Speech," as are Annette Bening for "The Kids Are All Right" and Natalie Portman for "Black Swan."
Also like the Globes annoucement, the SAG nominees are marked by a glaring dearth of nominations for locally produced TV and film projects.
Perhaps most notable, however, is that unlike the Globes, the SAG nominations actually include nods to the performances in the Coen brothers' "True Grit," their remake of the Western classic which opens Wednesday (Dec. 22).
Here's the complete list of SAG nominees, as announced Monday morning. The 17th annual SAG Awards will be handed out Jan. 11, in a ceremony to be telecast on TNT and TBS:

Actress: Annette Bening, "The Kids Are All Right"; Nicole Kidman, "Rabbit Hole"; Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone"; Natalie Portman, "Black Swan"; Hilary Swank, "Conviction."
Supporting actor: Christian Bale, "The Fighter"; John Hawkes, "Winter's Bone"; Jeremy Renner, "The Town"; Mark Ruffalo, "The Kids Are All Right"; Geoffrey Rush, "The King's Speech."
Supporting actress: Amy Adams, "The Fighter"; Helena Bonham Carter, "The King's Speech"; Mila Kunis, "Black Swan"; Melissa Leo, "The Fighter"; Hailee Steinfeld, "True Grit."
Cast: "Black Swan," ''The Fighter," ''The Kids Are All Right," ''The King's Speech," ''The Social Network."
Stunt ensemble: "Green Zone," ''Inception," ''Robin Hood."
Actor in a movie or miniseries: John Goodman, "You Don't Know Jack"; Al Pacino, "You Don't Know Jack"; Dennis Quaid, "The Special Relationship"; Edgar Ramirez, "Carlos"; Patrick Stewart, "MacBeth."
Actress in a movie or miniseries: Claire Danes, "Temple Grandin"; Catherine O'Hara, "Temple Grandin"; Julia Ormond, "Temple Grandin"; Winona Ryder, "When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story"; Susan Sarandon, "You Don't Know Jack."
Actor in a drama series: Steve Buscemi, "Boardwalk Empire"; Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad"; Michael C. Hall, "Dexter"; Jon Hamm, "Mad Men"; Hugh Laurie, "House."
Actress in a drama series: Glenn Close, "Damages"; Mariska Hargitay, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"; Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife"; Elisabeth Moss, "Mad Men"; Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer."
Actor in a comedy series: Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"; Ty Burrell, "Modern Family"; Steve Carell, "The Office"; Chris Colfer, "Glee"; Ed O'Neill, "Modern Family."
Actress in a comedy series: Edie Falco, "Nurse Jackie"; Tina Fey, "30 Rock"; Jane Lynch, "Glee"; Sofia Vergara, "Modern Family"; Betty White, "Hot in Cleveland."

I recently had the opportunity to serve as a volunteer for Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. I traveled with my wife up to Brainerd to discuss the Precious Waters film with the Brainerd Lakes Audubon Society.
Despite the temperature being -10 degrees and the night windy, 40 people from all over central Minnesota turned out for the film. A good turnout on such a cold night attests to two things: one, Minnesotans are a tough bunch; two, our lakes, rivers, and streams are very important to us.
As we opened discussion after the film, I thought to myself: "this is exactly what needs to be happening around this issue." With so much at stake, we need to let our neighbors — and especially our legislators — know how we feel. So many different organizations have shown Precious Waters in the last few years, but ultimately everyone's concern is the same: the lakes and rivers of the BWCA and northern Minnesota are what make this state special.
When the safety assurances of industry seem like wishful thinking and lack historical precedent, we have serious doubts about whether these projects should proceed.
Every time I talk with Minnesotans about wilderness conservation, I feel a deep sense of gratitude, but also a sense of responsibility. I am proud to live in a state where so many people have made it their responsibility to take care of our beautiful and wild places. Volunteering on this issue has deepened my connection with my fellow citizens, and to the land itself.
I felt honored to be speaking up on behalf of our lake country, and on behalf of such a great organization. Let's make all of our voices heard so the next generation can enjoy the treasure we have today.
Request a Precious Waters DVD and resource packet and organize a showing of this documentary with your group, friends or other organization.

+1 to a request for Jakarta-Math-Discuss list. I'd like to be Apache-Math-Discuss, but that might cause issues, cf the Python mail list request a while back. Why I like this: It is not tied to the commons-math code, but to the community that the commons-math code wants to join. I expect [math] to be using it for math discussion with commons-dev for Java related dev issues (such as maven, site etc) and releases. Average Java joes would still come to commons-user for [math] questions, so commons-math would have to be covering that too. I said +1 in that I'm prepared to go onto infrastructure and ask for this etc, get the PMC to ask for it or whatever.

Vancouver has a reputation for fresh, West Coast cuisine and daring fusion dishes. But with so many great restaurants, how do you find the hidden gems?
That's where Off the Eaten Track comes in. The unique tours focus on hunting down some of the city's most popular, off-the-radar eateries – the secret spots only locals seem to know about. For visitors, it's a unique chance to plug directly into the latest crazes in Vancouver's edgy dining scene.
Few city neighborhoods have more formidable foodie credentials than historic Main Street, setting for Off the Eaten Track's new Main Street Restaurant and Cocktail Tour ($65). Once an ethnic enclave home to Chinese immigrants, the area has been colonized in recent years by young families, hipsters and local tastemakers. The result is some of the trendiest restaurants, boutiques and antique shops in the city.
The unique walking tour takes visitors on a progressive dinner, stopping in at five up-and-coming restaurants. Whet your appetite at a Euro-inspired cafe, where you'll be treated to a home-baked appetizer and glass of wine. Then it's on to an authentic, Roman-style pizzeria for thin-crust pies eaten with knife and fork. Save room for a funky supper lounge offering the best of fresh Pacific Northwest seafood. Finish things off with an umbrella drink inside Vancouver's newest tiki bar and a sinfully sweet artisan dessert.
For more information on unique dining tours, check out Off the Eaten Track's website.

The most dedicated and obsessive Justin Bieber fans dream of meeting their idol in the flesh.
But we're pretty certain planning in detail to murder and castrate the popstar – and sell his tiny testicles at $2,500 a pop – is taking it way too far.
You might remember the almost unbelievable story from last November where Dana Martin – who is currently serving 978 years in prison on charges for murder and rape – had allegedly recruited another man to carry out the chilling attack on Bieber and his bodyguard.
Martin was reportedly obsessed with Bieber and had the 18-year-old's face tattooed on his leg. It's worth noting we're not sure how this type of music goes down in the slammer.
In a phone call obtained by KOAT 7 News in Albuquerque, Martin contacted Tanner Ruane from inside Las Cruces prison.
Ruane is the nephew of former inmate Mark Staake, who Martin had also allegedly roped into the bizarre murder plan following his release last year.
In the clips released by KOAT, Martin tells Ruane: "[Mark's] going to kill the pit bulls and you're going to castrate them."
Police have reportedly said "pit bulls" was the code word for Bieber and his bodyguard, according to TMZ.
In the chilling call, Ruane references the "hedge clippers" that were intended to carry out the twisted attack.
The two men then discuss the value of each of Bieber's testicles and agree a sum of "five large" for the pair.
Martin continued to explain his signature murder method of using a paisley tie to suffocate his victims: "Tie it really, really tight. Knot it in the front once, really tight, put it in a knot.
"That cuts off the oxygen, and then tie it in the back again, really tight. That seals the deal."
It was reported at the time that the murders were planned to take place when Bieber was performing in Madison Square Garden, New York.
Ruane and Staake were arrested by police before any harm could be done to Bieber.
It's claimed that New York police found murder tools and pruning shears when they arrested Ruane, while his accomplice Staake was arrested on outstanding warrants in Vermont.
Bizarrely, the report explains how the man with the chilling plan - Martin — confessed everything to officials and gave up the pair who were allegedly going to carry out his orders.
A police document states: "When Mr Martin asked what Mr Staake had bought to castrate the victims, Mr Ruane stated that he had bought a pair of hand-held hedge clippers.
"In response to Mr Staake's reluctance to follow through with the castrations, Mr Ruane stated he was going to do it and get 'five large for each one I get'. Mr Martin confirmed that Mr Ruane was going to get $2,500 per testicle.
''Mr Martin suggested hiding them somewhere, such as the engine compartment, so as to avoid detection should they get pulled over.''
The court papers continue: "When asked to explain why Victim 3 [Bieber] was to be killed, Mr Martin stated that Victim 3 has a measure of fame and that he had become infatuated with Victim 3.
"Mr Martin stated he had attempted to solicit correspondence on numerous occasions and that Victim 3 never returned in kind.
"This perceived slight made Mr Martin upset and, coupled with Mr Martin's perception of being a 'nobody' in prison, led him to begin plotting the kidnap and murder."
At the time, a spokesperson for Justin Bieber told Mirror Online: "We take every precaution to protect and insure the safety of Justin and his fans."

Ben 10 Kart Race 2
You might think that all a hero does is fighting some bad guys, but the truth is that they also know how to relax and enjoy their time. After all, what they does is hard stuff and would a put a toll on their body in the long run. It is important to enjoy every little time you have with your family since they are always there and nothing can replace them. When all things said and done all that you can rely is yourself and your family. A race is a fun race that would keep your bonding even tighter than before. In this game, you won't use the Omnitrix and none of those alien transforming powers. The idea here is to get to the finish line as fast as possible, but that won't be easy since there are obstacles along the way that would slow you down. And since, this is a competition, other racers would fire some beam that would stop you for a few second. Of you can fire some beam back at them to do the same. The game would become harder and more challenging as you make some progress. Think you can beat the other racers?

Everything you need to understand or teach The Last Song of Sirit Byar by Peter S. Beagle.
A time-worn woman, about forty-seven years old, big, strong, and, by her own account, ugly, sets herself down at a scribe's table and asks him to write down for her the true account of the death of Sirit Byar, a legendary minstrel who had died thirty years before. The story is told in her own dialect, her earthy commentary creating a distinctive tone that captures the sounds and customs of lands and people who are already being lost in the passage of time.
The Last Song of Sirit Byar provides a journey into a rich, full world in the company of a woman who, in spite of her quarrelsome asides, is an engaging guide.

East-end Montreal in the mid-1920s. A popular restaurant is razed by an arsonist. Seventy-five people perish in the inferno. While strolling with his wheelchair-ridden father, a man furtively salvages a charred icon from the ruins. He is Remouald Tremblay, a self-effacing bank clerk whose pocket holds a treasured rabbit's foot and whose memory contains an unspeakable hell.
Originally published in 1994 as L'Immaculee conception, this is the novel that established Gaetan Soucy as a powerful new literary force in Quebec. In it, he echoes the writing of Edgar Allan Poe and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Immaculate Conception was shortlisted for the Giller Prize in 2006.

Introduction: Methanol is a clear, colorless, and highly toxic liquid which is a common component of antifreeze solutions, paints, varnishes, gasoline mixtures, and various solvents. Even though methanol is used only in industry, when ingested accidentally or for suicide it may cause methanol intoxication which has high mortality rates. Methanol intoxication is generally seen after accidental or suicidal oral intake. Methanol can be absorbed by inhalation or through the skin, which rarely leads to clinical toxicity.
Case Report: Herein, we present a case of methanol intoxication associated with absorption through the skin which is one of the rare ways of poisoning. We aim to emphasize that methanol intoxication rarely occurs after dermal exposure.
Conclusion: Emergency department physicians must consider methanol intoxication in patients of high anion gap metabolic acidosis with visual symptoms even if the patient has no history of oral intake.

ATHENS, Ga. - From five-star prospect to five exposed gaffes.
Touted Georgia freshman right tackle John Theus had a Southeastern Conference debut to remember, and one to learn from as well. The 6-foot-6, 309-pounder from Jacksonville committed three false-start penalties and was beaten on two sacks during last Saturday night's 41-20 win at Missouri.
"Obviously I had some stuff that I messed up on," Theus said. "I gave it all I had. That's all I can ask for, and as for the mistakes I made, I'm going to go back and fix them."
Theus was a top-five national tackle prospect according to ESPN, Rivals.com and Scout.com, and he had the luxury of easing into college football against the Buffalo Bulls. His second test was very different, as the Bulldogs traveled to face an SEC newcomer at night in its 71,004-seat venue.
Making matters even more challenging was matching up against Missouri defensive end Brad Madison, a returning starter and a fifth-year senior.
"That was his first experience in that kind of crowd noise, and obviously it got to him some," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "They also were stemming late and moving late. He jumped quite a few times along with our freshman backs, so he has to get used to that kind of thing. Sometimes when it's loud and you don't have the verbal cadence of the quarterback that you can hear, you don't get off the snap as fast.
"If you are late off the ball, you are going to get beat, and that's what was happening to him. A veteran was working on a rookie, and he learned a lot."
Madison blew past Theus to sack Aaron Murray and halt Georgia's opening possession of the game, and Theus had a false start on the second drive to turn a third-and-7 into a third-and-12 the Bulldogs could not convert. On Georgia's first play of the second quarter, Murray was intercepted after being pressured by Madison.
"Throughout the whole game we were just telling him to keep his head up and that everybody makes mistakes," left tackle Kenarious Gates said. "When you make mistakes you've got to move on, and he's done pretty good. He knows we've got his back and that we've got to work together."
The second half didn't start much better for Theus, who committed two false starts and yielded another sack in Georgia's first two possessions, but the Bulldogs then went on a 32-3 run to close the game.
"Obviously everyone wants to look at the false starts and things like that, but I think he grew a lot this last game," Murray said. "I told him after the game that I was proud of him and that he fought through a lot in that first half. It's nerve-racking for anyone to go into an away stadium, much less a true freshman.
"A couple of times he seemed frustrated, but I walked up to him and told him to relax and just play ball. I had confidence in him and knew he was going to do his job, and he went out there and did it."
Theus continues to receive treatment on his left ankle, which he sprained against Buffalo, and is back at home this week when the No. 7 Bulldogs host Florida Atlantic. He believes last week was a good learning opportunity and that he's a long way from being a good player, but the Bulldogs aren't alone in being impressed by what he has done in two games.
"I can feel for him, because at the end of that game we had two redshirt freshmen and a true freshman starting for us," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "When you put young players in that environment it can really be hard, but I think he's a good, young player. Overall he did a good job, and he'll get better and better.
"If you're positive with young players and they have a good attitude, they will get a lot better, and I think he has a great future."

Butter PR Inc. Agency of Record
Butter Public Relations Inc. Named as Agency of Record for The Gladstone Hotel
Toronto's Harbingers of Hospitality Sear Up Stories for the Queen West Hub of Cultural Creativity
TORONTO, January 14 2014 – Butter Public Relations Inc. is excited to announce its newest client: The Gladstone Hotel. Adding to the company's already impressive roster – including All-Clad Metalcrafters, Pusateri's Fine Foods, Just-Eat.ca, Delicious Food Show, and WineOnline.ca, to name a few – The Gladstone Hotel is the agency's first boutique hotel client.
The Toronto-based PR firm has concocted many a food-focused initiative for the cultural hub of Queen West. Ready and raring to highlight everything from the stunning dishes in the hotel's spectacular café restaurant by Chef Mario Paz, to the intricacies of the hotel's rotating room designs and special designer features, to upcoming partnerships that'll excite any gourmand and so much more, Butter PR secured the account based on the companies' mutual love of all things food, hospitality and culture, and Butter's proven track record of success navigating the robust and impressive Canadian food and media industries.
Butter PR's experience in all things food (eating likely our strongest suit) and hospitality (may we freshen your drink?) will set the foundations for a partnership that will re-introduce Toronto to the cutting-edge and wholly diverse Gladstone Hotel brand. It's a pairing more satisfying than a California Cab and Tomahawk Steak, and we like to think that match is pretty darn close to perfection. Wouldn't you agree…?
About The Gladstone Hotel
Since relaunching in 2005 under the ownership of Christina Zeidler as the gloriously renovated and restored Queen West totem, The Gladstone Hotel has enlivened the cultural landscape of Toronto via its arts, music, design, food, drink, and event programming. It is a culturally-imperative institution in Toronto's West End, and will remain a beacon of the city's historic past even as it lays the framework for its future. From its stunning artist-designed boutique hotel rooms to its fantastic culinary program helmed by Chef Mario Paz, The Gladstone Hotel is, and will always remain, the cultural consort of Toronto's hospitality scene.

Display Cabinet from Jim A. and Don J.
Posted byon
These photos were submitted to us by Elliot Green, who wanted to share his friend and father-in law's work. The project features our BC-263 ball catch and CB-301 butt hinge.
"My father-in-law Jim Allen and his good friend Don Jacobus have been fine woodworkers for years. Jim's daughter Karen has a collection of Argentine mate cups. These cups are hollowed out gourds. They are decorated with interesting carvings, and they are used as tea cups. To drink your tea from a mate cup, one uses a "bombilla". A bombilla is a combination straw and strainer. Tea floats freely in the water and you drink your tea using the straw/strainer.
Jim and Don made a display cabinet and stand to house her collection. It is as much a piece of art as the cups. The cabinet is made of birds-eye and curley maple, with ebony door pulls. The stand is cherry. The perfect hardware for this project was Brusso door catches and hinges."

Iceland is the hottest national team in Europe after a great performance at the Euro 2016. But they won't appear in EA Sports' FIFA 17 video game due to disagreement on the use and rights of the images from the players and team.
According to Reuters, the Football Association of Iceland was offered $15,000 by EA Sports after the stint at the European Championships but the soccer national organization seemed disappointed during the negotiations.
"They were under pressure and maybe they would need more time to discuss these things but it's about fair and open negotiations, about respect and how you deal with us," Geir Thorteinsson, the Icelandic FA president, stated in the article.
"I feel very badly treated by this hugely profitable company."
ALSO READ: Mourinho laments lack of creativity
Iceland got more fans after they beat England in the recent Euro championships and made the quarterfinal rounds. This was the first appearance for Iceland in the knockout stage in the history of their country.
Some players from the team are reportedly pissed with their FA's decision not to be included in FIFA 17 with some saying it would have been an opportunity to be part of a popular product so more fans can know about their team.

FIFA 17 will be released globally on September 27, 2016. But it would be without the Iceland soccer national team because of alleged greed from its country's officials.

Video: Man lunges at woman who calls him 'smelly Nigerian' on Tube
The moment a teen lunges at a woman after she apparently calls him a "smelly Nigerian" on the Tube has been caught on camera.
Another passenger starts filming the scene after the pair start arguing, following an accusation from the woman that the man trod on her shoe.
The argument becomes more and more heated, with expletive-ridden exchanges taking place between them.
At the beginning of the footage the woman can be heard saying: "I wouldn't f***ing touch you. You are f***ing s*** on my shoe", and adds that her boyfriend is black in a possible attempt to show she is not being racist.
The man replies with a racist comment of his own, saying: "OK white princess, queen, Kate Middleton!"
They throw insults at each other, and at one point she says: "b******s like you will steal from me" and calls him a "smelly f***ing Nigerian."
As the train pulls into Moorgate, the argument reaches a climax, with the man lunging at the woman after claiming she "hit me on the head with a bottle".
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman told the Daily Mail: "There is an allegation of abusive behaviour by the woman towards the man, but that doesn't justify a violent response.
"The man and woman pictured in the images are seen arguing with each other on the video and we're keen to speak to both of them to get their version of events."
The news follows a number of 'racist' incidents occurring on the London Underground; back in November 2013, a Tube passenger was fined £210 for spitting on a Polish man in an apparent racist outburst.
And back in May 2012, a woman who became infamous on the internet after her racist Tube rant was posted on YouTube was jailed for 21 weeks.
Jacqueline Woodhouse was sentenced to the jail term after admitting racially aggravated intentional harassment at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Toni Morrison's book Beloved recently sparked a curriculum controversy in Virgina. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens.)
Last week The Washington Post reported on a school board vote in Fairfax County, Virginia, over whether to consider removing a book from the curriculum. A mother named Laura Murphy told of how her son encountered Beloved, by Toni Morrison, in his senior high school English class. "It was disgusting and gross," he said. "It was hard for me to handle. I gave up on it." It was only one mother complaining, but that was enough: Soon, a vote was slated to consider whether to review the book's inclusion in the curriculum. Complaints were fielded about plots points involving bestiality and gang rape—and the novel's dramatic apex, when the escaped slave murders her 2-year-old daughter rather than allow her to be recaptured. Uncomfortable, yes, but the director of the American Library Association said discomfort was the whole point: "It's a painful part of the African-American history in parts of this country. A lot of parents understandable want to protect their children from that…. However, we strongly advise people to read the book as a whole before they make their judgment." The English department at the boy's school chimed in with an eloquent public letter ("reading and studying books that expose us, imaginatively and safely, to that trouble steels our souls to pull us through out own hard time and leads us to a greater empathy for the plight of our fellow human beings"). The mom, meanwhile, assured the world she was "not some crazy book burner," just someone concerned that "new policies be adopted to give parents more control over what their children read in the classrooms."
It was all so very familiar to me, given the research I've been doing on conservatism in the 1970s, when these controversies were a constant. They unspooled themselves again and again into the 1980s and '90s, and, obviously, beyond. Sometimes I really do feel like actors in history—hell, why else do we call them "actors"?—read their lines from a script.
The classic 1970s textbook fight unfolded in Kanawha County, West Virginia, in 1974. It was long, intense, riveting, and violent, and I won't summarize it here (listen to this outstanding West Virginia Public Radio special to learn more) other than to note some common, structuring tropes.

- Page 1 Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H/12
- Page 2 Features and Picture Quality
- Page 3 Performance and Verdict
- Page 4 Feature Table
As you'd expect from such a connections array, the set's multimedia talents are extensive, including playback of a multitude of video, photo and music file formats from USB stick or networked PC, and access to Philips' online Net TV service.
We've covered Net TV in depth in previous Philips reviews and our recent feature focusing on the different TV online services, so all we'll say here is that its highlight is a built-in Opera browser that lets you surf the Web at large rather than restricting you to Philips' ring-fenced content.
We also won't trouble you by going into detail about the set's extremely powerful Perfect Pixel HD video processing engine, as again, we've covered this extensively before. Suffice it to say that it's arguably the only picture processing engine in the mainstream TV world that might be expected to comfortably handle the challenges associated with optimising non-21:9 sources for a 21:9-shaped screen.
What we certainly do want to talk about, though, is the 58PFL9955H's 3D readiness. In fact, unlike other 3D Philips sets, this one actually has the transmitter built into the TV's body. Plus you get two pairs of active shutter glasses thrown in for free, compared with just one with some other manufacturers. Note that there's no 2D to 3D conversion, though.
Also important to mention in the features section is the lighting technology driving the screen. For not only does it use a direct LED illumination array with contrast-boosting local dimming, but it also adds around a third more individually controllable LED clusters than the 224 found in the brand's outstanding PFL9705 models.
With so much going on in the features department with the 58PFL9955H, it's rather surprising that it doesn't have a built-in Freeview HD tuner. But there you go. You'll just have to stick with the Sky HD or Virgin box you've probably got anyway if you're considering spending £4k on a TV.
Fed a trusty 2.35:1-ratio favourite, Casino Royale on Blu-ray, the 58PFL9955H immediately generates an almost visceral response from all who behold it. And by visceral, we actually mean jaw-dropping and eye-popping!
For a start, there's just something wonderfully right about the 21:9 shape when applied to a TV. Its extra width chimes more naturally with the way our eyes perceive the world, and so it feels both more relaxing than a normal 16:9 picture and, more importantly, more immersive.
It's also superb not to have black bars above and below the Casino Royale picture. We've watched this Blu-ray dozens times, but we've never felt so completely engaged by it as we were on the 58PFL9955H – a fact we're convinced not having the black bars is at least partly responsible for.
Once you've got past the sheer wonderment of seeing films bar-free and stretched so wide in your living room, it also hits you that the quality of the images on show is pretty extraordinary. As with the PFL9705H range, for instance, the 58PFL9955H's black level response is ridiculously good, comfortably outgunning all other LCD TVs we can think of, and even pushing the best plasma TVs hard.
What's even more amazing about the58PFL9955H's truly profound black levels is that they can co-exist in the same frame as emphatically bright and intense peak whites and rich colours. The local dimming aspect of the LED lighting array means the set doesn't have to reduce overall brightness levels when showing dark material, and there really is no over-stressing just how strong an effect this has on the image's general dynamism – and the believability and watchability of dark scenes in particular.

EditPad Lite is free for personal use. Business and government users can purchase a license.
EditPad Lite has a lot of functionality that makes editing text files more convenient for you.

EditPad Lite can edit text in any script supported by Windows, including right-to-left scripts such as Hebrew and Arabic and complex scripts such as the Indic scripts.

If you need to type in some special characters not available on your keyboard, you can use EditPad Lite's character map to quickly insert them by double-clicking on them. Easily insert special symbols like the trademark or copyright symbol into your documents, or enter letters from a foreign script that your keyboard does not support. If you save your files as Unicode files, you can use any character known to humanity.
EditPad Lite edits all text files. Open text files saved on Linux, UNIX and Macintosh computers, or even text files from old DOS PCs or IBM mainframes. EditPad Lite preserves the file's compatibility with those systems, unless you explicitly convert it.

EditPad Lite handles DOS/Windows, UNIX/Linux and Macintosh line breaks.

With EditPad Lite you can easily open and edit many text files at the same time. There's no limit. Many of EditPad Lite's editing commands can work on all open files at once. Quickly switch between files by clicking on their tabs. Move back and forth with the handy "previous editing position" and "previously edited file" commands.
EditPad Lite sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features of any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file you want to edit. Highlight matches, fold lines, and skip over matches and files. Instantly make many replacements throughout a (rectangular) selection, file, project, or all files in all projects. Use regular expressions and adaptive case options for powerful and dynamic search terms and replacements. Clever use of EditPad Lite's search-and-replace can automate much tedious editing.
EditPad Lite's Clip Collection makes it easy to keep a list of text snippets at your fingertips, ready to be inserted into the file's you're editing. Such a snippet can be a word, phrase, three paragraphs, half a book, or anything you want. Clips can consist of "before" and "after" parts to be inserted around a selection.
Don't worry about saving files with EditPad Lite extensive auto-save and backup options. Choose how many backup copies you want to keep and/or for how long. The File History shows you the backup copies for the current file. You can easily open and compare backups, as well as save specific milestone copies. EditPad Lite's unlimited undo and redo even allows you to undo changes after saving them.
EditPad Lite will highlight URLs (web site addresses) and email addresses in your text files. You can easily open the web site by double-clicking the URL in EditPad Lite. Of course, you can always turn this option off.
EditPad Lite normally does not include a spell checker. EditPad Pro does include a spell checker. The purchased version of EditPad Lite, however, includes EditPad Pro's spell checker as a bonus feature. Word lists are available in many languages. You can tell EditPad Lite to point out misspelled words in the current file, current project, all open files, or just the selected text.
