Midway Atoll: Message From the Gyre
Midway Atoll, as its name implies, lies about halfway between Asia and North America, smack in the middle of the largest ocean on Earth. Surrounded by water for thousands of miles on all sides, it's about as remote as a place can get.
But even Midway's isolation hasn't saved it from the impacts of human consumption oceans away. Seabirds are dying by the thousands, killed by chunks of plastic they mistake for food.
-Chris Jordan
Midway is in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area twice the size of Texas where floating plastic trash collects in a circular current called the North Pacific Gyre. The plastic floats ashore and is easily mistaken for food by birds flying over the water looking to feed their young.
Photographer Chris Jordan shows what happens when plastic bits are collected and consumed by birds: tens of thousands of Midway albatross die every year due to starvation, toxicity, and choking. The plastic remains long after the animals decompose, leaving behind a startling visual testament to the far-reaching effects of pollution.
Photographer Chris Jordan's latest project left him feeling grief and hopelessness. Now he wants more people to discover how productive those emotions can be.

Q: How can I emulate keyboard events in an application?
- There are two API functions that you can use:
Before emulating a keystroke we must make sure that:
- The window we want to send the keystroke must be in focus and active.
- That we have the virtual key code for the key we want to generate.
The keys 'A-Z' and the keys '0-9' have a virtual key code that is the same as their ASCII code. For example, in order to generate the letter A we need to use the 'A' (or 65) as the virtual key code.
Look here for a complete list of virtual key codes.
- Which of the two API functions should I use?
The 'keybd_event()' function has been superseded by 'SendInput()' on Window NT/2000/XP. Thus, on these operating systems you should use 'SendInput()' (unless you need to provide backward compatibility with Windows 98 etc.). This FAQ is based on 'SendInput()'.
- Can I see some example on how to use 'SendInput()'?
Code:void GenerateKey ( int vk , BOOL bExtended) { KEYBDINPUT kb={0}; INPUT Input={0}; // generate down if ( bExtended ) kb.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY; kb.wVk = vk; Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD; Input.ki = kb; ::SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(Input)); // generate up ::ZeroMemory(&kb,sizeof(KEYBDINPUT)); ::ZeroMemory(&Input,sizeof(INPUT)); kb.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP; if ( bExtended ) kb.dwFlags |= KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY; kb.wVk = vk; Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD; Input.ki = kb; ::SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(Input)); }
- How to use the function?
Suppose we want to generate 'a' key and then 'A' key:
Code:GenerateKey ('A', FALSE); GenerateKey (VK_CAPITAL, TRUE); GenerateKey ('A', FALSE);
The output will be 'aA' (in case the 'CapsLock' initial state is on, the output will be 'Aa').
- In case 'CapsLock' is pressed the letter that will be generated will be uppercase ('A')
- The generated letter also depends on the input locale of thread that will receive the key.
Thanks to cilu for helping writing this FAQ.

* New OM-D E-M1 model may signal exit from SLRs
* Mirrorless sector fails popularity test outside Japan
* Company hopes model will help imaging division break even
By Sophie Knight
TOKYO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - To stem the red ink on its loss-making camera division, Olympus Corp has decided to rely on a format that so far has been a flop outside of its home turf in Japan.
The company on Tuesday released the "OM-D E-M1", a mirrorless model Olympus says is the first of its kind to compete on quality with traditional single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
Olympus is now hoping the E-M1, priced for the pro market at 145,000 yen ($1,500) for the body alone, will help it boost mirrorless and SLR sales by 24 percent to 7.3 million units to allow its camera business to finally break even for the first time in four years.
The new model is the successor to Olympus's E-5, its last flagship SLR released in 2010. Executives are saying there are no current plans to develop more SLRs and the new camera likely signals the company's exit from a market that is dominated by Canon Inc and Nikon Corp.
The E-M1 illustrates Olympus's dedication to the mirrorless format, heralded at its inception as a happy marriage between the size of a compact camera and the picture quality of an SLR. But the format has so far failed to connect with consumers outside of Japan, with most seeing it as an awkward compromise.
Most consumers prefer smartphones for taking snaps when weight is an issue and opt for pricier SLRs when quality is a priority.
Research company IDC originally projected the mirrorless segment to grow 31 percent in 2013 and to more than triple by 2017. But dramatically poor sales earlier this year prompted the company to change its forecast to a 1.2 percent drop this year and expansion of just 24 percent by 2017.
Olympus admits that its overseas marketing has been lacking so far.
"This is the kind of product that we have to carefully explain to individual consumers. It's not just a point-and-shoot that you can leave out on the shop floor and it sells by itself," Olympus President Hiroyuki Sasa said at the product launch in Tokyo.
Tech bloggers who had been invited to test-drive the E-M1 in advance were effusive about the camera on Tuesday, praising its retro design, image quality and compatibility with all Olympus lenses, a first for the company's mirrorless models.
But some criticised the camera's sluggish autofocus, a fault that has plagued mirrorless models and disqualified it for sports photography, thus barring it from a chunk of the pro market that Olympus is attempting to capture.
Last year, the company's camera division lost 23.1 billion yen ($231.99 million) as compact camera sales shrank by a third and it shifted 6 percent fewer interchangeable lens camera sales, mostly mirrorless.
In May, the company announced a plan to trim its camera division by cutting 30 percent of staff and whittling its production base to two factories from five. The camera division accounts for 15 percent of sales and is dwarfed by its profitable endoscopy business.

Glory 14: Cro-Cop v Remy!
Monday, 20 January 2014 | Carl
SOURCE: www.liverkick.com
Peter Aerts has shown us that while a 40-year-old body that has endured a lifetime of physical punishment may not respond as vigorously as it once could, a smart gameplan can still provide a path to victory for an older fighter. Aerts' shocking upset of Semmy Schilt in 2010 and near upset of Rico Verhoeven in 2013 was a testament both to his unreal physical and mental toughness as well as to his ability to execute an effective gameplan that pushed his opponents out of their desired fighting styles. Indeed, adapting and finding a way to win is both Peter Aerts' unique forte and the source of his career longevity, remaining in the top-10 across multiple decades and generations of fighters.
When 39-year-old Mirko Cro Cop makes his Glory debut, he will find himself in a division full of dangerous young opponents ranging from skilled technical fighters like Rico Verhoeven to bloodthirsty knockout artists like Daniel Ghita, Gokhan Saki, and Errol Zimmerman. After enduring years of trauma fighting through the ranks of K-1, Pride, and the UFC, Cro Cop will have to fight smart, trading physical prowess for intelligent and perceptive kickboxing. He will have to become a crafty and tactically adept fighter to stay afloat in a shark tank of heavyweight talent.
Perhaps sensing the need for reinvention, Cro Cop has actually developed a close-ranged dirty boxing style in his return to kickboxing. This tactic appears to have paid off for the Croatian, who has now gone 6-0 with notable wins over SuperKombat veterans Ismael Londt, Pavel Zhuravlev, and Loren Javier Jorge as well as young American upstarts Randy Blake and Jarrell Miller, controversial home town decisions notwithstanding. While his new style may not please those who wish to see Cro Cop turn back the clock, the move reflects Cro Cop's growth as a fighter and signifies his maturing expectations. It's a wise decision that has allowed him to remain competitive in today's kickboxing world.
While a fight against semi-retired Remy Bonjasky may not necessarily provide great insight into Cro Cop's place in the heavyweight division, it will undoubtedly offer kickboxing fans around the world the chance to see one of the great legends of the sport return to the sport's grandest stage, and in 2014, following a year of upsets which saw long-held titles, ranks, and orthodoxies overturned, Cro Cop may have some surprises--which hopefully include some vintage LHK finishes--left in store.

Sports News
dominant in Dodgers win over Nationals
Send a link to a friend
[September 03, 2014]
LOS ANGELES -- Just another day in
the park for Clayton Kershaw.
Kershaw earned his major-league-leading 17th win, leading the Los
Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals
before a crowd of 43,352 at Dodger Stadium.
Los Angeles third baseman Juan Uribe hit a two-run home run in the
sixth, keeping the Dodgers (78-61) two games ahead of the San
Francisco Giants atop the National League West standings. The
Nationals (78-59), who own the league's best record, lead the
Atlanta Braves by seven games in the NL East.
"It was good to get a win tonight. We needed that," Kershaw said.
Kershaw one-hit Washington until center fielder Bryce Harper drove a
solo shot into the right-field bleachers with two outs in the
seventh inning. Until that point, Kershaw had retired 12 consecutive
"He hadn't gotten to a fastball yet, so I was pretty stubborn and
kept throwing them," said Kershaw, who lowered his ERA to 1.70, tops
in the big leagues. "He put a really good swing on it (and) made a
good adjustment. He's good for a reason. Hit it really far."
Kershaw (17-3) struck out eight, walked two and gave up just three
hits in eight innings. He has fanned 202 batters this season,
topping the 200 mark for the fifth season in a row and equaling the
mark of former Dodger Don Sutton.
The win also allowed Kershaw, who captured his 50th career decision
at Dodger Stadium, to extend his unbeaten streak to 19 starts
against NL East opponents.
"He just didn't give us any opportunities," Washington manager Matt
Williams said. "Bryce put a good swing on one, but that was about
all he gave us tonight. He's a good pitcher. On any given day,
anybody can beat anybody. Tonight, he didn't give us many
opportunities. That's why he's doing so well because he's not making
any mistakes.
"Like I said, you've got to play a really good game to beat him.
Tonight wasn't the case."
Closer Kenley Jansen struck out the side in the ninth for his 39th
Washington starter Doug Fister was effective early, but allowed two
runs each in the fifth and sixth innings. Fister (12-6) was charged
with four runs (three earned) on 10 hits with two strikeouts and two
walks in five-plus innings. It was Fister's third straight defeat.
"The third time around the lineup they got a sense for him,"
Williams said. "He made good pitches until that point. It just
didn't happen for him. But he's pitched well all year for us, so
we're confident about him going back out there."
[to top of second column]
Kershaw was a catalyst for the Dodgers in scoring a pair of runs off
Fister with two outs in the fifth inning. First baseman Adrian
Gonzalez's infield single plated Kershaw, who singled and advanced to
third on second baseman Dee Gordon's base hit to shallow center. Kershaw
rounded second about the same time Harper was retrieving the ball.
However, Harper's throw to third baseman Anthony Rendon was wide of the
"I don't know if that was the smartest decision," said Kershaw, who went
1-for-2 and appeared to catch Harper by surprise. "I don't know what I
was doing really. I don't get that opportunity much. He's got a really
good arm in center field. That's probably a dumb play looking back on
it, but it ended up working out."
Gordon also came home on Gonzalez's hit when shortstop Ian Desmond's
errant throw home sailed over the head of catcher Wilson Ramos for a 2-0
Dodger lead.
Heralded prospect Joc Pederson received his first big-league start.
Pederson, who replaced the struggling Yasiel Puig in center field,
blooped a single to center to open the second inning. He went 1-for-3
with a walk.
"He just reminds me of 'Cargo,'" Dodger manager Don Mattingly said,
referring to Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. "I think he
looks good all the time."
Adrian Gonzalez, left fielder Carl Crawford and catcher A.J. Ellis each
had two hits for the Dodgers, who finished with 11 overall.
NOTES: INF Miguel Rojas, INF Erisbel Arruebarrena and RHP Carlos Frias
were recalled by the Dodgers on Tuesday. Frias (0-0, 5.65 ERA), who made
his major league debut Aug. 4 and worked eight games as a reliever, will
make his first start Wednesday in the series finale against the
Nationals. RHP Jordan Zimmermann (10-5, 2.93 ERA) will start for the
Nationals. ... Washington 1B Adam LaRoche didn't play because of
tightness in his lower back. LaRoche, who is listed as day-to-day,
aggravated his back in the fifth inning of Monday's win. ... Little
League sensation Mo'ne Davis threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Read the original story here in The Oregonian.
Portland State University English professor Susan Kirtley won the prize for the best academic work on comics this year at Comic-Con, the giant international comics fest last week in San Diego.
Kirtley, who serves as director of writing for PSU, won for her pioneering academic work on comics great Lynda Barry, "Lynda Barry: Girlhood Through the Looking Glass."
Most winners of the 2013 Eisner Awards, known colloquially as the Oscars of the comic industry, won for inking comics, not for academic research. But one Eisner is reserved for best educational/academic work. Leaders from the world of comics who voted on the three finalists in that category chose Kirtley.
A fervid fan of comics since childhood and a huge admirer of Barry, Kirtley did not set out to write a book on the topic. Read Portland State Vanguard comics afcianado Tristan Cooper's excellent interview with Kirtley to learn about Kirtley's interest in Barry and how it turned into an award-winning book.
Cooper and Kirtley's shared "addiction" to the genre shines through in their Q and A, done long before she won her Eisner last week. Vanguard photographer Corinna Scott shot the photo.

Tom Turkey on Candle Making
With Thanksgiving right around the corner using a turkey reference only seems appropriate. In full disclosure I must state that I have never cooked a turkey but have watched and read about the different techniques available. While doing the research I came across this website. I found it very interesting that, yes, candle making shares many similarities to cooking a turkey. Before you laugh to hard, I encourage you to read our newsletter and the referenced website and, by the end (I hope) you have a wonderful candle and a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and not be on a "Wild Turkey Hunt".Read More

Stamford show boasts two times the creativity
They sit in a corner, two heads, two pairs of eyes seemingly fixed on the long canvas of swirling colors and shapes at the far wall of the narrow gallery. Perhaps their gaze occasionally shifts to the left, to a wall of dozens of works and knickknacks that inspired their makers.
One will never know what the "Two Heads Times Two" images are really thinking, since they are merely a painting on an easel brought to life by the imaginations and brush strokes of artists Elizabeth Nagle, of New Canaan, and Mary Elizabeth Peterson, of Westport. The 30- by 30-inch canvas is just one visual representation of the creative collaboration that gave shape to Two Heads Are Better Than One, an art exhibition of paintings and mixed-media work that runs through Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the University of Connecticut Stamford Art Gallery.
Peterson and Nagle met several years back in a mixed-media class taught by the late Barbara Rothenberg, a Westport artist and instructor who they both considered a mentor. The two soon bonded as artists and friends.
"The show has been a bit of a journey," said Peterson. "Many people commented on a number of similarities in the work ... so we knew our work would show well together."
Although the artists may be similar in the forms and colors they use, Nagle said their inspirations bubble up from different sources. Peterson is largely drawn to water in its various forms. Nagle's view is a bit broader.
"I do everything from giant heads to little tiny scribbles," said Nagle. "I'm kind of all over the place."
Yet, the duality of the show afforded the women an opportunity to take some chances when it came to the installation.
"We didn't want to be married to the traditional version of a gallery show," said Peterson. "We wanted to be more creative and flexible and open with each other."
Such freedom manifests itself in the wall of sketches, collages, scraps of paper, buttons, toy soldiers and other items that spurred the artists' completed works in the gallery.
"Being an artist can be very scary. You are really exposing yourself," Nagle said. "The thing about the wall that was so nice was that there were no expectations in those little pieces. ... We didn't have to decide was this one better than that one or more finished."
The two artists said it was important to both of them to expose people to the creative process and to reveal how artists think and work.
"We took that one wall and filled it with everything from scraps of paper that we found on the street to some smaller finished work," Nagle added. "People can then see some of the bigger finished pieces on the other wall. Whether everyone will come to grasp that or get it, I don't know."
For Peterson, the "sketch" wall provides a look into idea evolution.
"We show you these little seeds of ideas at germination," she said, adding that some fully lived and others dead-ended.
And there were some ideas that took shape as the show evolved, including a large canvas on the back wall, "Leftfielding," the second of two works the artists created together.
"We had not planned on that," Peterson said of the work.
Although the images and theme reflect an attention to dual creativity, Rothenberg, who died in June, is a third force in the show.
"I don't think this show would have come to fruition without Barbara," said Nagle, and Peterson agreed.

- Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)
- The Holomorphic Higgs Portal -- General Methods for the Higgs Lagrangian
- Time: 2:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Piyush Kumar, Yale University
- Abstract: We develop a systematic and general approach to study the Effective Higgs Lagrangian in a framework in which the Higgs fields in the visible sector couple to another sector via the superpotential. The extra sector is assumed to be super-conformal in the ultra-violet (UV) but develops a mass-gap with supersymmetry breaking in the infra-red (IR) close to the TeV scale. The main technique used in the approach is that of the Operator Product Expansion (OPE). By using OPE methods, we are able to compute the parameters in the Higgs Lagrangian to quadratic order and make general statements that are applicable to many classes of models. Not only does this approach allow us to understand the traditional problems plaguing simple models from a deeper perspective, it also provides new possibilities for solutions of these problems. The methods and results of our work should be very useful in eventually constructing a fully viable electroweak-natural model of Beyond-the-Standard Model physics.

text: I'm looking for novelty/children's fabric that has funny-scary creatures, like small monsters. That sort of thing. They have to be a neon like color on a bright or black background. I have a collection now, but since the quilt I'm making has to have one of each type, no repeats, I'm running low. I collected all of these over the last few years, but now I find that fewer and fewer stores and sites any longer have them. I went to my LQS (quite a drive for me) yesterday and found nothing! Not a single one. I ended up getting a couple of background fabrics for them, but not any creatures. This A.M. I've been searching my favorite sites on-line and have come up empty handed. Do any of you know where I might find an abundance of these fabrics? Or at least a few? I wanted to finish this project before Halloween, but time is getting short, and so is my supply of scary creatures! TIA for any help. 8-)

The Return of Jim Crow
Fifty years ago, James Baldwin accused his country and his countrymen of destroying hundreds of thousands of black lives. They "do not know it and do not want to know it," he wrote. "It is their innocence which constitutes the crime."
Today, in the era of mass incarceration and supposed colorblindness, the white guilt of the Civil Rights era has exhausted itself, as Barack Obama has observed, and the number of African American lives we destroy through not knowing now runs in the millions.
But Michelle Alexander's stunning and important book may be a turning point in the struggle for racial justice.
It's a book, according to Alexander, for people "who do not yet appreciate the magnitude of the crisis faced by communities of color as a result of mass incarceration." It's a book to end not knowing.
It's early April, a sunny day after months of rain. The grassy prison yard at Washington State Reformatory looks inviting compared to the guard towers, cell blocks, chain link, and curls of razor wire that surround it. But many prisoners are passing up the precious sunshine and filing into the prison chapel to hear Michelle Alexander talk about The New Jim Crow.
This will be Alexander's second lecture at the prison today. Last hour, she was scheduled to talk to the prison guards, counselors, and administrators. Fewer than 10 chose to come, so she spoke to a nearly empty room.
Is this the willful not knowing?
Now she looks out on more than a hundred felons, mostly black men, wearing the brown jackets and pants that for some reason the state prefers. A former ACLU civil rights attorney and now a law professor at Ohio State University, Alexander summarizes the argument she makes in her book. It is essentially this: The system of mass incarceration that has resulted in putting one out of every 31 adults behind bars, on probation or on parole, is merely a redesign of the two race-based caste systems that preceded it: slavery and Jim Crow.
The parallels she describes are chilling.
"Today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans," she says. A person who is convicted of, or pleads guilty to, a felony drug offense is denied health and welfare benefits, food stamps, public housing, and federal student loans and grants. His driver's license may be automatically suspended, and he cannot qualify for many employment opportunities and professional licenses. He will not be permitted to enlist in the military. If he is a citizen, in some states he will lose the right to vote; if not a citizen, he becomes immediately deportable.
Alexander is particularly adept, both in person and on the printed page, at explaining why and how a system purportedly designed to lock up criminals, not people of color, has become even more effective at sidelining African Americans than the overtly race-based Jim Crow system.
Her question for those who see the racial inequity as merely an unintended consequence of the War on Drugs is: If the consequences are unintended, then why aren't we willing to change the drug laws to eliminate the inequity?
To those who persist in believing that African Americans deserve to be locked up at a higher rate than whites because they commit more crimes, she explains the impact of the discretion our law enforcement agencies enjoy in deciding where drug laws are enforced and where they're not. Where are illegal drugs more likely to be found than at a fraternity house? Yet how often are frat houses subject to early morning police raids?
Book Review
Beyond Prisons: A New Interfaith Paradigm for Our Prison Systems
When Alexander asks the prisoners for questions, hands go up all over the room. She answers one or two before the loudspeaker crackles with "Movement's open! Movement's open!" The men have 10 minutes to "move" back to their cells, and their disappointment is clear. They are eager to know about the grassroots movement she proposes, about Supreme Court decisions, and the assaults on habeas corpus. But they won't get a chance to speak.
The New Jim Crow is a call to high-stakes caring across color lines—the kind of revolutionary, grassroots caring that will certainly cost us our innocence and some of our material advantages. But it can also restore the moral force at the heart of the civil rights movement and ensure that we finally listen to—and advocate for—criminals.
Read it and be ashamed and angry for the lives and innocence lost. Read it and start a revolution of caring.

Zesty Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
I love serving hash browns and home fries during weekend brunches with friends or family, but their last-minute preparation on top of the stove means extra work for me. So, I set out to come up with a recipe that could bake up in the oven while I enjoyed my guests. What resulted is a breakfast potato recipe that is packed with flavor from almost every spice in your spice rack that bakes up unattended.
To decrease preparation, I used two packages of prepared, partially cooked red potatoes. The potatoes are tossed with a mixture of the spices and olive oil before baking. If you wish to bake the potatoes the night before, you can reheat them in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Zesty Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
Combine the spices and the olive oil in a small bowl. Place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with the spice-oil mixture. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and crispy. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 servings.

One of the reasons I joined the MOA was to meet like minded souls who enjoy 2-wheeled travel, camping etc. Sadly only a few are female, but I think we should set up a thread for a trial period just to see what happens- if you don't want to go there then you always have the option to ignore it.
Hey Visian, does this young Lady you mentioned live in our area????
Just my 2 cents worth,

One reads that Mars Inc. (the manufacturer) now plans to stop selling candy with more than 250 calories in them. This is part of an ongoing effort on their part to improve nutritional value of their products and sell them in a responsible way. Heck, I don't know, if they reduce the candy size I'll just double, triple or quadruple the amount I'd eat normally.
150 gms unsalted butter, softened (make sure the butter is softened - I broke my hand beater thinking it was 'soft' enough)
1/4 cup sugar
1.5 cups flour with 4 tbsp cornflour added (the recipe calls for cake flour - this the substituted version)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ground rice (rice blitzed in a grinder until it is able to pass through a fine sieve)
Make the Shortbread:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a 9-X-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper (or even foil).
- Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the flour, ground rice and salt. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when you squeeze it.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Rotate the pan from front to back and bake for another 10 minutes, until the shortbread is a deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack to room temperature.
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Lyle's Golden Syrup (I guess any other brand also should work)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (thats juice from half a lime)
1 cup cream
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Salt for sprinkling over the caramel layer (I used Fleur de Sel)
Make the Caramel:
- Combine the sugar, golden syrup, water, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Remove any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan by wiping down the sides with water.
- Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Make sure no sugar crystals are sticking to the side.
- When the sugar syrup starts to turn a dark golden test it by dropping it in a bowl of water - when the caramel cools it will be soft yet hold.
- Carefully whisk in the cream. Stir until smooth, add the condensed milk.
- Return the pan to the heat and stir constantly over medium heat. Remove from the heat and pour over the shortbread. While the caramel is warm sprinkle the surface with the salt.
- Allow to set. This will take about 2 hours.
Chocolate layer
150 gms bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I used a combination of milk & dark)
2 tablespoons butter
- Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave. Make sure you stir the chocolate at 30 second intervals.
- Once completely melted pour over the caramel. Using an offset spatula, smooth the chocolate in a nice even layer.
- Place in the refrigerator to set.

Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will pick the squads.
The Pro Bowl game will be played on Jan. 26, a week before Super Bowl XLVIII, in Honolulu (7 p.m. ET, NBC). The "draft" of teams will take place Jan. 22 on NFL Network.

Placekickers — Matt Prater, Broncos; Justin Tucker, Ravens.
Punt Returners — Antonio Brown, Steelers; Dexter McCluster, Chiefs.
Special Teamers — Justin Bethel, Cardinals; Matthew Slater, Patriots.

Those changes are listed below (several more necessary replacements have yet to be named).

Wide Receiver — DeSean Jackson, Eagles (replacing Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson)
Wide Receiver — Alshon Jeffery, Bears (replacing Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson)
Tackle — Duane Brown, Texans (replacing Eagles tackle Jason Peters)
Guard — Evan Mathis, Eagles (replacing 49ers guard Mike Iupati
Center — Nick Mangold, Jets (replacing Seahawks center Max Unger)
Tight End — Jason Witten, Cowboys (replacing Broncos tight end Julius Thomas)

Placekicker Stephen Gostkowski, Patriots (replacing Broncos kicker Matt Prater)

The most fundamental needs of professional web development companies are upgraded technologies and ingenuity. Any website wishing to adopt some skilled web services expects to see services of quality. It's their desire to see that their websites have been upgraded technologically. This can only be ensured by having your upgrades done by professionals, and from a company of good reputation. There are some very key points to be aware of when you go seeking for the right professional developers for you own site.
One of the key components to look for is the pricing. And you want to find someone who can deliver your needs, and give you the best value for the dollars you spend. So be sure to check out all the types of charges they intend to charge you with, and make comparisons, by looking at several different companies who offer the same services that you need.
Keep in mind that web development is a process, not only to make the site more innovative and more precise, but for ensuring it's rendered advanced technologically. It doesn't matter if it falls within the scope of software development, site creation & design, or in internet marketing, because all of these activities are linked in with the growing and developing of a website. You can find numerous companies available online today for just these things, but it's not so easy to locate the perfect one for suiting and delivering exactly what you yourself personally need.
Another thing for you to watch and do is previous work of the company you're considering. Ask for references. Don't be backward about things because, after all, it's your money that's going to pay for the services. See if you can get any testimonials from previous clients. Nothing speaks louder than a satisfied client. This way you can be confident in their ability to deliver what it is you need. Make sure they're well established. Ask around in forums to see if anyone has had good or bad experiences with this company.
Whenever you're searching for the right web development company to handle your affairs, you must be able to clearly relay your vision for your website to the company. They need for you to be able to convey the total picture of what it is you want. Communication is key in this process, from both sides. Discuss every last detail with them and never be afraid to ask questions. You can discuss anything from flash designing, search engine marketing, branding procedures, link building strategies, or software creation. Anything that affects your website should be open for discussion. Make sure you can tell that your developer is someone who truly has your interest first at heart and gives good advice when needed.
Remember, they're going to be working for you. So if at any time you have the slightest doubts and can't resolve that feeling, then simply move on. This is too big of a decision just to leave to chance.

Dear Domain Investor,
If you are here because you are looking for a fulfilling way to make money online, congratulations, you may have just found it!
My name is Sean Stafford. I'm 29 years old and I've been in or around the domain industry for 10 years. I've bought and sold domains regularly on a full-time basis for 7 years. I've spoken at conferences and to audiences all over the world about investing in domain names as covered in DNJournal.com. Some of these conferences include: HostingCon, T.R.A.F.F.I.C., DomainRoundTable.com, and more.
I regularly do consultation for other domain investors, and with my eBook, I can consult for you too. Once you read Domain Graduate, you will have the chance to replicate what I have done, which I've spent thousands of dollars and countless hours perfecting – a profitable career in domaining.
Although I've already made a mint in the domain industry, as you can imagine I have also lost some money along the way. That's right; I'm letting you know, up front, that I've lost a little bit of money at some point. But the great news is that you don't have to!
With my eBook, you can learn the correct way to become a Domainer instead of figuring it out through the school of hard knocks. You can learn it through DomainGraduate, and you can learn it for the same cost that only three .com domain name registrations would cost. It's as simple as that.
Imagine if you register hundreds of domains that are complete flops. Do you understand how costly that could end up being? For the same price of only three (3) domain registrations, I'll show you what NOT to register. I'll teach you to use established and well thought-out patterns when making domain purchases. If I'm able to save you hundreds of dollars in bad domain registrations then I think we would both agree that the price of $19 is well worth the money.
But guess what, if you buy my book and you don't find the information useful, I'll give you a complete refund. No questions asked. Many people believe in my techniques and domaining psychology. My eBook is used as a guide in many different domain organizations and always comes highly recommended. But, if you purchase it and are not satisfied, I'll freely return your money. That's my promise to you.
With more than 130 million currently registered domains in the marketplace, lots of people understand and embrace the financial power of this industry. There is an abundance of opportunity for people such as you to thrive. But before you jump in, you'll either need some guidance (DomainGraduate hint* hint*) or you'll need to know that there could be many stumbles along the way and those errors may be very, very costly!
With domaining, you can either earn a thriving income or become a slave to something that will only cause you lots of work with little reward. If you want to start out domaining correctly from the beginning, consider pursuing a condensed education that is consolidated all into one place. I guarantee you that it will pay for itself many times over.
In Domain Graduate I unravel some of the mysteries of the top-dollar money makin' domainers. I simplify the industry's tactics and explain these cult-like secrets that I myself only uncovered by putting in years of my time researching and studying through the night. I bring it all together in one eBook that explains everything that you need to know in order to get started.
It all depends on you! Do you want to take the first step to success and hit the ground running?
Happy Domaining!
Sean Stafford

Liberia City
Liberia is known as the White City
Liberia as yet, retains its essentially Tico flavor, tourists are still regarded with curious interest if seen walking down the street and you certainly won't find yourself hassled by pushy salesmen here which is somewhat of a relief for those who have been visiting the heavily tourist populated towns such as Monteverde and Arenal and beaches like Tamarindo.
If you want to experience a living Costa Rican town at work then Liberia is the place to go. It is much smaller and less chaotic than San Jose and you can still see remnants of its colonial era. It is known as the 'Ciudad Blanca' (White City) due to the white 'bahareque' houses, a material made of straw and cattle dung, similar to adobe.
The town is laid out in the standard block system and is centered around the Plaza Central with its modern church (Iglesia Inmaculada Concepcion de Maria) as the main centerpiece. The clock tower, completely separate from the rest of the church, is an interesting architectural feature, although don't rely on its timekeeping as the hands rarely move!
One of the best things to do in Liberia is simply take a stroll along the streets and see where you end up, that's if you have a good sense of direction of course.
But you should always try and make it back to the Plaza Central at dusk to listen to the gossip of the local birds (zanates), the winged variety that is.
However, do keep an eye skyward, otherwise you may find yourself returning to your hotel room with an addition to your outfit. On the bright side, apparently this is supposed to bring you good luck if it lands on your head!
The oldest church in Liberia is locally called La Agonia and is at the far end of Avenida Central. (see map). Behind which on a clear day you can see the distant Volcan Miravalles. There are also several other older buildings along this street leading from the Plaza Central to La Agonia, including the La Gobernacion building. If you wander near the outskirts of town you may be lucky enough to see howler monkeys, known as 'congos' cruising around the tree tops.
Also around town you will find many Guanacaste trees, the national tree of Costa Rica, along with their unusual ear-shaped seed pods, known locally as 'Orejas' (ears). Not to be confused with the large, circular sweet snack of the same name often found hanging in market stalls. Break one open (the seed pod) and give it a sniff, it has a unique smell, rather akin to cat's urine or something of that nature.
Liberia's block system is mostly one way, apart from the Avenida 25 Julio which becomes the Avenida Central, so if you are driving yourself double check which way traffic is going as signs are not always obvious and make sure you watch out for the stop 'Alto' signs. Even locals get it wrong sometimes so don't be too embarrassed if you do! Accidents like elsewhere in Costa Rica are very common here. As a pedestrian, still look both ways when crossing the street even if you think you've got the traffic direction down pat, as the one-way rule does not seem to apply to cyclists or else is just blissfully ignored. Bearing in mind that a bike doesn't make any noise, you won't have heard it coming when you suddenly find yourself making sudden acquaintance with said bike and irate cyclist.
Anyway that said, we hope that you enjoy an accident free stay in Liberia.

It's not exactly a "genre" per se, but there should be a name for the kind of song that would be the perfect thing to have in your headphones while you are running full speed through a dystopian future, dodging laser blasts and parkour-ing over double-parked hovercars. Whatever you might call it, 65daysofstatic's "Crash Tactics" is a great example of the form.
Off the band's awesomely named 2011 album We Were Exploding Anyway, "Crash Tactics" has all the best robot-sex-sound parts of dubstep with none of that genre's trappings. *cough cough wubwubwub cough cough. Instead you get adrenaline-raising drums, atmospheric strings, just the right amount of ever-so-slightly dissonant guitar blasts. So whether you're running from the time police in 2075 , hoofing it on a treadmill at the local gym, or just some help waking up on the way to work, it's a solid listen. [Spotify, iTunes]

Childhood central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors form from germ cells.
This summary is about germ cell tumors that start in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Germ cell tumors may also form in other parts of the body. See the PDQ summary on Childhood Extracranial Germ Cell Tumors Treatment for information on germ cell tumors that are extracranial (outside the brain).
The most common place for one or more central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors to form is near the pineal gland and in an area that includes the pituitary gland and the tissue just above it. Sometimes germ cell tumors may form in other areas of the brain.
Anatomy of the inside of the brain, showing the pineal and pituitary glands, optic nerve, ventricles (with cerebrospinal fluid shown in blue), and other parts of the brain.
CNS germ cell tumors can occur in both children and adults; treatment for children may be different than treatment for adults. See the following PDQ summaries for more information about the treatment of adults:
For more information about the different types of childhood brain and spinal cord tumors, see the PDQ summary on Childhood Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors Treatment Overview.
Childhood CNS germ cell tumors are grouped into germinomas, teratomas, and nongerminomas.
CNS germ cell tumors are usually grouped based on what the cells look like under a microscope. This summary is about the treatment of CNS germ cell tumors in the following groups:
Germinomas are the most common type of CNS germ cell tumor and have a good prognosis.
CNS teratomas may contain different kinds of cells that can grow into tissues, such as hair, muscle, and bone, within the tumor. Teratomas are described as mature or immature, based on how normal the cells look under a microscope. Teratomas are sometimes a mix of mature and immature cells.
Some nongerminomas make hormones. The following kinds of tumors are nongerminomas:
The cause of most childhood CNS germ cell tumors is not known.
Possible signs of childhood CNS germ cell tumors include unusual thirst, frequent urination, early puberty, or vision changes.
These and other symptoms may be caused by childhood CNS germ cell tumors. The symptoms may be different depending on where the tumor is, the size of the tumor, and whether the tumor makes hormones. Check with your child's doctor if you see any of the following problems in your child:
Other conditions may cause the same symptoms.
Imaging studies and tests are used to detect (find) and diagnose childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors rarely spread outside of the brain and spinal cord.
Staging is the process used to find out how much cancer there is and if cancer has spread. There is no standard staging system for childhood central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors. The treatment plan depends on the type of germ cell tumor and if the tumor has spread within the CNS or to other parts of the body. The information from tests and procedures done to detect (find) childhood CNS germ cell tumors is also used to plan treatment. The tumors are grouped as newly diagnosed or recurrent.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
Childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors may recur (come back) after they have been treated. The tumors usually come back in the same place as the first tumor. The tumor also may come back in other places and/or in the meninges (thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord).
There are different types of treatment for patients with childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors.
Different types of treatment are available for children with childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Because cancer in children is rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Children with childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating cancer in children.
Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist and/or a radiation oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer. The pediatric oncologist works with other pediatric health care providers who are experts in treating children with childhood central nervous system germ cell tumors and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include the following specialists:
Some cancer treatments cause side effects months or years after treatment has ended.
Some cancer treatments cause side effects that continue or appear months or years after cancer treatment has ended. These are called late effects. Late effects of cancer treatment may include:
Some late effects may be treated or controlled. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about the possible late effects caused by some treatments. (See the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for more information).
Four types of standard treatment are used:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type of the tumor being treated.
Radiation therapy to the brain can affect growth and development in young children. Certain ways of giving radiation therapy can lessen the damage to healthy brain tissue. For children younger than 3 years, chemotherapy may be given instead. This can delay or reduce the need for radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Whether surgery to remove the tumor can be done depends on where the tumor is in the brain. Surgery to remove the tumor may cause severe, long-term side effects.
Surgery may be done to remove teratomas and may be used for germ cell tumors that come back. Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given chemotherapy or radiation therapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue
High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue is a way of giving high doses of chemotherapy and replacing blood -forming cells destroyed by the cancer treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your child's condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Children whose cancer affected their pituitary gland at diagnosis will usually need to have their blood hormone levels checked. If the blood hormone level is low, replacement hormone medicine is given. Children who had a high tumor marker level (alpha-fetoprotein or beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) at diagnosis, usually need to have their blood tumor marker level checked. If the tumor marker level increases after initial treatment, the tumor may have recurred.
Newly Diagnosed Germinomas
Treatment may include the following:
Newly Diagnosed Teratomas
Newly Diagnosed Nongerminomas
Treatment of choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, or mixed germ cell tumor may include the following:
Sometimes the tumor marker level decreases after initial treatment but the tumor can still be seen in imaging tests. Surgery may be done to remove as much of the tumor as possible and do a biopsy.
Recurrent Childhood Central Nervous System Germ Cell Tumors
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with childhood central nervous system germ cell tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." In the United States, about two-thirds of children with cancer are treated in a clinical trial at some point in their illness.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. For additional help in locating a childhood cancer clinical trial, call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
The PDQ database contains listings of groups specializing in clinical trials.
The Children's Oncology Group (COG) is the major group that organizes clinical trials for childhood cancers in the United States. Information about contacting COG is available on the NCI Web site or from the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

I was recently discussing the mainstream media's love affair with Second Life, and how the bloom appears to be off the rose. The Denver Westword News recently followed around a Denver University 'media specialist' who is working on SciLands, where NASA the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other scientific groups have a virtual outpost; while Jeff Corbin, the 'media specialist,' and other academics are practically beside themselves with the potentials for nuclear research in Second Life, the other side is presented:
Now others at [Denver University] seem to be paying attention. "Can you imagine if we really succeed, if we get twenty students into this laboratory to do physics experiments?" says Hill excitedly. "Putting them into a nuclear control room and letting them do things and destroy things and not letting them get hurt? Think of what this means. Imagine how powerful this can be for education." But not everyone was thrilled when the story hit the online newspaper Inside Higher Ed last year. "Second Life isn't stable enough to test something that important," one commenter wrote. "Why not make a program that will actually simulate that properly? Second Life doesn't even stand up to normal 'game' quality. It can't even properly simulate a car."
Zing! The accessibility of Second Life is cited as a reason institutions are having 'notable' results with their virtual counterparts, but I'd be curious to know how 'notable' is being defined. With help from the feds, a Denver scientist helps Second Life go nuclear [Denver Westword News via TerraNova]

Indulge your inner hipster!
We all know bike commuting is good for the earth.
And the earth is fueled by coffee!
Not for me.
I purchased this with high hopes and sadly was a little let down. This held a coffee cup just fine. However it didn't fit well over my bar tape and was not able to hold an aluminum can. For these reasons I had to return it. If you are solely looking to hold a coffee mug on a bike with no bar tape then this is what you're looking for!
Matthew it does say Coffee Cup Holder. It wasn't designed to hold Aluminum Cans . I found the item quite sufficient. Also it IS adjustable. I found it slipped over my bar tape quite easily
Yes, ditto that Robert Cullin
Coffee holder.
I bought this to complete my wife's townie. Her bike is already cool as, but when I saw this, I had to buy it. Super cool, and looks great. The inside of the holder has a nice foam lining to give extra grip on the portable coffee mug, and also to prevent any scratches on it too. I'm a big fan and so is she.
