No problem! Let me know what you think. If you don't like butter as much as Paula DeenDoes you might cut back on that amount a little bit.
Posted 10:34 am, 12/03/2018
Thanks, Countrygal88. I eat out today but will look forward to making these tomorrow.

Thanks! I'm trying to be less of a lurker. Haha. The recipe is super easy. Mix together 4 1/2 cups bisquick, 1 cup 7-up, 1 cup sour cream. Melt a stick of butter in a 9x13 dish, cut out your biscuits (about 1 in. Thick), place in melted butter and bake at 425 until golden brown.

I love to cook, but never heard of these. Do you just substitute seven-up for milk? By the way, I also enjoy your comments and posts.

Fried apples are sooo good. I made some applesauce in my instant pot a few weeks ago that was amazing. Have you ever tried 7-up biscuits?

Synonyms? No! Intrically related? Yes!Lineage, tradition and community are not synonyms.
not always, but they can be misused in this manner, I agree.The idea of a lineage exists in Zen, (Tendai), and Vajrayana, to form exclusive claims on certain teachings and strengthen their position as orthodox.
I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe, but...But Buddhism can survive perfectly well without such lineages too.
Didn't say they were.On one hand, experienced practitioners, wise and compassionate teachers and enlightened beings are not restricted to lineages.
Not in Vajrayana. Recorded teachings (tantra) are coded in Vajrayana and 100% require the presence of a guru. The guru learnt the code through their guru and... so now you start to see why (and how) lineages take shape.On the other hand, even without the benefits of a teacher and a community when can verify experiences by the recorded teachings and personal life.

Jobs in the Midwest
We're glad that you visited our web site today, which indicates that you have an interest in joining the SSA team. It makes a difference where you work, so you should work where you can make a difference. - You should work for Social Security!
What is Social Security?
Social Security is an employer that you can be proud of.
We make a difference in the lives of millions!
The basic idea of the Social Security system is a simple one. During working years, employees, their employers and self-employed people pay Social Security taxes, which fund current payments to Social Security beneficiaries. Any excess money is invested in securities such as Treasury bills, notes, and bonds.
As a member of the Social Security team, you would be instrumental in administering a program through which more than 90 percent of working Americans are building protection for themselves and their families against the reduction of income that comes with retirement, disability, or death.
You would also have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the neediest people in our society. SSA also administers the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program which makes payments to aged, blind, and disabled people in financial need. SSI payments are made from general revenues of the U.S. Treasury, not from the Social Security trust funds.
In addition to helping pay benefits based on retirement, disability, or death, and need, you would also provide information about the Medicare program. Medicare provides protection against the high cost of health care to Americans 65 and over, as well as some disabled beneficiaries.
For more information concerning careers with SSA, including positions and how to apply, please visit our Careers Page at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/careers/
Social Security is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified candidates will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.

With monstrous calorie counts, portions that are bigger than almost anyone needs and enough salt to sink a ship, it is rare to find an eatery that can balance taste, good nutrition and appropriate portions. We recently highlighted some of the of dietary challenges inherent to menus such as those of Swiss Chalet, Tim Hortons and Casey's Grill Bar (to be fair, it wasn't all bad news — each offers lower calorie options if you know where to look). But now it's time to focus on some eateries — both old and new — that make the job of a nutritionist just a little easier.
Quick service
A teenaged athlete recently asked me whether or not I recommend fast food. While the question is simple, my answer wasn't: yes, it would be easy to demonize fast food — the industry has definitely taken a hit in the press in recent years — but it is a simple fact that for many individuals, including athletes, families, frequent travellers, and yes, even the health-conscious, a stop for a quick bite is sometimes the simplest option. And while pretty much every fast-food restaurant offers at least a small handful of reasonable options, I most often recommend sandwich shops such as Subway because you can easily pick up a meal for less than 500 calories — and you'll actually get some veggies.
The trick with Subway, if you're mindful of your weight, is to choose from their lower fat ("6 Grams of Fat or Less") menu. While I'm not a strict proponent of low-fat eating — there is mounting evidence that a white bun will do you more harm than the sauce or dressing — the simple fact is that you can save yourself several hundred calories (the ultimate bottom line for weight gain and weight loss) if you stick to the lower fat subs, and by keeping to six-inch subs whenever possible.
To drive this point home, let me give you a simple example: A six-inch turkey breast sub with Swiss cheese, mustard and assorted veggies offers up a mere 332 calories — a drop in the bucket compared with most restaurant meals — but if you change your order to a six-inch Cold Cut Trio with cheese sub sauce, you nearly double your order to 590 calories. Make it a 12-inch, and you're talking about nearly 1,200 calories, or about half- to two-thirds of what the average Canadian needs in a day.
Veggie delite
Since opening in 2005, Freshii (formerly known as Lettuce Eatery) has grown into a multi-city franchise. Well-established in Toronto (as well as several U.S. cities), and now expanding to Calgary and Edmonton, Freshii has been dubbed "the Starbucks of healthy food," and for good reason. Based on the popular New York-style salad eateries, Freshii (and other similar salad-based establishments that are now popping up all over town) allows you to customize your own salad (or wrap or rice bowl) with a myriad of fresh toppings, ranging from lettuce to edamame or smoked bacon.
But the best part is the on-line nutrition calculator that allows you to customize your meal, ingredient by ingredient, helping you to avoid the classic 1,000-calorie monsters you often get at restaurants and fast-food chains. Of course, as with anything, too much of a good thing can be a problem: Be aware of your portions of dressing, as well as having too many high-calorie toppings such as seeds, cheese and dried fruit.
Sit down and enjoy
You can imagine my enthusiasm when I heard about a restaurant that purports to be one of the first — if not the first — calorie-controlled establishments in Canada. According to the website of FOUR, a downtown Toronto restaurant that opened in 2008, "we offer a balanced approach to guilt-free dining. We pride ourselves in our commitment to healthful dining by offering all of our dishes under 650 calories." Yes, you read it right: all entrees are less than 650 calories, and a quick perusal of the menu reveals many entrees that are in the ideal 400-500 calorie range. Desserts are all under 200 calories, and served in sweet bite-sized servings that are just enough to keep you from feeling stuffed.
As you can imagine, preparing tasty dishes that are calorie-controlled — but still satisfying for even the most discerning corporate clients — is a challenge, but it's one that chef de cuisine Matt Rosen has embraced with open arms. With plenty of ingenuity and experimentation, Rosen has developed a menu that not only keeps your waistline in check, but tastes good, too.
Since the opening of FOUR, other establishments have followed suit. GLOW (yes, also all in caps) is another Toronto restaurant that offers a calorie-controlled menu developed by popular nutritionist Rose Reisman. Advertised as a grill and wine bar, the emphasis at GLOW is also healthful, tasty food in an upscale atmosphere. Like FOUR, most menu items are in the 400-500 calorie range, and all are proudly displayed on the restaurant's website.
The bottom line
Finally — finally! — we are starting to see more options that allow the average person to eat a healthful meal at a restaurant with reasonable portions. While many of these establishments (Subway excluded) are still only available in major urban centres, their popularity speaks to a growing trend that will certainly see more opportunities to expand across the country — a trend that, if all goes well, should help us shrink, even if just a little.

The president will take the oath of office Monday, but this column deals with the opposite end of the spectrum when the president leaves office.
The president will take the oath of office Monday, but this column deals with the opposite end of the spectrum when the president leaves office. The Presidential Library System began in 1939 when President Roosevelt donated his presidential papers to the federal government. Motivating this decision was the belief that such records are an important source of information that should be accessible to the public. President Truman decided to build a library in 1950.
In 1955, Congress passed the Presidential Libraries Act, which provided for a system of privately created, publicly owned libraries. Presidents were encouraged to donate their papers upon leaving office. The program is administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). To date, 13 presidential libraries dating from the administration of Herbert Hoover operate under this program, including the George W. Bush Library on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, due to open this spring. Presidential papers prior to the Hoover administration are housed at various locations, several in the Library of Congress.
Throughout our history, it was held that presidential papers and those of his administration were private property. In 1978, Congress enacted the Presidential Records Act, which specified that these papers are the property of the United States. Ann and I have had the opportunity to visit nine of the 13 libraries. Since some of the visits were brief and took place years ago, I don't recall that much about the libraries, but some of my impressions follow.
We arrived at Hyde Park, N.Y., too late to tour the Franklin Roosevelt Library-Museum. The thing that stood out at the Truman Library was the replica of the Oval Office with "The Buck Stops Here" marker on the president's desk. The Thomas Hart Benton mural captures your attention as you enter the library. The Eisenhower Library is located in Abilene, Kan., near the president's childhood home. Displayed here are many gifts Eisenhower received from world leaders and World War II memorabilia including some Hitler items. The Kennedy Library, located at the water's edge of Boston Harbor, displays a huge American flag hanging from the ceiling. Video clips of Kennedy news conferences show his wit. A time line of the achievements of his administration ended abruptly on Nov. 22, 1963.
At the Johnson Library on the campus of the University of Texas, I recall seeing a moon rock that had just been added to the collection. A touching video of an elderly Johnson appeared at a Civil Rights gathering just before his death caught the president popping a nitro glycerin pill.
The Carter Center Library and Museum is located in a gorgeous setting on a hill reportedly where General Sherman watched Atlanta burn during the Civil War. The library is a very active center with President Carter actively involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. While his administration was beset with problems, a case can be made that he is one of our greatest former presidents. When we were there at Easter, the center had an extensive exhibit on George Washington Carver.
The Reagan Center, the largest of the presidential libraries, is located on a hilltop in Simi Valley, Calif., across the mountains from Santa Barbara. To greet you on arrival is a huge statue of a smiling Ronald Reagan in western dress.
Since our visit, Air Force One of the Reagan era has been moved to the mountain to join Reagan, never to fly again. The George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library is located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station. It contains a section of the Berlin Wall, which came down during his administration. You can choose from an assortment of letters from President Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush to send to your friends or grandchildren.
The Clinton Library, "A Bridge to the Future," located on the banks of the Arkansas River in Little Rock, is the most expensive of the presidential libraries. The thing that impressed me most was the friendliness of the volunteers, many driving over 100 miles to get there. An unintended attraction that caught my attention were the raccoon tracks imprinted in the concrete. An attendant told me they considered obliterating the tracks, but decided to leave them — only in Arkansas.

Lovely photos!

They are the Manolo Blahnik Cava Fur Trim boot.
It's not bad enough that they are ugly and make you look like something out of 1 Million Years B.C. (and not in a good way like Raquel here).
No, the worst part is that the fur element, which is bad enough, is ocelot fur.
Ocelots are endangered species.*
Endangered because of loss of habitat and due to hunting them for their fur. Supposedly they are legally protected. I'm not sure how the Manolo Blahnik company was able to get fur for these boots.
I know I talk a lot about shoes on here most of which are made of leather. This is a transition I am personally working through.
But I put fur on another level altogether. And the fact that this fur comes from a threatened species just makes it all the worse.
I have written a letter to Manolo Blahnik via the contact form on their site addressing my displeasure and disgust at this practice. I also think I will be taking an additional step.
I will be boycotting Manolo Blahnik.
I hope I get some sort of response from the company. I'm not sure if I will or not. I suggested they recall the boots. Will they? I don't know. I'd like to hope so.
I'll let you know what they say.
If you want to write to them, the easiest way is to use the contact form on the site. Let's see if we can reach them!
UPDATE: Ocelots are officially listed as "Near Threatened" with their population trend as "Decreasing" by the IUCN Red List. However, the use of this animal's skin and fur could potentially still violate the Endangered Species Act and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. It is being looked at by a lawyer, so more info to come.

Google Downranks The Pirate Bay In The UK, Because Surely, That Will Make People Buy Again
from the riaa-logic dept
Either way, it makes you realize how incredibly pointless all of this is. If someone is doing a search explicitly for "pirate bay," not finding the actual site as a top result isn't suddenly going to make someone rush to their nearest RIAA-approved record store to purchase something. Google's job is to help people find what they're looking for -- not to tell them "this isn't the site you're looking for" when it clearly is.

Reimagining the Waterfront
Manhattan's East River Esplanade
June 6 - October 28, 2012
Back to Past Exhibitions
Visionary redesign proposals for the East River Esplanade.
Manhattan's East River Esplanade occupies a narrow strip of land between the FDR Drive and East River,and 60th and 125th Streets. Currently, the site offers a continuous promenade and bike lane with shoreline views, but it also suffers from neglect and decay as well as the challenge of the neighboring highway. To inspire city residents to think boldly about the site's potential, CIVITAS, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Upper East Side and East Harlem, sponsored an ideas competition in the fall of 2011, inviting architects, landscape architects, and city planners from around the world to submit creative and original proposals for the site. Their submissions ranged from transforming the East Side into a system of canals to returning to the area to its original marshland. Reimagining the Waterfront features the eight winning designs as well as photographs of the site through history and today.

I just had a moment of inspiration when answering a question about exporting to PowerPoint in the Mindjet Community. There has never been a easy way to transfer your maps to PowerPoint. The current exports to PowerPoint do not show off your hard work of laying out the map and formatting it. They transfer the topic text to bullet points or PowerPoint objects (bullet points in blocks). My recommendation has always been for simple maps to export the image then insert and link to a slide. For more complex maps either use screen grabbers to capture sections of the map or sub-divide the map in to several maps using "Send to new map" then export the images. All a bit painful.
Here is my using the web exports for PowerPoint slides brainwave
1. Use the Presentations web export
This will automatically produce a set of images intended for a set of web pages from your map. You will need to play with Customize – Advance Settings before you get the best images for your presentation.
- Open the map
- Export to web using the Presentations template
- Create a new PowerPoint presentation or use an existing one.
- Then insert and link the image files you will find in the web export folder.
- Tip: It helps to sort the folder by file type.
2. Use Linked Map View and Clickable Image Map web export
This idea follows on from the sub-dividing suggestion above.
- Open your parent or master map for the presentation.
- Export this as a Clickable Image Web export.
- Tip: In Customise – Advanced Settings: Include Map Background – True (jpg good if you have photos) / False (gif produces smaller image files)
- Go to Linked Map View.
- Select the number of Map Levels required
- Select All
- Web Export
- You have now created a folder for each map with an image file in it
- Insert and Link the images to your PowerPoint slide.
Why have I bolded the Insert and Link? Simple: if you edit your map, repeat the export, close and reopen your PowerPoint file it will be refreshed with the new images. (I failed to find a Refresh button or shortcut key in PowerPoint)
Just wondering if I have missed something obvious in MindManager associated with the Slide View. Please tell me if I have.

Calibra is right : I was refering to shorter back lines knot setting for the ''more power setup''.
For the front bridle attachment point, I've been riding the factory setup : I'm pretty sure it's the faster setup because as I said previously, this kite is very fast for a 17m.
Thank you Calibra for the indications for the Fat Lady front bridle setup because it's not in the user manual. I've been looking the 2013/2012/2011 and nothing.
I'll drop an e-mail to Blade to let them know that riders read these manuals... or sometime maybe ... when they have questions on setups. If they can't put everyting in the manual, they should at least add info on their web site.

Today's Must-Read
Kassia Kroszer on writing, publishing, publicity, the internets, and the future:
I am not worried about the future of the book. I am not worried about the future of reading. I am not worried about the future of spelling (I am almost-but-not-quite ready to accept the "spelling is relative" argument, !@#$ British and their extraneous use of "U"). I am worried about the future of publishers.The rest of the post is full of ideas, hypotheses, and possibilities. It's also worth comparing it to this Galleycat post about Tim O'Reilly's presentation at the Tools of Change conference, where O'Reilly discussed the difficulties of giving content away for free.
By publishers, I mean traditional, bound-copy based, royalty-paying publishers. Oh, I don't think they're going away for a good long time, but I do think we're seeing the beginning of a serious challenge to the status quo. This means a slow (publishing being a very slooow business) shift from authors who are grateful for any crumbs thrown their way to authors who will ask "So tell me again, what can you do for me?".

|Previous Episode: The Good, The Bad, And The Dominatrix
|Next Episode: Dead Doll
Living Doll is the twenty-fourth episode and season seven finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
The CSIs expose the true identity of the Miniature Killer, whose need for revenge for the death of Ernie Dell will place a member of the team in mortal danger...
Grissom and Brass visit Trevor Dell, one of Ernie Dell's many foster children. They find him lying dead in his apartment, with a miniature doll of Trevor nearby. The autopsy shows that Trevor died of electrocution when he touched the damp cracks in his bathroom sink. The CSIs trace the source of the power to his neighbor, who was stealing electricity from him to save money and accidentally ran the wiring past the sink, setting up a deadly trap.
Grissom finds a partial fingerprint on the Trevor doll, and epithelials in the print come back with female DNA. He also observes that the doll wears a metal bracelet. Grissom visits a hobby shop that specializes in miniature work. The owner recognizes the bracelet and says he made it for someone named Natalie, who also bought a battery-powered micro motor.
The CSIs learn that another one of Ernie Dell's foster children was a Natalie Davis. Grissom and Catherine visit Natalie's biological father, Christopher Davis, who is a ventriloquist whose stage name is "The Great Rainone." Mr. Davis tells them that when Natalie was six years old, she killed her younger sister, Chloe, by pushing her out of their treehouse. He had used bleach to clean Chloe's blood from the driveway, as Natalie watched placidly from the treehouse. Later on, Mr. Davis put her up for adoption because he could no longer deal with her psychosis. Grissom and Catherine discover that the doll pictured in all of the miniatures is the bisque doll that the Great Rainone uses in his act, and that the doll is modeled after Chloe. They seek out the first foster family that took in Natalie after Mr. Davis gave her up. The foster mother confirms the CSIs' suspicions about bleach being the trigger for Natalie's murderous tendencies, then says that she had Natalie put back in the foster care system after she tried to kill her foster sisters by pushing them from the tops of their bunk beds.
Grissom returns to his office and is disturbed to find another miniature crime scene on his desk. The miniature shows a doll trapped underneath a battered and overturned red Ford Mustang on a nondescript stretch of desert road. The doll's hand, which is visible from under the car, is moving. Grissom lifts the model car and is horrified to discover that the doll under the car is made to resemble Sara. He immediately calls Sara's phone and gets no response. Grissom later learns that Natalie had abducted Sara from the parking garage; Natalie Davis, a member of the CSI lab cleaning crew, is revealed as The Miniature Killer.
Grissom tells the other CSIs about Natalie. After recalling that Sara was the lead CSI on a case involving a car accident six weeks before, the team pulls up case photos and discover that Natalie had been in the crowd observing the crime scene. Grissom remembers gently stroking Sara's arm at the crime scene and realizes that, unlike the other murders, which were triggered by bleach, this crime is personal. Feeling cornered, Grissom says that Natalie holds him personally responsible for taking Ernie Dell, the only person she ever truly loved, away from her, so she intends to do the same thing to him. Catherine, Greg, Nick, and Warrick are shocked by the revelation of Sara and Grissom's relationship.
Natalie is arrested. As Grissom questions her, she hallucinates that she slashes his throat. Grissom angrily demands to know where Sara is, but Natalie tunes him out as she plaintively recites lyrics from "I've Got a Pain in My Sawdust," a song the Great Rainone performs in his act.
The episode closes with a shot of an overturned red Ford Mustang lying in a remote stretch of Nevada desert as it begins to rain. Sara's hand reaches out from under the car and claws at the mud as puddles of rainwater begin to grow around the car.

I Forgive You - text
Musíš se nejprve přihlásit. Pokud nemáš účet, tak se zaregistruj
I want to welcome you to my I Forgive You mixtape
Lil B - love of bullshit on my mind
I'm just tryna stay alive and be positive, uplift
Show love to where I come from
This shit brings tears to my eyes cause it's like
Fuck these niggas man!
That's on life, nigga
[Verse: Lil B]
My inside's burnt up, I'm tore up from the weed smoke
My vision out of place, I'm a hunter
I got the fiends going, literally, not mentally
I'm on another note, the last time I've seen some real friends
Was on the TV show, and when I was going break
They always had their comments
Leave you in the dirt and hit you where it hurts
But a man like me, I'm a work on the nightshift
Work on the graveyard even if I never sleep
The American dream is to die self-made
The rich stay rich and the poor eat the grains
Now that's where the root and the source of all my pain
I was born into war, I don't want to die in a flame
Listen, just listen, you can heard it in the system
I forgive you for your thoughts
It's hard to see wisdom, when you're a 5, you're not thinking 10
You're not seeing 7, you're not even 6
And I guess you kind of pissed cause most niggas staying under
I forgive your hate, I sit back and wonder
Life's really hard but I move through the thunder
I keep my head up, I step my bread up
The money came in to me cause a brother stopped chasing
Quit being so thirsty, no off back hating
No random car rides with the fiends to go shopping
I was stealing that night, I was dealing that night
But plotting by day, I still live in paranoia
Even still to this day, I can't believe I'm not folded
They not planking in the Bay where I'm from
Cause this is not a game and they got real guns
I forgive you for your ignorance, not paying attention
To the message that I'm giving, to say I'm never sitting
That means that I'm not sick and I been down since the beginning
With a cough and a limp, warm hand and cold lips nigga
This little boss
And I'm thinking about the tat
Cause the squad showed me hate
But I don't got to relax
I gotta relax, actually, I need to relax
But I got the respect, I forgive you at last
Take the money out the car, put my soul in the bag...

When I was growing up, my dog, like most dogs, didn't like thunder. I bet she wouldn't have liked the dragons in Skyrim, either.
This image of "Maggie," tweeted by Skyrim-makers Bethesda, shows a dog reacting quite viscerally to, we have to assume, a charging winged beast in Skyrim.
Now that I've bumped up the difficulty and modded the dragons to be more difficult, I often have the same reaction.

Background: Cocoa is rich in flavonoids such as (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin; these compounds have displayed both in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activity.
Objective: This trial evaluate the regular ingestion effect of both, dark chocolate and cocoa powder, over plasma lipids of young males subjected to ex vivo lipid peroxidative conditions.
Design: Single-blind, controlled and randomized clinical trial including 100 healthy men, divided into two groups: 50 subjects received 30 g of cocoa powder and 50 g of dark chocolate/d for 1 wk, and the other 50 subjects received placebo.
|Condition or disease
|Lipid Peroxidation
|Dietary Supplement: Cocoa powder berverage, dark chocolate bar Dietary Supplement: Placebo
|Not Applicable
Adult young males were enrolled at the Universidad Industrial de Santander by publicity at the university food service centre. Those who respond (n=136) were selected after the normal blood lipid profile was verified by laboratory testing of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL and triacylglycerols, as well exclusion and inclusion criteria were applied. Within the exclusion criteria we included diagnosed coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, use of any prescribed medication, restrictive diets and any migraine or cocoa products allergic antecedents.
Finally enlisted subjects were 120 non-smokers, normolipemic, ages were between 20 and 30 years old, who underwent anthropometric measurements like weight, height, BMI (among 16.0 and 27.4 kg/m2) and regular nutritional and toxicological habits using standardized surveys. Subjects received 3 meals a day from the Food Nutritional Service of Universidad Industrial de Santander, in order to ensure the same diet conditions for all subjects along the experimental period. An average colombian diet, based on 2287 calories as a total caloric value (protein 15%, fats 35% and carbohydrates 60%) was used. The study protocol and the informed consent were approved by the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá Institutional Ethical Committee (Santa Fe de Bogotá D.C., Colombia). We got written informed consent from all participants and they received money compensation for its participation in the study.

Sugar drink containing 30 g of cocoa powder and 50 g of a 65% dark chocolate, and the control group received 30 g of placebo drink containing 0 g of cocoa powder. Each drink was prepared by using 300 ml of water and 30 g of sugar, also were consumed twice each day: with breakfast and afternoon meal. during 7-d after the intervention started.
Dietary Supplement: Placebo
Sugar drink containing 30 g of cocoa powder and 50 g of a 65% dark chocolate, and the control group received 30 g of placebo drink containing 0 g of cocoa powder. Each drink was prepared by using 300 ml of water and 30 g of sugar, also were consumed twice each day: with breakfast and afternoon meal. during 7-d after the intervention started.
- Oxidative protection index [ Time Frame: 7-days after the intervention started. ]Oxidative protection of plasma lipids was set up by measuring hexanal, known as one of the main components of oxidizing n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The oxidative protection index (OPI), was defined as the difference between the basal and post intervention (cocoa taking in) sample chromatographic areas as stated by the formula: OPI = (Area0 - Area1/ Area0)*100. Hexanal determination was carried out by HS-SPME in situ derivatization method using PFPH fibre saturation as derivatizing agent under the methodology
- Oxidation resistance index (ORI) [ Time Frame: 7-days after the intervention started ]ORI was expressed as a percentage and held as the difference among basal (0) and post interventions (1) lag time of each subject according to the following formula: ORI = (lag1 - lag0/ lag1)*100. Plasma was 50-fold diluted in a saline phosphate solution (PBS; 0.0027M KCl, 0.137M NaCl, pH 7.4) and then was exposed to copper (II) chloride at final concentration of 95 µM in a 2.5 ml quartz cuvette. Conjugated diene formation from lipid peroxidation was followed at 245 nm wavelength, recorded each 5 min over 4-h period at 37ºC in a Perkin Elmer Lambda Bio 10 spectrophotometer

Back For More
The UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team will be making its second College Cup appearance in the last three years this weekend in St. Louis. After spending seven weeks with a No. 1 national ranking in 2004, the Gauchos steam-rolled through the postseason, posting wins over No. 27 UW-Milwaukee, No. 3 UNC Greensboro, and No. 22 Virginia Commonwealth to reach the program's first-ever College Cup. With a quasi-home field advantage in Carson, Calif., UCSB dismantled Duke 5-0 in the semifinals, before tying Indiana 1-1 and ultimately falling 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out in the national championship match. Returning to Division I soccer's final weekend once again in 2006, Santa Barbara has won nine of its last 10 behind an offense that has found its stride and a superb backline. The Gauchos enter Saturday's semifinal against Wake Forest with a 16-7 overall record.
Gauchos on the Tube
For the numerous members of the Gaucho faithful that will be unable to make the trek to St. Louis, there is good news. While nothing beats watching college soccer in person, Santa Barbara fans will have the opportunity to follow the Gauchos on television as long as they are still standing in this weekend's College Cup. Although Friday's opening match between UCLA and Virginia will air live on ESPN2 at 3:00 p.m. PST, UCSB's showdown with Wake Forest, scheduled to kickoff 46 minutes after the conclusion of the Bruins and Cavaliers' bout, will be broadcast tape delayed that night at 11:00 p.m. on ESPNU and then again Saturday, Dec. 2 at 11:00 a.m. on ESPN2. Sunday's final will air live on ESPN2 at 12:00 p.m. PST. Rob Stone will be handling the play-by-play, Eric Wynalda will be doing color commentary, and Quint Kessenich will be on the sidelines.
Don't Forget the Air & Web
In addition to watching the College Cup on the small screen, fans who want to catch the Gauchos take on the Demon Deacons live can tune in to KCSB 91.9 in Santa Barbara where the two hardest working guys in student radio will be calling the action as they have been all season long. Chris Hoffman and Alex Pavlovic will be in St. Louis broadcasting both matches, should UCSB make the final Sunday. Fans can also listen online by logging on to www.kcsb.org.
UCSB vs. the ACC
With the potential to face two schools from the Atlantic Coast Conference in three days this weekend, it is worth noting how UCSB has faired against college soccer's top conference in the past. The Gauchos own a 3-2-1 all-time record against teams from the ACC, with five of the six matches coming in the last four years. In September of 2003, UCSB won the Duke/adidas Soccer Classic with a 4-0 victory over North Carolina State and a 2-1 win over the host Blue Devils in the title game. Santa Babara met up with Duke again in the 2004 semifinal in Carson, Calif. and defeated the Blue Devils by a 5-0 margin on a pair of goals by Drew McAthy, as well as scores from Jonathan Davis, Tony Lochhead and Matt Bly. Lastly, the Gauchos have seen fellow College Cup participant Virginia twice in the last two years, and are 0-2-1 all-time against the Cavaliers. In 2005 UCSB and UVa battled to a 0-0 double overtime tie before Virginia won a 1-0 decision in this year's season-opening UVa Soccer Classic championship. Santa Barbara's first encounter with an ACC squad came back in 1985 when the Gauchos' roster against UVa featured a freshman by the name of Tim Vom Steeg. UCSB lost 2-0.
You Look Familiar
There is no doubt that UCSB faced a rather grueling schedule in 2006 and, as evidence to support that claim, consider this: Not only have the Gauchos faced two of their three fellow participants in this weekend's College Cup before, but they did so this season. Santa Barbara played both Virginia and UCLA as part of its non-conference slate and the finals would present a rematch, should the Gauchos get past Wake Forest. In the just the second game of the year, the Cavaliers' Yannick Reyering dished a ball to Jeremy Barlow for the only goal of the match as then-ranked No. 3 Virginia edged 21st-ranked UCSB 1-0 to claim its own UVa Soccer Classic crown Aug. 27. The Gauchos were out-shot 10-8 in that game, but held a 14-3 advantage in corner kicks. UCSB squared off with the then-seventh-ranked Bruins Oct. 5 in front of a record crowd of 5,475 at Harder Stadium in the Fox Soccer Channel's Match of the Week. Despite out-shooting the visitors 16-11, Michael Stephens, Jason Leopoldo, and David Estrada registered goals for UCLA, while Eric Frimpong was the lone Gaucho to find the net in the 3-1 loss. Although UCSB holds an 0-2 record against this year's College Cup field, I think we'd all agree the Gauchos are not the same team that they were in August or even October.
Chances are the Gauchos Have your Number
While the Gauchos have already seen Virginia and UCLA this season, Friday's semifinal against Wake Forest will mark the first-ever match-up between the two schools. Over the past three seasons, Santa Barbara has faired extremely well in contests in which it is facing an opponent for the first time. In fact, the Gauchos are a perfect 9-0 in such games since 2004, out-scoring the opposition by an incredible 28-3 margin. This year UCSB faced only one program for the first time and the result was the Gauchos' most lopsided victory of the season, a 5-0 victory over then-ranked No. 7 Akron to open the season.
There's No Place Like Santa Barbara
By now most of the collegiate soccer world has heard what its like to play in front of a raucous crowd at UCSB's Harder Stadium and there was good reason the Gauchos were thrilled to get to come home for the quarterfinals after two roads games in three days in the second and third rounds. Despite the fact that most of UC Santa Barbara's students were gone for the holiday weekend, the community came out in full force for UCSB's Elite Eight match with Northwestern last Saturday. A total of 8,874 - the largest crowd in the country in 2006 and second biggest in program history - were on hand as UCSB bounced back from a 2-1 halftime deficit to defeat the Wildcats 3-2 and advance to a second College Cup in three years. In 2004, a boisterous crowd of 11,215 witnessed the Gauchos bully Virginia Commonwealth 4-1 in the quarterfinals in what became the highest-attended NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament game prior to the College Cup ever. In the Gauchos' first round match this season, 2,356 fans flocked to Harder, where UCSB defeated San Diego State 2-1 on Nov. 11. In two NCAA Tournament contests in 2006, the Gauchos had an average attendance of 5,615.
A Tale of Two Seasons
Saturday's 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Northwestern in the Elite Eight was the Gauchos' ninth win in their last 10 games and a season-high fifth straight. Santa Barbara's current five-game winning streak has come against teams that held a combined 59-33-12 record and the Gauchos have out-scored their last five opponents 14-5 to improve to a season-best nine games over the .500 mark at 16-7-0 overall. What makes UCSB's tournament run all the more impressive is the fact that at one point, the Gauchos had lost four of six and were sitting at 7-6 on Oct. 11. After a 1-0 loss at UC Riverside, the coaching staff issued a challenge to the players and they have responded, winning every game since with the exception of a 2-0 loss to a very good UC Irvine team Nov. 1.
Hit `Em Hard, Hit `Em Early
While UCSB has won a season-best five in a row, the Gauchos' formula for success during the postseason has not been all that different from that of the regular season. With the exception of the 2-1 comeback victory over San Diego State in the opening round, UCSB has struck first in all of its tournament matches this season and wasted little time doing so. In Santa Barbara's 3-1 win over top-ranked SMU, sophomore forward Nick Perera put the Gauchos on the board in the 32nd minute. Three days later, the native of Madrid, Spain gave UCSB a 1-0 lead at Old Dominion, scoring on the game's first shot at the 6:11 mark. Finally, junior midfielder Tyler Rosenlund punched in the first of his three goals against Northwestern just 9:20 into the match in the 3-2 win last weekend. Drawing first blood has been absolutely critical for the Gauchos this season. They are 15-1 in 2006 when scoring first, with their only loss coming against then-ranked No. 18 Illinois at Chicago Sept. 8. Conversely, UCSB is just 1-6 when its opponents strike first, with the lone win coming three weeks ago against SDSU.
Sometimes Its Good to be Greedy
Continuing to examine the Gauchos' offense, it is definitely fair to say that the Santa Barbara attack is as potent now as it has been at any point this season after recording three goals for the second time in the NCAA Tournament. UCSB has now scored 10 goals in four postseason contests so far - the most of any of the four College Cups participants - for an average of 2.50 goals per game. That number is well above the 1.32 goals per game average the Gauchos held during the regular season after scoring 25 goals in 19 matches. Santa Barbara, a team that scored one goal or less in 13 games during the regular season, has now found the net at least twice in five straight. In 2006, UCSB is a perfect 10-0 in matches in which the offense scores two or more goals.
Seedless Fortunes
When the Gauchos made their postseason run and finished as the national runners up in 2004, they did so as a No. 9 seed, the highest in school history, and received a first round bye. Although that team had to handle the pressure of the expectations that come with entering the tournament with a No. 1 ranking, one could make a very compelling argument that this year's team has had a more impressive run. Unranked for much of the season, the 2006 squad did not have the luxury of a first round bye and, although they were awarded a home game, the Gauchos had to beat a very talented San Diego State team in the first round. From there, UCSB faced top-ranked and No. 3 seed Southern Methodist at Westcott Field in Dallas, where the Mustangs had yet to lose in 2006. After shocking everyone with a 3-1 upset over heavily favored SMU, the Gauchos flew directly to Norfolk, Va., where they defeated a scrappy Old Dominion squad 2-1. The 2004 squad had to win one less game - on the road, no less - to reach the College Cup.
A Few Good Men
With the UCSB men's soccer team one win away from a return to the national championship stage, it has been the defense that has been a constant all season. Posting a total of 11 shutouts in 2006, fourth in Division I, and averaging one almost every two games, the defensive unit of Jeff Murphy, Andy Iro, Greg Curry, Brennan Tennelle and goalkeeper Kyle Reynish has been getting it done all season. Currently sporting a combined 0.90 goals against average, UCSB's stellar defense has given up 21 goals in 23 contests, a total that ranks 9th in program history. In fact, the Gauchos held their opponents scoreless in five of their last six regular season games - all of which were victories. While UCSB has given up a goal in all four of its postseason wins this year, including two against the Wildcats, the Gauchos have held the opposition to one goal or less in 10 of their last 12 matches.
2006 Regualar Season Review
After losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago, the Gauchos were not a exactly a favorite to return to the College Cup in 2006. Starting the season with a No. 23 NSCAA preseason ranking, UCSB opened with a bang embarrassing then-ranked No. 7 Akron 5-0, only to fall to No. 3 Virginia 1-0 two days later in the UVa Soccer Classic title game. From there, Santa Barbara won four of its next five, with the only defeat coming against No. 18 Illinois at Chicago on a fluke goal with overtime just 31 seconds away. The Gauchos opened Big West Conference play with a 2-1 double overtime victory over Cal State Fullerton Sept. 21, but then hit a rough stretch in which they dropped three of four, including a 5-0 blunder at BWC rival Cal State Northridge and a 3-1 home loss to then-No. 7 UCLA. UCSB bounced back with an impressive 2-0 win over No. 15 UC Irvine to move into first place in the league standings, but lost to UC Riverside for the first time in 32 years October 11. That loss would prove to be the Gauchos' wake up call, as they won five of their final six--including their first victory over the Matadors since November of 2004 - to claim the Big West Conference title. Four of Santa Barbara's seven losses came to squads that were ranked in the NSCAA Top 25 at the time, with five of them coming to teams in the extremely strong Far West Region.
UCSB Collects Nine Conference Awards
When the annual all-conference teams and awards were announced Tuesday, Nov. 7, the Gauchos were once again one of the Big West's most decorated squads. Highlighted by junior Andy Iro's second consecutive Defender of the Year award and senior Kyle Reynish's Co-Goalkeeper of the Year honors, a total of seven players were named to all-conference squads. In addition to Iro and Reynish, midfielders Bryan Byrne and Eric Avila were named to the first team, while midfielder Eric Frimpong, defender Jeff Murphy, and forward Bongomin Otii garnered second team accolades.
We Belong
After winning the Big West crown Nov. 4, UCSB is making its postseason run with a national ranking of No. 17, coming in the final Soccer America poll. The Gauchos returned to the Top 25 in the regular season's final week following a month-long absence. Santa Barbara appeared in the final College Soccer News poll, after winning five of its final six games and was ranked No. 27 in the Top 30. UCSB has been ranked as high as No. 7 in 2006 but dropped out of all three Top 25 polls following the brutal 5-0 loss to Cal State Northridge Sept. 27. UCSB then slipped out of the polls all together for the first time in over three years the following week after falling 3-1 at the hands of then-ranked No. 7 UCLA. Santa Barbara did not appear in the final NSCAA/adidas or Soccer Times coaches polls.
A Measure of Experience
For a team to be successful and advance deep into the NCAA Tournament, as the Gauchos have done in 2006, it is important to be able to win close games. After defeating Northwestern 3-2 in the Elite Eight last Saturday, UCSB has played a total of 23 matches this season, with 14 of those coming down to a one goal decision. The Gauchos own an 10-4 mark in those contests, with three of the four losses coming on the road. Santa Barbara dropped 1-0 decisions at then-ranked No. 3 Virginia Aug. 27, at UC Davis Sept. 23 and at UC Riverside Oct. 11 and lost 2-1 to No. 18 UIC at Harder Stadium Sept. 8. On the flip side, 10 of UCSB's 16 victories have come by a one goal margin - five of them by a 1-0 count - so this year's team definitely has experience playing in close games.

World We Want Post-2015 campaign takes off in Zambia | Kanni Wignaraja
05 Feb 2013
It takes foresight to look into the future and imagine the way you want it to be. And then, it takes persistence and courage to influence it to be so.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are not imaginary – they are tangible, and many countries are on the way to achieving them. But more than 1 billion people still live in poverty. Growing inequality and injustice, or the effects of climate change and terror activity may not have been what the MDGs were designed to address. But our world is one where the lines are blurring between development and humanitarianism, between short- and long-term impact, between planning for development and for emergencies. Our imagination has to stretch.
This time around, while we look to accelerate progress toward the MDGs, two elements could drive and shape this future vision: first, a people's sense of equity, and second, a people's sense of engagement in making their own choices.
Let us look at some numbers and the stories they tell:
- Zambia has reduced the rate of extreme poverty from 58 percent in 1991 to 43 percent in 2010. However, extreme poverty continues to be higher in rural areas (57 per cent) than urban areas (13 percent).
- The universal primary education target has been met with a 94 percent school enrollment rate, but challenges persist with low completion rates in secondary school.
- The national HIV rate has come down below the MDG target, but the rate of new infections is growing.
- And while the economic growth rate at over 6 percent for the past decade has been admirable, Zambia's human development indicators remain static and the country ranks of 164 out of 187 countries.
These numbers seem to describe different worlds. So, this time around, let us imagine Zambia as one country, one people – all prosperous and safe.
The process has begun. Zambia is one of more than 50 countries where the UN is leading national dialogues on the global development vision beyond 2015. The stories and aspirations of young Zambians will create a vision of the World We Want, which will influence the UN Secretary General's High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development.
Talk to us: We need everyone's ideas for global development after the era of MDGs, and everyone's input to bring about the world we want.

Nice find! It's much more noticeable when you watch K-ON S1. S2 not that much.
The lines there looked more stubbier than the likes of Nichijou, Hyouka and Chu2koi. Personally I disagree if anyone says they're not quite aiming to expand their output more. The way I see them they just handle things more delicately, trying to avoid rushing into things and choking the workforce.
It truly would be great though if Animation Do could work independently at the same time with the main studio. Then again if it's time it's time. No use trying to force themselves in something that could very much put their projects in jeopardy.
If that does happen, I can see one studio handling the high profile works while the other handles the new IP. Pretty much if everything goes well with their LN business then we can see one handling the cream of the crop of their own franchise.

Just did some research looking to see if there's any trends in announcements for KyoAni works. Of the 7 series that were broadcast in April the following year, we had the following months of announcement: August, October, December (2008), December (2007), December, May, November. (Haruhi (2006), Lucky Star, K-On!, Haruhi (2009), K-On!!, Nichijou, Hyouka). Obviously the Haruhi (2009) announcement is a huge outlier, so I'm discarding it. That gives us a good range of fall dates for announcements. August and October have already come and gone, so obviously we didn't get any announcement then. Hyouka was announced in late November and the two K-ON! series were announced at the very very end of December (ironically the 30th for both).
If trends follow, we have a Kadokawa show coming up (which traditionally have been the spring shows (Munto and Full Metal Panic being the outliers)). The only Kadokawa show that was aired in April and was announced after October was Hyouka; the others were announced prior to that (with Haruhi (2009) being an exception due to making the movie). I highly doubt we'll see another K-On! series since they've never done two TBS/Pony Canyon shows in a row, but if we reach December and there's not been an announcement, you could get your hopes up.
If you want to see the full breakdown (except for Fumoffu, my researching skills suffered trying to find its news), you can look at this spreadsheet. I just wanted to get a better view of when to expect an announcement.

So, there's 10 episodes of Chuunibyou with staff included, and so far, there has been no Ishidate, no Nishiya, no Horiguchi, almost no Yamada and Ikeda(s).
Considering how little Yamada worked on Hyouka too, I expect their next series to be handled by her, unless they're promoting another director (Ishidate?). All those people above are major players at Kyoani and they've practically no participation in Chuunibyou, so they're probably working a considerable amount on the next Kyoani project.
If they're going with Kadokawa again, I don't know what's in the works, but Haruhi S3 is a possibility. If they're going to break the trend, the most obvious possibility would be Kyoukai no Kanata, which follows the objective of getting bigger as a LN company.
The lack of Ishidate and Nishiya gives me hope for a completely new series with a more serious tone + awesome designs. But that's too optimal. Just seeing Yamada direct something that is not K-On! would be enough for me.

No K-ON duo is really something. Then again a key players missing who'm I've thought were gonna be present here have surprisingly been MIA.
Ishidate being the director would be kinda interesting but then again he's the assistant director for Nichijou and that really looked good. It's a possibility that he's being promoted. Though I'd really like it if he were the Chief AD.
Anyway I'm really banking on Kyoukai no Kanata to be their next project. It seems more logical than people rumoring K-ON S3 or Haruhi S3. Also IIRC raito-kun did state that the trailer was probably done by Ishidate and Ueno. Assuming that's right then we could really see it happening.
On a side note though I also won't also be surprised if Animation DO handles the finale. Lately they've been taking major roles and have been surprisingly very good. I can also see this as a means to hone and prime Animation DO for further productions.

I'm really hoping that Kyouto Animation would do K-ON! Season 3. Maybe their staff thinks it is boring to do same animes because animes like Haruhi and K-ON! would sell to the end of the world. It is quite interesting they don't give too much power for safer income?

I'm sure Kyoto Animation would have to do with new titles. Why should they do K-On and Haruhi? I don't think they are desperate for money. Even if they decide to do the sequels, that doesn't mean it would be an instant hit would it? I'm sure KyoAni has plans for whatever their next project will be.
Kyoukai no Kanata would be more logical though than a sequel of Haruhi, K-On or even FMP for crying out loud.

Geez, dude, don't you think they should at least do the occasional sequel to satisfy older Haruhi fans? Or do you think we should just be forgotten about and left out in the cold forever?
At least with K-On they've covered the high school years of the original four (Ritsu, Mio, Yui, and Mugi). With Haruhi, there's loads left to adapt.
And there's every reason to think that more Haruhi and/or K-On would be massive hits, certainly selling more than Nichijou did, and likely selling more than Hyouka did.
I certainly don't see where it would be "illogical" to do more Haruhi next.

Still, if there is no Suzumiya next year I will be massively disappointed. And pissed. When was the last time we didn't even know anything about their upcoming works? Are they still working on Chuu2 at all? How common is it for projects to be announced only 4 months ahead? Even if they only bring something in the summer, 7 months is still unusual.

From Chuunibyou thread:

The interesting part comes in when Anibin took a look at the remastered OP for 2006. Anyone who has seen the OP/ED for the 2006 episodes can testify that KyoAni took the time to re-animate them for the BD-Box and future airings have used said footage. I found it interesting that Anibin's analysis of the re-mastered OP/ED shows them to be on par with Nichijou/Hyouka/Chuunibyou's main story parts. We can now say that it's probable Haruhi's OP/ED was the first 955 HD production from KyoAni. My feeling is that they used the opportunity to practice making something at this resolution prior to Nichijou's airing. Still an interesting fact IMO.

I remember reading somewhere the K-ON director, Naoko Yamada mentioning that after the movie, there weren't anymore plans for more K-ON. She felt the movie was a good note to leave the series at.
On Haruhi
There's about 4 more short stories left to adapt with Haruhi.
- Snowy Mountain Syndrome
- Love at First Sight
- Where Did The Cat Go?
- The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina
- 6 short stories if you include Haruhi Theatre I and II
- more if they do anime originals like Someday in the Rain
Main stories left include
- Intrigues
- Astonishment
- Disassociation
Although Astonishment and Disassociation apparently continue the same story arc and still hasn't even finished?
If true, then that's only 1 main story that they can adapt fully. If it wasn't for Endless Eight taking up eight episodes, who knows how many less stories would've remained.
I think they definitely have enough material for another 1 cour run and possibly a 2 cour run. But after that you're pretty much riding right up the novels behind and considering the pace that Tanigawa seems to be writing them at, I'm not quite sure that's a good place to be in.
Whelp, guess that's what I get for not reading the novels past Live Alive and basing everything off wiki lol Props for the enlightenment ultimatemegax

Health-conscious actress Jennifer Aniston has been turned off McDonald's burgers for good after suffering a bad reaction to the junk food.
The star, who is known for her clean-living, reveals she and her fiance, actor Justin Theroux, were once faced with no other option but to eat at the fast food chain.
She tells New York Magazine, "I'll never forget when Justin and I were on a road trip and we were so hungry. The only thing around was McDonald's. I think I ordered a Big Mac. Wow, my body did not react well to that! It was like putting gasoline in a purified system.
"I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible."

Who Are You?
When online, how do you know who you're really communicating with? Does that affect your shopping or banking habits? Do you know people who don't use the Internet much because they are afraid of identity theft?
The latest statistics from a Pew Research Center study demonstrate the pull of the Internet:
•80 percent of Americans are users, whether through personal computer, tablet, or smartphone;
•many of those users do not conduct any kind of commerce;
•30 percent have not made a purchase online;
•and 40 percent do not bank online.
