I'm happy there's just 28 weeks to go!!
Another check in....
I'm happy there's just 28 weeks to go!!
I have had a not- so -great first trimester, which I am very happy to say is about over. I am almost 14 weeks. I had a lot of nausea, a little vomitting, and a TON of constipation. My fatigue has been out of this world, and of course I am swamped at work. The constipation is still horrible and I am worried my doctor is going to send me to have "something" done about it... yuck. She has me doing all kinds of stuff to try and regulate, but it does not seem to really be working.
I too opted for the nt scan. I had it last Monday and the genetics counselor said the scan looked good, but I have to wait for my results- I should have them this week sometime. I am very nervous. The scan was good because we saw the baby, which at this point does actually look like a whole baby. It is so amazing to me that at this stage they are all there- it is just a matter of getting bigger and fine tuning everything. Seeing the baby made me feel happy but I immediately went into worry mode after we left, which I will not get into. I just wish I would stop it already- I know I have to let it go, Give it to God, but it is soooo hard for me (some days I am better than others).
I am convinced I am having a boy. I will know this week as I opted for the gender test. That is another thing that amazes me- that they can detect the gender from mom's blood test. I have one daughter, who I know would prefer a sister. I don't have a preference. My husband would never say he had a preference, but he would probably love to have a son.
I am very worried I am going to blow up like a house this pregnancy. Maybe it is the constipation talking, but I have already gained 8 pounds even thought I have not been able to eat much on most days. In my last pregnancy, I gained nothing in the first trimester and only gained 20 pounds total. I feel bigger every day and it makes me feel uncomfortable and kind of "blue".
I told work on Thursday, I had to- my stomach is so popped out already-- I just want to wear maternity clothes. I hate telling work.
My Babies: Maryn:2,Brienne:18,Cody:20 and Lukas(2-14-13)
I am over the halfway mark (21 weeks this week)...so YAY!!!!
I have my next appointment on Sept 6th. And then a 2nd Level II Ultrasound on the 24th (at my 1st anat scan the felt that my placenta was too close to my cervix and wanted to do another one after about 6-8 weeks to see if it had changed before we make any decisions about delivery). I am looking forward to that most...another chance to see my baby boy!!!
For the most part the nausea has subsided (certain foods upset my tummy - pizza, sweets, etc) but feeling better now than I did a few weeks ago.

15 weeks today here. fatigue has gotten better, thank goodness. have been obsessing about weight when i jumped from 2 lbs to 5 lbs all of a sudden. I'm overweight to begin with and really fearful about gaining, it will be SO difficult for me to lose.
I was all excited to find out the gender at my 20ish week ultrasound but all of a sudden am realizing I think I would rather wait and be surprised! go figure! turns out hubby doesn't mind waiting either! Still thinking it over but i am leaning toward waiting. i hear such wonderful stories about how great it is to wait, and that it can be a motivator during labor.
Still waiting for the parents to get back in the USA so i can tell them i'm pregnant!
Feeling way more comfortable in maternity clothes. Wish i had just admitted earlier that it was ok to get them, even if it was due to bloat not belly.
Sinus infection is on the mend. yay!
Nursery plans delayed because our old house flunked the lead hazard assessment we had done. We have to replace a bunch of windows and do other work!
I feel very thankful that you all are here....!!
babyschultz... goooo team BLUE!
emmamags...I've gained 6 pounds at only 10 wks. I feel constipated, but really i know my digestion is just really really SLOW and also for the quantity of food I'm putting in, only a little bit is actually coming out as waste! It's amazing how much the little babies and the formation of the placenta, etc. really need in the form of food and nutrition. I know some peoples bodies don't act that way but mine sure does. EVERY TIME. Keep the fruit and fiber going and take senekot every day.
I'm in elastic waists and loose fitting clothes cuz I'm just miserable in anything fitted. My boobs are huge. It just will be hard to keep it from close friends much longer, since I'm petite and normal weight to begin with. Had my 1st dr appt today at 10 wks and we've decided to follow normal pregnancy appts and protocol... no extra scans or tests unless something comes up that we opt to check into further. Will probably do quad screen just to give us a heads up on whether we should do more screening... we live in a smaller town so if there were any problems we should probably deliver at a larger, specialized hospital. But other than that, we are treating this like my "younger" pregnancies and hopeful for the best. Dr did a quick unbilled vag u/s today to check for hb since I have a history of early m/c, so we got to take a quick look at the cloudy mass they call a baby and the flicker they call a heartbeat, lol. I already knew the baby had hb though cuz I have a doppler at home (but didn't tell the dr that). That's it for me... I'm starving again so time to eat! AGAIN.

I have gained 18 pounds and I'm going into my 18th week similar to last pregnancy. I got back down to 135 (60 lbs) in ten months so I'm not too worried.
Next Monday the 27th I go see perinatologist for level II to check my placenta which is covering my cervix and to check baby of course! We are so excited to find out if it's a boy or girl!!! Counting down the days!
I am feeling great - not sick anymore and have more energy!

18W1D here. I've been lucky so far...I think...and have only gained ~2 lbs - it worries me though b/c who knows what's to come in the next half. Fatigue is still an understatement some days - but I can't seem to find it in myself to nap after work. There's dinner to be made, possible exercise to be done - possible - not probable . About every 3rd night I get decent sleep - but the dreaming is unstoppable - last night it was about roaches - tiny little ones climbing on some plan - thanks Aunt Marie for implanting the suggestion due to your unruly neighbors. Apparently I screamed and brushed my arm - I'll swear to you there was a spider on it.
Other than that - the feeling has been mostly good - on days when i'm not thinking about the fact that I've been constipated for that day. Thank goodness for yogurt. I'm excited to feel it move - although it's been so feint I'm not positive it's what I've felt. The DH is nothing but supportive - and when I see some of the stories out there about stupid SO and DHs I feel that much more lucky to have mine with me for the next 22 weeks.
Oh - and I'm 40 yrs old and this is our first - due 1/21/13

Thank you to all who shared their comments about constipation. LOL. Pregnancy is funny, I find myself sharing things I would not otherwise.
Sigourney- That is funny that you said that about having a dream about roaches. I woke up about an hour ago from this horrible dream about roaches!! In my dream, my husband was flicking them at me, thinking he was being funny, and I was mortified! I woke up yelling out "stop!" LOL

My wife has two past medical debts (one from 2007 and one from 2008) that went to collections. I want to issue a PFD letter for both, but would like to know the SOL for the debts before doing so. We lived in Alabama at the time the debts were sent to collections, but we currently live in Texas. Which state's SOL do I need to go by?
Also, what are the chances of a PFD working if we're still within the SOL?

Hon Hai May Make TVs in Arizona
Hon Hai Precision Industry Chairman Terry Gou said Saturday the iPhone and iPad assembler may invest in or build a factory in Arizona.
Significant client Apple is building a plant in the state, it said earlier last week.
Mr. Gou's comments came after he met with Arizona Gov. Janice K. Brewer in Taipei on Saturday.
Apple's presence there is independent from Hon Hai's decision but Mr. Gou said "Made in USA" promoted by President Barack Obama will be a future industry trend.
Large-screen televisions made by Hon Hai under contract sell well in North America so it is considering a panel and assembly plant in Arizona, he added.
Ms. Brewer "offered attractive investment incentives," Mr. Gou said. "I am interested in the environmentally friendly technology and the state can provide a good business environment," he added.
"Arizona could be a good location for our new mold equipment headquarters…as it is close to our plant in Mexico."
Taiwan-based Hon Hai employs more than a million workers world-wide and has factories in more than 10 countries including China, Hungary, Vietnam, Turkey and Brazil.
Hon Hai, also known as Foxconn, is increasing it large-screen, high-resolution TV capacity and has bought some Sharp assets to acquire know-how.
It is looking to buy 10% of the Japanese company but the two haven't agreed on a price.
Apple is testing high-resolution TVs with Hon Hai and Sharp, people familiar with the situation said.

Over a million students nationally wait for seats to open up in already-full charter schools. Many more attend failing schools in neighborhoods that could benefit from the high-quality charter networks revolutionizing public education in places like Newark and New Orleans. In the face of a clear and persistent need for excellent charter schools, what stands in the way of their growth? This paper from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) attempts to answer this question by examining constraints on charter expansion.
Authors Jenn Hatfield and Ian Lindquist profile three of the nation's oldest and most successful networks: Uncommon Schools (forty-three schools in six northeast cities), Great Hearts Academies (twenty-seven schools in Phoenix and, recently, Texas), and Carpe Diem Learning (six schools scattered throughout Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, and Texas). They use in-depth interviews with teachers, principals, staff, and executives within each network to explore two sides of the same coin: What factors facilitated the growth of these networks, and conversely, what factors deterred them and likely still hinder others?
Specifically, they seek to identify the "bottlenecks" limiting each operator's expansion. All three networks experienced problems with authorizers and/or identified authorizer relationships as essential to manage well. For instance, Great Hearts' attempted Nashville expansion was blocked by the local...
Does keeping a child in a school that appears to be struggling mean that parents are happy with it? Should we consider resistance to school closures a sign of demand for those schools?
Those are two of the big questions raised for me in a fascinating debate between Jay Greene and Mike Petrilli about the role test scores should play in school closure.
It's true that parents often fight back when their children's schools are going to be closed. And why not? In most cases, they're losing their current option without being offered a replacement. They are told to go find a new school. Often, the alternatives are not much better than the old schools, and they may be a lot less convenient. It's not a trade. It's a one-sided loss—and a huge headache.
But we should be careful about assuming that just because their kids are still enrolled in a school, parents like that school. Enrollment is modest proxy for family satisfaction. Instead of asking parents if they want their children's schools to remain open, we should ask them whether they would choose to stay if they had other options. Then we should give them other options.
Here's something that...
The school choice tent is much bigger than it used to be. Politicians and policy wonks across the ideological spectrum have embraced the principle that parents should get to choose their children's schools and local districts should not have a monopoly on school supply.
But within this big tent, there are big arguments about the best way to promote school quality. Some want all schools to take the same tough tests and all low-performing schools (those that fail to show individual student growth over time) to be shut down (or, in a voucher system, to be kicked out of the program). Others want to let the market work to promote quality and resist policies that amount to second-guessing parents.
In the following debate, Jay Greene of the University of Arkansas's Department of Education Reform and Mike Petrilli of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute explore areas of agreement and disagreement around this issue of school choice and school quality. In particular, they address the question: Are math and reading test results strong enough indicators of school quality that regulators can rely on them to determine which schools should be closed and which should be expanded—even if parental demand is inconsistent with...
At the turn of the twentieth century, scholars and politicians alike were wrestling with a new America. It was the end of Reconstruction, and race relations in the country were coming to the fore of the national conversation. Sociologists and politicians were embroiled in contentious discussions that would shape the nation's development. Amidst the controversies were egregious theories perpetuating the belief that persons of the Negro race were intellectually inferior and, thus, not deserving of full rights and equal opportunities alongside their white peers in American society. Entering this dialogue were a small group of black scholars, some supported by white mentors, who themselves joined the cause of disproving theories of racial inferiority. These theories presupposed that individuals, based on their skin color and Negro bloodline, were incapable of reaching the upper limits of mental ability ascribed to gifted individuals.
It therefore appears to be providential that Martin David Jenkins was born in 1904 was born and by the 1920s was of an age that he may have been aware of early civil rights activists and scholars like Bond and Proctor. Martin was the only son of David W. and Josephine Jenkins. David Jenkins, a very prominent engineer, was the first Negro bridge...
Editor's note: This is the sixth post in Fordham's 2016 Wonkathon. We've asked assorted education policy experts to answer this question: What are the "sleeper provisions" of ESSA that might encourage the further expansion of parental choice, at least if advocates seize the opportunity? Prior entries can be found here, here, here, here, and here.
What course would you have wanted to take in high school if you'd had the chance?
For me, it's economics. I've started many meetings about course access with that question as an icebreaker. The first few times, I even had the "brilliant" idea to drop the responses into a word cloud. But that ended up being a dud when everyone gave different answers and astronomy, law and policy, psychology, photography, geometry, Japanese, physics, and accounting were all the same size.
Cool story, but what's course access?
It is a policy under which kids get access to a range of supplemental courses approved by their states that may not otherwise be available in the schools they attend full-time. Think of it as an evolution from states solely being providers of supplemental courses through virtual programs. The state's role in course access is one of quality assurance...
Editor's note: This is the fifth post in Fordham's 2016 Wonkathon.

Prior entries can be found here, here, here, and here.
Of the many provisions in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the weighted student funding pilot program may have the most profound impact on school choice. By maximizing the money that follows students, including those with high needs, the pilots could lead to the expansion of high-quality choice programs.
The basics of weighted student funding
Weighted student funding—also known as student-centered funding, student-based budgeting, and fair student funding—devotes a base amount of funding to each student. Additional funds (or weights) are then provided for students who need additional services, such as low-income or disabled students and English language learners.
Schools receive funding based on the number of students they enroll and the characteristics of those students. If a student moves from one school to another, the receiving school gets the money designated for that student. This is very different from the vast majority of current funding...
Harriet Tubman will grace the front of our $20 bill—a long-overdue tribute to a woman who lived up to the best of American values. But do most Americans know who she was? Anecdotal evidence and test scores indicate that they don't.
She was not some footnote figure that only historians should know. Tubman repeatedly displayed astounding courage—and achieved heroic successes—in two of our nation's greatest fights for freedom and equality: ending slavery and giving women the right to vote.
But perhaps this widespread ignorance is not our fellow citizens' fault. When would they have learned of Tubman? A nationally representative survey of elementary teachers shows that in from kindergarten to the sixth grade, an average of just 16–21 minutes a day are spent on social studies (and a mere 19–24 minutes on science). Given students' utter lack of preparation, our middle and high school teachers would find it challenging to engage students in meaningful or memorable studies in history, geography, and civics.
It's tempting to blame the elementary teachers. But that's simplistic at best. Elementary teachers are, by and large, doing what they have been taught and responding to the signals sent by federal and state accountability policies.
The heart of this problem is that...
If you caught your pediatrician Googling "upset stomach remedies" before deciding how to treat your child and home-brewing medications over an office sink, you might start looking for a new pediatrician. So how would you feel if you learned that Google and Pinterest are where your child's teacher goes to look for instructional materials?
Well, brace yourself, because that's exactly what's happening. And no, your child's teacher is not an exception. A new study from the RAND Corporation finds that nearly every teacher in America—99 percent of elementary teachers, 96 percent of secondary school teachers—draws upon "materials I developed and/or selected myself" in teaching English language arts. And where do they find materials? The most common answer among elementary school teachers is Google (94 percent), followed by Pinterest (87 percent). The numbers are virtually the same for math.
But don't blame teachers. These data, for reasons both good and bad, reveal a dirty little secret about American education. In many districts and schools—maybe even most—the efficacy of the instructional materials put in front of children is an afterthought. For teachers, it makes an already hard job nearly impossible to do well.
Expecting teachers to be expert pedagogues and instructional...

Prior entries can be found here, here, and here.
Education reformers and policy makers across the nation have spent the months since the Every Student Succeeds Act's (ESSA) passage debating the merits of various approaches to identifying low-performing schools—which indicators, how much weight, indexes or no indexes? We've spent a lot less time debating an even more important question: What are states going to do once those schools are identified? At the Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd) we're hopeful that states will leverage the power of parental choice to spur rapid and dramatic turnaround in their lowest-performing districts and schools.
But in April 2016, we surveyed nearly one hundred of our state education reform partners on their plans for ESSA implementation. Respondents represented legislatures, state departments of education, state boards of education, governors' offices, and advocacy organizations from over thirty states. Among other questions, we asked them which supports and interventions they anticipated their states would provide...

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) includes a new provision championed by Chiefs for Change that will provide SEAs and LEAs with the resources to support direct student services (DSS). Through a 3 percent discretionary state reservation of Title I funding, states will be allowed to work with districts to rethink the use of a portion of Title I funds. The hope is that this will generate innovative approaches to bringing value and service to educators, families, students, and taxpayers. This new authority follows initiatives that Chiefs for Change members have taken in recent years to expand parental choice options as a means of improving student academic achievement. If all states take advantage of the new provision, over $425 million annually would be available to involve families in choosing personalized, outcomes-driven services for their children. These funds are made available in addition to the 7 percent set-aside for school improvement activities....

This edition features cream pies in each scene as MILFs, in the guise of oversexed housewives, do their thing with porn studs while hubby watches.
Exceptional quality and close-ups of the final oozing shots can be considered the icing on the, uh, cake, so to speak. The relaxed anticipation of the women, like when Rhyse Richards discovers that her partner of the hour is Cheyne Collins, is half of the fun. The star MILF scene would have to go to Joclyn Stone, whose unshorn bush and fondness for interracial action with Sledge Hammer is what this series is all about.
Dave Cummings, who leads everyone through each scene, manages to get in some blowjobs during the segments and in the BTS — but who could possibly blame him?

West Coast Row House
San Francisco's Victorian-era row houses are models of efficiency. With more than a dozen crammed onto a single block, they take up little of the landscape while maximizing living space by rising vertically. Row houses' shared side walls reduce both the amount of building materials used and the places where heated or cooled air can leak out; only the front and back walls are exposed to the elements. Framed and sheathed in rot- and insect-resistant redwood harvested from local forests, they hold up well in the foggy city. Instead of shady porches, San Francisco row houses have projecting bay windows that capture sunlight and brighten interiors. While some Queen Anne examples have pitched roofs, most have flat roofs for this snow-free zone. Their high ceilings and double-hung windows promote air circulation. And they are easily adapted for reuse; many have been transformed into apartments.

Honda has officially confirmed that the new Honda Civic Type R will be powered by a 2.0 litre direct-injection turbocharged engine with more than 276bhp sent straight to the front wheels.
During the unveiling of the Honda Civic Sport Tourer at the Frankfurt show the President of Honda Motor Europe Manubu Nishimae revealed the engine size and rough power output although he also said that they still had "two years of solid development work" so that number could increase by 2015.
Due to be launched in the summer of that year, the Civic Type R is being developed under the watch of Japanese engineer Suehiro Hasshi but key members of Honda Germany are being drafted in to help with the ride and handling setup for setting the Nurburgring lap record for a front-wheel drive car. This was set by the Renaultsport Megane 265 and currently stands at just over eight minutes.
Speaking to Auto Express at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Suehiro Hasshi said: "The reason for turbocharging is quite simple. If you look at our competitors they all have between 250-270bhp - to match that kind of output with a naturally-aspirated engine would be very difficult technically, and the extra control and driveability you get from wider torque performance is important. But we do want to keep the Honda character and although this is quite a challenge the new Type R will be the highest revving turbo engine on the market.
"To create a fast lap of the Nurburgring has many requirements but two things stand out. Firstly the long back straight means a high top speed is essential which means good aerodynamics, but also the sheer number of corners means that if you can cut even a tenth of a second at each corner it will add up to make a big difference."
Honda also showed an extended video of the Type R prototype in action on the famous German circuit being tested to its limits by (among others) WTCC driver Gabriele Tarquini and we heard the noise of the turbo engine for the first time and got a look inside the cabin.
It has lost the high-pitched note of the high-revving old twin-cam V-TEC engine, but still sounds sporty with a deeper, throatier rumble. Famous corners like the carousel were included in the video and the in-car footage shows how hard the driver is pushing, but a source from within the company told us that they had already come close to beating the record at the first attempt with this batch of prototypes.
Senior engineer Adrian Killham said however that Honda would not allow the target of the lap record to undermine the car's driveabilty on the road - or indeed its overall package. Which is why the Type R was pictured with its closest rivals from Ford and Vauxhall when it was spied testing.
Suehiro Hasshi also gave us an indication of how long the Type R would be on sale for. He told us: "In terms of timing it is true that the Type R will arrive in the second half of the Civic lifecycle, so will probably only be on sale for two or three years, but that should be enough time to enhance the brand image and boost sales of the standard car."

I'm using Zend, a PHP library, to work with Amazon EC2. I have created my own image (AMI), it's a x84_64 machine (i.e. not the default i386 architecture). I want to launch it programmatically from PHP using Zend. Zend provides a 'run' method to run an AMI (cf. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.service.amazon.ec2.instance.html).
However when I try to run it I get the following exception:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Exception' with message 'The requested instance type's architecture (i386) does not match the architecture in the manifest for ami-faa48e8e (x86_64)' in /usr/local/Q/libs/zend/library/Zend/Service/Amazon/Ec2/Abstract.php:273
How do I run this AMI and tell Zend that it is a x86_64? The documentation doesn't say anything on this.

Monthly Garden Days
Join us for our monthly volunteer days to give our model sites some love! Our water-wise demonstration gardens and food forests in Petaluma, Sebastopol, Windsor, and Cotati can only do their job of inspiring change when they are well maintained. These intimate programs offer the chance to get to know neighbors and staff more closely, learn the hidden secrets of each garden, and soak up the seasons. We'll get our hands in the soil with easy garden maintenance like weeding, mulching, dead heading and planting. We'll also present a plant of the month to satisfy your educational yearnings! We hope you will come grow the community around these special gardens, a few hours at a time.

What Your Friends and Neighbors Are Saying …
Daily Acts is the organization I have dreamed of, resonating with my most deeply held values. I love being part of this community, and knowing that the time and money I donate is having such an incredible impact.
This course (PDC) changed my life, it demonstrated care for people, care for the earth and returning the surplus, and introduced me to life-time friends.
This has been nothing short of a life-changer, something that has already had a big impact on my perspective. Big ripples to come!
Excellent course, I loved the diversity of instructors and course material presented. I'm incorporating many of the concepts into my business practices, especially the ethics and principles. In particular, making the least change for greatest effect.
I wish I had taken this course before I was vice-mayor. Other government officials would certainly benefit from these tools, which can be applied to crafting solutions to the toughest challenges, by taking an integrated approach to doing more with less.
It's really great to see Daily Acts contributing to their community, and also bringing its members together in way they weren't before. Way to go!
Daily Acts spreads kindness, community, wood chips, and "green" education with beneficial effects. Another "sheet mulch convert." Thank you, Daily Acts!
Thank you so much for your work in the community. Your food forest vision and clarity in your organization inspired me in a profound way.
Trathen and his team have a true passion for the work and it really showed. We were able to visit several homes in the area and began to get idea's.
I think it's amazing what you are doing in this county. Because of dedicated citizens like you, we can take care of what we have and whom we have here with us, without intervention and loss of control or local will. That is why I support you.
I have re-imagined my landscape due to the Daily Acts presentations. I have removed my lawns, dug swale, and hope to have a food forest. I am inspired now to implement rain tanks and even more swales in my landscape.
Join Our Work
For us to take on the work that so crucially needs to be done like transforming city lawns to food forests and increasing our community resilience, we need your support.

How clever! These were great as written but I have since tweaked them with taco seasoning and sharp cheddar cheese and served with Taco soup! YUM! I've shared the recipe with a friend who has a catering company and she has gotten rave reviews every time she uses it! Thanks for sharing!
I love them! And we like spicey hot food so I added fresh diced Jalapenos and garlic to the corn muffin mix. I used green and red pepper cups and after baking sliced them into rings and topped with cheese...popped under the broiler and served them at a Superbowl Party....they were the first to go! (Picture is before the cheese and broiler >
AWESOME! Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that just makes you say, WOW! This was one of those for me. DH and I both agreed this was an easy five stars and then some. Easy to make, fantastic presentation, and the peppers added great flavor to the cornbread (and poblanos aren't spicy - even my two-year-old ate this). Leftovers were just as tasty as the first night. I chose not to use pimentos since I don't care for them. I used just three peppers, but this did make the filling overflow slightly; I believe four peppers would be perfect. This was served with another keeper - Chipotle Chicken Skewers With Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce; the two combined made for an exceptional meal! I'll never make corn muffins any other way!
I also used half the recommended pimientos and replaced the other half with diced green chilies. It was EXCELLENT! Very flavorful, but not overwhelming.
Made these tonight. Used 3 large poblano peppers instead of the 6 and found I had just enough muffin batter to fill them. I did bake the peppers for 15 mins at 350 before filling with the batter as I like my peppers on the soft side. Drained out the liquid which pools in the peppers. They were still firm enough when done to pick up. Didn't have the cilantro or the pimento and they still came out great!
We enjoyed these cornbread-stuffed peppers! Easy to make and tasty. I added a little more cheese on top during the last minute of baking. These peppers were really good - thanks for posting!
Yummy! I made this for a brunch, everyone loved it! I did prebake the chilis in the oven for approx 20min until they were slightly soft. Let them cool and used them the next morning for the brunch. Thank you so much for this recipe, will be making it over and over!!!!!!
These are great! A very unusual way to serve cornbread. I've never been a fan of Jiffy, but with all that you've added it's EXCEPTOINAL. Baked them for 22 minutes and tested done, however a couple of them were not completely done way down in the pepper. Wonder how they would work if roasted the peppers slightly before filling . . . might just have to try it the next time! Thanks for sharing Sharon!
What a fun idea! Given the irregular shape of a poblano, they were a bit challenging position on the pan without spilling the mix but I managed to work it out. (Wonder if they could be _nestled_ in salt to provide stability?)Note - don't de-stem; just deseed. Otherwise you leave a hole in the end. My pimiento was only a 2 ounce jar so I added 4 ounces of diced green chiles. The baking time was perfect for me - 15 minutes convection (which would be about 19-20 minutes thermal baked time). Now for the taste - WONDERFUL! Moist and flavorful; no need for butter - just get a bite of the pepper. This was truly a delight to make and eat! Thanks so much for posting this keeper!

I have a machine running Oracle 10g server in windows server 2008. I want to take backup of the database. I also want to take backup of some files saved on hard disk by oracle server that users have uploaded using my website.
I can connect to the Oracle server using sql developer and sqlplus. I can run sql queries on the server.
In order to take backup of database I have to run the command "exp" (this is the only way of taking backup of databases that I know). There might be some other way but there is another problem because of which I must run dos command. That problem is to take backup of files. These files are stored in c:\mydir. The folder mydir is not accessible anyway through web and is not a shared folder.
I have tried running "host " in sqlplus after connecting to oracle server, that is at "sql>" prompt. The command ran successfuly but at local machine, not at oracle server.
Edit: The "host" command is provided by sqlplus and is not an oracle command, means cannot be used in a query. Sqlplus even when connected to remote machine run the "host" command at local machine.
The target is to either make sqlplus run the "host" command at remote machine, Or run the dos command from inside a pl/sql query (independent of sqlplus).

U.S. Immigration Policy Program
U.S. Immigration Policy Program
Recent Activity

Faced with enormous political pressure to stop illegal immigration and to prevent the entry of potential terrorists, the U.S. government has devoted ever more resources to enforcing border policies. It remains unclear, the author argues, whether the efficacy of these programs warrants their costs.
An effective electronic eligibility verification system is an essential component of the U.S. immigration system, but questions as to whether the E-Verify employment verification system should be made mandatory remain. This report examines the strengths and weaknesses of E-Verify, and discusses proposals for reform.
In assessing the implementation, enforcement outcomes, costs, and community impacts of the 287(g) federal-state immigration enforcement program, the report finds that about half of 287(g) activity involves noncitizens arrested for misdemeanors and traffic offenses.
This Policy Brief examines four types of criteria for earned legalization (English proficiency, employment, continuous presence, and monetary fines) in the five major legalization bills proposed by Congress since 2006—and finds that the projected effects differ on the ability of unauthorized men, women, and children to gain legal status.
Notwithstanding the broad consensus on the benefits of highly skilled immigration, the economic role of less-skilled immigrants is one of the more controversial questions in the immigration debate. While less-skilled immigrants bring economic benefits for U.S. consumers, employers, and skilled workers, they impose some costs on U.S. workers competing for similar jobs.
This policy brief examines the legalization debate on both sides of the Atlantic and discusses policy parameters that characterize legalization programs, such as qualifications, requirements, benefits, and program design and implementation.

MSNBC on Thursday night offered a movie trailer-style promo, complete with dramatic music and exciting visuals to tout the "united" Democrats "embracing history." This is quite the contrast to the opening video to last week's Republican National Convention. Kicking off the primetime coverage of the Democratic convention, an announcer intoned, "The baton has been passed... A party stands united."

CNN earned their moniker as the Clinton News Network on Thursday as they awaited the highly anticipated speech to be delivered by Chelsea Clinton at the Democratic National. The America's Choice 2016 panel gushed as they reminisced about Chelsea and were awe struck by her transformation from an "awkward little girl" to "a remarkable young woman." "I sort of feel like all of us are kind of god parents of Chelsea," stated Bill Press. For CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger there was timeless image of Chelsea she couldn't get out of her head.
By Matthew Balan | | July 28, 2016 | 7:12 PM EDT
CNN has clearly favored Democrats during their convention by playing more of their pre-produced videos during its first three days than they did during the entire Republican convention. So far, the liberal network has played 16 video montages and anti-Donald Trump featurettes totaling 47 minutes and 53 minutes of air time — all during their prime time coverage (8 pm Eastern to midnight) of the political confab. By contrast, CNN only played three of the Republican convention's videos, which added up to 14 minutes and 17 seconds of air time over four nights.

Turns out liberals support voter ID after all, as long as they think it hurts "insular" people – what the lefty elite think of conservatives.
In a DNC convention interview with Politico, vulgar comedian Chelsea Handler declared that only people who care about what is going on around the world should be allowed to vote – "you shouldn't be able to vote without a fucking passport!"
By NB Staff | | July 28, 2016 | 6:00 PM EDT
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell made his latest Fox Business Network (FBN) appearance on Thursday afternoon's Cavuto: Coast to Coast and held little back as he called out liberal panelist Richard Fowler for his "preposterous" argument that the need to hype vocal protesters inside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) was much ado about nothing.
By Mira Ebersole | | July 28, 2016 | 4:00 PM EDT
The Democratic National Convention would not be complete without a group of liberal Hollywood celebrities anxiously warning that humans are threatening the planet. Avatar director and eco-hypocrite James Cameron premiered his short environmental film, Not Reality TV, at the convention. In addition to blaming floods, droughts, fires, and other natural disasters on human-induced global warming, the film also criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for calling global warming a "hoax."
By P.J. Gladnick | | July 28, 2016 | 3:31 PM EDT
If Hillary Clinton is elected president she will eagerly bypass Congress if they don't pass legislation she wants and enact them via executive orders.
Hey! Who is making such a horrible slam against Hillary as power hungry to the extent of ignoring Congress? Is this just another wild charge from Donald Trump? Nope! The source of this power abuse charge is none other than the leftwing Vox which recently featured a Hillary love fest disguised as an interview conducted by their editor-in-chief, Ezra Klein. The premature revelation of Hillary truths were made by Dara Lind who might soon find herself explaining that she didn't really mean what she wrote. And her Hillary executive power revelations come in an article appropriately subtitled, Clinton would be the first president to embrace the executive powers her predecessors built.

Pop stars are not always great political stars. Americans for Responsible Solutions - a super-PAC focused on gun control and prevention and founded by former Re. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband, Mark Kelly, hosted one of several events on Tuesday during the Democratic National Convention. One of those events was a concert featuring pop singer Kesha, who used the opportunity to speak in support of gun control....with a few F-bombs.

The Democratic National Committee's Director of Communications, Luis Miranda, is in some serious hot water over revelations of emails that show him criticizing some of the Democratic Party's staunchest pro-amnesty allies as "irresponsible" for their position in favor of blanket refugee status for all border-crossers from Central America.
By Clay Waters | | July 28, 2016 | 2:38 PM EDT
New York Times coverage of Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention could be characterized by an hour-long swoon over Barack Obama's speech -- pardon, his "stirring valedictory address." Also, Democrats were (again!) finding their voice on gun control, Bill celebrated Hillary, TMI-style, and Frank Bruni celebrated the president as "our national poet."
By Maggie McKneely | | July 28, 2016 | 2:35 PM EDT
Only the sex-obsessed writers at Cosmopolitan could try that line out. There are a lot of ways to try to defend the Clintons, but that's not one. In the article The Clintons and the Reality of a Long Marriage, the women's magazine attempts to make the case that the Clinton marriage is actually one that everyone should look up to. Apparently, hating philandering men is no longer a part of the feminist agenda. At least, as long as one's wife is running for president.
By Brad Wilmouth | | July 28, 2016 | 2:31 PM EDT
Appearing as a panel member on Thursday's New Day, CNN Politics Executive Director Mark Preston pronounced that President Barack Obama was "absolutely right" in proclaiming that Hillary Clinton is "more qualified" than either he or Bill Clinton were when they were elected President, as he went even further and declared that "if you are only going to go by the resume and what they have done their whole life, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and many, many, many other Presidents do not have the resume that she has. I mean, that's the bottom line."
By Tom Johnson | | July 28, 2016 | 2:26 PM EDT
They're calling it the feel-good romantic hit of the summer, or at least of the Democratic convention. Bill Clinton's long, granular tribute to Hillary Rodham Clinton had several liberal pundits swooning. Dahlia Lithwick of Slate wrote that it was during this speech that "for the first time…most of us met" Hillary, whom "we have all been following and misunderstanding and cartooning for decades now." Rebecca Traister of New York magazine gave Bill big props for reminiscing about how Hillary turned him on: "One of the roadblocks for women is objectification and sexualization, but when it comes to Hillary Clinton, whose ambition and brains have long rendered her bloodless in the American imagination, hearing her described as an object of desire could feel corrective and bizarrely just. So he did it."
All Charges Dropped Against CMP in Texas; AP Treats As 'Technicality,' Still Insists PP Never 'Sold' Fetal PartsBy Tom Blumer | | July 28, 2016 | 2:14 PM EDT
On Tuesday, Harris County's prosecutor in Texas dropped the remaining criminal charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress. This ended a clearly politically motivated attempt to turn the tables on the pro-life heroes who showed that Planned Parenthood was trafficking in fetal body parts for compensation.
Predictably, the Associated Press did not handle the news well, essentially claiming that the CMP pair weren't prosecuted because of a "technicality," and continuing the myth propagated by Planned Parenthood by presenting as a supposedly indisputable fact that "The organization has said it never has and never would sell fetal tissue."
By Kyle Drennen | | July 28, 2016 | 2:05 PM EDT
Introducing a glowing profile of Hillary Clinton's political career on Thursdays's NBC Today, special correspondent Tom Brokaw fondly recalled the first time he heard of the Clintons: "40 years ago, when I was doing the Today show, I began to hear about this bright young couple down in Arkansas. Everybody was talking about maybe he'll run for president some day and everybody said he's got this terrific wife."

They took to the catwalk several times in the autumn to make their mark as models.

As soon as they got there, Kylie, 15, and 17-year-old Kendall skipped to the end of the catwalk to pose for an artistic photo hand-in-hand.

Kendall and Kylie certainly looked like off-duty models as they headed out for the exciting day.
Kendall sported a distressed black and white bomber jacket over a white top and skinny jeans tucked into sky high black ankle boots.
Blondes have more fun: Snowboarder Torah Bright and Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin looked like they were having a great time together
A night to remember: Toni Braxton and Jay Manuel of America's Next Top Model fame were also at the fashion show
Congratulations: The celebrity models shared a hug after they took their final walk
She's no diva: Kylie did her own mascara as Kris had her lip gloss expertly applied

Kylie held her mother's hand as they strolled out of their hotel, with Kris dressed in an all-black outfit of boat, jeans and clunky motorcycle boots.
Ahead of the show Kendall posted on her blog: 'Kylie and I are in New York right now for the PacSun launch and Fashion Week.
VIDEO Kendall and Kylie share this clip of them walking catwalk with their mom
Full bloom: Doutzen Kroes showed off the full extent of her amazing dress as she entered the event

So elegant: Kylie looked gorgeous in her gown and appeared serene as she prepared to walk in the show
'I'm pumped for the runway show we're doing tonight with our mom, the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show 2013!'
It was a busy day for Kris who earlier on acted as a co-host on The View.
And when host Whoopi Goldberg asked Kris if she wanted to set the record straight about divorce allegations, Kris said: 'We are not getting divorced. Not in a million, bazillion years.'
Getting ready for the big moment: All three Jenner girls were seen chatting to press backstage before getting ready
Bright young thing: Kylie was one stylish 15-year-old in her bold printed jacket
Mom and me: Kendall passed the time en route to the fashion show by taking photos of herself and Kris
Busy time: Kendall and Kylie are also preparing for the launch of their new fashion collection

This has to be the greatest friend of all time.
If more athletes had friends like this as oppose to those who just leach off them they wouldn't go broke. The New York Post has the news of a nest egg for AI that will ensure he won't have to go to the soup kitchen in his later years.
Though Iverson's insolvency was assumed by many when that news broke last month, the New York Post's Peter Vecsey, through "a person with a firm grip on the situation" reports that Iverson has an account worth $32 million that he cannot access until he turns 55 years old that feeds him $1 million annually.
I wouldn't take this as 100% truth because to be honest when your source says they have a "firm grip of the situation" that could just mean they overheard something while playing XBOX.
I hope it is true, because if it isn't that means someone is just trying to put a smoke screen over the fact A.I. has blown all his money.

The bed was very comfortable and the overall experience was excellent.
September 9, 2014
The amenities seemed lacking. The bathroom tissues were cheap and rough like sand paper. The desk was too small for the room (smaller than a card table). The room itself was large enough that there should have been one or two pieces of furniture present (ex: soft chair, writing desk etc.). Many (most) of the public spaces in the hotel were very hot. The air conditioning was clearly not being used to cool most public spaces in the hotel. The continental breakfast was very limited in terms of variety of food items. The eggs and sausage were not very warm. ...

8 Best Fake Boyfriends And Girlfriends In TV/Film
Fake it till you make it, right?
1. Jennifer Aniston
Just Go with It: The only time anyone would ever kind of believe that Jennifer would marry Adam Sandler.
Ba dah bump!
2. George Glass
Poor Jan. So desperate. So underwhelming. Especially when compared to Marcia.
3. George Glass
Not to be confused with Jan Brady's fake beau, George Glass, Kristin Wiig uses the same name when she needs to make Jon Hamm jealous. Not that we blame her.
4. Male for hire
In The Wedding Date, Debra Messing gets herself a male escort to serve as a date to her sister's wedding. It's not a terrible idea, actually.
5. Weird Science
As the tagline of the movie says, "It's all in the name of science." Hot, midriff-baring science.
6. Sofia Reyes's fiance
During the first season of Ugly Betty, Sofia Reyes, (Read: Salma Hayek), pretended to have a fake man in her life.
Why? All for the sake of journalism! She wanted to trap Daniel into marrying her so that she'd have a cover story for the release of her magazine. "From Fling to Ring in 80 Days" was the title, and it was damn entertaining to watch.
7. Jimmy's fake girlfriend
We all have someone we'd like to make jealous, right? Same with Jimmy in Raising Hope, who pretended to have a relationship in order to make Sabrina jealous.
8. Bianca
Yes, even Ryan Gosling needs to pretend to have a lady to love sometimes. That's where Bianca, the doll/girlfriend in Lars and the Real Girl, gets shipped in. Hey, whatever works!

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A Sedgwick County jury is expected to begin
deliberating Monday in a murder case in which a man admitted
placing an 18-month old girl alone near a street _ but he swears he
didn't kill her.
Jonell Lloyd is charged with first-degree murder for the death
of Chavira Brown, whose body was found in an attic last summer in
Lloyd's Wichita home. She was found in two trash bags zipped inside
a sofa cushion, and had bruises across her face.
The 24-year-old testified last week that he placed the girl
outside near the street so he could clean up after his nearly dozen
pit bulls, which had urinated and defecated on the floor. He said
it was to protect the toddler from the dogs.
Lloyd fled and was found three days after Chavira's body was

Add to shopping list
- Put the porcini mushrooms in a bowl, cover with 11/4 cups hot water, then set aside for 30 minutes to rehydrate. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat the butter and half the oil in a large cast-iron pan, add the turkey, and cook over medium heat, turning the pieces frequently, for 5-8 minutes, or until browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil, add the onions, and cook for 6 minutes, or until soft. Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, and rosemary, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add the carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, or until well combined with the vegetables.
- Increase the heat, add the sherry, and allow to boil for a few minutes, stirring continually, while the alcohol evaporates, then pour in the stock. Drain the mushrooms (reserving the liquid) and add to the pan. Strain the soaking liquid, then add to the pan. Return the turkey to the pan, cover, and put in the oven to cook for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Put the self-rising flour, suet, and oregano in a bowl with a pinch of salt, then gradually add cold water (about 2/3 cup) until the mixture comes together and forms a dough. Flour your hands and form 16 dumplings. Add these to the pot for the last 30 minutes of cooking. To serve, sprinkle with the parsley.

Most seed investors use seeds or plants as visual metaphors for what they do, we didn't believe that this was enough to communicate the Student Upstarts message. We saw the relationship between Student Upstarts and the student teams as a sum of efforts, hence the plus sign.

Download Movies Quickly & Easily
Here's a list as well as reviews of the best places to watch free kids cartoon movies online. All of these are places you can go and watch for free. Enjoy!
An okay site, especially if you're looking for a place to find clips of cartoons from Cartoon Network.
Pros: Several clips and some full episodes featuring cartoons from the Cartoon Network.
Cons: Site pages can take a while to load because there is so much going on. You feel like you're doing a lot of searching to find something good. There's not as many full episodes.
The site seemed to have quite a bit to offer but I was pretty disappointed that several of the cartoons were never able to load.
Pros: A pretty good selection of full-length cartoon episodes.
Cons: Several of the videos never actually loaded (though the ads loaded just fine). I was also surprised that there was a "Smallville" add that ran before each cartoon that included a brief scene of girls undressing in a locker room. Though there was no nudity (obviously) it was still something I don't think would be appropriate for kids to be watching.
This is a pretty good site. It's pretty easy to get to the cartoons and they load fairly quickly. Mostly classic cartoons (ex. Bugs Bunny, Popeye)
Pros: Easy to access videos. Full-length videos with out ads. Good source of some of the classics like Bugs Bunny.
Cons: Older videos so it may not appeal to everyone.

I have a blog I am developing:
When I first started to develop this I didn't have the domain reserved, then I spent a while messing with the .htaccess file trying to get it to feed correctly. So I began developing this at another address:
Everything is in place now for me to finish developing it at trainingsyndicate.com. I moved it and most of it worked except one thing. At the bottom of the page, where it says "previous posts" it sends me to the old address, which bombs out. It does this because this address does not conform with the rest of my addresses. the blog still sits at the development directory but I have used .htaccess to redirect the link. The previous posts link has an extra directory in it:
if I delete out the directory of /trainingsyndicate and resend the url I can see the page.
I deleted the blog and reinstalled it to the same tables and nothing changed. I have tried looking through the administrator panel. I can't find the source of the issue.
any suggestions?

The Siege of Pyongyang was a battle fought between the Ming-Korea alliance and Japanese forces during Japanese invasions of Korea. On December 25, 1592, the Ming army assembled by the administrator Song Yingchang and led by the general Li Rusong crossed the Yalu river and after a number of small engagements with the Japanese, they met with Joseon forces and together marched towards PyongYang. According to the letters of Song Yingchang (經略復國要編; Jīng lüè fù guó yào biān) the Ming forces that crossed at the time were roughly 36,000 in strength. The two sides combined for a little over 40,000.
The Japanese forces were led by Konishi Yukinaga and the entire army of the first division. They were roughly 18,000 in strength, and had spent the past few months setting up defenses within the area. However the Japanese forces at the time were stretched thin and their supply lines were overexposed to the numerous insurgents in Korea, a problem made more complicated by the exploit of Yi Sunshin and his navy. Pyongyang was at the very front of their deployment and was in dire supply situation.
Arrival and attempts at negotiations[edit]
The allied forces arrived at Pyongyang on 5 January 1593, at the west end of the Pyongyang.
The Ming had previously sent their diplomat Shen Weijing to start negotiations with the Japanese in the previous months, and he was present in the army as well. He was sent forth again when the army reached the walls to make attempts at parley. Konishi Yukinaga, realizing their own trouble with logistics, was therefore also agreeable to Li's offer for talks.
Over the next couple of days however, the parley turned into chaos as Li Rusong attempted to capture the Japanese leaders sent to the Ming camp by Konishi but failed, and after that the Japanese made a similar offer for Li to enter into the city and talk. Li had originally considered a plan where they would agree and storm into the city and take them by surprise, but at the last minute bailed on the plan and decided to go with a direct assault.[4]
After the barter broke down, there were some initial skirmishes at Mount Morobung and the Japanese also attempted a night raid on the Ming position that failed.[5]
Early in the morning of January 8, Li Rusong ordered his forces to attack; their plan was a three-sided assault, with the primary focus on the west end led by Li Rusong himself.
The southern end was led by Zu Chengxun; his forces were mostly Ming forces disguised as Korean soldiers, this was because the Japanese did not think highly of the fighting abilities of the Koreans, to confuse the Japanese defenders, while the North end was led by Wu Weizhong and his southern troops along with the Korean Monk warriors. Their objective was to take the high grounds on Mt. Morobung just north of the city.[6]
According to Chinese accounts, the Ming forces had fired off poisonous rocket arrows early in the morning (called 毒火飛箭; dú huǒ fēi jiàn) to create a stink cloud in the city and nauseate the defenders (those incendiary arrows were mostly carrying dried excrement) before the full assault, they fired off huge volleys of incendiary rocket arrows into the city along with artillery barrage before the all out assault commenced.
The fighting was fierce on all fronts; on the north end they directly stormed the Japanese position, Wu Weizhong was hit by a bullet to the chest but managed to continue commanding.
On the southern end, the Japanese were confused by the disguised soldiers and thought that the allied forces were not going to actually attack from that side (as the reputation of the Chosen court army was quite poor at this time). However, they were taken by surprise by the army, which was revealed to mostly consist of Ming soldiers and attacked the Japanese's position. Still, as they were attempting to enter the city streets, the Chinese were hit by ambushes and beaten back.
The western end was where the heaviest fighting occurred, Li Rusong's horse was shot from under him and briefly fell into a pit, Li Rumei (Li Rusong's brother) took an indirect arquebus shot to the helmet. Many of the allied generals climbed up the ladders with their men and fought on the walls.[7]
Before noon, with his forces in trouble on all fronts, Konishi decided to pull his men back into the citadel they had recently constructed.
Encircled in the citadel, Konishi realized that the eastern end of the walls were still open, and at night they retreated out on haste and made a dash for Seoul; however as they were attempting to ford the Datung River they were hit by further allied ambushes and artillery resulting in more casualties.
There are contradictions among the different sources on how the Japanese left the city; Ming sources generally state that it was part of the battle plan to leave a part of the city open so the Japanese defenders would be less inclined to fight to the death. A few Japanese sources cite that the ally forces simply would dare come near their fortifications inside the city, while Korean sources are even more confusing, Yu Seong-ryong's Jingborok stated both versions, as first he writes that the Li Rusong ordered the ally forces to not press the attack, and then later wrote that the Korean general Yi Il was punished because Li Rusong was angry that he let the Japanese force slip.,[8] while others said that Li Rusong ordered them not to let the Japanese retreat.
This battle probably saw the largest use of artillery in the 16th century, as the Chinese had amassed an arsenal of 200 pieces of various types of artillery, including rocket arrows, breech-loading cannon and several large caliber "Great General" cannons (Although Song Yingchang's letter claimed that the Great Generals did not reach Pyongyang in time as they had intended). Both armies used state of the art firearms and cannons.

I have just returned from a weeks skiing in La Plagne, staying in Belle Plagne, and had a brilliant time. The conditions were perfect.....plenty of snow, clear visibility and best of all the pistes were practically empty!
I would rate La Plagne as an excellent resort for intermediate and above skiers and snow boarders. I went away with three beginner skiers who required ski school. No complaints with the lesson at all. ESF was used for group lessons and OXYGENE was used for a private lesson.
The only problem came in the afternoon when they went out without an instructor. There are no green runs to speak of but plenty of blue runs. The problem was that many of the blue runs have short sections that were more on the gradient of a red run. This meant that navigating the pistes as a beginner was extremely difficult and restricted them to only a few runs they were confident with.
I snowboard and prior to going read a few reviews complaining of flat areas. This is true however, after a day of having to get off the board in places, a bit of speed off the end of the blue runs got me over most of the flats. This should not put off snowboarders planning to visit La Plagne.
The off piste terrain was excellent. Plenty off piste tree runs to explore as well as safe open off piste areas following pisted runs and chair lifts down the mountain.
La Plagne is huge, however due to the lack of skiers on the slopes I found myself covering all of the La Plagne are as well as a day in Les Arce in a week. The lack of queues at the lifts aided the speed that the area could be covered.
La Plagne has a link to the Les Arcs area. Well worth a visit for more red runs. A discovery lift pass can be purchased which gives you 6 days skiing with one of the days in Les Arcs. If you want to explore the whole of La Plagne one day in Les Arcs is enough.
Depending on what you want from the nightlife you may find it limited. However, if you want a nice meal and a few drinks in the evening there are a few bars and nice restaurants to choose from. There are no night clubs open to the early hours if that is what you are after. Outside of happy hour (1600-1900 hrs) you will be paying 5 euros a beer.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Country Music Hall of Fame legend Waylon Jennings.
Jennings died in his home in Phoenix, Arizona at 64 years of age. He had battled health problems for years, and had to have his left foot amputated due to complications from diabetes.
Jennings and longtime friend Willie Nelson defined the "Country Outlaw" movement of the mid 1970s, as well as mainstream success with hits such as "Good Hearted Woman," "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," and "Luckenbach, Texas."
