Double Your Learning @ LICM … And Save 20%!
Like you, the Long Island Children's Museum seeks out new ways to inspire students and foster curiosity. LICM's 2015-16 Educational Program offers new hands-on learning experiences and exhibits to supplement your classroom lessons and support learning standards. Make the most of the Museum's offerings with a Double Your Learning Day!
Here's how it works:
1 bus fee + 2 field trip options = Best Educational Value!
Select two LICM programs on the day of your visit to maximize the value of your bus investment. Consider adding a live theater performance to your day or a second exhibit exploration to create an unforgettable day for your students.
☛ TIP: For example, create a day-long, immersive science focus with LICM's "STEM to STEAM" field trip, coupled with "The Science of Pirates" theater experience. Or plan a day at the Museum for your pre-readers by combining our "Play & Wonder" field trip with a performance of "Knuffle Bunny," based on the popular Mo Willem's picture book. These are just some of the popular combos available to your students when you Double Your Learning!
BONUS: When you book a Double Your Learning option, your schedule will include a 30-minute lunch break. The cafeteria usage fee will be waived for groups booking this option.
Fee: $16/student; includes guided morning and afternoon programs; cafeteria usage, pre- and post-visit activity manuals.

Obama Lifts 20-Year-Old Ban on HIV-positive U.S. Visitors
Travelers will no longer be asked about their HIV status.
At an event yesterday in which he signed a re-authorization of an HIV-care program named for Ryan White, Obama announced that his office will publish official rules on Monday for lifting the decades-old ban on travel to the U.S. by people with HIV, expecting the ban to be lifted next year. Steps to lift the rule, which many saw as discriminatory and dangerous, were actually implemented last year by the Bush administration. Abolishment of the ban was one of the progressive steps sought by protesters at the National Equality March earlier this month.

The Miami Heat strengthened its grip on the NBA's best record - and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs -- by beating their nearest rivals, the San Antonio Spurs, 88-86 on Sunday thanks to Chris Bosh's 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining.
The Heat holds the head-to-head tiebreaker against San Antonio, meaning they effectively have a four-game cushion over the Spurs with nine to play. In other games, New York closed in on its first Atlantic Division title in 19 years by beating Boston, and Chicago beat Detroit by the narrowest of margins to make it 18 straight wins over the Pistons.
Miami's Bosh scored 23 points, including the winning 3-pointer, as Miami scraped home with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers all sitting out due to injuries.
Bosh finished 3 for 5 on 3s, including the final shot from straightaway in the closing seconds. He let out a loud yell after making the shot and celebrated with teammates when Tony Parker missed his jump shot as the buzzer sounded.
Ray Allen had 14 points for Miami while Tim Duncan had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs, who had won their previous seven home games.
New York's Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the Knicks extended their winning streak to eight games by beating the Boston Celtics 108-89. The Knicks beat the Celtics for the second time this week and won the season series for the first time since 2003-04. New York climbed back into a tie with Indiana in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, which would currently mean a playoff meeting with the Celtics.
NBA results at a glance: New Orleans 112, Cleveland 92; Washington 109, Toronto 92; Chicago 95, Detroit 94; Miami 88, San Antonio 86; New York 108, Boston 89.

Get an ADF Developer Certification - Special Price Promotion
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Nov 24, 2010
Update – March 2011 – the ADF Certification test is now production – information is here and Study guide is here.
Well it's not exactly a Black Friday sale, but in the next few weeks you can get official Oracle certification as an ADF Developer for a considerable discount.
We have started the beta run of the Oracle Application Development Framework Essentials exam. We believe there is going to be a lot of demand for this certification in the upcoming years as more and more IT shops develop their own ADF based applications and uptake the upcoming Fusion Applications from Oracle. Getting an official certification on your resume is probably a smart move for your career.
One note of caution - this is not a trivial exam - you should only apply if you actually have practical experience developing with ADF.
Anyway you can get the full details about the exam and the material you are expected to know here.

Got to Love Cascading LOVs in ADF
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Oct 21, 2010
"You've got to love our cascading LOVs" was the title of an email from Maiko that pointed to a long and complex tutorial that shows how non-trivial implementing cascading lists is when you use ExtJS, Hibernate and Spring. You basically end up writing over 300 lines of code in a mixture of languages including java, javascript and json.
This is indeed one of many areas where you can clearly see the advantages that ADF gives you with a declarative development approach.
Check out this little demo that shows how you build this type of cascading lists with JDeveloper and ADF. The interesting point to note is that a single SQL statement is the only manual line of code you end up writing.
This is why we believe that visual and declarative is good.
By the way, if you prefer written instructions for this, you can use either Steve's Article or this part of the ADF BC tutorial.

Passing Parameters to ADF Application through the URL
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Oct 06, 2010
A common scenario, especially for people who are creating ADF applications that extend or integrate with other systems, is the need to call an ADF page and pass some parameters to it.
For example, suppose you are in Oracle E-Business Suite and you are looking at a department and you want to invoke an ADF page that will show you more details about this specific department.
To achieve this you can expose bounded taskflows with a URL and define parameters that the taskflow will accept on the URL line.
In the following demo I show how to create a taskflow that shows a filtered VO, and then how to call this taskflow using a URL and pass the parameter that controls the filtering.
Update - in some cases you don't need a full taskflow for this. Here is an entry that shows you a simpler approach if you just need to reference the parameter in the page itself.

Working with the af:iterator component
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Oct 04, 2010
I recorded a quick little demo that shows the basic way to use an af:iterator.
In this case the request was to dynamically create a tab on the page for each record in the table.
Using the iterator component allows me to loop through the records in the table and create the tabs as needed and show the data for each department in the tab.

Using ADF with PeopleSoft - Web and Mobile Clients
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Oct 01, 2010
One of the areas that got a bit more attention this year at Oracle OpenWorld is the usage of Oracle ADF to build new interfaces to existing applications and for Oracle Apps Unlimited specifically.
The basic idea is that you can access data and functionality from your existing applications and develop either rich web user interfaces or interfaces for mobile devices using JDeveloper and Oracle ADF.
Here is a little demo that I did in one of my sessions showing how this works when accessing a Web service exposed by Peoplesoft.
By the way - if you want a more native looking iOS application you can use the skining capabilities - see the way it is done in this demo with EBS.

Delay Method Execution When Using ADF Binding
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Aug 05, 2010
When you bind a method to an ADF page and also include the results of the method on the page , by default ADF will try to execute the method when the page displays so the results can be populated.
However in many cases you actually want to delay this execution until you actually provide some parameters to the method.
You can do this by playing around with the value of the refreshCondition property of the executable binding.
In the video below I show how to expose an EJB method that accepts parameters in a JSF page, and how to show the results on the same page.
Then I show how to prevent the initial method execution if there is no parameter being passed to the method.

AM Service Method - Simple Demo
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Jul 29, 2010
About once a week I find myself pointing people to the information in the Fusion Developer Guide about the usage of AM Service Method.
This is usually when people try to find out how to access view objects from a backing bean, or even worse when they try to find out how to access HTTP objects from their ADF BC layer.
So beyond pointing to the doc on AM service methods, I recorded a very short and simple demo to show the basics.

This is totally driving me crazy!
Many people state they use
$images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . $post->ID );
foreach( $images as $imageID => $imagePost )
echo wp_get_attachment_image($imageID, 'thumbnail', false);
and apparently it works great
I personnally have
foreach($myposts as $mypost)
$imgs =& get_children('post_parent='.$mypost->ID.'&post_type=attachment&numberposts=1&post_mime_type=image');
if (empty($imgs))
echo '... default pic';
foreach($imgs as $attachment_id => $img)
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment_id, "thumbnail", false);
which is basically the same, but whatever parameter I send to wp_get_attachment_image_src as size (mostly "thumbnail" but it is said to be the default so I shouldn't need to pass it), I ALWAYS get the original picture (not resized)!
And I have checked, the resized picture exists, it is just not fetched
Nobody else seems to have the same problem which is just so infuriating...
I could do it by adding myself the dimensions to the result (from toto.jpg to toto234x104.jpg) as it was before (the site has just been upgraded from an older version) but I don't understand why this wouldn't work as nobody else reported this problem
The previous version of the site had "iMax Width" and "Resize and Save", I got rid of both of them, I tried to make a new article with an attached picture in case it was them storing the previous data in a different way, but it is exactly the same
Anyone has an idea of what is wrong?

Parking at my school is pretty good. Every student that drives and buys their permit to park on campus has their own parking stall. Parking off campus can be a little tricky, though. The roads are kind of small and many people park on the side of sidewalks, so it can be difficult finding parking if you are trying to avoid paying for it. Having a car on campus is a lot more convenient for places you want to go that aren't nearby. It is a lot more convenient than having to catch the bus everywhere you go.
Parking on the street is free, but trying to find a spot is the challenge. It can even be difficult to find spots in permit parking, as well.
Expensive permits make for student and staff inconvience. both park a mile away for spaces are left unfilled for payees.
The parking at school is okay. But they enforce permits like crazy. If you plan to bring a car make sure to buy your permit soon. They give you a warning followed by a fined of 25 after then every violation after is 35.
Parking is hard to find for free, you can buy a spot for $100-$200/quarter.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Unlike many universities, freshmen at Seattle Pacific are allowed to have cars on campus. A permanent parking spot at a student's residence costs $65 per quarter, unless the student lives in Emerson Hall where a quarterly parking spot will put students out $85 because they have a secured lot sub-level. However, there are ways around this, if you're willing to work at it. For example, campus is virtually surrounded on all sides by residential neighborhoods, so if you don't mind walking a little, you can save yourself some green by parking there instead. It's the same story for commuters; $65 for a quarter's privileges in parking. The University offers incentives for students who reduce emissions by carpooling, so if you travel with two students, the cost is cut in half. If you travel with three students, the fee is waived completely. Parking costs are also reduced for students who ride motorcycles or scooters.
Having a car at SPU is a luxury, not a necessity. Many students don't bring their cars to college until they move off campus during their third year. Residents of dorms get the most for their money in terms of parking because they have a designated spot solely for their use. Commuting is more cutthroat because if you don't get to class on time or happen to have class at a popular time, the parking lots fill up and you'll likely have to park on the street anyway and hoof it to class. Parking citations for vehicles that are registered with Safety and Security on campus will be recorded on your student account. The first infraction is a warning; the fine goes up with each citation and it gets added to your tuition payment.

8/10 Maggie Staff review, 18 January 2007Now some shouting from THE INFANTS with "friend paste 7" on Tigertrap records. Someone's given the gifted one an electric guitar, the noisy one a drum kit and the rest of them way too much sugar (.. cross between Melt Banana and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) says Phil from his high chair... I'm wearing a nappy . Its all chaotic jerky stuff but the group shouting is so infectious it makes the hairs stand up on your arms. It's like when someone is so enthusiastic that you just get pulled along.. like skinny dippin' in the sea in Scarbourgh .. or religion... Phil's loving it .. we all loving it!!! makes you want to drop a cake on your head.

April 20 - May 14, 2016
A wonderful comedy from the Obie Award-winning author of Circle Mirror Transformation. It's Body Awareness Week at Vermont's Shirley College, and partners Phyllis and Joyce, and their possibly autistic son Jared, are rocked by a visiting photographer and his 'male gaze.' As sexuality, identity, role modeling and political-correctness get stirred up, the results are both touching and hilarious.
by Martin Sherman and Nick Enright; based on the life
and songs of Peter Allen
Directed by Justin Amellio
June 15 - July 16, 2016
Born in a small town in the Australian outback, Peter Allen made his entertainment debut at the age of 5, was later was discovered by the legendary Judy Garland, and married her daughter Liza Minnelli. As his career skyrocketed, Allen wrote dozens of hit songs (one of which won an Oscar), and performed to adoring, sell-out crowds at Radio City Music Hall. But he also struggled with his sexuality, lost a lover to AIDS (which would later claim him as well), and gambled his career on what would be a notable Broadway flop. Allen's extraordinary life eventually became a major musical, first in Australia and later on Broadway and around the world. RTP's production will mark its mid-Atlantic debut!
In addition to its theatrical productions, RTP will continue its staged reading series, and present cabaret artists, films and offer opportunities for rentals by other companies.
Subscriptions are on sale now; individual tickets go on sale four weeks prior to each opening night. Prices range from $135-$150 for the six-play season.

this should be done in some minutes:
the distribution of players to teams at creating a online-game is at the moment f.e. for a 6-player map: 1,2,3,4,5,6
this should be changed to 1,1,1,2,2,2 because that is what usually gets played.
it also solves a common mistake i made in hosting my 1st onlne-games: i forgot to put the CPU-players in one team and we played f.e. 1,1,1,4,5,6 so the CPUs started to fight each other which took me 3 games to realize (which we all easily won ;)

AbstractNASA Exploration vehicles require improved technologies for passive thermal insulation for zero boil-off of cryopropellants during extended LEO and lunar surface missions. Vehicles such as the Earth Departure Stage and Orion must be capable of multi-day orbital operation with minimal cryopropellant loss, and the Altair Lunar Lander must have minimal cryopropellant loss over a six month mission on the lunar surface. Quest Product Development, teaming with Ball Aerospace, proposes an innovative advanced insulation system, Wrapped-IMLI, which could provide high performance thermal insulation for cryogenic feed lines. Wrapped-IMLI is a multi-layer system using proprietary micromolded polymer spacers to precisely control layer spacing and reduce inter-layer heat conduction. IMLI versions of this concept, for cryotanks, have been proven with a measured thermal conductivity of 8.8*10-5 W/m-K, 37% lower heat leak than conventional MLI. Preliminary research indicates W-IMLI could provide excellent thermal insulation for cryo-feed lines. Propellant boil-off losses are directly influenced by the MLI, which is the biggest heat leak in cryogenic propellant storage. It is known that MLI insulation for cryogenic propellant feed lines is much less effective than MLI for tank insulation. A Ball Defense Program study indicates the heat leak through spiral-wrapped MLI into lines is up to 10 times worse per area than tank MLI. Better insulation for cryo-feed lines is an important enabling technology for NASA Exploration vehicles. In this Phase I project we would model, conduct a trade study on thermal requirements for NASA spacecraft cryogenic feed lines, design W-IMLI, fabricate a prototype and measure thermal performance.

We have a database intensive Java application. The DB we use is SQL Server 2008.
We are thinking of shifting our Java application to a 2-3 node load-balancing cluster. We have frequent application feature additions/bug fixes (and hence new releases). Whenever any database change is not involved in a release, we could probably update the Java application by taking one node at a time from the cluster for maintenance and deploying the newer application on it.
However, sometimes we make releases that involve updating the DB. (We run scripts and stored procedures that add, remove or update data on the DB.) These operations sometimes require about an hour. Is there a way we can handle this in some way so that we don't have to take the application down during this period of updating the DB?
Can any type/configuration of clustering help in this situation? Is any kind of solution possible where in we have the DB on 2 servers (with mirroring or something) and we take one server offline for our update process and when update is over, we bring the server back online and it is updated with the changes that took place since it was taken down from the other server?
I am new to clustering (and more so to SQL Clustering). So pardon me if the above paragraph amuses you or sounds awkward.
Thanks for your answers.

Re: Willie Classen 'Forgotten Warrior'
It actually goes back further than that.
Willie Classen was knocked out by John LoCicero back in April 1979.
That bout was a brutal war, as Willie took an enormous amount of head
blows in that bout. He was stopped in the 8th round.
The punishment that he received was so bad, that the New York State Athletic
Commision put him on indefinite suspension. And in September his license had expired.
To get re-instated, Willie Classen would have to undergo a neurological exam.
Enter Mickey Duff. On October 6th, The matchmaker was seeking a
fill-in opponent for Tony Sibson for a fight in England on October 8th.
Willie Classen's manager, Marco Minuto, accepted the fight on 2-days notice.
The British Boxing Board approved Classen as an opponent, without even
checking to see if he had a New York State Boxing license.
Needless to say, Willie performed poorly, and was stopped in the 2nd round,
after being dropped to the canvas 3 times. Questions of Classen's health
surrounded that fight, as seemingly mediocre punches dropped him.
Classen later complained of headaches and double-vision.
The result of that bout was never reported (as some say) to the New York
State Athletic Commision, who would have suspended Classen for fighting
abroad without a valid boxing license.

AbstractEngine component fatigue life prediction is based upon material conditions such as temperature, stress and exposure time, all of which are induced by system and flight cycle usage. With increasing demands on weapon systems to perform a greater variety ofmissions like those envisioned for JSF and UAVs/UCAVs, asset usage and mission tracking are becoming crucial for life assessment. Concurrent pressure for system reliability and readiness further accentuates this requirement, not only from a deterministic,but a probabilistic basis as dictated for overall fleet management. The capability to reduce raw fleet duty cycle data into information usable to both designers and maintenance planners is essential. In Phase I, IAC has developed a system for efficientretrieval, analysis, and graphical visualization of data recorded during the aircraft missions. The system is built on the Matlab platform that provides a unique extendible and open architecture for analysis of mission data. In Phase II the software formission data analysis will be further developed to provide a comprehensive extendible framework useful not only for F18 aircrafts but also for other fixed wings as well as other aircrafts of interest to the Navy. This project has a variety of benefits. Itwill provide not only a unified framework for the analysis of vast amount of data that is currently collected during flight of military aircrafts, but also provide a means for more accurate estimation of remaining useful life of engine components andsubsystems on the basis of real mission data. This will result in reduced maintenance costs and down time of aircraft. IAC is under contract with the US Army and Air Force to develop condition based monitoring technologies for turbine engines and aircraftand our proposed technology can be directly applied to this work

Hey TF, Sick fucking shit eaters are nasty as fuck. This faggot eats turds, wtf is the world is coming to with these fags. This stupid queer needed to be exposed, FULL on face shot so EVERYONE can see this homo for the turd gobbler he is. Got some more shots of him sucking up some of his own cum. Homo is a human waste dump. He belongs in a fucking garbage can or a sewer festering with rest of the human waste. Hahahahahahaha,
WTF so disgusting all those fag eating shit…. im a stupid baby but im not that worthless.. i will send him my shitty diaper to make him lick it ha ha ha
I'm a sick faggot who also eats shit. I'd like to kiss this guy while some straight fag-basher pukes in our faces. My favorite thing to do is sit in a filthy mens room at some truck stop and beg the REAL men to please sell me their shit. If they do then I love to make a big deal of eating it while skinheads, fag-bashers and married men watch me. Sometimes they threaten to kill me or split my skull. That only makes me love them more.
So glad this doesnt show up on a certain search engine!

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material.

The "body-ready" Vitamin B12 in this formula is offered in a convenient nugget dosage from which is also suitable for vegetarian.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, for adults, take one (1) nugget daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner; to be placed between the cheek and gum, under the tongue (sublingually) or chewed.

I was introduced to Solgar Methylcobalamin in a healthfood shop in London. The very knowledgeable naturopath working in the vitamin and supplement section explained how methylcobalamin was the most efficient/available form of supplementary B12 for the human body. He was right. Since taking it I have not needed an injection. Australia no longer stocks it so a Google search introduced me to iHerb.com who stocked the product at a very reasonable price and shipped it from the US to Australia at a very competitive rate. Thank you.
After I ran out of the Deva brand of B12, I needed something just as good and small in size. Solgar has a winner here. These little nuggets fit perfectly under the tongue and taste great too. And, as you may or may not know already, this is best form of B12 you can buy next to an injection.
Taste good. Will order again.

These are definitely the best vitamin B12 tablets I've tried. They are small and gluten, wheat and dairy free. When I take these, I have no need for vitamin B12 shots. I no longer take these every day, but if I need an instant energy boost, I put one under my tongue.
Very good

High quality, high potency and good taste
The BEST B12 you can find on iHerb
Posted by 4630562692623615739 on Jun 13, 2016
Bought it for my grandma who got an injection of 1000mcg B12 from her doctor at the hospital. She felt better after the injection and requested me to buy her some. This is the best one on iHerb so far as this B12 is extracted from Methylcobalamin, which is good for people who lost the ability to digest and remove toxics from intakes. Other brands and Solgar B12 are extracted from another way which could be toxic for elderly people. My grandma thanks me for buying this for her and now she is energetic again. By the way, she is almost 80 years old. If you find my review useful, please give me a thumbs up. Thanks!
Great absorbtion!
Posted by 5336396594476568815 on Jun 07, 2016
I've bought this product after using, for several years, sub-lingual cyano-cobalami B12 supplement from Solgar. After reading that Methyl-coblamin is easier for the body to absorb, I switched to it. I always had a low level of B12 in the 200 range. After I switched to this B12, and used it for about two months, I had checked my B12 level and it was nearly 500! I am so happy with it. I recommend it to everybody.
Gives a good cognitive energy boost
Posted by Basanga on May 26, 2016
I suffer from post encephalitic chronic fatigue, taking a couple of these a day really helps give me a noticeable energy boost and lifts some of the brain fog I've suffered with these past few years. The low dosage means you can adjust how much you take per day specifically for your needs, and for the most part B12 is safe as it's water soluble, so any excess gets excreted when you urinate. This is a must have for anyone with chronic fatigue and brain fog. Don't forget to fulfil all your cofactors first though, especially folate.

I doubled the recipe..it came out GREAT ! Everybody at the Potluck loved it !! While simmering, I added some salt, sugar and add'l chipotle powder to taste. Yummy!
I needed a simple recipe for pork but one that didn't produce a super sweet taste. I made this and the pork turned out fantastic. To be honest with you I will never use any other recipe now. I went to make it a 2nd time and realized I had not rated it. I was worried at first that the spices would be too strong but they weren't at all. This is a great recipe for pork to use for any mexican food. Thank you for posting this keeper recipe I will use over and over again! ADDITIONAL NOTE: The only change I make it I use 1/8 teaspoon of the cayenne. If a lot of cayenne is not to you liking try eliminating it or put only this little bit. I can't tolerate super hot food. Without so much cayenne for us it's a 10 star recipe!
Unfortunately - it was a no go in our house. Fed 12 people following directions 100% tonight and only two ate it ( 4 yo andf 8 yo), others just pushed everything around their plate, trying to be polite :( Slightly red faced as it was the inlaws...

New Ratings App Takes On a Chef
Good news for fans of Mario Batali, the orange clog-wearing superstar chef behind award-winning restaurants, various cooking shows and a New York City high-end food palace. He has been app-ified.
Now foodies can follow his recommendations on a new Google Ventures-backed ratings iPhone app called Stamped that went live yesterday.
The app works like this: Upon signing up, users are provided with 100 stamps which they use to "stamp" restaurants, bars, films and other items that they approve of. This being social media, the ability to follow friends, and their stamps, is baked into the technology. Users access a map to see stamps nearby.
The makers of Stamped recruited high-profile tastemakers such as Mario Batali to sprinkle their own stamps through the experience, lending a little A-List oomph.
For Batali, an avid Twitter user with over 192,000 followers, signing up with Stamped was a no-brainer.
"People are always asking me (via Twitter, Facebook, etc.) for recommendations, like the best place to eat, shop, etc." said Batali in an email to Digits.
What also attracted him as a business owner was the way Stamped works. Users only stamp things they like. There is no numerical rating system. "Stamped is all about the positive, so if your business is Stamped, you're looking good," he said.
As followers on Twitter are already well aware, the man is not afraid to share his opinions on, well, anything. So far Batali has seeded the app with 20 stamps.
Besides stamping national dining favorites such as New York's Spotted Pig–"Best vibe and best pigs ear salad together make for a unique and mellifluous merriment opportunity!!!"–Batali has stamped an album and even a vintage car.
Stamped founders Bart Stein and Robby Stein, no relation, said that Batali's social media chops were what first attracted them. They asked Batali to contribute. Batali's stamps are featured on one of the app's opening screens. They also made Batali an advisor to Stamped. Batali told Digits that he now owns some shares in Stamped.
Other high profile contributors include Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers and fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff.

If you're like me, you were sorely disappointed that NBC withdrew Flotrack's coverage of the Prefontaine 10k last night. I watched the broadcast today on NBC, and still did not see the 5k or 10k. They didn't even have the time to show the entire 2-mile race, or to even cover the new high school record set by Lucas Verzbicas.
We love our sport. We think it deserves prime time coverage and media hype. Maybe if enough of us raise our voices, NBC will hear a call for announcers who can equal fans' enthusiasm for the most widely loved sport in the world.

The Event Program
- Movie presentation of Honor Flight
Honor Flight is a heartwarming documentary about four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Volunteers race against the clock to fly thousands of WWII veterans to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed for them in 2005, nearly 60 years after their epic struggle.
The trips are called "Honor Flights" and for the veterans, who are in their late 80s and early 90s, it's often the first time they've been thanked and the last trip of their lives. The 24-hour journey is full of surprises that deeply move all who are involved. It's uncommon for World War II veterans to talk about the War, but the Honor Flight experience brings their stories out. Many veterans say, with the exception of their wedding day and the birth of their children, the trip is the best day of their life.

I am 17 weeks pregnant with our fourth child. We had the Harmony screening test at 13 weeks. It came back perfectly and our risk of Down syndrome was said to be 1 in 10,000. At my last Drs. visit I had the AFP test done to screen for neural tube defects. I did not know that they were actually running the quad screen that looks for Downs, trisomy 18, and 13. The genetics counselor called to tell me that according to the quad screen we have a 1 in 20 chance of this baby having Down syndrome. She said that they ran this test by accident because someone "checked the wrong box" but the results are accurate.
I am so confused. We were told that the Harmony screen was 99% accurate. How could the results be so drastically different? No one at the Drs can give me any answers except to say that the only way to know for sure is do an amino. We are scheduled for a level 3 sonogram and possible amino on Tues.
I am not scared of being the mommy to a baby with Down syndrome. I am only frightened because we have a seven year old daughter who has a rare genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis complex. Our sweet Avery girl has benign tumors in her brain, kidneys, heart, and on her skin. She has daily seizures, autism, and at 7 years old functions much like an 18 month old. I love her beyond words and can't imagine her any other way, but her life is filled with many day to day challenges. How will I be the mommy to not one but TWO babies with special needs?
We also lost a baby last May at 17 weeks. Our little boy only measured 14 weeks in gestation, but they could not determine why we lost him. Now I wonder if these test results have any connection to why we lost our little boy.
So many questions. Sorry so long.

Whole Wheat Waffles
Serves 6
30 minutes or fewer
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 12.3-oz. pkg. silken firm tofu
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
Serves 6
30 minutes or fewer
I just happened to have a package of tofu, so I mixed up the batter as set forth in the recipe, with the exception of using canola oil instead of olive oil and regular whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour. The recipe makes a very light, good-tasting waffle, not at all what I expected from whole wheat flour, but I had to use a LOT more water to make it pourable. It filled up my oversized rectangular waffle maker three times and had to be cooked for six minutes instead of five. So I'll be dividing the recipe by three for my purposes.James - 2016-01-28 23:57:15
I didn't have any tofu on hand, so I used 2 T of flaxseed instead. With a little bit of maple syrup (the real stuff) and some fresh berries on top, these were absolutely delicious. My three-year old ate three of them. I put the rest in the freezer so we can enjoy at a later date. Looking forward to trying the recipe with tofu once I've gone grocery shopping. Thanks!Amber - 2010-07-07 12:06:29
I've been waiting to try a recipe that contained tofu, I know that tofu does not have a delicious taste to it, but ill use the advice with the warmed applesauce or I'll try ratatouille, mushroom sauce or creamed spinach. Thank you.April - 2010-03-29 08:19:39
This is a great and easy recipe. 4 star in my book. We make it often.Julie - 2009-04-18 11:03:31
This recipe was a complete disaster. After cooking for twice as long as regular waffles, they remained mushy in the middle and too crispy on the outside and majorly stuck to my nonstick waffle iron, even with cooking spray.Jeni - 2011-11-14 19:10:28

First of December by DrewHopperWatch

Seeing though I'm a Sagittarius and today was the first of December, I thought I'd ride my bike to my favourite spot. There's just something about this beach that makes me feel wonderful, rain hail or shine.

Mind if I use this for a dramatic reading?
Gorgeous! You've done a lovely job on this!
Great capture Drew!
Lovely colors, nice atmosphere
This is such a wonderful shot.
Lovely done Drew! I love the shutter choice!
another stunner Drew! I see why this goodlooking rocks and beach are attractive.
Beautiful spot. Wonderful capture.
It's a fine shot. There's nothing wrong with it, but somehow it's just not that fantastic. I think that the white blurred water doesn't really fit the amazing sky. It feels like an exposure this long didn't really match the scene.
Great mist. Looks awesome
woot woot sagittarius! i turn 19 on the 3rd! gorgeous shot!what was your shutter speed if you can recall?
hi drewyboy, your country has so many beautiful places... this beach make me feel like heaven, no stress no work no cares.... like a private world.
great image mate
I am glad you went there it is lovely to behold..and when is your birthday, and how old are you if I may ask?
13th and I will be 20
Read some of the comments and agree with some of the sentiments on the comp. At first glance it seems strong but the issues brought up above do have some merit. Maybe stepping left and panning back to the right to keep that rock/line in the bottom right. Very cool place though
Yeah, few people have mentioned that and I'd have to agree.. I have a few other compositions from that shoot. Will have a look later on
I love it !!
Not feeling the composition much on this one, left side is a little empty, and just doesn't compare to your last dreamscape. Well exposed shot though, great looking clouds in the sky.
stunning, did you do manipulation with ps or something or is this just more created with your cam
It's all achieved behind the camera. The use of a longer exposure creates that silky smooth effect on the water. Glad you like it
If you're refering to the mist like effect on the water, it's using a long exposure.
Powerful composition with the rocks, great sky.
I am also a Sagittarius
It is a beautiful beach, nicely done.
