What are some foods to eat before a game that will give you energy and help you do well??? But mostly what are foods to give you energy before a game??
"Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better, and your better is best." ~Tim Duncan
* "Dare to be great." *
"Hard work, a positive attitude, confidence, and a smile are the keys to success."
Basketball is life....#14
I would recommend granola bars hope this helped
You want to eat some carbs, but not to much of them because that will slow you down. Carbs give you energy to burn, think pasta or a sub.
Nothing with sugar, red 40 and yellow 5. So fruits water and simple sandwiches. Nothing heavy or greasy like pizza or cheesesteak.
i like to have a banana before i play it gives you energy and helps you focus also i think that speghetti is supposed to be good to give you energy as well, NO SUGAR FOODS OR POP!
eat a lot of protean. I like peanut butter. also eat lots of ruit.
I've had pizza, a sub, and sometimes peanut butter crackers.
Bananas are great. Have a 8oz pre-game protein shake at least 30 mins prior to your game. I also do a sugar free energy shot or drink, usually Xyience Xenergy because they have great flavors and no sugar in any of them. If it's the drink you can have half pre-game and finish it off during half time. It's loaded with B vitamins which promote the production of energy. Don't worry, no crash because there is no sugar.

On Tuscolas next possession, Davis put the game away for good with his big interception return.

New Zealander Chris Pollock has been named in the 18-man
referee team for next year's Super Rugby competition.
Pollock was sidelined by a hip injury during the latter part
of the season, but has undergone surgery and has been given
the all-clear to pick up the whistle again in 2013.
Sanzar's announcement today includes five referees new to the
Super Rugby circuit, including Argentine Francisco Pastrana,
who controlled his first Super Rugby match this year.
The team includes the Southern Hemisphere's top performers -
Craig Joubert, Steve Walsh and Pollock.
"The recent form of some of our referees in the test
environment has given us an excellent senior group within the
team, and we have been able to include a healthy number of
young referees," Sanzar game manager Lyndon Bray said.
"They have been selected with an eye to the future, both for
Super Rugby and test rugby."
Along with the Argentine Pastrana, Australia's James Leckie
has been recalled to the squad, while Rohan Hoffman (a former
professional rugby player), Jason Jaftha from South Africa
and Nick Briant from New Zealand will get their first taste
of Super Rugby.
Super Rugby referee team for 2013:
Craig Joubert, Jaco Peyper, Jonathan Kaplan, Lourens van der
Merwe, Stuart Berry, Jason Jaftha (South Africa)
Chris Pollock, Glen Jackson, Garratt Williamson, Jonathon

Cut the Rope: Experiments
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Cut the Rope: Experiments is a physics-based puzzle game that follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessor -- the original Cut the Rope. The game is, if possible, even more charming and still features the loveable monster "Om Nom" who's willing to eat all the candy you can get to him, via an intricate set of ropes, bubbles, and levers. The game's not hard to learn and is very forgiving, though there is a bit more consumerism in this version.
What kids can learn
- physics
- gravity
- motion
Thinking & Reasoning
- solving puzzles
- logic
- prediction
Engagement, Approach, Support
Om Nom hasn't lost any of his charm in this entertaining sequel. If you played the original, you won't have any trouble getting into the groove here. Newcomers also will soon be hooked.
There's always more than one way to complete a level, and kids are encouraged to experiment until they find the solution that earns the most stars.
The game ramps up slowly, so players get plenty of time to adjust to the mechanics; they can skip a level if they fail too many times. Players can opt in to Game Center to track their scores and, for some games, challenge friends.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
Kids swipe the screen with their finger to cut dangling ropes that hold candy so that it falls into the mouth of Om Nom, the cute monster that stars in the app. Gameplay requires precision and occasionally quick reflexes -- especially since new challenges like balloons, blowers, spikes, and electrical currents are quickly added to the basic rope-cutting formula. Challenges become progressively harder as the levels progress.
Is it any good?
Om Nom hasn't lost any of his charm. And CUT THE ROPE: EXPERIMENTS proves that developer ZeptoLabs hasn't lost any of its magic. Is this more of the same gameplay as the original Cut the Rope? Sure. However, there are some new mechanics, like a suction cup, but if you played the original, you won't have any trouble getting into the groove here. That's not a bad thing, though, if you've completed the original (and all of its add-ons). There's a thin plot about Om Nom being examined by a genial scientist, who encourages and congratulates the player as you progress. But at its heart, this is a game that uses physics and puzzles wonderfully together and proudly carries on the legacy of its predecessor.
Families can talk about...
Connect gameplay to the physics of everyday life, such as the effects of gravity on heavy items vs. floating objects such as bubbles.
Conduct real-life experiments using objects of different weights connected to string and observe how motion affects them.

I run a e-commerce site for a client.
When people order a product, they enter all their info, basically create an account while checking out.
Some customers have mentioned getting the WP Dashboard & thinking they have ADMIN credentials because its not a normal instance for an E-commerce site.
So how can I disable the dashboard/account for new people checking out on the website?

DETROIT -- Jay Cutler's face told the story.
For a guy used to losing, he sure doesn't know how to enjoy a meaningless win.
The once-celebrated, much-maligned quarterback was walking off the field after a four-touchdown season-ending victory over the vaunted 2-14 Detroit Lions, with a familiar dour expression, when he turned to acknowledge a gesture or a kind word of some sort.
It looked as if someone told him "Nice game" or "7-9 is almost a winning season!" Cutler, the president of the Chicago chapter of Veterans of Metaphorical Losing Wars, just gave that tried-and-true sarcastic sneer, like it didn't really matter anyway. Hey, no one's ever accused the guy of being a sphinx out there.
You want to muss up his hair and say, "Come on, Jay, enjoy this one. You don't beat Detroit every day!" But his sneer was right on in this case.
Cutler was asked later if the team's mind-blowing two-game winning streak was a cause for optimism going into the offseason.
"No," he said evenly. "We didn't accomplish our goals. There's still a lot of work we have to do."
The first thing is to figure out who will be coaching him next year. Cutler, like the rest of his teammates, has no idea what's going to happen this week or next. He just has to wait and see.
"I don't know," he said. "I was in a situation in Denver where we didn't expect much change, and there was a complete overhaul. You just don't know."
After the game, no one cared about a 37-23 win over Detroit and Daunte Culpepper. Understandably, embattled coach Lovie Smith wasn't in the mood to predict the future.
"Right now," Smith said of his staff, "today all we're concentrating on, as much as anything, is our big win."
Smith would go on to make more important, more honest assessments in his postgame presser, but he lost me for a second there. I never thought I'd have to pull out a dictionary to define something a football coach said, but I had to check: Did I know the meaning of the word "big"? So like any reporter, I checked it out.
big -- adjective 1. Something accomplished that was completely unexpected and worthy of reflection. Example: Beating the hapless Detroit Lions is a big victory, if you're a Pop Warner team.
Sorry, Lovie; this win wasn't big. Houston scoring 21 unanswered points to beat New England to stay alive for a playoff berth? That's big. Beating Detroit is expected if you're breathing. Heck, beating Minnesota wasn't big. It wasn't, as Devin Hester said in all seriousness, "the starting point for our successful end of the season." This wasn't the final play of the fourth quarter of a winning game. Beating the Lions was like finishing off a 44-7 loss with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Before this game, an expected positive end to an unexpected dreadful season, all I could think of was "It's all over but the shoutin'." This game had little meaning aside from avoiding what would have been a fitting end.
And surely if the McCaskeys are going to make changes, Papa Bear willing, neither of these past two weeks should matter much to their decision.
Winning these last two isn't a harbinger for next season. It shows that this team played better when it wasn't under any pressure. Once it got to nine losses, all the tension just melted away.
The only positive you can take from the past two weeks is that Cutler didn't implode any further. It's been a rough year for the guy unfairly pinned as the successor to Sid Luckman. Instead of breaking Luckman's good records, he challenged his franchise record for most interceptions in a season (31). With his curtain-call performance, Cutler cut down his picks and wound up with a plus-one touchdown-to-interception ratio: 27 to a league-leading 26.
"That's hard to do," Cutler said of his plus-1. "We've got to get that other number down. That's the bottom line."
Pinpointing the reason for Cutler's meltdown, coming off a Pro Bowl season in a grown-up offense, has been a full-time job for football reporters. It's the "Who shot Kennedy?" of sports talk radio. Was it the line? Was it the play calling? Were the receivers running wrong routes? Did he just bomb? Will they replace quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton with Moxie Johnson?
The answer the Bears come up with to rectify Cutler's performance over the long haul will decide the immediate future of this franchise. It's obvious there was a lack of chemistry for the offense this season and that Cutler didn't have enough weapons to cover his risky throws.
One late addition that helped the offense tremendously is Devin Aromashodu. Cutler has been touting the 6-foot-2 Auburn product since the preseason, but he was stuck on the inactive list, behind Johnny Knox, Earl Bennett and Hester -- all of whom had good starts -- and Rashied Davis, who plays on special teams.
Aromashodu, who was stat-less for the first eight games, caught five passes for 46 yards and two touchdowns in this game. Over the past four, with one bad game thrown in, he caught 22 passes for 282 yards and four scores.
"He's got a future, definitely," Cutler said.
Maybe Cutler should have some input on the roster. Or the play calling.
His immediate boss, offensive coordinator Ron Turner, is a likely candidate for the coaching guillotine. The coaches are meeting Monday, and none are being made available to the media. Always an interesting sign. Turner waved off questions about his return, though when asked directly if he thinks he did enough to come back, he replied in the affirmative.
Smith, who said changes need to be made "top to bottom," wasn't so direct when he was asked, specifically, if Turner did a good enough job to return next year.
"I think all of us didn't do as good a job as we needed to," he said. "And let's start with me. As head coach I didn't do as good a job as I needed to and it trickles down to the coaches, players and everyone involved in our organization. We didn't do as good a job as we needed to get back to where we belong."
That's a long-winded way of saying no.
And I think when it comes to evaluating Cutler, it's fair to say his Bears debut season wasn't all his fault. But it's fair to say a lot of blame for this season falls on his shoulders. And to his credit, Cutler hasn't passed the blame onto anyone else. The Bears, for all their faults, have handled this season like men. They haven't fractured or pointed fingers. A lot of that has to do with how they feel about Smith, who treats them like adults.
To a man, the Bears defended their coaches in the locker room. Yes, a couple of weeks ago, Hester said he knows there will be changes in the staff, but he was one of many who said the players should be pilloried for the team's failures.
"It's all on the players," Hester said. "The coaches make great calls, and we've got to go out make plays."
Alex Brown -- as eloquent and classy a team spokesman as you can find -- agreed.
"We have to go out and play," he said. "There's so much a coach can do. They call the play and it's up to us to go out and execute. I think the players should be held accountable for what's done on the field."
Even in the NFL, it's true that "You can't fire the players." Pretty soon, we'll see if the Bears can fire their coaches. We won't have to wait long. I can almost hear the shoutin' already.

Nis Fortress
Probably the main sight in Nis, is the fortress (Tvrdava). The current fortifications are of Turkish origin and were built in the early 18th century, although the history of a fortress on this site dates back to Roman times.
The rampart walls are more than 2 km long and include four gates, with the Istanbul Gate (Stambol kapija) being the best preserved.
The Istanbul Gate can even be climbed for views of the fortress and the city.
Among other sights inside the fortress an old Turkish Hamam, the Bali-Beg Mosque and a collection of Roman sculptures can be found.
Nowadays the Nis Fortress is mainly used as a recreation area with many restaurants, cafes and galleries.
The Nis Fortress dominates the right bank of the river Nisava. The main entrance is the Istanbul gate which can be reached by crossing the bridge from the square Trg Kralja Milana.

A large park area enclosed by the fortress walls. Plenty to do here from sitting on a shady bench and watching the world pass to childrens rides and several bars for refreshments.
Spent a couple of hours relaxing here on a warm day.
Art Gallery
At the entrance to the Fortress from the city centre (there's actually a second entrance on the opposite side of the Fortress from the suburbs) there's a large building with one room labelled "Serbian Souvenirs". Although the souvenirs are nice, and its pretty difficult to find a similar shop somewhere else in town, the real artwork is in the large room beside the shop. You'll notice the beautiful Ottoman seal that has been carved above the door and the surly looking man who sits out front. There is no entrance fee and the artwork itself is primarily contemporary works that are by Serbian artists. Its a great way to get a feeling for what contemporary culture is like in Nis, as the town can sometimes feel rather sleepy.

Grave Stelae
In the centre of the Fortress you'll find a collection of grave stelae that clearly predate the end of Ottoman rule, although it is unclear whether or not the pre-date Ottoman rule entirely (I'm not an expert on these things). They are Christian relics - they have pictures of people on them, which would have been haram under sharia - and are arranged nicely in a circle for your viewing pleasure. The markers have some quite interesting traits and are very much reminiscent of Roman or Hellenic style stelae that you see in the museums at Thessaloniki or Athens. Some of them are quite large and, as such, we can probably assume they once belonged to the wealthy classes of this very ancient city.

The Fortress has a number of interesting buildings, none of which is really adequately explained for them to be big tourist draws. Nevertheless, it is easy to see how the grounds were used and re-used, as there is a collection of both Ottoman structures and later works that are obviously of Balkan origin. One of my favourite was a building that appeared to have some sort of hammam attached to it, although there was no minaret (which made me believe that it wasn't in fact a mosque). There are others, including some ramshackle Serbian-style bungalows, and the only way to discover them is to simply wander throughout the park.

Sadly, the Hammam at the Fortress of Nis is not a tourist site and you cannot simply enter and take pictures. Rather, it is now a café that is frequented by families (there are many cafés at the entrance to the Fortress from the centre of town). Nevertheless it is still possible to admire the architecture from afar.

The main structure
The Fortress is the most prominent tourist site in Nis and it is likely the one that draws the most visitors. The former Turkish military site is now a large park with restaurants and activities for children with little to no explanation about the historical significance. Nevertheless, the ruins of the Ottoman buildings is fairly well maintained and it provides an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to walk around a green and beautiful area while still feeling like their doing something educational.
Address: Across from Trg Osvobodenja

The Fortress rises on the right bank of the Nisava River, overlooking the area inhabited for longer than two milleniums.The extant fortification is of Turkish origin, dating from the first decades of the 18th century (1719-1723). It is well-known as one of the most significant and best preserved monuments of this kind in the Mid-Balkans. The Fortress was erected on the site of earlier fortifications - the ancient Roman, Byzantine, and later yet Mediaeval forts.
- Historical Travel
An oasis of peace
Almost everyone who has been to Nis chose the fortress as a "must see" recomendation, and for a good reason: it has historical significance, as well as the best view on the town :) Still, it is something even more than that- it is a place where you can be in the midst of the town and yet so far away from all the hustle. How many cities can boast with THAT? :)
Directions: In the centre, close to the main bus station
Monument to liberators
inside the fortress there is a monument to Milan Obrenovic, liberator of from the Turkish rule. it was errected in the late 1870's. It's too small and ordinary in my opinion, I think ti should be more pomopous!
Stambol kapija (Istanbul gate)
The main entrance to the Nis fortress is called Stambol kapija, Stambol means Istanbul in old Serbian language. The gate is right after the main bridge over Nisava river, and inside there is a museum and old arms arsenal.
Inside the fortress, on the left when you enter through the Stambol gate (main gate), there are plently of lovely cafes, whichever you choose you won't regret! They are a bit posh, but very nice actually. In the summer it's a bliss!
Since Nis is an ancient town, there are many relicts and monuments from the helenic and ancient roman times, and here are some of the monuments found in Nis from those eras. They are situated in the middle of the fortress, just a bit up from the Beli Beg's mosque.
Hamam is an old turkish bath. Today, it is used as a cafe/restaurant. :(
Hamam is the oldest preserved turkish building in Nis, it was built in 1498. The water was brought from the river Nisava with the help of the wooden tools with vessels that were catching water from the river and then it was brought to hamam with wooden pipes that were buried underground. Later it was filtered in the reservoir and partially cold, partially hot, it arrived to the baths.
This picture shows the inside of the hamam, that is now a lovely restaurant. Oh, what a pity!!!
Beli Beg's mosque 2
Here is another view of the Beli Begova dzamija (Serbian for Beli Beg's mosque).
Once, beside the mosque there was a library as well.
Today, the mosque is used an art gallery, and I'm not really sure I like that, I think it should serve its original purpose. It is so lovely.

Delicious! This was also as easy to make as advertised. I used the textured end of the meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken, and found that the flavor penetrated very well that way. I also used my Foreman Grill to cook it - I made 2 breasts (cooking them one at a time) and I don't think it took 15 minutes. Thanks!
I have been so tired of the same old dried out chicken,I hardly even buy chicken breasts anymore because they are always so boring....not anymore...WOW!Loved this so much! I did make a few changes to the recipe because I didn't have everything on hand.I reduced this recipe to 2 servings.I used 2 chicken breasts,2 tbsp garlic hoisin sauce,1/2 tbsp peanut butter and 2 tbsp soy sauce.I omitted the sesame oil and the hot pepper oil.I marinated the entire concoction for 2 days.The chicken was super tender,it was excellent.I put it on the BBQ and served it with a salad.Once it was cooked I added sesame seeds and green onions to the chicken.
Made last night, both myself and husband loved it. Used my George Forman grill and it turned out great. Juicy and flavorful, will definitely serve again.

So Michelle Wie has turned pro at the tender age of 15.
What took so long?
Here's a girl who spoke to reporters about one day beating Tiger Woods when she was 9 years old. She spoke publicly about playing Augusta National well before she got braces. And she unabashedly admitted to planning careers on both the PGA and LPGA Tours while most of her critics wondered whether she should be still on the junior circuit.
When reached by phone Tuesday in Honolulu, Michelle's father, B.J., confessed that this decision was made a long time ago. "Turning pro at age 16 was one of multiple scenarios that we've been evaluating," he said. "The reason we did this a few days early [before her 16th birthday next Tuesday] is because we didn't want to interfere with the Samsung [World Championship]."
Say what you want about the Wie family, but don't accuse them of putting things off. Asked whether Michelle will have to bring homework on her trip to California next week, B.J. said plainly: "Usually she does it before she leaves."
So no one should raise an eyebrow at this decision any more than anyone clucked when Freddy Adu, Michael Phelps, Sidney Crosby, Maria Sharapova or even Dakota Fanning "turned pro" as teens (or younger). Where was the outcry when those phenoms made their leap? Wie's decision might have a huge effect on the golf world -- and the sports world -- but the meaning of turning pro has diminished nearly to the point of irrelevance, unless you play basketball or football.
In a way, Wie turned pro years ago. She's already played in several majors, starting at age 13. She's faced hard questions from fans and media and even some hard criticism from LPGA vets. She's had cameras on her almost non-stop, including this week, when she'll be a 15-year-old girl on the cover of Fortune. No, she's never putted for dough technically, but she always knew future sponsorships and exemptions rode on every swing. She wanted it that way.
"I knew from the moment I first picked up a golf club that I wanted to play for my whole life," Wie said at a press conference in her native Honolulu, flanked by representatives from Nike and Sony. "I'm so excited, I didn't see any cons [to turning pro]."
Wie already acts like a pro, spending two-and-a-half hours on most weekdays at one of three Honolulu courses. On weekends, she's at the course for six hours per day. On Tuesdays, she gets a massage (plus manicure/pedicure). She has a strength trainer who sends her workouts, a sports psychologist with whom she speaks by phone every week, and a nutritionist who tells her what to eat and what to avoid.
This is in addition to the pros at David Leadbetter Academy, who work with her on adding 10 percent more distance to her swing. "Right now her carry distance is 260," says her dad, B.J. "To compete in the PGA Tour, she has to have at least 285 -- at least."
Does that sound like an amateur's life?
Of course some bristle that Wie does not truly have a life of her own, and that she will spend her Sweet 16 next week not at GameWorks with giggly friends (or on MTV having a diva moment) but in a hotel in Palm Desert, Calif., preparing for the Samsung World Championship. But if Wie is going to live to regret her lost childhood, that ship has already sailed. She has already spent her summers on the course instead of at camp, and her weekends laying up on grass instead of laying out on sand.
Her father has lost sleep over this decision, but more about whether he's made the right deal than about whether his daughter has jettisoned her youth. Waiting until age 20 to turn pro -- as Tiger did -- will not alter Michelle's golf routine or her heady golf goals. She wants to play against the men whether it's for million-dollar purses or a five-dollar Nassau. And by the way, among her friends in Oahu is a girl named Meg, who happens to model on the side. Meg's parents probably don't think she's too young to be earning a lot of money.
Ah, but then there's the issue of winning. Like Danica Patrick, Wie gets accused of not knowing how to close the deal. Tiger Woods owned six USGA titles when he turned pro, compared to Wie's one. But that jab would have kept coming at Wie even if she kept the "A" after her name in tournaments.
Look at Tom Brady, perhaps the greatest winner of our generation. He was every bit as "clutch" as an amateur in college as he is now. Turning pro didn't change his ability to handle pressure any more than it turned Kwame Brown from world-beater into misfit. Michael Jordan and Gatorade ask "Is it in you?" but even a Gatorade sponsorship won't change the answer to that question. And in Wie's case, we don't know any better today than we did yesterday.
Go ahead and place your bets, because Nike and Sony just did. And Michelle placed hers years ago.

Charter 08, One Year On
China's democrats are harassed but undaunted.
A year ago, on the 60th anniversary of the unveiling of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 303 Chinese announced "Charter 08," a citizens' manifesto calling for constitutional democracy, human rights, rule of law and tripartite separation of powers in government. It was the first public statement in the history of the People's Republic of China to call for an end to one-Party rule. "The Chinese people, who have endured human rights disasters and uncountable struggles across these same years, now include many who see clearly that freedom, equality, and human rights are universal values of humankind and that democracy and constitutional government are the fundamental framework for protecting these values," the Charter states.
Its drafters took inspiration from Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia, but their document also shows influences from the U.S. Constitution, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man, the democratic movement in Taiwan in the 1980s, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. Eventually more than 10,000 people inside China signed on to it, and countless others who read it feared to sign. Google hits for "08 xianzhang" in Chinese reached a million.
Meanwhile the government in China sought to treat Charter 08 as a nonevent. It has banned mention of the Charter on the Internet and, except for a very brief negative comment of its own, has purged it from state media as well. But this silence is unnatural and the nonchalance feigned. We know this because of strong evidence of behind-the-scenes repression.
In the days after the announcement of the Charter, teams of police descended on the homes of the Charter organizers including Zhang Zuhua, Liu Xiaobo and Wang Debang, confiscating books, computers, bank accounts, notebooks and papers. Mr. Liu, one of the drafters, was detained the day before the Charter appeared and eventually charged with "inciting subversion of state power," which can lead to 15 years' imprisonment.
These draconian moves send a message to all signatories of Charter 08, and to anyone who might be inclined to sign, to think of their own safety first. Police sought out all of the original 303 signatories of the Charter for personal "chats." On the surface these "chats" were not hostile: Officers sought to persuade and cajole, and often provided tea and snacks. They sought information about the Charter's organization: "Who asked you to sign?", "Where did you first see the Charter?", "Why did you sign?", and so on. They also "counseled" people on their own "best interests": "Why risk your future?", "Don't you see that dissidents have bad lives?", "Have you considered your family members?", "Don't you want to withdraw your signature and just say you made a mistake?"
In mid-January, government Internet filters were set to delete the phrase "Charter 08." Since then netizens have sought, with some success, to circumvent the filters by using near-homonyms, for example "county magistrate" (xian4zhang3) instead of "charter" (xian4zhang1) and "lymph" (lin2ba1) instead of "08" (ling2ba1).
It is worth asking why China's rulers opt for behind-the-scenes repression of Charter 08 instead of all-out attack. Why not demonize it in headlines, allowing no rebuttal? After all, the publicity machine of the Party-state does have experience doing this sort of thing.
There is no direct evidence with which to answer this question, but there are good grounds for surmise. First, Charter 08 is not easy to rebut. It is written in cool, rational language, draws on the Chinese constitution, cites the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and speaks up for values like justice, equality and truth: "Every person is born with inherent rights to dignity and freedom. The government exists for the protection of the human rights of its citizens." Efforts to denounce sentiments like this could be tricky.
Moreover there is precedent for backfire in the Party-state's experience with such calls for democracy. In the fall of 1986, Fang Lizhi, then vice president of the Chinese University of Science and Technology in Hefei, Anhui province, gave speeches in support of human rights and democracy. Students loved his speeches and brought their enthusiasm to the streets of their city. The authorities, in reprisal, dismissed Mr. Fang from his university position. The government then used Mr. Fang's speeches as "negative teaching materials" in a nationwide campaign against "bourgeois liberalization"—only to find that, because students could read for themselves, the campaign did more to spread Mr. Fang's ideas than he himself ever could have. By 1989, when huge student demonstrations rocked all of China, Mr. Fang had become famous.
Hence it is not hard to see why China's rulers, on the rare occasions when they have ventured to mention Charter 08 in the state-run press, have refrained from quoting it directly. They tiptoe around it. On January 16, 2009—the same day the term "Charter 08" was purged from the Internet—Jia Qinglin, a member of the Party's ruling Politburo, published an article in the authoritative political journal Qiushi ("Seek Truth") that addresses the Charter 08 challenge: "We must always uphold the correct political orientation [and] build strong defensive battle lines against the interference of incorrect thinking about Western-style two-party or multi-party systems, bi-cameral systems or tri-partite divisions of power."
Here and elsewhere Mr. Jia's jargon is impeccable, but he does not attempt to explain why he believes that the thinking he opposes is incorrect. Similar veiled criticisms of Charter 08 appeared in February and March, but none quoted from the Charter or called it by name. The regime's efforts then and since have been focused not on refuting the Charter's ideas but on trying to limit their spread.
The record of the Charter's first year has left its drafters in fairly high spirits. Some may have lost books, computers and bank accounts—and one is in jail. But, as Zhang Zuhua writes on the Internet, "the overall response has been much better than we imagined."
Mr. Link is chancellorial chair for teaching across disciplines at the University of California, Riverside. He worked with the drafters of Charter 08 to translate the document into English.

When the Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi travels to the US tomorrow, she can be assured of a rapturous reception.
So much so that the organisers of her trip face an unusual worry — that Americans, including President Obama, will be too welcoming, to an extent that could damage Burma's progress towards democratic reform. They are appealing to Mr Obama to make time for another Burmese visitor — President Thein Sein, who will also visit the US this month.
It is feared that if the welcome for Ms Suu Kyi too obviously eclipses that for Mr Thein Sein, the offence

UltraViolet™ to Deliver Room Shaking Surround Sound Powered By DTS
DTS, Inc, a leader in high-definition audio and audio enhancement technologies, today announced that several leading content solution providers, including Digital Rapids, Elemental Technologies, and Rovi, now support DTS Express™ surround sound for creation of content in the UltraViolet™ Common File Format (CFF). DTS Express, part of the DTS-HD® family of audio solutions found on nearly all Blu-ray Disc™ movies, is fully optimized for digitally delivered content, providing a high-quality immersive surround sound experience with the UltraViolet CFF.
Very cool, the pieces keep coming together for Rovi to be the go to source for virtually anything w/in the digital media market. They are definitely positioned second to none amongst companies able to deploy a digital storefront in it's entirety, able to deliver end to end in the highest quality & w/ complete compatibility w/ UV, where they are able to go above and beyond others will similar capabilities is through their massive metadata files beyond that of any competitor, furthermore having the info/guide side technology protected through over 5, 100 patents that primarily relate to the guide aspects of the business.
There is no other competitor in the VOD storefront market capable of delivering on all fronts as Rovi can, making them the go to provider of choice for the deployment of various branded storefronts throughout both the US as well as Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, Germany & the rest of Europe and on into Asia & the rest of the globe.
As UV grows & prospers so goes Rovi, as they are so tightly tied & intertwined w/ that platform which is the future of home entertainment and will succeed as the studios are determined for it to. They have already taken continually engaging steps, including the all powerful restructuring of the release windows which we are seeing moving more & more towards early release to digital w/ lately a commonly seen 2 week prerelease to that of the in store DVD/Bluray physical discs. We are also seeing the ever powerful force of improved prices to that of the Blu-ray discs & even dvd's.
Now that we are reaching the technology levels needed to support & provide content in the highest quality possible through digital delivery, something previously impractical if even possible given the broadband requirements for such a delivery, but now & especially in the very near term w/ h.265 deployment on the upcoming Rovi total solution, the point of inferiority to the quality of bluray discs is no longer an issue.
Then throw in Rovi's disc to digital solution for home bluray players & you have a storefront offering that can't be matched

Judah: This is nuts it seemed like this whole week all I read about was attack after attack in Germany. I wonder how many people have to die before the Europeans do something about it. I mean between France, Belgium and Germany how many have died at the hands of these nutty terrorists. I've lived in Germany and it is a beautiful place. I hope the Europeans finally come to there senses and realize these attacks cannot go on and they must do something about it.

I am upgrading my review from 1 to 3 stars as the stuff that I could test did work. Sometimes had trouble getting boxes to move but they did drag and drop. Still too many features that are premium only, that could be fixed so they could be tested. For example one responsive template could be allowed. One special layout for free so the layout feature could be tested. And the one the really annoyed me was not being able to embed a video from my own media library. Since this free plugin is supposed to be a show case to encourage sales, the developer might want to rethink the approach of constantly banging the head about going pro. It is annoying.
Your Pro version is probably a whiz bang for drag and drop. It is too bad the free one will not do more without being dinged all the time to purchase pro. This is my opinion.
Make easy web the pages when you don't have time to design.
The latest version has broken the wordpress text editor and previously was dropping saved zedity edited pages randomly sometime after publishing successfully.
Sometimes the boxed dont align properly when overlaying items which mean when you look at the content on different screens the overlays sit in different positions for some reason?
I really like hope this plug-in gets better though - the idea is awesome.
Although I love the layout and basic usage for simple page layout it seems to be slow on saving and frequently undo's/changes media layout of "boxes"

- 2 cups 1/2-inch-thick banana slices
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
Nutritional Information
Note: The information shown is Edamam's estimate based on available ingredients and preparation. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist's advice.
Nutritional analysis per serving (10 servings)480 calories; 26 grams fat; 13 grams saturated fat; 0 grams trans fat; 7 grams monounsaturated fat; 3 grams polyunsaturated fat; 52 grams carbohydrates; 3 grams dietary fiber; 23 grams sugars; 10 grams protein; 268 milligrams cholesterol; 322 milligrams sodium
- Bring the cream to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk yolks and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Scrape the vanilla-bean seeds into the yolks and toss the husk into the cream.
- Whisking constantly, pour a small amount of hot cream into the yolk mixture, then whisk in the rest. Strain through a fine sieve and discard the vanilla-bean husk.
- Place the bread, bananas and walnuts in a deep 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan. Pour in enough cream mixture to cover the bread well (you may have a bit left over). Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the bread pudding gently, then cover the pan with foil. Place in a larger pan, add enough hot water to come partway up the sides of the pan and bake until the pudding is set and a knife inserted comes out almost clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve with Banana Caramel Sauce.

Yorkshire Vikings survived a brilliant all-round Albie Morkel display to complete a six-run Friends Life t20 win over Derbyshire Falcons at Chesterfield.
South African Morkel followed his best Twenty20 bowling figures of 4-25 with an astonishing last-over assault on Liam Plunkett that almost pulled off an improbable victory for the hosts.
Derbyshire needed 32 to overhaul Yorkshire's 142 for nine; although Morkel smashed Plunkett for three fours and two sixes, he failed to make contact with the last delivery and was left unbeaten on 51 from 31 balls.
Yorkshire had looked on course for a more challenging total after Phil Jaques and Dan Hodgson established a solid platform with a second-wicket stand of 49 in six overs.
Hodgson pulled Tim Groenewald for six and Jaques twice reverse swept boundaries as Yorkshire reached 70 for one in the ninth over, yet intelligent bowling backed up by sharp fielding allowed Derbyshire to rein the visitors in on a slow pitch.
Jaques was bowled sweeping at Dan Redfern for 22 in the 10th over and Morkel struck twice in the 12th when Hodgson drove to deep mid-on and Andrew Hodd was bowled for a duck trying to clip through midwicket.
Former Derbyshire batsman Gary Ballance threatened to take the momentum away with 28 from 22 balls, including a straight-driven six off Wes Durston, but skied Morkel to deep midwicket.
Mark Turner, with 3-21, varied his pace cleverly to run through the lower order and, when Ryan Sidebottom pulled the last ball of the innings to midwicket, Yorkshire had lost eight wickets for 72 in 11 overs.
Derbyshire suffered a setback at the start of their reply when Durston slipped going for a single and had to retire hurt on eight, yet Chesney Hughes and skipper Wayne Madsen took the score to 49 before two wickets in the eighth over put Yorkshire back in it.
First Madsen was run out for 19 in a mix-up with Hughes, who was out next ball for 21 when he drove Azeem Rafiq to Richard Pyrah at mid-off.
The spinners were hard to get away and Rafiq struck again when Redfern cut tamely to point before Billy Godleman was caught in the same position trying a reverse sweep to leave Derbyshire struggling on 67 for four.
Morkel responded by driving Rafiq over long-on for six and cutting Pyrah for four but Plunkett had the final word when he delivered a dot ball to give Yorkshire only their second win in the North Group, which moved them off bottom spot, and dent third-placed Derbyshire's hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.

I think one of the best features of your puzzles are how they engage a wide spectrum of learners. That is so difficult for teachers. Your math puzzles are remarkable and a big reason why all of my students enjoy them and learn from them regardless of their mathematical readiness level. This is as close to a "silver bullet" as I've seen.Jason Kornoely
We found Dr. Pickle's website and his philosophies appealed to us. Math wasn't about right and wrong; there was a process. Math wasn't about tackling an equation in one specific way; there was room for creativity. Math wasn't worksheets and drill; it was beautiful and colourful, fun and dynamic. This was how we wanted our students to experience and understand math.Jennifer Bartlett
Engage a wide spectrum of student ability.
Give every child the gift of failure.
(success too)
Put your students in a pickle!
We learn best through hard fun!
Mathematics and beauty are inseparable.
Tongue-in-cheek nastiness engages students.
Dr. Pickle's puzzles are innovative in design as they are open-ended, require immense strategy and many remain unsolved. Consequently, they leave both students and teachers hungry for more.Helen Gould
Thank you for all the great resources, ideas, and inspiring videos! I can't wait to use some these materials this Fall with my elementary mathematics methods students as well as try the unsolved problems with my two children.Amy Tanner
One of the hallmarks of Dr. Pickle's puzzles is the celebration of failure, a feature that is rarely, if ever, seen, let alone promoted, in school mathematics. And yet, it makes so much sense as a way to free up the space for learning to happen, and to have it happen at such accelerated rate.Natasa Sirotic
Struggling students thrived and those who wanted the most difficult challenges were not disappointed.Doreen Grey
April 2016 was Santorini month! This is the greatest game I have ever created, and you can see the kickstarter campaign here.
Warmest thanks to all for your brilliant support over the years 😉

Extreme Birdhouse
Even a birdbrain can appreciate this wonder. With 103 compartments, 13 roofs, and 32 dormers, it is more like a bird hotel than a birdhouse. Built by former Canadian homebuilder John Looser, the enormous 8-foot-tall, 9-foot-wide Roxbury Inn is made of reclaimed barn wood, with a steel roof constructed of almost 100 hand-painted pieces. Compartments face in all directions, making checking in and out a breeze (the kitty doorman notwithstanding). This house was built as a DIY project, but other woodworking plans and birdhouses built by Looser can be purchased on Extremebirdhouse.com.
