Another day, another Airbus patent.
During aircraft flights, certain passengers have periods when they are bored … Moreover, it is known that aircraft flights generate stress for certain passengers.
The solution? An isolation helmet.
Imagine being totally surrounded by sound and visuals, having your electronics (or the IFE) plugged in, or simply decide to dim everything around you. A inflatable cushion adds to the comfort (and acts as a kind of airbag during turbulences).
And more:
The headrest here offers the passenger the possibility of choosing one of the other of the types of ambient [oxygen] flow, refreshed or conditioned. The distributed air can be enhanced with or more natural or synthetic odorous substances.
Airbus is going into virtual reality territory. You forget you're in a plane—or at least that's kind of the intent here.

There is something energetic about living downtown in a big city. There is a pace that makes you want to wake up in the morning and just get moving towards your dreams and goals. Living in downtown Detroit has proven to be a fun and exciting time for Jenny and Pat. They really enjoy working and exploring the motor city together.
During Jenny and Pat's engagement session on Belle Isle and along the Detroit River Walk, I loved hearing about their life together in the city and seeing how both of their personalities seemed to complement the other's. Pat would pull Jenny in close and whisper something or make a funny face and Jenny would light up with laughter! As they strolled along taking in the Detroit skyline, they decided to toast to their engagement with a couple of drinks. How fun, right!?
It truly was the "golden hour", the most ideal time for portraits, for Jenny and Pat as the sun slowly set, casting beautiful, soft light upon them and exposing breathtaking oranges and pinks in the sky.
Jenny + Pat I had so much fun exploring the city with you at your engagement and I can't wait until your wedding next year! Congratulations again!
Love Always,
Courtney Carolyn

To purchase the enovella, go here.
To purchase the whole print anthology, go here.
Time-travel agent Collins is preparing for a routine assignment to the past when rebels kill his commander and force him back in time, unprepared. With no sex-suppression drugs and incomplete training, he's stranded in a strange old world.
Candy was almost resigned to her humdrum life until a man in a strange black get-up dropped onto her park bench. If he wasn't gorgeous, and wounded, she might listen to her common sense and run. But curiosity and kindness have always been her weaknesses, and the fact that this guy rouses her long-dormant libido doesn't hurt, either.
Overwhelmed by the novel sensation of lust, Collins can't resist Candy's sensual sweetness. But every fevered joining of their bodies breaks the stringent laws to which he's sworn allegiance. Being trapped in the past is bad enough. Committing carnal crimes with an irresistible 21st century indigenous could destroy his future—and hers.
Oh, the newly sensitized skin of his hand tingled with the need to explore the fascinating warmth of her. He could not let go or he might give into the urge to touch her round, sweet feminine face. The shocking presence of another human. So close.
"You feel it too," she whispered, sounding as stunned as he felt. "I-I don't remember ever being so immediately attracted to someone." She squeezed his hand and gave a quick grin, a gleam of white in the dark. "But I bet you get that sort of come-on line all the time."
He shook his head.
His body urged him on again. A kiss. Experience it. You can't call yourself an expert on an era when kisses were important unless you know what it means to kiss. He knew justification when he heard it, even when his own body and brain coerced him.
Fine, just a kiss, he thought to shut up the stupid urges. Only one, before he'd get home and put himself on the blessed clophim suppressant.
Gah, yes—the moment he got back, he'd gulp down a double dosage. No way he could control this…attraction. Then why try? Why not indulge for another minute?
He inched closer, still holding her hand.
No one would ever know. He found himself croaking the words, "Just one kiss. Before I go."
Candy pulled her hand from his so she could cup his face. Inwardly she groaned. Why couldn't she just leave the man alone? He'd made it clear that, despite his arousal, he didn't want this. But she almost had to touch him, kiss him.. God, it would be something to remember as an old lady sitting on a park bench watching ducks. The day she kissed the most good-looking man on the planet.
She'd once read the line "throbbing tension between them" and had scoffed at the phrase, but something throbbed between them—and not just between her legs.
Even in the dark room she could make out that mouth. Chiseled, warm and wonderful. He seemed to be waiting for her to move to him. She angled her head and grazed his lips once, twice, with her own. Before she could really settle in, he spoke.
"Oh." His deep voice was husky. "That is nice."
His startled pleasure, the way he'd not opened his mouth–and she suddenly understood.
The man had never kissed anyone.
How could that be?
She held back her surprise though, figuring any male would be insulted if she expressed amazement.
"Yes," she whispered. "Hold onto your horses, there's more."
"But—" he murmured before she licked her lips and brought her mouth onto his again.
Tentative at first, sweet, delicious. Sensations rather than words rolled through her as their uncertain contact strengthened. She flicked the tip of her tongue over his full lips and his mouth opened. A small whimper rose from her throat and met his answering groan. She wrapped her arms around his surprisingly wide and hard torso
Good, his tongue hesitantly brushed hers. She sucked his lip lightly. A moment later he imitated her. Good gravy, she grew heady with the realization that she played teacher to the best-looking man on the planet.

Like we said a little over a month ago, don't look at "Rush" as this season's
only epic racing movie.
The upcoming movie, "Snake and Mongoose", which tells the story of Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen, is set to give "Rush" a run for its box office money.
Whether it's on the strip or in the board room, Snake and Mongoose gave drag racing the kind of mainstream cache that nobody had ever done before. So the next time you watch a funny car race on SPEED TV, you can tip your hat to Prudhomme and McEwen for making all of it possible.
The movie is scheduled to make its theatrical debut on September 6th. In the meantime, you can enjoy the new two-and-a-half minute that producers have just released.
You can also click past the jump to watch the 60-second trailer that was shown a little more than a month ago.

Healthy Eating Articles and Videos
The following are tips on how to get back to basics, eat healthier and save yourself a lot of time and money!
Black Beans and Rice
11/23/2011 | Sheryl McGlochlin
1-minute chore: (I do this chore first thing in the morning by 9 am OR before I go to bed at night.
2 c. raw, uncooked black beans (rinse them off in water using a strainer)
8 c. water
Put in a slow cooker (crock pot)
Plug it in, turn on LOW, put the lid on and cook for approx. 8 hours.
5-minute chore:
Turn slow cooker off and unplug it.
Using a strainer, separate the cooked beans and bean juice - save BOTH in separate containers.
Refrigerate both the juice and beans until you are ready to use.
If you need some extra bean juice later, you'll have it available.
Bean juice is high in nutrients so water it down and feed your plants if you don't use it yourself.
Your raw, uncooked beans will now be approx. 6 cups of cooked beans. Put them in 8 - 12 oz. containers and either freeze if you aren't going to use them for a few weeks OR put them in the fridge if you will be using them within 3 - 4 days.
If you freeze them, be sure and mark what they are so you'll remember.
Now proceed with this recipe, which will only take a few minutes to assemble:
Black Beans and Rice
2 c. cooked black beans
1 (8 oz.) can Salsa
1 cup uncooked Rice
1 (12 oz.) can Corn
1 (8 oz.) can Tomato Juice
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup grated Cheese (optional)
1/4 cup Water
Drain beans and corn. Combine all ingredients in a bowl (except the cheese). Pour into a 9 x 9 baking dish. Top with grated cheese. Cover and bake at 375 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Confirm that rice is tender before removing from oven. Tasty rolled in a warm tortilla garnished with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, etc.
It may be served cold as a salad.

You are none other than champion!
Restless for the wind to move,
in motion,
in reverse forwards,
being still, for the sake of language,
You ramble, often
looking inward for conversations about gladiators or men,
or separation of complete false manhood,
Gaps of common,
misuse of parenting or childhood- be it as it may,
the artist creates moments on canvas to
Remember now,
You are none other than Champion!
of will,
or relentless moving on from the difficult,
you raised yourself on cereal spelling and
pages of scribble text dictionary words,
David Bowie was father,
"Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal"
Diamond Dogs were mother,
"Come out of the garden baby, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog",
Dip your hair below,
in the water with gold fingers,
it is time for the Wild Man to surface,
despite all despite's
or just because's,
Remember now!
You are none other than Champion!

Pilotwings Resort
Pilotwings Resort lets players fly around Wuhu Island in some fun little aerial craft. There are airplanes, hang gliders, and rocket packs. Those are the main three in Pilotwings Resort. A few unique craft make their appearance in Pilotwings Resort. This is not a realistic flight simulator by any means. Miis are the characters players get to play, and this island has been used in numerous Nintendo titles. The 3D depth of Pilotwings Resort is what will draw most gamers in. Getting to fly around Wuhu Island at your leisure will keep them interested - for a time.
The aircraft look great, and they animate nicely. Players can crash into things and their character will pop out a parachute or go flying up off the screen. This results in a loss of points. Since the goal is to score as high as possible it is generally discouraged. The island looks like the island from the Wii games. I enjoyed the feeling of death in Pilotwings Resort. However I found I had to have the screen angled just right or it got all squirley.
The sounds in Pilotwings Resort are classic Nintendo sounds from recent games. I recognized songs, and special sounds from recent Nintendo titles. So in a lot of ways it was rehash. The good side is these sounds are actually pretty good. I enjoy them and have enjoyed them. I did not find offensive sounds while I was playing Pilotwings Resort on the Nintendo 3DS.
I feel that Pilotwings Resort fails in one area and that is the replays and extras section. There are forty missions in Pilotwings Resort, and then fly around the island as you choose to. This game is selling for forty dollars. I feel the level of content warrants half that price as most. I purchased Pilotwings Resort used, and feel like I over paid for it.
The up, down, left, and right controls work as on would expect in Pilotwings Resort. I have always had problems with controlling aircraft in video games, and Pilotwings Resort continues that trend. I have to think about it because it operates opposite of the way I expect it to. Certain levels like falling in the squirrel suit are plain annoying. The challenges get progressively more difficult in this hand held video game. However there is a real limit to what they encompass.
Resort teaches some basics of flying and hang gliding. I would suggest
that no one try to fly as close to the ground and buildings as
Pilotwings Resort has us do. The jet pack is a fantastic fantasy
vehicle. It took me some time to adapt to the strange controls of it
though. Pilotwings Resort would make a great Player's Choice entry in my

Watch the full episode. See more Independent Lens.
Texas in Africa had a post on PBS' debut documentary in the Independent Lens series called Pushing the Elephant.
In the late 1990s, Rose Mapendo was imprisoned with her family during violence that engulfed the Democratic Republic of Congo. Her harrowing experience included the nighttime arrest of her entire family by government agents, the execution of her husband, the birth of their twin sons in prison, and grim negotiations with prison guards to save the lives of her children. She emerged from the harrowing experience advocating forgiveness and reconciliation. In a country where ethnic violence has created seemingly irreparable rifts among Tutsis, Hutus, and other Congolese, this remarkable woman is a vital voice in her beleaguered nation's search for peace. Now, Rose is confronted with teaching one of her most recalcitrant students how to forgive — Nangabire, the daughter who remained behind.I watched it last night and highly recommend that everyone does the same. Unfortunately, the only way to see it is by watching it on TV, but I will be sure to share it if I can find an online version.
When war came to Rose's village, she was separated from Nangabire, who was 4 years old at the time. Rose managed to escape with nine of her 10 children and was eventually resettled in Phoenix, Arizona. More than a decade later, Rose and Nangabire are reunited in Phoenix where they must face the past and build a new future.
Rose struggles to find balance in her life as a mother of 10 and a full-time advocate for refugees, women, and peace in her country. Her speaking engagements take her around the world — from the White House and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, to meetings with displaced women in Congo. Meanwhile Nangabire, now 17, must adapt to America and discover how she fits into the sprawling Mapendo family. As they get to know one another, the mother and daughter must come to terms with a painful past, and define what it means to be a survivor, a woman, a refugee, and an American.
This family portrait unfolds against the wider drama of war, and explores the long-term and often hidden effects of war on women and families, particularly those in traditional societies — financial despair, increased susceptibility to rape, and social ostracism. Rose and her family offer a lesson in what it means to become an active advocate for a peaceful and hopeful future.

Exciting Couva Sharks return to the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Sunday against title hunting Police in FCC quarters
Friday 16 October 2015
English coach Terry Fenwick led Central FC to the club's first ever title – the 2013 First Citizens Cup (FCC) – and Serbia-born coach Zoran Vranes successfully defended the crystal trophy in 2014.
Now all eyes are on Trinidadian coach Ross Russell, as the new coach attempts to navigate the Couva Sharks to a third consecutive FCC.
Russell, who won the 2009 FCC on his debut season as coach of Defence Force, the side he later led to two Digicel Pro League (DPL) championship, oozed in confidence at the launch of this season's 2015 FCC.
"It's no pressure for me; I've already won it," Russell said. "[The trophy] has my name on it already.
"…we are looking to stay on top as a club," added Russell, who took charge of the reigning Caribbean Club and DPL champions during pre-season.
"I'm going all guns for it (FCC), don't matter where we play or who we play. It's difficult having to play from the qualifying round. But its [how] the draw went and we have to accept it. We as a club have represented ourselves well and we are entitled for any challenge."
Central will meet Police FC from 6 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Sunday in the final quarter-final matchup following a 4 pm kick-off between two-time former champions Morvant Caledonia United and Defence Force at the same Port of Spain venue.
But the quarter-final round action kicks off on Saturday at the Mahaica Oval in Point Fortin with St. Ann's Rangers to tackle FCC debutants Club Sando from 4 pm. Then from 6:30 pm six-time champions W Connection are against Point Fortin Civic with the quarter-finals day one culminating under the floodlit Mahaica Oval.
With $110,000 accompanying the crystal trophy to the eventual champions on October 30, 2015, the intensity was evident from the qualifier round on September 30. A total of 10 goals were produced at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, some of them scorchers, when Defence Force out-scored former champions San Juan Jabloteh 3-2 and Central made clear their ambition with a comprehensive 4-1 win over North East Stars in a repeat of last season's final which the Couva Sharks won 1-0.
"Our aim is to knock Central out," Police FC head coach Richard Hood told www.ttproleague.com this week. "Our ambition is to win titles this season and we want to start with the First Citizens Cup. It won't be easy for Central. We've had a good pre-season with an all-round strong squad, and we are quite capable of doing well this season."
Hood, who took charge of the Lawmen in September 2012, guided his side to their first final in 18 years when he reached the title match of the 2014 Digicel Pro Bowl, however Police eventually lost to W Connection.
Meanwhile Central are the in-form team to beat. The Couva Sharks, winners of four major titles and each of the three rounds of the DPL last season, are unbeaten in the last five in all competitions this season, one of which included ending Connection's reign of the Digicel Charity Shield with a 1-0 win on September 11, 2015.
Police too, had a positive result against Connection in the Lawmen's only competitive match this season. Hood's side, with some roster changes this season, held the Savonetta Boys to a 1-1 draw on September 26 in their opening match of the 2015-16 DPL.
"I thought it was a positive start for us," Hood said. "Our boys played well against Connection who were already into competition. And we could have actually won had we used more of the chances we created."

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *We're just back from a great weekend of orienteering at the JK helped along by some fantastic weather. The weekend's entertainment began with a sprint race around the University of West of England campus on the outskirts of Bristol. Route choice wasn't particularly tricky with just a scattering of cut-throughs and very few dead-ends. I made only one real mistake, overshooting by one hedgerow on the way to number eight. The pace was fast and furious though and my time of 15:31 for the 2.9km course was decidedly average, particularly when the elites went out later in the day. Øystein Kvaal Østerbø was the eventual winner in just 12:11, a time I'd be hard pressed to match on the track.
Our accommodation for the weekend was with JOK at Whitemead Forest Park in the heart of the Forest of Dean. This meant we didn't have far to travel for either of the next two day's events where I was running M21L. On Saturday I had a long walk to the start on the New Beechenhurst map. I started well enough and by the ninth control was lying in second place. Unfortunately I then proceeded to make my biggest blunder in a long while. It took me over 10 minutes for the 200 metres or so to the next control. The leg was across the top of an old slag heap and the way I read the contours the control should have been just over the edge. With no-one else around to push me I just refused to carry on down the other side to where I eventually found the flag. Having dropped down to 29th place it was all I could do to work my way back up to 11th place come the finish line. That day's winner, by over six minutes, was Mark Wilkins of Saxons, a name I haven't come across before.
* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *Sunday's course ended in New Beechenhurst but we were bussed up to the start on the Pludds map. Here the steep re-entrants provided for some interesting up-down versus round route-choices. Having crossed the road, I came unstuck again on a slag heap wasting time on 12, 13 and 14. I then proceeded to mess up the next control as well, heading off along the wrong ditch. Things improved after that but the distance and heat was taking its toll. Phil Winskill had recovered from his previous day's run and finished in 86:32, nearly 12 minutes faster than my time. This put me in 8th place and 9th place in the combined results for the two days, a long way off the 2nd that I achieved last time the JK was in the Forest of Dean. We stayed around to spectate and see Jenny and Oli Johnson take the elite trophies.
We were up early this morning as SOC were helping at the relays. These were held on Caerwent, a military training area over the border in Wales. The map was a mass of roads, buildings, bunkers and even disused railway lines. I was running first leg for the club's JK trophy team. My legs felt sluggish and I set off near the back of the pack. I managed to hold on until control seven where, despite seeing the gaffle open up ahead of me, I proceeded to take the wrong fork. By the time I had recovered my mistake the pack was disappearing in to the distance. This meant that by the time we hit the green slopes I had lost any sort of momentum. I then followed this up with a bad route choice to number 11. Things improved a bit after that as I started to get my head round the map although this didn't stop me having to scale a 6 foot fence!
* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *When I handed over to Andy Nash we were languishing down in 20th place and over 7 minutes down. Andy had a great run, pulling us back in to 15th. Hedley ran third leg but after two days of M21 the pace was too much and we dropped back to 19th. Youngster Matthew Whipple was on last leg but sadly on download realised he had run straight past one control without punching and the team was disqualified.
We were by no means alone although many of the other teams were blaming Emit for their missing punches. Although I'm sure much of this is due to lack of familiarity, the system didn't do much to endear itself to your average SportIdent user. On several occasions at the relay I had to go back to controls when I realised from the display my punch hadn't registered. The touch free system at the sprint race was generally appreciated although the failure to explain its use to many competitors led to much confusion. Technology let an otherwise immaculately organised and planned event down elsewhere. The results system crashed periodically leading to long queues. The waterproof maps stuck together and, when separated, drifted in to the wrong boxes causing competitors to run the wrong course and there were several reports of maps without contours on. I'll forgive a lot though when the sun is shining!

Nissan's Leaf electric vehicle is breaking sales record, with September being the seventh record month in a row.
Nissan said the Leaf set a September sales record finishing the month with 1,953 deliveries, an increase of 99 percent year over year.
That makes for seven straight months of record sales.
Once again, Atlanta was the No. 1 Leaf market in the U.S., as electric vehicle sales spread from the West Coast to a new wave of markets. As it stands, Atlanta has a five-day supply of Leaf, which compares very well in an industry where a 30 days supply of a vehicle is considered good.
The Raleigh-Durham area also showed significant sales increases bumping into the Top 10 markets for the Leaf, and sales were up in all major Texas markets.
Overall, Nissan U.S. sales in September totaled 86,868, down 5.5 percent from last year's total of 91,907.
Nissan Division sales finished at 77,828 units, a decrease of 5.6 percent while sales of Infiniti vehicles totaled 9,040 units, down 4.3 percent.
"September was a unique month with fewer selling days than the prior year with the Labor Day weekend falling into August sales reporting for the first time in several years," said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Service and Parts, Nissan U.S.A. "While this skewed year-to-year comparisons we are optimistic that strong auto sales will continue into the fourth quarter."
Nissan also said Versa deliveries increased 9.5 percent over the prior year to 8,776, with sales of the all-new 2014 Versa Note beginning to pick up momentum. Versa continues to be the leader among subcompacts for 2013.
Sales of Rogue crossovers totaled 11,353 in September as Nissan prepares to launch the all-new, 2014 Rogue later this year.
Nissan declared it is conducting a special reservation program for the all-new Rogue, which will be produced at the company's Smyrna, Tenn. manufacturing plant.
The company also announced recently it will be selling the previous generation Rogue as the Rogue Select, starting in January.

WATERVILLE — The Waterville Senior High School boys basketball team rebounded from a tough overtime loss on opening night by, well, rebounding.
The Purple Panthers grabbed 21 more rebounds than Nokomis on Tuesday night, and that helped Waterville overcome and early deficit to take a 60-41 win in Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B play.
Both teams are now 1-1.
Nokomis led 15-8 after one quarter, and the Warriors were ahead 21-15 midway through the second when the Panthers took control of the glass. Nokomis had six offensive rebounds in the first quarter, but had just six offensive boards the rest of the game.
"We did a really poor job on defensive rebounding and they are a very good rebounding team. By boxing out, we started to extend our lead," said Waterville junior Chris Hale, who had 12 rebounds and a scored a game-high 28 points.
Waterville outrebounded the Warriors, 51-30. The lack of rebounds was a symptom of an overall poor game, Nokomis coach Carl Parker said.
"Not reversing the basketball made it easy for the (Waterville) defense. We didn't take advantage on the back side seams. We didn't cut hard. We didn't rebound. We didn't defend," Parker said. "I'd say she was a debacle. Give Waterville credit, they did a great job."
The Panthers tied the game at 21-21 on a pair of Hale free throws with 1 minute, 43 seconds left in the second quarter, then took the lead for good on a Justin Jabar basket with 1:19 left in the first half.
Waterville took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring Nokomis 19-2. Along with hitting the boards, the Panthers moved the ball well on offense to find open shots.
"We get in this dribble dribble mode. It didn't work for us last Friday against Camden and it didn't work for us tonight. Once they figure out it's hard to make teams defend you by moving the basketball, we're fine," Waterville coach Jason Briggs said.
Waterville led by 20, 45-25, at the start of the fourth quarter. Nokomis rallied to cut the Panthers' lead to 49-38 midway through the quarter on a Spencer Hartsgrove (13 points) 3-pointer.
The Panthers were strong at the foul line, making 19 of 22 free throws. Hale sank 14 of his 16 foul shots.
"We want to get a lot of free throw attempts. We have a lot of good free throw shooters," Hale said.
Despite picking up two fouls in the first two and a half minutes and sitting the rest of the first half, Waterville's 6-foot-7 J.P. Michaud grabbed 10 rebounds. Josh Gormley had nine boards for the Panthers.
Travis Lazarczyk — 861-9242

Why people are afraid to cook
Except when you try to make it.
"roast chard in oven until crispy, but not burnt" How long will that take? What will it look like? Should I do anything with it while it's in there?
"slowly drizzle in the oil to emulsify into vinaigrette" Do I just pour it, or do I have to mix it? How hard? How slow is a drizzle? How can I tell it's emulsified? What in the world does that even mean?
" Lay out prepped beets and carrots on a sheet pan and roast in same 400°F oven as the chard until nicely roasted" Again, how long? What constitutes "nicely roasted?"
So there we were with pan-fried mushrooms and green beans, steamed carrots and beets, and sorta kinda crispy chard. Annoyed with the recipe, we turned it into the Nelson Chin test kitchen and came up with:
Scalloped August veggies
2 large Carrots cut length-wise and then into wedges (I never peel carrots, but feel free)
5 Med.-Lrg. mixed Beets cut into wedges and peeled
Today's green bean harvest (we had about a pint), cleaned (i.e., cut the ends off)
1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
3 larges cloves of garlic, smashed and diced
30 large chard leaves, washed and stems removed
olive oil
Preheat oven to 400F/190C
Remove the stems, then clean and chop the chard. Toss in a large bowl with a couple tablespoons olive oil. Spread thinly on a baking sheet (one with raised edges works best) and roast about 25 minutes, or until it is crispy but not burnt (after 15 minutes, start checking it every 5 minutes). Remove from oven and set aside. Turn off oven and allow it to cool down a little.
Prepare a casserole with cooking spray. Scald 1 1/2 cups of milk (4-6 minutes on high in the microwave)
Steam, braise, or roast the beets and carrots until just tender. Saute the green beans, mushrooms and garlic in a little olive oil. Turn the oven back on, at 350F/175C. Put the two veggie mixes into the casserole in two layers. Each layer should be dotted with 1 tablespoon of butter, and dredged with 2 tablespoons of flour. Pour the hot milk over this, cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Serve over fettucini.

Sounds delicious! Cooking is not hard and you don't need a lot of space or equipment to make a delicious meal. Simple is best.ReplyDelete
You know people always say cooking isn't hard but it IS! My mom never tried showing me anything about cooking so I just don't know. Your example here is EXACTLY my problem. I'm literal and precise. I have questions. Just the other day I saw a recipe online for something very easy--at first glance. But when I read through it I was like "Kosher salt?" what's that? Well, I went to the coop and got some but discovered there were normal and coarse kinds. HUH? Did it matter to my recipe? (It turns out it didn't and because I know the author I just asked, but you can't always do that.)ReplyDelete
So sometimes, even though I have managed to run the rest of my life OK and consider myself moderately intelligent, I just end up feeling stupid and defeated by most recipes.
This recipe even stumped me and I am a very fearless and experienced cook. Even though I could have figured it out, I got annoyed and changed mid-stream, kinda "take THAT stupid recipe. I don't have to follow you!" I'm sure the recipe is feeling very contrite now. What I really love is the website has the word "simple" in the title.ReplyDelete

Phase II/III clinical trial design
Adaptive seamless phase II/III designs enable a clinical trial to be conducted in stages with the most promising of a number of experimental treatments selected on the basis of data observed in the first stage to continue along with the control treatment to the second and any subsequent stages. The main statistical challenge in such a design is ensuring control of the type I error rate. Most methodology for such trials is based on the same endpoint being used for interim and final analyses. In some settings the primary endpoint can be observed only after long-term follow-up. In this case it may be desirable to use short-term endpoint data along with any long-term data available at the interim analysis to inform treatment selection. If short-term data are available for some patients for whom the primary endpoint is not available, basing treatment selection on these data may lead to inflation of the type I error rate.
This talk presents a new method that allows the use of short-term endpoint information for treatment selection whilst controlling the overall type I error rate. The method builds on the work of Galbraith and Marschner , who proposed a method for using short-term endpoints in interim analyses for comparison of a single experimental treatment with a control. The method is based on adjustment of the usual group-sequential boundaries [, ] to allow for monitoring of a test statistic obtained from fitting a bivariate normal model to the correlated short-term and long-term endpoints. The model can be fitted either using a linear mixed model or by combining the results from separate linear regression models for the short and long-term data .
Result will be presented from a simulation study to investigate the properties of the new method. In addition to verifying control of the type I error rate, these results show that the use of the short-term endpoint data can lead to an increase in power when the short and long-term endpoints are correlated.

I've written a number of posts over the past few years about Panda on Search Engine Watch. Those posts were often focused on helping companies identify and then fix problems that led to a Panda attack. But for today's post, I thought it would be interesting to cover another area of Panda that's important — understanding how your competitors fared during recent Panda updates.
Doing so can help you on several levels, including identifying risky tactics that the competition was using, understanding the type of content strategy that is working (or not working), viewing types of content that got hammered, calculating the severity of the drop in organic search traffic, etc.
There are several third party tools you can use to help track and drill into competitive data, but I'll focus on SEMrush for this post (which has been one of my favorite tools over the years). Full disclosure: I have been an SEMrush customer for years, but was recently given complimentary access to provide feedback on new functionality and reporting. I have always considered SEMrush to be an essential tool in my SEO arsenal.
Using the organic search reporting in SEMrush, you can quickly drill into a niche, identify sites that were impacted by Panda and then dig deeper to surface the keywords and landing pages that were impacted. Since SEMrush provides a live data feature, you can view a fresh drop immediately (and view day-by-day reporting for the past 30 days). And if you've been brought into the mix a little late, such as a few months after the hit, SEMrush enables you to analyze search traffic from previous months.
Before we jump into the reporting, it's important to understand that nothing is better than a company's own analytics reporting. Tools like SEMrush are fantastic, but sometimes aren't as accurate as you'd like them to be (especially for smaller sites without large amounts of search traffic). In situations like that, it's best to use multiple third party sources to help confirm that a website has been hit. For example, you might check SEMrush and Searchmetrics to see if the drop lines up. If both show the drop, then there's a greater chance a hit did actually occur. It's not foolproof, but enables you to access more competitive data to help back up your suspicion.
Organic Search Competitors Report in SEMrush
When beginning a competitive analysis focusing on Panda, I often want to get a high-level view of a category. Since I'm interested in determining which competitors in a niche have been impacted by Panda, I typically take a client's domain and simply enter it in the search field within SEMrush. Once I do, I can easily click the Competitors link in the left menu under Organic Research. I also make sure I select the correct database country-wise. For example, options include Google U.S., Google U.K., Canada, Australia, etc.
Once you access the Competitors Report, you will see a list of domains based on the competition level in organic search. This is a great way to view your competition, since many companies often overlook some of their search competition and simply focus on the largest and most well-known competitors in their space (which are sometimes just offline competitors). There are times I'm helping companies that are relatively new to SEO and don't know the true competition in the SERPs.
Within the Competitors Report, you'll view a grid with many competitors, along with a number of metrics. You'll see common keywords, or keywords that both domains rank for. Then you'll see total organic search keywords for the domain, estimated search traffic and then the number of paid search keywords the site is buying.
It's important to note that the totals are for the timeframe selected. You can always select a month in the upper right corner of the interface to view data for that specific timeframe. This is extremely important to point out, since you don't want to analyze the wrong timeframe when digging into a Panda hit. For example, you could easily analyze the current timeframe when you really want to analyze the month prior to a Panda hit. More on that soon.
Select a Competitor's Domain and View Organic Search Trending
Scanning the list of competitors, you might see some familiar websites. But you might also see some sites that you (or your client) were not aware of. When you are ready to analyze a specific website, you can click that domain to view its organic search reporting.
The dashboard that is initially displayed quickly enables you to see trending over time. You can use this dashboard to check for drops based on the latest Panda update. And if you're moving quickly after a Panda hit, you can view the past 30 days of reporting (versus month by month). That's an awesome feature of SEMrush and one I use often.
I recommend going through this process for a number of the domains in the list of competitors. When you identify a domain with a Panda-like trend, make note of it. Then keep moving on. Your goal now is to identify a number of sites in a given niche that might have been hit by Panda.
Once you have a list of domains that were impacted, you're ready to dig in. We'll start with overall search reporting for the domain in the Positions Report.
Organic Search Reporting by Timeframe (Positions Report)
By clicking Positions under Organic Research, you can see the keywords the domain ranks for, based on the timeframe selected. If you feel a site was impacted by a recent Panda update, then set the timeframe to the month prior to the hit. You want to do this since you are looking for the keywords the site ranked for and the associated landing pages prior to the Panda hit.
I wrote a post last year explaining how to run a Panda report in Google Analytics. Well, this is similar but based on SEMrush data. Engagement is a critical piece to the Panda puzzle, so it's important to understand where Google was driving organic search traffic prior to the algo hit. By doing so, you can often identify problematic content that users were accessing via Google Search. You might view some of the top landing pages and notice immediate problems. I often do.
You can review the keywords and landing pages via this report, which can help you gain a stronger view of content that was ranking prior to the hit. You can get familiar with the common characteristics across those pages and get a feel for overall content quality problems. And you can export this report, too, which you can use in a number of ways down the line (in Excel).
OK, this is great, but wouldn't it be valuable if SEMRush could identify specific keywords that dropped during a certain timeframe? Then you could start to focus on the keywords and landing pages that you knew dropped during that recent update. Well, you can, and it's contained in the Position Changes report. That's our next stop.
Position Changes Reporting
As mentioned above, you can click Position Changes in the Organic Research menu to view a killer report that shows which keywords were lost, gained, decreased or increased in the SERPs based on the timeframe selected. You can do this by month or even by day (if you catch the drop within the past 30 days).
Since we are looking for keywords and landing pages that got hit during a Panda update, you should begin by checking the lost keywords report. You can easily surface those keywords by clicking the red segment of the bar graph in the chart located at the top of the report. Once you do, you will see the last known position where the keyword ranked and the associated URL that was receiving organic search traffic. Similar to what you did earlier, you can review the URLs to start viewing the content, the user experience, etc.
Again, you might notice some glaringly obvious problems during your research. For example, extremely thin content, ad problems, content-rendering problems, scraping issues, extreme pagination problems, etc. Panda has many tentacles, so there are a number of possible problems you might encounter from a content quality standpoint.
Bonus: AdWords Changes Over Time
Now that we've dug into the organic search trending for several competitors in a niche, it's time to quickly check their paid search trending in SEMrush. Yes, I said paid search. The reason is simple. If you see organic search traffic drop while you also see a paid search increase after that drop, it can help confirm that an algo update did impact the site. In addition, you can also dig into the keywords running after the hit to help identify important terms and categories that possibly dropped during the Panda hit.
Understanding the keywords your competition is willing to pay for can help you double-check your own content to make sure you are covering important areas. There are times you might not have content matching those queries and the reporting can help drive a stronger content strategy.
Similar to the organic search reporting we analyzed earlier, you can drill into AdWords trending the same way. For example, you can view paid search trending over time via the dashboard, view the keywords running during specific timeframes via the positions report and then check new paid keywords via the position changes report (even for the past 30 days).
Next Steps – Analyze Panda 4.0 Hits
Now that you're more familiar with competitive analysis for Panda using SEMrush, it's time for you to jump in. Do you know which sites were hit by Panda 4.0 in your niche? Do you know the content quality problems present on those sites? Are you sure you aren't making the same mistakes? By following the steps listed above, you can find out for yourself.
Here are some final recommendations before you jump in:
- Although you'll want to drill into specific sites from the start, I recommend analyzing the niche overall (to identify several domains impacted). Then you can drill into each one to identify content quality problems, keywords that dropped, common themes, paid search changes, etc.
- Always keep a close eye on the timeframe you are analyzing. Again, using the wrong timeframe will give you flawed data and waste precious time. The timeframe you select will stick with you as you load more domains and reports. Just make sure it's the timeframe you want. Ditto for the Google database used (regional).
- Keep in mind that you can export most reports from SEMrush for further analysis in Excel. I do this often in order to filter and drill into specific types of data. I recommend analyzing the data within SEMrush until you isolate specific findings. Then export to Excel for further analysis.
- If you can, try and catch drops within a 30-day window to isolate the algorithm hit (on the specific date it happened). This can be a great way to focus on position changes while the algo hit is fresh. You can also identify any tremors you see as time go on. Remember, John Mueller from Google explained that they can tweak Panda and roll out changes often. You can pick up these tremors via SEMrush if you know which sites have been impacted.
Summary: Analyzing Panda Hits Can Help You Avoid Them
After reading this post, I hope you are excited to tackle some competitive analysis for Panda. There's a lot you can learn from analyzing sites that were hit, including content quality problems, targeting problems, ad problems, usability issues and more. Using a tool like SEMrush can get you moving in the right direction and quickly. Based on what you find, you might choose to implement changes to your own website, produce better content, alter your ad model, tweak usability, etc.

The bass alone
i had learned to ignore the meaning
behind each lyrical mnemonic.
the bass alone– it pulls the trigger
to old, anterograde alarm clocks
the bass alone is an agreement
of the senses disturbed by its push.
cadence impulsively follows beat,
a nonexistent hook to false why's
and true woes that break monotonous
inconsistency, the undefined
habits of defining anything
for illusory understanding.
the bass alone does not have meaning.
its excitement draws from destruction
of reason, curious cat's tongue damaged
to lack guilty conscience for casual
excuses to interpret the bass
as a cue to unwind your gut feeling,
to replay the track whose meaning we've
learned to mutually love and ignore.
the bass, alone, is no more.

Subscribe To Full Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens Theater List Updates
I've already subscribed
This morning it looked like only nine movie theaters nationwide would be showing the special early teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but it turns out that list only consisted of the Regal Cinemas that were participating in the event. In actuality, there will be 30 theaters around the United States and Canada playing the 88-second long first look footage, and now all of those locations have been identified.
As you can see above, the folks over at StarWars.com have published the full list of theaters that will be screening the first ever Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. It's been confirmed that it will be a very short clip, clocking in at just 88-seconds long, but it will be playing in front of all screenings in the specific cinema locations starting on Friday morning, November 28th. It will, however, be expanding to a nationwide release in December - though a specific date isn't mentioned on the site.
Doing his part to tease the event, J.J. Abrams posted a special note titled "Thanksgiving" on the official Bad Robot Twitter page, which you can see below:
Where will you be on Friday morning? Black Friday shopping, or checking out the first ever trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

Error getting tags :
error 404Error getting tags :
error 404
send message [to object] [in time [seconds | ticks | milliseconds]]
send "mouseDown" to button "OK"
send "beep" to me in 20 seconds
send "goThere" && field "Where To" to stack "Destination" in 30
Use the send command to override the normal message path, or to delay a command until a specified time.
The message is an expression that evaluates to a message name, possibly including parameters.
The object is any
The time is an integer. If you don't specify a unit of time, the message is sent after time ticks.
The message can be either the name of a handler or a Revolution statement. If the message is a literal string containing more than one word (for example, if it includes parameters, or if it is a multi-word command), it must be enclosed in double quotes.
Any parameters are evaluated before they are passed to the send command. For example, the following statement sends the mouseUp message with 2 as the first parameter:
send "mouseUp 1+1" to button "Example"
When the send command is used the stack containing the target handler temporarily becomes the defaultStack. All object references in the message are evaluated in the current context i.e. the defaultStack. Therefore references within the message that refer to "this card" or "this stack" will be referring to the card or stack where the target handler is located.
If you specify a time, the message is sent to the object after the specified time has elapsed. The message is added to the pendingMessages function. The ID of the message is returned by the result function. To cancel the message, use the cancel command with this ID.
Important! Specifying a time can affect the order in which statements are executed. If you don't specify a time, the message is sent immediately, and any handler it triggers is completed before the rest of the current handler is executed. If you use the send in time form of the sendcommand--even if you specify a time of zero seconds--the current handler finishes executing before the message is sent.
Note: Using the sendcommand is slower than directly executing the commands using the normal message path. For best efficiency, use the sendcommand only when you want to delay the message or when the handler you want to execute is not in the message path.
put "amountOfLines(" & the id of field thisField of me & ")" into tEvaluationString
put value(tEvaluationString,stack "database") into tNumOfLines
send SomeMessage to me in 50 miliseconds
put the result into SomeMessageID
cancel SomeMessageID

Whether you weave it, slice it or chunk it, adding color to the hair creates radiance and motion and eliminates the look of drab, dull hair.
Accent 10-15 Foils
Accent foils around the hairline will enhance your face by creating a frame. Placing a few foils around the hairline will brighten up dark hair or add depth to light hair. Tired of those pesky grays around your hairline, blend them in by adding a few strategically placed foils. Or make a dramatic statement by adding some vibrant chunks of color. Whether you add subtle or bold tones to the hair this technique works great with any length hair.
Partial 25-35 Foils
A Partial foil will cover ½ of the head; sides, top and crown. Works great as maintenance between colors or blending in extra tones to your present color. Works well on medium to long layers and one length hair.
Full Foil 50+ Foils
A Full foil will cover the entire head. Also a great way to add volume and texture to fine, limp hair. Perfect for all lengths of hair but a must for shorter layers and those wanting the hair to blend top to bottom.

ORIGINAL (4:36 AM EDT): European shares are rallying early in trading as investors appear to temper concerns that an immediate Greek exit from the euro is in the cards.
The DAX and FTSE MIB are leading the charge, already up 1.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively.
In the last few days, numerous investment banks have come out with reports saying that Greece may indeed leave the euro, but that the likelihood of a disorderly Greek exit within the next month is small. Further, a report from German newspaper Der Spiegel indicates that Germany has developed a six-part growth plan for Europe.
The strong rally in Europe today follows modest losses in Asian markets. The Nikkei closed 0.20 percent higher, but the Shanghai Composite fell 0.75 percent.
UPDATE (6:03 AM EDT): Markets are tempering gains across the pond, and are starting to sell off. The DAX is now up 0.8 percent, and the FTSE MIB is just 0.4 percent higher.
UPDATE II (7:12 AM EDT): European equities are now in the red, erasing an earlier rally. The DAX is about flat, but the CAC 40 is down 0.2 percent and the FTSE 100 is down 0.5 percent.

'Teen Mom 3' Dad Matt McCann Shares Visit With Daughter Arabella
The 'Teen Mom 3' dad has struggled to get back into his daughter's life — and his efforts are finally paying off! Matt spent precious moments reconnecting with Arabella, and judging by the adorable photos, she looks like she's loving having daddy back in her life!
After getting sober and winning visitation rights of his daughter, Matt McCann finally got to visit his little girl, Arabella! After a few weeks of visits, the proud papa shared some too-cute daddy/daughter selfies on Nov. 7. We can't believe how much little Bellie looks like her dad!
Matt McCann Visits Daughter Arabella: 'Teen Mom 3' Dad Shares Photos
Matt is now able to see Arabella "every Wednesday and every other Saturday," according to Wet Paint.
Matt shared a beautiful collage of pictures with his daughter from their Nov. 6 visit, along with a sweet message:
Daddy daughter time, I love you, Arabella. pic.twitter.com/FQ1LHXC1Y4
— Matthew McCann (@MatthewMMcCann) November 7, 2013
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Matt decided to commemorate the exciting occasion with 5,000 heartfelt expressions of love!
After fans congratulated Matt on being able to reconnect with his daughter, Matt gushed about how intelligent she is. "She's two and she's so smart. She even 'reads' to me!" he shared on Twitter. How sweet!
Arabella clearly loved the bonding time with her daddy, because she was all smiles and giggles in their adorable photos. Plus, we've never seen Matt look happier — proof that Arabella's smile is just that contagious.
Matt McCann & Alex Sekella Work Out Visitation Arrangements
Alex Sekella worked hard to remove Matt from their daughter's life while he was using drugs. After he went through rehab, she took baby steps to re-introduce him into Arabella's life so that she would be able to develop a relationship with her dad. It's great that they are making progress now — and hopefully Matt and Alex will be able to work out a cohesive co-parenting schedule that helps their wonderful little girl.
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Are you glad that Matt is able to visit Arabella now?

The Zika virus was known to occur sporadically in Africa and Asia. Like HIV and Chikungunya, this virus has suddenly spread to new parts of the world, affecting thousands/millions of people and giving rise to a public health emergency.
Though the actual disease is a mild one, it is dangerous for a pregnant woman. Zika virus infection in pregnancy can infect the fetus, causing miscarriage, or birth defects (commonly, microcephaly).

New York City have yet to kick a ball in an official MLS game but the club already has the 4th highest social media presence in the league.
NYCFC have focused a lot of efforts on promoting the club before the launch of the franchise in the coming year, and it seems to be paying off. 13,000 season ticket holders, 2,000 Third Rail Supporters Group fans, and 850,000 followers across the 4 above-mentioned media are just some of the impressive numbers.
NYCFC are setting up a great base before the big day and it will be interesting to see how long it takes to reach #1, on the pitch and online!

Pressemelding An appeal Letter to the Norwegian Government to Condemn the Government of Nepal for Preventing and Abusing the Tibetans in Exile to Exercise the Right to Vote On 3rd of October was the day for all the Tibetans in exile all over the world to exercise their right to vote. All the Tibetans in exile around the world went to cast their ballots to nominate candidates for the post of Tibetan Prime Minister and the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile. Tibetans in Norway were so excited and delighted to exercise this greatest of human rights 3 October at the Human Rights House. 76% of the Tibetans living in Norway cast their vote and the whole process were put
into reality based on the poll system of Norway when we go to vote for the parliament and commune election. While the Tibetans were practicing this most democratic action in Norway peacefully, our other Tibetan fellow people in Nepal were being violated by the Nepali Police. Nepalese police arrived in full riot gear at the three polling booths in Kathmandu, the region's capital, and ransacked the polling booths. The police took away ballot boxes an hour before the voting was to complete. This is an abuse of human rights and violation of the right to vote in the free world. The undersigned
NGOs therefore urge the Norwegian Government to condemn the Government of Nepal who exercised such action, abuse and violation against the Tibetan people living in Nepal. cc: c: Ambassador Dr. Suresh Chandra Chalise Embassy of Nepal UK Norwegian Tibet Committee Amnesty International Norway Norwegian Burma Committee Norwegian Helsinki Committee Health and Human Rights Info FIAN Norge (Food First Information and Action Network) Fokus ( Forum for Women and Depelopment) Human Rights House Foundation
