A quick meal or breakfast Submitted by: CQUAKER
I started making these for my children when they were very young (and wanted to know what exactly I was putting in their mouths). Now they are a family favorite and a working mom's delight. They have more calories than frozen waffles, but they are packed with good nutrition and keep you full until noon.These are great when made ahead of time. They are very dense pancakes and because they are so dense you can pop them into the toaster to warm up like an eggo. Simply wait until they cool and freeze them or seal them in a container for the fridge. They last about a week in the fridge. I use oat milk because I am a vegetarian and want more protein than soy or rice milk can provide. However, I have used all the milks (including dairy) and they work fine. The calorie calculation is done with oat milk and brown sugar included in the recipe. Values will change depending on the milk you use and if you add the brown sugar or not.Serving Ideas: Serve with fresh fruit or sugar free maple syrup.Submitted by: PAISANS

This is moist and hearty hotcake loaded with pumpkin flavor brought out by traditional holiday spices. You can freeze leftover pancakes in an an airtight freezer bag and reheat the next morning in the microwave (about 1 minute on high).My children ask for this recipe instead of standard pancakes all the time. I love that they get a veggie in their breakfast, and that they don't want syrup with it!!! Submitted by: INSANKNITTY

These low carb Pancakes are soooo good. They have a nutty flavor and are very satisfying. They are also SBD phase 1 friendly. (Flaxseed counts as daily nut allowence)Try rolling up turkey sausages with the pancakes and drizzle with sugarfree syrup.orTake a table spoon or two of lowfat creamcheese and mix with splenda and vanilla and warm in microwave for a "frosting" to spread on topSubmitted by: ALWAYSWAITINGXX

These pancakes cook like real pancakes and work well as a salty or sweet breakfast/snack!!Great texture, color, and flavor :)Submitted by: TEXANBUTTERFLY
Less than 70 calories per pancake, you can easily have two for breakfast and still have room for some turkey bacon or eggs! Almost 2g fiber and 4g protein per pancake as well! Good and good for you, cant beat the simplicity either.Submitted by: SARAHTHOMAS1

Job in football is a privilege - Coyle
Owen Coyle insists he will remain grounded as Bolton scale the heights of the Barclays Premier League.The Glasgow-born manager believes it is a privilege to be earning a handsome living in the game."If I hadn't had a career in football I would still have been paying a fiver to play five-a-side," the 44-year-old said as his fifth-placed team prepared to face Blackpool."I know a real job is getting up at five, six in the morning and going out to work. A lot of people do. It might not be a job they are totally enamoured with but they have a family to look after and bills to pay."So it is a bad day if you can't come to your work with a smile on your face knowing your job is in football. We are very fortunate."Nobody gets more down than me when we lose games. I can be unbearable in those type of moments. But what I do recognise is that when we return to the training ground we are bubbly and ready to go again when something goes against you. I have always done it and always will."

Why Tableau Software (DATA) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tableau Software (DATA - Get Report) was gaining 4% to $79.15 Tuesday after research firm Robert W Baird upgraded the software maker to "outperform" from "neutral."
Baird analyst Steven Ashley talked to Tableau partners and found that they believe the company has only "scratched the surface" of its opportunity. Ashley said the software company's potential market is much larger than industry experts believe.
Microsoft (MSFT) Excel, the software Tableau usually replaces, has 325 million corporate users according to the analyst. Fewer than 500,000 Tableau products are actively used, Ashley said.
While there is room for growth Ashley doesn't expect Tableau to report stronger-than-expected first-quarter results. The analyst anticipates strong, in-line results from the company.

(Boston) -- In a genome-wide association (GWA) study, researchers from Boston University Schools of Medicine (BUSM) and Public Health (BUSPH) have identified several genes which influence degeneration of the hippocampus, the part of the brain most associated with Alzheimer disease (AD). The study, which currently appears online as a Rapid Communication in the Annals of Neurology, demonstrates the efficacy of endophenotypes for broadening the understanding of the genetic basis of and pathways leading to AD.
AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there are no prevention methods. Available drugs only marginally affect disease severity and progression, making AD effectively untreatable.
GWA studies using very large samples have increased the number of robust associations to 10 genes, including APOE. However, these genes account for no more than 35 percent of the inherited risk of AD and most of the genetic underpinning of the disorder remains unexplained. According to the researchers, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain provides in vivo quantitative measures of neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular brain injury that may represent AD-related changes long before clinical symptoms appear. These measures are more powerful than comparisons of individuals with AD with cognitively healthy persons because they avoid misclassification of normal persons who will develop disease in the future.
BUSM researchers conducted a two-stage GWA study for quantitative measures of hippocampal volume (HV), total cerebral volume (TCV) and white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Brain MRI measures of HV, TCV and WMH were obtained from 981 Caucasian and 419 African-American AD cases and their cognitively normal siblings in the MIRAGE (Multi Institutional Research in Alzheimer's Genetic Epidemiology) Study. In addition, similar MRI measures were obtained from 168 AD cases, 336 individuals with mild cognitive impairment and 188 co

How To Remove Those Pesky Ads From Your Kindle
Posted By Laura On December 23, 2012 @ 7:58 pm In Amazon | Comments Disabled
This week thousands of you will probably receive or give a Kindle Fire [1]. And hopefully most of you will love it as much as I do.
Some of you will receive the model that has ads on it. Some of you may not care- some of you may want them gone.
Fortunately you can do that- for $15.
Here are the easy steps to do it.
1. Go to the Manage Your Devices section of Manage My Kindle. This can be done right from the Kindle section of Amazon [2]. Click the PLUS Icon to display more information.
2. In the SPECIAL OFFERS column, click EDIT and follow the instructions. There is a $15 charge and you will see this amount before you confirm. This amount will automatically be pulled from whatever account is hooked up to your One-click. This DOES NOT come out of any gift cards you have applied to your account.
3. Turn the wireless on. The next time you connect the Kindle device wirelessly, the Special Offers will finish unsubscribing.
It's that simple and then no more ads!

Irish Christmas Santa Ornament
Open Edition
cold-cast resin
The Irish Christmas Santa carries a very special Christmas sign reminiscent of the beautiful old ironwork signs that prevail in Ireland, which reads, Nollaig Shona Duit, and means Happy Christmas Day the most common Christmas greeting. A cape to ward off blustery Irish winds keeps warm as does his cable knit Irish sweater. In Santas sack we find some Irish goodies; lucky coins, fishing boat, a large shamrock, jar of orange marmalade, book of Irish proverbs and a sheep rocker. Santa stands before Irish stone fences which are prevalent all around the countryside. This jolly Irish man, with a twinkle in his eyes, will make sure that everyone has a Nollaig Sona Duit.

Interview with the Special Envoy for Libya
"Ultimately, it will be up to the Libyan people to decide their future ... clearly there can be no return to the status quo that existed before the crisis."
13 July 2011 – Brokering a political solution to the conflict in Libya is the job of the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Libya, Abdel-Elah Al-Khatib, who was at UN Headquarters this week to brief the Secretary-General and the Security Council on his latest diplomatic efforts and developments in the North African nation.
With the conflict entering its fifth month, the United Nations is intensifying efforts to reach a political solution. Mr. Al-Khatib, a former Foreign Minister from Jordan, spoke with the UN News Centre and DPA E-News on the prospects for peace and the challenges of his assignment.
Abdel-Elah Al-Khatib : What went through my mind was the complexity of the situation, first and foremost. But also the desire to help the Libyan people, the Arab country of Libya, to get out of this crisis and to find a political solution that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people. This is what I have been doing for the last four months. I thought if I could help the Secretary-General and the United Nations in finding a political solution, that will be an important contribution, not only to Libya but to the whole region.
Q. How familiar were you with Libya before you took on the assignment?
A. I can't claim that I was an expert on Libya, but I knew Libyan politics to some extent. I served more than five and a half years as my country's Foreign Minister, so I had many encounters with different personalities in Libya and I knew that that country was facing certain challenges that, in this particular crisis, needed the efforts of the international community, and that of the Arab world and African countries in order to help the Libyan people meet these challenges and find a political solution.
Q. How important is it to have someone from the Arab region to handle this assignment?
A. I think the UN is bound with what is in the Security Council resolutions, especially resolution 1973 which calls for an immediate, comprehensive ceasefire for addressing the humanitarian needs and providing humanitarian protection for the Libyan people and also for fulfilling the legitimate demands of the Libyan people – this is the mandate in the Security Council resolution. And this is where the United Nations stands on this.
A. I think here is a very high [level of] distrust and the gap is very wide between the two parties. The government sees the opposition as responsible for bringing international military actions against the country. The opposition is convinced that without those actions there would have been annihilation of the civilian population in Benghazi. They are fearful of any solution that does not guarantee a political change. This is why it is difficult, but also very important to find a political process that allows the Libyan people to fulfill their aspirations for a better future and in a country that enjoys democratic rights.
Q. What happens after the guns stop firing in Libya?
A. I think there is a need for a process of reconciliation; there is a need for a process of democratization, of building democratic institutions; and also there is an urgent need for a process of reconstruction and rebuilding the country and allowing its people to enjoy its wealth and resources.
Q. How does the UN come into those equations?

Our CSA Farmer Reuben DeMaster is an entrepreneurial farmer who is always busy adding to his offerings. For instance, this year he has added a Saturday farm market to his delivered CSA where he not only features his own organically grown produce, but local farm products from other organic growers (such as grass fed beef and honey), his own roasting chickens, lamb, pork, eggs, and some lightly sprayed fruit from nearby farmers. Because his farm is tucked into the Northwest corner of Lehigh County, PA, he also features some unique and unusual products to entice customers to travel to him. These include whole grain breads, desserts, and pizza baked in his wood fired outdoor brick oven. When we arrived he was busy making a Margarita pizza.

This year he is also adding in a fall CSA. (Now accepting members.) He also creatively added a chef this spring to make Saturday evening dinners featuring seasonal dishes created from products grown on the farm, as well as teach cooking classes. Alas the chef left before we could take advantage of his expertise. He hopes to add in more children's education and activities in the future.
We have participated in his wife's yogurt making class which was delightful.
His farm, Willow Haven Farm, is included in the Naturally Grown organization as a member, with stricter standards than the government defining organic practices.
Reuben's intern of two years Imbert, indicated that moving his family out from the city to become Reuben's Intern was the best decision he had ever made in his life. This man grins from ear to ear when you meet him at the farm.
How we found Reuben is a short story involving both the Lehigh County Annual Farm Tour and my slow realization that our backyard garden/mini farm needed to morph into something different than annual vegetables and weeds. At the time, our internet connection was slow and frequently disrupted, making it difficult to do research, so when our local paper advertised the annual farm tour, my hubby and I went to enjoy the day. We were impressed with him and his farm and signed up to receive several boxes of vegetables that fall. The initial vegetables were terrific and in January we signed up for his summer CSA. Having the vegetables delivered to our home made the CSA doable for us. If we had needed to travel out to the farm to pick them up, it probably would not have worked for us. Currently we are in our second year of participating in his CSA. Reuben has a great cooperative spirit and has worked out arrangements with some local families to deliver the vegetables weekly on Wednesday afternoons to his customers in exchange for their own shares. He also works other arrangements out for people who choose to help out on the farm. Please check out his website listed above for more details, but know from a customer perspective, he has done a lot of creative thinking and implementation. Each time a box is delivered to us it is like getting a little bit of Christmas – always a delightful surprise!

For reference I have thin, fine, color treated hair. I have been test driving this, and L'Oreal's Advanced Total Repair 5. This one lost. I used each for a full 6 days in a row. On day one I used a clarifying shampoo, then 6 says of the shampoo, always with the same conditioner (DermOrganic...the best!) and the same styling products (Redken 07 Layer Lift & Gelatine) so that it was only the shampoo that changed. I had only one good hair day with this...the first day I used it. After that my hair was just flatter with less body, and harder to style and manage, and looked more wrecked, flat, frizzy, and rat-like by the end of the day. It lathers well and I do like the scent of this one slightly better.

I have highlighted blonde thin hair.i try every shampoo from cheap to pricey.this is awful. Although my hair was very soft and shiny,it was beyond Flat. Looked liked I needed to wash it, pancake flat. I would never buy it again.

I like this shampoo for the fact that it makes my hair very shiny but it has both sulfates and cocamidopropyl betaine, my number one enemy. Upon washing hair felt dry, not tangled but definitely dry, the conditioner is great, however you have to use a lot to feel some slip, hair looks shiny thanks to all those sulfates getting my hair super clean, I don't understand how can they advertise this for thinning/aging/older hair with that much bad stuff in it. I'm in my forties and this shampoo/conditioner didn't impress me.
May 31: tried this again and I liked it better this time, I've been taking really good care of my hair and it's much healthier than it was when I first tried, this shampoo can't be used on really dry hair but on healthy hair feels really good and almost didn't loose any hair in the shower.

I have spent a fortune on my hair over my past 46 years. For the past 6 years or so I have had terribly dry hair and tried everything, but at best I have had so so results with products. If they do anything to condition my hair then it falls flat and looks dirty, if it gives volume then it drys it out. I mean I have tired everything, even from other countries. I bought this because I thought since it isn't expensive what do I have to loose. This is GREAT!!!!! I use it with the Age Defy conditioner. My hair has never looked so good! It is full and shiny, and not a bit dry. I was even scared after reading some reviews that it drys hair out, as my hair is already dry from age and color. This did exactly what it advertised. I even insisted my mother and sisters buy it. This is the first time I have felt I should write a review on any hair product, but I just want anyone who was thinking about buying please do yourself a favor and BUY IT!!

I was skeptical when I purchased the shampoo and conditioner, but they are great. I especially love the conditioner which provided enough moisture for my very thick, very highlighted hair. Great product for the price! I will definitely purchase again.

Love this shampoo. Hair is shiny,soft and bouncy. I was using nioxin but this is so much better. My hair is much less frizzy and looks very healthy
Didn't work for me, sadly. The first time I used this along with the conditioner, I had hair that is bouncy and full! The second time (next day), it felt coated, like I put on saran wrap, and it was not as bouncy. The third day, I just shampooed, different conditioner, ugh, felt like I had never washed it and made my scalp itchy and bumpy. I tried it again, a couple a days later, MAJOR scalp itch and hair fallout. Returned the shampoo (bottle leaked all over the place, tightly closed, upright huh, right) kept the conditioner for those days that my ends were dry. I have an oily scalp, must wash every day. Derm told me to stay away from volumizing shampoos and conditioners because of the high alcohol content and panethol. One lippie for nice scent. I tend to stay away from Pantene shampoos anyway because they never work for me. I thought I would try this because of the reviews. Their conditioners aren't bad if I stay away from the volumizing ones.

I don't usually use shampoo, as I use WEN, but I found the shampoo and conditioner for $7.50, so I thought I would try. I have naturally curly hair which has been permanently straightened with an Aveda system. My hair is on the dry side, but in good condition. I do have several greys and color my hair. The shampoo did lather well and made my hair feel very dry, so I was a bit worried. It did not strip my color, but my hair did feel dry. After the shampoo I used the conditioner and combed it through my hair. I left it on for a couple of minutes and rinsed. Followed with my Macadamia oil and dryed. My hair was soft, smooth and bouncy. It did not feel dry at all or weighed down (as I have fine hair). I might repurchase after I run out of all my WEN!

I've tried this 3 times....first time was good, 2nd not so good, 3rd great! I will keep using it to see how if it has cumulative effects - maybe once the bottle is gone, my hair will truly look 10 yrs younger. All in all, I have to say I like it quite a bit so far. Will update later.
After seeing Courtney Cox, the spokesperson advertising for Pantene Expert Collection, I had to go out and buy it. I have used a few Pantene formulas in the past and gotten good results but nothing to write home about. This, on the other hand, is absolutely amazing. I washed my hair with the Age Defy formula and have never had a shampoo that made my hair feel conditioned and slick but this does. I also followed with the Age Defy Conditioner, which I combed through and left on for 3 - 5 minutes. It rinses clean and feels like silk. I also use Aveda Damage Control serum/spray to protect before drying and flat ironing. I must say that I am 45, color monthly, blow dry daily, flat iron daily etc. My hair is also 90% WHITE underneath the color so it can be VERY unruly. I also live in the south which is known for humidity. It's been pouring rain for three days and my hair has not frizzed at all. My hair is soft, silky, shiny, manageable and full of body. I wish the bottles were larger but I will definitely be repurchasing the shampoo/conditioner. Now I'm on the hunt for the Age Defy treatment masque and kind of want to try the Advanced Keratin formula but I don't see how it could top Age Defy.

The quarterback battle to replace Cody Clements just got interesting at La Habra.
Clark Livingston, the expected starting quarterback for Orange Lutheran, has transferred to La Habra and could push senior Cole Wolterman for the starting job.
Livingston threw for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns last season.
He still needs to be approved by the CIF-Southern Section office to be eligible to play this season.
La Habra coach Fank Mazzotta's comments
On Livingston enrolling at La Habra: "It's something you don't expect. You don't expect to get a transfer this late, especially a high-profile one."
On how this effects senior QB Cole Wolterman and junior Sean Sparling, who have been the frontrunners all summer: "The kids are working hard. They are still our guys. But we want to give a young man an opportunity."
On eligibility process: "It's a simple thing. They had to move and they moved into this area."

Wolterman assumes La Habra quarterback role
By Steve Ramirez
LA HABRA - Cole Wolterman is sort of the missing link for the La Habra High School football team.
The Highlanders, who have won four consecutive CIF-Southern Section titles, appear to have nearly everything in place for their drive to five.
The question mark is at quarterback, where Southwest Division Player of the Year Cody Clements is gone.
Enter Wolterman, who understands the task at hand.
"Quarterback is already a tough position as it is, especially to follow someone like Cody," Wolterman said. "It's a big challenge, but I'm not that worried about it. I believe I can do it."
On the surface, Wolterman appears to be the perfect fit for La Habra. At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he's able to combine physicality with speed and has enjoyed success at the position while leading the junior varsity two years ago.
But the learning curve for him will be on the mental side. He must get up to speed for the complex reads – both passing and runs – that are required in coach Frank Mazzotta's offense.
Mazzotta likes what he's seen so far.
"He's really worked hard and done a nice job getting ready since fall camp started," Mazzotta said. "He's fast, and he's a good runner, which are the strengths that are really going to make him the right quarterback for our offense.
"He's getting better at the decision part. In our offense, not only is he making pass decisions, but there are a lot of run reads that he has to make. He's doing that. (Our) quarterback is the point guard. He needs to find the right guy to get the ball to."

St. Paul camp report: Swordsmen plan to run away from trouble
By Steve Ramirez
SANTA FE SPRINGS – The book on the St. Paul High School football team is supposed to begin and end with senior running back Michael Ortega.
But the Swordsmen are far from a one-man team.
Ortega, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards, leads the show, but there is also senior fullback David Cabral, who ran for 828; speedster Marcus Garcia; sophomore Elijah Carter and Savanna transfer Jamari Thompson.
"Everyone of those guys can run and they can fly," St. Paul coach Marijon Ancich said Tuesday. "It's rare to have five guys like that. This is the fastest group of guys I've had and they might be the fastest group in the history of the school.
"We have five guys who all can run about 4.5 seconds (in the 40-yard dash), which is fantastic for a high school team. It makes a huge difference because they can make a big play. Normally, it would be a 3-yard gain, but they have the ability to explode and they are up field. That's the key to the thing (this season), their speed and whether we can play defense."

Who wins the Del Rio League
For most of the past few decades, the Del Rio League has been about Santa Fe. But the Chiefs have tasted from the league championship cup in three years. Is this the year they end the trend?
They are the obivious choice, with deep roster and athletic players like quarterback Christian Mahlstede and receiver/wrestler Joey Davis.
But the running attacks of El Rancho and Pioneer could make this race interesting. There's also the question if La Serna can recover from graduation losses and can California bounce back from last year's injury-riddled season.
I think it's the Chiefs year. But what do you think?
Football: Dons hope to be movin' on up
By Steve Ramirez
PICO RIVERA – There was a time when the El Rancho High School football team was king of the Del Rio League.
The Dons have shown steady improvement under fourth-year coach Rick Zepeda and are expected to continue that trend this year. And part of the reason is the backfield duo of Ronnel Lone and Josh Lopez, who come into the season as one of the better running-back tandems in the era.
Lone, who combines power with speed, is El Rancho's Mr. Inside, with Lopez handling the outside chores. Together, they have the Dons thinking about a possible Del Rio League title, which has been elusive in recent years.
"We have a lot of talent coming back," Lone said. "For this team, we have to win everything. I don't believe there is a team that should beat us.
"We've gotten better each year, improving our win total. This year, we just have to peak. It's time for it."
Football camp tour: El Rancho
We continue our tour of some of the area's football fall camps. Today we look at El Rancho.
The Dons, who lost in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs last year, begin the season as one of the favorites in the Del Rio League.
Here's what I wrote in today's paper:
There will be nothing complex about how the El Rancho High School football team attacks opposing defenses this season.
The Dons, armed with two of the better running backs in the area, will run, run and run some more.
"We've got a good group of backs," El Rancho coach Rick Zepeda said. "I have a combination of senior kids and some young guys coming up.
"There's some speed, and they're mature and know what to do with the football."
It starts with senior Ronnel Lone, who rushed for 613 yards and two touchdowns last season, but the Dons also have Josh Lopez, who's a nice complement to Lone. Lopez rushed for 221 yards during the Dons' first three games last season before suffering a season-ending injury. Together, they're one of the better tandems in the area.
"It's exciting," Zepeda said of the Dons' prospects this season. "We have enough guys to push everybody. We're pretty excited. We can't wait for the season to start."
The Dons, who were just 6-5 last season and ended the year with a 41-21 loss to Burroughs in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs, are expected to be one of the top teams in the area this fall, and the chief challenge to rival Santa Fe in the Del Rio League.
The team already is off to a quick start in fall camp.
"This is our second week in pads," Zepeda said. "The boys are coming along. I like what I've seen so far."
El Rancho begins the season Sept. 2 at Los Altos.
Football: Whittier Lions Club to host Del Rio League kickoff dinner
The Whittier Host Lions Club will pay tribute to the upcoming Del Rio League football season with its third annual kickoff dinner.
The event, which will feature comments from each of the six league coaches, is scheduled for 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25, at the Whittier Radisson Hotel, 7320 Greenleaf Ave.
Cost for the dinner is $15 in advance, and $20 at the door. The dinner features a Mexican-style buffet. Presale tickets are available at California, El Rancho, La Serna, Pioneer, Santa Fe and Whittier high schools.
Football: El Rancho to honor coaching legend Ernie Johnson
he deadline for reservations for a dinner to honor former El Rancho High football coach Ernie Johnson has been extended to Monday.
Those interested can contact the school's activities office at 562-801- 5314.
The dinner is scheduled for Aug. 27 at 5:30 p.m.
Johnson coached at El Rancho during the 1950s and '60s and compiled a record of 108-31-5. He also won nine league titles and three CIF-Southern Section championships, the final one in 1968.
The 1966 Dons team, which also won a CIF-SS title, is considered the top team in area history. It won a national title.
Santa Fe report: This year's for the ol' ball coach
Santa Fe High School's football team began practice this week in what it hopes translates into a Del Rio League championship and a CIF- Southern Section Southeast Division title.
The Chiefs, though, are motivated for another reason – coach Jack Mahlstede, who's retiring at the end of this season after 34 years.
"I think it is big for (coach Mahlstede)," senior receiver Joey Davis said. "He's changed a lot in how he acts around us (this year). He's more laid back.
"I think it will be really good in his last year. We want to play well for him. He's been here 40-50 years, I don't even know, but we want to send him out on top."
Mahlstede, who's 228-134-5, is treating it like another of his previous seasons, but he also recognizes that it will be special as well.
"It will be interesting," he said. "I've put a lot of time in.
"I don't know what I will do next year. I have a grandson at Sonora (and one at Santa Fe). I'm sure Christian (Mahlstede, the Chiefs' quarterback) will play college ball somewhere. It's going to be different this year, but it will be fun."

"Condensed Isn't the Best Option"
I would certainly recommend this audiobook but would encourage an outright purchase of the book. The audio version was condensed and missed some of the drama and suspense that the full version gives.
It truly captured the pain, anguish, drama and risk of the mission and the personalities of those that lived it. You can feel the oppressiveness of the jungle, the haunting hopelessness of the prisoners and the elation of the rescue.
Mr. Naughton gave a superb rendition of the story. His emotional inflections made the story come alive and allowed the listener to actually experience the drama.
The brutality that the prisoners endured, the mindless, senseless treatment by the capturing forces and the despair that they must have felt made the story that much more inspiring. War is hell.
"Captivating and Exciting"
A quick listen that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The tatics and technology employed in the story are fascinating and keep you engaged. The storyline is relevant and draws you into the story.

You want to settle an argument among friends about the following question: Does loss of sleep reduce a person's physical strength? You decide to test this hypothesis: Sleeping only four hours in a night instead of eight hours will increase the time it takes a person to run 100 meters the following day. Working with people is much more complicated than working with plants or animals, but let's see how it might work as an example of counterbalancing.
Determining the Effect of Loss of Sleep on Physical Strength
You will need eight friends who agree to work with you; they are the subjects of your experiment. It would be better if all the subjects were of the same sex and close to the same age. Sex and age should be constants, as nearly as you can make them.
Your independent variable will be the differences in the amount of time your subjects have spent sleeping the night before they do the test run. Your dependent variable will be the time it takes each person to run 100 meters. You will need a stopwatch and note-taking materials.
For the first night, randomly divide your subjects into two groups. Group 1: All four subjects will sleep eight hours. They will go to bed at 10:30 P.M. and get up at 6:30 A.M. Group 2: All four subjects will sleep only four hours. They will go to bed at 2:30 A.M. and get up at 6:30 A.M.
We are assuming for this example that all have agreed to run 100 meters out at the school athletic field, and to do their best running against a stopwatch.
The next morning, as soon as you can, get all of your subjects together at the school athletic field. With your stopwatch ready, have each person do a 100-meter run and record the time for each. Their running times are the dependent variable in this experiment.
Now for the counterbalancing part of this experimental design (also called the cross-over design): On the second night, the Group 1 subjects (who got eight hours sleep the night before) sleep only four hours. The Group 2 subjects sleep eight hours. (See table 5.1.)
When all the running trials are finished, compute the average, or mean, timings of all eight runs for each of the eight-hour sleepers and for each of the four-hour sleepers. Then try to determine if there is a meaningful difference. In this experiment, counterbalancing is used to take care of differences that may already exist between the two groups. It would be practically impossible to find two groups of people who are nearly matched in running ability and other characteristics. Therefore, if you want to make a fair test using only a controlled experiment, you need a counterbalancing plan as well.
This running experiment shows how the counterbalancing principle can help to "wash out" differences among experimental subjects. There is no way, obviously, to wash out all of the differences among the eight people in this example.
It would be hard to do such a counterbalancing plan in many controlled experiments, even ones with simple subjects like popcorn plants. The problem there would be that, once you have done an experiment with one variable, for example, a fertilizer additive, you cannot switch the subjects so as to get a fair test.

Rick S's 2004 BMW 330i
Items installed:
- JBL MS-8 system integration processor
- JBL MS-A5001 amplifier
- Infinity Kappa 5-1/4" component speakers
- Infinity Kappa 10" subwoofer
- Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker sealed enclosure
Upgrading the sound without changing the look
Would you believe the car pictured below had its sound system completely overhauled, yet kept its factory stereo? These days, you can add high-performance upgrades and get luxurious sound without having to tear your dash apart. Rick, one of our vice presidents, put this concept to the test by adding a JBL MS-8 system integration processor to his 2004 BMW 330i, then replacing his factory speakers and adding a JBL amp and an Infinity sub. The result is one happy VP. After hearing about it, I had to take a few minutes to talk to him about his new system.
The dash of Rick's BMW is unchanged after the audio upgrade |
Even "premium" factory systems can stand improvement
Buck: Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
Rick: I didn't want to touch the dash of my car. I like the look of it and I don't want anything messy hanging off it. So, nothing's changed as far as the factory radio is concerned — all the controls are exactly the same. What has changed is the sound — the experience of listening to music is new and exciting again.
Buck: Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
Rick: My car came with a Harman Kardon premium system from the factory. It sounded okay, but not as good as I wanted.
Buck: Why did you choose these products?
Rick: What's in there now are higher-quality aftermarket products made by the same company. Harman International also owns JBL and Infinity, and the results are like night and day. I knew going into it that just adding the processor would improve my sound. But upgrading the other parts of the system at the same time made it sound really super.
The MS-8 processor's display |
Buck: Did the installation accomplish what you wanted?
Rick: Absolutely. The new Infinity Kappa component speakers sound brighter, and the stereo imaging is so much better than it used to be. The subwoofer and that powerful little amp add a complete bottom end to all my music that I just didn't have before. The MS-8 has this little display we used for the automatic calibration process. If I wanted, I could mount it on the dash and adjust the 31-band EQ manually as I listen.
Buck: How difficult was the installation of the processor?
Rick: It's not that hard to integrate. You plug the MS-8 into the end of the system, after the factory stereo, or in my case the factory amp.
Buck: How about the amp? Anything special?
Rick: It's small, so it's easy to find a place to install it. You should see my car. It's really slick. The amp's in there to power the sub. The MS-8 contains a smaller amplifier that takes care of and improves the sound of the other speakers.
Thanks to the compact designs of the amp and processor, and this neat installation, Rick still has plenty of room in his trunk for luggage. |
A closer look at the products
It's clear that Rick is in love with the way his new audio system sounds. Below is a more in-depth run down of the products he's using.
The JBL MS-8 System Integration Digital Processor is one of the best ways to improve your sound quality dramatically, especially if you want to keep your factory stereo, or have a system with more than four speakers. The MS-8 automatically equalizes and time-corrects your audio so you'll hear the entire spectrum of your music's notes evenly, with no distorting peaks or echoes, exquisitely balanced and tuned for every seat in your car. The MS-8 can drive up to eight speakers with its built-in amp, and includes individual preamp output control, a 31-band graphic equalizer, and a wireless remote for fine-tuning while you cruise. |
JBL's stylish 7" by 7" Class-D MS Series amps (Rick used the single-channel MS-A5001 amplifier) can tuck into virtually any hiding place that has adequate ventilation. A bright digital display shows the filter slopes, crossover points, and gain settings for each channel. These amps come with a set-up CD and have built-in indicator lights that help you set the input gain perfectly. They also feature preamp and speaker-level inputs so you can hook them up to almost any system. |
The Kappa component speaker system features woofers with responsive woven glass-fiber cones that won't flex during a hard workout. The soft dome tweeters handle an impressively wide range of frequencies which help define the intricate details in your music. Rick's car used a set of 5-1/4" Kappa components in the front doors. |
Each 10" Infinity Kappa subwoofer features the Selectable Smart Impedance design, which lets you build exactly the system you want, high-power or multi-sub, for the kick you like. The Sound Ordnance sealed enclosure focuses the subwoofer's output to create tight, well-defined bass. |

Nikon Coolpix P7700
Announced Aug 22, 2012
12 megapixels | 3″ screen | 28 – 200 mm (7.1×)
Ask a question in forums about the Nikon Coolpix P7700.
Ask a new question
I purchased a nearly new Nikon P7700 camera a few weeks ago. Hardly noticeable, but there, about 6 sparkling pixels showing on the LCD screen in dark areas. Two of these are a little larger and blink off and on...one green and one red. The tiny sparkling ones seem to disappear quickly. I have never had this on any other camera. Is this an acceptable condition? I forget about them as they are not very prominent, but I am now wanting to sell this camera to purchase a Sony RX10. (Maybe I want an...
Just curious if any P7700/P7800 owners are using the Gorillapod "hybrid" tripod. If so, does leaving the quick release plate attached to the camera conflict with the battery door opening?
I was considering purchasing one but I don't want to have to remove the plate every time I want to access the battery or SD card.
Anything wrong with P7700 firmware update v1.1 and v1.2 ? I know about v1.3 and batteries.
--Christian Amateur Photographer
Just got a used Nikon P7700 (nearly new, strap had never been put on it). I cannot get the level indicator to show on the display even though I found it under monitor settings and turned it on. Neither the bar type which I prefer nor the compass type will show on the display. Any help will be appreciated greatly.
Also, my firmware version is 1.0. What advantages would I experience from installing v1.2 and v1.3 ?
--Christian Amateur Photographer
I've been using a 2004 PowerShot A95 for nature photography, most often mushrooms at ground level in forest environments. Here is what I'd like to upgrade to:
Flip-out LCD, absolute must when working on the ground
Macro distance <5cm
Better quality images
The Nikon Coolpix P7700 looks like the best candidate. I considered the Canon SX50, but the camera body is too large to fit in the tight spaces I typically use it. The sample image will give you an idea of what I'm currently...
I have just bought a Nikon p7700. The airplane like the one for time zone change appears in the LCD screen all of the time. It is not hurting anything, but I would like to remove it. I can clear the screen with the disp button except for the airplane. I have tried working with the time zones with no results. Thanks for the help. Strobee
Thanks for any direction to find this information.
HiI'm new to photography and have purchased a Nikon P7700 to learn with and I would like to know if the the sensor can be damaged by IR assist light ?. I took a few indoor shots of my son in front of a large mirror and as I zoomed in to 200mm the Assist light came on, reflected off the mirror back down to the lens and resulted in a huge white light hitting the sensor. I have read that sensors can be damaged by extreme bright light so is it possible I have done some damage ?.

Hi everybody. I am a happy P7700 owner and recently purchased the 58mm Siolex adapter for the body thread. Can anyone recommend a tele converter for this 58mm adapter on the P7700?
(I have read about Raynox, Siolex and Canon converters but never seen any of them in the photo stores of my hometown. Maybe someone has even shot some example photos with such an adapter and would be willing to upload them here ..)
thx a lot,forestgreen (Christian)
Currently shoot Nikon D800 & D600.
Have Sony HX20 for those P+S times but looking to improve on the stills side. Very happy with Video out of this Cam but would like a little more quality as far as stills are concerned.
Before I take the plunge on a RX100II (current Amazon UK price £559 which is a lot of money for me) I would be grateful to hear from those with RX100 and thoughts on overall IQ between these two, HX20 & RX100?

Fiora is MY!!!!!!!!
Er, what's that about? This is a fanfiction about Riven...no mention of Fiora. In fact, it ENDED before Fiora even came out.
Just a trolling my way here until Jayko gets his lazy ass up and write about the party!

A real shame too. I was amused. Such a quick turn around... I may try my hand at something like this. Although...I wonder how the public would look upon someone who isn't a summoner coming in and wooing Riven....or any of the others. I have a whole mess of ideas. I suppose I'll wait and see if I have generated an interest.


text: I'm about to purchase either the M-TAC or the Crossbreed based on what I read EVERYWHERE on the forums I frequent. In the hot and humid DFW area of Texas (108 today), I stick to the 642 in a Mika or Nemesis pocket holster, but would like to carry the XD 40 4" as an option year-round, not just after it cools down. I took it to church this morning with a t-shirt and golf shirt covering garment in a DeSantis "Tuck This", and as long as I'm wearing a t-shirt it's fine. I need something with a backing, otherwise it's uncomfortable to me without one.

3 A typical FifaPosted: 20/11/2008A big improvement on Fifa 08 but still the same as any other football game. I love football myself but on this you play one match and you have experienced the full game. Extremely boring after 10 games into your first season. Maybe if you just rented this game it would make it more worthwhile. Good graphics and improved gameplay but no variation what-so-ever.
4 Great variation on a basic game.Posted: 20/11/2008I really liked this game, I found that it was such an entertaining game which made you want to find out what happens next and who you are going to have to kill next. The weapons you are given are good in itself but the way each one can be used differently is great. Graphics are good and so is gameplay. After about 60-75% completion it starts to get boring and repetatative but overall I would recommend it.
5 Awesome quality.Posted: 20/03/2008Yeah i got one about a year ago now, better quality than my 37" hd tv haha! Takes a lot of computer power though if you want to play games in full rez. Easy to use and for £180 not bad price. A must have for all computer geeks and nerds such as me. :)
5 Heart-warmer.Posted: 16/01/2008This was a lovely film, took my girlfriend to see it and it really did make us smile.A good old love comedy film which makes it an amazing film.Can't fault it.
2 Ouch!Posted: 16/01/2008Ok I'm not one for critism but this was actually a really bad film,the story took to long to get into then when it did get into it, it was over before you could get back from the lavatory!Wish they had supplied the 3D glasses at all cinemas, not just the London cinemax's, may have bumped this rating upto a 3 or maybe 4 stars.All in all godda say its a bad film, sorry.
5 WoW probably THE best MMORPG ever!Posted: 29/12/2007Well i have played this game for over 8 months now, and what can I say? It has every aspect which makes a game amazing!A friendly atmosphere, endless gaming,amazing graphics.I would give this game 10/10.
5 Top notchPosted: 24/12/2007Amazing value for money, got mine about 6 months ago and it been working perfectly, very quick loading speed in my k800i. cant say that there is any problems with it. even comes with its own adapter so im guessing you can put it in other phones/cameras also. cant fault it.
3 What a fun but silly game.Posted: 14/05/2007Hahaha, such a fun game, endless hours of just kicking zombies in and nothing else, gets a little tedius but always a good way to take out any anger. 6.5/10

I would say I have a passion for more than just cooking and
photography. I love the outdoors, sitting outside with friends in
the back around the fire, and going out once and a while. I enjoy
working out. Anything from running to riding on my bike, to
volleyball when its nice out. No kids, no baggage, no drama. Nobody
likes red flags anyway.

Eight years after 9/11, Taliban roils 80 percent of Afghanistan
The hijacking of a NATO supply truck and Stephen Farrell's kidnapping have focused attention on rising insecurity in Afghanistan's north, strikingly illustrated on a new map.
Kabul, Afghanistan
A retaliatory NATO airstrike that killed scores of civilians. The kidnapping of New York Times journalist Stephen Farrell. The deadly shooting of his Afghan translator and the death of a British soldier in a violent and controversial rescue operation days later.
The events of this week have drawn attention to the unraveling security in northern Afghanistan in a way months of the creeping insurgency had not.
Long considered one of the most stable and peaceful parts of the country, the northern provinces have seen rising violence as heavy insurgent activity has spread to 80 percent of the country – up from 54 percent two years ago. (See map.) Under increasing pressure in southern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, militants who have long sought to extend their reach have turned their attention to the north, where NATO has established a second supply route in the wake of debilitating attacks on its southern pipeline.
"[Militants] have been trying to widen the ground for the insurgency in Afghanistan and now they have got momentum," says Waliullah Rahmani, executive director of the Kabul Center for Strategic Studies. "The militants are eager to target this route to prevent a smooth supply chain from northern Afghanistan."
Last week's airstrike targeted two fuel tankers headed to supply NATO troops in Kabul that had been hijacked by the Taliban. Up to 70 civilians who had gathered to siphon fuel from the trucks, which had become mired in mud in Kunduz Province, were killed in the strike.

A symmetrizer of a nonsymmetric matrix A is the symmetric matrixX that satisfies the equationXA =A tX, wheret indicates the transpose. A symmetrizer is useful in converting a nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem into a symmetric one which is relatively easy to solve and finds applications in stability problems in control theory and in the study of general matrices. Three designs based on VLSI parallel processor arrays are presented to compute a symmetrizer of a lower Hessenberg matrix. Their scope is discussed. The first one is the Leiserson systolic design while the remaining two, viz., the double pipe design and the fitted diagonal design are the derived versions of the first design with improved performance.

Based on what we know so far, the security and privacy implications are frightening. Under the Patriot Act, Amazon is subject to government requests for information about any individual user who is under investigation. The Patriot Act has relatively low due process restrictions. Under the controversial law, enacted after the September 11 attacks, the government can even prevent Amazon from notifying targeted individuals that their data is being turned over to authorities.
Of course, government requests aside, the Silk browser still reveals a treasure trove of user data for Amazon to use as it wishes.
For every user that browses on Silk, Amazon will have access to his or her IP or MAC addresses, as well as a thorough account of each user's browsing history and profile.
"Amazon Silk also temporarily logs web addresses known as uniform resource locators ('URLs') for the web pages it serves and certain identifiers, such as IP or MAC addresses, to troubleshoot and diagnose Amazon Silk technical issues," Amazon writes in its Terms & Conditions. "We generally do not keep this information for longer than 30 days."
"Every page they see, every link they follow, every click they make, every ad they see is going to be intermediated by one of the largest server farms on the planet," writes one concerned blogger. "People who cringe at the data-mining implications of the Facebook Timeline ought to be just floored by the magnitude of Amazon's opportunity here. Amazon now has what every storefront lusts for: the knowledge of what other stores your customers are shopping in and what prices they're being offered there."

Canada Blocks Petronas' Bid for Progress Energy Resources
TORONTO -- Canada has blocked the Malaysian state-owned oil firm Petronas' $5.2 billion (C$5.17 billion) bid for gas producer Progress Energy Resources (PRQ:Toronto), saying the proposed investment would not provide a net benefit to Canada.
Federal Industry Minister Christian Paradis did not explain his decision in a statement released just before midnight Friday, saying only that it was made after a careful and thorough review of the proposed transaction.
"Due to the strict confidentiality provisions of the (Investment Canada) Act, I cannot comment further on this investment at this time," said Paradis.

Vote in Our Poll Petronas has up to 30 days to make any changes to the proposed deal and send it back to the federal government for another review under the terms of the Investment Canada Act. Petronas' offer for Progress is substantial at $5.2 billion, but it's eclipsed by the $15.2 billion (C$15.1 billion) that China National Offshore Oil Co. (CEO) is offering for oil producer Nexen Inc. (NXY) Progress did not immediately respond to calls for comment. Observers had been looking for signals from the review of the Petronas deal for an indication of how the government might proceed with the more controversial deal to buy Nexen. Both deals involve Asian state-owned players, are worth billions of dollars and sprang from joint-venture partnerships with Canadian firms, but the Chinese bid has stoked a great deal more political furor than the Malaysian one. "China comes with more baggage, as befits a great power," said Gordon Houlden, director of the University of Alberta's China Institute. CNOOC and other big state-owned Chinese energy companies have increased purchases of oil and gas assets in the Americas as part of a global strategy to gain access to resources needed to fuel China's economy. The companies have moved more carefully since CNOOC tried seven years ago to buy the California energy firm Unocal Corp. only to withdraw its bid in the face of opposition from U.S. lawmakers who cited national security fears.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
