In a way I'm kinda glad The Originals is getting switched to Mondays. Now I can watch every episode on tv instead of downloading it the next day since Bones won't be coming on Mondays anymore since it got switched to Thursdays for the new season. In a way I'm not kinda glad because since The Originals is going to be on Mondays it could get low ratings.
Do we get a full season of the 100 :)?
Personally not impressed that they are moving the Originals! Mondays are a death night for shows on the CW! It will be up against Big Bang Theory and Dancing with the Stars. ( I do not watch those shows but they always have good ratings and people will follow the Big Bang Theory to its new night. Also with Gotham airing on Fox at the same time I just have a feeling The Originals will suffer!
I will be watching The Flash but I was really hoping that they would pair it with Arrow. I still say, like I did last year that The Originals should be paired with the Vampire Diaries.
I'm bummed that we have to wait til mid-season for Hart of Dixie.. If it's a "fan favorite" why make us wait longer?

James Arthur
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 08-10-2012 - 12:12pm
We are finally home..James Arthur was born at 2:39PM on Wed. 8/8/12 at 7lbs 8 oz and 19.5 in.
I was suppose to be induced on Monday night, but go bumped until Wed 8/8/12. My induction was suppose to begin with cervadil Monday night, but by the time I got in I was 4-5cm, so they just broke my water at 11:30, got my epidural and hung out until 2:00 when I could feel pressure building. I did two practice pushes and was told to stop before he was born without the doctor to catch him. He was out in 3 contractions.
All is well so far. William is enamored with James for now other than when James cries and William leaves the room with his hands over his ears.

Halloween happenings:
Normally Friday nights are busy enough for University Public Safety. However, when Halloween falls on a Friday, all bets are off. This past Halloween was a night of fights, intoxicated people and some unexpected happenings.
For the night, I rode along with Officer Duane Corey, Officer Brian Elliot and Officer Rebbeca Zwally. Before 10:15′ p.m. nothing of note occurred except for a non-student driving the wrong way in the Canisius parking lot, and the BCC building manager was unable to find University vans of which he had been given the keys.
However, at 10:15 when the evening was well under way, a call came in that a fight had occurred in the Quad.
Public Safety responded to find two students with ripped clothes. They were separated and Public Safety attempted to discern what happened from the intoxicated students. The story told by both parties was that the other one had started the fight.
Public Safety then told the students to have friends who were there for the fight to come and to corroborate the story.
A pack of students had congregated 30 yards away from the crowd of officers, RAs, and the AC. Daisy Duck and two other costumed students emerged from the crowd to gives statements to Public Safety. Students were told that the dean's office would decide what had actually occurred. The more intoxicated student in the fight was then sent to the Health Center. Two hours later, that same student fled the Health Center. He was found roughly 30 minutes after fleeing and received a warning to remain in his room for the rest of the night; the student was not seen for the rest of the night.
At around 10:30, Public Safety learned of a Gypsy Cab Company Driver working on campus. The suspect was pulled over and all but one part of his registration was found to be in order; he was told not to come back onto campus until he had received the last part of the registration. Later that night, students were dropped off by the same driver outside the town house gate. Public Safety checked their Stag Cards and allowed them to continue on there way. At 11:21, extension 2241 was called in Public Safety responded and brought the student to the Health Center.
At 12:24 a.m., a student was found with a rock in his hand hitting the window of the north door of Claver as well as attempting to break the lock. By the time the Public Safety car had arrived to the front of Claver, the student was conversing with Public Safety saying that 'his father paid their salary and that they worked for him.'
Public Safety continued to attempt to calm the student who was raising his voice and aggressively stepping towards every officer he talked to. Public safety told the student that they did not want to see the student for the rest of the night. He walked into the stairwell and exclaimed expletives, officers letting that go waited until he opened the second floor window and yelled more expletives out the window.
Public Safety then went to the second floor only to issue another warning to the student and asked him to remain in his room which he refused to comply. Then, they informed him they would call the Fairfield Police Department. FPD arrived to issue a warning to the student to remain in his room or he would be arrested for breach of peace. FPD was called back again for the same student 20 minutes later after he left his room; he was arrested for breach of peace. Public Safety, however, offered the student many opportunities to avoid this outcome. Warnings were offered and the student continued to ignore them.
While this incident occurred spanning over an hour and a half, other calls came into public safety including another fight in the Quad and an intoxicated student at checkpoint. The student had been dropped off and left by the driver at the entrance of Loyola drive. The Public Safety officer at the gate had the student wait student to be brought to the health center. He had scratches across his body. When asked about them, he informed Public Safety that he had slept in a prickly bush.
The night continued with students attempting to get into a Dominos car after the driver refused to drive them and girls getting rides across campus from the Dominos delivery guys and another student from Jogues sent to the Health Center. The night ended at 3:30 a.m. when a string maze was found in Town house block nine. The two officers had to cut the string down because it posed a threat to any one walking through the nine block.
As a sign of the debauchery of the night, these were only the events encountered by three public safety officers and one student.
Red and blues unite for Peace Now
As Nov. 4 drew closer, students of Fairfield for Peace Now supported their red or blue vote more decisively: they continued their sometimes vicious political debates, they donned their comical T-shirts poking fun at Palin, McCain, or Obama, and they dedicated their Facebook statuses to their candidate of choice.
In an effort to reunite students and emphasized peaceful, patriotic peace, Fairfield for Peace Now organized a nonpartisan event on the front lawn of the BCC on Monday, Nov. 3.
At the event, members of Fairfield for Peace Now helped build and decorate a tarp shaped like a peace sign. Students who stopped by the event added a message to the peace sign using blue and red markers.
'The goal is that during the day the peace sign will fill up similar to a color by number drawing with peoples' words,' said one student organizer Brittney Borruso '10.
The peace sign decoration was followed by a discussion of what peace means to the student body.
There was also a presentation of facts about current situations in the world and what students could do to help promote peace.
Interview: Bacon Brothers plan to sizzle up the Quick Center this Saturday
The Mirror: When you guys were younger and just playing around on instruments, did you hope it would develop into a band?
Michael Bacon: Yeah, I can't really remember a time since Kevin was able to walk and just banging on a pot that we didn't play music together and didn't really enjoy playing music together. Whether I ever thought it would ever turn into what it has, probably hadn't specifically thought of that, but I always hoped that we would have this bond together and enjoy making music together.
The Mirror: Michael, was it a little strange to play music with your younger brother with the nine-year age difference?
MB: Well, it's still pretty strange. I never got over that. (Laughs) No, not really. One of the great things about the music industry now compared to when I first started out in the late-60s, it was 'age 30, hang it up guy.' Don't trust anybody over the age of 30. What's really happened in the next generation, people really appreciate no matter what age they are, music that came before them, so you see, our son is now 26, when he was 16, all he thought about was the grateful dead, guys that are older than I am. I think the music business changed in that sense. You have the Rolling Stones traveling all over the world, kind of the number one live performing band and they're pretty old guys and so I think the whole age component in music has disappeared.
The Mirror: How did you guys decided to start a band in the middle of your careers, Michael as a solo artist and Kevin, as an actor?
Kevin Bacon: We were just kind of playing and we had some stuff that we'd written for years. A friend of mine heard a demo of ours and he said, 'Why don't you guys come down and play a Bacon Brothers show.' We hadn't even thought of ourselves as the Bacon Brothers. And I turned to him and really thought about it. I mean, I'd always kind of dreamed of playing music live, but I hadn't really thought about it in that capacity. But we said, 'Sure why not, what's the worst that could happen?' We'll go out for one gig. Mike said, 'So you're going to play guitar.' And I said, 'No, I'm not.' And he said you're going to have to play guitar so it's not just me playing. Then we got a bass player who's an old friend of Michael's whose still playing with the band, and a percussionist. So we had a real kind of small, acoustic band. And we did the one gig. It was terrifying, but really fun and it just kind of turned into another and another one and another one. Then we just started to make records.
The Mirror: Growing up, what kind of music did you listen to? Did you share the same musical tastes?
MB: Since we are nine years apart, there was that nine-year lag. I was more exposed to folk music than my brother was. Rock-and-roll hadn't caught on exactly the way it did by the time he was growing up more in the 60s and 70s. When the British invasion hit, I was completely smitten by it that when I really moved away from folk music and into more rock-and-roll kind of stuff. I played in a rock band during college and that's th thing that turned me around. That being said though, Philly is a really eclectic music town and there's lots to discuss music and lots of people started in Philly and made an impact in the music business.
The Mirror: How does your creative process work? Do you both write the songs? What inspires you?
KB: Writing comes from all different places. It's hard to really say. I wouldn't say it's the type of thing where we sit down every day for two hours and try to write songs. It's more kind of comes. Something hits you, you have some kind of experience, or some thought crosses your mind, or I don't know, you read something in the paper, you just have some kind of feeling and a song just comes out of it. I think we both tend to write music and lyrics at the same time. It's not like we have a whole a file of lyrics or a lyric book and we're going to put music to it. We just tend to write both to come together.
The Mirror: Kevin, you've been pretty well-known as an actor, do you think that helps or hurts your band's image and its popularity?
KB: Well, I would say for the most part it hasn't. I wouldn't say that it's helped. A lot people have a lot of disdain for the idea that an actor would form a band, and a lot of distrust that it's a joke. So that's something that we are pretty much on an on-going basis confronting and trying to get past. But I always knew that that would be the deal just because I know when I hear about an actor that is forming a band; I do a little bit of eye-rolling myself. So, for whatever reason, that's just the way people react to it. You can't really do anything about that except to play as well as you can and keep the level of writing up and keep plugging away.
The Mirror: Joaquin Phoenix recently quit the film industry to focus on music. Kevin, do you see that as a possibility for yourself?
KB: You know, I still really love making movies. I love directing and I love producing. I love acting. So I don't really see that as a possibility in my life. I read that from Joaquin today, I haven't actually spoken to him about it, but it seems like it is as much out of frustration with the movie business as it was he wanted play music.
MB: I decided today I'm quitting music and going into acting full-time. (Laughs).
The Mirror: You have your sixth album about coming out, has you seen a progress in your music from your first album to this most recent one?
MB: Well, I do see that, but those things are hard to judge. It's kind like these songs and CD's are your children, so you can be all objective about it. But the thing that I see that gives me a lot of happiness is that if you look at the musicians that Kevin and I were when we were making our first record and where we are now, we've both, even though I've been involved in music a long time before that, we're both better singers, better songwriters, better instrumentalists, better performers. We know our audiences better. Publicity and other kinds of things that go along with music. I take a lot of pride in that and if the music's gotten better, that's more for someone else to judge. At the same time, I feel really good about this new record and there are some songs that are kind of accessible enough that could possibly get in the public domain. We're going to do everything we possibly can to get it out there. In the meantime, the band is so much farther and has gone so much longer than we ever expected it to. If you gauge success, I put a lot of value in what we've achieved in the last 13 years.
The Mirror: What genre would you consider classify yourselves as? Your music seems to be a blend of rock and country with some other things as well.
KB: Well, you know we had a joke our first record, it was called Forosoco. It stands for Folk, Rock, Soul, Country. It was a new category of music that we made up. It was basically because people reacted to our music the same way that you said, 'It seems like a blend.' And it is. We have a lot of different influences. We like a lot of different kinds of music. We try to write the song and then let the song take you musically where it's trying to go. As opposed to trying to just having one specific sound and have the band sound in one specific way.
The Mirror: How did you come to play at Fairfield? Did Fairfield contact you?
KB: They contacted us.
MB: We have a booking agency out of Monterrey, California. And we're on a list of acts that they circulate to pretty much every venue. Someone at Fairfield either heard about the band or knew the band well and decided to try to book us and it worked out great. We're happy to be playing at Fairfield.
The Mirror: The concert is on a college campus. Is that something your looking forward to, do you expect a lot of students to come out?
KB: We don't get the chance to play campuses all that much. But it is fun because it's a different kind of vibe. We just played in upstate New York at Geneseo on campus, it was a fun gig, we had a good time. And we hope to get some students there.'

It seems that many chocolate producers add cocoa butter to their ingredients.
Since cocoa beans are approx 50% fat (cocoa butter) why would you need to add extra?
If you are producing a single origin bar, shouldn't this cocoa butter also be from the same origin?
Why then are there NO single origin cocoa butters available?
Views: 647
1) Not everyone does add add'l cocoa butter. Because things like moisture and particle size make a difference to viscosity, and because there are very, very, very few people who understand how to conche properly - add'l cocoa butter is a very easy way to compensate for rheological challenges
2) i'd say so, yes - but there are no standards.
3) it's expensive, and there's little demand for it. you'd also end up with a single origin cocoa powder, by the way - which there *may* be demand for if you can market it properly... but still very expensive. Actually there are single origin cocoa butters - you can get single origin ivorian, single origin ghanaian, single origin indonesian - it' effectively what's already out there, for the most part.
Interesting Sebastian. What do you mean when you say that very few people understand how to conche properly... when do you do you Masterclass? ;-)
Conching is treated either as an art by most, or as a quick passthrough step, and there are very few who understand even how to measure the progression of conching (ie is it doing what you want it to do, is it doing it most effectively, etc) - there's actually quite a lot of science behind it!
Perhaps one day when i retire or semi-retire i'll start holding classes 8-)
The reason I asked, is that at the present moment I have no conch. So I am looking at working from couverture. However most of the major couverture producers, seem, to me, to over work/conch the chocolate. That way it is super smooth, but the aromas and flavours that make a particular bean/origin special are almost gone.
For me that is so disappointing. And it will force me into conching my own chocolate much sooner than I would like.
Could be a function of conching, but remember that the bulk couverature that you're buying from large industrial manufacturer is likely made using predominately a blend of african or african and indonesian beans - which aren't sourced for their unique delicate flavor parameters - rather because they can be purchased in huge volumes and the 'rough spots' blended out in massive mixing tanks.
There are exceptions, of course, but without the details of the specific mfr, i'm going to place my bets on the 99.75% of the product that's on the market 8-)
Well the companies concerned are Valrhona and Callebaut. Both offer Single Origin. so it is not per se the beans.
Callebaut, with the purchase of Petra, is now the worlds largest grinder - all of their beans can't be flavor grade 8-) It's always either the beans, the process, or the storage 8-)
Askinosie presses their own cocoa butter and they use it in their chocolate. I agree that to be strictly origin chocolate that the cocoa butter should come from the same origin as the cacao. So for those who add cocoa butter, maybe only Askinosie is truly single origin.
One chocolate maker I know recently said that, in his opinion, to be truly single origin then even the sugar should come from the same source. But that may be going too far. If that were the case then then no company would be able to call themselves single origin.
Why not? Sugar cane grows in huge quantities in central america and the carribean; palm sugar in africa and asia, etc. I've seen cows on every continent except Antarctica, and soybeans are one of the most abundant crops on the planet (lecithin). I bet you could even get an orchid to grow in la republica dominicana and harvest some vanilla, although i've never looked for one there 8)
That is perhaps going too far. But I am not happy to buy a 75% Single Origin bar, if only 40% is actually cocoa mass from the land in question and 35% cocoa butter...unspecified.
I would like to see the actual percentages of cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter etc. And if the cocoa butter is not from the same origin, I would like to know.
Personally I cannot understand, yet, why extra cocoa butter would be added.
We add cocoa butter in small quantities to our chocolate because we feel it brings out more of the flavors we are seeking. In addition it makes tempering much easier.
This is an interesting thread, and I'd like to add my two bits...
There has been no mention yet of deodorized, or non-deodorized cocoa butter. Sebastian would know better, but my understanding is that most of the cocoa butter used today in chocolate is deodorized, because most of it is made from cocoa beans that nobody would really want made into chocolate and by itself smells horrible.
If in fact the cocoa butter IS deodorized, then origin is for the most part irrelevant as the cocoa butter is used solely for it's fluidity and crystalization properties. It in essence then brings absolutely nothing to the chocolate in the way of flavour.
I read in here that Askinosie makes their own cocoa butter. Interesting indeed. Is it made in the US, or at origin? I would certainly like to do some financial costing on THAT cocoa butter if it's made in the US! Well.... No... Not really. Paying a high price for, the beans and their import costs - all by weight - only to press out the fat and leaving 60% of the bean as waste doesn't seem viable to me unless they are doing it to make their own cocoa powder, which in that case would make sense. Sometimes I wish I could make my own cocoa powder.
Anyway, given the typical uses for cocoa butter, and the source of the cocoa butter it does make sense that there is very little single origin cocoa butter around.

On The Culture of Eating Out
oh man. this is my vice. I LOVE eating out. especially for brunch. But it has been bad on my wallet and on my width (i.e. I get fat every winter because of eggs benedict) BUT. I do it for the food and the good times with friends. I do not care about crossing places off of lists. (Also I live in Edmonton, so the list wouldn't be all that long anyway) I will say that I basically don't ever buy clothes, I go to the bar extremely rarely and I don't have cable or really any other spendy habits. The last couple of months I've gotten a lot better and have only eaten out a few times. PROGRESS
On The Downsides of Trying to Retire 'Inside of Your Screensaver'
Is that supposed to say "six countries on three continents"?... or are there continents within continents that I don't know about?
On When One Person Earns More Than the Other in a Relationship
@nell YES!!! My partner has chronic pain and it would be completely insane if we split every bit of contribution down 50/50. Being in my current relationship has really taught me that it's not about how much you do vs how much they do. It is exactly what you said.. does this person and the things they do make my life better! Do I feel like I am in a partnership where we enrich each other's lives? What makes that happen is about how things are done and with what intention, not whether everything is split equally.
On When One Person Earns More Than the Other in a Relationship
@longjanes Yes! I agree! I also really felt like the author believes that his lifestyle and his fiancée's lifestyle are separate, so I can see her worrying about the future and how they might merge into a team. My partner is probably going to make a lot less money that me in the long run but we have taken turns bearing the bulk of expenses in times when it has been harder for the other. We also change our lifestyle TOGETHER depending on what we are making/how employed we are. It's not that one of us will necessarily pay for everything, but we are a team and if one of us is financially stressed, we take it on as a team and maybe make it easier by changing how much we are spending together. Honestly, it doesn't sound like these two have a financial plan for the future where they work together to achieve their goals. Maybe that works for them, but it would be hard for me to have a partner who wanted to live a totally different kind of lifestyle from mine, and not collaborate.
On Is It Weird For a Brother and a Sister to Share a Room?
I shared a room with my little brother when we lived abroad for two years. I was 6-7 and he was 4-5. We had bunkbeds and my older brother had his own room. It was never weird for us and probably helped us feel close, especially with moving to a new country. I probably wouldn't have wanted to share beyond around age 10 because I became intensely private, but not because of gender. All children are different and should be evaluated separately and have different needs. It's damaging to use inductive reasoning about ALL children just because it might not work for SOME.

I heard from other travellers who had to get emergency dental work done there that is was incredibly inexpensive aswell (compared to Canada).

Post-game breakdown: Columbia
UConn coach Kevin Ollie saw it coming.He really did.
UConn starting guard Shabazz Napier has not practiced since suffering a left shoulder contusion in Monday's loss to Louisville Monday.
He's considered day to day.
Coach Kevin Ollie expects Napier, the team's leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, will play at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
"I think his shoulder came out of place a little bit, but he'll be ready to play," Ollie said after practice Thursday at Gampel Pavilion. "Hopefully, he'll practice tomorrow and have a good game on Saturday."
The Huskies were supposed to practice early Friday morning before leaving for Pittsburgh, but Ollie moved the workout to 5 p.m. in Pittsburgh to give Napier more time to heal.
"I hope so," said Napier when asked if he's playing Saturday. "I don't think I've missed one game since I came here. I don't really plan on missing any games. I've played through a whole bunch of injuries in my life, especially here.
"I'm blessed enough for it not to be my shooting arm. If I can fight through it to help my teammates out, I'm going to do what I can do."
Napier has had trouble sleeping because of the pain. He suffered the injury early in the first half during a drive to the basket. Louisville's Peyton Siva fouled Napier and Wayne Blackshear fell on him.
"I landed in an awkward position and the person just landed on my shoulder and my back...," Napier said. "After the game it was hurting a lot, but now it's cooled down and I've been moving much better than I did after the game."
His shoulder gradually stiffened up during the game. He says he should have sat out the second half.
"I felt different, but I was still out there so I can't give too much excuses," Napier said.
Napier scored 10 points in the first half but only two after intermission.
Without Napier at practice, junior Niels Giffey practiced with the first team on Thursday.
UConn coach Kevin Ollie saw it coming.He really did.
UConn has only four non-conference games remaining this season.
The UConn basketball team will participate in Kevin Ollie's Christmas for Hartford's Children in the city's Blue Hills Neighborhood on Saturday.
UConn's offense is in serious need of a tune-up.The Huskies sputttered their way to just 56 points on Thursday night at the Izod Center.
Tonight's game pits the defending national champion against a serious national championship contender.UConn is a decisive underdog.

Not sure if Sunday afternoon's shootout made UConn basketball fans feel better or worse about their Huskies.
UConn needs a bounce back game in a big way today.Coppin State hasn't beaten a Division I team so far this season.
Coach Kevin Ollie delivered a blunt assessment of his basketball following a second straight last-second loss.Yale 45, UConn 44.

Sanderson Farms, Inc. Reports Results For First Quarter Of Fiscal 2013
Sanderson Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAFM) today reported results for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2013.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $595.8 million compared with $517.8 million for the same period a year ago. For the quarter, the Company had a net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.31 per share, compared with a net loss of $8.0 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
"Our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflect improving, but still challenging, conditions for our industry," said Joe F. Sanderson, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Sanderson Farms, Inc. "While we experienced higher poultry market prices than the same period a year ago, our grain costs were also higher. Retail demand for chicken has remained steady, but we continue to see weak food service demand. We believe food service demand will remain under pressure until the national employment environment improves. While grain prices have retreated from the highs they set last August, we experienced higher feed costs during the first quarter, and these higher costs continue to affect our profitability."
According to Sanderson, market prices for poultry products were higher during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with the same period of fiscal 2012. A simple average of the Georgia dock price for whole chickens was approximately 9.1 percent higher in the Company's first fiscal quarter compared with the same period in 2012, and currently stands at a record $1.0050 per pound. Boneless breast meat prices during the quarter were approximately 5.1 percent higher than the prior-year period. The average market price for bulk leg quarters decreased approximately 2.0 percent for the quarter compared with the same period last year. Jumbo wing prices were higher by 24.6 percent compared with last year's first fiscal quarter, and hit a record high of $1.92 per pound the week before the Super Bowl. The Company's average feed cost per pound of poultry products processed increased 12.1 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and prices paid for corn and soybean meal, the Company's primary feed ingredients, increased 16.2 percent and 46.1 percent, respectively, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

561 FText of a Letter Endorsed by the Governing Boards of the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Concerning Calculus in the Secondary Schools33 TO: FROM: DATE: RE: .~ Secondary School Mathematics Teachers The Mathematical Association of America The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics September, 1986 Calculus in the Secondary School Dear Colleague: A single variable calculus course is now well established in the 12th grade at many secondary schools, and the number of students enrolling is increasing substantially each year. In this letter, we would like to discuss two problems that have emerged. The first problem concerns the relationship between the calculus course offered in high school and the succeeding calculus courses in college. Ibe 33This letter was extracted from Calculus for a New Century: A Pump, Not a Filter, A National Colloquium, October 28-29, 1987 (MAA Notes, Number 8, edited by Lynn Arthur Steen for the Board on Mathematical Sciences and the Mathematical Sciences Education Board of the National Research Council, Mathematical Association of America, 1988).

562 CONTENT PANEL REPORT Mathematical Association of America (:MAAJ and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) recommend that the calculus course of- fered in the 12th grade should be treated as a college-level course. The expec- tation should be that a substantial majority of the students taking the course will master the material and will not then repeat the subject upon entrance to college. Too many students now view their 12th grade calculus course as an introduction to calculus with the expectation of repeating the material in college. This causes an undesirable attitude on the part of the student both in secondary school and in college. In secondary school all too often a student may feel "I don't have to study this subject too seriously, because I have already seen most of the ideas." Such students typically have consider- able difficulty later on as they proceed further into the subject matter. MM and NCTM recommend that all students taking calculus in second- ary school who are performing satisfactorily in the course should expect to place out of the comparable college calculus course. Therefore, to verify ap- propriate placement upon entrance to college, students should either take one of the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus Examinations of the College Board, or take a locally-administered college placement examination in cal- culus. Satisfactory performance on an AP examination carries with it college credit at most universities. The second problem concerns preparation for the calculus course. MAA and NCTM recommend that students who enroll in a calculus course in sec- ondary school should have demonstrated mastery of algebra, geometry, tr~go- nometry, and coordinate geometry. This means that students should have at least four full years of mathematical preparation beginning with the first course in algebra. The advanced topics in algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, complex numbers, and elementary functions studied in depth during the fourth year of preparation are critically important for students' latter courses in mathematics. It is important to note that at present many well-prepared students take calculus in the 12th grade, place out of the comparable course in college, and do well in succeeding college courses. Currently, the two most common methods for preparing students for a college-level calculus course in the 12th grade are to begin the first algebra course in the 8th grade or to require students to take second year algebra and geometry concurrently. Students beginning with algebra in the 9th grade, who take only one mathematics course each year in secondary school, should not expect to take calculus in the 12th grade. Instead, they should use the 12th grade to prepare them- selves fully for calculus as freshmen in college. We offer these recommendations in an attempt to strengthen the calcu- lus program in secondary schools. They are not meant to discourage the

-IPA: mildly hopped for an IPA, some citrus and cardboard aftertaste. Wouldn't advise it.
-Red: medium hops, well-balanced--decent.
-Vienna lager: mild, crisp, slight cardboard aftertaste.
-Maple: sweet, tangy, with mild maple overtone.
-Brown: mod hops, not too sweet.
-STOUT: mod hops, full bodied, complex, coffee-like overtones. Clearly my favorite.
home-brewed cherry soda--sweet, yummy (For the non-beer-drinking wench with me!)
Food was fine, nothing negative: the English sausage was mild and tasty--I got it with sauerkraut on rye--yum!
Onion rings: HUGE. Heavily breaded, tasty.
Burger: fine burger.
In short: I'd go back there, and would only order darkest beers, preferably stout. A number of locals were there drinking the red.
This time, I happened to stumble upon the establishment without going to the internet for directions. I must say I was dissapointed, at best. The I had a crab stuffed soul with rice and broccoli. Heyyyyyy, I think I see a small pile of meat in the middle of the plate. I didn't know these fish came in such small sizes. Needless to say, the rice and veggies were the main dish. I should have known better when the waitress puts a brewery coaster in front of me that consisted of heavy guage paper and not the typical carboard style coaster - classy. The Special Reserve IPA was the weirdest attempt at an IPA that I've ever sampled. Tastes were jumping off my pallette that screamed, "There's no way in h*ll all of these oddly matched tastes should be coming from the same glass". It was truly a bizarre concoction that I'd rather not experience again, definitely hoppy (but in a bad way), floral boquet, and then a bunch of other stuff with a watery finish. After my dissapointment I decided to not risk another full glass of mystery brew so I ordered a (4) flight sampler: Stout, Off Kilter Barley Wine, Red 7, and the Brown Ale. The stout was the most noteworthy of the bunch but definitely a weak one. Think Guiness with a little more chew to it. (I don't like Guiness.) The Off Kilter was more like a Yuengling Lager with no b*lls whatsoever - I thought Barley Wines were supposed to knock you on your butt? The Red 7 tasted just like the Off Kilter, only with a little more acid/citrus zing, again, just like a Yuengling. Last was the Brown Ale - I took a few sips and left it.
I appreciate this place's desire to be a micro but if you consider Michelob to be one of those "fancy named imports", this just might be the place for you. I hate to submit such a negative review but if you are in the area, I would strongly recommend going to one of the local big chain restaurants but if you insist on coming here, order wine instead and be sure you eat before having dinner here.

NEW ORLEANS — No Tom Brady. No Aaron Rodgers. No Ben Roethlisberger. Not a Manning in sight.
Super Bowl has a pair of fresh faces at quarterback, bona fide nobodies as far as the NFL title game goes. One will leave New Orleans as football's newest star.
For Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, this is new territory. And, of course, exactly where they want to be.
Ravens' Torrey Smith faced a tough road to the Super Bowl
On game day, Torrey Smith is a whirlwind of dreadlocks, speed and big-play catches.
None of this provides a hint of the hurdles he had to overcome to become the deep threat the Baltimore Ravens needed to make it to the Super Bowl.
After helping his single mother raise six other children, a chore that included working after school as a teenager, Smith accepted a scholarship to the University of Maryland. He played three seasons, scoring 22 touchdowns — including three on kickoff returns — before throwing his name into the mix for the 2011 NFL draft.
Smith was selected in the second round by Baltimore, and as rookie he quickly displayed the ability to get downfield although his inexperience resulted in several costly dropped passes.
"To be AFC champs feels good," Flacco said Monday. "We move on now to this challenge."
Flacco, the only quarterback to win a playoff game in each of his first five NFL seasons, will lead the Baltimore Ravens into Sunday's matchup against the NFC-winning San Francisco 49ers and Kaepernick, a backup for most of his two seasons.
It's the first time in a decade that the big game doesn't feature one of the big five household names in the glamour position.
You can't get much fresher than quarterbacks who never have gotten this far before.
"At the start of the season, I was just hoping to get on the field some way, somehow," said Kaepernick, the backup for Alex Smith, who took the 49ers to the conference final last season.
He got that chance after Smith sustained a concussion on Nov. 11, and hasn't seen the bench since.
Win this one and he'll have a piece of history, joining a heady quarterback club that includes Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young, who guided the 49ers to five NFL titles — a victory every time they played. No. 6 would tie the team with Roethlisberger's Pittsburgh Steelers — a record for most Super Bowl wins.
A second-round draft pick in 2011 out of Nevada — not exactly Alabama — Kaepernick has the shortest pro resume of any Super Bowl quarterback. It's impressive, nonetheless. His legs (181 yards rushing against Green Bay, a record for the position) and his arm (105.9 passer rating in the post-season) are the main reasons San Francisco is in its first NFL title game in 18 years.
"Anybody that is out there on the football field, you want to see them produce and get results," left tackle Joe Staley said. "With Colin, his first couple of starts, you did not know what to expect because we had not seen him out there as a starting quarterback. He did amazing and he has all season, as well as the playoffs. I think it was one of those things where we saw him in practice and we just wanted to see how he was going to handle the situation in the games. He has done that."
Still, he's new to this environment and that hardly seems to faze Kaepernick.
"One thing I've always said about him from the start is he comes off as a guy that has a lot of confidence," said centre Jonathan Goodwin, who won a Super Bowl snapping for Drew Brees and the Saints three years ago. "I'm not just saying that. You can feel it by the way he acts and talks."
Flacco has that air of certainty, too, but at least it's built on a more substantial foundation, including an 8-4 mark in the playoffs, with six road wins — the most for any quarterback, Montana and Young included. That goes for Baltimore's John Unitas, too.
Nobody is comparing Flacco to them just yet, except for the self-belief he brings to the job.
"You naturally become more of the guy when you spend a number of years in the league," he said at the Ravens' first Super Bowl news conference Monday. "As a quarterback, it's my job to lead from Day 1."
As a five-year starter, that's exactly what Flacco did after Baltimore drafted him out of Delaware — yep, not exactly Alabama.
As has become the custom in the NFL, Flacco represents the high draft pick who steps behind centre early in his career and, usually, stays there. Both Mannings did it, as did Roethlisberger. Just this season, the top two picks in the draft, QBs Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, were anointed starters at the outset and played sensationally.
Now Flacco and Kaepernick try to join those big-name quarterbacks who own all those Super Bowl rings.
"We try to pass tests every day," Flacco said.
That's how you become a Super Bowl quarterback.

March 11 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
Updated from 7:16 a.m. EDT
Here are 10 things you should know for Tuesday, March 11:
1.-- U.S. stock futures were flat on Tuesday as global markets stabilized after selling off during the previous session.
European shares were trading flat to slightly higher early Tuesday. Asian stocks ended the session mostly to the upside. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.7%.
2.-- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Tuesday includes wholesale inventories for January at 10 a.m. EDT.
3.-- U.S. stocks on Monday fell amid poor economic data from China and Japan. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.21% to close at 16,418.68, while the S&P 500 fell 0.05% to 1,877.17. The Nasdaq dropped 0.4% to 4,334.45.4.-- GM (GM) faced new pressure from Michigan Republican Fred Upton to explain why it took nearly a decade to recall 1.6 million vehicles for faulty ignitions linked to 13 deaths, even as the automaker hired a high-profile lawyer to lead its internal investigation and stepped up warnings to customers, The Wall Street Journal reported. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, of which Upton is chairman, said it would launch an investigation into the slow recall and hold hearings.
"Did the company or regulators miss something that could have flagged these problems sooner? If the answer is yes, we must learn how and why this happened, and then determine whether this system of reporting and analyzing complaints that Congress created to save lives is being implemented and working as the law intended," Upton said in a statement on Monday.
GM said Monday it was bringing in Anton Valukas, the Chicago lawyer who led the court-ordered investigation of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008, to lead the company's own inquiry into the recall, the Journal said.
GM shares fell 0.2% in premarket trading on Tuesday.
5.-- SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, speaking to PBS's Charlie Rose, said his company is still trying to buy T-Mobile US (TMUS) and merge it with Sprint (S), its wireless carrier.
U.S. regulators have reservations about the deal since it would cut the number of national wireless carriers, Reuters reported. Son said if the deal does get approved, he would launch a price war to break what he called a duopoly by AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ).
6. -- Yahoo! (YHOO) named Alex Stamos as its chief information security officer, tapping a vocal critic of the U.S. government's secret surveillance programs for the position.
Stamos is a prominent figure in computer security circles, according to Re/code. He was the primary organizer behind TrustyCon, the one-day security conference that took place last month in San Francisco. TrustyCon's agenda was comprised largely of speakers who withdrew in protest from the larger RSA Conference following allegations that security company RSA had colluded with the National Security Agency. Stamos most recently was the chief technology officer of Artemis Internet.
Yahoo! shares fell 0.05% in premarket trading.
7. -- American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) is forecast by analysts on Tuesday to report fourth-quarter earnings of 26 cents a share on revenue of $1.03 billion. 8. -- Bill Ackman is expected to make a presentation Tuesday on Herbalife's (HLF) Chinese operations, saying he believes that documents obtained from a former employee will show that Herbalife violated China's laws regulating direct selling and multilevel marketing, Bloomberg reported.
The move represents Ackman's latest attack on Herbalife, which he alleges is a pyramid scheme.
Herbalife shares declined 0.4% to $65.90 in premarket trading. 9. -- Microsoft (MSFT) is betting on making sci-fi combat game "Titanfall" a hit big enough to boost sales of its Xbox One videogame device, Reuters reported. The game goes on sale exclusively for the Xbox One and personal computers. It costs %60.
"We're making a big bet that 'Titanfall' is going to be a blockbuster launch for Xbox," Yusuf Mehdi, head of marketing and strategy for Microsoft's Xbox group, said in an email interview with Reuters.
The stock fell 0.2% in premarket trading to $37.76. 10.-- Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) posted fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday of $1.11 a share, in line with forecasts. Revenue was $1.95 billion, ahead of estimates of $1.94 billion.
The stock was unchanged in premarket trading at $54.33.

Being in Southern Ohio and working with high school sports and previously attending OU, I have known about this kid for a few years. My ONLY concern is as some have already mentioned, the level of competition he plays is horrendous. No competition. With that said though, the kid is an absolute specimen, a student of the game, has D1 pedigree, and has performed well when the competition gets turned up in the playoffs.
He is as close to a can't miss as a 3-star can get in my opinion. He is an under-rated athlete but is by no means a Tim Tebow or Braxton Miller. He is a pocket passer who is capable of running. Not the other way around. I was wondering if an Ohio State offer would ever come because he is not the prototype that Urban has recruited recently. He is much more Alex Smith than Tim Tebow. This guy can absolutely torch people with his arms. I think it says a lot about his mindset that he has played horrible competition and could have easily jogged for 1500 yards rushing but instead has stood in the pocket and thrown the pigskin. I'm sure he has sat in on meetings with his father at OU a lot with the team and coaching staff.

As Disney California Adventure reaches the midway point of a $1.1-billion expansion, I'd like to take a speculative look at what Walt Disney Imagineering might have in mind for Phase 2 of the massive renovation project.
DCA's extreme makeover was necessitated by the on-the-cheap, off-the-shelf nature of the nearly decade-old theme park that even Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger now calls "mediocre."
Phase 1, which began in 2008, fixes about a third of the flawed park. What I'm interested in looking at here are the possibilities for the other two-thirds.
Most of the proposed plans that have come to light remain firmly in the "what if" stage. In some cases, Disney announced and then postponed attractions. In other instances, the ideas have filtered out into the online community. In all circumstances, Disney remains officially mum, guarding future projects as closely held secrets.
Quite naturally, any sequel to the wholesale reimagineering of DCA remains contingent on the success of Phase 1, which wraps up in 2012. So far, the crowds have responded positively to the uptick in quality (Toy Story Midway Mania dark ride), spectacle ("World of Color" water show) and attention to detail (Silly Symphony Swings wave swing).
And the best is yet to come. Crews have broken ground on Phase 1 projects that demonstrate Disney's commitment (the $100-million Voyage of the Little Mermaid dark ride), ambition (the 12-acre Cars Land) and heritage (Buena Vista Street entry plaza).
Mouse watchers believe if Phase 1 continues to pay dividends, Iger will pony up more money for Phase 2 starting in 2013. The operative word here is "if."
So far nothing has been announced for Phase 2, but Imagineers have been busy dusting off old plans and dreaming up new ideas for the re-emergent Anaheim theme park. As any Disney fan knows, these "blue sky" proposals can change repeatedly over the course of development – and many never see the light of day.
What follows is a land-by-land compilation of possible attractions and thematic changes for Phase 2:
Buena Vista Street
(An idealized vision of a 1920s Southern California streetscape when Walt Disney first arrived in Los Angeles.)
* Original plans for the Carthay Theater called for the screening of a "Walt Disney Story" biographical film. The latest plans have the Blue Sky Cellar preview center moving into the space.
* An exclusive Carthay Circle Club on the upper floor of the Carthay Theater. Disney has quietly put out feelers to Club 33 members and those on the long waiting list for the private Disneyland club. The Interior of the DCA club would replicate an idealized version of an early Disney animation studio on Hyperion Avenue in Hollywood.
Paradise Pier
(A 1920s and 30s seaside amusement park-themed land with Victorian architecture.)
* An E-Ticket ride next to California Screamin', with an entrance in the helix of the roller coaster track leading to a new backstage attraction.
* A D- or E-Ticket attraction in the other helix where Maliboomer once stood. The area is currently being turned into a character meet-and-greet location. The tacky strip mall-themed Man Hat n' Beach souvenir shop façade likely remains unchanged in anticipation of this forthcoming attraction.
* An E-Ticket ride in place of Goofy's Sky School, itself a rethemed version of the Mulholland Madness wild mouse roller coaster. Current proposals for the location include an original thrill ride or a character-based attraction. An early concept called for a Ratatouille coaster to occupy the space.
* Disney's original plans called for the since-removed Maliboomer drop tower to become a Green Army Men parachute drop ride. The same "Toy Story" theme could replace the nearby Jumpin' Jellyfish ride, which was originally scheduled for removal in Disney's initial plan.

thank you for the 'Update' about what you have done at the weekend!
So, you started the defrag, and went to weekend, is this correct? And you still don't have clue what is going on?
If I sound a little bit annoyed to you, you are correct!
Where have you learned the policy about transferring information to your customers? At Russia at the former Communist Party (they needed 4 weeks to tell the public that the reactor was blown away)?
A liitle bit mor 'serious' facts could help here. I know your product should transfer a fun-factor of some kind, but this should not be part of your information policy!
As a fellow techie, keepup the good work. Would you be able to do a quick DNS switch to a static site in order to redirect uses who go to http://www.voilet.net to the blog. just a thought. Hope they are keeping you well fed with pizza and coke
I think it is time for an open-source service for nabatags/karotz so we can do some of the hosting ourselves. I totaly rely on your servers, and I cannot even get my rabbit to speak locally. Please give evrybody access to an opens-ource alternative
I also want my Nabaztag to do my 2010 income taxes…clean my fridge…and walk my dog. I'm also really annoyed that my Nabaztag's belly button doesn't dispense cheese puffs.
Seriously…thanks for the update. A lot of companies would have just ditched us Nabaztag "early adopters" and forced us into buying the new model if we wanted bunny rabbit goodness in our lives.
