Besides peanut butter and chocolate one of the best flavor combinations known to man is chocolate and salt. Period. End of discussion.
I was not the first to jump on the bandwagon but now I am the president of the fan club. Well, I could be.
Even my kids couldn't keep their chubby little hands off. Okay, when do they keep their hands off of anything really!? Except when it involves brussels sprouts. Those are definitely all mine.
My intention was to roll out the shortbread {which just happens to be the best cookie ever with just 4 little ingredients!}, cut the hearts then bake it. I finally caught on after "kneading" the dough for 5 minutes that I may have added too much flour. How's that for a work out?
"I got my workout in today, honey."
"Oh, that's great! What did you do?"
"I made cookies. Then I ate them."
You totally burn calories chewing. And I'm also convinced that it doesn't actually count if you are not sitting down to a meal. Welcome to my morphed mind. Sit down. Take a load off.
Fortunately, that wasn't exactly our conversation because I made these for a friend and I delivered them that night.
Hey, I couldn't have these things sitting on my counter just staring at me with their flaky, chocolaty, salty goodness. I'm not made of steel.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 tblsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Preheat oven to 325°
- In a medium bowl cream the butter and sugar.
- Mix in the salt and 1 cup of flour. Knead it in with your hand or the back of a spoon. Gradually add the extra 1/4 cup flour.
- Press the dough into an 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and immediately pour the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Allow to sit and melt for a few minutes then spread the chocolate with a knife. Once the chocolate cools slightly sprinkle with the sea salt.
- Once the chocolate hardens cut into shapes or squares.

A daily post, highlighting the best things to do around town today (that aren't fully booked). We welcome additions in the comments.
POSH PHOTOS: Mario Testino's royal portrait exhibition opens at the National Portrait Gallery. It's free, and you've got till 3 February to see their assorted royal highnesses gurning into the Testino lens. All day
SCULPTURE: Diving Girl, the 3.5-metre-tall sculpture you may or may not remember from the entrance to the Olympic Park, will from today be permanently housed in Heathrow Terminal 5. OK, it's not an event, but it's good to note these things.
BACTERIA DO THE FUNNIEST THINGS: Wellcome Collection are touting a Hypersymbiont Enhancement Salon, a work of performance art that speculates on how to improve humans with specially tweaked bacteria. No, we're not sure what it's all about either, but it's free and you can show up any time in the afternoon today, Thur or Fri. Just don't blame us if you emerge with a pilus growing from your neck. 2-5pm
TRENDY SUBTERRANEAN ART THING: Today's hot ticket is The Art Cellar, an art-buying event in an old wine cellar beneath Holborn Viaduct. If you can't afford to buy, it's worth a look-in for the bang-on-trend food offerings via Wild Thexton and Don Ceviche, with music and cocktails. Also on Thur, Fri. Book in advance, £9. 6-11pm
ARTY MINGLING: Meanwhile, the Mall Galleries has a free arts evening with live music and pop-up bar to celebrate the Threadneedle Prize for figurative painting and sculpture. Free, just turn up. 6-10pm
BIG DIG: The Crossrail Visitor Centre (behind Centre Point) holds a short talk about the archaeological digs from the Crossrail project. The exhibition of artifacts can also be viewed. All free, just turn up. 6.30pm
HISTORY CHIT-CHAT: The monthly London Historians pub meetup takes place upstairs at the Windsor Castle in Victoria. They're a fun bunch, with a mixture of professional and amateur historians, all interested in the capital's history. And we'll be there. Free, just turn up. 6.30-11pm
ENVIRONMENT: Former Jain monk Satish Kumar gives a free talk on "Gandhi in the twenty-first century" at the Nehru Centre, 8 South Audley Street. Time travel fans might be disappointed if they take the title of the talk too literally. Free, just turn up. 6.30pm
BOOKS: Iain M Banks is at Waterstones Piccadilly to big up his new novel, The Hydrogen Sonata. £5, book in advance. 7pm
QUIZZERY-POKERY: This month's Bigger Boat Film Quiz, at the Boogaloo in Highgate, is all about 80's movies. If you know your ETs from your ED-209s, and your General Zods from your Colonel Trautmans, this is the quiz for you. Unless that's all you know. In which case you'll get, at most, two points. £3.50, just turn up. 7.30pm
Random Fact Of The Day
The Shard (309.6 metres) is almost precisely six times taller than Nelson's Column (51.5m) and five times taller than the Monument to the Great fire (above, 62m). It's also 175 times taller than Boris Johnson (1.77m).
NASA used to have a motto: faster, better, cheaper. Today's weather can be summarised in much the same way, if you swap "faster" for "cooler", "better" for "wetter", and "cheaper" for "windier".
Hidden False Rumour Of The Day
Despite complaints to the contrary, Time Out London still prints a full event listings section in its new-look freebie magazine. You've not noticed them because they're printed in white ink, an idea they nicked off this column.

Croatian sport clubs SRK Alba and SD Trickeri organize from 17th to 19th April 2015 the 3rd edition of 100 Miles of Istria, ultra trail race across the Istrian peninsula.
As the director of the event, it is a great pleasure to welcome all who wish to participate in this trail running event. In the previous edition, 496 athletes from 22 different nationalities participated, which made us very happy and proud!
It is for us, without a doubt, a huge honor to organize this event on the Istrian peninsula that, beyond it's recognized touristic attributes, offers excellent conditions for practicing this sport.
Once again we tried to introduce ceratin innovations, so, going against the expectations of many trailers, and instead of the traditional four courses, now we offer five (100 miles – 105 kilometers – 65 kilometers - 1 mile for the kids - 10 kilometers city trail).
Due to logistic matters and many requests, we didn't changed the direction of the race, starting in Labin (100 miles), Lovran (105 kilometers) and Buzet (65 kilometers) and finishing on the western part of the peninsula, in Umag, which is located 30 minutes from the border with Slovenia and has a wide range of hotel accommodation nearby.
100 miles race just got a little bit longer, now 173 km with 7002 m of positive altitude change leading through some pretty old towns in central Istria. This race demands good conditioning, only advisable to 'tough squad' athletes with a high endurance capacity.
The 110 kilometers is also a crossing and it is a little bit longer, but with less elevation gain and loss than the 100 miles, and aims to be as straight as possible towards Umag. A race that demands a high level of preparedness, only advisable for athletes with some background experience.
65 kilometers, the shortest race, will start in Buzet and mostly follows the 110 kilometers race route. The athletes require some specific training.
We strongly believe that this event will have all the brilliance expected and be an extra incentive to all who are here to stay a while longer or, perhaps, to return one day.
Welcome to the 3rd edition of 100 Miles od Istria!

5 Ways to Unlock Organic Search Data from Google
In the ever-changing world of SEO, and its continual courtship with search engine changes, we have once again witnessed a major turn in keyword data analysis along with the secure searches that Google introduced. Starting from September, Google has disallowed the value of a keyword to be passed on to analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or other software used by the SEO community. So, there is a bit of a quandary regarding the ways in which we can retrieve this valuable data back from the virtual coffers of Google.
How do we adapt keyword-related SEO techniques to accommodate this new lack of data? Let us look at five methods that we can use to get keyword data from other sources:
Segment the "not provided" keywords by landing pages in Google Analytics
The term "not provided" is quite useless unless we can derive some meaning in its occurrence. A great way to accomplish this is to literally filter this "blank" traffic, so that it will display the landing page for each such referral. Although this will obviously not provide as discrete of a keyword picture as it did before introducing secure searches, it will still allow us to gain a reasonable idea of what the visitors' intend may have been. Obviously, the more "not provided" referrals are linked to a certain landing page, the clearer an understanding can be gained.
Use Google Webmaster Tools
Google Webmaster Tools may seem a bit less robust than Google Analytics. Nonetheless, it can still offer up some valuable information; specifically the keyword preferences that can be found under the "Search Queries" section. The main benefit is that this analysis will display the clickthrough rates of Google Search keywords. Of particular interest in regards to secure searches is that GWT will also display how many search impressions a keyword is receiving. It stands clear that those keywords that are receiving a large number of impressions should be focused on to increase a site's ranking.
Examine AdWords information
Following the encryption of search queries, paying for AdWords has turned into a means to allow full access to the keywords driving traffic. Not only is this excellent for determining the value of the targeted keywords, but there is another benefit here. By analysing which landing pages are being accessed by a searcher, we can get a general idea of the keywords that they are using.
Analyse relevant keyword data from other search engines
Other search engines such as Yahoo! and Bing still provide keyword data, so all of the previously proven SEO techniques that were employed before secure search regarding keyword tracking can be used on these traffic sources. Unfortunately, the downside is that unless the website has a great deal of online exposure, it is unlikely that either one of these alternative engines will provide enough keyword information to make it viable. Still, this is a good option for pages that experience a massive amount of traffic.
Combine everything into one comprehensive analysis
Although it is not as easy as it used to be, we can still put together a robust keyword data analysis by employing all of these methods in synergy. Combining GWT data (clicks and clickthrough rates) with the rank tracking data provided by organic search engine positions can help provide a clearer picture on how searchers perceive a website, through its content or its brand. Ancillary methods such as observing keyword tendencies from other search engines traffic and employing the data from paid AdWords are able to further clarify which words are bringing visitors to a specific landing page.
For better or for worse, Google's secure search is here to stay. So, at this point in time it is important to get the most out of the organic, granular data that we can get, while slowly starting to base future SEO practices on a broader keyword data approach.
I hope you have enjoyed this article. It'd be interesting to learn what other keyword data sources you are using now for SEO analysis. I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments section below.

Certainly useful tips, Aura!!
Now other search engines are also following Google's step, and in coming time you won't be able to get search term data from Bing and Yahoo as well. So how would you make sure which keyword is fruitful for you without running a Google Adwords Campaign?
Hey Aahna, thanks very much for pointing this out. You are right! It looks like following the new switch to secure search, Bing Webmaster Tools might become the "next best thing" for getting Bing search traffic (as it happens now with Google).

Maryland Head Coach Gary
On tonight's game:
"James Gist and Greivis Vasquez really played like they can play. We needed both of them tonight and they did a great job for us. Them doing that allows Cliff Tucker to start that game very well and Landon Milbourne really stepped up in terms of aggressiveness. We had a good start out there because of the way those guys played. I think that's very important as we head into the last 15 games in the ACC. It was good to see. There was good leadership out there and I think the young guys stepped it up because they knew they had to without Eric Hayes. You have to give Holy Cross credit, they come to play and they obviously had some injuries tonight."
On the absence of sophomore Eric Hayes:
"I hope Eric Hayes can play on Saturday; that's what I'm counting on. I think he has a good shot to play Saturday. Both Cliff Tucker and Landon Milbourne have played quite a few minutes now in January, so I was glad to see them step up because they had to step up. When you use a player like Eric that's been averaging 35 minutes a game, you need to get those minutes from somewhere. Both Cliff and Landon did a good job playing for us tonight."
On the team's readiness for ACC play:
"We'll find out as we get in to league play, but we're a better team now than we were at Christmas. I know we're a better team than that. I think we've bought in a little bit more into playing as hard as we can for the length of the game. That's what's made us better. You should execute your offense as the year goes on and the young players should play with more confidence as they get minutes and I think that's happening."
Maryland Senior Bambale
On how he thinks the team will fare in the ACC:
"If we play the way we've been playing the last few games, then we can definitely get some wins."
Maryland Senior James
On the changes he has made since the team's loss to American:
"I apologized to Coach [Williams] for not doing what I was supposed to be doing. I felt like I failed the team for the first half of the season. I've come out with a lot more fire. I've gone harder and I'm ready to play every day. I know I have the help of all my teammates, but I feel like it all starts with me. I'm going to leave it all on the floor. These are my last few months and I don't want to go out making a statement. You're only as good as your last year."
Maryland Sophomore Landon
On working with Cliff Tucker to fill in for Eric Hayes:
"Eric [Hayes]'s situation is unfortunate, but there will be injuries during the season, and guys need to step up. Things like that happen and others have to step up. We had a big night, and we're just trying to carry these wins over to the ACC."
On the team's readiness for conference play:
"We finally found the intensity we need and we just need to keep building on that. Everything happens for a reason and everything so far has made us stronger."
Holy Cross Head Coach Ralph
Opening Statement:
"We knew Maryland was playing well coming into the game, I knew we would have some issues from starting a freshman point guard. I thought that they did a good job pressuring us and we turned the ball over an awful lot. I think that was a matter of not having the guys with experience we needed on the floor. Anytime you lose three out of your top six guys coming into a venue like this, you're going to have issues and we had a lot of issues, especially in the first half."
On Maryland sophomore point guard Greivis
"He's over you, he knows how to play, he knows how to get the rest of the guys involved, which was one of the things we didn't want to let him do. We didn't want him and [James] Gist to get off, we wanted to let someone else beat us other than those two guys. He does a good job because he is so big, he does a lot of good things for them.
On how his team benefitted from this game:
"I don't know if we did or if we didn't. It gave the guys that don't play an opportunity to play when they otherwise wouldn't because of the three guys that are hurt, so that may have benefitted us. This was a tough trip. I think the only thing we gained out of this was that it gave some guys minutes that they ordinarily wouldn't get. We got some experience out of it, we played against a good team that will get after you and I think we learned a lot what not to do as much as what to do. It's tough to compete against a team like Maryland that will pressure you and get after you."

"The challenge is what I was excited about, and that's why I came," Kelly said, via The Associated Press. "I was sold on the Eagles the first time I met them, it was my ties to Oregon that made it hard. But the Eagles are the Eagles. This is the NFL. "My dream is to just win, and with the Eagles, this was the best opportunity for me to win. I never thought a long time ago that I was going to be able to coach in the NFL, but I'm excited about the opportunity." "I always wanted the job," he said. "I know it's a rabid fan base. I hope they don't boo me. It's an exciting time, and I'm ready to get to work." Kelly will definitely have to answer about his flip-flopping, but his priority now will be to decide which quarterback he wants to lead his system, Vick or Foles?

AutoWeek Editors Honor the Best of the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show
The magazine's Editors' Choice Awards recognize Best in Show, Best Concept, Most Significant and Most Fun.
Photo: AutoWeek Cover: The Nissan GT-R, as highlighted on the October 29 issue of AutoWeek, was awarded the AutoWeek Editors' Choice Award for Best in Show during the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.
DETROIT, Oct. 25 -- The AutoWeek editorial staff will announce its Editors' Choice Award winners for the 2007 Tokyo International Motor Show in its November 12 issue.
The 2007 AutoWeek Editors' Choice Award winners for the Best of Tokyo are:
BEST IN SHOW: Nissan GT-R -- "This is the super car everyone has been
waiting for since Nissan officials announced in 2001 that they would re-
create the icon," said AutoWeek Editor and Associate Publisher Dutch
Mandel. "A twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter V6 pushes this coupe to a top
speed of 193 mph and from zero to 60 in 3.5 seconds. The great news for
the U.S. is that Nissan will finally bring this flagship to our shores."
BEST CONCEPT: Mazda Taiki -- "This aero-efficient sports car blends the
best of the last three Mazda show cars with the company's next-generation
Wankel rotary engine: a power plant that celebrates its 40th anniversary
this year. It sets the way for the future front-engine, rear-drive sports
MOST SIGNIFICANT: Honda CR-Z -- "Here's a car that finally reintroduces
passion and emotion in a legendary vehicle that is also powered by
alternative sources. The CR-Z is very much the spiritual successor to
Honda's beloved CRX, a subcompact rocket from the past."
MOST FUN: Suzuki X-Head -- "It's every kid's Tonka toy come to life. It's
boxy, it's burly, it's bright yellow and looks as though it wants to haul
heavy loads through woods. It's what happens when Suzuki builds a Hummer."
The AutoWeek editorial staff will announce its 2008 Editors' Choice Awards for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next January during the magazine's annual Design Forum. |GlobalGiants.com|

"Da Vinci... An Exhibition of Genius" organized by 'RYP Australia' Reveals Details about Mona Lisa
Photo: Da Vinci... An Exhibition of Genius presents "Mona Lisa Revealed": high-tech camera uncovers hidden images in world's most famous painting.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18 -- Since making its North American debut in San Francisco in August 2007, Da Vinci - an Exhibition of Genius has inspired thousands of visitors with the full scope of Leonardo da Vinci's remarkable genius as an artist, inventor, anatomist, sculptor, engineer and architect. In line with the exhibition's theme of discovery and invention, exhibition organizers RYP Australia announced a new installation unveiling 25 secrets about the most famous painting in the world: Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa."
"Mona Lisa Secrets Revealed" showcases the work of French engineer Pascal Cotte. His life-long passion for the study and preservation of the Mona Lisa led him to invent the cutting edge 240-megapixel Multi-spectral Imaging Camera, which uses patented infrared technology and intense illumination to scan the painting and virtually peel away layers of varnish applied over centuries. With his camera, Cotte was able to uncover how the Mona Lisa looked as she was originally painted, including layers of over-painting, restoration and attempts at preservation -- even identifying the individual pigments that da Vinci used.
Cotte used his camera to scientifically verify and visually recreate 25 secrets of the Mona Lisa that otherwise go unseen. Other discoveries include da Vinci's preparatory drawings, alterations, restorations, and historical events the painting has withstood. Using his Multi-spectral Imaging Camera, Cotte's work resulted in thirteen original photos of the masterpiece, with unequalled accuracy and resolution, showing how the Mona Lisa looked to Da Vinci's contemporaries: blue sky, pink face, brighter mountains, and green trees.
The exhibition now allows the public to see new details, including Mona Lisa's original gaze and smile, new findings regarding the mark on the corner of her eye, and the lace on her dress that has disappeared over time. |GlobalGiants.com|

There are are not a lot of people who'd tell you that 1988 - '92 was a crap time for music but for the same token not that many people who'd tell you it was an essential time for music.
We asked Kaiser Chiefs enigma of a guitarist Whitey what he would like to contribute to the takeover and got no response. We asked him what he loved and the response we got back was this no nonsense collection of YouTubes for you to click through and a mix-tape tracklist...
The email concluded with this little mixtape:
Whitey's top ten tracks from '88-92: This is when music was music
- Chapterhouse - Pearl
- Ride - Dreams Burn Down
- Smashing Pumpkins - Rhinoceros
- Wedding Present - Suck
- Catherine Wheel - Black Mettallic
- Sugarcubes - Hit
- Dinosaur Jr - No Bones
- Sonic Youth - Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit
- Teenage Fanclub - The Concept

The Ottawa Catholic School Board's Accessibility Committee works to promote the dignity and value of the whole person through identifying and addressing barriers for persons with disabilities among its students, staff and visitors. The committee was initiated in concordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) legislation and is comprised of representative members of employee groups and members at large who meet several times per year.

Disruption of Service Notice
Many Board and school facilities are equipped with services that enhance accessibility, including service ramps and elevators. Occasionally, these services are rendered unavailable due to a malfunction or other interruption. In the event that one of these services is disrupted, the Board or school facility will post a Disruption of Service Notice inside the building, as well as on their website, in an effort to keep staff and visitors fully informed until service can be restored. Active Disruption of Service Notices will be also posted here:

Accessibility Standards Online Workshop
The Accessibility Standards online workshop provides a short overview of how we can best assist persons with disabilities, the accessibility standards in place at the Ottawa Catholic School Board, and a Certificate of Completion (that can be printed) at the end of the workshop.

Accessibility Plan
The Board's official Accessibility Plan serves to fulfill its obligations to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Disability Act (ODA) by establishing and implementing necessary practices and procedures. The Accessibility Plan is a "living document" that is continuously reviewed and sculptured to reflect the evolving needs of our staff, students and visitors. During the last several years, there have been a several initiatives at the Ottawa Catholic School Board to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to people with disabilities, and the Board continues to work towards providing full access to all Board properties by 2025.

Protocol for Service Animals
The Board is pleased to accommodate persons with a disability who are accompanied by their guide dog or service animal in those areas of the premises owned or operated by the Board which are open to the public, unless another law excludes the animal. If law excludes the permission of a service animal, then the Board will use other measures to provide services to the person with a disability.
To be considered a service animal under the Customer Service Standard, O. Reg 429/07, it must be either readily apparent (obvious by its appearance or what it is doing) that the animal is being used because of a person's disability or the person with a disability must provide a letter from a physician or a medical practitioner that it is required because of their disability.

Oakland: Damsel in distress?
By awoodall
Friday, June 13th, 2008 at 3:04 pm in Uncategorized.
Bright and early this morning I got a call from the Mayor's office saying that they didn't like the tone of the NIght Owl column in today's paper — a follow up on the plague of armed restaurant robberies in April.
Of course, I shot my big mouth off but once I reread the story I could see where Dellums' aide was coming from. I could have been more obvious about crediting the mayor for getting safety measures going in the wake of the robberies; for doing something. That's assuming readers are too obtuse to recognize that I was poking fun at the mayor's office and people who are angry at Dellums for not being our prince in shining armor. We do need a mayor who is visible and active and NOT in South Africa during a crime spree. But he's not going to be our savior, which, I suspect, is the expectation that got him elected.
