This candy is actually the product of an acid-base reaction like your elementary school volcano project. The sodium bicarbonate and the acid in the honey and the brown sugar cause your sugary mixture to bubble up and create all those little delicious nooks and crannies that give honeycomb its unique texture.
CA Chemistry Standard: Students know the observable properties of acids, bases, and salt solutions.
Learning objective: By making honeycomb, students will identify and describe the properties of acids and bases in a delicious candy reaction.
Step 1: Supplies
63 grams honey (3 tablespoons)
100 grams brown sugar (1/2 cup)
5 grams baking soda (1 teaspoon)
Also make sure to have a candy thermometer on hand!
Step 2: Mix and Heat
Step 3: Add the Magic
When the baking soda is thoroughly incorporated, spread out onto waxed paper or buttered foil and spread.
Allow it to cool and harden completely, then break into chunks.
Store candy in a super air-tight container. Honeycomb candy is hygroscopic, meaning it takes in moisture from the air. Unattended candy will get sticky quick! Another great way to prevent this is to coat the pieces in chocolate - yum!
The second batch was 285 degrees and we removed it from the heat before adding the baking soda, then we poured it into a well greased (non-stick spray) casserole dish. The dish gives it a little more height. Once it cooled it easily broke apart and came out. Plus the color and flavor was better.
* Could be heated anywhere between 285 and 300 degrees.
* Remove from heat immediately before adding baking soda!
* Pour into a well greased (non-stick spray) casserole pan to cool.
We melted chocolate in a double boiler and dipped the pieces. Much better that way. It was a huge hit with everyone in the family.
One warning though: 285 degrees is really hot. Be careful not to get any on you. My teenage son got a little on his hand and got a good burn out of it. If it drips on the floor just let the dog at it once it cools. She did a better job then I did with the spatula.
I am kinda sad / kinda happy that I DON'T know where that factory is.
You can mail order it from a bunch of places tho. The dark choc covering is the BEST if you are a First Timer. TOPS grocerys back East might have it--think I have gotten it there if you go to one of the bigger stores they have awesome candy depts.
Very cool. I had always wondered how Violet Crumble, etc. are made. I'd like to try this with peanut butter, chocolate, lemon, orange, mint..... must find my candy thermometer!
Well, only one way to find out!
But we use golden syrup and granulated sugar instead of honey and brown sugar, I am going to have to try this variation. :)
What's golden syrup? Is that Corn Syrup?
just saying
just saying
Thanks for sharing.
It is normal to add a small quantity of Cream of Tartar to counter this and bring the 'Toffee' flavour out better.
The recipe I have uses light corn syrup so yours probably has a better honey taste.

Cane Bay avenged a loss to Ashley Ridge with a 2-1 victory over the Swamp Foxes Wednesday.
Starter Justin Shelton and BJ Thompson combined for a one-hitter while the Cane Bay offense tallied six hits. Cane Bay improved to 3-6 with the win while Ashley Ridge fell to 3-5.
"We've struggled the last week or so with some self-inflicted wounds," Cane Bay coach Shane Todd said. "We didn't play perfect tonight, but I thought the guys did a good job of overcoming those self-inflicted wounds. We worked through mistakes instead of letting a mistake lead to another mistake. Overall, I think they played pretty well."
The Cobras struck quick, scoring a run in the second inning. Blaine Peck got things started by reaching on an error. Davon Higgins then laid down a sacrifice bunt and Bryce Singletary reached on a walk. Cameron Rozal singled to load the bases and then leadoff hitter Jacob Page singled to plate Peck.
The Swamp Foxes were looking to tie the game in the third, but the Cobra defense rose to the occasion.
John Sanchez was hit with a pitch to open the bottom of the frame and then moved to third on a Cane Bay throwing error. Hunter Grover hit a deep fly ball and Sanchez tagged on the catch. But left fielder Trey Burdette gunned him down to secure the Cobra lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, Jason Miller reached on a walk and advanced to third on a double by catcher Wesley Aschenbrenner. The hit caused Cane Bay to go to its bullpen and Thompson relieved Shelton.
Grayson drove in Miller to tie the game, but Thompson struck out the next batter to get out of the inning without further damage.
Page reached on a Swamp Fox error to open the final inning. Two outs later, Billy Detyens singled to drive him in for the game-winning run.
Shelton fanned four Ashley Ridge batters in his time on the hill and walked four. Thompson fanned three batters while walking none.
"Right now we aren't doing the little things it takes to win ball games," Ashley Ridge coach BJ Bellush said. "We aren't fielding bunts and we only had one hit tonight. Cane Bay did a good job and their pitcher threw well, but we haven't hit the ball all year. Our guys are working hard, but we have to take the hitting from the cage onto the field. We have lost several one-run games so we just have to find a way to get those situational hits so we don't leave guys in scoring position."
Cane Bay opens region play Friday against West Ashley while Ashley Ridge opens region play Friday by hosting Colleton County.

iWatch rumored to be coming this year, include calling, maps, health features
Last month iMore learned Apple was going ahead with their "iWatch" wearable computer project, which would theoretically do for watches what the iPhone did for phones. Peter Burrows & Olga Kharif, writing for Bloomberg claim it could be coming as soon as this year, and what's more:
Features under consideration include letting users make calls, see the identity of incoming callers and check map coordinates, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren't public. It would also house a pedometer for counting steps and sensors for monitoring health-related data, such as heart rates, this person said.
Bloomberg's recapitulates their previous rumor, that Apple has a team of 100 people working on the project, which might sound high but, if accurate, almost certainly includes hardware engineers, hardware designers, user experience and interface designers, marketing people, members of the services team, and basically all points of the Ive, Federighi, Cue, Mansfield, Schiller star.
While Bloomberg also points to the 79 patents for wrist-bound devices, including flexible screens and kinetic charging, historically patents reflect huge fields of ideas, few of which result in recognizable real-world implementations. Apple doesn't like spoilers.
Google, of course, is working on a different kind of wearable technology, the Android-powered Google Glass glasses. I'm interested in both approaches, because I'm a fan of sci-fi and futurism. Which way are you leaning? Computer on your face, or computer on your wrist? And where's my Star Trek iBadge already?

iWatch rumored to be coming this year, include calling, maps, health features
From what it appears, the rumors on the Apple watch seems to be more linked as a phone "accessory" (such as a bluetooth headset, etc) while Google Glass is a full stand-alone device.
Personally, I like the idea of an "accessory" more. I will always have my phone with me (it is, most importantly, a phone), and the idea that I could just have it linked to something is more appealing that having a separate device with a separate data plan.
While the Google Glasses have a certain techy appeal to them, if my above statements are accurate, Apple is taking the smarter route IMHO to reach the mass population.
Plus, a watch can generally be worn all the time. I don't really see it being legal (or smart) to wear Google Glasses while driving.
The chances that I would strap a computer (Glass) to my head are zero, even if it was made by Apple.
But glance at a watch? Certainly. Raise my wrist and talk to Siri? Of course.
I actually find the process of raising my wrist (under my thick coat in Chicago, or dress shirt at work) to only be marginally more efficient than pulling my phone out of my pocket. It'd have to be pretty compelling to make me want to tote another device.
So I'd actually be interested in the glasses if it meant a better handsfree experience. But I'm concerned it'll evolve into Bluetool-ery all over again..
Depends on the execution, for both the face and the wrist devices. Glass is far more ambitious, but needs to come down an order of magnitude in price. The rumored iWatch seems like more of an accessory, with no real "wow" factor. (Which, by the way, is in and of itself an astounding commentary on personal tech to old guys like me -- something better than the once-futuristic"Dick Tracy" watch is a cause for a "meh" response.)
That has to be the fugliest watch I have ever seen lol Hope the real design is better looking :)
Agreed! I am actually kind of amazed that the medical options here do not make more of an immediate impact. As someone who has family members with HBP, diabetes and other areas of interests the notion of having a medical monitoring device on your wrist and active at all times seems to be an awesome life changing scenario for tech. Obviously notifications and maps would be huge but I really think the medical piece would be a really big deal to mainstream consumers.
The watch is a better bet. I think there is already an attempt to make health related gadgets looking at your calories such as body media and nike fuelband . If they can make a better product experience it could be a real great new addition. I was at a coach store with my wife 2 weekends ago and i realized apple really does try to intersect tech and fashion. The coach store and the apple store in many ways had a simmilar feel

- Fluctuations and correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions within transport approaches (2009)
- The current thesis is devoted to a systematic study of fluctuations and correlations in heavy-ion collisions, which might be considered as probes for the phase transition and the critical point in the phase diagram, within the Hadron-String- Dynamics (HSD) microscopic transport approach. This is a powerful tool to study nucleus-nucleus collisions and allows to completely simulate experimental collisions on an event-by-event basis. Thus, the transport model has been used to study fluctuations and correlations including the influence of experimental acceptance as well as centrality, system size and collision energy. The comparison to experimental data can separate the effects induced by a phase transition since there is no phase transition in the HSD version used here. Firstly the centrality dependence of multiplicity fluctuations has been studied. Different centrality selections have been performed in the analysis in correspondence to the experimental situation. For the fixed target experiment NA49 events with fixed numbers of the projectile participants have been studied while in the collider experiment PHENIX centrality classes of events have been defined by the multiplicity in certain phase space region. A decrease of participant number fluctuations (and thus volume fluctuations) in more central collisions for both experiments has been obtained. Another area of this work addresses to transport model calculations of multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions as a function of colliding energy and system size. This study is in full correspondence to the experimental program of the NA61 Collaboration at the SPS. Central C+C, S+S, In+In, and Pb+Pb nuclear collisions at Elab = 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 158 AGeV have been investigated. The expected enhanced fluctuations - attributed to the critical point and phase transition - can be observed experimentally on top of a monotonic and smooth 'hadronic background'. These findings should be helpful for the optimal choice of collision systems and collision energies for the experimental search of the QCD critical point. Other observables are fluctuations of ratios of hadrons (e.g. pions, kaons, protons, etc.) which are not so much affected by volume fluctuations. In particular HSD results for the kaon-to-pion ratio fluctuations, which has been regarded as promising observable for a long time, are presented from low SPS energies up to high energies at RHIC. In addition to the HSD calculations statistical model is also used in terms of microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Further a study of the system size event-by-event fluctuations causing rapidity forward-backward correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented. The HSD simulations reveal strong forward-backward correlations and reproduce the main qualitative features of the STAR data in A+A collisions at RHIC energies. It has been shown that strong forward-backward correlations arise due to an averaging over many different events that belong to one centrality bin. An optimization of the experimental selection of centrality classes is presented, which is relevant for the program of the NA61 collaboration at CERN, the low-energy program at RHIC, as well as future experiments at FAIR.

Futureland by Walter Mosley - it's an intriguing book, a bit weird but I like it all the same. The technology in it is slightly crazy as are the characters, a bunch of nutjobs honestly. xD

No. There are way too many characters already and the need for new ones isn't there. Tell the story as it was intended...
Maybe, depending on the situation/character
I went with maybe. Anybody with a character arc should be somebody already established. Cannon fodder, on the other hand (eg Saurod), is ok.
No. There are way too many characters already and the need for new ones isn't there. Tell the story as it was intended...
Yes, not too many, maximum of two, but yes. It is sad that now, it is like "forbidden" to create a character in a movie of comic/toys/animation series, be imaginative.
I am fine if they create characters in the movie, but only if it helps the story in some way. They have a multitude of characters to choose from already and I would love to see them used before creating new ones.
In Midwinter, the heat from the oven baking my Shrinky Dinks is all I need!
Absolutely not. We've already have a movie featuring almost exclusively new characters outside of the core heroes and villains. Not that I minded it then, as I loved Karg and Saurod. But MOTU and POP have a gigantic catalog of amazing characters, each of which already have devoted fans. It's time we have a film that exploits this vast catalog of characters, and does justice to the already established canon.

You may have defeated us, but you'll never see this child again!
We're in a slightly different situation now in that when the last movie was filmed, MOTU was still in full swing, (despite being on the way out as it's fan-base grew up, I mean business wise) bringing out new characters, toys, and merchandise all the time. So at that point putting new characters in the film was a great idea as new characters was one of the staples of MOTU.
However nowadays, there's not a toy/comic/book/cartoon line with regular new characters. The only toy line they are bringing out is old characters. The reason for the movie would be completely different. I.e. it's not part of the MOTU machine in the same way it was back then.
So there's certainly no need for new characters, but it would be nice to chuck a couple in to recapture some of the excitement of what MOTU once was. So in that respect, I'm indifferent as to whether they add new characters or not. It would be cool to see some new characters, but just seeing the old characters brought to life would be cool too. Especially with some fresh new designs to fit a movie.
In terms of using characters that were in the '87 film, well, they're just MOTU characters aren't they! Whether their first debut was in the movie, rather than the cartoon, or a mini-comic, or a ladybird book, etc. is irrelevant. Seems strange to segregate them into some kind of sub-section.
Absolutely not.
The MOTU universe has so many characters that we don't need new ones.
At least not in the first movie.
The gleam of the Power Sword lights your way as you enter the fantastic world of Eternia...
Not! For me the characters must be the same of original story!
I think that by and large new characters are not needed to fill any hero/villain roles. We have plenty of characters already established. What may be needed however is civilian type characters..
Maybe in the further on sequels but for the early films no. Not needed. He-Man has a lush history behind it that a new character isn't needed.
My personal opinion is that a new character shouldn't be needed. I understand that if a script calls for a new character - blah, blah, yeah, yeah, but there's like twenty different heroes and twenty different villians we eventually want to see on film. It's hard enough to justify more than about five on each side per movie (unless some are just going to lack much personality), but who are you going to invent that can't be handled by one of the other characters? A match for He-Man? Let's just make Skeletor stronger for the film (at least as a sorcerer), two barbarians bashing on each other doesn't seem quite as interesting to me as the master sorcerer versus the barbarian. Just because Faker may have been done poorly before doesn't mean a good writer couldn't fix that... Would even be a cool subplot for a sequel that had He-Man leaving Eternia to find his sister Adora... Faker could be used to cover for He-Man until something goes wrong, then Skeletor gains control and gives us the action figure version for a battle where He-Man smashes Faker to bits. There's almost too many heroes and villians unless the story is fleshed out over a three to five film saga. But it's just my personal opinion that you not add new characters... I could though maybe see like an Eternian soldier that kind of stood out, at least a reference character for the Eternian army... Maybe Teela's better off handling that role... Anyway, what kind of new character do you want to see that would have to potentially replace a classic character?
I put maybe, but with all of the hundreds of characters available, I would hope they would throw some of them in....
MOTU has SO many characters to choose from, there`s no need to create new ones.
MOTUC Most Wanted : Attak Trak, Stridor, Night Stalker, Masks of Power Demons,
Alcala-Style-Figures, Point Dread & Talon Fighter
Not yet, but then again Sony is gonna want a piece of the pie and definitely urge to have someone or something that would allow them some proprietary ownership and profit form the line which is why they even bothered to green light it so I hope it DOES NOT become a MAJOR factor for the movie!
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
If the character(s) work within the context of the story, I have no objections. If they are shoe-horned in or have the same abilities as an already established MOTU character and are used over them, then no.
MOTUC WISHLIST - Karg | Lady Slther | Kothos | Staghorn | Sorceress of Serpos Teela | Hunga the Harpy | Kittrina | Dylamug | Hawke | Angast | Zilora | Artilla | Quakke | Robo-Woman | Great Black Wizard | Enchantress | Red Beast | Delora | DC He-Man | DC Skeletor | Lodar | Fang-Or | Mini Comics Tri-Klops | Filmation Jitsu, Frosta & Kobra Khan | Hans Hammer Holder | Granita |
Yes, but only minor characters, in addition to classics! (I want toys of new characters too!)
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Not only do I think they should have all original characters, and no new characters, for the live action film, but I think they should keep the original characters as authentic to the original artists concepts, as possible.
Not only did I not like the addition of new characters, in the original live action film, I strongly disliked how they changed familiar characters. For example, the Teela did not feel like Teela, in the original film. She's such an important character, and it felt as though she was a throw-away character, in the film. They spent more time casting the young human girl (Cortney Cox), than they did casting Teela.
What I loved about the animate films, was it felt like watching an episode of the cartoon. Even when they introduced She-Ra, it felt like an extention of the familiar toy-line and cartoons.
They messed-up the first film. They messed-up the New Adventures of He-Man, and to some degree they messed-up the 200x series, although, the 200x series had a lot of depth in the story arc, but all of the characters seemed a bit hunch-back, and dark.
The Classics toy-line is a return to the Master's of the Universe, of yester-year, and has renewed interest in the series, in a way that, even the 200x series, couldn't do. There would not be a film, if not for the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line. Yeah, I know, there have been comics, and other things, since, but its the MOTUC, that's really given new interest, to this old franchise.
Of course, its important to note, that even MOTUC has added new characters. In-fact, there are fan-created characters, in the MOTUC line, including my favorite Standor. :-) Alright, I wouldn't mind seeing Stan Lee have a walk-on as Standor, lol. That would be pretty cool. I highly doubt he'd do it, but, if they could get Stan Lee to play Standor, I may make an exception to my no new characters rule.
Any new live action MOTU movie should be able to incorporate new characters into the mythos as well as featuring existing characters.
If the choice was between radically changing the nature of an existing character or creating a new character, I definitely say go with the latter!
MOTU fans are well used to new characters turning up in various media without detracting from the appreciation of the existing cast. Usually these new characters were representations of new waves of toys, but not always (looking at you Karg and about 200 Filmation characters).
Seems to me adding new characters via a movie alongside the existing cast is far preferable to creating new characters via the mini-comics that exist only in some far future era and/or dimension whereby said new characters cannot be easily (if ever made into MOTUC figures) displayed alongside figures of the existing cast of 'contemporary' characters - or indeed alongside even the Preternia era figures.
Saurod and Blade were excellent additions to MOTU. The lamentable failure of the 1987 movie to feature Trap Jaw, Mer-Man and Tri-Klops does not detract from the merits of these characters being added to the mythos.

Must reads
By George Vradenburg
This year we have seen real progress in the fight against Alzheimers, both in terms of science and political mobilization.

I was a really good mom. Great carpooler, all that. You're not interviewing my kids, right? Who needs a dissent? But I started writing columns, all humor. Wrote a screenplay. Wrote a steamy novel basically to humiliate my kids. I was having some success, and in the middle of all this, my daughter became a teenager. All of a sudden she was taken by aliens — if you have kids, you know this happens. My parent-effectiveness training went right out the window. I had met with "Designing Women," and they asked me to come out to L.A.

This is a story I wrote about my journey to Thailand.
Then I Defy You, Stars
Youre putting too much weight on your lead leg, and the Russian girl who hasnt smiled for the ten days that youve been here knows it. As she connects with a remorseless inside leg kick that hurts just slightly less than the right cross she follows it up with, you make a mental note to fix that hole in your game. Thing is, the mental notes are adding up to a mental novel and your game is beginning to feel more like a black hole. Add this to the Dutch guy who so kindly let you know you arent protecting your liver from combinations that end with left hook body shots. Which came after the South African dude went out of his way to demonstrate that youre open to overhand rights when you dont bring your lead hand back fast enough after a jab. Still, none were as willing to teach as the old Polish fucker who let you know very quickly that no one here is going to go easy on you. Sink or swim. Baptism by fire. Do or die. Whatever cliche metaphor helps you get through this.
Speaking of cliches, did I mention you may have never felt more alive than in this moment. Taking a beating from the (unofficial) United Nations of Muay Thai tends to put things into perspective. A two week training camp in Thailand has a way of realigning your priorities. In fact, heres a list of things that begin to matter the most: your current supply of electrolyte packages; your bartering skills; having a good stick to fend off packs of dogs on your walk home at night; being able to tell the difference between a legit Thai massage, and a Thai massage (or maybe not, Im not judging). The bell rings, telling you its time to switch partners, and Dopey motions you over for your next lesson. Class is in session!
Youre sitting in what feels distressingly like a strip club. It has the forced alcohol consumption, the DJ who introduces main attractions like hes a depressed Bob Barker on downers, and even the requisite girls in bikinis who you only look at from the corner of your eye even though youre supposed to be looking at them while they carry cards to announce round 3. The big difference is that Chaweng Stadium has a ring as opposed to a stage in the centre for the dudes in perv row to blow smoke into. A ring that currently occupies some of Koh Samuis top Muay Thai fighters kicking each other in the shins hard enough for you to second guess ever getting into this sport.
As the all too familiar hook from Macklemores Thrift Shop makes itself heard over the crowd, you notice the cute girl sitting a couple tables down in the all too familiar same same shirt. Same same: the best way to describe your first five days in Thailand up until tonight. Same same training from 8am to 10am followed up by a jump in the pool and vanilla smoothie to reward yourself. Same same location for brunch, lunch, and probably dinner to the point where the Thai family that runs the joint believes they may have unwittingly adopted you. Same same day spent on the beach reading Catch-22, practicing your backflips into waves, and generally ignoring your training partner (fucking Humphreys and his dumb yawn) as much as possible. Same same quick nap before training from 5pm-7pm as the sun sets and the geckos take over the walls of the gym. Same same Thai massage with your newfound Swedish friend before getting home early to do it all again the next day. Come to think of it, spending your night off from Muay Thai training to watch Muay Thai is basically just the all too familiar Thai slogan: same same but different.
Youre literally screaming in pain. Youll make sure to describe it as yelling if you ever write about this though; yelling sounds slightly more masculine. You decide right then and there that this is definitely in the top three most painful experiences of your life. Like you needed any more reason to hate yourself for foolishly running that scooter into a wall and fucking up your ankle with five full days of training left. Its not like you need your right leg to train Muay Thai or anything, right? You were just starting to think you were tough. Training with a torn ligament, isnt that what a professional fighter would have to do? Suck it up, princess. Pain is weakness escaping the body. No guts no glory. Cliches are not helping right now. Just when you think you are tough a diminutive, soft spoken, old Thai man is showing you otherwise. He regards himself as a healer, but as he presses deeply into your swollen, purple, throbbing ankle you think he seems more like a torture artist. This is the type of pain that breaks you. You think you can handle it during the first few minutes. You begin to count seconds and hope it will be over before you embarrass yourself. Soon enough there is nothing in the world except you and the pain. There is no choice but to break and accept it, hence the screaming yelling.
There is a bright side to this injury. The Seven Dwarfs (aka your Thai trainers) have finally noticed you, and seem to be impressed that youve been toughing it out. Doc noticed your wrapped up ankle and began to pantomime getting it amputated while laughing. Grumpy has actually began smiling at you! Sneezy has taken it upon himself to be your personal boxing tutor, which is either good or bad depending on what the result of him coughing on you repeatedly will be. Right now Sleepy is not impressed that youre disturbing his post morning session nap with your scream yelling.
Your instructors at N1 Thai back in Ottawa, your veritable second home, had given you insight into what training in Thailand would be like, but youre beginning to realize how much they left out. In fact, heres a list of things they didnt tell you: that youll end up sharing the top floor of your on site accommodations with a team of about twenty Russians, who slam doors every minute from about 7am to 2am; that attending one of Thailands infamous ping pong shows will destroy a part of your soul; that youll be so consumed by Muay Thai that you dream about it and wake yourself up by punching and kicking the air over your bed; that youll have to mind the ladyboys (actually, everyone tells you that). Your torturer finally tells you he is done. The joy you feel is short lived when he informs you hell be waiting for you at this time every day until you leave.
Youre in the same clothes youve been wearing for over twenty four hours. Same pants you put on in Ottawa. Same hoodie you had on in Chicago. Same shirt you were wearing in Tokyo. Same underwear now that youve finally made it to your gym in Thailand. You want nothing more than to shower and change but its 7:30am and no one is around. What were you expecting, a welcoming committee for you and Humps? Some type of celebration of your arrival? The first person you meet is a Swedish girl named Jolin who looks more lost than you do. When you tell her youre Canadian she asks if you know Macklemore (the hipster inside you cringes at his now seemingly worldwide explosion in popularity).
When youre shown to your room the first thing you do is check out the view from the balcony. Waiting for you there is a massive praying mantis who turns its head towards you as you step out. This is good, this is very good. Call it an omen, a sign from the Muay Thai gods. When just before your trip you asked Humos, the man with more nicknames than you can keep track of, what his fighter moniker would be well you can guess what the gangly 64 dude with reach for days answered. Hopefully this foreshadowing of good fortune has a vicarious effect on you. All you really hope for on this trip is to not injure yourself, which shouldnt be an issue as long as you dont do anything foolish. If you ever write about this you wont refer to it simply as a trip though. This is a pilgrimage. This is the equivalent of the Holy Land for any Muay Thai practitioner. This is a voyage to the very roots of your craft. The physical voyage is the payment, the spiritual journey is the reward. Its a chance to leave everything behind and focus solely on the art of eight limbs. In fact, heres a list of things that will not matter to you while youre on this odyssey: who is performing during the Superbowl halftime show; the schizophrenic nature of Ottawa weather in late February; the hundreds of emails you receive at work while youre away, and how only a handful actually have anything to do with you; that girl with the freckles like constellations (okay fine, lately thoughts of her follow you anywhere you go). The mantis takes one last look at you before skittering away as you change out of the pants you wont need for the next fourteen days.
Youre celebrating the fact that after fourteen days of ardour you can officially cross off a long time bucket list item. How does one celebrate grinding out a two week Muay Thai training camp? Basically the same way you celebrate anything in Koh Samui, which is with a mango smoothie. Youve opted to treat yourself by enjoying said smoothie at the expensive seafood restaurant on the main road near Chaweng Beach. Jolin is telling you for the umpteenth time about her love of cats, both the domesticated, stray, and internet variety. Your attention strays to the truck driving by with the loudspeaker announcing SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY come watch the worlds most ancient and devastating martial art. BE THERE, there, there
You begin to reflect on how exactly you got to this point. How did such a pussy become such a slightly less of a pussy? How did someone who has spent their life deescalating physical confrontation, using their words and reason to settle arguments, get into combat sports? How did someone who so vehemently opposes violence immerse themselves in a practice that is known for its brutality? The epiphany hits you like an unchecked leg kick. For you, fighting in the name of athletic competition represents the opposite of savagery. This is a world where humans have yet to evolve past the point where our differences so easily become a reason for us to kill one another with reckless abandon. We fight each other for all the wrong reasons, and in all the wrong ways. Strip away the fear, the hatred, the ignorance; take away the bullets, the bombs, the destruction; keep only two people with their skill, their respect, their honour, and you are left with something beautiful. You are left with the purest form of struggle. You are left with Jolin and Frazzle laughing at you because you didnt notice them steal your last two spring rolls!

Vonn fades to 21st in returnBy PAT GRAHAM
The Associated Press | November 25,2012AP PHOTO
Tina Maze races down the course en route to victory in a World Cup giant slalom ski race in Aspen, Colo., on Saturday.ASPEN, Colo. Immediately after crossing the finish line, Lindsey Vonn collapsed to the snow in complete exhaustion.
Her stamina gone, Vonn simply couldnt make up ground on winner Tina Maze of Slovenia in a World Cup giant slalom race Saturday. Vonn finished 21st in her return after missing time with an intestinal illness.
Then again, given the way Maze has been racing of late, no one was going to catch her. She used a blazing final run to finish in a combined time of 1 minute, 59.39 seconds to hold off Kathrin Zettel of Austria by nearly a second. Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany was third.
The 29-year-old Maze also won the season-opening GS race in Soelden, Austria, last month, with Zettel taking second there, too.
I feel like people are watching me now, more than before, said Maze, who did a cartwheel after the win. Id like it to continue this way.
All eyes were on Vonn, too, just to see how she performed after a bad stomach bug recently landed her in the hospital.
Vonn was 10th after the first run, but didnt have anything left in the tank for the second pass through the challenging course. The more the four-time overall champion tried to attack the hill, the more snow she sent flying in every direction and the more speed she lost.
I didnt have the energy I needed to really be competitive, said Vonn, who earned her first World Cup points of the season. Its been a real fight to even be able to race today. I didnt have it.
Im a competitor. This isnt exactly the kind of result I was hoping for. But I have to still keep things in perspective and realize that I was very sick just a few days ago. Im just happy to be racing again.
Her strength has been completely wiped out by the virus, which is finally responding to antibiotics. Until Saturday, she hadnt made it through a full GS run since the bug hit without pulling off to the side out of breath.
This definitely helps with her confidence.
Eventually, on a course like this, its all going to catch up with you, said Vonn, who will skip the slalom Sunday to conserve energy. Your whole body is going to shut down at some point. I just have to stay positive and keep building.
Maze is showing just how determined she is to take Vonns overall title. She switched ski technicians before the season and theyve instantly been in tune. Maze also finished fourth in a slalom race in Levi, Finland, two weeks ago.
Its natural, the way Im skiing, she said. Everything is under control. I dont risk too much.
Although Maze finished runner-up to Vonn in the overall standings last season, she still thought of it as a hard year.
It was not a perfect season for me, Maze said. Even though I was second in the end, I had many troubles and many mistakes. I wasnt happy at all. It was tough. I didnt win any races last year.
She might not have ended up No. 1 on the slopes last season, but Maze has recently occupied the top spot on the musical charts in Slovenia.
She sang on a music video entitled, My way is my decision, a catchy pop tune. The music video has already generated nearly 800,000 hits on Youtube.
Maze also plays a pretty mean air guitar in the video with her skis.
A budding singer?
Im a skier. I dont want to be a singer, Maze said. But I do like to have fun besides skiing. It was fun to make the video. Im proud of this.
Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin had the best finish for the Americans as she wound up in ninth place. The 17-year-old was actually on the final step of the podium for quite a while, before finally being bumped off.
Thats a big breakthrough, Shiffrin said.
Julia Mancuso couldnt agree more for not only Shiffrin, but the rest of the young U.S. skiers.
Sometimes, it can be daunting with people like me and Lindsey doing well, said Mancuso, who finished 15th. Its good to show the rest of the team that you just have to go for it. Dont set sights too low because me and Lindsey are both beatable by the young ones just like today.
The day didnt go quite as well for Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany. She caught an edge that knocked her off balance and straight toward a gate. Just before crashing into the obstacle, she stuck up her left arm, saving her face but bruising her arm.
It hurts pretty bad, said Hoefl-Riesch, whose day was done but still arm willing, of course plans to ski in the slalom race. Im really disappointed because I had good training the last two weeks. I was really fast in the training. Obviously, I cant bring it down in the race. Its really sad.

Voting districts may be reviewed any time changes take place in Georgia cities and counties such as annexations, but the districts are always subject to review following the U.S. Census. The new voting districts for Gray were submitted to the U.S. Justice Department Feb. 1, with additional information sent Feb. 13.
City Attorney Joan Harris received a letter from the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department dated March 19 stating that the attorney general did not object to the submitted changes.
Jones County Election Superintendent Marion Hatton will be handling Gray's election and said she received the information and maps of the new voting districts. She said all registered voters in the city would receive notification of their voting districts this summer.
Gray has the elected offices of mayor, mayor pro tem, and four council members representing each of the city's four districts. All of those offices will be up for election Nov. 5.

How closed-minded. Kids have choices. A parent, or parents, can raise them right, and they still choose the wrong path. I've been a single parent of a 22-year-old young man since he was 5. He is not violent, graduating college and works in an honest profession. Kudos to all single parents; especially those widows and widowers who are not single by choice.
Uniquely Aiken
You left out the best of the best uniquely Aiken gifts: "Yes, Barbara, There is an Aiken," Marti Healy's newest book. It is a selection of Marti's columns, which were originally written for Aiken Standard. All are about people, pets and places in Aiken. The book also includes numerous original photographs and is available for $15.
Yellow lines
To the yellow lines TalkBack, it's pretty simple, if you answer three simple questions. Do you breathe air? Do you eat food? Do you go to the bathroom every day? Then you can get a job with SCDOT, and they'll give you cans of paint and have fun. Just try to get them as straight as you can.
A real tree
As pretty as Aiken is downtown with all the decorations and as abundant as all the tree farms are, why doesn't Aiken bring in a live tree instead of that old metal thing they drag in every year? That thing is atrocious. I don't get it.

Better Google Voice functionality coming soon to Google Search app for iPhone
Google has announced they're updating their voice-powered Google Search app for iPhone and iPad with functionality that sounds like it's much more competitive with Apple's own voice-powered service, Siri.
In the latest version of the Google Search App for iOS and Android, not only can you say your question out loud, but your search app can speak your answer right back to you. And, using Google's Knowledge Graph, your search app gives you smarter answers loud and clear.
While Google's original iOS apps were disappointing native wrappers around web views, they've really stepped up their game lately with the new Google+ app and improvements to the still middling Gmail app. Google is also reportedly working on an iOS YouTube app to replace the built-in YouTube app that's been removed in iOS 6 beta 4, and it's widely expected they be making a Google Maps app for iOS, or refreshed Google Earth app, since Apple is replacing the Google-powered built-in Maps app with a new, Apple and TomTom-powered iOS 6 Maps app.
Making Google Search competitive with Siri will be important for Google as Apple continues to remove them from the built-in systems, and intermediate and broker search traffic -- and the all-important user data that comes with it -- away from Google.
Since most users stick to defaults and built-in functionality, and App Store apps require users to learn about them and go to the trouble of downloading and manually launching them each time they want to use them, even an improved Google Search isn't on equal footing with Siri, but at this point, Google's business model needs every iOS user they can hold on to. The only way to do that is by providing compelling apps and services that make users seek them out.
Sadly, the App Store doesn't provide the the type of system-level access Google would need to build something on the level of Google Now for iOS -- something that proactively, almost pseudo-precognitively finds out information for you, but what they're doing on Android should certainly keep Apple on their toes.
Look for the new Google Search app on the App Store soon. Meanwhile, here's a link for the current version, and a video of what's to come...

Better Google Voice functionality coming soon to Google Search app for iPhone
Thats an odd thing to say since they don't do all the same things and the new version you are saying is better isn't even out yet.
Troll much?
The interesting part of google now - and the part that should worry Apple - is neither the searching nor the voice, but its ability to prompt and anticipate, which needs the sort of system level access Apple is never going to provide. It is one thing to pull up directions to your next appointment on your phone; it is quite another if your phone gives you directions and estimates time to your next appointment with current traffic conditions before you even ask for it. That is what attentive human assistants do. Whether you find it helpful or just creepy, there is no denying it is very powerful.
That will never come to iOS, but if, on Android, Google 1) makes it work consistently as advertised, 2) resists the temptation to overload it as an ad conduit, 3) demonstrates a minimal battery penalty - all big ifs - that becomes a pretty big feature gap Apple will have to address.
You don't think Apple could get Siri to that level of meta-intuition?
I didn't mean to imply Apple can't do this -- I am sure they are working on it as we speak, and have been for a while. I think this level of data aggregation is more Google's bread-and-butter than Apple's, but Apple certainly has enough talent to pull it off.
Apple should only worry because this is one of the first really killer (IMHO) features that Google has beaten Apple to the finish line. While Apple has an outstanding track record of being second-to-market-but-executing-so-much-better-than-the-first-guy, Google to their credit seems to have put much more thought into Now that Apple's opportunity to do that seems narrower than in the past. I hope Now ends up that good, and I hope it worries Apple so much that it spurs them even higher.
Of course, my darkhorse hope is that Google learned from Apple, and with Google Now somehow applied for absurdly broad patents of their own, for things like "aggregation of personal data from different sources to provide contextual information wirelessly," and blocks Apple from selling their implementation. Not because I particularly want to see Apple blocked, but it looks like we have to trigger Patent Armageddon in order to move past the silliness of the current system.
Google Now looks, feels, performs better.
Atleast that what i've seen in videos.
Rene, time for a Siri vs. Google Now!

Interesting idea raised by Jimmy in another thread - if an advanced race fully understood their DNA they could recreate themselves as they saw fit. Topic for discussion: What would be the ultimate modifications?
I'm imagining almost all brain, living in an almost indestructible metal shell connected to robotic limbs that could be changed out as necessary. What do YOU think?

They might view our planet as a terrible candidate being that it's almost entirely covered in water - bleh!
If 'they' had a very good propulsion system how much do you think this logic would hold? Would an alien culture hold to the galactic core and arms or look for other interesting places off the beaten path? A similar point comes up compairing this to how our early explorers traveled. They did not always follow the continental margins, but sometimes tested areas much further out from home. I expect that they might not have similar hangups, to be affraid of dropping off the edge of the world/galaxy.
I expect 'finding your way home' might still be a problem given the vast territories to explore. Using references for location might be difficult in some areas.
If 'they' had a very good propulsion system how much do you think this logic would hold?
Pretty well. Light speed is as good as propulsion gets. Even then, in a galaxy 100,000 light years across and 1,000 light years thick, a typical trip means a commitment of resources and many years (one way) including the time it takes to accelerate and decelerate.
Would an alien culture hold to the galactic core and arms or look for other interesting places off the beaten path?
I suppose, but wild statistical anomalies like "they're just nuts" aside, why would a people do that? Whatever your reason for "looking"-- exploration, conquest, colonization, resource exploitation-- you're better off heading for regions where stars with rocky planets are light-months or light-years apart, rather than light-decades, light-centuries, or light-millenia apart. You increase your chances for a "hit" by looking in places where there's just more of what you're looking for. If you want to see lots of horses, head for the Kentucky derby, not a one-horse town.
A similar point comes up compairing this to how our early explorers traveled. They did not always follow the continental margins, but sometimes tested areas much further out from home. I expect that they might not have similar hangups, to be affraid of dropping off the edge of the world/galaxy.
This is loosely akin to the notion of the 'galactic habitable zone' which nobody really has defined as an actual region of the galaxy so much as a concept.
Single stars, more widely spaced, are better for producing hospitable planets. You're more likely to end up with worlds like earth, circling a star in a neat, calm, mostly round orbit. You get mostly steady and predictable temperatures at the equator. Our nearest galactic neighbors are two light years away; a pair of stars that never do anything unexpected.
Be glad, because binary systems or other complex arrangements of stars, all bunched together, are mostly awful places to be. You get planets racing around two or three suns, freezing one moment and boiling the next while they're swapped around like a basketball at a Harlem Globetrotters game. There are stars all around, dumping radiation, going supernova, throwing gravitational temper tantrums, heaving out gamma ray bursts, and every time one does it: your primordial soup of life (or your advanced civilization) gets frozen, boiled, incinerated, smashed to bits, or sterilized. It only has to happen once every couple of hundred million years.
These would be the galactic 'uninhabitable zones'. The extreme center of the galaxy probably is one. You won't drop off the edge, but it's best to avoid such places, especially if you're looking for other civilizations or have colonization in mind.
(Click on the image to see all of it)
Seems to be a very good evaluation.
Some details:
Would a species with ~C propulsion have equipment for deep space planet fall sensing?
I would expect that a search such as this would be mostly continuous and would be part of a mapping program. Given the distances involved they would need natural references for both flight and planet fall.
Also given the distances, mapping of materials for craft repairs and food would be needed. I expect that they would be 'living off the land' with a highly developed technology for raw materials processing, fabrication, fuel. This might mean very large ships, with an active population on the craft. They might be involved with establishing stations on habitiable planets or in useful nebula, which might again offer a very visiable reference from great distances away. I wonder if they might establish fuel depots in nebula or around gas giants?
I would expect that star systems that are more issolated from others to have more stable planetary orbits due to reduced perterbations from other systems. Also older systems, or main sequence stars, would have suns that are less prone to ugly transitions or flares. Having your station cooked by the local star could be a horrble loss of life and cultural investment.
Flight through nebula with very active star formation might be hard on equipment and personel, due to heavy radiation load.
I think we could build logic models for different 'exploration plans' to determine where we might look for both habitable planets and possible civilizations. 'If we were them, where would we look and live?'
Given that thay might not be that different from us, they might have the same needs, but cultures might be very different with their own obsessive concerns.
I really don't believe ETs will be travelling, much. It would make so much more sense to send off small probes filled with eggs, filled with genetic code that can be updated via wireless, ala Google Docs.
Well you could have atleast humored me..;p).
The 'Poor Alien' protocol is the more likely....
I read today that lobsters are basically immortal. Alive until killed somehow.
"No one alive today would get to live - we can't change your current DNA."
Obviously. But as there would be a considerable financial outlay. who decides who gets to live "forever" - presumably without pain. Just the rich? I'll pass, thanks.
This would, at the same time, be central to the idea and off-topic.
Eventually population controls will be put in place - either by us or by nature. Nature is not known for being humane, even in comparison with the most despicable humans. I think our future likely lies with a group that sets itself apart in ruthlessness to pursue such goals - much as our history has shown.
Bigger penises for white and Asian men.

Obama favorability hits three-year high
President Barack Obama's favorability rating is at a three-year high.
Obama has a 60 percent favorability rating, 37 percent unfavorable, and the rest are unsure, according to a Washington Post / ABC News poll out Wednesday.
Obama's rating is up from an election year where his rating averaged in the mid-to-low 50 percentage range, The Post noted.
His highest favorability came in 2009 when he had a 79 percent as he started his first term in January 2009.
Pollsters telephoned a random sample of 1,022 American adults between Jan. 23 and Jan. 27, it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Wind: 6 mph
To The Editor:
There is a significant amount of community interest building in the middle school math curriculum at Harwood and Crossett Brook Middle schools. The recent NECAP scores have highlighted a deficiency in the program, but small sample sizes can distort the real results. A March14 letter to the parents of next year's eighth grade indicated the end of a classroom-based algebra program. Taken at face value, it looks to be a continuing step towards mediocrity. Parents are concerned; there were two letters on the subject in last week's Valley Reporter. In addition there is a Facebook page, Winning with Algebra, for more background.
The administration is proposing a mathematics information session. If you have a child you believe would be a candidate for taking algebra in the middle school, please come to the meeting being held in the Harwood High School library at 6 p.m. on May 3. Significant changes have been proposed to the eighth-grade algebra offering and this is your chance to find out more. An additional opportunity to express your concern is the regular Harwood school board meeting on April 18.
The eighth-grade algebra class is being replaced with a new program, Connected Math 2. As parents, we are being told that it is a rigorous and algebra-rich program. However, for students to get to the level of their predecessors by the end of the eighth grade, they would need to take an additional algebra class on their own time.
How can it be more rigorous and yet require an additional course to get to the same place? This doesn't seem to be following Governor Shumlin's and Education Commissioner Vilaseca's initiatives in mathematics to do more earlier. The last thing we should be doing is making changes that teach less.
There is no reason for any engaged student to accomplish less than algebra by the end of the eighth grade as part of the standard math curriculum.
As parents we have many questions, and we welcome the opportunity for answers. Please come to the May 3 meeting.

Festival to turn Centennial Terrace into a 'Big Fat Indian Wedding'Written by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
When Arun Agarwal got married, 1,300 guests attended.
In India, it's not uncommon to have that many people in attendance; weddings in India are grand occasions, usually days-long, elaborate events with colors and high-energy entertainment, said Sangeeta Mehta, co-chair of Sylvania's Festival of India alongside Agarwal.
"At the end of it, people are just done; it's like they need a vacation to overcome the time," she said.
A lot of planning and thought goes into an Indian wedding as well.
"It's really about bringing the extended family and community together," said Atul Agnihotri, president of the Hindu Temple of Toledo. "It's not considered as just a relationship between a man and a woman, it's considered to be an integral part of how society grows."
The Festival of India, like an Indian wedding, will be on a grand scale this year. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, this year's festival has the theme "My Big Fat Indian Wedding." Guests will be greeted with plenty of color, music, food and dancing.
Agnihotri said the festival will include 100 performers, all volunteers.
One of the main events during the festival is the stage show, which will feature a couple reminiscing about the early days to the later years of their lives. The stories will be told through songs and dances in Bollywood style. This show is choreographed by Mehta.
"It's absolutely impossible to capture every single event [of an Indian wedding], so we kind of capture the major events that are a part of most of the weddings," Mehta said. "We are going to depict that with the dance and the significance of what's going on and why it is done … it's not learning or teaching; it's more of an exposure and entertainment."
Mehta used to teach dance classes and is excited for people to learn moves at the festival.
Other entertainment will include an Indian drummer, a face-painting booth for kids and plenty of Indian street food and delicacies.
The food is Agarwal's favorite part of the festival. It's something he looks forward to when he returns to India for business as well.
"I am a foodie so I go to eat," he said.
Some foods that will be featured include: an Indian vegetarian burger that includes a potato patty between two Indian-style breads with Indian chutneys, Indian-style Chex mix, Bombay-style mega sandwiches, pav bhaji (an Indian-style sloppy joe) and more.
"We are going to give everybody an experience of India but with a touch of American," Agarwal said. "We try to keep it less spicy so that people who don't like spice will still enjoy."
Usually the favorite dish is paani poori, a tamarind juice with puffed round chips.
The Hindu Temple of Toledo is an Ohio landmark, Agnihotri said.
"Temple today is not just a place of worship. It is a place where Toledo connects with a part of the world," he said.
The 25th anniversary of the festival coincides with the expansion of the Temple of Toledo, which is currently undergoing renovations. The temple is usually the venue for the festivals but because they are expecting a bigger celebration, this year's festivities will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 10 at the Centennial Terrace, 5773 Centennial Road. This is a free event and it's open to the public.
"You have to spend nothing to come and experience an Indian wedding," Agnihotri said.

Good deed is punishedFebruary 02,2013Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.
Anyone with information about the unknown woman is asked to call the Vermont State Police, Rockingham barracks, at (802)-875-2112.
Police reminded motorists that picking up hitchhikers, although a kind gesture, can be a dangerous activity. Police recommended that people not pick up hitchhikers, or if they do, use extreme caution.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

"I can't," was the correct answer in a recent arts infused lesson at Windsor Hills Arts Infused Elementary School.
Each student was given a different material and asked to independently build a bridge that spanned a foot and could carry the weight of a toy car. After a brief examination of their one material, students quickly started expressing the impossibility of the task.
Students were then led in a discussion comparing the process of building a physical bridge structure to building bridges between people. Students reflected on the need for collaboration and different means of communication.
Following this dialogue, students joined forces bringing to each team their different building material and ideas. In contrast to the bewilderment exhibited in the first independent challenge, students approached the group project with eagerness and excitement.
After the bridges were successfully tested, students reflected on the attributes that assisted their team in not only building the bridge but also in building bridges between themselves and other people.

Ocarina cheats work for DM right?
I should also add that if you want to have Action Replay support, you need to specifically have MIOS v4.
On the gamecube I believe action replay worked like this: You put the Action Replay disc in, it installs the cheats to the ram or to the save file, then you do a disc switch.
This is different from Wiird Codes, which DIOS MIOS supports.
Ocarina cheats work for DM right?
Oh, I don't use the cheats in multiplayer or to beat the games, I just find some of them amusing. Like moon jump by honking your horn in Simpsons Hit & Run lol.Originally Posted by jax
