Like the punk music performed by Russian feminist provocateurs Pussy Riot, the documentary that captures their story is an energetic blast of noise and color that is a must-see for anyone into punk-rock, politics or journalism.
Pussy Riot--A Punk Prayer, directed by Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin, is a remarkably complete look at the story of three women named Masha, Nadia and Katia, whose arrest for "hooliganism" after an impromptu Pussy Riot performance in a Moscow cathedral turned the world's attention to modern Russia's justice system, and the masses who feel the election of Vladimir Putin was reason to hit the streets with some good old-fashioned popular protest.
Pussy Riot formed around the time Putin retook office, in winter of 2011, and came to international attention when they were sentenced to prison for what was essentially a publicity stunt to protest the intermingling of church and state in modern Russia. The film does a decent job in illustrating why people like the trio were appalled at Putin's return to the presidency, but it excels in showing what a joke the trial of the three young women was.
The access allowed the filmmakers--and the press in general--is amazing, and the film is full of great visuals of the media crowding around the young women in court, of protesters dressing in Pussy Riot's "uniform" of balaclavas, tights and summer dresses taking to the streets, and of religious folks appalled by what Pussy Riot did in their sacred cathedral. Interviews with the band members and their parents go far in showing us how these young women came to be politicized to the point of picking up guitars and going after the most powerful man in their country.
Even if you've kept up with the Pussy Riot story from afar, Pussy Riot--A Punk Prayer is essential viewing. From practice sessions to the appeals court, the filmmakers were with them the entire way through their saga, and this movie will prove a document of true historic import to anyone interested in the intersection of art and political protest.
Even if you never hear another Pussy Riot song after leaving the theater, you'll find yourself wanting to join their cause at least in spirit, if not in deed.
Remaining screenings:
Jan. 23, 9 a.m., Temple Theatre, Park City
Jan. 24, 6 p.m., Egyptian Theatre, Park City

A lymphatic malformation is a mass in the head or neck that results from an abnormal formation of lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic vessels are small canals that lie near blood vessels and help carry tissue fluids from within the body to the lymph nodes and back to the bloodstream.
There are two main types of lymphatic malformations:
Nearly all cystic hygromas occur in the neck, although some lymphangiomas can occur in the mouth, cheek, and tissues surrounding the ear, as well as other parts of the body. Lymphatic malformations are present at birth, but they are sometimes not detected until the child is older. Some lymphatic malformations can spread into surrounding tissues and affect the proper development of the area. Lymphatic malformations may also enlarge and become infected following an upper respiratory infection.
Lymphatic malformations are sometimes seen in children with certain chromosome abnormalities and genetic conditions, including Down syndrome and Turner syndrome.
A lymphatic malformation is a congenital (present from birth) defect that occurs during early embryonic development when the lymphatic vessels do not properly form. The vessels may become blocked and enlarged as lymphatic fluid collects in the vessels, forming a mass or a cyst.
An internal lymphatic malformation in the mouth or cheek may not be noticed until it becomes infected and enlarges. Cystic hygromas can grow very large and may affect breathing and swallowing. The following are the most common symptoms of a lymphatic malformation. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of a lymphatic malformation may resemble other neck masses or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
During pregnancy, a fetal ultrasound may detect some large lymphatic malformations. Ultrasound is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate organs and structures inside the body with high-frequency sound waves. After birth, diagnosis of a lymphatic malformation is generally determined by a physical examination. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a lymphatic malformation may include the following:
Specific treatment of lymphatic malformation will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include:
A small percentage of lymphangiomas can regrow and are often detectable within a year after surgery. Regrowth is more likely with larger and more complicated malformations.

How many of you out there can say you've snowmobiled 10 months out of the past year? We're guessing not many. But MotorFist's Brad Ball can.
He sent us these pictures today from his ride yesterday at Smith's Fork near Afton, WY.
He said, "We went for the final ride of the season. It was still good."
With his ride on July 14, Ball has now ridden for 10 months out of the year this year. Lucky dog.

Sheriff's office investigates armed robbery at apartment

Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:32 p.m.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed robbery at a home in northern Davidson County after an incident occurred early Tuesday morning.
The victim was playing video games in his apartment on Leisure Time Lane when two men forced their way into the apartment, said DCSO Capt. Casey Tarleton. Deputies received a call concerning the incident at 3:48 a.m., according to a report.
Tarleton said one of the men came into the house and pointed a gun. The captain added that the victim was in the house with two of his relatives. A bag of marijuana was taken during the incident, he said. The police report also listed a cell phone, wallet, $200 in cash and a debit card being stolen, with all of the property being valued at $360.
No injuries occurred and no shots were fired, the captain said. The sheriff's office also had no suspects as of late Tuesday afternoon.
Tarleton said one of the men had his face half covered, and the other man did not have his face covered.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Lexington Area Crimestoppers at 243-2400 or the DCSO at 242-2105.

FDA approved AstraZeneca's blood-thinning drug Brilinta (ticagrelor) to reduce cardiovascular death and heart attack in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It works by preventing the formation of new blood clots, thus maintaining blood flow in the body.
Brilinta has been studied in combination with aspirin. A boxed warning to healthcare professionals and patients warns that aspirin doses above 100 milligrams per day decrease the effectiveness of the medication.
"In clinical trials Brilinta was more effective than Plavix in preventing heart attacks and death, but that advantage was seen with aspirin maintenance doses of 75 to 100 milligrams once daily," points out Norman Stockbridge, M.D., Ph.D., director of the division of cardiovascular and renal products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The boxed warning also notes that like other blood-thinning agents Brilinta increases the rate of bleeding and can cause significant, sometimes fatal, bleeding. The most common adverse reactions reported by people taking the drug in clinical trials were bleeding and difficulty breathing.
Brilinta was approved with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, under which the company must conduct educational outreach to physicians to alert them about the risk of using higher doses of aspirin. In addition, Brilinta will be dispensed with a Medication Guide that informs patients of the most important information about the treatment.
Brilinta is now sanctioned in 39 countries including the U.S., Brazil, Australia, Canada, and in the EU (where it is called Brilique) reimbursed in seven countries. AstraZeneca says that the therapy is currently under regulatory review in an additional 45 countries including Russia, India, and China.

How would you rank Mila Kunis?
What other guys thought:
Watch the video
Why is Mila Kunis desirable?
Mila Kunis' best on-screen performance of 2013 was definitely the viral interview she did with BBC reporter Chris Stark, where she eased his nerves by going off-topic and proving yet again that she's what young men's dreams are made of. She'll be starring in the next film from the Wachowskis, Jupiter Ascending, and the comedy-drama.

"In 10 years, productive project managers will be in high demand, especially if they can work across industries, cultures and languages," says workplace consultant Steve Langerud. "Ask yourself, Where have I been a project manager, and how can I do more of that?" Your expertise at guiding a team could translate to a similar role in another field. Another skill to work on: leadership. "At a certain point there's an assumption of talent, but not necessarily an assumption of leadership," says Amy Dorn Kopelan, president of Bedlam Productions. Volunteer for opportunities within your company and for community efforts that fit your interests; you'll gain experience, broaden your network and sharpen transferable skills.
Q: I've been hearing about "T-shaped skills." Can you explain?
Paul Saffo, technology forecaster and consulting professor at Stanford University: This is an idea you will hear often at Stanford. T-shaped people have one area of deep expertise and broad skills on top of that.
Q: Ok… So how do I get T-shaped?
PS: My advice is, seek "adjacent expertise." In other words, figure out what things will help you do your job better and will also be a lily pad to hop to if your current job evaporates.
Q: Do you mean become a generalist?
PS: No. Everybody loves hanging around with generalists, but nobody really wants to pay them. That said, general skills are absolutely essential, because in any current job, everybody is going to multifunction. You need to be able to work outside your formal area of expertise.
Q: What kinds of extra skills do I need?
PS: Don't confuse T-shaped with acquiring a bunch of vertical skills. We're not talking about English majors who become software engineers. That's trading one insecure career for another. The skills have to be more closely related, or complementary, and have to offer a higher level of abstraction. For instance, if you have an engineering degree, get a management degree in addition—that could end up serving you well.
Q: How do I figure out what those "complementary" skills might be?
PS: In the short term, look at the skills that are taken for granted in college freshmen. The kids now coming in all know HTML. It's like typing used to be for people in their fifties. I teach in an engineering school, and the students all ask if they can do a Web page instead of a paper.
Q: Now I'm scared.
PS: Nobody's job is safe. Everybody is going to have a succession of professions, and the jobs today will go away. The pure specialist will end up going the way of the buggy-whip maker.
In 2011, Harvard Business School gave its entering MBA students $3,000 each in seed money to start a company. It's not a bad idea to try the same thing yourself. That's because the decisions you have to make to open a business are the same no matter how big that business is—and starting one on a small scale is a great way to practice before your livelihood depends on it.
If you've never considered entrepreneurship, you may still find that it has a place in your career, especially in your later years, when getting hired is more difficult. "Not everybody is cut out for this," says Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, vice president of the Apollo Research Institute. "But because of the Internet, it's easier now to be an entrepreneur than it was in the past." In fact, women are starting about 550 businesses a day, according to the most recent State of Women-Owned Businesses Report. "In your forties or fifties, it used to be that you were planning retirement," Wilen-Daugenti says. "Today you need to plan your encore career. Entrepreneurship is just another option."

Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male's breast tissue enlarges. Gynecomastia literally means "woman breast." This increase in tissue usually occurs at times when the male is having hormonal changes, such as during infancy, adolescence, and old age.
This is usually a benign (non-cancerous) condition that may be caused by many different hormonal changes, or the cause may be unknown. The changes in hormones usually include an increase in estrogens or a decrease in androgens (testosterone). Sometimes, this condition may be associated with other diseases that must be ruled out in order to make a diagnosis. In some conditions, including breast cancer, liver diseases, lung cancer, testicular cancer, tumors of the adrenal glands or pituitary gland, drug use, certain congenital (present at birth) syndromes, or thyroid disorders or trauma, gynecomastia presents itself as a symptom. However, this is not true in all cases.
Consider the following statistics regarding gynecomastia:
Gynecomastia is an increase in breast tissue. There are different classifications of the grades of gynecomastia. One such classification is as follows:
The symptoms of gynecomastia may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for gynecomastia may include the following:
Specific treatment for gynecomastia will be determined by your physician based on:
Surgery may be an option to help remove the excess tissue. Often, if symptoms of gynecomastia are first apparent during puberty, you may be advised to wait as long as two years to allow for natural regression of the breast tissue. Your surgeon will help decide if you are a candidate for surgery.
The type of anesthesia used will depend on many factors, including your preference, the surgeon, the extent of the growth, your age, and the size of the incision. Either local or general anesthesia may be utilized. The surgeon often will make marks on the skin before surgery to indicate the areas to be removed.
There are different types of surgical procedures that may be utilized, including the following:

Student Life
SIS Expands Undergraduate Research Opportunities
While research has been an integral part of SIS for over 15 years, 2012 – 2013 has seen a spike in activities highlighting undergraduate work.
Professor Aaron Boesenecker has coordinated the undergraduate research initiatives since 2011, working with students on the annual undergraduate research symposium and, escorting SIS undergraduates to the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), which in 2013 was held at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse.
But with the recent changes in the undergraduate curriculum, particularly the addition of a second course to complement the introductory course in international studies research, "one of our key aims this year was to expand the breadth and the depth of undergraduate research in the overall SIS undergraduate experience," in addition to the symposium and conference opportunities, Boesenecker said.
Two of those initiatives have been a student/faculty/alumni roundtable on undergraduate research, and the first annual International Affairs Undergraduate Research Conference.
"We announced at the conference SIS's launch of a new global international affairs undergraduate research journal – International Affairs Quarterly, open to undergraduates from AU's campus and beyond," Boesenecker said. "This is a first-of-its-kind venture, as there is not currently a peer-reviewed and professionally-edited journal for undergraduate research on international affairs."
SIS's Canyon Bosler, SIS/BA '13, was one of 20 undergraduate students from George Washington, Georgetown and American Universities participating in the D.C.-area conference, and was honored for his work there and at the SIS Undergraduate Research Symposium. He also was one of six SIS students to attend NCUR, presenting on "Access to Credit and Migration: Complements or Substitutes?"
"Research skills are by far the most useful and marketable skills I have developed while in college," Bosler said. "Knowing how to find the answer to a question is much more important than knowing a set of facts, theories, or models."
Bosler has worked at the Securities and Exchange Commission throughout his senior year and in the fall will begin a fellowship in the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He attributes attaining these positions to his research skills, which he found are often a higher priority for employers than specific knowledge about a region or topic.
"Being a good researcher, particularly with quantitative methods, makes you very sought-after and gives you access to a wide range of possible careers."

Track & Field Concludes Day One and Two at HL Championships
May 3, 2014
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO - After a two-hour rain delay on Saturday morning, the Flames finished the second day of competition with the men's team in fourth-place earning 33 points and women's squad in fifth-place with 17 points.
"We got off to a great start on the 2nd day, as Matt Marzahl turned in a remarkable performance in the Decathlon," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "He has been injured for the past four weeks, yet managed to put together impressive marks for the second-place finish."
Senior Matt Marzahl took home second-place and teammate Mick Graham secured sixth-place overall in the Decathlon.
Marzahl placed first in the men's discus throw with a recorded mark of 37.13 meters, beating his nearest opponent by nearly five meters.
Freshman Pawel Klimek competed in the men's pole vault competition placing second, with a mark of 4.42 meters.
"Pawel showed his mettle in the face of wind and rain to put together two personal records, he is a very tough competitor and I'm very proud of his finish," said Knoedel.
Teammates Jordan Banks and Seyi Ogunleye competed in the long jump, earning second and third-place, with marks of 6.64 and 6.63, respectively.
On the women's side, Rebecca Zaiter dominated in the 800-meter run, crossing the finish line in 2:16.76 to capture second-place
In the field, junior LaTreesha Washington competed in the pole vault, recording a mark of 3.3 meters, and securing third-place.
Day 1 Recap:
The UIC's track & field teams ended day one at the 2014 Outdoor Horizon League Championships, with the women's squad in fourth-place earning 9 points.
Junior Tess Ehrhardt secured second-place in the 10,000-meter run, crossing the finish line with a time of 35:40.00.
"Tess broke another school record with her second-place finish in the 10,000-meter run," said Knoedel. "An amazing finish considering it was her first time running the event."
On the men's side, Senior Graham and Marzahl began competition in the men's Decathlon.
Graham took top honors in the 100-meter dash finishing in just 11.50 seconds. Graham also placed first in the long jump, with a mark of 5.99 meters.
Marzahl recorded a mark of 1.95 meters in the men's high jump, securing first place. He also participated in the shot put, taking second- place, throwing a distance of 11.28 meters.

Twitteer engineering head Jean-Paul Cozzatti posted a message on the mega-social-networking site (which gets, on average, 300k new users daily) Wednesday that some of the tech side is trading the 415 for the 801.
That means some of the IT guys will be packing up for the Beehive - the company plans to open a new data operations center in the SLC by year's end.
(Don't get too excited, if Twitter were a Post-War family, the move would be the equivalent of putting the backyard bomb shelter to the Beehive).
Cozzatti, on the company's tech blog said he's excited about the move for "several reasons."
Could this be one?
Or maybe this?
Or, how 'bout ...this?
And while the big stars will stay and play in SF, those hunkered down in a bunker monitoring the network's system configuration in the SLC will be treated to, you know, a building equipped with unique "power and cooling" systems (like our offices in Trolley Corners - cold in the winter, hot in the summer).
See you guys at Chow Truck.

Despite horrific air quality this winter in Utah that put protestors in front of the Capitol in gas masks, state lawmakers did zero to improve our quality of life. Nor will their inaction do anything to improve Utah's global notoriety after it racked up the Top Five Cities with the worst air in the America.
No surprise, of course. If you've lived longer than five minutes in Utah, you know that citizen protests, petitions, the pleas of 100 doctors in the name of babies and other air-breathing organisms and a series of Democratic-back bills add up to the kiss of death for legislation as far as the majority is concerned.
To be fair, they did pass SB275, which will build more natural-gas stations and convert government vehicles to burn natural gas—and generally extend the state's addiction to fossil-fuel transportation and highway building. Gov. Gary Herbert, who is basically a wholly owned subsidiary of the extraction industry, says SB275 is "a quantum leap forward" in cleaning the air. The Salt Lake Trib does a good job of explaining this madness here.
Considering, the Legislature convenes annually at the same time the capital's inversion hits its worst levels, they must be aware of the problem. In short, New Delhi and Beijing, watch your backs.

OK, so 80 isn't exactly the new 40, but if you want to feel great when you hit your ninth decade, you had best get moving now.
ABC News reports a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine finds working out and getting in good shape physically when you're in your forties can keep everything from cancer to brain conditions at bay.
"It has been known for decades that people who are more fit live longer, but what has been unclear is that people who are fit live better," lead researcher Dr. Jarett Berry tells the network.
And it's not as if you have to start training for a marathon or committing to Cross Fit classes five days a week.
"In general, we saw if you increased your fitness by 20 percent, you would decrease your disease burden by 20 percent," Berry tells ABC News. "… The benefit of fitness persists to the end of life."
Drop a few pounds, feel healthier and possibly avoid cancer? Can we carpool to the gym? Actually, we'll just go ahead and jog there.

Track & Field to Compete in Chicagoland Championships
Feb. 13, 2014
CHICAGO, Ill. - The men's and women's track & field teams will travel to Naperville, Ill., to participate in the two-day contest at the Chicagoland Championships. The meet is scheduled to begin on Friday, February 14 at 5:00 p.m. CT., and continue into Saturday, February 15.
Last weekend, juniors Tess Ehrhardt and Rebecca Zaiter participated in the Meyo Invitational both setting personal records in their designated events. Ehrhardt ran the 5,000-meter finishing with a school-record time of 17:09.90, whlie Zaiter competed in the 800-meter run crossing the finish line with a mark of 2:11.71.
"They both made huge gains over the weekend and it was easy to see how much more confident they are as a result," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "Rebecca ran the fastest 800 of her career and the season just got started, and Tess ran almost 30 seconds faster than she did to win the HL title in cross country last fall so she continues to improve her times."
In the 2013 Chicagoland Championships, the women's team took home sixth place, and were led by Zaiter who finished the 800-meter run in 2:19.20. Recording her best time in the same event last week, coach Knoedel is looking forward to competition this weekend.
"Our women should finish in the top three of the 18 schools and win a lot of events, maybe as many as seven, but our small squad size and the depth will make it a challenge to come home with the team title," said Knoedel.
On the men's side, in 2013 they captured fourth place and were led in field events by Seyi Ogunleye and Matt Marzahl. Ogunleye took home top honors in the triple jump with a mark of 14.92 meters. Marzahl participated in the decathlon and won first place among a total of nine competitors.
With only two meets left before the 2014 Indoor Horizon League Championship, coach Knoedel shared some insight on what he tells his teams as March 1 nears.
"The weather has been a challenge this winter but I always tell the team that champions find a way to get it done," explained Knoedel.
Be sure to check back to UICFlames.com for results and recap of the UIC's track & field team's performances at the Chicagoland Championships.

i think the sheet metal lower may be doable--has any one tried it?
The Armalite AR180, the original design, used a stamped steel upper & lower.Quote:
has any one tried it?
Also remember seeing someone (home builder) make an AR years ago that had three or four pieces of machined steel for the mag well & stock area but the sides were just flat steel pieces.
Yep; I remember seeing them made from layers like a sandwich, or padlock like
Let's just do a group buy on one of them there 3-D printers.. Heh....Heh
Oh.........The HUMANITY!!!!! Oh My!!
Why not a fresh sheet of design paper here and build a clone AR lower like an AK using .223 AK mags, AK FCG pieces, but an AR upper ??? Front trunion is just the hinge section and the rear trunion adapts the AR buttstock/recoil system. The lower uses AK trigger guard and mag catch and rivits to tie it all together.
VD in AZ
hell i was thinking a piece of steel tubing about the right size sort of flattened a little then cut out and weld in a mag block section and weld in a buffer tube. then cut out the part where the upper goes and add in a few supports and attachment points--LOL
there is probably a thousand ways to do this
those guys paying $175 for those 80% tp me that is just nutz-- hell we'll bring back the wooden AR-lower if things get that bad--LOL!
damn i hate i flunked wood work in school--LOL!
buy there are other ways to come up with a lower for a home build and the parts shortages/gouging should not hurt us builders as much as the mall-ninjas cause if they even have to turn a nut--they call a guru first--LOL
Let me know if anyone is up to the task, I think it could use a few modifications like modifying the mag catch / release to work with the standard unmodified AR15 magazine, of which one solution would be to move the mag/catch release to the left side of the mag well, (if you have ever seen the magazine for the rifle, it takes a standard AR mag with one little modification a small slot cut on the right side that serves as the hold for the mag catch).... Anyway it could be a very neat project.
yes over at homebuilder along time ago thats where I knew or know of coils
the lower receiver was made like the old M-1 carbine lowers these were steel plated brazed to gether and then drilled out
the build who did this was inovative he took a old concept and adapted it, for the rear he turned the plates side ways I am trying to remember if he brazed or bolted it together
it can be done it has been done
all one would have to do is band saw the outside profile, file and/or sand down the finish, leave out the internal plates for the fcg and mag well then braze it together, guess you could do the upper reciever as a tube with a rail tacked on top
Times like this I wish I was not so paranoid in my younger days. Yes, it can be done, I have done it.
Look at an AR Lower, imagine cutting it into three sections:
Trigger Group section, Magwell group Section, and Center support section.
Trigger Group Section: Obviously, this contains the FCG, provides a place at the rear to attach a sort of rear trunnion, which the buffer tube attaches to, and in the front, it attaches to the Center support section.
Center Support Section: This is the tricky one, it contains the mag release, and the Bolt Hold Open. The Trigger group section mates directly to the Center Support Section, and the Mag Well section lays over the top of the Trigger Group Section.
Mag Well Section: Obviously, This is the section that both holds the magazine, and the front pivot pin section. The rear of this section should overlay the front of the Trigger Group Section.
Once the needed machining is done to the Center Section, the three sections can be joined either by spot welding, or by drilling and riveting.
The trigger group section should have a slight rail fold on the top, just like an AK for stiffness.
The Rear pivot pin goes through the rear trunnion, which has a channel drilled from the top, then milled out to allow the upper receiver rear hole to rest inside. Ends up working just like a normal AR.
The front Pivot is milled out from bar stock, or bent and folded depending on how you want to retain the pin. If you are OK using c-clips to retain it, then just bend it out of sheet steel.
That is about it. I made two of these back in the late '90s. I had intended to make another that was modified to accept AK-74 mags, but just never got around to it.
I was surprised at just how forgiving it is to work with steel in this way. I used an Olympic Arms lower as a guide, measured a hundred times, and then cut.
Now, I did this the hard way. I wanted to make an AR class lower, that would cosmetically be equivalent to an standard AR. The lower ended up weighing almost 2 lbs. OUCH!
Take a lesson from the AR-180 design: Keep it simple, and do not care about the cosmetics.
Here is a link to pics that will help illustrate what I am talking about:
AR-180 - 5.56x45
You can all see that IF we were to create a lower receiver template, and SOMEONE created the stamping dies, it would be fairly simple to press these out, dimple them for the holes that need to be drilled, and sell them for a decent profit. Even if it was just a straight walled lower, it would not be difficult to produce the spacers and longer pins for the hammer, and trigger. The hardest part would be the selector, but it could be solved by adding a right side selector lever and screwing them together.....Just a thought.
If you look hard enough online you will find a guy who made a lower out of a plastic cutting board
Whats the overall size of the Ar180 upper and lower? Upper OD and ID?

Certified cheese expert Matt Caputo says:
Back in December I wrote about Caputo's Reserve Ossau Iraty. Not only are we sold out of Reserve Ossau, but none will be ready to release from the cheese cave until April. If you read my bit on Ossau, you know how I felt it was the best cheese in Caputo's. So, as you might imagine, we have had a lot of customers start hyperventilating when we tell them we are out. Some have even begged us to take a wheel out of the cave early. I guess having the window on the cheese cave can be cruel in situations like this.
Anyway, as the diehard Ossau customers are beginning to lose their cool, we have learned to quickly put a piece of Reserve Chabrin in their mouths. This immediately shuts them up. Cut to eyes rolling back and moans of delight. Antonia (our affineuse) has dialed the Reserve Chabrin to perfection. She and her assistant cheese agers, Jen and Karli, are taking our program to new heights and I dare someone to find a better execution of natural rind affinage in America.
For tasting notes see the Ossau article and replace sheep musk with a slight goat tang and notes of hay. Other than that, they are pretty similar.
If you are serious about cheese you must come try this. Don't wait though. While we are constantly releasing Basque cheeses from the cave, fine cheese is a dynamic thing and what is perfect today is gone tomorrow. By next week's post something else may have eclipsed the Reserve Chabrin. Or it will just run out. Trying to plan for today's demand 6 months ago is impossible to get exactly right and we would rather run out early than be forced to sell declining cheese.

ZF-3659: Section on 10.5.6. on deleting table rows unclear / incorrect
The manual section 10.5.6 describes deleting rows using the Zend_Db_Table component. The first paragraph underneath example 10.88 is repeated in the second paragraph. This paragraph mentions a second argument to Zend_Db_Table::delete(), but that method only takes one argument. It's the first argument that should be an array of SQL expressions.
Fixed with r12846 to refer to a single argument of variable type.

Bygram and gramps
13 abril 2016
Our recent stay at the Eagan Staybridge Suites was beyond our expectations. You are now our favorite hotel ever! We brought our 6 grandkids with us and every part of our stay was amazing. We loved the pool and had it to ourselves most every time we went. The temperature should be hotel industry standard. No more freezing as you inch yourself in or being shocked as you jump in. It was bathtub warm and delightful all the way around. Your staff greeted us warmly at all times even if just passing in the hallway and asked if there was anything they could help with or improve to make our stay great. The breakfast was the best with plenty of normal to unique choices all at perfect temperature. We loved our suite and the attention to detail. We are definitely coming back on a regular basis. This is a hotel stay you don't want to pass up.
Spacious and clean motel

Big Day Brings the Birds
Last year our WBU Big Day Birdathon adventure was; well, we'll say it was interesting. Don't get me wrong. We had a fun time; but, we only hit 119 species because we kept running into flooded roads. Read all about last year's adventure and see a self-explanatory picture clicking here.
But! This year was loads of fun. It also helps when you get really close to your goal because of better preparation and the birds and weather cooperate. All said and done, we wanted 150 species and we ended up with 143.
Here are some of the highlights for me:
? In the field by 3am birding in the dark: Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, Whip-poor-will, Chuck-will's-widow, Common Nighthawk just to name a few.
? 90 species before 9 am
? 22 warblers in total
? Not one, but two Pacific Loons
? 19 Greater White-fronted Geese
? #120…the bird that took us over the top of last year's final number … Blue Grosbeak. It was a special moment as we all just stopped and quietly watched the bird for a moment to honor beating last year's total.
Overall, we were 18 hours in the field, 143 species and five tired guys. I can't wait to do it again next year!

Valley Forge FAQs
Personal flag of George Washington
Q.Looking for information on the personal flag of George Washington, the one with thirteen six-pointed stars.
Anonymous, Ohio
A.There is ongoing research being made about Washington's Commander in Chief Standard/Flag. It most likely dates back to 1775. Because it was Washington's personal flag, it was with him wherever he went — saw the same action as he did. A painting by William Mercer (Battle of Princeton) shows a large blue standard with a linear arrangement of stars. A Peale painting of George Washington shows a blue canton with stars, only in a circular formation. The circular formation of stars on blue is also a device used in the Washington Life Guard Standard.
It is interesting to note that an unsigned and undated item found in the papers of General Anthony Wayne is a proposed design for the Seal of the Board of War and Ordance. It includes cannon, cannonballs, muskets, and Washington's Standard.
The standard is not large enough — or proportionate — to be an infantry regimental standard. It's rectangular shape and larger size do not really make it a canton either.
The original is in our collection, coming to us through Washington's family. As with all our artifacts, the research is ongoing.
The description of the "Commander-in-Chief Standard" is as follows: The field is a single width of faded blue silk about 27-1/2 by 35-1/2 inches. There are thirteen, large, six pointed stars with elongated rays. They are in a 3 2 3 2 3 pattern in layout. The stars are not clocked precisely the same; some are rotated from an exact vertical. The six pointed stars are "patterned" after English heraldic language. The flag itself was donated to the Valley Forge Historical Society from a descendant of George Washington. Two paintings, supervised by eyewitnesses, show the flag:
- "The Battle of Princeton" by William Mercer
- "Surrender of Yorktown" by Van Blarenberghe

A story is told about two little kids who are playing together in a sandbox with their pails and shovels. Suddenly a huge fight breaks out and one of the runs away screaming, "I hate you! I hate you!" In no time at all they're back in the sandbox playing together happily again.
Two adults observe the interaction from a nearby bench. "Did you see that?" one comments in admiration. "How do children do that? They were enemies five minutes ago.
It's simple the other replies. They choose happiness over righteousness.
Grownups rarely make such a choice. Married folks have a terrible time stepping aside from anger, bitterness, and hurt. We know that life is short but damn it, we're not betting back in that sandbox until the other person agrees to having started it and admits to being wrong.
A great deal of suffering could be avoided if we could be more like those kids. Of course married life is not always so simple as the sandbox story. We need both to lighten up and to have a strong voice when the situation calls for it. Here's what the challenge requires.
1. Get More Bite Marks on Your Tongue
Dial down the criticism. Many people value criticism in courtship stage of relationship, but become allergic to it over time. Remember that no one can survive in a marriage (at least not happily) if they feel more judged than admired.
2. Respect Differences
One of my favorite cartoons, drawn by my friend Jennifer Berman, shows a dog and a cat in bed together.
The dog is looking morose and reading a book called "Dogs Who Love Too Much."
The Cat is saying, "I'm not distancing! I'm a cat, darn it!"
Lighten up about differences. We all view reality through different filters depending on our class, culture, gender, birth order, genetic makeup, and unique family history. A good marriage requires us to stay emotionally connected to a partner who thinks, feels, and believes differently, without needing to change him or fix him up.
3 Apologize and repair disconnections
You can say, "I'm sorry for my part of the problem" even if you're secretly convinced that you're only 14% to blame. Marriage goes best when at least one person can apologize or find some other way to cut right through the nonproductive "whodunit" or "who started it" mentality. We know that the failure to initiate repair attempts—or the failure to respond to a partner's attempt to offer the olive branch and move forward—is a flashing red light in marriage.
4. Warm your Partner's Heart
During the courtship stage (or "Velcro Stage," as I call it) of relationships we automatically focus on the positive and make our partner feel valued and chosen. The longer people are married, the more this "selective attention" flips. Now we automatically pay attention to what we are critical about and that is what we notice and speak to. ("Why are you putting so much water in the pot for the pasta?" Don't you know that's the wrong knife to cut a tomato"). We automatically fail to notice and comment on the positive. Be intentional about making positive comments ("I loved the way you used humor to deal with your brother on the phone tonight.") even if you're feeling angry and resentful. Your partner won't make use of your constructive criticism if there's not a surrounding climate of love and respect.
5. Practice Pure Listening
Loweryour defensiveness and truly listen. Listening is the greatest spiritual gift you can give your partner. Practice listening without interrupting, offering advice, defending your position, or correcting distortions and exaggerations. Listen only to understand. Save your defense for a future conversation.
6. Focus on your self, not your partner
When people come to see me for marital therapy they are secretly hoping that I will fix or change their partner. But change will not happen until at least one person takes his or her blaming or worried focused off their spouse and puts it back on himself or herself. Self-focus means we put our energy into observing, clarifying, and changing our own part in relationship patterns rather than trying to change, control, interpret, diagnose, or criticize the other party.
7. Know Your Bottom Line
Take a clear position on things that matter. Define the limits of what is acceptable and tolerable to you in your marriage. Don't sacrifice your core values and beliefs under relationship pressures. If you have an "anything goes" policy, your marriage—and sense of self-worth—will spiral downward. Real change in marriage is usually a slow and bumpy process that takes patience and time. Don't try to change too much too fast, or nothing will change at all. Remember that it's the direction you move in over time—not the speed of travel. May you—and your marriage—truly flourish.

Good v. Bad Cholesterol
Dr. Nathan Laufer is a board-certified cardiologist on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: What is cholesterol and why should I care if my physician tells me to watch my cholesterol?
Answer: High cholesterol puts you at risk for a number of health related illnesses, most commonly heart disease and strokes. According to the American Heart Association, 105 million Americans have a total cholesterol of 200 mg/dL* or higher—a level at which cardiovascular risk begins to occur.
So what is cholesterol? Cholesterol is, in fact, a natural product of the liver. Most healthy bodies make enough cholesterol on their own to cover the body's needs—such as nerve insulation, the creation of cell membranes or the production of certain hormones. However, you also ingest cholesterol when you eat fatty foods, egg yolks, liver, and meat. Depending on your diet, it could be too much for your body to handle. There are two types of cholesterol—good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL).
Excess bad cholesterol (LDL) could increase the risk of plaque formation (cholesterol buildup) in your arteries. The buildup blocks the blood carrying oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer chest pains or, in some cases, mild heart attacks.
Additionally, if you have cholesterol build up that breaks apart and travels down the arteries, an artery could be completely blocked, leading to a serious heart attack. The American Heart Association recommends that your LDL be less than 100 mg/dL. If you already are diagnosed with heart disease, the LDL should be less than 80 mg/dL. This number can be altered through diet and exercise. Talk to your physician today about decreasing your LDL numbers.
Yet, in the body, for everything bad there is something good. HDL (good) cholesterol protects against heart disease by "soaking up" excess cholesterol and returning it to the liver for disposal. So for HDL, higher numbers are better. The American Heart Association recommends your HDL be greater than 40
Your total cholesterol levels can be determined through a "lipoprotein profile"—a test that can be done by most primary care physicians or your cardiologist. The best way to control your cholesterol is to get a cholesterol screening, eat foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol, maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly and follow all your health care professional's recommendations.
*Cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dL) of blood.
