Posted Apr 21 2011 10:07AM
PHILADELPHIA -- Their time will come. Their chance to shine, sharpen their skills, earn big money, push for All-Star teams and restore pride in the Sixers isn't far in the distance. Even the notoriously fickle Philly fans are willing to wait.
We're talking about Lou Williams, Thad Young and Evan Turner. The kids. The Broad Street Babies. But it wasn't too long ago when this conversation was about Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala. And how's that turning out?
The Sixers are in an 0-2 crater in their series with the Heat not entirely because the games go well past the bedtime of half the roster, but because the once-future of the team now seems so passé. This is supposed to be when Brand and Iggy lead by example, show the way and carry their weight as well as they do their paychecks. So why does it feel like they are weighing the Sixers down?
You could confine their highlight in this series to the first quarter of Game 1, when Brand had his jumper working. There's been little-to-nothing since then, only grim evidence of a major investment gone sour.
Brand scored three points in Game 2, his only basket courtesy of a goaltending call. He hardly looked like the player who once carried the Clippers into the West semifinals.
Iguodala has 10 points in the series. Remember when he averaged almost 20 ppg three seasons ago? It's quite disheartening for the Sixers when their two best -- and most veteran -- players are looking lost in the playoffs, when your best and most veteran players are supposed to show up.
"We definitely need 'Dre and E.B. to get their average," said Sixers coach Doug Collins. "We need 30 points out of those guys because our bench has been good."
The Sixers are leaning on two players designated as the franchise's foundation in the post-Allen Iverson era. Here's the difference, though: Iverson, for all the trouble he caused, at least took the Sixers to the 2001 NBA Finals. Iguodala and Brand are still trying to win a playoff game together.
After trading Iverson in 2006, the Sixers embarked on an ambitious facelift and identity change. Gone was a rebellious, high-reward/high-maintenance superstar, and it was replaced by a team built on balance. By 2008, the Sixers had taken the favored Pistons to six games in the first round and anxiously awaited the future with open arms and wallets.
However, Iguodala became devalued almost before the ink dried on his six-year, $80 million deal. Big contracts then were the rage; a year earlier, Rashard Lewis signed with Orlando for $118 million, and he lacked the same all-around skills. So the Sixers figured they were getting a bargain. How could they not? Iguodala averaged 19.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 4.8 apg in 2007-08, numbers that were nearly equaled the next season. Plus, his defense was respectable.
The Sixers lured Brand from Clipperland with a five-year, $80 million deal and almost overnight, both forward positions seemed secure for years. Even though Brand was coming off Achilles surgery, his career numbers (20.3 ppg and 10.2 rpg) and his age (29) were positives.
"I won't let anybody down," Brand said at the time.
He then dislocated his shoulder one month into his first season in Philly, needed surgery, then had philosophical differences with then-coach Eddie Jordan. Brand has responded much better to Collins and finished the season strong, averaging 18.4 ppg in the final month. But he's being badly outplayed by Chris Bosh, a player who gets far more grief from the basketball public than Brand.
Interestingly, the Sixers have tried numerous times to trade Iguodala, whose production is declining, in order to free up time for younger players. Meanwhile, they can't get anything for Brand unless it's an equally bad contract. With Brand signed for two more years and Iguodala for three, the Sixers are stuck with players in decline as they awkwardly transition to youngsters on the rise.
It's too bad for Iguodala, saddled with the thankless job of guarding both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade this series. Same for Brand, a solid citizen who carries much respect in the locker room. Mostly, it's too bad for the Sixers, who spent good money on the right players, only to see things go so wrong with them here in the playoffs.
"We all have to do a better job," said Iguodala, and he's correct; it will take a collective effort to send this series back to Miami.
But for a team too young to know anything about winning in April, two players in particular must show the Sixers how to grow up.

Fry Wise
Work smarter, not harder, and save money with these energy-smart solutions.
Reduce idle time.
Commercial fryers spend at least 75% of the day on idle. Cutting out four hours of idle time each day could save about $250 annually for a gas fryer and about $350 for an electric fryer.
Check and adjust thermostats.
Check the temperature of the cooking oil with a reliable commercial thermometerCategory2016. Over time, fryer thermostats can become inaccurate.
Create a start-up/shut-down schedule.
Pay close attention to when your restaurant equipment is turned on and off. Then work on creating a start-up/shut-down schedule that you can post with staff assignments.
Turn off back-up fryers during slow times.
If fryers spend a significant time idling, energy efficiency goes out the window. Invest in automatic shut-off technology or make sure to manually shut off fryers when they are not in use.
Don't load beyond the recommended capacity.
With high-volume commercial fryers, the temptation is to overload them with product. In reality, this only prolongs the cooking time.
Check oil temperature.
The oil should be between 325-350º F. If you get it too hot, it can damage the fryer.
Fryer Maintenance: It's Elemental
To keep your equipment performing efficiently and with the least amount of energy, establish a regular maintenance plan with these maitain and save tips.
Check the temperature of the oil.
Most fryers now have reliable built-in temperature gauges. To be on the safe side, use a thermometer to check that your thermostat is functioning properly. There are several reasons why your machine may not be able to hold the correct temperature, but the result is always the same: a loss of energy dollars.
Clean the heating element.
A clean heating element is vital for keeping your commercial fryer running smoothly and at the proper temperature. It also ensures that heat transfers effectively to food and not to grease particles.
Regularly degrease the unit.
Grease build-up on your fryer's components will lead to inefficiency and possibly a premature break down of the unit.
Monitor recovery times.
If recovery times are growing longer, this is a sign that you need to replace your unit. Losing energy dollars to prolong its life is not cost-effective. In general, electric fryers have faster recovery times and better overall performance.
Finding Efficient Fryers
Saving energy dollars begins with choosing the right equipment. Learn which energy-smart features can save you the most money and help you to conserve electricity or gas with these shop smart & save energy dollars tips.
Look for the ENERGY STAR qualification when purchasing a new fryer. Fryers that earn the ENERGY STAR have a minimum cooking efficiency of 50% for gas and 80% for electric. You can even save up to $600 a year on utility bills.
Consider turbo technology.
Also known as fan-assisted burner technology, this feature is designed to boost energy efficiency by as much as 55%.
Check out improved filtration systems.
Some of the newest machines have automatic filtration systems which can use the same fryer oil for up to 27 days. An improvement like this can save a bundle in oil costs.
Automatic energy-saving mode.
Some models offer improved electronic controls that can put a fryer into idle (250º F) after a specific period of inactivity. Such features can be very useful for reducing energy consumption, especially in a busy commercial kitchen with no one to manually turn the machine off.
Go for the fastest recovery time.
Make sure your new energy-efficient fryer has a fast recovery time. Some may not, and you should not have to sacrifice performance for energy efficiency. Look specifically for electric fryers which recover faster than gas ones.
Get insulation.
Insulation around the frypot can diminish stand-by losses by up to 25%. This is mostly available to high-end electric fryers, but the savings may be worth the initial cost.
Look for improved data technology.
The latest technology allows you to connect your fryer to a PC for monitoring purposes, or to control cooking from a central location. Being able to pinpoint an underperforming fryer is just one of the benefits of this technology.
Check for rebates.
Many types of energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment have rebates available from utility companies. It pays to check with your local utility provider since rebates can cut a significant portion off your initial cost.

Lung Cancer
Lung Cancer Overview
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), it is estimated that 224,210 new cases of lung cancer occurred in 2014. Lung cancer accounts for about 13 percent of all new cancers. Those most at risk are older adults over the age of 50, and people who have a history of cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking. According to the American Lung Association, 82 percent of those living with lung cancer in 2012 were 60 years of age or older. While tobacco smoke is the leading cause, people who have never smoked can develop lung cancer. This can be due to past lung infections, environmental factors, and genetic makeup.
Lung cancer symptoms do not usually present themselves until the cancer is advanced. This is why lung cancer often goes undetected in the early stages. Lung cancer symptoms include:
- persistent cough
- coughing up blood
- chest pain
- recurring chest infections
- voice hoarseness
What Is Lung Cancer?
Cancer occurs when cells in the body undergo a mutation that causes them to grow rapidly and uncontrollably. Lung cancer forms when cancer cells invade and destroy healthy cells in the lung tissues and air passages. It can take several years to develop. It may begin as pre-cancerous changes in the lungs that neither cause symptoms nor show up on an X-ray.
Eventually cancer cells accumulate to form a tumor. As the tumor grows, it impedes the ability of the lungs to function properly. Cancerous cells can break away from the original tumor, travel through the bloodstream, and form tumors in other parts of the body. This process is called metastasis.
Types of Lung Cancer
There are two main types of lung cancer. They are small cell and non-small cell. The names refer to how the cells appear to pathologists under a microscope. Each type and stage of lung cancer warrants unique treatment options.
Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
Lung cancer, the most common cancer for both men and women, is difficult to detect in the early stages. Most lung cancers occur in adults over 50 who have smoked cigarettes, cigars, or pipes for many years. Quitting smoking, even if you have smoked for a long time, lowers your lung cancer risk.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
According to the National Institutes of Health, non-small cell lung cancer makes up about 85 percent of all lung cancer cases in the United States. The cancer cells are larger, and the cancer is slower growing than small cell lung cancer. NSCLC consists of three subtypes:
- Squamous cell carcinoma (or epidermoid carcinoma) accounts for 25 to 30 percent of all lung cancer. It begins in the cells that line the air passages. If not treated it may spread to the lymph nodes, bones, adrenal glands, liver, and brain. It's the most common type of lung cancer in men and is heavily linked to smoking.
- Adenocarcinoma makes up about 40 percent of all lung cancer. It forms in the mucus-producing (outer) part of the lungs. It develops slowly and is the most common type of lung cancer in women and nonsmokers.
- Large-cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma includes all non-small cell lung cancer that can't be classified as squamous or adenocarcinoma (about 10 to 15 percent). It sometimes forms near the surface, in the outer edges of the lungs, and grows rapidly.
Long-Term Outlook
According to the American Lung Association, the lung cancer five-year survival rate is lower than many other leading cancers. Over half of people with lung cancer die within a year of their diagnosis.
These statistics often don't reveal how many of those are still in treatment at the five-year mark as opposed to those who have reached remission (no sign of cancer). Your personal prognosis will be based on a great many factors. These include:
- type and stage of cancer
- age at onset
- overall health
- lifestyle
- the success of your treatments
Your overall emotional health can also impact your prognosis. Build a strong support system for yourself and gather as much information about your condition as you can.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
The Automation Partnership's (TAP) CompacT SelecT automated cell culture system will be used by the CDC to improve the culturing of vital cell lines to be used in public health disease-prevention activities. Researchers at the CDC are currently validating TAP's system for the culture of MDCK cells that are used for growing influenza viruses. In the future, they plan to validate the system to grow Vero E6 cell lines for use in generating other viruses.
The CompacT SelecT is an automated cell culture and assay-ready plating system designed to meet the needs of medium-throughput laboratories. It has the capabilities of TAP's established SelecT cell culture system but with a lower capacity and smaller footprint. The system grows cells from multiple cell lines in T-flasks for cell-line maintenance and expansion. It can generate assay-ready plates on demand for cell-based screening and assay development.
"The CDC's use of CompacT SelecT will enhance productivity and help eliminate contamination risk, which will improve the reliability and consistency of cells," says Tim Ward, director of cell culture at TAP. "Those receiving cells from the CDC will benefit by having greater confidence that they are using optimum quality cells for applications such as vaccine research and production."
Increased demand for MDCK cell lines during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic prompted CDC to decide to move to an automated system to preserve staff resources and decrease the risk of laboratory contamination. The use of stable cell lines as substrates has attracted the attention of vaccine developers. According to published reports, the influenza virus isolated from MDCK culture retains the antigenic properties of epidemiological strain, whereas viruses adapted to chick embryos do not.

WASHINGTON - Two prominent politicians who will have a significant say in whether the Expos move to the nation's capital plan to meet Monday to try to save the suddenly wobbly deal.
Mayor Anthony Williams will meet with Linda Cropp, chair of the District of Columbia Council, who earlier this week introduced an amendment that could endanger the move.
The proposed move hinges on the city having a stadium financing package acceptable to major league baseball in place by Dec. 31. Cropp's amendment to the mayor's stadium financing plan requires that at least half the stadium funding come from a private source. The amendment was approved late Tuesday night.
Major League Baseball, calling the amendment "wholly unacceptable," responded to the adoption of Cropp's provision by shutting down the team's business and promotional operations.
Williams and Cropp will meet Monday at Cropp's request, her spokesman, Mark Johnson, confirmed Friday night. Cropp has asked for a meeting with major league officials "as soon as possible," Johnson said.
Cropp and Williams took to the airwaves Friday, appearing on several live radio talk shows.
"I'm willing to do anything to get a team here, within limits," Williams said on WAMU radio.
Cropp said she is not worried that the delay could tarnish the city's image as a place to do business.
"I take exception with people who say the district is doing anything unusual," Cropp said. "Debate, dialogue and lots of different opinions" are to be expected.
"I hope it's saying that the district won't just take anything,'' she said.
Several private financiers have pitched funding schemes that could pay for as much as the full cost of building the stadium, city officials said. Cropp said she is talking to a coalition of banks that would like to work with the city.
Washington businesses also weighed in, sending a letter to Williams, Cropp and baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
"We concur that partial private financing for the stadium would be optimal," William A. Hanbury wrote on behalf of the D.C. Business Coalition.

The question is as follows:
Here is a demonstration Pascal used to show the importance of a fluid's pressure on the fluid's depth : An oak barrel with a lid of area 0.25 m^2 is filled with water. Along, thin tube of cross-sectional area 5.0×10−5 m^2 is inserted into a hole at the center of the lid, and water is poured into the tube. When the water reaches 12m high, the barrel bursts. -- First, find the weight (N) of the water in the tube.
A) What was the pressure on the water on the lid of the barrel? (Pa)
B) What was the net force on the lid due to water pressure? (N)
I keep getting the wrong answers here and I'm not sure what's going wrong, so an explanation of how to work this problem out would be very appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Baidu to Build Southern China Office in International Push
Baidu Inc., China's biggest Internet company by market value, said it will set up a new center for international operations in southern China, stepping up efforts to add overseas users and revenue.
International expansion is an "important way" for Baidu to drive future growth, Chief Executive Officer Robin Li said today in Shenzhen, where the company is building a 220,000 square-meter complex to be opened in 2015. The facility will also accommodate the mobile Internet business, he said.
Baidu started services in Arabic and Thai last year as the Beijing-based company boosted plans to expand internationally after overcoming competition from Google Inc. to dominate in China's search-engine market. Chinese Internet rivals Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba.com Ltd. have also acquired online assets overseas.
The new Shenzhen office complex will be able to house 10,000 employees, Baidu spokesman Kaiser Kuo said by phone today. Baidu at present has about 15,000 employees, he said.
In May, Baidu said it's working on services in 12 foreign languages. The Chinese company, which started a Japanese service in 2008, rolled out products in Arabic and Thai in September.
Robin Li's wealth increased to $9.2 billion from $7.2 billion a year earlier, ranking him behind only Sany Heavy Industry Co. Chairman Liang Wengen among China's richest, according to Forbes Asia.

This was tasty but I felt the peanut butter layer was too plain. I would add some powdered sugar next time to change it from just PB to something with a little oomph. Very easy and enjoyed by all who tried it though. Thanks for sharing!
Easy and so delicious, this was enjoyed by my family over the weekend and i will make it again very soon, thank your for sharing this wonderful easy treat Sue!
Absolutely delicious! I made this 1st on Valentines Day and DH loved it so much I had to make it again already! I used sugar-free pudding and as I didn't have the instant, made the pudding, put it in the fridge to cool down, then made the pie. The 1st time I made as directed and the 2nd time I got a little creative and added a sliced ripe banana. Delicious however you make it! I also put a few peanut butter chips on the cool whip to finish the presentation. Thanks Sue! This is a peanut butter/chocolate lovers dream pie!!!! Made for Recipe Tag at KK's.

New Jersey Supreme Court Won't Hear Carl Lewis Election Case
The New Jersey Supreme Court won't hear Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis's bid to get his name on the ballot for a state senate election in which officials said he's not eligible to run.
The court's one-page order denying Lewis's request to review his constitutional claims follows a federal appeals court ruling temporarily allowing his name on the ballot for the June 7 primary election. The case now hinges on U.S. District Court Judge Noel Hillman, who must decide the constitutionality of the state's residency provision as it was applied to Lewis.
"The constitutional issue is now squarely before the district court, where a full factual record can and will be developed," William M. Tambussi, an attorney for Lewis, said today in an e-mailed statement. "The voters of the Eighth Legislative District retain the right to vote for the candidate of their choice."
Lewis, a 49-year-old Democrat, persuaded the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to stay an April 26 ruling by New Jersey's secretary of state that found him ineligible to run for office because he didn't meet a four-year residency requirement. The appeals court remanded the case to Hillman, who had initially upheld the decision by Secretary of State Kim Guadagno, a Republican who is also the lieutenant governor.
Moved to Texas
Lewis, who grew up in New Jersey before moving to Texas and California, is fighting to represent a district that has traditionally elected Republicans. Incumbent Dawn Marie Addiego, a Republican, was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Phil Haines, who was tapped for a judgeship.
The nine-time Olympic gold medalist argued that he bought a home in New Jersey in 2005, which made him a state resident. He got a state driver's license in 2006 and became a volunteer assistant track coach at Willingboro High School, his alma mater, in 2007. Guadagno said the record showed Lewis didn't buy his current home until Nov. 16, 2007, eight days after the cutoff.
The federal case is Lewis v. Guadagno, 1:11-cv-02381, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Camden).

Arsenal, finding a spark and much-needed self belief after
successive league defeats by title-chasing Manchester City
and Chelsea, ran riot with four goals in 12 mad minutes after
the break having fallen behind in the first half to Jack
Collison's goal.
Podolski, recalled after illness, quickly levelled with a
superb strike from 25 metres. Giroud's volley made it 2-1
soon after the restart before German international Podolski,
causing mayhem on the left flank, set up Santi Cazorla, Theo
Walcott and Giroud to leave shellshocked West Ham 5-1 down
before the hour.
West Ham were forced to play with 10 men for the final 18
minutes after substitute Daniel Potts was carried off on a
stretcher with a serious-looking leg injury following lengthy
treatment on the pitch.
Arsenal stay sixth but are now one point behind Everton and
four behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur after 23 games.
West Ham, with one league win in their last eight, remain

I am writing a web crawler that processes multiple URLs at the same time and works in the following way:
It gets a URL from a list of URLs included in seed_list.txt,
It crawls it and write the data into data.txt;
just like how most of web crawlers work.
When I make it single-threaded, I can get the data in data.txt in the same order with that of the URLs in seed_list.txt, but when it's multi-threaded, I don't seem able to control it, as each thread writes the data to data.txt once it is finished.
Is there a way I can make my web crawler multi-threaded but keep the original order?
Thank you very much!
@Lance, Ignacio, and Maksym,
thank you all for your help - your answers definitely point me in the right direction.

Works great for my Casio Mudman
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Actually used this for my Casio Mudman as a NATO strap adapter, so I can't really comment on how it's actually supposed to be used.
I will say that the included C-clips seem durable enough, however the velcro watch strap seems to be poorly constructed, ugly, and of low quality. But as a NATO strap adapter I'm sure it works great.
I bought this for my Suunto Vector and after reading some of the reviews about the strap being too small I called backcountry and talked to a rep (who was VERY helpful). He said that he would put a return sticker in the box in case it didn't fit and also gave me free 2 day delivery. When the strap arrived, I put it on the watch with no problem then put it on and it fits perfectly. Not too small at all...actually there is a lot more room. I would recommend this band to anyone looking to upgrade their rubber one.
Definite improvement over the standard strap
I sooo hated the strap that comes with Vector. I'd been looking locally for this strap for a year, finally found it on backcountry.com. Almost do not even notice my watch anymore because of this strap. If you have the vector, this is a must-have accessory.
Not worth it
Barely fits my wrist! Was thinking of using it as an attachment on my shoulder strap, but who wants to have to swap bands all the time? A waste of money for me, but may serve those with very small wrists.
Just doesn't fit
If you are thinking of replacing your plastic band on your Suunto Core - do not buy this one. The brackets do not fit the watch and the band is sized for a 7 year old. If you find one that does... let me know - still looking. Hate plastic bands when hiking.
Measure your wrist first.
I thought other reviews were exaggerating how small this strap is, but they were not. At its loosest point this strap is about 7" in circumference. That leaves it just enough length to barely attach the Velcro ends. I am currently wearing it on a Suunto X-Lander. I would much rather use the original strap, but it broke after a couple years of wear. I would not substitute an original strap for this one if I did not have to.
Velcro Strap - Too short
The functionality of the velcro strap is fine - as long as one has very small wrists. Otherwise the length of strap provided make kthe band fit very tightly - to the point of discomfort.
The could be solved by simply adding another inch or so of the "fuzzy" velcro to the strap.
The band works find - just very uncomfortable for those of us with average to larger size wrists.
Great fit
I always wanted to get a strap that fit better than the stock one. This one is great, good construction and sturdy. The only downfall is that its a bit stiff when new. Gonna have to wear it a while and loosen up the velcro.
does not solve the problem
The standard Vector strap is too short to wear the watch over the parka sleeve, so I expected the velcro version would allow more room. In reality velcro strap is the same size as the standard plastic one. It's more comfortable, but it does not let me wear the tool where I can see it without digging thru layers of clothes! And given that Vector is a quite bit bulkier than my previous altimeter, wearing it under the layers is prominently uncomfortable.
Nice Upgrade
Nice upgrade to the plastic band. More comfortable & infinite adjustment. The plastic band used to make me sweat a lot.
Just Fine
This band is comfortable and light weight. It was easy to put on the watch, however the kit doesn't come with pins and we had lost ours so we used paper clips instead, and it still worked just fine... Good band over all...
Watch Band
It was a replacement when I needed one in a bad way. The lugs are great - the hook and loop closure - I am getting used to. Big change from the original band. Would be interested in the original's replacement... Old habits in all.
2 similar problems
I ordered this Suunto watchband to replace one that was sewn incorrectly. Now, after a month, this band is starting to come apart. When you own a high quality expensive watch, you would expect that the watchband would have the same quality.
Nylon band for Sunnto
Looks great on my Vector. I got a yellow band to match yellow watch. I have smaller hands for a guy, so the band slips over my hand without having to pull the strap completely out of one side of watch. It is kind of hard to thread the band back through retaining clip, but I only had to do that once(when I first installed band). It is more comfortable than the rubber band as it has infinite adjustment. It washes clean in the sink with mild soap.
So-So replacement band
It's alright. Better than the stock band which has a tendency to come loose and the strap stick out - drives me nuts. It is pretty comfortable, but not as comfy as the elastic band I have now. I like the color options you have w/ the VELCRO, but they are maybe even narrower than the stock band? Big watch looks funny with thin band. If you can't decide between VELCRO and elastic - get the elastic.
Suunto Watch Band
It is better than the rubber watchbands that come with the Suunto. Also, the fabric of the band does not itch during normal wear or during exercise when sweating. Finally, the green design band matches the green face of my Vector watch and gives it a slightly more dressy appearance. I recommend this band to anyone looking for an improvement over the Vector default watchband.
Suunto Watch Band Replacement
The Suunto replacement watch band is a definite improvement over the bulky "rubber band" that came with my wrist altimeter and computer. The hook and loop closure (felt) on the replacement band could be about an inch longer so the band would be more secure on my wrist. My wrist isn't abnormally large and it seems this band was designed for children or people with small wrists. That being said, it also took about a week to break in the band so the edges of the nylon no longer chafed the top of my wrist just below the watch.
I wish it fit my watch...
I got this watch band to go with my X6 HRM. The website listed several watches with which the band was incompatible. It didn't include the X6 HRM...so I ordered this band. Unfortunately, I got the band and quickly noticed it would not work. My recommendation to X6 users is to get an EK USA VELCRO® band instead.
no comment
everything was fine
Light and easy
I have had a Suunto for many years and only recently discovered this strap. The stock plastic strap always kinda bugged me - not sure why. I think it was the fact it was way too long and I could never get the fit right. Always too loose or too tight. I like this strap much better. It's lighter (for all you fanatical ounce counters) and it adjusts much easier. Therefore, making it much more comfy. As any climber knows, your wrist changes size with altitude and this strap is so much easier to adjust for that. And although I haven't needed to, if it got caught during a climb, you can simply rip it off. If you use your Suunto as much as I use mine - this is a very good investment. You won't regret it.

Magnet Summaries
The Magnet Summary (Buehl, 1993) is a strategy that helps students rise above the details and construct meaningful summaries in their own words. Magnet Summaries involve the identification of key terms or concepts - magnet words - from a reading, which students use to organize important information into a summary.
- To summarize, a reader must identify the most important ideas and omit details of lesser significance. An effective summary also includes paraphrasing--reinterpreting what was read in the reader's own words. As a prelude to summarizing, ask students to retell what they have read. To help students focus during retellings, emphasize that all important elements or ideas need to be included, and that "smaller" details can be left out. When they are done, their retelling should make sense to the listener. Students may also splice in personal commentary and reflections, so that their summaries begin to incorporate other aspects of synthesis. (Paired Reviews can be an excellent classroom vehicle to retellings.) Have partners take turns retelling what they have been reading (or watching in a video or listening to during a classroom presentation). Oral paraphrasing practice can help students become comfortable with composing written summaries.
- Introduce the idea of magnet words to students by inquiring what effect a magnet has on certain metals. Just as magnets attract those metals, magnet words attract information. To illustrate, ask students to read a short portion of their text assignment, looking for a key term or concept to which the details in the passage seem to connect. After students finish reading, solicit from the possible magnet words, commenting that these "attract" information in the passage. Note that magnet words frequently appear in titles, headings, or may be highlighted in bold or italic print, but caution students that not all words in bold or italic are necessarily magnet words. Write the magnet word on the chalkboard or overhead. Ask students to recall important details from the passage that are connected to the magnet word. As you write these details around the magnet word, have students follow the same procedure on an index card. Allow them a second look at the passage so they can include any important details they might have missed. Ninth-grade students studying a U.S. history section on the westward movement of settlers may decide on the magnet word Homestead Act. Key details surrounding this concept might include 160 acres, and farm for 5 years.
- Ask students to complete the reading of the entire passage. Distribute three or four additional index cards to each student for recording magnet words from the remaining material. In cooperative groups, have students decide on the best magnet words for the remaining cards. Have them generate the important details for each magnet word. When the groups are finished, each student will have four or five cards, each with a magnet word and key related information.
- Model for students how the information on one card can be organized and combined into a sentence that sums up the passage of text. The magnet word should occupy a central place in the sentence. Omit any unimportant details from the sentence. Have students return to their cooperative groups to construct sentences that summarize each of the remaining cards. Urge students to combine information into one sentence, although it may be necessary to construct two sentences for a particular card. They may decide to omit some details if they judge them to be of secondary importance. Have students write their sentences on scratch paper first. Then instruct them to put the final version of each sentence on the back of the appropriate card and underline the magnet words. For example, the card for the Homestead Act might be summarized as follows: Many people went west because of the Homestead Act, which gave 160 acres to people if they farmed them for 5 years.
- Direct students to arrange the sentences in the order they wish their summary to read. At this point, the sentences will need to be altered to flow smoothly from one to another. Model inserting connectives and other language that integrates the sentences into a summary. At this point students should also judge whether all the important ideas have been included, and whether anything further can be detected. Students can then test their summaries by listening to how they sound when they are read aloud. The following example is a Magnet Summary for a history passage on life in the Great Plains in the 1880's:
Magnet Summaries for History Example
- Students learn to prioritize what they need to remember, and develop facility in separating main ideas from supporting details.
- Students flesh out their understandings of key vocabulary and ideas.
- Students gain practice in reducing texts to their most essential elements, allowing them to reflect on their personal understandings of what a text means.

This post was featured as a guest post at The Kitchn today, and I figured I'd repost it here for those of you who didn't already see it. It's funny that when I look back on life, from the cupcakes I'd bring into school for birthdays to the ice cream my family ate on that summer vacation to the time where my parents and my brother ate lobster while wearing giant plastic bibs, I often seen things in terms of food. Like Christmas. When I was growing up, the month of December meant tins of all kinds of cookies and fudge lined up along my grandma's creaky staircase, gifts she planned to take to every friend and relative, with at least one container of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies planned especially for me. I baked cookies covered with red and green sprinkles, eaten while I was watching It's a Wonderful Life or a made-for-TV movie about a girl who wants a mom for Christmas. My mom baked cookies rolled in powdered sugar or kolachkys with apricot and raspberry jelly in the centers. We … [Read more...]
nice to come home to
Well, it's official: snow has come to Chicagoland. We haven't been hit the hardest (not like Madison or Southern Utah or, gosh, poor Minneapolis), and we're starting much later than usual (remember last year's October snowfall?), but we have begun what will probably be a months-long relationship with icy roads and longer commutes, one every Chicagoan is familiar with, one I am sorry to say you will probably hear about here again. Yesterday, in a fit of there-must-be-a-new-way-of-seeing-stuff-like-snowstorms, I Googled "reasons to like snow" and this is what I found: activities---things like sledding, making snowmen, making snowangels, skiing, tubing, getting days off school. However, this only compounded the problem, particularly that bit about getting snow days, because, when you no longer get weather-provoked time off and when the only daylight that you can claim as your own lies in your morning commute and Saturdays and Sundays, snow angels and sledding don't seem to find their … [Read more...]
3 Reasons I Love Brunch
I don't know whom to thank for the weekend phenomenon we call brunch---a simple Google search points at different times to the French Quarter of New Orleans (or really, the "Fench" quarter, which doesn't engender confidence); Britain in 1896 thanks to some publication called Hunter's Weekly; reporter Frank Ward O'Malley, who looked for a new term to define his journalist-on-the-go eating habits; and Britain in the 19th/20th century, when the convention demonstrated the leisured privilege of the rich. What I do know is this: there is nothing quite as nice as late-morning meals, especially at new places and especially with people you love. To prove my point, here are three reasons I love brunch (i.e., three Chicago-area restaurants that make nice ones): 1. HARNER'S 10 W State Street, North Aurora, IL A few Saturdays ago, my mom and my brother and I tried this new-to-me restaurant/bakery that I'd read rave reviews about online, where the menu is reasonably priced, the bakery … [Read more...]
Banana Bread + Waffles
The first time I used a waffle iron, I was a freshman in college. The dorm dining hall at my school had a designated table with an iron and a bowl of batter with a ladle in it, and one night when the tacos or chicken surprise on the menu didn't particularly appeal to me, I walked over to it and, using that adult independence I had newly acquired, made myself buttermilk breakfast for dinner. In the years between then and now, I've eaten homemade waffles in my friend Sue's kitchen at a different college in a different state, telling her what a good mom she'd make someday as she handed me a plate (by the way, turns out I was right); I've had blueberry waffles and pecan waffles and waffles covered with berries and whipped cream and chocolate syrup; in October, my brother and I split a waffle at Sola that was topped with goat cheese and strawberry-rhubarb compote; but it wasn't until recently that I had the kind of waffle I bring you today, one that defied any preconceptions or previous … [Read more...]
our thanksgiving
More holidays should be like Thanksgiving (and I don't just mean because of the food). In my family, this day means the four of us gathered around the table in the middle of a Thursday, eating comfort food, with Bailey somewhere nearby. We don't exchange presents and we don't spend hundreds of dollars. There aren't any Thanksgiving songs to sing or Thanksgiving movies to put on. There's the meal, and the random television shows after, but there's little else. It is filled with everything that matters and none of what doesn't. And this year, on a day when the hot water went out and the weather got much colder and two fire trucks rushed to our neighbor's for some kind of emergency, we were blessed to look around and see not what we lack but what we have. You know, this little family I have been given are the three people I have fought most with in this life, the ones who know exactly what drives me crazy and who have seen me at my most selfish and ugly, and we disagree on many things, … [Read more...]
good enough for grazing
This may seem a strange thing to say, the day before the nation's biggest food holiday, especially one in which I'll be doing the cooking, but here it is: I'm not really one for huge meals. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving. It's right up there with Easter as my favorite holiday. Every end of November, I love that we have a specific, routine reminder to stop and be grateful for all we've been given, and of course part of that is the table spread with turkey and stuffing and sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes and green been casserole and rolls and Jell-O molds and pies. But, if I were to offer one small complaint with this holiday, it is this: the indulgence of eating all those good things---and so much of them---at one, long, stuffing-yourself-until-your-pants-don't-fit sitting. I'd much prefer to graze all day, and in fact, that's what I do. In my family, at Thanksgiving, we make more turkey than we need, so we can have sandwiches for a week after. We save all the … [Read more...]

Brussels sprouts & bacon, oh my!
Today, I bring you a story that to me is pure embarrassment and laughter, but to you I hope will be encouragement. It is a post is for anyone who has ever done something stupid, not just in cooking but in life. It is for those who think they are incapable of cooking or baking, especially when you look at food blogs like this one. And, not only will it include a recipe, but also a tip on a great restaurant to check out next time you're in Galena. It is a story, yes, but it is also a reminder, mostly that when you make a very big mistake, you might as well laugh about it because, at the end of the day, even if you told nobody and got to hold your head a little higher, you'd still know the truth inside and then, you wouldn't know the intimacy of being honest with people or hearing that they mess up sometimes too (yes, that is an invitation for you to share your stories), and that would be a great loss indeed.

Hi. LOVE your plugin so far, but I'm still just setting it up. I think it's going to be exactly what we need, if it will fit into our site design.
It's an artist's site with items on display and for sale. In each section, the title of the piece is linked to an Order page, where there are thumbnails of each piece of artwork. When you hover on the thumbnail, you see the full title and cost. Some have two options available, "Print, or Poster" for example; I'm pretty sure I can use the Product Variations codes for this.
However, the visual aspect of the site is very important to the artist and I'm doing all I can to maintain his original design. The thumbnails go across the "Order" page in rows, 5 - 6 per row. When I added the "Add to Cart" button to each, it sent them all into one long column down the page. No matter how I've tweaked the thumbnail images' margins in "Advanced Settings", I can't retain my strips across the page and have the buttons line up underneath them at the same time. Do you have any advice for doing this? Is it even possible?
The site is under construction and still hidden from public view.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Japan's unemployment rate improved to 3.9 percent in June from 4.1 percent in the previous month, falling below 4 percent for the first time in four years and eight months, the government said Tuesday, as companies increased hiring amid signs of economic recovery.
The jobless rate fell as Japan's job availability improved in the month to its best level in five years.
The figures indicated that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policies centering on drastic monetary easing have helped to push down the yen and boost manufacturers' exports, leading to improvement in the labor market, analysts said.
The country's jobless rate fell to its lowest level since October 2008, immediately after U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. went bankrupt in September that year, triggering a global financial crisis.
Policymakers expressed optimism about the labor market, saying the government will continue to take measures to bolster the economy and create jobs.
"An economic recovery on the back of Abenomics has started to promote employment," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a press conference.
"We will make every effort to end deflation at an early date and achieve sustainable economic growth led by the private sector," said Suga, the government's top spokesman.
Japan's labor market is likely to improve further given that the outlook for the nation's economy has become brighter with exports bouncing back, some analysts said.
A falling yen usually supports the country's exporters by making Japanese products cheaper abroad and increasing the value of overseas revenue in yen terms. A rebound in exports has exerted a favorable influence on affiliated businesses.
The yen dropped against the U.S. dollar by 18.9 percent from a year earlier in June, according to data released by the Finance Ministry.
Japan's economy is estimated to have grown at an annualized rate of around 3 percent in inflation-adjusted terms in the second quarter from April to June, according to a survey of economists conducted by Kyodo News earlier this month.
Abe's government has said it will carefully monitor economic developments to make a final judgment in the fall on whether to raise the sales tax rate to 8 percent from the current 5 percent in April next year as scheduled.
The drop in the jobless rate could affect the government's decision on the tax issue.
Welcoming the unemployment rate's slide below 4 percent, Finance Minister Taro Aso said at a news conference that the jobs data "will become one indicator" in considering the advisability of the consumption tax hike, which experts say may choke economic recovery.
In June, the unemployment rate for women decreased to 3.5 percent from 3.9 percent in May, while for men it declined to 4.1 percent from 4.2 percent, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said in a preliminary report.
The number of unemployed people fell 160,000 from the previous month to 2.54 million, the internal affairs ministry said.
By industry, manufacturers, including automakers and electric-appliance makers, added 220,000 jobs, the ministry said.
Separate data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare showed the nation's job availability improved for the fourth straight month. The ratio of employment offers to seekers climbed to 0.92 in June from 0.90 in May, meaning 92 positions were available for every 100 job seekers.
Job availability was at the best level since June 2008, when it also stood at 0.92.
New job openings in the hotel and restaurant sectors increased 13.5 percent as the yen's weakness helped increase the number of foreign tourists, while new openings at manufacturers rose 0.8 percent for the first rise in 13 months.
But some economists said it remains uncertain whether the country's labor market will return to a strong recovery path.
"Even though exports are growing, the employment situation is unlikely to improve in a full-fledged manner unless domestic demand increases," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at the Norinchukin Research Institute.
"To boost domestic demand, the government has to act to pull the economy out of deflation as soon as possible," he added.

The IT Consultant works together with clients, demonstrating proper methodologies of using information technology (IT) to meet business targets and to solve various difficulties. They update the actual structure and proficiency of IT frameworks in diverse affiliations.
IT consultants are known to give basic training courses to clients relating to technology, IT infrastructures in addition to connecting with bona fide business outlines through improvements to it.
They can additionally be used to provide direction amidst perseverance and acquirement furthermore giving particular guidance, and may offer user training in addition to feedback.
IT consultants might be included in organization progress, besides their distinct duties.
The IT business contains the following:
- Professional services firms which continue broad professional workforces in addition to high invoice rates.
- Staffing organizations, which put technologists with businesses, reliably due to worker nonappearances, short lived authority deficiencies in addition to specific projects.
- Unbiased consultants, who usually are independently used or perhaps who limit as workers of staffing organizations, or as separate contractors.
- Information Technological innovation security consultants
You can find different reasons exactly why IT consultants usually are hired:
- To get external counsel and proposals
- To be acquainted with the actual consultants' specific strength
- Impermanent help during a project when the hiring of a new permanent employee is just not required or needed
- To outsource all or the main IT services from the specific company
Once a business defines what is needed to take it to another level, one will establish a scope, cost as well as a time-frame of the actual project.
The role from the IT consultancy company is usually to support and nurture the organization from the very introduction of the project all the way to the end and to deliver the project not just in the setting, time and cost but also with complete customer care.
The usual problem is a business doesn't generally know the details of what the project will deliver until it starts the process. In many circumstances, the incremental effort using some projects can result in significant financial reduction.
The scope of a venture is linked intimately towards proposed business operations and systems that this project will deliver. Regardless of if the project is to launch a new product range or perhaps discontinue unprofitable aspects of the business, the change should have some impact with business processes in addition to systems.
The documentation of a business processes in addition to system requirements are generally as fundamental in order to project scoping being an architect's plans would be to the costing and scoping from the construction of a new building.
The most prosperous business projects are always the ones that are driven by a worker who has the actual authority, vision and influence to push the required changes in a very business. It is highly unlikely a business will comprehend the changes until one has one of these people in the actual employment.
However, the project control role typically requires significant experience and skills which might be not usually found in just a company focused with daily operations. Due to this requirement within a lot more significant business alter projects and packages, outside expertise is frequently sought from firms which could bring this specific expertise to the firm.

Homicide suspect is arrested in Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say a suspect in an Albuquerque homicide three months ago now is in custody.
Bernalillo County Sheriff's officials say gunfire was exchanged Wednesday with the suspect, identified as 45-year-old Alex [auth] Trinidad Gallegos.
Authorities say Gallegos was wounded and tried to break into four houses in a northwest Albuquerque neighborhood. He was found hiding in the closet of one home after sheriff's deputies followed a trail of blood.
Deputies had joined Albuquerque police and Homeland Security agents in the search for the suspect wanted in the May 10 kidnapping and killing of 41-year-old Sergio Bickham.
Police say Bickham was found dead in a tunnel near Interstate 40.
KOB-TV says one man was arrested in the case in June and confessed to being part of Bickham's kidnapping, but not the homicide.

I'm about to buy a mac mini. I want to use a KVM to switch between the mini and my PC.
Mac Mini appears to only have an HDMI input on the back. It says it comes with a DVI to HDMI converter. However, when going through the purchase process they give you the option to buy a mini dv to DVI adapter.
That's where I get lost.
I have a 24" Samsung which uses DVI - so what exactly would I need?
