Céline Fall 2012
On the rare occasion Phoebe Philo was spotted at an art-world party in London last fall (her husband Max Wigram is a gallerist), she was always wearing trousers and a coat—one or another of those chic Céline house classics of hers, which balance on the shoulders and end at the knee without touching the body at any point in between. It seemed a mildly curious choice to be sticking to coats indoors, since last October and November were ridiculously hot in London, but now we know why. Philo was pregnant, and ever wary of fashion gossip, may have been trying to keep the news to herself. A baby boy, the third addition to the Philo-Wigram clan, is due on April 4, and it was abundantly clear by the bump under the woolly blue turtleneck that Philo was wearing to welcome guests to see her fall collection of . . . big coats, pants, and turtlenecks.
"Ergh, I'd rather not say anything this season," she laughed. "Just write what you see." There was no show, at least of the all-bells-and-whistles, circus-size kind. Philo had asked Céline's management for—and got—two smaller presentations of the kind fashion terms "intimate." Nevertheless they were shows, with girls walking, as per normal. Golly—guess what? The world doesn't grind to a halt when a lady has a baby. Gals today just work around it!
There's a reason women are so much more respected in fashion now—and not just because business managers have stepped into the twenty-first century. It's because a female designer's point of view can be financial gold. Women intuit design needs from what they feel, need, and makes them and their peers comfortable, both physically and psychically. Plus, since we are talking about high fashion, leading-edge design in this case, there is also the push to go a bit further and stand out. Though not, of course, like an idiot fashion-victim. Céline for fall covered all of those points. Go with Phoebe, and you'll be wearing a voluminously chic overcoat, a wider pair of ankle-cropped pants, perhaps a puffy, collaged sweatshirt with inflated sleeves (thick and warm enough to be an alternative piece of outerwear) and some sort of underpiece with a drapey sense of a turtleneck about it (which could be made in soft leather, or white PVC).
In a season where there's been a lot of talk about clothes for "working women," Céline's models, toting fold-over bags (some in mink) and sleek leather iPad envelopes in the crooks of their arms were instantly believable as the sort of women you want to be, or are. The way they looked struck a seamlessly confident compromise between luxury and comfort. Yet, no one wants to be too predictable. And so, Céline has a neon pink mink, too.
We should also give much credit to Philo as a pioneer in pushing that chicly concealing oversize volume. She did it already, in pre-fall, softening us up to this radically surprising new silhouette. That collection had a lineup which included a giant coat, an overscale pinstripe pantsuit, and a jumpsuit that had viewers taking a sharp inhale of breath. It's the moment when you blink and think, "Whoa! Do I want this?," and yet simultaneously feel some conversion, fueled by curiosity, going on in the back of your brain. At a guess, given the number of women who streamed out of the show saying, "Well, that's me sorted!," a ravenous acceptance is already there.

Me, I'm freezing my tail off at a state football semifinal double-header.
According to our buddy Andrew Gross, Lundqvist starts in goal tonight, and Derek Stepan starts at center on the No. 1 line with Marian Gaborik and Alex Frolov, where he was effective in the third period against Boston Wednesday.
That mean Erik Christensen centers the fourth line, between Sean Avery and either Derek Boogaard or Todd White. John Tortorella said it will be a game-time decision which will play and which will be prucha'd. Well, he didn't say "prucha'd." But you know what he means.

blanarahul - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkDidn't AMD say that Hawaii was a gaming oriented chip?? I mean that's why it has 1/8 FP64 performance. Reply
Ian Cutress - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkSome of my compute algorithms are all FP32 - it's not as if all compute demands FP64, though some algorithms obviously do (solving PDEs in small scale). Reply
Flunk - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkMost password hashing algorithms, scrypt, stuff like that. Reply
Darkstone - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkMost hashing algorithms use integers. Which is apparently the main reason AMD GPU's are preferred over NVIDIA's for such tasks: integer shift/rotate performance. Reply
The Von Matrices - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkNVidia's Maxwell architecture now matches AMD's GCN at these operations. Reply
npz - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkNo it does not. It's better than Kepler, but it's still far away Reply
npz - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkShift, rotate is part of it. But there are many more integer operations and all of them perform well on GCN. In addition, there is branching performance to consider that practically no one talks about. Reply
npz - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkLots of very useful things are still FP32. All the multimedia and 3D rendering is FP32 and integer (h.264 is integer for example). Engineering is still very useful in FP32 so long as you don't need absolute precision or can deal with small rounding errors. Reply
Lorthreth - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkLooks like Vapor has single DisplayPort and Toxic has 2 mini-DP. Reply
PixyMisa - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkLooks like you're right. That's the first 290 card I've seen with two mini-DP. I'm looking at getting a couple of Dell's 4K 24" monitors, so I need two DP outputs. My existing 7950 has that, and my Linux box has a 7770 with two mini-DP, but almost no current-gen cards from either AMD or Nvidia offer this. (Except the workstation cards.) Reply
Alchemy69 - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - link8GB of video memory is the Emperor's new clothes of video memory, only bought by kids with their parents money because they've been told that they need it if they want to be hardcore gamers. Reply
geekman1024 - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkYeah, and Bill Gates said 640K is enough. Reply
Brooklands - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkI've heard that statement a few years ago, when 128MB vram was considered "to much". It wasn't. And for some applications now and even more in 1-2 years 8GB won't be "to much". Games like Hitman Absolution, Thief 4 and some mods can easily max out the vram of a Titan, while achieving playable FPS in 4K resolution.

Mr Perfect - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkConsidering the PS4 and XBox 1 both have 8GB of ram each, I was a little surprised that the new videocards where coming out with only 4GB. Granted, it's 8GB of shared ram in the consoles, but next gen games are going to start taking large pools of ram for granted now. Reply
piroroadkill - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkNah, Xbox 1 has 64MiB RAM.
Xbox One has 8GiB unified. Reply
ImSpartacus - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkThe consoles use that RAM for the entire system, not just the GPU. Reply
rish95 - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkDo the PS4 and Xbox One even have the horsepower to make good use of 8GB of RAM? Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkIt's probably better to have too much and not need it than to not have enough and need it. They did it due to pressure from developers. If developers find a way to use it all, the PS4 will have a distinct advantage. Reply
EzioAs - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkSo these kids, I'm guessing they used their parent's money as well to buy 3 2560x1600 monitors to actually utilize the 8GB memory that comes with these cards? Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, March 14, 2014 - linkThat's not quite fair. You assume it's worthless and bought for spoiled rich kids.
First, it's been confirmed through testing that you need ~4GB if you plan on doing at 4xAA at 4K, depending on the game. If you start playing with higher settings, higher-res texture packs, and newer games designed to take advantage of more VRAM (thanks Xbone/PS4), then 8GB won't seem too extreme.
Second, you assume that only gamers want this, but there are many non-gaming applications that will eat up every last bit of VRAM you can throw at them and many consumers unwilling to spend the incredible premium on workstation cards.

The Von Matrices - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkDo these cards use 16 4Gb modules or 32 2Gb modules? Reply
Frenetic Pony - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkExactly what I've been waiting for, dedicated next gen games should start eating up video ram once they drop last gen as their minimum spec. Future proof gaming here we are! Reply

HOUSTON - A woman was shot multiple times in southwest Harris County on Thursday.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said a woman had car trouble in a bridal shop parking lot on South Highway 6 near Rancho Mission Drive.
A man walked up to the woman just before 4 p.m. and pretended to try to help her, but then he started shooting her, investigators said.
The woman was shot several times, including once in the back.
Deputies at a sheriff's office store front heard the gunshots and ran to help the woman.
The woman, possibly in her 20s, was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition.
Investigators said the motive for the shooting may have been robbery. Detectives said witnesses told them they saw a pickup truck or SUV with shiny rims flee the scene after the shooting.

I have been experimenting with a way to represent properties of an object in CSS. After reading some I learned that escaping can be used for special characters in ids and classes. I have tested the below and seems to be functioning, which is great. However, is there anything I might be overlooking (besides how convoluted it may look to most)?
disclaimer: I know this won't work in IE6 considering the last class is the only one IE6 will recognize. Lets put that aside.
I also wonder if jQuery will be alight with this. I'll have to test it out.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – While most Saint Leo University students are getting back into the swing of busy class schedules and extracurricular activities after a relaxing holiday season, the Lions' swimmers have been working hard in the Bowman Pool on the southeast corner of the University Campus.
With the Sunshine State Conference Championships on the horizon, along with an important Senior Day meet against Rollins on January 26, Head Coach Paul Mangen has been faced with the annual challenge of keeping his student-athletes in top shape despite going through 'the most wonderful time of the year.'
"The challenge of the winter season for us is that we want our student-athletes to be able to enjoy some time with their friends and or family without losing all their hard work from the fall," Mangen said. "It becomes a question of who is dedicated and able to focus on excellence."
Thirty days following their meet in Georgia against SCAD, a break that included the seven-day NCAA-mandated winter break period, Mangen trekked the Lions to Ft. Myers where Saint Leo swam in a New Year's Eve exhibition meet against Pfeiffer. In what has become an annual New Year's tradition against the Falcons, the men dominated behind a 226-124 score while the women came up just short with a 162-150 setback. While only team scores were kept, it served as a perfect setup to propel the Lions into the second-half of the season.
"Swimming Pfeiffer at that time does put something on the calendar to hopefully educe some urgency," Mangen said of their exhibition with the Falcons. "When we have a meet on the horizon I feel that our athletes have more focus, so it is very strategic like most of our competitions and we've gone back and forth with Pfeiffer each year since I've been here. (Pfeiffer Head Coach) Eric (Anderson) and I have very similar thought processes and we are able to come up with a meet each year that benefits both programs."
Stepping up to the big time saw the Lions' first meet of the New Year place them in the Orange Bowl Swim Classic against loaded Division I talent along the likes of the University of Michigan, West Virginia, George Mason and Florida International. Despite the challenge, the Lions held their own as the men trailed only the Wolverines in many events in a meet that legitimized their CSCAA no. 16 ranking. The women did not post a team score, but impressed individually with top-15 and a few top-10 finishes.
"We were not made aware that the scoring was only going to be top eight, but again when you are going up against some of the best competition in the country that isn't something you really need to focus on," Mangen said. "We did do a decent job of racing in a short course meter pool whereas we solely compete short course yards and had been training long course meters for the most part leading up to that meet. We put a lot of people in many events and the idea of challenging people so hard with different line-ups, hard competition, and multiple events is to build their confidence that at the end of the year we are prepared as best as we can be for the conference meet, which is the fastest and deepest conference in the country."
The men saw freshman Pawel Trenda carry the torch with second-place results in the 50 Fly (24.93) only behind Michigan's top swimmer; in the 100 Back (56.52); and the 200 IM (2:06.68). He also posted a third-place finish in the 100 Fly (55.69) with only Michigan swimmers finishing ahead of him in those events. His third-place relay performance in the 200 Medley (1:46.21) with teammates Matheus Assis, Pawel Trenda, Gabe Keown, and Milton Alberto-Requejo also helped to earn him the Saint Leo nomination for conference swimmer of the week.
On the women's side, Erin Bobsein posted a 14th and two 15th place finishes in the 100 Back, 50 Back and 200 IM respectively as she was the Lions' most consistent performer. Highlighting the meet were Paula Carvajal and Sandra Stopczynska who finished 10th and 12th respectively in the 50 Back.
Entering Sunshine State Conference competition for the first time since November 17, Saint Leo dominated Florida Tech on the men's side, while the women, competing in a double-dual format, bested both FIT and Lynn University.
Senior Michael Cozzi went undefeated for the Lions, winning all three of his events in dominant fashion. In total, the East Hampton, Conn. native finished atop the medal stand in the 1000 yard freestyle, the 500 yard freestyle and 200 yard freestyle, three of the longest events in the 22-event meet.
Helping the Lions to a dominating win over Florida Tech, Cozzi touched the wall in the 1000 free at 10:08.83, about 10 seconds faster than his nearest competitor. His time of 1:46.72 in the 200 free was nearly three seconds ahead of second place and the 4:53.14 finish in the 500 free saw five seconds elapse before the next swimmer finished.
His contribution helped the Lions to a 114-73 win over Florida Tech on the men's side.
Junior Bianca Muniz highlighted the women's team's 119-68 win over FIT and 126-56 victory over Lynn. Winning the 100 Free, her time of 55.44 was one second better than the next finisher as she also swam the anchor leg in the victorious 200 IM Relay (1:53.95) with teammates Chloe Pellican, Bobsein and Stopzynska; and stood atop the medal stand in the 200 Free Relay (1:45.30) with teammates Stopzynska, Isabella Bains, and Kristy Marques.
The wins the Lions have managed to bring back from Melbourne have Mangen excited for the next couple of weeks.
"This is the fourth quarter of the collegiate season, if you will, so we are pretty much focused on event and race specifics. That being said, they are swimming with a greater purpose, performing better in practice and really looking forward to our annual end of year clash with arch-rival Rollins. The ladies did not have their best performance again them in the fall and Rollins was absolutely ready. The men need to tie up a couple loose ends as well and will use this meet as an opportunity to swim fast."
Mangen closed out his thoughts by sharing, "I stand by the phrase that competition is the purest form of training."
Reaching the home stretch of the season, and looking toward postseason NCAA qualifications, the Lions turn their attention towards the final home meet of 2012-13. Saint Leo will welcome Rollins College to the Bowman Pool on Saturday, January 26. The Sunshine State Conference meet, also serving as Senior Day for the Lions' swimmers, will get underway at 11:00 a.m.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Do you ever remember something that you need to do right as you're about to fall asleep? After that, you can't fall asleep anymore because you are too worried that you'll forget it in the morning.
An easy way to solve this problem would be to have a pencil and paper next to your bed with a little flashlight. But if you don't have this handy, try putting something out of place. For example, throw a magazine or wadded tissue at the door. When you wake up in the morning, you'll notice the out-of-place item and be reminded of what you almost forgot.
You can use this technique for other situations besides falling asleep at night. For example, if you are in the car and need to remember something but can't write it down, open the glove box or ashtray and leave it open. When you park, it will be a reminder.

Hi there,
I am new to the forum and I a want to learn how to program using Python. The reason for learning is because I like to make simple games for friends and family.
I am half way through the book 'Python programming, for the absolute beginner' and i must say that it is realy helpfull. Especially the challenge at the end of every chapter. If can not complete the challenge you need to read the chapter again. Further more, my english is not my native language so bare with me.
I have two questions, are there examples of code from simple games? I like to look over code from other people to see if I can understand it and if they have smart solutions I can use those in the future. Or is it 'not-done' using parts of other people's code?

To prepare the dumplings, bring the water and salt to a boil. Whisk in the cornmeal stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. Cover, reduce the flame to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley . Remove from the flame and allow to cool or refrigerate, uncovered, until the cornmeal becomes firm.
While the cornmeal is cooking and cooling, prepare the soup. Heat the oil in a soup pot and sauté the garlic and onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans, celery, carrots, potatoes, rutabaga, tomatoes, bay leaf, water and sea salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and turn the flame to low, stir in the pepper and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if needed.
Scoop the cornmeal up with a tablespoon and shape it into balls. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and place 2 or 3 dumplings into each bowl. Garnish with the chopped spinach, arugula or watercress and serve hot.

HOUSTON - A very cold stretch of weather in Houston is about to get colder! Skies will begin to clear in southeast Texas between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, which will allow for sub-freezing morning low temperatures for much of the region. Metropolitan Houston's best chance for a morning freeze will be on Thanksgiving, when temperatures could dip into the upper 20s.
While a light freeze may affect areas north of Houston Wednesday morning, Thursday morning looks like the coldest this week. North and northeast of Houston, in places like Conroe, Huntsville, Livingston and Lufkin, temperatures will drop to between 23 and 28 degrees for six to eight hours. Elsewhere, upper 20s to low 30s will be common.
The freezing temperatures will definitely impact delicate plants and outdoor pets, so take precautions to protect them between Tuesday evening through Friday morning. The risk for freezing pipes is low for the majority of southeast Texas, as temperatures will not drop low enough for a long enough period of time to cause water pipes to freeze and rupture. If any issues with water pipes DO occur, it would be Thursday morning in the sector well north and northeast of Houston that will experience the 23 to 28 degree low temperatures.
By the end of the week, temperatures will begin to moderate as the persistent north wind we have experienced for several days finally shifts to the east and southeast.

A Cid are you OK?Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Cid was working near the acid vats one day when he noticed some aluminum on the floor that was quite corroded from some of the acid that had spilled on it. Cid then made his way to the top of the vat to inspect some equipment. The plant manager was conducting a tour and happened to be coming by the vats just then. He pointed to the warning signs on the vats that read "caution: corrosive" and went to move on, but as luck would have it Cid recognized someone in the tour group and leaning over the railing to wave, slipped and plunged into the vat. The crowd gasped sure that the Cid would be instantly dissolved by the acid. Another worker rushed over and pulled Cid out. Cid, none the worse except for being rather embarrassed and very soggy yelled down "I'm ok". The plant manager remarked that wasn't part of the tour and asked people to move on. Cid wasn't wearing any protective clothing or had any special protection form the acid when he fell in.
So why was he unharmed (other than his ego) ?
AnswerCid works at a pickling factory and fell into a vat of acetic acid or vinegar. Vinegar will corrode aluminum and other metals but has little effect on skin.

Business Executive Paul Nehlen is no stranger to taking a stand where few are willing to do so. Nehlen recently raised nearly $2,000,000 to challenge House Speaker Paul Ryan in a GOP primary, forcing dangerous legislation like the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be sidelined as a result of his aggressive opposition to Ryan's big government positions.
Nehlen is again ready to deliver via this ground-breaking documentary project. Hijrah, the story of radical Islam's global invasion, will expose the truth behind the global refugee crisis and what it all means for the future of America.
Hijrah immerses viewers deep into the dark underworld of the Muslim refugee crisis. The story provides an extensive background into the origins of Hijrah, the true purpose of the refugee invasion happening across the globe and the shocking reality of how our very own government is fueling its rise.
Scenes of chaos are unfolding across the globe as millions of Muslims make their way out of the Middle East and into the west. Western governments are unprepared for the onslaught of Muslim migrants and world leaders appear completely ignorant of what the underlying mass movement is about.
If we're to believe the words of corporate media, and of course we shouldn't, it's all about human rights with virtually no potential for deadly consequences. But is that really what this is all about?
Is it all a harmless movement of people fleeing their homeland for hope of a better future in the west? Are the millions of Muslims migrating into the nations of the West willing to integrate into our culture and way of life?
The following story should shake you to your core being. Because I'm about to show you truth the media is unwilling to share. I'm about to show you how this mass movement of Muslims is carefully and strategically designed to provide cover for something sinister.
I'm Paul Nehlen and this is the story of modern day radical Islamic Hijrah.

People in Basingstoke are being urged to donate furniture and white goods to help flood victims whose possessions have been lost or damaged.
Fifty-eight homes have now been evacuated in Sperrin Close, Antrim Close, Bodmin Close, Exmoor Close, Quantock Close and Prescelly Close with 36 of the properties belonging to Sovereign Housing Association.
The Community Furniture Project (CPF) and Sovereign Housing Association are asking residents to take their donations to the CFP's depot on Joule Road in Houndmills.
The CPF will be updating their website regularly to let people know the items that are required and the project has been actively working with residents whose homes are threatened by floodwater in an effort to save their furniture.
Sovereign are helping residents affected by the floods, finding alternative accommodation for those who have had to evacuate their homes, especially vulnerable residents. A team from the housing association are on hand at the Ridgeway Centre to keep residents informed about the latest situation.
Chief executive of the CFP, Kelvin Hughes said: "We're asking people to take unwanted furniture and white goods directly to the depot to free up our vehicles to continue with their efforts to save the furniture of those people threatened by the floods."
Sovereign's community investment coordinator, Lee Dillon added: "Many people in Buckskin – both Sovereign and private residents – have seen their households belongings ruined by the flood waters.
"We're hoping to mobilise the people of Basingstoke to donate generously so we can help to meet the basic requirements of affected residents who are moving into unfurnished temporary accommodation."

YORK'S lord of the swing Simon Dyson will be pitched into golf's equivalent of the Indian Premier Cricket League tomorrow.
The 35-year-old opted not to compete in the current Joburg Open in South Africa, which is the latest tournament on the European Tour.
Instead, he accepted an invitation to play in the inaugural Pearls Golf Premier League, which carries a prize of $250,000 for the winning four-man team.
The event is a new format of the game and has been devised by Indian player Shiv Kapur, who shares the same International Sports Management agency as York-born Dyson.
Besides the Malton & Norton GC ace, other top European players competing in the contest spread over today, tomorrow and Sunday is 2011 Open champion Darren Clarke, successful Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie and 2005 US Open champion Michael Campbell, from New Zealand.
Two other major winners – Argentinean Angel Cabrera, who captured the US Open in 2007 and The Masters two years later, and America's Rich Beem, the 2002 USPGA champion – will also play.
Top Indian players, led by competition originator Kapur, and leading performers from the Asian Tour will compete.
It was the Asian Tour on which Dyson won in his rookie season as a professional 13 years ago. The current world number 75 has since won six European Tour titles.
Eight franchises will be represented by four-strong teams after franchise owners bid for players from each of the four pools at auction, part of the proceeds from the auction go to a designated charity.
Dyson has been drafted into the Colombo Sixers, the only franchise from outside India, and which is headed by Sri Lankan cricket captain Mahela Jayawardene and his international team-mate Kumar Sangakkara, both keen golfers.
The innovative three-day event starts tomorrow at the Aamby Valley Golf Course, in Maharashtra, It won the Best International Golf Course award at the recent International Property Awards in London.
Eight teams of four players play three 14-hole rounds in a strokeplay/best ball format with a maximum of 30 seconds to hit a shot.
The first two rounds will involve day-night rounds of strokeplay, the first time 'night-time' golf will be incorporated into a pro tournament.
The third and final round will comprise a combination of four-ball and foursomes matches to determine the inaugural GPL champions.
Kapur said: "When I saw the Indian Premier League, I thought it made cricket look cool. I wanted to do the same in golf."
The other franchises are the Punjab Lancers, the Delhi Darts, the Gujarat Underdawgs, the Shubhkamna UP Eagles, the Tamilnadu Pullees, the Maharashtra 59ers and the Uttarakhand Lions.

Blogger Spotlight: Tina Haupert from Carrots 'N' Cakeby Lauren Miyashiro in Uncategorized, September 21, 2012
Describe what a normal day of eating is for you.
A normal day of eating for me involves lots of whole foods. I eat a Paleo-esque diet, but I'm not super strict about it and allow for splurges every now and then. For breakfast, I usually eat a two-ingredient pancake with almond or sunflower butter. Lunch is a salad with chicken or Curry Tuna Cakes or Spaghetti Squash Pancakes. Dinner is usually meat and veggies. Some of my favorite dinner recipes are Gingery Broccoli and Beef and Dry Rub Steak with Avocado Salsa. Sweet Potato Wedges are also a weekly staple in my lunches and dinners. For snacks, I like sliced banana with nut butter and protein shakes made with coconut milk and vanilla-flavored egg protein.
Tell us a little about your weight loss journey. What was the most difficult part, and how did you overcome it?
I've written about my weight loss story on my site. The most difficult part was getting started, but, once I had a plan, it made it so much easier to stick to my new healthy habits.
What form of exercise do you recommend most to people just getting started?
CrossFit! A lot of people might be surprised to hear this, but CrossFit is scale-able to any skill level and there's a modification for every exercise, so it's a great way to get in shape and lose weight (quickly) even for beginners.
What's your favorite song to work out to?
Anything by David Guetta.
We love the name of your blog. Is cake your favorite sweet treat?
Yep! Cake is my favorite food. I never turn down an opportunity to enjoy a piece!
Do you have a favorite recipe? If so, please share!
Right now, I'm loving this recipe for Pad Thai from Well Fed. It's made with spaghetti squash instead of noodles, and it's absolutely delicious!

Hi ,
How to refresh particular DIV every few second....
Put it in an iframe and give the head of the iframe a refresh directive.
Hi Paul,Digging for an answer to a similar problem I have now, I found your answer.Can you please give an example on how to do what you mentioned(iframe)?Thanks in advance.
<iframe src="targetpage.html"></iframe>
Thanks Paul,Can I put a php instead of html?How do you make it refresh at a give time interval?
You would put a meta-tag in the page that the iframe is loading, to perform the refresh. See http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/meta
Thank you Paul, I will do just that.
@Paul: do we really advise people to use iframes? (I'm personally not fond of iframes at all...)
iframes are not the only answer - it's preferable now to use setInterval to trigger an ajax request, and update the div in that manner.If using jQuery it would be something like:
$('#target').data('timedupdate', window.setInterval(function () {
}, 5000));
The data part gives you the ability to use clearInterval on that timedupdate at some later stage, should you decide you want to do so.

New Delhi, Aug 19 (IANS) German luxury car manufacturer Audi Monday launched a new version of its compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) Q3 S with a price tage of Rs.24.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The company also opened its online booking engine.
"Our customer feedback revealed a growing inclination of our younger customers towards a more engaging drive. Audi Q3 S edition is our answer to the ever increasing demand for luxury mobility with the thrill of self-controlled driving," Michael Perschke, head Audi India, said at the launch.
"We are the market leaders in the luxury SUV segment and the Audi Q3 further consolidated that position for us."
The company's sales in the first seven months of the calender year grew by 19 percent at 5,551 vehicles from 4,680 vehicles sold during the corresponding period of 2012.
The new Q3 version is powered by a four-cylinder 2.0 TDI engine coupled with a six-speed manual transmission which delivers a fuel economy of 17.32 km per litre.
Apart from the new vehicle, the company also launched its online booking engine and a its third showroom in New Delhi.
The company plans to expand its dealerships from the current 27 centres to 34 by the end of the year.
The company also launched a dedicated club for Audi owners, who will be able to enjoy a host of privileges in other brands like Abercrombie & Kent, Trident and Olive Bar and Kitchen which have partnered with Audi for the initiative.
Recently, the company also unveiled a range of sports cars in the country including Audi R8 V10+, Audi RS 5, Audi S6 and Audi TT models at the concluded Delhi Couture Week (DCW) 2013.
The world's second-biggest luxury vehicles maker is said to be upgrading the top-of-the-line A8 later this year to compete with a new generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The company also plans to outfit A3 models with high-speed wireless technology to enhance appeal.

Shakespeare's Monkeys. The idea that monkeys typing at random could eventually produce the works of Shakespeare by random typing was put the test by researchers at Plymouth University in England, as reported by Associated Press May 9, 2003. They found that six monkeys left alone with a computer for one month, attacked the machine and failed to produce a single word. "They pressed a lot of S's," said researcher Mike Phillips. "Obviously, English isn't their first language," reported Jill Lawless (Associated Press).
Faculty and students in Plymouth University's media program left a computer in the monkey enclosure at Paignton Zoo in Devon (southwest England). Then they waited for the six Sulowesi crested macaques to type. At first, said Phillips, "the lead male got a stone and started bashing the hell out of it. Another thing they were interested in was defecating and urinating all over the keyboard," added Phillips, who runs the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technologies. The Plymouth experiment was funded by a grant from England's Arts Council and part of the Vivarie Project, which plans to install computers in zoos across Europe to study differences between animal and artificial life. The monkeys' typing consisted primarily of the letter S with A, J, L and M, making fleeting appearances.
Editorial Comment: The idea that monkeys typing randomly should eventually produce Shakespeare quality literature is usually associated with Thomas Huxley, the 19th century avid promoter of Darwin's evolution theories. As far as we know this is the first time the monkey typing hypothesis has been scientifically tested. It seems it doesn't help evolution theory at all. The best suggestion for the predominant S with A, J, L and M is that these letters correspond to the left and right points on the monkeys backside when they sat on the keyboard. The mathematicians who calculated it would take a number of monkeys equal to 10 followed by 813 zeros, 5 years to type Shakespeare's Sonnet no 3, if they each had a computer, and all typed at a steady 120 letters a minute. The random Shakespeare theory is now exposed for the rubbish that it is. Furthermore they forgot to include the fact that the monkeys would destroy their computers long before the five years was up.

Mumbai, Sep 2 (IANS) In an embarrassment to senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde, his estranged nephew Dhananjay Munde was re-elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Council on NCP ticket here Monday.
Dhananjay Munde, who quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) this year, also resigned from the upper house to join the Nationalist Congress Party.
The NCP and the Congress backed his candidature in the by-poll to the upper house seat, necessitated by his own resignation.
Given the comfortable strength enjoyed by the ruling alliance in the legislature, Dhananjay Munde was expected to win easily.
However, in the run-up to the elections, Gopinath Munde had expressed hopes that the legislators would not vote on party lines but "as per their conscience".
Dhananjay Munde secured 165 votes to trounce Prithviraj Kakade, son of a veteran leader Sambhajirao Kakade and a long-time detractor of NCP chief Sharad Pawar.
Kakade stood as an independent supported by the BJP-Shiv Sena combine but secured only 106 votes and failed to make it to the legislature.
Dhananjay Munde later indicated that if the NCP leadership desired, he would be open to contesting against his uncle in any future election.
"I shall carry out any responsibility the (NCP) party gives me to be best of my abilities," he asserted.

amrs - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkThanks for another great podcast! I especially appreciate the deep details in these. I've wondered why since I'm usually not so interested in reading same. Perhaps it's because I mostly listen during my commute so the detailed info is a sort of value add to otherwise wasted time...
I also appreciate the lack of self promotion in these. Some other, much shorter podcast I just listened to spent over 10% of their time talking about themselves and promoting their site. Just the facts please the way Anandtech does it! Reply

College bowl payouts don't always add up
The bogus billing for Pitt-Cincinnati had nothing to do with the Big East championship on the line, yet everything to do with the automatic BCS bowl berth at stake.
Despite discussion to the contrary, Cincinnati's 45-44 victory over Pitt last Saturday at Heinz Field wasn't a winner-takes-all for the $18 million payout provided by the Sugar Bowl. Cincinnati will receive less than $2.2 million and Pitt slightly more than $1 million for their respective bowl trips, plus an eight-way cut of the conference share.
One of the major misconceptions in college football is that universities reap a financial windfall by earning a BCS bowl berth and risk losing tens of millions by failing to do so.
Instead, most BCS-affiliated conferences pool the payouts, staggering the allotment to cover expenses for bowl-bound schools while splitting the remainder of the revenue evenly to every member. Each of the eight Big East schools will receive roughly $1,898,000 on top of their bowl expenses, while all 11 Big Ten teams will receive about $2,215,000.
"In no conference is there any game where the winner makes $18 million and the loser makes $1 million. That's a bad business model," Big East associate commissioner Nick Carparelli said. "The bowl payout to conferences is really funny money. When you go to bowl games, you're going to more expensive destinations with a bigger travel party.
"The net result isn't a million dollars. It might even be zero."
When it comes to playing in bowl games, Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia athletic directors said major-college football programs aren't looking to make money but to avoid accruing losses.
"None of us view the expense money for going to a bowl game as profit, but we do figure it in our budget," Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said. "The finances of all these games are tight, so there's no great windfall going to any one school. The way we're allocated expense money, you hope you cover your expenses."
Even earning a BCS bid doesn't guarantee covering the costs.
When West Virginia lost to Pitt, 13-9, in December 2007, it kept the Mountaineers out of the BCS national championship game but not the BCS bowl picture. Instead of playing in New Orleans, West Virginia headed 1,000 miles further west to the Fiesta Bowl.
"The real misconception is when somebody goes to a BCS bowl, people think you're getting $15 million," West Virginia senior associate athletic director Russ Sharp said. "You're getting a fraction of that - and it costs a fortune to go to the Fiesta Bowl."
Sharp said that the Big East's payout to West Virginia for its trip to the 2008 Fiesta Bowl was $2,425,600, but the school's expenses totaled $3,495,000 - for losses of $1,069,400. Taking the 400-member band alone cost West Virginia nearly $700,000, and the school had to swallow some of its 17,500 ticket obligation.
"We lost money on that trip," Sharp said. "It was an expensive deal."
Another misconception is that a conference receives an additional $18 million when it lands two teams in BCS bowls, like the Big Ten (Ohio State and Iowa) and Southeastern (Alabama and Florida) have. Actually, it receives $4.5 million for a BCS at-large berth.
Although Iowa earned the at-large berth instead of Penn State due largely to its 21-10 victory Sept. 26 in Happy Valley, the Hawkeyes get only $250,000 more for their trip to the Orange Bowl in Miami than the Nittany Lions do for the Capital One Bowl in Orlando.
"It's a constant, educational reminder to our fan base that, 'here are the financial realities,'" Penn State athletic director Tim Curley said. "You've got to manage it because you don't want to lose money on these trips. We try to be respectful of what it realistically costs to go on these bowl trips."
What helps Curley's cause is that the Capital One (formerly Citrus) Bowl alleviates a major cost by covering hotel expenses up to 1,000 room/nights, equal to 100 rooms a night for 10 nights, at four-star hotels for its participants.
"We may be the only one in the country that does that," said Florida Citrus Sports executive director Steve Hogan, who places the savings at "easily a $150,000-plus value."
The NCAA permits schools to take a "team party" that includes players and coaches and their spouses and children, athletic department staffs and guests of personnel with duties, and an "official party" that includes the university president or chancellor, the vice president responsible for athletics, the state governor, the governing board of the university and faculty representatives.
Curley said the school normally invites only those closely associated with the football program, including just a handful of the 48 members of its Board of Trustees, because of the costs involved. The band and cheerleaders won't head to Orlando until Dec. 29, although that requires an additional expense with airfare.
"Chartered planes," Curley said, "are very expensive."
In this economy, bowls realize schools are trying to minimize costs. Pederson said Pitt plans to take a "pretty skeletal crew," while Sharp said West Virginia will be "very mindful of expenses."
"I think each school has to decide how big their travel party is going to be," Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett said. "That's probably the easiest way to manage their expenses. Some schools will be lavish, others won't. Where the bowls have addressed the economic climate is to be more regional in their selections and get teams that travel well."
Where the Big East allocates expenses according to finish in conference standings and gives every bowl-bound team an additional $200 per mile from campus to the bowl site, the Big Ten has a higher payout intended to cover travel and hotel accommodations, as well as ticket obligations.
While West Virginia is responsible for 12,750 tickets for the sold-out Gator Bowl against Florida State, and Penn State has to sell 12,000 tickets for the Capital One Bowl against Louisiana State — both to be played on New Year's Day in Florida — Pitt has to sell 12,500 tickets for the Meineke Car Care Bowl against North Carolina the day after Christmas in Charlotte.
Both the date and destination can factor into a school's ticket sales, and Meineke executive director Will Webb said he expects Pitt to return some tickets after estimating that it brought 2,000 to 2,500 fans to the 2004 game. The Pitt athletic department announced Friday that it is giving free tickets to students making the trip.
"It's certainly important to play on Jan. 1 for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that Jan. 1 has traditionally been the date that college football fans turn on their TV sets and watch college football," Curley said. "We're going to be in a prime-time game, and our destination is No. 1 in the world for entertainment, so from that standpoint, it's very attractive. The great weather is a nice attraction for our alumni that live in the north."
When it comes to clinching a bowl berth, the difference between winning and losing has more to do with bowl destinations than financial considerations. Simply put, going somewhere sunny is more important than making money.
"Certainly the bowl system is one of the greatest traditions in all of sports," Carparelli said, "but unfortunately, it's never been a fair system."
Or an equitable one.

Lectures on Behavioral Macroeconomicsby Paul De Grauwe
In mainstream economics, and particularly in New Keynesian macroeconomics, the booms and busts that characterize capitalism arise because of large external shocks. The combination of these shocks and the slow adjustments of wages and prices by rational agents leads to cyclical movements. In this book, Paul De Grauwe argues for a different macroeconomics model--one that works with an internal explanation of the business cycle and factors in agents' limited cognitive abilities. By creating a behavioral model that is not dependent on the prevailing concept of rationality, De Grauwe is better able to explain the fluctuations of economic activity that are an endemic feature of market economies. This new approach illustrates a richer macroeconomic dynamic that provides for a better understanding of fluctuations in output and inflation. De Grauwe shows that the behavioral model is driven by self-fulfilling waves of optimism and pessimism, or animal spirits. Booms and busts in economic activity are therefore natural outcomes of a behavioral model. The author uses this to analyze central issues in monetary policies, such as output stabilization, before extending his investigation into asset markets and more sophisticated forecasting rules. He also examines how well the theoretical predictions of the behavioral model perform when confronted with empirical data. Develops a behavioral macroeconomic model that assumes agents have limited cognitive abilities Shows how booms and busts are characteristic of market economies Explores the larger role of the central bank in the behavioral model Examines the destabilizing aspects of asset markets

Andrelton Simmons proved to be the unlikely hero in the Atlanta Braves' second consecutive win over the St. Louis Cardinals; he provided a clutch two-run double in a 2-0 final at Turner Field on Saturday.
Simmons' double capped off an eighth inning rally started when Freddie Freeman drew a lead-off walk off Cardinals' reliever Randy Choate. Choate was pulled two batters later when Brian McCann singled, leading to Trevor Rosenthal being brought in. Rosenthal struck out Dan Uggla but walked Chris Johnson to load the bases with two outs.
That setup Simmons to rip a 2-1 fastball clocked at 99 miles per hour from Rosenthal to left-center to drive in the only two runs of the game.
But even more impressive than Atlanta's rally over the National League Central leaders was Julio Teheran's frighteningly good outing. Teheran gave up just two hits and no runs in seven innings, sitting down 19 of the last 20 Cardinals' batters he faced.
Teheran also finished with six strikeouts before being removed for pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich, whose double put the Braves at second and third in the bottom of the seventh. After Jason Heyward was intentionally walked, Justin Upton grounded into a double play on the first pitch he saw from Seth Maness, ending the inning.
Cardinals' starter Joe Kelly was solid in his own right, holding the Braves to seven hits in 6 1/3 scoreless innings.
Craig Kimbrel recorded his 30th save of the season, joining John Smoltz as the only Braves pitchers with three 30-save seasons.

Rupert Murdoch has rejected Gordon's Brown claim that he was wrong when he said the former prime minister "declared war" on the tycoon's media empire after the Sun switched support to the Conservatives.
The News Corporation chairman and chief executive said he stood by "every word" of his account to the Leveson Inquiry on Wednesday.
Mr Murdoch, 81, said Mr Brown was "not in a very balanced state of mind" when he called to complain about the Sun withdrawing its backing for Labour in September 2009.
He recalled: "He said, 'Well, your company has declared war on my government and we have no alternative but to make war on your company'."
Mr Brown said on Wednesday night that this "serious allegation" was "wholly wrong" and called on Mr Murdoch to correct his evidence.
But Mr Murdoch told the Leveson Inquiry when it resumed: "As for the conversation, which he's denied, I said that very carefully yesterday under oath, and I stand by every word of it."
The media mogul also suggested that former Labour minister Lord Mandelson was told by the then-prime minister to accuse his UK newspapers subsidiary News International of having "done a deal" with David Cameron over The Sun's backing for the Tories.
He said: "Lord Mandelson in his book said he did this under order from Mr Brown, knowing it to be false. That's in his own autobiography, that he reluctantly went out to do what he was told, and I think that just reflects on Mr Brown's state of mind at the time."
Mr Brown said the only phone call he had with Mr Murdoch in his last year in office was in the second week of November 2009 after The Sun published a story accusing the prime minister of mis-spelling the name of a soldier killed in Afghanistan in a letter of condolence to his mother. Mr Murdoch told the inquiry he could not recall this conversation.
He said: "At the time I spoke to the editor and thought it was too hard on Mr Brown. He had taken the trouble to write to a mother, obviously in a hurry, his handwriting wasn't very good. But it seemed to be very cruel because he had taken the trouble. But I don't think I rang him personally to apologise or talk about it. I may have."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1652 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Music's digital revolution may not be your father's vinyl shop but it's not only a youth quake anymore.
The takeover has spread so widely that in 2012, for the first time in history, digital stores became the primary outlet for buying albums, eclipsing mass merchants that had been the leading sales sector for the previous five years.
And booming digital sales this month suggest the shift is broadening more dramatically.
"As the days tick by, more people get accustomed to experiencing music digitally," says Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts, retail. "At the beginning of January, we used to see a huge surge of physical album sales. Now everyone has iTunes gift cards, and moms and grandparents got their first iPads and iPhones. So grandma is downloading that Susan Boyle album."
In the album format, digital jumped six per cent in 2012, though fans still favour the physical version. Last year, 193 million CDs were sold versus 118 million digital albums, according to Nielsen SoundScan's yearend data report.
The breakdown in total album sales:
-- Digital services such as iTunes and Amazonmp3: 37 per cent.
-- Walmart, Target and other mass merchants: 29 per cent.
-- Best Buy and similar chains: 15 per cent.
-- Nontraditional outlets such as Amazon physical sales, mail order, venue and fan club sales: 10 per cent.
-- Indie stores: seven per cent.
Adele's 21 was the year's top-selling digital album with 1.04 million copies, trailed by Taylor Swift's Red with 863,000 and Mumford & Sons' Babel with 778,000. Digital sales fell far short of CD sales: 21 sold 3.37 million copies, and Red sold 2.24 million.
CDs, costlier than downloads, have been allotted less shelf space at Best Buy, Target and other chains, speeding digital's rise, Caulfield says.
"Digital has been consistently growing, and that's to be expected as we progress away from physical purchases and further into streams and music that nobody actually owns," Caulfield says. "It's a natural transition. Nobody's buying eight-tracks anymore."
And yet the LP comeback is flourishing. While only a sliver of the musical pie, vinyl rose 19 per cent, reaching 4.6 million copies in 2012, breaking the 2011 record of 3.9 million.
"The most old-fashioned way of experiencing music continues to grow every year," Caulfield says. "A lot of people still want something tangible."

As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Memory :: Transience
Transience refers to the fact that memories fade with time. Different memories fade at different rates for different people. This is mostly due to the frequency with which the memories are remembered.
Each time you recall a memory the neural pathways that make up that memory get triggered. This causes these neurons to strengthen and ensures that this memory will stick around a bit longer. If you rarely recall a memory, it will naturally fade into the background because it is probably unimportant.
This fact is why repetition and review are such important steps to do if you want to remember something. This is especially important for new memories, which are very fragile and can fade quickly unless you strengthen them.

After setting that mature content is allowed in my preferences on the CR site.
And restarting my PS3 after the last hang. Things started working correctly.
Both series that were causing issues no longer did and both played back fine.
So all that is left now is 720p or 1080p versions of anime shows. SD doesn't look that great on a large HDTV.
PS3 isn't working at all. Original fat 80GB model.
Having issues on my ps3 slim 160gb using wifi.
Recently it had been stuck when I try playing videos, it would show the loading icon, attempt to load, but then return to the menu.
Now it either does that, or crashes altogether, sometimes even when simply browsing episode menus.
I really do enjoy the service, but the whole reason I subscribed was for getting the comfort of being able to stream on my tv using my ps3, kinda sad I'm stuck at my desktop until another patch comes (and hopefully fixes these issues).

but Dakara ep12 from my history causes a black screen and a hung ps3 every-time when I tried to play that episode.
Looks like Dakara and Nakaimo from my history both make the ps3 hang.
Oddly enough when I try to access them from the regular section, it says not available, please try again later.
CR happens to consider both of them mature content. Might be a limitation of the app at the moment.
But HD and not making the PS3 hang is a requirement before the app can be considered worth using.
I found that by going to the Web site and changing the settings to allow mature content, I managed to stop those kinds of hangs. I still get other hangs (as mentioned in my post here earlier), but it seems to be a problem when you have mature content in your queue but you haven't generally approved mature content.
I'm really hoping for a patch soon. The PS3 app is really buggy. There's the mature content bug, the browsing bug I reported, and then there's problems with some shows not playing.
This is kind of unfortunate since my PS3 is my primary way of viewing Crunchyroll (and why I subscribed). I'd like to scroll past the Bount arc in Bleach, but because of the browsing bug, I can't.
PS3 Slim 160 GB, using Wi-Fi. Having the exact same issue as Knightsabre09. It doesnt happends on every video but yeah in at least half of the list.
I'm using a 60gb/wireless with a signal at 80 - 90% and it freezes every time I go to history and will freeze on its own just by scrolling threw some pages
720p 1080p is a must option
250gb upgrade to 500gb slim
Wired through gig network interface
ISP Service: Verizon FiOS 150 Mbps down / 65 Mbps up
Since update have not noticed much issues but only have watched content I know is only 480p at best. Otherwise I use my computer to get the 1080p content.
Additions I would like to see moving forward if possible:
1) High def options (hulu does it base on bandwidth but you can definitely see the difference)
2) Ability to rate the show as you're watching it
3) optional ability to make a quick comment on the show and see others
4) Ability for what you watched on the PS3 app to count towards CR achievements (this isn't a big deal but for some reason I like to get the achievements)
My experience with the app has been outstanding. Sure, it has crashed a few times. But not enough to complain about. Oh, for some reason there was one instance where I was locked out of watching one episode so I watched on my laptop. And like the poster said above me, if you could add CR achievements for the service I would be beside myself with joy.
Cast in the name of God, Ye not guilty.
Fat 160, wired, 6Mb DSL. Has been working fine, but last night, streaming Broken Blade, any pause greater than 10 seconds desynced the audio from the video.
you know it's all about the bass, no treble
I've got a Slim 120G(well, maybe a 160G ...can't check right now) and it freezes/goes black constantly, WiFi and wired on DSL. The WiFi said it was doing 6.1Mbps which NetFlix is generally flawless with. I think it was rating the signal strength at 70%. I've reinstalled the app once but it's the same or worse even.
Ok, so as a follow-up...(kind a thought someone would have replied by now ). I have whatever says a slim "149G" in the system info.
Anyway, I was considering that it might be my router. It's a 54 Mbps and ~5 plus years old. I removed the router and fed the modem straight to the PS3 and playback was quick and continuous. However, after I reinstalled the router it continued to play well over wireless. One might think that somehow the router and or modem were reset somehow by breaking the connection.I don't know. There might be some distinction between that change and the fact that the router and modem are power cycled just about every day that allowed it to play properly. Like maybe a table was rebuilt in the modem or something(the router will expect to be behind the modem but the modem doesn't always lead to router as was the case on this one occasion). I did all this without checking the app's current status beforehand. For all I know some other factor may have cleared up the issue before I began. So much for the diagnostic approach.
i have a 120gb ps3, wired connection. internet company clear wire. anyway my problem is that the subtitles will disappear and won't reappear until i restart the episode.
God I see bunch of rich people over here. 250GB? 160GB? That must be hell expensive. Anyway its working fine on my PS3 and I don't even need it lol. I just connect my computer to my TV directly and fits perfectly. 1080P on my TV woot.

My major problem is the app's instability. It's crashed on me numerous times, whether it be because I'm rewinding or pausing or changing videos. It's also crashed so hard that I've had to have my hard drive formatted twice now (as Sony told me it was the only course of action to fix my problem with not being able to access the XMB anymore.)
I signed up for a 1 month free trial a while ago and the app was really shaky at best, and while on my current 1 month trial the video playback errors are gone, but the instability is still there and more volatile than ever. I lost all of my game saves and it was insanely inconvenient. I hope that you resolve these issues in the near future as I'd love to pay for your service since it streams better on my PS3 than it does my PC, but until the crashing stops, my subscription will stop at the end of the 30 days.

Life or Death? The Emperor's PropositionProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
You are a prisoner sentenced to death. The Emperor offers you a chance to live by playing a simple game. He gives you 50 black marbles, 50 white marbles and 2 empty bowls. He then says, "Divide these 100 marbles into these 2 bowls. You can divide them any way you like as long as you use all the marbles. Then I will blindfold you and mix the bowls around. You then can choose one bowl and remove ONE marble. If the marble is WHITE you will live, but if the marble is BLACK... you will die."
How do you divide the marbles up so that you have the greatest probability of choosing a WHITE marble?
HintThe answer does not guarantee 100% you will chose a white marble, but you have a much better chance.
AnswerPlace 1 white marble in one bowl, and place the rest of the marbles in the other bowl (49 whites, and 50 blacks).
This way you begin with a 50/50 chance of choosing the bowl with just one white marble, therefore life! BUT even if you choose the other bowl, you still have ALMOST a 50/50 chance at picking one of the 49 white marbles.

Avril Lavigne is an amazing human being
If you can read Avril Lavigne's latest interview with Q Magazine without wanting to head butt your monitor then you're a stronger person than I am. Because I read this thing and all I wanted to do was start head butting monitors.
On dealing with her incredible success
"Selling 24 million albums hasn't really affected me, but it has changed things. I can't walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads, and I can only eat in certain restaurants where I know I won't get hassled. But that's OK. I was born to do this, and so I've learned how to cope."
On her competition
"Someone like Kelly Clarkson is beautiful and has a pretty voice, but with me you get a much stronger image. I'm tough, I have a look that girls want to copy, and I sound a particular way. It's good if you're not easily ignored. And I'm not."
On her generosity
"I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, 'Take it to Katrina!' I also like to give stuff to people who are my 'workers,' especially if they don't make much money."
On her polarizing personality
"People love me and people hate me, but I'm comfortable in my own skin and that's what counts. And anyway if you do hate me, you're the loser, not me."
Wow, what an amazing person. When that "hurricane thing" happened Avril filled boxes with crap and told her assistant to "take it to Katrina." The name of a hurricane. And she also likes to give stuff to her employees who don't make much money. I hear they were going to give her a humanitarian award but she was disqualified because they said it wasn't fair to the other nominees. Sometimes I get her confused with that Jesus character from the Bible because they're so similar.

It seems the West Coast of Scotland are getting the worst of it this week; facing continuous downpours and significant temperature drops while our English counterparts enjoy clear blue skies and summer heats.
Though here in the Highlands we expect a slightly cooler and wetter climate, we find ourselves worrying that our summer may already be over! Though the current forecast for the week ahead shows a slight promise of improvement.
Today: With the met office predicting difficult driving conditions due to persistent heavy rain fall, there isn't much to be hopeful for. However, the rain is expected to turn more showery as the day progresses.
Monday: Rain showers and brief sunny intervals follow on from a fairly dry morning, with temperatures climbing back up to the comfortable teens.
Tuesday: Things look to dry up today, with the rain seemingly taking a bit of a break and leaving us with a nice dry day with frequent bursts of sunshine.
Wednesday: The rain returns with a vengeance today, with heavy showers predicted to last through the morning and best of the afternoon. Though things may dry up in the evening.
Thursday: White clouds to dominate for the duration of the day, with things looking to remain dry.
Friday: More rain showers throughout with the odd sunny spell to brighten up the day
Saturday: The forecast looks to be mainly unchanged, with more showers ending the week.
So it looks like our wish for a long and warm summer has fallen on deaf ears, with only one day this week promising us a glimpse of sunshine. Though, of course, we here at Eriska are always prepared with a full stock of wellies and umbrellas to aid our guests in their ventures outside.
For those coming our way this week: do not fret! There are still plenty of things to do on and around the Island from the comfort of the indoors. Now would be a perfect time to tour the nearby distilleries and explore the different whiskeys on offer in celebration of Homecoming Scotland's Whisky Month.

The FDA will host a series of meetings during April, May and June to allow public input on the issue of antimicrobial use in animal agriculture. The agency is moving forward to implement its strategy to promote judicious use of drugs important in human medicine, and phasing in veterinary oversight of the therapeutic use of certain antimicrobials.
The meetings, which are jointly sponsored by FDA and the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, are scheduled for the following dates and locations:
- April 9, 2013, in Bowling Green, Ken.
- April 23, 2013, in Olympia, Wash.
- May 8, 2013, in Fort Collins, Colo.
- May 21, 2013, in Pierre, S.D.
- June 4, 2013, in College Station, Texas
Find details on times and specific locations for each meeting here.
Regardless of attendance at the public meetings, interested parties can submit either electronic or written comments on this issue. Details on FDA's proposals and directions for submitting comments are available on the Federal Register.
The agency has announced the following steps toward implementing their judicious use strategy:
- Issued a guidance for industry, entitled "Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobials in Food Producing Animals," which establishes the framework for phasing out production uses of antimicrobials important in treating humans, and phasing in veterinary oversight of the remaining therapeutic uses of such drugs.
- Issued a draft guidance that will assist drug companies seeking to voluntarily revise product labels to remove production uses and to voluntarily change the marketing status of these medically important antimicrobials to include veterinary oversight or supervision.
- Provided draft text for a proposed regulation intended to improve the efficiency of existing Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) requirements. VFD drugs are new animal drugs intended for use in or on animal feed which are limited to use under the professional supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
FDA acknowledges that the proposed change will have practical implications for livestock producers and veterinarians. Once the status of the product changes from OTC to Rx or VFD, producers will no longer be able to purchase the drug or medicated feed product directly from suppliers without a valid prescription or order from a licensed veterinarian. The impact of the proposed rules on individual veterinarians and producers will depend on the extent of existing relationships, producer access to veterinary services and veterinarians' practice models.
