Did you know?
This 4 000m² skate park was designed by 10-time World Skateboarding Champion Tony Hawk.
The Wave House Skatepark in Durban is a mecca for thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies, a one-of-a-kind destination for those requiring action and plenty of it.
This skateboarding park is sure to satisfy avid skateboarders, but it's not only skaters who flock to its attractions – even those who cannot balance on a board will find much to keep them entertained here.
The premier skateboarding venue in Durban, Wave House Skatepark was designed with input from top South African skateboarder Andrew Morck and world skateboarding champion Tony Hawk, making it the first port of call for professionals and amateurs alike.
Skateboarding novices can start out on the beginners' street area while those with more experience will find plenty to keep them occupied at the biggest skateboarding park in Africa, including a ramp for the real show-offs. Also on site is The Core Store, arguably the best-stocked skateboarding retail store in the country.
Though skateboarding is the main attraction at Wave House Skatepark, as the name suggests there's plenty of water action to satisfy the non-skaters too.
Wave House Skatepark boasts the largest man-made stationary wave in the world. The D-Rex – a 10-foot left and right point break wave – is a fusion of surfing, snowboarding, skating and wakeboarding that makes for one challenging ride.
Wave House also boasts two FlowRiders for family fun and the Wave House Tube Ride – four exciting water slides perfect for children and less action-orientated adults.
Those looking to get high will be more than satisfied with Wave House's indoor climbing wall – at 22.5m it's one of the highest in the world – while the Wave House events arena showcases music from South Africa and beyond.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2013 (1630 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In this column, we'll take a look at two different kinds of family-friendly TV fun -- one is an unscripted reality-competition series, and the other is a scripted reality-style show.
The actually unscripted offering -- the real reality show, if you will -- is YTV's Cache Craze. Inspired by the currently trendy recreational/adventure activity called geocaching, which involves using GPS devices to hunt for hidden containers called geocaches, Cache Craze is a TV adaptation that sets two-person teams of family members loose on a frantic race that mixes geocache searches with wacky stunts and games.
Actor/comedian Ryan Horwood serves as the series' host, injecting an element of dishevelled goofy-sidekick energy into the proceedings. The roster of two-person teams includes various familial combinations -- mother/daughter, father/son, grandmother/grandson, uncle/nephew, father/daughter and assorted sibling pairings -- and at first glance, it seems that some teams are suited to this sort of competition while others appear to have no chance of doing well in the game, which features the weekly elimination of the lowest scoring tandem.
Of particular note in the Cache Craze field is the team of former NHL player Brad May and his daughter, Samantha. He appears to still be in something approaching game shape, and there's no doubting his competitive fire once the race is underway.
Given that Cache Craze is composed of physical stunts that must be completed to earn points, as well as an against-the-clock foot race to find caches hidden around downtown Toronto, it'd be safer to bet on May and his daughter than, say, the grandma/grandson team.
Still, Cache Craze is a fairly engaging romp, despite the fact it sometimes gets bogged down in the complexity of its various stunts and games. It plays like a gentler and more modestly budgeted hybrid of The Amazing Race and Wipeout, and it's definitely the kind of show families can enjoy together and dream of one day signing up as contestants.
The not-quite-real "reality" show in this week's lineup is The Next Step, a new Family Channel series that's very much scripted but is set up to look like one of those day-in-the-life shows in which cameras follow the participants through their daily activities.
The Next Step is a homegrown Canadian production that follows a group of young dancers who train and compete at an elite studio called -- this makes sense -- The Next Step Dance Studio.
The cast is filled with very talented young dancers who play the parts of fictional talented dancers -- led by Alexandra Beaton, who plays the studio's resident mean girl, Emily, and Victoria Baldesarra, who portrays Michelle, a new arrival in town who shows up at an audition and immediately wins a coveted spot in the studio's A-Troupe, which simultaneously upsets Emily's exclusive clique and guarantees The Next Step a better shot at winning regionals.
There's lots of very impressive dancing in The Next Step, which makes the series pretty entertaining and inspiring. Unfortunately, the scripted elements -- which include regular use of "candid" on-camera comments from the dancers and studio owner Kate (Bree Wasylenko) and choreographer Chris (Shamier Anderson) -- prove to be quite clunky and never quite make the "reality" gimmick feel all that real.
Still, there's enough talent being showcased in The Next Step (including So You Think You Can Dance Canada winner Jordan Clark, who's a cast member) to make it worth a look. And if you do end up getting hooked, Family is also airing The Next Step Aftershow, which features a group of young panelists discussing episode storylines, introducing interactive polls and sharing behind-the-scenes footage from the series.

Canal Park Playhouse has announced Avner the Eccentric's return to New York with his show EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY, EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY begins performances on Friday, March 1 for a limited engagement through Sunday, March 25.

One the most accomplished physical comedy performers in the United States, Avner the Eccentric comes to Canal Park Playhouse with a spectacular show that upends the laws of physics! A master of the art of physical comedy, Avner weaves a spell of poetic simplicity in a show of hilarious predicaments. EXCEPTIONS TO GRAVITY is a reminder of the theatrical power that can reside in a single charismatic performer who touches the heart.
Avner Eisenberg's (Avner the Eccentric) one-man show, Avner the Eccentric, was a hit of the 1984-1985 Broadway season. He co-starred in Lincoln Center's production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and returned to Broadway in 1989 in a principal role in Ghetto. In regional theatre Avner has played both Estragon and Vladimir in Waiting For Godot, played the title role in R. Crumb Comix, and co-starred with his wife, Julie Goell, in the world premier of Zoo of Tranquility.
Avner's new show, Exceptions to Gravity has toured extensively all over the US and abroad. Avner has often played on subscription at regional theaters including Arena Stage, Trinity Rep, Actor's Theater of Louisville, The Empty Space, Indiana Rep, The Goodman Theater, Portland Stage, Merrimack Rep, Virginia Stage Company, Dallas Theater Center, Seacoast Rep, and San Jose Rep.
Avner is probably best known for his endearing portrayal of The Jewel, the scene-stealing holy man, in The Jewel of the Nile, co-starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. He was also featured in the film Brenda Starr and the television series Webster and Mathnet.
Avner is often a featured performer at comedy, magic and theatre festivals, including The Edinburgh Festival, the Israel Festival, and the Montreal International Comedy Festival. He has also appeared at the London International Mime Festival, the Festival of American Mime, the New York Clown Theatre Festival, the Fool's Festival, the New York Magic Symposium, the Hudson Clearwater Revival, and the International Movement Theatre Festival. Avner has won special jury awards at The International Festival du Cirque in Monte Carlo, Arosa International Humor Festival, Barcelona International Clown Festival, Leipzig Lach Messe, St Gervais International Theater Festival where he won both the public and the jury awards. Avner was recently inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame.
Avner is regularly featured on television specials throughout the world. He has been seen on the Paul Daniels Show and Packing Them In in Great Britain, on the NTV 35th Anniversary Special as well as numerous appearances on NHK in Japan, Sebastian C'est Fou, Le Plus Grande Cabaret du Monde, and Cabaret Sauvage in France, Un Dos Tres and theJuan Tamariz Special in Spain, Martes 13 in Chile, Ritmo de la Noche in Argentina, UNICEF Comedy Special in Italy, the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival on Showtime, and many more.
In 2004 Avner appeared for three months in a sold out run at Theatre Fontaine in Paris, and for a four week run at Teatro Alfil in Madrid in 2009-2010.
In addition to a busy performance schedule, Avner has taught master classes in clowning and Eccentric Performing in the United States, France, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Japan and Spain. He has developed silent theatre skills as a therapeutic tool and also teaches workshops for students and professionals in health care, education and counseling, as well as theatre.
Avner is the artistic director of Phyzgig, an annual festival of physical comedy, former President of the Board of Directors of the Celebration Barn Theater, and is on the Boards of Directors of Acorn Productions, and Etz Chaim Synagogue.

Juan 48 Motor Yacht
— By Capt. Bill Pike
— November 2003
The Compleat Express
|Everything's standard on this express-type lobster yacht—from flawless finish to thoroughbred performace.
"Holy smokes!" I exclaimed while pouring the coal to San Juan's new 48 Motor Yacht, a sleek, blue beauty with the styling machismo of a Maine lobster boat, the fit and finish of a jet-set Italian villa, and the engineering subtleties of a BMW 7-Series sedan. Did this baby perform or what? She was virtually leaping on plane!
A grin enlivened my countenance. In seconds the boat was swooping across the choppy surface of Fidalgo Bay like a low-flying fighter plane, with whitecaps blurring past, picturesque Anacortes, Washington, in the background, and her Series 60 MTUs purring away like big, contented 825-hp kittens. I glanced down at the readout on the Furuno NavNet. Top speed: 45 mph or thereabouts. I could hardly believe my eyes. Already? The sense of control I enjoyed—and the tranquil ambiance at the helm—were indicative of a much gentler pace.
A rousing turn seemed in order. With an index finger I rotated the destroyer-type wheel to starboard tentatively, then (quite satisfied with the result) spun it with a vengeance, ultimately carving a tight, foaming white crescent in the cold, blue waters of the bay. For the pure livin' heck of it, I then carved two more hard-over crescents and a half-dozen compact figure-eights, every one a joy. Such wholehearted agility, enlivened by a constant sense of seamless solidity underfoot, was more fun than a barrel of boat-show tickets, of course, but it was also evocative of a strong, integrated approach to construction.
The 48 is composed of just four basic parts: hull, deck, interior liner, and superstructure. All are vacuum-infused using pricey E-glass, CoreCell coring, a high-end hybrid epoxy-vinylester resin, and in the hull alone, lots of impact-resistant Kevlar. Combine such a highly technical, lightweight assemblage into a single, unibody chunk, add four, cored-glass, watertight structural bulkheads, a PVC foam-filled E-glass stringer grid, and a box-type hull-to-deck joint, both chemically bonded and mechanically fastened, and what results is a sensation of pure, velvet-gloved brawn underway, despite the boat having a mere 32,000-pound displacement.
But construction's not the entire story. The 48's propulsion system also plays a major role in her performance. Rather than the waterjets and computerized joystick-type engine controls that hallmark boats from competing companies, San Juan opts for a straightforward approach: inboard diesels routed through close-coupled V-drives to straight shafts, with big props in tunnels and big rudders for lots of steering control, especially in following seas. Single-lever DDEC electronic sticks at the helm put the finishing touches on the package.
Drivetrain simplicity alone has little to do with the smoothness of the 48's open-water ride or her cornering agility, however. Instead, the key is the savvy way the system was designed, built, and installed. Consider, for example, the 7'5" breadth between the props, as well as the rudders, a design element that boosts turning leverage and maneuvering oomph big-time. And then, not only does the boat's Marol rotary-actuated hydraulics make steering fingertip easy, the system mechanically blocks rudder chatter from the helm and obviates wheel creep, in turns as well as on the straightaway. To further enhance smoothness, rudder stocks are stabilized in gutsy stainless steel fabrications bolted into stainless steel plates that are laminated into massive hull foundations during the infusion process. And the standard-issue, computer-balanced Austral propellers on our test boat were top-shelfers. Teamed up with prop shafts hand-picked by San Juan's engineers with the reported fussiness of operating-room technicians, they helped make the ride as vibration-free as it was fast.
Next page > Part 2: The San Juan's machinery spaces were masterfully done too. > Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
Note: The U.S. Federal Government has banned the sale of ephedra since 2004. Ephedra may cause serious adverse effects at any dose, particularly when used with other drugs, such as caffeine. Because of serious safety concerns, ephedra cannot be suggested in any dose.
Traditionally, herbalists have suggested a wide range of doses (8-100 milligrams ephedra by mouth three times daily). Previously, over-the-counter drugs containing ephedra advised taking 12.5-25 milligrams ephedra by mouth every four to six hours and not to exceed 150 milligrams in 24 hours.
For allergic nasal symptoms, a 1% ephedrine-saline liquid has been used as a nose wash every 48 hours for four weeks.
For athletic performance enhancement, 1 milligram of ephedrine per kilogram body weight has been taken by mouth 90 minutes prior to exercise once weekly for four weeks.
For low blood pressure, 5-45 milligrams ephedrine has been injected into the vein or muscle.
For sexual arousal, 50 milligrams of ephedrine sulfate has been taken by mouth prior to exposure to erotic stimuli.
For weight loss, 2 grams of ephedra extract has been taken by mouth three times daily for eight weeks, 20-50 milligrams of ephedrine has been taken by mouth three times daily for 2-3 months.
Ephedrine is not recommended in children due to the risk of toxicity and death.
For asthma, 24-25 milligrams ephedrine or 0.65-2.1 milligrams ephedrine per kilogram has been taken by mouth every 6-8 hours for 1-8 weeks.

Adnan Oktar's Comments on Various Subjects
Highlights from Adnan Oktar's talk programs
ADNAN OKTAR: There need to be talks with Syria without delay, and Assad needs to be brought, very kindly and without giving offense, to Turkey. THERE CAN BE PEOPLE FROM HIS GOVERNMENT, TOO. A COALITION GOVERNMENT CAN BE SET UP. LET US ABOLISH THE BORDERS. LET US DO AWAY WITH PASSPORTS AND VISAS. Let us unite with Syria. As simple as that. Let there be an immediate military, political and economic pact. We can celebrate with pipes and drums. Let Assad come with all his family. Their lives and property will be entrusted to us, by Allah's leave. Nothing will happen to them. Let private talks be held with Assad.
30.06.2012 / Habervaktim.com
During the Geneva Meeting on Syria, the UN and Arab League's Joint Special Envoy, Kofi Annan, stated that the participant countries agreed on a transitional government to be set up in Syria to establish peace within the country.
This transitional government in question is supposed to include members of the present administration, opponents and other groups and built up depending on common accord. Mr. Annan also added that the Syrian people are now in charge of deciding the future of their country and all parts of Syrian society need to be included in the national dialogue process.

I think the place would be the same across the board: aim for the thickest part which is, I think, between the thigh and the main body of the bird.
If it is hot enuf there, it is well cooked elsewhere.
It will continue to cook once taken off the grill.
Technically, you could stop at about 5 degrees before done, but I don't like taking chances with chicken.

J.W. Anderson Pre-Fall 2012
With its stiff, full, neoprene-and-vinyl A-line skirts, big windowpane-checked sweaters, quilted jackets, squishy leather bucket hats, and mad creeper-soled loafers, J.W. Anderson's debut for pre-fall is stylistically spot-on as a subverted, tom-girl take on the preppy-bourgeois feel that is bubbling up all over the place. "I wanted to expand on the things that did very well in my spring collection—the biker jackets, the paisleys and knits—but have the chance to refine them and make them better," Anderson said. In other words, these are "house classics"—even if they're from a young designer who's only just about to graduate to London's official runway schedule in February.
If you skipped back a year, it would have been almost impossible to imagine a new London designer like Jonathan Anderson putting out a pre-fall collection (who'd even heard of "pre-fall" anyway?). Still, lest we forget, Anderson is the designer who helped trigger the current pajama-ish mania with his printed-paisley tops and trousers last winter (far more established designers than he used paisley, and matching trouser-and-shirt sets in the following season). So far, he may only have taken beginners' steps in two presentation-scale showings within the New Gen scheme, but his natural talent for distilling ideas into authentically cool but simple pieces means he's already punching well above his weight as an influencer. It's put the young, ambitious Northern Irishman on a surreally accelerated career path where the clamor for his things from girls in China, America, and Europe (in that order) means retailers have come to him asking for more. Hence, "pre-fall."
How did he get to this point, though? It's telling that Anderson started out as a visual display assistant at Prada—that ability to condense a look, as well as the undercurrent of frumpy chic in this collection, do betray echoes of that background. But let's not carp too hastily about the progress of one so young: This interim collection is so well-styled, and so accessible, it can only serve to ramp up the anticipation of his first full-fledged runway show. It will open London's fashion week for fall.

For the second time in less than a year, a popular East Dallas gym owned by Baylor Health Care System is under fire for blatantly discriminating against gay couples.
Last May, a gay couple filed a discrimination complaint against the Tom Landry Fitness Center, which has a stated policy of refusing to offer family memberships to same-sex couples. The couple's complaint was filed under a city of Dallas ordinance that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations.
However, the couple later withdrew the complaint after they said city officials told them the Tom Landry Fitness Center may be exempt from the ordinance because it's a private club.
Now, another gay couple plans to file its own discrimination complaint against the Fitness Center if the policy isn't reversed. Alan Rodriguez, who recently moved to Dallas with his partner of 10 years, says he was told by the director of the Fitness Center that Baylor defines family as "one man and one woman."
Rodriguez, who's renovating a home on Gaston Avenue with his partner, said he chooses to live and work in Dallas largely because of the ordinance prohibiting anti-gay discrimination. He also said he goes to the Fitness Center for allergy shots and considers the gym a "neighborhood friend," but was shocked to learn about the family membership policy.
"It is clear Baylor has taken the position to discriminate against gay people with respect to family gym membership. It is also clear Baylor has a regimented policy excluding domestic partners from the definition of 'family,'" Rodriguez wrote Tuesday in a letter to a Baylor executive that was also sent to Instant Tea. "Therefore, I must conclude your organization also believes it lawful to discriminate against gay people regarding other medical services. Clearly, your organization considers this policy a legal form of discrimination. It remains unclear the extent to which this policy permeates all Baylor operations. Such draconian and bigoted practices are unthinkable in 2011."

Hi.

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!
There is a strong connection between mental pictures and emotions. If you visualize something happy, you will feel happier and if you visualize something sad, you will start to feel sad. Here is one way to take advantage of this phenomenon.
Pick a goal that you want to achieve. You may want to start with a small goal and work your way up to bigger goals as you gain practice with this technique. Let's say that your goal is to go bowling and get two strikes in a row. Close your eyes and picture yourself bowling. Try to involve all of your senses. How does the bowling alley sound? What does the ball feel like? Do you notice particular smells? Visualize yourself getting the two strikes in a row. Pay attention to your feelings and recognize how much you will enjoy achieving this goal. This visualization will help your mind prepare for achieving the goal.

Morinville photo radar call begins
Wednesday, Jun 18, 2014 06:00 am
Morinville town council has put out a call for a new photo enforcement contractor, and wants to hear from residents how to regulate whomever is hired.
Council signed off on its request for proposals for a new photo enforcement contractor last week. The document acts as a �help wanted� ad outlining what the town wants from a photo enforcement company.
The town�s contract with its current provider, Independent Traffic Services (ITS), is currently being renewed on a monthly basis.
The document is based on nine similar requests made by local communities and feedback from the town�s traffic safety advisory committee, said David Schaefer, the town�s director of corporate operations.
Any photo enforcement company can send in an application, he emphasized.
�It has not been written based on a current service provider,� he said, referring to ITS.
As the contract is worth more than $75,000, it is also regulated by the province�s Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) with B.C. and Saskatchewan.
Successful applicants will use technology that has been proven before Alberta courts and useable in low light conditions, Schaefer said � i.e. radar-capable, as laser does not work in low light.
�We�re looking for technology that�s kind of all-encompassing.�
The document also says that the provider should be able to provide red-light and stop sign enforcement � something not covered by the town�s current enforcement program.
Applicants must �meet and preferably exceed� all provincial regulations for photo enforcement, provide speed display signs and a local number for public inquiries.
The draft proposal initially required all applicants to provide a �turn-key� operation � one where they would do all their own administrative work.
When Coun. Stephen Dafoe noted that this would exclude the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, administration agreed to strike this requirement.
Council will pick a proposal this September, Schaefer said. If it doesn�t like any of them, it can turn them all down and set up its own in-house enforcement program.
Coun. Nicole Boutestein encouraged residents to come to the Higher Grounds coffee shop June 25 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. to tell council how this new photo enforcement program should run.
�It doesn�t matter if you�re for or against it. We want to hear what you have to say on how we can improve it.�

A stab victim is recovering in hospital after being knifed in a fight in Thornton Heath
Members of the public alerted police on patrol to the fight between a group of men in Brigstock Road at about 8pm on Saturday.
When officers arrived at the scene they found a man in his 20s who was suffering from a stab wound.
He was taken to a south London hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
A Croydon police spokesman said his injury is minor.
A shop owner on Brigstock Road said: "This used to be a nice area but it is fast changing into something else.
"I didn't see what happened but I heard about it, apparently they were stabbed in the neck.
"It is not good at all, we should be pushing this kind of stuff out of society.
"I know a lot of people who have left the area due to incidents like this."
One resident said: "I am shocked. It makes me worried about my kids to go out in the street.
"It is horrible to hear stuff like this happen, I saw the police on Saturday but I didn't know what had happened. I suppose this is the way society is going.
'It is sad and it is not a good feeling to know someone has been hurt where you work and live."
One shopkeeper, near London Road, said: "All the road was cordoned off, I thought there had been an accident but was told by a policeman there had been a stabbing.
"There was a car on the side so I think it must have started at the top of the road then ended up further down the road.
"It is sad and it is not a good feeling to know someone has been hurt where you work and live."
Any witnesses to the stabbing are asked to call the police on 101.

Been a long time "lurker" and decided to join the fun. Let me first say I've picked up some good techniques and recipes from all of you. Truly talented cooks on this board!
Decided to do some ribs a couple of weeks ago. After buying some loin backs, I was told a friend recently had a pig slaughtered. Went and got some meat and decided some fresh sausage and a big slice of ham would be a good compliment to the ribs.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and your feedback!

The Perfect Holiday Cookie
Make this yummy treat in minutes!
-Nancy Byal and Jan Turner Hazard
The foodies who are better known as the Gadget Gals, Nancy Byal and Jan Turner Hazard, test kitchenware and appliances on their website, www.kitchengadgetgals.com. This season, they're going beyond equipment and publishing The Gadget Gals' Holiday Cookie Cookbook, an e-book of twenty recipes that will wow friends and family. (The book can be ordered at www.kitchengadgetgals.com for $4.95 through PayPal.) Here's one of their favorite recipes:
Browned Butter Sugar Cookies
Believe us, taking the time to brown the butter is worth the effort. It takes one of the best-loved cookies of all times to a new, magically rich flavor level. We used different-sized star cutters, but use any holiday shapes you like.-Nan and Jan
Helpful Tools
Small and large skillets
Electric mixer and bowl
Baking mat and rolling pin
Cookie cutters
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar (not sifted)
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Browned Butter Icing (instructions below)
Sparkling decorator's sugar (optional)
1. In a 10-inch skillet, melt 12 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Continue heating butter, swirling pan constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until butter is a dark gold brown. Remove from heat. Pour browned butter into mixer bowl; add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir to melt. Let stand 15 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. Add sugar to butter in mixer bowl; beat on low speed until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla until mixture is well combined. Add flour mixture; beat until combined.
4. Divide dough in half; wrap and chill 15 to 30 minutes until dough is cool and still pliable. Do not overchill.
5. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll half the dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters, rerolling dough as needed. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheets to wire rack; cool thoroughly.
6. Frost with Browned Butter Icing and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired (we used white and pink). Let dry on wire racks. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
To make Browned Butter Icing: Place 2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar in a mixing bowl. In a small skillet melt 5 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium-high heat; continue to cook, swirling pan constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until a dark golden brown. Do not overbrown. Remove from heat. Pour butter into bowl of sugar; add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons water to make a thin icing. Use icing immediately; stir occasionally to keep icing from forming a skin on top. If icing thickens while frosting cookies, heat icing in microwave for about 10 seconds, then stir.
GadgetGals Tip: A skillet with a light-colored interior is preferable for browning the butter so you can judge when the color is a dark golden brown. Once the butter starts to brown, the color changes quickly, so watch it carefully to avoid burning. Remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the butter reaches the desired color, since it will continue to cook slightly.

CHARGE FOR A CURE - Join Today!
Last Game: 2
March Total: 7
2011-12 Season Total: 45
Penn WBB Twitter | WBB Facebook
PHILADELPHIA - For the third straight year, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team and its fans will raise money through the Charge for a Cure program. Money is raised with every charge the Quakers take during the 2012-13 season.
In the program's first two years, 109 gracious donors joined the cause and helped the Quakers raise nearly $7,000. Combined with other initiatives, including the Pink Zone game and the 'Pack the House' Challenge, the Quakers have raised more than $12,000 over the past two seasons.
Here is how it works: At the end of each month, the coaching staff will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team. Fans can pledge a donation per offensive charge, typically $1 per charge for the season. Money is collected at the end of the year, and dispersed to each foundation based on the money raised during the foundation's corresponding month.
Here is who benefits: The team will send a check to the respective organizations listed below.
November (4 games) - The Michael J. Fox Foundation (Parkinson's Disease)
December (6 games) - Go4theGoal (Pediatric Cancer)
January (5 games) - American Cancer Society
February (8 games) - Dave Bryan Ride on Fund (ALS)
March (5 games) -Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America
Here is how to join: Please join the women's basketball team as it looks to make a difference in the lives of the people that these diseases affect every day. To join the team in Charge for a Cure, contact assistant coach Kara Cassidy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

How Do You Reach Hispanics? – Television
As early as 2002, the Spanish-language television network Univision was beating out all other stations — English and Spanish — in the New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles markets in 18- to 34-year-olds throughout the day. More »
There's More than One Way to Skin a Gato – Part 3
Small potatoes ratings-wise, right?
Well, you might want to consider this.
As early as 2002, the Spanish-language television network Univision was beating out all other stations in the New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles markets in 18- to 34-year-olds throughout the day.
That's all other stations —
English and Spanish.
And in all three markets, Univision's early evening local news drew more 18- to 34-year-olds than ABC, CBS, and NBC.
By 2004, Univision's North Carolina station, WUVC-TV, beat ABC and NBC outright and tied with CBS for the Number One spot in the highly desirable 18- to 34-year-old male segment.
Which means that as many men 18 to 34 were watching telenovelas on WUVC as were watching Everybody Loves Raymond or CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on WRAL.
In October 2004, the final episode of a Univision telenovela delivered more 18- to 49-year-old viewers than ABC, CBS, FOX, WB, or UPN.
And in July 2006, Univision scored another impressive landmark.
Its 18- to 34-year-old viewership in prime time beat every network but FOX.
For an entire week.
Top-rated English-language shows may not even register among Hispanics.
In fact, in 2005 only four English-language shows made it into the top 40 among Latino viewers: American Idol ranked highest at 29, with Desperate Housewives, CSI, and The Simpsons trailing behind.*
And Univision is not alone.
Spanish-language television is expanding and targeting specific niches within the larger Latino market.
In fact, today more than 70 cable and dozens of local independent stations offer Spanish-language programming.
Which is good for advertisers.
Because it means we can target Latinos more precisely for you.
:: :: ::
Next time we'll talk about whether you should advertise in English or Spanish.
And why it makes a difference.
Stay tuned.

In ten days time Nato's leaders will gather in Wales for their bi-annual summit. There is certainly plenty to discuss at Celtic Manor – Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan and of course the continued inadequacy of defence spending which is leaving the military in many countries unable to fulfill all their stated commitments.
But tucked away in one bland paragraph of the draft communiqué now being circulated is a brief reference to energy security. Let's hope there is substance behind the words.
Energy policy remains strictly a matter for national governments but the risks arise from the fact that many countries are dependent on imports for large proportions of their daily supplies. Forty years ago the risk came from the growth of oil imports and a reliance on Opec suppliers. Now the risk is an interruption of natural gas supplies. Gas has become progressively more important as a source for electricity production and for heating. The US and Canada are well supplied thanks to the development of shale gas, but Europe is not. Indigenous production in the UK and Dutch sectors of the North Sea has fallen sharply and Europe has slipped into a position where 70 per cent of its daily imports of gas come from Russia.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/7/2012 (1856 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONDON -- Two-piece or not two-piece: That is the question.
Chilly weather and evening matches at the London Olympics may force a coverup in beach volleyball -- from bikinis to long johns.
"We need it to keep our muscles warm," Australian competitor Tamsin Hinchley said Sunday. "It's an extremely strenuous sport."
Yes, but let's get real. Long sleeves and leggings aren't exactly the main draw for lots of beach volleyball fans.
Asked if she thought it would be a turnoff for some fans, Hinchley said no, she thought the atmosphere would still be rocking at Horse Guards Parade.
"The regulations are that it's tight-fitting, so if that's what you're there for, whatever."
Actually, they'll probably need it. Some beach volleyball matches are set to go late into the evening, when temperatures will drop.
And the gear has already been a common -- even if not entirely popular -- sight on the world beach volleyball tour this year. It's now part of the uniform, Hinchley said.
"Obviously we're that sport, we're the sport that wears the bikinis and we're the sport that's physically out there," she said. "But we're jumping and running and sliding on the sand. We'll be using it (cold-weather gear) to benefit us physically. We'll definitely be taking it."
Hinchley will partner with 2000 gold medallist Natalie Cook at the Olympics, where beach volleyball will be played at the ceremonial parade ground in central London that is more used to formal military displays featuring soldiers in scarlet buttoned jackets and bearskin hats.
The famous Horse Guards Parade location, as well as the skimpy bikinis, shorts and sleeveless T-shirts, will likely make it one of the hottest tickets.
Organizers hope the weather will co-operate as they try to bring a slice of sunny Santa Monica or Sydney's Bondi Beach to what has been a rainy central London.
Down the road from Big Ben, across the river from London Eye and a stone's throw from the prime minister's Downing Street residence, toned and tanned men and women will be diving across the 5,000 tonnes of sand imported from a quarry just outside the city.
Beach volleyball has grown rapidly since it became a medal event at the 1996 Atlanta Games. About 500,000 fans are expected for about 100 matches.
All that's needed now is some bikini weather.
-- The Associated Press
Looking forward to boos
THE Canadian beach volleyball duo of Marie-Andre Lessard and Annie Martin expect to have few fans when they open the Olympics on July 29 -- against Great Britain.
"If there are 15,000 people in the stadium, 14,999 will probably be cheering against us," said Lessard.
The Canadians enter the competition ranked 71st in the world, while Britain's Shauna Mullin and Zara Dampney are 70th.
"It's a privilege to play Great Britain first up," said Lessard. "Not everyone is going to get the opportunity to play in front of that crowd. We're both looking forward to it."

cfaalm - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkHow can you tell if your current PSU would be able to deliver Haswell's requested 0.05A on the 12V rail? Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkStarting with nothing connected to the PSU, connect something with a 0.05W load to the 12v rail of the PSU (for older split rail designs, the rail the 12V CPU plug is on), use the paperclip trick to jump the PSU on, and use a multi-meter to measure the 12V being given to your load. ATX spec is +-5% tolerance.
paperclip trick: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/22 Reply
cfaalm - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkForget that. I just found a nice list that doesn't mention my current PSU. Reply
bebimbap - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkMost companies probably will not test all of their PSUs that have ever been produced. These companies will do a cost/benefit analysis and see which PSUs are still profitable to test. Currently selling models and previous flagship models will probably make the list. Sometimes it's a good idea to pay for the best. Good luck everyone. Reply
eBob - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkThe way I would go about this is to use a variable resistor and at least one multimeter (ideally 2). Set up the variable resistor in series with a multimeter set for current between the 12V rail and common. Use a paper clip to turn jump the PSU on. Adjust the variable resistor until you measure 0.05 A (or 50 mA), then read the voltage between the 12V rail and common. If the voltage is above 12.6V (or below 11.4V), then your power supply is not capable of properly delivering the 0.05A. I would guess that most likely the voltage would read high rather than low.

xath - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkPSU manufacturer be quiet! is also confirming through their forum in http://www.be-quiet.net/forum/showthread.php?823-H... that their Straight Power, Dark Power, and Pure Power L8 series are Haswell compatible. Reply
cmatt85 - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkFor many builders I imagine this will be a non issue. As long as your PSU is single rail, and you have A dedicated GPU, The GPU should pull plenty from the 12V rail to meet the old spec.
In fact if I had to guess, I think just the motherboard, and a few system fans should raise easily the load to the old ATX spec. Reply
cmatt85 - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - link*easily raise Reply
Egg - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkIsn't the whole point deep sleep states? When all those things would be powered down? Reply
cmatt85 - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkNo. We already had S1(sleep) The new states, are low power states for the CPU(S0) while the computer is on. Reply
MarkLuvsCS - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkNo surprise pretty much SeaSonic's entire lineup is up able to hold even higher standards. Why buy the second best when SeaSonic hits ~$100 for their X-series i'll never understand. Reply
BMNify - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkIf Seasonic could get their coil whine under control I'd be more inclined to buy another one of their products. Reply
MarkLuvsCS - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkThey're easy as pie to RMA too. I still haven't had trouble with any coil whine in the past 5 X series I've bought - 3 x650, and 2 x750s. Reply
Razorbak86 - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkI've got three Seasonics -- 650W Gold, 750W Gold, and 1000W Platinum -- and they are all virtually silent (especially in hybrid mode). I have never heard even a hint of coil whine on any of the units. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkDon't ask me why, but when I was building my box, the Corsair AX850 was cheaper than the Seasonic X-850 its based on at the time... Reply
Laststop311 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI'm glad i splurged and went with the ax860i 80+ platinum with the corsair link integration since i also got the corsair h100i. Unparalleled monitoring abilities and now the added benefit of working properly with haswell. And to think I almost went with a 550 watt diablotek PDA series modular 80+ bronze since it was only 50 dollars and had a lot of features. Thank god for the corsair link monitoring convincing me to splurge. I know there is a 760 but the extra 100 watts for the ax860i was only an extra 20 dollars so I figured why not If i ever go 2x GPU i'll have plenty of power. Probably can handle 3x gpu no problem even maybe not 3x titans but 3x gtx 680's no problem. I'd heavily doubt in myself ever going to 2x gpu's. Everyone knows 1 super powered gpu is better then 2x lesser gpu's even if the 2x lesser gpu's can theoretically provide more power as gaming is just smoother and 1 card. Love the GTX titan.
Why am I even posting, the i7-980x 32nm Gulftown platform won't even be upgraded to haswell in the core i7-4960x. For some reason the enterprise cpu's with quad channel memory have the same series 4 number as the mainstream haswell but enterprise is 1 generation behind. So as the i7-3960x is sandy bridge-e even though the i7-3 series is supposed to by Ivy the next gen 4 series does the same. I'm guessing they keep the enterprise cpu's a generation behind to be sure the process is mature and reliable and error free.
I don't think I will be upgrading until they put an 8 core 16 thread into their higher end consumer socket. Doesn't look like this is coming in Ivy Bridge-E on the i7-4960x. Lets Hope Haswell-E i7-5960x can bring us 8c/16t christmas 2014. This i7-980x has had incredible staying power. I've got it liquid cooled with a corsair h100i with 4 high static pressure noctua fans in push/pull and it runs at a constant 4.26Ghz while staying at 76-78C under full load 100% with hyperthreading disabled I can bump it to 4.40ghz full time oc. I mostly leave it at 4.40ghz and 6c/6t. Only incredibly well multithreaded things like digital media encoding rly benefit from having more than 6 threads and usually the extra mhz boosts most things more than hyperthreading. Reply
Laststop311 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkBasically until the high end intel chips at max oc can beat an i7-980x at max oc (4.26ghz) by at least a 75% gain The 3960x gets about 4.7ghz reliably 10% IPC gain from 980x to 3960x 10% faster clock speed so the 3960x is only about 20% faster than the 980x both maxed oc so unless the 4960x is an insane overclocker i won't be reaching the +75% gain I need to switch from the i7-980x and since its ivy we already pretty much know it's going to OC to a little less than the sandy unless they switch the solder back then it will oc the same as sandy so thats 4.7ghz best case. Which is only a total of a 30% performance gain. I'm doubting even haswell-E in Q4 2014 or Q1 2015 will even push me into the +75% gained. I'm still amazed at how long this system has stayed with near top performance levels. 3.25 years already under it's belt and it's got atleast another 2 years but more like 3 more years until it will need to be replace. 6.25 years of staying near the top of the pack when compared to the average comp. Sure it was a 1000 dollar chip but when u spread that over 6.25 years it's only 160 a year or 40 every quarter of a year.
Back in the day with tech evolving so quickly it wasnt very smart to pay a ton for the highest end chip as the next year the newer chips low end blew away the previous gens high end. I think that's where a lot of older people haven't changed their thinking. They still go for lower end chips with new upgrades every gen. You think you are saving money but nowadays you are best off getting the very high top end chip and holding onto the mobo cpu combo for 5,6,7,8,9 years. Each generation the tiny 10% performance boost is nothing like the 100% performance boost we used to get each gen. That's why you can hold the chip so many years as it takes that long to get the performance jump we were used to getting every year. Go for the top end chip, splurge the cash up front now and rake in the savings by not needing a new cpu/mobo/ram for 7ish years or more. Reply
psuedonymous - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkLuckily, even if your PSU is 'not compatible', you can just turn off the lowest C6/C7 idle modes and things will work fine. All you lose is that minimum CPU idle power goes from ~0.1W to ~10W. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkIf your power supply is DC-DC (12v rail is converted into 5 and 3) then it will be fine. There's always load on the 12v that way.. Reply
gevorg - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkWhat about Seasonic X-560? Reply
Beenthere - Sunday, May 26, 2013 - linkDustin - Seasonic is one word, not two. Reply
Razorbak86 - Monday, May 27, 2013 - linkActually, both spellings are correct. It depends on whether you are referring to the parent corporation or the US subsidiary.
"Seasonic USA was established in 2002 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sea Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. in Taiwan to develop retail channels and to grow Seasonic as a premier retail brand in the US and Canada. Both marketing and technical support are provided by Seasonic USA."

"My wedding is navy blue and gold, so these will match perfectly. I believe I changed the Table font to navy blue. The design is exactly what I was looking for, and is simple enough to not make tables look too busy. Thank you!"
"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I don't have anything to say but thanks for your beautiful work. I've been your client for several months and my satisfaction is over the top :)"

A FATHER-and-son team from Malvern braved "horrendous" conditions during a fundraising cycle ride in and around London.
David Toye, aged 72, and Matthew Toye, 42, had signed up to the Prudential Ride 100 to raise money for the charity Breast Cancer Care.
But on the day, weather conditions, affected by the tail-end of Hurricane Bertha, were so bad that 14 miles were cut out of the course by anxious race organisers.
"This was a pity, though it proved to be the correct decision as the day unfolded," said Mr Toye, who lives in Upper Welland.
"Former British cycling champion Chris Boardman described on BBC the storm conditions as 'torrential, becoming biblical before turning horrendous'. He and I both rode in the event and I would not argue with his view."
Rain hammered down for the first half of the course, not only soaking riders to the skin, but making cycling conditions hazardous.
However, the rain lifted after the riders turned back from Surrey towards central London, and David and Matthew finished together in The Mall after 13 hours and 53 minutes.
"The power and volume of support on The Mall cannot be captured on TV, nor are there words to describe it," said Mr Toye, "I can only say that the rhythmic drum-beat sound, made by thousands of fists on the bill boarding, seems to go right through you."
The two raised £3,200, twice their initial target, for the cancer charity. They were inspired after David Toye's wife, Christina, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, although she has now made a good recovery.
Mr Toye said he wants to thank everyone who supported them, especially the Worcester St John's Cycle Club, with whom he rode 2,000 miles in training for the challenge.

A monumental sigh
Latest Clooney offering a collosal waste
Saturday, Feb 15, 2014 06:00 am
Stars: 0.0
Starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville and Bob Balaban
Directed by George Clooney
Written by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, based on the book by Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter
Rated: PG for profanity and some violence. See www.albertafilmratings.ca for more information.
Runtime: 118 minutes
Now playing at Grandin Theatres, Cineplex Odeon North Edmonton and Scotiabank Theatre
It comes with a special level of disappointment and disgust that I attended a screening of The Monuments Men and left the theatre before the movie was even over, muttering profanities not so much under my breath.
With all of my eager anticipation for the moment � the grand casting, the once deft voice of screenwriter Grant Heslov, and the ultimately important and compelling subject matter � I was left mocking it all and very sad indeed about the whole affair.
This was a movie on which I had placed no small amount of hope. Monuments Men had every opportunity to offer something to the world. Tragically, it squandered all of them. It�s like it won a fortune and spent it all dollar by dollar on video lottery machines. What a colossal waste.
The story is a retelling of the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. It�s a non-fiction account of the modest troop of non-military American cultural personnel during the Second World War. There was Frank Stokes (co-writer/director/star George Clooney), who assembled the team of architects, artists and art aficionados of all sorts including James Granger (Matt Damon), Richard Campbell (Bill Murray), Walter Garfield (John Goodman), Jean Claude Clermont (Jean Dujardin), Donald Jeffries (Hugh Bonneville) and Preston Savitz (Bob Balaban).
Joining Granger was Claire Simone (Cate Blanchett), perhaps the briefest character to grace this movie and the only one portrayed with sufficient competency as to be believable. Blanchett, at the least, understands the nuances of accents and dialects. At the most, she gets how acting should be about not trying so hard to act. Are you listening, Georgy and Matty?
Blanchett aside, The Monuments Men is an inconsequential and egregious bastardization of an important story about the monumental value of art to a particular culture and to the world in general. The weight of the tale is given short shrift by Clooney, perhaps the most smug, self-aggrandizing and really ridiculously good-looking man on the planet who can charm and smarm his way into any situation.
Any viewer might easily think this movie is a love letter to the selfless and brave few who risked all to fight for and save so many cultural artifacts but it�s really a love letter from Clooney to himself. He adds as much pompous voiceover narration as he can get away with while wearing a helmet in as many non-helmet appropriate scenes, just to show that his character really was putting his life on the line, nary a bullet ever shot in a scene featuring Mr. Dignified Grey Hair Clooney himself.
What a superficial and artificial waste of time, money and celluloid. This is a movie that would have been much improved without the benefit of star power or dialogue. The lame dialogue (provided by longtime collaborator Grant Heslov) is entirely dragged through the mud. Things would be improved greatly if this was a silent film. I haven�t even mentioned the brutal American nationalist sentimentalism that�s poured over the entire finished product like a layer of chemical syrup over too many bleached white flour pancakes.
I was nauseated throughout the whole experience. Even the fantasy of coming across a stolen Rembrandt, Renoir, Vermeer or Rodin was stultified by some characters blathering about this or that. Most times I couldn�t be bothered to pay attention to their nonsense. Even if some of the cinematography is meant to call to mind such classical works, it was all for naught. The old masters are not just rolling over in their graves at the thought of this atrocity. They are rallying and rebelling.
This is a drama overtaken by a camp comedy directed by a pretentious, preening, prancing pony. I imagine that Clooney meant to do a better job if only he could have stopped looking at himself in the mirror long enough to stand behind the camera and see what an absurdist farce was unfolding where a weighty and tender thought piece should have been.
Audiences should expect more from filmmakers, especially those, like Clooney, who think so much of themselves.

What is the body clock?
body's "biological clock," or 24-hour cycle (circadian rhythm), can be affected by light or darkness, which can make the body
think it is time to sleep or wake up. The 24-hour body clock controls functions
such as:
How are body clock problems and sleep problems connected?
Body clock sleep problems have been
linked to a hormone called
melatonin. Light and dark affect how the body makes
melatonin. Most melatonin is made at night. During the day, light tells your
body to make less melatonin. If you work at night in artificial light, your
body may be making less melatonin than it needs.
Some people—such
as those who can't sleep until very late and those who go to bed very
early—have circadian (say "ser-KAY-dee-un") rhythms that are different from those of most people. Other people with sleep problems may have regular
circadian rhythms but have to adjust them to new situations, such as working a
night shift.
What sleep problems are related to problems with your body clock?
Things that may affect
melatonin production and can cause sleep problems include:
Other sleep problems related to the body clock
How can you treat sleep problems related to your body clock?
How you treat a sleep problem related to
your body clock depends on what is causing the problem. Here are some tips for
the most common problems.
Jet lag
Taking melatonin supplements may help reset your body clock. Studies
show that melatonin has reduced the symptoms of jet lag for people flying both
east and west.1
Suggestions about times
and dosages vary among researchers who have studied melatonin. Doctors
recommend that you:
The safety and effectiveness of melatonin have not been
thoroughly tested. Taking large doses of it may disrupt your sleep and make you
very tired during the day. If you have epilepsy or are taking blood thinners
such as coumadin (Warfarin), talk to your doctor before you use melatonin.
The sleeping pills eszopiclone (Lunesta) and zolpidem (Ambien) have been studied for jet lag. They may help you sleep despite jet lag if you
take them before bedtime after you arrive at your destination. Side effects include headaches, dizziness, confusion, and
feeling sick to your stomach.
For more information on jet lag, see:
Shift work
If you work
the night shift or rotate shifts, you can help yourself get good sleep by
keeping your bedroom dark and quiet and by taking good care of yourself
