The changing of seasons may result in seasonal Vitamin D deficiency in sows. Research shows that supplementation of the "sunshine vitamin" becomes especially important in sow performance as the hours of natural sunlight dwindle into winter.
Dennis Short, Ph.D., swine nutritionist for Purina Animal Nutrition LLC, says Vitamin D is one of the essential vitamins in sow rations year-round. Though the typical requirement for this micronutrient is only 0.004 pound of a vitamin D 500,000 International Units (IU) per gram premix per ton of swine finishing feed, adequate levels are necessary to promote herd health. As natural sunlight becomes less prevalent, ration supplementation of Vitamin D becomes even more important.
"From October through February, we don't see as much Vitamin D available to the sow because of reduced photochemical conversion from the sun," Short says, explaining that the angle of the sun is not adequate for solar activation of Vitamin D to occur. In addition, UVB (ultraviolet B which converts 7-dehydrocholesterol in the animal's skin to Vitamin D3) does not readily pass through glass for sows housed indoors even if windows are present.
As a result, sows are more prone to Vitamin D deficiencies in the winter months. Without proper levels of Vitamin D, sows can experience osteomalacia, higher levels of lameness, decreased feed intake, reduced nutrient absorption and produce lower quality colostrum. Meanwhile, pigs raised by Vitamin D deficient sows may have more significant levels of lameness and locomotive disorders and a greater potential for hypocalcemia, rickets and mortality.
When it comes to locomotion issues, Short has seen numbers increase steadily within the industry. In fact, the Iowa State University's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory saw 10 cases of metabolic bone disease in 2003. The number grew to 40 in 2011. Short explains that mineral deficiencies may be a contributing factor to increased levels of sow lameness.
"Many cases of metabolic bone disease are caused by low dietary mineral levels," he explains. "To prevent metabolic bone disease, sows must be fed a mineral mix that provides the proper levels of calcium, phosphorous and Vitamin D."
Vitamin D is also a key driver of colostrum quality. Because pigs are born with relatively low levels of the vitamin, high quality colostrum produced by the sow can help the pigs better reach their full potential.
"Colostrum is a fairly rich source of Vitamin D," Short says. "When we have larger litters, each pig receives less colostrum and may experience lameness and/or health issues later in life. Supplementing sows with Vitamin D can improve nutrient levels provided to the pigs through colostrum and through lactation."
Many industry groups and researchers have recognized the need for additional attention to Vitamin D. In fact, The National Research Council of The National Academies recently increased their Vitamin D requirement four fold for gestating and lactating sows to 800 international units per kilogram (IU/kg) (90 percent dry matter).
Purina Animal Nutrition also recognizes the importance of Vitamin D in swine diets and continues to include Vitamin D levels in sow rations that far exceed the new minimum requirements set by the National Research Council. When selecting vitamin and trace mineral supplementation, Short encourages producers to work with a nutritionist to create the proper combination and mixture of Vitamin D and other essential vitamins.

In the British television series, River Cottage, sustainable foods advocate Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall lives in a rural cottage and feeds his family and friends from his garden and off the land. Fresh, seasonal and local ingredients are the key to his food philosophy, but don't worry, River Cottage Every Day isn't for foragers, gardeners and butchers (at least not exclusively). Here he shares recipes and tips for incorporating fresh foods into busy lifestyles, course by course, and meal by meal. These are the practical dishes that Hugh feeds his three kids, takes to work for lunch (there's a whole chapter on lunch boxes) and whips up for weeknight dinners and Sunday suppers. From quick to slow-cooking and healthful to decadent, each chapter has it all – there's a recipe to match your day.
When flipping through I spotted this whimsical Bloody Mary Burger tucked into the "Thrifty Meat" section (between the offal and the roasts) and I couldn't wait to fire up my grill pan and give it a try. Hugh mixes all the well-loved flavor components of my favorite brunch cocktail into ground sirloin (yes, I asked the grocery store butcher to grind some sirloin for me, and he did) – Tabasco, Worcestershire, horseradish, celery seed – formed into patties and grilled up. But the real genius is the sauce – a sinus-tickling homemade horseradish sauce combining freshly grated horseradish (use leftover horeradish to make real Bloody Marys), crème fraiche and cider vinegar.
But my favorite part of the book is Weekday Lunch (Box) chapter. I was almost giddy with eagerness halfway through, fantasizing about taking pasties, chicken with couscous or frittatas to work for lunch. I've never considered frittatas a take-along lunch food, but they actually pack away well and are tasty even at room temperature (although you should refrigerate them during the day). And I've made lots of frittatas, mostly thrown together with wilting veggies in my fridge, but this Spinach, Bacon and Goat Cheese Frittata was by far the most beautiful frittata I've ever made.
And the veggies! There are enough vegetable and fruit recipes in this book to span all seasons and palates, and could even inspire more frequent trips to the farmers' market. I made these beautiful, lemony potatoes with my springtime market finds. They're easy, simple and pair perfectly with almost any meal, from roasts to barbecues.
This book's overarching theme of fresh, local seasonal foods everyday for everyone comes naturally, with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's charming voice leading the way. Whether you incorporate a few of his recipes into your repertoire or cook from it every day, it will go a long way towards keeping you on a good food track.

Big Data may be a word that is thrown a lot these days in health care circles, and the word signifies both promise and peril.
For medtech companies, however, data has not been a priority and that needs to change, advises Jonas Funk, managing director and partner at L.E.K. Consulting. Big Data may be intimidating but there are a host of companies out there that can help get meaningful bytes out of it. And that will prove invaluable for medtech firms in the near future.
That's because as providers demand cheaper and cheaper prices for products that they sometimes find indistinguishable from those of competitors, medtech companies can defend their margins by showing comparative effectiveness data. Something that shows that the product is clinically and economically superior. That can even help to charge a premium.
"The ultimate goal is outcome-based pricing, but you can't get there without data," Funk said in a recent interview in Minneapolis. "Without data, you can't measure, you can't track, you can't promise."
And yet, medtech companies have remained happy in their own corner of the healthcare universe, defending their turf when necessary, and rarely being required to engage with entities that weren't either physicians or group purchasing organizations. The time for change is here and now.
"Some medtech companies are famous for not being good partners, but many will need to partner and collaborate to fill gaps in data and analytics," Funk said. "I would encourage device companies to consider active collaboration with data, analytics and healthcare IT companies."
|Hear from the Director of Watson Technologies about Big Data in Healthcare at the MD&M East Conference & Expo, June 10, in New York City.
The message of collaboration, in general, seems to be getting across. In a PricewaterhouseCoopers survey of global CEOs released earlier this year, 53% of life sciences CEOs said they were planning to enter into strategic partnership, joint venture or collaboration in 2014.
If these firms do intend to partner with data firms, what kinds of companies should they consider? Here are a few that Funk recommends although these are many others. In no particular order:

Cards overcome six-run deficit to top Brewers
Holliday launches ninth-inning HR to gain game on division leaders
MILWAUKEE -- The Cardinals' comeback victory against the division-leading Brewers was huge, but the manner in which it was achieved might have been even more important.
Matt Holliday lined a two-out solo homer in the ninth inning as St. Louis overcame an early six-run deficit and a rough start by Joe Kelly to rally for a 7-6 victory over the slumping Brewers on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
"Nothing even comes close to this," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "Just the heart the guys showed. Just to be able to keep coming and coming, the intensity and the grit and the fight, that to me is something you don't have every once in a while. You have it or you don't. Just really impressed, couldn't be any more proud."
The victory pulled the Cardinals within one game of the Central-leading Brewers, who have lost six in a row and 10 of their last 11.
The Cardinals trailed, 6-0, after two innings, but came back behind three home runs off Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo, who was 1-11 with a 6.34 ERA in 18 previous starts against St. Louis. Matt Adams pulled the Cardinals within 6-2 with a two-run homer, his eleventh, in the fourth inning. Kolten Wong led off a four-run sixth with his fifth homer and Jhonny Peralta added a two-run shot, his 14th, to chase Gallardo.
The onslaught continued against the Brewers' bullpen. The Cardinals loaded the bases on singles by Allen Craig and John Jay and a walk to Tony Cruz, all off Rob Wooten, who failed to record an out.
Zach Duke relieved and pinch-hitter Oscar Taveras reached on a fielders choice, with Craig scoring to tie it at 6.
While the Cardinals were coming back against Gallardo, relievers Nick Greenwood, Seth Maness, Pat Neshek and Trevor Rosenthal kept the Brewers off the scoreboard the rest of the way.
"I think when you score two and make it 6-2, Greenie did a good job of holding them and don't let them add on," said Holliday. "You put the four spot up and you're back to a tie game. 6-2 you're still in the game, it's still early. We still had a chance."
Francisco Rodriguez came on to start the ninth and got two quick outs before Holliday jumped on the first pitch for his sixth home run and first since June 15.
"It was a first-pitch changeup," Holliday said. "It kind of came back towards me. I'm sure he would have liked it down and away. It kind of came in towards me and got the barrel on it and good carry to it."
Kelly, who has been out since injuring a hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt on April 16 against the Brewers, allowed six runs on seven hits in three innings.
"Not exactly sure what that was," Matheny said. "Arm felt great and sometimes it can feel too good. The ball was jumping and running and taking off on him. He couldn't find that rhythm. The last inning, maybe a little bit more so. He's going to be fine. That's what I told him. Can't wait to see him back out there. "
Kelly, activated earlier in the day off the 60-day disabled list following three rehab appearances, struggled early, allowing three runs in a 34-pitch first inning that included hitting leadoff batter Carlos Gomez.
Scooter Gennett followed with a single and the Brewers immediately took advantage of the absence of injured catcher Yadier Molina, with both runners advancing on a double steal.
Jonathan Lucroy walked to load the bases and Aramis Ramirez followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0.
Gennett and Lucroy moved up on Ryan Braun's groundout to first and both came home on Khris Davis' double to the base of the wall in left-center.
The Brewers added three runs in the second to extend the lead to 6-0. Gallardo and Gomez opened with consecutive singles up the middle and Gennett followed with a triple into the right-field corner. Braun's two-out triple to right-center scored Gennett.
After allowing a one-out double to Jean Segura in the third, Kelly prevented further damage by striking out Gallardo and Gomez to end the inning.
"When we had a shutdown there in the third, I could feel an edge with our guys, even though we're down six," Matheny said. "We had a lot of game left and I felt that we could make something happen and they did."

LSU is set to extend its campus beyond Baton Rouge on Monday with the launch of LSU Online, a new, completely Web-based, distance-learning initiative. Administrators hope it will increase enrollment, generate revenue and build the university's "brand" nationwide.
The initial launch offers graduate students a choice of three master's degree-level programs in business administration, construction management and human resource leadership and development.
Two more degree programs in higher education administration and educational leadership are expected to launch later this year, possibly in May.
The foray into the online market goes along with what LSU system President and Baton Rouge Chancellor William Jenkins has been preaching for the last several months.
A 2011 Sloan Foundation Survey found that more than 6 million people, or nearly one-third of all college students, are taking at least one online course on their way to a degree.
Jenkins has repeatedly said LSU will have to embrace the online market or risk being left behind.
Public colleges like LSU are also beginning to face competition from startups like Coursera, an online education company that enrolled more than 2.7 million students in free online courses since its April launch.
Initiatives like Coursera don't offer the traditional degrees employers typically look for, but their no-cost model and affiliation with prestigious institutions such as Columbia University, Stanford University and Princeton University have them positioned as an intriguing option for an increasing number of students.
Unlike Coursera, however, LSU Online is being marketed by the Dallas-based Academic Partnerships company as an option strictly for degree-seeking students.
"We know there are a lot of people out there who want graduate degrees, but can only work it into their lives through the online environment," said Ed Holton, LSU's interim associate dean for distance learning and leadership.
LSU Online courses are created and taught by LSU faculty and designed to be completely asynchronous, or self-paced and able to be completed on a student's own schedule.
"What's unique is about this is that you have a large state research university offering their degrees online," Holton said. "We're bringing top-tier faculty into an online environment."
"If a student wants to take a class at midnight, they can," he added. "If they are early risers and want to take a class at five in the morning they can do that too."
Holton said he expects between five and 20 students to enroll in each degree program initially as the initiative's popularity spreads.
So far, LSU has secured permission to offer courses to students in 24 different states, he said.
Gil Reeve, LSU's vice-provost for academic programs, said LSU Online represents an evolution from the synchronous method the university has offered for years.
As part of that model, out-of-town students would have to log-in to computers from remote classrooms to watch in-progress lectures in Baton Rouge, or another method where students were shipped videotaped lectures stored on portable hard drives.
Coursework will be taught in intensive seven-week sessions rather than the traditional 16 weeks, Reeve said. New courses start every eight weeks, giving students an opportunity to sign up for new classes six times per year, he said.
Courses will each carry three credits allowing online students to complete the required 36 credits needed to graduate in two years — the same as traditional students, Reeve said.
Tuition for online classes, however, will differ from traditional courses, Reeve explains, because the university is competing for students in a number of different markets.
The industry standard for the cost of an online MBA degree falls between $35,000 and $50,000. LSU's program falls near the middle at $43,900. The programs will cost students about $15,000 each with the exception of the construction management degree that is priced at $27,000.
Academic Partnerships, which is in charge of recruiting students who wouldn't normally enroll at LSU, will share 50 percent of the net tuition revenues with the university, he said.
"This is a different kind of service and there are different demands on an institution," Reeve said. "When you go online you become market driven because other institutions are offering similar programs. We've determined our prices to be competitive."
Reeve said LSU is doing a market analysis study to determine what other online courses to offer in the future.

Why Are Expanded Background Checks for Potential Gun Owners a Bad Thing?
This has been a very difficult week in light of the bombs at the Boston Marathon, the explosion at the fertilizer plant in Waco, TX. and yesterday's defeat in the Senate of a bill that would have expanded background checks to purchase a gun and banned the sale of some semi-automatic weapons like military assault weapons.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
GarbageLand, or FutureLand, is a futuristic themepark in Cleveland, Ohio. It sells roughly four tickets a year (at least two of them are usually the owner's children).
edit History
The lot on which GarbageLand is located used to be a landfill, until the city of Cleveland decided it no longer needed a landfill; instead it could just dump all its garbage into a nearby river. And so, the landfill was put up for sale, and a man by the name of Leon Spimble purchased it. Leon was the owner of many theme parks, including Vomitville ("Determined to make your kids vomit at least 8 times or your money back!"), Tiny World ("At one inch high, this is the world's smallest theme park! Pay us just $99.00 and you can look at it!") and Lobotomy Land ("Experience first hand the thrill of getting a lobotomy, with one of our
janitors paid professionals!"). But in purchasing this massive landfill, Leon was taking on his most ambitious project yet. Within a few months (two of which were spent working on the lot next door due to an embarrassing error on Leon's part), the park was up and running.
edit Description
GarbageLand has many different future-themed "rides," all of which were made using objects on or near the dumpster to convey the future's futuristic theme. The entire theme park is contained within a large, metal dome, which is heated to a toasty 105 degrees. "I wanted to actually create a full working ecosystem," says Leon, "I was actually planning on buying the sun and having it shipped to the park so I could use co2 to magnify its rays and make the Global warming feel of the park as realistic as possible, but I discovered that the sun has already been purchased by Disney World."
edit Rides and attractions
The park features a wide array of rides and attractions, all of which are designed to convey a sense of the future that is as realistic and futuristic as possible. Tickets cost $35,000 each, to reflect future inflation rates, but these high prices often drive customers away. One of the park's biggest rides is the "Sewer Slide," a waterslide in which kids slide through a thin, cement pipe filled with acidic, mercury-filled water, into a swimming pool filled with human waste. Also popular is the "Shard Pool," which is similar to a ball pool, except instead of being filled with hollow, plastic, colorful balls it is filled with broken lightulbs, soda cans, diapers, and syringes in which children can roll and play for hours at a time. "We really want a trip to GarbageLand to be an inriching and educational experience," says Leon on his park, "So we have no artificial garbage. We won't see US using any fake, plastic stuff! Take THAT, Disney!" It also featured an "Acid Rain shower," a refreshing mist of burning chemicals that sprays visitors every half hour, along with the "energy crisis ferris wheel," which randomly stops and starts and ultimately ends randomly, leaving the guests to figure out how to get out of their 30 foot high seats. One of the park's most famous attractions is the Disease House, a sort of fun house in which park visitors attempt to walk through a kind of obstacle course filled with rabid dogs, hoses which spray concentrated flu viruses and smallpox viruses into the air, and people with AIDS who jump out of dark corners, yell "BOOO!" and attempt to pass the disease on to park goers. The object of the game is to make it through the house without catching any of the diseases. A sign outside the house says, "Disease House: A Family obstacle course! Great way to spend hours of enriching, quality time with your children!"
edit Food and restroom facilities
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the park is its policy on food, and restrooms. The restaurant's cafeteria serves meals deliberately poisoned or tainted with various chemicals. Some menu items include "9 year old meat (of unknown origin) with extra formaldahyde," and "Nondescript, rusty bowl filled with a slimy, unkown, mercury-filled substance."
But even more controversial than the meals is the park's restroom policy. There are no restrooms, instead a large sign reads, "Take a shit wherever the hell you want!" When asked about this, Leon said, "Our general policy is to be as accurate in representing the future as possible. Do you think they'll be a lot of places to store waste in the future? I think not. You don't want my park to be dishonest, do you? You don't want a park that fills kids' heads with lies about the future, do you?" The interviewer didn't ask Leon any further questions, because he had collapsed from inhaling too many of the fumes that fill the theme park. Several health inspectors have been dispatched to the park to inspect these unfavorable conditions; as of yet, none of the inspectors have returned alive save one, who was trembling violently, drooling, and bellowing the phrase "TOADSTOOLS, MARY! TOADTSOOLS, AND OLIVE BRAAAANCH!" at random moments.
edit Profits
The park so far has made a total of negative $88,000. "I'm hoping to turn things around very soon," says Leon on future profits, "I'm planning a new Nuclear Bomb rollar coaster ride which should draw in a huge crowd. After all, there's nothing like the thrill of riding a roller coaster which ends with a nuclear bomb being dropped on your head, and your body instantly vaporizing into a cloud of scattered atoms and bits of radioactive sludge!" However, as long as his prices for entry are as high as they are, the park is likely to continue losing money. "Why should I pay $99 to have my kids killed when I can take them to Guillotine World across town for only $5.95?" Guillotine World is a rival theme park centraled on a Halloween theme, with the slogan: "What's scary about being strapped down and having your head cut off?" Leon, however, remains optimistic about his park's economic future.
edit Rival Parks
Aside from Guillotine World, another park was built right across the street from GarbageLand called "Flower World." The park's premise was to depict the future "As it actually will be," that is, human beings coming to respect the natural world. Before being purchased, the lot was simply a meadow, and the owner made few changes, aside from the addition of a few "Green" rides such as a "Windmill ferris wheel" and a "Fuel efficient roller coaster." However, the public showed little interest in the park, and it was out of business within a week. The lot was purchased, bulldozed, and now contains a parking garage with several broken SUV's and a heroin gang residing inside. It also contains an extra car park for all those idiots who can't be asked to wake up early in the morning so visit the park later that day. However, this car park has never been used as not that many people have visited GarbageLand, even though it sells a whopping 4 tickets a year. As a result of this car park never being used, the heroin gang park their cars there instead (but they can't afford cars, so just keep spare needles in that area instead).

mod_asn is an Apache module that uses BGP routing data to look up the autonomous system (AS) and the network prefix (subnet) which contains a given (client's) IP address. mod_asn is highly scalable. To do lookups in high-speed, it uses the PostgreSQL ip4r datatype, which is indexable with a Patricia Trie algorithm to store network prefixes. This is the most suitable algorithm, being able to search through around 250,000 existing prefixes quickly. mod_asn is usable as a standalone module, and the lookup result can be used by scripts or other Apache modules. For instance, a download redirector could base its decisions on the lookup result provided by mod_asn.
io-util is a small, scalable Java library for slicing and dicing fixed width tables on disk. The objective is to provide reusable blocks of code for building efficient, custom binary data stores. It allows you to build, search, and maintain a large, externally stored, fixed width, sorted table. The library user specifies the row width (in bytes), a row comparison function (which implicitly defines any given row's key), and an optional delete codec.

Federal parliamantarian Kate Ellis will already have to contend with an election next year, now she intends to be a bride as well.
The Federal childcare minister is to wed her boyfriend of two years, Rupert Murdoch's "golden boy" David Penberthy, after the high profile journalist popped the question.
Penberthy, who is editor in chief of several Murdoch websites including news.com.au, told PS he had been planning the proposal for several months, choosing to pop the question while sitting atop a picnic blanket at sunset on Aldinga Beach, south of their hometown, Adelaide.
"We are both very happy and very excited. I had been planning it for a while, I chose the ring and she loved it. It all went very well," Penberthy said.
"It will happen next year, and depending on when the election looks like being called we will decide on a date."
The wedding is expected to take place in Adelaide.
It will be the first marriage for Ellis and the second for Penberthy, who has two children from a previous relationship.
Penberthy and Ellis have become regular fixtures on the Canberra cocktail circuit, quickly assuming the mantle of a new power couple on the national stage.

Sugar and Desserts
It's best to save sweets and desserts for special occasions so you don't miss out on the more nutritious foods your body needs. If you need something to satisfy a sweet craving, try eating a piece of fresh fruit or fruit salad. When you do decide to include a treat in your meal plan, make sure you keep portions small.
Having diabetes doesn't mean you will never have birthday cake or pumpkin pie again. With a little planning, you can have a small serving of your favorite dessert once in a while and still manage your diabetes.
The Hype About Sugar
The myth that sugar causes diabetes is commonly accepted by many people. This is a complicated issue. Eating sugar has nothing to do with developing type 1 diabetes. Type 1 is caused by genetics and other unknown factors that trigger the disease.
One of the biggest risk factors for type 2 diabetes is being overweight, and a diet high in calories from any source contributes to weight gain. However, research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes, and the American Diabetes Association recommends that people limit their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to help prevent diabetes.
In the past, people with diabetes were told to completely avoid sugar. Experts thought that eating sugar would raise blood glucose levels very high.
Research around this issue has shown that while the type of carbohydrate can affect how quickly blood glucose levels rise, the total amount of carbohydrate you eat affects blood glucose levels more than the type. Now experts agree that you can substitute small amounts of sugar for other carbohydrate containing foods into your meal plan and still keep your blood glucose levels on track.
That doesn't mean you can eat all the sugar you may want. Most sweets contain a large amount of carbohydrate in a very small serving. So you need to be sure to have a small serving.
Saving sweets for a special occasion is the most healthful way to eat so you focus your meal plan on the most nutrient dense foods such as vegetables, beans, whole grains, fruit, non-fat dairy, fish and lean meats.
If you tend to overeat on sweets, don't buy them. Instead, plan to have dessert only when you are away from home. Split the dessert with a friend to keep yourself on track.
Including Sweets into Your Meal Plan
Most sweeteners have calories and carbohydrates. Examples are:
- Table sugar (also called white sugar or sucrose)
- Raw sugar
- Cane sugar
- Sugar cane syrup
- Beet sugar
- Honey
- Brown sugar
- Molasses
- Fructose
- Maple syrup
- Cane sugar
- Agave nectar
- Confectioners sugar
- Powdered sugar
- Turbinado
- High fructose corn syrup (also called corn sugar)
- Rice syrup or brown rice syrup
- Coconut palm sugar
The key to keeping your blood glucose levels on target is to substitute small portions of sweets and sweeteners for other carb-containing foods in your meals and snacks.
Carb-containing foods include (but are not limited to):
- bread
- tortillas
- rice
- crackers
- cereal
- fruit
- juice
- milk
- yogurt
- potatoes
- corn
- peas
For many people, having about 45 to 60 grams at meals is about right. Serving sizes make a difference. To include sweets in your meal, you can cut back on the other carb-containing foods at the same meal.
For example, if you'd like to have cookies with your lunch, you need to substitute for another carb-containing food. If your lunch is a turkey sandwich with two slices of bread, here are the steps you would take to make the substitution:
- Your first step is to identify the carb foods in your meal. Bread is a carb.
- You decide to swap two slices of regular bread for two slices of low-calorie bread (with ½ the carbohydrate) and have the cookies—it's an even trade.
- Your total amount of carbohydrate remains the same for the meal.
Using the Nutrition Facts Label
You can also use the Nutrition Facts Label on foods to guide you. The first thing to check is the serving size. The second is the total carbohydrate. The total carbohydrate tells you how much carbohydrate is in one serving of the food.
Label Claims
Foods labeled as sugar-free, no sugar added, reduced sugar, and dietetic may still contain carbohydrate. Sugar is only one type of carbohydrate that affects blood glucose levels. To get the complete amount of carbohydrate, look at the Nutrition Facts Panel instead of relying on claims on the front of the box.
Sugar on the Label
Sugar is listed under the Total Carbohydrate on the Nutrition Facts Label. Keep in mind that it includes both added sugars and naturally occurring sugars, such as the natural sugar in raisins.
Sugar listed on the label does not include sugar alcohols that are in the product. It is voluntary for food manufacturers to list sugar alcohols on the label. (Total carbohydrate does include sugar alcohols in the total.) Some manufacturers list sugar alcohols on the label and some do not. If a food doesn't list sugar alcohols on the label, you can look for it in the ingredient list. Look for ingredients that end in "ol" like maltitol or sorbitol.
The Most Important Thing to Look For
If you don't have a lot of time when reading labels, simply look at the total carbohydrate in a food. The total carbohydrate includes starch, fiber, sugar and sugar alcohols. Using the amount of total carbohydrate will give you a pretty good number to use for carbohydrate counting.
It is more helpful to check the total carbohydrate because it includes both sugar and starch. If you only look at the sugar content, you are not accounting for the starch in a food.

O mankind! Remember Allah's blessing to you. Is there any creator other than Allah providing for you from heaven and earth? There is no deity but Him. So how have you been deluded? (Surah Fatir, 3)
No self knows the delight that is hidden away for it in recompense for what it used to do. ( Surat as-Sajda, 17)

What He Said
Bosna TV-June 3, 2008
Adnan Oktar: The circumstances are now ideal for the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union. There are virtually no obstacles at present. It is as if someone calls out for a union it will be formed instantly. My friends gave out a newspaper advertisement the other day calling for Azerbaijan to unite with Turkey. Excellent, positive messages have come in from all over. The president of Azerbaijan wants this also. We are in contact with Palestine and they want it, an Islamic Union. Syria wants it, Iraq wants it, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria want it. There is nobody who does not. It merely needs to be given a name. But of course these times have an owner, a right timing, and Allah is delaying this for the formation of these conditions at the correct moment.

This forum will be locked down and no one will be able to post/edit/create threads, etc. here from thereafter. Please create an account at the new site to continue discussion.
Use code tags. Keep your post short (10-20 lines of code is often on the higher end). Ask us your question for us, not your instructor's question for you. Provide a runnable minimum, complete and verifiable and example and its exact output (including error messages) and desired output, "my code doesn't work" isn't enough
Following these instructions helps us to help you. Believe it or not, reading this whole thing and making a good first post will be faster than the back-and-forth we often have to go through due to people not acting in their own best interest.
Subject/Title of post
Please try to use a subject line that describes your problem well.
From the subject line alone it should give a good indication of what the problem is, 'Please Help' is not a good subject line, for example.
How to post code
Because Python uses indentation for blocks, it is essential to use code tags when posting code in the forums. Code in code tags makes it easier for us to read, and indented the way you meant it to be.
- Above the text area box, there are tag buttons (B, i, u, Code, etc.)
- click the code tag "Code" to insert code tags into the text area
- You can either click the code tag, and paste your code between the two tags or:
- You can copy just your code, and click the code tag, which will wrap your code in code tags
- Code: Select all
[code]Put Your Code Here[/code]
"Newly Registered User" restrictions:
- Your first post will be moderated (a moderator will leave an edit note saying "First post lock" or something to that effect). The post will not be visible until a moderator approves it. Please do not make duplicate first posts as this will have no effect. You will be taken out of newly registered users and into registered users, and from thereafter you may post freely. Sorry for the inconvenience, as this filters the spam from real posts, and keeps our forum spam free. To quicken the process of getting approved, you can join and notify moderators on our IRC channel of your newly post.

How to ask good questions
Below are some general guidelines for this site, and they often apply to other programming forums, but How to ask good questions in general is a well-explored topic. It is seriously recommended that you read this link.
Describe the goal, not the step... begin by describing the goal. Only then describe the particular step towards it that you are blocked on.
Often, people who need technical help have a high-level goal in mind and get stuck on what they think is one particular path towards the goal. They come for help with the step, but don't realize that the path is wrong. It can take substantial effort to get past this.
Stupid: How do I get the color-picker on the FooDraw program to take a hexadecimal RGB value?
Smart: I'm trying to replace the color table on an image with values of my choosing. Right now the only way I can see to do this is by editing each table slot, but I can't get FooDraw's color picker to take a hexadecimal RGB value.
Other things to avoid in your post, unless they're necessary or relevant to your question: more than 10 lines, user input, randomness, imports. Is your question about randomness? That's fine. If not, you should hard-code a value to reproduce the problem, simplifying the problem-solving process.
This should be taken extra seriously for students, to prevent yourself from being perceived as academically dishonest and reported to your school. We will not delete your posts on request; be sure that you are not violating the rules of your class by posting. Your deadline may be urgent to you, but don't assume it is to us.
Naturally, we understand that some students will use this forum to get assistance with their homework, and as a community, we are happy to help. We are not, however, going to do your homework for you. Read the What to include in a post section!
If you are asking for help with homework, we ask that you be honest and admit that it's a homework related question; if we can tell and you don't say it then it looks bad. Show what you've done on your own, and post the code that is causing you problems. Post the exact assignment you've been given, so we know what we're working with, but be sure to include your question too.
If you're answering a question that seems like it might be homework, please quote the original post (unless a moderator has locked the post), so that the original question will not be lost if someone edits their old post.
What to include in a post (read this! seriously!)
- If you're asking a question about code, don't make a post without your own code. Post any code (even if one line) in code tags to help differentiate code from text.
- Always add the entire traceback that you get. For example, the code.
- Code: Select all
1 + '2'
when put into a Python shell will give you the following traceback (the error message)
- Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
1 + '2'
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
don't just post the "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'" part. Do not attempt to summarize or interpret for our benefit, although you're welcome to do so if you want us to let you know that you have it right.
- Post as much code as necessary and as little as possible to reproduce your error, as well as instructions for how to run that code (what input it needs, what files need to be present). If "as much code as necessary" is all your code, then so be it, but if you have a thousand line script and you're getting a traceback similar to the above, you could reproduce the error in one line and posting too much makes it very difficult to answer your question. (As a bonus, reducing your code like this often makes it easier for you to figure out the solution on your own!) Also, the less code you post, the more likely you will get a good, fast, correct response.
- If your program has a GUI (graphical user interface, such as Tkinter, wx, pyqt, etc.) and your problem is with something other than the GUI programming, you will be more likely to get help if you only the post code that you need help with. Separating program logic from user interface is good practice anyway
- It never hurts to include your Python version and operating system (OS). If you're not sure whether to include them, then do so.
- Longer posts should include succinct summarizing questions (questions have question marks (?)). The faster we can read/skim your post, the better for you.
What to NOT include in a post
- For testing purposes, don't include raw_input() calls if you can hard-code the value that reproduces your problem.
- Line Numbers. Your own line numbers with the code. Anyone who wants to help you, has to copy the code, and delete EVERY single number. You will end up with no responses.
- Code: Select all
1while True:
2 pass
- Images of text. Please do not take a screenshot of your traceback or code, just copy and paste the text of it in the post. If this text is within a popup that you cannot copy the text out of, please use this tool to acquire the text from within it (for windows users).
- BBCode in Code Tags. Do not wrap code within code tags with additional underline or bold BBCode. It does not make it underlined or bolds it. What it does is just adds the BBcode inside the code tags, ruining your indentation. If you want to signify a line of code in code tags, make an addition code tag with only that line in it to show what line you are referring to.
- Code: Select all
[b][u] else: [/u][/b]
- Text Talk. Leave out the text talk. atm (at the moment), IIRC (if i recall correctly). Stop assuming everyone knows what it means. You are on a forum, not texting your girl friend. Dont type things like "can u plz". It looks like you do not give us the time to type properly. why should we give you our time?
Posts to not make
- The same post in multiple sub forums.
- A new redundant thread on your same question. If someone has told you to include more information, edit your original post or create a new post in your thread. If you don't like the answer, talk about it.
- A post in someone else's thread for your own separate problem. If you wish to reference the other thread, link to it in your own thread. This is especially true for "necro" posts, which is a post which has gone a great deal of time without any posts.
- Asking for help via Skype or other personal avenue. There is a reason we operate a public forum and not a programming help line. Advice given in a thread you post is not just meant to help you, but any others that come across a similar problem or just want to learn.
Modification of your posts
- Some posts may be locked by moderators if they seem more likely to be removed/modified with ill-intent. Don't take this personally.
- You are (generally) free to modify the title to more explicitly explain your problem better
- If you need to modify a section of a post, please either make a new post, or append to the bottom of the post your corrected part. Please leave the rest of the post alone to not disrupt the flow of dialog.
- Removal of the original post (OP) will get you a warning, continued locked posts, or even banned. Please do not do it. If you feel you need to remove the OP or change it, please ask a moderator/admin before doing so.
Forum Structure
It is better to just post in the section that best suits your question. Because if it is not, your post will be moved, and will be mentioned on your thread anyway. It is better to just take a second before posting to decide where the post should be in the first place. This makes it a lot easier on us moderators and makes the whole forum database better organized.
- General Discussions is just that...discussions. It is for questions about the Python language in general. For example: "How long did it take you to learn Python basics". It is not meant for questions about code. That is for General Coding Help.
- Tutorials is an accumulation of tutorials that are approved by the majority of the forum moderators/admin.
- Tutorial Submissions are for if you want to submit a tutorial of any kind. If it is approved, it will be moved to Tutorials.
- Completed Scripts are for you completed programs. If you have multiple files, it is better to upload your code to Github and post a link to the repo as opposed to posting each file on the forum.
- Jobs are for if you want to pay a Python programmer to do the work for you. Or it is for if you have a job opening for a programmer and want to announce it.
- General Coding Help is where you post all your code and beginner questions that do not fit into other categories.
- GUI is where you post code regarding GUI code, such as Tkinter, wxPython, Qt, etc.
- Game Development is where you ask questions regarding a gaming GUI framework such as Pygame, or the logic behind game development.
- Networking is for networking related questions about code. Such as sockets, Twisted, etc.
- Web Development is for web dev related questions about code. Web frameworks such as Django, etc.
- Challenges are for posting a challenge for the forum to tackle.
- Project Euler is for Project Euler related questions.
- Suggestions are for suggestions related to the forum itself. Such as forum placement, adding/removing a forum, hosting, etc.
- Bar is for anything off topic. Free to discuss almost anything.
Following these guidelines will make it easier for everyone to see, understand, and organize your code and help you get an answer promptly. Ignoring these guidelines will make your post turn into a mirror of these guidelines from numerous users.

Nokia Lumia 1520 expected release date and price are right here
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Sep 2013, 22:23
The other day, serial leaker evleaks tweeted that the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet would be unveiled on October 22nd; that was followed up by a published report on Wednesday saying that the first Windows Phone to contain the GDR3 update will be launched on November 8th which is two weeks after the introduction. The report said that this date was confirmed by multiple sources...

Verizon needs their Version of this Godzilla phone now please!
8. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1642; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I hope that isn't the real subsidized price. AT&T was having a hard time selling the Lumia 1020 at that price and they are still having problems selling the handset at $200 on contract. They should put the starting price at $200 so that they undercut the Note 3.
Other than that, the specifications look good so far. Just need to wait until the announcement day to know for sure what I think about the device.
19. DontHateOnS60 (Posts: 872; Member since: 20 Apr 2009)
Note 3 is going for $299. Not a big surprise there at all.
9. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1121; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I like what the Lumia 1520 is showing, but im going to stay with the Note 3 when it comes out. hopefully AT&T isnt going to have this phablet at $300 at the time of the release because we all saw how long the 1020 stayed at $300 until the price went down. Id have to see this phone in person before I can say if the 1520 will give the Note 3 a run for its money...............and ours lol

Sometimes Steven Spielberg just doesn't get it.
His 2011 film adaptation of "War Horse" was full of spectacle and drama. But it lacked the essential element that makes the live theatrical version so spellbinding: its brilliant stagecraft. You can see the glorious results for yourself – "War Horse" is playing at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Hall through Feb. 3.
Joey, a proud and spirited horse, loses something when he jumps from the stage to the screen. Sure, Spielberg's version of the majestic steed, not to mention the director's images of the bucolic English countryside and stomach-churning battles, are wonderful. Spielberg has got all of cinema's bells and whistles at his disposal, not to mention a generous budget.
But nothing beats watching a group of talented performers use simple, pedestrian materials to tell a dynamic tale. Seducing us into suspending our disbelief during an evening-long adventure is the essence of theater's alchemy.
"War Horse" begins shortly before World War I in the south of England.
An impoverished farmer named Ted (Todd Cerveris) buys a horse at auction. He overpays for the beautiful but tempestuous creature, half draft horse and half thoroughbred, because he gets into a bidding war with his brother Arthur (Brian Keane), who is rich but still competitive with his gruff sibling.
Ted's son Albert (Andrew Veenstra), who loves horses more than any other creature, gradually wins the animal's trust and names him Joey. They soon become fast friends.
But Joey's life isn't destined to be easy. Albert must quickly teach him to become a plough horse to satisfy a bet between his foolish father and Arthur, which he does after a superhuman effort that cements his bond with Joey.
Despite Joey's newfound usefulness, Ted sells him to the British army when World War I breaks out (they hadn't yet figured out that cavalry fighting was obsolete). It's a decision that snaps the strained bond between father and son and eventually sends young Albert to the front in search of his beloved equine pal.
The play's central part is full of harrowing chapters: charges, pitched battles, carnage, scenes of horrible cruelty. But Michael Morpurgo, author of the 1982 novel on which this script is based, wisely lets us see the humanity of soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Horses seem to separate the heroes from the villains, be they German or British.
It isn't much of a spoiler to say that "War Horse" ends in reconciliation – these kinds of tales always do – but the journey to that moment is filled with strife and pain that some might find unbearable, or at least highly manipulative.
If you can accept those moments in Nick Stafford's script, then "War Horse" will move you in a way that other plays seldom do. But even unsentimental stoics will be amazed by this production's most celebrated element: its lifelike and amazingly expressive puppets.
Created by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, these creations of leather, bent cane, aluminum and fabric aren't scrupulously realistic. You can see the performers operating the full-size horses, geese and swallows that gallop, flap and fly around Rae Smith's minimalist but evocative set.
But like Julie Taymor's equally spellbinding creatures in "The Lion King," you quickly forget about the puppeteers and become entranced by their work. Controlled by three performers each, Joey and his huge companion, a black stallion named Topthorn, breathe, perk up their ears, buck, pull enormous weights, carry riders – everything a real horse would do. They and their operators are the indisputable stars of the show.
During Tuesday's opening-night performance in Costa Mesa, puppeteers Jon Riddleberger, Patrick Osteen and Jessica Krueger animated Joey in ways both athletic and subtle. Topthorn was given a different personality and equally impressive movements by Jon Hoche, Danny Beiruti and Aaron Haskell.
The horses' performances often eclipse those of the human actors, and we end up caring more for their welfare than the poor soldiers'. Stafford sacrifices subtlety and detail at the altar of mythic storytelling, and nobody says anything particularly deep or surprising.
The one exception is Capt. Friedrich Muller, a German officer who shows great compassion for his captives, Joey and Topthorn, and deserts his post to keep them alive. As played by Andrew May, Friedrich is a fascinating combination of cynicism and kindness.
This new touring production is designed for a smaller stage than the original 2007 British staging at the National Theatre or the Tony-winning 2011 Broadway version. But on Segerstrom Hall's stage, it still looks majestic and sweeping. Director Bijan Sheibani is an expert at controlling focus and moving huge set pieces smoothly; even scenes of chaos and mayhem are precisely and clearly choreographed. Adrian Sutton's lush but understated score sounds like a long-lost work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, reinforcing the essentially British emotional climate of the story.
"War Horse" is not Shakespeare; at most it's a middlebrow masterpiece and a shamelessly effective tearjerker. But as a demonstration of theater's greatest power – its ability to pull us in not with realism but with skill and illusion – it's second to none.

Did you know?
The word 'Tankwa' (sometimes spelt 'Tanqua') is probably of Khoisan origin meaning 'Place of Thirst'.
Over the Tankwa Karoo National Park, clouds sketch your thoughts in a blue sky. Before you, a vast space breathes an ocean of air. At your feet, a small beetle explores a tussock of bright flowers.
And that is the essence of this otherworldly, arid park, situated in a remote area south of Calvinia and west of Sutherland, and mostly falling into the Northern Cape, South Africa's largest and most arid province.
There are comparatively few large mammals to see. There are no organised night drives, no restaurants, no shops. There is only the sweet silence of semi-desert, as much solitude as you want, and a night sky bright with stars.
It's a perfect place to indulge in blessed idleness. But if you want to see the landscape and animals, you'll find rough roads and spectacular views from the mountains. There are no hiking trails. You pick your own path through the bushes.
Take along binoculars if you're a birder. You may see the cryptically coloured Burchell's courser and the Karoo long-billed lark. Also look out for Verreaux's eagles, spike-heeled larks and secretary birds. This park is a birder's paradise. About 180 species occur here, many of them endemic to the area.
The Tankwa Karoo National Park is part of the Great Karoo. This is one of the richest arid areas in the world, a 'friendly desert' filled with life. So while it seems empty of life at first glance, it is a treasure house of a more subtle kind. Much of its life is found at your feet - plants that are found nowhere else in the world. In some years, spring rains sometimes coax up a carpet of wild flowers from the earth.
Millions of years ago, the Karoo was a vast and fertile inland sea. The layering of sandstone in the hills tells mute stories of ancient broad rivers that swept silt down from vanished mountain ranges. Nowhere do you sense the immense ghost of the vanished sea more acutely than in the Tankwa Karoo National Park.

How to get here
It's about a four-hour drive from Cape Town. Before Worcester on the N2 highway, turn off to Ceres, then take the R46. Nearly 50 km from there, take the R355 to Calvinia, a dirt road. After nearly 70km, you'll see the sign to the Tankwa Karoo National Park. Remember to get all fuel and provisions in Ceres, Calvinia or Touws River.
Best time to visit
From autumn through winter to early summer (April to September).
Around the area
Drive up the Ouberg Pass to Sutherland.
Get around
You will have to bring a vehicle to the park. There are no organised game drives.
Length of stay
Come for at least two nights, more if you can.
What to pack
The Karoo is very hot in summer and can be bitterly cold in winter. Pack according to the seasons.
Where to stay
The park has a wide variety of places to stay, including old farmhouses that have now been adapted for visitors. Most do not have electricity.
What to eat
You'll have to be self-sufficient as there are no shops in the area. Bring plenty of supplies and water for the car in case of a breakdown.

One woman said she found her ancestor's picture in a town hall. The entire unit died in battle and someone in that town collected photographs of those men from each family. The end result—a framed memorial with portraits of every man in that unit. You can look for photos of Civil War ancestors by following the tips offered in my column, Drum Roll For the Civil War.
A few months ago, I featured photos submitted by readers in Civil War Roll Call and in Civil War Roll Call Part 2.
One of those photographs was found on eBay and matched an image already owned by the family. You'll have to look to find out which one though .
If you have a photo of your Civil War ancestor you might find my column, Deciphering A Photo, Civil War Style, helpful to learn more about the image.
I'm still trying to solve the cold case file for the pictures posted some time ago of the two men in embroidered shirts and I'm hopeful that with all things Civil War related in the news, that someone can answer the questions posed by the images in the columns Two Texas Mysteries
and Texas Twosome Revisted.
Want to know more about your family's Civil War photos? Maureen A. Taylor's book Finding the Civil War in Your Family Album is available from ShopFamilyTree.com.

JBup (Java Backup) aims to become a robust, professional backup tool. It creates a mirror of the current file set and compares it to the previous version. The deltas are saved and the previous mirror is removed. By applying the increments in reverse time order, complete backups of arbitrary versions can be created. It is an Ant task and can therefore be used in Ant scripts that perform additional backup actions, such as archiving directories or sending emails.
OpenVPS is a set of software built on top of the Linux VServer aimed specifically at Web Hosting. It is not another set of kernel patches, but a set of scripts to create virtual servers, collect resource utilization information, and provide an interface to the customer as well as the administrator.
Drools is a Rete-based rules engine written in Java, but able to run on Java and .Net. it is designed to allow pluggeable language implementations. Currently, rules can be written in Java, Python, and Groovy. It also enables domain-specific languages (DSLs) via XML using a schema defined for your problem domain. DSLs consist of XML elements and attributes that represent the problem domain. An XML authoring tool provides a semi-rapid development environment with a drag and drop type interface based on the provided schema.
XMLImportDB provides an easy-to-use interface that allows developers to create a baseline database environment that can be embedded in their source code for use in jUnit test cases. The database environment can be described in a separate file in the same package as the tests, in a hard coded string in the test case classes, or in any other location for which a java.io.Reader can be created at runtime.
Ammentos is a lightweight persistence framework for JDK 5. It does not require any installation nor configuration; just put a jar file into your classpath and start writing code. It is designed so that your persistence code will be dramatically short and so that you won't have to spend a lot of time to learn how to use it. It is about 72Kb large and it does not require any external library except for your database JDBC driver. You can use it in desktop applications or in server-based environments.
The svnmailer is a tool that is usually called by a subversion hook to submit commit notifications in various ways (at the moment: mail via SMTP or a pipe to a sendmail like program, news via NNTP, or CIA live tracker notification via XML-RPC). It is derived from the original mailer.py distributed with subversion, but should be much more consistent, more extensible, and have many more features.
Nennius is an object-oriented application engine. Although initially intended to be a time and expense tracking tool, it has since been improved upon to support a wide array of data types and relationships. It offers the ability to run multiple, concurrent Web applications from a single Nennius engine. Each Web application is fully customizable and can easily be modified to fit almost any existing business model.

Reviews of this property
Fantastic spacious apartment in the walls of the ancient city. Friendly and helpful host. Easy walking distance to sights, shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.
El anfitrión muy atento desde el principio, y nos aconsejó bien sobre aparcamiento, restaurantes y visitas en general por Coimbra.
The apartment is in the historic part of the town: new, tasteful, wide for two person and confortable. All is clean.
Joao is the perfect host: kind and helpful.
Joao heeft ons goed wegwijs gemaakt in Coimbra met tips over bezienswaardigheden, historie van de stad en universiteit, fado, eten en drinken. De studio ligt gunstig t.o.v. De bezienswaardigheden, is ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Parkeren in de buurt is gratis maar parkeerplaatsen zijn schaars. We hebben een fijne tijd gehad in Coimbra, mede dank zij Joao.
Even better than we expected. Renovated building just steps from the historic district. Joao kindly told us where to visit and offered us some of his favorite restaurants. This is a really kind and considerate host. We loved our stay in Coimbra.
Encore mieux que ce que nous attendions. Immeuble entièrement rénové à quelques pas du quartier historique. Joao nous a gentiment indiqué ce qu'il fallait visiter et nous a proposé quelques-uns de ses restaurants préférés. C'est un hôte vraiment gentil et prévenant. Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Coimbra.

Hi Joao,
We had some wonderful days in Coimbra. We understand now why Portegees people are so proud of this city. Your recommendation to go for the national museum brought us to one of the most beautyful historical sculptures in Europe.
The fado's were great to listen. Last of all, your luxery appartment beautiful styled in the historical center made the stay complete. We can recommend this appartment for everybody who want tro visit the city of Coimbra.
Reviews for this host's other properties
When you drive to the flat you have to go through the old city and end in a dead end road. Just in this road is the very old but totally rebuild apartment. Joao already waited for us and gave us a very detailed explanation of what to see, where to eat and a nice story about the history of the apartment.
The apartment is big and very luxurious and makes you feel at home right away. When we where there it was quite hot, so we used the fan to sleep well.

If you want to try Alinea's version of sweet potato, you'll have to pay up front.
Photo: banditob on Flickr
One of New York City's hottest restaurants, Atera, joins a growing list of bistros that ask you to pay before you chomp. Why would they do such a thing? It is a concentrated effort to help weed out flakes, they say. In Atera's case, you pay as soon as you make the reservation. This prevents against canceling at the last minute since there are no refunds. This may sound harsh, but the restaurant does at least allow transfers. Maybe selling food on Craigslist will become the next big thing.
Joining Atera in this controversial move are several Chicago-area eateries, including Next and Alinea.

>Gears and Wears>Another heart monitor question
To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn't matter where you started or how far you've come. Today is the day. Your training didn't start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road. John "the Penguin" Bingham Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire
Roads were made for journeys...
Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end. (RF)
Then again I was out for a rather long time and maybe the begining of my runs drive my rate up higher than normal right now.
It's not a battery issue if it is that new.
Is the only thing that is abnormal is that your heart rate seems too high? It might just be that your heart rate shoots up when you first start (before you get in your 'zone' and your stride smooths out). I've seen that happen with mine, even when the connection is good and it seems to be monitoring perfectly. I think it just takes me awhile to relax and find a smooth pace. Anyway, it could be that.. though the hair-chest thing seems like a likely problem.

Topic: Regrets
I have some regrets with how I handled the end of Art's life. I am a person of faith and believe that his spirit continues to live but I was so scared the last week of his life. I think the first reason is that we didn't expect it to go they way that it did. We thought that the Dr's would tell us that there was nothing more that they could do and we would have a few last months together. It came on so quickly and in such an unexpected way. I became afraid of seeing him go because it was my impression that it would be painful for him and I didn't think I could handle it. I wasn't there when he went. I was the one that found him. The nurse had just been in the room with him and when I came in he was gone. I regret not being there and thinking that he was sad that I wasn't there and he went alone. I regret the fear I had of him being in pain in the end. These things cause me pain.
