Hey guys and gals,
I need some help with putting together a good queso recipe. I have the bulk of it down pat but wondering what other good ideas you all might have.
The base is Velveeta, two cans of rotel tomatoes and green chilies, 1lb of breakfast sausage.
I was going to add a block of smoked cheddar cheese to it but what can I add to thin it out a little bit? I was thinking about beer, I love beer cheese although non of us drink beer, I read a Melting pot recipe that called for 4 oz of beer, would that work in this recipe? Is that ok for kids? Cooking it gets rid of the alcohol properties doesn't it? Bourbon?
What are some other ideas for great queso? Unfortunately some of the family doesn't like it really hot so I have to forgo the really spicy stuff , I might get some canned jalapenos we can add on the side.
Is it too much to add a little bacon for extra flavor?

What activities does your family do together in order to get fit, learn more about the world or simply have fun?
There are some ideas in this article for Great Outdoor Activities.
I thought it would be useful to share our ideas for family activities here. What is your favourite thing to do as a family?
For my family, it has to be a longish walk in the countryside (with plenty of opportunities for our toddler to run and jump around) followed by a drink in a (family friendly) cafe. I love babywearing for enabling me to take my baby on long, narrow pathways and we often carry a spare sling in the backpack incase our toddler gets tired and wants a back carry.

Beachgoers pulled the body of a man from the water at Chelsea about 10pm Thursday night.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said it was unclear whether the man's death was as a result of an accident or foul play.
He is described as African in appearance and aged in his 20s. His identity is yet to be established.

Dozens of campaigners got together to mark the coming down of the St Helier Hospital banner at the weekend.
The prominent banner had been on the front of the hospital for some time, and stated Epsom and St Helier trust's intentions to spend £219m on a major redevelopment of the hospital.
But it emerged in February this year the plan was unlikely to go ahead due to the uncertainty it had faced under the Better Services Better Value (BSBV) programme which was scrapped.
People holding brightly coloured signs attracted passing drivers to honk their horns at the group of around 50 people who gathered outside the hospital on Saturday, March 1.
The group, including campaigners and councillors, were showing their ongoing support for saving St Helier Hospital in Wrythe Lane.
Sally Kenny, founder of the Lower Morden Residents group to Save St Helier Hospital said: "The banner misled the public.
"Now it is not misleading the public but the money it sitting somewhere between the hospital and the Treasury.
"We wanted to go down to show we want to save the hospital."
MP for Mitcham and Morden Siobhain McDonagh was among those to attend on Saturday, March 1.
She said: "The money to redevelop St Helier Hospital is sitting in the Treasury.
"It was agreed by the last Labour Government and supported by George Osborne in this Government but they are not using the money when it's clearly needed.
"They put the banner up because they were proud that the money was there - what's changed?"
The six clinical commissioning groups in south west London will now focus on developing a five year strategy for healthcare in the region, rather than continuing with the BSBV review.
The chief executive of St Helier Hospital, Matthew Hopkins, said: "It has been a long road for us, which involved times of uncertainty for the future of our services, our patients and our staff.
"I'd like to thank our staff and volunteers who throughout this time have kept their focus on the day job and have continued to provide high quality care to our patients.
"We are absolutely committed to working with our clinical commissioning groups in further improving healthcare in the region.
"Patients should be assured that the broad range of outpatient, day case and inpatient services remain available at our two main sites."

Wait to glaze after wetting bisque ware?

There is no right or wrong. It depends on your glaze . Will it adhere and give you the coverage you want when the piece is wet? That is what it comes down to. Think about if you will be glazing both sides of the piece at the same time, whether you are brushing or dipping/pouring. Experiment.
Makes perfect sense (and freeing!), thank you
Posted 13 November 2012 - 11:02 AM
If your work hasn't been sitting around in dusty places, I would think a damp sponge would do the trick. As always it depends on a lot of things.

I don't think it's necessary to rinse or wipe off your pots before glazing, unless they have been sitting in your studio for longer than a few weeks.

1.Use a green scouring pad on bone dry pots. Get all those little lunps out.
2.Bique. I usually bisque to Cone 06.
3. Use coarse sand paper to sand. [wearing a dust mask, of course]
4. Dip into a 5 gallon pail of clean water.
5. Let dry overnight.
6. Wax the feet
7. Glaze.
Told you that it was a lot of work, but I get better results. I am in a studio by myself, so am able to leave my work on tables. Your situation might be different.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 01:39 AM
I usually wet sponge the ware before loading it in bisque kiln-saves sanding later and has no dust with it.Long ago used to sand but sponging is faster and cleaner on green ware.
after bisqueing
I wax it- ether with hot dip or sponge wax with water soluble wax. Then glaze it and load it-what does not fit I leave on bats till next fire glazed-
I usually have some bisque ware laying around but cover it with paper to keep dust off.
The only time I wet ware is to wash a glaze off is from a mistake then I let it dry a day before reglazing.Unless its warm and sunny then that dries it same day.
I use a lot of rutile glaze which is prone to pitting so I pay attention to clean wares.

A Brief Guide to Imagism
PostedMay 16, 2004
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
—Ezra Pound
The imagist movement included English and American poets in the early twentieth century who wrote free verse and were devoted to "clarity of expression through the use of precise visual images." A strand of modernism, imagism was officially launched in 1912 when Ezra Pound read and marked up a poem by Hilda Doolittle, signed it "H. D. Imagiste," and sent it to Harriet Monroe at Poetry magazine.
The movement sprang from ideas developed by T. E. Hulme, who—as early as 1908—was proposing to the Poets' Club in London a poetry based on absolutely accurate presentation of its subject with no excess verbiage. The first tenet of the imagist manifesto was "To use the language of common speech, but to employ always the exact word, not the nearly-exact, nor the merely decorative word."
Imagism was a reaction against the flabby abstract language and "careless thinking" of Georgian romanticism. Imagist poetry aimed to replace muddy abstractions with exactness of observed detail, apt metaphors, and economy of language. For example, Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" started from a glimpse of beautiful faces in a dark subway and elevated that perception into a crisp vision by finding an intensified equivalent image. The metaphor provokes a sharp, intuitive discovery in order to get at the essence of life.
Pound's definition of the image was "that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time." Pound defined the tenets of imagist poetry as:
I. Direct treatment of the "thing," whether subjective or objective.
II. To use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation.
III. As regarding rhythm: to compose in sequence of the musical phrase, not in sequence of the metronome.
In 1914, Des Imagistes: An Anthology (A. and C. Boni), a collection assembled and edited by Pound, was published; it collected work by William Carlos Williams, Richard Aldington, James Joyce, and H. D. Other imagists included F. S. Flint, D. H. Lawrence, and John Gould Fletcher. By the time the anthology appeared, Amy Lowell had effectively appropriated imagism and was seen as the movement's leader. Three years later, even Lowell thought the movement had run its course. Pound by then was claiming that he invented imagism to launch H. D.'s career. Though imagism as a movement was over by 1917, the ideas about poetry embedded in the imagist doctrine profoundly influenced free verse poets throughout the twentieth century.

Ready Pac Foods has rolled out new kid-friendly items to help schools meet new nutrition standards.
Nine new items have been added to the Irwindale, Calif.-based company's Cool Cuts line, said Tristan Simpson, the company's marketing director.
"We have a new product offering for the schools because this school year the nutritional standards changed dramatically," Simpson said. "Although we have been working with the schools prior, we came up with a new line to accommodate the new standards."
The new items include five salads and four smaller packs that feature either fruits or vegetables with a dip or two commodities.
The salads, each about 9 ounces, include:
- Taco
- Caesar
- Tomato Italiano
- Garden Chef
- Southwestern
The smaller packages, ranging in size from 2.75 to 4.75 inches, include:
- Apples and yogurt
- Carrots and ranch
- Veggies and ranch
- Apples and raisins
In 2011, Ready Pac conducted recipe development work for schools, Simpson said. The new Cool Cuts items are a result of those efforts, she said.
The company is working with schools around the country to implement the new program, she said.
"Having two pre-teen boys myself, I'm very proud of the work Ready Pac is doing to improve upon healthier meal choices for students," said Simpson. "It not only helps our company growth, but also helps school foodservice directors and the schoolchildren they serve."
Understanding children's taste preferences is a key to the success of Ready Pac's school programs, Simpson said.
"If the kids don't enjoy the healthy options, they simply won't choose them," she said. "The availability of less healthy school meal and snack options in schools has contributed to childhood obesity rates in America, which have tripled over the last three decades."
New federal nutrition standards for schools, set by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, are designed to ensure that school children are offered both fruits and vegetables every school day.

Apple announced the general availability of Mac OS X Mavericks today. The natural question to ask is, should I upgrade or not? Will my existing software work? Will my Creative Cloud apps continue to work?
Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Cloud applications and Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mavericks. (v10.9). All Adobe CC and CS6 products are compatible, but a few products require updates to the latest builds to work properly. Adobe Photoshop® CS5, CS4 and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no major issues known..
Read the complete OS Compatibility and FAQs for Mavericks.
As with any new release of an OS, there may be unexpected issues that arise that were not discovered during testing. If you encounter any issues, please report them using the bug reporting form.
Update #1
The excellent folks over at Illustrator responded to the issues that you've reported. They've uncovered two reasons why you might be having trouble.
- Due to Astute Vector Scribe plug-ins. See http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-crashes-mavericks-os-x-109.html
- Adobe Illustrator CS 6 fails to launch because of the requirement of Java at the runtime. See http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-crashes-mac-os-108x.html
Update #2
Summarizing a couple of problems and solutions from the comments below:
- Problem with Open/Save dialog boxes — Try switching to List or Icon view in the File > Open or File > Save dialog (quickly – before it disappears). There seems to be an issue with the Cover Flow view (the one that looks like iTunes album covers). — Thanks, Meredith!
- With a release of any new OS, often default directory permissions are modified. This may cause trouble with older software. It may be worthwhile to check and grant read/write permissions to product folders.
- Photoshop + dual Monitors: Go to System Preferences, click Mission Control, and turn off "Displays have separate Spaces." This will preserve the multi-monitor setup when you switch out of and back to an Adobe app.
- We have seen some reports that users are unable to sign in with the Creative Cloud app for desktop. For a resolution, see http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
Update #3
Illustrator update 17.0.1 is out today, 11/18/2013. To see details about this update see, Illustrator 17.0.1 Release Notes.

If you add a datetime or datefield Widget to a component dialog (e.g. /apps/geometrixx/components/title/dialog/items) in CQ5.5, you may encounter a javascript error on the page when you open the dialog, enter a date and submit it. Your other changes in the dialog will not be displayed (e.g. the updated title will not displayed).
The javascript error says "uu is not defined" .
This is caused by an error in the JS code in
/libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/undo/UndoHistory.js (line 921).
There is an undefined variable "uu" used here.
This is a bug in CQ5.5 and will be fixed in a future release.
A workaround would be to add a definition for "var uu = CQ.undo.util.UndoUtils;" before that variable is called.
1. create an overlay of /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/undo/UndoHistory.js to /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/undo/UndoHistory.js
2. open /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/undo/UndoHistory.js
3. goto line 921
4. paste the following code into line 921:
var uu =CQ.undo.util.UndoUtils;
5. line 922 should now have:
var dateValue =uu.parseDate(originalValue);
6. save the file

ok i have this site adn i have added a nice custom 404 that also emails me where the person was and were they were trying to get to. its all working great appart from im getting 100's of emails with this:-
Requested Page: /404.phpReferred By: page removed so as not to advertiseRemote Addr: 220.127.116.11 ()Request URI: /404.php
and i dont know why the 404 is causing this error any help or suggestions would be lovely!
And what does your nice 404 page do? Redirect them to another page perhaps?
Yes, the home page.
<?php require_once("910363_Connections/loveit.php"); ?><?php include("header.php"); ?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk/"><title>404 Error Page</title>

404 Error

Whoops looks like you've turn too many pages! Or that theres been a mistake. Lets get you back on track our home page will load shortly.

 <?php$url = $SERVER[ "REQUESTURI" ];$referrer = $SERVER[ "HTTPREFERER" ];if ( $referrer == "" )$referrer = "Unknown";if ($url!= "/sitemap.rdf"&& stristr($url, '/_vti_bin/') == FALSE&& stristr($url, '/siteinfo.xml') == FALSE&& stristr($url, '/MSOffice/clt') == FALSE){mail("email@example.com", "Page Not Found","Requested Page: " . $url. "\r\Referred By: " . $referrer. "\r\Remote Addr: " . $SERVER["REMOTEADDR"] . " (" . $SERVER["REMOTEHOST"] . ")". "\r\". "Cookies: \r\". implode(",", $_COOKIE). "\r\Request URI: " . $SERVER["REQUESTURI"]. "\r\","From: email@example.com" );}?>
Hmmm. that looks safe enough. I have seen some custom 404s that took the ?page and redirected to that. Not the safest, eg. a request for404.php?database_config_vals.phpwould show a sensitive file.
Maybe it's just script kiddies hoping yours does that and are trying to exploit it?
What does 910363_Connections/loveit.php do?
It holds the connection data for the back end MySQL for the site.... which i suppose i don't need or the 404 page thinking about... just loaded my emails had 4000 from this over night... :-/ need to track this down its bugging me.
<?php # xxx.php
//This file contains the database access information. This file also establishes//a connection to MySQL and selects the database.
//Set the database access information as constants.
define ('DB_USER', 'xxxxxx');define ('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx');define ('DB_HOST', 'xxxxxxxx');define ('DB_NAME', 'xxxxxxx');//Make the connection and then select the database...$loveit = @mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);@mysql_select_db (DB_NAME);?>
Try changing the $url assignment to $SERVER['THEREQUEST']; and see if that makes a difference. After all, any time the 404 is served, the URI is changed to the specified 404 page. At least that will tell you the actual script the visitor had requested.
ok, change it here?
<?php$url = $SERVER[ "THEREQUEST" ];$referrer = $SERVER[ "HTTPREFERER" ];if ( $referrer == "" )$referrer = "Unknown";if ($url!= "/sitemap.rdf"&& stristr($url, '/_vti_bin/') == FALSE&& stristr($url, '/siteinfo.xml') == FALSE&& stristr($url, '/MSOffice/clt') == FALSE){mail("firstname.lastname@example.com", "Page Not Found","Requested Page: " . $url. "\r\Referred By: " . $referrer. "\r\Remote Addr: " . $SERVER["REMOTEADDR"] . " (" . $SERVER["REMOTEHOST"] . ")". "\r\". "Cookies: \r\". implode(",", $_COOKIE). "\r\Request URI: " . $SERVER["REQUESTURI"]. "\r\"
made that change though nothing has change still getting 100 emails an hour.. should i give up and try it a different way? is there a different way?
Did all the e-mail continue to show {THE_REQUEST} to be for the 404 script? If so, someone must be attacking your system using the 404.php script. Download it and compare it with your master copy - I expect they will not be identical (look for a JavaScript at the start of the file which is a long eval() statement).
No, now for some reason that is no blank.Requested Page: Referred By: xxxxxxxxxxxxRemote Addr: 188.8.131.52 ()Cookies: 1.2103272747.1343728820.1343728820.1343728820.1,220.127.116.113728820,1,1.1343728820.1.1.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=love it magazine,defaultRequest URI: /404.php
When referrers are blank, it's because it's a direct request. Since noone in their right mind would request a 404 script (unless it carries a "payload" as discussed in post #10). In other words, I'll double my bet that you've been hacked and 404.php is their gateway!
Awesome ! umm and how would i sort this? ( my first hacked site EVER) any tips ?
First, run a WinMerge compare of your master file against the 404.php which is online (download to a different directory, of course). That will show exactly where any and all differences are.
Okay, your 404 is simple enough that all you need to do is LOOK at the code of the 404.php script you download. The

1) Matt Carkner won't be suspended, but how do the officials allow a guy to just jump somebody and throw that many punches and get away with it. I know, the NHL's belief is that the five-minute power play is more than enough punishment. Ridiculous. But he does have a disciplinary hearing today. If only the Rangers had a power play and had scored a couple during that five minutes.
2) I applauded Todd Bertuzzi's frontier justice the night before, so I'm not going to complain about Carkner … I mean, if I were a coach and a big grinder from the other team punched out my best player, I'd react that way, I think. Incidentally, Carkner is the guy who ended Derek Boogaard's season last year, right?
3) That said, there's a way to do it. Carkner could have cost his team big-time, and he not only didn't cost them, but the Senators benefited from the Rangers' all-for-one attitude when Brandon Dubinsky jumped in and got ejected. I can't wait to see how Dubinsky plays Game 3.
4) Maybe Ottawa will find out what most of the East's big boys already know, that the Rangers love games like this, and thrive in games like this. On the other hand, maybe we found out a little bit about Ottawa's ability to push back, which, frankly, I doubted after Game 1.
5) And if the Senators need a rallying cry, the Carl Hagelin elbow on countryman Daniel Alfredsson could be it. Wojtek Wolski and Hagelin have now concussed Alfredsson (though it hasn't been said that he has another one). I imagine Hagelin, who also has a hearing today, will be getting one of those Shanahan-special $2,500 couch-cushion-change fines.
6) But, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a game or two off because Alfredsson was injured — which should never, ever, ever, factor into the equation, but unfortunately, in the upside-down world of inane NHL justice, does. The Rangers are arguing that the Chris Phillips elbow on Ryan Callahan was just as bad. (In case you missed it late last night, Callahan is fine after taking a shot off the collarbone, and Ryan McDonagh is OK after getting hit in the onions on the tying goal).
7) Too bad Boyle's goal wasn't a winner. That would have been a cool story to write. Would have been a cool win for Tony from AZ, who remains in our thoughts and prayers.
8) Ottawa is obviously targeting Brad Richards, too, because I think they think he'll react. And Zenon Konopka got a few extra shots on Richards — unpenalized — during a third-period scrum. Interesting that Konopka and Chris Neil ended up being in on the tying and winning goals.
9) Henrik Lundqvist was pretty special again until his defense failed him around the goalmouth late.
10) That's six straight OT losses for the Rangers in the postseason.
11) Katie Strang of ESPN-NY, in trying to describe the Brandon Prust takedown of Erik Karlsson in the corner — which really wasn't a penalty, and wasn't called a penalty (see photo) — said it was "kind of a slew-elbow."
12) And while I know a lot of youse were nuts about the officiating, and it was bad … they got it right on the two majors and Dubinsky was the third-man in (though we had a game recently, didn't we, where somebody jumped in and didn't get the game misconduct; I can't remember the particulars. Anybody?). But I do think the officials let it get a little bit out of hand, and they had a rough night overall.
13) And there were two weird stoppages. One when Henrik Lundqvist's mask broke and they stopped play, another when there was a puck lodged on the back of the net from warmups and it came loose when the players were battling for the game puck, which was also on the back of the net. That was pretty weird.
14) Paging Chris Kreider?
15) Who said it would be 1-1 after two? Same person who said Rangers in 5.
16) And I'm not even going to mention the word "momentum."

Male model Daniel Echaniz, 30, has been questioned by police after live images were shown of him in bed with 23-year-old Monique Amin.
"The young woman denies she was raped and has not pressed charges," police spokeswoman Edileide Macedo said.
"We continue to investigate the case because it is a public matter."
Television network Rede Globo has removed Echaniz from the reality TV house.
A video was posted on the internet and police were called in to investigate.
Officers collected evidence from the set of the reality show, including bed sheets, a police spokeswoman said.
Media outlets in Brazil reported that Monique Amin had passed out from drinking alcohol at a party before going to bed.
A statement from Globo TV said: "Chief of Police Antônio Ricardo Nunes, head of the 32ª Police Department of Rio de Janeiro, has been at Globo TV production centre to listen to the questioning of student Monique Amin and model Daniel Echaniz.
"They were both seen in intimate scenes at Big Brother Brazil 12, images that generated suspicion of sexual abuse.
"During her testimony, however, Monique said she was aware of the facts and acted deliberately.
"Globo TV looked into the facts once suspicion began, and all early indications pointed to similar scenes of past editions of the reality show.
"After evaluation, Globo TV decided to remove Daniel in order for him to also provide formal information to the police.
"The producers of the show determined that the participant's behaviour was inappropriate and prevent him from returning."
While participants have been kicked off Big Brother productions in other countries for sexually questionable behaviour, this is the first disqualification on the Brazilian show.
The show, which began in 1997, is now in its 12th series with the winner receiving $830,000 (£540,000).

Topic: Tattoo
I went to a tattoo party yesterday with my design (from the Internet). I now have a tattoo on my left calf that says FAITH and HOPE. it's really cool... One way it reads FAITH and the other way it reads HOPE. I had it colored green and purple and FAITH is facing me when I look down.
Was I allowed to get one? I have no idea. But it's something I've been wanting to do for 2 years now.

Each new year, people promise themselves that they will get better organized, read more, lose weight, be kinder, and tackle a host of other resolutions they may or may not keep. Here's one resolution you can accomplish: It's called Inbox Zero, and it will make you more productive with email -- that tool you use all the time.
Inbox Zero encourages people to keep their inboxes clean and clutter-free by making sure it is emptied daily. It's a concept developed and promoted by Merlin Mann, an independent writer, speaker, and broadcaster. I don't know about you, but I have about 10,000 messages in my inbox and could probably benefit from a new method or system that would help me deal with all of that mail flow.
[ Get the details on what's new in Exchange 2013 and what's new in Windows Server 2012. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
The Inbox Zero idea is to use folders, filters, and focus to get your mail better organized. A big key to this is to delete junk mail like mad rather than letting it sit in your inbox. Even beyond the stuff our spam filter catches, we all get tons of junk mail each day. The only way to keep it from crowding out your real email is to adamantly delete the junk, do your best to unsubscribe to those emails you no longer read, and divert those borderline emails you might or might not read into a folder using filters.
The first part of the Inbox Zero process begins with what Mann calls a DMZ: You create a new folder called DMZ and move everything you currently have in your inbox into that folder. That way, you start with a zeroed-out inbox.
Your next step is to create folders to which you can filter content. Some people go with a folder structure that relates to timeframes of when they need to get to a matter (today, tomorrow, next week, and so on), and others categorize emails by subject (newsletters, friends, business); some people use a combination of approaches. It's a process, not a one-time thing; it will take a little while to cultivate the right folder set for your needs.
Mann recommends a few additional activities to assist with email overload syndrome, including altering your email check-in schedule so that you aren't constantly interrupted by new email and "living in your inbox."
Most of all, Mann encourages lots of deletion. He says to ask yourself the question: What does this message mean to me and why do I care? If you cannot answer that question, delete the email. If a message does mean something to you, determine what action is required on your part (read and file, read and respond, and so on) -- then do it. He encourages people to focus on the action that needs to be taken to respond to messages quickly (perhaps using templates for those short, repetitive responses) so that emails don't linger and draw you back later.

PHILADELPHIA - Senior captain Alyssa Baron became the program's third all-time leading scorer, freshman Sydney Stipanovich set the school's single-season blocks record, junior Kara Bonenberger was two rebounds shy of a double-double and junior Renee Busch came to the resue late in the second half. All that led the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team to its seventh straight win, 60-52, over Yale on Friday night at The Palestra.
With the win, Penn (15-5, 5-1 Ivy) clinched its second straight winning season -- the program's first back-to-back winning campaigns since 2003-04 and 2004-05. The Quakers also snapped a four-game home losing streak to the Bulldogs (10-11, 4-3 Ivy), who had won eight of the previous nine meetings.
Penn jumped out to an 11-4 lead behind five points from Baron. Her three gave the Quakers the seven-point edge at the 14:55 mark and moved her into third-place on Penn's all-time career scoring list. She finished with 14 points -- her 89th career game in double figures -- and ranks 14th all-time in Ivy scoring with 1,667 career points.
However, on the next defensive possession, Baron picked up her second foul and had to head to the bench. The Quakers maintained that lead though, with help from the bench. Junior Katy Allen and senior Courtney Wilson combined for six points and Penn led, 24-17, with 8:23 until the half.
Yale went on a 12-2 run over the next five minutes to take its first lead of the game, 29-26. But Penn scored the last six of the half. It would have been eight, but Baron's bucket at the buzzer was waved off when she was called for a charge - her third foul. So Penn held a 32-29 advantage at the break.
Yale scored on the first possession of the second half. The Bulldogs then went six minutes without a point. Meanwhile, Bonenberger and Baron took over. They combined for 11 points in a 13-0 run and put Penn up, 45-31, with 13:05 to go.
During that stretch, Stipanovich rejected several Yale shot attempts. She finished with eight for the game and now owns the single-season school record. Katarina Paoulsen held the Penn standard for 20 years with 72 blocks during the 1993-94 season.
The Bulldogs regrouped with their second 12-2 run of the game. That pulled Yale within 47-43 with 7:57 remaining.
Enter Busch. She has been a sniper off the bench this season, shooting a team-best 40 percent from beyond the arc. She displayed more of that prowess at just the right time on Friday. She swished a three just in front of Penn's bench to end a stretch of nearly six minutes without a field goal.
Just two minutes later, Busch was at it again. From the opposite wing, she swished another three and put the Quakers up 55-43. On the next possession, Stipanovich converted a three-point play and capped a 12-0 run. That gave Penn a 58-43 edge with 4:07 to play.
Yale was never within 10 again.
Inside the Numbers
Stipanovich had a near triple-double with 15 points, nine rebounds and eight blocks on 6-of-10 shooting. She has now had three games with eight or more blocks. Prior to this season, no Penn player had ever recorded more than seven blocks in a game.
Bonenberger had a game-high 16 points, eight rebounds and three blocks on 6-of-9 shooting. Baron added a team-high four assists. Senior captain Meghan McCullough had a game-high four steals and added four rebounds. In addition to her six points, Busch had three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes. Wilson finished with four points, three rebounds and a block in seven minutes.
Penn improved to 29-1 over the last three seasons when shooting better than 40 percent. The Quakers were 22-of-48 (45.8%) from the field and 3-of-11 (27.3%) from three.
Outside of allowing 25 offensive rebounds, the Quakers defense -- which ranks sixth in the nation -- stifled Yale, which shot just 7-of-35 (20.0%) in the second half and 20-of-71 (28.2%) for the game. The Bulldogs were 3-of-15 (20.0%) from downtown. Yale held the overall rebounding advantage, 43-41.

The first floor features the Master bedroom with en-suite walk-in closet and a generously spaced Master bathroom. This floor consists of two additional rooms, which could be used as bedrooms as well. The undeveloped 2nd floor offers enough space to create another 3 bedrooms as well as bathrooms. Even the attic could still be developed.
The souterrain of the house leaves nothing to be desired: it features a spacious wellness area as well as a guest or staff unit with all the possible comfort. All side rooms, the technical and utility room as well as several storage rooms are located in the souterrain as well.
This truly luxurious mansion also features a level garden as well as a small pavilion and a canopied terrace invite to enjoy and linger. All in all, this estate is a true must-have!
The purchase price without furniture would be € 3.800.000,00
Situated in a tranquil and green area and yet being able to take advantage of all the cultural institutions (Casino Baden, theatres, numerous first-class restaurants) of the resort town Baden is what makes this grand estate with a beautiful population of mature trees in the spacious park-garden a treasure to be found.

I'm trying to make some clouds move with a parallax effect but it doesn't seem to be working.

midY: "500000px",
foreX: "-8000px",
foreY: "200000px",
and all files and images in the necesaary places. Is there a problem with where I have positioned the code?Much appreciation for any help in advance
here is the site Sakeenah Education Centre
Hi there,
when I inspect your page using the console in Chrome, I see:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.com/clouds.cssFailed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.com/js/easing.js
That is to say, your page is trying to load these files and the server is responding with a 404.
Maybe you need easing.js for the parallax effect to work, probably the other file, too.
HI thanks. Hmm not sure why that is as I have the clouds.css and /js/easing.js uploaded there
the css should be side to side with:
with the easing.js in the js folder. Is there anything else that you can think of hat waould cause this not to work?
In your HTML you have:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clouds.css" />
That resolves to: http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.com/clouds.cssFile is located at: http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/clouds.css

That resolves to: http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.com/js/easing.jsFile is located at: http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/js/easing.js
I just checked again and I'm now also getting a 404 on BGParallax.js
GET http://www.sakeenaheducationcentre.com/js/jquery.BGParallax.js 404 (Not Found)
sorry I should have said that I'm using wordpress so the full url's show as http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop and then the rest. My header file is located at http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/header.php and then my css files are side by side such as my http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/style.css ( which works ) and this new http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/clouds.css ( which is not working ) then the js folder http://sakeenaheducationcentre.com/wp-content/themes/StyleShop/js ( with all the other js files working )
ok so putting in the full url seems to get it to work however not how I want it to. It's back to the drawing board ( adobe ) to try againThanks for your help will be back though I think as not going according to plan so far
Yeah paths can be a bit confusing in WP sometimes (<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?> and all that).
Anyways, I just checked the page again and the errors seem to be gone, so I guess you got that part figured out.
Did that help with the parallax scrolling?
well putting in the fulpath made it behave strangely. It took away my front page slider ( so you could only see the left of it ) and no animations were visable. The only thing I can think of is the html in the code. In the code ( tutorial ) file it has this:

I never placed this code anywhere as it is the clouds in the body background picture that I am trying to animate ( I mean this body bg with the clouds. So my goal is to move the clouds. Where and how then should I place the id's above as there are 4 of them?
Hi hantahh,
I would imagine that the above code is relatively central to the parallax scrolling effect, but I'm not sure what you need to place where.
My advice would be to make the most basic demo you can (based on whatever tutorial you are following), then start to add to that, checking each step along the way.
BTW, there was a thread about parallax scrolling recently where Logic Ali presented a really nice solution. Maybe you could use that: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?948974-Help-needed-for-an-auto-scrolling-layered-parallax-effect
Ok so tried it on my wamp server and it all works but what I mean is that it's only one html page on there so all I have is basically the header links and function call and the the html in the body
Now trying to get this to work on my real website, the backgroud picture I want to animate is in the body tag itself, so at the moment my background is here:
 and my css is body { background-image: url('images/body-bg.jpg'); } so how to I get the 3 id's ( #back, #midground, #foreground ) into the body tag for it to work, or am I wrong in thinking the id's go there. I'm slightly confused
I don't think this can work.
You have this:

and you are trying to do this:

i.e. that one div encloses the other two.
Can you not just create an extra background div, place it within the body and set all the background properties on that?
so how do I get my background image do animate with this if you see what I mean. I mean the clouds here
If all you want to do is animate the clouds at a different speed to the content, I would recommend Logic Ali's function that I mentioned in post#8.
I think it should work on the body element.
ok, I'll take a look, right now you'll probably laugh at what I got going on now
See it here ( I'll be taking it off in a few mins tho )
Whoa, that is trippy!!Do you want the clouds to be moving on their own?
it was worse, the clouds were falling like snow before that! I can get them to go different times and directions. I'm just trying to get them behind all the rest of the content ( ie the menus and sliders etc ) and trying to get the clouds lower ( behind the slider )
also, just noticed none of my menus or links work
GREAT NEWS!!! I figured it out. It was the z-index for the page wrap. It needed to be higher.
So I am left with one more thing to fix / know...How do I move the clouds down more so they are not so close to the top and how do I move the sun more over to the right?
If I cahnge the top / bottom / right / left in the css the clouds and sun dissapear or get cut off
Nice one!However, it seems I misunderstood the effect you were aiming for. I would have called that more of an animated background effect, as I was under the impression that parallax scrolling was an effect that you saw when you, well, scrolled ...However, I just checked wikipedia which says:
Parallax scrolling is a special scrolling technique in computer graphics, wherein background images move by the camera slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth ...
So, it seems you were right This also means that Ali's function I pointed you at previously wouldn't have been much use in this case.
Did you get this sorted out?I just had a look at the site, and they look fine to me.They disappear behind the main container div, which is what I would have thought was best.
Either way, nice site!
To be honest, all I really wanted initially was to animate the clouds. I had asked previously about this but to no avail then I found this parallax code from code canyon. It seems that parallax consists of 4 different layers all moving at different speeds and directions giving this 3d effect.
I like it and the idea very much!!!
I did sort out the issue after. It seemed that playing with the margins moved the whole layer and there are 4 layers so then each layer was overlapping the other so it required some sitting and thinking on so I kept the layers in the same places and added the extra space to the images themselves, that worked out
Thanks again for all your help - This forum is such a great place for learning! Another great learning curve!
For starters, you are loading two copies of the jQuery library, both different versions. That is going to cause problems for sure.

AmdInside - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkIt is not eVGA's first power supply. They've sold a rebranded Antec power supply in the past as an eVGA power supply. Wonder if this is an in house designed or rebranded power supply. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkIf their PSUs are made to their specs and similar quality to the competition, they'll differentiate with legendary customer service. The only thing worst than having expensive hardware fail is the prospect of having to RMA the thing, but EVGA makes that entire process virtually painfree and effortless.
They also have two major establish product lines that give them natural inroads to this PSU market with their Nvidia GPUs and Intel motherboards. I know fans of EVGA have been asking for EVGA PSUs for some time, but they are a fickle and demanding bunch so the quality has to be there or they won't bite. Hopefully EVGA delivers.
Looks like a monster PSU though, everything you need to run 4-way SLI on one of their 4-way boards. Reply
ATOmega - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkIf by "legendary customer service", you mean making customers pay for shipping on products that are defective through no fault of their own....Then I guess so?
I have two eVGA video cards and they're fine and all. But they kinda just stick to reference designs. Reply
poolmanjim - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkYou mean the same thing that nearly every computer hardware company does? Newegg makes you pay the return shipping and so does Logitech. I agree it is kind of a silly business practice. Why spend $X00 on a killer video card to have it go bottom up on you, just so you can keep it and not pay the $10 return shipping on principle?
EVGA may use the reference design but they have some of the best warranties and best support in the industry. I for one hate the fact that I can't buy more EVGA stuff. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkProducts fail, not sure what to tell you but to say their warranty practices are somehow deficient is a joke. Honestly PC hardware, and graphics cards in particular have some of the most generous warranties in ANY technology industry.
Where else are you going to find lifetime warranties on high ticket items like this. Break your iPhone out of warranty? Tough luck. Your monitor or HDTV goes belly up after the 1-2 yr warranty expires? Not only are you paying for shipping, you're paying to get it repaired too.
In any case, they have the best warranty standards in the industry, in a sector of the industry that is far better than any other tech industry. Reply
Sabresiberian - Saturday, January 14, 2012 - linkI don't see how you could possibly say EVGA sticks to reference designs when they have a slew of mainboards and even GTX 580s that, well, aren't reference designs by any stretch of the imagination.
Every manufacturer makes "reference design" products. Pretty much every video card manufacturer will make products that are slight variations on the reference design. EVGA certainly does that, but to say or imply that's all they do is inaccurate.
;) Reply
jonnyGURU - Sunday, January 15, 2012 - linkIn actuality, all Nvidia and ATI cards are reference at launch. Only when Nvidia and ATI go "virtual" can cards be something other than reference. This is when Nvidia releases BOM's, schematics, etc. But by then, new cards are no longer new. You can make higher performance or cheaper versions of the card and they may sell well, but those who like to buy bleeding edge products have moved on, therefore they have the impression that most, if not all, products are reference.

Beenthere - Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - linkBling will sell even useless or over priced gadgets. This one comes with a handle so you can carry it around to impress your friends when it's not plugged into your PC... DUH. Reply
robert3892 - Thursday, January 12, 2012 - linkI think we'll see EVGA bring new features into the PSU market and they are not rebadged units. they are designed by EVGA. It will be interesting to see what the prices and warranty will be like. Reply

wumpus - Friday, January 13, 2012 - linkBit of a problem here. According to code, a standard US 15A line should draw no more than 1440W. Assuming the thing passes 80% with flying colors (all the way up to 1500), a 1500W supply will draw 1800W (conceivably 15.5A, even assuming perfect power factor correction), and better trip the breaker.
You know you have gone to far when it is time to rewire the office outlet for you computer. Time to learn how to wire a relay and plug two decent power supplies into separate breakers. Reply
jonnyGURU - Friday, January 13, 2012 - linkWhere is it stated that they should draw no more than 1440W? 15A is obvious, but I've never seen a wattage rating. Reply
Cheezecroissant - Thursday, February 16, 2012 - linksimple.. P = E x I
Power (watts) = E(Volts) x I (amps)
I = 1440w \ 120V = 12A
Breakers will overcurrent trip at >80% of their rated load, so a 15A breaker should trip when sustained current draw exceeds 12A. Reply

Nothing fancy, just 2 pounds of ground beef doctored up with some store-brand A.1. and a little hot sauce. I had planned on making regular burgers but when I found a dozen mini kaiser rolls I decided to change things up a bit. I only had 3 slices of American cheese so I made 6 with cheese and 6 without.
They turned out pretty good and had a nice bit of extra flavor from the sauce. It's fun to try new and different things but sometimes a regular old burger hits the spot!

(New York) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai should take urgent action to fight child marriage and domestic violence or risk further harm to development and public health in Afghanistan, Human Rights Watch said today in a letter [1] to the president.
In the 15-page briefing paper, "Afghanistan: Ending Child Marriage and Domestic Violence [2]," Human Rights Watch highlights the health and economic consequences of marriage under age 18 and violence against women and girls. Karzai, who is barred by term limits from running in the April 2014 presidential election, should make full enforcement of the 2009 Law on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (the EVAW Law) a priority for his last year in office.
"President Karzai's signing of the violence against women law in 2009 ushered in vital protections against child marriage and domestic violence," said Liesl Gerntholtz, women's rights director at Human Rights Watch. "By ensuring the law is enforced, Karzai would leave a lasting legacy of support for the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan."
The law imposed tough new penalties for abuse of women, including making child marriage and forced marriage crimes under Afghan law for the first time. Child marriage remains common in Afghanistan, increasing the likelihood of early pregnancy, which heightens the risk of death and injury in childbirth. According to a 2010 mortality survey by the Ministry of Public Health, 53 percent of women in the 25-49 age group were married by the age of 18; 12 percent of Afghan girls aged 15-19 became pregnant or gave birth; and 47 percent of deaths of women aged 20 to 24 were related to pregnancy. It found that one Afghan woman died every two hours because of pregnancy.
Child marriage and early pregnancy also contributes to fistula, a preventable childbirth injury in which prolonged labor creates a hole in the birth canal. A 2011 government report found that 25 percent of the women and girls diagnosed with fistula were younger than 16 when they married and 17 percent were under 16 when they first gave birth. Fistula leaves one leaking urine or feces, and often results in social ostracism, loss of earning capacity, medical expenses for treatment, and depression. Left untreated, fistula can cause further serious medical problems, even death.
Children born as a result of child marriages also suffer increased health risks. The 2010 mortality survey found a higher death rate among children born to Afghan mothers under age 20 compared to those born to older mothers, which reflects global findings.
"Afghan officials should act to end the harm being caused by child marriage," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "The damage to young mothers, their children, and Afghan society as a whole is incalculable."
Domestic violence harms individual women and their families and also takes an economic toll on society, including through healthcare costs and lost productivity, Human Rights Watch said. Domestic violence is alarmingly common in Afghanistan: a 2006 study by Global Rights, an international nongovernmental organization, found 85 percent of Afghan women reporting that they had experienced physical, sexual, or psychological violence or forced marriage. An estimated 2,000 Afghan women and girls attempt suicide by setting themselves on fire each year, which is linked to domestic violence and early or forced marriages.
In the decade since the overthrow of the Taliban government, Afghanistan has failed to take measures adopted by other Islamic countries and countries with large Muslim populations to curtail child marriage and domestic violence, Human Rights Watch said. Bangladesh, Egypt, and Jordan among others have increased the minimum age of marriage to 18. Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Malaysia have introduced legal reforms to combat domestic violence.
At a donor conference in Tokyo in July 2012, the Afghan government promised to do more to enforce the EVAW law in return for $16 billion in pledges for future aid to Afghanistan. The government should also implement the 2008 Plan of Action for the Advancement of Women adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The plan of action calls for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, including preventing early and forced marriages, which are considered an impediment to improving the health, education, political participation, social justice, and well-being of women.
Human Rights Watch urged Karzai to initiate awareness campaigns about the harms of child marriage and domestic violence, and to urgently take the following measures:

Harbor WhisperJet 38EC — By Tim Clark
January 2001
Retro Rocket
|The jet age and an ageless design combine on Little Harbor's WhisperJet 38EC.
I should admit that I have an affinity for Little Harbor yachts. As a former commercial fisherman--weary veteran of dozens of crab and halibut seasons in the North Pacific--I recognize in their classic Downeast lines echoes of a lobster boat's ready attitude and able spirit. Combine that with speed, agility, and expertly wrought details, and you've got the embodiment of a "retired" fisherman's fantasy: A purposeful craft whose business is pure pleasure.
I tested Little Harbor's WhisperJet 38EC just off Fort Lauderdale in three- to four-foot seas that shared the same northeasterly origin as the light rain intermittently beading up the bridge windows. As I put her through her paces, she seemed sturdy and adroit, reaching speeds in excess of 37 mph at WOT. She turned smartly and smoothly, without too much of the lateral sliding to which some jet boats are prone. Living up to her name, she also kept pretty quiet. At 2750 rpm and running at a fast clip, the WhisperJet registered just 77 dB-A on my decibel meter (65 dB-A is the level of normal conversation). I was hardly aware of the effort required to raise my voice above this level. During acceleration tests the 38's 350-hp Yanmars with 274 Hamilton waterjets propelled her up out of the hole quickly and with notable grace. Her motion was measured and even--absent the labored lurch I've marked on other boats.
The 38's nimble planing is due in large part to the hull, a 1970s Ray Hunt design modified by Little Harbor's engineering team. Forty degrees of deadrise at the bow moderates to a mere 16 degrees at the stern. Such modest deadrise at the transom maximizes lift and helps the boat plane quickly, and it also improves her maneuverability in close quarters. But as Mike Silverman, Little Harbor's director of sales and marketing, told me, it is a compromise. As we found during our test, the 38 tends to ride atop the chop, rather than cut through it as a conventional deep-V would. In a head sea of three to four feet, at speeds approaching 30 mph, our boat occasionally came down pretty hard as she moved from one wave to the next.
Certainly the Little Harbor 38 can take a few bumps. The Corecell A550-cored hull and deck are vacuum-bagged with a composite laminate of Kevlar and E-glass laid in a vinylester resin osmosis barrier. Further reinforced with composite stringers and FRP-laminated marine plywood bulkheads, the hull is light and strong.
This hardy structure buoys a superbly finished craft. Standard varnished teak graced many features, including the caprail, coaming, and backrests. On the bridge, use of this wood was redoubled to great effect. The laid teak deck is standard, as is the varnished teak of the bifold companionway door, the inside of the windshield frame, even the trim on the wheel. Of special richness were the optional, hand-rubbed bridge table (the focal point for an L-shape settee) just to port of the centerline and lift-top chart table before a port-side navigator's seat.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/12/2013 (1329 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This year will go down in the books as an average year for sales of investment properties in Winnipeg, according to preliminary data compiled by Colliers International.
The commercial real estate firm said with about a week left in the year, a total of 77 commercial properties had changed hands for about $425 million.
That dollar total is about on par with the yearly average for the last decade, the company said. And while it was also a 21.4 per cent improvement from 2012's tally of $350 million, it still fell well short of the record of $762 million set in 2007.
Don White, executive vice-president of national investment services with Colliers Winnipeg office, said the biggest difference between this year and 2007 was supply.
"If our market saw more volume on the listings side, we'd see more sales."
He also noted that, unlike in 2007, there weren't any large portfolios of properties that became available this year to help boost the year-end numbers.
He said one of the year's biggest transactions was last January's sale of two retail properties -- Madison Square on Ness Avenue and Rougeau Plaza on Regent Avenue -- to Toronto-based Stathallen Capital Corp. for $60 million.
Another was Artis Real Estate Investment Trust's acquisition of the remaining 50 per cent stake in the Royal Bank office tower at 220 Portage Ave. for $40 million. (It already owned the other 50 per cent).
White noted there was still a lot of interest in the Winnipeg market this year from out-of-province and institutional investors.
"Really what has happened is our city has become a very real secondary-investment market in Canada," he explained. "There is a lot of out-of-town money wanting to get into this market."
He said out-of-town investors like the fact Manitoba has a diversified and stable economy that doesn't see the kinds of wild fluctuations some other provinces experience.
They also like the fact Winnipeg is in Western Canada, which has been the country's best-performing region in recent years, he added.
Ken Jones, chairman of the Winnipeg Realtors Association's commercial division, agreed 2013 was "a somewhat typical year" for commercial real estate transactions.
"No one segment of the market hit any home runs, but they couldn't exactly be called stagnant, either."
Jones also cited the Royal Bank office tower deal as of the year's most notable investment-property transactions.
He said one of the highlights in the industrial sector was the unveiling of several new projects at CentrePort -- the new inland port that's under development on the western edge of the city. In the retail sector, he singled out the ongoing redevelopment of the former Canad Inns Stadium site into a new mixed-use development that will include the city's first and only stand-alone Target department store.
"And last, and arguably the least, was the office market," he said, "which mostly consisted of the continuing shell game of existing tenants moving from one location to another, with unfortunately very few requirements from new companies coming to Winnipeg."
Jones, who is an office-leasing specialist with Shindico Realty Inc., said another interesting aspect of 2013 was the rash of exciting new capital works projects that were announced.
Among them were the proposed SkyCity Centre retail/condominium development on Graham Avenue, the $180-million-plus expansion of the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg, the proposed redevelopment of the James Avenue pumping station on Waterfront Drive, the proposed Grant Park Pavilions mixed-use development on Taylor Avenue and the commencement of work on a new Alt Hotel, which is part of the 311 Portage Avenue at Centrepoint development.
"The list is impressive by any standard," he said, "and with any luck, they will all reach full potential."
Jones said that with all these developments taking place, "2014 should be very interesting, indeed."
"And I'm anticipating (this) will not go unnoticed by the major national and international players who will be attending the Winnipeg Real Estate Forum scheduled for the spring," he added.
White also predicted local and out-of-province investors and developers will be watching closely to see how quickly all of this retail, office and multi-family residential space is absorbed into the market.
"The developers will build it if the people demonstrate a willingness to pay for it," he added.

Yoga Is Good Medicine
It protects against some diseases.
-Jane Farrell
Yoga isn't only a great stress-reducer, it can also protect you against some diseases.
A recent study found that experienced yoga practitioners were likelier than novices to have low levels of inflammation in their body. And a high level of inflammation is a factor in heart disease, depression, and asthma, according to www.livescience.com.
Read 5 Ways Yoga Can Improve Your Love Life
Researcher Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, of Ohio State University told livescience that "the study is the first one, I think, to really suggest how yoga could have some distinctive physical benefits in terms of the immune system." Inflammation, an immune response, is good when you're battling an infection. But other than that, high levels of inflammation, which usually occur at times of stress, have been linked to some illnesses.
The people who took part in the study were divided into two groups: experienced practitioners who had done yoga for two years, and novices who had taken six to twelve lessons. Both groups were given stressful tasks for body and mind: immersing a foot in warm water and then in ice water for one minute, followed by five minutes of mental arithmetic. Researchers took blood as the women did the tasks and examined it for a protein that's known as a "marker of inflammation," livescience wrote.
The result: The novices showed a protein level 41 percent higher than the experienced practitioners.
Kiecolt-Glaser says yoga may work because it emphasizes deep, controlled breathing, which can improve the body's reaction to stress. And it's exercise, which can reduce inflammation.
Just another reason to dust off that yoga mat. (livescience)

A DRAMATIC timelapse video has just been released showing the new Thurrock Campus of South Essex College rise from the ground in just 60 seconds.
It shows the site being cleared, the shops on New Road being demolished and the huge metal frame being erected.
The new build has two separate buildings and opens in Grays high street this September, with this video focussing on the larger West Building as it fills the screen and space that was there before it.
Angela O'Donoghue, Principal and Chief Executive for the College, said: "It's astonishing to see the £45million building be formed in front of your very eyes. It is all on time and will be handed over to the College by the main contractors, Skanska, in July."
The College will then be working on transferring items from the current Thurrock Campus and readying student and staff areas with new equipment and new facilities ready for this coming September.

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!
Stress and anxiety interfere with your ability to learn and recall material. This is because your mind is diverting its attention towards worrying. If you are not devoting your full attention to the learning task, it shouldn't be any surprise that you are not learning effectively.
Test anxiety is a very common problem with students. The student may know the material very well, but when put into a test environment, their recall ability is impaired by anxiety. Worrying about things like the time limit of the test or getting stuck on a problem can cause enough stress to interfere with recall.
