About This Class
Recently selected as Udemy CEO Dennis Yang's #1 Staff Pick and updated for 2015, this course will teach you how to hack your learning, reading, and memory skills, empowering you to learn anything and everything faster and more effectively.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply embarking on a new hobby, you are forced to grapple with an every-increasing amount of information and knowledge. In fact, it's believed that one week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than people 100 years ago encountered in their entire lives. We've all experienced the frustration of an ever-growing reading list, struggling to learn a new language, or forgetting things you learned in even your favorite subjects.
Anyone can develop Super-Learning skills
This course is about improving your ability to learn new skills or information quickly and effectively. We go far beyond the kinds of "speed-reading" (or glorified skimming) you may have been exposed to, diving into the actual cognitive and neurological factors that make learning easier and more successful. We also give you advanced memory techniques to grapple with the huge loads of information you'll be able to process.
You'll learn how to input and retain information in a whole new way - a faster, better way
The core of this SuperLearning course involves 3 "super skills":
- Speed-reading with high (80%+) comprehension and understanding
- Memory techniques for storing and recalling vast amounts of information quickly and accurately
- Developing the cognitive infrastructure to support this flood of new information long-term
However, the SuperLearning skills you'll learn in this course are applicable to many aspects of your every day life, from remembering phone numbers to acquiring new skills or even speaking new languages.
How we'll teach you SuperLearning and advanced memory techniques
The sad irony is that in order to learn most of these superlearning skills and memory techniques in the past, you had to read dozens of books and psychological journals. Or, you had to hire an expensive private tutor who specializes in superlearning. That's what I did. And it changed my life.
Fortunately, my instructors (experts in the fields of superlearning, memory techniques, and speed-reading) have agreed to help me transform their materials into the first ever digital course.
We've designed a course based heavily on video-lectures and a great deal at-home exercises. The lecture components are only a small part of this superlearning course - you will be practicing various exercises and assignments on a regular basis. The course will require 2-3 hours of memory and speed-reading practice and training per week and training, and last roughly 4-6 weeks. It won't be easy - but if you put in the work, you are guaranteed to succeed.
In addition to the lectures, there is an additional 1.5 hours of supplemental video content from TED, YouTube, and other sources which are considered part of the course curriculum.
"SuperLearner" is a trademark of Jonathan Levi.

Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- To prepare topping: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar into each muffin cup. Sprinkle nuts, if using, over the sugar. Stack pineapple slices and cut into 6 wedges. Place 2 wedges in each muffin cup.
- To prepare muffins: Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in oil, juice, and vanilla. Stir in crushed pineapple. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in carrot, oats, raisins, and nuts, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they'll be quite full).
- Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch, 15 to 25 minutes. Immediately loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a baking sheet.

So been out 5 times, haven't gotten physical beyond a lengthy pash in the car, she doesn't answer her phone (i've only ever tried calling twice in all this time) and she doesn't reply to texts for days!! What is going on? Why go out with me once a week but have ZERO contact in between? Do any guys have or had similar experience? Girls do any of you do this to guys? Is there any chance that she likes me at all?
Most Helpful Girl
Well that is weird that there isn't communication between dates... and if that happens more it should be addressed. If someone doesn't respond to messages for days or doesn't have small talk over the phone and you're dating? It doesn't seem like they want to be bothered with you. You should talk fo her the next time you all go out and find out if she's serious about furthering your relationship. Analyze her behavior on dates, does she seem entertained and happy by your company? Or does she look like she could care less she was there?00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
It sounds like she might be dating someone else at the same time. I think if you want to try to make it work you should ask her because we can speculate all day long but she is the one who knows the answer.00|00|0

The unprecedented population surge in Kenya has left the country with near 43 million people and continues to steadily increase. This has led to competition and depletion of land and natural resources. In many parts of the country, available land is shrinking, either due to urbanization or cultural land dividing traditions. For many families struggling to make ends meet, the sale of their land is viewed as the only option. Most households in urban areas nowadays must depend on ¼ acre plots to meet their daily needs in times when unpredictable climactic conditions are making it even harder to farm. The depletion of farm land has caused harsh economic times that result in a rise in food prices, farm inputs, and animal feeds. These factors have made the production of enough food unattainable, aggravating hungry and poverty-stricken households. However, small-scale farmers in urban areas can better utilize their land through sustainable agricultural methods. These methods are often low cost, practical, and can contribute to their daily food needs. One of the best opportunities for small-scale farmers can be through indigenous poultry production.
The four main benefits of raising indigenous chickens are:
- They are easy to establish for low-income families.
- They are more prolific and unproblematic to rear on small plots of land.
- They are more genetically diverse, well adapted, and more resistant to local pests and diseases.
- They are vital for future food security, leading towards self-employment and self-reliance.
The chicken (Gallus domesticus) is a fowl that is said to be one of the most widely domesticated animals in recorded history. Charles Darwin considered chickens descendants of a single wild species, the red jungle fowl, which is found in the wild from India through Southeast Asia to the Philippines. Genetic analyses have shown that every breed of domestic chicken can be traced to the red jungle fowl. Scientists estimate that they were domesticated roughly 8,000 years ago in what is now Thailand and Vietnam (Encarta DVD, 2008).

|ivy.xml, strict location convention or configurable?
|Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:04:09 GMT
I'm using Ivy 2.0 beta2 and I've read all the documentation and search this mailing list. I wish to invoke the retrieve task and specify the path an ivy-module configuration file. Doesn't appear to be an attribute and I can't seem to find any Ant property that I can use to specify the file before I invoke the task. Obviously, I can rename the ivy-module file to ivy.xml and place it directly in same directory as my Ant build and retrieve tasks works because I'm following the convention. I would just like to know if I can specify the location of the ivy-module configuration before calling retrieve. If its not permitted, it would be be a nice feature and consistent with the functionality provided by ${ivy.settings.file}.

*FYI - By "I" I actually mean WE. Yes, my partner and I seek females and couples for friends and possibly more together. Not to worry, she is incredible. You'll have no choice but to love her.
We prefer "free-range" meeting so we are more likely to tell you where we hang than to try and set up an awkward meeting. We have lots of fun and you will too, no matter where it leads.
ALSO: We are not seeking a "threesome" or some other contrived sexual fantasy. We seek organic connections with folks who believe every individual has equal standing. No relationship or person has more importance than another. We have no heirarchy in our world....
SEGUE: The rest of this section and profile is about ME, WickedProfessor. It's important to distinguish this so you realize that the rest of this profile has been here awhile and is almost biographical (or even Facebook like) in some ways. I have made many friends here on OKC and often communicate with them around the world with OKC. Often, I will be the one you talk with the first time BUT all communications will be immediately shared with my partner as soon as possible. We are in this together. My partner has mixed feelings about online dating and I can't blame her. I believe it is harder to be a female dating online than a male. She may add more here or her own profile in the future but, for now, we hope this will suffice...
Welcome to my nifty little attempt to define who I am so you can apply your filter and see if I flow through. I am here for friendship. I do not wish to confine myself or anyone else to a predetermined outcome or set of rules. My only rules are the ones that I tell my kids: be nice, be respectful, be thoughtful, and be happy. Most importantly, "Don't be a dick!"
I find it funny that we come on here telling others we are looking for this or that and MUST have that and this. I will not paint myself into that corner. I like meeting new people that are looking to experience life, both what they choose to do along with what happens along the way.
I will only consider folks that are stable and comfortable with who they are! I am very connected to my inner core and bare it for the world. I also desire to meet people focused on personal responsibility and empowerment in their relationships. I am straightforward, earnest, and FUN! I am a student of EVERYTHING I do. The more I like something, the better I am at it.
I am constantly working on living better, eating better, being in better shape. I have a devout yoga practice and workout almost daily. Fitness has become a central part of my life.
I strive to find the good all around us. It's really tough to watch the news and the horrible picture it paints of our world. When I ignore it and just live out my day, its amazing to witness the awesome humanity that surrounds us!
I'm looking for folks that strive for the same things all while focusing on having fun with it. I also love growing with the people in my life and helping along the path(s) when necessary. I have a very dear tribe of friends and I am extremely grateful for them. Love is very powerful in my life!
I can be exceptionally Dominant (but not extremely Sadist), always GGG, kinky, very unconventional, a non-monogamous relationship anarchist, passionately cutting edge and INTENSE, inspired, sociable, kind, and caring. I revel in finding/revealing/connecting to a woman's inner goddess.
I believe that is what people see first.
For the record: Despite what OKC says, NO ONE who knows me would say that I'm less playful or less good natured. I'm very much both, and in droves!
My favorite color is blue, I like weird flowers and daisies ... aw shit... this is such trivial stuff... I'm varied, eclectic, open-minded.
FOOD? Oh yeah, I like it!
You are dedicated to taking care of yourself in all possible ways... Mind, body, and spirit!

Hyderabad, Mar 29: Leg spinner Amit Mishra, the leading wicket taker for Deccan Chargers in the last edition of Indian Premier League, has said spinners need to be more skillful and should act fast in order to compete in the shortest version of the game.
Click here for full schedule of IPL 5
"Spinners need to have lot of skills and have to think fast and work on identifying the weaknesses of the opponents. If you have skills you can prove yourself even on batsmen friendly wickets," he told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.
"Spin bowlers always need to work on positive things and regulary need to improve their bowling skills."
According to the leg spinner, the biggest challenge in the shortest version of the game is to contain runs, as players will go for boundaries and huge hits every ball in order to keep the scorecard ticking. So there is a need for spinners to be skillful in order to restrict the batsmen to a decent score.
"For a spin bowler to prove himself ... it is very important to be skillful. One needs to have belief in himself and always need to try to improve their bowling for getting better performance," Mishra said.
When asked about his chances of staging a comeback, he has said the performance in IPL 5 is surely the key and looks forward to prove his worth in the mega event that is scheduled to start from April 4, 2012.
"I always try to give my best. I play with that motive whenever I get a chance. I believe in giving a better performance than the previous matches. IPL-IV is past and I am looking forward to IPL-V. Whatever opportunity I get, I try to prove myself, whether it is batting, bowling or fielding," he said.

Martinez tips Colunga success
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is confident Adrian Colunga would prosper in the Premier League.
By Ben Collins
Last Updated: 20/05/10 2:14pm
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is confident Spanish striker Adrian Colunga would prosper in the Premier League.
Colunga has impressed since being loaned to Real Zaragoza from second-division Recreativo Huelva in January and reports have linked the 25-year-old with a move to the DW Stadium.
Martinez watched Colunga score in Zaragoza's 3-3 draw with Villarreal on the final weekend of the La Liga season.
That took his tally to seven goals from seven starts for Zaragoza, while he made a further nine appearances from the bench, and he scored nine goals in 25 starts for Recreativo on their way to being relegated from La Liga last season.
But Martinez has not just been impressed by Colunga's finishing qualities - he feels he also has the pace and creativity to make it in England.
"Colunga is a good player who has done very well this season," said the Latics' manager.
"He has been a good player for Real Zaragoza, but not only for his speed.
"Colunga is also intelligent. He is a player who always creates problems and is very smart both with and without the ball.
"The way he has adapted to Zaragoza demonstrates the great player he is. And he wouldn't have trouble adapting to the way we play in England."

RHJul 2, 2006Already a useless show. It was one of the funniest new sitcoms of the fall, then they ran out of material from Rock's childhood to mine and its morphed into Bernie Mac (a show that thinks it's funny when it's not). I honestly didn't crack a smile through the season's last six or so episodes and I don't plan to continue watching further. A shame, really.
SKOct 13, 2005Barely enjoyable. Old and tired jokes.
AustinWOct 12, 2005The pilot was nothing new. Not edgy at all (like Rock's standup). Seemed like "Good Times" for a new generation... which, nostalgia aside, is not a good thing.
RODNEYGOct 10, 2005This is an obvious and blatant attempt to steal the idea that Howard Stern mentioned on the air and put into place a long time ago. He is doing "Howard Stern: The High School Years" and it is basically the same show that Rock is doing here. Only for the fact that Rock has good taste in who he copies, did i give the show a 5.
confusedpersonOct 7, 2005I saw the first show. I am unsure where these ratings are actually coming from. I thought this was more like a splash back to the Good Times Show. II really have to say that all of the actors are bad, actors. This is not another Bernie Mac.
SusanM.Oct 5, 2005I saw this last night for the first time. It was alright, but not as good as everyone goes on about. It has funny parts but the acting isn't that great.
Awards & Rankings
Let's get this straight. Everybody Hates Chris is not the Second Coming. But it is one of the season's best new series.
Should appeal to fans of Rock and to viewers who long for a family comedy reminiscent of "The Cosby Show" (albeit with a sharper edge).
The networks have been wondering how to compete with the no-holds barred nature of cable programming. This is it.

My husband and I are very sensitive to smells. So I thought the unscented kit would be perfect. Unfortunately it did have a scent similar to dial soap and the brush had an odd odor to it as well.... It is a great way to sample this line but not for us. I talked to Jasmine at LovelySkin and ordered another shaving cream. I love this site! Great products and outstanding customer service!!!
My husband loves The Art of Shaving. This kit is a great starter and also perfect for travel.
This was a gift for my husband, and he was so excited to get a nice shaving kit. That is, until he used it. He said the products left his skin dry, and when he used the brush, it left him smelling like a wet dog all day.
My husband loves this product so much and can't stop saying about it. He says it makes his skin smooth and so easy to shave. Now have to buy all in full size!

Mozilla has announced that they are pushing the Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 code freeze back to July 5 and the ship date back to July 11. The ship date was expected to be July 6 so this is about a 1-week delay.
The final Firefox 2.0 will hopefully still stay on schedule with the vague release date of August. The release would probably be towards the end of August because they also plan to release RC1 in August. Let's cross our fingers for an on-time release.
The latest meeting notes for Firefox 2.0 have not been published from yesterday's meeting, but they should be up soon. I am looking forward to reading the notes to see if they say anything about the Visual Refresh and the new default theme.

Kanpur, Sep 27 (UNI) A serial blast threat in the court premises ofthe industrial city today turned out to be a hoax.
Tight security arrangements were made at the court after the district judge office on thursday received a post card threatening of serial blasts.
A large number of police, including PAC and RAF, were deployed in and outside the court, besides bomb squads were pressed into service, who searched each and every corner, but nothing was found, SP (Kanpur East) Manoj Sonkar told UNI.
Metal detectors were also installed at the entrance and exit points and even vehicles were being checked in the court compound since morning, Mr Sonkar added.

Editor's note: Jim Caple spent Wednesday attempting to attend as many Olympic events as possible. This blog was updated as his travels continued. Check out where he landed. (All times are local.)
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- My favorite time of the Olympics is when I make literal use of my universal credential and try to go everywhere, attending as many events in one day as possible in my own Amazing Race. I attended seven events in one day at Torino in 2006 and 10 in one day at Beijing in 2008 but it will be a challenge this time to see even six here.
The issue is transportation connections. The Olympic shuttle network for the media generally works well but it's a bit like the old Eastern Airlines thing where every flight had to go through Atlanta. Here, every shuttle route goes through the main media centers in Vancouver and Whistler. This presents a major issue because the routes do not always mesh. Miss a connection by five minutes and you can be waiting almost an hour for the next shuttle.
I walk out of our Whistler condo at 9 a.m. and catch the shuttle to begin my journey. By the end of day, I'll travel via so many methods of transportation that I'll miss only John Candy setting fire to my car. But what the hell. Compared to what the Olympians did to reach their events, rushing to catch a couple buses doesn't seem like much.
10 a.m., Whistler Creekside, women's giant slalom: Lindsey Vonn came into the Games as the Michael Phelps of the Olympics, from the multiple medal predictions and media hype to the swimsuit -- she wore a bikini in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue the week after posing on the cover. ("She can show these pictures to her kids so they can see that Mom was super hot and super fast," U.S. teammate Kaylin Richardson said.) Then Vonn famously bruised her shin a week before the Olympics, emotionally expressed doubt whether she could compete, used Austrian cheese to speed the healing process and came back to win bronze in the Super G and gold in the downhill to become the Curt Schilling of the Olympics.
Things haven't gone so well since then. She didn't medal in the super-combined and there is no medal in today's GS, either.
Vonn's time at the last split is the best of the day but her ski tips cross rounding one gate and she flies off the course and into the mesh restraining barrier just before the final section of the course. She lies there in a heap for several minutes before rescue workers arrive and tend to her. "The bottom was getting chewed up," Vonn says later. "I thought I had a good roll. But then I lost the outside ski I was like a pretzel in the net."
She skies off the course on her own power but it looks as though she is going to need more cheese before her final race in Friday's slalom.
11:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m., Olympic Ski Park, men's 4x10km relay: It's a little odd to walk into a press tent the size of a hockey rink and find it filled with approximately 300 reporters and photographers, almost none of whom are American. The Nordic sports are very popular in Europe and in this case (as well as say, mandatory five-week vacations), the Europeans are right.
The 4x10km relay is the fourth cross-country race I've watched here and they have been by far the most exciting competitions of the Olympics. Unlike Alpine skiers who race against the clock and whose strategy consists of little more than getting down the hill as fast as possible, cross-country skiers race against each other. There are tactics, drafting, and in the relays in particular, vast amounts of time can be made up. And lost. In Tuesday's Nordic combined relay, the Americans went from 36 seconds up on the Austrians to 14 seconds down to half a second ahead to five seconds back at the finish. After a quarter-century covering sports, it normally takes the Stanford band running onto the field and the USC song girls running into the press box to get me excited but my heart has raced so much at this course, I may test Canada's socialized medicine system if the Americans medal.
They will not. The cross-country team came in with hopes of medaling for the first time in 34 years but has been largely disappointed. Kris Freeman, a Type 1 diabetic, had a sugar crash during the 30km pursuit and had to lie in the snow until a German coach gave him some Gatorade to drink. Things don't go much better for Torin Koos (how could he go into any other sport with such a name?) who turns a daunting half-minute deficit into a more than two-minute deficit while skiing the second leg of the relay and leaves the U.S. well out of it.
It could be worse though. Norway's Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset has an equally disappointing second leg that pretty much dooms his team's gold-medal chances, though he makes up for it with gold-medal honesty in the postrace interview room. "My name is Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset," he tells the media, "I skied the second leg and I f---ed up today."
He then went on to put particular blame on his having "seen too much porn in the last 14 days." No, seriously.
And I thought Johnny Weir was a good quote. By the way, according to his bio on the start list, Finland's Matti Heikkinen turned to cross-country at age 13 after playing baseball. Yes, baseball in Finland. I would love to ask him about this but it will have to wait until another day because I have a shuttle to catch.
12:30-1 p.m., Shuttle back to Whistler: I have precisely 30 minutes to get back to Whistler in order to catch the 1 p.m. bus to Vancouver. If I'm late, I'll have to wait until the 2 o'clock bus, which will completely mess up my schedule. Fortunately, I have gold medalist driver Amy Sievert at the wheel and she assures me we'll be in Whistler on time. I trust her. She got me from Whistler to Olympic Park in 27 minutes for the relay. Plus, she knows her business. She and another woman not only drove from her Dallas base to Whistler in 23 hours (road time), they brought the bus with them. "The bus you're sitting in." She'll not only drive back to Dallas after the Olympics end, she'll return for the Paralympics next month.
As we near Whistler, Sievert radios ahead to have them hold the Vancouver bus for me just in case. No need. She has me there, including security clearance time, with three minutes to spare.
2 p.m., Bus from Whistler to Vancouver: This ride completes my fifth round trip between Vancouver and Whistler during these Olympics and I have at least one more, perhaps two, remaining. The trip lasts two hours and change each way but not only do I not mind, I look forward to it. The stretch of roadway is so memory card-filling beautiful that on a sunny day it would be tempting to ride up and down all day long just to see it. The section from West Vancouver to the town of Squamish (about midway on the route) ranks among the most scenic in all the world, winding its way along a fjord-like waterway dotted by emerald-forested islands with snowy peaks rising in the distance. Writers who are so tired and generally cynical they would doze off during the birth of their child wake up to stare in wonder and point their cameras at the windows.
Trust me, sportswriters never have this expression of pure joy unless a team is offering an open bar in the press box.
Unfortunately, low clouds and drizzle obscure the scenery on this particular ride. Even so, the two Russian reporters ahead of me are videotaping the view. One bus driver told me that he saw a reporter recording the entire drive. No doubt the IOC has revoked his credential and dispatched him to Egypt for extreme rendition for a major rights violation.
3:45 p.m., Main Media Centre, Vancouver: This is my first chance to file and now I have to hustle off -- Johnny Weir is holding a news conference, and then there's curling, short-track speedskating, aerials and hockey before I can sleep.
4:20 p.m., UBC media center, Johnny Weir news conference: During the figure skating competition, two Quebec broadcasters suggested that Johnny was a little less than masculine by saying he should skate with the ladies and undergo a gender test. So Weir holds a news conference to respond. The presser was supposed to start at 4 p.m., but unfortunately for my schedule, he is about 20 minutes late because, he says, he was waiting for his agent to curl her hair.
"I grew out my beard a little bit just to show that I am indeed a man," Weir says. "I also want to say to them that I hope more children have the same opportunities as me and the same sort of parents I did, who taught me to be an individual, gave me freedom and taught me to believe in myself. I hope more young boys and girls grow up to have that bedrock of support from their families. And it's very clear to me that those two men talking on the show did not have that kind of upbringing."
Weir goes on to talk about how he wants to take an ugly, nasty incident and turn it into something pretty and positive so that others won't grow up to face the same sort of comments.
And then there are questions about Lady Gaga and whether Johnny enjoys vacuuming, at which point I decide it's time to hit the road for curling.
4:32 p.m., SkyTrain, Canada Line: Because there is no way the media shuttle will get me to the curling venue in time for the Sweden-Great Britain tiebreaker, I ask two people whether to take a cab or the SkyTrain. One says take a cab. The other says do not take a cab. It's a moot issue since it is rush hour, raining and there are no cabs to be had.
Fortunately, Vancouver has a superb light-rail system and the train comes as soon as I reach the station. I not only make it to curling with 15 minutes to spare, but during the SkyTrain ride I stand next to Kristi Miller, who is pushing her 12-day-old son, Mathias, in a stroller. In other words, Mathias was born the day of the opening ceremonies. Talk about passing the torch. This kid is destined to be an Olympian.
"That's what we keep saying," Miller said. "Something auspicious anyway."
4:50 p.m., Vancouver Olympic Centre: I rush into the curling venue just in time to see the final two ends of a tight game between Sweden and Great Britain, the reigning world champs. The Brits don't do well in winter sports -- go ahead, name a British winter Olympian other than Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards -- so curling is one of their best shots at adding a medal to Amy Williams' gold in skeleton. Unfortunately, Sweden knocks them out of the tournament with a 7-6 victory in extra ends.
"Well, it's disappointing. We came here thinking we could win a gold medal," Great Britain coach Dave Hay says in the mixed zone before continuing on in such a thick Scottish accent that I can't make out a word of it.
5:26 p.m., en route to Pacific Coliseum: Reaching the arena in time to catch short-track speedskating hinges on my finding a cab. And the Olympic gods are with me -- a cab pulls up just as I walk across the street.
Like all good Canadian immigrants -- 30 percent of Vancouver residents were born in another country -- the Indian driver is listening to the Canada-Russia hockey game. The ride takes less than 20 minutes, yet it is 4-1 when I get in the cab and 7-2 when I get out. Amazing. The driver turns up the volume with each goal, but he expresses much more excitement about a cricket player who scored a double century the previous night back in India. I express equal amazement, pretending that I have the slightest idea what he is talking about.
5:52 p.m., Pacific Coliseum, men's 500 short track: Thanks to the Olympic gods smiling down on me, I find a cab that gets me from curling to short track just before Apolo Ohno races in a heat for the 500 and qualifies to move on to the next round. Ohno has more medals than any previous American Winter Olympian, though I discount them because (1) he has only once crossed the finish line first, and (2) I hate short track. Still, Ohno has seven more Olympic medals than I'll ever have.
"I know Apolo cherishes the journey more than the destination, but while on the journey, why not snatch up a couple more gold medals while you're at it?" U.S. teammate Simon Cho says. "You know, he's done tremendously well so far during these Games. I definitely wouldn't count him out for a gold medal in the 500 and maybe even the relays, too. I respect that he's about 'cherishing the journey.' I've tried to emulate that style and incorporate it in my own philosophy of training."
It just would be nice if his journey included winning a medal that doesn't involve a disqualification or opponents crashing into each other or someone falling down.
6:30-10:15 p.m., en route to and from Cypress Mountain, women's aerials:
Talk about degree of difficulty. Cypress Mountain is just outside of town, but it is a long haul from short track. First, a 20-minute shuttle back to the main press center. From there, I walk a couple of blocks and am just in time to catch the shuttle up to Cypress. After that, it is a 35-minute ride on a bus that is blasting country music. Then comes an eight-minute trudge to another shuttle, and then a five-minute ride to the aerials venue.
So, I'm sorry, but when Australia's Lydia Lassila wins the gold to end a night of women soaring and flipping and twisting impossibly into the night sky, there is pretty much only one thought in my mind: the return trip down the mountain, which now must be made while fighting for transport with the thousands of fans flowing out of the stands. And it's worse than I dread.
It is Napoleon's retreat from Moscow combined with the last chopper out of Saigon. The line heading back to the shuttle buses is eight abreast and stretches as far as the eye can see, more than a quarter-mile ahead. I experience stop-and-go foot traffic for the first time. Good lord, I think, did they put Norway's porn-distracted Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset in charge of transport here? Can it get any more miserable than this?
And then it starts to rain.
10:30 p.m., Slovakia versus Sweden, hockey quarterfinal, Canada Hockey Place: I make it. After all the hustling between venues, the bus from Cypress drops us off downtown. I grab my gear and take an easy 20-minute walk to Canada Hockey Place, where I am in time for the Slovakia-Sweden quarterfinal game. Slovakia upsets the defending gold medalist 4-3, which will no doubt come as a disappointment to a certain Lars Bjorn back in Sweden.
Bjorn played on the Swedish team that won the bronze at the 1952 Olympics; his grandson, Douglas Murray of the San Jose Sharks, played on this year's Swedish team. Bjorn was hoping to come see his grandson play, but his wife's health isn't that great, and once he saw the price of the airfare to Vancouver, he bought a new TV to watch the Olympics from home instead. He didn't get to see his grandson medal, but he did get to see him wear his No. 3 on the bold blue-and-yellow Swedish jersey -- and in high-def, which ought to count for something.
After six competitions, one news conference and more than eight hours on shuttle buses, taxis, trains and foot, my day is done. But as always, the Olympic marathon is worth it. The beauty of the universal credential is you get to see so much, remember so much. I'll recall Murray walking off into the bowels of the arena, his dreams of adding an Olympic medal to the family lineage dashed. The cross-country skiers powering through heavy snow, falling in flakes as large as Canadian loonies. America's greatest woman skier trapped in the course netting like Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes."
And I'll recall Ashley Caldwell speaking with such exuberance at the aerials, she could have powered an entire Aerosmith concert tour. Caldwell finished 10th, but she has plenty of time -- and ambition -- to improve on that performance. She is 16 years old, yet already taking college credits online.
Asked what comes after these Olympics, Caldwell said, "Lots of training. Lots of workouts, World Cups, competing and then Sochi. I'm already on my next four-year cycle. Starting now. It kicked in when I landed that last jump. Well, maybe after the finish area. My coach always wants me to focus until the finish area. After that, it was Sochi time."
See you in Sochi, Ashley. Maybe Odd-Bjoern as well, though he might want to consider neighboring next to someone else. And Mathias? I expect to see you in, oh, about 2034.

Michael Buszczak is hot on the trail of the proteins involved in these events. Buszczak's quest to explore the pro- cesses and proteins controlling fl y develop- ment started during his graduate work with Bill Segraves and Lynn Cooley at Yale, where he studied control of a critical check- point in oogenesis (1). While still there, he began the hunt for new proteins involved in the process by randomly inserting GFP throughout the fl y genome (an approach known as protein trapping) and setting up a high-throughput approach to identify targets with interesting expression patterns. Buszczak extended this strategy dur- ing his postdoctoral studies in Allan Spra- dling's laboratory at the Carnegie Institu- tion, using the traps to probe for factors that control gene expression (2, 3). Now with his own laboratory at UT South- western, Buszczak is using his protein trap database (4) as well as new targeted knockout approaches to identify and ob- serve proteins involved in stem cell main- tenance (5). We tracked him down to talk about his safari through the fl y genome, and where he's setting his sights next. ON SAFARI Where did you grow up? I grew up in Connecticut, in a town called Windsor, which is just north of Hart- ford. After fourth grade, we lived in South Africa for four years, and then moved back to Windsor. Did you ever go on Safari while you were in Africa? One of my fondest memories of South Africa was a trip that I took with my class. We spent an entire week camping and backpacking in one of the game parks with a ranger and our teacher. We saw all sorts of wildlife: lions, elephants, and rhi- noceroses. There was even one night where we had to sleep in a tree because the ranger saw evid

Separation Agreement with Children
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
What Is a Separation Agreement?
After a legal separation, a husband and wife may enter into a legal contract called a separation agreement. A separation agreement deals with the division of assets and liabilities. Commonly, these agreements settle issues involving:
If I Have Children, Should They Be Included in the Separation Agreement?
Matters involving children can be included in the separation agreement. It may actually be in the best interest to include a section regarding children because it can reduce confusion or arguments between the parents.
What Should Be Included in the Children Section of the Agreement?
Each separation agreement is specific and unique for every family, but typically, this section includes the following:
Basic information about the child:
- Name of the child
- Age of the child/ Date of birth
- The child's Social Security Number
- Emancipation event and date of any child, if necessary
Child Support:
- Amount of payment
- Duration of payment
- Time of payment
- Listing of emancipation events and any effect this will have on child support
Child Custody and Visitation:
- Type of child custody (sole or joint custody)
- The parent each child will reside with
- Restrictions on the change of residence by spouse with custody
- Parental rights and joint decisions on educational and major medical matters
- Visitation rights and schedule
Should I Get an Attorney to Help Me Draft the Separation Agreement?
Yes, a separation agreement is critical to protecting your rights and a poorly drafted agreement could result in lost custody or seeing your children less than you would like. An experienced family law attorney can special tailor an agreement for all your needs and help you draft a separation agreement that is right for you.

The few times I saw this castle was always a certain distance away because it sits in an islet in the middle of the great Tagus (Tejo) River. Maybe its arresting beauty can be better appreciated from a distance where it blends with the local landscape.

So I met this guy like three weeks ago and I've been sleeping with him every since. My boyfriend does a lot for me and is a really nice guy. He does things like do the dishes, take out a the garbage, look after my kitties, puts before his friends, does the grocery shopping, buys me things etc. He is a really great boyfriend but sometimes he feels like a push over and I want a confident, aggressive man. I don't even feel bad. Ps I'm not cheating or even dating I'm just seeing if people really read the whole story before they give advice. So like I'm really confused about what to do and I'm not sure I want to stop cheating but like I love him.
I'm torn between 2 people.
What should I do?
Most Helpful Guy
What do you mean you're not cheating?20|20|0
I believe she's just testing people to see if they pay attention to detail before giving advice. I've seen a few people do this.
...So which is it? She's cheating or she's not?

Help !! Uneven Centering Of Cake Tiers Due To Misplaced Central Dowel
Decorating By pastrymaniac Updated 30 Sep 2014 , 6:57pm by pastrymaniac
Hi everyone,
sometimes, not always but often enough something very strange and annoying happens to my tiered cakes which I can´t understand so anyone´s help on this matter would be much appreciated.
When I use a central dowel in my tiered cakes I have to drill a hole right in the center of the cake boards that go under each tier of the cake because here in Europe boards are really hard and thick and we would never be able to hammer down a dowel crossing through the whole cake from the top, plus that would mean having to have a topper to cover the hole on top which lots of my cakes don´t have. So I measure the center of my boards and check again my measures and make the hole with the drill. I do this for every tier except for the bottom bigger one which I glue directly to the big cake board.
When I am stacking I measure the center of the fondant covered bottom tier and stick the central dowel right into the middle of it, then spread a little bit of royal icing and start to stack the following tiers, with the central dowel going through the holes in the boards underneath the tiers.
How is it possible that many times one or two tiers are centered in regards to the ones below and then another one is let´s say 1 inch more to the left or to the right? Sometimes it can be 3/4 inch but it´s still so frustrating then I try to disguise it with sugar flowers or decor.
I am getting so anxious when I use the central dowel these days but it is not safe to transport a 4 or 5 tiered cake for delivery with the tiers just glued with royal icing right?
What am I doing wrong , is this familiar to anyone?
Thanks in avance for any suggestions.
P.S I use the double board method to ganache all my cakes (board underneath the cake and board on top) so if the board is an 8 inch one my ganached cake be exactly that so it´s not a case of having a bumpy tier
Well, at my shop, when we are concerned about a cake surviving a trip, we just assemble the layers on site and put the bottom border and whatever florals, etc at that time. We use good plastic supports and plates (which we put in ahead of time and mark the layer with the board size of the next tier) You could probably get away with stacking the first 2 or 3 and then putting on the last layers on site. I can't speak to the dowel issue as it has never been a technique I have used but I've never had a problem with on site assembly. And it gives me some peace of mind while driving too.
Use SPS! get the plate and leg assembly in, centered and the cakes have to match up! And it's easy to mark the plate on the cake before attaching the legs and pushing it in.
It might help to screw the dowel onto the cake drum, which I've done once for a cake before. This is so the centre dowel doesn't move, which might be the issue?
This is what I did (or rather, asked the hubby to do!): First picture shows the underneath. Hubby used a washer (its the black circle) in between the cake drum and screw. The cake dowel was purposely off centre.
I used furniture protectors (those flesh coloured things in the corners) to stop the drum from tilting due to the thick washer.
Here is the wooden dowel all screwed onto the drum. I eased the fondant down through the dowel and onto the board.
I also read this article:
Thanks so much petitecat that is a great tip, to be honest it had already ocurred to me but I was too lazy to try it so I kept trying to tell myself it wouldn´t make much of a difference ;), I will sure give it a go very soon.
Leah is there a limit for height of cakes you can do using SPS. for instance can you do a 7 inch high cake or higher? Do you ice the cake on top of the SPS board/plate provided or do you use a regular board that you glue to the SPS plate? Do they also sell odd plate diameters like 7 inches,11 inches, 9 inches? Do you know any site or tutorial which explains how SPS works?
Many thanks.
Or just simply stack them on site? Transport them in groups of 2 and save yourself the worry of braking too hard,or someone else's stupidity.
I center dowel all of my tiered cakes, but I do use the thin cardboard cake boards between my tiers. For the bottom (base) board, I will use a cake drum, 2 cake drums, or a cake drum glued on top of a wooden board, depending on the size and weight of the finished. I stack all my tiers first, using a sewing gauge or a ruler to make sure the cake is centered. Then I'll sharpen a dowel using a dedicated pencil sharpener and drive it through the entire cake into the base drum.
The hole at the top where the dowel went? I just use a dollop of buttercream or a small piece of fondant to plug the hole.
If yours aren't lining up just right it very well could be the dowel. I have noticed that most of the dowels I use are anything but straight. If you have to use those hard boards for separators. maybe you could cut your center holes a little larger than the dowel, which would give you some wiggle room as you place your tiers on the cake?
AI agree with you, it didn't matter how much measuring I did, the cakes were never lined up. I am never using them again. I'm now stacking cakes on site!
MKC thank you so much for your reply I was starting to think I was the only weirdo in the world experiencing this, you made my day!! Anyway I will still try again a few more times starting with the central dowel glued in the drilled big cake drum that goes under the whole cake like shown in the link provided by petitecat. Did you also try it this way? Did the cakes still not line up?
Cupadeecakes thanks so much for your reply and great tip but here in Europe we use hard boards underneath each cake so it would be impossible to hammer through those, the idea of making a larger hole is good but I am not so happy with having to always have a hole at the top of the cake to cover though.
Thanks everyone.
If the the hole at the top really bothers you, you can always center dowel your cake before the top tier goes on and then just cut the center dowel so that it's a couple of inches shorter than the top tier. When the top tier goes on it won't leave a hole.
I know cupadeecakes that´s what I have been doing so far like I wrote in the beginning of the thread.
I drill a hole in the center of each board and then stack the tiers through the center dowel but often I end up with uncentered tiers (for instance with the one above about 1 inch more to the left or right than it should be regarding the tier below or some centered and some uncentered on the same tiered cake) and I just can´t figure out why that is happening since I double check all my measurements before making the holes in the center of the boards. Maybe like petitecat suggested it´s because I am not screwing or gluing the central dowel onto the cake drum. Whatever it is it´s driving me crazy because it does not seem logical to me!
Is this familiar to anyone else that uses the central dowel method?
Thanks everyone.
I've been using a flange to make it extra sturdy.
Last time, I thought for sure that everything would be lined up and again it didn't work. I gave up.
MKC so if you used a flange you screwed the dowel to the cake drum right and it still didn´t go well? How is that even possible?? I have been triple checking the measurements before drilling the holes in the center of my cake boards.
I was told that top decorators like Ron Ben Israel use this method for their high tiered cakes and I have seen decorators stacking cakes with this method on the TV show Amazing Wedding Cakes so what are they doing that we aren´t?
I screwed the flange in press wood board (which will be covered in fondant). I usually make 3 tiers, sometimes 4 tier tall cakes (16 inches in total) so therefore, I don't see the point. If someone knocks it down once delivered, it won't be my problem. Ron makes cakes that are sometimes 7-8 tiers tall...if I ever have to make an enormous cake then I will reconsider.
It only takes me 15-30 minutes to assemble the cake at the venue but for a center dowel it would take me a couple hours to measure and re-measure to center the holes.
I understand what you mean MKC but I would like to try and deliver finished stacked cakes whenever possible because in some venues here (where is very hot and by the beach) there is no air con but open marquees facing the beach instead so in those cases I have to face condensation issues when the cakes come out of my air conditioned van and I stack them. Plus I find that stacking the cakes when they come out of the fridge is much easier to avoid dents when I want to have a neat bottom edge without a border for instance. And I hate finishing more precise decorations at venues with all the staff running around.
Usually my bigger cakes have 4 tiers no more but they are becoming higher, I am already always making them 5 or 6 inches high and I plan to try some double barrels soon. My cakes are all covered with ganache on the outside and they are heavy so I would like to find a way of making the center dowel method work because I don´t feel confortable transporting more than 2 tiers just glued with royal icing.

Leftover Halloween Candy
November 2, 2011 by staff
Leftover Halloween Candy, In our house Halloween candy usually lasts right through Christmas. This is because our children, who are generally very reluctant to walk, even a couple of blocks, suddenly develop skills like walking marathon on Halloween night. It's a miracle. Encouraged by the promise that all sweets, walking for hours.
I love Halloween. It's a night to get to know the neighbors you never knew. The children are outside for hours without a coach yelling to kick a ball or a bat. And adults are walking on a cool autumn sky as a collection of flashing colors of fairies, pirates, sprite darter, and in and out of them. If all this were not enough, there is the candy.
Ah, the sweet. Bowling and Snickers and Milky Way bars. The Butterfingers, Twix and M & Ms candy tarts, the flashes, the peanut butter cups Reese. Chocolate eyes and fangs of wax. One by one, sweet snacks were hit in the plastic pumpkins until they are so loaded with goodies that kids have to drag them home as dead weights, hitting the sidewalk. Once inside, the instinctive habit of children throughout history, which is poured all on the floor.
If your child is like our son, the candy will be precisely arranged in a bar chart where each bar represents a type of candy. (Peanut butter cups Reese always tops the list, followed closely by Snickers.) If your daughter is like our daughter, Milk Duds are poured directly on the carpet in the living room and eat in the right eager bites it. And if you happen to have a child who learned sign language baby in the nursery, which may well be walking around aimlessly, the tiger suit askew, mouth and nose smeared with melted chocolate while pressing desperately to reach the hands together in the universal sign for "more!"
"There!" I say, the signing of the words waving her hands on both sides of my head. Then I take her to bed. In the morning, we will deal with the annual Halloween dilemma: Too much sugar in our home. But this year I'm ready. Determined to rid our home of the last piece of sweet corn by the end of the week, I went and dug three great ideas for what to do with the sugar in the distance of the night:
• Bake with it. Here is a collection of ten recipes from Real Simple that I saved last year, and not save the recipes, so that's saying a lot. Can you really go wrong with cheese Pie Twix? Mint Brownies York miniature Patty? I think not.
• Donate it. Go to one of the Magic Beans toy stores from now until Sunday and fork on that sweet things. For every pound of sugar you donate, the store will give 20 percent of the price of a toy, and send your donation to troops overseas. For links to other companies participating in Halloween Candy Buyback Program, which works with Operation Gratitude, check out this website.
• Keep out delivery. I set aside an additional plastic pumpkin candy donations of many, to be determined by our children. So far only two have come up with ideas: the needy children and their grandfather. Last time I had checked, there were only two elements of the donation of pumpkin – a small packet of Smarties and Blow Pop is not much, but the fact that he had the means to do so without harassing me, gives me hope.
