They're probably dancing in the streets of Oakmont, Pa., at the news that their local club has finally cracked the Top 50. There it is, at No. 47 Oakmont Country Club, home of the Church Pew bunkers, the 300-yard par 3, and the Angel Cabrera Smoke-a-thon. That's a 31-rung jump in the rankings for the venerable Henry Fownes-designed layout, which swooped up from No. 78 to knock Colorado's Cherry Hills Country Club off the leader board.
If you're new to the course-rating game, Oakmont's quick rise may strike you as improbable. Traditional course raters, after all, publish their results on paper, usually on a biennial basis, and don't bother to re-evaluate their picks until they've spent a couple of winters in the Caribbean. They live in an analog universe. This Top 50, on the other hand, is a digital conceit, fast out of the blocks and capable of turning on a dime. So when a sleepy old club like Oakmont decides to shake things up by hosting a U.S. Open, the Top 50 responds appropriately.
Another Pennsylvania gem, New Castle Country Club, debuts this week at No. 50. Laid out in 1923 by A.W. Tillinghast, the private New Castle course plays to a cozy 6,600 yards short by modern standards but it's no pushover, thanks to the occasional blind shot and the small, steeply sloped greens. During Open week, I played a round at New Castle with Philadelphia Daily News sportswriter Mike Kern, who was effusive in his praise of the small-town layout.
"My only quibble was the second green," Mike said after our round, "and that's because I don't like cliffside bunkers where you can lose your balance and maybe plummet to your death."
The only other shift in the rankings has the New Richmond (Wisc.) Golf Club moving up a spot to No. 31. That, along with the Oakmont surge, made me wonder what variable in the Cal Sci algorithm accounted for the changes.
"Trees," said mathematics professor Charles Eppes, who moonlights for the Top 50 during lulls in the academic calendar. "Oakmont rid itself of five thousand trees which, when you think about it, are a profound annoyance to golfers. Trees kill grass, too, and sometimes tree limbs drop on members' heads."
New Richmond, he went on, has improved by adding thousands of trees to what had once been a featureless 9-hole, sand-greens course. "Trees give a hole definition, provide strategic obstacles, and are unbeatable for carbon sequestration. And their shade is nice on a hot day."
In math circles, Charlie said, this is known as the Pinehurst Paradox. "In layman's terms, it means that golf course volatility is driven by the most readily quantifiable data, which in this case is the number of trees. Movement in either direction by cutting trees, say, or by planting trees improves the golf course. Inaction, on the other hand, gives us no data to work with and suggests, quite frankly, that the members don't give a damn."
Well, it's a theory. Many of the courses in the Top 50, including the top three, are proudly tree-free and a good bet to remain so. And I don't expect forest tracks like Oak Hill, Cypress Point and Augusta National to make chain saws mandatory any time soon. "The tree which moves some to tears of joy," William Blake pointed out a few rounds ago, "is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way."
Blake, by the way, ranked 38th in a recent BBC poll of the "100 Greatest Britons."

- 1. Process almonds, dates and water. You don't need them to be totally processed, just process well enough--similar to how you'd process to make a raw pie crust. You should smallish chunks of dates and raisins.
- 2. Transfer almond/date/water mixture into a big mixing bowl.
- 3. Add everything else to the big mixing bowl and just mix with a spoon or even your hands.
- 4. Spread granola bars into two glass dishes. (This is a big recipe, so you'll probably want to put it into two separate dishes or else it'll be really thick in one dish.)
- 5. These raw granola bars can be eaten as is--undehydrated (taste more like brownies then) or you can cut and dehydrate these raw granola bars to make a more traditional crunchy granola bar. Perhaps leave one dish moist and dehydrate the other! Best of both worlds :)
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Raw granola bars are so tasty. I should really make them more often!
Sorry for posting a raw granola bar recipe that calls for so many ingredients, I realize that it goes against my "totally simple" rule... But I just made this recipe up and the flavor is so nice so I wanted to share these raw granola bars with you all!
Plus, it is actually pretty easy once you get past the first food processing bit.
This raw granola bar recipe would actually make a perfect pie crust or raw cake base as well. It's got the standard raw goody texture. :) But the flavor is really unique--in a good way!

I would like to try this recipe, however , are all the enzyme inhibitors released from the almonds if only soaked for an hour?
Hi Christi, You can soak for longer if you are concerned about the enzyme inhibitors

These look great. I have started leaving oil out of my granolas and they still come out great and crunchy. You can save some calories that way.

I've made this recipe lots of times as is, but I've also really enjoyed how fantastically flexible it is too! I've experimented with adding in mashed bananas, craisins, diced dried apricots, dried cherries, dried apple pieces, and my fave: cacao nibs! The recipe is sweet enough to balance out the cacao nib bitter and leave an awesome chocolatey crunch.
Today I've made cherry apricot dark chocolate version of these!
I don't dehydrate these very long in an effort to add a wee bit of moisture to my diet, but then they easily freeze for longer shelf life and thaw for breakfast on the go!
Thanks rawitarian for this great recipe and always having such a wonderful go to site!

You mentioned using two glass dishes - how big are they?
My dishes are about 8 inches by 8 inches :)
Jun 11, 2014
Thanks, this has been a great base recipe for me to play with. I soak the dates and then use the date water instead of honey. I totally sprout every nut and seed, which takes a few days but I like that, I use the tahini and coconut oil, love that! Cinnamon and vanilla, too. I also add on top of flax and coconut, hemp shells and chia seeds. Just a power house of health this is!! I have intentions to dehydrate this, but already after my second batch all the dough gets eaten up too quick. My very young children love this, too. Thanks for your great recipes, I look forward to trying more. I

the groat does not need soaking??

Thanks for your reply. My buckwheat groat had plenty of weirdo flies in it, so need to restock lol
Sounds like a good time to restock then!

How long do you keep it in the dehydrator? in what temperature? Thanks!

About 7 hrs at 110
Jun 07, 2014
If I dehydrate them how should I store them and for how long. I'm taking a 6 week road trip and am looking for food to take with me.
Hi Rebecca! To store for that long you need to make sure there is NO moisture left in them. Maybe go for like 20 hours at the highest heat you are comfortable with, then store in an airtight container

Raw granola bars
I liked it slightly dehydrated. It gave the "grawnola" a chewy and crunchy texture.
Hi Jenny, best of both worlds! Mmmm grawnola :)
Aug 26, 2013
What can I substitute for the flax? My hubbycan't eat flax.
Hi Crystal, you can use wheat germ instead of the flax. Also, perhaps you can try ground or whole chia seed instead as well.
Hope this helps!

Do you dehydrate them in the pan, or spread them on a sheet first?
Will Steel cut oat groats work instead if buckwheat?
Hi Mike! Dehydrating - no pan, just spread them on parchment paper or Teflexx sheets
steel cut oats instead of buckwheat groats? yes, I say give that a go
Jun 30, 2013
Hi, thanks for sharing your recepies! You give me soo much inspiration! I'll try to do these bars when I (finally) get my Sedona, but I can't eat wheat germs and I don't know what to use as a substitute?
Hi Sara, you can use ground flaxseed (aka flaxseel meal) instead
Jul 09, 2013
I'm so happy, grateful and impressed that you always seem to take the time to answer all questions!
There is no Swedish raw food blogs that can compare with yours, so I'm thrilled that I found yours and will test a lots of your recipes this summer. I'll try to involve my daughters (12 and 13 years) in the (un-)cooking... :-)
Thank you Sara :) I do my best. Sometimes I am slow, but I try to get to them eventually!

My son is allergic to nuts, peanuts & sesame seeds. What could I substitute the nuts & tahini for? I find it very difficult to find suitable raw recipes for snacks for him as most contain nuts. He can eat most seeds now, just not sesame. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you :)
Hi Lesley, you can omit the sesame seeds, they are not needed. The tahini is another story - you can use cashew butter but he is probably allergic to that! hmm - maybe increase the coconut oil instead of the tahini? and then don't dehydrate them, refrigerate
I would like to try this recipe, however , are all the enzyme inhibitors released from the almonds if only soaked for an hour?
Jul 11, 2014
What does this mean about the enzyme inhibitors.
Hi Dorthy! In short, don't worry about it, but if you are interested, nuts/seeds have a natural coating that makes it so they don't grow/sprout unless wet. this coating gets removed when you soak them in water. google it :)
Jul 28, 2014
I did google it. Thank you, I wanted to know what you meant.
Hi Christi, You can soak for longer if you are concerned about the enzyme inhibitors

Hi Susie, So glad you enjoy these granola bars and that they last you through the week!
I made this without dehydrating and it was ah-mazing, however a bit messy! I don't have a dehydrator, but was wondering if you had any idea how one might dehydrate them in the oven??
Hi Tira, in my experience it is not possible to dehydrate in an oven. Best to wait until you get a dehydrator.
Best dehydrator is 9-tray excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
You can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3
Hope this helps!
Feb 10, 2013
Hey, I dont have a vitamix or food processor... think I can use my omega juicer to blend and mash the nuts and dates?
the juicer will make the nuts too small, more like a nut butter rather than small chunks... i make date paste with my omega, but it also might make them too smooshed up for this recipe. but, i mean, you could always try! especially if you have a dehydrator and you dont mind it not being very chunky.
The Rawtarian
Feb 10, 2013
Hi Elaina, I hate to be a downer but this will not work in your juicer! I highly recommend picking up a food processor. You don't have to spend much! $50 - $60 will get you one that will do the job (like this one: http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4). They are totally worth it. I use mine all the time!

Hi Afrina - you do not need to dehydrate them. But if you want to you could dehydrate them for about 8 hours at 110 degrees.

Hi. This recipe is awesome. It's great. Thanks for sharing. I just made a batch, which is actually still in the dehydrator. my husband and myself just tasted it and it's yummmmm. I made some variations. I added cashews and walnut meal to it and instead of buckwheat I added quinoa flakes. It is just so yumm. I am going to make it again. I also did not have the exact qty. of ingredients mentioned, so I just thew in whatever I could, but it still turned out great. Thanks again. God bless you.
This recipe is very forgiving. I think as long as you have the tahini and the sweet stuff (dates), then you can susbtitute a lot of the nuts/dried fruits IN THE SAME QUANTITIES (ie. same amount of dried fruit, same amount of nuts) and it'll be good.
Thank you for sharing your tweaks and substitutions. Your comments help make this site a better resource for all. Glad to have you here Laura.
Nov 03, 2012
This recipe looks delicious! I just need to get a couple things at the store. Can you find Tahini anywhere? I did a quick Google search and it appears that Trader Joe's has it. Would it be labeled Tahini Sauce? Thanks for your help!
The Rawtarian
Nov 03, 2012
Tahini is usually pretty easy to find - in the health food store or health food aisle near almond butter, etc. It's not really a "sauce". It's just... tahini :)
Oct 01, 2012
Hi! Do these need to be refrigerated, raw or dehydrated? If not, how long will they keep at room temperature? I want to send some goodies to my brother for his birthday :)
Room temperature is not good for these. Try fridge or dehydrating.
These are very tasty! My two-year old even enjoys them! Thank you!
You're welcome April. Glad to have you here.
Jul 24, 2012
these were delicious and easy! I omitted the seeds as I had none. Organic sunflower seeds are sitting on my counter and I'm ready for another batch. They will be even better!
Sorry. I misread the recipe. I still don't think the buckwheat, not wheat berries, are safe for my daughter with her wheat allergy. Any suggestions?
I am gluten-free and know for a fact that buckwheat is a wheat free/ gluten-free grain. Don't let the word "wheat" scare or fool you. :)
Jul 27, 2012
@Lisa...I researched for you...Buckwheat is commonly used in Raw diets because it is not wheat(gluten-free)..no relation to wheat but can be ground into a flour and used like wheat. It is the seed of a flowering plant. So, hopefully you can make this recipe...because it really is a great one with lots of possibilities. Hope this helps ;D
I want to make these, but my daughter is allergic to wheat. Any suggestions on substitutes for the wheat berries?
Jul 13, 2012
Love these bars...easier to make than the cooked variety and so much healthier. This recipe is great!...I can sub so many ingredients or add with no ill consequences. Turned these into Super Protein bars by adding in Raw Protein and Maca...also made chocolate version with raw cacao powder and cacao nibs...my almost raw hubbie loves these for his workouts. They have great mouth feel, the soft chewiness and the crunch of the nuts and groats and nibs...gonna try Goji powder and Spirulina next time. Thank you sooo much!!!

Hello Australia!! *waves*
Have fun showing off. These ones have a really nice flavor. I think it has a lot to do with the tahini

Just made these! They turned out super deelish (: I have some in the oven set at the lowest temp, some in the dehydrator, and some in the refrigerator. I wanted to see how they all turned out! lol I am new with the whole dehydrator thing (; When using the oven is 150 going to kill all the good stuff?? Should I try to just stick with the dehydrator? Thanks!!
The Rawtarian
Apr 14, 2012
Yes, try to stick with D -especially since you have one!
Yes, the idea is that cooking over 105 degrees diminishes nutritional content
I am curious to know how they will turn out though in oven!

Oh my goodness these are amazing! I'm doing raw vegan M-F and not raw Saturday and Sunday and I've been struggling with what to eat. Thank you for these! I'm going to make big batches on Sunday from now on and bring them to work with me!! Thanks for sharing!

I made these today. I substituted gluten-free oatmeal for the buckwheat (tried it - hate it), sesame seeds, and flax seeds (didn't have the seeds); it turned out really good. Oh, and I only had half the amount of cinnamon called for, so I added some giger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. I have my snack made for the next few days!

Instead of coconut try this in this recipe:
1/2 cup dried coconut = 1/4 cup raisins + 1/4 cup ground flax or ground wheat germ

Mar 07, 2012
Hi, I made your granola bars today and I must say they are very good. The kids love them, I had to sub some ingredients though, I didnt have any groats so I added oats instead, and 1\4 cup of cranberries, 1/4 cup of raisins to make up for the 1/2 cup you asked for. And peanut butter for the tahini, I also threw in some Hemp as well- YUMM!!!
Sounds yummy!!
Mar 05, 2012
Hi there! My raw bars always seem to come out a little too soft and fall apart too easily when I put them in the dehydrator. The raw bars you can purchase at the market are much firmer and have a better crunch to them. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you in advance!! :)
Yes - they are rather crumbly. More coconut oil and more tahini MIGHT work to make them hold together longer. Also - it is probably because the bars are so chunky - if you want them to stay together better you might want to process more of the ingredients

Feb 26, 2012
fantastic...I made these this afternoon and all I have to say is...WOW. These granola bars are by far some of the best tasting granola bars I've had. I skipped on the coconut oil and had to chop the almonds and dates by hand because I don't own a food processor...I tried to blend the mix, but that was a major fail and I don't recommend it to anyone. Overall, yummy recipe:) I'll make these again for sure!
Haha, they are quite a bit of work, aren't they. Sounds like you had a "Make it work" moment and got through it with some nice goodies as a result :)
Feb 24, 2012
Wow, these are becoming a staple in our house!
I have used soaked and sprouted sunflower and buckwheat in this recipe and they work great. Also, I didn't have tahini on hand so used some of my kid's natural peanut butter. I found some cranberries sweetened with apple juice and used those instead of raisins for a nice change.
I've found that a double batch fits nicely in a large jelly-roll pan for firming up in the fridge and then we usually eat some straight from the fridge and I cut and dehydrate the rest to store in the cookie jar.
My girls and I like them but my husband and little boys (2&4) are CRAZY about them, so rewarding to see my guys gobble up these raw treats!
So glad your fam loves them. I think your subs sound really yummy - especially the cranberry idea
Thanks for sharing. Glad to have you here, Sarah.

I made a few additions: 1/8 t sea salt, 1 T maple syrup, 1/2 c goji berries (soaked for 15 mins & drained), and 1/4 c soaked & dehydrated salted pumkin seeds I had on hand. My buckwheat groats were previously sprouted and deyhdrated. Thanks for the recipe! Next time I'm sure I will double it!

The Rawtarian
Aug 02, 2011
Gotta love recipes that non-raw hubbies like. Although...sometimes it can be annoying because they can gobble them all up!! :)
I think I misunderstood what buckwheat groats are, I actually sprouted them! Either way, the granola bars turned out great, so crunchy and chewy! Also, I am a bit confused by the food processor part, should we put the raisins in there as well(i put them in afterwards), or just the dates and almonds?
Hehe, no, I don't sprout mine I just throw them in whole. BUT I am glad sprouting worked for you!!
Sorry if it was unclear. Yes, what you did was what I intended... Do not put the raisins in the FP. They should be in the granola bars whole.
Did yours stick together okay?
phew, that's a relief, since sprouting consumed a lot of energy (I only have an oven to use for dehydrating). Plus, I had to wait three long days to try out this delicious recipe :P
And yes, they are sticking together alright.
Lots of praises from my sister, as well ;)
Lol, wow, you are patient Tara. Glad you and your sis like! :)
I didn't have a dehydrator for a long time. I bought my Vitamix blender first. Dehydrator came later I think.

Yummy! I recently made a batch of home made Lara bars and they were amazing. I felt the same way, "I should really make them more often." Thanks for the recipe!
My pleasure Heather
Jun 17, 2011
Yum!!! I made a batch today minus raisins. How long will these keep? It does make a lot. Do you think some could be frozen? Thanks for the recipe. This is exactly what I needed!
Did you dehydrate them? I used some as "granola bars" and I broke the some of the leftover bits into "granola" and served with fresh berries and cashew milk like a fancy breakfast cereal. Soo good!
You could probably freeze them, I don't see why not. (But in my house we ate them all really fast!)
I do recommend dehydrating them. For this recipe the flavours are better when they are dried out.
Jun 18, 2011
Thank you! I did not dehydrate them. I love the chewy consistency. And they do appear to be getting consumed rather quickly.

These look fabulous! Do you think I could substitute buckwheat groats? I never seem to see oat groats in any of my health food stores (although I must admit, I haven't exactly tried that hard to find them)
Thanks Laura-Jane!

Jun 20, 2013
hello, these are soooooooo very yummy i cant stop eating them if you haven"t tried making them yet please give them ago you wont put them down . thank you your site is fab . thanks Deb.
Lol Debra - your comment cracks me up. In a good way!
I live in the middle of nowhere (small country town in Canada) and my HFS has them, so do try looking. :) Ask the owners.
You can probably omit them (try substituting more crushed almonds instead), but the oat groats have an amazing crunch and texture and the recipe won't be AS good without them.
Nonetheless, it'll still work without em as long as you substitute another nut for them.

Oct 30, 2011
Hi Laura-Jane, I googled for a recipe for Raw Granola Bars and yours was at the top of the list. I'm confused that both you and Casey are referring to "Oat Groats" since I don't see any listed in the ingredients for your granola bars. I see 1/2 cup buckwheat groats. What am I missing here? Thanks, Jason
What are you missing, Jason? How about an organized blog owner? Lol
Oops, it is my mistake. I always get confused between oat groats and buckwheat groats, which is probably why I wrote about them interchangeably without meaning to.
Buckwheat groats look like little tiny 3D lanterns. They are very crunchy and hard.
Oat groats look a lot like rice, long and skinny.
This recipe definitely calls for buckwheat groats, so I will edit the recipe to remove mention of oats.
Thanks for keeping me honest :)

On December 16 I'll be speaking at: Word of Mouth Supergenius: The "How to be Great at Word of Mouth Marketing" Conference in Chicago. The one-day agenda includes 12 how-to classes, 12 real-world case studies, and 6 word of mouth authors — including moi.
If interested in going apply the coupon code "Loisismyhero" to get $101 off registration. Hope to see you there.

Observer goes daily
Date: April 30, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Nope, this is not an April Fools' joke … just a May Day launch of The Sarasota Observer's newly updated Web site, YourObserver.com.
Starting Friday, the new
YourObserver.com will offer viewers daily news and information on our redesigned Web site. We think you'll find it clean, attractive and easy to navigate.
Of course, The Sarasota Observer will still produce its print edition each week, but we are moving into daily and breaking news reporting on our Web site. Readers will have immediate access to news from all three
Observer coverage areas — Longboat Key, Sarasota and East County.
Readers essentially get three Web sites in one, because each newspaper is represented with its own distinct "front page" and features unique to each publication. In addition to daily and breaking news, viewers will have access to daily and weekly blogs, expanded information and many more photos of your favorite neighborhood events.
You'll still be able to keep up with what's going on in society circles with the expanded Black Tie section on the Web site. Photos of your friends at these social events will still be available for viewing, sharing and for purchase. Plus, keep your calendar up to date with the Black Tie Social Calendar — submit your own event and upload dates to your Outlook calendar.
YourObserver.com has also entered the social-media world with new Facebook pages. Each Observer newspaper has its own Facebook page, so be sure to add us as your friend. You can also follow us on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute news coverage and links to breaking stories.
As we move into providing daily content to our Web-site viewers, our objectives remain the same — to provide our readers in print and online with news and information that is local, trustworthy and relevant — for and about you, your neighbors and your neighborhood.
Spearheading The Observers' ventures into multimedia are Emily Walsh Parry as associate publisher/multimedia (email@example.com) and Tim Epperson as Web editor (email@example.com). If you have comments or suggestions, please give them your feedback.
They'd love to hear from you.
Check out the new YourObserver.com May 1. For tips on navigating and accessing the Web site, please turn to pages 14 and 15.
We hope you enjoy your new source for local, daily news.

Printed Optics
Disney Research, Pittsburgh
Printed Optics is a new approach to creating custom optical elements for interactive devices using 3D printing. Printed Optics enable sensing, display, and illumination elements to be directly embedded in the body of an interactive device. Using these elements, unique display surfaces, novel illumination techniques, custom optical sensors, and robust embedded components can be digitally fabricated for rapid, high fidelity, customized interactive devices.
Printed Optics is part of our long term vision for the production of interactive devices that are 3D printed in their entirety. Future devices will be fabricated on demand with user-specific form and functionality. Printed Optics explores the possibilities for this vision afforded by today's 3D printing technology.

|Clinical Trials:
Transdermal nitroglycerin is indicated for the prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease.The onset of action of transdermal nitroglycerin is not sufficiently rapid for this product to be useful in aborting an acute attack.
Allergic reactions to organic nitrates are extremely rare, but they do occur.
Nitroglycerin is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to it.Allergy to the adhesives used in nitroglycerin patches has also been reported, and it similarly constitutes a contraindication to the use of this product.
Amplification of the vasodilatory effects of the NITRO-DUR patch by phosphodiesterase inhibitors, eg, sildenafil can result in severe hypotension.
The time course and dose dependence of this interaction have not been studied.
Appropriate supportive care has not been studied, but it seems reasonable to treat this as a nitrate overdose, with elevation of the extremities and with central volume expansion.The benefits of transdermal nitroglycerin in patients with acute myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure have not been established.
If one elects to use nitroglycerin in these conditions, careful clinical or hemodynamic monitoring must be used to avoid the hazards of hypotension and tachycardia.A cardioverter/defibrillator should not be discharged through a paddle electrode that overlies a NITRO-DUR patch.The arcing that may be seen in this situation is harmless in itself, but it may be associated with local current concentration that can cause damage to the paddles and burns to the patient.

Cara Delevingne is one of the best things on Twitter right now. The model of the moment keeps her followers forever entertained with constant updates on the social media site, from snaps of her goofiest faces to pics of her extensive onesie collection. And now that Cara's in New York for Fashion Week, her photos are popping up thick and fast, from backstage at the latest show to partying at the hottest shindigs. What more do you for an insider look at what it's really like to be a model during NYFW? Well, exactly.
Thus far, we've seen CD languishing on a ginormous Anna Sui sign, sporting a ginormous diamond ring and larking about with model BFFs Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn. She's also treated us to a snap of her, err, getting touch-feely with her gal pals and as for an insight into life as a model, Cara's popped into the DKNY offices and rocked up to fittings in her comfy trainers. We LOVE the video of her singing to herself while getting her makeup done backstage and she can actually sing. Oh Cara we love you.
So it's hardly surprising she's becoming the most photographed model at fashion week. The fash pack are getting in on the Cara Snap act, filling their Instagram feeds with her kooky expressions. Rachel Zoe took a shot of the blonde beauty backstage at the Diane Von Furstenberg show as she got her hair / makeup / nails done while sporting a pair of rose-hued sunnies and a shot of her working the catwalk never fails to get our fashion hearts all a-flutter. Designer Jeremy Scott had his photo taken with Cara after her final fitting and was very happy to spend some time with his "Love of loves". The feeling is clearly mutual as Cara revealed pics from behind the scenes at Scott's show on her Instagram account including her look and a shot of her self locking lips with a fellow model. She gushed: "Jeremy Scott is the 1!"
Meanwhile the model's big sis Poppy posted a photo of the pair of them on her Instagram to tell the world how much she's missing her younger sibling while she's doing the New York Fashion Week rounds.
Click through the gallery above to see Miss Delevingne's NYFW and stay tuned for more Delevingne drama...

GotoCamera is EASY to set up and easy to use. All you need is a webcam (a USB webcam such as those made by Logitech, Creative, etc, or even the webcam integrated into your netbook / notebook) and a Windows PC, and you're ready to start. Once your camera is set up, you can turn on recording schedules, configure motion detection, share your camera with family, and access it from any browser, including your iPhone, so that you can remotely monitor your camera's recordings. You can watch over your children any time you wish. This is perfect for people who can't afford a nanny to watch over their kids when they're away from home. At less than $4 a month, it makes complete sense to me.

I didn't see you passing it off as frugality at all; rather just a way to show other people how to use what you've already got (which in this day and age, most people do have computers, camera phones, the Internet, etc). We did something similar when we wanted to spy on our dogs while at work. Instead of Skype, though, we downloaded an app called iCam. We set up two webcams (one web cam was connected to a desktop; the other was a built in webcam on a laptop). Each computer had the free iCam software installed. You link the iCam account to the iPhone app and voila. You can spy on stuff while you're on the go! I know, I know... Dog watching gets boring after a while. But it was a fun experiment.

Occupation Training Program: Biopsychology Change Occupation
Biopsychology programs teach people about the links between the human body and human psychology. Students learn about body chemistry. They study the central nervous system and how it affects mental health or illness.
Do you remember learning how to read? Most kids know the alphabet years before they learn to read. When you know only the alphabet, you don't realize that putting letters together in different ways actually makes words. Yet, once you learned what sounds each letter makes, it wasn't so hard to sound words out. Soon you were reading sentences! Have you ever wondered, though, how your brain remembered all that information? How did it learn? Biopsychologists are interested in answering this question. They study how the brain does things and reacts. This includes how we feel, act, and behave.
From these examples you can see that to understand biopsychology, you need to study a good amount of science. You study the biology of the brain as well as how people think and feel. You also take courses in anatomy, physiology, and statistics. You study how everyday biological processes affect our perceptions, the way we learn, and our emotional states. In addition, depending on your interests, you can take courses about how drugs and alcohol affect the brain or how animals behave. You might study biorhythms. You might investigate why we think we perceive color with our peripheral vision despite the fact that the sides of our eyes have almost no color-perceiving cone cells. You might investigate whether people really have a diminished sense of balance as they get older. For many or most of these questions, the answers lie at the cellular level.
Most of your courses will include lots of research time. You learn how to design experiments and how to use statistical processes to make sense of the data you collect.
Most people with a degree in biopsychology work as researchers and lab assistants. You can work for drug and chemical companies. You can experiment on new drugs and help design new medications. In addition, you can work for university schools of public health, medicine, or pharmacy. Your knowledge of the central nervous system will especially aid you in getting a job in health-related fields.
About 60 schools offer undergraduate programs in biopsychology, and the number of programs is expected to grow as the general field of neuroscience expands. Typically you finish your bachelor's degree in four years. A handful of schools also offer graduate degrees in biopsychology. Typically it takes three to five years to get your master's or doctorate after you finish your bachelor's degree. Most people with graduate degrees in biopsychology become professors or researchers.

Oklahoma develops program to verify carbon offsets
By Doug Rich
The Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC) is developing a unique voluntary program to verify carbon offsets.
The OCC will approve aggregators who want to buy offsets in the state, provide verification services, certify offsets listed for sale, and post these offsets in an online registry.
"Who buys thousands of dollars worth of merchandise sight unseen?" Stacy Hansen, director of the Carbon Sequestration Program at the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, asked. "This is where verification comes in."
As part of the Oklahoma Carbon Program, aggregators and verifiers who apply will be asked to supply their credentials before they are approved to operate in the state.
"The reason we do this is because we will be recommending them to you," Hansen said. "There will be a list of service providers. And, if we are going to recommend them to you, we need to know a little about what they are doing."
On the other side of the equation, the program will verify the carbon offsets offered for sale to aggregators. Once they are verified, they will be listed in the Oklahoma Carbon Registry where information about that offset will be published online.
"This is for transparency so these offsets are not continuously sold," Hansen said. "Someone interested in buying offsets can look online to see which offsets have already been bought or sold. This helps with the credibility of these offsets."
There are fees associated with this unfunded program. Hansen said the OCC has invested over 2,000 hours just in 2008, in developing this program. Fees will be charged for both types of verification--field verification and document verification. For example, an individual signs up 200 acres of no-till, the verifier would go out to visually appraise the fields to make sure that is actually happening. Document verification involves reviewing land management records to assure that each offset is real and qualified. Proposed fees are $30 an hour plus mileage for field verification and $50 an hour for document verification. These rates are based on similar programs in North Dakota and Illinois.
Producers who want to list offsets on the registry that are not verified through this volunteer program will be charged a fee of $50.
Hansen said that by putting the state seal of approval on these offsets they would have more value on a national basis.

FWCS board members Monday approved a 2 percent salary increase for the district's nurses and classified employees for the 2013-14 school year and $1 million in stipends for nonteaching employees.
Classified employees include nonteaching employees such as cafeteria and transportation workers, classroom assistants and media clerks, according to Kathy Friend, chief financial officer for FWCS.
Classified employees and nurses will also receive a 2 percent salary increase for the 2014-15 school year.
The $1 million in stipends will be split between the district's employees, ranging from $250 to $2,500. Nurses and classified employees will receive a $500 stipend.
The money for the stipends will be paid from the district's general fund – or whichever fund the employee's salary is paid from, Friend said.
That $1 million had been set aside for some sort of compensation, she said. But it wasn't until now that we knew where it would be going.
The board also approved a change to reduce insurance subsidies to 82 percent next year and 80 percent in 2015.
Compensation and benefits for all other employees will be determined within bargaining agreements, school officials said.
Our employees cannot be thanked enough. They get it. They are with us, Superintendent Wendy Robinson said. Obviously, if we could do more, we would.
The pay increases and stipends come after the district's decision to cut back hours for part-time workers rather than provide them with health insurance as mandated by impending federal regulations. In May, the district reduced the hours of 610 part-time workers to 25 hours a week.
Beginning next January, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will require employers with at least 50 full-time employees to offer health insurance to employees who work at least 30 hours a week.
Offering the health insurance to the district's 840 part-time workers – the total number of part-time employees the district had prior to the cuts – would have cost $10 million, Friend said.
Board OKs budgets
Also Monday, the board approved the proposed 2014 budgets for the three-year Capital Projects Plan, the 2014 levies and the Bus Replacement Plan.
A public hearing was held this month.
The $275 million budget plan is 0.2 percent more than the 2013 budget, Friend said.
The owner of a $100,000 home would pay a maximum of $9 more in property taxes in 2014, Friend said. The increase could be as low as $2, she estimated.

Let me just apologize in advance in case this isn't how other TGWTG members normally suggest movies to review. Even though I'm new to the site, I've gotten the gist of the NC's general idea after watching and enjoying maybe thirty of his videos and there's a movie from my childhood that's so revolting I'm stunned he wasn't touched upon yet.
Problem Child!
This little baby is so reckless, so obnoxious and so insincere to its approach to the family film genre; it's essentially when Home Alone needs to be locked away in juvenile hall. I'm really not a Scrooge, people. I think edgier flicks can be good for the kid demographic! Just take a look at School of Rock or Akeelah and the Bee. This film right here is a downright awful influence on anyone too young to see how preposterous these stunts would be to pull off in real life. At least Macaulay Caulkin showed a spark of charm in playing Kevin McCallister and at least his character set his booby traps on two bumbling burglars who deserved to be tortured. The lead in Problem Child however can be set off if someone just looks at him the wrong way.
It's about a 7-year old boy, Junior who was left on a door step when he was a baby and has continually been transferred from house to house because all the mischief he's caused since. "Present" day, he's in an orphanage and still maintains an equally disastrous dose of mayhem throughout the property. He's soon adopted by the superficial, Flo who plots to use him as leverage to socialize with neighbors and the naive but ridiculously well-meaning, Ben. I kid you not, John Ritter plays the only honest, light-hearted adult in this entire stool sample. Everyone else either plays a pretentious gloater, a scheming money-hungry antagonist or a loud, unenthusiastic extra. Why? Because the film wants us to still like Junior in spite of all the crap he starts, so they make everyone else even bigger douches than him.
For two reasons I won't spoil where this movie goes. One, it doesn't pick up somewhat of a story until the last half hour. But everything that it's succeeded by involves minors getting ruthlessly attacked by a baseball bat, Junior stealing the keys to the car and mercilessly driving through traffic with Ben riding on the hood, Flo cheating on her husband with a prison escapee and Jack Warden's bare ass. That's right people – PG-Rated. Oh and two, like I said…it's really the Nostalgia Critic who I want to see cover the movie for you. If the Wonka tunnel of doom lasted for 81 minutes straight, that would be Problem Child in a nutshell for you. There's ton of audacious and crude material throughout the flick to keep your attention yet continuously make you angry with it's hallow transitions and vulgar behavior. Good day to you.

Under-21 boss Warren Joyce has confirmed that Frederic Veseli looks likely to miss the remainder of the season through injury.
The versatile defender was taken off on a stretcher during the 1-0 win against Tottenham on Monday after pulling up in pain as he chased a through ball by Larnell Cole.
Veseli, who was signed from Manchester City last year, has performed in a number of roles for Joyce's side and has adapted well to a holding midfield position.
"It's his hamstring," Joyce informed ManUtd.com. "It's frustrating for him as he he's had a good run of form recently and frustrating for us as well as we are quite thin on the ground."
The news means that Veseli is out of the next league game - away to Wolves on 26 April - following the postponement of the Old Trafford fixture with Liverpool that was originally scheduled for Friday night.
Veseli was replaced by Tyler Blackett at the Salford City Stadium with the powerful defender slotting into a right-sided midfield role.

text: Lauren Bacall: Eternal in Black and White Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 13 Aug 2014 post a comment Using the word "natural" is sometimes unkind. The description can thoughtlessly dismiss the effort, ambition, stress, and sweat equity that goes into making it look so easy. Movie stars are different. Not all of them. John Wayne spent ten years in C-Westerns teaching himself how to be John Wayne before "overnight success" arrived in "Stagecoach" (1939). Rita Hayworth suffered electrolysis, plastic surgery, the casting couch and countless thankless roles before it all came together in 1941's "Strawberry Blonde." Lauren Bacall? There was a natural. Born Betty Joan Perske in the Bronx, in 1924, Betty's smoldering feline beauty won her the cover of Harper's Bazaar and a screen test with no less than Howard Hawks, who quickly signed her to a 7 year contract and cast her as the lead opposite Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not." When filming began, her name had been changed to Lauren Bacall and she was just 19. Sure, as a teenager, Bacall had taken some acting lessons, and there's no question that in those days 19 was a lot different than 19 is today. But she was still sailing into waters where only the experienced Bette Davis and Ingrid Bergman had won a draw. In 1944, Humphrey Bogart was the biggest star alive. This was post-"Casablanca." Bogart was now Bogart and the job of any actress cast opposite him was to allow him to be Bogart. Nervous, unsure of herself, in way over head, and sporting the smoky voice Hawks demanded, this teenager walked on screen, leaned against a door, asked for a match, and sent a bolt of lightning up the spine of every red blooded heterosexual male in America, including her co-star. All it took was countless takes (she kept dropping the tossed matchbox) and four little words: -- -- Seventy-years have done nothing to diminish the on-screen chemistry between the two stars -- because it was real. Bogie and Bacall fell in love while filming "To Have and Have." He was 25 years her senior and in his third and already-deteriorating marriage. "Baby," as he called her, would be Bogart's last -- his last love, his last marriage, his last affair. Bogie was conquered. At 20, in the palm of her slender hand, Betty Perske from the Bronx held the world and the world's biggest movie star. Being a natural, though, will only take you so far. To become a legend, Bacall took the profession of acting seriously. She studied her craft while waging agonizing battles with Jack Warner and all of Hollywood. She was soon known as the most difficult star in the business and probably spent as much time on-suspension from Warner Bros. as off. It happened like this: After her sophomore film flopped Bacall became determined to manage her own career. Moreover, Bogart wanted a wife-actress (not the other way around). The result was that during a decade when actors sometimes made 3 and 4 films a year, Bacall wisely chose only three more -- "The Big Sleep" (1946), "Dark Passage" (1947), "Key Largo" (1948) -- all of them with Bogart, all of them classics. Between 1950 and Bogart's premature death from cancer in 1957, Bacall made ten or so films, most notably, "Young Man with a Horn" (1950), with a struggling young actor she once had a crush on named Kirk Douglas; "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953), where she went sizzle for sizzle alongside in-their-primes Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe; and "Written on the Wind" (1956), a Douglas Sirk melodrama co-starring Rock Hudson. It was during these mythical days that Bacall coined the term that still defines "exclusive cool": The Rat Pack. She, their den mother, served alongside Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Swifty Lazar, George Cukor, Hepburn and Tracy, Cary Grant, and of course Bogart. A lifelong liberal Democrat, Bacall's activism began with Bogart and protests against the House Un-American Activities Committee and in support of The Hollywood Ten -- the infamous uncooperative witnesses with known communist ties who were eventually blacklisted. Stories vary, but either the negative publicity or a sincere realization that they had been played for suckers resulted in both Bogart and Bacall famously withdrawing their support for the Ten. Nonetheless, Bacall would campaign for Democrats' Robert Kennedy and Adlai Stevenson. In 2005 she proclaimed herself a proud liberal and "anti-Republican." Her most famous foray into politics, however, was causing President Truman no small amount of trouble when this famous photo hit the wires: Very much her own woman, Bogart's death did nothing to diminish Bacall's status with the public or in the business of show. She moved to Manhattan, became a fashion icon, almost married Frank Sinatra, did marry Jason Robards, might have had an affair with Adlai Stevenson, and finally won an honorary Oscar in 2009. Along the way she co-starred with Paul Newman in "Harper" (1966), John Wayne in "The Shootist" (1976), pretty much everyone in "Murder On the Orient Express" (1974), James Garner more than once, and was nominated for her first Oscar at the age of 72 in "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (1996). Bacall was 41 when she made "Harper," looked everyday of it, was never more beautiful and retained that beauty well into her eighties. Lauren Bacall was tough, confident, accessible, unknowable … a lava that steamed but would never cool; a man's kind of woman, one of the boys; a broad, a dame, and always a lady. She was sensual, coy, knew who she was, moved like sex, spoke with a voice that made you grateful to be alive, was never caught off guard and never-ever without her dignity. Bette Joan Perske died Tuesday at age 89 and is eternal as Lauren Bacall in black and white. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

If you are an expatriate or are planning to live abroad, you have the advantage of being able to transfer your existing private pension into a QROPS pension. Rather than receiving your pension income from a UK scheme, QROPS pensions are based overseas, and are regulated by the Government of the country in which the QROPS scheme has been set up. This often gives you a tax advantage as many countries have lower tax rates than the UK.
It is also possible to set up a QROPS pension in a country other than the one in which you are living. Bear in mind, however, that you will have to pay tax in the country in which you are resident and may also have to pay tax in the country where the QROPS was established. The reason people usually set up QROPS in an alternative country is because the taxes there are particularly low, so they still gain overall.
To avoid double taxation it is important to marry the QROPS juridcistion with the country of residence.
QROPS stands for Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pensions Scheme. This means that the scheme should be recognised by the relevant tax authorities of the country in which it is established. It should also be approved by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK. HMRC publish a list of approved QROPS schemes, which you can view at the HMRC website. The QROPS list is updated regularly as more QROPS providers are added, and some are removed. If a QROPS pension provider is not on the QROPS HMRC list or has been removed, you could risk incurring large tax penalties from the UK government.
QROPS pensions are most suited to people who intend living abroad for at least five years, because prior to five years the QROPS providers have to report any pension withdrawals to HMRC. After five years this reporting is no longer required and you benefit from the full QROPS rules.
As well as benefitting from reduced taxation on your pension, QROPS have a number of other benefits. Amongst these is the fact that you don't have to worry about fluctuating interest rates and are not subject to exchange rate charges if you are drawing your pension in the same currency as that used by the country where you are resident. Additionally, your dependants may not have to pay inheritance tax on any sums that you leave to them.
There are many other advantages of taking out a QROPS pension, which is why they are now becoming so popular. However, QROPS schemes are not suitable for everybody. QROPS pensions are a specialist field and it is essential to consult a qualified QROPS adviser who can give advice on schemes to suit you.

Bosco's News: Batman Won't Be Around Until 2019? Because of Justice League?!
The controversy surrounding the Will Beall-scripted Justice League film has only been growing after it was announced that the film was being "postponed". Now, it seems like there won't be a Justice League movie at all. In addition to the that, a post-Nolan Batman film seems unlikely within the next 5 to 7 years because of the Man of Steel film and the two possible sequels that will come after it that's taking up all the space.
What was supposed to be Warner Bros. answer to The Avengers is falling apart and for good reason. Besides Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises, have we really seen any introductory films that give us an idea as to who the hell is going to be in Justice League and, more importantly, WHY the hell they're going to be in it. They still have to cast a new Batman, and it's iffy at this point as to whether or not JGL is going to really follow through with his duties as Robin. But, according to Batman-on-Film:
"Don't worry about the Batman [film] franchise," he/she said, "it's [Warner Bros.'] most valuable [DC Comics-based] asset." He She continued, "I believe that they are now looking at introducing [the rebooted] Batman in a solo film, though that will likely take place later than they initially planned. They are extreemly worried how [the Batman film franchise] would be affected if JUSTCE LEAGUE bombs…and rightfully so."
"The fact that what should be the core fanbase of a Justice League film isn't on board is making them sweat as well," he/she adds.
If you recall, BOF reported that after being introduced in JUSTICE LEAGUE in 2015, the new Batman would then show up in his own solo film in 2017ish. Now, according to this FOBOF, the time between solo Batman films is going to be longer than five years. "If Superman [this Summer's MAN OF STEEL] is huge, then they've bought themselves some time and will have a franchise to hang their hat on for seven, eight years. The need for Batman won't be as great, and [the reboot] of that franchise can wait until the Superman trilogy is done."
So I asked him/her the obvious question: If there is no JL film in 2015 and MAN OF STEEL is a big hit, when might we next see Batman on film?
"Under that scenario, I'd say around 2019 or so."
Obviously an entire website dedicated to Batman's cinematic depictions must be accurate, but all flimsiness aside, there's something to be said for what DC is planning to do over the next few years. I mean, this Justice League movie has gone through so many different development stages with and endless number of shitty ideas that it's probably better to just wait it out until they have enough money to hire Aaron Sorkin to do it. The end.

There is so much to see
For instance, this is the rooftop cornice (I believe that's what its called) of The Ansonia. It was where The Sunshine Boys' Willy Clark, played by the late Walter Matthau, lived in the 1975 Neil Simon movie.
Look UP!
