Healthy Eating Tip: Find Healthier Alternatives
Even if you're trying to lose a few pounds or stick to your health kick, I don't recommend ever giving up the foods you love. Moderation works for me (most of the time), but when I can't hold myself back from devouring more than just a few tasty bites, I try to make or find healthier alternatives. Here are some of my favorites. If you have healthy alternatives to the foods you crave, please share them in the comment section below.
|Craving This?
|Try this Instead
|Ice cream
|Frozen yogurt, soy ice cream, or chocolate sorbet
|Candy bar (Snickers, Kit Kat)
|A piece of dark chocolate with a handful of almonds
|Choose ones made with thin crust (for less carbs) or make your own using lowfat cheese and grilled veggies. Or try a pizza salad.
|Chewy candy (skittles, sour patch kids)
|Dried Fruit or trail mix
|Peanut butter cookie
|Peanut butter on a whole grain cracker, topped with a drizzle of honey
|Chocolate mousse or fudge
|Make your own chocolate pudding with nonfat milk
|Apple pie
|Baked apple
|Banana cream pie
|Halve a banana lengthwise and top with 1 tbsp chocolate chips
|French Fries with ketchup
|Bake or grill regular or sweet potatoes instead, and flavor with fresh rosemary
Do you have a healthy alternative you rely on when craving something crazy? Share it in the comments section below.

I live in Toronto and I see quite a few east Asian women that are with south Asian men, but I never see east Asian men with south Asian girls. Why is that? I am a south Asian women and I find east Asian men very attractive but I am way too shy to make any sort of move.
How do Asian men feel about south Asian women?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
not sure I understand. maybe being shy is the issue not the attraction based on geography.00|00|0
I've actually thought about this in the past. I do find Indian and Pakistani girls attractive - but they seem so different culturally! I do try but I find it hard to fit in with an Indian crowd, for example. And especially Pakistani girls - most are Muslim and I can't really relate to that beyond their good looks. Indian girls can be great but my real issue with any inter-cultural/racial relationship is, is she open-minded and self-aware enough to see things from my perspective (as I would do for her)? I mean, you can't really have sustainable inter-cultural relationships without being empathetic and open-minded on a humanistic level that is deeper than cultural affiliations.00|00|0

Do you think Black is ahead of Jeurys Familia on the closer totem pole?
Jun 05, 2014 08:04 AM
Possibly, although I suspect Carlos Torres is the guy who gets the next shot.
Jun 05, 2014 13:27 PM
Referencing your comment on Grandal, I feel the same way about his potential, but I've been sitting with him as my #2 catcher all year, and he continues to lose playing time to Rene Rivera. Is he hurt, are the Padres idiots? I'm ready to cut bait, but listing him here has made me question if I should hold him a little longer, but Rene Rivera?
Jun 05, 2014 12:13 PM
20 team mixed. Variation of head to head. Rivera, Doumit, Butera, Gimenez are probably the best of the FA.

Come one, come all, come see what four losses in a row will do to a man! THRILL at the snarky comments! CHILL at the angry lectures to college kids! Bite your knuckles in sheer sadness as we take a look at the remaining schedule!
Look, it's hard out there for an Ohio State fan. Money sports are 1-5 in 2014, and the faithful are losing hope. Michael and I are just as at a loss to explain what's going on as you are, but hey! At least we're adding jokes.
Still, there is one man to save us from these winter doldrums, and that's 11W's own Jeremy Birmingham, who will float your boat with all kinds of great recruiting info as we approach signing day. If you want to know the latest with new Ohio State signees, or what the impact of the new coaching hires will be, this is the place to tune in.
Add this to our Ask Us Anything segment (which you can do by asking us anything either on Twitter or email@example.com), and maybe, just maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel.
Join us after the cut, and we promise that it'll be worth your while.
Here's how everything shook out:
0:24- Michael and I talk about the Nebraska "game" and get Real Mad about how the team is playing in general as we attempt to pinpoint exactly where things are going wrong. Allow us to be a conduit for your woes, Ohio State fans!
17:35- Jeremy comes on to discuss recruiting, and guess what it turns out that this is one thing that Ohio State is actually winning in (see: Taylor, Brady)
36:51- Only one lonely question this week for Ask Us Anything, but it does serve as a great jumping off point for our eulogy to the BCS
And that's it! Music for the Dubcast this week was Use Your Language by J Roddy Walston and the Business, Everything is Average Nowadays by the Kaiser Chiefs, and You're the Best by Joe Esposito. See you all next week!

Ohio State survived its toughest challenge of the season its last time out.
It's unlikely to receive much of a test in its final tuneup before the start of conference play.
The third-ranked Buckeyes look to complete a perfect non-conference slate in the regular season for the first time in three years Friday night in their first meeting with Louisiana-Monroe, which hasn't defeated a ranked opponent in more than two decades.
Ohio State (12-0) hasn't faced the stiffest of competition, with its only game against a ranked team coming Nov. 16 against then-No. 17 Marquette. The Golden Eagles are nowhere near the Top 25 anymore, however, having lost five of 10.
The Buckeyes won each of their first 11 games by double digits, but expected a challenge from Notre Dame on Saturday in the BlackRock Gotham Classic at Madison Square Garden, and the Fighting Irish delivered. Ohio State appeared to be on its way to its first loss, trailing by eight with 49 seconds remaining, before storming back for a 64-61 win.
Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored seven of his nine points in the final 33 seconds - including going 5 of 5 at the line - and put the Buckeyes ahead on a layup with 16 seconds to play.
''I don't really know what happened. It was a big blur,'' senior guard Aaron Craft said. ''We never stopped. We never gave up. Guys were running around getting tips and guys made big free throws.''
A hallmark of Ohio State has been its defense, and the team stepped up in the waning moments, forcing four turnovers in the final minute.
The Buckeyes, who limited Notre Dame to 4-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc, rank fourth in the country in scoring defense at 55.9 points per game and third in opponent 3-point shooting at 25.0 percent.
That could be a cause of concern for Louisiana-Monroe (3-4), which is averaging 59.0 points and shooting 37.5 percent from the floor during a three-game losing streak. The Warhawks are also tied for 341st out of 345 Division I schools with an average of 17.0 turnovers.
Louisiana-Monroe leading scorer Amos Olatayo has gone cold, averaging 11.5 points on 35.4 percent shooting in the last four games after averaging 21.0 points and 72.2 percent in the first three.
Smith, Ohio State's leading scorer, had a rough night offensively against Notre Dame until the final minute. The senior had averaged 15.7 points on 57.4 percent shooting - including 15 of 30 from 3-point range - in his previous seven contests.
LaQuinton Ross had 16 points and a career high-tying 11 rebounds Saturday, and is averaging 17.7 points in his last three contests - 4.9 better than his season average.
Ohio State, which opens Big Ten play at Purdue on New Year's Eve, is seeking its first undefeated non-conference slate in the regular season since 2010-11.
The Warhawks haven't played since Sunday's 83-61 home loss to Louisiana Tech, and are 2-16 on the road since the start of last season.
Louisiana-Monroe opened the season with an 80-63 loss to then-No. 5 Kansas and has dropped 22 straight games against ranked foes since defeating No. 9 Arkansas 87-78 on Dec. 30, 1992.
"Ohio State is ranked third in the country and it's going to be a challenge," Louisiana-Monroe coach Keith Richard said. "I said when we went into this stretch of at LSU, at Ole Miss, Tech at home and at Ohio State that we'd go into it with enthusiasm and we'd come out of it with enthusiasm. That's what we're going to do."

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Did you notice the Google algorithm update last week?
It was released last Friday (14th September) with very little fanfare. It wasn't as serious as a Panda or Penguin update, but webmasters still found it had quite an effect on their rankings.
Here is some of the chatter from a WebmasterWorld forum post on the topic:
We saw a 50% increase in our Google referrals
Google's Panda update in June sent a large number of websites plumetting down the search engine rankings. This has left many SEO consultants and webmasters asking why is Google penalizing some good sites to get the bad ones?
There has been widespread discussion amongst webmasters and SEO experts as to what is the best approach to get their sites out of Google's black list as …
I recently came across an interesting thread on the WebmasterWorld forum which has generated plenty of discussion.
The topic being, what would you change in the Google search algorithm?
Some of the changes that forum members would make include:
You would think that listing all the factors that Google uses to determine your ranking would be a near impossible task, right? Well, apparently not. Today we have your first sneak peek at the list of the almost 200 search engine ranking factors used by Google.

Whitney Duncan Opens Up About 'Survivor: South Pacific,' New Music and Her Kidnapped Cousin Holly Bobo
Whitney Duncan will go from country singer to castaway when 'Survivor: South Pacific' kicks off tonight on CBS. The 27-year-old 'Skinny Dippin" singer sat down with Country Music Is Love, where she dished about the show, her new EP, and — sadly — her cousin Holly Bobo, who is still missing after being kidnapped in April.
"I applied last year and didn't make it on the show, but they called me this year and I went to L.A. to audition. And luckily, they picked me!" Duncan says of how she snagged a spot on the show in the first place. Now that the show has completed filming for the season, the Tennessee native can admit that it wasn't totally what she expected. She reveals, "It was harder than I thought it would be, but it was amazing!"
Duncan, a self-proclaimed 'Survivor' fan, didn't want her fellow castaways to know about her country singer status. She's one of 15 new competitors and two returning survivors. "I kept my music career a bit of a secret," she reveals. "I just told my tribe I was a songwriter, because I wanted them to take me seriously. I didn't want them to think I was there just to promote my career … those kind of contestants irritate me."
But being that music is her career, Duncan didn't take time off while she was in Samoa shooting. She was inspired to write new material, including one song that will appear on her new EP "that will hopefully be out this fall or early 2012."
In April, Whitney Duncan's cousin Holly Bobo was kidnapped from her front yard early one morning while she was preparing to leave for school, and she has not been seen since. Duncan says that she kept her 18-year-old cousin in her mind while she was shooting, even though she wasn't as in the loop as she would have liked to be. "I definitely talk about her on the show. It was difficult being away from my family and not knowing what was going on during filming," she says, adding that while leaving was tough, it was something she had to do. "It was most definitely one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. After much discussion with my family, I decided it was best that I do the show. I would regret not doing it."
The season premiere of 'Survivor: South Pacific' airs at 8PM ET tonight, September 14, on CBS.

William Buford led four Buckeyes in double figures with 24 points thanks to a blistering 5/7 night from distance as Ohio State used hot shooting to bury Indiana 85-67 tonight in Assembly Hall.
Jared Sullinger frustrated the IU front line earning 12 trips to the stripe (9/12) on his way to a 19 point, nine rebound effort. Jon Diebler had a perfect night from beyond the arc (5/5) leading to 15 points and David Lighty added 11 points and five dimes in 25 minutes.
Ohio State once again came out the gate strong busting Indiana's zone with 5/6 from downtown including 3/3 from Buford to build a 22-8 lead with 13:55 to play. The Hoosiers wisely switched to man and responded with a 9-2 run trimming the deficit to 24-17 but Diebler knocked down a triple from the top of the key, his second of the half, triggering a modest 7-2 run capped by a Jared Sullinger bull move in the paint to make it 31-19 good guys with 6:45 to play.
With Ed Hightower leading a whistle happy crew, Buford and Lighty were forced to the pine with two fouls each causing Thad to play four freshmen for a roughly five minute stretch. Sensing the need to shoulder the load, Sullinger scored the final six OSU points of the half as the Buckeyes took a 46-33 lead to the locker room.
The red hot Buckeyes shot 71% from the floor in the opening 20 minutes including a scorching 64% from distance led by 5/6 FG (3/4 3FG) from Buford (14 points) and 3/4 FG (3/3 3FG) from Diebler while Sullinger hit a perfect 4/4 FG (11 pts). To their credit, IU stayed relatively close shooting 52% themselves.
The teams essentially traded buckets for the first seven minutes and change of the 2nd half before Ohio State used a 12-4 run against a mostly IU zone started by a Lighty triple and capped with another trey from Buford giving OSU a comfortable 72-52 lead with 8:42 left in regulation. After a Verdell Jones duece cut the lead to 18, Diebler amazingly hit Ohio State's last field goal of the game, a triple, at the 8:08 mark pushing the Buckeyes in front 75-54.
Minutes later, Sullinger picked up his 3rd and 4th fouls 30 seconds apart and Thad's troops subsequently lost a bit of intensity allowing a Hoosier 7-0 run cutting the lead to 75-61 with 4:54 to play. Having seen enough, Thad reinserted Sullinger and and he promptly buried four straight free throws as the Buckeyes scored their final 10 points from the stripe on 10/14 shooting.
Certainly, Sullinger proved too much for IU to handle leading to numerous "surrender fouls" but the zebras - led by Hightower - were absolutely brutal both ways. Clearly the agressors, OSU benefitted the most from the crew shooting a ridiculous 38 free throws, connecting on 26 (68%), while Indiana shot 8/14 on the night.
Going on the road in the Big Ten is never easy but the Buckeyes had little trouble eyeing up the rim in Assembly Hall shooting 61% on the night featuring an aboslutely blistering 68% (13/19) from downtown. The Hoosiers tried to keep pace shooting 50% from the floor but they could only muster 38% from deep (9/24) while the Buckeyes won the glass 26-20. Ohio State coughed it up an uncharacteristic 14 times and supposedly committed 20 fouls but forced 14 IU miscues and 30 fouls.
Deshaun Thomas chipped in eight points (6/7 FT), Dallas Lauderdale grabbed five rebounds and Aaron Craft put up four assists and three rebounds in support of the big four.
Christian Watford paced Indiana with 17 points and Victor Olapido scored 14 while Jordan Hulls chipped in 12.
The win improved Ohio State to 14-0 overall and 1-0 in Big Ten play and marks the first time in school history the Bucks have won three straight in Assembly Hall. Next up, a Tuesday night trip to Iowa while most of Buckeye Nation will be watching the Sugar Bowl.

Feature Article of Friday, 31 August 2012
Columnist: Fosu, John
I wish to introduce my write-up by a prelude that defines Social criticism. "The term social criticism locates the reasons for malicious conditions of the society in flawed social structures. People adhering to a social critics aim at practical solutions by specific measures, often consensual reform but sometimes also by powerful revolution"
My readers, the citizens of Kumawuman and the traditional rulers in Ghana, especially those in Ashanti Region, will recall that the paramount chief of Kumawu traditional area, Barima Asumadu Sakyi II, passed over five years ago. Never in the history of Kumawuman has the paramount throne been left unoccupied for months let alone years, after the demise of its occupant. The traditional leaders install a new successor paramount chief always within forty days of the death of the paramount chief.
Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, advised the elders of Kumawuman to co-operate with Kumawuhemaa to install a new paramount chief within forty days of the expiry of Barima Asumadu Sakyi II. Little did he know that his girlfriend, an insolent corruptible entity, would have to contend with a looming tsunami? The challenge to her legitimacy as a true paramount royal of Kumawuman has sent shock waves through Asanteman Council and cold chill down the spine of the occupant of the Golden Stool, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
I seem to be deviating from the topic so I had better get back on track else, my readers will mark me down. Nananom Agogohene and Kwamanghene, vassals of Kumawuhene, are acting irresponsibly, appropriating to themselves undue influence following from the death of Kumawuhene, Barima Asumadu Sakyi II.
Agogohene has sold thousands of acreages belonging to Kumawuman in the Afram Plains to a foreign company. Would he also be shocked to learn from John Fosu, the defender of the poor and the cause of Kumawuman, the vessel of God and probably, a self-styled investigative journalist (not of the standard of Anas Amereyaw anyway), about his second most condemnable crime committed against Kumawuman? He has secretly demarcated a large portion of Kumawu Stool land, got some people, organisations and a court to certify it as belonging to Agogo State. I should think this Octogenarian paramount chief is probably suffering from some sort of delusions or hallucinations else, he would not commit this gross criminal act. Little does he know that Kumawu has legal documents dating several decades back covering and specifying the allodial ownership of the land? The falsified documents he has prepared to cover the land will soon be flying in his face.
Why is Nana Agogohene, an old man nearing his life expectancy causing such grieves for himself, the people of Agogo and the citizens of Kumawuman? He has dubiously engaged in acts that do not augur well in the interest of many a citizen of Agogo or Kumawuman. I will hold him responsible for his ill-conceived actions at the right time. This is just the tip of the iceberg. As we hold the bull by the horn, so will Kumawuman do to him at the appropriate time.
What about the personality called Nana Kwamanghene with his actions? Rawlings may call him a "greedy bastard" I hope, Rawlings will not hesitate a second to add him to the alleged greedy bastards within the NDC when, given the platform to express his views about him? Kwamanghene as foxy as he is, and has always been, has been availing himself of the open opportunities presented by the death of Nana Asumadu Sakyi II. He has not only been lumbering on Kumawuman Stool lands but also, selling large portions of the land as if the lands belong to him. Why is he being that greedy knowing very well that he will sooner be obliged to answer for his misdeeds?
John Fosu informs Nana Kwamanghene that he (John Fosu) has credible information and documents on the Kumawuman Stool lands, Kumawu chieftaincy affairs, and on his deplorable exploitative actions in committal. Why is he irresponsibly indulged in such an unprecedented voracious activities directed at impoverishing Kumawuman?
I do not blame anyone for the ongoing disgusting actions by these two mentioned paramount chiefs but Kumawuhemaa, Kumawu krontihene and Asantehene. I wonder if Asantehene is not solidly behind, goading these two eyesore chiefs to do what they are doing. Why is Asantehene dragging his feet on resolving the Kumawu chieftaincy affairs? I know Kumawu history inside out. I can furnish him with facts and narrations leading to proving the illegitimacy of Kumawuhemaa with her Ankaase family as a paramount royal of Kumawuman.
I will in due course answer Kumawumahemaa, that wicked "something" disturbing the peace of Kumawuman. I will soon question Kumawu Krontihene, that "thing" with an oblong head like a deaf person choking on mashed plantain/cocoyam ("eto"), in a write-up I will pen for publishing.
My writings are revealing and informative. They are educating the citizens of Kumawuman who have little or no knowledge of Kumawu history. They will only serve a useful purpose if the readers will imbibe the contents, act on them and use them to insulate Kumawuman against external greedy invaders like Agogohene and Kwamanghene.
John Fosu

First Trust NASDAQ Global Auto Index
My next pick is the entire automotive sector. But rather than try to cherry-pick the best of a very strong lot, I'm going to recommend the First Trust NASDAQ Global Auto Index (CARZ), up 28% through Sept. 4. Although its expense ratio is a hefty 0.7%, the car industry's on too much of a roll to ignore.
According to BusinessWeek, Ford (F) sold an F-Series truck every 38 seconds in August. Americans are finally replacing their old beaters (the average age of cars on road is more than 11 years), and CARZ will be a major beneficiary of this cyclical trend — with or without higher oil prices.

Honestly, I don't know what many of us Brit mystery fans would do without PBS and their anthology outing - Mystery!
For the last 25+ years it has opened up a whole new world to American viewers when it comes to cutting edge drama, and smartly done adaptations of some of the most beloved mystery novels of all time.
I have yet to be disappointed with any of the series that I have had the pleasure of viewing on Mystery! and I doubt that I ever will be. Missing are the obvious flash bang rubbish you see on most American crime shows, every episode from Poirot to Prime Suspect is thought provoking, easily to get wrapped up in, and most definitely haven't been 'dumbed down' for the masses of which I am very thankful for.
I highly suggest that all crime show fans should check it out, you never know - you may find that the "Brit stuff" isn't as stuffy as you expected.

Christmas in the Mountains returns to Laurel Highlands
For many locally, Christmas In The Mountains has become as much of an annual tradition as Black Friday has become on a national scale.
The holiday shopping event based in the Donegal area which is in its 13th year will be held tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.
"We have people who attend locally but we also have many who come from out of state. People come from Virginia, Maryland and we have quite a few come from Ohio," said event co-founder Jeff Gales, owner of The Old General Store and Country Pie Shoppe. "I think, for a lot of people, it's become a tradition and they come back year after year, many come as a family."
Event co-founder Linda Brown, owner of Linda Brown Floral, agreed.
"I will participate in this event as long as I am a business owner in this community," said Brown, adding that the event is also a popular attraction for groups of girlfriends to shop and enjoy the day together.
This year, seven businesses will participate all along a seven-mile stretch of state Route 31 starting at The Laurel Garden at Nino's Restaurant in Laurelville and concluding at The Old General Store and Country Pie Shoppe in Donegal.
Other participating businesses located along the route include the Gallery of Steel, Brady's Restaurant, Linda Brown Floral and Collections By Marty.
Each participating business will display a yellow and green sign featuring a Christmas Tree.
Each business is offering discounts or giveaways or holding special customer events.
Details can be found on the event web site at www.christmasinthemountains.net.
"It's an event for the whole family. There are many unique Christmas ideas not found at box stores," said Gallery of Steel owner Kim DeMarchi. "I participate because it is a fun time. Great chance to give back to my customers with giveaways and the cookies and food we have in each store for that weekend."
All who attend will have a chance to register to win a shopping spree and an overnight stay for two with breakfast and pool use at the Holiday Inn Express in Donegal.
Gales' and Brown's businesses, along with Brady's Restaurant and Collections By Marty, have participated in the event from the beginning.
"I believe that small business is what makes a community strong and I want to provide a quality product and personalized services to the hard working people in our area," Brown said.
Gales said he feels the event is important to the local community on many levels. Not only does Christmas In The Mountains bring in tourism dollars, it also has several small family friendly events that are part of it which locals can enjoy, as well.
Breakfast With Santa will be held at Brady's on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
An open house featuring live jazz will be held at The Laurel Garden at Nino's Restaurant on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Live reindeer will be at The Old General Store from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Photos will be available for a small fee.
"I think the event helps support the local community and the reindeer photos really help us raise a lot of money for the local food banks," Gales said.

Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellites:
Project Risks Could Affect Weather Data Needed by Civilian and Military Users
GAO-03-987T: Published: Jul 15, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 15, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9286
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Polar-orbiting environmental satellites provide data and imagery that are used by weather forecasters, climatologists, and the military to map and monitor changes in weather, climate, the ocean, and the environment. The current polar satellite program is a complex infrastructure that includes two satellite systems, supporting ground stations, and four central data processing centers. In the future, the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) is to merge the two current satellite systems into a single state-of-the-art environment monitoring satellite system. This new $7 billion satellite system is considered critical to the United States' ability to maintain the continuity of data required for weather forecasting and global climate monitoring through the year 2018. In its testimony GAO was asked, among other topics, to discuss risks to the success of the NPOESS deployment.
The NPOESS program faces key programmatic and technical risks that may affect the successful and timely deployment of the system. The original plan for NPOESS was that it would be available to serve as a backup to the March 2008 launch of the final satellite in one of the two current satellite programs--the Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) system. However, changing funding streams and revised schedules have delayed the expected launch date of the first NPOESS satellite by 21 months. Thus, the first NPOESS satellite will not be ready in time to back up the final POES satellite, resulting in a potential gap in satellite coverage should that satellite fail. Specifically, if the final POES launch fails and if existing satellites are unable to continue operations beyond their expected lifespans, the continuity of weather data needed for weather forecasts and climate monitoring will be put at risk. Moreover, concerns with the development of key NPOESS components, including critical sensors and the data processing system, may cause additional delays in the satellite launch date. The program office is working to address the changes in funding levels and schedule, and to make plans for addressing specific risks. Further, it is working to develop a new cost and schedule baseline for the NPOESS program by August 2003.

with Lulu Two-piece covers
Lulu gives one set of dimensions for separate front and back cover images uploaded for conversion into a full book cover, and another set of dimensions for corresponding one-piece cover PDFs. The template for separate front and back covers includes a .375 inch bleed area on the top, bottom and outside edge of the cover image. However, the PDF that gets made from those separate front and back cover images has only .125 inch bleed area.
What happens to the extra 1/4 inch on the top, bottom and edge? This web page is an exploration of that question with respect to the Lulu 6x9 inch book.
1. Cover designed from the Lulu template.
The template is 6.375 inches by 9.75 inches. The bleed area illustrated is the .375 inch band on the top, bottom and outer edge of the 6x9 inch cover image itself. (The image below has been scaled to fit on the page--it is not intended to be used for the template.)
From this image, I created my first test image for a front cover. Note that the ruler image was recorded and placed on the image at 300 dpi and the final image was 300 dpi. Thus the ruler is at a 1:1 scale in the full sized image. Zero inches is at the top and edge:
This image was uploaded as both the front and back covers. The selection "stretch to fit" was not selected. The PDF created includes a spine and our images:
Two things are apparent. First, the full image has been scaled down in size to fit into the PDF. The width of the PDF is two times 6.125 plus the spine width. The height of the PDF is 9.25. My experience is that the PDF is printed at a 100% scale (1:1). The book is 6x9 inches. That means that ~1/8 inch is trimmed off the sides and top of this image. Second, the material in the original template's bleed area is not fully trimmed. The shrinking of the image to fit it into the PDF size has pulled some of the bleed area into the book cover.
Lulu has built an extra level of "padding" into the specification to prevent authors from having significant elements of their art trimmed during processing. That probably works well for most authors.
What does the process do with cover images that are actually the size required to fill the PDF? Suppose we upload a similar image that is exactly 6.125 x 9.25--the size our previous image was resized to be? It is interesting to note that this image is what the specs call for when making a one-piece image (to turn into a PDF for uploading). This is our new test image:
Below is the PDF produced by the 2-piece cover process for the above image:
Again a couple of things are apparent. The first is that the PDF is identical in size to the previous version. Our image now fills the PDF areas next the spine, without being scaled: The PDF is 9.25 inches high and the scale on our cover image shows the full 9.25 inches. Likewise the width of the cover is 6.125 inches. Again, 1/8 inch is going to be trimmed from the top, bottom and outer edges of the PDF.
Where is the center? The center of the final book cover will be about 900 pixels from the spine (or the left edge of this 6.125 x 9.250 image) and about 1388 up from the bottom of the same image.
A warning:
I have tested several covers made from one-piece PDFs that are identical in size to the PDFs produced by the Lulu cover wizard from separate covers. I have not tested these covers with a printed version. Also, the second cover image size, which was the size that Lulu once called for in the two-piece cover process, is not the size recommended by Lulu. I make no specific recommendations. I offer these tests to illustrate what the print-ready PDF will look like with two different image designs. No guarantees, no representation beyond the statement that I think that the second cover should work fine. I just do not know that for a fact. I also do not know that Lulu will not change the process requirements in the future, making this information obsolete.
View that PDF!
The best preview of your cover is the print-ready PDF available from your project's "details" page after you have completed the publishing process. Download that PDF and examine it. Consider that the spine gluing process can be somewhat variable and this will cause slight variabilities in the outer trim edge. There can be some production variabilities in the trimming of the top and bottom also. The best way to prevent the modest variations from clashing with your artwork is to move important elements in from the edges that you know will be trimmed or folded.

Village of Ellsworth switches garbage service with new year
A different service will collect garbage and recyclables from Village of Ellsworth residents beginning with the new year.
Earlier this month, the village board awarded the contract for the service to Paul's Industrial Garage (PIG) of Hager City, effective Jan. 1, 2013. Veolia Environmental Services and its predecessor companies, including Onyx, have served the residential segment of the community in the past.
Information about the changeover is being distributed to local residents and has been shared with the Herald by Village Clerk-Treasurer Peggy Nelson. The last pick-up by Veolia is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 31.
Read more in the print version of the Herald Nov. 28.

Knit enables data scientists to quickly launch, monitor, and destroy distributed programs on a YARN cluster.
Many YARN applications are simple distributed shell commands – running a shell command on several nodes in a cluster. Knit enables users to express and deploy applications and software environments managed under YARN through Python or directly on the command line.
Knit was built to support batch-oriented non-JVM applications. For example, Knit can deploy Python based distributed applications such as IPython Parallel and Dask+Distributed. Knit was built with the following motivations in mind:
- PyData Support Bring the PyData stack into the Hadoop/YARN ecosystem
- Easy Setup: Support a minimal installation effort and the common cases with easy to use CLI and Python interface.
- Deployable Runtimes: Build and ship self contained environments along with the application. Knit uses conda to resolve library dependencies and deploy user libraries without IT infrastructure and management
Knit enables data scientists to quickly launch, monitor, and destroy simple distributed programs.
Knit is not a full featured YARN solution. Knit focuses on the common case in scientific workloads of starting a distributed process on many workers for a relatively short period of time. Knit does not handle dynamic container management nor is it suitable for running long-term infrastructural applications.
IPython Parallel Example¶
As an example we install and deploy the popular IPython Parallel project on a YARN cluster. This example can be performed by anyone with user privileges on a YARN cluster and a local Python installation. It does not depend on root privileges nor on Python being widely deployed throughout the cluster.
We install and start the IP Controller on the head node:
$ conda install ipyparallel
$ pip install ipyparallel
$ ipcontroller --ip=*
The IPController creates a file:
ipcontroller-engine.json which contains metadata and security information
needed by worker nodes to connect back to the controller. In a separate shell or terminal we use knit to
ship a self-contained environment with
ipyparallel (plus other dependencies) and start
>>> from knit import Knit
>>> k = Knit(autodetect=True)
>>> env = k.create_env(env_name='ipyparallel', packages=['numpy', 'ipyparallel', 'python=3'])
>>> controller = '/home/ubuntu/.ipython/profile_default/security/ipcontroller-engine.json'
>>> cmd = '$PYTHON_BIN $CONDA_PREFIX/bin/ipengine --file=ipcontroller-engine.json'
>>> app_id = k.start(cmd, env=env, files=[controller], num_containers=3)
IPython Parallel is now running in 3 containers on our YARN managed cluster:
>>> from ipyparallel import Client
>>> c = Client()
>>> c.ids
