I tend to not enjoy leafy/water-heavy salads so much this time of year. I might be acutely sensitive or just imagining things, but I just feel cold in that unshakeable damp way after I eat a big romaine salad or something similar in the winter. The same principle goes for smoothies, but I still have them often because some days are just a little too crazy to not blend-a-meal, you know? I don't mind some more delicate greens here and there, like arugula or baby spinach, but I prefer them topped with warm roasted veg, some cooked grains, and a little heat-spice worked in if I can get it. I still almost always get my greens in though–either sautéed with chili and lemon, or roasted for crisp edges, very simply steamed, or sliced really thin with some other vegetables for a tangled-up slaw.
And obviously I know a slaw is technically a cold salad, but it just doesn't feel as cold. The vegetables suited to this application generally have a lower water content, so that seems to help. But I also enjoy piling a slaw on top of some warm/roasted/sautéed foods often, so the cool aspect seems to fade out as things are inevitably mixed/lightly wilted in the bowl. It helps that I generally serve this kind of thing at room temperature too.
To further my shaved salad-loving point here, I've been repeatedly making a winner of a kale slaw from Amy Chaplin's book since I got it a few months ago. It has fennel, cabbage, a sweet + creamy mustard cider dressing, a few other bits. I always add a shaved apple or pear to it as well. It's been my go-to for potlucks and other dinner occasions that need some green. Everyone loves it–I think people are more open to different veg if the cuts are small.
But this slaw here. It's kind of a classic example of what I like to do with food when I'm cooking for people in real time: take a proven flavour profile, tuck in some sort of seasonal element, and re-package it in a way that is surprising but delicious. Caesar dressing is intense, thick and fatty on the palette. A sturdier, more robust green than romaine is a natural pairing for when the days are cold and our bellies need just a little bit more. I wanted to make a slaw with all of those elements and even more cruciferous veggies.
So we have caesar slaw. With shaved brussels sprouts and cabbage too, for bonus shades of green and a bit more crunch from the cabbage. The dressing is sunflower seed-based because I appreciate how affordable it is. The seeds' ability to get surprisingly creamy when soaked and blended up is pretty wild. There's a touch of maple syrup in the dressing to evoke that sweetness from roasted garlic–because I was sort of in a hurry and maybe didn't have time to roast a bulb.
I crisped up chickpeas in the oven with some bacon-suggestive ingredients like smoked paprika and tamari. After a quick roast, the chickpeas even have a chewy and meaty texture–just perfect for this.
Gonna close by keeping it light, breezy, and green today. I finally get my upper kitchen shelves installed this week, and nothing in the world can bring me down from that. Shelfies are in my future! ;) Big hugs, all. xo
kale + brussels sprout caesar slaw w/ pine nut "parm" + smoky chickpeas recipe
print the recipe here!
serves: 6-8
notes: There will be extra dressing, but I'm sure you could find some creative ways to use it up. It totally holds up as a great veggie dip. Also, if you love that super creamy, almost fatty kind of texture in a creamy dressing, feel free to use soaked raw cashews in place of the sunflower seeds.
dressing ingredients:
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds, soaked for at least 2 hours
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp tamari soy sauce
2 tsp tahini
1 tsp dijon mustard
3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled
3-4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp maple syrup
salt + pepper
1/4 cup water + extra
pine nut "parm" ingredients:
1/2 cup raw pine nuts
2 tbsp raw sesame seeds
2 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
salt + pepper
smoky chickpeas ingredients:
1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp tamari soy sauce
1/2 tsp maple syrup
salt + pepper
salad ingredients:
2 bunches lacinato/dino kale, (I used the ribs and all)
1/2 lb brussels sprouts
1/4 head of green cabbage
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
Drain the sunflower seeds and place them in an upright blender. Add the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, tamari, tahini, dijon, garlic, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend on high until you have a smooth mixture. Slowly add more water by the teaspoon until you have a dressing that will run off the back of a spoon. Scrape the dressing into a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the pine nut "parm", in a food processor or dry ingredient-friendly blender pitcher, combine the pine nuts, sesame seeds, lemon zest, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Blend/Pulse until you have a crumbly mixture. Check it for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Set aside.
Towel dry the cooked chickpeas and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, tamari, maple syrup, salt, and pepper over top. Toss chickpeas lightly to coat and slide the tray into the oven. Roast chickpeas until slightly crispy, about 20 minutes, making sure to stir them around once or twice. Set aside.
While chickpeas are roasting, slice kale, brussels sprouts, and cabbage into slaw-appropriate shreds. I knifed the kale and mandolin-sliced the brussels sprouts and cabbage. Place all veggie shreds in a large bowl and toss with about half of the caesar dressing, a little extra lemon juice, some salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the pine nut "parm" and smoky chickpeas on top to finish and serve immediately.

Colorado water diversions, urban and rural
I was born in Boulder, Colo., just long enough ago to witness the merging of the state's Front Range communities into a megalopolis at the eastern foot of the Rockies. In my early 20s, I moved to the more sparsely populated Western Slope, spending time in Gothic, Leadville and Aspen before finally ending up in Paonia, High Country News' home base.
In a way, my urban-to-rural migration -- up and over the Continental Divide -- retraced, in reverse, the path of Colorado's water, 80 percent of which originates on the Western Slope. In contrast, 80 percent of the state's population resides on the Eastern Slope. After the Dust Bowl, that growing imbalance inspired the construction of at least 24 trans-basin diversions -- systems of ditches, tunnels and reservoirs that carry water across or beneath the Divide to farms and thirsty cities.
Boulder Reservoir receives water from two of those diversions, including the biggest one, which draws approximately 260,000 acre-feet a year from the Colorado River. That incongruous lake on the arid plains supplies 20 percent of my hometown's water. I used to swim there on blistering days; my parents sometimes found fossils on its muddy shores.
When I worked as a reporter in Aspen, I saw the other side of the diversion equation. Up to 40 percent of the headwaters of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork rivers, the latter of which passes through the resort town, is siphoned to the Eastern Slope via the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project and other systems. In drought years, sections of the Roaring Fork have gone completely dry, thanks to water demand, and locals erupt in fury at any suggestion that they may have to give up yet more water.
Living across the Divide has taught me that both sides of the diversion debate are backed by valid arguments and threatened by serious consequences. There are no simple answers here, especially as the population grows; Colorado's water world is messy, intricate and fueled by self-interest -- fraught with gray areas and contradictions.
It's this ambiguous territory that HCN Contributing Editor Matt Jenkins explores in his cover story -- which follows Pueblo Chieftain Publisher Bob Rawlings' fight to keep water in the Eastern Slope's Lower Arkansas Valley. Rawlings' family and the newspapers its members have run over the last several decades were instrumental in getting the Fry-Ark project through Congress in 1962. Over the last 12 years, Rawlings has turned the Chieftain's guns on an even messier new reality, as the once-vigorous agricultural economies that fought so hard to bring water across the Rockies are forced to relinquish it to today's booming cities. It's a fight that reveals just how much the West has changed, and one that has forced Rawlings to face an emerging model of water allocation -- one driven by pragmatism and compromise rather than by might and idealism.

Research translates into successful community practice to improve elder health
It is not easy to translate research into practice, and a therapy that works well in the sterile research lab is not always successful in the real world. Researchers across the country are driven not only to discover new treatments but also to make sure their treatments are designed to be used successfully in a variety of community settings.
In the July issue of the American Journal of Public Health, Oregon Research Institute (ORI) senior scientist Fuzhong Li, Ph.D., describes how senior community centers in Lane County, Oregon successfully adopted an evidence-based Tai Chi program to prevent falls among older adults. Based on this success, the Oregon Department of Human Services, in partnership with 4 counties in Oregon, has now adopted the Tai Chi program as part of its efforts to disseminate evidence-based interventions to promote physical activity and reduce falls among community-living older adults.
"Our results are very important from a public health perspective," says Li. "The U.S. population is aging rapidly and falls are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among adults age 65 and older. Falls are associated with an enormous burden to individuals, society, and to the health care system. Tai Chi, as a proven fall intervention, may have much to offer in terms of reducing the public health burden of falls and the benefits accrued for prevention."
The study was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to determine how well the exercise program translated into positive results when taught in community centers by lay people. There is wide recognition within public health that proven programs must be translated, implemented and adopted to have widespread effects. In previously-funded research, the Tai Chi program developed by Li and his team showed positive results in improving balance and reducing falls among the elderly.
Twice-weekly 1-hour classes were held in local senior centers in for 12 weeks. Trained tai chi instructors delivered the program. Li and his team assessed several factors including how many centers adopted the program, whether teachers and staff were successful in implementing key elements of the program, and whether participants in the tai chi sessions experienced healthy benefits. Also of critical importance is whether the community center was willing to consider tai chi as part of its regular programs, and the extent to which participants continued their tai chi practice once the 12 weeks were over.
Results indicated that the all centers invited agreed to participate and all participating centers successfully implemented the program. Program participants showed significant improvements in health-related outcome measures such as balance, reduction in falls, and increased functional independence. Tai chi has been considered a low-cost exercise activity because no equipment and few facilities are needed. These results indicate that an evidence-based tai chi program can be implemented in urban and rural community settings.

This is an adult dessert as it contains alcohol. It is green and vibrant and perfect for Purim!
28 chocolate creme filled sandwich cookies (recommended: Pareve Oreo)
2 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or 1/4 cup chips)
3 tablespoons soft unsalted margarine
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup pareve milk
1/4 cup Crème de Menthe (kosher brand is Leroux)
1/4 cup Crème de Cacao Blanc (kosher brand is DeKuyper)
1-1/2 cups pareve whipping cream
Few spots or drops green food coloring, optional (I use it)
1 loose-bottomed 10-inch fluted tart pan, 2 inches deep
Set aside 1 cookie for later use. Process the remaining cookies and chocolate in a food processor until they form a crumb mixture. Add the margarine and process until the mixture starts to clump together.
Press the mixture into a high-sided fluted tart pan, making a smooth base and sides with your hands or the back of a spoon. Put it into the refrigerator to chill and harden.
Melt the marshmallows in a saucepan over low gentle heat along with the pareve milk. Once the pareve milk starts to foam (not boil), take off the heat and keep stirring until the marshmallows blend into the pareve milk to make a smooth mixture.
Pour the mixture out of the saucepan into a heatproof bowl, then whisk in the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Leave until cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk the pareve cream until it starts to hold soft peaks then, still whisking, add the cooled marshmallow mixture. This filling should be thick but still soft, not stiff or dry, so that it will eventually drop easily out of the bowl into the chilled pie crust.
When the marshmallow mixture and pareve cream are combined, whisk in a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
Spread the filling into the chilled base, swirling it about with an icing spatula or silicone spatula to fill evenly. Put the pie in the refrigerator, covered, to chill overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours until firm.
Crush the remaining cookie and sprinkle it over the top of the pie before serving.
Make Ahead Note:
The pie can be made 1 to 2 days ahead. When chilled and firm, tent with aluminum foil (try not to touch surface with foil as it will leave marks) and store in the refrigerator. Decorate just before serving. The pie will keep 3 to 4 days total.
Freeze Note:
The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months. Open-freeze undecorated pie just until solid, then wrap the pie (still in its tart pan) in a double layer of plastic wrap and a layer of foil. To thaw, unwrap the pie and tent with foil (try not to touch surface with foil as it will leave marks), then thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Decorate before serving.

This Hohner Comet is actually all plastic. I heard rumors that the red strip of plastic around the back is bakelite but have not come to that conclusion from the bakelite smell test and have found no confirmation online. I am struggling to date it. I'm guessing 40's or 50's.

Nobody was injured in an extra-alarm fire that spread to two buildings on the North Side Friday night.
The back porches of a 2½-story brick apartment building in the 2100 block of West Ainslie Street in the Ravenswood neighborhood caught fire and spread to an adjacent single-family frame house, according to Cmdr. Sean Flynn, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman.
All the occupants of both buildings were outside when the fire department arrived and most of the fire was out by 8:30 p.m., Flynn said.
About the same time, investigators from department's Office of Fire Investigations were arriving. It's too early to say what caused the fire, Flynn said.
The initial call was for a still-and-box alarm but the fire department's response was upgraded a short time later.

UnNews:US map of iniquity
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
27 March 2009
KANSAS, USA -- Geographers at Kansas State University have produced a new map of the USA which charts not roads, cities or geographical features but sinfulness. They created indexes for each of the seven deadly sins (pride, gluttony, sloth, greed, lust, wrath and never cleaning out the bath after using it if you live in shared accomodation) and mapped how prevalent they were in several major American cities with each sin being measured according to instances of certain activity in those areas. These were then marked on the map in red, with light red denoting a low level of sin, dark red denoting high levels of sin. As an example, wrath was measured by looking at levels of violent crime - this can be seen on the map by the sin field produced by Los Angeles at the bottom left of the map when compared to the smaller, lighter one produced by San Diego just to the south.
The northern parts of the map holds few surprises. There is a marked concentration of sin between New York, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia as one might expect, though researcher Dr. Chris Peacock - who carried out the project - is quick to deny the map demonstrates that the average resident in this area is more sinful than those in another area. "We'd expect a high reading here," he says, "due to the fact that there are four large cities - which do tend to promote sinfulness amongst a limited number of people - situated very close together, which creates a high level of background sin. Well, that applies to Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, at any rate. It's obvious to anyone who has been there that everyone living in New York is in league with the Devil."
Atlanta also has a high sinfulness rating, believed to be caused by high levels of gluttony which was measured according to numbers of fast food outlets per capita. "The other sins are fairly low in Atlanta," says Dr. Peacock, "But the city has the highest number of KFC and other fried chicken outlets in the nation, leading to it showing up on the map as a very sinful place." The north of the country, unsurprisingly, has very little sin which may be due to the general tedium of the cities. Dr. Peacock says, "No doubt back in the day, when people would be cooped up in their homes during the long hard winters experienced by the northern cities, lust levels would have been through the roof. However, now that people can go from house to heated garage and drive to a heated carpark without ever exposing themselves to the freezing air they seem to be able to occupy themselves without resorting to carnality."
The south shows an almost-unbroken chain of low-level sin all the way from San Diego in the west to Miami in the east. "That's the Bible Belt," explains Dr. Peacock. "We expected sinfulness to be much higher there, but we figure it shows up as low level because although there's a lot of sin of all types going on down there, not much of it gets reported to show up on official figures because they're keen on maintaining their holier-than-thou, whiter-than-white image."
Certain regions hold no surprises whatsoever. In the far north-west, Seattle - possibly the United State's most liberal city - shows a far darker sin field than Portland, so Portland's is a little larger which suggests that sin is concentrated in the centre of the former. At the opposite end of the nation, Miami, Tampa and Orlando have high levels which may be caused by the slothfulness and wrath of the many elderly residents. "The elderly tend to be non-violent, but they sure are lazy and they're full of wrath - they're always railing against something or other, be it prices or the way young folks dress and conduct themselves these days," says Dr. Peacock. Las Vegas has one of the largest sin fields on the map, caused by the extremely high levels of greed in the city.
The two most sinful places are to be found in Louisiana and California. New Orleans, just as you'd expect, shows up as a large and dark patch while San Francisco has burnt a hole through the map. "We expected to find a lot of sin there," Dr. Peacock, a Republican, told us, "But, dammit, that's just ungodly."

Alaska Travel & Shopping Tips
Alaska! The name alone invokes dramatic images of majestic mountains rising from the ocean, glaciers towering over shorelines, rushing rivers teeming with salmon, and grizzlies and caribou roaming freely in a vast wilderness. This truly is the last Frontier. And for many, it is the vacation destination of a lifetime.
To help ensure that your experience in Alaska is a positive one, the Alaska Attorney General has some advice on how to plan and enjoy your trip.

For gamers who travel, handheld systems like the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable are lifesavers. A boring, lengthy flight is the perfect excuse for a focused gaming session. But what if you forgot to bring your handheld of choice? Well, that's what vending machines are for.
Spotted at Atlanta International Airport, these Best Buy Express vending machines offer a wide variety of electronics for travelers, including digital cameras and headphones. The most interesting thing to us over here at OT? The inclusion of a DS system, as well as a number of games. This particular machine featured the likes of Guitar Hero: On Tour, Mario Kart DS, Brain Age 2, and LEGO Batman.
In addition to being very convenient, it also sounds like the games are priced at traditional retail prices, with a copy of MKDS running gamers $34.99. Given the inflated prices often found at airports, this is a welcome surprise. With the waits that often accompany flights, a new DS game seems like the perfect impulse purchase to pass the time. It also goes to show Nintendo's continued widespread appeal, as DS and Wii games and systems continue to sprout up for sale in the most unlikely of places.

General Information
Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky and the home of Kentucky State University, lies on the western edge of the state's Bluegrass Region. The city of 30,000, which is more than 200 years old, grew along the banks of the Kentucky River in a small valley bordered by limestone cliffs. Preservation of historic structures throughout the city adds to its picturesque quality. Easily accessible by major highways, Frankfort is within a short drive of Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.
Frankfort's history is rich with familiar names and events. Daniel and Rebecca Boone are buried in a cemetery overlooking the city, just a few minutes' walk from Kentucky State University's campus. In the old Statehouse, Aaron Burr was brought before a grand jury on the charge of treason. The Military History Museum contains artifacts going back to the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods. Old houses at the Corner of Celebrities, located in the city's oldest residential neighborhood, have at different times been the residences of governors, Supreme Court judges, senators, and other noted statesmen. The Old Capitol Building is a finely restored example of Greek Revival architecture and the first public work by renowned architect Gideon Shryock. Its marble double-spiral staircase is a beautiful example of innovative design and superb craftsmanship.
The Orlando Brown House, also designed by Shryock, and Liberty Hall, built by statesman John Brown, served as meeting places for such famous figures as Zachary Taylor, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, and Theodore Roosevelt. These two houses, along with the Glen Willis House, provide the city with beautiful areas for public receptions and with formal gardens along the river.
Today, offices of state government, the University, and local organizations join together to provide the city with places and events of interest. Beautifully planted gardens at the new State Capitol and throughout the city establish pleasant and congenial surroundings. The Frankfort Arts Foundation brings nationally recognized talent to Frankfort for musical and theatrical productions. Art galleries show works by the widely known late local painter Paul Sawyier along with shows by other nationally and locally known artists. The Game Farm, established in 1944 by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, is only three miles from downtown Frankfort. In addition to its woods and lakes, which serve as rest and feeding areas for migratory birds, almost all of Kentucky's native animal species are in residence.
Frankfort is a diverse community that offers Kentucky State University students a variety of opportunities for recreation and personal growth. Students can choose to be a part of this community in a variety of ways. It offers access to a rich cultural and historical perspective while providing avenues for involvement in civic and community affairs.
From its modest beginnings as a small normal school that trained black teachers for black schools in Kentucky, Kentucky State University has grown and evolved to become a unique liberal studies institution, serving students without regard to their race, age, sex, national origin, or economic status.
The university was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky. During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, when vivid recollections of the Civil War remained, the city's 4,000 residents were keenly interested in having the new institution located in Frankfort. Toward that end, the city donated $1,500—a considerable amount in those days—and a site on a scenic bluff overlooking the town. This united display of community enthusiasm and commitment won the day. The new college was located in Frankfort in spite of competition from several other cities.
Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first building, was erected in 1887. The new school opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.
In 1890 the institution became a land grant college, and the departments of home economics, agriculture, and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum. The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the twentieth century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State College for Colored Persons. In the early 1930's the high school was discontinued, and in 1938 the school was named the Kentucky State College for Negroes. The term "for Negroes" was dropped in 1952. Kentucky State College became a university in 1972, and in 1973 the first graduate students enrolled in its School of Public Affairs.
Kentucky State University's 882-acre campus includes a 204-acre agricultural research farm and a 306- acre environmental education center.
Kentucky State University has an enrollment of about 2,300 students and more than 150 full-time instructional faculty members.
Kentucky State University today has more than 43 campus structures to serve its family. Many courses are taught each academic year in off-campus classes throughout Franklin County and the surrounding six- county service area. The university's student-faculty ratio is the lowest among public institutions of higher learning in Kentucky.
Today's students have the opportunity to receive an associate (two-year) degree in three disciplines, a baccalaureate (four-year) degree in 24 disciplines— several of which have optional specializations—and a master's degree in five disciplines. Students may also elect to prepare for professional schools through the university's arrangements with the University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville, the University of Maryland at College Park, Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, Florida A&M University, Northern Kentucky University, Auburn University, Tuskegee University, Southern College of Optometry (Memphis), the University of Houston, and the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

After the tragedy in Florida, many families reached out to us with questions about talking to children about violence. It is normal for both children and adults to experience a range of emotions after a national trauma like this. We want to provide support to families, students and staff as we face these tough issues. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has resources to help us have these conversations.
We have been preparing for a parent webinar this spring that will include national mental health experts sharing advice. Watch for more information about this.

Stock certificates feared damaged by SandyNovember 2, 2012: 11:52 AM ET
Trillions of dollars worth of stock certificates and other paper securities that were stored in a vault in lower Manhattan may have suffered water damage from Superstorm Sandy.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., an industry-run clearing house for Wall Street, said the contents of its vault "are likely damaged," after its building at 55 Water Street "sustained significant water damage" from the storm that battered New York City's financial district earlier this week.
The vault contains certificates registered to Cede & Co., a subsidiary of DTCC, as well as "custody certificates" in sealed envelopes that belong to clients.
The DTCC provides "custody and asset servicing" for more than 3.6 million securities worth an estimated $36.5 trillion, according to its website.
"At this point, it is premature to make an accurate assessment as to the full impact of the water damage nor would it be helpful to project on what specific actions need to be taken with respect to our vault," said DTCC Chief Executive Michael Bodson in a statement. "We are aggressively working on this situation to minimize disruption to our clients and will provide additional updates as more information becomes available."
Related: Sandy's cost to the economy: Up to $50 billion
Bodson said the DTCC's computer records are intact and that the corporation has "detailed inventory files of the contents of the vault."
The building remains inaccessible, but the lower floors are believed to be flooded. The full extent of the damage cannot be assessed until power is restored and the building is deemed safe to enter.
The DTCC has been operating from remote facilities since the onset of the storm and has maintained clearing, settlement and other services that are crucial to the functioning of Wall Street, according to Bodson.
Bodson said the DTCC is working with couriers to ensure that all deliveries are rerouted to a facility in Brooklyn, and the group expects all other services related to physical securities processing to resume "in the next several days," he added.

Dear BalazsI am new to arduino. I am trying to make an electronic football scoreboard. It is meant to be operated using an LCD screen and five buttons as digital inputs. I have managed to code the LCD side of things but I am having some difficulty coding the timer. Your library seems be the perfect answer to the problems I am having with the timer part of the code.Attached is flow diagram showing what the LCD screen shows and what the seven segments are suppose to do.I am basically trying to use four variables:start_timematch_lengthend_timeinjury_timeAn additional variable called match_stage is used to determine if the match is in first half or first half injury or second half or second half injury or penalties.I want to drive the timer variables using the following logic:if match_stage is first half thenstart_time = 0end_time = match_length / 2set injury_time to user entered valueif injury_time value is greater than 1 thenstart_time = injury_timeend_time = 0At the end of injury count down or if injury_time = 0match_stage = second halfif match_stage is second half thenstart_time = match_length / 2end_time = match_lengthset injury_time to user entered valueif injury_time value is greater than 1 thenstart_time = injury_timeend_time = 0Could you please give me some direction as to how can I use your library to achieve this.
Hi Balázs, could you help me out please?Your library runs fine on Arduino IDE 1.6.5 (under windows 10), but both on 1.6.13 and 1.8.0, when I try to compile the SoftTimer1Task example, I get the "CallBack1 was not declared in this scope message".

More Snapshots from Philly Beer Week 2011
Having just concluded my first official Philly Beer Week as a resident of the city, I'd like to propose that next year Beer Week should be considered a city-wide holiday. With a festival of this caliber, it seems silly to have to go to work when you can (and should) honor America's best beer drinking city by, well, drinking beer. (After all, this isn't just any beer, it's once-a-year and sometimes once-in-a-lifetime beer.)
Here's a look at some of the highlights from the second half of Philly Beer Week 2011.

Supplying Clean Water Globally
Challenge and Problem
Water is one of the Earth's most precious natural resources. Most of it is saltwater. Fresh usable water is only 3% of the world's supply and two-thirds of that is frozen in glaciers, ice caps and icebergs. The remaining 1% is available for human consumption.
Today 1.1 billion people don't have access to safe water and 2.4 billion lack sanitation facilities. 80% of developing world diseases are water-borne with an estimate of 3.4 million deaths, mostly children, in 1998 of water-related diseases.
Demand for fresh water is increasing. Agriculture currently uses 70% of the world's water supply. To feed 2 billion more by the year 2030 there will be a 60% increase in demand on the water supply. Considering the current rates of consumption, population and development, some two-thirds of the world population will be affected by droughts by the year 2050.
Nanotechnology Solutions
Nanotechnology will provide part of the solution for this challenge through inexpensive decentralized water purification, detection on the molecular level of contaminants, and greatly improved filtration systems.

All-Star Workout Day
I'm here at the Westin St. Francis, which is the hub for most of what's going on this week at the All-Star Game. We had the press conference a little where they announced the starting pitcher and it's Jake Peavy. Brad is fine with that, of course, but he was certainly deserving, too. It seems like Tony LaRussa also wanted Jake to experience the same things Brad did last year, which is fair. They're both worthy of the honor.
There was also an hour-long media availability for all the other players here so our three guys got to talk to probably 500 media members in a giant room. Just picture a huge ballroom with tables around the outside of it and each player from the NL (32 of them) sitting at each table that's perched up on a platform with media surrounding them. The two biggest media contingents for the NL were Barry Bonds (shocker!) and Takashi Saito (SHOCKER!). There is a ton of Japanese media here and many of them already cover Ichiro or Okajima, but never get to see Sammy. So today, since the AL and NL are separate, Saito must've had 50 reporters around him the entire time. Hard to imagine what that's like when you usually only have about five or six following you around each day.
After the media availability, the players, families and schmoes like me were upstairs in a private area and Ichiro and Saito got a chance to catch up. I didn't understand a word they were saying, but it was obvious when they ran into each other the mutual respect they show for one another, which is an incredible thing about the Japanese culture.
Russell also has a lot of media from his home country, Canada. It's certainly not like Japan, but at least four TV stations and reporters from around the U.S. were catching up with him and Brad. This truly is a global game, that's for sure.
On a sad note, one reporter actually had a seizure during all of this and while I don't know him personally, I certainly hope he gets better quickly.
Now it's off to the ballpark for NL batting practice and other types of media availability. It will be a little weird being in the Giants home clubhouse, which is the NL's home for this week. It's a lot bigger than the visitor's clubhouse and the last time I was in there was the 2002 World Series when I covered the Giants for one season for MLB.com.
Be sure to catch the home run derby tonight and keep checking in at dodgers.com, as there will be plenty of stories that are specific to our players, including Chin-lung Hu, who won the MVP of the Future's Game yesterday.

It's ok Brad…
Remember what happened to you last year when you started
It would have been nice to see Brad Penny pitching to Russell Martin, but that probably will not happen now.
I wouldn't be a bit surprise if Brad Penny told Tony LaRussa to go ahead and give the start to Jake Peavy. That's the kind of guy that Brad Penny is.
GO NL! (World Series home field advantage at Dodger Stadium!)
I can't imagine that they would use Peavy more than two innings and I think that McCann is the only other catcher on the NL roster so I would bet we will get to see an All-Dodgers/All-Star battery of Penny & Martin. And this way he won't have to pitch to Vlad again.
Josh, thanks for the great update, I really appreciate all of the info you give us.
Actually, with Peavy probably only pitching 2 innings and Martin catching half the game (only one backup catcher Brian McCann). Penny will probably pitch to Martin in the 3rd, 4th or 5th inning. McCann will be behind the plate when Saito is in the game. Nonetheless it's always a fun game and I'm looking forward to the HR derby tonight as well.
do you guys think sammy will pitch w/o a lead(in the 9th),i guess in the all star game every thing is stopper status
do you guys think sammy will pitch w/o a lead(in the 9th),i guess in the all star game every thing is stopper status
Martin might handle both Penny and Saito. Penny will probably be the second or third NL pitcher, so he'll go in the 3rd-5th (I would be upset that he did not get a call to start, but with the blister on his finger, I don't think the Dodgers wanted him to pitch much.)
Since there are only 2 catchers, Russel will work most of the game (more than we would like him to, since he needs a break). The concern here is the same as the concern a manager has in regular MLB game–what if your back-up gets hurt and you need a third catcher. Espescially given the tie a few years back, LaRussa will manage with that thought in mind (part of the reason that it was a HUGE mistake not to take a 3rd catcher with a 32-man roster).
On the flip side, Saito is one of three closers for the NL–Wagner and Hoffman both being longer-established, and Hoffman almost surely earning the right to close the game for the NL. You could easily dispute who is better, but the All-Star game is, rightly I think, as much about guys with great careers as with great seasons. Remember in 2003 when Gagne pitched the 8th inning of the All-Star game, despite going on to win the Cy Young, and being clearly the best closer in the game at that time? Instead, they were waiting for Wagner to pitch the Ninth. This was foolish because Gagne was clearly the better pitcher at the time, plus we all know that Gagne is lights out to end a game, but he's a head case and does not do well when he is in a "hold" situation. Baker did not get that, or did not know that. Here, I think Saito is less in his head about ending games, and can be solid as a setup guy (Gagne is was definitely the mental part of the game). And, also, even though I would put Saito against either of those two guys (and even Gagne in his prime), I think that the argument is less clear-cut. Gagne clearly was the best in the game for three years. Right now, Saito might be the best, but maybe so is Wagner or Hoffman, and they have both been around longer.
No way should Trevor Hoffman save this game– unless you would like him to blow it for us again… Im fine with Wagner over Saito, but id be pissed if they gave Hoffman another chance after he already blew one badly…
Just heard a great rumor, that is almost certainly false, of a trade btwn ChiSox and Pads. Jermaine Dye and Juan Uribe for Khalil Greene and Scott Linebrink…. Please make that trade…
watching the dinger derby Pujols just got eliminated. Vlad is putting a pretty good show.
I forgot about Hoffman blowing a save in the All-Star Game. Part of the problem with not paying close attention to the game (I hope that's not heresy, and I certainly would go if it were in LA, but they have not tended to be great games, because either the home run hitters whack the ball and I'm left wondering how the pitchers made the team, or the pitchers all dominate the hitters, and you rarely have a team scratching our a run, because the speed guys don't get chose. I am much more excited about starting the second half).
But, I'm willing to be that with him collecting his 500th save this year, Hoffman will get the call in the Ninth.
tony larussa personally picked takashi-san,that could be a factor…i think martin HAS to catch him for him to be 113% effective, plus hoffman has put in the time( hate to say it)
i'm sure LaRussa will work Saito in if he personaly picked him.
You know, having Jake Peavy start the All Star game might be a blessing in disguise. Russell will get to see his best stuff, which he can share with the rest of the Dodger hitters. This may prove helpful in the second half. Just a thought.
Man, I **** near killed myself tonight. I went to Del Taco and ordered a combo meal and made it "Macho Size" so that I could get a Russell Martin collector's cup. Those Macho sized fries and drink **** near caused me to explode! I think next time I'll just order a regular size meal and just pay the difference for the Lowe and Valenzuela cups. I can feel my arteries clogging up! lol!
BTW – Russell will hit a home run in the All Star game.
you gotta kick it with the FRIED FOOD Fansince53!
Man i can't wait till ALL OF AMERICA sees our boy Russell Martin!!
Congradulations again to our stars MARTIN PENNY & SAITO. may they represent the Dodgers with honor. Although I generally don't follow minor leaguers too closely, I found the Chin-Lung Hu(WHO?) writeup very interesting. I remember during spring training even the sports pages in New York were having fun with, "Hu's playing short for the Dodgers?" and " I don't know" and " Oh , I thought who was on first". Congrats to the kid for being named MVP in the Futures Game, although we have a pretty good shortstop right now. LETS GO N.L. WE MAY NEED THIS GAME COME OCTOBER.
I wanted to add about the All-Star game. I liked it better when it was just an exibition and the outcome had no meaning except pride of the NL & AL. I've always been an NL fan ofcourse, being a Dodgers fan, but when all was said and done it was always all the stars in one place that was the real meaning of the game. The last few years the Dodgers are always a contender and we never know how far they will go. So there is always a chance the result of the game might be important to us. Which means the tention,(____ALMOST (but not quite),like a regular Dodger game____),at the end of a close game gets kind of uncomfortable. Oh I'd like to add I agree with Sarah, that we should use 40 players. TO THE DODGERS NOT IN THE GAME__ENJOY THE 4 DAYS OFF THEN COME BACK FOR THE BIG FIGHT. WE GOTTA GET BACK TO THE POST SEASON.

When Is It OK to Lie to Your Spouse?
To shield each other from things they don't need to know and protect their relationship, couples often engage in behavior researchers call "protective buffering." Elizabeth Bernstein reports on Lunch Break.

My favorite part of North Korea was undoubtedly the children. I met many kids that I played with, from proper Pyongyang upper-class children, to kids from a countryside farming town. While we see many images in the media of the country raising havoc with military bravado, we often forget about the next generation of Koreans who have the power to perhaps change their country for the better. This North Korea photography gallery is an ode to them.
If you want a bigger version of one of these photos, e-mail me at email@example.com
[nggallery id=3]
Support my work chronicling North Korea and other places in the world by becoming a citizen photo-journalist yourself and purchasing a Canon Rebel t3i from my affiliate store below, and I'll make a tiny percentage of the sale. Buying a good DSLR was one of the best purchase decisions in my life. Even with a cheap lens, I still produce great images on the t3i because this professional grade camera has such a good sensor.

Minimalist Scholar: "Meh."
Dead Sea Scroll Scholar: "I think it is very likely that Tauriel may have existed in a precanonical form of the book, which very well might be lost in a jar in a cave."
Q-Scholar: "I believe that if we analyze the Jacksonian variant and the Tolkien variant we might come to find a hypothetical original, which we shall designate as the Hypothetical-V (for Valar) Source."
Confessional Theologian: "It was a fine movie, but absolutely wrong. Only what is in the Hobbit book is the true word of Tolkien and all other additions are late heresies."
Gnostic Scholar: "I prefer the additional movie material to the original book. Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about."
Old Testament Theologian: "I can definitely see the influence of the Davidic narratives on the story of Bilbo and the Dwarves."
New Testament Theologian: "Whaaa…? David? I think you mean Jesus."
Old Testament Theologian: "Same difference."
Atheist Scholar: "I'm still irritated that Tolkien's world has a Christian version of heaven and an afterlife in it. WTF?"
Liberation Theologian: "I really appreciate the character of Bard; his plight is so common among God's children, and Peter Jackson did such a great job of orchestrating the evils of economic greed and social injustice in the political hierarchy of Lake Town and the downfall of Thorin as his mind is taken by the power of the Arkenstone."
Conservative Catholic Theologian: "Goodness you talk too much."
Liberation Theologian: "When I can get a word in, while you're not yelling over us, I take it."
Anglican Theologian: "C.S. Lewis beats Tolkien any day."
Minimalist Scholar: "Meh."
Progressive Christian Scholar: "I think the love between Tauriel and Kili is a beautiful thing; it shows us that love can happen anywhere between any group of people, regardless of their differences. It shows us that love is a complicated emotion and, like the love of God, knows no boundaries."
Confessional Theologian: "Heresy!"
Conservative Catholic Theologian: "Ew."
Progressive Christian Scholar: "Oh, shut up you two."
Conservative Baptist Scholar: "Any love that is not between one human man and one human woman is an abomination against the Lord. Also since all the female Dwarves have beards, we can safely assume that this movie is all part of some grand homosexual agenda."
Maximalist Scholar: "We've discovered the remains of a building which might be an example of an early Gondorian style synagogue. We've finally proved that Middle Earth was a real thing!"
Minimalist Scholar: "That's…pretty stupid."
Mormon Scholar: "We have our own version of 'The Hobbit' and it is waaayyyy better than yours. And it is written in a different language–reformed Tolkieneese–so take that all you non-Mormons!"
Confessional Theologian: "Can we all agree to just ignore that guy?"
Methodist Scholar: "Can't we all just agree that the movie and the book are separate entities and should be judged as such, without muddying the water and acting as if they should all be grouped together in the same category (and therefore hold them to the same standards)? I mean, we all can usually separate the Gnostic Gospels and the Canonical Ones in this way—can't we at least make a mental attempt to do the same thing when it comes to Tolkien?"

Zip files are a great way to pack up a collection of files to send them to other people, usually in an email. At least three or four times a year, I run into someone who doesn't know how to zip up a collection of files in Windows. I ran into three people in the last two weeks at work.
Years ago, you had to have a third party tool such as WinZip to create and open zip files. In 2001, Windows XP was released with built-in zip capabilities. Microsoft decided to call these compressed folders.
Not only is it easy to use the built in zip features in Windows, it's also possible to password protect zip files so that others can't open the files inside them. However, even though a zip file is password protected, you can still see a list of files inside it. I have always hated that, but I found a way around it.
Here is how to hide all of your top secret files in a zip file (or compressed folder).
First, let's create two zip folders. You'll see why we need two of them shortly.
To create a zip folder, right click into any folder or in an empty place on your desktop, and choose NewCompressed Folder.
Let's choose Stuffand Top Secretas the names of the new zip files.
Now we can add some top secret files to our Stufffolder. I'm going to add a JPG picture to it here. I'll open up Stuff.zipby double clicking it, then drag the JPG file into it.
Now let's add the Stuffzip file to the Top Secretzip file.
Now we need to add a password to the Top Secretcompressed folder.
You'll have to type your password in twice to confirm it.
That's it. The next time anyone opens that zip folder, all they'll be able to see is a file named Stuff.zip. If they try to open it or extract it, they'll have to know the password you've set.
As you can see, all of the files inside the Stuff.zip are hidden. That's why we needed two zip files.
As a final cleanup step, you can delete the older copies of Stuffand the JPG. These are safely and securely inside the Top Secretzip folder now.
These techniques will work in all versions of Windows released after XP, as well as XP itself.
Here are some other ways to use zip files:
1. Compress and Zip Files Online Without Any Software
2. How to Fix Default Zip File Behavior
3. Open Zip Files Online
4. Repair Corrupted Zip Files
5. Unzip or Extract Files Online
Here are some other ways to hide files:
1. Lock And Hide Files & Folders
2. Windows Scripts: Show/Hide Hidden Files and Folders In Windows
3. Password Protect and Hide Personal Folders
4. Hide Drives From My Computer
If you have your own special way to hide secret data, let us know in the comments below.

A video recently went viral of a pastor rebuking church members who had fallen asleep during his sermon. Last week pastor and gospel recording artist Marvin Sapp responded to the sermon, saying the pastor's rebuke is biblical.
On Tuesday Sapp posted a social cam video response to a YouTube video of pastor Jim Standridge rebuking members of his congregation. Sapp explains: "Rebuke means to express sharp disapproval or criticism of someone because of their behavior or actions."
Standridge, pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Skiatook, Okla., strongly reprimanded some of his church members in front of the entire congregation for sleeping during worship service in a video titled, "Jim Standridge Throws a Hissy Fit." Though the video, which has been viewed more than half a million times, has drawn harsh criticism, Sapp points to two Bible passages to explain a leader's responsibility.
"The Bible makes it perfectly clear that it's our responsibility as your coverings to deal with you in certain ways or aspects," he says. "First Timothy 5:20 says, 'As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all so that the rest may stand in fear.'

"The reason why we have a responsibility of doing that is because of Hebrews 13:17," he continues. "It says, 'Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your soul. This is the key. As those who will have to give an account, let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.'
"In other words, each and every spiritual leader has responsibility to give an account for each and every soul that submits to his and her authority."
Sapp concludes by saying the way Standridge dealt with his rebuke was neither right nor wrong, "that an open rebuke is better than secret love.
"We have to learn how to submit, because each and every spiritual leader has the responsibility to not only cover you, but has to give an account to God for you."
Sapp's post on his Facebook page has received mixed responses.
"While he appeared to have some valid issues with people or situations, I have learned in my life that often times it isn't what you say but how you say it," Delores Wells wrote. "There is nothing wrong with expressing your dissatisfaction for a situation, but never should you put yourself on such a pedastal [sic] that you come off as if you are better than others and you are speaking down to and belittling other grown men and women."
Kimberly Figgs, however, agreed with Sapp. She wrote: "Thank you Pastor for the word shared and the wisdom spoken, I appreciate that because it is absolutely scriptural. And anyone who can't receive rebuke, open or not is one who is not in submission."
