College Students Home for the Holidays — M.L "Cissy" Petty, Ph.D.
Finals are finished. Grades are being posted. Residence Halls have all closed. The high energy and stress of the semester is behind us. Students love holidays! No surprise, faculty and staff love holidays too. Every one who makes a campus "buzz" loves the break time. It's a great time to catch up reading for fun, writing for pleasure, and re-connecting with friends from afar. And while all of this energy is good, there still is a certain amount of stress with "going home."
Many students have been on their own for months and sometimes years. Going home represents falling back into "family patterns." Whether you are 18 or 48, you still are the 'oldest, middle, youngest' in a family system. Parents and siblings have a hard time letting go of family roles, we all do. I am the youngest in my family. Until my mother died (when I was 32) every Christmas the gifts were not put under the tree until I went to bed! Yes, even in my 30's...I was still the youngest. When my older sister (she hates when I say that) and I were both home for the holidays it seemed as if she always drove. It is hard to bust out of family roles!
This is a perfect time for parents and students to sit down and address expectations. While life at college may not have begun until after 11:00pm, your folks will not appreciate the return at 3:00am. Remember they have a schedule that they have become used to as well!
Remember your parents are real people. Ask them how they are doing in their work, home and family life. Often students begin to see changes in their families that make them uneasy. A parent divorcing or single parents re-partnering, or the recent loss in your parent's family of origin. Parents having job changes, or moving from the "family" home can all create stress. These topics aren't off limits for you to discuss with your parents. They may appreciate your sensitivity, and be aware that you know the world no longer revolves just around you.
Take time for yourself! Relax, and enjoy. Don't spend all your time on MySpace or Facebook, or with your i-pod. See your friends home from other colleges. Be grateful for time to re-connect. Exercise and get some sleep!

With proper diet, most people manage to lose weight with relative ease, because designed diets speed up your metabolism, thus increasing fat burning. The problem comes, when you achieve your goal and it is time to maintain your weight, in short to avoid rebound.
This is indeed a hard job, but with proper care, it can be managed successfully. In this article, we will mention 12 foods which you should include in your daily diet to ensure that you avoid rebounding from weight loss.
The proteins from milk have a satiating effect, which helps us feel full for longer periods of time. A recent study found that women, who consume about 20 grams of extra protein in breakfast and lunch for a period of three weeks, lost about 5 inches of waistline.
Rice contains proteins which assist in recovery after exercise, improve body composition and athletic performance.
Soluble fiber "dextrin" promotes satiety of 3-8 ½ hours after consumption, which helps in consuming less food.
Eating raisins between meals or after school, instead of the candies or cookies is a good way to restrict food craving.
Eating almonds as a snack reduces hunger and desire to eat between meals. It also helps the daily ingestion of vitamin E without promoting weight gain requirement.
Sprockets release "cholecystokinin", a hormone which is responsible for increased satiety and reduced caloric intake.
Potato protein extract make you feel fuller and reduces the hunger pangs.
Saffron increases the satiety effect, thus contributing to the loss of body weight. Moreover, the frequency of intake and decreased snacks serotonin level is improved.
A new ingredient called "Tonalin" derived from safflower oil, reduces the amount of fat which is stored in body, increases its breakdown, accelerates the metabolism of the same and reduces the number of total fat cells.
An ingredient developed from decaffeinated green coffee beans can help increase the release of fat from adipose tissue.
Canola oil can reduce abdominal fat when used in place of other cooking oils.
Polyphenols from cranberries and green tea increase metabolism after exercise and even while sleeping.
The combined intake of these foods combined with exercise and a balanced diet will help you keep your weight in check.

Q: Migrating user-level custom settings when upgrading app I have an application that uses a custom configuration section for user-level settings. It's done this way instead of using Settings files so that the settings can be centralized in a single app.config for the program, instead of having one per project as is the default for settings files.
The problem is that these custom settings are configurable per-user, and are lost when the user upgrades the software (a new folder for the new build version is created, and the old folder is no longer used). So, I need a way to migrate these settings either on update, or on the first run of the application per user after the upgrade. I've seen the info on Settings.Upgrade(), but that only works specifically on the Settings file section of the config. I've looked through documentation for ConfigurationSection (from which my custom settings class/section derives) and there doesn't seem to be anything helpful. Using ConfigurationManager to pull in the user settings from the installer to migrate them seems to be a dead-end, as the overloads of OpenExeConfiguration don't support specifying both the executable and the user level.
Any hints? The information stored is not critical (remembered window geometry and layout settings, mostly) but can be annoying to lose every time the app is upgraded. The only thing I can think of is to forego the config mechanism for these settings altogether, and implement my own model for storing these settings in version-agnostic files in the user's AppData (where I store a few other user-specific files). I would prefer that to be the last option, as you lose a lot by giving up the app.config wrappers.

A: You might want to create a reference to an external configuration section file that stays in tact during an update. Use the configSource attribute to reference the file.
That way users can keep their settings when the app.config is updated.
This is a related post: How to enable configSource attribute for Custom Configuration Section in .NET?

A: This is an old question but I'll write an answer in case anyone ends up here via Google.
I "solved" this issue by forcefully remembering the previous version's file path and overriding the file in the new config location with the old file.
I'm sure there are many flaws with this approach but if you're looking for a quick solution that might work then you may find this useful.
if (Settings.Default.IsNewVersion)
{
    Settings.Default.Upgrade();
    var targetConfigPath = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal).FilePath;

    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Settings.Default.ConfigPath))
    {
        System.IO.File.Copy(Settings.Default.ConfigPath, targetConfigPath, true);
        Settings.Default.Reload();
    }

    Settings.Default.ConfigPath = targetConfigPath;
    Settings.Default.IsNewVersion = false;

    Settings.Default.Save();
}

United States citizenship may be acquired by birth or through naturalization. Naturalization is the process by which a person born outside of the United States becomes a United States citizen. There are many benefits to becoming a U.S. citizen, including: (1) the ability to hold public office; (2) eligibility for Federal jobs; (3) the right to vote; (4) the ability to petition a greater variety of family members; (5) the ability to live outside of the United States for an indefinite period of time and have no concern related to returning; and (6) security from deportation.
7. are attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.
9. a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, and of the principles and form of government, of the United States. See INA § 316(a), INA § 334(f), INA § 312(a)(1) and INA § 312(a)(2). Click here to view study materials for the civics test.
5. bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law, or perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law, or perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law.
An absence from the United States for more than six months, but less than one year, will break the continuity requirement, unless the applicant can establish to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that they have not abandoned their United States residence. However, absence from the United States for a continuous period of one year or more will break the continuity requirement.
This requirement does not have to be complied with if the applicant (a) is over fifty years of age and has been living in the United States for periods totaling at least twenty years subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence; (b) is over fifty-five years of age and has been living in the United States for periods totaling at least fifteen years subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence; or (c) can not comply with the requirement due to a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment. See INA § 312(b)(2)(A), INA § 312(b)(2)(B), INA § 312(b)(3) and INA § 312(b)(1).
Under INA § 312(b)(3), the Attorney General shall provide for special consideration concerning the civics requirement with respect to any person who, on the date of the filing of the person's application for naturalization, is over sixty-five years of age and has been living in the United States for periods totaling at least twenty years subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence. Special consideration is currently considered to be a test administered in the applicant's language involving 10 out of 25 civics questions and where the applicant only needs to answer 6 correctly. Kurzban, Immigration Law Sourcebook, pg. 1312, 11th edition, American Immigration Law Foundation (2008).
13. one who registers to vote, or votes in any federal, state or local election.
The fact that any person is not within any of the foregoing classes shall not preclude a finding that, for other reasons, such person is or was not of good moral character. As an example, a person is may not be considered of good moral character if they don't support their dependents [8 CFR 316.10(b)(3)(i)] or if they commit other unlawful acts that adversely reflect on the applicant's moral character. 8 CFR 316.10(b)(3)(iii). Additionally, certain actions can make the person statutorily inadmissible, and not even eligible for permanent residence status.

While in prison, Piper is reunited with Alex, and they re-examine their relationship and deal with their fellow inmates.
Laura Prepon, one of the lovely ladies of the prison, posted the news via her Instagram account:

How the 2010s Changed Interior Design
The 2010s tested interior design like no other decade. The recession of 2007–2009 led people to question long-held assumptions about design, resulting in dramatic changes in how shoppers choose what they buy, where we all get inspired, and what designers create. Modern design became more conscious, more engaged, more exciting, more democratic, more individualistic. It was applied in so many new ways to so many new challenges.
Are we better off for it all? It's debatable.
I started covering design in 2010, a challenging time for the industry, to say the least. The country was reeling from the recession, which was felt deeply in homes, as millions of families lost them during the foreclosure crisis and never recovered. Construction stalled, and the projects that survived were value engineered within an inch of their lives. Budget materials like plywood and oriented strand board were everywhere. Cautious retailers played it safe with their home-furnishing offerings. The Cooper Hewitt's triennial asked "Why design now?" and challenged the industry to think about the problem-solving capacity of design in terms of sustainability.
While the dawn of the decade was challenging for the design industry, it also laid the groundwork for the 2010s in ways that we'd never have been able to predict at the time. Instagram, Pinterest, Warby Parker, and WeWork all launched in 2010, and Airbnb, founded two years earlier, received its first round of Series A funding. The ripple effect of these companies on influence, business models, and style is still felt widely today, for better or worse.

Awakening to a Mass-Supervision Crisis
On a sunny November morning in 2018, Kelly Savage rode in a van to the public parking lot of the Central California Women's Facility, the state prison from which she had just been released. She was clutching her possessions—pictures of her son and daughter, letters from family and friends, $200, and the various knickknacks she had acquired during 23 years of imprisonment. Christy Harper, Savage's pro bono attorney, and Colby Lenz, a friend and an advocate for the rights of women in prison, had been waiting for her for several hours in the Central Valley sun. "Let's go!" Savage demanded. She couldn't help but feel that the prison was about to realize its mistake and take her back in.
In 1998, Kelly and her husband at the time, Mark Savage, were convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Savage's 3-year-old son (and Mark's stepson), Justin, after the doctor who conducted the autopsy concluded that he died of blunt-force trauma, with emaciation and dehydration contributing to his death.
At trial, witnesses had testified of abuse—including violence by Mark toward Kelly and Justin, whom the prosecution argued Kelly hadn't kept safe. Mark and Kelly were both sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. (The couple has since divorced. Mark didn't respond to a request for comment mailed to the prison where he is incarcerated.) But more than a decade later, amid a broad reconsideration of the criminalization of survivors of abuse, Savage asked for her sentence to be commuted. She argued, in part, that Mark alone had killed her son and that expert testimony wasn't presented that could explain how the abuse she experienced had made it difficult for her to leave Mark and protect Justin. In December 2017, then Governor Jerry Brown commuted her sentence, which allowed her to ask the parole board for release. Now, at the age of 46, she was out on parole.
Just outside of the prison grounds, Savage and her friends stopped to conduct a small roadside service to honor Justin, for whom she hadn't performed a proper memorial. Dressed in a white top and gray sweats, Savage held a moment of prayer and released three balloons, one for each year of her son's life. She wanted her friends inside to see that she was free and honoring Justin in the way she had always dreamed of. Then Savage's friends drove her to meet some of her relatives for breakfast at a small country diner. Noticeably absent was her and Mark's 26-year-old daughter, who was four at the time of Savage's conviction. After her parents had been imprisoned, Savage's daughter had gone to live with Mark's mother and stepfather. Savage had a strained relationship with her. She hoped to rebuild it now that she was out. But her daughter wasn't there.

The Ultra-Wealthy Who Argue that They Should Be Paying Higher Taxes
Abigail Disney remembers the moment, two decades ago, when she no longer wanted to fly on her family's private plane. Disney is the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, who founded the Disney company with his younger brother, Walt, in 1923, and her father was a longtime senior executive there. Abigail's parents owned a Boeing 737, one of the largest private-aircraft models on the market, and they let her use it for family trips. For many years, when Abigail was raising her four children, she would take the plane to Ireland, to visit her mother's castle. The plane "was like a flying playpen," Abigail told me recently. "I've known the pilot since I was a teen-ager." One day, when her children were older, she took an overnight flight from California to New York, where she lives. She was travelling alone, but there was a full staff on duty to cater to her needs. As she got into the queen-size bed and secured the safety belt that stretched across the mattress, preparing to sleep for the next few hours, an unpleasant feeling came over her. "I couldn't help thinking about the carbon footprint of it, and all the fuel," she said. "It just felt so wrong."

The Hacker Who Took Down a Country
The attack against Liberia began in October 2016. More than a half-million security cameras around the world tried to connect to a handful of servers used by Lonestar Cell MTN, a local mobile phone operator, and Lonestar's network was overwhelmed. Internet access for its 1.5 million customers slowed to a crawl, then stopped.
The technical term for this sort of assault is distributed denial of service, or DDoS. Crude but effective, a DDoS attack uses an army of commandeered machines, called a botnet, to simultaneously connect to a single point online. This botnet, though, was the biggest ever witnessed anywhere, let alone in Liberia, one of the poorest countries in Africa. The result was similar to what would happen if 500,000 extra cars joined the New Jersey Turnpike one morning at rush hour. While most DDoS attacks last only moments, the assault on Lonestar dragged on for days. And since Liberia has had virtually no landlines since the brutal civil war that ended in 2003, that meant half the country was cut off from bank transactions, farmers couldn't check crop prices, and students couldn't Google anything. In the capital of Monrovia, the largest hospital went offline for about a week. Infectious disease specialists dealing with the aftermath of a deadly Ebola outbreak lost contact with international health agencies.
Eugene Nagbe, Liberia's minister for information, was in Paris on business when the crisis began. He struggled to marshal a response, unable to access his email or a reliable phone connection. Then his bank card stopped working. On Nov. 8, with hundreds of thousands of people still disconnected, Nagbe went on French radio to appeal for help. "The scale of the attack tells us that this is a matter of grave concern, not just to Liberia but to the global community that is connected to the internet," he said. The onslaught continued. No one seemed to know why, but there was speculation that the hack was a test run for something bigger, perhaps even an act of war.

Lost In Summerland
As best we can tell, the hauntings began after Andy's traumatic brain injury. On Christmas Eve 2005, outside a scuzzy bar on the east side of Milwaukee, a drunk man sucker-punched my elder brother, bashing his head against the wall of a brick alcove and leaving him splayed on the snow-confected sidewalk, unconscious with seven brain contusions. For several days, my family sat vigil around Andy's bed in the ICU, whispering prayers into clasped palms, wincing at the doctors' ambiguous status updates. At first the prognosis was fatal. So extensive was the bleeding, the hospital felt sure it was only a matter of time before Andy slipped irrevocably into a coma. But he woke fortuitously on the morning of the 30th, wide-eyed and cogent, requesting, of all things, a meal from Boston Market.
After a nine-month-long odyssey of dizzy spells and aphasic episodes, my brother, then 22, regained most of his memory and, as we liked to joke, the better parts of his personality. He bought his own apartment and finished a bachelor's degree, got married and took a corporate sales position. But something strange started to happen over the next couple of years. At night he heard creaky footsteps in the hallway and stray voices in the closet. Initially, we feared the worst and believed the head injury had jostled his brain into psychosis—a grim but not altogether unreasonable conclusion. Eventually, my dad flew out from Milwaukee to visit Andy at his new home in Houston, and when he arrived, he found my brother sitting meditatively cross-legged on the kitchen floor, with the lights of the chandelier above him flickering of their own accord. Without even the most cursory acknowledgment of my father's arrival, Andy said, with a kind of holy calm, "There's someone in the room with us."
In time my brother began to insist that he could speak to the dead and receive dispatches from the spiritual realm. Whenever I visited him on the West Coast, where he had eventually taken a job in the tech industry, his friends would pull me aside at bars to confide that Andy had "summoned" their dead relatives, battering me with questions about what it was like to grow up with him. Most of my family grew convinced of his paranormal talents. (Bear in mind that up until that point my parents had been lapsed Catholics and flinty-eyed midwesterners, with little tolerance for the supernatural.) My father once gawked at water glasses that slid across the breakfast island—presumably the work of spirits—while Andy stood transfixed at the kitchen's threshold. When my grandmother passed away, my sister-in-law reported seeing a green orb floating over Andy's bedside, and upon shaking him awake, they both watched, dumbfounded, as the glinting emerald sphere drifted toward the ceiling and vanished. "Your brother," my mother once said to me, in a solemn whisper, "has powers." Things reached some sort of apogee when Andy said he was stopped for a traffic violation and, just as the cop began scribbling a ticket, he channeled the ghost of the officer's mother, who had recently died from congestive heart failure. The cop let Andy off with a warning.
Naturally, I tended to regard these stories with smirks and sidelong glances. Andy, who is three years older than me, has long had a weakness for showmanship—his coworkers nicknamed him the Bull for his ability to B.S. his way through corporate presentations—and to those who know him well, it wouldn't be inaccurate to suggest that he has coasted through life on the wind of his own charisma. I have seen him make barrooms come to life with karaoke renditions of "November Rain." I have seen him dicker with car salesmen, performing such adroit campaigns of ingratiation that he invariably rolls out of the lot in a vehicle for which he has paid several thousand dollars below sticker. I once joined, very briefly, a rave at a club in Milwaukee, a victim of my brother's coaxing. And so it was precisely this capacity for stagecraft and sweet talk that made me doubtful of—and amused by—his claims of paranormal élan.

At a Cycling Summit in Bristol last November, the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg MP announced £114million in extra funding for the Cycling Ambition Cities Programme, of which Bristol is one of 8 beneficiaries.
This week (Monday 2nd March) the Deputy Prime Minister announced how the £114million will be divided between all 8 cities, with Bristol securing £19million. The money will be used to help each city deliver plans to get more people cycling by improving and expanding cycle routes between the city centres, local communities and key employment and retail spots.
"We are in the midst of a cycling revolution in the UK but we need to make sure we're in the right gear to see it through. That's why I'm so pleased to announce this investment for these major cities to make it easier for people to get around on 2 wheels.
"With the legacy of the 2012 Olympics and the Tour de France in Yorkshire last year still fresh in our minds, this money can help Britain become a cycling nation to rival the likes of Denmark and the Netherlands.
At the cycling summit in Bristol last year, attended by cycling experts and businesses from across the country, the Deputy Prime Minister also announced a £100 million investment to improve the conditions for cyclists and walkers travelling alongside and crossing Britain's most important and busiest roads – what's called the Strategic Road Network.
"Liberal Democrats have a great record of encouraging cycling in Bristol. When we ran the Council we invested heavily in cycle safety measures and were awarded the accolade of UK Cycling City. This was a key factor in our bid to become European Green Capital 2015.
"This is a most welcomed announcement and one that reaffirms Liberal Democrat commitments to both the health and safety of our nation (and consequently our city) as well as our environmental credentials to improve air quality and encourage alternative use of different modes of transport.
"When we ran the Council we achieved a sustained programme of public transport and cycling improvements and by 2012 cycling trips were up by 63% in the city. As both a car user and a cyclist any balanced improvements that make my cycling opportunities safer and more secure is fantastic.

Tin Men and the Telephone offer team-building workshops for groups that are entered around the act of making music. Everybody can make music, you don't have to be a trained musician. With the help of vocalist Emma Reekers, the band creates a comfortable environment which encourages everyone to participate.
The audience first creates the musical material by making melodies, harmonies and rhythms in the Tinmendo smartphone app. These creations are immediately played by the band and assembled into a spontaneous collective composition. Once this basis is in place, Emma directs the participants to sing their own melodies and harmonies in groups, and teaches them how to recreate their beats using body percussion. She eventually hands over the reigns to the audience, and shows them how to direct each other and experience the power of the conductor.
This isn't only a fun and active way of experiencing music, suited to all ages and levels, but it also is a great tool for team-building. The use of different forms of communication, both following and leading, mean that this workshop is especially suited to management courses that focus on decentralisation.

Colorado man accused of kidnapping Michael Bloomberg ranch employee, asking where his daughters were
A Colorado man who allegedly kidnapped a supervising housekeeper who works at a ranch owned by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was arrested this week in Wyoming.
Joseph Beecher, 48, had allegedly asked the woman – who remained unidentified – about the whereabouts of Bloomberg's two adult daughters after he rammed his truck through the ranch's gate and forced her at gunpoint to leave with him, court documents said.
Beecher also allegedly ranted about Bloomberg and claimed he wanted to cause an "international scene" while he made her drive him in her truck to the Denver area.
When she was allegedly forced to take money out of an ATM, the woman mouthed the words "help me" toward the machine's surveillance camera and she was finally located at a motel in Cheyenne, Wyoming, after investigators traced her iPad.
Joseph Beecher, 48, is suspected of a kidnapping on Feb. 2, 2022, authorities say.

WHITMER KIDNAPPING PLOT DEFENSE SEEKS TO DISMISS INDICTMENT
Beecher, who allegedly had an AR-15 firearm and a handgun with him, was arrested and charged Thursday with kidnapping in federal court.
Mike Bloomberg is seen in New York City, Nov. 29, 2021.
The woman was unharmed but Beecher allegedly kissed her on the forehead and told her if she wasn't a woman she would be dead.
The suspect has no known connection to the employee or the Bloombergs. He lives in Craig, Colorado, around 70 miles from the ranch where he worked as an apartment handyman, authorities said.
The victim also alleged Beecher told her that he had gone to a local airport last summer looking for Bloomberg, court documents said.
"We're deeply grateful to the Rio Blanco County Sheriff's office, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Wyoming law enforcement, the F.B.I. and other individuals for their swift and heroic action in this case in ensuring that no lives were lost and that the victim has been rescued and safely returned to her family," Bloomberg's spokesperson, Ty Trippet, said in a statement.
Bloomberg purchased the ranch in 2020 for $44.8 million.

As I lie, nearly senseless, in a tryptophan dream . . .
" . . . yet time and again you glutted on my flesh and you fell in and out of the drowsy, sickened oblivion of a thousand times before, until now . . . until NOW!"
And I am crushed by a sinuous, sharp-toed turkey foot . . . to learn . . . perhaps . . . that the undiscovered country is, in fact, a vegetable patch in a high-piled cloud.

After departing from the team in 2018, former coach Steve Clifford has agreed to return to the Charlotte Hornets as head coach.
Clifford was the Hornets' head coach from 2013-2018, taking the team to the playoffs twice.
The news comes only six days after Golden State Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson backed out of the position.
The Hornets' last time in the playoffs was in 2016 under Clifford's leadership. The team had a 196-214 record.
"I'm happy to be returning to Charlotte, and I want to thank Michael Jordan, Mitch Kupchak, and Buzz Peterson for this opportunity," said Clifford.
Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said he is confident Steve Clifford will help the players continue to grow.

We've been having a few late nights lately due to the live television coverage of le Tour de France. We are a little bit addicted to it. Every year in July, we walk around like Zombies from The Walking Dead for three weeks as we don't get to sleep before 2am each night because of the time difference and the late broadcast. Hence, by 2pm I'm in need of a serious sugar hit to help me make it to the next stage... enter Salted Chocolate Caramel Tart. It was the last stage of the race last night (which makes me sad that it's over, but happy because, sleep), so I sat down this afternoon with a slice of this and a strong coffee and watched the replay of the highlights. Obsessed much.
Break the biscuits up a little and place them in a food processor. Blitz to a fine meal. Add the melted butter and pulse until it resembles wet sand.
Tip the mixture out into a 22cm shallow loose-bottomed tart pan and press firmly onto the base and sides. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Put the cream and butter into a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
Put the sugar and water into a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Boil without stirring until the temperature reaches 180C using a candy thermometer. The mixture will become a deep golden colour. Remove from the heat and immediately start add the butter mixture in a thin steady stream. Put the pan back on the heat and cook, stirring, for a further 4 - 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly. Pour it into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water. Don't let the pan touch the water. Heat until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
Pour the cooled caramel into the crust and place it in the refrigerator to set the caramel. Spread the melted chocolate over. I like to leave the edges, exposing the caramel underneath. Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt flakes. Refrigerate until firm and slice once the chocolate has set.
Yum! This looks incredible and your photos are mouthwatering!
Ok. I need to add this to my bake list.
Wow!! This looks gorgeous and delicious all at the same time!
I made this for Friendsgiving this weekend (a friend oriented party the weekend before Thanksgiving) and it's the best dessert anyone had ever had. I made the crust out of some gluten free snickerdoodles for a friend with celiacs and had to reproportion ingredients for a 113 g American stick of butter.


I have to admit, I was kind of hoping this would be about blood types. Because I'm B-Positive. I always say it's not just an awesome blood type, but good advice. What a nice slice of "cheer up" you've served!
I love your positive attitude … it must be the name :). On my end, you see pictures of my little toddler fashionista, the teenager who met the president this summer, the ever happy tween. But you don't hear much about the panic and anxiety disorder I was diagnosed with. Or the agoraphobia I fight. Or the rest of the messy stuff going on in our world. Because I, too, like to dwell on the positive side of life and am thankful for my hubs, my kids, and my awesome friends who get me through the awful stuff. You rock babe, love you!!
Bought three b Irish T-shirts for me, my sister and cousin for St Patrick's Day. Love them!!
I feel so much like you do, that we have a lot of challenges but they make it that much easier to remember what I have to be thankful for.


The Tumble and Tramp program is designed for students who prefer not to use the bars, beam and vault but would like to obtain tumbling skills! We have developed a series of classes specifically aimed for developing skills on the trampoline and the floor. It is a great second class during the week to get extra time to obtain additional tumbling skills or to perfect the skills learned in other classes during the week. Because of the specific skills taught in this class, it is a great addition for the active cheerleader.

TechCrunch launches Extra Crunch, a paid premium subscription product offering
TechStartups Team Posted On February 12, 2019
After covering the technology and startup worlds for nearly 15 years, today TechCrunch launches its first paid premium subscription product offering called Extra Crunch. Unlike the regular content on TechCrunch.com, Extra Crunch goes beyond the news. It provides exclusive membership experience with all of the tools and information readers need, from deep dives into unicorn companies to expert advice for founders solving the day-to-day challenges of getting their startup off the ground.
According the announcement, subscribers will get exclusive content, as well as a pair of exclusive site features such as Rapid Read mode, which allows users to digest more of TechCrunch's report in a quicker fashion. Extra Crunch membership includes:
Exclusive articles and deep dive analysis into established unicorn companies;
New tools such as Rapid Read mode and List Builder to help streamline the user experience;
Access to an active community of founders and experts;
Member-only benefits at TechCrunch events;
Conference calls with industry leaders on trending news, including earnings previews, IPO breakdowns and tentpole moments.
Extra Crunch membership is for $15 per month or $150 per year in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, and Spain, with plans to expand further later this year. While Extra Crunch is built within the TechCrunch product, regular content on TechCrunch.com remains free to readers.
"Based on feedback from our community we understood there was a gap in the market; our audience wanted more. With our unique lens in the tech ecosystem TechCrunch can fill that gap, offering our insight, research, data sets, special access at events and most importantly the expertise of our renowned journalists," said Ned Desmond, COO of TechCrunch. "Extra Crunch provides a membership experience we believe will be unlike any other in the space. It is an incredible tool for our diverse audience from tech enthusiasts, to founders, to those hoping to learn more about the industry."
TechCrunch was founded in 2005 by Michael Arrington before it was later acquired by AOL, now a Verizon company. It's a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news. Its network of websites now reach over 15 million unique visitors globally and, on average, draws more than 27 million views per month. CrunchBase, TechCrunch's open database about start-up companies, people and investors, has become the leading statistical resource for technology companies and transactions. The company hosts major conferences and events, including the Disrupt series and various meet-ups worldwide serving as community platforms for industry conversation and collaboration.

Manchester set to go wild
The local Wildlife Trust is launching its My Wild City initiative.
At the Mayor of Greater Manchester's Green Summit, the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside revealed the first phase of the My Wild City plan.
My Wild Garden, one aspect of the My Wild City initiative, aims to encourage residents of Manchester to make their garden into nature reserves and offer homes to a variety of wildlife.
"This is an opportunity for Manchester to lead the fightback for our urban wildlife, but we need the help of everyone who lives there," says Anne Selby, the chief executive of the Wildlife Trust.
"If we can persuade people to provide havens for nature in their own gardens then it will create streets which will become nature reserves, and then towns where everyone will have access to wildlife."
As part of the project, the Wildlife Trust will advise people on how to provide shelters for mammals and amphibians, to grow flowers and other plants that are suitable for insects and birds to feed on, and to connect gardens.
Other aspects of the My Wild City initiative will include My Wild School, My Wild Office and My Wild Health Service.
"My Wild Garden is now helping to raise awareness of the crucial role gardens play in creating a wildlife-friendly Manchester," says James Hall, manager of My Wild City.
"We are aiming to improve the habitat quality of at least 15,000 gardens across the city by 2025. By enticing wildlife into your garden with a few simple changes, you can be part of a nature reserve covering the whole of Manchester and beyond. And you will be providing a home for millions of beautiful and diverse creatures."
The My Wild City scheme is already running in Bristol, Cardiff, London and Leeds.

Q: Android ParseException with SimpleDateFormat but JUnit test works? I have a class which looks like this:
public class DateUtil {
    private final static SimpleDateFormat origDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
    private final static SimpleDateFormat reformatedDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE., dd. MMM yyyy", Locale.GERMAN);
    private final static String TAG = DateUtil.class.getSimpleName();

    public static String reformatDateString(String origDateString)  {
        String reformattedDateString = origDateString;
        try {
            Date parsedDate = origDateFormat.parse(origDateString);
            reformattedDateString = reformatedDateFormat.format(parsedDate);
        }
        catch (ParseException e) {
            //if we can't parse the date, we don't change the format
            Log.i(TAG, "Parse exception: " + e.getMessage());
        }

        return reformattedDateString;
    }

    public static boolean isBeforeCurrentDate(String dateString) throws ParseException  {
        Date parsedDate = origDateFormat.parse(dateString);

        if (parsedDate.before(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())))  {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

...with its corresponding JUnit test:
public class DateUtilTest {

    @Test
    public void formatCorrectString() {
        String dateString = "Mon Sep 03 00:00:00 CEST 2007";
        String expectedResult = "Mo., 03. Sep 2007";

        String resultString = DateUtil.reformatDateString(dateString);

        assertEquals(expectedResult, resultString);
    }

    @Test
    public void testBeforeCurrentDate() throws ParseException  {
        String dateString = "Mon Sep 03 00:00:00 CEST 2007";

        assertTrue(DateUtil.isBeforeCurrentDate(dateString));
    }
}

This works. But on my Android application, I always get a ParseException with the same date string Mon Sep 03 00:00:00 CEST 2007. Any ideas what is going on here?
[UPDATE]
I figured out what is the problem. It's the timzone of the passed string. If I remove the "z" in the DateFormat and delete the timezone from the passed date string, it works in Android:
String dateString = zone.getEffectiveFrom().trim().replace("CEST", "").replace("GMT", "").replace("CET", "").replace("MESZ", "");

SimpleDateFormat: EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy
Passed string: Mon Sep 03 00:00:00 2007
This is just a workound and no solution, although I could live with that since I don't need the time of the date string, so it doesn't matter for me. But I'd like to know if this is a bug or if there is something special in Android?


Hays High opened the postseason with a trip to #9 Salina Central on Thursday evening. The Indians entered as the #12 seed while the Mustangs the #5 seed. The two teams met January 25th in Hays which was won by Central 52-39.
The first time the two teams met the Mustangs made five three pointers. Thursday night was a carbon copy as Central knocked in five threes and took a 19-9 lead. The game was tied at two a piece over two minutes in. Central then went on an 8-0 run. Hays trailed 16-9 following a Cade Swayne basket but the Mustangs made their fifth three of the quarter as time expired for a 19-9 edge.
Hays missed their first five shots of the second quarter as Central went on another 8-0 run to build a 27-9 advantage. Braiden Meyers and TJ Nunnery made back to back three pointers to close the gap down to 27-15 with the Indians getting the ball back following Mustang turnover. The Indians though turned it over which led to a three point play for Central and a 30-15 halftime lead over the Indians.
The Indians could never gained much ground in the second half. Central used an 11-0 third quarter run to lead by 25 and pushed the lead up to 30 at 53-23. Central led by 28 entering the fourth quarter then went on a 17-0 run starting the continuous fourth quarter clock finishing with a 70-27 victory.
Hays finishes the year at 9-12 dropping their final five games. Central improves to 16-5 and will play in the sub-state championship on Saturday.
