I Love Wedding CakeFriday, September 5, 2008
First of all, I need to share with you that I have one of the most insatiable "sweet tooth's" on the face of this planet.
If I could sustain my body only on SWEETS…I'd be in nirvana.
Today while I was at work, I suddenly had the incredible desire for a piece of wedding cake.
(I actually went around and asked all the ladies if they had any in their purses…I swear)
Wedding cake to me, is like no other cake in the world.
I love wedding cake more than my own life!
My favorite, is a simple yellow cake with white butter icing.
I don't know what the hell they do to it, to get to taste that way, but whatever it is…it must be a top secret recipe, given only to professional bakers.
Anytime anyone asks me to come to a wedding, the first thing out of my mouth is, "You're having a wedding cake, right?"
And then the second thing out of my mouth is, "What kind?…and how BIG is it?"
The whole time I'm at the church, my only thoughts are about getting my greedy little hands on the FIRST piece of cake that's cut, after the bride and groom traditionally smash a piece into one another's face.
(I HATE that insane tradition)
One time I remember going to a friends wedding, and the food they served for dinner was worse than horrendous. It was like being at a Canned-Food Festival.
The only thing I could stomach were the potato chips.
So I walked around mingling with everyone, holding a plateful of Lays.
FINALLY…they got to the cake-cutting ceremony.
(as I stood there praying to God Almighty, that the cake was going to taste better than the meal)
So they cut the cake; smashed it into one another's face, and then began cutting for the guests. Needless to say, I was the first in line.
(my salivary glands were starting to produce FOAM, which was dripping from the corners of my mouth)
When they handed me the piece, I grabbed the plate, fork and napkin…and went at it.
And as the cake hit my taste buds…I let out an audible sigh.
"aaaah….I've died and gone to heaven."
The cake was absolutely magnificent.
And because I had had no dinner…I ate THREE pieces.
(I know, I know…I'm a PIG)

Hi Ron,ReplyDelete
Oh your poor thing; doomed to wander the streets of Philly in search of wedding receptions ! Yeah; wedding cake is not something that you can just buy a the bakers to take away, like a slice of apple pie.
It's more exclusive...
You are a sweet tooth with expensive tastes ;)
This is my last comment before our departure.
See you soon in Philly !!
Sorry...I won't be stashing any wedding cake in my bagage !!!
I have THEE PERFECT IDEA! You and I become 'wedding crashers'. LOLReplyDelete
We'll just arrive to each event late, after everyone is liquored up, and won't know we don't belong and we'll just stay long enough for the sweets!
I love, love, love wedding cake TOO!
Well, if it's the recipe where they use pound cake and butter cream icing. I've been to other events where it's just regular cake and that whipped cream stuff. Hey, don't get me wrong, whipped cream has it's place too, just not on wedding cake!!
Now you have me thinking about sweets. Interestingly, our astrology group is meeting for a workshop this month and I swear the room is only like 3 blocks from a bakery!!! Maybe I can go in there before the meeting and tell them I'm working on my daughters wedding and will need to try some samples of their wedding cake!!! I've only ever had that stores cream donut and OMG you can feel the arteries tighten after only eating half with all the butter and cream. I only indulge very very occasionally in one of those. Wouldn't want to totally overdo the Rubenesque look. LOL Eh.... TOO LATE!
Have a wonderfully sweet weekend!
Do you think it would be appropriate to just ask a baker for a wedding cake even if I'm not getting married?
The now ex and I had a friend of his make our cake. He was working as a cook in a longterm care facility but his true calling was pastry chef. Oh.My.God!
It was scrumtious. I just said, "make it whatever flavor you want, I trust you". It was delish and beautiful. He got some blush roses to decorate it. I did not smoosh a piece in my groom's face, that would have wasted a perfectly good piece of cake.
10 years ago, we had a major ice-storm and the last piece I had been saving in the freezer thawed. I should have taken it as a sign.
Aloha Debi!ReplyDelete
This photo was taken of me at last years Halloween Festival...
I was bobbing for apples.
onk! onk!
Thanks for stopping by, Debi!
Hope you have an awesome weekend!!!
Morning Barbara!ReplyDelete
Ya know...as I was writing this post, I kept thinking to myself, "Why don't they sell wedding cake by the slice, like pizza??"
And even better yet...have it be a drive-thru window like Wendy's!
"I'd like piece of wedding cake, please...with a side order or fries."
OMG...I know, I'm so excited...I can't wait to meet you guys!!!
Have a safe and wonderful journey, Barb!
P.S. Can you try and bring me a French cookie? Their very small!
Morning Crystal Chick!ReplyDelete
Hey, listen...you and I are on the same freaking brain waves, because I often tell people that I would love to go to annonymous weddings, just in time for the CAKE at the reception!!
I mean, can you imagine?
We could even have special "wedding clothes" that we have saved in our closets, for when we crash wedding receptions!
And yes!!! The cake must have the butter cream icing...none of that FLUFFY stuff.
And the cake should be moist and dense.
So just let me know....maybe we could start this next Spring, when wedding season kicks in!!
Thanks for sharing in the laughter, M!
Always a pleasure!
Happy weekend!
P.S. have you noticed...the HEAT is BACK!
OMG, Anndi...your WIT is beyond brilliant!ReplyDelete
You're last two sentences were FABULOUS!!!
Hey...and leave to my Libra friend to understand the practicality of wasting a perfectly good piece of wedding cake on the face.
(isn't that INSANE??)
I mean, that could be one more piece for ME!
Boy...and your wedding cake sounded DIVINE!
oooh...and BLUSH ROSES!!!
As always, Anndi...your witty words are SO enjoyed!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oooohhhh....I know what you mean. I LOVE wedding cake.ReplyDelete
However, I have to draw the line at Red Velvet wedding cake.
Anytime I hear that someone had that at their wedding, all I can think of is that armadillo grooms cake from "Steel Magnolias".
My favorite is the white cake with the almond flavored frosting. Yummmmm.....
Let them eat Cake!! I too have a love, love relationsip with cake. I enjoy the Italian wedding cake with the cream and the rum and the fruit. I can eat the whole cake if they would let me. I think I may have done that on at least one occasion. The white cake with the white icing is like nothing else. Wash this down with a great cup of coffee and you are in heaven!!ReplyDelete
Well, now you have done it! I am off to the bakery and with a fist full of money I am going to buy a cake. No need for a wedding just the cake.
Have a great weekend.
ARe wedding cakes 'sponge' as in victoria sponge there? Wedding cakes here are rich fruit cakes covered in marzipan and icing. I haven't got a sweet tooth at all and icing sets my teeth on edge so you can have my slice Ron. xReplyDelete
Hi Mama Dawg!ReplyDelete
OMG...is not that "scene" in Steel Magnolias, one of the BEST scenes from a movie???
Shirley Maclaine was BRILLIANT!!!
And I SOOO agree with you, red velvet cake is a cake I never even THINK about eating.
Like you...I enjoy white/yellow cake. I've never tried almond flavored frosting...but it sounds HEVENLY!!! I like anything ALMOND. The Dutch pastries are mostly ALL almond flavored, and I so enjoyed them when I visited.
Much thanks for stopping by, Mama Dawg...and for adding some wedding cake LOVE!!
Hope you have a SWEET weekend!
Greetings my other Libra friend Dave!ReplyDelete
OMG...you brought back such a wonderful memory for me about the Italian Wedding Cake!!!
It was at EVERY SINGLE Italian wedding I've ever been to. Such a wonderful tradition, isn't it?
The thing I love about that cake, is how the rum layer filling, keeps the cake so moist.
And you're right, my friend....it goes PERFECT with a great cup of coffee!!
(god I can taste and smell that, right now)
Tomorrow, I may head for the Italian Bakery and get me a cannoli!
Always a delight to seeing you, Dave!
Thanks so much for adding your LIGHT!
Have grand weekend, bud!
Evening Akelamalu!ReplyDelete
No...here they're usually a plain white, yellow, or even chocolate cake with a delicious butter cream icing.
But I DO know the cakes you're talking about.
Ok, it's a deal...I'll take YOUR piece of cake and you can have MY glass of red wine!
Thanks for stopping by, dear lady!
And you're so sweet...you don't need cake anyway!
Happy weekend!
Wedding cake?ReplyDelete
I didn't know they made chocolate wedding cake?
Chocolate wedding cake with chocolate sprinkles...
any other kind, promise i will send to you next wedding i go to...
GOOD news....ReplyDelete
<--doesn't eat cake.
This means--more for YOU!!!!
Evening Lady Sorrow!ReplyDelete
I've had chocolate wedding cake too, and HAVE enjoyed it (never any chocolate sprinkles, though) but the white/yellow cake is my all-time favorite!
Yes, please let me know about any future weddings...I could be there in a FLASH!
Always a treat seeing you, Sorrow!
Thanks for dropping by!
Have a great weekend!

Howdy Mel!ReplyDelete
Oh, that's right...I think I remember you mentioning in one of your posts, that you're not a big sweet eater (chocolate especially, right?)
Ok, then....just PASS IT ON TO ME!!!
I swap you a piece of wedding cake, for box of sidewalk chalk!
Thanks for stopping by, Mel!
May you have a magical weekend in that wonderful backyard of yours!
Hello...Seemore and Seeless!

I love sweets too, and wedding cake is one of the best things about weddings..that and the wine!! Oh and the dancing if they have good music! hee, heeReplyDelete
You always make my heart happy!
Love ya!
Good Evening Dear Gypsy-Heart!ReplyDelete
See...how did I just KNOW that you would enjoy sweets to???
Probably because you're so SWEET!
Your comment made me remember the music they always played at ALL the family Italian weddings I went to, as a child.
For some insane reason, they always played Proud Mary by Tina Tuner. And I would watch all the women on the dance floor twirling around in their PASTEL BLUE floor-length dresses, and all the men in their PASTED BLUE tuxedos.
It was like a PROM NITEMARE!!!
I was so shy as a child (if you can believe that) so I never danced...
I just JUDGED!
Thanks for stopping by, my dear friend!
You always bring LOVE here!
Love ya!
HAHAHAHAHA Thats gorgeous Ronnie!!!ReplyDelete
Oh I wish I knew you for my wedding! We had STACKS left over... and it all went to waste in the end!
But I did keep the little bride and groom figurine that sat on top of the cake.... and it's made of marzipan and can be eaten! Shall I send it to ya?! :-P *GiGGLeS* xx
Oh I think here weddings are always Electric Slide which sickens me almost as much as effin Mustang Sally.ReplyDelete
Morning Giggles!ReplyDelete
oooh...oooh...me too, I wish I had known you then. I could have flown to Australia and worn my PASTEL BLUE tuxedo; danced to Proud Mary; and eaten ALL your wedding cake!!!
(I bet it was DELICIOUS!!)
You're SO sweet to offer me you're bride and groom cake-top! But I couldn't...that's for you guys to eat on your anniversary.
(however, I will take any chocolate that you have lying around the house)
Thanks so much for dropping by, dear one!
I hope you're having an AWESOME weekend!
P.S. say hello to Rat Girl for me!
As soon as you said Mustang Sally, I had a total flash-back!!
I could actually hear the damn song!!!
And like you...I place it DOWN there with PROUD MARY!!!
"rolling...rolling...rolling on the river!"
Go Tina!
Wow! We're on the same wavelength. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, the ONLY thing I ever craved was cake. Birthday cake, wedding cake, I wanted ANY kind of cake and I wanted it NOW! I still am a sucker for any kind of cake - yum.ReplyDelete
Hi Adrian!ReplyDelete
Welcome...thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share a comment!
Nice meeting you!
OMG...you made me think of something....
Maybe I'm PREGNANT!!!
It's horrible too, because when I get the desire to have some...it's like...NOW!!!!
Thanks for sharing your love of cake!
Have a wonderful weekend, Adrian!
OMG!!! You crack me up, Ron!!!! I just saw Accident Husband yesterday-- (Un Mari de Trop en français) and there was an ABSOLUTELY hilarious scene dealing with wedding cake!! You MUST see this cute chick flick movie.. It's sooo cute... Leesa : )ReplyDelete
Good Evening Leesa!ReplyDelete
oooh...oooh...a film with a scene about a wedding cake!?!?!?
Thank you, dear lady. I'm ALWAYS happy when someone recommends a good film! Especially a foreign film.
And I love chick flicks!
I'm absolutely BONKERS over any film with Meg Ryan in it - she does a lot of chick flicks. She's so charming and lovable, that you can help but "go for the ride" in all her films.
ALWAYS so great talking to ya, Leesa!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
you should start stalking people celebrating their first anniversary! don't they have cake in the freezer? lolReplyDelete
Sweetie you make me laugh. I really could imagine you there with this look of heaven on your face...after the first bite. Once you savor it for a moment or two...that little piggie kicks in and it's oink-oink-oink time.ReplyDelete
I have to agree...there's something about the taste of a wedding cake. I think they taste better because they're filled with happiness, hope and love.
hehehehehe...sweetheart, don't forget to take a piece of cake home for later. You get in your jammies...get your piece of wedding cake and yum. Oh and don;t forget...GOT MILK!
You...babes...I love. Ciao honey.
Hiya Dianne!ReplyDelete
That's a FABULOUS idea!!!
I can get a wedding registry list at William-Sonoma of all the recent wedding dates, then go to these peoples homes, and while their sleeping...STEAL the top of their wedding cake!
oooh...Please don't tell anybody I'm going to do this though, ok?
Thanks for stopping by, Dianne!
And thanks for giving me this GREAT idea, girl!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
Good Evening Miss Jones!ReplyDelete
OMG...I'm like a MAJOR PIGGY when it comes to wedding cake!
I'm virtually an ADDICT!
Hey, and maybe you're right...maybe it IS the fact that the cake is filled with so much love and happiness, and THAT'S what gives it such a HEAVENLY taste!
(either that...or the fact I'm so filled with LOVE and HAPPINESS when I eat it!)
Oh yes...and I MUST have some MOO-MOO MILK with my PIGGY CAKE!
(it makes for sweeter dreams)
Thanks for coming by this evening, Spiky!
You always add such happiness, here!
FABU weekend!
Ciao bella
Dear Ron,ReplyDelete
You're MY kinda guy!!!!! Hehehe... My hubby likes chick flicks, too... BTW, the film I saw is American-- with Uma Thurman/Colin Firth/Jeffrey Morgan (P.S. I love you). The titles here are mostly in French... If you want to see an EXCELLENT French movie though.. You MUST rent Les Chorists.. I can't tell you what a moving film this is.. Be sure you have tissues next to you- it's a tear-jerker... (not a chick flick)...
BTW2-- NEW MOVIE ALERT--- CHICK FLICK, CHICK FLICK!!!!! Meg Ryan on board--- WOMEN!!! Coming soon to a cinema near to you! I CANNOT WAIT to see this film... Meg Ryan looks FAB and their are a TON of other stars... Anyhow.. RON, I must say that you really, really crack me sooo much... I feel like your comments have your voice and it's you, not the typed words that are saying them to me when I read them... Is that even possible, since it's me whose reading them silently to myself?? It's like YOU have transported yourself to your own comments and you are LIVE and DIRECT when I read them!! To bad we don't have video comments with sound, like a youtube clip.. Now, THAT would really be something... Thanks SOOOOOO much for visiting my blog and for writing those lively comments that just absolutely MADE my morning.. I am about to take pics of my dulce de leche brownies and post them on my blog dedicated to you.. Next time I'm on the East Coast, Alex and I are rushin' ova ta Philly... We'll have a cheesestake sand. and a rice knish with ya!!
Cheers, Leesa
You're going to think I'm a bit cuckoo, (but that's OK...my motto is why be normal?) but I don't care for chick flicks or dramas. I love screwball comedies! Spaceballs (merchandising...where the real money is made. Spaceballs da breakfast cereal, Spaceballs da lunchbox...")ReplyDelete
Made in America, which I was looking for a copy, and found one day in ROSS of all places! Look Who's Talking (the first one) Innerspace had Meg Ryan in it (also: Armed and Dangerous). Once Upon a Crime is a riot. It's plot revolves around a missing Monte Carlo Dachshund, whose owner is murdered, and American tourists try to get the reward money without looking like suspects.
And no, still no blog. I've brainstormed about some name ideas, but nothing set in stone. I mean if I choose to make fun of myself by referring to my blubber in my blog name, what if, by some miracle, I lose the blubber? LOL
Guess who couldn't wait until I'm in the area of that bakery in two weeks??? I made a detour on the way home from errands yesterday but couldn't get parking at the bakery so IN THE RAIN walked like 2 blocks to get me a yummy cream filled donut. And of course one for sonnyboy and hubbyhub. It's amazing they even got whole untouched ones and my fingers were in the bag before I even arrived back home.ReplyDelete
They did have a BIG wedding cake displayed there on the side counter so I might just have to order a small one for after me and hub's anniversary dinner in Nov.
Do you think it'll travel well in my suitcase for the trip to Mexico in December??? OH like there would even be a tiny crumb leftover.
dear lord I wish u could try this cake we have at a local bakery here, it's called the "ding dong cake" it's a giant ding dong dipped in chocolate....it's crazy good!ReplyDelete
Good Evening Leesa!ReplyDelete
YES!!!...it's so funny, because when I came to your blog after I left you the previous comment, here....I saw that the movie you spoke about was not foreign, but rather American!
Silly me!
OMG...I think it's wonderful that your hubby enjoys chick flicks, because there's not many mem out there who DO. He must be a very sensitive guy.
And thank you SO MUCH for telling me about the new Meg Ryan film!!!! I've been so out of the loop with films lately, so I have no idea what's coming out! I've turned into one of those people who waits for the film to come out in DVD, but seeing them in a movie theater is so much better!
(including the popcorn, soft drink and TWIZZLERS)
And I will definately be on the look out for the other film you mentioned too. I happen to really enjoy a real tear-jerker.
The only films I'm not fond of, are ones that have a lot of violence in them. Violence really upsets me.
And thank you for enjoying my comments. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY enjoy commenting, not only on this blog, but others as well. I try to write as I feel, so maybe that's what you pick up on. I truly believe, that words have "energy" and however we express them...is how they'll be FELT. I honestly can tell more about a person from reading their words, than by actually SEEING them.
Perhaps you're that way too.
I really enjoyed catching up on your posts last night. What a wonderful cook you are!
And listen, if ever you should happen to be on the East Coast, PLEASE DO stop by Philly. I would so enjoy meeting you and your husband!
I'm so excited about meeting Barbara this month!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by again, Leesa!
Always a pleasure sharing with you!
Enjoy your evening!
Good Evening Debi!ReplyDelete
So nice seeing you again!
I know quite a few women who don't enjoy chick flicks or dramas...so I don't think you're cuckoo at all! We all have our own unique tastes, ya know?
ooooh....I enjoy comedies too!
Have you ever seen any of Christopher Guest films? Best is Show? Waiting for Guffman? To me, the man is beyond BRILLIANT!! I own two of his films and watch them regularly! His comedy is very DRY, but VERY funny!
And YES....Look Who's Talking (the first one) was absolutely HYSTERICAL. I think Travolta and Alley were a PERFECT match in that film. I love both of them. It's one of those films that I would watch AGAIN, and AGAIN.
Hey, listen, about your blog...trust me, one day it will just COME TO YOU about how you want to present it. And it also may change, as you move forward with it. This blog for instance, started out one way, but I ending up taking it another. That's the great thing about a blog...it constantly moves FORWARD, so chances are...it will CHANGE.
And as far as loosing the "blubber"...sometimes that happens. You just go dry. This is one of the reasons why I only post 3 times a week. I give myself lots of time to create new posts in between, and then store them in my documents. And then occasionally, I take a week off...just to get away from it all. Much of what I write comes from my everyday experiences, so I always jot down notes, so I remember them.
You'll find your OWN wonderful way of blogging. It will just evolve.
And I so look forward to reading yours!
Thanks again for stopping by, Debi!
What fun!
Hiya Crystal Chick!ReplyDelete
OMG...I'm sitting here, laughing my ass of thinking about you detouring IN ALL THAT RAIN WE GOT YESTERDAY...and heading for the bakery!
How FUNNY!
Hey...if anyone knows how you felt...it's ME!!! And if I had been with you, I would have been CHEERING you on!
oooh...and did you both decide on MEXICO for your anniversay vacation??? How WONDERFUL!!! Hey, and December will be PERFEECT too! It'll be cold HERE and warm THERE!
Good choice, M!
Hey, and don't take any sweet with you...just wait til you get there, and PIG OUT!
Thanks for stopping by today, M!
Hope you had an enjoyable weekend!
Wasn't it beautiful today!
(yea...and I WORKED!)
Hiya April!ReplyDelete
It's SO nice seeing you, dear lady!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey...that DING DONG cake sounds ORGASMIC!
Anything chocolate, DIPPED in chocolate sounds like a a dream come true!
If you email me a piece...I'll pay you $100.00!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, April!
I love the versatility of the modern era... go traditional, or something different!ReplyDelete
Maybe a marble cake with choc mousse icing?? lmao! (I made that for my baby-girl's 1st birthday cake lol!!)
Enjoy your cake Ron.. maybe you can just pop into random bakeries/ cake specialist places (we have a few here) and ask to 'sample' their 'designs'??
Or maybe I can express post some treats to you?
Hiya Trublmaka!ReplyDelete
It's SOOOO great seeing ya!
Thanks for stopping by for a piece of wedding cake!
oooh...oooh...hey, that marble cake with the chocolate mousse icing sounds HEAVENLY!! I do like marble cake and also chocolate mousse, but never thought of putting them together!! How ingenious of you!
You're so funny, but that's actually a great idea about going from bakery to bakery and SAMPLING! I can just tell them that I'm thinking about getting married, and need to taste the cake FIRST, before I buy it!
oooh...and how long do you think it would take for a cake to get here, from Australia???
Thanks so much for your invitation, Trubl!
Hope you had an enjoyable weekend!
Oh I agree about the chemistry between Alley & Travolta...and also Made in America Goldberg/Danson. You could just feel it.ReplyDelete
The blog. Yeah, I'm just stuck on a title! I'm this way when it comes to naming things. My dogs took forever to name, especially the pup. I guess I just don't want to pick something then down the road go 'oh why did I name it THAT?'
Hi Debi!ReplyDelete
You're smart about choosing a good name that you want to stick with.
I had first named this blog Ventriloquist (after the puppet) and then changed it to Vent. I made the change very early in beginning, before I had readers, so it wasn't a hassle. But once a blog is established, the name becomes established too.
I've learned something while blogging....
Unless the blog is about something specific (say, a specific topic) choose a name that's general and simple, so you can change what you talk about on the blog, for the furture.
I never thought about going back for seconds or thirds on the cake. hmmm...you've broadened my horizons!ReplyDelete
I love wedding cake too. It's makes it worth it to make it through the long ceremonies and annoying bands...gross buffet food and endless toasts!
Howdy Rhea!ReplyDelete
Thirds, fourths, and fifths!
I'm such a PIGGY!
P.S. and I totally forgot about all the annoying toasts!!!
Thanks for stopping by, Rhea!

How To: Mulch Your Flower Beds
Laying mulch before the winter gives your soil a head start for the next growing season. It also protects delicate plants, adding the equivalent of a whole zone level to those that might not be hardy enough for the area. Kristin Schleiter, the acting Director of Outdoor Gardens at the New York Botanical Garden, shares some tips to make the most of mulch.
When choosing the type you want to lay in your garden, avoid mulch made of raw wood (because it robs the soil of the nitrogen plants require) and any that are artificially dyed (since they add extra chemicals to the garden).
The New York Botanical Garden prefers leaf mold (pictured above), which you can make yourself in the backyard, and pine bark mulches (right). Other suitable materials include cocoa hulls, straw, even walnut shells—just keep in mind that the smaller the pieces making up the mulch, the faster it will need refreshing. Leaf mold, for example, will deteriorate very quickly and can be laid thickly, but one to three inches of bark mulches will do.
To overwinter delicate perennials, Kristin suggests a cover of evergreen boughs for protection against the elements. Don't ever layer mulch over plant crowns, or they won't grow properly come spring. For newly established plants, surround their roots with mulch after the ground freezes for the first time: this prevents them from heaving during the thawing/freezing cycles over the course of winter.
For trees, never let the mulch touch the trunk; leave about three inches of space all around. Those "mulch volcanoes" that many gardeners produce can cause disease and basal rot.
Making leaf mold
Unfortunately, if you don't have leaf mold on hand, the process takes too long to prepare for this season. But with very little effort you can be laying down a free, moisture-rich layer next year. Pile up the leaves you've raked from your lawn in a little-used corner of the yard, and let the microbes do their thing. To speed up the process, run the lawn mower over the pile to break it up and keep the area wet. The mold is ready to use when it appears soft and crumbly.
Once you've prepared your flowerbeds, sit back and let the mulch do the work of enriching the soil for next spring and keeping your plants safe.

By what I understand, Cinnamon and it's forked components (like 'muffin' for instance) is going to do a bit of both. It has to follow the changes in Gnome/gnome-shell/mutter because Cinnamon/muffin is compiled against Gnome 3 so any future changes in Gnome 3 have to be to be taken into account. Same for 'gnome-shell'/mutter. Obvious changes/improvements in code especially as these changes relate directly to Gnome 3 would have to go into Cinnamon/muffin as well. Once core changes are made then new versions of Cinnamon and it's components can be built.randomizer wrote:Forgive me for asking as it may have already been asked, but how closely will Cinnamon and its forked components track changes in GNOME/GNOME Shell/Mutter from now on? Is it going to go well off on its own direction or run alongside its upstream project?
In a way this is an extension or the next step of what Mint has already done with past versions of their Main Edition and not that much different from what Ubuntu has been doing since the beginning since Ubuntu began as a fork of Debian. Ubuntu still has to track the latest changes to Debian (snapshot of the 'unstable' branch I believe) for their next version. Again, this is just my understanding of the situation.

These days the back-story of a game can have much to do with how much you enjoy or avoid a title. Look at Lost Planet: solid mechanics and play, but it was hard to get past the low quality of the voice acting and story.The Halo series has a dedicated following that gets more information about the world the game takes place in by reading the novels based on the game; it's not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
To help get gamers excited about the upcoming game Mass Effect, Bioware is set to release a prequel novel fleshing out the story and characters. From the press release:
In MASS EFFECT: REVELATION, commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station; smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can't trust and pursued by an assassin he can't escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy.
Del Rey editor Keith Clayton says "We're excited to be working on original MASS EFFECT novels with BioWare, whose track record of successful and high-quality video games speaks for itself. And between Drew's close involvement with the MASS EFFECT IP and his ability to tell an engaging story, the novels will draw fans even further into the rich world of MASS EFFECT."
It's a great idea. If the story and writing are even passable this could be a good way to allow gamers to feel connected to the story even before the game ships, and could ratchet up anticipation for the title. If I like the characters that will be in the game before I play it, I'll definitely be more invested in what happens. It's also not a bad alternative revenue stream for the company.
Anything to get more people putting strong stories in their games. I may give this a read when it's released.

In my office (day job, I mean) there are at least 3 employees who immediately print EVERY email as soon as they receive it, and only then read it to determine what to do with it. If they email out a joke to 20 people, and 10 of them email back "Ha!" or "that was funny!" they print out all ten one-liner emails individually, read the printouts, then throw them away. The crazy thing is that two of these individuals don't have a printer at their desk, so they print these messages to a networked printer and have to walk across the office to retrieve the printouts (or more often, leave them sitting there until someone else delivers the printouts).What was that joke about, "Get me a hard copy of the internet, please?"
Quote from: SunDummy on November 08, 2011, 11:34:19 AMI suspect that the packaging for ipods, etc. (and the materials to make them) is not greater than the materials for cds, LPs, etc. but I could be wrong....There is no contest between, say, a CD digipack in a light wrap vs. virtually any hard plastic encased, plastic insert nestled iPod. Even the little ear buds are way overdone in terms of packaging. Then there's the retail floorspace now dedicated to the marketing of such things. Now, as CD/DVD sales move online, more packaging is required and more transportation infrastructure and energy is used in the music retail industry equivalent of the single occupancy vehicle multiple trip model!
I suspect that the packaging for ipods, etc. (and the materials to make them) is not greater than the materials for cds, LPs, etc. but I could be wrong.
I have one ipod, and thousands of CDs. Is downloading perfectly green? Hell no, but I do think it's greener than shipping/making CDs, LPs, etc. Manufacturing, shipping, and displaying a CD + me driving to the store to get it, vs. a download: seems clear.

Change management for Office 365 clients
We're making some changes to the update channels for Microsoft 365 Apps, including adding a new update channel (Monthly Enterprise Channel) and changing the names of the existing update channels. To learn more, read this article.
The client applications that are included with Office 365 (and Microsoft 365) are released regularly with updates that provide new features and functionality together with security and other updates. Windows 10 has also adopted this servicing model and is also releasing new functionality regularly. As an IT Professional, you need to understand this servicing model and how you can manage the releases while your organization takes advantage of the new functionality.
This article gives you an overview of this servicing model, and helps you understand the release channels and cadence, and how to effectively manage releases of the Office 365 client applications for your organization.
In this article:
Download this information as a poster in Visio or PDF format. (The poster is only available in English.)
A Servicing Model for Updates
Both Windows 10 and Office 365 have adopted the servicing model for client updates. This means that new features, non-security updates, and security updates are released regularly, so your users can have the latest functionality and improvements. The servicing model also includes time for enterprise organizations to test and validate releases before adopting them.
What is the Servicing Model?
In a traditional development model it can take months of planning, development, and testing before a large release is ready. Traditional deployments take enterprises years to plan, evaluate test, pilot, and deploy and then maintain the entire environment.
The following illustration shows a traditional release model:
The following illustration shows a traditional deployment model:
In a servicing model, new features and innovations can be developed and released in a quicker cadence, so that customers are always seeing improvements. Because development has changed, so does the deployment process for an enterprise organization. Quicker releases of features means that you can evaluate, pilot, and deploy different sets of features at the same time.
The following illustration shows releases in a servicing world:
The following illustration shows deployment in a servicing world:
What's in it for Enterprise Organizations?
You want up-to-date features, but you also want the control and support you need to run your business. With the variety of release programs for Windows 10 and Office 365, you can evaluate new features, pilot them with specific groups in your organization, and then deploy them more broadly to your organization. You can also keep specialized devices on a long-term build if you need to limit changes.
Use the update option that's right for your devices and your business needs. We recommend the following:
|Device type
|Update option
|iOS or Android devices receive regular updates from their respective app stores. Devices running the Office Mobile apps automatically receive regular updates from the Microsoft Store.
For Windows 10 devices, use Semi-Annual Channel to get regular updates with the latest features.
|To get regular updates with the latest features, use Semi-Annual Channel for Windows 10 and Monthly Channel for Office 365.
Have custom add-ins? Choose Semi-Annual Channel for Office 365, so you have time to test. For Windows 10, use Semi-Annual Channel with a targeted group of devices before deploying broadly.
|To limit changes, use Long-Term Servicing Channel for Windows 10. If Office is needed, use Office Professional Plus 2016 (using MSI files).
Examples of specialized devices: PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, or ATMs.
Focus on your business, not managing the software.
The following table explains ways you can focus on your business, not managing the software, with the Office 365 client applications.
|Stay up to date
|Regular updates mean your users' phones, tablets, and desktops stay up to date with the latest fixes.
|Mix and match programs
|Follow your business needs - not all systems need to follow the same deployment model. You can even use different models for Windows and Office on the same devices.
|Save on management
|Allow automatic updates to Semi-Annual Channel, for Windows 10 and Office 365, instead of managing the software packages yourself.
|Stay in the loop
|See what's coming in the next releases and find out what security updates have been included by reviewing communications from Microsoft.
|Manage risk
|To test critical line-of-business applications, use Semi-Annual Channel or Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) for Office 365. For Windows 10, use Semi-Annual Channel with a targeted group of devices before deploying broadly.
|Save on development
|First, check the marketplace - others may have a solution that works. If you need custom development, use best practices to ensure add-ins work after updates.
Release Options
You need to understand the different release options for Windows 10 and the Office 365 client applications so you can choose the right options for your business. You decide what works and choose the combinations of releases to support for your organization. This section provides an overview and helps you choose.
Summary of Release Options
Use the following table to choose the right release option for your business needs:
Up to date innovation
Have time to evaluate
Security, always
|Get the latest features right away. Choose Semi-Annual Channel for Windows 10 and Monthly Channel for Office 365.
|Test with your existing systems. Choose Semi-Annual Channel or Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) for Office 365. For Windows 10, use Semi-Annual Channel with a targeted group of devices before deploying broadly.
|You'll always get the latest security updates, no waiting, whichever channel you choose.
Default channels for client applications
Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (previously named Office 365 ProPlus) includes the following Office applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, Skype for Business, and Publisher. The subscription versions of the Project and Visio desktop apps also follow this release model.
The following illustration shows these sets of client applications.
By default, the client applications for Office 365 are set to these channel releases:
Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise is set to use Semi-Annual Channel.
Subscription versions of the Project and Visio desktop apps are set to use Monthly Channel.
But you can determine which channel is used for your client applications, according to your business needs.
For more information about the channels for Office 365 client applications, see Overview of update channels.
Which Release Channel?
This table shows the release channels for Windows 10 and Office 365 clients.
|Release Channels
|Available for Office 365 client?
|Available for Windows 10?
|Windows Insider Preview lets you preview features and give feedback.
|Monthly Channel gives your users the latest released features. It's usually best for users who don't have other apps, add-ins, or macros that need to be extensively tested with Office. It's also useful for some test systems or pilot programs.
|Semi-Annual Channel for Windows 10 gives your users the latest released features. Ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users, such as developers, who need to work with the latest features immediately.
|Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) gives you time to check out the features and test your customizations or processes.
|Semi-Annual Channel for Office 365 gives you several months lead-time before you get the latest features. It's usually best for users that have line-of-business applications, add-ins, or macros that are business critical.
|Office Professional Plus 2016 client installs (using MSI files) is good for scenarios where maximum control is required and the device has limited internet access.
|Long-Term Servicing Channel is intended for specialized devices, where limiting changes to the operating system is of prime importance. For example, PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, or ATMs.
The release channels at the top of the table provide the freshest features, those at the bottom provide the most administrative control. Freshness indicates rapid access to new features and the ability to provide feedback to Microsoft. You'll sacrifice features for extra control - use the most controlled options for specialized devices, such as devices used on factory floors, for air traffic control, or in emergency rooms. Semi-Annual Channel for Office 365 offers a balance between new features and control.
Release Cadences
It is important to keep both Windows and your Office clients up to date. Office 365 and Windows 10 have aligned release cadences to make this easier. Both will have regular security updates and will have new features releasing twice per year. For specialized devices running Windows 10, there is a long-term servicing channel available which provides regular security updates but only provides new features every few years.
Windows 10 Release Cadence
Windows 10 has three types of releases:
Windows Insider Preview Join the Windows Insider program to evaluate and provide feedback on pre-release features, and perform application compatibility validation testing. New features are released frequently.
Semi-Annual Channel After new features have been tested through the Windows Insider program, they are released along with bug fixes and security patches as the Semi-Annual Channel. A new Semi-Annual Channel is released twice a year, around March and September, and is supported for 18 months. Start by deploying to a targeted group of devices that represent the broader organization.
Approximately 4 months after a Semi-Annual Channel release, Microsoft will announce broad deployment readiness, indicating that Microsoft, independent software vendors (ISVs), partners, and customers believe that the release is ready for broad deployment. But, organizations can begin broad deployment whenever they're ready.
Long-Term Servicing Channel This channel provides a supported OS platform for 10 years. Enterprises can choose to move to a new release or stay where they are at and skip to the next one. The Long-Term Servicing Channel is intended for specialized devices, such as PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, or ATMs. If Office is needed, use Office Professional Plus 2016 with these specialized devices.
The following illustration shows the relationships between these releases for Windows 10.
Read Overview of Windows as a service for more information.
Office 365 Client Release Cadence
Office 365 clients have the following types of releases:
Monthly Channel New features, security updates, and fixes are released to Monthly Channel approximately every month.
Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) You can validate this release for four months before it becomes a Semi-Annual Channel release. New features are included only at the beginning of a release, in March and September. This channel is refreshed with non-security updates and security updates every month.
Semi-Annual Channel The Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) is rolled up and released as the Semi-Annual Channel every 6 months, in January and July. No new features are added until the next Semi-Annual Channel, although security updates will continue to be released. Each Semi-Annual Channel feature release is supported for an additional 14 months. This is the default channel for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
Read Overview of update channels for more information.
The following illustration shows the relationships between these releases for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
Office Mobile Apps
Office Mobile Apps for iOS and Android have regular releases available through their respective app stores. Office Mobile Apps for Windows have regular releases available through the Microsoft Store.
Office Professional Plus 2016 client installs
Security updates are made available for the Office clients that you install by using .MSI files as part of the Office Volume Licensing program. New features are not delivered outside of full product releases. Use, if Office is needed, for specialized devices on the Long-Term Servicing Channel of Windows 10.
Deployment tools
The following table lists the deployment tools that can be used for Windows 10 and the Office 365 client applications:
|Supported for Windows 10?
|Supported for Office 365 clients?
|Windows Update for Business
|Windows Server Update Services
|Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
|Microsoft InTune
|3rd party software deployment tools
Types of Changes
There are several types of changes that are made to Office 365 on a regular basis. The communication channels for those changes, and the actions that you might have to take for them will vary, depending on the type of change.
This section explains the types of changes you can expect, when to expect changes, and what you need to do to be prepared for changes in Office 365.
Types of Changes for the Office 365 Service and Client Applications
Not all changes have the same impact on your users or require action. Some are planned and some unplanned by their nature (non-security updates and security updates aren't usually planned in advance). Depending on the type of change, the communication channel also varies. The following table lists the types of changes you can expect for the Office 365 service and client applications.
Non-security updates
|Type of change
|Feature updates
New features or applications
Deprecated features
|Client hotfixes for issues
|Security patches
|Advance notice?
|30 days notice for changes that require action
|No, these are included in the monthly build for all channels
|No, these are included in the monthly build for all channels

|Release information for updates to Microsoft 365 Apps
|Security bulletin or CVE
|Requires tenant admin action?
|What kind of action?
|Change settings
Communicate changes to users
Validate customizations
|Change admin settings
|Requires testing?
|Rarely - check business critical Add-ins
|Sometimes - testing the fix against processes or customizations
|Examples of changes
|Feature updates: PowerPoint - simpler process for embedding videos
New features or applications: Skype for Business
|Hotfixes based on customer reported bugs
Guidelines for managing change when using Office Add-ins:
We recommend that customers use Monthly Channel to get the latest feature updates. If you have Office customizations or Add-ins deployed, you can use Semi-Annual Channel, which allows you to wait for feature updates to Office until you have had the chance to test and fix your customizations. To test and fix your customizations before those features updates are applied to Semi-Annual Channel, use Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted). Use the Office Telemetry Dashboard to check Add-ins for compatibility. For more information, see Compatibility and telemetry in Office.
If your developers built the Office Add-in, we suggest they update the code and redeploy the custom Office Add-in.
If you built your customization using VBA, VSTO, or COM, consider rebuilding your customization as an Office Add-in, or check the Office Store to see if there is a 3rd-party Add-in that provides similar functionality.
Consider decommissioning Office Add-in that are no longer used or have low utilization.
More information about Office Add-ins.
Tips for Testing
For functionality changes, you should test against your add-ins and other customizations to see if you need to update them. Use these tips for testing:
Don't wait - have a pilot team use Monthly Channel to start evaluating new features. Use Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) if you need a longer lead time for testing.
Use an Azure virtual environment to test against your customizations or processes.
Align your work with the release schedule - schedule testing passes monthly.
Roles and Responsibilities
Responsibility for managing change is shared between Microsoft and you as the admin of your Office 365 tenancy. The balance of responsibility is different for an online service than it is for an on-premises server or client.
Understand the roles both Microsoft and you need to play before, during, and after a change occurs to the service.
Review what's included in each release on the Release information for updates to Microsoft 365 Apps page.
Balance of Responsibility
In a service offering, the balance of responsibility for things such as hardware maintenance and security updates shifts to the service provider (Microsoft) instead of the customer (you). However, you still need to ensure that custom software continues to function as expected when updates are rolled out.
For on-premises products, your organization takes on most of the responsibility for managing change.
Your responsibility for change management is based on the type of service. The following table summarizes the balance of responsibility for both Microsoft and the customer for online services and on-premises software.
|Office 365 service
|Office 365 clients
|On-premises clients and servers
|Provide new functionality
|Test new features for quality assurance
|Communicate about new features
|Integrate custom software
|Apply security updates
|Maintain system software
|Maintain hardware
Microsoft's Role and Your Role
Microsoft and you both play a role in managing change for Office 365 before, during, and after a change.
Before a change
Microsoft's role
Set expectations for service changes.
Notify customers 30 days in advance for changes that require administrator action.
Publish majority of new features and updates on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.
Customer's role
Understand what to expect for changes and communications.
Read Message Center, Microsoft 365 Roadmap and Microsoft 365 blog regularly.
Set up pilot teams to preview new functionality using Monthly Channel.
Review and update internal change management processes.
Understand the Office 365 system requirements and check compliance.
During a change
Microsoft's role
Roll change out to customers.
Specifically for Office 365 clients: release a new Monthly Channel approximately each month and new security and non-security updates, if needed, for Semi-Annual Channel.
Monitor telemetry and support escalations for any unexpected issues.
Customer's role
Check Message Center and review the additional information link.
Take any action required (if applicable) and test any add-ins.
If using an internal share for updates, download the latest builds and upload to your share.
If a break/fix scenario is experienced, create a Support Request.
After a change
Microsoft's role
Listen to customer feedback to improve rollout of future changes.
Listen to feedback on the Office 365 area of the Microsoft Tech Community and in the admin feedback tool.
Update Microsoft 365 Roadmap statuses and add new features.
Customer's role
Work with people in your organization to adopt the change (get help on Microsoft FastTrack).
Review change management processes and bottlenecks for opportunities to streamline, and use more Microsoft resources.
Provide general feedback on the Office 365 area of the Microsoft Tech Community and specific feedback in the admin feedback tool.
Train users to provide app specific feedback using the Smile button in Office apps.
Manage Update Deployments
You choose when and how updates are deployed to your organization by configuring:
Which channel to use. This controls how often updates are available.
Which update method to use (automatic or manual). This controls how your client computers get the updates.
How to Apply Updates
You can decide how updates are deployed to your users' computers. You can allow the client computers to automatically receive updates over the internet or from an on-premises location. Alternatively, you might want to have more control by packaging the updates yourself and manually delivering them to client computers over your network.
Methods for applying Office updates to client computers
The following table explains three methods you can use to apply Office updates to client computers.
|From the internet
|From an on-premises location
|Microsoft makes an updated build available on the internet. The client computers automatically install the updates when they are available.
|An administrator downloads the updated build to an on-premises location. The client computers automatically install the updates when they are available.
The following illustration shows these methods:
Do you need to control the delivery of updates?
To decide which method to use, consider the following scenarios:
Allow automatic updates for...Users or computers that are primarily for productivity and don't use customizations or integrated solutions.
Recommended Channel: Monthly Channel
Use manual delivery of updates for...Users or computers that rely on customizations or integrated solutions that work with the Office 365 clients.
Recommended Channel: Semi-Annual Channel. Validate by using Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted).
Managed or un-managed computers?
Allow automatic updates from the internet for...Consumers and small businesses without an IT department.
Deploy from an on-premises location when...You want to control when updates are pushed out to your organization's computers.
How to configure channels and update methods
Use the following methods to configure which channels are used by which client computers and how those clients computers are updated:
Office Deployment Tool
Group Policy - for centralized administration of domain-joined computers.

I usually try to keep things very upbeat on my blog, but today I am just going to spit all this out for fear that if I don't, it will explode. That just wouldn't be pretty, would it? Here goes…
I want… To not be stressed. I stress about everything. It can't be good for me, right?
I want… To be able to take a real vacation with hubby. Just the two of us. For more than one day. (note to self: buy winning lottery ticket tonight)
I want… For it to be fall. Seriously, I'm done with this awful heat and humidity.
I want… To enjoy the beaches that we live so close too. Other than my Sunday morning run over the causeway bridge, the closest I've gotten to the beach was a survey I did for work the other day . It looked so awesome. I want to feel the sand between my toes. How sad is it that we live 7 minutes from the beach and never go?
I want… To live in a drama-free world. Drama is not necessary and doesn't get anyone anywhere.
I want… To not have to work quite so hard, maybe just for a little bit. It's not in my genes to NOT work, but it sure would be nice to just sit back and not worry about how everything will get done for a bit.
I want… To sleep a full 8 hours. Please, Blue and Ozzie, can you maybe just let that happen every once in awhile? Mommy loves you, but she needs her sleep.
I want… To find the off-switch for my brain. It does not need to always be on, especially at night.
I want… To not worry. I worry about everything. Somehow things still work out, but the energy I exert worrying is exhausting.
I want… To feel like all the hard work we are doing will pay off one day. And I'm talking work, not weight loss. We bust our butts at work, please tell me one day we will reap the rewards of it.
I want… To wake up in the morning without anxiety. I had anxiety a several years ago and finally got it under control. I feel like it's slowly creeping back in… I know stress brings it on, so I need to control that stress to get rid of the anxiety. The thought of anxiety makes me more anxious.
That's better… Seriously, I'm not sure why everything has to seem so hard sometimes. This is why I so strongly focus on myself when I'm not working. I NEED to run, otherwise it's likely I would need an anti-depressant. I NEED to take care of myself. I NEED to do things that I enjoy on my off-time. I NEED to not be negative because that won't get me anywhere.
Thank you for listening to my rambling… What would you like to get off your chest today? I am all ears since you listened to me!

For Worldwide Release: September 2012
Release Number: 300PR11
Beginning second quarter 2013, Caterpillar will offer a water delivery and control system for the bare chassis configuration of its 777G Off-Highway Truck. An optional attachment, the Cat® Water Delivery System (WDS), when ordered, includes a unique cab configuration with factory-installed controls, programmable dash display and torque converter pump drive. The bare chassis configuration can also be ordered without WDS, which then negates the special cab, controls, display and pump drive.
The Cat water delivery system uses a self-contained hydraulic system that controls spray patterns and allows for a consistent spray width regardless of engine rpm. The system is capable of spraying up to 1200 gal (3785L) per minute at speeds ranging from 3 to 25 mph (5 to 40 kph).
System controls within the unique cab include a programmable display monitor, keypad and water cannon joystick that can be customized with a keypad that is backlit for nighttime operation. System functionality includes automatic shutoff when the water tank is empty, soft pump startup and shutdown, self-cleaning spray heads, customizable spray patterns, automatic start and stop based on ground speed, side spray shutoff for on-coming traffic and remote tank fill controls. Many of these functions are aligned with mine safety initiatives collected through voice of customer activities.
Preliminary field follow data point to water savings obtained by minimizing overlap, fuel savings and productivity improvements due to fewer tank fills, reduced haul road maintenance and less tire wear.
Parts and service support is available through the worldwide network of Cat Dealers.

Wildfire centers in Nevada, Utah to consolidate
RENO (AP) — Wildfire coordination centers in Reno and Salt Lake City will merge and operate out of a new facility in Utah.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say consolidation of the Eastern Great Basin center in Salt Lake City and the Western Great Basin center in Reno is designed to save money and improve response time to wildfires.
Plans call for the new Great Basin Geographic Area Coordination Center to open in Salt Lake City in April.
The centers have been charged with getting resources to wildfires and other hazardous incidents in Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho, and small portions of California, Wyoming and Arizona.
BLM spokesman Chris Rose says the consolidation will save $305,000 a year and affect up to five employees in Reno, who will be offered positions at the new center.
Participating entities include the BLM, Forest Service, National Park Service and various state agencies.

Before you read further, please take this poll:
It's not a joke poll.
I assume that all of you, if you are sane, opted for (1) instead of (2).
Except if you are black.
Yes, black Americans would rather be dead than eat Ramen noodle!
Rep. Gwen Moore and the dreaded Ramen noodle
That's according to black Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Wisconsin). In a speech in 2011 during Congressional hearings to defund the abortion mill Planned Parenthood, pretending to speak for all black Americans, Rep. Moore said this:
"I just want to tell you what it's like not to have Planned Parenthood … You have to give your kids Ramen noodles at the end of the month to fill up their little bellies so they won't cry. You have to give them mayonnaise sandwiches. They get very few fruits and vegetables, because they're expensive."
Yes, the congresswoman said it'd be better for black babies to be killed — to be suctioned out, scraped, chemically poisoned, suffocated to death or, if Obama has his way, left to die if they managed to survive a botched late-term abortion — than for them to be born and have to eat Ramen noodles at the end of each month because their single moms have run out of welfare cash by then.
Black lives are so cheap and meaningless, even Ramen noodles have more value.
See and hear it for yourself (pay attention esp. beginning at the 2:05 mark):
61-year-old Gwen Moore has been "serving" Wisconsin's 4th congressional district for seven years, since 2005. Before that she had "served" in Wisconsin's state legislature (assembly and senate) for 16 years.
Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to abort their children. In 2004, the rates of abortion by ethnicity in the U.S. were 50 abortions per 1,000 black women, 28 abortions per 1,000 Hispanic women, and 11 abortions per 1,000 white women.
Rush Limbaugh is right. Roe v. Wade had "made us insensitive to killing."

Article content
Production on the Dallas TV revamp is set to resume on Tuesday, four days after the death of actor Larry Hagman.
The veteran star, who portrayed oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, had been working with the cast and crew on the second season of the updated show when he passed away on Friday following a battle with cancer.
Filming was halted to mark Hagman's death, and executives told WENN the show's writing team would have to alter the planned storyline in the aftermath of the tragedy. Viewers had seen Hagman's character vowing to launch a titanic battle for control of the family's business empire at the close of the debut season, which aired earlier this year.
However, cameras are expected to begin rolling again this week as the late star's castmates return to work, and according to E! News, Hagman will feature in at least the first five episodes of the new season.
Meanwhile, Hagman will be remembered at two private memorial services in Texas and in California this week.
His manager, John Castonia, reveals the actor's family will hold a pair of ceremonies for friends and relatives before his body is cremated. His son Preston plans to spread his dad's ashes all over the world, as per his late father's wishes, according to ETonline.com.

I like being the girl.
What do I mean?
I like that I am the girl. Even with friends- I like it when a guy opens the door for me. I like that kind of protective look over the shoulder when we're milling through the subway station through crowds- when a guy checks to make sure I'm still with him. I like it when he gestures for me to go first, or when he stands when I'm coming back to the table, or when he helps me down from somewhere high. I like when he walks between me and traffic, "'cause that's just the way I was raised" and I like that he waits for me to order first.
Maybe I sound silly saying these things, but recently I have been hyper aware of the differences between men and women, and particularly how I behave as a woman, and what I expect from myself and the women and men around me. It's not that I expect a man to open the door for me everywhere we go, but I enjoy it when it happens. And I hope that he'll let me open a door for him once in a while. I don't feel frail and incapable of finding my way around, but I like when instinctively a man is protective of me, whatever role I play in his life. Is that weird?
And in a less platonic way, there are other things I like about being a woman. I like being escorted- when the man leads- whether it be dancing, walking, whatever- I like that. And I guess that can apply to a friendship- NOTE TO ALL MEN: When dancing LEAD- just do it, even if you have NO idea what you're doing! Ok sorry... that's just one of those things. But more specifically, when there is "more" involved... it's good to be led. It is nice when contact is kept- when he ushers you into a room with his hand on the small of your back (ahh, that's a killer), or he insists on opening the door even though you're holding it and he does that annoying thing where he holds it open above you and waits for you to let go and walk under and THEN he walks. Not that that should happen all the time, but you get me.
I don't know- there are lots more things. I like being the she- it seems like a good thing. It's fun, and it's nice, and it seems natural most times.
So thanks to the men who make me... ahem... glad to be a woman.
[yeah, i actually did just type that. Just go with it... trust me. hehe.]
