Please sit down before you read this, because I have something to confess.
I don't like shopping.
I know! Me not loving shopping? Pick your jaw off the keyboard and let me clarify. It's holiday shopping I'm not fond of.
No, it's not the throngs of crowds or the overeager sales people. And nope, despite what Mom says, I'm not agoraphobic. It's the holiday stress that kicks in every year right around Labor Day. The pressure to find the perfect gift takes all the joy out of the season.
Right in the middle of a present-perfect panic attack, a copy of Adventurer's Vault landed on my desk. Eager to take my mind off how many attaché cases and exfoliators for men my dad really needs, I spent a little time flipping through the pages.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear? Pages of weapons, and wands, and adventuring gear! On elephants, griffons, and celestial mares! How about a mask of terror or a symbol of censure?
"Yes!" I proclaimed as I ducked out of sight. "I must go shopping! To the mall! Tonight!"
"Hold on, Sparky," Scott interrupted. "You know those items don't really exist, right?"
Clearly Scott and I don't shop at the same places. I happen to have several pairs of magic boots in my closet right now.
But yes, Mr. Buzzkill has a point. It might prove difficult to come across some of these fine gift items. I can't exactly hit up my local D&D-Mart, can I? Perhaps I could enlist the help of a friend. What exactly does Tabitha do all week when we're not playing D&D anyway? I make a call to find out.
Tabitha: "It's not Wednesday. What do you want?"
Me: "Nice to talk to you too, Tabs. I need your help."
Tabitha: "I'm pretty busy here. I've got about sixteen orc minions hot on my heels and 99% of my party is lying in a ditch somewhere."
Me: "I know, I know, but it's really important. I'm on a deadline. I … uh … apparently needed to get something done two days ago but, umm … I thought I had until next week. Get my drift?"
Tabitha: "Is this another passive aggressive dig at your editor? You know, the more you do that, the worse it is out here for me."
Me: "Right, right. So here's the deal. I want to get some gifts for my friends, but I don't have access to any of the items in Adventurer's Vault. Can you hook me up?"
Tabitha: "What's in it for me?"
Me: "Seriously? There has to be something in it for you? You can't just do me a favor? I created you!"
Tabitha: "I'll take 10% of whatever you spend. Plus mileage."
Me: "Ridiculous! It's the holidays! Where's your good will?"
Saucy Wench: "Shops are crowded here too, lady. And we don't have the benefit of that internet thing you humans are so fond of. You ever try fighting your way through a jam-packed department shoppe with a 6-foot tail?"
Me: "No, but I've survived Nordstrom Rack at the crack of dawn on Black Friday. So bite it, Horn Head."
Selfish Turd: "Who you calling Horn Head, Pin Head?"
Me: "Watch it. Did you know it only takes a few minutes to create a new character with the Character Builder? It's fun too."
Pointy-toothed Ingrate: "You wouldn't."
Me: "Say yes, Tabitha."
Ungrateful Wretch: "Story of my life. Humans are always making bargains to increase their power. Here's a deal for you. I've got friends too, but … yawn … who needs another arm slot item?"
Me: "You do! You actually used a healing surge the other day! Use protection, young lady!"
Skanky-tailed Buttface: "I'll do a little shopping for you if you do the same for me. Legend has it you humans have your own book of enchanted gifts. I want it."
Me: "What on Earth are you talking about?"
Tabitha: "Skymall."
Me: "Skymall?"
Tabitha: "Order now and I won't need to make payments for 90 days. We should be through this adventure by then. Maybe."
Me: "I wouldn't be so sure. But you've got yourself a deal."
Let the consumerism begin!
For Adam (The Chronically Sniffled)
You'd think Adam spent all of his time in airplane bathrooms and drinking out of public water fountains for the number of germs he seems to be toting around. And like all good sick people, he seldom has the sense to stay in bed. What fun is there in staying home when you can stand in your friends' cubicles lamenting (not to mention sharing) your latest illness. I feel for you, my friend, I do. But you've got the immune system of a gnat.
Fear not, my infected friend, I've got a belt of vitality with your name on it. They don't come cheap, but it's probably less than you're dishing out for insurance co-pays. Plus, I think you're worth it. Wear this magical band and you'll double your immune system's potency. And it's guaranteed to spiff up any outfit.
For Scott (The … Wait. What was I Saying?)
Attention, Mr. Rouse, attention! Will you please meet your party in the catacombs? While Adam may possess the immune system of a gnat, Scott has the attention span of one. Right in the middle of a really good story, he'll short-circuit and either move on to a different really good story or fall into a deep, meditative state. Focus, Scotty! Eye of the Trihorn!
I can't wait for Scott to unwrap his brand new cognizance ring. Not only will his mind and spirit flourish, but he'll gain a +5 bonus on saving throws against updating your Facebook status on your iPhone. At least we'll have our friend back and finally hear what happened that "one Halloween in 1978."
For Marty (The Court Jester)
Marty makes an excellent bard because when he sings a majestic word, he really belts it out. Sometimes in the likeness of Bea Arthur. Additionally, his freakishly large mental capacity for D&D nuances often rivals that of New DM's, and he's a veritable font of random knowledge. Do you know what the scientific term for "speaking in tongues" is? Marty does. Glossologia. For Marty, I found the face-stealing ring, which will prove useful for his other passion -- acting. Marty's a busy guy with work, school, and three different D&D campaigns running simultaneously, so he seldom has time to audition. This is a huge loss to audiences everywhere. With this enchanting accessory, Marty can skip those tedious rehearsals and instantly take on the exact appearance of another creature. See you at the wrap party, suckers!
For Sara (The Menacing Mom)
Sara doesn't just play a dragonborn paladin in D&D; she plays one in real life. She skates on a roller derby team, teaches self-defense, and is exactly the kind of person you want to stand behind when your friends read about how you outed their pesky ailments in a digital magazine column.
People are afraid of Sara. In reality, she's charming and sweet and utterly amused by this reputation she's cultivated. Don't get me wrong. If pressed, she will playfully put you in a headlock and sweetly tell you where to go. Personally, I adore her, but I can also see how some people (with the initials H.R.) might misconstrue her actions. For her protection, I offer a choker for the choker. The peacemaker's periapt is more than a just a pretty piece of jewelry. This amulet will enhance Sara's diplomacy so even the lamest layman can appreciate charms. (And maybe avoid a headlock if they're lucky.)
For Kieren (The Office Enforcer)
You know those rulebooks you're referencing? That adventure you're running? Those minis you're painting? You can thank Kierin for them. (Thanks Kierin!) As Brand Manager for Product Development, he's responsible for getting all these fine products into the marketplace. No, he's not actually sitting at a desk sculpting minis and writing campaigns, but he does work with those who do. Closely. On an hourly basis. It ain't easy. Everyone's got an opinion, but only Kierin has the budget. If anyone needs a shield of shared suffering, it's this guy. He's rubber, you're glue, and when he says "feel my pain," he'll mean it.
For New DM (The Guy Who Pretty Much Does Have Everything)
Even with access to all the goodness within Adventurer's Vault, New DM proves hard to buy for. He could probably benefit from a headband of insight, which would allow him the ability to see through our lies. But our dungeon mastermind appears to already have one, as evident from conversations like this:
New DM: "Did you use an action point already?"
Anonymous Player: "Nope. Still got one."
New DM: "Really? Haven't used it?"
Anonymous Player: "Honest, New DM, it's still sitting right here."
New DM: "That so? Could have sworn it was you who spent an action point three weeks ago to reroll your flaming sphere attack against the orc chieftain.
Anonymous Player (OK … Me): "You think?"
New DM: "You rolled a 13 versus Reflex the first time, 19 the second time. It was 4:37 PM. About 53 degrees outside. You had on a green sweater."
Sheepish Me: "Well, if you say so."
Besides, now that he's cut his hair, I can't really see New DM wearing a headband.
Truthfully, the Adventurer's Vault is loaded with gift ideas for New DM. Maybe a rod of mindbending so we quit second guessing him. Or a skeleton key so we'll always be able to get into our conference room on game days, even when it's double booked.
But I pick out a drum of panic -- not just because it will instill fear in all of our insubordinate little hearts. He can use it when he hosts his next Rock Band weekend retreat.
And Tabitha, my bitter, rebellious little hellion. The perfect gift for her would probably be time-out for bad behavior. Instead, I get her what she's always wanted -- the ability to cast two daily spells a day courtesy of salve of power. Plus the salve sounds like it would be good for her skin.
For Bjorn (The Errant Party Member)
See a dark, vacant corner of a dungeon? Bjorn does, and he's going to check it out. Alone. I say let him, but I'm often overruled by the party. He's occasionally good for something, I guess. If anyone needs one of those child safety harnesses disguised as a cuddly stuffed animal backpack, it's Bjorn. I'd get him one, too, but no one is willing to hold the other end of the leash. Instead, I get the wandering dwarf a GPS Personal Location Finder. Pocket-sized and personal, Bjorn will always know where home base is with the simple press of a button.
As an added measure of security, I think I'll stuff his stocking with the Identity Pal. This indestructible ID tag acts as a microchip, telling rescuers where to return him should he turn up lost. Again.
For Teemu (The Angry Perfectionist)
No one likes to fail a saving throw. Worse yet, no one likes it when Teemu fails a save. Eladrin are supposed to be graceful, elegant, and level-headed. But our patchouli-smelling trust-fund hippy always seems to have his Birkenstocks in a bunch. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for infernal wrath now and again, but my pal Teemu is in desperate need of a chakra realignment. For him, I choose the lovely Meditation Grotto of Sorrento. This the perfect place to cozy up to your Melora effigy and get your trance on.
And for when we're on the road, I'll stuff his stocking with a handy Heart Rate Ring. Not only could it easily pass as a manly war ring, this handsome accessory is the ultimate mood ring. Teemu will always have up-to-the-minute feedback on how hard the old ticker is tocking. Better yet, the rest of us will know when it's time to duck and cover.
For Anwar (The Do-Good bard on the Brink of a Breakdown)
You know those people who clog the makeover or amateur shrink shows on daytime television? Or maybe you have better things to do during the daytime than watch television. Whatever. These people on TV, they're always "taking care of others" and too busy to look in the mirror to notice their roots are showing and they've been wearing the same Keds for 18 years. And how are these altruistic souls rewarded for making the rest of us look bad? With bedroom makeovers and new wardrobes and month-long trips to Turks & Caicos for a little "me-time." Well, we can't afford to send Anwar on vacation! He's the only one in the party who can offer up some healing!
Fortunately, Skymall is chock full of goodies that promise to make healing quick and painless and give the overburdened Anwar a little time to relax under a nice oak tree with his lute. How about a Nano Wand Scanner to destroy toxins and germs with the simple swipe of the specially patented Nano-UV light? And for those pesky bumps and bruises we encounter on our journey, there's the Extreme Pain Relief Spray. Unlike those unreliable heal checks, lay your hands on this magic spray and kiss your sore ass bye-bye in 30 seconds flat.
All good for the first aid kit, but worthless if he can't get to us in time. That's why Anwar is also getting the Go Go Elite Scooter. With its ease of transport and agility through tight spaces, Anwar will be by our sides quicker than you can utter a majestic word.
For Freya (The Aggro Paladin with a Heart of Gold)
Freya is always willing to take one for the team. In fact, she insists on it. Unfortunately, running up into the face of evil often puts our beloved dragonborn on edge. Literally. Freya has charged into many battles and sadly lost a few with gravity, which have sent her tumbling into ravines, pits, and deserted dungeons. If anyone needs the Fire Escape Ladder, it's her. Portable and practical, what goes down can easily come back up.
When she's not down a well, Freya is especially fond of getting up in some old baddie's grill and wrapping them in a hot dragon breath embrace. To enhance her favorite racial power, I'll be slipping the Powerlung in her stocking. This clever handheld device will strengthen her lung muscles to increase her lung capacity and breath potency.
For Aaeon (The Trailblazing Genasi)
Poor Aaeon. He can't do a thing with that hair. And when's the last time this guy enjoyed a pint of Chubby Hubby. Hot-headed Aaeon deserves to chill out, so I'm giving him the patent pending Freo Skin Care System. This revolutionary skin care regime will help eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots, all with the cool touch of Cold Therapy Skin Care. He'll not only look years younger, he'll feel cooler than a newly hatched silver wyrmling.
For Oso de la Fez (The Inconspicuous, Unauthorized Familiar)
A circus-show refugee, Oso de la Fez appreciates his life on the road outside the big tent much more. You'd think the local merchants would be used to seeing familiars hanging out with their owners, but you'd be surprised by how many places Oso is not allowed to enter. That goes double for dungeon delving. When it comes to balancing on a big, rubber ball, Oso takes tops honors, but he's probably not quick enough to dodge an errant arrow. Too risky. Because of these things, he spends a lot of time outdoors and his fez, stylish as it is, doesn't do much to protect him from the elements.
The least I can do is outfit my best beast in this season's most fashionable warm-weather accessory: the Sock Monkey Hat & Mittens. Not just stylish, Oso will also benefit by traveling incognito. Who wants to hurt a monkey?
For Shelly (The Stage Mom)
She's a bit pushy, too overprotective, and is always pushing me to "take a nap," but she means well. Maybe her dice would heat up if her fingers weren't ice cold. You can't wear mittens while playing D&D (believe me, she's tried), but you can wear the Slanket. She'll be able to wrap herself in generous amounts of polyester fleece all while keeping her hands free to keep moving me away from the bad guys. For the iron-deficient human who isn't afraid of looking like the Kool-Aid man, the Slanket makes the ultimate gift. Hands down.
For New DM (The Unappreciated and Overanalyzed Know-It-All)
You mean the guy that's always telling me I can't use shield or I already used my daily or to take 13 points of damage? Sure, he's on my Christmas list too, and I know just the gift for him. He's getting Dungeon Master 4th Edition for Dummies. It's a no-brainer for a … ah, never mind. It is the holidays.
There. That was easy. Good thing the holidays are all about the spirit of giving, so no one will be disappointed by the fact they can't really see their gift. It's the thought that counts, right?
Regardless of who is on your gift list or whose list you might be on, Tabitha and I wish merry adventures to all, and to all a good fight.

Sources: Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment Report – May 2014, Regional and State Employment and Unemployment – May 2014
The national BLS "The Employment Situation — June 2014" report showed another surge in employment, adding 288,000 new jobs to the economy, the fifth straight month to show 200,000+ job gains. Economists are hopeful that this upswing will continue as we enter the third quarter.
Both regional and state unemployment rates saw little change in the United States metropolitan areas, according to the BLS' latest Metropolitan Employment and Unemployment report. In May, the national unemployment rate held at 6.3 percent after April's drop of 0.4 percent, proving to be 1.2 percentage points lower than it had been a year earlier. In fact, forty-nine states and the District of Columbia have seen unemployment rate decreases over the past year.

Johnstown —
For the elementary-age Sunday school students at Calvary United Methodist Church in Johnstown's West End, the Old Testament account of the Ark of the Covenant has taken on contemporary meaning.
The Rev. Don Brauer, pastor of the church located at 159 Chandler Ave., said with adults to operate power tools, the students undertook a project to build a full-size replica of the ark.
Brauer came up with the idea to use the project as an initiative to combine biblical instruction with learning skills that can be applied to everyday life.
"The congregation hasn't seen the ark yet because we are going to use it in the worship service at 10:45 a.m. Oct. 14," he said.
"We are keeping it covered just as the Israelites did when they moved it from place to place."
Brauer is eager to share a video of the ark's construction with the congregation.
"One of our leaders, Nate Pearce, documented the project on video, which we will show during the service," he said.
"We also will form a procession and carry the ark with wooden poles, just as the Israelites did."
According to the Bible, the ark was not to be touched by human hands.
The making of the ark allowed the students to use practical application skills such as mathematics, measuring, estimating, pattern making, analytical thinking and decision making.
Using the Bible as a guide, the class constructed the ark using dimensions contained in Scripture.
The ark was a wooden chest, overlaid with pure gold, measuring 3.75 feet long, 2.25 feet wide and 2.25 feet high.
Along with the ark, the class also made models of the objects that were placed inside.
"We will have models of two stone tablets representing the Ten Commandments, as well as an urn holding manna, and Aaron's staff that budded," Brauer said.
The students also duplicated the mercy seat (lid) and the golden cherubim with wings outstretched over the mercy seat.
Scripture said it was here, from between the cherubim, that God spoke to Moses, the representative of the people of Israel.
Brauer said he is grateful to the teachers – Nate Pearce, Tom Henze, David Alwine and Monica Pearce – for assisting in the initiative.
"From the project's inception, it shows the students how it follows through to the New Testament and how the ark relates to us today in a relationship with God."
The project was made possible with donations of money and materials from class leaders, and other adults in the church who volunteered their time and talents.

On Monday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill that would outlaw in his state what's known as "conversion therapy" for those younger than 18.
What the legislation does is prevent licensed therapists from attempting to turn gay minors into straight minors.
For someone who has indicated that he has designs on becoming the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 2016, what Christie did was an act of political courage … and apparently of personal conscience.
"Government should tread carefully into this area," Christie said in the signing note that accompanied his signature, "and I do so here reluctantly. However, I also believe that on the issues of medical treatment for children we must look to experts in the field to determine the relative risks and rewards,"
Among those risks Christie mentioned was depression and suicide.
"I believe that exposing children to these health risks without clear evidence of benefits that outweigh these serious risks is not appropriate."
So, should New York state follow New Jersey's lead and join California as the only states to enact this law?
Of course, it should.
Legislation proposed earlier this year by state Sens. Brad Hoylman and Michael Gianaris and Assemblywoman Deborah Glick would do just that, but it has been languishing in the Legislature.
"Conversion therapy is among the worst frauds in history and has been discredited by the American Psychological Association and other ... leading mental health organizations," Hoylman, who is gay, told the New York Daily News.
The fact is, being gay isn't a disease that needs to be cured.
Or, for that matter, can be "cured."
There's little evidence that sexual orientation change efforts (known as SOCE) work.
In 2007, an American Psychological Association task force did a study of the limited data available. It didn't have enough evidence to say conclusively that conversion therapy was harmful, but it did point out that the "results of scientifically valid research indicate that it is unlikely that individuals will be able to reduce same-sex attractions or increase other-sex sexual attractions through SOCE."

The American Red Cross is collecting and distributing cards that send words of encouragement, gratitude and cheer while military deployments and hospital stays may keep many of our nation's heroes away from their families this holiday season,
Through December 7, Americans can give something that means something by sending a card of thanks and support to members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families.
"It just takes a moment to sign a card to share your appreciation for the sacrifices members of the military community make," said local Red Cross officials. "You say thanks, we'll do the rest."
The Red Cross is inviting the public to send messages of thanks and holiday cheer until December 7 by mailing them to:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
Pitney Bowes Inc. receives cards at the special Holiday Mail post office box, and screens them for hazardous materials. Pitney Bowes screens, packages and ships the cards at no charge, and contributes thousands of volunteer hours at sites around the country.
Red Cross volunteers across the United States and on military installations overseas then sort and deliver the cards throughout the holiday season. The Red Cross and Pitney Bowes have received and distributed more than 4.7 million cards for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and their families since the program began in 2006.
To ensure that cards are delivered in time for the holidays, they must be postmarked no later than December 7. Individuals are asked to refrain from sending "care packages," monetary donations, or using glitter or any other kinds of inserts with the cards. More information and card requirements are at redcross.org/holidaymail.
The public can connect with fellow card senders through Facebook at facebook.com/redcross and Twitter.com/redcross using the hashtag #holidaymail.

My Dad loves these Active Joe sweatpants. I just moved him to Florida and the weight of these are PERFECT! He loves the zipper front too! I'm ordering him 2 more pair.
Rating 1.0 of 5:
Just opened the package to find these pants are so thin you can see through them! Hard to believe the description that they will be twice as warm as average sweat pants. To me sweat pants are fleece and these are not fleecy at all. And they want to charge me $8.99 to return them! Very disappointed. Also each back pocket has two small velcro strips which I am concerned about holding up in the wash.

Things continue to be quiet in Sabreland but the preseason chatter is already starting to build, even though no one really knows what's going to happen with the CBA.
(Big news of the day in the NHL so far: Carolina signs former Calder Trophy winner Jeff Skinner to a six-year, $34.35 million extension. And memo to the Sabres: The terms of the deal were announced by the team).
NHL.com is running its 30 teams in 30 days feature -- the Sabres were on the docket over the weekend -- and the Hockey News is doing its predictions place by place each day (they have not hit the Sabres' spot in the East yet).
The Sabres figure to be an intriguing team to watch among the non-playoff clubs from last year and I appeared this morning on NHL Home Ice on Sirius/XM with Jamie Shalley and Terry Mercury. They were certainly interested, like everyone here, with what the Sabres are going to do at center and with all these defensemen.

The gemstone Garnet can be found in many colors: yellow, green, purple, blue and black—but most widely known is the red Garnet. Characterized by its deep scarlet color, it's been a jewelry mainstay since the Bronze Age.
Now that we have the history out of the way, I can talk about why Garnet is this month's hue. I remember last fall seeing just a hint of dark red floating around the style sphere. However, I did not see much, and it seemed to be almost more of a purple than a red. So I crossed my fingers and waited patiently for this fall, and what do you know: Garnet is everywhere. Needless to say, I bought it up. We're talking watch bands, merino sweaters, socks and yes, even cereal bowls.
Now, lets talk #menswear. By now you're probably catching on to some of my favorite labels. Here's some more fodder.
1. Baldwin does it again. At this point, you're probably familiar with this staple. It's just a really fine hat. Go say hi to Cameron or David and pick one up.
2. Saturdays Surf NYC has created the perfect chunky sweater: The Keith Cable Knit Sweater. Grab your rubber boots, 'cuz we're going fishing (on a boat, in Ireland). I think the cable knit sweater is an iconic piece that's great for the wardrobe; the key is getting one that's chunky but not too chunky. You want the sweater to look chunky, not you.
3. This is a bit of a new idea for me, since I've never owned a pair of corduroys, especially red ones. But if I'm going to be breaking boundaries, I might as well do it with the help of Ovadia & Sons—one of my favorite new designers. I think these could be pulled of with the right cardigan, a nice oxford, and a pair of double monks.
4. Add this little J.Crew pocket square for a bit of color and flair to your favorite suit jacket. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
5. This one's for any guy ever: super easy jacket, great for a muted color without being in your face about it. You can snatch it up at Top Man. Attention: They've got a student discount, too!
What colors are you guys into this season?

Original recipe yields 6 servings
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the sweet potatoes directly on the rack and bake until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and heat for 1 minute, then whisk in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes and cut into bite size chunks. Add to the soup and cook for 5 more minutes so they can soak up the flavor. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a little bit of cilantro.

EXCELLENT flavor! Fast supper technique: Put up broth to boil, (I used chicken rather than vegetable) peel the sweet potatoes, chunk them up into the broth, chunk up the onion and add to the broth. Substitution for curry paste and fresh ginger: 1 t chili powder, 1 t cumin, 1 t ginger, and 1 T curry powder. Once the potatoes were cooked, puree in the blender with the lemon juice and then pour back into pan and add the coconut milk, chopped cilantro & sesame oil. I skipped the salt. VERY tasty and quick! Garnished with a seasoned sour cream/yogurt blend and we can hardly wait to have leftovers tomorrow night!
Exceptional! Will make it again and again. Substituted curry paste with 1 t-spoon of cumin, 1t curry, 1t ginger, 1t chili.) Also pureed one small bunch of cilantro with 1/2 a lemon worth of lemon juice and added a teaspoon of the mixture to each plate. The green cilantro mass against the red soup base looked very pretty!
Really good. A great way to use the leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that my boyfriend wasn't wild about the soup. I made the following changes to make the soup healthier and more authentic: 1. Used lite coconut milk from Trader Joe's instead of regular coconut milk to cut down on the calorie and fat content 2. I added more curry paste than the recipe called for- about 1 1/2 table spoons. I really like Thai curry flavor and I'm used to really strong Thai curries from restaurants. 3. Substituted fish sauce for the salt in the recipe and I added it while the soup was simmering 4. I cooked it for way longer than the original recipe calls for. After I added the sweet potatoes I simmered the soup for about a half hour. 5. Here's the big thing. The soup tasted bland, but I put 3/4ths of the batch into the blender and it made the soup go from ok to great. It made all the flavor from the sweet potatoes come out. 6. I added the cilantro, but not the sesame oil. The soup really didn't need the extra flavor.

NORMAN — Quick. What's Norman's current population?
As of this week, city officials set the mark at 114,450. It seems like only months ago, we were passing 100,000 residents, including University of Oklahoma students.
Norman and Lawton were battling over which city was the state's third and fourth largest, behind Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
Norman was counting students and Lawton was counting soldiers.
Lawton counts about 100,000 residents now, with the soldiers.
Our city has 196 square miles and 835 miles of public streets, roads and highways.
We also have 855 vehicles, with 58 of them converted to compressed natural gas. Norman may be the only city in the state that operates a CNG gas station that is open to the public.

Oscoda Vacation Rentals with Cable Tv(15)

We rented this more than adequate beach oasis for 3 nights while attending a family reunion in the area. There were 6 adults but we also accommodated 2 children (5&6) and a senior with mobility issues for breakfasts and dinners. Everyone found the property spacious and accommodating. The children could play in the sand at the back of the house while we enjoyed coffee or desert in the eat in sun room. There is so much room in this place!!!! The sand, water, deck and open concept in the kitchen and family room make conversation and contentment very easy to attain. We actually did not use the living room or music room as we were drawn to the outdoors the whole time we were there. The property was spotless when we arrived and we found everything as per instruction from the owner or the manager next door who left us a note. There was ample linen and the two full bathrooms were a bonus when we were all trying to get ready to leave. I am the cook in the family and we had tons of storage space as well as all the utensils and dishes I needed to get a meal on the table. This place is a rental dream come true!!!! The owner was super helpful from the first time I contacted her. She answered all my questions promptly and gave helpful information when I asked about grocery shopping and directions. I am Canadian and she paid special attention to banking requirements and postal considerations that are involved in a cross border rental. I could not have felt more accommodated or cared about in dealing with the owner. I have rented from VRBO in Canada, the United States and Europe. This property is up there with my most enjoyable rental experiences. If you have a chance to travel to this very special part of Michigan, PLEASE take advantage of this rental!!!
Beach cottage rental accurately described as "Paradise right out the door". We spent a wonderful family vacation here and made some amazing memories. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the lake waves right out the upper bedroom door walls. Morning coffee on the deck and then morning walks on the beach with our 4 year old grandson--priceless. Watching him fly his kite on the soft sand beach with his dad--also priceless. We rented a pontoon boat nearby and spent 4 hours boating on the AuSable River (6 adults, 4year old and 6 month old grandsons)--good time. Well maintained property with a great location where we could spend time relaxing and re-connecting with our family. Owner also readily available if needed for any questions or concerns that might arise.
We had an amazing time at Jacqui's beach house! It is super clean and has every amenity that you would need to enjoy your stay. We immediately felt at home. The beach was amazing! White soft sand all the way to the water. Great for our family (3 young children). They played in the sand all day and enjoyed the quick walks down to the waters edge. The house is very private, we had the entire beach to ourselves our entire stay. We are already looking forward to returning. Thanks Jacqui for sharing this wonderful oasis!

— A nation of churches
Dear Editor,
Since I was a child I've loved trains, red barns and one-room church houses. When traveling with my Mom and Dad as a child, I noticed trains. Then in 1965 on our honeymoon, my husband and I snooped out the quaint, red barns of the Midwest.
Recently a one-room church house on a back road in Kansas caught my attention. The walls were freshly painted white. The roof was bright with new red shingles. The steeple stretched up to a cloudless Kansas sky, and atop the steeple, raised high, was a polished, metal cross.
Through the years while driving the interstates in the United States, I've seen more one-room churches than I could count. If there's a gas station and one or two mom and pop businesses by the highway, there will be a church or two nearby.
America is a nation of churches, and you'll find tens of thousands of them in rural areas, for since America's conception she's shone an affinity for Christ, thus church building has been a constant in her history. In a few hundred years, we've built countless churches, making us a nation of churches. As a Christian and American, it is a great source of pride to me.
Barbara Pickard, Aledo

The Duncan Banner
After months of fundraising for a mission trip to Africa, 17-year-old Shelbi Neufeld suddenly found herself stripped of all $700 she had planned to take with her.
Working through an organization for teen mission trips called Global Missions, the Marlow High School senior set out to meet with the rest of her group in Texas before leaving together for Africa. The night before her flight, Neufeld's room that she occupied with three other girls was ransacked, leaving her with no money.
Frightened and upset, Neufeld called her mom who just happened to be in the company of her daughter's youth group from Immanuel Baptist Church and told them of the disaster. Within that one evening, the group raised $1,600 to replace the money she had lost.
"I was freaked out but God came through," said Neufeld. "I'm so thankful."
Unfortunately, this wasn't the only road block Neufeld hit before her travels. She had left her yellow fever card at home, an item that was necessary for travel to Africa. But again, things worked out when her parents were able to overnight Fedex the card to her.
"It all happened the same day and I thought I would have to go home," she said.
While Neufeld had previously been on mission trips within the states, this was her first overseas trip. She was glad to have the company of one of her best friends within the group that left on July 7 and returned Aug. 2.
What she experienced was a bit different than what she imagined the trip would be and it took her a while to have it sink in that she was in another country.
Despite the strange smells and huts that sat across from her hotel, it wasn't until she interacted with the children of schools and orphanages the mission was working with that Neufeld realized the difference.
"It hit me the second week we were there," she said. "This little girl was talking to me about how she'd been through rape and war. It was heartbreaking."
The mission was to go into schools and orphanages to witness to the children about God. Because they couldn't go in straight to that subject, they began their time by talking about abstinence and leading into a conversation about faith.
"We were like rockstars to them and it was awesome," said Neufeld.
"They were always wanting to give us gifts and hold our hand or pray with them and they were so open."
Neufeld said there were two main lessons she took away from the experience. One stems from the trouble she ran into in the beginning and the second, from the time spent with the African children.
"I learned to never lose faith because I thought I'd have to go home but He pulled through," said Neufeld. "Also, to not be selfish because (the African kid's) rich is our poor."
Despite the homesickness she felt each night, when she was with the children, Neufeld said she didn't feel it but when the time came to fly home, she was ready. However, she said two days after being back home, she wished she were still in Africa.
Similar mission trips are something she plans on doing again, and soon.
"I want to go to Baja, Mexico, this December and this time I want to take my brother," she said about brother Kirby, a junior at MHS.
"We are really close and I think it would be good for him."
As far as the money that was raised and gifted to her, Neufeld only spent $700 of it. The rest she gave to the schools and orphanages and $400 of it went to a Women's Clinic in Africa.
She also purchased wristbands for the youth group, which she handed out at a gathering where she expressed her gratitude and shared her experience.
"I cried and then I said they did amazing," she said. "If it hadn't been for everyone, I would have had to start over."

An early morning fire caused extensive damage to a Prospect Street home Wednesday but no injuries to a family of seven, according to Deputy Chief Joseph Callaghan of the Maplewood Fire Department.
The fire began at around 12:30 a.m. as the family slept: a couple and their four young children on the second floor and the children's grandmother, who was visiting, on the third floor.
"The family was alerted by smoke detectors on the first, second and third floors," said Callaghan. "The wife called 911 while the (husband) made sure (his) mother was OK and evacuating. The children and rest of the family then exited the home."
As the fire department arrived, the fire was extending to the second floor exterior, Callaghan said. Maplewood's Platoon 2 was assisted by the South Orange and Millburn Fire Departments in extinguishing the fire.
The back exterior of the house suffered extensive damage, Callaghan said, but the house is habitable.
Deputy Chief Walter Nugent said several factors were critical in saving the family: properly placed smoke detectors; the fact that the family promptly called 911, and that the family had a pre-planned evacuation plan in place.
"If the family didn't have smoke detectors, it could have been very bad," said Callaghan.

The european Mars Express mission, which was launched on 2 June 2003, is providing important new data on the geology, mineralogy and atmosphere of Mars. Mars Express is giving us information about the history of the Red Planet's climate and explaining the role and whereabouts of water on the planet. Thanks to the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) developed in DLR's Institute of Planetary Research, Mars is being mapped in three dimensions and colour for the first time.
Join us on a trip to our planetary neighbour. See breathtakingly beautiful pictures of its surface. Find out more about its geology, climatic history and moons, and learn about the history of its exploration.
A wealth of information about Mars, its surface, subsurface and atmosphere has led to a completely new view of the Red Planet.
This animation shows a flight over the region of the Chasmata Melas, Candor and Ophir in the central part of Valles Marineris. 'Chasma' (= Greek for "fissure/canyon", plural 'chasmata') refers to deep valleys and canyons on Mars and Venus bound by steep cliff faces.
The images shown in this gallery were generated at the Institute for Geological Sciences at the Freie Universität Berlin and published there as 'Highlights of the Month' in 2011. They present special Mars products obtained using the HRSC camera on board Mars Express.
The richly varied terrain of Hellespontus Montes on Mars is showcased in these images, acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) operated by DLR on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. On the western edge of the huge Hellas Planitia impact basin, traces can be seen of the icy streams that once flowed here.
A myriad of terrain types are found across the Terra Sirenum region in the southern highlands of Mars. Within the Atlantis basin, a complex and rugged landscape spread across roughly 200 kilometres known as Atlantis Chaos just begins to exemplify the broad diversity of geological processes that occurred in this relatively small area.

Shibs scores at NHK make me think they'll probably manage to hold on to 2nd place at Nationals for at least this season. Next season though, that could change, especially as Aldridge and Eaton will, presumably, be moving up.
Updating the total scores this season:
Shibs: 154.56 NHK
C/S: 149.54 CoC
Some nitpickingss
and that should be
C/B 149.54 CoC
And from other competitions (althought Senior B grading is mystical sometimes):
D&W and Shibs only competed on the GP
Hubbell / Donohue finished 3rd at Finlandia with 150.30, so that was their best
K/G-s 140.86 Salt Lake /139.70 Graz (so their SA results are their best)
C/B won Nebelhorn with 147.79 (so not higher) and did worse at Salt Lake (so CoC is their best)

Make your own conductive fabrics, thread, glue, and tape, and use them to make potentiometers, resistors, switches, LED displays and circuits.
Using conductive glue and conductive thread you can make LED displays and circuits on any flexible fabric. They can be made flexible enough to roll up (see pic2). using the techniques presented here, you can replace solder in many instances and create circuits on almost any hard or flexible surface.
This instructable is the result of some of my experiments with making conductive materials and components. While some of the techniques shown in the following steps were not used in this particular project, they may be something you will find useful for future projects that involve conductive materials.
This instructable will show you how to:
1. Make several kinds of conductive glue, paint and ink.
2. Connect LED displays and micro controllers on fabric using conductive glue and conductive thread.
3. Make magnetic glue, a flexible potentiometer, and a magnetic plug and socket
4. Make your own conductive thread and where to find conductive thread at Wal-Mart.
5. Make conductive fabric, conductive foam, and foam switches, membrane switches and pressure sensors.
6. Make a conductive glue that will glue battery packs and eliminate the battery holder.
7. Program the 18x Picaxe micro controller to display words and numbers.
Is how safe is it to make and use? Would it be suitable for this project? http://www.popsci.com/article/diy/light-your-love-life-diy-electric-valentine
In a fairly thick coating, it should be fairly waterproof.
Worst layout ever.
Terrific instructable. Gave me just what I was looking for.
While it may stick to the glass OK, I doubt that it would be able to handle the high current of a defroster.
You could try conductive epoxy that is silver filled. It has a very low resistance.
What other solvents work? Toloul/toluene is not availible to me.
- use e.g. Mix #1, 2 or 4 to fix components on breadboards (probably even replace soldering)
- replace the cement or liquid tape with Acrylic binders/Polymer resin emulsions such as those used by painters to create their colours - since these are very stable materials
is it in instructable?
Do your paint stripper would also strips the silver ink which we do use before electrofoaming.
please revert asap.
What in informative Instructable!
I actually signed up JUST to be able to post on this and rate it!
I was once planning on making my wife a "Taser" glove as a fun(cool) project so that she could use for self deffence or what not outside (gets pretty cold here) without needing to rush to her purse or anything.
My original idea was to pour an attractive latex addition to an inexpensive glove I purchased some while earlier (they were called "jogging" gloves). And to try burying wires from the battery and high-voltage in the design (She has to be able to wear it outside remember?).
Well it doesn't take much to figure out that wires do not exactly stretch like a glove would! I was just too caught up with the "cool looking gadget" idea to correctly analyse correct functionality even though I was so busy evaluating of her ergonomics, cushion pads, her hand mould and etc...
As an alternative; I was thinking of how we used to copper plate polyester statues we made in the academy and then chemically treated them to look like Bronze. I was thinking if there would be a way to do the same since to be able to electroplate it we used to paint it with a strong mix of (in that project) coppered paint, making it conductive.
Why couldn't I paint an insulated glove (Was NOT a good idea with such a high voltage)?
To no success I retreated to the original idea of giving wires a certain distance for motion and to put it all 'under' the glove.
Where safety was a concern though that maybe a rubber glove underneath would be a good idea and etc...
As you may guess:
The project has been on hold for some time, due to impracticalness at the period of "just begining".
Now that I read your instructable;
I am full with many new ideas! If nothing; a few of my other glove projects had involved a glove that you would not need to take off in cold weathers to be able to use your touch-pad (there are two that I use often, a very thick one that is also battery operated for really cold weathers, and another that is more what a liner with conductive thread patches.
For all honesty; after my failure and no demand for such a "weapon/toy"; I didn't experiment with other metals or binders… (Also due to lack of time and too many other projects to attend to)
Would you recommend the conductive glue or paint you have experimented with for such voltages ranging from 400 volts on (depending on the feed it gets up to a nasty 1100 even. It is something almost all of us must have done at some time with an old flash... nothing too new there)
I will try to experiment with your combinations first chance I get though.
THANK you for the inspiration!
As a sidenote:
If any of you have trouble finding "Tuloul solvent", I believe it's a typo. I think it's Tuluol solvent, or more commonly known as Toluene. Here's a wikipedia page:

Mmmmmmmmmmnnn!!! This was so good. I used a little less sausage than called for. After it was cooked, I removed it from the skillet, making sure to leave about 4 tbsp of drippings because a good gravy has the ratio of 2 tbsp flour to 2 tbsp fat to 1 cup milk. I cooked the flour and drippings mixture for a little bit and slowly stirred in the milk. Once it was thick and bubbly, I added the sausage back in and simmered to meld flavors. I found no salt was needed but did add lots of freshly cracked black pepper. Served over hot biscuits and it was delicious. This one is a keeper.
This was possibly the best sausage gravy I've ever had. I doubled the flour and milk as many reviewers suggested, but turned out I didn't need to double the grease. :) I used regular pork sausage seasoned with a bit of garlic and onion powder, sage, a tiny bit of thyme, and of course lots of black pepper. It did not need salt at all. The great thing about this recipe is that you can make the gravy right in the pan with the sausage. I've never done it that way before, and I've made lots of gravy! Try it! You'll like it!
Bella & Zoe's Mom
I loved this gravy..tastes just like my favorite growing up. I actually doubled the sauce but not the meat..I felt there was plenty. It was great. Edit: This has become a regular recipe for us and when our families come to visit..they BEG me to make. it. It is also good leftover.

Orthopedic Program at Buffalo General
The Goal
The goal of Buffalo General Medical Center's Orthopedic program is simple: return patients to normal function as quickly and safely as possible. In addition to the latest technology and procedures, the program's highly-trained team of physicians and personalized therapy services personnel work together to deliver care that takes the time to understand the patient's personal needs.
Expertise and Innovation
As Chief of Orthopedics, Dr. Krackow and his team have been leading the nation in computer-assisted total knee replacement since 1997. Dr. Krackow invented a system to help surgeons make more precise decisions regarding joint placement, and Buffalo General was home to the first surgery in the world to use that innovative technology. Called the Stryker Knee Navigation System, it dramatically improves a surgeon's precision during a knee replacement procedure by using a real-time information-processing system that provides in-depth information when it matters most: during surgery. The system assists the surgeon in properly aligning the implant, which establishes a higher degree of accuracy and control.
Collectively, the orthopedic team has decades of experience in helping to return individuals to the most comfortable, mobile life possible.

On Saturday night, Class A No. 3 Borden's 19-year wait to get another crack at West Clark sister school Silver Creek finally ended.
Unfortunately for the host Braves, they could not find a way to defeat the Dragons for the third time in program history. Silver Creek snapped a three-game losing streak in knocking off Borden, 60-51.
The Dragons now lead the all-time series with the Braves, 38-2. It was the first meeting between the schools since the 1994 Jeffersonville Sectional, which Silver Creek won 67-50.
Saturday's matchup, which was the first game in a four-year contract between the West Clark foes, was the first regular-season meeting between the Braves and Dragons since Feb. 10, 1940.
Creek came out on top in that contest, 36-32. Borden's last victory against the Dragons happened on Feb. 17, 1933 in a 24-23 triumph.
Silver Creek coach Brandon Hoffman expected a physical and emotional game, and that is exactly what the capacity crowd of almost 2,500 got.
"I know they have been looking forward to this game for a long time," Hoffman said. "I just have so much respect for [Borden coach Doc Nash] and his program. I knew we had to play an excellent game against them."
The Dragons (3-8) got off to a fast start and led 19-6 at the end of the opening quarter. Creek knocked down eight of its 11 field goal attempts in the first period, and it went on a nine-point run to end the stanza.
"It was very important," Hoffman said about his team's great start. "We're a young team and sometimes we wait until it's too late to click [the offense] on. That was our focus — to get off to a good start."
Borden's first quarter shooting was completely ice cold, as it missed nine of its 11 shots in the period. It was a sign of things to come as the Braves (9-1) finished the game shooting 15-of-44 from the floor (34.1 percent).
"We just weren't ready to play. We couldn't make a shot and we couldn't finish a shot," Nash said about the opening period. "We dug ourselves a hole and never came out of it. It's embarrassing. They came out on fire. Give them credit — they made shots. They made shots and we didn't."
The Braves chipped away at Silver Creek's early double-digit lead for the rest of the contest. They outscored the Dragons 13-8 to cut their deficit to 27-19 at halftime. Borden started the third quarter with five straight points to get within three at 27-24.
"We actually made a few shots in the third, and defensively we did a better job in the third," Nash said. "But they just kicked our tail on the glass. They absolutely manhandled us and we didn't fight back.
"It's just embarrassing. I'm absolutely embarrassed that a Borden team played that soft."
Silver Creek got its advantage back up to seven a few times during the second half. The Dragons went up 42-35 early in the fourth quarter on a bucket by 6-foot-5 sophomore Jake Steele.
Senior Billy Kirchgessner got Borden back within three at 44-41 after converting a basket with about 4:30 left in regulation.
But the Braves got no closer.
Silver Creek concluded the game by outscoring Borden, 16-10. The Dragons got most of their points at the free-throw line during that stretch, converting 10-of-14 foul shots.
"I think we played with a lot of poise at the end," Hoffman said. "We had a variety of guys step up and make some plays for us at the end, and we made enough free throws."
Sophomore Gabe Bauer paced Silver Creek with 13 points. Steele had 11 points and a team-high six rebounds. The Dragons ended up shooting 21-of-38 from the field (55.3 percent).
"I told Coach Hoffman that they were the best 2-8 team in the state. Now, they are the best 3-8 team in the state," Nash said. "They're young, but they're skilled and can make plays. They beat us in every aspect of the game tonight — every aspect. Coach Hoffman deserves a world of credit.
"Tonight, we laid an egg. It's disappointing ' the biggest game on our schedule and we laid an egg."
Kirchgessner was the only Brave to score in double digits with a career-high 28 points. The 6-foot point guard shot 8-of-14 from the field and 11-of-17 from the stripe.
"He's a winner," Nash said. "He willed some shots in and he took some bad ones. But you know what, he's our senior leader and he's the best we've got."
Borden struggled mightily in its perimeter shooting, especially from 3-point range. The Braves were only 1-of-16 from behind the arc against Silver Creek's tough zone defense.
"Our zone can cause a lot of fits," Hoffman said.
Both teams will hit the road on Friday. The Dragons will visit Class 3A No. 9 Brownstown Central, while Borden will travel to Austin.

Don't let the promise of a chilly Wednesday prevent you from enjoying National Frozen Yogurt Day. Stop in at your favorite self-serve shop and create a delicious dessert in honor of the special day.
There's been a boom in the frozen yogurt market, with dozens of stores opening in Bucks and Montgomery counties over the past year. The low-fat alternative to ice cream has proven to be a favorite choice in today's health-conscious environment. The added perk of self-serve yogurt and toppings has also helped the industry's popularity.
Just be careful with those toppings. There may be fewer calories in a bowl of frozen yogurt, but that advantage begins to slip away once you start shoveling on crunched up Kit Kat Bars or Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
You can dip into your own cup at one of the following locations:
- Yapple Frozen Yogurt, 1319 E. Lincoln Highway, Levittown
- The Yogurt Cup, 187 Kenwood Dr., Levittown
- Top it Frozen Yogurt Café, 110 Lincoln Highway, Fairless Hills
- Mojo's, 546 Andrews Rd., Trevose
- RedBerry Frozen Yogurt, 2830 S. Eagle Rd., Newtown
Tell us your favorite yogurt and topping combinations in the comments!

MOULTRIE, Ga. — They're not cute and cuddly like usual pound pets, and their frequent crowing is not exactly anyone's idea of a lullaby. But officials are hoping that the public can find room in their hearts and homes for 45 abused roosters.
The animals were rescued from a cockfighting operation. The public, except those who were arrested at the raid, may adopt a rooster.
Caring for the chickens has been a burden, said Don Flowers, director of the Moltrie-Colquitt County Humane Society. "We're just not set up to handle chickens."
The birds are housed in separate cages because they have been trained to attack any rooster with which they come into contact, he said.
Flowers said he's heard of cases where roosters have been rehabilitated, but it takes time.
"These roosters are real scared," he said. "They were fighting for their life. Since they were little, they were brought up to fight."
The OK was given to put the roosters up for adoption after a judge signed an order allowing their disposal, an act which was deeed better than euthanizing the animals.
The roosters may be purchased for $35 apiece.

fits well good overall protection..fast shipping...recomended!
Good value for padded shorts. I have some padded shorts that fit better, but these are almost as good. Haven't fallen on them yet, but they look like they would do their job.
These fit great and don't shift when riding. Haven't had a spill yet with these on, but I forget that I have them on when I'm riding because they are so light. You can't beat the price either, no one else makes padded shorts for this cheap.
The chamois is really thick on these, which is a good thing for me. I don't get much out of the leg padding and makes it hard to put my winter pants over it, but they were worn a lot in warm weather and feel great.
Have had a pair for nearly 5 years. Saved me a few times. Fit great. Protection where you need it. I am buying a new pair.
