Versatile background contributes to successful career for MBA graduate
As a high school and college student working for her family's roofing company in Tucson, Ariz., Shellie Molina was entrusted to manage the businesses office, where she was exposed to business operations.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from the University of Arizona, she worked as a buyer for a small electronics outsourcing company. Partnering with her family and working at the start-up business launched her career, preparing her for her current position as vice president of supply chain, customer services, sales and operations at First Solar, an Arizona-based solar panel manufacturer.
"Those first two jobs in a small environment served as the basis for my current career," recalled Molina, who received a Master of Business Administration degree from Baker University in 2000 while working in Olathe for Honeywell Aerospace. "I have been fortunate to have people looking out for me, guiding me through my career, assigning me to do tasks and helping me to succeed."
At First Solar in Tempe, Ariz., Molina works with 5,000 associates and oversees 450 employees worldwide. Established in 1999, First Solar, now a $3 billion company, has experienced immense growth in the past five years, emerging as a major provider of fully integrated solar solutions, creating value-driven renewable energy projects. The company has established a portfolio of customers that include some of the world's most sophisticated energy buyers.
"We've had a complete change of strategy, recently consolidating our team," Molina said of her first year at First Solar after working 15 years with Honeywell first in the Kansas City area and then in her home state of Arizona. "We have had an extremely profitable year and we are re-evaluating our place in the market, looking at demand and supply and signaling to our senior leadership our plans for the future months. My current position allows me to have insight to a lot of our operations procedures."
Competing against oil, gas and other renewable energy companies, First Solar has built power plants in the United States and locations across the world, including Malaysia and Germany.
"We go into regions in the world that have no power at all," Molina said. "It is pretty amazing that we have the ability to bring power to regions that are not connected to a grid."
With a unique background in customer support, operations, change management, organizational design, global leadership and logistics, Molina has the skills to thrive in her current position at First Solar.
"The last 20-plus years of my job experiences have culminated into this one job," she said. "I am able to draw upon the many experiences with a better understanding how things are connected."
Managing Transformation
While at Honeywell, Molina developed a reputation for managing transformation. For five years she oversaw global teams, managing different cultures in different time zones. She is a firm believer in the books Creating a Lean Culture and Getting the Right Things Done, often referencing the leadership guides.
"You have to establish an operating system to connect all of your team members and all have the same missions, goals and objectives," she explained. "You won't know where you are going without a plan."
She prefers to meet four times a year with her teams to discuss what they should execute in the next three months.
"There has to be a rhythm or a drumbeat to what you want to accomplish," she said. "You need to organize teams to understand what to expect and discuss certain things as well as prepare for things that might escalate."
Power of Mentoring
If not for surrounding herself with mentors, Molina believes her career would not have developed to its current level.
"I had a mentor tell me once that you need to have a leadership sponsor," she said. "If you have sponsorship at the senior level, you will continue to grow your career. You don't move into a senior-level position all by yourself."
Molina enjoys sharing ideas to improve a company.
"If you are more concerned about where your organization is going, your own personal success will follow," she said. "If you are chasing a title, you probably won't be fulfilled in your job."
In her previous job at Honeywell, she was fortunate to be guided by incredible mentors. She wished more workers would take that advantage.
"Many people don't take advantage of what a mentor can truly offer," she said. "It is nice to talk about the big picture and good to have a mentor inside and outside the organization. For a recent presentation to the board of directors, I called a previous mentor for advice. He told me to remember you are talking to shareholders. They have different interests and ideas. If I had not been given that advice, I might not have leveled the presentation the way I did."
Influence of an MBA
Molina met her husband, Daniel Graf, while they worked together at Honeywell, previously AlliedSignal. She was intrigued by the idea of pursuing a master's degree after her husband began coursework on a Bachelor of Science in Management.
"It spurred me to get my MBA while I was in Kansas," said Molina, who returned to Arizona in 2001. "Half of my MBA class were Allied associates and half them reported to me. I loved the relationships in the classroom and the program's flexibility."
As a high-ranking administrator with First Solar, Molina depends on the skills she acquired while taking master's classes at Baker's Overland Park campus.
"I use my finance and MBA knowledge on a weekly basis," she said. "It is vastly important seeing through the eyes of a CFO. I draw upon a lot of my finance and MBA knowledge more than I ever have."

Working in the media, you learn to separate personal feelings from the stories you write. Although I am not a reporter, I have seen my share of tragedies over the years.
This latest one though was a little too much for me to handle.
I was at work when I learned of the shooting in Newtown, Conn. I started reading the story that had come across the Associated Press wire service. I had to stop. A few minutes later someone turned the TV on in the newsroom. There was CNN discussing the horrifying events that had occurred earlier that day.
Fortunately, I had just completed my work for the day, and I left. I did not want everyone to see me crying over this. But I couldn't help it. I have a 7-year-old daughter and trying to imagine what these parents were going through was just too much.
Later that night I was reading all the posts on Facebook. Most were offering their prayers for the victims and their families. Some were posting links on gun control. Some were posting links on prayer in school. I read everything in numbness. My mind just couldn't get past those little children.
The next day I turned the TV on CNN and more coverage of the school shooting. Now they were discussing the politics and the why and how of this horrific event.
Everyone seems to have an opinion on ways to prevent things like this from happening. But can we actually avoid tragic events like this? Is there some magic solution to this problem in our country? The answer to that is "no."
Will stricter gun laws keep things like this from ever happening again? No.
There are some screaming for more gun control. At some level I am all for that. There should be safety and background checks for anyone wanting to purchase a gun. But those guns did not get up and go into that school and pull the trigger all on their own. A living person had to do all those things. If you take away gun rights completely, then the ones who want to cause harm will just find other ways of doing it.
Will prayer in school keep things like this from ever happening again?
No. And it's hard for me to say this because I am a strong believer in prayer and think it belongs in school. Without God we have nothing. Without God we are nothing. Prayer will help those suffering, but it would not have prevented the incident.
We can do so many things as a nation, as cities and towns, as individuals, but it will not change the fact that there are very evil and very sick people in the world.
We can be vigilant, enforce strict security measures and learn how to watch for signs in these people who plan these evil acts.
We can pray for the families who have had to endure such a great loss in their lives and the teachers and staff who died trying to save the children. We can try to comfort those in need and offer our support in any way possible.
We can be responsible parents and do our best to teach our children right from wrong. We can show them by being responsible adults.
We can hug our children every day and tell them we love them.

Rushville Republican
Rush County Community Assistance recently received a $6,000 gift from the Rush County/Greensburg Dialysis Center of DaVita. Representing DaVita were Lisa Pharis, facility administrator Karla Kuhn, clinical coordinator, and Heather Swain, patient care tech.
Ms. Pharis, spoke and presented the gift, on behalf of DaVita. Pharis stated that at DaVita, "We are a community first and a company second. One way we live this is through our Trilogy of Care: caring for our patients, each other, and our world. As a part of Caring for our World, across the country, DaVita is giving approximately $1,000,000 (one million) to help non-profit organizations grow and thrive through an initiative called "The DaVita Way of Giving." She also stated that DaVita's Rush County and Greensburg centers were given the opportunity to select a local non-profit organization to benefit from DaVita's charitable donation initiative. Together they selected the Rush County Community Assistance.
Ms. Pharis shared that RCCA is an important neighbor, in the manner they serve the community by providing serves to those in need through the food pantry, housing referrals, and community assistance. She stated that DaVita is honored to be a community partner and neighbor, and hopes that the gift will assist in spreading ripples of citizen leadership into our wider community.
The check along with a certificate of gratitude was presented to Don Heller, RCCA Board President, who thanked DaVita for their community support and partnership.
Rush County Community Assistance is a non-profit agency located on East Third Street, Rushville that exist to assist local families with emergency food needs. RCCA provides food to approximately three hundred Rush County families monthly. Clients are able to receive food assistance on a month. The center is opened on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and on the second Tuesday evening from 6 to 7 p.m.
In December 2012, RCCA provided 365 Christmas sacks with food to provide for a special holiday dinner, which included a ham.
Rush County churches, schools, and service organizations conduct food campaigns throughout the year to support this outreach. RCCA also receives grants from local industries, businesses, and services organizations that give support for operating expenses. Approximately seventy-five persons serve as volunteers who stock the shelves, assist clients on days the center is open, clean the facility, and who purchase additional perishable food items.
Thanks goes to DaVita for their very generous donation and to all who remember the food pantry for their assistance.

ALBANY -- In today's what-goes-around-comes-around entry, we have the following from the state Republican Party.
The GOP, tasting blood after last week's damaging inspector general report about a scandal involving a number of top Democrats in the bidding for a big downstate casino, is trying to see if Sen. Eric Schneiderman had any involvement in the process. Schneiderman, a Democrat, is running for attorney general, and the top leaders of the Senate Democratic conference were among those held out for the worst of the criticism -- and potential legal problems -- by the inspector general.
And so the state GOP today filed a request from the Senate seeking various records from Schneiderman's office, saying it wants to know "what Schneiderman knew and when he knew it,'' according to Ed Cox, the Republican Party Chairman.
That would be Cox, whose father-in-law was the late Richard Nixon. Recall it was then-Sen. Howard Baker who, nearly 40 years ago, famously asked about the Nixon Watergate scandal: "What did the president know and when did he know it?"

Bacterial trick keeps robots in sync
Communicating environmental information allows a stumbling machine to rejoin its group
You don't have to watch Dancing with the Stars to know that keeping in sync is tough — and it's even tougher for a robot. A new approach keeps several robots in step, and even enables a dancing robot that loses its footing to seamlessly rejoin its synchronized peers.

Library History
The Dick Smith Library, named for a highly respected Tarleton professor and benefactor, has grown from one room into a three level structure housing almost 1,000,000 items. Beginning in 1894, when the school was known as Stephenville College and books were shelved in a church ante-room, the Library was shifted about and located in a strange array of college departments including the President's Office, the College Book Store, and the Dining Hall. The Library was given its own home in 1956, when a new building was erected. It was a two-story structure that surrounded an open mezzanine. A renovation and addition to the library in 1985 doubled the size, and the access, utility, and beauty of the library was greatly enhanced. Included in the expansion was an audio-visual room, computer lab, and meeting rooms.
Over the last decade, the library has kept pace with the latest in technological advances with the development of a library network, utilizing a variety of electronic resources and databases. Planning for a $5.2 million renovation and expansion began in December 2001 with construction getting underway in April 2004. Library services were uninterrupted throughout the project as the library staff and materials relocated with the building during various stages of construction. The dust, noise, and clutter cleared in January 2006, when the final construction phase seamlessly joined the library to the old math building.
While the library's exterior remained relatively unchanged, the interior now exhibits many dramatic changes: spacious study areas; 10 additional study rooms; fully-equipped instruction classroom; a multi-purpose meeting center; comfortable student lounge; reconfigured, well-lit stacks; AV listening rooms, and a striking Special Collection Suite. The Dick Smith Library expanded to 83,500 sq. ft. It can house up to a half million books and seat over 700 visitors.
The library through the years...

At 1:30, Friday morning, shots were fired upon Puff Daddy's Manhattanrecording studio. Daddy's House, while the CEO himself was away in Florida. According to the New York Post, the gunshots were fired through the front door, and while no one was directly struck by the gunfire, glass shards from the shattered door injured one woman. The Post went on to suggest that the intended target of the shooting was Shyne, The Bad Boy MC who sounds remarkably like Biggie, who'd gotten into an altercation with the unknown assailants earlier that evening at a night club.
Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease were recording in the studio at the time, both of whom released a statement denying any other involvement with the shooting. Police have yet to determine suspects or a motive for the shooting.

To the editor:
Amesbury has never looked nicer at Christmas time. Kissing balls, lighted garlands on the lampposts combined with decorated window boxes add to the festive glow. I think the merchants need a hand of applause for the efforts they have used in their window and merchandise displays.
I know this is a group effort and there are always some folks who spend many extra hours working to achieve what is becoming a wonderful tradition in Amesbury. I want to thank a few of the elves that pulled it together. Always a leader in décor, The Provident Bank sets the tone. Jay Gould of Flatbread, the sisters Antonietta and Elisa of Restorante Molise, Matt Sherrill of Gould Insurance conscripted his wife, Ellie, and daughter, Juliann, to help hang kissing balls and lighted garland on all the lampposts.
Melissa Lachance, our new director of the Chamber of Commerce, certainly has taken the reins and coordinated the chamber's activities.
Merchants really put their efforts in making this year a positive one for Amesbury. They are Art Studio, Ale House, Ovedia, Cherry Bomb, Gould Insurance and Park Place, Ben's Uniforms, Arc Tech-Water Street, Starbird Jewelers, Paws, Dolan Financial and Raya Beauty Center.
I have been in business in Amesbury for 29 years. And, this is the best-looking holiday ever. Thanks to all who participated I hope their holiday will be a joyous and prosperous one.
Merry Christmas to all.

The timing of Mayor Byron Brown's announcement that the city will spend $400,000 to fund band and orchestra programs that had been cut in 14 public schools raised a few eyebrows. He explained at his big announcement yesterday, complete with children playing instruments, that he had been at work on a solution for a month and a half. Whatever the reason, the announcement was made one month before the Democratic primary, where he will face former FBI Special Agent in Charge Bernie Tolbert.
Tolbert pointed out that on the subject of the school district, Brown frequently notes that he has no governance over it.
"Yet now, in the midst of the campaign to elect the Mayor of Buffalo and twenty four hours before the first debate in the campaign, Mayor Brown miraculously finds the power to leverage $400,000 from somewhere in the city's general fund to restore music programs in some of the city schools?," Tolbert said in a statement. "So as the Buffalo Public School System struggle with issues of declining student proficiency and a rising number of failing schools, the mayor finally decides to step forward to help bring music to some of the schools? That's not leadership."
Republican Sergio Rodriguez was critical of Brown, too. "This is simply a last-minute election year attempt by the mayor to create the impression that he has somehow been involved in our children's education," he said.
One caveat to that announcement yesterday. Though Brown said all 14 schools that expected cuts in their music programs would see some restorations, information from the district shows otherwise.
My colleage Sandra Tan reports on her blog today that both Riverside and Bennett high schools will not see their programs restored, though "further tweaks" by the district are possible.

After a painful dental surgery, I had to endure another painstaking issue… I was recently contacted via email by Talent Zoo stating that a company named Catapult Designs has reviewed my resume and I was to contact them for an online interview. A trendy way of recruitment has become ever so digital and the hiring process is finalized without having met with the candidates face to face. This process didn't surprise me, but what alerted me was the eagerness of a specific contact for the interview. Something didn't smell right!

The Daily Star
---- — I came across a card from my late aunt the other day. At first glance, it's nothing extraordinary. But I've kept it for more than 10 years for reasons that are complicated to explain.
Written on both sides of a small, blank greeting card with an image of a flower on the front, the card contains some standard pleasantries, and a request. My aunt knew I enjoyed shopping at thrift stores, and wanted me to look for something for her. She wrote that a smock, with pockets, would be useful to her when she was gardening, and if it wasn't too much trouble, she would appreciate it if I would keep my eye out.
My aunt died a few months later. She never got her smock.
Truth be told, I don't think I ever really looked for one. I'm sure I went to a few thrift stores in between the time she sent her card, and when she died. But I don't remember ever actually thinking of her, of taking the time to do what she had asked. And every time I see the pale yellow flower on the front of that greeting card, I am overwhelmed with shame and guilt.
I am sure my aunt did not go to her grave thinking, "I wish Emily had bought me that smock." I'm sure she had more important things on her mind. And yet, this unfinished task rankles, if only because it can never be completed.
Had she lived, my aunt would have celebrated her 69th birthday earlier this month. But she will never be 69. Instead, she died 11 years ago, and is stuck in time forever as a 58-year-old.
My grandparents died when I was in elementary school. Their death was sudden and shocking and I remember, somewhere amid my own grief, realizing with horror that my father was now an orphan. The thought was so appalling to me that I tried to push it away. But when my aunt, and years later my uncle, died as well, I was painfully aware that my father, who was the youngest of the three siblings, had become the oldest member of his family.
My grandparents, too, remain fixed in time, and my memories of them grow more and more fixed as well. What I have are mostly snapshots, sense memories. My grandmother's quiet hands placing card upon card in a game of solitaire; the taste of jelly beans and gumdrops, of vanilla ice cream dipped in sprinkles; the smell of the screen door and the rasp of red-winged blackbirds high in the oak trees along the driveway; my grandfather's lean profile, bent over the organ as he picked out tunes for the children to dance to. And I am forever a child, seeing them through a child's eyes.
As fall moves haltingly in, I find myself thinking of my aunt and my grandparents, whose deaths happened around this time of year. And I wonder if that is not why I cannot abide this season, when the life seems to be slipping out of everything to be replaced by darkness and dry husks of matter. The autumns of my childhood were not the exuberant affairs we experience locally; rather, falls were wet and chilly; dark and brown. Despite having lived here for more than a decade, I can't seem to adjust my mental state to match my surroundings.
In a world that is full of infinite mystery, death is perhaps one of the most difficult to get one's head around. Nature abhors a vacuum, and there is a reason that contemplating nothingness is an exercise in meditation. We talk about "coming to terms" with death, but do we ever, really? There will always be an absence, a place where something once was that remains vacant.
If I could go back, I would buy my aunt that smock. If I could change the past, I would give myself the chance to know my grandparents as one adult to another, rather than as a child. But I cannot.
Instead, I choose to fill the absence left behind in other ways. The questions I can't ask the dead, I ask the living. Will this make their deaths any more knowable, any easier to grasp? I doubt it. But having conversations with my mother and father now means I won't regret not having after they are gone. And perhaps that is enough.

- BY Special to the Gazette
Halifax Events kicks off the summer at the Farmer's Market in the Town of Halifax on Friday, June 14, from 6-11 p.m. with a great night of "Blues, Brews and BBQ."
Music from the legendary Steve Bassett Blues Band (co-author of "Sweet Virginia Breeze") and Halifax's own Hot Damn! Band will fill the air along with the aroma of the finest barbecue around, according to Events Coordinator Susi Robbins.
This Friday marks the debut of the Blue Flame Barbeque Sundae at the "Blues, Brews and BBQ."
"It's barbecue like you've never seen it before. No muss, no fuss, just sweet and spicy signature barbecue beans layered with fresh creamy homemade coleslaw and topped with succulent hand pulled smoked pork," Robbins said. "Just one of the many taste bud adventures that include smoked beef brisket and the tried and true hand-pulled barbeque sandwich provided by Whitey Roark and Mark Dickerson's Blue Flame Barbeque."
There will be more of Halifax County's finest barbecue vendors on hand: "Smokin' Jakes" will be offering free tastings of pulled pork barbecue, their original in house barbecue sauces and mascot "Lucky" will make his debut from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Eddie Tate "Tater Bug's Bar-B-Que" will be grilling onsite featuring his award-winning dry rubbed fresh smoked pork, St. Louis style pork ribs, barbecue chicken and beef briskets.
"Ollies" will be featuring their awesome bone-sucking ribs, pulled pork barbecue and chicken. All vendors will offer a variety of sides to complete the dinner plate.
A great selection of wine and beer will be available from Bright Meadows Vineyards and Blue Ridge Beverage. Iced tea, water and sodas also will be available.
No parking will be available in Farmers Market parking lot, but handicap parking only will be available on a first-come, first-served basis along with a drop off area for the general public. Parking will be available along S. Main Street and adjacent parking areas.
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the gate and are available at the Halifax Town Office (along with T-shirts), Peddlar's Market Exchange Store, Common Grounds, Halifax Tourism Visitor Center, Molasses Grill and Bistro 1888.
"The public is invited to join us in the Town of Halifax to eat, drink and dance in the "Sweet Virginia Breeze," Robbins said. "Bring your lawn chair, your appetite and dancing shoes for a great night of 'Blues, Brews and BBQ."'

Former All-Western New York football players Akeel Lynch of St. Francis and John Urschel of Canisius were looking forward to the writing the next chapters of their football careers at Penn State, but that was before the NCAA threw the book at the university.
The NCAA on Monday morning announced a series sanctions against the Penn State football program for its involvement in the sexual abuse scandal surrounding former coach Jerry Sandusky. One of the sanctions allows current and incoming Penn State football players to transfer immediately to another school without penalty. Typically, players who move from one Division I school to another have to sit out one season.
Now Lynch and Urschel have to decide if Happy Valley will continue to be their home.
When contacted by phone after the NCAA announcement, St. Francis coach Jerry Smith said Lynch and Urschel were not immediately available because as of 11:45 a.m. they were in a players meeting at the Penn State complex discussing what steps to take. Lynch, an incoming freshman, left Buffalo for Penn State last month and has been taking summer school classes. "I can't begin to tell you what's going through his head," said Smith. "His grandmother just died last week, so it's been a stressful couple days. He left June 24, and he's been loving it."
Urschel is a 2008 Canisius graduate, who will be a senior this fall. He is a mathematics major and owns a perfect 4.00 grade-point average his last six semesters through the spring of 2012.
Lynch originally committed to Boston College.

By John Zaktansky
The Daily Item
— With the beautiful weather yesterday and again today, it is hard not to think about spring yard work here in central Snyder County.
But for me, it is impossible to get any yard work done in the spring.
I blame the turkeys.
Our house is surrounded by woods and placed on the side of a small mountain. There is always plenty to clean up and do after the winter, but every time I dust off the rake or oil up the push mower, it happens.
A gobbler gobbles.
The wild turkeys around our place are relentless. And I am powerless when I hear their clucks, chirps and squalks. On cue, I sneak into the house and grab the box call and small crow call – when I can find them.
And every time, I try to call those turkeys in. I make every turkey-like noise in the book. And each time, they respond with silence. It just isn't fair.
In fact, one time, I had some just about 50 yards away in our wood edge and figured it would be an easy call to get them to come closer. So I went to work with my box call, and the turkeys turned tail and ran away quickly in the opposite direction. I guess I just can't speak the language. Maybe schools around here should replace some of the Spanish or French classes with a few turkey or duck calling lessons. I'm sure that would go over well.
So each spring I stand there, box call in one hand, grass growing quicker by the minute. And I shake my head -- knowing that by spring gobbler season, the turkeys will all somehow disappear.
Do you have any cool experiences with turkeys or other wildlife in our area during the spring? I'd love to hear about them.

Ohio coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea recently led Ohio State University students on a service learning trip to the Honduran village of El Socorro de la Penita. During the trip, students explored socio-cultural differences, the coffee supply chain, and education and health issues facing small-plot coffee farmers.
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
Six Ohio State University students recently traveled to Honduras to learn about coffee cultivation and issues facing small-plot coffee farmers. The service learning trip to the village of El Socorro de la Penita was sponsored by local coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee and Tea, which imports El Socorro coffee served on the university campus.
Participating students from Ohio States Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Education, Nursing, and Business included Madison Carroll, Karina Kurzhals, Jacob Mendlovic, Andrea Rollert, Emilie Vandenberg and Matthew Wysong. Led by Zia Ahmed, OSUs senior director of Student Life Dining Services, and Greg Ubert, founder and president of Crimson Cup, the students explored socio-cultural differences, the coffee supply chain, and education and health issues facing small-plot coffee farmers.
The trips goal was for students to learn about the coffee production cycle, to develop relationships and to understand socioeconomic issues facing coffee farmers, Ahmed said.
While in Honduras, the students toured coffee farms and a wet mill that processes ripe coffee cherries, learning about smallholder farming systems and their agricultural and environmental practices.
They also met with teachers and students at the communitys one-room Jose Cecilio del Valle elementary school, which serves over 70 students. They participated in classroom sessions and engaged students in learning activities.
This is the second year that Crimson Cup has sponsored OSU student visits to El Socorro. Ubert hopes the trips become an annual tradition. This kind of educational and cultural exchange benefits both the students and the local farmers, Ubert said. For example, last years trip inspired the El Socorro community to make improving education for local children a priority.
On this years trip, students worked with community leaders and Crimson Cup on plans to hire an English-speaking teacher for the school. They also explored a process for setting up scholarships to enable El Socorro students to attend school beyond the sixth grade. And they learned to evaluate coffee that is purchased and served on the OSU campus.
This years students brought impressive levels of knowledge and energy to El Socorro, Ubert said. The community is deeply grateful for their contributions.
Crimson Cup has been working with El Socorro farmers since 2011. It imports their coffee through its Friend2Farmer® direct trade program, which ensures that farmers receive a fair share of the proceeds from coffee sales. It also donates funds for education and community improvements.

sorry i dont like raisins
I meant to say I CHILL the candies on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet! Thank you all for your patience!
A post script: I've given friends this candy, too! I like the fact that these candies are so simple to make! I DO shill the candies on waxed-paper-lined baking sheets and I use my trusty double boiler on my rangetop, rather than a microwave! This way, I can keep an eye on my chocolate candy base! I don't use almonds! But that IS an alternative-it is a key ingredient to these candies! DELOWENSTEIN
Actually, I have prepared this candy! I used 1 package of those chocolate Make & Mold Candy wafers which are sold in craft stores! I DID use the vegetable shortening! I also have used raisins or else substituted finely chopped candied cherries or crushed Starlites peppermint candy for the raisins & I've used about 1/2 cup roasted peanuts or up to 1 to 2 cups crushed potato chips or about 1/2 cup broken Utz's or Snyder's sour dough pretzel twists. I use this recipe for the holidays whenever I make candies for my colleagues at the local hospital where I volunteer! those candies are much enjoyed! thank you for sharing this recipe, Karen! DELowenstein
These are excellent! I didn't use the raisins, used 3/4 cup of coconut instead. Yummy! I did use semi-sweet chocolate as that is what I had on hand, but milk chocolate would certainly be better and that is what I am buying today to make another batch. I did take 1 cup whole almonds and chopped them a little, but they could also be left whole. And someone mentioned peanuts, I have had them that way too and yes, delicious!

The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

DANVERS — A troubled Danvers man was fatally shot by police after advancing on them with a knife late Thursday night, officials said.
Scott Kehoe, 37, of 5113 Kirkbride Drive, the site of the former Danvers State Hospital, was pronounced dead at Beverly Hospital.
Police had been called to the apartment complex shortly before 10 p.m. on a report of an assault and were also attempting to serve court warrants on Kehoe, the Essex district attorney's office said.
Court records indicate that Kehoe had failed to appear for court proceedings in a pending kidnapping and home invasion case in South Boston and in a second case in Salem District Court involving resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace.
He was also in the midst of eviction proceedings for the second time this year; a hearing in that case was scheduled for Aug. 28, according to court records.
Five Danvers police officers and a state police trooper went to the apartment complex, which is located near the junction of Route 1 and Route 62.
The district attorney's office said it appears Kehoe approached the officers holding a knife and made repeated attempts to stab at them. He ignored orders to drop the knife, and then, officials said, lunged toward officers.
"At this point, officers deployed lethal force to stop Kehoe," said Carrie Kimball Monahan, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, in a press release.
The officers, along with Danvers firefighters, went to his aid. He was taken to Beverly Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, said Monahan.
Monahan would not identify the officers and the trooper who were involved.
An autopsy will be conducted at the state medical examiner's office.
The officers, who are being interviewed, have all been placed on administrative leave pending the completion of an investigation, in accordance with department policy, said Monahan.

The word "salaryman" is a wasei-eigo (lit. "made-in-Japan English") term referring to a salaried male employee of a company. The word came into use in the Taisho Period (1912-1926) to describe the new professional class of company employees doing jobs we'd think of today as white collar, and in the postwar years these salarymen were responsible for Japan's economic miracle. The trademark of the salaryman is his conservative dark suit, called a sebiro in Japanese, which probably came from London's Saville Row region where the most famous men's clothiers were located at the time. But wearing suits in the summer is hot and uncomfortable, so every year the Japanese government begins a policy called "cool biz" to encourage government employees to dress casually so the air conditioning can be reduced. This year they're going a step further, introducing "super cool biz" which will allow employees to wear T-shirts, aloha shirts and jeans while they work, as Japan prepares for a difficult summer.
Japan's slarymen, they make for very entertaining train rides.

The menu options are limited, but
everything is executed very we. The tattered paper menus are off putting. Maybe they should use an old fashioned chalkboard or something of that nature. Friendly and timely service."

Varied wine list. Great "French"
feel. Great entrance & light fixtures."
Dined on 6/12/2014
As some other reviewers have
mentioned there is usually only one waiter working the whole house, which results in some very slow service if the restaurant is even slightly busy. The ambience was unimpressive, right next to a noisy bar and the odd table arrangement did not lend itself to the romantic atmosphere that I was expecting. I like to think of myself as pretty open-minded, but I couldn't bring myself to finish my order of lamb. It was covered in a sauce that was suspiciously reminiscent of A1, served with over-salted spinach and very cheesy potatoes. Not the sophisticated cuisine I'd been hoping for. Also, I would note that the menu is completely different than the one advertised online, and not nearly as "classically" French."

Used to love dining at cafe
absinthe but this recent visit was disappointing. They advertise valet parking online but we found out that is only on weekends so we were late for our reservation while finding street parking in busy Bucktown. They could only take us at 7pm and not our preferred 7:30 so we were nervous about arriving late. This wasn't a problem because it was empty so I wondered why the time wasn't available (2 weeks out). One bartender/hostess and one waiter both of whom were friendly. The food was great but the entree took unusually long to arrive, even though there were barely any other customers. I wonder if they had to go out and buy ingredients? I wouldn't return as I think this restaurant is past its prime."

Our waiter was very good, worked
efficiently and quickly. However, it appeared he was covering all of the tables and, therefore, did not have much time to allot to each table. Additional wait staff would benefit Cafe Absinthe greatly. "

1st time here. The food was very
good & decent-sized portions w/surprisingly good prices compared to other places of similar caliber we've been to. The drinks were just OK, not my favorite part of the meal. They were very busy that night & several staff members made a point of apologizing, even buying us a round of drinks. The tables are right on top of each other - understandable for the limited amount of space - not a big deal for us, but others might not like it. The decor is whimsical & attractive, however, the unisex bathroom was a bit messy, including a dirty toilet seat. Little details are the things that show a restaurant's age (20 yrs), some for good (food quality/portions) & some for bad (attention to cleanliness). "
Dined on 5/16/2014
We haven't been to this restaurant
for about 10 + years. The location was nice and the food was good but everything seemed like it hadn't changed since last time we were there. Food and Cocktails sytle seemed old to us - we wished that they had updated to keep with current trends. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
Service was terrible. We ordered a
cheese plate, delivered by the bus boy and no one even told us what was what on the plate. We saw our waiter when we ordered and when our main dish came- that was it. "

We met freinds for dinner, enjoyed
the beautiful presentations of food, so much to eat and drink. Acute young couple s were siiting at the table next to us. He puleds out a engagement saphire/ diamond ring, gets on his knee Camera phones going off- clapping the whole restaurant congratulated the happy couple! This is not the first time wonderful events occurred here.Food and service are wonderful in itself. The prices are great. Try it for yourself! i love the spinach salad( big enough to share_ feresh warm breads and the beef tenderloin and apple tart.my hisband loves trhe king size generous portions of scallops alls ered with sdes at no extra cost. the interior deco is so sothing , yet fits in the neighbrohood, "
Dined on 5/9/2014
I was just at CA the week before
so my review is probably still standing......ditto! Feels like one of those creaky old french bistros that you would find down a side street in Paris. The menu is not large, but what they do, they do very well. Unless you want pasta, there is something on this menu that you will love. Mussels, cheese plate, and crab cakes are all superb, with the salads and soups being what I believe they do the very best. "

Cafe Absinthe!! So tasty and classy."

Great food and recommendations.
Servers were friendly and as helpful as they could be."
Dined on 5/3/2014
Cafe Absinthe feels like an old
French restaurant in Paris with French inspired dishes and great service from a very casual and unpretentious staff. The salad and soups are fantastic. The entrees are limited, but very solid. They make their own bread and desserts. "
Dined on 5/1/2014
Great 1920's flare, with a very
modern price tag. Gourmet presentation, which means very small portions - not the place to go with a big appetite. "
Dined on 4/26/2014
We recently dined at Cafe Absinthe
(first time for me), 2nd time for my 2 guests. We found the overall quality of the food, presentation and service to be among the best we have ever experienced. Of all of the dishes, the Caesar salad arrived without enough dressing. Additional dressing was supplied quickly. Wonderful crostini accompanied the salad as well as white anchovies. Do not miss the asparagus and mushroom risotto!"

Very nice ambiance, a little on
the expensive side, beef tenderloin cooked very nicely but I wasn't a fan of the sauce.b"
Dined on 4/24/2014
We used a Groupon to eat here and
were very impressed. The entrance is not on North Ave but rather in an alley off of Damen. It took a few trips around the block to find a Pay to Park spot. The restaurant was partially filled on a Wednesday night at 7:30 pm. Our waiter was very enthusiastic about everything on the menu and we didn't feel very confident in his answers to our questions. We each got the French onion soup and it had a very good taste with lots of melted cheese. My friend had the lamb shank and I had the scallops. Both were delicious and larger than normal portions for a French restaurant. The wine list was very reasonably priced with a good selection. They gave us a free dessert for our birthdays. I definitely recommend it!"

We enjoyed the food very much. For
a Saturday night at 9PM, the restaurant was rather empty!"

We had a wonderful meal at Cafe
Absinthe. We remember eating here over 10 years ago, it was a pleasure to go back and find it still such a great place. Our server was excellent--offered a taste of two wines before we selected our glass (always appreciate it when a server offers that!), and paid careful attention to us because we told him we were heading to the theatre. Lamb, salmon were excellent. Delicious beet salad--one of the best I've had. We will be back and it won't take us another 10 years!"
Dined on 4/18/2014
Nice place, good food, fast
service. Recommended ! "
Dined on 4/15/2014
The restaurant is nicely set up
with tables spaced to allow conversation without being squeezed together with other tables. However the lighting is a bit too low (high ceilings and small candles). Service is friendly and attentive, but hampered by the wait time from the kitchen. We had fish and lamb, each slightly overcooked. If not perfect, it was OK. The entrance is a bit difficult to locate because it is not actually on North Ave. We will try this restaurant again perhaps on a different day or time."
Dined on 4/13/2014
Wonderful food and service,
moderate prices. Friendly staff, nice French atmosphere."
Dined on 3/30/2014
Upon walking in, we were greeted
with a warm candlelit ambiance and friendly staff. We were promptly seated and brought water, bread and butter. (The bread with the sunflower seeds on it was delicious)! Our server, Chris, was really helpful, didn't cringe when we mentioned we had a Groupon and gave superb service. The duck wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping but it was good all the same. My boyfriend had the salmon and he loved it. Overall my experience at Cafe Absinthe was great and I would certainly come back again."
Dined on 3/30/2014
Café Absinthe in Wicker Park
opened in the mid-90s, and is a piece of modern Chicago history. The country paté was very rich and the beet salad was generous: lots of beets and enough to split, although perhaps predictable in terms of the flavors. The sea scallops with mashed potatoes stood out as the best entrée; the duck--again a generous portion--was overcooked. The dessert menu was a throwaway (too bad). The wine list, however, was refined and affordable. While the ambience here is cozy and romantic, it was very dated (sponge painting and shabby chic). If Absinthe wants to keep up with the trends they started 20 years ago, they need to refresh their menu for a contemporary palate and consider a few updates to their amazing space."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Food and ambiance is great.
Service was poor (aside from the busboy and bartender, which was outstanding!) Wine selection was limited and grossly overpriced. Would think twice about going again for the price"
Dined on 3/20/2014
Food was carefully crafted and
fantastic. Service was attentive and warm, but not overbearing. Prices were less than I have paid before for equal or lesser quality elsewhere. Great atmosphere, Will absolutely be back."
Dined on 3/20/2014
We can no longer watch Absinthes
decline. Mussels were tiny and shells empty. Duck was overcooked. Drinks were missing. We left as soon as we could, as did other tables when drinks were never received. Servers were frazzled though trying. Bartender couldn't care less and served bar seated customers only. She was also training the hostess who was absent most of the time. Once we looked up and saw NO employees. Absinthe needs more staff, management and chefs who can do more than just cooking motions. Sad, but I don't want to come back to this again."
Dined on 3/14/2014
It still has the cool alley
entrance, but the food isn't quite as good as it once was"

Cafe Absinthe is a long-time
favorite restaurant. Never had anything here I didn't like. The wine list is adequate an affordable. Food is exceptional. Healthy portion sizes. And not overpriced. On a recent visit with a groupon, our service did not change from its usual. From the hostess, to bartender, to server and busters... Always great service, a friendly smile and the highest quality. I always have a great time and a great meal."

nice small portions so I didn't
feel stuffed when I left and it didn't seem unhealthy. great change of pace for bucktown"
Dined on 2/26/2014
A wonderful place to have a nice
dinner with my date. I loved the scallops and the wine selection was fun to read through. I enjoyed a nice glass from Bordeaux. The dinner was not rushed."
Dined on 2/26/2014
This is a neighborhood place with
excellent service. The food was delicious as was the wine (if the choices seem limited by the glass, it did not matter because they were delectable)... Service was far beyond expectations: very warm, friendly, and accommodating... and the music choices topped it off. Had a great experience."
Dined on 2/20/2014
If you want a wonderfully
delicious dining experience where the staff and ambiance will not disappoint for a nice romantic outing, then look no further… Cafe Absinthe offers everything you could want in a nice romantic setting. Sunday nights are great as the parking in the area is free that day. Do yourself and your significant other a favor and book a reservation! Just make sure you don't sit to close to the kitchen if you're looking to maintain the romantic ambiance as the kitchen lighting will destroy any aspect of the otherwise cozy romantic experience."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Great food and atmosphere. Kitchen
definitely knows what its doing. Room is energetic and tables close - like in larger European cities. Very fun, just be ready to meet your table neighbors! Wines are limited but select-able."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Excellent ambience but food was
average at best. Foie Gras was disappointing, caesar salad was solid and I had crab stuffed shrimp for an entree which was simply average."

A breakthrough in electric toothbrush technology! Unlike anything else on the market, the Tingletip fits directly on to your electric toothbrush (not over the top), producing orgasmic vibrations from start to finish!
Only: £9.99
Product Description
A breakthrough in electric toothbrush technology! Unlike anything else on the market, the Tingletip fits directly on to your electric toothbrush (not over the top), producing orgasmic vibrations from start to finish!
Make sure you keep your brush on charge because you never know when you'll need your Tingletip!
A powerful personal massager designed for clitoral stimulation.
Discreet, inconspicuous and unobtrusive, this is a device that is perfect for first time vibrator users or those who want to keep their pleasure a secret.
Smartly packaged, the Tingletip makes an ideal gift.
To use, remove your toothbrush head and replace it with Tingletip. Apply lubricant to the clitoral area before use.
After use, detach from your toothbrush and wash thoroughly in warm water.
Which electric toothbrushes are compatible with Tingle Tip heads?
Tingle Tip is compatible with most Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes except CrossAction Power and Sonic. If your toothbrush takes Oral-B ExtraSoft, FlexiSoft, or DualAction replacement toothbrush heads, then it will be compatible with Tingle Tip.
Which electric toothbrush would you recommend?
Any design which takes the normal replacement toothbrush heads. More expensive models often feature a pause every 30 seconds and/or 2 minutes to indicate you have cleaned your teeth for long enough! This pause is distracting, so we recommend one of the cheaper models without this timing feature!
How it measures up
- Length: 2.25 inches
- Circumference: 1.5 inches
How it feels
- Material: Plastic
- Flexibility: Rigid
- Waterproof: Splashproof
- Contains latex: No
- Contains phthalates: No

Very Powerful
Reviewed: 15 December 2013 by NovacaineDoll, a Gay Single Female
I have to admit that after reading somewhere that an electric toothbrush was a brilliant clit stim, I did start using mine to that purpose fairly regularly. I can't say that the bristles really did me any damage in terms of decreased sensitivity, but certainly after a while bristles can become quite uncomfortable.
My partner bought me the Tingletip as an early Christmas gift. It's amazing - totally harnesses all the vibration strength I'm used to without any irritation afterwards. For anyone who's never used an electric toothbrush as a vibrator - it will change your life!
It's totally easy to use, just pull of your ordinary toothbrush head and slot this one on instead. My toothbrush model does have the timer features so there is a break in vibrations every 30 seconds. I find this more exciting, whereas the partner finds it annoying, so it depends what you're into. If you don't already have an electric toothbrush though, the strength of the vibrations you'll get from this toy make it definitely worth buying one just for that!
It is fairly discreet and can be tucked away in a pocket or handbag without too much fear of someone discovering it. Obviously when in use it's as loud as your toothbrush, and they do tend to be fairly loud - however you can probably fool people into believing you're just cleaning your teeth (depending how many times a day you need to use it!).
Do use some lube with it otherwise it's going to be quite uncomfortable on your skin.
- Pros
- Strength of vibrations, convenient, discreet.
- Cons
- Loud when in use but that goes without saying.
- Bottom line
- Excellent, a must have for anyone with an electric toothbrush!

Love what this did to my girl
Reviewed: 09 March 2013 by tobes2003, a Straight Going Steady Male
Well don't write many reviews, but after seeing the reaction this had on my wife seemed only fair to let everyone else know.
We have always played with sex toys, with the rabbit always being her firm favourite. So when I saw this thought it would be fun to try and great to have for future holidays.
We had a couple of glasses of wine then treated my lady to a massage, then out came the Tingletip. I used it gently teasing all around her private parts for a couple of minutes before concentrating on her most sensitive part. Wow. I have rarely seen her get so aroused and flushed. Couple of minutes later and several orgasms later she was begging me to get inside her.
Great toy and did the job for my wife faster than any other toy ever has. Cannot see the wife forgetting to charge her toothbrush again.
- Pros
- Small, discreet, powerful and very effective.
- Cons
- It is noisy.
- Bottom line
- Great toy, must for holiday and home adventure.

Reviewed: 26 December 2012 by Twiglet, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Brilliant little vibrator that just attaches to your electric toothbrush.
The item just sounds like you are using your electric toothbrush - even more discreet if you are using it in the bathroom.
If your toothbrush has enough charge it can be really powerful, getting you to climax in a minute or two.
No motorised parts so can be taken on an aeroplane in carry on.
- Pros
- Easy to use. Discreet. Very powerful!
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Discreet, powerful and totally fantastic!
