Red Wine Chocolate Cake
September 1, 2011 at 1:26 pm 63 comments
Everybody has guilty pleasures.
For my mom it's a hot croissant, one with crispy edges that flake all over her lap. Maybe you have a friend like my floormate J-, who herds people out of the room on Tuesdays when Gossip Girl airs. Is it terrible to admit I sometimes sneak downstairs and swipe a spoonful of leftover hot fudge? I don't even reheat it or drizzle it over ice cream. Instead I eat it cold and truffle-y, straight from the fridge.
Recently, though, I've been obsessed with wedding blogs.
I especially love the photography. Close ups of the bride's shoes, a brilliant pop under the white hem of the dress. The color palettes, more flowers than I can name, the blown out look of Christmas light strings as the dancing begins. Every wedding is a fairy tale.
I'd never been to a wedding I could remember. So when my boyfriend I- invited me to his cousin's wedding at the end of August, how could I resist?
We arrived at the barn where the wedding was set. Because we were early, and because we were staying at the venue, I got to see first-hand the absolute mania that takes place before "I do."
The flower girl cried because she didn't like her hair, makeup running down her face. One aunt couldn't find her beige pumps, and another broke the lens of her glasses. A bridesmaid made a frantic last minute run for basil. Wedding photography never shows the groomsmen all distraught, mixing more pink lemonade, or the wind that keeps knocking vases over.
Despite everything, this wedding was beautiful. The couple looked happy, so truly in love, that misplaced napkins and creased dress pants didn't matter. The ceremony was short and sweet, everyone clapped, and we felt connected standing there in the sun.
I haven't seen the photographs yet, but here are some things I don't think they'll capture… The bride's unplanned thank you speech, which brought people to tears, or the square of star-flecked sky visible through the barn's window. The way I felt dancing with I- to the first song, the hum of crickets outside.
When we got home I noticed a new entry on my favorite wedding blog. I scrolled through the photos and couldn't help but smile. Not a hair out of place, every bouquet perfectly arranged, even the cupcakes looked done up. I still loved reading the post, but it didn't compare to the raw imperfection of a real live wedding.
I'm starting to think the same is true for food.
Food bloggers have the luxury of writing and photographing their own posts. I can pick the five prettiest cookies to stack for the opening image, and you'd never know that the rest of the batch came out like shapeless amoebas. If I burnt the first pan of caramel, I don't have to say so. You can't imagine the splatter of egg whites or the smudges of chocolate that end up all over the counter when I'm done cooking. There is no baker messier than I.
Enter this Red Wine Chocolate Cake. I almost didn't share the recipe. Not because it didn't taste incredible (it did) and not because it wasn't liked (not a crumb survived.) No, I almost didn't post out of vanity. The photos aren't very good.
This loaf is tight crumbed and soft as a lamb's ear. The color is so dark and rich, I expect flowers to bloom from it. The wine gives the chocolate a flavor that impressed everyone, something deep and complex and mystifying. And it tastes even better Day 2.
But none of that comes through in the photos. (In my humble opinion, they're kind of flat and ho hum. They don't make me want to open a bottle of wine.)
My excuses are that the light was poor, I was too lazy to reshoot, and that this everyday chocolate cake is plain to begin with. But let me tell you what the photographs don't show.
My disappointment when I smelled our buttermilk, and my recklessness when I decided to use merlot in the batter instead. My friend D-'s surprise as he tried to pin down the mystery ingredient. The thick, unashamed second slices my neighbors cut for themselves.
My mom's sneaky footsteps down the hall in the middle of the night, the click of Tupperware being opened and shut again, and quiet chewing as she returned to her room.
Guilty pleasure for sure.
The original recipe called for buttermilk. Our buttermilk went bad and we didn't have regular milk, so I couldn't sour it myself with lemon juice. I was about to use coffee as the liquid instead when I saw the bottle of Merlot.
Buttermilk is acidic. So is Merlot. I'm not an expert, but isn't red wine supposed to pair with chocolate? I don't know… maybe? Why not? I poured out the merlot and decided to use that instead. The final cake doesn't taste exactly like wine, though there are hints. So delicious.
I didn't use a quality red wine in this cake, but I did use the same excellent cocoa powder from the Red Velvet Cheesecake. It's a red-tinged Dutch-process cocoa, which results in a taller and prettier loaf. If you can only find Natural-process cocoa, leave out the baking powder and use 1/2 tsp baking soda.
Red Wine Chocolate Cake
Adapted from At Home With Magnolia Bakery (via Smitten Kitchen)
Makes a 9×5″ loaf
1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (6 7/8 ounces) firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (4 ounces) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (6 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (2 5/8 ounces) Dutch cocoa powder (see above for a natural cocoa adjustment)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Butter and flour a 9×5″ loaf pan.
Beat the butter on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugars and cream until lightened and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until well combined, then mix in the wine, yogurt, and vanilla. The batter might look curdled, but don't worry. Sift in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a spoon until there are no streaks of flour left, scraping down the sides of the bowl and being careful not to over mix.
Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and bake 60-70 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool the loaf in the pan on a rack for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and turn it out.

Looks delicious :)
I had an event at work today and decided to try making this in cupcake form. It was a hit! There were some store-bought chocolate cupcakes on the table and I'm happy to report that those went untouched and the double batch I made was completely devoured up in about 30 minutes. (I even saw someone go for thirds!!)
I LOVE the added flavor the wine makes. This is going to be my go-to recipe from now on for chocolate cake. Thanks SO much for sharing! ☺
This sounds like a really exciting recipe, I'd never even thought about putting wine into cake batter before! (:

these shoes are greate
Anna Rivett
These are the most comfortable and understatedly stylish skate shoes I have bought in my 20 or so years of skating; the cushioned ankle cuff allows for executing toe and foot stops effortlessly, without the rubbing you get from a cheaper canvas shoe, and what's more, they seem infinitely durable. Their natural tones are perfect for coordination with clothing of all kinds and colours, and for all kinds of social function... They wouldn't look out of place while worn on the school pick up, or even peeping out from under the hem of a bridesmaid's dress. Thank you Etnies- another great shoe!
Stephanie Calvillo Barragan
i love them
Nicolas Martinez
these are one the best shoes I've skated and rode in (BMX) they help give pop and impact and ona bike it just helps boost my confidence and good impact
I love the board feel i have in these they fit and feel amazing on your feet. I am extremely stoked on the inner lace guard you guys provided it is making my laces last a lot longer than i expected. i wish the laces were a tad bit shorter out of the box nothing a pair of scissors couldn't take care of though. If you want a great skate shoe id suggest grabbing these they'll last and they feel great
evan tate
every thing was as expected (awesome) the only complaint was that the bottom of the foot u push on, is the part the wars of the fastest, but with a little shoe glue these last a nice long time :) and for size, go for the larges size that fits your feet (i wear size 11.5 and 12 (with other shoes) and size 12 fit better, size 11.5 fit a little tight at first)
these shoes lasted me 7 mouths and i skate skate like every day they are so comfortable i will all ways stick to this skate shoe i love them so much
Tabitha Miller
Great value! My son loves them and is begging me for another pair. Definitely will be coming back for more!
Verhaert Charles
great shoes
Excellent shoe, I like it very much. It's a little bit tight around the ankle in the beginning, and the sole is a bit hard too, so give it some time to soften up.

Thursday, September 5, 2013 - 4:34am
(CNN) — After an extensive amount of build-up, Yahoo has finally unveiled its brand new logo.
Overall the look is cleaner and thinner, and it is a new sans-serif typeface created by Yahoo. The logo is still purple, though a shade darker, and features all the usual uppercase letters in the same order finished off by the signature enthusiastic exclamation point, which dances around in some versions. The new logo is probably not different enough to raise much ire (or eyebrows) among regular visitors.
Yahoo posted two flavors of the new look to its Tumblr at midnight on Thursday. One is white text on a purple background, the other purple text on white background. Both have a slight beveled effect, though it's more noticeable on the purple text. It has already replaced the logo that appears on the top left corner of Yahoo.com.
"We wanted a logo that stayed true to our roots (whimsical, purple, with an exclamation point) yet embraced the evolution of our products," the company said on Tumblr.
Yahoo managed to turn a simple rebranding into an impressive marketing push by dragging it out for 30 days. For the past month, the company has rotated out the logo on its homepage daily with one of the runners up. Some of the 29 logos were a lot more unusual there than the final choice, perhaps to make fans appreciate the reserved simplicity of the final look.
"Sharing these logo variations prepares people for change, so there's less risk of what happened to Gap," said David Airey, a graphic designer specializing in brand identity.
When Gap tried changing its logo in 2010, there was an outcry among Gap loyalists and logo enthusiasts. The clothing company eventually caved and switched back to its old logo.
Yahoo's logo redesign was headed up by an in-house brand design group and product designers, according to AdAge. It is likely just one of the more noticeable elements of a larger rebranding effort for the company.
"The logo is only part of a brand new branding and image campaign. It signals to consumers, investors and employees that change is coming," said Columbia business school professor Bernd Schmitt.
On Twitter, the reaction to the logo was less than enthusiastic. "The new Yahoo logo looks like it got run through Alien Skin Eye Candy on Photoshop 4.0.," said Justin Williams.
"A bad logo is all it took for Yahoo! to make everyone talk about it," tweeted Preshit Deorukhkar, editor of design publication Beautiful Pixels.
Yahoo hasn't updated its logo since 2009, and it has been mostly the same since 1995. The move to change it now is logical given its new CEO Marissa Mayer and her attempts to breath new life into the brand.
"More often than not, when a company's identity looks a little tired (or more likely when new leadership wants to put their own stamp on things), what's already in place won't need to be thrown out. It'll just need to be freshened up," said Airey.

Useful if you have a list of images called 1 2 3 4 and so on, you can adapt it to rewrite it as 4 (in this example) 0-padded number.

But if you can add an offset to the picture number and set the number of leading zeros in the file name's number then you can manage.

first off, if you just want a random UUID, here's the actual command to use:
Your chances of finding a duplicate after running this nonstop for a year are about the same as being hit by a meteorite before finishing this sentence
The reason for the command I have is that it's more provably unique than the one that uuidgen creates. uuidgen creates a random one by default, or an unencrypted one based on time and network address if you give it the -t option.
Mine uses the mac address of the ethernet interface, the process id of the caller, and the system time down to nanosecond resolution, which is provably unique over all computers past, present, and future, subject to collisions in the cryptographic hash used, and the uniqueness of your mac address.
Warning: feel free to experiment, but be warned that the stdin of the hash is binary data at that point, which may mess up your terminal if you don't pipe it into something. If it does mess up though, just type
I have this as a file called deletekey in my ~/bin.

This will show the amount of physical RAM that is left unused by the system.
One of the first functions programmers learn is how to print a line. This is my 100% bash builtin function to do it, which makes it as optimal as a function can be. The COLUMNS environment variable is also set by bash (including bash resetting its value when you resize your term) so its very efficient. I like pretty-output in my shells and have experimented with several ways to output a line the width of the screen using a minimal amount of code. This is like version 9,000 lol.
This function is what I use, though when using colors or other terminal features I create separate functions that call this one, since this is the lowest level type of function. It might be better named printl(), but since I use it so much it's more optimal to have the name contain less chars (both for my programming and for the internal workings).
If you do use terminal escapes this will reset to default.

Many questions about breast cancer screening remain unanswered, such as:
- What are the relative benefits and harms of mammography for women ages 75 and older?
- Why are interval breast cancers (tumors that are found in between scheduled screening examinations) often more aggressive and deadly?
- Why do some breast cancers progress quickly while others do not, and can some individual tumors regress even without treatment?
- Can gene or protein expression patterns of a tumor predict its aggressiveness?
NCI is currently funding many large-scale research projects addressing these questions, including:

By Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood.com Staff
How do you follow up your improbably successful hit about a foul-mouthed teddy bear? Make a movie in the genre that, of late, has been improbably successful: the Western. Yep, Family Guy mastermind, upcoming Oscar host, and Ted director Seth MacFarlane is next helming a Western comedy in the mode of Blazing Saddles called A Million Ways to Die in the West. And Hollywood.com has confirmed that its comedic pedigree just got a major boost, in that Charlize Theron is in final talks to star. She'll play an outlaw's wife who teaches an easily spooked farmer (MacFarlane) to shoot in order to win back his wife, who left him after a gunfight.
The Western lay fallow in Hollywood for so long that fans of sagebrush and saguaros have been particularly excited by the blockbuster success of a couple recent oaters: 2010's Coen Brothers remake of True Grit, which grossed $171 million domestically (off a $38 million budget!), and Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, which has scored $147 million since it's Dec. 25 release. That's a lot of money for your saddlebag. Not to mention that Disney looked to the Old West when they pinned their hopes on what could be their next big franchise-starter, The Lone Ranger (out July 3). Still two hit Westerns, and one hoped-for hit that's far from a sure thing, aren't enough for us to declare that Hollywood cinema's greatest, and most uniquely American, genre is ready for a full-fledged revival.
And make no mistake, the Western is Hollywood's greatest genre. It's the summing up of American mythmaking, a dusty canvas on which filmmakers have interrogated the ideals and values, compromises and crimes that make up the American character and have defined this country's history. Far from being some retrograde idealization of a violent, even genocidal time, the best Westerns like She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Ride Lonesome, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Unforgiven don't seek to escape into the past but use history to explain the present. They also just tell damn good stories. So are cowboys and outlaws really set for a comeback? Well, excuse the pun, but we'll have to hold our horses. Here are four reasons why the recent crop of Western hits may not signal a lasting revival.
1. The Lone Ranger
Yes, Disney has invested a lot of faith in this project. A reported $250 million worth of faith. That's a production budget that's going to be extremely difficult to recoup. It has likable stars Armie Hammer as the titular masked avenger and Johnny Depp as his Native American sidekick Tonto and a classic premise time-tested on radio and TV. But Disney recently spent $200+ million on another film with a classic premise, John Carter, a bomb so big the company ended up cleaning house at its movie division. Not to mention that Lone Ranger director Gore Verbinski's last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies were pretty much the definition of bloated, CGI-larded excess. If The Lone Ranger fails reports of shooting delays aren't promising it'll stop the Western's revival right in its tracks. And even if it's a hit, what success it achieves will be difficult to duplicate. It's not like there are many other instantly recognizable Western franchises like Lone Ranger just waiting to be resurrected. You also have to recognize that the best Westerns of recent years have come from directors with a vision. And we all know...
2. ...Directors With a Vision Can Be Hard To Come By.
True Grit had the Coens. Django Unchained had Tarantino. But for every hit like either of those, there are multiple non-auteur duds like Appaloosa, The Missing, or The Alamo. The Coens and Tarantino already have fans who will come out to see anything they do. And no wonder. Because they're able to tap into the inherent flexibility of the genre and make it completely their own, not just homages or nostalgia trips. How many other directors are there waiting to contribute something really new and valuable to the Western? Maybe MacFarlane can be that director if he can actually make a comedy that deconstructs the Western without merely replicating what Blazing Saddles did 40 years ago.
NEXT: Like with today's movie musicals, concept is everything when it comes to making successful Westerns.[PAGEBREAK]
3. Concept
If Lone Ranger is a success, and it very well could be, it might be because much of today's audience is already familiar with the story. Not that they know anything about the old Lone Ranger radio and TV shows, mind you. But because its concept, the sole survivor of a gunned-down posse of Texas Rangers is restored to health by a friendly Native American then dons a mask to avenge his fallen companions, is pretty much the essence of the vengeful, messianic superhero that's come to define contemporary pop culture. There really isn't that much of a difference between the Lone Ranger and Batman. And audiences are smart of enough to recognize that, meaning that the same people who love the big screen's caped crusaders could go for it.
To be really successful in today's Hollywood a genre film like a Western needs to have an instantly graspable concept. True Grit was a revenge flick, and a remake of a film at least some part of the audience already knew about. Django Unchained projects very contemporary views about racism and the horrors of slavery onto the Western. It's like what Alan Menken told Hollywood.com recently for an essay about the difficulty audiences today have suspending disbelief for musicals: ""Years ago, Howard Ashman [Menken's lyricist on Little Shop of Horrors] believed you should be able to say about a musical that 'This is the blank musical.' Little Shop is 'the monster musical.' Dreamgirls is the 'Motown girl-group musical.' People like the form to be ruffled up and reinvented. To be something familiar, but with a twist."" Really, there are only so many concepts like that to be used. Which is perhaps why, though the Hollywood musical got revived with the one-two punch of 2001's Moulin Rouge! and 2002's Chicago, musicals have only been released intermittently since. It'll probably be the same for the Western, even if The Lone Ranger is a big hit: one major Western every couple of years and maybe even more infrequently.
4. It's an expensive genre
Unless it's High Noon or the first act of Johnny Guitar, most good Western need to be shot outside and on location. That can be expensive. Not to mention that it's harder and harder to find places to shoot that can stand in convincingly for the Old West. It's just easier to go with CGI.
I hope I'm wrong about all this. The popularity of the Western has proven to be oddly cyclical over the years. Popular in the silent era, it became a disreputable genre with the coming of sound and only got catapulted back to A-List filmmaking with John Ford's Stagecoach in 1939. Then by the '60s, it had died out again, only to be revived by Italian producers and directors. If we're lucky, we're on the cusp of another great era for the Western. But I'll only believe it when it actually happens.

CHILLY OR FLAT COLD, a baby calf needs additional nutrients to meet body maintenance requirements. And even more nutrients are needed if the calf is to gain weight once temperatures have dropped below 60° F. With winter approaching, Dianne Shoemaker, Ohio State University Extension dairy specialist reminds dairy producers that, while traditional milk replacer feeding recommendations of one pound of DM per day-usually fed as two bottles with 8 ounces of powder each-will allow a calf to gain a half pound/day in warm weather. Calves need 50 percent more milk replacer DM to meet maintenance requirements (neither gaining nor losing weight) when the temps turn to 32° F, she adds that additional milk replacer must be fed beyond that if we expect calves to grow.

BY M. L. ELRICK FOX 2 INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- With its impressive campus, 5,000 seat football stadium, and motto "To the Greater Glory of God," it's easy to see why parents would want to send their kids to Prestonwood Christian Academy. What's not so obvious is why Kwame and Carlita Kilpatrick, who fled Detroit and its struggling schools, think the folks back home should help foot the bill for the private high school's tuition of $16,000 per student.Nevertheless, Carlita Kilpatrick sent out letters asking people to help raise $20,000 to cover tuition for her teenage twins.Carlita wrote in a letter that "Tuition ... is $32,000 and we are receiving $13,500 in financial aid. We are still in need of about $20,000 and would like to ask you for some assistance .... Any financial assistance you would be able to provide would be a blessing to us."Before we discuss Carlita Kilpatrick's justification for her solicitation, we want to make it clear that no one is saying that her children are not entitled to a quality education. This story is not about the kids.It's about Kwame and Carlita Kilpatrick's continuing sense of entitlement and their continuing efforts to live beyond their means while hiding assets that could be used to pay off the $850,000 in restitution the former mayor still owes the City of Detroit.But paying back the people of Detroit isn't the only issue. Former state parole board member Paul Condino says it looks like the Kilpatricks are pulling a fast one."This is a concerted effort on the mayor's behalf and his family to skirt what I believe are the orders of the court," says Condino.Kilpatrick has essentially been under house arrest since last week after we aired a video of his visit to a Macomb County Walmart where he cashed a wire transfer sent by a Chicago pastor. Kilpatrick now says he regrets failing to report the $2,000.After parole agents met with Kilpatrick, the former mayor disclosed other contributions and provided state officials with a tuition solicitation letter similar to the one I obtained.In both letters, Carlita Kilpatrick writes that her family has suffered enough.Carlita Kilpatrick wrote, "During Kwame's nearly seven year tenure as mayor, we were blessed to be able to afford and expose our children to positive educational experiences. But since his forced resignation, subsequent incarceration and onslaught of continuous media harassment, our family has had to make huge adjustments not only to our lifestyles, but to our lives."Maybe so, but the Kilpatricks haven't exactly lived in squalor. Their current home outside Dallas is an impressive place even larger than the Manoogian Mansion.Still, there's no question the text message scandal I helped uncover in 2008 rocked the Kilpatricks. Jim Schaefer and I showed how the mayor ruined the careers of three good cops and used $8.4 million in city money to cover up an affair.Kilpatrick ultimately resigned in disgrace after admitting to obstruction of justice, spent 99 days in jail, then violated probation and did 18 months in prison for hiding assets that could have been used to pay his restitution bill.Condino says he believes the solicitation letter is a parole violation. But the real problem is that the Kilpatricks still don't seem to understand that there are rules they need to follow whether they like it or not."It appears to be an ongoing pattern," says Condino.
While state corrections officials aren't happy with the Kilpatricks, they say they don't view Carlita Kilpatrick's letter as a parole violation. But they are continuing to find out all the ways the former mayor has been getting money without their knowledge.
On Friday, Kwame Kilpatrick released the following statement regarding this story:
"In my efforts to fully cooperate with the MDOC investigation, I provided this letter along with an explanation of its substance. Our children were presented with an opportunity to attend one of the best schools in the country. The letter was sent to two (2) individuals. We decided, as a family, that our children would not attend the school. We called the 2 individuals and told them of our decision, to not have our boys attend the school. No donations were needed at that point. No donations were received. This explanation was also sent to the MDOC, as an attachment to the letter when it was voluntarily provided. Unfortunately, the explanation was apparently not released with this item from the MDOC "internal" investigation."

Illegal immigrants, using fake papers or assuming a fake identity to work or go to school. While many are charged with identity theft, as FOX 10's Jill Monier found out, some never knew they were stealing an identity or were even "illegal" to begin with.
21-year-old Estefania Rosas spent 8 months in Estrella Jail.
Like many teens, Rosas started looking for her first job at 15. A family member gave her what she thought was her social security card.
"I didn't know the social was fake," says Rosas. She didn't find out until she started applying for colleges her senior year in high school.
Rosas grew up in America, thinking she was an American. The biggest shock she got was finding out she wasn't.
"I hit a depression at that point… I never thought I was like 'illegal,' you know?"
Her parents brought her to America as an infant and never told her she was born in Mexico.
"I grew up thinking I lived here, you know, I had no reason to ask."
But 3 years later, the 21-year-old still had the fake ID with her, she says, collecting dust.
"I just left them in my wallet, I forgot about it."
In November, Rosas was arrested when a deputy found the fake document during a traffic stop. She was charged with felony forgery and identity theft. Lance Wells is her attorney.
"That was a very common thing. Family got identification, the children got it and used it until they discovered it wasn't valid, if they ever did discover that. Unfortunately some discover it when they get criminal charges pressed against them," says Wells.
Wells says another man he represented was in his 40s when he discovered he was here illegally, only after being arrested.
"Married, had children, going along just fine, a professional, discovered when he applied for a passport his birth certificate was fake. His parents were quite elderly, they said oh yeah we forgot to tell you you're not a U.S. citizen."
Wells said they were able to prove the man didn't know the documents were fake. But Rosas' case was different.
The felonies she was charged with were so severe, she was not allowed to post bond. She was facing deportation if convicted.
"I don't know, it was just hard on me," says Rosas.
Instead of waiting in jail until a trial, she pleaded guilty to reduced misdemeanor charges and was released. But Wells believes prosecutors could be more lenient.
"Charges, for example, brought against these people could be dropped to a lower level so that they qualify to post bail and get out of jail, so we're not using the jail as a holding facility for non-criminal immigrants."
Wells says many with fake IDs use made-up social security numbers that don't belong to anyone to work or go to school.
"Obviously with no intent to defraud anybody."
But others say people's identities are stolen and they become victims of crime. The county attorney's office wouldn't go on camera but a spokesperson issued a statement saying: "The County Attorney has made it clear that our office does not base prosecutorial decisions on an individual's residency status but on an individual's conduct. Identity theft is a serious crime in Arizona and has triggered strong public demand for tougher enforcement. As a result... Arizona has dropped from having the highest rate of identity theft complaints in the country in 2008, to the 8th highest today."
As it turns out, Rosas was granted deferred action the day she was arrested for having the fake ID.
"I just got out, got my social and I started working. My real social now this time," says Rosas.
She's now working legally at a warehouse.
"It feels amazing knowing I can work, provide for myself, help my family."
Recently, local attorneys have been successful in persuading immigration and customs enforcement not to deport some immigrants who were caught using fake IDs to work.
Rosas has plans to go to college now. She wants to be a mechanical engineer.

Daryl Gilliam of State Farm Insurance Agency in Southfield talks to Fox 2's Murray Feldman about what to do in the event your home is damaged by a weather event.
Play the video to get Gilliam's advice.
Steps to take if your property is damaged. By Staff writer State Farm™ Employee
The period following a natural disaster can be disorienting and dangerous. The following steps will relieve some of the uncertainty and help you stay safe, secure your property, and begin the claims process in the aftermath of a major event.
Wait for an all-clear announcement before leaving your home or shelter. Then, check yourself and the people around you for injuries, applying first aid and seeking further assistance as necessary. Restrict telephone use to emergency calls.
Use your emergency water or boil tap water before drinking until you are told the water supply is safe. Food that came in contact with water may be contaminated and should be discarded. Check refrigerated food for spoilage.
If you must travel, stay away from downed utility lines; washed out, flooded, or debris-filled roads; collapsed or deteriorated bridges and crumbling buildings. If flooding is a potential hazard, stay away from rivers and streams.
Visually inspect your home for structural damage and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. For example, board up holes with plywood and cover leaks with plastic sheeting.
If it is safe to enter your home, check your water heater and appliances for damage and safety hazards, such as gas leaks and electrical problems. Do your checking with a flashlight, not matches or candles, to prevent igniting leaking gas or other combustible substances. If you smell gas, open windows and turn off the main valve. Don't turn on lights and appliances until the gas has dissipated and the system has been checked. If electric wires are shorting out, turn off the power. If your power is out, unplug all devices to prevent damage from an electrical surge.
Once the structural damage has been addressed, begin salvaging your furnishings and possessions. Dry and clean saturated floors, carpets, furniture, and clothing as soon as possible. Separate items that can be cleaned or repaired from those that will be discarded.
If a major disaster was declared for your area, federal housing assistance may be available. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers post-disaster housing programs. Otherwise, organizations such as the American Red Cross may offer help. You may want to explore other options, but it's usually best not to enter a long-term lease until you talk to a claim representative. If you're a State Farm customer, access the online claim center.

For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served. On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

Hi ladies. Sorry for my sporadicism (if that is a word, the red underline is telling me that it's not but, meh, who cares!) around here lately.
I have been "thinking too much" probably for the past few months and just consumed with things floating around in my head. I forget to mention I did not get into the schools I applied to earlier this year. I didn't think I would, so it was not a let down or anything like that, so no sorry's needed. I have been invited to attend some MBA Q/A sessions as a result of speaking with quite a few people in our area in regards to grad school, and will be going to GA Tech tomorrow to look into doing an evening MBA. I don't know if I want to go there so I hope I get some good information, but I had decided upon applying to the other schools that if I didn't get in I would look into expanding my knowledge base for my current position so I am looking to focus on supply chain management, logistics, and operations with an MBA. My current position is government and we are going through some shake ups in regards to government procurement for HUD in that my current certification may not be relevant soon, so I would like to learn more about private sector procurement especially in technology and manufacturing sectors and I have concluded that an MBA from a reputable school with a good network will be of great service to me with these career endeavors. This portion of my "too much thinking" is not all that bad in that I like thinking of learning new things and challenging myself career-wise.
Unfortunately my DH has been working my nerves a whole lot. I have shared with you all that my DH is a trip and that even though I love him deeply he is exasperating for me to deal with so I have always known that eventually I would get sick of him and leave him. He has been a major source of stress for me over the past year and a half actually and it seems he will respond to my very plain, direct, logical request for a while and behave accordingly, then revert back to his old behavior. Oddly enough, even though he still works my nerves personally, I have come to really focus on him and his speaking to our son. He is a lot like the way some of you ladies described your families in that he rarely, if ever says anything positive about our son. And that wouldn't be so bad except he had gotten to a point recently where he was repeatedly telling Ky that he "acts like he is retarded/an idiot/dumb" and so I have had to blow up on him and it has done some damage for us, but I am not going to stand by and let him abuse my child. I actually wanted to physically hit him and as a last ditch effort, I have agreed that we can go to some marriage counseling. I did calm down with him and really explained how he, DH, was physically abused by people in his life as a boy and criticized constantly. Granted, DH is not physically abusive but he is super hyper critical, he, like your DBF Bridget, likes to complain constantly about me cleaning, he takes it further and complains about my looks, my skin, my parenting, my personality, my humor, my friends (or what he considers my lack of friends IRL as I only have about 2 close friends), my "squareness" (in that I don't drink or party), and he goes on and on and on. Even though I had a rough upbringing, I was always told by relatives, even my mom many times and she was not that great of a mom, that I was a very unique, wonderful, intelligent, beautiful person. I have never been called an idiot, or stupid, or dumb, or retarded and it is just amazing and angering to me that my own husband would even utter such words to my wonderful, unique, intelligent, beautiful son. And I have been thinking and shared with DH that it is really getting to me, his criticisms as I have been questioning myself and it has even made me take a step back and realize that he is causing me to critique my own self much too much and I feel that my confidence has started to be eroded, only a slight bit (as I think I am the sh*t if I don't say so myself), but especially in regards to the way I look as I am really trying to take it slow to lose the 30lbs I gained when I was so stressed out at my last job and just try to train myself to eat better and slow down in all aspects of my life. And him criticizing me so much has hurt me very deeply, it really opened my eyes to him criticizing Ky and it made me feel like I am not protecting him enough. Ky thinks his dad feels he does nothing right, he is always saying his dad will "yell at him" about practically everything and horrible as it is, he is right, his dad does yell too much. So I did have a heart to heart with DH and he has stopped for the past month. I am considering leaving him, very much past considering actually and if he doesn't change his critical behavior I feel for him because he will be heartbroken. FYI, DH and I usually get along really good and he is usually good with both the kids, he is only an ass probably 15% of the time, when he used to be one about 40% of the time, so he has gotten much better, but he was never like this with Ky and Ky is getting to an age where he needs a lot of attention, much more now than when he was a baby, he is becoming a young man and I feel I have to nurture him and ensure he remains confident in himself and his abilities and if I, someone who most consider vain, can start to erode my own confidence under the critiques of this man who by all measures has more faults and failures than all of us ladies put together, so he has no right to criticize anyone IMO, I can only imagine how him criticizing an always wanting to impress/please 11 year old boy could cause said boy's confidence to be murdered and I will not allow it to happen. We spoke about 5 weeks ago, DH and I about this, and I confess that I have been watching/listening to DH like a hawk around Ky as any sort of out of the line criticism on his part will probably lead me to take rash, immediate actions.
Like the great Myles alluded to on a previous page - hows that for a confession!
Sorry Suja for the long paragraph. If it helps, I love your internet personality and have never seen you as scary or brash. You actually remind me of my IRL personality, but people do think I am mean and "blunt" IRL, so go figure...
Erin, I just saw that you posted, but I don't have time before dinner to read it - will come back for that.
xxx edited out!xxxxx
I don't know - the flirty stuff is making me uncomfortable. And I guess I am annoyed with him because he had the better part of 7 years to make a move and at any point in those 7 years he could have made an effort to ask me out, but instead, ten years later he is flirtily messaging me when my dh is out of the country? Not that he would know that last part, but it's making me feel more uncomfortable about this whole thing. Ugh

"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I'm sorry about your DH, Erin. You are strong, and I'm so glad you're standing up for Ky.
Myles, if a hairless cat is part of the deal, I don't want to be a super villain. I'm kinda skeeved out by them.
Whew! Finally caught up with three pages of mega-posts!
Some random thoughts (as I'm sure most of what I intended to say is completely gone):
1. Myles, you wrote that post from your iPhone? Seriously? You wrote that post from your iPhone?
2. Suja, of all the "secular" girls, I vote you most likely to be a Bond Villain. Because you're just cool that way.
Honestly, you do come across as intimidating and as I am shy, IRL I might have been afraid to get to know you. I am SO glad I did get to know you online, because you're totally worth it. And not scary at all. But I promise I won't tell Bond that.
3. I socialize with very few men. Because I work for the school district, men I see regularly (meaning more often than every two weeks or so) are limited to:
-the school psychologist assigned to my site, who is 60ish and extremely quiet. He smiles politely when we pass each other in the corridor, listens intently when I have conversations with his SLP partner who is a friend of mine, and very rarely inserts a wickedly humorous comment that I never in a million years saw coming. 99% of the time he is a total professional.
-and our janitor, who is about 80, deaf as a post, and spends most of his interactions trying to determine why people unlocked various gates that he now has to go lock. I listened to a lengthy rant the other day about how one of my colleagues had the temerity to be at work at ten minutes to six on a Friday night. How DARE she? Didn't she know he had to lock up the building after she left? Clearly he had to report such conduct to our administration.
Otherwise, the only men I see are parents of the children I evaluate, and I don't have ongoing interactions with them. Ooh, and today we got to see a couple of paramedics. I think Gayle was more excited by that than I was.
All of that a long-winded way of saying that because I have so little interaction with the opposite sex, I think the opportunity for me to fall into something like an emotional affair if I DID ever come across someone who interested me might be that much greater because the opportunity would be so rare. Because of that, I tend to be careful about my relationships with the men in my life. I would feel the same way about DH. But I think if I worked in a profession that was male-dominated, it would possibly be different for me in that I would have regular interactions with guys who I might find attractive and interesting, but had practice in just keeping it at a friendly/professional level. I don't get that practice. In short (err...long), I would be leery of random emails from exes wanting friendship or similar. Kate, your situation in particular does sound off-putting.
Erin, I know you must have put a lot of thought into your situation with DH. I am sorry you have reached this point and hope it can come to a better resolution.
I'm sure there is much more I meant to say, but it is gone.
As for me, we had a lot of drama today. A coworker stopped by to ask me a question about some paperwork and was dizzy and shaking. She said she had to put her head down between her knees, and when we offered her some water, she had a hard time holding the cup. I called our school nurse (RN) and asked her to check out my friend, and she insisted we call 911. So as mentioned above, we got to see the paramedics. I was actually really impressed with their handling of the situation - slow and calm and got down to her level and just asked her to tell them what was going on. Turned out to be a combination of very low blood pressure and an anxiety attack. They offered to take her to the hospital but she refused and they felt she was probably fine. A whole lot of drama that I didn't need! I worry about her. She is in her 60's and has a history of cancer and kidney disease. She doesn't make a lot of money and her position has been cut for next year so she'll be losing her medical insurance.

Erin, my heart is broken for Ky! Thank goodness you are such a warrior for him. I can really feel your angst and it makes me angry at your dh. I also can feel the eroding of my self worth at times and I have to give myself a proverbial smack upside the head and remind myself he is full of it. I know you will make the best decision for your family but I hate that you have to face this.
Erin... I'm sorry your DH is so hurtful! Do you feel like it's a difficult decision whether or not to work it out with him at this point? Ky does NOT deserve that verbal abuse. Is Elle affected at all yet by your DH's criticism?
Erin, I'm so sorry that he is being so mentally abusive to Ky. Do you think he realizes that his behavior is not helpful? And does he realize that if he doesn't permanently change it that you will leave him?
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I guess I have a reputation to uphold now. And I won't be doing it by chatting up random people in checkout lines. I wonder how a super villain is supposed to act, when she's not being all villain-y.
Suja - I don't think you are villain-y! I remember when I used to do comedy I used to have people tell me that I was scary. I think that people are sometimes uncomfortable with a woman who speaks directly to a problem, who doesn't dance around it or couch it in nice terms to try to soften it. I remember being really puzzled by being called scary or intimidating because I was just normal I thought.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I think that you might be right. And it might speak to how we are brought up to believe people of specific genders should act. I will admit to being more plainspoken online than I am in RL.
I definitely felt that in comedy. I actually had one (drunk) girl come up to me after a show and tell me that no woman would ever go up on stage and talk the way I just did. As if I was just a guy comic in girl disguise? Weird. One guy I knew who was in the scene for a while peripherally (an actor who was hanging out with comedians - not a big name now but you have seen him in several HBO shows in bit parts) who I like a lot told me once that he wanted to ask me out but he was scared of me. And that was that- he never did ask me out. A woman who is unafraid of speaking clearly can be threatening I guess.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Suja, you're not really scary. Just whip-smart. You get to the bottom of things, and you're concise. So I can imagine that if some guy was dithering around trying to flirt with you, you'd put him in his place easily. That could be a little intimidating. It's really a good thing, though. Thanks for the sweet words. I am wonderful, it's true.
Myles, I'm sure you're right on about the full-time mommy thing stealing my mojo. I know I'll feel better when I'm able to play music again regularly and find my niche here. And I appreciate your reassurance re your dh's job and mine. I don't really worry that he'll cheat on me. We're very happy together, and he's a great family man. I think sometimes I just feel daunted by what he gets to do while I sort of spin my wheels in the mud. Today, for example, I took Noe to dance class, took her and a neighbor boy to the pool, picked up dd1 from school, did some housework. He spent a couple of hours hanging out with Darren Aronofsky.
But honestly, I know it's silly to compare. He enjoys his work and he comes home happy to us, and he gives himself to us 100%. And I've been handling the more heavy part of the childcare and home load, but soon Noe will be in school and I'll be able to stretch my wings a little, and it'll even out. Thanks for the encouragement.
And Erin, I can't say anything better than the ladies above have said, but I'm sorry you're in that position. It's really a tough one. Poor Ky.
I was in an emotionally abusive marriage. I tried hard to work it out, and if it had just been about me I could have tried longer. But it was when it became clear that it was affecting my girl that I had to say "enough" and get out. It's a terrible place to be -- those kinds of decisions are so hard to make. But you are so smart and sensible and have your head screwed on straighter than just about anyone I know, so if anyone can deal with it in the way that is best for everyone involved, it's you.
I'm not telling! You wouldn't recognize his face or his name - just bit parts in some things.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I just don't want to mention his name and have this thread be searchable.
I will confess that I love to eat frozen waffles still frozen, straight from the freezer. I thought JoJo was crazy when she was tiny and she insisted they still be frozen when she ate them but I'll be darned if they aren't better that way.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
We prefer the Central market brand Blueberry Buckwheat, though any blueberry waffle will do in a pinch. I don't know how just plain waffles would be.

The waffles in my freezer are actually blueberry. I think they're Eggo, though.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
It occurs to me that it might be just that I am really limiting my carb/bread intake and maybe I just think they are good because they are the only sweet bread type thing I have had in the past few days.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Great, my super villain power is that I'm blunt. I suppose I could be mean to Bond on FB and make him cry.
And M can be your ninja assassin, dressed in her not-to-code martial arts outfit. I assume there's pink involved?
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I looooovvveeee blunt, outspoken women. Not rude women who use bluntness as an excuse to just be mean and get that chip off their shoulders, but people who say it like it is, good or bad. Spinach in your teeth? No fear that you'll go half the day because they're afraid of telling you. Something that you did that they felt was outstanding? They say that, too. Maybe part of it is that I'm not so good at the undercurrents, so I really appreciate people telling me the unvarnished truth, or maybe it is because I'd rather hear the worst than worry about things that may not be true, or find out later that I was oblivious to things that should have been obvious. Anyway, I have not gotten that feeling of intimidation from any of the outspoken women here, nor do I find it less than feminine or less than appealing.
To much to write and not enough time. I might have to wait until a non-work day. I've been listening to all of you, but my deadline (er, DHline) is calling me.
Gwenn, your day really was dramatic. I hope it's been all-unwind time since then. I'm going to put myself to bed. L has me beat on 2 hrs, but I operated on 4 all day today.
Speaking recently of "butthurt", mine hurts baaaad because I ran 5.5 miles on my lunch break today. I've kept running since my half marathon last year, but only small distances. Now I'm running a 12k (7.5 miles) on Sunday, and I confess, I'm cramming in the mileage. Not the best approach to training, but upping my miles a bit today will make the long run better. I'll only do a short run on Friday to stay prepped. Hope I can sleep when I feel I might have pulled my groin. :/
Oh yes, and Katy, I think that guy is being a bit forward. You alluded to this already, but the guy has to know that he's rocking your boat, and it's all fine and dandy from his safe perch. And I think I already said it in here before: blatant flirtation crosses a line with me, especially if the guy seems to be intonating that he thinks I'd actually follow through with any of it. Are you starting to feel skeeved out by him, K?

I was a wee bit disappointed that the edges were NOT turned under but raw cut. But, for the price, maybe my expectations were too high. Good canvas and very flat and a heck of a deal. I will order again.
