AMAZING!! THEY STAY SOFT!!! I WAS PREVIOUSLY USING PAULAS RECIPE but they would get hard after an hour so I Decided to switch to Rees. these are the best ever and I'm not exaggerating you have to try them ,u have to try them. Will not dissapoint!!!

Made these last night-- I was shocked at how easy the recipe was. A little messy, but so worth it. It took me a bit to figure out just how big the rolls should be-- just trial and error, but was very pleased with how well they rose and filled the pan, so don't crowd them at all. Also definitely give the dough time to chill before working with it. Absolutely delicious and decadent. Thanks so much Ree!
So very good and easy to make!!! I ended up with 38 nice size rolls, really loved the texture and taste. I took some to work and the response I received was WOW!! This is now my favorite cinnamon roll recipe, I am replacing the one I have been using for close to 30 years.
Thank you Ree for all of your wonderful recipes and tips. Love the show!!! -

I'm in the process of making these for the third time. To my husband and me, these are just about perfect...without the sauce on top. We prefer a cream cheese/butter sauce. Love to spread them around to friends~they bring bright smiles!

Wonderful cinnamon rolls- definitely holding on to this recipe; however, I did make a few small changes. Didn't use the full amount of butter or sugar (and after eating the end product, I did not feel like I was missing out! and I also added some vanilla to the melted butter before spreading onto the rolled out dough- probably about a tablespoon or so. They are perfectly delicious as is but would also be great with a little pumpkin or apple puree rolled in!
These were AMAZING, and much easier to make than I thought. I am not a baker, but found these pretty simple! A+ Great gift for neighbors and friends!

These turned out exactly as expected, perfect! I halved the recipe, and inadvertently used 1/2 c sugar in my filling instead of 1c and they were still sweet enough. Great texture. Think I would use softened butter next time as melted is quite messy. They were really foolproof.
I made vanilla frosting instead of maple. Will try cream cheese frosting next time. -

perfection. they are delicious and gooey and NO ONE can eat just one. add a hot cup of coffee and you have landed in heaven. i made this last Christmas to give away as gifts (just like ree to neighbors, friends and anyone who stopped by. we also wanted to always have some in the house for us throughout the holidays. i doubled this recipe so i had a TON. it was so successful, i will be doing it again this Christmas. it was a little cumbersome doubling the recipe...i had to use my gigantic lobster pot as a place for the dough to rise. this year i might just do the PW recipe twice instead. i plan on making them earlier in december than i did last year, then freeze them. i really can't wait to taste them again.

Fears of pollution in Wandle after major fire at Beddington sewage works
9:40am Wednesday 22nd August 2012 in Sutton By Matt Watts and Omar Oakes
Work is taking place to avoid an environmental disaster after a major fire at Beddington sewage works last night.
The Environment Agency and Thames Water are on site taking measures to stop damage from sewage it is believed is flowing into the Wandle as a result of the fire at the Thames Water site.
Fifteen fire engines and up to 75 firefighters tackled the blaze, with flames up to 30ft in height, engulfed 80 per cent of the building,which measures 70 metres by 50 metres, Beddington Lane.
Video by Kingsley Hamilton
A spokesman for Thames Water has confirmed that a number of dead fish have been found in the Wandle this morning after an outbreak of sewage.
He said: "We have been dealing with a major fire at Beddington sewage works in Croydon overnight which left the site without power. This has now been restored.
"Fortunately, no one was injured but this did affect the quality of the effluent discharging into the River Wandle before we got alternative power supplies running.
"The Environment Agency has been on site helping to limit the impact on the river but regretfully, a number of dead fish have been found.
"We are still investigating the cause of the fire and will be working with the Wandle Trust to monitor the effect on wildlife."
An Environment Agency spokeswoman added: "We are out on site and we have been working throughout the night."
Equipment has been used to pump oxygen into the river to try and combat any damage.
A statement published on the Wandle Trust website last night said: "We have just had reports that a fire at Beddington Sewage Treatment Works this evening has knocked out their power systems.
"As a result sewage cannot be properly treated and is flowing into storm tanks; once these are full the untreated sewage will be discharged to the Wandle.
"Thames Water and the Environment Agency are on site ready to respond by helping to elevate oxygen levels in the river.
"This will help to minimise any harm to fish and other organisms.
"At this stage we don't know how severe any impacts from the anticipated pollution may be."
Firefighters were called to the scene at 6.34pm, and the fire was under control by midnight.
Video by Jamie Hibbert
A fire investigation team is currently on site finding out what caused the blaze, which has caused major damage to the building. Police are currently treating the fire as non suspicious.
On arrival, firefighters carried out an initial sweep of the building and found no one trapped inside. They had begun to fight the flames from inside the building but concerns about the structure, and a lack of water pressure, meant the decision was taken to continue to fight the flames from outside.
A firefighter at the scene said the main reason so many fire crews were needed was to assist in getting water to the fire, because of the distance from the water hydrant in Beddington Lane to the sewage works.
Ladder equipment was also used to fight the fire from above.
Police put in road closures at either end of the sewerage works and advised local residents to stay inside and keep their windows closed.
Witness Kingsley Hamilton, 33, who lives behind the Thames Water sewage site, said: "The road was closed off at about 8.00pm, about 8.30pm the heat caused the windows to break and about 20 minutes later I heard an explosion, which must have been from the oxygen getting in the building. It was just an inferno."
He said he saw the first fire engines arriving.
The 33-year-old said: "The smoke at first was just smouldering, it looked like somebody was having a barbecue or a bonfire somewhere."
A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade said: "The fire was under control by about midnight, and we were able to begin standing down officer from about 4.30am.
"Crews have remained there throughout the morning and at present there are two crews and 10 firefighters at the scene damping down."
He said the lack of an easily accessible hydrant was not uncommon when the fire department was called out to tackle large scale blazes.
Councillor David Dean, who is a Mitcham Common Conservator, said this morning's incident raised ongoing concerns about proposals to build an incinerator in Beddington Lane.
Coun Dean said: "Mitcham Common is a really important lung for the people of Mitcham. But of course it is next door to Beddington Lane which is a work site.
"These problems, when they occur, can be very damaging. We hope Thames Water and the environment Agency will get it under control. It is always a worry when new facilities are built at Beddington Lane.
"We still have an ongoing concern with the proposed incinerator. If they have a grave problem, it will affect not only Mitcham Common but the people of Mitcham."

I know it's always going to be the case, because of the way water runs downhill and all, but until the fines are a real penalty which reflects the true environmental cost, plus a punitive penalty that really makes companies think hard about their operations, nothing will change.
What would be the cost of cleaning up all this sewage if it were to run down the road? (Or be dumped in Heathrow hotel basements in the case of the Crane)? £1million? £10million? So that's how much the fine should be.
Take the example of computer data centres, they are often regarded as being "business critical" to the companies that use them. The cost of losing the thing would be catastrophic, so they usually have halon (or some new safer halon replacement) systems built in to ensure that if anything goes off it's extinguished before it gets out of hand.
Now, is a sewage works not business-critical infrastructure to the water company (and society-critical to you and I, the "end-users")?
What fire controls were installed in that building? If there were some, why did they not work? How often were they tested? Could they reasonably be presumed to be adequate? How much would it have cost that business to upgrade the fire control systems in the critical parts of their sites to ensure that this doesn't happen again? The fine should reflect this cost, to make absolutely clear that it will be less expensive for them to maintain their facilities properly rather than skimp on safeguards. Money is the only thing they understand, so they must be hit hard in the wallet.

Thames Waters incompetance and repeated offending must now be brought to account. Local government and Enviromental Health must seek to hold those in office accountable for their obvious failings and prosecute. I will not see the river on my doorstep repeatedly blighted. Lets now see The Enviroment Agency work "against" this company rather than with them as that alliance has obviously been a complete and utter sham/disaster.

My wife banged so loudly on the door the pills in the medicine chest rattled in a way I found, amid my tears, eerily pleasing. "Heidi Klum's here," she said. I dunked my head underwater and resurfaced, saying, "The model?"

weird. i just read this at the mac store. don't know why that's weird, but this story was fucking amazing. nice work!
very vivid. this scenario totally made me laugh. It's like he writes what everyone thinks, or dreams/wishes about, in a very real way.
Funny, when I point at something that represents my marriage, it usually is the dying cactus that moonlights as an ashtray on the stack of Hustlers I use for a nightstand. Another wonderful piece by Mr. Lombardi, who I am considering stalking -- possibly even assassinating, as the arc of his talent could unwittingly lacerate the space-time continuum, which would mean I could no longer eke out my existence pretending to work while mentally masturbating to orgies I shall never attend. The devil you know....

New Book Review available at The Cozy Library – Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt
The story begins with Cee Cee's early years in Ohio, raising herself while trying to care for a psychotic mother who traipses around town in one prom dress after another from Goodwill. In her mother's mind, these are the glory days of a pageant queen's life in Savannah. To 12 year old Cee Cee, it's an embarrassment and the fear of how to hold their lives together… Read More
Check out the new book review at the Cozy Library: The Dovekeepers
If you are looking for Holiday Gift Ideas, consider the book above, or some of the other great books on the site. My favorite this year is November's Featured book on the home page: Night Circus.
Today's post is a reprint of a guest post I wrote for flyteblog.com. A big thanks to my boss for having it on his popular blog.
The Goals: Learning, SEO and Social Media Experiment, (and possibly get some passive income without investing much money).
As a developer, I've probably built or worked on several hundred websites at my current job.
As the company has grown and our offices have become more spread out, the exposure to elements of a project that are not part of development has naturally narrowed. (I do sometimes miss our "one room schoolhouse" office). Flyte has been on the leading edge of Social Media and I've become a convert, but haven't done a lot with it beyond my Twitter and Facebook pages.
I thought it might be fun and interesting to see what my learnings would be while working through a new project of my own.
The idea:
Several friends and acquaintances have mentioned that while Amazon is a trusted online store, they feel overwhelmed by the busy home page and the number of choices. As a voracious reader, my friends often ask me what I'm reading and for suggestions. I also hear excellent book suggestions from friends and my boss.
My idea was to present selected choices through Amazon with quick pick book suggestions. Once people find they like the site suggestions it can become a quick way of picking a book and ordering it though Amazon, usually within the framework of my cozy website.
Since this was a learning project, my approach was like that of a number of people with new, very small businesses – with a not fully defined idea for making some money, and a preference for spending my time worrying about what the site looked like instead of how effective it would be.
After going back and forth with my build (for much longer than I should have) because I waffled between direct links to Amazon or an iframe associates store, I decided to really go for the social media challenge and use the iframe store within my content area. This means I'll need to get really creative with Social Media, since search engines will not "see" the book content in the iframe store. Iframes are sometimes a necessary evil but be aware of their limitations and build in other avenues to feed rich content to search engines.
(And lesson 2b, which I already knew but apparently had to learn again the hard way – make sure you have the design locked down before you start the build).
I went ahead and made the site live. After all, if you build it they will come, right? My only promotion of it was to offer a sneak peak on my facebook page (soft launch) . As expected, I've had very few hits (I check my google analytics daily – there was one weird day where I suddenly had 42 visitors, direct traffic from Hennepin County, Minnesota – I have a vision of an entire classroom of people being given a wrong URL!)
The better approach
Now to see if targeting search engines and using Social media can make a difference.
Coming up with keywords: Word Tracker offers a free trial or you can use the free keyword tool at Google. I put in my generic search term – Book Suggestions. Wham! immediately it returned something I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't given a thought to – using the phrase Book Club suggestions. I was also surprised just how much difference a slight variation can make. E.g.: "book club reading list" had low competition, and global search number of 4,400. However, "reading book club" had low competition, and a global search of 246,000.
I came up with several similar eye openers and went back to my site, rewriting some of the content, navigation and titles to incorporate the terms. I admit, at times the text felt more awkward to me, but we're giving keywords a try right?
Next I moved over some of my mainebabyboomer blog posts on books I've read to the new blog on The Cozy Library. Since I'm using iframes, the blog is going to become the main source of content that the search engines can find. Starting out with several posts gives it a kick start, and I'll need to blog regularly each time I read a new book.
I'm writing this guest blog post for the flyte blog, hopefully encouraging YOU dear reader to come visit my site. [Insert shameless self-promotion here - go to http://cozy-library.com].
I could go on tweaking the site and adding content forever, staying in "soft launch" mode. There will always be more SEO that can be done, more books added, more blog posts, more design tweaks. I want to comb through past flyte blog and Maine SEO blog posts culling out ideas to follow up. But that work can also be done after official launch. It's better to get this website out and start promoting it – while I continue to go on reading flyte articles on how to use twitter, facebook, blogging and SEO to promote it. So….(drum roll)…Announcing the new site, Cozy-Library.com.
Postscript Learning – the spike in my google analytics turned out to be because I was doing cross browser testing using Adobe BrowserLab – be sure to take their IP out of the mix if you don't want to skew your results.
Growing up in Bangor, my life was entwined with that of St. Mary's Church. Attending St. Mary's school, we had first Friday mass at the church just across the school yard (followed by Gosselin's donuts and hot chocolate since the fast before communion prevented having breakfast – how would you like to be the nun with a class full of kids hopped up on that sugar rush!)
Month of May included the living rosary at the shrine of Mary on the corner between church and convent. First communions. Confirmations. Forgetting your chapel veil and bobby pinning a kleenix to your head. The excitement of Christmas morning mass followed by gift opening. The mystery of the teens in the family going to Midnight Mass. All part of my childhood. And so even though I started separating from the church in the mid 70′s, it came as a personal shock the night the great church burned down on Feb 3, 1978, at the hands of an arsonist.
While going through some old photos this weekend looking for family shots, I came across these pictures I took the night of the fire, and the next day. I blame the blurriness on subzero temps combined with seeing your personal history burn down before your eyes. More than thirty years later I thought some of my fellow former parishioners might find them interesting.
Do you remember where you were the night of the fire?

It's been a while since I added a post, and even longer since I downloaded the photos from my camera. So it was fun after yesterday's trip to the transportation museum to download some summer memories. What to do in Maine? here are a few ideas:
The antique autos here are works of art all on their own, but with some I couldn't resist taking a little artistic license. The day we visited there was also an antique motorcycle rally. I've been meaning to visit here for years and glad that we finally did:
Train travel is a very relaxing way to travel, and the trip from Brunswick to Rockland and back makes for a lovely day trip here in Maine.

We baby boomers have had the opportunity to work in a fascinating stretch of electronic history. While watching Sunday Morning, their segment on the history of IBM computers prompted me to put together a visual history of my own progress working from typewriters to computers. (In my own defense, my high school had some pretty old typewriters.) Over the years I have worked on models similar to these:
What has your technical journey been like?
Recently I saw the movie Certified Copy with Juliette Binoche. There's a great summary of the movie in this New York Times review. The start of the movie is an author's lecture on his book, which tries to convince that a copy is as good as an original if it is such a good copy it evokes the same feeling.
While I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, I found it interesting and did appreciate that it was a good catalyst for conversation after the movie. I found myself trying to figure out whether the couple in the movie had really married long ago, or just met.
At the beginning I was convinced they had just met, at the end of the movie I was mostly convinced they had been married long ago. It was a day or two later when I was describing the movie to my sister that it struck me how much I had reacted exactly as the director wished, thinking the copy of a marriage might in fact be an original, or real couple seeing each other again – I could not tell the copy from the original.
I'm not a big fan of 3D movies, it seems to me that the energy and resources have all been focused on the special effects rather than story and character development. So what I'm asking here is – what makes a real 3D movie – a special effect needing glasses, or is it when the movie reaches out to you, grabbing you so that two days later you're still discussing the thoughts and ideas it evokes?
Recently I watched the show "Who Do You Think You Are", and saw a fascinating story of Rosie O'Donnel tracing her roots back to Ireland.
Over the past couple years, my siblings and I have made more progress in tracing our Irish roots than in previous decades. We knew our paternal side could be traced back to Ireland, but with that generation gone by the time we started looking, we had only a few family stories to go on.
This is one of the areas where Baby Boomers are getting an incredible boost from the internet. With every passing year more paper records are transferred to electronic availability. In our case, it still took some physical visits to City Hall or other offices with public records (thanks Greg!), but we are still finding new information on the web this year that we could not find just a year or two ago.
Recently my sister managed to contact a cousin when she found his updated information on the web. Now, you must remember that at the time baby boomers were young children, the easy technology of today's digital cameras and video did not exist yet. Many families did not have the means to take photos as a camera and film were luxuries. And so it was that my cousin sent Pat a scan of a photo in his family's album. My first surprise was that my father (James Arnold Maher) was known as Arnold to several members of his family. I had always heard he was called Jim. My next realization was that this photo, titled Uncle Arnold and Family by my cousin, and blurry though it is, is the first and only time I've ever seen a photo of my entire family in one shot. (My dad died when I was 6, so much of what I know is through stories) That's me sitting on my dad's knee.
I want to urge all my fellow babyboomers out there to start searching now for those ancestor photos and stories. Not only is more information available on the web than every before, but also you can tap into the family stories and photos before they are lost forever.

story from Talk Business
An effort to raise the severance tax to a flat 7% has failed to meet the signature threshold to be placed on the November ballot, but supporters will be given another 30 days to meet the legal requirement.
The Secretary of State's office notified Sheffield Nelson, leader of the Committee for a Fair Severance Tax, that of the 69,774 signatures submitted, only 21,347 were valid registered voters in Arkansas. The number of valid signatures represents 30.5% of those submitted, meaning nearly 70% were rejected.
The requirement to qualify for the ballot is 62,507 and state officials said Nelson would have another 30 days to obtain additional signatures or prove that rejected signatures should be counted as valid.
The Secretary of State's office said Nelson's group had until August 20, 2012 to meet the 30-day extension.

I'm not a huge horror movie/game fanatic, but I've always found the concept of zombies interesting. I've studied the Haitian origin of zombies and have heard of cases in which people have come back from the dead in a hypnotized state of consciousness. The concept of zombies is a folklore that has been around since the early days of West African Voodoo and Haitian Voodoo, but the spiritual elements behind the belief have been lost in the mainstream popular fascination with zombies.
The idea of a zombie apocalypse taking place and running for your life is a theory that is intriguing and fun to play with. I usually go out on dates and ask a guy "So what would you do if a zombie apocalypse took place?" I don't like to ask the typical questions, so the questions I ask are usually outside the box and are a reflection of my geeky yet artsy personality. The answers I get seem to very between the "Shaun of the Dead" approach of going to the pub or I get answers that involve leaving the area and finding refuge, sort of like in the awesome film "Zombieland." I would take the approach of finding refuge, but it depends on the type of zombies. If it's the fast moving raging kind like in the movie "28 Days Later", then I would lock myself up in a building and try to radio or Facebook for help.
We all know from watching different movies and playing Resident Evil, that there are different types of zombies. I get sick of those movies and games that only contain one type of zombie, either the ones that move slow, the fast ones, or the super strong ones that can rip you apart. The Ps3 game Dead Nation is one of those few zombie games that has different types of zombies, sort of like Left 4 Dead. You've got the slow ones, the super fast ones, the fat ones that spit out nasty acid, and you've got super gigantic steroid rage zombies that take half your life with one hit. If you happen to be one of the zombie game fanatics, then you know the difference between a Charger, Hunter, Spitter, Jockey, Tank, Witch, Boomer, and Smoker.
The Left 4 Dead series is one of my favorite zombie games to play, but Dead Nation proved to be a great shoot em up game as well. The game was apart of Sony's "Welcome Back" initiative, a packaged used to remind us Sony owners why we enjoy being devoted Sony fans. I was mad at Sony for having us offline for so long, but after watching E3 and seeing the new PS Vita and other cool gadgets from Sony's 3D technology, I was quickly reminded why I play my PS3 more than my 360. I play my Ps3 more than my 360 and I've already pre-ordered Battlefield 3 for my Ps3.
There are so many great games coming out this year, but I'm looking forward to Dead Island the most. It's action/RPG elements are components that a lot of zombies games lack. It's either all hack and slash or mundane strategy that lacks the necessary zombie blood and guts all over the screen. I haven't seen any new zombie movies in awhile, but the rise of zombies in video games is becoming a personal favorite of mine. I'm excited about Dead Island because of it's RPG elements combined with the shooting, cutting, punching, and all the other defensive attributes that make up action.
It would suck if somehow a zombie apocalypse ever happened in real life (highly doubt that it would), but it's fun to dabble in imagination and play a game that immerses you in a world filled with rabid zombies. The second trailer for Dead Island was released a few days ago and it shows the outbreak of zombies taking place. One seemingly pleasant vacation and a rapper's fun filled evening with sexy women, music, and dancing, quickly turns into a nightmare the next morning. It appears that somebody had a little too much to drink, but his hangover is quickly fading as zombies attack him.
Check out the second trailer for the anticipated zombie action/RPG game Dead Island. If zombies did ever attack, I'd hate to be trapped on such a beautiful yet deadly island.

The first trailer for Dead Island, hands down the best trailer of 2011.
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about a new zombie game coming out called Dead Island. The trailer above was the first introduction to the game and it made gamers anxious for information. We began asking questions concerning it's release date, platforms, and what actual gameplay looked like. We weren't give much information, especially considering that the game has been in works for 5 years and finally has a publisher.
With E3 right around the corner and so many great new games coming out, Techland has released a new gameplay video for those gamers anxious to get their hands on this zombie frenzy. This game goes beyond Left 4 Dead, a game where you can spend hours slashing away at zombies with your friends. Dead Island is about truly surviving, gaining skills, and even playing co-op with your friend through the actual story mode. The game looks promising and the graphics are pretty good for a zombie game on a tropical island.
Check out the game play footage below and stayed tuned for more concerning this game. I'm looking forward to playing it and seeing what else they will showcase at E3. So many good games coming out this year and so many good movies coming out this summer, I can't wait!! For now I'll just have to deal with the Youtube teasers and trailers, it's better than nothing!
So there has been buzz about this game "Dead Island" since 2007, but in the past year it has finally been picked up by a publisher. Publisher Deep Silver and developer Techland are currently working on this zombie first person slasher/RPG game expected to be released sometime in August 2011 on Ps3, 360, and PC.
The game focuses on an outbreak at the Royal Palms Resort on a fictional island named Banoi in Papa New Guinea. You play as one of the guest vacationing at the resort and are unprepared for a mysterious zombie outbreak on the island. You don't have zombie fighting skills or a zombie guide, but as you encounter more zombies you become more experienced. The cool thing about Dead Island, is the lack of weapon's you'd find in most action games. High tech weapons and machine guns, are replaced with conventional items that you'd rely on in real life. Crobars, glass bottles, a few pistols, knives, broomsticks, axes, and other melee weapons are scattered around the island waiting to be discovered.
If you don't feel like going on a scavenger hunt alone, then have one of your friends pick up a controller. Dead Island does come with a 4 player co-op, that seamlessly allows characters to join in the story and leave when they please. As you progress throughout the story and attempt to escape the island with the few other tourists who remained immune to the outbreak, you will also discover the mysterious cause behind the zombie madness. The developers have been keeping a lot of information on the hush, but they did admit there will be a skill level tree, in which characters can gain more abilities along the way and gain access to special options.
While information concerning this open-world zombie horror game has been kept on the down low, TechLand and Deep Silver had released a trailer that has been creating buzz for months. No one is quite sure if the game will live up to the standards of the trailer, especially considering the lack of an official gameplay trailer, but Dead Island's official trailer can easily be the best visually stunning trailer of 2011. The trailer is a visually compelling story that is played backwards. All the events are played in rewind, with a beautiful classical music component.If the gameplay isn't as visually stunning, at least the trailer looks good!
Nobody knows for sure what the gameplay looks like yet, but some screenshots have been promising. The screenshots show some gruesome zombies surrounding Xian Mei, an attractive employee at the Royal Palms Resort. Xian and rapper Sam B, who is on vacation at the resort, are the only two characters released so far that have a face to match the name. The other characters Logan and Purna have yet to be revealed, but I'm sure in the few months we will see more from Dead Island.
Dead Island sounds like a promising zombie game that goes beyond the hack and slash of Left 4 Dead and incorporates an open world platform, first person slashing, scavenger hunting, and other elements of RPGs. If you haven't seen the trailer for Dead Island, then be sure to watch it again…and then watch it again. It's that good.

Kyandy wrote: It's not as simple as others try to explain. We for centuries and millennia, have been groomed to believe the only thing we have of value ( and means of survival ) are our looks. It's not the media believe me, this has been for much mooore longer than that, much longer before Clairol and american idol. Women are given jobs, partners, social acceptance and value given their looks. It's not that we decide how to live, it's because if we don't follow certain rules we can hope to pretty much never move forward. 1 in a hundred guys cares not for what a girl looks like, because the natural look guys claim to like it's actually quite artificial lol. It's not the pretty lady from the tampax commercial with fair skin and seemly "not a trace of make up." All those pretty "natural" ladies spend HOURS of grooming to appear this "natural." Natural, truly natural girls are...not really the majestic vision of fairy everyone has idealized a woman to be. It may hurt some women who try to hide it, but here we go, all the secrets of women grooming: Cellulitis/Stretching marks are a fact. A LOT of exercise, treatment, and $$$ is needed to get that shit controlled. If you forget to keep up with your skin, the skin WILL get angry and do some evil business. No anime skin is natural we need oil, creams, exercise and massage for a "healthy and smooth" looking skin. BODY HAIR is a fact, face, legs, breast, every little part had annoying body hair, at least every 30 days that insane shit needs to be controlled. Trimming or waxing, else one ends up...well hairy, everywhere. Body Fat is a fact, our hormones are not helpful AT ALL, every 15 days we have radical change in our hormones, we need diet to maintain a balanced and cosmetic weight, if we leave all to nature we would not be fairy-like creatures. Because, we are not built to be fairy-like creatures. We are supposed to create other human beings and that, well needs fat. You might say "I don't care dating a fatty gorilla!" but's it's not only that, it's not only about feeling pretty, even in america women to be respected need to be a certain type, to survive, to excel and to triumph. Jobs, opportunities, advancement, respect, and everything else is given to us thanks to a certain look and ideal. Men don't have to worry about that, but we do, our survival depends on our looks. Sad but truth. We hate our legs, our hair, our weight not because we want to do it, but because we have to do it, flaws can change our daily lives want it or not. Our bodies are complicated, and we must live to the expectations of other's ideals. We are forced by society to do so Else, we are disrespected and treated poorly. Wow you are very detailed and I wouldn't doubt this...I do want a woman to do all of those things you mentioned as in keeping themselves up and such, yet after all of the treatments, creams and exercise I think she can feel good about herself..when I was 240lbs I felt a little less confident so I lost the weight now I'm 195lb nothing but muscle(it was something I could change), but if it is something in your gene's that wont change or something as small as a little cellulite or pear shape or long arms or whatever it is that she should at least be or at least try to become more confident in front of the guy that doesn't mind it. Because it stresses her out and intern stresses him out that his words kinda don't matter and a relationship can suffer in this situation. You ladies do have a lot to worry about concerning appearence its the small minor or unchangable things I am more focused on in this thread. |

First day of school starts tomorrow. :)
People have called me fat since I entered school. It was horrible, then after school I'd go to a daycare where some kids would pick on me
( emotionally like bullying not physical. ) They'd make fun of what I eat and say it was horrible. Now I realize they were really ugly and I was prettier than them. People don't call me fat now, but I'm kinda chubby in my belly and thighs. I still want to lose weight and I still think I'm fat even though people tell me I'm not now. It's hard to build self-confidence when it was torn down in my early childhood. |

I am Uber Everything.
this is my opinion
first of all its because us woman (or at least i do )focus on one thing and compare it to others.while im guessing men just look at the whole body and not individually .plus we have the image that u have too be skinny and all that shit...i try to stay positive,though sometimes i have though's days. but im getting use too how i look like im just focusing on staying fit and taking care of my hygiene...and not all girls are insecure i mean in my school there's some girls who are overconfident. |
This is a double edged sword, it's not just one swung at women. If anything, and this is an unbiased opinion with no influence of me being male, it's more difficult for a man to be considered good looking than it does for a woman. Females want skinny, all they have to do is eat right and bunny up for a little cardio. Males have to spend hours a day working out to be considered handsome. I used to be 250 pounds, but I lost over 100 of it because of health reasons, not so much the vanity aspect. Personally, I believe whether you're a man or a woman, you should be eating right and exercising, but this is in no way something only female feel. Even now that I'm in the best shape of life, I still look in the mirror and think I need to improve myself or hate that I can't just swallow 8 bags of Skittles in 5 minutes. It's a human thing, not a woman thing.
We Do Not Sow
Sure, if a woman is obsessive about her body it's unhealthy and counter-productive. Any sort of extreme tends to be that way.
But it's not a bad thing, in my honest opinion, for a woman to care about the way she looks and put forth reasonable effort to maintain it. I think it's important to be a balanced person and not neglect an aspect of your being - whether it's your mind, body, relationships, hobbies, career, etc. It takes a lot of work and time to keep all of them at a good level. And let's be honest, no matter how badly we might wish the world was less materialistic and superficial, we have to face the reality that there is a role that physical appearance plays in society and our every day lives, we are definitely judged for it, and it's not going away any time soon. |
Winter Is Coming.
cause we want people to like us.
Other girls to think that we're their "equal" thus treat us equally. Body shape is just like labels... Don't you always find that there's ONE big girl and a bunch of thin girls in a party group? my friend said that they only keep the lady with the curves cause they want to create an illusion to other guys that they're thinner and more sexy/in shape -.- Oh and also blame it on shallow guys too |

Protein foods can be an excellent source of dietary protein depending on both the amount of protein present in the food and the quality of the protein ingredient used. Soy protein foods are made with one or more of a number of soy protein ingredients. These ingredients can make soy protein foods an ideal choice because soy protein is a complete protein low in saturated fat.
With the increased interest in healthy eating and the tendency for many of us to read nutrition facts panels and ingredient lists on the foods we buy, understanding what those ingredients are has become more important than ever. For anyone interested in adding soy to your diet, it can be beneficial to understand the different soy proteins used in making various soy protein foods. The three most commonly used ingredients are soy flour, soy protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate.
All three of these soy ingredients are used to make high protein foods because they are concentrated sources of protein. Additionally, these soy protein ingredients are excellent ingredients for the development of various protein foods because soy provides the full complement of essential amino acids for human nutrition and is generally lower in saturated fat than other protein sources.

Berlusconi corruption trial 'to start November 27'
The corruption trial of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is due to start November 27, after Italy's constitutional court voted to lift his immunity.
By News Wires (text)
AFP - The corruption trial against Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will take place on November 27, judicial sources said Saturday, after a high court this month stripped him of his immunity.
The trial was suspended last year after Italy's parliament passed legislation giving the premier immunity, but the Constitutional Court struck down the law on October 7, paving the way for legal cases against Berlusconi to resume.
Berlusconi is accused of paying his British former tax lawyer, David Mills, 600,000 dollars (400,000 euros) to give false evidence in two trials in the 1990s.
Mills, who was tried separately, is appealing a guilty verdict delivered in February, when he was sentenced to four and a half years in jail.
Berlusconi has vowed to serve out the rest of his five-year term, which he won in April 2008, even if he is convicted.
"I still have confidence in the existence of serious magistrates who issue serious sentences, based on facts," Berlusconi said according to extracts released Saturday of interviews he gave to journalist Bruno Vespa for a book.
"If there is a conviction at trial, we would be confronted with such a subversion of the truth that I would all the more feel the duty to resist (and stay) at my post to defend democracy and rule of law," he said.
Berlusconi also expressed confidence that Mills's conviction would be overturned.
Mills, the estranged husband of British Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell, once admitted receiving the money from Berlusconi but said it had been "in recognition" for his work.
He later recanted and said the money was a stipend paid to him by Italian shipbuilder Diego Attanasio.

Berlusconi and Democracy!

This is some true face of Capitalism, Democracy ,Elections and Mandate... Belresconi; Zardari; Sarkozi; Chirac; Bush; Musharraf; Blair, Howard etc etc. All are some truths and realities of so called democracy and capitalism... All have blood of millions of poeople whether in Iraq Afganistan or elsewhere, at the same time Billions of Dollars in secret accounts, similarly they have votes to get immuned from Justice... They are befooling their public with different names like War on Terror, Expansion of Refoms, Rule of Law; Power of Democracy, Freedom to Iraqi People, Oil for Poor people... Only one sided deals are all these... Richer and Stronger are beneficiary and Poor & Weak are Victimes... We can only cry crawl and crumble nothing else... Hail Exploitation while Down with Justice
Belusconi still Italy's P.M?

Unbelievable as it may seem ... when no one admits to voting for him .. somehow this man is still leader of a country professing democracy. How absurd that a nation which prides itself on freedom of speech and press are not able to see the wood for the trees where he is concerned. Maybe you need to be an outsider. Whilst we may not be overly proud of our own leaders at least we still have the dignity and strength of mind to remove them from office if they are below par. At least they are accountable to the people. At least they understand that if we catch them out in their lies a public apology and even resignation are in order. Isn't that what democracy is? A puzzled Brit.

In the wake of a stressful few days, I looked to this week's fortune cookie for some comfort. I was told this: "Don't worry, half the people you know are below average." While for some reason I did feel a little less worried after reading that, my cookie was a little less credible unwrapped so close to our Cornell campus. However, I am still happy to take my maybe sort-of compliment. My fortune, and thereby the universe, has declared that I'm better than at least half of you. Take that, world!
So, of course, now I have been considering who else is in this upper fortune cookie crust club. It's also had me thinking about all of the movies and TV shows that I may, Ezra willing, have time to catch up on this weekend, but I think I'm always subconsciously thinking about that. Either way, the overlap led me to a group of the best and most current of our upper crusters in the field of writing and directing. I hope you have heard about many of them before, and if you haven't get the jump, because this winter I suspect you're going to hear their names a lot more.
Let's start with Paul Thomas Anderson. Director of Magnolia, There Will Be Blood and, most recently, The Master, Anderson probably has an award shelf somewhere in his house because he has won too many to count. Most of his films have been nominated in multiple categories, and The Master has already won the Silver Lion in Venice. You'll undoubtedly see The Master pop up on the Oscar list in a few of months, and if you're itching to see a well-made movie, this film is for you. Joaquin Phoenix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, under Anderson's direction … just go see it. Fun fact: In real life, Anderson is married to Maya Rudolph. I am taking this as proof that, besides being a respected director, he is most likely an all-around awesome person.
Speaking of awesome people, one of our hot names has got to be Lena Dunham. I'm not going to spend a lot of time here because I assume that most of you have heard of her before, likely in conjunction with her HBO show Girls, which has been receiving a bathtub full of attention this year. So here's what you may not know: Dunham is a 26-year-old Oberlin grad who has already written, directed and produced two feature films of her own entitled Creative Non-Fiction and Tiny Furniture. She was nominated for four Emmys for her work on Girls and just received a $3.5 million publishing deal for a yet-to-be-written book of essays. She is set to appear in Judd Apatow's This Is 40, which hits theaters this December and should ensure that she won't be off our radar anytime soon. Thank God.
Another individual who won't be off our radar for a very long time is Peter Jackson, who will be the director of all three parts of The Hobbit. The first of the three part installments will hit theaters this December, and, admit it, you're excited. Jackson directed the first three Lord of The Rings films, and the final film, Return of the King, won Oscars for Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay in 2004. Basically, we know The Hobbit is in good hands. Now, the only question is who to dress up as for the premiere.
On the topic of books becoming movies, we can't forget the fabulous Baz Luhrmann, who somewhat recently completed the new version of The Great Gatsby. I was a little heartbroken when its Christmas release got pushed until spring, but I'm still way too excited about the movie to actually be angry about it. What you need to know about Baz Luhrmann is that he is really just Baz Luhrmann. His style is his and his alone. It is new, bright, colorful, different, a little wild and overall beautiful to look at. Quick Review: You have most likely seen Lurmann's work in Moulin Rouge, Australia and Romeo + Juliet. If Romeo + Juliet is any indicator, this adaptation will be unlike any other Gatsby film so far.
If none of films I've mentioned so far swipe an Oscar nom for Best Picture, there is a good, very good chance that Silver Linings Playbook will. You may have heard of its director David O. Russell from films like Three Kings and The Fighter. Playbook comes out in November and is pretty much guaranteed an Oscar. The film already won a People's Choice Award at TIFF and, as of now, has a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Come on, Jennifer Lawrence. Bradley Cooper playing a serious role. And great reviews? Get excited. Russell has an untitled production set to come out in 2013 that is rumored to include Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams. I have a feeling he will keep popping up long after this year.
Directors don't get half of the buzz that actors do, which is a shame, because, in a sense, they are the characters we love so much, much more than the actors. Half of the time, they are the writers of the words we so anxiously quote on our walls and attribute to Don Draper or Frodo.
In a magical world, where these people were "everyone I know," I would consider myself lucky to be below average. Until then, my goal will be what the goal for all college undergraduates is: Just try to stay above the mean.

Very cool! That is going to be one ginormous rocket!
Is the pattern something you'd be willing to share with us?
an all paper rocket!?!
Looks nice, I bet they are nice and light too.

Most prized...Saturn V
Total-launched...125(+- 10 or so)
Yep, this is very cool! I am going to have to try this design and check this out
Thanks Jim! I must admit, your Midnight Express fin design is what gave me this idea.
Although I couldn't just upscale your design, that wouldn't be very original.
I went through a few designs, until I came up with the shape that looked good on the tube.
With the fins being all paper, I didn't want a fin that went below the body tube, I didn't think they would last more than a couple flights.
As it is, I think I will be setting this up as a rear eject, my PBNC (Poster Board Nose Cone) is quite sturdy!
I will keep you updated on my progress....
PS How in the heck am I going to Sim this?
While this fin is pretty sturdy, any ideas on how to make it more rigid, internally?
One thought would be to use a few pieces of tube (~BT50?), and compound-cutting it to fit laterally.
Another idea would be to have internal folded sections nestled into each other at about 2/3's and 1/3 the height? 3 layers total... Like a fin, in a fin, in a fin.
Any ideas would be great, I've never made a paper fin this big before...
I'm not exactly an expert, but I would suggest making paper I-beams of some sort and glueing them inside the fin.
I think you are already headed in the right direction, and Rocketbuilder has also given a good idea.
I would point out that the most simple math/shape/fabrication would be to cut some spars that run directly under those surface fold lines. This gives you straight sides to your spars and also supports the fin surfaces a little better (they are going to tend to "crease" anyway, from fingers/handling abuse, on top of whatever internal reinforcements you add). Spar materials could be CA-soaked cardboard all the way up to parts cut from fiberglass sheet.
And don't forget a good solid root rib to support the fin shape, and to add more bonding surface for gluing the fin to the local body.
Everyone has a right to be stupid, some people abuse the privilege
i looked at all of that and thought... great stuff... could you take one perfect one, make a mold and then turn out masses of great stuff foam or 2 part urethane foam fins? perhaps it violates the paper rocket code....
/just gave me some interesting ideas though...
Hmm, I think you may be on to me, sort of...Originally Posted by plastic_gorilla
I am thinkin', since I have to make 4 of these, that I would make a 'fold-mold'
Material yet undecided, (Plexiglass, thin plywood or ?) to use as a pattern for the folding.
Hard to describe, but like papering a fin, but then removing the fin. A buck or a mandrel, not sure of the correct term.
If I made the pattern or patterns correctly, I could make them consistent, repeatable, and may not even have to measure anything.
Then, I could 'turn out masses of great stuff' (yea, I know you were talking about foam, I'm just being punny)
Lay down paper--> then pattern on top--> fold over--> cut--> remove pattern.
Yea, it's 2:45 am, and it makes perfect sense to me.
Maybe I can come up with a better explanation after some Zzzz...
Definatly some good ideas on how to make it more rigid, keep em coming!
I'm liking the rib idea, seems the least difficult, though I never thought it would be easy!
Thanks again.
I think a cardboard core would do the trick, it would be easy to sand to keep your bevels how you want them as well.

Actually that makes perfect sense. It gave me another idea as well - cut the fins out of corrugated cardboard then glue a sucker stick to the top edge and you have an airfoil type leading edge.

Experience was the theme of the night in the state Senate and House races in the primary election on July 20.
Fran Millar, who spent 12 years representing District 79 in the state House of Representatives, was on his way to an easy win for the Republican nomination in Senate District 40. With more than 60 percent of the precincts reporting by press time, Millar had more than 66 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff. James Sibold, a former DeKalb County GOP chairman, was second with 28 percent and Jim Duffie had about 10 percent.
Millar will face Democrat Eric Crist, who ran unopposed in the primary, in the November general election.
"It's very gratifying," Millar said. "I've spent the past 12 years in the General Assembly and I was rewarded for what I've done in the past. I'm optimistic I'll prevail in November."
Millar said he was the target of a negative campaign by Sibold, who ran against Millar for the House seat 12 years ago.
"Most of his campaign was directed at me in a negative manner," Millar said. "I think the people looked at what we've actually done. You've got to tell people what you're going to do, not just criticize people."
In the House, Democrats Billy Mitchell (District 88) and Earnest "Coach" Williams (District 89) kept the seats they have held since 2002.
Both won their primaries with more than 60 percent of the vote at press time and will be unopposed in the general election. Mitchell beat Simone Joye and Williams beat Kenneth Samuel.
In the House District 94 race, Dar'Shun Kendrick will be in a runoff Aug. 10 for the Democratic nomination with Rhonda Peek. Kendrick, a Lithonia-based attorney and graduate of Towers High School, had about 36 percent of the vote at press time with more than 90 percent of the precincts reporting. Peek garnered more than 27 percent of the vote.
Four Democrats were trying to take the seat vacated by gubernatorial candidate Randal Mangram. Kendrick or Peek will face Republican Steven Conner, who was unopposed in the primary, in November's general election.
"We feel good about the runoff because we've got some momentum," Kendrick said. "We've got a lot of great endorsements and support from a lot of people. I'm ready to work over the next two weeks."
Peek said she had hoped to be in this position.
"I think I have a message and a spirit of service that resonates with the voters," Kendrick said. "I think the people are ready for someone to lead the district to bigger and better things."

Man Killed in Lake Lanier Boating Accident
Also, a woman is reported in serious condition after apparent two-boat collision. Gwinnett Fire, Gwinnett Police were involved early Sunday.
One man was killed and a woman was reported in serious condition after Gwinnett Fire and Emergency Services and other agencies responded to a boating accident on Lake Lanier early Sunday. The apparent two-boat collision is believed to have occurred in the dark approximately 200 yards from the face of the dam back toward Lower Overlook Park inside Gwinnett County. There were two other victims from another boat, reports indicate. Capt. Tommy Rutledge of Gwinnett Fire/EMS said authorities received a 911 call from a passing motorist on Buford Dam Road. According to authorities, two of the victims (man and wife) in their 30s were crossing the lake in a 21-foot ski boat when they reportedly struck an unknown object in the water. The couple …

South Florida LASIK Specialists
Welcome to Braverman Eye Center - Laser Vision Correction
Since 1973 The Braverman Eye Center, located in Hallandale Beach, Florida, has been here to serve the eye needs of the community. We are a premium South Florida LASIK and Laser Vision Correction center and have helped thousands of South Florida and LASIK Miami , epi-LASIK and PRK corrective eye surgery patients. Laser Vision Correction is done in our own state of the art laser surgical facility, featuring the premium Liebert System for humidity and temperature control, allowing for excellent vision results and low enhancement rates. |
BRAVO TO BRAVERMAN (and Staff) - From a Malpractice Attorney "I have been doing medical negligence litigation for over 30 years and I needed to find an ophthalmologist for LASIK for my daughter. I not only sue ophthalmologists, I represent them and know who the best doctors are. I chose Dr. Braverman. To my surprise there was a team in his office and each was as professional and knowledgeable as the other. We may have had more questions than most patients, but the patience shown by the entire staff was incredible. Walking in with 'coke bottle' glasses and walking out with 20/20 uncorrected vision is a miracle. That's what happened at Dr. Braverman's office with my daughter. You can trust your vision to this team." |
Braverman Eye Center - Laser Vision Correction
We are a leader in South Florida in refractive Lensectomy and Cataract Surgery, teaching many other surgeons our techniques, and have done over two thousand patients using the upgraded Array, Rezoom and Restor multifocal lens implants, which allow you to have far, intermediate and near vision after cataract or lensectomy surgery. These upgraded implants allow you to be much less dependent on glasses after surgery, with the vast majority of our patients never, or rarely, wearing glasses after surgery. In fact, Gary Player, the professional golfer, who is a happy Rezoom patient, says he is seeing like he used to see when he was thirty years old-- without glasses. Other upgraded lens implant options are also offered, such as the Crystalens, which is a truly accommodating lens implant and the Tecnis lens implant, which gives better night vision than any other lens implant, allowing you to drive more safely at night. This implant is a must if you do a lot of night driving.
We have multiple board-certified Ophthalmologists who are all Fellows of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and who all live locally in Broward or Palm Beach County. In addition to Ophthalmologist Dr. Stanley Braverman who specializes in Refractive Cataract and Implant Surgery, and Corneal and LASIK / Laser Vision Correction Surgery, surgical care also is provided by Dr. David Tenzel, who specializes in Oculo-plastic surgery, Orbital surgery, Botox and Restylane Injections, Dr. Clayton Berger who specializes in complex glaucoma and glaucoma surgery, Drs. Stuart K. Burgess and Julio Perez who specialize in Vitreo-Retinal surgery, and Dr. Eric Ciliberti who specializes in Neuro-ophthalmology. In addition we also have an Optometric staff headed by Dr. Ryan Hargreaves as well as an Externship and Residency Educational Program.
We have built our reputation on integrity and the highest standards of care. We provide high quality eye care to patients throughout South Florida, primarily serving the eye care needs of patients in Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Dania, Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Sunrise, Margate, Coral Springs, Pompano, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, North Miami and Miami, however we do see many patients from other surrounding communities in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County, Florida. We have also developed a statewide, nationwide and international reputation and frequently see patients referred to us by other eye doctors and patients from around the world. At the Braverman Eye Center you are a very important patient, and your eye health is our top priority. We pride ourselves on providing the most efficient, professional and personal Optometric and Ophthalmologic care possible. We will do our best to honor your trust by providing the quality of care you require and deserve.
At the Braverman Eye Center we proudly accept Medicare assignments and most other insurance plans. We're committed to the good health of your eyes, and have been established in South Florida for nearly 30 years. The combined experience of all the doctors at the Braverman Eye Center is greater than 100 years.
Your eye health should never be overlooked. Unfortunately, the leading cause of blindness in the United States gives the victim no warning signs. Glaucoma, if undetected, will damage the optic nerve so severely that blindness is irreversible. Furthermore, diabetes can cause visual complications that require immediate attention. That's why doctors recommend regular eye examinations. If you have friends who have procrastinated and have not had an eye exam recently, please encourage them to call the Braverman Eye Center. You may be helping to save their sight. Thank you for your visit to the virtual office of the Braverman Eye Center. We hope to answer your questions and care for your needs. Please feel free to call us for further assistance, directions or to make an appointment. As always we will continue to strive to meet all of your eye health needs in the most caring, responsible manner possible

generate form/view?
generate form/view?
Using the just-released 126.96.36.199 GA .
I don't quite understand the "sencha generate form"/"sencha generate view" commands. It says the "view" form is ExtJS only and won't allow it with Touch. And for "sencha generate form", it creates a skeleton that's not really appropriate for a lot of views: descended from FieldSet, has a TextField and Submit button hardcoded into the skeleton.
Also, it creates all the forms as "default.view.______" where ______ is the --name parameter. I haven't figured out how to get it to use the actual name of your app instead of "default" (passing --name=MyApp.view.MyView results in app/view/MyApp/view/______).
I don't really understand the point of the Sencha cmd if it's going to create a bunch of stuff you're going to have to go back and edit so much. Before using it to generate my objects, I just created the new file by hand and pasted the skeleton in from another of my views/profiles/controllers/etc. Sencha cmd seems like it create a lot of gotchas when you forget to clean up after its inappropriate assumptions.
Thank you for reporting this bug. We will make it our priority to review this report.
