Competing with the big brands as a niche cosmetics player
Jill Tomandl: Our positioning is "makeup as individual as your signature." We think of our packaging as mini art projects. We do lots of illustrations on staff. They're fashion-style illustrations. They're warm and inviting to our customers. The idea is that you don't have to aspire to be a model. They can change their look with the seasons, as fashion changes.
The designs are stunning, and they're often not what you would see with the big brands in the store. How do you create such eye-catching packaging?
I create a design brief. It includes ideas for the product, the raw materials, the packaging materials, and even inspirational quotes for our customers.
Isn't sustainability a big part of your marketing program as well?
Sustainability is very big for us. For example, our eye shadows are produced and filled locally. They're sold in clamshells made from recycled PET. Our cartons are made from Kraft pack material, which requires less material than SBS in the production of the cartons.
Vendors surely play a significant role in package development for Stila products. How?
Mostly, we give them specific direction, but they also come to us with innovations. If the supplier can make it exclusive to us, we ask them to develop it. Our suppliers have been very helpful. Not long ago, one year out was our goal for product turn-around, from creative to shipping. Now, it's down to five months.
Contract manufacturers and packagers play a role in this reduced time to shelf, correct?
Yes, they do. We use some companies to do filling and some to fill and assemble the packaging. Some do just assembly and some are turnkey providers. Everything we do is driven by the product formulation, so whoever is going to make the bulk formula for us, it makes sense to have it packed out in the same place, where possible.

Tap@ Lost Coast. Smelt OK, lots of aroma. unfortunately it was a bit sweet. Heaps of lemon icing sugar (thanks pogo), too sweet and tart, with nothing to back it up, finishes short. yeah, too sweet, has a nice full body, but it is sweet, so it makes it a little cloying, and the flavour comes across as a touch artificial (even though it most probably isn't)
Serving type: on-tap

A - Looks like Cream Soda.
S- Like bread with some citrus
T - Liquid bread with some lemon and hints of other spices at the end. Refreshing cold but more flavor a little warmer.
M - Smooth and light on head from a bottle. Imagine it would be very refreshing on tap.
O - It's not a bad choice at all for a summer witbier. Low alcohol and "drinkability" (yes I went there) means you could kick back a 6pk with your buddy Jesse on a sloppy summer afternoon pretty seamlessly.

Ask a master gardener: How to keep cats away
Q: How can I keep my neighbor's cats from doing their business in my vegetable garden? Do mothballs work?
Q: How can I keep my neighbor's cats from doing their business in my vegetable garden? Do mothballs work?
A: You definitely don't want cat poop in your garden. It's not just icky. Cat feces can carry diseases that can be passed to people. But you also don't want to use mothballs outdoors. They probably won't work, they're dangerous to children and wildlife, and they can contaminate soil and water.
In Duluth, it's illegal to let cats (or other pets) run free. But if calling Animal Control seems too drastic, or you live somewhere where there's no ordinance, you can train visiting cats to find another litter box.
Motion-activated sprinklers can be very effective in deterring all kinds of marauding animals. The noise and the sudden spray of water scares them off.
You can also lay chicken wire flat over your garden bed right after you plant seeds. Secure it with U-shaped pieces of wire. Most plants do fine coming up through the mesh, and cats can't dig through it. Mulch may help, too.
You may be able to repel cats with hot pepper sprinkled on the garden. Planting the herb rue may also be effective. Some of the repellents sold in pet stores or garden stores may work, but be sure they're safe for use around food. It's a good idea to apply repellents late in the day, when cats are more active.
If all else fails, you may want to invest in a low-voltage electric fence.

The Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation is a world leader in SPD research, education, and advocacy. Your frequent and generous support helps us make a difference in the lives of the millions of children, adults, and families whose daily lives are chronically disrupted by the debilitating symptoms of SPD.
How your donation helpsOne study (Ahn, Miller, Milberger, McIntosh, 2004) shows that at least 1 in 20 childrens daily lives is affected by SPD. Another research study (Ben-Sasson, Carter, Briggs-Gowen, 2009) suggests that 1 in every 6 children experiences symptoms of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) that are significant enough to affect their ability to participate fully in everyday life. Among gifted children and children with autistic spectrum disorders and some other conditions, the numbers are much higher. For these children, their families, and the adults they become without treatment...RESEARCH is desperately needed to identify the sources, the symptoms, and the effective treatments of this "hidden handicap." EDUCATION is imperative so that teachers, health-care providers, and parents will recognize the signs of SPD and know how to respond in the most effective manner possible. ADVOCACY is essential to assuring that the disorder is identified in diagnostic manuals, accommodated in the schools, and otherwise recognized by professionals, institutions, and organizationsThe SPD Foundation has been committed for 30 years to research, education, and advocacy. But sensational children, adults, and families with SPD need more – more research, more education, more advocacy. That means the SPD Foundation needs more of your support. Your support helps:

Authorities in Ukraine have issued an arrest warrant for ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, saying he is wanted for the "mass killings" of civilians.
While there's plenty of uncertainty to go around, some winners and losers emerge from the recent chaos in Ukraine.
Ukraine is on edge Monday after a weekend of breakneck developments that have recast the country's political landscape.
The gunbattle was so close it rattled the walls.
National Security Adviser Susan Rice warned that it "would be a grave mistake" if Russia intervened militarily in the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
A tidal wave of change washed over Ukraine, sweeping away its president, setting free an opposition leader, and leaving an altered political landscape.
Yulia Tymoshenko is back in the center stage of Ukraine politics. And it's like she never left.
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was released from prison Saturday as President Viktor Yanukovych vowed not to step down or leave the country.
A U.S. student who went missing while studying abroad in Italy was found dead inside a railroad tunnel in central Rome, police there said Saturday.
As developments continue to move quickly in Ukraine, the key players in the unrest are making moves. Here are brief profiles to explain who's who in the crisis.
As violence raged on Thursday in central Kiev, 21-year-old volunteer medic Olyesa Zhukovska was providing first aid to wounded protesters when she was struck in the neck by a sniper's bullet.
Matteo Renzi was sworn in Saturday as Italy's youngest Prime Minister, alongside his new Cabinet of 16 ministers.
Pope Francis will create 19 new cardinals Saturday in a ceremony in the Vatican's St. Peter's Square -- the first such appointments since he was elected.
Ukraine's President and opposition leaders agreed Friday to a deal meant to end the country's political crisis and days of bloody fighting.
A protester in military fatigues and an old steel army helmet barks out orders to a line of Ukrainian police officers -- yes, police officers.
Ex-newspaper chief Rebekah Brooks was emotional Friday as she was quizzed about her alleged affair with Andy Coulson at their trial on phone hacking charges.

Golden Key International Summit Conference Awarded Key Chapter Award
Published: Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 14:09
Three delegates from the Golden Key International Honor Society went to Atlanta, Ga. for the 2012 International Conference this summer.
Sarah Anderson, president of Golden Key, Bonnie Cooperland, advisor, and Ranganathan Jasothan, vice president of finance, spent July 26-29 at the Summit Conference to discuss, share, collaborate and celebrate the Golden Key Society.
The summit's theme was "Stand Out. Stand Up. Stand Together." Over 560 delegates came together to celebrate Golden Key's 35th anniversary, Cooper said at the UND Induction.
The chapter was recognized as being a "Gold-level" for the eighth year in a row. NDSU, along with 26 other chapters, was awarded the Key Chapter Award.
"At the conference, attendees can share information about the chapter events and learn what is successful at other chapters," Cooperland said. "Members can network with other Golden Key members at NDSU and around the world."
Golden Key International Honor Society was founded at the University of Georgia back in 1977. The NDSU chapter began in 1995.
The goal of the Golden Key is to help members with resumes, career planning, networking and leadership, according to the society's website. The group also seeks to service the community.
Every fall the society sends out letters inviting students in the top 15 percent of their classes to join.
"There are a variety of ways students can become involved with Golden Key," Cooperland said, listing service projects, monthly meetings and other events as possible activities.
The NDSU Golden Key chapter will serve at an upcoming project called Read for the Record.
At this event, members will participate in reading at the West Acres Mall from noon to 7 p.m. on Oct. 4.
"Involvement is the key to success," Cooperland said in an address on April 24. To get students and members to participate as much as possible will overall help us be a better community, both nationally and internationally, she said.

Transaction Update: Eurohypo AG (Hypotheken Pfandbriefe) Jul 11
- Language: English
- Published: July 2011
FRANKFURT (Standard & Poor's) Feb. 17, 2003--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today it affirmed its 'AAA' ratings on the Hypotheken (mortgage) Pfandbriefe of Eurohypo AG (Eurohypo-New; A/Stable/A-1) and removed them from CreditWatch. "Standard & Poor's rating action follows its review of Eurohypo-New's mortgage collateral pool and related cash flows that resulted from Eurohypo-New's three predecessor banks, which merged to create Eurohypo-New on Aug. 13, 2002," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Harm Semder. As a result, the 'AAA' ratings on Eurohypo-New's Hypothekenpfandbriefe reflect the quality of the collateral, the adequacy of cash flows, and maintenance of adequate overcollateralization levels. All these factors are subject to Standard & Poor's regular surveillance. Complete ratings information is available to subscribers of RatingsDirect,...

text: Abortion continues to be a heavily debated issue nationally and internationally. On Monday the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] heard oral arguments [JURIST report] in Isaacson v. Horne [case materials] to consider a new Arizona abortion regulation [HB 2036 materials; JURIST report] that would ban abortions after 20 weeks unless there is a medical emergency. Last month the US District Court for the District of Arizona enjoined Arizona [JURIST report] from implementing a public funding law [HB 2800, PDF] that prohibits funding for health clinics that perform abortions. In October the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] condemned [JURIST report] Poland's treatment of a 14-year-old rape victim who sought an abortion. The victim initially faced charges of unlawful intercourse by the Polish criminal justice system. The ECHR found violation of Article 8's right to respect for private life when the girl was hindered in her attempts to obtain an abortion. Uruguay in September legalized [JURIST report] abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, subject to several conditions, by a vote of 50-49. In August South Korea's constitutional court upheld [JURIST report] its abortion ban. Last year voters in Liechtenstein rejected a proposal [JURIST report] to legalize abortion in the country after the acting Head of State expressed displeasure with the law and threatened to veto the proposed change.

Recipe by alyssakim
"A quick, easy and delicious way to use the otherwise unused portion of chard. Use whatever type of pasta you'd like. Garlic can be substituted for garlic scapes. Serve with shredded Parmesan cheese."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup Swiss chard stalks, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 (5 ounce) package dry vermicelli pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 large onion, chopped
2 garlic scapes, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
This is really good, although we always use the chard stems, even freeze them for soups in the winter. Our garlic scapes (sprouts) are long matured by now, so used "mexican" onion which is like a green onion but with a big bulb, and some sliced regular garlic and sprinkled parmesan cheese on top to serve. Will look forward to trying it next spring with frozen chard stems and the actual garlic scapes. Thanks for the idea.
A great, simple pasta dish! I substituted 3 green onions for the 1 large onion and added 2 sprigs of kale. Delicious and light!

Abstract: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from materials during degradationcan be a valuable source of information. In this work, the emissions of furfural and aceticacid from cellulose were studied using solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) incombination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Two sampling techniques wereemployed: static headspace sampling using SPME for 1 h at 40 oC after 18-h samplepreparation at 80 oC in a closed glass vial, and contact SPME in a stack of paper (or abook). While a number of VOCs are emitted from paper under conditions of natural oraccelerated degradation, two compounds were confirmed to be of particular diagnosticvalue: acetic acid and furfural. The emissions of furfural are shown to correlate with pH ofthe cellulosic environment. Since pH is one of the most important parameters regardingdurability of this material, the developed method could be used for non-destructiveevaluation of historical paper.
Keywords: gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; SPME; pH; volatile organic compounds; paper; analysis.

The July 19 Mirror editorial, "Obama Bleeding Donors," cries out for refutation. Barack Obama's donors, largely idealistic citizens with modest incomes, are being badly out spent by Mitt Romney's super rich contributors .
Businesses are investing heavily in Romney's campaign, expecting to reap large financial rewards. They prefer as little regulation as possible and are heedless of environmental risks from carbon fuels and fracking.
The Citizens United Supreme Court decision allowed corporations and billionaires to buy elections, for example Swiss banks donated heavily to Ron Paul's campaign. These folks are indifferent to the general welfare of the nation and its citizenry. They are only concerned with increasing their own profits.
The Mirror's acknowledgment of an oligarchy is one thing; it's acquiescence is reprehensible. Our government is for the people, by the people not for the rich, by the rich.

Convert VARMA model to VMA model
SpecMA = vgxma(Spec)
SpecMA = vgxma(Spec,nMA,MAlag,Cutoff)
vgxma converts a VARMA model into a pure vector moving average (VMA) model. This function works only for VARMA models and does not handle exogenous variables (VARMAX models).
Spec | A multivariate time series specification structure for an n-dimensional VARMA time series process, as created by vgxset. |
nMA | Number of MA lags for the output specification structure. vgxma truncates an infinite-order VMA model to nMA lags. If specific MA lags are not given by MAlag, the lags are 1:nMA. To use MAlag, set nMA to [] or to the number of specific lags. |
MAlag | A positive integer vector of specific MA lags for the output specification structure. MAlag must be of length nMA, unless nMA is []. |
Cutoff | The cutoff for the infinity norm below which trailing lags are removed. The default is 0, which does not remove any lags and uses the values for nMA and MAlag. |
If neither nMA nor MAlag is specified, vgxma uses the maximum lags of the AR or MA lags of the input Spec.
SpecMA | A transformed multivariate time series specification structure that consists of a pure vector moving average (VMA) model with nMA lags. Logical indicators for model parameter estimation ("solve" information) in Spec are not passed on to SpecMA. |

Abstract: Five novel isoquinoline alkaloids (+)-N-(methoxylcarbonyl)-N-nordicentrin (1), (+)-N-(methoxylcarbonyl)-N-norpredicentrine (2), (+)-N-(methoxylcarbonyl)-N-norbulbodione (3), and (+)-N-(methoxylcarbonyl)-N-norisocorydione (4), and (+)-8-methoxyisolaurenine-N- oxide (5) were isolated, together with one known compound, (+)-N-(methoxylcarbonyl)- N-norglaucine (6), from a 70% EtOH extract of the barks of Litsea cubeba. Structural elucidation of all the compounds were performed by spectral methods such as 1D- and 2D-NMR, IR, UV, and HRESIMS. Alkaloids 1, 2 and 6 showed antimicrobial activity against the bacterium S. aureus and two fungi (A. alternata and C. nicotianae). Compounds 3,4 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against all of six tested tumor cell lines.

Two Spurs make the All-Star team
Congratulations to San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for being named to the 2011 Western Conference All-Star squad:
San Antonio's Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili were selected by NBA head coaches to play in the 2011 All-Star Game to be held on Sunday, Feb. 20 in Los Angeles. This marks the 14th time in franchise history that the Spurs have sent multiple players to the All-Star Game.
Joining the two Spurs players as reserves on the West squad are: Pau Gasol (L.A. Lakers), Blake Griffin (L.A. Clippers), Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks), Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder) and Deron Williams (Utah Jazz). Voted to start for the West were the Denver Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony, the Houston Rockets' Yao Ming, the L.A. Lakers' Bryant, and the New Orleans Hornets' Chris Paul. (source spurs.com)
Both Duncan and Ginobili will be joining Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich in Los Angeles as he was named the 2011 Western Conference All-Star coach last month.
Despite many who felt Duncan didn't have the statistics to make the team, his numbers proved solid. Also, Houston Rocket's center Yao Ming received the votes to make the squad but he's injured and unable to play. This could have been a factor for Duncan being named as a West reserve as the West could be short-handed in the big man department.
Hit the jump to see the numbers Duncan and Ginobili are putting up this season which got them a seat on the West bench.

Americans live in the most severe weather-prone country on Earth. Each year, Americans cope with an average of 100,000 thunderstorms, 10,000 of which are severe; 5,000 floods; 1,000 tornadoes; and an average of 2 landfalling deadly hurricanes. And this on top of winter storms, intense summer heat, high winds, wild fires and other deadly weather impacts. You can make sure your community is ready for the weather with the National Weather Service's StormReady® program.
Some 90% of all presidentially declared disasters are weather related, leading to around 500 deaths per year and nearly $14 billion in damage.
StormReady, a program started in 1999 in Tulsa, OK, helps arm America's communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property--before and during the event. StormReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety programs.
StormReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness. No community is storm proof, but StormReady can help communities save lives. StormReady News headlines detail how it really makes a difference.

Aims and Scope
Libertarian Papers is a peer-reviewed journal of libertarian scholarship established January 22, 2009. Its purpose is to advance scholarly research in disciplines of particular interest to the libertarian community, broadly conceived. The journal is interdisciplinary in scope, publishing original research from a wide variety of fields, including philosophy, economics, legal theory, political science, history, and social or cultural analysis. In regards its publication mission, it hopes to continue the tradition established by such publications as the Journal of Libertarian Studies.
There exists a gap in academic libertarian publishing. For authors with scholarly papers on libertarian topics, the choice of publication outlet is limited. Authors may publish in one of several traditional paper-based journals, such as The Independent Review, or (until it ceased publication) the Journal of Libertarian Studies. The number of such journals that serve as outlets for libertarian scholars is in any event too small, as the number of libertarian thinkers continues to grow with every generation. And with the exception of journals such as Reason Papers, these excellent publications do not take full advantage of the possibilities offered through the integration of electronic and hard-copy publications: often, authors wait a long time (sometimes over a year) for publication, and cannot always instantly share an electronic version of their publication. Because these journals are paper-based, there are also space limits that restrict both the size of articles and their number. Existing online libertarian- or free-market-oriented publications, such as Mises Daily and LewRockwell.com, typically focus on shorter, more popular articles, and thus are not suitable for lengthy, academic, or heavily-footnoted works. With the advent of the web and blogging, authors also now have the option of self-publishing: they post the paper to their own site or some private site, link it in a blog post, or post a "working paper." But this is obviously not an acceptable way to publish—working papers are not usually polished or final, there is no acceptable citation format or journal name, and, especially, no presumption of quality garnered by the peer-review process. What is needed is an academic journal that takes full advantage of the possibilities of the digital age. Such a journal need not be limited to shorter or popular-format pieces. And it need have no arbitrary space limits—articles may be any size; no suitable articles need be turned away—and can be published very quickly after the peer review process is complete. The costs are reduced and the staff is restricted to the Editor, Editorial Board, and a network of referees to assist with reviewing. Enter Libertarian Papers. Published by the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF), Libertarian Papers is a journal that welcomes scholarly submissions on a range of topics of interest to libertarians and those interested in the classical liberal tradition. In addition to articles in the conventional academic format, we welcome review essays and book reviews, as well as papers in other formats, such as lectures. We also publish English translations of foreign-language libertarian articles. Other than such translations, our focus is on previously unpublished works, with some exceptions made for important works that are inaccessible (such as two articles by Bruno Leoni in Volume 1 of the journal). Finally, wherever possible, content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. We even provide the Word file of the article—our "source code"—to make it easier for others to republish, incorporate, print-on-demand, or cut-and-paste (this also gives authors a final copy of their published article in editable form). We want our ideas read, spread, and copied. As Cory Doctorow notes, "for pretty much every writer—the big problem isn't piracy, it's obscurity." We do not, of course, oppose the profit motive, but we do recognize the stifling effect copyright has had on the communication of ideas. And as spreading the ideas of liberty is the end of our action, in Misesian terms we are indeed seeking a handsome profit by unshackling these ideas to spread them as widely as possible. In the spirit of open discourse and the free flow of ideas, unlike most other academic journals we allow comments on our articles, via the blog posts announcing them. (See also our inaugural post Welcome to Libertarian Papers!, Jan. 22, 2009.)
Libertarian Papers is edited (since Jan. 2012) by Matthew McCaffrey, currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois at Springfield. He holds a PhD in economics from the University of Angers, an MS in economics from Auburn University, and a BA in literature from Colorado State University. He is also the recipient of the 2012 Richard E. Fox Foundation Research Prize, and of the 2010 Lawrence W. Fertig Prize in Austrian Economics. McCaffrey previously served as the journal's Managing Editor. He may be reached here. The journal's Founding and Executive Editor is Stephan Kinsella, a libertarian scholar and attorney in Houston. LL.M., King's College London-University of London; JD, Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Louisiana State University; BSEE, MSEE, Louisiana State University. Kinsella is the founder and Director of the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF), a member of the Editorial Board of The Journal of Peace, Prosperity & Freedom (Australia), and formerly a partner with Duane Morris LLP and adjunct law professor at South Texas College of Law. Kinsella was Book Review Editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies (2000-04), and has published many libertarian articles in journals such as The Freeman, The Journal of Libertarian Studies, Reason Papers, the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, and Mises Daily. His libertarian publications include the recent monograph Against Intellectual Property (Mises Institute, 2008; Laissez Faire Books edition, 2012); Property, Freedom, and Society: Essays in Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe (co-editor, with Jörg Guido Hülsmann; Mises Institute, 2009); and the forthcoming Law in a Libertarian World: Legal Foundations of a Free Society (forthcoming 2013, Laissez Faire Books). Kinsella's legal publications include International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (co-author, with Noah Rubins; London: Oxford University Press, 2005), five other legal treatises published by Oxford University Press, Oceana Publications, and West Publications, and Louisiana Civil Law Dictionary (Quid Pro Books, 2011).

When I dream a little dream, I dream of tossing everything out, of moving somewhere else, of starting a new, fresh life. The thought thrills me. What would happen? Where would I go? Who would I be?
I'd probably never do that though.
I'm very attached to my city of Montreal. I've lived here all my life. My family is here. Many of my friends are here. Friends and family aside and as ridiculous as this probably sounds, the thing that I love the most about Montreal is my home. Sure, it's a little messy at the best of times, but it's all me. I really, really love it. It's my safe haven.
The problem with homes is broken locks. My little world (including my cat) were locked inside, and I was locked outside, completely separated and stuck.
I'm not going to deny the flashes of panic that passed through my mind. I was lucky that my temporary roomie was there by my side to keep me grounded and distracted from the severity of the situation. It took 3 locksmiths and eight hours to get us settled back inside. It cost a fortune. And the future holds more expenses and repairs on my damaged front door and lock.
I will never forget the sound of the locksmiths hammering, drilling, forcing, and cracking open the door to the little apartment I call my home. There was a lot of swearing during the struggle. I had this worry that my cat would be stuck inside forever and starve. Completely ridiculous, but by the seventh hour, I was internally freaking out. The situation just wasn't funny anymore.
What recipes do you bake to make your house a home? A batch of chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the oven, helps me forget. The scent of sweet baking, chocolate and vanilla, fills my injured apartment, and transforms it back into my home. My cat runs straight for her bowl of food when she hears that I have filled it until it overflows, just in case. She plays with her bits of food like they are miniature hockey pucks. The fact that she is spreading greasy, smelly cat food all through my home doesn't bother me in the slightest.
This ever-popular cookie recipe is a definite keeper (from Jacques Torres, and published in a 2008 issue of the New York Times). The recipe is standard, just like most other chocolate chip cookie recipes, a simple list of ingredients that make this apartment my home. The technique is what sets this recipe apart (a rest period of 24–72 hours for the dough prior to baking). It allows me to settle my nerves in a matter of minutes with dough that I made a few days ago. Resting the dough transforms a good'ol chocolate chip cookie dough into the perfect cookie: crispy, chewy, sweet, salty, chocolaty. The texture of the rested dough is completely different from that of a freshly prepared batch. It's definitely worth the wait.
Best part: just pull it out of the fridge, scoop, and bake it. Better yet, always have a batch of the rested dough on hand, pre-scooped and frozen. Pull a couple scoops out of the freezer, bake (350°F, 18 minutes), et voilà!
The two types of cookies featured here actually came from the same batch, split in half prior to adding the chocolate. To half the dough, I added dark chocolate chips, to the other half, the same amount of dark chocolate chips that I had ground up in the food processor. The ground semi-sweet chips render the cookie slightly less sweet. The effect is welcome.
The ultimate chocolate chip cookie
Makes ~60 2-inch cookies- 8 1/2 oz cake flour
- 8 1/2 oz all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 10 oz (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 10 oz light brown sugar
- 8 oz granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 lbs semi-sweet chocolate chips (either whole or ground in the food processor)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for at least 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes very light in color.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the bowl between each addition.
- Add the vanilla, and beat again.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry mixture, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Add the chocolate and mix to incorporate.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 36 to 72 hours.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop tablespoons of cold, rested cookie dough, shape into balls, and place about 1 inch apart on a Silpat-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies for about 18 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Place the sheet on a wire rack to cool slightly before diving in.
- Alternatively, freeze the balls of cookie dough on a baking sheet, then transfer to a tupperware to store in the freezer for when you need a cookie or two.

GPS data gets boost from new EU service
The European Commission has taken the wraps off a project aimed at improving the reliability of GPS data, with a new internet-based GPS augmentation service.
The European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for industry and entrepreneurship, launched the new European Data Access Service (EDAS) in Brussels on Thursday.
EDAS uses information from Europe's European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). EGNOS gives precise GPS data for "safety-critical applications", and can improve the accuracy of GPS position measurements from five down to two meters, inform a user of errors in their position and warn of satellite signal disruptions within … Read more

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Mark Martin will be on the pole at Phoenix International Raceway for the second straight year after becoming the second-oldest pole-sitter in NASCAR history.
Martin went around PIR's mile oval at a speed of 138.075 mph on Friday to earn his 56th career pole a week after finishing third in the Daytona 500.
Martin turned 54 in January, leaving him a few months short beating Harry Gant as the oldest driver to win a Sprint Cup pole. Gant was 54 when he won his last pole at Bristol in 1994.
Kasey Kahne will start on the front row with Martin for Sunday's 312-mile race. Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson will take the green flag in third next to Kyle Busch.

Now, Hannah's focus is specifically on maintaining her own Youtube channel, Yogscast2 aka Yogscast Hannah, which includes many Let's Plays, currently including: Assasin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Batman: Arkham Origins, and YogSims (The Sims 3). For the main channel, Hannah has starred in a Condemned playthrough with Simon, produced Fallout: New Vegas videos and she has filmed mod spotlights for her, Simon and Lewis to commentate over.
Hannah started working as the public relations assistant in July 2010 and describes her job as 'assisting in my spare time with public relations'. It was thought that Hannah worked/works at a bird sanctuary, but this was a joke.[1] On the YoGPoD, Simon joked that she can simply kiss an injured bird on the top of its head and it will fly away fully healed. In Shadow of Israphel, she has assumed a few roles in the early episodes, including Israphel.[citation needed]
Relationship with Lewis
Hannah is best known among Yognau(gh)ts alike as Lewis' girlfriend, although there seems to be some confusion sometimes over who she is dating. Hannah and Lewis met through the same World of Warcraft guild as everyone else - Ye Olde Goone Squade - and Hannah can be seen on some of the old raiding videos as a moonkin.
The relationship would be perfect, however Lewis's sidekick Simon constantly makes approaches of a sexual nature towards Hannah including a plot that involved fatally injuring Lewis's father and watching the popular TV show 'My Little Pony' with Hannah whilst eating small chunks of chocolate (which Lewis was somewhat shocked to hear about during the YoGPoD this was revealed in)[2]. It was never revealed if this plot was successful or not, but we can assume that it was after Simon's comment on the 'Borange' episode of the YoGPoD where he stated that Lewis and Simon were both ill because they had both been kissing Hannah. During Minecon 2011 Lewis did introduce Hannah as his better half, so it is assumed that Hannah is really with Lewis and only has a friendly relationship with Simon in which they can make sexual jokes about/towards each other.
On the 10th episode of the YogPod and Hannah's Advent Calender 2012 on day 23, Lewis stated that he was going to Hannah's family's house that year (and had gone before) for Christmas and Simon said that it was really his family as well.
Hannah stated in Hannah and Nilesy play Tekkit #5 that she often has to buy Lewis's clothes saying that he has no taste in fashion, but after laughs saying that she also has no taste in fashion.
In Hannah and Nilesy play Tekkit #6, Nilesy jokes that Hannah needs to ask him on a date first after she said he can sleep in her bed to change his respawn point, then continues to say, "but what is Lewis going to say?" This most likely means Lewis and Hannah are still in a relationship.
It was also said in Halloween Spack-2-cular Part 1 that Lewis was alone in the flat he shares with Hannah because Hannah was away in Canada and that she had asked a man to fix a light in the bathroom. Also, on Day 4 of the Livestream in December 2012, when Hannah and Lewis filled in for Martyn and Strippin, when the two of them were bantering with each other, Hannah jokingly insults Lewis and he then says to the audience "My girlfriend everybody," confirming the relationship is still alive and well.
Hannah stated, in Minecraft: YogCraft with Hannah & Nilesy: Volcano!, that her anniversary with Lewis is May 1st and they will have been together for three years, after joking about Lewis giving her bees in-game (Yogcraft).

- Hannah has a great knowledge of Pokemon as was said in the 38th episode of the YoGPoD and she apparently knows so much about Pokemon because "she was the right age for it" as Lewis said in the same episode.
- After her walkthrough of "L.A Noire" it was revealed that Hannah has a phobia of needles, due to her reaction every time she finds needles, or needle marks, particularly in the Vice cases.
- She has a thing for owls. One, Mr Owl, is her constant companion.
- Hannah's parents have two cats named Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins that they adopted in 2011, both are overweight and are on diets. Hannah filmed them when she went home for Christmas 2012.
- She has shown that she is almost as talented as Lara Croft. In one of her Saturday Specials, she attempts to test her survival skills that Lara would also use. First was maneuverability and versatility in the art of parkour, which Hannah was very slow. Second was archery, which Hannah, was surprisingly skilled at, scoring a twenty one, whereas Lara would score a thirty. Last of all was fire starting, which Hannah also found talent in (with the help of Duncan), after all these tests, she was deemed a natural when it came to survival.
- She used to make the Mod Spotlight videos, with Lewis and Simon commentating on it afterwards.
- She is a member of this wiki: Lomadia.
- Hannah used to post cooking videos on the YouTube channel vlomadia. The videos were created to accompany her website (http://www.cookingwithhannah.com/), which no longer exists.
- Hannah chose the name 'Lomadia' because it means 'grace' in Elvish, and Hannah also means 'grace'.
- After playing 'The Last of Us', Hannah decided that she prefered Ellie to Joel.
- Hannah doesn't drive, and thus she apparently is not aware which side of the road Britain drives on.
- Hannah likes criminal shows and has watched 9 seasons of Criminal Minds.
- She wears a size five shoe.
- She is 5 foot four inches tall.
- She used to play the flute.
- She was the first member of the Yogscast to mention that they occasionally get stalked when walking to and from Yogtowers and their homes.
- Hannah and Kim both have crushes on Benedict Cumberbatch as proven on Kim's Sherlock: The Network videos.
- "...Hello...?"
- "Flippin' 'eck"
- "In theory..."
- "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no"
- "I'm gonna own your face"
- "It's nice, very nice"
- "This is going to end in tears"
- "Oh, it's loveleh"
- "I told you, I fucking told you!"
- "Come at me bro"
- "Uh, I was going to say; 'How I like my men', but uh.."
- "Oh, sod it!"
- "You don't say that! You don't say that to the demons!"

2013-2014 Arterial Paving Projects: N 105th, N/NE Northgate Way Improvement Project
Project Overview The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is making improvements along N 105th Street and N/NE Northgate Way from Greenwood Ave N to Lake City Way NE. Construction began July 25, with immediate impacts to traffic. Improvements will include complete roadway repaving, new sidewalks and curb ramps, and drainage improvements from Greenwood Ave N to Corliss Ave N. SDOT will also upgrade traffic signals and street lighting from Greenwood Ave N to Lake City Way NE (and along Lake City Way to N 120th St). The entire project will take a year to complete, so will be finished in August, 2014. The paving element of the project, the most disruptive to the general public, will be done in three distinct phases, with the contractor finishing one phase before moving onto the next. The first phase involves the repaving and drainage work between Greenwood Ave N and Aurora Ave N. Construction on this phase will take approximately five months. During this period, the road in this segment has been closed to ALL eastbound traffic, and westbound traffic generally reduced to a single lane. Attached is a detour map, suggesting that eastbound traffic detour:
During construction King County Metro will be rerouting buses around the project area. Click here to find a map of the planned reroute (pdf). The middle construction phase, between Aurora Ave N and Meridian Ave N, will follow construction of the western phase. This segment will also be closed to eastbound traffic and reduced to a single lane of westbound traffic during construction. A detour map for that segment will be released shortly before that work begins. The final phase, the one block segment between Meridian Ave N and Corliss Ave N (the street just west of I-5), will follow. Fortunately, the width of the roadway is such that both eastbound and westbound traffic will be maintained. Project Description This project will improve the corridor along N 105th Street and N/NE Northgate Way from Greenwood Ave N to Lake City Way NE. Improvements will include roadway repaving, new sidewalks and curb ramps, drainage improvements, street lighting and traffic signals, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) components. Roadway improvements include:
Signal, lighting and ITS improvements include:
What to expect during construction: This project will have considerable impacts on traffic and the public. SDOT will conduct outreach to residents and businesses in the neighborhood beginning in Fall 2012 until project completion to ensure that they have the information they need to cope with construction. Project Benefits When this project is completed, it will have significant benefits for the public and motorists, including:
Schedule The project will take one year to complete, so should be completed in August, 2014. The paving elements of the project has been divided into three phases. The first phase, on N 105th St between Greenwood Ave N and Aurora Ave N began on July 22, 2013 and should be completed within five months. The next phase will be Aurora Ave N to Meridian Ave N, with the final phase being the one block of NE Northgate from Meridian Ave N to Corliss Ave N (just west of I-5).
