Holiday Biscuit Bubble Ring
My family loves this traditional Christmas treat so much that I like to surprise them with it throughout the year. It does take some time to prepare, but the effort is worth it when I see my family's smiling faces.
6-8 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar,
4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons butter, melted,
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup chopped red candied cherries
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Cut cream cheese into 20 pieces. Roll each into a ball; cover and

Is talent inherited?Moderator: BioTeam
29 posts • Page 3 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
There has actually been a gene discovered that might detremine your I.Q.
http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/chem227/nucleicfunction/transcription/sci-gene-intelligence.html However, I don't think that there is a gene that says 'this kid will be good at music'. Maybe it's not the actual talent that is inherited, maybe it's the requirements, such as good hearing to be able to play an instrument well? I don't think the environment plays such an important role. If a person has a passion for something, then they'll make the best of whatever resources they have.
i think yes you have to have the genetical disposition but it´s mainly a learning thing. start early and you´ll be successful.
Re: Is talent inherited?Of course talent can be inherited but it has no relation with intelligence.... which is one's own and unique ability or capacity..Though people around a kid say that he is a master at drawing and has inherited it from his dad or mom.. it solely depends on the practice taken by the kid... and one thing... as a child of five years.. he cannot become a master jus by drawing a stroke on a sheet of paper...he certainly needs practice and the environment which encourages him
Re: Is talent inherited?
so which one? http://www.biolib.cz/en/main/
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re:"Is talent inherited?" - Absolutely.
1. Talent by definition is an aptitude for something. Presence of talent does NOT guarantee its use. Thus, while I have a talent for math (I understand new concepts of it almost as if I already knew them) I prefer studying biology and my math practical abilities are about average and way underdeveloped. I inherited my talent form my father, who does not use it either (he knows less math than I do). 2. Intelligence has nothing to do with the talent. Please, look up definitions. 3.
That is absolute nonsense. Since I.Q. is a made up concept, it's like saying that you discovered a gene that determines what you made up… I.Q. is subjective, superficial, and culture specific; so how can it possibly be determined by any gene (considering I.Q. exists only in our imagination)?

GREEN BAY — With Election Day just three days away, presidential tickets are sending out their high-profile supporters.
Stars on both sides of the aisle stumped for their picks for president in Northeast Wisconsin this weekend.
More than 100 Republicans gathered to shake Rudy Giuliani's hand.
The former New York mayor campaigned for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in Green Bay Saturday morning.
"We believe that Wisconsin is going to be the state that really determines the election," said Giuliani.
Later in the day, Democrats had their turn with celebrity stumpers. Stars from TV shows "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Happy Endings," including comedy legend Danny DeVito, campaigned for President Barack Obama. More than 100 people also turned out to see the stars.
"The spirit that we've encountered all day long, the enthusiasm, is amazing and wonderful," said DeVito of the campaign volunteers.
Supporters say the race couldn't be tighter.
"Wisconsin is an incredibly important state this year because of the implications," said Rob McElhenney, who plays Mac on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
"The polls here are virtually tied. Either man could win depending on the turnout," said Giuliani.
We did a FOX 11 Fact Check on the polls of Wisconsin voters.
Recent surveys from St. Norbert College, Marquette University Law School show Obama leading.
A NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Obama with only a three point lead. That's within the margin of error.
Nationally, a CNN poll shows the president leading Romney 50 to 47 percent, also within the error margin.
Celebrities on both sides say every vote matters right now.
"We are just concerned that people aren't going to get out and vote. We want to make sure people get out and vote. We want to make sure people understand how to vote," said Glenn Howerton, who plays Dennis Reynolds on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
"We believe if we can make everyone enthusiastic, Mitt Romney can win this state," said Rudy Giuliani.
Many of the celebrity campaigners made stops across Wisconsin in other cities before coming to Green Bay.

Polish pianist Mariola Cieniawa to clank the keys in Cairo's Manasterly Palace
Mariola Cieniawa, one of Poland's outstanding pianists and chamber musicians, will give a recital at Manasterly Palace on Sunday 19 May.
Cieniawa won first prize at the Karol Szymanowski Piano Competition held in Poland (1983). She was also granted the Frederic Chopin Artistic Scholarship twice, in 1983 and 1984. She received a number of top or special prizes at the 3rd International Piano Competition in Palm Beach, Florida (USA), at the 5th International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Palma Majorca (Spain, 1990) and at the Chopin Piano Competition in Uoln (Germany, 1991).
Cieniawa gives recitals in Poland and internationally and records for Polish Radio and Television Records.
Her performance at Cairo's Manasterly Palace will include compositions by Mompou, Granados, Andaluza, Albeniz as well as works by two Polish composers, Szymanowski and Paderewski.
Manasterly Palace is home to concerts organised by the International Music Centre (IMC). The IMC, with help from the Culture Development Fund, has been attracting audiences to hear remarkable musicians hand-picked by Ramzi Yassa, renowned pianist and artistic director at the centre.
Among the many renowned names gracing the Manasterly's audience with their recitals, was famed Russian pianist Andrei Gavrilov, who performed there on February 2013.
Sunday, 19 May at 8pm
Manasterly Palace, Rhoda Island, next to the Nilometre, Cairo

Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas (Anymore)
This year I thought I'd explain, but I've been delaying this post because I'm worried about accidentally coming across as preachy or sounding about as fun as a sack of potatoes. These are my very personal reasons for not celebrating Christmas and I'm not out to change people's minds or make Christmas less fun.
The Question: Why don't you celebrate Christmas (anymore)?
The Short Answer:
I'm not Christian. Even though I went to a Catholic school from kindergarten until the end of high school, school-time masses involved me siting alone in the pew while everyone awkwardly squeezed by me to get their host. I know that what we call "Christmas" has many secular aspects, and many folks who exchange gifts this time of year and put up a tree aren't Christian either, but I just feel weird about celebrating a holiday steeped in religious meaning when I am not a religious person. I am sensitive to people wanting to keep Christ in "Christmas," so I think it's more appropriate that I don't celebrate.
The Long Answer:
At one time, my family (parents and little me) "did" Christmas, but only the secular aspects. We divided our time between family in Toronto and Thunder Bay, which often meant scary, cross province drives in insane blizzards, or super expensive flights coupled with suitcases containing only a spare pair of gotch and dozens of gifts. It was often very stressful.
We continued to celebrate Christmas until the year before I left my hometown for grad school. I wanted to check out some universities in Vancouver, BC and "Christmas break" was the only free time, so my Mom, Dad and I toured Vancouver instead. We loved the lack of preparation and stress and rushing around. We still got to be together as a family but it was more relaxing, and on our own terms if that makes sense. It was liberating to to spend time together without having to pay homage to a date that held no significance for us.
The following year, after a lot of thought, we made a conscious decision to no longer celebrate Christmas. At the end of the day, we weren't celebrating Christmas via any religious expression, and we weren't enjoying the commercial aspects, so we decided Christmas wasn't for us. Frankly, I was also struggling with the dominance of Christianity (reflected strongly in the marketplace, like when Silent Night plays endlessly in every mall), while the many other religions practiced in Canada are marginalized.
After I moved away from my hometown, my parents and Handy Hubby (who was still Buildy Boyfriend then), went to Montreal for a little R&R&R (resting, relaxing and reconnecting). When Hubby and I got married in December the next year, we took off for a Grecian Honeymoon and spent "Christmas" there. A Christmassy Christmastime is now a distant memory. We travel during the holidays. Capping off each year by seeing more of the world has become something we really look forward to, especially because Hubs and I spend our anniversary somewhere special each year as a result! Starting each year feeling relaxed is an added bonus.
The Fall Out:
Most of our family has been pretty cool about our decision, and have respected it (even if they don't quite understand or relate). I am sure they were (and are) a little disappointed, and I appreciate that. We try to make sure we spend quality time with them at other times of the year. There are a few relations, though, who I think have taken it personally, and see it as a rejection of them. Without getting on a soapbox, we try to explain that our reasons are rooted in thinking deeply about whether we consider ourselves religious, what we think about the way in which Christmas dominates over celebrations of other religions, and also our resistance to consumerism.
Even though the decision wasn't made without serious thought and conviction, I feel like we might have to forever defend the decision. I am trying to put myself in their shoes and understand, but it is so weird to me. Frankly, I would love to see my family drop the tree decorating, gift exchange and forced merriment on December 25th, in favor of a more casual celebration at some other time of year, but I would never ever dream of trying to force them to give up Christmas. I don't try to push my reasons on anyone, and I'm completely supportive of any and all who celebrate Christmas! So I have a hard time responding to the sometimes insensitive and manipulative way some folks try to get us to celebrate Christmas.
I am happy that people enjoy Christmas. I just don't understand why attendance is mandatory. And I am frustrated, because I thought in Canada I have freedom of religion, which also means the freedom to not celebrate a religion. But I guess it is tricky to find a balance between making other people happy, respecting everyone's beliefs and wishes, and doing what feels right . . . especially when doing what feels right is something a little off the beaten path.
37 comments:
I respect your what you are doing. I am a Christian and we have gotten to the point that we do not exchange gifts and drive ourselves crazy with the consumerism part. My only desire is that we get to spend a day together as a family and it will be two days after Christmas this year. Enjoy your travels and I will enjoy my Christmas with my family!
ReplyDeleteMy family has never been religious so as a child my only thoughts on Christmas were that I didn't have to go to school and I got gifts. Now as an adult I've come to the conclusion that Christmas just isn't really for me. Recently I lost my grandparents and my already small family of just four went down to two (mom and I). While I do and likely will continue to celebrate Christmas in the sense of gift giving (not sure my mom could take any less!), I personally could just as easily do without and use the time off to do something else like travel during the holidays like you!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Lauren,
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I can see how your Mom wouldn't want to lose this family tradition, especially since it's the two of you. I think, no matter the stress, people have warm thoughts of Christmastime. Maybe the two of you could go on a trip sometime together! In any case, I hope you have a lovely holiday this year and get to spend some quality time together :)
I think what you're saying is really common when the religious encounter the non-religious, too. I too was raised Catholic, but my husband and I are atheists. Every single time something happens in our lives, my religious relatives encourage me to pray, try to talk me into going to church, etc. My mother constantly tells me she prays that I "find God," but how would she react if I tried to talk her out of her beliefs? I would never do that, but my beliefs don't get the same respect.
I think they don't see not having religious conviction as a belief system; I am expected to respect their "beliefs," but since mine is perceived as "lack of belief," they cannot in any way respect it. I even saw this when Obama (very radically) included atheists in his inauguration speech years ago. He referred to us as "non-believers" sounds rhetorically like we're missing something. Humbug.RepliesHi,
Yes, I agree this can be the case. It's unfortunate your belief system is challenged in a way that would be socially unacceptable the other way around.
I get the same attitude regarding my decision to not want children. Being child-free is the wrong choice, in the eyes of many people. I am perceived as immature and wrong-headed until I find my way to the "right" conclusion: wanting to have children.
I try really hard to see things from other perspectives, so I get a little bristly when others don't. But then I try to remind myself, I am not doing what is most common, and that always seem to encounter criticism.
Humbug indeed.
Finally someone else who thinks like I do!
I haven't celebrated Christmas for years for exactly the same reasons, but as you say, people seem to expect you to justify yourself every year.
I usually chose to spend a day or 2 on my own, doing things just for me, and I know all my friends feel sorry for me, and obliged to invite me to their celebrations, then get offended when I turn them down!
I make sure to visit my parents (we live far apart) sometime in the winter and take them gifts, but I refuse to fight the masses to travel at overpriced fares for something I don't relate to.
Happy anniversary and enjoy your travels :) xRepliesYou have no idea how fantastic it is to hear this!! To find people who think and feel similarly is so nice, after feeling like an oddball most of the Christmas season. Yup, folks feel sorry for me too. No tree? No presents? Poor you! Happy you to hear you take the time to relax and unwind, and do things just for you, during Christmas and then visit you parents on your own terms (you must save a bundle in flights).
Happy couple-days-to-yourself! I hope they are spectacular :)
My father was agnostic, but my mother was Christian, so I was brought up in the Southern Baptist church. I stopped practicing religion when I was 19 and didn't raise my daughter in church. I've never apologized for that choice, nor have I tried to explain it to many people, because I don't think it's any of their business.
I've never done very much that other people consider "traditional." I don't make a big production of Christmas, not even the meal. I've never made turkey and dressing or a pecan pie. We eat sushi or make elaborate salads. We exchange gifts, especially now that we have two small children in the family, but we don't attach any religious significance to the practice.
Like you, I have no problem with other people celebrating (or not celebrating) as they see fit. However, I refuse to let anyone force his beliefs on me, because I am very careful not to force mine on them.RepliesI'm not sure I can be on board with a lack of pecan pie :D
I think it's so sweet you and your family eat sushi! Your non-traditional family time sounds fun. I am sure you have a great time together. I should have admitted, I do buy gifts for the littles in my family. But often they get them early or late, so it's not always "under the tree". But I can't explain to them why Auntie Tanya doesn't celebrate Christmas, and I don't want them to feel we love them less.
It would be nice if more folks felt free to do their own thing, whether they are religious, not religious, or practice a religion that is different.
I completely agree with you- I am an absolute grump around Christmas because of the money, obligation, and travel. It sucks out the fun of seeing everyone when you've got all that weighted on you, and on top of all that I'm not religious either. My fiance really enjoys it all so we put up a tree in his office for him to enjoy, but it's just not for me. Every year I try to convince him to run away with me on Christmas, maybe someday he'll actually agree!
ReplyDeleteWe never decorated until having a child. And our favorite memories of Christmas were the three years we lived in San Francisco - we went to a movie and then ate Chinese food! It's all about your own traditions, and good for you for making up YOUR own mind. My daughter is having fun this year (she's three), but we definitely feel like we need to start our "own" traditions so that the season means something other than Santa for her (we aren't Christian or religious either).
ReplyDeleteRepliesI totally get decorating for kids. They can be total Magpies and their eyes light up with all of the pretty, fun holiday stuff. I remember LOVING to decorate the Christmas Tree and, looking back, love my Mom for letting me put my weirdo handmade stuff on it. I am still a sucker for Christmas lights and make Christmas spiders because they are too darn pretty not to.
I think it's fabulous you're going to start traditions of your own, so the time you spend together can really reflect you. Happy celebrating!
I totally am the opposite now.
As a child we were not allowed to celebrate Christmas. I was shunned in school by other children and even the relatives that did celebrate would not invite us kids over to see our cousins because we didn't celebrate.
I am not any religion anymore, it is sad how it divides us as family.
Since I left my home, I celebrate, maybe not the religious ways but with the eyes of a child who never got to experience it. Now that I have my own child it gets me so excited to see how much he loves Santa and the fun of the year.
It is not about the gifts or crazy shopping but about the feeling it gives me, to sit under the twinkle lights and see my child enjoy it so much, makes me know I am doing the right thing.
AmyRepliesI'm happy to hear you're getting a chance to celebrate now, after not being allowed to. I'm so sad to hear how it divided your family. And to be shunned by other school kids too, that's so terrible. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
I wish you all the best and hope you have a fabulously lovely Christmas! It sounds like your family is really using it to carve out time for each other and just enjoy the season.
very good explanation. I think you have very good reason. Enjoy your time with your handy husband! I am looking forward to the new year :)
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your reasoning. I think it's the kind of decision where you have to decide what is right for your family and it's a shame some people feel as if its an attack on them. I'll wish you a happy anniversary instead of a happy Christmas if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks Julie! I appreciate that :)
I agree that this is something everyone should feel free to decide for themselves. Sure, it might be sad if someone deviates from the group, but this isn't the only time to be together. Hopefully our family will be cool with it next year, if we spend extra time with them in 2013!
Happy holidays to you (if that's okay).
Come to Australia for your next Christmas. It's all about the BBQ, beach, staying out of the heat and having days off to spend with the ones you love. Of course there is a religious element for many, it really is just a great time of year to enjoy summer days.
Happy days to you and yours! xxI'm not Christian either, but I see Christmas as mostly a secular holiday. After all, it was a pagan celebration that the Christian Church took over and is centered around gifts. So yes, it does have some religious aspect, but I feel that's downplayed now. I personally don't like it much either way because it is very commercial, especially in America. People actually kill other people over shopping sales. No thank you. Now I'm at the point where no one really buys me presents anymore, and honestly, I feel if you want to give someone a gift you shouldn't feel obligated because there's a holiday. The only thing I look forward to is cold(er) weather and time off work/school.
ReplyDeleteRepliesIt's true, much of what is Christmas today is secular. But, like you, I'm not keen on either aspect and if I'm going to find a time to get together with family and the like, I'd prefer a day with no history other than what we give it. I don't understand how people can kill each other over sales. That's just horrible. I also agree with your sentiment about buying gifts. I like to buy gifts when I see something that instantly reminds me of the other person.
DeleteI really enjoyed your comment! Hubby and I actually talked about it some more today. He has had people tell him Christmas has Pagan aspects, as an attempt at getting him to jump on board, I guess. But he pointed out we're not Pagan, either. Although meanings differ, Paganism typically refers to polytheistic religions, which we don't practice either! And some Pagan elements have been re-infused with Christian symbolism, which again make Christmas something we can't relate to. For example, I read somewhere the Christmas tree is a Pagan tradition thought to have been adopted by Christians, but the traditional red and white ornaments symbolize Jesus' blood and crucifixion.
I think you might have been the only person to bring up an older history of Christmas, which is great because it's something we have thought about also! So thanks :D
What a great post - I really appreciate your openness and honesty! I grew up in a non religious home but we celebrated in a secular way. But now as an adult and critical of our consumerist society, there's not much left in it to celebrate. I do still partake in gift exchanges and some decorations though, mainly because my family does and for nostalgic reasons. I have really been focusing on celebrations related to the seasons in the last while (winter solstice!) as they have much more meaning for me and I really enjoy having celebrations/ritual in my life as long as it's something meaningful.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks, Kerry. It's been really great to hear people's different takes, too. It seems that many people have really diverse and personal opinions of Christmastime.
I think the nostalgia is a huge part for many people, and I get that. I like that you have been focusing on celebrations of the seasons! That sounds so fun and so much more personal to you. Happy celebrating!
This is brave disclosure and a welcome discussion- when your a "non-believer" sometimes you feel a need to keep it on the down low lest you want to invoke a debate. I went to Catholic school, grade & high school too and can relate to sitting out of communion. Although, I found that my classmates never gave it much thought. They knew I had never received my first communion and that I sat it out.
We celebrate a secular christmas but my husband would rather let it all go, given his druthers. However, it definitely is about nostalgia for me- my mom really made the holiday fun and I relate the traditions to the joy I recall from childhood. So, that's my same goal for my kids. We downplay the gifts but still exchange them and I definitely focus on the decorating & traditions that are borrowed from pagan practices b/c the religious traditions don't resonate with us.
But as others mentioned, some family members would make it difficult to opt out entirely. I already got a bah humbug for not spinning the Santa myth with my kids.
We try to keep the stress down by limiting obligations and enjoying the time off to spend with family. Not everyone gets it but we just try to honour our own wishes for the holiday.
Enjoy your time with handy hubby!RepliesIt's a weirdly nice feeling to hear of someone else sitting out of communion. My classmates didn't make a huge deal out of it either, but the teachers sometimes made me feel like an outcast. Like I didn't belong in a Catholic school and was taking a "spot" from a deserving Catholic kid (sometimes there was a waiting list).
It's nice to hear your Mom made the holiday a wonderful experience and you're working so hard to create that for your own children. Interesting that not spinning the Santa myth has caused friction!! Darn you for not being the same :)
Happy celebrating. I wish for nothing but the best for you and yours.
So interesting and helpful to find this warm and accepting community on a blog that's mainly about decorating! I was brought up in a secular family that celebrated Christmas mostly because it was my parents' anniversary. They eloped! The interesting thing is, since I've become a Christian in recent years and the season means something more to me in a philosophical/theological way, I am less and less interested in all the hooplah. Either way, whether you're just looking to simplify your life or whether you're eager for a little meditative time to think about your faith, the pressures the holiday puts on most of us are really grotesque. My own goal for this day is that it become "Comfort and Joy day" - a time when everyone gets a day off and is encouraged to express good will toward others in whatever fashion seems most appropriate. Sooo... at the end of a snug and simple day in my house, I send best wishes for the same to you, Tanya, and all of your readers.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI know!! I am so lucky to have such fabulous people read my blog. I hesitate sometimes, when deviating from the DIY and home decor posts, but every time I do write about something off topic I am always greeted with very thoughtful, warm and thought-provoking comments! I don't know how I got this lucky, but the discussion generated is always much appreciated. Even folks who don't agree are so kind in their comments and differences of opinion are always so diplomatically raised. It's very nice that we don't need to see things the same way to still chat about issues and engage with each other.
It is so sweet your parents eloped at Christmastime! How romantic. And how interesting that the hooplah is less important as you have embraced Christianity.
I hope you had a wonderfully comforting and joy filled day (with snugness and simplicity), and wish you and yours many more for the new year.
I am ready to cancel Christmas.
This year I just couldn't catch the Christmas spirit. I was going through the motions because I was supposed to, I was expected to...but I didn't really feel excited inside. Ok, other than making mini gingerbread house village with my three year old - that was fun!!
I feel bombarded by blogs at Christmas time. I do most of my shopping online to avoid the hub-bub at the malls.
Rant: I am completely annoyed that at Christmastime it is acceptable to expose kids to crazy sicknesses...like mingling germs and fevers is perfectly acceptable because you can't miss out on visiting or parties. (my boys both came down with bad colds...) The guilt that gets laid on if you dare stay home.
Anyways, you obviously have this well thought out. I think we will trade in our tree for travel in the upcoming years.
I guess what I crave is happy, healthy children...I don't think they need parties and decorations and sugar and mountains of new toys to achieve this...
RepliesOh boy, I didn't realize the pressure to attend even if your little ones aren't well! Wow, that is intense. I also felt a little overwhelmed with Christmas themes online, but Budapest wasn't too nutty so it was refreshing to be there. There was the Christmas Fair I loved (for the handmade awesomeness and mulled wine) but it was pretty chill in the stores and elsewhere. More peaceful. Except even some public transit shutdown 24-26!! Which resulted in an impromptu long walk on the afternoon of the 24th, lol.
I hope you're able to follow your heart next year and either do Christmas how you want or cancel it. I know firsthand how intense the pressure can be to celebrate. Hopefully you'll be able to do what is right for you, without people chiming in.

Tanya, I am so glad to find you. You express all my feelings perfectly about why I won't celebrate Christmas anymore. I came out of the X-Mas shackles last year and advised our family & friends we would not be celebrating X-mas any more. I then gave away all our X-mas decorations. It feels so good to be free of all the craziness and expectations placed on us. We still have a family get together with a big dinner and enjoy being together. My only problem is easing my 8 y/o Grandtr. into this. We buy her a present, but just don't give it to her on 12/25 She goes to a Catholic school and my Dtr., who agrees with me isn't ready to take away the Santa and presents from her yet, but at my house I'm easing her into it. I know there are a lot more like us out there that just need to find the courage to live their truth. You express that truth so eloquently & that may make it easier for people to hear your voice and find the courage to live what's really in their hearts without being offensive to the other side. Thanks for sharing your views. I really admire you.
Sherry in FloridaRepliesHi Sherry,
It's so nice to hear from someone else who doesn't celebrate Christmas!! Thank you for leaving a comment and telling me about how you've ditched Christmas. Sometimes making the decision (and keeping with it) can be difficult. It's such a tricky transition, isn't it?? I like your idea of not giving the present on the 25th. We still have little ones who like the gift-getting process, in the family, so it feels cold to not partake.
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2013 at 1:51 PM
Tanya, thank you for your personal reply. I'm so impressed that you take the time to respond to your readers individually. I read and subscribe to quite a few blogs about food, DIY, and Embroidery, (I especially like "Sashiko" Japanese embroidery)... You have got to be one of the most, intelligent, thoughtful, totally likable people I've come across.
I'm looking forward to following you as I know you will present a 'clean' read, free from all the other Christmas greetings, prayers and religious quotes and pictures. I wish I could find others 'like you' to follow.
Thanks for being true to yourself and having the courage to put your personal views about Christmas and religion out there for all to read in such a wonderful, non-offensive way..
Sherry in Florida.
RepliesHi Sherry,
I LOVE reading comments, especially when I hear from people who feel the same (or similar) way as me on something that is not usual. It's not that I need people to agree with me (I loved reader comments from people who do celebrate too), I just like knowing I'm not the only person that deviates from the norm from time to time. There will definitely not be anything Christmassy around here, although I might celebrate winter with some exterior white lights and cookies, lol. I just got one of my favorite home decor magazines in the mail and the November issue is already FULL of Christmas stuff. Sigh. I am amazed more people who celebrate different holidays don't get angry because even when things are framed as "holiday" themed, there's always one holiday that is really focused on.
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm blushing as I type this :)

Why don't apps have an Exit command
As a recent Nexus 7 user who still does most of his work in the desktop world, I'm puzzled by the weird fact that most Android apps I use don't have a clear way to shut them down. One can go to Settings...Apps...Force STOP, but this seems equivalent to using WIndows Task Manager to stop a program that won't close; there are possible consequences such as buffers not being written out.
Don't all those apps sitting there open take system resources? And, if so, why don't all apps have a clear EXIT option built in?
Thanks to anyone for answering this.
Dave - 01-27-2013, 11:35 AM #2
Re: Why don't apps have an Exit command
Because it isn't required. If you want to close your apps, simply go to the home screen, then press and hold the Home button, then hit the Trash Can to close all of them, or swipe away the ones you don't want.
Due to the cancellation of the penny, I no longer give 2¢ about anything. I may however, give a nickel - 01-27-2013, 04:14 PM Thread Author #3
Re: Why don't apps have an Exit command
Because it isn't required.
So does your answer mean that the open apps don't use system resources?
I guess I'll get used to it, but it seems a little like:
Question: "Why doesn't my automatic transmission have a PARK button?"
Answer: "Because it isn't required; just drive until you hit something and the car will stop on its own."Last edited by docroc67; 01-27-2013 at 04:27 PM.
Re: Why don't apps have an Exit command
That's not how android works. Things are meant to run in the background and they're only killed when there's no room for it. An exit button is strongly discouraged by android developers. If you really want to exit completely, hit recent apps and swipe the app you were in away.

Microsoft plays coy over iPhone Office
Redmond has hinted it soon may bring Microsoft Office to the iPhone. In a Q&A with Tim 2.0'Reilly at the hypemeister's Web 2.0 Expo in downtown San Francisco this afternoon, Microsoft Office honcho Stephen Elop was asked how his aging desktop software suite would survive in a world increasingly obsessed with putting apps in the …
Google apps
OK, I would never put valuable data or my email on Google (I don't trust them), but what MS appears to ignore is that Google apps supply enough of what people want. It's not so-bare-it's-unbearable Works, it's rich enough to get normal work done, whereas every-feature-you-may-think-of-and-each-new-version-hides-the-stuff-you-really-need MS Office bloatware is getting a tad heavy on both the wallet and the system.
Given the iPhone's anaemic wait-for-everything computing resources I think MS iOffice will be fun to watch.
If you like watching paint dry, that is.
The iPhone is not special
Microsoft would be wasting their time making a special Office for iphone, after all the next version of Office will have a web interface anyway, as reported by the Reg recently.
Coming full circle
What's the chances that Office for the iphone will probably offer 95% of the functionality you need, and actually be a better package for a lower price than grown-up Office with all it's crazy add-ons and even more crazy price?
That said, I can't help thinking they're hinting at this early to hinder sales of Quickoffice while they get their act together....
Office Live pretty damned impressive actually
I got to play with the browser based Office Live during one of Microsoft's Live @ Edu demonstrations and the really good big - it looks and plays like the Office of old. Even if most people never use Office's full range of features, Live scores highly because it looks like the program they've been using up until now.
Google Apps are very nicely done, work well and play nicely, but IMHO they don't look as professional as the Office Live suite.
Oh no - not ad supported on iPhone puh-lease!
With bandwidth being as it is, coverage similarly so the last thing we consumers (OK me consumer) wants is additional lag just because some sky based servers, some trad based servers or some other time lag inducing arrangement wants to look up, download and then display ads.
Apple: please keep apps ad free
Office won't run on the iPhone
Apple will need to create a new device if they want that BLOAT to run on an iPhone
Rumor has it that it will be called the iBrick and it will use FAT.

Version 2.2 is glitchy on my 64 bit Win 7 Pro computer, and sometimes hangs at startup. To remedy this, APC came out with PowerChute version 3 ... but version 3 requires an administrator password every time you log on! -- They're working on a fix, and their online forums have details. I think it's something that prospective purchasers should know. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pretty disappointedPros: It worked for a while . . . Cons: It only gave me 9 months of its life. Other Thoughts: I've purchased several APC UPS's in the past for server and periferal protection for work over the past decade and will continue to purchase APC prodects but this one didn't last very long. I purchased this one for home and overload problems seem to be common with this unit. That steady beep is like getting the Blue-Screen of Death on a personal computer that won't go away with a restart. The load was a tower computer, monitor, printer, DSL modem, and 50" television. Well within its capacity. I've had pretty good luck with APC support in the past so I'm hoping for a replacement. I'll update if negative. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great little UPSPros: I have had this unit for going on 6 years now. Other than new batteries every three years (installed my third set today), this thing has been a battle tank. Unit is small and uses standard 12v 7.2-7.5AH batteries. With using two standard batteries, you can get them cheap and just remake the battery pack yourself (I paid $25 a piece at battery warehouse). Cons: Wouldn't mind it running my HP Proliant a little longer, but we all know its a 800VA so not really a complaint. Other Thoughts: As far as the software... I run a linux based server and use "APCUPSD" to monitor my UPS through a web broswer. This unit auto detected and populated all the fields automatically! I strongly recommend this for a small backup, such as just a small server cpu or desktop. On a side note, can't go wrong with APC, I also have a 12 year old Backups 650 on its 5th battery thats still going strong backing up my AP and switches. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Doing wellPros: Small, plenty of all kinds of ports Cons: Nothing so far Other Thoughts: Connected the battery and plugged all my necessary stuff in, inlcuding the phone line. Haven't encountered any problem so far, this thing works as it should. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not Win2k8 CompatablePros: Nice clean look and low price makes this an attractive offering for your home office... Cons: Doesn't work with Windows 2008 Server. Spoke with APC customer support and was told the firmware won't let this device work with the PowerChute Business, and the PowerChute Personal won't be made for Windows 2008. Other Thoughts: Unbelievable that both APC and Newegg doesn't disclose the incompatability beforehand. Yes I can return it but then I pay shipping costs back to Newegg... 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
3 year failurePros: Had solid capacitors as far back as 06 Cons: Voltage sensor(s) went bad, relays were clicking on and off so fast it sounded like a stun gun. Other Thoughts: This unit was for occasional outages, not power problems so it has had an easy life for only powering a 200W personal PC. Batteries only lasted 2 years. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
2 years nowPros: after 2 years, still works perfect. I only run my cable modem, wireless router, voip adapter, & cordless phone off of this ups. The included software is cool. It allows you to adjust when it will kick on or off with voltage supply. I was having to reset my modem, voip & router all the time due to short power outages or maybe voltage spikes or drops. Got tired of messing with it. So I got this just for that. The included software shows the stuff i have connected is drawing 48 watts, it will run them for just over 2 hours, even after 2 years. It breaks it down into minutes until shutdown. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Never tried running any computers off of the power. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
NeatPros: Alot smaller than the normal APC UPS systems I am occustomed to. Holds power a good amount of time. I am able to run a DELL XPS and home net work on it for approx 15-20 min on an average CPU load. Cons: None so far. Did you find this review helpful? |

Guests at the 16th annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Promise Gala hit a big home run Feb. 23.
At least 620 were on hand to raise more than $700,000 at the baseball-themed event at the CenturyLink Center Omaha. "Hit T1D Out of the Park, We're Bringing Home a Cure" was the night's catchphrase.
Honorary chairmen were Susanne Shore and Pete Ricketts; event chairmen were Kelli and Scott Draper, Jeanie and Lance Jones, and Gabby and Matt Mormino. TD Ameritrade was corporate sponsor.
Following a silent auction, guests moved into the ballroom for dinner, an oral auction and a video featuring research advances made possible by the foundation.
The Fund-A-Cure video presentation featured members of the Rater-Johnson family, who shared their story of three generations of type 1 diabetes. Nine-year-old Jillian Rater, a third-grader at St. Albert Elementary School in Council Bluffs who has had type 1 diabetes since she was 5, narrated the video and spoke on how the foundation's funds have created significant advances since her father, Mark Rater, was diagnosed 40 years ago.
An after-party featuring the Crazy Keys dueling pianos brought the evening's festivities to a close.

The Omaha Academy of Ballet continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary at a Decades of Dance Gala from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today at the OPPD Atrium.
The date was chosen to coincide with the Omaha Performing Arts' presentation of the Joffrey Ballet's "Le Sacre du Printemps — The Rite of Spring." Academy faculty, alumni, board members and others will celebrate before heading across the street to watch the ballet at the Orpheum Theater.
"So much of Omaha's dance history begins with the academy," said Catherine Demes-Maydew, president of the nonprofit school's board of directors. "The city's first professional ballet company, Creighton University's dance program, and hundreds of professional dance performers and teachers all got their start from this single institution."
Chairwomen for the anniversary events were Demes-Maydew, chief financial officer of the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation; Mary Quinn Weber, an Omaha attorney; Wendy Larson Cooper, president of Larson Cement Stone Co.; and longtime Omaha philanthropist Sharon McGill. All four had trained, performed or taught at the academy.
Tickets for the gala, which includes admission to the Joffrey performance, still can be purchased at the door. They are $150 for patrons, $100 general admission and $50 for students.

The weekend before the curtain went up on Opera Omaha's production of "The Magic Flute," an event was held to honor Ree and Jun Kaneko and celebrate the Omaha performances.
The Magic Flute Gala drew 270 guests Feb. 16 to the Kaneko Bow Truss. Hosted by Richard Holland, the event raised more than $120,000 for Opera Omaha.
Karen and Robert Duncan served as honorary chairmen.
Costumed characters from the Opera joined guests during the cocktail hour. California chef Katsu Michite created sushi for the cocktail hour and the evening's dinner was created by Hap Abraham.
Entertainment included a performance by soprano Emily Hindrichs, who portrayed the Queen of the Night in the Opera Omaha performances. She was accompanied by pianist Eric Andries.
A screening of "Fear and 'The Magic Flute'" by NET/Joel Geyer Productions closed the evening's entertainment.
"We are all thrilled with this memorable evening fueled by an enthusiastic crowd of long-time supporters of Opera Omaha and many new faces as well," said Roger Weitz, Opera Omaha general director. "It was a harbinger of the innovative and exciting future ahead for Opera Omaha."

MedicationsBecause samples of the bacteria from the upper genital tract are difficult to obtain and because many different organisms may be responsible for PID, especially if it is not the person's first occurrence, the doctor will usually prescribe at least two antibiotics at the same time that are effective against a wide range of infectious bacteria. The CDC recommends that all antibiotic treatments should be effective against N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis. The CDC lists several choices of antibiotics to use (for example, cefotetan (Cefotan, Apatef), 2 g IV every 12 hour plus doxycycline (Vibramycin, Monodox), 100 mg orally or IV every 12 hours). The duration of treatments vary according to the extent of the disease; the caregivers usually determine the length of treatments for each individual. The doctor may provide IV antibiotics at the office, by a visiting nurse, or in a clinic. Emergency department doctors may also provide oral and IV antibiotic treatment. Depending on the severity of the particular case of PID, a doctor may also choose to admit the person for hospital treatment.

Geez, You Could Have Just Asked Me: Scientists Confirm Beer Goggles Are Real
In an announcement that shouldn't surprise anyone that's seen the majority of women I've slept with, scientists have concluded that beer goggles are, in fact, real.
Surprisingly, the beer goggles effect was not limited to just the opposite sex among the ostensibly straight volunteers recruited for the study -- they also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.
Beer is making me gay.
"The main question is whether these effects are specific to faces, or whether we would rate anything as more attractive after a drink," Munafo said.Future research could expose people who have been drinking to landscapes or the faces of puppies and other animals, "to see if alcohol has a more general effect on perceiving beauty in the environment."
I don't like where this is going. I am NOT having sex with animals. Or a damn landscape. Well, unless it's the sun setting over a mountain range. I'd ravage that shit.

Bent Tailgate Hinge, Passenger Side
I bought my 96 K1500 with no tailgate. It has a net, which I hate, so I went to a junk yard and almost picked up a nice looking tailgate but it wouldn't fit. Yes, it was from the right year, but it's actually the passenger side hinge that is giving me issues. I eased the hinge into the holder on the driver side, then went to slide the other side down over the hinge and saw that there was a gap between the tailgate and the hinge of about 1/2". The hinge itself is a little worn but it seems the problem is that the metal the hinge in bolted to is bent in away from the tailgate. With no way to pry this out that I can see, I tried to remove the hinge from the truck but the bolts just turn and don't loosen up. I assume the "nuts" are supposed to be welded to the bed. In fact, I can barely reach my hand up in there and feel the square nut turning, but I can't seem to get a tool in there to hold them.
Any thoughts on how I can either bend the metal back into position or remove the hinge?1996 GMC Sierra SL K1500
