Really liked the Argentine Tango Manual. It's given us a better, more organized system to teach Argentine Tango.
- Reno, NV 5 Stars
As far as Christy's syllabus and Certification program... it has given me back my passion for Argentine Tango. I am motivated, challenged, and am really enjoying learning both the Leaders and Followers parts as well as all the intricaies of the dance and the vocabulary. There is so much more to tango than just learning the patterns... technique, posture, foot positions, musicality, and on and on... I LOVE IT!!!!!! THANK YOU CHRISTY for your dedication, passion and your expertise of the dance to put this "doctoral dissertation" together... named Argentine Tango, Bronze, Silver and Gold Manual.

Hello, fellow AFC South fans! A new concept we're going to be trying out this season is a 24-hour open thread for fans of AFC South teams located in the FanPosts section of Battle Red Blog (a special thanks to Tim for allowing such nonsense for the low, low price of 2 Coors Lights). A place where football fans can get together and chat about a variety of topics ranging from football to foot fetishes. Just think of it as your favorite bar/hang-out spot where you can get to know your fellow divisional fans on a more relaxed and personal basis. The point of this thread will be to bring us, the fans of the greatest division in all of the NFL, together for some friendly conversation and camaraderie.
- Nothing will be considered off-topic other than the usual religion/politics.
- Check your hostilities at the door. All previous problems you have had with other AFC South fans will be considered forgotten when you enter the thread. You may encounter others who seem to be ragging on each other. Please don't jump into the argument like you own the place. Things aren't what they always appear to be. It's probably people who know each other extremely well participating in some inside-joking or friendly ribbing.
- This is not a Game Thread! There are threads already dedicated to this, and for good reason . It's the same reason why I don't watch Pats/Colts games with my Pats-loving brother-in-law anymore. Things get crazy real quick. The Colts game threads will be hosted at Coltzilla.
- No trolling, please. If the only thing you have to say is, "Colts/Texans/Jaguars/Titans SUUUUUUUCK!!!1!!1" you're not going to make very many friends.
- If you are having problems with someone in the thread, please email me and we can work together to resolve the issue in-house. Our hope is that this thread will be self-regulated by the fans themselves and won't need any outside intervention. If you don't like what you see, treat it as any other unpalatable link you have clicked on in the past. Apply eye-bleach and move along.
- Have fun! We're all fans and fellow pathetic computer nerds. We have more in common with each other than we have with most everyone else in the real world. Try to remember that.
- Try to keep the thread "safe for work" since a lot of the threaders may be viewing from the job site. In other words, I love boobs, but my boss doesn't. He's a dick.
- If you were one of the people who rec'd the previous open thread to move it to the Recommended FanPosts section, please go back to that previous thread now and un-rec it. That way, the previous thread will move out of that section, and we won't be cluttering BRB as much. Also, feel free to rec this thread to get it up to the 3 required to move it to the Rec'd FanPosts section, but please don't go above that as it makes it harder to un-rec it later. Thanks.
In the beginning, myself, peytonsurdaddy, and Shake, from BRB will be hosting the threads. As time goes on we'd like to add a representative from both the Titans and Jaguars fans as well. You may lobby for the position by
sending cash proving yourself to have a level head and basically nothing better to do with your life.

Admission Criteria and Procedure
Admission to the Clarion part-time M.B.A. is limited to those candidates who can demonstrate a high promise of success in the program. The M.B.A. program examines several indicators for potential success that include the following:
Completion of a baccalaureate degree program with a minimum cumulative quality-point average (QPA) of 2.75 (based on a 4.00 system), a minimum cumulative QPA of 2.75 in the last 60 hours of the baccalaureate program, or the completion of 15 or more semester hours of graduate work at an accredited institution with a minimum QPA of 3.00. Applicants must submit official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work.
Starting October 1, 2013, a minimum total score of 450 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the relative equivalent score on the GRE (Click HERE for the GRE to GMAT calculator). Only applicants for the part-time online (PTOL) program may request a waiver of the GMAT requirement. Those applicants to the part-time online program with advanced professional degrees or five or more years of post-baccalaureate, professional level, work experience may submit a formal request to waive the GMAT requirement. Again, the GMAT waiver is available only to students in the part-time on-line program (more information is available from the M.B.A. office).

Applicants may be required to submit additional materials deemed important in assessing potential for success in graduate business studies or to submit to an interview before the admission committee.
The M.B.A. program has business foundation course requirements. Students can be admitted to the part-time M.B.A. without having completed all prerequisite foundation courses, but they will not be permitted to register for any particular on-line graduate course unless they meet the specific prerequisites for the course they would like to take. Business foundation courses are not included in the on-line program. Please see the M.B.A. curriculum link for more details.
Each applicant must submit the following documents to complete the application (materials do not need to be submitted all at once):

Official Transcript(s)
Applicant Résumé
Applicants will be notified if additional materials will be required. More information is available on the graduate admissions page.

Posted in Science Park
It's called the AcceleDent System and as an FDA-cleared innovation, this new technology has been tested and proven to reduce the time it takes to get that Hollywood look. With the help of traditional braces that positions teeth by applying force to the teeth; adding 20 minutes of this will speed up the movement of the teeth.
Through a clinical trial conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio the results of the additional vibration to encourage teeth movement resulted in acceleration by 106% during the initial alignment phase and as time progress it continued to show between a 38-50% increases in acceleration.
For those who do have braces, it would be an added benefit to reduce the time of having to re-tighten the braces.Not much is known of the price or even if insurance will accept the new product, so the financial benefits are yet to be seen.

doe stamp-antlerless license
here in pennsylvania we have our tags or stamps rationed to harvest does, depending on what management area you live in they allot a certain amount. i received my antlerless deer tag today so i guess i'm going to be doing a little hunting this fall. i wondered if this is the same way it's done in other states? i doubt there are any free for all's left where you can shoot whatever crosses your path. just thought i'd put it out there for discussion????

Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
In Illinois, you get one either-sex and one anterless-only permit for the shotgun season. Archery permits are purchased over-the-counter and you can just keep filling them. Only 2 antlered deer are permitted per year, archery and gun combined.

Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
The deer are so thick in Virginia the DGIF has a "Earn-a-Buck" program. After your first buck you must kill a doe before you can take another buck. Season limit 6, 2 per day,extra tags available.

Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
In Mississippi, the bag limit on antlered buck deer is one (1) buck per day, not to exceed three (3) per license year. In my management zone, a legal buck is defined as having EITHER a minimum inside spread of 12 inches OR a minimum main beam length of 15 inches.
The bag limit on antlerless deer is one (1) per day not to exceed five (5) per license year.

Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
Starting last year, Alabama placed a limit of 3 antlered deer per season. If I remember correctly one of those must have four visible tines on one side. In the county I live in you can harvest one doe per day for the entire season. Bow season starts in October, firearms in November and ends at the end of January.
Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
In Kentucky, it depends on what zone you are hunting but for the most part you can take one of each. They offer additional doe tags for a small amount. They are begging us to shoot more doe. That's good eating.

Re: doe stamp-antlerless license
It varies across SC, but where I hunt there are either sex days (two anterless per day on those days) as opposed to the normal buck only days (any buck with tines greater than two inches is legal. Less than two is considered anterless). That is unless you have deprivation (sp ?) tags. The does are so thick, we get anywhere from 40-50 tags during the season for anterless deer. We have even gotten the deprivation tags for spring and summer too through a DNR buddy of my uncle's. In my game zone, no limit on bucks for the season, and virtually enough anterless tags to cover as many as you can stand to shoot. It's a tradeoff though - plenty of deer for the sportsman, but one whale of a nuisance for the farmers

Bath lift came fully assembled and easy to start use. As a 79 year-old I was having great difficulty getting in and out of the tub. What a joy it has been to be able to soak in a bathtub once again!
Great product!

The AmeriGlide Bathlift does exactly what it claims to do. It lifts one easily in and out of the tub. The controls are easy to use. Directions are use easy to understand.
Erect and hard seat is uncomfortable. Most people do not sit at a 90 degree angle.
|Service & Delivery
Delivery was fine. Service was good except for lack of an upgrade policy. Service should include some type of in person review since this is such an expensive item.
Unable to see unit in person resulted in disappointment. Unused, newly delivered unit was not able to be returned for an upgrade. Would have gladly paid the extra money for the reclining chair, but was not permitted to do so. Was told to donate the $500 purchase or sell it and then buy the upgrade.

Pretty sweet 'Red Spotty' natural ribbon perfect for adding to gifts. 3 metres reel.
Red is the colour of love so many weddings feature accents of red, especially love hearts. Our brides just love our Champagne Hen Night collection with its red foiled design.

Keep the theme with some touches of red on the wedding table; we have red table crystals, red organza favour bags, red table confetti and even preserved red rose petals that will look stunning in white table linen. Red floral displays, chair covers, bunting, and candles are often chosen but if you really want to go with the theme, why not arrive in a double decker bus!

Believe the hype: LED lighting can help you save money. When looked at holistically, factoring in the cost of electricity over the lifetime of the bulb, a house full of LED lights could actually save you hundreds of dollars.
Let's do the math.
LED Is for the Long Term
According to GreenBiz.com: "A conventional 60-watt bulb lasts about 1,000 hours, uses 60 watts of electricity and costs $180 to run for 25,000 hours. The LED equivalent lasts 25,000 hours (nearly three years if you left it on 24/7), uses 12.5 watts and costs $37.50 to run for 25,000 hours." I've outlined the math below.
The calculations above are based on the Philips Ambient 12 Watt LED Medium Base Light Bulb, a light bulb that fits into any medium base fixture, intended to replace incandescent bulb usage. However, there are also tons of designs available with the LEDs built right into the design.
Save money by using LED lights in every room of the house:
The Entryway>
The Dining Room>
The Bathroom>
The Office or Work Space>
Discover a Warmer, Gentler LED
You most likely have heard an incandescent bulb described as a "warm" light. This look or feel of the light is its color temperature. Lower color temperatures (in the range of 2700K to 3000K) appear yellow/white and, despite their lower color temperatures, are referred to as "warm" in color; higher color temperatures (5000K and higher) appear blue/white and, despite their higher color temperatures, are referred to as "cool."
LED lighting has typically been associated with these harsher looking higher color temperatures. But that is changing. Increasingly, LEDs are reaching down into the warm 3000K range, resulting in color akin to incandescent bulbs and much more natural light than most fluorescent lights.
The environmental impact of LED lighting is difficult to compare directly against other options, but the circumstantial data is encouraging.
Natural looking. Cost effective. Environmentally friendly. LEDs are a slam dunk, right? Assuming you find a style you like, the answer is probably yes. In an interview blogger Cori Magee conducted last year with Edmund Ng and Kenneth Ng of Koncept Lighting, they discussed the role of aesthetics in designing for LEDs. "Both form and function are equally important," explained the Ng brothers. "New materials enable new designs. If we find a good material, we are able to create an exciting design around it."
It's this type of commitment to design, technology and, ultimately, cost that leads us to believe the future looks bright for LEDs.

If you haven't seen our Las Vegas Market event recap, make sure to check it out. We just want to chat about one more trend we saw there... Stylish room decor for the modern kids room. Why limit your modern decor to every room except the kid's room?
Modern kids rooms are featuring either lots of color or the more authenticly modern route of clean and all-white. Either way you decide to go, use fun lighting, interesting furniture, and pops of color. Organization is also key for a kid's room too, so bookshelves are a great idea.
Multiple types of fun kids chairs are always great for kids, especially when they have friends over.
For the older kids, just providing fun lighting, like these giraffe sconces can help keep their modern space young. Clean lines and modern furniture looks good in any room.

DAVID TRUBRIDGE, Tipu II (Grass) (2012)
Woven is an exhibition of organic light fixtures using textures and light. The exhibition features three new abstract forms by the internationally acclaimed furniture designer David Trubridge. Each piece in this collection is a sculptural scale abstract form as well as a delicate and mesmerizing organic light fixture. This collection is called "Tipu", which means swelling or lump and each piece within the collection is then named according to the natural material that creates the design in each piece - bush, grass, spiral. Each piece is made using a sustainable process from plant material and New Zealand flax fibre.
Each piece expresses the organic flow of these natural elements and really magnifies the beauty of the overlays and lattice character of these elements. The role played by the light and shadow as the elements intertwine and spin together creates a depth and so much visual interest that you can get lost in the work for hours!
Woven and organic lighting, whether it be in the shade of a pendant light or the base of a table lamp, will always add a sculptural element to your space.

DAVID TRUBRIDGE, Tipu I (Bush) (2012)
The natural elements in the Bush fixture are flowing softly, almost as if they are blowing in the wind.
As the fibres overlap they continue to create a play with light and shadow. The translucent effect creates layer upon layer of visual stimulation.
Natural woven elements in your fixtures can cast incredible shadows and light patterns.

David Trubridge's entire collection of furniture and lighting are works of art! It is thoughtful and innovative design that will continue to inspire.

Last week we attended the Las Vegas World Market event. It's a week long event that revolves around design trends, new products, creative collaborations, and much more! Not only did we have fun, but we came away with a clear understanding of what the hot design trends are right now.
Undoubtedly, a major trend right now is bold color (above). Colorful design is seen all over different design industries, especially fashion and interiors. If you don't want an entire room filled with color, then just accent with color. But go ahead and move away from the safety of the neutral color palette.
Keeping with the color trend alert, we also noticed a lot of quirky designs (above). Whether it's due to our difficult economy or its just a trend wave, people want whimsy in their life and the design world is responding. This space not only pairs daring colors but fun designs, like the chair and mirror. Colorful S-Chairs are a great way to add color and personality to your space!
If you're adamant about not adding color and prefer the neutral palette, don't worry because there's always room for modern, industrial design on the trend list (above). This kitchen is a perfect balance of modern and industrial, pairing sleek metals with textured woods and glass. Mason jar pendants are always a fun accessory when you want to achieve the industrial look.
Taking the industrial step a little farther, rustic designs are also on trend (above). Textured floors, walls and accessories create a natural vibe to any space. But adding some modern furniture and accessories, like the sofa and beautiful area rug creates balance, adding a softer element to the rough space.
Finally, a great way to wrap up all the design trends we've been discussing, tribal designs (above) incorporate all of them. By using tribal accessories, such as area rugs, pillows, vases, etc you can add a colorful, rustic, and modern look to your home.
We sure had fun at the event last week, we hope all the information we brought back was helpful. But the main design idea to come away with... you can make any style work by incorporating subtle or large design trend elements!

Did you hear... the Curiosity Rover landed on Mars! Of course you have, but still what an incredible performance by Nasa's JPL and everyone in the world that has been involved in the creation of the Curiosity Rover and this incredible feat. Is there life on Mars? When will we be able to travel to Mars? How will this event inspire the future? We just might be able to answer some of these questions soon. We gain inspiration from nature and everything that surrounds us so there is no doubt in my mind that design, architecture, music, fashion, and film will be extremely inspired by this journey as well.
I'm already imagining the first houses inspired by this trip to Mars. Mars is a very peaceful place right now with only Curiosity wandering around, as far as we know! The bold white geometric concrete structure contrasting against the rough red rocky landscape is what comes to mind. It's peaceful and elegant while the surroundings appear to be rough and a bit harsh.
I image the modern kitchen on Mars would be natural in its elements, but ultra modern in its technology and aesthetic. The concrete kitchen, Twenty Cemento from ModulNova is a great example of this. The concrete cabinet fronts are subtle, but the soft texture is something you just want to reach out and touch.
Pairing sleek modern barstools with more organic materials like concrete and wood creates layers of materials that are perfectly balanced. Too much of anything is never a good thing, but a pop of chrome and white leather is like the icing on the cake.

Modern bathrooms don't always have to be so sleek and clean. This solid wood vanity stands strong against the naturally textured concrete wall, while the modern pendant light hangs gracefully from above. It's like the combination of the surface of Mars mixed with the sleek elements of the Curiosity Rover.
The mix of modern mini pendant lights with rough natural materials blend together in such a way that still allows each element to hold their ground, make a statement, and maintain the balance.

There are so many things this world needs, and although a Mar-traveling rover and a house on Mars may not be on the top of everyone's list (yet), it should be able to bring inspiration to each and every one of you. Just think of the possibilities! How has this event inspired you?

So after the post showing you what a fabulous time we had living it up, I thought I'd do the research for you on the real objective behind the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. I've also brought you some of the South African winners for 2011 as well as favourite picks from the overall winners.
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has been running for 58 years and aims to bring together thought-leaders and experts in all forms of communication to inspire, debate and entertain. As a delegate, you are able to attend talks and workshops by authorities in the fields of production, entertainment, communications, technology, design and advertising. The pinnacle of the event is the final awards evening on Saturday, however awards are announced throughout the week in different categories.
South Africa didn't walk away with any Grand Prix awards for the Film categories, but we did manage to take two Silvers and a Bronze for Film Lions.
Here are two quite serious commercials with a message to take home:
Brandhouse's 'Love to Meet You' produced by Giant Films took Silver
POWA's 'Waking up the Neighbourhood' produced by Frieze Films took Silver
And a much less serious commercial by Exclusive Books for one of their products took home Bronze (produced by Ogilvy Johannseburg)
So… What makes a winner? Well, you could do hours of research on that and quite possibly never come up with a definitive answer – or just wait for and enjoy the commercials that do end up winning each year! Sports brands have dominated this year with Nike's 'Write the Future' taking home the Grand Prix in the Film Lions category.
While Puma's 'After Hours Athlete' took home a Grand Prix in Film Craft Lions category and a Gold in Film Lions category. Having been fortunate enough to make it to the Puma Social 'After Hours Athlete' Pop Up Club during its brief appearance in Cape Town – I admit I felt quite excited at their win.
And finally a bit of fun! The Old Spice Body Response Campaign actually won the Grand Prix in the Cyber Lions category – but it led me to these ads featuring 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like' which almost had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I've picked the best ones – Enjoy!

Hiring Minds Want to Know
Safeguarding Your Financial Information and Identity
Hiring Minds Want to Know
Your resume and job application provides a wealth of information about you but so does a Google search. Many employers search the Internet for information about prospective employees, verifying employment histories, where you've lived, what experiences you have had, as well as to get a sense of who you are beyond what appears on your resume. If you don't want prospective or current employers to have access to personal or private information, set your social media accounts to "private" status, or better yet resist the temptation to share your "life" online. Think of it this way: If you aren't willing to share something with everyone online, don't share it online at all.

By Roxanne Roberts
The Washington Post
— Note: Julia Usher, a cookbook author and founder of the website Cookie Connection, has created a terrific, intricate needlepoint design for a gingerbread "stocking." The cookie stocking consists of four stacked gingerbread pieces, cut out with a large cookie cutter. A channel is cut in the middle two layers, and that provides a space for inserting the cookie "lollipops" that fill the stocking.
We were so taken with it that we asked her to share tips on ways to achieve it, which you'll find in the accompanying sidebar. As you can tell, it's a project for a steady, experienced hand. So we asked Washington Post staff writer Roxanne Roberts to give it a go; after all, she has competed in the annual national gingerbread house competition at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C.
Roberts did a beautiful job. She found the design so challenging that she created two alternates that, while also fantastic, are easier to accomplish: an argyle pattern and a winter snowman scene. Even if you simply flood and fill, the "edible stocking" construction is simple to assemble with royal icing.
Recipe: Gingerbread Stockings
Makes two 7-inch stockings and at least 9 small cookie lollipops
These edible cookie containers fall into the "too pretty to eat" category. Each one can hold 3 or 4 cookie "lollipops."
You'll need a 7-inch stocking-shaped cookie cutter; 1-to-2-inch round cutters; a handful of cake/cookie pop sticks, which are available at craft stores; luster dust and Chefmaster Liqua-Gel food coloring, both of which are available through online purveyors or baking supply shops.
MAKE AHEAD: The dough needs to be refrigerated overnight or up to 2 days. Undecorated cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 month or individually wrapped and frozen for up to three months. The decorated cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Adapted from recipes by Roxanne Roberts' mother and from Julia Usher.
For the cookies
5 cups flour, plus more for rolling and cutting the dough
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup butter-flavored vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark molasses
2 large eggs
For the royal icing
1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 4 cups), sifted
1/4 cup meringue powder
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon orange extract
Gel or paste food coloring, for decorating (see headnote)
Luster dust, for decorating (see headnote)
For the cookies: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cloves and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Combine the shortening and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat on low speed until well blended, then add the molasses and eggs, beating until well incorporated. Stop to scrape down the bowl.
Gradually add the flour mixture (on low speed) to form a sticky dough. Divide into quarters; shape each one into a flattened disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Lightly dust each disk of dough with flour and place it between sheets of wax paper. Roll to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Lift off and reserve the top layer of wax paper. Dip the stocking cookie cutter in flour and cut out 8 stocking shapes in the dough, peeling away the excess dough. Use a sharp knife to score U-shaped channels in 4 of the stocking shapes; this will help create the space for holding the cookie pops. (Cut off their loops.) Use the smaller round cutters to create round cookies that will be affixed to sticks. Arrange the stockings and other cutouts on the baking sheets. Freeze for about 15 minutes or until the dough is firm but not frozen.
Position racks in the upper and middle sections of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees.
Use a cookie/cake pop stick to make a slight indentation on the backs of half of the round cookies; the cookies can be baked with the sticks in place or not.
Bake the round cookies for 6 to 8 minutes and the stocking cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Leave them on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. While the scored stocking shapes are warm, use a knife to retrace the U shapes; remove them.
Repeat to use all the dough.
For the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, water and orange extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat on low speed to blend, then high speed for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. If you are not using the icing right away, place plastic wrap directly on its surface. To create different colors, transfer icing to small bowls and add gel or paste food coloring.
Tips from Roberts:
— It's important for this design that all of the stocking pieces line up, so I rolled out the dough on Silpat liners (parchment works just fine) on top on the baking sheet. That way, the cutouts don't have to be removed, which will prevent distortion. Cut the pieces far enough apart to allow them to bake without spreading into each other, then carefully peel away the excess dough, which can be rerolled.
— The design calls for two hollowed-out cookie layers that will hold lollipops and small bits of candy, but one layer yields a sleeker look. I scored the interior cutout and baked the cookie whole, then retraced the lines and removed the insert piece just after taking the cookies from the oven. To ensure the layers are the same size, I placed the cutter over the cookie and, if necessary, gently pushed the warm cookie sides to line up with the cutter outline.
— Because you're going to be using small decorating tips that can clog, sift the confectioners' sugar for the royal icing; there are always a few tiny, rock-hard pieces that prevent the frosting from flowing evenly. I keep a needle close by while I pipe the icing, just in case. It usually does the trick.
— Piping straight lines is hard, even for experienced decorators. Practice a few lines on wax paper before you tackle the cookies. I used a zero (0) tip, which leaves a very delicate line, but a No. 1 is easier to find (most craft stores carry them) and will look fine.
— For the top, heel and toe of the stockings, pipe an outline and then, using slightly thinned icing, flood the areas and let them dry completely, about eight hours or overnight. (I used the same technique for the blue background on the snowman stocking.)
— For an argyle design, I scored the top of the baked cookie with a paring knife to mark the design, then piped the lines and pink background colors and let them dry.
— After the base colors are dry, add details as desired. For the argyle, I piped green lines and immediately sprinkled them with green sanding sugar, which added sparkle and texture. (For sugaring larger areas, such as toes, lightly brush with thinned icing and sprinkle with the sugar.) Let dry for a couple hours.
— Glue stocking pieces together with thick icing and let them dry completely.
And her thoughts on Usher's needlepoint design:
— It is a real challenge, but enlarging the design can make it easier. The trick is to pipe the lines as fine and straight as possible. I scored two perpendicular lines on the cookie top to serve as a guide, then piped vertical and horizontal white lines. (Don't worry if they're not perfect; it's just a cookie, and this is supposed to be fun.) After the lines dry, go back and fill in the little squares with colored icing according to the diagram.
— For the cookie lollipops, cut out two cookies for each pop. Gently push a stick on top of one unbaked piece and bake in place, Decorate the cookie tops, and glue the two halves together.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The third annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes and University of Tennessee at Martin sports extravaganza was recently held on the UT Martin campus on Saturday, Aug. 17.
The half-day event allowed for children in kindergarten through ninth grade to choose any UT Martin sport and receive instructions from the coaches and student athletes of their respective sports. In addition to receiving athletic instruction and a free t-shirt, UT Martin FCA members shared devotional and inspirational talks to the 335 participants at no charge.
Participants were able to choose from the sports of football, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, rodeo, equestrian, golf and volleyball. The event closed with a meal provided by MTD and with a closing testimony by Taino Fears-Perez, a junior on the UT Martin football team.
"It's a blessing to work with a staff and a community of volunteers who are willing to donate their time to this event," said UT Martin director of athletics Phil Dane. "Over 300 young people were introduced to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes ministry, and we hope a seed was planted by Taino's testimony that will cause some of them to follow his advice for their lives."
"Over 320 children from all over West Tennessee and Southwest Kentucky enjoyed a day of individual sports clinics from each UTM athletic program, as well as hearing testimonies from UTM student athletes and members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes," said Todd Hampton, chairman of the Martin FCA leadership board of directors. "It took many selfless individuals and businesses to put on such an event. In addition to all the coaches, staff, and administrators at UTM, the MTD cook team provided lunch to the campers, with all 320+ being fed at one time! Pepsi Mid-America provided the drinks, and many local businesses and individuals made donations of time and money to ensure the camp's success. As the campers left, each received an FCA T-shirt and Bible. All-in-all, it was a great day, despite Mother Nature's best efforts to hinder it!

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles acquired infielder Danny Valencia from the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, designating infielder Joe Mahoney for assignment to clear a spot on their 40-man roster.
Valencia was designated for assignment by Boston last week after coming to the organization in an August trade with the Minnesota Twins, who received outfielder Jeremias Pineda at the time.
The 28-year-old Valencia, primarily a third baseman, hit .188 with a .199 on-base percentage and a .299 slugging percentage in 44 Major League games this past season with Boston and Minnesota. He placed third in American League Rookie of the Year Award voting in 2010 and enjoyed his best season in '11, when he hit .246 with 15 home runs and led the Twins with 72 RBIs in 154 games. He also led Major League third basemen that season with 260 assists.
In 326 career plate appearances against left-handed pitchers, Valencia is a .316/.359/.472 hitter, and he posted a .226/.214/.377 line in 56 such plate appearances in the Majors last season.
Mahoney, 25, batted .265/.319/.389 in 132 games for Triple-A Norfolk in 2012. He made his Major League debut on July 7 and appeared in two games for the Orioles, going 0-for-4.

EarthShare of Georgia connects people with opportunities to contribute to and volunteer with leading non-profit organizations dedicated to conserving and protecting our air, land and water.
With your support, we have had another year of success as we close our fiscal year on June 30, 2014.
In 2013, we celebrated 20 years of caring for the environment, having raised 5 million dollars to help support our outstanding member groups since 1995. In the past year, we have built several new business partnerships with companies such as Mohawk, Aflac and Interface. We also started new workplace-giving campaigns with Burr-Forman and Hyundai Information Services, organized three engaging Earth Day business events, welcomed new board members and strengthened member group relationships throughout the state. While we continue to be successful in many ways, this year has been challenging with staff transitions and, most importantly, with the recent tragic loss of our Board Chair and colleague, Tami Willadsen, who was the Director of Philanthropy with The Nature Conservancy in Georgia. She will be greatly missed by the environmental community and beyond.
Please consider a gift to EarthShare of Georgia to support our efforts to grow campaign participation and our ability to better support our member groups, all leading non-profit environmental charities. Again, your volunteer hours, contacts and ideas are greatly valued; so is your financial gift to EarthShare of Georgia. Please know how much you are appreciated and that we look forward to celebrating with you each step toward continued success.
With summer just around the corner, this is a great time to think about getting your place of business involved with an EarthShare of Georgia workplace–giving campaign!
Workplace-giving is the vehicle for individuals to connect to charities in a tactile way and for employers to empower their employees to change the world. For many, it is also an introduction to the charitable sector and the concept of philanthropy and community service, offering a convenient path to learn and connect. EarthShare of Georgia workplace-giving programs are built on connecting environmental and conservation charities with donors who recognize the importance of caring for our natural resources, offering philanthropic and hands-on opportunities and educating workers about issues that impact the health of our air, land, water and wildlife.

As the season of bare skin and scorching sun draws near, you — like so many other people — may find yourself scratching your head over sunscreen.
Yes, skin protection is essential, especially with skin cancer rates on the rise in many populations around the world. But sunscreens come with often confusing labels and long, unpronounceable lists of chemical and other ingredients. How do you know which are safe to slather on you or your kids?
The first thing to keep in mind is that not all sunscreens are created equal, says Mary Sheu, an assistant professor of dermatology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
"There are physical sunscreens that reflect light — they're like little mirrors that sit on your skin," she says. Such products, made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, sit on your skin and block the sun's UVA and UVB rays. (These are the ones that can cause sunburns, cell damage and skin cancer.)
The minerals are opaque, giving beachgoers that classic white-nose look, though new versions are often tinted or "micronized" (ground into tinier-than-usual particles) so they'll blend into the skin.
Physical sunscreens are the least likely to produce rashes or other allergic reactions, so they're often recommended for people with sensitive skin, Sheu says.
The other kind of protection is chemical sunscreen. Instead of blocking or reflecting the sun's rays, these products absorb UVA and UVB light to keep it from damaging skin, Sheu says. Unlike physical sunscreens, they can be absorbed into the skin — and that's where the question of safety comes in.
"Even though the data are soft, we do know that a certain amount of the chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the body, and we don't know exactly what their effects are," says Robert Friedman, a clinical professor of dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine and the chief executive of MDSolarSciences, a company based in Norwalk, Conn., that develops sunscreen and skin-care products.

Create Fabulous Fall Wreaths
U-shape wreath
The unusual shape of this harvest-themed wreath makes it a standout door decoration.
Cut away about one-fifth of a plastic foam wreath to create the shape. Wrap yellow seam-binding ribbon around the wreath. Hot-glue fresh or preserved green salal leaves (commonly called lemon leaf) to the wreath, covering it completely. Glue a cluster of nuts to the bottom center, then add dried wheat, preserved fern fronds, and fresh or silk berries.
Fall color wreath
Create this beautiful fall wreath with a variety of materials that reflect autumn's hues: gold, red, orange and brown.
Both your yard and a crafts store should provide a bounty of choices. A mix of fresh and dried materials looks lovely, but a wreath of all dried materials lasts longer.
Lightly soak a 10- or 12-inch ring of Oasis floral foam in water. Group your materials by color to plan each section of the wreath, then insert materials by the stems. We used tree leaves and fresh mums for red and orange bands of color, tree leaves and dried yarrow for gold, and dried oak leaves and pinecones for brown. Hot glue or T-pins help hold materials in place.
Corn husk wreath
A wall gains harvest style from this wreath that resembles a sunburst.
Soak corn husks in water until they are pliable, then tear into 1- to 2-inch-wide strips. Starting from the outer edge of a 14-inch straw wreath form, secure rows of strips with dressmaker pins. Overlap each row to hide pins. For the last row, pin strips to the back and bend to cover the inside edge. Strips hold their shape when dry. (Tip: Buy packs of dried corn husks (used to make tamales) in the international foods section of a grocery store or at Walmart.)
Mixed-nut wreath
Turn a crafts-store wood frame into a harvest wreath. Hot-glue Brazil nuts, hazelnuts and acorns to the frame. Hang with a chocolate-hue ribbon.
Video: How to make a fall wreath
See how to make a beautiful fall wreath from field corn, gardening wire, gourds, snowberries, cranberries, tiny pumpkins, pine boughts, ribbon and jute.
Bittersweet wreath
A cluster of six gourds stars in this festive autumn wreath. Wrap extra raffia (the fiber from palm leaf stalks) around the top of each gourd and tie them together in a cluster. Attach gourds to a circle of bittersweet. Top it all off with a raffia bow.
U-shape wreath
The unusual shape of this harvest-themed wreath makes it a standout door decoration.
Cut away about one-fifth of a plastic foam wreath to create the shape. Wrap yellow seam-binding ribbon around the wreath. Hot-glue fresh or preserved green salal leaves (commonly called lemon leaf) to the wreath, covering it completely. Glue a cluster of nuts to the bottom center, then add dried wheat, preserved fern fronds, and fresh or silk berries.
Sunburst wreath
Mimic a blazing sunburst with this fall wreath. Fold out the husks on ears of Indian corn so they point straight out from the tops. Hot-glue the ears to a straw wreath, and "fluff" the husks to complete the look.
Nature's artistry wreath
Embellish a square, store-bought magnolia wreath with color-coordinated real and faux materials, including twigs, seedpods and nuts.
Wheat wreath
A wheat wreath reflects your Midwest heritage. Insert dried sheaves into a foam wreath form, then dress up your wreath by slipping the stems of golden maple leaves into the spaces between wheat heads. Use leaves sparingly for the best effect.
Flower and berry wreath
Add hydrangeas, bittersweet and rose hips to a grapevine wreath. Try using freshly cut bittersweet from floral suppliers; once the vine dries, the berries become brittle and easy to knock off.
Acorn ring wreath
Combine moss and acorns to create a simple but lovely fall wreath. Hot-glue moss to a small wire or cardboard ring, then glue acorns to the ring. If needed, secure the acorns to their caps with glue. Hang with a satin ribbon.
Fragrant wreath
Combines dried sweet Annie, dried lavender, purple statice, globe amaranth, and large green kale leaves for a wreath that smells as good as it looks. Experiment with different plants to find the colors and aromas you love most.
Wheat and flowers decor
Bundle wheat with sunflowers and a ribbon bow for a quick-and-easy fall door decoration.
Nuts and leaf wreath
Use a variety of inexpensive fall materials to create this autumn wreath. Just hot-glue artificial leaves, walnuts and hazelnuts (or other hard-shell nuts) in a ring around the front of a grapevine wreath.
Video: How to Make an Any-Season Wreath
Step-by-step: See how to create a lush evergreen wreath for any-season decorating.
Fall monogram
Make a leafy monogram to hang on your door for a touch of fall flair. Paint a papier-mache letter and let dry, then hot-glue dried or silk leaves to the layer in letters. Hot-glue a wire loop to the back of the door for hanging.
Bright leaf wreath
The shape of this wreath makes it distinctive. Use U-shaped pins to attach moss onto a foam wreath form, then hot-glue preserved or artificial leaves. Hang a small pumpkin ornament in the center.
Birchbark Bounty
A hanging birch basket (you can buy one at florists shops or crafts stores) cradles a bounty of fall fruits and foliage. Fill with two or three small gourds, five ears of ornamental corn and 10 wheat stems. Then, add small amounts of rosehips, maple and oak leaves, as well as sorghum and acacia foliage.
Fall plate wreath
For a quick-and-easy wreath, hot-glue pressed leaves (or leaves from a crafts store) around the edge of a platter and hang with a plate hook. The glue peels right off when you want the platter back.
Ornamental corn braid
A harvest of multi-colored ornamental corn highlights this simple wall hanging. Wrap thick strands of rust- and natural-colored raffia around the husks of 10 to 12 ears of corn, leaving approximately 1 foot of excess raffia at the end. Braid the ends together. Finish with a raffia bow and bittersweet branches.
Maidenhair fern swag
A fistful of dried maidenhair ferns (about 2 feet long) and a couple of branches of acacia foliage form the base of this delicate autumn swag. Using plenty of raffia, attach four small ornamental ears of corn and nine stems of wheat to the swag. If you like, you can substitute sweet Annie branches for the acacia foliage.

Hello My name is Phil Grace, I am the tech cooridinator at Heber Springs public schools in Heber Springs, AR. For years our school has been a windows only school that's how it was when I came here 2 yrs ago. I was also a windows only user for years as well until we had virus problems in our business labs that shut them down for about 2 weeks. During that time I was just fed up with windows so I started to look and investigate alternitive os options mainly Linux. I really enjoyed Linux it is a very good system but the desktop isn't there yet. It's not that user friendly and the mainstream software isn't available. So I moved on in my quest and while doing some research I found out that there hasn't been a virus created for OS X. This really intriged me and I wanted to find out more about Apple. So after seeing the machines that Apple is building, and getting a chance to try one it was love at first sight. I had seen the light of the tech world, this wasn't just a temporary fix like anti-virus software, or windows patches, this was the solution. As soon as I got the chance I started moving in the Apple direction for our district. We do have a ways to go but so far about half of the library now has Mac Minis, one of our business labs that specializes in multimedia is all mac, the new server that serves our whole district is now an xserve, we have a mobile lab with iBooks, and I am typing this on an iMac G5 right now. The students are really getting into Macs and iLife, teachers are really enjoying it to. Woz thank you for the contribution that you made to the world of technology, the world needs a company and computer like Apple. Phil Grace Technology Cooridnator Heber Springs School District
In the Pirates of Silicon Valley it appeared that Mike and Steve didnt get along too well.... What was their relationship in real life like??? Same question for Steve and John Sculley.
Mike and Steve got along very well, up until Steve was demoted and the board, including Mike, supported John Sculley. They conversed well and shared similar and constructive thoughts about ways to change the world and to do important things. Mike was the portrayed in the movie in a very inaccurate and unfair way, making it look like he was financially shrewd. Actually, he was intellectually open and contributing and, more than anyone else, he ran and structured the company in the early days, while Steve floated around getting his feet wet at running a company and learning to be a top executive. John Sculley was like Mike in the sense that Steve saw him open to great thoughts, although not as astute in our business. But John was largely Steve's shadow in areas of where we should go with products. Eventually, John was more concerned with the total company operation and keeping things going while Steve wanted to keep advancing on the future, company and profits or not, in his own internally conceived directions. Actually, John Sculley promoted technologies like AppleTalk and PowerTalk and QuickTime and PlainTalk and the Newton. He was very supportive of the rare technical geniuses in the company. He was not just a "marketeer" who dressed things up in colors. Any downfalls in the company that weren't coincidence were probably due more to his marketing mishaps (like not licensing the Macintosh technology in early days) than to hardware ones. This is only my opinion and is based largely on only a few indirect contacts.
You are one of my favorite people in entire world. After seeing Pirates of Silicon Valley, I understand the differences between you and Jobs in 80's. I m being curious about today's relationship between you and Jobs? Has Jobs changed a lot today comparing to early 80's? Like people say, "Wine gets better when it matures in time.."
Whether or not Steve has changed (I believe that he's much better than before) a person like him is needed to carry mankind ahead.
Also, Apple has made a comeback into computer industry and how do you feel about it. Standing mighty PROUD? :)
I'm very glad that Apple is the only company that can make great strides in new directions. A few, like Sony, try but they are trapped by Intel and Microsoft. I'm only proud when people have a better life because they have good computers. When the industry makes positive changes that affect individuals I'm happy.
Thank you so much for replying to my first email! I wanted to ask you if you have seen the movie Pirates of Silicone Valley. If so I am wondering what was the best part of the movie for you? And was there anything untrue in the movie that you would like too bring to my attention? Did Jobs really let people throw food at each other like what was shown in the bar scene of the movie were you quit Apple. Jobs was portrayed too have a rather strong personality and seemed to step on people. Well I've bothered you enough and, can't wait to tell my family that I had the opportunity to speak with you. I am glad you didn't know what your invention was going to turn into because then I would probably not be able to write you tonight....lol thanks for everything.
The personal drives portrayed in the movie were amazingly accurate. So were the key personalities, but not some others. The incidents themselves were all a best try to represent events that really occurred but they often happened much differently or at different times or with different people.
I never quit Apple. That suggestion was based on an incorrect Wall Street Journal that said I was leaving Apple because I didn't like things there. Actually, I had told the Wall Street Journal writer that I wasn't leaving Apple because of things that I didn't like and that I wasn't even leaving, keeping my small salary forever as a loyal employee. I just wanted a small startup experience and a chance to design a smaller product again, a universal remote control.
Hello, I am hoping to contact Mr. Steve Wozniak. I have become interested in the history of personal computers over the last year. Did you see the TV movie PIRATES of Silicon Valley? After seeing that show, I read the book Infinite Loop, which is all about the evolution of Apple computer- very interesting story! Good thing for Steve Jobs that there was and is the WOZ! Are you interested in DVDs? Computer games? The game everyone is holding their breath for now is Quake3- Arena. The 3D videocard accelerators on the market these days are awesome. I currently have a Matrox G400 Max running on a P3-450 machine. I will probably buy an Intel Coppermine 667 next year- he he, it is the only 1990`s processor that has not ended in 0 or 6.My favorite DVD is the DTS version of Saving Private Ryan.Anyway, I was hoping that you might be an E-mail/chat pal!Please E me back! You invented super breakout for Atari! I used to love that game.The classic 1980s game I still like is Centipede.
Hi, this is Woz.
I'm interested in almost everything fun and technical, especially entertainment things like DVD's. I don't have time for all the great computer games but I have sons and I get to see them all. I play a few but I play those few for years and years. I'm hooked on Snood and Spades Deluxe right now. Occasionally I play Solitaire. I play a lot of Tetris on Gameboy and I play very well.
I'm glad to hear that you have such extremely good computer equipment. It's amazing how much a good graphics accelerator can add.
It's best not to get in a lot of email with me. Thousands have the idea. I get 200 emails or more a day and am totally consumed by it and I miss out on family time even. But I do like hearing about what people out there are doing and how they feel.
Hi, I watched the TNT movie, The Pirates of Silicon Valley and I was wondering if you quit your job at Apple because of Steve's behavior during his "leadership" time at Apple, and also what computer were you designing just before you quit?
I never quit. I just left the direct site to develop a remote control on my own. There was a lot of mistaken publicity along the lines that I left because of things that I didn't like there and it's totally wrong.
I'm not sure what your current relationship is to Apple Corporation, if any? I read a comment you made: "I only served at the bottom of Apple's org chart all these years."
Did you ever leave Apple? If so, why? I assume you're still a large stock-holder either way?
I never left Apple's official employee list, but I left direct work inside on a few occasions. After a plane crash, I took a year off to finish college and then sponsored a couple of rock concerts. I came back to Apple and worked as an engineer. Eventually I wanted the fun of the early days and left to create a universal remote control. But I always sort of represent Apple when I make appearances or give interviews.
You are the kind of person who is lacking today...I admire you greatly. I have read some of the early stories, and I commend you for being someone we can all look up to! P.D.
Thanks very much. I'm glad to have inspired so many not for being in charge of the companies that make their products.
My first Mac (which still works) was a 512 "Enhanced" with all the signatures inside. Can you tell me more about this model? Thank You, Susan
Steve Jobs felt that the early Mac should be very closed to have good control over what it was and did. But that left oversights like memory expansion. So the 128K 'first' Mac had to soon be replaced by the 512K model (as RAM prices dropped).
The original Macs had the signatures inside. It's pretty cool. Despite the fact that my plane crash had taken me out of Apple and through college and into promoting rock concerts, many of the Mac team felt that they'd been so influenced by me that they included me among the signaturees.
Can you discuss the nature of your relationship with Steve Jobs at this time? [pre 2000]
I actually like him and what he says. I couldn't treat people the way he does but I've never witnessed it either. He's quite intelligent and makes sense, although he doesn't always listen fully. For example, I might be trying to help and he might hear it more as a worthless complaint. I do not oppose Steve in any way. I'm even amazed if he really pulls off Apple's next decade successfully. I could never manage projects well, as Steve does, now that they are so complex with so many people involved.

Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
