$125 Checking Account Bonus at Mountain America Credit Union in UT, AZ, NV & NM
Mountain America Credit Union has increased the bonus amount of its Facebook checking account promotion. In mid October a reader mentioned a $100 checking incentive. It's now $125. They want you to "like" their Facebook page before they will show you the flyer. If you don't have a Facebook account, here's the direct link to the checking promo flyer (PDF). The flyer provides the following instructions:
Bring this coupon to any branch. Open your new checking account, set up free direct deposit and free eStatements to get your $125 bonus.
There is no expiration date on the flyer. The small print just says it's a limited time offer. This flyer is available Facebook and on MACU's website as of the morning of 11/07/2011.
Checking Account Options
They do offer a free checking account called, MyFree Checking. There is a $2 fee if you want paper statements instead of e-statements. The other checking account is called MyStyle Checking, and it does have potential monthly fees. Some of the fee details are described in the MyStyle Checking FAQ. This account does provide some nice perks, but you have to make sure you can avoid the fees.
Credit Union Membership
Credit union membership is open to members of the American Consumer Council. Council membership costs $12, and is open to anyone. This council is listed in the credit union's SEG Affiliated Associations page. For more ways to qualify for membership, please refer to the credit union's Become a Member page. In my recent email to this credit union, I mentioned that I was interested in becoming a member via this council. Here's the reply I received:
We would be happy to take a membership application for you. If you have a branch near you please visit them with your picture ID. They will need $25.00 to get the account open and going. If you plan on opening a checking account that will require a minimum of $100.00.
If you are not near a branch location you can apply online or call us at 1-800-748-4302.
Large Branch Network
Mountain America Credit Union branches are located in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. Some of the cities with branches include Phoenix, Las Vegas, Albuquerque and Salt Lake City.

A Brief History of the Egg Bowl
The EDSBS Buyer's Guide goes over three of the SEC's big rivalry games this weekend, and it's a highly recommended read as always. Left out, though, is the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. I happened upon this article earlier today, and it's a fascinating read if you're not familiar with the history of the rivalry. It runs about as deep and is as heated as anyone else's rivalry, which means there are some great stories in there. It's a bit dated (published 2003) so it doesn't get into the brewing hate between Houston Nutt and Dan Mullen, but it's still worth your time to get acquainted (if you're not already) with one of the South's great rivalries.

Important Dates to Remember
The month December brings much joy to many families in San Antonio.
Volunteers gather from different schools and organizations to gift wrap the gifts that have been graciously given to the families by our partners. The gift wrapping will be held at University United Methodist Church.
There are families in need….will you help?
The families served by Adopt A Needy Family are in need of the most basic necessities, such as bedding, detergent, hygiene products and clothing. Since the program takes part during Christmas, volunteers buy toys for the children and gifts for parents since they would not be able to afford them.
What is unique about Adopt A Needy Family, is that this program assists the entire family.
It's the small things we take for granted that are so important to those we serve…. Can you give today?
We wake up in the morning and follow our routine; brush our teeth, take a shower, shave, brush our hair and continue the day without giving it a second thought. Did you know there are families that would not be able to do the same without your help.
The needs of the families we serve are year round and can change in an instant. The items listed below are a snapshot of what the families we serve ask for:
- Sheets
- Comforters
- Pillows
- Towels
- Toothbrushes
- Toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Soap
- Shampoo
- Hair Gel

Texas MedClinic delivers Thanksgiving Dinners to needy families
Texas MedClinic partnered with Adopt A Needy Family to help needy families enjoy a great Thanksgiving.
AANF helping families for over 15 years.
For over fifteen years Adopt A Needy Family has been assisting families year round with programs such as utility supplements and back-to-school projects but our main focus is helping needy families during the Christmas season. Every year we look to partners like you who give of themselves to help others.
In the fourteenth year of our Christmas program and in honor of our founder Fr. James Hubert's life work we look forward to assisting families in the poorest neighborhoods of San Antonio. This season, we invite you to consider supporting our efforts through the adoption of a family for Christmas, or through a monetary gift that we will use to purchase gifts for needy families you sponsor. Without Adopt A Needy Family, these families most likely not be able to celebrate Christmas, the most joyous season of them all.
Families in need are identified through social workers and counselors in schools and churches and other nonprofit agencies. AANF staff personally visits the homes to confirm they meet our economic requirements. We also insure that families are not duplicating services with other organizations.
Please consider joining us again in spreading the spirit of Christmas to those families who are less fortunate. We look forward to your participation in this year's efforts and encourage you to join us at our gift-wrapping event at St. Anthony Catholic High School or Program in December.

You have one last chance to participate in a historic cancer study.
It has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations.
The American Cancer Society will host a news conference this morning to officially announce the community-wide enrollment for its Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
It's at 10:00 a.m. at Central Mississippi Medical Center.
The cancer study will run from April 23 through April 27.
The study will end nationwide in 2013.
More than 500 enrolled in 2012, and the American Cancer Society hopes for an even greater turnout this year.
Men and women who are willing to commit to the study must be between the ages of 30 and 65 and never have been diagnosed with cancer.
To enroll, individuals must provide a waist measurement, give a small blood sample, and complete baseline and enrollment survey.
Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to fill out follow-up surveys every few years for the next 20-30 years.
For more information on CPS-3 and to register, visit www.cps3jackson.org.

On Monday, Rupert Murdoch anointed Gerry Baker as the new Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief – with champagne. As you do. Is the pouring of champagne over the head the done thing in US journalism when a new editor is appointed? Or maybe just balding ones? Given the closure of iPad paper The Daily, that Murdoch also announced on Monday, Monkey is reminded of David Brent's famous motivational speech: "Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that Neil will be taking over both branches, and some of you will lose your jobs … On a more positive note, the good news is, I've been promoted, so … every cloud."

History of TRIO Programs
TRiO: We Set the Stage for Success
The history of TRIO is progressive. It began with Upward Bound, which emerged out of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 in response to the administration's War on Poverty. In 1965, Talent Search, the second outreach program, was created as part of the Higher Education Act. In 1968, Student Support Services, which was originally known as Special Services for Disadvantaged Students, was authorized by the Higher Education Amendments and became the third in a series of educational opportunity programs. By the late 1960's, the term "TRIO" was coined to describe these federal programs.
Over the years, the TRIO Programs have been expanded and improved to provide a wider range of services and to reach more students who need assistance. The Higher Education Amendments of 1972 added the fourth program to the TRIO group by authorizing the Educational Opportunity Centers. The 1976 Education Amendments authorized the Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs, initially known as the Training Program for Special Programs Staff and Leadership Personnel. Amendments in 1986 added the sixth program, the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. Additionally, in 1990, the Department created the Upward Bound Math/Science program to address the need for specific instruction in the fields of math and science. The Upward Bound Math/Science program is administered under the same regulations as the regular Upward Bound program, but it must be applied for separately. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 authorized the TRIO Dissemination Partnership program to encourage the replication of successful practices of TRIO programs. Finally, the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 amended the Student Support Services (SSS) program to permit the use of program funds for direct financial assistance (Grant Aid) for current SSS participants who are receiving Federal Pell Grants.

Even though the Dwight Howard trade rumors looked to be coming to a close earlier this week, the internet seemingly knew the saga was far from over. That has proven to the be the case, too, as the Orlando Magic are now looking at new deals in an attempt to trade their disgruntled superstar.
There was a point in negotiations that the New Jersey Nets and Magic looked like they might be able to make a simple two-team deal, but things got out of control fast -- eventually also including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers as ancillary pieces to the puzzle -- and that deal reportedly fell apart earlier this week.
The new buzz revolves around Daryl Morey and the Houston Rockets. The Rockets have been working hard to acquire assets over the past month and now, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, they're dealing with the Magic directly.
Rockets remain strongly engaged w/ Orlando in direct talks for Dwight Howard, sources tell Y! They've spent little time on 3-way scenarios.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 11, 2012
The Rockets have been mentioned throughout the process, but most reports had them grouped into a three-way trade that would also include the Los Angeles Lakers. It's a whole different deal if they're trying to keep LA out of the mix.

All of the former Soviet countries have followed the universal tendency for mortality to decline as infectious diseases are brought under control while death rates from degenerative diseases rise. What is exceptional in the former Soviet countries and some of their East European neighbors is that a subsequent increase in mortality from causes other than infectious disease has brought about overall rises in mortality from all causes combined. Another distinctive characteristic of the former Soviet case is the presence of unusually high levels of mortality from accidents and other external causes, which are typically associated with alcoholism (see Shkolnikov and Nemtsov, in this volume). The variations among republics conform broadly to expectations that mortality from infectious, digestive, and respiratory system disease is highest in the less-developed Central Asian republics and lowest in the Baltic countries and Belarus.
The next two sections of this chapter review data and measurement issues, respectively, that are encountered in examining mortality patterns in the NIS countries. Next we present results for mortality levels and cause of death. We then briefly examine mortality trends during the 10-year period, 1979-1989, preceding the breakup of the Soviet Union. The final section presents a discussion of the results.
The statistical agencies of the ex-Soviet countries share a common heritage of standard procedures and definitions imposed by the former State Committee on Statistics (Goskomstat) across the territories that comprised the Soviet Union. Certain distinctive aspects of this system's approach to the collection and measurement of mortality statistics impinge on the present analysis. While we share the cautious outlook of our colleagues in and out of the NIS with regard to the quality of official mortality statistics for these countries, we consider it appropriate to note at the outset that the statistical system of the former Soviet Union ranks above average by world standards and in some respects outperforms our own in the United States.2 This said, we turn to the complications engendered by former Soviet statistical conventions.
One of the most widely recognized idiosyncracies of former Soviet demographic statistics is the unusual set of definitions applied to the components of the infant mortality rate. Infants under 28 centimeters in length and weighing less than 1000 grams who died within the first week of life were excluded from both the numbers of live births and infant deaths according to the long-standing conventions of Soviet vital statistics (Boyarskiy, 1985). In contrast, the standard international definitions of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider as live births infants who exhibit some sign of life upon delivery (United Nations, 1985). Those definitions have the virtue of transpar-

Waterfoot carpenter helps to preserve the Queen's castle
9:37am Friday 30th December 2011 in Waterfoot By Vanessa Cornall, Crime reporter
A FORMER Accrington and Rossendale student who excelled during his apprenticeship is now a carpenter for the Royal Family.
Peter Kernen, of Park Road, Waterfoot is one of a group of joiners who maintains one of the Queen of England's official residencies – Windsor Castle.
The 20-year-old Peter said: "It's a dream job, I'm working alongside master craftsmen in a remarkable historic building. There's so much to learn about my trade and I never get bored with it.
"The Royal Family are never around when we're working so I don't really get to see anyone even if I'm working in the private rooms."
Peter first realised he was interested in carpentry after doing some work experience while still at school.
Before he knew it he was offered a job and an apprenticeship where he could study for a City and Guilds Level 3 Diploma.
He excelled and by the time he had completed his course last year, he had been encouraged to apply for the Prince's Foundation – the prestigious architecture school and trust founded by the Prince of Wales, and allows young craftsmen to work alongside master craftsmen in historic buildings around the country.
Peter was accepted by the Foundation and spent the next eight months working at places such as York Minster, Windsor Castle and other historic homes and palaces.
He said: "I became hooked on the whole refurbishment and heritage side of my trade.
"Over the past eight months I have learnt so much more and been involved in refur-bishing some amazing pie-ces."
A highlight for him was repairing 300-year-old wooden doors.
He added: "I love the fact that I'm following in the footsteps of amazingly skilled craftsmen."
Peter scooped the City & Guilds' Outstanding Achiever of the Year award which led to the head of Windsor's maintenance and heritage team offering him a job.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - In a news release from Texas Tech University, NewsChannel 11 has learned that Kent Hance, chancellor of the Texas Tech University System, is the 2009-2010 winner of the Outstanding Texas State Leader Award from the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute.
The award will be presented at 1:30 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 16) on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives as the culminating event of the 25th anniversary of the Texas Leadership Forum.
"I am honored and most grateful to receive this award," Hance said. "I appreciate the time and effort put forth by those who participated in the selection process. My life and my passion have been devoted to serving the people of Texas. I love and will always love Texas."
Hance was nominated not only for his work as chancellor, but also for his previous service as a Texas Senator, U.S. Congressman and Texas Railroad Commissioner.
"Chancellor Kent Hance was chosen by a statewide panel of judges to receive the Shepperd Institute's prestigious Outstanding Texas Leader Award," said Robert Burns, director of the Shepperd Public Leadership Institute. "This coveted award not only honors those currently serving the state, but also it is designed to inspire other Texans to follow the exceptional public service example of the recipient. The chancellor has a remarkable record of achievement as a strong and effective Texas leader. He has shown extraordinary skill and tenacity in business, government, education and law. The Shepperd Institute is very proud to bestow it highest honor on Kent Hance, chancellor of Texas Tech."
The John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute was founded to provide Texans an education about leadership, ethics and public service. The institute's goal is to develop a well-rounded leadership program to improve Texans' personal leadership skills, develop their sense of community responsibility, and educate them on the importance of ethics and public service.
The judging panel for the Outstanding Texas Leader Award selects a winner based on proven leadership, exhibition of character and demonstration of high ethical standards. Consideration is also given to the scope and significance of the award winner's accomplishments as a volunteer, elected official, educator, philanthropist, business or religious leader in community or state affairs.
Former winners include former Lt. Governors Bob Bullock and Bill Hobby, Gov. Rick Perry, and former Gov. Preston Smith.
The Outstanding Texas Leader Award was created to honor former Texas Attorney General John Ben Shepperd's belief that it is the duty of every Texan to contribute to his or her community and state. The award is presented each year at the Texas Leadership Forum, the flagship event of the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute.
For more information about the award ceremony, the institute or to reserve tickets, contact the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute at (432) 552-2850 or on the Web at www.theinstitute.us.com.

Amid all the hoopla about machine-to-machine (M2M) applications and the vast potential of the Internet of Things to rewrite the rules of corporate sustainability, one big question tends to be overlooked.
How on earth will all that data being generated by all those devices make its way into the analytics systems and applications that can make sense of the information and turn it into actionable intelligence?
Right now, this task require racks of dedicated computer processors behind-the-scenes -- a formidable obstacle and investment for government agencies and companies evaluating the potential of M2M solutions to address everything from energy efficiency to smarter transportation systems to telemedicine.
But IBM aims to simplify the process with a new server called MessageSight. The product squeezes a process that previously required up to 280 computers into a single 2U rackmount-configured hardware "appliance" that carries an estimated price tag of less than $200,000.
This is a far more energy-efficient approach for M2M business analytics, one that IBM believes will help organizations build related solutions and services more quickly and cost-effectively than in the past.
"Big messaging is something that is an unsung hero in the middle," said Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow and chief technology officer for WebSphere (one of the technologies underlying MessageSight). "It gets things to work in concert with each other and broadcast what they are doing in an easy way that is easy to make sense of."
Harnessing the Internet of Things
The technology has implications for a wide range of M2M applications, particularly those in transportation and telemedicine. Wireless telecommunications company Sprint, for one, is testing IBM's new platform as a means of improving the M2M services it offers to automobile manufacturers through its Velocity telematics platform.
"To realize the vision of a Smarter Planet, we must first enable the universe of instrumented sensors, devices and machines to communicate more efficiently while sharing, managing and integrating large volumes of data at a rate much faster than ever before," said Bob Johnson, director of development for Sprint Velocity.
For example, MessageSight could help accelerate the development of services that connect the maintenance and operational sensors in cars back to the dealer, alerting them of a potentially critical issue or enabling them to unlock the doors remotely if a driver has locked himself or herself out of the vehicle.

Do I need an attorney?
"Sometimes people call me and they have a very small injury, often times I can help them out over the phone give them some direction and give them some assistance to handle it on their own. If you have any type of a serious injury study after study has shown that you're always better off with an attorney particularly an attorney who is experienced in this field."
Additional Information
This is a question clients often ask. No one wants to come out with less in their pocket when the case is over just because they hired an attorney. Obviously if your case needs to be filed in court, having an experienced attorney is a must. But many people, particularly those with minor injures, do handle their own claims without an attorney.
If your injury healed up in a couple of doctor visits, you may want to attempt tackling the insurance company on your own. However, keep in mind you'll be in an adversarial relationship where confrontation is likely. You'll be interacting with a professional who knows all the ins and outs of claims handling. You should also remember the steps you take or the steps you let the insurance company take may deal fatal blows to your case. You may unknowingly damage your claim so bad, an attorney might not be able to fix it later.
Having an experienced attorney can certainly increase the value of your claim. Study after study has borne this out.*
So, do I need an attorney? If you have experience in claims handling, a working knowledge of tort law and the resources to handle a confrontational relationship with an insurance adjuster, you might be able to do just as well on your own. This is particularly true in smaller claims. However, if you don't, or if your injury is serious, you are almost always better off with an attorney.*
* 1995 Allstate Training Manual. ….in settlements under $15,000, claimants with an attorney averaged $7,450, those dealing with Allstate on their own averaged $3,464. (This internal Allstate document revealed claimants with attorneys recovered 2 to 3 times more than unrepresented claimants.)
* Rand Institute study found that auto accident victims who hire attorneys receive about 25% more money than auto accident victims who do not hire attorneys - even after deducting all costs.

Meet Scooter, Jazz and Diago! These three critters are bonded ferrets that will need to be adopted together. They are all 3 year old neutered males that have also been descented and are litter box trained. They all have very different personalities, but are all very sweet, easy to handle, and they do great with cats and older children. Their previous owner sadly surrendered them to the shelter due to a moving situation where they are not allowed to have pets. Diago is very curious about everything and loves adventure and climbing. He is full of playfulness and is looking forward to having a forever home where he will be handled, cuddled, loved and played with every single day. He is very intelligent and is sure to bring his new family a lot of laughter and love. Jazz is a very well mannered gentle giant that deserves a perfect ferret award! He is curious, confident, loyal and very LAZY. Scooter is somewhat lazy as well, but is a big time lover-boy that is very snuggly and likes to give kisses. You are sure to be delightfully entertained every day by this unique threesome.

I have the SCD353, and I recently took vacation videos on the tapes, how do I get those onto my computer so that I can burn them onto DVDs? I can watch them on my computer but that seems to be it.
There should have been a few cable that came with this device, and a CD to install a driver and program on your PCs.
The driver so the device is noticed and the program to remove the items on the device and place them onto your PC.
The cable should have the male end of a usb cord.
Plug that into your PC and the other end into the device.
The device may power on, after being hooked up to the PC.
Now open the software, it may be labeled for use with the device and video.
It should help you from there,
although if you could post a few pictures from the menus you have I could help you further.

Thread: Old hat
09-17-2004, 08:21 AM #1Del Rio Guest
Old hat
Does anyone have something they hold on to from a team? I mean something you have had for years and either are superstitious or just like it so much you can't let it go?
Here's the story of a brave little hat............................................... ..
I was in my junior year of high school and my girlfriend's dad (Raiders fan) bought me a viking hat. I folded the bill and wrapped it with rubber bands and let it sit for the night.
The next day I unfolded it and it was the best damn looking hat I had ever seen. Very basic it was black with a gray viking on the front that was it. Now anyone who likes ball caps knows you can't just run out to Wal-Mart and pick up a really nice one and when you have a nice one you have to hold on to it. ..........so that's what I did.
I roofed in that hat I played football in that hat. And eventually it got the infamous white ring of stench around the base. But still I wore it with pride. My second year of college and this hat was bad looking. I met my wife. We hooked up and I didn't wear the hat around her. Once she left it would go right back on.
I fished in that hat i hunted in that hat and once it even got washed down the Green River luckily I found it on a branch of an overhanging tree, and promply returned the soggy beast back to my head. Well O got a job installing custom cabinets. And of course I wore the hat. It got sweaty and all saw dusty and It was becoming clear that the hat would soon die. My wife had been begging me to get rid of it. But we were married now and had a kid so I had no one to impress and the hat was still worn.
She would hide it and I would end up finding it. She couldn't bring herself to destroy something I liked so much so she alway hid it away from me. We washed it once and I was worried. You all know there are two outcomes of the hat when you wash it? Death or Rebirth. Luckily for me my hat lived on.
That fall hunting season she said before I left I hope you miss your deer. Because there is a rule in our camp if you miss the deer you shoot at the hat of the person who missed. He takes his hat and counts out the yardage you missed at and hangs it from a tree and everyon in your camp gets to shoot at it from that distance the same way you did, kneeling laying down, standing whatever.
So me and my friend of 20 years are hiking through the rocky mountains. Kinda buzzin from the afternoon refreshments. And we stop to figure out where we were and we both feel something looking at us through the tree's. Its a huge ol Mule deer and sure as shit he was only 40 yards away. I drop to one knee and put the cross hairs on his front shoulder and as the adreniline is pumping away I slowly squeeze the trigger and boom. He runs down through the tree's and me and my friend shake hand and go to look for blood.
Now when you shoot a deer from 40 yards away with a 200 grain boat tail bullet it can blow right through unless you hit big bone or something. But we found no blood and we both knew i missed but decided to go back in the morning. Basically in the morning we found no blood, I found my marker from wee I shot and saw that I had actually blown the limb of a tree clean off diflecting my bullet.
I had my scope on 9 power that morning and never changed it back. My hat was gonna die.
We hunt with our dads and uncles and cousins and my dad don't miss. But on this day 11 people missed my hat from 40 yards kneeling. That hat was holy. It has become a myth.
When I returned home with my wife she saw the hat survived and I could tell she was upset so I took the hat and sadly cut it up. I cut the viking patch off the front and my wife sewed it into a onsie for my son that he wears on game days.
For a married man who's wife has had his son and we've been married for a while this one act of destroying my beloved hat has paid off many times in very good ways
That was long I know but this is why we are fans for stuff like this. The way a team can effect your actual life.
If someone else has something they held onto forever let us know.

OK...back in 1990 I was a freshman in college in Long Island, NY. My parents came up to visit me early in the year. The Eagles were 2-4 to start the season and I was miserable. They brought me this stuffed kelly green (old Eagles green) football that said Philadelphia Eagles on it. It wasn't small, it was this BIG football. lol.
I held onto that ball every game for the next 5 weeks...and the Eagles won every game...including one against the Giants...where they killed them 31-13. The week after that Giants game, my dormmates stole the football and hid it from me...pissed off at the run the Eagles had made and especially because of that game vs. the Gmen.
Eagles lost the next 2 games until I got it back....then they rattled off 3 straight wins. But those 2 games kept the Eagles from winning the division over the giants who ended up winning the SB that year. ukeright:
I still have it. It still brings me luck when I hold onto it....for the most part. Too bad I couldn't bring it into the stadium for the past 2 years for the NFCCG. :cry:

Actually, I had an Antonio Freeman jersey several years ago, and whenever I wore it watching a game, they would lose.
So, I stopped wearing it.
Then, I picked up my nice new Javon Walker jersey, and everytime I've worn it, they've won (except for the Philly game, which they actually did win, except for the 4th and 26).
Not superstitious, but jeez...don't mess with success!!!Have you ever seen a race of turtles, and they all go the wrong way instead of towards the finish line?
Welcome to the NFC North.

Interestering stories you guys got. I had my culepper jersey last year and whenever i seemed to wear it they would win excpet maybe san diego and a few other games. Maybe the luck worn out? :cry:Hupo oe ke kau ana i ka waiupa a ma kou pa o & Hupo na Po o waiupa a

Quick, Viking fans. Throw away all of the Vikings gear that you have been holding on for years. This way, the Vikings can make it back to the Super Bowl this year (but win it this time). At the very least, if they don't, maybe the Vikings can make it higher up the NFL merchandise purchased list next year when we all have to buy replacement gear.BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE

Why do I love scones? Let me count the ways. They make a great breakfast, or snack, taste amazing with coffee or tea, and are filling. Apple Cinnamon Scones are a no-brainer in my book. Can you really go wrong with anything apple cinnamon?
I don't make scones the traditional way. These include healthy ingredients like oat flour, real butter, apples, cinnamon and lightly sweetened with stevia. I also don't forget to add a dose of protein, cause really, they wouldn't be a complete snack if they didn't contain any protein.
I was given the opportunity to try the new Jamie Eason's Lean Body® for Her Whey Protein Isolate. You know, the one with the beautiful Jamie Eason on the package. The timing was perfect, as I had been wanting to try it. I've followed Jamie for years, and knew that it must be a great product, and she wouldn't stand behind something that wasn't.
Initially, I tried the Lean Body® for Her Whey Protein Isolate as a shake, and it was amazing! Smooth, with a rich flavor, and no grittiness at all. I knew it would be a great addition to one of my "added protein" baked goods.
This isn't my first scone with added protein, my White Chocolate Raspberry Scones are also great, as well as my Lemon Cranberry Scones and Pumpkin Scones.
Not only would these make a great breakfast on the go, you could also cut these in half to fit into a school lunchbox. A great option for a picky child if you're finding new ways to get them to eat unprocessed snacks and less sugar.
If I could give any advice regarding this recipe, its that the butter contained in the recipe should not be reduced or it won't turn out. Scones simply aren't scones without added fat, so you will not get an even identical result if you don't use butter or some other form of fat. I've played around with these scone recipes a lot, and this amount of fat is the least amount that will still make the recipe a workable one.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Dutch Heavyweight Stefan Struve has definitely seen the highs and lows of an MMA fighter in his UFC career. "Skyscraper" had the rare misfortune to meet power punching Heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos in his UFC debut. Since then, Struve has repeatedly put together two- and three-fight streaks in his 11-fight UFC run. However, each time he's fallen to heavy-handed opponents as he was (T)KO'd in each of his 3 UFC losses.
In his last bout at UFC 146, Struve achieved the second 3-fight win streak of his UFC career with an early submission victory over Lavar Johnson. Now, with less than two weeks before UFC On Fuel 5, Stefan looks to achieve his longest streak by upsetting the undefeated Stipe Miocic.
Karyn Bryant of MMA Heat talked to Stefan Struve about his upcoming opponent and the lessons he's learned as a UFC fighter:
Stipe Miocic was also last seen at UFC 146 where he defeated Muay Thai striker Shane del Rosario. That was Miocic's 3rd consecutive UFC victory in his 9 fight career. Struve is not daunted by his opponents flawless record, though. This will be his fifth UFC match against an undefeated up and comer. He's 3-1 in the other four with his only blemish coming to Travis Browne at UFC 130. Struve says:
I fought a lot of guys in the UFC who were undefeated before they fought me. So, it doesn't really bother me too much.
I think I'm the biggest name he's fought so far. Being undefeated, the only thing that tells me is you haven't fought the guy that was good enough to beat you yet. And I think I'm the guy that's good enough to beat him.
Whether or not Struve is right will be discovered at UFC On Fuel 5 on September 29th. The two will face off on neutral ground in Nottingham, England's Capital FM Arena.

Complete Essays of Montaigneby Michel De Montaigne
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In his Essays Montaigne warns us from the outset that he has set himself 'no goal but a domestic and private one' yet he is one author whose modernity and universality have been acclaimed by each age since he wrote. Probing into his emotions, attitudes, and behavior, Montaigne reveals to us much about ourselves.
The works of the French essayist reflect his views of morality, society, and customs in the late sixteenth century.

A 100 year old woman who saw the Mississippi River flood as a teenager, back in 1927, has returned to Vicksburg to witness The Great Flood of 2011.
When Wydell Hawkins of Forest first learned the Mississippi River at Vicksburg had gone higher than it did in 1927, she asked her son, David Hawkins, to take her back to Vicksburg to see the Mississippi River again.
She had first seen it at age 16 after a long ride from Forest, on dirt roads, in a Model T Ford in 1927.
"What was your first thought when you saw it again?"
"I said where's the water. Ha ha ha," Hawkins laughed. "We didn't have bridges and everything now it's much different."
When she first saw it the Mississippi River had broken the Main Line Levee System north of Greenville and flooded the entire Delta in a rampage, never to be forgotten.
She pointed south of the bridges to the Louisiana side where you could only see water to show us what she saw in 1927.
"Take all of that away, and the tower away, and you will see what I saw," Hawkins said. "It's wonderful the progress they have made."
"Tell me why you wanted to come and see the river today (Wednesday)?"
"I had been here before and I wanted to come again," Hawkins replied.
She expected the water to be much closer to the bridges than it actually is.
So this is what the Mississippi River looks like at the old Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad Station on the day it is a foot higher than it has ever been in recorded history.

For the first time ever, the UFC travels to Toronto for UFC 129. The April 30th card features a welterweight title fight between current champion Georges St-Pierre and top contender Jake Shields. In the co-main event Mark Hominick challenges Jose Aldo for the featherweight championship, and Randy Couture takes on Lyoto Machida.
[UPDATE] - According to UFC president Dana White, Shields and St-Pierre will be paired off in the latest UFC Primetime series leading to UFC 129 in Toronto:
"Yeah we're going to do a Primetime on those two," White confirmed to MMAWeekly.com. "So everything you didn't know about Georges St-Pierre from the other 7 Primetimes, you'll learn in this one."

At the company's latest financial results brief, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has revealed that the Wii U console will be sold for less than its manufacturing costs at launch, implementing a loss-leading strategy that Nintendo has traditionally avoided with previous devices. (via: GI International):
"The Wii U hardware will have a negative impact on Nintendo's profits early after the launch because rather than determining a price based on its manufacturing cost, we selected one that consumers would consider to be reasonable," he said.It's worth noting however, that given the current US$50 disparity between North American launch price and the Australian one, it's likely (although not confirmed) that Nintendo will still be turning a profit from consoles sold Down Under.
The development comes a day after Nintendo had cut their fiscal quarter Wii U sales expectations by half, to 5.5 million units worldwide by March 2013.
The Nintendo Wii U is due to launch in Australia on November 30th 2012, with an 8GB storage Basic Pack selling for AU$349.95, and a 32GB storage Premium Pack (with the Nintendo Land game, console stand, and charging cradle) asking AU$429.95.
In contrast, the North American pricing has been set at US$299 for the Basic, and US$349 for the Premium.

So Rob Ryan is now on board as our Defensive Coordinator. Who are going to be the defensive assistants? Do the Cowboys keep Brett Maxie, Dave Campo, Reggie Herring and the bunch? Or do they go out and hire new assistants? I say Rob Ryan will totally revamp the defensive assistants.
Jason Garrett has the final say on the staff but you know Rob Ryan will have some input on the matter. Most likely this has already been discussed as part of the agreement in his hiring. According to sources (says Jason La Canfora of NFL.com) both sides came away impressed in the interviews Friday, so most likely Jason Garrett and everyone approves of who he might hire (or the type of people he wants on the staff). It will be interesting to see what this staff looks like next year. After that we'll finally get to see what the roster will look like. Of course that will be a process over the course of the entire offseason with the draft and a later free agency signing period

You are now doing what a good psychotherapist describes as "kitchen sinking". Your original, unconstructive, hostile criticism is so obviously flawed that, when your glaring lack of understanding is made apparent, you resort to introducing new, irrelevant considerations into your argument. No matter how useful and helpful my suggestion is, you will find something else negative to throw at it, including the "kitchen sink".
First, you invite me to "test it", assuming that I have not already but also implying that you have done so yourself. If you had tested my suggestion and truly found it to be a "useless exercise", you would share your proof rather than equivocating with "[it] has the potential to trash your system". Did you test it? Did it "trash your system"?
Go back and read the questions which, in trying to be helpful and constructive, I responded to. If you have better answers and suggestions, offer them. If not… well, I'm sure you know what you should do.
Before being so certain of yourself; test it and you will see that your "commonsensical" approach has the potential to trash your system …especially if more than one software shares common files. Registry values, files and folders that were present before you installed a software will (and SHOULD) remain there. A good monitoring uninstaller will remove ONLY what was monitored and added …it should not remove system files that were there previously.
[@JJMich] Fortunately, you do not understand. What the software does is self-explanatory: It "monitors". What the system state was before the monitoring begins is immaterial.
What I call a "trick" is commonsensical, logical and, best of all, it works.
re: TrustLater "trick": may give a false sense of uninstalling previously unmonitored software.
In my understanding of how these types of software work is correct, the "trick" will not work and is simply a useless exercise.
Any uninstaller that monitors an installation looks at all the stuff on your system first …before any new software install; then compares the before & after snapshot. So if your previous "unmonitored" uninstall left traces behind; when you monitor a second install (of similar software with something like this program, it will compare the system before/after snapshot and will recognize those previous traces as being on your system before the "re-install" and would NOT remove them.
Hey, everyone, thanks for all the great informational comments. These have helped me a lot. I wish there were these kinds of comments for all the products on here. Please keep the good information flowing!
Thanks, Ashraf – awesome as ever. I have been using CPM for some time and had no idea there was anything perhaps even better.
Thanks to all who participated in the technical discussion, especially TrustLater. Your "trick" is one of those Things That Make You Go "Duh" and "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Se7en – Mar 19, 2014
…Just to enlighten some of you here… this uninstallier needs to monitor the software while installing. It won't remove already installed or not-monitored software successfully."
So if you don't like the idea of having it monitor your installation because of the possibility it will damage collateral files later during an uninstall, then there's no point in getting the product as an uninstaller.
[@pepe] My pleasure. :) You can get rid of that "Comodo is…. cleanup tasks" or whatever at boot. Look in your Task Scheduler library for a Comodo entry relating to CPM. I don't remember the precise wording but, unless you have other Comodo products installed, there should only be one. I is safe to delete but, if you want to be extra cautious, just disable it for now and, when nothing bad happens after next reboot, you can delete the task entirely.
NOTE: Look here for any left-over Comodo pending-remove entries in your Registry:
If you find any for software that you KNOW was successfully removed, you can delete their Values safely.
To quadruple-check, you can also look for a Log of any pending actions here:
C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Programs Manager\PowerRemover.txt
SoftOrganizer and Comodo Programs Manager do run on the same system (mine are XP, 7, 8.1 ; all 64Bit) without any conflicts.
[@pepe] Hey there! SoftOrganizer can be configured to monitor all software installations (just as Comodo Programs Manager (CPM) does) OR you can launch its monitor by right-clicking on an installer and selecting "Monitor with SoftOrganizer" in the context menu OR you can launch the main interface and install/monitor from there.
I also have CPM installed and running in the background and like its ability to (supposedly) uninstall drivers; and its ability to create its own backup/restore installer. HOWEVER, I have never tried to use its "backup/restore installer" after uninstalling a program with it. Frankly, I don't trust that it could do the job properly: Registering any DLL's, file associations, Registry entries, etc. Also, in some cases, it creates two files that have are referenced at boot (after BIOS/UEFI but before the OS loads) which can REALLY trash your System if everything doesn't execute **perfectly**. (BTW, you may also notice that you have a TaskScheduler entry for Comodo that you didn't create personally but which sometimes may run at boot… even if there is no uninstallation in progress. I have seen CPM itself leave a Registry trace it created! ) CPM does too much "behind closed doors" for me to totally trust it. I need to know what is being done so, that if something goes wrong, I know where to start looking too fix it. I use and love several Comodo products but CPM is not my go-to installer/uninstaller.
SoftOrganizer, besides having other included facilities, tells me EXACTLY what it is doing and THEN shows me any changes to my System as soon as it completes an installation or BEFORE it removes any traces following a standard uninstall.
Another very cool feature is that you can tell it to continue monitoring a software's installation even if the installer requires a reboot to finish installation. A really great feature, IMO.
Finally, if you ever need help, their Tech Support is absolutely top shelf. The main developer himself probably will be the one who responds to your requests.
Oh! Did I mention that I like SoftOrganizer? :-)
I loV3 this Program. Have been using it for about three years when it was still called FullUninstall (which is a better name IMO.) Besides their GREAT tech support, the best feature is that you can immediately see all the changes made during a software's monitored installation and, in the case of the Registry, jump to any entry right from the program's interface. The only complaint that I have is that it is very, very s-l-o-w in preparing-to-trace and in preparing-to-display installation results. To be fair though, it has a lot of work to do.
@SaNad @Freeze – Hello. If you have already uninstalled a program using its own uninstaller or any third-party utility, then even SoftOrganizer will probably not be able to locate/remove all remaining traces. The information necessary to do that simply will no longer be available in Windows. Many programs, especially antivirus programs for example, are notorious for leaving behind traces that only their own special-built tools can find.
A trick I use, in these cases, is to REINSTALL the program while monitoring the reinstall with something like SoftOrganizer and then uninstalling it with the same tool. Now, you can be reasonably sure that everything will be found and removed. Ciao. :)
Is this another one of those programs that monitors an installation, and if not everything was turned of during the installation, you are in danger of removing something you didn't want to remove when preforming an uninstall?
