How to Send Cookies to Soldiers
My mother-in-law's son has been sent overseas to join the troops there, and we recently got an email from her with the address to send him letters, care packages, etc.
She found some excellent info about how to bake/pack/ship cookies to send overseas, and it looks so very helpful, I thought I would include it here.
The part in italics was written by my mother-in-law, and the rest is from The Cookie Lady (I'm honestly not sure whether the very last line is a joke, or not).
If you feel motivated to bake, below are tips from The Cookie Lady, who has sent 1.6 million cookies to service personnel in the Middle East. She has "crumbs" who help with the baking. (Brett's personal favorite is choco chip.) During summer, M&Ms should be used instead of chips – and avoid sending other choco products, as they won't survive the 115 degree daytime temps.
I use the recipes off the packages of chocolate chips and oats. If you do not have time to bake from scratch, "extra moist" or cake mix that contains pudding makes a very good cookie. The basic recipe is 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 2 large eggs per box. You can be creative by adding Rice Krispies, raisins, white chocolate chips, M&M's, etc. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes (but underbake at least one minute).
If you send peanut butter cookies or any cookies that contain nuts, please label each bag "contains nuts."
Underbake the cookies about one minute to preserve the freshness.
In humid environments, add 1/2-1 tsp. of baking powder per batch.
Chocolate chip (substitute with M&M's May-October), oatmeal-raisin, peanut butter and snickerdoodles are the most popular cookies.
Freeze the cookies until you are ready to ship them.
Avoid sending moist breads (such as banana bread) during humid summer months--they mold quickly.
I use regular fold-top sandwich bags, no zip-locks. Put 6 cookies front to back in the bags and twist-tie them. It will look something like a "tube." (see photo). Be generous with your packing material which can be Styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, plastic grocery bags, or shredded paper. Nest the cookies in the packing material. With careful packing, you can get 5 dozen cookies, individual packets of drink mix, i.e., cocoa, tea bags, Kool-Aid, etc., hard candy and your letter in each box.
Any toiletries should be packed in separate boxes from the cookies.
Include notes to the soldiers thanking them for their service to the country. Ask them for names and addresses of other soldiers, especially those who get little/no mail.
Due to the large number of boxes we send and the increase in postage, for individual requests we are using the new Flat Rate Box #1 which measures 12x12x5 1/2. Effective January 18, 2009,shipping costs for the Large Flat Rate boxes for Military are $11.95. The Small Flat Rate boxes are $10.35. These "Priority Mail" boxes, the customs forms (I use 2976-A) and pre-printed return address labels come in units of 25 and are available at no charge. Simply go to the USPS website or call 1-800-222-1811. These supplies will be delivered to you at no charge. For only a few boxes and customs forms, visit your local Post Office.
Once the box is full, shake it to ensure that nothing is moving. Add more packing if necessary, especially in the corners.
Make sure that all boxes are securely taped. Seal all edges of the box.
You must have the name and address of a specific soldier.
A customs form is required. On form 2976-A there is a space asking what you want to happen to the box if your soldier is not available. I check "abandon." Also write in, "Do not return." Your postal employees will assist you in filling out the form if necessary. I suggest you have your box ready for shipment before you get to the Post Office. It is not necessary to leave the box unsealed for inspection by the postal employees.
Some restrictions: No alcohol, no pornographic or suggestive materials, no pork, no bulk shipments of religious material. If in doubt, check with your Post Office.
If the cookies are too hard by the time of arrival overseas, the soldiers can use them as weapons.
UPDATE ON THIS STORY from my mother-in-law:
One caution -- folks in general should NOT send homemade treats to
soldiers they don't know. Soldiers have been instructed to throw away
homemade items from strangers. For their own safety, I guess. It helps
prevent food-related allergic reactions, illness from unsanitary
preparations, and outright tampering with the food. Store-bought goodies
only -- and NO choco at this time of year. The Girl Scout cookies will
remain in the freezer until winter!
My Care Kit arrived on my doorstep yesterday. Six boxes: 2 med, 2
medium-document shape (like a shirt box) and 2 large boxes, special
packing tape, mailing labels and customs forms. Very nice for the P.O.
to do that for our service personnel.

Well, it's about damn time we got a peek at teen queen Lindsay Lohan in Utah, and TMZ does not disappoint.
Lohan was seen taking a break from the rehab center where LL is trying to understand what being sober is like. The actress was sighted at Orem's Beached Tanning Center getting herself a $20 bottle of spray-on tan before she headed on over to Gold's Gym for a workout.
You can never be too far from a tan & a gym, I've always said. Even if you're head over heels in DUI's….

The 30th Annual World Championship Rodeo is this weekend at the St. Joseph County fairgrounds.
World class riders and ropers are in town for the event, which raises money for the St. Joe County Sheriff's "posse," otherwise known as the mounted police.
Those that work in the touring rodeo business say the event has quite a reputation.
"It's so good, you know, I'm excited. Last night's rodeo was just phenomenal. I mean, South Bend, Indiana - you hear about the rodeo all over the country," says rodeo clown Mike Wentworth.
The rodeo began Friday night with crowds estimated in the thousands.
Competitions continue at 7 o'clock tonight and 6 o'clock on Sunday.
Organizers say the event is the only fundraiser for the 21-man mounted police force, which is not funded in any way by the county police.

Ah, HackMaster, you will be missed. But fear not, dear, sweet bastard amalgamation of teen memories and very popular RPG of the 80's that featured the important ampersand between two identical letters and proceeded with the first letter of the English alphabet, I will return to you. Perhaps I'll even continue playing the same character I left off with when I see you next.
Ed had decided that it was time to shelve the system for a while--and I'll semi-bitterly state that he was unwilling to even let me take the reigns and run a short HackMaster campaign. Such was his increasing bile for the game. He promised, under threat of being pelted by dice, that we would return to HackMaster, though. "After all," he blithely argued his case, "my column title is Hack for More."
Next came the important decision of what would become our system for the next few weeks as Ed let time heal his HackMaster wounds (1 hit point per day, 2 if he did nothing but rest). There was much discussion and debate. Seth, having only recently returned to the gaming fold was familiar with very few games that did not contain ampersands or were made by Palladium (and I have no fond memories of Rifts). This gave me, his co-worker, who he saw daily, the advantage of manipulating his vote. Suggestions were given by all parties and shot down. In the end, I was able to build enough support and enthusiasm to carry my second favorite non-generic game (GURPS gives Seth heartburn) into the winning position. We were to play Fading Suns. For the idly curious, my favorite game (generic or not) is In Nomine and no body else seems to like it, except for that guy in Alaska--looks like Jeff Freeman was right.
I've had many pleasant experiences with Fading Suns including (but not limited to) a prior campaign run by Ed. Sure, his was a runaway train of a campaign, but I recalled Ed running the game in such a way that it gave me what I looked for when I engaged in the so-called "art" of role-playing. I had fun. I don't really care about the pretentious aspects of gaming or the art of character development or trying to win by min-maxing. When I play a role-playing game I simply want to have a (minimally side-tracked) Good Time (patent pending).
To that end, I always try to create characters that I'm going to have a Good Time when wearing their persona-shoes. In Fading Suns, I've played maniacal merchants, heretical Avestites (my preferred FS archetype) and genetically-created bio-beings, but I had yet to play a noble. Now was my chance. I generated (one doesn't "roll up" characters in these modern RPGs, dah-link) a Decados baron who I loosely envision will be an even more unflappable and acerbic version of Alan Cumming's Lord Rochester in Plunkett & Macleane. ...And if you've not yet seen or heard of Plunkett & Macleane, well you've heard of it now and you should rectify that not-seeing of it. If you have seen it, perhaps you should consider seeing it again.
For two weeks (two weeks!) we sat around my coffee table (a sturdy, oaken thing that wouldn't be caught dead in Ikea) and contemplated character concepts. By virtue of both knowing the basic tenets of the system and being an exceedingly bossy jerk (or, as I like to call it: assertive) I had my character concept put onto paper before anyone else had really thought about theirs. Already, without realizing it, I had put a wrinkle into the game.
There's something to be said for the earlier days of gaming: it was much easier to get a party together. Despite a character's race or class, they were adventurers. There were common goals from the start: Adventure, treasures, glory! However, the game dynamic was altered as these "plebeian" styles were discarded in favor of caste gaming. Remember when an assassin, a half-orc barbarian and a cleric could all work together as a team and no-one would bat an eye?
Thief: Hey, Paladin, why don't you stand outside the rented room while we "chat" with this henchling?
Paladin: Duh, okay. Don't do anything naughty, now.
All players: Tee hee!
Honestly, did anyone really care about the racial frictions of D&D for more than 10 seconds? Now, however, there were concerns about certain character concepts not being able to withstand my Decados noble, by virtue of the character's caste regardless of how I intended to play the character. It's a sort of forced animosity amongst characters that came along with the game which was more pervasive within the player group than, say, Dwarf vs. Elf racism. ...There's a whole social commentary lurking in here about racism vs. other social prejudices, but a guest spot of a column on RPG.net doesn't seem the best place to rant.
So, even after two weeks (two weeks!) of character generation, I was still the only one with a character, even after announcing that I would gladly play something else if others knew what they wanted to play. I had been trapped by my own machinations. By my own scheming the vote was cast and Ed was determined to take a break from HackMaster by actually running a game (or more) of Fading Suns--unless we acquiesced to his sudden suggestions of GURPS: Traveller. By the end of the second week we still didn't have a team. Or even a varied and sundry collection of characters. Things were beginning to look bleak.
Fortunately, on the eve of the third week, Seth had a character concept he could put to paper: a cynical, near seminary drop-out cleric. After a few minutes of awkward role playing in which it was realized that (due to those stated in-book stereotype responses) our characters were unlikely to form an immediate alliance as strangers, Ed suggested that perhaps our characters would already have a pre-game history together. Seth's surly monk was my dandy's confessor. And all was as right with the world as it could be when a flashlight costs 80 credits--excuse me, Firebirds.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they're paying in 80's pseudo-motorcars when playing Fading Suns? It is just me? Ah, okay. Thanks, I guess.
Seth was not well-read on the Fading Suns universe and I, though I had played in many prior campaigns, wasn't too aware of certain world-points, either. Apparently, nobles only duel with swords. Hopefully you can understand my confusion then when offered to "choose my weapons" in a duel with a Hazaat noble--who felt his honor besmirched by my sleeping with a family member (or two, or three)--I initially opted for pistols before settling on blindfolded midgets with shotguns. Hey, I thought I had a choice, here!
What began as sort of a humorous probe on our characters' mentalities by Ed quickly became the adventure hook. A mini-duel and a burning plantation (my character is not only a baron, but a tobacco baron) set the wheels in motion to get our characters off-planet. Fearing my volatile nature (and rightly so!) Ed assured me that he was not dicking me around in my initial point expenditures. To my credit, I did not�assume that he was cheating me out of my painstakingly allotted character points.
It was a short, but immensely enjoyable session. Even despite Ed's goading us even while we were playing to switch to GURPS: Traveller. If last night's two hours of gaming were anything to go by, I won't be missing HackMaster that much any time soon. Unless, you know, I want to play a dwarf-hating elf or something of that ilk.� �TQo�0~^�DҒt< ���� �ek��&Ǿ$�\۵������ZF��ȃuw��ݝ������I��ŃU ���Q�Y����ir2�H��R�2.u3MF�o�ع�q]4#A`pP5�(b��������&)���b�)ⰾ���p���7(��i���<��[-2g�L#�5[f� �g��?�*rV��G��f��8��*)��s'+20�ϟ��̑F����}�KB�<7����w��S�L�\����gb�����v���m9��W��iR���ބYŜv�d�y0'p2�I_�Fc��2>#o���A� )VL[Qk�?�3�`)<�У[�(*W.��J�H �?�t�X���C�t谙��� X�:@� \0w�~LqĤ��E�����-���r�F�k���Y���j�4q� �5��A�Q6�[�A�xG� [�>��w|?( f��ХθY䝛��$�c=�_����qN�ĦoǸ>O��_�|��&���/_M�i�7�"�宥��C�Чk0d��ӷ�L�h����;T�mu�C����G��U�-!�Ul{ �h�<\�bQX.�~���"��O�2*yP���cz���!�Gg�

Bell's Safety Symposium Advises Latin American Operators
More than 100 people attended Bell Helicopter's Latin America regional safety symposium for rotorcraft pilots and technicians, held August 11 at the São Paulo World Trade Center in Brazil. The event, which coincided with the annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, highlighted Bell's support of the International Helicopter Safety Team's mission to establish partnerships in countries with significant helicopter operations and encourage development of safety interventions.
Presenters included pilots from Bell's training academy, local Bell customer service engineers, regional safety experts and representatives from the local government.
Among the topics discussed were safety management systems and human factors awareness training. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Aviator Sydney Velloso da Silva Jr. from Brazilian accident investigation and safety agency Cenipa related the importance of such subjects in flight safety.
"We were pleased with the attendance at this event," said Steve Woolston, director of product support for the rotorcraft manufacturer's customer support and services organization. "It's encouraging to see the message about the importance of safety being spread across the globe."

Now that is a LOT of coax! CMTS?I'm not normally a fan of zipties, but those appear to have been done properly (not so tight they're crushing the cable)Nice work!--Boone County Scanner Feed:»boone.mo.scanamerica.us/"When the hammer drops, the bullshit stops"
Now that is nice! ADC punch blocks for all the audio...Video looks good too!
1 recommendation
Thanks for the positive response. The zip ties were only used on audio and video cables. Red and black velcro straps were used on the network cables....(cat6)
Audio and video equipment, very nice. Purple coax is usually a sign of the company TV Magic...did they do the install?--This Space for Rent...
If youre ever in NYC, do the NBC studio tour. You get some tiny glimpses of cabling, but damn it looks nice, just like the OPs photos.Would have taken photos, but yeah, they are really particular about banning cameras there...
Those splitters are just crazy.
Wow...that splitter pic is impressive!
It does look like some larger splitters could cut down the number needed.
KUDOS to your equipment installers! Nice variety of color.
We did have 4 and 5 output splitters in but when we did our testing the db's were not where they should have been. So the engineer redesigned it....
That's the problem with automation. Gone are the days with a control room full of people, it's just a guy with a keyboard hitting next, next, next. Unfortunately when something goes wrong, or breaking news happens, chaos erupts.I've always loved working in the production trucks. No automation there and plenty of "push and pray" production.--This Space for Rent...
I noticed you label your terminated data cables behind the patch pannel too, this is something I always liked to do but was always told is unnecessary what is the reasoning you find to do it? Do you do it on all projects or just places like studios? Some argue that the likley hood you'll have to repunch down all the cables to a new patch panel is unlikley in the lifespan of that cabling anyways.What com system is the studio using? Something from Telex or others?For your RF distribution to the TVs what's the setup with those splitters are you taking a few different amplified signals off of some equipment and distributing it to multiple pairs of splitters or are you just taking one amplified signal and splitting it a bunch of times?I was just actually looking for a time clock to use for some stuff, is the timeclock in the studio just connected to a timecode generator or is it a separate system? Who makes the clock?I'm looking for something to just use on remote shoots that I can use to countdown or that can display runtime / clock time so I have a larger clock display that everyone can see.Do you need any type of licenses from your state to install these systems or do you hire on an electrical contractor for example to do anything that would require a license?
I can only dream of producing something that looks like that! Very nicely done!
wow so many densite boxes! nice, I used a pair of densite (think mirandas also?) on an install couple years ago--BellSouth sucks

Last week Bryn Renner and the North Carolina Tar Heels offense (led by head coach Larry Fedora and offensive coordinator Blake Anderson) faced some tough reactions from not only fans, but college football analysts. While the score was more lopsided than the game really was, Renner was blamed by many for not getting the offense going and having successful scoring drives. However, it's not Renner's fault! In fact, Renner is off to a decent start to the season and kept a streak alive in pursuit of breaking records.
With a streak that began in last season's loss against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Renner has since gone 134 pass attempts since his last interception. Granted the odds are that he, like any quarterback, will throw one this season, the streak is impressive. There are only two other active quarterbacks in the country that have a streak longer than Renner's.
The school record for most pass attempts without an interception is held by Oscar Davenport with 154 attempts thrown. Davenport set that record in the 1996-97 season.
2013 could also be a record breaking year for Renner and the Tar Heels as he could break some passing records!
Sitting with 6,650 career passing yards at UNC, Renner is just behind two other alumni before he can claim the record himself. Renner will more than likely surpass Darian Durant's 8,755 yards, and could even pass TJ Yates' 9,377 yards with enough work.
The next record Renner could, easily, break is passing touchdowns. He is just three touchdowns behind Yates' 58 career touchdowns and thirteen behind Durant's 68 touchdowns.
Renner could even compete and pursue the record for most completions in a career at UNC and the most attempts. He has 542 completions and needs to reach 702 to pass Durant and then 795 to surpass Yates. Renner also has 817 attempts. Durant is second on that list with 1,159 behind Yates' 1,277 attempts.
Renner does currently hold the record for completion percentage with a .633 percent. The rest of the top-5 for completion percentage at UNC is Yates (.623), Durant (.605), Oscar Davenport (.599), and Jason Stanicek (.598).

Top 10 waiver wire pickups for Week 4
9/25/12 in NFL | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
Jerome Simpson (MIN): Simpson is known best for what was perhaps the most electrifying play of the 2011 season, and a lot of people I've talked to have been wondering where he went. Well, he's been on the Vikings, but he was suspended. Now returning from his suspension, Simpson immediately gives the Vikings a much needed field stretching presence. Wide receivers not named Percy Harvin caught a combined three passes on Sunday, so Simpson will likely be targeted early and often.
Ramses Barden (NYG): Barden caught nine of the ten passes thrown his way on Thursday night for 138 yards - never expect a performance like that out of him again (unless Nicks or Cruz get hurt again). What you can expect, however, is a heavy dose of Barden in what was formerly Domenik Hixon's number three receiver position. Hixon was the third receiver for the Giants the first two weeks, catching four passes for 67 yards. Barden more than doubled those totals in one game.
Tight Ends
Kyle Rudolph (MIN): Rudolph was second on the Vikings in targets on Sunday with six, catching five of those balls and scoring two touchdowns. He's a big, skilled tight end with strong hands, and is a highly trusted red zone presence. His weekly fantasy output will depend heavily on whether or not he scores a touchdown, but when the Vikings are in the redzone, he's their top option in the passing game, so he should get plenty more scores.
Cardinals: I think most of the world finally agrees - the Cardinals are for real. Not necessarily as a Super Bowl contender, but as a legitimate team that you'd rather not play. They've gone through two straight weeks of holding high powered offenses in-check, and they'll face off against the Dolphins on Sunday. With St. Louis, Buffalo, and Minnesota in the following three weeks, it's a defense you can stick with for a while.

Documents uncovered by a legal watchdog group prove Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was involved in the Obama administration's legal defense of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "ObamaCare."
Advertisement-content continues below
Judicial Watch has released a number of administration communiqués that show Kagan, who was then Solicitor General, presided over the president's response to lawsuits asserting the government health care bill is unconstitutional.
On January 8, 2010, Brian Hauck, Senior Counsel to Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, wrote to Kagan's deputy, Neal Katyal, asking for the office's assistance in "how to defend against the inevitable challenges to the health care proposals that are pending." Three minutes later, Katyal replied, "Absolutely right on. Let's crush them. I'll speak with Elena and designate someone." After Katyal volunteered, Kagan responded, "You should do it."[1]
A few hours later, Katyal updated Hauck, writing, "Brian, Elena would definitely like OSG [the Office of Solicitor General] to be involved in this set of issues." Katyal added,"I will handle this myself, along with an Assistant from my office, (Name Redacted – BJ), and we will bring Elena in as needed."(Emphasis added.)
The Justice Department continues to withhold a series of e-mails that would disclose Kagan's exact role in the negotiations. However, it has turned over the Vaughn index, which describes the items being stonewalled in general terms. These include seven e-mails written from March 17-21, 2010. Kagan was copied on three e-mails that discuss "what categories of legal arguments may arise and should be prepared in the anticipated lawsuit." Another four dealt with "expected litigation" against the health care law; Elena Kagan wrote one of the four being withheld.
Advertisement-content continues below
In the same week, Perrelli announced a White House meeting "to help us prepare for litigation." Katyal wrote Kagan, "I think you should go, no?" Kagan ended the paper trail cold, responding, "What's your phone number?"
This White House and its allies have a history of producing documents that airbrush high-level attendees out of controversial meetings. The Center for Public Integrity has declared the White House visitor logs are "riddled with holes."
Once Kagan had been nominated for the High Court, Katyal decided Kagan had never been involved in the proceedings in the least.
One year ago yesterday, Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler wrote an e-mail acknowledging Katyal was "point" (of reference) on defending ObamaCare, but asking him, "Has Elena been involved in any of that to the extent SG office was consulted?" Katyal responded, "No, she has never been involved in any of it. I've run it for the Office, and have never discussed the issue with her one bit." (Does anyone innocent speak that way?) Katyal later insisted Kagan had been "walled off from Day One."
After Katyal alerted Elena to the inquiry, a jittery Kagan jumped in, instructing Schmaler, "This needs to be coordinated. Tracy, you should not say anything about this before talking to me."
This author noted in February that Barack Obama refused to produce documents revealing Elena Kagan's role in defending ObamaCare. (Obama has long engaged in selectively enforcing the law on FOIA requests.) The reason is simple: without her vote, the signature bill of his presidency is likely to be found unconstitutional.

One intriguing free agent prospect this off season is Green Bay Packers defensive lineman B.J. Raji. Scheduled to hit free agency next week, it would appear as if re-signing him is not on the top of the Pack's priority list.
From what I understand on BJ Raji, he is weighing all options. Retuning to GB is one, and he enjoyed his time there. But it's all in play
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 6, 2014
Obviously because Raji is in Green Bay, the connection is automatically made with Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey. Because Dorsey's last gig was in the personnel department with the Packers, he had a hand in drafting Raji. The pro bowl lineman has had a good run in Green Bay racking up 10.5 sacks and an interception — with a touchdown…what? — during his first five season.
Though his natural position is playing the nose tackle, Raji has been moved around on the line to defensive end. Indications are he prefers the nose tackle position, which could be a deal breaker, considering the Chiefs have one of those already in Dontari Poe.
Still, bringing in Raji for a visit and seeing how he worked out on the line as a run-stuffing defensive end wouldn't be a horrible idea.
What do you think, Addicts? Should the second half of the "discount double check duo" take his act to K.C.? Sound off below.

As everyone knows, I am always on the look out for new xmas cookie recipe and I am pretty picky. This is good enough to make my list!
Makes about 3 dozen
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 sticks butter (8 oz) at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 molasses
- 36 miniature peanut butter cups chilled (Reese's)
- Confectioners sugar for rolling
In medium bowl mix together flour, soda. Whisk in ginger, cinnamon, pepper and salt. Using mixer, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and mix in molasses. Scrape down bowl and add flour mixture in two batches, mixing on low until combined. Turn dough out on to large piece of wax paper or plasitic wrap and form a ball. Chill for one hour. Preheat oven to 350. Working with 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, mold dough around each peanut butter cup to enclose completely. Bake until tops are slightly crackeled, 12 – 14 minutes. Transfer cookies on to rack and cool 5 minutes. Roll cookies in confectioners sugar then return to rack to cool completely.


text: Change is not really a bad word Timothy and I appreciate,probably more than most, a suggestion outside the box. It makes it easier for the barony and for people who want to become an elfsea defender to come to one event and not two or more during the year. The only defender competitions across the kingdom I have seen outside the home group defender event have been the A&S Champion and the Bardic Champion. There are probably more examples of this but I kow that Steppes and Stargate do this. Make Elfsea Defender( which is the only Baronial central region event on the kingdom calendar until Steppes Twelfth night) something that everyone wants to attend. Keeping all the defender events at this event will only increase attendance( good for the competitions, good for the barony, good for our tithe to the kingdom). Many people expect Rapier and Chivalric tourneys to be fought at the same defender event. It would be difficult to break from this mode and not have both suffer at least initially. Elfsea Springfaire is something truly unique among baronial events. Many baronies have events already locked into a certain theme or feel. With this fun event Elfsea can explore all kinds of different themes and really give the populace and the kingdom a breath of fresh air. This is something truly unique and should be treasured and protected and taken advatage of. Moving any defender tourney to springfaire could have a negative effect on any theme held at elfsea springfaire. just my .02 worth Master Richard Fairbourne

These Father Christmas poems are examples of Christmas poems about Father. These are the best examples of Father Christmas poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
It was Christmas Eve and growing late;
This was the last of his paid Santa dates.
Still dressed in his red Santa gear,
He stepped inside to have a beer.
One pint soon turned into two,
Then half a dozen before the hour was through.
Nobody was waiting at home for him,
So he chased the beer with three shots of gin.
He stumbled outside the neighborhood bar;
His one bedroom apartment was not too far.
He started walking on unstable feet,
When a father and a young daughter he happened to meet.
"I wonder, Santa, if you can help us out;
My little Sarah is starting to have some doubt.
She told me tonight in her hospital bed,
That she thinks Christmas and Santa both are dead."
"I snuck her out of her hospital room;
We were really lucky to find you so soon.
Could you please give her just one good reason
To still believe in the holiday season?"
He took a deep breadth of the cold winter air;
Even drunk he could feel the father's despair.
He simply put his finger to the side of his nose
And let out three hardy, "Ho, ho, ho's".
"If you're the real Santa," she challenged him,
"Then what is my Christmas wish?"
"If he's the real Santa," she said to her Dad,
"He could give me my Christmas gift."
Charlie looked at the father for a clue
He shrugged, not knowing what to say,
Somehow in an instant Charlie knew
And he answered Sarah in this way:
"You didn't wish for toys or other things,
The way other kids do when they come to my place.
You just want your father to look at you
Without a sad look upon his face."
She turned to her father and said through tears,
"I'm sorry Dad, I didn't mean to make you sad.
But you really did find me Santa Claus,
This is the best Christmas I ever had."
Charlie turned to the father and softly said,
"Now, I think it's time you take her back.
Either way, things are going to be okay,
You need to accept that as a matter of fact."
Charlie was left standing all alone,
As snowflakes started to fall.
In his loudest voice he shouted out,
"Merry Christmas and Good-night to all."
Is your go-to lunch roast beef sandwich?
Tomorrow you might want turkey instead
Here is why
In gen. red meat- such as roast beef
Not as healthy as other kinds of protein
Tends to have more cholesterol
Often has more saturated fat
Both things are bad for your heart
Eating too much red meat
May linked to colon cancer
This does not mean
You should never eat beef or other red meats
Just go easy on them
Tasty Swaps

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.
Oh sweet little Christingle girl
Your daddy is so very far away
"Bring my daddy safely home"
These are the words you pray
Oh sweet little Christingle girl
Daddy is away at the war
"Bring my daddy safely home
Bring him safely to our door"
Oh sweet little Christingle girl
How she misses daddy far away
How sad she is, he won't be home
To be with them on Christmas day
At Sunday school she made a christingle
She took an orange to represent the world.
And to symbolize the blood Christ shed
She took the red ribbon from her curls
Then she decorated four tooth picks
With fruits and sweets and marshmallows
These she placed in the four corners
To represented all the earthly souls
Then finally in the centre of the orange
She stood a single candle of purest white
And when lit, the candle represented
The world filled with Christ's loving light
The sweet little Christingle girl
Took it home with her that day
And stood it in the window
So daddy would find his way
And the sweet little Christingle girl
With her daddy so very far away
Knew that when he did come home
That would be their Christmas day
Long ago, one Christmas morn, in a stable a child was born
Innocent, helpless and small
How could we believe He'd someday die to save us all?
On His mother He depended for his every need
How then could we imagine it would be by His blood alone that we'd be freed?
Growing up in a time and place so different from Heaven above
Living and dying here on Earth, what a symbol of His love.
To the cross He lovingly went
Knowing it was for our sins alone that He had been sent
Dragging His cross up to that hill where men were condemned to die
Jesus, our Savior suffered the fate while we were all passed by.
"King of the Jews," that's what the sign had read.
Hanging just above His thorn crowned head.
Blood spilled from nail driven hands and feet
As Christ suffered a death most bitter and sweet.
The pain and agony He lovingly endured
To give us the gift of salvation, most blessedly assured.
He never counted the cost of a price that was oh so high
Giving up His last breath so we may never have to die.
Today He walks amongst us, having conquered the grave.
Loving, hoping and waiting for us to accept the gift that He gave
When on that day so long ago He died in our place
Proving the power of God's most amazing grace.
So this Christmas morning before you race for the tree
Take a moment to thank God for Jesus, for the gift of life eternally.
But don't stop there, unwrap that gift of salvation today
What better way is there to tell Jesus………Happy Birthday?!
It's Christmas Eve and through the house
There creeps a curious little mouse.
He climbs into the big arm chair
And finds the cookies waiting there.
He only takes the smallest bite.
Santa will find his treat tonight.
He gazes with wonder at the tree
And the bright wrapped gifts left there to be
A mystery tale to tell his spouse,
When he gets home, this curious mouse.
What an adventure it has been,
He has drunk of some spilled over gin,
That had been left upon the table.
His wife will think it is a fable
He has concocted to amuse her.
She is home-bound, we must excuse her.
He once came home all out of breath
To say he had been scared to death
By a huge rat with fluffy tail.
She noticed he was very pale.
"While I was nibbling off some cheese
To bring to you, my love, to please.
He almost had me in his paws.
I'm sure he wasn't Santa Claus".
But this night is so very quiet.
He spies some fruitcake, has to try it.
It reminds him of that sip of gin
And wonders if his head will spin.
He hears a noise, runs for his life,
Carrying fruitcake for his wife.
Christmas morning, spread before their eyes
For the baby mice, a grand surprise.
Their mama had fixed a Christmas meal
From food their dad managed to steal.
A bit of butter, a glob of jam
And a fairly good-sized piece of ham.
Bread crumbs saved from other forays.
They had enough to eat for days.
Those little mice would never waste it.
If they didn't like it they'd still taste it.
This food their mamma set before them,
Their dad risked his life to get it for them.
When I received the greatest gift,
Was Christmas when I was ten;
That present gives my soul a lift,
When I think of it now and then;
I didn't see a box with my name,
When I searched under the tree;
I thought my parents were playing a game,
And had hidden it from me;
I waited oh so patiently,
For my gift on Christmas Day;
And when mom put a blindfold on me,
I didn't know quite what to say;
She marched me out the front door,
And held my hand so tight;
Just when I thought I could take no more,
I saw that glorious sight;
My dad was holding the reins,
To a horse with a big red bow;
He had ribbons tied in his mane,
With a coat that seemed to glow;
I burst out into happy tears,
As I reached out to touch his face;
It's a moment I've remembered for many years,
No other could take it's place;
My greatest gift was "Lucky",
My horse so tried and true;
And I hope you'll be as lucky,
To have a gift like that for you!
A Christmas Present
by Patrick Cornwall on Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 12:59am ·
Peeling back the memories and peeking inside
I feel wrought with pain seeing you alone on the bar stool
I look at the presents sitting untouched and waiting
It's been forty years but it's fresh as the morning dew
Are you sad and did anyone tell you they loved you
Did someone love you and hold you dear
Life has many twists and turns and the winds
They move us on even when we want to stay
Those feelings drive me home where they live and are nourished
The music plays on and the world spins until I look in the mirror
I wander if anyone loves me and thinks of me on my own bar stool
Do they know every time I laughed as a Christmas song played
I thought of where you were but I denied that I cared
I cared as I waited for you to come after each promise and the tears
I care now as I unwrap each memory on Christmas still
I care that maybe I don't try enough to be your opposite
Maybe I will end like you, alone and on a bar stool with the laughter that eludes
That when I'm but a distant peeling of remembrance
Who will unwrap my heart
Who will unwrap my love and open the box and see
And who will be the first to wear me with pride
For My Father who was an alcoholic
Two little candy canes were bought at a store.
Excitement abounded as they'd have a new home, to explore.
Snuggled in a sack with beautiful toys all around.
Theirs was be a happy life, you can be sure, they had found
They arrived at their new home, as in a blink.
And what did they see, oh my, everything.
All that they'd dreamt of, was before them, you know.
And foremost was the tree… that they would call home.
The tree was decorated with such aplomb and fanfare, well done.
The children laughed and giggled as they ran all around.
What a riotous but organized day of joy it had become.
With tinsel, and ornaments, and lights so profound.
The candy canes were finally put on that glorious tree,
As, yes, a few were eaten by you and by me.
The ceremony ended when an angel was placed by Papa on top.
And no one made a sound, then vibrantly applauded as he came down.
Finally they all had dinner in the room beyond, that night.
As all settled in to wait for that illustrious visit, so right.
Joy abounded all over this house as presents were, so nicely wrapped.
And cookies were made to hand all about.
The last of the candy canes would finally be eaten on Christmas Day…
As presents lay opened and children did play.
Now don't be sad for those two magical candy canes…
They stole a ride with Santa to the North Pole on that special day.
Merry Christmas to all at Poetry Soup!
In eternity past, the Father asks the Son to go down.
Having equal Love for humans the "Yes" comes fast.
When Creation leads to time, the world waits for 4 BC
Marking the start of the end of Satan's long rule at last.
Did Satan laugh at the poor setting for Jesus' birth here?
A cry in a cave for animals pierces the night, changing all.
Shepherds worship; later wise kings give precious gifts.
Mary and Joseph marvel, yet Herod's rage soon gives a call.
A call to leave quickly to Egypt where they'll live as refugees.
Sparing the Christ child a merciless death of those under three.
When Herod finally dies, Jesus' parents head back to Israel.
Still not fully safe from mad rule, Nazareth is their destiny.
Here the child will grow to be a man, following His parents rule.
Surprising the Pharisees with His wisdom at 12, at 30 riling them.
Preaching with authority, healing the incurable, loving the humble.
Women weep repenting at his feet; one's healed by touching his hem.
Zacchaeus risks going into a tree and finds Jesus' salvation so free.
Nicodemus comes at night to ask and ends amazed he's met God's Son
The Woman at the Well gets far more vital water than the usual kind.
And many healed can't but tell others of the miracle God has done.
The babe in the manger now stills the storm and his disciples believe
Even seeing the dead arise, like Lazarus in the tomb for four days.
Foretelling a greater rising coming but not before immense suffering.
The sword Mary was told would pierce her heart is soon on its way.
For most religious leaders cannot tolerate Jesus' lack of respect for them.
Calling them whitewashed tombs and pointing pride out to Pharisees.
Not endearing Himself with the establishment, but following God's way.
Knowing soon He'd be betrayed, arrested, tried and tortured brutally.
Still, he calmly feeds them body bread and blood wine in a final feast.
Tells them the Spirit comes, and prays they'd be one like Father and Son.
Heads to the Garden, prays to His Father for another way if possible.
Your will be done ends and the soldiers come and with Judas kiss it's done.
The most pure, innocent Man who's ever lived is now in hostile hands.
A trial by dark without witness or any rights – and off to Pontius Pilate.
Then Herod then back to Pilate whose wife dreamed Jesus was innocent.
But the people's cries to crucify win over – Jesus caught in intrigue's net.
The child of Bethlehem now hung on a Cross between two criminals.
The Light of the World by darkness and our sins is being slowly slain.
Feeling forsaken by God, but then "Into Your hands I commit my spirit."
Reunited and soon to show the world that this Child was no ordinary one.
Risen as Jesus predicted, for how can death conquer everlasting, perfect life?
From childhood to adult not one sin, not once yielding to Satan's temptations.
Proving we can have life eternal if we confess and believe in Jesus as our Savior.
Calling His followers in risen form to await the Spirit and share Christ to the nations

Alex Carrick is Chief Economist for Reed Construction Data. He specializes in economic forecasting and statistical services.
Canada's inflation rate in May rose to the highest level since March 2003, according to Statistics Canada. The year-over-year change in the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) was +3.7%. April's price advance had been +3.3%.
The latest inflation-rate figure was even higher than during the commodity-induced price binge in mid-2008 (+3.5%). Globe oil prices rose to their highest all-time level, US $144 per barrel, in July 2008.
During four months at the tail end of the recession – June through September, 2009 – Canada experienced deflation, with -0.9% being the steepest year-over-year decline in prices. Since then, the possibility of deflation has been discussed on occasion. But for now, such a notion seems nothing short of quaint.
The "core" inflation rate this May, which omits eight highly volatile items mainly in the food and energy areas, was still under wraps at only +1.8%. The problem is that people in the real world do have to eat, travel and regulate temperatures at home and in the office.
The Canadian inflation experience is quite similar to what is occurring south of the border. The U.S. headline price increase in May was +3.6% and the gain exclusive of food and energy was +1.5%.
In both countries, the most obvious "sore spot" is the price of gasoline, +29.5% year over year in Canada and an even more outrageous +36.9% in the U.S.
Regionally, Ontario has been stuck with the largest price increase at the pumps, +35.6% year over year. The residents of B.C. have caught the biggest break, +20.7%, although clearly that's only relative.
There should be some relief on the petrol front moving forward, since the world price of oil has backed off from US $110 per barrel to US $90. The most recent spike in oil prices came at the beginning of the peoples' uprising in Libya.
Statistics Canada points out that the gasoline price index in Canada now stands only a little below its all-time peak reached in July 2008.
The food price increase (+3.9%) in Canada in May was higher than for the overall gain in prices (+3.7%). In the U.S., food prices were +3.5% year over year in the latest month.
Prices for food purchased from stores in Canada was +4.2%. That's as opposed to restaurant meals (+3.2%) where the competition is fierce to attract customers.
Furthermore, it's often staples that are recording the large price increases. Consider that the price of bread in Canada has moved up 10.6% year over year. Some other large increases have come in eggs, +6.7%, and fresh milk, +4.3%.
Meat product prices, partly due to increases in the cost of feed, have also been on a steep upward climb. In May, fresh or frozen pork was 6.9% more expensive than a year ago; fresh or frozen beef was +6.7%. In processed meats, ham and bacon was +7.6%.
Besides being peak oil-price month, July 2008 was also when the global food-price crisis struck.
Similar conditions have returned. While China's overall inflation rate has been hovering near a worrisome +5.0%, its food price inflation rate in May was +11.7%. Small wonder the government in Beijing has been introducing measures to slow the economy and bring inflation under control.
Authorities versed in international agricultural supplies are not optimistic. The inventory of corn in the world, expressed as number-of-consumption-days, has dropped to its lowest level since 1974. The price of corn currently stands nearly double its level of a year ago.
Sidetracking of corn into ethanol production has been a factor in the shortage. Estimates of the proportion of U.S. corn production that are now going into making ethanol, mostly under government subsidy programs, range from a low of 40% to a high of 50%.
World inventories of wheat are also low. Severe weather in the form of both drought (China) and flooding (Australia, Brazil and North America) are the cause. This has implications throughout the food chain, both for humans and livestock.
Some final words are warranted on the different inflation rates across the country. The highest year-over-year price gains in May were recorded in the Atlantic Region, with Nova Scotia at +4.6% and New Brunswick, +4.1%.
Ontario, with a +4.0% inflation rate, was in third place. The aforementioned large hike in gasoline prices was a big factor in the province. But Ontario also experience a higher-than-national-average increase in food prices, at +5.4%. As a resident of this province, I can attest to how our family's weekly grocery bill has sky-rocketed.
The slowest rate of price advance among the provinces occurred in Alberta, +2.8%.

Heterogeneous catalysis accounts for the largest portion of the portfolio, and for the past eight years (FY 1999 to FY 2007), the program has made substantial progress in its support of the experimental and theoretical fundamental understanding of multiphasic (heterogeneous) catalytic systems, surfaces, and nanoscale structures. Contributions of the portfolio to national energy goals are also discussed where appropriate.
Traditional Heterogeneous Catalysis grants are awarded to individual investigators. These grants have been indispensable in establishing a long-term funding basis for several leading U.S. researchers in the field. The portfolio is highly important to research on energy efficiency and on alternative energy solutions. Pioneering work has been conducted in the areas of short-residence-time reactors; basic and acidic properties of catalysts using various probes and spectroscopic techniques; and aqueous-phase reforming of biomass for energy purposes.
Surface Science grants focus on achieving a better understanding of heterogeneous catalytic surfaces. Since its inception, the Catalysis Science Program has supported U.S. leaders in surface science and is now seeing a second generation of principal investigators, many of whom were graduate and postdoctoral students of the science's pioneers. During the past decade, the principal investigators in the surface science subarea have made numerous contributions to the mechanistic and structural understanding of catalytic reactions, which continue to advance catalysis of energy processes. Examples of this work include hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, reforming, selective oxidation, heteroatom removal, surface photochemistry and catalysis, structure and dynamics of catalyst surfaces, and bimetallic and alloy systems. The work is the foundation of the grand challenge to "Understand Mechanisms and Dynamics of Catalyzed Transformations," which is articulated in the recent report Basic Research Needs in Catalysis for Energy workshop.
Research and researchers funded by surface science grants also have contributed substantially to the growth of nanoscience and theory. Historically, much of heterogeneous catalysis and the research supporting it have been at the nanoscale. However, the increased and broader focus on nanoscience at the national level has changed the emphasis in surface science. During the most recent three-year period, approximately one-half of the projects focused primarily on surface reaction mechanisms, and the other half focused more on surface structure.
Nanoscience grants focus on emergent properties at the nanoscale. Funding for these grants began in 2001 as a result of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). Most of the NNI-funded work concentrates on the synthesis of novel

On the heels of its latest creation the Abt TT Roadster, Abt Sportsline has released the first renderings of its forthcoming AS5 coupe. Based on the hot new Audi A5 powered by the European-market 3.0 TDI engine, the AS5 gets all the thing's you'd expect from a tuner like this: updated bodywork, a new wheel/tire package, a choice of engine upgrades, a new exhaust system, and more.
The AS5's new aero kit is typical of the work Abt has done before, with tastefully inplemented skirts and spoilers, along with a rear diffuser and fender-mounted side extractors. Quad exhaust outlets lend musclular looks and sound to the after portion of the car, and the TDI will be upgradeable to power levels of 272 or 300 horsepower. Sport suspension and brake upgrades will also be made available, and owners can top everything off with a two-tone paint scheme if so desired. We're very curious to see how that looks in the metal.

Dynamical Coupe in perfection
The new Audi A5 combines a sporty and an unobtrusive design to a powerful, elegant and individual appearance. "A uniquely beautiful car and thus a real challenge for us," says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The managing director of Abt Sportsline raved about the new Coupe from Ingolstadt, but he emphasizes that "our designers and engineers were able to improve the outstanding base model even more". The character of the noble sportscar still maintains but after getting a special treatment in the Allgaeu it appears more dynamical. The body kit, especially tailor-made for the Abt AS5, is a spectacular package: a front skirt with a grid element which emphasizes the singel-frame grill and the fog lights, the slightly curved, laterally mounted body parts and the sleek gill-shaped air-inlets, as well as the well-proportioned rear. With the unobtrusive but striking rear spoiler and the rear skirt inset in diffuser optics, the design of the Abt AS5 is gracefully rounded off. The 4-pipe rear muffler is perfectly fitting and additionally recontoures the rear view. Needless to say that the car sounds as a real Abt car should.
Even when standing still, the Abt AS5 is a sensual car, which eagerly wants to be driven. And when it is allowed to go on the road, it shows how much sports spirit it has. First of all, the 3.0 TDI engine gets a significant "power treatment". The extremely powerful, self-igniting engine perfectly fits to the A5 and, in addition, offers moderate consumption values. By means of improved motor management, Abt turns the serial 240 hp (176 kW) into powerful 272 hp (200 kW). With an extra Abt turbo charger, the power even increases to 300 well feeded horses. Diesel and sportiness belong together since long. Certainly, Abt Sportsline will successively modify later developed A5 engines.
To ensure a perfect handling of the noble power package, Abt also makes use of its adjustable sports suspension, besides the serial Quattro engine. All the more, the Abt AS5 will be brought to a standstill by means of the Abt brake system with a disc diameter of 380 millimeters.
To perfectly round off the successful optics package, Abt Sportsline recommends the AR wheel, which is available for the A5 in the sizes from 18 to 20 inch, of course together with appropriate sport tyres. Wheels, body components and technical modifications build a whole unit: a wonderful Coupe at its best. Not more and not less.

Empress Theater
104 W. 116th Street,
New York,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 4 comments
The theatres of Washington Heights.
That's what I was thinking as well, Lost. Can't be certain, of course, but it's a reasonable assumption.
Here's a view from local.live of the block front were the Empress was situated. The address corresponds to the storefronts immediately adjacent to the Temple of Islam building on the corner of Lenox Avenue – which is the big yellow and buff 3-story structure with the large green bulb on top.
The Empress would have been in the low lying building on the Temple's right – with 1 green storefront and 1 yellow and white upper facade. If, in fact, this is the same structure.
I don't think it really was a theatre, which is why I never bothered to list it. I suspect that the Empress was just a commercial building that was briefly converted into a place for showing movies until better facilities opened in the area.

State tax collections are hot, hot, hot. The taxman rustled up 16 percent more in state income taxes for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Where is this phenomenal growth coming from?
Based on the most recent data collected by the Rockefeller Institute, states are raking in about $900 billion a year from their three major tax categories: the sales tax, personal income tax and corporate income taxes. Revenues from these three taxes total about 6.25% of U.S. GDP.
But it's the personal income tax (PIT) that's really driving the show. In the state of New York the PIT makes up about 60 percent of total tax revenues. In Oregon the PIT is an astonishing 72 percent of the state's tax haul. Although the national employment level improved slowly the PIT was up on average 11.4 percent across the country year over year, according to Rockefeller. This contrasts sharply with the 4.6 percent national increase in state sales tax collections, especially given that 21 states cut their PIT tax rate while only 12 states cut their sales tax rates.
Robert Ward of the Rockefeller Institute tried to explain this counterintuitive phenomenon in a presentation earlier this month. He pointed out that some states have significant PIT revenues from capital gains. Unlike the federal tax code, twenty-one states treat capital gains as regular income. All the states in the chart above treat income earned from labor in the same way as income earned from capital. And in some states the amounts can be significant: In 2007, 13 percent of New York taxpayers' annual gross income and 8 percent of New Jersey's came from capital gains. That is a lot of bond and derivative trading on Wall Street.
Ward also pointed out that states are increasingly relying on personal income taxes. In 1978 PIT was about 25 percent of state tax revenues nationally versus 35 percent in 2008.

This shouldn't have this many notes :-(

If I am already a male do I still count? Growing up as a depressed and anxiety-ridden teen, my brother and some of our "friends" and others used my weight as an immediate tactic to get me to be ashamed of myself or to make sure I'd shut up. Don't get me wrong - both genders can do it, and yes I know it can hit women the hardest since men tend to emphasize more on first-sight attractions and the media never helps. However, I know what it's like to be judged and disregarded due to an observation of looks that someone doesn't find "proper" and won't keep it to themselves, especially weight.

BBEdit document state
It is still a 'concern', because if you're not on an HFS volume, the type and creator code are also stored in the .DS_Store--it's not just the resource fork in there, but also meta data.
BBEdit document state
I have turned off 'save document state' in BBEdit 8.2.4 and I still get the dot underscore files when saving to our Win2000 Server. Can anyone verify that this advice actually works for them?
