Like Dholavira in Gujarat, the Harappan site of Banawali in Harayana tells us the interesting story of how a small village turned into a town and then declined. No river flows past Banawali today, but there is dry bed of a river known by several names - Rangoi, Sottar, Nali, and Nadi. At one time it must have been a good source of water for the people who lived here. We do not know just how big the settlement at Banawali was in the beginning (archaeologists call this first stage Period I). This is because only a small part of it was excavated. The houses were laid out neatly in either north-south or east-west arrangement. They usually made of sun-dried mud bricks, but some of them were made of bricks baked in kilns. Inside the houses archaeologists found mud ovens (chulas) where people did their cooking. There were other deeper pits with plastered walls, which may have been used to store food grains. Pots with different designs on them were made and used. One pot had a design that looked like a horned animal. Another had what looked like a cart with a canopy over it. The other things that were found were a stone weight, and an arrow-head and fish-hook made of copper. There were also beads made of clay, bone, a stone called steatite and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli and carnelian. Bangles were made of shell, clay, and faience (this was usually made out of crushed quartz stone mixed with a little lime). At some point of time, in about 2300 B.C. or so, the settlement at Banawali became a town with a new lay-out. The town had two parts-a citadel area and a lower town. In some other cities of the Harappan civilization the citadel and the lower town are separate from each other. But at Banawali both these sections are located in the same area, although there was wall that separated the two. The citadel was built at a higher, more prominent level than the rest of the city. This showed off its importance. The wall of the citadel had bastions-towers from which guards could keep a watch on who was coming and going. There was ramp made of bricks leading from the lower town in to the citadel. The whole city was surrounded by strong walls, and the walls were surrounded by a moat for added protection.
What is the difference between a village and town or city?
Size and population for one thing. Villages tend to be smaller than towns and cities and fewer people live there. The architecture and planning of towns and cities tend to be on a larger scale than that of villages. Cities often contain large, sometimes very grand buildings. Most people lived in village are involved in farming. But cities have many people who are involved in other sorts of activities as well. There may be some farmers, but there are also rulers, crafts persons, traders, priests and others.
It is visitor came into Banawali though the eastern gateway, she would find herself in a wide open space from where three streets branched off in different directions into the city. Inside the city there were some big houses where rich people must have lived. These houses had a central courtyard, with several rooms built all around. The floors of the rooms were sometimes paved with bricks. The bricks were bigger that those used in the earlier period. Bricks backed in kilns were usually reserved for places where some kinds of water-proofing was useful-for wells, pavements of bathrooms and drains. Otherwise, sun-dried bricks were used. One of the houses had many rooms, including a kitchen and a bathroom. Inside the bathroom there was a large pottery jar that seemed to function as a wash basin. There was a drain nearby, which led the used water into a large refuse jar outside the street. Lots of seals and weights were found in this house, so we can guess that it must have belonged to a rich merchant. Another house seems to have belonged to a jeweler. Many beautiful beads made of materials like gold, lapis lazuli and carnelian were found in it. Some tiny weights were also discovered. Particularly interesting was the discovery of a 'touchstone.' Jewellers rub gold against such a stone to test whether it is pure or not. The stone found in this house had streaks of gold on it, which gave the clue that this is what it was used for. Many of the things found at Banawali were similar to those found at other sites of the Harappan civilization. These include seals with the Harappan scripts. Interestingly, the seals were only found in the lower town and not in the citadel. We know that some of the seals must have been used by traders. Does this mean that only the people who lived in the lower town were involved in trade? We are not sure. Blades made of stone have also been found. Terracotta figurines, many of them what seems to have been a goddess, have also been found. Terracotta is a hard-baked reddish-brown clay. Small pieces made out of stone, ivory and bone that seem to have been used to play games with (archaeologists call them 'gamesmen') were also found. One of the most important things found at Banawali was a clay model of a plough. This shows that the people of Banawali were similar with the use of this implement. The actual ploughs used by them must have been made of wood, and have not survived. We are not sure what led to the end of town-life in Banawali. But we do know that the site was deserted for some time. And then, after some time, people moved into the area and settled down to the east of the old city. But their way of life was rather different from the life of the city-dwellers who had lived here before. The town planning, the fortification, the seals, writing... all these things had disappeared. The new houses were made of mud, not bricks. Fewer artifacts have been found from this phase. But some craftsmen were still active. New kinds of pottery with different sorts of designs were being made. Some of the craftsmen of Banawali seem to have specialized in the making of ornaments made of faience. Lots of beads, rings, earrings, bangles, and anklets of this period have been found. Other sites of the Harappan civilization found in Harayana include Balu, Siswal, Mitathal, Bhagwanpura, and Rakhigrahi. Remains of the Harappan civilization have also been found in the western part of Uttar Pradesh. All these sites show us how far eastwards the Harappan civilization had spread. Archaeologists are still working out the story of how and why the Harappan civilization declined. How and why did flourishing cites and towns fade away and make way for village life? What happened to the brisk trade that the Harappan carried on with various parts of the country and with foreign lands? And what happened to their system of writing? The evidence from excavations at more and more Harappan sites might give us a clearer idea about the answers to these puzzles.

"Not at all what I expected after reading nearly all 5 star reviews. I agree with the chef who said this had a hard top to it, not soft or cake like, and that it is too dry. Really wanted to love it but didn't. The flavor was good on a positive note but the texture is not correct for pound cake and the dryness, too noticeable. I followed the r..."
"Excellent recipe! I did make a few changes, I hate using shortening so used all butter and skipped on the shortening. (Just softened not melted) and used some cornstarch too and skipped on the almond extract. Just went with 2 tsp. vanilla. Turned out fabulous! The perfect cookie :) Thanks for this go-to recipe!"
"Absolutely love this recipe! Thank you for sharing it. I wish I had come across it in time for Thanksgiving. :) I ended up making it for New Years and it was a hit! Totally going to be my new go-to recipe for stuffing. The only thing I did different was add a bit more bread crumbs and used 3 tsp. dry sage. :)"
"Absolutely delicious! I made this with just ground beef and it was fantastic. My hubby and kids ate it all up! Thanks for your great recipe. Will definitely be making this often."
"My new go to recipe for these! Thank you for this fabulous recipe. :)"
"Great frosting recipe! Thank you so much. :) I always know if it has your name on it its going to be fabulous. For those who said they didn't have a sifter for the powdered sugar or cocoa, just put them in a bowl and use a wire wisk on them. You don't need a sifter to do that.

CORPUS CHRISTI - It's supposed to be the next big thing. Cyber Monday is the pot of gold at the end of the retail rainbow that peaks each year on Black Friday.
And the numbers bear it out: the National Retail Federation estimates more than 130 million American shoppers will surf and shop on Cyber Monday.
But despite the promise of more sales, some small coastal bend businesses are skipping out.
They say that online shopping sites are both risky and expensive and leave out the one thing many customers still value: speaking with a real, live human being.
It's part of the holiday shopping experience that some say is going by the wayside.
"We like to think that we have that personal interaction with you so if there is something wrong with the merchandise we sell you you can bring it back," said Dennis Moynihan at Bay Area Bicycles. "We'll fix it, we'll warranty it - we'll do what we gotta do to make you happy."
The Four Chicks Boutique in Lamar Park has a website but they don't sell anything from it.
Their site is meant to do one thing: get people into the store for the personal touch people don't get buying online.
"I don't know everything about evrything in this store but I definitely try my hardest to make sure my customer knows more than I do," said Morgan Vassaur, a sales associate at Four Chicks.
She said online shopping makes sense for larger retailers that can maintain complex, online web sites and stock the inventory needed to support them.
But at Four Chicks, only one or two of each item are on hand, leaving very little wiggle room.
Moynihan said the bicycle store caters to walk in customers who value knowledgeable sales people and personal service.
"And, in our own opinion, that builds a community business and that's why we're here. We want to help the community."

|One of the primary themes of this course has been to explore the various ways the world is transcribed into historical narrative. These oral histories were an exercise in one of the primary forms of information gathering, processing, and writing. The students were on their own in figuring out the "rules" for writing history; the assignment sheet was more provocative than prescriptive. As such, each oral history looks a little different for a multiplicity of reasons---put another way, the subjectivities mediating these histories of WWII are made palpable.

Marked by firm determination; resolved. The first, third, fourth, and fifth Resolutes, retained the name from previous mercantile service. The second Resolute was so named upon entering U.S. Navy service.
(SP - 1309: tonnage 453; length 135' (between perpendiculars); beam 30'; draft 14'6"; speed 12 knots; complement 55)
The third Resolute, a wooden salvage tug, was built during 1916 at Great Lakes Engineering Co., Ashtabula, Ohio, as SS Sarah E. McWilliams; purchased 8 August 1918 for the U.S. Navy from her owner, Merritt & Chapman Co. of New York; and commissioned 10 September 1918, Lt. (jg.) William E. Marcyes, USNRF, in command.
Resolute was based at Central District Salvage Station, Stapleton, Staten Island, N.Y., throughout her Navy career. She performed local towing duty, took part in several salvage operations, and assisted in patrolling the local anchorages into 1919. Decommissioned 15 May 1919, Resolute was sold to her former owner the same day.
During early 1942 Resolute again served the Navy, operating for several months under a charter to perform salvage work on the east coast. Resolute remained in mercantile service until scrapped in 1955.

Cory Doctorow's One City One Book 2013 selection Little Brother may already be five years old, but its "day after tomorrow" setting seems closer than ever to reality. From the Occupy protests to newly revealed government surveillance programs, the real-world San Francisco is starting to look more and more like Doctorow's version. But how close is it, really?
In this panel, held during Banned Books Week, tech policy experts, computer programmers, and crypto activists, including staff from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, will discuss some of the key elements and technologies described in the novel. Could the events Doctorow describes happen here? Have we already seen some of them happen?
One City One Book is San Francisco's citywide book club.
In 2014, we're reading Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin.

What does the Oracle wish for? Disorder? If she supports humans then she should help destroy the Matrix. If she does not, then she should mislead Neo and make the machines win. In the end of The Matrix Revolutions, she seems pretty content. Why? Because the war was over? Is that all she wanted from the start?
This is not the first matrix, its third one and Oracle helped Architect to build this one. From the failure of previous two matrix, Oracle and Architect given the humans 'free will'. So Oracle always in support of free will for Humans. Her action sometimes cause imbalance in matrix but Architect is always there to control the effects. Like other agents and programs Oracle and Architect are not bound to matrix, they existed before it and will going to live after it. So this gives Oracle free will of her own, which reflects in her actions.
Some fan conclusions also say that the Black actor and white actor playing the Oracle character are like Yin and yang. But its Architect and Oracle who act like Yin and yang. Oracle is even wearing yin-yang earrings throughout the third film to indicate this.

Phl senator: Abad should come out and explain DAP
"I think Secretary Abad should not hide. He should explain what really happened to DAP and answer allegations hurled against him. But it's the other way around. The President (Benigno Aquino III) is the one shielding him from the controversy," Ejercito told reporters.
He said being a lawyer, being a Department of Budget and Management head before and at present and a former a congressman, Abad should be expected to be an expert on this and he should have guided the President regarding the DAP.
Meanwhile, a government official has assured that there will be no cover-up in its ongoing inquiry into projects funded by DAP.
"That's our commitment. The list (of DAP-funded projects) is there. The numbers are there. What we want to do is to make sure, to inform the public about the status of the projects," said Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda in a press briefing Thursday.
The government is preparing for the accounting of DAP-funded projects.
"What we are doing and if you ask each and every Cabinet secretary, they will be able to provide you some information on the projects that are under them. We will be releasing the list of projects at the appropriate time," he said.
Lacierda stressed that the Ombudsman will be doing the prosecution.
"I already mentioned yesterday that they will comply with their constitutional mandate in investigating, in doing the process of investigating each and every allegation," he said.
The government is now framing its legal position after a recent Supreme Court ruling declaring as unconstitutional some provisions of the DAP.
Under the rules of the court, it is given 15 days from the receipt of the decision within which to file a motion for reconsideration. The Office of the Solicitor General received the decision on July 4.

15 Celebrities Go Planking
Planking is sweeping the nation and even some familiar faces are getting in on the action. The strange phenomenon involves lying face down in a public place and posting photos on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. For the perfect plank, make sure your body is straight, hands are by your sides, and toes are pointing to the ground.
Some of our favorite celebrity plankers include Joe Budden, who planked several times including once in the arm of a tractor; LeToya Luckett, who planked on a rock; Lloyd, who attempted to plank while getting a tattoo; and Usher's two sons planking on a piano. But "Look at Me Now" producer Diplo may have the best plank yet while riding an elephant in Cambodia.
Check out more planking from Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Diggy Simmons, Game, Big Boi, Miguel, Big Sean, Bun B, Nick Cannon, and others.

Keith Gray started Fat Feet after competing in various events over the years, including running, triathlons and multi activity events as well as competing abroad in non-stop Desert Ultra marathons.
I was totally inspired by the race locations while racing abroad and wanted to try and develop events in great locations myself. Living and training in Lincolnshire and Rutland made these obvious starting points. I hope competitors find these often overlooked locations as beautiful and uplifting as I do.
Whilst participating in desert ultra marathon events I, along with many others, suffered from "Fat Feet" after hours and hours of running. In the body's attempt to protect the painful injured feet, fluid gathers causing them to swell resulting with the inevitable "Fat Feet".
"In my first 100+ miler event my feet were so swollen that my shoes had become tight enough to restrict the blood flow to my feet. After struggling to get my chubby feet out of my shoes I used a knife to cut down the heel of them to release the pressure that was obviously causing my such pain. Since then I have learnt from this and use shoes that are slightly bigger than my normal shoe size to allow for the swelling.

Aleutian Morning: Otter Point
William F. Draper #20
Oil on board; 1942
A cold Aleutian dawn breaks over Otter Point and the weird form of "ship's rock" thrusting up from Umnak Point like a petrified Flying Dutchman. Until 1942, Otter Point was a barren and uninhabited island, but then it became a major airbase, marked by communication lines and jeep tracks, dug-in Quonset huts and other signs of war.
Arctic Vigil; A 37MM Emplacement
William F. Draper #18
Oil on board; 1942
Looking out towards the sea, a lone guard stands guard by a 37mm emplacement built up with sandbags. The gun crews snatch a few minutes relaxation in nearby tents whose outlines repeat in miniature the form of cloud-swept Mt. Tilik.
Sentinels of the North
William F. Draper #25
Oil on board; 1942
Before the arctic backdrop of Mt. Tulik, a plane revetment harbors a Flying Fortress while a Navy PBY and a formation of fighters patrol the skies. The tents in the foreground, looking like miniature mountain peaks, are dug in to withstand the sweeping blasts of wind. The enlisted man in the foreground wears the cold weather gear of the Army, Jokingly called a "Northern Zoot Suit."
Tired Tigers - Umnak - Alaska (Army Fighters on the field)

A good illustration of the primitive conditions on the fighter strip.
Williwaw - Umnak (A PBY is readied
for patrol)
William F. Draper #26
Oil on board; 1942
The dependable but cumbersome PBY is readied for flight patrol in spite of the capricious and treacherous williwaws. The sudden and powerful winds posed a great danger to flight operations.
Beach Barges

Oil on board; 1942
Barges landing on the black volcanic shore of Umnak.
Ships and Shapes
William F. Draper #23
Oil on board; 1942
The long northern winter affords the opportunity for an informal class in ships identification. In the cramped quarters of a Yakutat hut, by the light of a coleman lamp, Ltjg. R. Delafield, Air Combat Intelligence Officer, instructs the officers around the table. From left to right are F.R. Robinson, warrant carpenter, Ltjg. J.W. Sahlman, Ensign J.J. Romero, and Ltjg. Royal A. Lett.
Pilots At Play - Umnak, Alaska
William F. Draper #19
Oil on board; 1942
In a crowded Yukatat hut, Ltjg. Dillon to the left, Lt. Brooks above, and Ltjg. Sullivan relax after an arduous day's flight. A typical accumulation of gear covers the table: a canteen, a shell, a gas mask and helmet, a hand carved nude, and parts of a model airplane under construction.

Dumunpalit Island – Philippines, Asia
Dumunpalit Island
Philippines, Asia
This 75-acre red-marble and volcanic-rock island, surrounded by coral reefs, is in the Mindoro Strait connecting the South China Sea to the Sulu Sea, about a 40-minute flight southeast of Manila. Dumunpalit is a last frontier of the Philippines, a timeless land of awe, wonder, sea and stars.
In the Cuyonin language, Dumunpalit means "the place which never changes," but the island is also known as Turtle Island because the 150-plus-foot-high volcanic towers that rise on both its ends resemble fins flipping through the turquoise waters.

The Supreme Court Tuesday questioned the Centre if its FDI in multi-brand retail policy was only a �political gimmick� or had fructified into some investments as well.
�It is six to seven weeks that Parliament passed the policy. Have you brought some investment or was it a mere political gimmick?� asked a bench led by Justice R M Lodha, even as Attorney General G E Vahanvati defended the FDI Bill that the UPA government managed to get cleared in Parliament against stiff opposition by the BJP.
Vahanvati submitted that the policy was part of a series of reforms and that its results would be seen in due course.
�Reforms can go on but that should not close the door for small traders,� replied the court. The bench also remained unimpressed with the attorney general�s reply that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) could address issues like pricing etc. �How many people or small traders would go to the CCI?� the bench said.
Indicating that it was open to vetting the new policy, which allows up to 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail, the bench said it had to be ensured that there were adequate safeguards to protect the interests of small traders who would be compeing with multinational companies. �There is an apprehension. How are you going to take care of the interests of small traders? It is going to affect the fundamental rights to carry out trade? What are the checks that you are going to put to remove the obstruction as far as their trade is concerned? Some regulatory measures have to be there to ensure that they (small traders) are not affected,� it said.
Vahanvati tried to reason that this was not the issue under consideration of the court and further that it was a policy decision, taken after necessary amendments in the RBI rules and a voting in Parliament.
�We are not policy makers but it is also not correct that policy has to be sacrosanct every time. It can be examined within the Constitutional parameters. We don�t substitute government policy but some regulatory norms have to be there. The apprehension is that these (big) companies can artificially reduce the price which the small traders cannot afford to do,� the court said. �These apprehensions have to be cleared.�
The court asked the Attorney General to file an affidavit within three weeks addressing issues relating to farmers� interests. While posting

The Aries and the Libra bring together an extraordinary combination of Fire and Air. The attraction they feel for each other can be very powerful, mainly because each seems to offer what the other lacks. Both the Aries and the Libra are very friendly and warm in nature making each other feel comfortable in their company.
A Libra man is the most irresistibly charming gentleman of all the zodiac signs. His smile has a splendid magic that can trap anyone at first glance and his aura is splendid and very pleasant. He is basically a sentimental, considerate and intelligent man with an answer to all the questions of this world. He needs balance in every aspect of his life and is always fair with people around him. He in love is one of a kind romantic male with so much to express that his Aries woman just melts away in his charming art of loving. He is very kind and friendly towards her and usually avoids any kind of conflict between them.
An Aries woman is quick-tempered and emotional. But at the same time she is a very courageous and has a leader's will to take any risk. Due to the impulsive nature and jealous nature of an Aries woman, she often feels remorseful while facing the consequences of her own behavior. Usually she can charm any Libra man by her passion and innocence which makes him feel excited and admired. She becomes a strong devotee of her Libra man's charm and his efficiency to keep things balanced in life. The Libra male always respects the confidence and independence of his Aries woman and appreciates all her efforts.
The Aries woman becomes a very stimulating partner for Libra man giving him mental challenges he needs to keep himself tuned. As both are kind and friendly, it helps them to build a strong foundation for their relationship. She always tries to balance things for him and go out of proportions to support her man in every field of life. But she dislikes being the caretaker for any man and rather wants to be a companion. The thought of controversy fascinates her but he does everything to maintain harmony in life. She needs to learn to control her emotions and use fair logic to keep him with her.
The Libra man provides balance in his as well as his Aries woman's life. He makes a firm grip on his lady with all his senses, optimism and appealing charisma. Tact and courtesy comes naturally to him, which makes her feel more warm and feminine with him. He shows her that she is irresistible and makes her feel desirable. But the blunt frankness of the Libra man can ignite the Aries woman to expose her irrational jealous nature. She must understand that when in an argument with his lady love, the only goal of the Libra man is to gain peace and justice. For him it's not about winning or losing but about balance. As he is very well spoken and presents a very convincing argument, he can usually calm down his Aries woman. But frequent similar situations can become a source of irritation for both of them.
The Libra man's unconquerable optimism along with the bright faith of the Aries woman, strikes a perfect chord. He has the potency and compassion she needs, while he adores her innocuous nature. As they deeply discover the miracles of bonding, she starts giving him the peace he needs, this also helps her to soothe out disappointments and fears of rejection. Both of them fill each other's life with the friendly understanding and warmth that keeps them at peace forever. With each coming day the magic of the Libra male creates a new magic for her and her irresistible passion brings more pleasure and delight to their life.
At first their love making abilities seem like they came straight from a popular movie scene. Passion and lust fill the air as these two have a ball in the bedroom, but this does not last forever for these two. The Libras approach to sex is imaginative, light, and less intense. The Aries woman finds herself looking for anything solid to grab onto. The fragile love and aesthetic sexual response of him can leave her somewhat chilly. She needs plenty of warm affection and fiery lovemaking to feel completely fulfilled in a physical relationship. With this man she may be left feeling a little empty. He needs to comprehend that teasing her now and then, and his little exhibitionist displays, could be distracting to his Aries princess. He should better apply his creative skills to discover some abilities or strengths in her that nobody had previously realized were within her. In return, she would let him have the smooth feel of her skin and feel her in her most intimate, most feminine of ways. She must understand that it would be far more appealing, more sensual and more erotic for his Libra male if she does not hides her sex appeal but wisely use it to tease and attract him.
Competition is high between the Aries woman and the Libra man. Unless one of them accepts defeat graciously at least part of the time, there is usually no space for peace. He struggles with her scruffy behavior at times, but struggles to leave due to the amount of love she shows him. Similarly, she does not intend to be rude, and regrets hurting him. Aries are great at starting something and not finishing it, while Libra always tries to balance out everything they start in a perfect manner. In order for a relationship to workout between them, they must stay on the same team, avoiding opposing each other. This requires him to worry less about the imbalance and spend more time on "things that actually matter" and for her to have realistic expectations and laugh off the irritations and his erratic behavior.Also See:

I totally agree with the posts here. There is something about the Libra man to us Aires ladies. I am 54 and met a young guy on the internet, 31. Just for a little fun. Well, he blew me away the first time we met. I couldn't get enough. Saw me the next day and then the next week. I started thinking, how can I make this work? Silly lies we tell ourselves to make it OK in our minds. Then, that was it. I got jealous and accused him of meeting other women, (probably is/was), probably someone his own age, who could blame him? Completely unrealistic to think there could have ever been anything serious between us, but it sure was good when we were together. He still communicates with me after a month of not seeing him, but I have no expectations I'll ever see him again. It's the lack of showing emotions that I cannot understand. I was with another Libra the first of the year, same type of guy. No emotion, no expression whatsoever of how they feel about you. In the mean time, I'm spilling my guts in emails and they came back with: "Well, have a good trip." (I travel for my job.) lol Oh, well, I guess at my age I'll never learn. Have fun while you can ladies.
i started dating a libra man a little over 4 weeks ago. i haven't dated a libra EVER…and this is the most fantastic relationship i have had in a very long time (i haven't had this strong of a connection since my ex-husband). i really didn't think i could have those strong feelings again. i met him online…on a dating site. i almost didn't go out with him because he was a total charmer and i thought for sure he was not going to be serious about a relationship. he is more committed and serious about me and about us than any other man i have ever dated. we were committed within 3 dates and he is in the process of moving in…and should be in by the end of the month. he's even talked marriage and for the first time i am not scared of any of this. it all seems so right…he seems so right. we seem so right and the romance and sex is off the charts!
i love reading about astrological signs and compatability. he doesn't believe in any of it, but this description of an aries/libra relationship fits us to a T. he can't deny it. i look forward to many more years of happiness with this guy.
hmmmm indeed, and I am a 24, libra man dating a 33 year old aries woman, and i do agree with the post. I met my aries girl friend, and I must say got fucking damn i am happy, i must say i have not been this happy in a long time, and yet so fast too. My exwife never made me fell this way in the years we been together, my aries woman makes me feel really fuckin special, and shit. she won my heart in only a few days of us talking, and with her i can be 100 percent myself, i can cus i and say what ever out my bad mouth and she just laughts and shit. she won my trust twice has fast than my ex wife, with her i feel so warm and special. I feel like a little kid when i am around her, and i must say my sexy spicy aries woman cares good fucking care of my ass. she is a strong hard working woman, that makes my ass want to be stronger, and better and shit. i love her beautiful ass so dam much, i love her ass so much i am writing a post on this website site she showed me aint that some shit.

After thinking about doing this for awhile (why the delay???) we found our way up to a little pie shop in a continguous city (Dewitt); it took all of ten minutes to get there. This little shop is called "Sweetie-licious Pie Pantry" and it is the cutest thing on earth, very retro and charming.
I read about the owner a couple of years ago in FAITH magazine. Sad thing is I don't quite remember the story, except that her faith helped her work her way out of a sad situation, and into this life she loves. After they did the article, I was prompted again to visit the shop, when I read that she had won the first place three years' running in the Crisco National Pie Championships! And she recently won First Place in the Food Network Pie Challenge.
Frankly, I believe I make a good pie, and I learned from my mom who makes a good pie - so we went up there expecting a good pie, but reserving wild-eyed praise. (My mother still left saying something along the lines of, "But they (the judges) have never tasted your Buttermilk Pie!") Yet, we were wowed. I had the prize-winner pie - the Very Cheery Cherry Cherry Berry Pie. The two "cherries" in the title refer to fresh cherries and dried cherries, and I have to say those dried cherries in there were magnificent. Also - the crust was spectacular, if I do say so myself.
TOTAL WEIRD ASIDE: His cupcakes were more adorable than the ten that I made to take to Zhen's class for his birthday yesterday, which the dog ate while I went out to pick the kids up from skating. But mine were cute, too and - yes; the dog ate TEN of those cupcakes...and it took me a while to believe it because she made NO MESS whatsoever. No smear of frosting, no crumbs (I couldn't eat one without crumbs)! Of course, the difference between the dog and me is that she ate hers with paper on! And half of them had foil cupcake holders (or whatever you call them)..
Anyway, no bakery compliments for me - I had to go to the store and buy Russian candy to take to his class for a birthday treat because I didn't have time to make more cupcakes. And the dog never got sick! That might be the strangest thing of all!!!

Well, the dog never got sick..... YET.
Just wait until you see shiny reflective bits of foil all over the yard encased in poop. Fun times ahead!

Ha! Essie - actually, the dog DID get sick - Sergei said she threw up all over his bed. Yahoo. Can't wait to do that laundry.

What an adorable shop and the owner is sure a cutie.
Buttermilk pie....mmmmm! Please email or post the recipe. I never heard or it. I'd love it I'm sure.
I just love pie so am sure I'd love the shop.
Sounds like you and your mom had lots of fun.
That's too funny about your dog. 10 cupcakes! I bet cleaning up the bedspread was not a fun job.
Cleaning up the yard won't be a fun chore either.

Is that picture the actual bakery you went to? It looks really cute and cozy.
I would love to taste your buttermilk pie!!

I am so jealous you have a great place for pie---and so cute, too. I'm a lover of all things pie--my grandma made a mean custard pie, and I've never tasted one to beat it yet. Like everyone else, I'd love it if you would be willing to share your buttermilk pie recipe (but I understand about those personal secret recipe things!)

Sounds delish - now I am craving! We love pie around here, especially around the holidays. We can never decide what kind so we always go crazy and make LOTS! I do hate making crust though, and usually try to get my step-dad to do that part for me.
Happy birthday to Zhen!

We have to keep a close eye on our dog Maggie, because she will eat and eat and eat. And then all that she ate ends up in a disgusting heap on the floor. She has been known to steal entire cooked chickens from the counter top and consume them bones and all.

Osborn Neighborhood Alliance celebrates five years
By Puakea Olaisha Anderson
Special to the Michigan Citizen
DETROIT — Osborn Neighborhood Alliance celebrated its five-year anniversary and auction to sustain future issues of the Osborn neighborhood premier newsletter Osborn Voice. The event took place at the D:hive Loft on Woodward Nov. 9. The Osborn Voice highlights people, activities, businesses and resources in every issue. Published quarterly, The Osborn Voice reaches on average over 5,000 residents in the Osborn Community, while the anniversary issue reached approximately 8,000. The event was for special invited guests of the Osborn Voice. Those in attendance included stakeholders, business owners, partners and financial supporters of Osborn Voice. While it was a celebration, the event was also a fundraiser. A silent auction and discounted ad space was offered in an attempt to raise the night's goal of $6,000.
Flaco, a local artist, donated his artwork to Osborn Neighborhood Alliance and it was auctioned off for charity. "I have a big heart, I like donating stuff," says Flaco. "I love working with kids and building communities. I am glad that I could be a part of it."
Osborn Neighborhood Alliance not only has a newsletter but also gives back to the community. The purpose of the newsletter is to highlight the community and inform people about the good work they do in the area.
"We do a lot of things in the community and one of the things that we do is give away food and clothes everyday," said Shanise Foote, program coordinator for Matrix Human Services.

Looking for a healthy, undetectable add-in for your meals and smoothies? Let me introduce you to my friend, Wheat Germ.
The unprocessed embryo of wheat kernel is loaded with healthy goodness. It's simple taste and texture compliments food and pairs easily with baked goods, breakfast delights and shakes.
What can Wheat Germ do for you?
Wheat Germ is loaded with fiber, making it a weight loss super tool. It also helps improve metabolism and balance our hormones, which can improve our stress level. The high levels of vitamins E and B found in wheat germ helps our skin look its best and boosts our immune systems.
Vitamin E also promotes anti-aging and fights cancer, while vitamin B aids in digestion.
Pregnant woman and those who suffer from anemia should incorporate wheat germ into their daily diet thanks to its high iron content. Folic acid brings down the homocysteine levels in blood and prevents damage to the arteries. Lowering your homocysteine levels can also help reduce your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis bone fractures, and dementia.
When considering your brain, wheat germ also helps you out with octacosonal, which improves mental agility and alertness. And for your heart, wheat germ lowers your LDL (lousy) cholesterol and triglycerides.
When cooking with wheat germ, it's interesting to note that it contains a phytonutrient called L-ergothioneine. This powerful antioxidant (unlike others) is not destroyed by heat.
Don't forget that wheat germ is another great source of protein and omega-3's! Plus, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, and Zinc.
Purchasing, Storing and Cooking with Wheat Germ
You can find a canned jar version of wheat germ at almost any super market. Fresh wheat germ smells kind of like toasted nuts. An unopened can has a shelf life of a year. Once opened, you can store wheat germ in the refrigerator for about 9 months.
When baking, you can substitute half a cup to a cup of flour with wheat germ. You might want to add a teaspoon or two for every quarter cup substituted because wheat germ tends to absorb moisture. Try sprinkling wheat germ onto your pancake and waffles or into your morning bowl of cereal.
It's also a tasty topping for your yogurt. Plus, it's perfect for your shakes and smoothies…
Wheat Germ Smoothie Recipes
Wheat Germ Smoothie (from Dr. Oz!)
• 6 oz Greek yogurt
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup almonds
• 1 cup blueberries
• 4 strawberries

• A few ice cubes
Add Greek yogurt, almonds, almond milk and ice to blender and blend to desired consistency.
Add berries, banana and wheat germ and re-blend until smoothie is completely mixed. Enjoy!
Banana Peach Wheat Germ Smoothie

• 1 cup frozen peaches
• 1 cup vanilla low-fat or nonfat yogurt

Did Drake Bell Tell a Justin Bieber Fan 'I Hope You Die'?
Drake Bell may have just taken things too far in his war against Justin Bieber and his Beliebers.
Drake Bell may have just taken things too far in his war against Justin Bieber and his Beliebers.
Drake Bell took to Twitter last night (July 30) to weigh in on the Justin Bieber-Orlando Bloom debacle, getting Beliebers all riled up.
The Drake Bell vs. Justin Bieber feud continues, and Bell is using Bieber's latest troubles as ammo. In a tweet posted this morning, Thursday June 5, Bell compares Bieber's racist comments on video to that of disgraced LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
The 2014 Billboard Music Awards kicked off tonight in Las Vegas, and our favorite pop stars are posting tweets, photos and videos to make sure we don't miss a thing!
The drama is back! Almost exactly a month since Drake Bell revealed that there was "no war" between him and Justin Bieber, the former Nickelodeon actor took to Twitter to once again comment on the Biebs' legal issues.
Drake Bell is a throwback -- a musician who pledges his allegiance to '50s and '60s rock 'n' roll.
The "beef" between Justin Bieber and actor/singer Drake Bell seemed to hit its apex on Thursday night (April 17), when Biebs finally responded to Bell's repeat digital disses by doing a drive-by of Bell's record release party in L.A., stealing the spotlight. Bell replied on Twitter in a semi-sarcastic way and has now spoken out about the situation, saying there is no beef while sharing what really went down.
Justin Bieber and Drake Bell have a bit of a beef, one that exists in the Twitter space. Did The Biebs just pull the ultimate, live and in the flesh chess move response and diss by upstaging Bell at his own party?
Drake Bell has never been one to mince words and he's taking shots once again. Just days after appearing at the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards, Bell is once again making criticisms and in addition to taking shots at Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, he's also adding Nickelodeon star and artist Ariana Grande to his list.
Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, recently in the news for taking shot after shot at Justin Bieber on Twitter, sparking the ire of Beliebers, clearly has bigger worries than Biebs' shenanigans. The actor, formerly the star of 'Drake & Josh,' has filed for bankruptcy.

Cop beaten with baseball bat was trying to protect woman
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter August 28, 2013 1:50PM
Tythia Thigpen | Chicago Police photo
Updated: August 29, 2013 3:14PM
The uniformed Chicago Police officer who was viciously beaten by a baseball bat wielding man was trying save a woman from being hit by the man when he was whacked in the Englewood neighborhood over the weekend, Cook County prosecutors said.
When the officer tried to come to the aide of the woman who was allegedly being hit by Tythia Thigpen in the 5700 block of South Winchester, Thigpen took his bat and went after the cop early Saturday morning, Assistant State's Attorney Heather Kent said.
Thigpen, 29, hit the cop twice in the head and was heard saying "f--- it" before he struck the officer again, Kent said.
When other officers arrived at the scene, they found the beaten cop lying face down on the concrete in a pool of blood desperately trying to stay conscious, Kent said.
The officer went into a seizure when he was being rushed to Stroger Hospital.
He suffered blunt trauma to the head, a brain bleed and bruised ribs, Kent said.
The officer has since been released and is "recovering well," police said.
Before he was beaten, the officer, alone on routine traffic patrol, stopped at the Winchester address when he saw a group of people fighting in front of a home, Kent said.
He called for back up as he exited his car and ordered the crowd to disperse, Kent said.
A witness from the group saw Thigpen hit the woman with the bat and then saw the officer come to her aid before Thigpen hit the cop, Kent said.
Others also allegedly identified Thigpen as the officer's attacker.
Thigpen showed a "complete and utter disregard" for human life when he went after the officer, Kent said as a red shorts, gray t-shirt clad Thigpen looked on in court Wednesday.
Thigpen, who lives in the same block where attack happened, was ordered held without bail for attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery of a police officer and aggravated battery while using a deadly weapon.
He has a previous drug and weapons convictions.

Racing oil is a special blend for the rigors of high speeds. Regular motor oil is better for your engine under ordinary conditions.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:December/January 2012
Racing oil contains additives designed for high speeds, not for ordinary driving.
Ever heard someone brag about running
racing oil in a muscle car? Well, the joke's
on them, because racing oil isn't meant for
daily or even occasional driving. In fact,
running racing oil in a non-track vehicle
can increase the likelihood of sludge
buildup in the engine. And, it can damage
the $1,200 catalytic converter.
Racing oil contains three times more
antiwear and friction reducing additives
(for less wear and more horsepower) than
ordinary oil. To make room for that spiked
dose, the manufacturers yank the detergent,
anticorrosive, antifoam and dispersant
additives—precisely the additives
you need most to keep your street engine
running clean for 3,000 miles. The bottom line: Racing oil is for racing only, get it?
Race teams use lower-viscosity
oil with more friction modifiers
to qualify. Then they change to a
higher-viscosity oil for the race.
Racing teams go through racing
oil at the rate of about 2,130 qts.
of oil per car, per season.
In a typical NASCAR race, oil
temps can run as high as 320
degrees F.
Pit crews bring about 60 qts. of
oil to every race.
Teams analyze the oil after every
race. They check for viscosity
change, the level of metals worn
away, oxidation (indicates how
the oil held up to heat) and additive
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
