Edwardian ADORE Gem Set Acrostic Ring
In general an acrostic is a coded message written in alphabetic script in which the first letter, syllable or word of each paragraph or verse taken in order forms a word or phrase.
Acrostic jewelry is typically sentimental in nature and is given in love, friendship and mourning. It was thought to appear first during the Napoleonic era when ladies wore jewel-encrusted bracelets on their wrists as a souvenir of their lover's name or the date of their initial romantic encounter spelled out using the first letter of the set stones.
This Edwardian example is a ring of 9k yellow gold set with amethyst, diamond, opal, ruby and emerald. In the language of gemstones the word ADORE is expressed without even a whisper spoken. The under gallery is particularly lovely with botanical details and scroll motifs.
Date: Circa 1900.
Measurements: 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.8 grams (1.8 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-3/4 (UK P; Int. Dia. 18; Euro 56.5 mm; Japan just over 15) and easily can sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; evidence of a former resizing only visible with very close inspection or with magnification.
Origin: Most likely English.

Should I believe him? (really long im sorry! but will really appreciate the advice)
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-05-2011 - 8:39am
So I've been reading posts on this site for about 3 months now, it helped for me to see that I wasn't alone. I wanted some advice, and I didnt want to go to any of my friends because honestly i feel too ashamed to say, "i feel ugly, i feel hideous and he just doesnt want to have sex with me anymore" friends will just say no you're beautiful, you have nothing to worry about, but I can't help how I feel. I need honesty that can only come from strangers.
My fiance is NOT LL but within the past 6 months or more, his sex drive has almost completely disappeared. We've been together for 3 years, living together for 2. I am the same that I've always been, my weight doesnt change, I take care of myself, there is nothing different in my looks that there was three years ago. In the beginning we had sex atleast twice a day except for a four month period while I was away finishing schooling. Even then, we frequently talked about our sex life, had phone sex or skype sex. We always talked about our fantasies and was very very open about sex as we are with everything else. As he had said from the begining the only way to explain our relationship is to say we "just fit". We have our fights, disagreements but we can always work it out in the end.
We each initiated sex evenly from the beginning, there would be very few if any a time we would turn down each other and if we did it was always done respectfully taking the others' feelings into consideration. However I will say about 6 months ago he began turning me down, I didnt take it on too much at first, It was a slightly stressful time for both of us and an injury he has from a car accident years before had been acting up alot as well. As a week passed with every night me being turned away I began to worry till it turned into 3 weeks, and all of a sudden that last week we had sex about 3 times (which was still alot less than we would usually have). From then on we haven't had sex more than twice a week for the most and it is now around once every week and a half.
The first time I brought it up, he laughed, because I was crying and he didnt understand what I was talking about, he never even realised our sex life had decreased, he said it was probably the stresses on his mind and i had nothing to worry about, he wasnt cheating (which I know for almost a fact that he is not) and that he was still attracted to me. The second time I brought it up I was furious and we yelled and fought like never before, he said I had gotten materaialistic and that I was putting too much importance into sex. I tried to explain that it wasn't only about the sex but the affection and feeling of being wanted. So to fast track this story we fought about it many more times, either when i tried to initiate sex, was turned away and began to cry, so he brought it up or when I was fed up of trying to "hold out" and snapped. I tried everything from sexy lingerie, to cooking his favourite meals, to walking around completely naked infront of him. Nothing worked. He said I was being too pushy and it turned him off.
Which brings me to one month ago. We fought again, this time I tried to initiate after a week and a half drought. I hadnt muttered one suggestive comment or done one suggestive action since(as he said it turned him off). This time when I initiaed he (excuse me for my crudeness) was hard, i cld feel it and continued of course, he then got up, pushed me away and began to watch tv. I was soo shocked, I tried again till he shouted at me to leave him alone. I didn't understand it, there was no way he could say that he wasn't in the mood, that I hadn't gotten the hint in the beginning. I blew up, I was wrong but at the time I couldnt help it. We fought all day, and then all night and all the next day, for the first time i picked up some of my stuff and left and went to my mother's with all intentions to spend the night. We started txting each other and he asked me to come home, I told him the only way was if he was going to take me serious and have a completely calm conversation about this. He agreed but as it was already late at night said that we couldn't talk tonight, which I agreed to, we were both exhausted and had work the next morning, I came home and we went to sleep.
A few days later while we were out drinking with some friends I asked him when he wanted to have our conversation. He told me there was no need, that he completely understood and that things will definitely change on his part. I believed him....two weeks later and nothing, i patiently waited and decided that my best

Yes, Mol's terminology of "an offer" has always rankled me a bit, because I viewed it in my framework. Oh joy, another offer to have sex! It's sort of like a woman I have in my office who calls every irritating thing that happens an "opportunity." It just bugs the chit out of me. I don't need more offers or opportunities, I need more respect and appreciation for my efforts.
However, viewed a different way, I have an opportunity to engage with my DH and help him find happiness. I have an offer to help him be fulfilled in our relationship and bonded with me in an important way. I have a hard time flipping it like this, but I work at it, because it's all in your frame of reference.
|Thu, 12-08-2011 - 4:56am
lol, yes, just like that. But no apologies necessary because your choice of words helped me "flip" my frame of reference, and that's a GOOD thing, imo, even if it is difficult and uncomfortable at times

OZ REVISITED: Warner Bros. Consumer Products has teamed up with Los Angeles-based designer Tarina Tarantino to create a new jewelry and handbag collection, dubbed "My Pretty" to commemorate the 70th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz." Each group is inspired by a character, including Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch of the West, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Winged Monkey. The Dorothy collection includes rainbow patterns mixed with emerald tones inspired by the Emerald City, and the Glinda collection uses crystallized butterflies, opalescent bubble beads and silver stars. In contrast, the Wicked Witch collection uses signature Lucite skulls in black cherry and emerald shades, and tooth-and-claw-shaped Lucite and metal spikes. The line also incorporates film stills superimposed onto Tarantino's signature Lucite stones, fashioned into pendants, key chains and purse charms. The complete line, ranging from $50 to $350 retail, is set to debut in Tarina Tarantino stores in June.

WASHINGTON (AP) Chairman Ben Bernanke is telling Congress Wednesday that the U.S. job market remains weak and that it is too soon for the Federal Reserve to end its extraordinary stimulus programs.
Reducing the Fed's efforts to keep borrowing rates low would "carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery," Bernanke said in testimony to the Joint Economic Committee.
Bernanke noted that the economy is growing moderately this year and unemployment has fallen to a four-year low of 7.5 percent. Still, unemployment remains well above levels consistent with healthy economies. And Bernanke said higher taxes and deep federal spending cuts are expected to slow economic growth this year.
His comments about the many risks facing the economy, along with the benefits gained so far from the Fed's stimulus, suggest the Fed is not ready to taper bond purchases that have helped lower long-term interest rates to encourage more borrowing and spending.
Stocks initially surged after Bernanke's comments. But they gave up some gains shortly after Bernanke wouldn't rule out scaling back the bond purchases by the fall. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 73 points at 11 a.m. EDT.
The Fed has said it plans to continue its $85 billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases until the job market improves substantially. And after its April 30-May 1 meeting, the Fed said it could increase or decrease the pace depending on how the job market and inflation fare.
The panel's chairman, Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, criticized the Fed's aggressive policies and pressed Bernanke to explain when the Fed might begin to reduce its bond purchases.
Bernanke said the Fed could take a "step down" if the job market shows "real and sustainable progress" over the next few meetings. When Brady asked if that could happen before Labor Day, Bernanke said, "I don't know, it will depend on the data."
But Bernanke made clear that the Fed could reverse course and increase its purchases if the economy began to falter. "We could raise or lower our purchases going forward," Bernanke said.
In recent months, the job market and the broader economy have shown renewed vigor. The economy has added an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November. That's up from only 138,000 a month in the previous six months.
The economy has benefited from a resurgent housing market, rising consumer confidence and the Fed's stimulus actions, which have helped ignite a stock market rally. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has jumped 17 percent this year to a record high. Higher stock prices tend to make many people feel wealthier and more inclined to spend.
Those gains, in part, are why critics of the bond purchases, including some Fed regional bank presidents, have questioned the need to continue them at their current pace. They argue that keeping interest rates too low for too long could send inflation surging or inflate dangerous bubbles in assets such as stocks or real estate. Such a bubble could burst with the same destabilizing effects that the housing bust caused.
Bernanke has had solid support for the bond purchases among the voting members of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee. At each of the Fed's three policy meetings this year, the committee has approved the purchases 11-1.

Feeling depressed? Here's how you can manage your moods during "the change"

Menopause is a normal part of every woman's life, but it can affect your moods. Too often, women and their doctors minimize depression during this time with the inaccurate and possibly even harmful statement, "It's probably just menopause." Usually there are many other factors involved in menopausal mood changes than just hormones. Don't assume "it's just menopause." Although hormonal changes may well play a role in depression, it's still important to schedule an appointment with your physician so she can evaluate other potential culprits, including thyroid disorders, anemia and side effects from medications. Read on for more tips for dealing with mood changes during menopause.
Carol Landau, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine at Brown University's Alpert Medical School, is a co-author of The New Truth About Menopause: Straight Talk About Treatments and Choices from Two Leading Women Doctors.

Sox to get first look at Tigers on Tuesday
BY TONI GINNETTI firstname.lastname@example.com July 8, 2013 10:04PM
SOX AT Tigers
Article Extras
Updated: August 10, 2013 6:35AM
The White Sox will see the American League Central-leading Detroit Tigers for the first time this season Tuesday in Detroit.
''It's odd [we] haven't seen them already,'' manager Robin Ventura said of the Tigers. ''I guess that means a lot of games with them in the second half.''
The Tigers lead the second-place Cleveland Indians by 3½ games and the last-place Sox
by 14.
Last season, the Sox won only six of 18 games against the Tigers.
Movin' on up
Second baseman Gordon Beckham was second in Ventura's batting order for the second consecutive game and for the third time this season. He has batted eighth for most of the first half, but his .338 average after a 1-for-4 effort Monday against the Cubs has made him a top-of-the-order candidate.
''He's been having good at-bats,'' Ventura said. ''He's been hitting to all fields, and that's why you see his average where it is.''
Beckham's streak of three consecutive multihit games ended against the Cubs. Since returning from the disabled list (broken hand) on June 3, he is hitting .342 (40-for-117) in 32 games.
Media darling
Catcher Josh Phegley was surrounded by media before his first home game, including a TV crew from his hometown of Terre Haute, Ind. Phegley was promoted from Class AAA Charlotte on Friday while the Sox were in Tampa, Fla.
''I think coming back here, it will be a little more of a nervous feeling playing in the first game at home,'' he said before hitting a solo home run in the third inning in his first at-bat at U.S. Cellular Field.
Phegley hit .316 with 15 homers and 41 RBI at Charlotte. He was 2-for-7 with a homer and three RBI in two starts against the Rays.
''I have always had some power and the ability to hit the ball to all fields, gap-to-gap,'' Phegley said.
Ventura said he plans to split playing time between Phegley and Tyler Flowers.
Phegley said Flowers has been welcoming.
''We're the catching staff, and we're gong to work together and do our best to get these pitchers through the games and be in a winning position,'' he said.
Peavy update
Right-hander Jake Peavy, who has been on the disabled list since June 5 with a fractured left rib, will throw a simulated game Tuesday in Detroit.

Bush endorses gay marriagePosted by Tom Megginson | 1-02-2011 18:18 | Category: Human rights
Not an exciting ad, except for the fact that the spokeperson is the "junior" Barbara Bush, daughter of fundamentally Christian conservative Republican, U.S. former President George W. Bush. (President Bush Sr.'s wife is also named "Barbara".)
You may recall that George W Bush called for a ban on same-sex marriage in 2004, saying "The union of a man and a woman is the most enduring human institution, honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith. Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society."
Interestingly, Barbara's mother, former First Lady Laura Bush, also spoke in favour of same-sex marriage last year.
And why doesn't the United States have a woman President yet? (Oh yeah, Sarah Palin. Nevermind…)
See Laura Bush's surprising 2010 interview after the break.

Well hello, gorgeous! If you've got kids, I probably don't have to explain what "Parents Need to Eat Too" means. But I will anyway: I make food for grownups that also pleases even the earliest eaters (as in my cookbook, all the recipes here end with instructions for using what you've cooked as baby food). And that kid holding the artichoke up there is so stubborn I like to call him "non-nivorous," so you'll find plenty of picky-eater posts. (Even he is powerless in the face of The Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Entire World.) Poke around a bit, and if you like what you see maybe you'll subscribe to my newsletter or RSS feed. Or "like" me on Facebook. Or follow me on Twitter or Pinterest. So many options! Thanks for visiting. Did I mention how nice you look today?
How to Make Quesadillas: Picky Eater Special
By Debbie Koenig on August 12, 2014 | 2 Responses
Some day, maybe even in the next few years, Harry will eat a wide variety of foods. He'll be eight soon, which rumor has it can be a turning point for picky eaters. In recent months my son has learned to appreciate the salty, beefy chew of a well-grilled steak and the crunchy top layer […]

Thursday..Started out good with diet foods and then all of our romantic VDay plans changed!! DH was feeling odd feelings in his chest, light headedness, wobbly, shortness of breath. I got him right in to see his family doc, from there they sent him via EMS to the ER. After lots and lots of questioning by several people, including the cardiologist, and more testing, they admitted him for the night. In the morning he'll get a treadmill stress test and hopefully the doc can figure out what this is! He did not have a heart attack and his symptoms are puzzling and not following a specific pattern to determine what's wrong.
So, no romantic Valentines dinner for us. Maybe we can do it tomorrow night if he's okay. Main thing is that they figure this thing out!! I miss my sweetheart. I don't like being without him.
I had to eat hospital cafeteria foods for dinner. Ughhh..they had nothing that was really good for me!! I had a chicken wrap and lots of water. I did get good exercise in walking those loooooong hospital corridors though!!
|Fri, 02-15-2013 - 11:45am
Oh gosh how awful to hear this Donna,
Please let us know how DH is today when you can.
Glad you walked the halls at least <g>
Lots of positive thoughts & prayers sent :)
|Sat, 02-16-2013 - 11:33pm
DH is feeling good, no more of those weird symptoms! Thankful for that even though we still don't know what that was! We came home yesterday. Thanks Hugs!

Tomorrow it's heading back up to 63º for a day, nice!!
My DD1's boyfriend flew halfway across the country (he lives in NY, we live in KS) to be with her for a few days for Valentine's Day. She got sick that day, Wednesday, I mean in bed really sick and is just beginning to feel better today, Saturday. He's sick now, too, and is supposed to fly home tomorrow!! Feel so badly for them, they don't get to see each other often enough and had to spend the time with sickness!!
We were supposed to have a family get together today to visit with the boyfriend and that had to be cancelled. Darn! Saved me all those calories, though, as he's a fantastic cook!! Hate that they're sick though!
I'm doing much better on getting back on track with eating and it will be a better weigh-in Tuesday night!

Galloway pleased with COAH changes
Written by CLAIRE LOWE and STEVE PRISAMENT Wednesday, July 25, 2012 03:15 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
GALLOWAY ŌĆō The Township Council took advantage Tuesday, July 24 of an affordable housing order issued recently by the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court.
The court order issued Friday, July 13 protects Affordable Housing Trust Funds from attempts by the state to simply confiscate them.
It directs the Council on Affordable Housing to provide due process to municipalities before taking their trust fund money, according to a New Jersey State League of Municipalities alert issued Monday, July 16.
The Fair Share Housing Center, a public-interest organization that works to defend the Mount Laurel doctrine, also released a statement on the decision.
ŌĆ£This decision means that the Christie administration cannot seize any municipal trust funds without a full and fair hearing for every municipality before COAH,ŌĆØ FSHC staff attorney Adam Gordon said. ŌĆ£The court rightly has brought to a halt the Christie administration's planned July 17 raid on municipal trust funds.ŌĆØ
The July 17 deadline for municipalities to be able to use money it had collected through development fees for COAH was the result of a law signed by former Gov. Jon Corzine in 2008. If the money is not ŌĆ£committed,ŌĆØ it would have gone back to the state. However, the term ŌĆ£committedŌĆØ was never defined.
At TuesdayŌĆÖs meeting, council unanimously approved a resolution ŌĆ£committingŌĆØ more than a half-million dollars in affordable housing funds.
Resolution 204 for 2012 commits funds for the townshipŌĆÖs Affordable Housing Assistance Program to provide financial assistance to ŌĆ£low incomeŌĆØ and ŌĆ£very low incomeŌĆØ living in deed-restricted units.
ŌĆ£The resolution commits $550,000 for affordable housing,ŌĆØ Planner Tiffany Cuviello explained to members of council. ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt specify who gets it, it just commits that sum of money.ŌĆØ
Mayor Don Purdy said it was a good move.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm glad to see the moneyŌĆÖs not going back to Trenton,ŌĆØ Purdy said.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been a long time coming,ŌĆØ Councilman Jim Gorman said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm glad to see it done.ŌĆØ
In 2011, Christie dissolved COAH and put the state Department of Community Affairs in charge of affordable housing, but the seizure deadline was never changed.
A state appeals court then ruled Christie could not eliminate COAH outright. But the deadline for spending the funds was still not addressed.
As the deadline (and the end of the 2012 fiscal year) approached, the state Legislature passed a 2013 budget, as well as two other pieces of legislation to address the trust fund deadline.
Christie line-item vetoed the 2013 budget and the other legislation to eliminate language that would have defined ŌĆ£committedŌĆØ and extended the deadline for municipalities to spend their housing trust funds (S-2011/A-2950).
On Monday July 2, Fair Share Housing Center filed an application in the Appellate Court to stop COAH from taking any municipal housing trust funds until it announced regulations defining ŌĆ£committed.ŌĆØ The New Jersey State League of Municipalities filed a letter in support of this application and requested permission to file as an amicus curiae.
According to the FSHC press release, the appellate court ordered that before any transfer can be made, COAH must provide the affected municipality with written notice describing the exact amount of funds for transfer and how that amount was calculated. The municipality then has the right to contest the transfer before COAH.

The Pentagon has officially lifted the ban on women serving in military combat roles. Top Defense officials in Washington say the move reflects the realities of the modern military. One retired soldier says its about time that women be allowed to serve on the front lines.
Christine Tarnowski saw a lot during her military career.
"I served over 21 years."
A career that included stints in the Army, National Guard, and Reserves.
"I wouldn't trade it for the world. I got to work with people from all over the world, all shapes and sizes and it taught me a lot about life and about people."
The Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at the Veterans Outreach Center applauds the move allowing, for the first time, women to serve in front line military roles.
"It's history in the making. It really is. It's something a lot of people have thought about and fought for for some time."
Tarnowski isn't altogether surprised female soldiers were banned from front line combat roles for so long.
"I don't think the American public was ready to see their wives and daughters and sisters serve in that direct capacity, and dying like that. Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us that IED's and snipers don't discriminate."
The move allowing women in combat does have it's skeptics. Among the biggest arguments: the biological differences between the sexes.
"For those who do serve in those roles, the decision should be based on ability, not gender."
According to the military that, will now be the case. Though it hasn't always been recognized, Tarnowski says women have served combat roles for years.
"You just don't give it any thought when you're doing your day to day job. You just get it done."

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: Lockheed won a $14.1 million to an F-35 design contract, the U.S. Department of Defense announced.
Lockheed Martin Corp., Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., Ft. Worth, Texas, won a $14,165,940 modification to a previously awarded cost-plus-award-fee contract to implement required design changes that allow coalition training operations for the Joint Strike Fighter Program.
Work will be performed at Orlando, Fla. (55 percent), Fort Worth, Texas (34 percent), and El Segundo, Calif. (11 percent).
Work is expected to be completed in December 2016.
No funds are being obligated at time of award.
Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., handled the contract.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Locals dressed as Vikings march through the streets of Lerwick on January 28, 2014, in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The traditional festival of fire is known as 'Up Helly Aa'. The spectacular event takes place annually on the last Tuesday of January. The climax of the day comes with participants in full costume hauling a Viking longboat through the streets of Lerwick to the edge of town where up to 1000 people parade and throw their flaming torches into the galley.

Finger Foods for Kids
See the world through a child's eyes everything is a wonder, a joy, and an avenue to explore. A child's mind is constantly exploring: colours, textures, tastes, shapes etc. And what catches their attention is something that is unique and different from the ordinary. It works the same way with food too. Don't we all know how difficult it is to get a child sit at the dining table and enjoy his food? Although they look adorable with their noses up in the air saying "NO', as parents it is important that we ensure that they eat nutritious meals regularly. At the same time, they seem to relish the junk food available outside, tasty maybe, but not very healthy.
So how do we achieve this exasperating and impossible task of making meal times fun for children?
Treat them to fun-filled, delicious and nutritious food in various colours, shapes and textures. Ensure that the food is not messy and very easy for them to pick up and eat on their own and relish the different tastes. So I present – Finger Foods for Kids, a book that is compiled with recipes that are nutritious, tasty, easy to eat, and most importantly, a lot of fun for 2 to 12 year old kids!
The book is divided into five sections: Dips & More Breads, Tarts and Crackers Mini Munchies Veggie Tit-Bits and Sweet Treats. All the 30 recipes are prepared with child-friendly ingredients like potatoes, cheese, bread etc. Of course, I have also added a healthy share of vegetables, dairy products as well cereals and pulses along with these ingredients to make a complete snack for your bundle of joy. Try recipes like Cheese Dip with Vegetable Crudités, page 8, Crusty Potato Fingers, page 19, Bread Pattice, page 31 and so on…
Try these recipes…I am sure the next time your child will ask you to o cook more of these finger foods than eat the junk snacks available in the market.
Heres wishing you happy cooking, and your little one a very happy meal!

In just a little over three months span of time, the three branches that is said to open in Davao City are now all open and giving Davaoeños more venues for that Krispy Kreme experience. People in the south can come to their branch in SM City Davao in Ecoland while those in the northern part of the city has a new branch to cater to their sweet cravings as well.
Now the third branch in the city has finally opened as Krispy Kreme Celebrates Its Third Touch Down in Davao City at SM Lanang Premier last January 31, 2013.
ALL Photos credit to DavaoFoodTrip.com
It has a kiosk concept and open fresh shop that gives you an outdoor feel. They used wood in the right side of the store that gives it a unique look compared to their two other stores in the city. The long table on the rightmost part as shown in this photo have power outlets where customers can charge their mobile phones and put them in that part that serves as a cover while dining and enjoying their Krispy Kreme doughnuts/baked creations and your fave drinks.
Shown in this photo above is Engr. Therese Lapena-Manalo, SM Lanang Premier Mall Manager (second from left) beside two kids from the Orphanage of St. Joseph along with the management and staff of SMLA Krispy Kreme branch as they did the ribbon cutting ceremony and some photo opp as well last Thursday.
Ms. Steph from the marketing department of Krispy Kreme Philippines is back here once again for the store opening and gave a short message.
To make this store branch opening unique among the three we have seen, Krispy Kreme is sharing an experience with chosen children from the local foundation, the Orphanage of St. Joseph in Tugbok, Davao City.
While waiting for the ribbon cutting ceremony to start, the kids had fun and got busy coloring books…
The kids were treated through a gift giving ceremony by the Krispy Kreme management and some VIP guests.
Then later on the kids got to complete a doughnut dipping session, assisted by one of the Krispy Kreme team members, as a show of support to the world-famous doughnut and coffee brand.
I somehow know their feeling of happiness and excitement inside for these kids who got to try that Krispy Kreme experience. I felt really happy like a kid trying it for the very first time then three months ago in their Abreeza branch.
Our little kid was excited to hear that they have finally opened in SMLA that he really wanted to go there during the opening but he was still going to school that day. But we're sure to visit this latest branch in the city with him this weekend.
Thanks for the sweet treat from Krispy Kreme! Carrot Pecan from their Baked Creations, an Oreo doughnut plus a cup of caramel latte.
We also met Ruby once again at their SM Lanang branch during the opening. We've seen her at their two other branches over the past three months. It was nice to see a familiar, smiling face serving our sweet cravings that day and the days to follow once again. This photo below was taken during their VIP event at SM City Davao two days before they opened there last October 20, 2012.
I can look into their choices of assorted doughnuts forever and want to buy them all. Now I can only wish I can eat them all too! *wink*
Buying their doughnuts is not just for satisfying our sweet cravings for as you enjoy their doughnuts and coffee, you get to help in their legacy of sharing the gift of joy.
Krispy Kreme sets aside P20 for every sale of the brand's specially designed Tin Can for its partner charities—12 organizations that care for the environment: ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. – Bantay Kalikasan and Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society Inc.; for creativity: Cultural Center of the Philippines, Visual Arts and Museum Division; for lives: Caritas Manila Inc., Philippine Red Cross, and ICanServe Foundation Inc.; for our animal friends: Philippine Animal Welfare Society; and of course, for kids: Operation Smile Philippines, Kythe Inc., Development and Accessibility Fund for the Deaf Inc., Autism Society Philippines, and Friends of Hope Inc.
Krispy Kreme gives its share of support for the Philippine Red Cross in Davao by allocating P10 for to the charity for every dozen of doughnuts sold.
Their counter being manned with a few familiar faces from the other branches of Krispy Kreme at this time.

For added security to their valued customers, they have their own CCTVs within the store which I as a customer will really appreciate after an incident in another establishment beside them. Customers need to feel secure while dining since this is an open area in the atrium. Krispy Kreme tries its best to makes every customer comfortable and secure to fully enjoy the Krispy Kreme experience in each visit.
Thank you so much Ms. Marissa Tionko and also to Ms. Steph of Krispy Kreme Philippines! *wink*

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Washington Redskins will face protesters as well as the Green Bay Packers when they play at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Press-Gazette Media reports (http://gbpg.net/14IzQC2 ) some Native Americans plan to protest during the game because they consider "redskins" a derogatory term.
The Wisconsin Indian Education Association's Mascot and Logo Taskforce plans to a hold a session Friday at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on the issue. Several members say they also will be at the noon game on Sunday with signs protesting the Washington team's name and logo.
The Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin is one of the Packers' major sponsors. Tribal business committee member Brandon Stevens says it has taken a position objecting to the Redskins' name but does not plan to participate in the protest.

AP IMPACT: Many US bridges old, risky and rundown
ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, SEPT. 16, 2013 AND THEREAFTER – The sun sets behind the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge over the Anacostia River in Washington on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013. Safety concerns about the Douglass bridge, which carries more than 70,000 vehicles a day, are far from unique. An Associated Press analysis of federal data found 7,795 bridges around the country in significant disrepair and at risk of collapse should a single, vital component fail – a combination of red flags that experts say is particularly problematic. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Motorists coming off the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge into Washington are treated to a postcard-perfect view of the U.S. Capitol. The bridge itself, however, is about as ugly as it gets: The steel underpinnings have thinned since the structure was built in 1950, and the span is pocked with rust and crumbling concrete.

Hankook Tire America received a 2013 outstanding supplier award under the polymer category in its first year as a supplier to Blue Bird Corporation.
The award recognizes Hankook's efforts as an original equipment tire supplier for Blue Bird's line of school buses. A Blue Bird partner since 2012, Hankook provides its AH12 steer position and Z35A drive position bus tires as original equipment fitments for the company's wide range of school buses.
"Being recognized by Blue Bird as an outstanding supplier highlights our dedication to exceptional product quality and service," said Brian Sheehey, director of commercial tires at Hankook. "We appreciate this award and what it says about our commitment to not only our original equipment manufacturing partners, but our bus customers as well."
The company added that it currently offers 19 truck tire models providing coverage for all truck and bus tire service applications, which are available at more than 900 commercial tire dealer locations nationwide.
Sheehey told STN last year that Hankook had upped production of low rolling resistance low rolling resistance tires to meet the rising demand for more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly products. NHTSA identified these tires as a key element to increasing fuel economy for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, as the agency is partnering with the EPA to finalize new regulations that also target a reduction of greenhouse gases.
"Hankook Tire has addressed this demand by increasing truck and bus tire production for 2013," said Sheehey. "We don't foresee any issues in the area of providing LRR tires to meet the needs of our customers."

Coach John Groce bristled at the notion that Illinois' run to the title in the Maui Invitational was diminished by a weaker-than-usual field in the Thanksgiving-week tournament.
''Call [North Carolina coach] Roy Williams and ask him if he thinks Butler's any good,'' Groce said, breaking into a chuckle of disbelief. ''I'm sure Texas felt they could have played better, but you can't control that. The teams we played were good. The environment we played in was tough.''
It's true the Maui field, which featured only one ranked team (No. 9 North Carolina), didn't have its usual shark-infested brackets. In 2000, for example, the Illini — who would share the Big Ten title — lost the Maui final to Arizona, which went on to the Final Four. Two other teams, Connecticut and Maryland, received top-five NCAA seeds.
But that does nothing to diminish what Illinois, which is regrouping under a new coach, accomplished in hoisting the Maui trophy for the first time in four trips to the most prestigious early-season tournament.
While ESPN.com said the Illini's Division I victories in the tournament came against two teams (USC and Butler) that might not make the NCAA tourney, Butler figures to be in the field of 68.
Among the many positives for Illinois: Every Maui champion since 1986 has gone on to reach the NCAA tournament.
Groce readily agreed his team needs to keep making strides in this young season, beginning with its home game Sunday against Gardner-Webb, which won at DePaul 71-59 and led 38-15 at Iowa before losing 65-56.
''Is [Maui] the end-all, be-all? No,'' Groce said. ''We still have work to do. We have to rebound better. We have to foul less. We have to execute some things better offensively. By no means have we arrived. At the same time, we feel blessed to have had a chance to play for that trophy and to have won it.''
What's especially encouraging to Groce is the way his team played in winning four games in six days, including a tough, come-from-behind road victory at Hawaii before the Maui event.
''I said we'd know a lot more about our team when we got
back, and we do,'' Groce said. ''The biggest thing I got out of it was our toughness and the resolve we showed.''
As it turned out, the Illini's 78-77 overtime victory at Hawaii, which built a 44-28 lead in front of its pumped-up crowd, was their toughest island battle. Illinois never trailed in its three Maui games.
''No question, we got popped in the mouth at the start of the [Hawaii] game,'' Groce said. ''We weren't ready, for whatever reason. It was a great experience for us to be able to battle back. We have four seniors who have been through a lot. They stay very poised and very even-keeled. That's how we want to be.''
Asked what stood out to him, Groce was understandably positive about the way the Illini are fitting into their roles.
''Tracy Abrams is starting to understand the point-guard position better,'' Groce said. ''Brandon Paul has done a great job. He was really in attack mode. Tyler Griffey played with a lot of confidence.
''Myke Henry, Devin Langford and Joe Bertrand did a great job off the bench. Nnanna Egwu was really good defensively. And you always know what you're getting from D.J. Richardson. Even if he's not making shots, he can influence the game with his leadership. We could be here for an hour if I went into more detail on each guy.''
The strides an uncertain roster has made in a month under Groce are remarkable. The Maui trophy is proof of that.

Chive Garlic and Herb Rolls
will cook for smiles
If the idea of bringing rolls to a party sounds boring, try making your own (sort of). This savory idea uses store-bought pizza dough, garlic, butter and fresh herbs.
Stuffed Turkish Apricots
oleander and palm
These little sweet-and-salty bites require less than a handful of ingredients and take almost no time to make. Bring them already assembled on a tray or arrange them on a cheese platter.
Brandied Cranberries
This boozy version of a Thanksgiving classic is sure to be a hit at your next holiday get-together. Just mix the ingredients in a pan and bake. How easy is that?
Pumpkin Gingersnap Parfait
the gourmand mom
For an easy-to-assemble, no-bake dessert, try this parfait that's reminiscent of pumpkin cheesecake. Make in individual cups or assemble in a trifle bowl and let guests serve themselves.
Cheese Plate with Dried Fruit and Crackers
a beautiful mess
Everybody loves cheese, but that same old appetizer plate can get tiring after a season stuffed with holiday parties. To build a more interesting spread, try adding a few distinctive cheeses and serving them with a variety of accompaniments like flavored crisps, dried and fresh fruit, and nuts.
Roasted Feta with Thyme Honey
This unique and delicious cheese appetizer takes less than 15 minutes to assemble and bake. The only challenge will be grabbing a bite before it's all gone!
Hot Apple Cider Rum Punch
brown eyed baker
In less than 10 minutes, you can whip up this spiked cider punch that'll warm up your guests. For a non-alcoholic version, just omit the rum.
Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts
sally's baking addiction
If you want to impress your host, bring these deceptively simple little nibbles. Save some extras in a mason jar as an easy, edible gift, so she can savor them after the party.
Thanksgiving Cheese Ball
glue sticks blog
Your kids can offer a little helping hand creating this pre-dinner treat: Let them draw the turkey head on card stock, or instruct them to make the feathers out of crackers and pretzels.
Pomegranate Margaritas
tide and thyme
Pomegranate is a great autumnal fruit, but extracting the juice can be tricky even for kitchen pros. Luckily, you can find the juice bottled in most supermarkets to concoct this fruity cocktail.

Accidental Oakton House Fire a Total Loss
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a house fire Wednesday, January 26, 2011, at approximately 9:10 p.m., in the Oakton area of Fairfax County. The single-family home is located at 10605 Vale Road.
Firefighters saw heavy fire and smoke coming from the front of the two-story home upon arrival. Arrival of crews to the fire scene was slowed by trees blocking the road and several downed power lines in the neighborhood. The Incident Commander called for tanker task force due to the lack of nearby fire hydrants. It took firefighters over an hour to bring the fire under control. The fire originated in the two-car garage. One of the occupants was treated at the scene and refused medical transport. The male and female occupants have been displaced and escaped prior to fire crews arriving. The occupants declined Red Cross support.
The home is a total loss.
According to fire investigators, a gas generator too close to combustible materials caused the fire.

The day before consisted of going to classes to get an education and let me tell you my mind was not up for learning. It was all for thinking about Disney!
When I got home I was running around like a mad person making sure I had everything I needed. Once I finished packing I did my nails festive while I waited for Brittany to come over.
Brittany arrived around 9pm with her big suitcase that could hold enough for a family of four. That being said it was over weight and being a nice friend I put some of her stuff in my suitcase.
Andy arrived shortly after but staid in the back room and called it a night. While waiting for Chelsea to arrive Brittany decided to try on her halloween costume.
After all the fun and excitement over the halloween costume we decided to get down to business and made a scavenger hunt we could do when we were down there. Lets just say it didn't work all that well!
Chelsea ended up arriving at around 11pm. We got settled down and called it a night.
I was way to excited to sleep, DISNEY WORLD tomorrow! Brittany and me ended up talking till the wee hours of the morning, which was probably not a good idea since we had to be up bright and early.
DISNEY TOMORROW MORNING! 3:45am comes early!

At 3:30am SpectroMagic was going off, time to wake up!
Just kidding hit that snooze button, SpectroMagic played once again at 3:45
We all got up and got ready for our adventure. My father was kind enough to take us to the airport on his way to work. We all crammed into the car and headed to the airport at 4:30
We checked our bags and went threw security, where I was asked how old I was. Um 20, forever a child!
Once we got threw security we waited at the gate for a good 40 mins. I watched bosox2001 videos on youtube because they are my favorite disney videos to watch & I'm in love with that family, Brittany caught up on Greys & some sleep
And Andy was ready to be in Orlando
After a long wait we finally boarded, Chelsea didn't end up sitting near us because she purchased her ticket separately. Me Brittany and Andy sat near the back of the plane and let me tell you it smelled like poopy diapers. Didnt we leave the daycare for a week? Gross
We arrived late to JFK, which made us almost late for our connecting flight to Orlando. There was a family who sat behind us who were also going to Disney and was freaking out thinking they were going to miss the connecting flight. The father booked it to the other gate once he got off the plane, while running his daughter took a major wipe out, but he was still running and didn't realize he was missing a child. Really?!
Well we all made it onto the flight with time to spare, no need to lose a child. This flight consisted of ma and Brittany getting all our homework done. No homework in Disney!
The good thing was our flight landed early which meant we arrived earlier than planned!
We took the ever so classy Magical Express to the Classiest Resort on property
We were lucky enough to be in line first which meant front row on the Magical Express!!!
On our way there Alicia was texting me asking if I would be able to capture the moment on video of her attacking andy when we arrived. And of course I did (I just have to start getting on making the video)
We soon went under the beautiful arch
Which I tweeted: Im Home!!!
Then we found ourselves at another beautiful site. Although it was in the works of being changed to blue.
The first stop was Wilderness Lodge, my dream resort! So beautiful
My parents staid there when they visited Alicia in September, so jealous
The second stop was the contemporary and then the Polynesian. I was ready to get off the bus when we stopped here. I remember texting Alicia how sad I was that we were not staying there. Just means we have to stay there next time
The last stop was the GLFO! Our home for the next 6 days

Oh the Grand Floridian what a beautiful place. At first I was not up for staying here because I believed it was a place for snobs, not the case.
When we pulled in I could not believe that we were going to call this place home. We got off the Magical Express so fast and made our way inside.
We didnt even get into the lobby when Alicia decided to attack Andrew. How precious
Alicia was kind enough to check us in and check out the room before we arrived. She led us to our room while we all took in the beauty
Our room was located in Sago Cay, the building location was wonderful a nice short walk to the bus stop and the main building. Plus you had a perfect view of the castle!
Our room was located on the third floor, the elevators were also very classy!
We reached our room and I was excited to see that we got the new key to the world cards and the knew doors where you just tap your key on the door to unlock it.
When you first walk in there is a small hallway
to the left was the closest that had the safe and some classy robes
To the right was the bathroom area
onto the bedroom, so much more room than the allstars!
Our porch and view
Once we took in the beauty of the room we decided to go exploring and get our refillable mugs. We got lost on the way
The quick service was changed to Mizner's Lounge in the main building. While making our way there I spotted Miss Lynn. For those of you who might not know her here is her story
Miss Lynn hangs out in the lobby of the grand Floridian with her teddy bears. In earlier years her and her husband would hand out teddy bears to children at the Grand Floridian.
Her sister has said that the Grand Floridian was her and her late husbands favorite spot. They would both visit together and enjoy the music. Lynn is very well known to the cast members and enjoys making conversation with them.
Anyways once we got our mugs we went back to the room to get ready to get to the parks!

About Your Money: In the New Economy
The financial crisis of 2008 has ushered in a new facet of the "New Economy." Whatever you say about the origins and course of this financial crisis, this new dramatic development will be a major influence in our economic future. I will discuss the financial crisis and where it has led us. I will then look at how this "New Economy" will affect your job prospects, investment strategies, retirement plans, personal finance. We are in an entirely new phase of our economic progress reinforced by a new administration coming into office. It will be exciting to some and of concern to others. But we all must understand it and use it to our advantage. — Leo Cecchini (Ethiopia 1962–64)
