We posted an article recently about cohabitation — it contained suggestions on how to avoid the transition from boyfriend-girlfriend to roommates who spoon and fart a lot once you move in. And it set off quite a debate in the comments section about what exactly men vs women (or is it men and women?) need when it comes to sustaining romance amid piles of bills and laundry. So, where do the rest of you fall when it comes to the three F's… or the three C's? (There has to be at least one guy out there who wants chocolate-chocolate-chocolate…right?)
SS: I [a woman] have been reading a bunch of books on marriage lately (from the men's point of view: completely fascinating, literally cannot stop reading these, it's like behavioural science for some other species!) and they all seem to say the same thing, from either a politically correct, or not so much, point of view. Basically: Don't make every interaction a complaint. If one stays home and one works, allow the one who's just gotten home some time to unwind (no immediate unloading and venting) and respect, respect, respect. If there is one common thread running through these books, it's that men need respect from their partners (followed closely by sex and food.) Or, as one book so neatly put it: "Just follow the three F's: Food, Flattery & Fucking."
The women's version of that would be, "Just follow the three C's: Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate."
Dannie: I, as a woman, would much rather have food, flattery and fucking than only chocolate. And, respect is a crucial ingredient to any interaction with me. In fact, if anyone, regardless of sex, is disrespected in a relationship, it's not a good relationship. I despise the whole, "Men need respect" paradigm, because it usually translates into "Pretend to be submissive to boost his ego, and don't contradict him openly to keep his poor little man brain from feeling stupid." Respect is respect; both need it, not just the man. And, guess what — men and women are in fact members of the same species! We have far more in common than we do different. In fact, if we were more different than alike, one of us would be a banana.
SS: We actually share 50% of our DNA with bananas, not sure if the percentage is that high re: the amount of DNA I share with my husband…
Yes, yes, obviously if you're with a guy who doesn't respect you, you shouldn't be with him, but I disagree that a woman who treats her partner with respect is submissive, or somehow kowtowing to his "poor little man brain." My point was that women often belittle their husbands without even realizing it, questioning their judgement about every little thing, whereas I don't notice men doing this to their wives as much (this is what I have observed, at least, in 23 years of marriage, and watching friends – divorced and not). Perhaps your relationship experience has been different.
Spes: 50% is not a lot considering we share more than 90% with fruit flies.

"Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives." John Galsworthy
The price we pay for loving dogs is that we will have to say goodbye someday – and always too soon. We each know this all too well. In fact, it's been said that this may be the only real flaw of dogs – the painful fact that their lives are so much shorter than ours.
Today we all feel this familiar sadness because we've learned that Chopper – Fences for Fido's very first unchained dog – died this week due to complications of cancer. With the passing of this stately, gentle old friend, we want to pause and remember what a mark Chopper left on our world. He was once a lonely, scruffy backyard dog. But everything changed, practically overnight, when a group of Portland friends met Chopper and realized they could do something to help. What they did changed Chopper's life and his family's life, and then that change rippled across the community and just kept going. Chopper galvanized a mission and a passion that continues to grow today.
New Dog Tethering Law in Effect January, 1, 2014
Drafted and supported by a broad coalition, the new law adds an important tool to address the public safety and animal welfare problems presented by chronically-chained dogs in communities across Oregon. Like all laws, this one is intended to be enforced by appropriate law enforcement officers. Fences For Fido does not have enforcement authority.

The new law does the following:
Limits tethering to:
By Patti Loverink, Fences For Fido Co-Chair
In the summer of 2012, our Fido community made something truly remarkable happen: Through just one whirlwind day of online voting, you helped us win a Toyota Tundra pickup through Toyota's 100 Cars For Good campaign! We knew that having a truck that belonged exclusively to Fences For Fido would make a huge difference in our work, and over these past several months it surely has.
As a Fences For Fido foster parent, sometimes pictures say more of what it means to me then my heart can express. I can tell you this. It is difficult to think of myself as a "volunteer" when I foster for Fences For Fido. Why? Because it is an honor to watch the Fences For Fido team do whatever it takes to see their furry charges free, healthy, happy, and finally in a forever home. I consider it a blessing and a privilege to be able to open my home, give a little love, and watch their spirits begin to heal and blossom. It brings me joy when a dog learns what it is to be safe, warm, fed, to revel in a squishy bed, and learn to just be a dog that is part of a family of love. The community of Fences For Fido gives me all the love and support I need to do this. They have never failed to "be there" when I needed help…from an emergency of a sick puppy, to people coming to play with puppies so I can get a break, to donating food when needed and so much more. It has just been an absolutely amazing joy and blessing in my life to do this with this great group of loving human beings.

After a long series of professional and personal upheavals, Detective Lane begins his latest adventure happy, at peace, and enjoying life with his partner Arthur, their children Christine and Matt, and his able new partner, RCMP officer Keely Saliba.
Publisher: HarperCollinsPub Date: 09/24/2013
Thriller. Author Adam Mansbach may be best known for writing a humorous picture book for adults satirizing the bedtime habits of small children and their unhappy, exhausted parents, but he's back to his roots with this gripping blend of horror and suspense. Set on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, The Dead Runfollows two people -- one escaping from her torturers and one coerced into delivering a creepy relic to a cult leader -- as they try to make it through the desert alive. In addition to religious fanatics, outlaw bikers, and corrupt cops, there might be an undead virgin or two; this fast-paced, violent, profanity-laden tale won't be for everyone.
Publisher: Blue Rider PressPub Date: 10/01/2013
Spy Fiction. Former CIA agent Valerie Plame, famously exposed by the second Bush administration, has put her undercover experience to good use in this co-authored fiction debut (and likely series opener) starring CIA ops officer Vanessa Pierson. Vanessa's following leads to determine who's behind Iran's stockpiling of nuclear weapons. Regularly violating orders (including the one about not getting romantically involved in the field), Vanessa also regularly finds herself in trouble with her superiors, but that's all part of the fun. The rest is provided by international travel, anti-surveillance tradecraft, and high-octane action. Don't miss it!
Publisher: G.P. Putnam's SonsPub Date: 10/01/2013
Financial Thriller. In this sequel to the Shamus Award-winning Black Fridays, former Wall Street trader Jason Stafford is hired to find three billion dollars -- the proceeds of a Ponzi scheme whose author died in prison amid financial scandals. But each person he contacts seems to suffer suspicious -- and deadly -- accidents. As in the 1st book in the series, Jason's troublesome ex-wife complicates things, while scenes with his autistic son add a touching, personal counterpoint to the shady financial activities and even shadier major players.
Publisher: Random HousePub Date: 09/17/2013
Psychological Suspense. Sixteen-year-old Violet has been committed to a mental hospital after supposedly injuring Will, her 12-year-old brother; Will is both brainwashed and autistic; older sister Rose has run away; dad's an alcoholic. And mom? Mom's the powerful force behind all that devastation, both sadistic and narcissistic as she manipulates others for her own reasons. Violet, despite her institutionalization, is perhaps the most stable, but as she tries to discover clues to Rose's disappearance (and what really happened the night Will got hurt), she invites more violence into her life. Told from both Violet and Will's points of view, Mother, Motheris disturbing in its revelations of abuse and riveting in its slow unfolding.
Each year, the International Thriller Writers (ITW) gives awards to the best thrillers and suspense novels in certain categories -- including best novel and best first novel. Some recent winners are listed below.
Publisher: Silver OakPub Date: 05/01/2012
Suspense Fiction. St. Croix, Minnesota, is a dying town, falling apart as its children die of leukemia, while just upriver, the town of Barron -- home to a successful chemical plant -- is flourishing. Naturally, tensions are fueled by allegations of pollution and they come to a tipping point with the death of the chemical company head's daughter...and the accusations of murder leveled at a St. Croix girl. Now add some fuel to the fire -- a mysterious man threatening retribution, a violent thug, a missing scientist, and the St. Croix girl's lawyer, who happens to be her father. Suspense "doesn't get any more excruciating than this," says Booklistof this 2013 winner of the ITW Award for Best Novel.
Publisher: Bantam BooksPub Date: 06/22/2010
Suspense Fiction. In Boston, Massachusetts, a pretty young teacher has disappeared from her home, leaving her young daughter asleep upstairs. While at first it seems possible, if unlikely, that she left of her own volition, things don't quite add up...and there's no shortage of suspects, starting with her strangely uncommunicative husband. The detective assigned to the case is D.D. Warren (in her 3rd appearance), and she digs up more strange connections the deeper she goes, including information that suggests that the missing woman -- and her husband -- carefully concealed her past. The Neighbor won the 2010 ITW Award for Best Novel; the series is now up to six if it catches your fancy.
Spiral - by Paul McEuen
Publisher: Dial PressPub Date: 03/22/2011
Scientific Thriller. Liam Connor is an 86-year-old pioneer in the field of nanoscience, working out of Cornell University. His death by apparent suicide is hard for both his granddaughter Maggie and his colleague Jake Sterling to swallow -- especially after it becomes clear that he was tortured. It is up to the two of them to determine why Liam was tortured -- and what role he played in the use of biological weapons in World War II. Booklist's reviewer called Spiralthe "most gripping and engrossing thriller" he's read in 50 years of reading thrillers and praises the author's skill with plot, pace, and characterization, and with his "brief, lucid disquisitions" on science. No wonder it won the ITW Award for Best First Novel in 2012.
Publisher: Reagan Arthur BooksPub Date: 06/05/2012
Thriller. Smart and well written, this debut novel -- which was selected as a "Best Beach Read" by The Hollywood Reporter and won the ITW Award for Best First Novel in 2013 -- is being likened to John Grisham's The Firm ("only with a whole lot more action," says bestselling author James Patterson). It stars former con artist and Harvard Law student Mike Ford, who accepts a position with a consulting firm whose specialty is pulling strings for (and pulling the strings of) the top 500 most powerful people inside the Beltway. If you love this intrigue-filled book, you'll be pleased to know that there's a sequel in the pipeline.
Publisher: St. Martin's GriffinPub Date: 05/24/2011
Psychological Suspense. On a beautiful sunny day, Vancouver Island realtor Annie O'Sullivan shows a house to one last friendly prospective buyer -- and is kidnapped at gunpoint. Held captive in a remote cabin and made to follow rules that dictate when she can eat, bathe, and even speak, Annie is brutalized physically and psychologically for a year before she can escape. Now, in sessions with her therapist, Annie shares the story of her trauma, her escape, and her ongoing fear and anger, for her kidnapper has yet to be found. Psychologically intense, this 2011 winner of the ITW Award for Best First Novel is "sure to leave readers looking over their shoulders for a smiling stranger" (Booklist).

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.

Can't Read Court Documents Correctly...
Posted by
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON -- So I applied for a job and was informed that I would have to have a background check done. So after waiting 2 weeks with no word about the job, I get a copy of the background check that they performed in the mail. In the county criminal section I had 2 misdemeanors for driving on a suspended license, yes very stupid on my part. Went to the arraignments on both of them was sentenced and started a payment plan, well I missed the last couple of payments on those tickets. Yes once again stupid on my part. So 2 FTA's (failure to appear) were issued because of the missed payments, it just meant that the tickets were sent to collections on 04/24/07 and 01/08/08.
Well on the copy it read that on those dates FTA warrants were issued, so I called the courts to make sure and they confirmed only FTA's were issued no warrants. Both courts gave me copies of the court dockets, and I called the company and asked what to do. The guy I was speaking with said I needed to dispute it, but then proceeded to tell me that it would be a waste of both of our times if I had warrants and he asked are you positive you have no warrants. I told him I had the court documents to prove it, he told me I had to fax them. He told me that it would at best the dispute would be resolved in 10 business days but that it could take up to 30 days.
I asked the court clerk why it would say that in my records, she informed me it doesn't a lot of the time what happens is the person or people performing the background checks don't read the court documents correctly. I read in some magazine that this company was like number 13 on the list of the best employer screening companies.
How can a company be in the top 20 on that list and not be able to read a court document?

Do you have any idea how many city, state, county, parish, district and various municipal courts there are in this country? I bet each one uses a unique form.
It looks like they are working with you to straighten it out as quickly as they can - I wouldn't be in such a hurry to complain that they didn't recognize your court's document at first glance.

Pay the darn tickets and be done with them
jeromeyg on 07/13/2008:
I understand they have to go through a lot court documents from many different courts. What I forgot to mention in my original posting that it cost me $100 to have them screw it up. Also on my background check they sent me it had the court locations and the phone numbers. When I called the other day they said they would have to call the courts to make sure that I didn't have warrants. Why didn't they just call the courts in the first place? Maybe they are not obligated to or didn't have time. I am just saying if they have 42 years of experience and 99.99% accuracy rate why don't they take an extra couple of minutes to try to understand it correctly?

Mistaken For Sex Offender
Posted by
Mistaken For Sex Offender
I applied for employment at the Kroger Grocery Store, located in Staunton, Va. I have a Law Enforcement Background and have NEVER been arrested. Kroger has General Information Servives (GIS) perform pre-employment background checks.
As an Officer I conducted background checks, and GIS made an unprofessional mistake. GIS, HAD ALL MY CORRECT INFORMATION and then assumed I was an individual on the Virginia Sex Offender registry. I lost the opportunity for employment as KROGER AND GIS WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE.
After e-mails to GIS and KROGER stating I was getting an ATTORNEY, contacted the press, and contacting the Better Business Bureau, GIS did confirm their mistake. Kroger has never replied!

UGH!!! I'm really sorry that happened. So many background check companies use automated systems these days, rather than having a human eyeball each report, I think this sort of thing is going to happen more and more often.
Anonymous on 11/18/2010:
I have a common name and a place I applied at last year made me come down in person to prove I wasn't a felon who committed a kidnapping in Washington. I've never lived in that state so it was obvious to me that that person wasn't myself. But I'm glad that they pulled up that criminal's mugshot and saw that she wasn't me. Was there was way for them to pull up that person's picture?
PepperElf on 11/18/2010:
though at this point ... would you really want the job if they were that rude to you and refused to believe the truth?
Samantha Rance on 10/03/2014:
Yes, I just received copy of a report from GIS that Dollar General, Bossier City, LA requested. I have an assault charge that is a misdemeanor, and GIS has as a felony. It is hard enough to get a job with violent crimes on your record and now they are trying to say that it is a felony. Plus, they got some of my address information wrong. If this company is going to do background checks that determine whether or not people get employed, they should be more attentive to the details! I have kids that I am trying to take care of!!!!! Then the letter is dated and postmarked the 29th, I don't receive it until the 3rd, and they are telling me that I have 6 days from the above date to file for a reinvestigation. So really I only have two. Also, I have other things on my record and NONE of that came up. Just the bogus felony. Very unprofessional.

A mature lady legfeet tickle torture - For me, baby!' she thought again, sucking him as her loving hands caressed his ass and very swollen balls. She knew that he must have dreamt this too and Nora wanted all of his dreams to come true. She didn't care what they were. She was willing to do anything he wanted from her. Ben stood in shock, enjoying the fact he was in Nora's mouth and he tried remembering all his dreams of her doing this, but there was no way possible to count them all.

It was there that I learned that she was bi-sexual. She wasn't into the whole lesbian thing like she thought she was because muff diving was not something she enjoyed doing back. She gave me a coy smile and squeezed my hard-on underneath the table. The next night we went out and when we got back to her place we fucked. She wasn't one for foreplay as much as she just moaned that she was wet and that I needed to, "do things to her now." I complied. She ...

Without letting go of the long shaft, Amy dropped her head to Dave's waist and started licking and kissing his balls. Then she opened her mouth as wide as it would go, to engulf his fat knob with her mouth. His young cock was so big and fat Amy could only get 3 or 4 inches in, but her blowjob ...

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.
So many people in Texas want their own Texas ranch. Yet it's a paradox how the all-too familiar forces of growth and industry and energy change the landscape and still, we think we're immune from the force of numbers.
We have this idea in our head that nothing will change in Texas, that Texas will remain ranch and farms and cattle and cotton with oil derricks in the distance, and most of us want our own ranch and horses and boots and that the only change will be when we get our own ranch and horses and cattle and crops and a few oil derricks dotting the cotton fields
We possess the illogical notion that while we always hear about the water tables falling, that will never change and we'll never hear that the water's gone.
We try to ignore the increasing pressure on our minds from the population, which doubled from 1950s 7.7 million to 2000's 20 million and then to 25 million in 2010. Despite people and more people and more people, those of us from Texas families of six and seven generations feel rural though the vast majority live in cities. Though we wonder at how long it's been since we saw a tumbleweed blow down Main Street, we don't make the connection.
We still want our little ranch and cattle and cotton, though we remember when Houston was the size of Austin now. We want our ranch though we remember when the road from Dallas-Fort Worth to San Antonio was rural with vast stretches of crops and livestock and not chopped up with development. We remember when Dallas and Fort Worth were two distinct cities, yet still don't adjust our desire to have a ranch of our own.
We want to walk out of the house and not see another house in sight, walk over to the stable and saddle up with an old worn saddle with our name and brand tooled in dark leather, and ride easily to where nothing built by humans can't be seen, or heard.
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.

Half Penny at Work
The People's Transportation Plan (PTP) is in action and Miami-Dade made it happen at the ballot box on November 5, 2002. By a margin of two to one, Miami-Dade voters approved the People's Transportation Plan and the half-penny transportation surtax, paving the way for a dedicated funding source exclusively for the improvement of transportation.
Many improvements have been made to Miami-Dade County's bus and rail service. Since passage of the surtax, the following programs and services have been implemented:
- Golden Passport program - which provides free public transportation to all senior citizens 65 years of age and older and to those who receive Social Security benefits.
- Free Metromover service - for all in downtown Miami.
- 24-hour Metrobus service - on 21 routes, 7 new bus routes, the execution of over 358,000 additional hours of bus service and the implementation of 4,500,000 additional bus service miles.
Below are the major transit projects proposed by the PTP
Funding of major highway and road improvements undertaken by Miami-Dade County Public Works through 2014 is among the many long-term benefits of the People's Transportation Plan. These projects include:
- Creating viable reverse flow lanes on major thoroughfares
- Construction of NW 87th Avenue between NW 154th Street and Miami Gardens Drive ( NW 183rd Street)
- Accelerating program to provide ADA accessibility to bus stops throughout the County
- Constructing major ingress/egress improvements in downtown Miami, from SW 8th Street to SW First Avenue
- Upgrading the County's traffic signalization system
- Funding grade separation of intersections where appropriate

Photo #: S-584-164
"Cruiser Submarine Type # 4 (High Speed)" ... October 23, 1920
Incomplete preliminary design plan for a "Cruiser Submarine" (Type # 4 -- High Speed). The Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair requested in early October 1920 that his staff develop a set of comparative studies for ships of this type, apparently reflecting his desire to anticipate a possible need for large submarine scouts. Compared to Type # 1 (see Photo # S-584-163), Type # 4 sacrificed considerable cruising radius and most gun armament to achieve higher speed, while adding no protection, and accordingly was considered unattractive in a contemporary bureau report. The concept was not pursued.
This plan provided two 8-inch guns, diesel machinery, and a surface speed of 18 knots in a ship 550 feet long on the waterline, 42 feet in beam, and with a normal surface displacement of 8,750 tons.
Note: The original document was pencil on linen (black on white).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".

How to get rid of Tonsil Stones; First Action Steps
Tonsilloliths, best known as tonsil stones are tiny whitish deposits that are usually seen on the surface of the tonsils. This type of disorder comes as a result continued accumulation of food substances at the far end of your mouth. The situation can be quite embarrassing since victims usually produce foul mouth odor due to bacteria reaction. Tonsil stones are usually common to people with deep tonsil craters. In most cases, the stones are usually dislodged when someone either coughs or eats. Though many regard the disorder as not serious, it is always vital to seek medical attention in order to have the situation controlled. However, there are still ways in which victims can have the stones removed at home, but if in doubt it is advisable to avoid the risk of aggravating a problem that is already worse.
So, what do You need to start with?
The removal process will require you to have the following equipment:
• Sterilized pins
• Torch or flashlight
• Mirror
• Towel
• Plenty of water
Follow the following easy steps:
1. Open your mouth wide in front of the mirror so as to easily trace the position of the tonsils. Hold back your breath and tighten your back mouth muscles so as to have the tonsils bulge outward making it easy to reach them.
2. Use an extra long pin to remove of any visible tonsil stone on the craters. Though slight bleeding is normal, ensure you do all it takes to prevent excessive blood loss as it is not healthy. Extract the tonsil stones one by one and ensure you trace any that might be hidden. It is important to be extra cautious not to damage mouth tissue with the pins.
3. It might prove hard to remove tonsil stones because of the sticky saliva that forms at the far end of your mouth. You must keep trying until you get hold of the stone. If you realize that sticky saliva is forming in the process, you can take a glass of water in order to thin it out. Alternatively, you can take water before commencing the process of tonsil stone removal. This play a great role of making the task less tiring.
4. It is very important to hygienically discard the tonsil stones. This you should do by gently dragging the bobby pin bearing the stones on a clean towel and later wrapping it well in readiness for disposal. This helps in reducing chances of contamination.

G. Loomis Jerkbait Series Casting Rods - $245.00 to $255.00
At the right times of year fishing a jerkbait is a proven technique that will boat you spots, largemouth and smallmouth, but it takes the right rod to work jerkbaits properly with minimal effort. The G. Loomis Jerkbait Series Casting Rods are designed with fast tips and progressive tapers in the mid section of the rod so that anglers can work the pause and retrieve technique that can be so deadly for bass. G. Loomis' proprietary "progressive-power-taper" also provides increased power as the blank flexes. This along with the extra power in the butt section allows for better fish fighting control, as well as, increased casting distance. Each G. Loomis Jerkbait Series Casting Rod also features premium Fuji Alconite Guides, which reduce friction and compliment the blank's characteristics, as well as, a Fuji ECS Reel Seat for a complete transmission of sensitivity into the angler's hands. The G. Loomis Jerkbait Series Casting Rods answer the call for quality jerkbait rods – delivering unique innovations in blank design to increase your effectiveness on the water.

Quinceanera Decorations
by Giorgina Devereaux
The Quinceanera decorations that a young lady chooses are very important since she has waited for this big event for many years and every detail matters.
The planning begins up to a year in advance of the big day, with family and friends involved. To fully appreciate the Quinceanera celebration, it is important to understand its origins and how this event is celebrated.
Quinceanera ("fifteen years" in
English) is the coming of age ceremony held in honor of a young lady's fifteenth
After the Roman Catholic religious
ceremony is concluded, a reception is either held in the Quinceanera's home or
at a banquet hall.
Thereafter, the father of the
Quinceanera dances with her followed by her godfather. The Quinceanera's court
is comprised of her godparents and chambelan (a young man who is her date for
the evening). The chambelan usually has the first dance with the Quinceanera,
which is a traditional ballroom waltz.
Quinceanera Decorations
Quinceanera decorations consist of
the following:
Balloons: Balloons are a wonderful way to instantly transform a party into something extraordinary. You can choose from different colors and materials, such as latex or Mylar. For added beauty, opt for colors that match your theme.
Cake Topper: A cake topper is
a must have for your Quinceanera decorations. There are different styles to choose
Candles: Candles provide the perfect mood lighting. You may place a tea candle inside a clear glass candle holder and use it as a centerpiece for each table. For added beauty, consider surrounding the votive with tulle in the color that matches your theme.
Ceiling Danglers: Ceiling danglers are one other way to add shimmer to your Quinceanera decorations. They come in different designs and colors, such as metallic silver or gold.
Chair Covers: Dress up your
chairs with chair covers that will bring a dose of elegance to your formal
seating arrangement.
Clear Mini Christmas Lights: You can bring twinkle to your Quinceanera decorations by intertwining clear mini Christmas lights inside tulle that adorns the top of your party table skirt as well as the cake table, gift table, or any other areas that could use some extra sparkle and a hint of romance.
Confetti: Confetti adds festivity to tables. For instant color and beauty, sprinkle confetti around the centerpiece.
Deluxe Party Kit: For added convenience, you may wish to use a deluxe party kit that has service for 8 consisting of the following:
Entrance Arch: An entrance arch makes a fabulous impression for guests. It creates a festive, sweet, and sophisticated setting. The result will be a grand entrance for all to appreciate. It makes a great photo op too.
Faux Flowers: Flowers are an
important element in Quinceanera decorations. They add beauty, color, and brighten
up any event. You may wish to display faux flowers to save on the costs of

Convincing a potential business customer that they can trust you with their data can be a difficult and time-consuming task. TRUSTe, the leading data privacy mangement solution provider, has streamlined this task with its TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification program.
With TRUSTe's reputation as an industry leader in privacy, TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification can significantly reduce the time and work it takes to earn a potential client's trust in your data privacy management practices and gain their business.
Companies frequently work with third party service providers, such as marketing partners, payments processors and others to support their business and customers. These contractual relationships often require a service provider to collect, store, and transmit sensitive end user data on behalf of their business customer, who expects their data will be protected with standards that match or exceed their own.
TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification is an especially attractive option for service providers who operate in the European Union (EU) as both a company and its service provider are subject to European Union Safe Harbor Principles when handling EU customer data. A TRUSTe certification can help ensure that both a company's website and the service or product platform are EU Safe Harbor compliant.
Service providers that use cloud computing to deliver their services have added complexity to their data infrastructure and the threshold to winning a potential customer's trust with their data can be significantly higher. TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification is equipped to certify the privacy practices of cloud companies and can help them reassure clients and customers of the strength of their cloud data management practices.
TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy certifications follow a comprehensive and proven multi-step process to ensure your privacy practices meet applicable regulatory and industry standards.
A TRUSTed Cloud Data privacy certifications begin with a review of your data privacy management practices for each cloud platform application you want to certify. We work with you to identify a range of information including what data is collected, how it's used, who is it shared with, third party agreements, use of trackers, privacy disclosures, opt-outs, and much more. We also review stated privacy practices and policies. The TRUSTe team uses a combination of methodologies including a manual evaluation of your privacy practices by our team of privacy analysts, company interviews and on-site engagements, and digital property scanning tools.
We present you with a Privacy Findings Report summarizing a gap analysis between your privacy practices and the TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Program Requirements along with the changes you need to make to your data privacy management practices and privacy policies to achieve certification. The TRUSTe Privacy Program Requirements are built upon the core principles of transparency, choice and accountability and they provide a comprehensive set of requirements based on applicable privacy regulations, industry self-regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.
We validate that your new privacy statement accurately reflects your privacy practices and is consistent with our Privacy Program Requirements.
Once we validate that you've implemented the changes outlined in the Privacy Findings Report, you get access to the TRUSTe Certified Privacy Seal. The seal is recognized globally as a high standard for privacy management and displayed on thousands of websites and apps. You can display the seal both on your privacy statement as well as in other prominent places like your website home page and site footer to demonstrate your commitment to privacy. The seal is hosted by TRUSTe and linked to a TRUSTe Validation Page to provide real-time verification that your website certification is current and valid.
Once certification is complete, you can request a customized letter of attestation that your company is a TRUSTe client that has undergone a review and alignment with TRUSTe's privacy program requirements. This attestation can be shared with clients and business partners as part of RFPs and other processes reviews to complement the TRUSTe Seal, providing a competitive distinction and selling point.
You also get access to our third-party dispute resolution service, which helps you efficiently manage privacy inquiries from customers. It also addresses the dispute handling requirements for regulatory programs like the US-EU Safe Harbor Framework.
TRUSTed Cloud Data Privacy Certification also provides you with access to ongoing privacy guidance as it relates to your TRUSTe certification, including new regulations, product plans, geographic expansion, and acquisitions. You'll get access to TRUSTe Privacy Solutions experts along with Educational Webinars, Seminars, White Papers, and Research Reports.

Power pitchers are sexy again. Three years into its revamped look -- the dramatic reduction of offense, thanks to the elimination of steroid-fueled muscle men lugging bats to home plate -- a dominating hurler is more important than ever in Major League Baseball. These days, teams will sacrifice anything to get the likes of a flamethrower like Neftali Feliz or Justin Verlander to stand on their mound. 2K Sports does a terrific job putting us in their cleats and making us feel supremely powerful this season, thanks to the best pitching system we've used in years. Unfortunately, the package that surrounds it is decidedly less savory than the engine underneath. Such is the tragedy of MLB 2K12.
First, the good news. The pitcher-batter matchups are more dramatic than ever thanks to new dynamics that work beautifully. Key at-bats --particularly later in the game -- take on new meaning; based upon how well (or poorly) your pitcher has fared against each hitter, his attributes for every pitch are adjusted. Tim Lincecum's fastball may work like magic against A-Rod in the 7th inning if he's struck him out twice with it earlier, but that same pitch is much less effective to Mark Teixeira if he cracked a double on it in the 4th. The level of strategy and execution is heightened, and the latter half of games resemble chess matches. It's engrossing stuff.
The focus on pitching makes sense, considering the state of the game today. We love the two-step mechanics -- and have for years -- which are based on specific stick movements that differ per pitch. It was a bit of a challenge to master them, but once they "clicked," we felt like kings on the mound. The satisfaction of nailing the timing of a high fastball just right is sweet, from the instant feedback of the pitching cursor to the sight of a hapless batter swinging and missing.
On the other side of the plate, hitting feels a bit tougher than in the past, but never cheap. Just like in the big leagues, your success will depend on working counts, waiting for your pitch, and even sacrificing an at-bat or two early in the game in order to give yourself an advantage later on. In our first few games, we swung early and often, paying for it with shutout losses. As we learned how to track the incoming pitches a bit better -- then backed that up with getting the timing right for normal and power swings -- we had more success.
It's a shame, then, that MLB 2K12 looks so unimpressive in motion. Terrible framerate issues often cause hiccups when the ball meets the bat as well as on plays in the infield. Even making catches in the outfield can feel like an adventure thanks to the clunky animations. None of these are game-breaking, but they make 2K12 suffer greatly in comparison to the silky-smooth competition. Even if it didn't have so many struggles in action, the ordinary-at-best visuals are uninspiring. The infield doesn't kick up dirt as runners chug the basepaths, shadows on player faces are pixilated, and the catcher's throws back to the pitcher seem faster than the pitches he's receiving.
Baseball is all about the details, and MLB 2K12 is all over the map. There were a couple of niceties we picked up; for example, a first baseman's uniform was filthy when he came up to bat right after making a diving play in the dirt to end the previous inning, while bunting was draped in the ballparks along with special postseason logos on the infield for the playoffs. On the other hand, when we hit a walk-off single to win a 14-inning playoff game, there was no on-field celebration; the players were shown ambling off the field as if it were an ordinary half-inning. We also had a bizarre in-game situation occur when a smash up the middle bounced off a pitcher then magically warped right to the second baseman.
The commentary, however, is mostly outstanding. MLB 2K12 is drenched in statistics, and the three-man booth does a good job calling the action based on what's happened and what the numbers say. Occasionally we'd hear Steve Phillips make a reference that didn't quite mesh – such as saying it was still early in the game when in fact we were in the 8th inning – but these were the exception rather than the rule. Inside Edge does more than provide the announcers a great basis to talk from as well; based on the plethora of information available to you, there's more than enough data to turn you into a Moneyball-esque on-field game manager as well as front office expert.
My Player mode has received a few updates this year, mostly around defining your role before your career begins. As seen in past games, it suffers from two problems. First, it's extremely menu-driven, which means tons of loading and clicking instead of enjoying games. Secondly, if you've spent much time in it last season, there's little appeal to repeating it again. To be fair, though, the different roles provide a nice variety and no two careers should play out exactly the same.
The early stages of online play have been decent, but we've experienced some slowdown when the ball is in motion that helps cause fielding issues. Because our timing was thrown off, we wound up committing lots of throwing errors, and so did our opponents. When there are runners on the basepaths, things slow down even more. None of this is game-breaking, but is definitely annoying. On PS3, online has seen even more issues. In addition to the aforementioned issues that also afflict the Xbox 360 version, we also had a game in which the commentary started echoing badly for some bizarre reason (which hasn't happened offline). As of week one, there are some issues that could use a patch.
We've been unable to play the all-new MLB Today mode, but we'll have in-depth reports on that (as well as more on My Player) in upcoming Box Score columns and podcasts once Opening Day comes and that mode takes on relevance.
Despite its many issues, MLB 2K12 packs a significant punch when it comes to the nuts-and-bolts of big league baseball. We're excited about taking a couple of teams through the season. Unfortunately, it's just too ordinary-looking and choppy-playing to appeal to a wider audience. For all its good points, a game of this stature should be more polished at this stage of the franchise's existence.
This game was reviewed on Xbox 360 as the lead platform. We also played through sections of the PS3 version to see if there were any distinct differences, and any technical distinguishments are noted above.

When Life Gives You Mulberries…Author: swampkitty05 // Category: Eating Local, Food Blogging Event, Recipes
You all remember when I bought those mulberries from the farmers market last week, right? Well, after explaining to Paul what they were and that yes, they were in fact edible, he said to me "you realize we have one of those in our backyard, right?" My ears perked up. Now, our backyard isn't all that huge, but in the four years that we've lived here, I can count on one hand the number of times I've wandered to that corner of the yard. Curious to see if it was in fact a mulberry bush, I took a look. It's growing in between the split of our tree (while I know that will probably be a problem in the future, for the moment, I'm not going to worry about it).
Upon closer inspection, and after taking a leaf inside to compare with pictures of mulberry bushes on the internet, we found out that yes, indeed – it is a mulberry bush! Yay!
The great thing about the bush is that the berries, once they start ripening, do so very quickly. I can pick all the ripe berries and then 2 days later, have just as many newly ripe berries. I've been yielding about 2 cups of berries each time I pick them.
With the first batch, I made a jar of what promises to be lovely mulberry vinegar (which I plan on posting about in much more detail (including the recipe) when it's done steeping in about 4 weeks). The next batch? Cobbler, of course. It is quite delicious – reminds me of a cross between blackberries and raspberries. Can I just say how thrilled I am to have something wild and edible growing where I can make use of it? You can't get any more local than that…
Mulberry Cobbler
recipe by Sarah Ganly
2 c. mulberries
1/4 – 1/2 c. sugar
6 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees . Next you will need to mix the berries with the sugar, and you can add some apple slices if you like. Sometimes I slice and chop one or two apples and throw them in for variety. After the fruit and sugar is thoroughly mixed melt the butter and pour it into an eight inch square glass dish.
Now mix all of the dry ingredients, and add the milk; remember to keep the berries separate! You can add some granola and/or oats to add some texture. You can also add some lemon zest to the batter in order to spice it up a bit. If you do not want to add these ingredients it will still be delicious, but you can always keep them in mind for latter.
A very important step in this recipe is to pour the batter into the dish. You do not want to mix the batter when it is in the dish because the butter is there first for a reason. Now that the batter is already in the pan you can add your mulberries. Sprinkle them all over the top of the batter.
This may seem like an upside down cobbler, but it is truly scrumptious, and is very easy to make. Bake this dish for about twenty minutes. You will know it is done when a knife comes out clean of batter when it is inserted in the middle of the cobbler.
I'm submitting this recipe as part of Andrea's Grow Your Own event, which showcases foods that you grow or forage yourself. Please stop by her site to participate, there's still plenty of time to do so this month!

I love the smell of mulberry bushes and the fruit is so tasty. You are very fortunate to have a bush in your yard! Your mulberry sounds great, can't wait to see the recipe for that, and the cobbler looks perfect. Thanks for sharing it with Grow Your Own!

Ha! I read this post yesterday right before I left work to pick up my kid at the babysitters, and then things got interesting…
She told me that the kids has this red staining on their hands and feet (running out of the pool with bare feet), and that there were these strange berries on the ground in her back yard. I immediately inspected said tree, and wouldn't you know- mulberries! She doesn't have any use for them, so guess who kindly offered to take them off her hands?
BTW- I love your site. I'm from (roughly) the dayton area, so it's good to read a food blog that isn't from one of the coasts. I'd love to see your recipe for mulberry vinegar- I don't quite know what I'm going to do with all of mine, except maybe adopt the Alton Brown blueberry pie technique and freeze a bunch of mulberry pie fillings.

Growing up, my brother and sister and I were always stained purple for the entirety of mulberry season. I remember my mother trying in vain to scrub my hands on Sabbath morning so that I'd be presentable for church.
I find them to be a pain to pick in any quantity, if you try to get them one by one. They aren't fully ripe until they look completely black, but that also makes their stems loose and the moment you touch them, they fall. It wasn't until I was grown that it finally sank in how to harvest them. If you just lay a plastic drop cloth on the ground beneath the tree, you can shake the branches and all the ripe berries fall onto your plastic sheet. The pinky purpley ones which aren't ready, hold tighter. You still have to sort out a few bugs and leaves, but you can harvest a large quantity with much less effort that way.
That recipe looks great. I can't wait to try it. Unfortunately every time it looks like my trees are ready to harvest, all the fruit seems to disappear. I wonder if it has any connection to the fact that all four of my kids have purple hands right now?

We have a huge mulberry tree in our front garden – leaves the size of dinner plates. I have yet to taste a berry, though…. the birds get them first! Not that I could reach them anyway….

I have never had mulberries before, they are not something that shows up in Canadian supermarkets. They look wonderful. Great work on the cobbler.

You are so lucky. We always had mulberry trees in our gardens growing up in Africa. We used to feed our silkworms on their leaves so that they would spin bright pink cocoons. We used to come in at dinner time, grubby kneed and purple chinned from our mulberry foraging. Your bush, given half a chance should grow into a fantastic tree, great for climbing and very generous with its fruit. Wish I was in your garden

The bush becomes a tree, and gets up to about 30-40 feet tall, although it takes a long time to do so.

Good to know. When I first moved here (about 6 yrs ago) I wonndered, what is that giant "berry-factory" hovering and raining berries all over my back yard. Birds, insects, rodents and my dog were feasting on them. I finally decided to taste one last year…pretty good. Now that I have two species of it growing around the house (dark red and light pink) and recently learned the name of this bountiful tree…I kinda like them & Glad they're not poisonous.:) Thanks for the recipes.

It took me about 3 years to learn that three large mature bushes I have in the yard were not ornamental figs, but mulberry bushes instead. Guess what I am doing next year. I am going to try my hand at mulberry wine. I've already done the cobbler and jam this year. Looking forward to next year.
