Sure, Los Angeles has the Oscars.
But next week, San Francisco will host an Oscar vying to win an Oscar.
We're referring to Michael B. Jordan (no, not that one), who played Oscar Grant, the young man shot by a police officer at BART in Fruitvale Station.
He and the film's Oakland-based director Ryan Coogler are descending on the city with dozens of other star actors and filmmakers for a red carpet event all our own, the San Francisco Film Society's Fall Celebration.
Designer/impresario Ken Fulk is the host, known for throwing outrageous parties where unexpected things happen (Dita Von Teese riding a mechanical bull, Stevie Nicks serenading with "Edge of Seventeen," and bare-chested men in top hats greeting his masquerade ball guests). So yeah. Get ready.
Schmooze with famous directors Spike Jonze, Alexander Payne, and Chris Columbus inside the brand-spanking new private club The Battery, designed by Fulk himself. You'l be among the first to see the Bebo team's new super-swank club with roof-deck
The view's pretty good from the top, isn't it?
San Francisco Film Society's Fall Celebration
Thursday, November 14
The Battery
717 Battery Street, Financial District
Tickets: Party $350; dinner and party $2,500. All access (includes press conference and
penthouse reception): $3,500
Nearby: Tosca Cafe; Wayfare Tavern; The Hidden Vine

The Galaxy S5 has been making the rounds since its global launch a week ago. It's already available at the major US carriers, and now it's trickling down to the smaller options out there. Today the device has come to MetroPCS, a prepaid service owned by T-Mobile, where it's available for $649 without an annual contract. The site shows the phone as currently available in-stores, but the online inventory should appear at some point.
The Moto G was already an affordable handset when the GSM version became available in the US for just $179.99 early last month. Then a Verizon version appeared in some Best Buy stores for $80 less. Now the carrier is officially launching the Moto G for the same low price, selling it both online and in its stores for just $99.99.
Lenovo, the company best known for making some pretty sweet laptops and violating the seventh commandment, has released the IdeaTab A2109 at Best Buy. This 9" slate packs a 1.2GHz Tegra 3 processor, a 1280x800 display, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. At $300, this tablet is just barely more expensive than the comparable 16GB Nexus 7. For your extra $50 you not only get a bigger screen, but a rear facing camera and HDMI output.
The wait is nearly over! Just a few days after AT&T announced the Galaxy S III would be available in stores soon, Verizon enters the fray with its own announcement. The much sought-after device will be available in Verizon stores starting July 10th. So, if you've been holding off on pre-ordering until you see it for yourself, your wait will be over in a week.
Both the 16GB and 32GB models will be available for $199 and $249 respectively.
The wait is nearly over for the Galaxy S III if you're on AT&T. The big blue ball has just announced that Samsung's newest flagship will be available for same-day purchases starting July 6th in all of its stores nationwide. The company isn't sharing specifics on whether that will include only the blue and white versions of the phone, or if we'll also see AT&T's exclusive red version of the device.

OK, so I examined a duplex outlet installed in a floor and discovered something interesting and dangerous. The outlet was not contained in an electrical box of any kind, but was installed in a hole dug into the wood. Also, the BX armored cable remained below the floor with the black and white wires fed through another hole drilled through the wood. Now this person installed a short jumper wire from the green ground screw to the neutral (silver) terminal of the outlet (I don't know why, but I assume that made the metal of the outlet casing and the metal cover live).
The outlet showed some damage due to arcing in the past and a portion of it appeared to have been blown off. Question: How much of a fire and shock hazard do you think this was? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, it sounds like it's totally illegal and dangerous, and you're lucky that no one has been injured. This neeeds to be de-energized and done properly done or removed completely. The bigger issue is: What other wiring in the house was done by this lunatic and what other dangers exist? |
The problems with that setup are 1. No box. Must be a floor rated box. 2. Illegal ground hookup. Very dangerous |
Question: "How much of a fire and shock hazard do you think this was?" Answer: Keep the marshmallows and wienies handy. |

The two greatest treats on a hot day are cold booze and a fudge ripple cone, so when Sweet Action Ice Cream featured beer-flavored creamy treats at a Denver festival, it got quite a bit of attention.
Sweet Action formulated six new scoopable concoctions out of Colorado beers. With flavors like 'Cherry Kriek,' 'Maple Pale Ale,' 'Smoked Porter Smores' and 'Double Chocolate Stout,' visitors at the Great American Beer Festival were treated to another delicious form of the refreshing beverage.

How can I perform a search in a top level assembly for any individual components and any components within in any subassemblies of that top level assembly that would not have any sort of solid features (extrution, revolve, solidify, ect.....) within them? Sometimes I create empty parts existing of cs0, dtm1,dtm2 and dtm3 only and assemble them by coords. I have the intention of creating solid features within them but sometimes I loose place and forget about the empty components. When these components are still within the assembly it causes problems with the Mesher I use for creating simulations so I need a way to find these empty components and remove them from the top level assembly before simulation. I am working within WildFire 4.0.
There might be several options
I am suggesting 2 of them
Check if these will help you or not
1. Using Model size
Size of a blank part is fixed(80 kb approx in wf5). Check as per your version
In your assembly
go to Find>Part>Size(Attribute)
In Criteria use
Absolute> is Less than > 90
Include all models
find now
This will search all parts having size less than 90kb
2.Using Last feature
Your blank parts should have a fixed last feature ; It might be cs0, dtm1,dtm2 or dtm3
It can not be extrude or any other feature
go to Find>Feature>Last Feat(History)
Find now
Now you need to check the parts having specific last feature cs0, dtm1,dtm2 or dtm3
Thank you for the suggestions. The second one seems to work the best for my situation.
Thank you...

Harvest 2012: Nearing the Finish Line
The photo above was our view this morning as we harvested Cabernet from the beautiful Oakville Ranch vineyard, 1400 feet above the valley floor. While the fun chaos of crush season is still in full swing around the winery, we're close to wrapping up harvest in the vineyards. Every day this week brings a new vineyard and a new adventure: Atlas Peak came in earlier this week, today was Oakville Ranch, tomorrow we'll harvest Morisoli Vineyard, and Sunday brings Old Toll Road and Spring Mountain. While we're still enjoying days in the 80's now, current forecasts call for a storm to move in on Monday. We'll get all the grapes in before the rains, and smiles are all around as we couldn't be happier with the vintage. Every single vineyard reached optimal ripeness and, true to predictions earlier in the summer, crop yields are very large. Flavors from the grapes are explosive, so everyone is anxious to try the 2012 vintage wines as soon as possible. Could this be Napa's benchmark vintage? Time will tell!

Harvest 2012 Update: Verasion
Posted by Celia
Verasion in the vineyards is well underway! Verasion is the process of grapes ripening and sugar levels rising and from this shot taken in the Morisoli Vineyard on Saturday, you can see that the cluster is almost completely colored up. The photo shows an example of what is a typical cluster for this year, large and healthy-looking. Note that even though the cluster is fairly large, there is still plenty of space between the berries for air movement and for filtered sunlight to get in which helps color development. According to Joel, it looks like this season is about two weeks ahead of last year at this point, and the weather forecast is for continued warm and sunny days. Stay tuned for more harvest updates here as we head towards Harvest 2012!

2012 Vintage: A Mid-Summer Update
Posted by Celia
There's lots of encouraging talk in the valley about how this year's vintage is shaping up. We caught Joel in the vineyards last week and asked him what he thought about the progress of Vintage 2012, and here's what he had to say:

2012 – A Blockbuster Vintage in the Making?
Posted by Celia
I know, I should have my wrist slapped for writing a title like that in June, with the entire summer growing season and the fall harvest still ahead of us. It's just that, after two consecutive vintages of unpredictable weather, everyone around Napa Valley is looking for a perfectly predictable season, something that we sometimes take for granted growing grapes here in California compared to, say, France.
With an assortment of odd weather phenomena during 2010 and 2011, from June rains to cool summers to early fall rains (all interspersed by periods of our typical beautiful warm weather) those vintages truly tested the mettle of winemakers here in the valley. Those with experience were successful when making the gut calls on when to pull in the grapes and when to let them hang to further ripening. We felt fortunate in 2010 and 2011 to have a winemaker with 27 consecutive harvests in Napa Valley under his belt, but let's just say Joel had a bit more hair in 2009.
If grape growers and winemakers are ready for a good harvest, it seems that the vines are in agreement. One look at the clusters on the vines today, and you can see something noticeably different from the years past: huge clusters point towards yields significantly greater than those of recent years. Having produced low yields for several successive vintages, the vines have extra energy stored and look like they want to use it.
So far, Mother Nature is cooperating for Vintage 2012. We started off with a dry winter, but thanks to several drenching rainstorms in March and April, the vines got a deep soak and reservoirs are full. The summer growing season is progressing as it should, with sunny skies and warm but not hot weather (a primary indicator of this year's normalcy is that Auction Napa Valley, held the first week of June, was warm and sunny, not wet and muddy like 2011).
Sometimes "typical" and "predictable" are welcome terms. Here's to 2012, and the hopes that it goes down in the books as one boring year. So far, so good.

And we have budbreak! It's been a wet spring, the vines are happy, and the new growing season in the vineyards has begun. This shot was taken between storms that brought hard rain, thunder and lightening. Very exciting weather for the Napa Valley.

I had this piece already sprayed with primer and a basecoat of ivory, so I sat down this morning and painted some roses on it.
I've been practicing trying to paint a more "fluffy" shabby chic rose than my normal one stroke roses. I'm fairly well pleased with these. And the lavender filler flowers were just done with a scruffy brush dipped in lavender and white and sort of "pounced" on--very easy and fun. Had the two spoons ready to paint also, so painted small roses on them. I've seen them with a hole drilled in them so they can be hung. Not sure what I will do with these--may do that or just put them in a clear glass vase for now. Luvs |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ewww-la-la! Beautiful Luvs. Love how the purple ones look so light and airy around your fluffy roses. That is a neat looking tray with the cutwork on it and the spoons are cool! Very pretty. |
Luvs, Very pretty and wonderful choice on colors. I am about to try my hand at roses again on my desk and chair I'm refinishing. I don't know what I'm doing for sure but think I'm going with purple roses on it. So happy you had time to paint a beautiful tray and spoons. Love the ribbon on your spoons also. This makes me want to get painting. Punk |
Luvs....awesome! Yours colors and strokes are fantastic! I just have to get out some info sheets and try flowers! The lavender "fillers" are so whispy and really frame the roses! Have never seen the spoons painted a solid color, looks great! Belle |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Aug 11, 09 at 0:46
Thanks gals, I keep trying my hand at doing roses. They are fun to do and I love roses. I really need to paint some other flowers like sunflowers and Iris which turn out really pretty too. Punk, I can't wait to see your desk and chair with the purple roses! Sounds so pretty. Belle, I love the step by step worksheets I often find in my painting magazines. They help me break it down into doable steps that way. Anj, would you believe this tray has been laying out in my shed for at least two or three years waiting for me to paint it? I bought several of them at the TS when I first left the bank--gosh, I guess that was four years ago! About time I get something painted on all of them isn't it? LOL Luvs |

I just purchased a potted peony on sale at my local garden center. Do I plant it now? If not when should I plant it? Also what do I need to do when I plant it? How much spacing should I give it? This is my first peony, so I am a bit clueless.
I am also curious....what do you do with peonies come fall? Do you cut them back? If so, how far? What do peonies typically look like in the fall? I am debating where I want to plant the peony, one spot is a very focal area on the corner of our flower bed....if peonies look "sad" looking in the fall I am thinking this may not be the spot. Any suggestions on where (landscaping wise) to plant a peony? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Now is the time to plant peonies! Put compost and some bone meal into the hole you are planting it in. Be sure not to plant the eyes deeper than 2" below the ground (I use a ruler). Water well. The foliage on the peony varieties I have stay very nice during the summer and fall. Last year was the first year I had mildew and cut the stems back in late summer to just above ground level. Your peony should be planted in full sun. I'm not good at the spacing issue...so I'll leave that to someone else to address. What cultivar did you get?? Enjoy! |
- Posted by caroldiane 5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 27, 06 at 12:13
Ditto for what Judye says....the 2" depth is a must. Three feet apart is the usual spacing between other peonies and other plants. Do prepare for their emerging in the spring by providing them with some form of support....stakes (don't skewer the roots) or a wire cone and let the plant grow up into the support. Otherwise the large weight of the bloom will certainly bring them down. |

Feathered Star
it is actually a queen size, square quilt with wide blue borders. Due to
1. the difficulty of photographing a quilt this size, and
2. my lack of skill with Photoshop,
the photo has been cropped after I had a nasty run-in with the Magnetic Magic Wand. For these reasons, the quilt looks wonky and the borders look as if they are different widths. Sigh. My technological deficiencies will always let me down. Trust me - the quilt is square and looks much better in real life.
Anyway, here's the story.
I fell in love with Feathered Star blocks many moons ago after buying Marsha McCloskey's first book about Feathered Stars (1987). I always thought they would be too hard for me, but decided to try to make a block (yes, a single block) by hand piecing. I chose the Radiant Star block from that book. It is a 15-inch block. I loved my first block so much, I thought I'd make some more. As you can see, I hand pieced nine blocks.
Then came a quandry. Most of the blocks I saw in quilts were laid end to end and I felt that the star effect was lost with that layout. I pondered for years about how to set my blocks until I finally decided to sash the blocks. I then had to work out the mathematics for the sashing pieces and that took me a while. Then I pieced the sashing and the blocks.
I pieced the white and then the blue borders but they were awfully wavy, so I unpicked them all. Remember, this was all hand pieced. I re-measured, re-cut and re-stitched.
I toyed with the idea of hand quilting it and even basted the quilt. Then I decided there was no way I would ever finish quilting it, so I unbasted it and took it to a local professional quilter, Joanne Knott, who quilted it brilliantly for me. You can't see the quilting in this photo, but it is excellent. Finally I put the binding on (in 2005). It still doesn't have a label.
I am still in love with Feathered Stars and want to make some more (maybe not in a quilt this large!) And yes, I will hand piece again.

Here is my latest project. I really like prim and this project has a crow. This was in a June 1997 Decorative Woodcrafts magazine that was given to me by a friend. It was designed by Jeri Francis and Kim Meyer. As usual, my picture taking skills need improving, but you get the idea. Oh, and I noticed that I forgot to do the speckling so I'll have to go back and do it tonight. ~Anj |
Follow-Up Postings:
Anj, that is darling. Great job on painting down to the little sprigs of grass. Do you have a special place you plan on displaying it? Amazing how we can think Spring with all the snow still coming. I started a bunny but can't seem to want to paint on it. Now seeing your little birdies makes me think I should try to get it finished before Easter. I done my nails in a hurry so I could come here and get motivated apparently. haha Punk |
Oh, can you see the grass Punk? ha It didn't show up very good in the picture. I have it on one of those like plate holder stands in my living room. It's nice to welcome a little spring into the decor especially when it's still snowing outside. ha As long as you don't look out at it you can try to forget it. =) Hope you get motivated to do your bunny. I'm looking for a new spring project to get done before Easter sneaks up on me. |

Anj, that's a cute pattern and perfect to display on an easel--I love the little bird in the back of the wagon doing his own thing by looking the other way! Do you know who Kim Klassen is? Everytime I see one of her designs, I think of you because she does allot of the cute primitve designs. Punk, does the fact that you are doing your nails mean that you've started to feel a little better. Sure hope so. Luvs |
Anj, your grass came through just fine for me to see and I thought it was great. I'm not into much primitive painting but if you keep showing yours I may have to change my way of thinking. LOL I like it, not sure why I don't paint more as I have several books that are prim. I used to have a client that I painted alot of the primitive for and since I don't sell any more I just got out of it. Luvs, can't say that I feel better but my nails were looking pretty bad so had to take the time to redo. Their acrylic, so two weeks is about all I can do without a fill. I do enjoy only having to do them every two weeks and DD will be here tonight so she can airbrush them for me when I'm done with my client. Hope you two keep painting so I can come here and enjoy. Punk |
Anj........forget the speckling it looks just great the way it is! I love the crow's looooooong legs..how fun! You did a really great work on the whole piece. What a fun way to brighten a room! Like Punk, I'm not into primitives all that much, but this might just change my mind. Thanks for sharing! Belle |
I'm glad ya'll enjoyed it. I like it. Had several good comments from family who have noticed it. Luvs~ I was just looking at Kim Klassens website this week. I was looking at her saltbox houses for painting that redo I'm working on. Thinking of ordering both of her books since I've never seen them in stores here. May try to find them on ebay or somewhere else cheaper. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 17:25
Darn Anj, now you've done it! I didn't even know she had a website, so I went to take a peek. Love her teapot and teacup design from one of her books. I don't NEED to buy more books! I've got so many designs already on hand that I want to paint. Now I've got the same "disease" my little GD always says she has--it's called the "I want that!" disease! LOL Luvs |
- Posted by colorcrazy (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 19:40
Hi, Anj This is darling. I love the vivid colors. I can see why this design is "converting" people; it is captivating. Using a plate stand is a good idea. PS - Sorry for the late comments. It seems some of you are on the west coast or in that time zone. |
That's ok colorcrazy....we don't have a time limit on compliments. =D Glad you liked it. You called it right though, there are a couple of us that are "out west" as they say. Luvs, sorry!! Thought you already knew about the site. All we need is more projects to add to our mile long lists, right?? ha But you know certain things that aren't appealing to you now may strike a cord the next time you look thru your patterns. You never know what's gonna pop out at you. So one more book can never hurt! hehe! I'm the devil, you know that right? ha |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Wed, Apr 1, 09 at 1:48
Anj, on the Holiday forum we call people like you "enablers"--always tempting us to buy more, get more, do more, etc. LOL And, yes, there are so many things I notice and like in looking at some of my old books now that I didn't even pay attention to when they were new! Our tastes do evolve and change. And boy are you ever right about those "mile long lists"! I just finished painting my little leaf and acorn tray, just need to seal it and I think I will use the Old English polish over it, then seal it again. This one was a little more scuffed up than the last one I painted. It should be ready for it's "debut" by tomorrow afternoon or evening hopefully. Looking forward to seeing your next project. Is it Friday yet?????? Just teasing. Luvs |

Re: Building a Two-Slab Roubo Workbench (Part 1)
I have been considering building a new bench as well and am unsure of what I want to do with the top. I keep going back and forth between a single slab or two with a open trench in the middle, or to use 2" wide strips. I have a local source here on the west coast (Bobs Big Boards in Longview WA) who mills urban lumber to order. He has some nice 6"x30"x12' maple slabs that I have been eyeballing but can't decide if I want him to mill them down a little or a lot. How stable do yo think such large planks will be over time?
Re: Jonesing for a hand tool fix? We've got you covered.
After 25 years of "machining wood" I have started to make the change over to handtool woodworking. It would have been nice over the years to have know which handtools I should have purchased and what features to have been looking for. I think this will be a great place to feature a specific type tool such as which handsaw, plane, or whatever and why. Then explain how to use and maintain it.
I look forward to the articles!

Re: Ideas for Woodworking's Own Reality TV
I like the idea of the "Modern Masters" approach. It would be nice to see people who are really good at creating art from wood. Having them show which tools they use and how they use them (advertising dollars from manufactures), techniques they have learned over time, and even why they select the projects they do. You could mix in what markets they sell to as well as who the customers are that buy their work. You could feature various types of workers as well. Maybe have a turning master one week, custom cabinet maker the next, as well as fine furnature makers.
Anything you put on air, everyone from this site will watch, its attracting others to your site and to the craft that will be the challange.
Thanks for asking!

Course Description:
A basic concern of professionals is spiritual well being and its contribution to health. Integrative practitioners recognize the mind-body-spirit connection and believe that illness is directly related to attitudes, beliefs and emotions.

We explore alternative methods of approaching stress, and discuss techniques for incorporating these ideas into every day practice. Connecting with personal creativity by utilizing techniques such as guided meditation, representational art, visioning for future outcomes, and ceremony are spiritual practices which can reduce physical and mental stress. Creation of art projects can serve to manifest feelings into form to balance mind and spirit in the physical world.

Who Says Political Elections Can't Be Fun?
David Axelrod has promised to shave his well known mustache if any one of three specified states do not go for Obama on Tuesday. I love this idea! What a fun way to bring some levity to the serious business of presidential elections. We need more of this and less heated rhetoric during election season.
Three states in the wager are:
November 4 – Michigan is showing a tie between Romney and Obama.
November 4: Pennsylvania – Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has the candidates tied at 47%
November 3: Minnesota – It is a toss up.
It's anyone's game at this point, and we will know in two short days if Axelrod will be parting with his long-time mustache.

Questions answered by county administrator
By DAWNE LEIKER
By DAWNE LEIKER
Questions raised by Ellis County resident Martha McClelland at Monday's Ellis County Commission public hearing, although not answered by commissioners during the hearing, have elicited a response from County Administrator Greg Sund.
Timing of the hearing to obtain public comment regarding Ellis County's disposal of county property at 22nd and Vine and purchase of the Commerce Bank building, was among McClelland's questions. She asked commissioners why the hearing was scheduled after the building had come down.
In response, Sund said the public hearing was a title requirement placed on the county by Field Abstract prior to closing. An agreement to purchase the Commerce Bank was signed by commissioners in September 2011, followed by an intent to purchase on June 13.
"Leading up to that time, the commission discussed the issue in executive session on request of the bank, while the possible purchase was being negotiated," Sund's written reply said. "Once the letter of intent was signed, the plan to purchase the Commerce Bank property was a very open process with ample opportunity for the public to comment."
Sund's answers to McClelland's other questions, which include, but are not limited to: cost estimates for purchasing and remodeling the Commerce Bank property, costs of demolition of the county property at 22nd and Vine Street, and whether a permit was obtained to demolish the county building, are available online at HDNews.net in PDF format.

What it is:
Plagiarism is a serious problem throughout the academic community, not just an issue for college students. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, to plagiarize is "to use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own." or "to appropriate for use as one's own passages or ideas from (another)" (1340. 4th Ed. 2000. NY: Houghton Mifflin). Plagiarism is theft of another's intellectual property, for which you can be legally charged. Plagiarism also creates an environment of mistrust that can have a chilling effect on the exchange of ideas and research.
Who Plagiarizes?
Some of the folks who have fallen into the plagiarism pit include: students, researchers, professors, and webmasters. There are some interesting similarities between the experiences of students and professors that may encourage plagiarism.
For Example:
Both students and faculty sometimes feel they are pressured to produce intellectual work without adequate time to do their best.
Both also compete for limited spacesfaculty for permanent positions, students for placement in programs of their choice. Pressure to produce and compete can increase the temptation to plagiarize.
It's important to recognize these pressures exist, but they never justify taking another's work and claiming it as your own. [This tutorial was created and designed by Karen Starr, 2002. firstname.lastname@example.com Maintained by Trudi Jacobson. firstname.lastname@example.com]

Centennial students set sail for contest
Mustang Elementary School may have won two Made by Milk national championships, but Centennial Elementary students are not about to let that ship sail without them.
In fact, a ship is exactly what Centennial's Kristen Polson helped students create. The first-year teacher conferred with Mustang Elementary's Kent Hathaway, who was assigned as her mentor, and the two devised the project for Centennial's fourth-grade art club.
More than 30 students take part in the club, which means they give up recess once a week to work on special art projects. Students collected milk cartons for more than a month and fashioned RMS Titanic with 2,761 of them, Polson said.
"I'm so proud of them," Polson said. "They did a great job and they were super enthusiastic and passionate about it every day. Even on the most boring jobs, like stacking 500 cartons together, they were doing it and were amazing at it."
Winners for the national contest will be announced Jan. 6.

October 24, 2009 is a date that is sure to go down in history. The International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) will join hundreds from the skate community to honor and induct skateboarding icons; Bruce Logan, Tony Alva, Tony Hawk and Danny Way; into the Skateboard Hall of Fame at the official inaugural celebration.
"Skateboarding has grown up, and not in a bad way - we can look back and be proud of the history of our sport," said John Bernards, executive director of IASC. "Taking the opportunity to acknowledge and honor the individuals who have so greatly influenced and shaped the industry allows us to look forward to the future of skateboarding without ever forgetting our roots and everything it took to get where we are today each and every shenanigan, triumph and challenge."
The Vans Skatepark at the Block in Orange, CA, will host the historical, invite-only event. In addition to a live musical performance, guests will enjoy cocktails and appetizers and have the opportunity to bid on a large selection of invaluable memorabilia at both a silent and live auction. Proceeds from ticket sales and auction items will benefit the Go Skateboarding Foundation. The non-profit organization provides positive educational experiences, career-minded programming, and scholarships for skateboarders. The foundation also donates to various skateboard-related charities, including: The Tony Hawk Foundation, Ray Underhill, the Johnny Romano Foundation, and the Patrick Kerr Foundation.

On May 1, more than 200 community members from Southeast Tennessee gathered at Lake Forest Middle School to explore adult learning opportunities in conjunction with Cleveland State Community College , Bradley County School District's GEAR UP Tennessee Program, and CMT's Empowering Education, the network's initiative which encourages viewers to pursue post-secondary education.
This initiative will provide opportunities for parents of GEAR UP participants to earn a college degree before their child graduates from high school. This will enhance the probability for their child's success in college. The program is called GIG, which stands for GEAR UP Interest Group.
"The goal of CMT 'Empowering Education' is to help our viewers navigate the busy and sometimes overwhelming educational landscape," said Lucia Folk, vice president of public affairs at CMT.
"One of the best ways to do that is by supporting the great work that is being done on a local level. We are thrilled to partner with Cleveland State Community College and Bradley County School District's GEAR UP Tennessee Program as they launch GIG, an innovative collaboration which will support parents and their children in achieving a college degree."
"I am proud that Cleveland State is a part of this exciting partnership," stated Dr. Bill Seymour, Cleveland State president. "Providing educational opportunities for adult students is a significant part of our mission, and we are thrilled that CMT is onboard. While there are many initiatives, such as Tennessee Promise, that focus heavily on traditional-aged students, we want to be very intentional about expanding opportunities for those who are nontraditional ages. This strengthens workforce development and supports the Governor's Drive to 55."
The evening began with Cleveland State providing participants with a dinner catered by G'Daddy's BBQ of Cleveland and an informational fair where representatives from Cleveland State's Enrollment Services, Financial Aid and OneSource were on hand to assist students, as well as community agencies such as Adult High School of Bradley/Polk Counties, GEAR UP Tennessee/Bradley County, The Caring Place, Community Action Network, Habitat For Humanity and the Refuge.
Participants were given all the tools, assistance and knowledge to become a college student at Cleveland State Community College this fall. Following the informational fair, community members were treated to a concert by artists Judah and the Lion. Also, during that time, CSCC shared success stories of students who returned to school after many years with the goal of inspiring those facing similar challenges to consider furthering their education.
GIG participants are required to :
● Complete a GIG application and interview
● Complete a CSCC application
● Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
● Attend at least two workshops a year
● Meet monthly with the GIG Coordinator
● Provide two hours of service at his/her child's school or to the GEAR UP program
In turn, participants will receive:
● Tools to help overcome the barriers
● Personal attention by the GIG coordinator
● Assistance completing the CSCC application
● Assistance completing the FAFSA
● A specific Financial Aid Counselor assigned to provide assistance
● Up to $1000 in scholarship dollars each academic year
● Special recognition as a GIG participant
● A certificate or degree (if proper credit hour and grade requirements are met)
"I am excited to have the opportunity to serve as the GIG coordinator in its first year," stated Tracey Wright, director of special programs and community relations. "The GIG program allows Cleveland State to target adult learners, who are difficult to reach. We have carefully put together a program with the support needed to help the GIG participants successfully complete a certificate or degree program before their son or daughter graduates from high school."
GIG applications are due by May 15. Completed applications may be turned in at Lake Forest Middle School, Bradley Central High School or GOAL Academy. For more information on the GIG program or the upcoming kickoff event, contact Wright at 423-473-2341 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I love Archway Molasses Cookies. Does anyone have a tried and true molasses cookie recipe? I bought a jar of molasses last week to use in a recipe and it only called for a quarter cup, so I have lots of molasses to use up. I'd love to make some cookies!
TIA Dee1 |

Here's the recipe I have used for years and years..It's from Betty Crocker I think.... One of the things that I love about it, other than the great flavor and texture is that it can be made quickly, because there is no butter to soften. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Molasses Chews

I like this one. Don't know if it's similar to Archway or not but they taste good. It calls for a dab of chocolate icing on the top of each but I don't bother: SOFT MOLASSES DROP COOKIES (about 3 dozen) 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup molasses 1 egg 1 3/4 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cider vinegar 2 TBL water 1/4 cup buttermilk 1 cup raisins (definitely optional) Chocolate frosting Preheat oven to 350°. Beat the shortening & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in the molasses, egg & 3 TBL of the flour. |
Thanks Terri and Ginger. I think these both sound great. I think I'll try them both at one time or another. Thank you again. Dee |
Here's mine, but I think they are very similar to Terry's. 2/3 cup cooking oil Stir together above ingredients, then add: 2 cups sifter flour Make small balls. Roll in sugar. Bake 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet at 350 for 15 minutes. |
dee1: Check out the Christmas Cookies and Cookies thread here on the RE........there are some that call for molasses.......and lots of other good ones also. |
My grandmother had a recipe, from one of her friends (this would be from the 1940's). Here it is right off the recipe card from her old box of recipes. They knew how to make cookies, all they needed were the ingredients. My grandmother baked in an old black stove, so temperature is just a guess. Inga's soft molasses cookies ˝ cup melted shortening Bake in hot oven (375° for about 10 – 12 minutes) Here's a recipe from Cooks Illustrated for Molasses Spice Cookies. This might be what you are looking for. |
Wow, thanks for all the responses. Roselin, I will check out the Cookie and Christmas Cookies threads here. Thanks so much. Momj47 I couldn't open the link for Molasses Spice Cookies. For some reason my computer doesn't read pdf files. I have no clue. Thanks for the recipe and I loved the picture of your grandmother's stove! |
Mom made these very often when we were kids--and to half of the dough she'd add raisins for my father. they were always coated with pink icing. ginger cream cookies beat together: chill the dough and drop onto a greased sheet (they will spread out a fair amount when cooking). bake at 400 for 8 minutes. |
I just got this from Land 'o Lakes.......have made their gingrebread cookies before as well as a lot of their other recipes and have never been disappointed. HALLOWEEN MOLASSES CUT-OUTS These cut-out cookies will charm your Halloween guests. Preparation time: 1 hrs Baking time: 8 min Cookie Ingredients: Frosting Ingredients: Combine butter, sugar, molasses, egg and vinegar in large bowl.
