- Created 6/22/10 by CakeInfatuation
Posted by CakeInfatuation Have tried several chocolate buttercream recipes and haven't been sold on any of them... Maybe because I'm not a big fan of buttercream in general... anyway, had to make a last minute cake with chocolate buttercream filling and icing... so I just started throwing things in the mixer. It turned out beautifully and my family is now eating the icing by the spoonful. Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter and you have an amazing chocolate peanut butter icing or filling... If using as a filling, chop up some peanut butter cups and sprinkle on top of the... read more

Travel with Andy and Irene to Kangaroo Island, where they spotted sea lions, saw the Remarkable Rocks, hit white beaches and savoured the island's food and wine.
Day 1 – Adelaide The Making Tracks musicians arrived in Adelaide, South Australia's elegant capital in the late afternoon. They wandered through Elder Park before a Thai dinner along trendy Gouger St.
Day 2 – Kangaroo Island – Seal Bay Irene and Andy took an early flight to Kingscote on Kangaroo Island, where local musician, surfer and environmentalist Ron Swan was their driver and guide. He shared some facts about his beloved Kangaroo Island over breakfast at Duck Lagoon, where ducks and swans glide past the massive red gums. The next stop was Seal Bay Conservation Park, where Irene and Andy watched the resident colony of sea lions swim, play and rest on the beach. The pair then collaborated in the island's flagship luxury lodge, against the backdrop of the dramatic Southern Ocean. They dined and spent the night in a wilderness retreat next to Flinders Chase National Park.
Day 3 – Kangaroo Island – Remarkable Rocks Irene and Andy drew inspiration from the island's landscapes, staring with the Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park. Andy and Irene enjoyed a picnic lunch against these precariously balanced granite boulders. Forged over 500 million years, the Remarkable Rocks are a local landmark as well as a tourist drawcard. Next stop was Kingscote, where Andy and Irene sampled local cool-climate wine and soaked up spectacular coastal views at a winery. Dinner was at their hotel in nearby Nepean Bay.
Day 4 – Kangaroo Island beaches and wildlife The musicians made tracks along Kangaroo Island's coastline, beginning with tranquil Snellings Beach in the north. Often deserted with soft, white sand, Snellings Beach was the perfect place for the pair to relax and contemplate before a seafood barbeque. In the afternoon Andy and Irene visited the acclaimed Pardana Wildlife Park, where they shared their musical piece with mobs of curious kangaroos. Back in Kingscote, the duo spent their final evening reflecting on Kangaroo Island's unique experiences and landscapes.
Follow Irene and Andy to the outback town of Alice Springs and the Red Centre icons of Uluru and Kings Canyon.
Day 1 – Alice Springs Andy and Irene flew into Alice Springs, an outback town rich in ancient Aboriginal culture, outdoor adventure and pioneer history. Alice sits just south of Australia's geographic centre, where the Aboriginal Arrernte people have lived for more than 20,000 years. Irene and Andy learnt more about their rich cultural traditions in the many contemporary Aboriginal art galleries lining Todd Mall. In the evening, the pair enjoyed an outback feast in the local steak house.
Day 2 & 3 – Kings Canyon Irene and Andy woke early for the drive to Kings Canyon, the craggy centrepiece of Watarrka National Park. The park is also the traditional home of the Luritja Aboriginal people and an important conservation area. The canyon's towering red rock walls shelter lush palms, ferns and cycads in otherwise inhospitable desert. Irene and Andy took in the spectacular scenery on a guided walk to the canyon's rim and a scenic flight over its incredible sandstone walls and palm-filled crevices.
Day 4 & 5- Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Irene and Andy were awe-struck by their first sight of Uluru and the domes of Kata Tjuta, which rise abruptly out of the red desert, dominating the surrounding landscape. These icons hold deep spiritual significance for the traditional owners, the Anangu Aboriginal people. Andy and Irene viewed Anangu rock art and learnt about Dreamtime ancestors on walks in and around Uluru and the rounded, russet domes Kata Tjuta. The pair also saw Uluru and Kata Tjuta change colours in the setting sun from a silver service dinner in the middle of the desert.

Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change
The Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change (BRAC) was organized by Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. on August 25, 2006, to provide a forum where government, industry, environment, and community representatives1 could identify proactive measures that Utah might take to mitigate the impacts of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Governor Huntsman provided the following charge to the Council:
- Consider science, economics, and policy around climate change in a forum where we as a State - industry, environment, community - could have productive dialogue;
- Understand and recognize what we are trying to leave for the next generation; and
- Bring back information and policy recommendations for review and consideration.
This report provides a summary of the work the BRAC and Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) have conducted to date. The BRAC has completed a number of significant tasks as charged by the Governor. In June 2007, Governor Huntsman requested that the BRAC also evaluate options for a Renewable Energy Initiative.

Olivia Newton-John's appeal seems to be timeless. With a career spanning more than five decades she is still a vibrant, creative individual adored by fans around the globe.
With more than 100 million albums sold, Olivia's successes include four Grammy Awards (including "Record of the Year" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" in 1974 for "I Honestly Love You" and the first ever "Video of the Year" Award for "Physical"), numerous Country Music, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, ten #1 hits including "Physical," which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles.
In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in "Grease" catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. Her other feature film credits include "Funny Things Happen Down Under" (1965), "Toomorrow" (1970), "Xanadu" (1980), "Two Of A Kind" (1983), "It's My Party" (1996), "Sordid Lives" (2000), "Score: A Hockey Musical" (2010), and "A Few Best Men" (2011).
As a breast cancer "thriver", Olivia has become increasingly well-known and respected for talking openly about her journey with breast cancer and for promoting public awareness of the importance of early detection. After 10 years of fundraising over $200 million the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Center (ONJCWC) opened in June 2012, and provides a comprehensive range of services and facilities for cancer treatment, education, training and research including Olivia's dream of a wellness center to help patients heal - mind, body and spirit.
Olivia continues to give back to the community generously and has been acknowledged many times by charitable and environmental organizations for her ongoing efforts, among them: the American Red Cross, the Environmental Media Association, the Women's Guild of Cedar's Sinai Medical Center, and the Rainforest Alliance and Concept Cure.
Also in 2010, Olivia was honored with the prestigious Order of Australia from Australia's Governor General. She also released her second book, "LivWise: Easy Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Life" (Murdoch Books) in Australia in 2011. In "LivWise," Olivia explains her belief in the importance of eating a healthy diet in order to maintain wellness and balance. All of Olivia's proceeds from the cookbook sales benefit the Wellness Programs at the ONJCWC.
In April 2014, Olivia began her residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas with "Summer Nights," a musical journey through her career in movies and music. To coincide with the show, she released "Hotel Sessions," an EP collection of songs recorded in hotel rooms in Melbourne over a ten-year period with her nephew Brett Goldsmith.
With her current and ongoing projects and philanthropic endeavors, Olivia's worldwide popularity is as strong as ever!
Beccy Cole is the real deal; a working single mother, a successful career woman, an explosive and very funny live performer and is as honest in the lyrics of her songs as she is about her private life. This honesty led to Beccy's revelation on a ratings winning episode of ABC-TV's "Australian Story" that she is gay…after "keeping it under her hat" for 15 years. Beccy received an unprecedented and overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from fans, old and new.
In 2014, Beccy Cole will take the audience on a journey through the trials and triumphs of a woman living the dreams of a little girl. Beccy extends her generosity from the truthful and sometimes very funny lyrics, to the stories behind the songs. "Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can not only be myself, but reveal the true meaning of some of the songs…and you just have to laugh at yourself sometimes!"
In double decades, the sassy Country Queen has shelved 9 Golden Guitars, 3 Gold records, 2 Entertainer of The Year awards, 7 songwriting awards and has peaked at Number One on the country music radio chart a whopping 14 times. Beccy has dedicated her life to touring her own country with an occasional break for entertaining Aussie troops in danger zones worldwide.

As a solo artist, Barbara's first solo CD "Signs of Life" was named a Washington Post "Top Ten of the Year." Three other solo releases, "I Surrender," "Variations on a Happy Ending" and "Alive in Berkeley," followed to critical acclaim. In 2011, she was named the first ever "Artist in Residence" for the famed West Coast jazz club, Yoshi's. She is currently producing a piano concert series in Berkeley featuring her favorite pianists (such as Olivia recording artist Mary Watkins) in an intimate setting.
Few entertainers can command a stage like the indefatigable, Sweet Baby J'ai. She is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, arranger and actress who has toured the world with her distinctive sound. Although J'ai is known for her energetic stage presence and powerful vocals, some critics describe her as a "jazz singer", a "soul singer", others as a "blues singer" but all agree that this versatile singer-songwriter is a "storyteller". She can't be contained by one genre of music. Talented both as a vocalist and musician, she takes unconventional instruments, the washboard and spoons, and claims them as her own special sound. As one critic pointed out, "This ain't no backyard hoe down ... she will have you swooning before the concert is over."
When your mom gives you such a memorable name as "Sweet Baby," odds are you're gonna end up in the entertainment industry. Sweet Baby J'ai continued the family business after sneaking into Kansas City jazz clubs as a kid. With an uncle who worked as a bassist for Billie Holiday and a cousin who played guitar with Dizzy Gillespie, J'ai was constantly surrounded by the music that would become her career. She has been featured many times on Olivia Cruises, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Playboy Jazz Fest, Casablanca Music Fest, Tokyo, Jarkata and a host of festivals, concert and club venues throughout the world. She has shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample, Jill Scott, Etta James, Melissa Etheridge and many more; her velvety vocals gracing jazz, soul, and R&B songs. You can check out a dose of her latest cd, Introducing J'ai Michel on this trip designed to soothe your savage beast or feed it!
Here's a sampling of what critics are saying: "Her voice is part cream, party honey and all soul." -New York Times "Sweet Baby J'ai will no doubt be considered a legend in her own time ... She is by any critic's opinion, the real deal!" - LN Magazine "She proved it on all of us in the 1920's lesbian love story, Prove It On Me ... a flawless performance and spine tingling soulful vocalist ..." - Tolucan Times "Show-stopper ... a sensational performer" - Durango Herald "Extraordinary ... a stunning performer." - Jazz Now "Swinging ... powerful ... and haunting." - Los Angeles Times
Daft. Demented. #SNORT. Picture Tina Fey meets Bette Midler with Joan Jett guitar chops... and you've got Seattle's Lisa Koch. An irreverent singer/comedian, out lesbian and sober chick, Koch ("Coke") is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and tunes. She has recorded four solo CDs, is one-half of quirky sketch comedy duo, Dos Fallopia, and has shared the stage with the likes of Janis Ian, Kate Clinton, The Indigo Girls, and Steve Martin. She composed the Off-Broadway musical "27, Rue de Fleurus", has been seen on LOGO and Olivia Cruises, and actually had one of her songs sampled by Jay-Z. Lisa brings to Olivia her guitar, her wacky songs, and her musings on being a woman… from middle age to mammograms to singing vulvas.
Roxanna is a beloved member of the Olivia family. Her debut with Olivia was on an Alaska cruise in 1992. Since then, she's joined us several times a year!

Her one woman show, Living Large In a Shrinking America – sold out all three shows in Provincetown during women's week; critics deemed it "hilariously funny and perfectly timed."

LibreOffice 4.3.5 / 4.4.0 RC2
Add it to your Download Basket!
Add it to your Watch List!
What's new in LibreOffice 4.4.0 RC2:
- Writer:
- Master Document Templates:
- Writer has long had Master Documents. A master document lets you manage large documents, such as a book with many chapters. The master document can be seen as a container for individual LibreOffice Writer files. LibreOffice 4.4 introduces Master Document Templates. These Master Document Templates can be added to the Template Manager and creating a new document based on a Master Document Template creates a Master Document with the same initial content as the Template it is based upon.
an update
- GPL (GNU General Public License)
- The Document Foundation
- www.libreoffice.org
- ROOT \ Office \ Office Suites
A drop-in replacement for OpenOffice.org
LibreOffice's story starts not so long ago, as a continuation of the work already implemented in the OpenOffice.org software. The initial release of LibreOffice was made available back in 2011. Since then, the project got a lot of attention from the open source community, many developers joined the team, and in only a couple of years it became the number one office suite for almost, if not all Linux distributions.
It's compatible with major office suites
The project is compatible with various other major office suite applications, including OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office, it is available on a variety of platforms, and it's comprised of six main components: Writer, Calc, Impress, Base, Math, and Draw.
LibreOffice's main components
LibreOffice Writer is the main component, and probably the most used one. It is also the most important one from the entire office suite, as many people install LibreOffice to create high quality word documents. It provides users with plenty of options for formatting text, inserting tables, drawings and images.
LibreOffice Calc is there for those of you who work with spreadsheet documents, and LibreOffice Math can be used to easily insert equations and formulas in word, spreadsheet, drawing, and presentation documents.
If you work a lot with presentations and slideshows, we strongly recommend to use the Impress component of LibreOffice. Moreover, LibreOffice Draw allows you to generate drawings that include charts, formulas or tables.
The last component, and the most advanced one, is LibreOffice Base, which can be used to design and maintain databases for storing all sorts of data, from survey information to financial reports.
Bottom line
Thanks to its CMIS standard, LibreOffice allows users to easily collaborate with online document storage and CMS (Content Management System) systems. Being one of the fastest growing open source office suite in the world, LibreOffice is now adopted by many Linux operating systems and it is our number one choice for ordinary desktop office tasks.
LibreOffice was reviewed by Marius Nestor, last updated on January 12th, 2015

Breakfast Topic: Which role is the hardest? {WoW}
Jun 1st 2009 12:31PM I have been a holy pally for awhile now. Luckily I have a great raiding guild to show me the ropes. I belive i have become good at it. But one thing I have noticed is that healing is the hardest role. I relation to bad tanks they can be healed through most of the time. Bad DPS most can be healed through. But the hardest thing to do is be paired in a pug raid with a healer that is new/idoit. Yes admitantly I was that new healer and somwhat still am for some end game raids. If you are paired with that healer then you have to make sure he is watching his group and not pulling aggro and as a holy pally I usally heal the MT. So not only do I have to Heal the tank by far the hardest job in a raid I have to babysit the other healer. Also the ego trip of some healers discust me. There are some pepole you have to let die for the greater good but your job is to keep the raid/Group alive. Nomatter how good you think you are you are not good until you learn to work with other healers and tanks. Plain and simple, Period.

I'm always very cautious about the movies that are released in this time of year. Studios typically choose late January and early February to unload their steaming piles of movie dung. I mean there is a movie out right now starring Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah! With that in mind I was also somewhat concerned about seeing The Grey. My first impression of this film after canada goose Freestyle Vest viewing the trailer was Liam Neeson out in the winter wild being chased by wolves. I was right, but there is so much more to The Grey than just snow, wolves, and mountains
I'm not really into wolf movies, with men making friends with wolves, wolves talking, or any other wolf type flick. I don't know why, it's just a thing I have. In the case of The Grey though, we're not just watching a movie about men being chased by wolves, we're talking death, and in a very real and serious manner here.
Synopsis for The Grey – In Alaska, an oil drilling team struggle to survive after a plane crash strands them in the wild.canada goose Expedition Parka Hunting the humans are a pack of wolves who see them as intruders. – IMDB.com
canada goose Heli-Arctic Parka
The synopsis that IMDB gives is a very simple explanation of what this movie is about. There is so much going on in this film that I was intrigued early on and my attention was kept until the very end for a number of reasons. First off, the script was written exceptionally well. In the very beginning of the film we meet the main character Ottway played by Liam Neeson. Ottway is a somewhat tortured soul who works in Alaska as a hired hunter for an oil company. It is his job to watch the other oil workers and make sure that wolves don't kill them as they do their job. One of the first few scenes is watching Ottway shoot one of these wolfs and then crouching down with his hand on it's chest to feel it take it's last breath. The scene is somewhat uncomfortable if you're an animal lover like me, but necessary to set the tone for the rest of the film.
From that point forward we learn more about Ottway through a series of flashbacks that are all relatively the same. The flashback entails him lying in bed with a woman under the covers and she's whispering to him "Don't be afraid." The first flashback appears you have to wonder who she is, and why is he so torn over her. Slowly and in bits and pieces we learn that she is a lost love. He carry's a letter he has written to her around with him and reads it repeatedly Ottway is obviously torn over the fact that he can't be with her and decides he is going to take his own life by putting a rifle in his mouth out behind the refinery where he works. Just before he pulls the trigger the wolves begin to howl, and that is where this movie really begins to take off.
Ottway and a group of guys who also work at the refinery board a plane to return home. These men are described as some of the dangerous outcasts of society who can really only have a place working in a desolate environment like the Alaskan wilderness. The interaction of the men on the plane soon shows us that we're dealing with a bunch of rough and tumble group of guys. But as tough as they may be, none of them can prepare themselves for the plane crash they soon suffer. In minutes they are in the snow, some dead, some injured, all forced to survive in the blizzard that's canada goose Expedition Parka now upon them. There are seven survivors, and we get to know each of them one by one as they die.
As night falls the group of men quickly realize that they are being stalked and hunted by a pack of wolves as they hear the howls and growls coming from the darkness. Soon enough they are being picked off and killed in a calculating fashion. As they decide to move away from the wreckage we are left with five men who will ultimately face their most difficult challenges of their lives.
The Grey is a film that does a few things and does them well. First off it's directed pretty darn well by Joe Carnahan (The A-Team). The scenes where Ottway has his flashbacks and then the transition into reality is pretty cool. I didn't know if I was watching the flashback or present day, but ultimately we find out which one it is, and it's done so in a way that I wasn't confused There were also some special effects that helped to do this and they only made the scenes that much better. The other thing The Grey does well is its use of symbolism. The Grey isn't so much a film about a group of guys being hunted by wolves, but rather a film about mortality and how everyman deals with his own demons when his time comes. It's no accident that this movie takes place in the snow, blizzards, darkness, or the winter of the lives of these men. The wolves are not only used as a device to move the plot along to advance the characters, but they are symbolic of death. Each time the group of men hears the howling of the animals or is approached by them, one of them soon falls victim to their attack.
There are so many layers to this film thematically, symbolically, and visually, that it would be hard for me to cover it all in a short review for this website. It would also be hard for me to sit here are write anything negative about this film. Sure, it's a little dark on the underlying topics that it covers, but on the surface this film is action-oriented and fully entertaining. There is not one dull moment, or a moment that leaves you wanting more. Every single scene in this film is entertaining in one-way or the other up until the very end. Not only was the film written and directed well, but the acting was also fantastic. Sure Liam was awesome like he usually is but Dermot Mulroney was great too as well as the other actors in the film.
For being released in the dead of Hollywood winter, a time when the movie-going landscape is filled with films that are dead on arrival, The Grey stands out as a fierce and fully entertaining piece of art. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates film, action, and drama.

With so many samples passing through my front door over the year, we quite often end up with some surprises; be it a company sending it without letting us know, or it taking a bit longer to arrive than we expected and we forget about it. For whatever reason, we ended up with a couple of kits of PC3-12800 memory from OCZ.
What happened is that it arrived around the same time as a lot of new high performance PC3-16000 and PC3-17600 kits. To no fault of OCZ's, it did fall slightly to the back of the pack.
In wondering what we could do with the two kits and how we could work them both into a single article, I thought it was time to see how the old Tri-Chan vs. Dual-Chan debate is going on with our X58 GIGABYTE board and P55 ASRock one.
While we understand that the CPUs are different along with some of the features, we'll be trying to keep the two systems as close to each other as possible. We'll get into the finer details under our test system area, but for now let's have a look at the two kits from OCZ.

I didn't obsess about religion, but every now and again a question would pop up, and I hunted for answers in the only place I thought might have some. Picture it: the public library in the pre-Internet period of the 1980s and early 1990s. Most of what I'd read about Islam exuded a textbook tone. Lots of reference, little risk. Then, on February 14, 1989, Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini declared a fatwa against Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses. This "unfunny valentine," as Rushdie would later call the fatwa, demanded of Westerners more than a collective tiptoe around theocracy. Many people in the West did take a stand against the death warrant and I'd be disingenuous to deny that. But the commentaries I tracked down at the public library seemed satisfied with merely explaining Muslim outrage; they steered away from asking if the Koran is as virgin, as divine, as the effigy-burners would have us believe. What happened to the religiously respectful yet intellecutally messy West I'd fallen in love with? Was multiculturalism losing its mind?
In a crucial sense, I think so. I say this because my trips to the library coincided with the era of Edward Said. He was the Arab-American intellectual who, in 1979, used the word Orientalism to describe the West's supposed tendency to colonize Muslims by demonizing them as exotic freaks of the East. A compelling theory, but doesn't it speak volumes that the "imperialist" West published, distributed, and promoted Edward Said's book?
Within a decade, Said was all the rage among young academics-turned-activists in North America and Europe. Their worship of him effectively stifled other ideas about Islam. By the time Salman Rushdie came out with The Satanic Verses, Said's acolytes stood ready to denounce as "Orientalist" (read: racist) just about anything that affronted mainstream Muslims. In my experience, the public library didn't escape this chill.
I began to regain faith, in both the West and Islam, after the mid-1990s. Praise Allah for the Internet. With the Web making self-censorship irrelevant -- someone else is bound to say what you won't -- it became the place where intellectual risk-takers finally exhaled. They reasserted what makes the West a fierce if imperfect incubator of ideas: its love of discovery, including discovery of its own biases. And as the critics probed Islam, I picked up on some jaw-dropping aspects of my religion.

Questia is advertising on Yahoo's directory page for library links: http://dir.yahoo.com/reference/libraries/
The RSS feeds don't seem to have been updated since Wednesday. The last new story was the one about West Palm Library. I tried the articles*, index*, and lisnewscom* feeds.
This just in: lisnews.rss seems to be up-to-date.
Hi, all.
I've got a Web page where I track news articles on a certain subject. I've set up an RSS feed to go with it. All I really need for each item is a headline, link, paper and date (which can go in description), and the date I posted it (pubdate). It looks like RSS 2.0 will do everything I need. But I notice some of the cool kids use RSS 1.0 (which is actually more complicated that 2.0, but that's another whole megilla).
Any ideas? Post a comment here or send me a comment via www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/comment.html.
The RSS feeds that include descriptions (descriptions.rss and others) seem to be breaking whenever there are ampersands in the descriptions. Can something be done to XML-encode ampersands?
In case Blake (or someone else equally powerful) is reading this:
Sometimes I see articles showing up in my RSS reader that don't show up on the Web site until hours later. Right now, I'm getting the story "What Librarians Really Mean." Also, I notice it's dated Friday, Aug. 22, at 2:00 a.m., a day and a half from now.
Is this a bug or a feature? Could it be a gift for "RSS bigots"? ;-)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Mastiff
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Female
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Missy is a very sweet girl who loves her people. She had a rough start to life so it does take a day or two to gain her trust, but once she trusts you she is a total velcro dog! Missy knows her basic command and is good in the house with free roam. She loves children of all age and to cuddle for hours on end. Missy craves attention and love. She does make friends with other dogs but can get a little jealous so she will need either an owner who can set boundaries for her or to be the only dog and get all the attention from her human companions. Her favorite thing is her daily walks and to get out and about an explore! We do not think Missy will be good with small animals, she prefers to chase, so she is looking for a home with no cats. *Thank you to Kim Kravitz of Kim Kravitz Photography (Harker Heights, TX) for the adorable photos! To see even more photos of Missy, check out Kim's blog: http://www.kimkravitzphotography.com/blog/2013/01/15/save-the-giants-harker-heights-photographer/
Other Pets at Save The Giants
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Fort Collins Mastiff dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Mastiff for sale in Fort Collins, or seeking a Mastiff dog from a breeder in Fort Collins.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Collins already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Collins breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Mastiff breeders who help with Mastiff rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Collins paves the way for another one to be saved.

What wool would you recommend for slippers for a person who does not like 'scratchy' wool? Is ragg wool scratchy? |

I just finished a pr of slippers that I made out of Knitpicks Merino yarn. I am going to felt them and hope the wool stays as soft as it is right now. The only problem I have had with this yarn is that it has a nasty habit of pilling. Good luck |
Thanks Liza. I will try it and good luck with your felting. |
- Posted by liza070831 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 3, 06 at 12:24
Hi josal I just finished felting my slippers and they turned out fine. I used a front loader washmachine and put several empty plastic pill bottles in the bag and washed it in a regular load weith hot/cold water. I used the free pattern for felted slippers at knitpicks.com. They turned out a little big for me so I will send them to my giant daughter. Hasve fun. Ellie |

Has anyone had any experience making anything with goat horn peppers? I'm not a big fan of pickling and I'm getting a bummer crop this season. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
From what I've read, they are similar to cayennes, so use them for anything you would use cayennes for(salsa, stir fries, etc). Any you can't use right away you can toss into the freezer whole and use them throughout the winter as needed. I string cayennes up and let them dry until crisp, then grind them in a coffee grinder for seasoning powder. |
- Posted by redtailforester 6 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 23, 10 at 15:11
These guys seem to have thicker walls than cayennes, so I'm a bit hesitant to try drying them. I'll have to keep researching. Thanks for the reply. |

Which brings me to my next point, would anyone recommend air drying goat horn peppers? |
- Posted by Michael Ognibene 44483(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Aug 13, 11 at 9:07
We dry red goat horn peppers and then flash fry them for about 3 seconds in oil.They come out like potato chips. This a traditional dish from the Italian region of Basillicata called cruschi. |

No.never been to there...
Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone that has gone to The Food&Wine festival this year, has gone into the Wonders of Life Pavillion aka. "The Festival Center". And if you did then share your opinions about it and, if you have any, show a few pictures for the people that can't get down to Disney World to see Wonders of Life. I hope that all wasn't too confusing, I just want to hear about the pavillion so bad. haha.
No.never been to there...
In winter,if you never owned even one pair of elephant paws ,it's really a pity.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. -- Confucius
I took lots of shots of WOL during it's last year in operation, a few years ago. Haven't gone back since to see anything else in there, and this past trip I didn't get to Epcot early enough in the day to be able to do any touring. Arrived at 9pm, and it just started raining.
I miss Wonder's of Life...
I hope we never lose sight of one thing,that it was all started by a mouse.
I think I miss the BGM most from there, more so than the rides. Then again, I've always been a Ray Lynch fan.
Yesterland has a few articles about the erasing of the pavilion, as Warner Weiss (the author and "owner of Yesterland") visits the festival every year.
I never got to see the pavilion but it's sad to watch something slip until it disappears.

It breaks my heart to go to epcot and have a vacant Wonders of Life pavilion! We sure had fun there back in 1994. Will they do anything with it now?
I have pictures taken a few months ago of the WOL pavilion (inside and out) on another thread.
The Body Wars sign was all painted over with just a flat white paint. You can no longer see the name of the ride or the inside body mural. The queue line is still there. The little show areas where they showcased The Making of Me and a few other stuff are still there, but were showing garden presentations, the name likewise gone from the building. Cranium Command was in a similar situation and a lot of the interactive stuff like the bikes are completely gone.

Buying a dishwasher will free you from the chore of washing-up. Once you have your new appliance installed and up and running you can kiss goodbye to your messy kitchen, as pots which once piled high on your worktops will be sitting in your dishwasher being scrubbed 'til they shine.
Dishwasher buying guide
Things to decide: Where will it go and how many pots?
Back to topBefore deciding on your choice of machine you need to know where it's going to sit and how much space you have to play with. Depending on your requirements you can choose from the following options - full-size, slimline or table-top.
Full size: A full-size dishwasher takes up the most room and generally measures around 60cm wide. These are perfect for large families or people who often entertain. They accommodate the following per wash: 12 dinner plates, 12 small plates, 12 bowls, 12 cups and saucers, 12 knives, forks, tablespoons and teaspoons.
Slim-line: People with a less space and fewer pots to wash may want to opt for a slim-line model. Although the same height as a full-size dishwasher, they are narrower (measuring 45cm) – great for slotting into that tight space between the fridge and the washing machine. And you don't lose that much space as on average they can fit nine place settings in per wash.
Table-top: People living alone in a property where space really is an issue are well-suited to the table-top dishwasher. These are far smaller than a traditional washer, and look completely different too. A major plus point is mobility: These can be moved to sit pretty much wherever you want but are most often placed on top of a work surface – hence the name. One of these will measure around 50cm wide and cover four place settings.
Integrate me: An integrated dishwasher is a good option for the style-conscious among us who don't want the look of their lovely kitchen spoiled by an unsightly white dishwasher. An integrated machine will be built into your existing fitted kitchen – disappearing behind your matching units when not in use to maintain a sleek and seamless look. You can also choose a semi-integrated machine – which hides everything but the controls behind your units.
Freestanding: If you're likely to be moving at anytime in the future, your best option is a free-standing model. Although this won't look as smart as an integrated machine, you will be able to unplug it and take it with you when you move. But even if you have no intention to up-sticks, having the freedom to shift your appliances around the kitchen or even into the utility room is a major plus for many people.
What's the programme?: Most dishwashers offer at least three programmes alongside a rinse only cycle but many high-end machines give more options. The all-purpose standard cycle washes dishes at 65c – great for getting off grime and grease. The eco cycle is good to the environment – using less energy but taking a bit longer to get the job done.
Further settings: Some machines will feature a baby cycle, which works to get rid of harmful bacteria from spoons and bowls used to feed your little ones. Much like its washing machine equivalent, the half-load programme blasts your pots clean with lesser water than is used on a full run for those times when you're eating alone. Also, run a pre-soak cycle to shift those stubborn stains that just don't want to budge from that lasagne dish.
Other features
Back to topTimer Delay: This allows users to capitalise on cheaper energy tariffs by setting the dishwasher to start at off-peak times – which often kick-in when most people are tucked up in bed.
Fuzzy Logic (yes, it's back): Many high-end models use fuzzy logic to measure the load of your wash and adjust the temperature and water consumption to suit – saving energy and money.
Dishwashing and the environment
Back to topLike tumble dryers, dishwashers are graded A+ to G on their energy efficiency – the best machines will be marked A+. If the environment is important to and you like the sounds of an A-rated machine, then look for one with an Energy Saving Recommended mark on it. Although you pay a bit more for one of these, the extra cash will give you green credentials with the family and save you money on bills in the long run.
Safety first – what can't I put in?
Back to topAlthough you may never want to wash a pot again, it's important to know that not all items are dishwasher safe. So unless the labelling states otherwise, don't put any of the following in your washer -crystal, patterned china, silver or gold plated china and cast iron pans.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Apple Day is an annual celebration, held in October, of apples and orchards. It is celebrated mainly in the United Kingdom.
Apple Day was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has been celebrated in each subsequent year by people organizing hundreds of local events. Common Ground describe the day as a way of celebrating and demonstrating that variety and richness matter to a locality and that it is possible to effect change in your place. Common Ground has used the apple as a symbol of the physical, cultural and genetic diversity we should not let slip away. In linking particular apples with their place of origin, they hope that orchards will be recognized and conserved for their contribution to local distinctiveness, including the rich diversity of wild life they support.
Apple Day events can be large or small, from apple games in a garden to large village fairs with cookery demonstrations, games, apple identification, juice and cider, gardening advice, and of course many hundreds of apple varieties.
More recently Apple Day has evolved into a weekend event, usually taking place on the Saturday and Sunday closest to Oct. 30th although a number of venues now simply use the term Apple Day for their own events which can take place anywhere in the second half of October.
The first Apple Day was on October 30, 1990 in Covent Garden, London.
Tring, Hertfordshire: events throughout October including Tring's Own Apple Fayre at Jeacock's Orchard. Visit www.tringapplefayre.com for full list of events and more details.
Cromford, near Matlock, Derbyshire are notorious apple promoters.
Whittington, near Lichfield in Staffordshire, the home of the John Downie crab apple, holds an annual apple day fair on the third Saturday in October, with tastings, juicing, games and apple produce. See www.wfeg.org.uk for more information.
