text: HISTORY OF RICHLAND TOWNSHIP Richland Township was organized on January 8, 1862, by authority given by the Saginaw County Board of Supervisors. The first township election was held April 7, 1862, in the school house of District Number 5 (Cone School). The name "Richland" was given to the township by Lemuel Cone, one of the earliest settlers in the area. There are many stories relating to how Richland was named but none of them have definite proof as to their validity. It is assumed that the early settlers first came to call the present center of Richland Township, Hemlock, because of the vast number of Eastern Hemlock trees which covered the area. Many found Richland Township a good location to prosper in the lumbering industry. When the forests were spent, they established Richland as an agricultural area. The first settlers in Richland Township are believed to be Philo and Arminda Thomas. In April of 1889, the first township hall was constructed on South Elm Street which is still being used today as a Senior Center. In May of 1976, the Richland Township Municipal Building was dedicated housing the township offices and the Mary C. Rauchholz Memorial Library. In September of 2002, construction was started on a new Richland Township Administration Building located at 1180 North Hemlock Road. On January 17, 2003, the administration building was complete and occupied. The building was dedicated May 30, 2003. The Rauchholz Memorial Library renovated and are currently utilizing the entire former Administration/Library building at 1140 North Hemlock Road. |

Urban Decay Midnight Emergency Kit - only £22.50 delivered @ HQ Hair
Spotted this and thought i would share, as i personally would love to find this in my stocking come christmas morning! It is such an ideal gift for the ladies, as it is what every woman needs, due to the makeup being within a purse/wallet style bag, it can easily be popped into our handbags, and is soo much easier than having various make up in random pockets, or if like my handbag, they somehow always end up at the bottom of my bag, could be due to the fact my bag is like mary poppins's bag, however having them within one storage type purse is much better! So another great gift for the ladies this christmas. Next cheapest is over at Debenhams for £28....x
Urban Decay Midnight Emergency Kit
When the mood strikes, saddle up with midnight emergency for instant
Bareback sultriness.
Based on our best-selling, cult favorite Midnight Cowboy franchise, this lifesaving (okay, looksaving) kit contains a 4-pan eyeshadow palette, a travel-sized eyeshadow brush and a full-sized Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Midnight Cowboy!
Achieve luminous, magnetic eyes with a few sweeps of the brush – Midnight Cowboy (our best-seller!), Midnight 15 (it's new!) and Midnight Rodeo (you loved it as a cream shadow) are each a unique take on champagne, while AC/DC takes purple to new depths.
Swathed in champagne pleather, it also features a golden zipper that zips all the way around the palette so your shadows won't fall out!
If you're always out the door and your nights are always full, this collection is for you a swipe of shadow, some lush shine for your lips and you're set for whatever comes your way.

Genome Organization and Function
Group Leader: Dr Suzana Hadjur
Despite the vast amount of information that the sequencing of our genome has brought, our nucleus is still a mysterious place. The mammalian genome is estimated to contain 22,000 genes which reside on 46 chromosomes. In order to contain our genome within nuclear space, DNA molecules must undergo many levels of organization resulting in discrete nuclear 'environments'. Moreover, this organization must be dynamic and responsive as cells go about the regular business of producing proteins, responding to their environment and dividing. How this complex organization is orchestrated is an important question in genome biology.

All cells contain the same DNA content, however the activity of particular genes changes during development leading to specialized cells and tissues. Understanding how gene activity is controlled lies at the heart of any exploration of development. Growing evidence indicates that the spatial organization of the genome, ie. the three-dimensional configuration and localization of genes within the nucleus, plays an important role in the systems that control gene activity.
We are interested in understanding the fundamental principles behind genome organization in space and time, the proteins involved in establishing and maintaining this organization and how it changes during cellular development and disease. We use cellular biology and high-resolution molecular approaches to gain insight into how the architectural organisation of the nucleus and regulation of gene activity are functionally linked in mammalian cells.
Protein-DNA interactions are the basis for most levels of chromatin organization and many proteins which have structural functions act by binding to specific genomic regions. We focus our current studies on the role of Cohesin proteins. Cohesin proteins are integral components of chromosome structure and are essential for ensuring daughter chromatids are paired immediately after replication and prior to separation at mitosis. In addition to this, it is increasingly clear that cohesin proteins participate in multiple mechanisms necessary for proper cellular behaviour which include interphase genome organization, control of gene expression and development.
The DNA binding protein CTCF has long been recognized as playing a central role in the organization of chromatin, regulating the ability of DNA elements involved in gene expression to communicate. Together with supporting work from other groups, our
observations linked CTCF with cohesins and provided an explanation for how a protein complex that mediates sister chromatin cohesion is involved in regulating gene expression. This now leads to new questions about how cohesin-based chromatin topology
influences gene activity.
Insight into how cohesin proteins work will lead to a better understanding of many aspects of chromosome biology as well as a deeper knowledge of developmental genetic diseases such as Roberts and Cornelia de Lange syndromes (caused by mutations in cohesin subunits) and cancer, where gene deregulation and anueploidy play a critical role.
Fig 1. CTCF binding to cell-specific cohesin sites is directed by DNA methylation.
Shared and cell-specific cohesin sites (top panel) were assessed by ChIP for CTCF binding in B3 (dark bars) and VL3 (light bars) cells (middle panel). Methylation of CpG dinucleotides was analyzed by bisulphite sequencing of B3 and VL3 DNA (bottom panel). Methylated CpG dinucleotides are indicated by filled circles and unmethylated CpG dinucleotides by open circles. Arrows mark the position of predicted
CTCF-binding sites.
Fig 2. Cohesins are required for long-range interactions at IFNG.
a) 3C analysis using a fragment containing the IFNG gene as a bait in Th1 cells (red lines) or Th1 cells treated with siRNA oligos to Rad21 (blue lines). Evidence for loss of Rad21 protein upon siRNA treatment (representative W.blot panels to the right of graph). b) ChIP analysis in Th1 cells (red bars) after Rad21 RNAi treatment (blue bars) reveals loss of Rad21 protein bound to chromatin.
Fig 3. Cohesin-dependant chromatin loops throughout the cell cycle.
G1, G2 and M nuclei are depicted as having 5 chromosomes for simplicity (blue, orange, grey, red and purple lines). Chromosome territories (CT) are depicted in G1 and G2 nuclei where a degree of intermingling is shown between CTs (loops extending from CT globules). The nucleolus has been omitted for simplicity. G2 nuclei are swollen in size and grey shadows represent replicated and cohesed chromosomes. Fully condensed and aligned chromosomes at the metaphase plate are shown in M nucleus. NPC, nuclear pore complexes; LAD, lamin-associated chromatin domains; E, enhancer element; red or orange ring, cohesin; shown only as a single green circle for ease, CTCF; grey circle, mediator or other transcription factors. a) Allele-specific loops. H19 and Igf2 are reciprocally imprinted with maternal expression of H19 and paternal expression of Igf2. Loops on the maternal allele restrict access of the Igf2 promoter to enhancers downstream of H19. b) Insulator loops partition chromatin into independently regulated domains (yellow genes and white genes). Such loops have been shown to exist at the β-globin locus and the apolipoprotein cluster. c) Interactions between a gene promoter and a distal enhancer element, either mediated by CTCF/cohesin (IFNG) or by Mediator/cohesin (Nanog). d) Multiple loops resembling a rosette structure function to gather replication origins (depicted in black), possibly tethered to a nuclear matrix. e) In G2, cohesin mediates chromatin interactions necessary for both sister chromatid cohesion (red rings) of replicated chromosomes (depicted in two shades of blue) and gene regulation (orange rings). f) Early in mitosis, cohesin dissociates from chromosome arms, while centromeric cohesin is protected and remains stable.

That Tarantino Interview: 'This is a commercial for the movie—make no mistake.'
Before I watched it, I assumed the interviewer in the clip below just asked Quentin Tarantino the wrong question. Instead of "Does movie violence lead to real violence?" he should have asked, "How has movie violence affected you?" I.e., Why do you make these kinds of movies? What is it about spaghetti westerns that appeal and why? I assumed the interviewer was just ham-handed.
Instead, the interviewer, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, is the furthest thing from ham-handed. He does in fact ask the question I thought he should ask, and is polite and articulate in doing so. It's Tarantino who's ham-handed. He comes off as a major asshole here. He comes off as pompous and privileged in promoting "Django Unchained."
Here it is:
In the beginning he says the pompous:
I'm responsible for people talking about slavery in a way they have not in 30 years. ... There is a dialogue going on about slavery that has not been happening at all. It's a subject people are afraid to talk about. And now because of this movie, people aren't afraid to talk about it.
I'm thinking: What dialogue are people having about slavery? They're having a dialogue about you; and it's the same fucking dialogue. Tarantino wants to be a black man. No, Tarantino hates black men. The N-word: Why say it so often? Why this gratuitous violence against black men? In other words, the criticism leveled at him during "Inglourious Basterds"—that QT turned the victims (Jews) into victimizers, and victimizers (Nazis) into victims, because he never shows the Jews as victims—here becomes its opposite. Keli Goff on HuffPo is the worst in this regard. She also complains about the lack of a strong female character. This after 15 years of Jackie Brown, the Bride, Shoshanna Dreyfus. The only ones who come off worse than QT in discussing his films is everyone else.
Then Guru-Murthy asks Tarantino about the relationship between movie violence and real violence and QT joins the crowd:
I refuse your question. I'm not your slave and you're not my master. You can't make me dance to your tune. I'm not a monkey.
No, you're a privileged asshole. Because the next thing you say, rather snidely, is this:
Because I'm here to sell my movie. This is a commercial for the movie—make no mistake.
So the dialogue about slavery the U.S. is having because of you? That was PR? Of course it was.
I could go on. Almost everything people think is wrong about Tarantino's movies (the N-word, racism) isn't. But almost everything people think is right about Tarantino's movies (how cool they are) isn't. In the end, he's not worth this much time. We should stop dancing to his tune.
"This is a commercial for the movie—make no mistake."

Who's Online:
really great to read this again, i'm glad you're back. very interesting chapter and great detail again. still love the relationships between elaura and the others. poor marroc, i hope his boots recover.
thanks for writing and keep up the good work
Author's Response: Sometimes I wonder who Elaura ISN't going to end up vomiting on. I'm still busy, but at least I've stilled myself enough to hear the voices from Middle Earth again. I'll do my best to post more often in the future. Thanks for sticking with me and reviewing.
AH! NO! Not a cliffhanger!! EVIL!! Not fair! (pouts) Now I'm going to hyperventilate until the next chapter is out! XP
Author's Response: Once in a while I've just got to do it. Life has been a bit rough lately, but I think it's going to be okay now. Too much has been going on in my head for the denizens of Middle Earth to tell me their stories, but I'm listening again. Hope you like the next chapter. Thanks for the review.
I haven't reviewed in a while, so here I am! XD I wonder how the "dance" will be... hehehe. I love sticking my nose where it doesn't belong! (no matter how many times I get smacked, lol!) Aw! Merry's doing a great job! he should get a cookie! lol! I hope you update soon!
Again, my friend and I have changed the date for our trip. *sigh* We decided that we want to save up a bit more money and we would rather go when its a little warmer (plus, my friend wants to go for her birthday in April), so we decided to leavfe on the last day of March. I'm getting frustrated with her, but I always seem to have enough patience to put up with her... until i get home. lol.
great chapter and i'm glad you are back after the break. i love all the little details about general life that you put in even mixed in with all the bigger story plots. i cannot imagine maglor being shocked by a romance novel but maybe being imprisoned for so long lol. thanks for writing and keep up the brilliant work, off to read the others now.
Three in one day again! Yay Widget's back! XD A very interedting twist, I wonder what you will dish out next! More fun I hope, I miss the mudpies... lol!
This will satisfy me for a while (not sure about the others) so you don't need to worry about rushing to update unless you get bored or inspired. I hope you had a good Christmas and that you enjoy yourself on New Years!
Author's Response: LOL! Well, I'm busy with a new mission so I've been slacking a little when it comes to answering reviews and posting. My body and brain are tired, but the characters are still with me, whispering in my ear. I'm not finished by a long shot, but I'm having to pace myself a bit. Hope you enjoy the next three. Thanks for the review!
another great chapter. i feel sorry for tavor and his mother but they are most likely better off without the father. will we find out who's behind it all or is that fro later?
the bit about vampires made me laugh, i admit i am one of those, i have a thing for dracula which my parents dont like but hey, the uruks with wings is not a nice thought though.
thak s for writing you seem to have put of effort and work into theses chapters and they are wonderful. go widget super messenger lol keep up the great work x
Author's Response: Thanks! I can't wait for Widget and his friends to get back. I guess the reality of vampires is never as nice as our fantasies. The spy-ring issue will undoubtedly continue unanswered for a while. Thanks for the review!
great chapter as always, started off lighthearted and now some mystery. liked the little quote from the genie and the jack sparrow mention.
thanks for writing off to read the other two x
Author's Response: Oh, have I ever been busy! Sorry it's been so long. I'm in a new class and I type at a computer all day, so I don't feel much like doing it when I get home. The characters are getting insistent, though! Hope you enjoy the three I just posted. I love Captain Jack, too. Thanks for the review!
YAY! Mud pies!!! XD I want to join! Laurie, can I play too? heehee! I bet you had fun writting this! It would have been even more funny if Yavanna, Aulë, and Námo were sent into the mud too!
Author's Response: It was a lot of fun. My mother said the same thing about the Valar. I'm glad you liked it. Hope you had a merry Christmas! Happy New Year, too! Enjoy the next chapters and thanks for the review!
what a great chapter, real fun to read. deffinatly right to have before xmas lol.
legolas, aragorn, thranduil and mud how more right can you get hehe, unless you added the twins Am i right in thinking its the end of june in this chapter coz i get confised with the dates?
thanks for writing and keep up the wonderful work.
have a great christmas and god bless
Author's Response: Sorry I didn't get it posted before Christmas. I meant to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but I got into a writing frenzy and it's taken a day or two to sort it all out. Hope you like the next THREE chapters! Thanks for the review!
rnYes it is nearing the end of June. Aragorn will be going off with Gandalf to find the sapling of the White Tree this coming week.
that was really good, the dead body coming animate and scaring the traitors very cool. i think i would run a mile aswell if i saw that. i read that out to my sister and she said you could almost convert her to reading fanfic which is high praise.
have you heard the news, peter jackson is too produce the two hobbit films which i was hoping for, because he did such a good job of the three lotr ones. what do you think of this?
better go, one more project to hand in blah ecology.
merry christmas if you dont update before then
thanks for writing :)
Author's Response: Thank you. TWO Hobbit films? Amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing that. With my nod to Halloween in the last chapter, I followed it up with a mention of Christmas. Of course, now I have to figure out how to explain Christmas to the Middle Earth crowd. Also, The Hobbit (animated version) gets a mention; I think you probably put that in my head somehow. I'm going to try and get one more chapter in before Christmas. Thanks for the feedback!
wow a really good chapter and the image of thranduil and maglor cooking dinner tickled me, probably because i have to cook for many this christmas and i imagined them doing that.
another chapter to read so off i go, thanks for writing.
Author's Response: Just wait, it gets better. Ever want to see an Elf play? How about mud wrestling? Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the next chapter.
Mwahahaha! Elaura has now been dubbbed the new grim reaper! lol! just kidding, my sister would stab me in my sleep if I took away her position. (haha)
Author's Response: LOL! I hope you're joking. Everyone gets back to the basics in the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for the review!
great chapter, dinethor may be able to speak soon wooo, i cant wait to read when he speaks to his lady love that would be lovely. he has a scary mother, i liked her, poor elaura was quite worried for a moment there.
legolas not being able to sleep aww i want to hug him lol, with all the elves sleeping around i'm sure he will be better. getting help from maglor i wish i could when i cant't sleep.
thanks for writing update again soon
Author's Response: Yes, it's quite comforting having them all in my head. They keep the Balrogs at bay, even at work. Dinenthor is going to sound like Mickey Mouse on helium for a while. Thanks for the review!
Yay! I hope Dinenthor will be able to talk soon! Aw! Poor Legolas! I hope his paranoia clears up so he can sleep better!
When will Arwen get there! I'm about to explode! lol! just kidding!
Update soon!
Author's Response: Arwen will arrive in time . . . patience. Everytime I try to skip forward a few days, something comes up. Hope you enjoy these next two chapters. Thanks for the feedback!
sad, and happy chapter all in one.its nice that they all honoured boromir and denethor as most people think of them as bad people even though they did a lot of good in their lives. i'm glad maglor is back in this, he seems to understand elaura and legolas better than most, i bet he is fun to write?
thanks alot for writing and update soon please
Author's Response: Interesting that you should mention that. It comes up again in the next chapter. I wonder where everyone else is? I hope noone was caught in that awful ice storm! Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the next chapter!
You know, Taeniôn kinda reminds of Ayame Sohma from Fruits Basket. XD My sister always tries to make fun of me by saying that I'm like Ayame because I was born in the year of the snake (and in the manga/anime he turns into one) but I honestly don't take any offence. Personally I think its flattering. lol!
What would the world be without us eccentrics?... a very dull place, that's what! XD
Author's Response: I'd love to be thought of like that. Taenion makes everyone around him feel special. I agree life would be dull without variety. Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the next chapter.
That was a very lovely chapter. I just can't express how much I love this! I hope I can learn to write like you in the future, I've always wanted to be a writer.
I also want to know if Dínenthór will get his voice!
Hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Me too. Writing takes two things, a lot of writing and a lot of reading. Thank you for the compliment and the review.
wow maglor is back, he is one of my favourite characters, well the way yours is anyway. what an entrance surrouded by elven guards.
the wedding was so sweet and descriptive keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thank you. Hope you like the memorial as much as the wedding. rnThanks for the review!
both of these chapters were wonderful, i loved reading them. the best bits were the ring bear grrr and aragorn trying to foist the pinwheel off on faramir, those bits really got my imagination going. i loved seeing legolas and thranduil so happy, i think the twins would have loved the party imagine what they would have thought up.
thanks for writing and update soon it continues to be the best story i've ever read bar the orignal trilogy
Author's Response: I think Elladan and Elrohir would have had a ball! I thought I was going to be disappointed when I posted both chapters at the same time, because I knew you guys would review them both at once, but now I'm glad I did it. As a reader, it would have sucked to have to wait for the second half of the party and as the author, I'm glad to get the reaction to the whole thing at once.
rnThank you very much for the great compliment. I hope you enjoy the next chapter as much. Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent! I loved both chapters for the party! 'Ring Bear'! lol!
You know what I'm waiting for? The arrival of Arwen and the others! When are they going to show up?
Hope you update soon! ^-^
Author's Response: There's a little bit more to happen before then, but it's coming. I think you'll like the next chapter ;)
rnThanks for the review!

Happy Earth Day!
Posted: April 22, 2014 | Author: quintessentialkatie | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Holidays | Tags: earth day, henry david thoreau, nature, ralph waldo emerson, the transcendentalists, transcendentalists, walt whitman | Comments OffThis Earth Day we're taking inspiration from literature's greatest nature-lovers, the transcendentalists:
Today we celebrate Earth Day, an annual event dedicated to environmental protection. Surprisingly, some of the earliest conservationists in history can be found in American literature. The transcendentalists, whose movement developed during the 1820's and 30's, displayed a deep appreciation for the natural world and wrote avidly about their own experiences in nature. So frequently we approach climate change as a monolithic issue, impossible to tackle and incomprehensible in terms of personal philosophy. But perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman had it right; their steadfast appreciation and attempts at understanding the value of the natural world led them to be ever mindful of their surroundings. If we were to put these ideals into conversation with today's problems, we may find some distinct similarities, as well as some helpful insight into the philosophical value of nature for mankind.

Posted: October 9, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Books, history, Top 10 | Tags: alex haley, edgar allan poe, Ernest Hemingway, erskine caldwell, henry david thoreau, jack london, john steinbeck, laura ingalls wilder, mark twain, museums, national author's day, national parks, rowan oak, walden, walden pond, william faulkner | Comments OffMark your calendars and make some plans! November 1st is National Author's Day. In 1929, the General Federation of Women's Clubs created the day to honor America's writers; in 1949, the day was officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Congress. The resolution states, in part, that "[b]y celebrating author's day as a nation, we would not only show patriotism, loyalty and appreciation of the men and women who have made American literature possible but would also encourage and inspire others to give of themselves in making a better America."
Most of these historic places are privately staffed or state-run, meaning that even if the government shutdown continues, you should be able to visit these homes, museums, and locations:
1. Edgar Allan Poe Museum, Richmond, VA
Called "America's Shakespeare," Edgar Allan Poe created or mastered the short story, detective fiction, science fiction, lyric poetry and the horror story. His dark genius has invited children and adults to read and love literature for over 150 years.
2. Mark Twain Study, Elmira, New York
Built by Twain's father-in-law, Twain called this retreat "The Cozy Nest." It is located on the campus of Elmira College. Twain's grave is also located in the town of Elmira.

What is the European Union?
The Prime Minister David Cameron has said people should be able to vote on whether the UK should be a member of the European Union.
But the public vote, which is called a referendum, will only happen if Mr Cameron's Conservative Party wins the next general election.
For 40 years in Britain, politicians have argued about whether it is better for the UK to be in or out of the EU.
But what exactly is the European Union? And how does it affect our lives?
What is the EU?
The European Union is a group of countries whose governments work together.
It grew out of the aftermath of the Second World War.
Many people felt that the best chance of preventing future wars, and of promoting peace and prosperity in Europe, was by countries working more closely together.
It's a bit like a club. To join you have to agree to follow the rules and in return you get certain benefits.
Each country has to pay money to be a member. They mostly do this through taxes.
The EU uses the money to change the way people live and do business in Europe.
Countries join because they think that they will benefit from the changes the EU makes.
Who is in the EU?
Who joined when?
- 1957 - Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg
- 1973 - Denmark, Ireland and the UK
- 1981 - Greece
- 1986 - Portugal and Spain
- 1995 - Austria, Finland and Sweden
- 2004 - Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Cyprus
- 2007 - Bulgaria and Romania
From a small group of nations in the 1950s, the European Union is now made up of 27 different countries.
The United Kingdom joined in 1973.
Croatia will become the 28th member when it joins on 1 July 2013.
Other countries interested in joining include Iceland, Serbia and Turkey.
The European Union currently has around 500 million citizens.
How do countries join the EU?
Countries have to prove certain things in order to be allowed to join:
1. They must show that they treat their people fairly, respect their human rights and allow them to vote in elections.
2. They must show that their economies are properly run. That means the government is sensible about the amount of money it spends and does not interfere too much in the way people do business.
3. Countries may have to make changes to their laws so that they don't clash with the laws of the EU.
European money - the euro
The euro is a type of money that is used by 17 of the 27 EU member states.
The notes and coins were introduced in January 2002, when 12 countries started to use them instead of their own currencies, like the French Franc and Italian Lira.
The eurozone, is what people call the European Union countries who use the euro.

reviews & comments (48)
After reading all the comments regarding pan size, I was worried about how my cake would turn out. I think I've solved the cake pan size mystery -- my batter did in fact fit within two 8" pans that I purchased from Williams & Sonoma -- they are heavy duty, professional cake pans that are deeper than any other cake pan I've owned in the past. The cake did in fact rise above the rim of the pans, but did not overflow. After the cakes cooled, they deflated a bit and settled just below the rim. So, in short, the recipe was perfect for my pan size. As for the cake itself, it certainly was way more rich than I had expected -- it was like a cross between a flourless chocolate cake and a typical lighter cake. Good flavor, but super rich. I frosted it with a chocolate buttercream and placed seedless raspberry preserves in the center -- the raspberry flavor was a perfect compliment. In the future, however, I think I will make a sigle layer cake and serve it with raspberry coulis and whipped cream. It seemed a bit much as a double layer cake, and I'm a huge chocolate fan.
This is without question the best chocolate cake I have ever made- as other reviewers have mentioned, it produces far too much batter for two 8" pans, but having a little extra batter never bothered me.
I took this to a potluck and it didn't last 5 minutes. My husband was able to scrounge some crumbs and he graciously gave me a bite -- heavenly, rich and chocolatey!! I baked it in three 8"x1.5" pans, which was just about right, and had to bake about 20 minutes longer. I made it into a layer cake with Tangy Chocolate Frosting. The layers fell apart when frosting (my kids sticking their fingers in it didn't help) and it looked completely disastrous (I almost didn't take it) but the taste and texture were outstanding and nobody complained!! Next time I would make as a sheet cake, or maybe a layer cake with 2 large squares. Last week I made the Double Chocolate Layer Cake from this site, which my husband requested as his "birthday cake" -- now he's torn between the two.
VERY crumbly cake but oh-so-dark and moist. It's also not too sweet so a good complement to other flavours. I made this as a four layer cake so it didn't matter that each layer broke into at least three pieces- the mocha raspberry mousse (Death by Chocolate Cakes) held it all together. (Melt 6oz unsweetened chocolate while beating 2 1/4c whipping cream [NOT chilled], 1/2c sugar and 1T instant coffee to soft peaks. Fold 1/2 whipped cream into chocolate, then remainder. Fold in 1 pint fresh raspberries.) Like a previous reviewer I, too, gave the butter and sugar a bit of a stir before adding the rest of the ingredients. I also found that 2-9" pans were almost too small for this recipe and will try 3-8" (or even 9") next time.
Excellent texture and taste. Serving this is an easy way to make yourself popular. However, the technique of whizzing all the ingredients together did not work so well for me because I found myself fussing over the room-temperature butter which did not incorporate. I have read that batter with curdled appearance should work out fine, but who wants to take chances when there is precious chocolate and a whopping cup of cocoa at stake? Next time I'll be creaming the butter and sugar first until I understand what kind of a mixer the author intended. Still, of the dozen chocolate cakes I have tried out, this is the best one: not as cloying as a flourless one and more chocolatey than any of the cakey ones.
Seriously, I have never smoked in my life and after tasting the crumbs (having leveled the cake) I'm pretty sure I need a cigarette. I've been on the search for the platonic ideal of a chocolate cake for the past 10 years and this is it. Honestly, this is the only recipe I will ever use from now on. It's like I've found the Holy Grail but with frosting.
This was quick and relatively easy. It turned out beautifully and was a real crowd pleaser, rich and decadent - everyone praised the cake and wanted the recipe!
I made this cake in 2 8 " pans. It was moist, dense and perfect. I made the chocolate buttercream icing with the choc. liqueur that was suggested and it also was perfect. The cakes rose higher than the pans, but I took a cake leveler and brought them down even with the rims before turning them out. I took the cake to work and it was raved over and demolished. I'm thinking that it was not crumbly because I used the size of pan called for. It was dense, moist, and brownie-like but not too sweet. Just perfect. It makes a tall cake. I loved it and will make it again and again.
Intense chocolate flavour and moist. I used two 9x2 round cake pans and the batter looked like it was too much. It was done in 40 minutes. I don't know how it would fit into two 8" round cake pans. Next time I will try using two 10x2 round pans.
i was very surpirsed by the result of this recipe. throwing all the ingredients together sounded insane, and i couldn't get the butter to incorporate very well. i still had small pieces of butter when i poured the mix into the pans (because of earlier reviews, i used 3 - 8" pans which was perfect). to my surprise this cake was amazing! incredibly moist, very fudgy, and intensely chocolate. i used a simple whipped ganache for icing and had so many requests for the recipe at the party i took it to. the cake was completely gone in minutes (leaving several other cakes untouched). this is a keeper! unconventional in method, but outstanding in results!

Golf Fitness and Performance Class - New for Winter 2015
The main reason for swing flaws is that some golfers can't move their bodies the way they need to in order to produce a fluid, unrestricted, and powerful swing. If a player lacks mobility or stability in certain body parts, the player's body will inevitably go around their limitations; creating common deviations and swing flaws. This program will specifically target the body/swing connection and help all players find and reach their peak fitness and performance. We are excited to be able to offer our new Golf Fitness and Performance Class at The Golf Academy at Swan Lake Resort.
Academy Stay, Play and Learn Packages
Students of all abilities are welcome. These half and full day programs are designed to be bookable around your schedule. Come learn, relax and play when you are available. Packages include lodging, unlimited golf with cart, breakfast, instruction and an academy gift.

CONGRATULATIONS to Her Majesty on 60 glorious years. The Princess Elizabeth was full of personality from the start. In 1928 Winston Churchill visited Balmoral and saw the two-year-old Elizabeth for the first time. He wrote to his wife: "She is a character. She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant."
A year or so later, Sir Owen Morshead told of an incident at Windsor. The officer commanding the guard strode across to where the pram stood and said: "Permission to march off, please, Ma'am?"
There was the inclination of a bonneted head and a wave from a tiny paw.
The Queen has often deployed her ready wit, especially to defuse embarrassing occasions.
Once in a tea-shop near Sandringham, a woman leaned forward and said: "Excuse me, but you do look awfully like the Queen."
The Queen replied: "How very reassuring."
At a banquet, she was served with asparagus while her neighbour watched to see how she dealt with the stout, buttery, home-grown stems. When he came to be served, the Queen turned to him and said: "Good. Now it's my turn to see you make a pig of yourself."
On another occasion, the Queen's coach splashed mud over a female pedestrian in Sandringham. The woman shouted, and the Queen answered: "I quite agree."
The Duke of Edinburgh turned to the Queen and asked: "What did she say, dear?"
The Queen replied: "Bastards!"
At a public ceremony, Margaret Thatcher felt embarrassed because she'd turned up in an outfit closely resembling the Queen's. Afterwards, Downing Street discreetly asked the palace whether there was any way by which the Prime Minister might know in advance what Her Majesty intended to wear.
The palace replied with a message from the Queen: "Do not worry. The Queen does not notice what other people are wearing."
But some will say that in the modern world the Queen does not rule. They are mistaken.
The Queen rules through her ministers just as the ministers govern through their civil servants – or at least they used to before the coming of this second rate lot.
Of course, the minister does not attend to every small item of business. It is his job to secure the coherence of his department. And so it is the Queen's function to secure the coherence of the realm.
TS Eliot wrote in 1939: "You cannot expect continuity and coherence in politics, you cannot expect reliable behaviour on fixed principles persisting through changed situations, unless there is an underlying political philosophy: not of a party, but of the nation."
The Queen is the centre and guarantee of the nation; its embodiment.
There were 11 years in the 17th Century during which the monarchy was abolished and the country was governed by a puritanical, politically-correct dictatorship, until the Cromwellian totalitarianism was kicked out and we got our king back.
The cries at the time of Cromwell were eerily similar to what we are hearing today: the need to "modernise" – and so destroy the traditional institutions which have served the country well for centuries.
Who can forget that insulting farce when the Queen was dragged into the Millennium Dome and obliged to lock arms and sing Auld Lang Syne with Tony Blair?
Her Majesty has served our country with distinction and self-sacrifice for 60 years.
Every day she gives us a living example of what love of country means. Long may she reign. God bless her.

"Joining the community", otoh, takes as much as a /join #gentoo or logging into the forums. Yes, you can do that just for fun and that's totally fine. If something prevents users from "joining the community" in this way, UserRel should have a look at it. Nothing new here. But all examples of "tone" I've seen in this lengthy thread revolve around developer (particularly infra/devrel) communications. As has been said before, the two should not be confused, as they are different problems and have different solutions. As for the latter problem, Jorge and Patrick have said all there is to say about the issue. > What we should improve, are the human communication skills (including > mine, eh). This is nothing "we" can improve. I can't magically improve anyone's communication skill (and hell, I wish someone could fix mine!). Everyone decides if that's something he or she wants or needs to work on and how. Personally, I've observed that leading by example works best here. So please join me in killing some bugs (gently) today, kthx?

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has entered into a Consent Decree with Haier America, resolving an investigation into whether Haier violated DOE's energy efficiency standards. DOE's investigation led Haier to determine that a parts defect caused certain freezers to consume more energy than represented to consumers and possibly violated DOE's energy efficiency standards and the ENERGY STAR® requirements for freezers. As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to enforcing energy efficiency, this Consent Decree obligates Haier to notify affected consumers, repair defective units, and pay a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury. During the investigation by DOE's Office of General Counsel, Haier voluntarily identified a parts defect that had caused the freezer models to consume additional energy and took immediate steps on its own to remedy the defects. Haier's cooperation with the Department of Energy's investigation was critical in reaching the Consent Decree, the first ever entered into by the Department of Energy to enforce minimum energy efficiency standards. "Enhanced energy efficiency is a national priority, and DOE will continue to vigorously enforce energy efficiency standards and ENERGY STAR criteria," said DOE General Counsel Scott Blake Harris. "Haier's voluntary disclosures and voluntary remediation measures helped to reach this Consent Decree, which requires swift action to protect both consumers and the environment from the consequences of wasteful energy use. We would encourage all manufacturers to follow this example in the future." Prior to the Consent Decree, Haier stopped the distribution of any of the affected freezer models. Standalone upright freezers sold between December 2008 and August 2009 are covered by the Consent Decree, although not all of the units will necessarily be affected by the parts defect. The following freezer models are covered: HUF138EA (ENERGY STAR), HUF138PB, HUF168EA (ENERGY STAR), and HUF168PB. Under today's legal agreement, Haier will expand its efforts to inform consumers about potential defects in previously distributed freezers, will correct any identified defects at their expense, and will make a voluntary payment to the U.S. Treasury. The Consent Decree announced provides an immediate mechanism for protecting consumers and the environment from inefficient appliances. Among other obligations, Haier has agreed to: • Attempt to obtain information from retailers or other parties who may have contact information for affected customers; • Individually notify affected customers with their offer to repair the affected unit; • Conduct on-site unit repairs at no cost to consumers; • Extend the warranty on all affected units; and • Voluntarily contribute $150,000 to the U.S. Treasury.

Feb 25th 2011 9:15AM You are, in my opinion, completely justified in how you handled the scammer.
As a teacher, I often see spoiled brat children that have no concept of right or wrong, just a sense of entitlement. It's obvious that somewhere along the way they weren't taught that taking advantage of others is wrong. The low standards of the internet?! Try the low standards of the world! Morals seem to be a thing of the past. If you did 'scar' the kid for life, then at least you scarred him with a lesson to not try to scam people.

I love days off. I've just been taking my time doing everything and it's so nice. Before we head to Greenville to shop, I want to share this yummy breakfast I had this morning.
3 egg whites, a fresh peach, 1/2 of a sandwich thin with rhubarb strawberry preserve, and the good part of a pork chop Toto cooked last night. By good part, I mean this part that is now missing…
I added some more of the glaze she used last night to the chunk I stole and heated it up in the skillet I used for the eggs. I also mixed in a tiny bit with the egg whites once they were done. It was super sweet and REALLY good.
The spread I used for the sandwich thin was equally as AWESOME. I think she got it at a country store in Saluda, NC. Gah I love living at home because my mom has all kinds of cool sauces, jellies, jams, spices, etc.
I think Jack wanted a slice of peach too…
This was a Breakfast of Champions for sure. Now I'm off to get ready for our trip to Greenville…a little Poinsett Bride anyone??
OH and I cannot WAIT for tonight! I forgot to mention that my friends are having a little get together to celebrate our engagement and all of my BEST friends from home are going to be there. I'm so pumped!

To make a VERY long story short, Emma found a unique "kiddie pool" over at the vacationing neighbors while I was watering their gardens...apparently inattentively...
Let me tell you, cold water and Dawn doesn't cut used motor oil an inch thick on a golden retriever. Nether does hot water and Dawn or laundry detergent, or Comet, talcum powder, GoJo, sugar or 4 diffrent kinds of shampoo. Michelle, our groomer finally shaved all her hair off... (Can you tell I googled this? We tried everything before and after the strip) finally ...we sponged her with gas, and then bathed her 4 more times. Poor girl, she was sooooo uncomfortable, then so sore, but recovered quickly. Now she just exhausted. And the other dogs aren't sure what I brought home! The long version of the story is actually quite funny, involving multiple neighbors, no hot water at 10:30 at night, and big huge gloppy black dog prints EVERYWHERE. Had to throw out 2 pairs of jeans. Took me hours to clean up the oil slick at the clinic, and I still haven't gotten all the black stains off the garage floor. Michelle left a little lion tuft on the end of her tail to show she's "got COURAGE...ruff, ruff". No cowardly lion here! S |

i am speechless! |
LOL!!!!!! @ the tail tuft!! OMG, that is so appropriate! Emma, did you get a new hair-do? You look different. LOL I'm sorry for you and the hassle, though, Sarah. I can't even imagine the nightmare that must have been! I wonder if Emma has been cured of her kiddy pool addiction. :D That last pic has "humble pie" written all over it. Brenda |
- Posted by sleeplessinftwayne z4-5 IND (My Page) on Fri, Aug 17, 07 at 11:50
How awful! I'm glad you can even think of laughing. At least it is still warm weather. Sandy |
- Posted by fairy_toadmother z5 ncentral il (My Page) on Fri, Aug 17, 07 at 14:36
humble? hmmm. to me she looks like she is looking for the next opportunity! :) |
OMG FTM don't even think that!!! At least she hairless, but she's NEVER getting the chance again! But humble....no. I think that last picture looks like someone pasted my sweet girl's head on some other dog's body. (also like I need to work a bit harder on her diet.) |
I'm glad she is OK. She looks pretty with her new hairdo! I hope the neighbors get rid of a kiddie pool filled with used motor oil. That is a hazard. Do you have a gas station or local government location to take used motor oil? |
- Posted by chickadeedeedee z 6-7 ish Ohio (My Page) on Sat, Aug 18, 07 at 20:44
OMG! Poor Emma! Poor you!! Poor Michelle!!! She did a fantastic job with the ~lion cut~ on innocent contrite little Emma. Awwww. Michelle has a boo-boo foot too! Probably had to get new blades for the clippers after that session. C3D |
Uh oh! I think Emma is trying to maintain her sense of dignity! But she's a beauty, even with no hair and she must be very patient to sit through all that (and you too!). But I gotta ask, what is your neighbor doing with that much uncontained oil??? |
For best result, don't forget to change her oil every 3K miles. |
LOL Semper, when there are so few L's! She's good 'til 2107! My dear neighbors came home Friday and were HUGHLY sorry about the whole thing - I barely got in the door when they asked if one of my dogs got in the oil! They really felt terrible about the whole thing and asked repeatly if Emma was ok. Never mind the big oily dog prints everywhere! He had just changed the oil in his Cat backhoe and his big tractor, and he usually saves the used oil in a 55 ga drum for pick up by the co-op. Got busy, etc, etc...(bet he won't do it again!) BTW, it wasn't an actual kiddie pool, but a 4' round metal tub (the size of a small kiddie pool). Anyway, be assured, he's not the type to poison animals needlessly. He's actually into conservation practices, and grows the most beautiful glads you've ever seen. AND, as a responsible pet owner... I shouldn't be lettin' my dogs run around in uncharted territory unsupervised. Emma's still not quite herself...imagine going to get a hair cut/style before your 1st daughter's wedding and comin' out with a purple mohawk (sorry no offense). She seems embarassed and insecure. I'm doing lots of 'happy' talk and ego pumping. |
Sarah, I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound like a snot! I apologize if I put you on the defense. I'm glad to hear you have such great neighbors, they can really make a difference. |
Due to the heat (not hair "lube" :D), my dad used to shave our dog Brutus (griffon mix) every summer, and he would act the same way at first - embarrassed and insecure. It probably didn't help that Beau "Without Regard" Jangles the husky was laughing at him constantly....until Beau realized that Brutus was cooler...in every way. LOL My dad even left a tail tuft on Brutus once, but none of the other neighbor dogs would play with him. :D Brenda |
I love that second photo. Just look at Emma's expression....she is just the cutest and sweetest dog. |
Oh Sarah! (LOL where you can't see me) Poor you! (LOL some more) And you still love her! You're such a good doggie mommie. (more stifled giggles) Just remember, about three weeks, and it will be a bonding experience. I'm quoting somebody here (don't remember who). At least the shedding will be much less for a while! :) Mary |
oh jeanner - heaven's sakes, no offense taken! :) I thought the same thing - WHY do they have a big tank of oil out without at least a piece of plywood over it! Just curiousity! CT, that's my fav too - "I'll stand here...if I have to...you still love me right?" (She was soooo good) Mary - giggle all you want, I can even LOL now! And you are absolutely right about the shedding!!! |
- Posted by chickadeedeedee z 6-7 ish Ohio (My Page) on Mon, Aug 27, 07 at 19:35
Emma? How are you doing Sweetheart? |
Still bald but beautiful. Got a couple hotspots right after the 'incident' (I would NEVER recommend this to ANYONE!). Happy and wagging and pushing around the other dogs around...finally acting like myself again (pass the clomipramine please) :) |
- Posted by chickadeedeedee z 6-7 ish Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Aug 28, 07 at 7:42
Poor Emma! Hot spots on top of all the indignity! Glad that she has recovered physically and emotionally. She's such a sweet girl. :-) |
Well, she IS a hotty. :D Those hot spots are so awful! Clyde the pug used to get them down near the base of his tail. :( I can't wait to see if Emma is a natural redhead, when it all grows back! :D BIG and WET kisses for sweet Emma! Brenda |
I have this fear that she'll never grow her lovely coat back - hypothyroid or something - sheeesh, so dumb, I love her no matter how much she sheds...or not! Thanks guys, Emma's Mom |

After head or neck surgery, your surgeon can perform reconstructive surgery to restore your jaw and teeth so you can eat, talk, and function more normally. Using bone, skin and muscle grafts from various parts of the body, the surgeon can reconstruct your jaw. Your natural teeth will be replaced with dental implants. After recovery, you should be able to speak and eat real food. Occupational therapists and speech therapists can help you adjust to the jaw and teeth reconstruction.
Johns Hopkins Medicine answeredWith the help of specially trained doctors, your affected teeth or jaw can be reconstructed following treatment for head and neck cancer.
Initially, dental implants were used in patients missing all of their teeth. Now, the same principles are applied to the replacement of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch of teeth with the same high degree of success.
Some head and neck cancer patients need to have part of the jaw removed during surgery, affecting both speech and function. The jaw-reconstruction process is multi-step:- The team evaluates patients to design their prosthetics before undergoing jaw removal surgery.
- They coordinate with surgeons to implant titanium screws in facial bones at the same time as jaw removal surgery.
- Two months later, after the jaw has healed, patients return to the team so the doctors can place attachments to the screws.
The Johns Hopkins team is also starting to employ new technology, enabling image-guided procedures. The team is using new computer software to view three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) images of a patient's jaw. Doctors can then design the implants through the program, resulting in quicker treatment that is the most efficient and accurate as possible. -
Randall Stastny, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, answeredAs a rule, yes they can. Depending on the surgery there may be multiple steps in recontructing the jaws and teeth, but it can be done. Sometimes the reconstruction can be started at the same time the original head and neck surgery is done.

Composting in Your Clients Yard
In addition to the information below, the NYC Compost Project holds periodic workshops and seminars on mulch-mowing and composting for landscaping professionals and institutional grounds managers.
If you are providing landscaping services for a private residence, you can offer backyard composting as an additional service. Many consumers today are interested in protecting the environment and are particularly concerned when it comes to their own backyards. Offering composting services to your clients adds value and credibility to your business, and enhances your business reputation as an environmentally conscious landscaper. (See information on the benefits of composting.)
Many commercial compost bins available are compact and neat, and can be easily integrated with the landscape. If you strategically market composting as a service and educate the homeowner, both you and your client can successfully recycle garden material and kitchen scraps on-site using a compost bin. Our composting guides have basic and detailed information on different aspects of how to compost. Especially useful for landscaping professionals are the guides to leaving grass clippings on the lawn, mulching, and using compost.
After consultation with your client, set up the compost bin in an appropriate location that's accessible and convenient. Provide literature (available through NYC Compost Project sites ) to your client and take the time to explain how to compost properly. You can also encourage your client to contact the NYC Compost Project directly for information.
Keep a stockpile of dry, carbon materials (fall leaves are best) available if the client intends to compost food scraps. Offer to aerate the bin as part of your services-aerators are fairly inexpensive and are easier to use than shovels or pitchforks. Use the finished compost when planting or mulching.

CUNA Strategic Services works with a top calendar printer to offer credit union wall calendars, pocket planners, calendar cards, and stick up calendars.
To your credit union, calendars are a gift to your marketing budget. Calendars offer year-long advertising impact at a remarkably low cost per impression—typically below $.0006 per view. The opportunity to reinforce your brand is renewed each month, when members flip the page to a new image and new reminders.
Studies show calendars make an impression on consumers:
CUNA Strategic Services has offered credit union calendars for more than 20 years. Our relationship with the largest calendar producer in North America and the volume of our program allow us to offer premium quality calendars at prices less than what you could receive elsewhere.
Thanks to your purchases of Credit Unions for Kids® branded calendars, the credit union movement has donated nearly $10,000 in the last four years to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Thank you for your support of this worthy program.
More details on the Credit Union for Kids donation program can be found on the "make a difference" page of the calendar catalog. CUNA Strategic Services will donate 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of all Credit Unions for Kids branded calendars in the name of a supporting credit union chosen at random.
For other questions about calendars, contact Brenda Halverson, CUNA Strategic Services alliance manager, at 800-356-9655, ext. 4110, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
