Beer and pretzels go together like the Patriots and a slightly deflated ball. I kid, I kid. But seriously the only thing better than a classic pretzel is this football shaped treat perfect for the upcoming Super Bowl game. It's infused with beer and goes swimmingly with your favorite dipping sauce. ( Ahem these kicked up condiments will do the trick!) For even more, have a look at our Puppy Bowl inspired shindig.
prep time 1 Hour/s 30 Minute/s | cook time 8 Minute/s | total time 1 Hour/s 38 Minute/s |
- 1 packet active yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 5 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 2 cups beer
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Sea salt for sprinkling
- Mix yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and warm water in a small bowl and let stand 5-10 minutes until foam.
- Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix in olive oil, then yeast mixture. Mix for about 5 minutes.
- Roll dough into a large ball, then place in mixing bowl covered with damp towel in a warm area until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Form dough into a long log and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out long skinny strips to form the pretzels. Each football pretzel needs 2 long strips for the football shape, one skinner long strip for the middle line, and three skinny bitty strips for the laces.
- Mix baking soda and beer together in medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it begins to bubble, then reduce heat to low.
- Dip the pieces of dough for one football into beer mixture for about 20 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and let excess beer drain off. The dough should have puffed slightly.
- Arrange the dough pieces in a football shape on the prepared baking tray. Start with the outer shape, then add the middle line and then the pieces for the laces, pinching together the dough at each meeting. Repeat for the remaining pretzels.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Let cool slightly and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

"Everything is Better with Bacon!"
Sunday, August 17, 2014 starting at 2:00 PM
What's cookin' this summer at Fraze? Why, only the greatest food item on planet Earth - BACON. Under the hot summer sun, savor the flavor of breakfast's favorite side item. Whether you're in the crispy bacon or chewy bacon camp, Baconfest is BACK!
The name alone should make bacon lovers salivate – Baconfest is back with a vengeance.
It's bigger this year, and it's hungrier – believe it.
The event commemorating pork's best side will return to Fraze Pavilion this July with more restaurants, more food, and dishes that will make you want to kick off the front door. Twenty restaurants will converge on the Fraze August 17 with live music from Linden Davis Group, the Skeptical Cats, Classic Rock Experience and The Devonshires.
"This year we have a lot more room in the pavilion," said Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association, which is hosting the event. "We have more restaurants, a better booth layout, and w'll have live music all day on the main stage."
Among the dishes you can expect there?
Archer's Tavern has ambitious plans with bacon-wrapped hot dogs, while Seafood Maestros The Dock are looking at crab cakes and some bacon elements. Coco's Bistro will be serving Maple Bacon Cheesecake, and Dayton banner – Marion's Piazza – they're bringing in bacon pizza, which if you've ever eaten there, is serious business. Scroll down for the full line-up of restaurants and menu details.

Mervyns is closing four of its stores in Arizona, three of them in or near the East Valley.
Stores at 9109 E. Indian Bend Road in Scottsdale Pavilions, 4710 E. Ray Road, Phoenix, in Ahwatukee Foothills' Silvercreek Plaza, and 4643 E. Cactus Road, Phoenix, near Paradise Valley Mall, are among 26 "under-performing" Mervyns locations to get dumped by the California-based retailer, which is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and trying to reorganize. A south Phoenix store will also be shuttered.
The rest of the company's 10 Valley stores are safe, for now.
The targeted locations will close in October or November, the company said.
"While the decision to close this group of under-performing stores was not easy, we believe this is a necessary step in our process to emerge from bankruptcy as a stronger company, better positioned to compete in the retail industry," Mervyns CEO John Goodman said in a statement.
Mervyns said it will help displaced employees "make the transition as smooth as possible," and the company has hired a liquidator to stage clearance sales.
Mervyns is not the first national chain, and likely won't be the last, to take a big hit this year from the sour economy.
Longtime retailers Levitz, Sharper Image, Steve & Barry's and Linens 'n Things slipped into bankruptcy earlier this year. Ann Taylor, Zales Jewelers and Foot Locker started closing stores to avoid the same fate. Disney, which bought back its stores from The Children's Place, trimmed the number of locations.
Even the combination of stimulus checks and the back-to-school shopping season is proving to be disappointing.
Overall retail sales in July were just 2.6 percent higher than July 2007 sales for the country's biggest chains. And discount stores captured most of that meager increase.
"Although July captured some early back-to-school shopping, the month was dominated by clearance sales and discounts," said Michael Niemira, director of research for the International Council of Shopping Centers.

Quirky News
Angry women force men to do sit-ups
Men caught riding in a women-only carriage on the Delhi Metro were fined - and then slapped by angry woman who forced them to do sit-ups.
A police team caught a number of men in the carriage in a surprise raid at the city's Guru Dronacharya station, reports the Times of India.
Officers fined them the equivalent of £3.50 each - and then women, furious at men repeatedly invading their carriage - took their own vengeance.
Gurgaon police commissioner S S Deswal said complaints of men getting into the reserved coach and harassing women were becoming frequent.
"We have been getting a lot of complaints from women, including the lady wardens, about eve-teasing and harassment," he said.
"As suspected, we found many male passengers in the women's coach. The moment the women saw us, they got the courage to teach the men a lesson.
"We will continue this drive and ask women NGOs to also take part. We want our young girls and women to feel confident and safe while travelling in the Metro.''
Police say that around the same time, 40-odd menforcibly entered the women's coach of another train and refused to get off, even after women commuters protested.
The train was held up at Hauz Khas station for more than half an hour and police had to be called in. Two of the group were arrested and charged.

More Information:
Madison Opera presents Gioachino Rossini's Cinderella (La Cenerentola) on Friday, April 27 and Sunday, April 29 at the Overture Center for the Arts. Bel canto magic meets a beloved fairy tale as the beautiful maid Angelina quests for true love and the talented film director Ramiro sets out to find his next leading lady. The classic rags-to-riches story is set against the backdrop of Depression-era Hollywood, when vaudeville gave way to the silver screen.
Madison Opera's exciting production features glittering sets and costumes and a cast of unforgettable characters. Maestro John DeMain conducts the Madison Opera Chorus and Madison Symphony Orchestra. Garnett Bruce returns to direct the lavish production, an original interpretation that incorporates showgirls, soundstages, and Busby Berkeley production numbers.
"It's an American approach to the Cinderella story. In the 1930s, movie studios seemed to go from fantasy spectacle to human drama," says Bruce about the unusual choice of setting for Cinderella. "Rossini's take on the legend is not about magic, but people looking after one another. The fun and outlandish Hollywood production numbers provide contrast to the heartfelt vocal solos and ensembles and emotions."
Mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack, who gave audiences a tantalizing preview at Opera in the Park 2011, sings Angelina, the ill-treated Cinderella who dreams of happiness. Tenor Gregory Schmidt, last on the Madison Opera stage as the ghostly Peter Quint in The Turn of the Screw, sings Don Ramiro, the weary film director at Palace Pictures Studios whose hunt for a starlet awakens his heart. Baritone Steven Condy sings Don Magnifico, the washed-up vaudevillian searching for a ticket back to stardom with his two scheming daughters.
Daniel Belcher makes his Madison Opera debut as Dandini, Ramiro's driver, who changes places with him to great comic effect. Alan Dunbar also makes his Madison Opera debut in the role of Alidoro, the clever studio head at Palace Pictures. They are joined by Jamie Van Eyck and Amy Mahoney as the two amusingly wicked stepsisters, Tisbe and Clorinda.
"Cinderella is one of Rossini's most delightful operas," says General Director Kathryn Smith. "It's both very funny and very genuine— we laugh at the comedy, while strongly rooting for everyone to live happily-ever-after. The music is full of vocal fireworks that are thrilling to hear and we have a stunning cast that makes it all sound easy."
Madison Opera is hosting a children's book drive during the run of Cinderella. The book drive, aimed at promoting children's language skills and reinforcing the importance of literacy, will benefit the University of Wisconsin Pediatric Early Literacy Projects, encompassing the American Family Children's Hospital Inpatient Reading Library and UW Health's Reach Out and Read programs. As a thank you for helping provide literacy-rich waiting rooms and libraries for young patients, patrons will be entered into a drawing to win one of three prizes, including subscriptions to Madison Opera's 2012/13 season.
A variety of events surround this final mainstage production of Madison Opera's "Season of Dreamers." Opera Up Close provides an exciting preview of Cinderella on April 15 at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, including an artist roundtable. Pre-Opera talks will be offered one hour prior to each performance in the Wisconsin Studio. In the Overture Hall lobby, audiences will be treated to "Visiting the Canteen," a poster exhibit focused on 1930s film stars who also appear as characters in Cinderella. As part of the exhibit, Edgewood High School will present a tableau vivant of an iconic scene from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Opening night of Cinderella marks Madison Opera's second annual OUT @ the Opera, our affinity group for the LGBTQ and Allied community. The event begins with the spectacular opening night performance of Cinderella, followed by an exclusive after-party at Fresco Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge. Patrons who want to make the night even more special can purchase tickets to A Night at the Palace, an evening of fun and fine dining on opening night. This gala event to benefit Madison Opera features hors d'oeuvres and wine during a silent auction, an elegant dinner in Promenade Hall before the performance, and champagne and dessert following the show, as well as a chance to meet the artists. The silent auction is open to all Cinderella ticket holders, and patrons may bid until the end of intermission.

Various: Lots of good options
San Pedro is full of good cheap accomodations. Only Panajachel offers more choices, but no place has cheaper options than San Pedro. Finding a room from 15-20 Q is normal here (that's under 3 bucks US!). I noticed a few places right by the main dock and Nick's Place.
The Casa Elena is just down the road to the left of Nick's and has 6 rooms. The upper rooms have views over the lake and hammocks and you can't beat the price at only around 15 Q per night.
The Hotel Valle Azul is also near Nick's Place and has similar prices and simple, basic clean accommodations for under 20 Q. It's a popular place for backpackers and travelers and is conveniently located next to the local drinking holes.

Ti'Kaaj: Nice and inexpensive place
This hostel is not close to the water as many other hostels, but it is located a little outside the center. To get here from the pier and the boat from Panajachel, you have to walk on small trails passing local small houses and small gardens and fields, where the main crop is corn.
I liked that walk very much, and that was part of the reason why I wanted to stay here at this hostel.
The hostel is a few hundred meters from the shore, where the boat to Santiago Atitlan leaves.
I payed 12 Q for a double room (year 2001 prices), but single rooms were even cheaper.
The rooms at this hostels are very basic and so are the shared bathrooms and toilets. I didn't spend much time in my room, so I didn't care much about that anyway.
I spend some time in the nice garden, where I relaxed in a hammock and just talked to fellow travellers. Once in a while some of the local women showed up to sell food. That was great. One day one of them had baked some bananacakes, and they were still warm. That tasted so great and it was a good idea to come here and sell them. They also sold avocadoes and fruit.
The hostel had a restaurant with the same name across the road, but I never got around to eat here.
Close to the hostel an american woman had a little shop where she sold homemade and fresh bread. That was a great breakfast or a nice lunch with a ripe avocado on top.

Off the extreme southern side of Gringo Lane: The best hotel in San Pedro
A pleasant, small hotel with located on the shore of Lake Atitlan, it has just a few (16?) rooms and has some shared accomodation (i.e.a couple of hostelike dormsl). It and the Sak cari are the nicest properties in town, and a room for two is as low at $27US a night (expect to pay more for rooms with a lake view). The rooms are not particularly large, but the plumbing works reasonbly well for a developing country and the place is clean.
There is a decent restaurant on the top floor and it has a couple of hammocks and some hot tubs outside. The hotel is owned and operated by a French-Canadian, so while not up to international standards, it is quite good by local ones
Nice and reasonably clean and comfortable place to stay right on the shore of Lake Atitlan. There is free internet, but signal quality is variable, so one has to move around to get a good connection,
There are some great views of the lake from various places around the hotel

Hospedaje Lolita: Nice and clean...with a hammock!
We arrived in the afternoon and immediately at the docks in San Pedro, a couple of local drunks started molesting us and following us while we were looking for a place to stay. We checked the fanciest hotel along the way - the price was US$16 for 2!!! Later on accidentaly we ran into great hotel where we decided to stay for 3 more nights.
Hotel is located right between the center and the docks. Our room was on the first floor, we had bathroom and 2 beds inside, and a couple of hammocks in front of the room. It was very clean and the host lady was awesome. Price was funny - US $5.50 for 2...:-)

Hotelito Sak`cari (aka "Hotel Sunrise"): Comfortable, clean and with HOT WATER!
I spent over a week here. It fronts onto the waters of Lake Atitlan and most of the rooms face the water. The gardens are neat and strewn with hammocks and loungers. The hotel has a few "kayaks" (moulded plastic on which you sit - not the Canadian version with a cockpit and spray skirt).
The hotel has free wi-fi but the connection is tenuous during the day. Early morning offers the most reliability but there are far better connections available elsewhere.
On the plus side:
- cheap beer
- very friendly folk
- hot water from solar power. Fabulous to finally have hot water at a reasonable water pressure!
- very pretty view of the sunrise and moonrise over the lake.
- lots of ducks in the reeds for the birdwatchers...

Casa Emmanuel: My iPod and camera were stolen from locked room
I stayed at Casa Emmanuel and had my own room.
My iPod and digital camera were hidden in my backpack when I went out to dinner.
The door was locked, it automatically locks when you close the door.
Several people that work at Casa Emmanuel have keys to the rooms, including the owner's teenage son.
When I returned to my room, my iPod and camera were gone.
This hotel costs about two dollars a night less than most other hotels in San Pedro, but when items get stolen from your room, it ends up being much more expensive.
May the person who did this have Karma catch up with him.

Hotel Villa del Lago: the SWEETEST view !!
San Pedro has the cheapest accomodation in the country, and some of them are just awesome! This hotel is right in front of the lake shore... try to get a room in the third floor, the views laying in those hammocks are unbelievable!!
It also has a kitchen in the roof, by the way ... the view from the roof is even better! The bathrooms are always shared, the whole place is quite clean ... especially considering you pay only Q$ 20 (less than USD 3!!!).

It's hard to believe that "Cheers" is Rihanna's seventh overall single, and sixth video, off her Loud LP — especially since the album was only released nine months ago.
In fact, the only thing that seems to fly by at a quicker pace than the singing sun-bather's record releases are her hair styles (and colors), several of which we get to see in this vid.
Anyway, have a watch, and keep an eye out for Jay-Z, Cee Lo Green (who was briefly an opener for the Loud Tour) and Kanye West.
Rihanna – "Cheers (Drink To That)"
Did we miss spotting anyone else in RiRi's new vid? Don't blame us — in the spirit of the song, we're already hammered. (It's already the freakin' weekend somewhere, y'all.) Let us know the pop star oversights below!

All right I am pretty damn sure I have not missed a manga yet. So I am going to go and say what you said was bull about the father right? If not, what the f**k did I miss?
uhh that's what I said... them acquiring shinigami powers makes them a hybrid, therefore they are no longer classified as hollows they are considered as hybrids
One of the Espada looks a lot like Sado's father me and my friends have come up after hard speculation-I printed them of and compared-that it was Chads father so I'm sorry if I said it as I did it's out of habit not idiocy.

I'm absolutely ECSTATIC!!!!
1Nov 21, '11 by BBRANRN2013Hi all, I'm a 3rd semester RN student and my life long dream is to work in L&D. I have an interview tomorrow for a nursing assistant position at the local hospital in the birthing center. Any tips on what the interview would be like and what questions I should be prepared for??? I thank you all in advance. I'm a mother of four, and you lovely OB nurses have inspired me tobecomea nurse. Did I say IM SO EXCITED!!!!!oVolunteerCPR likes this.
0Nov 22, '11 by fashionistaRNCongrats on the interview! I'm sure you will ace it!
When I interviewed for a tech position (it wasn't OB), they asked me why I wanted to work in that particular hospital; what are my strengths and weakness; how did I handle conflict/stress. They also asked about normal ranges of VS and what to do if VS are abnormal (tell the RN).
Since you are in nursing school, I'm sure the questions will be a breeze. Just be confident in yourself and honest! Good luck! -
0Nov 22, '11 by cacentralvalleyCongrats!!! Please post back and let us know how it goes. I'm so excited for you! Happy thoughts and positive energy flowing your way.
1Nov 22, '11 by Jael11Check out this video on youtube. It's about roughly 8 mins long and provides a lot of insight as to what can be expected in an interview for a nursing position.
Good luck, and I was just recently excepted into a nursing program to start in the spring. I'm so excited and I can't wait.

0Nov 22, '11 by BBRANRN2013Thanks all. I have my interview in 1 1/2 and I'm so nervous. What r some questions I should ask them??? Thanks so much and I will let u know how it goes!!!!
0Nov 24, '11 by BBRANRN2013I think the interview went really well. I interviewed with HR first and then the NM of the birthing center. I really think they liked me. I even got to sit with some of the other techs at the desk and they explained to me what they do all day! I hope I made a good impression. I made sure they knew that I was really interested in L&D now and when I officially become an RN. Now it's just the waiting game. I sent her an email thanking her again. She said I should know within the next couple weeks!!!! Praying for an early Christmas Gift....cross ur fingers!!!!
0Nov 24, '11 by BBRANRN2013And the interview was at 1:30 and I didnt leave there until 3:00. Is this a good thing?? I'm hoping!!!! Happy Thanksgiving All!!!

City's famous recreational spot is losing its sheen and lung space at an alarming rate
It is a garden only in name. Hyderabad's most famous recreational spot is losing its sheen and lung space at an alarming rate. Home to more than half-a-dozen institutions, Public Garden is getting hemmed in by the day. There are more concrete structures than greenery here – making a mockery of the objective with which the 'Bagh-e-Aam' was created by the Nizam.
If you are looking for the beautiful flowers to lift your spirits, banish the idea. More buildings than buds greet you here. The Chinese garden has given way to an open air theatre while the rose garden is taken up for road widening. A beautiful lake has vanished over the years without a trace. And so are the migratory birds. Public Gardens is no longer the tranquil retreat it used to be. Interestingly, it is not unsocial elements, but the powers that be which are responsible for the shrinking garden space. Concerned members of the Public Garden Walkers' Association have petitioned the Lok Ayukta to restrain the government from undertaking further construction here.
Ghulam Yazdani, senior advocate and president of the Association, has urged the court to prohibit the government from undertaking any structures in the Public Garden. The walkers are concerned about the proposed move by the government to shift the Nizam era nursery to make way for a new building for the Legislative Council.
The Municipal Administration and Urban Development has allotted land to the nursery on the Necklace Road. "At this rate nothing will be left in the Public Gardens leave alone its charm and glory," rues Mr. Yazdani. Not long ago when the protocol building came up close to the Jubilee Hall, some morning walkers filed a writ petition in the High Court and the latter directed the authorities to restrict the construction to half its size.
Walkers feel the recreational area has come down sharply due to coming up of the Telugu University, Lalita Kala Thoranam, Indira Priyadarshini auditorium, Bal Bhavan and the Protocol building.

An enhanced geothermal system is a man–made geothermal reservoir, created where there is hot rock but insufficient or little natural permeability or fluid saturation.
To create a man-made geothermal reservoir, fluid is injected into the subsurface under carefully controlled conditions, re-opening preexisting fractures, creating permeability and fluid saturation. With permeability and fluid saturation now in place with hot rock, the production of electricity is possible.
EGS Benefits
EGS could conceivably be created anywhere there is hot rock underground.
EGS emits little to no greenhouse gases beyond small amounts of water vapor. They also have the potential to fulfill the U.S. energy need for firm, baseload power, while being flexible enough to respond to demand. Because of the size of the resource, it is difficult to quantify the untapped potential beneath the Earth's surface. Currently, 100+ gigawatts of EGS power in the U.S. is a well-cited, near-term estimate based on work from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Steps to Develop Power Production at an EGS Site
Step 1: Identify/Characterize a Site
- Develop a geologic model of a potential site via surface, geologic, geophysical, and remote sensing exploration.
- Assess the temperature gradient, permeability, in-situ stress directions of the resource, rock mechanical properties, and whether fluid is present.
- Determine if the necessary characteristics to create an EGS reservoir are present.
Step 2: Create a Reservoir
- Drill an injection well into hot rock with limited fluid content and/or permeability.
- Inject water at sufficient pressure (or temperature differential) to create a fracture network.
- Continue operation until there is enough fractured volume to create a reservoir (flow rate, temperature, volume, and sustainability).
- Drill a production well into the fracture network, intersecting the created flow paths.
- The resulting circulation loop allows water to flow through the enhanced reservoir, picking up in situ heat. The hot water is then pumped to the surface through the production well (see diagram below).
Step 3: Operate the Power Plant and Maintain the Reservoir
- At the surface, the water flashes to steam, or it heats a working fluid that produces vapor.
- The steam/vapor turns a turbine to create electricity.
- The original geothermal water is recycled into the reservoir

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. | 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, |
2 Why? Because the Torah of the Spirit, which produces this life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the "Torah" of sin and death. | 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. |
3 For what the Torah could not do by itself, because it lacked the power to make the old nature cooperate, God did by sending his own Son as a human being with a nature like our own sinful one [but without sin]. God did this in order to deal with sin, and in so doing he executed the punishment against sin in human nature, | 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, |
4 so that the just requirement of the Torah might be fulfilled in us who do not run our lives according to what our old nature wants but according to what the Spirit wants. | 4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. |
5 For those who identify with their old nature set their minds on the things of the old nature, but those who identify with the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. | 5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. |
6 Having one's mind controlled by the old nature is death, but having one's mind controlled by the Spirit is life and shalom. | 6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; |

Comments:Author Tinwelende (5 years) She will be stressed, yes. Why do you have to keep her in there for 5 weeks? Author Tinwelende (4 years) Thank you! :) I'm not sure how long they're pregnant, but a couple of weeks, I'd guess. Try to google it. They usually give birth to 30-50 little fry, I'd say. Author Tinwelende (1 year) I don't know exactly how long they are pregnant, but when the belly starts looking more square-ish than round, the birth is very close (like a few days). You should definately put her in a separate fry tank, because most other fish will try to eat the fry. Good luck! :) Author Grantuh (4 years) Oh and my snail died the other day giving birth and it's babys mated today. is that normal.. I'm not sure they're the size of ur pinky nail sooooo Author Tinwelende (4 years) Around 40.

Author Tinwelende (4 years) First off, it's hard to understand what you mean when you don't use any puncutaion. Try to write proper sentences. You should use a fishing net or, if you don't have that, use a normal drinking glass or something and try to make them swim into there. I think you should use a separate tank for the guppy fry until they are almost grown, since the female betta will probably try to eat them if they are not as big as the other grown guppies in there. Author Tinwelende (4 years) One day before she gave birth. Right after she was done, I let her out, so she wouldn't eat the fry. Author Tinwelende (3 years) Their belly is getting bigger... Author Tinwelende (3 years) She had around 40 and 35 or something like that survived the first 24 hours. Author Tobias Karim (4 years) @Tinwelende and now i mean jack dempsey cichlid fry:) but its the same couse they are at the same size Author catandfish5 (4 years) put her in a breeding trap Author Tinwelende (4 years) I live in Sweden, so I bought it in a pet shop here, but I'm sure you can ask any pet store if they know if any of their suppliers have them. Maybe they could order one in for you. I believe the brand of mine is "Marina", but I'm not exactly sure if it is... Good luck!

Author AliJaeJR (3 years) How can you tell a fish is pregnant? Author Tinwelende (4 years) The parent's will probably eat them if they can, that's all. Though, if you have a lot of vegetation and stuff to hide in, they might be ok. Author brian lee LilKidd (3 years) wats da song called? nicee Author Tinwelende (2 years) Make sure the mother gets enough nutrients when she's pregnant, by feeding her more food than usual (food of good quality and without letting it sink to the bottom, which pollutes the tank). Then, make sure the water conditions are good when the fry comes (no nitrates and such). Mollies also like the fresh water to be a little bit more salty than most other fresh water fish do, so you should always use a little more aquarium salt than normal when you keep mollies.

No-Sew Tulle Ghost Costume
Seven layers of white nylon netting gathered at the neck with seam binding make an apparition as light as air.
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart Livingadvertisement
- Scissors
- White tulle
- Yarn needle
- White yarn, ribbon, or seam binding
- Glow-in-the-dark paint
Step 1
Measure the wearer's height, double it, and cut about 7 lengths (depending on desired degree of transparency) of white tulle to that measurement. Tulle comes in 54-inch and 72-inch standard widths; we used 108-inch width from a specialty store.
Step 2
Stack lengths of tulle; mark center point of one long edge to indicate top of hood. Measure from shoulder to shoulder over head of wearer, add 3 inches, and divide by 2.
Step 3
Measure that distance from center point on tulle to make an arc. Mark arc with pins at 3- to 4-inch intervals.
Step 4
For the tie, thread a yarn needle with 3 yards of white yarn, ribbon, or seam binding. Weave through all layers along arc, leaving ends for ties.
Step 5
To finish, shred top 2 layers of cape, tumble briefly in a hot dryer, or apply glow-in-the-dark paint.

I made this for my 5 and 2 yo. Like other reviewers, it took me a few reads to figure it out. I was confused on step 3-wasn't sure if one measured the distance calculated in step 2 out from the center in both directions or perpendicular down the tulle, or both. I went with both. Once I made it, the directions make sense. Make the arc deeper (more oval/egg shaped on the perpendicular axis) vs. wider for a better fitting hood. I will likely re-do mine for a better fit that stays on.
marsbarelizabeth 19 Oct, 2014
After staring at my layers of tulle and re-reading the instructions for about 2 hours, I finally accepted that the instructions do actually make sense. I used tulle that was only 54 inches wide, but since I am short, it worked out. You stitch the hood on the LONG side of the tulle. When I was all done, the back was shorter than the front, because of the extra fabric, but I ended up cutting the front up so I wouldn't trip on it. My only suggestion is maybe more tulle for volume and effect.

Made a great childrens costume for a 4 year old! I modified the directions to make it a little more child friendly. I created a deeper larger hood by offsetting 5 inches to the calculated measurements in a more half oval shape. I also trimmed it a few inches above the shoes to lessen the trip hazard. Finally, I also cut arm holes in the tulle as my daughter didn't prefer the cape, I ribboned the openings when not in use so it was easy to find the holes. Viola! Still looked diaphanous.
TeriMelisa 13 Oct, 2013
These are awful directions can understand them at all. It's a really cool costume and I would love to try it but I don't understand the directions. and for someone like me who doesn't sew they are really confusing. So please add some detailed pictures or drawings and do better instructions because I would like to wear this. Thank you.
Also if anyone else has done this and can give better directions could you please help me out. Thanks -

~I bought (on sale) some white cotton blend fabric as the bottom layer, I get cold easily, plus you can use less tulle and have it still white, but wear whatever you want underneath.
~This costume WILL BE HEAVY. If you use much tulle. And things will snag the bottom, and could choke where it's tied, so be careful.
~Stand on a chair when you have someone trim your train, it'll be a smooth cut.
Megan2385 25 Sep, 2012
and it'll be lighter on bottom to make you more "floaty"
~DO NOT bother with a dryer. Tulle is a crazy fabric, so the night before you plan to wear it, crumple in a ball and place something heavy on it (I used books) and you'll get the same result without worrying about melting it. Don't crumple the hood, it won't lay right, do just have that sticking out from the ball.
~Put on your costume, and have someone trim your train, this can be tacked under the bottom layers to make it more "full" NEXT -
Megan2385 25 Sep, 2012
OK, I'm in the middle of making this costume right now, so as I come across problems (and/or solutions) I'll post them!
~So far, when you make your hood, make an oval hood not round, your head will barely fit.
~If you're short, you only need the 58 or 72 inch tulle, I used 108, I'm 5'5" and I have about 2.5 feet of fabric trailing behind me.
~To save on fabric (I bought a bolt but want to make a child version) shorten your top few layers (about the last 4 or so) SEE NEXT COMMENT -

smb475 17 Aug, 2012
Still wondering... On which side of the tulle do you sew the arc? The 54"/72" side or the side that is double the wearer's height?

Picture, drawing, diagram would be great for this project!!

Made this today in black...it's awesome! Here's my instructions...I am 5 foot 10 so I bought 12 feet of 58" wide crushed pane (crushed stretch velvet) (4.99 yard with coupon) as the under layer..& 24 yards (6 layers for my height) of black tulle..1.Lay out the velvet & use chalk to mark the center on one edge. Measured from shoulder over my head to other shoulder and added the suggested 3 inches to measurment, divide that number in half to get how far to mark to the rt & left of the center pt.
saratchka 13 Oct, 2011
Just made this for my daughter. It took about 30 minutes. The result was good, but I'll be re-doing the hood as it would work better if it went deeper into the panel of fabric. (Think a "U" shape rather than a semicircle.) Even with seven layers of tulle, the cape is very sheer, so she'll wear all white clothes underneath. All in all, an great-looking, easy, quick costume. Thanks!
phalterman 28 Oct, 2010
I am baffled
What side of the Tulle do you do the Arc?? (i am 5'3", so i bought seve layers of 126" tulle) Do i put the ARC on the 126" length? or the 54" length) I realized that this would be translucent, but I can still see ANYTHING i wear underneath?? is that supposed to be how it looks? what if i bought some opaque organza for the bottom layer?) I REALLY wish we could zoom in in the pictures, to get a better idea of how this looks put together. -
Johnypeper 27 Oct, 2010
Great costume idea and it was easy to make. I made mine with 8 layers and alternated black and white layers to make a smokey gray. This is the easiest costume I have ever made and the results are fantastic!!! John
markil 25 Oct, 2010
For pattipoopidoo - once you've cut the main lengths of tulle based on your height there is no more cutting involved. After you've sewn the ribbon/yarn through all the layers, gather the tulle a bit and tie the ends around your neck. The shorter part on top makes the hood. I've made this costume twice and it seemed odd each time until I was actually doing it.
Sewsavvy 24 Oct, 2010
Just a little tid bit- for the top layer try using sheer material to add a more flowy look.
Sewsavvy 24 Oct, 2010
I work in a fabric store and had two costumers come in and ask how this is made. The cutting instructions may not be clear for someone who does not sew, but I carefully looked at the picture provided, and if you cut exactly the way it says, and after doing the tie, you get your hood at the top. It was a great challenge to figure out but fun at the same time. and I just love the costume-Bravo Martha!!
pattipoopidoo 23 Oct, 2010
I just read this 10 times and nowhere does it tell you how to cut it? I would expect more from you, Martha....tsk tsk.
pattipoopidoo 23 Oct, 2010
I wish someone would rewrite these instructions, they are a disgrace!
daniellemg 22 Oct, 2010
I just made this costume and it turned out great! Only 54 inch tulle was available, but it worked out just fine. The directions were easy to follow and my costume looks just like the photo! Thanks!
mom2cvk 7 Oct, 2010
I believe the shredding and throwing it in the hot dryer might cause the shredded pieces to draw up (ie melt) hence "briefly in a hot dryer" or use glow in the dark paint to accent some of the edges instead - that's my guess.
Sheryll 24 Sep, 2010
I used to sew for folks and I designed a few costumes in the past and I don't even understand the last sentence of the instructions.
"To finish, shred top 2 layers of cape, tumble briefly in a hot dryer, or apply glow-in-the-dark paint." I just don't get it either. -
BusyExploding 19 Sep, 2010
I was really excited to make this, and while reading the instructions I got so confused that I just said, "Screw it!", ditched the directions, and decided to make a cape/cloak thing instead. But, after I a while I went back, and it wasn't until after I folded/layered that I figured it out. It's a Pancho kind of thing. After you layer/fold it (or whatever) you cut a [filtered word] in the middle, or, uh, half a [filtered word]. That's as far as I've gotten. Just thought I would share my brain fart/Eureka! moment.
Susanne527 24 Oct, 2009
THIS caught my eye...WOW, I just imagine myself wearing this....floating through the streets and having an ITCH attack! Haha...I'd be this fidgety ghost...but heck I'd look great! Great idea...LOVE IT!
Melanie604 30 Oct, 2008
I don't quite understand how the hood is made. Will someone please explain? Thanks.
Kenokyle 29 Oct, 2008
I just finished making this and don't know what to do with it...it doesn't look anything like the picture. It's made right but isn't nearly as full. Barely comes over the shoulders so it just drapes in the back. So now I have to come up with something underneath that will definitely show. My tulle was 108" wide also...
elizabethregina 23 Sep, 2008
Gewisse - See you there! I think I'm going to go as a good witch in gold, combining two costumes (the golden goddess and this one!)
melaniehouse 18 Sep, 2008
I really want to make this costume for myself this year but i'm not sure if i'm understanding the directions correctly. I measured my height to be 63 inches so if that is doubled it equals 126inches do i think get 7 pieces of tulle cut to the measurement of 126 inches? If someone could help me with this i would appreciapte it.
ccaldewey 16 Sep, 2008
I made this costume for myself the year it came out in the magazine. It looked pretty cool, but though it seemed like an easy, low-cost idea, it actually cost about $35 for all the tuille (store-bought, not special-order); more than I anticipated. My 8-year-old has decided she wants this costume this year (okay, with a little coaxing from mom)--I can't wait til she sees herself all ghostly and ethereal :)
glasscat 13 Sep, 2008
This would also work in black (smoke) and red, with really dramatic makeup, as passion or anger for an adult party.
bittyro 10 Sep, 2008
For those of you who are going to make and wear this outside, make it short enough to keep off the ground. Tulle catches on everything from grass to bushes to concrete not to mention it picks up loose debris which can only be effectivly removed by hand. If you still want a train, make the first underlayer out of wide bleached muslin then make your tulle layers a little shorter to help keep them out of the dirt.
bittyro 10 Sep, 2008
Be warned. This may seem like an easy project but tulle can be very cantankerous to work with. When I made my wedding gown many years ago, the under skirt was made of about as many layers of tulle using a similar method. I nearly through in the towel and opted for a hoop skirt instead.
mrspsp 10 Sep, 2008
As soon as my daughter saw this one, she wanted to make it with me for her Halloween costume. I like how easy it seems to get on and off, my husband likes that we'll make it together and that it doesn't cost much, and it will fit the rules for the school parade. A big bonus is that it looks like it isn't too hot to wear (big factor here in the desert). The glow in the dark paint will add a really fun element. Hair-raising!
Gewisse 10 Sep, 2008
I'm going to make this one up and do my face in platnium white with dark eyes and lips. It's for the Greenfield Village, Dearborn MI Halloween walk. Love it ! It will be easy on and off.
MamaMel 10 Sep, 2008
This seems pretty easy, even a sewin novice like me could do it!

Survey Reveals Most Unusual Questions From Job Seekers
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It's often said there are no bad questions, but a new OfficeTeam survey suggests otherwise. Human resources (HR) managers were asked to recount the most unusual or surprising question they have heard a job seeker ask during an interview. Here are some of their responses:
- "Do I have to be at work every day?"
- "Would you consider going on a date with me?"
- "Do you want to take a ride in my new car?"
- "What color is the paint in this office?"
- "Can my husband finish this test for me?"
- "Is the boss single?"
- "Do you have a job for my partner?"
- "What are the women who work here like?"
- "How do you think I did on the interview?"
The survey was developed by OfficeTeam, a leading staffing service specializing in the placement of highly skilled administrative professionals. It was conducted by an independent research firm and is based on telephone interviews with more than 650 HR managers at companies with 20 or more employees in the United States and Canada.
Some professionals were most concerned about their next big "break":
- "Do you allow midday naps?"
- "Can I get every Tuesday off?"
- "How soon can I take my first vacation?"
- "Can I have three weeks off every three months to pursue my music career?"
- "How much time do I have to put in?"
- "Can I have my birthday off?"
Then there were individuals who didn't think the following requests were out of the question:
- "Can I place my desk near the cafeteria?"
- "Could I get a pay advance?"
- "Can you help me search for an apartment?"
- "Is it OK to wear shorts to work?"
- "Can you help me with the employment test?"
- "Can I set my own hours?"
- "What job is this for?"

A change of plea hearing has been scheduled for a former bank employee charged with taking money from a customer's certificate of deposit and taking out a loan in the person's name.
The indictment in the case says Kelly Taplin, a Trustmark National Bank employee in Hinds County, made the transactions between and June and December of 2011.
Federal authorities are seeking the forfeiture of more than $19,000.
Taplin had pleaded not guilty. The change of plea hearing is set to take place in U.S. District Court in Jackson on April 8.

Letter: Up to the challenge?
Bernice Richmond, Naples
Up to the challenge?
Much has been said about President Barack Obama's inability and/or unwillingness to keep White House tours open to the American people.
The president says that the under $100,000 a year that it takes to run a volunteer operation such as the White House tours is beyond his administration's ability to fund.
Americans invented the term "hogwash" to describe just such a circumstance.
Of course, maybe Obama just does not like company of ordinary people traipsing through what he considers his home. No matter.
Some have suggested that Donald Trump underwrite the monumental (joking here) cost. I agree that a private charity could be a painless way to accomplish continuing the tours. But I suggest that Mitt Romney would be the perfect man to accomplish what seems to be, for this administration, an insurmountable challenge: the cost of keeping the White House open for all Americans.
Mitt, the great organizer, would have no trouble finding friends, rich and poor from across the United States who, out of unabashed and unbowed love for country, would voluntarily give money to continue tours and maintain the White House as the people's house and not just a residence for a parsimonious, if not vindictive, transient and his family.
What about it, Mitt? You know you can do it. You know the people want it.
Somebody hand this letter to Romney. Let a man who loves his country and all of its people figure out this "big" problem.

Source: Techradar
If you're looking for a super-sized tablet your options are fairly limited, yet Samsung offers up two with the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 being joined by the incredibly similar Note Pro 12.2. The latter has the advantage of the S Pen stylus which is useful on screens this size, yet the Tab Pro 12.2 makes do without and it fails to really excite. Yes it has a big screen and a whole lot of power, but build quality could be better and the sheer size of the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 makes it a little cumbersome to hold.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 is not a tablet for everyone. Indeed, I have trouble believing it's a tablet for anyone given its screen issues, lack of stylus and relatively high £550 price. However, we'll look into its real-world uses in our full review.

Its pressure sensitive tip offers enough resistance to let us accurately doodle away and the handwriting recognition is just as good, turning the Note Pro 12.2 into a genuinely useful creativity tool - as opposed to a pure consumption device, which is the category most tablets tend to fall into.

Lakewood Ranch Plastic Surgery's experienced team of aestheticians rejuvenates visages by softening skin spots and diminishing the effects of aging. The HydraFacial procedure uses a specialized spiral tool to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize tired faces, leaving human emoticons beaming brighter than a warehouse rave attended by lightning bugs. The technicians carefully consider each patient's skin type and epidermal flaws before concocting a custom serum, which is then deposited into the deep layers of skin, providing nutrients and hydration. Each gentle treatment reduces acne-spawning oil, smooths fine lines, and provides antioxidant protection against ravening hordes of roving free radicals, while providing less discomfort than being plunked by a softly thrown marshmallow.
A family-owned eatery overflowing with friendly service, SweetBerries comforts lonesome stomachs with blankets of tasty custard, fresh soups, crisp salads, and loaded sandwiches. The menu transports tongue buds to the Big Easy with the New Orleans muffaletta sandwich, piled high with savory meats and homemade garlic-and-olive salad ($6.99). Take a romp through a fancy cheese garden by opting for the savory gorgonzola salad ($6.89), then reward your diligent plate-landscaping accomplishments with a delectable custard indulgence. Put on your best creativity cap or diamond-encrusted hard hat to prepare for a Concrete concoction, which includes a helping of hard-packed frozen custard blended with your choice of candied, fruit-filled, or nutty accoutrements ($3.30/small with one mix-in; $.60 for each additional mix-in).

The market also offers cooking classes, which teach students to use those ingredients when preparing regional Asian dishes such as Korean-style bulgogi beef or Vietnamese-style spring rolls.

At Grace and Shelly's Cupcakes, the Butterfinger isn't a candy bar?it's a cupcake. A vanilla one, to be precise, filled with peanut butter, frosted in cream-cheese frosting, and topped with chunks of its namesake candy. Creative cupcakes like these have earned the bakery myriad press mentions. The culinary team whips up new cupcakes daily, too, crafting fresh-baked treats in flavors ranging from banana to red velvet.
