I guess 'dense' would be a better description than crunchy or even crisp...at least the ones I made turned out that way. They were nice and firm on the outside, but when bitten they were semi-soft on the inside...that's why I described them as 'dense'. If they're crunchy or really crisp, I would guess they were either rolled too thinly or baked at too high of a temp or for too long. Baking this type of cookie even the teeniest bit too long can greatly change the texture and final product, IMO. I think it would be too difficult to bake a truly soft sugar cookie if they're intended to be decorated and stacked or packaged in some way. Since the royal icing adds moisture to the cookie once ices, I would think a soft cookie would just start to fall apart, eventually. If I'm completely wrong about this though, any of you more experienced with cookies please feel free to correct me! I've done my fair share of decorated cookies & am by far no expert, but the no-fail and Antonia74's icing have been the easiest to work with and most pleasing so far.

Overview - Ezekiel 18 | |
1 | God defends his justice; |
31 | and exhorts to repentance. |
Ezekiel 18:24 (King James Version)
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

Star Wars Gets the Street Art Treatment
Animated character designer Phil Postma created this series of imaginary Star Wars action figures cards after he saw an image of an R2-D2 action figure that looked like a tiny spray can.
I love the graffiti art style of the images, and think it would be awesome if they actually made a Star Wars animated series with this look.
I'd also like Phil to come to my neighborhood and spray this on one of the buildings:
Be sure to head over to Phil's blog to check out more images from his Star Wars street art series – and lots of other awesome art.

Laboratory tests may be done for many reasons. Tests are performed for routine health screenings or if a disease or toxicity is suspected. Lab tests may be used to determine if a medical condition is improving or worsening. Lab tests may also be used to measure the success or failure of a medication or treatment plan. Lab tests may be ordered for professional or legal reasons.
Many factors affect test results. Your doctor will consider your age, gender, and race as well as what you eat and drink and what medicines you take. It is important to follow pre-test instructions and to talk with your doctor about your results.
Due to changes in the way your body naturally functions through the course of a day, lab tests may need to be performed at a certain time of day. If you have prepared for a test by changing your food or fluid intake, lab tests may be timed in accordance with those changes. Timing of tests may be based on increased and decreased levels of medications, drugs or other substances in the body.
Lab tests results are often difficult to interpret. Our lab test glossary will help you understand basic information about how to get ready for tests, how the tests are done and the normal results for the tests.

Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
Spikes are dangerous and often deadly obstacles that can line the floor, walls, or ceiling of any given room or passageway. They are an extremely common form of environmental hazard, particularly in side-scrolling games.
A ball of hot flickering fire. Usually thrown from the hero's hand into the squealing face of the enemy.
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
Even though water in games tends to bring about death, we all still hold it near and dear to us. After all, the human body is comprised mostly of it.
Helicopters are flying vehicles, typically with a single large main rotor to maintain lift with a tail rotor to counter rotation induced by this main rotor. They are useful in air to ground combat as well as for quickly inserting and recovering infantry close to the front line.
A bomb is an explosive device.
The premier choice in your defensive needs. A great companion for any one handed sword, which in addition to blocking can be used for advanced maneuvers like Shield Bashes.
A barrel is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. In video games, it is used in many ways to fill up a level or even be used in one. They also may explode. Use caution when around barrels.
A potion is any sort of liquid, usually brewed by an alchemist, that replenishes the health, mana, or energy of the player, or causes damage to an enemy. Potions are extremely common in role-playing games.

A spaceship is a vehicle capable of traversing the vacuum of space.
A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
The topmost bone in the human body, it contains the brain and the eyes, and is generally considered a good thing to keep intact.
A round generally rubber object used to support and transport motor vehicles. Also used as throwing objects in certain fighting games.
Used in puzzle games to be broken, moved, or matched by color, shape and size. Also used in many early 3D polygonal games. Not to be confused with Squares or Cubes.

"Delish. Hubby couldn't get enough of this!"
"This is a great recipe! I used tomatoe sauce instead of paste with water. And I added a bit of water to the pot for the last hour since it was getting kind of dry on the sides. Yummy!"

1 week 2 days ago | The way you get around this |
The way you get around this in basketball is you tell the dominant team to slow it down on offense, eventually only taking jump shots, and play a compact zone around the paint, hands at or below the shoulders. That way the losing team avoids an endless stream of embarassing layups aginst them, and they get off some makeable shots. The alternative, the bully way, is to play suffocating defense against a physically inferior opponent who will get literally no shots so you can run up a stupidly outrageous score. Obviously that was done here and this person shouldn't be coaching. Whoever it is really should be looking for a job in an office somewhere as a middle manger where he or she can torment some underlings. Probably the most pathetic thing about this is the fact that the winning team had 6 fouls and the losers none. You're up by that much and you're fouling? |

There's more to it than that. I read an analysis of this a ways back and the US News rankings now have a decided bias toward smaller, less diverse (academically not racially) schools. It turns out it's easier for them to marshall the students and alumni to respond in greater relative numbers and more consistently to the questions that produce these rankings. It's more involved but that's the gist of it. |

Demi Lovato vs. Jasmine V: Who Is Better for Trey Songz?
How Deep Is Her Love For Trey?
Demi told Celebuzz back in September that she thinks that the 26-year-old singer is "pretty hot" but said that there was nothing romantic going on between the two hit-makers.
"We followed each other on Twitter and direct message each other," Demi said, "he's pretty awesome."
Likelihood That They'll Make a Good Match: Both singers are super-talented and now that Demi is 18 their love can be legal. But does Trey feel the same way about Demi?
Demi Lovato
Jasmine V
How Deep Is Her Love For Trey? Jasmine admitted to Latina magazine that she had a crush on "beautiful" Trey but she also mentioned under the same breath that she finds Taylor Lautner attractive. Looks like Trey isn't the only guy in Jasmine's eyeline!
Likelihood That They'll Make a Good Match:
Jasmine's age (17) will be a big roadblock on the path to romance for these two. The young singer also has her eye on many other men (TLaut and Justin Bieber) so she is probably more interested in keeping her options open.
Who do you think will win the Trey Songz love battle? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

apparently nashville signed stortini. i, for one, am glad he isn't going to be in a habs uni next year (as some had suggested he should be signed) - Comment on Not enough guys for a game of shinny (2011-07-05 14:48:33)
he, like many other NJ players had a very bad season. the year before that, though, he had 24 points in only 46 games. if he had played the whole season it would have worked out to over 40 points. also, he IS a winger, which is why i think we should trade him for moen, another winger. clarkson has shown in the past he can produce good numbers for a bottom 6. smithson never has and never will. smithson is also 32, while clarkson is 27 (in his prime). you were rite about the pk though. we would have to sign a center or someone who could replace moens spot. - Comment on Not enough guys for a game of shinny (2011-07-05 14:37:03)
the only thing is that he is 32 and has zero offense (13 points in each of the last 3 seasons). the habs have enough one dimentional players imo. - Comment on Not enough guys for a game of shinny (2011-07-05 14:34:50)
i dunno to be honest. but with guys like plekanec and gionta, eller, darche and even gomez and cammalleri on the pk, i wouldn't be too worried about that.

Are you picking up more than just a new lipstick and mascara?
Mary Zorcik, a department store sales associate in Forest Hills, NY, couldn't figure out where she picked up her whopping case of pinkeye last October, which prevented her from wearing her contacts for nearly 2 weeks. A recent study could provide a clue: It found that cosmetic-counter makeup testers like those Zorcik uses to touch up her face during her lunch hour can host some potentially dangerous forms of bacteria.
"Germs on makeup testers isn't a cause for public panic, but it is unhygienic and worth avoiding if you can," says Elizabeth Brooks, DPM, a biological sciences professor at Rowan University. She should know--she spent the past 2 years analyzing the surfaces of hundreds of makeup testers in stores ranging from drugstores to high-end department stores. Her findings: Testers and makeup counters were contaminated with a variety of germs, from the type of staph bacteria found on doorknobs to E. coli, a fecal bacteria transmitted via contaminated hands.
That comes as no surprise to Philip M. Tierno Jr., PhD, director of clinical microbiology and diagnostic immunology at New York University Medical Center and the author of The Secret Life of Germs. "Most infectious diseases are transferred person to person via germy hands," he says. "Touching contaminated fingertips to your mucous membranes allows germs to enter your body, where they can cause colds, infections, and life-threatening illnesses such as hepatitis A and salmonella." Germ-tainted makeup can theoretically do the same, notes Brooks, but research hasn't yet shown a direct link.Contaminated makeup testers also could lead to problems on the skin's surface. "You can pick up herpes from a tube of lipstick if a previous user had a cold sore, and conjunctivitis [pinkeye] can be transferred via eye pencils or mascara," cautions Karen Burke, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in New York City.
Surprisingly, Brooks's findings, while disturbing, suggest that retailers are not to blame. "At all the stores we visited, we routinely observed employees disinfecting cosmetic counters and the surface of makeup testers," she says. That included using antimicrobial wipes, dipping lipsticks in alcohol, scraping powders, scooping out the top layer of creams, and sharpening pencils to a fresh point.
"The culprit turns out to be poor hygiene by customers," she says. "As the day goes on, the samples become increasingly contaminated from dirty hands, sneezing, and coughing." How germy they ultimately get directly correlates with store traffic. "On weekends, when stores have the heaviest traffic, up to 100% of the testers showed contamination, while on Thursdays, levels dropped to 43%," she explains.
Should consumers boycott makeup testers altogether, or simply limit their use to Thursdays, when counters are cleaner? Here are the pros' best tips:

We own a 1885 two story that was extensively remodeled in 1922. Thankfully, not much was changed since then, other than the kitchen. At some point, probably the 50s or 60s, the wooden storm windows in the kitchen and second floor were replaced with metal screens and storms. While I understand the logic of why the previous owner did this, I really would like to replace them with what was originally there. My question is about the 2nd floor. Living in Michigan, I love to have the windows open as often as I can. Is there a solution for the 2nd floor that doesn't include switching them out with wood frames screens twice a year? I know my husband would do it, but it just seems really dangerous to me. Thanks :) |

Wood storms, with possible screen inserts for the lower light...or, wooden storms which are hinged to open, and allowing you to put adjustable screens in the lower sash opening (the kind which slide side to side from stores). |
Thank you! I never thought of inserts for the lower light only. Then they could be changed from inside. I like that idea better than having them hinged. We live close to Lake Michigan, so wind can sometimes be an issue. |

Ours are this way the storm covers entire window wood framed the sreens you then take off the storm and the screens wood framed too but just the bottom half of window. |

That could all change for Capital Cities, now that their debut LP In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery is slated for a June 11 release on — you guessed it — Capitol Records. Helping matters is the utterly joyful new video for "Safe And Sound," which features band members/fleet-footed time travelers Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian roller-boogying, breakdancing, tap-dancing and doing the Hustle throughout the restored Los Angeles Theatre in the Grady Hall-directed clip. Fun stuff.
We're just going to put it out there that, with a little luck, "Safe And Sound" could find itself having a dance-off with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and whatever other early Song Of Summer contenders come shaking down the pipeline.
Do you agree?

Nice hotel, but the rate was a little high. Room was nice and adequate. However, being on the lower level, in the corner, the traffic noise was a liitle much.

Catholic Marriage and the New Catholicism
My Interfaith Marriage Perspective
On Easter Sunday, I attended Catholic mass with my wife. This would not seem unusual to most people, and we have attended Catholic services together since our marriage. I will title our life together as the new catholic marriage and the new catholicism. What does make our situation more unique, however, is that I am of the Jewish faith. This dichotomy could have made our union impossible, had our love for each other not been so strong. We could have let our differences separate rather than connect us, but instead made the decision to support each other's personal choices, and share as many celebrations as possible.
One of the differences we have learned Is to appreciate our religious backgrounds.
One of the differences we have learned to appreciate is our differences . My wife was raised in the Roman Catholic faith, and my family embraces the Jewish traditions. While we do not attend every ceremony together, we share the ones each of us deem important in our faith. The catholic Easter service holds a special place in my wife's heart, and I am always happy to attend with her. This is one of the way our catholic marriage keeps us feeling very much in love with one another. In addition, every year she attends my passover seder, which is quite often around the same time as Easter. My wife doesn't know it but she is really jewish because she has a jewish heart and soul. As a humorous anecdote, decorating our door during these holidays is our mezuzah, along with the Easter bunny. I think the neighbors get confused sometimes. Christmas is even more humorous, with both a menorah and Christmas ornaments displayed at our home to celebrate the season.This our catholic marriage and jewish marriage making our corner of our wold be filled with love and harmony.
Not Every Sermon I Have Attended Has Been Endearing To Me
In fact, traditional readings in the past have created mixed emotions. My wife and I enjoy discussing our observations and personal take on each sermon given by Father Eric, the local priest of St Patrick Church, here in my hometown of Scottsdale, AZ. He's a wonderfully persuasive speaker with a good heart, and also of importance (of course!), an Arizona Cardinal fan.
Traditionally, Catholic doctrine held its members to rigid requirements. Over the years, I believe this may have kept people away from the benefits that religion may have to offer in helping its members with their relationships and spiritual lives. My training as a counselor has helped me listen objectively, in spite of any difference in personal beliefs.
Easter Was Joyous Due To Love In The Room

The Alaskan wilderness is one of the most remote places on the planet. It is the land of snowy mountains, winding rivers, dense forests, and more grizzly bears than anywhere else on earth. Each year hordes of grizzlies come out of hibernation and are thrust together in a life and death frenzy of feeding, fighting and mating. Their drama culminates with the annual salmon run. Each grizzly bear must double their body weight in less than 6 months in order to survive the looming winter. These vulnerable grizzly bears face many obstacles on the road to survival, and in a unique and highly ambitious project, Discovery Channel and BBC set out to cover this remarkable season in an unprecedented way. The breathtaking footage, airing on Discovery Channel on Sunday, May 12 from 9pm ET/PT to 11pm ET/PT, will bring viewers closer to the lives of these bears than anyone thought possible. In order to capture the spectacle on film, a team of expert guides and wildlife filmmakers set out to live alongside the bears for the full five months that they are out of hibernation. With them they brought along years of experience and a profound respect for the bears. Specially designed camera gear filmed the bears in a new way and spy cams were rigged throughout a vast area lending an intimacy rarely seen. Team member ecologist and conservationist Chris Morgan said, "When you're working with the creators and cameramen from Frozen Planet and Planet Earth, you know you're going to come away with something special. Throw in a few bear specialists, the densest population of giant brown bears in the world, and a mass of different cameras, and what you get is a mind-blowing play-by-play of these bears' lives." And throughout the team's experience living within mere yards of the bear population, they got the chance to closely monitor and understand each individual bear's quirks and habits. "We're going to be a part of this community for the whole season and it will give us an opportunity to see these bears not just as one group of bears, but as a series of individuals each with their own strategy for getting through life. It's really exciting to me," said naturalist Buck Wilde. Throughout one extraordinary season, the team was able to intimately witness the stories, personalities and struggles of the grizzly bears. They got to know Parsnip, a tenacious first-time mother of two small cubs. They were awed by the power of Van, a dominant male standing over 8 feet tall and weighing in at over a thousand pounds. And they were shocked by Alice, the flirtatious female bully with a strong temper and a penchant for aggression. There were tense moments and shockingly close encounters. Each of the bears had an incredible story to tell. "Having lived among these great bears for twenty three summers, I thought I had seen it all. But the grizzly stories we were able to deliver on-camera for GREAT BEAR STAKEOUT are the most dramatic, touching and revealing I have ever seen on screen. People won't ever think of bears in the same way again," said Buck Wilde.

I will never recommend any for-profit paper mill to anyone, particularly ITT. I've got 40k worth of debt for the majority of classes entailing being a teacher reading a book to us. There were only two teachers that were worth a damn (Hi Mr. Miller and Mr. Richie) and I took three classes under them, total. Going there went something like this: First three quarters: This is pretty basic stuff, guess I get to the meat of things later. Second three quarters: Well, this seems to be as good as it gets, I've already spent almost 20K, may as well finish it out. Last two quarters: Regret. At least I'll have a diploma. Not to mention there was a guy in the classes that did nothing but surf the web for nothing but entertainment sites, did poorly on all the tests, didn't turn in homework, but still managed to get on the honor roll. I hate that place with all my heart and I chalk it up one of my life's biggest lessons/mistakes. I wish I would have paid 1/10 of what I did and gone to community college for the same education.

Make the warp drive, even just one, and we get MUCH further toward the rest of the tech than the other way around.
Also, reaching other planets and/or system to obtain more resources is possible with this tech.

Expert Advice
Helmet Fit Not An Exact Science
- Details
- Written by Mike Gruwell
There is not a fail-safe way to know which size of helmet to buy online. Ideally, you would be able to walk into one of our three ChutingStar shops and try a bunch on, or be able to try on helmets at your local drop zone or skate park. But for some, it's just not possible.
Each manufacturer does post a size chart for its helmets. And that is a great starting point. You'll want to get a soft tape measure, which you can find in the sewing section of any grocery store. Measure around your head, level with your forehead and behind your ears.
Choose the helmet size that the measurement corresponds with. If you find you are inbetween 2 sizes, then choose the size based on how you like a helmet to fit (tight or loose).
But unfortunately, even with taking these steps to find the right size, you may find the helmet is either too big or too small when you get it. The reason this happens is that helmet shapes compared to head shapes as well as what one person's idea of a comfortable fit varies widely.
While approximately 75% of the people will find that the measured size does match the helmet size chart for a good fit, the other 25% will find they need a helmet 1-2 sizes different than what the chart says.
ChutingStar does post additional sizing notes for manufacturers or helmets that we find tend to size big or small, or notes on those that we know fit better up or down one size if you're inbetween sizes. So read the product descriptions for any notes. And you're more than welcome to contact us for any further advice we could give you before deciding on a size to order.
But the best news of all is that ChutingStar will take any helmet back to exchange for another size. While you will have to pay for the shipping, at least you can get that ideal helmet size for your comfort and protection. And the next time you're in Georgia or Florida near one of our shops...come try some helmets on!

The Texas Rangers, the bankrupt Major League Baseball club, asked a judge for permission to hire Perella Weinberg Partners as an investment banker as it works to complete a sale of the team.
Perella Weinberg, which advised the team's owner before the bankruptcy filing last month, would "identify potential investors," the Rangers said in a court filing yesterday. The New York-based firm would be paid a monthly advisory fee of $87,500 and a one-time fee of $1.5 million upon completion of a restructuring or sale.
The Rangers already have agreed to a sale to a group led by Nolan Ryan, the team's president, and Chuck Greenberg, a minor league club owner. Ronit Berkovich, a lawyer for the Rangers, declined to comment today on why the team wants to hire Perella Weinberg. Mark Semer, a Rangers spokesman, said the team isn't marketing itself.
"The team has been marketed, a buyer has been chosen, and there's no intention to market the team," Semer said. He declined to comment further about services Perella Weinberg would provide, as described in the filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fort Worth, Texas.
Secured lenders in the bankruptcy case, including Monarch Alternative Capital, oppose the proposed sale. They say the Rangers could get a better deal.
Adam McGill, a spokesman for the lender group, didn't have an immediate comment about the proposed hiring of Perella Weinberg.
In addition to identifying potential investors, Perella Weinberg would "contact and solicit" investors at the team's request, according to the court filing. The firm also would help arrange financing for the Rangers while in bankruptcy and help structure and execute a sale of the team.
The case is In re Texas Rangers Baseball Partners, 10- 43400, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth).

Possible differences between international and U.S. versions?
A big drawback of the S3 was that the international and U.S. variants had differences that, in my opinion, crippled the U.S. devices. For one, they opted to go with the weaker Qualcomm dual core S4 chip because the Exynos wasn't ready for LTE. By doing this, the Wolfson audio chip (a huge feature to the device) was also removed and replaced with the much, much worse Qualcomm DAC. Of course, Samsung attempted to make up for this with the extra gig of ram and LTE, but to me it still didn't make up for it. So, obviously, my question is whether or not the Octa-Core CPU (the rumored processor) will be LTE ready or if we should be expecting an inferior Qualcomm or Tegra chip in the U.S. versions of the S4 this year. The answer could possibly depend on whether or not the S4 is my next phone.
- 01-22-2013, 10:02 PM Thread Author #3
But it definitely won't include a Wolfson chip, which is much more important to me than a GPU that will allow me to play games I'm never going to play. Since the Exynos does have LTE, it shouldn't matter, though. I wonder how great the development community is going to be if all of the devices are essentially the same (excluding CDMA, of course).

An Early Look at Le Royale

Here we have interior shots of Le Royale, the Good Samaritan of a club that's attaching some big ol' jumper cables to our fair city's nightlife. Tonight's weekly Robot Rock party kicks off at 10 p.m., with Jamie Hince from the Kills joining resident D.J.'s Alex English and Dimitry. Granted, not as cool as Snoop Dogg reportedly appearing onstage with Reverend Run at Touch's opening, but we have a feeling Royale's musical chops go deeper — on December 21, Bloc Party front man Kele Okereke has at the turntables. And! A food program is set to come sometime next year — we can only hope it will include a Royale with cheese.

I have searched without success for a death registration.His wedow said she was in 1901 but in 1911 she said she was married although not living with her husband,so I guess that could have been a slip. His widow Sarah died in 1921.The last entry I can find for him is in 1891 in Derby England where he was born. Wish I could clear this part of my great grandfather's mystery. Any help pleae?.Thanks.
