A young Saudi billionaire dies in mysterious circumstances hours before marriage
Saudi billionaire, Drici Waleed, 43, met his bride-to-be when she came to the Kingdom on a visit with her family. The wealthy businessman was immediately love-struck and decided to marry her shortly after their first meeting.
The woman in question was Algerian and the couple planned to hold the marriage ceremony in her home country among family and friends. But tragedy struck just hours before the wedding was due to take place and, in mysterious circumstances, this seemingly healthy young billionaire, died of a heart attack before he got her down the aisle.
The ceremony, scheduled for last Thursday, was going to be held in the woman's home home town of Kalal, in northeastern Algeria. But now the groom's family are flying him back to Saudi Arabia, this time in a body bag.
Top Headlines
Waw, it is so much crazy ! Allah o 3alem if the woman who was about to get married make him died or anything else , but seems that this story still strange ...
A deep analysis should be done by the family and police from the kingdom....
It is really sad ...
We dont know yet the time will tell us.
But for the fortune , i think they should wait to give her and make sure they was married before the man died i think... Logic!
If they is no contract marriage they should not give her the money.
I cant wait for knowing the real story !
Noooooooooooooooo, no way!!!! No paper no money!!! Also, the police must make analysis on the body. Sure, it is not an accident, and I hope they will check the girl if she did not do this to other man.

Newly-elected Reps. George Graham, D-Lenoir, and John Bell, R-Wayne, are among 38 freshman members of the N.C. House of Representatives — they are also two fresh faces in Lenoir and Greene County's legislative delegation.
"We are an important part of North Carolina," said Graham, who spent 30 years on the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners. "We're strategically located and we have a willingness for growth and development I think that the local delegates from Eastern North Carolina have an opportunity to shine."
Graham, Bell and other new and re-elected members of the N.C. House and Senate will be sworn in on Jan. 9 in Raleigh.
Bell has served as a leader in the Wayne County Republican Party and advised a number of races for local, state and Congressional offices. He made his first run for elected office this year.
"It's people that have decided that they want to be a part of government, that they're tired of the status quo and they want to go up there and do something for the betterment of North Carolina," Bell said of the members of the Legislature.
Bell will take over the House District 10 seat previously held by Stephen LaRoque, who represented Lenoir County in the House from 2003 to 2006, and was elected to the seat again in 2010.
He was defeated in the May primary and resigned from the House in July after being federally indicted.
District 10 covers areas of Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Craven counties.
Graham will take over the District 12 seat, held by William L. Wainwright since the early 1990s. Wainwright passed away in July.
District 12 serves areas of Lenoir, Craven and Greene counties.
"There will be some learning curves, there will be some challenges ahead, but I think we'll be better off," Bell said.
Bell said the issues he wants to tackle include improving North Carolina's economy and protecting the state's military bases — several major bases call Eastern North Carolina home — from a potential nationwide round of BRAC, or Base Realignment and Closing.
"I look forward to being part of the team that restructures the tax code and changes some of these harmful regulations that have strapped our small business owners and (kept) our industry from growing," he said.
Graham has said in the past he wants to protect local governments from "unfunded mandates" passed down by the state.
He said Thursday he also wants to promote local agriculture, which he said was "the No. 1 industry in North Carolina.
"We need to do more with incentives for our farmers," Graham continued. "We need to help them experiment and be more productive, and we need to get our product on the market and abroad because as small as we are, we feed the world."
Graham said he also wants to work on education, job development and veterans affairs, "things I've been about for many, many years."
The Senate side
Don Davis of Greene County has served as mayor of Snow Hill and is a distance learning adjunct faculty member at Lenoir Community College.
He represented District 5, which served Greene, Wayne and Pitt counties, from 2009 to 2011. Sen. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, defeated Davis during his re-election bid in 2010.
Davis ran unopposed in the primary and general elections this year after state elections officials ruled that his prospective Democratic primary opponent, Tony Moore of Winterville, did not meet the district's residency requirements to run.
"I'm truly looking forward to the opportunity of serving again," he said.
Pate's victory in 2010 was part of a historic Republican wave of legislative victories that year, as the GOP took the majority in both houses.
The Republicans solidified and expanded their majority this year, and have the added bonuses of the first Republican governor in 20 years in Gov.-elect Pat McCrory, as well as Republican Lt. Gov.-elect Dan Forest.
Davis said Wednesday he knew he would have to work with a new legislative leadership.
"I look forward to going in and working with anyone who is willing to put the interests of our residents first," he said.
Davis said the issues on his mind include economic growth and investing in education.
"Part of that for me is to continue to tout the Global TransPark and the potential that it represents," he said of economic growth. "I see it as a diamond in the rough — with the right care and nurturing some great things can happen here, and continue to happen."
He also wants to see continued investment in education, including early childhood, K-12 and higher education.
"We have the whole array that we have to focus on and I just think that those efforts, while we may not necessarily see the benefit tomorrow, we're planting the seeds for truly seeing the return of that investment in the years to come," he said.
Pate, who was attending an out-of-state conference Thursday, was not immediately available to comment.
He will represent Senate District 7, which serves Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Pitt counties and came about as a result of last year's statewide redistricting. Davis will represent Senate District 5, which covers Wayne, Pitt and Greene, and brought in sections of Lenoir due to redistricting.

Prep football practice begins; Cascade vows to 'finish the fight'

Kevin Clark / The Herald
Eric Dinwiddie, Cascade's interim head football coach, watches his team practice Aug. 20.
Now, they're trying to lead their team back.
The Bruins got their football season underway Wednesday as prep teams across the state were allowed to practice for the first time in preparation of their 2014 campaigns. Cascade's seniors are the last remnants of a football team that went 0-10 their freshman year, a bit of ignominy that was part of a 23-game losing streak.
The Mt. Pilchuck hike "was the best workout I've ever had," senior running back/defensive back Kejuan Coleman said. "... Our theme this year is, 'Finish the fight.' Every single senior on this field — everybody on this field — is out here trying to finish the fight, and finish what we started."
In a breakout season a year ago, the Bruins finished 9-2 and made it to the 4A state tournament. That came on the heals of a 5-5 season two years ago.
For the Bruins' seniors to finish what they started, they will have to find success without head coach Joe Cronin, the architect of the Bruins' turnaround the past two seasons. He stepped down in June to tend to his daughter Kylie, born 80 days premature.
Interim coach Eric Dinwiddie and the rest of the Cascade coaching staff remained and are hoping to continue Cascade's improvement.
Losing Cronin was "heartbreaking," senior tight end/linebacker Hamilton Kendrick said, but added, "we're a team built on adversity.
"We play through the problems. We've had to deal with a lot problems. We came back from 0-23. I don't know a team that had more adversity than we've had. We've had to deal with a lot and we can stand it."
Dinwiddie and his assistants, the bulk of whom have coached the Bruins for two seasons and assisted at Lake Stevens together for four years before that, decided to stay together to help the Cascade team finish the fight.
"We decided to take this on," Dinwiddie said. "Not me as an interim head coach. It's a group process. You don't replace a guy like Joe. But us, together, have worked to organize ourselves to fill in the holes we're missing.
"But we know we're missing a guy."
The Bruins' coaching staff has done everything it can to ensure that as little as possible has changed from last season.
"We bring the same philosophy," Dinwiddie said. "We're going to care for kids, outwork teams (and) we're going to be running similar systems the best we can."
The players have done their part, spending the offseason in the weight room — some their 2013 season ended in November — and are doing all they can to get better to continue Cascade's success.
"The transformation has really been crazy," senior quarterback/linebacker Malik Rackliff said. "As a freshman being 0-10, then 5-5 and then going to the state playoffs last year was incredible. I'm just really excited to see this upcoming year. I want to better that."
The players say the pride in the football team has skyrocketed at Cascade High School.
"My freshman year I was able to point out my parents in the stands because (the bleachers) were so empty at our games," senior lineman Kelsi Colon said. "But last year I couldn't tell anyone apart. The whole stands were full. It was great. Freshman year, the varsity players were embarrassed to wear their jerseys. Now, I wish I could wear mine every day."
Part of that pride led to the 2.5-mile hike up Mt. Pilchuck, which gave the players a chance to talk and plan out the season ahead.
"It was a great bonding experience," Kendrick said. "Once you start walking, and you run out of cell service, there's nothing to do but talk."
Dinwiddie, a line coach, and his fellow "big guys" also made the trek as the Bruins laid out their goals for the 2014 season.
"They wanted to come out and finish this thing that we started three years ago: to bring Cascade back to prominence," Dinwiddie said. "To maintain the pride that we have and play football the right way. The way Coach Cronin started and the way we know is right — by working hard and taking care of each other."
Finishing the fight also means taking care of another piece of unfinished business, players said.
"We want to win a Wesco (4A) title," Coleman said. "We talked about it last year, too. We made one slip up in the Edmonds-Woodway game that impacted us for the rest of the season.
"But our goals are just to get better every single game and make sure we're always outworking our opponents."

About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineries
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

It's an exciting time for shelter pets in New York City. This Sunday in Union Square, Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C) will unveil its first dedicated Mobile Adoption Center.
The state-of-the-art adoptions vehicle will enable AC&C to bring adoptable animals to previously unreachable New Yorkers throughout the City's five boroughs. The vehicle was purchased with the help of a $60,000 grant from the ASPCA and a $60,000 donation from Fenwick Keats Real Estate.
AC&C's three full-service Care Centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island are open for adoptions seven days a week, but its facilities in the Bronx and Queens are Pet Receiving Centers and do not serve adopters. With approximately 30,000 cats, dogs and other animals in need coming to AC&C each year, this new Mobile Adoption Center will play a vital role in increasing adoptions as well as raising awareness of shelter pets in need.
We're excited to be part of this important initiative for animals in New York City. If you're in the area, please join us for the AC&C Mobile Adoption Center's unveiling and a special adoption event this Sunday, February 9 at 11:00 A.M. in the Union Square Park North Plaza (East 17th Street between Broadway and Park Ave.). We hope to see you there!
I hope Baby gets adopted by an amazing family. Love your good works!
Is there a schedule of times and locations the Mobile Center will be? Or is it stationed in Union Square for now? Thanks!
You can find the schedule for the ASPCA's mobile adoption center here: http://www.aspca.org/nyc/adoption-center/mobile-adoption-calendar-locations. You can visit www.nycacc.org to view AC&C's mobile adoption schedule.

There were signs of life from a dejected Kinston team as it dug up answers for North Lenoir's hitters, but the effort wasn't enough to stop the Hawks from sweeping the Vikings for the second time this season.
North Lenoir (13-2, 5-1) travelled to Kinston and defeated the winless Vikings, 3-0 (25-16, 25-14, 25-6) Tuesday. The Hawks were up 15-6 in Set 1, and Kinston rallied to narrow the lead to 16-12.
North Lenoir came out stronger in the next two sets to solidify the sweep.
"Nobody's going to lie down and let you beat them," NL coach Heather Carson said. "You have to keep coming at them and keep coming at them. You've got to play aggressive the whole time."
After giving up a combined 30 points to Kinston in the first two sets, the Hawks held the Vikings to only six points in the final game. North Lenoir often out-hustled Kinston in saving balls and managing errors in the final set.
NL's Mya Parks recorded three of her seven kills in the last set --- one of which won the game.
"I think we just worked hard," said Parks, a sophomore. "We worked together to get good passes and good sets and just killed it."
NL's Laura Haerer had six kills at the end of Set 1, which was double what the entire Kinston team had at that point. She finished with seven kills Tuesday, while setter Sydnee Hudson notched 25 assists.
Kinston had nine assists total, with three coming from Shannon Mayo. Three Vikings had two kills apiece, while Lydia Rivers led Kinston with two blocks. She was also big on defense with 14 digs.
In Set 2, Rivers looked like she was kicking into gear when one of her hard hits was kept alive by North Lenoir's Blythe Greene, who recorded 15 digs Tuesday. Kinston's best effort came in the second set, as the Vikings were blocking well and stayed on pace with North Lenoir early on.
But it was late service aces from North Lenoir that hurt the Vikings in Set 3. NL's Dani Moulton --- who led all with nine kills --- tacked four of her six aces towards the end of the last set, as Kinston's frustration became visible.
"We're having a tough time, we've had a tough time this season coming together as a team," said Kinston coach Leisa Evans, who noted some key players were injured Tuesday. "(Injuries) hurt us tonight, just not having everybody ready to go, (but) they're not giving up and neither am I."
Kinston (0-12) travels to Goldsboro Thursday, while North Lenoir hosts Greene Central in more Eastern Carolina 2A conference games.

2006 Signing
On November 21, 2006 a pioneer of aerial photography, Mary Meader, placed her signature on the Fliers' & Explorers' Globe at a special ceremony in her honor held at the Upjohn Center on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
Actually, Ms. Meader wrote her name on the globe in two places, something only three of the more than 70 previous signers have been invited to do. She wrote her name across East Africa and across the Andes, commemorating the pioneering aerial photography she carried out in 1937-1939 in Africa and South America with her then husband, Richard Upjohn Light. Light was the pilot and mechanic on those ventures. Ms. Meader was the photographer, navigator, and radio operator.
Flying a single engine plane, with unheated and unpressurized cabin, the couple sucked oxygen from a tank using wooden mouthpieces, and Ms. Meader wore a fur coat and boots as she shot pictures through an open window. Since she weighed only 95 pounds herself, shebraced the 20-pound camera on the window frame and secured it with a clothesline.
Something of the quality and significance of the photographic record Ms. Meader created can be seen in a permanent exhibit at the Upjohn Center and in a traveling exhibit of her work created by Monica Barnes of the Society of Woman Geographers.
On October 10, 2005, when Mary Upjohn Meader was made an Honorary Fellow of the American Geographical Society, the citation read termed her a geographer, photographer, scholar, and explorer. It applauded her keen and curious eye for uncovering information about the unknown. The stunning quality of her photography shows not only her skill and her artistry but her passion for conveying new knowledge about remote places on Earth. With hercamera, Mary Upjohn Meader captured the lives and landscapes of traditions and cultures in Africa and Latin America that no longer exist. Because of that, her work has taken on ever greater significance in today's rapidly changing world.
By inviting her to inscribe her name on the Flyers' & Explorers' Globe, the American Geographical Societycelebrates the courage, vision, and spirit with which Mary Upjohn Meader pursued "research from above" in circumstances too difficult and dangerous for us to imagine today.

Leipzig Endangered Languages Archive (LELA)
Background and Policies
The Leipzig Endangered Languages Archive (LELA) was founded in 2005 to offer digital archiving services for linguistic data collected by members of the greater Leipzig linguistics community. It is based at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI EVA) Department of Linguistics.
LELA's primary function is the preservation of digital linguistic materials and the dissemination of those materials to members of the academic community or speaker communities with a valid interest in accessing their content. In this role, LELA allows researchers funded by MPI EVA to fulfill their obligations to leave copies of the materials they collect or work on using MPI funds with the Max Planck Society.
LELA cannot offer archiving services for physical materials (e.g., cassette tapes or field notes). However, in certain cases, it may be possible for LELA to digitize such materials for depositors, thus allowing the content of those recordings to be archived with LELA.
It is the responsibility of the depositor to work out with LELA staff appropriate means for ensuring proper metadata is associated with deposited materials.
LELA has no plans at present for creating an open web-based resource dissemination system. Requests for materials will have to be directed to appropriate members of the archive's staff. There are plans in the near future to allow LELA's metadata to be disseminated so outsiders can discover what materials are in the archive.
Eligible depositors:
Members of the "greater Leipzig linguistics community" are eligible to make use of LELA's services. This includes employees and guests of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI EVA) who conduct linguistic research and linguists based at the University of Leipzig. In some cases, researchers with less tangible connections to the Leipzig linguistics community may also be eligible to use LELA's services.
Archivable materials:
At present, LELA archives digital audio files, digital images (including scanned images), documents in plain or marked-up text, and documents in PDF format. LELA has not yet begun to archive video, though it will consider doing so if a depositor has significant video recordings relevant to the archive's mission.
Metadata standards:
LELA uses the IMDI metadata standard to organize materials in the archive, and is collaborating with the Technical Group at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen to participate in a general architecture for Language Archiving Technology
Contact: For more information about LELA, please contact Sven Grawunder (grawunder@[>>> Please remove the brackets! <<<]eva.mpg.de) or Claudia Bavero (claudia_bavero@[>>> Please remove the brackets! <<<]eva.mpg.de).

For years, there has been someone in our building who just leaves tubs of candy at the entrance to his cubicle, and invites all to partake. Recently, I found the broken cookie store. They get all of the factory seconds from the local Dare (cookie) factory, and put them into 13lb boxes, which they sell for $15.
I buy the boxes two at a time, and leave them open and inviting on the desk next to mine, which is currently unoccupied. Two boxes tends to last about three weeks. So, for ten bucks a week, I have made myself indispensible in this office. I even have the executive vice president stopping in every now and again for a free cookie.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
As part of a general health checkup, to determine your nutritional status or to screen for and help diagnose certain liver and kidney disorders as well as other diseases
When to Get Tested?
When you have a routine physical exam or when you experience unexpected weight loss or fatigue, or when your doctor thinks that you have symptoms of a liver or kidney disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by fingerstick (adults and children) or heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues; they are important for body growth, development, and health. They form the structural part of most organs and make up enzymes and hormones that regulate body functions. This test measures the total amount of the various types of proteins in the liquid (plasma) portion of the blood.
Two classes of proteins are found in the blood, albumin and globulin. Albumin makes up about 60% of the total protein. Produced by the liver, albumin serves a variety of functions including as a carrier protein for many small molecules and ions, as a source of amino acids for tissue metabolism, and as the principle component involved in maintaining osmotic pressure (preventing fluid from leaking out of blood vessels). The remaining 40% of proteins in the plasma are referred to as globulins. The globulin proteins are a heterogeneous group. They include enzymes, antibodies, hormones, carrier proteins, and numerous other types of proteins. The ratio of albumin to globulin (A/G ratio) is calculated from measured albumin and calculated globulin (total protein - albumin).
The level of total protein in the blood is normally a relatively stable value, reflecting a balance in loss of old protein molecules and production of new protein molecules.
Total protein may decrease in conditions:
- Where production of albumin or globulin proteins is impaired, such as malnutrition or severe liver disease
- That accelerate the breakdown or loss of protein, such as kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome)
- That increase/expand plasma volume (diluting the blood), such as congestive heart failure
Total protein may increase with conditions that cause:
- Abnormally high production of protein (e.g., inflammatory disorders, multiple myeloma)
- Dehydration
The A/G ratio may change whenever the proportions of albumin and other proteins shift (increase or decrease) in relationship to each other.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or by a fingerstick (for children and adults) or heelstick (for newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Just how low are scammers willing to go? Consider what happened just last week to a Mercer County woman, who was contacted by a man claiming he represented the federal Drug Enforcement Agency.
The man claiming to be a DEA agent told the unsuspecting woman that federal authorities were going to arrest her because dietary supplements she had purchased online contained crack cocaine. The woman was concerned — as would most citizens who receive such a call would be.
However, it soon became clear to the woman that the man claiming to be a DEA agent was in fact a scammer. He told the woman there was a way out of the federal charges. And of course it involved giving out either bank account information, credit cards or Social Security numbers. In another words, he was trying to gain access to her personal information — and her bank account in particular.
The woman, who requested that her name not be used in print, said the first call arrived on a Monday. It was a message left on her answering machine stating the DEA needed her to call. The number had a Washington area code, so it seemed legitimate at least for the moment. …
The woman wisely realized it was a scam, and the told the man that his claim was "ridiculous" and an obvious scam. She then correctly reported the caller — and the phone numbers left on her answering machine — to the West Virginia State Police.
As scams targeting folks in the region continue to become more elaborate, area residents are reminded of the need to be extra vigilant. And with the looming Oct. 1 implementation date of Obamacare, we are already seeing an increase in scams related to the new Affordable Care Act law.

Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.
Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
Cakes are broadly divided into several categories, based primarily on ingredients and cooking techniques.
Beyond these classifications, cakes can be classified based on their appropriate accompaniment (such as coffee cake), contents (e.g. fruitcake or flourless chocolate cake), or occasion (wedding cake, birthday cake, or Passover plava, a type of Jewish sponge cake sometimes made with matzo meal).
Cakes may be small and intended for individual consumption (for example madeleines and cupcakes). Larger cakes may be made with the intention of being sliced and served as part of a meal or social function. The cutting of a wedding cake constitutes a social ceremony in some cultures. The Ancient Roman marriage ritual of confarreatio originated in the sharing of a cake.
Particular types of cake may be associated with particular festivals, such as stollen (at Christmas), babka and simnel cake (at Easter), or mooncake.
Some varieties of cake are widely available in the form of cake mixes, wherein some of the ingredients (usually flour, sugar, flavoring, baking powder, and sometimes some form of fat) are premixed, and the cook needs add only a few extra ingredients, usually eggs, water, and sometimes vegetable oil or butter. Such mixes are available under a number of brand names, including Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, and Pillsbury; while the diversity of represented styles is limited, cake mixes do provide an easy and readily available homemade option for cooks who are not accomplished bakers.
Special cake flour with a high starch:gluten ratio is made from fine-textured, soft, low-protein wheat. It is strongly bleached, and compared to all-purpose flour, cake flour tends to result in cakes with a lighter, less dense texture. Therefore, it is frequently specified or preferred in cakes meant to be soft, light, and or bright white, such as angel cake. However, cake flour is generally not considered mandatory for good results, and its effect on the cake's texture can readily be simulated by adding corn starch and/or baking soda to all-purpose flour Some recipes explicitly specify or permit all-purpose flour, notably where a firmer or denser cake texture is desired.
A finished cake is often enhanced by covering it with icing, or frosting, and toppings such as sprinkles, which are also known as "jimmies" in certain parts of the United States and "hundreds and thousands" in the United Kingdom. Frosting is usually made from powdered (icing) sugar, sometimes a fat of some sort, milk or cream, and often flavorings such as vanilla extract or cocoa powder. Some decorators use a rolled fondant icing. Commercial bakeries tend to use lard for the fat, and often whip the lard to introduce air bubbles. This makes the icing light and spreadable. Home bakers either use lard, butter, margarine or some combination thereof. Sprinkles are small firm pieces of sugar and oils that are colored with food coloring. In the late 20th century, new cake decorating products became available to the public. These include several specialized sprinkles and even methods to print pictures and transfer the image onto a cake.
Special tools are needed for more complex cake decorating, such as piping bags or syringes, and various piping tips. To use a piping bag or syringe, a piping tip is attached to the bag or syringe using a coupler. The bag or syringe is partially filled with icing which is sometimes colored. Using different piping tips and various techniques, a cake decorator can make many different designs. Basic decorating tips include open star, closed star, basketweave, round, drop flower, leaf, multi, petal, and specialty tips.
Royal icing, marzipan (or a less sweet version, known as almond paste), fondant icing (also known as sugarpaste) and buttercream are used as covering icings and to create decorations. Floral sugarcraft or wired sugar flowers are an important part of cake decoration. Cakes for special occasions, such as wedding cakes, are traditionally rich fruit cakes or occasionally Madeira cakes (also known as whisked or fatless sponge), that are covered with marzipan and either iced using royal icing or sugarpaste. They are finished with piped borders (made with royal icing) and adorned with a piped message, wired sugar flowers, hand-formed fondant flowers, marzipan fruit, piped flowers, or crystallized fruits or flowers such as grapes or violets.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
I would like the see the abusers of animals treated the way that they have treated the animal, with no BS outcries from human rights groups. These people need to understand that if they abuse an animal they are going to jail, get a fine and be banned from having animals for the rest of their lives.
There is a direct correlation between animal abuse and abuse of children. Those who abuse animals will in-turn abuse children. The are directly linked.
They should not give a slap on the wrist. Let him stay a long time in jail for what he did. There are prisoners that are animal lovers if they found what he had done to these angels.
This is just deplorable. One of my rescue kitties was abandoned in an apartment where the maintenance crew found him. He is such an awesome little guy. For many people, animals are like trash... disposable when they are done with them. We need much stricter penalties.
too bad someone didn't take both of them - everything they have been through together - I would have taken both! Just sayin'
The penalties need to be much stifffer. How long before we take seriously the connection between animal cruelty and other offenses. Look at what just happened in Jersey. The man was killing cats before he stabbed that woman in Bed Bath and beyond.
why would this be a misdemeanor????
what is wrong with the State of New York that they would not have laws mandating stricter punishment for this type of crime!!
I have absolutely ZERO tolerance when it comes to animal cruelty. I wish the person(s)who is guilty of such inhumane acts as starving their pets - have to endure the same torture for the same amount of time the pets did. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for animal cruelty! NONE WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Immanuel Kant stated, "We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." It is obvious that this man has NO HEART. I agree that the punishment for animal cruelty is not harsh enough. These crimes continue and often lead to abuse of humans. It should be dealt with immediately and in a much harsher way.
Why did this moron get these animals in the first place? People who can sleep at night after doing something like this own a special place in hell...

The bright side: The tagline, "Hail to the V," lives on in less anatomically suggestive ads.
