News About Ösel
On February 19, Tenzin Ösel Hita, the recognized reincarnation of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe, made a surprise visit to Malaysian center Losang Dragpa Centre to participate in its Guru Puja for Losar, Tibetan New Year. Just before the puja began, Ösel gave a short talk, which was transcribed by Carolyn Chan and edited by Yeo Puay Huei and Mandala for publication on FPMT.org:
"I just wanted to mention something quickly. The prayers that you are reciting refer to emptiness. I read somewhere not so long ago that quantum mechanics actually says 99.999% of atoms are empty. When we talk about material things, that which we can really touch or is tangible is only 0.001% of the atom. This means that if only the tangible parts of all the atoms of human beings were put together, all 7 billion humans would fit in a single sugar cube. Can you imagine that? Scientists are saying that all 7 billion humans could fit in a sugar cube. That is how 'empty' we are.
"It is very funny how in this age, spirituality and quantum mechanics are coming together. Their paths have finally crossed. We are living in an age, a very, very big crystal age where thousands of years have passed and people have evolved a little bit. Times have changed: science has evolved, spirituality has evolved, but people are not ready for this kind of information.
"Three thousand years ago in Egypt, there was a pharaoh called Akhenaten. He started a revolution because he could not agree that there were many gods. He tried to explain to the people that the real god is within yourself. You possess the path within yourself. He was way ahead of his time. People did not understand. People were not prepared for that. So there was a huge revolution. Now here, 3,000 years later, we are actually ready for this kind of thinking. We have passed the Dark Ages, we went through the Middle Stone Age, we have been through World Wars. Now, finally people have the means to see all of these and learn from past mistakes. So, we are very lucky to be here at this age, today, everyday; this moment is very lucky. Of course, we think of the time as it is. Time has changed as it is.
"When talking about spirituality, we say that time is precious. We are here, with the precious human rebirth, possibly only once because they say human rebirth is like a turtle which comes up from the ocean bed only once every 100 years. In that vast ocean is a floating ring and this turtle comes up only once every 100 years. What are the chances of it placing its head through that ring? That is how difficult it is to get the precious human rebirth. That is the metaphor Tibetan Buddhism gives us to understand how lucky we are. This is something for us to cherish all the time.
"But then, we live in a society where the education system teaches us always to cherish ourselves and to think about ourselves, 'me, me, me,' right ? Capitalism is based on that. If people stop thinking like that, capitalism will fall apart. So, I am not saying this is good or bad, I am only saying it is good to be aware of this. Because the moment we stop only cherishing ourselves, we can actually start cherishing other people. When it really happens, it really starts feeling good. If everybody did that, thinking about the person next to you before you think about yourself, what a beautiful, lucky place. There will be no war, no famine, no hardship. You should really think about this and check it out. The more you think about yourself, the more you are going to suffer. If you think about the person next to you more than yourself, all you have is happiness. Your well-being will be linked to the universe, linked to karma and linked to human mind. Buddhism says this, so I do not have to say it. All of you know it. I think this important point should be put into practice and not just doing meditation or reading a book or coming to a puja, although these are also very good in making imprints and keeping us on the right path.
"The most important moment is when you put this cherishing others into practice, then it is like the phrase, 'When the shit hits the fan,' it spreads everywhere; it's a strong metaphor! Keep the middle path. Think about the other person more than yourself. Even if you are suffering, forget about that. Think about the person next to you. For me, it is very easy to say, but very difficult to do. I also have a lot of suffering, difficulties and many frustrations. When these happen, I would do my best to think about the other person. But even then, it is so hard. After I make all the mistakes and mess up everything, I sit down and think, 'Ah! I wish I had thought about it before. Now it is too late.' Still, you can learn from your mistakes and slowly, slowly make an effort to be a better person and try to make the person next to you happier. This is my advice from my experience and difficulties that I have gone through. We are all going through this in the same way. So it is not like I am speaking and you think I am enlightened – blah, blah, blah – because I am not. (Laughter) I am of the worst quality.
"You know we cannot change the world, but what we can do is change ourselves. And that is the first step. So, we focus on that, OK? That's the first step."

When the Mind Gets in the Way
A message from Ösel Hita
What to do when our mind gets in the way of finding peace of mind and comfort with oneself? Even though the circumstances are amazing, if our mind is unhappy then it makes no difference. The same is true if we have horrible circumstances. If our mind is happy, then everything becomes positive. The more we desire the less we have. The more we have the more we desire. The less we desire the more we have. When we let desire get in the way, forget about keeping your peace of mind.
¿Qué hacemos cuando nuestra mente nos impide encontrar paz mental y bienestar con uno mismo? Aunque las circunstancias sean increíbles, si nuestra mente es infeliz entonces no hay diferencia. Lo mismo pasa si tenemos circunstancias horribles, pero nuestra mente es feliz, entonces todo es positivo. Cuanto más deseamos, menos tenemos. Cuanto más tenemos, más deseamos. Cuanto menos deseamos más tenemos. Cuando permitimos que el deseo se interponga en tu camino, olvídate de mantener paz mental.

February is a month when the incomparable kindness of Lama Yeshe comes to mind.
Thirty-one years ago this year, on Losar (celebrated on February 19 in 2015), FPMT's precious founder, Lama Yeshe passed away. A year later, on February 12, 1985, Tenzin Ösel Hita was born in Spain and soon after was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the unmistaken reincarnation of Lama Yeshe. Tenzin Ösel was enthroned in March 1987 at Tushita Retreat Center in Dharamsala, India.
In recent years, FPMT students have been so happy to stay closely connected to Tenzin Ösel through his personal messages via social media.
The Big Love Fund was established by remembering the kindness of Lama Yeshe and wanting to offer support to Tenzin Ösel's educational endeavors. As Tenzin Ösel finds his own unique way of benefiting others, this fund is one way that FPMT is able to support and encourage him.
Please rejoice in the incredible kindness of Lama Yeshe and join us in celebrating Tenzin Ösel's thirty years among us.
Later in 2015, Tenzin Ösel (pictured above drumming in Bali earlier this year) is leading a pilgrimage to India and Nepal from April 12-26, 2015. Details of this pilgrimage, along with information on how to book, can be found by visiting Más Allá del Viaje (Beyond the Journey).
You are welcome to offer any amount to the Big Love Fund in support of Tenzin Ösel's educational endeavors. You can learn more about the fund, or more about Tenzin Ösel and his current activities.

This pilgrimage will benefit from Ösel's extensive knowledge, his unique experience with the Tibetan culture, and his many years of spiritual practice.
Details of this pilgrimage, along with information on how to book your spot, can be found by visiting the Más Allá del Viaje (Beyond the Journey) website.

Osel Shares His Insight
Earlier this month Ösel shared his philosophical insight about the universe and one's relation to it and others on his Facebook page. Please enjoy his unique and thoughtful perspective:
The universe has a perfect design and the more I live the more I see it. It is always on target, the dates and times, moments and spaces, movements and encounters. All so perfectly coordinated. Look at every present situation, it's spectacular! All of us in a material form with the capacity to comprehend and digest the creation of life, form, energy, sound, smell… every instance! So many variations in existence, each step, each thought we are creating a whole new universe. How amazing is that!? Look into someone's eyes and behold the window to their soul, the galaxy, the universe. That is us, that is you, that is me, that is all.

Wisdom from Osel
Occasionally Ösel shares his thoughts and experiences on his Facebook page. In this recent update, he reminds us that we are all connected and encourages us to go within to understand our own thoughts and intentions, rather than worrying about other people's thoughts, words or actions.
Stop fooling yourself and wake up, open your eyes. We are all free interdependent souls; walk and you will see how far you go. Look back, but walk forward. Life gets complicated when you have a material body, but if you investigate inside and observe your mind you will see that it is very simple. Just being the self, aware that you are the captain of your boat, and the rest will fall into place. You have got to find the limits inside yourself, not from external agents, be a warrior and forget about what other people do or say. Forget for the time being about other people's thoughts words, or actions. Go for the intentions and thoughts inside yourself. Everything starts there, after that you can worry about the words and actions that define YOU. You cannot see it in others without a subjective interpretation, so for the moment forget about them. Focus on what you have inside. Without the ignorance of illusion we have no separation from the rest. Separation is an illusion.
Deja de engañarte a tí mism@ y despierta; abre los ojos. Todos somos almas libres interdependientes; comienza a dar pasos, y podrás ver lo lejos que llegas. Mira hacia atrás, pero camina hacia delante. La vida se complica cuando tienes un cuerpo material, pero si investigas dentro y observas nuestra mente verás que es muy simple. Siendo tu mismo, y reconociendo que tu eres el capitán de tu barco, el resto caerá en su lugar. Debes encontrar los límites dentro de uno mism@, no a través de agentes externos, sé un guerrero y olvídate de lo que piensan, hacen o dicen otras personas. Ve a por las intenciones y pensamientos dentro de ti mism@. Todo empieza ahí, después preocúpate de las palabras y acciones que TE definen. Es difícil no verlo en los demás sin un punto subjetivo propio, por lo tanto olvídate de ell@s por el momento. Focaliza en lo que tienes dentro. Sin la ignorancia de la ilusión no hay separación del resto. La separación es una ilusión.

A Message from Osel Hita
Occasionally Ösel shares his thoughts and experiences on his Facebook page. In this recent update, he sends a message to his friends, reminding that we are all connected. Ösel is now living in Ibiza, Spain, after studying in the United States for the past year.
Each of us has our own path and existence. We are all experiencing the same reality within our own reality. YOU. If YOU know yourself well then you can understand everything. We are born alone, and we will die alone. Everything in between is momentary illusion. That is why it's so important to know oneself and feel free of all mental slavery. Our mind can be our best friend, but if we are not careful the mind can become our worst enemy too. Every moment is magic, and we are all living the same moment! We are all connected and I love you all so much! Thank you for being who YOU are!! OneLove
Cada uno tenemos nuestro propio camino y existencia. Estamos todos experimentando la misma realidad dentro de nuestra propia realidad. TÚ. Si TÚ te conoces bien, entonces puedes comprender todo. Nacemos solos, y morimos solos, todo el resto es ilusión temporal. Por eso es tan importante conocerse a uno mismo y sentirse libre de la esclavitud mental. Nuestra mente puede ser nuestro mejor amigo, pero si nos descuidamos la mente puede llegar a ser nuestro peor enemigo. Cada momento es mágico, y ¡Todos estamos viviendo el mismo momento! Estamos todos conectados y ¡Os quiero a todos muchísimo! ¡Gracias por ser quien TÚ eres! Onelove

An Update on Osel Hita
After Ösel finished his semester of studies in Hawaii, he headed back to his home country of Spain. On the way, he stopped into California and visited Lama Zopa Rinpoche several times.
One afternoon, Ösel offered drumming to Rinpoche and the Sangha at Kachoe Dechen Ling who enjoyed it very much. Then Rinpoche personally supervised and helped make dinner for Ösel, a delicious thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup).
Ösel is now returning to Spain and later in the year he will be going to India to take teachings from his teacher, Geshe Gendun Chomphel.

Good human qualities… honesty, sincerity, a good heart, cannot be bought with money, nor can they be produced by machines, but only by the mind itself. We call this the inner light, or God's blessing, or human quality. This is the essence of mankind.

HYDERABAD: M. S. K. Prasad, the first player from Andhra to represent India in Tests and ODIs, announced his retirement from all forms of the game here on Tuesday.
The former India wicketkeeper, who played in six Tests and 17 ODIs, said he took the decision to give talented young players in Andhra a chance to stake their claims.
"In fact, I have been asked by the ACA secretary V. Chamundeswaranath to continue for one more season as the Association has started taking innovative steps to give a new look to the sport. Even though I am very thankful for the gesture, I felt that it was time to quit. And I don't have any regrets upon looking back," he said.
"It was a huge honour to represent the country at the highest level, and especially being the first one to do so from Andhra.
"That too at a time when everyone gave very little chance for cricketers from the State to even represent the South Zone," the 33-year-old Prasad said. — Principal Correspondent

The First Part Last (2003)
by Angela Johnson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The First Part Last By: Angela Johnson. This book makes it feel like real life. Bobby just a normal teen boy living high school years. But he soon finds out that him and his girlfriend Nia will have there life's changed in 9 months by a baby girl named Feather. They soon have to take responsibilities of parenthood, especially Bobby, he soon realizes this baby he will be raising on his own. This book didn't have chapters it went like "now" and "then". What was happening now he had flashbacks to when Nia was pregnant. This book I loved because it really showed how Bobby stepped up and became the father he needed to be for Feather and then he found out Nia was ill and pronounced brain dead during the pregnancy, then he knew he would have to raise this child on his own. Bobby is a great father and the love he has for his daughter is unconditional. This book I recommend reading because it really does show life lessons and it is a great book to explain teen pregnancy. Bobby had his life change with a baby girl, school and Nia condition but he made it through and was the father he was suppose to be. I was very impressed with this book.
Bobby tries to explain how he got to where he is now: a sixteen-year-old single father in New York City, with a baby girl he loves more than anything. A very short, very powerful book told in a non-linear fashion. Highly, highly recommended.
A quick read and an excellent recommendation for those wanting realistic fiction on teen pregnancy. I loved the character, Bobby, who although he was not prepared to become a teen father, stepped up and adjusted his priorities.
In this thrilling book, 16-year-old Bobby is quickly thrust into the responsibilities of adulthood when his girlfriend, Nia, has a baby and Bobby is expected to raise the baby without much assistance. This book is fast-paced and easy to read as well as compelling and enlightening. It is an especially effective hi-lo (high interest, low reading level) book for struggling young adult readers. However, all readers should find it equally readable and riveting. Told through the perspective of Bobby, the chapters in the book alternate between "now" and "then," with Bobby alternating descriptions of his current situation with flashbacks to the story of Nia's pregnancy. Author Angela Johnson has painted such a realistic portrait of Bobby and his struggles that readers will be caught up in his emotions and thoughts and feel for him as the story moves along. Many readers will be able to relate to the book's themes of family, responsibility, and coming of age. This book could be used to teach older middle school/high school students about teenage pregnancy, its consequences, and how to protect against it.

Review's text:
The First Part Last by Angela Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bobby is the typical teenager. He hangs out with his friends, has a girlfriend, and goes to school. When Bobby's girlfriend tells him she's pregnant, Bobby thinks that worse has happened. Unfortunately for Bobby, there were more hardships to come.
The book is not written in chronological order. In addition to being a unique take on teen pregnancy, this book adds more interesting perspectives of storytelling. Students might be able to learn a new style or even just learn from Bobby's experiences.
I really enjoyed this book. While I was concerned that it would upset me (given my closeness to teen pregnancy) – the book did just the opposite. I did almost cry at one point, but because I could feel Bobby's pain – not because of stupid choices made.
View all my reviews
What I Want to Add:
I didn't even realize that this was part of a series until after I read the book and went to review it on goodreads. I'm not sure if I want to read the other books in this series, but would not be opposed to checking them out (if that makes sense…). I borrowed this book from a professor.
I was really worried given the fact that it was written about teenage parents – something that I care deeply about. I was afraid of the book's characters – that they would be stereotypical and trashy. I was surprised (mostly happily surprised) by the twist in what could have easily been another episode of Sixteen and Pregnant. Having the father being more involved than the mother was pretty awesome!
I wasn't expecting the big plot twist. I wont ruin it now – but will tell you that there is one.
Honestly I skimmed a lot of this book when I read it. It wasn't that it was poorly written or anything like that – I just had a lot of stuff going on in my life. I did get through the whole thing in a matter of hours – very easy to read.
I would recommend this book for older middle school students (and above). While some may fear that this will cause more teenage pregnancies (a fear that I do not understand at all!) – well… I have no response to those who fear this book. Guys might be interested in it to see that they (as potential fathers) have a say as well!
My rating: 4/5 stars

Inside Air Travel.
Airports, Airport retailers missing opportunities to serve and generate revenue from travelers Airports and airport retailers looking to better serve and generate more revenue from todayOs time-starved and mobile-enabled travelers are missing opportunities to do so, according to a survey of travelers in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for NCR Corporation, a leader in airline and airport self-service, retail, wayfinding and mobile solutions. According to the survey, 23% of travelers in Germany, 30% in France, 34% in the United Kingdom and 35% in the United States said they find it difficult to find the stores, restaurants and other retail offerings at airports in the limited amount of time they have. Considering that over 1.5 billion people travel by air each year, these findings represent a huge amount of lost revenue potential from travelers who may have been interested in making purchases at an airport retailer, restaurant or service provider but feared getting lost or missing a flight because they werenOt sure where the outlets were located. Airports have seen an increase in non-aeronautical revenue in recent years and are increasingly looking to boost this revenue as airline consolidation and other factors cut the revenue airports can generate from airlines. Expanding retail, restaurant and service operations and encouraging more travelers to shop while at the airport are key places airports are looking for these dollars. OThis survey highlights the vast untapped potential airports still have to serve travelers who have the time and inclination to shop,O said Tyler Craig, vice president and general manager, NCR Travel. OAirports today get nearly 50% of their revenue from non-aviation sources. By employing some of the technologies used by todayOs retailers such as mobile marketing and interactive, digital signage, airports can more effectively communicate with and make offers to travelers, boosting revenue while making their airports more welcoming, entertaining and user-friendly.O In France, Germany and the United Kingdom, 65%, 57% and 53%, respectively, of survey participants agreed that an alert on their mobile phone letting them know they should begin making their way to their gate and showing them the way would encourage them to shop more and alleviate their fear of missing a flight (this question was not asked in the U.S. survey). Mobile solutions also have the potential to drive retail purchases at airport stores and restaurants, with 48% of travelers in Germany, 40% in the United States and 36% in both France and the United Kingdom listing ORetail or food discount coupons delivered to your mobile device or paper boarding passO as the top incentive to shop more at airports. Other technologies that might tempt travelers to shop more, according to the survey, include self-checkouts to speed retail transactions and endless aisle technology allowing shoppers to browse for and purchase merchandise not available in the airport store and having those items delivered to their homes following their trips. The survey uncovered a large segment of completely untapped potential customers, with 21% of travelers in the United States, 18% in France, 15% in Germany and 12% in the United Kingdom responding that they never purchase anything at the airport. Food, beverages and reading material like books, magazines and newspapers are among the most popular items travelers in the four countries said they purchase at the airport. In the United States, 73% of shoppers said they purchased food or drink at the airport, compared to 60% in the United Kingdom, 43% in Germany and only 23% in France. In the United Kingdom, 65% of travelers said they purchased books, newspapers or magazines at the airport, compared to 63% of travelers in Germany, 53% in France and 48% in the United States. Among items surveyed, only between 2% and 4% of travelers in the four countries surveyed indicated they had purchased services like manicures, massage, haircuts or business lounge access at airports. OItOs not surprising that services should be so low on the list,O Craig continued, Osince in many airports these services are newer offerings or offerings travelers may not know they can get at the airport. For the retailers offering such services, there may be opportunities to boost consideration and use with mobile- or printed-boarding pass advertising or offers. Airports may also consider wayfinding solutions as a way to direct travelers to these services to maximize revenue for the store owner and the airport.O NCR will be showcasing a variety of the companyOs travel and transaction solutions to address travelersO, airport operatorsO and retailersO needs in the airport retail and self-service environment at the upcoming Passenger Terminal Expo (PTE) in Vienna, Austria from April 18 to 20. NCR will be located in booth 4000. For more information about these survey results, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. The online surveys were conducted in March of 2012 in each country by ORC International for NCR. Approximately 1,000 consumers were surveyed in each country. Apr 19, 2012

Very nice!!!
Impressive... Loud sounding car for being stock.
(Christopher Shull)
Always seems overly quiet to me but then again I am inside the car and the sound is going out back the other way. It was very quiet when I made that pass, you hear the car because there were practically no other sounds and it echos off the tower and the empty stands. Listen in the video its very quiet except for the car sound.
The car is bone stock which of course includes the exhaust.
Go to the dealer and get a buddy to blast off in one while you stand at the curb, it will sound the same.
On other passes the car cannot be heard because of the normal track background noises, try this pass, a tenth lower but 1 mph faster:
Very very impressive iuse to own a 2004 g35 but it was stolen i now have an evo and a 2007 altima with nav pretty fast for front drive your car is very fast! Your a good driver also.

Tuesday's Great Gathering Press Conference at the National Press Club Postponed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ — The news conference involving the leadership of the three Black Methodist Churches, which had been scheduled for Tuesday, February 9th, at the National Press Club, has been postponed because of the snow storm that has crippled Washington.
The nation's three largest Black Methodist Church denominations had planned to pay tribute to Black History Month by announcing the formation of a historic coalition and plans to hold a major strategy summit in Columbia, S.C., March 1-3, 2010. Titled the "Great Gathering," the strategy session will seek to alter the troubling history of African American males by identifying and seeking unified solutions for the key issues that are devastating the African American community.
Information about rescheduling the news conference for later this month will be sent in the next few days.
Leading the press conference will be:
- Senior Bishop John R. Bryant of the African Methodist Episcopal Church;
- Senior Bishop George W.C. Walker of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church;
- Senior Bishop William H. Graves of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church; and
- U.S. House Representative James Clyburn, Democrat, South Carolina
The "Great Gathering" in Columbia, S.C., will bring together the Senior Bishops, politicians, church leaders, civic leaders, educators and others to develop initiatives to combat the myriad problems facing African American males from ages 12-25. Organizers of the event expect more than 6,000 attendees. Details about the "Great Gathering" can be found at www.greatgathering.org.

Ask Aunt Judith: Nature turns car trunk into a cooler
MMMM, PANCAKES! Get your holiday shopping started right on Saturday at Wesley United Methodist Church (1526 Weeks, behind A-1 Rental on Jacksboro Highway). The annual pancake breakfast is from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. with all-you-can-eat pancakes, bacon, sausage, coffee, juice and milk. It's $6 for adults and $3 for children 12 and younger. Bake sale and bazaar tables will also offer a chance to pick out some perfect presents or a treat just for yourself!
Dear Aunt Judith: We've been invited to join my husband's family in Jack County for Christmas dinner and everyone is supposed to bring a dish. What would you recommend that will travel well?
— T. Rumsey
A: Most room-temperature cakes and pies would be fine but since the good Lord provides free refrigeration in your car trunk around Christmastime, you might consider a gelatin salad. Something layered and seasonally colorful.
The only proviso is that temperatures the day of your trip must be 40 degrees or lower; otherwise be prepared to transport the dish inside a cooler equipped with ice bricks.
Because I'm not such a fan of green Jell-O, I prefer this version with a pretzel crust, cream cheese filling and strawberry topping. Made in a glass 9x13-inch dish, it travels well and will make quite an impression on the holiday buffet.
Makes 12-16 servings
1½ cups crushed pretzels
4 tablespoons white sugar
¾ cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 6-ounce package strawberry flavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 16-ounce package frozen strawberries
- Fresh mint sprigs
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pretzels, 4 tablespoons sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool completely.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl whip heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the gelatin mix and boiling water. Mix in frozen strawberries, stirring until thawed. Pour over cream cheese mixture in pan. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 3 hours. Garnish with fresh mint.
Note: You may substitute an 8-ounce container of frozen whipped topping, thawed, for the whipped cream.
Dear Aunt Judith: My grandmother used to make these little cookies at Christmas. The dough was pushed through a kind of gun that had different shapes to make trees and stars and things. Do they still make guns like that and do you have a recipe for the cookie dough?
— A Caller
A: It's called a cookie press and these traditional shortbread cookies are still a favorite at Christmas and other holidays. Look online at places like winton.com and kingarthurflour.com for presses that come with a variety of shaped dies.
Recipes for the cookie dough vary, flavored with vanilla, almond extract, anise, even lemon. For richer color if you choose to tint the dough, use paste color rather than liquid. If you want whiter cookies — for snowflake and snowman shapes — use colorless vanilla and other extracts.
If you have questions about food, cooking, kitchen equipment, dining or would like to publicize your organization's fundraising meal, write to me in care of What's Cookin' Judith, P.O. Box 120, Wichita Falls, TX 76307 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Makes 7-8 dozen cookies
3½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extract; mix well.
3. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat until combined. Do not chill. Fill cookie press with dough and with desired disks, press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet on cooling rack. Remove from sheet; cool completely.

Jeremy Lin played high school basketball in a gymnasium across the street from the Stanford campus. But the coaches there did not seriously recruit him. Neither did the coaches from U.C.L.A. The same for the coaches from many Ivy League universities.
"We all felt the same way: we could get better," said Steve Donahue, the former coach at Cornell.
The story of Lin's college recruitment illustrates how talent evaluators overlooked his ability even when Lin was young. It is something that was repeated in the professional ranks as he moved from Golden State to Houston to New York, where he has infected Knicks fans with Linsanity, becoming a sensation over five transcendent games.

SAHI appeals for assistance to the hearing-impaired
2,500 children born every year without ability to hearLess than 10 can afford a cochlear implant, the only cure
HYDERABAD: One has to listen with the heart and not merely with the ear, to understand the plight of nearly 2,500 children born every year in Andhra Pradesh without the ability to hear.
Less than 10 of these children can afford a cochlear implant, the only way they can listen to the varied sounds of life.
That is where the Society to Aid the Hearing Impaired (SAHI) hopes to make a difference. It has so far provided hearing aids to 151 children and helped 128 undergo surgeries to improve their hearing capabilities.
SAHI (www.sahiearcare.org) has now appealed for more help and has roped in Telugu pop singer Smitha and TV anchor Jhansi as brand ambassadors to spread awareness among the general population.
At a function organised on Saturday at Apollo Hospitals, Bellary-based industrialist Janardhan Reddy became the first sponsor for SAHI, announcing a donation of Rs. 10 lakhs per year for five years, for helping the hearing-impaired children while cricketer Kanwaljeet Singh also declared his support for the campaign, titled Gift a Ear Project.
Those interested in helping the children can contact SAHI secretary Dr. E.C. Vinay Kumar at email@example.com or over telephone number 23231075.

Like many others (see reviews for other colours) the lid catch broke after a few months.Was exchanged for a new one without hesitation but I fear it is a case of when this one will break rather than if.

Call Me Merman
Editorial Staff • West End • 30 Dec 2003
Call Me Merman is a tribute to the grand dame, here played by Angela Richards with hutzpah in numbers like "Make it Another Old Fashioned Please" and "Everything's Coming up Roses". We are at a rehearsal for a show she's about to take to Vegas. The company consists of Ethel, Kitty - who's to play the young Ethel in the show and Arly for the male parts. There's also the pianist Phil and the never seen director who speaks from the darkeness of the auditorium.
As the performers rehearse we are meant to get a sense of the 'real Merman' from her interactions with the others and her reaction to the news about whether or not she's got the role in the coveted film of Gypsy she so badly wants.
All the singers are certainly able, Richards' is ballsy and Susanna Fellows likeable as Kitty - although from time to time its hard to make out the lyrics she sings, even in the small Kings Head theatre. Mark White provides solid support as Arly borrowing from Ol' Blue Eyes in his delivery.
It's hard to locate director David Kernan's vision though. Nigel Hook's design is clearly a dingy rehearsal room, but the costumes suggest we are in the mid eighties- yet Merman died in 1984. The glitzy numbers certainly lose something being performed in jeans and scruffy jumpers, although Richards' costumes are stylish if dated.
John Kane's writing backs up the idea of Merman as a tough 'broad' and there are a few witty interjections but the majority of the humour comes from the anecdotes about her life. Ultimately though you never feel you get more than a superficial passing aquaintance with the woman.
Music-wise we get medleys from various shows - notably the current Anything Goes but the delivery and scale is sufficiently different to make this an enjoyable and worthy rendition. Ultimately though I'd really rather have seen the full stage glitzy show in Las Vegas than this mediocre, low key 'rehearsal' which was at best mildly diverting when it ought to have been arresting and show stopping.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the Publishero RT Book Reviews: 4 STARS "Jamieson creates an emotionally complex, well-written story about relationships. The moderate pace allows for absorption of details in this complex, affecting romance. Love scenes are alternately hot and tender"
o Joyfully Reviewed "Kelly Jamieson has taken an almost taboo subject and made it realistic. Add in a surprise I wasn't expecting and Lost and Found consumed me for the time it took me to read this enticing novel...Lost and Found stayed with me for hours after I finished reading. Nate and Krissa just worked for me and I wanted their happy ever after in the worst way! Kelly Jamieson now has a permanent place on my keeper shelf and I can't wait to see what she writes next."

Welcome to Student Affairs! We are glad you are here!
Beginning April 30th, the UTSA University Center will transform into the UTSA Study Center with expanded building hours in order to support students as they prepare for final exams.
"The Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Government Association approached us last semester about overcrowding in other study spaces on campus, as the heart of student life – we are happy to help in any way we can. Many student unions around the country expand their operating hours during finals, the UC is the UTSA student union and we are committed to student success,"
— Herb Ganey, Director of the University Center.
The UC North building will be open 24 hours each day, April 30th through May 7th and all rooms will be available for walk-up study space. On Friday, May 8th, the building will close at the regularly scheduled time (1am). During these dates, the HEB UC Building will also have all rooms available for students to use for studying, however the building hours will remain normal hours (7am-midnight).
In addition to study space, the UC supports UTSA students as they prepare for final exams through offering free massage chairs and snacks. Business Auxiliary Services and Aramark will also support this initiative by having Taco Cabana and the UC Starbucks open until 2am, April 30th – May 7th.
For additional information please contact the UC Information Center at 210-458-4735.
Roadrunner Productions has some exciting programs coming up in the near future, including:
On June 1, University Center Events Management & Conference Services will launch a new online event request form for Main Campus spaces scheduled by that office. The new form, which functions directly through the 25Live reservation system, will offer registered student organization and university department planners a more user-friendly, streamlined method for submitting requests for event space. Student and staff test requestors have described the form as "more intuitive," "straightforward" and "clear and easy."
Requestors will log in to the system by using the standard university account and passphrase combination, allowing 25Live to recognize user contact information and organization or department affiliations. Availability will show in real-time as the location is selected so that users may choose an alternate if the preferred space is not available. A bonus for those who schedule numerous events is the ability to log in and see past and future reservations.
There will be plenty of help for requestors on learning to navigate the new process. An online tutorial is coming to the EMCS website at utsa.edu/events, and trainings will be scheduled throughout the summer. Later this month, Main Campus event requestors who are interested in "test driving" the new form will have the option of selecting the new form or the current one when submitting a request.
For more information on the new event request form, contact Events Management & Conference Services at 210.458.4155.
The UTSA University Center (UC) will host the opening reception of its newest exhibit, New Works by Dr. Mauli Agrawal, Vice President of Research at UTSA, from 3 to 4 p.m., Thursday, April 23rd in the UC Window Lounge and Gallery 23 (UC 1.02.23). The reception is free and open to the campus community. The exhibit will run through September 30th.
Curated by Jana Schwartz, associate director of University Center communications and programs, the exhibit will showcase paintings created by Dr. Agrawal.
"It is my honor to share this selection of my art work with our UTSA community", Dr. Agrawal.
University President Ricardo Romo will introduce the exhibit and Dr. Agrawal at the reception. Light snacks will be available to guests.
Gallery 23 offers cultural enrichment, enhances diversity on campus and provides educational opportunities to explore the arts. The gallery showcases artwork by UTSA students, staff, faculty, alumni and local artists.
Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday. The gallery takes its name from its room number, University Center Room 1.02.23.

UTSA Counseling Services has offered after-hours on-call services since 2003, utilizing existing staff members. On-call services were previously accessed through UTSA Police Dispatch and so were limited to client crisis/emergency or police consultation.
Going forward, UTSA Counseling Services has contracted with ProtoCall, a leading provider of third-party telephone behavioral services, to provide after office hour counseling services. By contracting with ProtoCall, the entire UTSA Community will have immediate access to a qualified mental health professional 24/7. Protocall professionals are experienced with college student mental health and will have access to UTSA and San Antonio-specific information and resources. ProtoCall will alert UTSA Counseling Services of over-night calls so that staff members can provide timely follow-up.
The UTSA University Career Center is pleased to announce our new Career Fair Mobile App which was rolled out on February 11th for the STEM and All-Majors Career Fair. This easy to download and use app provides an extensive amount of information which makes preparing for, navigating and working the career fair much easier for students.
The app, available free at both the Apple and Google app store, provides the following information on each Career Fair:
With 927 active users the app was highly successful and extensively used by students throughout both the STEM and All-Majors Career Fairs. There were 12,530 total screen views of the company listing, over 32,000 total screen views and over 24,000 individual sessions.
The University Career Center is committed to using technology and other resources to help UTSA students better prepare themselves in their career search and present themselves to employers in a highly professional manner. To download the app, go to your app store and do a search for "UTSA Career Fair".
The UTSA Office of Emergency Management and UTSA Police Department – Crime Prevention Unit are offering many courses of interest this semester: learn about personal security and safety awareness, become a Floor Captain, interface with the National Weather Service, and learn how to help others in times of crisis, just to name a few.
Additionally, you may have noticed some changes and additions to the HR Training and Development course catalog regarding Emergency Management and Police Department sponsored trainings. In late fall, a new training category was developed for the course catalog entitled Emergency Preparedness (EP). In the past, all emergency management and Police sponsored trainings were coded under Safety (SA) or Staff Development (SD). Under the new catalog, all emergency management and PD courses will now be recorded as Emergency Preparedness (EP), and all past student history dating back to the inception of these courses have been re-coded with the EP prefix.
To register, visit MyTraining to confirm your seat and ensure you receive credit for the course.
We look forward to seeing each of you. Remember, preparedness is EVERYONE's responsibility!
