Helpful tips for working parents
Being a working parent is a challenging role. It involves a balancing act between meeting your child's needs for care and attention, sharing a satisfying relationship with your partner and friends and being a reliable and competent employee while trying to enjoy life and parenthood.
Make life easier by:
- Setting realistic and achievable goals for you and your family
- Asking for help
- Changing your expectations and priorities around the house
- Involving other supportive adults in the planning and sharing of parenting and household responsibilities
- Be realistic about what can be achieved each day
Routine is important. Having an unpredictable lifestyle is time consuming and unsettling for everyone. Young children become frustrated, overwhelmed, and rushed when routines are frequently changing (understandably, sometimes it cannot be helped).
Talk to your partner about household responsibilities and expectations as a parent and adult household member.
Starting and finishing the day on a happy note:
- Give yourself extra time in the morning
- Rethink what is essential to be completed before leaving the house each morning
- Pack your work and childcare bags the night before
- Use the time in the car as a valuable opportunity to connect with your child both on the way to childcare and on the way home. Sing songs, and listen to your child when they talk to you
- Most importantly, leave work stresses at work
- Organise the next day's clothing the night before for you and your child
- Avoid conflicts and fights in the morning – it is always a no win solution for everyone
- Getting your child to bed early ensures they have adequate sleep for development and growth.
Feeding the family does not need to be stressful:
- Prepare double amounts of food and freeze for later
- Invest in a slow cooker and put dinner on before you leave for work
- Remember your evening meal does not have to be a hot meal
- Depending on the age of the child, try and enjoy dinner around the table with the television off and all family members present. This is a good habit to get into and provides a great opportunity to interact as a family
- Consider a no TV rule in the morning as this can distract everyone from getting ready.
- Wash and hang the clothes the night before
- Fold washing properly and save ironing
- Add an extra hour to childcare for shopping later in the day
- Avoid taking tired and hungry children shopping
- Consider shopping on line or in the evening, ask your partner to do the shopping
- Another suggestion is to do a big weekly shop to avoid the need to shop everyday.
Children get sick when you least expect it:
- Ensure your employer knows you are also a parent, so if your child does become sick you can take leave
- Either arrange for your partner to care for your child or have a backup plan such as a grandparent or a good friend on standby
- Babysitting clubs are a great idea if you want to go out at night with no extra childcare costs. Remember you do need to 'repay' the hours and babysit other people's children
Maintaining family harmony and thinking of yourself:
- Take time out for yourself and your partner to reconnect and maintain a healthy relationship
- Go for a walk, taking time to talk and listen to each other even if it is only for a short time
- Plan regular enjoyable family activities that are simple (i.e. once a month take the family into the city – kids are fascinated with tall buildings and sailing boats on the harbour!). It is these activities that provide your children with family memories later in life!
- Continue or start to do a regular exercise program. This is an essential part of caring for yourself

How to Nurse a Dog Through Parvo
Parvo is a disease that kills most dogs that get it. It strikes and kills fast and painfully. Here is a method that saved a 9 month old 80 pound Akita Rottweiler mix and also worked for a toy dog. Parvo kills by dehydration and vets charge $300.00 or more to I.V. your dog with no guarantees. Most vets believe there is no cure for parvo, only supporting the dog to help its own body fight the virus. If your dog is in too much pain, you must take responsibility to relive that pain -- be ready to consider euthanizing your dog.
1You will need the following items plus 24 hours of prayer and patience. A turkey baster, a bottle of Pedialyte,(found in the baby section of grocery stores), a thumb sized piece of dandelion root, a hand full of rice, a hand full of barley, a few cups of water, and about a teaspoon of thyme.Ad
2In a pot, boil the rice, barley, smashed up dandelion root and the thyme in water for about 10-15 minutes. Strain off the liquid and add the Pedialyte.
3When the mixture has cooled, suck some of it (about 2 or 3 inches) in to the turkey baster and put it in your dogs mouth. Go slow and give him a chance to swallow it. Repeat every half hour or so. Keep this up until the crisis is over- it may take up to 24 hours.Ad
We could really use your help!
Growing Herbs and Spices?
electrical maintenance?
Team Fortress 2?
- It helps to have a strong stomach.
- If you have a smaller dog, use smaller doses.
More Tips
- Some have had success in preventing and treating parvo with the human drug, Tamiflu, in liquid suspension.
- Have and old sheet or towel or blanket on hand to put you dog on because things will get messy.
- If you can afford a visit to the vet, after they have tested and confirmed that your dog has Parvo, tell them to give the dog the strongest Antibiotic shot they can.
- If your dogs mouth is strong,making it hard to get the turkey baster in, you can use a turkey injector without the needle.
- This is only for those of us who cannot afford $900 to $1200 dollars that the vet will say it will cost for them to keep your dog and TRY to save him.
- Its best to get your dog its shots right away so he or she doesn't get Parvo

Originally written on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 12/27/12
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A person familiar with the penalty says the NFL has fined Panthers quarterback Cam Newton 21,000 for abusive conduct toward a game official. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't announced the fine. Newton shouted at and bumped referee Jerome Boger in the fourth quarter of Carolina's penalty-plagued 17-6 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Newton apologized after the game, saying "the words that I said during the game were very disrespectful and I apologized to (Boger) during the game, but I'm going public and apologizing again. It was something in the heat of the moment." Boger said he didn't feel the bump was enough to warrant an ejection because it "wasn't of a malicious nature."

Scapegoating in the Aftermath of Newtown
Another school shooting—this one particularly unthinkable because it involved the slaughter of six and seven year-old children.
Mixed with the mourning, Americans began looking for something or someone to blame in the immediate aftermath of the Newtown tragedy. This is what happens after tragedies: we look for a scapegoat. Right now, we seem to have two competing scapegoats being batted about: guns and mental health services. It appears now that guns are going to be the favored target of reformers.
According to Stanford literary critic René Girard, the scapegoating we see in the news testifies to a deep-seated tendency of human nature. Girard reads history as a series of ongoing cycles of violence. Human beings are competing for the same goods in life, and this competition leads to increasing tensions and violence. But this increase cannot go on forever, otherwise society would collapse. Therefore, Girard claims that society feels a need to periodically "release" these tensions through projecting them onto something else.
Girard calls this "something else" a "scapegoat"—a term that refers to the goat on which the ancient Israelites symbolically placed their sins once a year (on the Day of Atonement, or, Yom Kippur). This goat would then be sacrificed through being led out into the desert to die.
Unlike the Israelites, however, Girard clarifies that societies are not under the impression that their symbolic scapegoat is innocent. Instead, they consider it in some way responsible for the violence. Thus we hear, "If assault weapons were illegal, or, if Adam Lanza had received more adequate psychological help, then those children at Sandy Hook would be alive today." Many (perhaps unconsciously) see this tragedy as an opportunity to release this country's tensions and divisions, which were on display in the recent election. Banning assault weapons and/or beefing up mental health services will be seen as a way to unite previously disparate groups.
By pointing out this societal pattern of scapegoating, I do not mean to dismiss the idea of more extensive gun control and mental health services. But we should beware of proceeding hastily and unwisely in our desire to "release" the tensions that culminated in the latest tragedy of the Newtown shooting.
Scapegoating is easy, but it only perpetuates the cycle of violence by attacking certain groups. Patient thought about the root causes of this violence is more difficult, but it might prevent enactment of potentially unjust policy.

BEIRUT: Lebanese wine exports to the United Kingdom in 2012 soared by 33 percent to reach $4.3 million, according to Britain-based online magazine Harpers.
It added that the increase is the second double-digit rise for the country, which grew sales to the U.K. by 26 percent to $3.2 million in 2011.
Lebanese wine has gained international reputation and recognition over the past few years as more investments have been poured into this promising sector.
Contrary to most Lebanese-made products that suffered a setback as a result of the turmoil in Syria, exports of wine to Europe continued to surge.
The magazine said that the U.K. was one of the fastest growing export markets for Lebanese wineries, with total exports up 7.9 percent to $14.3 million. Sales to the U.S. grew by 29.8 percent to $1.9 million, while exports to France were up 4.8 percent to $2.4 million.
Lebanon's association of wine producers, the Union Vinicole du Liban, has funded a marketing program in the U.K. since 2010. The Wines of Lebanon campaign won an award at the International Wine Challenge last year for raising awareness of Lebanon as a wine producing country.
"The figures demonstrate that in markets where we as wineries invest significant time and money, we are beginning to reap the benefits," said Faouzi Issa, owner of Domaine des Tourelles.

This comment goes to Wookie. First of all what kind of name is wookie??? This man spent 1,015 days went to court three times and got his case dismiss. Please keep your hilarious comments to yourself and do yourself a favor and change your user name.
@nore thank you for stating the correct facts!!!!
As I read all of this comments, especially the one from phillip. What the public did not know is the DA drop all charges from another man who was charged with this same murder in exhange for his testimony after he sat in jail for two years. As for justice, there is none to me cause for all we know he could've been the shooter, cause him (the so called witness) and his brother has a looooong criminal history. So truth be told Karen Hanson did not provide justice to the Larry Pass family. There is no justice when you allow a murder to get out in exchange for lies. Now what jury would convicts a man of murder without a weapon? Obvisouly not smart ones, and he will win on his appeal..... If i was a member of the Pass family I would be contacting the DA everyday on the other gentleman that was set free. For all we know he could've pulled the trigga. So Phillip thank you for your comments but its obvious you did not know the whole history of the looooooong so called PHP Gang. Get your facts right.. Feronda did his time for those past crimes. Truth of the matter there was no justice when another man walks for a crime he did..... Sorry Forks your DA did not disclose of the facts in this case. There is no justice when another man walks when he is the gulity party.....
I wouldnt advise no one to accept a plea deal especially to a crime that you know you not guilty of. My family selected a well known attroney in the community quote on quote. Then he places me with a attroney fresh out of law school and I was forced to make take a deal not understanding or eve comptant to know what I was getting into. I am a single mother of two that is scared for the of my life because of my attroney in compentecy. My advise to anyone who is offered a plea do not accept it if you are innocent. In reference to Mr. Manley quote below "they may be guilty of somethin," that is for the dectectives or the DA to prove. The defense attroney is there to prove his or her clients innocence.
"A lot of times they're not guilty of what they are charged with, but they are guilty of something,
@moreed Thank you, I just believe that everyone has a right to a fair and speedy trial. And being in jail for over three years is not fair or speedy.
I am asking for public to contact our newly elected Attroney General and/or the ACLU for a complete investigation on the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office. The other men mention is awaiting trial since 2007, if you don't have what you need to find the person guilty move on to other murder cases in the City of Flint that need attention. The APA in this case has stoop to the lowest to obtain a conviction paying these other convicted criminals for there testimony knowing there lying. Another defendant in this case charges were dismissed and re charged over 4 times on the same case. I fault not only the APA; I fault the Judge for allowing her to continue to get away with the this. All of the money that was spent on this case we could have hired 10 more police and five fire fighters with all the money spent on the alleged gang. If you didn't get a conviction in Wallace, you will not get a conviction on the other cases because we all know the same witness in his case is used on the other six cases. The man you mentioned in the article killed another individual and you allow him to walk the street and then pay him then testify in court. Shame on David Leyton's office.

Treat the Condition at Home
Paronychia is an infection in and around the area of the nail; it affects the skin around the nail, not the nail itself. However, if the infection goes untreated for a long period of time the nail itself could become infected. This disease affects both the nails on the feet and the hands.
Paronychia can be caused from bacteria, fungus, or yeast. It displays itself as a swollen red area around the nail at the base. This infection is actually a common infection and many people don't even know they have it. However, the chance of contracting this infection is increased in people who do the following:
Bite or Chew on their nails
Picking the skin
Constantly have wet hands
The good thing about this infection is depending upon the type of infection you got; you may be able to treat it at home and never need to go see a doctor.
"Soak at Home" – Fighting Infection Method
It is possible that you contracted the infection via a bacterial which would now be considered a bacterial infection. If this is the case (depending upon how far along the infection is) you may be able to soak the infected area in a warm water/antibacterial solution.
To do this you would just need to find an "Anti-Bacterial" hand soap or solution and mix it with warm water, make each part 50/50. In this case half of the container would be warm water and the other half would be anti-bacterial solution. Soak the infected area in this solution three to four times a day for about 15 minutes at a time.
Now, this really will only help combat the disease if it is a bacterial infection, however mixing warm water with salt will help any type of infection (even if fungal) to decrease the swelling around the nail.
"Rub it on" – Topical Ointments and Creams for Fungus Infection
Now if you contracted the infection from a fungus and developed a fungal infection the "at home treatment" options are a bit different. Not only are the treatment option different but it also requires a longer healing time.
Since you are going to be fighting a fungal infection you will have to buy an OTC (over the counter) anti-fungal ointment or cream. You will need to follow the direction on the cream as different creams will require different application times and things of that nature.
One thing to remember is if you have developed a fungal infection it takes months for a fungal infection to be completely healed up, so make sure you are aware of this and don't get discouraged if there is no clear change in a couple days.
These are just some of the "paronychia teatment" options available. You should always take into consideration your particular circumstances as "at home treatments" are not always the best options and depending upon the severity of the infection you should always consult with a licensed medical professional.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Halloween Episode: Everything We Know
The Pretty Little Liars Season 4 finale has left us with more questions than we can count, and we can't wait for the next installment of the series. The Season 4 Halloween episode (Season 4, Episode 13) airs this coming Tuesday, October 22, 2013, and we already know a fair amount about what's going to go down when we return to Ravenswood.
We've gathered the biggest hints and spoilers about the episode right here for your browsing pleasure.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
The official synopsis. To kick us off, here's the official synopsis of the episode:
Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) crash the Ravenswood Founders Day Celebration after finding a clue in "A's" new lair that Ali (Sasha Pieterse) may indeed be alive.
Dressed in their finest Edwardian wear, the ladies hit the creepy cemetery party to find Ali before "A" can. But if Ali is truly alive, could the PLLs be leading "A" straight to their friend without knowing it? With Ezra (Ian Harding) lurking in the shadows, "A" may be closer than the girls realize.Meanwhile, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) heads to Ravenswood to help the girls and meets kindred soul Miranda (Nicole Gale Anderson) along the way.
It picks up where we left off. Yep, we're still in Ravenswood when the show comes back, and we'll meet some important characters from the Ravenswood spin-off, which will premiere immediately after the Halloween special. You can also expect to see more Ms. Grunwald, and we'll get to explore more of the town. They also meet a mystery man who, for some reason, they think might be "A".
It's the most shocking Halloween episode ever! In fact, Lucy Hale calls it the most shocking episode the show has "ever done." It's also the darkest Halloween episode yet.
A lot of questions will be answered. Namely, we will learn for certain whether or not Ali is alive, and we'll find out exactly who Red Coat is.
Ezra is there. Never fear, Ezra is, of course, in this episode. That said, we won't learn too much more about whether or not he's really "A".
Not the end of Caleb... Yet. While we know that Caleb is going to depart Rosewood to go star in the spin-off, he will also make an appearance at the very beginning of the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 winter season. That said, you can expect an emotional Haleb scene.
Are you looking forward to this episode? Sound off in the comments below!
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Catch the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Halloween special on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Saint Leo, Fla. (August 27, 2006) – The Saint Leo University men's soccer team (2-0) battled to a 2-1 win over the visiting Thomas University Night Hawks (0-1) on Sunday at University Field.
Luis Quintero (Jr., Cape Coral, Fla.) and Tommy Poston (Sr., Birmingham, England) scored first half goals, and a late goal from TU was not enough as the Lions improved to 2-0.
For the second match in a row, Saint Leo scored early with Quintero opening the scoring with his third goal of the season in the 13th minute. The junior worked for space at the edge of the area before unleashing a shot that found the bottom right corner.
Poston then converted the third penalty of the young season for the Lions, as he stepped to the spot in the 23rd minute and sent the 'keeper the wrong way for a 2-0 SLU advantage.
SLU's Eusebio Montoya (So., Smithfield, N.C.) nearly added to the lead in the 72nd minute. However, the striker's first effort was saved bravely by Thomas substitute goalkeeper Andrew Madero and his second shot was cleared off the line by a Night Hawk defender.
With just over a minute remaining in the contest Thomas was awarded a penalty, which was converted by Wylie Clarke. The Lions then saw out the final minute to pick up their second win of the young campaign.
SLU will return to action on Friday, September 1 when the Lions will host Bethel College at 7:00 p.m.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies (With Oat Flour!)
Last year was kind of tough. My husband, who is without any doubt the best human being on the planet (not that I'm biased or anything), had a lot of complications from his Crohn's Disease. For those of you who don't know what that is, Crohn's typically inflames and attacks the intestines and colon over most of a person's lifetime, and it takes some pretty strong medication and ongoing treatment to keep it under control.
Sometimes the medicine needs some help, though, and that's where gluten comes into the story.
After a few hospital visits, we decided to try dramatically lowering my husband's gluten intake, to reduce his dairy consumption, and to have him avoid white flours and refined sugars even when he did "cheat." After all, it couldn't hurt, and it might help.
Six months later? Wow. He does cheat sometimes, but he's so much better. And I've gotten better at baking him recipes that convince him not to miss the wheat.
One of those recipes is right here, and it's so good that nobody ever realizes it's flourless. These oat cookies use oat flour instead of regular flour. Oat flour is just oats ground up very finely, but for those of you who can have NO gluten, beware: you have to buy the gluten-free oat flour, like the one from Bob's Red Mill. Other oats not designated specifically gluten-free can contain traces of gluten and therefore don't count. The same goes for your rolled oats. Only get the kind that is certified as gluten-free!
The reason this recipe works so well is that the oat flour just makes the cookies even more intense with oatmeal goodness. Honestly, I would never go back to regular flour after making them this way. A few weeks back I brought some of these into work along with other goodies, and guess what was gone first? Yep. These!
Now, for all you oatmeal raisin people out there, sorry. But if given the choice, I'll put giant chocolate chunks in my oatmeal cookies any day. Raisins are for other things, like…eating raisins. By themselves. Not to go in my cookie. I have very strong feelings about this. Feel free to hate me forever. Or to just disagree. Taste is subjective!
The great thing is that you can put other add-ins into this oatmeal cookie base if you like. I promise I won't get angry.
Cookie time! And I'd love to hear how you feel about the oat flour, especially those of you out there missing wheat. I made these for you!
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 and 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
In a bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again. Gradually add the oat mixture, beating each time until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Chill the cookie dough for an hour. If you're heading out, leave it in the refrigerator covered up until you're ready to bake. Note: do not leave it in the fridge for more than two days.
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or use a silicone baking sheet.
Scoop the dough into 1 and 1/2-inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are beginning to crisp and the middle is mostly set. Do not overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool and then remove with a spatula. Eat or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Don't worry. They won't last that long!

(TeleManagement) There may be a genuine physiological basis for the male menopause.
Researchers at Penn State University in the US, wonders why so many men take Viagra and wonders if there may be widespread lack of testosterone among the middle-aged – comprising a 'male menopause'.
They had been measuring testosterone levels and they found some interesting variations. Normal levels fall between 250 and 800 nanograms per decilitre (ng/dl) and below 250 is considered low. A study of Portuguese, American and Asian men showed the following average values: 500, 450, 400. Even wider variation was seen in DHEA, the compound which is turned into testosterone and has been hailed as an anti-ageing aid (though this hasn't been proved scientifically).
Since prostate cancer is low in Asian men, researchers speculates that testosterone is a factor – as oestrogen may be a factor in breast cancer. This theory is backed by the observation that prostate cancer levels are higher in African Americans, who also have higher testosterone. "This is all preliminary evidence however," says researchers, "and needs to be rigorously confirmed scientifically."

Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki Arrives in Mauritania
By Asma Ghribi | Feb 10 2012Mauritania ,Mauritanian President ,Mohamed Oueld Abd Aziz ,Mohamed Oueld Abdel Aziz ,Nouakchott International Airport ,
Interim President Moncef Marzouki arrived in Mauritania on Friday morning for a two-day official visit. Marzouki was welcomed at the Nouakchott International Airport by Mauritanian president Mohamed Oueld Abdel Aziz. The two presidents saluted their flags at the sound of their countries' national anthems.
Mauritania is the second country in Marzouki's Maghreb tour that aims to promote cooperation between countries of the Maghreb region as well as consolidate the Union of the Arab Maghreb, a free trade agreement signed in 1989 which has languished in recent years.
Morocco was the president's first destination in a recent series of official visits to three of the Maghreb countries.
Marzouki will conclude his regional tour with Algeria on February 12.

press release
New Oxfam campaign ranks social policies of food and beverage companies
The social and environmental policies of the world's ten biggest food and beverage giants are not fit for modern purpose and need a major shake-up, says international agency Oxfam.
The "Big 10" food and beverage companies - that together make $1 billion-a-day - are failing millions of people in developing countries who supply land, labor, water and commodities needed to make their products.
Behind the Brands - part of Oxfam's GROW campaign to fix the broken food system - for the first time ranks the agricultural policies, public commitments and supply chain oversight of Associated British Foods (ABF), Coca Cola, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé, Pepsico and Unilever.
ABF (19%), Kellogg's (23%) and General Mills (23%) scored most poorly. They have weaker policies than Coca-Cola (41%), Unilever (49%) and Nestle (54%) for example.
"A 100-year legacy of relying on cheap land and labor"
"Some companies recognize the business case for sustainability and have made important commitments that deserve praise" said Jeremy Hobbs, Executive Director for Oxfam International.
"But none of the ten biggest food and beverage companies are moving fast enough to turn around a 100-year legacy of relying on cheap land and labor to make mass products at huge profits, with unacceptably high social and environmental costs. No company emerges with a good overall score. Across the board all ten companies need to do much more."
The 'Behind the Brands' campaign reveals:
While some of the "Big 10" have publicly committed to women's rights, none have committed to eliminating discrimination against women throughout their supply chains.
None of the companies have adequate policies to protect local communities from land and water grabs, despite all of them sourcing commodities plagued by land rights violations, such as palm oil, soy and sugar. Not one company has declared 'zero tolerance' against land grabs in their supply chains.
All ten companies are overly secretive about their agricultural supply chains, making their claims of 'sustainability' and 'social responsibility' difficult to verify. Nestle and Unilever are most open about the countries they source from, but no company is providing enough information about their suppliers.
Companies are generally increasing their overall water efficiency but most have failed to put policies in place to limit their impact on local water sources. Only Pepsi has publicly recognized water as a human right and committed to consult local communities. Nestle has developed guidelines for its suppliers to manage water and was ranked top for policies on water.
All of the companies have taken steps to reduce direct emissions, but only five - Mondelez, Danone, Unilever, Coca-Cola and Mars - publicly report on agricultural emissions associated with their products. Unilever alone has committed to halve its greenhouse gas footprint by 2020. None have yet developed policies to help farmers in their supply chains to build resilience to climate change.
None have publicly committed to pay a fair price to farmers or fair business arrangements with them across all agricultural operations. Only Unilever - which is top-ranked for its dealings with small-scale farmers - has specific supplier guidelines to address some key issues faced by farmers.
Public action to target Nestle, Mondelez and Mars
"It's time these companies take more responsibility for their immense influence on poor people's lives," said Hobbs. "Eighty percent of the world's hungry people work in food production and these companies employ millions of people in developing countries to grow their ingredients.
They control hundreds of the world's most popular brands and have the economic, social and political clout to make a real and lasting difference to the world's poor and hungry."
"Analyzing their social policies is an important first step. These policies indicate a company's intent to do good. They are ultimately how consumers and producers can begin to hold them to account," Hobbs said.
"No brand is too big to listen to its customers," said Hobbs. "If enough people urge the big food companies to do what is right, they have no choice but to listen. By contacting companies on Twitter and Facebook, or signing a petition to their CEO, consumers can do their part to help bring lasting change in our broken food system by showing companies their customers expect them to operate responsibly."
The 'Behind the Brands' campaign will launch in more than 12 countries including the US, China, Brazil and across Europe.
Its first public action will target Nestle, Mondelez and Mars for their failure to address inequality faced by women who grow cocoa for their chocolate products.
Today Oxfam is also releasing a brief with first-hand accounts of the inequality that women cocoa growers face. Oxfam is urging the three companies to do more to know and show how women are treated in their supply chains, create an action plan to address inequality for women in their supply chains and engage in advocacy to influence other powerful actors to do the same.

A soldier awakes in the body of a commuter who witnessed a train explosion.
In Looper, writer-director Rian Johnson's (Brick) new time-tripping action thriller opening this Friday, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (JGL) plays a hitman ("looper") tasked with terminating his own future self (Bruce Willis), who is sent back in time so that there will be no trace of the crime in the future. Talk about a head trip! This plot has "time paradox" written all over it. If JGL kills Willis, wouldn't he remember that happening and try to prevent it from happening when he grows up to be Willis? And, if Willis kills JGL, wouldn't he simply cease to exist?
Looper isn't the first movie to delve into the complex moral and metaphysical conundrums inherent in time travel. In The Terminator, Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is sent back in time by John Connor, the future leader of the resistance against the machines, and ends up becoming Connor's dad. And in Back to the Future, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) goes back in time to save his friend and is almost erased from history when his mother (Lea Thompson) starts crushing on him.

RELATED CONTENT -- PolluterWatch: Greenpeace Investigates the Heartland Institute leaked documents
The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based, industry-funded conservative think-tank, has had a long history of climate denial that continues today. Heartland is a member of the State Policy Network.
On Feb. 14, 2012 several Heartland Institute documents were leaked to the public and revealed the organization's climate science denial campaign for 2012. The "Heartland Institute 2012 Proposed Budget" revealed potentially illegal plans to pay federal employees to write unscientific global warming material for K-12 school programs and for anti-climate science reports. The "global warming curriculum project" is set to cost $200,000. Additional, it confirmed continued funding to known career climate science deniers such as Willie Soon and Fred Singer as well as payment proposals to several people affiliated with universities, such as Robert Balling at Arizona State University. Heartland denied or avoided confirming authenticity of these documents until physicist Peter Gleick announced he duped Heartland into sending him their budget and other documents by email.
After dropping funding to Heartland after 1999, the Heartland Institute 2012 Fundraising Plan shows that Koch foundations sent $25,000 to the Institute in 2011. Heartland's plan shows it hopes to raise $200,000 in 2012 from the Charles G. Koch Foundation (p. 22). The leaked Heartland 2012 budget confirms cooperation with the Koch Internship Program for their lobbying work (p. 18)
Since 2007, HI has hosted their annual International Conference on Climate Change, where dozens of climate deniers converge to discuss issues and strategies to oppose climate action. On their global warming website, HI has dozens of articles, dating back to 1996, documenting their perspective that the Kyoto Protocol is unnecessary because "greenhouse gases (GHG) levels will unlikely ever pose a problem."
The Heartland Institute has also been a major part of the "Climategate" echo chamber. The Institute has posted dozens of blogs to exaggerate the significance of the incident, claiming "the global movement to 'do something' about global warming…stands discredited" and "the IPCC should be disbanded as a threat to mankind."
In addition to blogs, spokespeople from the Heartland Institute have commented on "ClimateGate" several times in the media as well.

I'm in central Mo.. been fishing for about 30 years, although nothing to serious. Just fish for fun and food. I fish for catfish, crappie, bluegill, and bass. using live bait and lures. Also warmwater flyfish and flytying. I can hardly wait for a little warm up to go try my luck.
As you can see, the forum is a little slow this time of year. Any good "fish" stories you care to share???
ive been fishing since early feb. ive had come real good fish this year ive stocked about 20 2 1/2-3lbs bass all on plastic warm just cant wait till it warms up for the year any good catfish baits i bought a new river pole and need some good bait ideas liver just hasnt worked were i fish
Back in the day and during the summer months I fished a lot of late night after hour(s) on golf courses and local ponds.
Anything goes when you're dragging a plastic worm on the bottom of a pond in the middle of the night e.g., Bass, Catfish, Carp, bicycle tires, branches ... you get the point, but it sure was fun.
Spent most of my formative years searching out new places to fish while pleading with my parents that I was old enough to be on my own. I won by attrition after awhile as they allowed me to develop my hobby.

Alleged NASA hacker's appeal begins

Alleged NASA hacker loses extradition rulingMay 10, 2006
Edmund Lawson, who is defending McKinnon, told a hearing at London's High Court that McKinnon faced up to 60 years' imprisonment if he was convicted in the U.S., where he could be tried under its antiterrorism legislation. The appeal hearing began on Tuesday.
Gary McKinnnon
McKinnon is accused of illegally hacking into 97 U.S. government computers in 2001 and 2002, causing $700,000 worth of damage. In an interview with CNET News.com's sister site ZDNet UK, McKinnon admitted accessing the computers as part of his search for evidence of extraterrestrial life, but denied deliberately doing any damage.
In May 2006, a British judge ruled that McKinnon should be extradited to the U.S. to face these charges.
Lawson said that McKinnon had been offered a deal by U.S. authorities, under which he would receive a shorter sentence if he stopped fighting extradition. This offer had been rejected, and constituted an "improper approach" to McKinnon, Lawson said.
Representing the U.S. authorities, Max Summers told the court that the U.S. was not able to refute this claim immediately and would need an adjournment to consider it.
The High Court appeal case was adjourned on Wednesday afternoon, and the judges will now deliberate on whether this new evidence can be considered.
McKinnon was taken ill as his appeal against extradition continued. According to those close to McKinnon, he suffered heart palpitations on Wednesday. "The case has all become too much for him," a friend told ZDNet UK.
If he loses his U.K. appeal, McKinnon may try to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, although this move may be blocked by the High Court.
Colin Barker reported for ZDNet UK in London.

- Hackers, regardless of their so called curiousity are no better than shop-lifters
(thieves, of a different coat).
Personally, 10-20 years minimun should be a basic sentence for hackers and
identiy thieves.
They should consider themselves lucky really, as a computer is a non-living entity. If someone were to physically break into my house, or steal from me they would most like be going out on a stretcher and straigt to the morgue.

- you mean crackers
- I respond to the mistaken sympantics because you miss-use the term "hacker" with such hate and confiction?
What you actually mean is "cracker" which is the title given to computer folk who focus on breaking systems for profit. (cracking registered games to sell/distribute, cracking passwords to sell/distribute).
Hackers are the overly skilled computer folk that make normal computer geeks look like noobs. These are the hobbiests that tinkered resulting in things like the PC (Steve and Steve where hardware hackers once) and Internet.
Hackers are not criminals by default and it's a load of BS that we keep scaring the computer illiterate by using the term for a modern day boggyman.
Anyone breaking the law by entering a system unapproved is commiting a criminal act. We really should stop differentiating between crowbar enabled and computer enabled crime.
This fellow broke the law and should see legal punishment for that as should any Break and Enter purpitrator but under his local courts. Sending him to the US to be a trophy skapegoat for overzelous laws does not fit the crime. This isn't about punitive damages at all.

- This hacker should not be let off lightly... but on the other hand... was what he did really that malacious?!?!?!
Was what he did simply too easy a task to perform due to NASA's lax security stance?
Should he fully and entirely be held responsible for NASA's lax security?
Personally, I want to say NO!!! But not to the point that his hacking should be allowed!
What responsibility should NASA take in the ordeal? And if NASA had taken the proper measures... could he have still be indicted this far?
These issues have yet to come into print and thus personally... I believe further investigation should be made in this area!

Imagine a college whose orchestra was missing a bassoon player, or whose football team was down a running back. It would go without saying that this school could admit an applicant who plays the bassoon over a candidate who plays the French horn, even if that French horn player had slightly higher grades, or that its admissions officers could give preference to a high school's star running back over its equally talented defensive lineman. The entire university community benefits from a full orchestra or a football team with a complete offensive lineup, and college admissions officers routinely take similar considerations into account when they think about how to build an incoming freshman class. Nine years ago, in its landmark Grutter v. Bollinger decision, the Supreme Court recognized that race is just like an orchestra. Contrary to the common view that affirmative action is a zero-sum game—in which each seat given to a minority must be taken from a white student—Grutter recognized that a university's entire student body, white students included, benefit from a more diverse campus in ways that simply cannot be replicated in a homogenous community. As the Court explained, "'classroom discussion is livelier, more spirited, and simply more enlightening and interesting' when the students have 'the greatest possible variety of backgrounds.'"
This commitment to diversity, however, is unlikely to survive the current Supreme Court term. This week, the justices will hear oral arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas, which challenges a racial diversity program that is in many respects identical to the one upheld in the Grutter decision. Four of those justices believe that racial justice cases are almost cartoonishly simple—in the words of an opinion that all four of them joined, "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." The Court's fifth conservative, Justice Kennedy, has at times shown more rhetorical nuance than his fellow ideologues, but he rarely parts ways with them when they vote to strike down race-conscious laws. Kennedy dissented in Grutter.
At issue in Fisher is the University of Texas at Austin's two-stage admissions process. The majority of UT's students are admitted under a state law guaranteeing admission to any graduate of a Texas high school ranked in the top 10 percent of their class. The remaining slots are then filled by a more individualized selection process, where race, a low-income background, or similar factors give applicants a slight edge. Under longstanding precedents, such consideration of race is allowed, but only if the admissions policy is "narrowly tailored" to serve a "compelling state interest."
Even Justice Kennedy admits that there are compelling reasons for a university to foster diversity through its admissions policy, and for good reason. The benefits of diversity continue long after an incoming college class graduates and enters the workforce. As a brief filed by 57 of the Fortune 100 companies explains, graduates educated in a diverse environment are "better equipped to understand a wider variety of consumer needs, including needs specific to particular groups, and thus to develop products and services that appeal to a variety of consumers and to market those offerings in appealing ways."
Nor are the benefits of diversity limited to the private sector. For much of our nation's history, enlisted United States service members of color served under an almost entirely white officer corps. Indeed, as recently as the early 1960s, just 1.6 percent of commissioned officers were African-American. It should go without saying that our military cannot thrive when its command structure resembles that of a plantation, and this racial divide between troops and their commanders bred widespread resentment in the enlisted ranks. In 1969 and 1970 alone, the Army uncovered more than 300 racial incidents resulting in the death of 71 soldiers. When enlisted personnel of color understand that there can be a place for them in the military's highest ranks, they become better soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines—and America's security benefits as a result. Yet, because nearly half of the military's officer corps earns their commission through ROTC programs on civilian colleges and universities, less diverse campuses means less diversity in the military's officer corps as well.
It is unlikely that five justices will explicitly turn their back on this need for diversity, but that does not mean that Texas' admissions plan will survive. Recall that race-conscious policies must be "narrowly tailored" to achieve the objective of diversity. Opponents of UT's admissions policies claim that merely by admitting the top 10 percent of graduates from Texas high schools—including those high schools that are almost entirely black or Latino—UT already achieves sufficient diversity without having to take any further action.
While it is true that Texas' top 10 percent plan enables many students of color to attend the state's flagship university—just under 1 in 5 UT students are minorities from the top tenth of their high school class—it is important to understand exactly why this is. Residential segregation remains the norm in much of the United States, so the top 10 percent plan primarily benefits minority students from schools that are overwhelmingly black or Latino. The diversity achieved by a 10 percent plan depends upon Texas maintaining unacceptable levels of high school segregation.
Additionally, schools serving communities of color are frequently under-resourced compared to those in (often much more affluent) white communities. For this reason, the 10 percent plan risks perpetuating racial stereotypes by admitting many minority students who, through no fault of their own, are less prepared for college than their white classmates.
So while the 10 percent plan can help create the appearance of diversity, it is unlikely to achieve many of the benefits of diversity, which depend upon students of varying backgrounds coming to view each other as equals. Nevertheless, it is likely that this pale shadow of a diversity plan will be all that survives the current Supreme Court term.
The justices should not delude themselves into thinking such a decision will come without a price. If UT loses Fisher, college graduates will enter the workforce less prepared to succeed in business. Their future employers will become less capable of competing in a global marketplace. And our military will be less equipped to handle the challenges of modern warfare.

Affirmative action today acts as a barrier to true equality. Points should no longer be given for skin color and gender. It is the last type of legal discrimination I'm aware of. Democrats and Republicans will come together on this one in the near future I hope. For now, the current GOP is completely unacceptable. Their bigoted, exclusionary policies are good for no one. This year, vote Democrat please. Watch this video:

C'mon, let's be honest: there is absolutely no value whatsoever to "diversity."
The the diversity crap is just the good lie we have to tell because the courts struck down the real, legitimate reason for affirmative action: counteracting ongoing bias. Discrimination is real, and it is gross and ongoing. And the only way to give minorities and women a fair chance is through affirmative action.

I feel like I've come full circle in my current travels in a way. Being in Turkey has conjured up memories of Malta for me. I started in Malta in February and then traveled through Europe and now I'm in Turkey 4 months later. The two countries vastly different in size are linked historically and as I learn more and more about the Ottoman Empire in Turkey I continue to think of Malta.
Specifically it has reminded me of the great defense mechanisms that Malta put in place to protect itself from the Turks – the system of towers that run around the perimeter of Malta and the tiny island of Gozo. The Turks of the Ottoman Empire sailed into the little island nation of Malta in an attempt to seize it in 1565. The siege was the climax of an escalating contest between a Christian alliance and the Ottoman Empire for control of the Mediterranean. And the miracle was that the Knights of Hospitaller, along with the Maltese people held off the Turks in that siege.
Malta was used to being bullied in the Mediterranean and because they were a popular target for the Turks, and other various fleets and pirates they built an impressive tower/messaging system that you can still see today around the island. In fact, I photographed many of the towers as they were a lovely addition to the landscape as well as a modern day reminder of Malta's history.
The towers were meant to be a way to communicate when pirates/enemies were spotted letting the Maltese know to get to the forts for protection quickly. A system of fires were lit in ancient times as a system of morse code to communicate. In later years they were fortified with cannons in order to fight back. Also – simply by their presence it seemed to dissuade some potential enemies as they wondered what else Malta had in store for them.
Today the towers can be visited as museums and some can even be rented out for parties. I even found a site that describes how you can do a trek from tower to tower around the island of Malta which I think would be fascintating.
I love it when a trip can connect in ways you don't expect. That's the wonderful thing about traveling in and around Europe, there is an immense amount of historical overlap that continues to thrill and surprise me. It reminds me of how young America is and how complex cultures and the drive for power can be.

Cool pics Sherry, as usual. Interesting that the sign was in English. Is that common?
When I lived and worked in The Hague, I made a number of weekend trips to various places, including a long weekend trip of about 5 days to Malta. I went with some friends of mine. Wish I had gone back and, perhaps, visit Gozo as well.
I really liked Malta, especially with its yellow public transport buses, its history, and its fishing villages. I just loved spending a day in Marsaxlokk, a very pretty and colorful fishing village, filled with many, many brightly colored fishing boats with their characteristic eyes.
I've been wanting to buy a high end film scanner for all of my old film pictures, and every time I think of Malta, that thought crosses my mind again because of the Maltese fishing boats! If you love color, you'd love these boats!
This looks like a very calming yet powerful place. Love the photos.
Sherry, how great to see this post as I've just come back from a trip to Sicily and Malta. I saw many of these towers and some fortresses when we toured the coast on a small boat. They complement beautifully the harsh landscape.
And I understand what you say about one trip connecting with another one: I felt just the same in Malta, but with a trip I did some years ago to Rhodes. The Knights' story was fascinating for me then and I was happy to see another piece of the puzzle come together as they fled Rhodes escaping from the turks to seek safety in Malta.
Ohh I would love to visit Malta. The history is so fascinating for such a tiny island! Beautiful photos – you always capture the location perfectly
Great photos Sherry. I plan on spending 10 days in Malta before returning to Turkey next year for a month. It seems like May 2013 is a light year away. Malta will be a good group of islands to practice my Italian and do some hiking. A great start to a 5 week long overdue trip. While in Turkey I hope you get a chance to stay in Urgup for at least 5 days. It is an unforgettable town.
Your photos are simply amazing! I could look at them forever!
We were there in September 2012 & guess what? …. we will there again in 2013. Loved it !!

Malta is a heavily fortified island… Valletta and the area around it is the most fortified place that I've visited so far.

Before we start i made this instructables to thank my first 100 subscribers i got featured twice and won a contest i couldn't have done it with out you guys thanks so much now enjoy your instructable
Step 1: Overview
Step 2: Lamp Type #1
STYLE #1 Recycled Lamp
Tools And Supplies
- Old Lamp (Working)
- Empty Bottle
- Drill or drill press
- Diamond glass bits
- Heat shrink tubbing
- Needle nose pliers or tweezers
- Electrical tape
- Liquid nails
- Filler (what ever you want to put in your bottle)
- Hack saw or something to take apart lamp
- Lighter or heat gun to heat upbeat shrink tubbing
1.) Find an old lamp you can use
2.) Find a bottle you want to use and clean it out good (I Used A Jack Daniels Bottle )
Step 3: Lamp #1- Step 2
- remove lamp shade
- flip lamp over mine add a paper thing covering the cord so i took it out to revel the cord
- uses the hack saw if needed to cut an incision in lamp to remove cord
- use the hack saw again to open the remainder part of the lamp so you can pull the cord all the way out
- cut the wire so we will be able to thread it and rewire it into the lamp later
- after your done gutting it you should have the lamp guts
Excellent ible!!! At what speed should you run the drill press?
Thanks for your response! , and your instructable !! Looking forward to this one.
I would like to make lamp style number three but I cant find the LED base. Can you tell me where you got it at or how you made that part?
This is definitely really cool but I think a short strand of Christmas lights and some glass beads will work instead of the LEDs and soldering. Wish I was on your level though!
Looking at this again for the socket where the lightbulb goes into is that just resting ontop or did you glue it to stay straight?
It looks like it might be above my pay grade, but it looks really cool! I voted for you on both items. Good Luck! :)
thank you so much!
thanks! don't forget to vote for me :)
You don't need 4 batteries to run one LED in the base of the bottle. Use a simple Joule thief circuit to run one or 2 3 volt bright LED's
The chip can use up to 5 volts and double the voltage to the LED's
To calculate LED's with wall wart supplies, divide 3 volts into the DC voltage and run that many in series. Each LED should pull about 20 ma current and you may not need any resistors.
You should never run an LED without resistors - you *need* to limit current - setting the voltage can't do that.
Yes, you put them in the circuit diagram. Good practice. Some LED's have an internal resistor but unless you know this for sure, you need to limit the current.
Go here: http://www.hebeiltd.com.cn/?p=zz.led.resistor.calc...
In the series LED section enter 6 power supply volts , 3 LED volts and 20 ma current. Zero resistance! This is a page from a manufacturing site. The other calculator site always adds at least a one ohm resistor, which could be a real wattage headache if you are using a lot of power. It is wrong.
So where's the other 3 volts being dropped?
From the site you list: "Voltage drop is usually 1.9~2.1V" - the change in "resistance" for the 0.2V band can be huge, and nothing like the the same as would be expected for a purely resistive load. LED's are semi-conductors, current needs to be restricted.
Series means more than one LED in sequence in a circuit. Put 2 in and the second one drops the other 3 volts. Put in more and you get negative resistances because you are cutting current more. Eventually the LED's will not conduct at all. Next closest resistor = 1 ohm, but that's just a technicality as there are no negative resistors.
Using V = IR a resistor or an LED must drop the rest of the voltage in excess of the voltage of the first LED. Since the second LED can drop all 3 volts there is no need for a resistor..
Ah, you didn't mention a second LED. However, you still have the problem of not knowing the exact voltage drop across the LED, especially with white and blue LED's where the voltage is typically 3.0-3.5V - so two LED's in series may not work on a 6V PSU and if you used a 7V PSU you may have 1V too much.
Some reading for you:
However, as you seem against resistors in series with LED's, I won't comment further on this subject.
yep and thanks
Where's the resistor on your computer plug? Light bulb?
The voltage drop of the LED given by the manufacturer is the current setting. You can run 40 3 volt LED's in series on 120 volts just like light bulbs. Add a rectifier in series to block reverse voltage.
Watch out for red, green and yellow plain old LED's as they run on less voltage than a bright LED. Usually 1.5 to 2 volts.
I've been running four 10mm 3 volt bright LED's in series on 12 volts DC for years now.
Yeah, what ever...
I understand, your forte is making the lamps. But there are a lot of people who might like to use less batteries later on. Send them to me if you can!
Also you can run a few LED's off of line voltage through a high voltage rated capacitor too. Did you ever see those lamps with top and bottom lights? Could be some ideas there. Let me know if you are interested. Nice Instructable!
I have 2 Absolut Vodka bottles, and I would like to make them into a pair of lamps, but do you think it would be possible to put LED in the bottom with a lamp shade on top and use a three way switch ?
I Voted for ya, I will have to get the Diamond Drill bit so I can get started, thank you for the ideal.
no problem and thank you so much for the vote send me a picture when your done i would love to see it!
You do know you can buy the guts of a lamp separately in case you don't have a lamp your not using right?
i know i get them from homdepot thanks for the comment don't forget to vote for me :)
Are you serious? You advocate destroying
a good working lamp to make an LED lamp that will be out of style next year!
Why not? If you have something you don't like, you either give it away, throw it away or hide it away - so why not convert it into something you *do* like?
Do you use any insulation for the LED wires to keep them from shorting out?
Very awesome idea! I've made alcohol bottle lamps with just LEDs. Haven't thought about adding the lamp/lamp shade on top though! Nice addition. Here's my lamps http://cookingcircuits.com/home/2013/8/29/alcohol-bottle-lamp
Great instructable! Really liked it! The only big problem will be make this just after empty the bottle! (JK)

I tried totally clearing the cache for firefox in the android settings and totally uninstalling it. Still didn't help. When this first started happening it was already on a "fresh install" of firefox too. I had been using chrome and had never even had any other browsers installed. I installed firefox and immediately ran into the problem on neowin forums. The "request desktop site" box is not checked.
Do you have the switching option on the bottom....
also use the "send desktop version" option on your phone's browser.to go to the page>clear the cache on the phone>then uncheck the "send desktop version" option. That helps for me when IPB boards get "stuck"

It's no secret that Jesse Tyler Ferguson loves a good photobomb.
The Modern Family actor hardly ever turns down an opportunity to crash someone's pictures, whether on the red carpet or in his day-to-day life.
Ferguson stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and opened up about some of his "signature moves."
"It's always so crazy on those red carpets," he said when asked about most recently photobombing Zooey Deschanel at the Golden Globes.
Ferguson was shown doing the "fish jump"—a pose that involves looking like a fish diving into water.
PHOTOS: Jesse Tyler Ferguson joins the ranks of Hollywood's hottest male redheads
But the star also confessed that he's often on the receiving end of Eric Stonestreet's pranks when the camera isn't rolling.
"He's always pranking me but I think the reason he likes to prank me is because he knows that I have no interest in pranking him back, there's no fear of like, 'what is he going to do to me?' I'm just too lazy," he told Ellen DeGeneres. "I really do love pranks, though. I pull a few here and there."
So does he have something up his sleeve for Stonestreet in the near future?
"When it happens, it's going to be epic," he said with a mischievous look.
NEWS: Rihanna photobombed the guys of Full House!
"I did get Sofia [Vergara] pretty good in Vegas, though…she was taking a nap and we were all kind of over-stimulated and getting over colds," he explains.
"So she decides to take a nap with a Kleenex over her face, literally a ply of Kleenex, so I took a photo of her."
The rest, as they say, is history. Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell and a few other Modern Family actors posed alongside the sleeping actress with various funny poses.
Hmmm…we wonder if she ever got revenge!
PHOTOS: See the best celebrity photobombs!

Great muffin pan
Virginia from Walton, KY – Verified Buyer
Have always liked Rachel Ray's line cookware and these pans are no exception. Love the silicone inserts in the handles so that pot holders not needed. While I will probably use them for muffins at some point, I am currently using them to bake eggs. The eggs pop right out. Great price, quickly shipped
Ms Carolyn Hanchera
Carolyn from Kincheloe, MI – Verified Buyer
Right from the box into the soapy water to the oven with blueberry muffin batter. So easy to use and wash and purchased with a new outlook toward baking muffins, I wasn't disapointed, the muffins literaly fell from the pan when it was tipped upside down. Washing the tray was a matter of hot soapy water and a sponge. I did not have to use an abrasive sponge. I love it.
Great tins
Wendy from Buffalo Gap, TX – Verified Buyer
Great muffin tins, bakes easily, evenly, easy to clean and care for.
Mini Meatloafs Yum!

Loving an Onahole [English], by Fue15 March 2013, by Oliver
If you've got enough patience, the ultimate way to take down Japan isn't to blow one of its nuclear plants, nah. There's a more vicious and efficient solution.
It's to create the perfect onahole, totally looking like a woman and feeling like one, with her own personality, but better : only thinking about sex, able to increase her mouth's temperature to increase fellatio pleasure, with a perfectly lubricated pussy, and the like. In two generations, Japan would be doomed
The "heroine", Onako, belongs to this new generation of onaholes, and she's bought by an impatient customer, happy sex follows, with a noticeably intense deepthroat session starting the business
That was fun and very hot, so, thanks a LOT to Flammz, Darkfire and Desu !
By Fue, I also share Two Siblings Fela Pure and My Childhood Friend Has Great Endurance.

Sort of reminds me of "Buttobi CPU" – soft-core hentai, or extermely "ecchi" to say the least.
Of course, THIS blows it away. o.0
Another classic by Fue…
I think one of the things that get's lost in appreciation from Fue is his female body types.
One of the main things he gets credit for is his killer blow job scenes, but his girls always have the perfect body, nice tits and usually a nice ass….Just an observation.
I love Fue's works, hope we get some more of his stuff here soon
Two SIbilings is my favorite hentai ever. Wish there was more of Fue's stuff. Many thanks Oliver.
Another name for boobs is "sweater meat" and "sweater puppies" after perusing some of the pics for this, I understand the metaphors much better now, thanks for the upload.
And that onahole won't get pregnant? Yay!
I fapped to this. Does that mean I'm gay for fapping to a guy using an onahole? :<
After Sibling Fella Pure, this definitely on of my fave hentai all time. Fuck if only real life onahole are like that. This is like chobits, software and stuff, but fuckable!
Thanks for the share, Oliver.
You did see the articles last year that predicted Japanese would be extinct in just under 1,000 years, given their present birth rate decline?
Mankind, I doubt it, but current civilization, based on consumerism, ploutocracy disguised as democracy, and extra-large number of humans on Earth, I don't give it two more centuries anyway.

"Powerful BJ" doesn't cut as a description. That was one of the best BJ scences in any h-manga in recent memory.
You liked it ? Hated it ? You've got additional information and links ? Or did you see broken links (please report them, I will reupload it) ? Bring more life here, participate, add a comment ;-)
If you report a dead link, please, tell me what is the precise dead hyperlink and the precise error. Never forget to try again !

2001 Proton Persona GLi 1.3 petrol
Reliable - at least the engine is
Hazard light switch died.
Drivers side front electric window died.
Passenger front window works only in dry weather.
Air con cuts out completely in very hot weather.
Various bits of the dash rattle badly on idle. With the air con on, the steering wheel vibrates loudly at idle.
Fuel gauge works only when it feels like it.
Tacho works slightly less often than the fuel gauge.
General Comments:
I have mixed feelings about this car. On one hand, the core guts have been nothing but reliable, and nigh impossible to kill.
On the other hand, most of the car feels like it was put together by a three year old on a sugar high.
The interior panels are shoddy, the electrics are glitchy, and the seats none too comfortable for long drives.
The overall design is soulless and bland. Despite the best efforts of the faux wood panels, the interior has a certain 'cinema entrance' feel to it. A lot of grey on grey plastic with cheap 80's inspired fabrics.
On the up side - despite having no power to speak of, the handling is quite tight for a front wheel drive. Zipping through windy roads almost approaches fun, and can feel rather like you're driving a go-kart.
At the end of the day, this has been a boring and sometimes frustrating car to own and drive, but it has never once missed a beat in getting me from point A to point B. Including some long, hot drives cross-country Australia in summer.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Bing: Negative Conversion a No-No
I'm so fed up with Google's SERP and general "whatever" attitude that I'm using Bing as my default search engine " and liking it a lot, too. Not only has it got cleaner, less spam ridden results for some searches than Google does; Firefox's top thinks it has a better, safer privacy policy too.
That doesn't mean I embrace Bing as the next Kool-Aid dispenser; I'm the first to admit Bing is (still) a work in progress and therefore among the first to admit its failures.
FAIL: minus 7C is not 44.6F
Located in Canada temperatures are expressed in Celsius for me. For my other inclined North Americans I have to translate that to Fahrenheit. In my
grandmother's mother's childhood we had conversion calculators or tables for it; nowadays we have conversion built right into our favorite search engine (see: Bing).
So when Jessica D'Amico mentioned the temperature at her place, I wanted to respond with the one here. <click> <click> type in address bar: "7C in F <enter>
And what do I see?
That's -7c in f according to Bing
Here's how Google handles it correctly:
What search engine weirdness have you spotted?
My paid passion at Search Engine People sees me applying my passions and knowledge to a wide array of problems, ones I usually experience as challenges. People who know me know I love coffee.

I do love the Google language tool. We have so much SEO invested in Google – it's really a worry how they change things up.
Hahahaha, hilarious. I can only imagine that once Bing can leverage all of the search technology that Yahoo has/had, that they will have a pretty darn good search engine that will definitely compete with Google.
Google had better get off of their backside and start rolling out better results. Local search is all over the place, and usually it pops up on queries that are obviously not a local type query. When I type "pizza" into Google I want to see local results, duh! And when I type "power outage in Carlsbad Ca" I want to see real time results.

I like using ChaCha for short factual questions like this. It is funny that Bing didn't do some quality checks on this, though.

Step 1: You'll Need. . .
- 1/2 cup fed/prepared sourdough starter (you can make your own or if you're too timid for that, you can purchase some, or if you're lucky (and have awesome friends) you can get some from one of your pals)
- 3/4 cups water (lukewarm)
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate (cut into large chunks)
- About a teaspoon of vegetable oil to grease your pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Clean towel to cover bowl
- Sheet pan (or baking stone or bread pan, if you're into that kind of thing)
- Spray bottle filled with water
- Serrated bread knife or other sharp knife
Step 2: Mix and Rise
- Combine all ingredients except for the chocolate and mix until just combined (I just use my hands, but you can use a spoon or standmixer if you prefer)
- Add the chocolate to the dough and mix well (try to make sure that the chocolate is distributed evenly through the dough)
- Cover the mixing bowl with the towel and allow to rise until doubled in size (approximately 90 minutes)
Step 3: Shape It Up
- Give the dough a few gentle kneads (nothing crazy, just to make sure everything is well mixed)
- Lightly grease the baking sheet and place the dough onto it, gently shaping it into an oval loaf (if you prefer pan-shaped loaves rather than free-formed, you can use a bread pan instead)
- Cover and allow to rise until for about 1 hour or until it puffs up - towards the end the rising time you'll want to preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
I've found that the sourness depends mostly on how sour the starter is, and though I haven't tried it, I've read that feeding a starter with rye flour can help increase its sourness.
Hope that helps some!
Best of Luck to you!!!!
