Orange County Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly announced today that he has decided to not run for the Fourth District Board of Supervisor's seat vacated by Chris Norby last month to take his seat in the State Assembly. The possible replacement of Norby by a democrat was placed into question when Anaheim City Council member Lorri Galloway and La Habra Council member Rose Espinoza announced their desire to run for the seat.

Latino Themed Events at Angels Stadium

Last night there were two events at Angels Stadium. The first was a mixer hosted by the Latino Legislative Caucus.
Leave Candidates' Families Alone
by Claudio Gallegos •
As people are aware, I am not the biggest fan of Lorri Galloway nor am I a fan of her stunt of carpetbagging into the 4th Supervisorial District in order to exact her grudge match with Tom Daly and Lou Correa. I think it was ridiculous to move to a "house" not zoned for residential.…
Galloway: Callous in Wonderland
by Chris Prevatt •
With Lorri Galloway having fully thrown her hat in the ring to run for Supervisor, I was digging through our files and found this little ditty from the Daily Show in June 2007. Â Galloway's primary Democratic opponent is Tom Daly. I couldn't pass up this bit of humor. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon…
Time to Let Baby Samantha Rest In Peace!
by Claudio Gallegos •
Why won't the Galloway camp just let the Baby Samantha rest in peace. Why won't they use her memory in a more positive light to make her a symbol for a better social services system, a symbol for ending child abuse? Why do they use her memory instead to trash elected officials they don't like?
Daly releases first round of endorsements for Supervisor
by Chris Prevatt •
"I am humbled to earn the support of so many respected local leaders,†said Daly. "As County Clerk-Recorder and former Mayor of Anaheim, I've built a reputation as a strong fiscal conservative and a problem-solver who delivers results. I will bring this common sense approach to the County Board of Supervisors.â€
With AD-72 done, we turn to a special election for the 4th District Supervisors Race
by Dan Chmielewski •
Congratulations to Assemblyman-elect Chris Norby, and don't the let the door kick you in the butt on your way out of the County Office Building (and do try to stay for the entire meeting of every committee you're on instead of bolting early). With Norby's exit, a special election must be held to replace him…

Author has written 4 stories for Sherlock Holmes.
Hi! My name is Nicetwin123. I have been on this site for a few years now, but only started a account up a few months ago. I am 16, and live in the U.S.A.
I play the violin, and sing and write songs. I like to act and sometimes will enter a talent show. But mostly i like to write poems. So far, I have written about 50. (I trashed most of my first poems because they weren't very good.)
I have ADD, and have little moments of depresstion. I also have a problem with stress. But i always pop back up. (My mother calls them my little black moods.) When i really have my heart set on something, I can usally outstand the people i know. But most of the time I'm just lazy. :)
I can only write drabbles at the moment. 1. because they are fun to write, and 2. I like drabbles more than anything. (But a nice short or long story is just as good.)
Most of the time, i just write for fun. I really don't care about dates, but i think people should let their mind wander and think of fun things that Holmes and Watson could do (or any other story in fact). I do not write the same as Conan, but he is still one of the best authors i have ever had the pleasure of knowing about. I have never been one to try to copy anyone else in their writing style, or any style of theirs. I like to take my own path and that is the way i am. :) I like people with open minds.
I will mostly stay on Sherlock Holmes for the moment. He is my favirot Story character after all. I love for people to review and do exsept creative remarkes. (But if you start to point out each and every flaw in my chapters I will not be overly happy about it.) Just politly point them out and i will fix it as soon as i can.
I fell in love with Sherlock Holmes when i was about 11, and have been reading storys on this site for about 2 years. I also write poems. My dream is to be a famous poet when i get older and to travel the world helping poor people get the chance they need to get on with the world. (Such as schooling, money, and jobs.)
I found out i loved poems on this site in fact. Here is the poem i found in one of the storys here that made me start to like poems.
We are but two- the others sleep
through deaths untroubled night
we are but two- O let us keep
the link that binds us bright
heart leaps to heart- the sacred flood
that warms us is the same
that good old man-his honest blood
alike we fondly claim
we in one mothers arms were locked
long be her love be repaid
in the same cradle we were rocked
by the same hearth we played
our boyish sports were all the same
each little joy and woe
let manhood keep alive the flame
light up so long ago
we are but two- be that the band
to hold us till we die
sholder to shoulder let us stand
till side by side we lie
It is one of the most touching poems i have ever heard in my life. Well, thats all there is about me.
From yours truley,

Easily the MOST FRUSTRATING game of the season, this shouldve been a cake walk, but we had Latos pitching
Easily the MOST FRUSTRATING game of the season, this shouldve been a cake walk, but we had Latos pitching
Well atleast we blew the lead in the 4th and not the 8th. #plenty of game left
Stros are scrappy. It shows a lot of heart to fight like this in the midst of a 7 game losing streak.
Hiesey is in right
This is just one of those games
Tie game
The "Scout" feature on Gameday is the dumbest thing ever.
Hoover didn't look good but I like our chances in a bullpen battle.
ludwick keeps us alive!
Latos pitched in a division with huge ballparks. Anybody can look good pitching in the west.

I'm asking because this is my situation now. My DF is a great person, great son, loves his family to death.
I found out I was pregnant in April 2009, when we had been dating for 5 months. Even before that day, our relationship had been moving really fast. We moved in together and it was good. He got laid off shortly after, mix in some pregnancy hormones, major moodiness, stress of a new baby and finances and it was frustrating! We have been through a lot together. He moved to another state for 2 months in August 2009 to work with his brother but then he lost that job too. I had been working full-time (same job for years) and I had moved back with my mom when he left.
Fast forward and our baby girl was born in December 2009, it was the best day of our lives! Because of an issue between DF and my mom's BF, we moved to a small place 2 weeks before sheh was born.Ā He helped so much with her (bath, changing diapers, laundry, etc) but we began to argue a lot. Especially about sex. I had no drive! I still dont but its been better. We lived on our own, with a new baby and no help. It was so hard. We've had so many ups and downs. I was diagnosed with PPD in July 2010 and I felt no support from him. I felt betrayed but I forgave him. He didn't understand depression like I do (been through it before).
In May 2010 we moved back with my mom (big mistake) but shortly after he left to his brothers (again because of my moms BF, they had a huge fallout) but thats another story. He finally found a job hours away and we moved in October 2010. We've been here since, in our own place, he has a job, I found one here too, financies are finally starting to look up but I feel like a part of me knows that we won't make it and I'm so confused. I'm actually scared that I might be right. Since he moved here he doesnt help with our daughter. I know his job is physically demanding but I work too and do everything. It's gotten better in the last weeks but I have to bitch sometimes which in turn makes me feel like the annoying one and we just go around in circles blaming each other. I have realized that we are so different and sometimes I think, "Really?".... It sucks.
Has anyone else been in this position?

VSB's Center for Church Management and Business Ethics (CCMBE) has entered into an exciting agreement with The Pontifical Lateran University (PUL) in Rome.
The CCMBE will provide online and in-person education alongside professors from the PUL to students from around the world. In addition to the presence of faculty from the Master of Science in Church Management (MSCM) program in Rome, an annual, one-week summer program will be established for students from the PUL on the Villanova campus. Along with the education component the two organizations will collaborate on developing a series of biannual international research conferences on Church Management, one in Rome and one in the US.
I am grateful to the PUL for their confidence in our program, and want to thank Charles Zech, PhD, faculty director for the CCMBE and director of the MSCM program on a great success story for VSB and Villanova University.

VSB's Center for Church Management and Business Ethics (CCMBE) has entered into an exciting new agreement with The Archdiocese of New York (ADNY.)
VSB is partnering with Cardinal Timothy Dolan to develop and train individuals in the business aspects of running church parishes. The archdiocese is aiming to enroll 50 people in the Master of Science in Church Management (MSCM) program. The agreement is part of a new initiative by the ADNY called the "Making All Things New" initiative which is a strategic parish-planning program that looks to improve parishes to better serve their communities.

I am pleased to share some good news regarding recruiting efforts for our finance students. VSB has been ranked #11 among a list of the top 50 undergraduate institutions by the Wall Street Oasis (WSO) in their annual power ranking for "Investment Banking Recruiting." This ranking examines Wall Street recruiting at undergraduate schools, across all of the bulge bracket banks and elite middle market & boutiques.
The WSO ranking looks at where each bank recruits its students. For each bank, they develop a list of the top ten schools and then convert recruiting numbers to percentages. Schools that have the highest rate of recruiting from these top banks performed the best. To be recognized among some large top business schools is certainly reason to celebrate! For the complete ranking, visit the WSO ranking page.
VSB's #11 rank is a testament to our unrivaled Villanova community, the great work of our Career Services office and the Clay Center's dedicated Professional Development staff, as well as the intelligence and drive of our students. VSB students are learning from top finance scholars, and employers clearly recognize this value through their hiring practices. And of course, another essential component is our amazing alumni who advocate, mentor, support and recruit our students. Thank you to everyone who played a role in helping our students stand out and excel in the ultra-competitive investment banking sector.

I want to share some great news about the recent online graduate business ranking that we received!
VSB ranked #6 overall in the nation in the U.S. News & World Report's annual "Best Online Degree Programs: Graduate Business" ranking. VSB ranked #4 in the "Student Services and Technology" category and #8 in the "Student Engagement" category.
Much of the data supplied for this non-MBA graduate program ranking was based on VSB's Master of Science in Church Management (MSCM) program, an innovative, two-year online graduate business program designed to enable church leaders to apply sound business principles to church management-related issues and decision making.
VSB's success in this ranking validates our ability to deliver a high-quality online experience for our students, and underscores the strength of our faculty, curriculum, students and support services.
February 12, 2014
Beginning in the fall of 2014, the Villanova School of Business will offer two master's degrees in an online format: the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Master of Science in Analytics (MSA).
The new MBA format enables students to have the option to complete our highly-ranked part-time Villanova MBA in one of three program tracks—the Online Track, the Flex Track or the Fast Track. Students will earn the very same Villanova MBA—with the same curriculum, taught by the same faculty—in a convenient and flexible online format. Although the program is delivered online, students still benefit from the important aspects of a campus-based program, including invitations to campus events, opportunities to develop strong relationships with faculty and peers, assistance from a responsive support staff and access to a strong, active alumni network.
The MSA program is VSB's newest graduate business offering. It teaches students critical analytics skills and transforms them into business analysts prepared to assist organizations in developing and sustaining a unique competitive advantage in this unique, 33-credit hour online program, which can completed in as few as 20 months.
With these two new master's degrees, VSB continues to sustain our reputation as a top-ranked business school that offers innovative and cutting-edge educational opportunities.

I am thrilled to share my deepest appreciation to James '81 VSB and Kim Davis for their generous $50 million commitment to the Villanova School of Business (VSB), marking the largest-ever gift to Villanova University! The Davis' gift—along with three other leadership gifts to VSB—is part of the University's campaign, "For the Greater Great: The Villanova Campaign to Ignite Change."
The historic $50 million gift will enable us to further enhance our position as a top, nationally-ranked business school. It will provide support for numerous ongoing VSB initiatives; support the development of unique internship and CoOp opportunities; provide additional funding for study abroad experiences; and support the development of new mentorship, service learning and professional development programs. VSB will also be able to promote curricular innovation and provide additional support for faculty. In addition, the Davis' gift will provide the necessary resources to make improvements to and maintain VSB's facilities.
Three additional commitments—of $5 million each—have been made by Daniel M. DiLella '73 VSB, James V. O'Donnell '63 VSB and Robert F. Moran '72 VSB. DiLella's gift is a continuation of one made previously, which established the Daniel M. DiLella Center for Real Estate. O'Donnell's $5 million gift will establish the Charlotte and James V. O'Donnell '63 Center for Professional Development, which will enhance academic advising, provide students more opportunities to interact with business professionals and offer increased access to internships and CoOps. Moran's gift will establish the Robert Moran Sr. and Elenore Moran Center for Global Leadership and enable the center to create more global opportunities for students, provide additional funding for such opportunities and enhance its programmatic offerings.
Thanks for to all of you for bringing us to this point in our evolution! None of this would happen without your support!

With every new academic year comes exciting news, and this year began with a unique and inspiring student story. I want to recognize and congratulate senior Charlie Dolan '14 VSB on being featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer for co-founding the high-tech waste management company, Sequoia Waste Management. Charlie's accomplishments are a testament to his ambition and time management skills, as he has been co-running the company while also pursuing a degree in Management Information Systems. As is the case with all of our students, we are proud of Charlie's hard work. We look forward to seeing continued success among our students, both in the classroom and in professional pursuits.

I hope you are enjoying a pleasant summer. I have good news from the Villanova School of Business to share with you.
As part of the annual Best Undergraduate Business Schools ranking – in which VSB placed #15 in the nation – Bloomberg Businessweek just released its list of "Best Undergraduate Business Schools by Specialty 2013." These rankings are based on the responses to an online survey completed by undergraduate business students from the graduating class of 2013. VSB earned placement in a number of categories, including a #3 ranking for internships.
Highlights of VSB's performance in the specialty rankings include:
One-hundred-twenty-three undergraduate business schools were ranked in 14 specialty areas. VSB placed in the top 15 in five of these areas. Over 94% of VSB's 2013 graduating students who completed the survey reported having participated in at least one internship or CoOp experience, which led to the top three ranking placement in this category. Our high internship ranking is especially noteworthy, since we do not require our students to participate in an internship as part of the curriculum.
The specialty rankings that VSB received make me very proud of the VSB community whose hard work has made these placements possible. It further demonstrates how extremely motivated and talented our VSB students are, and how impressive and hard-working our faculty and staff are as well.

I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to Mary T. Kelly, PhD, assistant professor of Economics, who won the 2013 Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Outstanding Teaching. This award is presented to a Villanova University faculty member who excels in undergraduate teaching, and is conferred at Commencement.
Dr. Kelly graduated summa cum laude from Villanova with a BS in Economics in 1983. She went on to receive her MBA from Drexel and PhD from the University of Delaware. Dr. Kelly held management positions at Verizon for 14 years and returned to VSB as an adjunct in the mid-1990s. She joined us full-time in 2004, teaching various Economics courses and conducting research in the cable and telecommunications industry. Dr. Kelly is beloved by her students, evidenced by her winning a junior faculty award in 2008 and placing as a finalist for the Lindback Award in 2006, 2008 and 2011, among other honors.
Dr. Kelly joins a distinguished list of VSB faculty members who previously have been recognized with the Lindback Award, including Gerard Olson (2012), Elaine Webster (1994), Daniel O'Mara (1993), Robert Nydick (1992), James Giordano (1991), Burke Ward (1989), Michael Varano (1988), James Emig (1988), Thomas Monahan (1983), Nicholas Rongione (1980), Charles Zech (1978), Robert Derstine (1977), Edward Mathis (1977), Gerald Dougherty (1973), Alvin Clay (1970) and William O'Neill (1966).

I would like to share some great news with you about our recent graduates.
The Villanova University Career Center recently released the Class of 2012 Placement Report. The report reflects post-graduation plans at the time of graduation, three and six months after graduation.
VSB students fared particularly well. Ninety percent of business students secured full-time employment, while nine percent are pursuing full-time/part-time graduate school. The average starting salary was $54,628. Seventy-five percent of our students completed one internship/CoOp prior to graduation, and nearly 40% completed more than one internship/CoOp. You can link to the full report here.
We continue to see excellent career placement results, and we are extremely proud of these astounding figures.
February 18, 2013
Greetings from VSB! I want to share with you one recent example of the national recognition we continue to receive.
The media continues to rely on VSB's distinguished faculty for their expertise on a variety of business topics. Professor Charles R. Taylor, PhD, the John A. Murphy Professor of Marketing—nationally-known expert on Super Bowl advertising and marketing—takes numerous interviews before, during and after the Super Bowl every year and is quoted heavily in many different media outlets. This year was no exception. Dr. Taylor was not only featured in Forbes, Reuters and The Huffington Post, but he also appeared live on CNBC and on Wall Street Journal Radio's "The Daily Wrap."
I invite you to review Dr. Taylor's Super Bowl coverage:
CNBC Worldwide Exchange; Wall Street Journal Radio "The Daily Wrap"; Forbes.com; Marketwatch.com; Reuters; The Huffington Post; Newsday
VSB continues to receive exceptional national coverage, thanks to Dr. Taylor and our entire faculty. For a complete listing of all the VSB media hits, please visit our In the Media page.

As a proud member of our Villanova community, I am honored to serve as The Helen and William O'Toole Dean at the Villanova School of Business. I look forward to playing a more active role in the success of VSB and the University as we continue our forward momentum and work together to advance our mission to even greater heights.
I would like to acknowledge and thank my most recent predecessors, James M. Danko, now president of Butler University, and Kevin D. Clark, PhD, who served as interim dean. Their collective efforts led to innovative curricular changes at the undergraduate and graduate level, as well as achieving the #13 rank among undergraduate business schools in the nation.
The VSB community is our greatest strength. I know you—our students, alumni, and friends—share with me a continued desire to find new ways of increasing our impact through the Augustinian principles of Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas.

The Long Day Short Film Festival - Fifth Annual!
The Long Day Short Film Festival
Friday, June 21, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
The 5th Annual Long Day Short Film Festival offers riveting and fresh short films on the longest day of the year, June 21. The festival runs one night only at Rock Wall Wine Company in Alameda to pair eclectic shorts with award-winning wine and delicious food.
With so many US and World Premieres, 2013's program of short films promises the diversity, independence, and innovation you just can't find at the local multiplex. A robot love story, an homage to high fives, a murderous turn of the tables, and films from Alameda, LA, NYC, Russia, Iran, Finland, and beyond! The festival can boast such a range of filmmaking genres, styles, and voices because the only criteria for submission is that the short be 6 minutes and 21 seconds or less, in honor of the summer solstice of 6/21. A small jury of local judges watches every submission and crafts a program showing the best of the best.
Before the show, sip a glass of bubbly and grab a bite to eat on site from Rock Wall's kitchen or Scolari's food truck while the sun goes down over San Francisco Bay. Rock Wall's amazing location at the tip of Alameda point affords picture-perfect sunsets paired with a wide selection of incredible wines.
The film festival was first conceived in the late autumn of 2007. Several friends and artists gathered at an old Victorian home in the city of Alameda, California and hatched a scheme to expand their artistic horizons to include film. We all loved watching movies, so why not make some of our own? With the 21st century well under way, video technology was only becoming more and more ubiquitous. Every consumer could access a videorecording device, even if it was just a cell phone. However, the thought of writing, filming, and editing a full length feature for submission to a summer festival was daunting.
So we decided to keep it short.
And what better day to show a series of short films than on the longest day of the year? June 21st, 2008. The beginning of the annual Long Day Short Film Festival.
One backyard. Fifty people in attendance. Nearly two hours of footage from nationwide professional and rookie filmmakers. Despite the noise complaint from one nosy neighbor, the first Long Day Short Film Fest was a success.

Inspiration Is Everywhere: You Just Need to Know How to Find It
Find "Inspiration in Photography" with Brooke Shaden.
Brooke Shaden, fine art photographer and author of "Inspiration in Photography" from Focal Press, offers tips on honing in on your creativity.
We all know the power of a great idea hitting us from nowhere or a beautiful daydream sucking us in whole. This is the type of inspiration that is wonderful to experience, but is often fleeting, and impossible to control. What happens when a client needs a photograph in a hurry and no ideas come to mind? What happens when life takes over and things do not work out as planned? What happens when our usual method of brainstorming fails and there is no time left to sit and wonder?
The answer to these questions is the answer to how we define inspiration. I believe that there is no clear definition for what inspiration is, and even less of a concrete method of how to find it. Inspiration is everywhere. We just have to look for it.
To start, figure out what you love at the most basic level. If you could photograph anything in the world what would that be? From finding meaning in every little part of your daily routine, to looking back on memories to find stories you can use, potential inspiration is part of your whole life if you choose to open your eyes to it. When you are honest with yourself and take a step back to reevaluate yourself as a person, then you will find out who you are as an artist.
When thinking about what I could do if I could do anything, the answer came to me at once – underwater photography. I spent a day creating several underwater images. I had no idea how to work underwater, but I figured it out as I went along and it has turned into a particular photographic passion of mine.
Reverse engineer your dreams. Turn your dreams or nightmares into a photographic moment. For example, let's say I'm daydreaming about running through a forest—I'll deconstruct that. Where is this forest I can shoot? What would I be wearing? What colors are in my wardrobe? What angle should the camera be at? Make lists, make paragraphs of words. You need to work backward; deconstruct your thoughts and put them into terms you can understand.
One of the exercises I lay out in my book "Inspiration in Photography" is to deconstruct an image. Break it down into prop, location, wardrobe, color. These are four basic categories most images will use. Write down these four categories and then write every word that comes to your mind for each category. Prop: cat, blanket, tree, leaf. Color: purple, red, green, orange. You get the picture – no pun intended. By the end of two minutes, you have all these words laid out that were already in your mind. Once those are written down you can see very clearly what your mind is working on. Simply choose one word per category and then you have a photo idea.
Instantly, you have an idea you can expand on and grow and make your own. This free association process is a great way to think and dream outside of yourself for a moment.
Find inspiration in everyday objects. Take a chair for example. It's an object almost everyone across the world will encounter every day in some form or another, and with which everyone has different associations. The key is to be able to look at an everyday object in a new light and use it as a springboard for inspiration.
Consider the following questions:
Examine the shapes of the chairs in your environment. Reduce them to their component parts and consider each individually. What do the parts remind you of?
Is there some symbolism to each part of the chair? To the seat, legs, back or arm rests?
What uses can a chair be put to? How could you incorporate each use into your photography?
Personalize it: What memories do you have of chairs? Are these memories positive or negative?
Is there a specific chair that has more meaning to you than others?
The answers to these questions will be varied and the results will show you how your mind works.
From answering each of these questions, you will not only have analyzed in depth an object that you pass by every day, but you will also have the foundation built to start creating images from this inspiration.
The first time I challenged myself to find inspiration in everyday objects, I stared at a tissue box for nearly an hour before finding inspiration. My problem was that I had been looking at the tissue box too literally. I was asking myself, how I could use a tissue box in one of my photos. The deciding moment came when I finally looked beyond the object itself. I looked into my past and thought about memories that I have around tissue boxes, and looked at the actual box and likened it to a home with the tissues as little blankets inside. Suddenly a theme began to emerge of what home (and care and comfort) meant to me. And all this came from contemplating the most ordinary of objects.
Break up your routine, break out of your comfort zone. Once there, make an effort to notice things that are new and unusual; this is grist for the inspiration-mill.
Pick a direction and drive. Drive 20 to 30 minutes or an hour. See where you end up. No matter where it is, be it an alleyway or the desert, ask yourself to be inspired by it. There is something unique in every location, something new to be seen. I usually carve out three hours – one-hour driving there, one hour driving back, and one full hour at a location shooting or gathering ideas. I might not come up with anything usable, but at least I got my brain working and I have a new location to work with.
A good example is when I decided to drive into the middle of nowhere with a friend. I didn't tell her much; only that we were going to explore middle California. We ended up finding some interesting train tracks. I decided to photograph them, and in doing so was able to use that experience as direct inspiration for a shot. Just by surrounding myself with places that I was unfamiliar with, I was inspired by everything I saw.
To be able to find inspiration at the drop of a hat can be the difference between feeling fulfilled and feeling like something vital is missing in your life. Often the difference between the two states is paper thin, and getting from one to the other is as simple as flipping a switch in our minds. The ability to see the word in a different and more inspiring way is something worth aiming for, because if we can achieve this, then our creativity will have no bounds.
Brooke Shaden — one of the most recognized names in modern art photography — reveals more techniques and exercises that you can use to be inspired by your environment, every day, everywhere in her latest book "Inspiration in Photography" from Focal Press.

SCRUMPTIOUS! I used skim milk and regular chocolate chips. I also omitted the walnuts.
Rich, delicious, and unusual. Also easy to make!
the walnuts and chocolate chip make the difference! if not it would have been to much pumpkin for me.
SOOO great!! I couldn't stop eating this! I brought into my cooking club, left for 5 minutes, and when i came back the entire loaf was gone. It was moist and delicious but i would slightly increase the amount of spices, which is what I did after reading other reviews.
Simple and yummy. We've made both as a loaf and as a bundt cake - always used regular sized chocolate chips. Put a little powdered sugar on top and it's a perfect dessert for dinner guests.
So good. I usually don't like muffins with chocolate chips in them, but I used the mini morsels and they provide just a little bit of chocolate flavor and its just right. I used skim milk instead of whole (thats just what I had) and it tastes great. I also used a little less sugar than what is called for. I will definitely be making these again.
Simple & wonderful. Used 1% milk instead of whole milk. A great autumnn dessert.
After searching for a pumpkin muffin recipe without finding one that I liked, I decided try making muffins with this recipe. It's absolutely amazing! I didn't have pumpkin pie spice, so I used a combo of 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each of nutmeg and allspice. It was wonderful! I've never had a muffin turn out so light and tender.
I made this for my grandparent's fall wedding anniversary and boy did they love it. I actually didn't have a bite so I can't attest to it, but they said it was wonderful (although theyn do have very simple taste). I made it in a bundt pan for presentation, and it retains a vibrant orange color, obviously from the pumpkin. I decorated it with orange-tinted sugar icing and fall cut-out cookies.
I used big chocolate chunk pieces in this and it was wonderful.

If he runs, he will win.
His main problem is that for some reason he has loyalty to the Republican party that has shit all over him and used him for his entire career.
It should be time for payback. Besides, it is the right thing to do. He knows that Romney is getting ready to destroy the world. If I were him, I would have a moral obligation to stop that rampaging lunatic.
I dont mean everything I say to be literal. I just like to throw around ideas, and play devil's advocate.

Psychological Profiling: Investigative Implications from Crime Scene Analysis
Schlesinger, Louis B., Journal of Psychiatry & Law
Psychological profiling-often referred to as behavioral, criminal or investigative profiling-began informally in the late 1940s when members of law enforcement were unable to make an arrest involving serial crime. This presentation describes the six stages of profiling, as well as other important aspects such as victim and offender characteristics, escalation, time and location factors, modus operandi and signature, and staging. The organized vs. disorganized dichotomy is discussed as well as how personality is an intervening variable and how crime scene analysis reveals aspects of personality. But for profiling to gain general scientific acceptability, a higher level of empirical validation and general scientific acceptance of this technique will be necessary.
Psychological profiling- often referred to as behavioral, criminal, or investigative profiling - began informally in the late 1940s when members of law enforcement were unable to make an arrest involving serial crime. Since most serial crimes are sexually motivated, the authorities often consulted mental health professionals (MHPs) who were affiliated with sex offender programs and had experience with repetitive offenders who often targeted strangers, especially women and children. The MHP's typical profile was usually couched in psychological terms and unhelpful to investigators. For example, the MHP would often say the sex offender they are looking for probably has low self-esteem, social introversion, and conflicts with members of the opposite sex, all of which may have been true but of little practical help in an investigation.
In the mid 1950s, New York City was shaken by an individual who set bombs at various landmarks such as Grand Central Station, Radio City Music Hall, as well as theaters and libraries. The Mad Bomber - as he was called by the media - planned his offenses with such a high degree of detail that he went undetected for about 16 years. Out of frustration, the New York Police Department consulted psychiatrist James Brüssel, who reviewed all of the information available, including letters the unknown offender had sent to the police, photographs of the crime scenes, and descriptions of the home-made bombs. After analyzing this information, Brussel concluded that the individual they were looking for was of Eastern European descent, over 40 years old, lived with an aunt or sister, had a serious illness such as paranoia, attended church regularly, was soft spoken, polite, and exceptionally neat in appearance. A profile written by Brussel was published in the New York Times on Christmas day, 1956, the following being an excerpt:
Look for a heavy man. Middle age. Foreign born. Roman Catholic. Single. Lives with a brother or sister. When you find him, chances are he'll be wearing a double-breasted suit. Buttoned (Brussel, 1968).
As a result of Brussel's profile, the police narrowed their investigation to George Metesky, a disgruntled former Con Edison employee. When they went to arrest Metesky, they found he fit Brussel's profile in amazing detail. Not only did he have all the characteristics that Brussel described, but he wore a double-breasted suit that was buttoned!
The uncanny accuracy of this profile caught the attention of the FBI, which was eager to learn how Brussel arrived at his findings. The psychiatrist described his thought processes as a series of deductions. He noted that MHPs typically evaluate people and offer predictions regarding how such individuals might behave in the future. For example, after an evaluation an MHP might conclude that the patient is likely to experience depression, make unsuccessful suicide attempts, have difficulties with authority figures, and problems at work. In fact, these types of predictions are rather ordinary in mental health practice. But in drawing a profile of an unidentified offender, Brussel explained that he simply reversed the process. Instead of offering predictions about a person he examined, Brussel offered deductions about the kind of person who would have carried out a crime in a particular way. …

Does Exchange Or Its Add-Ons Require Ssl?
Posted 22 September 2013 - 08:12 AM
1. Is an SSL certificate required or recommended on a site that uses Exchange with the PayPal Standard - Basic or the PayPal Standard - Secure Add-ons? I don't think so, but I want to be sure.
2. How about the Stripe Add-on?
Thanks, in advance, for this clarification.
Posted 23 September 2013 - 07:57 AM
An SSL certificate is not required by either of the standard PayPal add-ons. According to Stripe's documentation they recommended enabling SSL on your site (https://stripe.com/help/ssl) just for the added security and increased customer conversion rate.
Hope that helps!
Posted 27 September 2013 - 11:47 AM
That is consistent with what I my understanding of the PayPal options and a review of the Strip website . . . but I wanted to confirm that I wasn't missing something related to Exchange that required anything more or less.

Check out these groups and cruises designed for gay and lesbian travelers and friends.

PKMN: Out of My ReachThe midday sun was glaringly hot; it seemed to scorch everything it touched. The only shade to be had was beside the tall rock towers opposite the sun. Except, around those parts the shade had already been claimed, and no one would want to mess with its owner.PKMN: Out of My Reach by DewyCat
Levi, the hauntingly hansom houndour, with a rough, bad-boy type of personality. A glare in his eye that could stop you cold, or melt your insides; with this look in his eyes and his glossy black fur, many found him irresistible. Despite his tempting looks, he was not one to mess with, especially when you wanted what he had. You could say his bite was just as bad as his bark.
The shade was cooler on his back, but Levi still felt the beat of the sun thrumming inside him. He felt particularly irritated today, the sun was too hot and his day too boring. He had given up on napping hours ago, and was just laying in the shade as the sun shifted, leaving his slowly out of his precious shade. The soft sands beneath him were small and irr

A particular breeze blew through the bare, black scorched trees, awakening a stunning creature. In the dawning light, her golden feathers glowed softly. Chima blinked the sleep from her eyes ruffled her feathers letting the breeze flow through them.

In fact, they were so wreaked, that in her flight, Chima almost missed the small Pokemon hidden under large dead branches.
She looped in large circles, slowly lowering her altitude until she could reach out and grab part of the dead branch nearest the creature. The waters edge

Alleged Driver In Sir Speedy Crash Pleads Not Guilty, Released From Jail
Adult crimes can lead to adult consequences...
That warning today from a La Crosse judge to a 17-year-old facing adult charges in a police chase that led to a van smashing into a business last week. Clifton Traywick pleads 'not guilty' to driving a stolen van from Spies Construction that slammed into the Sir Speedy store at Rose and Monitor Streets. Judge Scott Horne is releasing Traywick from jail on a signature bond, but has ordered him not to drive or drink. Horne says if Traywick complies with the conditions of his release, he'll have a better chance of avoiding prison time if he's convicted and sentenced.

Sheriff: Fear Of Storm Keeping People Off Road, Leads To Fewer Crashes
Maybe it's because so many schools and businesses were already closed for today...
The sheriff of Vernon County reports fewer drivers than usual on the roads today, apparently because of fears of a worse storm than we've actually had. And that means fewer weather-related accidents.
Sheriff John Spears only heard about two cars sliding off the highway in Vernon County. He believes drivers were more careful this morning than they may have been during the first snow of the season.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 23, 2012
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Branding Brand, a mobile commerce platform used by major retailers today announced the results of its Mobile Commerce Index for Thanksgiving Day, which showed substantial increases in consumers shopping on smartphones.
The Branding Brand Mobile Commerce Index is a compilation of 66 mobile sites developed by Branding Brand for retailers across a variety of industries including apparel, health and beauty, and home goods. The Index is the largest collection of data on commerce sites specifically designed for smartphones, as opposed to non-optimized desktop sites with mobile traffic.
The Index had the following Thanksgiving Day results:
- 3,086,154 visitors (63% iOS; 32% Android)
- 17,364,602 page views (62% iOS; 33% Android)
- 29,880 orders (70% iOS; 29% Android)
- $81 average order value ($81 iOS; $80 Android)

- Visits increased 103%

- Average order value increased 19%
- Mobile sales increased 221%
"While Thanksgiving Day has traditionally been the quiet before the storm, 2012 was different," said Chris Mason, co-founder and CEO of Branding Brand. "This year, many retailers opened on Thanksgiving or started their Black Friday deals early online. Those who were not at home turned to their phones to make sure they didn't miss out."
Branding Brand will release the results of its Mobile Commerce Index for Black Friday on Saturday, November 24. An extended report on the entire Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday period, including data on peak mobile shopping times, will be released in the upcoming week.

I want to personally thank Will Hammock for the column he wrote on Grayson football coach Mickey Conn ("Rams' rise starts with coach Conn," Oct. 11, Page 1B).Having two senior boys in the Grayson program, our family has been in the program for the last four years and around the program before that. Going back seveal years, not everyone would have agreed with Hammock's comments. But to his credit, Coach Conn continued to do the right things to build the program both on and off the field as was stated in the column. Not everyone sees the off-the-field portion, but Coach Conn is doing and always has done things the right way. Thank you for recognizing that and for giving Coach Conn the credit he deserves. We are lucky to have such a man leading our sons.

Remembering The Mancos Times In The 1960s
By Tom Yoder
The Mancos Times is one of the oldest newspapers in Montezuma County and for many years used a rare printing press to produce its papers. KSJD's Tom Yoder talks with Dick Patrick, who ran the Mancos Times in the 1960s and was the last person to operate the Cranston printing press, one of only three like it remaining in the country.

The Jeffco school board voted unanimously last Thursday night to scrap plans to test and implement the inBloom system for storing student information.
"It was such a great sense of relief to hear that our voice was heard and that our concerns were recognized," said Jeffco parent Rachael Stickland.
The district's controversial plan to test the system was a prominent issue in the campaign for the Nov. 5 school board election, in which three conservative candidates won seats on the five-member board.
After more than a decade as head of Jeffco Public Schools, Superintendent Cindy Stevenson announced her plans to retire at last Thursday night's school board meeting, two days after a slate of conservatives won election to the board.
"Working with Jeffco as superintendent has been the best 12 years of my life," Stevenson said at the board meeting. "I'm taking this opportunity to thank the people here tonight and our community that have given me incredible support."
Stevenson's last day will be June 30, 2014.
Usually people don't get in line to go bald.
Yet several dozen people packed the Great Clips at Ken Caryl Avenue and South Simms Street on Sunday night, waiting to forsake their follicles for a good cause.
The assortment of students, parents, teachers and coaches from Chatfield, Dakota Ridge and Columbine high schools who lined up to get their hair buzzed were there to support Todd Glasser.
Jeffco Schools' plan to store student data in the inBloom cloud-based system continues to cultivate controversy and doubt among some Jeffco parents.
Nearly 50 people gathered to discuss inBloom at a town hall meeting Saturday at The Peak Community Center in Littleton. Jeffco school board members Paula Noonan and Laura Boggs sponsored the event.
"A group of parents had asked Paula and me to see if we could schedule a meeting like this to discuss these issues," Boggs said. "There was a great deal of info tonight."
The Jeffco school board approved a $1.2 million contract to upgrade the school district's data storage technology at the board's study session Oct. 24.
The $1.2 million will upgrade digital storage hardware and software through the technology company EMC. District staff members said Oct. 3 that the technology upgrade is unrelated to the inBloom system for storing student data or its classroom dashboard.
Hudson Gardens will open its doors Saturday to bring back FestiFall for a second year.
The festival, which debuted in 2011 before skipping last year, gives people a chance not only to roam the gardens but to celebrate fall from an environmental and educational standpoint, said Melanie Feddersen, educational manager at Hudson Gardens.
Jefferson County PTA president Michele Patterson has been appointed to the vacant seat on the Jeffco school board.
Board president Lesley Dahlkemper made the appointment after the school board deadlocked in trying to name a replacement for Robin Johnson, who resigned from the District 1 seat in August after moving out of the county.
Patterson's stay on the board will be short — the District 1 seat is up for election next month, along with two other seats on the five-member board.
Editor's note: With numerous forums scheduled for the six school board candidates, the Columbine Courier will focus each story on one single issue that arises in each debate. Visit www.columbinecourier.com and click on "Politics" under the "News" tab for candidate profiles and for coverage of the candidate forums.
Jeffco school board candidates shared their views on whether arming teachers with firearms would make classrooms and schools safer at a candidate forum on Sept. 24.
Julie Williams, a Colorado native and a product of Jeffco schools, is running for school board.
Williams, who is making her first bid for public office, is vying with Tonya Aultman-Bettridge in District 1, which covers the northern part of the county. Robin Johnson, who had held the District 1 seat since 2009, resigned in August after moving out of the county.
Classroom learning took a back seat to real-world experience last week when a group of Littleton students experienced the challenges of starting a home business.
Fifteen high school students traveled to city hall as part of Youth in Government Day on Sept. 26. The program is designed to give students a first-hand look at how local government operates, and the goal is to make sure the next generation is active in charting the city's future.

MILWAUKEE After breaking his hand in a freak suitcase accident back on May 27, it appears Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy is inching closer to a return to the team's lineup. Lucroy threw to second base from home plate on Friday and had been hitting off of a tee since Monday. He said he plans on taking live batting practice on Saturday. "It's getting pretty close," Lucroy said. "It feels great." The Brewers catcher had been in the midst of a breakout season when he broke his hand at the end of May, hitting .345 with five home runs and 35 RBI. He said he hopes to start a rehab assignment as soon as a week from Friday. That may be a bit ambitious for Lucroy, but Brewers manager Ron Roenicke did mention that his recovery and rehab had been going very well. "I know that's what he's hoping," Roenicke said of Lucroy's prediction. "He's coming along pretty fast." But with two capable catcher on the roster without Lucroy back, Roenicke and the rest of the Brewers organizatio...

Air conditioning in Provence/Paris?
Hello, When looking for lodging in Provence and Paris in August, is it important to look for places with air-conditioning? I imagine it might get hot in the South of France, perhaps Paris, too. What if proprietors say they have thick stone walls, so the rooms are okay without air-conditioning? Never having stayed at a place with thick stone walls, I wouldn't know. Thanks.

I'm open, friendly, approachable. I'm the one holding the elevator door for you. Chatting people up, whether we're stuck waiting for a delayed flight or at a party. I'll discover a friend in common or tell a funny story to break the ice. Despite my smiley face, my killer curves and my kind midwest demeanor, I'm a tough cookie. I'm a girl who'll join you on a hike, bike ride, or just on any given Sunday (Go Lions! Yes I said Lions). I'm close to my family and to my friends. When I'm not outdoors, you may find me on stage sangin' and dancing with one of my talented bands or shows that I perform with. Ive been singing professionally for over 15 years and I LOVE what I do! I connect with funny, easy going guys who can keep me smiling the way I do. I like a guy who has a little bit of an edge to him that surprises me every once in awhile, who knows when I need to be wrapped up in a big hug or thrown on a bed. You have a sense of passion and purpose. You're game for a chill day in Venice. You'll come to Sunday brunch or barbecue and join in a silly game with my friends' kids. You might have a slight southern twang, but even if you don't, you have the kind manners of a southern gentleman. You enjoy sports, but you also keep up with politics and current events. The strength of your convictions is as appealing as the strength of your arms around me. You love music. Although you're solid, you don't take life too seriously. You'll always lighten the mood with a silly joke. You'll dance with me even if you think you have two left feet. Try your hand at making dinner for my birthday. You'll tell me I'm beautiful when I'm still sleepy-eyed.
