I wanted to make something new for Christmas this year and I thought that nothing would be better than a surprise present! The surprise I am talking about is the jam I put inside the cookies, but you can put chocolate, nutella, pieces of apples or anything you want.
Step 1: Ingredients
- 125 gr (about a stick) cold butter
- 250 gr (2 cups) flour
- 2 egg yolks
- 100 gr (7/8 cup) icing sugar
- vanillin or vanilla extract - I used a sachet that contains 0.5 gr of vanillin, it's probably a little more than a pinch. Whichever extract you use, only a little is needed to give flavour to your cookies.
- a pinch of salt
- food coloring
- jam
- optional: a bit of baking powder to make the cookies softer
Step 2: Make the Dough...
Now add sugar, vanilla and the yolks (and a bit of baking powder if you want).
Mix all the ingredients until you have a compact dough.
Wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least a half hour.
Step 3: Cut Squares
Flatten the dough with a rolling pin. I made it about 3 mm thick (0.11 inches).
Now cut out many squares and remove the rest of the dough. You can flatten it again and make other squares out of it but remember to keep some dough to make the decoration.
I made the squares with a cookie cutter but you can also make them simply cutting with a knife. My squares are about 4/5 cm (1.57 inches).
Divide them in 2 groups with the same number of squares so that you have both the top and the bottom for each cookie.

Somewhere among the bending grass they lay
To dream of days to come with gentle hearts
And seek to fly above the birds at play
In hopes and wishes that these dreams impart
Caress the face of love with captured tear
And sense a world now found in paradise
Forever bound by truest love sincere
To love's altar these hearts will sacrifice
The sun will be the witness to this day
And hear the words they whisper to each ear
The moon lights silhouetts as love conveys
With glowing ambiance of shadows near
Confessed their love as witness on this day

The History of the National Parks Conservation Association
NPCA's mission: to protect and enhance America's National Park System for present and future generations.
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is an independent, nonpartisan voice working to address major threats facing the National Park System. NPCA was established in 1919, just three years after the National Park Service. Stephen Mather, the first director of the Park Service, was one of our founders. He felt very strongly that the national parks would need an independent voice—outside the political system—to ensure these places remained unimpaired for future generations. Now, nearly one hundred years later, NPCA has a million members and supporters. In addition to our LEED-certified national headquarters in Washington, D.C., NPCA has 24 regional and field offices around the country.
Learn more about NPCA's history.
Our Core Values
At NPCA our work to protect and enhance our national parks is guided by six core values: Commitment to Mission, Empowerment, Teamwork, Accountability, Innovation, and Diversity.
Our core values embolden NPCA to achieve excellence; unite us with one another, our members, volunteers and partners; and fuel our commitment to become the catalyst and leader of a national parks movement that fulfills our shared mission to protect and enhance America's national parks for present and future generations.

How Planning Ahead Can Protect Your Brand and Balance Sheet
Jan. 6, 2014 - Even organizations with the best safety records and controls can sometimes find themselves dealing with a product recall situation. Retailers with an "it will never happen to me" mindset, or those who simply neglect to prepare for the consequences of a product recall, may be putting long-term revenue prospects for their products and their brand at risk.
Many retail companies regard product recalls as an issue for their suppliers and manufacturers. This view is misinformed. It is important for retail companies to understand that importers, distributors, merchants and marketers can all be held responsible for a recall, even if their products are manufactured abroad by another company. Retailers need to manage their supplier relationships to ensure they are manufacturing to U.S. standards.

January 2, 2014 - For the longest time, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions have been kept hidden from the sales floor, residing somewhere in the back or at a brand's headquarters. This is exactly where it shouldn't be because the sales floor is where customer relationships are formed and strengthened over time (which is what a CRM is meant to help with). Customer experience solutions (such as CRM) as well as sales associates play a powerful role in influencing what customers actually buy. Certainly store location, prices and selection are important but most brands also optimize for these factors so these don't play as strong of a role in the battle for the customer's heart and mind (and dollar).

$2.6 million grant funds new ATLSS earthquake lab
ATLSS is the nation's leading laboratory for the large-scale testing of bridges, buildings and other structures.
ATLSS--Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems--has received a $2.6 million grant from the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). ATLSS also will receive $344,000 from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Technology Alliance and $228,000 from Lehigh.
The grant is part of a 15-year initiative by the National Science Foundation, through which Lehigh and 14 other universities in the "NEES Network" will conduct research to develop cost-effective ways of mitigating earthquake destruction. Each university will build an Equipment Site; each site will be commissioned by Oct. 1, 2004, and operate under NSF sponsorship for 10 years.
"This grant will enable Lehigh and the 14 other universities with NEES collaborating Equipment Sites to enter the next generation of earthquake engineering research," says Jim Ricles, professor of civil and environmental engineering and principal investigator for Lehigh's NEES Equipment Site grant.
Each university, Ricles says, will perform a different aspect of research. Their efforts will be coordinated through a consortium developer in Richmond, Calif.
Under the grant, ATLSS will build a real-time, multi-directional testing lab that can simulate the effect on large structures of the ground-shaking caused by earthquakes. The lab will also monitor response of the structures of these quake "loads."
The new lab will be linked to the NEES network through the Mid-Atlantic GigaPop Internet 2 (MAGPI). The connection will enable engineers at NEES sites and other remote locations to operate experiments on the new facility. Likewise, ATLSS will be able to "broadcast" its experiments and share data in real time by streaming video over the Internet, Ricles says. The telepresence capabilities of the Lehigh NEES Equipment Site will enable the public-- including students at Lehigh and other universities, K-12 students, and practicing engineers--to take part in earthquake engineer research.
"The NEES grant is one of the biggest equipment grants ATLSS has received in its 16-year history," ATLSS director Richard Sause says. "It enables us to retain our competitive edge in earthquake engineering research and to interact with the other major players in the field."
Preparing for the worst case
The goal of the NEES program is to lessen the damage caused by earthquakes by using new materials and new building methods, and by gaining a better understanding of the interactions between structures and the soils that support and abut them.
ATLSS researchers, in addition to developing new testing techniques that integrate experimental and analytical research, will explore the use of advanced sensors--including MEMS-based (micro-electrical mechanical systems) accelerometers, piezoelectric transducers, and fiber optic strain gages--to monitor the performance of structures. And they will experiment with the wireless transmission of the data retrieved by those sensors.
The new equipment provided by the NEES grant will enhance ATLSS's facilities, which now include a strong floor that covers 372 square meters and a multi-directional reaction wall--largest in North America--that stands 15 meters tall at one end and decreases, in four incremental steps over a length of 32 meters, to heights of 12.2 meters, 9.1 meters and 6.1 meters.
The actuators, hydraulic systems modification, and remaining equipment provided by the grant will give the lab new dynamic capabilities, enabling it to simulate and sustain the effects of the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) for a duration of more than 30 seconds. The MCE event is an earthquake of such large magnitude that it occurs only once in 2,500 years. In an MCE event, structures properly designed by current standards are expected be on the verge of collapse.
In its brief history, ATLSS has become synonymous with the large-scale stress testing of large structures and their components. Experiments performed at the research center can simulate in six months or a year the total punishment that a bridge, for example, would sustain from 30 years of traffic. Structures tested at ATLSS include cross-sections of prototype double-hulled U.S. Navy combat ships and a 60-foot-long, two-lane-wide prototype of New York City's Williamsburg Bridge deck.
Currently, ATLSS engineers are conducting tests on a full-scale deck prototype of New York's Bronx-Whitestone Bridge.
Besides Ricles and Sause, the investigators taking part in Lehigh's NEES project include Clay Naito, Sibel Pamukcu, and Yunfeng Zhang, all professors in the department of civil and environmental engineering. Project managers are John Bower, ATLSS deputy director, and Robert Alpago, ATLSS associate director. Frank Stokes, ATLSS research scientist, is serving as lab manager, and Peter Bryan, ATLSS systems manager, as information technologist. Xiaoping Zhang has recently joined ATLSS to serve as a research scientist for the project.
Besides Lehigh and Illinois, the universities taking part in the NEES initiative include Brigham Young University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, Cornell University, the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities, the University of Nevada at Reno, Oregon State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, SUNY-Buffalo, the University of Texas at Austin, UCLA, UC-Berkeley, UC-Davis, and UC-San Diego.

Orange Is The New Black Episode Guide
Orange Is The New Black is based upon a book that was based upon the author's experiences while in a women's prison. You can read up more about the story behind the hit Netflix exclusive here. The story is centered around Piper Chapman, which is based upon the real life experiences of Piper Kerman who was the inspiration for the TV series. She authored the book Orange Is The New Black which was adapted by the creator of Weeds, Jenji Kohan into the Netflix exclusive series. The show has been given some awesome reviews and has picked up quite a large following. The show was picked up for a second season prior to the first season had even been released on Netflix. Orange is the New Black has been renewed for a 3rd season before Season 2 ever premiered!
The show follows Netflix's new business plan with every episode of the season being released at the same time. This allows for binge watching of the programs and allows for word of mouth to spread hype about the show. From there it snowballs into becoming a huge deal and with the production, acting and writing of Orange Is The New Black, it's bound become an ever bigger hit.
Since the show has been adapted by Jenji Kohan, the show features many actors from the Weeds series. It's always a nice surprise to see another one pop up while the season progresses. The main character, Piper is played by Taylor Schilling who gets in trouble because of her slight involvement in a drug deal. She was connected to the drug deal by Alex Vause, played by former That 70's Show star, Laura Prepon. The drug deal had taken place years prior to the current time frame of the story. Piper is current engaged to Larry Bloom who is played by Jason Biggs of American Pie fame. Plenty of other characters are present in Orange Is The New Black and our Orange Is The New Black Episode Guide will introduce you to some of these characters. You can also find more information about them here; Orange Is The New Black Cast.

In fact, its full of fright!For the second year in a row, the Madison-Danville Jaycees will be sponsoring a Haunted Trail of Horror at the Julian attraction.Were known for our award-winning haunted house we did for years in Madison, but its time to switch things up with a haunted trail, said Kris Richmond, president of the Madison-Danville Jaycees. The scare quality and expertise is still there, just in an outdoor setting.Winding walkways and slender trees create a spooky atmosphere for the trail, while guests are transported into another dimension. Creepy scenes navigate guests eventually leading into a blacked out maze for the ultimate thrill.We plan to switch it up each night, so that if you visit the trail multiple times you wont be able to pinpoint the scares, Richmond said. We want it to be different experience each time someone goes through.Opening night is Friday, Oct. 19, and the trail will also operate on Oct. 20, 26, 27 and 30. The trail begins at 7 p.m., with the last group going through at 11 p.m., Richmond added.Admission is $5 per person, but guests may receive $1 off by bringing a new or gently used coat to donate.Richmond said the trail is not recommended for the faint of heart, children, pregnant women or anyone with serious health problems, including epilepsy or a heart condition.The Jaycees is an international nonprofit community organization and is dedicated to promoting volunteerism and leadership in young adults. All proceeds from the trail will be used by the Madison-Danville Jaycees to continue developing their mission, Richmond said.For more information on the haunted trail, visit online at www.facebook.com/hauntedtrailofhorror

For the 50th consecutive year, Fort Klock celebrated Independence Day with its annual strawberry festival, offering a little something for everyone on the Fourth of July.
The annual celebration at the fortified homestead was funded entirely from donations and fundraisers and included a reading of the Declaration of Independence by Fort Klock Historic Restoration President Eugene Wagner. Wagner said he was pleased with the turnout.
"The Independence Day celebration and strawberry festival is one of our larger events, second only to the fall craft fair, and is a good opportunity for us to let the community know about our site and our organization," he said. "As an all-volunteer organization it is important that we get the word out about what we do here at Fort Klock and about the events we have coming up."
Members of the Third Battalion of the Tryon County Militia were on hand Wednesday afternoon to demonstrate weapons and model 18th century garb, as was Emily Loadwick who displayed and sold handsewn, reproduced clothing from the 18th and 19th centuries. Additionally, blacksmith Steve Gurzler led demonstrations and Anita Smith led class in the one-room schoolhouse.
Though Fort Klock was filled with patriotic sentiment throughout the day, Wagner said the strawberry shortcake, cakes, cookies and other home baked treats stole the show.
"It's fun for everyone to come out and try recipes from years ago," said Wagner. "It's important to hear the Declaration of Independence because that is the reason for the Fourth of July celebration, but it's also important for families and neighbors to come out and enjoy themselves and the treats."
As this is the 50th anniversary year for Fort Klock, Wagner said the historic site has a number of events planned, including a concert by Stone Soup on Friday, July 27, at 7 p.m., the annual young pioneer program July 31 to Aug. 2 and the Klock family reunion on Saturday, Aug. 4.
Fort Klock will also feature its two day craft fair on Sept. 8 and 9. This event, said Wagner, will highlight the works of more than 100 crafters and artists. Phone 518-568-7779 for information.

DURHAM, N.H. - A trip by nationally ranked Boston College to Lundholm Gymnasium for the 2005 UNH Thanksgiving Tournament highlights the 2005-06 schedule for the Wildcat women's basketball team, released today by the UNH athletic department.
Besides the Eagles, the Wildcats will welcome Cornell and North Texas for the two-day tournament on Nov. 26-27. UNH will face Cornell and Boston College will play North Texas on the first day, with the two losers meeting in the next day's consolation game followed by the championship game between the two winners from the previous day.
Coming off a 15-14 record in 2004-05, the Wildcats will begin this season on the road for the first time in four years, traveling to New Haven, Conn., to face head coach Sue Johnson's alma mater Yale on Nov. 19. The home opener for Johnson's squad comes on Nov. 22 against the Marist Red Foxes at 7 p.m.
The Wildcats will have only one home game in December, a Dec. 4 matinee against UMass, the first meeting between the neighboring state universities in three years. New Hampshire will travel to Wagner, Colgate, and former conference rival Northeastern in December, plus participate in a tournament at Lehigh University along with Towson and Fairfield at the end of the month.
UNH, after a 10-8 conference record and a third-place finish in America East last season, opens conference play at Lundholm Gym against UMBC on Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. Conference play is interrupted by a trip across the state to face defending Ivy League champion Dartmouth on Jan. 11.

WBFT TV's Mark Lilley succumbs
Mark Lilley's death Sunday afternoon left a void in the hearts of many of locals whose lives he touched — as well as friends and family who remembered him as giving and devoted.
Lilley was the general manager of WBFT TV 46 in Sanford and performed virtually every job or task imaginable for the local public access station. A major fund-raiser was held for him late last year that raised more than $50,000 to help cover his medical bills related to a complicated surgery involving several organ transplants, as well as his family's living expenses when they traveled to be with him at the Duke University Hospital.
It was there he died, according to a message his wife, Kim, posted on Facebook, writing: "He left with a tear in his eye, and I knew he had met our Savior. What a sweet and wonderful day — Sunday — to leave this life on earth to be with the Heavenly Father. What a legacy he leaves for us to follow."
A viewing will be held tonight at Miller-Boles Funeral Home, which is assisting the family, starting at 6 p.m. For further details, see Lilley's obituary in today's edition of The Herald.
Tim Copas, who organized the fund-raiser, said he lost a friend "who would you give you the shirt off his back" and always wanted to be filming things in Lee County that would affect locals — no matter the subject, and no matter if he was getting paid to do it or not.
"As far as the community goes, he was always there to try to cover whatever went on in Sanford in the last 10 years," he said. Copas noted that even while Lilley was in and out of the hospital this past year, he was working with the school system to start a program to help students access a wireless network even if they don't have Internet at home, offering use of the TV station's antenna and acting as a middleman between Lee County Schools and his contacts in the technology industry.
"He was my friend, I'll miss him, and its a sad day for Sanford," Copas said.

I Didn't Ask to Fall in Love
May love drive away the darkness and paint a bright future into the souls of these children. May our hearts be torn apart and filled by the peace overflowing in the laughter of these lives.
Why Do We Step Out in Faith?
Why do we bother stepping out in faith at all? One simple, yet important reason, because we love God our Father.
An Action of Love
As the woman shared her tragedy through her tears, the implementer handed her the plastic bag that was in her hand. Inside was a chicken, ready to be cooked.
Pray for Your Sponsored Child: Peace-Loving
Pray that your sponsored child would love peace and reject useless quarreling. Pray that they would become peace makers in their community.
Where Is the Love?
It is true that Christ did plenty of rebuking; however, the people He rebuked were using religion to abuse and hurt others. Are Christians today that much different?
Let Us Never Lose Hope
The hope of the world lies in things that perish — a better job, a higher income, a bigger car, a larger house. In contrast, the hope that God offers us is divine and eternal.
Do I Really Trust?
God is completely trustworthy and always good. And no matter what our circumstances, we can trust Him.
Pray that your sponsored child would learn to cling to God's Word and treasure its words as their comfort and treasure.
Pray for Your Sponsored Child: Love
Although our sponsored children don't have access to many material resources, they have access to the immeasurable love of Christ! Pray that your sponsored child would live a life of love — committed to the love of their Lord and the love of others around them.
Endless Love
"Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name" is not just about the poverty of finances or knowledge, but the poverty of love and care that our children lack most.
Why Do We Do What We Do?
Why do you do what you do and how do you explain the "whys" to others in your life?
World Water Day 2012 – For the Love of Water
Today — World Water Day — it's necessary to remember that water is life.
Kim assumed that our ministry would change her perspective as an adult, but wasn't sure what to expect when it came to her children. After becoming a sponsor, she has seen first-hand six ways child sponsorship has changed the lives of her 6 and 2-year-olds.
In A Place At The Table, author Chris Seay proposes that we spend 40 days in a fast with a unique twist: eat what our sponsored child eats. And in the process, recapture gratitude and a sense of solidarity with the poor.
Actively Extend Grace
Be challenged today to extend grace to someone. Don't just pray. Do something. It can be the difference between life and death for a hurting soul.
Christian Love and Confrontation
As Christians, if we truly love one another as Jesus says we ought, then we need to be willing to pursue loving confrontation and be willing to humbly accept correction.
Lead with Love
It is very easy for leaders to see people's strengths through love. Love even makes it easier to correct or discipline the people you lead.
Carry the Love of Jesus to the Little Ones
One young boy came the child development center every day to have something to eat. It was quickly discovered though that he was seeking something more.
God's Love for the World Is Personal
A sacrificing love still touches the spirit, heart, and soul of each one of us who is God's unique, beloved creation.
He Shall Direct Your Paths
If you will love God with your whole heart and trust fully in Him, He will direct you. He wants to use your gifts and experiences to accomplish His perfect plan for your life. Where will loving God lead you?
Just Love Me
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." — Matthew 22:37–38 (NIV)

Mayor: Toledo at ' pivotal point,' but 'closed minds' often hold it backWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
DELMENHORST, GERMANY — Mayor Mike Bell said Toledo is at "a pivotal point," but expressed frustration with the general unwillingness of residents to "think outside the box."
The comment came in Delmenhorst, Germany, on April 10, a day after a visit to Zug, Switzerland, where Bell met with mayor Dolfi Müller.
The two mayors – who Bell said are the same age and have similar political histories – discussed their cities, including city planning and ways to attract and retain residents, especially young people.
"We're always trying to find the best for the people that live in our cities," Bell said. "Whenever I'm traveling I'm trying to figure out how we can do some of the same things. We deal with so much close-mindedness inside our city on issues that are outside the box or progressive and a lot of it doesn't have to cost a whole lot.
"Zug is one of the highest quality of life cities in the world," Bell said. "If you're going to benchmark yourself against something, benchmark yourself against something that's one of the best.
"They had a lot of great qualities I thought we could do in Toledo if we had an open mind, but you've got to really have an open mind.
"You shut off a street, you redirect traffic, you create the energy, the synergy. … You start to create the environment that has people coming and hanging out in a certain area, which then draws people back to your Downtown area.
"We could close some streets off in our Downtown area to make market places, cafe areas, things like that," Bell said. "We have the ability to do that because we have some older buildings, but you have to think outside the box.
"People back home, they squawk a little bit on doing things creatively but it works in these types of environments because it becomes a gathering point for people to come sit down and have coffee and socialize. It's integrating a lot of different dimensions, which help create that quality of life."
Bell is visiting Germany to attend the Hannover Messe, one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world. He will also spend time in Toledo's sister city Delmenhorst.
Bell said the visit to Zug reminded him and inspired him of many of the goals of the Future of Toledo initiative, a project Bell has been involved with for several years.
He said he wants to keep pushing for creative solutions and trying "to turn the direction of Toledo."
"We're at a pivotal point in being able to become something great," Bell said. "We have the chemistry to make it happen because so many younger people are stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for Toledo. With that type of energy, you don't want to lose those people because that's your core. If you've got your young people believing in you, that's half the battle."
On April 12, Bell and other Toledo representatives plan to tour the Metropolitan Solutions showcase at the Hannover Messe. The exhibition is one of the largest international platforms presenting "cross-industry technological solutions for urban infrastructures" and where exhibitors "showcase intelligent solution ideas for the urban challenges of the present and the future," according to fair's website.
While at the fair, the mayor will also be meeting with at least six companies to showcase Toledo as a possible location for U.S. business expansion. A vibrant city is something many companies look for, Bell said.
"Most of these companies work off a lot of the energy of their younger people so they have to create the amenities that make young people want to live in your city," Bell said. "You really gotta focus on how do you take these young technical people who have a whole lot of energy and new ideas and concepts and get them to where they want to be in our metropolitan area, so they don't want to go somewhere else. That's part of what we're fighting inside our cities."
Also traveling to Germany are Deputy Mayor of External Affairs and Economic Development Paul Syring, City Finance Director Patrick McLean, Public Information Officer Jen Sorgenfrei, Regional Growth Partnership Vice President International Development D. Paul Zito, University of Toledo Associate Director Undergraduate Admission Mark Schroeder, Toledo Sister Cities International Executive Director Susan Miko and private individual Christine Luttmann.

Order badges and practice round tickets for the sold out Masters Golf Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club. A list of Masters Golf Tickets prices and ticket selections are available online for 2008 Masters Tournament by clicking on one of the purchase links on this page. All Masters Tickets (Augusta National) obtained are sold over face value based upon the current market value and availability of the ticket. You can be certain that your Masters Tickets order will be given the greatest care to allow us to offer you with Masters Golf Tickets or any other sporting event.
Masters Golf:
The 2008 Masters Tournament is one of the most highly anticipated golf tournaments of the year and is the pinnacle of the PGA tour. It is one of four major championships in men's professional golf and the first of the four played each year. Over 16 million people watch the Masters on television while only a few are able to watch in person. For over 60 years the world's greatest golfers have gathered at Augusta, Georgia to compete for the most coveted prize in all of golf - the Green Jacket. By doing so, golf's greatest legends are forever immortalized as Masters Champions.
The Augusta National Golf club has been forever immortalized as well. Unlike other championships, the Masters is held every year at the same location - the Augusta National Golf Club. The Augusta National Golf Club, located in beautiful Augusta, Georgia is a prestigious private golf club. This highly private golf club has only 300 members at any given time and fees are reported to range from anywhere between $250,000 to $500,000 and membership is by invitation only.
The Masters was originally started by Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones who also designed the Augusta national with the help of architect Alister MacKenzie. The course also showcases the beauty of Augusta, Georgia with hole names such as 'Pink Dogwood', 'Flowering Peach', and 'Magnolia'.
All of the legends dream of winning the Masters - not only for the prize money, which in 2007 was $7.25 million, but also for the coveted Green Jacket. Every member of Augusta National receives a green jacket - which is a sports coat with the club's logo on the left breast. The idea of the Green Jacket originally came from club co-founder Clifford Roberts, who wanted to be able to distinguish visiting patrons from members. The winner of each years Masters becomes an honorary member, and thus receives a Green Jacket. The winner from the previous year presents the new winner with the Green Jacket. The Green Jacket may only be worn on club grounds, with the exception of the current Masters champion. The tournament winner may wear the jacket off grounds for one year, but after that the jacket hangs at the club
With all the lore and distinction of Augusta National Golf Club, it is a true honor to be able to attend the Masters, even as a viewer with a blue jacket.

of Montreal is an indie pop band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1997. The band is fronted by Kevin Barnes, who writes, composes, and plays most of the music for his albums. They were among the second wave of groups to emerge from The Elephant 6 Recording Company and the group has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to their interest in combining musical experimentation with the basic tenets of pop i.e. catchy melodies and sing-along choruses.

Soaps Boards :: Dallas Forum :: Rebecca
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
My only question is that Christopher and Rebecca would be cousins. We know that Chris is adopted but you would think he would know his own cousin and why would they put him with his cousin? That is kinda gross even though there is no blood relation.
Quote bridge1: My opinion is that Rebecca real name is really Pamela Rebecca Barnes. Year's ago Cliff Barnes and Afton Cooper were an item and she left Cliff cause of his obsession w/the Ewings. However, she did have his child Pamela REbecca I am wondering is Afton maybe in trouble and Cliff may be the only one to help and in a sick way he is using his daughter??? The only way he will help Afton is if Rebecca does what he wants. Only my opinion but CLiff is not above using his own flesh and blood to hurt the Ewings.
I was also wondering if she is Afton's daughter. If Afton took her away from Dallas when she was young and she and Christopher did not grow up together, it would explain why he didn't know his own cousin. And if she grew up hearing nothing but bad things about the Ewings from both Cliff and Afton, it would explain why she is helping her father to bring them down.

In a claim likely to cause consternation from Muslim smokers, a Dutch author has published a book that claims that pig blood is used to make cigarette filters.
Pig 05049, written by Christien Meindertsma, lists 185 different ways that pigs' body parts can be used, including in the manufacture of sweets, shampoo, bread, beer and bullets.
Pig hemoglobin is, according to the book, used to filter harmful chemicals in cigarettes.
The Indonesian Consumer Protection Foundation (YLKI) called on authorities to investigate the claims. "If the claim is true then the National Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), the Ministry of Health and the Indonesian Ulema Council's Food and Drug Analysis Agency (LPPOM) should immediately conduct a sampling test," Tulus Abadi, chairman of the YLKI, told the Jakarta Globe.
Tulus said that Indonesian cigarette producers were using imported filters because they are not produced locally.
If the claims are true, Tulus said, the government has a stronger case to take a stand against tobacco. "As the most populous Muslim country, we should be really careful, most smokers in Indonesia are Muslims. How would they feel if they found out that the cigarettes they smoke were made using pig hemoglobin?" he said.
MUI chairman Amidhan said that MUI would not comment on the matter and would not conduct any certification test unless there was a request from the cigarette industry or the importer.
"Smoking is offensive and for now that's our stance. However this information should be regarded as a warning for smokers to be more aware," he said.
Professor Simon Chapman from the School of Public Health at the University of Sydney was quoted on the university's Web site as saying, "many devout Islamic and Jewish smokers and some vegetarians would be horrified to think they were putting a filter in their mouth which contained a pig product."

The travel training program at YAI Network in Astoria helps disabled adults ride public transportation on their own.
Since the program started two years ago, riders are taught how to get from home to YAI via bus and train, and beginning this fall a few participants were guided through going straight from home to their volunteer or job locations, cutting hours from their commute and giving them newly found independence. The individuals' challenges range from hearing impairment to developmental disabilities and cerebral palsy.
Mike B.'s travel time from his home in Belle Harbor to Astoria was two and a half hours on Access-a-Ride, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's bus system for the disabled. His commute was halved a year ago after he graduated from the travel program. He now rides the Q 22 to the Q 53 to the N or R train on his own.
He uses the extra time to help out with the fitness program and fill up water tanks at YAI. Mike also meets his girlfriend for breakfast before they both attend day programs.
"I can be more independent," Mike, 37, said. "It's much faster, much quicker."
Alex, 24, an LIC High School graduate, is just starting the program. He lives less than 30 minutes away from Astoria in Elmhurst and said he likes that he can sleep in instead of ride Access-a-Ride for hours.
"It's a huge quality-of-life change," said Stephanie Rozanski, supervisor of the program.
Skipping the MTA service not only gives the riders more flexibility with quicker routes, but a yearly bus pass saves several thousands of dollars less on transportation per person, YAI spokeswoman Lynn Berman said.
The training, which averages about 12 days, starts with Lisa Dawn-Pilgrim, the travel trainer with YAI Network, scoping out a student's route.
"We look for curb cutouts and how long traffic signals blink," Rozanski said.
After the best route is picked, the individuals are given an identification card that lists their route home. The participants are taught to wait until the green walk sign flashes on — not following the lead of many New Yorkers — and to listen for conductor announcements.
Part of the training includes getting the students lost a few times as well. In those situations the disabled adults are taught to ask the conductor or a police officer for help, not a stranger.
"You don't know who is safe or not," Rozanski said. "And not everyone gives the right directions," Dawn-Pilgrim added.
"I never get lost," Mike B. said with a smile.
"I watch for landmarks," Alex said.
The last stage of the training is a mock solo-trip. Dawn-Pilgrim says she has a last-minute appointment and leaves the students to get home by themselves, but unbeknownst to the travelers, a YAI employee shadows them.
Two students have not passed the program, and were asked to work on certain skills in their YAI groups, but 19 have made it through the test and now travel on their own.
"These guys want this more than anything," Rozanski said. "I can't imagine never being alone, and now they can access their city and be a part of the community."

Sugar High: Strudel at Feasting Fox

With the exception of the sausage-and-cheddar crêpe, each savory crêpe is a numbered variation on one of seven main ingredients: egg, bacon, goat cheese, roasted ham, Brie, "marinated spicy chicken" and roasted sirloin. These definitions are fluid, though. "Egg #4," for example, was notable for large pieces of crisp, flavorful bacon, while the sirloin in the "Roasted Sirloin #2" was blown away by exceptionally strong blue cheese. The pairing might have worked had the sirloin not been well done. As it was, the flavor was more cheese-on-toast than cheese-and-meat. And the crêpe itself didn't stand a chance.
The sweet crêpes were petite compared to the savory, and a simple lemon crêpe was practically a size zero. Actually, I liked the lemon crêpe very much. Its light flavor reminded me of a fortune cookie: a little vanilla, a little citrus. It would have gone well with Serendipity's dark-chocolate ice cream (one of several flavors available on its own or with a crêpe) had it not been twenty degrees outside.
Though the "Peanut Butter Cup" crêpe was about the same size as the lemon, it was so rich with dark chocolate and thick peanut butter that it seemed twice as big. A crêpe of figs poached in liquor brandy or rum, I'd guess with toasted pecans was almost as savory as it was sweet. Both were good, but you should consider each a meal by itself, rather than a dessert course.

After 11 a.m. Rooster offers several sandwich selections in addition to its crêpes. Here I had considerably less luck. The pork in a pulled pork sandwich was very tender (Rooster uses hormone- and antibiotic-free beef, pork and chicken from local sources), but it came in a barbecue sauce too sweet for my tastes, though I liked its gradual heat. The roasted ham on a croque monsieur was also quite good, but the sandwich itself was a disappointment. In fact, it wasn't a croque monsieur. It hadn't been grilled. The roasted ham and Gruyère cheese there were also supposed to be caramelized onions, but on my sandwich they were sparse were served on a soft, fresh roll instead. A sandwich with marinated chicken was an outright disaster, swampy with mayonnaise and marred by the presence of a chunk of bone.
Though its food needs tweaking here and there, Rooster is a great idea in a perfect spot. The mere fact that the corner of Locust and 11th seems able to support a neighborhood café is something to crow about. Whether you say cock-a-doodle-doo or cocorico is up to you.

(Editor's note: This is the eighth of a year-long monthly series about how alcohol and drug addiction affects the community and how those affected work to achieve a better life.)
(Editor's note: This is the eighth of a year-long monthly series about how alcohol and drug addiction affects the community and how those affected work to achieve a better life.)
Our judicial system is carefully built upon a system of checks and balances that ensure everyone involved gets a fair shake.
And as fair as that system is, the people who walk out of the courtroom ultimately can be placed in one of only two categories — winners or losers.
As with most legal proceedings, the definition of what is a win and what is a loss is purely subjective.
But there is one courtroom in Valencia County that — if the participants are willing — everyone can walk out of a winner.
Every two weeks, on Thursday morning, District Court Judge William Sanchez comes down to the first floor of the courthouse to preside over adult drug court.
The five-year-old program is a second-chance for local offenders with drug and alcohol addictions, says program manager Donald Garley.
Participants usually enter the program one of two ways — they are referred by a probation officer or a judge orders them into the 12-month program.
Garley said there are people in the program voluntarily, who aren't on probation. A recent graduate came back after a very stressful situation in her life, he said.
The year-long program is divided into four phases. During the first phase, participants are drug tested three times a week, go to individual and group counseling once a week and attend court every other Thursday to update Garley and Judge Sanchez on their progress.
Phases two, three and four are the same, except the drug tests are reduced to twice a week, Garley said.
The first time someone tests dirty, it's 24 hours in jail. The second time, they get 48 hours behind bars and the third time, Garley says program coordinators "do whatever we need to get their attention."
Garley has been the program manager since its inception. The adult drug court was formed after New Mexico Sen. Michael Sanchez (D-Belen) and the 13th Judicial District Court worked together to obtain funding.
"This is a great program. Our recidivism rate is still zero," Garley says. "Now there are a few who had problems with probation violations, but they committed no new crimes."
The court boasts about 55 graduates in its five-year tenure, he said.
Last Thursday, two young men were graduating and starting down the road to a new life while two more were just beginning.
An audience of nearly two dozen participants listened as Judge Sanchez welcomed the new participants and issued a warning: Bring in someone else's urine to try and game the system and face a fourth- degree felony.
He also talks about the people sitting behind the new members. They are there to help them succeed.
One by one, the men and women talk with the judge about how the last two weeks have gone. For the most part, things are unchanged — they are taking care of their children, spouses and parents, working jobs, looking for jobs, going to school and otherwise staying clean and out of trouble.
The judge asks about their families, even advises one man who works as a handy man to consider advertising on Craig's List.
Sanchez, the senior judge in the district, smiles and encourages, laughs and even makes an exceptionally bad joke.
"What did the pork chop say to the steak? Nice to 'meat' you," Sanchez says, all the while saying it was Garley who came up with the horrendous pun in the first place.
There are groans, chuckles and a lot of head shaking from those in the gallery.
"The judge is very relaxed with them," Garley says after court adjourns for the day. "But I tell them, he is a very different person on the third floor."
Sanchez shows his sterner side when he talks to one young man in the program, reminding the man that his friend sits in the Valencia County Detention Center, unable to be a part of the program due to something as petty as repeated traffic violations.
While it may be the small things that can break a person's journey to recovery, the participants say the program allows them to accomplish things they never thought possible while high.
One of the new graduates, who asked that his name not be used, called the drug court program life changing.
"I wasted 15 years of my life and had nothing to show for it but needle marks," the 30-year-old said. "You will get out what you put in. If you are willing to do the work, you will succeed."
While in the program, he earned his GED, is now holding down a full-time job and is enrolled in college courses, working toward a degree in history.
Saying he did "everything," the graduate admitted substance abuse was about making him feel whole.
"I finally figured out I don't need that," he said.
His smile is one of genuine happiness as he helps himself to a banana from among the snacks brought out to celebrate graduation day.
His fellow graduate, who asked we not use his real name, is 21 and married with two children. Zane was facing four years in prison, but instead his probation officer sent him to drug court as part of his 2 1/2-year probation.
"Like a lot of people here, I came from poverty, a broken home," Zane said.
Bored and broke, he got high for the first time at age 11.
"Everyone got into drugs," he says.
Drug court is a second chance, Zane said, and a great program if you want to do the work.
"I learned a lot about myself. I had a lot of anger from my childhood," he said. "I learned I don't need drugs to have fun. It was a waste of my life, my time and my money."
Vanessa is 31 and from Los Lunas. She was in drug court with her 4-year-old daughter.
She has been in the program for six months. Vanessa, who asked that we not use her last name, was on probation violation when her urine tested dirty for illegal drugs.
Vanessa said she would go see her probation officer, leave there and immediately use. She figured out how long she could use before her next visit and still have enough time to get clean for her urine test.
"I miscalculated that time," she says with a wry chuckle. "This was God's way to help me."
After her daughter was born, her own father died and the father of her child walked out of their lives. Vanessa held on for 10 months, but the stress became overwhelming, so she turned to meth to check out.
With a child to support, she has been looking for a job for four years. Last week she told the judge she had found one.
"I have accomplished a lot more here than I would have on my own," she said. "My relationship with my mom is better, too."
She would leave her daughter with her mother and go get high.
Through the program's mandatory counseling, Vanessa has learned a lot about herself.
"I realized that if I put my mind to something, I can do it," she said.
Frank Corral, 47, was more than willing to have his name published.
"A few years ago, my son was killed. I thought I was strong, thought I had things together," Corral said. "But I fell flat on my face."
He started drinking.
After a few run-ins with law enforcement, and charges ranging from evading arrest to trying to disarm an officer, the 47-year-old was put on probation and referred over to drug court.
"At probation it felt like they didn't really know my situation. I came here and they said, 'We're your friend.' Here it felt like I had friends, like somebody cared," he said. "God helped me be around good people."
The program allowed him to clear the cobwebs out of his mind, Corral said, and focus on the good in life.
"I want to help others out. If I had to do this again, I would," he said. "You get to know the judge, to talk to him, laugh and joke. We all work together as a team. Like Donald (Garley) says, the past is the past; it's not your future."
Corral has three weeks left in drug court and then another 10 months of probation.
Many of the participants are in their final phase of the program and Garley says he is extremely proud of what they have accomplished.
"Champions are made in the fourth quarter," is what he likes to say.
"You know, we all live in this valley. That's what this program does — it brings people back to life in this valley," he said.
"If they do the work, they will succeed. When they quit, they end up over there — VCDC,"
Garley points north through the courtroom window toward the county jail.
"One hundred percent."

Step 1: Getting ready
1. figure out how many eggs your going to want and set them on the counter for at least an hour
your also going to need
Cheese of your choice
sausage, bacon, ham, shrimp or etc
hot sauce
butter, margerine, bacon drippings, lard, olive oil or other cooking oil of your choice
a glass
an immersion blender or milkshake mixer or whisk and lots of elbow grease
Frying pan
an appetite
Step 2: The sausage
Step 3: The eggs part 2 and 3
Now for what I think sets my eggs apart, I didn't invent it, in fact Waffle House(tm) uses a similar machine to make their omolets. I used to use an immersion(stick) blender but I found the milkshake mixer at a thrift store for $3us ! It will double the volumn of your eggs by adding in air and make the finished results super fluffy...

1 cup
sweetened red bean paste
1 cup
sweet rice flour (mochiko)
1 teaspoon
green tea powder (matcha)
1 cup
1/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
cornstarch, for rolling out the dough
Very easy to make. Side note: the mochi dough is SUPER sticky, so be sure to prepare your surface and hands with startch before making the balls. Otherwise, very yummy and easy and fun!
Hi everyone, thank you so much for the feedback. Some reviewers are correct; I have made a mistake and the flour should be glutinous rice flour which can also be called Mochiko.
Also, the green tea powder is optional as is freezing the red bean paste. Freezing the red bean paste just makes the process less messy.
For the cooking time, one can lower it to 3 minutes and add 15 seconds at a time until the dough looks slightly translucent. However, be sure to keep the plastic wrap on for at least 3 minutes to keep the moisture in.
I'm sorry for all the mistakes but I am looking into correcting the recipe soon. Thanks!

Similar to a recipe on RecipeZaar - I didn't have the matcha (and the other recipe doesn't call for it), so I made it without. I've made it twice, experimenting with the microwave time - ours seems to heat things faster than others. You can also switch up the fillings. I've used super thick cheesecake pudding (1 1/2 c soy milk) as well as another batch with peanut butter. The red bean paste is our favorite, but we make due with what we have. Solution for getting the mochi into balls is to put the batch on plastic wrap dusted with potato or tapioca (cornstarch works, too) starch. Get some starch on one hand, put a cut piece into that hand, spoon in the filling, and pinch up the sides with the not-so-dusted hand. Keeps for a day or two in tightly sealed container lined with parchment paper. The pudding ones should be eaten almost right away. Thank you Katrina for sharing!
Super good. Super simple. Just beware of burning your hands with the hot mochi mix. I used bean paste out of a pouch and didn't need to freeze it; worked perfectly.
That was the most ridiculous mess I've ever attempted in my kitchen. Supper squishy, bloby mess. Did I microwave it too long, or not enough?
Now I see many make the same mistake I have made when I first started doing it. it wasnt till a few years later it was the type of rice flour....the rice flour people need is Glutonous rice flour or Mochiko. this gives it the sticky texture. Ive only seen it available by the name brands, but i wish everyone luck making this
Following this recipe resulted in an indestructible blog the consistency of rubber cement that was impossible to meld into any shape whatsoever.
I followed the instructions and even putting the mochi in the microwave for only 3 minutes but it became super hard--passed the point of being able to mix it still. Maybe you need to check on it ever 30 seconds? Or is there a way to make it in a pot where you can see it turn the consistency you want?

DuPree column: It's a bitter pill, but Duke's found Rx to football success
This one will be tough to swallow.
At the same time, Duke's football program should have plenty to build upon after the Blue Devils' 48-34 loss to Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl on Thursday night.
Duke had everything going its way, including reportedly having sold more tickets for its postseason game than any other ACC school.
The Blue Devils even jumped out to a 16-0 lead with 4:45 left in the first quarter when Tony Foster broke through to block a Cincinnati punt and recovered the ball for a touchdown.
But like Lucy luring Charlie Brown into whiffing on a kick, the Bearcats snatched away the momentum with a second-quarter barrage and took advantage of four turnovers by the Blue Devils to spoil their first bowl game since 1994.
"Obviously, this is a bowl-worthy team, not just a bowl-eligible team," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.
The Blue Devils earned the bowl trip by beating North Carolina 33-30 on Oct. 20. Duke finished with five straight losses, missing the school's first winning season by a single game.
"It's a step forward for this program," Duke senior wide receiver Connor Vernon said of the Blue Devils' season. "It's unfortunate that we couldn't get this win; that would have been that much of a bigger step in the right direction. (But) I think you can ask anyone in our conference and (anyone) who watched today, I think Duke football is relevant again.
"Obviously, Duke basketball is Duke basketball; it's going to be Duke basketball forever. But at the end of the day, Duke does have a football program."
It's a program that has improved from a winless season before Cutcliffe's arrival before the 2008 season to its 6-7 finish this year.
Vernon set standards for Duke and ACC receivers to pursue in future seasons, but he focused on more than numbers after his final collegiate game.
"You get the best of both worlds, really," Vernon said of playing at Duke. "You're going to a program that is competing for championships. We were one game away from going to the ACC Championship; we beat Georgia Tech, we play for the ACC Championship.
"You're (also) getting that degree, ... (and) that Duke name goes a long way. ... That Duke connection is so strong. I never really believed that at first, but it's absolutely true. It's unbelievable, the power of that university. Just saying, 'I went to Duke,' how many doors that opens."
Vernon knows that competing in postseason games that are decided in the final couple of possessions go even further in promoting the program.
"We're a story worth telling," he said. "We put up a great fight tonight. We had 115 guys who got behind each other. ...
"That was an exciting football game to watch. It was a fun game; a game of inches."
Sustaining success will be the job for Cutcliffe's staff beginning today. The exposure of a national television audience goes a long way in gaining the attention of major recruits.
Maybe they didn't get the job done in their first bowl game in 17 seasons, but the experience gained could be the springboard that puts the Blue Devils in position to continue to improve.
"This team will be back in a bowl game; I promise," Vernon said.
