School bells ring no more, alas
MORGANFIELD, Ky. - He stood barefooted at the counter in front of me at a little five-and-dime, a freckle-faced boy of 7 or so.
His hair was long, uncombed and his heels were rusty, the way heels get when they have not received the hygienic care that heels do demand — and I would have bet a quarter that his pants were hand-me-downs, the way they bagged in the seat.
In one grubby hand he clutched several crumpled dollar bills; in the other, drawn up to his chest, was the assorted paraphernalia of a youngster going back to school, including four yellow pencils and a brand new tablet (not a Big Chief, but a fine tablet just the same).
And as he laid his rat's nest of bills upon the counter and waited for his change, I felt a stab of envy — and, yes, of sadness, too — that I myself had no need to lay in supplies after a magnificent summer.
I can remember to this day the thrill of buying the supplies that I would need and some that I only pretended to need, because they would be so nice to own.
And I can remember the pride of ownership I felt in a brand new Big Chief tablet, its artistic cover — an Indian chief with a hooked nose — still stiff and unmarked, its blank pages lying there by the smooth hundreds for my personal use.
I don't suppose that a person is ever richer — even in years to come, when he has money jingling in his pockets and a car to drive — than when he holds a new yellow pencil in his hands, its point as sharp as a needle.
It is, of course, a sad fact of life that before noon of the first day that same handsome pencil will have deep teeth marks in it and part of the eraser gnawed way, for the opening of school is always a tense occasion. But while it was still new, still unmarked by its nervous scholar, a new pencil was just about the finest instrument that mankind ever devised.
And while you used it, its point so sharp and sensitive, the rows of handwriting spirals in your tablet seemed to appear with the speed of light, effortlessly and accurate, so that the teacher complimented you and, perhaps, held up your tablet for your classmates to see.
And I have often wondered, in the years since, how one whose penmanship was held up as a model for others to follow could now have fallen upon such troubled times — with a handwriting so atrocious that it is all but undecipherable.
But with a new pencil in my hands, and a Big Chief at my elbow, I could still swiftly fill page after page with those daffy spirals.
Well, the towhead at the counter picked up his change, lingered for a moment at a colorful display of comic books, then stepped outside into the summer sun, clutching his school supplies to him, and set off with all the enthusiasm of a sleepy, old dog down the sidewalk.
I made my own purchase — a bottle of aspirins, for these times are rather tense themselves — and followed him out the door, but he had already vanished around the corner.
But many times that day, living as a reluctant captive in a grown-up world, I found myself thinking back to the ancient days when I was 7, and the new term had just begun.
The new clothes, stiff and embarrassingly noisy when I walked ...
The smell of the tumbling mats in the gym and of the lockered hallways and the smell, most especially, of the classroom on a winter day — a mingled smell of chalk dust and hissing radiators ...
And the kids in the music room just down the hall, singing "Danny Boy" — a sad and beautiful sound that haunts me to this day, and takes me back across the years whenever I hear it.
And when some grubby kid ahead of me at the counter buys his school supplies, while I wait to buy something to kill the pain of growing old, why I am eaten with envy, and with a desire to be 7 again, making miraculous spirals in my Big Chief tablet.

Darlington, S.C. (May 9, 2009) – With two wins under his belt at Darlington Raceway, Greg Biffle had high expectations for this weekend's race. After getting an early draw for qualifying, Biffle turned in the 11th fastest lap. He and the 3M team were a little disappointed with their starting position but Biffle began picking up positions shortly after the green flag dropped. He took the lead on lap 123 when the team sent him out of the pits first. Biffle maintained the lead for over 90 laps, dropped back after a four tire stop, regained the lead on lap 253 and dropped back to ninth again after a four tire stop on lap 216. A spin on lap 295 sent Biffle into the inside wall which resulted in minor left front fender damage. Biffle and the 3M team fought back from 23rd for an eighth-place finish. The top-10 finish moved the team up two positions to ninth in the point standings.
After turning in the second and seventh fastest times in the practices on Friday, Biffle went out third for qualifying. As it had rained just before qualifying, the track conditions were a little different than in practice. Biffle was eleventh on the board when qualifying was over for a starting position on the inside of row six.
After the drop of the green flag, Biffle dropped back a little and reported that the car was too loose. He was running 13th when the first caution came out on lap four but had made his way up to eighth by the second caution on lap 21. He pitted during the second caution for two tires but no adjustments were made as the car's handling had improved. On lap 82, however, Biffle made his second pit stop of the day and the team gave him a spring rubber adjustment to correct the tight handling condition the car had acquired since the first stop.
During a pit stop for four tires on lap 120, the 3M crew sent Biffle out with the lead. He was able to maintain the lead until lap 216 when he pitted under yellow for four tires and fuel. Several other teams took on only two tires and Biffle restarted eighth on lap 219. By lap 249, Biffle had made his way back up to fifth and pitted under yellow for two tires and a wedge adjustment. He returned to the track with the lead and the field restarted on lap 253.
Biffle was able to hold the lead again until the next caution on lap 275 and then pitted for four tires and fuel. Again, several teams took only two tires or did not pit and Biffle restarted ninth on lap 281. He reported that the car was a little loose and spun into the inside wall 14 laps later. The contact caused minor damage to the left front fender but the team was able to repair it in the pits. Biffle restarted 21st on lap 300 and quickly dropped back to 23rd with a loose racecar.
On lap 331, Biffle made his way back into the top 10 and was able to pick up two more spots in the remaining laps for an eighth-place finish.
"I really don't know what happened," said Biffle in reference to his spin. "The car just took off. I almost wrecked off of two and then it spun out down there by itself. I have no idea. I had a great car, but I just couldn't get back up there."
Following their eighth-place finish in Darlington, Greg Biffle and the 3M team moved up two spots to ninth in the Sprint Cup point standings. They are 256 points behind leader Jeff Gordon but 81 points ahead of 13th. The 3M team will return to the track on Saturday, May 18th at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the Sprint All-Star Challenge.

Quaker heritage seeps into most everyday traditions on Wilmington College's leafy campus here, from Joshua Kincaid's conversations with his professors to Jim Reynolds' commute to work.
Kincaid, a senior from Goshen, says it took a while to get used to calling everybody on campus by first name, an outgrowth of Quaker egalitarianism.
That includes Reynolds, Wilmington's president since February 2012 who was formally inaugurated today. He parks on the street the same as anybody else, since there are no reserved spaces. ...

A method for reducing passivation of a lithium anode used in a cell having a liquid thionyl chloride cathode is disclosed, characterized in that the anode is coated before the assembly of the cell with a solution of an alkyl 2-cyanoacrylate, a solvent, and lithium perchlorate.
1. The method for reducing passivation of a lithium electrode used in a cell having a thionyl chloride liquid cathode which comprises coating said lithium electrode before assembly into said cell with a solution of an alkyl 2-cyanoacrylate, a solvent and lithium perchlorate.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 wherein lithium perchlorate is present in said solution in an effective concentration up to about 3 molar.
The present invention is directed to a method for reducing voltage delay encountered in, for example, lithiumthionyl chloride cells.
It is known in the art that electrochemical cells having an anode of lithium or other Group I metal have high energy densities, high voltages, wide temperature operating ranges, long shelf-life and relatively low cost.
In such cells, the type now commonly referred to as the "liquid cathode" cell are of particular interest. These cells are described, for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,926,669 and in British Pat. No. 1,409,307. In accordance with the teachings of the aforementioned patents, the electrolyte comprises an oxyhalide, for example thionyl chloride.
One attractive system is provided through the use of thionyl chloride, a solute of lithium aluminum tetrachloride, a lithium anode and a cathode current collector, which may be for example compressed carbon black. Despite the numerous advantages envisioned for lithium liquid cathode batteries, it has been found that problems occur with these cells. A particular problem has been identified as that of voltage delay particularly occurring when the batteries are stored at elevated temperatures. The voltage delay problem is characterized by two features; to wit, a dip in voltage below a defined cutoff voltage and the time required for the voltage to rise back to the cutoff voltage. The problem is believed to result from passivation of the lithium anode due apparently to reactions between the lithium anode and constituents of the electrolyte.
In accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 4,170,693 it is proposed to minimize the voltage delay problem by coating the lithium anode with a cyanoacrylate polymeric coating.
The invention is directed to an improvement in the reduction of voltage delay of a lithium oxyhalide cell wherein the lithium is coated with a solution of cyanoacrylate containing a salt together with a solvent for the cyanocrylate in which the salt is also soluble.
FIG. 1 illustrates voltage delay curves determined on half cells using lithium anodes in a thionyl chloride solution of lithium aluminum tetrachloride after exposure of lithium to the electrolyte for various time periods and also includes curves showing the voltage delay resulting from cyanoacrylate treatments of the lithium.
FIG. 2 illustrates a comparison of the voltage delay curve of a lithium anode protected in accordance with the invention as compared to a prior art method.
In accordance with the invention a lithium anode is protected by a polymeric film made by dissolving a cyanoacrylate in a solvent and including in the mixture a salt which is soluble in the solvent.
The preferred protective mixture provided in accordance with the invention comprises a solution of the cyanoacrylate with an effective amount of lithium perchlorate dissolved therein. The solvents which may be used in accordance with the invention include ethylacetate, dimethoxyethane and toluene. Lithium perchlorate may be present in the solution in a concentration of about 0.4 molar to saturation, e.g. about 3 molar. Preferably the ratio of cyanoacrylate to solvent is about 1:5 by volume. Volume ratios from 1:6 to 1:2 are operable. The polymeric solution may be applied to the lithium electrode by dipping, spraying, painting, etc. No surface preparation of the lithium is required and the solvent evaporates quickly, leaving behind a polymeric film of cyanoacrylate.
In order to demonstrate the advantages resulting from the invention, a series of half cell tests were made in which a lithium anode was exposed to a thionyl chloride electrolyte containing lithium aluminum tetrachloride in a concentration of 1.6 molar. A constant current of 6 mA/cm2 was applied to the anode and the change in the anode voltage was monitored over time against a lithium reference electrode. A voltage of 850 millivolts was used as a cutoff voltage.
In FIG. 1 of the drawing are shown the voltage curves obtained in the cases of lithium electrodes which were exposed 1 day, 5 days, 10 days and 14 days to the electrolyte. It is to be seen that the voltage delay of the untreated lithium anode became deeper and longer lasting as the exposure time to the electrolyte increased. The experiments were repeated using lithium anodes which were coated with cyanoacrylate dissolved at a 1:3 volume ratio in ethylacetate solvent. The voltage delay curves for these electrodes are also shown in FIG. 1 as curves a', b' and d'. It is to be seen that the voltage delay is greatly alleviated by the cyanoacrylate coating.
An electrode produced in accordance with the invention wherein the lithium was coated with a 1:3 cyanoacrylate/ ethylacetate solution containing lithium perchlorate in a 1 molar concentration was also prepared and the voltage delay curve for this electrode is compared to the voltage delay curve for an electrode coated only with the cyanoacrylate film in FIG. 2. It is to be seen from FIG. 2 that the addition of the lithium perchlorate salt to the film produced the benefit of a lower voltage dip and a much quicker voltage recovery time. In this connection, the recovery time is defined as a time required for the voltage to reach a steady state level. The data comparing voltage delay for cyanoacrylate films without and with the lithium perchlorate addition are summarized in the following Table I:
TABLE I______________________________________ Improvement Recovery Voltage Over Preceding Time Dip Method Seconds______________________________________Not Coated 1.695V -- --Thin Coating 1.020 40% --(5 � 10-3 mm)Thick Coating 0.625 39% 20(10 � 10-3 mm)Thick Plus Salt 0.370 41% 0.5______________________________________
In other half-cell testing in a thionyl chloride electrolyte with 1.6 molar LiAlCl4 therein, it was observed that a 1:5 ratio of cyanoacrylate to ethyl acetate (EtOAc) solvent containing lithium perchlorate in 3 molar concentration (applied by dipping, 15-second immersion per dip) provided superior results as will be seen from the following Table II:
TABLE II______________________________________Vmin vs. Li ReferenceHalf-cell Data, 6 mA/cm2 PulseAverage Values of N CellsCoatingComposition Day 1 Day 1 + 3 N______________________________________1:5, 3M LiClO4 0.308 0.500 31:3, 1M LiClO4 0.380 1.318 21:3, 3M LiClO4 0.475 -- 31:3, 0.45M LiClO4 0.420 0.725 11:5, 3M LiClO4, 1.923 -- 2two coatings______________________________________
Coin cells having a rating of about 1.5 ampere hours produced using cyanoacrylate coated lithium electrodes with and without lithium perchlorate salt addition, a thionyl chloride electrolyte containing LiAlCl4 and a porous carbon cathode collector also demonstrated an improvement in relation to voltage delay as shown in the following Table III:
TABLE III______________________________________VOLTAGE DELAY DATA/TIMETO 2.7v, SECONDS (50 Ohm LOAD)Storage Anode CoatingsConditions 1 2______________________________________Initial 1.2 0.81 Day, 71� C. <0.1 <0.13 Days, 71� C. 2.0 0.11 Week, 71� C. 7.0 2.52 Weeks, 71� C. >120 >1201 Week, 45� C. 5.0 12 Weeks, 45� C. 2.5 3______________________________________ 1: Two 15 sec. dips, EtOAc: CA, 3:1 2: Two 15 sec. dips, 1M LiClO4, EtOAc: CA, 3:1
Uncoated lithium anodes soaked in electrolyte saturated wth LiClO4 demonstrated an improvement in voltage delay as compared to similar anodes soaked in electrolyte to which no LiClO4 had been added. It is also found that cyanoacrylate monomer is soluble in the electrolyte. Uncoated lithium anodes soaked in electrolyte containing dissolved monomer show an improvement in voltage delay but the monomer appears to react with the electrolyte and provides reduced efficacy over time.
The passivation effect on lithium electrodes appears to result from film formation on the lithium surface. The conditions leading to control of the film are obscure, but it is postulated that weaker films have a lesser tendency to passivate.
Alkyl 2-cyanoacrylates are unsaturated monomeric esters which polymerize at room temperature without added catalysts and which are used as adhesives. Polymerization is usually initiated by moisture present in the atmosphere. The compounds are described in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, John Wiley and Sons, 1964, Vol. 1, at pages 337 to 342.
In assembling cells in accordance with the invention, the separator is also coated with a cyanoacrylate film.
Analytical techniques including X-ray Fluorescence and Infra red spectroscopy have established that cyanoacrylate films cast from lithium perchlorate/ethyl acetate solution are not changed in chemical structure as compared to similar cast films produced without LiClO4 but that the salt is added to the polymer matrix. Additionally, the LiClO4 -doped film is opaque while the undoped cyanoacrylate film is much more transparent.
It is found that LiClO4 for use in accordance with the invention must be carefully dried to insure absence of water.
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the invention and appended claims.

Les Paul Goddess

I got my Les Paul Goddess in a used guitar shop. It had a few marks on the body but other than that it was fine. I love everything this guitar has to offer. As a small (100lb) female guitarist, the lighter frame and thinner neck offer me more mobility than other Gibson models. Its really easy to tune and restring and the pick-ups haven't needed any extra attention since I bought it in 2008. I use my Goddess through a Marshall amplifier and never once have I thought the sound was anything less than amazing. A bit pricey, but if you find a gently used one its well worth the price.
Great alternative for those who want a lighter and toneful Les Paul. It's got looks and style and a decent-not cheap- price tag. Female students really take to this one, and why not, it's about time they were catered to.
I bought this guitar couples of days ago.It's amazingly light and has very clear & nice tone.And this guitar looks so nice. Once you see Gibson Les Paul Goddess, you can't help falling in love her. Love Goddess!Seoul, Korea... June
This guitar is great don?t get me wrong there are minor problems, the first day I got it the strings were dinging like crazy I had to do major adjustments and it's not worth that much money. You?re better off with a Gibson sg standard
i have recently moved on from bass to play rythem guitar whilst i sing in a punk/metal band kinda like Bullet For My Valentine and when i was looking for my first guitar (ended up gettin a squire telecaster well it is a starter guitar XD and i would pick it over this anyday)and i tried out this it was terrible the sound is just euuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh cant put it into words i thought gibsons were supposed to b good ive only ever plyed Ibanez(basses anyway)and there so much better
This guitar is amazing. It has amazing tone. I play in an emo/rock band. And this guitar sounds great. The only complaint I have is that it is a little pricey. But it is well worth it.
Love this guitar! Light and a great tone!

1 1/2 cups
white sugar

1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups
cake flour
1 1/4 teaspoons
baking soda
3/4 teaspoon
1/2 cup
ground walnuts
1 cup
prepared chocolate fudge frosting
I do the same as the last reviewer and these are the BEST COOKIES. They are EXACTLY like the bakery. I take a blob of the dough and mix in some Special Dark cocoa, like maybe 1/3 cup. No measuring really! I also do not put so much melted ganache in center. I have also pressed the center dot into chocolate jimmies. If you run into someone who knows what a Chinese Cookie is, they will fall over when they taste them. EXCELLENT
I must have done something wrong, but I didn't have a good experience with these. I omitted walnuts and took other peoples recommendations and added the cocoa powder. They turned out looking like doodoo...the dough was not dough like. It was like it needed flour to become dough. It was runny, but not runny. I'm not making sense, but I followed the recipe exactly except for the walnuts and the cocoa powder. *sigh* I had so much hopes for this cookie, but I guess I'm doing it wrong. If anyone knows what I did wrong, let me know.

I wanted to update my review since I got creative this year and wanted to share. They are still one of my all-time favorite cookies. This year I separated the dough into halves, left one half vanilla, and then separated the 2nd half into thirds. I added cocoa powder to one, red coloring to another and green to the third, and then marbled the cookies. I coated the outside with chocolate sprinkles. I do recommend using somethihg like beaten egg white to coat the logs before rolling in nuts or sprinkles as they adhere better. They came out so pretty and tasted great, and were the highlight of my cookie tray. (The following is my old review). Thank you again!
I had to try these since I've missed the cookies I used to buy in New York bakeries, and these were definitely it! I did leave out the walnuts, but instead tried to recreate some of the versions I remembered. I made the recipe twice; the first I left plain and used chocolate stars as a shortcut on some, dotted some with chocolate chips, and dipped some in chocolate sprinkles. For the 2nd batch, I took about half the dough (maybe a tad less) and added about 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (and about 1 tsp of milk to make up for the dryness), and then swirled it together as I formed the log to make a marbled cookie (my remembered favorite version). I rolled the marble log in chocolate sprinkles, and boy were they good, and very impressive looking!
This recipe is a very good base for the start of NY style chinese cookies. I added 1/2 tsp of almond extract and then marbled the dough with taking 1/3 of dough and adding in 1/3 c. of cocoa. Take and press it into the vanilla dough I omitted the walnuts as they gave it different taste then what I remember chinese cookies to have. I also melted chocolate chips with a bit of heavy cream to make the chocolate dollap in the center YUM
It's true, they really do taste like the ones you'll buy in a grocery store!!
These got rave reviews at work. I had to add water to make the dough manageable. Otherwise it was crumbs.
Wow! These are amazing! I was pretty worried because they were awfully crumbly when I was try to roll into a log, but after sitting in the fridge it made them stick a bit more and they are just perfect. I will definitely make again. I also got 3-4 dozen out of these ingredients as listed.
I made these exactly as the recipe stated. They are identical tasting to the ones I buy at our local grocery store. They are great. The only slight problem for me was the dough was dry and crumbled a bit when trying to roll it.

To date 2000 has been something of a lost year for water projects in Mexico. Public and private sector plans have moved forward slowly or stalled completely. The election of PAN party candidate Vicente Fox has raised the prospect of change in the Mexican water sector. However, creating financing options for municipal infrastructure improvements remains a significant challenge.
At least 80 cities are upgrading their potable water distribution and sewerage systems. These include Zacatecas, Pachuca, Morelia, Tulancingo, Ixtapa, Guadalajara, Celaya, Irapuato, Leon and Queretaro. But BOT projects in the states of Guerrero and Veracruz, a desalination plant for Hermosillo in the state of Sonora, and the $1.1 billion Mexico Valley water management programme have stalled or...

CAMP Stratos Harness�75, added Sep/2011, see all C.A.M.P news & reviews
announcement by C.A.M.P
This announcement has been read 3,122 times
The Stratos raises the bar for high-performance climbing harnesses. Although the new generation of laminated harnesses look great, they don't necessarily feel great because their construction prevents air exchange on hot or muggy days. The Stratos features two layers of perforated foam that distribute the load evenly and allow moisture to escape, making the Stratos both incredibly comfortable and lightweight.
- Edge-Load Construction on the waist and legs
- Dual-Density Perforated EVA Foam for superior comfort
- Pre-Threaded Buckles on the waist and legs
- Patented No-Twist belay loop
- 4 webbing reinforced gear loops
- Chalk bag loop
- Weight: 350g (small)

Awesome Maid of Honor Gift
I have this to my maid of honor and she loved it. The quality was great, it looks youthful and contemporary yet still has the classic vibe which pearls provide. Awesome purchase!Read More
Sweet necklace - Perfect
I ordered this for myself as a 40th birthday present. Its a very sweet necklace and very chic. I've been wearing it with a collared shirt dress that is light blue and it looks great. It's bulky but not. More flashy than the traditional string of pearls, but still sublimely simple. Heavier than I thought but not unmanageable.Read More
Would have liked a better separation between the rows but gorgeous! Love it and can't wait to use it again!Read More
negative service - not sent in timely manner
Unknown quality as has not arrived. Very disappointed that has not even shipped as google said would ship on 8/20 and has not yet shipped as of 8/23. Quality may be fine but it not here, does not matter much. Rated quality average because website would not let me leave message without doing so and don't know quality. It may be nice per other rating.Read More

There are two-three different necklaces shown, one is with 5 strands of spherical pearls, strung on clear fishing line with glass/crystal beads (with the brown background). The second picture, with white background, seen from the front, appears to have 9 interwoven strands of flatter pearls with no crystal/glass beads. The third image, of the necklace from the side with white background appears to be spherical pearls again, with no glass beads. There are also two different clasps. I'm interested in the one with the spherical pearls and crystal/glass beads with the pearl dangle lobster claw clasp with 5 strands on clear fishing line. Usually called an Illusion necklace. I do NOT want the flattened, interwoven pearls, is there a way to specify one from the other?

Hang tight!
Recipe by Carol Castellucci Miller
"If you like those cinnamon waffles from the frozen food department of the grocery store, you'll love these! I developed this recipe because I don't care for syrup. Most waffles need the sweetness of syrup to make them special. These waffles are yummy just as they are; no syrup necessary! Whipped cream and fruit are a great addition if you want to go all out or just add butter and powder sugar to the top. These may brown quicker than standard waffles because of the sugar in them, so test the first one and adjust the time. I have also added 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed; you can't taste a difference. Enjoy!"

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1 3/4 cups
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
egg whites
cooking spray
I used "soured" milk in this recipe--that was the only change I made. One of the best waffle recipes I've ever used, cooking-wise, and one of the best waffle recipes we as a family ever have eaten. The submitter is right, you don't need syrup for this waffle. Butter was really all the embellishment it needed. NOTE: I did burn my first couple waffles and what I figured was that the sugar content in the waffles made them easier to scorch. Once I figured it out, I just was careful to watch them a little closer.
For some reason they would stick in the waffle maker...I did use less oil and less sugar. I do not know if this affected the mixture. All I can say is that they tasted great, but the fact that I had so much trouble with them sticking even if I used cooking spray, kind of turned me off.
65 Ratings
I added 2 mashed ripe bananas and some chopped pecans....used the whole eggs,,,butter flavored cooking spray.....husband said very delicious...I agree
By the way, when I make these waffles my family demands I make the Chocolate Cream Pudding by Mimi with the leftover egg yolks.
Great recipe. Increased cinnamon to 1 tbs instead of 2 1/2 tsp. Also, substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour for 1 cup of the all-purpose flour and added an extra 1/4 cup oil. With this substitution, you may need to reapply non-stick spray between batches.
I decided to try this recipe on a whim after it was emailed this morning. I must say that these waffles just melt in your mouth. They are soft & most importantly flavorful. I've tried other waffle recipes & NOTHING compares to this. Enjoy!!!
six picky kids and a lovely woman that cant stand waffles gave this more stars... cant go wrong sticking to the directions.
I liked the cinnamon flavoring, but the waffles turned out tougher and chewier than I like. The added sugar does make them burn easier, so watch for that.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2006 After finding the body of one missing climber on Mount Hood, Ore., members of the Oregon Army National Guard, Nevada Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve are continuing the search today for two other lost climbers.
Rescue crews, joined by civilian volunteers, planned to take advantage of clearing weather after several days of snow, ice and winds hampered earlier efforts, Capt. Christopher Bernard of the Air Force Reserve's 304th Rescue Squadron, based in Portland, told reporters today.
The 304th Rescue Squadron was the first aircrew on the scene, Dec. 11, after three climbers went missing after they set out Dec. 7 for what was to be a two-day climbing trip, Air Force Staff Sgt. Nick Przybyciel, of the 446th Airlift Wing at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., told American Forces Press Service.
Nine pararescue team members and three combat rescue officers conducted ground surveillance through Dec. 14 before pausing operations during inclement weather as they geared up to launch the air mission, Przybyciel said.
The squadron left one crewmember on the mountain to serve as a spotter for a Nevada Air National Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft. The aircraft is part of the only Air Force wing equipped with "scathe view" technology that provides real-time imagery of ground activity via electro-optical and infrared sensors mounted on military aircraft, Przybyciel explained.
Meanwhile, three Oregon Army National Guard helicopter crews joined the search Dec. 15. Twelve flight crews and medics aboard two UH-60 Black Hawks from the 1042nd Medical Company (Air Ambulance), based in Salem, and a CH-47D Chinook from Detachment 1, D Company, 113th Aviation Battalion, based in Pendleton, are involved in the search.
This morning, a CH-47D crew headed to the summit to retrieve a body found in a snow cave yesterday on Mount Hood's north face. Although officials declined to name the climber during today's news conference, family members said it was 48-year-old Kelly James.
Joe Wimpler, Mount Hood County sheriff, compared locating the snow cave to finding "a needle in a haystack" and praised the "excellent spot on the part of the air crews."
The search for James' companions, Brian Hall and Jerry Cooke, has narrowed to "The Gullies," an avalanche-prone area with a sheer 2,500-foot drop. It's still too dangerous to put ground crews in the area, Wimpler said, but search-and-rescue efforts are continuing from the air.
Bernard noted that the aircrews involved in the operation are combat veterans who have served in the mountains of Afghanistan. "There's a wide set of skills coming together to support this mission," he said.
Despite the lack of good news, officials expressed optimism that the missing two climbers may still be alive. "There definitely is hope," Bernard said.
Army Col. Dave Greenwood, Oregon's state aviation officer who has been flying Black Hawk missions during the search, said the military is uniquely qualified to carry out the mission. "When we see something like this, we realize that we're the only ones with our type of capabilities, so we are always ready to roll," he said.
The Oregon Guard typically conducts about 20 search-and-rescue missions a year, but few of this magnitude, he said.
Greenwood noted that since returning from Afghanistan in March, the Oregon Guard helicopter crews spent 43 days this summer fighting wildfires. "It just never stops," he said. "It's a lot of missions for these guys."

Meanwhile, the brave and stunning Tara has been thrust into the spotlight since the video of the vicious dog attack went viral earlier this month. Just last week, she threw the first pitch at a minor league baseball game (or so she tried) alongside the boy she saved, Jeremy Triantafilo.
"Tara has known Jeremy since before he was born," mom Erika Triantafilo told PEOPLE. "She used to go on walks with us when I was pregnant. And she used to check in on Jeremy when he was in his crib. They're great buddies."

Mariah Carey's 'Diva' Demands Detailed

Carey was in Britain to film a segment on 'X Factor' and also to do a sit-down interview with GMTV's Lorraine Kelly. During that time, Kelly's colleague Kate Garraway was in the network's studios and witnessed Carey and her "hilarious" entourage. "I've heard a lot of rumours about her being a diva over the years and guess what? It turns out it's all true!" Garraway tells New! Magazine (via Daily Mail).
"They outnumbered the entire GMTV crew," Garraway says of Carey's entourage. She goes on to say that the Grammy winner "had two people to lower her on to the GMTV sofa, in case her dress got crushed."
Aside from that, Garraway says Carey had "one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over and several people behind the camera making sure she was going to be filmed from the right angle!"
Puzzled by the events and what she allegedly witnessed, Garraway asks: "Have you ever heard anything like it? Oh, and she brought her own toilet roll as well."
Carey recently faced similar scorn during a commercial shoot in which she admits that even her two Jack Russell puppies had security.
"I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn't they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage - my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security," Carey said in an interview.

"An ethogram is a catalog of an animal's behavioral repertoire, detailing the different forms of behavior that are displayed by an animal. In most cases, it is desirable to create an ethogram in which the categories of behavior are objective, discrete, and do not overlap with each other. Definitions should be clear, detailed and distinguishable from each other.
Ethograms can be as specific or general as the study warrants. A research project dealing strictly with aggressive behavior in chimpanzees can be composed simply of the various forms of aggression displayed by that species. Alternatively, some studies seek to describe all facets of a particular animal's behavior, and the appropriate ethogram will comprehensively categorize any and all behaviors that may occur." from the AZAA, Behavioral Advisory Group

Badge - 'Wattle Day', Australia, circa 1914-1919 Reg. No: SH 000830
- Summary:
- Alternative Name(s): Button
'Wattle Day' badge, made circa 1914-1919.
The first 'national' Wattle Day was celebrated in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide on 1 September 1910. Wattle had become a symbol of Australia with the approach of Federation. It was particularly promoted by the Australian Natives' Association, established in 1871 and a strong advocate for native-born Australians and Federation. It later became an advocate for White Australia. Public support for Wattle Day peaked during World War I, when it was a potent symbol of home for military personnel serving overseas, and a means of raising money for organisations such as the Red Cross. Beautifully designed Wattle Day badges as well as wattle sprigs were sold. The influence of Wattle Day waned as the 20th century progressed, but in 1992 the Governor-General declared 1 September National Wattle Day.
- Description:
- Circular badge with pale green background with a dark blue boarder. Features map of Australia in cream, filled with green and yellow sprigs of wattle. Underneath the image of Australia is dark blue text.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mrs Bronwyn Mitchell, 1994

3-D technology is cool and all, but what really fascinates Gemma Arterton are pockets. The Clash Of The Titans star couldn't keep her hands out of hers at the film's London premiere earlier today—after a while it stops looking like a cool pose and more like your belly itches, Gemma. Also attending were co-stars Nicholas Hoult, Alexa Davalos and Sam Worthington, who probably isn't worried about being typecast as a 3-D action hero as long as these films continue to make kajillions.

"Targeting" is to make a thing or group a target, to select it or them to be acted upon. In a context of programming, it is the action of selecting an object or entity with one part of the code and do something specific to the 'target'.
In most programming languages we define targets with an 'id' and give it a unique identifier; setting variables that hold a target object, etc. This allows us to then reference it at ease, which allows us to create solutions much more easily.
For example,
In css we target elements with specific classes or id's and set rules for those to abide by.
.class #id { color: #FFF; }

A police officer passes through the main lobby at Nixon High School in Laredo, where they have multiple screens from security cameras all over campus. Thursday. Oct. 4, 2012.
LAREDO — Cheerleaders raised their pompoms while wearing full white homecoming gowns and mums. Alumni mingled and sang the alma mater as the Nixon High Mustangs burst onto the Shirley Field turf through an inflatable green-and-gold helmet.
It was Friday Night Lights as the hometown Mustangs faced Corpus Christi Ray on Oct. 5.
In this scene so Texan, few noticed the Border Patrol helicopters flying over the stadium, on their way to monitor the nearby Rio Grande.
The helicopters, though, are a reminder of the proximity to Mexico and the drug violence that has gripped Nuevo Laredo.
Shirley Field is a mile east of the river and a score of blocks north of the main border crossing into Mexico.
But all Nixon wide receiver Andrew Alba sees on this Friday night is the football.
"I really don't think about (the violence) that much. If it spills over, then it will be in my head," said Alba, whose father works at a train depot along the river.
The average Laredo student athlete isn't exposed to drug violence. There aren't the shootouts or beheadings that are common on the Mexican side of the border. On the weekend before Nixon's game, 15 people were killed in Nuevo Laredo.
Laredo, a city of 250,000, has had only 10 homicides this year.
The violence has had more indirect effects by severing generations-old family ties and piling onto stereotypes that Laredo students, particularly athletes, already face.
"Our kids know what's going on. It's tough out there," LBJ High School football coach Oscar Villaseñor said. "We're trying to teach them about life.
"And at the same time, maybe a little about football, too."
Crossing over
Many of the Nixon players have family on the Mexican side of the border. It's common for students at all seven Laredo high schools — Nixon, Martin and Cigarroa in LISD; United, United South, Alexander and LBJ in United ISD — to still visit Nuevo Laredo.
Cigarroa junior lineman Frank Chacon crosses into the city every week to visit family.
"I'm not afraid, but you get that feeling when you go over there that something's going to happen," Chacon said. "I just want to get a cab, do my thing, and get back to Laredo."
One of his teammates was making that commute daily from his parents' home in Nuevo Laredo to school. He wouldn't make it home until 10:30 p.m., following football practice and two bus rides.
His parents finally made him quit football, feeling it wasn't safe for him to travel alone that late, Cigarroa coach Jesse Esparza said.
"He was an example of the good work that we do here, a great kid. But I can't compete with that," Esparza said. "It's more than football games."
That persistent danger in Nuevo Laredo has been one of the main reasons Laredo school districts instituted security measures not found at any San Antonio-area campus.
The entrance to Nixon, which has 2,026 students, features a large plasma-screen TV that broadcasts nine separate security camera feeds for any visitor to see.
Nixon, like each Laredo high school, is fenced in and has a security guard to check visitors in and out. Security guards or campus police stand at the end of every hallway during the school day.
"We feel extremely safe," Nixon coach Tommy Ramirez said. "We don't worry about it."
The average Laredo athlete has enough to deal with without having to worry about what's going on across the Rio Grande.
That's particularly true in LISD. Districtwide, 97.2 percent of students are considered economically disadvantaged, according to the Texas Education Agency.
"The other 2 percent just didn't fill out the paperwork," LISD Superintendent Marcus Nelson said.
Many players work during the season to help their families.
"It's hard because you need to stay focused in school to keep up your grades and also keep up with practices, and also work to support your family," said Cigarroa senior Ricky Flores, who works at Whataburger.
'This is our home'
Even though the gunbattles have stayed in Mexico, some Laredo students carry the scars of the drug war.
Drug cartels forced one local athlete, who asked not to be identified to protect family, to leave a comfortable middle-class lifestyle in Mexico and come to Texas.
The athlete was born in the U.S., but grew up in southern Mexico with a life that revolved around family and athletics.
That all began to change over the past few years as drug violence swept into the athlete's city.
One day, while riding a city bus home from a practice, the athlete was robbed at knifepoint. Then the calls started.
The athlete's father and grandparents began receiving death threats, believed to be from cartel members. Soon, the father was being followed to work.
So he decided last summer to move to Texas, where he has found work and a place to live for his family.
The athlete enrolled at a Laredo high school speaking little English, and had to be held back a grade. A year later, the athlete speaks fluently, makes straight A's and stars in athletics.
The athlete made an instant connection with a coach at the school because of their shared heritage. And shared heartache.
The coach, who also asked not to be identified, was born in the U.S. but raised in Mexico. The coach also has been cut off from family because of the drug violence.
Cartels now control the Mexican town where the coach's family still lives.
The coach no longer will visit the town after being stopped by masked men with assault rifles along the road back to Texas last April. The coach has recorded audio of explosions and gunfire taking place just outside of the family bathroom.
The coach begs the family to leave Mexico for the safety of Texas.
"They say 'Nothing is going to change our mind. This is where we grew up,'" the coach said. "'This is our home.'"
The player can relate. Despite all that happened in Mexico, the player may go back after graduating.
The player has almost no contact with family members in Mexico for fear of the cartels finding them. No Skype. No Facebook. Only a phone call every month or so.
The desire to be with family again feels like it's worth risking death, the player said.
"It sounds very rude, but I do think sometimes I wouldn't mind dying over there in Mexico in the middle of a shooting if I know that I'm living happy with my family, with my friends, with the people I love," the player said.
The Laredo stereotype
Nixon defensive end Erick Fernandez spent all of that Friday night chasing Corpus Christi Ray quarterback Marcus Mosley in a game Ray eventually won 51-40.
He isn't concerned with Nuevo Laredo or drug violence.
He's focused on bucking the stereotype that Laredo kids can't play college football.
"We haven't had a (college player) in a while," Ramirez said. "Erick would break a long dry spell."
Laredo football is in a dry spell as a whole.
No Laredo team ever has made it past the third round of the playoffs — not even United or Alexander, which are considered the area powerhouses.
Ramirez was at a coaching clinic in San Angelo once, when a coach asked him where he was from.
"He said, 'Y'all play football in Laredo?'" Ramirez said. "That was really insulting to us. We take a lot of pride in what we do."
In February, Laredo was the biggest city in the country not to have a single football player sign an athletic scholarship at any level on National Signing Day, San Antonio Express-News research indicates.
San Antonio had 79 players sign, 24 at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
"A Laredo kid is a Laredo kid. I don't care what part of town you're from. We're 5-foot-7, we're not very fast, but we're going to play hard," said Esparza, who is from Laredo. "We have to work three times as hard to be able to compete."
The most famous Laredo football player may be a former drug boss. Edgar "La Barbie" Valdez Villarreal, a onetime high-ranking member of the Beltran Leyva Cartel who's now in a Mexican prison, played football at United. He even earned his nickname from his coach.
Fernandez would like to be considered one of the most famous football players from Laredo. The odds are naturally stacked against him. He's undersized for his position at 5-foot-10, 230 pounds. He plays in an area that big-time schools rarely recruit.
When he visits recruiting camps around the country, people often think he's from war-torn Mexico when he mentions Laredo.
"They think it's the same thing as Nuevo Laredo," Fernandez said. "It hurts to hear that."
His coach shakes his head as Fernandez speaks.
"It's not fair, but it's something we all have to deal with," Ramirez said. "It defines us. And it defines our character how we deal with things like this."

|TRAFICANT, James A., Jr.,
Washington, D.C. – U. S. Rep. James A. Traficant, Jr. (D–OH) announced today that the cities of Youngstown, Campbell, and Struthers have been selected for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot program. The cities have been awarded $200,000 for cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields. A brownfield is a site which has been environmentally contaminated, but has an active potential for redevelopment.
The EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot program
targets 900 acres of brownfields along the banks of the Mahoning River
bordering Youngstown, Campbell, and Struthers. There
are six target sites including a six-mile riparian corridor, a 29-acre
vacant industrial park, a 30-acre former steel mill site, a 34-acre industrial
park on the site of a former steel mill, 40 acres that were used for residential
and light commercial activities, and several proposed bridge and roadway
access routes. Nearly 80 percent of land can be redeveloped in the
area, which is known as the Mahoning River Corridor of Opportunity.
The site has also been designated an enterprise zone by the State of Ohio.
The pilot program will provide a total of $200,000 to perform environmental assessments on the six target areas, develop cleanup plans to eliminate environmental hazards, and conduct regular planning meetings with the community. In neighborhoods affected by brownfield redevelopment, community outreach and education activities are planned. A final goal of the pilot is to produce a geographic information system database on the target sites.
Over the past two years, Traficant has worked to secure $2 million for the U.S. Army Corps to begin clean-up of the Mahoning River. "This grant combined with the Corps' ongoing clean-up project will go a long way in revitalizing the river front areas throughout our Valley," said Traficant.

About ~ We Came Into This World Not To Find A Perfect Person To Love, But To Learn To Find An Imperfect Person Perfectly ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Random facts about me: I went to school for Journalism then one day woke up and decided on a whim to register for nursing school. I collect monkeys (stuffed animals of course), at one point I had over 66. I am trying to cut back, but its hard to quit an addiction. I am bisexual (no I will not have a threesome with you and your honey) When I was in Huatulco Mexico I did a somersault in the air off of an ATV (or so I'm told). I don't remember it though as it knocked myself out. Speaking of Mexico, I went to a Spanish school for 1.5 months in a little Mexican city called Cuernavaca. It was super cool... got to live with a Mexican family, learn the culture, along with the language. That was in 2007 and I have forgotten every Spanish word I learned. I would rather run into a shark than a mouse.... mice terrify me. I am vegetarian (apparently this matters big time to some people) I am a natural blonde yet I tend to change my hair color a lot (As you'll see from my pics) On my last trip to LA I bought a yamaha guitar, yet I don't know how to play the guitar. It is however on my bucket list of things to do. (Maybe you can teach me?) I can easily spend 8 hours straight at starbucks/chapters reading, writing & on my laptop. No problem! I once got in a fight with a Vancouver Canucks fan at a Flames game. Nothing physical, unless you count me throwing his beer in his face physical?!
