Midwest Living Review
From the buildings to the food, you'll be awash in good feng shui at Sundara, an adults-only retreat on a mission to bring wellness to their guests. You will be treated to an exceptional level of care, whether you simply want a retreat or are looking to reconnect with your partner. The inn's 26 suites are made peaceful with an earthy palette, natural light and features aimed at relaxation: fireplace, multihead shower, luxurious bathtubs, plush bedding. If you desire an even higher level of privacy, 12 villas (each with a kitchen) stand in buildings separate from the main inn. Guests can enjoy the freestanding bathhouse with steam rooms and infinity edge heated outdoor pool year-round. Foods feed the soul at Sundara; guests start the morning on the balcony with a breakfast buffet of fruits and granola, baked goods, hot savory foods and more. Throughout the rest of the day, you can order flavorful smoothies, wraps, salads, flatbreads and entrees such as steak and fresh fish prepared with seasonal, local ingredients as much as possible. You really can't go home before you try one of Sundara's legendary spa services (yes, guys, this means you, too). Men and women cherrypick from a menu of facials, wraps, full body massage, hand and foot and scalp massage, massages using gemstones and hot stones, manicures, pedicures and hair care provided by professionals. Watch for package deals. When not being pampered or lounging in a fluffy robe, guests enjoy yoga classes, the state-of-the-art fitness center, attractions in Wisconsin Dells, neighboring Wild Rock Golf Club and three nearby state parks. From $189.

Archive for the 'Joseph F Stein Cadillac-Studebaker' tag
Four-Links – photo (and video) archive dig edition
* We noticed several archival digs in our wanderings around the Internet this last week, so we thought we'd highlight them here. Starting with The New Cafe (Racer) Society's find of this picture of the Wyoming Cyclery and its Excelsior bikes over at the University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center. UW dates the photo from 1914 and notes the cyclery was located at 1711 Pioneer Avenue in Cheyenne. The buildings in the area certainly look of the age.
* Next up, and remaining out West for a moment, a photo from the Sherratt Library of Southern Utah University, via the Mountain West Digital Library, showing a Utah Parks Company open tour bus in the 1930s. We know it's a White, but we really can't add much more info to the picture.
* This is the perfect opportunity to grab a photo from Shorpy, which has plenty of automobile-related photos from their archive digs. This one, submitted by John Debold, shows the Joseph F. Stein Cadillac-Studebaker dealership in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Stein was apparently prominent enough to warrant an obit in the New York Times on his death in 1990. Helen-Chantal Pike's book on Asbury Park notes that the dealership was located on Main Street between Monroe and Sewall avenues.
* We mentioned video archives, and one of the best places for video archive digging is YouTube. Murilee Martin over at Jalopnik recently pulled together 14 AMC ads, including the Pacer ad above.
* Finally, Gary Grant over at theGarageBlog has been going through the fat packet of photos his father recently sent him and uncovered some treasures, such as this 1969 AMX his father raced, caught at Mosport, a shot of Mo Carter in his Camaro at Harewood Acres and a shot of the P&G Special.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After months of testing, scientists say it's phosphorus that's killing fish in Lake Auburn, but the root of the problem is still unclear.
Last summer, about 200 lake trout died on the lake, 150 more than the year before.
According to the most recent report, elevated phosphorus levels have been allowing algae to grow, decreasing oxygen levels in the water.
While the phosphorus levels have killed fish, it has not contaminated public drinking water.
"We're talking such low levels of concentration, we have not approached a level that would concern public health," said John Storer, Superintendent of the Auburn Water & Sewerage Districts.
Lake Auburn is the public drinking water source for more than 45,000 people in the region.
The study contains several theories to explain the increase in phosphorus, but draws no definitive conclusion.
It could be because of intense storms in 2011 and 2012, whcih disrupts the water and adds phosphorus.
It could also be because of a new form of algae to the lake, called gloetrichia. This type of algae interacts differently with the phosphorus already present in the lake, and could elevate levels.
Ultimately, scientists have not found a "smoking gun," Storer said.
He said the next step is to pursue the permitting process for algecides, which would kill algae if the problem comes back.
On site testing has also increased. Scientists in the lab on Lake Auburn used to test the algae once a month. Now, they're testing three times a week.
Storer said the district wants to address the problem before it grows.
If phosphorus levels continue to rise, they might have to invest in more water treatment, "which could double or triple the water rates that we currently have," Storer said.

|Rep. Tarleton Offers Clarification On Real Estate Flyers
|Written by Christie James
|Monday, 02 April 2007 03:00
State Rep. Cullie Tarleton visited our offices to respond to claims about new taxes made in flyers being distributed by the NC Association of Realtors. The flyers claim that the legislature is considering a new home transfer tax.According to State Representative Cullie Tarleton, those reports are in error. Tarleton stated that no transfer fee will be created without a local referendum vote. Tarleton went on to assure the people of Watauga County that there is no plan in Raleigh for any "home tax" on Watauga County. This tax has been proposed as one of several options to replace Medicaid tax income, if the state were to take over that function, and statewide school construction costs. The state has not decided to take over the Medicaid budget, however the issue is contentious. North Carolina is the only state in the nation where counties supply Medicaid. County governments collectively made this their high-priority item for this N.C. Legislative session.

Graeme Smith used to show his disappointment occasionally. Still, his countenance tells us loud and clear: Try, try but don't cry.
I am not sure if he and Ravi Shastri will cross swords in the commentary box if the Indian utters his predictable analysis for an unsuccessful bowler ("He is trying too hard!").
Smith seems to be a firm believer of trying hardest. Still, it remains a wonder how he managed to hit fours past mid-on which were intended to go past mid-off. Not many possess this art of sweet mistiming and keep polishing it for more than a decade! He challenged the notion that most left-handed batsmen are pretty to watch. But then, make no mistake, in between these lucky breaks, Smith used to come up with monstrous hitting. You give him an inch and he will take a yard.
Smith was not a truly gifted batsman by any stretch of imagination, but he was a gifted trier. And, as Graham Gooch would testify, children of lesser god need to acquire special skills of building an innings, accumulating runs. However, when the batsmen of lesser ability score runs, they provide more heartburn to the opposition than a gifted Lara would. The opposition can clap exhibition of batsmanship from Lara; but the likes of Smith can make it suffocating for those who are at the receiving end. The playing conditions allow bowlers to have a drink at the boundaryline but not the privilege of oxygen balloon or recovery tent after facing a clinical assault.
Smith didn't succeed in changing one major script that bugged SA: out-and-out CHOKERS in limited-overs cricket, but he experienced some incredible highs in Test cricket: top team ranking, two successive Test series wins Down Under in addition to away series wins in England, NZ, Pakistan and West Indies. Test series wins in India and Sri Lanka remained elusive to him.
Tatenda Taibu, MAK Pataudi, Javed Miandad and Mohd Ashraful were all young Test leaders before they turned 23. The selectors showed faith in all of them. But no one gave better dividends than Smith. He proved out to be a Blue Chip investment. Like most of the prolific and consistent batsmen, he didn't brood over the previous ball. He was constantly getting ready for the next challenge.
Smith's career gave ample lessons about market mechanism.
Leaders are not the best performers in business, but those having more itch to lead; better inclination to do the dirty work and enjoy the filthy-looking privileges. Even if you are not the best in business (like Smith), you must gather a voice to convey faults to players of higher pedigree (say Amla).
Some incidents in the initial part of Smith's leadership convey his courage of conviction and forthright approach in dealing with seniors and more established players.
Of course, some small over-the-top reactions or slip in tongue could have invited a revolt. But then, some leaders are more bothered about processes rather than consequences. It's travesty of sorts that despite possessing this philosophy, the likes of Smith constantly strive for better tangible results.
Smith may not win a popularity vote among cricket fans and his peers; but he has proved out to be the darling of his coaches and his administrators.
Seeing his constant rise must have been a proud phase for SA fans. Now, he eyes Surreyal experience after retiring from international cricket.

Shade Brigade reminds senior citizens to stay cool in summer heat
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Duane is 92. Blanche is 93.
And as another summer scorcher heats up, the couple are in great shape.
Meaghan Thompson aims to keep it that way.
Thompson, the community relations director for Emeritus in Springfield, knows heat can be deadly - and that the citizens most at risk are seniors.
Thompson told KVAL News Thursday, "They wait until it's too late to react to their dehydration. So honestly, they sit there and say, you know, I'm not that thirsty and I'm OK."
People 65 and over are more at risk for heat illness - and elders are what the Emeritus Senior Living community in Springfield specializes in.
Even out in the community.
For the 7th year, the company's Shade Brigade has set out to visit seniors in their homes to make sure they are keeping cool.
Emeritus relies on referrals from churches, doctors and neighbors to identify the 30 or so seniors they visit each month.
Thompson doesn't show up empty handed - she brings water, popsicles, fruit and juice to the seniors she visits, a way to remind them to stay hydrated during the hot, dry summer months.
Thompson says it's gratifying to help so many seniors stay independent, adding, "It's a great opportunity to give back to them.
Make sure that they're safe, taken care of, and that they know people care about them."

Does your smartphone's battery run out of charge way more frequently than manufacturers claim? The big touch screens, fast processors and complex apps that are packed onto our mobile devices suck up a lot of power. Most of us know that it's too much to ask that a battery lasts a week on one charge, but there's no excuse for not being able to make it through a day.
The idea of carrying an extra battery or charger around, positioning a charger, dock or car charger at each stopping point, or keeping track of every available outlet isn't very appealing to most. But when you have a phone that is your lifeline to calls, texts, apps, internet and Wifi, you do what you have to do.
Imagine even having 20% charge left at the end of each crazy, busy day. If you haven't included battery life as a high priority for choosing your next phone, tablet or notebook, maybe it's time you did.
PC Magazine recently did some testing of their own, and published their study of the 10 top phones. It's a short list of Android phones that delivered at least eight hours of talk time. The magazine's in-house experts know that talk time doesn't account for all the other ways we use our phones throughout the day, but it's still a good indication of how long you can expect your battery to last.
For most smartphones running on a 3G network, the average talk time is a little over six hours. Even if you're out of the house for 12 hours, that should be more than enough juice to get you through the day without a charge. If your device's battery doesn't give you that kind of energy, maybe it's time for a new one.

After much deliberation, the FASB and IASB are set to release a final global revenue recognition standard in the coming months that will do away with current industry-specific accounting and instead apply a single set of principles to all revenue transactions. Changes to practices, processes and systems could ripple through your business. 10Minutes on revenue recognition provides information about the standard as well as insight into ways in which some companies are preparing for the broader impact.
Your revenue is the most significant financial metric, driving nearly all other results, like net income, EBITDA, and earnings per share. Under the new standard, companies in all industries, under both US GAAP and IFRS, will use a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The intent is greater consistency and comparability throughout the global capital markets and across industries.
While the 2017 effective date may seem far off, proper preparation is essential. Revenue recognition is a critical, and often complex, accounting area. Companies can't afford to get it wrong. Boards and investors want to know what to expect, so get started now.

HOWELL, Mich. (Livingston Daily) -- Family members said a Howell Township woman was one of two Michigan residents who died as a result of being treated with steroids, now recalled, that are potentially linked to a multistate outbreak of fungal meningitis.
Lilian Cary, 67, who died Sept. 30, had been treated with steroid shots for chronic back pain at Michigan Pain Specialists of Genoa Township, according to her husband, George Cary. The clinic is one of four Michigan facilities confirmed to have received shipment of the recalled steroids.
"She had been ill since the last week of August," her husband said.
The Michigan Department of Community Health reported Tuesday thatthree women -- ages 78, 67 and 56 --had died as a result of fungal meningitis believed linked to the tainted steroids but did not report their names or communities of residence.
State health officials also confirmed 25 instances of fungal meningitis.
Lilian Cary initially sought treatment Sept. 7 at Saint Joseph Mercy Hospital in Washtenaw County's Superior Township and was released two days later.
She was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor on Sept. 21 and was initially being treated with antibiotics for a lung infection, her husband said.
"She was doing well. She was recovering and talkative through the night of the 24th," George Cary said.
Lilian Cary then suffered a stroke overnight, her husband said. After being told by doctors that her chances for survival were not greater than 15 percent, George Cary said, he and her daughter decided to remove his wife from life support, and she died at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 30.
George Cary said he, too, had been treated for back pain at the Genoa Township facility and had been advised that he might have been treated with the recalled steroids.
The Carys were married for 35 years.
A naturalized American citizen, Lilian Cary came to the United States from her native Stoke-on-Trent, England, at 18 to serve as a nanny for a wealthy New York family, her husband said.
"She stayed here (in the United States) as a result of a bet with her family that she'd return home," he said.
She held several positions, including office manager of a Westchester County, N.Y., radio station before she retired and moved with her husband to Michigan in 2000.
"She was the kind of person that if you knew, you liked," her husband said. "She was very kind."
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Heather and George Andrus of Howell Township; and grandchildren Johnathan, 8, and Emma, 10 months.
"They lived just a few doors down; she saw her grandchildren every day," George Cary said.
Survivors also include a stepdaughter, Jill Blosus of Mount Pleasant, S.C.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. today at MacDonald's Funeral Home, 315 N. Michigan Ave. in Howell.
Michigan Pain Specialists was one of four medical facilities statewide confirmed to date to have received shipments of the recalled steroids from the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass.
Officials at the Michigan Department of Community Health advise those who recently received steroid injections to immediately seek medical attention should they experience a fever, headache, nausea or strokelike symptoms.
Health officials say the symptoms could be signs of fungal meningitis.
Symptoms generally appear one to four weeks after injection, though officials said anyone treated after July 1 could be at risk.
Livingston County Department of Public Health officials said Michigan Pain Specialists told them the office was contacting patients who might have been treated with the potentially contaminated steroids.
"We got in touch with them Friday," county health Director Ted Westmeier said. "That's an important piece the public needs to know. We had been receiving a lot of calls about this."
Westmeier said he did not know how many patients might have been contacted.
Calls to Michigan Pain Specialists were not returned Monday.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday said 105 people nationwide had developed fungal meningitis since the outbreak was first reported and that eight had died from the disease.
The disease isn't transmitted by person-to-person contact, health officials said.
Other state facilities that received shipments are Michigan Neurosurgical Institutes of Grand Blanc, Southeast Michigan Surgical Hospital of Warren and Neuromusuclar and Rehabilitation of Traverse City.

Size Large is way too short These size Large socks were far too short for my feet, which take size 10.5 extra-narrow shoes. The socks do not look any longer than any women's socks you might find in a store in the generic size. In other words, they are long enough for maybe a women's size 6 shoe size. They were also too short in the leg and too tight on top, too, and I have thinnish calves. I have given up on women's knee socks and will only buy men's over-the-calf socks. January 25, 2013
Perfect Knee Socks Year Round The socks truly stay up as advertised and are the perfect weight - not too thin or thick. The fit is perfect - no pinching and I will order more as they are my favorites. I can only wear wool blends when it is extremely cold so I'm always reaching for these. Tried many brands and these are the best! November 11, 2012

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Doug Massman lives life to the fullest and he couldn't fathom the thought of going through life any other way.
Despite being blind in his right eye since birth, Massman, 79, hasn't let that slow him down one bit. A youth filled with plenty of fond memories, a career in the Army, serving as a principal at Helper Junior High for 10 years and doing the odd-jobs here and there, Massman has plenty of life experiences under his belt.
"I never looked at being blind in one eye as a disability," said Massman. "I never cared or had any problem with it. It's like having one arm. You can't change it so you just get used to living with it."
But when he started experiencing vision problems with his left eye in 2007, Massman's zest for everything life had to offer began to wane. He visited eye doctors over the next two years before finally being told he was diagnosed with macular degeneration. Massman said he didn't really know what to expect after receiving the news since the eye condition was not something he was very familiar with.
"I didn't even know what that (macular degeneration) was," he said, "and I still don't to be honest."
According to the Mayo Clinic, macular degeneration is chronic eye disease that causes vision loss in the center of your field of vision. There are two types of macular degeneration, including wet and dry, that can affect people. Dry macular degeneration is noted with the deterioration of the macula, located in the center of the retina and is the layer of tissue on the inside back wall of the eye. Wet macular degeneration is a condition when blood vessels that grow under the retina in the back of the eye leaking blood and fluid.
Massman said doctors told him and his wife, Darlene, that things would start to get worse over time and there wasn't much that could be done to help. For Darlene, her thoughts began to drift toward what life for them as a couple would be like with Doug being completely blind.
"I immediately thought we'd need to get a service dog for him, learn braille and have to change a lot of other things in our lives," she said.
As his vision began to worsen, Massman noticed that daily activities including working, talking to people, watching television and reading scriptures were becoming more and more difficult.
"I kept thinking, if I couldn't work then I wouldn't want to be alive any more," he remembers.
While watching television one night about a year ago, Massman's daughter, Amanda, noticed a news report about a doctor who helped a woman with macular degeneration see again with a special pair of glasses. Intrigued by the report, Darlene and Doug contacted Dr. Jared Cooper, a low vision specialist who has spent much of his time helping improve the quality of life for people suffering with vision problems.
Cooper helped give Massman a pair of unique glasses with mini telescopes on each lens that helps magnify a larger area of the person's field of vision.
"It literally brings the image of what they are looking at closer to the peripheral eye that is more healthy," said Cooper.
While it can take some time to get adjusted to the unique glasses, Cooper said patients typically adjust quickly with the right prescription.
After putting on the glasses for the first time, Massman looked out the window of Cooper's office and began noticing all of the small things out in the world around him.
"The minute I put them on, I could see everything," he remembered.
"He was really giddy about it," Darlene said of Doug's reaction. "He was like a child again and it was so exciting for me to see him so happy after all of this."
For three weeks after getting the new glasses, Massman was eager to read children's books provided to him to help retrain his brain and let his eyes adjust to the glasses. He quickly went through every one of them and moved on to something he waited so long to do, reading scriptures. He remembers walking into the Westwood Ward on a Sunday morning shortly after getting the glasses and seeing everything, from the people to the architecture of the building, clearly for the first time in years.
"Dr. Cooper helped give me back what I couldn't do in life," Massman said.
He continues to keep busy on a daily basis doing household chores, plowing snow in the winter months, fixing things here and there as well as helping out AJB Properties. A key chain with dozens of keys sits on his belt and Massman knows exactly what each one is used for without having to bring a key up to his left eye to give it a long check over. It is one of many daily reminders of just how much life has changed for him.
"I have seen a 100 percent difference in his desire and ability to live life," said Darlene. "The new glasses helped take away his fear of living life as a blind person and not being able to function."
Massman plans on continuing to live life working hard, spending time with family and enjoying what life has to offer.
"I'm as healthy as a horse," he says with a smile. "I feel human again now that I can see."

Lower Level
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
The recent election of Pope Francis featured a series of remarkable firsts: first resignation of a pope in several centuries, first Jesuit elected pope, first pope from the Americas, first pope with the regnal name Francis. What do these firsts mean for the papacy and for the Catholic Church as a whole? Jonathan Seitz, Ph.D., director of undergraduate studies, associate teaching professor of History, and a scholar of religious history, will discuss the stories of the handful of earlier papal resignations and the story of St. Francis of Assisi, from whom Pope Francis took his name, to give insight into what might lie ahead. Douglas Porpora, Ph.D., professor of sociology, will discuss the new pope in relation to current struggles within the church. International Cafe is a monthly forum sponsored by International Area Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences that provides globally themed discussions that are open to the entire Drexel community. For more information, please contact Jacqueline Rios at firstname.lastname@example.com will be provided.

Guess what?! The original recipe for Candy Sticks with the melt-in-your mouth texture is BACK!
The same Candy Sticks you ate as kid while channeling John Wayne, Danny Zuko, or Ponyboy, are now at your fingertips.
So, why did the recipe change in the first place? Well, back in 2011, Brooklyn-based World Confections, the manufacturers of Candy Sticks, reconfigured the formula to use all-natural, pure cane sugar.
America revolted.
Company vice president, Drew Cohen, and his brother and business director, Scott Cohen, say they received numerous heated letters, e-mails, and calls begging for the return of the original recipe that made this confection a cult classic.
"It was nuts," says Drew. "We were getting e-mails every day from Southern California to Northern Maine. We were literally hearing from consumers across the country."
The brothers took all the feedback to heart, and went back to the original Candy Stick recipe that their grandfather and great uncle created back in 1952.
On April 1, 2013, the Original Recipe Candy Sticks were reborn and restocked on store shelves.
So, what's been the reaction so far?
One customer actually held a "tasting party" at his house to celebrate the return of "Confection Perfection." The party feedback ranged from "These are amazing" and "Oh my God, Yum" to "They taste just like I remember" and "I feel like I'm 10 again."
Other customers thanked World Confections profusely for listening and bringing back the good stuff.
We thank World Confections for caring about its customers and giving them a taste of the past. After all, candy is one of the greatest memories from childhood.
And, we also love happy endings.

Patty DeWarns of Helper and son, Blake, look at an original copy of the Declaration of Independence displayed at the Utah Capitol.
'This is fantastic,' commented DeWarns last Friday. Preschooler Blake's interest waned and he ended up sitting on the floor near where the Pinnacle Canyon singers were scheduled to perform.
The display and multi-media show will remain on exhibit in the rotunda until March 15. The presentation will then move to Georgia and be displayed at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, starting April 27.
The three and one-half year road tour was launched July 3, 2001 at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. One of the first visits was slated at the 2002 Winter Olympics. The idea was to not only expose as many Americans as possible to the document, but also the international crowd that the Olympics attracts.
Last Friday, the international crowd was evident as Japanese, Slavic and southern European languages mixed with English where the display is set up. A number of instructional kiosks are located around the rotunda.

Midwest Living Review
This well-maintained, updated hotel takes advantage of its prime downtown location with rooms that are fine but seem a little pricey for Fort Wayne (our midweek spring stay was $119 a night), though rooms start from $99 a night. The front desk staff was great, the size of our guest room was fine, the linens were comfortable and updated, and the rooms have big flat-screen TVs (though few channels beyond the 4 flavors of ESPN and the basic CBS, NBC, ABC). The bathroom had all-white subway tile and big fluffy white towels; the walls are a pleasant butter-yellow color. The room also had a large working desk, comfortable desk chair and free wi-fi. Patrons can take advantage of the newly updated fitness center and swimming pool, and the USA Today is delivered free to your door. In the morning, skip Hilton's overpriced $18 breakfast buffet and order off the menu.

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake or muffin cases. Mix the flour, sugar, lemon zest and poppy seeds together in a large mixing bowl. Beat the eggs into the yogurt, then tip this into the dry ingredients with the melted butter. Mix together with a wooden spoon or whisk until lump-free, then divide between the cases. Bake for 20-22 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean – the cakes will be quite pale on top still. Cool for 5 mins in the tin, then carefully lift onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- To ice, beat the softened butter until really soft in a large bowl, then gradually beat in the icing sugar and lemon juice. Stir in enough food colouring for a pale lemon colour, then spoon the icing into a piping bag with a large star nozzle.
- Ice one cake at a time, holding the piping bag almost upright with the nozzle about 1cm from the surface of the cake. Pipe one spiral of icing around the edge, then pause to break the flow before moving the nozzle towards the centre slightly and piping a second, smaller spiral that continues until there are no gaps in the centre. Slightly 'dot' the nozzle into the icing as you stop squeezing to finish neatly. Repeat to cover all the cakes, then top with sugar decorations or scatter with sprinkles.

Comments, questions and tips
These cakes went down a treat! Lovely and lemony and just to add a gooey surprise in the middle I half filled the muffin cases, added a dollop of lemon curd and then covered it over with the rest of the mixture. I have made them with both butter cream and glace icing but If you like a real tang, use glace icing made with icing sugar and lemon juice and a bit of zest sprinkled on the top. One problem ........ eat one and you want another!
Delicious cupcakes! I've made them as the recipe said, with icing, and I've also made lemon and white chocolate cupcakes, simply by substituting the poppy seeds for a pack of white chocolate chips, which went down very well (even without icing). This is a cupcake recipe I really like, because they always come out light and fluffy and having the natural yoghurt in the recipe seems to make a real difference.
Really nice cupcakes and a change from chocolate. I'm not one to wonder away from recipes after reading the reviews I made half the icing - I used less butter as I am not keen on the buttery taste and more icing sugar and an extra 1/2 lemon juice. I also added 1/2 lemon juice to the cupcake mix. There are light, yummy summery.
Lovely! I've made these several times now and they go down a treat with everyone. Have found if I add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture it makes them nice and zingy. The first time I did them everyone said the frosting was sickly so now I do them without (yummy) or with a small amount of lemon icing.
Has anyone frozen these, and if so what were they like when defrosted?

Softball Drops 5-2 Contest at No. 20 Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. – The Creighton softball team fell 5-2 to No. 20 Nebraska at the Cornhuskers' Bowlin Stadium Wednesday evening.
Creighton (19-14) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead but could not hold on, spreading five hits across the game. Sophomore Kelsey Allender connected on two hits and picked up an RBI as did classmate Blake Ringle. No. 20 Nebraska (24-11) tied the game early then held on for the home win.
CU senior Becca Changstrom earned the start in the contest.
Creighton opened the scoring in the top of the first with a pair of walks from seniors Ellen Homan and Blair Lowe with no outs. Sophomore Erin McGonigal came on to run for Homan. Classmate Alexis Cantu later loaded the bases after being hit by a pitch with one down.
Next up, sophomore Blake Ringle ripped an RBI single up the middle to score McGonigal, but Lowe was thrown out at home to give the Jays a 1-0 lead before a pop-out ended the CU threat.
Changstrom and the Bluejay defense held the potent Cornhusker offense in check over the first two innings retiring six straight with four strikeouts.
The bats awoke for Huskers in the bottom of the third frame. A pair of leadoff singles and a sacrifice bunt put runners in scoring position for NU with one down. An intentional walk to NU's Taylor Edwards loaded the bases. After a short fly out to left, NU posted an RBI single to score a run before another was thrown out at the plate to knot the game at 1-1 after three.
After a scoreless fourth inning, Nebraska took the lead in the bottom of the fifth. A CU error, sacrifice hit and three straight walks pushed across one Husker run with two down to give Nebraska a 2-1 edge. A bases loaded RBI single then scored another for a 3-1 Cornhusker score. Both runs were unearned. A foul fly out got the Jays and Changstrom out of a bases loaded jam heading to the sixth inning.
Creighton closed back to within one run in the top of the next frame. Cantu drew a walk and was replaced at first by sophomore Katie Pascuzzi to open the sixth. Later freshman Jen Daro drew a two-out walk followed by a classmate Jessica Lewis being hit by a pitch to load the bases. After a long battle at the plate, sophomore Kelsey Allender connected on an RBI single through the left side to score Pascuzzi to cut the NU lead to 3-2.
However, NU responded in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of runs. A hit batter, walk and sacrifice hit helped lead the Huskers to score twice and go up 5-2 heading into the final frame.
Changstrom dropped to 11-8 on the year with the loss. She gave up just three earned runs and struck out six batters.
The Bluejays return to BIG EAST Conference play this weekend with a three-game home series against Villanova beginning with a doubleheader slated for 12:00 p.m. CT Saturday at the CU Sports Complex.

So let me start off by saying am a 30 year old male. I have had pustules, palupes, whiteheads, blackheads, but mainly cysts and sometimes occasionally nodules, just about them all, I was seriously a mess, but rarely no body acne. I'd have them on my forehead, and mainly around my mouth, the infamous "T area".
I thought it was abrasion, folliculitis (because I rarely got them on my forehead when my hair was short/buzzed, but when it grew out I'd get cysts right where the hair would be hitting my forehead), diet, coffee, sugar, dairy (big coffee drinker), chips, you name it I tried to not eat it. When it comes to creams and over the counter stuff I've also tried it, accutane, etc. Home remedies and vitamins, again, tried it all, biotin, niacin, garlic, ACV, fish oil, carrot juice, etc. Even loads of water.
Maybe from trying so many things over the years, I might have gotten rid of something, maybe a bacteria or fungal that was on my face, I dunno, because I tried using ACV/tea tree as a toner, tried the ACNE.org regimen stuff too (couldn't stand the burning so I stop it really quick). Because I know from old pics (my memory must have suppressed it because I didn't remember it being that bad) when I was in junior high and high school my forehead was just covered with red dots, but rarely around my mouth. Then when I went to college, I just had an occasional cyst/whitehead only around my chin, and nose because like I mentioned above, my hair was buzzed so it was off my forehead, but it was about that time that I was actually trying to figure this out and dating more, so I was washing like I was suppose to (2x a day, morning and night, and a facial moisturizer right after, msg me if you want to know what I use, I have sensitive skin so I do use a certain lotion/soap) So maybe it was just hygiene that stopped the smaller red dots (pustules, palupes, whiteheads, blackheads.) that would cover my forehead.
So, I definitely was experiencing two different styles of acne through out the years. As I entered adulthood, I was mainly getting cysts, like a new one right after the old one was healing, you know the ones that would take like a week to grow into an eraser sized bump, be all red (because I also had the hyper pigmentation) come to a head, then take another week to heal, and surprise a new one somewhere else. This is when I started to visit this site and I was trying everything, I did get some results, so I thought I must be on the right track. I had months where I was not getting any then break out right when something great was about to happen (always the case right?) Seriously, whole months of no break outs. I was telling everyone I thought it was this and that, but then get embarrassed when I'd all of a sudden I'd break out and hide in my room. This was all happening the last 5 years.
Well here is the good news, its been probably over a year since my last cyst. Sometimes I would feel a new bump, you know? Get all scared and then the next day or the following day, GONE. They would disappear on there own. I was even suppose to be on TV last month, I felt like I was getting two right on my cheek, second day, they felt bigger, I was really stressing cuz I was already on TV but it was still taping and I was like, "why me! why now!", then the third day, GONE (during those days I stuck to my guns and tried to eat anything with real fruit in it, and lucky someone brought drinks for the cast and one of the drinks was coconut water. I drank those like crazy during those two days). Every once in a while I'd get a little red spot and look closer and its only a little white head that I could just squeeze out and seriously later that day no more red spot, gone completely (thought that s not even possible, same day results?!). So I am confident I found the cure, the answer and it was something so easy.
So what works for me and I hope its universal, (for cysts at least,) I can even eat whatever I want, chips (of course now my doc says I have high cholesterol haha), coffee, dairy, etc with no fear, but I still think some foods do trigger (definitely chocolate and seaweed EDIT: I eat seaweed and chocolate and don't break out now) but because my skin is healthier, it is able to combat the situations, that's why they go away, (which they never use to do, they would always turn to a whitehead.) but I do tho still have the blackheads on my nose but whatever, can't even see them unless your inches from from my face. FYI I really tried to tell an acquaintance and test out my theory before posting on here, didn't want to just go off, then look like a fool when it doesn't work for anyone else, (even told my doc, she looked at me like she new already.) Unfortunately never heard back from guy.
So what is my cure? my savior? Its eating fruit which I use to never do and I KNOW people are guilty of, unfortunately it does get expensive but that's what it is for me. What I do is I make a smoothie, in the morning, every other day or every two days or daily, whatever. I blend up at least two different fruits, maybe three (i.e. banana, grapes, apples, plums, sometimes oranges), some ice, yogurt, sometimes peanut butter (watch out if you are allergic to any of these), then add a liquid whether it be coffee, green tea, carrot juice, grape juice. And recently started to add wheatgrass (which is really expensive but you don't have to). I stopped all the vitamins and remedies, I just do that and wash my face and moisturizer. THAT'S ALL! (EDIT: its possible there was a bacteria or fungus on my skin that I might have killed when I was using tea tree toner)
Finally, I want to hear people comments, please msg me or post. I want to know if this works for others (give it a few weeks to 1 month). I was a mess with little to no hope, and now and I am 99% clear and I finally can go out and enjoy my life without fear. (p.s. I am single, so all the single ladies, if I have shown you the light and I am your savior, don't be afraid to propose, haha, I could use a little boost in self-esteem )

Guide To Fishing Gibbs Lures
A true "classic" among swimming plugs, the Danny derives its swimming action from a fulcrum point "amid ships" compared to the nose action of the smaller minnow type plugs. This unigue action simulates larger baitfish, which should be kept in mind when retrieving so that the plug is not overfished. Let the current do most of the work, and vary your retrieve as you move the bait through different types of water. An occasional jerk of the rod tip that causes the plug to spurt or splash lightly can be very effective. At night, however, a steadier retrieve is more desirable. Fine-tuning should be restricted to the stainless wire eye of the plug, leaving the pan lip in its original shape. Bend the eye up slightly to obtain a deeper retrieve, and down for more surface action. Unlike our direct tie recommendation with other plugs, the Danny will work better from a black "Duo Lock" snap for a freer swimming action. A swivel is not needed. Remember, keep those hooks sharp and re-tie frequently to keep fresh line at the business end of your efforts.

The funding and awareness that is raised by Community Athletes is an integral part of the support system that the Semper Fi Fund needs to accomplish its mission.
Community Athletes compete in marathons, triathlons, softball games, baseball games, football games, motorsports, golfing, biking, climbing, or even simply conduct a letter writing or fundraising campaign. They pledge to raise funds and awareness for the Semper Fi Fund throughout their generous efforts, and they usually have fun in the process!
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or participating in your first event, your efforts can make a difference in the quality of life for our nation's injured service members.
Come Run for the Fund!

After the Chautauquas
When the Chautauquas faded away, Weldon Springs
continued to host the people of DeWitt County. Lincoln Weldon permitted its
use for the DeWitt County 4-H Fair, Boy Scout Camp Hatetokwitit and Easter Sunrise
Services. Annual picnics and family reunions continued on the grounds, as did
fishing and swimming. Upon his death, Lincoln Weldon bequeathed the original
forty acres and an additional ten acres to the City of Clinton. Weldon Springs
became a city park in 1936.
Weldon Springs was purchased by the State of
Illinois in 1948 for $20,000. At the close of its 1st century, Weldon
Springs now comprises 442 acres including a 29-acre lake with two miles of
shoreline. 10,000 people camp at "The Springs" annually, while more
than 400,000 enjoy the grounds for fishing, picnicking, hiking and relaxing.
