Red Hot Chili Peppers Destroy The Rose Garden (Portland, OR)
Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked Portland's Rose Garden this past Wednesday. The band is currently on tour supporting their new album I'm With You. RHCP (as what most fans call them) didn't disappoint either, playing new songs off of their current album; as well as classic hits that everyone has grown to love. Frontman Anthony Keidis was full of energy on stage, while bassist Flea kept the crowd going with his funky beats. To see this band live is something that needs to be seen by any music lover. The band also had a stop the following day at Seattle's Key Arena, and will be playing Vancouver, B.C. The night after.For me; this was the ultimate bucket list band and to be able to cross them off made the 3 hour trip to Portland well worth it. Here's a gallery of few highlights of the Rose Garden show!

Everybody seems crazy for kale right now. Some experts even argue that it's the superfood of superfoods. One cup has only 33 calories, but contains over 100 percent of your daily value of vitamin C, 200 percent of vitamin A, 10 percent each of folate and calcium, and even a couple grams of protein. But the vegetable in its raw form can be a bit rough (it's known as a go-to digestive aid for a reason). How can you make it tastier?
Craving some crunch? Put down the Pringles and reach for some kale. Or at least some kale chips. This leafy green superfood is having something of a moment right now, and it's a health food fad every dancer should follow. Why? Kale's vitamin A feeds bone formation, its B vitamins boost your metabolism and its vitamin C helps your body fight inflammation. That's not to mention the loads of fiber that keep your stomach from gumbling in the middle of rehearsal.

As U.S. Trade Deficit with China Widens by 15.6 Percent in May, Sen. Brown Renews Call to Pass Bipartisan Bill to Combat Chinese Currency Manipulation
U.S. Trade Deficit in May Increased to Highest Level in More Than 2.5 Years; Trade Deficit with China Expanded 15.6 Percent to Nearly $25 Billion in May. Separate Report Released Last Month Shows That Addressing Undervalued Chinese Currency Could Create 2.25 Million Jobs and Increase U.S. GDP by $285.7 Billion
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the wake of new trade deficit figures released today showing that the U.S. trade deficit increased to its highest level in more than two and a half years – with the U.S. trade deficit with China widening 15.6 percent to $24.96 billion in May – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) renewed his call for swift passage of the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act of 2011. This bipartisan legislation would give the Obama Administration additional tools to address China's currency manipulation.
"While we debate the budget deficit, too many Washington politicians are ignoring the trade deficit – and its dangerous effects on American jobs," Brown said. "The best way to get our fiscal house in order is to get Americans working again – and that means cracking down on practices like Chinese currency manipulation, which hurts Ohio manufacturing and American job creation efforts. By combating currency manipulation, we can help level the playing field for American manufacturers and speed up our economic recovery."
The new trade deficit figures released today follow a new report released last month showing that addressing Chinese currency manipulation could support the creation of 2.25 million American jobs.
A report released in June by the Economic Policy Institute examined the effects on the American economy if China was to revalue the yuan to its equilibrium level, and other Asian countries followed suit. The report found significant benefits for the American economy:
- U.S. GDP would increase by as much as $285.7 billion (1.9 percent);
- As many as 2.25 million American jobs would be created – enough to increase total U.S. employment by 1.6 percent; and
- The U.S. budget deficit would decrease by up to $71.4 billion per year – or between $621 to $857 billion over ten years, if sustained.
Along with Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Brown is fighting to pass the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act of 2011. The bipartisan bill mirrors a similar measure passed in 111th Congress, H.R. 2378, the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act of 2010. This bill passed in 2010 by a vote of 348-79, including 99 Republicans. The legislation, which directs the U.S. Department of Commerce to treat currency undervaluation as a prohibited export subsidy, would ensure the government is equipped to respond on behalf of American workers and manufacturers by imposing countervailing duties on subsidized exports from countries like China.
The impact of China's currency manipulation has been widely documented by economists:
- Paul Krugman, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, estimates that China's exchange rate policy reduces U.S. GDP by 1.4 to 1.5 percentage points annually and reduces U.S. employment by 1.4 or 1.5 million jobs.[1]
- Fred Bergsten, Director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, estimates that a 20-40% appreciation of the RMB would result in $100-$150 billion improvement in the U.S. trade deficit and would generate 700,000 to 1 million jobs in the United States.[2]
- Steven Dunaway, a former IMF official and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, has noted that some analysts expect an appreciation would add half a percentage point to GDP in the United States and other developed countries."[3]
[1] See Paul Krugman, "Chinese New Year," New York Times, January 1, 2010 (China "follows a mercantilist policy, keeping its trade surplus artificially high. And in today's depressed world, that policy is, to put it bluntly, predatory."); and Comments at Economic Policy Institute Forum, March 12, 2010.

Americus, GA (June 12, 2014) -- More than 25 community male leaders took part in Phoebe Sumter Medical Center's Annual Ties That Bind event that was held last Thursday at the Rees Park Economic Development Center in Americus.
"The Ties That Bind is a luncheon that was designed to coincide with Men's Health Week (June 9 - 15) and Father's Day (June 15) and pair local male leaders with local male youths from the community," said Marcus Johnson, Regional Marketing Manager for Phoebe. "Some of these youths do not have father figures in their lives, and the luncheon allowed us to pair a community leader with a child. The leader not only taught the child how to tie a tie, but they also got a chance to eat lunch and talk to them as well. We started having this ceremony in 2011 and once again it was a very successful event and everyone who came out had a great time."
Johnson served as emcee of the event, and Phoebe Sumter Board Chair Brad Lafevers thanked everyone for attending and gave an update on the happenings at Phoebe Sumter. He also encouraged the young males to visit the hospital for a tour and think about a career in the medical field upon graduation. Brittany Dawson, Executive Director for Learning for Everyone, Inc., spoke about the local mentor program and encouraged the community leaders to consider being a mentor to the local youth for the upcoming school year. Words of inspiration were also given by Barry Blount, Mayor of Americus; Mike Cheokas, Representative of 138th District and Kenneth Cutts, District Director for Congressman Sanford Bishop, 2nd District.
"We can't thank all of our community leaders enough for taking time out of their busy schedules to come and support this event," said Johnson. "Our kids were able to see men of all professions at one time and they were there just for them, and that is something that they will remember. Our kids are that important and we want to do everything we can to support them as they become the future leaders of our community."

Anniversary Games: Mo Farah sets personal best in 3,000m
Double Olympic champion Mo Farah delighted a raucous sell-out crowd by easily winning the men's 3,000m at the Anniversary Games in London.
Farah failed to add the British record to his growing list of achievements, but did set a personal best of seven minutes 36.85 seconds.
Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill made her return from injury in the 100m hurdles and long jump.
She was fourth in the hurdles in 13.08 but last out of eight in the long jump.
"British athletics needs Mo just as much as the athletics world needs Usain Bolt. He's put on a show today and I don't think he even broke sweat."
Both Ennis-Hill and Farah were back on the Olympic Stadium track where they had captivated a nation during their gold medal-winning performances on that never to be forgotten "Super Saturday" at London 2012.
"This is where I love to run and last year at the Olympics was a really big year for me," said Farah, who comfortably finished ahead of America's Ryan Hill in second.
"This is where I made my name. Each time I race I want to make my country proud. I am honoured to represent my country."
As expected there was ear-splitting support for the two Olympians, who have experienced differing fortunes since their successes 12 months ago, with Ennis-Hill's season hampered by a left Achilles injury.
On the other end of the spectrum, Farah has been in phenomenal form and the 30-year-old says he is now a stronger athlete than the one who captured gold in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at London 2012.
Only last week Farah, already the British record-holder in the 5,000m, 10,000m and half-marathon, broke Steve Cram's long-standing 1500m British record.
"We think Jessica is healthy and I know she will go back to the drawing board. It was about how well she ran today and not how fast."
Hopes were high that Farah would break David Moorcroft's British 3,000m record of 7mins 32.79 secs, a mark set 31 years ago.
Even though there was a pacemaker in the race, a record-breaking run seemed improbable as the race entered the final two laps, although that did not stop spectators rising to their feet as Farah entered the home straight.
Such was Farah's margin of victory, the Briton was kissing the track in celebration as his nearest rivals were crossing the line.
Although he missed the British record by four seconds Farah's commanding performance raises expectations further that he can replicate his Olympic feats at next month's World Championships.
"Tomorrow [Sunday] I'll go to St Moritz to train ahead of the World Championships and hopefully I'll get on the podium there [in Moscow]," added the Oregon-based Farah.
However, with the World Championships only two weeks away, British fans will be waiting nervously to discover whether Ennis-Hill has come through her two events unscathed.

Mo runs in GB shirt because he grew up in this country and is proud to have done so. It seems many on here aren't so proud seeing as they need to run down every success GB sportsmen earn through many years of hard work and sacrifice. @173....are you aware that Mohammed is a top 20 British name now....plus how many times have you ever heard to him being called anything but Mo Farah?

It makes so much sense that some people who have never contributed to the British society anything other than the what their bowels excrete, find so much pleasure in judging who can and can not be British. You can safely assume they are led by a sense of inferiority and perhaps shame.
Well done to Mo Farah and all those who have joined the British nation over the years injecting fresh impetus.

You think Anniversary Games are boring? Remember that The Professional Ball-kicking season probably starts soon (AKA diving, whinging & tantrum League). Now THAT is mindbogglingly dumb, and boring as well.

I think you'll find that he calls himself Mo. he is British and of African origin and is rightly proud of both. GB can be proud of him as can Somalia. No issue.

#17,3. Excuse my ignorance but (notwithstanding tired arguments on nationality where people's views are now entrenched one way or the other and sensible informed argument went out of the door years ago with the selection of Jamie Salmon for the England rugby team...nothing new under the sun!), is there a passage in the Koran that forbids the use of a diminutive of the prophet's name?
Comment number 173. Posted by dantson 28 Jul 2013 15:03
His name is Mohamed, not Mo. Stop trying to anglicise his name to make him appear British. He is Somalian, end of discussion. Please end this obsession BBC

Hello! Work is taking almost all of my time these days, and sometimes I get really frustrated and depressed regarding how little leisure time is left for myself… But well, my expensive hobby (makeup, skincare, clothes, shoes and bags are not cheap!) must get paid, haha…
Today, I wanted to share some photos of the latest Lunasol eyeshadow palette that I got. It's the Three-Dimensional Eyes in 05 Deep Beige from the Lunasol 2011 Autumn Makeup Collection.
Lunasol Three-Dimensional Eyes ~ 05 Deep Beige
So apparently, I'm still not sick of neutral colors! Considering beiges and earthy tones are my all time favorite colors, how could I ever get sick of? No way!
05 Deep Beige is a combination of beige, cool toned gold, sand and a deep and intense grayish browns with a hint of khaki undertone.
All shades go on smoothly and are easy to blend. The pigmentation is pretty good. I would describe it as a translucent opaqueness (if that makes sense), that makes the colors look very flattering, as I made the experience that highly pigmented colors often tend to look dull and flat on my eyes.
I can see myself wearing 05 Deep Beige a lot, be it for a daytime to-go look or for a more intense smokey eye.
The cool toned beige, gold and grayish brown are shades that are very flattering on my NC 15 skintone, and I love how it creates a look that is intense yet subtle at the same time.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to take photos of me wearing it yet. Along with this palette, I also picked up the Lunasol Nail Finish in EX 34 Medium Beige, which I will show you in another post. I hope my thoughts and photos were helpful!

A bunch of academic bloggers have been talking about the American Scholar essay by William Deresiewicz. The always-perceptive Timothy Burke offers some insightful comments about the general problems of elite education.
Burke is also a lot kinder to Deresiewicz than I'm inclined to be. Because, frankly, the piece pisses me off, from the very first paragraph:
It didn't dawn on me that there might be a few holes in my education until I was about 35. I'd just bought a house, the pipes needed fixing, and the plumber was standing in my kitchen. There he was, a short, beefy guy with a goatee and a Red Sox cap and a thick Boston accent, and I suddenly learned that I didn't have the slightest idea what to say to someone like him. So alien was his experience to me, so unguessable his values, so mysterious his very language, that I couldn't succeed in engaging him in a few minutes of small talk before he got down to work. Fourteen years of higher education and a handful of Ivy League dees, and there I was, stiff and stupid, struck dumb by my own dumbness. "Ivy retardation," a friend of mine calls this. I could carry on conversations with people from other countries, in other languages, but I couldn't talk to the man who was standing in my own house.
He goes on from there about how elite colleges and universities unceasingly reinforce their elite status, and flatter their overly-entitled students. I'm not going to claim that this doesn't happen– Lord knows, I went to college with some people who sport an impressive sense of entitlement, and I've taught more than a few since becoming faculty.
But really, talking to plumbers has nothing whatsoever to do with education, elite or otherwise. It's entirely a matter of personal choices– if you find yourself unable to make small talk with someone in a blue-collar job, it's because you have chosen to be the sort of person who is incapable of talking to people in blue-collar jobs.
I mean, as Scott notes in Tim Burke's comments, if nothing else, baseball would seem to be a pretty obvious place to start, assuming you've already exhausted the topic of all this weather we've been having. And really, it takes a significant effort to live in Massachusetts and not pick up enough about the Red Sox to be able to fake your way through the obligatory five minutes of idle chatter with your plumber.
You're not expected to be able to carry on detailed conversations about the merits of copper pipes vs. PVC, or different brands of tools. Small talk is just that– small. It's idle chatter about topics of general interest, and it takes work to put yourself in enough of a bubble to have absolutely no common cultural reference points.
Deresiewicz's anecdote isn't representative of any general trend in academia, elite or otherwise, save for the tiny subset of people who make a virtue of their isolation. Sadly, the professoriate is absolutely crawling with them. You know the type, the ones who manage to smugly work the fact that they don't own a television, let alone watch television, into any conversation, who won't cop to watching a movie that doesn't come with subtitles, and who profess absolute ignorance of popular music after about 1920.
These people are also depressingly prone to long laments about the shallowness and lack of character of kids these days (though they would never be so declasse as to use the phrase "kids these days"). And they annoy me to no end.
They annoy me in much the same way that self-justifying nerds do (see also the Making Light discussion): because I used to be one of them, and now I see how wrong I was. People at elite schools aren't incapable of interacting with hoi pollloi because of their excessively elite education, any more than nerds are unpopular because the other kids are envious of their brains. In both cases, their social failings have the same source: either by choice or through inexperience, they are unable to see that the things they are interested in are not the only things worth being interested in.
When you get right down to it, that's the one and only secret of making small talk with people from other classes or other backgrounds. It helps if you actively share some interests, but that's not a necessary condition. All you really need to be able to carry on a conversation with another person is a willingness to accept that their interests are worthy of discussion.
You don't have to be a big sports fan to talk to someone who is a sports fan– you just need to accept that sports are a reasonable topic of conversation, and refrain from changing the channel when the sports news comes on. You don't have to like baseball, you just need to have enough of a connection with mass culture to know whether the local team has been winning or losing recently.
This applies to all sorts of areas– you don't need to watch "American Idol," but you should have the minimal pop-culture awareness to know roughly what it is. You don't need to listen to rap or hip-hop, but you should at least be able to recognize the bigger names. You don't have to go to the latest Will Ferrell movie, but you should at least be aware that there's a guy named Will Ferrell, who makes movies that are allegedly funny.
And if all else fails, you can even turn ignorance to your advantage, provided you're willing to listen to a lecture about the virtues of whatever the person you're talking to is into. "You know, I've never understood how this points business works in NASCAR…" is a perfectly good conversational sentence, provided you can smile politely while the other person explains the scoring.
This may sound like a low-class version of "How To Talk About Books You Haven't Read," but ultimately, that's what incidental social interactions are about. You're not expected to have a deep, searching conversation with your plumber, you're just supposed to chat for a few minutes to indicate that you see them as more than just a robot who snakes out your drains on command.
The only way to make yourself completely incapable of talking to your plumber is by both deliberately cutting yourself off from mass culture and being unable or unwilling to even feign interest in what they are interested in. That's a conversation-stopper all right, because it sends a very clear message: "You are so far beneath me that I won't even pretend that you're worth talking to."
As I've said in the past, when I read that "Nerds" piece, what I hear is myself at age 13, trying to justify to myself the fact that nobody in my junior high class liked me. The problem wasn't with them, though– they weren't jealous of my brains– and it wasn't my innate superiority– my interests were not so deep and mature as to be beyond their comprehension. The problem was that I hadn't learned to play the game of social interaction– I took a perverse sort of pride in not being interested in cars, or sports, or much of popular music, and didn't hesitate to let my classmates know that.
My social life improved dramatically when I learned that many of those topics are perfectly valid topics of conversation. I developed an interest in sports and pop music, and while I never got into cars, I at least learned to keep my mouth shut when other people were talking about them, rather than saying "Cars are stupid," and earning myself another verbal beat-down.
Deresiewicz is at least putting a different spin on the tired old "fans are slans" line of argument, recognizing that the problem is with him, not with the rest of society. He's still engaged in annoying self-justification, though, by trying to pass the blame for his behavior (and that of many of his students) off onto the elite educational system.
What I hear when I read that opening paragraph, and the rest of the piece, is not a genuine expression of concern over a real problem with the university system. What I hear is someone who was forced to confront the fact that he's an asshole, and is trying to find someone else to blame for his asshole behavior.

Cat 6a Bulk Cable
<-- Choose your Product Type from the Left Menu
Got questions? We've got answers! Call right now - 866-738-8993
We guarantee a lifetime of customer service and competitive pricing.
Perfect for 10G Network Connections
Category 6a or Augmented Category 6 is an enhanced performance standard for ethernet twisted pair cable systems. Category 6a is design to perform at frequencies up to a minimum 500 MHz twice that of standard Category 6. Our cable is tested up to 500 MHz and is perfect for use with 10/100/1000Base-T and 10GBase-T high speed Ethernet network installations. This high performance cable meets or exceeds the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 specifications for Cat 6a cable.
Performance Rated Cat 6a Cable
To achieve the network performance of 10GBASE-T, 6a cable must be properly installed and terminated to meet specifications. Only Cat 6a designated connectors and distribution panels may be used. The Cat 6a cable's maximum length is 100 meters (328 ft) in a favorable alien crosstalk environment. The cable must not be kinked or bent too tightly; the bend radius should be at least four times the outer diameter of the cable. The wire pairs must not be untwisted and the outer jacket must not be stripped back more than 1/2 inch (1.27 cm).
Shielded Cable (STP) vs Unshielded Cable (UTP)
Cat 6a cables are most commonly utilized with unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). However, environments with large motors, generators, and certain types of high-voltage lighting are major sources of Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). In these applications, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable will help protect data signals when connected properly.
Shielded Cat 6a cables must be grounded for safety and effectiveness with a continuous shield connection maintained from end to end. Ground loops can develop when there is more than one ground connection and the difference in end-to-end common mode voltage potential can introduce noise into the cabling.
Call us to discuss your application!
Whether you're doing new installations or upgrading your existing infrastructure, Warehouse Cables has the Cat 6a cable you need, at an affordable price!

25 Years of Progress
Since his inauguration in 1987, Lawrence Biondi, S.J., has led the University through a remarkable era of transformation and progress. He has worked tirelessly to recruit the finest students, to increase the University's academic reputation, to establish SLU as a major research center, to modernize the campus and to help revitalize SLU's Midtown neighborhood.
Biondi's contributions to SLU and the St. Louis Metropolitan Region have been widely heralded. Among his many honors and accolades, he has earned the prestigious St. Louis Award, the Leon R. Strauss Urban Pioneer Award and the John D. Levy Human Relations Award. He also was named St. Louis' "Citizen of the Year" in 2005.
At the national level, Biondi has received the Chief Executive Leadership Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
A comparison between the academic year before Biondi became president (1986-1987) and now reveals a number of significant advancements for the University, including:
- The size of the student body has grown from 9,869 to 13,981.
- The average ACT score of incoming freshmen has gone up five points from 22.7 to 27.2.
- SLU's Midtown campus has more than doubled in size, from 113 acres with 62 buildings to 268 acres with 131 buildings.
- The University's endowment has grown from $93 million to nearly $853 million, ranking it among the largest for all Jesuit institutions.
- Annual research funding has grown from $8.9 million to $51 million.
- SLU began the 2012-2013 academic year by welcoming one of the biggest and brightest freshman classes in history, drawing new students from all over the United States and from around the world.
- The University is currently developing a donated building in downtown St. Louis into a state-of-the-art facility for its School of Law — a move that is being lauded by city and civic leaders.
- And SLU recently completed renovations to its Pius XII Memorial Library, while work is under way to transform a historic gymnasium into a welcoming Center for Global Citizenship.

- About Natural Gas Earthquake/Seismic Shut-off and Excess Flow Valves
- Installation Requirements
- CPUC Decision 01-11-068
- Building and Safety Ordinances
- Frequently Asked Questions
About Natural Gas Earthquake/Seismic Shut-off and Excess Flow Valves
A natural gas seismic shut-off valve automatically shuts off your gas service when an earthquake of a sufficient magnitude occurs at your home's location. An excess flow valve automatically shuts off your gas service when a significant gas leak or overpressure surge occurs at a pipe or appliance located beyond the point where the valve is installed.
If an earthquake or other significant event causes your seismic shut-off or excess flow valve to close, you may follow the manufacturer's instructions for resetting the valve so that gas flows again. However, Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) recommends that you contact a licensed, qualified professional or SoCalGas to reset the valve, and to verify that no gas leaks exist, to perform a safety check of your gas appliances before they are placed back in operation and to re-light your pilot lights. Remember that following a major emergency it may take many days or even weeks before someone can come to your location. (SoCalGas charges a fee to reset valves and re-light pilot lights when your seismic shut-off valve has closed due to a non-seismic occurrence.)
Seismic and Excess Flow Valve Installation Requirements
If you choose to have a seismic gas shut-off or excess flow valve installed, or are mandated to have one by your insurance company or the local Department of Building and Safety, the valve must be installed on the customer's houseline. If installation requires gas service closure, you must contact SoCalGas to shut-off the service and restore service when installation is completed.
Under the regulations of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), General Order 112-E, only SoCalGas or its certified contractors are authorized to operate the gas service shut-off valve.
Gas service shut-off and restoration of service orders can be scheduled by contacting us at 1-800-427-2200.
See picture:
NOTE: When you hire a licensed, qualified professional to install your seismic or excess flow valve, you must ensure that the valve is installed on your houseline, not on SoCalGas's facilities. SoCalGas's facilities include all of the pipe fittings installed and maintained by SoCalGas, up to and including the last elbow or tee connecting to your houseline. All unauthorized valve installations found on SoCalGas's facilities will be removed. In addition, Seismic or excess flow valves are not permitted in utility curb meter vaults.
If you have any questions about your insurance company requirements, contact your insurance company or agent.
CPUC Decision on the Installation of Seismic Valves (Decision 01-11-068)
Effective February 10, 2002, California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) Decision 01-11-068, prohibits installation of a seismic valve on SoCalGas's facilities. In addition, SoCalGas no longer installs seismic shut-off valves for its customers, and does not allow any customer owned equipment, including excess flow valves, be installed on SoCalGas's facilities.
If you have a seismic valve that was installed by SoCalGas or one of its authorized contractors on or before the February 10, 2002 cutoff date, that is located on SoCalGas's facilities, with proper documentation your installation may be allowed to remain in place. Authorized contractors are those who participated in SoCalGas's seismic program and were trained by SoCalGas to work on their facilities.
Building and Safety Ordinances Regarding Earthquake Preparedness
Your local Department of Building and Safety may require the installation of an automatic seismic gas shut-off valve or excess flow valve. Contact your local Department of Building and Safety for their seismic requirements.

This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, August 19th, 2014 at 11:28 am.
HURRY on over to Amazon where you can score a FREE Set of 12 Kitchen Buddies Top Quality Silicone Baking Cups when you enter promo code TNX5SUOG at checkout ($11.99 value!). Plus, if you choose slower shipping you'll be able to get a FREE $1 Amazon Video Credit! These won't last long, so act FAST!
(Thanks, Cathy!)
188 Hip Readers Commented
I just managed to get one. Free + 1$ media credit – I have been loving that promo!!
It keeps saying it's available but when I add it to cart, it's gone.
Now it says promo code is invalid
Wow just got an email that mine already shipped!!!
These stink. I bought them last time and they ripped my cupcakes apart. The few muffins I baked without them came out perfect.
got mine with prime account for free shipping thanks!!
Just got my shipping email! Yeah!
Me too!
Does anyone know a good price on these in store?
I found 6 packs of colorful silicone baking cups at Walmart for under $2. They were with th other cake decorating/Wilton items. I haven't used them for baking yet but they are working well for my daughter's lunches so far (it's only the second day of school though!)
Thank you I'll take a look at Walmart. I plan on using them for my sons lunch as well.
Back up but promo code no longer works 😩 bummer!
Just got an email that my order shipped
I'm telling you…Amazon has my business for life! I logged on this morning to find that my silicone cups were cancelled. :( I got on the phone and immediately got an agent, who helped me with the order. The price for the cups had gone up, but she was able to apply the promo code, and give me free one-day shipping on the item, and my total was still $0.00. This isn't the first time they have helped me with these situations, and they are always so quick to fix problems and provide excellent customer service!
Thanks for the tip! My order got cancelled too, so I called and they quickly helped me out…baking cups are still free and free shipping! Woohoo!
I'm happy for you but posting about it probably isn't the best idea. When I saw this post, I expected LOTS of cancellations. If Amazon gets deluged with requests, it could lead to unhappy policy changes for consumers. We've certainly seen that before. For anyone interested, you can get these for around $2 at craft stores with Q.
It said the code was invalid
They are back in stock, but priced at $14.97. I used the code, which brought the price down to $2.98 shipped (with Prime). These will be a great replacement for the paper liners I use for my kids' lunches.
the code didnt work for me either :(

"Russia Today" (RT) is an Illuminated Disinfo Mill
Annals of False Opposition
RT portrays a conflict between Russia and the West, or Left and Right, when in reality it's a Punch & Judy show. They are all puppets of the Judeo Masonic Banking cartel.
The Kremlin-funded propaganda channel Russia Today indicates that Russia itself is an Illuminati proxy. The station promotes CIA assets and Co-Intel operations.
Russia Today is an English language channel that is widely available in Western countries. It is a regular feature on American satellite packages and is included on Freeview, the digital terrestrial network in Britain that reaches 55 of the country's 70 million people.
RT is aimed at people who distrust the mainstream media. The majority of coverage is devoted to opposition to Western crimes. This entails a broad range of issues, from the American wars to the emerging police state, the democratic deficit to bank fraud. The coverage has struck a chord with people: the Russia Today YouTube channel was the first to reach 500 million views.
The purpose of false opposition is to define the parameters of discussion so people don't realize who is their real enemy. RT portrays conflict between Russia and the West, or Left & Right, when in reality, it's a Punch and Judy Show. They are puppets of the Judeo Masonic Banking cartel. Where,for example, was Putin when Ghadaffi needed him?

Well said my friend.
It is obvious to me that the Germans treated the Jews far better than the Americans treated the Japanese.(As you might have guessed,I don't believe the massive Zionist disinfo campaign about the holocaust).
Americans are treated best. They get to eat nutritious GMO food and not even know it.

Is there any way of setting location reminders from mac / web
I'd like to be able to set location reminders from mac / web
Obviously i know these will only fire on my mobile device (android)
But would be good to be able to set them from my mac (like i can with apple reminders)
All responses
Hello Alex,
That's possible on any platform. Please right-click on a task and choose "Reminders". Here you can use the gray icon to select the reminder type (location) and start typing the name of the location. Then, use the auto-complete feature to select it.
Best regards,
The autocomplete bit isn't working though...
I start typing, and nothing happens...
Please make sure that your browser isn't blocking Google Maps (or Apple Maps) as Todoist would have to connect with this service to use auto-complete. Any ad- or script-blocking plugins could cause such issue.
Also, try to log out and back into Todoist.
Best regards,
Cool, logging out an back in did the trick

Pork Belly: Bacon's better half
Meat marries well with other flavors
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The lusty and enthusiastic appreciation of calorie-rich pork products is a restaurant trend these days, and no other pork part is more decadent and satisfying than pork belly.
Of course pork belly is usually processed into bacon, but it is being prepared fresh more and more often.
"The best way I can describe pork belly it is that it's unsmoked bacon," said Wess Rose, executive chef at Ri Ra Irish Pub in Evansville, Ind. "It's the same piece of meat, but it's cut a little differently. It takes other flavors very well."
Rose began his culinary career in Southern Indiana, then attended culinary school at the Art Institute of San Francisco from 2010 to 2011. He worked in California clubs, soaking up the latest west coast trends before he moved back to Indiana. Rose stresses that pork belly, although similar to bacon, is not bacon and shouldn't be cooked the same way. He prefers to use a marinated product that stays pink and is already saturated with flavor, sliced thicker than bacon and seared, but left soft.
"I don't like to cook it like bacon," he said. "I don't want it to be crisp like bacon. It's like a steak; a five-degree difference in temperature can make a lot of difference to a dish.
"Being a pub setting, we use pork belly with a cheddar and ale sauce and pickled onions on a burger," said Rose, who calls the creation the Full Belly Burger.
"Pork belly has really good uses as opposed to other pork products that are similar," said Rose. "You have prosciutto or Serrano ham, or other cured pork products, even lardo to some extent, that are meant to be eaten alone. Pork belly really pairs well with other things. If there's a time I want a dish to be sublimely porky, I use that. It's not bacon, not pancetta. It's a little more domestic from that standpoint."
Serves 12-15
1 5- to 6-pound piece fresh pork belly, skin on
1 (trimmed) 2- to 3-pound boneless, center-cut pork loin
3 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
1 Put belly skin side down; arrange loin in center. Roll belly around loin so the short ends of the belly meet. If any of the belly or loin overhangs, trim meat. Unroll; set loin aside.
2 Toast fennel seeds and red pepper flakes in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Tip spices into a bowl; let cool. Finely grind spices in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle, then transfer to a small bowl, along with the sage, rosemary, and garlic; set fennel mixture aside.
3 Set belly skin side down on a board. Using a knife, score the belly flesh in a checkerboard pattern ¹/ " deep so roast will cook evenly. Flip belly skin side up. Using a paring knife, poke dozens of ¹/ 8"-deep holes through skin all over belly. Don't be gentle! Keep poking.
4 Using the jagged edge of a meat mallet, pound skin all over for 3 minutes to tenderize, which will help make skin crispy when roasted.
5 Turn belly and generously salt both it and loin; rub both with fennel mixture. Arrange loin down middle of belly. Roll belly around loin; tie crosswise with kitchen twine at ½" intervals. Trim twine. Transfer roast to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
6 Refrigerate roast, uncovered, for 1-2 days to allow skin to air-dry; pat occasionally with paper towels. When ready to cook, let porchetta sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
7 Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season porchetta with salt. Roast on rack in baking sheet, turning once, for 40 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and continue roasting, rotating the pan and turning porchetta occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 145 degrees, 1½-2 hours more. If skin is not yet deep brown and crisp, increase heat to 500 degrees and roast for 10 minutes more. Let rest for 30 minutes. Using a serrated knife, slice into ½" rounds.
Note: Leftovers are excellent sliced thin and eaten on crusty rolls as a sandwich.

Stuffed Pork Belly Roast with Apples & Sage
Serves: 4-6
For the apple stuffing:
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and roughly chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
For the pork belly:
3 ½ pound piece pork belly (approximately)
- salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 red onions, quartered
- handful fresh sage leaves
1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2 To make the apple stuffing, fry the apples and onion in a tablespoon of olive oil until golden brown.
3 Add the garlic and sage and allow to fry for another minute before adding the apple cider vinegar.
4 Season to taste and set aside.
5 Season the pork belly and place the apple stuffing on one edge (lay the pork belly on the counter in front of you). Carefully roll the pork belly and secure with string.
6 Any leftover stuffing can be placed around the pork belly with the red onions in the roasting tray.
7 Drizzle the pork belly with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper.
8 Place the pork belly in the oven.
9 Allow to roast for 30 minutes at 400 degrees before turning down the heat to 325 degrees. Allow to roast for another 2 hours. (I like to check the belly every 30 minutes or so to make sure the onions and apples aren't burning. If it seems like the roasting dish is too dry, you can add a cup of water/apple juice)
10 After 2 hours, remove the belly from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with the caramelized apples and onions from the roasting tray.

Crispy Korean Sliced Pork Belly
Serves 6-8 as an appetizer
1 pound pork belly
1 teaspoon dry ginger powder
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon MSG (optional)
1 Wash the meat under cold water. Cut the belly into strips approximately 2 inches wide, and submerge the pork belly meat in a pot of water and boil for about 15 minutes on medium heat.
2 Remove the pork and place it in a colander to let it dry for about 15 minutes. Pat the skin dry with a paper towel for extra crispy skin.
3 Stab the pork with a knife a few times and rub the spices and salt on the flesh only (not the skin). We recommend layering the spices in the following order: spiced ginger powder, 5 spice powder, white pepper, salt and optional MSG.
4 Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, though over night is better for a deeper flavor.
5 In a Dutch oven or a large cast iron pan, fill it with oil enough to cover the skin of the pork belly. Avoid using olive oil since it has a low smoking point. You can place the pork belly in pan while the oil is still cold to prevent splatter. The pork will splatter a lot, so it is better to use a Dutch oven with a heavy lid or use a splatter screen to place over your skillet.
6 Fry the skin side first for roughly 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turn it on the side and fry it only for a minute or two, repeat on all sides (it is best not to fry it on the flesh side for too long as it will toughen the meat).
7 Let it rest until cool to the touch and cut into slices.

How do you rid an island of an out of control predator? Parachute toxic dead mice in. From NPR:
Here's the latest plan scientists have come up with to kill some of the estimated 2 million brown tree snakes that have wiped out many other animals on Guam:
In April or May they're going to lace dead mice with painkillers, attach them to little parachutes, drop them from helicopters and hope that they get snagged in the jungle foliage. Then, if all goes well, the snakes — which as their name implies hang out in trees — will eat the mice and die from ingesting the painkillers' active ingredients.
We aren't kidding. That's what The Associated Press is reporting from Guam's Andersen Air Force Base, near where this experimental airdrop will happen.
To work, the snakes are going to have to discover their snacks from the sky fairly quickly. According to the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service:
"Dead mice are attractive to snakes only for 2-3 days. After this time, and owing to the tropical climate, the lure is no longer available."
Scientists don't think the mice bombs will be a threat to other animals, so long as they get caught in the jungle canopy. There aren't many birds left on the island — because of the snakes.
File this in the "it's so crazy it just might work files". And it just might at that.

Eyeliner confuses me. Where do I put it — the top lid, the bottom, or both? Lash line or water line? Should I use a pencil, powder, or liquid? I'd like to experiment with some different liner looks (maybe even a cat eye??), but as you can see, I'm pretty hopeless. Help!
Eyeliner can be dramatic or subtle, sexy or innocent. Different textures can be applied in different ways to accessorize the eyes — from liquid and gel to pencil, in colored, glitter, or metallic finishes. Pencil is the easiest eyeliner to master and the most forgiving, producing a blunt line that can be smudged. Liquid liner creates a precise line for a super-glam look, but calls for a steady hand. Gel liner, which comes in many colors, gives a similar effect but is easier to apply.
Experiment with colors other than brown and black; eyeliner can complement or contrast with your eyeshadow. Gray can be very effective, while green, purple, and blue can freshen a look. Nude eyeliner pencil around the inner rim of the eyes makes eyes appear rounder, dark color on the inner rim elongates the eye, making them seem narrower. This gives a sultry look, but it will make eyes appear smaller. Don't use any eyeliner other than pencil on the inner rim of your eyes. If you have close-set eyes, keeping eyeliner to the outer corners from the midpoint will be more flattering than if you draw the line all the way to the nose.
Here are some full-proof tips for you:
- Chose a soft, creamy pencil that will glide on without dragging the skin.
- Sharpen the pencil, but not to a dagger point.
- The most common mistake is to draw eyeliner too high, leaving a noticeable strip of skin between the lashes and the liner. To avoid this, work the pencil tip right in at the root of the lash. Start just in from the outer corner, and draw along the lash line toward the midpoint. Use short, feathery strokes or draw a series of dots and smudge them together. As you gain confidence, draw a solid line for precise definition.
- As you pass the midpoint of the eye and are approaching the inner corner, turn the pencil so that you are drawing underneath on the inner rim, so that the line tapers off at the right point.
- For the lower lash line, draw right on the edge of the rim — not on it, since that makes eyes look smaller.
- The golden rule for good makeup is to never have a hard line. Use a smudger or your little finger to soften the line.
Once you've mastered this, experiment with bolder looks, gel and liquid liners, and the cat eye!

A proposed state law that would grant immunity to people who report drug overdoses in Pennsylvania took an important step forward Tuesday.
The House Judiciary Committee approved a bill that would bar authorities from prosecuting someone who seeks help for an overdose victim.
Officials in support of the bill say it will save lives.
They say a guarantee of immunity might get a person who feared prosecution to help someone who overdosed.
The proposed legislation is now moving to the full House for a vote.

I gave Aussie Farmers Direct 5 stars for each item because they really are worth the higher prices though I usually try to pay less for my groceries. There is no doubt that the quality is superb and the service - fresh food delivered to your door - is outstanding.
I had several difficulties with the website but from the newsletters I receive, I see that that's undergoing constant revision and improvement.
I would love to be a much bigger Aussie Farmers Direct customer but for me, ducking out to the shops might actually be easier.
Still, I'd highly recommend it to anyone who values quality and supporting local, and have no negatives to say about the level of service or the product standards.
We get fruit & veg delivered with Aussie Farmers Direct, and absolutely love it! Haven't actually met our delivery guy yet, but have spoken to him over the phone, and the service is great!
We get all our Milk delivered from Aussie Farmers and it makes life a breeze. We just leave out the bag Tuesday and they ring your doorbell once it is in the bag. A couple times they didn't have enough of what we were after so they will replace it with another very similar item (usually same item but from a different brand). In the past we also got our yoghurt delivered but couldn't quite keep up with the supply every week!
I like knowing that I'm buying Australian products and the drivers are very friendly and efficient at their job.
Love the quality, although it isn't always consistent. I love the fruit and veg boxes, so easy to plan weekly meals.The prices are a bit higher than other farms and things locally but it is worth it for the ease of front door delivery.
I have been a customer on and off for a number of years.
I love the convenience of receiving a weekly delivery of Australian grown fruit and veg but get frustrated by the inconsistent quality.
The customer service is helpful and quick to refund any poor quality items. The custimer service web chat feature is very useful I just wish I wasn't so familiar with it.
the food from aussie farmers is really fresh. it can be on the expensive side however but it is aussie owned and you know its fresh. i had a few issues with the delivery driver continually not following directions and leaving the esky out in the open rather than behind my fence as directed. it is quite handy though to wake up on a saturday morning and have fresh bagels, eggs, bacon & milk.
I love Aussie Farmers. Thank you for taking the pain away from shopping. You are always delivering me the best produce and delight me with new cool boxes when ever the old one needs replacing. Awesome guys
We have been using Aussie Farmers Direct for the past year and the local franchise was recently awarded franchisee of the year with good reason. The food produce is always fresh, the service is great and they always notify us if there is anything out-of-stock with notes or face-to-face when the package is dropped off. The amounts are usually deducted off the invoice at a later stage. Whilst it's frustrating that they do not re-use the boxes, our Franchise takes them back to give to local schools.
I think it's a great idea having your fruit, veg, milk & general groceries delivered to your door stop - it's bringing the old days back again!
Approximate cost: $35
The concept of this business is fantastic. Buy Aussie produce and have it delivered to your door. Support the farmers. I've been quite happy with the quality and they now have an app for ordering which makes it easier. However their service is quite poor. Many of my orders had mistakes, if they don't have an item it simply isn't sent to you without any communication. They also overpackage the food with lots of plastic and refuse to reuse the boxes citing health regulations even though other services do this. I still get my meat and dairy from them but would swap if there was another provider who could do better environmentally and on service.
We got some credit to use Aussie Farmers Direct when we bought our fridge. We started off ordering the fruit and veggie boxes, but to be honest, it just didn't work for us. Getting one or two of an item wasn't really enough to cook a meal, and sometimes the substitutions when at item was unavailable was odd. For example, we were supposed to get a rockmelon but it was substituted for grapes, and there was already a bunch of grapes in the box. Massive grape overload!
My partner is now using up the credit ordering seafood and meats and he tells me the quality is very good (I don't eat meat). You have to admire getting up and having fresh produce already delivered to your door by 5am. Having said that, when we have used up the credit, I don't think we'll continue using them - I personally find it easier going to a store and selecting the items I want, making planning meals so much easier for our family.
"An almost weekly order of organic fruit and vegetables. They are the nicest"…
"Scott did a pre-sale full building and pest inspection on the house that I just"…
"Internal sliding door. Highly recommend Chris - he turned up on time, consulted"…

Too many adults in our state lack a college degreeOur state has far too few adults with a two-year or four-year college degree, and Gov. Nathan Deal has set a goal of raising the number of Georgians graduating from college or technical school by 250,000 by 2020.
This week at a Complete College Georgia Summit at the University of Georgia, speakers outlined startling numbers showing why our state needs to meet or exceed Deal's goal.
One of the speakers said 34 percent of Georgia adults have a two-year or four-year college degree. That's well behind the U.S. average of 42 percent. And the U.S. average is not something to cheer about. The U.S. ranks 12th in the world among nations in terms of the number of college or technical school grads.
The latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics give us another set of numbers that point out the issue locally and in our state. The Census Bureau reports this statistic: Among adults 25 years or older, 26.2 percent in Coweta County have a bachelor's degree or more (this number does not include those with technical college degrees). For Georgia as a whole, 27.5 percent of adults 25 years older have a bachelor's degree or higher.
Clearly our community and the state have a high percentage of adults who do not have college degrees at a time when more and more jobs demand such a degree.
Another Athens speaker this week pointed out why it's so imperative for more Georgians to get college or technical school degrees. The speaker said, in 1973, about 28 percent of people in the workforce had jobs requiring post-secondary training. By 2020, that percentage will increase to 65 percent.
Clearly, too many people in Georgia's workforce are not educated to meet the demands of the workplace. We need to follow Deal's lead and create a sense of urgency to get more college graduates in our state.

Asus to debut new thin and sexy Eee at Computex
Asus was one of the big brands behind the netbook craze that swept the world starting a few years back. The small little netbooks were underpowered when compared to the notebooks on the market, but the low prices and portability made them very appealing to a number of buyers. Netbooks sold in droves to users that wanted portability and basic computing needs in a cheap package. Those netbooks, like the early Eee models, were rather chunky looking though.

I work on the Mobile Millennium project, and its successor, the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project. The Mobile Millennium project aims to develop methodologies and algorithms in traffic estimation, traffic forecast and real-time routing. It is a joint effort between UC Berkeley, the California Department of Transportation, Navteq and Nokia.
In this context I am interested in efficient statistical methods for estimating traffic. In particular, I work on correctly mapping probe data to the road network, and on distributed algorthims using cloud computing. This is a joint research project with the AMPLab at UC Berkeley.
Here are a few projects I have been working on.
The Path Inference Filter (PIF) is a novel algorithm to map-match GPS trajectories on a road network. It works on GPS data sampled at high frequencies (1Hz) or low frequencies (up to 2 minute intervals) and can be adapted to a variety of scenarios (offline smoothing, online filtering, etc.). We use it in the Mobile Millennium project to map several millions of GPS points from various sources on a daily basis. We provide an implementation in Scala/Java that can map several thousands points per second on a road network comprising 2 millions road elements with high accuracy (the San Francisco Bay Area).
A nearly industrial-grade implementation (Scala) is available at https://github.com/calpath/open-traffic
A more academic (slower) implementation in Python is available at https://github.com/tjhunter/Path-Inference-Filter
More code, videos, examples are available here.
(Joint work with Matei Zaharia and Tathagata Das) We investigated solving traffic estimation at a very large scale using the Spark computing framework. We implemented an EM algorithm that can update traffic estimates in less than 5 seconds from a GPS stream with a rate of tens of thousands of observations per second (using a cluster of 80 machines).
See references [4] and [1].
The source code (Scala) is available at http://github.com/tjhunter/ Requires Spark 0.7, which will be released soon.
