Apache was purchased from the weekend head wrangler, Lonnie Salyer, in 2008. He is a buckskin paint gelding.
Apache used to be one of Lonnie's roping horses, but since he didn't have a need for speed, he just did not thrive at the sport.
This honest gelding has settled in very well at Sylvan Dale though. He loves working with the cows and taking our guests on trail rides! And his colorful markings make him very easy to spot in the herd.
Apache has also become very popular with the equine ladies and will usually hang out with Colorado and a small harem.

Video: Mark Richt Doesn't Like That Question One Bit
This week Mark Richt decided to channel is inner Nick Saban at his press conference.
The Red and Black posted the video of this exchange asking for individuals to guess on what made Mark Richt angry so early on at the podium. Have no fear; we won't make you blast your speakers at your cubicle to hear exactly what brought on this response, which is unexpected and worded oh so brilliantly.
A reporter asked Richt the following to lead off the presser: "To get this business out of the way, any suspensions that we need to know about? Are there any injuries?"
This is a bit of a sensitive subject for Richt who had to suspend three players – including star freshmen running back Isaiah Crowell – for last week's New Mexico State game for what appears to be failed drug tests. He obviously didn't like the way this question was worded and let the room know about it.
Next time your boss asks you to do something, just give them something like Richt's answer or, well, non-answer.
Then go pack your things.

"NAMIC commends the Wyoming Legislature for considering a consumer-friendly, environment-friendly, and law-enforcement-friendly proof of insurance bill that addresses the modern realities of the electronic communications age, where consumers maintain a host of important personal records on their mobile devices. NAMIC supports SF 87 because the proposed legislation allows but does not require insurers to offer proof of insurance in an electronic format and requires that the insurer and policyholder agree to the issuance of the insurance card in an electronic format."

- Most functions available from command line with supressed user dialogues, facilitating work in batch mode
- French and Czech translations (locales) for classification plots
Read more in Janoušek et al. (2011): Brand new Geochemical Data Toolkit (GCDkit 3.0) - is it worth upgrading and browsing documentation? (Yes!) . GVMS, 18, 26-30.
See changelog for the list of changes since ver.2.3.
The GeoChemical Data ToolKIT, or in short GCDkit, is a system for handling and recalculation of whole-rock analyses from igneous rocks. It is written in R, a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
Main features of GCDkit are:
- Standard geochemical calculations involving major-, trace-element as well as Sr-Nd data
- Effective data management (searching, grouping)
- Common plots (binary, ternary, spider diagrams)
- Graphic output to publication quality
- Modular architecture (= easily expandable and modifiable)
- Transparent functionality & availability (open source freeware, WWW)
Currently, GCDkit works under the Windows GUI, and Windows XP/Vista/7 are recommended systems. Under previous versions of Windows R may become unstable, failing to redraw graphical windows if too many of them are open. Furthermore, our users reported GCDkit functionality under Linux with emulated Windows.
As you may imagine, we have invested hours of our time into this free project. Do you like GCDkit? Do you want to support us somehow? Then please link to our page, let us know your comments or submit a bug report. Have you known that you can even contribute some code ? In any case, we would appreciate if you quote the key paper concerned with the GCDkit software:

Looks really natural!
Before & After: My Red Hair Transformation
As a college senior approaching graduation day, I could definitely use a major confidence boost. Between final exams and job applications, I'm completely swamped and totally exhausted. So a few weeks ago, I decided to give myself a much-needed jolt of energy by making the ultimate hair color transformation: dying my hair red.
Although I'd been a blonde and a brunette, red hair was completely new territory for me. Luckily, I had the LHJ beauty editors to guide me through my transition. They sent me to the Marie Robinson Salon to meet with Marie herself, a color genius who instantly matched me with the perfect shade of red. She told me that cool tones work best with fair skin like mine, so my warm golden brown color wasn't doing me any favors. We decided on a cool light auburn shade that would brighten my skin tone and add some spice to my look. Knowing I was in the hands of an expert colorist, I sat back and let Marie work her magic.
While Marie applied my new color, I asked her for some advice on how to maintain my new look. Since red hair is notorious for fading fast, she suggested coloring my hair at home between salon visits to keep the red vibrant. Marie recommended Clairol Nice 'n Easy in Light Auburn as a practically foolproof way to get great results (even for a hair color newbie like me!), along with Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice 'n Easy every few weeks to keep my roots in check between dyes.
When Marie finally unveiled my new color, I knew she was right—it's the perfect shade for me. It's amazing how such a small change has made me feel ready to tackle my job interviews. Overflowing with confidence, I'm ready ace my final exams, sport my graduation cap on top of my new 'do, and start my career in style. Best of all, I can't look in the mirror without smiling! —KATIE HOPPENJANS

people have often asked me why i like to transform myself. the reason is simple it is freeing. When i become a creature i temporarily transcend gender and feel free from conforming to the constraints of mainstream beauty.
Yes, i get a rush from experimenting. Typically, I do small spontaneous shoots while i am waiting for my other art projects to dry.
Growing up I was an awkward ginger kid and I never felt like i fit in. Pretty quickly i developed a thick skin from being the receiver of incessant bullying. I decided instead of trying to make myself fit other people's views of what was acceptable that I was going to do the opposite and push on in my own direction.
When i first started applying makeup as a preteen i usually only applied makeup to transform myself and i hardly used it for the sake of beautification. I felt ugly and that no degree of normal makeup would ever make me pretty. Transforming myself seemed to be a temporary way to rid myself from my insecurities.
During this time I went to restrictive Catholic school and I got in a lot of trouble with the administration over my avant-garde looks. Several rules were added to the student handbook , i was sent home because of my outlandish style, and the worst was having the brutal assistant principal forcibly scrub my makeup off of my face. One of my teachers said one day she will be a fashion designer.

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Children's Museum:
We live in the burbs outside Chicago, and our kids love coming here. Our oldest (10) always thinks he is too old, but then gets here and has a fabulous time. This place is all about kids DOING stuff, jumping, playing, building, making art. Bring extra clothes if they like to play in the fun waterway area - our kids always get soaked! My five year old naps in the car on the way home, every time.

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Children's Museum:
This attraction is best for kids 10 & under (and that may be pushing it). My son was 9 and had a good time there but there were quite a few exhibits that were on the juvenile side so he didn't participate in them. He really enjoyed the water world area and the structure construction area. It was nice to visit a place where kids can touch things and not worry about damaging anything.

Swords, Sorcery and Subversions: Noelle Stevenson's 'Nimona'
Noelle Stevenson's Nimona is not your typical fantasy comic heroine. I say that not because of her style, which includes a partially shaved head, with dyed hair and piercings; and not because of the way she dresses, which is in practical chain mail and leather adventuring gear; and not because of her build, which is short and stocky, in sharp contrast to the tall willowy male characters.
No, Nimona is not your typical fantasy comic heroine because Nimona is not a hero period. She's a villain.
At least, that's what she keeps telling the reader, and herself, and anyone who will listen in Stevenson's Nimona, the Lumberjanes co-creator's webcomic, which has recently been collected and published as an extremely charming, remarkably cerebral graphic novel.

'The Simpsons' - 'To Surveil With Love' Recap
I never expected the rest of the episode to live up to that killer opening, but, unbelievably, it just got better as it went along.
The bit that had me laughing the hardest: After surveillance cameras are installed in every inch of Springfield, Bart marking the town's one blind spot by dropping his pants and drawing a line every time he doesn't hear Ned gasping, "Buttocks!" "Tushie! or "Boy cheeks!" A perfectly funny bit that got even funnier when Homer asks Bart, whose pants are still down around his ankles, what he's doing. "Experimenting with my butt," says Bart. "My little Einstein," Homer says proudly as he pats Bart's head.
'The Simpsons' - 'The Greatest Story Ever D'Ohed' Recap
Everything from Sacha Baron Cohen's aggressive tour guide to the jokes and the storyline in general didn't work this week. I'm not sure if it's because the writer, Kevin Curran, was trying too hard not to offend Muslims, Jews or Christians, but he wound up wringing every bit of humor out of the episode.
Normally, at least one or two jokes can hit, even in a bad episode of 'The Simpsons,' but this one actually got painful to continue sitting through.
Vote for your favorite Simpsons character
Now that Shrek-mania, Spider-mania, Pirates-mania, Transformers-mania, Rat-mania, Potter-mania and Evan Almighty-mania have come and gone this summer it's time for Simpsons-mania to rev itself up in anticipation of The Simpsons theatrical release at the end of this month. What better way to get into the swing of things than to vote for your favorite Simpsons character.
That's easily done, courtesy of The Chicago Tribune's Redeye website. The first round of voting featured sixteen match-ups. Among those competing were Homer versus Selma and Patty, Marge versus Fat Tony, and Bart versus Principal Skinner. The best match-up, according to the website, was Comic Book Guy versus Apu. Out of nearly 10,000 responses Apu beat C.B.G. with 62% of the vote.

New Year's resolutions from The Simpsons
So, why make resolutions at all? Theoretically, because we keep hoping that we can become the best possible versions of ourselves. And, what exactly would be the best possible version of the Simpsons? Lucky for you, Fox has the answer. In an odd, brief press release promoting the January 7th return of the show, Fox listed the adult Springfieldians' 2007 resolutions. You can check them out after the jump. Perhaps, they'll inspire you to turn over a new leaf this holiday season.
Harry Shearer not happy about Seymour Skinner
Quick but good Q and A with Harry Shearer over at The Boston Globe. Shearer, the voice of Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders, and others on The Simpsons, talks about his many years on the show, how they film the episodes, and even gets a little bit into the mistakes some of the writers have made to the characters over the years, stuff that he has spoken out about. He cites two examples: one from this season, where Ned Flanders tried to get creationism taught in the schools and there was a joke about the name Jesus Christ that Shearer felt Ned Flanders would never say, and the whole "Seymour Skinner isn't really Seymour Skinner" plotline. He thinks it was a horrible mistake that even the writers don't want to talk about now.
Shearer can be seen in the new movie For Your Consideration, and has a new book out, Not Enough Indians, a comic novel about how a depressed town tries to become an Indian reservation so they can open up a casino.
The Simpsons: The Monkey Suit
Ned: We want you to teach alternative theories to Darwinian evolution.
Skinner: You mean Lamarckian evolution?
Last night The Simpsons took on creationism versus evolution, pitting Lisa against the rest of the town. This isn't the first time the show has tackled the issue of science and religion, most notably in the "Lisa the Skeptic" episode in which the supposed skeleton of a dead angel is found. Last night's episode had some good moments, but it did feel like they were treading upon somewhat familiar ground and not saying anything especially new.

« Flooring crafted brand building needs a step by step
Recent industry some voices saying flooring industry "brand war" has been "Service of the war" to replace, in my opinion, "brand war" not only did not end and will always continue, as long as the market is still the battle will not end, it has rushed for the domestic market to international ambitions flooring business must be good brand management. outdoor composite floor
Flooring crafted brand building needs a step by step
Speaking of brand management, a lot of thought is that a lot of entrepreneurs, floor advertising, and advertising in particular, CCTV's advertising, on the floor of the domestic enterprises, and now overwhelmed, resulting in many flooring companies understanding of the brand is just smoke and mirrors , difficult to understand its essence.
China accounted for flooring business for the absolute number of SMEs, the brand now has become the biggest bottleneck in its development, if the brand is certainly not a dead end, so the brand is also money to a dead end. So, faced with such an embarrassing situation, Chinese enterprises how should a correct view of the floor in the development of branding? How to use existing strengths to build their own position advantage? Cheap composite deck board
Step one: seize the hearts of consumers consolidate leadership
Flooring business successful first step is to create a brand in the minds of consumers to find a way to create a new product category. Then this class is to continue to reinforce in the minds of consumers in the dominant position, which is constantly going through the transmission of information to enhance cognition, make every effort to make each a target audience know that you are a leader in the industry, or category.
Of course, this is a long, uninterrupted repetition strategy, even if, like household goods giant Procter & Gamble has established leading brand companies, but also continued to use its massive advertising and PR means emphasizing himself in the category of leadership. Because consumers are a mobile group of new consumers will continue to enter, and they usually do not know who is the pioneer of the category, who is the first brand in the market, if you ignore it, it will allow Later, competitors take advantage of. Many cases a good proof of that.
We can easily imagine some of the simple ideas spread, such as "national sales for eight consecutive years ahead," "a certain market leading brand," these slogans spread than the "big ideas" effect is more significant. Domestic well-known brand Bosideng down jacket advertising strategy is the "national sales for 11 consecutive years ahead," Wrigley's communication strategy when entering China is "U.S. sales of the first."
Considerable number of enterprises see the trees but not the forest, they think the focus of advocacy should focus on product features or performance. In fact, the logic of consumer and business logic is just the opposite, companies will often say "good products, is king"; while the consumer logic is "we think that a good product is a good product."
Step two: real-time monitoring competitors threshold setting brand communications
Competition in the market is a long-term, dynamic, evolving process, once a product category flooring business good development momentum, the new competitors will enter, and will more and more, any one industry like this. So, you want to ensure that the competitive position of their own brands, companies need to keep up with the competition floor beat, push yourself forward faster.
New product category into the consumer's mind takes time, and time is the leading brand will stand aside. As a leading brand in the flooring business, maintain its brand in a competitive way is to learn to monitor competitors, while the development of brand communication industry, the threshold is set, as far as possible to block each other.
Industry brands like second or third leading brand in between yourself and find a clear distinction is almost impossible to locate, such as Founder notebook computers, even found some physical differences, leading brands will soon copy, means eliminate the exclusive copy concept. This is the concept of block, it is suitable for every leading brand.
The Chinese are creating a brand for flooring companies, advertising is not a powerful tool, but in the maintenance phase of the brand, advertising can increase competition threshold, to establish strategic value. Such as Procter & Gamble is the year to use its powerful advertising advantage raise competition threshold and, therefore, the achievements of the world's biggest advertisers in the world, CCTV advertising standard king years illustrates this point well. Ad delivery has led to huge rival Procter & Gamble and stop looking.
Step three: From start to expand the brand category deepen brand awareness
As flooring companies, on behalf of the brand category once entrenched consumer mind down, then you should focus on to promote the brand category rather than brand. VISA is a good example worthy to be concerned, because it created the successful "payment" category and become an entrenched financial brand. And our domestic cold acid Ling toothpaste and blue sky six will rule toothpaste brand has always been difficult to break through the bottleneck, sales always teetering on the brink. For example, cold acid problem is not in the spirit of the brand, but rather out in the category. Allergy is a technical term, and eat all you want, hot and sour such a general concept put together can not strengthen customer awareness. Cold acid Ling teeth at least find a way to emphasize the specific allergy symptoms, in such a way to continue to guide customers. Right now, the spirit can not withstand the cold acid and other brand sales Crest temptation to imitate began walking route, and launched a similar Icy toothpaste, is simply ridiculous.
Category expansion strategy is the introduction of the next point competitors. The use of competitors to jointly develop the market, consumer education, otherwise difficult to form a large category market climate. The introduction of rivals, companies must learn to strengthen the internal competition, that is, when their certain brand dominated the market, the timely introduction of a second brand, create new market opportunities for points, which is the best choice for leading brands . Such as to produce a lot of Bosideng's second brand of down jacket, and snow flying, Compro, Bengen other second-tier brands have also been ranked the forefront of industry sales.
Step four: to strengthen brand positioning to enhance customer awareness
Positioning the role of any one want to build brand enterprises are not new, its role is constantly looking for the category of the best in the market space and optimal customer perception, in this sense, is the same category , but positioning it takes timely adjustments and changes. Positioned in a certain period can be kept relatively stable, but with the category of development, it has to upgrade at different stages, in order to seek greater market space. Currently popular concept of environmental protection, flooring companies can start from the original ecological and environmental protection for brand positioning.
Step Five: Creating Brand Communication Process Management
A flooring company's brand in the category has been dominant in consumer groups have begun to firm, you can be understood as the brand image initially built. At this stage, flooring companies need professional brand image through the system view and to design and regulate, establish systematic dissemination processes to ensure the brand's core proposition in any period can be promptly delivered.
Finally to emphasize that the real brand management brand in the category needs to occupy the absolute dominance of corporate objectives and keep the brand focused and dedicated information dissemination, always pay attention to strengthening the customer's perception. Composite floor

Rockstar has heard the pleas of its fans and assures players that the development team is hard at work on solutions to all of the issues that have cropped up so far. In the meantime, the company offers an update on the current status of the game's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 incarnations:
- For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem was resolved.
- There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and we are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.
- This morning, we experienced some instability across the GTA Online services which is affecting even people who have progressed beyond the tutorial mission. We are identifying these issues now and are working to restore stability for users as soon as possible.
- For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.
In addition, Rockstar has also launched a support page specifically for GTA Online. If none of the solutions listed work for you, your troubles may stem from the crush of traffic caused by millions of players simultaneously attempting to join the GTA Online servers. In that case, the only solution is to wait patiently until either Rockstar improves its servers, or the giddy appeal of a new Grand Theft Auto sequel wears thin.

A decubitus ulcer, also called a pressure sore or bed sore, is an open wound on your skin. Pressure sores often occur on the skin covering bony areas. The most common places for a pressure sore to appear includes your hips, back, ankles, and buttocks.
It is common among the elderly, disabled, and other people who spend long periods in bed or a wheelchair, or cannot move certain body parts without help. Decubitus ulcers are also prone to those with fragile skin. The condition is highly treatable and recovery is good with proper diagnosis.
Stages of Decubitus Ulcers
Decubitus ulcers occur in stages. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel developed a staging process to help your practitioner diagnose and treat pressure sores.
Stage 1
The skin is unbroken, but shows discoloration. If you have a light complexion, the area may appear red. If you have a dark complexion, the discoloration may vary from bluish to purple, or it may appear whitish.
Stage 2
The skin is open and shows signs of some tissue death around the wound. The ulcer is shallow or not too deep.
Stage 3
The ulcer is much deeper within the skin's tissue (affecting the fat layers) and has the appearance of a crater. A pus-like substance may be present in the sore as well.
Stage 4
This stage affects multiples layers of tissue, including muscle and bone. A dark substance called eschar may be present inside the sore.
The ulcer may have a yellow, brown, or green scab covering it. The damage to the tissue layers is extensive and requires removal.
What Causes a Decubitus Ulcer?
One of the main reasons for a decubitus ulcer to appear on your skin is undue pressure. Lying on a certain area for long periods may cause the skin to break down. Your skin is thinner in places next to bone or cartilage, and your hips, heels, and tailbone are especially vulnerable to pressure sores.
Other causes include the following:
You create friction when you scrape or rub your skin against a hard or rough surface. Friction burns on the skin may damage the epidermis (the outermost layer of cells in your skin).
Urine and Feces
Wearing soiled clothing or undergarments for long periods may create open sores on the skin. This may irritate the delicate outer skin layer.
Who is at Risk for a Decubitus Ulcer?
If you cannot move or change positions by yourself while lying in bed or sitting in a wheelchair, you may be at risk for a pressure ulcer.
Other factors to consider include:
If you are an older adult, your skin may be more fragile and delicate than someone younger.
Poor Nutrition
Poor eating habits or not getting enough nutrients in your diet may influence the condition of your skin. This also includes not drinking enough water to keep your skin hydrated and to prevent dryness.
Medical Problems
Conditions like diabetes may restrict your blood circulation, which may cause tissue destruction in your skin.
What are the Symptoms of a Decubitus Ulcer?
A decubitus ulcer's symptoms are based on the stage it falls under. Your healthcare provider may look for any of the following:
- discoloration in the skin
- pain in the affected area
- infection
- open skin
- skin that does not lighten to the touch
- skin may be softer or firmer than the surrounding skin
Diagnosing a Decubitus Ulcer
Your regular doctor may refer you to a wound care team of doctors, specialists and nurses experienced in treating pressure sores. The team may evaluate your ulcer based on several important aspects. These include:
- The size and depth of the ulcer.
- The type of tissue (skin, muscle, and/or bone) directly affected by the ulcer.
- The color of the skin affected by the ulcer.
- The amount of tissue death that occurs from the ulcer.
- The condition of the ulcer (such as infection, foul odor, and bleeding).
Your physician also may take samples of the fluids and tissue found within the pressure sore. In addition, he or she may look for signs of bacteria growth and cancer.
Treating a Decubitus Ulcer
Treatment involves first properly staging your condition and then developing a wound care plan. This includes medications, therapies, and even surgery to treat pressure sores (or any type of wound).
Antibacterial drugs may be used to treat infection. Pain medication to relieve or reduce any discomfort experienced in your condition also may be prescribed.
Debridement, a process meant to remove dead tissue, may be used to clean your wound.
Other Therapies
Keeping the site clean and free of debris is important to promote healing. Your doctor may order frequent dressing changes of your wound.
What is the Long-Term Outlook?
Your decubitus ulcer's healing process depends on its stage. If your physician diagnoses your condition in the first or second stages, you have a higher chance for recovery. He or she may change your diet and increase your fluid intake to help you recover faster. Higher stages often require more aggressive treatments and longer recovery time.

How to Make a Chocolate Bar
Chocolate lovers may savor the taste of a good chocolate bar, but if you have ever had a low quality one, it may have been tasteless or had an unappealing texture. Skip the store bought versions the next time you have a chocolate craving and try making your own, exactly as you like it. You don't have to be a chocolatier to make a chocolate bar at home for a decadent indulgence. Keep it to enjoy yourself, or make extras to serve at parties or give to friends and family as gifts.
1Purchase high-quality, candy-making chocolate which has been tempered so it will set up to a smooth, solid finish. Look for this type of chocolate, which is usually available in blocks, larger chips or bars, at gourmet foods or specialty stores.Ad
2Prepare the mold and chocolate. Spray inside the mold lightly with cooking spray. Blot the mold gently with a towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. Make sure your mold is dry and on a level surface. Cut or break the chocolate into uniform chunks so that it will melt evenly.
3Melt about 5 oz. (142 g) of chocolate for each bar that you want to make. Place the chocolate in a double boiler on low heat, or melt in a bowl the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between. Stir almost constantly once the chocolate begins to melt. Remove from heat when chocolate is almost fully melted. Continue to stir until completely smooth.
4Place nuts, dried fruits, crushed mints, shredded coconut, or candies, if desired, inside the mold. Leave enough room to pour in the melted chocolate.
5Pour the melted chocolate into the mold and fill to the top. If you pour too much, scrape a knife evenly across the surface to remove excess chocolate. Tap the mold carefully on the working surface a few times to release any air bubbles that will blemish the surface of the bar.
6Let the bar set up. Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until solid. You can put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes to solidify it faster.
7Remove the chocolate bar from the mold. Flip the mold over and gently press; the chocolate bar should immediately release and seem very firm. Do not force the bar out of the mold, or it may crack. Put it back in the refrigerator or freezer for a few more minutes until set, if needed. Do not touch the bar excessively or you will leave fingerprints on the chocolate.
8Wrap the homemade chocolate bar, if desired.
- Cut out a piece of waxed paper double the size of the bar. Fold over the bar, with the waxier side touching the chocolate.
- Tear a sheet of plastic wrap that is twice the size of the bar. Wrap around the chocolate gently to cover the entire bar.
- Decorate by cutting a piece of craft paper, or another sturdy type of paper, into a sheet that is approximately 3/4 the size of the bar. Fold it over the bar, center it and tape the underside to secure.
9Personalize the chocolate candy bar for special occasions.
- Print out customized labels on your computer if you would like to add a specific name or theme.
10Store the chocolate candy bar in a sealable baggie or in an airtight container until ready to serve or present. Keep in a cool, dark place. Consume within a few weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Place a cookie sheet under chocolate bar molds if you are using more than 1 mold, since this will make transferring them to the refrigerator or freezer easier.
- Re-melt chocolate and pour again if you accidentally break a bar or do not like your results.
Things You'll Need
- 5 oz. (142 g) per bar of milk, dark or white candy making chocolate
- Chocolate candy bar mold
- Knife
- Double boiler or bowl
- Spoon
- Candy bar fillings
- Baggie or airtight container
- Scissors
- Waxed paper
- Plastic wrap
- Craft paper, or another sturdy type of paper
- Tape

It starts out in the usual way. The Israelites do evil in the sight of the Lord (6:1a); God forces the Israelites to be slaves (6:1b);
the Israelites cry out to God (6:7); God kills the guys he delivered them to (7:22). (The Midianites this time around.
See Judges 2:14, 3:8, and
8:6 for other versions of the same story.)
(6:1) "The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and
the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years."
(6:7) "The children of Israel cried unto the LORD."
(6:11) "There came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak."
(6:12) "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD
is with thee, thou mighty man of valour."
(6:14-16) And then God joins in the conversation with Gideon and the angel, promising to help Gideon kill all the Midianites.
(6:14) "The LORD ... said ... thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?"
(6:15) "And he said ... wherewith shall I save Israel?"
(6:16) "The LORD said ... I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man."
(6:17) "Shew me a sign."
So Gideon has a three-way conversation with the angel and God, but he doesn't believe either of them. He demands a sign.
(6:20) "The angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened
cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth."
(6:21) "The angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff ... and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes;
and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes."
(6:25) "The LORD said unto him ... throw down the altar of Baal ... and cut down the grove."
(6:28b) "The second bullock was offered upon the altar."
(6:36-40) Then after sacrificing some animals for God, vandalizing his neighbors' places of worship, and blowing a trumpet, Gideon asks for some (more) signs to convince him that God isn't lying to
him. (The burning flesh sign in 6:20-21 didn't satisfy him.) So he puts down some wool on the ground and asks God to make it wet, while keeping the
surrounding ground dry. And God does it, no sweat. But Gideon is still not sure he can trust
God, so he asks him to reverse the trick, and make the ground wet and the wool dry. "And God
did so ..." Gideon must have been impressed by a God that could do such great things.
Is it OK to test (or tempt) God?
(6:36-17) "And Gideon said unto God ... I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside,
then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said."
(6:38) "And it was so."
(6:39) "And Gideon said unto God ... let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew."
(6:40) "And God did so."

Villanova University is committeed to providing faculty with the resources needed to develop their research. There are currently two internal awards available through the Office of Research Administration. Please visit these pages to get more information about these programs, including due dates, past recipients, and the latest call for proposals:
Summer Research Fellowship and Research Support Grant
Summer Research Fellowship and Research Support Grant programs provide faculty with the opportunity to enhance scholarly research and to build collaborative programs with other faculty and with students. They are intended to support initial or ongoing phases of scholarly and curricular development research that will lead to the submission of proposals for research support from external funding sources. The Summer Research Fellowship (SRF) program provides support for summer salaries and non-faculty salary items. Research Support Grants may be used only for expenses other than faculty salaries.
VERITAS Faculty Research Award
VERITAS Faculty Research Award supports scholarly research that takes inspiration from and/or reflects the values of Villanova University's Catholic and Augustinian heritage. The program is administered jointly by the Office of Research and Graduate Programs and the Office of Mission and Ministry. The purpose of the program is to encourage faculty to bring to bear on their research a perspective that reflects Villanova's concern for religious values, the Catholic intellectual tradition, Catholic social thought, and/or the Augustinian heritage of encouraging dialogue between religious faith and contemporary life.
Among the examples of research projects that might find support would be issues of war and peace; issues of social justice; empirical investigations of the influence of religion on social, political, or economic behavior, or vice versa; the interaction between religion, science, and technology; government, business, or other private and public sector practices and policies that affect, or could be affected by, religious faith and practice; and the application of Catholic Social Thought to contemporary public policy issues. These examples are meant only to be suggestive of the types of inquiries that can be pursued; others surely may be possible.

(Oct 06, 2008) On September 29, 2008, a court of appeal in Bordeaux, France, confirmed a June 2007 ruling ordering Omar Bongo, the President of Gabon, to return €457,347 (about US$654,000) to the son of a French company director. This ruling is enforceable even if a further appeal is initiated.
The company director, Rene Cardona, was imprisoned in 1996, in Libreville, Gabon, following a dispute with Bongo over the sale of an arms and fishing company. In order to secure his release, Cardona's son had paid the amount in question into Bongo's personal banking account.

X (エックス Ekkusu?) is an early three-dimensional first-person shooter-type video game software released for the Game Boy only in Japan on May 29, 1992. The game was developed by Nintendo EAD alongside Argonaut Software (who later became known for assisting Nintendo EAD in programming the original Star Fox title for the Super NES) and was published by Nintendo.
X was followed by an internationally released DSiWare exclusive sequel, X-Scape.
The game was influenced by Starglider and Starglider 2 and was originally slated to be published by Mindscape as Eclipse or Lunar Chase, but Nintendo took over the project after becoming interested in the concept of having three-dimensional graphics on the Game Boy. Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi renamed the game X shortly before its release. The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu listed X as one of the four most influential Game Boy games ever created, as it was the first 3D game released for a portable system in Japan.
The chief programmer and designer, Dylan Cuthbert, now runs Q-Games, a small games developer in Kyoto, Japan.[2] The director of the project on the Nintendo side was Yoshio Sakamoto, who also started the Metroid series.
In the space age year XXXX, overpopulation on the Earth is forcing humans to search for a new home in outer space. Planet Tetamus II is discovered to have an environment similar to earth, and mining of the planet's high-energy "Power Crystal" mineral leads to the construction of the "Nuclear Silo" designed to convert this mineral into energy. The future seemed bright for the human race, until an emergency message from Tetamus II reported that a cargo ship loaded with power crystals had been shot down by an army of alien starships. The aliens intend to use the planet as a base for conquering the rest of the universe, and the space tank "VIXIV" is sent out to destroy the alien forces.
The game takes place in a wire frame 3D view. The player controls the VIXIV to complete various missions assigned by the Training Academy Coach. Objectives can range from destroying enemy targets, escorting cargo, or defending bases. A short break is provided after the completion of each mission, and the player is awarded a number of stars based on their skill in each level. 10 small stars equal one regular star, and a certain number of stars are needed to continue the game after failing a mission. The game is completed by finishing all ten missions.
Pressing the A button shoots a laser beam, which is the most basic form of attack in the game. The beam is shot towards the crosshairs at the center of the screen when no targets are present. When a target is within a reasonable distance, an aiming cursor appears, and the beam will always hit the target indicated by this cursor. Most objects can be destroyed with a few laser shots, but objects that emit a metallic sound when hit cannot be destroyed with the laser. Pressing the B button uses the more powerful weapon equipped at the radar base.
Enemies and objects will sometimes leave behind a powerup or item when destroyed. These are automatically picked up by the tank's tractor beam when the player moves nearby. The specific target needed to complete the mission can be located with the finder. This is a white arrow that appears at the bottom of the screen, and moving forward with this arrow at the center will always lead the player to the specific target.
The grid on the lower right hand corner is a simplified map of the entire level. The map shows the player's current grid location, previously visited areas, and radar base locations. In certain missions, some parts of the grid will flash to indicate the location of nuclear silos or radar bases that are under attack. The planet Tetamus 2 consists of a rectangular map, divided into 8 areas, which are useful for tracking down specific enemies or buildings. If a player moves across an edge of the map, the tank will emerge from the opposite side of the rectangle. Pressing the START button will pause the game, and show a more detailed map of the planet.
The map contains four entrances to underground tunnels which can be used to move between areas without having to encounter enemies. If the mission has a time limit, the clock stops while the player is moving through any of these tunnels. However, hitting a tunnel wall will damage the tank's shield. The player can still move forward will hitting tunnel walls, but running into a chain link fence will cause damage and force the tank backwards, so a certain amount of caution is needed while proceeding through. Speed cannot be increased or decreased in the regular control scheme while traveling underground, but grinding the tank against the ceiling will cause a slight decrease in velocity, while grinding it against the floor will cause a slight increase in velocity.
The VIXIV also has flight capabilities. Lifting off one of the pyramid-shaped objects at TURBO speed will send the tank into the air. Speed cannot be adjusted while the tank is in the air, and flying requires fuel. Some of the field objects located at ground level will fade away from view while the tank is in flight.
The controls for the game are highly sophisticated and difficult to master, so a training mode is provided to familiarize the player with the controls. The training mode devotes a mission to each basic skill, and is so extensive that the player will have naturally learned the controls upon completion of all of the training missions. This allows the player to learn the basic controls quickly and efficiently without having to use the instruction manual. The actual game cannot be played without completing this training mode first. If the player has previously completed every training mission, an option is given to proceed directly into the actual game or review the basics in the training mode.
- Totaka's Song can be found in the game code. This makes it the earliest known appearance of it in a Nintendo game, as X was the first game composed by Kazumi Totaka for Nintendo. It has been discovered that you can hear the song as a normal player at the "Thank you..." screen with a fake scientist.[3]
- The background music written by Kazumi Totaka, was played in the very first tunnel scene and was added to Club Nintendo Japan's Luigi - B-Side Music album.
- An arranged version of the very first tunnel music heard in X is featured in the Wii title, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, arranged by Yusuke Takahama, as well as the Wii U title Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.[4]

Concert goers and home viewers alike will be able to text a key word pertaining to one of six areas of their lives in which they want to make a change (home, job, shop, ride, share, and lead) to 82004. In return they will receive a message back confirming their commitment, and giving them a solution to apply to their daily lives, such as replacing traditional light bulbs with more energy efficient compact fluorescents, or leaving the car at home and biking to work. A second message will invite people to publicly join in the movement by responding with their first name, last initial and city which will then be posted on screens at the various concert venues through a VeriSign-enabled text2screen feature. TV broadcasts and online event streams on MSN.com will also incorporate text pledges, and the names of people who participate will be listed on liveearth.org after the concerts end.

Kentucky Burgoo
- 1 whole chicken breast (2 halves)
- 1 chicken thigh
- 1 chicken liver
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) cold water
- 1/2 pound dried Great Northern beans, washed, sorted, and soaked overnight in 2 cups cold water
- 2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
- 4 cups (1 quart) canned tomatoes (preferably home- canned), with their liquid
- 4 cups (1 quart) canned whole-kernel corn (preferably home-canned), well drained
- 4 cups (1 quart) canned green peas (preferably home-canned), well drained
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1. Place the chicken breast, thigh, and liver, the pork, and the cold water in a heavy, nonreactive 4-gallon kettle; set over moderately high heat and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the water bubbles gently, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove and refrigerate all pieces of chicken. Cover the kettle again and simmer the pork about 1 1/2 hours longer or until very tender.
2. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, cut the meat into 1-inch chunks, then pulse quickly in a food processor until the texture of coarsely ground meat (in the old days, the chicken was fed through a meat grinder). When the pork is tender, cut into 1-inch chunks, then pulse just as you did the chicken. Also pulse the chicken liver.
3. Return the chicken, liver, and pork to the kettle, add the beans and their soaking water, the onions, tomatoes and their liquid, the corn, and peas. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
4. Add the salt, pepper, and butter, reduce the heat to its lowest point, and simmer the burgoo uncovered for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally, or until as thick as chili. Note: If at any time the burgoo threatens to stick to the bottom of the kettle, slide a heat diffuser underneath.
5. Taste the burgoo for salt and pepper, adjust as needed, then ladle into heated soup bowls.

Do you love dark greens as much as I do?
I think I could eat them for every meal and be happy. Kale, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Beet Greens, etc. I love them all.
My grandpa grew beets growing up and what I remember most isn't the actual beets. It was eating the dark, leafy greens and the purple-y ribs. My mom would steam them and they were delicious.
I know a lot of people throw away the greens on top of their beets- The Horror! Don't do it! They are soo delicious.
I found some beautiful rainbow chard, as well as red and golden beets. I was so excited to saute them for dinner!
When I cook swiss chard and beet greens I always cook the ribs and stems. They become quite tender and are very tasty.
Plus, how can you not like eating something that tastes good and looks so beautiful?
I also use this techique to saute spinach, but I don't cover it because it wilts very quickly.
I saute kale too, but always remove the kale from the stems.
Sauteed Rainbow Chard and Beet Greens by Mary Ann
1 Tbls olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch Rainbow Chard, rinsed well and chopped- including stems and ribs
a couple bunches Beet Greens, rinsed and chopped-including stems and ribs
chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in large saute pan or electric frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook for a few minutes.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
When onion and garlic are translucent, add your greens and stems.
Using tongs, toss the greens with the onions and garlic, until nicely mixed.
Add enough chicken broth to cover bottom of the pan and cover.
Reduce heat to medium and let greens cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir and check to see if stems and ribs are tender and greens are wilted.
If not, cook a little longer and check every few minutes until ready.
Make sure you do not over cook.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Details of Gulval 250-home plan to be revealed
Posted: February 19, 2014|
GULVAL residents are set to find out more about a proposed 250-home development on a prime site between the village and Penzance.
Developer Terrace Hill is holding an initial consultation event in Gulval later this month to discuss proposals to provide up to 250 new homes and community infrastructure on land at Ponsandane Farm, to the west of the village.
The site, Gulval West, is identified in Cornwall Council's emerging Local Plan as being suitable for the provision of a small part of the authority's overall commitment to providing 47,500 new homes across the county.
A council discussion paper on potential sites for housing states that the Gulval West site "offers the greatest opportunity to provide enhanced community facilities for the wider Gulval area".
Company spokesman Adam Pratt said: "We are keen to speak to local people to seek their input into the design process.
"We want to understand their aspirations for the facilities the village needs, as well as the types of houses local people want.
"That is why we are holding this initial consultation which will be the first part of an continuing dialogue with our neighbours."
The public consultation will take place at Gulval Village Hall on Monday, February 24, from 3pm to 7pm, when members of the public can meet representatives of Terrace Hill. Prior to that, villagers are holding their own meeting on Monday, February 17.
Speaking of Terrace Hill's plans for Gulval West, Mr Pratt said: "We are very much aware of the site's sensitivity, and landscaping will form an important driver in our emerging masterplan.
"It is our aspiration to design a high-quality village extension with a distinctive Cornish appearance and extensive areas of public open space.
"We will also be exploring opportunities to improve the local road network."
Residents can contact email@example.com to find out more about the consultation event, or visit www.gulvalwest.com

Why do I say this?
He is already considered to be a top tier safety in the league (debatable), and has had to play his entire career around, well to put it kindly, crap. Gregory, Chung, Arrington (on the outside), Meriweather, Butler, Sterling Moore, Cole to name some.
Now, the defensive backfield is loaded with talent. Revis, Browner, Dennard (in the slot where he will excel), Ryan, Arrington.
Before this McCourty had to cover overtop of average CBs and couldnt free lance and make plays on the ball.
Now, Revis shuts down half of the field. Browner when on a good matchup can shut down his side. Dennard can hold his own in the slot. That leaves a lot less responsibility for DMC and now he can go out and take more risks imo and we could see a lot more impact plays from him and he will get the national attention he deserves.
Big season for him IMO.

There were reasons to celebrate at the Jacob Green Charity Golf Classic on Friday, and that was before the fivesomes teed off at the Golf Course at Redmond Ridge to raise money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
First, it was Michael Jackson's birthday. Jackson was a run-'em-down, knock-'em-down linebacker who led the Seahawks in tackles for three consecutive seasons (1980-82).
"I turned 54 this morning, so I'm already having a good day," Jackson said.
The former University of Washington star was one of the celebrities who joined foursomes for the event. Others included former Cy Young winner and MVP Vida Blue, legendary Sonics point guards Gus Williams and Slick Watts and former Mariners second baseman Julio Cruz, as well as a collection of former and current Seahawks – Kenny Easley, Edwin Bailey, Paul Skansi, Randall Morris, Charle Young, Eric Stokes and, of course, Green; David Hawthorne, Brandon Mebane, Red Bryant, Cameron Morrah, Roy Lewis and Anthony McCoy.
The other bit of celebratory news is that the Green's extended family is getting another extension. Janelle, Jacob's daughter and Red Bryant's wife, is pregnant. And it's going to be a boy. Green and his wife, Janet, have three daughters – Janelle, Jessica and Jillian.
"It's our first grandchild, so we're all so excited," Janet said. "But Jacob is really excited."
