This fox is very well made. It has a smooth finish with no sharp edges. The paint has stayed on despite being mouthed and soaked in a vinegar solution after a very active play date where the fox was popular. I look forward to adding more of this companies toys to our toy box!

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon
The six-cylinder under the hood of this 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon-teardrop trailer combination for sale on Hemmings.com might be seen by some as a negative. But considering the intended purpose of such a combination – to travel the country and see all that it has to offer – we rather see it as a positive. After all, why not slow down and take your time a cross-country road trip? From the seller's description:
A 1962 Mercury Comet Station Wagon in excellent condition. But theres more! It also comes with a matching and "very cool" wood & stainless steel 1949 Tear Drop trailer that sleeps two.
Factory paint color Sea Blue, chrome and trim are excellent. Interior is black and white vinyl and in like-new condition. Wagon is a 6 cylinder 144ci with a 3 speed manual transmission on the tree, Power window on the tailgate. Odometer reads 26xxx miles. We can not verify the mileage as actual but based on the condition of every inch of this car, we believe that the mileage is accurate. A recent trophy winner – you won't be disappointed!
The engine runs perfectly in all respects. Overall, the car is impressive. The Tear Drop trailers frame and wheel covers were customized to match the exterior of the car. They look like they were made for each other but they obviously were not.
The Tear Drop has its own battery to power the interior. The exterior has its own compartment where hand made wood cabinets can be used for storage and a table top can hold anything from a portable cooktop, microwave or whatever you had in mind.

West Nile Virus Reported in Winnebago County
By NBC26 News Team. CREATED Jul 25, 2013
WINNEBAGO COUNTY - Winnebago County is on high alert after two dead crows tested positive for West Nile virus in Neenah.
The virus is spread to humans through a bite from infected mosquitoes. Winnebago County's health officer says this is the first confirmation of the virus since the county started testing in May.
"We have reported cases or probable or confirmed cases that occur within the state every year. Last year was a particularly busy year. There were about 57 cases of West Nile Virus reported," said Health Officer Doug Gieryn.
Health leaders say everyone should take extra precautions to avoid mosquito bites this summer. The illness can be fatal in older adults.

Velorex Rides Again
When you think of vehicles originating in the Czech Republic, or former Czechoslovakia, you probably think of Škoda. But if Škoda isn't esoteric enough for you, you may recall the fabric-bodied Velorex three-wheeler.
From the "Strange But True" files comes news of the rebirth of the Velorex. While original Velorexes were never imported to the U.S., some have made their way here, like the example in the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum in Madison, Georgia. The Velorex name is still related to motorcycles, as a line of sidecars is still available in America.

Redemption and Salvation - A Fulfilled Grace Perspective
By David Embury
We were… we are… we shall be saved [Rom 5:9-10; 8:24; 1Cor 15:2], and …lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh [Lk 21:28]. These expressions – 'redemption' and 'salvation' although indelibly linked and often appearing as interchangeable terms in Scripture, are not always saying the one or same thing, especially so when it comes to defining the contexts between that which is temporal and that which eternal. There are important and significant differences between the two, and some crossover of thought does occur where salvation or saved are used in the global sense – properly referring to 'redemption' as in reflecting the essence of Divine deliverance from sin [Mt 1:21; Lk 1:77]. "Redemption" however literally means to be bought back – this is what God has done in Christ; He paid a price in ransoming and reconciling the world back to himself [Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45; 1Tim 2:6]. "Salvation" in comparison, is to be brought into – an experience which those who through belief in God through Christ appropriated i.e., they enter into through faith.
To further clarify this distinction that can be between redemption and salvation, consider the following. Specifically, we see Paul defining these two aspects of God's work of grace:
Rom 5:10a For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son…
Christ's Cross – His death, reconciled-redeemed humanity en masse back to God [Isa 53:11].
Redemption enables us to find the Way of salvation, that being Christ alone – this is the work of divine grace, not our believing. If our believing could produce redemption then Jesus died in vain. Redemption however can produce belief; the working of repentance in turning mind and heart in thankfulness to God – thus bringing confidence before God and deliverance in life i.e., salvation of the soul, the inner man.
Rom 5:10b …much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Christ's Resurrection – His life, brought-brings salvation to those who will grasp it, individually.
Salvation, as just stated "of the inner man" on the other hand is the realisation, the revelation of mind and heart that knows I am loved and accepted by God – that knows all are loved and accepted by Him. The work then of salvation is that of assurance – the confidence in knowing that I have been restored unto favour with God – accepted in the Beloved [Eph 1:6]. This knowledge of acceptance or, assurance, is what multiplies grace and peace and works divine growth, grace and transformation [2Pt 1:2-4].
There is another aspect of salvation as found in the contextual setting of the New Testament that must also be acknowledged – that of the literal flight of the first-fruit saints out of Palestine before and during the Jewish-Roman wars; specifically culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem in their generation. The root meaning of the word "salvation" is to deliver – this in the "this generation" [Mt 24:34] time-frame, particularly the calamities of AD 66-70 had a very temporal outworking for those who heeded Christ's words to flee. Salvation then, is not always something that is restricted to the "spiritual" sphere of operation.
Having said that however; the covenantal overtones of being reconciled-redeemed means that, covenantally, there can be a personal salvation occurring in the heart of a believer that is working deliverance from toxic life patterns i.e., those things that work or occupy temporal pain in our lives:
Hang-ups [toxic thinking] Hurts [toxic emotions] Habits [toxic behaviour] – Head-Heart-Hands; one invariably follows the other in actions and consequences.
Again, it is the embracing of this assurance that grasps the reality of our redemption, our reconciliation, that works personal deliverance. Without Christ one cannot fully know the associated blessings of forgiveness – that does not mean we have not been forgiven, we have [Jn 1:29; 1Jn 2:2], it simply means that without Christ we cannot know it i.e., we cannot grasp the reality of our forgiveness. Peter indicates similar:
Act 10:43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins."
The word here translated "receive" means to grasp [labein – λαβειν], and is in the active voice – meaning that the subject [the believer, not God] produces the action – cf. Mt 21:34; Heb 10:26. In other words: believing or having faith in Christ enables one to grasp a hold of the actuality of forgiveness – to seize with certainty the remission of sins, i.e., coming into the reality of Christ's redeeming-reconciling work of "…not imputing their trespasses to them…" [2Cor 5:19b].
The apostle Luke further demonstrates the dual nature at of God's grace at work:
Lk 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation [deliverance] to His people by the remission of their sins [redemption]…
The end result of this is knowing peace with God. It becomes our heart's assurance that redemption is ours – the promise secure, and this is what "saves" the soul:
Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise [epangelia – επαγγελια = assurance] by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
1Jn 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Again, borrowing a couple of paragraphs from the article Fulfilled Grace: The Biblical term "salvation" is as broad an expression as one can find in relation to the ministration of God's grace; however the turn of phrase being saved or to be saved must be understood as being descriptive of the subject to which it is being applied. And as explained above, there are a number of different Biblical aspects of what it means to be saved. Pertaining to "redemption" everyone is saved [delivered from sin's offence] adjudged so by God i.e., reconciled. Likewise, just as humanity was not involved in the imputation of guilt through Adam's sin – adjudged so by God, so man was not involved with his redemption either – that was between God and Christ, man however was the recipient of it.
Thus there was established through the Cross of Christ a broad all encompassing unilateral and universal deliverance [Heb 9:26] – what we call salvation; it brought redemption to the whole world – collectively. This redemption in turn has the potential of bringing a personal deliverance – again, what we call salvation, to those of the world – individually. The once for all delivering work of Calvary, which brought this corporate redemption had and has nothing to do with man's personal belief system. However, the salvation that comes from this redemption is what is experienced in the life those who through personal faith in Christ embrace what Paul taught as – the renewing of the mind i.e., the saving of the soul. This, in the stance of the believer is the veracity of belief and confession, but does not change the status of humanity as being wholly, and in every respect before God and by His means alone, redeemed.
Just as the promise is there for all who will grasp it in faith [Act 10:43], there remains yet no less the promise to those who don't or won't – it is true however that in this life they will be less for not having apprehended it. Yet as the apostle Paul said:
Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all…
Gal 4:25-26 …for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children-- but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
The 'father of faith' and 'the mother of us all' extends to more than just the seed that acknowledge or confess their linage. The truth is, there are many who through lack of knowledge wander aimlessly [Prov 29:18] through life, bogged down in an identity crisis – it is this message of Gospel i.e., the revelation of God's righteousness [Rom 1:17] that will dispel and dismiss this veil of ignorance, for God is the loving father of us all [Psa 24:1; Act 17:29].
Rom 3:3-4a For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not!
Rom 11:32-33 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Playoff TV ratings plummet 26 percent
Around the Horn
Television ratings for baseball's division series declined from last year. The 15 games on TBS averaged a 2.8 rating, the network said Tuesday. That's down 26 percent from a 3.8 for 13 games in 2007.
The absence of the New York Yankees, with their large market and national appeal, hurt. Their four-game division series with Cleveland last year averaged a 5.2 rating. Last Thursday's Dodgers-Cubs game also went up against the much-watched vice presidential debate, hurting this year's ratings.
CARDINAL OFFICIAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION: Longtime St. Louis Cardinals official George Kissell was in critical condition Tuesday after being injured in a traffic accident in Pinellas Park. Kissell's daughter was driving her parents in a 2002 Chevrolet at about 7:45 p.m. Monday when she apparently ran a red light and was struck by another car, police Capt. Sanfield Forseth said.
The 88-year-old Kissell was in a Tampa hospital Tuesday with life-threatening injuries, police said. His daughter, Karolyn Kidwell, 58, was treated and released.
Kissell has been with the Cardinals organization since 1940. He was a major league coach from 1969 to 1975 and is currently a senior field coordinator for player development.
Kidwell hasn't been charged.

The Red Robin royalty club is great! They give you a free meal on your birthday, and lately they have been sending out random freebies with no purchase necessary, like milkshakes and desserts.
It's actually a free burger of your choice during the ENTIRE calendar month of your birthday; that way you can spread out your birthday offers and go when it's convenient to you. I got a burger (on my card) and a complimentary sundae for FREE, and my wife got a burger, and used her FREE dessert offer on her card (good through June 23).
If you already "belong" to Red Robin, you can't get the points?
Can you get coke points if you are already a red robin member?
did it. did phone call and all and did not get my points.
It might take a little while for the email to come.
Did you enter the code that Red Robin emailed you on the Coke Rewards site?
And right now it's only 50 points for a free McD's Quarter Pounder on the Coke Rewards site! I redeemed for two this morning :D
I tried to redeem for 2 but it said only one per account.
i got last week, and today got another one. yum
Did they deliver it to you?
I registered Red Robin. How do I get the coke rewards points?
I registered. How long does it take to get your coke points?
I signed up two days ago, got the phone call to verify the account, but I still haven't received the email with the 40-point code.
Me too Cindy. I'm wondering if this is a ploy from Red Robin to get our personal information? All these hoops to jump thru and no points. Ugh!
Don't mean to be a downer, but what a pain! Don't like to give out my mobile number, but went ahead with it anyway. Then when I tried to change immediately to a landline after my account was verified, it needs to RE-verify the account with the NEW number. Geesh. Hope the 40 points is worth it!
I keep getting a "Good news/Bad news" message that says the Royalty program isn't available in my area but I can still sign up for the bday program. Anyone have a working zip code I can use? Thanks!
23294 Richmond, VA
Thank you Suzy, none near me were working either.
does anyone know about the royalty program for the birthdays. i signed my account for the 40 points and my birthday is on the 20th. my bfs birthday is tmrw. does anyone know that if i sign him up today that we both can do it. or does it expire on a certain day,how many days after the birthdate. has anyone done 2 free birthday meals or whatever they do on the same visit?
Birthday entree is for the month your bday is in. You can do free birthdays if from same family. But I do believe you can only use one card at a time…. My son and I get our bday dinners together every year from RR.
Birthday meal is good for two weeks after they send u the coupon.I was told by a manager at one location that even if I didn't have the coupon, he would honor it by showing a driver's license as proof of bday.Call ur local restaurant and ask.
They don't send the coupons anymore. It's only on your Royalty card, good for the entire CALENDAR month of your birthday.
My bday was just last month and I got a coupon.So did my granny in april.If your local restaurant participates in the program then it goes to the card.No location within 100 miles for me that is participating.I'm sure it will change but for now that's how it is in my neck of the woods
Still haven't got coke points what taking so long
No location near me is participating :( but at least I get the birthday meal :)
Did ANYONE get these points? No luck on my end.
Still haven't received mine either
I think the whole points for coke was scam cuz haven't received any points
Thanks everyone for commenting about not getting your points. I think I'll skip this one because of that.
A whole day later and still no email for points.
I'm wondering if you should write a caveat at the top of this post since so many of your readers aren't getting their points. One day later and mine still have not posted.
still no email with points code for me either.
No email with points for me yet….2 days & counting
what 3 days now?? I sent an email to coke rewards so will see if anything comes of it
got my email with code this morning
3 days……..no 40 Pts. :(
jewl1983 I got my points! It took 4 days. You will get an e-mail saying, "WELCOME TO OUR ROYAL FAMILY…IMPORTANT DETAILS INSIDE" There will be a code inside. Don't forget to check SPAM BOXES.

I have the very top of the hat finished and have finished the very first
repeat of the cable. I love the way the cables are building. Make sure
you pay attention to the single crochets immediately preceding and
following the cable as it is really easy to accidentally increase or
decrease stitches here. As I finish stitching this week, I would love to
hear from some of you who have worked on this beautiful project. We can
help each other as we go. If you are looking for another project I
would suggest trying the Sólás Caomh (a beautifully cabled baby blanket)
from Spring 2009.

Yes, I'm thankful for my family, my dog, my job and all that blah blah...but what am I really jonesing for this Thanksgiving? Fabulous sweaters, ballet flats, funky scarves, cable-knit tights, knee high boots and layers of cozy goodness.
Cold weather trends are all about keeping warm but looking luxurious in lots of layers. Think: tights to cover your legs under a dress or skirt, knee high boots for added coverage, and a scarf can be worn with just about everything. Cardigans or jackets keep you extra warm under a heavy overcoat. Not only does the combination of the layers keep you warm, it adds interest to your ensamble. It's better than a plain sweater, jeans, and tennies (gag!).
Whatever your budget is, it's always good to think about pieces that will add interest to your wardrobe. If you have plenty of plain tops and sweaters, think about adding some scarves, vests, or cardigans. If you've got jeans out the wazoo then check out some belts to anchor your outfit and accentuate your figure. Get some embellished ballet flats, like the J Crew pair pictured, to keep your toesies covered and sparkling.
Speaking of sparkle. Broaches are a great way to add some flash, look classy and dress up a scarf or sweater. But don't be mistaken, stay away from Christmas themed "pins" which are definitely not fashionable. Stick with something fancier and vintage inspired like this Etsy broach.
Be careful not to overdo it with your layers, you don't want to look lost in your outfit! It's also easy to look like the clothes are wearing you, not the other way around.
Visit local boutiques like Clodhoppers, Peacock Boutique, Chartreuse, Apricot Lane and Les Filles Boutique for help pulling unique outfits together.

If you love the thought of being able to rent, stream, watch, and return movies or TV shows from the comfort of your own home (or simply walking to your mailbox to return a movie), you may be interested in signing up for a Netflix Membership. Currently, NEW members can sign up for a completely FREE 1-month trial of Netflix. The best part about this trial membership is that you can test it out for an entire month with no charges. AND if you sign up and find that you don't like Netflix, you can cancel the FREE 1-month trial in your account with no penalty and no charge whatsoever!
I personally LOVE Netflix as I feel that there are so many movie choices for our entire family to enjoy. My kids love streaming Netflix on their devices and I really enjoy the fact that I can plan ahead to have a movie date night with my hubby and have it shipped to my door! We just select movies or TV shows online, add them to our queue, wait for them to come in the mail (or even watch Instant Movies via the computer, Playstation 3, Wii console, or other devices for an additional monthly fee), drop them in my mailbox when we're done, and then wait for the next one(s) in our queue to arrive!

YAY! I love free rentals. Thanks.
How long did i take you to receive a reply text back?? I just sent mine and I haven't gotten it yet :/
Mary, Mine was a couple seconds after texting. Make sure GIANT is in all Caps. HTH
I got mine right away. Use ALL CAPS!
Awesome. I love Hulu Plus too. I recently switched to them because I got tired of Netflix. I had it for about 2 years and felt like I had watched everything I wanted to.
the reply states that shortcode may have expired
thank u!!
I got my code. Can I go online and reserve a certain movie at a kiosk and my husband pick it up after work or does the whole transaction have to be directly from the kiosk? Does anyone know? I've never used Redbox before.
You can't reserve movies with a code :(
You can reserve it online. The clock starts when you reserve it online – not when you pick it from the kiosk.
yes you can used a code online now it should be when you get to payment information
Thanks so much! I just rented "Battleship" for free! I really appreciate the code!
If anyone is going to try Netflix, do so through Swagbucks and get 1200 Swagbucks instantly which you can redeem for two $5 Amazon Gift card( 450 SB) or any other gift card in the store!!!
Darn, too many great shows on tonight
how to use this free code?
please some one teach me!
Go to the Redbox machine, put the movie that you want in your cart, and when you "checkout" (BEFORE you swipe your credit card), hit the "Promo Code" button and enter the code they send you. You'll still have to swipe your card (in case you keep it for more than a day), but as long as you return it by the due date tomorrow you won't be charged anything.
You are charged the tax i just went and redeemed it but it was only 32 cents lol ill take it
I live in Utah and am never charged tax on free rentals.
You're lucky lol Im in MA we love our taxes here

JOBY Press Release
JOBY Unveils Four New Colors of the GorillaPod Original Point-and-Shoot Camera Tripod
May 23, 2012, SAN FRANCISCO, CA: –JOBY is pleased to announce four new, exciting colors of its global bestseller, the GorillaPod Original. The world's first flexible camera tripod is a highly portable photography accessory that now comes in the fresh and appealing hues of lime green, fuchsia, sky blue and charcoal. Arriving in stores and online in time for summer travel, graduation, Father's Day and outdoor adventures, the four new hues are designed to enhance creative photo taking and photo sharing inspiration when paired with today's point-and-shoot cameras.
"Our research shows consumers are demanding fashion-forward colors and advanced features as part of their photo-taking experiences," said Laura Kawakami, JOBY brand and product marketing director. "The GorillaPod Original camera tripod is the must-have accessory to help push the limits of their photography and capture better photos."

The GorillaPod Original is specially designed to use with a wide variety of point-and-shoot cameras up to 11.5 ounces/325 grams in weight. With flexible, wrappable leg joints and rubber foot grips, you can secure your camera to any object to capture new perspectives and avoid blurry images. Ultra-lightweight and easy to stash, this flexible tripod makes a great travel companion to document favorite places, adventurous activities and spontaneous moments.
The new GorillaPod Original colors are available now for the same price as the rest of the line-up, $19.95. The full product line-up includes grey, yellow, green, blue, red, pink, orange, and new colors lime green, fuchsia, sky blue, and charcoal. All colors are available for purchase at Amazon.com and other popular photography, consumer electronics, outdoor and online stores.

Arylessence Report Defines 10 "Deep Trends"
Posted: April 21, 2009
page 2 of 2
Today's fusion of fragrance and food is defined by the trend Epicurean Art, which focuses on the beauty and artistry of fine foods, as well as artisan foods produced in small quantities by local farmers around the world.
New Trends in Product Packaging
American consumers continuously search for products that mirror their interests and emotions, according to Arylessence researchers. The new TrendWatch identifies eight major packaging themes and 142 product design and packaging innovations where marketers effectively align brands with powerful consumer passions, such as respect for the planet and protecting the environment.
"Sustainable packaging is a megatrend that is here and isn't going away," said Burns. "Every marketer now must think about paper, inks, plastic, glass and about recycling these costly packaging materials."

Act for Autism® at a Free Jigsaw Puzzle Making Event and Register Donation Program
Berlin, NJ (Vocus) March 26, 2010 -- It may seem puzzling at first, but there's a crafty and creative way families can help people living with autism this spring. A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. has teamed up with Easter Seals to launch an in-store campaign and crafting event that asks customers to Act for Autism® from March 1st through April 17th.
Customers who visit any A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts store during the March 1st through April 17th timeframe will be able to donate $1 to Easter Seals' Act for Autism campaign at checkout. The money raised will support Easter Seals autism services in those same local communities, giving thousands of children and adults with autism access to critical services that help them live, learn, work, and play.
At the culmination of these efforts, A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts will host free in-store "Make and Take" craft events at its 135 locations on April 17, 2010 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT for children and their families. Here, customers can come into the store to decorate an Act for Autism jigsaw puzzle or go online for instructions to create one at home (www.acmoore.com or www.actforautism.org).
The campaign coincides with National Craft Month in March and National Autism Awareness Month in April, and gives customers an opportunity to express their creativity, make a personalized puzzle, learn about aut

These coconut nut balls are perfect for on the go snacking and full of healthy fats and protein.
It has been entirely too long since the last "ball" recipe graced this blog and what better time to bust one out than a 4 day jaunt to California this week? If I had to give this work trip a hashtag it would be #fueledbyballs. I've got 10 of these nutty delights individually wrapped and shoved in my bag for the week. A girl should never be without her balls.
Eating healthy on the road is enough of a challenge. Eating paleo on the road is akin to trying not to be annoyed at the person in the seat behind you on an airplane using your seat as a punching bag for a 6 hour flight.
So far, (1 day into this trip) I've spent $32 at Balducci's in JFK purchasing a roast beef sandwich to dissect and use the meat on top of the $9 mixed greens salad, a fruit bowl for $6, a V8 (I've never had a legit, no fruit, just tomato, original V8 before yesterday. It was…interesting) and a 10pm second dinner of a meat + gauc + veggie bowl from Chipotle. It would've been way easier to grab a couple carb fest baguette sandwiches and call it lunch/dinner/second dinner like I normally would've and be done with the meals but I'm hanging on for the last few days of this self-imposed challenge (all bets are off in Italy later this month).
Hence, the balls.
They're paleo friendly, filled with nuts, coconut and coconut butter (alternatively named coconut crack in my house) and perfect for snacking. They were also made 1 hour before discovering the beetle infestation in the pantry. Thankfully, the beetles seemed to only be in the grain-like stuff, not the nuts. And if I'm wrong about that, they're chopped up small enough from the food processor that I can't tell and they happen to go really well with coconut.
- ½ cup cashews
- ½ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup almonds
- ¼ cup raisins (or dried cherries) soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, plus another ¼ cup for rolling (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- cinnamon to taste (about ¼ teaspoon)
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
- Combine all three nuts in a food processor and pulse a few times until they are finely chopped.
- Add remaining ingredients (except additional ¼ cup coconut flakes for rolling) to the food processor and process until the mixture comes together and starts to stick. This will only take about 1 minute.
- Transfer mixture to a small bowl.
- Pour remaining coconut flakes into a dish.
- Roll nut mixture into balls using your hands then place in the dish and roll in coconut flakes.
- You can eat them as is or transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate to firm them up a bit.
- Once refrigerated for about an hour, they can be wrapped up individually for easy snacking.

I love balls. haha:)
I love your balls! I made some balls yesterday and they were a little to moist!! Now I need to try your balls!!! I love coconut!!!
Now, these are my kind of balls! I've been wanting to make a big batch of coconut butter for awhile now.
Also, at 7:37 in the morning, I am now craving Chipotle… bet you didn't mean for that to happen ;) Have fun on your trip!!!
YUM!! It has been entirely too long since I have made some balls over here, too! :) I love all of the different nuts in here, I need to make some soon. Just out of curiosity is chocolate allowed on a Paleo diet?
I just bought a bag of coconut with no real purpose…I guess I just found it!
you just looove balls dont you
oh yeah eating 'paleo' on the road is always interesting. I pack hard boiled eggs and tell myself i'll never see the strangers sitting next to me on the airplane again, and dig in. Desperate times.
girl, i don't know how you are doing paleo on the road…i would definitely have just given up for the day after the roast beef + salad thing!
these balls though? you're right – a girl should never be without 'em ;)
I literally want to cry and run into a hole every-time I read that beetle thing. I'm like shaking thinking about it.
But, nut balls. That I can get on board with.
Balls! Thank goodness. I was beginning to worry.
I wish I loved coconuts! I feel like it is in a lot of paleo food.
airport food is THE WORST ripoff $$ (I spent $6 dollars on one cup of coffee at the ATL airport last week and even told the Barista this better be the BEST cup of coffee of my life or I want a refund! and I wasn't kidding; it wasn't even that good but I drank it anyway). Not only is 3 pieces of old fruit in a cup like $7 bucks but anything fresh is super expensive and not even really fresh. Ugh.
Good call on these balls!
Good luck while traveling!!!
Nut balls. You're my favorite person today!
I need to make these ASAP. Who doesn't love good balls? And they are paleo :)
i couldn't help but laugh cause those are some furry balls LOL I HAD TO. sorry, i'm not sorry ;)
Paleo while traveling? Girl you are dedicated!! At least you have these yummy treats though!
Yum!! These look delicious!
Your balls look delicious! :D
Coconut always makes everything look so pretty! I'm sad it's probably the only flavor I'm not wild about.
Eating healthy while traveling always feels ridiculously impossible. I definitely admire your commitment. And love these balls!
Your balls look very appetizing and I couldn't help but laugh at your beetle infestation. I guess you should be happy that your balls and nuts are ok. ;)
I always laugh when I see more balls pop up. Have a safe trip!
Yum! I love balls like this. I seriously laughed about your beetle in the food processor comment. Totally gross, but funny :D
So glad you posted this! I have been in the mood for coconut lately. And of course a ball recipe is always appreciated ;)
I just bought a bag of coconut with no real purpose
Hey there! I just wanted to say that I just came across your blog and LOVE all your recipes!!!! I'm a paleo lover and am always looking for new fun things to try. Keep up your great work! :)
i know this is an older post but JUST made them and delicious! Been trying the paleo lifestyle and needed a sweet treat. After ten minutes in the freezer they were perfect! Thanks!

Churches are expected to have safeguarding policies and procedures for vulnerable adults as well as for children and young people.
Can a church adopt a combined policy and combined procedures to cover both?
It is certainly possible to do so. However, within the Baptist Union we have taken the decision to continue to publish separate guidelines for churches on safeguarding children and young people and safeguarding vulnerable adults for a number of pragmatic reasons, and we believe that those same reasons may make it just as easy for churches to adopt separate policies and procedures for each vulnerable group.
The Baptist Union's guidance on safeguarding vulnerable adults entitled Safe to Belong is currently under review and not available. Please contact the Safeguarding Officer for more information.
The reasons for keeping the two documents separate are as follows:
While the principles of safeguarding are similar for children and for vulnerable adults, the ways in which the principles are applied can differ.
Some areas of safeguarding are particular to working with children and some are particular to working with vulnerable adults.
Documents can become large and unwieldy, with some of the material only relevant to some of the readers.
Church procedure documents should be as clear and as concise as possible so that all workers are familiar with the contents. When only part of the document might be applicable, the clarity and accessibility can be reduced.
In a small church which does not have any specific activities for children and young people or for vulnerable adults, a combined policy statement may be more appropriate than for a large church which needs procedures that take account of the complexities of the different groups that are being served by the church.

Nicholas A. Christakis (born May 7, 1962) is an American sociologist and physician known for his research on social networks and on the socioeconomic and biosocial determinants of behavior, health, and longevity. He is the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University.[1] He directs the Human Nature Lab, and he is the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science. Until July 2013, he was Professor of Medical Sociology in the Department of Health Care Policy and a Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; a Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences; and an Attending Physician at the Harvard-affiliated Mt. Auburn Hospital.[2][3]
From 2009 to 2013, Christakis and his wife, Erika Christakis, were Co-Masters of Pforzheimer House, one of Harvard's twelve residential houses.[4] In February 2015, it was announced that Christakis would become the new master of Silliman College at Yale University, perhaps the first person to serve in this role at both Yale and Harvard.[5]
In 2009, he was named to the Time 100, Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[6] In 2009 and again in 2010, Christakis was named by Foreign Policy magazine to its list of top global thinkers.[7]
He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006, and he was named a Fellow at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010.
Early life and education[edit]
Christakis is of Greek heritage.[8]
Christakis received a B.S. in biology from Yale University in 1984, where he won the Russell Henry Chittenden Prize. He received an M.D. from Harvard Medical School and an M.P.H. from the Harvard School of Public Health in 1989, winning the Bowdoin Prize on graduation.
In 1989, Christakis moved to Philadelphia, PA, where he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and then obtained a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. While at the Penn as a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar, he worked with Renee C. Fox, a distinguished American medical sociologist; other members of his dissertation committee were methodologist Paul Allison and physician Sankey Williams. In his dissertation, which was published as Death Foretold,[9] Christakis studied the role of prognosis in medical thought and practice, documenting and explaining how physicians are socialized to avoid making prognoses. He argued that the prognoses patients receive even from the best-trained American doctors are driven not only by professional norms but also by religious, moral, and even quasi-magical beliefs (such as the "self-fulfilling prophecy").
Christakis trained as a general internist. He completed his residency in 1991 at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He was certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1993.
Upon graduating in 1995, he was recruited by the University of Chicago, where he started as an Assistant Professor with joint appointments in Departments of Sociology and Medicine. Six years after arriving at Chicago, Christakis was awarded tenure in both Sociology and Medicine. However, in 2001, Christakis left the University of Chicago to take up a position at Harvard. In 2013, Christakis moved his lab to Yale University, where he is appointed as a Professor of Sociology and a Professor of Medicine, with additional appointments in Evolutionary Biology and Biomedical Engineering.
Christakis uses quantitative methods (e.g., mathematical models of network formation, statistical analysis of large observational studies, and experiments) to study social networks and other social factors that affect health. His work has spanned the fields of demography, sociology, sociobiology, behavior genetics, network science, and biosocial science. He is an author or editor of four books, more than 150 peer-reviewed academic articles, and numerous editorials in national and international publications.
Studies by Christakis and James H. Fowler suggested a variety of individuals' attributes like obesity,[10] smoking cessation,[11] and happiness[12] rather than being individualistic, are causally correlated by contagion mechanisms that transmit these behaviors over long distances within social networks.[13] Since then, other work in the Christakis and Fowler Labs has used experimental methods to study social networks,[14][15] and has broadened to use many data sets and approaches.[16] Christakis's Lab at has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), by the Pioneer Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, by the Gates Foundation, and by other funders. In a TED talk [2], Christakis summarizes the broader implications of the role of networks in human activity.
In 2009, his group extended the study of social networks to genetics, publishing in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences a finding that social network position may be partially heritable, and specifically that an increase in twins' shared genetic material corresponds to differences in their social networks.[17] And in 2011, Fowler and Christakis published a follow-up paper on "Correlated Genotypes in Friendship Networks" in PNAS.[18] Further work on this topic included "Friendship and Natural Selection" in PNAS in 2014.[19] In 2012, in a paper in Nature, the group analyzed the social networks of the Hadza hunter gatherers, showing that human social network structure has ancient origins.[20] Christakis and Fowler (and others) have argued that social networks are deeply related to human cooperation.[14][15]
In 2010, Christakis and Fowler published a paper (based on the spread of H1N1 in Harvard College in 2009) regarding the use of social networks as 'sensors' for forecasting epidemics (of germs and other phenomena),[21] beginning a program of research to deploy social networks to improve health and health care. In another TED talk [3], Christakis describes this effort and computational social science more generally. A follow-up paper in 2014 documented the utility of the approach in twitter.[22]
Christakis has practiced as a home hospice physician, taking care of home-bound, dying patients. In Boston, from 2002 to 2006, Christakis worked as an attending physician on the Palliative Medicine Consult Service at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2006, he moved to Mount Auburn Hospital, and in 2013, he moved to the Department of Medicine at Yale University.
Books and other writings[edit]
Christakis's first book, Death Foretold: Prophecy and Prognosis in Medical Care, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 1999.[9]
Along with James Fowler, Christakis is the author of Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives, published in September 2009.[23][24] It was awarded the "Books for a Better Life" Award in 2010 and has been translated into nearly 20 languages. Connected draws on previously published and unpublished studies and makes several new conclusions about the influence of social networks on human health and behavior. In Connected, Christakis and Fowler put forward their "three degrees of influence" rule about human behavior, which theorizes that each person's individual social influence can stretch roughly three degrees before it fades out.[25]
Christakis has also edited two clinical textbooks published by Oxford University Press.[26][27]
Christakis also contributes to popular media. He is a contributor to Edge and has published opinion pieces (with and without his wife, Erika Christakis) in venues such as Time, the Financial Times, the New York Times, etc., about science and the policy implications of new scientific understandings.

Yesterday we had lots of things to say about the fashion at the VMAs — the best and worst looks, the costumes, Kanye, Bieber, Gaga, and BEY-Z. Now we need to discuss the very curious case of Lil Wayne's legwear.
Weezy performed in some really awful leopard print jeans that we didn't think much about. But then — but then! — Complex was all, "Hold up! Those are JEGGINGS." And lady jeggings at that! The thing that is so truly odd about this is that they aren't tight! Well, they're tight, but not jeggings tight. In fact, they're saggy!
Held up by a Louis Vuitton rainbow monogram belt, said jeggings sag enough that Lil Wayne's Polo Ralph Lauren boxer briefs are more than a little visible. This all begs the question…WHAT SIZE ARE THESE JEGGINGS?! Sure, Weezy is a smallish dude. But his jeggings are saggy! And baggy! Jeggings are the opposite of those things!
Needless to say, we're confused. This is surely one of fashion's greatest mysteries.

The HALF BAKED CELEBRATION on April 20th is the shiz-nittlebam snip-snap-sack, especially when paired with Great Divide brew.
Before Dave Chappelle reached cultural godhood with his titular show, before Jon Stewart was the political pundit of our times, and before marijuana jokes were the stuff of mainstream Judd Apatow flicks … there was HALF BAKED.
Cowritten by Chappelle, the plot is deceptively simple: Three weed-loving friends Thurgood (Chappelle), Brian (Jim Breuer), and Scarface (Guillermo Diaz) decide to take up dealing in order to bail their pal Kenny (Harland Williams) out of prison. Their rapid rise in the weed industry causes issues with Thurgood's reefer-hating girlfriend –- ironically named Mary Jane Potman – and the local drug kingpin Sampson Simpson (Clarence Williams III). Things go from bad to bullet-filled once the cops get involved, but everyone comes out ok, even the Guy on the Couch.
A modest hit in 1998 (the world was still obsessively watching TITANIC), HALF BAKED has since developed a passionate fan following thanks to its celebrity cameos, adult humor, and sharp one-liners. There are a lot of marijuana movies out there, but HALF BAKED is the only one you'll see with diabetic horse named Buttercup, the avenging ghost of Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson, and the filthy, filthy confessions of Bob Saget.
When we decided to create a Food & Film event especially for the Alamo Drafthouse Littleton, we couldn't resist honoring Colorado's recent decision to legalize the green, and thus the HALF BAKED CELEBRATION was born. On April 20th at 7:00pm, we'll screen the film while serving a special three-course dinner that will cure you of the munchies. We're also pairing each course with terrific beers from Great Divide , so you'll fulfill all your adult addictions:
First Course
Pizza With Everything On It
Paired with Great Divide Nomad Pilsner
Second Course
Trio of Sliders:
Heffer With Cheese,
Cuban B's Killer Sandwich
Mary Jane's Hot Dawg
Paired with Hercules Double IPA
Third Course
The Buttercup Shake, featuring Chocolate Yeti Imperial Stout
The food is included in the price of your ticket, and will be delivered to your table by our team of stealthy and silent servers. If you require anything else from them, simply pop up an order card in the metal railing, and they will be by before you can assemble anything out of an avocado, an ice pick, and your snorkel.
Remember, if you need that other legal feel-good before our HALF BAKED CELEBRATION, you can order beer and cocktails right from our box office, and carry them straight into the theater with you. Trust us, you'll want to be well hydrated for those sliders.
Our cozy lobby tavern, Glass Half Full, is also open for business and carries our full food and drink menu within, so if the secondhand high of HALF BAKED has you hungering for additional sustenance, you can duck in and dine on more delicious Drafthouse food. You never need a ticket to visit Glass Half Full, so visit whenever you want to remember the summer before 9th grade, when it was you, Brian, Kenny, Scarface, and of course, the lovable Old James.
Tickets for the HALF BAKED CELEBRATION are on sale now. Squirrel Master ain't gonna be there for you if you wait, so get yours now.

Currently, AMD produces its 65-nanometer processors at its two main fabs in Dresden, Germany. One facility, Fab 36, is already on line and producing these processors, while Fab 30 is on schedule to fully convert from 90-nanometer to 65-nanometer by later this year. When the 65-nanometer revamp is complete, Fab 30 will be renamed Fab 38.
In addition, Sonderman told analysts that AMD is on schedule to produce its quad-core Opteron processors, codenamed "Barcelona," in volume at the Fab 36 facility by the middle of this year.
AMD continues to struggle behind Intel, and hope their focus on "elegant efficiency" approach to manufacturing will give them some leverage against its rival, by offering the "native" and more elegant design of four processing cores on a single piece of silicon, on the 65-nanometer process. Intel on the other hand, has beaten AMD on rolling out newer chips and will ramp up its own 45-nanometer manufacturing processor later in 2007, ahead of AMD's scheduled release in mid-2008.

Star Entertainment
Black Ice releases 'We're Lovers' video
Leighton Levy, Star Writer
Shot in California in early May, the music video for Black Ice's reggae single, 'We're Lovers', was released this week.
The video which features the Los Angeles-based, Jamaican-born singer and local songbird Sophia Brown, tells the story of a couple who started out as friends as children and eventually became lovers.
"It's my first video, and I am very pleased; the energy in it was great," Black Ice told The WEEKEND Star from his base in Los Angeles. The video that was shot on the beaches of San Pedro, just outside Los Angeles, was produced by Mark Richardson, directed by Lekeith Johnson and edited by Ayo Mikey. Effren Vicarra is the executive producer.
The video opens with a scene showing Brown in an airplane arriving at Los Angeles International Airport just as Black Ice is arriving at the airport in a convertible. It also features scenes of both artistes sipping wine on the rocks along the San Pedro shoreline and cutaways of their characters enjoying their friendship as children. Black Ice was full of praise for the production crew. "I helped with the storyline and they brought it to life," said the singer, who was born Gary Palmer in Battersea, St Ann.
The video should provide a boost to the song that has been well received, the singer said. "Radio personalities here have been great, very positive. It was the first time they were getting to know Black Ice, so it has been great," said the singer who revealed that he will now embark on the work needed to get the video out to as many platforms as possible.
"The key thing is that they (audiences) have something to hear and to see as I deliver some new songs and get some stage performances," said Black Ice, who said he is currently working on making some guest appearances on upcoming shows. Negotiations on those are still in progress.
Black Ice and Sophia Brown recorded the song at Big Yard Studios earlier this year after a chance meeting in the USA.

NKCC1 controls GABAergic signaling and neuroblast migration in the postnatal forebrain
1 Institut Pasteur, Laboratory for Perception and Memory, 25 rue du Dr. Roux, F-75724 Paris Cedex 15, France
2 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Unité de Recherche Associée (URA) 2182, 75724 Paris, France
Neural Development 2011, 6:4 doi:10.1186/1749-8104-6-4Published: 1 February 2011
From an early postnatal period and throughout life there is a continuous production of olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons originating from neuronal precursors in the subventricular zone. To reach the OB circuits, immature neuroblasts migrate along the rostral migratory stream (RMS). In the present study, we employed cultured postnatal mouse forebrain slices and used lentiviral vectors to label neuronal precursors with GFP and to manipulate the expression levels of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1. We investigated the role of this Cl- transporter in different stages of postnatal neurogenesis, including neuroblast migration and integration in the OB networks once they have reached the granule cell layer (GCL). We report that NKCC1 activity is necessary for maintaining normal migratory speed. Both pharmacological and genetic manipulations revealed that NKCC1 maintains high [Cl-]i and regulates the resting membrane potential of migratory neuroblasts whilst its functional expression is strongly reduced at the time cells reach the GCL. As in other developing systems, NKCC1 shapes GABAA-dependent signaling in the RMS neuroblasts. Also, we show that NKCC1 controls the migration of neuroblasts in the RMS. The present study indeed indicates that the latter effect results from a novel action of NKCC1 on the resting membrane potential, which is independent of GABAA-dependent signaling. All in all, our findings show that early stages of the postnatal recruitment of OB interneurons rely on precise, orchestrated mechanisms that depend on multiple actions of NKCC1.

University of Wisconsin students of EDGE Project will make available a household water treatment system, developed in partnership with InnoCentive for a partner community in Uganda. The filters will provide safe water for drinking, cooking, and washing for a family. Hundreds will no longer be drinking turbid water that lies off the shores of Lake Victoria, preventing illness and incapacitation. The materials for one filter are about $15 to $20. We want them to be available for $5, with your help
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The water around Lingira Island is laden with bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that cause gastro-intestinal diseases. The abject poverty of the area means that nearly all 3,000 residents of the island must use this water that is fed by runoff from industry and human and animal waste. Incidents of illness resulting from drinking, cooking with, or washing with this water are frequent, debilitating, and occasionally lethal. Access to safe water is a human right and we are taking action.
How will this project solve this problem?
We are partnered with engineer Chris Schulz who designed a household water treatment system specifically for developmental contexts. Besides being simple, cheap, and easy to operate, it improves upon other ceramic filter systems by providing more water at a faster rate. By providing filters at 1/4 their cost, we aim to make clean water affordable, but not free. This ensures that our supporters' gifts will help families who are up to the task of properly maintaining the filters.
Potential Long Term Impact
Illnesses that are common and treatable can often hurt families' income and health in impoverished areas. By, working to eliminate this link of disease transmission, Lingirans will spend less time at home with illness and more time providing for their families or working on their studies.
