These Jell-O worms make a fun Halloween treat.
- Filed Under
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I'll go eat worms! Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones, See how they wiggle and squirm!
Here's a way to make this come true
I think I may make cupcakes for Halloween and top them with Oreo cookie crumbs and these beauties.
I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice, And throw the skins away! Nobody knows how fat I grow, On worms three times a day!
Jell-O Worms
2 packs of raspberry Jell-O
1 pack of unflavored gelatin (The Knox brand comes in a box with 4 packs. Use only 1 of those packs.)
3 cups of boiling water
3/4 cups of whipping cream
Green food coloring
100 flexible straws
1 tall container big enough width and heighth-wise to hold the straws
Combine packs of raspberry Jell-O and unflavored gelatin with 3 cups of boiling water.
Mix for 2 minutes then let cool in until lukewarm.
Mix in whipping cream.
Mix in enough drops of green food coloring to make a worm color, about 10 to 15 drops.
Flex out all the straws and place them into the container (flexible side down making sure there's a tight fit). I wrapped them with a rubber band to help with this.
Pour Jell-O mixture as evenly as possible over the straws.
I got nervous when a lot of my mixture seemed to come right out of the bottom of the straws. Although they didn't fill the straws, I still ended up with good sized Jell-O worms.
Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
To remove the Jell-O from the straws, run a few straws under warm water for a couple of seconds then squeeze them out into a bowl.

Chemweek's lab
Ethylene outlook muted by weak demand, supply surge
3:00 PM MDT | April 1, 2013 | —Robert Westervelt in Houston
Weaker demand growth coupled with higher rates of capacity expansion has dampened the profit outlook for ethylene, particularly for high-cost producers that use heavier feedstocks, said Mark Eramo, v.p./chemical market insights for IHS Chemical. Eramo was speaking at the IHS Chemical World Petrochemical Conference (WPC), at Houston late last month.
Global ethylene consumption reached 129 million m.t. in 2012 and is forecast to grow at 4%/year for the next 5 years, Eramo said. "This represents nearly 6 million m.t./year of demand growth, which would result in total consumption near 158 million m.t. by 2017," Eramo said. That represents about 29 million m.t./year of new demand by 2017, compared to 34 million m.t./year of expected capacity growth over the same period. IHS estimates the industry will add 57 million m.t./year of new ethylene capacity between 2011 and 2020 with 40.5 million m.t., 70% of the total, added in the Mideast and Asia, and 12 million m.t., 22% of the total, added in North America.
"Under this scenario, the global operating rate never reaches 90% during the 5-year forecast," Eramo said. "This would suggest limited improvement in ethylene cash margins due to oversupply." Profits will vary widely by feedstock used, however, with gas-based producers maintaining strong margins.
"In North America, competitive ethane prices are supporting high ethylene margins and are creating a very profitable environment, which cannot be said for naphtha-based producers located in all parts of the world," Eramo said.
The rate of ethylene demand growth relative to global GDP growth is declining, another factor that will keep supply long, Eramo added. Ethylene demand growth was disappointing in 2012 at 1.5%, less than 2 million m.t., or roughly 0.6 times (x) GDP, Eramo said. IHS now forecasts ethylene demand growth to advance at 1.1–1.2x GDP through 2017, below previous forecasts. "This is below historical norms, including the 1990s, when ethylene demand grew at a multiple of 2x global GDP due to heavy substitution of ethylene-based plastics into many nondurable applications," Eramo said.
Polyethylene (PE) remains the primary driver of ethylene demand, representing more than 60% of total consumption, Eramo said. PE growth forecasts remain strong at 5%/year through 2017. The ethylene oxide forecast is also solid at 4.5%/year. "Styrenics and vinyls are showing more moderate growth rates, near 3%/year, more in line with global GDP growth," Eramo said.
IHS estimates developing counties will account for 70% of incremental ethylene demand growth by 2020, up from current levels of 60%. That level was 18% in 1995. "Rapid demand growth in these regions is impacting global trade flows for derivatives as well as investment decisions with respect to locations for new ethylene capacity and related investments," Eramo added.

Here are just some tips for anyone who has people breathing down their necks or people watching them eat.
- Ask a lot of questions. If you are trying to move the attention away from the food, getting them to answer questions is a great way. Ask them open ended questions so that they have a while to talk and a while to think about what they are going to say. That way, they won't be looking at your food but they will be focusing on answering the questions.
- Talk a lot. This one is simple. When you are talking, you aren't eating. Hold the food up to your mouth and then say something as if you just remembered what you were going to say. That way, it looks like you were about to eat.
- Spit into napkins. Take a large mouthful of food, making sure that they see, and chew it up so that it is smaller. Then, wipe your mouth on the napkin, spitting the food into your napkin. Don't use this as a go-to technique. This is just when you have a lot of food on your plate and need it to look like some of it is gone.
- Make your food look smaller. Either spread all of your food out so that it is thin, or bunch it all up in one place. That way, you plate looks less full. Your parents/whomever you are trying to hide ana from will be happy to see that you "ate" at least some of your food, so they won't get upset that there is still some food on your plate.
- Offer them some of your food. I know that this may seem a little suspicious, but when you are out to eat and you have something else than them, you can ask "Do you want some of this? It's so good, you have to try it." Insist. Be confident.
I guess you all know water is your bestie. Drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water, or a glass per hour.
-Cold water speeds up your metabolism.
-Hot water makes you full faster.
Have a sip of water between each bite, It will help you to fill up faster and won't make you overeat.
If you are about to binge, count 1 to 100, this will distract your mind and turn it to a different direction so when you finish counting you will be able to tell if you really want to eat or not.
You can also drink a glass of water fast, you'll be all disgusted and the impulse of eating will go away.
You can also brush your teeth, chew a non-calorie gum or a pepermint. Do you really want to mess up your perfect mouth? And if you still feel like it, give it a bite. Good? I don't think so, your mouth will be all minty and food will actually taste bad.
If you are REALLY willing to eat something, go to the kitchen, prepare it and chew it. BUT you have to split it out. And you should know that once food it's in your mouth, you gain the 15% of the calories in it.
Don't eat before going to sleep because you burn 100 calories while sleeping and if you have some snacks before that you will have to burn it, and other stuff you didn't burned earlier on the day so you'll actually are putting weigh for the next morning.
ALWAYS get 7-8 hours of sleep because like I said before- You burn 100 calories while sleeping AND if you don't sleep your appetite will increase by 15% the next morning.
If you have insomnia, can't help it. But don't cry, there's nobody awake! Do some workout while nobody is watching!
Every time you say 'no thanks' to food, you are saying 'yes please' to skinny.
When you are alone, WORKOUT! There's nobody to bother you!
-Go to the kitchen and throw away all the stuff you'll be snacking on the next day.
-Dance, sing loud, scream, laugh. You burn more calories.
-Go to the kitchen and LAUGH of food. I haven't lost my mind, I'm serious. Tell it how bad it is. Tell it how it dosen't control you. Tell it you will NEVER eat it.
NEVER EVER eat alone. It's no use. It's stupid. Eat when they're watching you so they can't say you starve yourself.
If you really don't want to eat but they're making you do so, get a colored cup and split all out in there, like pretend you eat it and that you'll drink water, they'll never know.
Do yoga.
Always take the stairs and when you do it, skip a stair so you'll loose more thigh fat.
Suck in your stomach always, you can burn up to 10 calories an hour.
Tip toe stand when you're washing your teeth, combing your hair, washing your hands, etc. This helps you burn about 15% more calories a day.
Wiggle your legs while stitting, this speeds up your metabolism and makes you loose about 10 calories per hour.
Don't stay in one place, move around. Every calorie counts.
Make a list of stuff you are NEVER aloud to eat.
Say you are happy with your body.
Don't get nervous when people talk about anorexia, say things such as 'i can't believe people actually starve themselves!' Don't be stupid.
If you have hunger pains, squeeze your body into a ball.
If you don't have anything to exercise with, walik up and down your stairs for all the time you want and make your thighs smaller.
Eat while watching yourself in the mirror naked. How much are you able to eat now?
Think higher of yourself. YOU are too GOOD to put THAT in your body.
Always remember what ANA WANTS.
Eat al least 7 things a day, we don't want a skinny corpse, we want a skinny girl.
Stay inspired. Why do you want to loose weigh?
Buy your own scale.
-Weigh yourself in the morning and at night.
If it's possible, get an ana buddy.
Hit your stomach when you are hungry.
Make up some punishments if you think about food.
-Put a rubber band in your wrist and slap it when you do so.
-Don't use a blanket in cold nights.
-Make up your own.
Take a shower with cold water. This helps you burn more calories.
Comment your tips down please.
Ana loves you.

text: Secrets of Mysterious Black Hole Jets Revealed Jets have power to spew iron and nickel, study finds By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted Nov 14, 2013 12:54 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (21) (Newser) – For years, astronomers have wondered what exactly black holes spew into our universe—and now they know. Iron and nickel have been found shooting from the relativistic jets of a black hole several times larger than our sun, but the finding is more surprising than it may seem. It shows the jets are much more powerful than previously believed since they have the power to move heavy atoms; it also identifies the mysterious contents that left scientists stumped as to why the jet's electrons didn't have a negative charge overall. "We now know that ordinary matter must be providing the positive charge," the study's co-author told the Los Angeles Times. The Nature study, which looked at radio waves and X-rays emitted from black hole 4U 1630-47, also offers clues to other mysteries surrounding black holes, like what causes the jets in the first place. The study points to a disk of matter surrounding the black hole, as opposed to the black hole's spin, and "we are planning further observations to try and confirm this," the co-author said. Another interesting find? Those jets are moving more than a little bit faster than the average hot tub: They travel at 123,000 miles per second, or 66% of the speed of light. Astronomy notes that while the black hole in question is rather small, the research would apply to larger ones, too.

POSTED: 7:18 p.m. HST, Nov 17, 2012
Brian Viloria unified the WBO and WBA flyweight titles with a 10th-round TKO of Hernan "Tyson" Marquez on Saturday night at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Viloria (32-3, 19 KOs) entered the ring as the WBO champion and left with both titles after knocking down Marquez (34-3, 25 KOs) three times in the fight.
Viloria scored the opening knockdown in the first round on a hook and again put Marquez on the canvas with a three-punch combination in the fifth round, ending in a straight right that sent Marquez onto the mat.
The biggest shot came in the 10th round when Viloria uncorked a left hook that was the beginning of the end for Marquez.
Marquez made it back to his feet but was badly hurt. Viloria lifted both arms in the air before the referee signaled for the fight to continue.
After a few more shots, Marquez's corner threw in the towel, ending the fight a minute into the 10th round.
Viloria has successfully defended the WBO title three times since winning it from Julio Cesar Miranda at the Blaisdell Arena in 2011 and has won seven in a row overall.

ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 29: Obama strong among middle class voters
In Monday's ABC News/Washington Post poll both President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have 49 percent of the vote among likely voters.
The poll also found that Obama leads Romney among middle class voters. Sixty-six percent said Obama's policies favor the middle class while only 34 percent said Romney's policies will favor that class.
Last week, likely voters said Romney was the better candidate to handle the economy, leading Obama by nine points. That support then stabilized by the end of the week and by Monday Romney led Obama by only two points, which put the two candidates essentially with even support on the issue among likely voters.

I'm making a knit top out of a horizontal stripe knit, uneven stripes to boot!
Matching the stripes for cutting out was no problem but as I'm trying to pn and sew in the sleeves the best I can match on the stripes is from the underarm to about mid way up, front and back, despite the fact that the stripes were matched to the top notch when I cut it out.
Snoop shopping shows that a lot of RTW stripes only match to the point I'm able to match to, mid way up, so I'm wondering if it's the best I can do.
To make matters worse I'm a perfectionist and the mismatched stripes will drive me nuts!
Just realized this should have gone under tips and techniques. Oops! -- Edited on 12/18/12 8:43 PM --
I'd go nuts too & a lot of RTW does not match up ... that's why I sew . As for tips , I'd hand baste it first and try on before proceeding to see what areas really make a difference to your eye. Am thinking your arm would cover any underarm area , it may be the lower part that is more noticeable ?
I was planning to hand baste first. There's almost no ease in the sleeve cap but I'm thinking of trying to remove some at the top (basting in first) to see if that will move the top stripes into a better alignment.
Thanks for the thoughts.

UW-Madison scientists to use high-density EEGs to benefit epilepsy patients
Jan. 21, 2014
University of Wisconsin researchers pioneered the use of high-density electro-encephalograph (HD-EEG) technology to study sleep patterns and the effects of meditation.
With support from a local grassroots organization, Lily's Fund for Epilepsy Research, UW-Madison researchers will now evaluate how this advanced technology might benefit people with epilepsy.
Giulio Tononi
Typical EEG devices used in hospitals and clinics gather information about brain activity and seizures using 19 electrodes placed on the scalp. By comparison, HD-EEG devices use up to 256 electrodes.
More electrodes mean more data, usually a good thing. But so much data can lead to information overload. Physicians can analyze traditional EEG readouts with the naked eye, looking for telltale spikes that signal an epileptic seizure, but HD-EEGs produce incredibly dense readouts in which the hundreds of lines run together and become impossible to decipher.
During the last 10 years, Dr. Giulio Tononi, UW neuroscientist and psychiatrist, has led efforts to develop proprietary software that can help interpret the massive amounts of data generated by HD-EEG sleep studies. He believes the techniques might yield important breakthroughs for epilepsy patients.
Tononi's lab will receive $100,000 from Lily's Fund for Epilepsy Research during the next two years to see if HD-EEGs can help pinpoint the focal point of seizures in the brain, and map the pathways those seizures take through the brain.
Locating that point of origin is critical for epilepsy patients who require brain surgery. One in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime, and one-third of those patients cannot gain control of their seizures with medication alone. Doctors and patients may opt for surgery, but only if the origin of seizures in the brain can be pinpointed accurately.
Because a traditional EEG does not provide enough detail, neurosurgeons rely on intracranial EEG studies, in which electrodes are placed directly on the brain itself. This invasive approach increases the risk of infection and other complications. HD-EEG technology may offer an accurate way to find the source of those seizures, potentially reducing the need to resort to the invasive intracranial approach.
"This is a very novel approach — one that might yield insights on the pathophysiology of seizures."
Giulio Tononi
Scientists believe the method might also predict the pathways of the seizures and how they move across the brain, which would represent a major breakthrough in epilepsy research.
"If high-density EEGs can be used to accurately locate through which pathways seizures spread from their focal point to invade the rest of the brain, physicians may be able to develop new ways to stop them from propagating when brain surgery is performed. For epilepsy patients, this could minimize the number of tests and avoid invasive monitoring that requires multiple surgeries," said Tononi.
"Over the next two years, we hope to study at least 20 patients, examining how seizures spread through the brain's cortex. This is a very novel approach — one that might yield insights on the pathophysiology of seizures," said Tononi.
Lily's Fund announced the creation of new competitive "Grace Grants" at their annual luau fundraiser in January 2013. While continuing to underwrite post-doctoral and graduate research fellowships at UW-Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health, Lily's Fund volunteers designed the new grant program to spark innovative early-stage epilepsy research. The new grant is named in honor of a Verona teen, Grace Penwell, who lives with Dravet's Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy and inspires others with her courage and spark.
Lily's Fund, established in 2006, is an all-volunteer organization that celebrates and supports epilepsy-related research at UW-Madison. The sixth annual Lily's Luau will be held Saturday, Jan. 25 at UW-Madison's Union South.

President Barack Obama said so today at a White House Summit on Working Families, noting that people ask him what he likes best about the presidency.
"The Truman Balcony is a really nice view."
"But one of the… best perks about president is that anyone will hand you their baby," he said to laughter. "I get this baby fix like two or three times a week."
"The reason it's so powerful is because I remember taking the night shift when Malia was born and when Sasha was born, and being up at 2 in the morning, and changing diapers and burping them, and singing to them, and reading them stories — and watching SportsCenter once in a while, which I thought was good for their development."
"It was."

Favourite Austin Stevens episode?
I have to say I liked the ones with the megasnakes, like the Anaconda and Retic the best. Or the one where he finds the rattlesnake in the Mayan temple.
Programmes like his and the late Steve Irwin's are far better than the old-style Sir David Attenborough wildlife programmes.

While remodeling our bedroom we are considering recessed lighting. The bedroom has a seating area also - the bed area is 14' x 15' and the seating area is 10' x 9' (overall length is 24 ') and the ceiling is a step ceiling (30" from wall and 8" high). Each area has a light switch which controls overhead lighting. Would the recessed lights (assuming 4" lights) spaced every 4 ft and 15" from the wall (1/2 the distance of the step ceiling) be adequate (assuming a 40-50 w bulb?). We also have 3-4 lamps in the room also.
I would go to more like 6' spacing. One in the corners and one in the middle. I think a lot of people are overdoing it with recessed lights. The ceiling starts to look busy and the more lights the more electricity you will use/waste. How much light do you need in a bedroom? In my 14'x14' bedroom I have one 6" in each corner and its more than enough. I installed a dimmer to cut it back. The higher the ceiling the more the light spreads out so the less you will need.
In general I think you are better off having too much light versus too little. If you plan using 50w bulbs, and it turns out to be too much, you can always use lower wattage bulbs or a dimmer.
Be sure to take into account the reflector type of the bulb as this will dictate how much the light spreads.
I disagree with Justin K because if you have too few lights, you start to get shadows and dark spots and assuming you're already at the max wattage, there is nothing you can do to improve the situation other than install more cans.
I think these two links will help you out.You can contact them and ask your query :

The Twin City Disc Golf Club held its 15th annual Ouachita River Open at the Lazarre Park Disc Golf Courses on Saturday and Sunday. A total of 91 players registered in divisions ranging from juniors (an 8-year old played) and women on up to Senior Grandmasters (a guy older than 70 played).
We had a wonderful turnout, but we could not host a tournament of this magnitude without the support of local sponsors.
So I would like to thank those that helped us: AmeriPride, Cloud 9, Waffle House of Lakeshore, Central Roofing, Car King, Ironwood Fence, Hooters, The Retro Shop, Scott's Catfish and Seafood, 1st Choice Bailbonds, Russell-Moore Lumber, Construction Bolts of Louisiana, Mr. P's Tees, Citizens Financial Services, Mac's Fresh Market, Wood Electronics, Holstead's, False River Fencing, West Monroe Parks and Recreation, Pelican State Clothing, Country Body Shop, Joe Matz, and Holstead's.
These sponsors gave money or prizes and several others gave items that made some of the best "ditty bags" the state has seen. Thanks to all the community for their support and to the players that came out. But most of all, thanks to all of our club members that came out last week to make the course a beautiful spectacle for all involved. What a wonderful weekend we had.

I hinted at it earlier, but now I'll just come right out and say it: I vastly prefer the Lexus ES300h and its hybrid powertrain over the ES350's gasoline V6. I'll remit my autojournalist credentials to the authorities post-haste.
While it's usually not "cool" for automotive journalists to make such a pronouncement, my reason for preferring the hybrid is simple: Fuel economy vs. usability.
While the ES350's engine was more powerful, I found no occasion that demanded the 3.5-liter V6's full 268-horsepower grunt during our week-long test of the car. The ES300h's 2.5-liter four-cylinder mated with the hybrid powertrain made 200 horsepower– admittedly, I didn't have an occasion that demanded 200 horses be turned loose, either– but offered way better fuel economy. Whereas the ES350 struggled to break 25 MPG on my commute of mostly sub-55 MPH highways, the ES300h made full use of those hybrid components to deliver a 38.3-MPG week, and I didn't even have to try that hard to hit that number.
In fact, I did my best to ruin my fuel economy on the last day of the test week, spending most of my time running around in "Sport" mode and driving like a bank VP late for a loan closing. The "Sport" mode increases throttle and transmission response at the expense of economy. Driven in "Eco" mode with a prudent right foot earlier in the test week, I was able to set a one-day record of 43 MPG, according to the on-board fuel economy tracker that was part of the car's Enform infotainment and telematics system.
Another cool thing to consider is how the hybrid drive system removes nearly all the guilt from using drive-thru service. As a devout fuel miser in my daily drivers, I've always made it a practice to park the vehicle and go in the building, whether I'm at the bank or the local burger joint, to avoid needless idling of the engine that lowers fuel economy numbers. The hybrid powertrain of the ES300h would kick over to EV mode almost as soon as I stopped in a drive-through or pulled into a low-speed parking lot. After commuting in my Magnaflow'd Ford Ranger the last couple of months, a couple of coworkers at the newspaper said the ES300h made it impossible to know when I pulled into the parking lot next to our metal building– something they knew almost instantly when I would back into my space next to the building and rattle the walls with my truck exhaust. Thank that EV mode for the stealthiness.
Looking at the build sheets of both the ES350 and the ES300h, the price difference is minimal. Our ES350 had the same $2,625 infotainment system as the ES300h. Both had light-colored leather interior with wood trim and a sunroof. Option-by-option, the Monroney labels read the same except for the wheels, where our ES350 had 18-inch aluminum rims and the ES300h had 17-inchers.
Here's the part that makes me say unequivocally I would choose the hybrid over the ES350: The hybrid cost just $840 more when so similarly equipped. At its significant fuel savings on my commute, that optional powertrain would quickly pay for itself– and in some ways is a lot more pleasant to live with day-to-day. Unlike a lot of hybrid specialty models, it makes financial sense to spring for the hybrid in this case if comparing it against its non-hybrid sister. And we all know the Lexus ES is popular among folks who dig finances.
Disclosure: Lexus provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas– which, try as I might, I could not consume more than half of during my test week.

On Mon., Dec. 2, the temperature in North Mason was below freezing in the day time, and community members became concerned about homeless neighbors freezing to death outdoors, and others with inadequate heating. The weather was to be exceptionally low for an extended time. Since North Mason Resources (NMR) helps the homeless, they were an immediate focus for citizen concern.
NMR Executive Cat Ross put the word out about needs and an avalanche began.
The Theler Board of Directors was contacted about utilizing Theler as a cold-weather shelter, and the directors, along with brand new Executive Scott Stanton, in his first week on the job, heartily agreed, and there was a location to receive people and supplies. Theler, located at 22871Highway 3 in Belfair (across from Belfair Elementary School) is designated by the Red Cross as an emergency shelter during times of community-wide disasters, but cold weather is not one of them. Nevertheless, there were 100 Red Cross cots stored at Theler available for use. The cold weather shelter was in business.
The Community Food Pantry (CFP), housed in NMR, is the designated emergency food coordinator for this area. They called their helpers who boxed up food for dinner: chili, bread, cookies, coffee, cider, plus breakfast items.
NMR had kicked off the coordinated effort with their readerboard, emails and phone calls to churches and other volunteers. That multiplied out on phone trees, email lists, and Facebook pages that were copied and shared over and over. NMR was able to deliver 21 blankets for the first night the shelter was open. For hygienic reasons, blankets, pillows and cots must be washed and dried after each night's use.
On their first day in operation, volunteers were lined up deeper than clients, and donations were overwhelming. Both Ross and Stanton specifically mentioned the immediate outpouring from the community's churches, but also the other non-profits and just caring citizens who came in with diapers, cookies, new socks, soap, toilet paper, tooth brushes and tooth paste, paper towels, blankets, pillows, warm coats, boots, board games, and a multitude of other necessities and niceties. "The community really stepped up," Stanton said. "It has really been fabulous."
Low temperature in Belfair on Dec. 7, was just 9-degrees. Stanton said it was a cold event unseen in 15 years in this area.
Among the volunteers, according to Stanton, was a woman who had gotten married the day before. She told Stanton that she would be married to her husband for years, but would gladly help neighbors in dire need that evening. "That was really special," Stanton said.
Among clients was a young woman who came in desperation, having walked from the North Bay area. Volunteers described her as "freezing and starving." She sobbed for over an hour as they thawed her out. She had a warm meal and slept for several hours. She accepted food to take with her, having been outfitted with appropriate winter outerwear. Theler Board member Bonnie Pope, who helped care for this woman, was quite certain she would not have survived had she not entered Theler when she did.
Another client was 9 months pregnant, one day past her due date. When she did not come back the next day, Stanton indicated his hope was that she was in a warm hospital holding her baby.
The shelter officially opens at 7 pm each evening when the temperature is below freezing, but in reality, it opens when the first person in need shows up. The doors are locked at 10 pm. Clients must sign in, show respect to all, abstain from drugs and alcohol, and bring no weapons. They are awakened at 6 am, clean up their own space, have breakfast, and vacate the center by 8 am.
Volunteers may call the Theler Center at 360-275-4898 or just drop by.
"This outpouring is a testament to how much the citizens of the North Mason area care about rallying together in a crisis," Ross stated.
Ross drove around that first evening, hoping to persuade homeless clients to come to the shelter. She is aware that the majority of homeless will not take advantage of the shelter, and said NMR is accepting items for cold weather needs at their location, 140 NE SR-300, Belfair, all of which is available to shelter guests and others. They are also accepting monetary gifts for the Theler excess heating bills for this time. Mark such donations "Chill Needs" and mail to NMR, PO Box 2052, Belfair, WA 98528.
Photo, left to right: Mel Coffman and Bonnie Pope, Theler Board of Directors, and Dan Newcomer of the Community Food Pantry. All gladly volunteered time to help folks at the cold-weather shelter at Theler Center in Belfair.

Also war is visceral and makes you want the good stuff all the time because you could die tomorrow.
If Voyager really had been NuBSG like some people wanted there would have been a lot more action. Then again the holodeck is the ultimate tv so perhaps not. I bet there were studies in medical journals about how the holodeck is wiping out people's (real) sex lives. Not just because of all the porn, but because of how time consuming that kind of recreation is.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III returns to the huddle after hurting his right knee Jan. 6 in Landover, Md.
- Filed Under
Although an inquiry by the NFL Players Association into the handling of Robert Griffin III's knee injury uncovered no wrongdoing by Washington Redskins doctors and trainers, the union's medical advisor said the case illuminates the need for more defined return-to-work guidelines.
"On concussions, we have a very clear process in place that dictates when a player can return," Thom Mayer said. "On orthopedic injuries, the line isn't as fine yet. We need to have further discussion on this."
Mayer looked into the case that led to Griffin undergoing surgery to repair that lateral collateral ...

Reporting in this game does nothing. I as well have ran into cheaters, and unreal stats. The game is horrible, ive seen some of the same cheats i see in black ops 1. Invisible and god mode BS! i report and so does my whole team. They need to make it so that when so many report one person in a game they get kicked. its dumb an annoying.

And how many times do you think you would be kicked? I have players constantly telling me that I cheat and that they'll report me. So much so, that if your plan was instituted, I would probably be blocked.

Perhaps if you had done a little research instead of coming in here acting like you know that reporting in this game does nothing, you would know on Monday night, a huge ban wave happened that nailed a lot of players. In fact, a few players came on the boards whining already and it is just as bad on Twitter. So now you can't say reporting in game does nothing unless you want to be wrong.
Re: Impossible stats!!?!!kurt24 Feb 4, 2014 8:47 PM (in response to Gonzo75)
I dont understand y the leader boards don't get cleaned up and the players banned. Maybe they ban the players and don't fix leader boards. Not sure y cause it seems like a simple thing to do
Re: Impossible stats!!?!!gramthenOOb Feb 5, 2014 7:50 AM (in response to Gonzo75)
Lots of truth is the OP. The leaderboards have been messed up at the top for every COD that I can remember playing.
You're the right thing though. Just keep leaving the games that you encounter these situations. It will minimize the chances of playing in an unfair or otherwise detrimental lobby. I'm like you though; I see someone with obviously hacked stats and I burn rubber out of that lobby.

'Brady 6' documentary upcoming
As part of its "Year of the Quarterback," ESPN has filmed a documentary called "The Brady 6" about the lightly-regarded Michigan QB and the six quarterbacks who were selected before him in the 2000 Draft.
The text in the trailer reads, "In the 2000 NFL Draft/A quarterback from Michigan was waiting to be drafted/6 quarterbacks were selected before him/No one believed in him/So he made them believe/And in the process he became a legend.
"We know what happened next.../But where are the other 6/And how does Brady stay on top of his game?"
Brady is in the documentary, as he has long hair in the clip of him that's shown in the trailer. Robert Kraft is also part of the film, as are, of course, the six men chosen before him - Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, Marc Bulger and Spergon Wynn.
"The Brady 6" debuts Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Coconut milk a substitute for cow milk?
Fat is essential in kids under 5. Coconut milk or rice milk are not the best choices. Those are fine in baking and cookie but are very low in fat. We use soymilk, Silk brand omega 3 DHA it has 5 grams fat per 8 ounces. We have also used hemp milk. Those are the best choices for fats, but they are *still* less fat than whole milk. Whatever milk alternative you use be sure to add in healthy fats to your lo's diet. Avacados, olive oil, coconut oil are what we use.
I nursed a little longer than I would have preferred because mamas milk is best. Many moms continue with formula a little longer or use a toddler formula.
NO goat milk. The proteins are too similar to cow milk and most cow milk allergic children will also react to goat milk.
Angela -6yr & 3yr old combined allergies to PN, TN, milk, eggs, peas, lentils and fish
Coconut milk has a bit of fat, I remember going wow, that's a lot for an alternative. It's in my fridge, I'd have to look at how much. I'm personally a big fan of formula or bfing till a child is 2 and using alternative milks as a supplement instead of normal.
Jennifer, CPST, LPN to BSN student, birth Doula, and VBAC x3 HBAC x1 mama to: AJ (5/03), Evan (12/04), iLana (11/06), Olivia (2/09), and Unity (8/2012)!
Yes coconut milk is an excellent source of good fats--- the areas that it is lacking involve calcium and protein (there are others too, but these are the main ones). Since my LO started eating and drinking coconut, her weight gain has been awesome (Wasn't doing so great before hand).
Are there any other foods that your LO is allergic to? If not, I am sure you could easily compensate for the absence of dairy in his/her diet. We alternate between hemp and coconut milk, give a multivitamin, try to compensate as much as possible in her diet for other nutrients, but since she has such a limited diet, we also rely on my breastmilk and an elemental supplement.
There is a new coconut milk on the market now--- Silk has come out with one that has 50% (!!!!) daily requirements of calcium and some other great vitamin amounts in it. BUT it has soy and almond contamination warnings so if those aren't ok for your LO, you may have to steer clear of the Silk brand. For this reason, my DD drinks So Delicious Coconut Milk and Unsweetened Unflavored Tempt Hemp Milk.
~ Amanda, FTM to Baby B (March '09), Baby C (May '12) Love my girls!
I don't generally worry about contamination warnings. IMO it's only on there b/c those are the only types of milk Silk makes. I haven't tried their coconut milk, we've done So Delicious but are doing Silk Almond now, yum! Olivia had her first cow's milk this morning and I think we're in the clear on everything now. We're been working up to that for a few wks now. YAY!
We've tried hemp milk, I can't stand it.
Jennifer, CPST, LPN to BSN student, birth Doula, and VBAC x3 HBAC x1 mama to: AJ (5/03), Evan (12/04), iLana (11/06), Olivia (2/09), and Unity (8/2012)!
Coconut milk is a GREAT substitute. No other alternative has the good fat content that coconut milk can provide. You will still need to find a way to get enough calcium and protein in the diet through other foods, but we like coconut milk for it's great fat content (which is really why babies still need milk in the first place).
Both my kids had food allergies to dairy and we used coconut milk and almond milk as substitutes. We avoid using soy as much as possible. They are now 8 and 5 and still drink it!!! They are doing great too!!!
When my daughter couldn't have milk we did soy because she is allergic to nuts so almond milk and coconut milk was a no no
What about Goats milk? my mother always tells me to give my little one that since she has issues going to the bathroom after drinking cows milk
Mother to a wild child DD 06/27/2010
My ds drinks almond milk and my dd drinks neocate junior and hemp milk. I use coconut milk for baking and making food such as pancakes and waffles. It tastes great in baked goods.
You don't get it unless you live it!
We also used the organic soy with DHA once DS went off soy formula. We found it to be the most complete. Do not use goat or any other 'animal' milk as the proteins are too close to dairy. Due to peanut allergy (and avoidance of all other nuts) he could not have almond milk. We added fats by putting flax seed oil or olive oil on foods.
I would recommend using a bit of both. DS drank just soy, but we also used coconut yogurt and coconut ice cream as a treat.

text: I think there is, although it's less noticeable under glass. There is a difference in print longevity, though. The extra time in producing a fiber print will ensure that it lasts. In the grand scheme of things, the extra effort involved in making fiber prints isn't that much, when considering the print's lifespan. For me, the few minutes saved, using RC paper, isn't worth the potential loss of image quality over the decades to come.

Top 5 NFL Defenses: 2011/2012 Season:
Written By: Andy Flint
Defense is the glue that holds an entire franchise together. Without the hard-hitting line-backers, ball-hawking defensive backs, and a defensive front, built on strength, agility and blazing speed, most professional teams would simply fall short. I'm a huge advocate for strong defensive play. I believe a team can only be as strong as its defense. This is my prediction for what teams have the best defensive potential for the upcoming season.
"You bet. We own the Titans. I remember the good old days when I would blow up Eddie George with a big hit. Now, they've got another running back with two first names, Travis Henry, whom I plan on blowing up in the same manner." –Ray Lewis
#5: New York Jets:
The bone-shattering New York Jet defense has become somewhat of an NFL staple over the course of the last couple of seasons. Coach Rex Ryan doesn't accept anything but greatness from his players and he holds everyone accountable for their actions on the field. The Jets defense is fueled by perennial shut-down corner-back, Darrelle Revis. "Revis Island" has become a common term in popular football ramble, and is known as a cold and lonely place for vacationing wide-receivers. I expect that Rex Ryan and the Jets defense will continue to improve, Bart Scott, Revis and cast, should continue to excel on the defensive end of the ball.
2010/2011 Defensive Stats: 19.0 ppg (6th), 291.5 yards per game (3rd), 200.6 passing yards per game (6th), 90.9 rushing yards per game (3rd):
#4: Chicago Bears:
The Chicago Bears and it's defense have been a long-standing NFL tradition. We all recall the Bears defensive units from the 80's, and surly we all recall the defensive work they put in a few years ago. The defense that would propel them to a 13-3 record, and carry them straight into the 2007 Super-Bowl? The Bears had a run of bad luck after their success in 2007. Urlacher, who is the heart and soul of their defense, was hit with injury, and they had some off the field issues unfold. But, it seems as if they found their way again last season. While they'll need to get better against the pass, I'm sure they'll put up stout numbers across the board.
2010/2011 Defensive Stats: 17.9 ppg (4th), 314.3 yards per game (9th), 224.2 passing yards per game (20th), 90.1 rushing yards per game (2nd):
"My object is to stop the guy with the ball before he gains another inch." –Dick Lane
#3: Baltimore Ravens:
I find it hard to argue against the Ravens defense. These guys are tough, they're gritty, and they play with every ounce of Baltimore behind them. "Purple Pain" is one of the most exciting, and bone-crushing defensive units that I have ever witnessed. Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs fully embody the fierce spirit of old-school defensive punishment, and they look good doing it. Their heated rivalry with the fellow defensive-minded, black and yellow wearing, Pittsburgh Steelers only makes us want to see more games like last seasons' playoff game. I expect the Ravens defense to button-up behind their "bread-n-butter" and have an incredible defensive season!
2010/2011 Defensive Stats: 16.9 ppg (3rd), 318.9 yards per game (10th), 224.9 passing yards per game (21st), 93.9 rushing yards per game (5th):
#2: Green Bay Packers:
Explosive, energetic, young, and scary as hell. That is the way I view the Green Bay Packers defense. These guys are animals, and they're on a mission to prove just how good they can be. I think we'll see them lose some mistakes they made from last season, and come full circle with a ridiculous 2011/2012 NFL season. The Packers defense, led by the man-child, Clay Matthews, are going to make noise for many seasons to come. These guys are fast, they hit hard, and they understand the game. They've already added a Super-Bowl to their collection, but I expect to see them keep playing with a big chip on their shoulders.
2010/2011 Defensive Stats: 15.0 ppg (2nd), 309.1 yards per game (5th), 194.2 passing yards per game (5th), 114.9 rushing yards per game (18th):
"I thought I came back to win a Super Bowl. But I found out in the middle of last season that's not what I came back for. I came back for these men inside the locker room. It wasn't about playing with those guys, it was about allowing those guys to see the man behind the persona." –Deion Sanders
#1: Pittsburgh Steelers:
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to prove time and time again that, defense wins in the NFL. These guys have been the absolute terrors of the league over the past decade, and beyond. I recall seeing clips of the "Steel Curtain", and those guys were intimidating. Today's Steelers aren't a far cry from those old-school, grid-iron warriors. Sure, James Harrison is an idiot, but he's a phenomenal defensive animal, and a great enforcer on the field. The Steelers, Led by Troy Polamalu, seem to set the bar for defensive play, each and every season. I expect to keep seeing these guys go out there and blow opposing players up, every single down.
2010/2011 Defensive Stats: 14.5 ppg (1st), 276.8 yards per game (2nd), 214.1 passing yards (12th), 62.8 rushing yards per game (1st):

Talk around the Trek Lit forum indicates the Borg are pretty much taken out of the equation for all time, or so it seems, so something of great importance must have occured. And what is this about Borg hunger? What, did Picard and team give them some yummies to make them go away? Sonja Gomez Captain of the daVinci? Where's Gold? Do the other species of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants blame humanity for the Borg? Why? What went on in this book, or the trilogy, to cause this? Go ahead and tell me what's gone on, because at this rate it will be several months until I get to finish this trilogy...by which time, we'll be talking about all the post-Destiny books!

What does your website say to visitors from mobile devices?
"With mobile website traffic on the rise, you might think small businesses are developing mobile-friendly websites. But you'd be wrong. Only 26 percent of small businesses have a mobile website. That's a growing problem — especially for local businesses."
A website can be a great 'shop window' for your business. Imagine turning away visitors from your shop before they can even see what you sell!
Make smartphone and mobile users happy
Is your website welcoming to mobile visitors, giving them an easy way to navigate through your site and read the content?
Commonly websites haven't been built with consideration for mobile users, and in effect are telling those users they are not welcome.
So I have to build a new site just to cater for mobile visitors?
Actually, no. If you already have a website, but it doesn't work well on mobile – there are usually ways that you can workaround a full site redesign / rebuild. One such method is called 'responsive' design. This, as it sounds, means that the website responds to the size of the device which it is being viewed in.
Although this sounds perfect, it can mean that sites download slowly (as mobile devices have slower internet connections than desktop devices, and the device downloads the full site (including any large images designed for desktop computers)).
However, a responsive upgrade to your site could be a great option to get you back on track without breaking the bank. You get to keep many elements of the website you are used to, but with the additional benefit of knowing that as mobile devices continue to increase in popularity, your site will stand out as one that is easy to use.
Responsive Sites vs Dedicated Mobile Websites
An alternative to responsive design is to have a dedicated mobile site, which might look like this:
mobile.yourwebsite.com or m.yourwebsite.com
This is where the website contains code that says, "You're viewing this on a poxy little mobile – so I'm going to send you to another website that will work better for you".
This is different to responsive design, which says, "I see your screen is x number of pixels wide – I'm going to squeeze this website into that size, and make the text bigger so you can read it".
There are arguments for and against both responsive or dedicated mobile websites. We tend to favour responsive websites when building new websites, as it reduces the cost for the client whilst providing a satisfactory experience for website visitors. It also means that the site that visitors on all devices see is the same content. Search engines penalise websites that output duplicate content, and dedicated mobile sites can be seen as a copy of the desktop site.
However, there are situations where a separate mobile site delivery can provide the most satisfactory experience of all, particularly in e-commerce situations where every little detail can make the vital difference towards a sale.
Ignorance Was Bliss
Hopefully the above description hasn't made things worse for you. If you would rather dig and hole and sit in it than think any more about mobile websites, we'd be more than happy to explain the principles of designing websites for mobile users – and we can stick the kettle on while we're about it.
