Until recently, I could not understand the attraction that Females had for Bad Boys.

Example;

 I once knew a man that was a liar, cheat and thief. He had been in and out of

Jail and Prison MANY times, used very hard drugs and treated Females like they

were subhuman. Whatever you can think of that's rotten to do to a Female, he did.

 I was visiting the state where he lived and it just so happened that he was being
released from Prison the next day. So....I went with his relatives to pick him up at
the prison. He had been in Prison for 3 yrs., I think. That night I went with him to
a bar, one of his favorite haunts, and within 2 hrs. he had picked up a very nice
looking Female, whom he never met before, and spent the weekend with her.
I couldn't have that happen to me even if she died and willed herself to me. I'm
happy to say that I can be considered a Geek and/or Nerd. I don't do bad things,
don't do hard drugs, try to treat Females with some respect and NEVER been in
Jail or Prison. I'm on the outside looking in at how these Bad Boys DO these Females
then listen to these Females piss and moan about how they are being treated.
IT NEVER MADE SENSE TO ME.

Then a light lit up............The Female of our species can't, really, help going after
Bad Boys. They could though if they could understand there emotions.

It all goes back to our very ancient ancestors......The Ape Species.

All you need to do is look at modern day Gorillas and this is how our very ancient ancestors
lived.

There was 1 Silver Back, several Females and many young males and females of
various ages. The Silver Back would give protection, security and food for the
Females and their young. Should the Females get out of line, the Silver Back
would not hesitate to put them back in line even if he had to beat the shit out of
them. To the Females this was an acceptable trade off for the protection, security and
food for the Females and their young. Though they probably didn't like it much because
they will keep a close eye on what the Silver Back does.

Not much different with the Human Females of today.

Give a thought to Females in other societies.

A "True" Story Posted by My Grandfather to Facebook, or What Older Generations Really Think of Young People

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

A "True" Story Posted by My Grandfather to Facebook, or What Older Generations Really Think of Young People

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
 The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
 After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
 The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
 Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

 These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Comment 1: WAY TO GO!! Those fool students got an excellent lesson on why Socialism is an abysmal failure.

December 13, 2011 at 7:15am ·

Comment 2: It is really quite sad to see college students who think like this...... once they are in the real world, that ought to change fairly quickly (at least, I sure hope so).

December 13, 2011 at 7:16am ·

Comment 3: If it does not they are either exceptionally naive or wind up as part of the entitlement class.

December 13, 2011 at 7:19am ·

Comment 4: Exactly!!

December 13, 2011 at 7:20am

Comment 5: The students got what they deserved, and so will we if we don't change the way our youth think about this country, and the brain washing they get from most of the left leaning teachers in the system. Thank God for this Prof. and lets hope his students finally got the lesson.

December 13, 2011 at 7:30am ·

Comment 6: So agree!!!

December 13, 2011 at 7:31am ·

Comment 7: ME TOO!

December 13, 2011 at 7:31am ·

Comment 8: I"ve seen this before, it sure ring's true. sadley the first wave of Indoctrination has rolled through, there called OWS protesters.

December 13, 2011 at 7:57am ·

Comment 9: I think these few college students are just a small portion of the problem. When %78 of the people agree with the President talking about making the Rich "pay their fair share" when so many others aren't paying a dime and are sucking off the government dole I think we have a much larger problem than we care to admit.

January 4 at 4:09pm ·

Comment 10: There used to be a stigma attached to being on the govt dole, now it seems to be a source of pride for many. I think we are seeing the decay of a once great nation much like the Great Roman Empire fell. We are seeing the modern day version ...See More

January 4 at 4:11pm ·

Comment 11: Thanks for sharing... This is the most compelling experiment I've every heard of from "a college professor." Usually pretty liberal. I will share!!!

January 5 at 7:32am ·

Comment 12: Snopes says it is legendhttp://www.snopes.com/college/exam/socialism.asp

January 5 at 7:47am

Comment 13: FIGURES!

January 5 at 9:41am

Comment 14: probably true, but some of my favorite and most memorable stories are also legends

January 5 at 9:50am ·

Comment 15: It certainly illustrates the point in a simple way. The only problem I saw with the story is that everyone in the class went along with it. Hopefully we are not ALL sheep.

So here we are. We have this wonderful story, posted onto Facebook by my grandfather (screw you, Mark Zuckerburg, for letting anyone above the age of 30 on there in the first place). As one semi-astute commenter points out, this story is not true. It is, in fact, completely made up. There are many, many reasons why I doubted this story was even close to truthful. First, it mentions a "local college," which basically means either the local liberal arts university (where my degree is from) or the local community college. Since the professors at the community college don't have a lot of freedom in how they set their grading scale, and since the students at my alma mater aren't complete morons who think socialism means that everyone gets exactly the same amount of everything, I crossed them off the list. There is one more possibility, which is a local Christian school, but I think their business school is actually decent and so I doubt it. Anyways, my cousin graduated from that school recently, and I'm sure I would have heard if a professor there decided to behave like a lunatic.

The main reason why I supposed this story to be false is that none of the people involved behave like actual people who have ever studied at a college. They behave like an ignorant, frightened person supposes that a clever economics professor (who of course must share their opinion that Obama is a "socialist") and foolish students (those kids always think they're so damn smart, don't they?) would act. Professors don't fail students who do their work correctly. At least, not at either of the two universities I attended, or any of the universities my family members and friend attended. Students also do not sit back and accept C's when they have earned A's. I can guarantee that most if not all of the students who cared about their grades enough to study would be waiting outside the Dean's office before the end of the day. The people who commented on my grandpa's Facebook page even recognized this. They mentioned Occupy Wall Street. There, a lot of young people have gathered to protest a perceived injustice when there is no clear person they should be protesting to. Yet in the story, students in a bureaucracy where there are clear chains of command and systems in place to address injustices just fall into an apparent lethargy of socialism. It's only believable if you really want to believe it.

Now, for kicks and giggles, let's assume that the story is true. A "local economics professor" truly did attempt to impart a vicious lesson to his students about the evils of socialism and how the lazy use it to leach off of the hard workers. Let's try a little brainteaser and look at some of the reasons explaining why the lesson, instead of the story, is bullshit.

1) Let's get the obvious out of the way. A classroom is not an economy. One student cannot hoard all of the good grades. In most undergraduate classrooms, it is theoretically possible for every single student to get an A. Obviously, in an economy it is impossible for every person to be in the top percent of earners. There is no "free market" principle here because the students, if they actually receive the grades they earn, are not dependent on each other for their grades. In a capitalist economy, those who make money have to get it from other people, and the other people don't have an unlimited amount of it to spend. The professor here has an unlimited amount of any grade he wishes to give. He can fail every student, or he can give them all A's.

2) Socialism doesn't mean only one thing. Setting up state-run programs that the taxpayers contribute to is a far cry from having all companies run by the state. I think it is fair to assume that the more extreme form of Socialism is what the professor had in mind, since all students received an average of the class's labor, but considering that our country does not even have a public option when it comes to health care for the majority of its citizens, anyone who claims that Obama is trying to turn us into China is grasping at straws. The first thing that popped into my head when I read this was that it was just ridiculous for my grandfather to be denouncing Socialism in all its forms, since without Medicare he would be dead, as he and my grandmother could not afford the heart surgery he had two years ago without that Socialist system.

3) A similar grading system does exist in some college classrooms in a smaller form. That form is the dreaded group project. In any random group of students you are bound to get some who work harder than others, and therefore some who work more to make up the difference and some who benefit from that person's work. However, the students who work harder don't stop working because other people aren't doing their share. They work harder, and they do everything in their power to get their lazier group members to pitch in. This is the argument I never buy. I've heard it on Fox News from O'Reilly, I've heard it from whiny businessmen, and I don't believe it. They talk about how, if they have to pay more in taxes, they won't really get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and they guess they'll just have to quit! Who is stupid enough to believe this? Who really thinks that, because they get to take home 15 million next year instead of 22 million, that they will just throw in the towel? "Well, 15 million is just chicken scratch! Guess I'll quit now and let someone else cut into my market niche while I go away and no longer earn any money, so that I don't have to pay taxes on it." It is even sillier than thinking that students who work hard for A's will settle for F's just because the teacher doesn't like Obama. This is what we call a bluff, children, because these people like paying 12% taxes instead of 60%. They think if they threaten to take away your jobs, you will back off and leave them with their precious, precious loopholes.

To sum up, I am sick of older people who depend on both Social Security and Medicare calling Democrats Socialists like it's a terrible thing, while trying to paint my generation as stupid children. Most of my generation isn't sucking on the Social Security teat yet, but if they hate Socialism so much, we can always suspend those programs for a month – just a month, and just for anyone ranting about Socialism. My grandfather is a veritable fountain of pre-existing conditions, so if he loves the free market economy so much, unregulated by the federal government, maybe it would do him some good to shop around for an insurance company that would choose to cover him in a free market. I know it would do my temper some good.
 Youth Unemployment in the UK tag:atheistnexus.org,2011-08-21:2182797:BlogPost:1560811 2011-08-21T13:14:50.000Z Stuart M Rees http://atheistnexus.org/profile/StuartMRees

The unemployment rate for 16-23 year olds is the highest it's been in a generation in the UK, with record numbers of university graduates and school levers going straight on the doll. Even though this feels like a fairly recent news story, caused by raised tuition fees and extensive cuts implamented or planned by the fairly new coalition government, it really has been a growing problem for many years now. I graduated university in the year 2009, which, at the time, was considered the worst time since the 80's to leave education, and I struggled to find work for the best part of 6 monthes. During that time I wrote the following little rant, which I forgot about and rediscovered this morning. I think it's worth showing, as it really does convay the intense feeling of failure this kind of unemployment can cause.

"Until recently I had never before had the unique pain that comes from regular visits to the job centre. There is no other place in the world where you get the feeling of sheer lack of self worth that you get from just standing in that building. The job centre is my idea of hell. If hell existed, which it doesn't, it wouldn't be full of torture and fire, it would be full of desks and endless incomprehensible forms to fill, which you can only sign if you provide two forms of photo ID, bank account details from the last six months and a gas bill, provided you use a black ink biro pen and stick to block capitals. It's infuriating, but not just because of the legislative nonsense. By going there you are asking for help, which means you must have first acknowledged that you are in need of help. So to even get through the door you have to admit that you are useless, unless you're a benefit fraudster, in which case you've always known. So you go to a government building set up specifically for people to go in and beg for money. My point is; it doesn't do much for your self esteem. Being unable to support myself makes me useless, that's how I feel. Worse is the job centre experience when you realise that the people on the other side of the desks are a bunch of dribbling work shy retard chimps, who understand as much about the system as you do. They seem to just drudge around in limbo, emotionlessly going about everything at a shuffle's pace. And they managed to get a job, so what does that say about me? The very worst thing is that you know they can't help you. Things are bad at the moment and will get worse before they get better; all I can do is keep looking and hope for the best. That's just the way it is. In school I was told that you have to go to university to get a good job, and considering all the stress of exams and applying and everything else just to get into uni, by the end you start to feel like you've been conned. You've been suckered into a scam and three years later all you have to show for it is a piece of paper and thousands of pounds worth of debt. They told me that if I get in and work hard everything will be ok. Well it's not. I'm furious at those bastards back in school for that, those fucking liars! All of those teachers and careers guidance people all on the payroll of the nearest university, selling their stock on to be chewed up and spat out, you unbelievable shits. They never expected much from me in school, and I was looking forward to going back and gloating, rubbing my degree in their faces and boasting about my masters, but what's the point? They know that a masters is just another useless achievement when you can't even get work in Tesco." (written in 2009)

Since this was written I found work in the same shop (although in a different branch) I worked in when I was in school doing my A-Levels, which essentially means I went through 3 years of education and six monthes of poverty just to get the same job I had in the first place. I since quit the masters course I was doing, not because of money but because it turned out to be more of an evening class where anyone with the right amount of money could get a masters degree, no matter what level of experiance, talent or previouse education in the subject they had. But that's a differnt blog. I started as a Christmas temp in the store, and continued to cling to any temporary position that came up for about a year until I finally got a perminant contract in a position that suited my lifestyle. I'm still struggling to get by, but at least I have the means to support myself now.

I know I sound like a big victim in this blog, even though I've been luckier then most, but I really do feel like I was let down, and I know this must be how a hell of a lot of young people in the UK must feel, and I don't blame them for rioting. It may not have been a very sensible or appropriate response, but they have been failed, and they felt the need to fight back, at anyone.

 Now, I suspect what they meant was, "Think what we tell you but do it in your own words." Too late. When I was 13, I began to question everything and soon the total absurdity of religion became apparent.

 Because I have been "encouraged" (forced) to read the bible many times, it was easy for me to see the contradictions in the book, what christians professed… Blame it on my parents. They always told me to "think for myself". I doubt they ever considered what would happen if I really did that.

 Now, I suspect what they meant was, "Think what we tell you but do it in your own words." Too late. When I was 13, I began to question everything and soon the total absurdity of religion became apparent.

 Because I have been "encouraged" (forced) to read the bible many times, it was easy for me to see the contradictions in the book, what christians professed to believe, and how they lived.

 When I refused to go with them to their church, they said they "Would make me go."

 I asked them, "How are you going to make me? How will forcing me to attend church change my mind?" Already, their attitude was starting to harden me against everything else they would tell me.

 Their next idea was to have their minister talk to me. I told them it was a waste of everyone's time. They persisted and had him come to the house to "Talk some sense into me." (as if they ever works for anyone) After about 15 minutes, of him quoting the bible to me and me pointing out that he was either wrong in his quotes or showing him how it said something else in another place, he became very angry and told me I was going to hell. I suspect it was because I knew the bible better than he did and was, at age 13, able to prove how ridiculous his arguments were.

 I told him, "If there is a Hell I'll see you there. Save me a nice place, OK?" He said I was an impertinent, disrespectful child. By then, I was angry myself and for the first time, I told a christian that he was a hypocrite, a liar, and a fool. My parents insisted that I apologize. I refused and left the room to a lot of yelling and threats.

 For the next four years, I heard about this at least once a week. So the night I graduated high school, I left my parent's home and didn't see them again for well over a year. By then, I had completed a couple of years of college, which fortunately, I was able to pay for myself. I was entering the army and wanted to try to make peace with them, but had to listen to the same old recriminations and arguments again.

 The next time I saw them was two years later when I was getting married. After several years of an on-again, off-again relationship they finally agreed to just not discuss it any more. I'd like to say that worked, but slowly subtle hints became outright condemnation. Then I took a job transfer from Ohio to Arizona, so family meetings were rare enough to become occasions for something other than contention.

 What did I learn? Even your family can turn against you if you refuse to share in their illusions.

Although my mother is catholic, she's a 'light' catholic, in the sense that she thinks that there is a god, but he hardly has something to do with the universe we live in; she's something I like to see as a catholic-colored pantheist.

My father, in analogy, would be a catholic-colored agnostic, he finds comfort in the idea and is attached to the festivities, but not very religious by himself.

 There is a story told by my mother that, I think, reflects pretty well how I think. My parents' house has 2 floors, with the bedrooms upstairs, and my father used to have his examin room downstairs for walk-by patients (he's a physician with a residence in anesthetics). She says that one time, when I was around 4 or 5, some relatives came to visit. So, my mother tells that once she was talking to my aunt in the kitchen downstairs when my cousin (she's the same age as me) walk down the stairs crying 'Mommy, I want to go home!... My cousin (me) doesn't want me here no more!' My mom and my aunt were like 'Uh? what you mean?' and then I walk down the stairs behind her. 'Nonono... my cousin (she) is a lier!' My mom and aunt are like 'and why is that?', so I reply 'It is because she says that downbelow is Hell, but I say she's wrong, that downbelow is my dad's examing room!'

 I guess that says it all, don't you think?

 anyways, for those who haven't, it's freaking worth the watch -- if you have the time. he just makes stuff up like "how did noah get dinosaurs on the ark? well, he brought BABY DINOSAURS." the audience is like "oooooh, yeah. baby dinosaurs. it all makes sense now!"

 his under-rehearsed one liners are also pretty classic.

 anyways, i heard he's in jail for tax evasion or something.

Fourth of July celebrations can make us feel like it's practically an American obligation to enjoy the outdoors, fireworks and, of course, delicious food. And when it comes to this patriotic holiday, tradition is everything.
As early as 1777, large dinners were being organized in Philadelphia to celebrate the one year anniversary of American independence. During the years that followed, Fourth of July celebrations only grew, evolving into a mix of public and private celebrations -- often conducted outdoors. On July 9, 1812 The Maryland Gazette recounted "a handsome dinner prepared by Mr. Isaac Parker, on the College [St. John's] Green, under the shade of that majestic Poplar."
Although we might not mark our community events by specific trees, most of us certainly get into the Fourth of July spirit with an outdoor celebration (or two) in the company of friends and family. If you are focused on eating well, though, Independence Day can be a minefield of sodium, fat and calories, served up on an American flag plate. However, you can have your (red, white and blue) cake and eat it too -- by making healthy choices.
We turned to the experts to put together a list of some Fourth of July classics, each with a healthful twist. Check out these ideas to get inspired for the long holiday weekend.
Burgers and hot dogs seem to be present at any bonafide Fourth of July cookout. Librarian Ameritus at American University, James Heintze, told The Huffington Post that our modern BBQ is steeped in history. "The foods that were served [at early Fourth of July celebrations] depended on what was available locally. Up in New York and Boston, barbecue grilling was very popular ... around 1810 they were already barbecuing large amounts of beef and pork." Unfortunately, many pre-prepared hot dogs and hamburgers aren't very healthy. An average ground beef patty contains 230 calories and around 16 grams of fat. Roberta Larson Duyff, registered dietician and author of "American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide," says that the key to making these dishes healthier is simply looking for leaner options -- and avoiding unnecessarily fattening toppings. Simple Suggestions: 1) If you want to stick with beef hot dogs and burgers always look for lean meat -- at least 90 percent lean. 2) Skip toppings like cheese, bacon and mayo and substitute them for plant-based options, which contain phytonutrients. Registered dietitian and co-founder of AppforHealth.com, Katherine Brooking, suggests adding a slice of avocado (a healthy fat) for texture and taste. 3) If you're not attached to beef, try a turkey burger, portabello mushroom or a piece of grilled fish -- all of which will save you calories.
Meat chili is another delicious -- but not always nutritious -- cookout food. One cup of meat chili can add up to around 300 calories and 13 grams of fat, especially if you make it from a can. Food writer Gary Allen calls chili, "one of the greatest Mexican dishes never invented in Mexico," explaining that it originated in Texas, gaining popularity during the mid-19th century. Luckily, this is a southern treasure that's easy to adjust if you don't want to miss out on it. Simple Suggestions: 1) Duyff suggests going vegetarian -- or at least cutting down on the meat. "[Chili is] a great way to fit beans into your meal!" 2) Buy lean meats -- such as lean, ground turkey -- instead of traditional ground beef.
Potato salad is often synonymous with "drenched in mayo." According to Allen, this is because the dish didn't gain mainstream popularity until commercial mayonnaise became available in 1907! Even home-prepared potato salads are often worse calorically than a hamburger! Simple Suggestions: 1) Cut down on mayo or use a substitute. Brooking suggests olive oil. 2) Add more ingredients! Gussy the dish up with nutrients using celery, green peppers and red peppers. 3) One of Duyff's favorite alternatives to the traditional potato salad is a sweet potato version, which will provide partygoers with dietary fiber, Vitamin B6 and potassium! "Just don't make it too mushy," says Duyff.
It's all too easy to finish off an entire bowl of chips and dip before you know it -- especially at a party. Filling up on chips can be a dangerous habit, though as one 8-ounce bag of salted chips often contains upwards of 1,000 calories and 80 grams of fat. Mayo-laden dips aren't much better. Simple Suggestions: 1) Stay away from deep-fried chips. Instead opt for a baked version -- or make your own whole wheat pita chips in the oven! 2) If you want to skip chips all together, Duyff suggests using vegetable dippers, such as hicama, which will still give you that crunchy texture. 3) When it comes to dip, cut out the mayonnaise. "Bean dips or just a tomato salsa are great [options]," says Brooking. She also suggests substituting greek yogurt for sour cream or mayo if you're making your own dip.
French fries are an American favorite that pop up everywhere from sporting events to college dorm rooms. The first printed recipe for french fries appeared in a French revolution-era cookbook, "La Cuisine Republicaine" -- so serving them at an Independence Day event seems quite appropriate. According to Allen, these "pomme frites" were also a personal favorite of Thomas Jefferson. 10 processed french fries (baked in your home oven) contain around 67 calories and 3 grams of fat. (But let's be honest -- who ever eats just 10?) Simple Suggestions: 1) Brooking's #1 tip? "Don't drown them in salt! Sodium is really a problem for people these days," she says. Add minimal salt or skip it altogether in favor of herbs such as rosemary. 2) Make your own. Simply cut up a potato (or sweet potato) into sticks and put them on a tray with a little bit of olive oil. Then stick the tray in the oven and bake until the sticks begin to brown (usually around 20 to 30 minutes).
When the sun in blazing -- which it often is on the Fourth of July -- cold drinks play an role important at any party. Historically, fruit punch and lemonade were two of the most popular, Independence Day choices (along with wine). "In 1855, lemonade cost a penny a glass in New York City on the Fourth of July. And it was often served in wooden pails," says Heintze. We may have moved away from wooden pails, but fruit punch and lemonade are still summertime classics. Unfortunately, they often are loaded down with artificial flavoring and extra sugar. "People are going to drink what's available, so offer [healthy] drinks if you're having a party," says Duyff. Simple Suggestions: 1) Fill up pitchers of ice water garnished with fresh, in-season fruit -- such as peach slices and raspberries. Make it carbonated water for an extra kick! 2) Squeeze your own lemonade and leave the excessive sugar out. 3) Brooking suggests offering guests some unsweetened, iced tea.
Although the traditional American apple pie is actually of English origin, it's still an insanely delicious Fourth of July staple. According to Heintze, pies of all kinds were popular at early Independence Day celebrations -- especially fruit pies because of the summer season. One slice of prepared apple pie has around 400 calories and 19 grams of fat in it. However, "you can't mess with Grandma's pie," says Duyff. So instead -- tweak it! Simple Suggestions: 1) Transform the crust. "Crusts are really high in calories and saturated fats," says Duyff. Substitute traditional shortening for a trans-fat free vegetable one. Whole wheat crusts can also be purchased at a grocery store. And stick to one crust. 2) Make your own filling. Avoid the sugary syrups often present in canned fillings and cut down on the sugar present in your homemade recipe. 3) Think outside the box and make fruit pies that use fresh, seasonal ingredients such as berries and peaches.
It turns out that even the Founding Fathers had a love affair with this sweet treat. "Thomas Jefferson had brought [ice cream] recipes back from France and George Washington bought an ice cream maker in 1784," says Allen. And according to Heintze, ice cream really took off in the DC-area after Dolly Madison (first lady to James Madison) gave it her seal of approval. Often, Independence Day celebrations were marked with city-wide, free ice cream. Today, one serving of vanilla ice cream contains 7 grams of fat and 137 calories. Simple Suggestions: 1) Opt for a sugar free or reduced fat ice cream. Breyer's offers a variety of healthier options. 2) Add some fruit! "[Traditional] ice creams were made with fresh fruits available from gardens," says Heintze. "Cherries and raspberries were extremely popular." To emulate the country's origins, add some fresh fruit to your ice cream -- or as Brooking suggests, use fresh fruit in a homemade greek yogurt pop! 3) Sorbets are another great (low-calorie) option.

Bio: Elijah Andrus is a representational artist and art educator living in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area. Originally from Lock Haven PA, Eli earned his B.S. Ed. in Art Education from Millersville University and an M.S.Ed. from Wilkes University. He has exhibited his work in solo, group and juried shows throughout Pennsylvania and has numerous pieces in private collections. Over the past decade, he has taught in two outstanding school districts and a world class art museum. He has had the privilege of being a guest speaker and panelist for the art department at Penn State University. He has additionally worked for the Philadelphia Museum of Art as a consultant, guest presenter and teaching artist.
Artist Statement: My art is born of a need to aesthetically respond to the world and the human condition. My paintings and drawings function much like free form poems or essays circling around a central theme but ultimately reaching no definitive conclusion. Some bodies of work are developed as a unified series while others fit loosely into thematic or conceptual groupings. Through my work, I seek to explore concepts of psychology, history, spirituality, symbolism and metaphysics. I find myself drawn to subjects for their formal and conceptual potential. My hope is that the viewer will come away from my work with a sense of introspection and mystery.
Teaching Philosophy: I believe teaching art and making art go hand in hand. For me, one could not exist without the other. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the privilege of sharing my passion for art with learners of all ages. My experience working with professionals and students in award winning school districts and world-class museums has greatly impacted who I am as an educator and an artist.

HYDE PARK – It's done.
The Culinary Institute of America's $19 million Marriott Pavilion theater and conference center hosted its first group of students this week — a dozen injured veterans who took a class on cooking fundamentals.
"I think it's beautiful. State-of-the-art electronics in the room," said Byron Ballard, 47, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., a United States Air Force veteran who took the class though a partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, a veterans group.
Workers this week were putting finishing touches to the building. The school will hold a grand opening for students Wednesday with a talk by renowned chef Ferran Adrià, according to the school.
The Pavilion has an 800-seat theater with a balcony and a ground floor conference room that seats 300 people. The conference room has a demonstration kitchen and retractable walls. It can be rearranged into four smaller conference rooms and a foyer, said Stephan Hengst, a spokesman for the school.
Outside the conference area hangs a 33-foot long, 8-foot tall piece of artwork called "Gastrotypographicalassemblage."
It was created by Lou Dorfsman in 1964 for the CBS network's employee cafeteria, where it hung from 1964-89. In 1989, the cafeteria was remodeled and the artwork was thrown out. Dorfsman was creative director for CBS for 40 years, said Hengst.
"It's a fantastic example of mid-century art," he said.
Nick Fasciano, a designer who helped build the piece, rescued it from the garbage and it stayed in his Long Island basement for about 25 years. Many of the letters had to be repaired and all were re-sanded and refinished. For years, he tried to find a home for the piece. It is now on display at the CIA, Hengst said.
The large theater, called the Ecolab Auditorium, will host the CIA's graduations, which occur every three weeks at the school, as well as other large events. Large reprints of 16th-century artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo's "The Four Seasons" decorate the auditorium walls.
"Every graduation will now be held here," said Sharon Matyas, director of special events for the school and interim building manager, during a recent press tour.
The school plans to bring its larger conferences to the building in early 2015, Hengst said.
Raised gardens outside the building will supply materials to infuse tea and make cocktail bitters, among other things, and fermenting ingredients for the on-campus brewery slated to open around fall 2015 in the soon-to-be remodeled student center, Hengst said.
"Throughout the year, there will be a variety of events, both public and private, that will be held in this space," Hengst said.
One such event will be the fall Hudson Valley Restaurant Week kickoff, he said.
"Before, we never had enough space. We barely had enough room to accommodate all of our students," he said.
The school has 2,700 students in its associate's and bachelor's degree programs.

Riders from my barn just went to a local show at another barn. There was everything from coats and rat catcher shirts and rubber boots, to anything you could imagine, including one Saddlebred rider in full turnout. As the weather was warm, we wore black polos, tan breeches, tall boots, etc.
If you look neat and put together, you should be fine.

http://www.the-brits.com/latest/news/protest-freeski-slopestyle-championships-review Protest Freeski Slopestyle Championships - Review BALL AND ROWLANDS CROWNED KING AND QUEEN OF PROTEST BRITISH SLOPESTYLE CHAMPS The BRITS Snow & Music Festival, 23rd - 30th March, Tignes, France Wednesday 27th March- Day three of the British Freeski Championships saw perfect conditions for the Protest Slopestyle Champs in Tignes. Blue skies greeted the riders and the sun continued to shine all day as Julian Ball (28, Val d'Isère) and 12 year old Madi Rowlands (Rochester) threw down their best moves to fight off strong opposition and become slopestyle king and queen. Julian Ball impressed the crowds and judges time after time as he pulled off big technical tricks all day including a massive cork 900 followed by a switch cork 720 with a tail grab, a switch 360 on the step up and another switch cork 720 on his first run of the final. His solid riding continued into the rails with two smooth 270 on, 270 offs, switching it up in the middle. Biting at his heels was young Michael Rowlands (15, Rochester) who was consistently spinning both ways and on his first run of the final stomped a stylish switch 540 tail grab followed by a 720 nose grab, a 360 on the step up then spinning left into a sweet 720 on the final big kicker. He mixed it up on the rails and rode a smooth 270 out of the kink rail, but it was just not enough to catch Ball. His solid run was enough to nudge out Tom Coe (20, Norwich), however, who held onto a podium position with a good variety of tricks including an effortless switch rodeo 540 japan and an inverted cork 720. But it was his slick rail riding which clinched him third place, just behind Rowlands. Ball, who also came third in the BRITS Bangers & Cash Rail Jam on Monday, was stoked with his win: "I am over the moon and I had a great day today. The course definitely favoured my riding style. The guys who had the double tricks couldn't really pull them out of the bag and conditions were quite slow for some of the smaller guys. I tried to change it up a bit and do some tricks that the other guys weren't doing to stand out a bit and tried to go big. I was really pleased with my runs and I will take the win for sure!" For the girls it was Madi Rowlands, younger sister of Michael, who took the top spot as she stomped her landings and impressed on the rails. In the absence of Olympic slopestyle hopeful Katie Summerhayes, Rowlands took full advantage and nailed a slick 900, the only girl to do so, and easily pulled off several 720s. She also had a solid run on the rails riding switch onto both the box and the first rail. Anna Vincenti (17, Edinburgh), came in second and also ramped up in the female riding standards being the only woman to ride the step up. She also stomped her rails with clean smooth rail riding on her second final run. Reigning Protest British Slopestyle champion Chloe Hardy (24, Oxford) couldn't manage to retain her title despite two consistent runs and some strong rail riding. Morzine seasonnaire Hardy rode switch onto the box and rail, looking super solid, but she couldn't quite compete with Rowlands and Vincenti and was nudged into third place. Rowlands, who has already had an impressive BRITS so far, said: "I am pretty stoked. I was happy with my run and I would say I got it how I wanted to get it. The course was good, the weather was perfect and I am really happy." The Protest British Slopestyle Championships course consisted of two sections, the first four kickers represented 60% of the marks and the lower rail section made up the remaining 40%.

NY Imam: No Plans To Meet Terry Jones
Looks like Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who said he wouldn't burn Qurans on Saturday so long as he got a meeting with the Muslim cleric who wants to build an Islamic center near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, may not have his Saturday meeting after all.
The Associated Press reports:
NEW YORK (AP) - The imam leading an effort to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site says he has no plans to meet with a Florida pastor who had threatened to burn copies of the Quran.
But Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf says in the statement Friday that he is open to seeing anyone "seriously committed to pursuing peace."
Rauf's statement furthers the carnival funhouse feel of this story.
The Florida imam who has been negotiating with Jones, Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, has clearly left the impression publicly that he had arranged a Saturday meeting with Rauf and Jones.
Reuters reported:
Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, told ABC he had not promised that the proposed Islamic center in New York would be moved. Musri said he had only agreed to make contact with the New York organizers, setup a meeting and make the case for shifting the site.
"The meeting will happen," Musri told ABC. But he added that Jones "stretched and exaggerated my statements ... I told him I'm willing to make contact as an imam to the imam in New York, Muslim to Muslim, and ask on his behalf to schedule a meeting."
It would be very hard to blame anyone at this point who might say "wake me when it's over."

Tips for pregnant women in Vegas
Avoid heels if you're walking the Strip – you'll need comfortable shoes as you hop from hotel to hotel.
Use taxis and the trams between hotels when possible to avoid exhaustion.
Get to buffets during off hours to avoid waiting in long lines while hunger hits.
Ask the pit boss to put a "no smoking" sign on the gambling tables, or wear a scarf to cover your nose to avoid inhaling smoke.
If you're shy and don't want to flaunt your baby bump poolside, go to outlets on the Strip to treat yourself to a much-deserved new outfit.
Spoil yourself at one of the many spas – get a facial or check around to see if any offer prenatal massages.
Carry a water bottle, especially during the hotter months, to avoid dehydrating.
Bet on your baby. Place a bet with your hubby on whether you're having a boy or a girl, or who can guess closest to the due date! Winnings can go to the baby's future college fund!
No matter how much you win, do not name your baby after the pit boss, dealer or hotel. Your child will not look kindly on being named Excalibur or Slots-A-Fun.

Who am I? A fifteen year old beauty who's too full of herself.
What do I love the most about GG? Apart from the obvious thing (Chair), Kristen Bell as her voice, Blake Lively as Serena, Leighton Meester as Blair, and Mathew Settle as Rufus. They all make watching GG worth it.
Fashion? Where fashion is concerned, I am infatuated. I love Marchesa, BCBG Max Azria, Zac Posen, Valentino, Heatheratte, Oscar de la Renta, Betsey Johnson, Eli Saab...
Other fandoms? Heroes, Smallville, Twilight Books, The Olympians.
As far as I'm concerned, everyone hates loves me. If you wanna be added to those, pm me, and you'll see. =)

Where the heck did the nicknames go?! BRING THEM BACK.
Serana: No revenge is worth the calories, B. Blair: Now would be a good time to start shutting your pie hole, Serena.
He so hits Blair. How very Jersey Shore. Hey, Vanessa, why aren't you there!? Let's just pray to our lucky stars that Chuck will be back with a rock.

Ron Philbeck's Profile
I began making pots in 1992 after returning home from NC State University where I studied mathematics and horticulture.
I learned the basics of making pots by attending various local community colleges. Later I attended John C. Campbell Folk School, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and Penland School. Early on I also received generous help from Tom Gray in Seagrove NC. I have taken workshops with Clary Illian, Linda Christianson, Mary Law, Ayumi Horie, Will Ruggles and Douglass Rankin just to name a few. I have also attended countless demonstration type workshops.
I set up my Pottery on family land here in Shelby in 1994 and built my salt kiln in 1996 when I started making pots full time. I have 4 studio sales a year and have a good local following.
I have always been dedicated to making strong…

Re: The Best of Both Worlds, Part One
At least Shelby grows by the end of the second part. She emerges as both competent and more likable, putting the mission's success above her leadership ambitions.
As for the episode itself, no cliffhanger I've ever seen on television has compared to this one.
Another thing: Don't get me wrong, I like Riker, but after BOBW he should have been made Captain or written out of the series. BOBW marked the summit of his character development, where he emerged from Picard's shadow, becoming a great captain in his own right. He had nowhere to go after this but down. This was the end of great Riker and the beginning of neutered Riker.

Eh, I wouldn't call any of that particularly "deep" myself. It was still all very surface-level, comic booky stuff.
We're comparing comic book movies and therefore referencing emotional depth within that context.
Obviously, as everyone is aware, there are films that present significantly more depth of various kinds than any film of this type. That said, even the greatest films often build on the same basic tropes that we see in genre films, so there is so huge chasm separating them. It's just a question of degree, ambition, subtlety, etc.

I don't think it is incredibly different. It's just not an especially effective take on the same basic formula.

Active Exposure Pathway Mitigation Measures (AEPMM) that are part of a Permanent Solution, Temporary Solution or Remedy Operation Status require the use of remote monitoring technology to provide immediate notification to both MassDEP and the owner and operator of the building protected by the AEPMM upon failure of the AEPMM, as the result of loss of power, mechanical failure or other significant disruption of the effectiveness of the system (pursuant to 310 CMR 40.1025(3)(d) and 40.1026(3)(d), respectively).
Notification must also be provided upon restart of the system.
Notifications to MassDEP of AEPMM shutdowns and restarts are to be made either by email, text messaging, or telephone (voicemail):
Email: email@example.com
Text: firstname.lastname@example.com
Telephone: (617) 292-5972
Initial Device Registration
At the time of installation a new AEPMM system, you must contact MassDEP at firstname.lastname@example.com and provide the following information for each AEPMM installed:
Event Notification
The following information must be emailed, texted or called in to the department by the remote telemetry system in the specified format whenever an AEPMM experiences a notification event (at a minimum, at any system shutdown or restart).
Site RTN
Device Number (01, 02, etc)
Event Description (Start, Shutdown, etc)
Event Date: YYYYMMDD
Event Time: HH:MM (24 hour format)
Notification Format
*** IMPORTANT! When you send a notification, USE THIS FORMAT ONLY:
Subject: Device Notification
Message: "Site RTN","Device Number","Event Description","Event Date","Event Time"
Please use CSV Format (comma separated values) with each value in quotes. For example, a text message notification of a shutdown of device number 01 belonging to RTN 1-12345 at 7:25 PM of June 20, 2015 would look like:
Please provide only one notification per line if sending multiple notifications at once, for example:
