Really nice texture and lighly sweet taste. I omitted the nutmeg (personal preference) and used "Smart Balance Margarine" in place of the shortening (again, personal preference). I doubled the recipe since I was making for a large event. I had to add a smidge more flour, but not much. I got about 14 dozen, that's 7 dozen 1 1/2" cookies per recipe. Worked great. Thanks for a nice recipe.
Great, soft cookie recipe - it was very easy to work with and very tasty, too! I also substituted cinnamon for the nutmet. Works great!
These cookies are really good and they are soft. We like soft cutout cookies and recipes for them are hard to find. Also the dough was easy to work with. Our family loved them too!

Rajesh Garg
Born: Punjab State, India
Age: 37
Primary language: Punjabi, also English, Hindi
Work: Technical adviser for fuel systems at Cummins Inc.
Education: Purdue University, Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.
Family: Wife, Priyanka; two children, Riddhi, 11 and Nitya, 5.
Hobbies: I love to be outdoors. I play tennis and I run as well. I've done five half-marathons so far. I like to read newspapers to keep up on current events throughout the world.
Why did you come to the United States?
I came here 13 years ago to go to school at Purdue.
How and when did you come to live in Columbus?
I came to Columbus eight years ago to work for Cummins.
Tell me about your work.
We develop new products for future engines to meet emissions standards and improve the fuel economy. We also support current products. For five years I worked on the engine side, but now I focus on fuel systems.
What do you like best about your job?
The best part is finding solutions for problems and working in areas where no one has worked before. We don't know the solution to start with, but being able to find it, the innovation is very exciting. We also have great teams at Cummins, which makes it a very pleasant environment.
What were some of your first impressions of the U.S.?
I had been to Germany, but it is very different than the United States. The first thing I found is that you need a car for everything and that was kind of a surprise. Everything seemed very big, but once I settled down, it is pretty convenient. When I came here, I was 24 and did not have a driver's license, so I had to learn to drive and that was hard, but now I wonder what I would do without a car.
What were some of the most difficult things to adjust to?
The lack of public transport and that everything is so far away. You can't really walk and do daily jobs like going to the post office or for groceries. Nothing is nearby.
How have people reacted to you in Columbus?
Since I had already been in Indiana for five years, I already knew some people at Cummins from my time at Purdue, so it was very easy for me. I knew who to talk to and how to find things here, so my time at Purdue helped me with the transition. Cummins is very diverse and I have never had an issue with anybody. It is very welcoming and I feel proud to be in Indiana. This is a very vibrant town and there are so many activities going on all of the time. It's difficult to find the time to do all of the activities.
What do you miss most about your home country?
The main thing we miss is the family because most of them are still in India. We have a lot of Indians in Columbus and do a lot of activities here, still the local way of doing things in the Indian setting is always different. I have one brother and one sister and an extended family with a lot of uncles and cousins. We miss mainly the Indian weddings, because we can't just pick up and go to them. In my country you remain close to your extended family, so when you hear about a wedding you want to go, but the geographical distance is too far.
You have been in this country for a long time. How do you stay connected to your home culture friends/family?
We do a lot of cultural activities in Columbus through the Indian Association and a lot of sports events, as many as 15 to 20 a year. That really helps keep us connected with our culture. We have a group of seven or eight families that meet at least once or twice a month, so we stay busy with that socialization. We go back to India once every two years.
What advice do you have for people coming to Columbus?
I would suggest for them to talk to co-workers or neighbors and learn about the local customs. Since Columbus is very diverse, you can always find somebody from your country or a neighboring country that is close to your culture. There are a lot of ethnic organizations that can help increase your exposure to a lot of people. There are a lot of places in the local community that can be a starting point, such as the Visitors Center or CAMEO (the Columbus Area Multi-Ethnic Organization). CAMEO is having their annual meeting this month and there will be a lot of people from different cultures there. The main thing is to ask for help if you need it here and I'm sure you will get it.
What is your favorite place to visit and why?
We like to go back to India. We like to stay close to family, but we try to visit other places, also. The kids love to go and we love to go back and see family and friends … and the food. Although we have a lot of Indian food here, but the spices are different. It's tailored to the local tastes. The social setting in India is very different, so whenever we go there we try to visit different places so they can see more. The last time we went to the Taj Mahal, but it's very challenging in two or three weeks of vacation.

Weird filter gunk and coloration
I noticed for the past week, theres been these green spots on my whisper power filter. I dont have a pic, but its a whisper power filter ( the one that creates the small waterfall like motion). The best way i can discribe it is; imagine you have a whisper power filter and its all white (instead of its normal black color) then where the water comes out into the tank, get a green marker and put dots in that area and thats how mine looks. What the heck is up with the green spots? I also noticed that the tank is getting a weird smell.
is it something i should be worried about?
Assuming you have not used any medications that would turn water blue then I would not be alarmed about spots. The smell however is usually a signal that filter needs rinsed out in aquarium water and that perhaps maint. needs stepped up. :wink:
It may be green spot algae. Does it wipe off fairly easily or is it really hard to scrape off?
Yeah, sounds like green spot algae to me as well. It's not really that dire, as it's slow growing and rarely takes over a tank. Some amount of algae is to be expected in all aquariums. If you're seeing it spring up/spread often though it's definitely a sign of a nutrient problem though.
As for the smell, is it a rotten egg smell? If so, you need to do gravel vacs as your substrate is becoming anaerobic. Here's a recent thread on that:
If not that smell, is it very musty? If so, perhaps the spots are cyanobacteria, which is similar to algae. It's very stinky stuff, and again, a sign of a nutrient problem.
If it's neither of those, it's probably decaying food and/or plant matter. Do a thorough gravel vac and water change, rinse the decorations lightly in tank water and make sure you're not overfeeding. The best solution to all of these problems is regular tank maintenance :D
yup,everything everyone else said. :)
okay well, i tried to wipe the freen stuff and it was VERY wasy to wipe off. The smell smells nothing like rotten eggs but i think it was due to the previous dying amazon sword. but i just got to bulbs and ferts for it so it should be good. Today is a day of tank maintenance ( once a week every friday). Im using a whisper power filter so do i have to change the blue sponge like filter thing? I was told not to because it contain much of the bacteria but its starting to clog
What model filter is it?
You can remove and rinse/replace the sponge. If you're rinsing it make sure to do it in lukewarm, dechlorinated water.
The most important thing to do is not to change everything at the same time. If you've got a sponge and a filter insert with carbon, only change one, and then the next week change the other. If you've only got a sponge in your filter, you should probably look at adding more filtration media.
what do recommend as the kind of filter media?
I use HBH Aqua-Pure filter fiber. You can buy mesh filter media bags and stuff it full of fiber. I use old plastic filter cartridge frames, stick 'em in those mesh bags, then add some filter fiber.
Ive also noticed the gavel turning a brown color as well. I was told it is brown algae. How can i get rid of this? And how can i make my water less acidic? the PH is about 6.3-6.5

I should've known not to go anywhere near Four Loko the moment I tried to buy it. The AM-PM gas station on Delridge stocked SEVEN flavors of this deadly brew. That in itself was a bad sign: seven is a number of power. Foreboding swirled about me on this October evening, doom dripping from a starlit sky. Seven heads on the dragon of Revelation: seven seals and seven trumpets. Seven points on the Star of Babylon: wicked city, wicked star. Too much eschatology was going on; I felt trapped in a Dan Brown novel.
Four Loko: Dan Brown's chosen elixir.
Yet I had no choice; duty called. I picked up all seven flavors of Four Loko: Fruit Punch, Orange Blend, Lemonade, Lemon- Lime, Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, and Loko Uva. These magical elixirs clocked in at 12% ABV, and cost $2.59 for each 24-ounce can. Keeping in mind that a bottle of wine is roughly 25 ounces, and sports the same alcohol content, I could roughly assume that what I was purchasing was basically a half case of wine. Unfortunately, Chateau Mouton Rothschild doesn't come in blue.
I hauled my purchase up to the counter. The cashier patiently scanned all of the cans. A woman in line behind me quickly took notice of my dreadful crop. "You don't drink all of that," she warned. "That shit's been on the news. Don't let me see you on the news tomorrow." I quickly assured her that I wasn't, in fact, going to drink all of the cans of Four Loko.
Then the cashier had to put his two cents in. "Don't drink ANY of it," he told me.
"Now wait a second," I said, "You just SOLD THAT SHIT TO ME."
The cashier shrugged. I left. I threw the Four Loko onto the floor on the passenger side of my car and took off.The cans rolled around on the floorboards, sloshing heavily. The Southwest Precinct of the Seattle Police Department is next door to the Delridge AM- PM. I was driving. I was sky high. I soon realized that if I were pulled over by the police, my creativity would be stretched thin trying to explain what, exactly, I was doing. So I pulled over and sequestered the alcoholic horde in the truck.
When I got home, I giddily unwrapped this prize. Lined up on the kitchen counter, the cans cut a garish spectrum, from Fruit Punch to Loko Uva, a spectrum of fucked- uppedness. I cracked each one open in its turn, and began the taste test.
Here is a convenient bullet- pointed list of the seven Four Loko flavors I tried:
• Fruit Punch: tastes like Hawaiian Punch, feels like you got punched by a Hawaiian.
• Orange Blend: like the prototypical "orange soda" flavor, but synthetic, like if Minute Maid soda had been developed by Nazi scientists.
• Lemonade: surprisingly good, considering that this product is actively trying to KILL CHILDREN.
• Lemon- Lime Flavor: like the waste runoff from the Sprite plant.
• Watermelon Flavor: like melted Jolly Ranchers--Jolly Ranchers that were melted in HELL.
• Blue Raspberry Flavor: not too bad actually, like an Otter Pop with the thin burn of illegal drag- racing fuel in the finish.
• Loko Uva: grape soda mixed with Sterno.
Being a chemist by trade, I didn't stop at a mere taste test. Four Loko is more than just an alcoholic beverage--it's also a performance- enhancing drug. With extracts of guarana, taurine, and caffeine, Four Loko is like Red Bull mixed with cotton candy mixed with Mad Dog 20/20 mixed with SATANIC RITUAL. A molecular gastronomist could have created this shit. In fact, if Grant Achatz had developed Four Loko, it would command $200 per can, and yuppies would be lined up around the block to get some. But Grant Achatz DIDN'T invent Four Loko; some chump did. The line between fine dining and convenience store bullshit continues to blur.
So I wanted to see how wired, and how drunk, a whole can of Four Loko could make me. To this end, I chugged a half can each of the flavors that seemed least likely to make me murder several children: Lemonade and Blue Raspberry. Being drunk wasn't the problem: The buzz I got was roughly equivalent to maybe a pitcher of PBR. This amount of alcohol is easily processed, even by livers that resemble a gas station toilet brush. No, the problem is the caffeine. Within minutes the room started to spin, and my eyeballs felt like flies were crawling lazily across them, like one of those starving African kids that Sally Struthers pimps relentlessly.
Soon I noticed other things: everything looked too crisp, but not in a good way, like how news anchors' faces look on a high-definition television. My dogs kept eyeing me with concerned glances. What the fuck was in this thing?
Taurine, AKA 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is the major constituent of BILE. That certainly makes sense: the finishing note of note of the Four Loko flavors is puke. At least it tastes the same going down AND coming back up. But taurine also has a use in the lab: sulfonic acid, if anyone cares, can be used to extract selenomethionine from a wide variety of plant matrices, including yeast. But who the fuck cares about the selenomethionine content of yeast? Answer: yeast manufacturers. They grow the yeast in a medium which contains 3000 parts per million selenite (a form of the element selenium). The yeast metabolizes the selenite in the growing medium to the amino acid selenomethionine. Then the selenium- enriched yeast is baked into bread. Then you eat some bread, and you get lots of selenomethionine in your diet. And selenomethionine is absorbed very efficiently by the human body.
Why do you need selenium in your diet? Selenium is a component of glutathione peroxidase, a major antioxidant. So when the chumps on the infomercials talk about antioxidants being "a Pacman for cancer," or any number of other dumbass comparisons those idiots are bound to make, you can think to yourself: "I should bake some bread! Using selenium enriched yeast! Pacman for cancer, hurrah!" I'm sure the ancient Egyptians had Four Loko in mind, and its hefty taurine content, when they invented bread.
So if you want to find out the selenium content of the yeast you use at home, you can probably extract it using Four Loko; 500mg of yeast dissolved in 5mL of Four Loko and extracted for six hours at 85 degrees Celcius should do it. But good luck finding an ICP-MS operator who'll run your fucking Four Loko extracts.
I digress. After I finished my back-of-the-envelope taurine calculations, the shakes came on. I felt nauseous and sugary, like a crack- addled pixie. Strange ideas began streaming through my head. It wasn't altogether unpleasant, though I'd trade a glass of Basil Hayden's on the rocks and a Lorazepam for Four Loko ANY DAY. I constructed a demonic tableau in honor of Four Loko. It didn't help that I kept listening to Morbid Angel. But everyone knows that summoning demons isn't wise; you could end up shirtless, wearing nothing but an apron at Burning Beast. And I didn't want that.
Four Loko compels its consumer to spontaneously construct weird shrines.
So I stopped drinking. That didn't mean I was ready to go to bed, so in the true Halloween spirit I played Castlevania and streamed Paranormal Activity on Netflix. By the time I was done with all of that, I was tired enough to go to bed, but too scared. So I hid in the closet until dawn.
And THAT, college kids, is what Four Loko does to you. Beware!

Artist: Rocky Votolato
Steven Lundquist
Album: True Devotion
Label: Barsuk
Release Date: Tuesday, February 23
Rating (Skip, Stream, or Buy): Buy
Download: "Red River"
Rocky Votolato has always been a plain-spoken and honest songwriter; he's not one to cloak sentiment in heavy-handed metaphor. "Love's a trainwreck/ you're a mistake," he sings on "Portland is Leaving," the second track on 2006's Makers. This emotional undercurrent--loss, followed by sadness and disappointment--runs through his songs. Both Makers and 2007's The Brag and Cuss are filled with images of whiskey and heartbreak, vices that Votolato cherishes for their destructive elements.
That is, until now. Votolato is still a confessional songwriter on True Devotion, but he's confessing to something different here: hope. Votolato, a longtime Seattle resident, stopped touring and writing after Brag and Cuss was released; the anxiety and depression he struggled with for years became overhwelming. During his time off--including nearly a year where he didn't leave his apartment--he wrote and self-recorded the songs that would become True Devotion.His heart seems mended now, but he's not lost his edge, and the emotion portrayed on True Devotion is the rawest and most brutal that Votolato has ever evoked. Whatever it took Votolato to get to this hopeful place, this album shows that the change wasn't easy, and it wasn't clean. There is a lifetime of hurt and regret poured into these songs, starting with the apologetic lyrics of the first track, "Lucky Clover Coin": "For the rest of my life, I'll put your broken pieces back together."
True Devotion is filled with these intimate moments: "That feeling you get/when the wind is blowing/like your whole life is starting over," he sings on "Red River." It's a lovely, gentle album, with twinges of lyrical melancholy backed by smart production. The crescendos--and they are used liberally here--convey Votolato's new sense of hope most effectively. "Instrument" builds progressively as the lyrics do, starting slow and steady, until the line, "I just want to come back home to you again," when the vocals and instrumentals starts to swell with pace and theme. Votolato's voice lifts in pitch as it is doubled with harmony; he strums his guitar with more force and purpose when he sings, "I just want to be free." This careful production might be the most impressive aspect of True Devotion: Votolato has taken care to match the meaning of his words to the tenor of the instrumentals.
The instrumentals mark another shift for Votolato. He's moved away from the Ryan Adams-styled, alt-country twang of The Brag and Cuss to quiet folk. "Don't Be Angry," arguably the best song on the album, sounds unlike anything Votolato has done before. Yes, it's still incredibly heartbreaking, just like all of his songs--"Who's gonna rescue me from myself if you leave?" he sings--but it's also a thought-out composition, much more than just a man and a guitar. With harmonizing vocals and a tambourine keeping the song's beat, it hits all the right notes and all the right emotional chords. The overwhelming presence on this song and the rest of True Devotion is Votolato's steady, simple voice. He sounds strangely calm. There's no near-screaming, no vocals pushed close to the point of breaking like on the title track from Makers.
Any maybe this is the big difference between True Devotion and Votolato's earlier albums. While the songwriter is clearly a solitary man, working through his own thoughts, he doesn't sound lonely anymore. He doesn't wish for darkness--if anything, True Devotion is remarkably light, airy, and inspiring. It's emotionally heavy, but there's a sense of a freedom here. Votolato has finally laid his heavy burdens to rest and created his best album yet.

National blacklist impacting sales of second-hand cellphones
Scarborough store owner says he's turning away five customers a day who have unwittingly bought stolen phones that are blocked by the national blacklist.
Share via Email
Samsung smartphones and iPhones are neatly displayed in the glass counters in Peter Kugan's Markham Rd. shop.
Before the end of September, anyone could come in and sell Kugan a phone or pay to have him unlock one so that it can be connected to any wireless carrier instead of just the one it was originally purchased from.
But that ended when the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association launched its blacklist of stolen phonesin the fall.
Now, when a phone is reported stolen, the carrier will put the phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity number on the national blacklist. Service will be cut and other Canadian carriers won't reconnect it.
Kugan says he only buys used phones from a trusted wholesaler and turns away at least five customers a day who want phones unlocked.
"I don't unlock them. I tell them go to the web site," says Kugan, referring to protectyourdata.ca, the CWTA website that allows users to check up to two IMEI numbers a day against the list. "They don't come back.
"I don't think these people are stealing the phones. They're buying them online," says Kugan. "And when they call the number of the guy they bought it from, the phone is turned off. The seller knows it's a stolen phone and the buyer is going to call back."
Websites like Kijiji and Craigslist have thousands of phones for sale as well as offers to buy ones that have been placed on the blacklist.
Some experts say the phones are being shipped overseas.
Kugan says his company didn't know about the blacklist in the beginning, but found out after customers complained their unlocked phones weren't registering in the network.
Recently, one customer bought an iPhone for $600 through email and paid Kugan to get it unlocked, only to discover it was stolen. When the man went to police and filed a complaint, officers at the division discovered the seller had reported the phone stolen so he could launch an insurance claim.
"Police were able to find the guy right away because they have the contact information," says Kugan. "And the phone has the same serial number.
"But he still didn't get his money. They have to go to court."
Kugan says he gave the customer a refund.
"It's wasting my time, but there's nothing you can do," says Kugan. "There are a lot of stolen phones."

YUM! Brands has been regarded for some time as a play on discretionary spending in China – as part of the shift from exports to domestic consumption. Given that framing, YUM investors are pretty sensitive to changes in data coming out of China. After the market close on Thursday, YUM guided lower on Q4 sales in China. Half of the operating profit in the third quarter came from China, so a forecast for a 4% drop in same-restaurant sales is a big deal.
[Related -Yum! Brands, Inc.(NYSE:YUM): An Attractive Stock To Own Given Potential EPS Growth]
Fig. 1. YUM! Brands price and 1-month historical volatility, 2012-06 – 2012-11. Source: Yahoo!, Condor Options
On Friday, the stock fell almost 10%, giving up all of its gains since early October.
One month option implied volatility (IV) rose 12.5%, and option volume was 670% of its average, trading almost half of the average daily total open interest. Traders were net buyers of premium with a negative directional bias – in other words, there wasn't a contrarian tone to the activity.
The most interesting aspect of options activity on Friday was the way markets treated the price action as a one-off event. As shown in the lower panel of fig. 1, the 1-month historical volatility of the stock jumped to 40% because of the day's price drop. While option implied volatility also rose, the response was more muted. December 70 puts, which traded at about 26% implied volatility at Thursday's close, were priced at 29.7% implied volatility to end Friday. The reaction in January options was even less extreme.
[Related -Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM): What To Watch At China Investor Day]
Further confirming the expectation that today's price movement was a one-time adjustment, option IV skew actually declined slightly. The ratio of January 90% put IV to ATM IV on Thursday was about 1.17; on Friday, the same ratio was 1.10.
Investors may not be eager to buy shares right away: if the stock's drop at the end of the week and month causes managers with large holdings to trim their positions, there could be more downside price action to come. Instead of buying stock at $67, traders can sell the January 62.5 puts for $0.85 and buy the 57.5 puts for $0.25 to limit downside risk. The vertical spread will make a 13% return on capital risked if the stock is at or above $62.50 at January expiration.
If positive economic data from China continues trickling in and YUM rallies in the short-term, investors can take advantage of the expected drop in IV and take profits instead of holding the position until expiration.

First Job:
Serving newspapers at age 12. Started the paper route with about 30 customers and built it up to 100 customers. During the summer months cut lawns. Later sold the paper route for $25.00. Went to work as a dishwasher, short order cook and all-around restaurant worker at age 15. Worked a 44-48 hour week, 7 days per week. First best job I ever held - Enlisted sailor in the Navy.
Hobbies or Special Talents:
Pedal steel guitar player. Classic country music singer

Names of Grandchildren:

Pets (include names):
Priority Issues:
(1) Adoption of the Practioner-Based Educational System, (2) Reform of the Texas Legislature with the adoption of a unicameral system, similar to that of Nebraska and the provinces of Canada, and Australia. (3) Reform of the Texas Criminal Justice System (a) Abolition of the death penalty, (b) Address the drug, alcohol abuse and sexual predators problem. War on Drugs is creating a war of another sort. Too many highway deaths due to drunk driving. Too many sexual predator cases and no one is offering a solution. Propose creating a high level commission of experts in the fields of medicine, chemistry, psycology, law enforcement, members of the clergy, educators, current and past addicts and concerned citizens. Commission would develop a "best practices list" based on how other states and nations deal with these problems. Best practices list would then be submitted to the legislature for action. (c) Address the problem of redivism.
(4) Fill the job skills gap through technical, vocational and trade skills certification offered at community colleges and privately-run trade and technical schools. Critical skills currently needed in Texas include welders, machinist, tool and die workers, diesel engine mechanics and electricians.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Public confidence of the political process and those in politics is at an all-time low. Such low-level confidence couldn't come a worse time historically. At age 73 I come from another generation that still remembers the World War II years, the post war years and all of the stories about the Depression of the 1930s. With that corporate knowledge, I believe I have real and practical solutions to our current political and economic problems. I'm at a time in life where I'm secure in my own skin and economically secure. I'm free to listen, evaluate the proposals of others, and aggressive enough to implement solutions to problems in education, workforce development, public safety and personal economic security.

Dr Justin O'Sullivan
BSc (Hons), PhD
After completing my PhD at The University of Otago with Richard Cannon in 1998, I held postdoctoral positions in the laboratories of Professor Mick Tuite (University of Kent) and Professor Nick Proudfoot (University of Oxford).
I returned to New Zealand in 2004 to take up a faculty position at Massey University, and recently moved to the Liggins Institute.
I was awarded the Life Technologies Award for excellence in molecular biology research in 2010, and a Massey University Early Career Research Medal. My research focuses on the functional consequences of the three-dimensional structure of the nucleus. My group published the first method to determine the global genome interaction network, and described a novel DNA interaction pathway between mitochondria and the nucleus. My group has also utilised modelling approaches to construct three-dimensional maps of the nucleus from interaction data.

Research | Current
- Understanding how genomes are organized in 3-dimensions and the role that epigenetics has in shaping and maintaining this organization. Studies are designed to advance our understanding of the complex inter-relationships between what a cell's DNA codes for (the genotype), the epigenetic code, and the result of the genotype's conditional expression (the phenotype).
- Investigating these problems using a holistic systems biology approach to understand genome structure formation, function, and inheritance. This approach integrates methods and technologies from molecular biology, bioinformatics, and computational biology.
- Invesigating how the microbiome changes in preterm infants and its effects on later life disease.
- Investigating how SNPs contribute to the development of disease through alterations to the 3D organization of gene regulation.
- Actively involved in communicating science to the community, I coordinate a Metagenomic study which involves High School students and teachers in the practical and theoretical aspects of a real-life scientific investigation of soil microbiology. (http://www.katoa.ac.nz)

suddenly REALLY hungry all the time!?!
Comments (9)
I haven't experienced this myself. In fact, I'm finding it harder and harder to eat with my growing belly. I'm lucky if I get one big meal in a day. I'm trying so hard to eat enough calories and protien to keep these babies growing. My heartburn also gets in the way of my eating. Anyway, eat away and enjoy :)

Katie Holmes' short, slightly tousled hairstyle has a messy side-part, tucked back sides and piece-y ends.
Styling Tip
Mist damp hair with texturizing spray. Blow-dry in two-inch sections using a vent brush to lift roots and build slight volume. Once dry, dab styling cream on your fingertips and run them through your hair to create soft definition. Tuck both sides back and then slightly pinch the ends for a piece-y feel. Lock in your style by misting with hairspray.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

I noticed that you have been doing several of the Pokémon learnsets. When you do them, I think that for the Gen. V, you should use the moveset thing that doesn't have contest categories because Gen. V no longer has contests. use this one:
|Leveling Generation VI
|Contest Cat.
|[[ type|]]
| Bold indicates this Pokémon receives STAB from this move.
Italic indicates an evolved or alternate form of this Pokémon receives STAB from this move.

Does a Luol Deng trade unlock the Wade-to-Chicago intrigue?
Note: The proposed trade discussed below is now being classified by Hoopsworld as a rumor.
Why would Dwyane Wade consider the Chicago Bulls if they can't add that coveted second max contract free agent? Neither Dwyane nor Chris would be willing to accept the $2,730,417 pay cut, would they?
Well, maybe they wouldn't need to.
According to Bill Ingram of Hoopsword:
Now hearing reports that the Trail Blazers are in talks with the Bulls to acquire Luol Deng for a package including Joel Przybilla and Jerryd Bayless.
Sounds like pure and unfounded speculation which doesn't seem to make much sense.
The two Blazers would certainly seem expendable. Portland has a glut at the center position, having extended Marcus Camby for two additional seasons and having Greg Oden in the final season of his rookie scale contract, and would certainly be amendable to a Przybilla trade. Bayless is a Mario-Chalmers-esque tweener better suited as a perennial backup to Brandon Roy at shooting guard than as a future starter at the point.
However, the suggested trade seems to make little sense for the Blazers. There would be no need for the team to acquire an expensive and injury-prone Luol Deng and the $51.3 million remaining on his contract, just to battle it out for a starting position with the more talented, more healthy, more youthful and more economical Nicolas Batum. If anything, the Blazers would covet a floor spacing outside shooter at the position, to complement the distance challenged Andre Miller and Brandon Roy – something which, despite an impressive 38.6% from beyond the arc last season, Luol Deng is not.
But the rumors are out there, so they're worth at least analyzing. Read more…

Printed with the appropriately placed colon, U:Don's name has an emoticon smile embedded within it. The name, like the food, is quick and cheap, and like the concept, elicits an eye-roll. However cheeky and speed-oriented the humor and the service, time has clearly gone into the handmade noodles, and it is worth slowing down for them.
See also:
U:Don Will Make U: Smile with Fresh Noodles in the U:DistrictThin Wheat Line: Nabeyaki Udon
Thin Wheat Line: Nabeyaki Udon
It's easy to see why this University District restaurant chose the assembly line, pay-at-the-counter service option. It keeps everything moving quickly, and works well with the easy-to-assemble noodle soups. When each soup is ordered, the fresh noodles are quickly boiled, the chosen flavor of hot broth or sauce added and it's ready to go before the diner moves through the line. The traditional broth was as bland as the décor, a translucent nothingness, offering only warmth and the perfectly textured noodles within. Flavored sauces, like the Tan Tan (spicy pork) option, offered a watered-down version of what they should be, but a step up from the traditional broth.
Much like the dichotomy between the noodles and the soup or sauces, the selection of snacks offered both excellent items (tempura-fried shrimp, which were warm and crispy) and ones that should be left under the heat lamps to wither (the Japanese fried chicken or kara-age, and the takoyaki, a type of octopus doughnut hole). Fresh dishes from the self-serve snack section fared much better, including the made-in-house pickles.
Overall though, it's hard to hold a few missteps against U:Don, not only because of the adorable smile the name offers. The pricing is dirt cheap, with noodle bowls starting $4.50 and the snacks even cheaper. The mediocre broth and only slightly better sauces are irrelevant when that kind of price buys you handmade noodles, thick, chewy, al dente, like the kind with which no store bought noodle can compare.

Florida's First District Court of Appeals has upheld multiple life sentences for a Tallahassee man found guilty of a violent rape.
Last spring, a judge sent Miguel Sierra to prison for life for lying in wait at a Tallahassee woman's home, tying her to her bed with dog leashes and raping her repeatedly.
Sierra promptly appealed.
The First District Court of Appeals recently upheld Sierra's life sentence and just last week deemed it "case closed." Sierra's attorney says he will not file for a rehearing.

Fishing is more than tossing tempting bait into the water. It's those hours of shared memories with your fishing buddies. It's that moment around dawn when the fog lifts off the water and the sun peeks through the trees and perhaps a loon calls. It's the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of putting hard-earned food on the table.
If you've ever wanted to try your hand at angling, there's nothing stopping you except the right equipment. Sure, you could start with an old cane pole, some line, a hook, a bobber, and a worm, but that's so limiting; you would be denying yourself much of the joy of the sport. Why not spend a little more and put together a basic fishing kit that will serve you well in most freshwater fishing conditions? For all the joy the hobby provides, the expense is rather slight; and of course, being dealnews, we grabbed a few selections at lowest-we-could-find prices to get your started.
Here's a list of the basics to consider:
Rod and Reel: A novice fisherman's kit starts with the rod and reel. Reels come in a proliferation of styles, but for the beginner (and for many experienced anglers, as well) the spincast type is a great choice. The line is enclosed in a housing, and comes streaming out when you press a button as you cast the line. This type of reel is great for avoiding tangles in the line, or "bird's nests," which can be frustrating and time-consuming to straighten out.
Rather than try to match a reel to the appropriate rod (of which there are a dizzying array), consider buying both rod and reel as a set, such as the Zebco's Gold Spincasting Combo.
Price: $29.88 + $8.95 s&h, $5 off.
Tackle Box: For your first tackle box, there's no need to burden yourself with luggage the size of a sea chest. A simple one-tray box with a good latch will do the trick, like the Plano 1001 Tackle Box.
Price: $8.49 + $5.50 s&h, a price low by $2
Hooks: An essential when fishing with live bait (worms, minnows, and the like) or imitations (plastic worms, for example). Hooks come in a wide variety of sizes; the lower the number, the larger the hook (unless the size is followed by /0; a 4/0 is larger than a 3/0). Look for an assortment of hooks, sizes 6 to 2/0 or so.
Sinkers: These metal weights are used to carry your bait down to the depths where fish are lurking. There are sinkers that tie onto your line, but split shot sinkers — which are crimped onto your line with pliers — are easier to use and less expensive, so it's not a tragedy when you, inevitably, lose some. Once made of lead, sinkers are now available in benign metals like tin.
Bobbers: These are attached to your line to suspend your bait at the right depth. Bobbers float, hence the name, and only the length of line beyond where you attach it will dangle below the surface of the water, waiting for a strike. A few 1" bobbers will serve your purpose well.
Price: Six for $1.50 + $3.95 s&h, a low by $1
Pliers: Needle nose pliers are preferable, as they'll help you remove hooks from the mouths of fish you catch. They're also handy to undo crimp sinkers from your line. This pair of Cabela's Advanced Anglers Aluminum Pliers will do the trick.
Price: $19.99 + $5.95 s&h, $10 off
Fingernail Clippers: These make cutting your line a snap. Also, don't underestimate the value of smart grooming.
Fishing Line: There will come a time when you'll snag your line on a submerged log, and it will be irrevocably lost. Don't make the situation even more frustrating by failing to keep extra line in your kit. Line comes in varying strengths, but this 330-yard Stren 10 lb. Monofilament should be a match for any freshwater lunker you're liable to encounter.
Price: $7.99 + free shipping, a low by $4
Swivels: Swivels are attached to your line before the lure, so that the lure spins without twisting your fishing line.
Jigs: Feather Jigs are colorful lures attached to the shank of a hook; when dragged through the water, they can look very enticing. (Fish are capricious and will sometimes ignore the most lifelike baits, then strike at something not remotely resembling food. The most common question in fishing is "What are they hitting on?")
Worms: Plastic worms are a less icky alternative to live bait. Dealnews recently reported that Rapala, a lure manufacturer, is offering a free sample of this kind of bait if you sign up for its newsletter.
Hook Hone: A hook hone will help you keep your hooks sharp, which in turns means you'll (hopefully) catch more fish.
Polarized Sunglasses: If the water is clear, a pair of polarized lenses will cut through the glare from the surface and help you see what's going on below.
Fillet Knife: Cleaning a fish can be tricky business if you don't have the proper tools, so invest in a fillet knife if you ever want to actually eat the fish you've diligently worked to catch.
I.D. Guide: How can you brag about your conquests if you have no idea what type of fish is dangling from your line? Your state's local department of natural resources will likely offer a fish identification guide, to aid in your self-promotional goals.
License: Don't spoil your therapeutic day of fishing by being caught without a license. Carry it with you at all times to avoid a fine.
A Mentor: Lastly, pack along an experienced angler who can show you the ropes. Where and when you fish are just as important factors to consider as selecting the components for your tackle box — and successful fishermen don't lightly share this hard-earned knowledge.
And of course, don't forget a few of these general outdoor necessities: Sunscreen, bug spray, dry matches, and a pocketknife. (There are few outdoor activities that couldn't benefit from having a trusty pocketknife at hand.)
An old Babylonian proverb says "The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing," perhaps because of the serenity that can settle upon an angler in a particularly peaceful spot. And those minutes spent contesting a worthy catch are times to savor.

I like N, he is trying to change the world for the pokemon not himself. He was just being used by evil in hopes of getting their way. When he finds this out he turns against them. The entire time he was a good guy believing he was doing good for pokemon.
(posted a little bit about this in B2W2)
As for his ability to talk to pokemon, i think he might be related to the warriors of Ramsei on Pokemon Conquest. They have a similar ability to communicate with pokemon.
Just a thought
A dragon stomps on to the forum! Letters are falling everywhere! Oh No! He's going to torch everything! RUN!!! (Puff!!!)(?) Guess his show was hotter than his fire!

Agency Doesn't Have Funds to Enforce Ethics Law
The state passed a new ethics law this year, but the State Ethics Commission of Georgia says it doesn't have the resources to implement it. The new law expands the commission's oversight to include the campaign contribution filings and financial disclosure reports of every one running for and serving in city and county offices. Before it was just state-level positions.

Thank you all for your prayers... Thank you Patty for adding me personally too.
Well, it was Lila to the Rescue for supper last nite, I put veggies in pressure cooker and added leftover mustard sauce and 10 min. later we were eating...
This pickling I have been doing, with my neighbor's help, and also my Korean student one day, I borrowed a roaster from neighbor and am using that to sterilize bottles, and my niece's pressure cooker and also she cleaned out her cupboards and gave me lots of bottles, and of course, the pastor's wife gave me two batches of tomatoes....and add in my mother's recipes, so I'd say it's a community effort...
But, the excitement today was being reminded at church that the tomato soup we made, needed to be put in fridge....came home and discovered why the back porch stunk.... the bottle had exploded all over my cupboard... But, what was weird was, last nite Buddy came in from his bed in porch and was upset and wouldn't go back out there, and he slept in front room last nite. So, guess I discovered what the mystery is. I called Pastor's wife and she said to throw the whole bottle out, not to even try to open it, it's still sitting in my sink...don't know why it wasn't preserved, not enough sugar, (then why do pickles work with Splenda?) or because it had flour in it (but so do mustard pickles) -m oh well done now.
Beautiful day here today, called in my meds and gotta go pick up by 5pm, and Buddy and I should get in a walk cuz it's going to rain all week, so better stop talking and get going for now.
Hope everyone is enjoying a restful weekend and enjoying your families...

Canning is a mystery to me. I don't know why we don't all die of botulism, but I've successfully canned most fruits and veg at one time or another. I was converted to a freezer person, but sinc my freezer quit, I think I'll have to revert to canning.

tomatoes are a funny thing. I remember my mother saying stuff about tomatoes and the acids but also about flour. So I never have made anything with flour in it, for canning. When I make tomato soup It is like a cross between crushed tomatoes and tomato juice more than anything. I have it that way or if I want the heavier version, thicken it after I open it. Sorry I can t help you more than that
I also ad a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to anything canned with tomatoes, to kick the acid level up

Hanze University of Applied Sciences, GroningenGroningen, Netherlands
- 10 Masters
- 25000 Students
- Public Institution Type
Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen (Hanze UAS), is the largest University of Applied Sciences in the northern part of the Netherlands and is located in the vibrant student city Groningen. Hanze (UAS) has a wide variety of Bachelor programmes, Master programmes, certificate programmes, exchange programmes, dual degree programmes, preparatory courses and minors. In addition to its academic programmes, Hanze (UAS) has various modern facilities on campus to offer its students.
The university is also internationally oriented in the sense that it offers various fully-taught programmes in English and works closely together with partner institutes from all over the world. In addition, the university is home to over eighty different nationalities.
Visit the Virtual Open Day (see the link on the university website) and choose what you want to see, hear or read about. Photos, videos, text and animation will introduce you to the possibilities at Hanze UAS and the student life in Groningen.
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen!
Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen (Hanze UAS) is a University of Applied Sciences with more than 2,700 employees and over 25,000 Dutch and foreign students who have enrolled in one of the seventy degree programmes in the fields of economics, technology, health care, education and teacher training, social work, labour relations, fine arts, and music. Hanze (UAS) is one of the largest and most all-round universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands.
Under the name of Hanze Connect, courses, training, workshops, and post-graduate degree programmes (Master programmes) are offered on a commercial basis. The aim is to make our knowledge and expertise available to the general public and more specifically to trade, industry and institutions in the field of healthcare and social work.
The general management of Hanze (UAS) is in the hands of the Executive Board, supported by a Staff Office. The members of the Executive Board are: drs. Henk Pijlman, chairman and president, Ms drs. Marian van Os and Mr dr. J.H. de Ruiter.
Hanze (UAS) is for the major part housed on the so-called Zernike Complex, a campus-like area in the north of the city. Here you will find the buildings of the Executive Board and its supporting Staff Office, and most of our schools. The other schools (for example the School of Fine Arts and Design, the School of Performing Arts and the School of Health Care Studies) are housed in various buildings across the city.
Hanze (UAS) is leading with respect to the use of information and communication technology in education. We want to make sure that our students are well prepared for a professional career in the 21st century. That is why a student learns to work with digital communication tools, the Internet and other multimedia forms that are important in his or her professional field. Every student has access to the Internet and to the internal network of the university and gets a personal e-mail address. A student can also register for exams and consult his or her records digitally.
All departments have introduced the electronic learning environment into their education. It provides the student with a wide range of information on the programme as a whole and the various parts that make up the programme. It also gives a survey of frequently asked questions and answers to these questions. The student can communicate with lecturers and fellow students, via e-mail, or via chat and discussion groups. The electronic learning environment is also used by students to work together on group projects and assignments.
Hanze (UAS) has an ultra-modern Hanze Media Centre with branches at the Campus and other locations. Hanze Media Centre's collections include: specialist literature, reference books, magazines and newspapers, audio and videotapes, software, information on CD-rom, student placement reports and student theses.
As a prospective international student you are on the doorstep of a great adventure, studying and living in the Netherlands. Although this is an amazing experience, it can be quite difficult finding your way through the rules and regulations, from applying for a study programme until your journey to the Netherlands. The International Student Office (ISO) will assist you from start to finish.
We can help you with the application and admission procedure and the practical matters, such as finding accommodation in Groningen, getting the right insurance, obtaining a visa, obtaining residence and work permits.
Our International Student Office is held in high regard by our visiting students and the people we work with. So much, that we even received awards:
If you are uncertain about finding your way from Schiphol Airport to your room in Groningen, you can apply for the Hanze (UAS) Pick-up Service. All incoming students can make use of this service.
One of our students will pick you up from Schiphol Airport and will take you to your room in Groningen. You will need to inform us at the latest one week in advance on which date and time you need to be picked up. The service is free of charge, but you have to pay for your own transportation tickets (train and bus).
The easiest way to pay your bills is to open a bank account in The Netherlands. When you have a Dutch bank account you will receive a bank card with a Personal Identification Number with which you can pay at any shop or store in the Netherlands.
Banks can have difficult procedures to open an account. They may ask for your residence permit or they may ask for a BSN number upon opening an account. For this reason and the simple reason that we want our students to be able to open a bank account as soon as possible, we have an agreement with the Rabobank.
They will facilitate you as best as they can. You can make an appointment with them upon arrival. The Rabobank will be present on our Welcoming Day.
Most foreign students that come to Hanze (UAS) want to find accommodation in the city of Groningen. In the Netherlands, the organization of student accommodation differs from that in many other countries. Most universities do not own residence halls or other types of student accommodation. Instead, Dutch students find their own accommodation on the private market.
The international guests of Hanze (UAS) can apply for furnished accommodation through the Housing Office, which is an organization that acts as an intermediary in finding temporary accommodation for students and staff from abroad. The Housing Office tries to find suitable accommodation for a reasonable price.
CAST (Cultural Activities for Students) organizes a large variety of cultural activities for and by students of Hanze (UAS), ranging from music, dance, film, photography, video, stand-up comedy, theatre, design, painting, sculpture, etc.
CAST organizes concerts, exhibitions, and shows, which are open to all students, but also courses, workshops and other cultural projects, in which students can participate.
Hanze (UAS) and the University of Groningen have joint sports facilities for their students and staff.
ACLO is the student sports association, managed entirely by students, operating under the auspices of both Hanze (UAS) and the University of Groningen. ACLO offers the students and staff of both institutions a wide range of extra-curricular sports activities. Students and staff can obtain an ACLO-card, which is a kind of passport to the various sports facilities. They can also join one of the 53 sports clubs or simply drop by at the Sports Centre.
Hanze (UAS) and the University of Groningen run a joint Sports Centre, with approximately 75 trainers and instructors and 20 staff members.

Student counsellors operate at a central level and are independent from schools and degree programmes. Conversations with student counsellors are by definition confidential.
A student counsellor can be approached regarding all manner of questions and problems that may come your way in the course of your studies and/or private life, also if they do not involve your studies directly. A student counsellor is not merely a good listener: together with you, he/she can work out whether in a given situation you can rely on any special schemes to which you might be entitled as a student.
To give an example, in some cases you might be entitled to financial support in the event that your study programme is prolonged due to circumstances beyond your control. In certain situations, the counsellor may refer you to an external expert, such as a psychologist.
Hanze (UAS) believes in active tolerance. Tolerance often means that people simply do not bother each other. At Hanze (UAS) we prefer to view tolerance in a more active, respectful manner. Every student has the right of freedom of speech, expression and religion. This means that students are entitled to express their opinion as well as their faith or cultural beliefs. The university is however also a community where students learn from and respect each other.
A good example of active tolerance at Hanze (UAS) is the new reflection room next to the Atrium. Originally, a group of Muslims asked for a place to pray inside the university. The university agreed to create a room for them, but they did not want to make it exclusive for Muslims. The room is now a place for all students, religious or non-religious, to use for prayer, contemplation, or just a moment of silence.
In the north of Groningen the University of Groningen, municipality of Groningen and Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen (Hanze UAS) developed the 'ZernikeCampus'. A vivid area where education, knowledge and entrepreneurship get together. An environment where students and employees can work, study and stay in an inspiring surrounding. And where visitors feel welcome.
Spread in the green area the last few years several high-quality architecture loomed up. The green hart of the campus is shaped by the 'HanzeForum'.
A unique countryside
Within easy reach of Groningen there are the wide open spaces and striking cloud formations for which the Netherland are so famous. And a bit to the east you have the woods of Drenthe, with roe deer, foxes and sleepy villages. Yet most remarkable of all is the Wadden Sea, with its wildlife of seals and birds. At low tide, parts of these shallow wetlands fall dry. Then one can even reach a few islands on foot. However, this is a tricky business, so don't do it without a guide.
A bustling city life
Imagine yourself spending your leisure time amidst this tremendous scenic beauty, and relaxing afterwards at an outdoor café on the Grote Markt or at a pop concert. Imagine skating at Kardinge sports centre, or playing squash there, and then going on to the Groninger Museum to see a sensational exhibition.
Groningen has facilities for every taste, being the cultural heart of the Northern Netherlands. But what most foreigners do not realize is that, from Groningen, the rest of the country is easily accessible. For instance, a train will take you to Amsterdam in about two hours. So come to Groningen and see it all. You'll never be bored!
City of Talent
Besides being a student city, Groningen is also ahead in the areas of research, innovation and entrepreneurship: a real city of talent.
In order to make this known to the rest of the Netherlands, University of Groningen, Hanze (UAS), the UMCG University Medical Center Groningen and the Province and municipality of Groningen have joined forces. Under the common denominator of Groningen, City of Talent, in conjunction with Marketing Groningen, they have started a national campaign under the motto of: Here is space for talent. Space for learning, for working and for growing. For further personal development and making the best of yourself. And there is room for living, sports and entertainment. Theres no place like Groningen.
