Could you survive on $1.50 per meal – for an entire week?
October 27 to November 6, we challenge you do just this. Join us in taking the Food Stamp Challenge, and learn what it is like to subsist on a food budget of only $31.50 per week – the average weekly allotment for an individual who receives food stamps. Participants are challenged to only consume food purchased for the challenge (that means no free office coffee, no stocked-up pantry items).
It will be hard, but you will be in good company.
Joining in you in taking on this challenge will be Catholic Charities Executive Director, Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, Justice and Peace Coordinator Tom Dobbins, and Richard Bertin, associate producer of the Sirius Radio show JustLove will all be subsisting on a food stamp budget and blogging about their experiences right here.
We want to hear from you too: Tell us about your victories, your struggles… and your best low-cost meal ideas, to support the rest of us who are trying to make it through a week with no restaurants.
Accept the challenge on Facebook today!
Here are the Challenge Guidelines:
1. Each person can only spend a total of $31.50 on food and beverages during the Challenge week – this translates to $4.50 per day, or $1.50 per meal.
2. All food purchased and eaten during the Challenge week, including fast food and dining out must be included in the total spending.
3. During the Challenge, eat only food that you purchase for the project. Do not eat food that you already own (this does not include spices and condiments).
4. Avoid accepting free food from friends, family, or at work, including food at receptions or coffee in the office
5. Please keep track of receipts on food spending and take note of your experiences throughout the week.
6. Share your Food Stamp Challenge by writing an op-ed for your local newspaper, blogging, sharing a reflection on the Fighting Poverty with Faith website, advocating for feeding programs, and more.
7. Donate the additional money you would have spent on food during this week to a local food bank or anti-hunger advocacy organization (optional).
Will you join us? Accept the Challenge now.

ZF-9877: Initialize Zend_Translate cache from application configuration
We can define almost all the options for Zend_Translate through application configuration file using Zend_Application. But I also want to use cache with Zend_Translate. Currently, we cannot define cache for Zend_Translate from application configuration. We should have a feature so that we can define cache manager template name in translate resource options and cache can be initialized automatically.
Actually you can not assign a cache by option as it is added statically. This is the first things which have to be added for this issue.
Therefor reassigning the issue to myself.
Feature implemented.
You can now set the cache within the options of Zend_Translate and it's adapters.
Feel free to propose any further improvement to the propert component.
Thanks for implementing this feature.
It would be nice if we could also assign cache manager template name as an argument to Zend_Translate_Adapter::setCache() because, we cannot define instance of Zend_Cache_Core in configuration file. So defining cache manager template name should automatically assign cache instance to it.

Go beyond the limitations of traditional guitars.
It's been over 80 years since the invention of the traditional electric guitar, and guitarists are still dealing with the same performance limitations. Changing tunings is slow and time consuming, and the range of tones is limited. To get a variety of sounds or alternate tunings for gigs and studio sessions, guitarists need multiple guitars—which is inconvenient and expensive. Stages are small. Trunks are smaller. Less needs to do more.
Imagine if you could switch your guitar from its natural electric guitar tone to perfectly modeled versions of the world's most coveted vintage electrics, classic acoustics and exotic instruments, all with the simple twist of a knob. Or switch up your tunings on the fly, even mid-song. Imagine the trunk space saved. Imagine the room recovered on stage. Imagine fluidly covering acoustic, electric and even a banjo break in the same song—without changing instruments. It's all possible with Line 6 Variax. These modern instruments shatter the limitations of traditional guitars, and will spark your creativity in exciting new ways.
Explore a collection of amazing sounds.
With the Variax family of guitars, creating your own unique sound has never been easier. Variax HD technology delivers a wide variety of classic guitar models—each with exceptional detail, feel and response. Choose from an amazing collection of vintage electrics. Or inspire your playing with rare acoustics and eclectic instruments. You can even access alternate tunings—including Open G, DADGAD, Drop D, or any other custom tuning—with the turn of a knob.
Variax Workbench HD. Your own virtual custom shop.
Connect your Variax to a computer with an included VDI cable and Variax Workbench™ HD software gives you complete control over every element of your Variax guitar tone—so you can build the instrument of your dreams. Mix and match a wide range of body styles and pickup models to create your own unique guitar. The software takes you far beyond what's possible in the physical realm so you can build virtually any guitar imaginable.Learn more
Now every guitarist can break the rules.
Variax Standard combines Line 6 innovation with renowned Yamaha craftsmanship to form a versatile modern instrument that shatters the limitations of traditional guitars. With a lightweight alder body, maple neck and high-performance hardware, Variax Standard delivers the build quality and playability of comparably priced guitars—plus the Variax HD magic that puts it in a class of its own.
Looks incredible. Sounds even better.
Amazing guitar tone. Impeccable design. Incredible playability. James Tyler Variax guitars feature everything you'd expect from a top-shelf instrument—from the premium tonewood body and rosewood fingerboard to custom pickups wound to James Tyler's specs. The built-in Variax HD technology is completely transparent, so the aesthetics and playability of the instrument is never compromised. You can be certain your guitar will play beautifully—and sound incredible.
A work of art worthy of hanging on your wall.
James Tyler Variax US Custom Series guitars are instruments of the highest caliber, built in the United States to the most exacting standards. Each guitar is handcrafted by experienced luthiers and built to rigorous specifications using premium tonewoods and components, forming a stunning instrument of unmatched quality and design.
Limitless sonic possibilities.
Individually, a Variax guitar, a multi-effect processor like POD® HD500X or Firehawk FX, and StageSource® L2t or L2m loudspeaker are all powerful sonic tools. But collectively, they form the ultimate integrated full-range flat-response (FRFR) rig—and provide limitless sonic possibilities. With the press of a single footswitch, you can change sounds, routing, instruments, effects and tuning—instantly transforming your setup into virtually any rig.

This past Saturday the Yellow Jackets came into the game fresh off their victory against Southwest Minnesota State University the week before. In the first quarter the Yellow Jackets came out with the energy dominating offensively and defensively. "We had a great first quarter but only came away with a seven point lead. The next three quarters were dominated by their defensive line and a play-making quarterback. Those two factors together were the reason why we only ran 41 plays the entire game" said Head Coach John Scott. Barefield's ability to improvise and his elusiveness allowed the Rangers to convert on a number of third down opportunities. "We didn't have the same focus we had the week before. You have to have equal amounts of physical and mental aspects of the game. We had great effort but not the focus. We aren't a good enough team to rely on just our effort" according to Coach Scott.
"Offensively our ground game didn't provide us with some of the opportunities it usually does. We had a number of assignment breakdowns and we never really got on track. The field conditions didn't really have an effect but it felt like we were running in sand all day." Added Coach Scott. The Yellow Jackets had an opportunity late in the game to go ahead but failed to convert on third down.
Defensively the Yellow Jackets were able to keep the Rangers out of the end zone but allowed many opportunities to convert on third down. "We had some assignment breakdowns on the defensive side as well that were crucial in third down conversions and allowing their quarterback to get loose." said Coach Scott.
Special Teams showed improvement from week one but will still focus this week on continuing to get better. The focus this week will be on kickoff return as they try to get ready for the Hardrockers of South Dakota Mines.
This week's game is Swarm Days and kickoff will be at 1:00pm in Lyle Hare Stadium. If you aren't able to make it to the game then you can see it live on the BHSU Athletics Website through pay per view.

If you haven't noticed yet, it's cold. Dang cold. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice fashion just to keep those feet warm. Lucky for those of you who love rockin' heels all year long, it's so cold it can't snow. Which, of course, means those sky-high stilettos and wedges are good to go for the time being. So, what to wear when you want to stay warm andlook fab? These suede and shearling wedge booties from Ivanka Trump have it on lock.

Ok, so this handbag won't keep you warm and toasty. But the metallic snakeskin certainly adds a pop and will liven up any outfit, even if it's buried under layers of scarves, jackets and sweaters. Bonus? It would look just as awesome in July with a black tank and a skirt.

|Vandals Upset No. 59 NMSU
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - It was the biggest victory in years for University of Idaho men's tennis according to Director of Tennis Jeff Beaman.
Idaho upended No. 59 New Mexico State 4-3 to record the team's second victory over ranked opposition this season.
"Today's match against NMSU is a huge step for our team," Beaman said. "NMSU is playing very well right now, nationally ranked and to beat them on their home courts is significant."
Idaho started the match off by nabbing the doubles point. Singles victories from Lachlan Reed, Stanislav Glukhov and Alan Shin capped off a fan performance from the Vandals.
"This wins shows we have the level to be a top team, and I am looking for the guys to make a statement and finish this weekend strong," Beaman said. "The guys should be proud of what they accomplished today."
Idaho beat Western New Mexico 7-0 on Thursday to begin its four game, four day New Mexico trip. The Vandals are in action on Saturday against UT Arlington and against Northern Arizona on Sunday.

It's a no, for now, to the NBA from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Krzyzewski told espn.com Monday morning before the Duke-Butler NCAA championship game that "I wouldn't have any interest in the job. You would be flattered if someone would offer you a job, but I would not be interested."
The Blue Devils nation can breathe a collective sigh. Although, it appears they were never in much danger of losing Krzyzewski in the first place.
He previously turned down an offer to coach Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in 2004. It appears the college life suits him.

Mayor Williams Supports the Delaware Met: A Big Picture Learning High School
Posted on 03/13/2013 9:07 am
As the City of Wilmington seeks to nurture the growth and development of its young people, Mayor Williams supports the Delaware Met, a high school looking to open in Downtown Wilmington.
The Delaware Met will adopt The Big Picture Learning school design, which is a dynamic approach to learning, doing, and thinking that is defined by a commitment to educate 'one student at a time.' The school is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014 for grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 530 students.
The Delaware Met school design is built on three basic principles:
- Learning must be based on the interests and goals of each student.
- Curriculum must be relevant to people and places in the real world.
- Students' abilities must be measured by the quality of their work.
The Big Picture Learning model has found success across the country. High Schools practicing this model have a 90% on-time graduation rate with 95% accepted to college.
"Bringing more educational institutions to the downtown Wilmington area can only enhance our community," said Mayor Williams. "The Delaware Met has the potential to create new academic opportunities for our children."

On the chilly fall evening of November 9, 1965, a bright, full moon in a cloudless sky shone down on the streets of New York City. Workers on Wall Street poured out of the myriad office buildings and headed toward the subways and bus stations on their way home.
Most left work at 5 p.m. and soon were down the subway stairs, through the turnstiles and boarding the trains. The IRT line picked up riders at the Wall Street Station, and then headed under the East River toward Brooklyn.
At 5:27 p.m., the train suddenly stopped just as it went under the East River, and the lights went out. Down in the caverns of the city subway, it was pitch black. The subway cars were overcrowded as usual. People routinely put up with cramming because of the relatively short ride. Every seat was occupied, and double rows of standers held onto high bars or onto poles by the entrance doors in the cars.
Sighs were heard and the impatient shuffling of feet. There were no announcements explaining why the lights were out or why the train had stopped. The passengers began to sing songs to pass the time. A few arguments broke out. It was hard to breathe without circulating air and with so many bodies. After a while, the conductor and driver walked along the catwalk with flashlights, asking for patience until the situation was made clear. The stuffiness in the train was becoming oppressive.
An hour passed and no news. Passengers thought the problem was with their particular train. Some started chatting to calm nerves and pass time. However, several riders could not really take the tension and began smoking in the now sweltering cars. It was hard to breathe as it was. Now the smoke was choking the other riders. The majority overruled, and the smokers put out their butts.
Two, three, four hours passed. Conditions were critical with some feeling too unnerved, some feeling ill. There were arguments and testiness as the passengers sat and stood in the dark, literally, uninformed of the problem. Then, after four hours stuck under the East River in a dark tunnel, there was some change.
City firefighters descended onto the tracks and began evacuating the train. They guided those stranded riders to pass to the back of the train holding hands in a human chain, through all the subway cars and out the last car. There, three firefighters helped each rider down from the train and up onto the two-foot catwalk to head back to the Manhattan side station to an escape hatch in the street. With big spotlights, the firefighters helped each passenger climb up the steep escape ladder to the street exit that led out near Wall Street and Water Street that was actually right by a big firehouse and finally out onto the dark street.
Still thinking the problem was with the one train, some passengers were anticipating TV cameras and comfort. When my husband surfaced, a firefighter asked him "Where do you live?"
"Brooklyn," replied Don.
"Well, you have to walk up to the Manhattan Bridge and cross over to Brooklyn." The Manhattan Bridge is by Chinatown. He was on Wall Street a few miles uptown.
"What!," said Don. "I was expecting coffee and a donut from the Red Cross."
"No buddy. The whole city has been blacked out since 5:27 p.m."
Don got on the train at 5:15 p.m. If only he missed that fateful train!
Well, at least the mystery was over. Now the long trek home to Flatbush began. A young girl of about 18 or 19 years old latched on to Don. She was very scared and only knew her stop, Columbus Circle. She was totally lost.
They walked along to the Manhattan Bridge, along with throngs of others stranded in downtown New York City. Along the way, they noted many pubs and bars lit by candles with many merry makers making a party of the dilemma. Bars were probably giving drinks free, as the ice was melting and cash registers not working.

One Day Down, Three to Go, and @TigerFencing Stands Second at NCAA
With the first of four days at the NCAA Championships in San Antonio in the books, the Princeton fencing team is right where it left off last season, in second place.
Princeton's six men's fencers Thursday won a total of 51 of a possible 90 bouts. The only team to outdo Princeton was Penn State, which won 63 of 90 bouts. Other teams are in close pursuit, with Harvard and Notre Dame each tallying 50 wins.
The six Princeton men will have 24 points available Friday before the women take over Saturday. Princeton and Notre Dame were the only teams to qualify the maximum 12 fencers. Of the other teams in the top five after the first day, the other three (Penn State, Harvard, Stanford) have five women's fencers qualified compared to six for Princeton and Notre Dame, so the Tigers may have an edge over that trio.
Within the individual weapons, Princeton's epee was two wins stronger than its foil team, 20-18, and the saberists brought home 13 wins. Rookie foilist Michael Dudey was the top performer, winning 13 of 15 bouts, closely followed by senior epeeists Jonathan Yergler and Edward Kelley with 10 wins apiece. Junior sabersits Robert Stone and Philip Dershwitz chipped in seven and six wins, respectively, and rookie foilist Rodney Chen had five.
Through the first day, Dudey, Yergler and Kelley are in position to move on to the medal round, but they'll have to stay in their weapon's top four in order to be there after all the pool bouts are completed tomorrow. Semifinal and final bouts can be seen live on ESPN3.com beginning at 2:30 p.m. ET tomorrow. The day's competition will begin at 10:30 a.m. ET.
The only foilist fencer to do better than Dudey on the first day was Notre Dame's Gerek Meinhardt, won won all 15 bouts and defeated Dudey 5-1 in their head-to-head bout. Meinhardt was the only fencer across all three weapons to finish the first day undefeated.
Live results, including the first day's totals, can be found here.

You may have seen her affordable, eclectic collection ranging from art cards to picture rings at craft fairs and art shows. She loves the Victorian era and nature, like me, which is probably why I love her work so much!
Please tell the reader a little about yourself:
"I'm Candace. Terribly shy, pocket-sized, Salt Lake born and raised. Seven-and-a-half years into mom-hood and adoring it. I eat too many cookies and use semicolons where they don't belong."
You draw inspiration from children's fairy tales and describe some of your artwork as cutesy. Do you plan to illustrate for children's books? What are your future plans?
"I still fall for fairy tales, and I have heard people describe my art as cutesy, yes. That's part of my goal behind Apricot Ink, a sputtering of random characters I stick on greeting cards. My concentration is given mostly to 'the girls' and other pieces in a similar style that I'm hoping to steer away from the 'aww' factor though. Give them more raw emotion and depth. I'm trying. Can' say that it's really working however, people still 'aww' my work, which I'll take as a compliment.
"As far as children's books go? Deep down, I wish to get picked up by a good publishing house one day. I started making my own 'children's books' in elementary school and to this day have a filing cabinet full of notes and folders, drawings, doodles and narrative that all want to be books when they grow up. It's just a matter of me putting more focus on one story and finishing it rather than skipping about like I do, and then just push it; see what happens."
How would you describe your artwork overall?
"I see a pretty lighthearted consistency in my work. I've got some fascination with realistic detail but toss a stylistic approach on everything. I pick up on the realities of my subject matter and then exaggerate and or simplify it, especially in my illustrated people. It's all a mix of true life stuff and the imagined."
You are self-taught. Do you prefer self-teaching over classroom lecture, and why?
"There is definitely something about rolling up your sleeves, digging in and getting dirty by making your own true experience of art; discovering your style with no influence or guidance. Then again, having an instructor that knows the ropes could open you up to ideas you may never have considered when sorting out technique on your own.
"I grew up in a creative family and was constantly allotted 'art time,' so I basically figured out drawing and painting on my own by just doing it. The highest level of art 'class' I completed was AP Art in high school. I do recall witnessing teacher/student head-butting when it came to execution or what-have-you, because the teacher thought it should be one way while the student figured they should be free to create as they pleased, which is a potential classroom hang-up. I also know of a few art school dropouts that make a fine living on their art, no lectures necessary.
"Honestly I've always wanted to take a formal painting class. I never have. I make this stuff up as I go. I suppose the end product works, but I'm hoping some seasoned instructor could learn me a thing or two."
Do you believe you are born with artistic talent or can it be learned?
"Ooh trick question. Art is subjective. While one person may say an abstract painting is not made with any talent, another person may digest the piece and sincerely marvel at the application of color. I'll go ahead and say genetics are probably greatly involved as I've seen varying degrees of artistic talent and capabilities in my family (and of course others). Nothing stopping a body from putting paint to canvas in their own way, with or without instruction, and believing it is talent though. Expression and opinion of that expression vary person to person."
What mediums do you prefer?
"All of them. Any of it. There are still some I'm aching to try and others I want to be better at. If I had to pick one or die, I'd say whatever could get me smooth color transition without much fuss. Vague much? I get that from my mom. The indecisiveness is my dad. The subject change is solely my fault."
What is it about the Victorian era that captivates you?
"Oh, that whole era is enchanting. Everything was so rich, thick, full. Life then was incredibly hands-on and hand-made. Correspondence, clothing, furniture, everything - all so intricate and refined! I can't get enough of their individual appearance and style. The Victorians had a hunger for discovery and I suppose I relate to that. Incredible things were invented - the telephone, gasoline engines, the phonograph, light bulbs, telegraph systems, etc, and incredible people were making their mark: Edison, Audubon, Dickens, Darwin. The Industrial Revolution! The first World's Fair! Natural History and the study of science were dear and increasingly important to Victorian gentlemen, and I'm partial to those subjects, too. I adore the whole lot."
You say you love flora and fauna. Is nature what inspires you? What inspires you and what about it motivates you to paint/sketch it?
"I think the best way to explain my fascination with the natural world is when I was young, all I wanted was to be IN it. I was happiest when outside, and I still need that. Get a particular something about nature to catch my attention, and I revert to four-year-oldom. 'How does it do that?' Being enveloped by something so colossal (nature as a whole) day-to-day that can be individually broken down into microscopic cells just kills me. And it all functions, knows exactly what to do - growth, metamorphosis, repopulation - and does it perfectly year after year forever.
"The surface things we see as well, like behavior, the infinite textures, perfect patterns and color, make my imagination wild with ideas. It's a rolling, snowball effect on my thoughts and pictures just come out."
How did you get started in art shows?
"I'd been stockpiling art and design magazines for years and swooning over artists that 'made it' the ones that had their art on those pages and in those galleries, and I wished to be there, too. I still do, but I had this dream sometime in 2006 about me making odd little cards and selling them at shops. As I baked cookies the next day for a downtown coffee shop where I worked, I hashed out my dream with my fellow employee and best friend, who told me, 'So do that. Make cards and sell them here, on this counter.' So, I did.
"Each card originally was hand-painted and sat in a little box for sale near the register at that coffee shop. They did surprisingly well, which made me think to package some up, strap my son in his stroller, and walk some cards over to the Women's Art Center. I talked to the curator about selling them on consignment. She wholeheartedly welcomed the idea. That sparked a dormant drive in me to make art again and led to my discovering local craft markets and landing new invitations/opportunities."
Are there any other shows/events planned in the future for your artwork?
"Yes! Please plan on hangin' with me at Cathedral Tattoo in downtown SLC for my 'Teeny Tiny Royalty Show' in November of this year. I've also applied for some local art/handmade markets, and hope to announce acceptance to those soon. Beyond that, there are murmurings, and I've got my own big dreams I'm trying to make happen over here. Stay tuned!"
The reception will be Friday, June 17 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m at Blonde Grizzly Gallery, 15 E. 400 South, SLC. The show runs from April 17 to July 8. Click here for more info.

Hi, I'm Autistic Lucario. In real life, I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is a kind of autism.
I like to write Pokemon fanfictions, but not in the way most people would expect. For example, I emphasize on using brainpower, a bit of stealth, and some improvisation to overcome obstacles in the stories, rather than "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" My stories have some mystery and horror elements in them.
As for my personality,
1: I'm nice if you're nice to me. Cross the line and you'll be facing the mods.
2: I'm awkward and socially immature (thanks to my disorder).
3: I overreact to situations sometimes and my emotions tend to pour out with my posts.
4: I have problems telling a joke from reality (I HATE April Fool's Day).
5: I'm a literal, concrete, black and white thinker.
6: My head tends to spin whenever I read long posts (rule boards confuse me sometimes and I forget many of the specific rules ).
7: I'm very proud of my work (like patriotic Americans are proud of their flag).
8: Anyone who breaks the rules on my turf will feel my wrath (actually, the wrath of the moderators).
9: I have a really hard time maintaining a conversation.
10: I have the body of an adult, but the mind of a little kid.
Please understand that I'm not here to break any rules or cause trouble. I'm really nice and friendly once you get to know me. Just try to see past my rather emotional surface.
All right then, I'll see if I can enjoy myself here.

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Sorrento Therapeutics and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) entered into an antibody and vaccine development collaboration, under which Sorrento is obtaining an exclusive license to TSRI's technologies based on ghrelin-signaling inhibition for the prevention and treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders. Through this collaboration, Sorrento's aim is to develop vaccines and antibody-based therapeutics to fight obesity.
A research group at TSRI led by Kim Janda, Ph.D., has developed a technology to fight obesity-exploiting antibody-mediated neutralization of the hunger-stimulating peptide hormone ghrelin. When tested on rodents, the technology reportedly demonstrated statistically significant effects including reduced food intake and body weight loss. Sorrento and Scripps believe that Sorrento's G-MAB® antibody library technology, which was designed to facilitate rapid identification and isolation of highly specific antibody therapeutics, could be used in combination with the ghrelin peptide analogs described by the TSRI team to identify fully human antibodies for the sequestration of ghrelin-mediated appetite process.
"This discovery program represents a novel approach to combating obesity," said Henry Ji, Ph.D., president and CEO of Sorrento, in a statement.
Sorrento have been popping up in the news a lot lately: This past March, the biopharmaceutical firm acquired oncology drug developer Igdrasol in a deal Sorrento said would strengthen its cancer portfolio; two months later, the two newly united firms acquired exclusive EU distribution rights to Cynviloq™, a micellar paclitaxel formulation, from Samyang Biopharmaceuticals. Then, in July, Sorrento entered into an option and license agreement with B.G. Negev Technologies and Applications (the technology transfer company of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) covering several fully human anti-hepatitis C virus antibody clones discovered in the lab of Leslie Lobel, M.D., Ph.D.

At long last! The Cadbury Double Decker bar! I've been wanting to try one of these ever since I read a review of them over at Chocablog. My excitement heightened when I had the bar in hand and read the description on the side: "milk chocolate with smooth, chewy nougatine and crisp crunchy cereal filling". CANDY SWOON! I couldn't tear it open fast enough.
Firstly, this bar is nothing to sniff at. It certainly lives up to its name, as it's hefty and tall at 60g.
Unlike the Triple Decker I had from Australia, the Double Decker is not a "solid"bar. Instead it's enrobed, hiding all sort of deliciousness underneath.
So what is under all that chocolate? The bottom half is like a Nestle Crunch bar and the top is fluffy and soft like the inside of a 3 Musketeers. smells sweet, milky of dried milk powder. The flavor is sweet, with a nice chocolaty taste from the coating, a sweet caramel flavor from the nougatine, and the malty carby flavor of the cereal. I also get some light coffee notes in here too.
Aside from the amazing flavor, the Double Decker is really all about the texture. It has a play of soft and crunchy, smooth and grainy…. a true master of contrast. It's quite the mouthful too. It's got a very substantial, hefty chew. It's very satisfying and filling because of this.
Love, love this bar. It's everything I was expecting it to be and more. Only downside is because of it's heft, I have to limit myself with these. Or else become a Double Decker myself!
Rating: Will Buy Again

Baltimore is home to 246 monuments and public artworks earning it the moniker, "The Monumental City". The recent uproar over the fate of four of the city's sculptures, such as the Lee and Jackson monument, prompts us to reevaluate how think about and teach history. Should the monuments be melted down (as King George III's statue was in 1776), moved, or interpreted in place? Making use of the collections of the Society and other historical institutions in and out of Baltimore, this illustrated lecture will offer some concrete suggestions for how we may think about city's monuments, both past and future
October 6, 2016 - 6:30pm

Nice that you included a brief item about South Carolina governor Nikki Haley. I am a liberal (on most issues), but as the mainstream media are always being accused of having an anti-conservative bias, it is good to see something that disproves this.
"Second Acts" is always one of my favorite features. I share the joy these women feel at discovering something that brings them happiness in midlife. I have been fortunate in finding something that I enjoy doing—customer service for a government agency—and in getting to work with a mostly female staff (the manager and all of the supervisors are women) who are smart and nice people to have as coworkers.
Regarding "Was I a Good Mother?," the question I have to ask is (of course!) "Was I a Good Father?" Well, Lesley, my bright and beautiful daughter (Jessica) died of cancer in 2010 at the age of 25. I believe she would have given me a passing grade except I know she wished I had not had almost nonstop arguments with her mother about spending. Jessica's mother (Carol) died in February 2010, just eight months before Jessica. J told me that she could not cry when her mother passed because she did not have a single happy memory of her. Sad; I wish it weren't so, but it was true.
The article about Julianna Margulies was typical of More's celebrity profiles: interesting and informative. Margulies seems to be a very likable person.
As a widower who lost a child, I now live alone as does Jenny Allen ("The Richness of Empty Evenings"), and I too have no reason to go home after work or on Saturday afternoons after I have had lunch at the mall and have been to the library. "And now I had a minute. I had many minutes, entire evenings of minutes." It IS a kind of gift, but in my case a bittersweet one. I enjoyed the essays in "Making Time for What Matters"; sweet and thoughtful, all of them.
This is getting to be way too long! Something that comes with having so much time. Let me conclude by saying that I liked the article on Hillary Clinton. I have long admired her intelligence and her commitment to trying to make the world a better place, especially for women and children, but ultimately for us all.
You are doing a good job, Lesley, and you can be proud of your magazine.
—Roger Creps, Cleveland, OH
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the photo on page 42 ("The 13 Best Hair Tips You'll Ever Read," March). I laughed out loud—brilliant!
—Susan Willats, Felton, CA
I have enjoyed your letters from the editor in the past. I was taken a back by this one, though. For a magazine aimed at women over 40, I was surprised to see you write, "Then all at once our children allow us to pee alone." It sounded crass, unsophisticated and mostly juvenile. I think we would have gotten the point if you had said ". . . allow us to be in the bathroom alone." The language of our culture has been on a slippery slope for a long time now, and I'm not sure your comment helped any.
—Sue Gilgen
Glad you have taken time to "smell the flowers" and have discovered gardening
and witnessing the hibiscus . . . I usually count birds on the wing or on the telephone wire on my way to work . . . am a "birder."

Around the age of 2, children begin learning the basic skills of threading and unthreading. Stitching the apple with its wooden worm firmly attached with a long red ribbon, is great practice and great fun. It is 5 inches across and tall, 1/2 inch thick.
This apple is handmade by a local dad from old Walnut trees planted 150 years ago by homesteaders in Northern California. The trees were raised organically and were only cut down when they stopped producing fruit and needed to be replaced. The edges are burnished but there is no oil used on these, the wood is unoiled. USA.
"Dear Sonya, Today we received the sewing apple, it is awesome, thank you for getting it to us so quickly!!! Thanks again, Sincerely, Charles, Fairfield, CA 9/8/05"
"My little one has really enjoyed threading the wooden worm in and out of the sticking apple. It is an excellent tool of enhancing motor skills and practical skills. Candace H. Hopkinsville KY 11/17/08"

Mother's Day is popularly conceived as a high-pressure Hallmark holiday, ostensibly meaningless except to the superficially sainted mothers involved.
As a mother of two and child of a mother, I resent that image - it may be stupid commercial sentimentality that engendered this holiday, but if we're going to have it at all, let's just do it without the snark and make it real.
So, once you outgrow the childish notion that the best presents have to be unwrapped, and stop joking that all mothers want is "for everyone to get along," you can face the fact that, in fact, that IS what all mothers want.
TIME is what we want.
With you, our offspring.
Hence, though I hate to admit it, brunch.
And it's brunch mainly because M-Day is on Sunday, which is something else I have always resented, being more of a tequila-swilling than tea-sipping mama. Why can't we have Mother's Day on Saturday night and do it up right?
Oh well. I'm not so much the Hallmark type of Mom. Here is where you can take yours for a maternal celebration. I've added some pix of famous moms, for inspiration...
Both Café Trio locations offer Mothers Day options: The downtown location will be serving the new a la carte brunch menu and Cottonwood will have a special Mother's Day Buffet. Both locations will be serving our dinner menu and Mother's Day specials in the evening.
Fresco Italian Cafe will be open for both brunch and dinner on Mother's Day - a special a la carte brunch menu from 10am-3pm, and the new spring menu from 3pm-9pm.
And patios are open at both Café Trios and at Fresco.
For moms in high heels, Silver in Park City will serve Mothers Day dinner. (JK about the shoes.)
Zucca's Trattoria is offering a 1:00 PM 4-course brunch celebrating Mom, and the thoughtful Chef Scanu has created a fun menu just for kids too.
The St. Regis Deer Valley has invited twenty-seven Hill Air Force Base families who have family members currently deployed overseas to a complimentary Mother's Day Brunch. You can come, too, for $58 per person; $18 for children 7-12. Brunch is buffet with all the trimmings, including live jazz.
Mom is celebrated several ways at the Bird:
Brunch in the Aerie in the Cliff Lodge from 9 to 3 is $37.95 per person, kids (6-12), $19.95 and 5 and under free
Brunch in the Atrium in the Cliff Lodge from 10:30 to 3 is $32.95 per person, kids (6-12), $15.95 and 5 and under free And, better, treat the mother in your life with a gift certificate for any 80-minute treatment in the Cliff Spa and receive a $50 discount. Call 801-933-2225 for more information.
Lovely Log Haven is serving spring favorites like asparagus soup, leg of lamb and steelhead trout from noon to 5 for $39.95 per person, kids 12 and under, $21.95.

My brother thinks a ruckus is more violent than a rumpus. I think most people normally only use one word or the other for any disturbance/commotion.
Apologies if this looks a bit like a "vote" type of question, but who's right?
My brother thinks a ruckus is more violent than a rumpus. I think most people normally only use one word or the other for any disturbance/commotion.
Apologies if this looks a bit like a "vote" type of question, but who's right?
In American English I'd agree with the connotation of ruckus being undesirable. I know that many people had, and some still have, a rumpus room, but I have never encountered anyone with a ruckus room.
[Edit] In looking for outside confirmation of my own experience, I see that rumpus room also goes by ruckus room.
I still hold that I've never heard that usage in Western US usage, nor in any reading regarding Architecture or home building.
Both rumpus and ruckus (along with fracas and ruction) are nonce words for, as you say, "any disturbance/commotion". So different people can use them in ways that sound right to them.
However, as we demonstrate here continually, any given thing may, or may not, sound "right" to any given person.
This is where phonosemantics comes in. There is a phonosemantic "meaning" (the quotes indicate it's not quite the same thing of "meaning" as dictionary "meaning") around simplex words (monosyllables like rump, plus one-and-a-half-syllable words like rumpus) containing the rhyme (or rime) /-əmp/
As can be seen from the chart in the link, mostly the -əmp words refer to 3-dimensional objects of about the same size in all dimensions (bump, stump, hump, rump, clump), but there are subsidiary categories, too. The word rumpus sits squarely in the middle of the Pejorative category, with a foot in both the Personal (chump frump grump) and the Aural (crump thump trumpet) subcategories.
I.e, rumpus is predisposed phonosemantically to refer to some unpleasant event that makes a noise -- and was possibly intended to make a noise, and possibly intended to be unpleasant, and therefore potentially involves human conflict. Phonosemantic "meaning" never commands, but it can suggest, and that's why it's all over the place in nonce words.
To me the words have very different connotations. Rumpus implies physical activity normally associated with playfulness whereas ruckus only has to do with volume and can be pleasant or, more commonly, unpleasant.
A disturbance can be called a ruckus or a rumpus. The difference is with a ruckus you don't know 100% for sure if it is just a disturbance from one source or if there is a reaction to the disturbance from another person or source, since a ruckus can be either one. A rumpus is just a disturbance with out something or someone else joining in to react or oppose . For that reason , a ruckus is used when there is an altercation between two people, and it is seldom used for just a single person causing a disturbance, although it would not be technically incorrect to use it that way .

Lol, I just realized for all of the Eastern positions. Everyone in the Pistons starting lineup is in the ballot counting..
Lol, I just realized for all of the Eastern positions. Everyone in the Pistons starting lineup is in the ballot counting..
what you people dont realize is that the starters r a lock rite now, itll be lebron and iverson, the rest is up to coach brown (coaches select bench players for all star games and votes have no effect on who they select), and i dont think hed take billups cuz he isnt having a great year, hed prolly take wade, marbury, and pierce
thats just what i think, l8r
I reckon if starbury gets his stats up to 20 points 10 assists 3 rebounds and 1.5 steals that will give him back his all star status.
i dont think he really needs to do that .....hoagies is prob right only thing that might influence his decision is hes going to favor his own player/ nba finals mvp over marbury[hr:a1c752099b]
I dont think Mabury will get in. His season has been quiet. The knicks are not making any noise. I think he'll have a better chance next year. if only the kniks have better success through the rest of the season and go more than one round in the playoffs.
Hey peeps, I think we should take Steph's word on his future performances. In the newspaper articles after he dropped 34 on the Magics, he said that's how hes gonna play for the rest of the season. He said he's gonna be aggressive, and drive to the basket to create for others and score more points. I think he's gonna start looking for his shot now. Also after Zeke chewed him out on playing bad defense I think he's gonna step that up 2.
Before All-Star weekend I can see Steph averaging: 20pts-9asts-4rebs-1.5stls
If he can do that, he should atleast make it as a reserve. And maybe L.Brown will look at the person with more All-Star experience. Let's not forget what Starbury did for the East in his first All-Star game..
after tonites game vs the twolves, if marbury doesnt make the all star game, im gonna boycott ever watching anymore nba games

Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia is a fungal infection of the lungs. The disease used to be called Pneumocystis carini or PCP pneumonia.
Pneumocystosis; PCP; Pneumocystis carinii
This type of pneumonia is caused by the fungus Pneumocystis jiroveci. This fungus is common in the environment and rarely causes illness in healthy people.
However, it can cause a lung infection in people with a weakened immune system due to:
Pneumocystis jiroveci was a relatively rare infection before the AIDS epidemic. Before the use of preventive antibiotics for the condition, most people in the United States with advanced AIDS would develop this infection.
Pneumocystis pneumonia in those with AIDS usually develops slowly over days to weeks or even months, and is less severe. People with pneumocystis pneumonia who do not have AIDS usually get sick faster and are more acutely ill.
Symptoms include:
Antibiotics can be given by mouth (orally) or through a vein (intravenously), depending on the severity of the illness.
People with low oxygen levels and moderate to severe disease are often prescribed corticosteroids as well.
Pneumocystis pneumonia can be life-threatening, causing respiratory failure that can lead to death. People with this condition need early and effective treatment. For moderate to severe pneumocystis pneumonia in people with AIDS, the short term use of corticosteroids has decreased the incidence of death.
If you have a weakened immune system due to AIDS, cancer, transplantation, or corticosteroid use, call your doctor if you develop a cough, fever, or shortness of breath.
Many infections can lead to similar symptoms. Your health care provider can help rule out opportunistic infections such as pneumocystis.
Preventive therapy is recommended for:

Joan Fontcuberta Wins $143,000 Hasselblad Prize
Catalan photographer Joan Fontcuberta has won the 2013 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography. The award comes with a 110,000 Euro (approximately $143,000 US) prize, an exhibition at the Hasselblad Center at the Gothenburg Museum of Art in Sweden in October and a new book of Fontcuberta's work, to be published by Mack. The award was delivered at a ceremony in Barcelona on March 7.
In its citation accompanying the award, the Hasselblad Foundation commended Fontcuberta's "30-year achievement of constantly investigating and questioning the photographic medium." A prolific writer, curator and teacher, Fontcuberta has used photography to create witty fictions that playfully undermine the trustworthiness of photography.
The full story is now on PDNOnline.

Oxnard's Ed Sotelo: Too big to fail?
By Shane Cohn 01/17/2013
Taxpayers should hope that Oxnard City Manager Edmund Sotelo is no different than AIG Inc.
In 2008 the United States government rescued the mega-insurance company American International Group with a $182 billion bailout. A little more than a week ago, AIG was toying with the idea of suing the U.S. government because the interest rates on the bailout were too high.
At about the same time, it was reported that Sotelo was considering suing the city of Oxnard. Sotelo has been on an unexplained paid leave of absence for nearly a year, collecting his entire annual payout of more than $400,000. His contract with the city expires Feb. 28 and the City Council voted last week not to renew it; and his attorney, Bill Seki, said he is going to explore all legal avenues available to his client because they are still in the dark about why he was placed on a leave of absence.
More on this in a minute.
Now, prior to its bailout, AIG was gambling big on mortgage investments that crapped out so badly the company was on the verge of capsizing. The company came to be the poster child for excessive risk. The federal government decided to bail out the company because, as one of the world's largest insurers, if AIG went bankrupt, the damage it could pose to the financial system was atomic. As the spotlight shone on AIG, it was discovered that the company paid millions of dollars in bonuses to top executives and spent lavishly on spa treatments, among other things, while the American public was bailing it out of its perceived trouble.
Back to Sotelo and his possibly suing the city for more taxpayer money because he doesn't know why he is out of a job.
One could argue that perhaps Sotelo, employed by the city for 14 years, was bailed out by Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten's office because the nearly two-year investigation into the city of Oxnard during Sotelo's reign resulted in no arrests, since the statute of limitations of crimes committed had expired. But the "bailout" did highlight some reasons why Sotelo may not be fit to lead the county's largest city, why he, like AIG, is an excessive risk and why the City Council probably didn't want him around this past year.
• He authorized a $300-a-month for life retirement perk for top managers, known as the "supplemental post-retirement benefit checks," without the Council's knowledge.
• He gave himself a $10,000 loan of public funds without the Council's knowledge, which then went unpaid years after it was intended to be paid in full.
• He instructed city staff to "dilly, dally and delay" when doing city work, according to the DA report.
• The city's top officials, during Sotelo's leadership, were using public funds to pay credit card balances for expensive meals, bar tabs, adult films in hotels and travel expenses.
This comparison between a man who headed Ventura County's largest city and one of the world's largest insurers is loose, at best. But it does show that both seem to think they are too big to fail. Sotelo even wrote a letter, dated Dec. 18, stating that he would like to continue his employment with the city.
AIG announced last week that it would not, in fact, sue America, as the public seethed in anger about the potential suit. As the Wall Street Journal put it, the decision spared AIG from looking like a "world-class ingrate." Ed Sotelo, here's looking at you, kid.

Patience pays off with arrest; money may help solve case
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
Viewers of television crime shows may mistakenly perceive that all criminal acts reach a quick resolution. However, that's not always the case for real-life law enforcement officers. Two crimes in Davidson County illustrate that truth, one in which a suspect has now been arrested, another where the culprit remains at large.
Davidson County sheriff's deputies made an arrest this week in the theft of $41,000 from a wrecked Brinks truck. The accident took place Nov. 5, so the arrest came about three and a half months later. Still unsolved is the homicide of Nancy Harvey, the owner of Atlanta Motor Co. who was found dead Jan. 25 in her business. The Lexington Area Crimestoppers has offered a $2,000 award for an arrest and conviction in the case, and additional financial incentives may be coming from the governor's office. Sheriff David Grice has remain tight-lipped about many of the details in the case, but hopefully the money will offer an incentive for someone to come forward with important information that leads to an arrest.
The waiting ended for four Thomasville police officers who had been on administrative leave since a fatal shooting in October. District Attorney Garry Frank cleared the officers after reading the State Bureau of Investigation report into the incident. No officer wants to use deadly force, but sometimes it's necessary when they're confronted with an armed individual. The family of the shooting victim along with the officers and their families all suffer from situations like this.
Davidson County Schools administrators wisely decided to wait until Friday morning to make a decision on whether to delay or cancel classes that day. The forecast was rather iffy about what type of winter precipitation might fall and the amount. Mostly rain fell on Davidson County, and classes took place as normal. Weather decisions are always difficult, and school administrators err on the side of caution. But by holding off, Davidson County didn't lose a day like some other systems that made their decisions Thursday night.
One of the highlights each year for the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce is the naming of the Distinguished Citizen of the Year and Outstanding Woman in the Community. Frank Cagle, retired BB&T senior vice president and area manager for Davidson and Davie counties, and Sandy Motley, executive director of Davidson Medical Ministries Clinic, respectively, won the honors this year. Both have made the greater Lexington community a better place to live, Cagle especially through his efforts for the United Way in addition to his profession and Motley in helping provide medical services to the uninsured.
