all tha happens for me is everything disappears

its hilarious because the few times I got one sun, it turned out to be really boring because the solar system is almost to stable and it was boring
my favorite method is to make a cluster, then make a OMG class object off to the side making the entire system accelerate in that direction, then I delete the OMG and place another one in a location perpendicular to it, that way you get the entire system orbiting the OMG, you get crazy shit like tiny things orbiting medium sized objects orbiting large objects orbiting the OMG
yeah most of the other particles are either colliding into each other or into the stars, but the binary system is remarkably stable.
its pretty cool. i got a binary star system with a bunch of smaller particles going in fucked up orbits around one or both the stars.
really? i didnt know that. thats fascinating.
well after doing some research it seems that most stars are actually single star systems but most stars visible in the night sky are binary/multiple systems because they are on average much brighter than lone stars. less fascinating but still kinda cool.
So, many systems used to be binary systems but they ended up merging into one.
aw man, i was hoping for "deals out of this galaxy"

|Yinka sets record in loss
FRESNO, Calif. - In a game when the Idaho women's basketball had its one of its best shooting nights of the season, it was 27 turnovers and seven second-half Fresno State 3-pointers that proved to be the difference, as the Vandals fell to the Bulldogs 77-51 on Thursday night.
Idaho senior Yinka Olorunnife had her 13th double-double of the season, finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while breaking Idaho's all-time rebounding record along the way. Yinka passed Alli Nieman's previous school-record of 1,005 career rebounds, and is now up to 1,011 in her career, just 14 behind the Western Athletic Conference all-time record of 1,025.
The Vandals (13-13, 6-8 WAC) connected on 17-of-38 (44.7 percent) field goals in the game, including 5-of-14 3-pointers, to match their fourth best shooting performance this season. Idaho also hit 12-of-15 free throws in the game. However, the Bulldogs (20-7, 11-2 WAC) were even hotter from the field, going 32-for-64 (50.0 percent), and went 7-for-11 from 3-point range in the second half. The Bulldogs shot 9-for-22 from 3-point range for the game.
Fresno State held a slim 28-27 edge on the glass, but out-scored the Vandals 12-6 in second chance points.
Idaho junior Keri Arendse finished just two points shy of her career-high, with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Arendse made three 3-pointers, and also had three rebounds and three assists in the game. Freshman Alyssa Charlston had seven points, while senior Derisa Taleni had six points, four rebounds and two assists.
With 17 first-half turnovers, the Vandals trailed by as many as 15 points on two occasions before the break. But the Vandals chipped away at Fresno State's lead, and ended the half on a 7-0 run to make it just an eight point game going into halftime, at 37-29.
The Vandals went 8-of-10 at the free throw line and 3-of-6 from long range, and allowed only one second-chance point in the first half to counteract Fresno State's 17-of-34 first-half shooting performance. Idaho held the nation's best 3-point shooting team to just two 3-pointers in the first half, but the Bulldogs got 30 of their 37 first-half points in the paint to pick up the slack.
Idaho fell behind by as many as 11 points in the early going of the second half, but kept battling back with timely buckets. After trailing 48-37, Idaho went on a 7-2 mini-run, capped by a desperation 3-pointer from Ganeaya Rogers that beat the shot clock buzzer, to pull the Vandals within six at 50-44 with 11 minutes remaining. But Fresno State hit back-to-back 3-pointers to pull ahead 56-44. After an Idaho 3-pointer to make it a nine-point game at 56-47, the Bulldogs went on an 11-0 run, highlighted by three 3-pointers, to put the game away.
Five Bulldogs scored in double-figures, led by 13 points from Taja Edwards, while Marnique Arnold, Taylor Thompson, Hayley Munro and Veronica Wilson each had 12.
The Vandals will wrap up the regular season with road games at New Mexico State (March 3) and Louisiana Tech (March 5) before heading to Las Vegas, Nev., for the WAC tournament March 9-12.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Thumb sucking is one of the most common habits of children. The habit starts early in life, with 90 percent of newborns showing some form of hand sucking by two hours of age.
Thumb sucking is normal in infants and young children and should cause no permanent problems if it is not continued past the age of five. Likewise, it is generally harmless for infants to use pacifiers.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry states that most children stop thumb sucking on their own between the ages of 2 and 4. The Academy states there is no reason to be concerned until the front teeth start erupting. At this point, some problems may occur, including bite problems, or protruding front teeth. Other problems that may occur with thumb sucking are sore thumbs, infections, and calluses on the thumb.
It is thought that pacifier use may actually be better than thumb sucking for the following reasons:
Consult your child's physician if you are concerned with your child's thumb sucking. Generally, it is not a problem for children under the age of five.

Board Policies and Administrative Regulations for Student Grievances
BP 5530 (pdf)
AR 5530 (pdf)
Chancellor's Office Grievance Form
Helpful link: Board Policies and Administrative Regulations Student Grievance Procedures
Glendale Community College is committed to providing a prompt and equitable means of resolving student complaints against actions taken by the college and its employees.
Students may elect to pursue a grievance if they believe a college decision or action has adversely affected their status, rights, or privileges as students.
What can a student grieve?
Students may file grievances against actions by GCC employees in areas including, but not limited to the following: the exercise of rights of free expression; violation of published GCC rules, Board policies, and administrative regulations; and final grade assignments and other academic decisions.
Non-Grade Complaints
A student may address a complaint about an action taken by a college employee that does not involve course grades through the grievance process. Informal meetings and discussions between persons directly involved in a non-grade grievance are essential and encouraged at all stages of the dispute. If the grievance cannot be resolved directly with the involved employee, the student may request a meeting with the appropriate administrator/manager or division chairperson who shall attempt to resolve the issue informally.
If no informal resolution is reached with the administrator/manager or division chairperson that is satisfactory to the student, the student may submit a written complaint and request for a conference with the appropriate senior GCC administrator as follows:
• Instructional Services employees: Vice President, Instructional Services or designee
• Student Services employees: Vice President, Student Services or designee
• Administrative Services employees: Vice President, Administrative Services or designee
• College administrators: Superintendent/President or designee
The senior administrator shall attempt to settle the grievance through mediation, negotiated agreement, or another mutually acceptable resolution. Final outcomes or resolutions will be communicated to the involved parties after the conclusion of the grievance process.
Grade Appeals
The grade appeals procedure provides a means of resolving a student's dispute of an academic decision or final grade for a course. Students are entitled to an informal review and explanation of their grades by instructors who are obligated to provide such a review. However, students may only appeal a grade if they are prepared to carry the burden of proving one or more of the following conditions as specified by law:
• A mistake in the assignment of the grade or in the process of its recording
• Fraud
• Bad faith
• Incompetence
A student must file a grade appeal with the instructor within the next regular semester (as specified in the applicable class schedule) following the award of the original grade. The student is expected to make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter on an informal basis with the instructor. If the grade appeal cannot be settled informally then the student may request a meeting with the appropriate division chairperson who will attempt to resolve the grievance.
If the division chairperson cannot resolve the grade appeal then the student may request a conference with the appropriate dean. The dean will attempt to resolve the grade appeal through compromise, negotiated settlement, or a recommendation that is satisfactory to the student and instructor. If the dean is unable to resolve the complaint and the student wishes to continue the grade appeal process, the student may submit a written request for a formal grade appeal hearing to the Campus Judicial Board.
The Campus Judicial Board will conduct a closed hearing and based on the examination of supporting documents and testimony may take the following actions: 1) accept the formal grade appeal and recommend an administrative grade change; 2) reject the formal grade appeal; and 3) make related recommendations as appropriate. The Campus Judicial Board will issue a written decision that determines if the student established a rationale for a grade change according to applicable laws and includes recommendations for the relief, if any, that should be afforded to the student. These findings are then submitted to the Superintendent/ President for a final review.
After reviewing the report of findings and recommended actions from the Campus Judicial Board, the Superintendent/President will issue a written decision to the involved parties. The Superintendent/President's decision shall be final and binding in all formal grade appeal hearings.
Where can a student get a copy of the GCC student grievance procedures?
Copies of the student grievance policy and procedures can be obtained from a division chairperson, the Dean of Student Affairs, the Dean of Instructional Services, the Dean of Student Services, and the Dean of Admissions and Records.

Oregon OSHA is launching a new website this week. You will need to update your bookmarks.
The new website is designed to work well on mobile devices and increase accessibility for people with disabilities.
The current recession has reduced state revenues, and has forced the Legislature to make deep cuts in agency budgets. Coping with these cuts includes closing the Department of Consumer and Business Services on 10 Fridays that fall throughout the current two-year budget period.
The department is closed on Friday, March 23, for a mandatory unpaid furlough day. However, like state police and others who provide essential public safety services, Oregon OSHA enforcement officers will be in the field to inspect workplaces in a wide range of industries. The enforcement staff will take their unpaid furloughs on alternative days.
Employees who want to file a complaint with Oregon OSHA on a closure day can still do so online at http://www.orosha.org/subjects/complaints.html; to report an imminent danger threat, they should call 800-922-2689.
We regret any inconvenience this closure may cause, and we look forward to reopening Monday morning, March 26.
For a full list of closure days, click here.

Properly maintained, your Mirage harness/container system will last for years through thousands of jumps. We've made every effort to find and use the best materials available. Several manufacturers offer lower grade, less durable materials in order to lower their manufacturing costs. Do you really want cheap materials in a life saving device? We didn't think so.
Build your rig with the experts at Mirage.
The true secret of Mirage Systems' success lies in our experience. The production employees of Mirage Systems have been building harness/containers longer than most people have been skydiving. Their experience allows us to set higher standards for quality than are found elsewhere in the skydiving industry. The staff takes pride in the fine detail of their work. Mirage Systems may not be the largest container manufacturer in the industry, but we are committed to being the best.
Improvements you can feel.
The new G4 yoke is a 2 piece "split" design with several advantages. It allows the reserve risers to flow more naturally over the shoulders and into the reserve container, resulting in a more supple, comfortable feel around the neck. It is more adaptable to variations in reserve pack jobs. It also allows a smaller reserve pin cover flap, which needs smaller tuck tabs, which in turn makes the reserve easier to pin check.
You'll forget you are wearing a rig!
With the exception of the backpad area, all Mirage containers carry identical padding. The legstrap padding is thick, firm and practically indestructible, so that even after thousands of jumps they will feel as comfortable as they do on Day one. The harness padding is mostly over the shoulders, where the rig rests. On the Unisyn harness all ring locations are also padded, so no hardware contacts the wearer.CONFORMING HARNESS GEOMETRY
Your rig moves with you, not against you.
Much of the comfort of a rig comes from the way the harness conforms to the user's body. The Mirage Unisyn harness was specifically designed to flex at the natural junction points of the human body. This design has helped to eliminate harness buckling and twisting, as the harness takes straight paths between junction points. The Unisyn moves with you, on the ground and in the air, so well that some users have said it didn't feel like they had a rig on.
Virtually eliminate rig shifting.
For increased comfort and stability, Mirage Systems added an elastic lumbar support across the lower container to comfortably snug the G4 to your lower back without cutting into you. The Elastic Lumbar Support gently provides lower back support while stabilizing the container, making the jumper and container feel more as one. This feature is adjustable, replaceable, and permanently removable. Those who prefer a more fixed solution may select Inset Stabilizers for their G4 at no extra charge.
Your canopy never peeks out!
In freefall loose flaps are sloppy, distracting and potentially downright dangerous. Mirage containers are well known for staying closed until YOU want them open. In fact, our main pin protection is so tight that the main pin cover doesn't even come open on deployment. We have zero bridle exposure, and our riser cover security sets the industry standard for reliability.
Rigs designed with high speed flying in mind.
Freeflying pushes any rig to the limit by applying high aerodynamic forces at arbitrary angles. At these speeds and attitudes loose flaps and premature deployments are absolutely unacceptable. Mirage containers are designed with these principles in mind because vertical flying is the most challenging environment that a rig will be called to deal with. Bridle exposure, riser retention, pin covers and other critical components are all tested and proven to provide Mirage owners with confidence and peace of mind.
Maximum security where it counts.
Pin protection on both main and reserve containers is critical to safety. Accidental pin releases caused by brushing against something when sitting down in the plane, the door on exit, other jumpers in freefall, or lines in a canopy collision can lead to unintended and/or out of sequence deployments. The design of the Mirage provides the most pin security currently available in the industry
Fast reserve deployment, only when needed.
Our reserve pin cover flap uses a unique pocket to tuck away the flap ends. The tongue of the pin cover slips into a pocket in the center flap, and contains a built-in hinge to assist separation during reserve deployment. Furthermore, because the pocket opening is located directly over the outside edge of the reserve pilot chute cap, the deployment force of the reserve pilot chute spring serves to untuck (slide out) rather than unfold (bend out) the reserve pin cover and #6 flap. This helps preserve pilot chute energy for the main job - launching your reserve.
They stay put regardless of your attitude.
We at Mirage Systems believe that tuck tab riser covers are the best possible way to armor an area of the container that would otherwise be extremely vulnerable to wind forces. Our tuck tabs are designed modularly, to facilitate in-field replacement. The attachment location is placed over the shoulder, near the front of the rig, to allow for variation in reserve pack jobs. The profile of the tuck tabs is squared, for positive retention and fixed release force. Mirage Systems guarantees that our tuck tab riser covers will work as they were designed for the life of the container.
Lines and toggles remain secure in freefall.
We also provide secondary riser covers. These small riser covers are located under the main riser covers, along the side of the reserve container, to contain the main toggles and steering lines. They prevent any sort of displacement or accidental deployment during multi-attitude (back or head to earth) jumps.
Give your rig the edge it needs to stand out.
Since the beginning Mirage Systems has offered customers the option of adding a finishing touch to the center flap for a minimal fee. Piping is a thin accent stripe in between the center flap stripes. These accent stripes add distinction throughout the center flap. Many of our customers choose piping to add a conservative splash of color to their design.
Design a kaleidoscope of tye-dye colors.
This option probably has the most dramatic effect on a Mirage color design. Each flap tie-dyed is hand wrapped and dyed to create either a marble, spiral, or custom pattern. The process involves dyeing the lighter colored fabric with a desired darker color. The greater the contrast the better the tie-dye appears. Some fabrics can be dyed in multiple colors to create a very unique container design. Multiple dyes on one fabric do cost slightly more than the standard tie-dye rate. Tie-dye prices are either "full" or "partial", depending on how much of the total container is dyed.
Please note that not all tie-dye color combinations "work". For example, red and green usually mix to form brown.
The rig speaks for itself - name tag optional.
A number of Mirage Systems corporate logos are available to be applied to custom containers, all at no charge. These logos are sewn in any available thread color of your choice, on a number of different flap locations. The G4 and G3 come standard with "MIRAGE" on the #1 flap (yoke), which is required. They also come standard with "Mirage" on the right ring cover and the Mirage Systems "alien" logo on the left ring cover. These ring cover logos can be deleted or replaced with customer logos at additional cost. Mirage sidewall logos are also available at no charge, but are only applied to custom rigs by request.
Instant messaging for your rig!
Simple text embroidery, with no graphics, is available to personalize your rig at low cost. Text embroidery is typically applied to the ring covers, sidewalls, cutaway handle or soft reserve handle. The latter two locations are popular because they make it easy to "de-personalize" a rig prior to resale.
You show it, we sew it. Now that's custom!
Complex graphic logos can also be applied to a custom rig during manufacture. The logos must be sized appropriately (10" x 3"on a sidewall, 2.5" x 2.5" on a ring cover) and will be billed according to their complexity (stitch count). Embroidery machines use a special format digital file to tell it how to sew an image. These files are generated from original artwork, such as a digital JPEG file, using specialized software. If you already have the digital stitch file in a format we can read, from previous apparel embroidery for example, you can forward that to us by email for production use.
If you supply us with artwork which we must digitize into a stitch file, there is an additional one-time charge for this service which can run into hundreds of dollars for complex designs. Contact us directly for further information and specific pricing on your job.
Hardware options provide polish, durability, and value.
Mirage Systems gives you two choices of top quality hardware. Our Cadmium hardware is standard on all container and harness types and sizes including friction adapters and three rings. It provides a durable, yet economical solution for those who purchase our base model.
Our optional premium hardware is made from high-quality Stainless Steel. It never rusts, pits, or loses its shiny, polished look. As an added benefit, Stainless hardware typically increases the resale value of your harness/container system.
Pick the 3-ring system that's right for you.
For their compact style, mini-rings have become our most popular 3-ring option. They provide you the choice of either 1" (mini, type-17) or 2" (type-8) risers, and under normal loads produce only a slight degradation in performance over the larger standard rings. If you prefer standard rings, your selection of risers is limited to the 2" (type-8) variety. Standard rings provide a slightly more efficient release, and may be appropriate under heavier loads.
Your harness will remain securely in place with any choice of these fine Mirage friction adaptors.
Mirage Systems offers three types of leg strap friction adaptors. Standard and Nickel harness hardware configurations come equipped with our Cadmium plated, large frame, quick fit adaptor. Those who have opted for Stainless Steel hardware may choose from two additional styles; a two-piece locking design, or a small frame, slide bar, quick fit design.
Note: The unthreading and threading of the small frame friction adaptor is possible, but much more difficult.
Technology enabled security, comfort, and mobility - in a harness!
Mirage Systems takes pride in its ability to offer the most comfortable harness/container systems on the market. We build three strong, comfortable harnesses from which you may choose.
Our standard harness is available with every size and model container we offer. It benefits from 25 years of accumulated harness research and development, while providing you with the best fit and comfort available in a non-articulating design.
Our hip-ring design is available for those who require increased flexibility to perform manuevers in their harness. Rather than stitching, a piece of hardware is installed at the lower junction of the harness. This allows coordinated movements at any angle while eliminating the binding of harness materials.
For those who desire maximum security, flexibilty, and comfort, we offer the greatest achievement in harness design to date. We call it the Unisyn. The Unisyn harness is the most articulating, conforming harness on the market. By re-engineering the way we attach harness components, we were able to position both hip and chest rings without compromise. We designed a harness that effortlessly moves where you do.
Choose the harness that's right for your needs!
Side-to-side stability provides extra control.
Stabilizers are the portions of the container that extend from the lower corners of the main container forward to connect with the harness. Their function is to connect the lower portion of the container to the harness while "stabilizing" it from moving from side to side. The stabilizers work best if the jumper is slightly wider than the container.
To more closely conform to the jumper's body, we offer Inset Stabilizers as an option. These stabilizers attach to the backpad inboard of the outer edge of the container. This is especially useful for jumpers with a small waistline.
On the Unisyn harness the stabilizers are padded for additional comfort.
Keep your leg straps in place during high performance maneuvers.
Mirage Systems was there and you were heard! After receiving many requests from freestyle and freeflying jumpers, Mirage responded by providing retainer options for the jumper who often experiences leg strap movement during sit-flying and other aerobatic maneuvers. All components are easily field replaceable. Check them out!
Fine tuned performance, reliability - in colors!
Thanks to great feedback from our dealers and customers our Anti-twist Armored Risers have undergone incremental upgrades over the past few years. For example, our risers now have a clamp on the hard housing inside the sheath. We build the most durable risers possible, but please take care of your equipment so that it can take care of you!
Available colors are: White, Blackberry, Red, Charcoal, Gold, Yellow, Navy, Royal Blue, Silver, Jade, and Black.
If you are ordering replacement risers, please specify the length (18" 20" 22"), color, webbing type (Mini or Large), toggle type (Velcro, Velcroless), ring size (Mini or Standard), and hardware type (Standard or Stainless Steel).
Innovative Velcro or Velcro-less designs
We've come to the conclusion that no single design will appeal to all jumpers, so we continue to offer a choice of either Velcro or Velcro-less risers/toggles.
The Velcro toggles are quickly and easily mated with their respective riser. Additionally, a Velcro keeper is provided for excess steering line stowage.
Gold is the standard color, but you can also choose Red, White, Royal Blue, Navy Blue, or Black.
You grasp for it, and it's there. Enough said!
We strive to have the safest rig possible, and we don't stop when it comes to our hook knives. When you order a hook knife from Mirage Systems you will receive a 4" aluminum knife with a narrow "mouth" to the blade. The narrow mouth is designed to keep fingers from accidentally being cut. Most hook knives on the market are made with a plastic handle which can break or snap during use. This is simply unacceptable!
Familiarity is everything when it comes to deployment!
At Mirage Systems, we offer a choice of several styles of main deployment.
The "Pull-Out" and "BOC Throw-out" deployment methods enjoy industry-wide acceptance. While Mirage recommends the BOC Throw-out deployment style, we offer both styles to accomodate jumpers who have become accustomed to one or the other. When it comes to deployment, familiarity ensures safety!
Our Bottom of Container Thow-out deployment system features complete bridle protection and double-layered, high-performance spandex for maximum security and reliability. The main pilot chute's bridle runs securely behind the right main side-flap. When deployed, this bridle removes a curved pin from the closing loop that secures the contents of the container.
Experienced jumpers who prefer Pull-out style deployment may opt for our Velcro-less pull-out system. Call Mirage Systems for further details.
Flying 200mph? Pick the handle that's right for you!
The Mirage Systems standard BOC main handle is comprised of tubular plastic surrounding the main pilot chute webbing. However, we recommend one of the following state-of-the-art handle options:
Comfortable leather ball that fits nicely in the palm of your hand. We offer two sizes of hacky: standard and extra-large. They are custom built in your choice of one or two of the following leather colors: Black, Navy Blue, Charcoal, Red, Royal Blue, Silver, Blueberry, Magenta, Jade, Neon Blue, Neon Pink, Lime Green, Yellow, Lemon, Tangerine, White, Dark Green, Turquoise, Light Blue, Lavender, Orange, Gold, Apple, or Neon Yellow.
For skydivers who demand additional main pilot chute protection, we offer the Mirage Freefly Handle. This low-profile main deployment handle uses a Velcro-less tuck-tab and the existing bridle protection flap to securely hold the BOC pilot chute in place. The freefly handle is built in a fashion that makes it difficult to accidentally dislodge, but easy to deploy at pull time using a fingertip grab. Freefly handles come in all Mirage container fabric colors.
For those of you who just can't seem to make up your mind, we now offer the Freefly Hacky Handle! It offers much of the same protection as the Mirage Freefly Handle, but with the ever familiar ball-in-palm feel. It is made of leather and is available with all of the same color options as the Hacky Handle above.
Safety with a softie!
The standard Mirage Systems reserve ripcord handle is a metal mini D-ring design.
We also offer a soft reserve ripcord handle, which looks and feels similar to the cutaway handle. It is very resistant to inadvertent snagging and floating, is offered in any color, and may be embroidered. The soft handle is great for use in conjunction with the Unisyn harness, avoiding the introduction of a stiff handle into a very flexible harness style. Both Free-flyers and Flat-flyers benefit from the use of this handle, but because of its resistance to snagging, Free-flyers consider this handle a must!
Instant deployment of your reserve upon cutaway!
The Reserve Static Line system consists of a lanyard between the left main riser and the reserve ripcord. It is designed to use the mechanical force of the released main risers after a cutaway to pull the reserve ripcord pin. It is not guaranteed to function properly and should not be relied upon to activate your reserve. The standard RSL is a bronze fixed-ball snap shackle. The stainless steel RSL is a hot-forged Stainless Steel fixed-ball snap shackle. Both styles use a full release arm.G3 DELUXE BACKPAD
Extra padding for long days at the dropzone.
Building the most comfortable rig on the market requires thoughtfulness and ingenuity. Our standard backpads have been used for years by faithful Mirage jumpers who have spent long days at the dropzone without discomfort. However, if your back is sensitive to the extreme pressures of skydiving or simply wearing a fully loaded rig around the dropzone, we provide you with the option of a deluxe backpad on our G-3 models.
In a hurry? Try our rush delivery service.
Mirage Systems believes that quick delivery times are an integral part of good customer service. For this reason we strive to keep our delivery times as short as possible, making ALL of our deliveries a "rush" delivery. Mirage Systems does, however, offer a 'No later than' service for those customers who need or want their container shipped by a specific date. This helps those who really need their rig for a specific itinerary, or even those who simply enjoy instant gratification. 'No later than' rigs are essentially handheld through production and shipping by the production manager and the customer service manager. Due to the additional work required and the need to maintain fairness to all customers, we strictly adhere to the following rush fee schedule.

Post subject: Toni Blake--Letters to a Secret Lover
Been meaning to post about this book ever since I finished it last week. I had been getting over a bad read and was feeling disgusted with the genre in general. I usually love Toni Blake, but this was not one I was looking forward to. The heroine is a fashionista (the kind of heroine I usually hate) who goes to Idaho to buy her great aunt's canoe business back. And the hero is, of course, the guy who now owns the canoe business. But she hooked me. Blake has such a way of creating an emotional connection between the hero and heroine that you just believe they will be together no matter what happens. Add to that a cute dog and gorgeous scenery and some HOT love scenes and this book was awesome.
Anybody read something lately that got them out of a reading slump?

You too. *sigh*. I've read so many positive reviews about this book that I wanted to like it... but unfortunately I didn't. Well, not as much as I hoped, anyway.
My problem is the heroine, obviously. Wasn't there a thread in which someone noted how detailed descriptions of clothes you don't like can pull you off the story? Well, I don't like animal-printed clothes and I'm not particularly fond of the colour fuchsia, especially paired together. Unfortunately the heroine differs
She's a thirty-four years old behaving often like a teenager - writing about her sex life on a blog, giving away so many details?! And she's a public figure of sorts. Am I the only one who thinks it's stupid or at least a little embarassing? And, come on, no trolls leaves a comment? Not even one? Even after her break-up was covered by every tabloid in Chicago? How realistic is that?
I disliked her attitude towards the canoe business too. I know she says it would be the perfect starting point for rebuilding her life, finding her roots etc., but... the canoe business is clearly the hero's (Adam?). He has purchased it, he knows what he's doing, it's rightly his. I know - she comes to realize that. Many of her musings about it irked me though.
And she's pushy. So very pushy. I know - with a hero like Adam(?) the heroine
be pushy. But I don't like pushiness, in heroines or heros.
And Adam... tortured and dark, and helpless to resist her. I liked him most of the times, but maybe he was a little
too much
... I don't know.
You see, I suspect I'm a little burn out
It makes me bitchy
But I agree that the sex scenes were very hot

Interestng--I can see all your points but those things didn't really bother me. I guess I was able to suspend my disbelief re: all the blogging stuff, though her detailed blogs did make me squrm a little. But I just figured that was her thing. Oh well. Different strokes.
I think Doris Lessing has a quote "Don't read a book out of its right time fo you." It's just not your time to read LTASL--or it might never be;) I hope you get out of your slump. It's so frustrating. And when I'm in a mood even the greatest book ever written couldn't move me.

Reynolds Assault Limited Clincher Road Wheelset - Performance ExclusiveIf you've been sitting on the fence regarding all-carbon clinchers, then Reynold's has some wheels that are finally worth jumping on. The Assault Limited Clincher Wheelset is equipped with aggressive, 46mm deep-V rims for increased stability, aerodynamic speed and a stiff, yet lightweight ride. They're even built to withstand severe lateral force, so the wheels dig harder and drive faster -- perfect for training and racing. Reynold's patented carbon rim construction is achieved through three technologies: Hybrid Modulus Laminate puts optimal carbon fiber in each unique region of the rim, Variable Resin Technology applies the ideal resin to bind the fibers, and Gas Compaction molds and cures the rims for increased strength, stiffness and durability. CTg carbon fiber rim-and-brake pad pairing runs up to 53% cooler than standard rim-and-pad combinations, and ensures smooth, predictable braking power. Custom silver graphics and details are eye-catching and look fast. Exclusively available at Performance Bicycle.
These wheels are eligible for the Reynolds Assurance Program.

Women's Hockey Skates to 1-1 Tie with Union
SCHNECTADY, N.Y. (11/10/12) - The Union women's hockey team scored an extra-attacked goal in the final minute of regulation to force a 1-1 tie with Princeton on Saturday, Nov. 10 at Messa Rink.
Senior Kelly Cooke scored in the first period to give Princeton the lead it would hold throughout the game. The Tigers capitalized on their first power-play opportunity of the game when seniors Corey Stearns and Alex Kinney set up Cooke for the goal at 18:58 of the first.
Union netminder Shenae Lundberg 25 saves in goal before being removed in favor of the extra attacker with 55 seconds left on the clock. A flurry of shots ensued, with Princeton goaltender Kimberly Newell making three consecutive saves. The fourth shot by Rihanna Kurio, a rebound, would get past Newell with just 35 seconds left on the clock.
In overtime both teams held its grounds defensively. Junior Olivia Mucha rifled a shot wide and sophomore Brianna Leahy followed up with a shot that was turned away by Lundberg. A slapshot on the other end by Maddy Norton sailed wide and the teams deadlocked at 1-1.
Newell made 34 saves in goal for the Tigers, while Lundberg finished the game with 26 saves.
The Tigers were 1 for 4 on the power play and 5 for 5 on the penalty kill.
Princeton is now 3-3-2 overall and 1-3-2 in the ECAC. Union moves to 3-5-2 and 0-2-2 in league play.
Princeton begins a seven-game homestand next weekend when it hosts St. Lawrence and Clarkson on Nov. 16 & 17.

Just got home from work.
WHAT THE **** lol
Just got home from work.
WHAT THE **** lol
Knicks toying with the opponent...feels great to be able to say that
**** this is ridiculous.
Can you imagine how good we can be.
If we manage a 50 point lead D'Antoni gonna look da fool.
this is just . . . wow
funny how we are playing d'antoni ball now that he is gone LOL
Jorts for 3 and then the 3 goggles hahahaah.
i know we are up by 40, but i hope the coach called that timeout to concentrate on keeping Portland below 80
remember a few weeks ago that keeping teams to 20 points a quarter was the goal.. Defense wins games ...
But seriously you should lighten up with all the hate on Lin. Dude is pretty much a rookie. Going undrafted to the D-League and starting for an NBA team (doing well in the process too) is amazing for any player. He def needs to cut dwn on the TO's but other then that he is great driving to the basket, good passer and decision maker, and has a decent jumpshot as well. Kid has a bright future. He may never be a star, but he can be a damn good player in this league if he continues to develop and play his game.
Would bringing Toney Douglas on be a risk at this point in the game? do wee need to go further in front before we see him?

Veneralia: Experiencing Art in Architect
Attendees of Veneralia: Experiencing Art in Architecture gathered in commemoration of the architectural contributions made by guest of honor Michael Graves and to raise money to continue Emory's legacy.
Ancient artifacts were given new life by designers who each schemed out a space based on the relics, leading to themes such as To Rome with Love and Sub-Saharan Safari. The exoticism (and undoubtedly the Champagne) swept guests away while they enjoyed global cuisine and a silent auction. Photos by Jim Fitts

Gunnar: "Rick Nelson's rock and roll ambitions ... one of the most culturally significant forces of pop. He was the first rock and roll performer created in the public mind through television. A rock and roll star coming from left ... or in this case, right field ... down the street from Ozzie and Harriet's house. Elvis Presley, the original bobcat, was a cultural outsider whose music was considered frightening to most of America's parents. But Ricky Nelson wasn't a threat. He was the kid next door, and he set an example for millions of teens, who, through rock and roll, found a way to undermine the sterility of the Eisenhower years. Ricky might have made rock a little easier to comprehend, but it didn't dilute his energy or his inherent message. There was a sincerity and honesty to his music that all the teen idols of the whitewashed 50's lacked. Rick Nelson bridged the gritty sensuality of rockabilly and the suave waspish endearments of pop. Compared to the original rock that inspired him at the time, Nelson may have been a bit laid back, but his cool charisma and impeccable taste in material and in musicians displayed an intuitive knowledge of rock and roll values. The bridge that Nelson built between rockabilly and pop carried over a lot fans who might have originally avoided rock because of its baser instincts. Like James Dean and Elvis, Ricky Nelson was a beautiful boy who was also an outsider. You never quite knew what was going on inside the head of Ozzie and Harriet's kid, and there was that slightly remote, untouchable quality that made Rick Nelson a great teen idol ... the handsome but solitary romantic."
Tracy Nelson: "It was to Rick Nelson's credit that he was aware of the fact that even as a teenager, he had the savvy that when they called him a teenage idol, affecting the state of affairs with a bittersweet, not smarmy twist. Nelson could appreciate the irony of his career. People sometimes compared Rick Nelson to Elvis, but Elvis would never have written a song like "Garden Party" because Elvis never sang Dylan songs to oldies fans. Rick Nelson did sing Dylan. He also sang country, and what he lacked in soul he made up in ability. He was smart, he had a sense of craft and he won't be forgotten. Good taste is timeless. I just want to say that it's hard to know what pop would have wanted us to say here, but I can honestly say that there's nothing ... no other honor that would have meant more to him than this, and I really wish he was here. Thank you."

Chemical burns occur when a child gets any type of chemical in his/her eye. This is a medical emergency, and the child should receive immediate medical care. Chemical burns can result in a loss of vision and even a loss of the eye itself, if not treated promptly and accurately. Household cleaning agents are a common cause of this type of injury.
The following are the most common symptoms of chemical burns in the eye. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of chemical burns of the eye(s) may resemble other eye conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually made after a complete medical history and physical examination of your child's eye. Local anesthetic drops in the eye may be used in order to examine the child.
Specific treatment for chemical burns in the eye will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Most children with a chemical burn will be treated in the emergency room. An ophthalmologist (physician who specializes in comprehensive eye care) will usually be involved in the care of the child. Treatment includes immediate washing of the eye with saline for about 20 to 30 minutes. Local anesthetic drops may be placed in the eye prior to the washing to help decrease the pain. The eye is usually held open with a special instrument to assure the saline gets into the eye. Some children may need to be sedated under general anesthesia in order to perform the procedure.

AUSTIN, Texas -
Day one of the Texas Invitational proved to be a good starting spot for the Arizona Swim team, as the Wildcats collected six first-place finishes and qualified 3 individuals and 3 relay teams for the NCAA Championships.
The Day was kicked off by Giles Smith qualifying for the NCAA Championships in the prelim of the 100 fly event with a time of 44.75. Also qualifying for the Championships during prelims was Margo Geer in the 50 free with a time of 21.92.

The women's team claimed the 400 medley relay top spot as well. The team of Geer, Bonnie Brandon, Ashley Evans, and Emma Schoettmer just outouched the women of USC with a time of 3:33.66. That time qualified the team for the NCAA Championships.

The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" is never actually said in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writings on the world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes, but its something we all anxiously await every time we see one of the plays.
But now, thanks to YouthStage at The Children's Theatre, I have a new favorite Holmes quote: "This is a dark and dangerous business, Watson."
And it's certainly true in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The kids' chiller came just in time for Halloween and follows the detective in an effort to protect Sir Henry, the heir to the Baskerville estate, from an old family curse, a phantom beast or even a cerebral killer.
The play, performed by kids 17 and younger, is filled with villain chase scenes, total suspense and a bit of horror. And even though the plot is complex and the dialogue is heavy, most kids will love it.
I sat right next to a group of them on the opening night, Oct. 22, since my plus one has a broken foot and the easiest place for us to sit was the kid's bench. Every time the stage went dark and we heard the hound's howl, the little girl sitting next to me was shocked with excitement, and her hands were glued to her cheeks. But if your kid is easily spooked, this might not be your play. It seemed like most of the ones I saw were laughing by the end though, and the theatre says it's for ages six and up.
The YouthStage cast members show a lot of passion in their roles and are on the way to being great actors. They are learning and you can't expect perfection, but the kids actually rival several adult acting companies I've seen lately.
I love how this theatre always does so much with so little. Instead of focusing on expensive props and intricate sets, The Children's Theatre brings the cast and audiences' imaginations into the show. Watson and Holmes chase a convict across an empty stage, which become woods filled with snapping twigs and wild animals. Laura Lyons peers across the stage through an imaginary upstairs window to make sure the detective and his partner have left her property. The crowd believes every bit.
And my favorite part, the hound! Seeing the lights dim and the snarling beast chase townspeople around the stage/moor might be worth the $8 to see the show on its own. Another highlight is the wardrobe, which really helped set the scene in 19th century England.
The first and second nights of the play sold out, and it might happen again on Halloween weekend. The play is about two hours with a short intermission. It runs through Oct. 30.
After Holmes, the MainStage actors are back with The Frog Prince starting Nov. 5, and the YouthStage actors return for Little Women on March 11.

Howdy all, I need some help on working out a stamp in a guitar. The instrument is a Kay-made Silvertone jumbo, I'm told was made in the 1950s. The number inside, stamped on the back timber reads L7561, then a space, followed by the Model number 618. Can anyone tell me what that first L7561 part means?
Lyricsfreak.com has lots of lyric that you can print.
Does anyone have a good web source for blues lyrics and chords? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there for the blues. I'm talking about the top blues songs from the past mostly - if anyone has a suggestion could you let me know.
Have some new studio audio on the reverb site for your browsing. Let me know how you like. www.reverbnation.com/patrickmcewen
Some good ole blues and slide.
Adam Traum is certainly not steering you wrong. Pick up the DVD or download the lesson Homespun put together featuring Happy Traum and John Sebastien teaching John Hurt tunes. These are two guys who knew him and they do a great job of brining his music and personality to the project. (Personally I think the story Sebastien relates about how his 60's group got its name is worth the price alone - but then I'm not well).
If you go to youtube, there are some old black and white videos of John Hurt playing. You can learn a lot of his fingerstyle just rewinding over and over. I'm wishing he was still on tour.
Mr. Traum speaks the truth. Those lessons are clear & insightful.
Not that I'm biased or anything, but here's a great resource for playing in the style of Mississippi John from Homespun:
Evan and Patrick,
Thanks for the info!

Communications: Israel is connected to the world's major commercial, financial and academic data networks and is fully integrated into international communications systems by means of underwater fiber-optic lines and satellite link-ups. The country ranks high, on a per capita basis, in telephone lines, computers, and Internet users.
Israel is one of the first countries worldwide to have 100 percent digitalization of its telephone network, which enables the provision of a range of state-of-the art services for subscribers. In addition, Israel has one of the world's highest cellular phone penetration rates.
Postal services operate throughout Israel and connect it with most countries abroad. The Philatelic Service has issued over 1,500 stamps. Many well-known Israeli artists have helped create these 'calling cards', some of which have already attained the status of classics and are eagerly sought by collectors.
Roads: In a country of short distances, cars, buses, and trucks are the main means of transportation. In recent years, the road network has been extensively expanded and improved to accommodate the rapid increase in the number of vehicles as well as to make even the most remote communities accessible. The Trans-Israel Highway (Route 6) a multi-lane highway that is Israel's first toll road, has been completed for most of its projected 300 km. (190 mile) length, from Be'er Sheva in the South and branching out to Nahariya in the North. This road makes it possible to bypass heavily populated areas, thus easing traffic congestion and providing fast access to most areas of the country.- Broadband Policy and Development in Israel (Ministry of Communications)
Railways: Israel Railways operates passenger services among Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Nahariya, Be'er Sheva, and Dimona. Freight services also operate further south, serving the port of Ashdod, the city of Ashkelon, and the mineral quarries south of Dimona. In recent years, both rail freight and passenger usage has increased. To help alleviate problems caused by increased road-traffic density, rapid rail transit services - utilizing upgraded existing tracks - have been instituted in the Tel Aviv and Haifa areas, operated in coordination with bus feeder lines. Many outmoded coaches now in use are being replaced by modern, air-conditioned passenger cars, and up-to-date mechanical track-maintenance equipment is being put into operation. In Jerusalem, a light-rail urban system is under construction.
Seaports: The ancient ports of Jaffa (Yafo), Caesarea and Acre (Akko) have been replaced by three modern deepwater harbors at Haifa, Ashdod, and Eilat which serve international shipping. Haifa Port is one of the largest container ports on the Mediterranean Sea as well as a busy passenger terminal; Ashdod Port is used mainly for shipping goods; and the port of Eilat on the Red Sea links Israel to the southern hemisphere and the Far East. In addition, a tanker port in Ashkelon receives fuel shipments, and a direct off-loading facility for freighters supplying coal to the nearby power station operates in Hadera.
Recognizing that Israel's geographic location gives it the potential to become a transit country for passengers and goods traversing the region, the Ports and Railways Authority has designed a long-term master plan to meet future transportation needs. Among other priorities, it advocates developing a modern rail system, instituting state-of-the-art equipment in every phase of its land and sea operations, and setting up a network of computer systems to control and supervise all of its services.
Airports: Ben-Gurion International Airport (a 25-minute drive from Tel Aviv, 50 minutes from Jerusalem) is Israel's main and largest air terminal. Due to anticipated increases in the numbers of passenger arrivals and departures, the airport has been extensively enlarged, with new state-of-the art terminals. Charter flights, mainly from Europe, and domestic air travel are served by Eilat Airport in the South and small airports near Tel Aviv in the Center and Rosh Pina in the North.

On May 24, 2013, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, will unveil a new, two-story retrospective exhibit titled "Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction." Among the artifacts to be included in the Rolling Stones exhibit is the original collage art design that would appear in the inner gatefold sleeve of the group's Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Their Satanic Majesties Request was a psychedelic response to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which was released seven months prior to the Stones' effort in 1967. With psychedelia in full-swing, 1967 proved an eventful year for the Rolling Stones – most infamously following the arrests of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on drug charges following a police raid during a party at the latter's Redlands home in Sussex. Among those also in attendance, though not detained, was Richards' friend and photographer Michael Cooper.
Throughout the Sixties, Cooper, a fixture on the London art and music scenes, captured many iconic images of artists, including the Beatles, Eric Clapton and Marianne Faithfull. However, arguably his most candid images came from his time with the Stones. (pictured, left: original collage art for Their Satanic Majesties Request)
Cooper worked with artist Peter Blake on creating the famous cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, so it seemed only fitting – especially given his existing friendships – that he be tapped to help with the Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request. The album was designed and photographed by Cooper, while the back cover illustration was created by Tony Meeviwiffen. The trippy cover photo was credited as "built by the rolling stones, michael cooper, and artchie at pictorial productions, mount vernon, n.y."
The lenticular 3D cover image – originally planned to cover the entire album sleeve – proved too costly to produce despite being released as a smaller image in the album's center. It was later replaced with a photograph, in which headshots of the Fab Four – George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr – are hidden among the art that surrounds the four Rolling Stones featured on the cover (Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman). The album, produced by the Rolling Stones and engineered by 2012 Hall of Fame Inductee Glyn Johns, peaked at Number Two on Billboard's Top LP's chart, where it remained for six weeks.

Anyone in the north orange county area? I'm in North Tustin. Would love to meet up with other people.
I live in Denmark, Europe, but my husband is considering a job in Santa Monica. Being a lupie I wonder how it works with doctor / hospital visits, prescriptions, costs etc. in California. The company offers 4 different kinds of health assurances that includes the spouse. Is there anything particular we should be sure is mentioned in the policy or anything else it would be good for us to be aware of before we take the final decision whether to move or not?
I'm in my late 30'ies and luckily I haven't been hospitalized the last couple of years if that has anything to say.
I really hope that there a one or more persons who can help me with this since it's such a big decision for us.
hi! I am from OC so anyone how want to talk I am here if you live close.
This is a kind of quiet topic but I figured I'd try anyway...
I'm in OC (Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area) and looking for other people with Lupus around here, maybe to start up a support group if I can't find one otherwise because it seems like there are no resources around for people with Lupus in the area. Anyone still out there in the area/paying attention to this topic?
I think people still read these posts, just no one from Orange County! Sorry. I do hope that you hear from someone soon! In the meantime, keep coming here to WHL and we will always do whatever we can to help you as much as we can.
I wish you the best.
Peace and Blessings
Look For The Good and Praise It!

Vintage Parisian Romance Dessert Table & Printables (35 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Ah, the French…what would we do without them? Precut sticks of deep fried potatoes would not seem so exotic. Passionate kisses involving tongues would not seem so romantic. And what about that whole French bread pizza craze? And for giggles let us thrown in one Luc Besson (think The Professional and 5th Element). Gone. All. Of. It. I know, I too am struggling to breathe right now as well. Alright so all of that might have been a bit of a stretch. But the one truly important thing that would vanish would be the inspiration for our take on Valentine's this year. Our last one if you believe the Doomsayers! Oh emm gee, we better get started…
This year we wanted to skip the whole juvenile red and pink heart jazz and go with a more muted color scheme and "grown-up" theme. Not that there is anything wrong with getting those colorful miniature cards and conversation hearts from your friends at school. Here at Hello My Sweet, I wanted to go a different direction. Think more east. No, no not Asia. Too far east. Back it up a bit. STOP…France!
As I said before we had this look in mind about our V-Day table & printables this year. Heather had wanted to do something feminine that included elements of old air mail envelopes, mailboxes, and love letters. So I went about my research. It was then that I had my epiphany, and by epiphany I probably mean my son shot me in the head with a NERF dart. Let's set our table in Paris, France during wartime. We'll let everyone in on a day in the life of a young woman's vanity, where she has various trinkets and recent letters from her husband, boyfriend, or lover who has gone off to war. I know on paper that might sound a bit heavy handed, but I can only imagine what it must have been like for so many women during the years of 1939 to 1945 to say "Good-bye" to their men then worry for years at a time. When the guns stopped firing and the treaties were signed, their men came back, though unfortunately not all of them; to the waiting arms of the one they love. To me nothing epitomizes romance and enduring love quite like that.
With our color scheme in tow, we ventured off to do some prop shopping. The first place we usually go is our local Jo-Ann Fabric store. After much distraction and looking around, we decided to go with a taupe colored muslin for our "vanity" top covering. We also picked up a length of fringe and some lace in a pale pink. The fringe, while being tad bit on the expensive side, was gorgeous and I had plans to spruce up a well used cake stand with it. Since our Jo-Ann store is located in a mall, we also decided to walk on down to the Belk department store as well. At times in the past we have found some incredible deals in their home goods department. This time was no exception. Sitting beneath a display of glass cake platters and stands, was an unassuming & dented upside down box. Turning it over revealed it to be this little gem. This had to be one of the largest apothecary jars I have ever seen. Looking at the price tag of $40.00, I would've thought that was a fair price for it, but it was about that time I noticed a sign saying that all Home Accents products were 50% off. Score! A 17 inch apothecary jar for $20.00? To be fair, this was after Christmas and we know that a lot of stores have end of year clearance sales. We didn't find anything else we wanted, so I went ahead and got in line to purchase my awesome find. I handed the box over to the lady behind the counter, she then scanned it and told me the total; a whopping $10.49! Wow. I walked away from the counter clutching the box like a man who had just stolen something.
I have mentioned her before in other articles, but I think it bears mentioning again since she is such a treasure trove of awesome vintage stuffs. Cindy Robertson, Heather's mother, graciously let us borrow some truly unique family heirlooms that we thought would look great on our throwback Valentine's Day table. A Sabin 9" Crest-O-Gold china plate with real 22k gold trimming, a woman's oval mirrored vanity tray with gold filigree, a pewter jewelry box with some very intricate carvings, a picture frame from the 1940's, a gilded plant/birdhouse stand, and several books with copyright dates ranging from 1917 to the 1930's. All of it, super old and super cool.
Another person we would like to give a shout out to (we're so hip, we're using super cool youngster lingo!) is Carmen Taylor. Hailing from Tampa, Florida she "is the creative mastermind behind PomFlair which offers hand crafted party ware." We contacted Carmen through our Etsy store and pitched an offer to have some of her gorgeous wares, in particular her tissue tassel garland, on a future table for some cross store promotional goodness. She was a great sport about it and agreed. Unlike some other Etsy store owners, who were understandably less than enthusiastic about "loaning" out product. We totally understand, in this day and age, people just usually don't give you much reason to trust them. In the end though we think we reached out and made contact with a kindred spirit, and it will surely benefit our readers and customers, both PomFlair's and Hello My Sweets'.
When you think of French pastries what comes to mind for you? Croissants? Madelines? The ever popular Macaron? Us too. In fact, that is just what we included, minus the macarons. Oh sweet crispy chewy Macarons, why are you so hard to make? Because your oven is terri-bad Heather, at least that is what I keep telling myself. It couldn't be my skill level or anything like that, no sir. Must be faulty equipment. OK sorry about that, major tangent. Anyway, we included traditional Parisian fare like the croissant and madeline, which we were able to find at our local grocery. We also wanted to have lots of little cakes and cookies as well. Just like you would find in the Pâtisserie. So we stuck to the color pink and we baked a Strawberry Cake, Rose Cupcakes and Raspberry Kiss Meringues. We also included Turkish Delight. What you say? Not a French pastry? You are right of course, but they were the right color, bite sized and rose infused, and so we thought, what the heck.
Read on below for the details on where we found our store bought items and the recipes for the ones we baked ourselves.
Rose Turkish Delight
We found this beautiful box of Turkish Delight at our local Kroger grocery. It was so pretty. It was so appealing. It was so not what we expected. Have you ever tasted a Turkish Delight? We hadn't. It fit so well with what we wanted on our table though we grabbed it and put it out there, and then we tasted it. It was like biting into a stick of rose scented chap-stick, covered in powdered sugar. It wasn't bad, it was... unusual. I wouldn't go so far as to call it appetizing however.
Private Selection Mini Butter Croissants from Kroger grocery. These were in a 6-pack and came frozen. They must thaw and rose overnight before baking the next day. We found these croissants delicious! Flaky, buttery, soft, everything they should be.
Also from Kroger grocery. These were pre-baked and available in the bakery section of our store. They were also very tasty. Madelines are traditionally a soft cake-like cookie, and we are for sure a fan of these.
Raspberry Kisses
Light as air meringue cookies that melt in your mouth! A super easy recipe that requires minimal preparation. The recipe uses jell-o as it's main source of flavor, so if you prefer another flavor or color simply buy that kind of jell-o instead of the Raspberry. We wanted a berry flavor and the pink coloration as well.
6 Tsp. Meringue Powder
6 Tbsp. Water
1/8t. salt
3 1/2 Tsp. raspberry Jell-O
3/4 c. sugar
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Beat together (in a mixer on high) the meringue powder and water until combined, then add the salt and continue to beat until foaming.
Add the Raspberry Jell-O and sugar gradually, and continue beating until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
Pipe batter into small swirls or kiss shapes on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper.
Bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes, the turn the oven off and allow them to sit for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before taking them off of the parchment paper.
These cookies should be stored in an air-tight container and will remain fresh for several days.
Strawberry Cake
Ingredients for Cake:
2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Tsp. Baking Powder
¾ Tsp. Salt
1 ½ Sticks Un-Salted Butter, room temp.
1 ½ Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Fresh Strawberries
Ingredients for Buttercream:
1 Cup Fresh Strawberries Blended
2 Sticks Un-Salted Butter
3 - 5 Cups Confectioner's Sugar
1 Tsp. Vanilla
Directions for the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your cake pans in your preferred method.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and stir, then set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy.
Add the sugar and continue beating until it is well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the mixer bowl as necessary.
Add half of the dry ingredient mixture and continue beating on low speed until blended.
Add the buttermilk and continue mixing on low until smooth.
Add the remaining dry ingredient mixture and continue beating on low speed until blended.
Add in the fresh strawberries and mix on low speed until blended.
Divide the batter evenly between your cake pans. We used three 6" pans to create a small, but tall cake.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean and your cakes are slightly golden on top and spring back to the touch. Approx. 20-30 mins depending on the size of your cake pans.
Allow the cakes to cool the transfer them to a wire rack until you are ready to stack your layers.
Directions for the Buttercream:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy.
Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Add the vanilla.
Mix in the strawberry puree a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired texture.
Add more confectioners sugar as needed to thicken your buttercream to your liking.
To assemble your cake, spread an even coating of the butter cream onto the top of your first cake layer.
Continue with your next layer, and so on until you have all layer stacked with buttercream between each.
Apply a thin coat of buttercream to the entire outside of your cake.
Do not worry about crumbs at this point as this is your crumb coat. Allow this to set up until it has hardened slightly.
Then apply another thicker layer of buttercream onto your entire cake. If you prefer you can pipe it on making a pattern or even use a cake comb to create an interesting design into the buttercream.
Store your cake under a cake dome or wrapped until you are ready to serve.
Rose Cupcakes
These cupcakes employ rose water to keep them smelling fresh as... a rose! Rose water can be hard to find at times, but most specialty grocers will carry it. Look for it with the French cuisine along with the international foods.
Cupcake Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 - 3 Tbsp. Rose Water (your preference)
1 - 2 Drops Red Food Coloring
Buttercream Ingredients:
1 Cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, room temp.
6 Cups Confectioners' Sugar
1/2 Cup milk
2 - 3 Tbsp. Rose Water (your preference)
Directions for Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.
In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.
Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 2/3 full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat process with remaining batter. Once cupcakes have cooled, pipe frosting into small swirls around the outer edge of the cupcake then work your way inwards until you reach the center. Garnish with sugar pearls.
Directions for Buttercream:
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
With mixer on low speed, add 6 cups sugar, milk, and rose water. Mix until smooth.
Hard as we may try it is entirely possible that we have left out a detail or two here and there, so if you spot something please do not hesitate to speak up in our comments section and we will try to right that wrong! I was recently informed that our Hot Chocolate Stick recipe while insanely delicious, had omitted the small detail of oiling the spatula that you use to spread the marshmallow. The brave reader at home had attempted to create these hand-crafted marshmallows and said she ended up with it everywhere! Stuck to everything! After checking I did discover that while we mentioned oiling the spatulas, we had forgotten to mention the importance of covering your hands with non-stick spray to ensure that you do not end up marshmallow-ed. So we apologize for that!

Comments about GeoSafari Laptop:
My daughter who is 5 likes it a lot. We bought an older version Geo Safari game at a second hand store, which was not a laptop and had big cards, and she loved that one. But there were only a few cards, because it was not new. So i then started to research and found this laptop. The number of lessons is huge, and the fact that i have the expansion pack is great. There is so much to learn, and it is interesting for the little ones. I even bought another one for a friend as a gift. it is very easy to use and not easy to break (my younger one dropped the laptop a couple of times and it works perfectly). So i would definately recommend this toy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ZF-5077: Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion
The issue is originaly reported by Ilya Gruzinov (see [ZF-4992]).
This is reproducible with 1.7.0. version, but only on php <5.2(i test on 5.1.6)
php LocaleTest.php
PHPUnit 3.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann.
Time: 4 seconds
There were 2 errors: {panel} 1) testObjectCreation(Zend_LocaleTest) Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:885 /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:189
2) testIsLocale(Zend_LocaleTest) Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:885 /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:732
FAILURES! Tests: 28, Assertions: 171, Errors: 2. {panel}
I think next lines can explain where mistake: [http://php.net/manual/en/…] :
It is worth noting that before PHP 5.2.0 the __toString method was only called when it was directly combined with echo() or print(). Since PHP 5.2.0, it is called in any string context (e.g. in printf() with %s modifier) but not in other types contexts (e.g. with %d modifier). Since PHP 5.2.0, converting objects without __toString method to string would cause E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR.
I think this issue is already fixed in trunk/branch... Line 885 is a require_once call which does no string conversion.
And any given Zend_Locale instance will be forced to string at line 846/847 by calling toString on the instance.
Can you please test it against trunk. I can not reproduce it on Windows with 5.1.4
Trunk now:
Time: 4 seconds
There was 1 failure:
1) testIsLocale(Zend_LocaleTest) Failed asserting that is true.
FAILURES! Tests: 29, Assertions: 189, Failures: 1.
Ilva: This failure is ZF-4992
Please to not throw together different issues. This is useless and make only more work as it should.
And it just raises the time we need for fixing.
So you are no longer getting the failure of this issue in your environment on trunk ? Is that correct ?
Then this issue can be closed and we can work on ZF-4992
Yes, it is correct. This issue can be closed.
Updating these issues to mark them resolved for 1.7.1.
