Just got an email from Best Buy with a link to its Black Friday doorbuster specials.
Sandra Pedicini just filed this report:
Shoppers across the region and state were hitting the stores Friday to return unwanted Christmas presents and to take advantage of post-holiday discounts of up to 75 percent. At the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Apopka, the parking lot was only partially full. "It wasn't as crowded as I thought [it would be],'' said June Johnson, 40, of Orlando, who came to the store to get some bread. She decided, however, to go back in to shop for Christmas decorations at half off. Also at the Wal-Mart, Jennifer Juman of Ocoee said, "It's really calm this year …. Usually you can't find parking; you have to do circles and circles.'' Across the nation, many retailers opened before 6 a.m., offering deals like 50 percent to 75 percent off on toys, furniture, electronics and clothing. Their goal is to salvage what they could from what has been a dismal holiday shopping season. According to preliminary data from SpendingPulse — a division of MasterCard Advisors that tracks total sales paid for by credit card, checks and cash — retail sales fell between 5.5 percent and 8 percent during the holiday season compared with last year. Excluding auto and gas sales, they fell 2 percent to 4 percent, according to SpendingPulse. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
I was doing some last-minute shopping yesterday, and I wandered into the Children's Place. There were a few things on sale — T-shirts and the like — but most of the items were full price. I admit, I was stunned by this. I asked the clerk why they weren't having big sales. "Oh, we did that two weeks ago," she said.
Did I mention I was the only customer in the store?
Now, in years past, I would have gone ahead and bought what I wanted, even at full price. But this year, with every other merchant screaming about 60, 70 or 80 percent off, it just seemed silly for me to shop there. So I went elsewhere — and got some great deals!

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Belgian firm Complix won a €1.9 million grant (about $2.5 million) from the Flanders government's IWT (Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders) to support development of its cell-penetrating Alphabodies™ (CPABs) against intracellular disease targets, including cancer targets. Alphabodies are small, single-chain alpha-helical proteins that are designed in silico, based on naturally occurring polypeptide structures. The firm claims its CPABs can be generated against a range of otherwise undruggable targets, and demonstrate the best features of both small molecule drugs and biologics, including high specificity and potency against large protein targets, combined with efficient cell penetration and stability.
"Although intracellular protein-protein interactions are known to be involved in a variety of important disease processes, such as cancer, autoimmunity, CNS and metabolic diseases, most of them have been found intractable by small chemicals or antibodies," remarks Mark Vaeck, Ph.D., Complix CEO. "We believe that Complix is well-positioned to become a leading player in this next generation of so called 'cross-over' therapeutics."
Structurally, Alphabodies comprise three associated alpha-helices connected by flexible linker loops to form a single chain protein. Complix claims this 3-D structure provides the Alphabody with some of its most desired features, including its extreme stability and unusual flexibility with respect to target binding. The firm's current focus is on the development of Alphabody-based therapies for autoimmunity and infectious diseases.
Just last month Complix inked a collaboration agreement with Monsanto to evaluate and develop Alphabodies for applications in agriculture, including trait development.

In an action-packed game that included two ties and two lead changes,
The victory improved
Chelsie Mesa, who went 2-for-4 in her eight multi-hit game of the year, staked
The Tigers fought back, taking their first lead of the game in the third inning with a three-run homer. MU center fielder Leanne Bowers walked and Andee Allen reached on a Wildcat fielding error, placing runners at second and third with one out. MU first baseman Amanda Renth connected on her first of two home runs of the night to give her Tigers a 3-1 lead.
The Wildcats scratched out a run in their half of the third to climb within one run of MU. Caitlin Lowe led off the inning by reaching on a Tiger throwing error and then stole the first of her four stolen bases on the night. After
After holding MU scoreless in the top of the fourth, K'Lee Arredondo's first career home run ?- a solo shot ?- tied the game 3-3.
In the top of the fifth, the game took a dramatic turn. MU's Renth was at the plate with a 2-1 count when Taryne Mowatt's pitch appeared to knob of her bat and bounced back to Mowatt who threw to first for an apparent out. However, the home plate umpire Mike Bartling ruled the ball foul, which led to an argument from the UA coaching staff and the eventual ejection of assistant Larry Ray. Incidentally, Renth clubbed the next pitch over the center field fence for a solo home run, giving MU a 4-3 advantage.
However, Lowe and the Cats would respond in the bottom half of the frame with a run of their own. Lowe led off with an infield single, stole her second base of the night and scored on a
With the game still tied in the seventh, Lowe led off yet again with the same result. The three-time All-American reached via an infield single, stole second, made a delay steal of third and had the game-winning run just 60 feet away from scoring with no outs. After
UA pitcher Taryne Mowatt (7-3) earned the win, yielding three earned runs on five hits, seven walks and 10 strikeouts in seven innings of work. MU's Jen Bruck (5-1) drew the loss, as she gave up four earned runs on eight hits and four walks.
Game Notes:
- Laine Roth's second-inning double was her first extra-base hit of the year.
- Chelsie Mesa extended her career-long hitting streak to 12 games.
- Caitlin Lowe's three-run game was her second of the year. She currently has 201 career runs scored, good for 10th place on UA's all-time list.
- Caitlin Lowe's four stolen bases give her 124 in her career and places her fourth on UA's all-time list. She is five away from Vivian Holm's 129 career swiped bags for third place in program history.

Third Ward's Oak Lounge caters to Milwaukee's EDM crowd
"I (expletive) love places like this," DJ Cedric Gervais exclaimed during his Feb. 8 set at Oak Lounge, 231 E. Buffalo St.
He didn't need to say that. Actually, he may not have been expected to say that. Just 12 days prior, Gervais picked up a Grammy, and here he was in a 250-capacity club in Milwaukee on a freezing night.
But there was an incredible energy in Oak that night, plus glow sticks, fog machines, striking chandeliers, bottles of champagne served with sparklers and a middle-aged dude in an undershirt, pressed against the front of the stage, dancing up a sweat.
Oak aspires to offer a chic, big-city nightclub experience in the Third Ward, and the dressed-up pretty people and occasional lines out the door may be intimidating. You can expect a line there Friday for the club's two-year anniversary bash featuring Australian DJ duo the Stafford Brothers, especially since there's no cover before 10:30 p.m. (You must RSVP at clubtix.com.)
But the good-time atmosphere at the Gervais show prevailed above all, snuffing out any potential snootiness, and Oak's setting and intimacy make it a must for EDM lovers.
"We knew if we could bring DJs to an intimate venue like this, we could be something special that hasn't been done before in this market," said Sean Pliss, a DJ, bar and club manager and co-owner of Oak, along with fellow hospitality veteran Jared Siemers and Chris Vrakas. Vrakas has played a crucial role in elevating Oak's profile: As head of Wisconsin operations for EDM concert promoter React Presents, Vrakas brings concerts to about 10 venues in the state, but none has the cozy, club-like atmosphere of Oak.
Oak's intimacy and roster of DJs, from regional players such as DJ Rock City to internationally known, Grammy-nominated producer BT, helped Oak turn a profit in its first year.
Oak is also trying to cater to other customers outside of EDM, with plans to increase its wedding and private-party business, and a relaxed lounge atmosphere for an older clientele when DJs aren't playing. The owners are also getting more involved in the community. Oak hosted a fundraiser last month for the MilwaukeeHome Stage, a showcase of Milwaukee artists in Austin, Texas, during the South by Southwest. Music and Media Conference.
"The way to have longevity is to offer great customer service," Pliss said.

One of the commercials that Chrysler had aired during the last Superbowl was not dedicated to any specific model, it was a sort of statement about Detroit's new found fighting spirit recited by Hollywood's legend Clint Eastwood. The striking speech - which was shown during the half time break - appeals to the patriotic heart of the US to not give up, even though it's a tough time for the home economy, and can be considered the second chapter of the famous Eminem ad that was broadcast during the same event last year. Definitely well made.

Epoxy DFT ranges are commonly 16-50 mils, whereas the Poly-Cote products are 20-500 mils DFT for non-potable water applications and 20-250 mils DFT for potable water applications.
"The Poly-Cote line of products is engineered for production applications where fast cure times and excellent application characteristics are crucial," said Kevin Morris, water and wastewater market director, Sherwin-Williams Protective and Marine Coatings. "Required coating thickness can be achieved in one coat-even on seams, welds and rivets-allowing the asset to quickly return to service."
Poly-Cote 110 Fast Set is a polyurethane coating formulated for exterior diameter pipe applications, and has an industry-leading dry-to-handle time of 5-10 minutes. It can be applied via plural-component proportioning equipment with direct impingement mixing. Poly-Cote 110 Rapid Set is designed for interior diameter pipe applications, and provides a dry-to-handle time of 20-25 minutes. Its smooth finish is engineered for pipes to achieve better water transfer.
Poly-Cote 115 is a flexible polyurethane coating developed for small fittings, elbows, valves and other tight work spaces, and provides a 24-hour recoat window. Convenient for the field, Poly-Cote 115FR comes in an easy-to-use kit for coating welds and damage repairs. It can be applied by hand to both exterior coating and interior lining systems.

Long-term care (LTC) facilities, financial institutions, and anyone involved with keeping tabs on home care providers could play a role in preventing, detecting and reporting elder financial abuse.
The witnesses did not talk about long-term care insurance (LTCI), and they mentioned annuities and life insurance only in passing.
But several did talk about LTC providers.
Hubert "Skip" Humphrey, III, an assistant director in the Office of Older Americans at the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), testified that "bad actors" could include family caregivers or paid caregivers as well as financial advisors, fiduciaries, home repair contractors or scam artists.
"Development of strategies to deal with the myriad of 'bad actors' is essential," Humphrey said, according to a written version of his remarks posted on the committee website.
One step the Office for Older Americans is taking is to develop guides for "lay fiduciaries," to help family members and others handle older people's money in a prudent fashion and spot possible signs of financial exploitation, Humphrey said.
The office also is producing a guide aimed at LTC facility operators.
The office is hoping the facility operators will identify possible cases of financial exploitation and do something about them, Humphrey said.

Freshman catcher Jake Rogers posted two hits in Wednesday night's game against ULL
March 13, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - Looking to snap a three-game losing streak, the Tulane baseball program will hit the road by visiting Conference USA rival East Carolina for a three-game series at Clark-LeClair Stadium in Greenville, N.C. on Friday Saturday and Sunday.
First pitch for the series opener will be at 5:30pm CT, while Saturday's game will begin at 1pm CT. The series finale will begin at noon on Sunday. All three contests will be broadcast on the home of Tulane baseball for 2014, 88.3 FM WRBH. Live stats can be followed on GameTracker at TulaneGreenWave.com.
Tulane has had a busy week, and once the weekend is up, they will have played on both coasts in just a matter of seven days. Last weekend, the Green Wave used a seven-run fifth inning to propel themselves past Cal in the opening game of the Cal Baseball Classic. However, they were then shutout by both Arkansas and San Francisco out on the West Coast for the first consecutive shutouts for the Green Wave since 2002.
On Wednesday evening, Tulane played a solid game against the No. 6 team in the country in Louisiana-Lafayette, but fell to the Ragin' Cajuns, 7-4, at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. The Tulane bats collected ten hits, and scored four runs in the third inning after trailing at the beginning of the game, but errors led to Tulane's demise on the evening.
Overall this season, Tulane is 9-6. The Green Wave played their initial C-USA series against Louisiana Tech during the second weekend of the season, having taken two out of the three games of that series.
As a squad, the Green Wave are hitting .255, and have collected ten or more hits in six of their 15 contests to date. Tulane is led at the dish by sophomore outfielder Richard Carthon, who has hit to the tune of a .373 average so far this season. Senior outfielder Andrew Garner is hitting .327, while junior Garrett Deschamp - who played first base for the first time in his career on Wednesday night - is hitting .308. Freshman third baseman Hunter Hope is batting .306, while senior Bowen Woodson - who started in centerfield on Wednesday - is hitting .292.
Deschamp has 20 RBI in just 15 games, meaning he is just 15 shy of last year's season-high by a Tulane individual. Hope is second on the squad with 14 RBI. Hope and Garner are tied for the team lead in home runs with two.
Tulane has collected 31 doubles on the season, led by Hope's six. Deschamp and Garner each have five, while Woodson has collected four so far this year.
East Carolina, initially ranked in many of the preseason top-30 polls, has struggled this year to the tune of an 8-9 record. On Wednesday night, the Pirates dropped a 5-4 contest to in-state rival Wake Forest that was interrupted by an hour-and-a-half rain delay. They dropped a Tuesday night contest to UNC Greensboro, 6-5.
Last weekend, the Pirates opened C-USA play by dropping two of three to Marshall.
The Pirates are hitting .236 as a team, and only one of their everyday players in Zach Houchins (.348) is hitting over .300. Travis Watkins is hitting .360, but he has only seen time in nine games, making eight starts. Ian Townsend leads the team with 10 RBI, while Houchins is the pacesetter in runs with 11. Houchins also holds four of the team's 16 stolen bases.
On Friday night, Tulane will send redshirt senior righty Tyler Mapes to the mound. Mapes made his third start of the season last weekend against Cal, and he couldn't quite get his footing down on the wet mound out in Berkeley, Calif. Mapes plunked four batters in just 3.2 innings of work, while the defense gave up some runs behind him. However, Mapes posted a career-performance against Nicholls State on Feb. 25, striking out seven in 7.0 innings while allowing just one hit. On the season, the Plano, Texas, native is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 11 strikeouts and just one walk.
Mapes will be up against ECU ace Jeff Hoffman. Predicted by many to be a first-round pick in the MLB Draft later this year prior to the start of the season, the righty junior has power numbers, but struggled last weekend against Marshall. Hoffman walked seven batters while striking out six in just 3.1 innings of work in a 9-8 loss to the Thundering Herd. Hoffman is 0-2 on the year with a 3.28 ERA, 32 strikeouts and 13 walks in 24.2 innings of work.
Saturday will see redshirt junior Randy LeBlanc return to the bump for the Green Wave. The Abita Springs, La., righty is looking to bounce back after an uncharacteristic performance against No. 24 Arkansas last Saturday in Berkeley, Calif. LeBlanc struck out just one in 4.1 innings while allowing three runs in a 4-0 shutout of the Green Wave. In 2014, LeBlanc has started four contests - the only Tulane pitcher to make starts in every weekend series so far this year - while posting a 2.82 ERA in 22.1 innings of work. He has 21 strikeouts to just five walks while allowing 22 hits.
Tulane will face a southpaw on Saturday, as ECU's Reid Love will get the ball during the second game of the series. Love has struggled with command this year, as he has walked 10 in just 15.1 innings over three starts. However, Love has posted 12 strikeouts, and owns an ERA of just 1.17. He combined with Ryan Williams to shutout the Thundering Herd in ECU's lone win last weekend, as he pitched 5.1 innings, allowing just three hits and fanning five.
Sunday's matchup will feature Tulane freshman phenom J.P. France's return to a starting spot. After bursting onto the scene by becoming the first Tulane freshman pitcher to start on opening day in 23 years, France had troubles in contests against Louisiana Tech and Sacred Heart. The Luling, La., native entered last Saturday's contest in relief of LeBlanc, and he pitched very well out of the bullpen by posting three strikeouts in 2.2 innings. On the year, France is 1-1 with a 4.58 ERA with 17 strikeouts, three walks and 19 hits in 17.2 innings of work.
Righty Brett Mabry will get the start for ECU on Sunday. Mabry pitched 5.0 innings of relief against Marshall last Sunday, striking out two and allowing two hits and two runs (one earned) in a no decision. He picked up a win in relief against Pittsburgh during the first day of March. Mabry has yet to start a contest this year, and is 1-0 with a 1.12 ERA, eight strikeouts and two walks in 16.0 innings.
East Carolina is equipped with one of the top closers in the nation in Drew Reynolds, who owns three saves in six appearances this season. Reynolds, who also hits .270 as an everyday designated hitter, is a preseason All-American, and also earned Second-Team All-American honors last year.
Tulane owns the all-time series record, 26-16, with all 42 contests having come during Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones' tenure. The two teams split four meetings last season, with ECU defeating the Green Wave two out of three during the regular season before Tulane picked up a win against the Pirates during the Conference USA Championship in Houston.
Historically, Tulane is 298-172-2 overall in C-USA contests, meaning the Green Wave could pick up their 300th win in league play with two victories over the Pirates over the weekend.

Roberto T. a regular reader of our parent-site Autoblog.it has sent these spy shots of the new Porsche 911 Turbo 991-series. According to the latest rumours, the six-cylinder 3.8-litre boxer engine with direct injection system found under the hood of the car, could have a tri-turbo induction system. The task of the third turbocharger, a smaller unit mounted closer to the engine, would be to further boost low-end response, while increasing power and improving efficiency. To deliver at the medium and higher end of the rev there are the two remaining turbochargers, similar to the Borg-Warner units with variable turbine geometry currently in use. The power output is expected to increase to 530/550 hp combined with lower fuel consumptions and emissions than the current model. The Porsche 911 Turbo 991-series is scheduled to launch in early 2013.

The Audi A3 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volkswagen Eos with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Volkswagen Eos will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A3.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A3 as you will with the Volkswagen Eos, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Audi A3 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Eos. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Audi A3 will cost more in transportation costs than the Volkswagen Eos.
When looking at overall length, the Audi A3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Eos.
With its lower torque, the Audi A3 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Eos.
The Audi A3 has less horsepower than the Volkswagen Eos, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi A3 and the Volkswagen Eos.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Audi A3 than that of the Volkswagen Eos.
Compare the 2016 Audi A3 and the 2015 Volkswagen Eos.

Dementia is a devastating condition which slowly undermines intellectual functioning and interferes with normal life functions. New research shows that caring for horses may ease the symptoms of dementia reported The Ohio State University on May 5, 2014. This is the first study of its kind to show that spending time with horses eases symptoms of Alzheimer's dementia.
There was collaboration between The Ohio State University, an equine therapy center and an adult daycare center for this study. The researchers found that that people with Alzheimer's were able to safely groom, feed and walk horses when they were under supervision. This experience improved their mood and made them not as likely to resist care or become upset later in the day. This study suggests that equinetherapy, which is a treatment used today for children and teens who have emotional and developmental disorders, could also work for adults. This offers a unique way to ease the symptoms of dementia without using drugs.
The researchers wanted to see if people with dementia could have positive interactions with horses. They discovered such interactions were certainly possible. The mood of the dementia sufferers was immediately lifted when they interacted with horses and there were fewer incidents of negative behavior. The equinetherapy helps patients feel better and enjoy themselves quickly.
This research has been published in the journal Anthrozoös, which is a multidisciplinary journal dealing with the interactions of people and animals. The goal of this exploratory study was to ascertain the feasibility and effectiveness of using guided interactions with horses as a nonpharmaceutical intervention aimed at improving the physiological and behavioral states of people with dementia.
Older people with Alzheimer's disease and associated dementias engaged positively in animal-assisted therapy with horses. There were less behavioral problems found post intervention in contrast to the comparison group. Clearly, equine-assisted interventions are possible and may be beneficial for adults with Alzheimer's disease or an associated dementia disorder.

Vimeo Unveils Redesign of Video Sharing Service
Vimeo just announced a new design of its video-sharing service. The main feature of the redesign is a new video player that Vimeo says is twice as large as the previous set-up, making it easier to display video content.
Vimeo says the redesign also gives users the ability to play videos from their personal homepage, improves the overall navigation, and adds more privacy options on your account.
Many of the new features are outlined in the video below. Also, after the jump is a press release about Vimeo's revamp.
Vimeo Evolves the Video Experience by Making It Easy to Share, Discover And Be Inspired
NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2012 –Vimeo, an operating business of IAC [NASDAQ: IACI], today announced the first step in its rollout of the new Vimeo, a full redesign of its website. This redesign will provide registered users with a better Vimeo experience through a 2x larger full-width player, the ability to play videos from their personal homepage, improved navigation, more account privacy options, and a host of new sharing and discovery features http://vimeo.com/35514005.
"Vimeo's growth [approx. 65M Monthly uniques in Dec. 2011] and dedication to maximizing user experience was the catalyst for this redesign," said Dae Mellencamp, Vimeo CEO. "The result protects the essence of Vimeo while allowing for future growth of audience and features in a simple, intuitive environment."
Vimeo rebuilt the site from the ground up using current programming languages and open web standards to deliver optimized site performance and easier, faster browsing. The cleaner codebase allows for more rapid development so the team can release site updates and new features in less time.
"We completely rethought the user experience to evolve Vimeo into something that meets our users' needs today and tomorrow," said Sockyung Hong, Vimeo Vice President of Design and User Experience. "Our goal was to strike a balance between friendly and elegant while still preserving our fun personality."
The new Vimeo design delivers better access to contextually relevant videos through a host of smart browsing capabilities, including a pull-down video discovery bar on the video page that enables users to explore their feed, recently viewed videos, watch later queue, and related videos. 'Related Videos' is Vimeo's new recommendation engine that suggests videos based on similar videos that other people have "liked."
The Vimeo redesign offers advanced search filters that allow users to better narrow results by relevancy, length, credits, copyright license, and more. The redesign also includes a new section that enables users to browse videos that are subject to Creative Commons licenses.
The site added a host of features based directly on user feedback. New privacy options include the ability to keep video stats and 'your activity' feed private as well as blocking other users. People can now upload multiple video files at once and will receive an alert if problems are detected with their video files before the upload is complete. For a complete list of new features, please visit www.vimeo.com/new.
Today, Vimeo will allow sign-ups for a closed test of the new design. The site will provide access to a set number of users during this closed testing period. However, Vimeo plans to make open sign-ups available for it's members in several weeks. For more information, please visit http://vimeo.com/blog:473

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited float in the upcoming Festival of Fantasy Parade, which starts in March at the Magic Kingdom, is the steampunk Maleficent dragon float. Although the media didn't get to see the actual float at the February 10 float and costume sneak preview, they were treated to two of the costumes that will be worn by some of Maleficent's minions.
Click the slideshow accompanying this article to see the impressive thorny stilt walker and the raven with a wingspan of 12 feet. They have a darkly elegant color scheme and costumes that fit right in with the steampunk influence of the 53 foot dragon float.
Like the other magnificent wear in the parade, their costumes were designed by Mirena Rada. They'll be out working the crowd in a fashion reminiscent of the old Tapestry of Nations parade that graced World Showcase at Epcot from 1999 to 2001, although they're certainly more intimidating than the benevolent characters from that classic parade.
Of course, this is Walt Disney World, so good will triumph over evil. You'll see Prince Phillip battling the dragon as it makes its way along the parade route. It has an articulating chassis that allows it to bend and flex, and the fiery eyes and glowing effects will likely make the float a huge crowd favorite. It was designed in partnership with Tony Award winner Michael Curry.

Bison & Beef: a meatloaf marriage made in heaven
We've all had meatloaf more times than we can count and, depending on the culinary skills of the cook, many of us automatically assume a dried up morsel of flavorless—or too salty—mystery meat, which is hardly what you want to eat, much less offer to guests.
So, imagine my delighted surprise when friends recently served me what is simply the best meatloaf I've ever eaten. The guests all looked at one another with incredulity...and the wish that we had more room in our stomachs.
"The secret is equal parts bison and beef," said our hosts Michele and Afrid, "and you can buy bison at Costco." The bison is low in fat while the beef loosens the bison texture and imparts a "rounder" flavor. The result is more moisture, less fat, and a curiously hearty yet refined mouthful.
The recipe is simple and pretty much foolproof:
2 lbs minced meat (half bison, half beef)
1 minced onion
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Brewer's yeast
2 cloves minced garlic
2 eggs
1 generous handful capers
pinches of salt, pepper
Butter a rectangular oven-proof dish, spoon in the mixture, and bake for 1 ½ hours at 350 F.
As the child of frugal German immigrants, I ate a lot of meatloaf as a child, only we called it
falscher Hase, literally, fake rabbit. After WWII, when meat rations were still in effect, German housewives would mix up whatever meaty scraps they had, add lots of spices, form an oblong, stuff a few (cheaper than meat) hard-boiled eggs inside, and wrap the whole thing in bacon. Once baked and perhaps decorated with caper or pickle eyes, it resembled the noble and coveted rabbit.

If you were to closely examine the annals of modern pop music history, few creative forces have been more seminal or impacted the contemporary pop/urban genres as much as Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds. In a relatively short time, he has reached icon status as a poignant tunesmith, prolific hit maker/producer, superstar recording artist, and revolutionary label owner. He is a statistical juggernaut, who keeps adding milestone after milestone to a legacy that seems to have no threshold or peak in sight.
A 10-time GRAMMY winner with 11 solo albums of his own, Edmonds' impeccably crafted explorations of love, romance and relationships have made an indelible imprint on the evolution of contemporary pop music throughout the world: over 125 Top-10 R&B and Pop hits, 42 #1's R&B hits, and 51 Top-10 Pop hits (including 16 #1's), which have produced single and album sales in excess of over 500 million units worldwide.
Just a few of the vocalists from which his music can be heard: Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Eric Clapton, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, TLC, Celine Dion, John Mellencamp, Brandy, Aretha Franklin, Fall Out Boy, P!nk, Charlie Wilson, Chrisette Michele, Beyoncé, Anthony Hamilton, Barbra Streisand, Keri Hilson, Ledisi and Ariana Grande. He has a forthcoming duets album with Toni Braxton entitled, Love, Marriage & Divorce with an expected release date of February 4th, 2014, on Motown Records. [from Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds biography]

The world wide web can be a fun and fabulous place! This week I discovered The Happy Family Movement. I Instantly fell in love with their message they are spreading across the globe, "Raising a happy, loving family is one of the most important things we will do in this lifetime. Because we know that happy kids raised in joy-filled environments will change the world. That's why we believe in … jumping on the bed; pancakes for dinner; laughing 'til you cry; loving unconditionally. We believe in creating memorable experiences for our family and sharing that love with the world. We believe happiness is not something you find. It's something you make.So go ahead… Cut loose. Live out loud. Love a lot!"
This summer has flown by up until the past two weeks. While cutting loose with my summer camp kiddos at a bounce house I went down for the count and fractured my right foot.
Seriously, Right?!?!?
My hubby needs to put me in a giant bubble to keep me from harms way, LOL!! Anyhooo, under doctors orders I have had to keep off my foot to keep from causing my fracture to spread even further. OOO yeah that's been loads of fun. BLECK!! My poor kiddos have been going stir crazy with mama down for the count. Today I declared freedom from my couch and propping of my foot and took the kids out for some summer fun on the driveway!!
I found a recipe for Sidewalk Paint over at one of my favorite places "Pinterest" and we tackled the driveway with our cutie pie neighbors.
Of course the 100 degree Texas heat attempted to put a damper on our fun, but give kids a hose, a few buckets, and some squirt guns and wala a new adventure to be had by all!!
Here's to making a summer bucket list of your own. It's not to late!! Head over and sign up for some summer fun!!

Possible Home Planet of Yoda
I know some of you are tired of people like me who have ideas about Yoda's species and home planet, but I have a theory that could possibly be canon.
Yoda's home world may be Brodo Asogi A.K.A. the Green Planet.
Brodo Asogi is the home world of the Children of the Green Planet (E.T.). The planet was first mentioned in the book Cloak of Deception. The Children A.K.A. E.T. were featured in TPM during one of the senate scenes.
In the movie E.T. while going out trick or treating as a ghost, the little alien had spotted a child wearing a Yoda mask. At first glance E.T. started to chase the child while saying "Home, home". The quote may be proof that Yoda was from E.T.'s home planet.
Since E.T.s species is canon in SW this could be a possibility. Yoda's species could have been from the same planet as the Children of the Green Planet due to my information given above.
The quote "Home, home" could also be referred to their home galaxy, in which case would completely debunk my theory.
Also the two species (Yoda's and E.T.'s) looks very much alike in the face. Because of this they could be closely related or one group of one species evolved into the other. This also could be why Yoda's species is very rare in the galaxy. All but a small few could have evolved into E.T.s.
This of corse is just my speculation! So what do you think?

iPad users will have to purchase some OS updates aired with the release of the iPhone OS 3.2 software development kit, according to documentation accompanying the new SDK.
As noted by "DailyTech" (http://www.dailytech.com/IPad+Users+Get+One+Free+Major+OS+Upgrade+and+Th...), the documentation has this to say:
Apple will provide you any iPad OS software updates that it may release from time to time, up to and including the next major iPad OS software release following the version of iPad OS software that originally shipped from Apple on your iPad, for free. For example, if your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPad models."
In other words, with the iPad, Apple will be giving users one free, major OS upgrade. After that users will be on their own and will be forced to pay to upgrade the OS. Upgrades will likely be priced similar to those on the iPod touch, at about US$10, says "Daily Tech."

Congressman James E. Clyburn (D-SC) will visit the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. this Thursday, August 28, 2014, for a book signing at the Museum Shop. Admission is free and his book, "Blessed Experiences: Genuinely Southern, Proudly Black", will be available for sale. The Charlotte Chapter of the South Carolina State National Alumni Association will benefit from book sales. The Robyn Springer Trio will serenade guests while hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar will be provided. A social networking event hosted by Herb and Felicia Gray continues the evening festivities until 11:00 p.m.
Congressman James E. Clyburn (D-SC) has enjoyed a long and distinguished political career in service to the United States and his home state of South Carolina. Speaking of Clyburn, President Barack Obama says he is, "one of a handful of people who, when they speak, the entire Congress listens." Since 1993, he has represented South Carolina's sixth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Highlights of his distinguished career include a stint as House Majority Whip from 2007 to 2011, while currently he serves as assistant Democratic leader of the House.
Along the way, however, Clyburn endured encounters that steeled his resolve to fight for the civil rights of all Americans. He captured 20 years of experiences, from life with Jim Crow to life on Capital Hill, a massive document of 186,000 words, cut by 36,000 words at the publishers' request. Clyburn's memories are presented in his latest book, "Blessed Experiences: Genuinely Southern, Proudly Black", published in 2014 by the University of South Carolina Press.
Congressman Clyburn recently spoke about the inspiration for his book title and some of the experiences that didn't make the book.
"Way back in early 1971 what kick started the idea was a committee meeting of the state legislature. One of the House members said something that I thought had crossed the line. After the meeting I said to him that his words were uncalled for and unbecoming. The man responded, 'Well, Clyburn, you have to understand, I am a Southerner.' I decided later that day I will write a book with a title indicating that I, too, am a Southerner. I don't believe being a Southerner is the exclusive prerogative of white people or people whose experience is different than that of my parents."
Once when he experienced writer's block, inspiration came from Clyburn's father, a fundamentalist minister. Pastor Clyburn used to prepare for his sermons by taking his last meal on Friday evening, and fasting until after Sunday service. Saturdays he would write and sing "Blessed Assurance."
Clyburn recalled,
"Sure enough it opened my mind up. I went back to my computer and decided to change the title to 'Blessed Experiences.' To further develop the theme, I added a colon and 'Genuinely Southern, Proudly Black.'"
Speaking to experiences that were horrible in his life, Clyburn told of 2 incidents that did not make the book, ending with one humorous event that did get published. Due to the controversy surrounding Trayvon Martin's shooting, and his concern that he be perceived as playing on that event, he declined to print the story about a young friend who died in similar circumstances. Another friend was shot dead, caught in a watermelon patch. The fact that his high school marching band was invited to appear in his hometown Christmas Parade, only to be placed last in line behind the equestrian unit, was infamous at the time, but funny upon reflection.
"Imagine trying to play that clarinet while sidestepping those horse [droppings] and breathing those aromas."
Rated 5 stars by by Amazon.com, and in its fourth printing, "Blessed Assurance" is keeping the Congressman busy with a tour including later this month a C-SPAN interview with John Lewis and stops at book festivals, the Library of Congress and locations in Decatur, Georgia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. The upcoming September Congressional Black Caucus event will be another book signing stop. The tour continues through next March, 2015.

In 1899 the German pharmaceutical firm Bayer AG introduced aspirin, a medicine developed by Bayer chemists Felix Hoffmann and Arthur Eichengrün. It rapidly became the world's most widely used over-the-counter medication and the first modern, mass-marketed pill. Today aspirin is the most common synthetic drug in the world. Around 35,000 tons of aspirin are synthesized annually, totaling 100 billion standard tablets. Each costs approximately a penny and a half to produce.
Chemically, aspirin is closely related to salicylic acid, a natural substance that is found in willow bark and other plants and that was used as a painkiller in such ancient cultures as Egypt and Mesopotamia. Like salicylic acid, aspirin exhibits anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and fever-reducing effects; however, aspirin is less irritating to the stomach.

My 5 year old son tantrums at school, my work.
I thought it would be a good idea to enroll him at the same campus I work at. I'm a new teacher. I teach 5th grade. He is in pre-k. He is stressed running out of his class into mine. He does't want to go to school every morning. He wants "his old life back" (watching tv and sleeping late) that is his own words. He get paranoid and constantly asks "who is going to pick him up" and seems to fear the teacher sending him to another class. I know that it takes a great teacher to help children love school and a bad one to hate it. I think his is okay, lacks nurturing and enthusiasm. He doesn't respond to her when she test him on shapes and abcs. He seems to know them when I drill him. He seats on his chair a few feet away from the circle of children in his class. The teacher said because his legs are too long and can't seat pretzel style long periods. That is a lame excuse to me. I feel he is missing out because I see that in my class with kids. I am so frustrated and his behavior is not helping. He throws himself on the floor and scratches his face, eats with his mouth open and he didn't do this before. At school he ignores me and misbehaves when I walk with him on the halls when I got to pickup stuff from my box. I thought he would love school. He was excited about attending. What can I do? How can I help him. I am planning to ask very diplomatically for his teacher to please "make" him sit in the circle. I don't want him missing out on stuff. Help plz!In Topics: Back to school, Discipline and behavior challenges

Great solution - buy both :rolleyes:
By the way - your ammo situation is just the oppisite of mine - we have 9 mm everywhere and almost no 40.
Hmmm maybe I could ship you some and you could do the same in return? Haha, usually I can find 9mm around, two weeks ago it was in every store around, but like usual, its gone almost overnight.....I bought 600 rounds but of course its all gone now....next time I see it Im getting 1000 rounds, gonna use 1/2 of it and try to sit on the other 1/2...
And also, Im still leaning torwards the 27....I havent owned a glock yet, but have wanted one for a long time, and its gonne be my ccw, which I want to be as reliable as possible....so thats why Im going Glock, plus plenty of other reasons....my biggest problem is trying to decide between that, the 26, and the 19....I have shot and like them all, and while my other guns are 9mm I think Im gonna get the 27...hopefully its everything I think it will be...will have one in a week or two...
for CCW 27
So I went and got the 26...they had a 27 right next to it for the same price but I ended up sticking with 9mm....I dont really feel bad because I love this new gun so much its silly....Ill just get a 27 in a month or two, but for now will be happy with the 26....I got it on Thursday, got a day off from work, went over my buddys and cleaned it (while selling him my Sig sp2009), then went shooting a couple hours later.....heres a pic of my first target, from 10 yards....
I dont want to sound crazy but I have owned a few guns and this is my first Glock and I am finding out what the Glock thing is really all about.....this gun is incredible, its better than I could have even hoped it would be and I am just so happy I finally got myself a Glock....I want my gun to shoot straight and shoot all the time, and this gun has done more than that....Ive already put 500+ rounds through it since Thursday and I have not had a single problem.....I bought this gun knowing that my buddies are Sig fans, and even they cant help being impressed by it....the Hype is real, these things rock!
By the way before yoy flame me on my target, keep in mind Ive never shot a sub compact befre that target in my life, and have only been shooting for about 2-3 months.....mostly on a Sig sp2009, but Ive logged about 3000 rounds since I started.....so Im sure alot of you can shoot better but for me that is one of the tightest groups Ive ever shot and it was on a brand new gun......lets just say I fell in love right away.....
Congratulations on your new Glock.
I own a 26 and feel the same as you do about it. :mrgreen:
Oh, and the target looks fine to me. :smt023
The G26 is a fine gun. Everything about it is great. Accuracy, weight, size. etc.
My main CCW is sold now. Bills to pay and all. When I get caught up I will get the G19. Until then I will carry what I have.
Funny how things work out. Some areas have 9mm ammo easy to find, others 40sw etc.
I have brought most of my pistols to 9mm. Sold off all but one 45 and 22lr. 45acp is over 21.00 for 50 rounds here. 9mm and 22lr are the least expensive.
Any way. Glocks seem to be very good guns.
Good luck on your buy.
Glock is running a really good deal on the 27 right now. It comes with three magazines.
I like the 27 with an in the pocket holster. I've carried since 81 , the convienence of carrying in the pocket is nice to just grab the gun, shove in your pocket and go ,no fiddling around with a shoulder holster or ankle etc. plus the wife never notices . . It may be a slow draw but not in all situations. I;ve been in a situation where I can go very unnoticed and have both or one hand in my pocket(s) with my hand already on the hand gun. fastest draw possible. try keeping a hand on your side arm with a shoulder or pancake without raising suspicion
MonsterB...dont worry about your target, it looks fine to me. I wouldn't want to be a bad guy if you're shooting a group like that at 10 yds!
Glock 26
GREAT weapon especially with a 33 shot clip (yes, not a conceal and carry weapon at that point but a hoot to look at)
glock 23
Depending on where you are living and shopping, it shouldn't be too hard to locate a current 3rd gen 19. When I had my local shop order me a 19 with the RTF2 finish in late January, they were able to get it into their shop in less than 48 hours and they got 2 others at the same time that they ordered mine through their distributor network.
ordered and picked up my glock 33 last month and then transferred my buddies 29 to me so at the moment the 10mm is my carry piece
G33 (357sig.) is the only way to go. You get the same power as the .40 pushing a 9mm size lead instead of a 10mm size lead. That means; hotter, faster (1350fps), flatter, more energy, more velocity, what's your life worth. What if you had to shoot through something like a wood door or a car door to protect your family? If some is good, more is better!!!!!
Keep on Glockin'
I know I'm the FNG, and I joined really because of Kahr issues (shocker)... but needless to say, I AM a Glock guy, though and through. I own both .40 and .45 cal (23, 27 and 36) and ultimately, bought a Kahr CW40 for ccw. Here's my glockage:
G23 - GREAT home defense weapon, shoots AMAZING (have a 23c so snappiness is kinda mitigated- honestly, .40 recoil doesn't bother me anyway, I practice)... Regardless of how great the 23c's PROs are, the con is that it's plain difficult to conceal, at least for most.
SO, for CCW purposes I bought a G27. LOVE IT. same reliablilty (same AMAZING auto-trigger, which is IMHO the best thing any glock's got going for it, and of course AK-like reliablilty). YES, the G27's shorter grip is great for CCW- BUT, it's still as thick as a brick!! Also, shooting mags without pinky extensions is plain silly with mini-glock, especially .40 with that snap. Again, .40 recoil doesn't bother me, but with 2 fingers on only, let's just say it took some practice to shoot as accurately with the G27 as the G23. In fairness, I'm probably 85% there.. NOT 100... Bottom Line: GREAT weapon, but (at least for me) too thick to CCW effectively.
G36: I know you already said you're against the .45... but this to me makes no sense. IN FACT, I would sooner choose the .45 over ALL - especially if you're asking about .380!!! (Don't ever bother carrying one of those!!).. .45 is aheavier bullet, and with slower muzzle velocities has LESS snap (significantly) than the .40.. in fact, it's kinda puppy-dog like, like a 9mm. Someone already pointed out valid fact about .357 sig, but ammo's a pain in the ass to get, and I'd sooner go .45 model 36 slimline. POINT 2 re: 36 - you mentioned CCW, and slimline IS thinner.. (still thick compared to kahr tho).
Latest Pistol: Kahr Cw40. AMAZING for CCW - TINY. CW is not the micro (PM model is) what's crazy is that the CW actually has a LONGER barrel, yet SHORTER overall length than G27.... AND, you're comparing smallest glock to SECOND SMALLEST kahr.. so this goes to show. I know you aksed about Glock, but the kahr deserves a mention, because im my opinion, it's kind of the best of ALL worlds *(except trigger!): kahrs CW is kinda like taking the best of a G27 AND a G23c AND the "slim-line" ness of a 36.. all in one - AND NARROWER THAN ALL THE GLOCKS. period.
ALSO, if you have any doubts about the severity of difference in thickness, go to a store and field strip BOTH pistols - hold one in each hand and look (top view) at the frame in each hand- look HOW MUCH tinier the kahr is - without the slides on, you can REALLY see the difference.... So regarding CCW, I really do encourage you to look at the slimline .45, model 36. GREAT GREAT pistol too. And the Glock trigger SPANKS the kahr, it aint even a fair fight there.
In terms of simplicity, reliability AND a ferrocious trigger, you just CAN NOT BEAT A GLOCK. They are MADE to shoot fast, and follow up. in retrospect, I probably would have opted for .357 sig, if only ammo was easier to procure. I made my choice with .40 as my primary, and I'm happy I did- you can find .40 everywhere - you can find 9mm for a damn.. I guess it comes down to geography.
9mm Ballistics Chart | Ballistics 101 .....Now I ask you, are you gonna run with the Big Dogs....or, keep your ass on the porch????
I'm not going to vote because I wouldn't use or carry anything on your list. For your first Glock I strongly suggest you consider either a G-19 or a G-17. Otherwise I think you'll both, 'overgun' yourself as well as have a hard time shooting straight. (And, then, there's the expense!)
PS: 'Expert'? I don't know. On the internet everyone, including first year owners, is an expert! I do, however, know Glocks better than most; and I've been doing this for a really long time, too - OK.
This thread is almost three years old and the OP hasn't been back since.

Closing time becomes LeBron's time
LeBron James has been taking these shots for years. Now he's making them.
All it took was a pair of superstars at his side to remove some of the focus and almost all of the pressure.
While he is three wins from his first NBA title, he already has reached another level when it comes to closing time.
"Just seizing the moment," he said Wednesday, "understanding this is a great opportunity for not only myself, but for our team to seize the moment and try to take full advantage of it.
"Am I going to make every shot or close every game out from now on? I hope so. I don't know. But I do put myself in the position, I do have the confidence that if I have the ball in my hands or if I get the ball in my hands that I can make a play, not only for myself but for my teammates to help us win that game."
James said the confidence is an outgrowth in the confidence he has received from Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
"We're a really good team down the stretch now," he said. "It has a lot to do with our team as far as trust. It has a lot to do with myself and D‑Wade and just the position Coach has put us in late in games, to have us have an ability to come down the stretch and make shots for our team."
James said he no longer feels as if he is forcing the action.
"I guess it's a confidence of closing games out, but it's also the trust you have for your teammates," he said.
"When they look at you and see you need to close a game out, no matter if you fail, they look for you again to do it again."
