Bold orange flavor and a sweet glaze on top make these light muffins extra special. "They are a great addition to any meal," notes Anne Prince of Courtland, Virginia.
- 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons grated orange peel
- 2 tablespoons water
- 5 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Secrets of Success
Essential Knowledge 101
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
For us to lose weight and maintain our health it is super important to know what we are dealing with, it is not just yummy objects we put in our mouth so check this article that i had found while searching , i hope it helps:) Enjoy :
Carbohydrates :
Two Types of Carbohydrates
There are two major types of carbohydrates in foods: simple and complex.
Simple carbohydrates: These are also called simple sugars. Simple sugars are found in refined sugars, like the white sugar you'd find in a sugar bowl. If you have a lollipop, you're eating simple carbohydrates. But you'll also find simple sugars in more nutritious foods, such as fruit and milk. It's better to get your simple sugars from food like fruit and milk. Why? Because they contain vitamins, fiber, and important nutrients like calcium. A lollipop does not.
Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others. Refined grains, such as white flour and white rice, have been processed, which removes nutrients and fiber. But unrefined grains still contain these vitamins and minerals. Unrefined grains also are rich in fiber, which helps your digestive system work well. Fiber helps you feel full, so you are less likely to overeat these foods. That explains why a bowl of oatmeal fills you up better than sugary candy that has the same amount of calories as the oatmeal.
So which type of carbs should you eat? Both can be part of a healthy diet.
How the Body Uses Carbohydrates
When you eat carbohydrates, the body breaks them down into simple sugars. These sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.
When this process goes fast - as with simple sugars - you're more likely to feel hungry again soon. When it occurs more slowly, as with a whole-grain food, you'll be satisfied longer. These types of complex carbohydrates give you energy over a longer period of time.
The carbohydrates in some foods (mostly those that contain a lot of simple sugars) cause the blood sugar level to rise more quickly than others. Scientists have been studying whether eating foods that cause big jumps in blood sugar may be related to health problems like diabetes and heart disease. You're probably already on the right track if you are limiting simple sugars (such as candy) and eating more complex carbohydrates (like vegetables, oatmeal, and whole-grain wheat bread).
Proteins :
You probably know you need to eat protein, but what is it? Many foods contain protein ,but the best sources are beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes like black beans and lentils. Protein builds up, maintains, and replaces the tissues in your body. (Not the tissues you blow your nose in! We mean the stuff your body's made up of.) Your muscles, your organs, and your immune system are made up mostly of protein.
Your body uses the protein you eat to make lots of specialized protein molecules that have specific jobs. For instance, your body uses protein to make hemoglobin (say: hee-muh-glow-bin), the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen to every part of your body. Other proteins are used to build cardiac muscle. What's that? Your heart! In fact, whether you're running or just hanging out, protein is doing important work like moving your legs, moving your lungs, and protecting you from disease.
All About Amino Acids
When you eat foods that contain protein, the digestive juices in your stomach and intestine go to work. They break down the protein in food into basic units, called amino acids (say uh-mee-no a-sids). The amino acids then can be reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain muscles, bones, blood, and body organs.
Proteins are sometimes described as long necklaces with differently shaped beads. Each bead is a small amino acid. These amino acids can join together to make thousands of different proteins. Scientists have found many different amino acids in protein, but 22 of them are very important to human health.
Of those 22 amino acids, your body can make 13 of them without you ever thinking about it. Your body can't make the other nine amino acids, but you can get them by eating protein-rich foods. They are called essential amino acids because it's essential that you get them from the foods you eat.
Fats :
Types of Fat
You might see ads for foods that say they're "low-fat" or "fat-free." Lower-fat diets have been recommended for health and to help people lose weight. But nutrition experts are finding that fats are more complicated and that some kinds of fat are actually good for your health. As a bonus, fat in food helps people feel satisfied, so they don't eat as much.
But that doesn't mean a high-fat diet will be good for you. And some fats are better than others. Here are the three major types:
Unsaturated fats: These are found in plant foods and fish. These may be good for heart health. The best of the unsaturated fats are found in olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, albacore tuna, and salmon.
Saturated fats: These fats are found in meat and other animal products, such as butter, cheese, and all milk except skim. Saturated fats are also in palm and coconut oils, which are often used in commercial baked goods (the kind you buy at the store). Eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
Trans fats: These fats are found in margarine, especially the sticks. Trans fats are also found in certain foods that you buy at the store or in a restaurant, such as snack foods, baked goods, and fried foods. When you see "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils on an ingredient list, the food contains trans fats. Trans fats are also listed on the food label. Like saturated fats, trans fats can raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.

I'm using a Windows XP desktop to test the I/O for a 4GB USB flash drive. I would like to use Performance Monitor to capture the statistics of the test, but neither the Physical Disk or the Logical Disk objects show the USB flash drive as a viable instance. I attempted to track the *Total and 0 C: instances, but *Total only tracked the C: drive and ignored the USB drive.
Does anybody know what Performance Object I need to use to get Logical Disk type data from a USB flash drive?
UPDATE: I have some very specific data files that I am using for the tests that represent the real-world usage these drives will see. This is why I am trying to use perfmon to track the performance instead of a benchmark utility.

I had a reader email me today asking where she could find an emmanuel ungaro wedding dress. After doing some research it looks like Emmanuel Ungaro has partnered with Pronovias in the past to desing gowns under their line. I included some pictures of a Emmanuel Ungaro wedding dress I found on ebay and also some pictures of gowns from his current couture line. So, Rachel, here is your inspiration for an emmanuel ungaro wedding dress.

The question is quite simple: How to read a .pgm image file into a 2D double array in C. I do not have a .pgm buffer in memory. I would like to read it from the disk into memory.
Would really appreciate if I could get a code snippet. Thank You.
You probably won't get someone writing you all the code, but here are some useful links that might point you in the right direction:
If its saved as ASCII you could just read it with the "normal" file reading methods of C. You can of course use the netpbm library (linux only?), which gives you functions to handle a pgm file.

Long before there were wine fests, music festivals and bike races in mountain towns, there was FIBark, which stands for "First in Boating on the Arkansas." The country's oldest whitewater festival started in 1949 in the quaint little town of Salida in the middle of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It's one of the most unique mountain town events and definitely one of the most exciting.
With the mighty Arkansas River running right through town, paddlers navigate their crafts through fast-flowing currents and rapids of the spring runoff of the Continental Divide, just as they did that first June 65 years ago.
Today, every conceivable kind of race and obstacle course that can be run on whitewater takes place—including the newest rage standup paddleboarding (SUP)—but the classic Downriver Race is still the most prestigious, longest and most challenging whitewater race in all of North America. Kayaks and open canoes negotiate through "whitewater hell" from Salida's Whitewater Park to Cotopaxi 26 miles down river.
The Hooligan Race is perhaps the most fun to watch as river rats dressed in costumes ride anything that's not a boat, trying to stay afloat in the Whitewater Park to the delight of the crowds on the river banks. The Freestyle Kayak Rodeo gives paddlers of all ages the chance to show their tricks and maneuvers while competing in the river holes and standing waves at the Salida Boat Ramp. The finals on Saturday evening are a big spectator draw.
Throughout the years, more and more events have been added to the now four-day festival. Besides water races and activities, there are foot races, mountain bike races, an opening day parade, a massive carnival with food booths, and what some fans think is the best part—daily outdoor concerts at Riverside Park's amphitheater. Families bring picnics and spread out on the lawn for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening shows. Sunday, the music starts at noon and runs until 5 p.m. For a complete schedule, visit www.fibark.com.
While in the historic town of Salida, check out why it has been named one of "America's 100 Best Small Art Towns." You'll find a variety of art galleries and a growing community of artists who have chosen Salida to showcase their nationally recognized work. The historic downtown district is totally walkable, with plenty of very good restaurants from pizza joints to fine dining. Check out Laughing Ladies and Amicas Pizza.
For lodging, the Palace Hotel is a lovely boutique hotel restored to its Victorian splendor right in old town Salida. Rooms include a continental breakfast. Be able to carry your luggage up a flight or two of stairs as there is no elevator. Other lodging options are chain hotels, motels and cabins along Highway 50.
This year's FIBark will be June 12-15, 2014—Father's Day weekend. For complete information, visit www.fibark.com.

First he wins the presidency of the U.S., then he wins Time's Man of the Year. Now a poll shows that Barack Obama holds a sizable lead among Americans as the most admired man in the world. Coming second was George W. Bush and third was John McCain, proving once again the horrible imagination Americans have when finding inspiration outside politics.
It's dizzying, really, if you think about it: In this clip, media celebrity Barbara Walters names political celebrity Sarah Palin as one of her "Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008," which people are mostly compelled to watch because Walters' name is attached to it. Celebrities are fascinating!
Not entirely sure how to unpack what exactly is going on in this startling exchange between Fox News' Shep Smith and third-party avenger Ralph Nader, but here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
The July 2nd rescue of French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and U.S. mercenaries employed by the Northrop Grumman Corp. was heralded as a dramatic victory over the anti-imperial FARC guerrilla forces in Colombia. The real story may be significantly less daring. The mainstream media's heroic rescue narrative is being contradicted by claims that a $20-million ransom payment was made.
White separatist, U.S. senator, GOP darling and otherwise racist stalwart Jesse Helms died Friday after a bout with both metaphorical and actual heart problems. For his supporters and detractors, Helms' persona as a race-baiting Southern politician defined many debates around civil rights in the 1960s.
Veteran journalist and "Meet the Press" moderator Tim Russert died Friday of an apparent heart attack while recording voice-overs for Sunday's show, according to NBC. Russert, 58, was also the network's Washington bureau chief and had grilled politicians and public figures on "Meet the Press" since 1991.
You just can't catch a break as a politician these days. Right when you think you look all "hip" and "endearingly self-deprecating" by allowing yourself to be skewered by certain late-night comedians (bonus points if you're actually on the show while this gentle, aide-approved ribbing is happening), those same wise asses up and turn on you.
By Mike Luckovich
You know you've hit it big when you're the topic of an academic study on the media. As it turns out, there's a demonstrable effect known as "the Colbert bump," which entails a boost in campaign cash for politicians who make a stop at "The Colbert Report" while on the campaign trail. Translation: Stephen Colbert can count on a full dance card for, say, the next few decades.
A CNBC host asked Bush whether he used the most popular search engine on Earth. His response betrayed an unfamiliarity with the Internet not seen in a politician since Sen. Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens spoke out on the subject.
No matter how silly Stephen Colbert makes politicians look on his show, an appearance on "The Colbert Report" is the best (and maybe the only) way to make young voters pay attention and respond to their representatives in Congress, according to The Washington Times.
From Bernie.org
In this March 2006 Truthdig Interview Bernie Sanders discusses his quest to become the junior senator from Vermont. Sanders, the U.S. House's sole Independent and only socialist, defeated his opponent Richard Tarrant in a landslide victory and is now Senator-elect.
Officials' media spin shouldn't be confused with anything genuine.

A lot of the information on this career field is sensitive and should not be discussed here.
I was and am disheartened by the apparent lack of information that filters down about the communications career field. But let me make this clear. SAF/CIO and sub-orgs periodically publish information on the Air Force portal regarding the communications career field. The information is out there. If you have any business in Comm you will know how to find information. You will have Infoseek/Google-fu. The last people that should be complaining about the lack of information regarding their career field is network warfare operators/cyber defense prospects.
I think we should be more concerned with what technical skills we already possess. So here are some questions I have for you.
Let the Google be strong with you~

PUEBLO, Colo.—JE Double F continued his tour with a stop at Phil's Radiator, on May 24. He was the direct support. Div_der, Despicable Dialects and Mooncrusher were the opening acts. Creep Status was the headliner. DJ Dick Muscles was the disc jockey accompanying JE Double F.
As JE Double F paced back and forth on stage, he greeted the crowd and encouraged everyone to move around. He mentioned he was looking forward to seeing Creep Status perform and to mosh with the audience, before he began his recital with "Graveyard State" and stated he was from N.J. As he continued to pace around stage, he provided the vocals. Later, he paused near the center of the stage and knelt on one knee and continued to rap.
DJ Dick Muscles let the first instrumental continue on. While he did so, he replaced the left vinyl with a new one and rested the old one on the ground. JE Double F reminded the audience he was from N.J., before he continued his concert with "Be Yourself By Yourself". After the song came to an end—he took out his smartphone, spoke of the usage of text messaging, how it was the most common use of communication, let out a sigh and continued his performance with "Third Mall From The Sun".
Before the start of "Nightscare", DJ Dick Muscles' hair made it difficult for him to see what he was mixing. He removed his headphones from around his neck, slid them on from the front to the middle, placed the earphones on top of his ears and continued. His vision was cleared; he was able to find the microphone again and assisted JE Double F with backup vocals. Shortly after, JE Double F removed his shirt and continued on with the recital.
Prior to "Copy of a Copy", JE Double F introduced DJ Dick Muscles by referring him to by his initials. Afterwards, he mentioned they had completed 25 days of their tour and had seven left to go. He gave a shout out to Creep Status again and acknowledged the band's drummer, Anthony Soto, from the stage. During the chorus, DJ Dick Muscles accompanied him on the backup vocals. JE Double F ended the song by singing the chorus of Danzig's "Mother". Then, he ended his concert with "Brood".
"American Scream" and "Mannequin" were also part of JE Double F's set.

Distant seas
Excerpts from the first mate's log and photographs shot in ports visited by a long-haul Turkish commercial shipping vessel.
Bearing the full weight of the day's weariness on its shoulders, the sun descended the stairs slowly and left the stage, leaving us to stark, silent horizons, a skinny crescent moon, a handful of stars and a radar scope. And I'm not counting the loneliness that fills the heart in the night. It's always there. When you gaze at the horizon through a pair of binoculars, especially in the middle of the Pacific, you don't even notice whether it's in focus or not...
Except for the sounds on the bridge, the wind and the waves are all that's audible. And the tick of the gyro compass inside. And the battery of indicators. And then the radar, seeking echoes in the darkness. We are two. After two or three months, even captain and first mate have little left to say to each other.
But the sharing increases. We divvy up the mangoes I bought from the workers on the Panama Canal. But the communications instruments interrupt my dream of starting a mango farm on Turkey's southern coast. There's a message signal on the satellite receiver, a newscast from Turkey. Our ears prick up at reports of the new foreign players being hired by our home teams. The three German players cost more than the ship we're on! We sail the seven seas year round on a ship the size of two football fields, yet they have to be yelled and cheered on to break through the opposing team's defense. As the day advances, we sense that the sun is eager to join in the conversation too. It pokes its arm through the clouds and tries to trace shadows.
The storm is in its fourth day and starting to peter out. But, one after the other, the West Pacific swells continue to pound the bow and shake the enormous ship. Apparently the Master doesn't want to spend another sleepless night, because he was up on the bridge before sunup and went straight to the weather fax where the meteorological analyses are received. Even though our ship is a 190-meter, 60,000-ton bulk carrier of cast iron, the seas aren't much impressed by that and take great pleasure in tossing it about, in utter disregard for its enormous size. As the fax slowly prints out the surface analysis, a new storm warns us of its approach. But the Master's face wears a smile. "Okay", he says, "if we chart our way 40 degrees to the north, this new low pressure system will remain on our the south, and we'll have an end to our sleepless nights."
Dolphins heralded the good weather with a sudden joyful leaping and cavorting amidst the waves. Scores of them surrounded our ship, those at the bow literally outdoing each other in front of the 'bulb'. The deck hands put down their work, and the jumping and swooping increased to the whoops and whistles of the crew. They're really very much like humans, these dolphins are, as responsive to the cheers as the most seasoned soccer players. Towards evening the sea became very calm. And so the 47,000 tons of corn loaded on in New Orleans would reach Japan in 28 days' time, to be followed by coal bound from China to India.
China's ports are not only extremely attractive, but procedures there are further streamlined with each passing day. Fifty thousand tons of coal were loaded in two and a half days flat, and nobody even got a chance to do any proper shopping. And then we wound our way between the crush of fishing boats and other maritime traffic along the foggy Chinese coast.
Watches spent with one eye on the radar, one looking through the binoculars and one on the map. The traffic was even more congested in the Malacca Strait, where we were constantly on the lookout for pirates. While it might strike a landlubber as fanciful, the incidence of piracy is unfortunately mounting with each passing day, and the attacks steadily escalating in their savagery. Nor is anybody doing anything to counter this growing threat to world navigation. Today, as always, seamen are forced to look after their own. For the duration of the contract, which is usually for six months, working hours on the ship are anywhere from eight to ten six days a week. Although the need for repairs is almost non-existent on this spanking new ship in the expanding Turkish commercial fleet, maintenance and inspections are frequent. And the 19-man all-Turkish crew - including four captains and three engineers - take pleasure in their work on the new vessels. Contrary to popular belief, outside of the long ocean crossings, they have little time to miss their home and country.
The unloading in northwestern India was done in five days. Plus, we'd arrived smack in the middle of the mango season and so could replenish our supplies. On the last day women workers came to clean out the remains of the cargo still left in the holds and what had spilled onto the deck, gracing the ship with their colorful saris, delicate sandals and vibrant culture. Crowds of students from all the high schools in the city also showed up for a tour of the Turkish ship. And then the 49,000 tons of petrol coke bound for Thailand were loaded on. Following the loading, it took us two whole days just to clean up the deck, a job we were finally able to put behind us in the Saturday evening sun. We had more than earned our Sunday morning R&R. The next day I would do my laundry and, while I ironed, listen to the Jamil Sherrif I'd bought on my last night on Bourbon Street. The sea however had some creative surprises in store.
We were awakened Sunday morning to the blare of alarms and cries of 'Man overboard', as a loud commotion resounded through the corridors of the ship. The enormous 60,000- ton vessel listed first to starboard then to port side. As reports and commands poured over the wireless on deck, the Master announced that he had seen a man in the water and was going to rescue him. Before long, with some skillful maneuvering by the Master, a former submarine commander, we reached the victim. A large ship had collided with some fishing vessels off the coast of western India in the night. As soon as the Indian Coast Guard was informed, the aid of a nearby Indian warship was enlisted and the drowning man was hauled on board. As day ended, exhaustion gave way to the satisfaction of having been able to help a sailor in distress.
The unloading off shore in Thailand was completed in five days. But 180 dock workers had to work their tails off for two days straight to clean up all the petrol coke. For the next cargo was wheat bound from Australia to Tanzania. The cleanup continued during the seven-day voyage as well so as to present a pristine ship to the Australian inspectors, who are known as sticklers for cleanliness.
Bidding winter farewell in South Australia, we started the 20-day voyage from Tasmania to Tanzania. There are two seasons in Tanzania, rainy and non-rainy. Naturally we arrived in the rainy season. And the unloading was unduly protracted by the tropical downpours. But we made good friends. What's more, it was election time in Tanzania. Every conversation started with Galatasaray, which nobody seemed not to have heard of. They asked us how many tribes we had in our country. Over a hundred different ones were competing in the polls here. Had I said, "We've got parties, not tribes", I doubt it would have made much sense to them. "We're curious about your country," they said in the end. "You've got four seasons but no tribes."
On the 25th and last day I threw myself down in the shade of a 'Baobab' tree. There's no better place for a good think than under the spreading branches of a baobab. But I just kept pondering what I should do. Obviously the time had come to head home. It was blue fish season on the Bosphorus. The new cargo was bound from South Africa to New Orleans. And thus the world tour would be complete.
The men working on six-month contract would return home, and all the storms and weariness would be forgotten in the two-month break. And the ship, with a new crew, would continue to sail round the world, as ships have been doing for hundreds of years.

Help. I'm suffering from writer's bloc and would appreciate some advice.
Filed Under The way I see it
I've decided I need some advice. I seem to have writer's block and can't bring myself to write anything for my blog. I didn't have this problem while I was still a classroom teacher. There was always something interesting going on to share. But now that I've retired and don't have my classroom experiences to inspire me, my muse is gone. I enjoyed sharing strategies and insights, and my success and failures in the classroom hoping someone would find what I said useful. I liked that what I wrote was grounded in my teaching practice.
Now I am no longer practicing teaching but I am working on my MEd (life long learning). I've learned lots of interesting things I could share. I'm inspired by what I've been learning in the courses I'm taking and regret that I can't try what I've learned in my teaching practice. I've taught for almost 30 years and am quite content to move on from teaching teenagers to indulge myself in my other passions such as growing orchids, gardening, walking along the Credit River, and reading.
I guess since my life has taken a different direction since March when I retired from being a classroom teacher so it makes sense my blog might take on a different direction as well. I'm thinking I could discuss what I'm learning in my MEd courses as well as what I've been learning online from others. I could still share new insights and strategies even though I would not be able to test them myself.
I would appreciate any suggestions you can give me about getting over my writer's block or what directions my blog could take now that I'm no longer teaching.
PS. I feel better now that I've asked for help.

|Ricky Gervais
Ricky's explanation for his atheism brings to mind a question I've previously raised with individuals who claim that their atheism, like Ricky's, is rooted in scientific rational thought.
A little over a decade ago during Alan Grenspan's heyday -- a time when I would like to believe that I was not only younger but also much less wiser -- my question even managed to get me thrown out of the Ayn Rand Institute in Southern California.
Here's the short story: after asking the managing director a sincere question about about the atheism of the institute's namesake, I was quickly escorted to the exit with his parting words "I don't have time to be talking to mystics".
Ricky believes God does not exist because there is no provable, scientific evidence which verifies the existence of God. No argument here from me on this point.
My question is this: what scientific evidence does Ricky have to counter the belief that God does in fact exist? The answer is none. Ergo, the logical default is not in fact to be an atheist, but to be an agnostic.
Atheists -- by believing that God does not exist -- are making the same error in logic which believers in God make. Neither of them have scientific evidence to support their beliefs. So the only logical consistent and scientifically supported view is agnosticism.
Are the science-believing atheists simply confused? Or is it the science believing agnostics, like myself, who have it all wrong?
I'll close with an interesting atheist/agnostic factoid and another question: in the U.S. Congress it appears that every 'major' minority group in the United States is represented. There are jews, muslims, blacks, latinos, asians, homosexuals, disabled, left-handed, etc.
However, there is not a single avowed atheist or agnostic among the 535 members of Congress. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is rumored to be an atheist, but to my knowledge he has never publicly outed himself as one.
Given that atheists and agnostics represent perhaps as much as 5-10% of the U.S. population, would it be fair to say that atheists and/or agnostics are discriminated against? And in regards to election to the U.S. Congress, is there a reason why they are discriminated against more than any of the other 'major' minority groups?

LOCKNEY - At a time when school districts across the country are slashing fine arts programs because of lack of funds and an increased emphasis on the "three Rs," Lockney Independent School District is bucking the trend.
Lockney students have an opportunity to participate in a thriving art program in addition to a band program that's on the way up, thanks to an emphasis on a well-rounded education.
"The art program has a very positive effect on our students," said LISD superintendent Raymond Lusk. "I think it helps broaden the students' experience."
The art department is housed in a former science lab, which has been converted for artistic use. Students are encouraged to work in whatever medium bests suits them, which includes painting, sculpting, computer design and even weaving.
Art teacher Lisa Mosley, who has directed the art program for more than 10 years, said many students come into her class unsure of themselves, but they all eventually find a medium they can work in.
Lockney ISD
High School Mascot: Longhorns
High School Colors: Red, white and black
Number of Students: 680
Grades Offered: Pre-K through 12th
Number of Employees: 106
Web Site: lockney.isd. tenet.edu
"The nice thing about art is that there are those who feel they have no talent, but then they create something and all of a sudden they gain confidence," Mosley said.
The success of the art department is demonstrated by the success of the students who participate, Mosley said. In addition to wins in regional art contests every year, Lockney has sent a student to Washington, D.C., the past two years to show a piece of art as a national winner in the National Scholastic Art contest.
"To go to the Kennedy Center to get an award and to display at the Corcoran Gallery, that's a very big deal to these students," Mosley said. "It provides them with a great deal of pride."
The students also have gained success in less portable art projects, including murals in Lockney and at the school.
The main entrance to the school is dominated by a mural made up of thousands of tiny pieces of tile organized to show an idyllic school setting.
The school's two main stairways also are adorned with murals.
The movement toward quality art also has affected the town of Lockney, with a 40-foot-long mural downtown called the Wall of Pride that was organized by the art department. The mural depicts the history of Lockney, with each of the tiles made by a member of the community in the school's art department.
"I think appreciation of the art department has really caught on in Lockney," Mosley said. "People really support everything we do."
Although the success of the art department is easy to see with the quality of works coming out of it, the question of what art brings to a school district remains.
Lusk said art helps create better students, and therefore improves the district as a whole.
"I think it creates more well-rounded students," Lusk said. "I think it offers a very strong degree of discipline in a child's life. You don't sit down and do the types of work they're doing without working hard at it."
Art also helps get students involved in school, especially those who don't participate in other activities.
"I know there are some kids that have just excelled in arts that didn't necessarily participate in athletics or other activities," Lusk said. "It gave those kids something to come to school for. I think art helped them stay in school."
Mosley agreed, stating that she has seen some remarkable turnarounds from students who didn't excel in other areas of school.
"What I find is that many times, the students teachers have had problems with are my best students," Mosley said. "This gives them a way to express themselves that maybe they didn't have in more traditional classes."

Since the arrival of LeBron James and Chris Bosh in the summer of 2010 to form a "Big Three" with Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat have earned a reputation of thriving in adversity.
A year ago, for instance, they were seconds away from losing their NBA Finals series with San Antonio before Bosh came up with a big rebound and Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer to tie Game 6 in the closing seconds of regulation. They went on to win in overtime to tie the best-of-seven-series 3-3 and followed that up by winning Game 7 for the title.
The year before that they were down 3-2 to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals heading to Boston for Game 6 and potential elimination, but they won their next two to advance to the Finals, which they won over Oklahoma City in five games.
But they would appear to have put themselves in an impossible spot this year after losing Games 3 and 4 to the Spurs in Miami to fall behind in the series 3-1. Game 5 comes up Sunday in San Antonio (8 p.m. EDT, ABC).
Though Game 6 would be back in Miami should the Heat win Game 5, the potential Game 7 would be back in San Antonio.
How unlikely in that scenario would winning three in a row for the Heat be? Well, no team in NBA history has ever come back from such a deficit in the Finals in 31 previous tries. Only eight teams, the last the Phoenix Suns against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006, have ever done it at any level of the playoffs.
Under ordinary circumstances, the Heat would seem to be a good candidate to become the first team to do it in the Finals.
But these aren't ordinary circumstances.
In the last two losses, the Spurs haven't just won, they have dominated. The Heat seem to have no answer to the Spurs when the Spurs are whipping the ball around on offense, getting open look after open look.
They shot 57.1 percent in winning 107-86 Thursday night. Two nights earlier, they shot 59.7 percent (including a Finals record 75.8 percent in the first half) in winning 111-92.
The Heat shot (51.6 percent themselves for Game 3, but tailed off to 45.1 percent in Game 4. Take away James' 10-of-17 performance, however, and the rest of the shot only (40.7 percent).
It's not just team numbers that reveal the problem the Heat face.
Wade, who looked so energetic early in the series, looked older than his 32 years, making only three of 13 shots in the last outing. Bosh was a non-factor with just 12 points and four rebounds. And point guard Mario Chalmers continued to play his way out of the Heat's future plans with another poor game (4 points on 2-of-6 shooting).
Overall, it was just an embarrassing performance for all but James, who scored 28 points despite battling stomach problems, that after being sidelined in the fourth quarter of Game 1 because of leg cramps.
The Heat, then, are not playing anywhere near the level that they would have to be to have a shot at overcoming a 3-1 deficit, especially with two of the next three games on the road.
Considering all that, a loss for the Heat in Game 5 might be considered a mercy killing.

To make a donation, just put a box of can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail on the second Saturday in May. The event takes place on May 10 in 2014. Your mail carrier will take care of the rest. After being taken away, the food is sorted and delivered to an area food bank or pantry where it is available for families in need.
The event is headed by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO) with the assistance of rural letter carriers and other postal employees and volunteers of the project. In the past 20 years, the events have reportedly delivered more than one billion pounds of food. The postal carriers collect non-perishable food donations that people leave by their mailboxes and in post offices. They deliver them to local community food banks, pantries and shelters.
Approximately 1,500 NALC branches in all of the 50 states in the USA, The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands are involved with the worthwhile project. Additionally, Campbell Soup Company earmarked an additional one million pounds of canned food to the drive. Feeding America, Publix, Valassis/Red Plum, Valpak Direct Marketing Systems – which promotes the hunger drive on 40 million packets delivered to postal customers and AARP also support the project.
The drive also counts on the support of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association, the Feeding America food bank network, United Way, the AFL-CIO Community Services network, Uncle Bob's Self Storage, as well as many local sponsors.
According to KHON-TV, more than 50 million people are facing hunger every day in America, including some 17 million children. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, which has received two Presidential Certificates of Achievement in the past, is one way you can fight hunger. Again, your donation is used in your own city or town for those who need assistance.

I've been a lover of soy since I was a kid. My mom absolutely loved anything soy so of course she always asked me to try it. When I finally did, I fell in love. I even used to eat tofu too! Actually, all the women in my family eat soy. I remember seeing my grandmother eat tofu for her breakfast every morning and she's almost eighty years old right now! So I truly believe in the health power of soybeans.
One of my personal favorite snacks is edamame. When I was a teenager, my family used to love to go to this certain restaurant that served edamame as an appetizer and as soon as it got to the table, it was mine! I usually never shared so my parents always had to order one for themselves. Edamame is addicting to me so of course I wanted to come up with a fun recipe to get my daughter to like them too.
Mary loves asian food, especially spring rolls so I decided to try out putting edamame in spring rolls and it turned out wonderful!
Edamame Spring Rolls
2 Tbsp. garlic, minced
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced or cubed
1 cup edamame, shelled
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
4 Tbsp. oyster sauce
1/2 cup egg noodles (or other thin noodles) soaked in water for five minutes and drained.
6-8 spring roll or wonton wrappers
Soybean oil for heating in skillet
(Never fried with soybean oil before? Soybean oil's high smoke point (465°F) makes it an excellent option for frying food quickly!)
Heat soybean oil in a large skillet. Add minced garlic and simmer for a minute. Add carrots and cook until almost soft. Add edamame, sugar, soy sauce and oyster sauce and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and make sure they are covered in liquid, if not add some more oyster sauce or water. Cover and cook for three or four minutes or until noodles are done. Remove the mixture from the heat. Scoop a couple of table spoons into each wonton wrapper and fold it sealing the edges with water. Fry in soybean oil and serve with sweet chili sauce.
Sweet Chili Sauce
2 Tbps. Thai chili sauce
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 cup of water
1 tsp white rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. corn starch
1 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat until boiling stirring occasionally.
Now you get to try out some fun Soybean oil cooking with a $25 Walmart GC!

text: Hi, Does anyone know if there is anyway to get emulation of a three button mouse working over vnc? I'm running the Windows client, and the Unix server - I want to run programs that need all three mouse buttons. On my unix box, I have a 2 button mouse, but if both buttons are pressed together, it counts it as the third button. I found the -swapmouse command for the client - but that's not quite what I want. Anyone have any ideas? - all the computers around here have 2 button mice - so there isn't anyway I can get hold of a 3 button one... Thanks. Steve. -- Stephen Wilson. BSc (hons), AMIEE.

We admit to being skeptical of the general reality star-turned-clothing designer aegis, but are surprised at how much we're digging Lauren Conrad's latest LC Lauren Conrad line for Kohl's! These pieces are perfect for our everyday lives, especially when we want some Los Angeles celeb style without the price tags and paparazzi. For your workday, don this floaty Floral Chiffon Dress ($40 on sale), and top it with a Boyfriend Blazer ($40 on sale) in charcoal. Ditch the blazer for evening and add in the black Motorcycle Jacket ($50 on sale) for a subtle, tasteful, and casual-chic look.
*In the interest of full disclosure, we have to tell you (if you haven't guessed) that Kohl's is sponsoring this post. But we also have to admit that we love Kohl's anyway, especially for of-the-moment trends we don't want to spend megabucks on. Like we said, full disclosure.
wow! Did not think I would love the LC stuff as much as I do!!! Finally a celeb with some real style
The sequined cardigan (also on sale at Kohl's right now) is ridiculously cute.

Clint Robinson was one of the most feared hitters in the Pacific Coast League in 2011 and 2012. Then came 2013, a lost campaign spent in the eastern half of the country.
Thankfully for Robinson, the Dodgers came calling this offseason with a chance to return to his familiar PCL stomping grounds. So far, the Albuquerque Isotopes first baseman has looked like his old self.
Robinson, 29, has hit .389/.468/.519 with two home runs and nine RBI through 14 games with Albuquerque. That's a marked improvement over the .254/.353/.421 line he had with the Toronto Blue Jays' Triple-A and Double-A teams last season.
"So far it's going well," Robinson said. "Two weeks in, we're still getting to know each other as teammates, getting to know the teams around the league. So far it's been a pretty good transition."
Robinson was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 2007. He reached Omaha in 2011 and played there again in 2012. But he was blocked at the big-league level by young starts Eric Hosmer at first base and Billy Butler at designated hitter. Robinson only had four at-bats in four games with Kansas City in 2012.
The Royals packaged Robinson with reliever Vin Mazzaro in a four-player trade to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Robinson never played in Pittsburgh, however, as the Blue Jays claimed him off waivers at the end of spring training last year. Then came the surprising news that Toronto was sending Robinson to Double-A New Hampshire instead of Triple-A Buffalo.
"When it first happened in spring training you don't really expect to go from having success in Triple-A year-in and year-out and being told you're being sent to Double-A," Robinson said. "It's kind of a shot to your ego a little bit. I know you can't really help it, but it's kind of embarrassing for me. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Double-A, but …
"It's part of the game, you've got to learn to get through it, go out and play the game, and let the decision-makers make their decisions. There's not really anything you can do about it. So you just have to go out and do your job, earn your paycheck. That's what I did."
Robinson did play 35 games at Buffalo later in the year, but when he qualified for minor-league free agency he started looking at other organizations. Despite the presence of All-Star Adrian Gonzalez at first base in Los Angeles, Robinson did not pass up a chance to join the Dodgers when they offered him a contract.
"They wanted me, showed interest and at the end of the day, this is my job and this is how I make my living and take care of my family," Robinson said. "That's number one to me. It has really nothing to do with the major-league situation. I don't even think about that. It's just where could I go, enjoy myself doing what I like to do and get paid to do it? That's pretty much my only thought about it."
The Isotopes have appreciated Robinson's contributions so far, and not just what he does on the field. His professional approach and attitude has been welcomed in the clubhouse. Albuquerque hitting coach Franklin Stubbs said Robinson has many of the qualities that teams look for in a veteran.
"Consistency, a guy that can swing the bat, catch the ball, very humble, works hard every day," Stubbs said. "Those traits that you look for when you have guys to help out your young guys grow. And hopefully in doing so he puts together a good season and gets himself back to the big leagues."
Robinson and the Isotopes will wrap up their series with El Paso on Friday at 7:05 p.m. The team will then hit the road for eight games before returning for a 12-game homestand starting April 28.

The Apple's iPad has its own native video creator called the iMovie. Though this iOS app works great in creating your masterpiece, it will cost you $4.99 to have an indispensable tool at your disposal. But with the introduction of this free iPad video creator by Corel, this app will cost you nothing at all. You might think that Corel's video creator app is somewhat inferior to iMovie because it is free, but it's not. I suggest that you take it for a spin and see for yourself if it's worth a try.
The iOS app I'm talking about is Pinnacle Studio 2.0 for iPad, a free iPad video creator software that you can download and install for free courtesy of Corel. Previously Pinnacle Studio can be seen installed on desktop computers and quite popular to Windows users. So if you're a previous Pinnacle Studio user, you will see that there are a lot of improvements than before. But for the new user, you will never be intimidated by the app's straightforward interface.
Using your iPad as a video editor, maybe it's best to choose the landscape mode instead of the portrait mode that works best if you need a larger space for your video editing needs. To create your own movie, just drag and drop a photo, video clip, transition effect, title or existing MP3 recordings to the storyboard or timeline. You can then arrange these objects in order the way you wanted them to be. If you want, you can always remove unnecessary part of a video clip or audio clip by trimming them. Additionally you can put motion and static titles and you can edit its attributes like colors, fonts and sizes to suit your needs.
After doing a lot of changes, save your movie project as a video file or export your movie project to Facebook, email it to a friend or upload it to YouTube. If you want to dig deeper into the heart of the Pinnacle Studio 2.0 for iPad, you can always consult its user guide that comes with the software.
What do you think of Pinnacle Studio 2.0 for iPad? Do you know of similar free iPad video creator software? Share your thoughts with the rest of us here by sending me a message or by posting your comments below.

art from the heart of the gypsy, exploding boundaries edge to edge, transforming the matter of life into art.
"every piece of art is defined by its edges, as is the artist who created it. as curator of our own edges, the shape of the world we live in is altered by the boundaries we create or accept."
-elle-je' freeheart-
because words are one of my art forms you will find many of them on this site. words, sentences, paragraphs, stories……. for you to read or not…. this site is for you to peruse and enjoy in anyway that pleases you.
i offer my art to the fearless few who are willing to reexamine mainstream conformity, with its traditional ideas of acceptable identity, beauty, value, beliefs, or custom. to that end i surrender to that which reaches beyond my work into the broader realm that has no boundaries.

Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley
Brave New World Spirituality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Part.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"There was a thing, as I've said before, called Christianity."
"The ethics and philosophy of under-consumption…"
"So essential when there was under-production; but in an age of machines and the fixation of nitrogen—positively a crime against society." (3.200-4)
This statement is basically a less explicit form of Mustapha's later claim that "God isn't compatible with machinery."
Quote #2
"All crosses had their tops cut and became T's. There was also a thing called God."
"We have the World State now. And Ford's Day celebrations, and Community Sings, and Solidarity Services." (3.206-8)
Mustapha and the other World Controllers have tried to isolate what they consider the purpose of religion (comfort, community, rites) from the process of religion (suffering, questioning, striving, betterment).
Quote #3
Alternate Thursdays were Bernard's Solidarity Service days. After an early dinner at the Aphroditzeum (to which Helrnholtz had recently been elected under Rule Two) he took leave of his friend and, hailing a taxi on the roof told the man to fly to the Fordson Community Singery. The machine rose a couple of hundred metres, then headed eastwards, and as it turned, there before Bernard's eyes, gigantically beautiful, was the Singery. Flood-lighted, its three hundred and twenty metres of white Carrara-surrogate gleamed with a snowy incandescence over Ludgate Hill; at each of the four corners of its helicopter platform an immense T shone crimson against the night, and from the mouths of twenty-four vast golden trumpets rumbled a solemn synthetic music. (5.2.1)
The religious implications here are clear; this is the World State's replacement for religious service. The fact that it ends up being a narcotic-filled orgy is clear evidence that spirituality has been utterly perverted in this new world.

It's a scene that could have been lifted straight out of Tyler Perry's hit TV show "The Haves and the Have Nots". On the show, both Jim and Katheryn (the husband and wife characters of the wealthy and powerful Cryer family) have often told their maid Celine that she is fired, but she refuses to leave. Well CNN reported today that an Upland, California, family has fired their nanny Diane Stretton, 64, and Stretton refuses to move out.
Ralph and Marcella Bracamonte said they hired Stretton as a nanny on March 4. She was supposed to help with the children and also pitch in with chores around the house in exchange for room and board. The Bracamontes followed the usual protocols of caution and investigated her background.
According to the Bracamontes, the results came back clean, and Stretton moved in and went to work. Marcella said that things went fine for a time and then in May, for no apparent reason, one day Stretton just stopped doing anything. Whenever she was home, she stayed locked up in her room.
The Bracamontes tried to reason with her, but to no avail. On June 6, fed up with the situation, Mrs. Bracamonte fired Stretton. Stretton wouldn't leave the home, so the Bracamontes called the Upland Police Department. They were shocked and dismayed when the police told them that they couldn't simply boot Stretton out or change the locks. Instead, they would have to initiate litigation through the court system to formally evict her.
According to Sgt. Don Dodt of the Upland Police Department, "once someone has established a residency in a home, the landlord or owner of the property must go to court to get the person evicted." Stretton took full advantage of the news. Mrs. Bracamonte said Stretton went as far as threatening to sue the family if they didn't turn on the air conditioner when she wanted. She also, allegedly, wrote a letter demanding that the family not be home during certain hours during the day so that she could enjoy some privacy.
While the Bracamontes are in the process of legally evicting Stretton, Mrs. Bracamonte has taken to social media to drive Stretton out. She called for help from friends by posting on her Facebook page, "I need help! I need A TON OF FRIENDS TO COME STAY AND HANG WITH ME AT MY HOUSE! Sleep in the living room all spread out to annoy her!" That may have been just the push the ex-nanny needed because the Bracamontes say she was not home on Friday.
The case is still in the very early stages, but the Bracamontes have found one thing that just might sway things in their favor. Stretton is on "California Courts' Vexatious Litigant List, a list of people who continually bring legal action, regardless of merit, against others with the sole intention of harassment." Score one for the home team.
