I found out I could invert my trackpad scrolling, so as to work more like the OS X "natural scrolling", which I liked better.
To do that, I run the following command on startup:
xinput set-button-map 11 1 2 3 5 4 7 6
Where 11 is the touchpad id (found with
xinput list and
xinput test 11). This inverts the vertical and horizontal two-finger scrolling, and works fine in Terminal, Chrome, Document Viewer, etc.
However, it doesn't work in Nautilus and some applications such as the Update Manager, as they keep the usual mapping. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 x64
Why does this mapping work for some applications but not for others? I know there is software I can download to do the same, but this method seemed "cleaner".

(PRBuzz.com) May 10, 2013 -- On Saturday, Henderson Properties, a full service real estate firm based in Charlotte, participated in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes at Carowinds amusement park.
The team, named "Blake's Buddies", used the walk as an opportunity to contribute to Henderson Properties' fundraising for Type 1 diabetes research. At this point, the firm has raised $7,661.50.
Diagnoses of Type 1 Diabetes are steadily increasing by three percent every year. Currently, about five out of every 1,500 children are living with the life threatening disease, according to Dr. Mark Vanderwel, a pediatrics specialist in Charlotte.
"We haven't really seen a lot of the things that have pointed to why diabetes is a little more common now, even then it was two decades ago," said Vanderwel.
Blake's Buddies, comprised of Henderson Properties staff and family members and friends, hopes to accelerate the progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating and preventing T1D.
The team is named for Blake Henderson, a 17 year old high school football state champion, who has battled T1D since the age of seven. Blake's strength and his proactive attitude to address his condition is the inspiration behind the team's fundraising efforts.
The staff members from Henderson Properties who represented "Blake's Buddies" during the walk included: Amber Callan, Jeanie Colvin, Stella Jalon, Scott Negley, Heather Todd and Shelly and Phil Henderson. The team distinguished themselves from other teams by dressing in camouflage.
"It's good to know that we are a team, both at work and outside of work," said Shelly Henderson, of Henderson Properties. "We are already looking forward to raising more money during next year's walk and eventually reaching our goal of $15,000 collected in one year."
The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes is held in locations throughout the world. Since 1992, the walk has raised more than $1 billion. It is the largest nongovernment fundraiser of T1D research. This year, 7000 walkers arrived at Carowinds on April 27th to participate.

Clinton Wants to Put North Carolina in 'Winning Column'
Nick Timiraos reports on the presidential race from Winston-Salem, N.C.:
Hillary Clinton joined rival Barack Obama on Wednesday night in promising to make North Carolina competitive for Democrats this fall. "I don't want to just do well in the primary; I want to be the nominee who puts North Carolina back into the winning column for the Democrats," she said during a town hall at Forsyth Technical Community College.
Clinton's own political advisor ruled out that possibility in an interview with the New York Times earlier this month, when he dismissed many of the states Obama has won as unlikely to vote Democratic. "They're great states, but Idaho, Nebraska and the Carolinas are not going to be in the Democratic column in November," Harold Ickes told the Times. Sen. Clinton's declaration comes as the Obama campaign has touted the Illinois senator as having a far better chance at turning the Tar Heel State blue.
Polls show that it's going to be an uphill climb either way. This week's Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Republican nominee John McCain leading Obama 51% to 42%, and the Arizona senator leads Clinton by a 50% to 34% margin. McCain is viewed favorably by 62% of North Carolina voters, compared to 48% for Obama and 38% for Clinton.
North Carolina hasn't voted to put a Democrat in the White House since Jimmy Carter's 1976 defeat of Gerald Ford. Bill Clinton came within one percentage point of carrying the state in 1992.
"I'd be surprised if there's anything that could really put North Carolina into swing state status… It's a reliable Republican state," says John Dinan, who teaches political science at Wake Forest University. "The Democrats are going to focus on winnable states long before they turn to North Carolina."
Indeed, even having North Carolina Sen. John Edwards on the Democratic ticket with John Kerry wasn't enough to make a dent in 2004 against President Bush. The Kerry campaign ran some television ads early in the contest but never seriously challenged Bush, who won 56% of the vote in 2000 and 2004.
Clinton knew her audience well enough on Wednesday night when she told them she wouldn't be offended if a few left early. "I know Carolina plays in about 30 minutes," she said, referring to the University of North Carolina's basketball game in the Sweet Sixteen against Washington State. "Well, now, you could wait for the halftime," she added.
There were sports analogies aplenty during Clinton's first campaign swing through North Carolina. During a morning event in Raleigh, she attested to her ability to outlast her political rivals. "The team that wins is the one that reaches down deep, right?"

US Secretary of State John Kerry met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday in his latest bid to revive Middle East talks, as Netanyahu said he would insist on security in any peace deal.
In his fifth visit in as many months, Kerry met Netanyahu for dinner in a hotel and was later to drive to Amman to meet Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas Friday, with possible further shuttling if he sees an opening.
At the start of their meeting Kerry and Netanyahu shook hands for the cameras but did not speak to reporters.
Kerry, who met Jordan's King Abdullah II in Amman before his brief trip to Jerusalem, is seeking to break a three-year stalemate and restart direct negotiations that would ultimately lead to an independent Palestinian state.
Netanyahu earlier set the tone for the meeting by saying that security was "a basic condition" for peace.
"Peace rests on security. It is not based on goodwill or legitimacy as some think. It is based, first and foremost, on our ability to defend ourselves," he told a ceremony marking the anniversary of the death of Theodor Herzl, the founding father of Zionism.
The remarks come after the Haaretz newspaper quoted an anonymous "senior cabinet member" from Netanyahu's Likud party as saying the premier would be ready to give up almost all of the West Bank if Israel's security needs were met.
Netanyahu had tense relations with President Barack Obama during the US leader's first term over the peace process. But an Israeli minister said Netanyahu increasingly saw a strategic interest for resuming peace talks.
"Netanyahu knows there will be a painful evacuation of a number of settlements that are not in the settlement blocs, and that there will be a land swap," Science and Technology Minister Yaakov Peri told army radio.
"Netanyahu is much more ready than in the past, whether it's for ideological or practical reasons, for an immediate return to the negotiating table," said Peri, of the centrist Yesh Atid party.
But Netanyahu emerged from January elections with an even more right-leaning cabinet.
The day before Kerry's arrival, an Israeli planning committee granted final approval for the construction of 69 new settler homes in annexed east Jerusalem.
On Thursday Britain and France issued statements condemning the move as illegal under international law and liable to jeopardise peace efforts.
The Palestinians insist they can only return to negotiations if Israel freezes settlements and agrees the talks will be based on the principle of withdrawing from territories it conquered in the 1967 Six-Day War.
"Israel is sending message after message to Kerry that settlement is their response to any (peace) initiative," senior Palestinian negotiator Hanan Ashrawi told AFP.
"And then they blame the Palestinians for not coming to the negotiating table," she said.
Ashrawi also faulted the United States, saying Israel's main international ally "is playing blind and deaf about Israel's actions and its declarations".
The United States gave a low-key reaction to the latest construction ahead of Kerry's visit, with no public repudiation of the move.
"Obviously steps like this are unhelpful, but we remain hopeful that both parties will recognise the opportunity and the necessity to go back to the table," a senior official travelling with Kerry said on condition of anonymity.
Kerry has pledged to show patience in solving one of the world's most intractable disputes. But he has voiced hope for progress before the annual UN General Assembly in September, where Abbas could rally against Israel if he feels the diplomatic track is hopeless.
"It is urgent because time is the enemy of a peace process," Kerry said Wednesday in Kuwait. "The passage of time allows a vacuum to be filled by people who don't want things to happen."
Kerry, who knows key Middle Eastern players from his decades as a senator, has also tasked his advisers with coming up with an economic development plan to entice the Palestinians and Israelis to seek a peace settlement.
A US official said Kerry also spoke to Jordan's King Abdullah about stepping up assistance to the opposition in neighbouring Syria.
Kerry earlier spoke about coordinating efforts during stops in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Sunni monarchies that have aided rebels battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Casually mention The Strokes to rock fans and be prepared to receive a strong opinion. Many just don't understand allure of this rock band from New York City while others have drank their juice since day one. The latter were excited for their fifth studio album Comedown Machine and are looking forward to their headlining gig at New York's Governor's Ball in June, 2014. The Strokes are: Julian Casablancas (vocals), Albert Hammond Jr. (guitar), Nick Valensi (guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass), and Fab Moretti (drums). This is a band clearly influenced by the tough seventies and also drawn to the pop side of punk. No doubt The Clash and Ramones are influences for this band that mixes a hard exterior but not afraid to slice open their insides, exposing their deepest thoughts and fears through their music.
In 1998 this group started a band and performed at various Lower East Side joints in New York and released an EP titled The Modern Age. The EP was a huge hit, leading to a deal with RCA and a debut album titled Is This It. The release was a huge hit, receiving four stars from Rolling Stone and a world tour that included a headlining gig at UK's Carling Weekend festival. Two singles powered the album, "Hard to Explain" and "Last Nite", the latter charting to number 16, eventually leading the album to over four million sold. The videos for The Strokes have always been straight forward. Often a lot of shots of the band in leather jackets just playing, staring straight ahead, disjointed from the spectacle of life around them. Live performances (Saturday Night Live, Conan O'Brien) were more of the same, typically the band jamming hard while a tortured Casablancas sings into the camera. With some bands, this wouldn't work; they wouldn't be able to sell it. The Stokes have always refuse to fake it, hence the reason on camera it comes off real.
In 2002 The Strokes began recording a follow-up, finally releasing Room on Fire in 2003. Critically is was another big win, but not as much with fans or commercially. Also, in addition to their music, the band was becoming pop culture items, appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone as well as dating celebrities (Moretti dated Drew Barrymore) during this time. It wasn't until 2005 that new music would come from the band. In 2005 the single, "Juicebox" was released, their third album, First Impressions of Earth was released in January 2006. After an extensive tour Casablancas told fans there would be an extended break. The band confirmed and for three years disappeard. In 2009 the band came out of hibernation and began working on a new album, in 2010 they released Angles. Since the band has continued touring, often regulars on the summer festival circuit. In 2013 the band released Comedown Machine, their latest album that returns to the classic sound many fell in love with back in 2001.
Call them punks, dirty rock and rollers, or alternative. It doesn't matter. In the end The Strokes are exactly what they set out to be, a great American rock and roll band.

Almost all of the intriguing ingredients are listed after the preservative in this poorly textured eye cream. The amount of absorbent aluminum starch (third ingredient) lends a powdery matte finish that is a problem for dry skin anywhere on the body, not to mention that it prevents the olive oil and other emollients from being as hydrating as they naturally are. It cannot reduce puffiness or dark circles; if anything, the amount of aluminum starch can irritate skin and make the eye area look puffier, nor does it have any antiwrinkle prowess.
Because it's never too soon to take care of your skin. Prevent the first signs of aging with this ultra-light and non-sticky cream that penetrates skin instantly; allowing you to apply your make-up immediately. Enriched with high performance ingredients, this unique care will increase micro-circulation, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It deeply moisturizes and protects the delicate eye contour area. Hypo-allergenic and perfume free. Ophthalmologist tested.
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, Propylene Glycol, Petrolatum, Alcohol, Polysilicone-11, Glycerin, PEG/PPG-20/15 Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Bisabolol, Sodium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl P-Cresol, Caffeine, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Acmella Oleracea Extract, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Gossypium Hirsutum (Cotton) Extract, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Oxido Reductases, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben
Marcelle At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; Marcelle provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site; drugstores that retail this brand provide testers, including makeup testers; almost every product is fragrance-free; some good cleansers and makeup removers; impressive eyeshadows; great lipsticks and lip glosses.
Weaknesses: The hypoallergenic claims are misleading because this claim isn't regulated and there are no standards governing its use; formaldehyde-releasing preservatives not recommended for those with sensitive skin; the anti-acne products are mostly alcohol, which is damaging to skin and can increase oil production, making acne worse; dated moisturizer formulas; some greasy cleansers; a general lack of state-of-the-art ingredients; foundations with sunscreen do not provide sufficient UVA protection; average to poor mineral makeup; no shades for those with tan or darker complexions; mostly lackluster mascaras.
Nestled among the flashier lines filling the shelves and display cases in Canadian drugstores is this unassuming, attractively priced skin-care and makeup product line. The packaging is simple and the message clear: These are "hypoallergenic and perfume-free," ergo great for sensitive skin. In reality the claim that these products are hypoallergenic isn't accurate in the least—much like Almay—but that claim is Marcelle's major selling point.
First, the term "hypoallergenic" is not regulated; that is, there are no standards in place for that term so a cosmetics company can attribute hypoallergenic to any product they want, regardless of the ingredients. The second point is that even the most scrupulous company, even if it takes the greatest care about what ingredients it includes in its products, simply cannot know what your skin may be allergic to. Marcelle showcases the elimination of "perfume," (aka fragrance) but fragrance is not the only potential culprit in a cosmetic formulation. And third, allergic reactions are not the primary problems that a cosmetic can impart to skin. Irritation is far more pernicious and, indeed, many of Marcelle's products contain ingredients that have a high potential for causing irritation, such as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, and Quaternium 15; one of their products even contains hydrochloric acid. (Can you believe that?!) Irritating skin-care ingredients not only cause free-radical damage but also lead to an increase in oil production in the pore and break down collagen.
Aside from the erroneous claims, Marcelle hasn't kept up to speed with their formulas in comparison to several other lines at the drugstore. You can easily find moisturizers from other lines that have far more elegant textures and formulas teeming with beneficial ingredients just not from Marcelle. Almost every product Marcelle sells is woefully out of date; their rudimentary formulas are akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer.
Color-wise, you'll find the foundation, concealer, and powder shade ranges are limited to those with fair to medium skin tones. Although it's great that the Marcelle displays provide testers for the makeup, much of it is better left alone. There are some high points, particularly the powder eyeshadows, lipstick, and lip glosses, but the mascaras are barely exciting, the pencils all need sharpening, and the powder blush fails to impress.
All told, Marcelle is best viewed as a line with a few sleeper products worth checking out at price points that won't stress most consumers' budgets, although a few dollars more will get you infinitely better options.

CAIRO — Egyptians voted on Saturday in the second and final phase of a referendum on an Islamist-backed constitution that has polarized the nation, with little indication that the result of the vote will end the political crisis in which the country is mired.
For some supporters, a 'yes' vote was a chance to restore some normalcy after nearly two years of tumultuous transitional politics following Egypt's 2011 revolution, or to make society and laws more Islamic. Opponents saw their 'no' vote as a way to preserve the country's secular traditions and prevent President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood group from getting a lock on power.
Hours before polls closed, Morsi's vice president, Mahmoud Mekki, announced his resignation. The move was in part expected since the new charter would eliminate the vice presidency post. But Mekki hinted that the hurried departure could be linked to Morsi's policies.
"I have realized a while ago that the nature of politics don't suit my professional background as a judge," his resignation letter, read on state TV, said. He said he had first submitted his resignation last month but events forced him to stay on.
The resignation underlines the costs Morsi is paying in the bruising constitutional fight, the country's worst turmoil since the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago. Morsi will likely win the victory of the charter's passage. But he has been abandoned by many of the figures he brought into his administration to give it a more broad-based image, leaving him even more reliant on the Brotherhood and ultraconservative Salafis.
Over the past month, seven of Morsi's 17 top advisers and the one Christian among his top four aides resigned. Like Mekki, they said they had never been consulted in advance on any of the president's moves, including Nov. 22 decrees placing him above any oversight and granting himself near absolute powers.
Saturday's vote is taking place in 17 of Egypt's 27 provinces with about 25 million eligible voters. The first phase on Dec. 15 produced a "yes" majority of about 56 percent with a turnout of some 32 percent, according to preliminary results.
Preliminary results for the second round are expected late Saturday or early Sunday. The charter is expected to pass, but a low turnout or relatively low "yes" vote could undermine perceptions of its legitimacy.
For some, the vote was effectively a referendum on Morsi himself, who opponents accuse of turning the government into a monopoly for the Muslim Brotherhood.
In the village of Ikhsas in the Giza countryside south of Cairo, buses ferried women voters to the polling centers in an effort villagers said was by the Muslim Brotherhood.
An elderly man who voted "no" screamed in the polling station that the charter is "a Brotherhood constitution."
"We want a constitution in the interest of Egypt. We want a constitution that serves everyone, not just the Brotherhood. They can't keep fooling the people," 68-year-old Ali Hassan, wearing traditional robes, said.
But the draw of stability that many hope will come from having a constitution was strong. Though few fault-lines in Egypt are black and white, there appeared to be an economic split in voting, with many of the middle and upper classes rejecting the charter and the poor voting "yes."
In Ikhsas, Hassan Kamel, a 49-year-old day worker, said "We the poor will pay the price" of a no vote.
He dismissed the opposition leadership as elite and out of touch. "Show me an office for any of those parties that say no here in Ikhsas or south of Cairo. They are not connecting with people."
As was the case in last week's vote, opposition and rights activists reported numerous irregularities: polling stations opening later than scheduled, Islamists outside stations trying to influence voters to say "yes," and independent monitors denied access.

My OS: Windows 7 Ultimate X64 with SP1
I'm using CCleaner for daily, weekly PC cleanings.
Recently during uninstallation of Acronis True Image, uninstaller crashed and closed itself at the half of uninstallation process. I'm pretty sure that, it doesn't finished operation and the big part of application still exists between system files.
- Is there any freeware software that safely analyzes and cleans system from this kind of trash (trashes of applications which unfinished uninstalling, etc..)?
- As I mentioned above, i'm using CCleaner. But I really don't know, how "safe" this kind of applications are?! My Windows now works well. There are tons of applications & configuration installed. I'm not sure, if after each CCleaner's cleaning, my Windows will work properly or not (for ex, it will delete some important file or reg entry.. etc) Any suggestions?

The last day of Vegas had little to write about from a poker perspective. I couldn't get motivated to play another cash game so just played the Hollywood 2pm tournie, and busted in 7th after losing AJ v 77 and then QQ v AK. In a tournie structured this fast you obviously can't afford to lose these races.
One amusing hand early on in this tournament, blinds are 400-800 and I have a stack of 4800. I open shove cutoff with 6s9c.
Big blind dwells for a good while and then folds, flipping up pocket Jacks. (!)
Dinner at Aquaknox was excellent again, making up for the rapid deterioration shown in the service at previous favourite haunt Koi.
Off to airport in a couple of hours.
Jimbo out.

unfortunately could not show for comedy value, as having fold equity like that was quite important in such a fast structured tournie!

Eat your heart out, Jordan Catalano: Jared Leto has an Oscar.
His performance as transgender AIDS patient Rayon in "Dallas Buyers Club" sent him home with the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday night (March 2), as he triumphed over a field of impressive performances by Michael Fassbender ("12 Years a Slave,") Jonah Hill (and his porcelain veneers in "The Wolf of Wall Street"), Bradley Cooper ("American Hustle") and newcomer Barkhad Abdi ("Captain Phillips").
And, boy, did he look pretty. Blue eyes sparkling, long locks flowing, Leto delivered a simple and moving speech, dedicated in equal parts to his mother, to the 36 million victims of AIDS in the past three decades and to people struggling in the Ukraine and Venezuela. He also gave a shout-out to his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, which has kept him busy for the past six years.
"To all the dreamers, we are here," Leto said, inspired by his mom. "And as you struggle to make your dreams happen to live the impossible, we're thinking of you tonight."
"To the 36 million victims of the AIDS crisis," he said, holding his golden figurine aloft, "I stand with you and for you."
Leto took a break from film for more than a decade before taking on the role of Rayon, and his success in Hollywood might signal more big things to come for the 42-year-old actor.

There is a tug of war in this high school sports media business, and it feels like I'm on both sides of the mud puddle. There I am pulling one way; there I am pulling the other.
Not that I am complaining because the winner, usually, is you, the reader. Usually.
So we got that going for us.
The battle for us in the print media business is covering a sporting event, trying to get the information out live via Twitter or chat or whatever else online, but also preparing to write a full story for print, on deadline.
You want the results right away. That's awesome that you come to us.
But you also want a recap, reaction from the players and coaches. That's awesome that you come to us.
We at The Columbian appreciate your passion. We also hope you understand we might not be able to do everything all the time.
The Camas Papermakers are scheduled to play at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night in the Class 4A state football semifinals. Should they win, they will play the same time the following Saturday.
Uh oh. The Columbian's print deadlines for those nights are early, earlier than the usual. Perhaps too early for a football game that starts at 7:30 p.m. and televised on ROOT Sports (cable Ch. 34). So while we will have the results via Twitter, and we will have a story online as soon as we can, we cannot guarantee that the full game coverage will be in every newspaper Sunday morning.
I know this is difficult to believe, but there are actually some people out there who read things other than Sports. They want their news, business, and life sections. Seriously! And they want it on their front porch on time. Imagine! And that can sometimes interfere with a big sporting event that starts late.
So this weekend, we will be doing our best to keep you posted on the game, as it happens. We know a lot of you will be at the game, but there are also many who will not make the trip to Tacoma but still want to know what is going on in the dome.
• • •
I received a great email on Sunday from a fan who thanked me for all of my Twitter updates from the Camas victory over Eastlake. But she also asked that next week, I give more updates. It was stressful, she said, waiting and waiting for my next tweet.
I respect that, but again, it is part of the tug of war. When covering pro sports or major college sports, there are trained staff on hand taking care of all of the official statistics. This is not true for most high school sporting events. Journalists must rely on themselves to keep the stats. So when Camas is always in a hurry-up offense, and Eastlake is always in a no-huddle offense (yes, there is a difference), well, there is not a lot of time in between plays to give an update on Twitter.
Plus, play-by-play on Twitter can be very annoying to some. So I try to find the proper balance.
Fortunately, the plan for the semifinals is to have a live chat going on with another Columbian writer. The chat should have more updates than Twitter.
• • •
The best part of this tug-of-war is when the two sides complement each other. With the Camas-Eastlake game ending so early, I had time to write my story for print, and the copy editors in the office were so fast they got that story online within minutes of receiving my report.
Our friend Bryan Levesque of gshlfootball.com fame was with me Saturday, helping me out in the press box. (Thanks, Bryan!)
After the game, we were at a nearby coffee shop, me writing my story and Columbian photographer Steve Lane sending his pictures to the office. Levesque watched us do our thing. Less than an hour later, Levesque and I were eating dinner, and he was reading my story and looking at Steve's photos, on his phone. That's when it hit him just how technology has changed the business.
He literally watched Steve and I complete our assignments, then he was reading that finished product online within minutes.
• • •
Some days, I'm a newspaper writer. Some days, I'm an online writer. It's a tug-of-war, and I enjoy being on both sides of it.
Because every day, I'm a high school sports writer.

Yes, I know that most cupcakes are not healthful items to consume, but one must admit they are very appealing to most folks. I do know some people who do not like sweets of any kind, but they are the minority.
If you don't mind indulging in a cupcake now and then -- if your health allows it, of course -- then you might find some recipes here you'd like to try out. Even if you can't eat cupcakes, you might consider donating them to a bake sale.
P.S. In all my recipes, flour means all-purpose and sugar means white granulated. If the recipes call for anything else, I will specify.
Chocolate and vanilla bean cupcakes
Sometimes it's hard to find vanilla bean paste, but it's around, or you can order it online from baking supply stores.
For the cupcakes:
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- For the filling:
- 1 teaspoon water, hot
- 3 1/2 ounces marshmallow creme (sometimes called fluff)
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
For the frosting:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- For the cupcake batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well blended. In a small bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until well combined and lighter in color. Add the eggs and whisk until completely mixed into the butter mixture. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla bean paste. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk until just combined and no large lumps remain. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently in the center. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for five minutes then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling: In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the filling and whisk until completely mixed. Place the filling into a pastry bag fitted with a medium sized star tip. Once the cakes are cooled completely, take a small paring knife and poke it into the center of the cupcake in a cross pattern about 1 inch deep. Take the pastry bag and place the tip into the cross and pipe in about one tablespoon of filling, or until the filling just starts to come out of the hole. Clean off the tops of the cupcakes before frosting.
- For the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the butter and vanilla bean paste. Add the powdered sugar and 3/4 of the milk. Whisk to combine. If the frosting seems stiff add the remaining milk. Frost the cupcakes as desired. Makes one dozen.
Cherry Coke float cupcakes
You can use Cherry Coke or plain, as you will be adding cherry syrup to the batter.
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup Coca-Cola
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherry syrup
- 24 maraschino cherries (pitted)
- Whipped cream, for frosting ice-cream chocolate shell
- Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat the egg, buttermilk and vanilla in a second bowl. In a saucepan, boil the Coca-Cola, and cherry syrup gently for five minutes. Melt in the butter and cocoa powder. Pour into the dry ingredients, stir well with a wooden spoon, and then add the liquid ingredients, beating until everything is blended.
- Pour into the cupcake pans and push a cherry into the center of each cupcake. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- When cool frost with whipped cream. Drizzle on chocolate glaze and top with a maraschino cherry. Makes one dozen.
Dulce de leche cupcakes
Find canned dulce de leche in Mexican markets or in the Mexican food section of your supermarket.
For the cupcakes:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup milk
For the frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup dulce de leche
- For cupcake batter: Preheat oven to 325. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or insert paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the sugars and butter. Add the eggs and vanilla until combined. Alternate the flour mixture with the milk until you get a smooth batter. Spoon into the muffin pan wells equally, about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
- For frosting: Cream together softened butter and powdered sugar on low using an electric mixer. Add cream, vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed until smooth and no lumps appear. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the prepared dulce de leche and beat to blend well. Frost cooled cupcakes using a knife or a pastry bag and tip. Makes one dozen.
Strawberry cream cheese cupcakes
Adapted from a recipe by Paula Deen.
For the cupcakes:
- 1 box (18.25-oz.) white cake mix
- 1 box (3-oz.) strawberry flavored gelatin
- 1 package (15-oz.) frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed (Note: You can also buy two 10-oz. packages and use any leftover strawberry puree in the frosting.)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
For the frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 package (8-oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree (Measure it from the leftover puree you made for the batter.)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Up to 7 cups confectioners' sugar
- Fresh sliced strawberries, for garnish
- For the cupcake batter: Preheat oven to 350. Line three 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix and gelatin. Add pureed strawberries, eggs, oil, and water; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Don't worry if the batter seems a bit runny.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning the pans once, halfway through. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick to check if they are done. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in 1/4 cup of the strawberry puree and the vanilla extract. (The rest of the puree is leftover but can be used in smoothies or on ice cream for a delicious treat.) Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Frost the cupcakes with a butter knife or spatula, or pipe on the frosting with a big star tip. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired. Makes 36 cupcakes.

Asia's all-rookie combination of Yoshinori Fujimoto and Wu Ashun looked set to claim a notable scalp before they let the Molinari brothers off the hook on the opening day of the Royal Trophy golf championship at The Empire Hotel & Country Club, Brunei, on Friday.
The sixth Royal Trophy features Europe against an Asian team is being played until Sunday in a series of 16 foursomes, four-ball and singles matches.
On Friday, Chinese ace Wu's birdie putt lipped out on the eighth, and Edoardo Molinari holed an outrageous thirty footer on the ninth to ensure the hole would be halved in birdies.
That seemed to swing the match the way of the Italians — Eduardo and Francesco — who have triumphed in both the Ryder Cup and the World Cup of golf in the past. They rattled off four more birdies at the start of the second nine, and the European duo canceled out Fujimoto's defiant birdie from 12 feet on the short 14th with yet another birdie of their own on the 15th.
Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Jeev Milkha Singh lost to Marcel Siem and Nicolas Colsaerts one down.
This match took along time to warm up, with neither paring managing a single birdie until Kiradech hit a glorious approach to around seven feet on the ninth, and Singh calmly sank the decisive putt. But as in every other match, it seemed the mandatory break at the end of the first nine did the Asian combinations no favors at all.
Singh's approach again ended up seven feet away, but when Colsaerts hit his second shot to within tap-in range, Kiradech could not find the putt to force a half. Two clumsy birdies handed the Europeans a vital advantage and even though they clawed a hole back with a birdie on the long 16th they came up just short in a scrappy encounter.
Ryo Ishikawa and Bae Sang-moon lost to Henrik Stenson and Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño 5&4
This was Foursomes of the highest quality, even if Bae later claimed he had been disappointed with his performance. He and Ishikawa threw five birdies at their opponents in the first seven holes — and still found themselves one down at that point.
Stenson and Fernández-Castaño had edged in front when their opponents failed to make par on the sixth. But they did not need any help as they romped away with the back nine.
They birdied the first four holes, with Stenson doing most of the damage with his searing long game and Ferandez-Castano showing a tremendous touch with the putter.
YE Yang and KT Kim halved with Miguel Ángel Jiménez and José Maria Olazábal
The all-Korean duo of Yang and Kim prevented a European clean sweep in the opening session, but only after a titanic duel with the battle-hardened Spaniards. It was punch and counter punch from the very start, with Jimenez rolling in a 15 footer to win the opening hole, and Kim smashing a magnificent second shot onto the green at the long second to leave his partner a great chance of eagle.
Yang's ten-footer agonizingly lipped out, but a birdie was good enough to win the hole. The European captain and his partner edged two clear with birdies at the sixth and tenth holes, but it was all-square after 15 as the Koreans dug deep. It still looked like another point for Europe as they win the 17th hole to one up again — but they then put one ball in a water hazard and lost another in a bush, and wisely shook hands on a half.

In a slump...
Monday, May 10, 2010
So, needless to say, I actually gained a few pounds before my senior Recital. Don't get me wrong, everyone still said I looked beautiful, but it would have been fantastic to fit into a dress at least one size smaller. I recently had my favorite pair of jeans rip, so I had to order new ones...yet again it would have been nice to order a size 8 instead of a 10.
I need people to help motivate me...My friends and family just say "Oh you look fine" or my ever favorite "You are NOT fat". These comments are NOT helpful. True, I don't want you to look at me say "Oh my God you are so HUGE" or "You Heffer" but still...something would be nice. Because when I hear that everyone thinks I look fine I completely believe it and then think I don't need to fix it.
I plan this summer to work out on my parents elliptical along with my EA sports active for the Wii. I think if just try to wake up a little bit earlier for work and work out, I'll be okay.
And then there's the other problem...WORK. Working at a Mall is one of the WORST things ever. Not only is it all greasy foods, but I also work with ONLY women who are constantly bringing in cookies, or having pizza parties or buying chick-fil-a for the store. It's hard when your manager says " what's for dinner" and we typically always get something greasy. The salad place in the mall just shut down so what's my option now? Yes they are putting a sushi place instead, but really how healthy is THAT? I guess I need to start taking my lunch to work...it's hard with the temptation ALL around me!!
I may not be the BEST in this picture, but this is my goal for right now. I feel like if I go to the extreme, it won't happen.

Haha, I can't say "you heifer???" Darn. Ok, so now I feel bad that I totally missed your post on my page back in February! I promise to be here for you now to make up for that. Did they get rid of the soup place in the mall too? Because the right soup can be really filling and low in calories if you plan for it.
Working at a vet means that people are always bringing in goodies as well, there's always a cake for one of the 50 employees' birthdays, etc. For me, the easiest way to avoid these things is to have planned ahead of time what I'm going to eat for that day. If I know what is going into that calorie tracker and that I've already planned for a 200-300 calorie snack at the end of the day, it's easier to avoid something totally damaging in the afternoon or whatever. And, obviously, taking something from home to eat to munch on instead is helpful, that way you're eating something and don't feel the need to shove the bad stuff in your mouth! A handful of almonds is filling, Larabars or Luna protein bars are really good (like a frigging candy bar, I swear), and pretty filling too.
Love you, love you so much baby sister. I love that you want to do this for you, that's what makes it the right time. I know how you feel, I've been there, and you know I'm here for you. Mwah! You're going to look hot for my wedding!

Philomath - Employees from Georgia-Pacific West, Inc.'s
Sawmill and Planer (G-P Philomath) have earned the plant
recognition as a "Star" participant in Oregon
OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The mill is
one of only 3 "Star" sites, and one of 4 VPP
sites in Oregon.
G-P Philomath has 147 employees who are very active in
the company's safety and health program. Site management
continues to be very pro-active toward safety and health,
placing a strong emphasis on safe work practices. Employees
have a variety of opportunities to be meaningfully and
substantially involved in all parts of the company safety
and health program. Together, management and labor at the
facility have created a workplace culture where safety
is no longer just a priority, it is a core value for each
and every employee.
The mill is the first facility in Oregon to "graduate"
from Oregon OSHA's Safety & Health Recognition Program
(SHARP) into the VPP. The facility was awarded SHARP status
in early 2000, and then attained "Merit" status
in VPP during November of 2000. An Oregon OSHA VPP evaluation
team visited the site in October of 2001 and found that
the safety and health program management system at G-P
Philomath continued to exceed Oregon OSHA requirements.
They observed that the various safety and health related
programs as well as safety and health conditions at the
site were well above average for the industry.
"Star" status is the highest level attainable
under the VPP program. To achieve VPP "Star"
status, a worksite must have a three-year average injury
and illness rate that is at or below those of its industry.
The worksite must also undergo extensive Oregon OSHA reviews
of workplace conditions, safety records, employee safety
and health programs, regulatory compliance, and personnel
Oregon OSHA's VPP companies are removed from routine scheduled
inspection lists for the duration of their participation.
Employees lose none of their rights under the program,
and Oregon OSHA will still investigate accidents, valid
formal complaints and chemical spills. Oregon's Voluntary
Protection Program recognizes and promotes effective safety
and health management. The VPP concept recognizes that
enforcement alone can never fully achieve the objectives
of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
For more information about G-P Philomath, contact Melodie
Ruse at Georgia-Pacific Corporation, 404- 652-4747. If
you have questions regarding the VPP, please contact the
Oregon OSHA VPP coordinator, Mark E. Hurliman at 503-947-7437,
or toll free in Oregon at 1-800-922-2689. Information is
also available on line at www.orosha.org.

CompuChild® of West Central Indiana
CompuChild of West Central Indiana is dedicated to providing affordable technology education to early learners. We provide small group, teacher guided instruction during the school day. CompuChild students quickly begin to respect technology, learn proper terminology and how computers and devices work.
Age Appropriate Programs
2 year olds- Students learn appropriate behavior around computers and begin to identify parts of the computer. We only use 'gentle hands' and good posture in computer class !
3&4 year olds- Students will learn about parts of the computer does, hardware/software, programs, keyboarding and more! Students are always eager to show their families their new computer skills!
PreK- Students will benefit from our core curriculum and more! To ensure our students are ready for elementary school, we go through our program at a slightly faster rate and learn more emphasis points associated with tablets and laptops!
School-Agers- We also offer LEGO Robotics (WeDo) for students up to age 10. Students are exposed to basic engineering and programming concepts when building LEGO robots. Students have a blast building LEGO models and then connecting them to a computer to program them to move and make sounds!
** LEGO Robotics, Little Bits, Digital Microscope, Claymation and Digital Art workshops are also available for most classes during special workshops sessions **
Jodi Cottrell- Program Director/Teacher
I started CompuChild of West Central Indiana with a desire to make an impact on young children in our community, by acting on a need I saw in my own family.
As I prepared our son for school, I realized I did not prepare him for the computer labs and technology demands he would encounter in school. He could use my touch screen phone to play games and he also transitioned from a desktop PC to a laptop well. However, what he lacked was the terminology and understanding of how to use and care for these tools. He knew how to play on the computer and smart phone, but that was it! When I tried to instruct him how to operate or troubleshoot he didn't understand because I did not arm him with the knowledge and skills. As a CompuChild business owner, my core goal is to equip my students with the knowledge and skills needed to benefit from the technology around them. I take pride in knowing I am helping children in West Central Indiana.
I have over 15 year of experience in the preschool and daycare industry and obtained my BS from Eastern Illinois University. I have lived in West Central Indiana with my husband for 14 years and we have two children. The entire family is involved in CompuChild– It is great doing what I love with the people I love. You just might see us at an upcoming event at your school or community- be sure to stop by our table!

"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
- Slender Speedwell (Veronica filiformis) -
(Slender Speedwell - 03) In this approximately 30 times enlargement, we focused on the knob-like stigma (lower-left) and the two anthers, the upper left one being the better one to view. The name "speedwell" was derived from a legend concerning its healing powers. The legend relates a story about Jesus Christ's journey to Calvary, and how a young maiden (later canonized as St. Veronica) wiped His face with the flowers. As a result, healing properties were transferred to the flower. This is also how the scientific name was derived.

Acupuncture May Cut Pregnancy Pelvic Pain
Safety First With Acupuncture continued...
Acupressure applies pressure to specific points, but does not use needles.
Many acupuncture studies have been done, and some have been more useful than others, says the NCCAM. More work is needed, but promising results have been seen in acupuncture studies of adults with pain after surgery or dental procedures, chemotherapy nausea, and vomiting, says the NCCAM.
In 1997, an NIH panel also noted that acupuncture might help relieve nausea during pregnancy. A long list of other conditions -- including addiction, menstrual cramps, and pain from knee osteoarthritis -- might also benefit from acupuncture, says the NCCAM.
Swedish Study Shows Acupuncture Helps
The pelvic girdle pain study included 386 pregnant women. All were 12-31 weeks into their pregnancy.
Every woman got standard care -- education about activity, rest, and the back and pelvis. They also got a pelvic belt for support and a home exercise program to strengthen their stomach and gluteal muscles.
Another group of women also got two acupuncture sessions per week for six weeks. The women's and babies' heart rates were monitored before and after all treatments.
A third group got standard care plus specific exercises to stabilize their back and pelvis. The women were instructed to do the exercises throughout the day at home and with a trainer for six weeks.
The acupuncture group got the most relief from pelvic girdle pain, followed by the stabilization exercise group. Those who just got standard care didn't have any improvement. The findings were based on patients' pain reports recorded every morning and evening, along with an examiner's evaluation.
No one had any serious side effects during the treatments or follow-up a week later. The study by Swedish midwife Helen Elden and colleagues appears on BMJ Online First.

A quotation from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has been included in the 18th edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, which hit stores November 9.
The quotation chosen for inclusion:
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
Did you just visualize Ben Schoen saying this on MuggleCast?
The first edition of Bartlett's was published in 1855, and is renowned for collecting famous and culturally significant quotations, so it's quite an honor for Rowling to be included in the most recent edition! Jon Stewart, Maurice Sendak, and Bruce Springsteen are also among those who have new quotations appearing in this edition of Bartlett's. Check out the whole list here.

None of them. There is no commercial grammar checker that I know of which even approaches the ability of a halfway-competent native speaker. If you're thinking that grammar-checking software will help you with your typos and grammar mistakes, think again. This is one thing that still requires human intelligence.
Springpad isn't a "writing app," but it's a great note taking app for Android and Chrome. Not only can you write notes, but you take pictures, record audio, and organize everything into notebooks.
Focus on your main goal: It should be readable and intuitive The other two goals make your life easier, but not necessarily the lives of your readers. Your readers come first. So screenshots of a directory structure would be easy to comprehend. But if you have stress and have to finish the book because of some deadline, what will suffer most? Yes, ...
I would go with option 2. However, you do not need to manually build the structure. I instead recommend using a tool such as Tree which should handle the pretty-printing for you as below: $ tree -d /var var |-- backups |-- cache | |-- app-install | |-- apt | | `-- archives | | `-- partial | |-- apt-xapian-index | | |-- index.1 | | `...
Try tree -d at the cli. Does pretty much what you want - automatically and should be easy to copy and paste into a document. shelelia@halo:~$ tree -d installs installs ├── bash_library ├── dropbox │ ├── DEBIAN │ ├── DropboxServiceMenu-0.16.1 │ │ └── dropbox-scripts │ └── kde ├── HP ... It looks better on the console than in this post.
I do something similar to your ASCII implementation, but instead of an ASCII block I use compact bulleted lists (with sub-lists). File/directory names are still styled as they would be in running text. In addition to conveying the structure, this also gives me a handy place to add explanations where needed, which is particularly important when (from the ...
Perhaps the two most important criteria are faculty whose writing you like and who get good recommendations as teachers guaranteed funding for students (through teaching or otherwise) If you're already wealthy, you can skip #2.
You can start by searching universities, rankings for MFA programs, and in general, advice from experienced people on how to choose programs (Google is your best friend here). In the end, I think you will have to settle on your own criteria after considering what the others have to say.
You probably need to check the Include in Compile checkbox in the Notes Inspector (View → Inspect → Notes; ⌃⌥⌘H) Section 21.3 in the manual is about goals and statistics tracking by the way.
An MFA would come in handy when working in the publishing world. A lot of editors for publishing houses have MFAs and even owners of publishing houses occasionally have them. I know at least one of the editors at the primary house I work for has one and I'll be pursuing an MFA myself. Not only does the experience often help editors, it gives the publishing ...
I applied to an MFA program as a side-option last year, and I am about 90% per cent certain that I read this somewhere on the department's site/admissions portal. (The 10% uncertainty comes from not being able to recall where exactly, maybe on a FAQ somewhere). Paraphrased: Our students usually are able to find part time work as editors for newspapers/...
As far as I've been able to ascertain through the years the "educational" institutions are about the only place that the MFA carries any weight. In a way I'm glad I didn't go for one decades ago.
A good reputation amongst actual recent alumni is the most telling factor, I've found. Most universities' published ratings can be a bit outdated and/or based on criteria that looks more impressive on paper than in the actual classroom. That said, a program's worth is often subjective, relative to what the student is looking to gain. Some programs have a ...
The Creative Writing MFA Handbook has a lot of useful tips for students interested in a creative writing MFA, including what to look for in, and how to pick, MFA programs.
I checked few tool like Grammarly, specllcheckplus, writing dynamo and white smoke. I felt white smoke is worst of all. Grammarly, specllcheckplus and writing dynamo are compete very closely, but I found Grammarly is better than both specllcheckplus and writing dynamo. Still Grammarly doesn't catch all the issues, it catches at least to some extend. Also ...
yWriter also keeps a timeline for each viewpoint character and keeps track of characters, locations, and objects present on a scene-by-scene basis.
Other than Scrivener, already noted above, Excel or another spreadsheet program might be what you need here. In your first column you have your scene or other outline notation to identify where your character is in the story, and then your subsequent columns are Food Remaining or Location or whatever. If you want to get real fancy-schmancy, you can even use ...
There are LOTS of ways to structure a book. Depending on what you're writing, there may or may not be any expected frameworks. Long-Form Fiction, such as speculative fiction novels, movie scripts, and semi-fanciful "alternate histories" usually progress lineally along one or more character's perspectives along a three-act progression, though more acts are ...
Duden Korrektor Hey, don't give me that look. There is no better checker on the market for the German language. Trust me.
Wasabi offers two approaches to it (you can find them both here) either indented root/ # entry comments can be inline after a '#' # or on their own line, also after a '#' readme.md # a child of, 'root/', it's indented # under its parent. usage.md # indented syntax is nice for small projects # and short comments. src/...

This is an oatmeal bread like no other. It's a bread recipe has a unique taste which you will come to crave. Whether toasted and spread with melted butter and jam or in your favorite sandwich, there is something so pleasing and gratifying, that you will begin making this on a regular basis.
The scent of baking bread is such a tremendous experience that it can immediately send all your senses into overdrive. In the world of aromatherapy, this is a scent that can spiral you to a comfort zone like no other. Baking bread is such a wonderful experience -- the process of mixing and kneading is as fulfilling as the aroma enveloping your kitchen. When it's done and you slice into it, it's a feeling of triumph.
Oatmeal Bread Recipe
Ingredients for Oatmeal Bread (makes 2 loaves):
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 package dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water (105 – 115 degrees)
- ½ cup molasses
- 2 tsp. salt
- 5 ½ - 6 ¼ cups flour
- Melted butter for brushing on the loaves
Directions for making Oatmeal Bread:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiling water, butter, and oatmeal. Let stand for 1 hour (if you're using quick oats, stand for 30 minutes).
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, and stir into the oatmeal mixture. Add molasses, salt and as much of the flour as you can stir into the oat mixture.
On a lightly floured board, knead the dough for 6 – 8 minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning it over to oil all surfaces of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (about 70 – 75 degrees) until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Punch the dough down with a floured fist, divide it in half and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape each loaf by rolling into a rectangle with a floured rolling pin, then roll up the rectangle like a jelly roll, tucking the ends under the seamed side. Place in greased bread pans seamed side down, and brush with melted butter. Let rise again in a warm place until almost doubled (45 minutes) – do not cover.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans, spread the top with melted butter, and cool on a wire rack.

Today morning, I saw 2-3 ten year olds dropping rubbish into a post box on our street. On seeing someone walk towards them, they quickly dropped the litter and ran away. Few years back, in Chennai I saw a couple of boys being given a sound thrashing by some people. I learnt that they were dropping fire crackers (bijili vedi) into the post box and were caught red handed. No wonder why some mails get lost. As they say 'boys are boys', where ever they are.

Upon the filing of a recommendation for discipline or disability retirement, the Court shall promptly docket the matter for expedited consideration, but not sooner than the end of the time allowed for appeal of the panel's disposition by the board or judge. If the board or judge appeals the disposition of the hearing panel, the Court shall consider the recommended disposition under Rule 11(b)(3) or Rule 16(f)(1)(ii) at the same time as any appeal regarding those recommendations.
The board shall, and the judge may, file briefs with the Court in accordance with the requirements of Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 128. Any party seeking to challenge a finding of fact by the panel shall order a transcript.
(1) If the Court desires an expansion of the record or additional findings with respect either to the recommendation for discipline or to the sanction to be imposed, it shall remand the matter to the hearing panel with appropriate directions, retaining jurisdiction, and shall stay proceedings pending receipt of the panel's filing of the additional record.
(2) The Court may order additional filings or oral argument as to specified issues or the entire matter.
(3) The Court without remand and prior to the imposition of discipline may accept or solicit supplementary filings with respect to medical or other information, provided that the parties have notice and an opportunity to be heard.
The Court, on receipt of notice of an additional proceeding before the board involving the same judge, may stay proceedings pending the board's termination of this additional proceeding. In the event that additional recommendations for discipline of the judge are filed, the Court may impose a single sanction covering all recommendations.
When the hearing panel recommends the Supreme Court impose sanctions under Rule 11(b)(3), the Court shall review the record of the proceedings, giving deference to the facts, and shall file a written opinion and judgment directing such discipline or other action as it concludes is just and proper. If the judge or board has filed an appeal under Rule 11(d), the Court may accept the recommendation of the panel, or reject or modify it in whole or in part.
When the hearing panel recommends the removal of a judge, the Court shall promptly notify the judge and the Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board and give them an opportunity to be heard in the Court on the issue of lawyer discipline.
When any Formal Complaint or Formal Statement of Disability Proceeding has been filed against a member of the Supreme Court, the review under Rule 14 shall be submitted to and heard by a panel consisting of the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals or designee and six others chosen at random from among the judges of the Court of Appeals by the Chief Judge or designee.
In its decision, the Court may direct that no petition for rehearing will be entertained, in which event its decision shall be final upon filing. If the Court does not so direct, the respondent may file a petition for rehearing in accordance with the requirements of Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 140.

Grafton E-Waste Event Coming Saturday
The event's for electronics: computer systems (including laptops and notebooks); peripherals like printers, scanners, copiers and faxes; accessories like keyboards, mice, speakers, cords and cables; external drives; DVD players and game consoles and (joy of joys) computer monitors and TV's which, most places, cost extra money to recycle. But, what the heck, bring your kitchen mixer and toaster, too, although not your old washing machine. A list of what's OK and what isn't's here:
The Grafton Township complex is at 10109 Vine Street in Huntley. Upgrading Route 47's changed Vine Street access. There's still one from 47 directly but it's in a different place now. There's still access from 47 and Reed Road, too.
In the pic: Grafton's E-waste recycling's expected to be similar to this one by the Village of Algonquin last year.

There really is no good reason that she cannot post on the official Grafton Township website. She wanted to have the YouTube video listing of all the board meetings there. To my knowledge, there has never been a discussion about this with the board as to pros and cons for doing so, so that is originally why she started her own. What her reason for starting the second site under her name is I don't know, because anything that I have seen on it could just as easily be put on the original site.
