After donating $5 million to support college scholarships for Dreamers and undocumented students, and a prospective $120 million donation to Bay area schools, CEO and Founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerburg recently donated $250,000 for scholarships in technology.
The recent donation to Dev Boot Camp - a program that claims it "transforms beginners into full-stack web developers in 19 weeks" - will cover tuition for 20 underrepresented minority students pursuing a career in tech coding. Students must be California residents, interested in tech coding, and be African American/Black, Chicano/Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander, and/or a female. The application period will open April 18 and close May 2.
The announcement came just a day before the f8 Conference, which has a predominantly male developer audience. An even smaller percentage of the developers are ethnically-diverse. As of June 14, 84 percent of Facebook's company was male - 51 percent of which were Caucasian and 43 percent Asian. Only 3 percent were Hispanic and 1 percent was African American. Globally, Facebook is 32 percent female. Through the scholarships, Facebook hopes to "increase [the] diversity of its workforce to better represent their customer base."
Last year, Zuckerburg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced they would donate 99 percent of their Facebook shares - roughly $45 billion at the time - to philanthropic initiatives. By the end of last year, they had donated about $32 million to education reform, including underserved communities in the Bay Area, the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, the Centers for Disease Control Prevention to fight Ebola, and the Newark Public School System.
If you are a female, or student interested in technology or computer science, check out our many scholarships in addition to the Facebook F8 Scholarship.

Deciding what you want to major in (and potentially spend the rest of your life doing) isn't the easiest or quickest decision to make. Everyone has a different reason for choosing their career - whether it be monetary satisfaction, job flexibility, pure passion and interest, or the ability to advance and grow. Although you can change your major while in college, it still costs money to stay in school and earn your degree.
Based on a recently published list by OnlineDegrees.com and featured in USA Today News, the majors listed below were found to get the "most bank for your buck" – that's one reason to get a degree. This is based on average annual salary, projected job growth, programs offered, and average tuition costs*. The leading majors tend to be technology and business-related, followed by those in the STEM fields.
We don't want to just stop at a list of profitable majors - we want to help make your college education more affordable, so we've compiled a list of free scholarships which you can apply to, and hopefully win to help fund your higher education. Be sure to create a profile to get a full, comprehensive list of scholarships for which you may qualify.
The road to becoming a psychiatrist is long and narrow - consisting of science-heavy coursework and many years of schooling and training. But the payoff may well be worth it - the average annual salary is well above $79,000 for the majority of states and more than 59 schools offer programs in the field. The Gallagher Student Health Careers Scholarship Program awards stellar college students who are pursuing a health career with up to $7,500 per scholarship.
If you are African-American student pursuing psychiatry, or any medicine-related field, check out the CBCF General Mills Health Scholarship, which awards $2,000 for well-qualifying students who have a minimum 2.75 GPA. For related scholarships, be sure to look at psychology, science, and medical scholarships for an extensive list and details.
If you've dreamt of being the CEO of your own business and have the capacity and willingness to manage your own business venture, you may be an entrepreneur at heart. Peter Thiel has taken initiative to support those who think out of the box and are willing to take a risk - he established a $10,000 grant to support entrepreneur endeavors. The catch? You just have to drop out of school if you win the grant. If you're not yet ready to do that, there are other scholarships that will reward your entrepreneur dreams while in school, like the Social Entrepreneur Award worth $10,000 in seed grant for students at participating Washington member institutions. You'd be surprised that roughly 477 schools offer programs in this discipline and successful independents go on to make over $120,000 a year.
For some, working with their hands - whether it be on car engines, electrical circuits, or pipes - brings gratification and highlights skills that don't necessarily mirror traditional education. A large majority of the skills necessary to compete in the 21st-century global market requires vocational training. That is why organizations such as The Nexstar Legacy Foundation Management in Plumbing, HVAC, or Electrical offers scholarships to people who are pursuing the trades or intending to own and operate their own business. This includes electricians, who on average, make more than $55,000 annually and have access to over 468 programs. For more electrician scholarships or general vocational scholarships, click here.
Mechanical Engineering
Do you have what it takes to take an idea to the marketplace? To design a product not only for aesthetics but for functionality? You'd probably enjoy mechanical engineering. From the automotive to the aerospace, biotechnology, energy conversion, and manufacturing industry, mechanical engineers are crucial in their ability to analyze and create/design objects and systems with motion. With over 350 available programs, mechanical engineers make an average salary of over $99,000. If you're ready to get into gear and study mechanical engineering, check out the SSPI Scholarship program or the Nexstar Legacy Foundation Management in Plumbing, HVAC or Electrical Scholarships.
Accounting, Finance, & Math
Even though your classmates may have preferred classes like gym, art, English or humanities, you may not mind formulas, equations, and calculators. In fact, you may very well think best in numbers. For math whizzes, not only are there bountiful job opportunities, but salaries can climb up into the six digits (even non-math geniuses know that's a lot). Organizations like AFWA seek to award students who are pursuing an accounting or finance degree. Though the two disciplines are separate entities, they often share similar job positions and skill sets that are math-based.
Exclusively for accounting majors who plan on becoming CPAs is the AICPA Accountemps Student Scholarship - worth up to $10,000. If you're a graduate student in finance and plan on working in local or state government finance, you may qualify for the Government Finance Professional Development Scholarship. And there are of course scholarships for minority undergraduates who have that same endeavor to work in state and local government finance, through the Minorities in Government Finance Scholarship. If you love math in general and haven't decided a set career path, check out the Exxonmobil Bernard Harris Math and Science Scholarships or the Women in Engineering and Design Book Scholarship.
One of the most honorable, and demanding jobs to have is that of an educator, as they are responsible for cultivating, nourishing, and educating the minds of our society's youth. There are however, certain disciplines in teaching that get paid more than others, and those are in biology, social science, and science. If you attend a Christian college and are planning to study primary or secondary education, you may qualify for the Herman and Katherine Peters Foundation Scholarship. Teachers have certain benefits as well, such as for retirement, medical/dental care, etc., and there are also grants like the Illinois Special Education Teacher Tuition Waiver Program for those pursuing a career in special education, that exempts students from paying tuition and mandatory fees for up to four years. There are other scholarships reserved for minority students such as the Leon Bradley Scholarship Program. For a complete list of education scholarships and grants, click here.
Radiologic Sciences
Some things are just too difficult to see with the naked eye, so technology allows us to have a better view from a different perspective using medical imaging techniques, such as x-rays, CT, MRI, PET, and ultrasound. Radiologists are specialized in analyzing and interpreting medical injuries through these images, as well as knowing radiation safety and protection. The average annual salary in radiologic technologies is approximately $84,700 with over 346 programs offered. The Carle Auxiliary Scholarship awards students who are pursuing radiologic sciences or other health-care disciplines. For other health-care scholarships, visit here.
There's more to economics than math. People in economics-related fields study how people use their resources - from land to labor, investments, taxes, production, government spending, etc. They seek to understand and measure how these affect well-being. There are various specializations in economics but in general, the average salary for economists is $93,088. The NSHSS Business, Economics, & Public Policy Scholarship awards outstanding students looking to positively impact the 21st-century global economy. If you already have a BA in economics and are seeking a Master's degree - and also at least 50 percent Asian - you may qualify for the Hsiao Memorial Economics Scholarship. For more economics scholarships, check out this list.
(Geo)environmental Science & Engineering
While majors such as business and technology have remained in the top ranks for the best potential return on college investments, geotechnical engineering is one of the up and coming fields. It is a branch of engineering that focuses on geologic and geosynthetic materials for issues related to human health and the environment. The average salary is $108,433, but is not offered at many colleges. If you want to apply for scholarships based on this interest, check out scholarships that require study in civil engineering, and environmental science or engineering. Also, check out the AREMA Committee 5 - Track Scholarship or the Nexstar Legacy Foundation Technicians in Plumbing, HVAC, or Electrical Scholarships.
Political Science
Our social landscape - our schools, communities, and workplaces - as well as economic structure (and much of everything we deal with daily) is affected by politics. You don't have to be a senator or the President with a political science major. People who wish to make a difference in their communities through the political system - whether through being an urban policy planner or lobbyist - seek degrees in political science, and are compensated fairly well (an average of $98,000/year). Scholarships for political science majors tend to include other disciplines such as history, government, or economics, like the Enid Hall Griswold Memorial Scholarship and the Aziz Jamaluddin Scholarship. For a full list of political science scholarships, visit here.
Information Systems
Just like geoenvironmental science, information systems is a major that has recently gained much popularity and demand. Along with business majors, it ranks one of the most profitable majors. In fact, the U.S. Department of Commerce claims that the most highly sought out graduates are those who have both business and computing skills - after all, Information Systems is a business degree with the application of information technology (IT). To support women in the field, the Kris Paper Legacy Scholarship for Women in Technology provides financial aid to a graduating female high school senior or returning female college student who is pursuing study in a tech-related field. Or if you are a current undergraduate student with an IS major, you may qualify for the CITE Current Student Tuition Scholarship. For more information systems scholarships, visit our technology scholarships.
Business majors, whether in commerce, administration, or management, have ranked amongst the top best-paying majors for quite some time, and still remain in high standing. Business degrees can be applied to virtually any industry, so to view business scholarships based on specific industries, check out our full list here. Reported average salaries are around $102,000 a year and are offered at more than 1,000 schools. Whether you are a female, someone with dependent children, a minority student, or a current college student, you have many scholarship opportunities from which to choose. Make it your first order of business to check out these scholarships and apply.*Note: Average annual salaries and the number of schools that offer degree programs were computed by the National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Not Your Usual Scholarships
Mar 10, 2016
by Susan Dutca
Do you ever feel like your unique, even weird and unusual talents and interests go unnoticed? Although academic, athletic, and merit-based scholarships are some of the most prevalent and abundant scholarships out there, there are colleges, universities, and organizations dedicated to rewarding quirky scholarships. The pool of students who have these attributes or skills is smaller than others, which means if you qualify, you have higher chances at winning the scholarship. Whereas academic and merit-based scholarships may require a certain GPA or class rank, these scholarships have unique eligibility requirements. Check out our list of unique, weird, and unusual scholarships below and see if you qualify by creating a profile:
Scholarships Calling Out your Name
There are few times in life where you can earn cash for your last name. If you happen to be a Catholic with the last name Zolp, you qualify for a scholarship from Loyola University Chicago. If you're one of the bright students planning to attend Harvard and have the last name Thayer, Downer, Bright, Hudson, or Baxendale, you may qualify for one of their named-based scholarships. Do you happen to have the last name Leavenworth and are currently or plan to attend Hamilton College? You may qualify for their Leavenworth Scholarship. Lastly, if you have the last name Gatlin or Gatling and plan to attend North Carolina State University, you may be eligible to win $60,000 in scholarships throughout your college career.
Creativity is Intelligence Having Fun
While there are plenty of scholarships looking for students interested in STEM fields, some students are more creative than those interested in STEM fields. Whether you love to write creative stories or poetry, there are prestigious organizations such as the National Student Poets Program that offer scholarships to bright young poets. If you have a knack for writing short stories or novelettes of science fiction or fantasy, Writers of the Future Contest, sponsored by the founder of Scientology, awards $5,000 to the top writer.
Body-Rewarding Scholarships
Being left-handed has more benefits than you think. For example, left-handed students attending or planning to attend Juniata College qualify for a special scholarship only for lefties. The scholarship was founded by a left-handed alumni tennis duo. Gingers deserve some love too. The Scholarship for Redheads offers a scholarship just for redheaded beauties. And since people come in different shapes and sizes, there are specific scholarships for tall and short people.
Get Paid to Play
Your parents may have told you that video games is a mind-numbing activity that will never help you with your education. Columbia College thinks differently. Their program awards skilled League of Legends players and recruit two teams of five players - they expect to participate in the Collegiate Star League (CSL) in the near future, which has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships to collegiate champions. Similarly, New York University offers scholarships to students who study game design and show active participation in the fighting game community.
Students Got (Weird) Talent
Being bi-lingual, tri-lingual, or multi-lingual is always a plus on a scholarship application. Being able to call ducks can be worth $2,000. The Chick & Sophie Major Memorial Scholarship Duck Calling Contest awards high school students who have duck-calling capabilities. You have 90 seconds to use four calls: hail, feed, comeback, and mating. Put your quack to good use and apply for the scholarship.
Objects Matter, too
If you have a sweet tooth or general love for candy, the National Candy Technologists offer up to $5,000 for those pursuing a study in culinary science, food science, chemical science, or a related area. Or perhaps you have a knowledge of fire sprinklers or a knack for creating attire completely out of duct tape. Even if you are one of the few people interested in vacuum coating technology, there is a scholarship worth up to $10,000. Look to your unusual talents, skills, or interests for extra scholarship money, because there is bound to be an organization out there to reward you for being you.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Will Declining Lotto Sales Impact Scholarships?
Mar 3, 2016
by Susan Dutca
Tuition assistance from scholarships may be cut as much as 30 percent by fall 2017 for tens of thousands of New Mexico students. Proceeds from lotteries, including the January $1.6 billion Powerball, are not able to keep pace with higher education cost increases.
Ticket sales are down, college tuition costs are up, and state budgets are tight. As a result, lawmakers in eight states are considering cutting lottery-funded scholarship programs. New Mexico has one of the best lottery-based scholarships in the country, helping roughly 90 percent of all first-year, full-time students with full-tuition aid. According to an associate VP at the University of Mexico, students who normally qualify for such aid would have to pay nearly $1,700 out of pocket annually if the budget cut takes place, which will most likely necessitate taking out more in student loans. According to the Department of Education, only 60 percent of students would receive full-tuition benefits, instead of the current 90 percent./HTMLCHUNK_29/
According to Susan Montoya Bryan, one reason New Mexico ticket sales have started to decline is that millennials tend to not buy lottery tickets; most likely because they opt to pay for gas at the pump instead of going into the convenience store. In several attempts to close the gap, New Mexico lawmakers have tried measures such as a "one-time appropriation to prop up scholarships and shifting $19 million in liquor tax revenue," moving unclaimed prize money to the lottery tuition fund, raising eligibility requirements to a 2.5 GPA, and having applicants complete at least 15 credit hours per semester at a four-year school.
Bryan reports that annual revenue from lotto ticket sales is about $40 million and tuition costs for eligible students are expected to surpass $65 million. Federal data already indicated that New Mexico has the highest student loan default rate. New Mexico is not the only state facing this financial dilemma. Tennessee tried a short-term goal by setting up an endowment to fund scholarships through interest and earnings. Georgia was the first to introduce lottery-based scholarships, nearly two decades ago, but had to make changes in 2011 which resulted in a 25 percent decrease of qualifying students. Republican state Rep. Jason Harper recommends that scholarships are used only after all financial aid is exhausted.
Lucky for you, we offer you tons of scholarship opportunities for which you may qualify that are not affected by the lottery system.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!

The Philippines will try its best to avoid war over disputed territories in the South China Sea although it does not discount the possibility of violent confrontation with other claimants such as China, President Benigno Aquino said Tuesday.
Citing the national policy against war that is spelled out in the Constitution, Aquino reiterated his country's call for a serious yet calm dialogue in addressing the issue to be able to reach a universally accepted solution. As one of such solutions, he said, the Philippines sought U.N. arbitration in January.
"We will try our best not to arrive at a violent situation because that would be contrary to our objective of having peace, stability and the opportunity to prosper among all of us involved in these territorial disputes," Aquino said.
The Philippines, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have overlapping claims over territories in the South China Sea, which is rich in marine resources and is also believed to contain large deposits of oil and natural gas.
Manila and Beijing have been particularly at odds with each other over the last two years due to counterallegations of intrusions in the area, which is also a major route of international commerce.
At an Asian security forum Tuesday in Brunei, Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario described Manila's decision to seek U.N. arbitration as one of the two complementary elements in Manila's rules-based approach in the management and resolution of disputes in the South China Sea, the other being a code of conduct between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China.
China, which the Philippines has accused of aggressively asserting its territorial claim, has rejected the move, sticking to its position of only dealing with the issue bilaterally.
Despite its renouncement of war, Aquino said the Philippines should be prepared for any military engagement, and therefore plans to grant its allies the United States and Japan greater access to Philippine military facilities in the future.
"If we don't coordinate with them (the United States and Japan) and create systems in case chaos erupts, I think that's a wrong preparation. It's like no preparation at all," Aquino said.
The Philippine leader clarified, however, that the planned greater access for its foreign allies is not tantamount to giving them permanent bases on Philippine soil.
In 1992, Manila voted not to renew a basing agreement with the United States, which led the U.S. Navy to withdraw from the country more than 20 years ago.
However, the government allowed U.S. troops to return to the country for training and exercise activities after inking the 1998 Visiting Forces Agreement.
Aquino said that allowing its foreign allies greater access in the country will provide the allies with "knowledge of our terrain," as well as "interoperability" on both forces.
"Of course, we can't practice (our interoperability skills) outside of our territory. It is but the natural circumstance. If you want a credible alliance, then you will have to have mutual training and that will normally occur within our territory or the allies' territory," he said.
Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said that the Philippines needs to collaborate with its allies like the United States and Japan and offer them greater access to Philippine facilities because the country cannot stand alone amid China's growing power.

29 Reviews for The Vue at Bellevue
Sort by:
Having lived here over three years now, we remain impressed by the friendliness and diligence of the property management office, the efficiency and responsiveness of the maintenance team, and the care given to the grounds in and around the complex.
I like my apartment. It is really nice, pretty, and fancy. It is clean. I like that it has sprinklers inside my apartment and a secured entry. I like having an attached garage too.
Excelent property care and maintenance. Very prompt service any time an issue comes up. The Vue seems to have an excelent management group over seeing the complex. They also make you feel welcome and has a strong family atmosphere.
The Apartments Are Really Roomy And I Feel Comfortable Living There.
The staff are great, if any problems in the apartment management makes sure it's taken care of right away and the complex is very clean
What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
General Directions
Go south on Highway 75 from Omaha and take the Highway 370- Bellevue Exit. Go right (west) on Highway 370 to the first traffic light at Golden Boulevard and take a left. The Vue is located on the left.

Luna Community College students crossed the stage Saturday morning to celebrate their 2008 commencement.
About 700 audience members cheered on the 141 graduates who walked the line, with 73 members of the class graduating in absentia.
The Rev. John C. Brasher of Our Lady of Sorrows gave the invocation.
"We ask health for the graduateseeso that they themselves can always serve you faithfully in their chosen fields," Brasher said. "May they prosper with the work of their hands all the days of their lives."
Interim Luna President Sigfredo Maestas welcomed the graduates and audience, as well as made introductions for the Board of Trustees and President-select Pete Campos. Campos gave a pre-inaugural address.
"It's all about professional persistence," Campos told the graduates. "Succeed and fail, succeed and faileefailures are necessary — they're life experiences. Take them and use them."
New Mexico Health Secretary Alfredo Vigil offered words of advice as the commencement speaker. Vigil is a graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and a professor of family medicine.
"A lot of the graduates are younger, which is wonderful because you see the future in their faces," he said.
Vigil spoke about his first jobs and previous patients and how those experiences have shaped his life. He also talked about education and its importance.
"As you know, Las Vegas has been a center for academic excellence in northern New Mexico for many, many years," Vigil said. "Many of our leaders were educated right here in Las Vegas."
Student achievement was recognized after the commencement address. Vidal Martinez, vice president of academics, presented Crystle Chavarria and Phillip Romero with medals for outstanding academic achievement with a Phi Theta Kappa All-USA award and scholarship. Chavarria received her degree in nursing summa cum laude with a 4.0 grade point average, while Romero received his degree in criminal justice with a 3.8 GPA, also summa cum laude.
Students of the semester were also recognized. William Wilson and Pamela Romero were selected as the fall 2007 and spring 2008 students of the semester. Wilson received his degree in liberal arts with a 4.0 GPA. Romero received her degrees in electronics engineering technology and manufacturing technology with a 3.85 GPA.

When a Hero picks up gems or coins or other "collectibles" that add to his wealth in a game, what are those things (gems and coins etc) commonly called and how are they generally referred to in game design terminology?
closed as primarily opinion-based by Alexandre Vaillancourt, MAnd, Philipp, Lars Viklund, congusbongus Feb 18 at 3:08
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You should distinguish from a heirarchical set of terms.
Loot is the overarching term from anything you would retrieve from a body or a reward for doing a exploration task (like the chest at the bottom of a dungeon). Sometimes quest rewards fall into this definition but are usually different.
A sub-category of loot is Currency. Currency is anything that you can spend to acquire something else, but are generally not useful on their own. One classic currency are Justice Points in WoW, which evolved out of Badge of Justice, looted from dead bosses in heroic dungeons. Some currencies are tradable, others are not.
A sub-category of currency is Money. Money is, specifically, something you can use to trade with other players or the game to acquire goods. Not all currencies are money, as illustrated above. If it isn't tradable to other players, it probably isn't money. Inherently, money exists as a medium of exchange in a market, allowing market prices to dominate. Thus, if the prices are set, even if it's called gold, it's more likely to be considered generic "currency" than it is money.
I would typically refer to them, as you said, as collectibles. You could also refer to them as tokens, but that may be confused with additional tries.
Collectibles might also refer to other things as well, such as items in an rpg or even overarching level goals. To refer specifically to the type of collectible that's picked up in a level and usually gives something special at 100, you could try referring to them as coins, typically from Mario, but that could get people confused if they're not actually coins. Another term is goodies, but that could be considered too vague, as well.
I would refer to them as currency. You've said yourself it represents wealth. If these are not actual "collectibles" in the sense of a trophy/etc unique item, and especially if they can be bartered for items and the like within the game, currency makes the most sense to me. It works for gems, it works for coins, it works for seashells, it works for bottlecaps... all of the above can be used as currency in the appropriate games :)
Game design is not a rigorous field when it comes to terminology. What we use in the field is more of an ad hoc vernacular than anything else. Often existing English terms capture our use cases just fine, so that's all we use.
This is one of those cases. You'll find as many ways to describe these collectible items as you could probably think of. "Collectibles," "pick-ups," "rewards," "chits," "tokens," "currency," et cetera. While the terms may not vary much within one game, they will across many. The initial term will likely be coined based on the specifics of whatever the designer or designers want to convey about the purpose of the item in the game.
Hmm, I would personally say loot
It depends on what you plan on doing with them.
However I don't think there is a common way to name them across all game companies. You should use common sense and what works best for you and your team internally.
What's important though is that what the player sees is consistent across the board: don't use 'collectible' on a specific pane, and 'currency' on another, this would create confusion (you'll probably even end up giving it a specific name like 'Coin' and use only that term everywhere).
These are often referred to as resources, if they are something that can be used/spent to accomplish something, and they aren't just a single currency.

You can experience good skiing at Apache, you just have to be selective when you go. Because of it's southerly location and recent lack of good snowfall, skiing is seldom good before the end of January. We last visited aound the Christmas holidays, and only the lower runs were open. Because of the crowds and slow lift lines, my sons and I quit early - the short runs were not worth the wait. Poor management of lft operations added to the problem.
Besides the weather, Apache suffers from its location - it gets a lot of beginners from Texas and Mexico that have problems getting on and off the lifts. One solution would be more/better trained lift operators. Discouraging beginners from the upper part of the mountain would make things better. Management also needs to ensure that all available lifts are operating when there is sufficient snow.
If you go, avoid holidays and Spring Break - weekdays are the best bet. Given past weather patterns, the upper runs may not be open until late January. Instead of relying on Apache's snow report, check with the ski shops in Ruidoso. To save time on the mountain, rent your equipment from one of those shops. Oh, and pack a lunch to save money and time.

Beat eggs and sugar. Add cooled melted butter or margarine, and vanilla and anise. Sift flour ad baking powder and add to egg mixture. Batter will be stiff enough to be dropped by spoon.

ms_snuggles50 7y agoOnly Problem with this recipe it is incomplete. If you don't know what pizzelles are you won't know how to cook them since there is no cooking instructions. You need a pizzelle iron or maker. And it is very expensive to make.

Rusty 12y agoI used this recipe and it was great. I did omit the anise and used lemon flavoring instead. they turned out yummy.

Hi there fellow WordPressers...
I've had this problem with thumbnails for months and just about getting there, here's my site (using the theme Autofocus, heavily modified).
I'm using TDO Mini Forms to allow users to submit posts, which I then would like a thumbnail generated on the homepage. I've been through every thumbnail plugin known to man and most of them seem to be stretching my thumbs on the homepage even WordPresses in built thumb feature is stretching them too. At the moment I'm using the plugin 'Ordered Thumbnails'.
Is this something to do with the theme, and am I missing something totally stupid. I've set my thumbnails size in the media settings to 250 wide x 170 height, I've also tried endless other combinations.

Video: The importance of dry fire practice
In this video tactical tip, Tori Nonaka — the youngest member of Team Glock — offers a quick reminder about the value of dry fire firearms training. Even tough the purchase of certain inert training tools such as those available from vendors like Glock may require an up-front investment, those devices become invaluable when incorporated into quality training — training which can then be conducted without incurring additional costs for ammunition.

Love this product, I have allergies to most of the air freshening products, as they smell floral scented, this stuff not only smells amazing but it doesn't bother my allergies either and it's very affordably priced at Walmart. Wish that all companies would make more scented products with pleasant food scents vs floral so that those of us with allergies wouldn't have as many issues. Thank you Febreeze for leading the way here :)
I love this product. It does what it is supposed to do. I use it everyday and it gives my sheets a sweet, fresh smell! Spray bottle is pretty effective too. Highly recommend!
I love this scent from Gain, even better to come in fabreeze
I spray Febreze on our furniture on our pillows and lightly on the carpet after vacuuming it gives the whole house a nice fresh scent that is not overpowering.,
I have used febreze products for a long time. The Apple Mango Tango scent is hand's down the best scent I've ever used, including other brands. I hope they don't take this scent off the market. The only suggestion i would make would be for a tighter top to the bottle because like others who have commented, the top has come off and i have lost over a half bottle of product in the past. Other than that its a super product. I use it everwhere, beds, carpets, cloths closets, pillows, shoes, trash containers. The combination of febreze with gain idea is fantastic. I use the Gain detergent and fabric softener so what a great idea!
I used febreeze when it came out and liked it. I loved the smell of gains apple mango tango detergent and when you fused them together. Well I stopped using regular febreeze and traded it in for Gain apple mango tango febreeze. I use it on a regular basis and it takes care of any odor or even just to freshen things up. My husband likes the smell as do my two dogs. Thank you febreeze for making my home smell better everyday!!!
i love the gain apple mango tango but i can not find it anywhere anymore and i am very upset i use it for everything my bedding for my car and now i cant find it please let me know where i can get it
This product works as it claims it refreshes fabrics, i love it for those things you just cant fit in the washer, and it smells awesome.
I really like the product for a quick refresh. But recently purchased a new bottle and it leaks constantly on my hands, arm and fabrics.
i have been using your freshners for many years always waiting for new scents
I've used Febreze products for many years, especially their air and fabric fresheners, and this scent seemed interesting. My cat and I have a small home, and of course, I like something I can use around her. This fills the bill, and no one can beat the price for this size bottle! I use it on the couch, my bed, the carpets---even fabric pictures I have! I'm happy...and so is my cat!
There are so many items that we can not find at our local Walmart store, luckily we can order most of them online and receive the shipping for free. It saves us time and space in our vehicle for other business purchases.
This one is my favorite scent that febreze comes in. I can't always find it locally so when that happens, I can always count on walmarts online to have it.
This smells so great that when my family gets home for the day. They all think I did laundry all day!
I love Febreze and the Gain scent. The Apple Mango Tango is a nice variation to the original.
nice tropical scent
Smells amazing!

I used this recipe as a starting point for my own modified version. I used less butter and added half&half as well as some white wine & mixed in about 1/3 cup parmesan cheese. My 4-year old had 3 helpings!
This is a good recipe....lots of clams--yum! The only thing is that I think it is too oily with the 1/3 cup olive oil in addition to the butter. I did actually add some clam juice to the sauce. I will make this again, but next time I will omit the olive oil and replace it with clam juice and milk.

Much better then I expected. Gross margins up as were in house brand growth. We can build off of these numbers.
Question is, why did the CFO depart after just being hired?
If you are so negative LBIX then dump out and take it like
a man.
Things are turning positive and people holding short positions just don't like that, do they Bullwinkle?
LOL...we're arguing about how great Ralph is as the stock sits near a 52 week low...maybe even a two year low..... that tells the story.....
It's not that far above the all time company low...... Way to go Ralph, keep being a Sales Person and not a leader!!
Fizz doesn't have growth, JSDA didn't execute, LBIX has growth and doesn't execute...the stock is down 75% the markets are down 11%....not a comparison.
So what position do you hold within the company...obviously another insider who has no idea what they are doing or talking about....wonderful....
The company products and execution sell themselves. Ralph has nothing to sell right now...look at it head to a new 52 week low.
Why wasn't the CFO leaving the company put in a press release??? This is material information that shareholders had a right to know!!
Can you say class action lawsuit.
It is make or break...if the conference call is bad I may sell my shares.
In fact I do understand...I oversee 36 locations and it is my job to lead...not to be a sales person.
You obviously don't know what you're talking about (no offense). I don't even want to own a company's stock where a CEO's primary job is to be a sales man??? That is ridiculous. A CEO should be a leader, put a vision and plan together, hire the right sales people to execute the plan and continue on, expanding the vision.
The hasty departure--firing?--of the cfo is incredible. it's a real blow because the logical assumption is that he refused to compromise his integrity and sign off on the q report. Did he question the value of an asset, the categorization of an expense?
His departure throws into question the integrity of the books. That's as good a reason as any to avoid buying a stock, and a pretty good reason to sell it.
Or a good reason to ask on the cc.
The report isn't great but good enough at the stock price level. The key is why would anyone that held through the last 3 months sell on this report. I think the current price reflects the expectation of even lower brand growth and margins. The trend is slightly positve and we are heading into the warmer months.
I would like to see how Ralph spins that one.
