Polyketides from the Halotolerant Fungus Myrothecium sp. GS-17
AbstractTwo new polyketides, myrothecol (1) and 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-(1- hydroxylethyl)-furan-2(5H)-one (2), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the halotolerant fungus Myrothecium sp. GS-17 along with three known compounds, 5-hydroxyl-3-[(1S)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (3), 3,5-dimethyl-4- hydroxylmethyl-5-methoxyfuran-2(5H)-one (4), and 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-5- hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one (5). Compound 1 is the first natural occurring polyketide with a unique furylisobenzofuran skeleton. The structures of these compounds were established via extensive spectroscopic analyses including 1D-, 2D-NMR, HRESI-MS, and crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

know nothing about cars. They need to be told by someone or read some article on what car to buy. Every other word out of their mouth is review...review....review. While a person driving a real car brags about how good the car felt during a test drive.
Who cares? I own 5 Honda in my life time, one for the kid, one for the wife and one for me. My first one was a 1986 Acura, my second was 1999 Honda Accord, but it was totaled in the Accident and then I got this one. The reason? Not about performance, but fuel efficient and less time in the shop, that is all I care and so as for other owners. We don't need to know about cars to know the difference.
And yet you post on the tm board about hondas. Now your posts make sense. Guess it was a bad accident.

Israel is providing emergency aid to help the victims of flooding in Serbia and Bosnia.
Israel sent medicine, food, blankets and waterproof clothing by helicopter to the region this weekend after tens and thousands of people were forced to flee their homes.
A rabbi from Israel's leading strictly-Orthodox yeshivah has apologised for saying that Israel's government ministers deserve death.
Nissan Kaplan, a rabbi at the prestigious Mir Yeshivah, whose classes draw upwards of 200 students, said in a recent discourse on the weekly Torah portion that he not only advocates killing ministers, but also that he educates his children in this spirit.
In the weeks before the Chief Rabbi's mission to Israel, there was an undercurrent of carping about the cost and the purpose of taking 49 rabbbis to the Jewish state. Now that it has happened, it should be hailed as a great success that was clearly worth the special fundraising and energy it needed.
Two high-profile reports in Newsweek magazine on Israel's espionage campaign against its American allies are a sign that the relationship between the two countries has sunk to a new low point.
The reports quote former American intelligence officials and Congressional staffers who claim that Israel has "crossed red lines" in its attempts to obtain confidential information.
A motion calling on the National Union of Students to boycott Israeli goods was rejected on Tuesday by its National Executive Council, who warned it could lead to a "BDS agenda".
Chief Rabbi Efraim Mirvis has said that his mission to Israel this week, which involved 49 Orthodox rabbis from across Britain, was "not a four-day wonder — it is the beginning of a process, to learn more about Israel, to grapple with issues, to be better informed and better placed to engage with members of our communities".
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has been sentenced to six years in prison and fined over £170,000 for taking bribes and fraudulent activities while he was mayor of Jerusalem.

At an event celebrating his 75th birthday, Mr Oz said strong language should be used to describe extremist settlers who target Christian sites in so-called "price tag" attacks including vandalism, arson, graffiti, and even threats against leaders of other faiths.
Israeli anti-terrorism experts have joined the international effort to find the 223 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants in Nigeria.

AbstractSignificant efforts have been invested in the past years for the development of analytical methods for fast toxin detection in food and water. Immunochemical methods like ELISA, spectroscopy and chromatography are the most used in toxin detection. Different methods have been linked, e.g. liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS), in order to detect as low concentrations as possible. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is one of the new biophysical methods which enables rapid toxin detection. Moreover, this method was already included in portable sensors for on-site determinations. In this paper we describe some of the most common methods for toxin detection, with an emphasis on SPR.

Financial doom may loom for at least one O.C. city
By Tony Saavedra, Teri Sforza and Ronald Campbell
As San Bernardino limps toward bankruptcy, one Orange County city may not be far behind.
Stanton is just $8 million away from financial catastrophe. If costs continue unabated, city budget planners say Stanton will be broke in four years.
"It's easy math," said Terri Marsh, Stanton director of administrative services. "We have a deficit of $2 million a year and there's only $8 million (in reserves) left."
With Stockton and Mammoth Lakes filing bankruptcy within the last three weeks – and San Bernardino poised to do the same – California taxpayers are scrutinizing the bottom lines of their own cities.
The Register examined the latest audited statements for all 34 cities in Orange County to assess their overall fiscal health.
While most cities appeared in quite positive territory when their hard assets were in the mix – land, buildings, etc. – the cash cushions in their general funds ran the gamut.
- Two were in razor-thin territory, with reserves below 1 percent of annual expenses: Cypress and Placentia.
- One was below the 5 percent threshold considered a barebones cushion: Santa Ana.
- And Garden Grove and Costa Mesa were below 7 percent.
- About half of local cities had more than 50 percent reserves, including Laguna Niguel, Rancho Santa Margarita, Villa Park, Westminster, Seal Beach, Buena Park, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, La Palma, Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Westminster and Yorba Linda.
The Register found the financial clouds were darkest over Stanton.
Steep budget cuts over the last four years have left Stanton, population 38,000, a shell of a city.
Visitors to Hollenbeck Park will find it fenced off, because the city can no longer afford to water the grass. Children who once played in the sprinkler-like water attraction at Dotson Park will now find it dry. Over at Zuniga Park, volunteers are taking care of maintenance and paying for water.
The city recreation department has been virtually disbanded, with most after-school programs closed. Gone are the days when children nibbled on city-funded snacks at the park. Graffiti is staying up longer because the public works department has been whittled down to three.
At City Hall, staff has been cut to 23 people, who empty their own wastebaskets because the clean-up crew was let go. One employee stays late to vacuum the floors. A part-timer paid through a government program cleans the toilets.
[caption id="attachment_159005" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Water features that normally run during the summer at Harry M. Dotson Park, on Fern Street in the city of Stanton might be shut down under a plan by the city to cut its annual budget. //ADDITIONAL INFO: n.stantonbudgetcuts.0423 04/23/12 Ð Photo by MARK EADES, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER -- The city of Stanton is planning to possibly close three of its parks to save money on its annual budget."][/caption]
And Stanton can no longer afford membership in the League of California Cities.
In 2010, when council members were running unopposed, the city canceled the election to save $32,261.
"There's nothing else we can cut," Marsh said. "It's scary. If we laid off every single employee left, it still wouldn't close the gap."
Marsh said the city is paying for only the things it is legally required to provide.
She is predicting a slight uptick in the city's sales tax revenues, but nothing that will stop the bleeding unless more cuts are made.
Besides bankruptcy, the city could face becoming unincorporated, with governance turned over to the county Board of Supervisors.
Mayor Carol Warren is holding out hope that Stanton's finances will turn around.
"We've been in the news a lot but it's because we're addressing the budget issues that everyone's hearing about us," Warren said. "Every city is in trouble to some extent. Some are just starting to confront it, but we've been loud and noisy in trying to fix it all along. I don't know if that was wise, from a PR-standpoint – but we are going to have a balanced budget."
The city is focusing its budget knife as a last resort on police and fire spending – the biggest drag on the 2012-13 $16.4 million operating budget.
Police and fire amounts to 77 percent of the city's general fund. By contrast, the city of Vallejo's public safety spending hit 80 percent when it declared bankruptcy.
Stanton council members are trying to cut $1.3 million from a $8 million contract with the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff's officials have responded that they can only cut half that much. Council members now say they will seek police services from another agency if the sheriff's department doesn't comply.
With a slowly reviving economy, other cities seem to be receding from the abyss.
The city of Westminster, for example, had declared everything in its borders a redevelopment zone – so it was reeling in the wake of redevelopment's demise in January.
Faced with a $10.4 million deficit, the city is laying off about 70 employees, considering new taxes and outsourcing services. It is eating into its reserves to make ends meet in 2012-13 to the tune of nearly $4 million.
"We still have some bumps in the road to smooth out but, otherwise, the city is on stable ground," City Manager Mitch Waller wrote in an email. "Our City Council recently approved phase one of our Fiscal Stabilization Plan, which will reduce our deficit from $10.4 million to $3.7 million this fiscal year. All of our economic indicators are slowly starting to head in the right direction. Though we still have more to tackle, the lion's share has been addressed. "
About a year ago, Santa Ana looked like it was going down.
The city faced a projected $13.6 million deficit, with another shortfall of $30 million predicted for fiscal 2012-13. The city dissolved its fire department – outsourcing to the Orange County Fire Authority – at a savings of $8.7 million. Employee unions agreed to another $10.7 million in concessions and Santa Ana reduced its workforce by 582 positions over the last five years. The effort led to a $196.5 million budget that is balanced for the first time in years.
Anaheim, the county's largest city, adopted a balanced budget for the fiscal year that just ended, and plans to close out its books without the use of reserves. The 2012-13 budget was also built without the use of reserves, said spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz.
La Palma has long planned for a rainy day. It keeps its general fund cushion at 100 percent of expenses – a rarity, as the Government Finance Officers Association recommends 15 percent, said Michael Solorza, finance director. That practice dates back to 2004, though it wasn't formalized into policy until 2009.
"We are very fortunate to have been able to maintain such reserves, even during the worst recession in 70 years, which saw revenues drop," Solorza wrote in an email. "The 100 percent reserve level is a City Council priority and one of which they are happy to tout as a significant accomplishment."
Orange, too, was able to adopt a budget this year with a surplus – for the first time in four years, said Finance Director Richard Jacobs. The city has long been working towards that goal – and reached it a year earlier than planned.
And Brea added $13.5 million to its all funds balance in 2011 after covering all expenditures – "a comprehensive, healthy financial picture," said spokeswoman Cindy Ryan.
Any discussion on municipal bankruptcies should note that they are expensive and quite rare.
From 1986 through 2011, just 263 cities, counties and districts filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, the official U.S. Courts website reported Friday.
The vast majority have been small utility or hospital districts. Just a few – most notably Orange County in 1994 and Jefferson County, Alabama in 2011 – have involved billions of dollars.
Only four California cities have filed bankruptcy in the past 20 years. But two of them, Stockton and Mammoth Lakes, have done so in the last three weeks. And a fifth city, San Bernardino, is expected to file later this month or in August.
Despite the obvious advantages – bill collectors are silenced, labor unions are at least briefly stunned – municipal bankruptcy costs time and money. It also damages an agency's reputation among potential lenders for years.
Vallejo, which filed for protection in May 2008, finally emerged in November 2011. Councilwoman Stephanie Gomes said on her blog that legal bills reached $11 million.
Vallejo got off cheaply.
During its epic bankruptcy, Orange County paid nearly $87 million in legal and financial advisory fees, according to a 1996 tally by the Register. That came to $156,058 for each of the 555 days the county spent in bankruptcy court. And it didn't count money the county paid after emerging from bankruptcy for lawsuits against its onetime financial advisers.
Orange County is still paying off its 1994 bankruptcy. It floated a bond in 1996 to repay creditors. This year it is paying $43 million on that bond. The final payment will come due in 2018, county spokesman Howard Sutter said.

Multimedia applications with OpenML
Programming multimedia applications in Linux used to be a tedious process, demanding specialized libraries and even custom code for addressing hardware directly. The OpenML library offers a simpler approach.
Shortly after the millennium, a number of major league multimedia corporations joined forces to found the Khronos Group. 3Dlabs, ATI, Discreet, Intel, Nvidia, SGI, and Sun Microsystems all wanted to create a cross-platform multimedia library using the lean and successful OpenGL as a role model. Thanks to this standardized interface, programmers would be able to concentrate on their work rather than wasting time thinking about hardware and how to control it. Just a year later, specification 1.0 of the Open Media Library (or OpenML– not related or even good friends with OpenMP, a library for shared memory parallelism, or OpenAL, a library for sound output) was released. The whole enchilada was done – the interfaces, the internal functions – and the Khronos Group (see the "Khronos Group" box) stood back, celebrated, promised support at all kinds of conferences, and waited for something to happen. Developers all over the world now knew what the interface looked like, but there were no signs of a tangible implementation of the library, not to mention matching drivers or hardware.

Spas Warned of False, Misleading Claims About Fat-Melting Injections
FDA Cracks Down on Lipodissolve Hype
Buyer Beware
"This is a great day for patient safety. The FDA is sending a strong message," says Renato Saltz, MD, president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and a plastic surgeon in Salt Lake City.
Saltz tells WebMD that he has seen some bad complications in people who have tried the procedure.
The ASAPS is conducting a study of lipodissolve, the preliminary results of which are slated to be presented at the annual ASAPS meeting in Washington, D.C., later this month.
"At this point, there is no indication for this procedure based on what we know today," Saltz says. "We are working on the science and perhaps we will find some application for lipodissolve or mesotherapy in the future."
This issue highlighted by the new FDA warnings is part of a larger problem in cosmetic surgery, says Felmont F. Eaves III, MD, the ASAPS president-elect and a plastic surgeon in Charlotte, N.C.
"Right now, a lot of companies are pushing treatments with no data and no proof of safety, and devices approved by FDA are being used for other things. It's a Wild West out there," he tells WebMD. "Don't be lured by fancy marketing, have a big dose of skepticism when you see ads, and ask someone qualified what the real scoop is."

0Feb 27, '11 by hannahmaepunkI once had a preceptor at a psychiatric hospital here in the philippines. And we were so lucky to have a preceptor who doesn't have to say but "and you call yourself nurses", "can't you do your job for once", "think of the patient for crying out loud!", "how can you be a good nurse if you're doing that?". Very nice teaching skills which made my group think that psych nursing is a big no-no, and that psychiatric patients made our preceptor be that way. My favorite field of nursing, and got the worst experience.
And at one point we had a clinical instructor who always reminds us that "everything you do here, your license and my license is at stake!" literally everytime. Do you know what impact that did to us? And to top that off, she would accompany us, and i mean each and everyone of us, everytime we give an oral
Medicine while teaching us what to say to the patient, in front of the patient! Haha, get it? Even simple "omeprazoles" and "paracetamols" she doesn't trust us with.
With that said, i just hope
there are more professors who are comptetent enough to meet the needs of their trainees, not just professionally but also "emotionally".
0Mar 5, '11 by QTNewbieThank goodness for this article!!! I am into my third week of precepting, and the past couple of days have definitely had their moments. I don't have the worst preceptor in the world or anything, and I know its a tough task taking on a new nurse, but it's nice to hear that others have survived it feeling the same way I am!! I have no problem asking questions if I'm unsure about something, but my preceptor has her moments when she gets irritated and blows me off.. I've learned I have to wait and reapproach when she's in a better mood and has had a cigarette. I hate this because it makes me question myself and it rattles my confidence, and I often end up asking another nurse if they are available. I know that eventually I'll get through this (Lord be willing), and if I ever "precept" another nurse, I hope I can be as open and understanding as I'd want someone to be with me!
0Mar 5, '11 by learner1108I hear you. I had a preceptor who needed a cig every 3-4 hours. I could tell by how her mood changed. I used to be a smoker so I know what that feels like. It's not you she is frustrated with, it is the craving for nicotine causing her to want to finish so she can get out for a smoke. So she gets cross. Other smokers will validate this.
I will give you some tips. 1. There is a schedule she follows (might not be written), you write it out, ask her if it is right, then follow it as much as possible. 2. Make your own notes of what you do each shift for patients even if you stay after the shift to do it. Take it home and study it. Think about what you could have done differently. Tell your preceptor you are doing this. Beg her, if necessary, to go over the list with you and see what she thinks about your decisions. 3. If you forget to do something or make a mistake, tell her immediately and ask what you can do to fix it. Then do it. We all make mistakes. 4. If you think she acts really unprofessional - see your nurse manager and ask if this is behavior is usual with her or if you are doing something to cause it. 5. As hard as it seems to do because after a difficult shift you may be feeling worthless as a possible nurse, ask her to spend time with you to tell you what you did well and what you are still having trouble with. Write down what she says. Tell her this is a list you will work on improving. 5. No matter how cold she seems during the shift, keep asking her questions. Your patients need the answers. 6. Get in touch with some of your classmates and find out how they feel. It will make you feel better if you find that others are feeling like you.
Hope you can use some of these. You are good. You learned the information you need. Your patients need you. Don't get down on yourself. Good luck.
0Apr 7, '12 by yeng_27Quote from finlyoneI can very much relate to what you have experienced and I am experiencing it right now and I feel like quitting because its kind of depressing me the way my preceptor humiliates me in front of her co staffI had a terrible preceptor also Our school held clinical there and she was a nurse on the floor. She was assigned to do my precepting later. She told me right away before I started that my school didn't teach you anything and her nursing school prepared their students to start on the floor right away with no problem. I knew right away she was going to be trouble. She told me every issue each nurse on the floor had and had nothing good to say about them so I knew when my backed was turned....she was talking about me. If I asked her to show me something she grunted. She handed me my patients papers after report and sent me on my way. If I had a question, or needed to clarify she was very rude. Once I said " I have pushed meds with a Picc line before but maybe you could come with me", she floped her papers down and looked at another nurse as if I was stupid. At lunch time she involved other nurses in discussions and you could tell they were being manipulated into saying things they were not comfortable with. If I see her again now that I am an RN I will let her know how unprofessional her actions were and what a terrible nurse she is for putting her patients at risk just to watch a preceptee squirm.
0Apr 8, '12 by jcgrundThank you for the great article. I am currently going through a preceptorship, and all I hear or read are horror stories. My experience so far has been nothing but pleasant. Maybe I'm just lucky, but so far everyone I have worked with has been patient, kind, and accepting.
2Apr 9, '12 by Ruby Vee, BSN, RNQuote from jcgrundi honestly believe that you find what you're looking for, or to put it another way, you elicit the responses you get. so if you go around looking for the mean, bitter preceptor who eats her young, you're going to find that. even if that's the same preceptor that someone else thought was patient, kind and accepting. so kudos for you -- you're eliciting good responses!thank you for the great article. i am currently going through a preceptorship, and all i hear or read are horror stories. my experience so far has been nothing but pleasant. maybe i'm just lucky, but so far everyone i have worked with has been patient, kind, and accepting.
0Apr 9, '12 by edrnbaileyThank You Ruby!!!! I have been the preceptor and the oriented and witnessed the good and bad of both. I am even guilty of not being the best preceptor and difficult orientee in my career. What I have learned is all nurses are people and all people are different. The nurse the "catches on" the quickest or is over eager my not be the "best" nurse. Sometimes those that start slowly but keep going end up being the greatest nurses and future assets to their department, co-workers, and patients!
1Sep 18, '12 by alodociosWhat an incredible post. I wish it was appropriate to give a copy of it to my preceptor when i get one, as a "please don't eat me, just understand that i am a rookie" plea,but I know it is not! I am currently looking for my first RN position and exposing my weak points to a seasoned nurse scares me witless because i am a perfectionist who knows that no one is perfect. I am very hard on myself and am hoping to get a preceptor who recognizes my effort and is there for me technically as well as holistically. I am very honest and know that the only way to get the most out my precepting experience is to be transparent. I want to learn to be a competent, confident nurse, without being torn down in the process. Are you available to come to CT Ruby?LOL!!! no really?

North Liberty Leader
MOUNT PLEASANT– A great season got even better Friday, Oct. 3, as the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers sailed into Mount Pleasant and shelled the Panthers 44-6 in Class 3A District No. 5 varsity action.
The Clippers put up 468 yards of offense to 210 for Mount Pleasant. Tanner Bandy was in full attack mode for CCA with 240 yards and four touchdowns, three rushing and one from returning an interception 60 yards in the fourth quarter.
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– West High held its Cross Country Invitational Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the University of Iowa's Ashton Cross Country Course. Both the varsity boys and girls were second in team points with Johnston taking the girls' race with 44 team points and a total time of 1:12:37.30.

North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– The University of Iowa's Ashton Cross Country Course was the site for the 2014 Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Invitational meet Monday, Sept. 29.
Vinton-Shellsburg won the girls varsity race with 15 team points while the Clippers were fourth with 70. In varsity boys action, it was also Vinton-Shellsburg taking the team title, with 24 points. The Clipper crew was third with 48.
Chloe Keith set the pace for the Clipper girls with an 11th-place finish in 17:34.84 while Eric Douglass was the leader for the boys, finishing third in 17:05.81.
NORTH LIBERTY– Even little fish in a big pond can make a huge splash, when kids are involved.
NORTH LIBERTY– The City Council does not often deviate from staff recommendations.
But last week, they did just that in approving the preliminary plat for a new residential development that will contain a cul-de-sac street.
Property owner Tor Niklaus has proposed the construction of Liberty Farm, a 24-lot residential subdivision located along the east side of Highway 965 near its intersection with Pheasant Lane. The North Liberty city staff, including City Planner Dean Wheatley, recommended a condition to the plat's approval.
TIFFIN– A reflection of the city's rapid growth, the Tiffin City Council was bombarded with development issues at last week's meeting.
It took nearly four hours to address them all.
Wastewater plant
OXFORD– Walls are going up now, and by next year, other walls may be coming down.
Clear Creek Amana (CCA) community school district's construction manager Ray Willoughby delivered the monthly building projects report to the board of directors at its regular meeting Thursday, Sept. 18. Work is progressing at the new elementary school on the east side of Tiffin, with floor slabs in place and walls erected.
NORTH LIBERTY– The City of North Liberty is launching a program to help its residents divert food waste from the landfill.
The city and Johnson County Refuse are piloting the program for the next month with a small number of households and will expand the program in mid-October.
Participants will pay a refundable deposit for a curbside collection bin, which they'll need to line with a yard waste bag, available for $1.65 at a variety of stores in North Liberty. The compost will be collected with their recycling and trash each week.
TIFFIN– There have been a lot of reasons to smile so far this varsity football season at Clear Creek Amana. Decimating the Keokuk Chiefs 52-7 Friday, Sept. 26, for the Homecoming game is one of them.
"That was a good one," coach Matt Hughes said after the game. "It was just another team effort, these guys are just catching fire at the right time and each week they're getting better and better just doing our base offense. We're not doing anything crazy, just our base offense and just trying to get a little more aggressive week in and week out."
It worked.
TIFFIN– The Marion Indians came into a WaMaC volleyball match-up Tuesday, Sept. 23, with the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers ranked third in Class 4A by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Association.

Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey says a suspect in a 20-year-old Grand Junction slaying has been arrested in Mexico.
Hilkey says 59-year-old Rafael "Shorty" Garcia Aguilar was arrested Thursday, April 30 in Colima, Mexico for the 1989 shooting death of Charles "Chuck" Porter in Palisade.
Porter was murdered July 4, 1989 at 3680 F Road in Palisade. Officials say Aguilar, a Mexican national, will stand trial there. The Attorney General's Foreign Prosecutions Unit located Aguilar after Mesa County authorities asked state officials to review the case.
Mexican law allows its citizens to be prosecuted in their home country on allegations from other countries. It's not yet known what charges Aguilar faces.
Hilkey says the unique circumstances of Aguilar's arrest will be the topic of a press conference Tuesday at 11 a.m. District Attorney Pete Hautzinger and coordinator of the Office of the Attorney General's Foreign Prosecution Unit LuzMaria Shearer will join Hilkey. Mesa County Sheriff Department Investigator Lissah Norcross also worked on the case.
11 News will bring you the latest information on this case as it becomes available.

April 9...Happy Chinese Almond Cookie Day!
Over a year ago
I'm not sure why today is the date to celebrate Chinese Almond Cookies but I love them! And I like to think they're good luck too…
"Some say the Chinese almond cookie is adapted from the Chinese walnut cookie, a plain cookie with a walnut in the center, which was thought to bring good luck. Also called an almond biscuit or almond cake, today it is found in bakeries in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China, as well as Chinatowns in cities worldwide."
(Source: The Nibble)
They're easy and yumful and full of almond goodness. 🙂
Vegan Chinese Almond Cookies
From Cham at Spice Club
Vegetable shortening
Almond extract
Almond meal
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
To decorate the cookie:
Blanched whole almonds
Sesame seeds
The recipe includes directions on blanching almonds if you can't find them pre-blanched. Read on here…Vegan Chinese Almond Cookies
According to the Rules of the Interwebs, you shouldn't post someone else's entire recipe, only part of it with a link to the rest, unless you've changed the recipe up bigtime.
Simple variations…

Let me begin this post by offering an apology to priestly readers for using a rather provocative headline. It is not my intention to question whether you are doing your job in general. Nobody likes that kind of question, and I don't mean to put you on the spot in that way.
I do, however, need a strong headline of some sort to call attention to a particular task that many priests, at least in recent years, have not been very good at.
The priestly readers of the Register are almost certainly above average on this point, but we all—priests and laity alike—are called to continual conversion, to an ongoing improvement of how well we are serving Christ, and periodic self-assessments are...READ MORE

The service is poor and has frequent downtime. The owner, Jeffrey McCommas says that 'Level Ten Web Hosting' has a 100% up-time guarantee, but this is a complete lie.
I made my expectations clear before I purchased the service, and I was reassured that the servers were reasonably fast, and the site would have 99% hardware uptime and 100% network uptime.
This quote is taken directly from the site: "100% network uptime guarantee, 99.9% hardware uptime guarantee"
I was forced to purchase 1 year of service in advance, and noticed once I had my site installed, the services were down more than 50% of the time, if not the majority of the time.
I complained and all I got were excuses.
I made the purchase with the understanding that I could cancel at any time within the first 30 days.
Quote (taken directly from the site):
"Try us out at No Risk and see how a fast, reliable..."
The "No Risk" part is a lie. When I asked to cancel, I was told that since I had access to some CRE loaded scripts on my site (which I did not want, or care to have anyway), he told me I could not have my money back.
When I complained about the poor service I was getting, Jeffrey McCommas told me I was incompetent and didn't know how to use the internet. Excuse me, but how can you incompetently load a browser page? He made no attempts to correct the issue, and simply continued personal attacks against me if I complained about his service. I've used many, many other hosts, and this is the worst experience I have ever had.
The connectivity even when the site is up is slow, with the FTP most of the time I would lose my connection while uploading even small files. The upload & download speed were ridiculously bad.
Don't buy from "Level Ten Web Hosting", it's a rip off--as I already mentioned, Jeffrey McCommas refused to give my money back, even though his site guaranteed a 30 day risk free trial. He's rude, he gives poor service and his servers are so slow, you wont be able to connect to your own site more than 50% of the time.
I'm guessing his business is a basement operation where he's hosting his servers in a house, without the proper connectivity or environment. He's overloading his servers with hundreds of shared plans, resulting in frequent down times, sluggish server speeds, and frequent outages.
I had a horrible experience with this company & I would not recommend them to anyone.
If he had simply refunded my money AS PROMISED BY HIS SITE I would not have filed this rip-off report. I would just forget this and move on, but my conscience wont allow me to let him rip off other innocent customers trying to find decent, honest webhosting.

We at Level Ten Hosting (leveltenhosting.com) take pride in delivering 100% complete satisfaction to our hosting customers.
However, a small percentage of our clients cannot be satisfied no matter how hard and willing we are to accomodate there demands.
With this particular client, he was unable to differentiate a hosting provider from there own personal web designer.
In this case the client basically did not have enough skills and knowledge to operate an ecommerce website and was continuously uploading bad code to his website and the results were breaking his cart and functionality.
We offered advise on what to do to fix the problem but he just demanded it was the hosting companies fault and not his.
We exhausted every resource available including having us fix the problems for a fee involved for our labor to fix his problems. This customer refused to pay for the help which is not included in any of our hosting packages for free.
The result of this customers lack of skills to operate a website is the ridiculous complaint he files against us.
In summary, Level Ten Hosting specializes in Small Business eCommerce Hosting and we offer several low priced hosting packages and shopping cart applications.
We have technicians and programmers available to add different functionality to your store but just like every other web designer, there is s fee for this, or you can use our extensive knowledge base on frequently asked questions that solve almost all of the common questions that may arise.

Sauk Rapids Teen Faces Attempted Murder and Manslaughter Charges in Colton Gleason Death
17-year-old Jesse Jean Smithers of Sauk Rapids has been charged with one count of second degree murder, one count first degree manslaughter and one count of first degree assault in Stearns County District Court Tuesday in the death of 20-year-old Colton Gleason. Smithers was arraigned before Judge Frank Kundrat who ordered that he remain in custody without bail pending further court proceedings.
The Stearns County Attorney's Office also filed a motion to certify Smithers to be charged as an adult. The Stearns County Attorney's Office based on the investigation says that Smithers was a passenger inside the vehicle that was driving through the alley late last Thursday night on the city's south side where Gleason and two people were walking. According to the attorney's office, Smithers told the driver to stop the car, he got out of the vehicle and approached the group and struck Gleason in the head with a closed fist. The report says after the victim dropped to the ground, Smithers got back into the vehicle and told others he had "punched the guy".
Gleason died Friday night at the St. Cloud Hospital from the injuries he sustained. Gleason was from Greenfield, Minnesota and had attended Minnesota State University-Mankato. A probable cause hearing for Smithers has been set for October 2nd in Stearns County District Court. The court will determine if Smithers will be charged as an adult on October 30 during a certification hearing.

Psalm 121, BCP Psalter, Coverdale, 1662, St Paul's Cathedral Choir
* * *
For the high born, whose name and social position — and wealth — often stems directly from his or her birth, the doctrine that "except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3) is a troubling proposition. This certainly seems to have been the case with the Pharisee Nicodemus, a "ruler of the Jews" (John 3:1) and a "master of Israel" (John 3:10), who flirted with Christian discipleship during Christ's ministry. Will I lose my name, my status, my wealth if I am thus "born again"? These considerations perhaps reveal Nicodemus' question to Jesus — "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" (John 3:4) — as a sincere concern rather than the smart-alecky provocation visible in some popular versions of the story. [Read more…]

The best way to prepare ourselves for opening night of the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2014 NFL draft is by crafting a Day 1 primer.
The goal of this primer is to get a comprehensive overview of everything Jaguars—including a full seven-round mock draft.
From a recap of general manager David Caldwell's excursion into free agency to exploring some of the team's biggest needs, think of this article as your go-to source for the Jags.
Per usual, the closer we get to commissioner Roger Goodell officially kicking things off, the bigger—and sometimes nastier—the rumors become.
Will Johnny Manziel be bringing his machismo with him to Jacksonville? Will the Houston Texans and St. Louis Rams give the Jaguars a chance to draft South Carolina edge-rusher Jadeveon Clowney?
Or will Caldwell find a way to accumulate more picks by trading the No. 3 overall pick?
The rumor mill is working overtime as we wait for the dazzling lights of Radio City Music Hall to explode into our living rooms.
It's been a long time coming, but we made it. Jaguars fans, welcome to the 2014 NFL draft.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Excellent book for preschool and kindergarten!
My favorite! This marvelous science book about a caterpillar who goes through the process of metamorphosis, teaches basic concepts to young readers, such as days of the weeks, colors, food. Ideal for introducing vocabulary, and sophisticated words like metamorfosis (if I read it in Spanish), that's right! it comes in another language! so, yes, perfect for a bilingual Eng-Spa setting and second language learners. This books is a good example to consider text structures, because of the sequences in following the days of the weeks, also predicting, and explore all of those questions and wonders require in science. Beautiful pictures in ink, water colors, but mainly in collage.
This book is about the journey of a caterpillar changing into a beautiful butterfly. It begins from the hatching of a hungry caterpillar. The book illustrates what it eats through his journeys. It then becomes ill and spins itself into a cocoon. It then emerges into a beautiful butterfly.
Reading this book as a kid was exciting. Seeing the expressionist art style of the illustrations had a huge impact on me. These images inspired me to begin working on my art. Now I am a designer and illustrator who contributed to a page in an children's book.
Extension Idea
After the caterpillar changes into a butterfly, the book should continue its journey; land on some flowers and reveal a new journey ahead where it joins other butterflies. Afterwards, the book should show the butterfly laying eggs to begin another of the very hungry caterpillar.
A wonderfully illustrated story about the life cycle of a caterpillar. Introduces days of the week as well. Great for early elementary.
This book is an easy read and fun, colorful, and easy book to read. Great for all ages.
This is a great book because it can be a incorporated in many subjects, such as; days of the week, colors, life cycles, and insects. The plethora of extension activities this book brings is enormous.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0399226907, Board book)"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he is really fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans.

Eric Carle and Tomie dePaola: Author One-on-OneA Look Inside The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Board Book)
Eric Carle is the creator, author, and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and many other children's books. Tomie dePaola is the author and illustrator of Strega Nona: Her Story and countless other books. They recently had a conversation about their careers as picture book authors.
Tomie dePaola: When I was only four years old, I announced to my family in particular and to the world in general that I was going to become an artist, and write stories and draw pictures for books. I never swayed from that early declaration. I've always been curious to know, what inspired you to become a creator and illustrator of picture books?
Eric Carle: My career began as a graphic designer and for a number of years I worked as an art director for an advertising agency in New York. In the mid 1960's Bill Martin, Jr. saw an ad of a red lobster that I had designed and asked me to illustrate his Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Well, I was set on fire! I was so inspired by this book, and the opportunity to illustrate it changed my life. After that, I started to create my own books, both words and pictures, and really it was then that I had found my true course in life.
Now, I have a question for you, Tomie. How would you describe your artistic style, and has it changed over time?
Tomie dePaola: My illustration style is heavily influenced by folk art--strong simple shapes, bold lines, color, color, color and a deceptive simplicity. My style began to develop early in art school, and through the years, it hasn't changed very much, but it has refined itself. How would you describe yours?
Eric Carle: My aim with my work is to simplify and refine, be logical and harmonious. I like to use simple shapes, bright colors and a lot of white space. I write for the child inside of me. That is always where I begin.
Tomie dePaola: I do, as well. The only audience I keep in mind is that four-year-old in me. People sometimes ask me what advice I would give to young artists. I always think of the wonderful advice I received from my twin cousins when they were in art school in the late '30s. They told me, "Practice, practice, practice and don't copy."
Eric Carle: I often tell people about the four magic letters: DO IT. I want to be encouraging but I can only offer the example of my own experience, which is just one approach. There are many wonderful artists to learn about, which is important. But you must use your own imagination. You have to just do it.
Tomie dePaola: How do you feel knowing that a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is sold every 30 seconds, somewhere in the world?
Eric Carle: It is hard for me, maybe for others too, to grasp this concept. But I am truly honored that my story is enjoyed by so many and that it is now being shared by a generation of parents who grew up with my book. How about your Strega Nona. She is one of your most popular characters. Can you share how she came to be?
Tomie dePaola: In the '70s when I was teaching at a college, we were required to attend faculty meetings. I always sat in the back with a yellow legal pad. Everyone thought I was taking notes. At one meeting a doodle appeared of a little lady with a big nose and a big chin. I named her Strega Nona, and the rest is history. Speaking of history, how will you be celebrating the third annual Very Hungry Caterpillar Day this year?
Eric Carle: On The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, March 20th, I will probably be at home with my wife, Bobbie (I am a bit of a hermit, actually). But I will be saying a little toast to the caterpillar for whom I have a special place in my heart. And speaking of holidays, isn't your favorite holiday Christmas. Do you have a special Christmas memory?
Tomie dePaola: Christmas is my favorite holiday. My favorite Christmas was the one when I received tons and tons of art supplies: everything from an easel to paints, pads and pads of paper, and "how to draw" books.

Follows the progress of a hungry little caterpillar as he eats his way through a varied and very large quantity of food until, full at last, he forms a cocoon around himself and goes to sleep. Die-cut pages illustrate what the caterpillar ate on successive days.… (more)
