Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you like nutella and you like chocolate chip cookies, you should definitely make these. They are sweet, chewy, fudgy, absolutely delicious.
My favorite part of all is that they stay fudgy and chewy, even the next day. For the past few months I've been trying out various popular chocolate chip cookie recipes. Some have required quite a few extra steps such as refrigerating, using bread flour, etc. Many have promised to be chewy, but end up being cakey the day after they are baked.
These tasted just as good the next day. And the recipe was easy and simple. I found the recipe from JustJenn.
I only wish I had attempted this recipe sooner. This is definitely going on my favorites list.
It's interesting that these look like regular chocolate chip cookies. When I mixed the nutella in the dough, it turned the dough a dark brown. I thought the cookies would come out darker than regular chocolate chip cookies, but they are still pretty light. When you bite into the cookies, you can see the layer of nutella in the middle.
I made my cookies fairly big because I like them that way. I followed the recipe, but with a couple of changes to suit my tastes. For JustJenn's original recipe, go here.
This is the recipe I used:
Nutella chocolate chip cookies (adapted from JustJenn)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup Nutella
1 cup chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.
3. In a separate bowl cream the butter, sugar and the brown sugar using an electric mixer. Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined.
4. Add in the flour mixture on low speed until combined. Then add in the nutella and mix until Nutella is incorporated.
5. Using a large spoon, mix in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop large tablespoons of dough and drop onto baking sheets. I usually shape my dough balls so that they are smooth and flatten them a little, to make the cookies bake prettier.
7. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Remove cookies from try and let them cool on wire racks.

these look amazing…….
They almost look like regular chocolate chip cookies – it's funny how the dark Nutella doesn't color them darker! I love anything with Nutella in it, so I've got these on my to-bake list!
Ahh… You are killing me here! It is summer and I am doing my best to be healthy, and then I see these. How can I resist?
They taste pretty amazing =)
I was surprised too. When I mixed the dough, the dough definitely looked like chocolate dough. But then I baked them and they came out normal chocolate chip color. I really like these. You can taste the nutella in the cookie.
Haha. I've pretty much given up on trying to eat healthy in the summer since I started food blogging. There's too much pretty food pics out there!
I have not made anything with Nutella yet but I love chocolate chips cookies so I think I am going to try it! Love sweet things.
Yummy, does the dough need to be refrigerated at all?
It's not much different than making regular choc chip cookies and they taste great. Sometimes nutella gets lost in a recipe, but I think this one you can definitely taste the nutella.
Nope! I was worried about that too since a lot of recipes require refrigeration, but not this one. And the cookies still come out great!
I made a double batch today and they came out all flat (not nice a poofy like yours) I am not sure where I went wrong. I also didnt taste and nutella, they were still good just taste like a really sweet chocolate chip cookie
Hm, perhaps you might want to reduce the amount of white sugar so that the nutella comes through more? I just made these cookies again and thought they were a tad too sweet and I didn't taste the nutella as much as the first time. You may also might want to not completely mix the nutella into the dough. So only mix it partway, so that there will be nutella swirls in your cookie dough.
As for poofiness, I've seen other people with problems of flat cookies; it's something that hasn't happened to me. One problem could be that you are baking the cookies before the oven is completely preheated, causing the cookie dough to begin to flatten and slide.
If you take a look at this post, this is not the same recipe, but the blogger made a recipe where her cookies came out flat (I made the same recipe and I had poofy cookies) On the comments section many people commented on possible reasons for the flat cookies. perhaps this may help. http://une-deuxsenses.blogspot.com/2010/05/chewy.html
Nutella is a staple item in our pantry. It will be nice to try these and branch out from the usual glob of Nutella on a spoon.
I am quite surprised at how light they turned out. I may make two batches. One swirl and one mixed. I just love a good baking experiment! Thanks!
You may want to try a baking powder instead of soda or a mixture of both. Chilling the dough helps as well. You should be able to get fluffier cookies using these tips.

hi kirbie – fyi – i just did "justjenn's" version earlier today w/tc. the first batch came out really well! nice and crackly on top. the other batch i mixed the nutella into the dough more and it came out kind of dark. didn't like the appearance as much but they still taste good!this was the "test" run. i plan to make more this week for an upcoming cookie party as well as for the co-workers. i will try your version the next time. this is such a great use of Nutella! love it!
Pingback: Herpes Women, Hormones And Chocolate | BestCureHemorrhoids.info
I haven't made these (yet!) but people may be getting flat cookies because the recipe above says to melt the butter. Normally when butter is creamed with sugar it is softened but not melted. Hope this helps!
Hi Kirbie,
Thanks for the recipe! The first two sheets are just out of the oven. They look amazing, as if bought in a store. And the smell: great.
Thank you for posting this recipe.
Thank you so much for the delicious recipe. My husband LOVES Nutella so I just whipped up a batch for him today. We both give these yummy cookies two thumbs up.
OMG these were absolutely delicious! i dont think there is any way to mess them up either. i doubled the nutella and added more chocolate chips. i split dough in half. to the second half i added a package of hot cocoa powder, they looked like bakery style cookies. amazing!!! you cant go wrong w/ more chocolate can u? please dont hesitate to make these. u wont be sorry.

I tried this recipe twice, and both failed miserably. Let me assure you that I'm an experienced baker and have followed this recipe to the 't', but still end up with cookies that are nowhere near chewy. They honestly tasted like cardboard. I even threw it all out because I knew nobody in my home would like it, since I myself don't. Thanks for shering, but my go-to cookie recipe will still be the award winning cookie recipe from allrecipes. I'll add nutella to that. I'm sure it'll be mind blowing, unlike this one. Sorry.

MARTINSBURG - More unsuspecting high school basketball players may have netted membership on the West Virginia state basketball tournament's infamous "Meth Motel" team.
Law enforcement officials in Charleston Friday announced testing has revealed 30 rooms at a motel used to house teams participating in the event were contaminated from a meth lab that had been discovered operated at the motel prior to the tournament.
Testing for methamphetamine residue and the subsequent cleanup has concluded at a Charleston motel where members of basketball teams and cheerleading squads from Martinsburg and Berkeley Springs high schools stayed during the recent state basketball tournament, a state official said Friday.
In all, 29 residents' rooms were found to have been contaminated from an operating meth lab that police found in the motel at the end of January, said Brandon Lewis, program coordinator for the West Virginia's Meth Lab Remediation Program. One additional room was found to be contaminated, but it was an electrical storage room, Lewis said.
During the state tournament, health and law enforcement officials shutdown the motel, which had been approved for team housing by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, after it was discovered at least one contaminated room had been rented to the MHS team.
A group of four players from Martinsburg had all their possessions, including uniforms, confiscated and underwent medical examinations for the exposure.
Apparently, they were not the only players or team officials exposed.
Friday, Lewis said he could not say for certain if any other members of the two teams had stayed in any of the contaminated rooms discovered upon further testing.
However, Morgan County Schools officials confirmed that players and coaches from Berkeley Springs did stay in some of those rooms.
"We received a list of rooms that were contaminated and matched them up," said David Banks, superintendent of Morgan County Schools, adding that the school district notified the players and coaches involved in the situation because no one from Charleston or the WVSSAC "took the initiative."
He didn't remember the actual number, other than to call it "several."
Testing ended on Thursday; on Friday the state allowed Motel 6 to reopen 75 rooms at the motel at 6311 MacCorkle Ave., Charleston. More rooms will become available soon, Lewis added. A check of the company's website showed reservations being accepted for Friday night.
Although both basketball teams stayed at the Motel 6 two weeks ago, Martinsburg was forced to vacate the premises when state officials closed down the facility on the eve of its semifinal contest against George Washington in the Class AAA tournament.
The team from Berkeley Springs had lost its first game to Bluefield in the Class AA event on March 14 and had returned home by the time the order to vacate the building came.
The Martinsburg team was moved to a hotel in South Charleston, but the four players who stayed in Room 215 - which state officials had ordered off limits - lost all of their personal belongings and their uniforms.
"By law, we couldn't allow (their items) to be removed," Lewis said.
Lewis emphasized the levels of meth found in the newly tested rooms were "very low."
"If it was in California, they wouldn't have been asked to close their doors," Lewis said.
That's because California's threshold for closure is 1.5 microgram of meth residue per 100 square centimeters, compared with West Virginia's .1 microgram level, Lewis explained.
He said 37 states have laws and many differ as to acceptable limits
"We're being very proactive," Lewis said of West Virginia'sprogram. "It's better to be safe than sorry."
He reiterated that exposure to meth would produce symptoms "pretty quickly," noting that the "shelf-life is six to eight hours."
The four Martinsburg players from Room 215 went to a hospital to be examined, but blood tests weren't ordered by medical personnel, because they showed no symptoms of meth influence, the players said.
Lewis also said that if people who might have stayed in the contaminated rooms are worried about their clothing or other personal effects, several washings should eliminate any issues.
Morgan County Schools Superintendent Banks said he received the same information. "They're saying those rooms were contaminated, but there's nothing to worry about," Banks said.
Both Martinsburg and Berkeley Springs wound up at the Motel 6 because of a lottery system in use to lodge teams in the Charleston area. Both schools drew low numbers, meaning their choices were very limited.
West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission executive director Gary Ray said previously that the Motel 6 in question had been used for "four or five years" to house teams playing in the state tournament,
The phone at the WVSSC went unanswered late Friday afternoon.
The Journal was unable to contact Manny Arvon, superintendent of Berkeley County Schools.
Martinsburg basketball coach Dave Rogers said he anticipates "you'll see changes in how they do rooming next year. Because of what happened, I think the SSAC is responsible enough to do that."
Rogers said he is hopeful of getting new sets of uniforms for the team from Accor North America, Motel 6's parent company, rather than replacements for the ones destroyed because the alternates might not match completely with the current uniform stock.
The players from 215 were also instructed to provide an inventory of their lost items to the company.
"It's just unfortunate that such a positive experience of going to the state tournament has to be tainted by staying in a motel," Banks said.

We discuss the implications of recent radiometric observations of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) and main belt asteroids near NEA Intermediate Source Regions (ISRAs) and their implications. The derived sizes and albedos are vital for developing reliable NEA population models.
From a sample of ~100 ISRAs, we find: 1) only ~20% of the ISRAs are "dark", in agreement with the model of Morbidelli et al., 2002 (Icarus 158, 329), and 2) the existence of a strong trend of increasing albedo with decreasing size for ISRAs, consistent with this effect found by Delbo et al., 2003 (Icarus 166, 116) for a sample of 11 small S-class NEAs.
The present results are not due to selection effects since the population from which this sample is drawn is essentially complete. Furthermore, the dearth of small asteroids with low albedos and the trend of increasing albedo with decreasing size, is independent of the thermal model used.
Whether the observed predominance of high-albedo objects is real and indicative, for example, of peculiar surface characteristics associated with small asteroids in general (possibly related to short exposure times to space weathering), or is simply the result of systematic errors in the thermal models, is a matter for further analysis.

Sunday Dinner: Sausage and Peppersaggieskitchen
One of my favorite meals to make when my family or friends get together is Sausage and Peppers. It is incredibly easy to put together and can be served in so many different ways. You can add it to a big bowl of pasta…or serve it on its own alongside a vegetable or even in crusty rolls as sandwiches. What's great about this dish is that it can easily be doubled and tripled to feed a crowd and is very portable to bring to a pot luck, it's always a crowd-pleaser.
Sausage and Peppers are pretty much an 'old reliable' recipe when it comes to cooking for Sunday Dinners…it really is comfort food at it's best.
For my Sausage and Peppers recipe along with some advice and tips on how I keep it together when entertaining a large group visit Reluctant Entertainer blog.

Installation problem, 64 Studio 2.1
Greetings all I'm trying to install 64 Studio 2.1 from DVD but I can't get past the first Debian bootup screen "Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot" (no response from keyboard at all when I get to that point). I've got XP installed on the machine and everything works fine on that side (planning to set up dual-boot system). The DVD is from a reliable source, and the disk is spotless. Hardware details: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Chipset: North Bridge: Intel® G31 Express Chipset South Bridge: Intel® ICH7 Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E4600, 2.4 GHz DVD/R drive: LG super multi If I've missed anything, further motherboard details available at http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2693 Any ideas welcome. Thanks in advance Dan
You can check out www.soundz.co.za - I bought from them before and the prices are good, and they deliver to your door. You should also go and visit Turnkey Music in Randburg. http://www.tuerkmusic.co.za/page.php?p_id=137 Cheers,
Thanks for the link,
Thanks for the link, Quentin. I'm investigating new soundcard options. I see you're also in SA. Go the Bokke! I get through to JHB quite often and wondered if you can recommend a place that has decent stock. I've heard of Marshall Music and I hope to go in there this morning. Any other places you can recommend in the area? I also get through to Centurion now and then. Greetings, Pablo. The version I'm using is 2.1 amd64. I ordered it on DVD from a local company, www.fosscds.co.za and I've no idea if it came bundled with any repositories etc. I don't have an internet connection set up within Linux as yet although I've got internet access via my Nokia phone, from within WinXP. I know the same thing is probably possible using the bundled Nokia software within Wine on Linux but I haven't had time to figure out how to set this up yet. Big downloads are also very expensive using my phone. I'm also on holiday for just over a week so I'll only get to follow up on what you recommend after 16 Sep. Thanks for the advice though, I'll check it out when I get back. Cheers guys, Dan
First steps
Hi Dan, Sorry if I say some obvious things you already know. what version of 64studio, 32 or 64 bits? Type in the terminal: $uname -r and paste the result (select with the mouse and drop here with the middle button). When you install for the first time a Linux distro from a CD or DVD, it's good to upgrade it, i.e. get the latest packages from the oficial repositories. 64studio is based on Debian etch and the oficial repositories are the ones you can see uncommented (without a #) in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/sources/sources.list.d/64studio.list. Also, you can see the enabled repositories in synaptic, in the settings menu. I expect they will be: deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable/ 64studio main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main You can upgrade all the installed packages [EDIT: in synaptic by the Reload button and then ] "Marke all upgrades". This way you make sure you have the latest packages of the oficial 64studio 2.1 release. Then report again. Or report at the 64studio users mailing list, which is read by the administrators. As for the sound, do as suggested by Quentin, or you'll have Lance Amrstrong riding a crappy bike. In the meantime, try to get sound out of it before attempting to get jack up and running. Jack is not needed to drive your soundcard, but to get the best out of it and interconnect different ("jack-aware") applications. For the time being, make sure ALSA is OK with it. Sometimes the onboard audio cards don't work out of the box. Check alsamixer, search this and other forums (Linux, google, ubuntu, alsa itself...). By the way, in any case you'll need ALSA, not OSS, which is really old afaik. Rosegarden does not produce sound by itself. It needs something more. I use qsynth with a soundfont (and JACK) but there are other possibilities. More info at the rosegarden tutorial. Cheers Pablo
I know it should be an acronym for High Definition Audio, but sadly it is not. You are much better off by disabling the offending on-board sound device (as I have right at the beginning) and get yourself a real sound card. Check the Greylist for advice... http://www.64studio.com/node/69 The dying apps thing is just a bit strange to me. I don't have that kind of troubles on my 64bit system. Could be that you need a more recent kernel to unlock the hidden potential of your system. Don't worry... new RT kernels are being tested by the newly formed Linux Audio Kernel tuning group as you read... Cheers,
Sound is nowhere to be heard
Greetings all I've managed to install 64studio 2.1 but I'm having a few hassles: 1. Some of the packages don't seem to work. I select them but there's no response (AbiWord plus a few others). I'm also getting some strange and random error messages popping up at startup (one of them says something about 64studio.xml could not be found). 2. I can't get any sound from anything (CD player included). It would be great to get Rosegarden up and running, but there's no sound there either (tried opening some of the demo files). I've gone through the "Jack Quickstart Guide" in the Tutorials section and tried setting up everything as suggested. In the "Setup - JACK Audio Connection Kit" box, I got a few possibilities from drop down menus: Input Device: hw:0 HDA Intel hw:0,0 ALC662 Analog --------------------- (default) Output Device: hw:0 HDA Intel hw:0,0 ALC662 Analog hw:0,1 ALC662 Digital --------------------- (default) I've tried all available options using ALSA as the driver. If I choose the oss driver, various Parameters get greyed out, and I only get the "ALC662 (DUPLEX)" option for both Input/Output Devices. I also tried setting Frames/period to 256 to allow for a higher latency value. According to the motherboard specs (from link in original post), the onboard audio specs are as follows: Audio 1. Realtek ALC662 codec 2. High Definition Audio 3. 2/4/5.1-channel 4. Support for S/PDIF Out 5. Support for CD In There is a remark at the bottom of the Specs list that says "Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website." Could this be the problem? Any ideas welcome. Dan
ps2 keyboard did the trick!
Thanks Quentin. I tried a ps2 keyboard and sure enough I managed to get past the first screen. Now it's time to do the installation... Cheers Dan
What keyboard?
If it is a usb keyboard, you might need to change a setting in your BOIS to make it function in the installer. If you still have a problem, borrow a ps2 keyboard for the install, and everything should be fine after installation is completed.

Shop Around for Cable: DirecTV vs. Comcast vs. Verizon
Finance blogs often explore how customers can save money on cable or even cut their cable, and while this can definitely save money, making such a big change can leave some customers without their favorite shows. Those who want to watch a number of sports on television or watch specific regional teams have few alternatives.
So if you don't want to cut your cable and just want to know what packages are out there so you can try to negotiate for a better offer, we've put together some of the current promotions available from some of the largest carriers. If you have one of these competitors in your area, check out their regional offer and see if you can get your current provider to match it. If they won't, switch!
And if you've previously cut the cable and want to have it again or you're just planning to sign up, here's a quick recap of what's out there:

Our priority, however, is to prioritise the continued development of the player rather than being results driven. Our main source of recruiting players had been through scouting from the local annual Gourock YAC Sevens, which unfortunately stopped last season. Many of the kids have contacted First Touch via the website and have been invited in for trials this has been a great benefit for all age groups, we now have a boy and girl who travel from Rothesay for every session.
Our coaching takes place twice a week at the Battery Park, Greenock. Our pool of coaching talent combines youth and experience together with current and former players, including many with experience playing at amateur, junior and senior levels. Since our formation, we are proud to have been able to maximise our players' talents to a level where they have moved on to playing with local boys clubs and senior pro-youth clubs, including Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Greenock Morton. We also continue to send players for trials or additional coaching to some of these clubs.
Off the park we pride ourselves on having a highly effective and up to date governance infrastructure which covers recruitment of new coaches, child protection policies and codes of conduct for coaches, parents and players.

Bad News From Breaking Bad
You've heard the old chestnut: 'No publicity is bad publicity'. Well, the folks at the National Cancer Coalition are re-thinking that one!
This 'charity' was recently listed as #21 on the "America's Worst Charities" rankings by the Tampa Bay Times and The Center for Investigative Reporting.
OK, by any definition, that's not good publicity.
But now it turns out that popular TV show Breaking Bad has inadvertently helped generate $125,000 in donations to the charity over a three year period.
For years, AMC (the cable net airing Breaking Bad) ran a website that allowed fans to give money to a cancer charity on behalf of the terminal lead character. In the show, the son of a character whose father suffers from cancer sets up a website to raise money for his dad's treatments. AMC decided to set up a parallel, real site to channel contributions from sympathetic viewers to a worthy cancer charity.
Unfortunately, apparently without due diligence, they picked the National Cancer Coalition. [I wonder if that PA's still on the job?!]
The Times/CIR investigation found that about 1% of all the cash raised by solicitors for the charity over the past decade was given to organizations or to patients. Read about the whole episode here.
Why are we writing about this?
Because back when we first covered the the "Worst 50 Charities" reporting, we pledged to do our part to "drain the swamp". And a key piece of the plan we advocate is to publicize and ostracize the abusers. We'll do that every chance we get.

Roger and Tom,
Can you also reveal who their solicitors and consultants have been/are?
You can find the list of solicitors here http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charities/solicitors/list. Also there're other valuable resource links in our post titled: "Read This. Then Shower" at http://www.theagitator.net/hot-research/read-this-then-shower/

BEAUMONT (AP) - A national insurance carrier is dropping Medicare+Choice HMO plans in 11 states, including Texas, leaving almost 5,000 Southeast Texans to find a new carrier.
NYLCare 65, administered by Aetna and owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield, will leave its subscribers in the lurch after Dec. 31.
"The decision to exit certain Medicare markets was reached with great reluctance, but was made after an exhaustive review of alternatives, such as significant benefit and premium modifications," said William H. Donaldson, Aetna chairman and CEO.
About 355,000 Medicare subscribers nationwide will be effected. In Southeast Texas, Aetna lists 3,300 subscribers in Jefferson County, 900 in Hardin Country and 600 in Orange County.
For the remainder of the year, all plans will continue with their current benefit and premium structures.
The company cited capped Medicare reimbursement increases in these markets as the reason for the withdrawal.
In addition to Texas and Louisiana, other states that will be affected by Aetna's decision to drop Medicare+Choice plans include Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Ohio, and Washington.
The company will begin notifying members directly on July 17. In affected markets, the company will cease marketing its Medicare programs by Monday.

Baking in Taiwan~ Junior Chef~
December 29, 2015 Leave a comment
{ Introduction }
Hi, I'm Emma, I am going to start writing on this blog too! I'm 12 years old and I like to bake and cook, it's so much fun! I am the junior chef around the house. I like to help my mom in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy my first post on Chili Lime Garlic!
Ever since we moved into our own rental house in Taiwan (June 2015), we've baked quite a lot. We make bread, muffins, steamed buns (Mantou 饅頭), and I'm sure there's even more coming. I love to bake because it's quite fun to mix all the ingredients and {hopefully} have a great snack in the end. [Munch, Mu Munch..]
{ Organic 有機 Ingredients }
We like to eat, mostly organic foods as much as possible. We go to Taitong台東 [Tai-dong] (another bigger town) to buy organic whole wheat flour (全麥麵粉), brown sugar (黑糖), and other organic things we need (our town is quite small, so there's no organic stores).
{ Local ingredients }
For yeast (酵母), baking powder (發酵粉), and baking soda (小蘇打), we go to the local supermarkets to buy them. Sometimes, to make mantou , we buy flour (麵粉) from the local grocery store since it gives it some fluffiness, whereas, whole wheat flour can be more dense.
{ My Favorite Recipes }
My favorite things to bake(烤) / steam(蒸) are, banana bread/ muffins, and Mantou (steamed buns). Although, the mantou was a bit challenging at first (like everything is), now we can just make it "No Problemo" (沒問題) ;). We make all sorts of mantou flavors, like sweet potato (地瓜), cocoa powder(巧克力粉), sesame filling (芝麻), banana (香蕉), taro (芋頭), raisins(葡萄乾), walnuts (核桃), and a lot of different other things we have around the kitchen. Banana bread (香蕉麵包) is also a super easy recipe to follow, and I already remember it by heart! And it tastes delicious (很好吃)! We like to tweak the recipe's according to the things that we have available to us. Like if we have banana, we'll make a banana mantou, or if we have walnuts – why not add that in too?-😉
{ Conlusion }
To conclude, I enjoy baking a lot! I'm very happy that we are able to bake in Taiwan, even with our cute little oven. It's time consuming, however, but always really fun to bake {whatever it is!}. It's similar to a science experiment, although, you get to eat the finished product! But, it really is like an experiment, since we work with yeast, and baking soda. Things bubble up, and rise, and it's just so cool to be there and watch it all happen!😄

The airbrushing of fashion models has been a contentious issue for several years, and a U.K. department store has sparked renewed interest in the topic. British department store Debenhams made a splash this week when they posted a picture of a model before and after airbrushing. The photo depicts a beautiful model in lingerie, and points out all of the flaws that will need to be corrected in Photoshop. From skimming down arm and leg size to enhancing cleavage, 16 changes were deemed necessary before publishing the photo. Merely adhering to the editing standards of the industry, Debenhams has committed to changing this practice.
"We're showing our commitment to encouraging positive body image by using un-airbrushed lingerie photography," read a statement on the official Debenhams Facebook page. Debenhams is one of many fashion brands to recently amend their practices in an attempt to set a better example for girls with body image issues. Last summer, Vogue and Seventeen Magazine announced it would no longer feature "too thin" models, with Vogue going even further by banning the hiring of underage models. Fashion houses in Spain and Italy now have a standard BMI of which models cannot fall under; Israel passed legislation prohibiting models to fall below a BMI limit of 18.5.

New Orleans police are searching for a man who walked into Harrah's Casino earlier this week and stole a woman's wallet.
The robbery happened about 3 p.m. Tuesday, said officer Hilal Williams, a New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman. The victim, an 85-year-old woman, was playing a slot machine when the suspect walked up to her and snatched her wallet from her hands.
The man then ran out of the casino.
He is described as a middle-aged man who wore a black leather jacket, light-colored pants and a fedora hat.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact the NOPD's 8th District detectives at 504.658.6080.

The original idea for the record was pretty over the top. It was supposed to have a bunch of dialogue and music in between the actual songs, so Id say the finished product is pretty far from how I originally imagined it. The themes remain pretty much the same though. Is there any tension within the band due to the tendency of media to refer to you all as Max Bemis and his band? How permanent is the current band lineup? Coby helped write the songs so he gets a little bit more recognition then the rest of the band, who, at this point, are just playing what we recorded. Alex is going to write the bass lines for the next record and help write songs too. As for tension within the band, most to all of the time people just accept that this is how it is when there is a singer/songwriter in the band, and this is how its always been. It doesnt mean the other people in the band arent talented or awesome performers. Once and a while it can get weird but its pretty rare. How autobiographical is your writing? Do you feel more defined by your music, or vice versa? I have a strong personal life and have a lot of hobbies outside of playing music and my personal relationships and personality define me. Music is my passion and an expression of myself not the other way around. Whose idea was the album reissue? How do you feel about it all? It was J records idea to reissue Is a Real Boy. They believe it has a mainstream appeal that wasnt really reached when Doghouse released the record. I believe that an artist should let his art be appreciated by anyone whos interested and not play favourites. Do you feel that WARB completes IARB, or does it feel like a stitched on appendage to you? Was a Real Boy is kind of an epilogue for the record and a prologue for whats to come. New album plans? How are these influenced by the new label? We have a lot more money to spend on our next album so options for the amount of time or the producer(s) for the next record have increased. We have always written edgy pop songs and thats not going to change. How often do you look out into the crowd and see the exact people you sing about in Admit It? You cant judge from how someone looks whether they are pretentious or not, which is a lot of what the song is about. Id rather be a trendy scene kid then someone whos so consumed with shame and worried what people think about them that they dont give new music or music they havent heard a chance and judge kids for what they wear or how they choose to present themselves. Are you surprised by how readily fans have embraced Say Anything? Its a dream come true. Do you think that you are ready for mainstream success? Yes. Ive always wanted our music to reach as many people as possible. However, as it actually happens, its always surprising because I dont assume that Ill always get what I want. How has your illness affected your music? Have you gone in different directions than you otherwise might have? Ive always had my illness, and since I started medicating it, its harder to get manic bursts of inspiration, it comes more slowly and subtly but it doesnt hinder my creativity. Do you view yourself as a tortured artist? Do you feel as though anyone really understands you? I am not tortured. I have ups and downs to my life and I have gone through a lot of shit but I am lucky to be where I am and I have a great time doing what I do. Would you rather someone told you that you suck or that you are the next Dylan? I mean, the next Dylan. Nobody likes to hear that they suck unless they have something to prove to the world. I thought your bio's response to people that might call you a sell out was excellent and ultimately unassailable...can you expand on that a bit? Not having my bio on hand, I can say that I have never cared about people that would claim Im a sell out. I love being able to support myself but Ive never written music or made decisions in my career to make more money. I ultimately care about self respect and Ive always enjoyed performing for people, being able to relate to them instead of shutting them out. I write music that I would like to hear and that I enjoy playing and it just so happens to be catchy. Its impossible for me to write a song with no feeling in it as poppy or accessible as it seems.

Public Statement Concerning the Arrest of Gregory Yeamans
A news story was issued on January 5, 2015 concerning the arrest of Gregory Yeamans, who has been charged with several counts of child abuse. Our church is deeply saddened by allegations such as these, and we have expressed our willingness to cooperate with any ongoing investigation as we seek to minister to and pray for all those involved.
We would like to clarify some of the misinformation that has been released. Mr. Yeamans is not, nor has ever been, a pastor at Fairview at River Club, nor has he ever held any other staff position at our church. He has not been a volunteer in our student ministry since the Fall of 2013. The alleged incidents reported by the press occurred at his private residence and were not directly connected to any church sponsored program or event.
Our church takes the safety of our children and students very seriously. All volunteers working with minors, including Mr. Yeamans, have completed criminal background checks, and we have policies in place to help create a safe ministry environment.
Currently, we have reached out to the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Department but do not have any additional information concerning the allegations or how the families involved are connected to our church.

The Arvada Police Department places a high priority on crimes that occur against children. This includes physical and/or sexual abuse experienced by children.
Five full-time detectives are assigned to the investigation of child victimization. The Arvada Police Department uses a multi-disciplinary team approach when investigating crimes against children. That means the detectives work closely with other professionals, such as social workers, pediatricians, district attorney's office, and other police agencies, all with the goal in mind of best serving the children who are victims of crime.
Ralston House
The Ralston House (formerly the Arvada Child Advocacy Center) is the primary location where the children are brought to begin the investigations of the crimes against children. At Ralston House, every child meets the help he or she needs at one place, without having to visit all the different agencies and repeating the information over and over to the various representatives of each agency.
The police detectives work together with the team of other professionals at the Ralston House to provide a child with a friendly, forensically sound, investigation. Other team professionals include a forensic therapist, a nurse practitioner and a victim advocate.
We are fortunate to have the Ralston House within our city limits. Ralston House serves several jurisdictions and multiple police agencies in attending to child victims of crime. You can click on the link in the right column to find out more about Ralston House.

Healthy Food, Green & Growing Initiative
St. John's provides low-cost medical, dental and mental health care to patients in South LA, regardless of ability to pay. This area has disproportionately high rates of diabetes and obesity and a dearth of access to healthy food. The Healthy Food Green & Growing Initiative (HFGG) is a new program that provides direct access to fresh fruits and vegetables in South Los Angeles through edible gardens, with a focus on St. John's patients who have been diagnosed with or are at risk for obesity, diabetes and hypertension. The core program of the HFGG initiative is providing St. John's pediatric obesity patients and their families with the materials, tools, and basic gardening skills to create and maintain their very own edible parkway gardens. Each parkway garden is a 2x4 foot raised bed space with room to grow at least 8 edible plants in the public parkways (between the sidewalk and street). Through two initial dig-in days, over 100 volunteers have helped 45 families receive garden starter boxes and these families are now successfully growing healthy food in their parkways. Additionally, a subset of these families has participated in basic gardening and nutrition classes held at St. John's. Garden leaders from the community have started to be identified to help take leadership roles in expanding the program through doing education and outreach to neighbors, family, and friends.
About us:
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

TEMP Goes to School
Our educational initiatives:
The Susan Anderson Kerr Scholarship and the
Austin Community Foundation
We are excited about our developing educational initiatives. The Susan Anderson Kerr Scholarship was awarded to three young musicians, two at St. Stephen's School, and one at UT Austin's Butler School of Music, during the 2013-2014 season. More scholarships for students between the ages of 14 and 21 are available for the 2014-2015 season, so please keep spreading the word.
Kerr Scholars 2014-2015:
• Mary (Meirui) Wang is a 10th grader at St. Stephen's who both sings and plays piano.
• Emma (Xintong) Cai is a 12th grader at St. Stephen's who is a fine pianist and a music history student.
• Alex Oberle and Sam Oberle are brothers in 10th grade at St. Stephen's; both sing and play piano, and Alex also plays drums.
The 2013-2014 season saw a renewed effort in this most exciting area. We received a grant from the Austin Community Foundation to perform at five Austin area schools, both public and private; the first of these was given at the Texas School for Blind and Visually Impaired in January, and was enthusiastically received. We also performed an outreach concert for some of the choir directors in the Pflugerville schools, and now several of them are talking to us about performing for their students this school year.
We're looking forward to meeting more students and teachers and introducing them to their musical roots! If you know any young musicians or instructors who are interested in these opportunities, or would like to support our efforts in any way, please call (512) 377-6961 and leave a message, or email us! All contributions to the scholarship, or directly to TEMP, are fully tax-deductible.
We mourn the passing of Susan's husband, John F. Kerr, and we appreciate his generous designation of the Susan Anderson Kerr Fund for donations in his memory.

Vice President Joe Biden was in Flint yesterday to help push President Obama's job plan and had a serious warning for Flint.
Biden said in 2008 when there were more cops murders and rapes were down in Flint, but then in 2010 when there were less cops murders and rapes were up.
The jobs plan includes $5 Billion for police and first responders, but does not have everyone convinced.

PRINCETON — No need to deviate from a script that's worked so well in the past.
That's the thought process that Bordentown Post 26 manager Tom Dolan used in deciding which district the Mercer County American Legion League champs are going to play out of when district tournament play commences on Sunday.
As the MCALL champs, Bordentown had first dibs on where it wanted to play and Dolan selected Union Field in West Deptford, a field that's treated Post 26 nicely in recent history.
"I thought our best shot was going to West Deptford," Dolan said. "There's just too many unknowns at Mercer (County Park), especially when Brooklawn (Post 72) is involved because people tend to stay away from them. I feel like we have a little bit better idea of what to expect in Deptford. I knew we would get another good Mercer team joining us down there but I still thought this was the best route for us. I can always second guess myself later. And like (assistant coach) Chris Hoyer said, we always play better as a team when we're away. We really don't play well at Mercer County Park and I don't know why."
Second-place Allentown had the next choice and opted to stay home at Mercer County Park, where it will serve as the host team.
Broad St. Park Post 313 had the next choice and opted to go to Commerce Park in North Brunswick, which, like Union Field, is hitter friendly to say the least.
West Windsor-Plainsboro had the next choice and Don Hutchinson decided to have his club take the short trek around the corner to Mercer County Park to take up the MCALL's last local slot.
By virtue of that, fifth-place Hamilton Post 31 and sixth-place Ewing Post 314 will also travel to West Deptford.
"The key down there is to not get guys looking to the skies trying to swing for the fences," Dolan said of the short porch. "You don't need to do that because if my guys take regular swings, line-drive swings, there's a good chance balls are going to go out of the ballpark. That's going to be a big task on us to keep the kids levelheaded."

Mark Burns is a contributor on sports business for Sporting News. He is currently a third year law student at Belmont University. Follow Mark on Twitter @MarkJBurns88.
According to Sean Casey, a senior vice president at Nielsen, sports events account for 2-to-3 percent of television programming every month. Yet that small amount produces roughly 50 percent of Twitter's overall activity around TV.
For mega sporting events like the Super Bowl, Olympics or March Madness, Twitter's use as a 'second screen' wins the day. Period.
In late 2012, Vicente Fernandez and his mother, Aymara Del Aguila, launched Sportsmanias.com in an attempt to further enhance diehard sports fans' viewing experience on the social media platform.
"You are spoon-fed every tweet customized to your interests," Del Aguila said.
The digital platform aggregates real-time content, tweets, rumors, videos and game scores from local newspaper beat writers, with fans having the luxury to pick and choose what sources to follow from a particular team. Sportsmanias' engineers filter out the worthless content and thereby provide access to the professional news and information tailored toward fans' interests.
Additionally, the site's 'Matchups' feature allows fans to track the online conversation from the perspectives of both teams' beat writers. With the Final Four taking place this weekend in Dallas, a platform like Sportsmanias is ideal for even greater dual-stream viewing.
"One of the struggles I found when I talked to people is most of the time they don't know who the best sources for their teams are," Fernandez said. "They might know one or two, but they don't know who to follow. With Sportsmanias, it's so much easier. We bring it all to the fan in one place."
Sportsmanias' first investor — Jorge Mas — has already contributed $1 million in funding to the new venture. According to Del Aguila, Mas, the founder of Mas Equity Partners and Chairman of the multi-billion dollar infrastructure engineering and construction company, MasTec Inc., has already confirmed further support moving forward.
"It's been tremendous to have such a strategic and loyal investor that is backing us," Del Aguila said of Mas.
The monetary goal at this point for the new venture is to raise $3.5 million. With the past assistance from Mas and a recent $500,000 investment from another unnamed individual, that benchmark doesn't seem too far off. Future contributions would allow Fernandez and Del Aguila to continually update Sportsmanias' website, its mobile applications for iOS and Android and the first-time landing experience for users.
For the immediate future, Sportsmanias hopes to partner with more media outlets similar to its current relationship with the Miami Herald. Through the promotion of beat writers and the newspaper's content on Sportsmanias and the ability to link back to the original content, Sportsmanias has attracted a larger amount of new local traffic to the local newspaper. It's the type of partnership that the mother-son duo hopes to take nationwide.
"It's a win-win for everyone," Del Aguila said.

Wednesday night during the autumnal equinox (which was at 10:09 PMR central time), my daughter and I decided to try and balance an egg on end. I had always thought this to be a myth. To our surprise we were able to do so, in less than 10 to 15 seconds of trying. It balanced at 9:53pm on September 23rd and stayed that way for 32 minutes before falling at 10:25pm. I have tried over and over after that time with the same egg with no success. What is even more interesting is that the egg balanced exactly 16 minutes before the equinox and fell exactly16 minutes after the equinox. I have attached a video of the egg standing on end at around 9:59pm on September 23rd. This was not a hoax and really happened!

09/22/2010 - Today is the day when Northern summer changes to fall at 10:09 pm CDT. At that precise moment, we can celebrate the Autumnal Equinox. The word means "equal night," meaning equal day and night. Equinoxes are points in time, while the term equiluxes are days. By definition, equiluxes are the days where sunrise and sunset are closest to being exactly 12 hours apart. This Autumnal Equinox is a special equinox. For the first time in almost 20 years, northern autumn is beginning on the night of a full Moon. The coincidence sets the stage for a "Super Harvest Moon". The Harvest Moon gets its name from agriculture. In the days before electric lights, farmers depended on bright moonlight to extend the workday beyond sunset. This was the only way they could gather all their crops in time to sell at the market. The full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox became the Harvest Moon and usually, the Harvest Moon arrives a few days to weeks before or after the beginning of fall. The last time this awesome event occurred was Sept 23, 1991 and it won't happen again until the year 2029.

Palm Springs Time Warp: My 3 Days Inside a Mid-Century Modern Gem
Frederick Loewe Estate is a glass-walled, 5000 square-foot home built in 1956 for Frederick Loewe (you may have heard of the pair "Lerner and Loewe"), the composer behind such famous musicals as My Fair Lady, Gigi, Brigadoon and Camelot. He died in Palm Springs in 1988, and the home is no longer owned by his estate. So, it is unclear how much, if any, of the furniture is original. However, great pains have been made to preserve the aesthetic, with the original recording and stereo equipment, clubby bar area, fireplaces, appliances, and overall mid-century modern look intact. Of course, the bathrooms have been updated and the house has all the modern amenities you would expect for such a pricey rental. And while I am not certain the dining room furniture (Image #4) is typical of the 1950s, sitting in that magnificent setting for breakfast was extraordinary. The layout is ingenious; very open-plan and spacious, yet the bedrooms feel surprisingly private and remote. Set on a rocky hillside, the house offers 360 degree views of the San Jacinto Mountains, with the Coachella Valley below and fabulous landscaped grounds and paths all around. The architecture of homes like these in Southern California is quite remarkable; all of the glass and openness manage to seamlessly integrate the indoors with the surrounding landscape. It was hard for me to appreciate this until I spent sunrise to sunset inside such a home. The master bedroom (Images 5 and 6), where the bride and groom stayed, was massive. I could hardly focus on the view because I was so amazed at the bed, which Loewe had installed on a turntable to be rotated to follow the sunset! Built-in quarter sawn book cases line the walls, one of which also features a groovy paneled gas fireplace. More Info: Frederick Loewe Estate

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
Mayor Chen called Premier Jiang the evening of August 8 to express her thanks on behalf of the people of Kaohsiung to the central government and its ministries for disaster assistance and relief offered following the gas explosions of July 31 in Kaohsiung. She also took the opportunity to bring up the topic of future development of Taiwan's petrochemical industry, with a special emphasis on safety and security of the public. Chen suggested a meeting to exchange views with Jiang on the subject.
Sun noted that this is an issue of vital concern to the premier, saying that Jiang has instructed the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and other agencies to prepare materials for such a discussion. Jiang was briefed on August 13 by MOEA on current plans regarding future development of the industry but did not give out any final instructions at the time.
Sun added that the two will discuss current issues in the petrochemical industry and present a first round of instructions concerning planning and development. Personnel from the MOEA and relevant departments will also be on hand to provide data and offer suggestions to the two officials.
Sun explained that both Jiang and Chen realize that this first meeting will not produce a definitive solution to the directions and goals of the petrochemical industry in the future. By being ready to sit down and rationally face the problems, however, the two will be able to make a good start in finding solutions.
The MOEA has said it will again brief Premier Jiang the morning of August 20 on its plants for future development of the petrochemical industry.

For many years it has been recognized that the liver has as one of its functions a detoxifying action. It excretes certain heavy metals, dysentery toxin and ricin into the bile.1 It has been shown that the injection of phenol, benzoic acid and phenoltetrachlorphthalein in amounts which normally produce no reaction may prove fatal in hepatectomized dogs.1 It is known that in the absence of the liver amino acids injected into an animal are not destroyed.2 Numerous observers have suggested that the liver protects the body from both endogenous and exogenous poisons. The liver takes up the bulk of chemical poisons, removes chloroform and phenol from the organism and protects it against the alkaloids. Most of these actions of the liver are based on the so-called glycuronic acid synthesis, whereby glycogen unites with these substances to form corresponding acids which are removed by the kidney.

In an age of fat, high-tech, high-priced music making, the Cowboy Junkies are a lesson in lean. In November 1987, the Canadian quartet repaired to Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity with 11 songs, five sidemen and one microphone. Fourteen hours and $140 in expenses later they emerged with the makings of The Trinity Session, an LP that is a surprise commercial hit and has critics calling them this season's hippest thing on eight legs.
Six of those legs belong to people named Timmins: guitarist Michael, 29; brother Peter, 23, who bangs the drums, usually slowly; and sister Margo, 28, whose soft, haunting vocals lend a distinctive dash of angst to the Junkies' country sound. Bass player Alan Anton, 29, is not a Timmins but has known Michael since kindergarten. Their repertoire veers from Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight" to ultimate urbanist Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane," with many of the tunes reworked and played so slowly that they become "vaguely sinister" (Musician) or at the very least "desolate" (TIME).
To the obvious question, Michael has a ready answer. "No, we are nor depressed," he says. "Or melancholy or any of those things. We don't consider the music sad, just heartfelt. To us, it's very strange when people come up to us and say, 'You must be so depressed.' "
The Junkies are literally a garage band made good and so new to success that they resemble normal people more than rock stars. Michael and Alan formed bands together and worked drudge day jobs in New York City and
London during their late teens and early twenties. In 1985 they returned to Toronto and parked their musical experiments in Peter's garage. Margo, who had been working as a secretary, was invited to sing along. Their first homemade LP, Whites off Earth Now!, sold 4,000 copies, "distributed out of our bedroom," says Michael.
Although Trinity has so far sold half a million copies, the Junkies have yet to see the kind of money that makes wretched excess possible. Michael and Peter still live in the same house and share one record collection; Margo and Alan, who are married, but not to each other, live nearby. But the band realizes that with success come certain obligations—and plans to act accordingly. "Yup," says Peter, "we're all gonna get tattoos."
