How To Make Gender Reveal Cupcakes with Natural DyeMichelle Horton
"Gender Reveal" baked goods are skyrocketing in popularity. Skyrocketing!
The idea — in case you somehow haven't heard of it — is to invite your family and friends over for a Gender Reveal Party (usually around week 20, or whenever you have the gender reveal sonogram), and then use cupcakes or cake to reveal the gender.
Pink frosting inside? It's a girl! Blue frosting? It's a boy!
Yet if you're uncomfortable with food coloring, there's an easy way to make colored frosting without any artificial dyes.
As I mentioned before, I've been seriously slacking on baking since my first baby was born. (The hours I used to spend baking are now been used for wholesome dinners — go figure!) Which is why I turn to Pillsbury:
It's a Girl! 1 of 10All you need is a box of cupcake mix, vanilla frosting, and some beets. Yes, beets!
Natural Dye 2 of 10Just wash and peel the beets, cut them up, and stir them around in the vanilla frosting.
Pretty Pink! 3 of 10When you pick out all of the beets, you're left with this gorgeous hue. And because beets are naturally sweet, you won't taste any difference.
Cut Out a Cone Shape 4 of 10Careful not to cut right through the bottom.
Fill Them Up 5 of 10And carefully place the top back on. Then cover the cupcake in frosting to avoid any spoilers.
Perfect Pink Center 6 of 10Isn't the color so pretty?
My Favorite New Discovery 7 of 10And now I have to stop and explain why I love Pillsbury's Easy Frost. Not only does it create bakery-worthy cupcake frosting, but also...
? 8 of 10It's perfect for decorating! (Bakery artist I am not.) I love the little question mark for gender reveal cupcakes.
More Than Just Decorating 9 of 10It's also perfect for filling the inside of a cupcake! Of course you can't dye it blue or pink (bummer), but it's an easy cupcake filling solution.
Same Result, Two Ways 10 of 10And in case you're wondering, here's how the two cupcakes compare.
I know what you're thinking — what about boy cupcakes? Well I'll tell you: I thawed frozen blueberries (I know they rub off color much more than fresh blueberries), then pureed and strained them. But the color ended up being very…purple. So if anyone has a solution, please share!
The beets, though, worked out like a dream.
Thanks very much to Pillsbury for sponsoring this post and for providing Pillsbury products for me to have some fun with. Check out more posts in this campaign:

A 76-year-old man charged with shooting and killing his 13-year-old neighbor wants his case moved.
John Spooner is charged with first-degree intentional homicide for shooting Darius Simmons in June.
Spooner's attorney, Franklyn Gimbel told WISN 12 News because of "prejudice pre-trial publicity," they are asking for a jury from a different county or the trial to be moved to a different county.
Spooner accused Simmons of breaking into his home repeatedly and stealing guns.
His mother denies that claim.
A judge will decide on the change of venue motion in late December.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe? Really? Sub Zero vs. Batman? Really? Apparently so.
We knew it was coming, on account of the leakage power of the Internet, but the assembled media at the Red Rock hotel in Las Vegas, us included, still thought it might have been a joke - April Fools overspill perhaps - until Ed Boon himself took to the stage and the game's debut trailer kicked in across three massive screens.
The decision to pair Mortal Kombat with Batman, Superman and co is at the very least a surprising one. It's hard to work out if it's one of the coolest crossovers in gaming history or simply a gimmick. Ed Boon is certainly convinced, as we found out during our post-presentation interview with the beat-em-up legend. "I've always wanted to cross MK over since about MK4, or something like that," he says. "I'm a big fan of all of the other fighting games, Street Fighter, Tekken. I always thought, wouldn't it be cool to have MK vs. SF and MK vs. Tekken. We pursued some of those ideas to the extent that we could but we always ran into some kind of road block and couldn't do it. So our marketing people knew that we were interested in doing those kinds of things so they presented the DC Universe idea to us. We weighed the plusses and minuses of doing it but in the end the whole idea, the whole magic of having Batman and Sub Zero on the screen at the same time doing their moves against each other, prevailed over everything else."
How the gaming community reacts to the marrying of the Mortal Kombat and DC Universes is, however, the least of Ed's problems. What is of more concern is the reaction to the reduced violence. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is going to be a teen rated game. Despite what you may have heard, there may well be blood in the game, just not streams of gushing blood as we're used to seeing from the series. But, and this is the biggy, there won't be bone crunching, spine shattering fatalities. Instead, Ed intends to include finishing moves, which will work similarly to fatalities in that they will be spectacular attacks designed to finish your opponent, but they won't involve tearing Batman's head off, or pulling Superman's heart out and showing it to him.
This is all down to the collaboration with DC Comics of course. Ed says that he's in negotiations with the ESRB, America's game rating body, about what exactly T for Teen means these days, and is pushing to see exactly how much violence, blood and gore he can get out of the rating. "There's obviously a line that can't be crossed," he explains. "We're basically looking for that line to see what we can get away with. We don't want to lose the spirit of what MK is, very brutal, very intense, there's a certain amount of violence that's associated with MK. It's MK vs. DC, it's not just a DC game, so we want the spirit of MK and the spirit of DC. We don't know exactly what the answer is now because the game isn't finished. But that's something we're constantly working on."
This redirection seems at odds with Ed's vision for a darker, grittier Mortal Kombat, with fewer saturated colours and over the top gameplay mechanics (more on that later). But as soon as the idea was presented to him, Ed always knew a Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game would have to be much less of a gore fest than what's gone before. "We went into it knowing that that was going to be the case. I don't think we ever said, can we rip Batman's head off? We didn't even bother asking that." Much in the same way that car manufacturers are averse to allowing vehicle damage in racing games, DC Comics was never going to allow its standard bearers to have their limbs torn off by white-haired Gods.
The Internet, as you'd expect, has already delivered its verdict on the move, a bit like football managers ranting over a refereeing decision the second after the final whistle has blown. Perhaps as the dust settles on what is the eighth (has it really been that long?) game in the hugely popular Mortal Kombat series (the last game sold two million copies), and more gameplay details emerge, fans will begin warm to Ed's vision. Perhaps. But then, with a teen rating and the introduction of Batman and Superman, hardcore gamers, perhaps those who spent an unhealthy amount of time in grubby, early nineties arcades refining their six-string fatalities in front of a crowd, are perhaps not on Midway's demographic radar.
We're prepared to give Ed and MK vs. DCU a chance, a chance to convince us that improvements in gameplay will more than make up for the lack of gross violence. And that's because much of what Ed tells us makes sense. It makes sense to those who have grown tired of the series in recent years. It makes sense to those who played MK in its heyday - back when beat-em-ups ruled the world. It makes sense to those of us who thought the last MK game, 2006's Armageddon on the PS2, Xbox and Wii, was somewhat of a disappointment. Gone are the stance changes. Gone are the weapons. Gone is the high punch low punch combat system which has held true for so long. Gone are the masses of playable characters (Armageddon had over 60). And gone, to some extent, is the trademark gore.
In is a vastly reduced playable character roster ("Every single character is a known DC character, a known MK character. Because they're so iconic, we don't feel like we want to do the huge, massive roster. We just focus in on these core 20 characters"). In is a new combat system which sees switches in perspectives and controls. Take the Freefall Kombat, for example, which you can see in the game's debut trailer. Here two characters knock two lumps out of each other as they are falling from one level of the multi-tiered arenas to another. Then there's Klose Kombat, which involves another switch in perspective as the camera zooms up close and personal when you grab your opponent and drag them into a boxing mode. In is a tag team single-player mode that allows you to pick one character from the Mortal Kombat universe and one from the DC universe and see events unfold from two perspectives, in a story penned by comic veterans Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. We don't have many details on the story, but what we do know is that both factions are brought together by a "cataclysmic force" and end up fighting each other while the real threat goes about its world conquering business. Hey, this is a beat-em-up. Story is never the point.

The Giro D'Italia has been completed, and the Tour De France preceding Criterium du Dauphine has just finished. Yet before we even reached these landmarks of the calendar, the 2013 cycling season has already proven to be a memorable one.
In a season that—at least on the European scene—has been plagued by awful weather, there has been a typical mix of success stories alongside some big disappointments.
The year's second Grand Tour is only weeks away (beginning in Corsica on Saturday 29 June). Before attentions turn completely to the 100th edition of the famous race, now seems an appropriate time to look back through the year.
Here are some of the the notable "winners" and "losers" of the cycling season so far.

Yeah You Right: A New Orleans Manifesto
Speaker's Corner: After spending two months in NOLA writing a guidebook, Adam Karlin reflects on what makes the city as indispensable to the U.S. as Yellowstone and Manhattan
This creates desperate beauty, a sort of loveliness of the ephemeral. Because of desperate beauty the characters of this drama don't spend their lives day to day, but rather in the final act of some Russian romance, living so strongly they burn like fireflies making love over Bayou St. John. And that love of life comes from an acknowledgment—even embrace—of death. The Carnival season, for all the "Show your tits" silliness, has its roots in fundamentally Christian concepts of denial and resurrection, and in black New Orleans, Mardi Gras begins with the cold march of the Skeletons, men dressed as corpses carrying a sobering slogan: You Next. When medieval Christian theology mixes on the streets with processions that emerged straight from West African secret societies, I can tell you, with more fire than the angriest Republican, I am proud to be an American.
The city is also shaped, more than most, literally and figuratively, by her geography. From the marsh comes gumbo's ingredients, but amongst the sassafras were the Yellow Fever and floods that long made life here so short. The surrounding bayous are a moon-lapped orgy of tides, slipstreams, shorelines and storms, where time unfolds slowly and death snaps quickly, like geckos under ceiling fans. No wonder so many South Vietnamese settled here in the 1970s. For a fisherman from Vung Tao, the mouths of the Mississippi and the Mekong mix hardship, flatness, bounty and mudscent into one wind-bent green pancake of geographic equivalence.
All of these qualities—epicurean excess, Creole acceptance, entropic decay and natural topography—make New Orleans effortlessly what many American cities are straining to recapture: a place with a distinctive sense of place, as indispensable to our nation as Yellowstone and Manhattan. And that place almost died four years ago, when its neglected levee system failed and a moderately strong hurricane dumped the city under several feet of water.
Then something amazing happened. Many call New Orleanians laid-back at best, and I know more than a few natives who'd happily cop to being labeled lazy. But people who held on after the storm did so with a work ethic I'd be blessed to possess. They dredged rubble and corpses from their basements and rebuilt their homes and restaurants and bars with the debris of former lives (literally; visit the Mid-City Yacht Club, where the ceiling is built from the old floorboards of washed away neighbors). Thousands of "New New Orleanians" moved here, motivated to rebuild, a generation of 20- and 30-somethings whose only experience of Louisiana hurricanes may have been the Bourbon Street cocktail. Something about this place touched them, a feeling that there was more to the city than parties or corpses on CNN.
In New Orleans, phoenixes chased away the carrion crows.
Many came, in a sense, as travelers, seeking what the traveler most desires: a location that burns itself into the heart. But New Orleans burned too well. Sometimes, when a place is so special, it stops being a destination and evolves into a home. And home—a "where" that both feeds and urges you to feed back, a distinctness denied to so many Americans who've grown up in an amorphous nebula of strip malls, fast food, big boxes, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, a world of social interaction and anywhere businesses that can be transplanted everywhere, and thus exists nowhere—is something many Americans of my generation have missed. Home is what so many New Orleans transplants came to rebuild, but before they knew it they were on the cutting edge of green architecture, education policy and the local food movement. They were keeping what makes this city special, and waterproofing its soul all at once. Home wasn't rebuilt. It was reinvented.
When I left New Orleans—which took me two weeks of false starts and stops, I loved it so hard—and the orange lights of the city blurred into the graveyards and the humid air rushed into my mouth through open car windows, a billboard from a realtor loomed over the highway: "Home matters most."
Yeah. You right.

New Orleans is a great city. It's too bad about Hurricane Katrina and the U.S's lack of response. It's an area that's rich with history and ought to be preserved for generations to come.
Jill 08.28.09 | 11:51 AM ET
And this is exactly why I return to New Orleans three to four times a year. It sticks with you and never lets go.
Rachel 08.28.09 | 12:02 PM ET
Thank you Adam. You're a true Phoenix yourself.
Adele Tiblier 08.28.09 | 5:27 PM ET
So glad a fellow New Orleanian turned me on to this post. I am truly moved by your words, and its refreshing to see what so few can eloquently express about the affect that City has on those who eventually come to live here be it for a few days or a lifetime. It truly is HOME to eveyone that has the opportunity to experience it. Like any other city, it is plagued with its trial and tribulations, but there is so much culture, love and authenticity, that its easy to loose focus on those and to fall victim of the city's charm.
Joey 08.28.09 | 6:54 PM ET
Plagued is right. New Orleans is a disgusting cesspool of filth that I hope I never return to. The US should sell the whole place back to the French.
Lindsay Glatz 08.28.09 | 8:42 PM ET
Adam, it was a joy to read such touching words today.
It can be challenging for outsiders to understand the unique and often contradicting elements that combine to create our wonderful community, but you have captured New Orleans perfectly here. Your description of the city, after only a few short weeks here, is a testament to the gifts that those who seek to experience New Orleans with an open mind will discover.
I have am happy that we had the chance to meet and spend a few short hours together discussing New Orleans culture. I hope youll be pleased to know that in true New Orleans fashion, we at the Arts Council are preparing for the anniversary of Katrina through celebrations of the arts and culture of the city. We celebrate this somber moment with joy, because when you live in a community knowing that one storm could take it all away, you dont take life for granted.
Its obvious that here, you too, made every moment in this city count. Your article is a wonderful gift and provides the affirmation that while rebuilding New Orleans we have been able to retain the characteristics of the city that made it such a special place before the storm. Its been a hard road of recovery, but reading these words proves our efforts have been worthwhile. Youve demonstrated that the spirit and the soul of this city will never leave those who leave themselves open to her charms. I hope you can visit us again soon, but in the meantime I am honored to have you as ambassador for New Orleans, sharing the story of her magic with the world.
Many thanks are in order for sharing such a beautiful description of my home, but in this case I think what sums it up best is . Hey Adam, Yeah.You right.
Vera Marie Badertscher 08.28.09 | 9:49 PM ET
I love to read something where the writer gets it right. I nodded my head throughout, and particularly bobbed up and down at this beautiful line:
"Think gas lamps flickering on sweat and sunlight slanting through a Tulane coeds summer dress." Yeah, you right. right. right, man.
wandermom 08.29.09 | 2:02 AM ET
Oh for heavens sakes.
Yes, I agree that the Travel Writer has a right to wax lyrical about places s/he visits which touch his or her heart. But this is a lot of petty dribble. New Orleans has great history. New Orleans will be re-built - whether a sensible person would choose to do so in that location or not is an entirely different matter.
Dropping verbs in a given phrase is too loose an allegory for the meaning and intent of that effort for me.
And I totally fail to see how "medieval Christian theology" can make you more American. Seriously.
Eva Holland 08.30.09 | 12:51 PM ET
Thanks very much for this, Adam. "A location that burns itself into the heart" - nicely put. As a foreigner I haven't got the legal option to become a NOLA transplant myself, but the city certainly has its hooks in me.
Lindsay 08.31.09 | 10:05 AM ET
Jill-you are right- NOLA never leaves you ever! I love New Orleans. Its a tough city but it has a heart and never gives up.
This is an awesome article/story/whatever…thank you! :)
Ellalee 09.01.09 | 12:53 PM ET
If you don't "get" New Orleans, and it doesn't "get" you, either you did it wrong or you were born without a soul.
Fritz Paul 10.06.09 | 11:04 PM ET
I would like to visit New Orleans
Theresa McIntyre 10.07.09 | 1:30 PM ET
I would love to visit New Orleans I have a son that lives there. Would love to see him how he is doing now!

Allergies To Blame For David Price's Struggles?
ST. PETERSBURG -- David Price underwent an allergy test Tuesday morning and received nasal spray and eye drops, which he hopes will clear up his blurry vision and help the rashes he's been dealing with since early January.
"It was terrible. It [stinks]," Price said. "It still does. It's getting better."
Could that also have had something to do with Price's sluggish start to the season, including his 1-3 record and 4.78 ERA? The southpaw admitted there have been times this year where he's had to step off the mound because he couldn't see which signs the catcher was putting down, but he wouldn't use his vision as an excuse.
"I would never say yes," Price said.

Two years ago, Billie Joe Armstrong was driving into Manhattan when he came across a throng of protesters. Outraged by a Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer for the killing of Michael Brown, they filled the streets and backed up traffic for miles. Armstrong was inspired.

Today is Siblings Day. It was created to honor the special relationships that we have with our siblings. Often our oldest friends, siblings share our ties to our past, and special bonds that last forever.
I grew up as one of four sisters, each two years apart. My sisters are my best friends and my greatest confidantes. I'm number two, so number three and I used to joke that we were the double filling inside an Oreo.

Poll: Twins in your family tree?
Do you ever find yourself seeing double?
There's been a peak in twin births, particularly in the US. A report by the National Center for Health Statistics indicates that the twin birth rate rose 76% since 1980, and in 2009, one in every 30 babies born in the US was a twin.
In the past, we've written about twins, and the MyHeritage family even has its own set of twins!
With the celebration of National Siblings Day yesterday, we want to know how many of you have twins in your family history. Let us know!
National Siblings Day: Honoring brothers and sisters
When looking at family history, we often first look at who we descend from, our parents, our grandparents and their parents.
Yet some of the most important people who shape our lives are those with whom we grow up every day.
Today, April 10, is National Siblings Day. It celebrates the impact our brothers and sisters had or have on us and how much we appreciate them.
The day was founded by Claudia A. Evart through a non-profit charity, Siblings Day Foundation, in 1998, to honor the memory of her late sister and brother who died in accidents at an early age.
Siblings are our closest family members, other than our parents, with whom we grew up with every day; the bonds we share with them last forever.

Atlanta's John Marshall Law School
June 5, 2012
The Champion, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, p. 30, June 2012
Public Defenders fall short of their obligations to clients every day for reasons beyond their control. However, constantly failing to be able to achieve justice for those they are charged with serving can drive even the most committed public defenders from the profession. This article reframes the definition of success for public defenders and seeks to inspire those who do the work to continue fighting to make Gideon's promise a reality.

Sound: Now this is Gamma Ray at its best! This album was released in 1999 and is according to me the most successful Gamma Ray album ever. This album has got everything. Beautiful intro, a pause, and then a mighty refrain, was at this time (1999) Gamma Ray's speciality. This album contains power metal through the whole album. The guys have also written a nice ballad and done covers on "Long Live Rock 'n Roll" and "It's A Sin". // 9
Lyrics: The lyrics are dealing with our universe, dreaming, skies, hell etc. They're also about "he" or "him" an undefined creature that Gamma Ray seems to depend on, because "he" has occured in the lyrics in many of GR's albums. The lyrics fit quite well with the music but it could fit better. The singer Kai Hansen is very good, he has that kind of "evil" voice, almost roaring and that voice fits very well to the music style. And as all the other melodies in power metal they demand high-pitching and have nice harmonies. // 8
Overall Impression: This is a good metal album and it has a variety of music styles inside the power metal genre, everything from raw metal with nothing but drums, dist guitars and bass, to melodic "modern" metal with a bit synth and backing "oohs" (choir). The best song in this album is "Gardens Of The Sinner", which is a raw song. "Send me a Sign" is also a very good song, with a more mellow style. If I accidentally would brake this album I'd order a new one the next day, because this album is great! // 9

The same notebook but with a 12" or 13" screen - that's what I need for the next upgrade. My workstation in the office runs with 26" monitor, no need for huge notebook as an add-on for my travel gear.
"18.4-inch laptop"? that's not a laptop, that's a desktop. Who has a lap that large =)
If I had to buy such a large laptop I think I'd better buy a desktop.
Why has it taken so long for laptop manufacturers to come up with this? I also agree with the comments above - 18.4" is crazy.
Sony should make a smaller version, or better yet, Apple's new MacBook Pro's should include this technology ;)
So you guy's think 18.4" is big for a laptop? try looking at the HP HDX. That thing is dinasour 20" screen and weighs almost 16 pounds. You need a suitcase and a tow truck to drag that monster around.
this is a big boy
We are into 18ins laptops this winter
With a 1080p screen display linked to your Sony tv
At a price £2499
I have one, the AW190, with the 18.4" 1080p screen. It's not crazy, it's amazing!! Why would you want to work on a 15" screen when you can have an 18.4"? I love it.
That's great that Sony has launched a laptop fot its professional Photographers........
Sony laptop is the best in the computer world
18.4 inches is not too big for a pro photographer and although its not easily portable it is portable. Its a good compromise!
I am happy to read your blog and admit the webmaster has done a very good job by putting all
the information content at one place. I'd like to recommend it with reference to my website http://www.pctechoutlet.com
What so special with this laptop? Photographers can use any machines as long the monitors are calibrated.
This laptop is for PHOTOGRAPHERS for God sakes, NOT COLOR-BLIND people!
I checked it, it is a great laptop. Only one improvement is needed "immediately" - that is the ironic lack of color on the laptop. Black color is good for the color-blind, and ancient-fashionable people. And definitely Not for photographers.
What happens that when it comes to North-American market, all colors go dull or black. Meanwhile the sales people in North-America admit that the white and colored laptops go in the first week or two of the sales while the dull gray, silver and black colors linger till last days of clearance!
Hope for a happier crew in North America, too!
thats a nice piece of equipment. I thought it would be a little big but yeah you right its a good size for a photographer!
This laptop is fantastic, I bought 2 years ago and I still have it and works perfectly. The only thing I had problem with was the battery charger, but I found one for 20 dollars on amazon!
Im a professional photographer and I can tell you that as a good photographer you cant miss this fantastic laptop. Is ideal for every situation
I have to say that Sony is one of the best brand for Laptop (and even TV!). I had many laptops but the Sony ones are still working fine, while the others gave me only a bunch of problems
This is my all time favorite laptop due to it's perfect mix of power and useable functionality. Very well thought out general purpose laptop with many features and input/ output options that you would not expect at this price range. Add to that the generous helping of memory and hard drive disc space and it is hard to beat!
Hi Guys,
I've bought it recently. To be short - the screen
quality is rubbish and that was their top quality full-hd with RGB! It's simply not able to reproduce any details in shadows and b-&-w images look horrible with lots of color patterns in shadows. That's a sexy laptop for a houswife not for a pro on the go and definetly not for any photographer. I was so much dissappointed by this laptop!
Sony is now way better than HP. I have a VAIO and I wouldnt substitute it for any other laptop. Top Notch in every aspect. Just remember to have a good antivirus and you are good to go

Burned Glue Owl Decor

Create a one-of-a-kind craft project using an old-school technique when you make your own Burned Glue Owl Decor. You might think it's hard to make glue crafts at home but it's actually unbelievably easy. Start with a simple wooden figure - that's all it takes.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Wood owl (purchased at Michaels)
- Black acrylic paint
- Paint brush
- Card stock (for beak)
- Scissors
- Emergency (or plumber's) candle
- Matches
- Paper towel
- Antiquing medium (Rub 'n Buff or Lumiere paints work great)
- Large flat buttons (black)
- Flat back marbles (clear or color of your choice)
Cut triangle shape from card stock for beak. Paint black. Let dry. Fold down center to create dimension. Set aside.
Paint entire wood owl. Let dry.
Liberally spread Aleene's Original Tacky Glue onto front of wood owl with finger. Glue should be thick enough that you do not see the black painted surface underneath.
Light candle. Hold candle in one hand and owl in other hand. Position glue side right above candle flame. Keep moving owl over candle flame until entire surface is blackened from the heat of the flame. (Be certain that you protect work surface because candle wax will drip during this technique.) The heat from the flame will blacken the glue and create a skin on the glue. If any cracks develop in the glue, continue to hold above the flame and blacken that area. You should have a thick skin on the glue with wet glue underneath the skin.
Use paper towel to lightly wipe away the soot and gently push wrinkles and ridges into the glue skin. Because the glue underneath the skin is still wet, it should be easy to create this texture. (If you are unable to create texture, it means that your application of glue was too thin. You can go back and add a second (thicker) coat of glue and repeat the burning process.)
Continue to use the paper towel to wipe away any remaining soot. Let glue dry completely.
Dip finger into antiquing medium. Use paper towel to remove excess antiquing and then run finger lightly over the ridges in the glue. The antiquing medium will highlight the ridges. Apply as lightly or intense as desired. Let dry.
- Glue buttons in place for eyes. Glue marbles in place over buttons. Glue beak in place. Let dry.
- This burning technique does produce soot. Work in well ventilated area and take necessary precautions.

Refill special medications.
Get cash (ATMs may not work for days after). Don't charge credit cards to the limit; you might need extra cash after the storm.
Get supplies. Follow instructions in this guide for food and water.
Don't fill gasoline cans until right before the storm; they are a fire hazard.
Fill vehicle fuel tank. Gas stations could run out and some will not have power to run pumps. Check your car's battery, water, oil. Make sure you have a spare tire and buy aerosol kits that fix and inflate flats.
Check fire extinguishers.
If you own a boat, make necessary preparations.
Prepare your pool. Don't drain it.
If you own a plane, have it flown out or secured.
Get shutters, storm panels or plywood in place on windows. If you haven't installed sockets, attach with wood screws; they're better than nails and do less damage.
Don't tape windows; tape can create daggers of glass and in the heat can later bake onto panes.
Remove swings and tarps from swing sets. Tie down anything you can't bring in. Check for loose rain gutters, moldings.
Move grills, patio furniture and potted plants into your house or garage.
If you do any last-minute pruning, take clippings inside so they don't become hazards in the wind.
Disconnect and remove satellite dish or antenna from your roof.
Check your mailbox. If it's loose, secure or remove it.
Remove roof turbines and cap holes with screw-on caps. Unsecured turbines can fly off and create a large hole for rain to pour through.
Prepare patio screening. It usually is built to sustain tropical-force winds, but with higher winds, it can separate from the frame. Officials recommend you remove a 6-foot panel on each side to let wind pass through. Pull out the tubing that holds screening in frame to remove screen.
Secure and brace external doors, especially the garage door and double doors.
Move vehicles out of flood-prone areas and into garages if possible. If not, park cars away from trees and close to homes or buildings.
Don't turn off your natural gas at the main meter. Only emergency or utility people should do that.

SL Industries, Inc. Announces Financial Results for Its First Quarter Ended March 31, 2008
MT. LAUREL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SL INDUSTRIES, INC. (AMEX & PHLX:SLI) announced today that revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $45,361,000, compared to $48,327,000 for the first quarter last year. Income from continuing operations was $1,346,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $2,038,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007. In addition, loss from discontinued operations was $212,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $371,000 for the same period last year. As a result, for the period ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded net income of $1,134,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1,667,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
The Company reported net new orders of $53,189,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to net new orders of $52,440,000 in the first quarter of 2007. Backlog at March 31, 2008 was $61.3 million, as compared to $57.3 million a year earlier.
Commenting on the results, James Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of SL Industries, said, "The Company's disappointing results were largely driven by lower performance of the Power Electronics Group. SL Power Electronics experienced decreased bookings and sales due to the reduction of two significant customer programs, as well as generally weak demand within the marketplace. The lower sales volume at SL Power Electronics resulted in a corresponding reduction of operating income. Despite the disappointing quarterly result, the outlook for SL Power Electronics remains excellent. Teal Electronics posted strong bookings and increased backlog, but reported lower sales and earnings relative to an unusually strong first quarter in 2007."
"MTE Corporation, which is also within the Power Electronics Group, experienced strong demand in the natural resources recovery market and performed well."
Taylor continued, "SL Montevideo Technology continued its growth in the first quarter, with increased commercial and military aerospace programs driving consistent bookings and sales growth over the period. Moreover, the operational changes that began last year are now yielding significant improvements to gross margin and working capital management. As lean manufacturing principles are expanded through the organization, SL-MTI should become more productive over the rest of the year."
"RFL Electronics reported improved results in the first quarter on relatively consistent sales of its power protection products. Period activity was largely comprised of smaller, aftermarket orders. Increased fuel costs have adversely impacted demand in the electric utility market, further dampening capital investment by the industry."
Taylor concluded, "As previously announced, the Board of Directors has established May 14, 2008 as the date of the Annual Shareholders Meeting for shareholders of record on March 28, 2008. The meeting will be held at the offices of Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York at 1:00 P.M., Eastern Time. We look forward to discussing the Company's businesses with our shareholders at that time."
SL Industries, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets power electronics, power motion, power protection, teleprotection and communications equipment and systems that is used in a variety of medical, aerospace, computer, datacom, industrial, telecom, transportation and electric power utility equipment applications.

"The Engaged American Scholar in Times of War and Peace," proposed panel for the 2004 Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association
Individuals interested in serving as panelists should respond to this by December 31, 2002. The AHA submission deadline for complete panels in February 15, 2003.
Proposed paper title: "Social and Political Thought of W.E.B. Du Bois in Times of War and Peace"
Additional information:
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was one of the most influential 20th-Century American scholars and social and political activists. His long and productive life, which spanned the years form 1868 - 1963, encompassed the eras of the post-Civil War Reconstruction, the Spanish American War, the two World Wars, the Korean Conflict, the Cold War and early U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The evolution of Du Bois' thinking on war and peace is clearly documented in his extensive manuscript records and published works and in the records of the many organizations and movements with which he was affiliated. I am interested in assembling a panel of scholars who will consider the social and political activism of Du Bois and other intellectuals in times of war, their involvement in 20th-century peace movements and the federal government's, colleagues' and general public's reactions to their work.

This summer, my talented colleague Tim Johnston, who also happens to be NPower's Chief Technology Officer was invited by our client the Eurasia Foundation to attend a staff meeting in Istanbul. As you can imagine, this engagement was quite a coup for our little 'ole DC based organization.
Glamour aside, the interesting thing about this engagement is that the Eurasia Foundation faces many of the same challenges that we all face. Namely, how do we ensure that information is shared across the organization and get everyone on the same page? Or, to put it more technically - what in world do we do with all of this data!
Data is one of those tricky things. Did you ever notice how it seems to take on a life of it's own? We've all had the experience of rushing in vain to get out a grant for a funder or pulling out our hair over the prospect of creating a report on our program results.
Well, I'm here to say that, like the Eurasia Foundation, you're not alone! You can find and use a tool that will help you to master your organizational information and share it widely. And it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.
If you're currently in the market for a database solution, I urge you to check out Idealware's upcoming webinar on the topic. And as always, feel free to give us a call.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
"Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local whois DB must be out of date."
Which tipped me off that they were probably about to be released. So I setup an ExpireFish.com account to monitor these domains. Today, ExpireFish notified my through e-mail that it had actually caught one of the domains and registered it for me.
I did some snooping around, and from what I can tell, the WHOIS info on the domain it caught still hasn't changed from reading:
"Domain not found locally, but Registry points back to local DB.
Local whois DB must be out of date."
My question is, how did ExpireFish know the domain I had it monitoring was available – where is it looking to see that the domain is available?
The other domain I have ExpireFish monitoring is the one I really want and I want to do everything I can to make sure I get it. If I was going to "beat the system" and beat ExpireFish (just to say that I did ;) ), what is the best way to see if a domain is available? I would assume it would the WHOIS database of the dommain registrar, but in this case it doesn't seem so. And help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated. :)
Registrars do not use whois to see if a domain is available. They use RRP (Registry to Registrar Protocal). If you want to see if the domain is available you will need to use the API of a Registrar. ExpireFish is a eNom Reseller. So they are using eNom's API to access the RRP.
Hope that helps.
You would not get more timely access to the same info that the whois provides. But with the RRP check command you could see if the domain is available again 24 hours before the whois shows it. Then you could register the domain all before the whois shows anything.
Lisa - saw your profile & though that you do look like Justin Saphiro of lonely planet -are you?
You do say u like to travel :) :)
Justin who? You think I look like a boy? Yeah I like to travel, it would be boring to stay in one place.

Openly gay speaker appeared at inauguration
One person who spoke to the hundreds of thousands at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday was the Rev. Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopal Bishop whose ordination created a rift in his church.
The problem was, no one on TV saw it, as it was not included as part of HBO's televised coverage. In fact, shortly after he finished his prayer, the HBO logo with its booming theme music was beamed across the screens for the masses, signalling showtime.
The irony is that Robinson had helped diffuse another flap. After Barack Obama endured a wave of criticism in the gay community for selecting the Rev. Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the swearing in ceremony, his inaugural committee announced that Robinson would deliver a prayer at the kickoff.
"Another red flag for the gays, and the guy isn't even in office yet," writes Patrick McDonald of the LA Weekly blog Queertown. Other criticism came on Towleroad and AfterElton.
Josh Earnest, communications director for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said in a statement: "We had always intended and planned for Rt. Rev. Robinson's invocation to be included in the televised portion of yesterday's program. We regret the error in executing this plan – but are gratified that hundreds of thousands of people who gathered on the mall heard his eloquent prayer for our nation that was a fitting start to our event."
Given the sheer reverence given to Obama, Robinson may also have helped him out in tempering expectations — something that will be critical in the First Hundred Days.
Robinson said in his prayer, "Our president is a human being and not a messiah."
