A Festive Donut CakeKelsey Banfield
The other day I read this cute post on Cup of Jo about donut cakes. Since my husband is celebrating his birthday this week I thought we might get in on the action and make one. It is the perfect thing to do with little kids since all they have to do is stack the donuts and pop in the candles. My daughter and I opted for a selection of donuts to make our cake colorful and festive. I also think monochrome like all sugar donuts or all powdered donuts would look really cool too!
How to Make a Donut Cake
10 (at least) donuts of your choosing
Cake Stand or Platter
To assemble your donut cake: Arrange your donuts in a pyramid with four donuts on the bottom, then three donuts on top of that, two donuts on top, and one donut at the very top. We opted for one single candle, but several candles stuck all around would look really cute too!
*If you want to give your donut cake a super pretty look shower the whole thing with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few colorful sprinkles!

Big Science is the 1982 debut album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson and the first of a 7-album deal she signed with Warner Bros. Records. It is best known for the 8-minute epic "O Superman", which reached #2 in the UK. The album is minimalist and monochrome in sound, and like a great deal of Anderson's work is based largely on spoken word. It is a selection of highlights from her eight-hour production, United States Live, which was itself released as a 5-LP box set and book in 1984. United States Live was originally a performance piece, in which music was only one element. After Big Science music played a larger role in Anderson's work.[1]
Although considered her debut album, Anderson had previously recorded one side of a 2-LP set titled You're the Guy I Want to Share My Money With, a collaboration released on Giorno Poetry Systems with William S. Burroughs and John Giorno. She had also contributed two pieces to a 1977 compilation of electronic music.
A newly remastered version of the album was released on 18 June 2007 by Nonesuch/Elektra Records with new liner notes, and, in the data portion of the CD, the bonus track "Walk the Dog" (B-Side of the original "O Superman" single) and the "O Superman" video.
The album has been sampled in a number of hip hop songs:
- "From the Air" was sampled by Mr. Lif in the song "Home of the Brave" on his Emergency Rations EP. The song deals with political repercussions of September 11, 2001, playing off the original song's description of a plane crash.
- "Raspberry Fields" by Cannibal Ox contains a sample from "Sweaters".
- "This about the City" by cLOUDDEAD contains a sample from the song "Big Science".
- Brief snippets of "O Superman" were used by Cut Chemist in the introduction to his song "Spat".
Slant Magazine listed the album at #44 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s".[2]

Arctostaphylos (arkto bear + staphyle grape) is a genus of plants comprised by the manzanitas and bearberries. They are Shrubs or small Trees.
There are about 60 species of Arctostaphylos, ranging from ground-hugging arctic, coastal, and mountain species to small trees up to 6 m tall. Most are Evergreen (one species Deciduous), with small oval Leaves 1-7 cm long, arranged spirally on the stems. The flowers are bell-shaped, white or pale pink, and borne in small clusters of 2-20 together; flowering is in the spring. The fruit are small berries, ripening in the summer or autumn. The berries of some species are edible.
The leaves have long been used as a tonic and diuretic, useful in the treatment of kidney and balldder ailments. In parts of North America, both settlers and indigenous people smoked the leaves, either alone or mixed with tobacco.
Arctostaphylos species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora arctostaphyli (which feeds exclusively on A. uva-ursi) and Coleophora glaucella.
Popular Cultivated Species
Kinickinnik Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Bearberry Arctostaphylos alpina
Manzanita Arctostaphylos viscida
Manzanitas, the bulk of Arctostaphylos spp., are present in the chaparral biome of western North America, where they occur from southern British Columbia in Canada, Washington to California and New Mexico in the United States, and throughout much of northern and central Mexico.
Three species, the bearberries, Arctostaphylos alpina (Alpine Bearberry), Arctostaphylos rubra (Red Bearberry) and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Common Bearberry), have adapted to arctic and subarctic climates, and have a circumpolar distribution in northern North America, Asia and Europe.
An unusual association of Manzanita occurs on Hood Mountain, in Sonoma County, California, where stands of pygmy forest dominated by Mendocino Cypress are found.
Cultivation is generally difficult due to fungal diseases, and often salinity and alkalinity. Overhead watering should be avoided in hot weather. Some cultivars are easier to grow.

Pope John XXIII
Born: Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli
Preceded by: Pius XII (1939 - 1958)
Succeeded by: Paul VI (1963 - 1978)
Roman Catholic Pope #262
Born: November 25, 1881 (Rome, Italy)
Died: June 3, 1963
Pope: October 28, 1958 - June 3, 1963 (4 years, 7 months)
Pope John XXIII held office for only 5 years, but he remains one of the most popularly beloved popes in the history of the Roman Catholic Church - not only by Catholics but also by non-Catholics. He had spent 25 years as a papal diplomat for Bulgaria, Turkey and France, and six years as archbishop of Venice, not being elected pope until he was 77.
Pope John XXIII is perhaps best known for convening the second ecumencial council at the Vatican, known as Vatican II. What is particularly important to remember about Vatican II is that it differed from previous councils in a very important manner. Whereas earlier councils were typically convened in order to correct some doctrinal error which was becoming too popular, John XXIII specifically rejected this as his purpose. According to him, "Nowadays men are condemning [errors] of their own accord."
Instead, he envisaged a council which would postive instead of negative. He wanted a council which promoted mercy, faith and the pastoral role of the church rather than simply strict adherence to a new statement of orthodoxy. As a consequence, it was also fundamentally ecumenical in nature - John reached out to representatives of other Christian groups (for example, he also created a Secretariat for Christian Unity in 1960). This ecumenical effort was an important reason why he became so popular among non-Catholics.
He even went so far as to label Vatican II a "new Pentecost," which not only communicated his vision of it as a new beginning, but also represented the role which the Holy Spirit played in his religious life and in his religious style. For John, Christianity was not simply a matter of legalisms and doctrines but rather a way of living in communion with the love of God. This was an important reason for why he became so popular among Catholics.
A primary purpose of Vatican II was the goal of updating Catholic doctrines and practices to achieve more harmony with the various discoveries and advancements which had occurred during the previous centuries. He saw the Holy Spirit at work in things like the end of colonialism and the growing rights of the working class, and he wanted to be sure that the Catholic Church was not left behind due to inappropriate adherence to outdated ideas. This would require a "change in mentalities, ways of thinking and prejudices" - something which has not even yet been fully achieved, but nevertheless something which John felt the Catholic Church fully capable of.
However, even though he realized that Vatican II would require fundamental changes in how people thought, he still encountered more opposition than he actually expected. He gave his full approval of the early, draft texts prepared for the council. Despite this, traditionalists managed to effect major changes which drastically reduced the progressive nature of what was being considered.
Important to the development of a stronger ecumencial atmosphere was the defeat of a very traditional notion that "error has no rights." This belief had long been a major stumbling block not only to Catholic participation in ecumenical efforts, but also support of religious rights and political democracy.
John XXIII also made an unusual foray into contemporary politics during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. With the United States an the Soviet Union on the brink of nuclear war, John mad an impassioned plea over the Vatican Radio: "We beg all rulers not to be deaf to the cry of humanity." This may have played a role in Nikita Krushchev's decision to back down, because it could have allowed him to do so without entirely losing face.
On September 23, 1962, an X-ray revealed that John XXIII was suffering from an advanced case of stomach cancer, an illness which would take his life the following year. This information was not revealed to the public because John still hoped to continue guiding the Vatican II council for as long as possible.

Popes and the Papacy: History, Doctrines, News About Popes
The pope may be the most visible and famous symbol of the Catholic Church. It is the office of the papacy and the assumed link back to the original apostles that differentiates Roman Catholicism from other Christian denominations. The office of the papacy is rather complicated and, much to the chagrin of believers, comes with a rather checkered past.
Pope John Paul II: Biography, History, and Policies
John Paul II has been one of the longest-lived and most influential popes in the history of the Catholic Church. For good or for ill, his policies and personality have helped shape not only the current character of Catholicism but also the direction Catholicism will take for generations to come. Because of that, it's important to take the time to carefully consider what his policies have been and how they have affected Catholics around the world.

Every human is mortal, and that includes popes. Some live and reign for extraordinarily long times while others only serve for a few days, but in the end all die and a new pope must be elected. How are papal elections run? A papal election is a process that is shrouded in secrecy; the details of any one election are supposed to be kept hidden, but general information is known.
Book Reviews: Roman Catholic Popes, Papacy, History
Who or what is the pope? The title pope stems from the Greek word papas, which simply means "father." Early in Christian history it was used as a formal title expressing affectionate respect for any bishop and sometimes even priests. Today it continues to be used in Eastern Orthodox churches for the patriarch of Alexandria.

Examining Hobby Lobby's entrails
April 1, 2014 - Harry Eagar
PLEASE SEE CORRECTION AT END The sanctimonious owners of Hobby Lobby should have expected they would have every last detail of their behavior examined once they decided someone had appointed them the controllers of the personal behavior of their employers.
The results have been what we expect from sanctimonious God-botherers: They don't come close to what they claim.
First it was revealed that they had been buying contraceptives, like Ella, that they said they abhor. No surprise there. When the Catholic bishops made a similar claim they were caught out, too.
Now it is revealed that they also invested part (most, actually) of the pension money they control into mutual funds that own, among other things, abortion drug manufacturers. I don't take this as seriously as the earlier discovery that they and the bishops had, in fact, done what the government was now requiring them to do without, it appears, being struck down by an angry Jehovah. It is not easy being a monomaniac in modern society, whether one wants to be a vegan or a religious bigot. We are too interconnected.
But the Mother Jones report offers a couple of factoids that are worthy of note.
One is that the pension fund for 13,000 people, evidently around $100 million, is awfully small. The Greens are not required to have one at all, but that works out to less than $8,000 per worker. Sounds like they are counting, one way or another, on big gummint intrusion into their workers' lives at some point.
Second is this:
"In their Supreme Court complaint, Hobby Lobby's owners chronicle the many ways in which they avoid entanglements with objectionable companies. Hobby Lobby stores do not sell shot glasses, for example, and the Greens decline requests from beer distributors to back-haul beer on Hobby Lobby trucks."
Recall that the Greens claim their objections are based on their sincere religious beliefs as Roman Catholics.
Sorry, as an ex-Catholic I can say confidently that there is no Catholic moral objection to beer or to whatever it is that is served in shot glasses.
What this amounts to is a sworn admission by the Greens that they do not manage their company according to any religious doctrine but are merely a pair of busybodies and common scolds.
The Greens are not Catholics, they are holy rollers. I was misled by their meeting with the pope. Most Oklahoma holy rollers consider the pope the Antichrist and his church the whore of Babylon. I guess the Greens are liberals.
Therefore, it is possible that the Greens do, in fact, profess a religion that considers beer immoral.
If so, I don't think we need to consider the merits of their like belief in the immorality of contraceptives. They are moral imbeciles. Sincere imbeciles, peehaps, but imbeciles nevertheless.

Hobby Lobby is about as morally consistent as Harry Eager lol. When you are gonna address the presidents atrocious civil liberties record, war on whistleblowers, and illegal drone war?

The free market solution is to simply make birth control an OTC pill.
But those who favor big government and pointless regulation want to protect doctors and other wealthy professions from competition.
Women aren't smart enough to make their own decisions, the logic goes. The government has to "protect" women from making the wrong decision by forcing them to get a prescription.

Interdisciplinary Arts & Technology - Portfolio Review Criteria
adopted May 21, 2010
Portfolio Elements
There are five elements to submit for portfolio review: three creative projects, a written statement, and an unofficial transcript.
Three Creative Projects
Submit three creative projects developed in at least two different Pre-IAT Studio courses:
- Art 218 / 2D Design Strategies
- Film 222 / Basic Elements of Video
- Film 255 / Introduction to Digital Arts
- Music 327 / Analog and Digital Synthesis I
Select projects that represent your best artistic work, and that reflect the range of your work and interests. Projects should be tightly focussed, communicate a clear concept to the viewer, and reflect a spirit of experimentation. They should be exploratory in nature, seeking to transcend or critique the conventions of commercial and vernacular forms. (Advertising, music videos, and pop songs will not be considered).
Time-based projects may be narrative, in which case the theme of the work, and the relationship between form and content, will be critical to the success of the project. Or they may be abstract, in which case values like formal design, shot framing/sound design, sound-image relationships/musical counterpoint, editorial pacing, and rhythm will be most important. Please limit each time-based project in your portfolio to four minutes or less.
Evaluation of two-dimensional projects will be based upon concept, composition, use of color, demonstration of proficiency with the tools and media used, and other design criteria.
Written Statement
Write one paragraph per portfolio project describing the conceptual issues you chose to address, your creative process for the project, and interesting problems or challenges you encountered and resolved in the course of the work.
Write a one page statement of intent which discusses your artistic goals, your educational objectives, and the themes and ideas which connect your current and recent art projects. Additionally, discuss which classes you plan to take within the upper-level Arts/Tech curriculum, and how you expect to relate the content of those courses to your artistic practice.
Unofficial Transcript
Please use PAWS to generate an unofficial transcript, and include it in your portfolio submission.
Submission Format
All of your digitally-based projects should be submitted on optical media - a single CD-ROM or DVD-ROM containing files for review is preferred; multiple audio CDs/video DVDs/CDROMs are also acceptable. Please test your files and your optical media prior to submission to make sure that all discs are readable and all media files play correctly. Any interlaced video should be de-interlaced for presentation.
As an alternative to submitting optical media, you may upload files to Pantherfile, and send links to the portfolio coordinator for review. Projects not in a digital medium should be presented as appropriate; please contact the portfolio coordinator in advance to arrange submission of these materials.
Your written statement should be typed; both written statement and unofficial transcript should be submitted as PDF files.
Don't worry about making the physical submission of your portfolio attractive or artistic in its own right; generally speaking, the review committee reviews submissions without ever seeing the physical presentation of the portfolio.
Evaluation Criteria
Ambition - the portfolio work should:
- demonstrate the pursuit of challenge through unusual or unfamiliar forms, provocative content and a display of curiosity and innovation.
- demonstrate the student's ability to think and work fluidly with various media.
- involve conceptual innovation leading to original expression.
- innovatively explore a topic or subject matter in a manner that stimulates new ways of thinking.
- reflect the development of a student's personal artistic voice.
- reflect a willingness to aggressively pursue technical competencies and the capacity to solve artistic and technical problems.
- demonstrate an attentiveness for and engagement in the theoretical, social and artistic influences and consequences of digital technologies in a global culture.
- demonstrate the development toward an understanding of formal qualities that add up to original expressive content.
- display an informed artistic expression that engages process, experimentation, editing, and organization.
- reflect a concern for structural forms that support communication.
Technical competencies - the portfolio work should:
- reflect a willingness to explore and an active curiosity about technology and its use in artmaking.
- reflect a consideration and exploration of how content and form are embedded in the technological manifestation of an artwork.
Some shortfalls to avoid:
- Failure to pose a question, perception, or situation to explore, learn about, or account for.

Portfolio Frequently Asked Questions
Which courses should I take to help me put together my portfolio?
Start with the "Inter-Arts/IAT Core" courses: Art 118, Film 116, Music 220, and Dance 321. Then, take the "Pre-IAT Studio" courses: Art 218, Film 222, Film 255, and Music 327. All three projects must have been developed in these four courses; include projects from at least two different courses in your portfolio.
Are the portfolio requirements the same as the final project requirements for pre-portfolio classes?
No - the criteria that your instructors use to grade these works are not necessarily the criteria listed above for the portfolio review. If you know that you want a class project to serve as part of your portfolio, you should plan from the very beginning of the project to address the criteria presented here. (You'll also have to plan to meet your instructor's requirements for the class). The two sets of criteria are almost always compatible, but they are not the same.
When should I submit my portfolio?
You should be able to submit your portfolio after three semesters; transfer students may be able to reduce that time in some circumstances. Students who have passed portfolio review gain access to all the Arts/Tech upper-level course offerings — as soon as you complete the Inter-Arts Core and Pre-Portfolio classes, you'll want to submit your portfolio so you can continue your studies in the Arts/Tech program.
Please note that students who have not passed portfolio review will be administratively dropped from the Arts/Tech Junior and Senior Project courses.
How can I get help with my portfolio? Who do I go to with additional questions?
As of Fall 2012, David Witzling (firstname.lastname@example.com) is coordinating the portfolio review process; he is available to answer any questions you may have about the portfolio process, and can provide you with counselling and critique prior to your submission. The instructors of your pre-portfolio classes will also be happy to help you develop projects with the portfolio review in mind.
Can I use sampled or copyrighted material in my work?
Please obtain permission from the author or rights holder for any copyrighted material included in your portfolio submissions. Make sure that your use of such material is transformative, looking at it from a new perspective or in a new context from its original use. Portfolio works should represent a statement of your authorship and creativity.
What happens if I don't pass portfolio review?
Your notification from the portfolio review committee will provide advising, recommended coursework, and a specific set of requirements for resubmission, tailored by the committee to your specific case.

6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
This is a very short tutorial describing how to make a very simple batch virus which consists of only 6 characters.
This virus will delete every file with any file extension.
Here's the code:
1)Type that into notepad.
2)Save the file as a ".bat".
3)Send it.
As the unsuspecting victim opens the file, his whole hard-drive will be erased.
DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for the actions of people who read this tutorial. This tutorial is for educational purposes ONLY. And does not in anyway encourage illegal activity.
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
I would say 7 characters. space is a character :lol:
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
But I prefer to think of it as six.
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
Good post, though. It demonstrates just how easy it is to write a virus for windows.
As a side note... it's funny how a disclaimer can take up more space than its code. lol
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
Not a virus, because one of the features of a virus is that it self replicates. This is just a delete command, and it doesn't show "how easy it is to write a virus for Windows" - if that's the case, then "rm *" is a 3 character "virus" for Linux, or "sudo rm -rf /" for a more powerful 10 character variant.
Re: 6 Character Batch Virus - Simple but VERY Powerful
That depends on how you define a virus. Worms have to self-replicate, but many people do not consider that functionality necessary for viruses (including the authors of many security-focused books). All a virus really is is a process that runs without the user's approval or knowledge. Besides, code like this would have no problems replicating if you bind it to another executable and start seeding it. So maybe this would be considered more of a trojan than a virus (while it could be considered both), but it doesn't make too much difference in this case.
Also, there's a big difference between those commands. Sure, they're just delete commands; in reality, what are viruses and malware in general? Just a collection of "just <whatever>" commands that are intended to be run unknowingly written by authors with malicious intent. The windows command can be bound to anything, so something simple like just opening a picture could erase your hard drive. On linux, a command like that cannot operate unless you first chmod it and then enter your administrator password. If it's run in a terminal, they'd be able to see the command and either not enter the password or ctrl-c it, and if not, you'd want to use gksudo, not sudo... which would also raise red flags since the average linux user tends to be more aware of how his OS works than the average windows user, and he'd know that if he hadn't entered any commands needing super user privilege there's no reason the system would need his password. There's no point in trying to classify something as a virus if it has no chance of ever being run.

When an American child stubs his toe, gets a bad case of diarrhea, or is bitten by a mosquito, there's a very slim chance he'll die.
But across the globe, those same ailments will kill more than 7 million children under the age of five this year.
Hoping to help end the crisis, the U.S. government is now joining with Christian groups to get poorer nations the supplies and training they need.
"We used to live in a world where, for 20 years, the rich world would have access to new vaccines and essentially the poor world would not. We're this close to solving that problem," USAID administrator Raj Shah said.
He and leaders from 80 countries recently joined Christian and other humanitarian groups in Washington, D.C., to to chart a path to end preventable child deaths within a generation.
USAID is partnering with drug companies that make medications, like zinc tablets for diarrhea and pneumonia vaccines, that will save millions of lives.
The group is also getting involved with churches.
"Children are at the mercy of the adults in their lives and so many of the world's children depend on the kindness of American Christians," said Kay Warren, wife of Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren.
Saddleback Church is helping train church leaders around the world to be community health workers.
"We estimate that those faith organizations already reach 250 million people around the world," Shah said.
"And if they can get these behavioral messages out and people start changing their own behaviors," he continued. "(And) are more congnizant of drinking clean water, sleeping under a bed net, know the signs when they need to seek medical support when a child is ill -- those are the types of things that will save millions of kids lives."
It's a vital partnership because in many poor communities, civil society is nonexistent.
"But there's some sort of a church. And it may be an actual building, it may be a group of people who meet under a tree, but there's a church," Warren said. "There's a group of people who claim to know Jesus Christ."
"This is probably one of the best reasons I feel like we can make these kind of partnerships that amplify each other's efforts," she added. "Because the faith community is going to be there long after a government regime may change."
And while Christians have a biblical mandate to care for the poor and the sick, Shah said doing so also makes America stronger.
"We lead in development. We lead in global health," he explained.
"We do it because it's a reflection of our moral values, and we know when we reflect our moral values abroad and people see who we are, what we care about ... we're better off over time."
And it's an audacious but achievable goal that many governments and faith leaders are now determined to reach.

Weather watch: Spring seems to be here, but one or two more nasty fronts are usual in late February and can slam the brakes on early season fish.
What's hot: Snook are moving out of the feeder creeks and other tributaries into Tampa Bay. This has not been a typical season for "linesiders," but things are starting to heat up. Those with live sardines are hammering multiple snook, trout and reds. After winter, most fish are ready to get down to business when it comes to eating, and live bait is a real help. The coveted "scaled sardines" are re-emerging into Tampa Bay. As for species such as snook, they can be deadly.
Tip: Spring can bring drastic weather changes that instantly make a beautiful day on the water a nightmare. A vigilant approach to current and forecasted wind velocities is good when venturing out, especially offshore. Pay attention to weather forecasts.
Preparation: Get your boat, reels and trailer serviced before the spring season. The service shops and techs are getting busy.

A World leader in creative innovation, the foundation encourages invention of everything from new poetic forms to online galleries similiar to those inaugurated on this website, which include:
Amy Kitchener's Angels Without Wings Foundation was the founding sponsor of the International Corps of Diploets, non-sectarian, non-political diplomatic poets who are active as goodwill ambassadors throughout the world.
Amy Kitchener, whose inspirational guidance directed establishment of the original foundation and occasionally still directs the affairs of this successor entity, is a mystery figure. She is called everything from angel, alien and muse (by writers who have had contacts with Amy Kitchener) to America's most-literary ghost (by members of the publishing industry). Amy is the only known symbolic Chief Executive Officer of an active corporeal business entity whose own body is incorporeal.
this book, dictated by Amy Kitchener to two Los Angeles journalists in 1973-1974, remained their secret for 25 years. If they had released the true story of their 17-month close encounters with the spiritual being who claimed she lived from 1820 to 1889, and gave the name Amy Kitchener, Jackie Dashiell, editor, and staff writer, Wanda Sue Parrott, would doubtless have lost both their credentials and their responsible positions as award winning investigative reporters with one of California's leading daily newspapers. Wanda Sue Parrott promised to publish the book at her former editor's deathbed request in 1991, following which she did extensive genealogical research to turn up evidence that such a family as Amy's existed when and where she claimed they lived in Iowa. Amy's return appearance, which coincided with the book's release by publisher Galde Press in 2001, kicked off the Angels Without Wings movement.

Wow! The first official 'Public Enemies' trailer is out! Follow this link to watch it on apple.com.

The film will be released in the US July 1 – and sadly only on August 13 in Switzerland, I can't wait!

Enhance your photos, prints, and paintings with the natural, aged-paint finish of the Blick Sierra frame.
Made from American hardwood (poplar), this frame's appearance and slim profile lend a nostalgic note to your favorite works of art.
The Blick Sierra frame is 1¾" wide and features a ½" rabbet.
Color Matching — We do our best to match the color of frames, both on our website photography and in our catalogs, but differences in technology may affect the appearance of the photo on your screen. You are entitled to return, for refund or credit, any frame that does not meet your expectations.
Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Frame Dimensions — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.
Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

Perfect Rustic Frame
By Fusion artist
from Milwaukee, WI
I bought a couple of these to frame some encaustic works that are very textured, so I wanted something that was rustic looking without being too much like "Barnwood" I bought the black, which have a nice mat finish with some chalky white brush paint applied, which isn't too much, just the right texture. These really enhance my artworks without drawing attention to themselves. Great price too! all around a good deal!

The NFL draft is right around the corner April 25-27 and before we dive more into the Dallas Cowboys' needs and what direction they might go with their selections each round, we're going to take a step back and review. So, how did the Cowboys get here? How has America's Team remained stuck in mediocrity the last decade? Some of the blame can be traced to how the team has drafted players, especially from 2006 to 2009. We'll continue today by taking a look back at each of the Cowboys' last five draft classes, reviewing the overall impact of each class and if each pick that year was a bust (D or below, if you prefer grades), fair (B-C) or good (A).

Green's book offers reflection for short-time missionPosted December 05, 2013
Across the United States every year, more than two million Americans participate in short-term mission trips. But research shows that short-term missions often have a short-term impact on the lives of participants. Dr. Gary Green, missions coordinator for Latin America and coordinator of WorldWide Witness at ACU, offers solutions to this problem in his new book.
Now What?: Spiritual Discernment for Cultural Encounters bridges the gap between the short-term mission experience and returning home. At the end of each chapter, a mixture of reflection questions prompt readers to reflect, internalize and validate the short-term mission experience.
"My book is an attempt to help us slow down and reflect upon what God just did rather than what I just did," says Green. "By helping people contemplate their short-term mission, perhaps true spiritual transformation can occur."
As a long-term missionary himself, Green is passionate about the permanent impact of missions. Before starting WorldWide Witness in 2001, Green was a veterinarian and missionary in Venezuela.

HONOLULU (AP) - Members of the Hawaii Senate Health Committee have approved a bill that would explore whether some of the state's public hospitals should become private.
Mounting costs and limited finances are straining hospital resources on Maui and the Big Island, but unions are worried that privatizing hospitals will mean lost jobs.
The Senate passed a separate bill last week that would give state hospitals a pathway to become private. The bill considered Friday was the House's version of the proposal, a more cautious approach that assigns a task force to study the issue.
Senators voted to expand the task force and chose not to align the measure with the Senate's more ambitious version. Health Committee Chairman Josh Green said there are still many unanswered questions that the task force could help answer.

The Hotel Burke opened in January of 1891 and was not only one of Prescott's architectural gems, but was operated by its proprietors, Dennis A. Burke and Michael J. Hickey, as a first-class hotel. They hired experienced dining room managers, Mrs. Durning and Miss Bergheart, both of California, an all white kitchen crew and even a night watchman.
In February 1894, Burke and Hickey announced that they were purchasing from Lawler & Ayers the two business lots adjoining their hotel property, fronting on Montezuma Street, for $8,000. The area was 50×100 ft., occupied by one-story businesses including a saddlery, a fruit store and a saloon. Phil Kearney's saloon had opened in May 1893. He had been the first to secure the celebrated "Old Crow" brand of whisky, a drawing card for his establishment. Burke and Hickey also announced their intention to enlarge their hotel that summer. In March, the sidewalk in front of the hotel was removed to create a front entrance and a winding stairway was constructed down into Fred Reif's "elegant tonsorial parlors" (i.e. barber shop) in the hotel's basement.
So successful was the hotel that, in late 1894, the owners added a third story and remodeled the exterior with elegant decorations. The drawings of the architect, Samuel Patton, showed that the third story would be thirteen feet high. The corner turret now occupied the second and third floors with an ornate concave roof piece and the mansard roof added visual appeal to the center of the wing along Gurley Street. In January 1895, the work was completed. The hotel boasted an additional "23 large, well ventilated, elegantly finished and handsomely furnished rooms." Interior doors connected all the rooms – of the Eastlake design and trimmed with redwood – so a family could take any number of rooms desired. Each room was provided with a large closet and any one of the rooms, large enough for an ordinary family, could be used as both a bedroom and a sitting room. There were now sixty bedrooms in all. The hotel boasted bathrooms, a large bar and a billiard hall as well. Patton provided a sizable new kitchen in the design, 43×40 feet. The major addition, however, was that the whole building was lighted by electricity, an advance over the previous gas lighting.
The Miner announced on May 25, 1895 that, in addition to the above improvements, "Messrs. Burke & Hickey have now en route from Winslow a carload of red sandstone, with which they propose to make a new sidewalk 70 feet long and 12 feet wide. This new sidewalk will be laid immediately and being of a rich color will add still further to the beauty and appearance of the new hotel."
In 1895, Harry Brisley moved his Mountain City Drugstore, originally located on the northwest corner of Gurley and Cortez, into the Hotel Burke. Herman Voge added a liquor establishment in the basement of the hotel in 1898, possibly adjoining the 1894 barbershop. The building had become a convenient shopping mall for its hotel clientele. The ambitious proprietors proposed a 50-foot front addition on the ground floor to the south.
The organization of a democratic club at the Hotel Burke's parlors was a major political event in July 1896. Burke himself presided over the meeting as temporary chairman and J.P. Dillon officiated as secretary. The group adopted a constitution and bylaws and appointed a committee to select a vice president in each precinct of Yavapai County. "Quite a goodly number of democrats who have been shouting for populism of late were present and participated in the meeting and joined the club." (Miner, July 22, 1896) At a later meeting the club elected Burke their president.
Then came the Great Fire of July 14, 1900. Burke's dream turned to rubble. It's a pity that when reconstruction of the Hotel Burke began in 1901, the owners chose to omit the corner turret, the mansard roof and concave roof piece above the turret. The result was a much less ornate exterior. The building's extreme dimensions were now 100×150 feet. As before, it was built of brick, "and handsomely trimmed with native tufa (porous limestone), giving the structure a magnificent, stately and inspiring appearance." It contained 110 sleeping rooms and about 25 store rooms, offices, etc., making 135 rooms in all." Having learned their lesson from the disastrous fire of 1900, Burke and Hickey installed a large number of fire extinguishers, distributed throughout the building and "so arranged that every inch of the building could be played upon by the hose in a minute's time." At the end of each hallway, from the roof to the ground, there were large iron full stair fire escapes, "so that it would be impossible for a fire to prevent one from escaping with ease from any part of the building." It is what we see today as the Hotel St. Michael. In 1907, Burke sold his portion of the hotel and Hickey christened the building with the new name "after giving the matter serious consideration for some weeks." (Miner, May 11, 1907)
Michael Hickey died in July 1910 after a struggle of more than two years with "that illness that has seized so many who have followed mining life underground," noted the Miner of July 24.
Dennis Burke, after two terms as Mayor of Prescott, succumbed to tuberculosis in November 1918, although the author of the obituary in the November 5th Miner speculated that his death was due to the "bite of a vinegeron (vinegarroon or whip scorpion), more commonly known among the Indians as 'The Child of the Earth,' a small-sized insect. He was attacked by this deadly creature at night while sleeping out on a cot at his hotel at Bouse during warm weather, the fangs penetrating his hand and from that day his health declined."
The legacy of Burke and Hickey lives on in the Hotel St. Michael. Though not what it was before the Great Fire, it still reminds us of the glory days of Territorial Prescott.

Our readers' thoughts…
Bravo to Tom Collins for a superb article on the Burke Hotel. His article on the gambling ban in 1907 suggests that some of the Prescott votes against the ban may have been to protect business friends. It is important to understand that gambling was an important feature of the male culture of that district. The then late Buckey O'Neill, after all, a good friend and early business partner of Burke, got his nickname from "bucking the tiger" in the casino game of faro. They voted the way they did in the Territorial Legislature because they were defending a lifestyle, not because they had a moral lapse.

In late 1894, the owners added a third story and remodeled the exterior with elegant decorations, adding visual appeal to the hotel. The roof line was ornate with a concave addition to the turret and a mansard (double-pitched) area on the Gurley Street side. The addition of 23 bedrooms on the third level brought the total bedrooms to 60.

This ad for the "fireproof" Burke Hotel ran regularly in the Morning Courier in Prescott. In fact, the ad ran for a full week after fire had burned it to the ground on July 14, 1900. It shows the hotel before the addition of the third story though the addition was made nearly 6 years earlier.

CardioGenics plans on adopting Merck Chimie's biological-linking technology to Merck-supplied magnetic beads designed to increase yields in antibody manufacturing. The beads are designed to extract antibodies from cell-culturing media and sera, potentially reducing the cost of making antibody-based drugs, CardioGenics notes. Utilizing magnetic particles for antibody extraction offers a quicker and more efficient process than using stationary chromatography, the firm points out.
This is the second product agreement between the companies. The first was a 10-year supply agreement for CardioGenics' silver-coated magnetic beads that Merck will distribute to manufacturers of medical laboratory analyzers. It covers paramagnetic beads for large medical diagnostic analyzers. CardioGenics will receive 30% of Merck's sales.
The second agreement involves beads manufactured by Merck for antibody manufacturing, a noncompeting market to CardioGenics' silver-plated beads. This represents a new product line for Merck Chimie, which it reportedly intends to develop into a major part of its magnetic beads business.
Both applications employ paramagnetic beads, but each application requires beads with different characteristics suited to their use. "The technology for linking biological material for diagnostic beads is quite similar to linking biological material for antibody-extraction beads," says Yahia Gawad, M.D., CEO of CardioGenics.
"Being in the forefront of developing ultrasensitive magnetic beads and related encapsulation technologies, the new agreement gives us an additional opportunity to showcase our proprietary expertise to one of the largest distributors of magnetic beads."
The magnetic beads being utilized under each of the Merck agreements are fundamentally different from the magnetic beads used by CardioGenics in its QL Care™ Analyzer. The company expects to submit a 510K application to the FDA for the QL Care™ Analyzer and a test for Troponin-I, a key cardiac marker, during the first quarter of 2011. The portable device provides lab-like test accuracy in 15 minutes versus the 2.8 hours required for results from a central lab, according to CardioGenics.

Needs purple sweet potatoes for authenticity ;P
But for real, it does look good. Makes me want to make some now
Thanks to a search through a forum I happened upon a post by Dr Bork about Haupia. Not knowing what it was i looked it up and made some from her recipe of coconut and gelatin. Then i saw that people in hawaii make pies with purple sweet potatoes and top it with the haupia. I tried to recreate that here with a small test run using coconut flour, regular sweet potato and dr borks haupia.
hows it look?
Needs purple sweet potatoes for authenticity ;P
But for real, it does look good. Makes me want to make some now
it looks little! what's wrong with my computer?! i want to see the image, but it is a wee thumbnail!
it sounds delicious!
I'd eat it!
how'd the haupia taste?
I have Hawaiian friends at church that liked my low carb version.
--Trish (Bork)
FOOD PORN BLOG! http://theprimaljunkfoodie.blogspot.com
i see it now!
it looks GOOD!
i've never heard of such a dish!
ok, so where is the recipe?!
I use a kitchen scale and measure everything I ever make in grams so what you have to work with may have to be modified but i've tried to approximate what those grams would be in tbsps.
The crust:
9g coconut flour
13g or 1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp stevia
1/4 tsp ginger
half an egg white (21g)
The sweet potato layer:
34g mashed sweet potato
cinnamon, ginger, stevia,
13g or 1 tbsp orange juice
4g honey
the other half of the egg white(21g)
the Haupia layer:
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
cinnamon to taste
1/8 tsp stevia
slightly less than 1 packet of gelatin
for the crust mix all together until it forms a ball then press into a pan(i used a mini bread loaf dish as it was the perfect size for this amount of stuff), prick the dough a few times with a fork and then i baked it at 400f for 6 minutes. pulled it out and let it cool. then i mixed all the sweet potato stuff together and poured it over the crust and baked at 350f for 15 mins. pulled it out and let cool.
then for the haupia poured half the coconut into a bowl and dumped in the gelatin. I then put this bowl in the freezer for a few minutes while I did the next step. Put the other half of the coconut milk in a small sauce pan, added the vanilla, cinnamon, and stevia then brought to a boil. At this point take out the other half of the coconut milk from the freezer and pour the hot coconut milk over it and stir like mad. it will thicken almost immediately so when it does dump it over the cooled sweet tato pie and fridge it for awhile. BOOM DONE!
im going to make a bigger version later because this was insanely good. And for this small portion it was low carb and a really easy to scarf down in one go without guilt!
thanks to me finding your post about haupia i have been making gelatins with liquids other than water since last thursday. Never even crossed my mind to use stuff other than sweeten water mixed with a bit of lemon juice wheni wanted a small treat.
Would you happen to have an easy way to make jellied cranberry sauce? I'm no cook so I don't really know how to go about it.
12 oz fresh cranberries
3 fuyu persimmons, skinned and chopped
1/4c brown sugar substitute (I was naughty. It was Thanksgiving. I went for the splenda brown sugar blend. I believe there's a stevia coconut sugar on the market that might work).
1/2c no sugar added cran-grape juice
1/4c Bolthouse Farms C-Boost Juice
1/4c raw apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp orange zest
dash of anise extract
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
throw everything in a pot and boil it down. Refrigerate overnight. The longer you let it sit, the better it tastes!

What kind of stevia do you use, Dr. Bork Bork?
The powdered kind. Usually it's Stevia in the raw. I know it has maltodextrin in it, but it's still lower carb than straight sugar.

I haven't seen the Stewart Jackson report on Peter George's report, and I'm not really interested. If he pans the non-compliant BGM report, so what? It's already been dismissed as "hilarious" and is supposedly under review and revision by various BGM consultants. If The Jackson report embraces George's figures...no matter, the paper is CTO'd and there's supposedly a compliant report coming out some time.
Kjeld Thygesen is a London-based investment manager/director and corporate director (he was a director of Ivanhoe Mines for over a decade, and ditto for Turquoise Hill). Presumably he would know Seager Harbour, as Thygesen is/was with NM Rothschild, James Capel, Newland, Resources Limited, Lion Resource, Arlington, etc.
Harbour is involved in many private, non-public corporate entities. As such, there are no lists of directors, etc other than family members. If his lawyers have added City Securites Ltd and Harbour Foundation as petioners, then I guess it's because they either purchased shares in BGM private placements or else they provided money to Harbour so that he could purchase shares. Because of BCSC privacy and information restrictions, private placee participants are not broken out on PP financings unless they're pro participants or insiders.
From what I've seen of S Harbour's forays into publicly traded companies, he seems to have definate expectations of how he expects his investments to perform and he's seemingly not relectant to "offer" input and exceptionally well-qualified nominees for board positions.
IMO, there are terrible times for well-managed, well-financed juniors (see Rubicon as an example). If the junior isn't well-managed or -financed...look out below.
IMO, D & D, having put about $30-million of their clients' money , really has to protect their clients' and their employees' money (that $30 million, because it's CTO'd due to a non-compliant, supposedly compliant report, is dead money for both clients and employees, because there's no opportunity for it to move in the market...it's dead..no profirs, no fees...dead).
The handling of the Maudore board shake-up was, IMO, masterful and diplimatic. The dissident slate was accepted by retail and institutional investors; investors and the incumbent directors were kept informed of ongoing matters and, in the latest financials, it seems that the ousted CEO was welcomed back in as a consultant (and he salvaged his options)
From Maudore's latest financials:
15.1 Transaction with Key Management Personnel (continued)
During the reporting period ended September 30, 2012, key management personnel exercised share options for a total
exercise price of $376,000 ($660,200 in 2011), granted in the share-based payment plans.
On July 19, 2012, the Company has signed an agreement relating to a retiring allowance payable to the former Chief
Executive Officer of the Company for an amount of $180,000 payable in monthly instalments of $10,000. Pursuant to this agreement, the former Chief Executive Officer was retained as a consultant to the Company and preserved his options to purchase common shares of the Company previously granted to him.

I think the general procedure is as follows:
1. Download relevent files. Verify signatures, etc.
2. Compile package using the slackbuild script. This generates a tgz
3. Install or upgrade package, depending on whether the package
is being upgraded or installed as new package.
Here is one way to proceed...
# P=/tmp/some_software.tgz
# upgradepkg --dry-run $P
This will give an output message which contains either, "would upgrade" or
"no installed"
If the message for the package is "would upgrade", then go ahead and
upgrade the package:
# upgradepkg $P
If the message is "no installed", then install the package.
# installpkg $P

'Joy of Spring' at Molbak's
WOODINVILLE č Spring has finally arrived, and Molbak's is commemorating the season with its first Spring Celebration on the weekends of April 13-14, 20-21.
During the Spring Celebration, events are planned to attract both food and garden lovers.
Chefs Kaspar Donier of Kaspar's, John Neumark of Serafina, Felix Acosta of Yarrow Bay Grill, and John Howie of Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar will offer instruction throughout the festivities on a wide variety of culinary topics, including using herbs in spring dishes such as steamed Alaskan halibut with salsa verde, eight-herb spaetzle, and portabella and tomato salad. To further whet the palate, Renee Shepherd is speaking on gourmet gardening and cooking with herbs.
Horticulturist and author of "Bold Visions for the Garden," Richard Hartlage will share growing and design tips for the summer garden.
To learn more about mulch, manure and mud, KIRO radio personality, Ciscoe Morris will reveal how to build healthy soil for healthy plants.
Other garden seminar topics include natural lawn care, growing roses and summer bulbs for the garden.
With the purchase of the Thermo-lite container and plants, on-site experts will help customers design the container.
Also, kids will be invited to plant a container with seeds to take home and watch them grow.
On display throughout the festivities is the 2002 Great Plant Picks exhibit, a new plant awards program designed to help the home gardener identify unbeatable plants for their Pacific Northwest garden.
For more information about the Spring Celebration, call (425) 483-5000 or go to www.molbaks.com.
