William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King's New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would... Read More

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
I'm Mary Alice Armour, a registered nurse and Director of Wellness here at Saint Vincent College. I started working in the SVC Health Center in August of 1993, and became a director in 1995. My job gives me the opportunity to use my nursing skills in caring for patients, and to teach individuals about handling a disease process while care for themselves. Through our Healthy Campus initiative, I have the chance to advocate healthy living – physically, mentally and spiritually.
I am originally from Pittsburgh, and moved with my family to Unity Township in 1980. My husband Howard and I raised our two daughters here, and we are now the grandparents of three grandsons and one granddaughter.
My favorite things about Saint Vincent College are its excellent academic reputation, the wonderful people I get to work with everyday, and the family atmosphere.
I have had many memorable moments here on campus and cherish every one of them. My most recent is the construction of the SVC Labyrinth this spring, and its dedication this fall. Having a labyrinth has been a dream for five years and finally came to fruition through the support of our President, VPSA, the Senior Class of 2011, multiple individual donors, and several departments throughout the college. It is truly a community effort.
Study hard, make friends, and enjoy this time in your life. Take advantage of all Saint Vincent has to offer both in and out of the classroom.

Inauguration Bliss
By leroyk on Jan 21, 2009
Well, I spent Tuesday at my first inauguration. What a day. So many people. Sharing experiences. It was great seeing Barrack sworn in. Seeing Barrack, MIchelle and the girls in the "beast limo" was way cool. Kudos to the new first family.
My morning started early. It was a 5am morning. Got up. Checked the news. They were reporting the metro stations had lines back to exit with people trying to park their cars. So I got my butt in gear and got going. Got to the metro station at 6:30am. The lines were horrible because everyone was waiting for garage #1. Luckily I knew about garage #2 which had no wait.
My second kudos goes to Washington's Metro. They had their stuff together. Lots of employees at the Shady Grove station. They even relaxed the rules when there were long lines. Like letting people through the turnstiles with out needing a ticket to board a train. Kudos. They even upgraded the chime system when the doors close. It has been that long since riding metro. The system does not usually go where I am going. The bad, you still do not want to be caught in the doors. Although similar to elevator doors, these are merciless. Groups of teenagers forced to save one of their own that was straggling behind.
Got to the metro center station at 7:30 am. Not bad. Now I am worrying about having 7 hours to wait. Here is where it gets interesting. There were two security checkpoints. One with a line moving briskly and the other stalled. After waiting 45 minutes in the slow line I move to the brisk line. Here they are are processing tons of people and just performing pat downs. So I get through this line in 10 minutes. I think this is too good to be true. Yes it was. My seating area cannot be accessed from this entrance. So I need to exit and re-enter through the slow entrance. Back out I go.
Well long story short. I spent the next 4 hours of my life in the a line that was 2 blocks long. I was in the first 50 feet of the line. This line had metal detectors and people had to remove their electronics. It felt as though this line was being choked for security reasons. It gets interesting when you spend 4 hours back to chest to back with people you do not know. When the line moved, we moved as one. Literally. The whole crowd would move 6 inches whenever they let 5 people through the line. The crowd swayed as one when Aretha sang. Not out of choice because we had to. Someone started and we moved together. Kind of uniting in a way. In fact the last 45 minutes in line I do not think I stood on my own. I had a young lady behind me go to sleep on my shoulders.
Third kudos. TSA, I will never let anyone say bad things about you ever again. You are a model of uniformness and efficiency.
Fourth kudos. Plenty of restrooms on the parade route. Cannot speak about the mall but Penn avenue was great.
The parade was great though I snuck out after Barrack and Michelle went by. The aluminum seats had finally taken their toll. It was 5 pm. Time to go.
All in all a great day, even with security and the cold. Something everyone should do once in their lives.

A $7.5 million price tag will be sent to the voters on May 21 for the purchase of the Old Woodinville Schoolhouse, Sorenson buildings, the 10 acres they sit on, and three acres to the south for parking.
The City Council voted last week 7-0 approving the language and amount of the bond issue to go before the voters on May 21.
"The main focus of a young city is to create tradition and heritage and this project gives the city a good place to start from," said Mayor Bob Miller. "In the words of former Councilmember Mark Jessup, 'you can tell your grandkids you were there when the page was blank.'"
"I think this is a monumental time for us as a city," said Councilmember Lucy DeYoung. "When we talk about growth management, we talk about these old town communities that are user friendly. I think Woodinville has a tremendous opportunity to do all of those things. We have a compact downtown, there are theaters in the works which could make our community more active at night, and the Woodinville School has such a rich history. The Civic Center will provide a good place for our youth, elderly, and City Council to 'hang out.'"
Deputy Mayor Don Brocha said the civic center, coupled with the Jerry Wilmot Green Gateway Park, will be a great amenity for the city, making them the "Jewels of Woodinville."
The ballot title information will now be sent to King County Elections, who will be conducting the May 21 election. The ballot title will read: "Proposition Civic/Community Center Complex Bonds-$7,500,000."
"Shall the City of Woodinville, Washington, borrow not to exceed $7,500,000 to acquire and improve the Sorenson school property and ballfields, the Old Woodinville School, and additional properties to develop a civic/community center complex including parking by selling general obligation bonds therefore maturing within 20 years and levy annual excess property taxes necessary to pay and retire the bonds, as provided in Ordinance 144?"
If passed, the levy rate for 1997 will increase $0.62 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, or $93 on a $150,000 home.
City signs purchase agreement
The city signed a purchase agreement with the Northshore School District for the Sorenson School campus for $5.8 million with rights to purchase beyond Aug. 18, 1996, if needed. Also approved was a partial leaseback agreement with the school district for its special needs' program for three years with extension rights up to two additional years, if needed.
The rent for the first term is included in the negotiated sale price. The remaining $1.7 million is earmarked for acquisition of the three acres to the south for parking, with the difference for parking type improvements, such as paving and code improvements to bring the buildings up to today's safety standards.
In other city council news:
Regulatory Reform: The council voted 7-0 adopting an ordinance to comply with the regulatory reform legislation last year mandating a 120-day permit turn-around time, combining environment and project review, limiting the number of appeals hearings, allowing for consolidated permit processing, and providing overall predictability for permit processing via set administrative procedures.

First - I would suggest freezing the group that contains the Oracle
The reasons for this is, that if the power resets during your upgrade,
and VCS statrs, it will online the group again (including Oracle).
So, find the name of your group and then do a
haconf -makerw
hagrp -freeze
haconf -dump -makero
Then offline the resource:
hares -offline
aqnd then when you are finished
haconf -makerw
hagroup -unfreeze
(please do not use the "<" and ">" in any of the commands)
You can also do that with the GUI

Samsung MV800 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
4 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
The MV800 is a great little camera. I make a lot of tutorial videos for my business to go on Youtube. I can just set up the MV800 on my Joby Gorillapod flip the screen over so I can see that the shot is composed properly without having to keep on checking behind the camera.
I bought one of these and it is a terrific camera and takes very nice photos day or night. I'm a point and click photographer and for me the image quality is very good. The camera is also very easy to use and the touch screen makes navigating the menus simple.
This is the finest point and shoot I have ever owned. Sharp colorful pictures with so many options for shooting modes it makes the camera useful as well as lots of fun. Pros are the size of the camera and the outstanding touch screen. The live panorama feature is outstanding and so easy to use it is like magic. With so many shooting modes and the in camera enhancement of photos it makes the MV800 an outstanding value. Of course the price is high but in my opinion well worth every dollar. The way I use the camera I have not found any Cons…
Can u get a wi fi card to put in it for wireless transfers of photos?

Summary of Activities/Interests
Professor Khandelwal is interested in how infrastructural systems (e.g., buildings, bridges) behave under extreme loading conditions. These conditions may be man-made or generated by natural hazards, such as seismic excitation, impact and blast. He is currently investigating how to utilize new materials and technologies together with multi-scale structural optimization methods to create innovative structural systems that mitigate effects of extreme loading. Much of his research is focused on the computational and theoretical aspects of structural engineering, with particular emphasis on multiscale computational simulations including finite element methods, structural optimization, constitutive modeling, damage-plasticity formulations, nonlinear solution strategies and advanced visualization techniques.

I had a nasty flashback when I booked a round-trip flight recently from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. My choice was basically US Airways or US Airways, and the best nonstop fare for my Sunday-to-Tuesday trip was more than $550.
Only a few months ago, I could have taken the same trip for less than $200, and the reason for the difference was obvious. In January, Southwest Airlines called wheels up on the route for the last time. The next month, it quit flying from Philadelphia to Boston, and fares for US Airways' flights on that route leaped, too.
For two decades, proponents of airline deregulation have touted the "Southwest Effect" as evidence competition was working for consumers. The idea was that low-cost airlines — not just Southwest, but a slew of new market entrants — would give the nation's old-line carriers a run for their money, driving down fares on routes dominated by the so-called legacy airlines such as US Airways, Delta, and United.

I have just sent the following to the help desk as I am getting really annoyed now. It seems ridiculous that I can complete so many historic profiles to which I have no relationship and yet my own tree I can't touch because some unrelated person appears to have the last say.
If anyone is collaborating or joint manager with either of these two people then Please speak up!
Private User
When Celia first joined Geni she seemed aggreeable to completing the merges begun with Candy but said I should wait a few days whilst she aquainted herself with geni.
I waited and waited and every few months put another request to complete merge through asking if she was ready yet.
This has been happening for over a year now, I believe to no avail. I can see no relationship with Celia nor any relationship between her and my profiles awaiting merge completion. I found a very distant relative with a duplicate with her but he was unable to persuade her to merge, collaborate or become a family group member either.
It seems unfair in the extreme that someone should hold these merges to ransome. I am able to complete merges for completely non-related historic profiles and have given Geni many hours of work doing so and yet my own tree remains scattered with blue circles and yellow exclamation marks and I can do nothing about it.
Is there no way I can apply to Geni to be the manager of these profiles managed by Celia but to which she has no relationship but I do? I mean without me asking her as I believe she has now blocked me too or at least is not communicating.

Terry, Now you have gone way too far by putting a link to my private profile and Celia's on your gripe page, that is violating our privacy.
I came back to Geni even though I got totally fed up and left Geni.com because of your constant pestering for merges. I have reported you for trying to gain access via Peter and Celia. I have blocked you and so has Celia. I will never merge with you, neither will Celia and no one else has the management to give you access.
***I am not related to you at all, you told me the connection is to your husband***
No one is holding anything to ransom, poor you. I reiterate that I will not merge with you and neither will Celia. If you want to get rid of the merge flags (with blue circles and yellow exclamation marks) then delete each person (with whom I won't merge) and create a new profile for them.
Lastly, please don't harrass any more of my relatives about merging because you have lost any chance of that ever happening... due to your nagging and using other people in your scheming to get merges finalised.
Peter James Downham requested that you merge a duplicate profile for Eliza StoneHelp
"Hi Celia, I received the following from Terry Jackson. Please let me know your feelings on in regard to this. Peter Downham,
Subject: Connections Hi Peter I think I have found a tenuous connection. This is in an area of my tree scattered with blue circles and yellow exclamation marks because my 7th cousin said she'd merge with me if I did the work but had her privacy setting so tight that it meant I could do nothing without her getting messages which she got fed up with and so she blocked me. I understand she was using a library pc so understand why so many messages was frustrating but I did try to explain to her, tactfully, about adjusting her privacy settings. This was all some time ago and since then I think she may even have left Geni altogether and her profiles are now held by a Celia King to whom I have no connection according to Geni but she controls many duplicate profiles of my family. She started off saying that if I give her a few days she would sort these dups out however despite periodic reminders (one in a few months) nothing has happened. I wonder if a fresh name may be the way to solve this. This is where you come in, if you don't mind. http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000001314900511?return=match&... is a dup held by both you and Celia.Evelyn King. It would probably be helpful if you could somehow become a collaborator or family group member with Celia. I hopeyou don't mind me contacting you about this. I spend a lot of time sorting out the historic tree and yet am blocked getting my own tree in order! Frustrating! Thanks for 'listening'. Terry"

E. Candy Bridge, I don't understand. I do the genealogy work for my husband and I consider it MY family. He got stuck with mine and I with his when we got married. LOL!
The purpose of merging is to share information. This site has been described by many (and not just me) as the place to share information and create a giant Human Family Tree. I don't understand why you would join this site and then not share information.
Could you please explain your stance? To me, it sounds rather like "I'm going to take my ball and go home." I know I was sure hoping to find more info about my husband's family (inluding in-laws and in-laws of in-laws, who I love in my family as if they were blood).
One thing we were hoping to do with the Human Family Tree was show that we are all related - and maybe that would help us work together instead of against each other.

E. Candy Bridge.
I have the feeling that you just don't understand what Geni is about. Being the kind of PRiVATE PERSON you are should have made your tree PRIVATE when you started. Then you wouldn't have started hurting peoples feelings.
And just like Marsha wrote, Terry's husbands family is her family !
MERGING & COLLABORATING is what GENI is all about ! That is what Terry wanted to do with you.
There, I blew off some steam about a ridiculus attitude. And now I'll shut up after taking Terry side.
6/2/2010 at 8:43 AM
I echo the sentiments of Marsha and Ann.
So, Candy, let me see if I understand: You have no desire to work constructively with other family members, you don't even acknowledge in-laws as family, and you accuse those of us (like me, for example) who are working hard to synchronize the data on Geni and make it a useful resource of "harassing," "nagging" and "scheming."
Er... um... Explain to me again why in heaven's name you chose GENEALOGY as a hobby?

I don't believe there will be many people who are using Geni Constructively to connect with others will sympathize with your "problems" & attitude towards others.
If I were you I'd think this over, apologize to Terry and than invite her to your "family". I hope it's not too late to do so. Goodness, she didn't lie to you, she is your cousin & some one invited her to join the tree you are working on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello my dearest critics and advisors!
When I first joined Geni about two years ago I was all for helping people, in fact I have been helping people with genealogy on and off the internet for over a decade and will now continue to do so, selectively.
Also, 2 years ago I was studying when Terry was constantly nagging to merge the profiles - there were more than 20 requests from her and I was on a 100Mb download limit at home... you know how much Geni uses.... so I didn't even start learning how to use the site properly until this year. That means I didn't know about all the privacy settings then.
Terry has greatly influenced my decision not to merge with anyone on that branch and yes, I have gradually been removing my information from my page.
No matter what you all assume about me when you don't even know me, I don't have to justify myself to you.
**I retain the right to not merge my profiles with Terry and I won't be reversing that decision because the profiles that Terry had started to merge she took over total management which wiped out my profile information which often differed from hers.**
Please be well aware dear critics and people who give me unsolicited advice, if Terry hadn't nagged so much the profiles would have been merged in between my studies and that process would have been completed about 18 months ago but she not only pestered me she pestered other people on this site too.
When I joined Geni I thought the website was wonderful. I am so happy to say that I have invited several relatives to Geni and have even been working on giving them management of their branches in between my studies again.
I did so much genealogical research for one lady (over a decade ago) much, much more than she asked for and I did it for free. She was so happy she invited me to stay with her family for a week in the UK and they took me to several places including Windsor Castle.
I have been successful in helping people find their relatives on the other side of the globe and have done that for free too. I don't run a genealogy service I just like helping people. But you may know the saying...
"give someone an inch and they take a mile" - Terry fits that category. She never asked me if I wanted to retain any information from my profiles but I have undone all those merges. No appologies for doing that either. I just feel sorry for people who I have had to block because of Terry so that Terry can't use those people to gain access any more.
You all may cease or continue your ranting and raving, your blowing off and not shutting up as you wish, regardless of what you do my decision remains the same. It's still a free country down here and I can be selective about who joins my tree. We have spent lots of money and time on certificates and research and I WAS happy to share that information with people who don't constantly nag. Terry spoilt it for others.
I will not reply to any further postings on this issue because I have studies and other more important things to attend to, like (to mention just a few) helping my parents and restoring family photos and wood turning.

It seems that Candy has misunderstood a lot about how to use Geni and what Geni is for. She failed to understand even after I explained that she was receiving a large number of messages because her privacy settings meant I could not merge without Geni sending automatic messages each time. She seems to have mistaken these as me 'nagging'. I would never have intentionally deleted someone else's data on a profile. I believe there was a time in which Geni was set up so that the profile with the most information took precedence so perhaps that is what happened to Candy's profiles.

The solution for most "problems" are collaboration.
To compare: I am the manager of 162,477 profiles and just get two or three merge requests per day.
The solution is simple: Accept/invite to collaboration and/or family group access on the first request to give the requester access to help him/herself with the rest.
I trust people to make the right choices and that they will contact me if they need help. In any case most errors can be fixed, and I even accept on purpose bad merges since it is easier to fix errors when all duplicates are gone.
The only thing I don't accept is deleting of profiles instead of merging them because it will close down access to everyone who would have access through me to the merged profiles.
My privacy rule is simple: Things that you want to keep as a secret is simply not published on a web-site.

I am alarmed by Bjørn's comment that he even accepts on purpose bad merges. It is quite possible that most people do make good merges most of the time. But on the occasions when I spot a merge that is not a good merge, I will not accept it, and if I am certain that it is not a good merge I will unmerge it, and explain why to the person who initiated the merge.
I disagree that it is easier to fix errors when all duplicates are gone. Bad merges can be really difficult to fix. I much prefer the approach of others in other discussion threads who have said that they scrutinise and research merges before they accept them.
In particular, merges of people who have entirely different parents can be a nightmare to fix, as can merges of mixed generations of the same family.
If in doubt, DON'T DO IT!

And another thing, sometimes deletion is the correct option. if I find I have a profile that duplicates someone else's, and merging the two profiles is not critical to the tree structure (e.g. they are already brothers but are actually the same person), and merging is not trivial, then why merge? If my profile has no better information than the one that is already there, I gracefully withdraw mine by deleting it, instead of trying to force through a merge that would achieve absolutely nothing.
Private User
6/3/2010 at 5:21 AM
Finally for now, another type of merge that shouldn't be done, but sometimes is: You have two brothers, both with the same name. One lived (say) 1770-1771. The other lived (say) 1774-1810. Clearly one child died young, and a second child was named after the older child. Merge them and the mistake might not be noticed for some time, and you have destroyed someone's research and tree, for no gain. Look before you merge!

I think unless you have Bjorn's obviously advanced geni skills you are best advised not to merge bad merges and deleting other people's profiles is never a good idea. Yes, most errors can be corrected but, as my experience with Candy demonstrates, people are very protective of data they have entered and rightly so.
Private User
6/3/2010 at 6:13 AM
David, I was quite clear in two things: First I used the word "on purpose" about bad merges. This means that the manager doing this is well aware of the situation and you know that the manager is working on a major cleanup in the area and you have discussed earlier that the first goal is to reduce the number of duplicates. If a "bad merge" does not bring in any new connections (like one mother profile is named Anne and the other Mary) is is easier to just merge them instead of trying to cut the bad one loose and try to find another place to merge it, especially when you know that you probably already have such a profile there.
It is quite easy for a Pro user to cut bad connections when you get a better overview of a line.
Secondly: Deleting duplicates does also remove all collaborators of, and the managers family's access to an area as they would get if the profiles get merged. It is not a question about getting a unique tree, but access.
An example: You are collaborating with A and I with B (and not you). If we merge two profiles C1 and C2 into a profile C, both A and B will get access to that profile through one of us since we both will be managers of C. If I delete your profile instead of merging it, your collaborator A (and your family and friends) will not have access to it, - only yourself since you are a collaborator of me, and if I remove you as collaborator or even worse block you, your unique collaborators, friends and family will totally loose access. As a co-manager of the profile not even blocking you will lock anyone out, simply because it is your profile too, even if I happen to the primary manager and are blocking you.

6/3/2010 at 7:15 AM
Ofir, I was referring to deleting one's own profiles, not someone else's. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The point I was trying to make is that there are two types of merges:
Type 2) Let's suppose that before that merge, I already added Jane to my tree, and Jane's father Harold. I merge the two Janes without problem. The trees are now adequately merged. But I don't have enough privilege to merge the two Harolds. What should I do:
I believe I should adopt (c). But I think too many people, for whatever reason, adopt (a) or (b), and that I believe leads to mess or angst or both.
Type 2 arises in many ways, and I categorise it as people trying to merge two profiles for no added value, and sometimes reduced value. Before you merge your profile with someone else's in a non-structural merge, think: "Why am I doing this? Why is this a better option than simply deleting my copy?"
I am relatively new to Geni (less than 3 months in since I joined) and I am not a Pro, so if I got my facts wrong just shoot me down. I won't mind being corrected.

Bjørn, I had not appreciated that your "on purpose" as you say "means that the manager doing this is well aware of the situation and you know that the manager is working on a major cleanup in the area and you have discussed earlier that the first goal is to reduce the number of duplicates". Had I realised that this was what "on purpose" means, I would not have commented as I did.
I stand by my point that bad merges (almost by definition) are a bad thing, and should not be initiated or approved. I think that your example of different mothers Anne and Mary is actually agreeing with my comment that merges of people who have entirely different parents are particularly bad!
Regarding deleting duplicates with multiple managers, I agree that this requires further thought. To clarify, I had in mind the case where I delete a profile that I manage.
I think your comments regarding blocking are the exception rather than the rule. If we all go round being paranoid about being blocked, we would all use whatever tricks we could to manage as many profiles as we could, to retain our power over them, rather than relying on each other's ongoing goodwill. Maybe that is why people always want to merge things - to keep their paws in whichever way they can, and I am just naive not to have realised that already? If merges are done just so that everyone can get their stamp as a profile manager on everything that moves, just in case someone blocks them, or removes them as collaborator, etc. then we will spend the next decade approving merge after merge, without actually achieving anything. That's not what I want to get out of Geni.
Either way, I think this is a healthier discussion than a public slanging match between two 7th cousins (or whatever relation they are).
6/3/2010 at 2:47 PM
Another justification to do "no-added-value" merges (most of the thousands of merges I have done), is to strongly indicate that multiple managers have a "stake" / interest in this part of the tree. To the extent that even if I didn't add a particular profile that I'm interested in or related to, I will often request to be added as a manager. You would be amazed at how many people say things like "well if I'm the only manager, I'm allowed to delete it". WRONG! In a shared tree, if my cousin added a relative that I KNOW about, and seeing this, I then did NOT add them, and my cousin deletes it for some reason, I would have NO way of knowing this profile was deleted, and would then be missing information I already have...

1. Your first para: in the case of a profile where I am the single manager, where the only information in the profile is what I added, and that profile is not structurally important elsewhere in the tree, and that profile and all its information is duplicated elsewhere, I maintain that it can be appropriate to delete it. I think the "Harold" example I gave above could be a good example. The alternative to attempting to merge my Harold profile and creating mess is to ask to be added as a manager of the existing Harold profile. Then no access is lost.
2. Your second para: I can't comment on percentages of deleted profiles. Personally I have only ever deleted profiles in the circumstances I described above, and also in one case where someone else had mistakenly parked their profiles in two places, one of which was incorrectly in my tree. Their copy in my tree was entirely duplicated in the right place elsewhere, and deletion was a far easier way of rectifying the error than a merge which would have involved adding collaborators and family group just to achieve it, and would have been messy to separate "parents" that really had nothing to do with each other. I do think people should consider deletion in some circumstances as an alternative to leaving a mess for others to clear up.
3. Your third paragraph: the request to be added as a manager is a much easier operation than a messy merge. I take your point about collective responsibility after a profile has been added. Perhaps the circumstances where profiles should be deleted are simply the 5% that you have in mind.

Terry I did read your earlier posts. Clearly you and Candy have different views of what you expected from each other. Online collaboration is very difficult, because we all see things differently, we have different aims and views, different energy levels and personalities.
My comments were of a general nature, in a broadening of the original focus of this thread. I have no idea what might have been the best cause of action in your case.

Chai Spice Snickerdoodles
Posted By IsaChandra On September 27, 2012 @ 4:02 pm In Christmas,Cookie,Desserts,Main Featured,Recipes Featured,Thanksgiving,Uncategorized | 240 Comments
Makes 2 dozen cookies
Photo by Vanessa Rees [1]
Of course cookies are always fun to eat, but their crunchy, sugary tops make snickerdoodles even more so. Maybe I should work for the snickerdoodle industry? Since the Mexican Hot Chocolate [2] ones were such a hit, I've been experimenting with different varieties for my next cookbook, and these are a favorite; an enticing spin on classic cinnamon snickerdoodles, livened up with chai spices: ginger, cardamom and a hint of cloves. It's the perfect cookie to welcome in Autumn!
Over the summer I spent a few weeks in Brooklyn shooting dozens of photos for the book, with faboo photographer Vanessa Rees and my buddy Terry, plus an assortment of other helpers (so many dishes!) It was a great time, spilling fabrics all over the floor to get the exact right napkin, arranging sprigs of cilantro just so, and wrapping noodles around forks. So I wanna' share a little bit of the process here. This video tracks the life of a food photo; from picking out the background, to the lighting, to props, there is so much that goes into each shot before it gets to the page. Here you can see that we tried several different arrangements (Should the cookies be on the baking sheet? Parchment? Maybe a plate? With tea?) before settling on the final composition.
I can't wait to return to Brooklyn this winter for round 2. But for now…cookies!
~ Since we're not weighing the flour, the consistency of dough can vary. If your dough seems excessively sticky (like, it's difficult to roll into balls that hold their shape and it's sticking to your hands), then an extra tablespoon of flour or two gently kneaded into the batter oughtta' fix it.
~ If you are the type to make cookies on a weekly (daily?) basis, it might be worth it to invest in a cookie disher. It's basically a smaller ice cream scoop, but it ensures that the cookies come out uniformly sized.
~ For a lower fat cookie, replace 1/4 cup of the oil with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. The cookie will come out a bit softer and puffier, but still amazingly delish!
~For people who said that they had problems with sticky dough, try washing your hands and make sure they're very clean and a bit damp. That will help insure that the dough doesn't stick.
For the topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch cloves
For the cookies:
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the topping ingredients together on a dinner plate. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to vigorously mix together oil, sugar, syrup, and milk. Mix for at least a minute, until it resembles applesauce. Then mix in vanilla.
Sift in remaining ingredients, stirring as you add them. Once all ingredients are added mix until you've got a pliable dough. Get in there with your hands to mix, it's the easiest way to get the dough to come together.
With clean, moist hands, roll dough into walnut sized balls. Pat into the sugar topping to flatten into roughly 2 inch discs. Transfer to baking sheet, sugar side up, at least 2 inches apart (they do spread a little). This should be easy as the the bottom of the cookies should just stick to your fingers so you can just flip them over onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, they should be a bit browned on the bottoms. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Just like the last time the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins, pay no attention to the final score. The Birds took it to Washington, the only real flaw in their performance being perhaps they took their foot off the gas pedal just a little too early.
The Eagles cruised to a 24-16 victory, but not without making it interesting. They took a shutout into the fourth quarter, but back-to-back touchdowns and two-point conversions made it a one-possession game before Washington's final drive came up short. Will it show up as a negative in the report card grades?
Don't count on it. A couple of late scores aided by some good fortune do not erase the previous 45 minutes of stellar play. What matters is the Eagles picked up the W, and they made Washington look ugly in the process.
It's not the first time this season Philadelphia might've been guilty of letting up too quickly under Chip Kelly. The former collegiate head coach would do well to remember almost all NFL games last 60 minutes, or a better opponent may one day live to make his team regret it.
Just not this week. By virtue of their victory, the Eagles moved into sole possession of first place in the NFC East. The pressure will be on the Dallas Cowboys to respond next week while Philly rests up on a bye.
In our weekly report card grades, we score each individual position on some fairly simple criteria. "A" is virtually mistake-free, "B" is good, "C" is average, "D" is passable and "F" is a complete failure to carry out basic tasks. Everything the Birds did in this one was above average, with the lone exception being how they finished.

Good news, everyone! This month I bring to you the blogging equivalent of a Television clip show but limited entirely to listed information. In fact these are nine of the best lists of lists that I've ever listed before.
On top of that, it actually is quite a momentous occasion. You are all here to witness the first, truly un-objective Top Nine I've ever written for this site, thanks to the fact that I have ranked all of my previous Top Nine listings in reverse order not by my favorites (which would be pretty difficult, actually) but by how many views they have (at least as of today).
For those uninitiated to annoying numerical lists like these, this means the least viewed (although still respectable) Top Nine comes in at #9, and the most viewed settling down at good old #1.
Like usual.
So, which will be the top Top Nine and which will be the ninth Top Nine? Read on to find out in this month's: Top Nine: Top Nines Of All Time (As Of Right Now)
Last week you may have heard my good friend DINO KID spinning "Far From Homesick" (and some other incredible indie artists) on his Radio Rebel radio show, RADIOSAUR. If you didn't...we'll, you don't need me to tell you what a mistake you made.
Check out Dino Kid's show RADIOSAUR on RADIO REBEL & while you're there Download it for FREE!
On January 22nd through the 25th, a unknown part of Southern California will be hosting one of the largest gatherings in the world of unemployed musicians (outside of a college alumni reunion) for a full four day raging party / somber business meeting that highlights all the best musician endorsements and bored looking booth girls one could imagine all crammed into the same place as the other 350,000 attendees.
But, to be quite honest, it's not as bad as I'm making it sound. I've been going to NAMM for a number of years now and, while I've had a few years that weren't as awesome as I hoped (Pro Tip: Don't go there with a sprained ankle) and I've missed a few years here and there, more often than not, I still look forward to making the journey down to Anaheim and see the many sights and sounds the convention has to offer.
But maybe you're undecided? Perhaps you don't know what's in store for you when you visit the wonderful world of NAMM? Well, let me help you overcome your curiosity and fear and get us started with this month's Top Nine: Reasons You Should Go To NAMM (If You Can, That Is)
If you are an aspiring, intermediate or even a professional musician, you probably already know about the wonders of Reddit. On the off chance you don't, well let me welcome you to the new website that will persistently eat away the last remaining bit of your free time. But don't get me wrong; You definitely don't have to be a musician to enjoy Reddit- the site is useful for just about everybody. No matter what your interests are, Reddit has you covered.
Basically how Reddit works is like a kind of self-filtering forum where the best comments are (usually) brought to the top, and less helpful commenters end up below, making it easy to find some decent information and opinions on what you're looking for.
For a long time I've lurked over at Reddit and it's become very helpful for my career in a number of ways. Depending on what I'm up to at the moment, I check into the site and find a wealth of knowledge (some of which I'm looking for and some that I am glad to find randomly) thanks to experts, professionals and especially other musicians who are doing (or have done!) the same thing I'm doing.
You get this great community because Reddit is divided into areas of specific interest called sub-reddits, which basically narrows down what you are interested in (anything from music to music making to musicals to modern dance to your favorite books and authors and televisions shows, movies, to whatever you can think of) making the information you get more specific and therefore, more valuable.
For example, it's a great place to find out what DAW is most popular nowadays, how to get a specific synth sound, which strings are best for a classical guitar, or if a youtube channel is any good for learning jazz piano. If you don't see what you are looking for, then just submit your own post and get some answers yourself! But the problem is that there's hundreds or even thousands of these sub-reddits, and finding the best ones is often a daunting task made worse by how addictive the site can be.
So, let's take a good long look at the best of what Reddit has to offer us music-peddlers in this month's Top Nine: Best Sub-Reddits For Independent Musicians
Christmas has come a little bit early for me this year, thanks to a really solid review of my album "Pleasures" by the great indie blog Beach Sloth!
If you haven't yet, be sure to take a long hard read next time you get a few moments, and thanks again to Beach Sloth for the wonderful review!
Since I had such a positive response with my First Time Recording Tips edition of Top Nine last month, I thought I'd continue the trend of giving to my fellow producers (instead of bumming you out) with a short, but delightfully packed, Top Nine list full of the best Reason refills you can find.
Some free, some cheap, and others pricey as hell, but all of them worth it.
And also, before I forget, be sure to download the VOCAL HAZARD PACK II sample pack my friend Volterock and I put together for you. Yes, you! Listen to a sample track here (SOUNDCLOUD) and download (HERE).
So without any further ado, I present: Top Nine: Best Reason Refills
The brand new edition of VOCAL HAZARD PACK (by Volterock & undocument) is now out and absolutely FREE to download!
Our first sample pack has been downloaded over 2,000 (!) times, so we've come back hard and fast with
twice quadruple the amount of vocal samples perfect for your next creative endeavor, be it: Game design, DJ tracks, radio promos, podcasts, you name it! With over 700 samples there's bound to be something you mostly kinda like!
So if you are a content producer always on the prowl for new sounds, check out the VOCAL HAZARD PACK II by Volterock & undocument!

You could find it easier to hold your own with those in charge today, which may make you feel more secure. Having confidence in yourself and your abilities might be the reason for these feelings and might make it easier for you to stand up for what you believe in. Perhaps today you can set the intention to be resolute and determined in your interactions. Should the need arise to endorse an idea, proposal, or opinion, rather than backing down or remaining silent, you could make an effort to state your feelings in a firm but gentle way. It might be a good idea to take a deep breath to give yourself time to organize your thoughts and then ask the universe to guide you in what you should say. Doing so can not only make it easier to get your ideas across but might also increase your overall effectiveness.
Remaining firm in your convictions allows you to convey your ideas more successfully. Believing in your ideas is not always enough to be effective when you wish to persuade others. It is also important to be able to articulate your thoughts in a convincing way. When you have faith in yourself, give yourself time to articulate your ideas thoroughly and trust that the universe will help you as your ability to win over others becomes stronger. Others will respect you more for being true to what you believe in as well as for speaking your mind openly. Being true to your convictions will enable you to influence others successfully today.

Agthia Group, a leading food and beverage manufacturer, on Monday said its net sales grew 17 per cent year-on-year to Dh559 million in the first six months of 2011 ending 30 June.
The company said the growth was driven by consistent strong performance in the water and beverages business which delivered 26 per cent sales growth year on year; and a significant 14 per cent year on year growth in flour and animal feed business.
Water and beverages segment achieved sales growth of 26 per cent to record Dh155 million, while the flour and animal feed segment grew 14 per cent year on year to achieve Dh376 million.
Agthia's net profit for the first six months at Dh40 million reflects a drop of 25 per cent versus the same period last year.
This drop is mainly attributed to two factors (a) the continued increase in input cost of raw materials (grains and PET) and (b) during the same period last year company's flour business benefited from a decline in wheat prices which outpaced the drop in the market selling price of flour resulting in higher one off profit margin, according to the company's press release.
"We are pleased with Agthia's sales and volume growth momentum during the first half of the year. The rising input cost is a challenge; however, the Company is progressing well in line with its long term strategy to deliver business growth along with expansions into new categories," chairman of Agthia Group Rashed Mubarak Al Hajeri commented.

Famous Short Tribute Poems. Short Tribute Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Tribute short poems
If I were a woman of old,
What prayers I would pray for you, dear;
My pitiful tribute behold--
Not a prayer, but a tear.
The pitiless order of things,
Whose laws we may change not nor break,
Alone I could face it--it wrings
My heart for your sake.
THOU, who thy honour as thy God rever'st,
Who, save thy mind's reproach, nought earthly fear'st,
To thee this votive offering I impart,
The tearful tribute of a broken heart.
The Friend thou valued'st, I, the Patron lov'd;
His worth, his honour, all the world approved:
We'll mourn till we too go as he has gone,
And tread the shadowy path to that dark world unknown.
From ten thousand valleys the trees touch heaven;
On a thousand peaks cuckoos are calling;
And, after a night of mountain rain,
From each summit come hundreds of silken cascades.
...If girls are asked in tribute the fibre they weave,
Or farmers quarrel over taro fields,
Preside as wisely as Wenweng did....
Is fame to be only for the ancients?
You may vow I'll not forget
To pay the debt
Which to thy memory stands as due
As faith can seal it you.
--Take then tribute of my tears;
So long as I have fears
To prompt me, I shall ever
Languish and look, but thy return see never.
Oh then to lessen my despair,
Print thy lips into(the air,
So by this
Means, I may kiss thy kiss,
Whenas some kind
Shall hither waft it:--And, in lieu,
My lips shall send a thousand back to you.

Down a trail from Stadium Court, with its radar gun and 3,500 seats, Brenda Schultz struggled Tuesday to prove there was more to her game than a serve swifter than a Roger Clemens fastball.
Just when it appeared the defending OTB Open women's champion would become a first-round statistic on a Central Park surface unceremoniously named Court 6, she deserted her monstrous serve for drop shots and fades.
She fell back, forgot about draping her long arms in defense of the net, pounded out winners off baseline rallies, spun in serves instead of blasting away and survived her near-tennis-death experience.
Schultz, the fastest server on the Kraft Women's Tour, was a complete player while beating Pascale Paradis-Mangon, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. The 21-year-old Dutchwoman came back when her serve produced double faults instead of aces; rallied after not only losing the opening act, but after falling behind 4-1 in what could have been the decisive second set.
"I never think that that's it, because I've come back in so many matches in my life. I always have hope; maybe that's why I still pulled it out," said fourth-seeded Schultz, whose win here last August was her first pro tournament victory. "The first set I lost 6-4, and I didn't know what happened. I was tight, my serve wasn't working and I got down and that was
Schultz was one of four women's seeds to prevail Tuesday as top-seeded Helena Sukova, No. 2 Radka Zrubakova and No. 5 Laura Gildemeister advanced to the round of 16. Gildemeister, the 1989 OTB champion, beat American Susan Sloane-Lundy 6-3, 7-5, and Zrubakova took Barbara Paulus, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2.
Meanwhile, seventh-seeded Nicole Provis of Australia was upset by Meike Babel 7-6, 3-6, 6-2 in what overall is a very weak women`s draw.
Sukova stayed alive with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Dominique Monami, who upset the Czech at last year's Australian Open. "That`s the saddest part, she beat me in Australia," said Sukova, who next plays OTB regular Marianne Werdel. The American was a 6-2, 6-1 winner over Stephanie Rottier.
Monami played what Sukova called a frustrating match that didn't allow the Czech to learn the state of her game heading into the second round.
"It was very hard to find out because she was either going for winners or missing the ball," Sukova said. "It was hit or miss."
Schultz, whose only other championship came on grass in Birmingham, this year, next plays American Tami Whitlinger.
Trailing 4-1 in the second set, Schultz won the next seven games to discover herself suddenly up in the second set.
"I was feeling pretty good when I got up 4-1, but then she changed her strategy," Paradis-Mangon said. "She stayed back. We had a very important game at 4-2. I missed two easy volleys and allowed her to come back. She played better."
Schultz recorded important breaks at 5-4 of the second set and in the first game of the decisive set.
"I was playing poorly, but then something clicked. It was like 'OK, stay back,' and then I started winning the rallies with her," Schultz said. "I started to lay my serve in and just played in and won the rallies. I was a little bit lucky that she couldn't change with me."
Schultz said she also got a boost from the crowd of about 300, which lined up to watch behind a fence on a portable set of bleachers next to the court.
"There were some people yelling for me big-time and Pascale isn't that strong mentally," Schultz said. "When she lost her serve at 4-3, she knew I was back again."
Schultz said one fan charged her up more than the rest: a guy who yelled encouragement each time she won a game during her comeback.
"One crazy guy was just pulling for me big-time. That was pretty funny," Schultz said. "If I hadn't won here last year and people didn't know me, I might not have pulled this one out."
Schultz's all-around game suddenly makes her a threat to repeat here. A more complete game makes her serve even more effective, since no one else on the women's tour consistently reaches speeds of 100 mph or more.
"The first two games I just had to get used to it, although she didn't hit it as well as she usually does," said Paradis-Mangon, who also has one of the hardest serves on tour. "But I'm used to it because I practice with men who can hit the ball that hard."

BEDFORD - A Bedford County jury early today found a North Carolina evangelist guilty of 22 of 24 counts for the 2009 sexual assault of a then-11-year-old girl.
The jury's nearly two hours of deliberations occurred at the end of a marathon session in the case of the Rev. Walter Donald Bradshaw in Bedford County Court. Prior to deliberations, the second day of Bradshaw's trial lasted almost 13 hours with testimony, delays, closing arguments and jury instructions.
Bradshaw, 63, of Lexington, N.C., faced 24 charges, including rape and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. He was found not guilty of two counts of indecent assault.
Bradshaw has been jailed since his November 2010 arrest in North Carolina. The girl's mother, who was charged with bringing her daughter to a Bedford Township motel for Bradshaw where the girl was assaulted, pleaded no contest and is currently serving a two- to six-year state prison sentence.
Bradshaw will be required to undergo a Megan's Law evaluation by the Pennsylvania Sexual Offenders Assessment Board.
No date was scheduled for Bradshaw's sentencing.
The jury asked two questions of President Judge Thomas Ling before returning its verdict.
Bradshaw, a minister in the Protestant holiness movement, took the stand in his own defense and said he did not sexually assault the girl as claimed by the girl and the prosecution.
Bradshaw testified that the alleged victim, now 15, became "belligerent" when she demanded that he spend the night in bed with her at the motel. Bradshaw said he refused her requests and slept in a separate bed on the night of April 2, 2009.
During a lengthy cross-examination, Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins pressed Bradshaw on a phone conversation with the alleged victim that state troopers had recorded.
Bradshaw maintained that his repeated apologies to the girl during the call weren't references to a sex act.
"I was apologizing because she was lying and I knew she was lying," he testified.
At one point, Bradshaw angrily said he did not assault the girl. Higgins tried to make the point in his closing argument that Bradshaw's defense of himself was only passionate when he was accused for the more serious sex crimes.
"If you didn't go along with her, she could turn on you," Bradshaw said in explaining that the girl could be very vindictive.
Bradshaw's wife, Sharon, was a character witness on her husband's behalf.
"He was well-received, well-liked, well-loved and well-respected by everyone in the community from the youngest to the oldest," she said.
Defense attorney Thomas Crawford tried to hammer home the point that the girl could not be trusted with her testimony because she had repeatedly changed her story, including during a deposition.
"Occasionally she tells the truth. I'm just looking for a place where she does," he said.
Crawford told the jury that if it didn't believe the girl, there is no case because the charges rest on her testimony.
As he held a stack of greeting cards the girl sent to Bradshaw and his wife, Higgins told the jury that the girl loved the Bradshaws as grandparents but something changed her in 2009.
It was Walter Bradshaw's sexual assault of her, Higgins concluded to the jury.

As promised, I have now been sent some wonderful pictures of the bittern that was strolling around in front of Joist Fen viewpoint on Friday morning. They were taken by local photographer Ken Clegg. Enjoy:
What are you staring at?
I can show off if I want to!
Poised for the kill
The bitterning posture
That's all folks!
I am so jealous!
This poem was very kindly sent to us from Richard Whiting from the poetry aloud group in Bury St Edmunds. Enjoy!
The first crane we saw
Was a grey heron;
Masked, comic-book hero
Shallows stalker, fish-eyed,
Statue still.
The next a bittern
In rare flight
Head curled back
Like a lord
Being driven to the races
His pan-piping friends
Left to their secrets.
Between rattling trains
We watched Marsh Harriers sky-dance
Letting the earth race
To meet them
As they tumbled and fell
Into the arms of love.
Then, low over the reeds
A cuckoo, heavy with egg
Scouted for Warbler nests
As foster homes
In moments usually reserved
For the small-screen
During which all gatherings
Of breath were suspended.
In the old match-woods
The fleeting sight
Of a Golden Oriole
Gold, black, exotic
Fluting his enigmatic echoes
Across this jungle of Suffolk.
Night drops in veils;
Two barn owls quarter
The far fields
Each ghosting across the grasslands
Silent death
To voles and shrews,
Life for their nestlings
Destined for days like these
In the years to come.
Ah, but no cranes!
The car fills with memories
Of all we have seen;
The talk seeps through
The windows and out
Into the dark
Fenland night
Where, no doubt
The cranes dance and stalk
In secret celebration
At another successful
Undercover operation!
But then, the joy
Of all we have seen,
And the joy
Of what is yet to come.
After the miserable day that was Thursday, the sunshine returned on Friday. That's not to say that nothing was seen on Thursday though, as a bittern was lurking around near the visitor centre pond!
Site staff have recently strimmed some areas near both viewpoints and also by the visitor centre pond, in the hope of making some of our reedbed specialities easier to see. We certainly haven't been disappointed............
On Friday morning, two of our locals were sat in the shelter at Joist Fen viewpoint, and were treated with the incredible sight of a bittern skulking around right in front of them in the newly strimmed area! This bird seemed to be comfortable with being watched and several cracking photos were taken of it. They will hopefully be sent to me, so watch this space!
There were also plenty of bearded tits pinging nearby and hanging off of the reeds like little moustached trapeze artists. Several marsh harriers were hunting effortlessly nearby, obviously enjoying the morning sunshine.
A kingfisher was seen from New Fen viewpoint later on in the day. This bird certainly seems to be a regular customer in that area at the moment! A mouse-like treecreeper was also seen in West Wood, which is a good record at this time of year.
After almost a month of absence, "our" five cranes reappeared yesterday and were all seen from Joist Fen viewpoint. Who knows where they've been and we hope they stick around for a while! There was also a large flock of whooper swans feeding in the fields north of the river, so it is well worth looking out for them.

Welcome to the Forum, Ian!
Congrats on your success so far, man! That's awesome!
As for the headaches. Prior to starting to go Primal my wife and I did some crazy detox type program where we cut sugar and all completely. I used to drink a Monster Energy Drink every morning, a few Diet Cokes throughout the day, and another 2-3 Diet cokes with dinner.
Going cold turkey for me on the sugary stuff wasn't bad at all. My wife on the other hand, who didn't drink nearly as much sugar or caffeine as me, had a horrible time with headaches and we narrowed it down to her not drinking enough water and getting next to no sleep. On the days she made it a point to add another 8-16oz's of water she had a much easier time.
So I guess it's luck of the draw, but sleep and water will definitely help either way. Also you might want to think of the occasional fruit here and there. Natural sugar might help more with the headaches and still not be a horrible thing for you to eat.
Good luck!

Customized Instruction Institute---BIG HIT!Sept. 6, 2012
A very successful 3-day Customized Instruction Institute was held at Baylor August 6-8, co-sponsored by Waco Independent School District and Baylor University's School of Education. The 60 participants included educators from Professional Development and Partner campuses in Waco ISD, Robinson ISD, and Midway ISD in addition to several members of the Baylor University School of Education faculty.

Dr. Jon Engelhardt, Dean of the Baylor School of Education, and Dr. Bonny Cain, Superintendent of Waco independent School District, brought greeting in the mornings. Four keynote addresses engaged participants in exploring goals and strategies for customizing instruction. Baylor's Dr. Susan Johnsen, Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, introduced the institute with a keynote entitled "Customizing for Individual Differences". Opening the second day of the institute, Dr. Joyce VanTassel-Baska, the Smith Professor Emerita at the College of William and Mary guided teachers in "Designing Content-based Units of Instruction."

Can you define these popular missing words?
Top Definition
What an affectionate dog (often a puppy) does to a person or sometimes another dog they like. A chibble is done with front teeth and is very quick in motion. It is not biting because the mouth does not open wide and it is not a form of aggression. Chibbling is the series of chibbles. Sometimes a chibble can pinch so it is important to know the. Dog is showing affection not trying to injure.
When a puupy sees a person she/he loves the dog shows love by chibbling on the human's skin or clothes.
