Mini Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins.
Perfectly little pumpkin muffins coated with cinnamon sugar. They taste like your favorite pumpkin muffins from the bakery!
I make these muffins often and updated the photos in August 2014.
To me, pumpkin knows no seasons. I sorta kinda eat it all year round if I can find it. 🙂
Pumpkin + vanilla Greek yogurt + pinch of cinnamon = best fruit dip ever in my world. My mom's pumpkin pie is legendary. Hands down my favorite fall food EVER. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin & peanut butter (trust me), pumpkin cream cheese anything, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin pie milkshakes (!!!)… I could go on forever.
When I see it on the shelves, I stock up. I'm a pumpkin hoarder. So, I'm excited to bring you my first pumpkin recipe of the season.
Itty bitty teeny tiny baby pumpkin muffins coated in cinnamon sugar. Kind of like a cross between a muffin and a donut. A muffin donut hole, if you will. Except these are whole wheat and are baked, not fried.
I've seen 4398579 pumpkin muffins all over the web, cookbooks, magazines etc. I based my recipe off of my Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Muffins. And it was a fine choice, I must say. The pumpkin flavor is front and center. They're a little dense, but not "heavy" tasting.
What's most important about this recipe is that you make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie filling! Libby's is my favorite.
The muffins aren't TOO sweet, which is why I dumped them in cinnamon sugar, obviously. They also looked a tad naked without it. Cinnamon sugar is always a necessity, if you ask me.
Bite-sized treats always just seem to taste better, no? I threw some into a baggie and had them at work for breakfast this week with my Keurig pumpkin spice coffee.
I'm welcoming fall flavors with open arms.
Mini Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins
Yield: 20-24 mini muffins
Perfectly little pumpkin muffins coated with cinnamon sugar. They taste like your favorite pumpkin donuts from the bakery!
Mini Muffins
- 1 and 3/4 cup white-whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup milk
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and stir for about 1 minute. Add the vanilla, pumpkin puree, and milk. Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir together until just combined - do NOT overmix.
- Using a small spoon, spoon the batter into the muffin tins, about 2/3 way full. For ease, I used a small spoon sprayed with nonstick spray so that the batter easily fell off the spoon into the tin without using my fingers.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the muffins are cooling, make the coating. Combine the sugar and cinnamon a small dish. In a separate small dish, melt the butter. Once the muffins are relatively cool, dip into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar.
- Make ahead tip: Muffins stay soft, fresh, and moist at room temperature for 3-5 days. Muffins freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat up (if desired) before enjoying.

So I made these this morning and completely forgot the milk. LOL, they are still tasty but I know the moist factor is completely lacking because of my dunderhead move. I know I should have waited until a nap took place as I was too sleep deprived to accomplish such an easy mission. I love to bake but hate wasting ingredients. I shall be trying this recipe again tonight or tomorrow morning… depending upon my energy level. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I do love pumpkin 🙂
Hi Sally! I was thinking about maybe making these for some friends. Do you think that I could stuff them with caramel or chocolate, and still get good results? Also, how long do these stay good, and what kind of frosting would compliment them the best? I really appreciate your time and effort! Thanks, Sally! 😀
Made these last eve, followed directions per the recipe with NO changes and they turned out perfectly delicious & moist and not too sweet. I took them to work for a am meeting and everyone really enjoyed them. easy to pop into your mouth and goes extremely well with coffee! Thanks for such an easy great recipe.

Two First Nights. Dozens of performers and shows. Thirty-six degrees.
That's the numerical rundown for tonight's two family-friendly New Year's Eve celebrations, in Haddonfield and Mount Holly.
This morning, event coordinators were cruising around Haddonfield posting signs and making final arrangements for the celebration.
The event, now in its 15th year, is even more grand this year as the borough starts observing its 300th anniversary. Thousands are expected to attend.
Fireworks at 9 p.m. with a countdown for kids will be followed by the cutting of an elaborately decorated three-layer cake reflecting Haddonfield's history, including its Native American heritage of the Indian King, and archaeological discovery of the famous Hadrosaurus.

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The hotel is close to the airport and convenient to everything. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. The rooms were clean and spacious for an airport hotel. The bed is comfortable and sheets are clean.
Very nice hotel and staff. We also liked the restaurant. Very convenient when leaving early in the morning. You just have to cross the street. We will absolutely recommend this hotel - and in general the Novotel chain
Basically what you would expect from an airport hotel and Novotel. Some staff where great other just doing their job. Food OK but not the best I've had in a Novotel by some way. Bathroom shower sprays out of the bath leaving a very wet floor. Bed were very comfortable and no problem with noise so a good nights sleep.
Dear guest, Thank you for your comment on Tripadvisor. I have taken note of the little things that bothered you and see with the different heads of service improvements we could make it. We will be pleased to welcome you again Best regards Virginie MARTIN
Staff was friend and very help. Store my car roof box in order that I could park in their 1.8m underground parking. However, staff should have notified us that check in before 12 noon will result in additional charges. This was later removed. Very good experience - entire family was please with service and qualify of the hotel.

- - Jon Jones labels Dan Henderson as a one trick pony (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/104333-jon-jones-labels-dan-henderson-one-trick-pony.html)
Jon Jones labels Dan Henderson as a one trick pony
Someones looking awfully confident.
Strictly business yet this is the kind of attitude thats frowned upon? why? I dont get it
I don't care much for him but he will absolutely dominate Hendo. Finish in 2 rounds. Hope I'm wrong.
One trick pony is not an accurate observation ...If that trick connects it's more like a one trick horse.
1 Attachment(s)
Well that "one-trick" has seen off Bisping, Feijao, Babalu, Shogun, Fedor.....do I need to go on?
I think some are failing to grasp what he meant by this. The one trick pony remark has nothing to do with who he beat, but by how he did it. Its true that he's a one trick pony, if he doesn't get the KO, he has nothing else going for him, at all. He has no TDD, hardly ever throws combinations and doesn't exactly have the best takedowns despite being an olympic wrestler.
Stop grasping at straws and making JBJ look like the bad guy again, what he says is nothing but true.
1 Attachment(s)
oh yeah I understand that, but I'm just saying he was good enough at that trick to beat those elite fighters. If Jones gets hit by this trick then he's another big name in a long list.
They say the same thing about Ronda Rousey, that shes a one trick pony for arm bars.
When Hendo used to land the H-bomb in earlier fights, I thought it was very fortunate and lucky. He almost telegraphs it and doesnt set it up with the right strikes. It is basic rudimentary striking but his opponents cant seem to avoid it.
Full respect to Hendo as he has shown it isnt a lucky punch and Jones better not underestimate this supposed one trick punch. If it lands then Jones could very well be tucked into bed and put asleep.

Skip to comments.SNL has real McCains and "Sarah Palin" (Fey) on now.
Posted on 11/01/2008 8:36:08 PM PDT by vladimir998
Not bad so far.
can you give a play by play
Good spot.
And, a good sport, too, Mac
McCain Fine Gold bit was the best part.
They're hawking stuff on QVC. Pretty funny.
That was great. McCaiin's really good comedic timing for someone who's so dry when he's giving a speech.
They are promoting QVC shopping network, it is rather silly with Tina Fey going rougue and promoting a 2012 t shirt.
I thought he was GREAT! Very funny...McCain Fine Gold. LOL My team McCain/Palin make me proud that they have a sense of humor and can deliver it just right.
His appearance probably didn't get him any votes, though it might have, but it definitely didn't lose him any either.
I'm shocked at the long skit they gave him - and Cindy on there too! They gave him some good material - pretty funny stuff.
Not bad, not bad at all!!
McCain's Fine-gold!! LOL!!!
That was funny as hell...Cindy was there, as well.
Pretty good in the opening. Teh said they couldn't afford network TV time like Obama so they are doing theirs on QVC.
McCain was great
Cindy McCain surprise hit
Overall fine
That skit may get hims some serious votes. It was a hoot.
However, Ben is a loser, not funny and can't deliver it very well.
I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop though. I will not be surprised if BO is a surprise guest.
It was awesome. Cindy McCain was on also. I was surprised that Tina Fey even gave a couple good jabs against 0bama/Biden.
I noticed that Tina gave McCain a big smile toward at the end when he said, "Live from New York..."
Doesn't seem like much, but, for her, that's a miracle.
It was setup as a QVC spot (the only channel the campaign can afford) with McCain & Palin, and guest Cindy McCain, selling commemorative blank plates of the Town Hall debates, jewelry, etc. with Sarah speaking asides to the camera that she'll either be in the WH or the next Oprah.
Well — could help, probably didn't hurt.
Still hate the smugness of SNL.
Did I just hear Ben say he was supporting McCain?
LOL...They are bashing the view now....hahahahaha
I lked the snide remark about liberals and first ammendment rights - pretty courageous of Fey!
The other shoe might be the long awaited Keith Olderman skit. Supposedly it "savages" KO. Maybe Obama will appear then?
The SNL writers are correct — Sarah isn't going away.
Most of it was good, but I have trouble understanding why he'd appear with someone who's spent the past 6 weeks mocking his running mate, insulting her and her family, and generally abhorring every thing she stands for. I mean, you'd like to think McCain would be sticking up for her more than essentially endorsing Tina Fey's impression
The blank collector plates...a not-so-subtle reminder of the ten town hall debates that Obama decllined to participate in...
Go to Youtube and watch his comedy routine from the Alfred Smith Dinner. He knocked it out of the park, and made a fool of NObama.
one jab at Biden — and nothing at Bambi — recycled the same dumb false story about Palin 2012...
If he did, then, I better get in the bomb shelter because the world is about to end.
Hey, I thought the skit was VERY favorable to both McCain and Palin! Johnny Mac came off very well. And it was funny, too. "McCain Fine Gold"!
Thanks Joe.
Yes, since every Presidential candidate he has supported (since Mondale) has lost -- he announced his endorsement for McCain.
A lame joke, but it was moderately funny.
Lighten up baby.
I'll bet a dollar to a donut that Obama is being given the sweet spot on the special Monday night prime time SNL, night before the election and all.
Tina gay him a real smile at the end, I think she likes him.
Did anyone catch Fey when she brushed her lapel with her hand at the begining of the skit...LOL!
Even when Tina Fey held up the Palin in 2012 t-shirt the New York audience cheered. It didn't laugh, it didn't jeer, it didn't boo - it cheered. That must've stung.

China recently began offering its HQ-16 VLS (Vertical Launch System) anti-aircraft missile for export. This system is a license built (or using stolen tech) version of the Russian Buk M2 anti-aircraft missile systems. These are the latest version of the SAM-6 class missiles, that proved so effective in the 1973 Arab Israeli war. The M2E missiles weigh 328 kg (720 pounds) and have a max range of 50 kilometers. The land based version has four missiles carried on a tracked vehicle. The target acquisition radar has a range of over 150 kilometers. The export version is called the LY-80.
The HQ-16 naval version has the missiles fired out of a vertical storage/launch cell that is flush with the deck of the ship. This is a system pioneered by the United States. This is one reason China has developed new ship designs to replace the Russian ones it has been using for over half a century. The first of these is the 4,300 ton Type 54 frigate. This ship is based on Western, not Russian, design concepts. Twelve of these have been built so far, plus ten to the more advanced Type 054A standard (each of which has 32 VLS cells for HQ-16 missiles.)

Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips often mentions that he's ready to assume a greater leadership role. So, like Reds middle infield captains Davey Concepcion and Barry Larkin before him, he wants the Reds to be "his team."
Now, finally, he's playing like it.
Chalk it up to an extra year of maturity, or the greater sense of purpose in the Reds clubhouse (Cincinnati finally crashed the playoff party last season), or the fact that Phillips is in a contract year and searching for an extension.
Regardless of the reason, the Reds Gold Glover has been scalding hot out of the gate.
With a .331 batting average, Phillips has teamed with incumbent-MVP Joey Votto to keep the Reds (starting pitching woes be damned) afloat in a tightly-packed National League Central race.
At 13-13, the Reds were understandably unsatisfied with their April. However, since then, they've reeled off 11 wins to go with six losses, and continue to be a character-rich, never-say-die squad; a trait that developed last season and has been influenced largely by Phillips.
Watching Phillips perform at such a high level so far this season as been enthralling. A specimen at the plate and an acrobat at second, Phillips' explosive first month-and-a-half has Reds fans wondering just how epic the future of the right side of the infield can be (assuming Phillips gets signed to a long-term deal).
And, in that vein, the Cincinnati right side tandem has this fan wondering if a better duo exists anywhere in the game.
Read on for my top 10 first/second base duos.

Social Security Administration:
Further Actions Needed to Address Disability Claims and Service Delivery Challenges
GAO-09-511T: Published: Mar 24, 2009. Publicly Released: Mar 24, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5988
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
For years, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has experienced challenges managing a large disability workload and making timely decisions. In fiscal year 2006, SSA made about 3.7 million disability claims decisions, while over a million were awaiting a decision. Further, SSA has faced staffing challenges and difficulties managing its workloads at its network of approximately 1,300 field offices, where millions of people go to apply for disability and retirement benefits, to obtain Social Security cards, and for a host of other services. The Subcommittees on Income Security and Family Support, and on Social Security, House Committee on Ways and Means, asked GAO to address (1) key service delivery challenges facing SSA, particularly with respect to the backlog of disability claims, and (2) steps SSA is taking to address these challenges. This testimony is based primarily on reports assessing trends in disability claims processing and backlogs, steps SSA is taking to reduce the backlog, and other challenges SSA faces in meeting future service delivery needs. Certain information was updated to reflect recent legislative changes.
In recent years, SSA has experienced a growing backlog of disability claims and deteriorating customer service at field offices. SSA's total backlog of disability claims doubled from 1997, reaching 576,000 in 2006, which has resulted in claimants waiting longer for final decisions. The backlog was particularly acute at the hearings level. SSA also experienced declines in field office service delivery, with average customer wait times in field offices increasing by 40 percent from 2002 to 2006, and over 3 million customers waiting more than 1 hour to be served in 2008. Two key factors likely contributed to the backlog and service delivery challenges: (1) staffing reductions or turnover of field office staff and key personnel involved in the disability claims process, and (2) increased workloads. In particular, initial applications for disability benefits grew by more than 20 percent over the past 10 years. SSA projects further increases in workloads as the baby boom generation reaches its disability-prone years and retires. SSA has taken steps to improve its disability claims process, reduce the claims backlog, and manage its field office workloads, but some efforts were hampered by poor planning and execution while others are too recent to evaluate. In 2006, SSA introduced a comprehensive set of reforms to improve the efficiency, accuracy and timeliness of the disability claims process. However, this initiative produced mixed results and many aspects were suspended to focus on the hearings backlog and other priorities. While final decisions regarding many aspects of this reform are pending, SSA outlined a new plan in 2007 that concentrates on clearing out backlogged cases at the hearings level. GAO is currently reviewing this plan as part of its ongoing work. To address overall workloads and maintain customer service, SSA has shifted workloads to less busy offices and deferred workloads it deemed lower priority. However, deferring certain workloads, such as continuing eligibility reviews, can result in beneficiaries receiving payments who no longer qualify. In response to a recent GAO recommendation, SSA agreed to develop a single service delivery plan to help it better manage future service delivery challenges. However, it remains unclear how SSA will address current and future challenges given its current service delivery infrastructure and resource constraints.

In Wednesday's 6-4 defeat to the Boston Red Sox, designated hitter Mike Piazza suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder while running the bases.
He's estimated to miss the next four to six weeks.
"Obviously, it's not good for us, but we'll do our best to keep fighting every day," manager Bob Geren said.
It's the latest of a rash of injuries the A's have been hit with. They already have right-handers Rich Harden and Esteban Loaiza on the disabled list, along with outfielders Milton Bradley and Bobby Kielty (though Bradley is expected back May 8). That's not to mention outfielder Mark Kotsay, who is on the 60-day DL while recovering from back surgery.
The A's also announced after Wednesday's game that they had traded outfielder Ryan Langerhans to the Washington Nationals for fellow outfielder Chris Snelling.
Langerhans had just been acquired Sunday from Atlanta for a player to be named or cash. He started each of the past two games in center field for the A's.
Snelling is a player the A's have had their eyes on for some time. He was a top prospect in the Seattle Mariners organization for the past few years before being traded to Washington this off-season in the Jose Vidro trade. Snelling is a career .312 hitter in the minor leagues, and, at 25 years old, appears to be someone with upside.
The Australian's career has been sidetracked by numerous injuries, mostly to his knees. He was struggling for the Nationals this season, batting only .204 with one homer in 24 games (49 at-bats). He did have a .361 on-base percentage and should be an upgrade over Langerhans, who was hitting .068 when he arrived in Oakland and went hitless in two games with the A's.
Snelling is expected to join the A's in Tampa for Friday's game. The A's will also have to place Piazza on the DL and add another player to the roster. That player has yet to be determined.
Hiram Bocachica would appear to be a top candidate, but he can't be added to the A's roster for another 12 days. Because he was removed from the A's 25-man roster in February and re-added as a non-roster player, major league rules stipulate that Bocachica remain off the A's 25-man roster for the first 45 days of the season. That should make him eligible around May 15, at which time he is likely to be added to the A's depleted outfield.
Other candidates to replace Piazza could be top prospect Daric Barton, although Barton has struggled in Triple-A this season, or Erubiel Durazo, who spent the spring with the A's but was cut before the start of the season. He is currently playing for Monterrey of the Mexican League and is hitting .421 with three homers.
The River Cats' best hitter besides Bocachica this season has been second baseman Kevin Melillo, who is hitting .320 with an 890 OPS. He isn't likely to be added because the A's are already carrying three players capable of playing second base (Mark Ellis, Marco Scutaro and Todd Walker), but the A's could decide to turn to Melillo if they are looking for a spark at the top of the order. He has a .410 OBP so far this season and could DH for the A's while Piazza is out.
Oakland has the day off today, so they won't likely make an announcement until later in the day.

Jenny-Approved Hamburger-Spinach-Tomato-Pasta One Dish Meal
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 10 mins
My family loves this dish which tastes especially good as left-overs. This is the perfect middle of the week meal when you don't want the pressure of coming up with several dishes to serve. It's a very healthy meal -- I recommend using either whole wheat or PLUS pasta and 'no salt added' diced tomatoes and then seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper. Hint: If you're really in a rush and need to save time, use powdered garlic instead of fresh; use 1 can stewed tomatoes in place of 1 can diced tomatoes and the chopped onions; and either omit the carrots or use the pre-shredded carrots you can find in the produce section at larger grocery stores.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (either chopped or use a press)
- 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen spinach
- 1 cup carrot, shredded
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (Whole Foods has an excellent Crushed Tomatoes with Rosemary, but you can use regular crushed tomatoe)
- 8 ounces macaroni (Barilla Plus elbows are best)
- Put a pot of water on to boil.
- Brown the ground beef with the chopped onions and garlic.
- Add pasta to boiling water -- cook as long as advised by box directions.
- Put frozen spinach and shredded carrots into a microwave-safe bowl and zap (cook in the microwave) for 7 minutes (stir at about 4 minutes).
- Add both cans of tomatoes to cooked meat, stir, and simmer for a few minutes.
- Add spinach and carrots to the meat mixture, stir, and simmer for a few minutes.
- Drain pasta and place in a HUGE serving dish.
- Put meat and veggie mixture into the HUGE serving dish and mix thoroughly with the pasta.
- Serve hot.

Was great!! Easy to make!! Even my autistic 2 year old ate it! And there's not many mixed meals he will eat!! Used ground turkey and cut the calories in half. I think maybe needs a little Italian Seasoning though. Might try some next time I make it...
This sounds amazing! I am making it tonight, with whole wheat pasta, and beans for protein. I think it will be so good and healthy!
This was delicious, I had some bok choy in my garden so I used that instead, chopped it and added it to the cooked hamburger with the carrots. It tasted delicious right in the pan, but I put it in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes and of course had to add some parmesan cheese on top!! Thanks the carrots really add great flavor and the bok choy was nice it is a little more tangy than spinach.

Anna Marie's Alliance is a remarkable organization. The services they provide for women in abusive relationships help these women and often their children on so many levels. They not only provice them with a safe haven, but also help them to get back on their feet and continue to help them after leave. I have known people that have needed to go to Anna Marie's and they spoke very highly of their experience.

After legal pressure from environmental groups and seven states including Oregon, the Environmental Protection Agency is now proposing stricter standards for new woods stoves and heaters.
The EPA announced Friday it's proposing updated standards to reduce air pollution by wood stoves and wood heaters, which are popular and prevalent in the Northwest, especially rural areas. The new regulations won't go into effect until 2015 and will only impact new stoves and heaters.
In Oregon, homes with wood burning stoves that don't meet performance standards under the Clean Air Act have to be removed before the property is sold. So the standards for what type of stove you can have in a house you sell will be going up. Oregon officials told Northwest Watchdog this is just what they were looking for.

Consulates of Mexico, El Salvador To Help Educate Workers on Rights, Responsibilities
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Department of Labor in conjunction with the Mexican and Salvadorian Consulates in Dallas and other community, faith-based and governmental organizations today launched the Justice and Equality in the Workplace Program of Dallas. The program seeks to educate workers on their rights and responsibilities as well as provide an avenue for non-English speakers to report violations of laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Wage and Hour Division and Office of Federal Contract Compliance.
"The Administration is committed to protecting the well being of the over 14.5 million Hispanic workers in our country," U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao said. "We want to help Hispanic workers realize the American dream and be an integral part of the American workforce."
The partnership seeks to educate Hispanics and recent immigrant workers on their rights and responsibilities as well as encourage them to report violations of laws enforced by the Department of Labor and other federal agencies. The partnership also formalizes a shared commitment by the Labor Department and Consulates of Mexico and El Salvador to work together through information sharing and mutual support to promote justice, safety, and equality in the workplace.
A telephone line will be dedicated to receive inquiries from the public and channel those calls to the appropriate federal or state agency. OSHA, Wage and Hour Division and OFCCP will conduct training sessions and provide assistance the Mexican Consulate in Dallas with the tools necessary to refer complaints to appropriate DOL agencies.
The Houston Justice and Equality in the Workplace Program, which was created in July 2001, has already aided the Wage and Hour Division to recover over $1.3 million in back wages for 1,900 workers as the result of investigations initiated by referrals from the partnership. OSHA, with the help of the Justice and Equality in the Workplace Program, will disseminate health and safety information, compliance assistance information and enforcement of health and safety laws. Nearly 70% of all calls at the Houston program were referred to the Department of Labor.
Program participants include the U.S. Department of Labor, the EEOC, and the U. S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service, in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate of Dallas, the Consulate General of El Salvador in Dallas, the Catholic Charities of Dallas, Inc., The Dallas Concilio, the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, the Dallas Police Department Office of Community Affairs, Casa del Immigrant, and the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Girls feel more anger, sadness than boys when friends offend

While violent video games may lead to more aggression and anger in players, a new study shows that the opposite is also true: relaxing video games can make people happier and more kind.
(Medical Xpress) -- A baby is set on the floor to play with other babies and she yanks a toy away from a playmate or shoves him in frustration or anger.
Anger is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage. The physical effects of anger include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. The English term originally comes from the term angr of Old Norse language. Anger can lead to many things physically and mentally.
The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times in public acts of aggression. Humans and non-human animals for example make loud sounds, attempt to look physically larger, bare their teeth, and stare. Anger is a behavioral pattern designed to warn aggressors to stop their threatening behavior. Rarely does a physical altercation occur without the prior expression of anger by at least one of the participants. While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of "what has happened to them," psychologists point out that an angry person can be very well mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability.
Modern psychologists view anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival. Anger can mobilize psychological resources for corrective action. Uncontrolled anger can however negatively affect personal or social well-being. While many philosophers and writers have warned against the spontaneous and uncontrolled fits of anger, there has been disagreement over the intrinsic value of anger. Dealing with anger has been addressed in the writings of earliest philosophers up to modern times. Modern psychologists, in contrast to the earlier writers, have also pointed out the possible harmful effects of suppression of anger. Displays of anger can be used as a manipulation strategy for social influence.

Richard Morrison has a fantastic piece in today's Times about a summer school performance of The Creation conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras. It's one of those rare pieces that conveys the spirit of a performance, and makes you feel almost as if you were there.
Here's my question: has Sir Charles ever conducted a less than superb performance. In 30 years, I've never heard one.

80 Laid Off at Monolith
Exiting the MMO business leaves some without a job.
Monolith Productions will be laying off 80 employees as a result of the recently announced deal to move development of The Matrix Online and the in-development DC Comics MMO to Sony Online Entertainment, reports The Seattle Times.
Monolith is currently developing the first-person-shooter F.E.A.R. for Vivendi Universal Games and Condemned: Criminal Origins for Sega.
When the deal was announced, Sony Online Entertainment confirmed to 1UP.com job offers had been extended to 25 former Matrix Online team members.
Unfortunately, as Monolith is now wholly exciting MMO development, not everyone will leave the company with a safe place to land.

My god!!! So maybe we'll see 'Neo,' too! That would be SWa-Heet! No other MMO has done this, huh? Can't wait for this Matrix online!!! How much does it cost monthly, anyway?
neat idea..Posted: Mar 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by Philosophear
sounds pretty in depth, but I didn't expect less from the matrix. They did a good job of bringing us into the movies. I just wonder how long online will stay online and how long the story will last. I am thinking about getting it but might not. I doubt I could even be online to catch all of the cut scenes and stories either..
wowPosted: Mar 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by dragoun
now that is different an whole team to inter act with the players as one of the main characters. you can make an impact if you are one of the people who gets to do something with them. I think it is cool but we will have to see how it all works out.
March...Posted: Mar 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by O_Lightbringer_O
Wow, I didn't know it's coming out this soon, I thought it was ways away until it comes out.
Free TrialPosted: Mar 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by Madimus Max
They just had a free trial (trial expired tuesday) and after 2 hours of playtime, the game sucks. Well the controls are a POS. They tried to make it like a fluid real life movement aspect to it, but I think it fell short. Basically.. I want to turn... but in order to turn, I must hold down the right mouse button, or maybe it's the left button... anyways THATS where my problem is! There is no free look button I press! It's like the left is to turn, while the right is to rotate the camera. However, when you do either one, it LOOKS like the same thing! So I'm like, hey I'll turn right... oh wait no I just rotated the camera... no wait the camera didn't rotate, my guy just doesn't turn unless I walk forward. Stupid. The combat is very different too. Imagine playing WOW or COH.. you go up to some guy to fight... only to have to actually click on the guy and say, close combat. Now your guy runs up to him... some more... and it switches to like Mortal Kombat view. You press attacks that are sent down into this like 3 second que thing that is confusing as hell (since you can't que up different attacks)... and your little picture buttons are then sent flying at the guy... like it's an attack. Okay bad explanation, but piss ass combat system to go with it. The graphics are kinda bleh to me. My guy looks like he's running on air, he jumps like a white guy... but he's black. Yeah thats right, Ray Charles is in the Matrix. Course I couldn't give him grey hair... but I could give him purple hair! I think I'm spoiled by COH's extensive character creation tool. I thought it would be cool to have gun fights in the matrix, but it's the same thing as the close combat system... but worse... since you either press the "shoot attack" button or the umm... "shoot attack" button. No difference. And then just sit back and watch... not like it matters for you to move your guy around pretending to dodge or duck... wait you can't duck. The only thing I regret not doing is climbing up one of the many ladders conviently located on all sides of buildings and jumping off. Plus I downloaded a 1 gig installer thing only to end up (seemingly) to download it again through the little updater thing.
InterestingPosted: Mar 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by davidbabylon
This game gets more and more interesting sounding. I might even give this game a try if they offer a free trial. But I also find Star Wars Galaxies very interesting and the only reason I don;t play that is because World of Warcraft owns me.
some of the dialog:Posted: Mar 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by n25philly
Here is some of the dialog these characters will be saying, straight from an inside source. "I need a new agent." "How did I get stuck doing voice work for a Matrix game." "You're paying to play this?" (followed by lots of laughter) "Everquest II and WoW just went down in price, do yourself a favor and go play them."
Getting better...Posted: Mar 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by MoonSaultKid
This gets more and more interesting by the day. If the NPC interactions and other gameplay mesh well enough, this could be (almost) as big as Everquest II and World of Warcraft.
let's waitPosted: Mar 06, 2005 12:00AM PST by swiggy3000
Who knows this could be what we thought Enter the Matrix was going to be instead of what it was. I mean let's just give it a chance. (Note: That was sarcasim, Matrix online will suck)
LamePosted: Mar 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by DarkStar109
This matrix online crap sounds really lame
Matrix On-What?Posted: Feb 16, 2005 12:00AM PST by Madimus Max
I think I've read one or two articles on this and it sounds rather pathetic. Code = Money in the game and everyone starts out as just some nobody walking around (that second part is fine with me really). The fighting is more repitious looking then any other MMO game out there and it's made even better with some blocky looking graphics. I don't understand how they think they can compete with best sellers out there like WOW and City of Heroes (oh and that Evercrap 2).
Yeah, hes rightPosted: Feb 16, 2005 12:00AM PST by reigningmarinegamer
Nobody gives a damn about Matrix unless it has something to do about Neo. And about MMOs, it depends on if u like FPS or RPGs. So it basically boils down to WoW or HalfLife 2(Deathmatch and Counterstrike:Source). Everquest 2 bites ass and Star Wars Galaxies and Final Fantasy (which is truly meant to be 1 player)
WoW owns all....Posted: Feb 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by davidbabylon
As a former player of Final Fantasy XI and current World of Warcraft junkie I can honestly say Matrix Online isn;t causing even the smallest of blips on my radar screen.
i dont know if you guys knew...Posted: Feb 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by GrayFOXpr
MMO's are huge....i mean HUGE.I play FFXI and Vana'Diel is really big world.I think that you pay just because of that,plus,your character is saved on their servers,not on your HDD.They provide you with a problem free service,that's why you pay.Unlike Socom II,(which no one pays to play it)that game can really have problem with the servers.People getting booted outta games,cheaters,glitches and a buttload of people getting their rank erased with no reason whatsoever.When you try one,you'll understand.And hey, first month on all MMO's is free,give it a try...
Never Liked MMOsPosted: Feb 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by PsycicGirl
Why should you pay to play a game each month?! Sounds like a waste of money to me, but that is just my opinion.
I played the demo from fileplanetPosted: Feb 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by reigningmarinegamer
U could only play the demo or beta one day, i wasn't impressed so far.
$$$Posted: Feb 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by kanashibari
More like 20 which is already higher than the high caliber MMORPGs.

Tuesday night, Embry live-Tweeted a viewing of the 1995 cult classic, which follows a day in the lives of a group of indie record shop employees as they prepare for an appearance by washed-up pop star Rex Manning (Maxwell Caulfield).
Embry, who held a similar celebration for another one of his beloved '90s teen flicks, Can't Hardly Wait, in January, treated fans to his candid commentary on the movie, enlisting help from costar Johnny Whitworth.
So, where would Mark be today? "Probably in prison, or working at Spotify," Embry recently told PEOPLE.

All American Martial Arts is one of the best Tae Kwon Do schools in Oklahoma in my opinion. It's not just Tae Kwon Do they teach you many differ thing's. They teach you how to do many different punches, strikes and kicks. The masters and instructors have been doing this for a very long time and they are very good at it. They teach you how to spar and how to do many different forms. you can get many different color belts and with every different belt you learn more and more. sometimes they will take you to tournaments, and they are very difficult but that can be a good thing because competing can boost you confidence, and sometimes you don't win but that just makes you want to work ten times harder. They teach you self-defense from getting out of: chokeholds, wrist-grabs, shoulder-grabs, and headlocks. Some of the most important things they teach is discipline and respect. There is a creed at All American Martial Arts that all the students live by: As a student of All American Martial Arts I will follow the principles of Tae Kwon Do COURTESY I will be polite and considerate of others INTEGRITY I will act with honesty and respect PERSEVERENCE I will face the challenges and obstacles of life with confidence, determination, and fearlessness SELF-CONTROL I will discipline my mind, body, and spirit in those things that will lead to a purposeful life. INDOMITABLE SPIRIT I will not let circumstances determined my actions or success. I will show respect to my instructors, and my school. Give my full attention, and Energy too every effort I make and I will seek to assist others. I am a student of All American Martial Arts, and this is my creed. All the teachers there say that even after you leave the school the creed goes with you. It's a really good atmosphere because it's not just students and teachers they treat you like family. I have been in the All American Martial Arts family for five years and I have not one negative thing to say about them.

I personally was a student of Master Kim, he is an upstanding man, who knows how to teach you as a individual and help you grow psychologicaly and physically. My family has been in the OKC P.D. and we have known him for years. As a teenager I got in alot of trouble, Master Kim taught me how to channell my anger into rational behavior. He alone changed my life. Now I am a parent of two boys, one of which is in some trouble right now. I did not even hesitate to think of Master Kim to help him. You will not be disappointed with his instruction, disipline or anything he does with you or for your troubled children or teens.
