AACOG lending help to Kroger employees By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer Former employees of the New Braunfels Kroger Store can obtain aid in finding new jobs at the Alamo Area Council of Governments. The New Braunfels Kroger closed its doors to customers on Saturday. Employees still working at the store are those involved in cleaning up the store, according to Marc Mati-er, Employment and Training Instructor/Counselor for AACOG. Matier said several former employees of Kroger have already asked for help from AACOG. He estimates 70 to 90 employees lost their job because of the closure. Current services provided to the employees include an personal orientations to the Job Training Partnership Act. Matier said AACOG has already provided an orientation to the entire group. If funding is made available from the federal government, AACOG will provide further programs, such as vee* tional training, on-the-job training arx! aid with job searches. The New Braunfels Kroger store began selling out its merchandise last month. All of the Kroger stores in the San Antonio area are expected to close by Aug. 15. In June, Kroger said announced it would close the stores because union employees did not agree to the company's request for a cost-cutting labor contract. The Kroger stores have been purchased by Arizona's MegaFoods Stores Inc. The purchase is expected to be finalized this month. The stores will be closed for remodeling into the Megafoods 4'warehouse" format and will reopen in October. The chain is expected to hire 1,500 to 2,000 employees when the stores reopen. Kroger has said about 2,000 employees of its employees would be affected by the shutdown.

MHMR helps handicapped people deal with common liberties and responsibilities By ROSEMARIE EASH Staff Writer_ With the help of the Comal County United Way, the Comal County Mental Health Mental Retardation Center helps handicapped people learn to live among us and deal with the liberties and the responsibilities we all take for granted. "There's a full range of services from residential care where we help provide care in the home to homes where three residents live together," said Tom Care, Area Director for Mental Retardation. "Services include pre-vocational skills, job placement and job coaching. Job training and employment is the main focus. Our goal is to move as many of the vocational people into some form of competitive employment." According to Care the organization contracts with local businesses to do mailings, assembly work and silk screening. Most local churches, outfitters, and softball teams have their T-shirts done by MHMR he said In addition, the Comal County Courthouse, Garland Transmission Company and the New Braunfels Her-ald-Zeitung have hired vocational personnel to work at various jobs in the community. In addition to working in the community, services are provided on a volunteer basis. Volunteers work at the Children's Center, Teen Connection and the Animal Shelter. Charles Stirk, Area Director for Mental Health oversees the part of MHMR that provides case management, medication services, psychiatric follow-up, crises intervention, individual counseling and group therapy and a family support group for county psychiatric out-patients. "We provide all the traditional psychiatric out-patient services," said Stirk. "We serve all age groups and we charge on a sliding scale and never refuse anyone who needs our help. "Our goal is to keep people out of state hospitals and in-patient facilities and help them function in the community," he said. "Whatever need they may have we will try to help them achieve a good quality a life" United Way provides about $20,000 — nearly half of MHMR's budget. The funds are used to pay for and maintain the buildings and grounds. Although a Celebrity Auction is held every other year and the New Braunfels Art Council held a fundraiser for MHMR recently, the facility also relies on donations and will soon be looking for volunteers, too. "We are starting to do presentations to civic organizations for job placements," said Carr. "We are gang to need volunteer* to help with that — to do some job coaching." "lf someone wants to volunteer for administrative support, or driving people, filing, things like that, just tell them to call me," Stirk said. Anyone interested in volunteering or know of jobs that may be available for the vocational personnel, contact the Comal County Mental Health Mental Retardation Center at 625-7359. Hector Tamayo committed to being active in UW campaign By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer % »x 4 When asked three years ago to serve on the United Way Board of Directors, New Braunfels City Manager Hector Tamayo said he gave the board his standard answer — "I'll give it my best shot." Tamayo stated he will be active in the upcoming United Way Campaign. United Way officials are hoping to raise $260,000 during the campaign which will kick off Aug. 25. Tamayo will be working in government contributions. He said a spe-cific day is set aside to ®c'or Tamayo solicit donations from government employees. TU be looking out for contributions from all city employees," said Tamayo. Tamayo said the city was recognized last year by the United Way for its participation in the campaign. Tamayo said he hopes to be a member of the board as long as the members "think he is doing a good job." "b's such a worthwhile cause, I can't help but give I IO percent," he said. "We see results. It is all local. It's local money for local organizations that help local people." Tamayo said he would encourage county and city residents to contribute and be involved in the campaign. He said 99 percent of the funds donated to the Comal County United Way stays in the county. San Marcos lowers property tax rate By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer Increased sales tax revenues in San Marcos have made it possible for San Marcos City Council members to propose lowering the city's tax rate for the upcoming budget year. New Braunfels City Manager Hector Tamayo, said this is something that could have been done in New Braunfels if the city had decided to increase the sales tax rate several years ago. According to Tamayo, the issue of raising sales taxes in order to lower property taxes was brought before cities across the state approximately four years ago. He said New Braunfels opted not to raise the sales tax at that time. San Marcos'proposed property tax rate, as of July 27, is 44 oents per $100 valuation. New Braunfels' property tax rate is 41 cents per $100 valuation. According to Tamayo, the idea of raising the sales tax is that a portion of the sales taxes will be paid by out-of-town visitors. "The idea was the sales tax would come from articles and goods tourists normally buy and out-of-towners would support most of the sales tax," he said Tamayo said about the same time the issue on whether or not to raise the sales tax rate was brought forward, the federal government decided that sales tax would not be tax deductible but property tax could be deducted from federal income taxes He said this could have had some bearing on the council's decision. According to Tamayo, during the same time period as these occurrences, New Braunfels residents voted not to add an economic development sales tax to the city sales tax. New Braunfels receives one cent back from the 7.5 cent sales tax assessed by the state. This brings in approximately $2.9 million to the city. New Braunfels property tax brings in $2.8 million. "The sales tax is in fact higher than the property tax," he said Tamayo also said it is important to realize this is the sixth year the city has not had a tax increase. He attributes this to proper management of money by department heads.Today's Texas Lottery numbers are IO - 19-22-31 -32-44 Jackpot $3 million ;

Dear Majority Leader Reid:
We were pleased to learn last week that you ultimately decided against adjourning the Senate for this entire week. We must address the nation's overspending and debt, and ward off what has been called the "most predictable economic crisis" in our nation's history. By forgoing a recess week, the Senate was given an opportunity to begin this necessary work immediately.
Yet, to date, no budget work has been scheduled. The week began with the scheduling of a vote and debate on a Libya resolution--a resolution withdrawn after objections were raised that the cancelled recess should be used solely for overdue work on the budget and debt ceiling.
Tomorrow marks the 800th day since the Democrat-led Senate passed a budget--a fundamental blueprint that establishes overall spending levels and presents a concrete plan for America's fiscal future. Since this chamber last adopted a budget, the federal government has spent $7.3 trillion, made $439 billion in interest payments, and increased the nation's debt by $3.2 trillion. This is an alarming record that cannot be justified to the American people.
To date, Republicans have offered a number of proposals to reduce and control spending, including a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. We understand Budget Committee Chairman Conrad recognizes the very serious dangers posed by our nation's debt, and we share his eagerness to get to work in addressing it. However, as we understand it, the Chairman's latest budget--announced last week--has, like those prior to it, only been unveiled to his Democratic colleagues with no scheduled action on it.
We ask that you, as Majority Leader, call for the latest Democratic budget to immediately be made public, in all of its detail, and brought through the statutorily-mandated legislative process. This will allow a meaningful debate and amendment process to unfold before the American people. If our colleagues wish to raise taxes or propose spending cuts, the American people have a right to see that plan on paper. Senators have a legitimate expectation that they will be able to review and amend it. In the event this does not occur, and the Senate continues to be disallowed by the majority from working on matters relating to the budget, spending, and the debt ceiling, we will continue to reserve our right to object to Senate consideration of items unrelated to the most pressing issue of the day.
In order to meet our nation's financial obligations, this body must meet its obligation to the American people to do the work we were sent here to do.
Very truly yours,

Pizza ok- too plain for my tastes but great for kids. Hoagie was incredible! Fast, friendly service.
Stopped in for takeout and ordered pizza. Plenty of selection and fast friendly service. Pizza was very tasty and reasonably priced.
Sir Pizza is a small place situated on a corner lot. It serves round pizzas cut into small squares and is unusual in that way. Their pizzas are really good and they just expanded their building size to accommodate more customers inside.
Now my favorite gluten free pizza when eating out. I didn't grow up in the North Hills, so Sir Pizza is newer to me. Loved this little family owned pizzeria. Can't wait to go back.
We sampled plain and pepperoni GF pizzas, and both were delicious. The sauce is very good and goes out to the edge of the thin,...
we have different opinions on this one at our house. I really enjoy it they have thin pizza cut into almost bite size pieces. not a lot of sauce but thats the way I like it.
The place is big and clean with lots of parking available. The staff is super friendly. There's beer and free WiFi. What's not to love? For one thing, the pizza.
I have to wonder if the people who rave about Sir Pizza also love bargain brand frozen pizza. That's more or less the taste of Sir Pizza's main offering. The...
Casual, local pizza place with a large, loyal following. Round pizzas cut in squares. Many folks order to-go, but you should take the time to eat-in... with a pitcher of beer. Tables and booths with a family atmosphere. It gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights, especially after a local high-school football game, but it's always good! We love it!
I haven't had Sir Pizza in years. With so many restaurants and pizza places in Cranberry, I kind of forgot about them. A "local flavor" deal led me back to them, and I am so glad. It is really a good pizza with awesome toppings. From now on, this is my pizza place in Cranberry. Also, the service was fantastic....
The pizza is rather unique in that they slice it into squares. I have never had a bad one from here. The staff is very courteous and friendly, as well as helpful.
Visited for the first time tonight and was very pleased. Sir Pizza isn't that truly awesome pizza that you'll always remember; it's that pretty-good pizza that you'll keep coming back to get because of fast, friendly service and consistent quality. This is good, working-man's pizza, hearty and fresh. Definitely will try it again!

The massive, jutting figure of the Gamut stood defiantly against the horizon before Tibi. It was an ancient building, said to be crafted by the gods out of a mountain of stone. He was on a wide, level dirt road, the most-used road in the Strangelands, and close ahead of him a rickety wooden wagon full of a dirt-smeared family of Volucerians filled the air with their thick hopeful voices.
In the dusty yards around the Gamut a line of fence marked the training grounds of the Knights. One was training, dueling with a spindly Taskling with special ferocity. Tibi deciding not to greet the man, as he was of an unpleasant disposition. Merchants shouted at people around Tibi, advertising their exotic or necessary wares from their tents.
"I have ceramics here!" "Missuz, you'll want these!" "HEY. Look at- no, come back!"
As he approached the Gamut's huge entrance he admired the seamless grey arch that stretched around him. High on the arch an engraving was etched, stating:
The Gamut
Established Centere of Advisement in
matters of Governeance over
the political bodies of the Strangelands.
~Moderation, Individualism, and Reason~
Tibi frowned at the words. They were not there when he had left two weeks ago, and he found it presumptuous of his colleagues at the Gamut to call themselves 'established.' He suddenly became aware of the Keeper sitting against the arch next to him.
"Keeper," he called to the old, dusty man. He wore an ancient garb traditional to the line of Gamut-Keepers, a jingling vest of loose ornamental brass chainmail. It looked faintly ridiculous on him, but Tibi respected the Keeper as a part of Strangeland traditional heritage.
"Sir Tibi. Welcome back." The Keeper grunted, throwing his hands out in a gesture of welcome. He looked Tibi over, saw the dents in his helm, the long scratches along his chest plate, the jeweled pommel sticking from a nobleman's scabbard at his side, the embroidered cloth he carried wrapped in his arms.
"You look well."
"As do you."
"I fare the same as usual, I'm afraid." The Keeper sighed, leaning on his spear and hoisting himself up.
"That engraving up there," Tibi pointed to the words on the wall above them.
"Ah, I was against it. If I had my way you lot couldn't make a scratch on these walls. After you left, Rugart's faction pushed the motion to carve the damn thing. "
"Hmm. I'd like to speak with that man after I'm settled in." Tibi said, with a touch of concern.
The Gamutkeeper looked imploringly at the impersonal metal face of Tibi's helm.
"Things have changed while you were gone, Knight. Do study your surroundings carefully."
"I always do, Keeper." They nodded to each other and Tibi entered the Gamut.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) When Bruce Arena decided the time had come for him to get off the couch and go back to work, there were several reasons he coveted the Los Angeles Galaxy job.
He likes the weather in Southern California, and considers the stadium and training facilities in Carson among the best. And, of course, there's the two stars.
"As a coach, I look at this roster, we have Landon Donovan and David Beckham as a starting point. That's fabulous," Arena said, his face still glistening with sweat following his first Galaxy practice. "I think we have a good group of players to join in and make this a good team."
Donovan, who played under Arena on the U.S. national team, is considered the top American player, and Beckham is still good enough to earn a callup on England's national team this.
"I've been impressed with the things he's done in this league given all the issues and the demands on his time," Arena said of Beckham. "I think he's had a pretty healthy attitude toward the league.
"Who wouldn't look forward to working with a great player? That's one of the great parts of this job."
In his dual role as coach and general manager, Arena takes over for Ruud Gullit, who resigned as coach Aug. 11 for personal reasons, and president and general manager Alexi Lalas, who was fired the same day.
Arena takes over a team that hasn't won a game in more than two months, losing four games and tying four. At 6-8-6, Los Angeles is in danger of missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
"It is a challenge, but it's a great challenge," Arena said. "I have a great opportunity in a great environment and I think we can make things much better than they are right now.
"We intend to win championships. We know it's going to take time and take some patience. And hopefully a team that will qualify for international competitions and do well there also."
Arena will make his coaching debut with the Galaxy on Thursday night against the Chicago Fire without Beckham, and probably without Donovan and Carlos Ruiz as well — the trio are with their national teams.
Donovan and Ruiz have a match in Ruiz's native Guatemala on Wednesday night, and Arena said whether either plays against Chicago in Carson depends on how many minutes they play and how their travel back to Los Angeles goes.
The 57-year-old Arena had a clear message for the players before beginning his first training session.
"I told them that the team is not about Landon Donovan and David Beckham; it's about all of us," he said. "It's we, it's us, it's not I and it's not me," he said. "If we work together as a group, we can achieve things."
Los Angeles' Greg Vanney, a former U.S. national team player, said Los Angeles' new coach made an immediate impression, stressing that the Galaxy needs to play better team defense.
"He has an understanding of our strengths as a team and, more importantly, our weaknesses," said the 33-year-old Vanney, one of the league's most experienced defenders. "We stepped out on the training field today and, unlike any training session we've had all year, we immediately addressed those and we worked on them.
"Our mentality can't be that we can outscore the other team 5-4; we need all 11 of us to think defense. We have to give away nothing so that we can give our special players — who are special — opportunities to get their chances and win the game for us."
Arena, who guided D.C. United to two MLS titles and later coached the New York Red Bulls, said he had been a bit of a "couch potato," watching a lot of soccer on TV, since parting ways with the Red Bulls last November.
"After eight or nine months away from the game, I was looking forward to getting back into it," he said.
And, having spent time with the U.S. team training in Southern California in the past, he didn't mind returning.
"The sun and the weather year-round I don't really like. I prefer the East Coast where it's 100 degrees and humid right now, and in the winter, I love the snow and the blizzards and all. I'm crazy to be here," said the New York native, known for his acerbic wit.
Cobi Jones, a former national team player and first-year assistant with the Galaxy, served as interim coach of their 2-2 tie with Chivas USA last Thursday. He will remain on Arena's staff.
Longtime Arena assistant Dave Sarachan rejoined him as associate head coach.
"My wife reminded me that it is 24 years this week when I first started working with Bruce back at UVA (University of Virginia)," Sarachan said. "To be back together is really great."
Arena was dismissed as coach of the national team after the Americans were eliminated in the first round of the 2006 World Cup. He was hired as coach of the New York Red Bulls that summer, then was forced out after they were eliminated from the first round of the MLS playoffs for the second straight year.
Arena has a 77-51-10 MLS regular-season record and a 14-5-2 postseason mark. He guided the United States into the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup and finished as the most successful head coach in national team history, with a 71-30-29 record.

After graduating from junior high, a group of four friends decide to have a SLEEPOVER to celebrate. Hannah (Mika Boreem), Farrah (Scout Taylor-Compton), and Yancy (Kalli Flyn Childress) gather at Julie's (Alexa Vega from SPY KIDS) parents house, and eagerly discuss plans for their forthcoming first year at high school. Their excitement is soon brought to a halt, however, when a group of rival girls led by the popular Stacie (Sarah Poxton) challenges them to a scavenger hunt. The stakes are high. So high, in fact, that the winners of the hunt will take a much-coveted place in the dining hall for lunch, thereby securing their popularity at high school. Unfortunately, Julie's dad, Jay (Jeff Garlin from CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), is under orders from her mom (Jane Lynch) not to let the kids leave the house, and so Julie asks her older brother Ren (Sam Huntington) to cover for her while she sneaks out. As the girls undertake a variety of bizarre tasks, Ren and Jay offer plenty of comedic relief, with the clueless father frequently coming perilously close to realising where the girls are. Director Joe Nussbaum, infamous for the cult indie flick GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE, proves his comedic chops with his first major studio film. Providing a wholesome teen movie that doesn't descend into tasteless jokes, Nussbaum draws on a strong cast to create a highly entertaining tale that both teenagers and adults will be able to embrace.

Jasper pockets the items and makes his way to Rajhinta. He passes through a few more crowds and takes another pair of wallets and an expensive watch. He continues walking.
He turns down a street corner, away from the crowds of the city. He takes another turn and walks down the alley. Then, he stops at a makeshift hut of cardboard, mattresses and blankets. And at the middle of it lies a woman, in her late fifties, early sixties. She had a thick ukranian accent
"Ach, boy, what did you bring me for the day."
He hands her all the things he stole. "All this."
"Just this, this is nothing. This is nothing! You worthless wart of a boy! Can't you steal better! This will not pay for our food! This will not pay for our clothes!" She throws a watch at him. "Steal better, and bring me more!"
Jasper then turns around and runs off. He decides that he's not going to steal anymore tonight. He'll go where he usually goes, to the hospital roof.
He walks to the hospital, and walks in. Everyone barely notices him as he walks through the building to the roof access. He makes it to the roof and sits down, and begins to watch the people below. If only they knew, he thought. They would help more.

You purchased your 535i because its sporty handling and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? BMW car, truck, or SUV owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their 535i around town. When your BMW 535i left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes European styling in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
Believe it or not, your car or truck's heating system is closely tied to its engine cooling system. The engine of your BMW 535i constantly pumps and turns a mixture of water and ethylene glycol through the engine block in order to absorb the heat it generates, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. Your heater core sits inside a heater box, mounted behind your glove compartment, and you can find it by following the two heater hoses towards the passenger side of the firewall. Basically, your BMW 535i heater core is a small radiator that creates a pocket of heat for your blower motor to funnel air past as it goes through to the interior.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate BMW 535i part for your needs. Don't let a Heater Core repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. If your car or truck was built in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, then you will find the correct BMW 535i Heater Core parts right here.

Summer Thunderstorms
The rocks are hot from the inside out
From long days
of endless summer heat.
Lizards have lain there, and basked in the sun,
but their burning beds would scald my naked feet.
The air is dense and the birds begin to retreat.
As thunder rips open the atmosphere,
its edges are frayed by the wild wind,
Forcing its way through thickets of trees,
through branches and leaves,
that sway and flutter and bend.
The other creatures settle in,
but the rocks and I stand firmly in defiance.
Both unswayed,
and now speckled with rain,
My feet can bear compliance.

People often say, "I don't know what to do; I don't know how to make a choice." We must realize, that there is an Intelligence within us that does know. This "guidance" is just as true. –Ernest Holmes
I accept my guidance right here and right now. In this present moment I listen. I go within, I become quiet and I tap into that still small voice. I feel my heart beating and filling with the energy of life. I listen to love and I use love as my tool which shows me the direction to follow. I allow love to be my guide.

it said regional impact only. Did you notice that.
And solar variations have been relatively stable over the last 30 years, declining a little recently.
Yet temperatures have been climbing. So they still wouldn't be saying CO2 isn't the primary culprit.

Are you aware govt research & development was used for the transcontinental train building. That the Dept of Defense financed R&D for helicopters and airplanes, NASA financed R&D for satellities and the telecommunications industry, and on and on. NASA also paid for windtunnel testing and air traffic control systems used today by the airlines.
Typically what happens is commercial companies then take over the production after the R&D has been paid for the government. The same parallel is what needs to happen with alternative fuels.
The plan of the Democrats was to retool buildings to use alternataive energy which would create new jobs. Republicans were determined to give Democrats no successes.
Are you aware the problem of mercury in ocean fish has been traced to coal plant emissions? More CO2 will lead to more droughts and when the ice cap melts, there will be flooding of the coastal cities? This will be extremely expensive -- far more than controlling CO2 emissions. Food prices will go up and insurance prices will go up, a lot.
No the number of hot days have increased, and the number of cold days have decreased. NASA has a graph that shows there have been something like double the warmer days, and half the normal cooler days. Droughts are the worst on record for most of the world, and expected to increase.
See, warmer temperatures evaporate the moisture in the ground. This has to be replaced with either rain or irrigation. We have a water problem out West too you know.
I agree with you some on mainstream news -- they need to attract audiences. I read science sources. The latter does not talk about polar bears or hurricanes very much for example.
No, because agricultural scientists are testing for drought resistant crops, and they say so far they have found some success, but eventually they still need to have some water.... ie there is still a big problem

The oceans have absorbed about 80% of the increase in CO2, from the articles I have read. Scientists do worry the oceans will saturate and let CO2 off the way you describe. That puts it back in the atmosphere and warms up the Earth.
Well the top scientists are telling us we need not to put the trash up in the atmosphere to begin with. What is your solution???

'brian_g stumble butt dumpster diver' wants to push man-made atmospheric CO2 to such levels that total CO2 will be past 1000 ppm. Of course, an increasing percentage of building interiors would have concentrated CO2 levels in the 4000-6000 ppm, a level where detrimental CO2 poisoning would occur in some people.
But the oil-can job of 'brian_g stumble butt dumpster diver' would be secure. Of course,'brian_g stumble butt dumpster diver' wouldn't go visit people the hospital, poisoned by CO2, because he would be securing a good future for his children.

litesong's accusation above is untrue. I support freedom of speech, mob violence is wrong. If advocacy about climate change mitigation results in backlash and scapegoating, at least I warned you. Demagogic mob action is mostly terrible, I support free speech, not mob action.
The media and social climate can be mitigated and controled. There's no experimental evidence global climate can be changed even the smallest measurable degree. Do you see the difference?

Huh? Well good.
Er. Sounds like you're contradicting yourself here. Did I miss something in the middle... I admit I appear to butting in the middle of some old fight here...
Well 97% of the top scientists, virtually 100% of the world renown science organizations (with the petroleum based science organizations on neutral) around the world; and 100% of the mainstream science media **strongly** disagrees with you. And they have lots of proof of that.
Meaning... got any evidence other than quoting some Rush Limbaugh type?

The Earth is in balance, we are the fulcrum. If they didn't measure it, you wouldn't know it.
What do you want to do about it?
No, you worry the oceans will saturate, even Fair Game's experts say the oceans still absorb CO2, although more slowly.
None of this changes the facts, as liquids (like the oceans) warm, more gas comes out of solution and as a liquid cools, it can absorb more gas. That's why you can rinse suds out with cold water faster than with hot water.
If you consider carbon dioxide to be trash, leave our oceans alone, you don't know what's up. CO2 is a gas, we don't put it, we free it into the atmosphere, where it used to live. CO2 isn't trashy, it's the breath of life. The atmosphere is the perfect place, a perfect fit.
If you love plants, don't hate carbon dioxide.

Are you like me and just love cornbread? My mom would bake the cornbread that came
in a little blue box and I loved that, too. But when I got older I started making this recipe
and there was no turning back. I like to eat this with a little butter and drizzle of honey.
It's also great served with chili, soup or just for breakfast and dessert. It's perfect anytime.
Sweet Cornbread Cake
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/3 cups milk
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8 by 8 inch pan.
2) In a small bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla. Stir in eggs,
one at a time.
3) In a separarte, larger bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Stir egg
mixture into dry ingredients. Stir in milk just until combined. Pour into prepared
pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done and golden.

OH YUM!!!! And these photos are GORGEOUS. Love everything you make, Val.ReplyDelete
Hey Val. I grew up with Southern corn bread. Which is never sweet. But I do also like a sweeter and cakier version. Is that a word? Cakier? Anyway, I sometimes mix the Jiffy box of cornbread, with the Jiffy box of yellow cake. Awww...perfection. But now, Jiffy doesn't seem to make the cake mixes. I will give your recipe a whirl. Looks yummy!!!ReplyDelete

Oh my goodness... I LOVE cornbread!ReplyDelete
I love sweet cornbread so I'm guessing I'd love this!ReplyDelete
I do love cornbread. It's the perfect warm and cozy addition to meals.ReplyDelete
Oh that looks absolutely amazing. Such a great fall dish.ReplyDelete
Yummy! Love me some corn bread!ReplyDelete
Yep, love cornbread. Love it! Yummy, Val :)ReplyDelete
that looks delicious!ReplyDelete
why is it this southern gal has never had sweet cornbread cake? Why? tell me? Its crazy and I love it!ReplyDelete
How did we miss this? WE LOVE corn bread and this is looks so good, we can eat the whole darn thing right now. :)ReplyDelete
Wonderful recipe! Made this deliciousness to accompany a hearty homemade crawfish etouffé a few days ago. I used whole wheat flour, added a can of cream style corn, bout a quarter cup of sour cream & an additional quarter cup of corn meal. The entire family & a few salivating neighbors demolished it! I had to type up and print out recipes immediately following. My husband and kids finished off the last couple pieces for breakfast the following morning lol. Defintely a Keeper & will now be a GO TO cornbread recipe for this Southern Texas gal. I'm actually making my second batch (in a week) to go with a big pot of ham n beans right MEOW! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Just made this tonight! YUMMY!! I did reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, grease the pan with bacon grease, and add bacon grease to the batter, but VERY delicious. It was a hit with my New Year's Day spread - pork roast, fresh black-eyed peas, and fresh collards. Thanks for sharing the recipe.ReplyDelete

Tickets: £16-£20 (£11 concs). Pay on the day
Last season: 0-0
Facts: Watford's last home win over Gillingham was in the old Third Division in November 1978
Recommended pub: Moon Under the Water (High Street) Vicarage Road, so it seems, is not a happy place at the moment, which is a shame. Watford may go out on a higher note at home to Gillingham on Sunday, but the truth is that it has been a disappointing season for Sir Elton John and his board. Manager Gianluca Vialli, to his credit, did say it would take time to turn the club around, but there are some at the club who are not prepared to wait.
Verdict: WATFORD WIN

The Factor That Could Influence Future Breast Cancer Treatment
Transcription factors are molecules that switch genes on or off. In this case, the transcription factor known as 'ELF5' inhibits sensitivity to estrogen very early in the life of a breast cancer cell. In 2008, Professor Chris Ormandy from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, showed that ELF5 was responsible for the development of breast progenitor cells into the estrogen-receptor-negative cells that produce milk in the breast during pregnancy.
In the current study, a team led by Ormandy in collaboration with Drs Maria Kalyga and David Gallego-Ortega, has shown that the same molecular decision occurs in breast cancer and that ELF5 has the ability to change an existing tumour into an estrogen-insensitive tumour.
"This work tells us that cancers which become refractory to anti-estrogen treatment often do so by elevating their levels of ELF5 and becoming functionally estrogen receptor negative," said Ormandy.
The team has also described the genetic mechanisms by which ELF5 opposes the action of estrogen, and has shown that it is possible to alter the subtype of breast cancer by manipulating ELF5 levels in cancer cells in the laboratory.
"This raises the therapeutic option of manipulating ELF5 levels to treat breast cancer. As ELF5 is intracellular, this could possibly be done with small molecule therapies that penetrate cells and target protein-to-protein interactions, or with small inhibitory RNAs. There is also the possibility of testing ELF5 levels in tumours to predict response to treatment and therefore guide treatment decisions."
"Our key discovery here is that by simply manipulating one transcription factor we can change the subtype of breast cancer."

I am still studying through Psalms with Bob Davis in the Blue Letter Bible App. This pic was taken a few weeks ago but I am now on chapter 50. Learning so much. The card, "Father I adore you", is from our printed out song list at our church in lg print. I always get a copy of it and use it in my journals. I love the words to the songs we sing. When you just read them you can learn so much and use them for a prayer and praise time at home. I have a little trouble with the lights in the sanctuary at church, so it is nice to have the printed out songs to follow along with. My eyes are not what they use to be.
I punched the Paper lace and added it to a few pockets. I love lace in any form!
God is Good, all the time!
Have a blessed day!

253 Tasting Notes
Today, boys & girls, we will be making a Pumpkin Chai Latte. You will need:
Hot, frothed milk. Check.
Light brown sugar. Check.
A touch of boiling water*. Uh-huh.
BIG, big mug. Checkedy check.
Ample amounts of Pumpkin Chai. Check, check, check.
Steep loose tea in 1/4 cup boiled water in the bottom of a glass measuring cup for, oh, 1-2 minutes. While waiting prepare your hot, frothy milk using whichever method you see fit (I used the microwave since I have no patience, but the stove works, and if you have a milk steamer then even better!) and stir in desired amount of brown sugar. Pour milk into steeping tea and wait… I waited about 5 minutes… then strain into mug, top with sprinkle of brown sugar, and ENJOY!
Note: I know, I know, one could just skip the whole water bit and steep the tea right into the hot milk, BUT I guarantee that by slightly steeping it beforehand you get so much more pumpkiny goodness. And one can never have enough of that!
Thanks! I might have to get more of this tea to try this way. By brown sugar, do you mean the brown sugar that is used in baking, or brown sugar as in, table sugar that is raw/unrefined?
Heather: I mostly use the brown sugar for baking. The raw sugar could work, but the baking brown sugar has so much more flavour to it.
Ah, Strawberry White, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
Okay, so I know that people either love or hate this tea, and I gotta tell ya I'm in the love side. This was the first flavoured white tea that I tried and ever since, it has been the tea I measure all others against. It's the tea I serve people when they come over to visit and I always get two steeps out of the leaves, which give you a little more bang for your buck. It's light, crisp, with hints of the strawberry, never heavy or thick, and good hot or cold.
As someone previously suggested, this totally smells like those caramel-apple lollipops. Hmmmmm…
First steep: Okay, so the baby was doing fine until I was just about to take a sip, then apparently decided that life was just tragic and worth whining about (8 month olds are like little bi-polar crack addicts, oi!). So, I got busy with her and forgot about this tea until it had been steeping for a good 15 minutes! Eeeee… so now all I really taste is bitter green tea with a hint of apple pie. Sigh.
Second steep: Since I blew the first steep, maybe the second will be tolerable? Mostly just refreshing green tea, with hints of caramelised apples. Not bad, considering. I won't rate this though, since I completely wrecked the first steep.
The smell is remarkable, like suntan lotion and those candy necklaces. Let's hope the taste matches the smell…
Hot: The first thing I taste is the banana, but not fake, medicinal banana—this is the real thing (as it should be, since when I first opened up the pouch there was a HUUGE slice of dried banana on top!). After the banana there is a rush of other flavours, first coconut, then appleraspberryalmondorangecacao. So. Many. Flavours…
Iced: … Mouth 'sploded.
Now to eat the rehydrated mix. Om nom nom.
FINALLY my order arrived on my doorstep, but which tea to start with?? Buttercream sounds like a winner…
Hot: Me-o-my this is lovely. Not so much buttercream as… butterscotch? The little sister of Whisky White: smoother, more personality and no bitterness. Besides Strawberry White, this is my new fave white tea.
Cold: So, I got busy with the baby (needy, needy, needy) and the tea got cold, but FEAR NOT for it tastes just as refreshing! The "butterscotch" comes through a lot more now, mmmmmm. Me likey.
When I purchased this back in February the sales associate assured me that the taste would grow on me… 7 months later and I'm still waiting.
First steep: Very strong flavours and scents, it almost bowls me over everytime, is it the figs or the oolong? I sip it slowly, but the flavours just do not jive in my mouth… there's no smoothness or creaminess. It's just strong and brash.
Second steep: A little better than the first, mostly due to the fig flavour weakening. Still having a hard time getting "lost" in the cup. Kabusecha, Milk Oolong, Rooibos, all eventually grew on me, but this… this one just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth everytime. Sigh.

Brandeis Sued to Block Sale of Any Art
July 28, 2009
Three members of the board of the Rose Art Museum of Brandeis University are suing the university to block any plans to sell its world-class art collection, valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, The Wall Street Journal reported. Plans by Brandeis to sell the collection set off widespread protests by artists and scholars, at Brandeis and elsewhere. The university says it is re-evaluating its plans, but many supporters of the museum are dubious. A lawyer for Brandeis told the Journal that the lawsuit was "frivolous and without merit" and that the university "has taken aggressive steps to protect its core educational mission."

"Yes. She didn't have to but she did. She wanted to stay in contact with us as much as she could, even if it cost her something as well. She is fine though, most of the town is the same." I stood up shaking my head.
"Serving vampires, this whole town is insane." She gave me a look.
"I wouldn't be so quick to judge there Jun, wait till something happens to you, then come complaining to me." She checked her watch. "We should be going soon though. It is almost 3 and from what I hear you'll be having dinner with the Grimshaw's so you'll need the time to get ready. I wish you good luck Jun and may Meir keep his hands off of you and your delicious body, because heaven knows if I wasn't in control of my body I would eat you right up right now." Matt blushed and smacked Maggie while she giggled. "I'm glad you get along with Abby, she needs more friends. The others alienate her because of us, but I know you're different Jun, in a very refreshing way." They headed into the kitchen and put their mugs in the sink. "Susan! Bruce! We'll be going now! It's time we picked up Abby from school! We'll be over tomorrow around the same time, alright?" Mom came out of the room looking a little disoriented.
"Do you want us to see you off?" Maggie chuckled.
"No, I think you have something else to take care of." Maggie implied and I turned away because I did not need to understand what was said there, ever. There are just some things you never need to know or understand, and that was one of them.

Sail Date: May 12, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Cabin: GTY
We sailed on the Norwegian Sky May 12-16, 2014. When we were going through security, my purse AND carry on were both searched. The carry on had 3 bottles of wine which we had to pay $15 a bottle corkage fee on (the other cruiseline we sailed does not charge this fee UNLESS you take it to the dining room to have with your meal) I paid more in corkage fees than I paid for the wine in the first place!! After we got that issue taken care of, I was looking for my purse and it was still on the conveyor. I went to get it and was very harshly asked where I was going with that bag. I explained to the lady that it was my bag and I was going to board the ship. She immediately started YELLING for security and I asked her why my bag needed to be searched, she never answered me, she continued to YELL security and I asked her if it was ok for me to take it to the table where my other bag was searched. She didn't answer me, kept yelling security and I picked the bag up and took it to the table where my carry on was and she watched every step I made. Had she told me what they were looking for, I could have told her that it was my fold up cane. I was humiliated, to say the least. Everyones eyes were on me. The last cruiseline we sailed on, 3 weeks prior to this one, had no issue with my cane. It went through the scanner with no problem. By this time I was ready to cut our losses and drive back to NC from Miami!!!!! I was totally blown away with the way I was treated. I mentioned this to a couple of Norwegian staff and they just kinda blew it off. They acted like it wasn't the first time they were told about this. By now, I have been up for 36 hours, driven 14 hours, had a migraine and was past disgusted!!! I needed to go to our balcony room, which I had been looking forward to, to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and chill. Not so much.....We had an aft balcony and there was soot EVERYWHERE!!!! Avoid an aft balcony at all costs!! Ruined a pair of brand new shorts because we weren't sure what it was, until we got up and had it floating in our drinks! DISGUSTING to say the least. When we mentioned this to our stewardess, she made out like that was the first time she had seen anything like that and 'attempted' (not very well) to clean the lounge chairs. Not only was there soot everywhere, there were chicken bones and cigarette butts out there. Again, I was ready to cut our losses and go home! When we received our checked luggage, it had been gone through also. No one could explain why. I guess, because of my cane, I was smuggling something in my checked luggage. We only ate at the outdoor buffet and the garden cafe. The food was wonderful!! No compaints at all there. I will have to say that the ship itself was clean and the staff was cordial.
We had made up our minds that we were going to try all of the cruise lines and see which one we liked best and right now the winner is NOT Norwegian! I will never sail Norwegian again, unless they offer extremely deep discounted rate or give us a free cruise, even then, we would really have to think long and hard about sailing Norwegian again!!
Pictures are of the soot of the balcony that we took to send to Norwegian...

Concept Game Idea! - PSVITA
Hello there!
I am not too sure on who I should contact for a concept game idea. I'm sure you could point me in the right direction if there is a better way to get in contact with some developers. Hopefully some devs will be reading this.
Here is my idea that I have been working on!
I would LOVE for a developer to pick this up and turn it into a big game! I believe this concept has great potential. I have shown this idea to a psvita community, and they were all over it! They all said they would buy this game in a heartbeat. There aren't many slave era games, and this would be a great addition.
Please check it out and if you have contact with some developers, please share this with them. At least let them see the idea. Let me know what you guys think!

Dude I like it it. Have you tried KickStarter? Not even sure that would work, but I like the story.
Yep what Gamble says, if you seriously have a great idea and enough to present it properly to others there is no reason people won't want to suppport you in your venture.
I mean Leisure Suit Larry is getting remade because of Kickstarter. That studio had died a long long time ago but one developer wanted to bring it back and already has gotten enough donations to do so.
Re: Concept Game Idea! - PSVITA[ Edited ]
I mean you really should put that on Kickstarter, you already have a nice presentation set up.
I honestly would love to play a game like that and it is literally a genre that has never been touched before in gaming in such a full on aspect such as yours.
I wish you the best of luck. I know if people saw that on Kickstarter they would be just as excited as we are about the idea. You would get what you need in no time to develop the game money wise.
Re: Concept Game Idea! - PSVITA
Thanks guys for the support!
Sounds like I will putting this idea on kickstarter and see where it goes. My main goal is too just get a company to make it happen, then they can just take the idea and go wherver they like with it. As long as it keeps the main goal and idea the same.
Re: Concept Game Idea! - PSVITA
Wow. I am impressed. Interesting ideas there, would be kind of concerned about the PC backlash but it looks like it would be fun. Kind of an assassins creed/ Metal Gear Solid mix going on.
Guessing the salve owner is the ultimate boss at the end? My one fear would be keeping the story moving at the end of each state I guess. Like who are you escaping from and what challanges exist at each state border to have a progression feeling. Or would it be like the warriors where every man, cop, and plantation owner in these states is out to get you? For that you would need a better reason, like maybe the slave owner was a very important leader in the south such as Robert E Lee as it is documented he personally whipped his slaves
On the weapons, if they are having stats, does the character also have stats. What is progression like, all skills available at start or un unlocking mechanism. Also the exclusive weap doesnt exactly tie in as the game is set before the murder or Lincoln unless there is an easter egg in the game about you selling/giving the gun to JWB at the end and lending in the murder of the man that basiaclly gave you freedom.
I love some of your trophy names, very creative. Overall if this is fleshed out a bit I think you could have something here that could be a big sucess.
Re: Concept Game Idea! - PSVITA
All you need is for 1 developer, digital or other, to notice it. Then its all good. I mean all you need is that "seed" to be planted in a developers mind, and it will never leave.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
They filed in our city court. Do I need a lawyer to appear with me or can my husband and I go and plead our case?
If you are both being sued, you both must appear to dispute the debt. Make the creditor prove that you owe the money.
[I am a Virginia-licensed attorney. This communication is intended as general information and not specific legal advice, and this communication does not create an attorney-client relationship.]
I hope this helps. If you think this post was helpful, please check the thumbs up (helpful) tab below. Thank you!Ask a similar question
The first thing you need to do if and when you get sued is file an Answer. The summons will tell you that you must "appear" by way of an Answer in 10, 20 or 30 days, "depending on the method of service."
You need a lawyer, but if you cannot afford one right away, rather then do nothing and have a judgment entered against you, is to "appear" by filing something!
Many people think this means they have to go to Court and this is incorrect. 90% of all lawsuits end in Default Judgments because the defendant (person getting sued) did not file an Answer.
I recommend you go to the free form I have on my website. Print it out and fill it out as instructed. You must answer the numbered paragraphs on the Complaint by writing them into the appropriate lines in the Answer. The Answer will allow you to preserve your rights and will prohibit a default judgment (i.e. you did not show up) from being entered against you.
Mimic the paperwork you got when you got sued. Answer all the paragraphs of the Complaint by writing the numbers in lines 1, 2 or 3.
Almost 100% of attorneys will deny what is owed because they did not do the calculations and do not know what the basis for the number is…
When you file the Answer that is your "not guilty". You have the right to make the person suing you (Plaintiff) prove their case, but you must also answer the complaint truthfully.
Make sure you fill in the name and address of the attorney suing you before you bring this paperwork to the Court. Mail it to the attorney suing you right away!
Check out the guide I have drafted on the Avvo profile. This will provide more detailed instructions. If it is helpful remember to indicate that and get the guide read!
Good Luck!
