This was for my neighbor's daughter, who is in love with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I used the bottom of the giant cupcake mold and made two Chocolate-Chocolate cakes. I scooped out the middles and then put Whipped Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cup filling inside. Cakes are covered in chocolate ganache and then covered in fondant. Letters and torn wrapper made out of fondant. White peanut butter cup "tray" is made out of gumpaste. TFL!

Good News: Pussy Riot's New Book, A Punk Prayer for Freedom, Might Have a Prophetic Title
Just as Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has called for the three members of the punk band Pussy Riot to be freed, CUNY's Feminist Press announces what will surely be a must-read in their forthcoming A Punk Prayer for Freedom. The book (and ebook, which will be available in less than two weeks) features letters, poems, and tributes from all manner of band member and supporter alike (perhaps Yoko Ono? Eileen Myles?), with profits from the sale to support the Pussy Riot legal defense team. Here's the release:
On February 21, 2012, five members of a Russian feminist punk collective Pussy Riot staged a performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Dressed in brightly colored tights and balaclavas, they performed their "Punk Prayer" asking the Virgin Mary to drive out Russian president Vladimir Putin from the church. After just forty seconds, they were chased out by security. Once a retooled video of the events circulated on YouTube (edited to seem much longer than the actual performance), the state was riled into action. Three members of the collective, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, known as Masha, Nadya, and Katya, were arrested and charged with felony hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, an offense carrying a sentence of up to seven years. As their trial unfolded, these young women became global feminist icons, garnering the attention and support of activists and artists around the world, including Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Sting, as well as contributors to this book: Yoko Ono, Johanna Fateman, Karen Finley, Justin Vivian Bond, Eileen Myles, and JD Samson. The Internet exploded with petitions, music videos, and calls to action, and as the guilty verdict was anticipated, Pussy Riot responded with articulate, unwavering courtroom statements, calling for freedom of expression, an end to economic and gender oppression, and a separation of church and state. They were sentenced to two years in prison, and inspired a global movement. Collected here are the words that roused the world.

Favor With God And Man Series
Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 27, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: This sermon shows that the human Jesus grew in the ways that all children do, each step of growth preparing him to fulfill his Father's eternal mission.
And then there was Christian Friedrich Heinecken. He was known throughout Europe as "The Infant of Lebec," after his birthplace in Germany. In addition to an astounding faculty for numbers, little Christian reportedly knew all the principle events in the Bible by the time he was one year old. At three he was conversant with world history, geography, Latin and French. The king of Denmark sent for him in 1724 to confirm these stories of the child's extraordinary abilities. Shortly after his stay in Copenhagen, however, little Christian became ill and died at age four.
And then there was the very famous Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, maybe the most prodigious of all child prodigies. Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. At four he began music lessons with his violinist father. At five he composed minuets. At six he was a virtuoso on the violin and harpsichord, and toured with his older sister, creating a sensation in European courts with this phenomenal ability to sight-read music and improvise. He wrote his first symphony at eight. At eleven he was forced to compose in solitary confinement for the suspicious Archbishop of Salzburg. He passed the test and was offered the salaried job of City Concert Master. At twelve he wrote two operas and a mass. His reputation grew over the years. His operas, concertos and symphonies were of the highest order. Today he is still regarded as one of the world's supreme geniuses.
And then there was in the 19th century the famous John Stewart Mill. He was often called a manufactured genius. He was the product of an educational experiment that reads like a record of medieval torture. His irritable father was a historian and philosopher named James Mill. He forced his son to learn Greek at three, history at four, Latin, geometry and algebra by eight. By twelve he had read Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Terrance, Cicero, Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Thucydides and Demosthenes—all in Greek. His father required him to write English verse and educate his younger siblings. John Stewart Mill eventually became a world-renowned philosopher.
And then there was also living on into the beginning of the 20th century, Truman Henry Safford, son of a Vermont farmer. He showed his precocity at age three when his parents amused themselves with his calculating powers. At seven he studied algebra and geometry. At nine he constructed and published an almanac. At ten he originated a new rule for obtaining moon risings and settings in one quarter of the time of previous methods. At aged ten he was asked to square the number, that is, to multiply it by itself, the number 365,365,365,365,365,365. He gave the correct answer in less than a minute. I'm not going to read you the 40 numbers that make up the answer. Obviously he was smart. He graduated from Harvard at the age of 18.
By the way, are you thinking of removing the bumper sticker from your car?
Further into the 20th century there is William James Sidis, son of a Harvard psychology professor who used to use his child to prove that children could master very complex subjects at a young age. At six months he knew his ABC's. At two years he read adult books. He was in to advanced mathematics at three, and mastered French by four. At eight he graduated from high school. After independent study in Greek, Latin, German, Russian, French, Turkish and Armenian, he entered Harvard at 11 where he lectured the Harvard mathematical society on fourth-dimensional bodies.

The marvelous Karin Tabke tagged me to write 10 reading secrets. I tag Liz Kreger, Amy Knupp, and Amy Padgett.
It's not much of a secret, but I learned how to read when I was four. My older sister taught me and I taught my younger brother.
When I was a child, my mother read fairy tales to me and my four siblings every night. I can remember all five of us sitting around her–on the couch or at her feet–while she read. Maybe this is why I love stories with magic in them.
Allison Brennan said this on her blog, and it's true for me too: I've read all the Nancy Drew books. Unlike Allison, I haven't reread them since I became an adult.
Three romances that give me the warm fuzzies are PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, LITTLE WOMEN, and JANE EYRE.
For years I devoured mysteries. After awhile I could see through the set-up in the first chapter. That's when I switched to reading–and writing–romance.
My reading time is precious. A book that's "okay†isn't enough. It has to be "good,†but "excellent†is better.
I've never thrown a book against the wall. I just stop reading.
My father-in-law reads romances, so I give him books I've read. When he's done he sends them back. One book he returned wrapped in a paper bag. He said it was the dirtiest book he'd ever read. And, yes, he read the entire book. 😈
When I was newly married I lived in an upper duplex that had two doors leading to the stairway. My husband worked second shift while I was going through an Agatha Christie phase. Every night as I reached a tense part in one of her books, I stopped to check the hall doors, making sure they were locked. Considering how relatively tame those books were, you can see why I don't read horror books.
I feel sorry for people who don't enjoy reading. I am rarely bored. I can either make up a story of my own or lose myself in someone else's wonderful creation.
If you're a reader, the world is yours…and so are alternate worlds. Anything is possible.
Ain't it grand?

Just why is WildmanT branded as "Gay Men's Underwear?"Well clearly the underwear itself is not gay and you don't have to be gay to like it or wear it. We brand it "gay" because the product line is a little forward thinking. We created the world's first Ball Lifter. This was a garment unlike any other on the market that was designed to lift your balls higher so your cock would be lifted and pushed forward. Basically…a bra for your nuts to give a guy a bigger package.
WildmanT Fashion Underwear-
Just like any product in the course of time, if it had to do with fashion or vanity, the gays were the first ones to embrace. Manicures, hightlights, fashion were originally not manly enough for straight men. In time, we got the evolution of metrosexuals and the straights slowly caught up to the gays. I am not saying straight men won't want to wear a male enhancing suit soon, but it was just smarter to target the community who pushes the envelope further and first.
WildmanT is now arrived at Mensuas. Shop for Wildmant Underwear and Swimwear at Mensuas.com.

The Finnish Ministry of the Interior has helped create the job of "Roma liaisons" whose task is ostensibly to assist Roma immigrants in the nation to secure housing and jobs. However, the Finnish Minority Ombudsman, Johanna Suurpaa, believes there is evidence the liaisons quite frequently interfere with efforts by Romas to live in certain communities. For example, in the Roma culture, two people whose families are at odds, might be prevented from obtaining housing in an area in which his "enemies" currently live. A Roma who is moving to another location must consult with a liaison.
Undoubtedly, Roma immigrants to Finland are in a strange country and do need assistance. The issue, most probably, is how to provide assistance that empowers people to make their own decisions.

Looks like a bad install. Will the usb drive boot another computer?
Greetings all, first time poster here
I've been searching both the forums and the web up and down for hours now and I just cannot seem to find the answer to my question:
I have installed BT4 to a USB drive in an attempt to boot to it on my EEE pc 901, however when I get to the splash screen and it starts to load up, I get the following text:
and I get a shell that has a very limited set of commands that don't seem to do me much good at all. Like I say I've already done a lot of digging and come up empty handed... any veterans have an idea of what's going on here?Code:Loading, please wait... hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 7 sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive case: write through sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive case: write through BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu7) built-in-shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs)
Looks like a bad install. Will the usb drive boot another computer?
hmm yeah it doesn't boot on my desktop... I used the windows version of unetbootin and it said it was created properly but I guess not... I'll update this post when I retry it with either the ubuntu version or the windows version again and see what happens.

Man-Made Organs Could Shorten Transplant Waiting Lists
HART has successfully created transplantable tracheas, and is looking to expand its operations to save even more lives.
Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, or HART, is developing a system that turns patient's stem cells into lab-made, transplantable organs. More specifically, this approach allows scientists to grow artificial tracheas for patients who have severely damaged their own.
These man-made versions were manufactured on synthetic scaffolds, which provides a good environment for stem cell development. The scaffolds are made to fit each patient through a highly technical process, which requires HART scientists to spin extremely fine fibers of plastic into a tube. The result is a customized scaffold "that makes a mesh that's the right size for the cells," says Green. "They feel at home there."
Once the stem cells are "rained down over the top of the scaffold," they are kept in a specialized rotating incubator for about two days, where they get a chance to grow and develop into a functional organ.
Because the organ is created with the patient's own stem cells, the body is more likely to accept the transplant. According to Green, new cell types – including ones that line the inner surface and help move mucous from the lungs by coughing – begin to appear on the organ about five days after the transplant.
Research took place in HART labs around the EU and Russia, but the company is looking to move operations into a manufacturing facility, where synthetic organs can be produced on a larger scale. Trial testings in the US will take place as soon as the FDA grants approval.

"I love stuffed pork chops and thought this an above-average recipe. Maybe your chops weren't thick enough or your oven temp is off. Or if you're using BONELESS chops, cook them only about 30 min. - cook the 1 hr for bone-in chops. Today's pork is extremely lean and easily overcooks to dryness. The only thing I changed was I increased the grated onion to 1 tablespoon. Also, you can do this the traditional way, and cut pockets in the chops and stuff them - but for that you'll need thicker chops."
Reviewed Aug. 12, 2008
"I wanted to like this (especially since I grew up in Milwaukee), but we found it to be quite dry--would have to adjust oven temp and/or time."

gbs said
Can you provide some more details you can still remember from that moment? A solo or group song? Male or Female vocal? Musical genre? The more details you provide the easier we can help. The lyrics seems odd. Cannot search for anything like this on Google LOL
Well, it's definitely a group, male vocal, background chorus, rock ballad. The lyrics are accurate

Gixxer saidMost radio stations keep a history playlist for this very reason! Do you remember the time and station? Have a look at their website
Matt: unfortunately not, my iPhone's battery ran out of juice before I had the chance to record the song, it was playing on the radio
It turned out it was an old recording, rather than a live radio broadcast. The guy who has it told me he couldn't remember the name of the song or the artist(s) either.
doru: thanks, it's a really nice song but different from what I'm looking for, nevertheless I appreciate your effort
Matt: unfortunately not, my iPhone's battery ran out of juice before I had the chance to record the song, it was playing on the radio
It's the first time I hear it since more than a decade ago, when I used to enjoy listening to it on a stereo cassette player
Joost said
Gixxer saidYeah, that's where it belongs

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me find out the name of this song, I love it so much and wanna buy it ASAP . Here's the lyrics, well, probably incorrect and definitely incomplete
Once upon a time
There were two of us as one
We were so alive
We had only just begun
I guess that we were much too young
See the reasons why
But today's the day
We have to say goodbye…
Fly away, the future is yours
Alive and waiting for you
Break away to different skies
I know that I can't hold you
Like an albatross fly out of here
There's a dream that you must follow
Though it breaks my heart, I gotta let you fly away
Many thanks!
What's your budget?

New Delhi: The promotion for the film "Yamla Pgla Deewana" moved to Delhi, with cast and all. And, naturally, all the actors had to be in front of the press and answer some questions. Surprisingly, there were no cold wars to start between the actors. In fact, they were a bit too happy to be there all together. Then again, the cast did include Dharmendra and his two sons, Sunny and Bobby.
One of the most asked questions was whether Mukul Dev was a villain, but Sunny denied, saying that he was just a Jat, like the rest. Mukul leaves the impression of a villain due to his long hair and beard.
Gurucharan Singh was also present at the event, but no one seem to be noticing that, as he was asked not even one question throughout the entire session. Kulraj Randhawa was asked only one question: 'Who is the best Deol?' The best seems to be Dharamji.
The actors seem to be working harder than usual to promote this film, but as Sunny said, if they don't promote it, it may not be successful.

Hi, i was thinking it might be nice to have a sub menu based on what the movie was rated? and maybe a g-pg-13 and then AA-R or something similar? i figured it would be good for those of us with little children running around.
Thanks again.
Love the skin.

Hi dan991199
Yeah I also like that idea - you can actually do this by creating smart playlists for your different rated movies based on a particular rating. Then adding these playlists as favourites and then finally setting them up as custom submenu short cuts in skin options.

JustEliana's recommendation
Choose from Batman or Robin or 12 villians (maybe the joker??). Customize your character and the environments.
jacksonpritt's recommendation
Fun LEGO game that's great for all ages. Batman fans love it!
AnnoyedGamer's recommendation
This is perhaps the first really great Batman game to his the consoles sinceâ¦. well forever really, and while that is not saying much given the lack of serious competition (at least till Arkham Asylum and DC Universe Online come out next year) this is a fun game that will keep fans of the Bat happy for a fair while. The other great thing is that with co-op mode, this is a game that grown-ups can play with the kids and have a blast. The game is also out on the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, PC and PSP. Lego Batman is out now, rated âE 10 for Everyoneâ

My son (age 9) and I play this all the time. With all the various villains, the makers were able to create a fun game, and not one you have to memorize a bunch of different buttons to master.

Hi, later this year I must choose my LC subjects and I would like some advice from older students. I am set on a career with the Irish language. Whether it be teaching or journalism. Courses involving these, do not require a third language and I would not like to do french etc as I want to focus on Irish. Is this foolish and will it have a huge effect in the long run? My choices as of now seem to be English Irish maths history geography biology and business
If you are completely sure about what you want to do then no it isn't foolish at all! Most college courses do require a third language so if there is any possibility that you might change your mind then I would take french just to be on the safe side. I'm doing the LC this year and a lot of my friends didn't choose a third language because they know what they want to do and their course doesn't require it so don't worry you're not the only one :) Id say go with your current choice and if it happens that you change your mind you always have the option of doing french outside of school as an extra subject :)
If it was me I'd do the extra third language. I wanted to engineering in 5th year which doesnt require a third language but now I want to do medicine which does so speaking from personal experience I'm glad of my extra language and wouldn't give it up.
Having a third language isn't bad for the others if anything it helps you to understand languages better, and if you're good at languages and like them then you may as well. But it's not foolish if you don't take french, not all the colleges in the country are NUIs and not all courses require a third so go with your gut! :)

Focus Groups are an instrument created by ITU-T that augment the Study Group work programme by providing an alternative working environment for the quick development of specifications in their chosen areas. Focus Groups are now widely used to address industry needs as they emerge, and when they are not covered within an existing Study Group. The key difference between Study Groups and Focus Groups is the freedom that they have to organize and finance themselves. Focus Groups can be created very quickly, are usually short-lived and can choose their own working methods, leadership, financing, and types of deliverables.

New Delhi, May 22 (UNI) NDA Chairman and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today favoured the election of country's next President through consensus and said he would be striving for such an effort in the coming days.
Talking to newspersons after releasing a story collection penned by Uttarkhand Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, Mr Vajpayee, who has been authorised by the NDA parties to make a choice about the next President, recalled how the previous government had brought in 'near consensus' around Dr Kalam. Although there was a contest it appeared a 'non-event' because the country overwhelmingly rallied around him, he noted.
Admitting that there were different opinions, Mr Vajpayee said when the NDA approached Dr Kalam to offer him a second term, there was some opposition to it. ''They told us that the NDA struck to the convention that the President will not get a second term but why offer Dr Kalam an exception,'' he said, adding they saw merit in the argument and conveyed to the President about the convention coming in the way of a second term for him and he accepted it.
''Now there is a 'standing question' -- who will be the next President. My firm view is, let it be through a consensus and I will strive for its talking to parties and people,'' Mr Vajpayee remarked.
When a reporter drew Mr Vajpayee's attention about the country wanting him as a 'consensus choice' for the Presidentship, the former Prime Minister, who has ruled himself out of the race, said that some people wrote that he was ready to take ''political sanyas''. ''Sanyas and me. What will happen to sanyas and me'', he quipped, indicating by what appeared to be a jovial remark, he had every intention of staying put in politics at least for the time being.

Review By: Faisal Saif
The latest hot news which is making rounds on the Internet Media is about Sherlyn Chopra's upcoming film 'Kamasutra 3D' trailer going viral and creating a rage. Yes it does creates a Rage in the eyes of those, Who are looking for 'Porn'. But according to some research in Bollywood, Respected film personalities and Critics either were unavailable for any comments on this Trailer, Or shied away changing topics.
Kamasutra 3D is directed by Rupesh Paul who was in the news sometimes back for spreading fake news about his another upcoming English (British) feature film 'Saint Dracula 3D' getting into Oscar Nominations. The Film maker also claimed his Script of Saint Dracula 3D getting into the Library of Academy Awards. When contacted the Academy Award people, We receive no such confirmations from them as of yet.
Coming back to the Trailer Review of Kamasutra 3D which is yet to be shot. It shows Sherlyn Chopra in Grabbing-Eyeball's avatar. She does expose in the Trailer more then one can expect, But somehow it looked half-baked. Why? Because Sherlyn Chopra does it alone and that too without any Expressions! A Sex Tale is told with couple and sadly, She does not have her partner in the frame. If you see the Trailer closely, You will find the trailer has been shot using Computer Graphics, Nothing in the frame is real except our own Sherlyn Chopra. The graphics and camera work is of third rate quality. It looks as if some student has shot the whole thing who is unaware about any Camera-Angles. Kindly notice the last frame where the Peacock's head never moves. Only Sherlyn Chopra looks good (Some expressions needed though) and so is the background score.
We also hear Sherlyn Chopra tweeted this one to be just a Photo-Shoot and not the First Look or a Teaser, But the PR-Team of Rupesh Paul insist calling it a First-Look? Why? To gain more 'Free-Publicity'? I won't be surprise if Mr.Rupesh Paul claims this Trailer to be an Oscar Nominated too one day!!!
On the whole, The Trailer/First Look/Photo-Shoot/Photo-Shoot teaser (Or whatever Miss Chopra and Mr.Paul calls it) has only been uploaded to grab Eye-Balls, Free Publicity or some Funding's (Maybe).
The original Kama Sutra (By the 'Real' Oscar Nominated Mira Nair) was a classic. Don't even dream of comparing.
Cast: Sherlyn Chopra, Some third rate Graphics, Cheap camera-work.
Directed By: Rupesh Paul
Cinematography: Sapan Narula.

LUTZ — As Steinbrenner's two-games-to-one lead on Palmetto began to unravel in Tuesday's Class 4A region quarterfinals, the Warriors couldn't help but think back to this time last year.
It was then, again on their home court and in the same round, when the Warriors' first season ended after a two-games-to-one lead turned into a five-game loss to Lakewood.
But this time the Warriors persevered, overcoming a 7-3 Game 4 deficit to earn their first region tournament win in the school's second year 25-22, 25-16, 21-25, 25-19.
"I think we had a little deja vu from last year, and I told the girls to remember that feeling in Game 4 last year and work through it, and that's what they did," said Steinbrenner coach Staci Elias. "You could see the difference in the eyes of the seniors. They didn't have this scared look in their eyes. In Game 4, they had this look that said, 'Let's do it.' "
Senior libero Cary Anne Bame, who led the Warriors with 16 digs, made one of the match's top plays, sprinting beyond the endline to save a ball that got caught in the roof, leading to a point that gave Steinbrenner a 10-8 Game 4 advantage.
Steinbrenner (18-9) has overcome its share of adversity this season. It broke in a new setter in the preseason — Erin McMurtry, who hadn't set since middle school — and their its top hitter, Kristen Liguori, is no longer on the team.
"We know what our goals were at the beginning of the season, and even though there are some tough times we just pull through," Bame said. "That's what we have to focus on. We have our goals set high for making states this year. Whatever happens, we're going to pull through and do it."
Other players have stepped up, including junior outside hitter Miranda Powell, who led the Warriors with 10 kills and had several key serves.
Steinbrenner spread out its attack with Megan Moyer (seven kills), Natalia Oritz (seven kills) and Madison Seuzeneau (six kills). Freshman Rachel Mathison (six kills), one of Liguori's replacements on the outside, put away the final point.
"I think there was motivation from last year's experience," Bame said. "Our theme has been to finish every game, and the difference between this year's team is that we've finished. We unified, we came together and we won it."
Katie Dickerson added 10 digs and Nicole Doehrmann had nine digs for the Warriors.
Palmetto outside hitter Allie Clements led the Tigers with 12 kills, and setter Demi-Shay Watchorn led the team with 24 digs for the Tigers (15-11).

Management Tip of the Day: Take a break from feedback
BOSTON (Reuters Life!) - It's useful to get feedback from others when you are working on a difficult task, but deciding what you truly think first will help build your confidence, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"When working on a challenging task -- writing a speech, preparing an important presentation, or developing a new idea -- it's helpful to get feedback from others. Do they think it's any good? In what direction do they think you should take it?
But sometimes, too much feedback can drown out the most important opinion: your own.
If you feel like you're getting too much input or are no longer sure what you think of your own work, take a break from the feedback. Decide what you think. This will build your confidence and trust in yourself.
Once you've articulated and refined your own perspective, reach back out to your trusted advisors to get theirs."
-Today's management tip was adapted from "How to Teach Yourself to Trust Yourself" by Peter Bregman.

North Korea readies for harvest as food aid flows in
By Jeremy Laurence
WONJONG BORDER POST, North Korea (Reuters) - Impoverished North Korea appears to have emerged from the depths of a bad winter and late spring in reasonable shape, at least in the far north and south, where a variety of crops are nearly ready for harvest.
The North has pleaded for food aid this year due to bad weather and the impact of international sanctions imposed for its nuclear program, winning donations in recent months from Russia, the European Union and U.N. organisations after sending in their own assessment teams.
But South Korea and the United States have so far refused food aid, granting only emergency aid to help the impoverished state deal with flood damage from a series of bad storms in the middle of the year.
Washington says it is still assessing the North's requests, while Seoul says it doubts Pyongyang's pleas are genuine. Until the imposition of sanctions, the two had been the biggest aid donors to the North, which has suffered chronic food shortages for years.
During a five-day trip which started near the China-Russia border and ended at the South Korean border, foreign journalists saw that fields in the respective Rason and Kumgang zones were lush with crops, sometimes stretching over many acres.
"We had bad winter, and late spring, but the crops look good now," said a North Korean guide who escorted a group of foreign journalists on a rare trip through the areas this week. The harvest is due in October.
From the North Korean border post of Wonjong to the port of Sonbong, about 70 km (43 miles) away, the area had many fields of corn and rice. Maize was growing over a meter high in small plots around many of the small bungalow style houses in village compounds while communal rice fields sometimes stretched for acres.
Soybeans and potatoes are also grown in the area, the North Korean guide said. There was little livestock, but some healthy-looking cows were seen grazing. Three people were seen riding horses. Continued...

… avocados and eggs, so I knew I would like this sandwich. And I definitely did! It was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy — the tomatoes gave it the perfect balance!
After doing some blogging and seeing a few clients this afternoon, I was glad to take off a little early to go over to our neighbors' (Chris and Jenny's) house to have dinner and celebrate Chris's birthday. Chris grilled halibut for blackened fish sandwiches, and I made mango salsa to go on top. Chris also grilled some delicious veggies as a side. What a great, light spring meal!

Dianna Agron: Concert Cutie with Mystery Man
Treating herself to an evening of marvelous music, Dianna Agron showed up at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (June 11).
The "Glee" gal was joined by a mystery guy as she strolled inside to enjoy a performance from Jack White, looking stunning as usual.
In related news, it seems Dianna has a serious love for boxing as her "A Conspiracy on Jekyll Island" director Aram Rappaport told The Sun Times.
Rappaport explained, "While we were shooting, there was a fight on HBO that Ed Westwick, Frank[Grillo], and Minnie [Driver] wanted to watch. They convinced the owners of the house we shot at to let them watch it on the big-screen TV."
"I go to check up on them, and someone is yelling about the fight, 'Come on, hit 'em! Hit 'em!' And it's Dianna! Dianna is freaking out in front of the fight, putting up her fists, aggressively angry at the TV. It was a hilarious moment."

The 200th installment the mockumentary/sitcom will be a full hour that wraps up both the meta-narrative as well as the subplot that began earlier this month.
Head honcho Greg Daniels explained, "[It's] the beginning of the end when we start to see what's going on with this documentary -- you'll see behind the scenes and who's involved."
Furthermore, BJ Novak, Mindy Kaling, and Zach Woods are all expected to return, though Steve Carell will probably not.

Today I learned to trot alongside my human's "bicycle," a large contraption that goes much faster than my slow-poke human so I can run and run. Also it trains me to pay more attention to her instead of to other dogs passing by.
Also I was pretty well-behaved this weekend at a couple sidewalk cafes. As long as I have some water and a chew toy (I like my new Firehouse Dog one best!), I just hang out under the chair and look ridonkulously cute. Sometimes I can tell that the humans around me get almost exasperated at all the attention I get, but I think they're just jealous :-P
We've been listening to Feist and Amy Winehouse at the house lately. Something slinky about those two (sweetly so for the former, vampy and unapologetic for the later).
Hi everydog. So yes, I'm named after a Kinks song, but there are others people like to sing to me when they learn my name (Sarah Vaughn, Barry Manilow, etc).
I've taken after my human's insatiable appetite for new music, and have so far been listening to everything from Janis Joplin to Neil Diamond to the Strokes and the Donnas.
Living on South Beach is a great way to meet lots of dogs and their humans, most of whom are quite nice. I'll keep you updated on my adventures in the sun.
Pooch smooch,

"I'm putting these stickers on some tan colored candy favor bags. I can't wait to give them out. The quality of these stickers look great."
"These gift tag stickers are so cute! The good thing is that they can be used in many occasions because of them being stickers. I'm using ours for Valentine's Day goodie bags for my daughters' friends at school. Will come back again for more of these in other designs."
"We added these stickers to goodie bags and they instantly turned a generic bag into a personalized gift. Simple and 1 of a kind!"
"I like the simplicity of this label. My daughter and I are using them for labels for her Valenine's Day gifts for her soccer team. I like the design because its simple and not super girly - my daughter is not very girly. I also used blue ink for her name to also turn down the girly factor. overall this was easy to customize, it arrived on time and I love the design. Tiny Prints is always great."
"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."

I went to see the doctor today! When I got there I was so excited to see all the other doggies there. I made some new friends! Mom says it's a good thing her heels weren't too high today or I would have pulled her over I was so excited.
But then, mom made me go in this little cage and she left! Why did she leave me there? I couldn't even see my new friend!
After a while, the doctor took me out of my cage and the next thing I remember, I was waking up and I feeling too good. Like something was missing. I was kind of groggy. Where did mom go, anyway?!? And I sure missed my brother, Jake. We haven't been apart for more than an hour since he came to live with us!
Finally, mommy and daddy came to get me. Even though I was sleepy I was still so excited to see them that I was running and jumping for joy!
Now mommy says we can go more places because I (hopefully, says mom) won't "mark" anymore. What d'you suppose that means?
Well, now I'm back at home and sleeping on the floor with my brother. Mom keeps telling me to stop licking, but I'm so itchy! She keeps warning me about a cone, but we'll just see about that...
Well, we finally went on the camping trip my mommy and daddy promised to take us on. We had so much fun! We were the only doggies there but that was OK. We got all the attention!
I discovered that I don't like swimming at all. My brother really really likes it, though. We couldn't keep him out of the water!
We must really be growing up becase we asked to go to bed and we were so well behaved (except for that time we took off down the beach and dad had to run after us and catch us!)
Thanks, everyone, for the bones. I'm off to take the socks of daddy's feet!
If you read my brother's entry, you know that we are going camping soon. I went camping with mommy and daddy once before, prior to my parents bringing my brother home to live with us. I'm so glad he's here; I've got to take good care of him so we can all be a big happy family for a long time.
Speaking of family, I am sad to say that my other brother, Shadow, is back at our local pound. Mom doesn't think I know, but I heard her talking about him. I am sad that the family who adopted him could not keep him; hopefully, another family will love him just as much as I do and bring him home.
Well, back to camping. When we went last time, my friend Timber came with us. Maybe she can come again? There might be lots of dogs this time! I love playing with my friends!
We got a new friend just the other day. Mom left to go to that place she goes to almost every day (why does she have to leave us?) but she came back right away, which was strange. She found us a friend for the day! It seems that Beauford, our new friend, had run away from home. Mom found him and didn't want to leave him running around, so she brought him to meet us. I think she found his daddy, though, becuase when she came home that afternoon she took him and he never came back! He was just like us except for brown and white. I like him!
Sometimes mom comes home smelling like other dogs. Jake and I sniff and sniff and sniff her shirt. I want to meet her doggie friends, too! Today she said she met a chocholate lab puppy who was only seven weeks old. She said he was cute, but of course, mommy loves me best. I'm not jealous at all! I just wish she'd bring more friends for us to play with...
Anywoof, I hope my brother and I have fun camping. Mom said we are camping right on the beach this time. I don't like swimming at all, but maybe I could play in the water a little. My friend Timber really likes to swim, but my legs are pretty short.
Well, I see my brother went for a nap and you know we have to do everything together, so I'll woof at you soon.
Don't forget to leave me a treat, please! How could you resist these puppy dog eyes?

JEREMY HOBSON: There's word this morning that the American-led military campaign has cut Libya's air defenses in half. The military action follows economic sanctions and a freeze of assets associated with Muammar Gaddafi. But a report in this morning's Financial Times says Gaddafi is sitting on so much gold that he and his army will be well-funded for some time, sanctions or not.
Jack Farchy wrote the story for the Financial Times and he's with us now from London. Good morning.
JACK FARCHY: Good morning.
HOBSON: So how much gold are we talking about here? And where did Gaddafi get it?
FARCHY: Well the Libyan Central Bank holds about 144 tons of gold according to the IMF. We suspect that actually it may hold a little bit more than that. And that's gold that they've had for quite a while. They bought it probably in the 80s, the 90s, the early part of this decade.
HOBSON: And the reason that this is such a big issue obviously is because Gaddafi can use this gold to pay the people who are fighting for him.
FARCHY: Exactly, and the gold price, as I'm sure you know, has shot up in the last decade. So 144-, 150 tons of gold is worth something like $6.5, $7 billion at the moment at current prices. The central bank is running quite short of hard currency because of the sanctions that have been put in place by the U.S. and European countries. So if he can sell the gold, he's got a source of an awful lot of hard currency that could keep him going for a lot longer.
HOBSON: And you write in your story today that gold is a particularly attractive currency for criminals and dictators.
FARCHY: Well, indeed. It's a currency which is very hard to trace, and of course unlike a dollar, or a euro, it doesn't rely on any government for its value so it was very easy. If Gaddafi can get the gold out of the country, it can be melted down and then it's impossible to know where it's come from.
HOBSON: Jack Farchy, reporter for the Financial Times. Thanks so much.
FARCHY: Thank you.

Pre-Budget 2014 and beyond
There will be no major surprises in Budget 2014. "The Budget will be based on the electoral programme and will cater for the projects announced throughout this year," stated the Prime Minister (Times of Malta, August 2).
For Joseph Muscat what matters, at least at this stage, is political stability. He goes out of his way to convince us that it is business-as-usual. But make no mistake things are changing.
Pre-Budget 2014 is indeed built around the Government's electoral programme. As is to be expected, the reduction in electricity tariffs occupies central stage. This measure will leave more money in the pockets of our families and will help boost their consumption. This, complemented by the further reduction of the income tax ceiling for middle income families from 32 per cent to 29 per cent, is expected to be the main economic growth driver (conservatively estimated at 1.6 per cent) in 2014. This growth rate is only marginally higher than this year's. A number of other measures will also help boost economic growth. Sectors that will be given a boost include maritime, the creative industries, tourism and construction.
A special effort will be made to generate new jobs in Gozo as well as for school-leavers, through the Youth Guarantee Programme.
These initiatives are meant to yield quick results. Others, such as the programme to eradicate illiteracy and precarious work, as well as the national water management plan, will have a longer term impact.
Pre-Budget 2014 also confirms the Government's determination to bring the excessive deficit procedure instigated by the EU against our country to a speedy end. It seeks to appease the European Commission by addressing all the recommended corrective measures. The availability of more and free childcare facilities and increased after-school care (through Club 3-16) are meant to encourage greater labour participation, especially among women.
A Pensions Strategy Group has been set up, to assess the feasibility of introducing incentives related to voluntary pension schemes (the third pillar) as a first step towards further reforms in our pensions system.
Equally important are the significant changes that are being implemented behind the scenes which impact the way the government Budget is prepared and implemented. Hopefully, these reforms will bring Malta closer to the practices of more modern public administrations and do away with obsolete practices.
The emphasis is to shift on what is achieved rather how much is spent. It is superfluous to keep talking about how much Malta spends on education, what matters is what is achieved whether in terms of outputs (a lower number of early school-leavers) and outcomes (less youth unemployment).
There needs to be increased fiscal discipline and accountability throughout the budgetary process. Since May, the Finance Ministry has been carrying out a review of departmental spending plan to ensure taxpayers' money is being spent cost-effectively. The setting up of an independent fiscal institution to monitor compliance with fiscal rules is most welcomed.
Perhaps, the biggest challenge is for the public sector to become citizen-focused and to improve its strategic management capabilities.
Since the early 1990s, there have been various attempts to cultivate a strategic planning culture that identifies the needs of the unit's customers.
Practically no organisation has the money and other resources necessary to meet all the needs of its customers/citizens and strategic management is necessary in determining priorities.
In the circumstances, the FInance Ministry is being obliged to adopt a top-down approach which gives guidance from the outset as to what level of resources can be made available.
As Finance Minister Edward Scicluna explained: "Before it was a bottom-up approach with each ministry making yearly requests that made sense to them… But there was no ceiling and then the haggling started to see what we could afford" (The Sunday Times of Malta, August, 11).
Today, the public sector has the possibility of going back to Parliament, half-way through the financial year to seek supplementary estimates and make good for expenditure over-runs. This practice is likely to be stopped and replaced by a contingency reserve.
It is also time to start moving in earnest towards a fully-fledged accruals accounting system.
With regard to the Budget as an economic tool, the pre-Budget 2014 document acknowledges for the first time that competitiveness requires more than just macro-economic stability. It notes that Malta's competitiveness is due to "industry specific factors rather than general macro-economic conditions". This deserves an in-depth study as it is becoming obvious that our economic development model is resulting in a dichotomy between enterprise and national strategies relating to innovation and value creation.
Higher investments in education and training, though important, will not solve this problem. While it is legitimate for our policymakers to promote a diversified and balanced economy (in the search for risk minimisation), this comes at a cost. Diversification per se does not necessarily lead to higher or a sustained increase in value-added.
Vision 2015 was a grandiose exercise that proved to be a non-starter. The new Government needs to embark on a national exercise that reassesses the real state of our economy and determine the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead: tomorrow and the day after.
Pre-Budget 2014 is but a first step in this direction.

This is her last leg and title. This was the AKC herding test in Broken Arrow OK. We got the trial in just before the bad weather hit.
Congrats! That was awesome! I love watching GSDs herd. Mikko's had a few lessons, but I'm not sure if it would be okay for his neck...
She so good at it. I wanted to enroll Dex in classes but not not sure if it would make his hip dysplasia worse.
They do some running and turning but no jumping. It really is pretty low impact. Might be good exercise for him.

Okay, what is with all the pet costumes?
Halloween is coming, and we've got plenty of spooky (and vegan-friendly) events to look forward to.
The Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition is holding a Dog Show and Parade this Sunday, October 14, from noon-5pm. Their "Super Pup" themed parade will have cash prizes for the best superhero costumes, followed by a dog show, all to benefit BARC's shelter animals.
Next Sunday, October 21, the Mayor's Alliance/Maddie's Spooktacular Pet Adoption Festival takes place in Union Square from noon-5pm. Over 200 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and rabbits will be available for adoption. Oh, and there will be adorable costumes here, too.
If you still haven't gotten your fill of adorable pet costumes, check out the Canine Comedy Halloween Pet Costume Party on Monday, October 29, from 7-9pm. They've got celebrity judges including Richard Belzer and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and ticket fees benefit the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals.
Finally, Farm Sanctuary's Halloween Bash takes place Tuesday, October 30, from 8-11pm. They'll have complimentary vegan food, a brief open bar, a costume contest for humans, and Joan Jett. Can't really go wrong there.
Are we missing anything fun? Let us know in the comments.

How does being Vegan have anything to do with all these animal events? I have no interest in pets, don't think it's even ethical to keep animals of any kind as pets, and one might say I don't even "like" animals, but I've been Vegan for years. Just because I don't "like" animals doesn't mean I think it's OK to eat them…I also don't like my mother in law.
I just get tired of the automatically presumed equation of "Vegan/Vegetarian" with "animal lover" and sometimes think it detracts from the more fundamental/important issues…like ethics, and sustainable living (including food production).

Um, because they all benefit animal advocacy organizations. The Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals, and Farm Sanctuary.

Jason Dason #
There was some excitement a few weeks ago about making your own vegan candy corn. It's probably bad for pets, but is hardly an example of sustainable food production, so Romac will be disappointed again.
I agree that these aren't inherently vegan events, but they are all helping improve humans' relationships with our fellow species, which is a very vegan thing to do.

I don't see how a dog show is a "vegan event," either. Those of us who work in animal advocacy are working towards ending animal exploitation, not perpetuating it by dressing dogs up in costumes (anthropomorphisizing) and parading them around in the name of advocacy; our culture already views pets as toys. Give me a break.

Laura Leslieon #
Yes, it's much better for those shelter animals to die neglected than for them to get publicity via a goofy costume contest that both pets and people will enjoy.

no wonder people think vegans are fun-hating self-righteous jerks. even homeless dogs in costumes make us angry!
Comment by
romacon #
well for me it's kind of a straw that broke this camel's back thing…my google "vegan" category points me to an article about vegan halloween stuff, and it turns out to be something about dog shows, and pet lovers clubs, and nothing at all to do with being vegan.
vegetarian/vegan = someone who so emotional about cute and cuddly animals that they don't eat them or their products…this is a stereotype that seems to never go away and alienates a whole population of intellectuals who might be more compelled to abstain from animal exploitation for higher ethical or environmental or health reasons rather than tag themselves as a bleeding heart pet lover…like pretty much everyone i know.

Laura Leslieon #
Remind me again how a Farm Sanctuary event with vegan Halloween treats has "nothing at all to do with being vegan"?
Not to mention that beyond the cute cuddly animals, all of these events benefit organizations that do actual work to reduce animal suffering. If that's not of interest to vegans, I don't know what is.

Thanks for listing all of these events. It's just what I was wondering about. And yes, I'm vegan and I may go to a show with dogs in costumes. Sue me.

Thank you so much!! ^^
You did a great job, it looks awesome, I love the place you chose for the pictures they look great too
So stunning, really great work on this!!
GOLD! (Posted 31st October 2012)
I sprayed them with this dirty gold stuff which was naff so I've now used a shiny gold :)
Spray painting (Posted 31st October 2012)
I gave them a coat of matte black before I sprayed them gold.
Lasercut acrylic (Posted 31st October 2012)
I drew the design and scanned it into a computer and made it into a black and white image on photoshop then sent it to a lasercutter guy and he sent me back the pieces (top right). Unfortunately he cut the shoulders a tad too big and the belt a tad too small. OH WELL.
Painted fabric (Posted 19th October 2012)
(This isn't my house, I was staying at a fancy pancy cottage for a weekend :P check out that beam!?)
More experimenting (Posted 20th July 2012)
OKAY. I decided that the foiling was tooooo shiny. So I've gone for gold fabric paint. I just sponged it on. I think this looks more like the original. (It's more gold than this in real life, this kinda looks brown, but it's not I SWEAR!)
More experimenting (Posted 20th July 2012)
(left) I used my finger to rub on the glue instead of a brush. Problem with this was some of the glue didn't pick up the foil so I was left with dark patches where the glue had dried but didn't hold any foil...
Testing different techniques of foiling (Posted 20th July 2012)
(top) I stippled on the glue with a small brush and then used my hairdryer on full heat half power to dry the glue until it was tacky. I then stuck the foil to the glue (facing upwards), rubbed it a bit then peeled it off.
The gold foil! (Posted 20th July 2012)
I bought some gold textile foil and Plexi Glue to do the gold pattern on the dress. I'm going to hand foil it.
final colour I think maybeeee (?) (Posted 18th July 2012)
I had it in that lightening solution for AGES. But this was the lightest it wanted to go :/ weirdly, it kinda went back to blue instead of turquoise. Oh well. It's more green than it was :p
MORE colour adjustments. (Posted 18th July 2012)
OKAY SO. I dyed the fabric turquoise AGAIN. Then lightened it again. (the colour of the turquoise in the photo isn't right, it was SO turquoise and dark and horrible, it wasn't right AT ALL.)
Btw: the purple is just what happens when I lighten it, it's so cool! When you take it out of the solution you can see it turning blue. Wooooooooo!
The dyed fabric (Posted 15th July 2012)
I thiiiiink this is a good enough colour, but I'm might do some more turquoise, I think it needs it..
I forgot to say: because of the metallic thread in the fabric I had to dye it in cold water. Hot water would've ruined the fabric.
By the wayyyyyyy, I am going to try to smooth out those wrinkles and give it some sort of pleating or fold lines like the original has.
Lightening the fabric (Posted 15th July 2012)
OK. it was farrrrrrr too dark a blue so I popped it in some pre-dye fabric lightening solution to make it a lighter blue. I think it's come out quite well! I'll know for sure when it's dried and I can get ON with this outfit finally :D
Dyeing the fabric (Posted 9th July 2012)
first I dyed it Bahama Blue and then gave it a quick dip in the Ocean Blue dye to take that slightly greeny colour out.
when I did test pieces it came out the perfect colour but at the moment it looks too purpley D: I hope that when it dries it will be okay. WE'LL SEE.
Silk chiffon with metallic thread (Posted 16th June 2012)
The same fabric used for the real dress, except in a neutral colour instead of blue (I will dye it myself).
(this is quite a close up photo of the fabric by the way)

I'm in Carrollton just north of Beltline on Marsh. I have a 1991 Seville that hibernates in the garage with under 61k original miles. Someone should be proactive and come up with an inexpensive establishment to park our clean cars on a Saturday or Sunday for lunch. Maybe it could be somewhere in between Fort Worth and Dallas so everyone would have to drive a little bit? -JB
