While I was looking at the Gospel Topics Essays a while back I noticed a link that says "Seek learning, even by study and also by faith, which led me to a short Gospel Topic called "Gospel Learning." This Topic seems geared to help contextualize the Gospel Topics Essays for people who are unsettled by them. (See here for the difference between Gospel Topics Essays and Gospel Topics.) As usual, this Topic is unsigned, but at least part of it (the airplane analogy) borrows from Elder Marcus B. Nash's 2012 General Conference address.
Overlooked "Gospel Topics" topic: "Gospel Learning"
How to (currently) find the Gospel Topics Essays (and Topics!)
A lot of digital ink gets spilled on recent Gospel Topics essays about race, polygamy, the First Vision, Mormon scripture, etc. The Gospel Topics page itself is occasionally updated without public announcement. News of the more sensational pieces spreads via back-channel whispers followed by blog post and Facebook discussions and perhaps a Peggy Fletcher-Stack article or two. Some people have been frustrated that many church members are likely unaware of the Gospel Topics because they haven't been highlighted in General Conference or in letters to local leadership. Newer church curriculum materials call direct attention to the essays, though. At the same time, they aren't featured obviously on the home page of lds.org, but you can find them currently in the menu options under "Scriptures and Study>Learn More":
Seasons of my imprecise, ambiguous, unfinished faith (a prayer)
The last few months of my mission changed my relationship to God in a very unexpected way. That's when it seemed to me God decided to go home early while I finished my full two years. I noticed God's absence most during personal prayer. What formerly seemed like a welcome opportunity to express gratitude and ask for assistance, or like an intimate confession or reunion, became to me like speaking alone to a bare ceiling.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…
Elder Nielson and the dawn of the prodigal #ldsconf
Elder Brent H. Nielson spoke about something I've been thinking a lot about lately: interacting with people who no longer associate with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Mormonism burrows deep. Its roots spread throughout our soul's soil. Disaffiliation can lead to heartache, anger, confusion, or shock for those who remain in communion with the Church as well as for those who don't. Pulling up roots is disruptive and messy. [Read more…]
A few confessions to people who've left the church
I have friends and family members who have left the church. A few actively removed their names from church records. Most of them simply slipped into "inactivity" and some even still consider themselves Mormons. I have some confessions to make about my various relationships with them. [Read more…]
When the Mormons met Darwin's Origin of the Species
Are science and religion mutually combative foes? The question's not a new one, nor is it necessarily more pressing today than it's been in the past. The turn of the twentieth century marked another period of intense cultural shifts, not least of all regarding widespread views about the relationship between the natural sciences and religion.

Taking on the princess problem
LOADED TOPIC DISCLAIMER: Let me apologize in advance if you or your loved ones are fans of the Disney princesses or the "princess phenomenon" in general. I don't mean to unduly demonize princess culture or depict it as though you must either be for or against princesses. Please bear with me because you might find something useful here after all.
I'm a relatively new dad. My daughter is just over two years old. Her mom and I love her with the heat of a thousand suns and we want the best for her. We want her to become faithful, independent minded, strong-willed, kind, and courageous. We want her to be herself. I used to always call her my "little baby" or "the tiniest baby in the whole wide world" and other diminutive and cute phrases parents attach to their little (there I go again) sweethearts. Over the past few months as she's become more aware of the media and merchandise all around her my anxiety has increased. The Church's For the Strength of Youth pamphlet understates the problem this way:
"Choose wisely when using media because whatever you read, listen to, or look at has an effect on you."[1]
Seed from stone
There's a crazy man out by a river on the edge of the wilderness. He's dressed in old rags. He's eating insects. He's putting people in the water and pulling them out again and telling them that they're reborn naked newborn babies. He's foretelling someone greater. The appearance of the expected Messiah.
What he says surprises the living daylights out of the covenant people. [Read more…]
Sunday sermon: Understanding atonement
A talk delivered in my ward on Jan. 11, 2015.
Sometimes when I think about the atonement I think about an elephant. Most of you have heard the little story about the blind people who encounter, for the first time, an elephant. Each person feels a different part of the elephant's body and offers a unique description of the strange beast. For two thousand years followers of Jesus have struggled to come to describe the most mysterious, puzzling aspect of the "good news" they've proclaimed. As I've spent some time reviewing various ways people have described the atonement through the years, and as I've thought about some of the ways I've personally experienced the atonement in my life, I have to confess that I feel like I'm blindly reaching out.

Religious studies and Mormon studies: Good or bad?
What's it like to study about religion in a university setting?
I've come to believe that the answer to this question largely depends on what university you attend. Some universities are privately owned and overseen by particular religious organizations. Others are overseen by state governments. The immediate context of scholarly pursuits always impacts the work that results, but not always in predictable ways. As with many academic pursuits, there's no simple one-size-fits-all definition of religious studies. This suggests we should be skeptical when we encounter generalities like this: "Religious studies is a secular enterprise which excludes and damages faith and dismisses believers," or "Religious studies is what happens when apologists and theologians try to gain academic respectability."

Book Review: Hicks, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: A Biography
Twenty-five years ago, Michael Hicks published one of the most enjoyable books about Mormon history I've ever read. Mormonism and Music still flies under the radar when people compile lists of their favorite Mormon history books, but his analysis of LDS music as influenced by nineteenth and twentieth century culture holds up as a must-read study of Mormon religiosity to this day. He also contributed the entry on Music to the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. Hicks is adding upon that solid foundation with a new book: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: A Biography. And it's just as fun, lucid, and intriguing as his earlier effort. [Read more…]
Mormons and Muppets, Secular and Sacred
It felt like I won the lottery when I received them in the mail: four tickets to see my long-beloved Muppets join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for their annual Christmas concert in Salt Lake City. That's because I literally did win a lottery to get the tickets. Last night they kicked off a short series of shows with a public dress rehearsal. Here are a few quick thoughts. [Read more…]
Polygamy as Discussed in the Church Today
Plural marriage is in the news again thanks to the Church's new Gospel Topics essays. National news organizations have picked up the story and the Church responded with a note of clarification from the Newsroom. The basic idea is this: some news outlets are reporting this as though the Church was somehow denying that Joseph Smith instituted or practiced polygamy. I can't recall when I first learned that Joseph instituted and practiced polygamy, but it was sometime before my mission. As Kristine just wrote about, some church members, even life-longers, report that they never heard about it, and the new essays come as a surprise to them. It's worth taking a look at the Church's handling of polygamy in its official materials to get a sense of why some members never knew about Joseph's polygamy until this week.
If you don't have time to read the whole post, let me summarize first:
The Church has not removed all information regarding plural marriage and Joseph Smith's involvement from its manuals. At the same time, polygamy has clearly not played a prominent role in official LDS literature, sermons, and lessons. It has been discussed much more in "unofficial" writing including Dialogue and even BYU Studies, which has published a few articles about plural marriage over the past few decades, as have other non-official LDS publications such as Sunstone, the Journal of Mormon History, Utah Historical Quarterly, etc. Many active members of the Church do not have a full grasp of polygamy, the extent to which it was practiced, how it began, the sacrifices involved, and the reasons participants themselves—actual women and men—gave for living "the principle." The new essays are not a new "admission" by the LDS Church as to the existence of polygamy pre-Brigham Young. They are the culmination of a number of historical studies and initiatives by historians who were sometimes seen as enemies of the Church, and now a new effort on the part of the Church to be more transparent when dealing with LDS history.
Now that the conclusion is out of the way, let's look at the details. [Read more…]
A gentle man, acquainted with pain
Mormon Lectionary Project: President Spencer W. Kimball, d. November 5, 1985
One of his several biographies bears the subtitle A Short Man, a Long Stride. In his physical prime he stood at five feet six inches. His voice, soft sandpaper. The result of a throat surgery. Having neither the appearance nor the bearing of your prototypical leader, Spencer W. Kimball served for twelve years as the twelfth Church president (1973-1985). It was an unexpected presidency, considering his advanced age and health problems compared with the relative vigor of predecessor Harold B. Lee. It was a presidency of unexpected developments. President Kimball oversaw some of the most significant changes in the modern Church—doubling the number both of operating temples and missionaries, inaugurating what would later become the General Women's Session of General Conference (October 1978), and extending the priesthood to all worthy male members and temple blessings to black members of African descent (June 1978). The Lord has said "I might show forth my wisdom through the weak things of the earth." [Read more…]
"You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive"
Pretty much immediately after changes in BYU's Religious Education curriculum were leaked yesterday a lot of people busted out their sackcloth and ashes. I confess that in looking over the four core classes I was less than enthused. I think Julie Smith made some great points about the way we study our scriptures, too. But before we sound the requiem bell let's take a second, breathe, and think about a few things. [Read more…]
"Life withers when there are things we cannot share"
I don't have a testimony.1
This doesn't mean I don't seek to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, or that I don't believe Joseph Smith is a prophet or that the Book of Mormon is scripture or that the Church is the vehicle through which we can be sealed in lasting relationships, etc. But nevertheless, I don't have a testimony. It might seem like I'm playing little word games here, but the idea of "having a testimony" doesn't seem adequate to what I actually experience as a devoted student of Mormonism. Having suggests solidity, perhaps a sense of completeness, or a claim that I possess something. Over time, instead, my religious experiences have left me feeling incomplete in some ways (and not just in the "I'm not perfect yet" sense), and feeling possessed by faith more than being a possessor of it.
So I don't have a testimony because I don't feel like a testimony is something I can personally and actually have.
Especially not all to myself. [Read more…]
Book Review: The Bible Tells Me So, by Peter Enns
Peter Enns is an evangelical Christian and a Bible scholar—two identity markers that've raised a few conflicts for him. Which really is too bad, because he seems like a pretty faithful, intelligent, funny guy. At least, he seems like that based on this faithful, intelligent, and funny book he just wrote about the Bible. It's called The Bible Tells Me So: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It.
I think a lot of Mormons could really benefit from Enns's experience. [Read more…]
Book Review: Neylan McBaine, Women at Church
Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact (released today) appears at a tense moment for LDS church members with regard to gender issues. Some members have advocated for ordaining women to the priesthood while others have asserted that manifesting dissatisfaction with the status quo is inappropriate. As for author Neylan McBaine, she loves being a Mormon woman. But she also believes "there is much more we can do to see, hear, and include women at church" (xiii). Situated between these two poles without disrespect to either, her book has two main goals: First, to identify and acknowledge the real pain felt by some LDS women, and second, to offer solutions to provide a more fulfilling church experience for them—solutions that fit within the Church's current administrative framework.

"Blogger's Anonymous," or, thoughts for when you'd rather visit the Bloggernacle than do your Visiting/Home Teaching
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest explores the problem of entertainment-fueled solipsism (getting stuck inside your own head). The massive novel was published about a decade before we began carrying around Internet chat rooms, blogs, message boards, and Facebook in our pockets, but it anticipated some of the anxieties people feel about recent technological developments. In the book, a group of wheelchair-driving Canadian separatist terrorists from Quebec (don't ask) are trying to get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction in order to bring the United States to its knees. It's not a nuclear bomb or a toxic virus or anything like that. The weapon is a movie. A film. A film that is so perfect, so pleasurable, so captivating, so entertaining, that the moment you begin watching you will forgo everything else in your life (food, sex, friends, sleep, everything) just to keep watching.
Pretty much until you literally die. [Read more…]
Spamming Flooding the Earth
The good folks at LDS Living have been burning the midnight oil, scouring the Handbook for the latest in correlated rubricking. They discovered some interesting changes in the section on Internet usage. We know missionaries have already stepped up their Internet game, so it looks like members are being invited to be better member missionaries along the same proven and effective lines. The excised bits are stricken out below and the new bits added in bold:
"Members are encouraged to
be examples of their faith at all times and in all places, including on the Internetuse the Internet to flood the earth with testimonies of the Savior and His restored gospel. If they useThey should view blogs, social networks, and other Internet technologies , they are encouraged to strengthen others and help them become aware of that which is useful, good, and praiseworthyas tools that allow them to amplify their voice in promoting the messages of peace, hope, and joy that accompany faith in Christ."
This calls for deep analysis. [Read more…]
Do Mormons do theology?
Depending on who you ask you'll get a different answer. I offer a qualified "yes," which may be against the grain depending on who you ask and how the discussion goes. BYU professor James E. Faulconer has called Mormonism "atheological," stressing that Mormons emphasize history, practice, and lived experience above rational, propositional content.1 In the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Louis C. Midgley characteristically skewers theology along similar lines, saying that in spite of a few caveats, theology is "not entirely at home in the LDS community."2 Philosopher Adam Miller has paradoxically or puzzlingly depicted theology as excess, likening his own work to the construction of a Rube Goldberg machine (it depends on how you read Miller whether this is a good or bad thing).3 Blake Ostler's three volume series is heavily theological, but he uses a different "T" word in the title: Exploring Mormon Thought.4
Soon, Terryl Givens will publish his ambitious overview of "the foundations of Mormon thought."5 [Read more…]
Review: Joseph M. Spencer, For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope
Did the law of consecration become effectively suspended or temporarily replaced by the law of tithing when the early Latter-day Saints couldn't make it work out? Joseph M. Spencer answers with a definitive "no" in For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope. Spencer's latest book offers an analysis of the law of consecration through a close and detailed reading of selections from Paul's letter to the Romans and Joseph Smith's revelation now canonized as section 42 of the Doctrine and Covenants. [Read more…]
Come see the symposium on "The History of the Mormon Family"
Each summer for the past seventeen years or so Richard Bushman and Terryl Givens have gathered a number of young scholars together to take part in a research seminar on Mormon culture. Bushman and Givens have both benefited greatly from the gatherings—Bushman's Rough Stone Rolling and Givens's forthcoming Wrestling the Angel were informed by seminar research—but I think the primary beneficiaries have been the participants (myself among them). Now that I work at the Maxwell Institute where the annual gatherings are currently held it's been a real treat to get to know some of the participants and to reflect back on the great time I had in 2010.
This year the seminar is being directed by Claudia and Richard Bushman. The theme is "The History of the Mormon Family," which they outlined here. A symposium featuring papers written by this year's participants is being held this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at BYU. (More info is available here.)
If you happen to be in Provo you might stop in and say hello.
Come watch a panel discussion about the relevance of scripture Wednesday in Provo
If you haven't had a chance yet to dig in to the new books from Adam Miller (Letters to a Young Mormon) Joe Spencer (For Zion: A Theology of Hope) or David Bokovoy (Authoring the Old Testament) you have a perfect chance this week to become more familiar with their authors. On Wednesday night, ZION'S BOOKS in Provo is hosting a roundtable discussion featuring Miller, Spencer, and Bokovoy. Each author will deliver a brief lecture on the relevance of scripture followed by an audience Q&A. Janiece Johnson (BYU-Idaho) will moderate the discussion. You can pick up copies of their books and get autographs and enjoy some free light refreshments and give me a hard time for using this blog post for promotional purposes.

Idle gaming in a very long night
Letter to a Man in the Fire* is a brief meditation on the question of God's existence and God's goodness in the face of inexplicable suffering in the world. (Really brief. I read it in about two hours.) Reynolds Price's letter, written in response to a young man dying of cancer, is suffused with an unusual mix of uncertainty and devotion. Price spends a lot of time agonizing over whether it's appropriate to even write a letter recommending the existence and—in some sense—the goodness of a Creator to someone whose present suffering directly calls those views into question. Price's reluctance is appropriate especially because so many people who write answers to theodicy questions forge ahead with affirmations of God's goodness without dwelling long with the sufferer in their very real pain. He wants neither to "diminish for an instant my sense of the grinding wheel you're presently under" by offering weak platitudes, nor "burden you further with darker thoughts than you're otherwise bearing"—a frighteningly acute description of the strange negotiations comforters must make as they go along trying to "mourn with those that mourn" as well as "comfort those that stand in need of comfort" (80; Mosiah 18:9).

How to "know Brother Joseph again" using the First Vision
[Another part of my ongoing "Tips for Teachers" series. See the associated links here.]
My friend's ward has an interesting Elder's Quorum lesson schedule and I'm not sure how wide-spread it is in other wards. It goes like this:
1st Sunday: EQ Presidency Message
2 & 3rd: PH/RS manual
4th: "Teachings for our Times" (usually a conference address)
5th: Bishopric message
Holding out for a (recognizable) hero
The need for heroes seems to be a human thing, but the type of hero desired seems more generational. See the hand-wringing over the new Captain America films, for instance. Maybe this hero phenomenon gives us another way to think about current discussions about "faith-promoting" versus "warts and all" history. Perhaps the sort of heroes people prefer today differs from the sort of heroes older members of the Church felt a need for. I struck on this probably-obvious idea while reading a book about gone-too-soon author David Foster Wallace.
Wallace half-joked that his deep love for the film Braveheart was due to familial connection. But he also explained that he couldn't really connect on a gut-level with his famous forefather:
I wept as he cried "Freedom." Which I'm sure from the outside looks so cheesy. […] He was perfect though: he was never weak, he was never cowardly, he was never . . . There was no, there was nothing in there—I couldn't recognize myself in him at all, you know?1
Is the new Sunday School curriculum a step forward?
Sometimes we think of the Restoration of the gospel as something that is complete, already behind us—Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon, he received priesthood keys, the Church was organized. In reality, the Restoration is an ongoing process; we are living in it right now. It includes "all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal," and the "many great and important things" that "He will yet reveal."
Book Review: Richard J. Mouw's Talking With Mormons
Last week, popular Christian evangelist Ravi Zacharias returned to Salt Lake City to address Mormons and other Christians from the Tabernacle pulpit. Back in 2004, Zacharias's historic Tabernacle address was overshadowed in the news by Richard Mouw's controversial introductory remarks. Mouw, president of the Fuller Theological Seminary, issued an apology to Mormons on behalf of evangelicals who he said had sinned against Mormonism by misrepresenting their beliefs and practices. Over the past decade, the evangelical (Calvinist) Christian has continued to dialog with various Mormons in order to promote better interfaith relationships. During the last two presidential elections he became one of the many go-to sources for news outlets seeking soundbites on evangelical views of Mormonism. He's taken a lot of heat for this within his religious community–early on being told that he didn't know Mormons well enough and so would easily be deceived by them, later being told he had become too close to Mormons to have a clear view of their dangerous heresies.
His new book Talking with Mormons: An Invitation to Evangelicals is an effort to educate the evangelical community about his ongoing work with Mormonism. [Read more…]
Review: Stephen H. Webb's Mormon Christianity
"What if Joseph Smith's vision of God really does have something important to say to all Christians today?"
— Stephen H. Webb
The recent "Mormon moment" exasperated theologian Stephen Webb. It wasn't that Mitt Romney's presidential run lent undue legitimacy to the LDS Church, or that Webb thought the media went too soft on the religious background of the Republican nominee. Although he is not a Mormon himself, Webb was unnerved by shallow discussions about Mormon underwear and other apparent trivialities. According to Webb, such conversations fail to pay due attention to Mormon metaphysics—the way Mormons understand the nature of matter, humans, God, and existence. His new book, Mormon Christianity, explores the development and coherence of this core belief taught by Joseph Smith: "There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes…" (D&C 131:7). Mormons make no ultimate distinction between spirit and matter, the natural and supernatural, which largely sets them apart from the broader Christian tradition. "The Mormon imagination is solidly grounded in material reality," writes Webb, "but it takes the physical world to new and unheard-of heights" (10). Webb believes Christian lungs can benefit from the rarefied air of these heights.

Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies... for Picky People
Recipe by Vegan_Baker900
I make these for my non-vegan younger brother all the time; he ALWAYS asks for me to make them again the next day. He's the pickiest pickster there ever was, so they must be good! I developed the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens: New Cook Book (you know... THE american cookbook).
Top Review by cuteordeath
Good, but not great. I baked them about 12 minutes and they were just a bit crispy around the edges and soft in the middle. They ended up pretty thin. These would be perfect to pack in a lunch or take on a picnic, but I prefer my desserts a bit more moist.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup butter substitute
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar or 1⁄4 cup honey
- 1 egg substitute (ener-g egg, or half a banana, or 1T flaxseed with 2T water)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a mixing bowl beat margarine and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of the flour, the sugars, egg sub., baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Beat till throughly combined. Beat in remaining flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough till easy to handle.
- Shape dough into 1-2inch balls. If desired, roll in additional sugar (i usually do it in colorful or seasonal sprinkles). Place 2 inches apart on an UN-GREASED cookie sheet. Flatten by cross crossing the tops with the tines of a fork.
- Bake in a 375 oven for 7-9 (I go for about 12, but my oven is weird) or till bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire rack after a few minutes of sitting on the trey. Don't leave them there too long or they will get crispy.

like juggling anvils
There are too many books with too many pages with too much information that still needs to make the leap to my memory. I keep identifying invalid warrantless searches as valid warrantless searches. I'm still getting race-notice recording statutes and pure notice recording statutes mixed up. And I don't even know where to begin with the accursed Statute of Frauds.
Trying to get a handle on all the subjects is like juggling anvils: they're heavy and unwieldy, and it hurts like hell if you drop one.
As you might imagine, it's unhappy chaos inside my head, and the stress is manifesting itself in all sorts of unpleasant ways. On top of absentmindedness, irritability, and emotional instability, I've also been experiencing random food cravings.
I'm not given to food cravings, your typical human cravings for fat, salt, and sugar aside, so I tend to pay attention when they arise. This week, I wanted cinnamon. I really wanted cinnamon. After two days of cinnamon on yogurt and cinnamon on bananas, and extra cinnamon on cinnamon-raisin bread, I decided it was time to pull out the heavy artillery: cinnamon rolls.
I used a recipe given to me by Bobbie Sue as my starting point, tweaking the proportions to produce rolls that were very soft, more rich than sweet, and definitely cinnamon-y. Just sliding the baking pan into the oven made me feel a little less twitchy.
An hour later, I felt much better. A cinnamon roll and a cup of coffee turned out to be just the fix I needed.
The jury's still out, though, on whether cinnamon does anything for one's anvil-juggling abilities.
Soft Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze
Adapted from Bobbie Sue's recipe for overnight cinnamon rolls. Glaze inspired by the monkey bread recipe over at Smitten Kitchen.
(Makes one dozen. Recipe not for one, unless you're really prone to stress eating.)
In a large measuring jug, combine one-and-a-half cups of warm milk with a quarter-cup of warm water. Stir in one-and-a-half teaspoons of active dry yeast. Set aside in a warm place to let the yeast develop.
Take five tablespoons of butter, put them in a dish or bowl, and leave out to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together three-and-a-half cups of flour, three tablespoons of white sugar, one teaspoon of salt, and one-and-a-half teaspoons of baking powder.
Check on your yeast mixture. Once it starts to foam a little, it's good to go. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Stick a hand into the bowl and mix until the two are incorporated. The mixture will be quite sticky.
Crack in one egg. Continue kneading. Resist the urge to add more flour.
Turn the dough out on a clean countertop. Knead for ten minutes, or until the dough is smooth. It will still be sticky.
Transfer the dough back to the mixing bowl. Knead in three tablespoons of softened butter, one tablespoon at a time. Don't worry if the dough looks like a greasy mess for the first few minutes - it will absorb the butter as you knead.
Once the butter is fully incorporated, shape the dough into a round. Cover with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place until doubled in volume - an hour and a half to two hours.
Once the dough has doubled in volume, remove the plastic wrap from the bowl and punch down the dough. It will still be quite sticky.
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and place the dough on top. Pull the dough until it is roughly rectangular in shape. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle roughly twelve-by-ten inches in size. Peel away the top sheet of parchment paper, and spread the dough with the remaining two tablespoons of softened butter. Mix together a quarter-cup of brown sugar with two teaspoons of cinnamon (or more, if you really need a cinnamon fix), and sprinkle the mixture over the buttered dough.
Starting at the twelve-inch side, roll the dough up into a log (use the parchment paper to help.) Pinch the edge and sides to seal.
Lightly grease a nine-by-thirteen inch pan. Cut the dough log into twelve pieces, and arrange them in a single layer in the pan. (Don't worry if there's space between them.)
If you'd like to bake the rolls on the same day, cover the pan in plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for approximately two hours, or until doubled in size. If you'd prefer to bake them the next day, cover the pan in foil and put in the fridge for at least twelve hours (but not longer than twenty-four.)
When you're ready to bake the rolls, preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the rolls for thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until golden on top.
To make the cream cheese glaze, take three ounces of cream cheese and beat with two tablespoons of powdered sugar in a small bowl. Blend in one-quarter cup of milk, a little at a time, until it reaches a spreadable consistency. (Add extra milk if needed.)
While the rolls are still warm, spread with cream cheese glaze. Serve with coffee or tea.
Note: If you're not a fan of cream cheese glaze, you can mix up a powdered sugar frosting using a half-cup of powdered sugar, a quarter-teaspoon of vanilla, and enough milk to achieve a spreading consistency.

I was just bemoaning the recording/race notice rat's nest myself this morning. The more I read, the less sense it makes. I'm inclined to try to diagram it somehow, but that also makes no sense. This is an ongoing theme.
Good luck to you!

You can do it, Adele! (cheers)
Also: totally get the need for brainfail, brainstale baking.

Totally hear ya, sometimes you just have to give in and eat a cinnamon roll. ;) I've been trying to get to the new Flour Bakery + Cafe for a sticky bun, but have yet to make it over to cambridge yet.
I wish you lots of luck over the next few weeks!

Photon - Sorry! We should brainstorm and see if we can work up a gluten-free version...
ImNobody - I think it's the commas that make all the difference, but I may just end up using the "guess blindly and pray" approach.
Kelly - Thank you! And yes, "brainfail baking" describes it perfectly :)
Plum - I hear very good things about Flour's sticky buns. Thank you for the well wishes!

I think that if I were you I would have given up by now in a fit of rage/tears/frustration and thrown my books out the window and decided that a career in something less stressful was for me. So I applaud you!
I also especially applaud your cinnamon rolls, which reminds me that I have not made them for quite some time, and might need to sometime soon, to get some frustration out.

Lindsey - Oh, I'm not doing this to go into law. I'm doing this so that I can be done with my parents' plans and not become a lawyer!
At this rate, I'm thinking that I might be better off opening a bakery. :P

Though Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) is by no means a new concept in Jordan, it has in recent years seen an uptick in interest as a means for promoting private sector potential in Jordan's economy. Properly-implemented PPD can lead to better, more appropriate legal regulations, and increase private trust in public institutions.
Building on the success and conclusions of the first SME Regional conference, The Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) organized the 2016 conference with the theme "empower SMEs . . . Release the Potential."
The conference examined how Chambers of Industry (CBAs) could effectively use PPD to maximize the potential of local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in different countries.

CCH Daily Document Update: HR Compliance Library,¶33,870
Employers are expanding their corporate health improvement and wellness programs to improve employee health and create a more positive workplace culture, but many employees aren't taking full advantage of these programs. The latest survey on wellness programs from Fidelity Investments and the National Business Group on Health (NBGH) reveals employers will spend an average of $693 per employee on wellness-based incentives in 2015, up from $594 in 2014 and $430 five years ago.
Based on responses from 121 companies surveyed from December 2014 through January 2015, of the 79% of employers who offer health improvement programs, larger companies, (those with more than 20,000 employees), are spending the most on these programs, where the per-employee average climbed to $878, up from $717 in 2014. The average for companies with between 5,000 and 20,000 workers rose to $661, up from $493 in 2014.
Companies continue to offer incentives to drive participation in wellness programs
As the design of wellness programs evolves, employers are increasingly using incentives, such as cash, gift cards, reduced health care premiums or a contribution to a health care account, to encourage employees to participate. At the same time, the use of disincentives among employers for not participating in these plans is decreasing.
The three most popular incentive-based health improvement programs for 2015 are biometric screenings (72% of employers plan to offer this program), health risk assessments (70%), and physical activity programs (54%). Among the top three, only 6% plan to use disincentives for not taking a health risk assessment, and 5% will use disincentives for not getting a biometric screening (down from 11% and 12%, respectively). No employers plan to use disincentives for not participating in physical activity programs, although 17% of employers continue to attach disincentives for not participating in smoking cessation programs.
Many employees aren't taking full advantage of these programs and earning all of their incentives. Fewer than half (47%) of employees earned their full incentive amount in 2014, while 26% earned a partial amount. Together, this translates into millions of dollars of unclaimed incentives.
"The next challenge for companies is to continue to find ways to increase participation in these programs and encourage employees to earn the full incentive amount available to them, which will contribute to their financial well-being as well as their physical health," said Robert Kennedy, Health & Welfare practice leader with Fidelity's Benefits Consulting business. "The expanding use of wellness-based incentives demonstrates that employers are committed to health improvement programs and understand how they can contribute to a healthy workforce and reinforce corporate culture."
"It's extremely encouraging to see an ever-increasing number of companies embrace corporate wellness programs as a way to promote a healthy workforce," said Brian Marcotte, president and CEO, National Business Group on Health. "As employers continue to look at ways to improve employee health and increase productivity, we expect to see employers continue to expand and evolve their wellness offerings, and find new and innovative ways to encourage employee participation levels and measure the success of their programs."

A PayPal debit card lets you access your available PayPal funds through an ATM withdrawal or make online or retail purchases as you would with a typical bank debit card. PayPal offers debit cards for personal and business accounts, but you can only earn cash back on its business debit card, which is available to PayPal premier or business accounts. You earn cash back by using the debit card as a credit card rather than making purchases using your personal identification number. PIN transactions don't qualify under PayPal's cash back program.
Qualifying PayPal Accounts
As of 2015, the PayPal Business Mastercard debit card is the only card eligible for cash back rewards, and the only way to get that debit card is with a PayPal premier or business account. If you don't have one of these accounts, log into your personal PayPal account and request an upgrade to a premier or business account by clicking on the upgrade link on the left side of your PayPal home page. If you don't have a PayPal account, sign up from the PayPal website. During the process you'll be asked if you want to upgrade to a premier or business account. If you do more selling then buying, a business account may be more appropriate than a premier account. You can have a personal account and a premier or business account, but you cannot have both a premier and separate business account.
Getting Cash Back
Apply for the business debit card via the link on your PayPal account page. You can enroll in the cash back program after you receive and activate your card. Once enrolled, you'll be eligible for cash back within 48 hours. You only receive cash back for signature-based or credit transactions. These are transactions for which you do not input your PIN. Online purchases are eligible as long as your purchase is processed as a credit transaction. Cash withdrawals at an ATM will not earn you cash back. At the end of each calendar month, PayPal will calculate 1 percent of these signature-based purchases and deposit that calculated amount into your PayPal account. As of 2015, you can expect the cash back in your PayPal account within the first five days of the following month. You won't receive any cash back if the calculated eligible amount is less than $1.
Tracking Your Cash Back Rewards
Click on the business debit card link on your PayPal home page to review your cash back earnings. PayPal tracks your earnings for each month, as well as for the entirety of your debit card activity. You can also view the value of eligible credit purchases vs. ineligible debit purchases for the month and year.
Other Card Considerations
If you don't use your debit card for at least one signature or online purchase in 12 months, PayPal will terminate your cash back program enrollment and you'll have to re-enroll. Unlike a debit transaction, your signature-based purchase might not be deducted from your PayPal account immediately. Some merchants, particularly gas stations, may verify your account with a small amount, such as $1, and then process the entire amount a few days later. In some cases, gas stations and other businesses, such as car rental agencies, will put an authorization hold against your debit card that is greater than the amount of the final transaction. Your funds will not be available until that hold is removed. You will earn cash back only on the amount of the final transaction -- not on the hold amount.

Can it get any better than this at 8 am on Christmas morning? I think not........although the animals ( birds, flamingoes) can be pretty noisy if your room is located near them but kept the doors and windows closed at night. And who can blame the birds for being so noisy.

Did anyone see this video?
Wow, I didn't expect that, lmao.
Here's the link, watch at 3:20
Well, Why didn't he just go toilet? I feel bad for Lesnar, getting beaten up by a man who pissed his pants!
Imagine if he had to take a pedigree?
I've never seen the word toilet used as a verb before. Interesting.
I blame it on my english slang.
It looks like spit the water out the wrong side.
Well i called that right away.
Lol HHH pissed his pants thats what happens when a beast like Brock Lesnar is coming at you
Too funny.
That's good stuff.
Comedy gold!
when I saw the wet spot, I knew he pissed himself and started laughing.
So he pissed his pants on the back? #CrookedPenis
Called it! I said he probably had to go to the bathroom and didn't have time and since he isn't as young anymore, he couldn't hold it in.
Maybe he wears tightly whiteys and hes hung like a horse.
Brita's fantasy revealed!

Hello Friends
Eileen Hull's Journal Treasury EBook has been published! Apologies, there have been a few technical hitches but I am happy to say, those have been resolved! Thank you to all of you who commented on my original post, I really appreciate it.
If you love Junk Journals, Planners, Bullet Journals or Notebooks of any kind, you will LOVE this new EBook! There are 85 inspirational projects in this 164 page EBook. There are tips, tricks and ideas for creating beautiful journals - and inspiration galore from some wonderful Designers, many of whom I am sure you will already know.
The price (during August only) is $11.87 which is 30% off the regular price of $16.99.
You may have already pre-ordered the EBook, but if not, you can purchase it here using the link on my left sidebar or simply click on the photo above. Once purchased, you will be sent an email with a link (if you don't get a link please check your Spam box - I know that, because that's where mine went!). It is a large book and it may take a few minutes to download. Once you open the EBook you can scroll through the pages and if you want to find out more about a project, just click on the Designer's name and it will take you to their blog post for that project.
The link on my sidebar is an affiliate link and I get a small commission if you purchase through it, however, it does not affect the price to you in any way.
I thought I would share a new Journal with you, it was made for a beautiful young lady who is about to go to University, her favourite colour is yellow....
I was inspired by my lovely friend Tracy Evans' recent Journal where she used stencilling. You can see Tracy's version HERE. I used a Tim Holtz stencil on this Journal.
The Journal cover was painted using a brayer and a mix of Eileen Hull's ColorBox Blend inks and the lettering was applied with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. Once dry, I gently dabbed Matte Medium over the letters to seal them. When the letters were dry I applied Matte Medium to the whole of the cover to give it some added strength.
Inside, I created lots of pockets, added a diary and a couple of notepads.
To finish off I added a bookmark, a full year calendar and lots of star shaped paper clips. I always add a hinge clip to the side of the journals I make, this one is gold coloured with a key and heart charm set.
Eileen Hull shares projects all month long on her blog, you will find lots of inspiration there too!
Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon!

you can use rdp or vnc free to use and really good to use. let me know how you get on
Sep 23, 2008 at 3:01 UTC
Is this a new feature? I thought the remote control function simply created an RDP file to open and remote desktop in. Is it creating a .vnc file?
In which case, i'd expect it to be saved on the desktop, or your default download folder, depending upon your browser.

A phone message from an ex-client Danny McKillop (Simon Russell) doesnt ring any bells for Jack and sends him searching through old case files and dredging up memories of the bleakest kind. Jack wasnt at the top of his game when he represented Danny ten years earlier king hit by scotch on the rocks and the murder of his wife Isabel (Emma Booth) Jack is amazed he managed to drag himself out of bed in the mornings let alone make it to court. Bottom line Danny did five years for manslaughter and he might have been set up.
So when Danny turns up dead, Jack feels like he has failed his ex-client twice over. Keen to set the ledger straight, Jack starts investigating Dannys death. With his ad-hoc, unorthodox, crumpled style he begins to peel back the layers that connects Dannys death to dodgy cops, drug dealers, a slimy priest and a blackmailing pornographer.
The cold case turns warm when Jack meets Linda Hillier (Marta Dusseldorp), a smart, sexy investigative journalist who has a weakness for burnt-out, dishevelled, rumpled men.
Not surprisingly, representing dead clients isnt that lucrative. Jack supplements his income working for Harry Strang (Roy Billing), an old-school racing identity who has made an art out of pulling the wool over the eyes of unsuspecting bookies. Between Harrys stings, being implicated in a grotesque double murder, and mastering mortice and tenon joints under the disapproving gaze of German craftsman Charlie Taub (Vadim Glowna), Jack has more than enough to distract himself.
Together Jack and Linda uncover tantalising links between Dannys hit-and-run victim and a $600 million property deal. Linda is keen to go to print with their story about shifty deals between high profile politicians and their developer mates when all hell breaks loose. The usually quiet streets of Fitzroy descend into Beirut as Jack and Linda make a desperate run for the countryside. Hidden in a rambling holiday shack is the explosive evidence that could bring down the state government. However theyre not the only ones who know where it is, and retrieving it is going to prove deadly for someone.

That check passes for me, but I'm using git. Are you using CVS? If so, have you cvs-added those two files? If you have not, that would explain it. Otherwise, the check (which runs a script to search all version-controlled files) may need to be adjusted.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Actress Vidya Balan won her first national award on Wednesday in a rare triumph for Bollywood as regional cinema prevailed in key categories at the 59th National Film Awards.
The best actor honour went to Girish Kulkarni for "Deool" -- a Marathi film that shared the top prize for best feature film with "Byari", a movie in the Byari dialect spoken in parts of Karnataka.
Balan's win for "The Dirty Picture", based on the life of actress Silk Smitha, didn't come as a surprise as she had won several Bollywood 'best actress' awards for her role in the 2011 film. "The Dirty Picture" also shared awards for make-up and costume design with the Marathi film "Balgandharva".
The Tamil-language "Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai" was declared the best popular film while Gurvinder Singh won the best director prize for the Punjabi film "Anhe Ghorey Da Daan".
The feature film awards were announced by jury chairperson Rohini Hattangady at a news conference on Wednesday.
Among the honours that came Bollywood's way, "Chillar Party" walked away with three prizes: best original screenplay, best children's film and a shared award for best child artist -- with Partho Gupte also winning for "Stanley ka Dabba".
Shah Rukh Khan's "Ra.One" won the national award for best special effects.
"Game" picked up two of the three awards for audiography while "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" won the third. Bosco and Caesar bagged the choreography award for the 'Senorita' song in "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara".
Onir's "I Am" was adjudged the best Hindi film while Amitabh Bhattacharya won for the lyrics of the song "Agar zindagi" in "I Am".
The award for best film on social issues was shared by Ashvin Kumar for "Inshallah, Football" and Arun Chadha for "Mindscapes". (Writing by Tony Tharakan)

In the process of finite element stress analysis, elastic body is first divided into individual connected parts, that are the finite elements of the structure. Elements which are connected at points are the nodes. The process of dividing the domain into elements is called discretization and the pattern of elements is the mesh. Later on, using a stiffness matrix, and the loads applied to the nodes of a single element and the resultant nodal displacements of the structure. The final step is to combining together all the stiffness matrices of each and individual elements into a single large matrix which is the global stiffness matrix. Now we shall illustrate this process using linear elastic springs.
The below figure shows a shows a system of springs, each of stiffness k but with a distribution of forces. In the particular spring which is identified by the nodes 1 and 2 in that system of springs, and there are the forces F1 and F2 respectively. At equilibrium F1 + F2 = 0 or F2 = −F1 . System at equilibrium condition, which consists of a pair of springs, with different stiffnesses k1 and k2 . As it follows that
From above diagram, We can write the equation for each spring in matrix form:
As we start assembling the equilibrium equations, which describing the actual behavior of the system of two springs, and the displacement compatibility conditions, which will relate element displacements to the system displacements, and it is written as:
And therefore, substituting these displacements in the above equation:
In these above two equations, we use the notations for "f" to represent the amount of force exerted on the element "j" and at node "i".
By expanding the each equation in matrix form:
Now summing member by member:
Let we refer to the free-body diagrams of each of the three nodes:
From the above equations, we can write the final form of the equation
Where the stiffness matrix [K] is:
Conditions and brief record of points has written down for system stiffness matrix is:
Hence, these is the calculations and conditions for system of two springs in Finite Element Theory.

What would make a better gift: clothing, food, or jewelry or other or all three?
Most Helpful Girl
Three total different stages of gift. And it also depends of the status of relationship you're in. Are you dating or not? If yes since when?
Food: more of a treat than a gift. Plus what do you consider food. Offering candies? Or going to a restaurant still not that much of a true gift. Unless it is like her favorite cookies, tea, chocolate (pick one) which cost a kidney and that you can only find in sweden, china or brazil...
Clothing would be more of a gift from one of my family member. Yet still depends on what piece of clothing you're talking about. Thinking she might like it isn't enough. Try asking her girlfriends or sister about a piece she really wants. Or bet on an accessory. Like a scarf something resembling what she already own.
Jewelry is a real gift for me. Does not have to be a 4 carat diamond. It's the thought you put in.00|00|0

How long does a cold or stomach virus live outside the body on a hard surface?
Hi Margaret,
The life of a virus varies greatly between different cold and flu germs. The estimated range is from seconds to 48 hours. Flu viruses tend to live longer than cold viruses. The surface also affects the life span. Germs tend to live longer on nonporous surfaces (plastic/metal) versus porous surfaces (fabric/skin).
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD

Basically the title, what do you think? Not like stripper heels or anything, but heels around 4 inches and above.
Wear what you want.
thanks for BA
Have an opinion?
Yikes! So impractical because of all the walking you have to do. You might be mistaken for faculty.
You will definitely get a lot of attention, but from the player guys for the most part. If that's what you want...
In university I used to pinch girls wearing really high heels.
I'm "friends" with a couple of girls who wear them. I actually asked one if her feet get tired from wearing them and she said "yeah butttt I wanted to look cute". Granted, I think she meant "sexy" haha. I don't really think of heels as being "cute". She has a boyfriend by the way
It looks sexy especially if it's accompanied by a ravishing dress, not forgetting a beautiful smile.
You'll just get tired of it and end going in sweat pants, so for now, go for it!
Yes OK so what? If you want to be uncomfortable I don't care
You're a woman I think its expected that you wear things like that. Not only that, you won't be the only one who does. I think its perfectly fine and not a big deal.
Just make sure you can walk in them! Lots of girls wear heels to my university, and they attract lots of attention from their inability to walk.
I say whatever floats your boat. I'm sure there not going to be the most comfortable, assuming you're walking around campus from class to class. But, if it suits you, than go for it.
converse are best to wear in uni...i prefr them they are so comfortable
I wear heels all the time. Rock them, as long as you can walk in them, we don't want you falling on you face in public, please and thank you
I think there was a time a woman could wear heels and look classy, but I am yet to see any women like that in real life!

"Ben Franklin Bolts Toward Excellence in Education Through Strong Bodies, Minds, and Character" is a motto that Benjamin Franklin students are encouraged to live by everyday. Developing 21st century citizens is as important as being persons of good character. Our rigorous curriculum is aligned to the Common Core Standards while providing real-life problem solving strategies.
There are numerous initiatives apparent this year. The most prominent is that every student in grades two to five is in possession of their own Chromebook at school and will travel home in their backpack instead of a textbook. Teachers are making assignments through Canvas and creating Wikis instead of worksheets. Writing pieces are receiving immediate feedback as their teachers make comments through Google docs. Kindergarten and First graders are also integrating technology in their classes with iPads.
Kindergarten, first and second graders are experiencing Math through the hands-on approach of Math in Focus. Concepts are mastered by stages: concrete (hands-on), pictorial, and then abstract. Students are developing a greater understanding of number sense through this learning experience.
Our students have many opportunities beyond the academic curriculum to become well-rounded individuals. They may participate in Art Club, Chorus, Band, and Orchestra as well as Student Council and Safety Patrols during the school day. Beyond the scheduled hours there are clubs such as The Ben Franklin Bolt (the school newspaper) Dance Fitness, Technology, Theater Arts, and Environmental Club.
Benjamin Franklin School enjoys a solid base of community support through our PTA. This organization provides many additional resources and activities to our students and families. Our Parent University provides the necessary information for our parents to support their children at home. We value the importance that families play in our success in educating their children.
We hope that we live up to our motto, "Ben Franklin Bolts Towards Excellence in Education Through Strong Bodies, Minds, and Character."

Helpful friendly staff, newly decorated, central location, breakfast included.
Hotel ok for couple days of staying
nice staff and good location the breakfast is poor.
The cotel is close to public transport and the rooms are nice, clean and quite spacious. Also the Internet connection worked very well.
Old building recently optimized. The stairs, while I think that it is a usual aspect in Holland architecture (usually you have to cliff through them) . On the other hand the hotel has an elevator.
Helpful friendly staff, newly decorated, central location, breakfast included.
Hotel ok for couple days of staying
Breakfast very poor. No air conditioning.
Neat and Clean room with friendly staff at the hotel. There was enough space in the room.
Small but nicely renovated, clean hotel. Rooms are rather small. Good value for the money.
The hotel staffs are very accommodating, they always ask me of anything I need and offer me coffee when I stayed at the lobby.
The room was clean and comfortable. Price is good. It's not so far from the center of the city and close to old port district which is interesting place BTW. Breakfast was minimalistic
The reception was great and it was a lovely room I needed to get up early and couldn't find breakfeast
very friendly and helpful. Bike availability location, access to room. It was a lot more like a bed and breakfast (but without the breakfast) than like a hotel, but priced closer to a hotel
is a 2 bedroom hotel and you don´t know until you arrive, it is a surprise
Nice clean room, comfy bed, good shower. Friendly and informative welcome. Bike a useful and enjoyable bonus.
Lovely little hotel, nice decorations, very comfy. Bikes were very useful, the perfect way to go around in town. Very warm and personal welcome. Highly recommended!
It is even better than what you saw on the web siite. Original design, warm hearted host, quiet place and luxary room. Highly recommend!!! Especially to young designers.
Dorona and his boyfriend are really nice people! The room was really comfortable and clean! The bike was very useful!
The Bed & Bike is a 2 - room hotel in a quiet neighbourhood aprox 20 minutes walk from the central station. We were in the big one of the rooms and it was really nice and comfortable. There is a small "kitchen" with everything you need : glasses, plates, corkscrew e.g. With the bikes the whole town is at your feet and there is a nice, calm and cosy feeling in the whole house. We had a really nice stay there.

breakfast was not bad.
Very helpful staff.
In spite of early booking we got a poor room at offered price. Without climate conditioning. A new room for the second night was quite allright. Caroets in the staircase and the room were nott very fresh.
Nothing it was a nightmare!! And thats a kind comment! Everything
Convenient location for the price. The man at the desk was very helpful. Breakfast was included. Next time I would book a room on the backside of the hotel as it was noisy and the streetlights came through the curtains.
Very pleasant staff, clean rooms well presented. On the last day we got up 45 mins late for breakfast and the woman on the desk still let us eat. Would recommend this Hotel and are planning to use it again.
1. Good Location, 2. Good, hearty, well supplied, daily dutch breakfast, and 3. People seemed friendly and courteous. Yes, 1. The complementary safe did not work. 2. The Toilet flushbox kept running, which required me every time having to open the flushbox lid and help its plunger valve close. 3. The room key was merely a skeleton key, which did not give a very safe feeling. 4. The bed reading light bulb was burnt out, which I did not discover until later. Hoewer, upon requist the staff brought me a differen
they are making some refurbishing and it is not so good (many workers, a big hole where they will put the lift : very dangerous!) The stairs were vertically!!very narrow!
spacious room hotel lobby is awful, gives very bad first impression
The room was big, very clean and had a large balcony. The breakfast was nice. The location, although quite close to the centre, was not so good. When I went to park the car I couldn't find the hotel parking lot (500m from the hotel) and I was even proposed some illicit substances... I finally gave up the idea of using the parking lot and got a bad feeling of insecurity.
Gratis kaffe, te, varm choklad i receptionen 24 timmar om dygnet. Trevlig personal. Det känns en smula dyrt, men det verkar inte finnas något riktigt budgetboende i Rotterdam, i alla fall kunde inte jag hitta något, så med detta i åtanke finns det inte mycket negativt att säga.
Lågt pris, centralt läge. Väldigt varmt rum på taket, ingen luftkonditionering/dålig ventilation. Klaustrofobisk känsla.
Låg inom gångavstånd till De Doelen Liten garderob
Lågt pris, standarden på rummen var ok för det priset. Personalen hade kunnat vara mer service-minded, men för det priset kanske man inte kan förvänta sig mer.
Intressanta inredningsdetaljer. Bra bekvämlighetsinrättningar; toalett och dusch. Frukosten var lite torftig - tyckte jag.

If I make changes to the Google Spreadsheet, should those changes stickAsked by uclamusicstage on October 12, 2015 at 09:17 PM
If I make changes to the Google Spreadsheet, should those changes stick? Because every once in a while it seems the spreadsheet resets, and looses all the changes I've made.
I kinda need to be able to notate and track the info that comes from the form.
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Integrate Form with Google Spreadsheet
JotForm Support
As far as I know about the latest update in our Google Spreadsheet integration, it should not reset your file to its default state. If it's doing that, please try re-integrating the form again. Doing so would give you a new sheet. Please do the changes in the spreadsheet and see what will happen if a submission is made.
I have the same question... and also just had a problem today with the spreadsheet changing. I will try re-integrating the form again.
When was the latest update in the google spreadsheet integration?
JotForm Support
The integration will still reset associated spreadsheet if you add new fields to the form or change existing field labels.
Thank you.
has there been a solution to the sheet resetting upon updating the form?
JotForm Support
We do not have an option to stop the default Google Spreadsheet resetting upon updating the form.
It might be possible to import the spreadsheet data to another (your custom one) spreadsheet with an IMPORTRANGE function.
Also, there is an alternative to our Google Spreadsheet integration - the integration via JotForm > Zapier > Google Spreadsheet.

About Hannah *Bee*
For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a massive part of my life. Growing up with my own dog, helping friends and family with theirs and helping in a family member's dog groomers has shaped my passion for the care of dogs. I got my own dog when I was ten years old and he is a huge part of my life, unfortunately he has gone blind over the past few years so he needs extra care and patience on walks, something I provide with care. My dog, Blue has diabetes and receives injections two times a day, which I do myself; this has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different needs.
I worked in a dog grooming salon at the weekends from the age of 13 through to the age of 16. I would wash around 6 dogs a day and cared for them until their owners came to collect them. This furthered my experience handling different kinds of dogs and made me confident and comfortable around them.
At the moment, I am a part time student studying one afternoon a week. This means I am very flexible schedule for dog walks and daycare. I am a young, fit and healthy individual who loves spending time outdoors in the fresh air.
Although I may not have as much experience as some, I am an extremely enthusiastic individual with a real passion for caring for your pets. I would be extremely honoured to be considered to look after your precious animals.

- Resident dogs: 0
- Outdoor space: Garden

A summer arrival from German side 1. FC Köln, the 23-year-old has seen the Belgian international duo combine to good effect in the Premier League, to the extent that we currently hold the top flight's third best defensive record in 2015-16.
Having made a handful of appearances in the cup competitions to date, Austrian international Kevin says he's been impressed by the endeavours of his defensive colleagues this term.
And he reckons the cues he's taken from Toby and Jan's showings can only help him as he continues to work hard on the training ground with the goal of earning more game time in the future.
"Toby and Jan are really good players and I can learn a lot from them," he explained. "They're first choice for Belgium as well as Spurs so that shows their quality.
"Before I came here I always watched them on television – Jan for Spurs and Toby for Southampton – and I knew they were big stars, really good centre-backs. Then one day I went from just watching them to coming here and working together with them and that's been amazing.
"For me, I'm still quite young and I can learn a lot from players like that. At the games I try to look at what they are doing so I can improve myself.
"Of course, I hope that I will play more games soon but there is still plenty of time. I really enjoy the chance to work with Toby, Jan, Federico Fazio and the other defenders here, it's fun to train together with them and everything is really positive."

Actually, it writing your own classloader *does* solve the problem. Cocoon provided a so-called "paranoid" block providing a "ParanoidCocoonServlet". This servlet loads the Cocoon servlet (or any other servlet through a config in web.xml) in a ParanoidClassLoader that shields the webapp's classes from the upper-level classloaders. Shielding means that classes and resources are always looked up _first_ in the webapp before delegating to the parent classloader. Up to now, this has always saved my life in crazy classloading environments ;-) More info at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/EndorsedLibsProblem You can also browse the source at http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/cocoon/trunk/src/blocks/paranoid/ > ps... our project is described at http://openlaszlo.org We know it, and are happy to see you here :-) There was a discussion here when you went opensource and we'd love to have a "LaszloSerializer" in Cocoon.

$143 Billion Payroll Tax
February 19, 2012 by staff
$143 Billion Payroll Tax, The $143 billion payroll tax cut won by President Barack Obama may be the last significant measure he receives from a deeply divided Congress that promises to only get more polarized as Election Day approaches.
Obama's coveted renewal of the payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and jobless benefits for millions more caps a five-month campaign-style drive against reluctant Republicans.
Under the bill Congress approved Friday, workers would continue to receive a 2 percentage point increase in their paychecks, and people out of work for more than six months would keep jobless benefits averaging about $300 a week, steps that Obama says will help support a fragile recovery from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
It would also head off a steep cut in reimbursements for physicians who treat Medicare patients.
The tax cuts, jobless coverage and higher doctors' payments would all continue through 2012.
Passage of the legislation hands Obama a victory over objections from many GOP lawmakers who oppose it but were eager to wipe the issue from the election-year agenda.

I am 20yo, prety good atlethic body, i hear i am beautiful, but i am virgin... i dont even know how to kiss... Short explenation... i always liked the most beautiful girl and never asked them out hoping it will somehow happen... but it never did... i am a bit shy, that was till second year of highschool, and then i was ashamed of not being experienced... i met one girl through messages, my best friend gave me her number and told me she is my tipe and maybe she is willing to learn me... we were texting for 2 weeks, she had some problems, and didn't go out of the house too much for like a half year before that, so she was kind of scared, after those 2 weeks we have gone out (dont know if its right tense, not my first language :D ), she didn't know how i was unexperienced... it was a little cold but i used it to get closer to her, everything was good till that moment at the end, i wanted to kiss her and she didn't want to, i stood in front of her and told her " we aren't leaving this place till we kiss" and i looked at her mouth, she looked at mine, looking each other eyes and then closing them and a kiss... i didn't know to kiss (watched some tutorial online, but not the same), but she didn't say anything till latter when i was in bus, and i told her whole story, and she told me that i should hire a hooker to learn me... i dont want that... What is best way for me to learn... i know i have been liked by some girls, i know like 5 of them who would be with me but, not sure if they will tell, and i dont want anyone to know... There is one women i like, 30yo, and i would ask her, i think she will help, or should i ask someone my age or younger, or what? :D Wanna learn it before i find good girl for me :D
Girls, how would you react?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
If the girl really likes you she shouldn't care if you are a virgin. You should really think about this since this is your virginity. I mean my boyfriend regretted losing his to a non virgin girl.00|00|0
You reminded me of something important :D Virgin, thats ok, kind of... but i dont know where to learn to french kiss good, dont want to learn on "the one" :D
In that case have you thought about asking a close friend that you know that could possibly help you? It doesn't really take long once a girl let you practice on her.
Yes it's definitely okay to be a virgin.
"Girls how would you react"
I'd run away.00|00|0
Hahahah lol :D You didn't read it, did you? :D
What Guys Said 1
its not hard, check internet. Normal kiss is just like brushing your partners upper or lower lips with your lips.00|00|0
Thanks... Started like that and did it French after first time... but not good as she noticed i dont know to do it and i dont know what to do, i am a proud guy and dont want anyone to know i dont know how to kiss... but how should i learn? too much i dont know? :D i feel like crazy person :D
Well you can act like a drunk guy and try to kiss her. If you kiss terriblely you will always have an excuse that you were drunk.
Drunk kiss, why didn't i think of that? Next time i go out, girls have to watch out for my drunk kisses :D

Urartu was an ancient Hurrian state located around Lake Van in the eastern part of Anatolia. The earliest historical mention of Urartu comes from texts of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser I dating from the 13th century BCE. It is thought that Urartu was a multiethnic state in which Hurrian tribes likely formed the dominant element. Urartu played an important role in shaping the modern Armenian people.
Initial government is Despotism.
