is called to order.
Who's up?
Whatcha workin' on?
I baked about 8 dozen cookies today for an event tomorrow. I'm pooped!!
cookies for me too..... chocolate chip, chocolate brownie cookies, snickerdoodle and custom sugar cookies for an event.
Having trouble with consistancy of the choc chip....not 'puffy' - they keep flattening out...ughh
Leahs what are you working on?
I'm working on a baby shower cake and a purse cake, both for tomorrow. The purse cake was giving me problems, but I think I've got it figured out now! I'll be up late tonight ....
So, let me tell you about my day. Came home from a morning meeting, finished up a cake that was being picked up at noon, decorated a birthday cake that's being picked up tomorrow. Wasted about an hour doing next to nothing, then thought that I'd better check my paperwork for the wedding cake for tomorrow.
It's 2:24 p.m.
I look at my worksheet and notice the date. The cake is to be delivered on 4.23.10, with a tentative delivery time off 4.
You see the problem.
Fortunately I had prepped the cake.
Unfortunately it was four tiers, I had not made icing yet, it needed fondant ribbon and and gumpaste flowers needed to be painted and wires attached. Even more unfortunately I broke my airbrush a couple of days ago.
I throw everything into high gear. While the icing is mixing, start painting the flowers with a color + vodka mix so it will dry fast.
The icing comes out perfect, goes on quickly. By4pm all four tiers were iced and the pearls were on. I put in the SPS system, stacked three tiers, rolled out the fondant, cut ribbons and applied them. Fortunately I'm pretty good at keeping precolored fondant on hand. Put the cake in the ginormous delivery box.
At this point I checked the flowers and they're not drying fast enough. I few minutes with the hair dryer pointed at them and they're dry enough. Then using a really thick gum glue I put blobs of fondant on the underside of the gerber daisies and gum glued the wire in. Yeah, yeah I stick fabric covered wires into cakes.
Then since I knew hubby would be home from work any minute so that we could deliver, I started cleaning the kitchen.
Well, since I hadn't mentioned to DH that we had a delivery, he decided to work late. I called, "Are you close?" Him, "No, I'm still at the studio." Me, "Whaaat? Come home now!"
He makes it home in record time, we put everything into the truck and off we go. The venue is only 4 minutes away. When we get there at 5pm, the family is still decorating and the cake table has just been set up. (It was a 6:45 wedding.)
We set everything up, the family makes many happy comments and no one's the wiser.
Alls well that ends well.
have you got butter in the cchocolate chip cookie?
I'm exhausted just reading that Leah!
Finished the last of the birthday cakes today, now working on the largest wedding cake I have ever done. Fondant ripped, pullled it off 2 times, after pulling my hair the second time I decided to scratch that fondant and get out some new lol. Finally have it covered, now waiting for my eggplant purple fondant to do all the changing it's going to do before I start putting ribbon around the bottom and making roses to go on the top. Eggplant.........?????.... yuck! Now I have purple hands
Leah - Wow!
Working on a 4 tier wedding cake with 2 kitchen cakes on the side and 6" round present cake for the flower girl who's birthday is tomorrow.
Yeah, once the adrenaline rush was over, I was pooped.
leah_s, i'm exhausted after reading that post! good for you and your DH!
i actually took the weekend off! my husband is running his 6th marathon this weekend, so we are out of town. and wouldn't you all know it that i had 8 requests for cakes this weekend!!! had to turn them all down. and the girl i love to refer customers to was all booked up this weekend too. so i referred them to a local bakery, but made them promise to come back to me for their next cake, as i know mine taste better
it feels really odd to be up on a friday night, not glued to my kitchen!!!
see you ladies next friday though...i need to make up for this weekend off
Leah, just reading about your ordeal wears me out! I couldn't have pulled that off, even if I wanted to.
I hope you get to rest tonight at least, you deserve it!
So when do we get to see you on one of the competition shows, sounds like you are more than qualified?
I was worn out just by reading what YOU did today ! Good thing you checked that paperwork and were ready to kick into high gear!
and yes there is butter in this recipe (12 tablespoons melted)....the cookies are good ( not great) and flatter than I want...back to the drawing board, I think...
I went to the theater with daughter tonight, and came home to chat with you lovelies. I do plan on getting some sleep tonight though!
I've been asked to do a baby shower cake for a diabetic mom-to-be so I've just been researching recipes. Any suggestions or helpful hints?
Just starting baking for my final order for tomorrow, a two tier baby shower cake. Fondant has to be tinted and decorated once cakes are cool and ready! Gonna be a long night!
I'm about halfway done with a skateboard cake due tomorrow. I am just too worn out to stay up late to finish it.
That's all I've got for this weekend!
Leah, so glad that everything worked out for you today . Good thing that you looked over that paperwork.
I'm resting tonight. It's been a busy week and I just finished a three tiered birthday cake for my niece and a small wedding cake for a friend. The birthday cake kicked my butt. The humidity is so high here right now that nothing would dry. Made a georgeous bow that still isn't dry so my neice's cake didn't have a topper. Oh well the cake was really cute.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
KKristy, just sub veg shortening for the butter. Veg shortening has a higher melting point and will keep the cookies taller. Butter is petty much a guarantee of a flat crispy cookie.
Thanks for the input....I figured it was probably the butter (but it tastes so good, lol!)
...almost done with the brownie cookies...moving on to the snickerdoodle
Well then, try half butter and half veg shortening.
wow Leah!!
I just finished work!! Yay! It was a rough day in the bakery. Busy busy!
2 wedding consults
huge crazy lunch hour
And my clipboard contained. 2 2 tiered 1st birthday cakes. 6 sheet cakes, and a 3 tiered wedding cake.
I thought I would never get out of there.
Have fun tonight!!
I just got done baking everything for this weekends orders. I will head in early tomorrow to do a Mystery Machine, then a little girl's decorating birthday party, then a "woman's upper torso area" cake for a guys birthday
heavenlys - wow you had a busy day too ! crazy lunch hour, huh ?
First time ever done at a reasonable time 8:00 pm on a Friday night (unheard of for me). Most of the time I'm working on the cake as it is walking out the door. Feel good tonight.
Wow Leah, I would've paid good money to have been a bug on your wall watching you in action! You amaze me, girlfriend!
KKristy, I use butter only for my chocolate chip cookies and they never turn out flat. I make sure my butter isn't too soft but soft enough that it will indent when I touch the sides but not "squishy." After I roll the dough in balls, I also refrigerate them until they're cold.
I'm working on a full sheet cake for Sunday; just doing the baking tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to a Beth Moore simulcast (she's an amazing Bible Study teacher for women) and then coming home to figure out how to decorate the cake. It's flower themed - and butterflies for a multiple birthday - a 21 year-old and an 80 year-old. The 21-year-old is severely handicapped and not cognitively aware of anything and is on tube feedings. She wasn't supposed to live past several years old. The cake is for the birthday people's church on Sunday.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
As i'm checking and rechecking my ganache (and patting myself on the back for actually making it so that it can sit overnight to set up to use under fondant tomorrow), it just doesn't look right. Not until i take a break back at the computer and see 2:1 chocolate to cream, does it dawn on me that i measured out 24 oz of cream to 24 oz of chocolate. So i scramble around trying to find 24 MORE oz of chocolate to melt (dark chips, milk chips, and a dark fancy bar from trader joes). Thankfully a 50% micro and whisking it in and it looks normal again. I have a lot of ganache!
and i did a WASC extender on a chocolate cake, and for some reason thought that a 'milk' chocolate BC would be okay if i added some extra cocoa to the dry ingredients. The tester cake was just blah. No way i could use that. So now i have to get out early to get more sour cream, more cake boards and bake off the chocolate layers. (i'm doing a chocolate layer and a white layer on a 10"/6" birthday cake for 5 YO twins.) thankfully the cake isn't needed until Sunday morning, so i still have a little bit of breathing room.
I just finished a "crab" cake for a friend's famly birthday tomorrow.
And laughed my butt off while another friend complained a for the last 6 hours about how difficult cookeis are to do and next time she will just have me do a cake. She wanted cookie pops, for her son's b-day on Sunday, in the shape of Legos. No problem, I will bake the cookies and then you can come over and decorate them.
LMAO~she wined the whole time, couldn't believe how much work went into such simple cookies. I didn't help her at all, in fact took a break while she bagged and tied all 40 of them and arranged them in a basket.
I told her, the next time you hear someone complain about cake or cookie prices, tell them ALL about the work involved. I also reminded her that she didn't have to bake the cookies or make the frosting.
I know what you mean...but great idea of having her come over and decorate-now she really knows how much time it takes and how difficult it can be!
I love the elmo cookies in your pics...too cute! What kind of icing are you using on your cookies? Doesn't look like royal...is it rolled bc or fondant ? Either way...nice cookies !

Review: Waless Waterless Carwash
I decided to go completely green and wash my car with environment friendly products. They use the simple technique of spray on, rub gently then wipe off. This brings the advantage of not needing to use water. That's why they offer cleaning your car anywhere, including where you work. To see details about the type of sprays they use click here.
They first start off with a heavy air blower to extract all the dust that was gathered through time. Never knew what a dusty mess my car was until he turned it on. But I'm not to blame, with Kuwait's weather a dustless car is no where to be seen.
The workers take their job very delicately. His brush reminded me of The Jurassic Park, where they would use a very similar brush to brush away dust off dinosaur bones. The brush really helps dust away those annoying small spots where all the dust gathers up but you've never really bothered doing anything about it.
After gently spraying and rubbing the exterior the shine turned out amazing. The car had a lot more reflection than when it did while washed by water. They also added a protection spray from dust that lasts between 3-7 days, dependent on the weather. Waterless carwash prices starts from 5KD for a Sedan and 6KD for an SUV. My package cost 8KD because of the extra protection.

Question: Why would a firm want to offer pricing promotions in
Why would a firm want to offer pricing promotions in its peak-demand periods?
View Solution:
View Solution:
Answer to relevant QuestionsWhy would a firm want to offer pricing promotions during its low-demand periods? What factors lead to a batching of orders within a supply chain? How does this affect coordination? What actions can minimize large batches and improve coordination? As demand at the supermarket chain grows, how would you expect the cycle inventory measured in days of inventory to change? Explain. Consider a firm like Zara that has developed production capabilities with very short replenishment lead times. Do you think this capability is more valuable for its online operations or its store operations? Why? In the 1980s, paint was sold by color and size in paint retail stores. Today paint is mixed at the paint store according to the color desired. Discuss what, if any, impact this change has on safety inventories in the supply ...

|This product has been discontinued.
It cannot be purchased in retail stores. The only way to obtain it is through second-hand websites and stores.
The Sharpshooter II is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1995 under the Nerf Action series.
It comes packaged with four Mega Darts.
The Sharpshooter II is a simple, spring-powered blaster. A notable feature of the Sharpshooter II is its two barrels that are fired separately, a similar feature to what was seen on the Secret Shot and Secret Shot II. Changing which barrel will be fired is done by changing the position of the blaster's green foregrip. The blaster features an iron sight at the end of the barrel.
Dart storage is found at either side of the blaster.
It is the successor of the 1992 Sharpshooter from the Original Nerf line of blasters.
It was released in the second line of Nerf Action blasters alongside the Secret Shot, Ripsaw and Crossbow. The Sharpshooter II is notable for being the first blaster to feature the new type of Mega Darts, known as "Type 2" Mega Darts.[2]
The Sharpshooter II, due to its simple internals, was incredibly popular with modders. The blaster is extremely simple to modify, with rebarreling being the most common mod for this blaster. Many modders choose to remove the second barrel of the blaster when modifying in order to focus performance on the top barrel.[3]
Another common method of modding a Sharpshooter II is banding, the act of placing rubber bands around the cocking mechanism and placing them onto the blaster in order to have more pressure on the priming mechanism and to increase the range of the blaster.
The Sharpshooter II was the main blaster of infamous early Nerfer, Spoon1, who was well known for his modifications to the Sharpshooter II, some of which can still be accessed through web archives.[4] Upon the releases of the Lock 'n Load and the SplitFire, many Nerfers began using those blasters for modifications instead of the Sharpshooter II.[5] Since then, it has not had the same level of popularity, and is rarely seen in Nerf wars.
Reloading and firing
To reload the Sharpshooter II, simply insert two darts into the front barrels of the blaster. Pull back the cocking mechanism to prime the blaster.
Pull the firing trigger to fire a dart. To fire another dart, repeat the cocking process, and pull back or push forward the pump at the front of the blaster to select which barrel you are going to use.

The Dangers of Drinking and Riding
Clearly this injury would have been prevented had the victim been accompanied by a friend, yet it appears that no such campaign will be launched by the Transit Authority.
"Dustin Dibble, 26, lost part of his right leg in the accident at Union Square station in April, 2006. He had been out with friends watching ice hockey at a bar, according to his lawyer, and said he was too drunk to remember how he ended up on the tracks or anything about the accident.
A jury said he deserved $2.3 million, but an appeals court panel on Tuesday (6/22) threw out his lawsuit.
Jurors last year found that Mr. Dibble bore some responsibility for his injury, but they put most of the blame on New York City Transit."

'There is nobody, there's no script, there's nothing,' insisted the actor who plays Alfred Pennyworth in the last two installments of 'Batman' film at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
Although he has uttered willingness to join "Batman 3", Johnny Depp is unlikely to be seen taking a part in the possible next installment of the caped crusader. Offering words on the matter was "The Dark Knight" actor Michael Caine when MTV caught up with him during 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
"Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman," the Alfred Pennyworth depicter opened up on the chance Depp will be seen in future Batman movie. Although admitting that it could be wrong, the 76-year-old reinforced his statement by saying, "They tell me in no uncertain terms."
On the status of "Batman 3", the "Batman Begins" actor claimed that the movie won't be developed by 2011. "There is nobody, there's no script, there's nothing," the Academy Award-winning actor stated. He then added that director Christopher Nolan is busy with his upcoming sci-fi feature, saying "It can't possibly be made before 2011 because 'Inception' is such a big picture."
In late June, Johnny Depp has addressed speculations that placed him as a strong candidate to star as Batman's foe, the Riddler. While promoting "Public Enemies", the Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of Caribbean" trilogy told MTV, "If the opportunity came, I'd definitely juggle it. I always liked the Riddler."
So far, nothing has been set in stone for the follow-up film to the 2008 blockbuster "The Dark Knight". Director Christopher Nolan is yet to commit to the possible project despite thoughts that he will return to his helming position after finishing his work on "Inception". Actor Gary Oldman has suggested that "Batman 3" is set to start filming in 2010. Warner Bros. has declined to comment of the start date rumor.

Bookies cut odds on Ireland to qualify for knockout stage
After today's two results, Paddy Power reckon our chances have improved, but we are still the outsiders in Group E.
Following Ireland's 1-1 draw with Sweden and Italy's 2-0 win over Belgium the bookie has released their latest odds for progress from Group E.
Italy have now romped in to an eye watering 1/80 to qualify.
Belgium, despite defeat tonight, are still odds on at 2/7 and Sweden, despite a lacklustre showing against Martin O'Neill's men, are priced at Evens to make it to the next stage.
Ireland, who were 13/10, are now 5/4 to make it out of what could be the toughest group in the tournament.
Ireland's odds of winning the tournament haven't changed today, sticking at 100/1.

Class space, especially in STA courses, is limited. If you are a major, contact your advisor and they can see what can be done. If not a major within AAHD, you can also contact the department advisor, but you might not receive priority over those with declared majors. Advisors can help with STA, ATD and HA courses.
An override is permission granted by an academic advisor to let a student enroll in a course. The advisor will determine whether the student has the required background or prerequisites for the course or have explicit permission from the instructor in order to grant an override. Instructors cannot grant overrides, so this process must go through an advisor.
To be admitted for your junior year, you will apply during the fall of your sophomore year. Before applying, you need to have passed the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification Basic Skills Test (all three parts: reading, writing, and math).
Your overall GPA must be 2.75 or higher by the end of the fall semester you apply and all remedial or developmental courses in math (e.g., MTH 1825) and writing must be complete. The web-based, proctored application essay and application are available at http://www.educ.msu.edu/. You will submit all required hard-copy documents to 134 Erickson Hall.
For current juniors or seniors wishing to accelerate their teacher education program; submission is required of an acceleration planning grid (available via the application website) to show plan to complete all degree and teacher education undergraduate requirements by summer 2013. Students must make an appointment with an academic advisor for the desired major to evaluate and approve their plan to accelerate.
Questions for the College of Education can be directed to advisors in 134 Erickson Hall or by calling 353- 9680
BFA reviews take place in both the fall and spring semesters. There will be a workshop prior to the review where you will be advised regarding submission requirements.
You need to apply for the BFA in Studio Art before you have accumulated a total of 30 STA credits (including Foundations courses). This generally happens during your second year, either in Fall or Spring. If you are declared as a BFA major, you will receive an email telling that you are now eligible to apply. If you are now a BA but considering the BFA, you will need to contact an advisor.
BFA Apparel and Textile Design students will apply after their foundations courses are complete and they have completed either ATD 222 or ATD 323. If you are declared as a BFA major, you will receive an email saying that you are now eligible to apply. If you are a BA and wanting to change to a BFA, you will need to contact an advisor.
For both STA and ATD, you will fill out an application and be required to write a statement about your work. A digital portfolio, presentation and statement will be reviewed by a committee of faculty. The review shows the department that your studio work and understanding of concepts are at an adequate level to go forward in upper-level, more concentrated courses in the BFA.
Yes. If you have less then 56 credits you can go to your nearest Undergraduate University Division (UUD) office to change your major. If you have more than 56 credits you can simply email an advisor with your change or meet with them to discuss the degree requirements.
Any student can enroll in a class that has no prerequisites (e.g., Drawing 1). However, the enrollment of these classes will be restricted to majors until about a month before classes begin. At that point, these courses can be added by a non-major. For enrollment questions, please email AAHD adviser Britta Urness (firstname.lastname@example.com)
We offer a minor in Art History and Visual Culture that requires 17 - 21 credits in Art History courses. We do not offer a minor in Studio Art or Apparel and Textile Design, but these could be a secondary major or fulfill a cognate area for another major.
We also offer the Museum Studies Program, which prepares undergraduates and graduates for innovative careers in museums and interpretive centers of learning. This program results in a minor for undergraduates and a certificate for graduate and Lifelong education students.
Roughly half of all MSU students choose to study abroad or away during their time at MSU. The AAHD department offers Summer Study Abroad programs in which you can earn Studio Art, IAH or Art History credit. Summer trip schedules will become solidified by the end of Fall semester. You can meet with an advisor to weigh options and discuss credits.
Even more opportunities are available through the College of Arts and Letters http://studyabroad.isp.msu.edu/programs/
An internship is a required part of the graphic design concentration in studio art. Roughly 50% of Apparel and Textile Design students do intern work during their time at MSU. Other STA students in other concentrations (e.g., painting, sculpture…) can find internships as well. The department will not place you in these positions, but may assist in providing links and contacts for you.
All internships need to be approved by both an instructor and the chair of AAHD to make sure that the work relates directly to your concentration.

Studio Art, Photography // Prof. Peter Glendinning

Art Education students are required to complete a one-year teaching internship as a part of their degree and certification. The College of Education places you in a student teaching position after you have applied to their college.
You may schedule an appointment through the MSU Advising Calendar. Faculty advisors may be reached via email. When contacting an advisor, please include your student PID #.
Independent Study courses are generally for those in their last few semesters. With a specific instructor, you can set up an amount of work to be completed independent from a class. There should be a good reason as to why you want this kind of arrangement as opposed to enrolling in an established course.
The credit amount is agreed upon by you and the instructor. The Independent Study Contract details the course plan, amount of work and number of contact hours with the instructor is to be filled out and approved by the Chair of AAHD.

After approval, you will then be enrolled in the specific section of ATD, HA or STA 490 for the required amount of credits.
Special Topics courses are numbered 391 or 491 in each area. These are courses that may not be regularly offered and/or cover a very specific topic in the field. For example, topics could include "Comics and Visual Narrative" or "Special Topics in Accessories". All Special Topics courses need an override from an advisor and may have certain restrictions or prerequisites.

Back in the 20th century, if a piece of clothing succeeded in making you look younger or thinner, or if it conveyed to the world an elevated sense of your class beginnings, it could already be considered a multitasker: it protected you from the elements and improved your appearance. But just as cellphones are now expected to calculate restaurant tips and television screens do double duty as computer monitors, a new generation of technologically enhanced garments is becoming baroquely purposeful.
A company named Foster-Miller, for instance, recently designed a textile with conductive properties: each thread can transmit electrical currents, just like a wire, so that Americans will one day, at least theoretically, be able to recharge their cellphones with their polo shirts. Another firm, Technology Enabled Clothing, has developed the ScotteVest Sport Lite, which conceals cellphone headset wires and a ''hydration system,'' a back pocket for a water bottle with a straw running through the vest's collar to the wearer's mouth.
DuPont's apparel division is pursuing what Bob Kirkwood, a vice president at the company, calls ''the management of odors.'' Next year DuPont will introduce a fabric that can temporarily imprison offensive scents -- so that, say, a shirt that spent the night in a smoke-filled bar will arrive home at 5 a.m. smelling as if it passed the hours in a spring meadow. DuPont's scientists have also developed Teflon-treated fabric; spills bounce right off.
The South Korean company Kolon, in turn, has developed the ''fragrant suit,'' treated with anxiety-soothing herbs like lavender and mint. And Triumph International, a lingerie company, has produced a bra-and-underwear set that promises to keep skin supple with built-in infusions of aloe vera. It makes you wonder: how long before turtlenecks begin administering Botox? Ginia BellafanteContinue reading the main story

"Very disappointed"
About: Leicester Royal Infirmary Leicester Royal Infirmary Leicester LE1 5WW
Posted by Anonymous
My Husband was recently in your hospital after having an accident in Leicester with a broken hip, the operation was a sucsess hats of for the surgeons. The care he received after was abissmol. he was on ward 18 on Balmoral some of the nurses were uncaring he was told the day after his op on asking for help to the toilet " you know were it is" he asked for something to help him go to the toilet which he never received, he never pressed his buzzer only in emergency but another patient on his ward who was shouting for pills and Metherdome all night seemed to get all the attention, he was also left for 25mins in a room which I can only describe as a broom cupboard with a toilet in it being sick 2 days after his op trying to clean himself up, my husband is a proud man who trys not to ask for help and it was very degrading for him. Thank god after 6 days he was transferred to the Royal Oldham nearer home were he was told spending time in your hospital had put his recovery back 4 days. Consequently an op that should have had him home within 10 days 2 week later is still in hospital. I am complaining as I am a RMN and the way he was treated could give us all a bad name and the NHS as enough of a bad name as it is.

Archangel Gabriel
- Messenger, clarity, purity
Archangel Gabriel is associated with the white ray of purity and is often called upon to help cleanse and purify thoughts, feelings and deeds. Those who are feeling spiritually blocked may benefit from asking for help from Archangel Gabriel and visualising the white ray of purity enveloping them.
Archangel Gabriel is also known as a messenger. For example, as Angel Gabriel, he is mentioned in several places in the Old Testament and Bible and was named as the angel who brought messages to Elizabeth and Mary about the forthcoming births of their children, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth.
Interestingly, in some forms of art and literature, Archangel Gabriel is also pictured as being female.
The names of all the archangels finish with the letters, "el", which mean, "in God."

Watch the world's first analog version of Snapchat in action
This installation from a London artist prints your portrait – and then destroys it in front of your eyes
- TextThomas Gorton
We live in a time of moments layered upon moments, our interactions ephemeral and our attentions spans shortening by the day. But London-based artist Shawn Soh is determined to prove that there is "value in ephemera". To that end, he's hammered together an Arduino camera, a printer and a hair straightener to create an installation piece called The Eraser in collaboration with Persiis Hajiyanni, which he describes as the world's first analog version of Snapchat.
Viewers are directed to stand in front of the camera, which snaps a picture and immediately starts printing it out via a thermal receipt printer. You see your own portrait for a few seconds, only to watch the paper slide through a hair straightener and immediately turn black, joining a pile of other erased portraits. Just like Snapchat, the machine showcases moments with an expiry date. And no, you can't screengrab it.
"A couple tinkering on their iPhone on a romantic date, tourists Instagramming sights instead of taking it in, lonebirds scrolling on Facebook to fill in silent gaps in a house party... These are all common sights," Soh explains. "I wondered if we'd lost the ability to just simply live in the moment without the necessity to enshrine it virtually."

Let's compare the different monsters and see how strong they are!
GFW Hedorah: No acidic qualities, wasn't immune to thermonuclear breath.
Showa Hedorah: Disolved people almost instantly into skeletons. Was immortal basicly, if there was a water source around, he would never dry out. Almost killed Godzilla multiple times via: Choking, Smothering, and Melting. Messed with Showa Godzilla's regeneration so bad his hand remained skeletal through out the fight.
GFW Kamacuras: Was able to withstand missiles hitting his back, but was impaled by a radio tower?
Showa Kamacuras: Was able to go toe to toe with Godzilla, and one was able to survive getting hit in the face with Godzilla's heat beam multiple times.
GFW Kumonga: Ignoring the fact he somehow JET PROPELLED HIMSELF BACKWARDS after Godzilla threw him, pretty much the same as...wait, no.
Showa Kumonga: Was venomus, almost killed Godzilla twice if Minya didn't step in and stop him.
GFW Rodan: After being hit by Anguirus, he fell into a nose dive, which he could easily have pulled out of, but no, he just spiraled downwards while screaming like a loony. Was knocked out by a mountain.
Showa Rodan: Was able to ram himself, top speed, into Ghidorah, both falling with Ghidorah basicly landing on him, and get back up to fight.
GFW Anguirus: While in the Thunder Ball mode, an offensive AND deffensive move, was knocked out by rolling off Godzilla's chest into a mountain.
Showa Anguirus: Survived falling into a giant crater in Megalon, a buzzsaw to the face and getting dropped from a good distance in the sky in vs Gigan, survived a beating from MechaGodzilla, and was dropped again, onto his back, and then stomped on, by Ghidorah.
GFW King Caesar: Was slowly tossed into a mountain. And boy, let me tell you. I've had arguements with a guy on TohoKingdom who thought the act of Godzilla merely tossing K.C was enough to knock him out.
Showa K.C: Was able to get back up after a beat down by MechaGodzilla, then again after MechaGodzilla used his all out attack.
GFW Gigan: Not so much weak as he is stupid. He was dumb enough to stand RIGHT infront of the working end of Godzilla while reeling him in towards the chain saw belly.
Showa Gigan: Fought Godzilla three times, and was beaten to retreat. Constantly shot down out of the sky. Was finally killed by Zone Fighter.
Now we get to the fun one:
GFW Godzilla: Yeah, his skills were impressive. But we've seen them all before in OTHER forms of Godzilla. I take it you all saw the Godzilla vs Gamera death match by ScrewAttack, correct? I don't need to get into the whole 'meteor' thing right? We've all seen it.
Showa Godzilla: Was able to achieve flight with his beam. Watch the Deathmatch again, they go into detail about how this could have happened.
But not just that, Godzilla has thrown kaiju heavier than him around like ragdolls. Ghidorah, Hedorah, and MechaGodzilla 2. He was also able to dismember monsters, (Ebirah, Spyler, Jellar) easily. He is smart enough to know human fighting styles (Boxing, wrestling, karate). as well as know when to team up with other monsters to face a bigger threat. He was able to survive Hedorah. That alone should make him stand out.
He used his tail alone to lift and throw Gigan around multiple times.
Heisei Godzilla: By far the STRONGEST Godzilla there is. Faced some strong opponents. Was able to lift MechaGodzilla II like he was a balloon by grabbing the most awkward part of the mech's body. Survived the fights with SpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah. That alone makes him VERY impressive. Not Hedorah level, but seeing as the one who fought original Hedorah was only half of Heisei's size...
Final Wars Godzilla suffers from 'weaker monsters make me look good' syndrome that GMK Godzilla suffered before him. Am I saying he's a weak baby? No, that honor belongs to the 1954 Godzilla, who was afraid of planes. GFW Godzilla is somewhere between Showa and Heisei. There's other Godzillas that are on that scale, but really, comparing any other Godzilla to Marvel's is stupid, since that one took Mjolneer to the face and got up like it was nothing.

Everything feels terrible and strange in Oslo these days. You can only hope that there will be a day when you wake up and the tragedy isn't the first thing on your mind, or the sorrow that wakes you up in the first place. Nevertheless you simply have to go on, be strong. It feels better to live by a principle that says that you cannot change what has happened, it has passed irrevocably. There is no real point in regret and anger, you can only change things now, change them for the better, be better.
I am leaving for Kennedy Space Center in four days, it is a certainty, a sort of mental jolt, in the concreteness of it. I have to gather identification papers, make sure my visa waiver is valid, launder clothes, check the weather report, arrange flights, transfers and sleepovers. Crowds are suffocating, men in uniform frightening; yesterday we went to an island, and sitting there knowing you can't swim to shore had a surreal quality, fiction-like. I can't help but laugh at pictures and stories when I forget to be unhappy, or be glad that we're here after all. I feel like that is eventually more important than grief.
There is (almost unfortunately) a tinge of historical greatness to the victims of the terror; fallen comrades like those who fell for impressive causes, fighting cruelty, who were killed meaninglessly while standing up for something important. Killing for the sake of destroying a multicultural society seems absurd. If anything, growing up surrounded by several cultures has taught me to understand before passing judgment, it is one of my most precious experiences.
In Florida, the launch of Juno is going ahead as planned: she has been placed in the capsule, mounted atop a rocket, carried to the launch pad. Juno is going to explore Jupiter, covering 33 laps in polar orbit before plunging into the atmosphere of the gas giant. She is meant to solve the riddles of how Jupiter formed, what lies beneath the shroud of gaseous, turbulent clouds, and – at the very least give hints at – how the solar system came to be. The vastness of space that we're not even wired to comprehend, but must simply accept as fact, is one of those constant things that erases most personal turmoil and discomfort. It is huge, and we are so incredibly tiny, we're just going to have to do our best on our "mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam". The rest is a profound, confusing and fascinating adventure, like losing yourself in your favourite book, only it's something we can discover for real and a story that we are continuously writing.

You have heard it said, "Everything happens for a reason." This straightforward concept not only applies to livelihood and love, but in addition, it speaks to our everyday relationships. Each person that has come into our life, whether for a period of days or years, arrived along our route to serve a purpose.
Most folks have trouble figuring out what to do once this is realized by them. While it might appear somewhat harsh or insensitive to break ties, it's absolutely good, and in fact, really healthy to cut away people.
1. If You Are Not Happy To See Or Be Around Them
Don't ignore the signs if their presence becomes unsettling to your own nature. Your instincts simply pick up on the truth and seek to direct you so. There comes a time when things –– and folks –– no longer bring you happiness or joy.
2. When They Offer Only Negativity
Perspective is everything. More so, we each have the power to speak things into existence. For those with an optimistic prognosis, the fruits of activities and our thoughts reap positive benefits. Yet, for individuals who carry an approach of ungratefulness or constantly whine, the feeling becomes filled with gloom and negativity. People who always need to criticize others show a sure indication of squandering energy and precious time on the wrong things and, finally, aren't deserving of yours.
3. Non-exchange
Relationships are an exchange. It takes two people invested in making each other better, holding each other accountable and being in need. Those people who are always first at the table and walk away with the most before leaving anything must be driven to take their hunger elsewhere. When you begin to feel used or taken advantage of, mentally or spiritually, cut it off instantly.
4. When It Is Possible To No Further Trust Them
Matters might never be exactly the same, once it is endangered. Trust can take years to develop and a just a few moments to break. Those who claim a space in your circle must be people you find trustworthy, dependable and truly concerned about what is finest for you. Sets in, find the exit when the bond is broken or treachery.
5. When They're Not Encouraging
You should always surround yourself with people who support your dreams and you. Though support comes in many forms, the common thread is truthfulness and credibility. Those with a real want to observe you win in life don't care to offer never-ending pats on the back or overlook your weaknesses –– they actively push one to function as the best version of yourself. Stay clear of those that bring you down rather than lift you up.
All matters, including individuals and feelings, change. It really is only fair for all parties involved to proceed, when they do change. Every choice you make has a primary impact on your future. As a result, you should never feel guilty for making selections which are in your very best interests. You must remember: It's your life.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Amgen (Berkeley, CA) in November 2015.
Apply through university career center website; got the interview, really testing if you fits the company culture, especially if you really want to do something to serve patients; took a month to get the response of an offer from HR's phone call a a Friday night
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Amgen.
Phone interview. Hiring interviewer asked about web applications, but was not really ready to hear answers. Was more interested in poking holes in whatever I say. Was not willing to listen that certain mundane things can be learned on the spot and don't need to on the top of your head. If basics are strong, then other mundane and routine things can be learned in few hours.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in March 2015.
Applied online in February and got a call in mid-March to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview, they narrowed down to 3 second-round on-site interviews done the next week with three senior project managers and the hiring manager. I thought it went really well, and they were all super nice and welcoming people. It wasn't a really hard interview, mostly behavioral stuff and going over my resume, pretty laid back.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Amgen in February 2015.
After online application, an HR representative will email applicant to set up interview with hiring manager. Hiring manager sets up telephone call and discusses position and applicant's experience. Hiring manager mainly asked about my past experiences based on my CV (e.g., previous research studies). A week after the interview, I was called by the hiring manager with an offer. Formal offer subsequently sent by HR via email.

I applied online. The process took 7+ months. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in March 2014.
I submitted an application sometime in August 2013, and was caught by surprise when I got a call in February 2014 asking if I was still interested in the position. I said yes, and from there the communication was very timely. I was sent an e-mail to set up interview times, and the recruiter was very accommodating with the schedule. They sent maps and detailed information, and I went in for the interview. I met with the whole team, including a conference call attendee from another office. Everybody was really nice and positive. They asked relevant questions and didn't hold back from asking some challenging ones, but they also didn't ask pointlessly tricky or confrontational questions. I felt like I was being honestly evaluated for my fit with the team and my knowledge of the work.

I was given a call with an offer. It seemed good so I accepted. I had read on Glassdoor previously that they don't negotiate so I didn't try.

After the interview, i was very satisfied with the way it went. I asked the interviewers a couple of questions about the company and what type of work is available that is relevant to my degree.

Considered the birthplace of civilization based on the large numbers of human-like fossils found there, some dating 3.5 million years, Africa is a fascinating continent. Among many impressive geographical features, two stand out – the Nile River System and the Sahara Desert. The Nile is a north flowing river considered the world's longest (6,650 km or 4,130 miles). Its major tributaries are the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The Nile ends in a large delta that flows into the Mediterranean sea.
The world's hottest desert, the Sahara is the largest desert after Antarctica and the Arctic. Occupying almost one-third of the continent, the Sahara is almost as large as China (9,065,000 sq. km or 3,500,000 sq. miles). It ranges in elevation from 100 ft. below sea level, to peaks in the Ahaggar and the Tibesti Mountains, that exceed 3,350m or 11,000 ft. Regional deserts include the Libyan, Nubian and the Western desert of Egypt, just to the west of the Nile. The Sahara is almost completely without rainfall. A few underground rivers flowing from the Atlas Mountains contribute to irrigate isolated oases. The waters of the Nile help to fertilize small parts of the landscape to the east.
At 30.4 million of square kilometers (11,737,505 square miles), Africa is huge, yet on a world map, it would seem that it is not larger than Greenland (836,300 sq. miles or 2,166,007 sq. kilometers). Actually, Greenland would fit into the map of Africa multiple times. In fact, Africa is large enough to fit China, India, the contiguous U.S. and most of Europe, as you can see is the map to the left created by Scientific American to show how large the continent really is. It turns out that on a computer screen, continents and countries below the Equator appear smaller than they are, while the opposite is true of those above the Equator. This is because, to display a spherical surface on a computer screen, it has to be deformed. The map on the right shows the proper size ratio of Africa to Greenland, which is 14:1.
Africa is the world's second-largest continent, with Asia being the largest and, with a population of 1,216,130,000 (in 2016), Africa is also second most populous continent after Asia.
With 1500 – 2000 languages, Africa is rich in linguistic diversity. Of the ten most spoken languages in Africa, English is the first. It is the primary language of Botswana, Cameroon, It has official status in South Africa, along with 10 other languages.
Arabic – with approximately 100 million speakers is the second. It is the official language of Algeria, Mauritania, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt and the co-official language of Morocco, Eritrea, Somalia, Chad, Sudan, Djibouti and Western Sahara. Arabic is the most widespread official language in the African continent.
Swahili (or Kiswahili) – with more than 100 million speakers is the third. A Bantu language and the mother tongue of the Swahili people, it is the official language of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Many communities in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo speak Swahili.
French is fourth. As the map below shows, France had many colonies in Africa and thus more than 90 million people in Africa speak French. In nations like Morocco, Algeria, Senegal and Rwanda, French is used commonly in society.
Hausa – with more than 50 million speakers in Western, Northern and Central Africa is fifth. Belonging to the West Chadic languages subgroup of the Chadic languages group, Hausa is part of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It has between 23 and 25 consonant phonemes.
Oromo is sixth. Spoken by people in the Horn of Africa, Oromo is a Cushitic language. It is not the official language of any particular nation, but it is spoken by 30 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt and Kenya.
Yoruba is seventh, with more than 30 million speakers. A varying tonal language written in mostly Latin characters, Yoruba is widely used in Togo and Benin.
Igbo – with 24 million speakers and 20 dialects is eighth. This tonal language written in Latin characters is the native language of the Igbo people.
Amharic – the second most spoken Semitic language in the world after Arabic is ninth. It is the official working language of Ethiopia and of 2.7 million emigrants. More than 18.7 million people in Africa speak Amharic.
Zulu – with more than 10 million speakers is tenth. It is spoken in the Eastern South Africa and widely used in South African media. Ethnologue ranks Zulu the second most spoken Bantu language after Shoma. It is written in Latin letters and characterized by its tongue clicks.
The countries and languages of Africa
There are 54 countries in the continent of Africa: Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Nigerians from these states are the first set of beneficiaries in a pilot project that spans nine states in the first instance. It will eventually cover all the 36 states, targeting a total of one million people.
In a statement released, by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Vice president Yemi Osinbajo, the government stated that the payment was effected through the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT, of the government's Social Investment Programmes, SIP.
According to the statement, one million Nigerians would receive N5,000 monthly payments under the CCT as a form of social safety net for the poorest and most vulnerable as budgeted for in the 2016 Budget.
Mr. Akande added that many of the beneficiaries have already reported receiving their first payments in the first batch that commenced last week.
"In the first batch that commenced last week, nine states would be covered, and many of the beneficiaries have already reported receiving their first payments by Friday last week, December 30, 2016.
"Funds for the commencement of the payments in four states were released last week to the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) – the platform that hosts and validates payments for all government's social intervention programmes. Funds for another set of five states to complete the first batch of nine states would follow soon."
The statement listed Borno, Kwara, Bauchi, Cross Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti states as states in the first batch to commence the CCT statement. It however said that the states were selected because they had a social register that identified the vulnerable and poorest Nigerians.
"Though the sequence for the payment of the money would be operationally managed by NIBSS, beneficiaries in Borno, Kwara and Bauchi States have started receiving the money. The other states in the first batch to commence the CCT payments are Cross Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun & Ekiti States," Mr. Akande said.

So I'm going to a masquerade party tomorrow, bought a white mask with silver embellishments.
I ordered these two dresses online from asos but I don't know which one would be more suitable.. Can I have your opinions?
Sorry about the messy room in the background)
Most Helpful Guy
Hey, definitely white, you have a fantastic figure and the white really shows it off, whereas the black pretty much hides it. The white will also work much better with the rest of your costume. The black dress does look good too and for a different occasion would be a great choice, but for your party I'd definitely go white. You'll look awesome, have a great time! :)10|10|0
Yeah I think I'll go with white. Thank you!!
Good choice! ;) enjoy!
