Find out more about Lucy Walsh, daughter of Eagles' Joe Walsh who is launching her own career, on our exclusive interview.
She has watched her father Joe Walsh making fame and enjoying playing music through his band Eagles since she was a kid. This is exactly why Lucy Walsh is determined to start a music career of her own. She is now set on the track and will, on October 23, release a debut album called 'Lost in the Lights'.
The singer who played keyboard and provided backing vocals in Ashlee Simpson's 2005 'Autobiography Tour', is not afraid to walk on a different sound for her first record. In fact, she is proud to employ '80s sound to top her modern pop vocal.
Revealing it all to AceShowbiz, Lucy described how her father emphasized on being independent, she getting signed by Island, Cyndi Lauper playing a huge part in her life and Ashlee Simpson and her "will always have each others' backs".
Check out our revealing interview with the 'So Uncool' singer below!
ASB: Tell us how you end up choosing music as a career. Have you always wanted to become a singer?
Lucy: I've been immersed in the performing arts since I was a really young kid...its just the way I came into this world. Music is the love of my life, and its wonderful to make it my paying job.
ASB: How exactly has it affected you musically having a father as famous as Joe Walsh?
Lucy: Having a famous dad is fun, I grew up going on tour with him and I look up to him immensely as a musician. He always told me if I wanted to be in showbiz, he wasn't going to pull any strings to get me a record deal...and I appreciate that because I've done the work myself.
ASB: How do you end up getting signed under Island/Def Jam?
Lucy: I flew to NYC with a guitarist and sang some songs for LA Reid and Rob Stevenson at Island Def Jam. Halfway through the meeting I sat at the piano and sang a song I had just written...and they offered me a deal then and there. I freaked out and jumped around the room and then hugged everyone.
ASB: You're on the verge of releasing a debut album. What do you hope or expect to come out from this album?
Lucy: My first record 'Lost in the Lights' is out soon...and I'm insanely proud of it. It is an album people will love for all time.
ASB: Why 'Lost in the Lights'? Does the title significantly project any meaning to you?
Lucy: The record title 'Lost in the Lights' is about diving into life and not being afraid to experience absolutely everything...the good and the bad. 'Lost in the Lights' is a song I wrote for the record, and I then turned it into the title.
ASB: Your first single 'So Uncool' has been on the radio for sometime. How did you feel the first time you hear it?
Lucy: My single 'So Uncool' is on the radio across the US ...AWESOME! When I first heard it, I was driving with some friends and label people in Ohio . We blasted the volume, got out of the car, and danced in a cornfield.
ASB: Of all the tracks in 'Lost in the Light' which one has a special meaning to you and why?
Lucy: Every song on 'Lost in the Lights' is fantastically special, there is not one song on the record I'm not crazy about. I will say the title track 'Lost in the Lights' is most dear to me.
ASB: We've become acknowledged that you're a fan of Cyndi Lauper.
Lucy: I am a life-long Cyndi Lauper fan. I remember hearing her music when I was very young, and being emotionally overwhelmed. Its awesome to know I can pass that onto other people through my own music.
ASB: What kind of fans do you expect to enjoy your music?
Lucy: Everyone who is looking to drop their pretense and lose themselves in kickass music and emotion will adore my record. Its a party and absolutely everyone is invited.
ASB: Do your relate personal issues in your songs?
Lucy: My music definitely is born from personal issues. As a musician, I take all kinds of situations and turn them into songs. I write songs about self-experience, experience of others, books I read, dreams I have...I keep a journal with me at all times and my creativity never stops.
ASB: In your song 'Crash' you're talking about having fun and getting 'rowdy'. Are you actually a party animal?
Lucy: Ah yes, 'Crash' is a party song! And dare I say ladies and gents...I am a party animal.
ASB: You have become acquainted to Ashlee Simpson. How are the two of you getting along?
Lucy: Playing with Ashlee was a blast...its great being on tour with good friends...waking up in a new city everyday and playing for excited fans. Ashlee and I will always have each others' backs.
ASB: Any collaboration that you wish one day? With Cyndi Lauper maybe?
Lucy: I have my wishlist of future collaborations...my top two are Tom Delonge (Blink-182/Angels and Airwaves) and Andrew W.K.
ASB: Last but not least, would you share wise words to AceShowbiz readers?
Lucy: Wise words for my adoring fans...hold on, it's coming to me...ah yes: 'don't litter your mind with reality tv shows'

Salsa Mexicana (Fresh Tomato and Chiles)
Recipe by ChipotleChick
From Rick Bayless, 'Authentic Mexican.' If you're looking for an authentic Mexican salsa, this is it! It's so simple too! I only use one onion and two jalapenos when I make it, but I decided I'd post the original recipe instead of altering it. The way I make it produces a medium heat. I'd imagine making it his way would produce a hot salsa. I really like it with the lime juice. I haven't made it with the vinegar yet.
Top Review by Judikins
WOW!! What a fresh, simple, delicious treat! Upon your recommendation I made it with 2 jalapenos and 1 medium white onion, and a full tsp. of minced garlic cloves. Eighteen sprigs of cilantro to me was the tops of the single sprigs without the bottom stem (right?). The food processor made this soooo easy. After 45 minutes in the frig, I had to try it and was delighted. If you're not into too much heat, I recommend you follow the suggested 2 jalapenos, but to me, it was a little weak. Next time I make it, and that definitely will happen, I'll try 3 jalapenos and a little "sweet" by adding a half mango. This is wonderful as is, but I like to play around with recipes. Thumbs up on this one! P.S. DH said, "It's the best salsa I've ever eaten", and believe me, he's a hard critic and RARELY passes out complements!!

Pauline van Dongen
The Dutch designer blazing the wearable technology path
Pauline van Dongen
The Dutch designer blazing the wearable technology path
Wearable technology is so more than just watches and wristbands—and Pauline van Dongen is seeing to that. In fact, the Dutch designer goes so far as employing photovoltaic sciences and solar energy in the materials of her future-forward clothing, all the while keeping her silhouettes fashion-driven. On the surface, van Dongen's designs are beautiful and stylish. Within the attire is a hub of integration. All her ranges include solar cells that absorb enough energy (and feed it to a standard plug) that they can charge mobile devices. If the sun's energy isn't a selling point, her eye for couture is. It's this balance that defines her continued exploration into the marriage of fashion and technology.
"My work is a result of a hybridization or amalgamation of fashion with various other (scientific) disciplines," van Dongen shares with CH. "I adopt new technologies in my work to create new values and meaning for fashion. Not only functionally, but also in the many ways in which we express ourselves through our clothes as well as the way in which they interact with our bodies…keeping us warm but also generating energy, changing shape, supporting our activities, etc. The garments we wear are thus becoming very intimate interfaces that allow us to interact with the world in unique and sometimes unforeseen ways."
Van Dongen notes that, to her, technology is not a mere tool, but rather one of aesthetics. Materiality enhances expression. "There's a strong focus on materiality in my work, since I believe the future of fashion lies in its premise to be dynamic and changing. The fact that we can now program it pixel by pixel, allows us to design new types of behavior and create materials that can actively play on the body." This is beyond sourcing fabrics—this is the invention of new ones.
As for inspiration, van Dongen shares, "I continuously draw upon the interaction between humans and their surroundings. I'm fascinated by concepts of change, movement, energy and perception; since they are closely related to the way we experience the world around us." On this quest, and acknowledging the intimacy of clothing, van Dongen hopes to turn technology into something more personal, and even more intuitive. "The most important thing for me is to frequently engage in dialogues with people from various disciplines that don't directly relate to fashion. It's so inspiring to hear their stories and it always challenges new ways of thinking," she says. The rest of her work balances research, fairs and conferences and her own personal understanding of the potential of fashion. Here, experimentation is key and the result is now years of future-forward collections that lay the groundwork for van Dongen's illustrious work to come, rewriting the relationship of technology and fashion.

|Racine County Clerk, Wendy Christensen
Do you know why civil "rights" are never supposed to be taken to a vote?
Because people change their feeble, stupid minds.
Thinkers like Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and even the queen of the Libertarian movement, Ayn Rand, spoke clearly on how the rights of the minority should not be decided by the majority.
Because the majority often act like assholes in the worst sense of mob rule imaginable.
In 2006, a majority of people in Wisconsin believed that marriage should be defined as a union of one man and one woman. Period. And so Wisconsin changed its constitution to say so.
Then, time passed. People discovered they knew some gay people - maybe they were the parents or children of gay people. The gay people they knew were kind of nice. They took care of their yards, had kids, shopped in their businesses. They had partners and just wanted to be like everyone else. They were like everyone else - except because we changed our state constitution, they couldn't get married.
The majority learned these people, who they lived by, worked with, or were in their own families couldn't make decisions for each other if one became ill. They couldn't get tax breaks for their children like everyone else and the custody rights of their children was unclear - making everyone uncomfortable. They couldn't share Social Security benefits like other married people, no matter how many years they had been together.
Worse, Wisconsin said if you were gay and went to another state to get married - they could put you in jail and impose a great big fine on you.
So, between 2006 and 2014, people in Wisconsin changed their mind about gay marriage. The majority now thought it wasn't such a big deal anymore. The majority of people in Wisconsin thought gay couples should be able to get married - just 8 years later.
Ah ha! But Wisconsin now has a Constitution that forbids it because jerks like Julie Appling and Wisconsin Family Action put a marriage equality ban on the ballot - which Republicans loved because it turned out all those gay hating folks to the polls to vote on it. So instead of having a State Constitution to expand clarify citizens rights, they used it as political trick to restrict a minorities (who they didn't like - and don't vote for them) civil rights.
State by state, marriage bans were overturned and people realized the world wasn't going to end if those two nice men down the street got married. But it wasn't just because people got used to the idea - it was because it was patently unconstitutional, unfair and wrong. So, even people who didn't like the idea of gay marriage realized that gay people had rights too.
Last Friday, Federal Justice, Barbara Crabb, found the Wisconsin ban on same sex marriage totally unconstitutional. BOOM. Even though the ruling came around 4pm - people in Milwaukee and Dane County were getting married by 5pm - and then through the weekend.
On Monday morning, just a couple of counties were issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. By the late afternoon, over 40 counties were issuing them.
As of Tuesday night 49 counties and this morning at least 50 with more sure to follow through the day. Hundreds of couples have gotten married - but not one of them is in Racine County.
Racine County Clerk, Wendy Christensen, is not issuing any marriage licenses to gay couples.
According to people who occupied the clerk's office trying to get a license, Christensen first claimed they didn't know how to fill out the license paperwork since it lists a bride and groom. Kenosha County let couples decide. Then, she said she needed to speak with the Racine County Corporation Council - the lawyers who represent the county who said she needed direction from the Division of Vital Records. Vital Records said it was up to her. Then she said she needed to wait for the decision on the stay requested by AG JB Van Hollen. Crabb denied his request for a stay. Lastly, she said there were too many decisions in process, so she would wait to see what happened in court.
As if Judge Crabb's clear declaration in her court brief that the ban was unconstitutional wasn't enough for her - apparently, Christensen gets to pick and chose what court decisions she wants to follow or ignore.
Is Christensen a big gay hater? The Siren doesn't know how the Republican clerk feels about it. With Waukesha County being one of the early offices to start issuing licenses - partisan politics isn't the only factor at work here.
Christensen is being advised by attorneys for the county and the County Executive, Jim Ladwig - who is climbing the Republican ladder. Being a team player for the GOP establishment (think Vos, Van Hollen and Walker -who really doesn't want to talk about this) may be part of the picture. They say the people of Wisconsin decided this in 2006 - as if the obvious shift in opinion hasn't taken place.
The Racine County Council is a non-elected job, appointed by the County Executive and for the time being Ladwig and Christensen are hiding behind their advice, pretending they have no power.
Too bad, because a rather large protest is being planned for by the LGBT community in Racine on Friday at 11am at the Courthouse, 730 Wisconsin Ave. If you live nearby or have friends in the area - send them down. If not, keep calling the clerk's office and ask Wendy Christensen to start issuing licenses to gay couples. The phone number is 262/636-3132 - press 0 to skip the messages.

Varndell to take his chance
Tom Varndell is determined not to mess up his second chance with England after he was recalled to face New Zealand in the second Test.
Last Updated: 20/06/08 3:03pm
Tom Varndell is determined not to mess up his second chance with England after the Leicester wing was recalled to face New Zealand in the second Test.
It has been two years since Varndell last appeared for England - and it has been a long road back since he was handed out a brutal lesson by Australia winger Lote Tuqiri in the disastrous tour in 2006.
To rub salt into Varndell's wounds, he found himself farmed out on loan to National One side Bedford six weeks after his return from international duty.
Now, having re-established himself as one of the Premiership's deadliest finishers, Varndell wants to exorcise the ghosts of 2006.
"Things did happen very quickly for me and a lot of hot air was blown up my a***. At 19, I think it went to my head a bit. I hit the ground with a thump in Australia," Varndell said.
"Tuqiri scalded me. It wasn't very pleasant. But the lowest point was being loaned out to a division one club just a month and a half after an England tour.
"It was pretty embarrassing. I was there for a couple of weeks and then got injured. My last game for Bedford was Waterloo away. It was absolutely brutal. I don't think there were even 300 people there.
"Leicester thought I needed a kick up the backside and that is what I got.
"I had been put on the international stage and I didn't perform. With all the other wingers coming through I did think my chance had come and gone.
"But I am lucky enough to get the opportunity again and it is not an opportunity I am going to waste.
"I wouldn't say it that learning curve was enjoyable but it was an experience I had to go through."
Having been bullied and bruised by Tuqiri on his last appearance, Varndell will be handed a tougher test against All Blacks powerhouse Sitiveni Sivivatu, who has an enviable record of 23 tries in 23 Tests.
But Varndell is ready to silence Sivivatu and the critics in Christchurch.
"He is a good player! Those stats speak for themselves. He is a fantastic finisher," Varndell said.
"They have some fantastic backs and it will be a massive challenge - but I have had two years out of the England team and I want to go and play the best I can possibly play.
"They have been slating us all week in the press and we have a point to prove."

- For the dwarf planet of the same name, see Eris (planet).
|Molly Hagan
|Dominion agent
|Eris using her telekinesis
Eris was a Vorta in service to the Dominion.
Eris was one of the few Vorta to possess psionic powers. She was trained to be a field agent and had extensive training, including combat training with the use of energy pistols and the rhutala fighting style. Her primary role was to make first contact with species and governments that had not yet heard of the Dominion (or more specifically, the connection between the Vorta and the Dominion). However, her job made her extremely paranoid and worrisome, though this persona was only visible in private. She was also lovers with Sadok'toran Liska. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon, The Renewal Offensive)
In 2370, Eris attempted to infiltrate Deep Space 9 by pretending to be fleeing from the Jem'Hadar. She claimed to be from the planet Kurill Prime, which had recently been conquered by the Dominion. Her ruse was discovered after she had escaped with Benjamin Sisko, Quark and the crew of Deep Space 9 back to the Alpha Quadrant. When they attempted to apprehend her she was transported away. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
Eris eventually made it back to the Dominion and provided a brief but critical report. She returned to the Alpha Quadrant in 2373 with the first Dominion force to head for Cardassia. She was later stationed on Betazed, using her telekinesis to find Betazoid rebels. While visiting Liska at her headquarters on New Xindus, the Xindi launched a massive attack on Cardassian bases. (The Renewal Offensive)
Both Liska and Eris despised Weyoun and after the death of Weyoun 5, they saw it as a sign of more competent Dominion leadership. After obtaining of vial of semen from the Rondac Cloning Center, Eris became pregnant with what they expected to be the first Vorta child born into the Alpha Quadrant. She was relieved of her duties and moved in to Liska's quarters on New Xindus, where she happily awaited the final Dominion victory so they could raise the child in peace.

How are those new year fitness goals going?
I know, I feel your pain.
But I have a secret that is helping me to keep my energy up every day- Green Coffee!
I've been using Natural Factors Green Bean Coffee Extract and it has been a HUGE help in keeping my energy level up, helping my metabolism to keep burning like I was in my 20s, and helping me to maintain, and keep loosing weight (which is not easy with Mardi Gras season upon us!):
Natural Factors Green Coffee Bean Extract supports healthy weight loss and acts as a fat burner. Made from scientifically proven Svetol Green Coffee Bean Extract, it helps promote healthy weight loss by improving glucose metabolism and inhibiting the accumulation of fat. It's vegetarian capsules, contains less than 2% caffeine, so it's virtually stimulant free.
I know you just said, what is Svetol? It's the most important thing to help your body!
Svetol is the only plant extract of decaffeinated green coffee that helps you simultaneously lose weight and improve your body's form. Obtained from unroasted Robusta variety of coffee beans, Svetol has a unique patented composition, and has been tested scientifically to work, as it says it does! Svetol's composition has a naturally concentrated amount of chlorogenic acids, which are proven to have anti-oxidant powers! This concentration of anti-oxidant acids is an average of two times that of the tea or chocolate drink! All from one little capsule per day!
But chlorogenic acids are only part of the greatness of Svetol! It also contains caffeic acid, well known for its anti-oxidant power. Studies by Naturex show that caffeic acid possesses a strong anti-oxidant power, notably limiting the oxidation of lipids in the liver, which means it helps to inhibit specific enzymes, to shut down the glucose pathway, causing the body to burn fat and use it as energy. AHA- it truly IS a fat burner!
I know you're thinking, but if it has 3 times the antioxodants of coffee, then that means three times the caffeine! NOPE! Svetol's unique composition guarantees the absence of almost all Caffeine (it has less than 2%), Cafestol and Kahweol. All the things that make you jittery and keep you up all night!
What this comes down to is that Svetol actually helps the body to burn it's own fat, while providing healthy anti-oxidants to help it's internal process working at high efficiency! In fact, in many scientific studies, people using a Green Bean Coffee Extract product, made with Svetol, lost 10 pounds in 2 months, without changing their diet or eating habits!
Now you know you perked up at that comment, didn't you?
Yup with swimsuit season around the corner, this Green Bean Coffee Extract can get you swim suit ready easily! And all you have to do is to take 1 capsule each day, 30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water. How simple is that? These capsules go down quite easily, with no icky after taste!
I have been quite impressed with how well this Natural products Green Bean Coffee Extract has helped me to stay with my weight loss goals! Give it a try, and it will help you too!
You can get a $2 coupon off any Natural Factors product too! Click their store finder, to find it in your area!
One lucky BTHM reader will get to try out this great product for themself, with their own bottle!

text: Politics 10 January 2000 Don't be fooled by debt relief: it's just another way of reshaping the third world to the demands of capital Sign up for our weekly email * The recent announcement by the British government that it is to "cancel third world debt" was a propaganda triumph. What a joy, sang the Guardian. Debt forgiveness, said Bob Geldof, was an "instinct" that was "deeply rooted" in Tony Blair's background. A code word in Gordon Brown's statement ought to have been enough to alert even the gullible. Brown said that poor countries would have their debt forgiven if they used the relief "productively". Later, he wrote, "both the IMF and the World Bank will show how together macro-economic, structural reform and anti-poverty programmes can bring less poverty and more growth". Not a single example exists where "macro- economic, structural reform" - he means laissez-faire capitalism imposed by the IMF and World Bank - has alleviated mass poverty. Throughout the developing world, especially Africa, "structural adjustment programmes" have destroyed jobs and public services, while shaping local economies to the demand of transnational capital. In the IMF's most "successful" countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 13 children die every minute from the likes of diarrhoea and malnutrition. Far from changing this, Brown's "initiative" will reinforce it. To qualify, those countries that have been bled by British banks for 20 years will have to adhere to the "conditionality" of the World Bank's "Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility", which allows limited relief to highly visible projects in countries that have been awarded World Bank/ IMF brownie points for privatising and slashing jobs and services. The British Treasury will now have a fine excuse for not increasing Britain's scandalously mean aid programme. There is a related hidden agenda here. This is the emergence, in another guise, of the discredited Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI). Had it not been for an international campaign against MAI, the "Paris club" of rich governments, notably the Blair regime, would have signed away, in effect, the sovereignty and independence of developing countries to transnational capital; for the power to override national environmental and employment laws was at the core of MAI. The campaign against it forced governments, notably the French, to break ranks. MAI died. Or so it seemed. Those who follow the chameleon enthusiasms of Clare Short, Blair's Secretary of State for International Development and defender of globalisation and illegal bombing, will note her latest: "untying" British aid from trade deals with British companies. Her stated reasons seem so sensible. Why should poor countries, she says, be restricted to British commercial contracts? Surely that is "unfair"? What she omits to say is that the Blair government is at the forefront of "liberalising" the entire procurement and contracting system in the third world: booty worth three trillion dollars, more than international trade. This "untying" will allow British and other rich-world transnational corporations eventually to secure contracts in domestic markets previously barred to them. By comparison, the 14 per cent of the British aid budget presently exploited by British companies is chicken feed. This was not debated at Seattle, and there is the danger of a behind-closed-doors fait accompli. In Britain, one of the obstacles to mounting an opposition to this is the compliance of leading voluntary agencies, or non-government organisations. The "euphoria" of certain NGOs following Gordon Brown's "debt relief" announcement comes after a long seduction. NGOs represent the "civil society" courted by new Labour. Having become dependent on government funding and gone some of the way with the fakery of "productivity" linked to poverty relief, and having in recent years "restructured" their organisations right down to the use of claptrap market jargon, the more ambitious in the NGOs are in danger of slipping into bed with new Labour, the government of business. A few, such as Action Aid, remain unseduced, and there are those who clearly have serious doubts: witness the report by Louise Jury and Matthew Lockwood, Millennium Lottery: who lives, who dies in an age of third world debt? published last month by Christian Aid. When Peter Mandelson and his co-author Roger Liddle outlined in their book one of the blueprints for new Labour, they identified Britain's "economic strengths" as the transnational corporations, the "aerospace" industry (arms) and the "pre- eminence of the City of London". The evidence is now irrefutable; new Labour is a major facilitator of capital and of the sinister changes planned for the world's economy as part of globalisation. On the day Gordon Brown announced his "debt relief", this overshadowed the news that the Commons International Development Committee had discovered that a quarter of all export credit guarantees to poor countries were for the sale of weapons. Five days later, at the climax of the Hamilton and Fayed libel circus, the Trade Secretary, Stephen Byers, approved export credit guarantees worth £200 million to finance the huge Ilisu dam in Turkey that will assist in ethnically cleansing thousands of Kurds from their cultural heartland. No one wants it, apart from the repressive regime in Turkey, an arms client of the Blair government, and the British construction firm, Balfour Beatty, which stands to make a fortune. Does all this sound familiar? Recognise the name of the company from the Pergau dam scandal in Malaysia, the epitome of Tory corruption? Little has changed; and we ought not to be fooled a second time. John Pilger, renowned investigative journalist and documentary film-maker, is one of only two to have twice won British journalism's top award; his documentaries have won academy awards in both the UK and the US.

The pH of water indicates whether it is basic (pH above 7), acidic (pH below 7) or neutral (pH equal to 7). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8 for swimming pools, with 7.6 being ideal (see References 2). If the pH is below 7.2, then a basic compound such as sodium carbonate (also known as soda ash or washing soda) must be added until the pH is brought to an acceptable level.
Things You'll Need
- Sodium carbonate
- Scale or balance (grams or ounces)
- Large bucket
- Pool pH test kit
- Paint stirrer or other disposable stirring device
Check the pool's pH with the pH test kit following the kit manufacturer's instructions. If the pH is 7.2 or higher, no further action is recommended.
Calculate the volume of the pool if it is not already known. The Health Department of Northwest Michigan offers guidance on performing this calculation (see Reference 3).
Measure the required amount of sodium carbonate. The sodium carbonate manufacturer may have supplied a scoop marked with graduations indicating ounces. If not, then the sodium carbonate must be weighed on a scale or balance. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Health recommends a dosage of 1.25 oz. (35.4 grams) for every 1,000 gallons of pool capacity to raise the pH 0.5 units (see References 4).
Add the measured amount of sodium carbonate to a bucket and fill about two-thirds full with water. Stir the mixture with a paint stirrer or other disposable stirrer until most of the sodium carbonate has dissolved, then pour the sodium carbonate solution into the deep end of the pool, as far away from the side as possible.
Wait at least 3 hours, then re-test the pool's pH. Repeat the treatment as necessary.

Burnt Orange Buttercream Icing Like The Cleveland Browns Team Color?
Decorating By honeybee22 Updated 11 Oct 2013 , 5:14am by honeybee22
I'm going to be using Wilton's pre-made buttercream icing and need the color to be the burnt orange color like that of the Cleveland Browns. I'm also going to be using the Wilton gel food colorings.
Here's a link to a cake on here that shows the color I'm trying to get:
What colors should I use? Any tips?
You'll probably just have to mix some colors. Orange and a little brown will probably get you to that color, but you will want to do a test batch first. Add the brown a little at a time until you get the right color.
This is from the Wilton website on coloring. It's the color combination for rust which is similar to burnt orange.
RUST Orange, Red Red and Brown
Thank you so much for the link. Good to know rust is similar in color. I went and picked up orange and brown :) Thanks again!
I think you will be fine with the orange and brown. Just take a little buttercream and put it in a separate bowl so you can do a color test before coloring all of it. You don't want to ruin a whole batch of buttercream!
Thank you, I will for sure do a test run :)

Eleven-year-old Deepika Pandey succumbed to haemorrhagic dengue at a private hospital on Sunday. Her death takes the toll from the disease to seven in the city. The condition of four other children is said to be critical.
In 1990, 12 persons had died and over 60 were admitted to hospitals with haemorrhagic dengue. But the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC) has done little to destroy the breeding grounds of the dengue-causing Ades mosquito, and fears are that the toll this time may be much higher.
Subodh De, member of the mayoral council overseeing health, ascribed the dengue outbreak, mainly in south Calcutta, to the spawning of mosquitoes in scores of big and small housing projects and reservoirs constructed for these, excavation of roads, accumulated garbage and rooftops where water is allowed to collect.
Health experts have pinpointed three reasons for the dengue outbreak in south Calcutta pockets like Lake Gardens, Golf Green, Jadavpur, Bijoygarh, Dhakuria and Santoshpur:
4Several uncovered reservoirs at the sites of buildings under construction
4No effort on the part of local representatives of the civic body to remove accumulated water
4Indiscriminate digging at construction sites, causing water accumulation.
Even after six persons have died of dengue in the past three days, civic health officers have not found time to visit the affected areas.
To make matters worse, CMC officers admitted that neither was any contingency plan ready to counter dengue, nor did any infrastructure exist in terms of trained manpower or equipment to carry out elaborate medical tests.
'Since the CMC does not have any infrastructure, we have decided to appeal to all NGOs to come forward and help us destroy the breeding grounds of the Ades mosquito,' said , mayoral council member De.
A tour of the affected areas by Metro on Sunday revealed that no effort had been made to remove stagnated rainwater puddles from houses under construction or roads with potholes, where the Ades mosquito is born.
Air coolers, flower vases and water tanks and reservoirs are the real danger zones. A physician in Lake Gardens said he was receiving a large number patients with high fever. 'But all of them are not suffering from dengue. Only proper serological tests can confirm that one is suffering from dengue,' he said.
'There has been no awareness campaign by the CMC in our area,' said Nishith Sarkar, president, Lake Gardens People's Association. 'For the past six months, no CMC team has sprayed mosquito repellents in the area,' he complained.
Left with no alternative, local councillors are setting up medical camps on their own (photograph in graphic by Amit Datta).

Well, I thought about that, but not quite in the same way, I thought about taking it down to the Apache native socket level, but decided TC is a much better solution. Harbor doesnt use RMI, and it doesnt use SOAP, all the protocols for Harbor, the required serialization, the Java reflection, everything was re-done. Crazy Huh ;) I wanted a pure fast binary HTTP based protocol, and there wasnt a complete protocol out there that could do what I needed. RMI I felt is a little too primative for what I needed, but as you know, the real problem is that its not HTTP driven, and as soon as firewalls come into play, guess what, you probably have to use tomcat and a servlet to tunnel through the firewall, nah! its old technology, ok for EJB servers ;) Then there is the whole concept of registries, which RMI and just about every other SUN service specification, EJB, SOAP, all have some place the thing has to be registered. In this context I felt that it was also superfluous. Harbor addresses in the same way a web site does. My application is at http://harbor etc, which is really nice and easy for users to understand. An EJB client is really a completely separate thing to the EJB server implementation and needs a discovery mechanism. Harbor houses full applications, so the client side "knows" about its server side, its just very different. In coding terms it comes down to, I want to talk to that Harbor I want to run that thing Go! It literally comes down to that code... have a look at the examples on the site. Probably the easiest "RMI" available. So, to answer your question, the protocol is especially made to be as easy to set up and run as a web site, and runs on port 80, just like a web site does, it makes it very easy... you never going to see a user asking how to get the "RMI" working through their firewall etc. So to answer your question, Tomcat is essentially a nifty container with great HTTP communications, thats what this technology needs, why re-invent a terrific wheel. The rest is perspective.... if one looks at TC as "nifty container with great communications", why does an application server do its own thing, and incorporate TC as an add on.... the reason I think is because they do exactly that, use "old" RMI, and it sees web technology as an addon. I decided that there is no better communication protocol than the web based ones (at binary level), why mess with that, make the application server use it. As for SOAP, well any protocol with all that machinery is bound to be slow and pathetic, it links to non java products, ok thats nice. Its just philosophy... do you think an servlet container should be a layer ontop of an application server, or the other way around (this makes more sense to me). As for not having a servlet container at all, I wonder how other application servers are doing their HTML admin consoles... When I'm working on a site and suddenly realise that an application server may come in handy, its really nice not even having to consider moving away from TC, I just keep going... Hope that answers the question.... Harbor is new, need to give us a little time to start bench marking etc, but I have a feeling when its delivering full accounting programs and powerful games to users on the web.... it wont be seen as the relic container ;)... not even sure a comparison will be possible. For example EJB has this whole concept of running local or remote, I thought about that, but it makes no sense in this container, local just means the application runs standalone, ie just run the accounting package or game on the machine.... its very different, and it is difficult to relate older technology. I dont think its possible to build Harbor using established specs... need to have a viscious imagination, and be brave enough to say, that spec sucks ;) Its working great for us, but only time will tell if my imagination is actually dangerous ;) > Leon > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com > For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

There are so many reasons for not having a heap of friends.. eg. there are those who don't wish to succumb to peer pressure and end up on drugs or with teenage pregnancies or what not in that goes around in their neighborhood. There are those who are focused on their careers or a better future or wish to be more productive and just can't seem to find the right group of motivated people. The list goes on and on..
So many times I've heard girls talking bad about their date to their girlfriends because of their date's lack of popularity e. g. "the guy I went out on a date with doesn't even have any friends, what a loser".. or at a nightclub "there's a creepy guy who's standing all by himself there"..
Most Helpful Girl
I don't just a guy in a negative way because he doesn't have many friends and prefers to be alone. People can't judge your choices when they don't know your reasons. I love spending time on my own , I enjoy my own company. I'm very selective who I associate with. I'd rather be on my own than surround myself with people who have a negative affect on me.10|10|0
