REALITY TV RETURNS (continued): • A reporter from Blogcritics magazine recently went behind the scenes during a taping of So You Think You Can Dance, hoping to find some clever editing and lots of retakes and "do-overs." His experience left him in awe of the contestants, for it turned out that what we see on TV is what is happening onstage. Every routine was performed only once, and the only re-takes involved were when host Cat Deeley flubbed her lines. • Remember 19-year-old Adrianna, who'd known her fiancé Jason for one whole month before getting married on Bridezillas? Sadly, but not surprisingly, the couple divorced less than a year after their fairy tale wedding. • Some reality shows are victims of their own popularity. Busted on the Job was originally a one-off special compiled from surveillance tapes filmed at various locations over the past few years. The show turned out to be a ratings blockbuster, however, and the network wanted more. The production company searched the vaults and came up with enough footage for a second special, but by the time Busted on the Job III rolled around, the producers had been forced to appeal to private investigators for any interesting surveillance videos they might have. Unfortunately, a few unscrupulous people decided to make a quick buck by filming and submitting fake "bad behavior on the job" scenarios. • Whatever happened to the previous winners of America's Next Top Model? As of this writing, Dani Evans and CariDee English are the only winners whose Cover Girl cosmetics contracts were renewed. Certainly the most successful alum of the bunch is Adrianne Curry, who landed photo shoots with several men's magazines and also a stint on TV's The Surreal Life. Curry also landed herself a starring gig on a new reality show. While working on The Surreal Life, she met and fell in love with former Brady Bunch kid Christopher Knight. The two got married and now co-star on the show My Fair Brady.
Dog Makes Odd Breathing Noise By Samantha Mazzotta
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: Recently, I had my 9-year-old, part-poodle/Maltese dog's teeth cleaned. The vet had to pull two teeth as well. Since this was done, "Scoobie" seems to make an odd noise as he is breathing. I feel like this is due to the tube they put down his throat as they cleaned his teeth. When I got him home, he had a hacking cough, which subsided about three days later. But the noise he makes when breathing continues. He doesn't seem to be in pain, though. I like our vet a lot and hate to question him, so hopefully you can help me out or let me know what I could ask the vet. -- Valeeta R., Montgomery, Ala. DEAR VALEETA: A good veterinarian will not mind extra questions from a pet owner, so I encourage you to contact your vet and describe Scoobie's breathing noise. In fact, you should go ahead and bring Scoobie in to have the vet check out the noise in
person so he can rule out any serious issues. Pets that are put under general anesthesia for certain procedures (such as the tooth scaling Scoobie had) can develop complications afterward ranging from stress reactions to major health emergencies. Don't be worried about bothering your vet -- your dog's health is the most important thing here. Ask lots of questions, and insist on straightforward answers from the vet -- not answers designed just to make you feel better. If afterward you feel that you didn't receive satisfactory answers, or if Scoobie doesn't improve, take your dog to another vet for a second opinion. Send your tips, questions and comments to Paws Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

REALITY TV RETURNS (continued): • Don't tell anyone, but the selection of an Iron Chef isn't quite as spontaneous as it appears on TV. Members of the studio audience have noticed that during the filming of the show's opening, when the challenger selects his competitor, only the chosen Iron Chef is actually there on the set. The other two chefs – poised on the pedestals amid clouds of smoke – are stand-ins. Watch closely next time – the man that is supposed to be Mario Batali is quite a bit heavier (and hairier) than the real thing. • When a tense scene on a reality show calls for a particular emotion and the participants don't comply, the production staff relies on "Frankenbites." That is, they view hours of tape and find another instance where the person utters the desired line of dialog. For example, if a moment on The Real World seems like it would benefit by one character declaring "I hate you," the producers might find a clip taken elsewhere during filming where the same character was telling a roommate, "How can you wake up first thing in the morning and have your hair look all perfect? I hate you!" and edit and splice it in as needed. Reality? Close, but not quite! • When Project Runway is aired, it appears as if the contestants are faced with one new design challenge per week. The reality, however, is that the entire season is filmed in one month, with a new challenge every two days. The participants are filmed from almost the moment they wake up in the morning, and the work days are often 17 hours long. They are also tailed everywhere (even to the bathroom!) by the show's production staff to make sure that they're not sneaking a peek on a laptop or making a quick cell phone call. • Winning first place on American Idol is no guarantee that you'll strike gold on the music charts. Carrie Underwood is AI's biggest success story, with more than 12 million albums sold and three Grammy awards to boot. And Fantasia Barrino has found success on Broadway in The Color Purple. But winners from other seasons have not fared as well. Both Taylor Hicks and Ruben Studdard have been dropped by their record labels. • Before you decide to accept an Extreme Makeover home, consider Eric Hebert of Idaho. His new 3,600 square foot, three bedroom house was completed in November 2006. Less than two years later, the construction worker was forced to put the house up for sale. Between working full-time and raising his late sister's two children, he didn't have time for the upkeep required on such a large dwelling. In addition, his utility bills had tripled in comparison to his previous home. • Even though the Nielsen ratings for older reality shows like Survivor have dropped recently, don't expect the reality TV fad to fade any time soon. The shows are inexpensive to produce, and they create captive audiences. Besides, there seems to be no shortage of people eager to find new ways to embarrass themselves on national television.

• It's been reported that after an earthquake in San Francisco, Barbara Boxer, the junior senator from California, made the following comment: "Those who died, their lives will never be the same again." • Most people realize that the original Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, were born in Siam (now Thailand). Many would be surprised to learn, though, that after being exhibited as a curiosity on P.T. Barnum's world tour, they became naturalized citizens of the United States, putting down roots in North Carolina in 1839, adopting "Bunker" as their last name, settling on a plantation and buying slaves. They married sisters and, between the two of them, had 22 children. It's also been reported, though not confirmed, that they dreamed the same dreams when they slept.
• Yes, Barbie has a last name. It's Roberts. • Director Wes Craven reportedly named the character Freddy Krueger, from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" horror films, after a kid who had bullied him in school. • Next time you feel a yawn coming on, you might want to be careful: Those who study such things say that if your yawn is too wide, you could break your jaw. Also, if you stretch while you yawn, you could dislocate your shoulder. •
A 15th-century man named Lodovico Cortusio evidently hated any and all expressions of grief. In fact, he forbade anyone to mourn at his funeral after his death on July 17, 1418. In his last will and testament, he specified that the person who laughed the most at his funeral would inherit the most, while anyone who cried would be disinherited.

Poor Nutrition Can Undermine Workouts After a week, look at where Q: I have been exercising regularly habits. you could have made better choices
for the past several months, but have only seen slight changes in the way my clothes fit and even smaller changes on my scale. My husband thinks my eating habits are sabotaging my workouts. Could he be right, or do I just need to work harder? A: Your husband may be right on this one. Exercise is a great tool to help facilitate weight and body-fat loss, but it is only one part of the puzzle. Factors such as nutrition, stress, medical conditions and other lifestyle choices are just as important as your workouts. Each factor depends on the others to truly allow your body to be healthy, fit and strong. There is no question that exercise is extremely important to help keep bones and muscles strong, to maintain lean muscles and promote flexibility and cardiovascular function. However, the importance of nutrition cannot be overlooked. The body uses calories for energy, and the amount the body consumes can affect how your body responds. Your exercise routine cannot cancel out the overconsumption of calories, which can result in the body's inability to lose body fat. Try keeping a food log for a week to truly monitor your eating
and begin to make adjustments. If you continue to complete your exercise routine, with these new small changes to your diet, you should begin to see changes. Nutrition and exercise must go hand and hand. Take your time and begin to modify your lifestyle so there is room for both. You'll also need to take note of other factors such as stress and medical conditions. Make a total evaluation of your lifestyle and find where there is room for improvement. Seek the assistance of a professional nutritionist or dietician to help with your meal planning and analysis of your food logs, and consult a certified personal trainer if needed to help in designing a workout routine that will help you reach your goals. Continue to work out even if your nutritional habits take a while to change, because the benefits of exercise are tremendous. However, improving your nutritional habits will put you in a winwin situation. Always consult a physician before beginning an exercise program.

Make Every Dollar Count Out-of-pocket medical costs, food and gas, unexpected expenses -- many of us on fixed incomes are in tight financial situations as prices around us skyrocket. They say that 10 percent of us live below the poverty line and that more than half of us are having trouble buying essentials. Here are some ideas to make it a little easier to get by: • Be sure you're getting every discount you're entitled to, and that includes property taxes. If you're a senior and a veteran, or are disabled or have a low income, it might mean a double discount. • Food: Use coupons at the grocery store. If your local store has a senior discount day, shop then. Also, do any local churches host free or reduced-cost meals? How about food boxes delivered once a week or every month? • Transportation: Is there a seniors

Can you carpool with a few friends once a week to take care of errands? • Medical: If you qualify as low income, have you applied for Medicare Part D? If your doctor prescribes a costly prescription, ask if he has samples for you to try first before you spend money on a drug you might not be able to take. • Taxes: Did you apply for the stimulus rebate check, even if you haven't had enough income to send in a tax form? You have to file a Form 1040 before October 15, but the sooner you file, the sooner you get your check. • Clothing and furniture: Sign up on your local FreeCycle [www.freecycle.org] and take advantage of offers of free items others are giving away.

BICYCLES (continued): • In the 1890s, the first "modern" bicycles appeared: chain-driven vehicles with similarly-sized tires. These were safer than the Mentionmodels this Ad 20% high-wheel (andfor were evenoff! called "safety bicycles" as a result), but proved a step backwards in comfort. While the long spokes of high-wheel bikes absorbed bumps and ruts, the smaller wheels on these new bikes, particularly when coupled with the hard-rubber tires of the era, made for jarring, unpleasant rides. • More than a million bicycles were sold in the United States by the time 1895 rolled around, but one last improvement would propel the bicycle into the must-own category: the pneumatic tire. Under the guidance of the Pope Manufacturing Company (which made bicycles), the Hartford Rubber Works produced America's first pneumatic tires in 1895. Providing a much softer ride, they soon became a standard feature on all bicycle models. • Dozens of smaller-scale improvements boosted the speed, comfort, longevity and performance of bicycles during the 20th century. As women began to find them as necessary as men, two varieties of bicycle were made. Men's bikes were built with an extra stabilizer bar across the top of the bike. Women's bikes omitted the bar, providing for easier mounting and dismounting of the vehicle when wearing skirts. • The 1970s saw the development of two bicycle extremes. First came bicycles that took you nowhere. Otherwise known as exercise bikes, these training aids first hit the home market at the beginning of the decade. Then, as time went on and the energy crisis sent fuel prices skyrocketing, mopeds appeared. These bicycle/motorcycle hybrids, most popular with city-centered business workers, could either be pedaled like a regular bike or powered using a small, low-powered gasoline engine.

When William Howard Taft was growing up, he knew he had some big shoes to fill. His father, Alphonso, had served the federal government in various roles ranging from attorney general to minister to Russia. He'd even been in on the formation of the Republican Party. But as young William grew to be a big man, he matched his father step-for-step inside those shoes. • William Howard Taft was born on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated second in his class from Yale, and then earned a law degree at the Cincinnati Law School. He quickly took a job writing about legal matters for local newspapers, and married Helen Herron, the daughter of a judge. • Admittedly, Taft would have been content to spend his life in the field of law. He wrote about law, practiced law, and taught law. But his family's prominence and political clout forced his hand. At the turn of the 20th century, President William McKinley asked Taft to help bring organization to the United States' newest acquisition, the Philippine Islands, which were won during the SpanishAmerican War. He performed well; so well, in fact, that Theodore Roosevelt called him back to the States in 1903 and appointed him Secretary of War. • Taft used his knowledge, his skill, and his demeanor to help smooth over several conflicts smoldering at the time. He was able to deflect an impending revolution in Cuba, and helped negotiate peace after the Russo-Japanese War. When Roosevelt chose not to run again in 1908, William was thrust forward as the natural successor for the Republican Party. He hated campaigning, but still managed to win the election against Democrat William Jennings Bryan. • While his party expected Taft to further Roosevelt's efforts, the new president had different ideas. A lawyer at heart, he pushed his influence on Congress and backed off T.R.'s progressive leanings. Taft's efforts increased the power of the House and Senate, putting the job of running the government in their hands instead of taking the heavy-handed approach that worked so well for Roosevelt.
Keep the TV off in the morning. Limit TV (and computer/game) time in the hour before bedtime. This works in our family." -- R.G. in Georgia
Back-to-school time can be magical and exciting; there are school supplies and new clothes to buy, old friends to reunite with and new friends to make. But it also can be frustrating. The biggest complaints from moms of school-age kids are frazzled morning routines and keeping homework and school things organized. Here are some back-to-school tips. • "A couple of weeks in advance, have the kids go to bed on time for school and get up at school time. They'll be better used to the routine. We go to breakfast or a park for some exercise." -- P.E. in Texas • "Want to make sure that your kids stay on schedule and get the right amount of sleep?
• "My homework nag-saver: Have a designated homework spot and time, with plenty of room and light, and most importantly, no distractions -- no cell phones, e-mail, TV or games allowed." -- T.S. in Washington • "Prep clothes/bags/books/homework/lunch and whatever else you can the night before, or even the weekend before, by using one of those hanging closet organizers with five or seven divided sections. We plan outfits on Sunday night, and it's all there, ready to go each day. I can store notes and reminders in the appropriate day's bin." -- O.D. in Pennsylvania • And my tip: Eat a healthy breakfast every day, and encourage (or insist) that your kids do the same. A well-fed belly makes for an attentive student and a successful parent. -- JoAnn

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT (continued): •
Taft managed to succeed on some important fronts. He helped pass the 17th Amendment, which allowed citizens to vote for the Senators they sent to Washington. With technology growing rapidly, he worked to ensure that the federal government had a hand in the development of communications utilities, such as the telephone and telegraph. And, to help finance his ideas, he signed the federal Income Tax into law.
By the end of his first term, Taft realized that he still had important work to do, and actively worked towards re-election in 1912. This time around, however, Roosevelt no longer supported him. In fact, Teddy ended up taking the presidency away from him. By starting his own political party (the Progressives or "Bull Moose" party) he diverted enough votes away from the Republican Taft to put the Democrats back in office. Woodrow Wilson won the election. After leaving the White House, Taft returned to Yale where he taught law. When the nation struggled during the period following World War I, the respected (and still able) former president was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by Warren G. Harding. It's a job Taft had long hoped to land, and his years of experience proved invaluable. He served nine years as chief justice before retiring in February 1930. He passed away only a month later.

Here's How to Save on School Clothes Buying new school clothes can be a budgetbuster, but your expenses don't have to approach the level of the national debt if you follow a few guidelines. • Inventory the clothes from last year and have your children try them on. If something still fits, count it as clothing you don't have to buy, at least for now. Figure out what outfits can be made from the existing clothes, and plan your purchases around those. Make a list of the fill-in items you'll need. • Don't buy everything before school starts. An outfit or two, combined with what still fits from last year, will get a child through the first week. During that time, he'll see what everyone else is wearing -- and it likely won't all be new, trendy clothes. • Stick to basics that won't go out of style, and avoid expensive fashion trends. • Check garage sales, consignment shops, Goodwill and Salvation Army for clothes in good condition. Winter coats and jeans especially can be purchased for a few dollars -- designer brands included. Ask about half-price days. If you see something you want, buy it then. Good bargains don't last at thrift shops. Look to outlet stores for name-brand clothes at reduced prices.
• Wait until the middle of September to spend the bulk of your clothing money. Keep an eye on the sales racks where you normally shop for clothes. As the merchandise makes its way through the restocking cycle, what you saw two weeks ago at full price could end up being marked down. Look for off-season merchandise as well, and buy ahead if it's a bargain. • Organize a clothing swap with your church or social group, or even in your neighborhood. • Give an older child a little leeway, such as having a say up to a certain dollar amount or for one outfit. Above that amount, you pick the clothing. Or agree that you'll pay the amount of a basic item and he or she will pay the balance. Finally, remember that you're the parent with the budget to follow. If your child objects to what you want to buy or threatens a meltdown over a certain item, don't buy anything. Go home and do the shopping by yourself later.

"Deerslayer" by James Fenimore Cooper
James Fenimore Cooper was born on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey. He was the son of William and Elizabeth (Fenimore) Cooper, the twelfth of thirteen children (Long, p. 9). Cooper is known as one of the first great American novelists, in many ways because he was the first American writer to gain international followers of his writing. In addition, he was perhaps the first novelist to 'demonstrate...that native materials could inspire significant imaginative writing' (p. 13). In addition his writing, specifically The Deerslayer, present a unique view of the Native America…

We tested using Ubuntu 10.04, which comes prepackaged with MonoDevelop 2.2 and Mono 2.4.4. Our code builds cleanly with no warnings, and, thankfully, all of our unit tests pass:
(Yes, we actually write unit tests for the book code.) We need to investigate our examples that use a third party Shapefile reader a bit more, but we may wind up writing our own Shapefile reader when the manuscript is done.
I have to say that I am quite impressed with Mono, MonoDevelop, OpenTK, and NVIDIA's Linux drivers. Porting to Linux was even easier than I hoped.
We also plan to test on Mac when Apple releases OpenGL 3.3 drivers.

TASCAM's inconspicuous wired mic
Aimed at videographers, TASCAM's DR-10L is a compact body-pack recorder and lavalier microphone that is designed to offer the audio quality and features of its bigger brothers, the DR-10X plug-on ENG and the DR-10SG shotgun mic recorders. As the recorder can be concealed at a subject's hip, the DR-10L removes the unpredictability that arises with wireless solutions, such as interference, while remaining inconspicuous.
The unit is powered by a single AAA battery that reportedly provides 10 hours of recording. It records 48kHz/24-bit Broadcast WAV files, storing them to microSD or microSDHC cards. The features that DR-10X draws from its siblings include a built-in limiter for preventing distortion, a low-cut filter for minimising wind noise and an OLED display designed to be readable in direct sunlight. The manufacturer's Dual Recording mode is also included, which records a lower level safety track in a bid to safeguard against spikes in source level.

Background/Aims: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neuropsychiatric disorders having a genetic risk factor. The association and linkage study for the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor β3 subunit gene (GABRB3), located within the chromosome 15q11-q13 autism candidate region, and ASD have been evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between GABRB3 and ASD in the Korean population. Methods: The present study was conducted with the detection of four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1426217, rs2081648, rs890317, rs981778) in GABRB3 and association analysis in 104 Korean ASD trios using the transmission disequilibrium test. Results: The transmission disequilibrium test demonstrated that an allele at rs2081648 showed preferential transmission (p = 0.027). One haplotype, including all examined markers in GABRB3, demonstrated significant association (p = 0.043), but the global χ2 test for haplotype transmission did not reveal an association between GABRB3 and ASD (χ2 = 15.516, d.f. = 15). Conclusion: Our finding suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in GABRB3 may play a significant role in the genetic predisposition to ASD in the Korean population.

GNOME Builder was created in 2014 by Christian Hergert (GNOME member, currently work in Red Hat). General use case – IDE for GNOME and GNU/Linux technologies. GNOME Builder support C, C++, Python, Vala, JavaScript and others. Good GObjects support is very helpful for GTK+ developers, but don't leave this article if you use another technology: Builder written in C/Glib and can be faster than typical IDE/Editors written in Java or Python like a IDEA, Eclipse, Sublime. In 2015 get the $50k in the fundraiser company.
For beginning we open GNOME Builder and trying to import new project. Import from a git repository is very comfortable:
After import we can see the full desing of IDE (I enable all features for review). Left panel – directory tree with basic file management features and build options; bottom panel – switchable terminal and system monitor; right panel – help menu and list functions(very helpful tool). Also in right part of code window programmer can enable the Overview Map – small transparent map of opened file. All these panels can be hidden with hotkeys or click on the icons in the header.
More about hotkeys: Builder has a personal hotkeys sheme, but also supports Vim and Emacs mode.
In header we can see the extended search window – double search in code and documentation; panels icon, and menu. Builder also have global menu in GNOME.
Split window – effective work on big displays:
Themes support, my favorite is Oblivion:
In my opinion GNOME Builder is most effective for C/C++ programming: auto completion, auto indentation, many snippets and error checker. Builder use Clang for code analyze and sometime it works very strange: inadequate variants of completion or snippets. Compilation is possible via autotools by Builder menu. Another great things is Git integration – Builder checks your commits and highlight uncommitted lines. Every language has personal settings: line numbers, right margin, auto indent and smart backspace. Programming with Builder is very comfortable – don't forget that project is very young.
The same features have also the Python support, but auto completion is better:
For HTML and Markdown the GNOME Builder has a special preview mode:
Builder is also usable for other languages like Go as an editor with steroids: autocompletion, highlights, matching brackets and others.
The best features in my opinion:
- easy projects management and import
- auto completion for C/C++/Python
- auto indentation for many languages
- quick jump between functions, documentation and files
- snippets support
- preview for HTML and Markdown
- global search
- error checks and fix
- git tracking
- IDE built-in commands
- Vim and Emacs mode
This article is also written in GNOME Builder and I recommend to use it. Thanks for reading.

Video Resource: What Can High School Students Teach Us About Budgeting?
I came across a few 1-2 minute videos created by high school students to explain the benefits of budgeting as part of the LifeSmarts 2015 Competition:
- Jamestown High School (North Dakota): Unexpected Virtue of Budgeting
- Henrico 4-H (Virginia): Don't Let Your Budget Go to the Dogs
- West Chicago (Illinois): What Happens When You Don't Budget Properly
- Alabama: Budget Man!
1. Which video do you think does the best job of explaining budgeting? What are the key points that it makes?
2. If you had an extra class period and have already covered budgeting, it might be fun to have students create a one minute video to convince their peers of the need to budget.

Compared to the rest of the Metrolina market, the Mineral Springs region has more expensive rates, and you'll have to negotiate above asking rent to be in this hot region.
In the last 90 days, 116 listings have come on the market, so you'll want to check back regularly for new listings. About 3% of the available leases in the Mineral Springs are subleases, so you will probably need to sign a longer term lease with the landlord directly. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 2,770 sqft, there are still 0 spaces below 2,000 sqft. Most properties in this market are close to 1 stories. Most buildings in this market were built in 1985 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Real estate is the dominant industry in this market. Commute by walking is the most popular way to get to work amongst Mineral Springs residents. Commuting under 5 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Best Old Fashion Sugar Cookies Ever are seriously THE BEST SUGAR COOKIES EVER! Made with real butter and sugar, they cannot be beat.
My husband makes the best sugar cookies ever. I mean EVER. Really. The old fashioned buttery sugary goodness kind. He is always asked to bring them to any Chanukkah or Christmas party where we get an invite.
We have some friends with two very thin, teenage girls. It's a cold day in, well, you know, to even see them eat, so when they consume 3 or more of these cookies, you know they are good! I dare you to find a better tasting cookie……
Always start with the best ingredients you can afford. We like Land O Lakes and Costco brand of butter and King Arthur Flour. A friend of mine brings me back vanilla from Costa Rica, which I feel makes this cookie extra special, but just use whatever high quality vanilla you like.
Unbeknownst to me, the hubs once picked up store brand butter and made the cookies although they were good, they were not life changing. I later found out, he use a store brand butter.
This is an old fashion recipe, so it is important to follow the steps and not throw everything in a mixer and whip. Add butter and sugar into your Stand Mixer and cream. Then add in the vanilla and eggs.
Once you start, you won't be able to resist these Best Old Fashion Sugar Cookies Ever. I promise. Let me know if you make them.
The dry ingredients will get mixed together separately and then slowly added to the wet mixture until just combined.
The last part of the mix is done with a Silicone Spatula, which is not old fashion, but is safer than a rubber spatula, so that you don't over mix. Refrigerating the dough for a bit, makes rolling easier.
Now the fun part, roll the dough into a bowl and then roll into granulated sugar.
Place the dough balls on a Half Sheet Baking Cookie Sheet. I like using Silicone Baking Mats instead of parchment paper so that I make less of a Carbon Footprint.
That is my husband's hand, not mine. 🙂 He uses a Old Fashion Whisky Rocks Glass to flatten the dough.
This is a fun project to get kids in the kitchen. Lay out bowls of colored sugar and have them decorate the cookies however they like.
He decorates my cookies in blue and white for Chanukkah and he also will make Dreidels and Jewish Stars on the cookies.
Bake just enough so that the edges begin to brown, but the centers are still soft and puffy.
Allow to fully cool and then enjoy! If they are not the Best Old Fashion Sugar Cookies Ever, let me know. I dare you to try them and not absolutely love them!
For another seriously delicious dessert, try my Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake or my Holiday Spice Peppernuts Cheesecake.

Here is the handy printable recipe:
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 14 Tablespoons (1¾ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Colored Sugar
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread ½ cup of the sugar in a shallow dish for coating and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
- Beat the butter and remaining 1 ½ cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer, on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl and beaters as needed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Give the dough a final stir with a rubber spatula to make sure it is combined.
- Use wet hands to roll 2 Tablespoons of dough at a time into balls, then roll in the sugar to coat. Lay the balls on two parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the cookies with the buttered bottom of a drinking glass, then sprinkle any of the remaining sugar over the flattened tops or use colored sugar.
- Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until the edges are set and just beginning to brown but the centers are still soft and puffy, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Use colored sugar in place of the remaining sugar to place on cookies after flattening.
For Lemon Sugar Cookies - Add a Tablespoon of Lemon Zest with the eggs in step 2.
For Lime Sugar Cookies – Process one teaspoon grated lime zest in with the ½ cup of sugar for 10 seconds in step 1 and add 2 teaspoons grated lime zest with the eggs in step 2.
For Peppermint Sugar Cookies – Process 20 peppermint candies in a food processor until course crumbs Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the cookies after flattening instead of the leftover sugar

Marilyn Maye to Perform at The Iridium, 7/10
Hailed as "the greatest white female singer in the world" by Ella Fitzgerald, legendary vocalist Marilyn Maye will perform a special one-night-only engagement at The Iridium on July 10. "Maye Takes Five," presented by The Iridium and ScoBar Entertainment, will feature her trio (pianist/musical director Tedd Firth, bassist Tom Hubbard and drummer Ray Marchica) plus special guests including renowned clarinetist Ken Peplowski and noted trumpet man Brian Pareschi. Sets are at 8 & 10pm.
Maye, who appeared on The Tonight Show a record 76 times during her remarkable career, has been named an Official Jazz Legend by The American Jazz Museum, and she was listed as one of the Best Performers of the Best Compositions of the 20th Century by The Arts Council of The Smithsonian Institution for her recording of Lerner and Lowe's composition, 'Too Late Now.'
The New York Times has praised her "full and rich" voice, while the Wall Street Journal raved that "when going to hear Marilyn Maye, you'll find on one side of the room are the Broadway and cabaret people...[and] on the other side is the jazz crowd...Ms. Maye is the only pop-song diva working today who can satisfy both crowds at once."

Post Adolescence – My Nothing
June 22, 2011 by Pete RingMaster
NAME: Post Adolescence
ALBUM: My Nothing
DATE: 10December2010
LABEL: Self Released
FIVE WORD REVIEW: Infectious and essential pop punk
LOCATION: Seattle, US
LINE UP: Johnny Straube – Guitar, Vocals Gar Hooker – Bass, Vocals Brian McCrossen – Drums Mark Clem – Guitar, Keys, Vocals Adrian Garver – Guitar, Keys
WHAT'S THE STORY?: As more and more bands pop up inspired by the post punk era of the 80's, they could do a lot worse than checking out Post Adolescence. Upon forming in late 2007 the Seattle band worked long and hard writing songs and perfecting their sound, refusing to rush in the release of music until it was exactly how they wanted it. From late 2009 through to early 2010 they settled down to record their debut album My Nothing, finding an eager and receptive response to the tracks within as they were revealed. What other bands should note is the way Post Adolescence have been inspired by and taken only the best elements of the best time for pop punk, realising and drawing on the qualities bands like Buzzcocks and Manic Street Preachers used to such great creativity. Doing so has meant rather than simply sounding like a copy of bands back then, they have developed a uniqueness that sets them apart.
The trio of vocalist/guitarist Johnny Straube, bassist Gar Hooker, and drummer Brian McCrossen, have come up with an album that is impossible to stop listening to. Full of strong riffs, infectious hooks, and soaring melodies, it is a delight from the first note to the last. It contains exactly what makes pop punk such an absorbing and irresistible genre when it is done right. The fact that these guys are not some bunch of kids just starting to shave and have lived music, learning to understand it, brings an evident maturity to the songs.
Noticeably people have compared the band to Placebo, and though understandable that is more down to the stylish vocals of Straube. His soaring, higher pitched vocals with its natural reverb are quite reminiscent of Brian Molko. Musically Post Adolescence's sound of driving beats and inviting melodies is more a blend of Jimmy Eats World and Manic Street Preachers splashed with a spot of fun from the likes of Cute Lepers. There is a light and fun mood to the album which is almost surprising considering the lyrical content of many of the tracks; stories of lost and defeated love alongside abandoned hearts and hopes are the basis for most of the songs.
From the opening indie rock flavoured 'It Gets Better', right through to the closing scuzzy rock of 'A Song To Surrender' the album is a vibrant wash of sound. Straube's vocals and decisive guitar play is creative alongside the deep and rumbling basslines of Hooker, making an engaging canvas for the lyrical emotion to be laid upon. Whether it is a song you cannot resist joining in with like the pop punk directness of 'I'm Not Here' or '24 Hours', or the emotional slower paced tracks like 'Your Lies Are The New Black', the band is tight and impressive.
There is a strong consistency within My Nothing, every track as enjoyable as another but the dual attack of 'ESP' and 'Act Of Whore' in the middle is especially satisfying. The first has a sound that is new to the ear but also like an old friend bringing an instant recognition and eager liking from the listener. The latter of the two is a clever interpretation of the lyrical content, the bitterness of the words coming out in the music as well as the vocal delivery, the track practically dripping venom.
My Nothing was recorded with Seattle producer Mark Clem and it is obvious he understood and allowed the music and ideas of the band to breathe without compromising the complete overall sound of the band. Since the completion of the album and to ensure the band could take its sound into their live shows, Post Adolescence recruited Clem and also the guitar/keyboard skills of Adrian Garver. The quintet intent and ready to take their sound to the world have opened the door with My Nothing, with many of its tracks receiving radio play worldwide. This is essential listening and highly recommended.
SOUNDS LIKE: Manic Street Preachers, Jimmy Eats World, Cute Lepers
YOU'LL LIKE THIS IF: pop punk of the highest order sets your juices flowing.

text: STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . -- More than 200 former Penn State football players are petitioning university leaders to return the bronze statue of Joe Paterno that stood outside the schools football stadium.The statue of the late football coach was removed in 2012. That was after his former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted of child sexual abuse and an investigation accused Paterno and other ex-officials of covering up complaints about Sandusky.The players sent a letter Tuesday to the board of trustees and Penn State President Eric Barron calling for the statues return. The players also want an apology to Paternos wife, Sue, and the restoration of the wall that stood behind the statue.A university spokesman says there will be a time and a place to acknowledge Paternos legacy.

With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play. http://www.cheapauthenticstitchednfljerseys.com/ . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries.Jackson Martinez's £31m transfer from Atletico Madrid to Guangzhou Evergrande captured the imagination this week as the Colombian became just the latest big-name player to switch to the Chinese Super League. Martinez signs for Evergrande Guangzhou Evergrande have signed Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez. There is already speculation that Chelsea captain John Terry could sign a lucrative contract in China too, having suggested that his current club will not be offering him a new deal.Terry would be linking up with former Blues team-mate Ramires, who made a £25m move of his own to Jiangsu Suning last month. But its the transfer of Martinez, a 29-year-old first-team regular at one of Europes strongest sides thats the real reminder that China could soon become a haven for stars in their prime as well.Evergrande had sold Elkeson to Shanghai SIPG prior to Martinezs arrival and with Gervinho joining Hebei China Fortune, China has accounted for four of the five biggest transfers this winter. Whos in China? Demba Ba, Tim Cahill, Gervinho, Asamoah Gyan, Paulinho, Ramires and Mohamed Sissoko are among the former Premier League players in China. The expansion has been rapid with the television rights for the next five years of the Chinese Super League costing £830m, more than 30 times the previous sum.While the heavily regulated world of Major League Soccer restricts the likelihood of such excesses, there are no such obvious impediments in the way for the Chinese Super League.It seems that the prospect of a new market emerging to compete with Europes biggest league is one to be taken seriously. Paulinho, Tim Cahill and Ramires are among those embracing life in China Chris Atkins is a Chinese football expert based in Guangzhou, as well as a player representative and registered intermediary for RWMG Sports. Heres his take on the changes in China…What has changed in China and why?The government is keen to establish a more balanced economy based upon more than just manufacturing, with sports and entertainment industries seen as areas for investment. In China, companies are reliant on good relationships with the authorities and therefore are often inclined to help with initiatives seen as in the national interest. The stars in China Following Jackson Martinezs record-breaking move, we look at the other stars who play in Chinaa. Supply China Jerseys. What companies have also seen from the success of Guangzhou Evergrande is the amount of brand recognition that can be gained from football, allowing diversification. With many of those involved from the slowing real estate sector, that is an important benefit. The overall idea is to build a footballing product that puts China on the world map.Whats the standard like?The top end of the division is as good as it gets in Asia, with four or five clubs now at a pretty good standard and Guangzhou Evergrande having won the AFC Champions League twice in the past three years. Gervinho heads to China Former Arsenal winger Gervinho has left Roma to join Chinese Super League new boys Hebei Fortune. Obviously the league is still far off the levels of Europes top leagues, but it has improved dramatically in the past five years and should continue to do so. However, the big task will be raising the standard of the Chinese players across the board with the majority of better players now at only three or four sides.Are there a lot of clubs capable of spending big now? Which ones?Every year the number of clubs capable of making big-money additions seems to increase as we are seeing more and more clubs taken over by big enterprises. Even the second division now is starting to see increased investment and the likes of Jadson, Luis Fabiano and Zvjezdan Misimovic will line up in that league this year. Ramires in Chelsea exit Ramires has completed his move to Chinese side Jiangsu Suning from Chelsea for a fee of £25m. The top spending clubs capable of attracting top players are probably Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG, Jiangsu Suning, Hebei China Fortune, Shandong Luneng and Beijing Guoan.How is the influx affecting your clients? Is the money going up across the board?Pretty much. The need to spend more to stay competitive is being felt at all levels. While at the very bottom of the second division, salaries are still not increasing too much (around $200k net per year), a number of clubs who were spending those levels last year have raised their budget substantially for this season.Is this a fad or the start of something big?This is the key question. However, while current levels of spending may not be sustained I think the general push in the direction of sports investment will continue for some time. Much will depend on Chinas economic growth in the years ahead and particularly the health of the housing market.For the time being, expect further Chinese encroachment into European clubs and also further investment in players for the Chinese Super League.
