looks nice.. but it chipped & cracked when dropped
My husband was showing his ring to his friend and it dropped onto the ground(cement) a piece of the ring chipped off.... he continued to wear it until we replaced it. A week after the chip he noticed a crack developing up from where the chip in the ring was. When we first got the ring he loved it... the look ... design... color... weight. Everything about it was nice. Except it didn't last!!!! :( I am so sad about it. A few friends have tungsten carbide rings and their rings have held up nicely. The reason why we chose a tungsten ring is because of it's durability. My husband is in the Army and serving in Iraq so we needed a durable, strong ring. After further research(because I just couldn't understand how this could happen to tungsten) some of the tungsten rings can chip or crack if dropped if they aren't made with nickel alloy. Some rings are made with a different alloy that makes the ring less durable. This ring doesn't specify if nickel alloy is used ... but I am assuming it is NOT! If you do decide to buy this ring(after all it is a nice looking ring!!!)... make sure you get the protection plan just in case it cracks... !! Unfortunately we didn't purchase the protection plan... Oh yeah... and order a 1/2 size smaller.Read More
Gprgeous AND Masculine!
After almost 24 years of marriage to a very hardworking mechanic, he said that he would very much like to have a wedding ring. He never wore one before this, because his first one almost took his finger off at work during an accident. Now, 22 years later we ordered this beautiful tungsten carbide wedding band and my husband displays it PROUDLY. It's very masculine, stunning in its brightness yet extremely classy. We looked at other Tungsten Carbide rings, but were unable to afford them on our budget. Nothing could have pleased me more than seeing this gorgeous ring for my husband at about 18% of what the stores are charging for it. I cannot recommend this ring enough. It's romantic without being feminine, it's classy without emptying the bank account, and after all of these weeks it does not have a SINGLE scratch, dent or imperfection on it. Absolutely buy this ring. You will not be sorry, and your man will look great wearing it without being self conscious about "jewelry"!! Thanks Overstock!Read More
What a deal
I purchased to replace my husbands wedding band that was damaged, and he loves this better than his first one. I would recommend this to any man who is really tough on rings.Read More

Prince Harry gives tourists a shock with unexpected trip to Rome's Colosseum
A GROUP of American and Canadian tourists got the shock of their lives today when they found themselves alongside Prince Harry on a tour of the Colosseum.
The fourth in line to the throne went to the Rome landmark after asking to see some of the sights of the Eternal City at the end of a two-day visit to Italy focused on commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Second World War victory at Monte Cassino.
Wearing a pale blue checked shirt and jeans, Harry, 29, arrived for a private tour of the amphitheatre, a Unesco World Heritage site built between 70 and 80 AD, as a group of around 20 Canadians and Americans were at the same point of a guided tour.
They stood transfixed, with broad smiles, as Harry stood a few yards from them, listening to a woman guide explain how the Colosseum hosted gladiatorial combats, animal hunts and other shows for Roman emperors and crowds of more than 50,000.
He is so handsome. He is actually much more handsome in person
Wanda Quenneville, 45, from Toronto in Canada, said: "I was in shock. That was really exciting.
"It was the highlight of our visit. He is so handsome. He is actually much more handsome in person."
Mrs Quenneville, who was on holiday with her husband Phil, 47, and daughter Alysha, 21, and son Andrew, 23, added: "I am all jittery now."
Alyshia, a student, said: "It was crazy. It was unbelievable. Better than the Colosseum."
Hundreds of tourists looking down from the higher galleries, trained their cameras on the royal visitor, cheered and shouted "Prince Harry".
Aides said the visit, described as a semi-official part of the Prince's visit to Italy, came out at the Prince's request.
"I think he wanted to do some tourism, "said one. "He wanted to come and see some of the sights."
Harry listened intently as the guide spent five minutes introducing him to the history and role of the Colosseum before the royal party moved out of sight and continued their private tour.
They hoped to see a few more of the sights, time permitting, before flying back to Britain tonight on a scheduled service.

Contact Phone Number HMRC Tax Office | Call 0843 487 1818
Looking For The Best Number To Contact Your Local Tax Office Call 0843 487 1818
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HRMC) is a non-ministerial division of the Government, responsible for the administration and gathering of taxes, including income, corporation, capital gains, inheritance, value-added (VAT), stamp duty and tax. In addition, HMRC also handles environmental taxes as well as National Insurance, state support benefits such as Tax Credits, the administration of anti-money laundering legislation and the protection of the UK's borders (through the UK Border Agency).
Whether you have an enquiry relating to personal or business taxation or a related benefit, you'll find a wealth of information at www.hmrc.gov.uk. Alternatively, due to the private nature of such financial enquiries, many people prefer to contact the Tax Office directly – to discuss your situation please phone the contact number provided.
For your convenience, we have highlighted a range of commonly raised taxation questions – providing at-a-glance answers for your reference.
How to completion of tax-returns and self-assessment online
This can seem daunting but with a little guidance, it needn't be – we have illustrated a step-by-step guide featuring key issues, from stringent deadline dates to commercial software designed to assist with the personal tax return process.
Essential tax-return deadlines: 2017/2018
|Self Assessment

Commercial software tools, designed to assist with self-assessment:

SA100 – aimed at individuals (including those who are self-employed)
SA800 – accommodating partnership tax returns
SA900 – outlining Trust and Estate tax returns
Please note that you will find a comprehensive list of commercial software suppliers at hmrc.gov.uk – alternatively please don't hesitate to phone the Tax Office number provided.
Need help with HMRC tax self-assessment? Call 0843 487 1818
Despite being able to conduct tax returns by post or via HMRC online, it is often necessary to discuss requirements with a taxation expert. To raise any queries you have please call the Tax Office contact number – lines are open from 8 am to 8 pm on a Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 4 pm on a Saturday.
Tax Credits – aspects to consider when completing your renewal by phone
- Did you know that if you have a child aged 16, 18 or 19 – if they are in full-time approved education or training, for example, an NVQ course or relevant traineeship (unpaid), this could have a beneficial effect on the amount of benefit you receive?
- Childcare costs: If you qualify for assistance with paying for childcare whilst you are working, benefits typically amount up to £122.50 for 1 child and up to £210 per week for 2 or more children – depending on your income and the frequency of the childcare.
- Claiming tax credits on behalf of someone else requires you to send a signed TC689 form to the Tax Credit Office – this provides authorization for 12 months (unless directed otherwise). Authorisation usually takes 2 days and it is possible to add more than one trustee (each with an individual TC689 form).
- Renewing your tax credits requires some crucial information including, your National Insurance number, details of earnings (for you and your partner) for the last tax year and your unique 15-digit reference number (found in your renewal pack).
- The Tax Credits renewal deadline is the 31st July – however, this will be confirmed in your renewal pack. Please note that missing the deadline can result in your payments being stopped.
Assistance with the completion of Tax Credits via telephone
Due to the personal nature of tax Credits, many claimants prefer to discuss their situation one-to-one – if you wish to contact the Tax Office directly, lines are open on a Monday to Friday from8 amm until 8pm and on a Saturday from 8am until 4pm.
An employers' guide to taxation procedures
As an employer there are numerous taxation aspects to be aware of, for ease of reference we have listed some of the most regularly raised questions.
What Tax forms
There is a diverse range of documents that will prove essential to the running of your business, which include:
- P11D Expenses & Benefits
- SSP2 Statutory Sick Pay Record Sheet
- P32 Employer Payment Record
- SC2 Statutory Sick Pay
- P46 (Car) – for the private use of a car by an employee or director
For a full insight into which forms are needed, click onto www.hmrc.gov.uk – alternatively please ask for details via the Tax Office phone number.
FPS or EPS
FPS and/or EPS figures should be submitted at the end of the tax year, sending relevant documents on the day you would usually pay your employees – for the majority of employers this will be the final payday before the end of tax year, which is 5th April.
Please note that your taxation software will inform you if all documentation has been successfully received by HMRC.
National Insurance contributions – employer responsibilities
If you have any staff registered as self-employed it is their responsibility to organise National Insurance payments, otherwise contributions should be calculated through your PAYE system and entered via your FPS.
Starting a new tax year – aspects to remember
April 6th 2013 witnessed the introduction of 'real-time' tax returns, which means employers now complete and return payroll information digitally rather than by paper. If you haven't already made the change, most of the software required is available free of charge – once established any manual documentation must be transferred to digital format, this includes changes to tax codes, income tax details and National Insurance contribution rates.
Once again, further information can be found at hmrc.gov.uk or by calling the Tax Office contact number provided between the hours of 8am and 8pm on a Monday to Friday or from 8 am and 4pm on a Saturday.

Orange weather alert in effect as thunderstorms to strike entire country
MET Eireann has issued an Orange Weather alert for the entire country as thunderstorms look set to strike today.
Motorists are also being urged to drive with extreme care today as high winds and heavy downpours hit several parts of the country.
An Orange Alert is the second most severe alert which can be issued.
A spokesperson for Met Eireann told Independent.ie this morning that the warning will remain in place until tonight at least.
"The warning is in place for the whole country. Normally thunderstorms would be isolated however these ones will be widespread throughout the country.
"There will be a lot of showers later this morning before more thundery weather moves in the late morning and early afternoon."
Met Eireann has also warned that flash flooding should be expected in some areas.
"We had 6 – 7mm of rain in some areas yesterday in some downpours, and we could see an inch today.
"The ground is already saturated in some areas which increases the risk of flash flooding. There's definitely a risk of torrential downpours."
But while heavy and thundery downpours will lash much of the country, temperatures are expected to jump to 20C this weekend.
While some sunny spells are expected today, showers will soon become widespread and outbreaks of flash flooding and hail are expected. But the highly changeable conditions are set to continue as hazy sunshine will make another welcome return later this week.
Met Eireann is predicting the best conditions this weekend in both the capital and across the eastern part of the country, with temperatures to reach as high as 20C.
While the west is still battling heavy rains today, it too is set to enjoy a much drier, brighter weekend.
However, forecasters warned that while conditions from Thursday onwards will be an improvement on today and tomorrow, the best places to enjoy the sun will be in back gardens and parks, as coastal areas will be much cooler, only reaching a maximum of 13C.
The favourable weather conditions could even carry on into next week with a positive outlook for further sunshine predicted.
A spokesperson from Met Eireann said: "From tomorrow onwards there will be high pressure building over the country, which will cause a return to more settled and warmer conditions.
"The outlook for the weekend, and certainly for the east of the country, looks quite pleasant."

Bikash Mohapatra reports from Lord's on Day 5 of the first Test.
Arrogance is the word!
There was loads of it going into the ongoing India-England series.
'The English bowling attack is good, but not good enough to take 20 Indian wickets.' So said our experts.
'India's the No.1 Test team in the world,' boasted others, claiming MS Dhoni's men had cracked the code for success overseas.
True, the Indian team has won Test matches in Australia, South Africa and England in recent times, but there's a long way to go before it can boast of its away record.
Monday offered a reality check.
Chasing 458 to win, the visitors never attempted to go for it. A draw was all they were looking for.
In the end, a 196-run thrashing was what they eventually got, the result helping England take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
It was a deserving English win, to say the least. For, it happened against all odds.
The home team had lost the toss on a wet opening day. Having been asked to bat, they also lost both their openers early.
More importantly, they never had the crowd -- a crucial factor in home matches -- rooting for them. A massive influx of South Asians meant it was huge support for India.
Yet, it was the performance that eventually mattered. One that helped Andrew Strauss's men secure their first Test win over India in five years -- since their win at the Wankhede in 2006 -- and their first win over the opponents on English soil since 2002.
Their batsmen -- Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Matt Prior in particular -- stuck to the task, and their bowlers -- James Anderson, Chris Tremlett and Stuart Broad -- earned their wickets.
Anderson finished with second innings figures of five for 65, his third five-wicket haul at the home of cricket.
It was a job well done; a plan well-executed!
As regards India, it meant going back to the drawing board.
The team may have attained the No.1 ranking mainly due to a series of positive results on the flat tracks at home. However, the (defensive) mindset, when it plays away, is yet to change.
One or two inspired efforts may yield a positive result. But overseas dominance is but a pipedream.
There'll be excuses galore. There will be massive cover-ups for the poor performances -- Harbhajan Singh, Gautam Gambhir and the ilk.
Whatever be the case, the reality is India's miserable record at Lord's has just got worse (11 defeats in 16 matches played). And there is no explanation for that.
Morning session (62 runs, 26 overs, three wickets):
Resuming at their overnight score of 80 for 1 (27 overs), Rahul Dravid (36) and VVS Laxman (56) started on a cautious note.
The former, though, seemed in all sorts of trouble tackling the pace and bounce that the English quicks generated. In fact, Dravid had a stroke of fortune when, in Tremlett's third over of the day, he was put down by Ian Bell at short leg.
However, a horrendous error cost him his wicket. A momentary lapse of concentration saw him fishing at a wide delivery from Anderson, and Prior made no mistake with the catch.
- Highest fourth innings chases at Lord's
The batsman's reaction was instant -- he slammed his bat to the ground. The frustration was palpable.
England though got the breakthrough they were looking for. Dravid's dismissal brought an end to a 75-run partnership for the second wicket which had defied the English charge for so long.
With Tendulkar not being able to bat till 12.27 (local time), Gautam Gambhir came in at No.4.
Broad came into the attack in the 39th over and Gambhir was fortunate to survive a huge leg before appeal off his final delivery.
Off the third ball of Broad's third over in the day, Laxman survived a huge appeal for caught behind. Broad was convinced, but umpire Billy Bowden wasn't. Referral time!
Umpire Bowden was right; Laxman did not nick it.
In Broad's next over, Laxman hit his eighth boundary to register his 53rd Test fifty, his fifth against England.
Anderson came in to replace Broad (11-3-24-1) in the 48th over and struck first ball, having the dangerous Laxman caught by Ian Bell at midwicket. It was a very callous shot by Laxman, considering he had settled down so well.
In came Sachin Tendulkar to a rapturous applause, and he hit the fifth ball he faced to the fence.
However, in the next over, Swann had Gambhir out leg before. The left-hander made 22.
Tendulkar and Raina ensured there was no further damage before lunch.
Post-lunch session (76 runs, 28 overs, 1 wicket):
How does it feel to have a hostile home crowd? Ask any of the England players this.
On the fifth day of the opening Test at Lord's, it was as if England was playing on Indian soil.
There was a packed house, no two ways about that. But those supporting the visitors far outnumbered English fans. Blame it on the huge Asian contingent in London!
When England dominated the opening session, the decibel levels were well under control. But, as the Indian batsmen defied the bowlers in the second session, the crowd became boisterous with each passing delivery.
The biggest beneficiary of this partisan support was none other than Sachin Tendulkar. Only, had he made it count.
The Master Blaster's innings (12) was, bluntly put, disappointing. At no point during his stay at the crease did he look comfortable. Having said that, one also has to admit that he had fortune favouring him not once, but twice.
When on 11, Tendulkar survived a huge leg before shout from Broad. The bowler was convinced; the umpire unmoved.
Television replays suggested Billy Bowden had got it wrong. The crowd was celebrating nonetheless. They wanted another century from Tendulkar.
A few overs later, Strauss put down Tendulkar at first slip, dropping what seemed like a regulation catch. England's captain had dropped Dravid (on 46) in the first innings and the blemish had cost England dearly, the batsman going on to score a hundred and help India avoid the follow-on.
On this occasion, though, the bowler (Anderson) made sure the reprieve did not cost England much. Two balls later, he had an out-of-sorts Tendulkar leg before.
In the next over, Swann had Raina stumped. Well, almost! The replay came to the batsman's rescue.
By now the crowd had gone completely silent. The noise came back when Raina and MS Dhoni started playing freely towards the end of the second session. Every boundary was greeted with applause, and so was every English blemish.
India ended the session at 213 for five (80 overs), with Raina unbeaten on 50 and Dhoni on 15.
With a session to go, and this being the last recognized pair left, India will need all the crowd support possible to eke out a draw.
As regards England, suffice to say, they have to keep trying. And not let the crowd, or the opposition, decide their destiny.
Post-tea session (43 runs, 15.3 overs, five wickets):
Tremlett struck soon after resumption. He had Dhoni, caught behind. India's captain scored 16 and his dismissal brought to an end a 60-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
Broad came in to replace Anderson (24- 5-57-3) in the 89th over. And he was twice unlucky in the second over he bowled in the spell.
First, Morgan put down Harbhajan at gully. Then Raina (at 63) survived a huge leg before appeal next ball.
Broad was convinced, so were his teammates. But umpire Bowden remained unmoved.
Television replays suggested Bowden had got it wrong for a second time in the day. The ball had pitched in the line and hit Raina on the pads, the bat was nowhere near.
Anderson, though, brought some much-needed relief by accounting for Harbhajan (12) in the next over.
The bowler dug it in short and Bhajji's awkward pull was snapped up by Tremlett at wide-ish mid-on.
Soon after, Broad rattled Praveen Kumar's (2) stumps with a fuller delivery that nipped back.
And when Anderson had Raina (78) caught behind -- the batsman having survived a referral four balls earlier -- it was a matter of time before the Indian innings folded.

Public school advocates rally at Capitol
Advocates to lawmakers: Pay for Mississippi schools
Public school advocates are telling Mississippi legislators they won't tolerate shortfalls in education funding.
At least 300 gathered for a rally Thursday at the Capitol. With the end of the legislative session approaching, a much-discussed rewrite of the education funding formula is nowhere to be seen. Protesters are demanding that the legislature allow more public input.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Kostas Mitroglou scored twice as Greece beat Romania 3-1 in the first leg of a World Cup qualifying playoff tie on Friday at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium in Athens.
The Olympiakos Piraeus striker volleyed Greece in front after 14 minutes but the visitors hit back four minutes later via Bogdan Stancu's header from a clever Gabriel Torje free-kick.
The Greeks retook the lead immediately thanks to Dimitris Salpingidis's close-range finish, while Mitroglou added a third in the 66th to increase the advantage. Romania's Costin Lazar was then sent off in stoppage time.
Fernando Santos' Greece team were well worth the victory that gave them every chance of securing a place in Brazil next year after the return leg against Victor Piturca's side in Bucharest next Tuesday.
(This version of the story removes reference to first-half in the lead.)

B8428-001: Social Impact Real Estate Part II
W - B Term, 09:00AM to 12:15PM
Location: WJW 416
Instructor: Rachel Diller
Prerequisite(s): B6300 and one of the following: B8427: , B8331: Real Estate Finance
This Term B course will focus on how to develop and invest in social impact real estate projects. What are the financial building blocks available for developers and investors to use when putting together deals? Who are the players?
Using examples of real deals, and focusing largely on urban markets, students will work through the challenges and opportunities of financing various types of projects, including: affordable and mixed-income housing, mixed-use, neighborhood retail, community facilities. Students will be exposed to a variety of financial tools (LIHTCs, tax-exempt bonds, NMTCs, etc.) and public sector programs that are necessary to make social impact projects feasible while also being asked to gauge whether the risk-adjusted returns warrant "doing the deal".
In addition, the course will explore the following questions: who are the players in the social impact real estate space? Who are the capital providers in both the public and private sectors? Who are the developers? Can you make money being a socially responsible developer? What role do nonprofits play?
Speakers will include: for-profit and nonprofit developers, fund managers, government officials and financial institutions.

David Gibson is who we know;
But your friends, colleagues call you "PRO."
I knew you as an humble child,
You are going to be missed for a long, long while.
You were firm & tall,
You played that ball.
Your number "8" that's new beginnings,
Now you are on a team that is always winning.
"GIB" or "PRO," you have game,
Yet now you are resting in Jesus name.
We thank God for your time spent with us here,
And in our hearts you will always be near
With Love
Ms. Daisy

David Gibson at this time was a senior at FAMU. I am not sure where he received his scholarship but he was going to check out a school in Atlanta, GA when there was an accident and his life was cut short. He is missed so much.

I simply love being me
for I am so good at everything
step into my city and they
will tell you who is King
one day when I am hungry
I will swallow everything
then and only then shall I
inherit the stuff I dream
even then I promise
not to settle for satisfaction
at any instant half a second
I could spring into full action
so go against me? please,
you do not even measure
up to half of the goodness
that I hold tight like my treasure
still spreading rumors about me
to try and destroy my life
can't believe I let myself get beat by
a stripper and my self-intended knife
try and say I'm gay
even though we both know that isn't the truth
just ask any woman I been with
if they ever needed proof
they'll say I was the cream of the crop
as they took it all night knowing
I just may never stop
I own the status of a legend
now what you got left to say
when I bring it twenty-four seven?

Show me who you are and i shall paint out broken columns on the valleys of her back as if such figure is un-common
i have found no beauty bending as the vines that are her hair and the frailty of man upon her back is what she bares
bleed her body for the harvest let them feast upon her soul for the nurishment of mother is leaps beyond so bold
she is like the flower growing in the deepest of dark forests,amongst the ivy and hemlock but her skin is much too porous
to concern herself with games that tantalize the men, as they marry on crusade it is her children that she tends
sheath your swords with her ambition and tip your arrows with her will, craft your armour from her strength and in the battle you will kill
come now children from the pasture and lay each upon her side, suckle gently at your mother although theirs pain she does not hide
though the water leaks from rooftops her leaves are thick and block the rain, as the water level rises cling to her branches with no shame
she is the stone upon the beach, once a mountain pound and breached
yet still her disposition clear to love her children that are near

As the life and voice of Dr. Maya Angelou were profoundly deep and moving, I hope you will find this grateful tribute to her to be fitting. As it is too long to be posted here, you can find it at
Or, Read it in parts I and II:
Part I:
The name woke me up - sat me up in my bed...
"Maya", the name my voice called out...
As I sat there in the dark, listening...
As I had so many times before...
Wondering at the "whys" and "how - tos" of my impossible dreams.
And as the dark, so was the divide -
That place in me, between what I was,
And the Why and Who I wanted to be...
But always, her voice, that voice named "Maya",
Had called across the divide as a still and steady light.
That unbreakable, unshakable, steady light...
I wondered where it was now, with blinking, thinking eyes.
Had it vanished? Was it vanquished? Could I once again rise -
In the dark staring dead at me... daring me to rise...
I felt hopeless, lost back in the divide… now growing ever and ever wide.
What happens now - my question? A miracle now, an answer - indeed...
For through the dark, that voice named "Maya" whispered...
Whispered into me... sounding a new song's drumbeat creed...
"You", the whispering voice whispered..."You, child - Now, You"...
And my feet were suddenly planted, planted bravely on the ground.
And I stood tall and strong, stepping peacefully forward, twirling round,
For the dark no longer stared at me, but I stared into it...
It no longer owned me... but instead, I commanded it,
By a path so still and steady - and now, so brightly lit:
The light I had strained to see was now the miracle shining from inside of me.
My divide... was now, somehow... unified.
And again the whispering voice came: "Yes child - Yes - I speak your name…
I have come and gone so very far, borne witness to it -
Have delivered a gift to you all - and you were born to use it.
Share it... wear it... and to the dark - dare it - with that unbreakable, unshakable light."
"Be a voice for all seasons - make some noise for all the reasons,
The downtrodden have to hope for, that the world would grasp and grope for…
Be my voice Now… as I have been yours… a brilliant spirit, not a wandering ghost…
Make your choice, Now - Decide - to be Identified…
To see and live your unbreakable, unshakable, unstoppable dreams."
Continued i Part II

I had a little bunny
honey was her name
She was so cute and funny
till I clubbed her in the brain
So sad I had to eat her
but I'm really not to blame
Was the doings of my daddy
and his sickly little games
I had to hang my bunny
in the killing tree
She kicked and screamed so madly
till my mind went free
I cut her throat and peeled her
but I wasn't really there
That's the story of my bunny
my lifeless skinless little hare
Have you ever heard a rabbit scream?
It sounds just like me

In a blink of an eye,
Those favourable moments just disappears,
Leaving her alone,
Alone with nothing but a cold freezing heart.
Eventhough she's likely to move,
From her doomed dark past,
Desolated road or an outlandish land,
She handles with caution and a solid heart.
The futther she travels,
The bizzare the land becomes,
She's stunned to see,
The stunning scenery.
Audacious one she becomes,
With a mighty golden heart she has,
The heart that once cold,
By little becomes a gaudy one.
From the piercing eyes of hers,
She saw the world,
As a distrous place,
And a strenvous life to ride ahead.
Then she met a company,
Amicable and benevolent one,
One heart is cold,
But turns warm,all cause of the other one.
The company is agile,
With a broading smile,
Always trying to turn,
The one cold heart warm.
But nothing last for an eternity,
As the company parted to the other world,
The heart that was once warm,
Turns eternally cold.

Dear Diary,
I know that you don't have eyes or ears,
but you listen, and you need to hear,
that today my heart broke in my chest,
as I heard my best friend was laid to rest.
He was fighting something for a while,
and through it all he kept a smile,
I remember seeing a lump on his head,
and the doctor said he needed to stay in bed,
my mommy says he'll be better now,
but I still don't understand how,
I gave him my favorite stuffed bear,
daddy said it shows I care,
I miss this kid with every fiber I got,
but they took him away in a wooden box,
and now mom says I have to say goodbye,
she said "darling its ok to cry",
but mommy, daddy, why are you upset?
they said "oh God, I hope she'll forget",
Oh diary,
I hope my best friend will be home quick,
Because he told me, diary, HE told me,
that he wasn't sick.

13 years have passed
But I miss you still
Nobody will ever break the bond
Between a dog and a child
Brown shaggy hair with black spots
He wasn't a purebred with a pedigree
But the fact that people called him a mut
Sure as hell didn't matter to me
He bit me in the head
Every time I remember it I find it funny
He bit me in the same place he was named
But that never stopped me from loving him
To this very day
Sometimes I wonder
What would've happened if that car
Hadn't hit you that day
I wonder
How many years
Would we still have to play
The three years I knew you
Were the grandest ones ever
And in my heart I know we will always be

What of the girl sitting next to him,
blood and blood,
the same empty stare,
The coagulant dust, like mud,
against these leather orange seats.
"My baby, my baby,
tafali, tafali alhulu..."
Now what memory will last
of my mommy's sonorous voice?
Will she return like waves in the night?
Shall I wait forever?

Come lay and be with me my love,
Your love is what I need to have.
With your love as pure as the rain,
Takes away the fear and the pain.
Your touch so soft like the wind,
Cleanse my soul as I come to end.
Now my soul can go straight above,
For I've lived and I fell in love.
Every leaf falls from that old tree,
Like hours falling away from me.
And just like that very old tree,
I shall be remembered to thee.
Now I must leave this world my love,
Spread these wings and go straight above.
My god has been so good to me,
If this is His will let this be.

Stray Bullet!
Stray bullet
Drove me to death
Through the gates of heath
Softly stole my breath
Piercing my tender heart
In a single jot
That was my best part
It is thy sting art
That I did fall
For once and all;
Still I hear cradle's call
Carved on my heart's tender wall
Hurt and pain
Will come again;
Silent tears will rain
Till we are awaken again

Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón said today that his club's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo is officially over. Ronaldo was Real's top transfer target during a summer of protracted speculation after his 42 goals helped Manchester United win the Premier League and Champions League double. The attention appeared to unsettle Ronaldo and it prompted United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to claim Real "have no moral issues at all".
Ferguson eventually kept hold of the Portuguese player and Calderón has now claimed that Real will not inquire again until United are prepared to sell. "It is forgotten, not only for January but forever," said Calderón. "We would only talk about it if Manchester decide they want to sell him. But the matter is over. We talked about it last season. Manchester decided not to sell the player and we don't want to do anything against a club like Manchester.
"Madrid is not doing anything to disturb a 'friend club' like Manchester. We are two very big clubs. We want to be good friends forever. We are in the same market. I have a lot of respect for Manchester. I have a good relationship with [Manchester United chief executive] David Gill and I want it to be like that for a long time."
Ronaldo now has his sights set on making history by helping United become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League title. "The summer has passed and what I had to say I said it," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I am at Manchester and I want to win again with Manchester."
Calderón also provided a brief insight into the value Milan will derive from signing former Real midfielder David Beckham on loan, if they can secure the deal. "He is a very well-known player. He is a player who can give a lot to the club he signs for," the Real president added.

Clint Dempsey may have endured a difficult loan spell at Fulham this winter, but US national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann believes the player's hard work at the relegation-threatened club is paying off now.
Klinsmann, speaking about several USMNT-related topics on Wednesday, discussed his captain's impact so far this MLS season with the Seattle Sounders, where he's scored six goals and three assists in five appearances.
"[I'm] very happy that Clint has picked up the rhythm and find his confidence and is part of almost every goal that Seattle scores. That's really a good sign, it's great for us going into the final weeks before we hit the preparation for the World Cup knowing that he's building his confidence more and more and more," he said.
"And it's due to his hard work that he put in for January, February, being at Fulham. It was not a successful time, but he built a foundation for the months afterward so he seems to now at the right time, at the right spot."
The US boss also discussed the tricky balance in the weeks leading up to the World Cup between protecting players from injury and ensuring they are at peak fitness in Brazil.
"You hope that everybody stays healthy," Klinsmann said. "You always forgive a bad performance. Bad performances, everybody has those, everybody can have a bad day. But first and foremost you want them to stay healthy from now on because if a new injury now happens, you have pretty much no chance to recover any more before the World Cup.
"At the same time you also want to play with the right intensity, with the right seriousness and sharpness and you don't want them to hold back, because there's no way [when] we go into camp to hold back in the training session because it's going to be all full speed and intense so you want them to be prepared in the best way possible and the best way is to play at your maximum potential," he added.
Along with the preparations for the full senior team, taking the lion's share of the spotlight this year, for good reason, Klinsmann and US Soccer are already laying the groundwork for future US national team development with the establishment of the U-21 age group, who are first looking to the 2016 Olympics.
"It's exciting to see the future Olympic team come together [for] the first time," he explained. "We call them right now the U-21 cycle because officially it's not the Olympic team cycle yet, but it's really, really important that we get our hands around these guys, telling them where their path should lead to. Obviously the big goal is Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and then also their path towards the senior national team."
Though U-20 head coach and senior team assistant coach Tab Ramos is taking the lead with the U-21s, Klinsmann indicated he is involved in conversations with the younger players already.
"I told them, 'Listen, from now on going forward you're observed by us, you're watched by us and we're always connected, so whenever you have a question, call, text or whatever. You're always free to connect [to] us or contact us directly.' I think it's important for them to understand at that age, 19 or 20 years of age, that they start to take things in their own hands and they're not just waiting until people tell them what they should do next.
"So I told them, 'Listen, you've got to step it up if you want to be part of the national team program and the national team program is about the elite players of a country, then you've got to do more than anybody else in your environment.' So they get a couple of bullet points on their way over the next few days and we coaches, we're just excited that we have the first opportunity to work with them."

Whether Europe's most troubled economies have the political will to tackle record deficits will preoccupy investors in Western Europe in 2010, along with Britain's election and potential overspill from emerging market crises.
Meanwhile, the continent could face a rising risk of social unrest as well as ongoing government intervention in the private sector, both legacies of the economic crisis.
Deficits, austerity measures and 'PIIGS'
Greece's attempt to reassure markets while placating its own populace and cutting government expenditures looks to be an early example of what will be a key theme of Western European politics this year as economies wind down stimulus packages and aim for austerity.
The euro zone's weakest economies - the so-called PIIGS of Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain - look to be most under the hammer, although each approaches the crisis in different ways. Trouble in one could affect sentiment towards the wider euro zone. Ireland has been praised for its brutal cuts, while Greece is out on a limb.
What to watch :
- Do bond markets continued to pressure the PIIGS?
- Is Greece forced to announce a new round of austerity measures to regain market confidence?
- Credit ratings moves. In the absence of any other external arbiter such as the IMF or World Bank, the agencies have acquired much greater importance and look to be on a collision course with Spain and Portugal as well as Greece
--Comments from German or other EU policymakers on potential support for peripheral states in the event of a crisis. Markets broadly assume an "implied guarantee" but would need reinsurance in the event of a market slump
- Is there any political backlash against central banks as they begin to withdraw billions of dollars in stimulus support?
British election
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown must call elections before June 2010, with the prospect of political instability and policy uncertainty already unnerving markets, particularly sterling. With Britain's credit rating potentially under pressure if it does not address its own budget deficit, markets still want more policy clarity from the presumed victors, Conservative party leader David Cameron and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne.
But opinion polls show the Conservative lead over Labour narrowing, raising the prospect of either a hung parliament with no one in overall control or a small minority of either side that could make governing all but impossible.
What to watch :
- When does the election come? Most predict early May, but the narrowing poll gap has prompted media speculation of an earlier poll.
- Does the poll lead continue to narrow? If it does, markets will have to factor in a greater chance of a hung parliament and that could hit the pound.
- Does the economy recover? Mr. Brown will be hoping for a visibly recovering economy to boost his reelection chances.
- Post-election ratings action. Ratings agencies look unlikely to move before, but could take swift measures after if they do not believe the deficit is coming under control.
Unrest and populism
High unemployment coupled with almost continent-wide public spending cuts - as well ongoing economy measures at private firms - look likely to boost social and industrial unrest, particularly in Western Europe, where austerity measures will generally begin in 2010.
Greek communists have already called strikes in protest against the government's latest cuts, while British Airways is only the latest private company to be battling threatened strike action.
Nevertheless, social unrest in emerging Europe - which had to make the cuts much earlier to conform to IMF and EU bailout conditions - has risen less sharply than many predicted. More likely than widespread chaos is that governments will be keen to take popular steps to stem discontent - for example, by targeting bankers' bonuses.
What to watch :
- What happens to unrest in Greece. So far, recent protests have been well below the level of widespread riots last year. A bellwether for other countries?
- Heightened industrial unrest in Britain both in the runup to elections and also particularly after any transition to a Conservative administration.
Intervention in the private sector
Austria's nationalization of Hypo Group Alpe Adria - reportedly for fear its collapse might spark a "Lehman effect" in emerging Europe - is a reminder state intervention in the private sector remains high.
France, Britain, Greece and others have tapped into public anger to tax bankers bonuses despite warnings it would undermine their financial sectors.
Possibly mindful of marginal constituencies in the British Midlands ahead of next year's election, Business Secretary Peter Mandelson has weighed into the potential takeover or job firm Cadbury by U.S. giant Kraft, arguing the state-funded Royal Bank of Scotland should not be backing the purchase.
What to watch :
- A likely increase in rhetoric from policymakers across a range of private sector industries.
- Are "one-off" taxes against banks repeated, and are there any signs of financiers fleeing London and Paris for other centres?
Emerging overspill
Nearby emerging markets offer a range of risks that could easily spill over into Western Europe, with the risk of further defaults or restructuring from Ukraine and Dubai top of the list, both essentially political decisions by ruling elites.
But several faltering IMF deals in Eastern Europe - potentially undermined further by upcoming elections - could also spark crises that could hurt European banks and potentially even drag down the euro.
What to watch :
- How much support did Dubai get from fellow emirate Abu Dhabi?
- Does Ukraine's Jan. 17 presidential election lead to more political stability, or are parliamentary elections going to prolong paralysis well into next year?
- Does Latvia's government collapse in the runup to October parliamentary elections, potentially prompting a new crisis and threatening the currency peg?

On Wednesday of this week, the State Race Track Leasing Commission was scheduled to approve a new request for proposals for a new lease of the Del Mar track. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, the track's current operator, is expected to be the favored, if not the only, bidder for the concession. Apparently taking no chances, the club has been spreading around political contributions to state legislators and legislative hopefuls. December beneficiaries included Democratic senatorial hopeful Juan Vargas, who got $500; GOP senator Mark Wyland ($1500 for the year); and Democratic assemblywoman Mary Salas ($2000 for the year).

Riders 'on trial' to raise charity funds
4:46pm Friday 11th July 2014
4:46pm Friday 11th July 2014
FOLLOWING hard on the heels of a successful charity trial in Farndale, Hull AC ran the Jack Howden Trophy Charity Trial, incorporating the East Yorks Centre Championship and Inter Club Team Trial.
A massive entry of 124 riders converged on the fantastic Hill House venue to ride two nine mile laps of 25 sections plotted by the hard working crew of the club. All proceeds raised were for the local communities.
Northallerton's Guy Kendrew was in terrific form to win by ten marks from Yarm`s Tom Affleck and York's Tom Hick.
Leavening's Adam Milner only got it together after a poor first lap stung him. Hutton le Hole's Tom Wood won Intermediate, to head Jon Taylor and John Benton home and Scarborough's Alan Carr edged out riding mate York's Mark Coulson to win Clubman A. Scarborough's Callum Williamson, riding an Ossa, helped Guisborough D.M.C. lift the team award with Eboracum M.C. second and Guisborough Two third.
Yarm Sherco rider Tom Affleck was in fine form on a gloriously sunny Saturday night to win the fourth and final round of Guisborough club's Summer Trials from Guisborough's all rounder Jonathon Taylor. Held at the popular Skelder Farm, Affleck produced an unpenalised ride to hold off the strong challenge from Taylor, Taylor losing his three marks on the first two sections In the Intermediate class Guisborough's Paul Wheatley lost out as Danby's Andy Jackson produced a cracking ride to win.
It proved tight in Clubman classes as Whitby's Mike Noble and Scarborough's Alan Carr could not be split in As, edging motocross rider Stevie Hind into third and Middlesbrough's Phil Manton and Glaisdale's Andrew Dale kept a clean sheet to head Class B.
Weardale Motor Club held their latest Saturday Afternoon Trial last weekend at Dursand Quarry, near Stanhope in County Durham.
Thirty-four riders had a choice of Clubman, Easy or Very Easy sections to choose from. Colin Ward cleaned the Clubman Route, but had to share the win with son Travis and Dale Whittaker, while John Bennett missed out after a couple of dabs spoilt his day. Gary Bloodworth did likewise on the Easy Course with a faultless ride, but Rob Lowery pushed him all the way until an errant two in section nine cost him his chance.

Couloir - Permanently Closed Ratings and Reviews
The restaurant has considered every detail to make the evening rememberable. Cocoa or Bailey's for the gindola ride up, an amazing view of the mountain while dining, an attentive, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, and of course the food was outstanding - fresh, innovative, well seasoned entrees. Wine pairings are a nice treat if you are able to afford it.
There is probably not a better view to any restaurant around. At the top of Jackson hole. But the portion size for a bowl of soup that is not even a four ounce ladle is just wrong. After everyone ordered an appetizer and a main course, they were still hungry. That should just not happen. With the prices that they charge and I realize its at the top of the mountain, you can make the portion size a little bigger.
Fantastic restaurant! Can't beat the views and the food was exceptional. The portions weren't large but my companion and I were both completely full by the end of the fixed menu. We also did the wine pairing and the pairings were both unique and exceptional!
Overall a great experience. The ambiance was lacking and the lighting was too bright - including cheap track lighting with spot lights killing the vibe. There were some waiters that were giving people the royal treatment - Sauternes with the foie gras, cookies for the gondola ride back, etc. - but I had to remind out waiter of these perks. A bit expensive, but nothing too crazy.
Poised on top of a hill (reachable via ski gondola), with the town of Jackson and the mountain range in view, Coloir provides one of the most unique and amazing fine dining experiences anywhere. They have a full menu and impressive wine list, but I would encourage anyone to try the 4 or 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was phenomenal and the wine pairings - with inclusions from Alsace, Austria, Tuscany, Loire Valley and Burgundy - were extremely well done. The service was outstanding, and each course was presented along with a detailed explanation from the sommelier regarding the wine. If you are a foodie and like the view from the top of an 8,000 foot peak while dining, you will love Coloir.
Couloir is perfect for a special occasion or treat for those who enjoy fine dining. The experience starts by riding the gondola; arrive before dark to get the best views. Have a drink at the bar while waiting for your table and stare out the huge windows at the Tetons.
We got the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings. All the staff we met explained the courses and wines to us. It was delicious. Then we rode the gondola down with night views of the valley. Great experience.
We spent President's week with our family staying at Teton Village on a ski vacation. On Friday we gathered a group of 9 to meet for a 12:15pm reservation at Coulier. The restaurant is located at the top of the gondola, so if you are not skiing and have a reservation for lunch, you have to purchase a $20 scenic pass just to take the gondola up to the restaurant. I was unaware of the charge so that took me by surprise. When making a reservation via Internet or phone that specific detail should have been included. The location of the restaurant offers a stunning view of the landscape with floor to ceiling windows in the main room of the restaurant. Upon arrival, our table was originally located in the back of the restaurant which offered only limited views, however I only had to request a change of table and the manager swiftly arranged another table in the main room. The menu was somewhat limited but the selection provided many favorable choices for lunch including short ribs, cheese board, seared tuna and also offered a children's menu. Overall a wonderful experience.
The service and view were great. The food was way overpriced and sub-par. They made us pick a 4 or 7 course option. This wasn't stated on the menu when we selected this restaurant. Combined with a bottle of wine it was over $300 for the 2 of us. Several of the courses were so greasy we couldn't even finish them. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other much better options in the village.
Seven minute gondola ride to the top. Portions were perfect in terms of being satisfied without being stuffed although we heard a few people in the gondola complain about the portions being small for the price. Quality of the food was excellent. Preparations were unusual but not so unusual that we felt out of our comfort zone. We happened to be there the day a huge storm literally shut down the mountain but the staff were reassuring - and told us we had time for dessert before we had to head down the mountain. We went up in the gondola again the next day and ate at Piste - a more casual eatery that was also very good.
This actually would be a 4 1/2 stars review, if I could mark 1/2 stars.
We had a great evening at Couloir. We ordered their 5-course Valentine's dinner with wine pairings.
We don't go out to eat much because we cook really good food at home. So when we go out, we search for food that's so delicious it makes you linger over each bite. Some of Couloir's dishes were real standouts: the oysters starter, the fois gras, the fennel salad, and the walu main. The wine pairings, for the most part, were fantastic.
Service was excellent. An added benefit was sitting at a window table and watching the groomers work in a blizzard all through dinner. The ride up the gondola to dinner is festive with the blanket, hot chocolate and whiskey, but it would have been even better if we'd had a blanket for the ride down, too.
Highly recommended; though expensive, it was well worth it, especially for a special occasion.
Hard to believe you can find food this good 10,000 feet above sea level in the middle of nowhere. Check the weather forecast, then book a table when the sun is going to be shining. If it's foggy, your plate will still look spectacular, but you'll miss out on the incredible view out the window.
I've been eating here a few times a years for several years, and the recent menu change was very disappointing. The menu seemed more geared for dinner and not lunch. What we ordered was still very good, and the service was great, but I don't think the food was worth the price. The waitress told me the menu was changed to make it more upscale and to "protect their brand". She said the restaurant was too busy in seasons past and the changes would help with the traffic. Well, they succeeded because at 12:30 on one of the busiest weekends of the year, the restaurant was half full.
I'm heading back up for Spring break, and we will not be heading back to Couloir.
Great on-mountain gourmet dining with spectacular views (inside Rendezvous @ the top of the gondola), great service (Katie's the best!), and excellent food. Squash soup and pear galette are standouts, but everything we had on 2 trips (lunches) was very good. No good champagne by the glass, but 1/2 bottles of Veuve.
The experience we had at Couloir was extraordinary, starting with the gondola ride up to the restaurant. We were offered a blanket as well as a beverage for the ride - hot chocolate, Baileys, or Irish whiskey. Once we arrived to the restaurant, everyone was extremely welcoming and they kindly hung our coats, then seated at our corner table. As far as dinner, we chose a 4-course dinner and a bottle of wine (vs. the pairings) - that meant choosing one dish from the three sections of the menu and then a dessert. Both my husband and I thought it was enough food, for sure. They start each table with an amuse-bouche which was delicious and another yummy light "soup" in between our first and second courses. Every single one of our courses was not just beautiful in its presentation, they were full of many amazing flavors which blended extremely well. Truly incredible and delicious. The wine list was great - we did not have a problem finding a really yummy bottle of Shiraz (Torbreck) to go with the varying flavors. Our waiter, Phil, was really fabulous and so personable, which we appreciated. Ben, the manager, was walking around from table to table, making sure everything was ok and just having a chat. Wes Hamilton, the Executive Chef, was also visible around the restaurant and stopped by our table - he was extremely down to earth and very humble - really, really impressive.
Dinner was outsranding. Fois Gras was amazing, shades of Strasburg. Service was hampered by a large party with excessive demands on kitchen. All 7 courses were excellent and management more then attentive to the issues caused by large party. 3rd visit and worth any accommodation.
Chef Wes Hamilton and the entire Couloir team are incredible. The Chef's Table was absolutely one of the best and most fun dining experiences of our lives and something we would recommend to anyone. If you come to Jackson Hole, you must eat at Couloir. We will be back every year.
unfortunately it was snowing and the view wasn't what we hoped for but the food and service was amazing. We dined at several local favorites in Jackson but this place was by far our favorite! We made our reservation in advance and I would recommend making a reservation if you are planning on having dinner especial on the weekend but the lunch menu was delicious
Couloir had a very interesting and unique menu that made the experience very pleasant. The four course menu was more than enough food for all. Service was impeccable with a courteous and attentive staff. The wine list was light and there is no corkage, perhaps this is something they might consider.
Everything about our dinner was AMAZING!
Our waiter, Phil, was very knowledgeable and friendly.
The food was world class and presented beautifully.
We have eaten at several fine dinning establishments in Jackson Hole and this restaurant is by far the best we have experienced!
We are very happy with choosing Couloir for our anniversary.
Once again, Couloir's menu for this season hits all the high points! We went opening night and it did not disappoint. If the ambiance and view weren't enough to take your breath away, just wait until you take your first bite! If you're in town for a visit, do NOT miss a chance to dine here.
As a local I am used to the view and the Gondola, but I continue to be impressed by the staff and the food meets or beats all the other well know restaurants in the valley. That is not an easy statement when the completion includes Four Seasons, Amangani and SRG! But quite simply Couloir does a truly amazing job. Kudos guys!
First time probably the last I will ever go to dinner via a gondola. Views were epic as you would expect. Dining room very comfortable. Waiter great. Food fantastic! We all like to share our food and it was all wonderful. Portions perfect. Presentation perfect. The wine was all great. Cannot say enough about this dining experience.

Difference Between Black and Very Black Mascara
Black vs Very Black Mascara
Mascara is one of the most important and popular cosmetics used by women to enhance their eyes in seconds. It is easy to use; it has dramatic effect on the eyes, is easy and convenient to carry, and changes the appearance of a person in just two simple strokes. Blondes, redheads, and other women with light hair prefer to wear dark mascaras to make their eyes pop out, their lashes look bigger, thicker, lengthier, and more attractive.
Mascaras are available in a variety of shades. They are available in three different forms; creams, cakes, and liquids. They usually contain waxes, oils, pigments for colors like carbon black for a black color and iron oxides for brownish colors and preservatives. They are sold as waterproof or simple mascaras. Sometimes "ultramarine" is also used for blue mascaras, and the FDA prohibits the use of coal and tar. The oils used for mascaras include oils like, sesame oil, lanolin, castor oil, eucalyptus oil, etc. The waxes used are; beeswax, carnauba wax, and paraffin. The water resistant mascaras contain dodecane which rebuffs water, and other mascaras have ingredients which are water soluble. The mascaras which curl or lengthen the lashes usually have nylon microfibers and rayon microfibers, and to stiffen the lashes the ingredients used are methyl or ceresin, etc.
Black and Very Black Mascara
Mascaras are available in many colors, but the most common are black and very black mascaras. Black mascara gives a gentler, subtle look, and very black mascara gives an almost liquid ebony look. Black mascara is a simple black with some having tints of brown, gray, and deep blue or purple. But very black mascara is only black. It has no other tint visible. It is believed that people with dark-colored eyes should mostly go for very black mascara whereas people with brown eyes can play with many different shades or a black mascara with other tints. It is a fashion trend to wear lighter and black mascara for day wear to give a more natural and light look and very black mascara in the evenings to give a more mature, grown-up, and darker look. Very black mascaras are used to give a "smoky look" which is very popular evening wear. It is usually worn to give a more seductive look and to make the eyes look the most prominent in the whole face which makes the eyes the primary focus of attention.
1. Very black mascaras are very dark black and usually give the impression of being black; black mascaras are black mascara with tints of colors which are visible as simple black, dark browns, dark purples, dark blues, dark grays, etc.
2. Very black mascaras are usually worn in the evenings to give a more grown-up look; black mascaras are worn along with lighter shades in day wear to give a more natural look.

I've been struggling with my sugar cookies losing their shape after I bake them. Here's my process- I chill the dough. Then, I roll it out and chill it for a half hour. Then, I cut out the cookies and freeze them for 15 minutes to an hour. Then, I bake them. All this work and they're still misshapen. What am I doing wrong?
Reduce or leave out the baking powder to help your cookies keep their shape when baking. The recipe I use calls for 2 teaspoons of baking power I only use 1/2 a teaspoon.
It must be something in your recipe. Or over chilling, if that's possible? I roll out my cookies, cut and place the pan in the freezer for 10 min before putting them in the oven and haven't had an issue. They say that chilled dough keeps them from spreading so perhaps too much baking powder?
I do TONS of cookies and they are perfect. Here's what I do... I leave out all baking soda/powder from my recipe. After I cut out the shapes, I put the entire tray in the freezer while I'm working on the next tray. Then go straight from freezer to oven. I leave them in the freezer about 15 minutes.
Do the cookies still taste as tender when you leave out baking powder/soda? Or do they just not puff up as much? Does the egg still help the dough puff a little?
I love the taste of my cookies...but I also use more almond & vanilla that asked for. They are firm with chewy centers. They do not puff up hardly at all...and with little they do..goes back down doing the cooling process.
sometimes I add a bit more flour...and you can recut with the cutter when they come out of the oven too.
I don't use any baking powder or baking soda in my recipe. It calls for 1 cup of butter, 1 egg, 1 cup of sugar, 2 1/2 cups of flour and 2 1/2 t. of vanilla. I chilled the dough 15 minutes and they still spread like crazy.
I'm not talking about chilling the dough....I chill (freeze) the cookies after they have been cut out. Is that what you are doing?
AAdd another 1/2 cup of flour.
Agree with Sassy...I use 3 cups of flour and 1 egg...1 1/2 c. sugar, 2 sticks butter, 1 T vanilla and 2 tsp almond.
I chill the cut-out cookies. I'll try your recipe and see if it works. Thanks!
I use this recipe for my shaped sugar cookies, and they come out absolutely perfect every time. You don't even have to chill the dough for long if you use the parchment paper method listed in the recipe. And they taste fabulous, I always get rave reviews!
LoveMeSomecake.. That's very close to just doubling my recipe....minus the baking powder. I don't find 2tsp of vanilla is near enough for that large of a batch of dough and I must have almond. I do remember it sure didn't spread but it wasn't as chewy as I like either. My recipe came off of the back of some wilton cutters...but I increased the flour to 3 c...and omitted the baking soda. So I guess it's not a wilton recipe anymore! LOL
ddaigle: absolutely! ensure the retention of the shapes by minimal change of the dough during cooking. When you first pull the cookies out of the oven and find a bubble on top, or a small misshape, use a stainless spatula and gently guide the hot dough back into shape.......gently.
Jackie: Well dang me! I thought 'I' was so darn inventive. I got tired of washing Silpat silicone baking mats, so I pulled out parchment sheets, (not rolls) and never looked back. The only thing I would add is to always use a fresh unwrinkled sheet of parchment underneath the dough (so it's not wrinkled or misshapen by the previous rolling process.)
HINT: Rolling Out Dough Without the Mess
- Rather than wait for your cookie dough to chill, take the freshly made dough and place a glob between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Roll it out to the desired thickness then place the dough and paper on a cookie sheet and pop it into the refrigerator.
- Continue rolling out your dough between sheets of paper until you have used it all. By the time you are finished, the first batch will be completely chilled and ready to cut.
- Reroll leftover dough and repeat the process! An added bonus is that you are not adding any additional flour to your cookies.
AI use that Rolling Out Dough Tip too! Parchment can get expensive though, so I roll one glob of dough between two parchments, put in fridge, then one glob between two sheets of wax paper, put in fridge, and so forth. Don't stack rolled out sheets of dough in wax paper on top of another rolled out sheet of dough in wax paper because when they chill they stick to each other and crack when trying to break free. So do every other. Wax, parchment, wax, parchment.
Also, I agree with Sassy and ddaigle above to add 1/2 cup of flour to your recipe. That is the exact recipe I use and I have no problems and a booming side business:)
AI have added a shortbread recipe to my repertoire, which of course, uses no leavening agents. I have had an awesome response. Only thing is that butter can go rancid if the cookie is not consumed in a very timely fashion. So I switch between this and another recipe that has very little leavening. Just depends on if I am shipping or not.
