Hello dear readers! I said I would be back,and here I am,with an incredibly gaudy-looking mani,because I couldn't restrain myself when it comes to glitter.
For the index and middle finger I started out with a base of L'Oreal Water's Edge. I painted my middle and pinky fingers with Essence Hard to Resist,which is navy blue polish with subtle purple shimmer.
As you can see,there is the green glitter on the left. In this bag you will find open heart-shaped glitter,and to my surprise,there are also small whole hearts.I used both types for this manicure.
On the right is some gorgeous purple iridescent glitter that is star-shaped.Two types of glitter,one is open,and the other is a smaller star shape.They look like they fit together,like pieces of a puzzle. When I first saw it,it brought to mind doughnuts and doughnut holes.
I enjoyed doing this mani. As with most glitter,I get the "deer in the headlights" look,when I catch sight of it,and therefore,I am usually a goner,and just start slapping it on there like so much confetti. In this case I wished I had a bit more self-control.
What I really love about this glitter though, is you are getting two types of glitter wether it is hearts or stars.You get the open-shaped larger glitter,and the smaller whole hearts and stars together in one bag. I haven't seen this with other glitters I've purchase like this.
You will be able to purchase this glitter and other colors too,when datyorkLOVES opens her Glitterland shop on the August 17th.

Nike Football (the non-hand-egg division) just showed us that All Conditions can be a benefit for releases beyond the ACG collection, so how else might we see that immortal outdoor line's benefits extended to other releases? In the case of the Nike Roshe Run Trail, distinctive colorways on suede and mesh midtops make for a stylish and supremely comfortable offroad option. A purple and green-accented edition we'd previewed back in April reveals more of a two-toned upper while the other has a bit of Chicago Bulls DNA and they're both available now at Nike Sportswear stockists like Rock City Kicks.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The Fitzgerald Theater
Saint Paul, MN«archive page
Guest Information
Chris Coleman
Born and raised in St. Paul — one of seven children in an Irish-American family — Chris Coleman is passionate about his hometown. After several years as a city councilmember, he was elected mayor in 2005. He's now beginning his third term in office. He told one reporter, "I get up every day going, 'What do we do today to make St. Paul better?'" In his spare time, Mayor Coleman studies classical guitar and has been known to play the bagpipes — in kilts.
"Ethno-chaos" — that's how the musicians of Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha describe their style. Starting out in 2004 as a theater project in Kiev, this avant-garde world-music group (whose name means give and take) combines native Ukrainian folk motifs and ideas from Africa, Bulgaria, Hungary, Australia, India, and beyond. With a sound that's wildly experimental yet steeped tradition, the four are wowing audiences worldwide. Their recordings include 2010's Light. DakhaBrakha is: Nina Garenetska, Iryna Kovalenko, Olena Tsybulska, and Marko Halanevych.
Hilary Thavis
Funny how things come together. Born in Rome, Italy, to parents from Minnesota, Hilary Thavis grew up loving music — especially folk music — from Woody Guthrie to Italian folk singers like Fabrizio De André and Francesco De Gregori. But it was the blues that ultimately captured her attention. Trouble & Truth is the 2011 recording from her band Gaia Groove. Now making her home in the Twin Cities, Hilary is working on a solo album of original songs.
Garrison Keillor
Garrison Keillor was born in Anoka, graduated from the University of Minnesota ('66), and lives in St. Paul. He is the author of numerous books, including Pilgrims: A Wobegon Romance, and O, What A Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound (Grove Press), and the editor of several anthologies of poetry, including Good Poems: American Places (Viking).
The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band
Keyboardist, composer, and arranger Richard Dworsky is music director for A Prairie Home Companion. He has also accompanied Garrison Keillor on U.S. and European concert tours and has collaborated with numerous other performers, including Al Jarreau and singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth. Among his many CDs is So Near and Dear to Me (Prairie Home Productions).
Chet Atkins called Pat Donohue (guitar) one of the greatest fingerpickers in the world today. And he writes songs too — recorded by Suzy Bogguss, Kenny Rogers, and others. Nobody's Fault and Vicksburg Blues (a collaboration with Butch Thompson) are the most recent of Pat's albums.
Gary Raynor (bass) has performed with the Count Basie band and Sammy Davis Jr., with whom he toured for several years. He was first call for dozens of touring Broadway shows, including the first presentation of The Lion King. Gary teaches at the McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul.
Peter Johnson (percussion) has played klezmer music with Doc Severinsen and jazz with Dave Brubeck. He was a drummer for The Manhattan Transfer and for Gene Pitney. He has toured the world, but he always comes back to home base: Saint Paul.
When Richard Kriehn turned 10, his mom bought him a mandolin; at 19, he'd won the Buck White International Mandolin Contest. He went on to play with the Nashville Mandolin Ensemble and bluegrass group 1946. On the classical side, he has performed with numerous orchestras and was principal second violin for the Washington/Idaho Symphony.
Guitarist Dean Magraw studied at the University of Minnesota and the Berklee School of Music in Boston. His first recording, 1994's Broken Silence, won the NAIRD award for Best Acoustic Instrumental Album of the Year. Dean has since turned out a bunch of dazzling albums, including his latest, Reservoir (Acoustic Music Records), a collaboration with Sándor Szabó.
Fred Newman
Sound effects man Fred Newman is an actor, writer, musician, and sound designer for film and TV. He is author of the book (and CD/CD-ROM) MouthSounds. Fred admits that, growing up, he was unceremoniously removed from several classrooms, "once by my bottom lip."
Tim Russell
One minute he's mild-mannered Tim Russell; the next he's George Bush or Julia Child or Barack Obama. We've yet to stump this man of many voices. In other roles, Tim played the part of Al, the stage manager, in the Robert Altman film A Prairie Home Companion and a detective in the Coen brothers' A Serious Man.
Sue Scott
On APHC, Sue Scott plays everything from ditzy teenagers to Guy Noir stunners to leathery crones who've smoked one pack of Camel straights too many. The Tucson, Arizona, native is well known for her extensive commercial and voice-over work on radio and television, as well as movie and stage roles.
Old Sweet Songs: A Prairie Home Companion 1974-1976
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane).

The study of statistics revolves around the study of data sets.
This lesson describes two important types of data sets -
populations and samples.
Along the way, we introduce simple random sampling, the main method
used in this tutorial to select samples.
The main difference between a population and sample has to do with how
observations are assigned to the data set.
Depending on the sampling method, a sample can have fewer observations than
the population, the same number of observations, or more observations.
More than one sample can be derived from the same population.
Other differences have to do with nomenclature, notation, and computations.
For example,
A sampling method
is a procedure for selecting sample elements from a population.
Simple random sampling refers to a sampling method that has the
following properties.
An important benefit of simple random sampling is that it allows researchers to use
statistical methods to analyze sample results. For example, given a simple random
sample, researchers can use statistical methods to define a
confidence interval around a sample mean. Statistical
analysis is not appropriate when non-random sampling methods are used.
There are many ways to obtain a simple random sample. One way would be the
lottery method. Each of the N population members is assigned a unique
number. The numbers are placed in a bowl and thoroughly mixed. Then, a
blind-folded researcher selects n numbers. Population members having the
selected numbers are included in the sample.
In practice, the lottery method described above can be cumbersome, particularly
with large sample sizes. As an alternative, use Stat Trek's Random Number
Generator. With the Random Number Generator, you can select up to 1000 random
numbers quickly and easily. This tool is provided at no cost - free!! To access
the Random Number Generator, simply click on the button below.
It can also be found under the Stat Tools
tab, which appears in the header of every Stat Trek web page.
Suppose we use the lottery method described above to select a simple random
sample. After we pick a number from the bowl, we can put the number aside or we
can put it back into the bowl. If we put the number back in the bowl, it may be
selected more than once; if we put it aside, it can selected only one time.
When a population element can be selected more than one time, we are
sampling with replacement.
When a population element can be selected only
one time, we are sampling without replacement.
Problem 1
Which of the following statements are true?
I. The mean of a population is denoted by x.
II. Sample size is never bigger than population size.
III. The population mean is a statistic.
(A) I only.
(B) II only.
(C) III only.
(D) All of the above.
(E) None of the above.
The correct answer is (E), none of the above.
The mean of a population is denoted by μ; not x. When
sampling with replacement, sample size can be greater than population size. And
the population mean is a parameter; the sample mean is a statistic.

In the United States, approximately one-third of the population will consume nuts on any given day, according to a September 2008 article published in "The Journal of Nutrition." Dry-roasted peanuts are good sources of essential nutrients, including phosphorus, manganese, copper and folate. These delicious legumes may also provide some of the same health benefits as nuts, including lowering your risk for heart disease.
Heart Health
Eating nuts and dry-roasted peanuts may help lower your cholesterol levels, decrease the risk of blood clots and help keep your arteries healthy, thus limiting your risk for heart disease, according to MayoClinic.com. This is due to the healthy components that they contain, including unsaturated fats, fiber, the amino acid l-arginine and vitamin E, all of which are beneficial to heart health.
Weight Loss
People sometimes think they need to avoid eating dry-roasted peanuts when they are dieting since these nuts are high in fat. However, diets that include nuts and peanuts are easier to stick with and often result in more weight loss than diets that don't allow people to eat nuts, according to an article published in "The Journal of Nutrition" in September 2008. This doesn't mean you can eat unlimited amounts of nuts and still lose weight, since each ounce of dry-roasted peanuts contains 166 calories, but you can consume them in moderation instead of other foods high in fat and calories.
Other Potential Benefits
While research is still preliminary and results are conflicting, consuming peanuts may also lower your risk for diabetes, cancer and gallstone disease, according to an article published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" in March 2009. This appears to be the case with women, but not necessarily with men, although further research is needed to verify these beneficial effects.
Unsalted dry-roasted peanuts are a better option than salted, as most people consume too much sodium. Consuming 1.5 ounces of peanuts or other nuts per day, which is about a handful, may be necessary to obtain the heart-health benefits of nuts, and these benefits are only likely if you consume an otherwise heart-healthy diet low in saturated fat and high in fruits and vegetables.

Sahlin charged that it is a big loss for democracy that a party with racist roots has a place in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag.
Her attacks on the Sweden Democrats came as she opened the first debate between party leaders in the Riksdag since the country's September 19th general elections.
In his debut at the Riksdag's platform, Åkesson retorted, "Mona Sahlin alleges that my party has racist roots, but it was not my party that initiated eugenics research."
Between 1935 and 1975, a period of nearly uninterrupted rule by the Social Democrats, Sweden sterilized a total of 63,000 people, mostly women, as part of a programme based on eugenics research with the aim of weeding out "inferiors" to create a stronger Swedish race.
Åkesson added that Sahlin should clean up the debate instead, but that did not deter her attacks.
"The Sweden Democrats are an un-Swedish phenomenon and should remain so. The Sweden Democrats are a party sprung out of the white power and racist movements," she continued.
She also argued that the Sweden Democrats are a simple-minded party with a single agenda: to pit group against group and attack immigration.
Sahlin also pointed out that the country is now led by a minority government that needs to seek support in the Riksdag.
"We are prepared to work with the government when it benefits the country. However, we will offer strong opposition when the government's policies are heading in the wrong direction. One such issue is decent health insurance, another is jobs," she said.
Other parties continued with the attacks against Åkesson.
Liberal Party leader Jan Björklund wondered why the Sweden Democrats are against government efforts to create entry-level job for immigrants, under which the state would provide a large part of the employer's contribution.
The Sweden Democrats called the proposal "discrimination against Swedes."
"There are no jobs and they do not seem to create enough jobs either," said Åkesson, arguing that the major issue is immigration.
"The single most important integration policy measure is to stop the influx of newly unemployed, then we can begin to integrate in a sensible way," he added.
However, Björklund could not understand the Sweden Democrats' reasoning.
"The result of your policy will increase unemployment among immigrants and it is incomprehensible, unless you think that increased unemployment benefits your policy," he said.
Sweden would be a poorer country without diversity and the multitude of impressions that have influenced Sweden throughout the years, said Green Party spokesman Peter Eriksson, who accused the Sweden Democrats of attacking free and open society with their policies.
"The Swedish culture is good when it is open and accepting, not when the maypole and folk costumes become a straitjacket that shrinks with every wash in the Sweden Democrats' laundry room," he said.
Åkesson countered that the Green Party is an extremist party with regard to immigration issues and wondered if the party intends to use blackmail against the government, which it has for a number of years, to get amnesty for refugees.

LONDON (ICIS)--US-based Enterprise Products Partners said on Thursday it has executed an additional long-term contract to provide ethane storage, transportation, refrigeration and loading services from its new ethane export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel, Texas.
According to Enterprise, with this agreement the ethane terminal, which is still under construction, now has long-term commitments for approximately 85% of its capacity.
The terminal is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, said Enterprise. It is located at the company's Morgan's Point facility on the Houston Ship Channel and will be able to load fully refrigerated ethane at a rate of about 10,000 bbl/hour.
The new terminal will be supplied with ethane by an 18-mile long and 24in wide pipeline to be constructed from Enterprise's Mont Belvieu site, also in Texas.
"As a result of this agreement, we have commenced evaluation of expansion options at the new ethane terminal. The seamless integration of the new terminal with our existing natural gas liquids complex at Mont Belvieu [Texas] and beyond will help ensure market access for the growing surplus of domestic ethane and facilitate continued development of the nation's abundant energy reserves," said A.J. Teague, chief operating officer at Enterprise.
Earlier in the day, Enterprise announced its Q2 results showing an increase in net income of 17% on the back of higher volumes.

These GIFs Of 15-Year Old Russian Skater Yulia Lipnitskaya Will Blow Your Mind
Have you been watching the Olympics? Wait, never mind, don't answer that. I need to cling to the hope that everyone else is living their life on the couch like I am for the next two weeks, eating peanut butter right out of the jar while world-class athletes dance in front of my glazed-over eyes.
So assuming that our muscles are atrophying at an identical rate, I bet you were sprawled out in front of your television this past weekend when fifteeen-year old Russian ice skater Yulia Lipnitskaya decided to be the next person to make me feel like a human slug. I know I sure was.
Her performance last night was for the team portion of the ice-skating, and since she was the last person from Team Russia to take the ice, her country had already secured the gold medal before the music even started. So she could have totally phoned it in if she'd wanted (because that's totally a thing that people do at the Olympics, right?) but instead she chose to HIT IT OUT OF THE EFFING PARK with a routine that left me looking for my socks high and low after having them very aggressively knocked off.
Just look at her, you guys. Look at her spins, her spirals. Look at her jumps. Look at how straight her leg is going. This chick is so flexible and talented that the judges actually added on points to her Biellmann spin, pictured above, because they felt she'd nailed it so hard that she deserved a bonus. This little lassie banged it out so professional-like that she only got one deduction, for the little wobble she takes after landing her double toe triple lutz, in the following GIF.
But even with that, she ended up with a score of 141.5, which is not only a personal best, but also around twelve points higher than Gracie Gold, the American skater who came in second.
Deet duh deee, deet duh deeeee, just spinning around. Let me know when I've won the individual gold medal on February 19th and I'll come out of this spin.

Bank of Commerce Holdings (NASDAQ:BOCH) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-03-31.
Bank Of Commerce Holdings has a market cap of $40.8 million; its shares were traded at around $4.69 with a P/E ratio of 7.6 and P/S ratio of 0.8. The dividend yield of Bank Of Commerce Holdings stocks is 5.1%.
Highlight of Business Operations:Focus on Asset Quality and Strong Underwriting. We consider asset quality to be of primary importance and have taken measures to ensure that, despite the turbulent economy and growth in our loan portfolio, we consistently maintain strong asset quality. As part of our efforts, we utilize a third party loan review service to evaluate our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis and recommend action on certain loans if deemed appropriate. As of March 31, 2010, we had $16.7 million in nonperforming assets, including other real estate owned of $3.4 million, which as a percentage of total assets was 2.02%. We also seek to maintain a prudent allowance for loan losses, which at March 31, 2010 was $12.2 million, representing 2.0% of our loan portfolio.
In April 2009, we completed a loan swap transaction, whereby we exchanged, without recourse, $14.0 million in certain nonperforming assets measured at fair value and cash of approximately $67.0 million for a pool of performing ITIN loans with an estimated fair value of $80.7 million. These loans are residential mortgage loans made to United States residents without a social security number and are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. This is our first ITIN loan transaction, and as such, is serviced through a third party. Worsening economic conditions in the United States may cause us to suffer higher default rates on our ITIN loans and reduce the value of the assets that we hold as collateral. In addition, if we are forced to foreclose and service these ITIN properties ourselves, we may realize additional monitoring, servicing and appraisal costs due to the geographic dispersement of the portfolio which would adversely affect our noninterest expense.
On November 14, 2008, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $17.0 million, we issued and sold to the Treasury pursuant to the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase Program the following: (i) 17,000 shares of our newly designated Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (Series A Preferred Stock) and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 405,405 shares of our common stock, no par value per share, at an exercise price of $6.29 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The warrant may be exercised for up to ten years after issuance.

Something is broken, writes Daniel Greenfield.
but it isn't broken among the Romney voters rushing to stock up on assault rifles every time Obama begins threatening their right to buy them; it's broken among Obama's base.Read more here: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/america-doesnt-have-a-gun-problem-it-has-a-gang-problem/
Chicago, where Obama delivered his victory speech, has homicide numbers that match all of Japan and are higher than Spain, Poland and pre-war Syria. Chicago's murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the Illinois' 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.
New Orleans' murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2nd highest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador. Louisiana went red for Romney 58 to 40, but Orleans Parish went blue for Obama 80 to 17.
St. Louis has a murder rate just a little lower than Belize. Baltimore has a worse murder rate than South Africa and Detroit has a worse murder rate than Colombia. Obama won both St. Louis and Baltimore by comfortable margins. He won Detroit's Wayne County 73 to 26.
America's murder rate isn't the work of the suburban and rural homeowners who shop for guns at sporting goods stores and at gun shows, and whom news shows profile after every shooting, but by the gangs embedded in the urban areas controlled by the Democratic machine.
America's horrific murder rate is a result of the transformation of major American cities into Sierra Leone, Somalia, Rwanda and El Salvador. Our murder rate now largely consists of criminals killing criminals.
We do not need to have a conversation about the NRA. We need to have a conversation about Chicago.
Chicago's problem isn't guns; it's gangs. Gun control efforts in Chicago or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico, and trying to cut off their gun supply will be as effective as trying to cut off their drug supply.

Toasted Marshmallow- Brownie Malt Ice Cream
Hurry, make some homemade ice cream before summer ends! Make this one! >> Toasted Marshmallow- Brownie Malt Ice Cream
I've mentioned this story in my cookbook- oh yeah, I have a cookbook! The Recipe Girl Cookbook, which you can still purchase on Amazon if you haven't gotten around to buying it yet! But I'll mention it again for you all (and then you can go buy my cookbook!) My very first job was in a cute little place called, The Penguin in Carson City, Nevada. It was one of those burger and frosty kind of places that you see when you're driving through a small town. I made $2.85/hour and I started working there when I was only 15. It was the best job ever because I got to eat endless amounts of ice cream, burgers and fries galore, and I had frequent visitors from friends. I wonder why?? My very favorite thing to make at The Penguin was a marshmallow malt. Soft serve ice cream + marshmallow syrup + malt powder + milk = THE BEST!!! This ice cream is a tribute to my favorite malt from The Penguin.
Instead of marshmallow syrup, I used real marshmallows. And I toasted them, of course! YUM.
After they were toasted, I melted them into the ice cream base with malt powder mixed in too. After you do that, like any good ice cream base… you need to chill it for quite some time until it is really, really cold. I chilled mine overnight. And then I tried very hard not to drink it with a straw before I poured it into my ice cream maker. That's how good it is!!
When you're toward the end of churning it in your ice cream maker, you toss in crumbled bits of baked brownies. I just made an easy boxed mix and crumbled from there. And there you go- the best ice cream flavor ever!
Sadly, The Penguin closed many years back. The owners were ready to retire, and the gas station next door bought the land to expand the parking lot. I drove by the other day though, and you know what?? It's an empty lot. The gas station tore down the building but never utilized the land. The Penguin could have remained open and made people happy for many more years. Bummer.

Toasted Marshmallow- Brownie Malt Ice Cream
I absolutely love this malted version, but you can leave the malt out if you wish.
32 regular-sized marshmallows
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups half and half
1/2 cup malt powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2 cups brownie pieces (see *Tips below)
1. Place a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat your oven to broil. Place marshmallows on a baking sheet. Broil the marshmallows for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they begin to brown and puff (see the photo above). Remove them from the oven and set them aside.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the whipping cream and half-and-half over medium heat. Once the mixture is warm, add the toasted marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are melted. Whisk in the malt powder, vanilla and salt and stir until the malt is dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer the ice cream base to a covered plastic container and chill for 24 hours.
3. Remove the ice cream base from the refrigerator and give it a few whisks to reincorporate the ingredients. Resist the temptation to grab a straw right then and there and start sipping (because it's delicious!!) Follow your ice cream machine manufacturer's instructions for processing the ice cream. It usually takes 25 to 30 minutes for the ice cream to become creamy and frozen. Add in the brownie pieces just before you're about to turn off the machine, and let the machine mix them in for about a minute. Scrape the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to eat. The ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
*For brownie pieces, I like to just make a package of box brownies from the store and crumble pieces from there. You'll use up about half a recipe.
*Most ice cream machines ask that you freeze the insert for 24 hours prior to processing your ice cream. This is what I recommend too.

The flavours of this ice cream sound fantastic!
I want all those marshmallows! This looks fabulous and your manicure is perfect! Pinned 🙂
This flavor combination has got to be amazing for ice cream. Now I'm feeling like I NEED an ice cream maker…hopefully my wife will agree 🙂
I remember my first job so fondly (smoothie shop), and it's closed now too. I still make some of the smoothie recipes. Yay for celebrating the end of summer, and malt flavor is wonderful (and under-appreciated too!)
OH MY WORD! Lori – this is divine!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!
Oh wow, it doesn't have to be hot outside for me to want this ice cream! One of my favorite ice creams I've veer made was malted vanilla with brownie chunks. Another happened to me s'mores. So I would die at the first taste of this haha
This looks seriously amazing!!
I have this recipe bookmarked in your cookbook! Time to make it! Pinned!
Oh my goodness- this looks FANTASTIC!!
Love the toasted marshmallows in this ice cream!
Oh my gosh! I love fall, but I'll never want summer to end with this ice cream. Looks heavenly!!
I may be ready for fall, but this ice cream is just what the doctor ordered for this hot weekend
I'm so excited – I just bought a new ice cream maker today because my last one stopped working. I totally need to try this!!
Fabulous girl!!
Seriously makes me want to lick the screen!
I need this in my life.
I`ve heard of the delicious toasted marshmallow ice cream. But, wow, brownie malt version? Must be to-die for!
This looks so good! Made mix is in the fridge, and brownies are on the counter (is becoming very hard not to eat while the mix cools). I did not put the malt flavor in as my kids aren't really into malt. Sad for me, but I am sure will turn out delicious! Will post an update after we try!
Oh my gosh I wish I had a big scoop of this! I love the flavors in this ice cream! It's a bummer when a place that holds so many memories for you closes down 🙁 I love this ice cream tribute – it looks absolutely incredible!
The perfect summer job and the perfect end of summer treat!!! This looks soooo good!!
Why can't we be neighbors. Then you could just hand me over a bowl of this delicious ice cream. I'll have to try this one. Looks delish.
Honestly, there's no rush with the ice cream for me: I'll eat ice cream in the dead of winter when I can!
This looks so heavenly! Thank you for sharing!
Just made this and it is beyond amazing, thank you for sharing the recipe.
I just got done making this, along with your 'Fresh Peach Cake' and I have to say they are a wonderful combination together. I put a scoop of this on the side while the cake was warm and it is to die for! The ice cream is so simple, and easy to make. The only down side was I used a entire bag of jumbo marshmallows instead of the recommended amount….and it's too sweet. But that's alright, i'll still eat it!
I figured I should surely come back to post 🙂 I've made this several times this summer, as written, and otherwise, and it is hands down one of the best homemade ice cream recipes I've made. I've done no brownie, no malt, just marshmallow, and with Rice Krispies….tomorrow I'm doing hold the brownie and malt powder and add cookie butter. This has become my tried and true! Thanks so, so much!!

It's called "102.5 The Underground" and it goes parallel to powerhouse 96.5 the Buzz. I think it sounds decent. What do you think of this?
It's called "102.5 The Underground" and it goes parallel to powerhouse 96.5 the Buzz. I think it sounds decent. What do you think of this?
I haven't tuned in yet. I recall a hard alternative on an FM translator a few years ago in KC I forgot what it was called or who owned it - it sounded good against maybe the softer folkier sounds of current alternative. It's always great to see more than one commercial alt. station in a market.
96.5 The Buzz is a nice heritage station in the format. They are currently in the middle of a Leftovers Weekend and just played Replacements "Alex Chilton" into Ben Folds Five "Army" into Bloodhound Gang "The Bad Touch" into Bjork "Human Behaviour." Who gave them direct access to my classic alternative Spotify playlist
It's now X105.1 and on a larger signal. Here are my thoughts:
I'm bias and love The Buzz. I'm out of Atlanta and stream The Buzz along with WEQX. It's true alternative vs what a lot of stations try. The Buzz has been an interesting station to follow after their re-imaging and local support (#SaveTheBuzz campaign). Station shot up in the ratings after the campaign. The Buzz is also very very local.
X105.1 is a bit harder but Cumulus does much better with alternative than Iheart. Cumulus leans newer while Iheart plays with the top hits of alternative and lots of 90s. Cumulus also sneaks in harder alt stuff from the 2ks like System of a Down where as Iheart will not touch it. X105.1 will not dive so quickly into the folkier indie stuff vs The Buzz. However, The Buzz will introduce you to newer artist first. I like the buzz because even though they have a indie/folk side, they are not an AAA station and will still play your industrial music (NIN).
In Atlanta, considering ratings, I would like to see X105.1 style alternative to take out the Iheart Radio 105.7 which is a horrible horrible station.

The Government, in the form of my neighbouring MP Patrick McLoughlin, finally announced the route for the second phase of the new High Speed train network this week.
The train is proposed to follow the M1 corridor and not the A38 one which would have passed through Amber Valley.
Whilst it will be 16 years before we can ride these trains, it should provide a real boost to our economy. We need to ensure that there are good links from our local stations into the HS2 hub just off M1 junction 25.
Last week's announcement of a small fall in economic output was disappointing, but there was also some good news: we saw the strongest annual increase in jobs for over twenty years. Since the Government took office in 2010, over one million private sector jobs have been created, and the deficit has fallen.
Earlier this month we saw Parliament pass the Welfare Uprating Bill, which will see many benefits rise by 1 per cent, per year for the next three years as opposed to in line with inflation.
It's important to point out that Disability Living Allowance and Carers' Allowance will not be affected by these changes – it's vital that those who are unable to care for themselves, and those who care for others, continue to be supported.
Nor does it affect the state pension – our triple-lock guarantee ensures that the elderly will continue to receive increases in the state pension.
The welfare budget currently accounts for more than we spend on education, health and defence combined. That's why it's so important that our welfare system should encourage people to work.
It would be grossly unfair of us to expect hard-working families who pay their taxes and whose standard of living is currently being squeezed, to continue to pay for people who can but don't want to work. Benefits have gone up by around 20 per cent over the last five years, compared to about 12 per cent for wages, which is not an effective way of making work pay. These necessary changes complement the Government's wider welfare reform programme, and give us scope to cut back on the welfare budget at a time when, despite reducing the deficit by a quarter, we're still borrowing around £120 billion this year.
Next Tuesday Parliament is expected to vote on the Government's same-sex marriage proposals. The Government has made it very clear that no religious organisation or minister should be forced to conduct marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples. Freedom of religion is already guaranteed under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Government's response sets out a 'quadruple lock' of measures to put this position beyond doubt.
Many have been in touch with me with strong views on this, and I would be keen to hear from as many constituents as possible in the run up to the free vote. You may also vote in a poll on my web site at www.nigelmillsmp.com.

Southern Africa
Olam's presence in Southern Africa began in 2001 with our import and distribution of food grains into South Africa. Subsequently, we began operations in Zambia and Zimbabwe, thereby consolidating our presence in the region.
Today, our Southern Africa Cluster comprises 3 countries of which, we have a direct presence in South Africa and a trading presence in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The core of our business operations are in cotton farming and processing, the import and distribution of rice and packaged foods as well as extensive wheat and maize trading.
As part of our overall growth strategy, we are planning to consolidate our current businesses over the next few years, and pursue fresh initiatives in packaged foods, oil refining and distribution, snack manufacturing and distribution, and logistics investments. We are also planning to make more investments along the value chain, especially in investment-friendly climates such as those in Zambia, focusing mainly on downstream manufacturing and distribution.
The emergence of such potential markets have created immense opportunities for Olam to expand its business and product range beyond the suite of already successful products on offer.

A man was arrested at a Portland, Ore.-area home in connection with white powder letters sent to members of Congress, according to U.S. Capitol Police.
Christopher Lee Carlson, 39, faces charges related to mailing threatening communication and threatening the use of a biological weapon.
Several letters containing suspicious substances were sent to U.S. senators and representatives in recent weeks. Each tested negative for toxins.
Suspicious letters also have been mailed to other locations across the country recently, including seven received in D.C. this week.
Capitol Police cooperated with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the FBI and local law enforcement agencies in the investigation.
"As soon as the first suspicious letters were received, they worked tirelessly to identify the suspect and bring him into custody," Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer wrote in a letter to the Senate community.

American soccer has had no shortage of players who have failed to live up to high expectations. Young players with exciting ability who never quite managed to live up to the promise and potential they showed early on in their careers.
Gale Agbossoumonde readily admits that, at the moment, he falls into that category, but age is on his side. At 21, Agbossoumonde still has plenty of time to develop and that is the motivating factor for him as he prepares to embark on his career's latest journey in 2013.
Having recently signed with MLS, and picked up by Toronto FC in a weighted lottery that five other teams took part in, Agbossoumonde is finally set to play in the league that he turned down twice before. It is the latest change for Agbossoumonde, who is now represented by James Grant Sports after ending a three-and-a-half-year deal with Traffic Sports, the management company which held his rights since he became a professional in August 2009.
All of it is a welcome change for Agbossoumonde, who is aiming to make some noise in MLS in 2013 while turning the page on a rough start to his career. A start that saw him bounce around Europe and North America at an age when most American players are enjoying their college playing careers.
"It's a new experience and I kind of went off the path in my career and I want to get back on the road, so this coming season, I'm hoping for it to be my breakout year," Agbossoumonde told SBI. "Toronto is close to home (in Syracuse, New York), it's like a four-hour drive so my family will be there watching games, and hopefully I make a good first impression and have a good preseason, so I can get a lot of playing time."
The hulking 6-foot-2 centerback has yet to talk to Toronto FC head coach Paul Mariner, but TFC expressed an interest in him when he signed with the league. Convinced there would be plenty of chances for him to break into the lineup or, at the very least, find steady playing time, Agbossoumonde wasted no time in reciprocating those feelings.
Toronto FC, although poor in 2012, could have a jam-packed schedule this year. They are set to play the Montreal Impact in the 2013 Canadian Championship semifinals in April, and winning that tournament would push TFC into the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League.
"That was one of the main reasons why (agent Chris Megaloudis) thought Toronto was a perfect place for me," said Agbossoumonde. "To have a lot of games, to have a chance that I'll get to play, and I could compete for a starting spot. … I believe I can do it, it's just a matter of doing it now."
Agbossoumonde has been training on his own since his season with NASL's Carolina RailHawks came to a close. He recently spent time practicing with former U.S. youth teammate Joe Gyau, is now playing indoor soccer in Syracuse and expects to partake in Carlos Bocanegra's soccer camp later this month, all in an effort to try and make a good first impression in Toronto.
That is a lesson he has learned after spending a nomadic first few years in Europe and the United States. Agbossoumonde played for clubs in Germany, Sweden, Portugal and two lower division American sides, but never found a stable home under Traffic, and that constant bouncing around hindered his development.
"I wish things would've worked out differently, but those situations were out of my hands," said Agbossoumonde. "All I could do is play and have no say in any kind of thing. I tried to play through it, push through it and try to have off-field things not affect my concentration on the pitch.
"It wasn't an ideal three years that I had, but again I can't complain about it, because at the end of the day, they were paying the salary and helping me take care of my family."
While Agbossoumonde sounds like he has no ill will towards the controversial Traffic, and would recommend it to certain up-and-comers looking to move to Europe, he also did not hesitate to say he would change how he approached things when he was a teenager looking to start his pro career. Agbossoumonde turned down an initial MLS contract in 2009 because he felt the salary offered was too low, but now acknowledges that that may have been the wrong decision.
"(Going to Europe right away has) been a good experience and I learned a lot from it, but maybe if I had to do it again I would've gone to MLS sooner because I was young," said Agbossoumonde. "Maybe if I would've gone to MLS instead of Europe, I would've known more of what is expected of me as a professional because I didn't really know."
Last winter, still under Traffic's direction, Agbossoumonde had a second chance to join MLS. He passed on the offer, choosing instead to play out the remainder of his contract with Traffic Sports with the second-division RailHawks. Agbossoumonde cited the uncertainty that signing with MLS, and being allocated to a team via a lottery, would bring as a reason why he passed on the league yet again.
Given his current situation, it may seem like Agbossoumonde lost a year of his development playing in NASL instead of MLS but he doesn't see it that way. The Togo-born defender enjoyed his time in Carolina, especially because of how much he learned about soccer and himself under the tutelage of head coach Colin Clarke.
"He pushes you a lot in training and throughout the season, he was saying my training habits weren't good and he helped me improve my training habits," said Agbossoumonde. "He made me change into just being a better professional and that was the most important thing I took out of Carolina. Hopefully, I can take that with me for the rest of my career."
Agbossoumonde may have spent a year adapting to the American style of play in NASL and played against MLS clubs in the U.S. Open Cup, but he does not think those will be the biggest contributing factors to his adjustment to MLS. Rather, he believes his previous career experiences will aid him as he tries to acclimate to new surroundings yet again.
"I already have a base of what the style is because even before I signed with Traffic, I was training in New England for a little bit and I saw the style," said Agbossoumonde. "It's different than the styles in Germany and Portugal, it's kind of similar to Sweden, but now that I've had the experiences and learned from all different styles, I think that really benefits me more than playing in NASL and seeing what the American style is."
Regardless of how he adapts to MLS, Agbossoumonde finding an apparent stable home is something he is happy for and so are many of his former teammates. Agbossoumonde received an outpour of support on Twitter and elsewhere when it was known he'd be joining MLS and Toronto FC.
"A lot of my ex-teammates reached out to me and congratulated me and told me just to work hard and it gives me a lot of motivation," said Agbossoumonde. "I've seen a lot of my teammates from before like Terrence (Boyd) and Juan (Agudelo), they're big now. When those guys are reaching out to you and telling you 'congrats' and things like 'You can get there', it gives me a lot of motivation to get to where I want to be, which is playing on the national team and hoping one day of going back to Europe if I have some good MLS seasons."
That doesn't mean Agbossoumonde is already counting the days to a return to Europe. After the tumultuous early years of his career, and thanks to the chance for some stability, he has found some peace in signing with MLS and is hopeful of spending several years in the league.
"It's definitely where I want to be," said Agbossoumonde. "It's the best place for me, for my development. Maybe if I learned that early on, I wouldn't have went this route early on, but it's all a learning process for me. As long as I'm learning and progressing, then that's what I want."

So, what are you working on right now?
I've got cotton placemats on my loom - 2/8 cotton, dark brown, medium brown and cream stripes for the warp. I'm doing 8 mats with the cream in tabby, 4 mats with the dark brown in broken 2/2 twill, 4 mats with the medium brown in broken 2/2 twill.
The Fanny has 2/8 cotton warp with a cotton/linen slub for weft. They're looking good so far. :)
The AVL, sadly, is naked - but I hope to deal with that this afternoon. Another shawl warp. Picture on my blog http://laurasloom.blogspot.com
Have just finished with the Gibsons Landing Fibre Arts Festival so not much time for weaving recently. I did complete the Paper Challange pieces in time on my Minerva (more info on my projects page) and did a lot of spinning (wheel and drop spindle) and knitting during the FAF. Now it is time to tidy up my studio and finish the warp for a 2/8 cotton baby blanket to go on my 8 shaft Leclerc 45" - I have had it planned out for months. It will be a snowflake twill (thanks to Laura Fry's mug rugs workshop years ago and article in Weaver's magazine and Handwoven I found in my library) and I will embroider my grand-daughter's name and bd and my initials at the fell line. I have made blankets like this for my two older grand-daughters who are now 8 and 4 and the blankets (crib size) are still holding up very well in spite of much loving use.
On my 10" Woolhouse 8 shaft loom. I have a partly woven huck lace scarf with natural cottolin warp; weft in organic brown cotton handspun. This loom is currently part of a display mounted in the Chamber of Commerce window in our local mall. The Sunshine Coast Weavers and Spinners Guild assembled items made from natural fibres in honour of the UN Year of Natural Fibre and also promoting the GLFAF (as above)
We moved in September, so I've finally gotten my loom set up but nothing on it. Actually I can't get to my loom - still too many boxes in the way!
I have silk scarves on the loom - threaded in a 24 shaft point twill. This is the third warp I've done with this set-up (all the rest have been sold) o I figured I should keep doing them. I had a BIG problem when I couldn't find any more of the weft yarn - Muga silk from Treenway - but then I found that Jane Stafford had some nice lightly spun tussah silk which is beautiful. I'm looking forward to finishing the warp and washing the scarves to see the difference.
i am new to Weavolution -- but not a new weaver. I have a double-weave sampler for the OHS home study course on a table loom; just finished a scarf with handspun yarn (including dog hair) on the 4-shaft floor loom and have a warp waiting on my 12-shaft Nilart for either saddle blankets or rugs depending on what is needed.
I'm still working on stash reduction - more tea towels. :)
These ones are 2/20 merc. cotton warp with 24 nm doubled for weft. The linen is being a bit 'special needs', but the resulting cloth is worth it. :)
http://laurasloom.blogspot.com for more on these and other towels
Hi Laura- what is "24 nm"? your tea towel looks beautiful!
It's an extremely fine singles linen. So fine two of them are about the same grist as a 2/20 merc. cotton!
Got that warp off the loom and now have some 2/16 cotton for warp and using a 12 nm plus a 24 nm for weft on that warp. I'll take photos later - right now it's time to make some soup for dinner. :)
Got a picture this morning. Warp is 2/16 cotton at 32 epi, weft is doubled linen (one 12 nm one 24 nm) ppi is 24.
I seem to be in beige mode - both looms have beige warps on them! ;)
I've just finished some scarves, woven with some old acrylic yarn that I bought probably 20 years ago from Spinrite. I had planned on putting on a placemat warp but then the new Handwoven arrived in my mailbox and I saw the double weave yoga mat, so now I'm going to make cushions for my window seat using the same technique.
I've got more tea towels going onto the AVL and a placemat warp for the Fanny for when I can weave again. :)

A Lubbock County grand jury indicted Alexander Chavez, 30, Wednesday afternoon for the sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping of a 38-year-old Lubbock woman.
Trey Hill, assistant criminal district attorney, said authorities don't know where Chavez may be, but they believe he is dangerous. He was last reported this summer in Austin.
Chavez is wanted for sexually assaulting the woman on April 30, and holding her for a month with threats to kill her or her children.
According to police reports, Chavez took the woman to the Texas Workforce Commission in Lubbock so they could apply for jobs. While there, she told employees she needed help escaping Chavez, who she said had beaten her the night before with a leather belt. Police said she had bruises on both legs and arms; 75 percent of her buttocks was bruised black and purple.
On April 30, Chavez had found her and forced her to go to Clovis, N.M., to marry him, according to reports.
Hill said her story testimony was touching.
"It really got to everyone," he said.
He added that Lubbock County officials remain concerned for the woman's safety; Lubbock police are watching her home in case Chavez returns.
Every month, 250 cases of domestic violence are reported to Lubbock's Women's Protective Services. But it is when battered women are attempting to leave their abusers that they are in the most danger, said Ashley Cox, assistant criminal district attorney.
"It's all based on power and control. When they are leaving, they are standing up to him, and his anger will increase the violence," Cox said.
"He says, 'Stay because I told you to,' or 'If I can't have you, no one can.' I know those are lines from the movies, but they are taken from real life, and that is alive and well in Lubbock County."

The Summerville High School football team gave a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance worthy of Broadway on Friday night against Gustine at Thorsted Field in Tuolumne.
After putting together the most disappointing first half of the season in falling behind 17-0 to a less-than-dominant Redskins team, the Bears rebounded nicely in the second half but still came up short in a 17-12 loss.
"I don't know what the difference was," said Summerville coach Darcy Wingo of his team's up-and-down performance. "In the second half, the players just played the way we hoped they would from the beginning.
"If I could bottle that particular part of it and know the reason why ..."
The bottle looked pretty empty for the Bears (0-3) entering the third quarter after handing the Redskins (1-2) a 17-0 lead at halftime.
The Gustine coaching staff apparently learned its lessons well from watching tapes of Summerville's first two games. Just as Escalon's and Ripon's did, the Redskins' halfbacks used a counterplay to eat up chunks of yardage while quarterback Justin Kanawyer fooled the Bears' defense time and again on bootlegs.
As effective as Gustine's offense was in the first half, its defense was even better. The Redskins limited Summerville's offense to just 27 total yards, came up with two interceptions and did not allow a single complete pass.
But as dismal as things looked in the first half, the Bears pulled a 180-degree turn in the second half while nearly pulling off an improbable comeback.
Summerville opened the third quarter with a 14-play drive (the longest of the season) that took them from their own 36-yard line to the Gustine 23. Although the drive stalled when Aaron Minick dropped a fourth-down pass from Kenny Cognetti in the end zone, Marty Scott made sure the Bears would get another chance when he scooped up Jarrett Martin's fumble at the Gustine 23 on the Redskins' first play of the ensuing drive.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah jumped out early and maintained stellar play throughout its 49-6 blowout win over Washington State. Grades are in for every position group and those grades are quite high.
Offense: The Utah offense dominated from the get-go with 285 yards of total offense and 31 points in the first half alone. John White stepped up big-time with almost exclusive work at running back due to Kelvin York being out. The Wolfman had 96 yards rushing, 18 yards receiving and three touchdowns after just one half.
Travis Wilson looked composed and spread the ball around effectively — completing passes to eight different receivers. He finished the game with 17-21 passing for 171 yards and two touchdowns and sat for almost the entire second half. His only black mark was a misread that turned into an interception — but that was it.
The Utah offensive line provided a strong push on rushing plays and adequate protection throughout the afternoon. Had offensive coordinator Brian Johnson kept the pressure on all game the Utes likely would have approached 70 points. Grade: A
Defense: The Utah defense allowed some yardage in the first half, but stiffened every single time the Cougars threatened to score. The pass rush was particularly effective and helped stall drives time and again throughout the game.
Reggie Topps again provided key plays with an interception and at least one sack. Joe Kruger was particularly dominant in providing a consistent pass rush and stalemating whatever runs WSU would throw his way. Mo Lee also stepped up big in place of the injured Ryan Lacy.
Washington State finished with 259 yards — a lot of them garbage yards when the third-teamers were playing late in the game. Washington State did manage a single touchdown on the final play of the game. Grade: A-
Special Teams: It's all about Reggie Dunn these days. Utah's kick returner extraordinaire returned yet another kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown — his third 100-yard return in two games, which is an NCAA record.Comment on this story
Overall the return and coverage units were solid and Coleman Peterson connected on his two short field-goal attempts. Grade: A
Overall: Washington State is a bad football team, but Utah did exactly what you'd expect against a bad football team. The Utes jumped out early and kept the pressure on throughout the game — leaving no room for any momentum or even hope for the porous Cougars.
Every unit was clicking for Utah and it's hard to imagine a more solid overall performance than what fans saw Saturday. Grade: A

Sensor Network Queries With Contest Free Transmission
In wireless sensor networks the performance of query services is increased due to the emergence of high data rate sensor network applications. To meet this challenge, a Dynamic Conflict free Query Scheduling (DCQS), this is a novel scheduling technique for queries in wireless sensor networks. DCQS is specifically designed for query services in wireless sensor networks. DCQS has several unique features. First, it optimizes the query performance through conflict-free transmission scheduling based on the temporal properties of queries. Second, it can adapt to workload changes without explicitly reconstructing the transmission schedule. It also provides predictable performance in terms of the maximum achievable query rate.

A man already accused of hogtying his girlfriend and setting her on fire during the summer was charged Wednesday with capital murder in the shooting deaths of three people at a Far North Dallas motel last November, Dallas police announced.
From the start, 28-year-old Christopher Gerald Price was a person of interest in the slayings of Marco Barajas, 27, Manases Perez, 26, and Price's girlfriend, Ingrid Ramirez, 22. Their bodies were found in a room at a Motel 6 off LBJ Freeway and North Central Expressway. All had been shot in the head.
Price is in the Dallas County jail, where his total bail stands at $1.4 million, including $1 million on capital murder.
The three bodies were found Nov. 24, when the motel manager went to the room to see if a guest had checked out, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Police brought Price in for questioning after learning that Ramirez had accused him of robbery, according to the affidavit. He acknowledged being at the motel to buy drugs around noon Nov. 23. That's roughly when police believe the three were killed, the affidavit says.
Police arrested Price on a robbery charge but lacked evidence for him to be charged with the slayings, the affidavit states. The robbery case eventually was dropped for insufficient evidence.
On Aug. 28, a witness told police that Price had confessed to the shootings, according to the affidavit. The witness said Price said he had killed Ramirez because of the robbery accusation.
The witness also said Price told him he had tried to make the slayings look like a robbery, the affidavit states. The document notes detectives never found the victims' cellphones.
The witness also said Price was concerned that Ramirez might have evidence linking him to the murder under her fingernails, the affidavit states.
Price has been in jail since late July on charges of aggravated assault and arson on allegations of hogtying his girlfriend, Leslie Warren, and setting her on fire in her Lake Highlands apartment. Warren spent 24 days in Parkland Memorial Hospital burn unit with severe burns to her back, ears and hands.
Price has convictions for drug possession, home burglary and evading arrest.

Secrets of Success
Day 45 and 46 of Insanity!
Sunday, October 06, 2013
Yesterday was Plyo day and today was Max recovery - both felt wonderful! Yesterday I pushed myself really hard - I think it was the best workout I've done all of Insanity. I did more jumping than ever, able to keep up better than ever, and able to push myself instead of babying out. Today during max recovery I had to take extra breaks, but it was legit - my arms were giving out on me during slow push ups, so rather than feeling disappointed I felt proud of how hard I worked my arms. There is a definite difference in my workouts when I do a weekend workout vs a weekday workout - when I do a weekday workout I foll out of bed and push play and start the workout before I'm fully awake. On the weekend I'm typically up and moving around for a little first, and I have a clearer head and I'm more focused on pushing myself. I thought about changing my workouts to after work, but I really think that it wouldn't be good because my after work nights at any time are able to be changed and I won't get my workout in. I may be asked to babysit the bebe's or do something for my Aunt or SOMETHING, and then miss a workout. Once I start T25, much shorter in time, I'll be able to get up early and have some time awake before the workouts and I'll see how much that helps.
Tomorrow is Cardio and then Core Balance, both of which I am looking forward to, and then I have a rest day and it's time for a fit test again. I skipped it last time because I didn't prepare enough for it, but this time I'll be prepared. I'm going to do the measurements and fit test in the morning before work, and then I'll do the actual workout when I get out of work. I can't believe it's the last fit test until the very last day of the program. So far it's just flown by! Don't get me wrong, I feel like I've worked hard, but I can't believe that in just 2 1/2 weeks I'll be done Insanity, and then I have 2 1/2 weeks until I start T25. I'm thinking that during that 2 1/2 week gap I'll follow a Chalean extreme program and jogging until my 5K on November 2nd, and then Chalean and Insanity for the next week until I come back from my birthday trip and start T25. I just found out that as of right now all 3 bebe's are coming on my birthday weekend!!! So excited! They are such a hoot to have around!
I measured myself yesterday to see what was going on, and my numbers are all over the place. I have such a difficult time measuring myself - remembering where I measured myself previously, not holding the measuring tape too tightly, etc, etc. I don't think measuring myself is a very good tracker for me either, just like the scale. I refuse to be measured by someone else - guess I'll just be using my workouts and clothing as a tracker, which I'm ok with because 1) It's not a race, progress is progress, as long as I'm being healthy I'm happy and 2) It's a lifestyle, so I won't be ruled by measurements and scales, just by personal victories.
Hope you all had a Sparktastic weekend!!

Be so proud of yourself! You're doing wonderful!
Would it be possible for you to take about 5 minutes to step outside and breath some fresh air deeply to help you wake up on weekdays? 5 minutes isn't much time, but the fresh air, the early morning (even overnight sounds), or even the silence (if you're lucky enough to live in a quiet area) can be helpful to wake up the mind and the body. You could also try some yoga sun salutations (nothing difficult, just some simple stretches to help increase blood flow in the body) for 5 minutes. We tend to forget that it is healthy and natural to stretch out our arms, legs, back, neck, etc after we've been in the same position for a long time. If you've ever seen an animal waking up from a nap and stretching, it's because that's what's healthy. You don't want to do a big stretching routine because your muscles aren't warmed up, but just stretch out in a few directions and that may help.
Would it be possible to take a picture (using a timer) of where you're placing the measuring tape? That would help remind you where you've set it. Also, have you read the guide to measurements here on SP? It is helpful. Check it out. If you can't find it, let me know.
BTW, you're doing it! You are changing your habits and changing your life to be healthier. That's awesome! You're capable of so much greatness when you push yourself to do your best.

on your workouts.
I have a hard time with measurements too but I still try to do them every month. It can help if you make a note of where, I do measure from a certain spot like from elbow to biceps to make sure I'm at least close to previous but if I remember right, there is an article here telling you how and where.

I don't measure either, for that reason. Don't really know 'how'. I do weigh myself, only weekly though, to prevent myself from going crazy from the unpredictable numbers.

Way to go! Am doing Insanity too but as a hybrid with Rev Abs. I don't measure or weigh myself either these days - I just go by my clothes and how they fit. It is a lot less stressful than the unforgiving scale. Have a Sparktastic week ahead yourself and here's to pushing through.

Lol, I have that issue too when I'm measuring myself. Especially in my waist. Where I measured the first time is more than likely not where I measured the next time! :P
I love the last part of your blog. Yes, this whole journey is not a race and this journey is a lifestyle, not a temporary fix. As long as you do your best every day and continue to do your best, that's all that matters!
You are doing great things! Keep it up!

I love the name Caroline. I think it is awesome with your other girls I always had doubts when someone questioned my name... but I always went back to the original if it was right!
July 22nd, 2013 10:19 AM #15
Caroline Augusta Jane is stunning, and i think it goes with your others kids's names much better than Grace. Grace is nice, but its so popular and works better as a middle imo. Its not too late to change but i wouldn't if i were you, you might really regret it. Just remember, you considered Grace originally and decided against it for various good reasons. You are really good at this naming business, trust your judgement and don't let yourself be swayed!~ Mama to Juniper and Arlo ~

Well, my two main factors against Grace were:
1. My third daughter has Grace in her name (it is her second middle), while that wasn't a "deal breaker" it was a factor.
2. I am not crazy about the flow of Grace with our Last name... which starts with the "S" sound..... that was a bigger factor for me the names just seem to run together).
Thanks I think as a name lover, there is just always a little something there in the back of my head.... lol!!!

@Ash- I really do not want to wait until she is born... I did that with Serena, and it was just way too stressful I feel much better having the name chosen before hand.
I am going to email hubby to get his opinion on it (he hasn't said anything, and has seemed perfectly happy with Caroline... after all he had a big say in it)... but I will just see what he says...~ "How can there be too many children?

JAG Trainee Certification Process
Over the last 18 months, the JAG has carried out an extensive review and consultation on the way that trainees are assessed as competent at endoscopy. This letter is to inform you of the changes, provide you with the rationale for the changes and give you a timeline for implementation.
Firstly, the term accreditation is changing to certification to help distinguish this process from the endoscopy unit accreditation process.
Trainees have fed back that the application process for certification can be paper heavy and cumbersome. In response to this, the JAG have designed and released the JETS e-portfolio. From mid March 2011 the application process will be streamlined; you will be able to apply through the JETS e-portfolio. From September 2011, all applications will have to be submitted through the JETS e-portfolio. If needed, supplementary paper evidence will be permitted until at least 2012.
Further infomation is contained in the .pdf file below:

Christmas Shopping Online: Avoiding Disasters
Shopping online is so amazing. It's so easy to share with the world your great buy and it's even better to give gifts to our loved ones who don't live in our area. Just don't get so wrapped up in it that you forget to doublecheck everything. Here are some important steps:
1. After purchasing something for your family, make sure you change the email address from their's to YOUR'S when purchasing something they really don't need to know about.
2. Make sure you also do not share said purchase on Facebook, even though the site is adament about sharing it.
3. Merry Christmas.
OK, well, I didn't really have a 3, but you can't have a list of just 2 things, can you? I seriously need to finish my shopping.

Here's a tip if you're off to Royal Ascot this week: there is no need to go through the palaver of finding yourself a suitable piece of headgear or a natty tie – simply turn up at the gates and wait to be given one free by the racecourse's new "dress code assistants". Yes, a job lot of "thousands" of fascinators, pashminas and neckwear has been brought in by the authorities to make up for the sartorial deficiencies of the grandstand crowd.
While those in the exclusive Royal Enclosure could always be relied upon to adhere to its strict and detailed dress code – barring the odd celebrity deliberately causing a scene in the hope that the paparazzi might record it – it has been felt in recent years that those in the grandstands were letting the side down.
"There's nothing more disheartening than having gone to all the effort of finding a nice dress, heels and hat, only to find yourself standing next to someone who looks as if they should be on the beach," says Lady Celestria Noel, author of Debrett's Guide to the Season.
Officials at Royal Ascot claim that this year's inaugural Style Guide for the Grandstand Enclosure (to which up to 23,000 racegoers will flock each day) was the result of pleas from their customers, who had noticed that standards were slipping.
You see, over recent years, racegoers have failed to understand what is meant by the instruction to dress "in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion" (which was the only guideline that Royal Ascot had issued for the grandstands). Thanks to the Style Guide, we now know that "smart" means: for women, a piece of headgear of some sort – whether it's a hat, headpiece or fascinator – and a dress or top that is neither strapless nor has sheer straps, with no shorts and no bare midriffs. For men, it simply means a suit with a shirt and a tie. Clearly, the ability to book a day off work, buy a ticket, arrange to meet up with friends and get on the right train does not denote the ability to wear a tie with a suit or a dress that keeps your nipples from popping out every time you wave your betting slip.
Patrick Grant, creative director of E. Tautz and Norton & Sons, the trendiest tailors on Savile Row, celebrates the fact that racing is "one of the last places where you can go and see everyone looking amazing". But he'd encourage men to get it right in the first place from now on, as he fears that Ascot's freebie ties will do no favours for the modern gentleman.
Indeed, it's almost tradition that at those clubs where the wearing of ties is mandatory, the one fished out from under the desk for the man who stumbles in without one (it must happen to David Cameron rather frequently) is always a particularly hideous nylon specimen. "It's the Tie of Shame," says Rupert Uloth, deputy editor of Country Life. Uloth, too, is in favour of the new Style Guide, believing that it is less a return to the stuffiness of days of yore and more a reflection of the fact that it makes life so much easier when one is told what to wear. "No one wants to make a fool of themselves," he says. "It's reassuring to have rules."
Not that Royal Ascot is the only venerable institution that spells out to its paying customers what they should wear. Founded in 1787, the MCC, otherwise known as Lords, has long issued strict dress regulations. I love picturing the board of directors – with their combined age of 1,000 years – trying to work out how to contain the problem of contemporary clothing ("no member of the denim family may be worn"). This year, they decided that the printed word was not sufficient and produced a four-page, A4-size colour brochure of Dress Regulations, in which pictures of despondent men in brown anoraks sadly illustrate their lack of "tailored jacket or tie" and are therefore stamped UNACCEPTABLE for the pavilion on match days. Leggings are also UNACCEPTABLE (underlined), except where they are worn beneath a dress or skirt. Anna Wintour herself couldn't have put it better.
So, I think we have to concede that, dodgy as the dress code assistants' baskets of fascinators and pashminas may be, it's no bad thing that everyone is being encouraged to dress up for Royal Ascot. Harry Herbert, managing director of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, Europe's leading horse syndicate stables, will be looking after 300 owners and their five horses racing this week. Many of them come from overseas – China, Australia, America, Bermuda – and he says "while the important thing is to win, none of them ever complains about there being a dress code. For them it's part of the appeal and unique in the racing world."
It is testament to our crazy, inimitable Britishness that, left to our own devices, we turn up at Royal Ascot dressed like Quality Streets, or in headpieces that appear to have been made under the direction of a Blue Peter presenter. We may need to be told what to wear, to be reined in a bit; we may lack the chic that is admired in Paris, or the sassiness of Milan's fashion. But, praise be, there isn't a nation on earth that does uniform or loony hats better than we do.
