The Interagency Loan Data Request, or ILDR, has been around for quite a while now. In 2002, the State supervisors and the federal bank agencies implemented this voluntary process of providing loan information in an electronic format before an examination. Institutions simply upload the file to their regulators' secure site.
Every core system produces this file and I think for the most part institutions have been providing the data; however, there really has been no audit of the quality of the data at least until now.
It seems that the FDIC is going to be making better use of the data in the future. Although the agency is not changing the format or layout of the file, the agency is increasing the number of required fields from 5 to 30 for examinations starting on September 30, 2013.
A review of the new Required Fields reveals them to be Borrower Location information, Lending Officer, Original Amount and Date, Maturity Date, Interest Rate, Note Risk Rating, FFIEC code, and several fields related to past due and TDR status.
For more information visist the FDIC website.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

I have 2 new ideas relating to optimization. One is a short cut to creating multi-scale mutations. If you take a 32 bit random number and clear the second most significant bit then as a floating point number it is multi-scale mutation between -2 and 2. Put another way it is equally likely that you will get a mutation of 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001....
That means you don't need to find a characteristic scale where mutations are likely to be effective.
Also I have implemented as similar idea in terms of the number of population elements the mutation is applied to. This should greatly help evolving really big sets of parameters.
Mutations in the range -2 to 2 are ideal for mutating parameters in the range -1 to 1, so that's the way I've set it up.
If you are affected by strobing lights maybe you don't want to run the Mona Lisa in Circles demo, and just look at the source code instead. Anyway as is typically the case in such matters you need to run the demo for a fairly long time to see results. Also for whatever reason I couldn't get transparency working, which would have helped the demo work better.

According to dosomething.org, more than 3 million students are victims of bullying each year.
The Iowa Department of Education is trying to work on solutions to eliminate distractions to learning, including bullying.
A number of high schools across the state of Iowa have been chosen to participate in the 'Safe and Supportive Schools' program, including Waterloo East and West High Schools.
The Iowa Department of Education is asking students, parents, and teachers to fill out a confidential survey.
The survey will focus on issues ranging from relationships in the school to overall environment in the school.
"That's what education is, it starts with relationships. If the kids feel comfortable that they have people that care about them and that want to see them be successful that just helps them be in the classroom be engaged and continue to take ownership of their own education," said Josh Payton, Project Coordinator at Waterloo East High School.
After the survey's are completed and the results are back, the grant money will be spent to support efforts that will improve the overall environment.
Monday is the start of the survey and the schools need your help. On both, East High School and West High School's websites there is a link to the survey.
They are hoping for parents to log on and complete the survey.

The Diplomat | The Week in Asia
Chen Guancheng's quest to leave China, China bears, a Pakistani missile test and the country's improving ties with India feature in this week's news roundup.
Best of the Research
The International Crisis Group takes a close look at improving relations between India and Pakistan. Stronger economic links have bolstered moderate voices in both countries, allowing the governments to move past previously intractable issues such as Kashmir to broaden engagement in other areas. The report makes a number of recommendations for both governments on continuing to pursue this, but cautions that there are many impediments to peaceful engagement, including the possibility of another Pakistan originating terrorist attack in India.
"Within India, with suspicions of Pakistani intentions still high, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has limited political support for talks that do not prioritise the terrorist threat. Another Mumbai-style attack by a Pakistan-based jihadi group would make such a dialogue untenable. It could also provoke a military confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours," the authors say.

Depression: Person Behind the Smile (cont.)
I've also been with dear cousins whose words of kindness are ever-ready. And my friend, who I've known for nearly 37 years, is a sister to me in a sense. I love the way we can agree to disagree when need be. Finally, and very important, I have WebMD's Bipolar Affective Disorder board to sign on to. I find so much strength from the people who post there. All of us seem to share the same understanding, kindness, and compassion.
Changes and Inspirations
At times it feels like my body's engulfed in a transparent bubble, and my thoughts become disconnected. My biggest concern is this will happen while driving. Until I can be absolutely sure it's not going to happen, I won't drive -- ouch!
Long term, I worry about the permanent effects from all the medications I have to take.
My God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, gives me strength and hope to get through each day. I sincerely feel I'm on this Earth for a purpose, and I'm being cared for until I have fulfilled that purpose.
"If you're suffering with mental illness, please seek help right away."
Hopefully, I can become the woman I want to be. I've been so blessed with my wonderful marriage to Bob. Fortunately, I've learned from the failures of my first marriage how to be respectful, honest, loyal, and loving.
If you're suffering with mental illness, please seek help right away. The world is full of very cruel people, and we don't have any control over that. Darn, I find it difficult to accept that myself. But, I do know that there are people who really care and can help if you reach out to them.
There are resources one can tap into for help. First, there's a great organization called the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI). They do so many things, including lobby for the rights of those with mental illness, provide support, send information on the current issues, and so much more. I also recommend a book I related to so much: An Unquiet Mind, by Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, a phenomenal woman also suffering from debilitating mental illness.
Last, but not least, I am so very partial to WebMD. It's a remarkable resource to search for conditions, medications, and communicate with others on a message board. This is where I can post my experiences, strengths, hopes, and disappointments. WebMD has been a wonderful gift because it hasn't cost me anything to find answers, and find compassion from others dealing with mental illness, especially bipolar disorder. I'm very grateful to all of those who make the board a success.
By sharing my story, I hope to find common ground with other people distraught from mental illness. Hopefully, through the recollections of our lives, we can gain support and understanding from each other.
May God be with you all.
The member story above may have been edited for clarity.
From WebMD: Depression is far more common than most people realize, with two out of every 10 people being clinically depressed. As many as 23% of all adult women have had one major depressive episode in their lifetime.
The tragedy is that although so many people are struggling silently with crushing misery, so few get help. There are 100,000 people in the U.S. who haven't been correctly diagnosed and who aren't receiving treatment that could mean the difference between life and death.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, to help someone with depression you can:

Well, that's really the whole point of this, isn't it -- it's for people who don't want or can't be bothered to spend the time to create a new character and level it. Even starting a super-powered Death Knight at level 55 isn't enough for some people, limited as they are to one per server. Instant gratification: level 80 on demand. Really, I don't see the point of it -- you just KNOW the next step will be to simply create fully geared endgame characters. "Level 80 Orc Warrior? That'll be $80. Visa or Mastercard?" *poof*

Frying Pan News :: Ed Padgett was driving in the rain to a union meeting when the L.A. Times called to tell him he was fired. The pressman, a third-generation Times employee, listened in shock last December to an HR woman's voice explain he was being dismissed for "safety violations, dishonesty and suspicion of sabotage." That last charge had a bittersweet irony. Padgett had been at the paper for more than 39 years and had done everything he could to help it prosper – even as members of the corporate wrecking crew that drove the paper into bankruptcy were still counting their money.
[Ed Padgett:] It was similar to jumping into an icy cold pool of water. I felt like crying because I'd been there so damn long, but I soon got over it.

One day after U.S. Representive John Yarmuth (D-KY) said that he did not think that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is "the right leader to take us forward," the Louisville Democrat switched course on Friday, endorsing Pelosi's bid to remain the top Democrat in the House, albeit in the minority party.
"Speaker Pelosi has proven time and time again that she is able to build consensus in a caucus comprised of members from all across the ideological spectrum," Yarmuth said in a statement.
On Thursday, however, Yarmuth said that Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer's "sound, moderate approach to problem solving" would make him a better leader for House Democrats going forward.
"I know that there is some thought that Nancy Pelosi may stay around," Yarmuth said Thursday, "As good a leader as she has been, I don't think she's the right leader to take us forward. I think Steny will be a perfect spokesman for the Democratic party in the House and I would support him."
Late Friday afternoon, Yarmuth spokesman Trey Pollard added more clarification to Yarmuth's initial remark, saying that the liberal Louisville Democrat was operating under the presumption that Pelosi would not seek the leadership post and that Hoyer would not challenge her if she did. Pollard said that Yarmuth favors Pelosi over the only other Democrat to express interest in Minority Leader, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC).
Hoyer, currently the House Majority Leader, consults with Yarmuth on communications strategies, and the Louisville lawmaker says to "expect more of that" as Democrats take on a new role in a Republican Congress.
"I'm on a couple of Steny's advisory committees," Yarmuth continued, "so I would expect to have a significant role in plotting the direction of the Democratic caucus."
Yarmuth statement:
( Louisville, KY ) Today, following the news that Nancy Pelosi (CA-8) would seek the position of House Democratic Leader, Congressman John Yarmuth released the following statement:
"Over the course of my four years in Congress, the vote that I am most proud of is electing Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House. Speaker Pelosi has proven time and time again that she is able to build consensus in a caucus comprised of members from all across the ideological spectrum. Her dedication to advancing policies that improve the lives of all Americans is clearly evident in the significant legislative accomplishments that have been achieved with her as Speaker. These decisions, like all I make, are about what is in the best interests of my constituents and the country, about principle and not personalities - and that is why I will support Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic Leader in the 112th Congress."

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
A national bicycle foundation recently chose Atlanta to participate in a two-year project to help build "protected" bike lanes — those separated from traffic by planters, curbs or posts. A People For Bikes spokesman tells why Atlanta was selected for its Green Lane Project; he cites Memphis as a role model for how a Southern city can become bike-friendly. Atlanta Bicycle Coalition chief Rebecca Serna writes about how her group targets local streets to make them safer.
Commenting is open.
By Michael Andersen
Some Atlantans are perhaps familiar with the phenomenon in which people make sweeping generalizations about the American South. "Braving the Deep, Deadly South on a Bicycle," The Atlantic magazine shuddered in a headline last month.
In some sense, true enough. Georgia, for example, ranks 42nd of 50 states in estimated bike fatalities per rider, and 45th in bike commuting.
But this month my organization, the country's leading bicycling foundation, put a big bet on the potential for biking in Atlanta when we chose it as one of six focus cities for our Green Lane Project. Every two years, this highly competitive program swarms a few leading U.S. cities with resources to help them design and build physically protected bike lanes — extra-safe bikeways that, evidence shows, are necessary to making major streets comfortable for the majority of the population to bike on.
Atlanta applied — and won.
Why? I can basically tell you in one word: Memphis.
People who snort that biking will never take root in Atlanta would have laughed out loud if they'd been told in 2010 that Memphis, Tenn., was about to become a national model for bike-friendly planning. Twice named one of the country's worst cities for biking, the wide boulevards of Memphis didn't have a single bike lane, protected or otherwise. Then, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton decided this needed to change.
What's followed is the most remarkable turnaround story in American bicycling. Mayor Wharton pledged to build 50 miles of bike lanes. He hired the dynamic young director of a local nonprofit bike shop, Kyle Wagenschutz, as the city's first bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, and assigned a cautious but open-minded engineer, John Cameron, to make biking and walking just as important as driving on new city street designs.
Intrigued, we took a risk in 2012 and chose Memphis as one of our first six Green Lane Project cities. In the years since, the benefits of biking have become conventional wisdom for Memphis' leaders.
Protected bike lanes are now standard on every Memphis repaving project. Led by a private local foundation and a coalition of business owners, Memphis used the Internet to raise $75,000 in private donations to help build the Hampline, a two-mile bike lane separated from auto traffic by a row of planted flowers that will connect two key bike routes through the city's arts district. This month, Cameron said the city will convert two full lanes of a four-lane boulevard along the Mississippi to bike and pedestrian space.
Some businesses in Memphis predicted that fewer auto lanes outside their shops would hurt revenue. By pushing his bike plans through anyway, Wharton showed those fears for what they were: understandable but unfounded.
"We've had very successful projects that skeptics criticized harshly during the planning process," Wagenschutz said this month. "Once the new facilities were built, and the apocalypse didn't occur, I think a lot of people are beginning to accept the fact that we can have a great bicycle network without sacrificing motor vehicle access or the economic vitality of small businesses."
Indeed, the strongest force behind Memphis' bike renaissance is that the city skipped directly over the outdated and crippling assumption, common in too many U.S. cities, that improving biking is a matter of us vs. them, four wheels vs. two, majority vs. minority.
Instead of trying to placate a two-wheeled minority with painted stripes, Memphis is using protected bike lanes to build a biking network good enough to serve its majority.
This is where Atlanta comes in.
Memphis and Atlanta are very different cities. But the forces we see in Atlanta — a strong, ambitious mayor who gives himself audacious goals; a public enthusiasm for better biking proven by the eye-popping 83,000 Atlantans who joined the Sunday Streets Alive event last fall, and a business community whose enthusiasm for bike improvements is second to none — are familiar to us.
Memphis has already smashed the nation's assumptions about biking in the Southeastern states. In the next two years, Atlanta has a chance to create a whole new stereotype: that if you want to see cities that make bicycling work for mainstream Americans, you've got to head South.

By Rebecca Serna
I'm a mom. I have two boys with one more on the way. And I'm a bike commuter. I like to be outside, getting exercise and working off steam on my way to and from work. I would love to be able to bike with kids to school — a proven way to help them concentrate better and achieve academic success.
But there are obstacles to biking in Atlanta, both by myself and especially, with my kids: DeKalb Avenue, Memorial Drive, Lee Street, Courtland, Juniper, North Avenue, Ponce de Leon, Cascade, Peachtree Road. I'm not likely to bike on these streets, and I'm definitely not letting my kids ride on them.
Despite our well-documented traffic problems, Atlanta has so many streets with what engineers call "excess capacity." Simply put, we have more lanes than we need for traffic to flow. Often, we have the wrong lanes – dangerous, poorly marked reversible lanes, also known as "suicide lanes." Four lanes work like just two when you don't create turn lanes to handle cars stopped, waiting to turn left.
An increasing number of Atlantans who bike, or who would like to bike, stand to benefit in a real and personal way from the Green Lane Project. Atlanta was one of six U.S. cities chosen by People For Bikes to get help building better bike lanes — protecting bicyclists from car traffic with physical barriers to create low-stress streets.
Better bike lanes mean more people willing to use them. Other cities are using planters, raised curbs and even rows of parked cars to provide more protection, making people on bikes feel safer and more comfortable.
The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition recently launched a petition to "Fix DeKalb Avenue" to seize this opportunity. In one week, more than 1,000 people signed the petition to support removing the reversible lane and adding turn lanes and a bikeway.
Because the city of Atlanta has scheduled DeKalb for repaving this year and is studying removal of the reversible lane, we have the chance to fix not only the pervasive potholes, but a barrier to a safe and healthy mode of transportation. Neighborhoods along DeKalb are among the city's most bikeable, yet this flat street that connects them to Atlanta and Decatur is dangerous and uninviting. Adding a separated bikeway — and, importantly, turn lanes — would make the street safer and traffic more predictable, and support the local businesses that draw people on foot, in a car and by bike.
This is just one example of a project that would benefit from some Green Lane love. Lee Street, in southwest Atlanta, is another.
Lee has a whopping six lanes, high speeds and low traffic, and doesn't do anything to help attract the economic development and jobs the area needs. Like DeKalb Avenue, Lee parallels a MARTA line and is slated for repaving this year. Redevelopment projects like Fort MacPherson, and places like the Historic West End and East Point, would benefit from converting this motor speedway into an inviting main street.
As urbanist Peter Kageyama writes, "Livable is good. It's a fine aspiration that we have yet to achieve on any large scale. But I think we can do better. Instead of merely livable … we need to start thinking about how we make our cities more lovable. When we love something, we cherish it; we protect it; we do extraordinary things for it."
As we re-imagine Atlanta for a healthier, more livable and even lovable future, let's rethink our streets. Let's create streets that connect neighborhoods rather than dividing them. Let's create streets that we would feel safe riding with our children. The Green Lane project will help us keep building a city we love.
Rebecca Serna is executive director of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition.

What they don't mention in this article is how seldom the bike lanes in Memphis are used and how they have cause automobile congestion on multiple roads with people trying to avoid the traffic caused by these lanes. I am an advocate for healthy living and was an initial supporter of bike lanes… Until I saw reality of what happened. I even know people who cycle 100 mi/week that think they are a waste and cause more issue on the roads.

In a city as hilly as Atlanta, there will always be a ceiling on the viability of bike lanes.

It would be interesting to see data showing exactly how most cycling injuries occur. Are they actually the result of cars striking cyclist in travel lanes or do they occur at various intersections, crosswalks, driveways, etc.
As for adding these protected lanes to existing roads I suppose it really depends on the specific location. While I agree that DeKalb Avenue might actually be a good location I totally disagree that Pounce de Leon would be.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this works out.

If the sheer variety of holiday music that pops up each winter is any indication, there's no genre that can't handle a little Christmas spirit. This year, Louisiana country singer Sammy Kershaw decided to test that theory with the sounds of the bayou. His new album of Cajun-infused holiday songs is called A Sammy Klaus Christmas.
"I'm a country artist — but I'm down here in the southwestern part of Louisiana in Cajun country, and we have blues, jazz, country, French zydeco, Southern rock 'n' roll. I just kind of put all of those together, and that's how I come up with my sound over all these years," Kershaw tells NPR's David Greene.
"It's my own sound, and there's not very many other people that have it," says Kershaw. "But it's because of all the great music we have here in Cajun country."

WYOMING COUNTY, N.Y. – A 44-year-old New York State Trooper has succumbed to injuries sustained during a fall while taking part in training drills in Wyoming County.
Trooper Ross M. Riley died on Wednesday after he fell from a ledge approximately 30 feet into Wolf Creek in Letchworth State Park.
Riley was a 17-year veteran of the NYS Police.
He worked in Troops A, E and F and became
of a member of SORT, then named the Mobile Response Team, in March of 2000. Riley
also received praise for his service as part of the Mobile Response Team at
Ground Zero following the September 11, terrorist attacks.
Trooper Riley, was a veteran of the Persian Gulf Conflict and served as a U.S. Marine from 1987 until 1992, when he was honorably discharged.
He was awarded the Good Conduct Medal, Overseas Service Ribbon and National Defense Medal during his service.
Trooper Riley is survived by his wife, New York State Police Station Commander Heidi Riley, SP Olean and their three daughters, 10-year-old Abaigeal, 8-year-old Katherine and 3-year-old Jillian.
Governor Cuomo released a statement about Riley's death:
"Following this unfortunate tragedy, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Trooper Ross Riley. Trooper Riley was a devoted member of our State Police force, committed to protecting New Yorkers and ensuring their safety. His dedication to his work is commendable and his service, no doubt, touched the lives of many. The contributions he made as a member of the New York State Police will never be forgotten."

I would change my belfadin from a female to a male. I liked everything about the males except their annoying heal-casting animation. I figured, being a holy pally, I'd see that constantly and it would annoy me constantly. Now, I find that tolerable... and I hate everything else about the females. From the way they jump, to their emotes, to their voice. But I can't stomach levelling another paladin.

Conventional wisdom says that it takes courage to break the law, and especially to kill. But is that necessarily true? Take for example the case of a young man who has been beaten for participation in a protest event. The event itself was peaceful, legal and even given some sort of governmental protection. However, the opposition is an explicitly pro-violence organization, that (of course) portrays its members as brave soldiers protecting something old and revered. But when the young man was beaten, he was alone, and the people who attacked him were three. Not only that, but they used the element of surprise, and left quite fast after they were discovered by bystanders. The young man knew that by attending the event he is putting himself at a certain risk of this incident. They knew that the government is secretly in favor of their agenda, so the police will never actually catch them. They committed a criminal act, but were they courageous?
Another example. An officer is presented with the following choice: point out the position of the nearest of his own units to the rough-riders that caught him, or die in a brutal way by being beaten to death with a baseball bat. He has every reason to live, probably kids at home and all that, and still he does not choose that, and he dies. Whose example is to be followed - his or that of the band that killed him?
There are of course countless situations where active violence takes guts, but in a not negligible portion of cases it is the less noble way to go. Especially if your numbers are greater than those of the opponent. Now what does that say about those people who put the following quote in their signatures: "Put this in your signature if you are not afraid to admit that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior."? Of course you are not afraid! You are the majority, and even if you do something outrageous, the rest of the flock stands behind you. To be an atheist and open about it, however, takes more guts, even if one is not violent about it. (This applies mostly to America, but not only.)
Be proud of what you are, there is nothing wrong with that. But please, do not be pretentious.

These can be 5-step, 6-step, 12-step processes or anything in between. Give the team formal training in a good process so it has a basis for approaching its special projects and problems. Below is an example of a problem solving process: PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS 1. Identify the problem, define it, write a problem statement 2. Look for causes of the problem, brainstorm possible causes 3. Collect data to narrow the list of possible causes 4. Brainstorm possible solutions 5. Select a solution or combination of solutions 6. Test the solution 7. Make recommendations to the appropriate approval authority 8. Implement the solutions 9. Monitor progress and test the solutions for effectiveness 10. Celebrate the team's achievement Note that once teams learn a good project management or problem solving process, they are then free to vary from the process when it is deemed appropriate.

Sex has become a lifestyle. People spend money and effort to improve themselves, to make them beautiful, sexy, and gorgeous to attract an opposite sex (or even the same sex in some cases). The better you look, the more sex you will get.
In the Philippines, discussions about sex is taboo. Moralists and the church even do not allow sex education in schools, thus allowing kids to discuss sex by themselves, without any adult supervision. Which should not have been the case. Sex is part of a human life and thus must be discussed with ease and freedom.

PARIS, France — Last April, a journalist from French daily newspaper Le Figaro asked Frederic Lefebvre, French Secretary of State for Trade, to name his favourite book. His answer: "Without doubt Zadig and Voltaire, it is a lesson in life, I dip into it often." Mr. Lefebvre was, of course, mixing up Zadig ou la Destinée written by Voltaire in 1748 with Zadig & Voltaire, the fifteen-year-old mid-market French fashion brand. And

Life Water Wand
Product Description
It's claimed that this is the world's first hand-held cartridge filter cleaner. It certainly makes cartridge cleaning quick & easy. It cleans 8 pleats at a time with one simple action. There are 8 fingers to open the pleats and 8 180 degree fan nozzles to flush and clean both sides of all 8 pleats.
Soft rubber comb removes hair and other unwanted debris. The Water Wand also includes an ingenious thumb control to regulate water flow.
Operates off a garden hose with no splash-back.
NB it is important to attach this product to the hose correctly.
- Please read the Water Wand technical bulletin
Most Recent Product Reviews for Life Water Wand ... 3 Review(s) in total
- No better than a hose gun
Review by : Barnes Posted on : 20/11/2011
Tried several times but reverted back to a hose. Only effective if you have plenty of water pressure, otherwise no better than a hose gun on angle/fan spray setting (and that is far cheaper). I had to seal up all the joints around the two halves of the wand with silicone sealant as it leaked when connected to the hose.
- Over priced and not very useful
Review by : G Emmett Posted on : 27/01/2011
Switches the water on and off well enough but the 'fingers' arent correctly positioned for the filters i have.
Used once and gone back to std garden hose gun.
- Makes cleaning filters more torough
Review by : Rob Woodfield Posted on : 30/12/2010
Cleans the pleats of the filter more thoroughly than just using a hose.

Snickers Bars Tossed With Peanuts and Chocolate For the Worlds Best Fudge Recipe
Snickers Bar Fudge is one of my favorite sweet treats. I have so many it is hard to decide sometimes, I have to admit. It's the peanuts and the chocolate together that is so good! This Snickers Bar Fudge recipe seems to stick with me every single year. It is always the first sweet treat I go to during the holidays (although, we make it all year around). Why do I like it so much? Well, that is easy…. this recipe is made with chocolate candy bars! Snickers Bars to be exact. Who doesn't like Snickers????
Peanuts, chocolate, nougut, and caramel just command my attention, my commitment, my love. I have a feeling that once you try this delectable chocolate fudge recipe you will be as smitten as I. It is filled with peanuts and well, chocolate Snickers bars. That equals true love. I think you should try them and find out. Be sure to let me know what you think. Let me entice you further…..peanuts plus chocolate plus Snickers candy bars! Candy, yes, I said candy.
How to Make Snickers Bar Fudge
- 4 Cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/3 cups (10 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 12oz package of semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
- 1 7oz jar marshmallow creme
- 1 Cup Dry Roasted Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 Snickers Bars (2.07 oz size), chopped into small pieces
- Line an 8×8 inch square cake pan with tin foil. Butter the foil and set aside.
- Chop 4 candy bars into small bite sized pieces and set aside. Then chop one more and set aside separately.
- Butter the sides of a large saucepan
- Combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter in the saucepan.
- Cook and stir over medium high heat until the mixture boils.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring constantly for 10 minutes (it is a workout but that just means you can have one more piece.)
- Remove the mixture from the heat and add the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, peanuts and vanilla.
- Stir until the chocolate melts and mixture is combined.
- Hand beat for another 8-10 minutes or until the mixture becomes very thick.
- Spread the warm fudge recipe in a the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the fudge mixture with the 4 chopped snickers bars and fold the candy bars into the peanuts and fudge mixture using a spoon.
- Then, take the last chopped chocolate Snickers candy bar and sprinkle it on top of the fudge.
- Set aside to cool at room temperature until firm.
- Then, turn the fudge over to remove the foil and cut fudge into squares.
- Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Makes 4 pounds of fudge.
Snicker Bar Fudge recipe requires a lot of stirring, I should warn you in advance. It will definitely work your muscles but, man, is it worth it. This is the best fudge you will ever taste, hands down. I don't know if it is the peanuts or the chocolate….oh, I know, it is the candy that makes it so good. Definitely the candy! Snickers Bar Fudge is delicious and you simply must try it. Then, let me know: Am I right or am I right?????

This week I've been ranting and raving about dog caca, so it seems only appropriate that we end the week with these beautiful pictures of Doody….I mean….Diddy stepping into a pile of pooch poo in NYC yesterday. It couldn't have happened to a bigger douche. He probably screamed at that dog shit for not watching where it's going. It's going to hear from his lawyers.
The bodyguard knows what's coming and you can tell he's deciding whether or not he wants to scream "I quit this bitch," or if he wants to get on his knees and actually clean that shit up.
Diddy stepping in a pile of butt nuggets is not sexy, but it's definitely fucking funny.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office and the US Marshals Office have arrested 21-year-old Eleno Suarez on Thursday night in Frostproof. Law enforcement has been looking for Suarez since he shot at deputies on Aug. 3.
Deputies said they received a tip on Thursday that Suarez might be in a home on Pearl Hopson Road in Frostproof. Deputies and agents said when they responded to the address, three people who were in the home, refused to cooperate and denied that Suarez was there.
Detectives found Suarez hiding under a bed in the home. Suarez refused to comply with deputies' commands to surrender, and was apprehended by a PCSO canine. Suarez was taken into custody and transported to Lake Wales Medical Center to be treated for the dog bite wounds.
Deputies said they arrested three other people who were in the home for obstruction of justice. Deputies did not release their names on Thursday night.
Deputies had been looking through a tri-county area in Polk, Highlands, and Hardee counties searching for Suarez.
Deputies say Suarez fired at deputies during a chase on Aug. 3, and had been on the run ever since.
Suarez was wanted for an armed home invasion robbery and carjacking in Frostproof.
On Aug. 3, he was spotted near a Frostproof convenience store at the intersection of US Highway 27 and US Highway 98. Deputies say, he and five individuals fled the area in a Ford Focus.
Polk deputies attempted a traffic stop but Suarez, who was driving, led them on a chase and fired multiple shots at the deputies. No one was injured.
Suarez lost control of the car in a rural area near State Road 64 and US 98 in Hardee County. Deputies caught the five passengers but Suarez fled on foot, according to investigators.
Along with his previous charges, Suarez now faces a charge of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.

HMV marketing director Mark Hodgkinson made redundant
HMV's marketing boss Mark Hodgkinson has become one of the latest casualties at the beleaguered retailer, after it announced a further 60 redundancies in its head office.
HMV: chief executive and marketing director made redundant
According to reports, chief executive Trevor Moore has been ousted, along with marketing and e-commerce director Hodgkinson, as administrator Deloitte looks to cut costs ahead of a possible sale of the business.
Former Asda marketer Hodgkinson joined HMV in October 2011, and was charged with rapidly expanding the brand's e-commerce offering. He has also held senior roles at music label EMI and Virgin Money.
Last week, HMV's Twitter account was taken over by an employee being made redundant, along with 190 people across the retailer's head office and distribution centres.
One of the tweets described the "marketing director" as asking "How do I shut down Twitter?", while also claiming "he's staying, folks".
Nick Edwards, joint administrator at Deloitte, said: "Following our announcement of the closure of 66 stores yesterday, it has been necessary to consider the head office support required for the reduced store portfolio.
"As a result of this review, a number of redundancies at the head office have been made. This has been a difficult decision, but a necessary one in restructuring the business. We would like to express our gratitude to staff for their continued support during the administration."Follow @alex_brownsell

text: The famous picture of Divine Mercy was first painted here in Krakόw's Łagiewniki. It represents the vision given to sister Faustina, a nun who lived in the local convent. She preached the message spoken by Jesus Christ concerning the Mercy of God. She was proclaimed a saint and is buried in the old church next to the newly constructed basilica. In 2002 Pope John Paul II solemnly consecrated the basilica dedicated to the Divine Mercy. Due to his initiative, the shrine at Łagiewniki has become a World centre of Divine Mercy. The basilica is an interesting modern piece of architecture. Next to it stands a tower 80 metres high. The shrine has become one of the most important places for pilgrimages from Poland and also from abroad.

So Britney Spears has been hospitalised. Yet again. One would think that from the mess she has made of herself, people would be a little ashamed of themselves and back off, and give her the space and time and care she needs to get herself sorted out with some good medical help and some love and care. But no. What we get are frenetic videos of Britney being carted off into the ambulance with a collage of her with her no panty flash, her drunk driving court appearances, her shaving head escapade.....one would think by now people would have had enough. But apparently not. Apparently there are vultures out there in the form of paparazzo who earn megabucks for every picture they click of her spirally down into a private hell that it seems she will never get out of, and she has, in her poor misguided, troubled mind, gone and fallen for one of them.
My heart breaks. Not because I am a fan, am not and never have been. Because I am a mother, and I wonder what sort of a legacy her poor children are going to bear with a mother who is so unstable, she is deemed a threat to herself. And I wonder at the pressures of a life of fame so early that has caused her to implode so viciously that she seems, as of this point, absolutely beyond salvation. And I wonder whether it is worth it all, the fame, the glitz, the money, the adulation, the designer clothes and the high flying life, to be not able to have control over one's own self and actions. And what would have pushed her off the brink.
The time I really got antsy reading about Britney and her kids, was when her first kid was taken to hospital for a nasty fall to the head. From a supposed high chair. The child was in seizures. The nanny was supposedly at fault. Then came the picture of her almost falling over with a baby in her arms. Wearing disgustingly high heels. Then the report of her changing a baby's diaper on the floor of a store. She was unravelling from way back. It is stressful, caring for a child. And caring for two when you are still mentally a pampered child would be tougher. I know I couldnt deal with handling the brat when he was just born. I was so terrified I do something wrong and hurt him that I had backed into an emotional corner from which I just didnt want to emerge. I didnt step out of my home for months. Except for doctors visits. And I had help. I wasnt alone. I had maids. I had a mother in law and a mother to help. I had convinced myself I was the world's worst mother and I didnt deserve this baby. To put it bluntly, I had the baby blues, and they were taking their time to go away, and had I not, through the grace of god pulled out of it, I might have been wheeled away too. That would have been the scary part. What would have happened to my son had I not been around. He would have been bathed and fed and schooled I know, but would anyone have sat up with him through the night sponging him down when his body was racked with fever? Would anyone take the trouble of taking him to therapy every other day and sit with him through three hours of sessions? Would anyone make him a jam sandwich in the middle of the night just because he felt like it? Would anyone agonise if his weight went down after it had increased by a kilo? Would anyone care?
With Britney, the world was her oyster. Was it the kids who tipped her over, or is there a history of mental illness that we dont know about? But we can have some grace as people to sympathise with her, rather than think she had it coming to her. And pray. Pray that two innocent kids get a mother who is capable mentally of bringing them up to be good human beings.

Vivian loves to put easter eggs into her stories, especially the paranormal series. All the Granite Lake Wolves and Takhini Wolves book titles contain at least two story related puns.
One of Viv's favourite movies is The Princess Bride.
Viv doesn't listen to music while writing, because the one time she tried, the lyrics of the song mysteriously ended up on the page in the middle of the story.
Vivian Arend in one word: Adventurous. In a sentence: Willing to try just about anything once. That wide-eyed attitude has taken her around North America, through parts of Europe, and into Central and South America, often with no running water.
Her optimistic outlook also meant that when challenged to write a book, she gave it a shot, and discovered creating worlds to play in was nearly as addictive as traveling the real one. Now a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of both contemporary and paranormal stories, Vivian continues to explore, write and otherwise keep herself well entertained.

When I started writing it was one rush of excitement after the other. A new idea, and BOOM, it was on the page. Characters talking about it, action developing. ALl the way from the first word on the page to THE END I simply rolled with it.
Book 2 came a little slower. Not because the ideas weren't there, but because I had to keep stopping to check references to the first book. What colour hair did I say the hero had in book one? Back then he'd been a minor side character. I'd described him once then *poof* moved on. After becoming frustrated by having to slow down to dig up information, I took to inserting XXX every time I didn't know a fact. Whether it was a character's eye colour or the name of the restaurant I wanted to mention, XXX and on the the next point. Once the book was done I would go through, search for XXX and look it all up then. Read more…

The Pacific Passion series started because I wanted to try two things– First was writing short, hot works that continued the adventure for the same hero/heroine in more than one story.

I love this place - the atmosphere is casual and elegant, the food is great, love the desserts, and the price is ok on most items.... but $3.50 to add Daiya?? That's not cool, and it makes the pizza too expensive. Very annoying.

Went a few weeks ago and had the Fried Seitan Medallion and a Mocha Breakfast Smoothie. MrsLeedsveg had the Roasted Potato Pizza with vegan cheese and an orange juice. The food was delicious and so substantial that there was no room left to fit in any cheesecake, which I'd really been looking forward to. I mentioned this to the waiter with a regretful smile and on leaving and unexpectedly, we were presented with a parcel containing a large and gratis slice of cheesecake. When we ate it at the hotel later, it too was delicious. There was nothing for us to fault at this restaurant and it was the best eating experience of our 11 day holiday in NYC.

I have dined at Peacefood Cafe's new downtown location a few times since opening up in my neighborhood and have loved all their healthy vegan/vegetarian offerings. My favorites are chickpea fries, raw sushi roll (almost as good as Pure Food and Wine's!), any of their soups, their steamed kale (tastes much better than it sounds) and their vegan carrot cake. The reason I feel compelled to write a review, however, is because their customer service is exceptional! Tonight was the first night I tried their delivery service. My food arrived within 20 minutes and felt like it was the same quality as if I dined at the cafe. The restaurant forgot to pack my dessert (raw chocolate mousse cake) and when I called, they immediately sent a delivery man out with the missing dessert and had it delivered in less than 5 minutes. When I opened up the bag, there was a handwritten note that said "We are so sorry, please enjoy this cookie!" and comped me a free cookie. It was so sweet!
