My friend Amy really wanted to set me up with her bf's friend Max, stating he is cute, but shy with girls, and I would like him. The four of us ended up taking a trip together and had so much fun. Max was really sweet to me. He ended up asking Amy if I would be interested in going to this one particular concert, I looked up the band, liked it, and told Amy to say Max I would go – so we ended up going together. We also talked for about two hours after the concert. He told me he was so happy Amy had introduced us, he invited me to a party which was nine months from now, he put his arms around me a few times, told me we should do something over the weekend. He walked me home, gave me a hug and we ended up texting well after that. And the following day – everything changed. I texted him to ask him about our plans for the weekend and he ignored me. He then commented on something on my FB. Then I sent him another message and no reply. Please help cause I have no idea what happened there.
BabyMonsterParticipantOctober 21, 2016 at 2:10 pm #114907
Try and gage him to talk about what's going on. If he keeps ignoring you. Give him space for awhile and then try contacting him again to show him you still care. If you guys actually end up talking, gently bring up the situation. (This is just what I would do)
teebeeParticipantOctober 25, 2016 at 4:07 am #115152
boys can be confusing. don't text him to much or he will just run the other way. just leave it be for now and if you see him hanging out with your friends bf then just say hi and see what he dose if he likes you he will come to you. do chase him or you will scare him off

A couple Fridays ago, some of my coworkers and I decided to go out to dinner at Bravo's to cheer ourselves up after a sad day in the NICU. We had a a great time! Well, Bravo's is kind enough to cover their tablecloths with a huge sheet of drawing paper (and they supply crayons, too) so customers can pass the time while waiting for their food. I decided to borrow a sharpie from one of our nurses, and attempted to draw a caricature of one of the girls in our crowd. Consider me a rookie at caricature, because I only recently took a caricature workshop at the IAC. This is my first attempt to draw one from life, and without the benefit of a pencil and eraser. So, it's a bit raw. The original drawing had a botched attempt at a sexy body, so I re-drew the body after I got it home, in the style of my caricature instructor Katherine Hilden (so yes, I did cheat a little). She taught us that no matter how ugly your drawing is, all will be forgiven if you just add long eyelashes and big boobs (to the girls, that is). So to any men reading this, NO, nurses do not dress this way for work. We were all in our scrubs that night. :)
Thanks to my daughter Alyssa, who helped me clean this up in Photoshop. She's a pro with that stuff.

When making plans to take a trip for your next vacation it is very easy to believe you won't need insurance for a cheap single trip. Insurance is a necessity because no matter how carefully we plan our trip there is no guarantee that things will go one hundred percent smoothly. It really is much better to realize there is a small chance that something unexpected may occur.
Something could go wrong with your health. It may not be very serious but if you need medical attention in a foreign country it is going to cost a great deal. No matter where you are in the world, good medical care is expensive.
Your child may fall and break an arm or suddenly develop full blown measles. Not only do you want medical care but you want the best. If you have cheap single trip travel insurance then you will know exactly how much money is available to you in this situation.
In fact, it is very likely you will be in contact with a representative of the travel insurance company to advise you through the procedures.
When compared to illness or sudden accidents then the loss of luggage does not seem as important. However, just because you don't need medical care does not mean you have to put up with losing your assets. Luggage is a necessary part of traveling.
It is very common to fill your luggage with curios, gifts and other luxury items. There isn't an airport in the world that does not have to deal with its fair share of lost luggage. More often than not, lost luggage is never recovered and simply remains lost.
Don't forget, it is not only the contents of your luggage that you will be covered for but also your actual luggage. Nowadays, decent luggage that can take the rigors of travel is expensive. Cheap single trip travel insurance will cover this.

Honeysuckle is a rapidly growing, warm-season vine that needs a vertical support structure to grow up. If you have a wood slat fence, you can plant honeysuckle at the base and within one to two growing seasons, the fence will be covered in white, highly fragrant flowers. Although honeysuckle requires little care after planting, it does require regular pruning to prevent it from overtaking the surrounding landscape.
Wait until the early spring and monitor the fence for 24 hours before planting to ensure that it receives full to partial sunlight for at least half a day. If the fence has shady areas, do not plant honeysuckle there.
Till the soil near the fence using a garden tiller while being careful not to damage the wooden slats. Loosen the soil to at least an 8-inch depth.
Dig a hole that is 6 to 12 inches away from the wood fence and as large as the nursery pot the honeysuckle is in. Remove the honeysuckle from the pot and place the roots into the hole. Backfill the hole with soil and pat the top of the soil down gently with your hands. Plant additional honeysuckle vines in the same manner spacing them at 3-foot distances.
Spread a granular, time-release fertiliser, such as 10-10-10, over the ground at the time of planting using the dosage on the package. In subsequent years, apply the fertiliser once in early spring and again in midsummer.
Spread a 2-inch layer of mulch over the ground but keep it pulled back 1 inch from the base of the vines. The mulch prevents moisture from evaporating in the summer months.
Water the soil under the honeysuckle vines until it is wet to an 8- or 10-inch depth. After planting, water every one to two days until it begins to grow, then water only during periods of drought.
Tie the honeysuckle vines to the wooden fence using 24-inch long pieces of gardening tape. Wrap the tape around the vine and then tie the free ends in a knot behind one of the fence slats. Once you see the vine cling to the slat by itself, you can cut away the tape with scissors.
Most recent
- Wait until the honeysuckle vines are two years old and begin pruning them by cutting them back by one-third in the winter using hand pruners.

College of Arts & Sciences Language Requirement (for 2016-17 Catalogs and beyond)All students who major in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to demonstrate competence in a second language. The languages regularly taught at Gonzaga are Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Japanese and Spanish.
Placement Exam InformationIf you are continuing in the study of a second language from high school you are required to complete the placement exam in order to be placed in the appropriate level.
- Students may not take a placement exam in a language once they have begun to study the language at the university level including transfer credit or study abroad.
- Placement exams may be taken only once in a particular language.
Placement exams can be taken online.
- Indicate the language you wish to take the test in and you will be given the instructions for that placement test.
Proficiency Exam InformationFor students that start at GU in Fall 2016 and beyond, those who wish to fulfill the language requirement by demonstrating competence at the 201 level rather than taking a class must take the Proficiency Exam. Students who enter Gonzaga with college credit from AP, IB or college in the high school programs may take the proficiency exam.
- Students may not take a proficiency exam in a language once they have begun to study the language at the university level including transfer credit or study abroad.
- Proficiency exams may be taken only once in a particular language.
Spring 2020 Proficiency Exams Offered:
- Tuesday, April 7, 2020, 4:30 p.m, College Hall 028
- The fee to take this exam is $19.90
- Register by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Language Requirement Information
- Students continuing in the study of a second language from high school are required to show competence at the intermediate level (courses numbered 201):
Placement Exam
Course(s) Required
Total Course(s)
201 — 201 1 102 102 201 2
- Students continuing a second language from high school whose level is beyond 201 have the following options to meet the language requirement:
Placement Exam
Total Course(s)
202 or above (Option A) Pass Proficiency Exam 0 202 or above (Option B) Take a course numbered 202 or above 1 No placement exam score Pass Proficiency Exam 0
- Students beginning study of a new language can meet the requirement by completing one year at the elementary level (courses numbered 101 and 102). No placement exam is required.
Course(s) Required
Total Course(s)
No placement exam necessary 101 102 2
For the placement or proficiency exam or registering for the proficiency exam, contact:
Diane Birginal, Language Requirement Testing Coordinator
Phone: 509-313-3959
Email: email@example.com
What should I consider?
We encourage you to fulfill the requirement early. If you are continuing a language from high school, the sooner you start, the more likely you are to need only 1 semester to fulfill the requirement. If you start a new language, you will need 2 semesters to fulfill the requirement. Planning ahead is essential.
We encourage you to take the placement exam if you plan to continue studying that language at GU.
Explore studying abroad. If you will be taking 101-102 or 102-201 sequence to complete the language requirement, you will not be able to take both courses in one semester abroad and you should plan accordingly. If you are planning to study in Florence this program requires 1 semester of Italian (fulfillment of the CAS language requirement with a language other than Italian does not exempt you from this requirement); we encourage you to take Italian 101 - 102 before you go to Florence, both to fulfill the language and the program requirement, and to have a good foundation in Italian when you arrive in Florence.
Why are there two exams? What is the difference between the two?
The placement exam is a shorter exam (40 minutes) that you can take anytime, anywhere. It provides an initial indication of your language ability in order to place you into the appropriate level.
The proficiency exam is a longer (2 hours), in-depth proctored exam that is offered on scheduled dates. It provides a complete measurement of your language ability.
The language requirement is a competency requirement. You can show you are competent at the level established by the requirement (201) by either taking and passing a course at or above that level, or taking an exam that allows you to demonstrate competence at that level. The placement exam does not demonstrate competence at a particular level. The proficiency exam does.
What if I studied more than one language in high school?
You can choose to start a new language at Gonzaga, or continue one of the languages studied in high school. When continuing with a language previously studied, only one placement exam is required.
What if I didn't do very well in high school classes? Can I begin at the 101-level for review?
Elementary courses (numbered 101) are for beginners, students with no prior experience in that language. You are not required to continue in the same language you studied in high school. In this situation, you might consider taking a new language. If you want to continue with the same language, you will take the placement exam and begin in 102 or 201, depending on the placement results.
What is on the placement exam? Can I prepare?
The exam includes reading, writing, listening and speaking modules. It is not necessary to prepare for the session. Immediately prior to testing, you might consider spending 15 – 20 minutes reading in the language as this will probably help with basic recall.
What if I speak a language other than English at home?
Generally, if you graduated from high school in the U.S., you will be required to demonstrate competence in a language other than English through a proficiency exam or the completion of a class at the 201 level or above.
How will I know where I place?
Both you and your advisor will receive an email informing you of the placement results.
Whom do I contact with questions?

Note to self on constructing a monad transformer. In a way this follows on from the earlier post Applicatives compose, monads do not. Literate Haskell source for this post is available here: https://github.com/carlohamalainen/playground/tree/master/haskell/transformers.
> {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables, InstanceSigs, MultiParamTypeClasses, FunctionalDependencies, FlexibleInstances #-} > > module MyOwnReaderT where > > import Control.Monad > > hole = undefined > data Hole = Hole
The Reader Monad
A Reader is a data type that encapsulates an environment. The runReader function takes an environment (a Reader) and runs it, producing the result of type a.
> newtype Reader r a = Reader { runReader :: r -> a }
Note that with record syntax, the type of runReader is actually
runReader :: Reader r a -> (r -> a)
Reader that increments its environment value, returning the same type:
> reader1 :: Num r => Reader r r > reader1 = Reader $ r -> r + 1
Reader that converts its environment value into a string:
> reader2 :: Show r => Reader r String > reader2 = Reader $ r -> "reader2: " ++ (show r)
"Run" the reader using runReader:
> ghci> runReader reader1 100 > 101 > ghci> runReader reader2 100 > "reader2: 100"
There's nothing magic about runReader; it is just taking the function out of the data type. We can do it manually ourselves:
> runReader' :: Reader r a -> (r -> a) > runReader' (Reader f) = f
> ghci> runReader' reader1 100 > 101
Next, make Reader an instance of Monad:
> instance Monad (Reader r) where > return :: a -> Reader r a > return a = Reader $ _ -> a > > (>>=) :: forall a b. Reader r a -> (a -> Reader r b) -> Reader r b > m >>= k = Reader $ r -> runReader (k (runReader m r :: a) :: Reader r b) r
The definition of >>= is relatively easy to work out using hole driven development.
Example usage:
> eg1 :: Reader Int String > eg1 = Reader id >>= e -> return $ "hey, " ++ show e
Or in the more readable do notation:
> eg1' :: Reader Int String > eg1' = do e return $ "hey, " ++ show e
> ghci> runReader eg1' 100 > "hey, 100"
Note that we use id to produce a Reader that just passes its environment argument along as the output. See readerAsk later for the equivalent situation which uses return for MonadReader.
Since [] is an instance of Monad we can also do things like this:
> eg1'' :: Reader Int String > eg1'' = do e [] Int) > return $ "hey, " ++ show e
> ghci> runReader eg1'' 100 > "hey, [100]"
Reader Transformer
We'd like to use the Reader in conjunction with other monads, for example running IO actions but having access to the reader's environment. To do this we create a transformer, which we'll call ReaderT:
> newtype ReaderT r m a = ReaderT { runReaderT :: r -> m a }
The r parameter is the reader environment as before, m is the monad (for example IO), and a is the result type, as before. Again, note the actual type of runReaderT:
> runReaderT :: ReaderT r m a -> (r -> m a)
It takes a ReaderT and provides us with a function that takes a reader environment of type r and produces a monadic value. Following from the Monad instance declaration for Reader it is straightforward to write the definition for ReaderT.
> instance Monad m => Monad (ReaderT r m) where > return a = ReaderT $ r -> return a > > (>>=) :: forall a b. ReaderT r m a -> (a -> ReaderT r m b) -> ReaderT r m b > m >>= k = ReaderT $ r -> do let a' = runReaderT m r :: m a > a'' runReaderT (k a'') r :: m b
With a ReaderT as the outer monad, we would like to "lift" a monadic computation into the reader. A monadic action doesn't know anything about the reader environment, so to lift the monadic value we just create a ReaderT with a function that ignores the environment:
> liftReaderT :: m a -> ReaderT r m a > liftReaderT m = ReaderT (_ -> m)
Example usage:
> egLift :: ReaderT Int IO () > egLift = do e IO Int) -- This is similar to "Reader id" earlier. > liftReaderT $ print "boo" > liftReaderT $ print $ "value of e: " ++ show e
Note the type of return on the first line of egLift. In this context, return :: a -> m a is the equivalent of id :: a -> a from the earlier Reader example.
> ghci> runReaderT egLift 100 > "boo" > "value of e: 100"
More generally, let's name the "ask" function:
> readerAsk :: (Monad m) => ReaderT r m r > readerAsk = ReaderT return
If we want to modify the environment, we use withReaderT which takes as its first parameter a function to modify the environment. Note that the result is of type ReaderT r' m a so the function is of type r' -> r which modifies the supplied reader of type ReaderT r m a.
> withReaderT :: (r' -> r) -> ReaderT r m a -> ReaderT r' m a > withReaderT f rt = ReaderT $ (runReaderT rt) . f
Lastly, it is convenient to apply a function to the current environment.
> readerReader :: Monad m => (r -> a) -> ReaderT r m a > readerReader f = ReaderT $ r -> return (f r)
This is almost the same as readerAsk except that we create a reader that returns f r instead of f. In other words:
> readerAsk' :: (Monad m) => ReaderT r m r > readerAsk' = readerReader id
Finally, we collect the functions readerAsk, withReader, and readerReader in a type class MonadReader and give them more general names:
> class (Monad m) => MonadReader r m | m -> r where > -- Retrieve the monad environment. > ask :: m r > > -- Execute the computation in the modified environment. > local :: (r -> r) -> m a -> m a > > -- Retrieves a function of the current environment. > reader :: (r -> a) -> m a
An instance declaration for our ReaderT type:
> instance Monad m => MonadReader r (ReaderT r m) where > ask = readerAsk :: ReaderT r m r > local = withReaderT :: (r -> r) -> ReaderT r m a -> ReaderT r m a > reader = readerReader :: (r -> a) -> ReaderT r m a
Now we can write fairly succinct code as follows. Use the IO monad as the inner monad in a ReaderT, with an Int environment and String result type.
> eg2 :: ReaderT Int IO String > eg2 = do > -- Get the reader environment. > e > -- Run an IO action; we have to use liftReaderT since we are currently > -- in the ReaderT monad, not the IO monad. > liftReaderT $ print $ "I'm in the eg2 function and the environment is: " ++ (show e) > > -- Final return value, a string. > return $ "returned value: " ++ show e
> ghci> result "I'm in the eg2 function and the environment is: 100" > > ghci> result > "returned value: 100"
All of the above is available from Control.Monad.Reader and Control.Monad.Trans.
StateT, ReaderT, and ask
The State monad encapsulates a modifiable state. It has a transformer StateT as one would expect. Yet we are able to call ask inside a StateT monad. Here is an example (the raw code is here):
> import Control.Monad.Reader > import Control.Monad.State > > inside0 :: ReaderT String IO Float > inside0 = do > e > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "inside0, e: " ++ show e > > return 1.23 > > inside1 :: StateT [Int] (ReaderT String IO) Float > inside1 = do > e s > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "inside1, e: " ++ show e > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "inside1, s: " ++ show s > > put [1, 1, 1] > > return 1.23 > > run0 :: IO () > run0 = do let layer1 = runReaderT inside0 "reader environment, hi" > > result > print $ "result: " ++ show result > > run1 :: IO () > run1 = do let layer1 = runStateT inside1 [0] > layer2 = runReaderT layer1 "reader environment, hi" > > (result, finalState) > print $ "final state: " ++ show finalState > > print $ "result: " ++ show result
The function inside0 has the IO monad nested inside a Reader, while inside1 has a StateT with the ReaderT inside. Yet in both we can write e <- ask.
Inspecting the types using ghcmod-vim we find that
> -- in inside0 > e > -- in inside1 > e <- ask :: StateT [Int] (ReaderT String IO) String
so there must be a type class that provides the ask function for StateT.
First, inspect the type of ask using ghci (here we are using the definitions from Control.Monad.Reader and Control.Monad.State, not the implementation in this file).
ghci> :t ask ask :: MonadReader r m => m r
So StateT must have a MonadReader instance. Confirm this with :i:
ghci> :i StateT (lots of stuff) instance MonadReader r m => MonadReader r (StateT s m) -- Defined in `Control.Monad.Reader.Class' (lots of stuff)
Looking in Control.Monad.Reader.Class we find:
> instance MonadReader r m => MonadReader r (Lazy.StateT s m) where > ask = lift ask > local = Lazy.mapStateT . local > reader = lift . reader
The lift function comes from Monad.Trans.Class, and looking there we see:
> class MonadTrans t where > -- | Lift a computation from the argument monad to the constructed monad. > lift :: Monad m => m a -> t m a
So actually we are after the MonadTrans type class. Again looking at :i on StateT we see:
ghci> :i StateT instance MonadTrans (StateT s) (lots of stuff) -- Defined in `Control.Monad.Trans.State.Lazy' (lots of stuff)
So off we go to Control.Monad.Trans.State.Lazy where we finally get the answer:
> instance MonadTrans (StateT s) where > lift m = StateT $ s -> do > a return (a, s)
This shows that for StateT, the lift function takes a monadic action and produces a state transformer that takes the current state, runs the action, and returns the result of the action along with the unmodified state. This makes sense in that the underlying action should not modify the state. (There are some laws that monad transformers must satisfy.)
If we did not have the MonadTrans type class then we would have to embed the ask call manually:
> inside1' :: StateT [Int] (ReaderT String IO) Float > inside1' = do > e do a return (a, s) > > s > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "inside1, e: " ++ show e > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "inside1, s: " ++ show s > > put [1, 1, 1] > > return 1.23
Obviously this is laborious and error-prone. In this case, Haskell's type class system lets us implement a few classes so that ask, get, put, etc, can be used seamlessly no matter which monad transformer we are in.
The downside is that reading Haskell code can be nontrivial. In our case we had to follow a trail through a few files to see where ask was actually implemented, and finding the right definition relied on us being able to infer the correct types of certain sub-expressions.
Personally I am finding more and more that plain vim and ghci does not cut it for Haskell development, and something richer like ghcmod-vim is a real necessity. Shameless self plug: ghc-imported-from is also very useful 🙂

Quite an interesting page. My compliments.
Here's my question to you: would you say that the ReaderT must always be the outer layer of the transformers' stack?
As a learning exercise I have implemented a transformers library
(https://github.com/Muzietto/transformerz) and I am experimenting
with the mutual position of ErrorT and ReaderT (which in my case
are called respectively ET and RT). As you can see at row 122 of
moving ReaderT inside the monad stack causes trouble with the
lifting of local (really ugly code with loss of error control
I wonder whether ReaderT is free to move, because
all examples I know put it always at the outer layer.

Hi Marco,
You're right in that it doesn't really matter where the Reader
goes, but it changes how the rest of the stack behaves as
you noticed with error handling. Here's a small example based on your file Nilsson_03.hs:
module Main where import Control.Monad.Except import Control.Monad.Reader -- IO then Except then Reader: type IoExceptReader = ReaderT Int (ExceptT String IO) dostuff :: ReaderT Int (ExceptT String IO) Int dostuff = do -- Can use ask here (ReaderT): r <- ask if r == 42 -- Can also use throwError here (ExceptT) then throwError "Got 42, oh no" else return $ r + 1000
In dostuff we can use ask and throwError, and using local is easy because the Reader is at the top level:
blah :: IoExceptReader Int blah = local (+1) dostuff
In contrast, if we put the Except at the top level then the inner computation readerThing runs in a Reader with
no Except capabilities, while the top level blah' has Reader and Except.
-- IO then Reader then Error: type IoReaderError = ExceptT String (ReaderT Int IO) readerThing :: ReaderT Int IO Int readerThing = do -- Can only use ask here, no ExceptT stuff, unlike dostuff. r ExceptT String (ReaderT Int IO) Int thisLift = lift

I was at Randy's place Monday night and spotted the guitar he keeps in his living room which reminded me of the night Ted Blegen and I wrote the song Ants.
Randy was hosting a games night in early 2006. His games nights are all about playing board games and enjoying Chicken Pad Thai from Thai Sookdee in Evanston, IL (the best Chicken Pad Thai in the Chicago area).
During a break in the board game action, I grabbed the guitar and started noodling a bit when Ted said "Hey let's write a song." So I started playing the chords that became the song and Ted started his "speech" about Ants. It all happened right there on the spot. Luckily we remembered the entire song and we were able to capture it in the studio the following weekend. It even later became a video:
This story illustrates one of the things that I love about the experiences we had making 365 songs. There's a story behind every one of them - a story about collaborating with highly talented people to create something new. I've occasionally been asked what I got out of The Song Of The Day or if it "paid off." For me, memories such as these are the payoff.

I'm a chocolate girl through and through. In my family, a dessert isn't a dessert unless it incorporates some aspect of chocolate. I have learned to appreciate fruity pies and other things but when someone says "dessert" my mind automatically conjures up a piece of chocolate cake. Cheesecake. Chocolate cheesecake… if beggars can be choosers.
Growing up, my grandma would hand make beautiful themed cakes for all of the grand kids birthdays (there's 12 of us). While she'd always incorporate some other flavor into a small section of her elaborate creations for those poor souls who didn't know the joy of growing up in a chocolate addicted family, when it came to choosing a flavor for the bulk of the cake no questions were asked. It was going to be chocolate. Those cakes remain one of my dearest childhood memories.
When I cut out sugar 14 months ago and a few months later decided to continue with a diet that excluded refined sugar, I quickly realized I would need to get creative. We're talking crisis mode. Chocolate and sugar often go hand in hand. You're going to be hard pressed to find chocolate based desserts or even chocolate bars that do not contain added refined sugars unless you make your own. So what was a girl to do? Google! There are tons of recipes online that use refined sugar alternatives and having baked my entire life, a made from scratch solution was just what I was looking for. I was determined to find the perfect recipe before my birthday arrived.
That's when I discovered Chocolate Covered Katie. She has created an extremely popular healthy baking blog. After a quick glance at her website I knew I had found my girl. Katie's recipes include healthier alternatives to many of your standard baking ingredients, such as refined sugar. It did not take me long to settle on her Refined Sugar Free Chocolate Cake which features both gluten free and vegan options. I've made this cake 3 times now.
Once of the things I love about Katie's recipes, is that she makes them as customizable as possible. In place of cows milk, I've used almond and coconut milk in the past and I opt for coconut oil and a gluten free flour blend. I also use equal parts Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocoa and Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa for a richer chocolate taste.
My taste buds have changed over the last year with the reduction in my sugar consumption and I've found that the called for 1/2 cup of maple syrup makes the cake too sweet for me. I reduce it slightly to between 1/4 – 1/2 cup (depending on who will be joining me in consuming… I'm unashamed to admit that I have eaten the entire cake by myself… not in one sitting of course!). I usually double the recipe using (2) 8′ round baking pans and I also add in 1/2 cup dark chocolate baking chunks per layer (so a full cup when doubling the recipe). That's probably not necessary but again, I love chocolate and, why not?
Katie has many frosting recipes and glazes on her website as well but when I originally made her cake recipe I did not have the correct ingredients for the frosting recipe I had selected, so I found and have continued to use this 5 Minute Vegan Chocolate Frosting instead. I'd love to find a delicious refined sugar free peanut butter frosting recipe. Katie has a slew of them on her website. Mmmmm… that would be a winning combo right there.
When I don't want an entire cake taunting me from the kitchen, I opt for a single square from chocolate bars that are comprised of at least 88% dark chocolate to cure my cravings. These bars generally have 6 grams of sugar or less per serving. A serving is usually half of the bar. The bars are often broken down into 12 squares so when you reduce the serving size down to 1 square per serving, that's less than 1 gram of sugar! Not bad and just enough chocolate to give me the fix I'm looking for. Here is one of my favorites. This is another. What's your "go-to" chocolate?

Want to really, really complicate your life?
Go do some crimes. And don't let an arrest – or two, or three – get in your way.
Each day as I wander wide-eyed through the dimly lit corridors of the Solano County Hall of Justice, I encounter dozens of home-grown career criminals who steadfastly refuse to give in to societal pressures and abandon their arduous paths through the California judicial system.
I should, perhaps, explain that the popular concept of "career criminal" doesn't exactly fit with what one finds here in S'lano County, where men are men and women know their Miranda rights by heart.
When the average citizen thinks "career criminal" they imagine a slick holdup man with a string of daring bank robberies under his belt, or perhaps a wily international arms smuggler hustling automatic weapons between Rotterdam and Redondo Beach.
In S'lano County, "career criminal" usually means a guy who has a few drinks for breakfast, writes a bad check for his rent, punches out his landlord and then drives woozily down to the corner convenience market to attempt an armed robbery while brandishing a bent golf club.
And that's, like, just one day.
Monday, for instance.
On Tuesday, our career criminal might decide to vary his routine by cooking some methamphetamines, appropriating the mag wheels off someone else's rusty 1988 Impala and then trying to sell them to an off-duty police sergeant while parked in front of – or on top of – a fire hydrant.
I know at first glance this might seem somewhat exaggerated, but the fact is, there are plenty of hard-working desperadoes down at the old Hall of Justice who are at least this busy on a daily basis.
It's not unusual for one individual to trundle into Superior Court trailing a half-dozen different criminal cases in various stages of adjudication.
We're not talking about part-timers here, amigos.
This kind of career requires hard work and dedication – plus the ability to get caught each and every time you decide to shoplift a six-pack from Elmo's Liquor Emporium or siphon gas from an unmarked police car.
Not long ago, I ran across an enterprising defendant (name withheld to avoid embarrassment) who was in court for hit-and-run driving on one case, forgery on another, welfare fraud on a third, assault with a deadly weapon on yet another, possession of methamphetamines on a fifth and battery on another.
About the only thing we're missing here is piracy on the high seas, and I'm sure that's just a matter of time.
(Arrrrrr, matey…)
With an arraignment here, a plea there and the occasional jury trial, these frequent flier felons no longer have mere court appearances, they have careers. This is eight-hours-a-day stuff.

Family members of a 79-year-old Kalihi woman who was reported missing several days ago are clinging to hope that she will be found soon.
Police conducted a helicopter search in the Kalihi area yesterday.
"We keep praying that she is still alive," said Amador Manzano, youngest son of Anicia Manzano.
Manzano was last seen by her family members about 11:30 a.m. Thursday at her Kalihi home at 1707 Kamehameha IV Road. Family members say she has Alzheimer's disease.
Manzano's son said she went missing three times between October and December, but was always found within hours either by the police or a good Samaritan. In two of the three instances, Manzano, whose nickname is Aning, caught the bus but could not find her way back home.
Once, a couple found her at a gas station near Times Super Market in Waipahu. The following month, police found her at a bus terminal in Waipahu.
On Dec. 3, Manzano's son said he received a call from staff at the Queen's Medical Center after a good Samaritan dropped her off at the hospital.
This is the first time that she has been missing for more than a day.
Manzano's son said his mother started to become less mobile in September. Before her health worsened, she and husband of more than 55 years, Honorio, regularly caught the bus to attend Sunday mass together at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace on Bishop Street. She also used to catch the bus to Kamehameha Shopping Center to go grocery shopping.
Manzano's son said his mother continued to take daily walks in her neighborhood. She does not have her bus pass or identification card with her. Manzano's son also said she rarely speaks.
Since Thursday, family members have spent every night posting fliers, checking bus stops from Kalihi to Waikiki as well as shopping malls and parks. Relatives have also searched the Waipahu area without success.
Manzano's son said he believes his mother may not be alive, based on the length of time she has been missing. Still, he hopes police will be able to find her, saying it's more difficult not knowing where she is.
"We keep waiting, looking around, can't find her," he said. "We don't know what happened to her."
Manzano, mother of four, was last seen wearing a red-and-yellow print dress, a green sweater with a gecko graphic emblazoned on the front and slippers. She is of Filipino descent, 5-foot-2 and 90 pounds.

The Star: Postal worker advised drug trafficker about mailing dope, prosecutors allege
A Kansas City area postal worker allegedly advised the leader of a wide-ranging drug trafficking conspiracy about the best way to send dope through the mail, according to indictments announced Thursday.
Prosecutors alleged that Carlos L. Hamilton, a 30-year-old postal worker from Kansas City, Kan., told Rasheed G. Shakur, 40, of Kansas City, about postal security procedures and suggested ways to ship drugs through the mail.

text: I know I'm nearly 15 years late on this, but this weekend I picked up Initial D First stage. I have to say I was impressed. It is the cliched "tournament" show; where the protagonist is alway increasing is skills to face the next impossible opponent. That said moving that genre to auto racing is a logical move. The characers are interesting. Especially the main character Takume, who's legendary father stared to Myagi him into a skilled racer at a very young age. Because of this Takume hates driving because he sees it as work, and cannot imagine how anyone could find racing fun. This begins to change as the series confines as he finds his passion for competion. Overall, if you haven't see Initial D yet in the preceding decade its worth the pickup.

17-year-old Chirstopher Roupe was shot and killed by Georgia police after answering the door to his family's home.
Police claim Roupe was pointing a gun, Roupe's family claims the teen was watching a movie at home and was holding a Ninendo Wii Remote.
Christopher Roupe was going to enlist with the United States Marine Corps upon graduating from high school.
Euharlee, GA police were responding to the Roupe family's home to arrest Christopher's father on a charge of violation of probation. When Christopher answered the door, an unidentified police officer opened fire and killed Roupe with a single bullet.
Euharlee Police assert that the teen pointed a handgun directly at the arresting officer, and the officer responded by discharging her firearm.
"It just doesn't add up." Attorney Cole Law told local news station WSBTV "He heard a knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the chest."
The unidentified female officer, who has been placed on administrative leave, reportedly broke down at the scene after learning what had befallen Roupe.
The incident is under going review by the George Bureau of Investigation

3 Democrats vie for Aurora statehouse seat
Three Democrats are running for the state House seat Rep. Karen Middleton will be leaving.
The winner will be chosen at a vacancy committee meeting in Aurora on Saturday.
The candidates are:
* Sean Bradley, a former state Capitol aide for Speaker Andrew Romanoff. Bradley now works as the national political director for an education reform group, the American Federation for Children.
* Carlos Estrada, a former labor organizer who was a field organizer for Ken Salazar's Senate campaign. He now works for Cancer Action Network.
* Rhonda Fields, a United Airlines employee and the mother of a murder victim. After her son's death, she testified on various bills at the Capitol.
Middleton, an Aurora Democrat, announced last week she was dropping her re-election bid because she has taken a political job. Her name will still be on Tuesday's primary ballot, but she plans to resign as the Democratic nominee, which is why the committee is picking someone new for the November ballot. She plans to resign her seat at the end of the year.
All three candidates are minorities at a time when Democrats are worried about boosting minority representation at the Capitol. Fields and Bradley are black, Estrada is Hispanic.
The Democratic nominee faces Republican Sally Mounier in the general election.
The vacancy committee will meet at 10 a.m. at Arapahoe County Democratic Party headquarters, 15445 E. Iliff Ave.

As head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar, Mike Ryan brings his signature culinary flair to the crafted cocktail. A Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago graduate, former Moto sous chef, and self-described "shot and a beer guy," Ryan became accidentally enamored with bartending while working as a cook at Fulton Market restaurant Moto between 2005 and 2008. [Owner Homaro Cantu] "wanted a cook behind the bar," remembers Ryan. "I was literally looking up things like highballs in a book." Soon, Ryan became interested in the possibilities presented by unusual spirits, classic mixes and new flavor profiles.

Starting out in a high volume café at the age of 15, Sam Ross quickly fell in love – in lust, you could say – with the operations of working a bar. After a short stint washing glasses and lugging cases of beer, Ross started on the espresso machine, and fondly remembers pumping out cafe lattes to a 200-seat café. After finishing school, he helped his mother and sister open their own cocktail bar in Melbourne, Australia, called Ginger in 2001 – and it wasn't long before cocktails were all he could think about.

Parallel imbalances up to 0.5 mm. Axial imbalances up to 1.7 mm.
The couplings are bored for taper lock in order to allow maximum flexibility with reference to the shaft diameters. They can be used at temperatures from -40 degrees to +100 degrees.
It is easy to install and remove HRC couplings and in case of breakdowns, a new coupling is quickly installed due to the taper lock mounting.
The couplings are used for all industrial applications where two shafts have to be connected.

Commonwealth Bank Regional vs Metro Charity Match
Special thanks to staff from Commonwealth Bank who participated in the annual Regional vs Metro charity football match recently to raise funds to support Australian families living with cancer.
Our Managing Director, Eric Wright, was joined by Bo Bear to toss the coin before the game. Incredibly the two regions hosting the match raised more than $8,000 to support the revitalisation of the Commonwealth Bank Room at Fight Cancer Foundation's North Melbourne accommodation centre.
The room provides children staying at the accommodation centre with a play area where they can explore the toys and books we have available. Thanks to Rapid Relief Team AU for supporting the event and treating the players with a sausage sizzle post-match!
Stay tuned for more details on the makeover of the Commonwealth Bank Room!

Joel, Austin, TX asked:
The alphabet-with- your-tongue trick: overrated?
Hell, yes. It's a cute tactic, and I admire the effort, but a man who dutifully tries to A-B-C my clitoris won't be seeing my O-face anytime soon. Scrumptious oral sex can certainly include the tip of your tongue dancing across a 2-square-inch region, but it also calls for more wide-ranging exploration. Caress her with the smooth under-side of your tongue, nuzzle with your lips, and stroke with the pads of your fingers -- sometimes all at once!

Talking about me is hard. What should I write: An artist, a doll maker, an enthusiastic person about everything in the world, a dreamer, mother of two little naughty kids...
I am the person behind the label Loulabee since 2007, trying to make dolls during my daily creative chaos.
Happy to create these little people and share them with you. Their stories are fictional, but also have many things from my children and from our daily life.
As an artist and a doll maker, I work mostly with heart and hands. Basically the hands follow the heart. The heart sings, the hands dance. As soon as the brain gets too loud, the hands cannot produce anymore.
It is for me the same either I am painting or making dolls. I never know at the beginning what the result will look like. When I am painting I have a canvas, so I know how big the painting will be. The rest is just pouring the heart onto that space. I don't know what makes me satisfied with the painting, what makes me say, when it is finished. As I am making dolls it is similar, I basically know how big it will be, but not even know if it will be a girl, boy, blond or black… I just have a bunch of wool in the hand and the journey starts. Sometimes I am super happy with it, sometimes less, but it is always surprising at the end.
I believe that a doll is a product which comes from the heart. Thus if the doll maker's and doll lover's hearts sing the same song they find each other.
Happy to have you here, sharing the moments of our life through my dolls and their stories.

Jim Ladd, freeform radio disc jockey, lost his L.A. postion at KLOS FM in October 2011. SiriusXm has given Jim Ladd 4 hours M-F on Channel 27 (Deep Tracks) to play his legendary freeform rock format to a huge audience recently and I tuned into his show during his first week. Having never heard Jim Ladd before, other than the Deep Tracks promotions, I had no expectations, other than it was Deep Tracks so he had to be good. Thirty minutes in I was not impressed. Classic Vinyl maybe, but Deep Tracks? I heard Mickey Thomas and Starship along with Jim walking on tracks…I turned the channel. After going to his Facebook Fan Page to voice my dislike of the show, I was greeted by his loyal fans telling me to give Jim a chance.
After hearing from Jim Ladd personally via Facebook, I gave his show another listen, another and another. Yes I heard classic rock tracks, but in a Jim Ladd themed segment/program. His "walking" on tracks was Jim being a part of the music. I also did research on Jim and found out how historic his career has been. The L.A. Weekly stated, "They fired Jim Ladd on a Tuesday. Ladd had been the nighttime DJ on L.A. classic rock station KLOS, in various incarnations, since 1969. He's a rare DJ with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and inspired Tom Petty's song "The Last DJ."..Known for his access to stars like Petty, Jackson Browne, Don Henley and Roger Waters, Ladd's late-evening show employed a concept he called "Theater of the Mind," more like storytelling than simply playing a series of unrelated songs. A war-themed program might feature "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath segueing into "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills & Nash and Young, leading into "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. Ladd interviewed John Lennon in 1974, and, while at KMET, was also pivotal in bringing the news of his assassination to local audiences in 1980."
Jim Ladd is a true RnR gem and has found a home on satellite radio and with me.

LS1-Powered 1984 Pontiac Trans Am - Richter Scale Road Ripper
LS1-Powered 1984 Pontiac Trans Am - Richter Scale Road Ripper
When Wade Flannery of Paris, Kentucky, received an '84 Trans Am as a high school graduation present in 2003, he had no idea that it was destined to beat out other Firebirds and Trans Ams at the 2007 Trans Am Nationals for Best of Show, but it did. "I have always wanted to build cars, and this is my first," the 21-year-old tells HPP. "But more than that, I wanted a magazine car. I thought that by bringing my Trans Am to the Trans Am Nationals, I could share my dream with others."
Since an '84 Trans Am is an unlikely candidate for Best of Show at the T/A Nationals, how did a freshman to the hobby accomplish such a feat? "I've always worked on cars, even when I was little," Flannery says. "At 12, I helped my dad with a '91 Chevy Silverado show truck. At 15, I modified a '91 Camaro Z-28. At 18, I was ready to tackle a Trans Am and build the show car I could be proud of."
Finding the project was Flannery's first step, and he had help from Darrell, his father. "We took off one day to go check out a Trans Am we were told about, and we found it in the country sitting in front of a trailer. It turns out it was an '84 Trans Am with a five-speed. I was excited and knew it would be my project because I wanted a true T/A manual-shift car to start with," Flannery says.
"Like many early year Third-Gens, my '84 Trans Am was neglected," he remembers. "The body looked solid, but the interior was trashed. It was all broken apart, and sported an early '80s Camaro steering wheel. The seats had covers on them, hiding the shredded factory cloth. There was no radio, heater, A/C or shifter boot."
If the interior wasn't bad enough-and it was-Flannery was taken aback when he lifted the Trans Am hood and saw purposeful abuse. "The engine compartment looked as if it had been on fire. Wires were cut and missing. Oil and grease were everywhere.
"But as bad as it appeared, the car had potential. It had three things I was looking for: It was a T/A, it could be driven home, and it was cheap-$800."
Without a second thought, Flannery accepted the Trans Am from his parents in as-is condition, with the understanding that it was up to him to customize it himself. Dad wasn't going to do the work for him. "Do something with the car or get it out of the way," Flannery recalls his father saying to him. With two years of limited resources and his driveway as his only workspace, Flannery worked on the project occasionally. But when his family built a new garage, picking up the pace on the Trans Am became an easier prospect. With enthusiasm, he embarked on a two-year customizing project that would involve 1,800 hours and a complete transformation of his Third-Gen T/A.
First, Flannery took the body down to bare metal. "I did it by hand and took off every last bolt," he says. "I shaved the door handles and rear markers, and fitted a Fourth-Gen-style rear wing. Then I cut out the rust and welded in patch panels. I spent months smoothing out the engine bay's weld seams. The rest was basic body work: fill, sand, block-sand, and prime."
Once he was satisfied that he had a straight body, Flannery outsourced the paintwork on the Trans Am to an outside firm. He designed the graphics and chose PPG brand paints, however. Three coats of primer were applied, followed by one coat of Crystal Black base. Then came two coats of Star Fire base, two coats of Liquid Metal Aluminum for the graphics, one coat of Crystal Black to create a two-tone, four coats of Oh So Sexy Candy Red and three coats of clear.
When determining the drivetrain config-uration, Flannery went back to his inspiration-a '92 Firebird he saw at Hawks Third Generation. "I ordered a Tubular K-member like I saw in the company's show car," he says, "and I asked Bruce at Hawks how he had done similar conversions."
The drivetrain for the '84 came complete from a wrecked '98 T/A. It features the LS1 cast aluminum block with 6-bolt, cross-bolted main caps and a 3.9x3.62 bore/stroke. A GM nodular iron crankshaft, powdered metal steel connecting rods and hypereutectic aluminum pistons make up the rotating assembly. A ported oil pump from SLP provides high pressure and high volume oil delivery. The heads are No. 853s that were milled 0.008 by Back's Cylinder Head Services of Lexington, Kentucky, to ensure a flat surface and raise the compression ratio to 11:1. That's slightly higher than the factory compression of 10.25:1, while still allowing the Trans Am to drink premium pump gas.
Comp pushrods activate GM 1.7-ratio rockers that compress Patriot Dual Gold springs to open and close GM 2.00/1.55 valves. The valvetrain is directed by an LG Motorsports G5X2 roller cam with 232/240-degrees duration, 0.595/0.608 lift and a 112-degree LSA.
Flannery retained the stock MAF and 75mm throttle body. In the Fourth-Gen transplant's ignition system, spark travels from distributorless coil packs to Taylor 9mm wires and NGK TR55 plugs. Exhaust exits from Hawk's stainless steel long-tube headers, featuring 1 5/8-inch primaries and 2 1/2-inch collectors, and ends in 2 1/2-inch turndowns.
Air is fed from a component-style custom air intake tube, supplied by Spectra Performance, and consists of a rubber 90-degree elbow, various tubes and reducers and a stainless steel cone air filter. "I like the modular components of this product because it allowed me to build the air intake system myself," Flannery says.
Mounting a Fourth-Gen drivetrain into the Third-Gen was simple, according to Flannery. "The Hawks K-member is a great design. I lowered the LS1/T56 onto the K-member and bolted it into place. Then I raised the entire drivetrain underneath the '84 T/A and attached it to the unibody. Next, I bolted in a Spohn T56 crossmember with trans mount and safety loop and a Spohn adjustable torque arm-and the drivetrain was fully mounted and ready to wire."
To efficiently deliver the power rearward, Flannery used a Spec Stage II single-disc clutch and steel flywheel. An aluminum Fourth-Gen driveshaft was employed and he installed a narrowed '98 T/A rear after adding Ford 9-inch housing ends, a Moser stud girdle, 4.10 gears to the stock limited-slip unit, and Moser 33-spline axles.
The next step of the project was the fuel system, including minor modifications to a '98 T/A fuel tank. "I had to remove two inches from the neck of the tank and mount it back to its body with a rubber hose and clamps-it now fits perfectly in the '84." He also installed a Racetronix 255 lph electric fuel pump in place of the OE unit. Using the entire fuel system from the LS1 allowed Flannery to transplant the LS1 engine into the '84 T/A without much modification except for an "owner's choice" LS6 intake with stock 28-pound injectors. "I used a Corvette C5 fuel filter, which is integral with two fuel lines, a send and a return, and mounted it to the underside of the T/A near the framerails," he says. He ran a braided-steel AN fitting line underneath the Trans Am and forward to the engine's fuel rails. "The fuel system thinks that it's still functioning inside of a Fourth-Gen Trans Am. It can't tell the difference.
"The only difficulty in this project was the '98 wiring harness," Flannery confides. "It was not a stand-alone. I was told by Hawks that they could edit the wiring harness to make it work. I integrated the edited wiring harness to the '91 dash and used a converter box from Hawks to modify the speedometer and tach signals into a format that is recognized by my speedo and tach." The harness sends/receives the signal from a '98 T/A ECM, which was custom tuned by Shocker Inc. Racing, of Lexington, Kentucky.
Suspension And Rolling Stock
For a ride the Third-Gen Trans Ams never came with, Flannery outfitted his T/A with the Air Ride Technologies' RidePROe2(r) (ARC4000e2) Compressor System to control the Cool Ride air springs at the four corners. It allows the T/A to lower its ride height and improve the ride quality and performance capabilities of the suspension-all at the flip of a switch. "I wanted the Trans Am to have a low stance. With Air Ride, I can raise the car to transport it, and lower it for shows. To top it all off, the Air Ride suspension gives the Pontiac an incredibly smooth ride. I never imagined a Trans Am could ride so nicely."
UMI subframe connectors decrease body flex, and Energy Suspension urethane bushings limit deflection at the suspension attaching points.
Custom wheels continue the radical theme of this '84 T/A: Boze ZE forged mesh with gunmetal finish and custom engraved center caps in 18x8 and 18x9.5 sizes are wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 225/45ZR18 and Drag Radial 275/35R18 rubber.
With success proven by his Best of Show trophy, Flannery comfortably looks back at the long road taken to get to Dayton, Ohio, and the Trans Am Nationals. "It took a lot of long nights, hard work, and money, but I achieved my goal. I have always liked Third-Gens, and I wanted to build one to show people that they can be made into nice cars and are not just junk.
"I have learned so much through this build that will be very valuable. The most important thing is just how much work, time and money it takes to completely build a car yourself. I don't know if I will ever build one of this magnitude for myself again, or have the chance, but I have enjoyed it, the people that I have met, and the opportunities it has brought me. Not only did I build this car at a young age, but I did it going to college full-time in the morning and working a full-time second-shift job 10 hours each night. I am currently finishing up my second and third degrees. If I want to keep building Pontiacs like this, I need to stay on top of my education so I can afford this hobby."
