About MeMy name is Macey and I am a 22 year old student studying nursing at Penn State Altoona. I am a mom of 3 kids, my second son being my guardian angel because he passed away when he was 3 months old in 2008. I have always wanted to model and I absolutely LOVE to sing but it is so hard getting noticed in such a small town. My goals for my future are graduating from nursing but also to be discovered and be a model. I know that I am not tall enough to be a runway model (which is really disappointing, but it's not my fault that I am not as tall as I wish I was) but I am open to any other modeling. I think it would be fun to be a bikini or lingerie model but would take anything I could get right now.

Kündigungsschutz aus institutionenökonomischer Perspektive / Employment Protection in an Institutional Perspective
Using the analytical tools of New Institutional Economics it can be shown that efficient employment protection should be differentiated according to the amount and kind of the worker's investment in human capital. Hence, employment protection serves different purposes in different cases. A worker with firm-specific qualifications has to be protected from opportunistic behaviour by the employer, whereas employment protection for generally qualified workers serves as a means of restraining competition through equally qualified outsiders. Due to informational disadvantages of labor jurisdiction, legal employment protection should be partially substituted by implicit contracts on employment protection.

ST. PAUL — The absentee voting period for Nov. 5 elections statewide begins today and ends Nov. 4, Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie announced Friday.
Independent School District 834 is asking district voters to renew an expiring operting levy for eight years. ISD 834 is one of 113 school districts holding elections for school board members and/or will have ballot questions Nov. 5. More than 35 municipalities across the state hold elections that day for various city offices, and special primary elections for select district commissioners are in Lake and St. Louis counties.
Eligible voters can register up until 5 p.m. Oct. 15. Pre-registration is not required, and eligible voters can register at their polling place on Election Day.
Current law allows an eligible Minnesota voter to cast an absentee ballot for: absence from the precinct; observance of religious discipline or holiday; illness or disability; serving as an election judge in another precinct, or when an emergency is declared by the governor or quarantine is declared by the federal or state government.
As a result of a new law passed by this spring by the Minnesota Legislature, voters will be able to cast absentee ballots without providing an excuse beginning with the August 2014 state primary.
To ensure their absentee ballot is successfully cast and counted, voters must follow the instructions and fill out the required forms completely. In addition, the online absentee ballot lookup tool allows voters to track the progress of their ballot to ensure it has been successfully counted. Absentee voting forms, voter information and the absentee ballot lookup can be found by visiting www.mnvotes.org. For information regarding in-person absentee voting, voters should contact their municipal clerk, school district clerk or county auditor.
Military and overseas voters have different absentee balloting procedures. Information is available for these voters at:
"I encourage all eligible voters who are unable to get to their precinct polling place on Election Day, to participate in our democracy by casting an absentee ballot," Ritchie said.

Does anyone know of a tutorial or set of instructions on how to make a ring box whether out of gumpaste or out of cake?
I need to make one for my sisters engagement cake.
I dont know of instructions per say but you can figure it out easily - you dont need instructions - if its out of cake - cover square cake in bc, and you could either cover in fondant or cut pastillage sides for it.
if its for the topper, then just assemble a box out of dried squares of gumpaste - using royal icing.
Will this help at all?
I just made my first one - delivered today. I actually used the link momade gave you for most of it. I ordered the diamond mold from www.decoratethecake.com. I am very new to fondant work, etc...and I honestly almost had a heart attack with this cake! LOL .They wanted cream and cranberry - which were problematic enough in that the cream fondant picked up every speck of everything and the cranberry was near impossible for me to color. It was very difficult for me to get the diamond to work - problems were with the sugar and band. I ordered the 3.5 diamond mold which was huge - I needed to have my dad make a support for the band out of PVC pipe which I don't like to use non-edible stuff, but had no choice, ran out of time. Finally got a good diamond and then I couldn't get my gold luster dust painted on.....long story short - I got it done and the client was very happy with it, but it was a lot of work and probably not my best choice for being so new. Not sure what your sugar work experience is but for what it's worth, if I was doing it again, I would PROBABLY just get a diamond paperweight from Michael's like a lot of people do, or do the mold out of white chocolate w/ silver luster dust. The top of the box w the bow I used RCT. I'd post a pic if I could, but I can't seem to upload any pictures for the past few weeks.
Thanks ladies for your replies. I went on the link though and everytime I press on the instruction link it says page not found.
I think I am worried more about the lid, how to keep it open and secure it. I have a fake diamond that I will make the ring out of.
Does anyone have an idea on how to deal with the lid?
I've made the engagement ring box out of RKTs covered with fondant. It made it very easy to have the top of the box open partway, because what I did was to stick two toothpicks in one of the top edges of the finished box at the angle I wanted the lid and then I pushed the finished lid straight into the toothpicks. Worked like a charm. If your ring box is made of cake, though, I'm not sure what you could do.
I made mine out of RKT and proped it onto the side of the cake. Here is a link - I can't upload pics to cc anymore.
My ring needs help, I know But all and all, I got through it... I hope to make it again in a better color combo and do a better job all round w/ the diamond.
what is RKT? I am fairly new to this site and the lingo gets a little lost on me

Happy July, Beach Readers!
Summer is in full swing–and that means its prime time for beachside reading! And what better way to kick off our Beach Reads Book Club than with a novel written by the master of beach-appropriate literature, Elin Hilderbrand. Elin has lived on Nantucket for 20 years (For all you who've visited the New England paradise, expect a few references to hot spots around town in her books.) and all of her novels have been set on the island.
Her twelfth novel, Beautiful Day, is no exception. (If you haven't picked up a copy, purchase it here.) The book spans just a single weekend, as two families gather on Nantucket for a summer wedding. All of the details of the wedding have been planned according to the wishes of the bride's deceased mother, which were kept in a notebook she left behind after her death. (We're already intrigued! For a full description, click here.)
We've already been hearing great things about the book, and Elin's knack for creating incredibly relatable characters and passion for painting such a dreamy picture of her hometown will no doubt make this the perfect book to bring along to the sand this month.
So, we hope you'll follow along with us! We'll be discussing a different portion of the book each week, plus sharing a few Q&As from Elin, too. Here's the schedule for our blog post discussions, if you'd like to join in:
Wednesday, July 10 – Thursday (Pgs. 1 – 108)
Wednesday, July 17 – Friday (Pgs. 108 – 215)
Monday, July 22 – Saturday & Sunday (Pgs. 215 – end)
And, don't forget to join us Monday, July 22, at 7 PM EST for a live Twitter chat with Elin!
Happy Reading!

Self taught and, consequently, now very self evident. I grew up in a country town so it was either play golf or skateboard. Thankfully, the former appealed more.
The Australian, Sydney. I've waited a very long time to be a member and it is such a pleasure to be surrounded by the history and elegance of the club.
Not something I take for granted. The current wholesale redevelopment of the course by Jack Nicklaus is very exciting to watch unfold, and it will be an even greater privilege to play there once completed early next year.
Oscillates wildly around 18; the delta can be 10 shots either side.
Too many clubs in the quiver. It looked to me like 30 at last count, but it could be more. I'm not a big rule breaker. The whole concept of a self-sponsored adherence to a code of rules and ethics is what attracts me to the game.
TaylorMade progressives (I know, unplayable off 18); Nike driver (the marketing worked) and a smattering of John Senden's discarded clubs he gave us in Augusta this year. Obligatory Scotty Cameron putter.
My club course, The Australian. A combination of a world-class golf course and clubhouse, with an old-world membership base and gentlemanly philosophy in every respect. My favourite hole is the 17th at Ellerston.
A good friend played the shot of his life there to win the day. The shot was PGA standard and he, most definitely, is not. Was incredible to witness, particularly the misplaced show of "what's all the fuss about" from the shot maker.
I can't split Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and my father, Ken. All three spend very little time over the ball before making a big play, and all envisage the same quality outcome. Two are self taught. One is yet to major.
Augusta National. I visited recently as a spectator, and it's beyond fair description.
An other-worldly, improbable arena. No mobiles, no logos, no electronic replay screens and wholly manual scoreboards. It is a bit surreal actually. I co-incidentally stood next to Brian Lara watching Mickelson put his card in at the clubhouse on the final day, both of us in awe of what we were experiencing.
The privilege of playing Ellerston (Scone), Shadow Creek (Las Vegas), Wolf Creek (Mesquite), Tokyo's Club 300 and Sage Valley (Georgia). Each time I play with my usual 4-ball. Great mates. Great levellers. We sort out an awful lot over 18 holes, and create the odd issue requiring future addressing.
Practise winning the ball toss at the start of a game, and don't take golfing tips from 18-markers.
There is no greater window into someone's personality, strengths and weaknesses – an austere reflection of life lived with dignity, social mores and boundaries.
Mickelson, Watson and K Jolliffe. Probably at Augusta National. Would be memorable for all and a most important ball toss to win.
The Australian Financial Review

Jason Aldean Considering Acting Career
Jason Aldean seems to have this "country music" thing in the bag — he is the genre's best-selling artist of the year, after all. So, what's next?
It sounds like a jump to Hollywood could be in the cards for the 'Dirt Road Anthem' singer, who recently revealed that he's been getting scripts — and considering a spot in front of the cameras.
Billy Dean Promotes Local Farming with New Album, 'The Seed'
It's been awhile since Billy Dean released some new music — and even longer since he tasted the kind of chart success he enjoyed with his first few albums in the early '90s — but he's making plans to change all that.
Dean has partnered with the Naturipe Farms collective for a series of new recordings, starting with a digital EP that's currently available on iTunes). He also has plans for a full album in the fall. It might sound like an unusual partnership, but country music and farming is a pretty natural fit — and Dean stands squarely behind the company's mission to help promote the sale of locally grown produce.
Lady Antebellum Shows Off Cover Art and Unveils Track Listing for New Album, 'Own the Night'
You'll have to wait until September 18 to buy the new Lady Antebellum album, but you can see it — and take a look at the song titles — right now.
The band has released the artwork and track listing for its upcoming third album, 'Own the Night,' which will contain a dozen songs, including the lead single (and Top 10 hit), 'Just a Kiss.'
Why Is Blake Shelton Working As a Tour Guide at the Grand Ole Opry?
This has been a banner year for Blake Shelton.
He got married to Miranda Lambert, he's a judge on NBC's hit competition series 'The Voice,' he has a number one country single and one of the year's best-selling albums — and now he's a tour guide for the Grand Ole Opry.
Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals Regret for Controversial GQ Interview [VIDEO]
Remember that interview Billy Ray Cyrus did with GQ awhile back — the one where he essentially accused Disney, and the fame the studio brought his daughter Miley, of destroying his family?
Well, Billy remembers it too. And now he wishes he could take it all back.
Lady Antebellum Debut 'Just a Kiss' Video [VIDEO]
After whetting fans' appetites with five-second preview clips, Lady Antebellum has finally revealed the full-length video for 'Just a Kiss,' the lead single from their upcoming third studio album, 'Own the Night.'
Not your garden-variety performance clip, the 'Just a Kiss' video tells a story, following the reminiscences of a young lady on a train. After boarding, she takes out an iPad and starts watching a video message that triggers romantic memories — interwoven, naturally, with clips of Lady Antebellum, performing in a train station.
The Band Perry Gets Song Advice from Tim McGraw
It's an old music business saying that you get your whole life to write the songs for your debut album, and then you get six months to put together the follow-up. But if you have to write on the clock, you might as well have an expert set of ears listening to the results, right?
The Band Perry has had an opportunity to do just that — while writing and rehearsing new material on the road with Tim McGraw, the sibling trio was happy to discover their megaplatinum headliner listening in.
Fire Claims Nashville Legend Jack Clement's Home and Studio
More than four decades of history went up in smoke on Saturday, when country music legend Cowboy Jack Clement lost his Nashville home in a blaze that also claimed his well-trafficked studio.
The 80-year-old Clement and his girlfriend escaped unharmed, along with their three cats and Clement's guitar collection — including his prize possession, a 1951 Gibson J200 that was once scratched by Elvis Presley's belt buckle. "I got my baby," said Clement. "That guitar means more to me than the house."
Martina McBride's Fans Forced To Wait — New Album Delayed Until October
It's been over two years since Martina McBride has delivered a full-length album of new material — and the wait just got a little longer for her fans.
McBride's upcoming release, which will be her eleventh studio set, was scheduled for August, but Universal Republic has pushed it back a few weeks — to October 18, to be exact. She addressed the change in a recent blog post, calling it "a decision the record company made in order to give us the best opportunity for a great first week in sales, which so many people pay attention to in the industry."
Watch! Miranda Lambert Gives Blake Shelton a Birthday Surprise [VIDEO]
Nobody really wants to work on their birthday, but if you're going to do it, you might as well do it on stage in front of thousands of screaming fans — and with your new wife leading everyone in a birthday sing-along in your honor.
That's just what happened to Blake Shelton last Saturday, when he celebrated his 35th birthday by opening for Brad Paisley — and was surprised during his set by the appearance of Mrs. Shelton, a.k.a. country star Miranda Lambert, who took the stage for a rendition of Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' before asking the crowd "to sing 'Happy Birthday' to my husband."
'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' Soundtrack Gets 10th-Anniversary Reissue
In case you weren't one of the nine million people who purchased it the first time around, UMG is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' soundtrack by reissuing it with a second disc, packed with unreleased tracks.
The Deluxe Edition reissue, due August 16, adds a 17-track bonus disc to the original soundtrack – including 13 songs that were recorded during the original sessions but were, for various reasons, left off the original release, including performances from Van Dyke Parks, T Bone Burnett, Norman Blake, and the Cox Family.
Justin Bieber Proclaims Love for Country Music
There's no escaping Justin Bieber these days – not on the radio, not at a theater near you, not at the NBA All-Star Game and not at the CMT Music Awards, where the 17-year-old recently picked up an award for Collaborative Video of the Year.
Though some country fans might have been taken aback to see Bieber sharing a screen with Rascal Flatts in the video for "That Should Be Me," he came by his affection for the genre the good old-fashioned way: from his mother.
"It's great," Bieber said after the show. "It's so many people my mother admires, 'cause she loves country music, and I do too. So it's really great to be here with Rascal Flatts."

Business, labor leaders urge House to pass $2.5B transportation bill
HARRISBURG — Business and labor groups on Tuesday urged the state House to swiftly approve a Senate-passed bill to provide $2.5 billion for transportation needs, saying the investment would keep Pennsylvania competitive.
The joining of interests that often battle each other was intended to send a message to House members that jobs and public safety are on the line.
The Allegheny Conference on Community Development joined the groups to push for House passage of the bill that would lift the wholesale cap on gasoline taxes and likely raise prices at the pump to repair roads, bridges and increase funding for mass transit.
"We can't afford to wait any longer. We're getting to the point where inaction is going to discourage businesses from expanding and locating in the Pittsburgh region," said Dennis Yablonsky, CEO of the Allegheny Conference.
But Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, an opponent of the Senate bill contacted after the press conference, said it's "outrageous that special interest groups are demanding that the legislature increase taxes on citizens." A $2.5 billion tax bill imposed "on the backs of working Pennsylvanians" is not a way to create jobs, said Metcalfe, R-Cranberry.
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, who opposes the bill, said he intends to call a vote.
That could come as early as next week.
Historically, when a leader in the legislature or Congress agrees to hold a vote on a bill he opposes, it often means there's an intention to see it fail, giving the leader negotiating power, said Christopher Borick, a political science professor at Muhlenberg College.
The potential exists for the bill to win approval with support of Democrats and a minority of the Republican Caucus, Metcalfe said. Metcalfe said only bills with majority support of the GOP Caucus should be voted.
House Republicans intended to discuss the bill, a priority of Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's, behind closed doors Tuesday, said House GOP spokesman Stephen Miskin.
"It's time to fund transportation and transit and keep our region — and the whole state — competitive," said Yablonsky.
Inaction, he said, would hurt transit not only in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh but in 67 counties. Transportation is "a core function of government," he said.
"God help us if we don't do this and something happens," said Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat. The cost of fixing roads and bridges would double if lawmakers don't act now, DePasquale said, because such a bill would become off-limits in 2014, an election year.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said failing to act would mean "we're putting at risk job creation and young people moving to Allegheny County."

Christopher brings band to Scottdale Gazebo Concert series
Michael Christopher admits he is a fan of summer and enjoys the weather that comes with that time of year.
It would only make sense then that he and his band would play in the Scottdale Gazebo Concert series. Which they are scheduled to do from 7-9 p.m. Sunday at the gazebo.
"We play a ton of outdoor shows," Christopher said. "Honestly, I just love summertime and being outdoors. You have to enjoy the weather while you can in the northeast right? Scottdale is one of the few small towns left. It's got a great community feel."
This will mark the third or fourth time for Christopher to play in Scottdale by his recollection.
Christopher said he's had a band for five years. Joining him in the latest grouping are Zach Reeder, who handles lead guitar, piano and background vocals; Rich Gibson, pedal steel guitar, banjo, guitar and Dobro; Perry Pinto, bass guitar and background vocals and new drummer Keith Kleinhampl.
"This is the best group of guys/musicians I've ever had," Christopher said.
Christopher describes his band as one that fits into the modern country genre, the type of music heard on the radio.
According to the band's website, Christopher actually didn't discover country music until he was introduced to line dancing during his college years.
The storytelling within the songs made an impression on him, and from that moment he was hooked on the way country provided a narrative to the struggles and joys of everyday life. Shortly thereafter he began singing and playing guitar and found that country really suited his style.
"I would say, I'm somewhat traditional country with a slight rock edge," he said. "Musically, I'm influenced by a bunch of people. As far as country artists go, Dierks Bentley is probably the biggest influence. His music stands out and is different in a good way. Plus, he writes his own material. As a songwriter, I really respect that."
The Scottdale performance is one in a busy summer for Christopher and his band mates. There is a show scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Chestnut Ridge Resort in Blairsville.
"We've been playing places from Rehoboth Beach to Tennessee," Christopher said.
Just two concerts remain at the gazebo in 2013. They are:
Aug. 11 — Remnant
Aug. 18 — Scottdale Community Band at Loucks Park.
All concerts begin at 7 p.m.

* Qatar to benefit from global demand for regional credit (Adds analyst comment, background)
By Rachna Uppal
DUBAI, July 5 (Reuters) - The Gulf Arab state of Qatar is planning to issue Islamic bonds, or sukuk, for the first time in nearly a decade, as it seeks to take advantage of global demand for safe havens and sharia-compliant assets amid market uncertainty.
Qatar has mandated banks for investor meetings in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore starting on July 9, arranging banks said on Thursday, and a dollar-denominated sukuk issue may follow subject to market conditions.
The world's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter last tapped debt markets with a $5 billion conventional multi-tranche deal in November, but it has not issued a sukuk since 2003.
"Qatar is an extremely well-known name in the bond market, and its existing bonds are very liquid and trade frequently, so appetite, particularly from international investors for Qatari paper is huge," said Chavan Bhogaita, head of the markets strategy unit at National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
"In addition, the rarity value of having sukuk paper from a blue-chip issuer such as Qatar sovereign will certainly help to ensure a very healthy order book."
The AA-rated borrower is looking to tap solid demand from abundant Islamic and non-Islamic liquidity in the wake of successful recent deals from the region.
Earlier this week, Emirates Islamic Bank, a unit of Dubai's largest bank, received $5 billion in orders for a $500 million sukuk. About 30 percent of the deal was allocated to Asian accounts.
And last week, deals from the Bahrain government and Dubai's Majid al Futtaim Holding were substantially oversubscribed, and tellingly, indicated a growing international bid for regional debt.
Qatar has hired HSBC Holdings, Deutsche Bank , Standard Chartered Plc and local lenders Barwa Bank and QInvest to arrange the investor meetings.
Plans for a sukuk were announced on the same day that London's latest, and most glitzy, skyscraper, the Shard, in which Qatar is a majority investor, opens. (Editing by Dinesh Nair and Mark Potter)

Bodog switches to new brand in the US
US poker players can say goodbye to Bodog and say hello to Bovada, as the site made good on its promise to leave the US market by the end of the year, but instead of losing yet another online poker room Us players have simply seen their Bodog accounts migrated to the newly branded Bovada (which is essentially Bodog under a different name).
Bovada is still licensed by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group and players will have the same account details as before. Here is the statement released by Bodog which may shed some further light on what precisely the company has done:
"Following the Bodog Brand's decision to withdraw the brand from the U.S. market as announced earlier this year, as of today (Dec. 14, 2011) the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) will no longer operate under the Bodog name.
Whilst MMGG's brand licensing agreement does not formally expire until Dec. 31, as from today, U.S. residents will no longer be able to access bodog.eu or any other Bodog branded website.
We understand MMGG will now operate under its new brand, Bovada, at the following website: www.bovada.lv, such domain being given to MMGG pursuant to its rights on expiry of the licensing agreement.
The Bodog brand is confident MMGG's customer account information and funds will continue to remain safe and secure, as it has done since MMGG entered its original agreement with the Bodog Brand in 2006 and we would like to wish MMGG the greatest success in its new venture."
Here is a glimpse at the E-Mail that was sent to Bodog players:
Bodog.eu is changing — New Name, New Look, Same Great Service
The Morris Mohawk Gaming Group's ("MMGG") brand licensing agreement with the Bodog Brand is expiring at the end of this year and as a result MMGG will no longer be offering its services using the bodog name or from the website, bodog.eu.
From today, December 14th, MMGG will continue to operate as it has for over 4 years, just under its new name, BOVADA, at www. bovada.lv
Your account and balance has automatically been transferred to the new website and you are able to log in to the site using your existing account details and password.
PLEASE NOTE: As part of the transition process, there will be a scheduled outage overnight to both the old and new websites. We expect Bovada.lv to be live by 11:00 am ET on December 14th, 2011.
If you have any questions regarding your account or the new brand we ask that you contact the customer service team directly at 1-888-263-0000 or service @bovada.lv.
We hope you enjoy the new site!
So the new site, Bovada.lv, is for all intents and purposes Bodog under a new name –with a snazzy new layout that looks eerily reminiscent of the iconic Welcome to Nevada sign.

It's a good thing my parents don't read Booooooom!
Over 10 years ago, I accidentally reversed my parents van into a parked jeep in someone's driveway. It wasn't really all that bad, just a few dings. (The dings were even symmetrical on the back of the van! Almost unnoticeable!)
Well, the next day, my Dad and I were outside and he was like, "What happened to the van?" I totally lied to him and said "I have no idea." Wow, I'm a terrible person.
I ended up going to the dealer with my Mom when she got it fixed. They had to order an entirely new back door and it probably cost a fortune.
One of these days I'll apologize to them about this. This will be my practice:
"Dear Mom & Dad, remember that time about 12 years ago when the van had those big dents in the back? Yeah, that was me. Sorry for being a stupid 20 year old kid and not fessing up about it at the time."
I watched 'Helvetica' the other night on Netflix, and, well… I'm sorry, but I just didn't much enjoy it, as much as everyone else seemed to.

- Doug
I am not so naive as to believe that a simple apology could make right the devastation I've made of us. I've laid waste to the only source of happiness I have ever known in one single, thoughtless moment. Such efficient selfishness. I cannot imagine ever forgiving myself, and I won't risk the hope that you ever could. I do not ask for that, but I had to say something to let you know. I am sorry.
I apologise profusely for not knowing what the word profusely means… or theurgy. It is a word though.
It may please you to know I have found the definition: Theurgy (from Greek θεουργία) describes the practice of rituals, sometimes seen as magical in nature, performed with the intention of invoking the action or evoking the presence of one or more gods, especially with the goal of uniting with the divine, achieving henosis, and perfecting oneself.
I aplogise to wikipedia for copying and pasting so much.
Im sorry I slept with those girls. Will you marry me?

To my little sister, when we were kids, and she insisted i say "sorry" for something i did,instead id say "borry" and she really really didnt like that, for that im Sorry! :(
Sue Me! I made a mistake and now I have to live with it.
I apologize for not telling my boyfriend that I feed his dog organic fruits and veggies while he's away. I know he doesn't want the dog to eat "people food", but, come on, healthy dog diets (which I've researched) easily include portions of veggies/fruits.
Still, I shouldn't do it secretly.
- Phaedra
I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I'm just not sure what I'm sorry about.

Sorry for partying…
I'm sorry I'm too afraid to let anyone get to know me.
– I'm really sorry
– What for?
– I have a syndrome that makes me perpetually sorry
– Sh*t that sounds awful, sorry.
How beautiful, all these people saying sorry without meaning it & saying it as if they would say it every day. Ask one of these people to say it at a points in there lives when the person across them needs and deserve it the most.

You have always wanted to take this little bird and make her into a life of Your own. You gaze with such intricate eyes; they burn with color.. You have waited since the beginning of time to see her grow.. to give her strength.. to become her strength. The unconditional love you possess took me by surprise. I was transformed. You engraved me into your heart and I chose not to do the same. As i fly from you, tears drown out the reason for living. I feel the compassion you have always had for me.. You are mine and I am Your.. I have no reason to live without my Love. You know my sorrowful heart. You know the words before I have said them. In fact, You have already forgiven your bird.. I open my mouth. The words leave my lips and fly with wings.. I am defenseless to You, the One who made me live again.
wow there are some really incredible apologies here – i hope that some of you follow through on the serious ones!
Congratulations to Lauren you have won the final Mammoth print giveaway!
Stay tuned for more giveaways!

Most liberal media members and prominent Democrats including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took great offense to Sen. Scott Brown's (D-Mass.) joke concerning rival Elizabeth Warren not posing naked when she was in law school.
Quite surprisingly, when this matter came up on ABC's The View Monday, the ladies sided with Brown (multipart video follows with transcripts and commentary):
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, HOST: Can I just ask you about a little local spat? There was a back-and-forth between Elizabeth Warren and between Senator Brown in Massachusetts.
(UNKNOWN): To help pay for his law school education, Scott Brown posed for Cosmo. How did you pay for your college education?
ELIZABETH WARREN, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR: I kept my clothes on.
(UNKNOWN): Have you officially responded to Elizabeth Warren's comment about how she didn't take her clothes off?
SENATOR SCOTT BROWN (R-MASSACHUSETTS) : Thank God.
AMANPOUR: What did you make of all of that?
CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY PELOSI (D-CALIFORNIA): The response you just gave, "Thank god," really, I thought spoke volumes about how clueless Senator Brown is. It really spoke volumes about really disrespect for women that he may not even realize. I bet you he'd like to take that comment back.
AMANPOUR: Did you think it was kind of joke-y, for both of them?
PELOSI: Well, I think that -- she was asked a question. And -- and I -- I hope it's joke-y. And if it is, then hopefully he will take that comment back. But women know. They hear a comment like that, it tells you a lot about somebody.
Really? Let's see what the ladies of The View think:
WHOOPI GOLDBERG, CO-HOST: Senator Scott Brown is taking a lot of heat for comments he made about Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren. Now last week, Warren was asked about Scott Brown, you know, he posed in Cosmo in his youth. Okay, and he was naked. When he was in law school, okay, a thousand years ago.
JOY BEHAR, CO-HOST: To pay for law school.
GOLDBERG: To pay for law school. When Elizabeth Warren was asked how she paid for college, she said she kept her clothes on. Now, on a radio show afterwards, Scott Brown was asked, you know, what do you think of that? And he said, "Thank God."
[Audience laughter]
GOLDBERG: Now, there's a lot of fingers to be pointed in this.
SHERRI SHEPHERD, CO-HOST: Nancy Pelosi was saying that, you know, she wants him to take it back. She said he was clueless about women. Me, I don't have a problem with what he said. I think she made the first dig. I think people keep thinking they can say something and there's no ramifications back. It's just like when you talk about when you hit a man, expect him to turn around and pop you, too. It's like, so when they asked her, I think if she would have had fun with it, he would have had fun back.
BEHAR: She did have fun, though. She was laughing.
SHEPHERD: I think she was also making a dig, "I kept my clothes on," and he looked at her and was like, "Thank God you did." He responded the same way. I'm saying if she would have been complimentary, he would have been complimentary back.
BEHAR: You know what; I don't think Elizabeth Warren cares at all about this comment. She's, she's got a mission, she's going for it, she doesn't care. If they said Rudy Giuliani didn't take his clothes off, I'd say, "Thank God" to that also.
[Audience laughter]
SHEPHERD: Then what is Nancy, why is Nancy Pelosi getting all crazy about it, that he should apologize?
BEHAR: Because she feels as a woman that women should not be looked upon, they should not be judged by their looks.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK, CO-HOST: Who threw the first sword?
SHEPHERD: Who threw the first sword?
HASSELBECK: I think a woman did in this case
BEHAR: She didn't say such a bad thing. All she said was I didn't pay for law school by taking off my clothes.
SHEPHERD: But it was obviously taken as a dig.
GOLDBERG: You know, I'm looking at it, well, it is mild, but it's a dig nonetheless. So is "Thank God," because I'm looking at her like Scott Brown was saying, "Thank God you didn't have to do that like I did."
BEHAR: Oh, that's good, good spin, baby.
[Audience laughter]
SHEPHERD: You're such a wonderful person.
GOLDBERG: You know, because, here's what, here's how I think: you hear something, you make your decision what you think it means.
SHEPHERD: Right.
HASSELBECK: Right.
GOLDBERG: Now when I heard it, I have to tell you the truth, I didn't think he was, I thought he was saying, "Thank God you didn't have to do that."
SHEPHERD: Well, they said he was laughing when he made the comment, cause he said he was joking.
HASSELBECK: He's pretty blunt.
SHEPHERD: Not everybody looks good posing nude.
GOLDBERG: He is blunt, that's why I think he was being nice, cause if he had said what he meant, he could have said some other stuff, but he didn't. But you know what; we're going to say more stuff because that's what we get paid to do.
When the ladies of The View side with a Republican man over two Democrat women, it sure makes Pelosi look foolish for her answer and Amanpour absurd for even bringing this issue up.

One of the things that I love most about food is how certain flavors, smells and combinations have the power to evoke powerful reactions from us. For instance, a creamy, gooey mac n' cheese makes me long for the comforts of my childhood, my sofa and a pair of really warm, comfy socks.
The smell of mushrooms slowly cooking in a Madeira Wine sauce calls to mind family dinners of Chicken Marsala, where we would just stand around watching the magic happen in my mom's kitchen, waiting for dinner to be done. The aroma of a turkey roasting at Thanksgiving or the smell of a just-baked cake resting on the counter, each recalling wonderfully rich visceral memories.
Mujadarra is one of those dishes for me. This is simple to prepare, yet as flavorful and complex as were my college years. Going to college in New York City, learning who I really was, what I was capable of, exploring the wonders of one of the greatest cities in the world, while being introduced to new ideas in people, business, architecture, world cultures and, of course, food.
My college roommates and I often found ourselves trying to make ends meet in a city where exuberant extremes are almost commonplace. Luckily, a city where amazing food doesn't always have to be expensive and is usually pretty accessible, if you learn where to look.
Mujaddara was accessible, cheap, filling and, for us, most importantly – delicious. A dish I longed for, looked forward to and was always satisfied by. The Mujaddara I came to know, love and need during those years was rice based, peppered with tender brown lentils, caramelized onions, topped off with crispy fried onions and sometimes parsley.
When my friend Faith from An Edible Mosaic announced that she was writing a Middle Eastern Cookbook based on some of her husband's family favorites and cultural influences, I secretly hoped she would be including a recipe for one of my all-time favorite Middle Eastern dishes – Mujaddara.
Faith's book is one I have been looking forward to for a long time and when I was offered to receive an advance copy to review, I couldn't have been more excited! I had the book on pre-order on Amazon.com anyway and couldn't get my hands on it soon enough.
Flipping through trying to decide on which recipe to cook for this review was brutal. Here I am tabbing through and trying to make a shortlist, and recipe after recipe looks amazing. But when I saw the Mujaddara, I was so intrigued. I had never seen it done with Bulgur instead of Rice and was trying to imagine the taste and texture. Combining my fond memories of this dish and my love of Bulgur, I just knew this is what I would be making.
This dish didn't disappoint – it is a perfect rendition. Amazingly, I now prefer the bulgur to rice (which I didn't think I would). The dish comes together more quickly with the bulgur and the texture is awesome.
If you are a Middle Eastern food fan like I am, you are going to love this book! Faith does a great job breaking down specialty ingredients and techniques and makes this food accessible for every home cook.
Some other dishes from Faith's book I am really excited about making are…
- Mixed White and Yellow Rice
- Date Filled Cookies
- Sesame Seed Brittles
- Roasted Green Wheat (Farro) with Chicken
- Shawarma Chicken Wraps
- Shrimp in Aromatic Tomato Sauce
- Pistachio Sesame Cookies
In the meantime, here is the recipe for Mujadarra Burghul, courtesy of An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair by Faith Gorsky (Tuttle Publishing; Nov. 2012); reprinted with permission.
- To make this Vegan, omit the yogurt topping and use Earth Balance in place of Butter.
- To make this as 6 Weight Watchers Points Plus Per Serving instead of 7, reduce the Olive Oil and Butter to 1.5 T each.
- I didn't add yogurt so that is not included in the Points Plus calculation.
- I was out of whole cloves so I used one generous pinch of ground cloves and it was still fabulous!
Yields 6
7 Points Plus Per Serving Based on 6 Servings
10 minPrep Time
50 minCook Time
1 hrTotal Time
- 1 ¹/3 cups (275 g) dried brown lentils (or 2 cans brown lentils, rinsed and drained)
- 6 cups (1.5 liters) water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large onions, quartered and thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 pods cardamom, cracked open
- 2 cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup (185 g) coarse-ground bulgur wheat
- 1 1/2 cups (300 ml) boiling water
- Plain yogurt (optional, for serving)
- Sort through the lentils to remove any small stones or pieces of dirt, and then rinse with cold water in a colander. Bring the rinsed lentils and the water to a boil in a lidded medium saucepan. Cover the saucepan, turn the heat down to a simmer, and cook until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water as necessary so that they're always immersed; strain and set aside.
- While the lentils cook, heat the oil and the butter in a large skillet over moderately-high heat; add the onion and sauté until completely softened but not yet browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer half the onion to a small bowl and set aside. Continue cooking the remaining onion until deep caramel in color, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water as necessary if the onion starts to get too dark. Set aside.
- Put half a kettle of water on to boil. Transfer the sautéed onion (not the caramelized onion) to a medium saucepan. Add the bay leaf, cardamom, clove, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute.
- Add the bulgur and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
- Add the boiling water, turn the heat up to high, and bring to a rolling boil.
- Give the bulgur a stir, then cover the saucepan, turn the heat down to very low, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes (do not open the lid during this time). Turn the heat off and let the bulgur sit 10 minutes, then ?uff with a fork and gently stir in the lentils. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, and olive oil if desired.
- Transfer to a serving dish and top with the caramelized onion.

TORONTO, July 30 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index ended higher on Thursday, helped by a jump in shares of Open Text Corp after it upped its operating margin outlook, and a second day of gains for energy stocks that had recently slumped to six-year lows.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 80.98 points, or 0.57 percent, at 14,382.78. Eight of the 10 main groups on the index rose.
