All of the terms and conditions in the Eligibility Requirements, Naming Conventions and Acceptable Use Policy for the .museum Top-Level Domain, as stated at http://about.museum/policy/, apply to the registration of names containing IDN characters. The term "IDN character" is used here to designate any character included in a .museum name other than the twenty-six Latin letters <a-z>, the ten digits <0-9> and the hyphen <->. A character in the basic letter/digit/hyphen repertoire is an "LDH character" and a name consisting exclusively of LDH characters is an LDH name. An internationalized domain name is any name that contains one or more IDN characters. The corresponding distinction is made between an LDH label and an IDN label.
Any reference made in the basic policy document to separately stated IDN policies, refers to the terms and conditions set forth below. These policies are established and maintained by the Museum Domain Management Association (MuseDoma) pursuant to its Sponsorship Agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and conform to the ICANN Guidelines for the Implementation of Internationalized Domain Names Version 2.1.Every internationalized domain name registered in .museum, and every application of any policy described in this document, must be in full conformity with the technical requirements stated in RFC 3454, RFC 3490, RFC 3491, and RFC 3492.
The IDN characters that may be included in .museum names are listed at http://about.museum/idn/language.html. The character tables appearing there may be collated on the basis of script as described in the Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script Names at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24. Tables may also be based on individual languages or language groups, and may be further aggregated in terms of their use in clearly defined geopolitical regions or transnational cultural contexts. Specific policies may be separately applied to scripts, languages, and language groups.
The range of characters available in .museum is deliberately large to encourage the fullest possible participation of the worldwide museum community. However, each request for a name containing IDN characters is subject to review during an Eligibility and Name Selection (ENS) process as described in Section 5 below. The listing of a code point does not mean that a requested name in which it appears will automatically be allowed for registration.
The LDH sequence <museum> will of necessity appear as the top-level label in every .museum name. This label is therefore excluded from consideration in the application of policies based on script or language. The corresponding attributes of a name are determined by the characters appearing in its other labels.
Alphabetic characters that may be seen as orthographic equivalents such as <ö> and <ø>, and LDH representations of IDN characters such as <ue> or <u> to represent <ü>, or <e> to represent <é>, are treated as separate and distinct from each other when used in .museum names. The registration of one form confers no rights to another form. Prospective name holders are free to define their own equivalents and to aggregate them as desired through multiple registration, subject to approval of each form during the ENS process.
In scripts or languages where this form of equivalence is inapplicable, and where appropriate character variant tables are included in the IANA Repository of IDN TLD Practices or otherwise defined in prevalent top-level domain (TLD) practice, corresponding tables and policies will be applied to the registration of names in .museum according to terms that will be stated in detail upon the introduction of any script or language requiring such treatment.
Special conditions apply where there is clear risk that the display forms of characters with different code points can be confused, for example, in a name including a label consisting exclusively of the Cyrillic small letters IE, ER, and A <ера> and a name similarly containing a sequence of the Latin small letters E, P, and A <epa>. In a case such as this, the registration of a name using the one sequence of code points will normally exclude a separate entity from registering a name differing solely by the use of the other sequence. However, if the holder of either form actively wishes to use both and is otherwise eligible to do so, each will require explicit registration. Further restrictions may be applied to the registration of names that can result in comparable confusion, for example, where the only differentiation is provided by diacritical marks that appear nearly identically.
A displayed sequence of IDN characters that cannot be visually distinguished from a displayed sequence of LDH characters will only be accepted for registration using the LDH code points unless the name has other distinctive language attributes. Factors such as the context of the name's intended use or the language nexus of the name holder may be invoked for consideration during the ENS process. Where there is a need or desire to avoid inappropriate association with a specific script or language, the neutral designation "LDH" may be used as the script or language designator in the registration of a name that is restricted to LDH characters.
Justification will be required for the replacement of a character at one code point with a graphically similar character at another code point, which will then only be permitted if no possibility for confusion with any other name in, or likely to appear in, .museum would result. The diacritical embellishment of a character for decorative visual effect, or the use of graphic symbols, will not be permitted under any circumstances. The replacement of a letter by a digit with the intent to have the latter appear or be read as the former, or where there is unintentional risk of this happening, is also categorically disallowed.
Every request for a .museum name containing IDN characters must include a declaration of the script to which those characters belong. A single label may only include characters from a single script. Exceptions to this may be permitted for languages with established orthographies that require the simultaneous use of multiple scripts (for example, Japanese). Details specific to each such language will be provided in a separate character table.
In such cases, the name containing IDN characters may be declared as having a language association, without separate declaration of each component script. Wherever possible, the character table for a specified language will support the generally accepted character array for that language. This includes characters used for representing names derived both from the native vocabulary and from the established vocabulary of foreign origin. The availability of characters serving as punctuation marks is, however, extremely limited even in situations where they are regarded as essential to a language's adequate representation. Tables are based on generally accepted contemporary orthographic practice but support may be added for historical or variant orthographies if they are demonstrated to be contextually appropriate. Abbreviations, initialisms, acronyms, and other non-lexical character sequences may also be used as IDN labels if otherwise in conformity with the .museum naming conventions.
A language that is alternately written in multiple scripts may be represented using any of them. Special warrant will, however, be required for using different scripts in the same name. Where different scripts are permitted to appear in separate labels, the script of each label must be declared separately. The assessment of requests for names with cross-language components or other linguistic attributes that are not covered by explicit IDN policies will be a component of the ENS dialogue.
Any clarification that may be needed to establish warrant for the use of IDN characters in a .museum name, the manner in which those characters are used, their association with the script or language for which they are declared, or anything else that may be necessary to process an IDN request, is part of the ENS dialogue as it is applied in the consideration of all requests for names in .museum. This dialogue is conducted mindful of the need to minimize the potential for confusion resulting from the appearance of IDN characters in .museum names, and generally stated policy detail is instantiated during its course.
Support for the IDN representation of a script or language in .museum may be introduced at the request of an entity within the museum community eligible to hold names in .museum, or at MuseDoma's initiative in anticipation of such need. Harnessing IDN as a means for increasing the visibility of indigenous or small languages is as clear a goal as is expanding the range of available metropolitan languages. Priority consideration is given to the use of IDN in action calling attention to threatened natural and cultural heritage, and in bolstering languages associated with it.
If the request is for the introduction of a script or language in which user support is not available for the holders of .museum names, the speech community within which the request originates will be expected to identify an agency that is able to facilitate further communication with that community. As a general rule, this will be a museum or professional museums association that regularly conducts business in the requested language and is willing to participate in a distributed network of IDN support facilities.
A requested script or language may otherwise be introduced with limited support pending the articulation of complete policy detail if it can reasonably be expected that full support can be implemented at a future date without need for reversing any of the policies adopted for the script or language's limited introduction. In particular, there must be no possibility of need ever arising for a prescriptive character variants table, or for any other restrictions to be placed on the use of the initially permitted characters.
The holder of a name containing IDN characters permitted on the basis of introductory policies must agree to changing or relinquishing the name if it is rendered unacceptable as fully supported policies for the associated script or language are established.
Support for a script may be withdrawn if need for it no longer appears to exist and a reasonable period has passed subsequent to the expiration of the last registration of any name using it.
It is likely that the holder of a .museum name using IDN characters will also register names in a ccTLD associated with the indicated language. Coincidental variance in the policies and procedures established by the two registries may cause avoidable confusion. In order to minimize the likelihood of this happening, .museum IDN policies are deliberately being coordinated with available and appropriate ccTLD policy. The tracking of native language documentation in explanation of IDN as provided by ccTLD operators furthers the rapid dissemination of information about IDN throughout the museum community.
Whenever the needs of the museum community require policy support that cannot easily be transferred from the ccTLD realm, the development of those policies will be based on museum perceptions of IDN utility.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan may import as much as 180,000 tonnes of palm oil for July and has covered a lot of its requirement of the vegetable oil ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a top industry official said on Wednesday.
Ramadan, when fasts during the day are followed by feasts and dinner gatherings at night, will start in the first week of August, boosting edible oil consumption in the Muslim-dominated country of nearly 180 million people.
"Pakistan has already covered a lot for the Ramadan requirement by buying huge volumes for June and July shipment," Rasheed Jan Mohammad, vice chairman of the Pakistan Edible Oil Refiners' Association, told Reuters.
"It is expected that Pakistan's June volume would be around 150,000 tonnes and for July, it could be between 175,000 and 180,000 tonnes."
Pakistan, the world's fourth-largest buyer of vegetable oils, imports 80 per cent of its palm oil, with Malaysia providing roughly 90 per cent of that and the rest coming from Indonesia.
Jan Mohammad, however, pointed out that Pakistani importers, who stocked up for Ramadan at high rates, had taken a hit as global palm oil prices dipped in the past 10 days.
Malaysian palm oil futures rose 1.5 per cent on Wednesday as traders continued to adjust their positions and eye strong export data after the market fell to an eight-month low earlier this week. It has dropped about five per cent in 10 trading sessions.
Malaysia -- the world's No.2 palm oil producer – shipped 109,885 tonnes of palm oil products between June 1-25 to Pakistan, according to the Malaysian cargo surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance. Jan Mohammad said about 15,000 tonnes was likely to come from Indonesia.
Pakistan charges 15 per cent less duty than the standard rate on Malaysian crude palm oil import under a 2007 tariff agreement. Indonesia had been pushing Pakistan for the same terms, but talks between the two countries on a preferential trade agreement have hit a deadlock.
Pakistan imported 1.79 million tonnes of palm oil products and crude palm oil in the first eleven months of the 2010/11 (July-June) fiscal year, up more than 16 per cent from the same period a year ago, according to official estimates.
Pakistan's annual edible oil consumption is more than three million tonnes.

Anyone else? I really like my screen max cold!
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L10 using XDA Premium HD app
Hi Kolembo
Even I like the screen temperature Max Cold, but when I updated my p6 screen temperature setting was missing. But I like the KITKAT too. Warm temperature is just crap and I decided to get rid of it. So I just rolled back the B510 to B132 then I set the temperature to max cold. After that I again upgraded the os to B510. Though my phone does not have screen temperature setting it is still Max cold. As long as you do not format your phone your will have the temperature Max Cold. 100% working. I downgraded through the same local update process. update files are available, just google it. ENJOY, Downgrade worked for me, hopefully it will work for you as well.

human resistance to being shot
This is the video of the Mexican subway shootout. Its in a different language but does go in depth showing the shootout in a thorough step by step presentation.
Notice the man who takes four shots to his body yet has quite a bit of fight in him up to the fourth shot. Even the other people after being shot did not go down immediately if at all.
To me its a lesson in what to expect in a shootout even though the shooter in this case is the bad guy.
Not sure what type of gun he has but it has to at least be a 38 special.
If the video is too graphic than I will understand if the thread is locked.

From viewing the video it appears to me that the shooter had a short barreled handgun concealing a paper bag. Later in the video he is seen shooting a revolver with at least a 4" barrel while standing in the door of a subway car.
Tactics to learn from this?
The officer (man in uniform) who appeared to be the first victim of the shooting was either unarmed or failed to use his weapon against the armed shooter and seems to have been killed after being shot multiple times.
The civilian (in the white shirt) who left the subway car to try to neutralize the shooter was also unarmed and appears to have been shot multiple times. Even though wounded several times he continued to try to fight the shooter for many seconds.
Lesson #1 have a gun for a gunfight.
Lesson #2 shoot until the threat is neutralized, don't plan on one shot stopping the threat.

That's why I have my girlfriend shoot me in the torso a couple times a month. At first I just died. But after a few more times I was able to walk it off. These days I am like Stalone in one of his earlier movies! .45 hardball to the heart? Just a fleshwound!
...Wait... That isn't how it works at all.

Its possible that the last pistol could have been taken from the dead police officer as it does appear to be a service revolver.
I thought it was odd that the gun he had hid in the bag seemed to have a lot of bullets in it without having to reload it, unless he was pretty well skilled in reloading a revolver from inside a plastic bag.

Originally it was reported that the man in the white shirt was police, actually a federal agent, but this was later recounted and he was identified as a construction worker. I was impressed that as a cop he would go that far out of his way to protect the public when he could wait for backup. Now I am even more impressed. It is a shame he was killed.

The white-shirted construction worker that was killed is a sobering reminder that just because you're the "good guy" doesn't mean you're going to win the fight. He attacked on his own against an armed man, when it appeared most everyone was out of harm's way. He was exceptionally brave, and may have saved some lives, but since he was fighting alone and unarmed, he was doomed from the beginning.

A real essay in perfect off-hand shooting.
Wish I knew how to search for this video, which is about 4-yrs old. It is in L.A., Asian shop-keeper and wife robbed and terrorized by 5 Asian hoodlums, all on surveill. tape. As the hoods exit the shop by jumping over the counter, the owner has retrieved a revolver (I'm assuming) still in a paper-bag atop anther display-stand, and is protecting himself and his hostage-wife. As each perp clears the counter -- gun in hand -- the owner plugs him. 5 bgs with 5 shots, all cleanly dead. No charges filed. Point-shooting?? Instinct-shooting?? HHMmmm, probably just a lot of practice. And pi$$ed-off adrenalin rush.

I commend the construction worker's bravery...
... and I am not sure about the comment about everybody being out of harm's way, because there are others around all through the segment of the video where he fights, and loses. So, he may have felt he needed to defend others in the area.
I don't mean to be critical, but in the interest of tactical analysis:
1) He drops his bag when he decides to charge the gunman, who is already turning toward him. He might have been better off if he'd hurled it at the guy, as a distraction, as he charged.
2) He keeps going for the gunman's gun hand. The gunman simply steps back, almost using the gun hand as bait; the construction worker's focus is solely on the gun. As a result of this, he never actually brings the attack to the gunman, and he never gets the gunman off balance.
3) Ideally, he'd have kept an awareness of the gun, but moved around it to unbalance the gunman; a disarm is much easier against an opponent who is off balance.
4) It's next to impossible to do a disarm from outside arm's length; one needs to get very close. This actually makes it harder for the gunman to bring the weapon to bear.
5) The gunman is the enemy, not the gun; never forget that you can't just deal with the weapon.
6) The construction worker might have employed more effective technique, yet still been shot and killed. One doesn't have to screw up to get hurt in a fight. In fact, one should expect a high likelihood of injury if one engages an armed person. Even when it's the best percentage move, it's never guaranteed.

Sad that their were so many spectators standing by while a lone unarmed man tried to save them. Wondering how it might have come out if two or three other people followed the lead of the white-shirted man and gang tackled the gunman. Maybe more wounded but fewer dead?

Gun control at work...
Just remember that it is illegal for a private citizen to own a gun in Mexico without the Mexican Government's consent. There is only one gun store in all of Mexico.
So, the gunman knew the people would be unarmed, except for the police officer. Naturally, he took out the armed person first and then went to a shooting gallery.
Had some of the civilians been armed, this may have ended differently!

Another tactical issue that the video raises in my mind is choice of shoes. You may notice that the guy in the white shirt went down several times. I can not determine what the cause(s) was/were for his losing his footing. It may have been because a number of things which might include that he was shot, something on the ground tripped him, or slick soled shoes.
I saw a training video of a state trooper who worked in the south west somewhere. He choose to wear cowboy boots on duty like a lot of other troopers. This trooper's dash-cam recorded a shootout that he was involved in. It shows him shooting and running as his feet were slipping and sliding as he quickly seeks cover. He later determined never to wear smooth soled cowboy boots on duty because he believes it almost cost him is life.
So what is the tactical consideration? Choose your foot wear with an eye towards traction and stability to best enable you to move and shoot.

Mechanically, the things that quickly kill or disable are...
-Trauma to a critical juncture of the central nervous system (brain, spine, etc)
-Cessation of blood circulation (either from blood loss, or damage to the heart)
-Critical structural damage (broken bones no longer supporting the body)
beyond that folks have a WIDE range of psychological responses but you can't count on that happening or even what will happen if you miss all of the "big three" above.

The title here is human resistance to being shot. Is that the intended topic? Or is it human resistance to the trauma of being shot?
The discussion seems to be how some of the victims kept on functioning after being shot ... after. Not avoiding or resisting being shot.
Which is it?

Some times the good guy wins
Saw a video of a botched robbery in LA? it is a while ago, so not sure of the location, Mom and Pop store.

Somehow, I completely missed the relevance of Brit's good guy example to this thread.

Funny, I find Brit completely on point
The best resistance to being shot is taking the steps to not be shot in the first place.
The other kind of resistance to being shot is less optimal.

On point?
I am 74 next month you know LOL.
An other point, in not one of these instances were the good guy got shots away, did the BGs stay around, bad guys turned and ex filtrated, every one, bang, turned and ran.
Just think of the shooting range, no ear muffs, wow! now think of the muzzle blast, and that air disturbance, pointed at you!! The smell of cordite had to compete with a strong smell like a public toilet in the woods, like right now!

Maybe in some circumstances it is the case of both adrenaline and basically accepting you will most likely die from the shots you are receiving but you plan to take your enemy down before you lose too much blood or you are hit in a critical spot like the head or a structural bone.
Maybe fight or flight response as contrasted to go into shock response.

Those Koreans can be tough as nails. This reminds me..I have heard some great stories from a very credible source about Korean S.F. guys coming into bars in South Korea and intimidating and directly challenging US Soldiers to a fight right there and then; apparently these cats were all business and very very intense. Also I was in Lost Angeles during the Rodney King riots and I remember the Korean liquor store owners on their roofs with rifles protecting their livelihood with, well, great intensity.

Accuracy with beads?
So, knowing the depth of firearm knowledge we have out there, and knowing that there is nothing new under the sun, I was wondering if anyone out there had ever tried firing slugs just using the bead sights mounted on top of your generic shotgun. I'll probably go try on my own sooner or later, just wondering what other folks may have learned from previous efforts.

I actually did a lot of hunting on Ft. Benning using a plain 1100 with only a bead.
Accuracy is fine on a static range, sucks when actually hunting. The problem iss that your eye is the rear sight. If you don't get the same cheek weld or lift your head (my problem) your ability to place an accurate shot is gone.
For very close targets - HD - the bead is OK. The question of slugs for HD is always open to debate.

I got a police trade in barrel recently for my 870 (18" cyl bore) and just a bead on it and found that I can hit a C-More target (about 6 or 8" round) with slugs consistently out to about 60 yards, offhand, static, no pressure. Just keep practicing!

With an 18" barrel 870 police I can keep slugs in a 2-4" group with the bead at 25 yds. Usually concentrating on cycling the gun and reaquiring target as fast as possible, not extreme accuracy. Cheekweld problem sovled by butt-bag/cheekrest on gun, really helps. Fiocchi Aeroslugs, I think I like them better than Brennekes out of a smoothbore, never had a rifled shotgun because,well then it'd be a rifle!

Beads are accurate enough, though not as much as rifle sights or ghost rings, if you do your part. If you don't, well, don't blame it on the bead too much, as seems common.

I've been to a couple of shotgun classes where some students show up with bead-sighted weapons. Once they know where to hold, they can keep it on a torso target all day with slugs.
Not my first choice, but who can guarantee I'll be fighting with my first choice? No one promised me a rose garden either.

I killed my first deer around age 10 , with a 20 Ga single barrel Stevens, and a slug. Bead sight. Shot her at about 25 yards. One slug, one doe. Even then, I tried to get as close as possible.
That is my point, by the way. With a bead sight, you need to know, from practice and experience, what your limitations are, and then stay within them. The hunter should tailer his hunt technique to his skill level, and the known limitations of his weapon and ammunition.

I've actually done a FAIR amount of slug-shooting with smoothbore barrels and bead sights...my take is that as long as the shooter establishes a CONSISTENT "Cheek Weld" for each and every shot, beads work fine...TWO beads, like on most Trap and Skeet guns, work better...when I was testing my old 1100 and Sportsman 58 prior to a "Shotgun Tactical Match" several years ago, I found I could easily keep ALL my shots in the 25-yd. rapid-fire pistol bull, AT 25-yds...about a five-and-half inch target...that was standing, unsupported and only "Casual" aiming, so....mikey357

Never tried a SG with the two beads set-up. As long as you have something to line up, the accuracy's there.
My 1100 would eat gallon milk jugs at 75 yards all day long. My ability to use that accuracy made me limit my shots to maybe half that distance.
I purchased an inexpensive set of bolt on iron sights and never looked back.
The key is having two points to align. When your just using a bead, any shift of your head throws the shot.

2 beads
See, mine has two beads along the top, so I think I should be ableto get that 60-70 yard accuracy. I really have no intention of using it for hunting, and am thinking much more of a pro-active home defence situation.
Gizmo99, where did you get these bolt on iron sights? I've never heard of them before.

Most folks with decent form, reasonable fit, and some experience can keep slugs from a bead sighted repeating shotgun in a 5 or 6" group at 50 yards using hunting positions. Certainly adequate for deer within that range.
Priv8ter, Williams made and may still still make a set that clamp onto the rib. Brownell's should carry them, and maybe Cabella's.

Two years ago I was using a Stevens 820 and a doe appeared. 30 yards with the bead and brenneke slugs. Shot it right in the vitals ran about 13 yards.

text: So the dreaded whats it worth thread!! Still in two minds what to do, kind of had enough of the Audi, not entirely sure why as I dont think there will be another car out there (at that price range) that can match it for performance, practicality, reliability (and Milltek noise!!). I've owned it about 8 months now which is the longest i've ever owned a car for in the 14 years ive been driving!! Anyway im aware that B6 S4s can range from anything from 8k to 14k so not really sure where mine sits...... Car is a late 53 plate but with a private S4 plate which will stay on the car 81000 miles Full service history, 99% sure its all Audi except the last which was done at TTS Roadsport (where I bought the car from). Have all the old MOT's, tyre reports and other bills / invoices that the car has collected over the years. Dogknob Red but vinyl wrapped matt black as most will know. Bodywork though is minty mint underneath and all original so not covering any dodgy paintwork, rust etc!! Photos have been taken during the wrap to show work in progress..... Has full Black heated Recaro (nappa), seats are also electric with electric lumbar support RNSE stereo with the twin SD card slots. Got the Europe CD but not the UK Bose system (best sounding standard hi-fi IMO Xenon headlights, auto height adjustment etc etc Courtesy lights pack and the take me home pack 9.5x19 alloys with 235/35/19 Falken 452s (not even a month old and I paid £1000 for them! H&R suspension (under a month old) RS4 Anti Roll Bar New front wishbone arms (noticed a knocking noise and wasnt sure which one it was so replaced them all for piece of mind! BMC Panel filters Milltek non-resonated exhaust (awesome sounding!), also have resonated centre section I will chuck in Im about to fit new brake discs and pads on all round (not cheap!) Original unused spare 18 Avus alloy and tyre Carbon detailing (blades, rear lower valance etc etc.... Dog matt and nets Rear blinds Audi cargo net in boot I'm sure i've missed loads of factory options so may add to this!! Car itself is mint, been a joy to own, still in two minds about the matt black wrap but its easily removable back to the red (as per when I took the white wrap off!!) Leather is in mint unworn condition with no rips, tears or signs of age. Its always been snow foamed when washed (when it isnt wrapped) and always kept polished clean! Overall its a fully sorted beautiful condition S4 with no faults, a real head turner and most usual mods already done on it!!! Obviously aware that the mods wont put too much value on it as they are purely selling points in my eyes, but what do you think its worth? Thanks Chris

Long before kids had actor Will Ferrell stuffed into yellow elf tights and pointed booties to laugh at, my brother, sister and I amused ourselves for hours on end dancing around the Christmas tree lip-synching to a cassette of kooky Christmas classics.

The Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular
Preview performance 7:30 p.m. Sunday, November 30, $12; regular run December 1-28, Mainstage Theater, Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Boulevard. For showtimes and tickets, call 720-898-7200 or log on to arvadacenter.org
"It's just such a fun song," agrees Joan Staples, director of The Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular, which opens this week at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. "It makes me laugh so hard I cry."
Featuring "Grandma Got Run Over" and more than forty other well-known ditties, including "Rock Around the Christmas Tree," "Coat of Many Colors," "Burning Love," "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Auld Lang Syne," The Holiday Spectacular is a country Christmas extravaganza that's a good tonic for even the crankiest Scrooge.
"It's a really lighthearted show," says Staples. "Everyone has seen A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker a dozen times. This is something new, like a breath of fresh air."
The Holiday Spectacular is the story of four girlfriends who call themselves angels and get together to put on a little holiday show at their local bar, the Hillbilly Heaven Club.
"For these gals, this night is their big time to shine," explains Staples. "I think the thing that makes this show work is that the characters really let you peek inside their personalities, and what you see is very touching."
Created by Ted Swindley, who also gave us Always...Patsy Cline, The Holiday Spectacular is a followup to The Honky Tonk Angels, which played at the Arvada Center earlier this month. The all-female comedic cast features returning angels Beth Flynn, Marya Grandy and Leslie Goddard, along with newcomer Andi Hopkins as a gospel-singing, Motown-bred manicurist who joins the ladies at the last minute to help out.

"The first show was a huge success for us; it had a buzz about it from the day it opened," says Arvada Center spokeswoman Valerie Hamlin. "Partly because Beth Flynn is a very popular actress around town, but also because it is very much a toe-tapping, hand-clapping, stand-up-and-dance kind of show."
And since everyone can use a little extra dough during the gift-giving season, this Sunday's preview performance will only set you back $12.
"There are touches of country throughout the show, but we've also got an Elvis medley, a Motown medley and some ballads that are really touching. It's a cool mixture," says Staples, who also directed the first Honky Tonk Angels and the Arvada Center production of The Dinner Party and The Children's Hour. "Sometimes we all need a night out to just sit back, relax and watch some gals put on a show."

I have some indentations on my buttocks (cellulite but I don't like to say so :) Anyway, I'm wondering if collagen injections for the buttocks would be an effective way to hide cellulite. Do any doctors even do this?
Collagen Injections for Buttocks?
Doctor Answers 3
Injections for cellulite of the buttocks
Collagen injections are rarely if ever done any more. For localized indents, hyaluronic acids such as Juverderm or Restylane might give you a good result, or even fat injections if the indents are not too small. These would not be permanent solutions but temporary fixes. Sometimes the filler moves out to the sides and lifts the normal skin but the indent doesn't change. It can look more obvious if the surrounding skin lifts from the spread. Try one as a test and if it looks good after a few weeks (retaining its good effect) then consider doing the others.
Collagen for the buttock dimples?
Cellulite has no known correction though many things have been tried. At their best, those treatments that seemed promising maybe just caused swelling in the tissues that disguised the dimpling.
Collagen is a short lived, allergy prone filler than has slipped onto the back burner of injectable filler options. Even so, no filler could fix the problem you describe even if you were willing to spend thousands each year having it done and re-done as the material dissolves.

Collagen not the best for dimpled buttocks
If your question is strictly about the use of Collagen (Cow / Human) to correct cellulite dimples -- I would say probably no. A 1cc syringe of Collagen costs a few hundred dollars and, depending on the amount of filler needed, this can become very expensive. In addition, collagen is not the best filler for this use.
Other fillers, especially your own fat, may be used. The extreme example of this is the Brazilian Butt Lift in which the buttocks are augmented and contoured with fat transfers.

Nonito Donaire has the quickest feet in boxing. He also has some of the quickest hands in boxing. He has superb balance, he can punch from every angle, and he shows occasional flashes of Roy Jones-esque transcendence of style, dancing in and out of a realm that only the most talented boxers in the world can ever hope to experience. But he's not a complete fighter. And though he easily earned a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Argentinian Omar Narvaez (35-1) tonight-- winning every round--his performance will surely go down as a disappointment.
After he dented Fernando Montiel's head like a cantaloupe with one of the sweetest left hooks thrown in a professional boxing ring in years in his last fight, expectations for Donaire (27-1) were high. But within reason. Donaire, skill-wise, is probably the third best pound for pound fighter in the world. If Floyd Mayweather is a staunch, unsolvable defensive riddle and Manny Pacquiao is a tireless offensive perpetual motion machine, Nonito Donaire is a ballet dancer, beautiful to behold, who also happens to have a sweeping hook that can wipe anyone in his weight class off the map.
What he doesn't have is even a rudimentary body punching attack. And that is why he did not manage to knock down the shorter, overmatched Narvaez in a twelve round fight. Narvaez-- understandably-- fought cautiously. He locked his high defensive guard in place and satisfied himself with throwing one or two counterpunches when Donaire missed, then slapping his gloves back onto his head. Donaire, though, never mounted the sustained body attack on Narvaez that would have forced him to lower his gloves and opened his head for a left hook. Donaire is a headhunter. Tonight, it cost him a great opportunity to expand his fan base. His entire body punching arsenal consists of a straight right hand to the gut-- which he landed repeatedly, but followed up with nothing. Narvaez's He-Man abs were reddened, but not punished nearly enough to get him to consider dropping that high guard.
Donaire therefore spent the fight bouncing punches (from all angles, admittedly) off of Narvaez's gloves. In the post-fight interview Donaire complained that his opponent did not come to fight; but why would he? He lasted 12 rounds with one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing, stayed fully conscious, and even managed to touch Donaire's face with just enough jabs to keep his pride intact. On the rare occasions when Narvaez stepped in to trade punches, all it took was a single whipping left hook from Donaire whistling past his eyebrows to convince him to put his defensive helmet back on. Hard to fault a man for not acquiescing to get knocked out.
Even the best pound for pound fighters have off nights. It wasn't too long ago that fellow Filipino Manny Pacquiao spent a dozen rounds whaling uselessly on Joshua Clottey's iron guard in a boring fight that bore a certain resemblance to this one. The difference is that Omar Narvaez's defense was not impregnable; his arms were high, and his body was open. Donaire landed a measly 15% of his punches, because he refused to stop punching directly into Narvaez's gloves. That's a fairly major flaw for a man aspiring to be the world's best fighter. In the twelfth round tonight, a loud, sustained chant of "this is bullshit" echoed throughout the Theater at Madison Square Garden for a solid half minute. That's not the soundtrack of a champion.
Donaire says he will move up to 122 pounds for his next fight. From there he can easily jump up to the talent-laden featherweight division, and create his legacy against truly worthy opposition. Two or three years from now, Nonito Donaire could very well be the best pound for pound fighter in boxing. But first, he'll have to learn body punching.
On the undercard, featherweight super-prospect Mikey Garcia (27-0), brother of trainers Robert and Daniel Garcia, knocked down an overmatched Juan Carlos Martinez (19-13) three times before the ref stopped the fight in the fourth round. Garcia is an extremely patient fighter, waiting a full round and a half to catch onto Martinez's timing before cranking up a barrage of one-twos and powerful left hooks that took their toll. Garcia has knockout power in both hands, but he fights flat-footed and is noticeably not shifty by featherweight standards. Whether he can actually give the division's more polished fighters like Yuriorkis Gamboa problems remains to be seen.

Watermark Your Photos
Geek Tip: Easily Watermark Your Images with PicMarkr
Do you know what a watermark is? I'm sure you have seen them on a few geeksugar posts, but do you know what are they used for? A watermark is used to tell people who the photos belong to, and especially helpful if you don't want anyone else using them without your permission. But it's not only blogs or businesses that use watermarks, you can use them too — even in photos you've uploaded to Flickr — to protect your copyrights.
Which is why using PicMarkr is so easy — just upload the photo you want to watermark (from Flickr, from your TeamSugar account, or from your computer), select what type of watermark you want (either text that you type in, or by uploading a logo), and you're done! You can even send your newly watermarked photo from PicMarkr right into Flickr, making it super simple to brand your best work.

Why Buy? The Rise of Auto Leases
Are Americans falling in love with leasing?
It's trending that way. After record-low statistics in 2009, the latest report from Experian Automotive found that leases made up 28.4% of all new-vehicle financing in Q4 2013—up 3.6% from the previous year—marking an all-time high since the company started releasing auto financing data eight years ago.
One explanation? On its face, leasing is cheaper than buying. According to Melinda Zabritski, Experian's senior director of automotive credit, the average monthly payment for a new-car lease was $420—more than $50 less than the average new car loan payment. That's significant savings, especially for those adhering to tight household budgets.
The increasing popularity of auto leases may also be due to less-stringent credit standards: The average credit score for an auto lessee dropped from 735 in 2012 to 719 in 2013, allowing more car shoppers additional flexibility when choosing the most favorable terms and rates—not to mention the option to drive a brand new car every few years.
RELATED: The Car Ownership Price Creep
Think you can't afford not to lease? Before making a decision to buy or rent your next car, make sure to consider the big picture. Despite a cheaper monthly payment, a number of factors—exceeding your mileage limit, paying higher insurance premiums or coughing up wear-and-tear fees if you're hard on your car, for instance—may result in spending more on your lease than if you'd purchased the car.
And here's another major consideration: You wouldn't have equity in the vehicle at the end of your lease—which is money you would have been able to funnel into a new down payment for your next vehicle.

Washington, March 31 (ANI): Justin Bieber's pet monkey has been confiscated by German officials because the Canadian singer didn't have any proper paperwork.
The 19-year-old singer, who arrived at the Munich airport on Thursday, was confronted about the monkey when he went through customs, TMZ.com reported.
The monkey was taken into quarantine after the 'Baby' singer failed to present proper documentation for the animal. (ANI)

Fear the blank page.
When you sit down to create something new, there should always be the fear of sitting in front of a blank piece of paper.
It will find you out.
It will make you.
There is no place to hide.
There is just you and your ideas.
In front of that piece of paper, all excuses have to stop.
The fear of the blank page is a healthy one.
'Was the last thing I did the best thing I will ever do'?
'Have I burned my brightest'?
Fear drives away complacency.
Fear quietens the ego.
Fear makes you push harder.
If you sit down and there is no fear, be fearful.

A bison burger topped with grilled wild mushrooms, wild blackberry marmalade, and edible flowers served on a buttermilk biscuit.
My hobbies include gardening and artwork. I like to entertain my friends and family. As we get together I like to create new recipes when we cook out.
Fast and easy to prepare, this combination of flavors will leave your mouth wanting a second burger!
Greetings! This is a special recipe that I have made for my family and friends. Believe me, they are picky eaters and I think you'll find that this is a delicious recipe.
Jerk is a popular hot-pepper base of flavor in the Caribbean Islands and now it has found it's way onto the Americans menu's. Jerk burgers seem like a different feast we should also enjoy!
Trips to the New England area have influenced me to create a burger that includeds ingredients that capture special flavors of the area.
This burger is made from an international blend of spices and ingredients (Italian, Indian, and Mexican) that is sure to make your mouth water!
Introduction: Sauerkraut was one of my favorite foods when I was young and each summer I would usually make about 15 gallons which lasted most of the year.
It is no secret that France is considered the culinary capital of the world.
I like to do gardening, artwork, and cookout for family & friends. I like to create new recipies and experiment with my cookouts. I'm sending one of my recipies for your contest.
My Mom has been dating an Australian man for the past 13 years and every time they come to visit in the US (his job has them living in Sweden for years at a time), they both crave a good old fashio
This recipe celebrates the richness of the Pacific Northwest, from our thriving coffee culture to our commitment to great tasting, locally grown natural produce and meats.
An Italian spin is given to this delicous burger.
In Dallas, there are many versions of a "Cowboy Burger".
Italy provides some of the most wonderful tastes on the planet. This burger incorporates of few of my favorites. It is wonderfully rich and deserves a beautiful Sutter Home Cabernet or Merlot.
This burger is a bit country. We live on a ranch where we raise beef cattle and Boer Goats(chevon). I thought it was best to share with you my idea of the best of both worlds.

What events stand out in your mind?
We probably don't give much thought to this, but what world events (not personal events) stand out in your mind during your life. A good test is probably if you can remember what you were doing when "x" happened and you first heard about it. Just your top five at most...
1. when the twin towers got hit
2. the morning the Challenger exploded after launch
3. the day President Reagan was shot
4. the night the Berlin wall came down
You named the 4 that I was going to name.
Here are my alternates:
1. First joint
2. First car
3. First **** job
4. First time I jumped out of a plane
Here's a couple:
1) When the Twin Towers were hit, I was in Korea and it was the NIGHT of the 11th - bedtime for us overthere, except we never went to bed.
2) When Mt. St. Helens Blew Her Top- I was riding my bike in the front of the house and heard it. Literally.
3) January 25th, 2002 - I damn near died that day, took 12,500 volts of primary voltage in a freak accident and spent two plus days in ICU, by myself, with a few of my guys visiting, but basically alone. That would be JD +1 and Gravelings -1 to date..... F**kers!
Mt St Helens Eruption. Sat on the roof of my house and watched the ash rain down.
Twin towers. Best day of working at a call center. Ever. No calls.
Desert Storm. I was glued to CNN.
Berlin Wall comes down. I worked at a newspaper at the time.
very, VERY soon...
As for me:
1) Columbine
2) Columbia Disaster
3) 9/11
All of the above +
11/22/63 Dallas te.the Kennedy assassination !
7/21/69 Neil Armstrong ,first man to walk on the moon !
5/4/70 4 killed , 9 wounded Kent State University, who the hell
gave these guys live ammo ??:(
Dammit, I've been setup again.
1. Berlin wall I remember that.
2. Y2K (I was hoping and praying for it to fix my credit back then) This was a somber time as I was visiting my cousin who was dying from emphyzema and years of being an alcoholic. Which a lot of that stemed from he two tours in Viet Nam.
3. World Series Earthquake (October 17, 1989 at 5:04 P.M.) I was in the garage when everything started swinging and falling off the walls.
4. Challanger happend at 8:39 in the morning. I was getting ready for school. We watched some of it on the TV in school.
5. 9-11 I was at work and had just gave a Rabies shot to a dog when we got the call to shut down and send people home. It was very quiet that day and I hate to say it but I went fishing. They shut down the base and said to go home and wait. All people who didn't need to be on duty were sent home.
Man, when you get old there are sooooooo many of them.
I easily remember:
Carl Chessman's execution.
JFK's election.
Ike's farewell speech (Military-Industrial Complex Warning)
(Originally, in this speech, it was the Military-Industrial-Congressional Triangle)
Marilyn Monroe's "suicide".
And then all the rest.................

Two ferns belonging to the plant family Ophioglossaceae can be found along some of the Arboretum trails at this time of year. This group of ferns is considered to have primitive characteristics and is not closely allied to other living ferns. Plants in this family have two-parted leaves, a basal sterile portion that can be simple or compound and an upper fertile portion bearing sporangia.
The Southern Adder's Tongue Fern is an unusual fern with a simple, ovate leaf subtending an erect, fertile stalk which bears the sporangia. This fern is widely distributed in the U.S. (many eastern states, Texas and Oklahoma), but is also found in Mexico and Europe. It is often difficult to find and frequently occurs in disturbed areas such as the edges of fields and forested roadsides.
The leaves of Rattlesnake Fern consist of a basal three-parted compound leaf subtending a fertile spike bearing sporangia. The fertile portion resembles the rattles of a rattlesnake. This fern is found throughout the U.S. and Canada. where it typically occurs in rich, moist forests.
Return to Ferns and Allies Table
One of the first deciduous trees to bloom in the spring is Red Maple. As you are driving toward the Arboretum or walking along one of the trails, you can see its reddish blooms beginning to appear in the upper forest canopy. Red maple has male and female flowers that occur on separate branches of the same tree, or a tree may have only male or only female flowers. The reddish bloom comes primarily from the female flowers and the fruits as they mature. The male flowers tend to have a yellowish color. The fruits - called samaras - are similar to those of other maples in having two wings. As spring progresses, you are likely to see abundant flower parts and later numerous samaras on the ground as you walk the Arboretum trails. In the fall, the leaves contribute a brilliant red to the forest canopy.
Return to Tree Table
One of the most beautiful and conspicuous trees at the Arboretum in April is the Redbud. This tree is most commonly seen at forest edges, in disturbed areas, or in managed landscapes. Redbud is a member of the bean family (Fabaceae), and in a natural setting is an early invader of disturbed areas where it grows quickly but is generally short lived (20-25 years). Distinguishing characteristics of Redbud include its rose-pink, pea-like flowers, its heart-shaped leaves, and its flat, brown, bean-like pods.
At the Arboretum you will see Redbud along several trails and bordering some open areas. A research planting near the Program Shelter is in full bloom. The larger trees in this area are survivors of a failed research study originally planted in 1995. A new planting of redbuds was made in 2007 next to these older trees; the young trees are just becoming established. The objective of the current study is to evaluate Chinese Redbuds and ones from a northern location in the United States for potential introduction in Eastern Tennessee.
Among the interesting ferns found at the Arboretum is the Resurrection Fern which can be observed on several Eastern Red Cedar trunks along the Cemetery Ridge Trail. It also occurs on rocky ledges off the trails. The fern is an epiphyte (or air plant) - a plant that uses another plant as a substrate but does not depend on that plant for food, nutrients, and water as does a parasitic plant.
During dry periods, the fern's fronds appear shriveled. The common name is based on the fern's ability to expand quickly (i.e., resurrect) in response to a rainy period, such as the rain we had at the end of August. The fern obtains its water and nutrients directly from rainwater and the wet bark or other substrate on which it grows. Resurrection Fern is widely distributed in Tennessee and the Southeastern U.S.
Roundlobe Hepatica is one of our earliest blooming wildflowers along Arboretum trails. Look for it in early March along the lower portions of the Cemetery Ridge Trail and somewhat later along the Oak-Hickory Trail. The flower emerges from the decomposing forest leaf litter as a bright spot of blue or white. The showy sepals (it has no petals) are subtended by green bracts. Its leaves are intermingled with the brown leaf litter and are often difficult to see. The leaf color varies from faded green to purple - the ones present now developed during the previous season and have allowed the plants to photosynthesize during the winter months. New leaves are formed after blooming.
Two species of Hepatica are found in our area. The 3 lobes of Roundlobe Hepatica are relatively shallow and rounded at the tips, while leaves of Sharplobed Hepatica (Hepatica acutiloba) are more deeply lobed and have acutely pointed tips. The genus name Hepatica is based on the resemblance of the leaf to the liver. Hepatica has been used for a variety of medicinal purposes - in the late 1800s, more than 400,000 pounds of dried leaves were used in one year to make a tonic for liver ailments.
Return to Wildflowers Table
Numerous small white flowers are conspicuous along the Oak-Hickory Trail in late March and early April. Rue Anemone, or Wind Flower, belongs to the buttercup family. The basal leaves are divided into nine leaflets, each of which has three rounded lobes. The flowers are white to pinkish with several flowers being borne in an umbel - i.e., a long flower stalk with several branches originating from a common point. These plants can also be seen at a low point along the Cemetery Ridge Trail, in the same general location as the Roundlobe Hepatica seen in late March.
Other wildflowers that appear to be a bit later include Mayapple (palmate leaves have emerged), Fly Poison (dark green clusters of basal leaves are particularly conspicuous along the Oak-Hickory Trail), and Violets. Red Maples start blooming in early March, and the red flowers parts shed along the trails. The Magnolia Orchard is near its peak bloom at this time in spring and the ground is covered with purple, red, pink, and white tepals (showy petals and sepals that are undifferentiated).

Factors in choosing the right water treatment system
Choosing the right drinking water treatment product is not easy. There are many factors to consider prior to installation. Water characteristics, family members, price and certification by a reputable organization all are important. Share these factors with your clients to help them choose the right treatment system for their homes.
Water Quality
The first step is to determine which contaminants are present in the water. In the U.S., this is relatively easy to accomplish, as each municipality sends out an annual drinking water report that typically is available online. This report provides details on which contaminants are present in the local water supply.
In general, these documents show the contaminant levels the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established as safe for humans to consume on a daily basis, as well as the concentrations of those contaminants found in local water.
Household Makeup
The next factor in determining the type of treatment a home's water needs is the age of its occupants. This is important because some contaminants are considered acute health contaminants, meaning that exposure can cause immediate health issues.
For example, nitrates may cause blue baby syndrome in some infants. Adults, however, are able to consume fairly large amounts of nitrates without concern, as they are found in many foods that are part of normal, healthy diets. If a household with an infant uses tap water to mix formula and the tap water contains nitrates above allowable levels, a water treatment device made specifically for nitrate reduction should be used.
After the types of contaminants in the water and the household makeup are determined, a product can be chosen to best fit the family.
POU v. POE
Point-of-use (POU) products treat water only at specific points in the home. For example, a drinking water treatment device that is plumbed in under the kitchen sink will treat only the water at that faucet. Point-of-entry (POE) products treat all of the water that flows through a home.
Each has pros and cons. One advantage of POU products is that they can be specialized and that there are multiple options for these systems. Some POU products allow for water to be either treated or untreated through the use of diverters or faucets. POU products also provide a greater range of treatment technologies.
POU products, however, typically require more maintenance and ongoing costs. Most have cartridges or elements that require replacement after a certain amount of water has passed through them or a certain amount of time
has elapsed.
POE products require less maintenance, but are more limited in the types of reduction claims they offer. Because POE products treat all water that flows through a home, consider whether all household water needs to be treated. This includes the water used to sprinkle the lawn. One option with POE is to install a bypass valve, which allows homeowners to bypass the POE system for activities such as filling the pool.
POE systems are typically good for many years without replacement media or filters. Initial upfront costs of POE systems are usually higher than those of POU products, but POE units allow elimination of contaminants with a single product for the entire home.
Certification Status
There are thousands of drinking water treatment companies advertising and selling treatment systems, so choosing which product to install can be daunting. The easiest way to set some of the products above the rest is to look for a certification mark that indicates accreditation by a third-party certification body.
Currently there are five main accredited organizations in the U.S. that offer certification for drinking water treatment products: the Water Quality Assn., NSF Intl., UL, the International Assn. of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, and Truesdale. Products that bear a mark from one of these certifiers have multiple levels of quality assurance.
Certified products have been subjected to testing to verify that the claims made by the manufacturer are accurate and meet industry standards. If a company is claiming that the product is certified for chlorine reduction, for example, the product will undergo a chlorine reduction test. Testing and evaluation of these products also verify that no materials in them will impart harmful contaminants into the drinking water through daily contact.
Additionally, certified products undergo structural integrity and performance claim testing. Structural testing verifies that the product will maintain its integrity when subjected to normal line pressure. Literature associated with certified products undergoes review to ensure that the statements the company makes about the product do not misrepresent the certification.
Beyond testing and literature requirements, each manufacturing facility that produces certified products undergoes onsite inspections at least once a year. Onsite inspections review manufacturing processes, procurement control, consistency and more. Verification of the mark and certification can be found on each certification body's official listing of certified products.

"Marquez did the fastest lap in his first race, like I did. But I crashed, so he is better than me!" - Valentino Rossi.

- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
It didn't quite match Welkom 2004, but Valentino Rossi labelled his comeback Yamaha MotoGP race 'close to perfect' - and again praised the performance of rookie Marc Marquez.
After two poor years at Ducati, when he was only able to attack during wet races, Rossi made an action-packed M1 return in the Qatar night race.
The Italian superstar moved swiftly from seventh to fourth on the opening lap, but dropped back to seventh after a mistake.
Rossi then rode through the field to reach second place, behind team-mate and reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo.
"The maximum is victory, but this second is close to perfect," said Rossi.
Asked to compare his emotions with winning on his Yamaha debut at Welkom in 2004, Rossi replied:
"Victory is always better. Always. So Welkom was more special. But now my rivals are unbelievable. The level is very high. So to come back on the podium and second place is a great emotion."
Rossi spent the closing stages of the Losail race locked in a thrilling duel with Moto2 champion Marquez, who was making his first MotoGP appearance and set the fastest lap of the race.
Marquez's raw speed and fighting style has prompted comparisons with Rossi during his debut 2000 season. The seven time MotoGP champion spotted one difference between them.
"Marc did the fastest lap in his first race, like I did. But I crashed, so he is better than me!" Rossi smiled.
Acknowledging that the 20-year-old will only get better, Rossi added: "I have to beat Marc as much as possible in the first half of the season, because maybe in the second half it will be more difficult!"
Also difficult could be the second round of the championship at Austin, Texas next weekend. A circuit where the Honda riders - and especially Marquez - dominated a private winter test.
"I didn't expect this advantage over Honda here in Qatar. For the next race it will be harder," said Rossi. "I hope we will be more competitive than in the test, because we have a better setting now, but it looks like our opponents are very strong.
"My target will be another podium and to keep points, because after that we go back to Europe and some very good race tracks for me and Yamaha. The older tracks where I grew up and learned to ride, are usually better for me."

These are definitely best warm–because that's when you get that crunchy outer shell and warm chocolate center of the M&M's that just melts in your mouth with each bite.
These are definitely best warm–because that's when you get that crunchy outer shell and warm chocolate center of the M&M's that just melts in your mouth with each bite.
These sound so fabulous! Yum!
Love love love!! So glad you made these. They are one of my favorite cookies and I am planning to make them this weekend for a bake sale! You just got me even more excited. And yes, the dough is the bees knees. 🙂
I would be eating the dough by the spoonful! I love oatmeal cookies, especially those that have M&M's in them!
Yvette Wesley says
Wow! M&M is the highlight. I would love to try this. It's colorful and that what makes it more interesting. This will surely be the highlight later this evening for the dinner's dessert.
Julie says
These cookies are very good, I made a batch yesterday however I hard the hardest time getting the dough to keep shape with the cookie scoop or by hand even after chilling for one hour. Any idea what I may have done wrong? I did not use a mixer of any kind, just my spoon.
Julie–I'm sorry! Sounds like the dough was too dry and crumbly! Did the cookies taste dry?
Julie says
the cookies were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. maybe I need new flour? maybe a splash of milk? maybe next time I'll use the hand mixer. They were good but just wouldn't keep together for me to form a decent shape.

I don't normally like oatmeal cookies, but I could probably eat these. I love M&M cookies!
Anonymous says
These were a hit with my oatmeal-phobic kids! Thanks for sharing. Next time, I'll double the recipe!

Posted in Press Releases on 09 July 2014
Pulled Apart By Horses have announced details of the next release to be taken from their hotly anticipated third album 'Blood'. 'Lizard Baby', which received it's premiere on Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record last night, is out on 1st September on the band's own label Best of the Best through Sony Red.
Partly inspired by the birth of the royal baby last summer, you can make your own interpretation as to what that means!
"I guess it vaguely touches on the media & public attention given to people in the lime light and how people can adopt alter egos or change with power" explains Pulled Apart By Horses front man Tom Hudson. "There's also a bit of a dig at bands and performers who put on a false show or a contrived act."
A three minute hypnotic rock sleaze fest, 'Lizard Baby' is the follow up to 'Hot Squash' which received amazing responses, spent four weeks on the Radio 1 playlist and caused the NME to proclaim "Pulled Apart By Horses are now a serious rock band". Of the new track, Q said "this time around they've slowed down their schtick to a stoner-rock chug on this snarling gem." These two teasers from their new album 'Blood' demonstrate the new musical and lyrical maturity the band have achieved since their last release.
Pulled Apart By Horses have also just confirmed some new regional UK dates in addition to their European dates for Dr Martins and main stage Reading & Leeds Festival slots.
Full live dates are now:
18th Coventry Kasbah
19th Nottingham Bodega
20th Liverpool East Village Arts Club
