My 6-9-12Inch Tiered Cakes Look Too Wide?
Decorating By missconfectionality Updated 12 Dec 2013 , 3:50pm by leah_s
This may sound weird but so far, all the 6-9-12inch tiered cakes I have made look too wide to me. I really like the look of tall, slightly narrower looking cakes but find it hard to fit into the serving amount the client asks for. I want to suggest a 8-10-12inch cake to future clients who want 3 tier cakes but then the cake looks unfinished to me without the 6 inch top tier! And 6-8-10inch cakes are far too small for the wedding clients I have gotten so far. Does anyone know a way around this or what sizes you usually recommend for 3 tier cakes? Would you recommend having 3 layers of cake within each tier instead of 2 to achieve that? I know it sounds like a useless question to ask but I really want all my cakes to look tall and elegant, not wide :(
I really like the 3" difference. I did a lot of 6/9/12s and even 6/9/12/15s the latter serves 185 which is a good wedding size.

EAST COUNTY: A U.S. Border Patrol agent was fatally shot in the Campo area last night, authorities said.
Four fire engines, an ambulance and a medical helicopter were dispatched to the area, but the agent was pronounced dead at the scene, Cal Fire Battalion Chief Nick Schuler said.
San Diego police said the agent was shot in the head.
The shooting was reported about 9:15 p.m. near the border on Shockey Truck Trail in an area southeast of the San Diego Sheriff's Department's Campo substation, authorities said.
The Sheriff's Department was also responding to the scene at press time. —M.R.
Man found near river killed self, officials say
SAN DIEGO: A man whose body was found near the San Diego River in Mission Bay Park committed suicide, the Medical Examiner's Office said yesterday.
Two men looking for a spot to fish found the body about 8:30 p.m. Monday on the north bank of the river near Friars Road and Sea World Drive.
The 56-year-old man died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Textbooks cause floor to give way in storage unit
SAN DIEGO: Hundreds of textbooks stacked to the ceiling in a third-story storage unit caused the floor to collapse yesterday, sending the books to the ground floor, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said.
The plywood floor of the 10-foot by 10-foot space gave way just before 11 a.m. and also ruptured a sprinkler line. The water was contained to the collapsed area inside the facility near the intersection of 16th and Market streets downtown, Luque said.
No one was injured, and a damage estimate was not available.
Search dogs sniffed the debris for victims, Luque said. The books were to be donated to schools in Liberia.
S.D. gang-unit detectives investigating shooting
SAN DIEGO: Police gang-unit detectives were investigating a shooting yesterday afternoon in the Mountain View neighborhood.
A man driving a gray Silverado pickup pulled up by a man in an alley off West Street near T Street about 12:45 p.m. The assailant, who was wearing a ski mask, got out of the truck and made threats to the victim, who tried to run away, police said.
The assailant fired several times. The victim was struck in the neck, back and leg. Police said the man was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
The gunman got back in the truck, which had a toolbox, and drove away.
Woman shot man, then herself, authorities say
SAN DIEGO: The Medical Examiner's Office has determined that a woman fatally shot a man and then killed herself Monday in a case police are investigating as a murder-suicide in Paradise Hills.
Bernadette Bobsay Abellera Agustin, 52, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, the Medical Examiner's Office said yesterday. The victim, identified by police as Eustacio Torres, 41, died of a gunshot wound to the torso.
Their bodies were found about 12:20 a.m. Monday at a home on Reo Drive, near Potomac Street, by Torres' nephew, police said.
According to Torres' obituary, he was the owner of Sharp Construction, a development and remodeling firm in San Diego.
Bank robberies in Vista, Lemon Grove investigated
Sheriff's deputies were called to bank robberies in Lemon Grove and Vista on Wednesday.
The first robbery was reported about 3:15 p.m. at a Wells Fargo bank inside an Albertsons supermarket on Broadway near Massachusetts Avenue in Lemon Grove, Lt. Gary Steadman said. The robber, who did not display a weapon, walked in and demanded cash.
He was described as white, about 30 to 35 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a light blue hat, a shirt and shorts, Steadman said.
The second robbery happened just after 5 p.m. at a Chase bank on South Melrose Drive near Buena Vista Drive in Vista, Steadman said.
A man, described as a heavyset Latino in his mid-20s, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, walked into the Vista bank and handed a teller a demand note.
Both robbers left with an undisclosed amount of money. No vehicles were seen, Steadman said.
Tree trimmer buried by palm fronds rescued
BONITA: A tree trimmer buried by palm fronds was rescued yesterday by firefighters who used a ladder to recover him 40 feet from the ground.
The 40-year-old man was cutting fronds at a home on Sweetwater Road near Briarwood Road just after 10 a.m. when he became trapped by the fronds, said San Miguel Fire District spokesman Leonard Villarreal.
The man had a partner on the ground who called for help.
Firefighters heard the man yelling when they arrived but could not see him.
The man had secured a safety line around the tree, but became pinched against it by cut fronds that created rings and weighed down the line, Villarreal said.
Trimmers have been known to be asphyxiated in such instances because the safety line becomes a hazard that traps them, Villarreal said.
More than a dozen firefighters were involved in the rescue. It took about an hour to free the man, who suffered scrapes and cuts and was taken to a hospital for observation. He was later released "and eager to get back to work," Villarreal said.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Dr. Paige, Thank you so much for the encouragement. It certainly feels like an insurmountable problem at this point, so it's reassuring to hear it can be done. Right now, I am enrolled full time as a student at xxxxxxxxxxxxx with plans to graduate in Summer 2015. I could probably get a job without him knowing, as long as it is part time and within normal business hours, since he is generally gone from 6am to 5pm every day. Unfortunately, my family can't do too much to support me. My parents do not have a lot of resources, so beyond sending something small like $50 for groceries, they cannot help me. They are, however, aware of the situation and support my resolve to get out, as they do not like David.
Ok, you have a lot on your side which is good. Of course college is very important and you should finish, but can you transfer to a Texas based school with little hassle or do you need to finish in xxx? 2 years is not that long, although it feels like an eternity right now I'm sure. If you are able to get a pt time and you want to stay in xxxxto finish your degree, I might think about looking into renting a room or into campus housing depending on the cost and any financial aid options to you. I would also seek out the counselor at the campus at the university and talk about your situation. They may offer you a good solution with housing involved with the university that would be doable for you. At least it would be a step in the right direction. You would be out of there and still able to continue your education. I think that may be a good resource for you to look into. What do you think?
I could easily transfer back to the institution I just left (xxxxxxxxxxxx), but my problem arises with moving and all of the associated costs. I also have more contacts there and am familiar with the area, but I don't know anyone I could crash with until I get on my feet. The university usually offers easy-to-get, minimum wage positions at 10-12 hours per week, which is great for school, but I'm afraid that I have backed myself into a corner where I simply cannot support myself financially. It seems easier (albeit more expensive school-wise) to hang out in xxxxx until I graduate. I will, however, look into renting a room. Perhaps I can find something a lot cheaper on xxxxxxxxx after I get a PT job :)

31 January 2007 – for immediate release
Professor Helen Griffiths from Aston University in Birmingham will give the University's latest Inaugural Lecture on Tuesday, 12th February in the Warwick Lecture Theatre at 6.30pm.
Prof Griffiths is an expert in the relationship between diet and cardiovascular disease.
She says: 'Average life-span has increased in the last century across the world with improved standards of living. However, our health span has not increased in parallel as expected. The burden of disease has gradually shifted to the non-communicable diseases such as chronic inflammatory disease and metabolic syndrome. Cardiovascular disease is a common complication of non-communicable diseases and their increasing prevalence is exacerbated by changes in diet (towards saturated fats and sugars).
'So what are the changes in our metabolism that contribute to the development of vascular diseases? How can we know if our diet is "biologically healthy"? Why does so much confusion exist over dietary vitamins - are they beneficial or not?
These and other issues will be discussed in the lecture. Entrance is free and everyone is welcome.
Tea will be served before the lecture from 5.30pm (in 'Astons', opposite the Warwick Lecture Theatre), and there will be a buffet after the talk.
Please contact Jean Hasson, University Communications on 0121 204 4551 or via email to book a seat.
Please also note, that previous inaugural lectures are available to view online at the following link:http://www.aston.ac.uk/about/news/events/lecturevideos.jsp
For further press information or to arrange an interview with Professor Griffiths please contact Sally Finn on 0121 204 4552.

Several weeks ago, when we made the show arrangements for the first show, she asked me to send her a list of basic essentials for survival.
Once I sat down to put it together, it didn't take that long. I sent her the list which appears below, as bare bones as it is. I figured it would be scratch notes to work from. To my surprise, Sylvia had high praise for it as one of the best lists she's seen for beginner preppers.
Much of what's on it is simple, common sense. Some of what I jotted down was influenced by guests I've interviewed on DestinySurvival Radio. Info gleaned from Selco's One Year in Hell course provided further input.
The list isn't necessarily in order of priority either. You might put water above food. Sylvia and I agree that having a Bible is definitely a priority item.
See what you think.
Recommended Necessities for Preppers
- Provision for adequate shelter. (Broad subject–Know how to stay warm or cool, as well as dry.)
- Food for your survival pantry–Whatever you can get that's healthful.
- Water supply–Store it or know a source. Water filtration system like Berkey.
- First Aid Kit–Adventure Medical Kit with items categorized. Medications for family members. Extra bandages & sanitation supplies.
- Adequate clothing for the seasons. Accommodate growing children. Extra shoes for all.
- Gardening supplies–Seeds, fertilizer & soil supplementation, good hand tools.
- Survival library.
- School materials for home schooling.
- Games for the family.
- Bible.
My list did indeed serve as conversation prompters. For example, under the topic of food, during the first show Sylvia mentioned her experimentation with dehydrating homemade meals. In the second show we went into a little more in depth about gardening supplies and seeds.
If I were to add something else to the list, it would be cash or some sort of negotiable currency. Items for self defense could also be included. We talked about these briefly in the second show. Sylvia mentioned emergency kits, too.
During that May 10th show, we expanded on what might be included in a survival library. While I recommend books here all the time for that, only a couple came to mind at that moment. Sylvia came to the rescue with her own list. Some are books I've mentioned here previously.
I hope you'll listen to the shows Sylvia and I did by clicking on them in the paragraph at the top of this post.
Incidentally, subscribers to the "DestinySurvival Dispatch" receive a bonus e-book called "Advice for New Preppers." It's a compilation of thoughts from some of my readers as to what advice they'd give to new preppers. If you're not already a subscriber, sign up at the top of the sidebar on this page, and you'll get this little e-book.
So what do you think? What would you add to the list above? What would you leave out? Leave your comment below and let others know.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Our foster dogs live as family members in the foster home until chosen for adoption.
Hi, my name is Leaper.
I am a five year old Greyhound/Lab Mix. I first came to the shelter as a stray. I need exercise which means I need to be walked. No couch potato family for me. I can jump a 5ft fence. The volunteers here at the shelter think I am a sweetheart. At least here at the shelter I have my basic needs met, like food and water plus a roof over my head. However, I am longing to find my forever home and a family to love. I have plenty of love to give. Do you have room in your heart and your home for me?? Come and have a meet-n-greet with me.
I am a young man at heart and I weigh around 30 pounds. I have been checked out by a veterinarian and neutered. I received a set of preventative shots, have been wormed, and tested negative for heartworms.
You can contact his foster mom, Dee by email by clicking here for more information on how he can become part of your family. Don't forget to complete the following adoption application. Please be patient, it may take a few days for your application to be reviewed.
click HERE to download an Adoption Application Questionnaire. Upon completion, email the application back to email@example.com
Help us continue our work in aiding our four-legged companions. Remember we are their voice. You can make a donation now using PayPal by clicking on the button below.
Leaper, a Cincinnati Greyhound/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound/Labrador Retriever for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Greyhound/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Cincinnati.

Critters' Winter Coats Not Removable
Baby Bucky Burro and his barn friend, Lady, the little senior mini-horse, both look cute in their fuzzy winter coats, but the unseasonable warm weather must be a little uncomfortable for them as the temperature climbs into the 50s and 60s. Hopefully, though, nature will keep their winter coats intact, as we still have February and March to get through.
Bill is keeping their barn floor cleaned out, putting fresh straw down and shutting their barn doors at night to help keep the cold air out.

Boeing Classic recognized for "Green behavior"July 28, 2011
Jeff Szklinski, Champions Tour staff
The Boeing Classic, a Champions Tour event held annually at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge just outside of Seattle, Wash., was recently highlighted as the newest member of the Green Sports Alliance, a non-profit organization with a mission to reduce the environmental impact of professional sports and to inspire fans to join in these efforts.
The Boeing Classic is the first and only professional golf tournament to be recognized by the Alliance, which includes an unprecedented collaboration of nine different professional sports leagues. The founding Alliance members include teams from the NHL, WNBA, MLB, NFL, NBA and MLS, among others.
The event is being praised for its significant commitment over the course of the past two years of minimizing the environmental impact of the tournament itself. The Boeing Classic was able to increase their waste diversion rate from just over 75% in 2009, to over 92% in 2010. This rate, as well as their 'total waste averted' standing helped them receive the "Recycler of the Year" award from the Washington State Recyclers Association.
Additionly, the tournament provided "recycling educators" as a part of their staff to encourage the 70,000+ spectators to be mindful of the way they disposed of their waste. It was these efforts that helped the tournament gain the attention of the Green Sports Alliance and be considered for recognition.
This year's event is less than a month away (Aug. 22-28) and will be the tournament's seventh year at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Past winners include World Golf Hall of Fame members Tom Kite (2006 & 2008) and Bernhard Langer, who last year secured his fifth victory of the season at the Boeing Classic and went on to win the season-long Charles Schwab Cup and Champions Tour Player of the Year honors.
Some other members of the Green Sports Alliance include noteworthy franchises such as the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Flyers. For more information about the Green Sports Alliance and the initiative to help professional sports "go green" visit their website here.

From: April
Dear Jessica, I own a 4-year-old Paint Breeding Stock mare that has not been ridden since November because of my pregnancy. She developed a soft lump on her inside foreleg about two months ago. The vet tells me it is a windpuff and it will eventually go away. It causes her to limp so I'd like to do something for her, but the vet says there is nothing I can do. I've checked all over the internet for information on windpuffs and have found nothing. Is there a technical term for them? Is there anything I can do for her? She is a very nice mare and I was considering breeding her next spring, but I'm worried about the strain the extra weight might put on her leg if it doesn't go away. I've always enjoyed your newsletter, and would appreciate any input you have. Thanks, April
Sometimes, there can be more to a windpuff than fluid pooling. The three most common causes for inflammation of the fetlock joint ("windpuffs" or "windgalls") are (1) physical stress (too much work, the wrong kind of work, work in difficult footing, etc.), (2) nutritional deficiencies (which would typically show up in at least two if not all four fetlocks), and (3) trauma (such as a sharp blow or a kick to the affected fetlock). But even so, there's usually no heat or pain involved - and no limping.
If your young mare has a swelling that's causing her to limp, it's very unlikely that this swelling is a windpuff. Your description of the location also makes a windpuff unlikely - this swelling is too high on her leg.
First, I'd suggest that you check her feet VERY carefully. A rock, a nail, a stone bruise, an incipient abscess - all of these can cause lameness. It's perfectly logical that you would see a lump on your mare's leg, watch her limp, and assume that the lump caused the limp, and you are probably right - but just in case, take a close look at that foot. Sometimes we can overlook one injury because we're paying so much attention to another one.
If you determine that your mare has no problem in the foot, and you're reasonably sure that her limp is the result of the lump on her leg, I would suspect something else is the problem - perhaps a splint, if it's actually higher than the fetlock. You may want to have a different vet look at your mare; I know that in some areas it's difficult to find a vet who specializes in horses, but it's best to get an equine specialist when there's a lameness involved. You may need to get some x-rays to help get this problem diagnosed.
Small fractures can result in the presence of small bits of bone, which, in the wrong place, can cause severe damage to a joint. A puncture injury, if it's deep enough, can also cause severe damage. Horses, like humans, can suffer from full or partial dislocations in joints. If your mare has been limping for two months, something is wrong.
Was your mare being worked when the injury occurred? I know that you haven't been riding her, but if someone has been running her around in circles, either on a longe line or in a round pen, she may have sustained an injury as a result. Common causes of such injuries include hitting the pen with a leg, hitting her own leg with the opposite foot, and straining a leg from tight-circle work. If she hasn't been worked in any way, what else has been going on? Is she turned out with other horses that may have kicked her? Might she have caught her leg in the fence? Splints, like bruises, tend to be swollen and hot when they are new, but a bruise should eventually resorb, whereas a splint, although it is unlikely to disappear entirely, should steadily become harder, smaller, and colder, and (with luck) cease to cause lameness.
Since this has been going on for so long, it's hard to say whether the problem would respond to treatment. But at least find out precisely what is causing the mare's lameness. Perhaps it's something that can be treated, so that she'll become sound and you'll be able to ride her eventually. Even if it can't be treated, if moving around isn't actually harmful to her, you may be surprised what a year of pasture turnout can do to help a horse heal. And if you're thinking of breeding her, it's especially important to know what's wrong with her - not just because of the effect of the extra weight on her lame leg, although you are very sensible to be thinking about that, but because what you find out may affect your decision to breed from this mare. Obviously, a kick in the pasture isn't going to cause a hereditary problem - but wouldn't you feel more secure about breeding this mare if you knew that the cause of her lameness was (for example) another horse that was turned out wearing hind shoes?
Good luck with your mare - and your new baby!

This is from Walter Williams, my second most favorite economist after Thomas Sowell.
Why is it that Egyptians do well in the U.S. but not Egypt? We could make that same observation and pose that same question about Nigerians, Cambodians, Jamaicans and others of the underdeveloped world who migrate to the U.S. Until recently, we could make the same observation about Indians in India, and the Chinese citizens of the People's Republic of China, but not Chinese citizens of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
[…]Much of Egypt's economic problems are directly related to government interference and control that have resulted in weak institutions vital to prosperity. Hernando De Soto, president of Peru's Institute for Liberty and Democracy (www.ild.org.pe), laid out much of Egypt's problem in his Wall Street Journal article (Feb. 3, 2011), "Egypt's Economic Apartheid." More than 90 percent of Egyptians hold their property without legal title.
De Soto says, "Without clear legal title to their assets and real estate, in short, these entrepreneurs own what I have called 'dead capital' — property that cannot be leveraged as collateral for loans, to obtain investment capital, or as security for long-term contractual deals. And so the majority of these Egyptian enterprises remain small and relatively poor."
Egypt's legal private sector employs 6.8 million people and the public sector 5.9 million. More than 9 million people work in the extralegal sector, making Egypt's underground economy the nation's biggest employer.
Why are so many Egyptians in the underground economy? De Soto, who's done extensive study of hampered entrepreneurship, gives a typical example: "To open a small bakery, our investigators found, would take more than 500 days. To get legal title to a vacant piece of land would take more than 10 years of dealing with red tape. To do business in Egypt, an aspiring poor entrepreneur would have to deal with 56 government agencies and repetitive government inspections."
Poverty in Egypt, or anywhere else, is not very difficult to explain. There are three basic causes: People are poor because they cannot produce anything highly valued by others. They can produce things highly valued by others but are hampered or prevented from doing so. Or, they volunteer to be poor.
Some people use the excuse of colonialism to explain Third World poverty, but that's nonsense. Some the world's richest countries are former colonies: United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Some of the world's poorest countries were never colonies, at least for not long, such as Ethiopia, Liberia, Tibet and Nepal. Pointing to the U.S., some say that it's bountiful natural resources that explain wealth. Again nonsense. The two natural resources richest continents, Africa and South America, are home to the world's most miserably poor. Hong Kong, Great Britain and Japan, poor in natural resources, are among the world's richest nations.
What is necessary for wealth is a capitalist economy, that emphasizes the rule of law, private property, judicial restraint, limited government, etc. Egypt has none of those, and that's why Egypt is poor. India and Chile used to be like Egypt, but then they revamped their societies to be more like America. Now India and Chile are more prosperous. Economics is not rocket science.
Capitalism creates wealth, and raises the standard of living of the poor and the wealthy. It doesn't matter what rung of the social ladder someone is on – as long as they can keep what they earn, instead of having it redistributed by socialists, then they will work hard to create something of value to share with others. Poverty is caused by economic ignorance.
More Walter Williams stuff here, and more Thomas Sowell stuff here. These are the clearest-thinking economists operating today.

Traditional Jewish mourning and bereavement practices are designed to help us bear our grief. But sometimes we need something more: a poem that captures our imagination, a creative ritual that addresses the particularity of our grief, a song that speaks to our heart.

Bangkok • Thailand's all-powerful army chief started the extraordinary meeting by asking participants to give a progress report on their "homework."
The participants were the country's most important political rivals, plus four Cabinet ministers from the embattled government, election commissioners and senators. The homework: solving a crisis so complex it has split the Southeast Asian nation for nearly a decade, fueling repeated spasms of bloodshed and upheaval.
They didn't know it then, but they only had about two hours to figure it all out. Just after 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the conference room would be sealed by soldiers, and the man who called the meeting, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, would become Thailand's new ruler.

The Mediterranean diet has been proven to have multiple health benefits, but is weight loss one of them?

What Is the Mediterranean Diet?

Rather than being a fad diet that one chooses solely for the short-term purposes of weight loss, the Mediterranean diet is a lifestyle choice, a way of eating for the rest of one's life. This is the natural style of eating for most of the inhabitants of countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea—hence the name.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes consumption of whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, tree nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, fish and poultry, and wine (particularly red wine) in moderation.

Weight Change with Mediterranean Diet

Many have wondered if the inclusion of higher-than-average amounts of extra-virgin olive oil or nuts in the diet, which has a net result of adding fat to the daily diet—and, essentially, making it a high-fat diet—might result in weight gain.

Surprisingly, however, in the latest results released from the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) trial at the 2015 American Heart Association meeting in Orlando, Florida, the higher-fat Mediterranean diet actually showed more weight loss (a little over 2 lbs.) than the low-fat control diet.

Researchers believe that this may be due to the nature of the fats inherent in the Mediterranean diet. Olive oil and nuts fall into the category of "good fats," which are low in saturated fat and high in mono- and polyunsaturated fats. They are also high in polyphenols, nutrients which have been found to play a role in preventing cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.

Thus, the healthy fats are likely processed and metabolized differently by the human body, and the result is reassuring: eating more of these healthy fats does not result in weight gain at all.

Other Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet

In the 1990s, the results of a landmark trial known as the Lyon Diet Heart Study were released. This study looked at 605 patients who had already had a heart attack and followed them for an average of nearly 4 years. The study investigators found that those who followed a Mediterranean diet enriched in alpha-linolenic acid (a precursor to omega-3 fatty acids) had a much lower risk of having another heart attack or dying from heart disease.

Interestingly, in the Lyon Diet Heart Study, not only did the Mediterranean diet lower the risk of recurrent heart disease; it also lowered the overall cancer risk by a whopping 61%.

More recently, in 2013, results from the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) trial were first released. Also a randomized trial, this study looked at patients who had no known cardiovascular disease but were at high risk. The study investigators followed these patients for nearly five years and found that those who followed a Mediterranean diet supplemented either with extra-virgin olive oil or with mixed nuts were less likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or death from a cardiac cause than were those study participants who were simply advised to reduce the fat in their daily diets.

Now, further analysis of the PREDIMED trial has shown that following the Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil reduced the risk of breast cancer.

Destrehan quarterback Donovan Isom has committed to play football for the University of Utah.
Isom completed 122 of his 193 passes last season for 1,805 yards and six touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound quarterback was also dangerous on the ground, rushing for 477 yards and eight touchdowns.
Isom is expected to have a huge senior season in his second year as starter for the Wildcats. Destrehan head coach Stephen Robicheaux credits Isom's strong work ethic with his athletic success.
"You are not going to find a guy that works harder in your program," Robicheaux said. "He wants to be really good, he works at it and he is a true leader on this football team."
Isom committed to Utah over offers from Miami, Tulane and Louisiana Tech.

Fetuses and children are more susceptible to the effects of environmental toxins. The objective of this article is to determine the levels of organochlorine pesticides (HCB, ß-HCH, pp'DDT, op'DDT and pp'DDE) in the serum lipids of mothers of newborns with cryptorchidism and compare the levels to a control group of mothers of newborns with descended testicles. The cases were composed of newborns with cryptorchidism (n=41), and the controls (n=41) newborns with descended testicles. Blood samples from both groups of mothers were used to determine the organochlorine pesticide levels. Cryptorchidism was diagnosed at birth by a neonatologist. The results showed that the organochlorine pesticide residues were found in the serum lipids of both groups of mothers. The median serum lipid levels (mgkg-1 lipid-based) were statistically higher for the metabolites pp'DDT (0.464 vs. 0.269) and ß-HCH (0.263 vs. 0.192) in the cryptorchidism group compared to the control group (p<0.01). It could be concluded that the levels of the metabolites pp'DDT and ß-HCH are higher among mothers of newborns with cryptorchidism. It is possible that substances with anti-androgenic effects could produce endocrine disruption, such as cryptorchidism, during fetal development.

.22lr abd 22 mag differences
I was looking at my dads ruger single six and he doesnt have the .22lr cylinder anymore so all we can shoot through it is 22 mag i was looking at the differences (other than being shorter) and i noticed 22 mag was slightly larger in diameter and i measered it and it was. 224 instead of. 223
And the rim was larger on the magnum so...would it be safe or even possible to shoot. 22 lr through it?
I know its a dumb question but I'm just curious.
The 22lr cartridge could split in the magnum chamber, and bad things could happen.
22 mag is slightly larger in diameter than the 22lr.
Like what bad things? Major gas bleeding off and causing damage that way or explosions?
God didnt make all men equal colonel sam colt did
Oh it's possible to fire a .22LR through a magnum cylinder,and chances are you could get away with it for a long time with no issues,but it's not worth that chance if something does goes wrong.When I was a kid my neighbor an I used to shoot .22 mag and .22LR in the same cylinder of some single action revolver his dad had,we never had issues but now I know better to not risk something like that.
just because something will fit into the chamber, doesn't mean it's safe to shoot. remember the chamber is designed to hold all that pressure, support the case, and propel the bullet down the barrel. so if it doesn't fit properly, all the pressure is now uncontrolled and can cause bad things to happen. remember this is one of the rules of gun safety, only use ammo marked for the chamber in which it is to be fired in, period.
The 22lr uses a heeled bullet and the outside case diameter is the same diameter as the bullet. The 22 mag uses a normal bullet and the outside case diameter is larger than the bullet. The 22lr would be a very loose fit in the 22 mag chamber and would be unsupported. The chances of a ruptured case are high and it is not safe.
There are two exceptions to the rule of marked chambers. It is perfectly safe to shoot 38 specials in 357 magnum chambers. Also 44 specials are safe in 44 magnums. This might also be true with the 41' s but I'm not sure.

text: Adobe Lightroom Just caught wind of this one and downloaded the beta (sorry Windows users, only available for Macs). Looks like it's Adobe's answer to Aperture and provides a great way for pro/hobbyist photographers to manage their digital photographs and process RAW images. I haven't used Aperture so I can't compare the 2. But it could certainly be a nice replacement to iPhoto which I use to manage all of my photos (editing still done in Photoshop). Despite the fact that it is only a beta release it feels very solid. Then again I've only used it for about 15 minutes so far. Although I do miss the tight integration with Apple's other iLife apps. If anyone else has had the chance to "kick the tires" chime on in with your experiences.

When Isaac Beeler died, in 1872, nearly all of his children had moved away. The three who remained in Lee Co., IA were David Beeler, Martha Beeler Seeley and Abraham Beeler. Nancy Beeler Newton was living in Crawfordsville, IN; William Beeler was decease, his widow and children were living in Anderson Co., KS; Joseph Beeler and Jesse Beeler were living in Crawford Co., KS; Abraham Beeler was only 9 years old when Isaac died. Isaac had raised him alone since the death of Maria Blaufus Beeler. If you are a Blaufus researcher, who has information on Maria Blaufus, please contact me at the email address below. I am seeking information on her parents and when she came to this country.

A Peruvian policeman who went missing in the jungle for 17 days after being wounded in clashes with left-wing rebels has been reunited with his family.
Luis Astuqillca, 22, was part of a patrol searching for 36 gas workers kidnapped by Shining Path guerrillas which came under attack in the Alto Kepashiato area on April 12, according to the BBC.
He sustained bullet wounds to his thigh and one of his hands, but managed to escape with a second policeman, disappearing into the jungle for two and a half weeks before walking into the village of Pastoquiato on Sunday, Peru this week reports.

No details are yet known as to how survived his ordeal in the jungle. The second policeman remains missing. Three members of Peru's security forces were killed and two others wounded by Shining Path rebels on April 28 while they were searching for Astuquillca and his fellow officer, according to Reuters.
According to CNN, the 36 hostages were released six days after being kidnapped in the Apurimac and Ene valleys.

1. The black-footed ferret (BFF), a member of the weasel family (which includes otters and wolverines), grows up to 30 inches long, including its tail, and weighs up to two-and-a-half pounds.
2. Ferrets probably got their start 3 or 4 million years ago in Europe and came to North America at least 100,000 years ago via the Bering Land Bridge, which connected Siberia to Alaska during the most recent ice age.
3. Once established in North America, the BFF ranged from the prairies of southern Canada to Texas (perhaps even into northern Mexico), and from the Rockies east into the Dakotas, living in a dozen states and two Canadian provinces.
4. In North America, the ferret became a specialist in preying on prairie dogs. It lives in prairie dog towns,
5. The grasslands favored by North America's three prairie dog species once covered 100 million of the 500 million acres of western rangeland.
6. Travelers in the 19th-century West passed through prairie dogs up to 50 miles wide and 250 miles long.
7. Agriculture and poisoning of prairie dogs (because settlers saw them as competitors for livestock forage and were feared their burrows as a source of broken legs for cattle and horses) have reduced occupied ferret range to less than 2 percent of its their original extent. Today, the BFF is one of the world's most endangered mammals.
8. Black-footed ferrets have always been rare for as long as they've been known. Between 1851, when the species was first recognized by naturalists, and 1896, only six specimens (all skins) accounted for everything known about the animals.
9. BFFs have been declared extinct several times in the recent past, including in the 1960s and 1970s.
10. In 1981, on a ranch near the town of Meeteetse in northwest Wyoming, a dog named Shep came home carrying a dead ferret. This discovery caused quite a to-do among biologists, who had suspect the species was extinct. Researchers soon located a population of about 130 ferrets near Meeteetse. Eighteen of these ferrets were taken into captivity between 1985 and 1987 for captive breeding.
11.More than 7,000 young—called kits—have been born in captivity since 1985, including 310 in 2010, as of August 2 (most are born in May). Since 1987, more than 2,300 kits have been released into the wild.
12. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the captive breeding program keeps a core population of at least 240 adults (90 males, 150 females; the current total is around 290) housed in six locations across the United States and Canada.
13. Since 2000, the Lakota people of the 2.8-million-acre Cheyenne River Reservation, working with NWF, have released 201 captive-bred ferrets in the reservation's prairie dog colonies. These ferrets have produced nearly 600 young, and the population is now self-sustaining. The Cheyenne River Reservation harbors about 7 percent of remaining U.S. prairie dog habitat.

Private equity firm Warburg Pincus – which owns retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Poundland and Bausch & Lomb, and food manufacturers including Premier Foods – has snapped up a majority stake in privately owned retail and consumer marketing and services firm Crossmark.
The portfolio investment, which is expected to be announced in the United States today, is a clear sign of Warburg Pincus's confidence in the long-term growth in retail and consumer products. While the size of the deal will not be disclosed, Crossmark's founders and principals, including global CEO John Thompson, plan to remain at the helm and use the capital injection to expand the group's operations. Crossmark's Asia Pacific chief, Kevin Moore, sees scope to tap into Warburg Pincus's intellectual capital and network of advisers around the world.
Elsewhere, Rothschilds and Rabobank have sold Kitchens of Sara Lee to McCain Foods for $82 million.
The deal completes a process that started in May last year, only to be interrupted when Sara Lee announced plans to demerge Hillshire Brands.

Obama's Chained CPI Throws Off Politicians
ABC Digital
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — President Obama's outline for government spending in fiscal year 2014 includes a controversial proposal that has not only thrown the Republican Party off balance at the outset of upcoming budget negotiations but has also split his own party.
The proposal is a move to slow entitlement spending, and it goes by the name of Chained CPI.
The president's budget recommends a chained Consumer Price Index, or CPI — the measure by which a heavy percentage of government spending, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, is calculated. Much of the country's projected debt is a result of future retirees collecting on entitlements that are not fiscally sustainable in the long run.
Current law calculates benefits based on CPI-W, or CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, which tracks the value of the U.S. dollar. Chained CPI adds nuance to the equation.
By indexing benefits through chained CPI rather than CPI-W, benefits would increase less quickly since it considers a consumer's decision to get stingy or extravagant as prices of everyday items fluctuate.
For example, if a middle class family decided that a flight from Washington to New York was too expensive as the price of jet fuel increased, that family could take a bus, at a fraction of the cost.
Chained CPI isn't a new proposal. Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles first offered up the idea in their initial plan for deficit reduction two years ago. The duo suggested it again in February of this year. And Obama included it as part of his concessions to House Speaker John Boehner during fiscal cliff negotiations back in December, irking Democrats.
In a Rose Garden statement on Wednesday, the president said, "When it comes to deficit reduction, I've already met Republicans more than halfway. So in the coming days and weeks, I hope that Republicans will come forward and demonstrate that they're really as serious, as serious about the deficits and debt as they claim to be."
In past fiscal showdowns, Republicans have slammed the White House for resisting entitlement reform, but so far, it seems Obama's play has confused the GOP's messaging machinery.
On Wednesday, Republican Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, broke from the pack of Republicans who favor chained CPI, criticizing cuts to benefits as harmful for members of one of the country's most vulnerable population: senior citizens.
"I thought it's very intriguing in that his budget really lays out kind of a shocking attack on seniors, if you will," Walden, an eight-term veteran of the House, told CNN.
Those comments surprised many Republicans, prompting Boehner to condemn Walden's comments.
"I've made it clear that I disagree with what Chairman Walden said," Boehner told reporters on Thursday. "He and I have had a conversation about it, and I expect [chained CPI] is the least we must do to begin to solve the problems in Social Security."
On the other hand, Paul Ryan, the former GOP nominee for vice president, told ABC News this week that the president's proposed cuts don't qualify as a genuine overhaul in his book, even though his own calls for reform have focused on an imbalance in the amount of benefits the government pays out versus what it takes in.
"I don't know if I would say that he cracked the door on entitlement reform," Ryan, R-Wis., said in reference to Obama's CPI adjustment. "He has proposed to change a statistic, which saves money. That is really not entitlement reform."
The chained CPI proposal has also caused heavy consternation in the president's own party, with progressives rallying against the pitch. A group of about 100 liberal and progressive activists came to Washington this week to deliver a petition to Obama, specifically opposing his cuts to Social Security payments through chained CPI.
While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has saluted Obama for his "great" budget proposal, she conceded that the House Democratic Caucus is split on chained CPI. The caucus invited experts on both sides of the issue to educate members on the divisive proposal Thursday.
But not everyone is irked this time. Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a bipartisan policy organization, said Obama's push for chained CPI is a good sign for how budget negotiations will go this time around.
"The president's showing that he is still open to making budget negotiations on budget reforms, and I think that's incredibly important," Goldwein told ABC News on Thursday.
Goldwein applauded the measure that he said would cut spending across the federal government, but he warned more steps are necessary to close the annual budget deficit.
"If we think this is the end of the story, I think we're kidding ourselves, he said. "But it's an important start."

Glasgow City Council for one is to turn part of the land at a crematorium in the south side of the city into a natural burial ground as the first of three possible sites. From this summer, Linn Crematorium will offer a number of plots where trees will be used instead of headstones, with traditional, cardboard, eco-pod or willow caskets options for burial. If successful, it is believed the Western Necropolis in the city (which alaready has a heritage trail) will be next for consideration.
Private company Native Woodland, presently operates three woodland burial sites in (right) Scotland: at Delliefure in Speyside, at Cothiemuir Hill near Alford, Aberdeen, and Hundy Mundy Wood near Kelso. It is to apply to a further four local authorities in to open new sites near Dundee, Perth, Lanark and Inverness.
Ian Wells of Native Woodland said the firm is "desperate" to secure sites near Glasgow and west of Edinburgh, and is currently assessing 17 sites across the UK. "There is a huge demand," he says adding that the concept of a natural burial is "rapidly becoming mainstream now" and it is important for people to have local site access, adding that the company are selling plots in the Borders to people from Northern Ireland.
According to Well, it is not easy to secure a site for woodland burial due to strict environmental regulations laid out to protect the water table Site assessments can cost upwards of £25,000 " New sites planned for Northern Ireland and Europe and Wells is hopeful the firm can secure 50 new sites in the next five years.
Where burial at sea is also an option, it appears to be curiously for an island, a slightly tricky issue in Scotland and the UK. In the US, it is undertaken by the United States Navy Mortuary Affairs Burial At Sea Program. But interestingly, Lots Design of Sweden do have an eco-friendly sea offering
Orkney Islands Council has also had talks with a natural burial operator, although they are understood to be in the pre-planning stage. Considerations are also being made by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) for a site in East Lothian, after it gained planning permission from the local authority.
Mike Jarvis from the Natural Death Centre (NDC), a UK-wide body, said "There is a big generational grouping of baby boomers getting older that are going to want to have a woodland burial when their time comes." Research by the NDC predicts that by 2010, 12% of the 180,000 burials that take place each year in the UK will be in woodland or natural settings.

Arrests made in Richland County copper thefts
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:04:13 GMT —
RICHLAND COUNTY (WACH) - Three men have been arrested in connection with a series of copper thefts in Richland County and more arrests could be coming.
Sheriff Leon Lott says Marko Adam Gilmore was arrested Thursday and is charged with three counts of metals/unlawful transportation/possession of non ferrous metals in a vehicle and three counts of receiving stolen goods. Troy Kennedy turned himself in on Tuesday and is charged with obtaining non ferrous metals unlawfully. Lyndon Lamar Douglas was arrested Friday and is charged with receiving stolen goods and two counts of metals/transport of stolen non ferous metals.
Gilmore was arrested authorities say they received a tip from CrimeStoppers. He is accused of stealing copper from a business on Key Road, a business on Shop Road, and a church on Andrews Road. Combined damages to the three businesses are estimated to be about $16,200.
Troy is accused of being tied to 150 pounds of copper stolen from a home under construction and is also a suspect in a recent copper theft from another home under construction.
Douglas is accused of stealing copper from a businesses on Blythewood Road and Farrow Road. The copper taken from these businesses was valued at thousands of dollars, according to Lott.
Lott says the Richland County Sheriff's Department is working aggressively to combat copper theft. He suggets some ways that to help remove the opportunity for copper theft:
- Install cameras
- Post â??No Trespassingâ?? signs
- Put up fencing or caging up
- Locking buildings securely at night
- Use florescent paint or engraving to personalize your copper
- Possibly consider putting your companyâ??s logo the copper
- Use DATA DOTS
- Join a Crime Watch Neighborhood Association
- Start a Crime Watch Neighborhood Association
- ake advantage of the free services from the Richland County Sheriffâ??s Department Community Action Team
These steps can also aid in identifying materials if theyâ??re stolen and turn up later.
Authorities expect additional arrests to be made.
On March 25, the sheriff's department announced that nine churches in Richland County were victims of copper theft.
Anyone with additional information on copper theft in Richland County should call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Lady Bulldogs on a roll, tied for first place
By Jordan J. Michael
BERNE Thirteen girls sat, intently, on the bench for the Berne-Knox-Westerlo soccer team on Friday. Each time a teammate would come off for a substitution, the girls would stand up, cheering in unison.
The Bulldogs' opponent, Mekeel Christian Academy, which recently changed its name from Schenectady Christian to honor a deceased minister, had only one girl on its bench. She was unable to play because she had a cast on her foot.
BKW has an enormous team and some of the girls won't play very much. Bill Dergosits, the new head coach, told The Enterprise that he didn't cut any players because BKW no longer has a junior-varsity squad.
"All these girls are great and they're thrilled to be part of something," Dergosits said after the 3-to-1 win at home on Friday. "We're trying to build a program. The school has been very supportive, giving us extra gear."
Sophomore Delaney Martin scored both goals for the Lady Bulldogs in the first half, and added another in the second half to complete her hat trick. Martin almost found the net four times, but Mekeel goalkeeper Emily Taplin robbed her with a diving save.
"I'm ecstatic," said Martin, who is new to the varsity team. "Just being able to play soccer is awesome."
Martin feels the warmth from her teammates. "We're a family," she said. "We play for each other."
After Tropical Storm Irene, BKW scrambled to make its first game, against Duanesburg, which was a 1-to-1 tie. The Bulldogs haven't lost since and sit at the top of the Western Athletic Conference North with a 3-0-1 record. The team played at Canajoharie on Wednesday.
"Soccer is big around here," Dergosits said. "We put our best team out there, but the main things are togetherness and fun. Everyone is on board and it makes our team that much better."
Junior goalkeeper Liz Harvey has a 93-percent save rate, but she barely touched the ball against Mekeel on Friday. Martin and Makayla McCormick each have four goals on the season.
Seniors Carlie Bassler, Anna Crounse, Chelsea Hannan, Faith Sisson, Abby Swint, and Tori Villeneuve each have two years of experience for BKW. Dergosits said that some players on the team help run the Knox Soccer Program.
"We're trying to get things going," said Dergosits. "It's nice to see the excitement."

Producers who recognize foot rot and develop strategies to prevent and treat it can successfully protect their cattle herds performance. Causing an estimated 75 percent of all lameness diagnosed in beef cattle, foot rot, or interdigital dermatitis, can be detrimental to the health of a herd and profits of an operation.

ohhhhhhh, i think we'll head out to the farmer's market, eat brunch at The Spotted Pig, and then read lots of stories with the kids.
perhaps a little drive with a great cup of coffee and a camera to take pictures of the leaves that are coming ever-so-slowly into beautiful color in Dallas. And then, back to reality and work.
Just came upon your blog and jewelry site through Money Saving Mom. GORGEOUS stuff! Will be talking with my middle sister about getting a necklace for our youngest sister for her college graduation. Now on to this weekend… we've planned a do-all-the-putsy-projects-around-the-house weekend: hanging pictures, rehanging a towel rack, fixing three doorknobs, re-caulking one of the bathtubs.
Can't wait!
We are having my in laws over and I need to return a sweater 🙂
I'll be working…I'm on call for the orthopaedic trauma service. Planning on assisting on at least to surgeries…then it's time to relax…
