What Is The Trick To Putting Ribbon On A Cake.
Decorating By adorablemomof3 Updated 26 Mar 2013 , 7:24pm by -K8memphis
Hi everyone....It's been a minute. Hope everyone is well! I want to make a cake for my mother and I want to put a ribbon around it. I don't see information yet on how to do this. Can someone help me out?
I know there are probably posts, but I know it can be hard to use the search feature - LOL! Cut the ribbon as long as you need it, use a small rolling pin/fondant roller/anything cylindrical like that and roll the ribbon onto that (wrapping straight around it if that makes sense), then place the end where you want the ribbon to start and roll/unwind it onto the cake where you want it! It may take a few tries to perfect it, but it's a fairly simple technique to place ribbon. HTH!
If I am placing ribbon on a cake with buttercream frosting, I will use double stick tape and wax or parchment paper. I just stick the tape onto the paper and then lay the ribbon down onto the tape. I then just trim the paper on each edge of the ribbon. I then roll the ribbon paper side out and secure with a straight pin until I am ready to unroll and place it onto the cake.
To prevent marring of the frosting, and having to shift it around, I do it very differently than the way described above. I start with a very chilled cake, and find the middle of the ribbon (between the two cut ends, I mean). I attach the middle of the ribbon to the very front of the middle of the tier it is going on. And work around to the back on both sides at the same time. This ensures that there isn't any shifting or creeping up in areas if you apply it starting at the end, and working around in one direction only.
if you don't want it to absorb the grease than iron some wax paper to the back of it.
and based on the way all of you apply your ribbons...it will just stick? nothing else is necessary? Hmph...seems fairly easy.
If it's BC, it should grip right in. I line mine with clear contact paper on the back to make it very stiff, and not sage or look crumpled when BC soaks into it. I don't use a crusting BC (except in rare occasions), so I have to watch for it. On fondant, a small dab of stragetically placed piping gel or royal icing will work in areas.
im curious....how does the ribbon stay put.....should it be secured with something?
k - I'm a dork, just assumed you meant fondant ribbon, LOL!!
Oh yeah, fondant ribbon, I do it like you described for sure Renae...lol, I assumed we were talking about real ribbon! Lol!
and based on the way all of you apply your ribbons...it will just stick? nothing else is necessary? Hmph...seems fairly easy.
Sorry for the confusion...I was talking about applying a real ribbon to the cake.
Hi everyone....It's been a minute. Hope everyone is well! I want to make a cake for my mother and I want to put a ribbon around it. I don't see information yet on how to do this. Can someone help me out?
Real ribbon can absorb grease from BC so you have to either line it with wax paper or packing tape, or choose a ribbon a shade lighter and grease it with crisco. I just did the second version on a wedding cake. Rub crisco into it and it will discolor evenly.
I don't like using ribbons on cake unless it is food safe. If you want to use it, overlap the ribbons and stick double sided tape on the ends.

Thank you. I wll be using ribbons from baking supplies.
Hi which fondat is best for wedding cakes? thanx
One way to ensure that the ribbon sits straight around the cake - is to ensure that the sides of the cake are vertical, smooth - free from bumps or bulges.
Sometimes you may find that fondant or buttercream can be thicker at the bottom of the cake than the top, but you can rectify this problem by doing the following:
Fondant - rotate the cake on a turntable between two flat edge smoothers pushing upwards for a more even distribution of fondant - to ensure the sides are vertical.
Buttercream - rotate cake on a turntable, and with a side scraper or palette knife - apply more pressure from the bottom of the cake upwards - to remove or redistribute the excess buttercream towards the top edge of the cake - to ensure the sides are vertical
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for your help. it infor. really helps, but what about the other ribbons. is there any tool that i can use to make them straight all around? the pic of the cake i posted it last week. at the top at the page, three tiered cake with ribbons all around and magnolia flower. plz help. thank you.
check out the http://craftsy.com class by Jessica Harris. Or better yet, check her blog she's got a 50% off offer there.

Hi ruwaida5
Where do I find the picture of the three tiered cake with ribbons all around and magnolia flower - that you posted last week? I have checked this post and your photo albums, but with no results. Are there multiple ribbons on EACH tier of the cake?
Thank you very much Margaret. Sorry you couldnt find the pic. I will post it on profile.
That cake was just sample i didnt do it but the bride want it the same thing. i think its already in my profile click on photoes. and it also went in the cake central newest cakes{gallery}. Thank you Margaret
Hi ruwaida5
Thanks for posting the cake again - its beautiful!
To ensure that the ribbons are even around the cake is - before youbegin, make sure that the sides are the cake are VERTICAL from the bottom upwards! Note how NEAT and STRAIGHT the sides are on your SAMPLE cake.
When you have the first ribbon on, measure the exact distance above this one - where you want to position the second one - marking the fondant around the sides of the cake at intervals, with a cake scriber or an edible ink pen. This should help to keep the line space between the ribbons STRAIGHT.
Repeat this step with the 3rd and 4th ribbon - ensure all joins are facing in the one direction at the back of the cake
The other option would be to use a wider black ribbon, and position the narrow white one over the the black one - to give a similar effect.
Good luck with the challenge!
Hope this helps!
Oh my Thank you very much margaret. this really hepls alot, either i have to find the cake scriber coz it will be easy for me. i dont know where i will find it. If i didnt find it i will go with wider ribbon and small cream colour ribbons. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Its me again! I had a closer look at your SAMPLE cake ( enlarged the picture) I could be wrong but the black ribbon may be made with FONDANT STRIPS on buttercream. The ribbon appears to have very MATT finish. I wonder what other posters might think about this possibility?
IF the strips are made from fondant - roll out the fondant between 2 spacers, to ensure even thickness. Cut into strips then , preferably using a ribbon cutter for best results. I just know the Wilton brand as I happen to have this one. You will find some good tutorials on line - if you Google a demo on -" how to use a ribbon cutter" Alternatively improvise with a ruler, if you don't a have a ribbon cutter - rather than guess work with the widths. Place the strips around cake - measuring the space required between each - to maintain a straight line.
If you don't have cake scriber or edible pen - use a cocktail stick to mark out the position for the ribbon.
Hope this helps!
Its me. About the cake, yes it looks like butter cream frosting, I wondered also if it was ribbons or foundat. But either way i will make it with foundat and real ribbons, i dont know how it will turned out, God help me. I checked the cake scriber on line i saw one website its in london, coz its in pounds. I like that very much instead using pin scriber. The one i was talking about has a wheel where you turn the cake and it makes line all around the cake, and its adjustable, you can move it up and down. If you know about this tool where they sale it here. I live in Canada. Please inform me. Thank you again for your help.
Hi ruwaida
Would this cake marker by Wilton be the type of tool that you have been looking for? It has an adjustable guide - to mark straight lines around the cake. You can buy it online from www.wilton.com The price is €5.99 plus shipping costs and the good news is that Wilton ship to Canada. Hope this helps!

THE NEW YORK PRIMARY: HISTORY; Confusingly Close Primaries Are Not Unusual in New York
By MICHAEL COOPER
Published: September 14, 2005
The lingering uncertainty last night as to whether Fernando Ferrer had garnered the 40 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff election to become the Democratic nominee for mayor was certainly nothing new for New York primaries.
With Mr. Ferrer hovering at the magical 40 percent number, until all the absentee ballots are counted, it will not be clear if he can avoid a runoff with Representative Anthony D. Weiner, the nearest runner-up, who got 29 percent of the vote.
Such confusion has been the rule more often than the exception in recent mayoral races.
Take the debacle of 1997. Ruth W. Messinger, then the Manhattan borough president, appeared headed for a runoff with the Rev. Al Sharpton for the Democratic mayoral nomination. Eight days after the primary, with new votes found in recounts, she hit the 40 percent mark and avoided the runoff.
Mr. Sharpton sued to try to force the runoff. Though he was ultimately unsuccessful, it clouded Ms. Messinger's victory. And it did not help her in her already uphill race to unseat Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.
''It's not much fun to be so uncertain,'' Ms. Messinger said last night on NY1 News.
And four years ago, there was confusion about the tally in the runoff between Mr. Ferrer and Mark Green. On the night of the runoff, Mr. Green appeared to win. Then, a few days later, officials at the Board of Elections announced that they had found 42,000 uncounted votes. That prompted Mr. Ferrer to rescind the concession speech he made the night of the election, declaring ''we don't know'' who won.
In the end, Mr. Green's margin held. But several days of dispute over whether the runoff was over -- in an election that had already been delayed by the Sept. 11 attack -- slowed his momentum as the general election began.
Last night, Mr. Ferrer stopped just short of declaring outright victory, graciously thanking his opponents, including Mr. Weiner.
And Mr. Weiner did not concede, making a victory speech of his own in which he several times used the phrase ''As mayor, I will.''

She was the eldest of 9 children. Her elementary years were at Sunrise School, and she attended High school in North Branch, graduating in 1910. Adeline married Royal N. Hazel Nov. 26, 1931, and they celebrated 71 anniversaries prior to his death Nov. 12, 2003. Adeline is survived by her five children, Shirley (Glen) Campbell of Michigamme, Mich.; Beverley (Bill) Pier, of Racine, Wis.; Byron Hazel, of Garden Mich.; William (Cindy) Hazel, of Waukesha, Wis.; and Lynn (Lynn) Wakefield, of Morganton N.C., 14 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren. She is further survived by sisters, Ethel Andrews, Beth Clavadetscher, Laurel Reed, Alice Porath; and brother Wayne Grey, all from Minnesota. Adeline was proceeded in death by her parents, husband Royal, brothers James, Merril, and Paul, three grandsons: Daniel and Patrick Pier and Larry Campbell, and a great-grandson, Gary Campbell Jr. Most of Adeline's life was spent living in a trailer, due to her husbands work with an asphalt paving plant. At his retirement, they bought a house to renovate in Iron River, Mich. Because there were extra lots, Adeline started planting, and filled all the space with fruit trees, flowers and garden plots for summer planting of vegetables. She became known as "the flower lady" on their local radio program. Adeline and her husband were also active in the formation and building of the Lakeland Baptist church in Iron River. Her religious beliefs were very much a part of her life. Funeral services for Adeline were held at Northside Calvary Church, with Rev. Jason Holm officiating. She was brought to Minnesota to be laid to rest by her husband in the Sunrise Cemetery.

[24 February 2006]
This blog is proof that 1) some of the most creative people in our society are writing copy for ads and 2) this is extremely corrosive to their souls. What a tremendous waste of a culture's talent to have them thinking up ways to sell cold remedies and floor cleaner.
Most of the ad critiques to be found here are directed at ads' stupidity and ineffectiveness (and not at the noxiousness of ads in the abstract—perhaps that is self-evident), but they are probably the funniest thing I've read in a year.

F-Zero X
Review by ice beam
"My favorite racing game"
It is a shame really, So many people tend to ignore this fantastic racer for Mario Kart 64. F-Zero has always been Nintendo's other racing series. It has always been left behind in the dust by many people for Mario Kart. F-Zero X was the N64 F-Zero. I had always liked Mario Kart, but this game is way better. Plus, since it is in 3-D, it allowed them to expand upon track design. I will explain that later in the review.
I must say that the only flaw in F-Zero X are the graphics. I'm not asking for Gamecube-esque graphics, but I thought the could do just a little bit better. There is hardly any backgrounds, just sky and some 2-D objects in the background. But one advantage of the graphics is that it can show up to 30 vehicles on the screen at one time.
When you start off the game, you will be greeted with a strange rock/guitar theme with a comic book picture of F-Zero in the background. It was just a strange thing to me that I had to put it down in this review.
First off, you can choose between 30 racers in this game. That's right. Thirty. That is a lot compared to Mario Kart's eight. Each machine has four categories, Body, Boost, Grip, and Weight. Each of these categories (excluding weight) are rated from A to E, with A being excellent and E being terrible. Let me use an example. The Crazy Bear has an A for body, a B for boost, and an E for grip. That means it can take a ton of damage, can get a kick out of boosting, but slides around a lot. Each vehicle has different ratings, meaning anyone can find the vehicle that is right for them.
One thing radically different from the original and this game is the boosting. In the original F-Zero, you got to boost after you finished a lap. In this game, you can boost whenever you want after the first lap. But don't think you can just boost recklessly. Every time you boost, you will drain some of your vehicles energy. If you run out of energy, your car will crash and burn (literally). That means you only need to boost in places that others slow down or when you need to catch up. In the tracks are purple "pit stops." When you run through these, it will heal your energy. These are usually placed before the finish line.
One thing I have always liked about F-Zero is that is skill-based only. If you mess up, it is your fault. Nothing like in Mario Kart, where your opponent gets advantage of you by hitting you with an item. But don't think that doesn't mean there aren't obstacles all over the courses though. By pressing Z or R twice, you can perform a ramming attack, which you can use to knock your opponents against a wall or off the track. You can also perform a spin attack to knock at many opponents.
This game has twenty-four tracks to race on. All of the tracks are well-designed, they are not too long, but not too short either. Now that F-Zero is in 3-D, the tracks could be created to their full potential. Gone are racing on on flat 2-D courses, now we can race on loops, pipes, mirrored roads, upside down areas, half-pipes, corkscrews, and even cylinders! Each of the twenty-four tracks has its own theme. You will be racing on a cylinder first, them the next course be racing on a wavy track. I personally like this. This is true futuristic racing.
A great unlockable for this game is the X cup. The X cup has a ton of random tracks. It will never show what track you will race on, you must see for yourself. Everything is randomly generated, the track design, obstacles, background, everything! I don't think I have ever seen two of the X cup tracks that look exactly alike.
I'm not big on multiplayer. F-Zero X has it, but it is just like any other multiplayer.
The music in this game is very intense and fast-paced. I always felt that a fast game (going at 860 kilometer per hour) needed fast paced music. Plus there are remixes of two tunes from the original F-Zero.
Another worthy addition is the Death race. In this, you are put on a completely straight path, and you must destroy all of the other vehicles to complete it. But sometimes you can mess up and fall of the tracks yourself.
This is one of the greatest racing games ever! I love everything about this game. It is definitely one of the best games on the N64. It is way better than any Mario Kart, Ridge Racer, or Gran Turismo game. While the graphics are sorely lacking, I can ignore that since the game is so fun to play. This is a must have for the N64.
Final Score = 9.6 out of 10
Fun Fact: The first course of the Joker Cup will be very familiar to Mario Kart 64 fans.

The Duke CMDA E-mail List
Note that this is a private list, so people cannot send random spam email to it. For this reason, you will not be able to post to it either.
Ever wonder who the Duke/UNC guy/gal is who you always say hi to at large group meetings (aka TCMF Saturday Meetings), but have no idea what his/her name is? You've probably asked this individual his/her name at least 3 times, but that long-term memory of yours is already filled with medical knowledge, and for some reason this new friend's name just won't stick. Well, Facebook is our answer to this issue (at least for now). If you're a member of Duke's CMDA, consider joining the "Duke CMDA" group. At the very least it will aid your leaders in placing a name with a face, and also give you a chance to learn some background info on other CMDA folks.

Jake Kiley getting looks from BCS programs
December, 2, 2010
By Roger Brown
The talent pool in New Hampshire is shallow when it comes to Division I football players, but college recruiters have found something they like in New Hampton. His name is Jake Kiley (Plymouth, N.H./New Hampton School), and he may be the best junior prospect in the state. Kiley, 6-foot-2 and 173 pounds, plays both quarterback and defensive back, but is being recruited primarily as a DB. He has taken unofficial visits to Connecticut and Penn State, and has been invited to Boston College's Junior Day this spring. Kiley guided New Hampton to a 7-2 record this season and was named his league's Most Valuable Player.

While it was overall good, you simply MUST see it to the end to truly love it. The animation was pretty good in this one, and seemed as good as most goofy cartoons. While a little out of date, the humor more than makes up for it. I would myself want to get a toy hammer that looked like a real hammer. I might also want to get a real hammer that looked like a toy (dang, is that one lucky clown). I kept thinking the guy looked like Tom Fulp, but it is probably more of a generic spokesman.

maybe next time you should use the toy hammer that looks like a real hammer instead of the real hammer that looks like a toy hammer XD XD btw don't take this seriously

Shorty, but sweety
While isn't the best animated work on NG, it's probably one of the funniest in the most basic and ironic facets. Bearing in mind that not everyone can animate, I give it a 10 for its short, but sweet, presentation that doesn't linger on the same joke for too long.

GAME CEO Lisa Morgan has pledged to spend £5 million on the retailer's increasingly successful web offerings this year.
In an interview with financial news site Cantos, Morgan revealed that FY online sales hit £58 million for the financial year ended January 31st, 2008.
The retailer revealed this morning that online year-on-year turnover and operating profit were up 147 per cent and 61 per cent respectively.
Morgan said:
"First and foremost, we're very focused on our multi-channel offer, and we've invested considerably in that over the last couple of years. We trade through three online brands: GAME, Gameplay and now Gamestation.
"We relaunched our GAME website in September last year and we saw some terrific results come from that. Not only did we see our customer conversion improve, but we saw it translate directly into performance in terms of revenues.
"All in all, we've seen our sales grow from £4 million in 2003 to £58 million in 2007. We certainly plan to invest in this area, and I think we will invest around £5 million in the current year."

John Howland came on the Mayflower as a servant to John Carver. He is best remembered for having fallen off the Mayflower during a mighty storm, as recorded by Bradford:
"In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; butit pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathomsunder water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water,and
then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth."
The early days for the first settlers were harsh, to the point of being lethal. The voyage across the Atlantic took much longer, and was much more difficult than the pilgrims, who were mostly Dutch, had anticipated. By the time they reachedthe New World, many were sick with scurvy, and several had already died. Onesuch Puritan image that fact has shattered deals with drinking alcohol. Sincewater had a tendency to stagnate on board ship, it was exchanged for beer, which was the primary source of fluids of the seafarers. Upon arrival in the New World, the settlers made a command decision that would forever change thecourse of the country. Having arrived north of their preferred destination ofVirginia, and faced with the fast approaching winter, the settlers decided to form their own government and make their own laws. The edict was called theMayflower Compact.
The voyage took 66 days across a less than friendly Atlantic, and once the "Saints" as they were called, arrived on the shores of the new world, it was another month before they dropped anchor in Plymouth harbor. For the first 3 days that followed, the pilgrims roamed the shores of Plymouth. But the harshest of times lay ahead. The winter of 1620-21 was an open one for New England, with little frost or snow, but miserable rain. Theywould have gotten along alright except for the "Great Sickness" . January andFebruary of 1621 were the worst months at Plymouth. On some days two or three died, and at other times there were only six or seven healthy people to care for all the others of the colony.
About half of the Mayflower passengers died by the arrival of spring. Three families had died. Only four bachelors remained alive, and of the 18 married women who crossed the ocean, only three survived.
It wasn't until March 16, 1621 that the colonists made anything but violent contact with the local Indians. On that day an Indian walked into the settlement, called out "Welcome Englishmen!" to the first man he encountered. The Indian was Samoset of the tribe that lived around Pemaquid Point. That part of the wilderness, which is today the state of Maine, had been frequented by English fishermen and Samoset had made friends with them and learned their language.
The first "Thanksgiving Feast" was probably celebrated around the middle of October, 1621.
John Howland was an active contributor to the Plymouth Colony. In 1633 he was an assistant to Governor Bradford, and in 1635 was appointed to aid the governor "to asesse men towards the charges of soldiers" for the Pequot War. (History of Duxbury...by Edward Windsor) Also, in 1635, he was a member of the Colony Court held at Plymouth at which time he was a party for Duxbury in a conference about uniting that church with the church of Plymouth.He was a Selectman of Plymouth and was Deputy to the General Court from 1652 to 1672. He was by that time 80 years of age and refused to allow his name to be submitted again. He was one of the original purchasers of Middleboro in 1661, a purchaser of Dartmouth in 1652, of Duxbury and of a number of New England towns.In the witch trial of Mary Ingham, John Howland was the presiding magistrate. Mary was acquitted and her accuser, Dinah Sylvester, was fined ¹5 and was whipped. That was the last of the witch trials in Plymouth Colony.

Mothering is working on an article on the topic of Empowering Girls and we would love your suggestions.
Our goal is to put together a helpful list of resources that strengthen and encourage girls in their goals. This may be a website, book, magazine, organization or other resource--as long as it gives girls and young women a positive view of themselves and their role in the world.
Please share your suggestions below and we will consider them for inclusion in the article.
For those of you interested, we will also be putting together an article on empowering resources for boys in the near future.
This thread will be shared through our social media networks.
This gorgeous photos was submitted by Mothering member Veritas Vitae. Thanks for sharing!

I think that 4-H does a great job of empowering young people in general but looking back, it's a great option for empowering girls. I participated in 4-H for over 10 years and ultimately became the president of my club. The participants were boys and girls but I never felt at a disadvantage or compared because of gender as I did in the classroom or in sports.
Women Who Run with Wolves by Clarissa S. Pinkola-Etes, a fabulous read! With fairy tales, folk lore and the rights of passages for the female kind. A bit more higher level reading, but I believe girls can be given the challenge.
Also, I love this one fashion blog called Advanced Style Blog, It follows the dressing up of Elder Women, or "the advanced set". Its beautiful to study older women so that we have our whole lives to look forward to. It seems that young girls and these women of the blog are both connected by playing dress up.
This website - A Mighty Girl - has books, toys, and other resources for "smart, confident and courageous girls." I found great things here for my grandsons, too...

Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls is a non-profit music and mentoring program that empowers girls and women through music education, volunteerism, and activities that foster self-respect, leadership skills, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
Moving Traditions
Working with Jewish teenagers at the most fragile time of their development is our mission. Moving Traditions' conviction is that teens long for an alternative set of values to guide them through their lives and that mentors who can access Jewish wisdom, folktale, and ritual can play a significant role in giving them that alternative. Great Jewish education is not about teaching people how to be more Jewish. It is about teaching people how to see the brokenness in our society, to see themselves as agents of change, and to work with others to make for a more just and compassionate world.
Black Girls Rock
Influential women from diverse industries engage mentees in positive discourses. Sessions expose participants to the stepping-stones for success via higher educational opportunities, strong work-ethic, discovering one's individual voice and becoming positive role models for our global community.
I work at a rock camp in my city, and there are Girls Rock Camps popping up all over the US, and as well as several in other countries. They can all be found here: http://www.girlsrockcamp.org/supporters/girls-rock-camp-alliance.
For the teen set, there are a lot of empowering/body positive articles here: http://rookiemag.com/

I will come back as I think of more...
What a great thread. Here's a couple of ideas from me. My main passion is empowering girls to realise that they can be scientists and/or get involved in science careers, so sorry for the bias towards that!
Science - It's a Girl Thing from the European Commission might be worth a mention. Link for the English version is http://science-girl-thing.eu/en (also available in many other European languages).
Also anything which involved Mae Jemison I think is incredibly empowering - for all girls, but especially girls of colour.
(e.g. http://teacher.scholastic.com/space/mae_jemison/index.htm)
My personal experience was that I found the Girl Guides (Girl Scouts) very empowering. Some time just with girls figuring out how to do everything for ourselves, camping, outdoors stuff etc.
Mother of two living in UK. Daughter (2007) born in USA, son (2010) born here. I'm pro natural birth, midwife care, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby wearing and a keen advocate of cloth diapering. I'm a full time working research scientist (physical sciences). Vaccines save lives.
As a general suggestion, check out the local universities and colleges for programs to encourage girls to enter the STEM fields. In middle school, DD attended a terrific program at the local engineering faculty. It was run by female faculty and grad students. They had tours of the labs and facilities, did some computer software design projects, made some jewelry with electronic circuits, and generally messed around and had fun. It was awesome.
Rights of Passage for Girls (there's a boys camp too)
For thousands of years societies have performed "Rites of Passage" initiation ceremonies. Mountain Wisdom Inc. has created a passage for girls to move into young womanhood.
The young girls will learn to respect themselves and others and to treat both with kindness. They will learn timeless ways and teachings of Native Americans to help them get in touch with the inner-self and their personal Spirit. Nature lessons are the foundation for these teachings. Lessons for living in balance with the natural world, paying attention to their environment, and successfully working as a team to meet one's needs, teaches a person about honor, respect and integrity.

Planting a tree or many trees is a fun and easy project that you can do with young children to older adults. Trees that you can plant will vary in size from seedlings to large full grown trees. Through NWF's Trees for Wildlife program, you will receive seedling trees (generally 1-3 years old). These trees do not require large equipment to plant but hand-tools that are readily available to most homeowners or from community tool sheds.
NWF's Tree Planting and Care Guide will provide a step by step instruction guide for determining the right tree, size and correct planting instructions.
A couple key items for you to think about when you wish to plant.
NWF specializes in planting native trees that will support the local wildlife and be more adapted to the location you wish to plant in. Although trees are either deciduous or confer - the species of trees can vary and some trees may be ornamental (look beautiful but provide little wildlife value).
If you are not familiar with native plants, you can either identify species through your local arborist, native plant society or NWF partner – Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Tree selection should include:
Selecting the right tree to plant and when to plant a tree is important aspect to ensuring the plant survives and thrives. As planting season for trees varies depending on where you live – a general rule of thumb is to plant trees when it is your late fall to early spring. For example for Spring: Virginia's planting season for trees in the spring starts in Mid-February to first of May, Florida's planting season is December to early March or North Dakota's is end of March to early June.
USDA hardiness zone map is a good resource to get you started. Please use the 2012 Hardiness zone map as it recently changed significantly. Hardiness zone map provides you with region or zone in which a particular plant can survive. Not all trees can be planted in the same area across the country. They are adapted to live in a particular location.
Trees like all living things need to be care for and tended to. Planting trees is the first step in helping to steward trees along their life. For each tree planted, at least one year of tender care must be given.
Caring for trees is a great opportunity to extend the learning process for youth. Whether you are teaching about character development or eco-system life cylces or health or history – caring for trees is a positive way for youth to take action.
Three tier care guide – snap shot
Watering a newly planted plant – tree or otherwise – is important. Water is the life force of trees by which it transmits it food and nutrients and helps us by taking cardon dioxiode to create oxygen. Trees need to be watered regular especially if planted late in the season.
Wildlife depend on trees but also can be their downfall in the first few years of life. Protecting trees from wildlife that may "nibble" on the tender trees for food is important part of caring for the trees. Ensure that you add both mulch and tree guards (LINK: around the trees and monitoring to see the guard is still secure.
Monitoring trees for water and wildlife are two of the ways you can help the tree. Watching the tree to see if there are any signs of stress, disease or poor nutrition are other ways. Creating a notebook to write down your observations is a great way to pass the tree care from one youth to another or even year to year. Don't forget to measure you tree yearly and look for new growth.
Learning about trees, what benefits trees provide, and how we use trees in our everyday lives are just a couple of the learning objectives the age-appropriate activity guides provide educators to discuss with their students. Whether you are leading a group of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts or 4-Hers or teaching in a classroom or working with your local church youth group – the activities provided in the guides will provide you with a comprehensive toolkit to engage your students.
Activities Guides are available for:
Groups (10+ students in a group)
Grades: k-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Mentors (One on One or modify to up to 5 in a group)
Grades: K-4, 5-8, 9-12
Activities guides are downloadable through the purchase of your tree kit. View sample activities >>
National Wildlife Federation for over 40 years has been providing award-winning materials to teachers and educators to wildlife, conservation and stewardship. You can continue your students education by using our resources as part of your classroom or youth group. We are continually adding to this list of available resources so check back.
Climate Change and Trees: NWF's educational webinar series -- are another way you can learn about how our programs can assist you in teaching about the environment with your youth at school or in the community.
NWF's Be Out There™ campaign provides activities that parents or groups can do whether you have 10 minutes or an hour to explore nature and the great outdoors. Help NWF achieve our 3 year goal to have 10 Million children spending an hour outdoors each day.

What is Spirulina? Spirulina is one of the blue-green algae; its color is due to the presence of both chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue) pigments in its cellular structure. Spirulina is a simple, one-celled form of algae that grows wild in warm, alkaline fresh bodies of water such as lakes and ponds.
The ability of Spirulina to grow in hot (32 to 45 degrees Celsius and can even survived in temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius) and alkaline environments ensures its hygienic status, as no other organisms can survive to pollute the waters in which this algae grows.
The name "spirulina" is derived from the Latin word for "helix" or "spiral"; denoting the physical configuration of the organism when it forms swirling, microscopic strands.
Available forms: capsules, tablets, flakes, and powders.
Dosage: The average intake for adults is 2,000 to 3,000 mg per day.
Nutrient Content of Spirulina: Spirulina has great nutritional value. Between 62% and 71% of the plant is comprised of amino acids, and all are the essential amino acids. Spirulina contains beta carotene and blend of the other carotenoids, as well as chlorophyll and the essential fatty acid GLA.
It's also said to be the world's richest source of vitamin B12. One important component is phycocyanin, a phytonutrient that gives spirulina its dark blue-green color (the dominant color in spirulina).
Health Benefits of Spirulina:
- Spirulina has high quality protein, in comparison; beef is only 22 percent protein.
- Spirulina can help satisfy appetite. Taking a heaping teaspoon of powder (about 5 grams), one hour before meal can help satisfy your body's appetite. It is not an appetite suppressant, and contains no drugs or chemicals that trick the body. It is simply super concentrated, easily digested natural nutrition.
- Spirulina contains a concentrated amount of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that the body uses to produce anti-inflammatory agents.
- Spirulina is an energy food. Older people really notice an energy boost after taking spirulina for a couple of days.
- Spirulina strengthens the immune system.
- Spirulina supports cardiovascular function and healthy cholesterol.
- Spirulina inhibits the infectious power of many viruses — including HIV, flu, mumps, measles, and herpes.
- Spirulina has been found to have significant positive effects on people suffering from type 2 diabetes.
- Spirulina has long been established to have cancer fighting ingredients.
- Spirulina helps clean and eliminate waste products from your liver, kidneys and blood. When the liver and kidneys are working more smoothly, everything else in the body works better, too.
- Spirulina has been shown to increase the presence of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidus because spirulina is a food for these friendly bacteria.
- Spirulina has been shown in animal studies to stimulate production of stem cells by the bone marrow. Stem cells are immature cells, which later mature into red and white blood cells.
- Spirulina is beneficial for healthy eyes and vision because it is rich in betacarotene.
- Spirulina's chlorophyll content can help soothe inflammation and normalize the secretion of digestive acids – this can help prevent constipation.
- Spirulina can help in treating those people who were exposed to radiation.
Spirulina Dosage: Scientific evidence suggests 2-5 grams a day bring significant health benefits. This is a teaspoon of powder or 6 to 20 tablets. Take it every day for best results.

Technical Article => Business => Google
Is Google still in China?
According to Tencent Tech, data from traffic statistics agency CNZZ shows that Google only ranks fifth in China's search engine market calculating by page views. Its market share is 2.13% in China. and although Baidu is still at the first place, its market share also declined and the its market share is less than 70%.
Overall, Google's market share in China drops continuously.
At the same time, Baidu also faces competition from other search engines, especially from new entrants Qihoo. Qihoo launched its own search engine in August last year, and its market share quickly rose to the second place. Last November, Qihoo CEO Hongyi Zhou anticipated that the company's market share would be 15% -20%, and this value is sufficient to challenge Baidu. In June, the search market share of Qihoo exceeded 15%.
Google announced to leave China in 2010, the reason why it chose to leave China is that it cannot accept the requirement of censorship of search results from Chinese government. Its market share in China declines is expected. Chinese people now can still access Google through google.com.hk. Actually compared to Baidu, many Chinese are still willing to use Google because it returns more accurate search results.
Hope that Google can come back to China in one day.

Everyone was getting them so we decided it was time we got one too. A digital Camera that is. We were also about to go on a two and a half week holiday and that would mean lots of films.
Being our first we didn't want anything too complicated. We had looked at them before but not understood half of the jargon so I went home and had a good search on the internet. Many sites will explain the details to you and it is useful to print this out and take it with you.
So armed with our info we set off to our local comet, without the children!, to have a good browse. After a good look, going through all the various specs, decided on the Toshiba PDRM25. It came with an 8mb smartmedia card and a 16mb one free, I think that's what swung it. I just love freebies. I can't remember exactly what we paid now but it was around average.
The camera comes with a really thick manual, and it's so tempting to ignore it, as it would takes ages to read. But once I did get around to reading it I found it very useful and very simple to follow.
In case you can't be bothered to read through the review here is a brief summary of it's features.
Weighs 230g (excluding batteries)
1.5'' LCD monitor
2.3 million pixels
3 x zooms and macro mode
Self Timer
Red eye reduction
Forced flash and Supressed flash.
Date/Time/Automatic calendar
Long Exposure Photography
Multi Image Photography
The accompanying manual is divided into 5 sections. Getting ready, Basic Photography, Playing back/Erasing Images, Other Applications and Additional Information. To start you only need to the first couple of sections, then you can try out the other features later when you have mastered it. Each section goes through the features of the camera so I'll use the manual to explain the camera to you.
Getting Ready.
This section starts by talking about the accessories you get, which are,
4xAA Batteries
Video Cable
Smart Media Card
USB cable
Lens Cap
Wrist Strap
CD Rom
It then explains what each part of the camera is and does with very clear pictures. It also explains what all the LCD pictures means. It continues by telling you how to insert the batteries, the Smart media card and how to attatch the wrist strap. All pretty basic but nice to have the info included.
Basic Photography.
This section literally takes you step by step through how to take a photograph with again good real life pictures. It explains how to use automatic settings or manually do it. You can set both the image size and quality. You have six choices, two for size, (1792 x 1200 pixels and 896 x 600 pixels) and three for quality (low, middle and high compression). The better the quality and bigger the size the more memory that will be used on the card. Depending on what you take photos for, the lowest settings are Ok for viewing on the PC but the highest are best if printing out. The zoom features are explained and also macro mode (for close up photography). This section also gives details on using the self timer and how and when to use the flash.
If you are not much of a reader you can stop here and get going on your new camera but it's worth reading this bit as it now goes on to explain Multi Image photography , where you can take 16 photos at 0.25 sec intervals and Long Exposure Photography for subjects that will take several seconds to photograph, for example fireworks. For the real enthusiasts you can now read up on the manual settings (changing the white balance, exposure compensation and bulb photography) I must admit I still haven't read this section as I have been more than happy with the automatic settings.
Playing Back/ Erasing Images.
By now most people have tossed the manual aside and are getting to grips trying out the new camera. But the card soon fills up and you need to know how to empty and view the pics you've taken. All this is explained here, and tells you how to view your pics on the cameras LCD screen either individually or as a slide show. Also how you can compress images to give more space or protect them if you don't want them deleted.
Other Applications.
Here you learn how to set the language and time and have sound on or off.
But most importantly it explains how to upload your images to PC using the CD provided (but other applications work) or view on your TV.
Additional Information.
This lists all the specifications, and tells you how many images you should get using various sized Media cards and settings. Also the usual and useful troubleshooting guide.
Well that's the camera. We have had it at five years now so lower than most on pixels and probably a bit heavier. But I like this feature and was handy when swapping from a heavy 35mm camera. It felt more natural. My 6 year old son has been using the camera for a couple of years now and has no problems using this camera and has tested it's robustness on many an occasion. Although compared to new ones the pixels aren't great, if on the highest setting the images are still excellent quality when printed out.
We have bought a 128mb card now which means we can store at least 3 weeks worth of photos without needing to delete any. So will not be rushing off to buy a new one as this has been excellent and never had any problems.
The software that comes with the camera is great also. It also you to adjust photos and also to print them out in a variety of layouts, even allowing you to pick individual photos from each album you have.
This is definitely a great quality camera and will be with us for a few more years yet.

What a coincidence. I was noticing a couple of die-hard leaves at the very top of a couple of our trees and thought I should take a picture. If they are still there tonight, I'll do just that.
The great leaf: forward!

Abang Jawawi, Dayang Norhayati (2006) A framework for component - based reuse for autonomous mobile robot software. PhD thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems.
PDF (Abstract)
PDF (1st Chapter)
PDF (References)
PDF (Table of Contents)
Applying software reuse to Embedded Real-Time (ERT) systems poses significant challenges to industrial software processes due to the resourceconstrained and real-time requirements of the systems. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) system is a class of ERT systems, hence, inherits the challenge of applying software reuse in general ERT systems. Furthermore, software reuse in AMR systems is challenged by the diversities in terms of robot physical size and shape, environmental interaction and implementation platform. Thus, it is foresee that component-based reuse will be the suitable way to promote software reuse in AMR systems with consideration to three AMR general requirements to be self-contained, platform-independence and real-time predictable. In this thesis, a framework for component-based reuse of AMR software has been developed to enable a systematic reuse through component-based software engineering. The aim of the framework is to outline the strategies for software reuse in software development of AMR applications. The developed framework consists of four main elements: AMR component-based analysis patterns, a modified component model, a componentbased timing analysis approach, and a component-oriented programming framework. The results of implementing the framework in developing software for real AMR show that the strategies and processes proposed in the framework can fulfill the three AMR general requirements. To quantify the effectiveness of the reuse approach in the developed framework, the component reusability and the amount of reuse were measured using software metrics. The measurement results show high component reusability on those interested components, and up to 74% of reuse rate was achieved on real AMR tested. The implementation results and software reuse measurements indicate that the developed framework promotes systematic reuse and reuse qualities.

Governor Andrew Cuomo's 2015-2016 Executive Budget, released on January 21st, contains proposals with both positive and negative impacts on domestic violence victims and victim service providers, which we have summarized below. We will be sending out position statements about many of these budget items and their impact on domestic violence victims and services providers in the days to come. This update includes an action plan to communicate with the legislature over throughout the budget process.
Key Elements of the Executive Budget Proposal Include:
As in past years, the TANF funding for non-residential domestic violence service providers has been eliminated. NYSCADV is strongly opposing this elimination and pushing for $6 million in TANF funding for non-residential services. Click here for the Memorandum of Strong Opposition, and don't forget to call your legislators!
The Title XX funding, earmarked for adult protective and domestic violence services, remains intact at $66 million.
The Hoyt Children's Trust Fund, allocated through an RFP process and used for a number of preventative services including domestic violence and elder abuse prevention, remains the same at $621,850.
The Flexible Fund for Family Services (FFFS) contains TANF money that can be used flexibly and with local discretion. Counties can use FFFS for a broad range of TANF related programs, including domestic violence screening and non-residential services. The 2015-2016 budget proposed a slight decrease from the 2014-2015 budget.
Civil legal services funding - we are working with our allies to make sure the funding is maintained or increased.
Domestic violence survivors were included in the list of eligible populations for a new $116 million statewide supportive housing program that will create 5,000 new supportive housing units.
The Governor has proposed a $50 million Nonprofit Infrastructure Capital Investment Program to make targeted investments in capital projects, with the goal of improving the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of eligible nonprofit human services organizations that provide direct services to New Yorkers.
The Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence saw a continuation in funding for the state domestic and sexual violence hotline, research, evaluation, training, technical assistance, and demonstration projects.
The budget proposes increased funding for the Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) by $4.5 million.
The Governor proposes another increase of the minimum wage to $11.50 in New York City and $10.50 in the remainder of the state, effective December 31, 2016.
The Governor proposed a Statewide Campus Prevention and Response Policy for all colleges and universities. The policy requires that all public and private colleges and universities in New York State institute the sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking prevention and response policy newly adopted by the SUNY system. NYSCADV is currently reviewing the proposal and will be releasing a position statement soon.
The mandatory arrest law was extended to 2017.
The Executive Budget includes a proposal requiring police departments to report the number of arrests made for misdemeanors and non-criminal violations.
The Governor has also proposed limiting immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony before a grand jury. We are working with our allies to analyze the potential effects such a bill might have on domestic violence victims involved in the criminal justice system.
It is important for us to hear from you directly about your thoughts on the budget, so please do not hesitate to contact us at 518-482-5465 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Schedule an In-District Meeting or Event - Week of February 16, 2015
The legislature is not in session the week of February 16th. Schedule an appointment to meet with your legislators in their district office or, better yet, invite them to visit your non-residential program or administrative office so they can see firsthand the amazing services offered by local domestic violence service providers. Need help coming up with ideas for an event like this? Contact us by phone at 518-482-5465 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Submit, Watch or Review the Testimony Provided at Public Hearings - February 4th, 5th & 26th
The Legislature is holding joint public hearings to learn more about the impact that the budget has on constituents. Follow this link to find the contact information for submitting written testimony. NYSCADV will be submitting testimony regarding our positions on the budget. If you are interested in submitting written testimony, it must be submitted within 5 days before or 7 days after the public hearing. Contact NYSCADV if you would like tips for drafting testimony. The following three are relevant to victims of domestic violence and local domestic violence service providers:
Human Services - Wednesday, February 4, 2015, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM. This is the hearing regarding TANF Non-Res funding. (Deadline for submitting written testimony: February 11, 2015)
Housing - Thursday, February 5, 2015, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM (Deadline for submitting written testimony: February 12, 2015)
Public Protection - Thursday, February 26, 2015, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Deadline for submitting written testimony - March 5, 2015)
Update on Budget Advocacy Day - Make the Budget Count for Survivors! - March 3rd, 2015
NYSCADV's Budget Advocacy Day was originally scheduled for February 10th. Due to changes in leadership within the New York State Assembly, we have re-scheduled the day in early March.
On March 3rd, we will be hosting a mobile statewide budget advocacy day - an opportunity for staff members of domestic violence service providers from across the state to call, fax, and email legislators letting them know about the specific needs of domestic violence victims in our state. We will also be using social media to spread the message, and ask programs to join us in this effort. Also, we encourage survivors to contact their elected officials to let them know how important these issues are. We will be sending out detailed information about the campaign in the days to come. This will include sample call dialogues, emails, letters and social media posts. NYSCADV staff and board members will be scheduling in person meetings with key legislators and officials within the Executive Chamber that same day. Our hope is that the legislature and Governor's Office hear a resounding message from every domestic violence program in New York State - that they must make the budget count for survivors of domestic violence!

Personal Creations offers a wide variety of personalized gifts and home decor for everyone including gifts for him, gifts for her, personalized gifts for grandparents, gifts for kids, Christmas ornaments, and even personalized stockings. I was recently provided with a Personal Creations gift code and the opportunity to browse their website and pick out product to review.
There are so many products to choose from but I really wanted new Christmas stockings for Brayden and Trevor so off to their stocking section I went. I was honestly surprised at the amount of stocking they offer. They have Sesame Street characters, wedding stockings, rustic hunting stockings, baby's first Christmas, and even pet stockings... Talk about variety!
I decided on these really cute personalized Big Face Jingle Bell Stockings for $17.99 each. These particular stockings feature 3D detail, a metal jingle bell, FREE personalization, and are available in six different characters. I thought that the penguin and snowman were the cutest so I got one of each and personalized them with my boys' names.
I'm very pleased with the ease of ordering and I was even more pleased with how long it took for my stockings to arrive. The estimated delivery time was about three weeks and my stockings arrived in less than two! The stockings are absolutely adorable and are going to look perfect hanging on our fireplace this holiday season.
Whether you're looking for personalized gifts or home decor, Personal Creations is definitely something you need to check out this holiday season.

Has Your Tot Been Sick Yet This Winter?
It just wouldn't be Winter without colds, coughs, and sniffles. And it seems like when it rains, it pours for one of my co-workers.

My own kids spent Thanksgiving weekend wrapped up in blankets fighting viruses.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- 3D Systems (DDD) rose Wednesday following the announcement of a new 3D food printer and a boosted price target from Brean Capital.
Shares of 3D Systems were gaining 3.2% to $95.86 after Brean Capital raised its 12-month price target for the 3D printing company to $102 from $86, The maintaining a "buy" rating.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, 3D systems announced a new line of 3D food printers called the ChefJet. The new printers can print 3D sugar sculptures using the same technology as traditional 3D printers. 3D Systems will create two versions of the ChefJet: a consumer model that can only print one color at a time, and the more expensive ChefJet Pro 3D which can print multicolored 3D sugar sculptures.
TheStreet Ratings team rates 3D SYSTEMS CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate 3D SYSTEMS CORP (DDD) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, growth in earnings per share, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity."

Cole signs new four-year deal with Chelsea
Ashley Cole has joined skipper John Terry in committing his long term future to Chelsea by signing an extended four-year contract.
The left-back had been tipped to follow Terry's lead after he put pen to paper on a new deal himself on Monday. The England international joined the Blues from Arsenal three years ago.
After a slow start to his career at Stamford Bridge he is now back to the kind of form which made him one of the best left-backs in the world while with the Gunners. And Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti believes the "best is yet to come'' from the 28-year-old.
Ancelotti said: "I am very happy that Ashley has committed himself to Chelsea. He is one of the best left-backs in the world but I believe his best is yet to come. I am very pleased that will happen in a Chelsea shirt.''
A first choice selection for Carlo Ancelotti and England coach Fabio Capello, Cole is now tied to the club for the best years of his career.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 2011/11/21 - Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora (Tenerife) won two categories at the TUI Awards, which are given to hotels with the best services - Solmelia.com.
For over 50 years, Gran Meliá hotels have been based on the values of traditional luxury with cutting-edge style through a unique service concept known as the Red Glove Service, a culture of dedication to its guests; and hotels and resorts with their own unique personalities integrated with the local culture and committed to their surroundings. These brand values have been recognised with various awards this month.
Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora (Tenerife) won two categories at the TUI Awards, which are given to hotels with the best services. The hotel received the Gold Award for Service Excellence awarded by the TUI UK headquarters and the Overall Winner as One of the Best Resorts from TUI Nordic. Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora combines some of the most beautiful natural elements of the Canary Islands: with the Atlantic Ocean at its doors, the lean silhouette of La Gomera ahead and the majestic figure of El Teide behind. The building is in perfect harmony with its surroundings and inside offers a range of luxury services and facilities designed to meet the standards of the most demanding travellers. A highlight is its pool in the shape of a lake that is 260 metres long and covers an area of 5,000 m2; an "inland sea" with a 125m-long infinity pool on La Gomera island.
The Gran Meliá Colón hotel (Seville) also picked up one of the Hotel Initiative Awards in the Best Renovation category. The awards of the Curt Ediciones Group pay tribute to hotels and hoteliers for innovations introduced in a sector that is constantly on the move and that is continuously trying to reinvent itself and surprise people. The integral refurbishment project led by the architect Álvaro Sans involved completely renovating the hotel, combining urban luxury, art and tradition. The building is classified as a monument and embodies a style that was at its height in the early 20th century. For this reason, Sans not only kept the original facade but also the central dome that illuminates the lobby, ground floor and stairs, and which pervades the whole atmosphere.
Lastly, Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts was also recognised at the Condé Nast Johansen Annual Excellence Awards held in London. The Gran Meliá Don Pepe (Marbella) and Gran Meliá Colón (Seville) were nominated in the categories of Most Excellent Waterside and Most Excellent City Hotel, respectively. The nominees are chosen according to the criteria that represent the highest standards and the best value for money in luxury accommodation.

SC Speaker Slammed For Canceling Session
Embattled S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell – already facing a grand jury investigation into his multiple abuses of power – is now being accused of manipulating his chamber's schedule to support his favored candidate in the state's top judicial race.
Harrell called off this week's legislative session in Columbia, S.C. due to the threat of winter weather headed for the Palmetto State.
That decision prompted S.C. Rep. Todd Rutherford (D-Columbia) to call Harrell out … accusing him of using the storm as an excuse to buy time for his crony S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal, who is locked in a furious battle with associate justice Costa Pleicones.
Lawmakers elect judges in South Carolina, an infinitely corrupt arrangement that is rearing its ugly head in this race … and then some.
According to Rutherford, Toal is losing the race … and Harrell's cancellation of session gives him an extra week to work the phones on Toal's behalf.
"I remember in 1998 being in the State House when there was a tornado on the front lawn and we didn't blink an eye," Rutherford told The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper. "Who cancels session because of snow the day before we are actually supposed to come?"
Harrell's spokesman says the Speaker's decision has nothing to do with politics.
If that's true, there's a first time for everything we suppose …
As noted previously, we don't especially care who wins this race …
Who does? J. Christian Adams, a former attorney in the S.C. Secretary of State's office who now writes the Rule of Law blog for PJ Media.
"It's time for South Carolina Chief Justice Toal to at last retire and let air breathe into the South Carolina judiciary," Adams writes, reciting a litany of Toal's abuses of power.
At one point he compares her to former Louisiana Gov. Huey P. Long, one of the most corrupt liberal politicians in American history.
"Whether the GOP in South Carolina will endorse more of the same is the question before the legislature," Adams adds. "One thing is for sure – it's time for Jean Toal's long career, first as a Democrat in the Legislature, then as a Supreme Court Justice, to end in retirement."

by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD
From Simply Vegan 5th Edition
Summary: The requirement for vitamin B12 is very low, but it is essential. Non-animal sources include Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula or T-6635+ nutritional yeast (a little less than 1 Tablespoon supplies the adult RDA) and vitamin B12 fortified soy milk. It is especially important for pregnant and lactating women, infants, and children to have reliable sources of vitamin B12 in their diets.
Vitamin B12 is needed for cell division and blood formation. Neither plants nor animals make vitamin B12. Bacteria are responsible for producing vitamin B12. Animals get their vitamin B12 from eating foods contaminated with vitamin B12 and then the animal becomes a source of vitamin B12. Plant foods do not contain vitamin B12 except when they are contaminated by microorganisms or have vitamin B12 added to them. Thus, vegans need to look to fortified foods or supplements to get vitamin B12 in their diet. Although recommendations for vitamin B12 are very small, a vitamin B12 deficiency is a very serious problem leading ultimately to irreversible nerve damage. Prudent vegans will include sources of vitamin B12 in their diets. Vitamin B12 is especially important in pregnancy and lactation and for infants and children.
A number of vegan products have been fortified with vitamin B12. One brand of nutritional yeast, Red Star T-6635+, has been tested and shown to contain active vitamin B12. This brand of yeast is often labeled as Vegetarian Support Formula with or without T-6635+ in parentheses following this name. It is a reliable source of vitamin B12. Nutritional yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a food yeast, grown on a molasses solution, which comes as yellow flakes or powder. It has a cheesy taste. Nutritional yeast is different from brewer's yeast or torula yeast. Those sensitive to other yeasts can often use it.
The RDA for adults for vitamin B12 is 2.4 micrograms daily (1). About 2 rounded teaspoons of large flake Vegetarian Support Formula (Red Star T-6635+) nutritional yeast provides the recommended amount of vitamin B12 for adults (2). A number of the recipes in this book contain nutritional yeast.
Other sources of vitamin B12 are vitamin B12 fortified soy milk, vitamin B12 fortified meat analogues (food made from wheat gluten or soybeans to resemble meat, poultry, or fish), vitamin B12-fortified energy bars, and vitamin B12 supplements. There are vitamin supplements that do not contain animal products. We recommend checking the label of your favorite product since manufacturers have been known to stop including vitamin B12.
Vegans who choose to use a vitamin B12 supplement, either as a single supplement or in a multivitamin should use supplements regularly. Even though a supplement may contain many times the recommended level of vitamin B12, when vitamin B12 intake is high, not as much appears to be absorbed. This means in order to meet your needs, you should take a daily vitamin B12 supplement of 25-100 micrograms or a twice weekly vitamin B12 supplement of 1000 micrograms (3).
We store between 2 and 5 milligrams of vitamin B12 and only excrete a very small fraction of this each day. Nevertheless, over time, vitamin B12 deficiency can develop if stores are not replenished with vitamin B12 from the diet or from supplements. Although bacteria in the large intestine of humans do produce vitamin B12, this vitamin B12 does not appear to be absorbed (4) and is not adequate to prevent a vitamin B12 deficiency (5). Although some vegans may get vitamin B12 from inadequate hand washing, this is not a reliable vitamin B12 source.
Tempeh, miso, sea vegetables, and other plant foods are sometimes reported to contain vitamin B12. These products, however, are not reliable sources of the vitamin. The standard method for measuring vitamin B12 in foods measures both active and inactive forms of vitamin B12. The inactive form (also called analogues) actually interferes with normal vitamin B12 absorption and metabolism (6). When only active vitamin B12 is measured, plant foods including fermented soyfoods and sea vegetables do not contain significant amounts of active vitamin B12 (7).
Very small amounts of vitamin B12 have been found in plants grown in soil treated with manure (8). It is not clear whether this vitamin B12 is the active form or the inactive analogue. In any case, the amounts are so small that more than 23 cups of organically grown spinach would have to be eaten every day in order to meet the adult RDA for vitamin B12 (8,9).

Who is not Poor? Proposing a Higher International Standard for Poverty
Poverty reduction is now, and quite properly should remain, the primary objective of the World Bank. But, when the World Bank dreams of a world free of poverty—what should it be dreaming? I argue in this essay that the dream should be a bold one, that treats citizens of all nations equally in defining poverty, and that sets a high standard for what eliminating poverty will mean for human well-being. I propose a new standard for global income poverty for the World Bank's use. This poverty line is the weighted average of the poverty lines declared by its shareholders, where the declared poverty line is no lower than the country uses for its own citizens. I show this will imply a poverty line of around U.S.$15 a day in current purchasing power adjusted currency units—about ten times higher than the existing standard.

Fairview police are continuing to search for thieves who recently struck multiple area churches last week.
Police said all of the burglaries occurred overnight on Sunday, March 18 into the morning hours of Monday, March 19.
Among the churches targeted was Fairview Church of Christ.
Pastor Gipson Baucum told Nashville's News 2 the suspects broke into his church late last Sunday night.
"Nobody is here Sunday nights. Services have ended and everyone has gone home. The building is vacant," he explained.
According to Pastor Baucum the burglars got away with several electronic devices including a laptop computer, hard drive and video camera.
Police told Nashville's News 2 they believe the group of burglars first attempted to get in the church though the front door where glass was cracked and a side entrance where it appears as if a tool was used to chisel around the lock.
In addition to burglarizing Fairview Church of Christ, the thieves also smashed in the door of a nearby church where the local Boys and Girls Club meets.
Authorities said the thieves only took electronic devices from the after school program.
Police added that the doors of First Baptist Church of Fairview were also damaged but officials with the church said no items were taken.
"Church [burglaries] are not common at all. We have business and home burglaries, but it's rare to have a church broke into," Fairview Police Chief Terry Harris said.
Police are continuing to investigate the burglaries and said the suspects will face a number of charges including breaking and entering among others.
Anyone with information on the crimes are urged to contact Williamson County Crime Stoppers at 615-794-4000.
