With such a wide variety of employment opportunities available in the Quad Cities alone, Ambrose staff, students and alumni continue to find ways to develop partnerships with area businesses to give you both an outstanding educational experience and the tools you will need to land the job of your dreams right out of school.
Each year, Ambrose partners with "that other school" across the river (our good friends at Augustana College) to introduce employers to the diverse and talented prospects on our campuses and to help our students make informed decisions for future success. Two regularly scheduled career fairs feature full-time, part-time and internship opportunities for both students and alumni of the two schools.
While far from a conclusive list, here's just a sample of some of the businesses and organizations that recruit and hire on the Ambrose campus:

The research was the joint project of Diana Cassady, associate professor of public health sciences at UC Davis, and Jennifer Culp, Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program training coordinator. The duo analyzed the restaurant, beverage and food websites advertised on the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings between August 2006 and March 2007.
Close to one-third of the advertising that included websites was for food. Eighty-four percent of the food websites advertised included advergames.
"I was astounded by how often logos or actual food products were integrated into the games," Culp was quoted in a UC Davis Health System press release. "For example, some games used candy or cereal as game pieces. In others, a special code that was only available by purchasing a particular cereal was necessary to advance to higher game levels."
In response to the research report, Stroller Derby blogger Carolyn Castiglia wrote about an online game featuring Pop-Tarts.
"It's a memory game, filled with sparkly, sprinkle-covered Pop-Tarts, topped with a huge ad that says in large, neon print, 'LESS SUGAR. SA-WEET!' Castiglia wrote.
The researchers believe government should step in and set advertising requirements for food companies that target children.
"We can't risk having another generation of youngsters at high risk for the long-term chronic diseases linked to unhealthy eating," Cassady was quoted.

7-year-old is one of Oregon's youngest medical marijuana patients
Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:45:33 GMT —
A 7-year-old girl suffering from leukemia has become one of Oregon's youngest medical marijuana patients.
Mykayla Comstock's mother credits the drug with helping put the cancer into remission.
But her father, worried about the effects of the drug on her brain development, alerted child welfare officials to the treatment. Mykayla was diagnosed with leukemia last spring and the marijuana eases the effects of chemotherapy, according to her mother.
According to The Oregonian, the girl takes a gram of cannabis oil daily.
"First you get hungry," Mykayla told the paper. "Then you get really funny, and then you get tired."
Her mother, Erin Purchase, 25, administers Mykayla's cannabis with the help of her boyfriend. Mykayla's mother credits the drug for the leukemia's remission. "As a mother, I am going to try anything before she can potentially fall on the other side," said Erin Purchase, 25, who administers Mykayla's cannabis together with her boyfriend.
Mykayla's father, who is divorced from the girl's mother and lives in North Dakota, contacted child welfare officials, police and her oncologist. Jesse Comstock said his concerns were prompted by a visit with Mykayla in August.
"She was stoned out of her mind," said Comstock, 26. "All she wanted to do was lay on the bed and play video games."
Comstock pays child support to Purchase and covers Mykayla's health insurance, the paper reported. Oregon law requires no monitoring of a child's medical marijuana use by a pediatrician.
We're asking Facebook fans this morning if minors should be allowed to participate in the medical marijuana program? Should there be an age limit?Chime in now!

Stylist has enlisted author, self-confessed bookworm and contributing editor at The Bookseller Cathy Rentzenbrink to whittle down 2016's book releases to the 10 titles to look out for this year.
2016 is an absolute corker of a year already and I was hard pressed to narrow down the novels I've enjoyed to these ten. There's love of all types here.
Devotion by Louisa Young and Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave are love stories set against the backdrop of war. Anna Hope gives us a romance in an asylum in The Ballroom. What Belongs to You by Garth Greenwell is a study in erotic obsession and Maggie O'Farrell's This Must Be The Place shows us a couple in crisis.
There's fun to be had in Eligible, Curtis Sittenfield's retelling of Pride and Prejudice and heartbreak in Kit de Waal's My Name is Leon. They could not be more different in tone and style, but The Girls by Emma Cline and Not Working by Lisa Owens are both about young women trying to work out how to be alive in the world. And my last word for The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry, a joyous and beguiling book that wrapped itself around me rather like its eponymous monster. She's an astonishing writer and I look forward to her winning the Man Booker Prize one day.
Happy reading.

"We reported solid fourth quarter and fiscal year results in what continues to be a volatile environment for our clients," stated Ted A Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of the Hackett Group, Inc. "As we look back at the year, we are especially proud of our ability to return a significant amount of capital to our shareholders through a $55 million share repurchase tender offer and our recently initiated annual dividend which we declared and paid prior to year end. As we look forward, we continue to believe that our unique intellectual capital and expanding brand permission coupled with our terrific talent bodes well for our future prospects."Based on the current economic outlook, the Company estimates total revenue for the first quarter of 2013 to be in the range of $55.0 million to $57.0 million, and estimates pro forma diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.11. This guidance excludes the operating results of our Oracle ERP implementation practice which we agreed to sell on February 15, 2013. Other Highlights Annual Dividend Program - In December 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved the initiation of an annual cash dividend program in the amount of $0.10 per share, which is intended to be paid annually. The first dividend was paid on December 28, 2012, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 20, 2012. Enterprise Key Issues Research - A new Enterprise Key Issues study from The Hackett Group found that for 2013, the new "borderless" business environment will present the greatest opportunities to companies in IT, finance, HR and other business services areas, as companies strive to reduce costs and meet aggressive revenue projections. The research identified new opportunities for companies to roll out a flexible, virtual, data-enabled model for service delivery. Companies are also continuing to dramatically accelerate their use of Global Business Services (GBS) operations, an evolution beyond shared services which integrates and consolidates multiple business functions. World-Class HR Profile - New Book of Numbers ™ research from The Hackett Group found that world-class HR organizations operate at 27% lower cost per employee than typical companies and also utilize 24% fewer staff, while still achieving higher effectiveness. The Hackett Group's research detailed three important elements of HR strategy that drive operational excellence at world-class HR organizations: an emphasis on enhancing HR's operational excellence and helping the company achieve its strategic goals; a systematic integrated approach to talent management; and an ability to create strong, strategic working relationships with the business. Year-End Gamesmanship Research - REL, a division of The Hackett Group, issued research detailing how many large U.S. companies continue to try to "game the system" at year-end, artificially improving their balance sheets by manipulating receivables, payables, and inventory. The study found that their efforts do have a positive impact in the fourth quarter. However, these companies pay a harsh price in the first quarter, when working capital bounces back to even worse levels than before. Cash Flow Forecasting Study Launch - REL Consulting, a division of The Hackett Group, launched a new performance study designed to help companies compare their cash forecasting practices with top performers. Forecasting cash positions and cash needs continues to be an issue for most organizations. Given the current volatility and uncertainty in the markets, it becomes all the more important for companies to forecast their cash requirements as accurately as possible. By participating in REL's newly-launched Operating Cash Flow Forecasting study, companies can find out how their performance in forecasting operating cash flow compares with other organizations. On Tuesday, February 19, 2013, senior management will discuss fourth quarter results in a conference call at 5:00 P.M. ET.

What Are the Side Effects of Gallbladder Removal?
The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ connected to both the liver and the small intestine. Although important for digestion, the gallbladder is a non-essential organ. This means that some gallbladder complications can be effectively cured through removal without compromising body function. In the absence of the gallbladder, the bile duct enlarges to take on the organ's bile-storing role. Removal of the gallbladder, or cholescystectomy, is performed two ways. In an open cholecystectomy, the organ is removed via a single large incision. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive, requiring four small incisions for removal. Recovery time depends on the patient and the method of removal. The same is true for occurrence of side effects of gallbladder removal.
Pain and Fatigue
Weakness and abdominal tenderness are common after a gallbladder removal. According to MayoClinic.com, recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed and the health of the patient. Open surgery may take as long as a week to heal, whereas a laparoscopic cholecystectomy may only require a few days.
Nausea and Vomiting
Patients who undergo both open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy often experience nausea and vomiting soon after surgery. This is usually due to the anesthesia. These symptoms may be treated with injections and anti-nausea medications. If vomiting persists, the surgeon should be notified, according to the American College of Surgeons.
Diarrhea and Constipation
Medications given after surgery may cause diarrhea and constipation. Increased fiber can aid with these issues. If diarrhea lasts longer than three days, the American College of Surgeons suggests calling a doctor.
Long-term Side Effects
According to "Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology," nearly half of patients experience digestive problems a year following cholecystectomy. The cause of reported heartburn, nausea and diarrhea, however, is unclear. MayoClinic.com states symptoms may be related to increased bile secretion which can produce undesirable effects.
Eliminating or reducing caffeine, dairy foods and highly sweet, fatty or fried foods from the diet may be beneficial as they can exacerbate digestive problems. If symptoms persist, medications prescribed by a doctor, or nutrition therapy provided by a dietitian, may provide relief.

Shoppers Rush Grocery Stores for Last-Minute Thanksgiving Preps
The holiday rush is not only for the roads, grocery stores are also jam packed as Thanksgiving meals draw near.
Shoppers crammed into the Market District grocery store, located in Upper Arlington.
The atmosphere was described as "festive," as last minute shoppers searched through aisles for family favorites.
The rush, despite the fact that the cost of Thanksgiving dinner is up just about one percent this year, $50.99 for a complete turkey dinner for a family of 10.
The Farm Bureau said that the cost of stuffing, bread and rolls has gone up while the price of turkey, potatoes and cranberries is down. Most shoppers we talked to say they spent more at the checkout on their thanksgiving staples this year.
Market District's doors will be open until 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Two pilots and the wreckage of a Turkish military plane downed by Syria in international airspace over the Eastern Mediterranean have yet to be found, Turkish General Staff has said.
In a statement on Thursday the General Staff said search and rescue teams had swept an area of over 1,600 square sea miles only to recover pieces of military equipment pilots used and chunks of the downed RF4 military reconnaissance plane.
The statement said the search and rescue efforts were still underway and they deployed a frigate, a gunboat, a patrol boat, two coast guard boats, a plane and four helicopters as well as a hydrographic vessels with the Turkish Naval Forces.
The statement also said the search zone had an average depth of 1,260 meters.
The unarmed Turkish plane was shot down by Syria while on a training and test mission last Friday in the international airspace after unintentionally strayed into Syrian airspace before it was quickly warned by Turkish authorities to leave.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation amid the continuing violence in Syria.
Turkey said the Syrian act constituted a violation of international law and that Ankara would take "every necessary measure."
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said rules of military engagement of the Turkish Armed Forces had been revised in the face of the incident, adding, "any Syrian military element approaching the Turkish border from Syria will be considered as a military threat and dealt with accordingly."

Re: Fly Line conditioner ?
If you have a premium line from the well known manufacturers you may not need lube juice at all like automotive stuff, kitchen products or even, gasp, line treatments made for fly lines by fly line manufacturers.
The slick coating of a good many modern lines goes all the way to the core. SA (3M) and Rio make line treating pads that remove a microscopic layer of coating and bring a fresh new finish to the surface. Being a dry surface it won't attract gunk and amplify the problem of getting your line dirty.
For real skanky lines mild bar soap (not detergent) then the pads mentioned above. For extremely funky lines all the above using the bar soap on a Magic Eraser and then your line treatment of choice.
For quick, on the water treatment the SA dressing works great. For a more durable and less wet yet VERY slick treatment it's hard to beat Rio Agent X or Glide. It does indeed take a bit more effort and time to do it right but it really works and lasts quite a while. What's that they say... "Good things take time?"
I have Zip Cast too but am less than impressed with it. It seems to come off as easily as it goes on and it cleans about the same as plain water in my tests. For all I know it could be just diluted Armorall rebottled. They are both water soluable from what I've witnessed.
I refuse to use anything on my fly lines that isn't made specifically for fly line material and the environment they're used in. I've yet to have a fly line develop surface cracks but have seen quite a few lines full of cracks on other folks reels.
If the cost of a real line dressing is an issue, you're probably in the wrong sport!

The WANGANUI departed London on 7 August, 1880 and arrived in Auckland on 7 November, 1880, with Captain W Watt in command.
Transcribed from the New Zealand Herald, 8 November 1880, Page 4
The New Zealand Shipping Company's fine ship Wanganui, 1077 tons, cast anchor for the first time in Auckland harbour yesterday evening, at five o'clock, after an uneventful passage of eighty-nine days land to land. The Wanganui is almost a new vessel having been built in 1877 by Messrs A. Stephens, of Glasgow. This however, is her fifth trip, she having been twice to Lyttelton and twice to Dunedin. Her master, Captain Watts, who has been in command since the vessel was launched, is by no means a stranger in Auckland, he having been here on two occasions, the last being some eight years ago, when he came in charge of the Celestial Queen. The chief officer, Mr. Bare, has also been to Auckland before. In 1874 he came as second officer of the Waikato, but visited the port on several occasions previously, being one of Captain Ashby's protégés. The steward, Mr. William Cunningham, has held that position in the vessel for four voyages, and is well known in southern ports. The surgeon-superintendent, Dr. Dunkley, has repeatedly visited the colony as ships surgeon. He was unsparing in his efforts to instruct and amuse the immigrants under his charge, of whom there were about 150. These arrive in excellent health. We believe we are justified in stating that a cleaner ship never entered the harbour, and her condition reflects the greatest credit on those in charge. Captain Watt's popularity with the passengers is established by the fact that he received two testimonials, one from the men and the other from the women, to the effect that he had been careful, kindly, and courteous and that he had done everything in his power for their comfort, he had paid every attention to the sick. The Wanganui brings some cabin passengers in her sumptuously furnished and elegantly fitted up saloon. Mr. Bene, chief officer, furnishes the following report of the voyage:— Left the S.W. Dock on July 31, and proceeded to Greenhithe, where the compasses were adjusted, and departed on the following day, Plymouth being reached on August 3. Emigrants were embarked and the voyage resumed on the 7th, the weather being thick and dirty and the winds light S.W. On the 9th a light N.W. breeze set in, which carried the trades. Those were met with 30' N., but proved very light. Passed to the eastward of Madeira, sighting the Deserters. Lost the N.E. trades in 16΄N. Thence to 2' N. experienced very unsteady S.W. monsoons; there the S.E. trades were picked up. These were moderate, and carried to 23΄S. To Tristam d'Acunha W.N.W. winds prevailed, that island being passed on September 25. The meridian of Greenwich was passed on the 28th, on the fortieth parallel, and the meridian of the Cape was crossed on October 1. Thence to the Leuwin moderate S.W. winds were experienced, after which fresh N.N.W, breezes carried to Tasmania, off which place baffling winds were experienced for three or four days. Thence a nice N.W. wind curried to the Three Kings, which were sighted at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Cape Brett was passed at 10 a.m. of Saturday, but fine weather being dirty the ship was hove-to till midnight, when, the weather clearing up, sail was again made, and the Barrier was passed at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning. Pilot Sainty boarded the vessel off Tiritiri at 10 o'clock a.m., and the anchor was dropped off the Queen-street Wharf at 5 p.m.

If you had asked me to name the brands from which Marc by Marc Jacobs was likely to take handbag inspiration, Valentino wouldn't have even been on my list. I like both brands' work, in general, but their aesthetics are so utterly divergent that one borrowing from the other would seem to ignore both's target customers. The team at MbMJ clearly disagrees with me, though, because the Marc by Marc Jacobs Katie Crossbody Bag owes an obvious design debt to its more expensive predecessor, the Valentino VaVa Voom Flap Bag. Because of the strong resemblance and divergent price tags, the bags are our latest Look for Less.
As is generally the case with two similar handbags with very different price points, the Valentino version, which rings up at a spendy $1845 via Neiman Marcus, has much more interesting details. The chain strap and handle attachment are much more intricate and delicate-looking, the exterior studs are a strong brand statement, the leather is buffed to perfection. Not only that, but on a structural level, the Valentino wins – it boasts several roomy interior compartments for maximum organization, whereas the Marc version has just one, and apparently no patch pockets or zipper pouches. At $328 via Neiman Marcus, though, those imperfections might be a little less difficult to swallow.
What say you? Which bag do you prefer?
Valentino VaVaVoom Shoulder Bag, $1845 via Neiman Marcus
Marc by Marc Jacobs Katie Crossbody Bag, $328 via Neiman Marcus

Re: orange aliens invasion
I definitely agree with the TV influence statement.
I was fishing the Broadhead about two weeks ago; it was clearly blown out from all the rain that we've had in the East over the past month (we're 3 inches over for rain in the month of June - but still behind for the year). Anyway, I was fishing deep with a double nymph rig in the tannic water and getting some good sized browns/rainbows, when all of a sudden 37 kayaks (yes, I counted them as they went by) appeared at the top of the falls section where I was fishing. Normally, those falls would have turned back most kayakers, but with the blown-out condtions, the vertical drop was only about 15 ft. and that was, apparently, fair game for this throng. About 20 % of them ended up upside down at the bottom of the falls and had to be righted by one of the instructors. The noise, the yelling, and the cheering were almost loud enough so that you couldn't hear the falls!.
Most of them waved as they past by where I was fishing and some of them evey said "sorry". But, overall, it was a real bummer. And that was the end of that day's fishing. First time I've ever seen it on the Broadhead. I hope it's the last!

USB mounting problem (solution)
### In case anyone has a similar problem
I am always able to successfully mount a USB device via KDE automounting, using the "mount" command, or using the "pmount command" the first attempt after system boot.
I've got the /etc/fstab written correctly, and everything works as it should for the first mounting after bootup.
However, on one of my systems, subsequent mounting of a USB device fails:
In the KDE environment, nothing happens.
via "(p)mount" I get the following error:
"mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist"
I'm certain that some readers have seen this message.
Normally, I'd reboot and everything would work OK, I'd be able to successfully mount the USB, after the reboot.
Today I got stubborn and refused to reboot
After some thinking, reading man pages, and drinking coffee, I discovered that "udevd" wasn't running.
#: /etc/init.d/udevd restart
fixed that and everything is now happy happy joy joy with mounting the USB.
Did you figure out why 'udevd' wasn't running?
WTF is killing "udevd"?
Nope, I haven't tackled that problem, yet.
But, thank you for reminding me to write that on a post-it note and stick it on the monitor....

How Would You Do This Design?
Decorating By Kyriosity Updated 25 Nov 2012 , 5:54pm by lilmissbakesalot
A[IMG ALT=""]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/2861156/width/350/height/700[/IMG]
(Sorry for the poor quality photo -- it's the best I can manage at the moment.)
Ideally, I'd like to do the design in gumpaste, but I'm worried it'll just be too fragile. And since I'd have to make it in advance to give it time to dry, I'm worried I wouldn't get the height quite right. Would you risk it?
Another possibility would be painting directly on the fondant, but I don't think that'd be as effective, visually.
Any ideas I'm not thinking of?
Hope y'all have some brilliant ideas and sage advice for me! ;^)
I'd just cut it out of fondant and glue it to the side of the tiers.
AThanks, Leah. You don't think it'll turn out too floppy-sloppy in fondant?
Oh no, fondant will be sturdy - almost the same as gp, but it won't dry rock hard like gp would. It still will dry enough to handle - especially if you don't roll it too thin.
AThe jill & elliot design is sweet! I would twist fondant too look like rope and make tassel ends for them. The jill rope would be brushed with gold with the gold tassels lying up on top of the tier. The elliot rope would be brushed with silver with the tassels lying on the top of the tier below. (Yep, thats what I said) the cake would be a three tier stack with the center tier twice a high and covered in a lightly marbled fondant from the same color family as the main gum paste flowers used in the cake along with maybe a lighter yellow or white small flower accent. The top and bottom tiers would be decorated with a nice bouquet to top it all off. :grin:
AThe MMF recipe here in the cakecentral.com articles that uses the small Kraft jet puffed marshmallows is fantastic. You can look in my photos and see the blue marbled wedding cake with white butterflies on a ivory colored MMF base tier. That was the first time o use that recipe ( on my daughters WC the night before the wedding) make it the day before you intend to use it. I used a quick 15-20 second hit of the microwave to make it softer and easier to handle.:grin:
AHere is the tutorial for making and using MMF.
And a post to the picture I mentioned:
AThanks, kakeladi. I think that too-thin has been my problem with such things in the past. Fondant it is! The wedding's not till January, though, so I've got a wee bit of time to work out the details. ;^)
AThat sounds fun, SgtGoodie...just not what my bride and groom want. ;^)
Original message sent by Kyriosity
That sounds fun, SgtGoodie...just not what my bride and groom want. ;^) ~Valerie
You could also keep it all on the middle tier. A very quick sketch and pic from my ipad is attached. Keeping it all on the middle tier would leave you wide open on the other tiers. You would have to plan it carefully, pipe it in royal first and use the royal as glue then paint the gold and silver later but it's doable. :grin:
AThanks, but I'm not really looking for a new design, just advice on how to execute the one I've got, which the bride and groom and I are all happy with.
AThe design you originally posted is cool. Would look striking if it was on a multi tiered cake going straight down the middle of the tiers.
AThanks, AZCouture. Yeah, it'd be more dramatic with more tiers, but they just want two, so that's what we're going with.
That would be easy to do... I'd just use fondant. You could use a little tylose or any gum powder in it to give it some stability. i'd just roll our ropes of fondant and make the letters with that. let them set up a little and then place in the cake. The ropes that make the L's I'd just roll out right before you want to place them on the cake.
It's a great design!

Hi, I am hoping for some advice please. Used fondant only once before and it turned out a little elephanty and dusty!
(I looked around for another topic to avoid you guys having to repeat yourselves but didn't find one, so sorry if there is one.... :) )
I am making cake for my son's birthday, with a cars theme. It's going to be oblong. I want to put cut out fondant pieces down the side. Should I let these pieces dry the night before and then stick them on, or stick them on fresh? Same as the top pieces (a large 2) - should that be hard and dry or would it be better to add it on while it's still pliable?
Also, what's the recommendation - icing sugar really made it dusty, is there anything else? if not, how do I get rid of the dusty look?
Thank you
A x
Welcome to CC Ana... If your fondant was tough and wrinkly like elephant skin then it was dry. Using some vegetable shortening should do the trick. I take a dolope in my hand and knead it into the fondant.
I would put my fondant pieces on fresh so they can mold and take the shape of the cake.
I am assuming you used the sugar to roll out the fondant, you can also try the shortening instead. I have the mat and use it so I don't get the dry powdery look, and to remove the dusty residue, just take a large make-up brush (clean one obviously) and just brush away the powder. If you want it to be shiny, brush on some water but remember that the water will also make it sticky in the end so be careful.
Good Luck, don't forget to post a pic AND Happy Birthday to your son.
AHi! Welcome to CC - I love this place, had so much help from everyone :)
I don't use icing sugar as I feel it leaves like a grain feel to the fondant and also dries it out a bit! When I'm working with dark colours I usually use trex/shortening to stop the sticking which no find works well and with light colours I use cornflour/corn starch as that is quite soft and rubs off quite easily too :)
AThank you so much for the replies!
Have you got any tips for lifting the pieces from the mat so they don't disfigure or tear?
Trex? What is this? By the way I'm in the uk so we don't get all these brilliant American cake decorating things over here :(!
Ana x
I thought you might be in the UK.. We have quite a few members from the UK so I'm sure you'll still get all the help you need. I believe our Trex is equivalent to CMC?? Not sure will have to look on some other post first.
I don't lift the fondant from the mat, I peel it off. Just pick up the mat and roll it away from the fondant piece. Its really quite easy.
AI'm in the uk, and I got my trex from tesco's :) it's just like lard lol
AIt looks just like lard I meant to put lol
AOoh cmc I'll have a look thanks :)
Yes, rolling the mat seems more sensible... You can imagine my frustration (and the result!) of trying to scrape it off with a knife!! Duh!
AAh, thanks Lea!
ALard and shortening are two different things please don't use lard it's gross. I'm in the Us I've looked it up it says that Trex is shortening that's what you want to use. Welcome to cc.
AYeh, I was meant to put it LOOKED like lard lol its cos I'm on my phone
Oh sorry, I thought TREX was what we call tylose or tracacangh I see now it is not. Your CMC is a powder which helps to dry fondant like gumpaste. I think you call this sugar paste. lol I thing someone should make a list of all the differences in our wording.
ALol I get confused with the different wording myself too ;)
AYeah I was posting the other day and someone asked me what shortening was lol I was like its shortening, she was from the Uk so I had to google what shortening is called in the Uk.

Two decades ago, Fallbrook-based wildlife artist Gamini Ratnavira conceived the idea for an art exhibition dedicated entirely to wildlife and nature subjects.
This weekend, "Reflections of Nature" marks its 20th anniversary at the Fallbrook Art Center, and the Sri Lanka-born artist will be back again exhibiting among his fellow wildlife artists — which this year includes his son Neil Ratnavira, a nature photographer and painter who lives in Canada.
Although Ratnavira — an international artist known for his intricate paintings of exotic birds as well as his work with nature conservancy programs — has been a constant presence at "Reflections of Nature," the exhibit has grown and changed with time, according to Mary Perhacs, executive director at the center.
This year's exhibition will feature 22 artists who work in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor scratchboard, photography, bronze, wood and stone. Exhibiting artists include painters Gary Johnson, Leslie Kirchner, Joe Garcia and scratchboard artist Sandra Haynes as well as sculptors Kim Shaklee, Pati Stajcar and Jerry Simchuk. Returning this year after a long absence from the show are artists Sallie Lynn Davis, Lindsey Foggett and Victoria Wilson-Schultz. And new to the show this year are Keith Alway, a Huntington Beach artist who brings bright colors and graphic elements to his paintings of endangered animals, and Orange County-based wildlife photographer Paul Marto.
Because "Reflections" is condensed into a single weekend, all of the artists will be at the gallery for the duration of the show selling original work, limited edition prints and postcards.
"This gives people a unique opportunity to visit with the artists, most of whom travel extensively and have wonderful stories to share," Perhacs said.
In association with "Reflections," the center has curated a Jr. Wildlife Show featuring artwork by public, private and home school students in grades K-12 in the Fallbrook and Bonsall areas. The youth art show will run through the weekend at the nearby Fallbrook School of the Arts. Participating students will receive guest passes to "Reflections" as well as a youth membership to the Fallbrook Land Conservancy, Perhacs said.
Another animal-themed exhibit is just around the corner at the Fallbrook gallery, as well. "Celebrate the Horse: In Art, Culture, Sport, and Everyday Life" will run June 16 through July 14.
"Reflections of Nature"
When: preview reception, 6-8 p.m. May 3; exhibit hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 4; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 5
Where: Fallbrook Art Center, 103 S. Main St., Fallbrook
Tickets: $10, reception; $6, general; free, active military and youth 17 and under
Phone: (760) 728-1414

I've noticed that lately my nipples have been driving me completely insane! They have become dry and irritated and I have no idea what to do about it. I've tried lotion but that doesn't last very long. Is this something that I have to suck up, or is there something I can do about it?
mine too. Nothing works for me either
lanolin!!! it's a lifesavor!!! and once you have the baby it's still safe to use cuz you can just wipe it off and not worry about the residue hurting your baby, thats what my doc recommended and it's great!
Quoting milFextraordinaire:
lanolin! its amazing
well lanolin is great, but if youre pregnant then i would save some money and use vaseline for now because lanolin can be pricey. if youre breastfeeding use lanolin all the time!!! because you cant use vaseline because the babys not supposed to eat it, but lanolin is safe.

Rich Homie Quan Is Helping Birdman With The Rich Gang Project
Rich Homie Quan and Birdman have been spotted together numerous times over the past couple months and even released a collaborative track. XXL recently caught up with Rich Homie Quan and the 2014 XXL Freshman provided some clarity on his and Birdman's relationship and what exactly they're working on together.
"I'm helping Birdman with the Rich Gang project," said Rich Home Quan. Of his relationship with the Cash Money mogul he added, "Birdman is more like a big brother I never had. He gives me a lot of creative advice. A lot of wisdom. I just kick it with him every day, we just a family."
As Quan is currently independent, his close association with Birdman leaves many to think that he may pen a deal with Cash Money, but according to Rich Homie himself, he's still weighing out his options: "I'm just still waiting on the right situation. I want something that's gonna be long term opposed to something that's sort of like a fling. But yes, I do want to sign a label deal."
Independent or not, Rich Homie is dropping his debut LP this year. "I will be dropping my album before the year is out," he told XXL.
And as far as working with the rest of the YMCMB clan like Lil Wayne, Rich Homie says,"We have yet to get it in, but I know it's coming. Drake too. I did a show in Houston with Drake. I talked to [Drake] last week though…earlier this week. We're making progress."-Miranda Johnson (@Randa_writes)

HIV Transmission...it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex, though it is a less common mode of transmission than other sexual behaviors (anal and vaginal sex). There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal...

text: > Any ideas on how to proceed? I think the official answer would be to not use these two repo's together. EPEL really shouldn't be used with any other 3rd party repo's. Obviously this isn't really that realistic. I get around the issue by using the yum priorities plugin. I generally set EPEL as the second highest priority (after the base repo's) and rpmforge later. Alternately you can also just specify includepkgs for the packages you need from the repo so nothing else gets stepped on. I think you will likely find the political challenges more difficult to overcome than the technical ones if you're looking to get things sync'd up and nice between the two repo's. :) Ray

ST. PETERSBURG — Dirt-road sprints. Four blocks at a time.
Again. Again. Again.
The kid at Gibbs High was fast enough to get to the state track championship his junior year, but not fast enough to make the finals. The following summer, he pushed himself harder.
Now 45, Kevin Gordon still has a need for speed. As Gibbs' new principal, he must revive an F-rated school.
In his head, a stopwatch is ticking.
Since mid June, the 1982 Gibbs graduate has been working 11-hour days, preparing the foundation for a "100-point challenge" to his faculty. Under Florida's school grading formula, that's how many points it will take to lift Gibbs from an F to a B.
Gordon says Gibbs can do it in one year.
• • •
Gibbs has stumbled despite being part of the lifeblood of the black community. It has floundered even though the Pinellas school district spent $56 million rebuilding it. Walk into the spotless main office, with its royal blue carpet and hovering lights, and more than a dozen portraits of former Gibbs principals — most of them black men, distinguished and driven — stare.
They can't be happy.
In 2008, only 29 percent of Gibbs sophomores were reading at grade level. Among black sophomores, the number falls to 13 percent.
"I want Gibbs to live up to the pride that the community has in Gibbs," Gordon said.
He is soft spoken and low key. He is careful with his words. As a senior at Gibbs, he was named "best dressed," and if anything, he is more crisply tailored now.
He has been married three times. He has four sons, ages 27, 23, 10 and 6.
His parents are nurses. His father is a Gibbs graduate.
He says Gibbs is home.
A yearbook photo shows him on the basketball court, where he also starred, taking a shot while plowing through a defender. "No stopping me now," the caption says.
Gordon was the type of athlete "who would do fantastic even without a coach," said former track coach Gary Dedinsky, who was at Gibbs 33 years before leaving for Clearwater High in 2006. "You didn't have to think of motivational games to keep him interested."
A hamstring injury kept Gordon from the state track finals his senior year. But he was impressive enough to earn a track scholarship to Florida State, where he became an All-American.
His deep ties to Gibbs are giving him an early boost.
"He's a Gibbs alum," said supporter and St. Petersburg Deputy Mayor Goliath Davis. "I'm sure he'll do all he can to muster the resources to motivate the kids and the parents to work hard."
"He'll be a role model," said Cassandra Jackson, a Gibbs parent and president of the football boosters. He can say, "I attended Gibbs. I was successful. I went off to college."
But Jackson and others also tempered their expectations.
Gordon can't do it alone, they said. A lot depends not only on what he does with Gibbs, but what the state and district do.
Said former Gibbs parent Sami Scott, "Without the resources, (Gordon) is just a body with a title."
• • •
Gordon earned an economics degree. He aimed for a career in finance.
In 1987, he was working at SunTrust bank when he was asked to do a business education activity at St. Petersburg High. In the classroom, something clicked.
"It was like, 'Wow, I really like this,' " he said.
Gordon taught social studies in middle school for six years.
He was an assistant principal at Clearwater High for seven years and principal at John Hopkins Middle for two.
At Gibbs, he's making $90,521 a year.
In 2005, then-superintendent Clayton Wilcox transferred Gordon from John Hopkins to High Point Elementary. Gordon said he doesn't know why Wilcox made the decision. He said he was disappointed.
"We were right in the middle of making some major changes," he said.
In the end, though, it prepared him well for Gibbs, he said.
Like Gibbs, High Point's demographics have been shifting rapidly, with more poor and minority students. During Gordon's term, they made strong gains in reading.
Gibbs will get a reading blitz, too, he said.
The school will hire more reading teachers; use more sophisticated tools to pinpoint reading deficiencies; and require history, science and other teachers to weave reading instruction into their content.
Gordon also vowed a different approach to student discipline, which teachers told him was their No. 1 priority. For students, there will be more awareness of expectations and consequences. For staff, more monitoring and enforcement.
Those changes can help Gibbs erase its scarlet letter, Gordon said. And there's no reason it can't happen soon.
Trying to climb from an F to a B in one year might be ambitious, he said. But it's not unrealistic.
"We tell our teachers we want high expectations for our students," he said. "Why should we be any different?"

The Yaris still manages to look quite stylish compared to most other models in its class—especially as a hatchback—even though it's been three years since its U.S. introduction. The two body styles of this model clearly cater to two different classes. While the sedan is slightly more conservative in its trims and interior treatment, the three- and five-door Liftback models are more flamboyant, with a more aerodynamic look, European design influences, and a rear roof spoiler atop the hatch.
"The two-door hatch's funky styling was born in Toyota's European design studio," notes Automobile Magazine, while Road & Track proposes that the four-door Yaris sedan "looks like the little brother of the Corolla." Autoblog thinks "the design is deliberately weird enough" to be sold under Toyota's youth-oriented Scion brand instead. "Indeed," continues the Autoblog reviewer, "Toyota's supposedly hipper sub-brand offers the xD, a five-door on the same architecture as the three and four-door Yaris models." Car and Driver stands apart from most other reviewers and actively dislikes the styling, saying that it "shouts bland and inexpensive" and "has a face only a mother could love."
A Sport Package adds sport seats, larger wheels, a mild body kit, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, all resulting in a different look for this econocar. Autobytel reports, "Outside, the S body kit and 15-inch wheels worked wonders on our tester, at least implying some sport if not actually delivering it." Road & Track also points out that "Yaris owners can up the ante with TRD accessories including suspension modifications, sport exhaust and 18-in. alloy wheels."
Inside, the Yaris has a very unconventional look, with a center-mounted gauge cluster and Liftback models offering large storage areas behind a slim center stack of controls. The interior is a contrast of elements good and bad, desirable and tacky, as Toyota obviously is trying to make a fashionable cabin while watching its price very carefully. Regarding the unusual location of the speedometer, Automobile Magazine says, "Toyota insists that drivers eventually get used to the unconventional location—yeah, and convicts eventually get used to cell block D." But Road & Track sees more humor in the center-mounted gauges, quipping, "Now everybody in the car can see how fast you're going, or how much fuel you have left." But as controversial as it might be, the layout "lends the Yaris a bigger feel inside," notes Autoblog.

Not Happy About The Number On The Scale?
After seeing her Mom weigh in, and apparently not happy about the number on the scale, one little girl says to her friend, "Don't step on it…It makes you cry". After the long holiday weekend, are you feeling a bit 'heavy'?
If you're feeling like you may have had too much barbecue and potato salad this past weekend, you are not alone. In a recent survey by ShopSmart magazine, 90 percent of women say the 'make excuses' for their poor eating habits. 57 percent say money is the reason for their bad eating habits. We've said it many times on the morning show, unhealthy food costs less. Another 45 percent say they have a hard time eating well when their friends don't. And finally, 35 percent say they simply mess up their eating habits all by themselves.
Most people try to eat well but fall short. As a matter of fact, the study found that almost three – quarters of women read nutrition labels yet 39 percent say they could make improvements in their diets.

Yoshi's Story
Review by Cooper
"One of the best games for the Nintendo 64 !!!!"
Yoshi's Story is one of the most seriously underrated games on the Nintendo 64. Some people say it is too easy, while others say it is too childish, and others say it is worthless. Well, obviously it is easy, it is geared toward kids. The real challenge is not to beat the game in 30 minuntes. It is collecting every single melon and coin in the game. If you can do that, you have ''beaten'' Yoshi's Story.
Story- 8/10
It is kind of similar to the SNES game SMW2: Yoshi's Island. It is still kind of creative, and younger kids will like it. The book concept of turning the pages is pretty cool. (Makes a great stage on Super Smash Bros.)
Graphics- 9/10
The graphics are some of the best I have seen. Yoshi truly comes to life. He huffs and puffs, when your life is low and he skips when your life is high. He even looks at you when you don't move him as if to say, ''What are you waiting for?'' The enemies are nicely animated too. Backgrounds give the look of handmade materials and the area you run around in has many 3D effects to it. The ability to change trails in certain levels and when you go into doors are a few examples.
Sound- 9/10
Okay, I will say the singing is a tad annoying, but I am a pretty mellow person, so it doesn't really bother me. Like I said earlier, Yoshi, Baby Bowser, and others come to life. The sounds they make, like Yoshi catching his breath and Baby Bowser getting all flustered are funny at times. The music is kind of addicting to me and it gets stuck in my head whenever I play the game. Pretty good sounds overall. (The funniest thing is if you eat something like a hot pepper because Yoshi will stick out his toungue and kind of go ''yuck''.)
Gameplay/Control- 10/10
What can you expect from Shigeru Miyamoto? The man is simply a genius. You can credit him for Star Fox 64 and Super Mario 64. Those games had excellent play and control as does this one. You control every aspect of Yoshi from licking up a Shy Guy to holding on to am umbrella for a nice slow descent to the bottom. You can run, walk, or crawl. You name it and Yoshi will do it. The Rumble Pak works pretty good for this game too. It rumbles at obvious times like if you do a groud pound or if you get hit by an enemy.
Overall- 9/10
It grieves me how many people don't like this game. I am a teenager and I love it. I am a big adventure game person and this game fits the bill. This game has so many secrets, it is mind boggling. With so many things to find and characters to meet, Yoshi's Story is filled with suprises galore! The Practice mode is very helpful so you can get the feel of the game. As far as renting or buying, I will let you decide. I bought it when it came out though, and I don't regret it.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Who the heck is Matt?
You'll find a little bit of everything covered here, but primarily "techie" stuff... website design, development, PHP programming, database, general gadget-related articles, etc.
About this website
The engine behind mdj.us is phpSQLiteCMS, with a lot of custom hacks.
Previous versions have run sNews CMS, and various other CMSs before that.
This is my playground of sorts, you can find any range of topic covered here, depending upon my interests at the time.
Random stuff about me
I like to hack around in PHP and Perl, I'm a bit of a Linux nerd as well (been using Debian since Potato for my server, and the Fedora Xfce spin for my desktop). I'm constantly starting new designs, some of which I convert to themes (aka templates) and make them available for download here on my site.
I dig video games, gadgets, web design, programming, and anything techie in general. I also enjoy the outdoors, particularly hiking & taking pictures with my phone (aka iPhotography).
About the domain
I registered this domain on April 24th, 2002, the "gold rush" day for the second level .us domains. I attempted to register about 10 variations on my name and this is the only one I got, it was my least favorite at the time, but I've come to appreciate the value of the 3 character domain.
This domain was used primarily for internal web design & testing from '02 until fall of '08, when I began publishing my random thoughts and made this my public blog/article site.
