Holliday Tips His Cap To Redskins FansPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 6:24 pm
While the Cardinals game was a redemption match for Tim Hightower, it was also a homecoming of sorts for departed defensive end Vonnie Holliday.
After the one-point loss, Holliday credited the Redskins fans for establishing a hostile environment.
"It is just a great environment, you know that coming in," he said. "I stressed the importance of taking the crowd out of this game. We were unable to do that. We felt that some times in the game were able to do it, but for the most part the crowd stood up."
Obviously after playing here for eight games last year and several other times in his career, Holliday is familiar with the volume of the D.C. faithful. Even being on the other side of it, it sounded like it still gave Holliday a rush.
"It's FedExField, it's the Redskins," he said. "You have a lot of rich tradition here. It is a storied franchise. It's always great to come in here and play them. We knew that. You have to get up early and you have to take the crowd out of it." Read more »

Adam Carriker, High School FlamethrowerPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 4:14 pm
Watching Washington Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg pitch brings Adam Carriker back to his younger days as a high school pitcher.
Not all that long ago, football was only a passing interest for Carriker, who as a kid had his sights set on pitching in Major League Baseball.
"Yeah, actually I was gonna be a pro baseball player," he said. "Growing up, literally my dad didn't even let me play football until I was in middle school."
His goal of playing in the majors was certainly within reach.
"That's what I always thought growing up," he remembered. "I mean, that's who told me I threw 93, was a scout. He's like, 'By the time you are a senior you could be hitting 95,' or whatever."
Carriker was a power-pitcher in high school, and his reputation for high heat preceded him. Read more »

Big Red Makes Big Impact For RedskinsPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 2:06 pm
In the 2011 NFL Draft, the Redskins spent three consecutive picks in the middle rounds on players from the University of Nebraska: running back Roy Helu, wide receiver Niles Paul and safety DeJon Gomes.
But the storyline has transitioned from a draft-day novelty, to having all three make the 53-man roster, and contribute in the first two games of the season.
Gomes tweeted his excitement after the finals cuts were made before the regular season:

Shanahan Looks To Keep Backs Fresh, HealthyPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 12:32 pm
Going into head coach Mike Shanahan's first training camp in Washington, his selection at running back was a trio of aging stars in Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker. Parker didn't make the team, Johnson didn't make it for long, and Portis spent most of the season in the training room.
The running game struggled with the rest of the offense, gaining only 1,461 yards on the ground.
Already in 2011, Tim Hightower and Roy Helu have combined for 246 yards, which puts them on pace for more than 2,000 yards on the ground this season.
While Hightower may be the primary back on the depth chart, Shanahan explained that Helu has a defined role in this offense.
"What I think you'll see throughout the year–not just at the running back position, but at the wide receiver position and tight end position as well," he said, "is that sometimes people get tired."
I've heard that this happens at other positions as well, but no confirmation.
"You want everybody that's playing to be close to 100 percent, and sometimes it's a good change-up," Shanahan explained. "Especially if your guy gets a few carries and he looks a little tired, to put somebody else in. Give [one player] a chance to recover, and another to show people what he can do."
This is a delicate strategy for Shanahan, who has to take Hightower's history into account. Already in 2011, Hightower has rushed 45 times, good for second in the league (Ben Tate, 47). In 2010 with Arizona, Hightower rushed a career-high 153 times, and did not reach 45 rushes until the end of Week 5 (46).
How Shanahan is able to pace Hightower is largely dependent on the success and development of Helu.
"When you get a guy like Helu, you don't know why guys make plays, but the great ones do," he said of the 2011 fourth-round pick. "It's going to be an ongoing evaluation of him. Can he pick up blitzes? Can he hold onto the football? I was pleased with what he has done thus far through the preseason and our second regular season game. Hopefully, he just continues to grow."

Capitals' Owner Rocks The RedskinsPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 11:26 am
Among the many D.C. faithful in attendance on Sunday, NHL Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis was present to cheer on the Redskins.
Leonsis posted about his experience on his personal blog, Ted's Take:
We had a blast.
I bought tickets and sat in the Dream Seats near the end zone – me, my son and two of his friends. The seats were perfect as was the service in our area. The weather was great, the sight lines were terrific and the fans were friendly.
The parking lot was easy to get in and out of. Traffic wasn't bad. We grabbed burgers at Johnny Rockets before the game. Quite tasty I must say and everyone was friendly, nice and supportive.
The game was tense, hard fought and terrific. I am happy the Skins won and played before a passionate and loud crowd. It is great to see success for all teams of late here in DC.
I really enjoyed myself and will definitely try to catch another game soon. Hail to the Redskins! See this goofy photo of me in our seats at the game. Thanks.
I think it's great that there's appreciation between and among the sports teams in Washington, especially now that there seems to be renaissance of sports in the district. This is the second Capitals encounter in as many months, after Caps coach Bruce Boudreau paid a visit to training camp in August.
Rock the Redskins, and hail to D.C. sports.

Hightower Is A Big Fan Of HeluPosted by on September 20, 2011 – 10:38 am
Sunday was supposed to be a redemption week for jettisoned former Cardinal running back Tim Hightower. He started out the first half on a torrid pace, piling up 83 rushing yards and 10 yards through the air.
But in the second half, he gained on 13 yards on the ground. He had his statement game with 106 all-purpose yards against his former team, but was edged for 112 all-purpose yard by rookie back Roy Helu.
Don't expect Hightower to be jealous, though, as he said after the game that getting Helu his touches was "just good coaching."
"Just like in basketball when someone has the hot-hand you go with them," he said. "I was doing well, I had some good runs in the first half, and they stuck with me. He played well in the second half and they stuck with him. You ride that wave and you let them lead us into victory."
Hightower has been very supportive of a two-to-three-headed monster in Washington, and expects his teammates to be successful.
"All three of us together we are gonna make this team better, and I'm proud about Roy," he said with a smile. "It's not surprising at all–it's actually encouraging to see what I've seen in practice actually manifest on the field. Any given week, sometimes they're gonna need me to do it, sometimes they're gonna need Roy to do it. Don't forget about Ryan Torain, that guy still, he's a heck of a back."
"It's just good in my position to have guys who you get along with, who can encourage you, who can push and motivate you."
The Alexandria, Va. native also made sure to give proper attribution of his Sunday performance to his fans in the stands.
"The support is unbelievable," he said. "When I'm out there on that field, and sometimes get a little bit tired I think of all those people. They're pulling for you, and that's what keeps me going, that's what keeps me motivated. Again, I love it, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season."

PFA chief: Striking players would breach contract
Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has said that any player who refuses to play for his club would be in breach of their contract.
• Pulis slams 'disrespectful' Begovic
• Mascherano goes on strike
Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano and Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic were both reported to have gone on strike ahead of potential transfers, but Begovic has been in touch with the PFA and says there was a misunderstanding.
Taylor revealed that the PFA have been involved in talks regarding the goalkeeper at Stoke and claims that reports both players are on strike are wide of the mark.
"From the enquiries we have made it appears the player has made it clear he is not in the right frame of mind because he wants a move, and this has upset his club, quite naturally,'' Taylor told Soccernet. ''The same appears to have occurred with Mascherano."
With the revelations surrounding the Stoke goalkeeper, Taylor admits that players' agents are the source of the pressure and that if a player does strike, he runs the risk of not being paid.
''It is prevalent that pressure is brought by agents to tell players not to play, to push through their transfers, but refusing to play is not a tactic that the players' union could possibly condone,'' Taylor said. ''Players who refuse to play leave themselves open to accusations of breach of contract and would therefore risk not being paid.
"I would look at the way James Milner conducted himself. He was fully aware of the interest in him by Manchester City and he wanted to go, but he opted to play his best for Villa, scored, Villa won, and he left on good terms and with good grace with his head held up and able to return to the club one day.
"That is how we would like players to conduct themselves in very delicate circumstances. Of course players and managers and the clubs have to sort these problems and not everything is clear cut, so it's hard to pre-judge anything without knowing all the facts.
''But with the transfer window closing in a week's time the pressure is mounting on players who are seeking a move, and if players blatantly refuse to play, they are in breach of contract. If players or clubs need our help in these situations we are more than willing to do so.''

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2007/09/05 - New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, World Stress/Strain Measurement Equipment Markets, reveals that the market earned revenues of $3.2 billion in 2006 and estimates this to reach $4.5 billion in 2013.
The need for sophisticated equipment continues to gain significance as new applications for stress/strain measurement increase in the European and Asia Pacific oil and gas, as well as building sectors. Accordingly, the stress/strain measurement equipment markets, comprised of conventional and fiber optic methods, appear set to achieve growth.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (testandmeasurement.frost.com), World Stress/Strain Measurement Equipment Markets, reveals that the market earned revenues of $3.2 billion in 2006 and estimates this to reach $4.5 billion in 2013.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants, an overview of the latest analysis of the World Stress/Strain Measurement Equipment Markets, then send an email to Sara Villarruel - Corporate Communications at sara.villarruel[.]frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, email address, city, state, and country. We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.
"Technologies such as Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), the Brillouin scattering method, Fabry-Pérot fiber optic sensing technology and Rayleigh scattering methods contributed to the growth of the fiber optic measurement equipment market in 2006," notes Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Sujan Sami. "Moreover, these technologies are expected to assist the fiber optic methods in exceeding customer requirements more effectively when compared to conventional technologies."
Currently, the FBG technology contributes about 70 percent of the total fiber optic market revenues, followed by the Fabry-Pérot fiber optic sensing technology and the Rayleigh scattering method. In the long term, the Rayleigh scattering method will likely increase its potential and generate larger revenues for this market segment.
In the future, these products will compete with conventional methods such as strain gages and load cells. Fiber optic equipment reliability and high competition with conventional methods represent the key challenges affecting the growth of this market.
"Conventional methods have existed for over six decades and the impact of the fiber optic products will likely take at least another decade to overcome the growth of the mature conventional-type measurement equipment market," says Sami. "Moreover, the high cost of fiber optic equipment remains a deterrent to market growth."
Furthermore, remote monitoring represents one area of concern for the conventional methods, especially in situations where the sensor and instrument are placed several miles apart. Therefore, remote monitoring is a key driver for the fiber optic equipment market.
Given these factors and the growth potential of fiber optic methods, vendors continuous efforts to educate end-users about the features of these devices will prove beneficial.
World Stress/Strain Measurement Equipment Markets is part of the Test and Measurement Growth Partnership Service, which includes research in the following markets: World Non-destructive Test Equipment Market, World Mechanical Test Equipment Market, World VXI and PXI Test and Measurement Equipment Market, World Condition Monitoring Equipment and Services Markets, and World Rapid Prototyping Equipment Markets.

London: European stock markets sank on Monday, with Milan shares plunging after Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti announced his intention to resign, in the latest twist in the fast-moving euro zone debt crisis.
Milan's FTSE MIB benchmark index of top companies slumped 3.38% to 15,169.44 points in early morning deals, as Italian government borrowing costs spiked on the back of political uncertainty.
Madrid's IBEX 35 index dived 1.44% to 7,734.4 points, hit also by rising bond yields in debt-laden Spain.
Elsewhere, London's FTSE 100 dipped 0.23% to 5,900.58 points, Frankfurt's DAX 30 shed 0.47% to 7,482.92 and the Paris CAC 40 lost 0.60% to 3,583.54 points.
"For all the drama that has been surrounding Spain and Greece recently, it's Italy now everyone is focusing on today. The unsettling news out of the euro zone's third biggest economy is weighing on sentiment," said Gekko Markets analyst Anita Paluch.
In foreign exchange activity, the European single currency dropped to $1.2909, down from $1.2928 late in New York on Friday. Gold prices rose to $1,710.82 an ounce on the London Bullion Market, from $1,701.50.
Meanwhile, the cost to Italy of borrowing for 10 years rose sharply on political uncertainty after Silvio Berlusconi said that he would challenge Monti in forthcoming elections.
"Whether it's Monti's early departure or the fact that Berlusconi is going to run for office again, that's proving the most unsettling for markets is clearly open for debate," said Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at brokerage firm Interactive Investor. "However, many consider Italy as being on the cusp of plunging into a financial markets abyss.
"Monti's appointment and formation of a technocratic government really was seen as the only way to steer Italy away from Armageddon, and strong leadership to ensure austerity is implemented—and tax receipts continue to creep higher—is imperative," said McCudden.
In reaction to the turmoil, the 10-year yield on the market for existing government bonds jumped to 4.759% on Monday, from 4.525% late on Friday.
Monti, caretaker prime minister since Berlusconi left office last year under a cloud of controversy, is credited with enacting deep economic reforms that had brought down sharply Italian bond yields.
"Italian elections—possibly as early as February—could weigh on European assets for the medium term. The market had expected elections in April," added Kathleen Brooks, research director at trading website Forex.com.
"Monti will resign, so the market needs to weigh up the prospect of a new leader who may not want to stick to Monti's economic reform programme," she told AFP. "Added to that, Berlusconi's potential return to power may cause Italian relations with other euro zone members—particularly Germany—to deteriorate."
Brooks added that the euro losses were capped by expectations of more quantitative easing stimulus measures from the US Federal Reserve, which will announce its latest interest rate decision on Wednesday.
In earlier deals, Asian equities mostly rose on Monday as dealers cheered an improvement in the US unemployment rate and another batch of manufacturing figures indicating China's economy is emerging from a slumber.

William Holden
Apr. 17, 1918
St. Clair County
Illinois, USA
Nov. 12, 1981
Santa Monica
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Actor. Born William Franklin Beedle in O'Fallon, Illinois, he initially followed in his father's footsteps by studying chemistry at Pasadena Junior College before he signed a contract with Paramount in 1937. His first role was an unaccredited appearance 1938's "Prison Farm" but he became a star almost effortlessly by virtue of his starring role in 1939's "Golden Boy". During World War II he served in the United States Army Air Corps, where he acted in training films. After returning to Hollywood, he alternated between Paramount and Columbia studio projects before his career was reborn when he was cast in "Sunset Boulevard" for which he earned an Academy Award Best Actor nomination. He quickly followed that success with "Born Yesterday". In 1953 he was cast in "Stalag 17" for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor. He released "Sabrina" and "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" in 1954, apparently basing his character in the latter upon his younger brother, Robert Beedle, a United States Navy fighter pilot who was killed in action in 1944. He gained another critical success with "Picnic: in 1955. William Holden also became a heavy drinker and womanizer, being linked with actresses Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Capucine, Shelley Winters, and Eva May Hoffman among others. The combination led to a decline in his interest in his work and the end of his thirty year marriage. Through out the 1960s he starred in a dozen films, including the notorious "The Wild Bunch" in 1969, but his productivity was on the decline as other interests became more important. An avid traveler, he became a managing partner in an animal preserve country club in Kenya where he began to spend much of his time. He had a hit with the made for television movie "The Blue Knight" in 1973 and earned an Emmy Award for his performance. He also appeared in the multi-star disaster film "The Towering Inferno" in 1974. His last critically acclaimed performance was 1976's "Network", for which he earned his third and final nomination for a Best Actor Academy Award. His last film appearance was in Blake Edward's "S.O.B." which was released in 1981. That November, his apartment manager noticed he had not seen Holden in several days. Concerned, he let himself into the actor's apartment and discovered Holden's body. The coroner's report indicated that William Holden had died as a result of an accidental fall contributed to by a blood alcohol level of .22. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is located at 1651 Vine Street.

Kudos to my colleagues of the Diesel online creative team and to Hi-ReS! for the new Cabinet of Vision website for Diesel Jewellery.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
it took me awhile to figure out what i was clicking through to see, but after that initial confusion its all got a very beautiful look to it. sort of a noir look that matches a dark pleasure that comes with shopping for expensive diesel jewelry. . . or something like that.
Any site that is just 'waiting' screen after 'waiting' screen gets a big thumbs down from me.
I don't mind a longish wait at the start, but man, after that, stop making me wait EVERY TIME I click on something.
too arty. it's just like the rest of diesel website. slow and confusing. show me the product.
Agree with other comments. This is artsy for the sake of being artsy. Does Diesel want to sell anything or just be some weird, David Fincher-esque brand? Tying products to emotions is wonderful – hey rich media marketing is all about engagement – but you've only got a sliver of time online because there are 15 other blogs and "cool sites" that my buddies (and Adverblog) want me to check out.
Totally agree, consumer experience also expresses itself through a basic respect of ergonomic rules! Besides, there is no real information on products…
Who cares about product info? They're selling cool, not a camera. I think it does a good job of addding a sense of mystery and style to what are, let's face it, pretty basic items. However, agree with all above, long waits for a pretty picture. If I wait that long I want to see something a bit more interesting than a non-interactive picture.
WTF is up with this website? i actually wanted to go buy something from their jewellery site but i can't find anything! WTF, someone need to get fired for this.

Listen to Jack White's New 'Battle Cry'
Jack White has released a new song as part of an ad campaign for a baseball bat company that he co-owns.
Jack White has released a new song as part of an ad campaign for a baseball bat company that he co-owns.
Here's how you can buy the live album Pearl Jam recorded at Jack White's intimate Nashville venue.
The intimate gig was kept secret until just a few hours prior and was only open to members of Pearl Jam's 10 Club.
The White Stripes recorded the rare live sessions with BBC's John Peel in support of their 2001 breakthrough 'White Blood Cells.'
It might be the best thing Jack White has done in ages and Third Man Records will release the song on 7-inch vinyl next month.
White will perform "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" with The Muppets house band, the Electric Mayhem, on tonight's season finale.
White will appear on the season finale of 'The Muppets' on March 1.
White is slated to appear in the March finale of the ABC comedy to lend Kermit a hand with "matters of the heart."
"Itchy" will appear on the forthcoming Third Man Records Vault package, 'Live at the Gold Dollar,' a three-LP release featuring Jack White's early bands.
The next installment of Third Man Records' vinyl subscription service will include rare live performances by some of White's bands before the White Stripes broke.

Tata Consultancy Services Starts India's Earnings With Slowing Growth, Brexit Uncertainty
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS.India) kicked off India's earnings season after the market close last night.
TCS reported a good quarter. Revenue grew 3.7% in dollar terms and operating margin was 25.1%, above expectation of 24.3%. "However, the investment story remains the same as in the past 2 years. TCS's growth is slowing each year, led by both a growing base and no improvement in global tech spending," noted HSBC this morning.
Meanwhile, TCS's management cautioned against the potential impact from Brexit. TCS receives 27% of its revenue from Europe.
Indian stocks re-entered a bull market this week, completely brushing aside Brexit fears. The earnings season will show whether this bull market has more room to run.
Year-to-date, the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) has risen 6.5% and the WisdomTree India Earnings Fund (EPI) has gained 7.2%.

"In 2010, White Castle donated $500,000 to Autism Speaks from sales of the Original Slider® candle and the puzzle piece campaign," said Jamie Richardson, vice president of government and corporate communications.
Cravers purchased 384,190 puzzle pieces in 2010.
"We're hoping that our customers and employees get the crave to support and give back to an organization White Castle is committed to helping," Richardson said. "The goal is for Cravers to purchase more puzzle pieces this year so we can make a larger donation to Autism Speaks."
In addition to purchasing the puzzle pieces in restaurants, customers will receive a certificate for a free Original Slider®.
According to the Autism Speaks website, autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders. It's estimated that one in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism. An estimated 1.5 million people in the U.S. are affected by this biological disorder. Scientists have yet to determine a definite cause for autism.

Ed Dunlop's Snow Fairy produced an amazing turn of foot to win the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup for the second year in succession.
Ryan Moore's mount looked to have plenty to do turning into the straight as she was at least 10 lengths behind the runaway leader Shimmei Fuji with a dozen horses still in front of her.
In front of a huge crowd at Kyoto in Japan, last year's winner began to stay on strongly but it looked as if a place was going to be the best she could hope for with a furlong to run.
However, running on the fast ground she so loves, the four-year-old quickened up in fantastic style to burst through and beat Aventura by a neck with Apapane third.
Snow Fairy was drawn widest of all in stall 18, which made her performance even more meritorious.
Unfortunately William Haggas' Oaks winner Dancing Rain could never get in a blow.
Johnny Murtagh decided to hold her up in the rear from stall 14, rather than adopting her front-running tactics, but she never threatened at any stage.
Dunlop's filly had been without a win this season but had run some fine races in defeat including the in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Irish Champion Stakes.
The result will be more than compensation for the Newmarket handler who was beaten by a nostril in the Melbourne Cup when Red Cadeaux lost out narrowly to Dunaden.
Moore is now unbeaten in five races on board the durable Snow Fairy, who has won well over €3million in prize money.
"She's a very talented filly and she tries very hard, I'm very lucky to be involved with her," said Moore.
"Snow Fairy always quickens very well. The pace was stronger than I thought it would be and we were further back than I hoped to be positioned.
"She has a lot of class and a good turn of foot and she picked up very well in the straight.
"She's a very talented horse. It's great to ride a filly good enough to come here, the racing in Japan is getting stronger every year."
Dunlop was naturally delighted and tweeted: "Wow cannot believe it! Truly great filly, unbelievable ride and outstanding performance by my team, our luck has hopefully changed!"
Snow Fairy was bitten by an insect five days ago and there had been a slight doubt about her participation.
"We thought we had no chance two furlongs out, she was so far back. It was an unbelievable ride by Ryan," added Dunlop.
"She was drawn 18 and there was the fact she had a problem five days ago and wouldn't have run.
"Five days ago she was three out of five lame on her right hind where the infection was very bad.
"The Japanese vets were fantastic. She had antibiotics, pain relief and huge credit must go to my staff who have looked after her.
"I was very downbeat after the problem that she would be able to win and today is one of the proudest moments we will ever have with her.
"No one had won this race from abroad and now she's won it twice.
"We had Ouija Board and now we have her. I can't tell you how much we appreciate having her.
"Ryan said she had a hard enough race and blew up 50 yards out. She will go to Hong Kong next. We will decide which race there later on.
"She will stay in training next year as long as she's OK. We're very lucky.
"It was a great ride by Ryan. He's ridden her five times, he's won five Group Ones on her. We're very grateful to him," the Newmarket trainer told At The Races.

What does it mean when a girl calls you weird? lol
I said "I want to move somewhere warm with coconuts I love coconuts lol."
then she's says "your weird"
I said "oh yeah because I am weird one of your pics your kissing a coconut"
She said "Haha I was just happy to be in warm weather!"
Most Helpful Girl
Ohhh it all depends on her tone. If she seems like she's creeped out, she's telling you she thinks there's something wrong with you. If it's all in good humor and you're 100% sure she sees it that way she's kidding around with you and she doesn't have a good come back to what you just said so she uses the cop-out answer :P I do it all the time when I mean it the second way. "You're such a weirdo" or something like that. It can be affectionate, depending on tone.00|00|0

Small Refrigerated Case For Cupcakes?
Business By jessieb578 Updated 3 Aug 2012 , 2:31pm by Amelie51
Ok, so I work full time and am in my shop on the weekend. I do cakes by order but I'm thinking of getting a small table top case to do cupcakes in to offer to sell on the weekends, nothing huge, maybe 2-3 feet wide, 2-3 feet tall. I have so many people walking in asking if I have anything to sell that I thought it might be good to start with something small?
Any ides first if this exists and second where I can find something like this?
you can search ebay for used equipment. there is a store on there that is in new york so you could probably save a lot on s&h
ha! I was just looking on ebay! I didn't see the one in NY though.
Do you think that it would have to be a refrigerated case??
Bakery display cases can come either refrigerated or non-refrigerated. Your Health Department can tell you which one you need, but it would mostly depend upon how you would ice your cupcakes.
If you use IMBC or SMBC, you would want them refrigerated because they can break down at a certain temp. Shortening based BC would not need to be kept cold.
Oh, and I found a lot of good deals on used equipment on craigslist and a local supply store, who has the hook-ups on people who want to upgrade.
Ohhh, Craigslist is a good idea too. Apparently there's a place in NYC which is close enough to me that sells all kinds of discount equipment. Restaurants open and close in the city so much that they have a lot of stuff to offer. I'll give that a shot too.
jessieb - what happens when you can't keep up with the cupcake demand because you have cake orders to fill. Once you start offering those cc's people will hear about it and they will be in for more.......
We used to keep our cupcakes in a non refrigerated case...
Got way to busy making cakes ....to keep the cupcakes full....now i just do them by order.
Yes, they do exist ... I bought one 2 weeks ago off of craig's list. will take a pic tomorrow when I get to the shop.
Since you said you are wanting to keep it small, IF you decide that it doesn't have to be refrigerated, then you could always do a series of covered cake plates on the counter. I'm attaching some pictures that I found on the internet of the basic idea I'm talking about. I think it makes a cute, quaint display.
I love that idea. All of the cupcakes on the little stands looks beautiful!
Indy, is that for your new cookie shop? How is that going? Is it open for business?
Yep, that's it! The front space turned out WAY bigger than I thought it was going to be, and I thought "Wow, I'll NEVER fill this space!" Well, I quickly got over that thought! Below is some pics I took today. I'm standing in the shop doorway and just started from left to right.
The big counter on the left was made by hubby over 10 years ago. It was in his dad's biz until they closed it this year, and we were very fortunate to get it back. It has 6 HUGE cubby spaces in the back of it. Behind this counter is a table/chairs for brides during samplings, and my desk area. I keep lots of wedding vendors' biz cards and brochures on here.
The photo-screen was a great find! It was trash day in our neighborhood and someone was throwing this out! I told my 15-year old "Get out and throw that in the van!" She said, "MOM!! SOmeone might see me!" I said, "Then you better move fast!!" I'm slowly filling it with cake and catering pics.
In the middle pic, I plan to get some kind of screen or drapery to hide the storage shelves that make up my "storage room", so please overlook that for now!
The cookie display case I got off of ebay for $112, plus a 10 hour drive to the other side of Columbus OH .... well worth it!
My favorite buy is the 3-pc table/bench units that I have the dummies on in the window area. I was shopping in Burlington Coat Factory and they had this at the front of the store with a for-sale sign on them ... I got all 3 pieces for $65!!! And coincidentally, it matches the color of the counter hubby built!
I wish I could post the powerpoint slide I made ... I overlaid all 3 pics so it looks like one big photo! Cool!!
Sorry ... didn't mean to sidetrack the thread!
Wow!! Looks great! I LOVE the counter your hubby built! Red is my favorite color these days and I just love that counter!
I'm the one that hijacked....but if I didn't ask you now, I probably would forget to send you a PM! Silly blonde I am.
Very cool shoppe. With something that good looking ya just have to have a dble p, and an e.
We always make sure we have our case full of cupcakes, they are one of our biggest sellers on the cash and carry stuff. Check out a book called Hello Cupcake. Tons of cute ideas that kids love! The "pupcakes" on the cover are very popular.
Ok, so I work full time and am in my shop on the weekend. I do cakes by order but I'm thinking of getting a small table top case to do cupcakes in to offer to sell on the weekends, nothing huge, maybe 2-3 feet wide, 2-3 feet tall.

Any ides first if this exists and second where I can find something like this?
Hi Jessie...I too am looking for such a small display case for my new shoppe. Did you get any ideas. I'm opening in a couple of weeks and can't seem to find one. People are dropping in the store pre-opening when our doors are open while doing the construction and asking...will you have cupcakes to buy everyday????? If you did find something please let me know. Thanks...Oh and good luck to you!!!!

Speaking to Videogamer, Microsoft UK's head of gaming and entertainment Stephen McGill stated: "We're a great price now. I'm not dropping the price for many many years in the future I would suspect."
"I'm not going to speculate where the price of the Xbox 360 might go in five or ten years time, whatever. But we've obviously just reduced the price and that's because we can pass the costs reductions we have straight on to consumers.
"That's the right thing to do, obviously from a business point of view it helps it sell even more. I think a lot of people have been waiting for it to become even more affordable and they're now seeing that benefit and buying it in their droves and we can now hopefully continue it through Christmas and beyond."

I have a few cardinal rules for achieving work life balance. I realize this approach won't work for everyone, but hopefully it'll help some of you. Some of these are recent and some of them are a little older and have grown with me as my work situation has changed over the years.
Fortunately I have had the opportunities to work in a variety of different environments, small companies that were strictly 9-5, small companies where it was 9-5 plus work or industry events, big companies that were international and I couldn't detach myself from my blackberry and back. I've had managers who never emailed me and preferred only communicating when we were in the office together and I've had managers who rely so heavily on email at all hours of the nights. It's tough out there and as connected as we are to our devices, it'll just keep getting tougher.
ONE // Set expectations with your manager on when he or she can expect you to be readily available as well as what to do if it's outside of those hours and they need to get in touch with you. For me, right now, I don't check my work email until I step foot into my office in the morning and I'm online until I walk in my front door in the evening. So that's roughly 8:45am-7/7:30pm. The team has my cell number and can text me if they need an immediate response or something is going on that needs my attention.
TWO // If you have one device for work and personal use have two separate apps for your personal and work email. This way you can move your work email app off of your home screen when you don't want to be and you can shut off your notifications on off hours. This is especially helpful if you're neurotic like me and don't like the red numbers growing and growing.
THREE // Use your vacation and personal days and get the most out of your vacation. You'll be no good at work if you burnout so take the time off and recharge. You'll go back to work better than ever.
Need some more inspiration for achieving balance? Well I'm teaming up with The B Bar for their monthly linkup and everyone who's participating is sharing their own take on achieving balance so check them out!

peppermint-chocolate shortbread
from vanillasugarblog.com
for the peppermint shortbread:
8 oz. unsalted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners sugar
2 cups cake flour minus 2 TB
2 oversized TB cocoa powder
a splash or 3 of peppermint extract
¼ ts salt
for the white chocolate drizzle:
½ cup +/- of melted white chocolate with a touch of peppermint extract (add the peppermint extract in after the chocolate is melted, not before)
¼ cup finely crushed candy canes for decorations
I used an 8 or 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom; this would work best, if you don't have this
then use an 8 or 9 inch baking pan and spray with non stick spray and/or line with parchment paper.
In a bowl mix the cake flour and cocoa powder, set aside.
In a bowl (stand mixer or otherwise), cream together butter, sugar, peppermint extract, and salt.
Slowly work in cake flour mixture until well combined.
No need to overmix, small lumps here and there are fine. This is a very dry dough.
Using wet fingertips, spread dough into pan, making sure to get all the corners evenly.
Place prepared pan into fridge to firm up a bit before baking. At least an hour.
If you cover this well enough you can leave it overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat over to 350 degrees.
Bake 21 - 25 minutes until edges are LIGHTLY golden brown or just firm.
Don't look for complete overall doneness; it's ok if middle is a little soft.
Make sure to rotate pan halfway through baking too.
Let this cool in pan for at least an hour.
Remove from pan, and slice into bars or sticks, which ever you like.
Place over wire racks with parchment paper underneath.
Drizzle melted white chocolate over the bars and decorate with finely crushed candy canes.
Makes about 20+ sticks, depending on how you slice them.

San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, a Ventnor native and Holy Spirit High School graduate, is a finalist for the Penn State football head-coaching job, his agent said Monday.
Mike Harrison told The Associated Press by phone that Roman interviewed for the position in November and is on the "short list" to take over the embattled program, rocked in recent months by the sex-abuse scandal.
Roman confirmed to The Press of Atlantic City via text message Monday that he interviewed with Penn State officials and has been in further contact with them recently, but he declined to comment further.
Roman told The Press: "My focus is 100 percent on helping the 49ers win the next game."
Harrison said he expects to know soon whether Roman will be hired but declined to offer further details, such as whether Roman would finish out the season with the playoff-bound NFC West champion 49ers (13-3). San Francisco is the NFC's No. 2 seed and earned a first-round bye, with its first game Jan. 14 at Candlestick Park.
"We should know in a week or so. That's our best guess," said Harrison, of the Los Angeles-based agency Advantage Sports & Entertainment. "He interviewed quite a while ago."
On Sunday, acting Penn State athletic director David Joyner said that nobody had emerged as a leading candidate. Joyner also had previously said that the school wanted to have a new head coach in place in time to recruit before high school seniors can start announcing their college choices on Feb. 1.
Penn State's season ended Monday with a 30-14 loss to Houston in the TicketCity Bowl in Dallas.
Harrison said Roman - who came to the 49ers from Stanford along with coach Jim Harbaugh last year - was offered the Tulane job to replace Bob Toledo. The school hired Curtis Johnson last month.
Penn State's program has been without a permanent head coach since Nov. 9, when university trustees fired Hall of Famer Joe Paterno in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. He is awaiting trial and pleaded not guilty after waiving a preliminary court hearing last month.
Longtime defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, who has been leading the team on an interim basis, has interviewed for the job. Defensive line coach Larry Johnson is also among the candidates who have interviewed.
The 49ers were the surprise team of the NFL this season under coach Jim Harbaugh, who was previously Stanford's head coach and brought Roman with him when he took the San Francisco job.
The Niners finished the regular season ranked 26th in total offense, averaging 310.9 yards per game.
Roman, 39, was a finalist last year for the head-coaching job at the University of Pittsburgh that eventually went to Todd Graham. Graham coached the Panthers this season but just left to replace Dennis Erickson at Arizona State.
"When (Harbaugh) he called me to join him at Stanford, I was getting a lot of calls from NFL teams," Roman told The Press during an interview in October. "People would be shocked at some of the opportunities I was offered. But something in my gut told me to go to Stanford and it was the right move. I learned a lot and had a chance to develop my offensive philosophy.
"It's the same thing with the Niners. I was in line for the head coaching job at Pitt (University of Pittsburgh) and was on the list at Stanford. But this was also the right move. I like to say that we're all building something special together here. It's a great situation."
Roman became the 49ers' ninth offensive coordinator in as many seasons when Harbaugh hired him. While the offense has hardly been flashy, quarterback Alex Smith and San Francisco ended an eight-year playoff drought - with the 49ers' 10 total turnovers ranking fewest in the NFL this season.
Before joining Harbaugh at Stanford in 2009, the 1990 Holy Spirit graduate spent the 2008 season as the offensive coordinator at his alma mater under then-Spartans coach Charlie Roman (no relation).
"I went from coaching (former Ravens All Pro offensive tackle) Jonathan Ogden to coaching a pair of 14-year-old freshmen running backs (current seniors Donta Pollack and Nigel Jones)," Roman said with a laugh in October. "But it was great to be back home and help Charlie out. I could tell those kids were going to be terrific even back then."

Census Shows Whites Lose US Majority Among Babies
By HOPE YEN Associated Press
WASHINGTON June 23, 2011 (AP)
For the first time, minorities make up a majority of babies in the U.S., part of a sweeping race change and growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and predominantly minority youths that could reshape government policies.
Preliminary census estimates also show the share of African-American households headed by women — made up of mostly single mothers — now exceeds African-American households with married couples, a sign of declining U.S. marriages overall but also continuing challenges for black youths without involved fathers.
The findings, based on the latest government data, offer a preview of final 2010 census results being released this summer that provide detailed breakdowns by age, race and householder relationships such as same-sex couples.
Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by midcentury.
"We're moving toward an acknowledgment that we're living in a different world than the 1950s, where married or two-parent heterosexual couples are now no longer the norm for a lot of kids, especially kids of color," said Laura Speer, coordinator of the Kids Count project for the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation.

"It's clear the younger generation is very demographically different from the elderly, something to keep in mind as politics plays out on how programs for the elderly get supported," she said. "It's critical that children are able to grow to compete internationally and keep state economies rolling."
Currently, non-Hispanic whites make up just under half of all children 3 years old, which is the youngest age group shown in the Census Bureau's October 2009 annual survey, its most recent. In 1990, more than 60 percent of children in that age group were white.
William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution who analyzed the data, said figures in the 2009 survey can sometimes be inexact compared with the 2010 census, which queries the entire nation. But he said when factoring in the 2010 data released so far, minorities outnumber whites among babies under age 2.
The preliminary figures are based on an analysis of the Current Population Survey as well as the 2009 American Community Survey, which sampled 3 million U.S. households to determine that whites made up 51 percent of babies younger than 2. After taking into account a larger-than-expected jump in the minority child population in the 2010 census, the share of white babies falls below 50 percent.
Twelve states and the District of Columbia now have white populations below 50 percent among children under age 5 — Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Maryland, Georgia, New Jersey, New York and Mississippi. That's up from six states and the District of Columbia in 2000.
At current growth rates, seven more states could flip to "minority-majority" status among small children in the next decade: Illinois, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, South Carolina and Delaware.
By contrast, whites make up the vast majority of older Americans — 80 percent of seniors 65 and older and roughly 73 percent of people ages 45-64. Many states with high percentages of white seniors also have particularly large shares of minority children, including Arizona, Nevada, California, Texas and Florida.

Severe storms cause power outages across Central New York
Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:51:12 GMT —
Several thousand utility customers were without power overnight after severe thunderstorms rolled across upstate New York, knocking out electricity service to thousands of homes and businesses.
The first outages were reported Monday evening as a line of storms began pummeling Central New York with rain, golf-ball sized hail and high winds. The heavy rain caused streets and underpasses to flood in the city of Rome. Trees and wires were downed on the north shore of Oneida Lake along Route 49, near the Village of Cleveland.
National Grid spokesman Patrick Stella says approximately 12,000 outages were reported across Central New York at the height of the storms Monday night. He says about 3,000 customers are still without power as of 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, mostly in suburban and rural Oneida County.
The storms knocked down power lines across the Thruway at Herkimer, closing Interstate 90 in both directions for about 30 minutes early Tuesday.

West Coast Region ~ Bay St. George District
Historical Information
Petition by Residents of Bay St. George to the Governor of St. Pierre and Miquelon, 1871The following, from a document held in the Archives at St. Pierre, has been translated from French text with the names placed into sequential order. Where applicable, I have taken the liberty of altering the French names (as shown in the footnote) to correspond with their anglicized equivalents as they are known to the present day. As can be readily seen some of these family names are of origin other than French but a wife, mother, or grandparent of the listed person would be of French descent.
Allan T. Stride, Ottawa
To his Excellency, the Honorable Governor of St. Pierre & Miquelon, Honorable Governor That it pleases your excellency. That we, resident fisherman of Bay St. George beseech your Excellency, that enemies of the poor residents living in this Bay have sent petitions to the Government of St. John's asking that laws be introduced putting the Bay under its control. That these laws can not have any other outcome but to make us pay taxes on all merchandise that we bring to market and also on our fishing boats and nets. That the Magistrate and collectors will only hinder your fisherman who have been fishing many years in the Bay. That we are living here in a Territory which does not belong to us and in which we do not even have the rights to fish if you wish to prevent it. That we consider ourselves French subjects rather than English in view of the fact we are living on your coasts and that we are nearly all French or descendants of French families That peace reigns in the Bay and we do not see where it is necessary that it be from the Magistrate, that the resident ministers of the different congregations are respected by all the inhabitants of the country and all other persons who desire to live here. That your humble petitioners pray your Excellency will surely have pity and that you will do all in your power to stop the Governor of St. John's from passing any nominations whatsoever for Bay St. George nor for any other area on the West Coast of Newfoundland.

text: Dangerous Products $5.9 Million for Fork Lift Driver August.25. 2011 R.S. was injured on the job. He was working in Hollywood, Florida. He stepped on a forklift which jumped backward and crushed his left foot. He spent 10 days in the hospital, and his doctors were unable to save his foot, which had to be amputated. Worker's compensation paid his medical bills. His attorneys also sued Nationwide Lift Trucks, the company that serviced the forklift. Nationwide worked on the forklift the day before the accident. His attorneys found evidence that Nationwide's repairs to the brake system caused the forklift to malfunction. The jury found against Nationwide. The jury's verdict ordered Nationwide to pay $5,900,000 to R.S. Jury Awards Man Who Claimed Loose Tile Caused Fall April.14. 2011 A jury awarded $876,771 to a man who fell after stepping on a shifting tile. In 2008, Jeffrey Coffman, then 65, was walking past a fountain in a lobby at the Diplomat Resort Country Club when he fell. He claimed the tile was improperly installed over a drainage device for the fountain, creating a dangerous seesaw effect. He fractured his right hip, requiring a full hip replacement. Coffman claimed he also will require another more difficult surgery. Defense counsel argued Coffman was to blame. The country club also claimed Titan Stone failed to reinstall the tile properly after waterproofing the area. Titan claimed the country club knew of the tile problem. The jury found the country club 65 percent liable and Titan 35 percent liable. Case: Coffman v. Diplomat Properties LP Case No.: 062008CA024907 Plaintiff's Personal Injury Attorney: Todd R. Falzone and Eric S. Rosen, Kelley/Uustal, Fort Lauderdale Defense lawyers: Scott D. Rembold, Bogert & Rembold, Coral Gables; Robert Squire, Houck Anderson, Miami Jury Awards $876,771 in Trip and Fall Case October.06. 2010 Kelley/Uustal attorneys, Todd Falzone and Eric Rosen, won a jury verdict of $876,771.23 for Jeffrey Coffman, who suffered an unusual fall at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood. While at the Diplomat to attend a wedding, the 65 year old plaintiff was walking with his grandson near a fountain. A tile on the floor shifted and he fell. He sustained a fractured left hip. The defendants, the Diplomat Resort and Tile & Masonry of Florida, refused to accept responsibility. They argued that he should not have been walking in the water fountain area. Kelley/Uustal attorneys were able to obtain the hotel's security tapes through discovery. "The key to the case was the surveillance tape. Once I played it for the jury in opening statement the defense was in deep trouble," Falzone said. The Honorable Judge John B. Bowman presided over the seven day jury trial. Kelley/Uustal attorneys, Todd Falzone and Eric Rosen, were able to prove the Diplomat and Tile & Masonry of Florida negligently constructed and maintained the floor tiles. The defendants are expected to appeal. One Woman's Fight Against the Fraud and Deceit of Big Tobacco September.18. 2012 For nearly half of the 20th century, big tobacco deliberately disguised the facts which proved cigarettes and other tobacco-related products increase the chances of developing lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and emphysema. In fact, large tobacco corporations aimed many of their ads at society's young, focusing on teens, women, and children. Due to the desire for profit gained by user's money, the company risked the lives of millions of men and women everywhere. Unfortunately, the men and women susceptible to such advertisements during this time are now dying. Research shows that every year, 440,000 Americans die due to tobacco products such as cigarettes. However, now that some are beginning to speak out against these harmful advertisements from the past, Big Tobacco denies any of the accusations that have been made. One woman tells her story of when she was a little girl and used to buy cigarettes from a candy store down the street from her home nearly 70 years ago. She explains that in those days, smoking was advertised as a healthy activity that even doctors and dentists condoned. After seven years of fighting to hold tobacco companies accountable for corporate fraud and deceit, and for their actions of convincing people that tobacco products are healthy, the 84-year-old woman passed away. Her efforts were to not only recover compensation for her own harm, but to pave the way for other cigarette company victims who may be suffering similar detriment. Although the woman passed away before her case was tried, her children continue to fight for the rights of those harmed by the Big Tobacco companies. Currently, her children are pursuing a wrongful death claim. The South Florida trial attorneys from Kelley/Uustal offer their condolences to the friends and families of those who have been victims of Big Tobacco. Abbott Sued for False Claims Regarding the Prescription Drug TriCor August.22. 2012 A pharmaceutical company called Abbott Laboratories has pled guilty and agreed to pay the United States federal and state authorities $1.5 million for illegal marketing and false claims regarding the marketing of prescription drugs. Now, the same company is facing a lawsuit for a similar situation involving the drug TriCor, a fibrate approved by the FDA to help patients with elevated triglycerides and other types of cholesterol imbalances. A former employee brought the claim to attorneys at Kelley/Uustal and Nicolson & Eastin, LLP. The claim stated that Abbott allegedly marketed the drug to doctors in deceptive manners such as kickbacks, off-label marketing and more. Studies and research determined that this deceptive act accounted for millions of dollars in prescription costs that were paid by the state and federal programs, Medicare and Medicaid. The lawsuit would seek to benefit the United States government by repaying Medicare and Medicaid the prescription costs that were paid due to deceitful marketing tactics. Because the lawsuit was filed by a whistleblower, federal law will provide protection and compensation to the employee who presented the evidence. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania before the Honorable C. Darnell Jones, II. Kelley / Uustal Represents a Client in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Case December.02. 2011 John Uustal of Kelley / Uustal represented a Boca Raton man in who suffered injuries after carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty keyless ignition system.

Poem by: SavvyApple
A Different You
We act different at home.
We act different at school.
We act different in class.
We act different everywhere,
anywhere we go.Who are we really,
if we can act so different?
Are you the shy one
Are you the quiet one.
Are you the class clown?
Or the loud one?
The angry one
or the nice one?
You act shy in class.
You act loud at lunch.
You act independent at home.
You act funny at school.
Who are you really,
if there are all your
How do you know who you are?
Which one is really
and which ones are fake?
Your friends don't know,
They've only seen one.
Your family doesn't know,
They've only seen one.
Your teachers don't know,
They've only seen one.
You don't know,
and you've seen all.
Which one is real?
Which one is fake?
Which one is really you?
Or is there no you at all?
You don't know.
You've seen few.

I always thought i knew myself. But now...who the hell AM I?????
it really makes you wonder if you really do have a different personality with every person in your life. Well done. Loved it!!
that was great, it really makes you think.. we act different with friends then we do with family, but when your friends and family collide, you make another personality to suit the two. anyway, i loved it!!
sooo true. . . lol cant evn begin to say how much i can relate :P good job~*
brilliantly written :D And brilliant topic to write about. It reflects what everybody feels about everybody else. Everybody has had that feeling. I enjoyed it :D U shud keep writing more poems :D x
Ok, now I'm sure you're not 13...
Great! :)
This applies to so many people, and you express it beautifully. Your repetition in particular really added to the poem.
Thank you for the great read. :)
Hmmmm.... Makes you wonder what would happen if you changed your personality around certain people. How would they react?
Nice one.
I died inside again .-. You sure are one for killin' me Apples. You make me think too much. IT'S THE WEEKEND! AHHH! STOP MAKING ME THINK! jk jk, but seriously, I love this. (How many times have I said that?). You are completely right about the whole personality thing. You act a certain way depending on where you are and how you feel. I must say that I don't mind it, but it is confusing. Maybe you can use your epic powers to hep me figure that out .-. Until I decide to read your super long stories ~Mecia
LOL IM SORRY I DON'T LIKE BEING A VIRTUAL MURDERER! XDDD thank you LOL. XDD it's confusing right? I was thinking about that a lot and i was like wait who da heck am i. LOL i shall try to use my epic powers. XDDD they're really long ik... thanks so much for reading anyway!!!
a lot of unanswered questions there, but yes who are we really. I know one thing is that wherever I am I am nice and most of the times people act silly with their friends and sometimes not with others.
really great and interesting poem!!!
keep up the great work :)
Splendid. I think a lot of our different acting has to do with social standards; I'm certainly not going to swear and be rambunctious with my grandparents. it's just not acceptable. But a lot of it has to do with our own comfort zones and level of confidence.
A great thinking piece :) Keep writing. Your talent can only grow.
I can totally relate to this poem; ever accidentally mix up your personalities?
Beautiful piece, I'm happy someone else understands the complicated student life of teenagers and can relate it to everyone
I knew for sure that I was different at home than at school and different around my best friend and my dad, but if you think about it, we're always the same on the inside. I have a core of crazy randomness, so I am usually only like that around Mindy (my bff). If I were bold enough, I would act like that everywhere. Very nice, I enjoyed it.
Ha, this one is really quite fun to read! I have to say I can have multiple sides to myself, but it's usually a mood thing, I don't know. I think I might have to become a fan now. I would put myself in the quiet, shy, and nice responses to the poem's questions. Fantastic work!

Gupta Empire
Located in India right after the Mauryan Empire.
The Gupta Empire was around for roughly 300 years (300A.D. to 600A.D.)
Gupta Contributions:
One Gupta contribution was the Arabic Numbers. These are important because they are the number system we use today. Another was the concept of zero (0). The Gupta realized that they needed a number to represent nothing, which they came up with zero.
