The Best 20 Vegan Dessert Ideas For Your Sweet-Tooth
Cookie Dough Fudge
You'll Never Guess the Secret High-Protein Ingredient in This Cookie Dough Fudge
I'm not even going to tell you it's made with lentils. Nope I'm only going to tell you how sweet and smooth this fudge is, how perfectly doughy, just like you remember. It's an added bonus that the lentils add an amazing creaminess and low-cal protein and fiber, making this dessert healthy enough to be snack-worthy.
Mini Vegan Caramel Apples
You only need four ingredients: dates, soy milk, apples, and the topping of your choice. These vegan treats are actually healthy enough to have for a snack. And at 51 calories a piece, go ahead and have a few.
DIY Healthy Almond Joy
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't. But I don't know anyone who'd feel like a PGPR or a sodium metabsulfite! Both ingredients are found in a store-bought Almond Joy. Whatever they are, they sound unnatural and unappetising. Skip the ingredients you've never heard of and make these Almond Joys and Mounds at home.
Sugar-Free Cookies
These cookies are made with dates instead of white sugar, and ground rolled oats instead of flour, but no one will know it! All they'll know is that they want another (and another!) of these crispy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside cookies.

First 'Grease: Live' Images Reveal Sandy, Danny and Rizzo
[tps_header]FOX has given fans a first look at Aaron Tveit, Julianne Hough and Vanessa Hudgens as their Grease: Live alter egos, Danny Zucko, Sandy and Rizzo, respectively.
The trio will lead the cast of FOX's live performance of the classic story about a summer romance-turned-real romance, in a true case of opposites attract, at a 1950s high school.
"I'm thrilled and honored to be joining this incredibly talented team of actors in reimagining this classic and beloved musical," star Tveit said back when his casting was announced during the summer. "Playing Danny Zuko is a dream role and I can't wait to be a part of all the fun that comes along with performing live on television."
Grease: Live is filled with familiar, talented faces, also starring Keke Palmer as Marty, Carlos PenaVega as Kenickie, Carly Rae Jepson as Frenchie, Mario Lopez as Vince Fontaine and more!
Take a look at the first shots from the production below:
Grease: Live airs Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 (7:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

I've always been in love with lighthouses and starfish.
It's been a dream of mine to create the most delicious nautical themed wedding cake, and finally, I got a request for creating one!
Not only the client is a favorite repeat client, but her events, always, ALWAYS are amazing.
With this order, she intended to recreate a "Nantucket" themed bridal affair,
This cake not only looked beautiful on the outside...it looked and smelled, even better inside, because my most moist and delicious Almond Sponge was paired with a heavenly Praline Mousseline with Crunch and layered with Semi Sweet Belgian Chocolate!
The venue was the sophisticated and gorgeous Camargo Country Club, and it was held on a terrace overlooking the in the fairways of their golf course. The afternoon was so pleasant, the weather couldn't be more perfect!
For a full gallery and close ups of this cake, visit Sugar Realm, Designer Cakes Cincinnati - Nautical Wedding Cake
I can't wait to hear every detail about this event!
For now, I am ready for a good night sleep :)
Our Craftsy class " Make-ahead techniques for stunning cakes" is LIVE!
Hello, My name is Ileana Saldivia. Venezuelan born and adopted daughter of Cincinnati, OH, where I reside with my husband and kids. I'm an Architect by trade and a professional baker. I created this Sugar Realm all for myself, and now, I share it with you! It's like my third child, and it makes me IMMENSELY happy. Thank you for being part of my sugar kingdom.


text: A bad give away, a bad line change, a bad rebound; three mistakes which the Tampa Bay Lightning pounced on and converted into goals. For all intents and purposes they were the difference in a game that was there for us to win.The game certainly started out as expected, with a torrid pace being set by both teams. Smolinski got our first goal and we had a clear if not large edge in play. Smolinski and Eaves were the two players who definitely showed the most improvement from game one. Especially Eaves who looked much more comfortable and at ease handling the puck. Kelly was definitely snake-bitten, having half a dozen scoring and passing opportunities that he just wasn't able to cash in on. The fourth line again displayed their ability to apply offensive pressure, Unfortunately you don't get points for pressure, and between the three they are going to have to learn to dig deep and bury their chances.A major turning point was Tampa's first goal which came from turning a poor passing decision from Volchenkov. We never really regained the edge in play from that point on.After that goal the game became very even, with each team exchanging goals. The third period started with Murray changing line combinations. He put the Big Line back together, followed by the Fisher Line followed by the Kid line. Talk about mixed feelings. Of course I like these lines, but the third period of a tied play-off game seems an odd place to start throwing players together. It was not like the game was getting away from us.On their second shift of the period, the Fisher Line came through with a beauty, with Schaefer potting one on a great feed from Havlat. Havlat was definitely our best player out there tonight. Unfortunately the Kid Line, who looked good for the short time they were out there, did not last long. On their second or third shift, Kelly was involved in two violent collisions and had to leave the game. My impression was that he got his bell rung hard, but should be back for the next game.The Big Line definitely looked rusty out there, and got caught running around their own end. It was when they tried to come off the ice that Tampa got an odd man rush and scored the equalizer. For the Big Line it was not until the last part of the game that they started being able to move the puck around like their old selves.To me the major negative was the play of our defence. At the least they seemed to be the major source of anguish while watching this game. Poor puck movement decisions, an inability to handle the puck on the blue-line which squandered many periods of offensive pressure. On defence they seemed way too timid in challenging attacking forwards, backing right up into Emery, allowing Tampa Bay snipers to move in and let fly at will.Hopefully the game helped destroy the myth that you can just throw the Big Line together any time you want, and they will just pick up where they left off. Players are not interchangeable machine parts. You cannot expect players to play two intense periods with players of a certain style and aptitude, and then expect them to meld instantly with two other players. The fact that we only got two shots in the third period shows that this was an experiment that did not work out.Obviously for the next game there will have to be a decision made. Will he go back to the original lines? or will he start the Big Line?. I am certainly for the latter. During the first period one could not help but think if that was Alfredson, instead of Kelly, at the receiving end of those passes, that this game could have taken on a whole different texture from the start. One also has to wonder if Arnason has learned his lesson and is ready to play. Can him playing with Vermette and Neil on the fourth line give that little bit of extra to start putting the puck in net.But in the end whatever lines he decides to go with at the start of next game, he has to stick with them, and change only if things really start to fall apart.

On this page is a Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator.
Input time spans from 1 month to 60 years and 11 months for a summary of rolling returns over your choice of periods. Navigate to the 'Chart' tab for the graphed set of returns for your selections across all return quantiles.
The calculator also features a way to show individual period returns. If you select a month in the 'Detailed Results for Periods Ending' drop-down, the tool prints a detailed list of your selected time periods ending in that month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
How to Use the Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator has three essential and a number of optional inputs.
- Choose whether to take into consideration reinvested dividends as well as inflation (as measured by CPI).
- Select the time periods for the tool to compute summary statistics
- 'Add More Periods' will add another period entry
- On the entry, the 'Remove' button will delete the associated period
- Hit 'Calculate Historical Returns', then navigate between tabs to see data or the chart
Unless otherwise noted, all returns in the tool are annualized returns. Note the implication: spikes and drops in a single month will be amplified as if the trend continued for an entire year.
(Just be aware of the phenomenon. There was never a month that actually returned 11,000%.)
Inputs to the Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
- Reinvest Dividends – By default, we model dividends paid and reinvested in simulated 'shares' of the Dow Jones. We do not attempt to model taxes, fees and other costs faced by a typical investor.
- Adjust for Inflation (CPI) – We use the CPI as our approximation for inflation. By default we turn inflation adjustment on, but if you would like to adjust returns using some other deflator just turn it off before exporting the data to another tool.
- Detailed Results for Periods Ending – If you select a month from the list, the tool will exhaustively list all periods in our data ending on that date.
Outputs from the Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
- Using (CPI) Inflation Adjustment – Were these results inflation adjusted?
- Calculating Dividend Reinvestment – Do the calculated results factor in dividend reinvestment?
- Monthly Realized Historical Volatility – For month over month periods, we have calculated the historical volatility. (See here)
- Annual Realized Historical Volatility – Ditto for year over year results.
- Summary Statistics – The average, median, maximum and minimum return as well as the standard deviation of returns for all of your selected periods.
- Percentile Table – The quantile of returns for every period you selected. The return quoted is beaten by the percentage of rolling periods in the far left column.
- (Optional) Annualized Returns Ending… – If you selected a month in the Detailed Results pulldown, we will also show a table with exhaustive returns ending in the chosen month. This is most popular using 'January' as an ending month with periods such as 1, 5, 10, or 20 years.
Charting Results from the Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
- The ordered sets take you from the 2nd percentile to the 98th percentile of returns 2 percent at a time
- The tool graphs all selected time periods on the same chart.
- To get around a hidden div quirk with Google Charts, the chart redraws each time you click the 'Chart' tab. (Beware if you are on mobile.)
Methodology for this calculator follows the Dow Jones Industrial Average dividend reinvestment calculator. When the underlying data updates there this tool will follow automatically.
Conclusions from the Dow Jones Industrial Average Historical Return Calculator
For all of the knocks in the financial press on price weighted indices, the market-cap weighted S&P 500 (see the S&P 500 version of the tool here) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have performed similarly over the long term.
These deep dives in historical returns prove the old advice: the longer you wait, historically, the smoother your historical returns. A quick look at the graph shows that the historical return slope flattens as you increase the time frames.
On a practical level, money you need in the short term is best left out of equities. However, over a longer term 30-40 year career you'll likely need to take some risks with your money exposed to the stock markets.
Do you see anything interesting in the results? Are you surprised that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have such similar results in the long term?

Two species of bed bug occur in Australia, Cimex lectularis and Cimex hemipterus. Bed bugs are relatively small insects, about 5 mm in size. The body is dorsoventrally (from back to front) flattened and they have no wings. They have obvious eyes and sucking mouthparts, and are reddish brown in colour. Bed bugs are blood feeders and are most active at night or in the early hours before dawn, but if starved for some time they may be active during the day.
To obtain a blood meal the bed bug pierces the skin of the host and injects saliva. This saliva has anticoagulant properties which makes the blood flow more easily. Bed bugs ingest their meal rapidly only taking 5-10 minutes to engorge themselves. A blood meal is required at each of the five stages of nymphal development. Female bed bugs lay several eggs in small batches, which hatch in about 10 days. Adult bed bugs can live for approximately 6-12 months. Because of their size bed bugs can get into small cracks and crevices.
Reactions to bed bug bites can vary from no reaction at all to severe irritation and localised swelling at the bite site.
Spiders are arachnids not insects, but both spiders and insects belong to the largest group of animals on Earth, the arthropods (Ancient Greek: arthro = joint, podos = footed) – animals with hard external skeletons and jointed limbs .

Skills For Medical Release Of Information Specialists
Today's medical release of information (ROI) specialists wear many hats and must possess many skills. At a very high level, ROI specialists must be highly proficient in medical terminology and the specific components of an electronic health record (EHR). They must also be able to perform data entry as well as navigate through a variety of computer systems efficiently and effectively. As we continue to venture into an increasingly electronic and ICD-10-driven environment, ROI specialists must focus on these four skills/competency areas to be successful:
- General attention to detail. ROI specialists must be able to quickly identify and verify the information being requested. During a time when records have become incredibly voluminous thanks to added data capture, attention to detail is critical. ROI specialists must ensure accuracy by cross-checking the name and date of birth on the request with the patient's name and date of birth in the hospital information system. Before sending the information, ROI specialists must verify the fax number, mailing address, or email address of the recipient. They must also check every page prior to releasing the information to confirm that no other patient information has been included in the packet.
- Understanding of state and federal rules and regulations. ROI specialists must be able to identify legally-protected information and know when to request a court order or the patient's specific consent.
- Knowledge of hospital-specific policies and procedures. ROI specialists must follow policies and procedures at all times. These policies and procedures may include different definitions for sensitive information as well as the legal health record. Policies also define specific expectations for ROI turnaround time.
- Ability to prioritize requests. As patients become more engaged in their healthcare, the volume of requests for information will likely increase over time. ROI specialists must be able to prioritize these requests to ensure patient satisfaction. For example, a patient who has requested that information be sent to a referring physician for an appointment in one hour should receive priority over a patient whose insurance requests information by the end of the day. ROI specialists must be able to use their judgment when responding in these types of situations.
Throughout the transition to EHRs, the ROI function has become increasingly complex, requiring significant attention to detail and new skills for ROI professionals. Successful ROI specialists are those who remain open to change and who are willing to adapt over time.
For details about ROI's involvement with EHRs, be sure to check out our webinar on demand "The 3 Rights of ROI in EHR Environments".

Staying toasty in my favorite Michael Kors leather jacket and J. Crew dotted scarf!
Gasparilla Parade
Saturday was my first Gasparilla experience and I'm officially spoiled! We got to ride through the entire parade route on one of the floats and throw beads out to the crowd. I threw so many strands of beads that my arms are sore today. The weather was beautiful and I have my fingers crossed that we get to do it again next year!

Hockey 'N Heels
What a fun night! The Tampa Bay Lightning hosted Hockey 'N Heels - a ladies only event for female fans to see what goes on behind the scenes and learn about the game of hockey.
We all gathered for a quick Hockey 101 with Lightning legend Dave Andreychuk and then broke into smaller groups.
My group went straight to the ice to meet a few of the players and try to take a few shots on goal.
|The video screen from the ice.
|Mark Barberio
|Ondrej Palat
|J.T. Brown
We moved on to a question and answer session with a couple of the coaches' wives which was really insightful. They were so humble and open with us about what their daily lives are like.
We saw the newly renovated locker room and talked with one of the trainers in the team's weight room. The weight room was definitely a highlight for me because I got to push the 200+ pound sled!
|Hallway to the locker room.

We were treated to appetizers and drinks after our tour and given these really cute shirts!
Can't wait to go back next year!

Four journalists at Time Out London have taken voluntary redundancy as the listings magazine makes cutbacks.
Theatre editor Jane Edwards, television editor Emma Perry, nightlife editor Dave Swindells, and deputy film editor Wally Hammond have chosen to leave.
In November, Time Out announced plans to cut up to 13 of its 165 London-based staff.
The cost-cutting coincided with a move to integrate its web and print operations.
Edwards – who has worked for Time Out for 25 years – told Press Gazette: 'The chance came up to take voluntary redundancy and I thought 'It's probably a good time to go'.
'There are going to be big changes here, and I thought it was best. I am extremely sad to leave, but I have no complaints about the way I have been treated.
'I have been here a long time and I thought it was time for them to move on, and for me to move on."
Edwards has no confirmed plans after leaving Time Out, but said: 'I certainly haven't lost my interest in theatre and hope to write about it."
A 30-day consultation period with the National Union of Journalists ended in December, but the extent of the cutbacks will not be finalised until March.

New businesses, which have been freshly founded, and set in operation, are stereotyped to always have unprofitable outcomes. Nonetheless, this is never always the case. Indeed, new businesses can thrive, just as successfully as businesses which have been in existence for a longer period of time, do; such business owners, just have to be aware of factors they could imbibe, to make sure that the business succeeds. Some of these factors, are actually, not far fetched. They include:
If anyone, at all, intends for something, or someone, to be known by others, such a person cannot just sit in their houses, cross their arms, and expect their intentions, and ambition to come to fruition. Something has to be done about it. This 'something', being talked about here, is known as publicity, and not just mere publicity, but a well-grounded one. For a newly founded business, well-grounded activities for publicity, must be established. You must go the whole nine yards, to make sure your business is viewed, or talked about, by anyone, and everyone. This means that you must utilize all forms of publicity you could use to showcase your business to the world. To be firmly grounded, if the resources are available, get a public relations officer, to handle the publicity of your business. If not, make sure you do not lazy around, or lag behind, in making use of the various other methods, which can be very beneficial in putting your business out there. Some of these methods are television, and radio adverts, blogs, and websites pop-ups, and posters, or handbills, among others.
There is a popular saying that goes 'A good team makes the dream work'. Before you can think of growing your company, you have to have thought about the people who would help you achieve this growth. New businesses, must note that it is important to gather the right team of people, to move the business forward. Employing dedicated persons, who do not wait to be told, before they think outside the box, is a sure way of ensuring that the business has a rapid growth.
As a new business owner, you must be ready to adapt to whatever kind of market you find yourself in. All you have to do, is just figure out ways that would make your business thrive, or stand out, among others, in the same market. Be agile, in your approach to change, as this exposes you to various other strategies, to excelling, in your business. Appeal to whatever is trending, or whatever the people love, at any particular time, or age, and fit that into the operation of your business.
In recent times, social media seems to be the order of the day, in Nigeria, alone, over 100 million individuals are users of the internet, and social media, as well. Maximize this opportunity, where there are lots of people, who have access to viewing all about your business, on one social media platform, or more, at the same time. Your business must have a twitter account, Facebook, Instagram, as well as a LinkedIn account. Through these forms of media, you can project your business, more, to the whole world, which eventually, increases the bottom line of your business, as people would start to patronize you, pending on how you entice them, and convince them to do so, through social media.
This includes the customer feedback, as well as how they out rightly show you, in passing, that they feel about patronizing your business. When a customer has a great experience, they would definitely want to come back so many other times, in the future, to do business with you, again. Customers' perception of your business goes a long way in making, or breaking your business, altogether. Consequently, the customer experiences must be noted, this helps the business owner decipher where the business is lagging, and what areas of the business' services, customers do not like, or slightly, have a problem with. Learning the customers' experience, can help fix the problem, or avert that issue, completely. Always respond to the needs of your customers. If customer needs are ignored, the business may never progress, for the simple reason that every business appeals to a certain target of customers, and it is whatever those customers want, the business, must work towards delivering.

HA NOI — The National Assembly's Standing Committee debated the necessity and subject of a drafted law on Conciliation Work at the local level yesterday, the fourth day of its 10th session.
Minister of Justice Ha Hung Cuong said the ordinance that has been in effect for 13 years has failed to properly regulate the rights and tasks of conciliators and attract more participants.
So it is necessary to adopt a new bill soon which specifies how reconciliation work should operate, he said.
Uong Chu Luu, deputy chairman of NA, said this bill would heighten the effectiveness of reconciliation activities, which help maintain social order and security and enhance unity within communities.
However, Phung Quoc Hien, chairman of the NA's Finance and Budget Committee, said the drafting board needs to carefully consider whether new amendments to the ordinance would be better than adopting a law.
Head of NA Office Nguyen Hanh Phuc shared Hien's opinion but added that reconciliation work changes depending on the situation, so it should not be subject to strict legal guidelines.
Regarding the subject of the bill, law makers suggested that there should be specific regulations on how civil organisations (ie. front fatherland committees, youth unions, women's unions) participate in conciliation activities at the grassroots level. Also, co-ordination should be enhanced between reconciliators and these civil organizations.
Phuc said the draft law should focus on mobilising civil organisations to reconcile community disputes. — VNS

text: I was recently given a genuine copy of Windows Vista Ultimate. I poped the DVD into a PC running XP, and decided to finally upgrade to Vista, i just couldn't be bothered in the first place. Anyway, I'ts currently running fine yet i have a major problem. The copy had installed vista with Arabic;something i didn't know prior to installation. So i opened up windows update, and downloaded the English addon, it downloaded fines, but installation gave me an error. I thought this happened because i did it through windows update, so i went ahead and downloaded the sperate MUI file, but i'm also getting the same error when installing. The error is just a window saying that installation wa in successful, took me some time to read and translate it. Has anyone tried installing MUI files on Vista Ultimate Successfully? And before i get a lot of links for letmegooglethatforyou, i already tried and google wasn't being my friend, it only gave me a bunch of results on how and showing the steps to install the MUI files, which i tired and it was giving me the above error. Plus all of the windows help is in Arabic Despite the fact i live in a arabic-speaking country i barely know how to read the damn language. Anway its all weird since EVEYTHING is from right to left, even the start orb xD Any help is greatly appreciate, i'd really like to enjoy this copy of Windows Vista.

A Steampunk adventure by Cherie Priest.
Maria Isabella Boyd's success as a Confederate spy has made her too famous for further espionage work, and now her employment options are slim. Exiled, widowed, and on the brink of poverty…she reluctantly goes to work for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago.
Adding insult to injury, her first big assignment is commissioned by the Union Army. In short, a federally sponsored transport dirigible is being violently pursued across the Rockies and Uncle Sam isn't pleased. The Clementine is carrying a top secret load of military essentials—essentials which must be delivered to Louisville, Kentucky, without delay.
Intelligence suggests that the unrelenting pursuer is a runaway slave who's been wanted by authorities on both sides of the Mason-Dixon for fifteen years. In that time, Captain Croggon Beauregard Hainey has felonied his way back and forth across the continent, leaving a trail of broken banks, stolen war machines, and illegally distributed weaponry from sea to shining sea.
And now it's Maria's job to go get him.
He's dangerous quarry and she's a dangerous woman, but when forces conspire against them both, they take a chance and form an alliance. She joins his crew, and he uses her connections. She follows his orders. He takes her advice.
And somebody, somewhere, is going to rue the day he crossed either one of them.
is a part a of very popular
The Clockwork Century
-series by author Cherie Priest. I picked up the book at random at the library, so I had no prior knowledge about the author or her work. I've read some Steampunk before, and I knew the story would most likely involve airships, goggles and corsets.
In short,
is a fun, fast-paced adventure with two very strong and charismatic leads, and some very well-written action scenes. Priest does a good job building a world that feels gritty and tormented by the Civil War. It's a world where you cannot trust anyone and everybody is out for their own gain. It's also a world with some impressive steam-driven technology, but when you stop to think about it, the technology does little do improve people's lives. You get the impression that science and technology only exist so that the military can make better and stronger weapons.
The two main characters – Hainey and Boyd – have great chemistry, and I like the interaction between these two.
In the first few chapters, Priest builds up the tension before the heroes' initial confrontation in the book's second act. And when they do meet, that's when the adventure really begins.
The dynamic between the main characters is perhaps the strongest side of
. Here you have two people, who are both very smart and very dangerous, and are on the opposite sides of the conflict but they have no choice but to work together in order to survive. How is this going to play out?
The supportning characters really only have one purpose, and that is to move the story forward. Except for Hainey's two crew members, who are interesting and charismatic in their own right.
Now, I do have two issues with
. For one, the story feels way too rushed.
The first act isn't too fast-paced, and Priest takes her time in setting up the plot and introducing us to the characters. But once the heroes do meet, we are being rushed through the plot. There are no breathers, no time to get to know the characters a little better.
I've read an
with Priest, where she explains why the book is so short:
"Subterranean Press wanted to produce a one-off set in the Clockwork Century universe, and I wanted to let them. However, I have a first-refusal clause in my contract with Macmillan – which stipulates that Macmillan gets first look/first pass on anything over X amount of words. Therefore, I had to keep Clementine under that word count, in order to make sure that no noses were tweaked."
I understand now the limitations that the author was faced with, but the story would have benefitted from a slower pacing.
My second grievance is that there is no real villain. Let me rephrase that: there are villains, but they are no match for the heroes. With Boyd and Hainey being such badasses, their adversaries needed to be at least as strong, if not stronger. Instead we're treated to a few very bland, one-dimensional baddies.
Despite its flaws, I enjoyed
a lot. Plus, it's a great tease for the rest of the series.
My rating: 3/5

Daily Art Chore
After 13 years without a studio (other than Imago artist-run printshop) I suddenly had the opportunity to convert a room in my house to a such space. When it was set up I was excited. I went in and sat down. What shall I do? Nothing came. I just sat there. The next day I went in again thinking things would surely go better. I was uneasy, antsy and I looked out the window for what felt like at least an hour. I decided I would have to give myself a daily art chore to get used to the space and structured studio time. I noticed I had a lot of pictures of smiling girls with dogs in the house (I don't really know the reason for this) so I thought I would start there. Everyday for 28 days I would go into the studio pick a google stock picture of a smiling girl with a dog, draw it and then write the corresponding URL code on the page next to it. The code is simply to develop my very limited patience and to elongate the daily studio time until I am used to it all.

Choosing the school to study in is often much more simpler than choosing the university. Maybe because that decision is taken by parents or maybe the choice is not so wide and hard: you just attend the school situated in the district you live in.
When the question of choosing the institution arises, you are already adult enough to make this important decision on your own. It will affect your future, it will open the certain way, it will influence on what people will surround you and what life story will be written by you. So, let's consider some tips to help you with forming your unique personality.
First of all, think about your interests. In your age, you have already had particular interests, skills, knowledge, and experience. Explore which higher education institution might help you to develop them and focus all efforts on necessary direction. Search, which universities have departments that are in your field of interests. Think where do you want to be in 15 years and how can this specialty help you get there.
Our essay writing service helps you. You can consider such locations:
The decision with a selection of location depends on many factors. Think if it is necessary be within 15 minutes from parents or being few hours away from home is an ideal distance for you. Studying abroad also has its advantages and opportunities.
The size is important because of some things. Look at the overall campus structure and think if you are seeking to meet many new faces or if you prefer to know everybody by name. In big campus you have to hurry and get between classes quickly. Finally, look at the teacher-to-student ratio. Avoid too big campuses if you want to get more attention of your professor in the class.
Lessons are important, but don't focus only on one certain class or faculty. Decide to be involved in all aspects of university life. Explore which universities offer best basketball or football communities, if sport is an essential part of your life or maybe the university has a student club the member of which you would like to become. Consider the size of its library, volunteer opportunities, etc.
Work out a budget for education. Ask your parents for help or think how much money you want and more important – can pay for education. There are many opportunities; knowledge becomes closer to everyone who really needs it.
Remember, that nowadays we visit university not to get knowledge. Today, universities aren't the key to knowledge, they used to be a while ago, but they're not anymore. Modern university aims to teach students to build their point of view, analyze data, reason, write a research papers, solve problems and think logically.
Education is not the key to happiness, but it is the key to many "closed doors" that you'll face numerous times in your life. Education gives you future opportunities that can make you happy. With that in mind, you need to select taking into account all smallest details because this choice can change your life once and forever and grand you great future.
By the way, our writing helper can help you with your essay.
I've spent long time on searching for the right company and I can say Samedaypapers was the good choice. My essay was done quicky and in perfect manner, they even repeated my writing style! No wonder that my teacher loved the paper and I got A+ for that.
Samedaypapers saved me bunch of nerves and helped with my paper right on time. Thank Heavens, they tackle even rush orders. The paper they provided was of high-quality and I really enjoyed the service. I will tell this story to my friends for sure.
Glad I found this company. So many writing services claim great quality and support which turn to be pure guff, while Samedaypapers keeps their word. I received professional writing help and had pleasant experience contacting their customer support team.

Someone else likes cats. I have two myself and I also love music.
judy tooley
Hey Contratrombone and Judy, thanks for the compliments! You got me blushing!
I've been away from the forum for awhile, so I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. Knowing that someone appreciates your work is a real help to spur you on to do more.
The organ in most of the clips on my website is a Holtkamp. You can read about it here: http://www.lvago.org/muhlcoll.html
Yes, I love cats, but don't have any of my own because of allergies. However I like spending time with other people's cats. A neighbor has a cat that comes over here during the summer. I believe he thinks I'm his uncle.
Does at Pommer 16' have a reed or flue mechanism?
Hi Contratrombone,
The Pommer 16' is a flue stop. It works sort of like a heavy-ish Bourdon on that organ. It's on for the Wedge and Kyrie clips on my website. I tend not to be squeamish about using manual 16's for plenum combinations, including when playing fugues. That organ is difficult to register as it has a pretty thin sound.

we had grand plans to finish painting the trim work this weekend,
but mother nature wasn't on the same page with us.
saturday, two of chris's friends came over in the pouring rain to help, bless their hearts, but all they could do was scrape paint since it was literally pouring down rain (with occasional thunder and lightning too just to make it a little more interesting). the poor guys were soaking wet and freezing cold!
on a positive note, the screened in porch was able to get painted.
there are lots of touch ups to do still, but here is one of the walls nearly complete.
on another positive note....since it rained all weekend, i got a bunch of crafting done.
finally, i was able to finish up all the projects that have been sitting on my craft table for months now.
projects completed were...
burlap/felt wreath for our front door (pics to come)
2 baby onsies for friends (pics to come)
2 necklaces for a birthday gifts
6 rosette headbands
oh and one last exciting thing....i got my sweater in the mail, that had been patienly waiting for....
it was the one i blogged about last week here...the colorful grandfather cardigan.
it came just in time for me to wear it to my friend rachel's birthday lunch.
for a rainy gloomy weekend, we got a lot done.
how was your weekend?
happy monday!

Let me ask you one question: do you even whale, bro? These days there's a lot of hype behind limited release craft beers. We here at Red Brick would love to throw our hat in the ring, but exclusivity isn't really our thing. That's why we brewed enough of this Bourbon aged Imperial Stout to go around. This beer features big notes of dark chocolate and espresso beans with a distinct Bourbon oak character, which is achieved by aging the beer for
an extended period on chipped Bourbon barrels prior to bottling. So go ahead, grab your favorite glass and enjoy this whale of a stout.

Recruiting Rewind: LSU DL signee wasn't recruited hard by this SEC power, so now he wants them to pay
Many LSU fans already have Saturday, Nov. 5 circled on their calendars.
LSU defensive line signee Glen Logan does, too.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder from Destrehan (La.) High School boasted 20 offers, and as National Signing Day approached, Logan really had to decide whether to honor his commitment to the Tigers or re-consider Miami.
That wasn't exactly how he pictured it, though.
The former four-star prospect expected another SEC West school to be in the mix. That conference rival was Alabama.
The Crimson Tide offered Logan early — in February 2015 to be exact — which was before he even pledged to LSU.
However, the Alabama coaching staff did not make as strong of a push for the highly sought-after defensive lineman as he expected.
Logan was perfectly content committing and eventually signing his letter of intent with LSU, and he cannot wait to play the disrespect card when Nov. 5 rolls around and the Tigers play host to Alabama.
"Alabama," Logan told SEC Country when asked which school disappointed him the most during the recruiting process.
"They never really came through, and they didn't recruit me hard at all. It's a big loss for them, and now I get a chance to prove them wrong about me soon."
If you could give a junior one piece of advice about the recruiting process, what would it be? Think before you tweet or retweet anything. Also, take your time and make sure the decision is what's best for you, and have fun during the process.
What school came in second? What could they have done a little better? Miami, and not to have so many coaching changes at the last minute. I didn't feel comfortable with the coaches, which made me not feel at home.
What was the most creative thing a school or coach did to get your attention? One creative thing was create a big poster of me. That was by Texas. It was me in my (No.) 97 jersey.
What was the biggest rumor about you that wasn't true? That I was going to flip from LSU to Miami at any time. It was probably because I was entertaining Miami a lot, and I kind of liked them.
What is the funniest thing any head coach said to you during the entire recruiting process? Just hearing Coach (Les) Miles mock Coach (Ed) Orgeron. That was the funniest thing ever, him doing an impression of his voice. Yeah, it was hilarious.
What was your biggest regret during the recruiting process? I wish I would have went to more camps, but that's my only regret.
Which coach was it the hardest to say no, that you weren't coming there? (Texas defensive line) Coach Brick Haley, because he was at LSU and I was really close to him.
Which head coach of a team was the nicest? Coach Miles, and there's no way to really explain it. It's just Coach Miles.
If you were in charge of the NCAA, what's the one rule you would change? I think that student-athletes should be paid. Athletes produce so much revenue for their schools, and they should be paid at least a little bit.
Other LSU Recruiting Rewinds
- Les Miles dabbing is a memory LSU signee Cameron Lewis won't forget
- LSU signee Donavaughn Campbell's fondest memory includes running from a snake
- LSU QB signee Lindsey Scott Jr. received insight on Les Miles' hatred toward Alabama
- LSU signee Caleb Roddy says other SEC teams had a chance if they moved to Baton Rouge
- LSU signee Lloyd Cushenberry says Tigers made a push the Sunday before signing day
- LSU signee Jakori Savage almost considered another SEC West team
- LSU signee Andre Anthony had a completely different view of Les Miles before meeting him
- You won't believe what Texas fans did to Rahssan Thornton after he committed to LSU
- LSU WR signee says he always knew he was going to this SEC West school

DNA sequencing is a molecular biology method of defining the specific order and arrangement of nucleotide bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) within a DNA molecule. With DNA sequencing the DNA from an species is transformed into a format suitable to be used by researchers for their basic molecular biology studies, medical research, and in forensics investigations. The advancement of rapid DNA sequencing techniques has significantly accelerated genetics and medical research and discovery. The DNA sequencing technology has evolved rapidly in the last couple of decades and has achieved rapid speed of sequencing. This makes possible the sequencing of complete DNA sequences, or genomes of important model organism, including the human.
What Is DNA Sequencing – The Basics
In general, there are four stages in the process DNA sequencing. The first step is the isolation of the cell DNA. Next follows the actual DNA sequencing reaction. After that, the resulting DNA fragments are separated by their size. In the final step, the DNA profile is analyzed by a computer and the final DNA sequencing data is then presented in a usable format.
The first step in DNA sequencing process is to extract the DNA out of the cell. This can be achieved either mechanically or biochemically. Usually the DNA molecule is a double stranded – it has two chains of nucleotide residues. With the DNA sequencing only one strand is sequenced at a time – the other strand is a complimentary to the sequenced one and as such it's sequence could be inferred from the DNA sequencing results.
The DNA sequence is too long – millions to billions of nucleotide bases, and must be split up to multiple fragments. Then these DNA sequence fragments must be multiplied and for that purpose are used vectors systems. The vectors are actually cells that indefinitely self-replicate it's genetic material. Another important factor for the multiplication are the specific primers – particular polynucleotide sequence which is specific for a DNA structure in the targeted sequence. The DNA sequencing reaction needs the primer to start the biochemical reaction of synthesis of the second DNA strand. The sequencing process is performed in a thermal cycler because the reaction needs to be repeated many times. Actually four separate DNA synthesis reactions are running in parallel – each of these separate reactions contains labeled nucleotides for just one of the four bases. The generation of multiple copies of one and the same DNA clone makes possible the analysis of the resulting DNA clones and their ordering in the next step.
After the DNA clones synthesis, they are sorted by their size using capillary electrophoresis – DNA molecules are pulled by an electricity through a gel in a very thin glass tube (capillary). Four different paths are loaded with DNA clones – one for each dye-labeled nucleotides (G, C, A and T). The capillary electrophoresis order DNA strands by their length in an ordered manner. As they emerge from the capillary, they pass through a laser that activates and identifies labeled nucleotide bases in each clone. The labeled bases in the four different DNA synthesis streams are read from the shortest clone to the longest and this information is loaded into a computer, which process the raw results and generates the output of the DNA sequencing.
Practical Applications of DNA Sequencing Technology
DNA sequencing techniques are used to determine the sequence of single genes, large genetic sequences, full chromosomes and even complete genomes. This is useful in various fields of life sciences, like:
- Molecular biology – studying the genome as a whole; identify the coding sequences for proteins; identifying the genes and their variations; unveiling the associations between genes and diseases or phenotypes; suggesting possible drug targets
- Evolutionary biology – studying the onto-genetic relations between different organisms and how they have evolved
- Metagenomics – screening for species present in different biomes like sea water, sewage, soil, debris filtered from the air.
Similar to DNA sequencing, non-sequencing techniques like DNA fingerprinting could provide less-precise but still valuable information that can be useful for:
- Medicine – detect the presence of known genes
- Forensic identification
- Parental testing and genealogy
Basic DNA Sequencing Methods
- Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing – the first developed DNA sequencing method based on chemical modification of DNA and subsequent cleavage at specific bases in the DNA sequence.
- Sanger Sequencing – a DNA sequencing method relies on in vitro DNA replication during which DNA polymerase selective incorporates chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides at different points of the DNA sequence.
Advanced and De Novo DNA Sequencing Methods
- Shotgun Sequencing
- Bridge PCR
Next-generation DNA Sequencing Methods
- Massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS)
- Ion Torrent sequencing
- Pyrosequencing
- Illumina dye sequencing
- SOLiD sequencing
- DNA nanoball sequencing
- Single molecule real time sequencing (SMRT)

The cell cycle governs the entire life of a cell, including growth, division and death. There are defined phases of the cell cycle, during which the cell grows, duplicates its DNA and eventually divides into two new cells. Checkpoints at each phase of the cycle verify the progress so the cell may enter the next phase. Failure to pass these inspections can result in arrest of the cell cycle and death; however, failure to properly regulate the cell cycle can lead to cancer.
Growth Phase I
A young cell initially expands in response to the presence of proteins called growth factors. If an insufficient amount of growth factors are present, the cell ceases to grow and exits the cell cycle in a phase known as Growth Phase Zero. This arrest can be temporary, with the cell returning to Growth Phase 1 when appropriate growth factors become present. If the growth factors fail to become present, the cell undergoes programmed cell death. Certain types of cells do not divide in adulthood and permanently exit the cell cycle, remaining in Growth Phase Zero for long periods of time. This is observed in neurons, the longest-living cells in the human body.
Synthesis Phase
After a cell has been in Growth Phase I for a sufficient amount of time, it becomes too large and needs to divide into two smaller cells. The first step toward this division is duplication of the DNA. The cell synthesizes a copy of its DNA so that two complete copies are present in the cell. Mistakes are often made during the duplication process, and the cell needs to correct these mistakes before it can progress to the next phase of the cycle.
Growth Phase II and Mitosis
Next, the cell enters the relatively short Growth Phase II. This phase gives the cell a chance to grow a little more before dividing. Much like the first growth phase, appropriate amounts of growth factors are needed to progress into the next phase, which is called mitosis. During this phase, the two sets of chromosomes line up and are separated, so that the two copies move to different sides of the cell. The cell then splits down the middle, resulting in two cells, each containing one copy of the DNA.
If the cell doesn't pass checkpoint inspections, it may undergo programmed cell death. A failure to maintain regulation of the cell cycle leads to uncontrolled cell growth and division, and eventually cancer. Cancer cells lose the ability to be regulated by the cell cycle and continue to divide, even in the absence of certain growth factors, which is what makes killing cancer cells difficult.
