Brrr – what a miserably cold week it's been so far! In the past 24 hours alone I've been hailed on, rained on, blown around in the wind and felt as though my fingers would fall off from frostbite. And all in mild Auckland! I hope you're all managing to keep warm and dry, and are nestling up for the winter months – especially those of you in far chillier climates!
Luckily there are lots of things to love about winter – woolly stockings, thick coats, electric blankets, fleecy pyjamas, and warm drinks all make my list. But even better, the winter weather is just made for baking – unlike during the summer months the oven warms the house to a pleasant temperature, the smell of treats baking makes the house smell amazing and there are never any issues with your buttercream wilting in the heat; perfect!
But if you ask me, there is one type of baking that winter is absolutely made for – biscuits. There's nothing better than settling down in the evening with a hot drink and a freshly baked biscuit to enjoy while the wild weather whips about outside. So in honour of the southerly chill we're experiencing I indulged in a bit of wintery biscuit baking, making something I think you're really going to enjoy.
Rolo crinkle cookies – soft chocolate biscuits stuffed with Rolo chocolates before being rolled in icing sugar and baked. The Rolo melts ever so slightly in the oven, remaining largely intact to give each biscuit a beautiful caramel burst at its centre.
They're absolutely delicious, totally moorish and dead easy to make.
While I love decadent crinkle cookies made with melted chocolate in the mixture (like these Bailey's ones), this recipe only uses cocoa. The great thing? It really doesn't need the chocolate – the biscuits are absolutely beautiful as they are – and it makes them much more affordable to bake, especially in large quantities.
After just 11 minutes in the oven the biscuits come out beautifully baked – big, puffy and cracked, they're exactly what you imagine a crinkle cookie to look like. The only thing I noticed is that the icing sugar largely dissolved in the oven making them look less than pretty – nothing that a sprinkling of icing sugar couldn't fix!
The finished biscuits are absolutely divine and didn't last long in our house. They're soft to the bite, rich and flavoursome without leaving you feeling too gluttonous even after eating several (phew). Unlike some biscuits, these last really well when stored in an airtight container so they're great for tucking in lunch boxes. What more could you want from a winter biscuit!
- 1 ½ cups plain flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa
- 140g butter, softened
- 1 cup golden granulated sugar
- ½ cup light muscovado sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tubes Rolo chocolates
- ½ – 1 cup icing sugar
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line two baking trays
- Whisk together flour, baking powder and cocoa and set aside
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and two sugars until pale and fluffy
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add vanilla
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined
- Scoop out a heaped tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten against palm of your hand and set a Rolo chocolate in the centre. Fold dough around Rolo and roll into ball.
- Roll each ball in icing sugar and place on baking tray
- Bake for 11 minutes or until biscuits appear cracked. Allow to cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to rack to cool
- Once cool dust with icing sugar before serving

"With the number one pick in the draft…" words almost every basketball player strives to hear in person as it signals the night where dreams come true and years of endless workouts, drills and film study manifest into a NBA jersey with a familiar name on the back…their own. Tomorrow night that dream will become a reality for 60+ players in Brooklyn as Adam Silver steps to the podium to announce one by one, the 2015 NBA Draft Class.
Where did your team land this year? Take a look at the upcoming First Round draft order:
1. Minnesota (Towns, Wiggins and Lavine are a dangerous group of young talent)
2. L.A. Lakers (Okafor, Randle, Kobe and a superstar free agent should be the move)
3. Philadelphia
4. New York
5. Orlando
6. Sacramento
7. Denver
8. Detroit
9. Charlotte
10. Miami
11. Indiana
12. Utah
13. Phoenix
14. Oklahoma City
15. Atlanta (From Brooklyn)
16. Boston
17. Milwaukee
18. Houston (From New Orleans)
19. Washington
20. Toronto
21. Dallas
22. Chicago
23. Portland
24. Cleveland
25. Memphis
26. San Antonio
27. L.A. Lakers (From Houston)
28. Boston (From L.A. Clippers)
29. Brooklyn (From Atlanta)
30. Golden State
It is still very odd to see two of the most popular franchises (New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers) in the Top 5 of the draft, again. Don't expect to see them there for long though as LA will have a healthy Julius Randle this season along with cap room to entice one or two superstars to head to the West Coast. On the opposite side, the Knicks are near the top of the list for Demarcus Cousins, not to mention Rajon Rondo could be a great fit for both teams.
But those players are proven stars and tomorrow night is all about the rooks, so let's take a look at a few newcomers with the potential to appear on the Rookie of the Year ballot.
Big Men. Finding the right player with an ability to protect the paint, alter shots, rebound and either have that 15-footer or enough athleticism to create posters at will is hard to come by but these guys are more than capable:
Karl Anthony-Towns
Jahlil Okafor
Frank Kaminsky
Willie Cauley Stein
Kristaps Porzingis
Myles Turner
Trey Lyles
Bobby Portis
Guards. Who can run the offense? Need instant scoring? Who do you go to in the clutch when you need a basket? This group has the potential to cause issues on the perimeter for defenders:
D'Angelo Russell
Emmanuel Mudiay
Justise Winslow
Devin Booker
Stanley Johnson
Cameron Payne
Jerian Grant
Sleepers. If the Warriors run to the title this year or the Spurs previously in almost perfect form didn't show everyone the importance of role players, nothing will. Specialists will always have a place and this group has a quiet potential to develop beyond what many GMs project:
Montrezl Harrell
JP Tokoto
Sam Dekker
Andrew Harrison
Aaron Harrison
Quinn Cook
Ronae Hollis-Jefferson
As we countdown these next 24 hours until the draft, be sure to hit us @SwaysUniverse and let us know who you think YOUR team should take with their pick! #NBADraft2015

Suggestions for Handling Problems of Emotional Development in Children!
It remains to bring together the implications pervading this article regarding the handling of problems of emotional frustration and fulfillment.
The following suggestions appear of most importance.
The Importance of Going Back of Symptoms to the Underlying Situation:
It is first of all fundamental to recognize the inadequacy of simply treating symptoms without consideration of the underlying situation and the possible effect of the treatment upon it. The pupil who is belligerent, morose, daydreaming, or truant is not adequately dealt with if punished for his aggression, berated for his moodiness, rudely interrupted in his "wool-gathering," or pursued by the attendance officer; instead, the treatment may in each instance aggravate the basic difficulty.
The important questions are: What frustration or confusion is causing the aggressiveness or moodiness or the real or imaginary flight from the schoolroom? How may that situation be cleared up? Can a reasonable satisfaction of the frustrated interests be somehow secured? Or may the interests need reconstitution, and the level of aspiration need to be changed? These problems, not the symptoms, require attention.
Where there is not frustration but furtherance, the background situation must nevertheless be considered. Mabel seems particularly interested in history and is doing notably well, but a crush on the history teacher turns out to be the key factor in the situation. Ruth writes so well that her delighted English teacher hints at a possible career as an author, but Ruth is a shy little girl whose interest in literature is almost as unhealthy a substitute for real experience as daydreaming.
Bill's long hours and beautiful work in the industrial arts shop are in part an escape from and compensation for his poor work in his other subjects. Mary's interest in preparing to teach turns out to be more her mother's interest in having her do so; Mary's good work in normal school is motivated by her loyalty to her parent, not her eagerness for her prospective profession.
John's enthusiastic good work in mathematics is really enthusiasm at beating Algernon, son of the community's toplofty social leader. Whatever the nature of the emotional experience, if the background situation is not considered, the teacher may make some sad or even ridiculous mistakes.
The puzzled mathematics teacher found that when Algrenon dropped out of the class John's work slumped badly. Ruth's interest in literature evaporated after she acquired a boy friend. When Mabel's crush came to its inevitable disillusionment, she "hated" history.
The Importance of the Teacher's Being "Objective" and Having Insight Regarding Possible Involvement of Her Own Emotions:
In the second place it is of prime importance that a teacher should not let her own emotions become so involved in her relations with her pupils that she acts to satisfy her own feelings rather than their needs A pupil's inattention, stubbornness, or insolence naturally arouses irritation and countering aggressive responses in the teacher, and to indulge her own feelings by sarcastic remarks and yet other aggressive responses is a release and satisfaction to her.
But it usually only adds to the tension. Instead of reacting subjectively in terms of her own feelings, she should maintain an objective attitude of calm, friendly open mindedness and desire to understand what the trouble really is. Often nothing more is needed to handle a disciplinary situation that easy good nature and refusal to take a bit of excitement seriously.
All that the experienced teacher did in dealing with the post climbing boys was to maintain an easy placidity that calmed the class and made it evident that she could not be "razzed" into making a Roman holiday for them. On another occasion in her own class, a boy put his feet on his desk, while watching her covertly. The young teacher would have been irritated or hurt and ordered the feet down.
But this experienced teacher, wise in such matters, seemed to have a blind spot for those feet. After a while the lad put them down. Then she thanked him for doing so, but went on to explain blandly that if he simply could not work in any other posture she would certainly not let the conventions of the classroom interfere with his education. The feet remained off the desk for the remainder of the semester.
"Objectivity" means further that the teacher will not be shocked or upset by various types of distressing information which may come to her. For instance, a desperate youngster may blurt out to her a story of some sex episode which seems to her very disgusting. But she must not show that feeling, any more than a physician should show disgust when he sees a sick person.
Nor should she go into a dither of sympathy for the unhappy youth, any more than a physician should exhaust his feelings in sympathy for his patient. An important contribution of a good physician is his calm un-emotionalized cheerfulness in the sickroom— the implication he gives that things after all are not so bad as the patient thinks, that many people have been ill before and recovered, that one shouldn't worry, that if the patient will only keep calm and follow the doctor's directions everything will be better before long.
Similarly the distraught young person needs calm reassurance, understanding of his problem, and commonsense suggestions as to what he should do. The well-informed teacher will know that various episodes and habits not uncommon among children are not as abnormal as was once supposed.
She will not be prudish or moralistic; she may give directly, or in suggested reading, information which will be helpful; she will have helpful suggestions or suggest where they may be obtained (perhaps from physician, nurse, or psychologist).
Very important but little mentioned is the fact that a teacher should be objective and on guard as to possible involvement of her own emotions in connection with her pupils' likes and accomplishments as well as their antagonisms and wrongdoings. Mabel's interest in history (mentioned in the preceding section) was at first greatly encouraged by her teacher in large part because this teacher much enjoyed the girl's admiring attentions.
The English teacher encouraged Ruth's ideas of becoming an author and helped her obtain publication of a story in the local paper, because it added to the teacher's own self-feeling and reputation as the one who had discovered and developed this girl's "unusual talents." The mathematics teacher did not like Algernon much better than John did, and encouraged John in part for that reason.
In fact, probably most of the time, the average teacher, being human, deals with her pupils' emotional problems on the basis of her own feelings rather than theirs.
Deep-seated and long-established attitudes present especially difficult problems here. Two teachers in the same school, who may be called Miss Wright and Miss Frank, had both come from very strict homes. Miss Wright was a repressed sensitive woman who was so shocked and upset by student delinquency as to be worse than useless in dealing with such cases.
But she did much to encourage and help shy sensitive girls such as she had been. Miss Frank was a big hearty rebel who was impatient with sensitive people but rather admired pupils with "spunk" even when they got into trouble. Pupils who liked one of these teachers usually disliked the other.
As faculty adviser, each was good (in fact, sometimes too sympathetic) in dealing with the emotional problems of some pupils but only stirred up trouble in contacts with others. In assigning students to advisers the shrewd principal kept these facts in mind, and the two teachers nicely supplemented each other, each handling especially well youngsters the other disliked.
The teacher's as well as the pupil's emotions are thus involved in most emotional problems arising in school—and to keep thinking straight is indeed a task for all concerned. Perhaps the greatest single help in this matter (beyond understanding it) is a sense of humor. If a teacher can laugh at herself—and laugh with but not at the pupils—in considering these problems, then tensions are released and perspectives gained.
The Importance of a Developmental Rather Than a "Police" Point of View, and of Fostering Desirable Emotional Experience:
All too often administrators (and visiting parents) consider a teacher capable in proportion as she keeps order. And the teacher approves those pupils who never upset the order in her room, but extends herself especially to restrain those lively youngsters who "disturb the peace." This is a police point of view.
However, if a vigorous outgoing development of each child is considered the main objective of education, criteria for judging both teacher and pupil will be very different indeed. The quiet repressed child will be regarded as a problem—and also the repressive teacher who tends to make children so.
The good teacher will be recognized as one in whose room the pupils feel so secure and unrepressed that legitimate activities can be undertaken without hesitation. She will try to free them of frustrations, fears, and resentments, and resolve any impasse causing unpleasant emotion.
But she should do more; she should foster desirable emotional experiences. It was suggested at the beginning of this article that pleasant emotions were the result of the satisfaction of interests—in contrast to emotional distress which was caused by their frustration. In the preceding article, however, it was emphasized that interests are a complex product of many factors.
They have their roots in biological urges. But specific interests are largely determined by the total socio-economic and cultural environment in which the individual develops. The present article has stressed the importance of level of aspiration as determining the extent to which a person finds it needful, for his self-esteem and status, to carry through a particular interest.
A school can thus make a first contribution to a young person's happiness by giving sensible direction to his interests so that they are congruent with his abilities and by keeping his goals so that they are feasible for him.
In the second place, a young person's interests and aspirations at a given time being what they are (and assuming that they are good), the school can help him realize them. As was emphasized earlier in this article and in the discussion of special abilities in other articles, the satisfying of interests can be as pleasant and as up-building as their frustration is distressing and destructive. It is to this constructive task that the teacher's chief efforts should be directed, and in which she can find her own greatest satisfactions.

The 'fast-tracked' The Waters of Mars has debuted in Australia to modest ratings. The special averaged 731,000 in the five major capital cities. Though 'Mars' was still the ABC's top rating drama of the day and its second highest rating show after the 7pm news. The trailer for The End of Time also immediately followed the special, although the ABC is yet to confirm when it will broadcast the two-part special in the new year.
Meanwhile, 'Mars' and the casting of Australian actor Peter O'Brien as 'Bowie Base One' second-in-command, Ed Gold, has also attracted some local media attention. Debbie Schipp of The Sunday Telegraph has spoken to O'Brien about his appearance in the iconic show, who jokes that 'all the interiors were done in Wales, and then we had to go to Mars for the exteriors'. The Herald-Sun, The Daily Telegraph and The Sun-Herald also feature interviews with the Aussie actor. Kerrie Murphy of The Weekend Australian writes of 'Mars' that it is 'an absolute ripper, mixing rapid-fire humour with a complex and emotional story.' Scott Ellis of The Sunday Age also comments that 'fans will not be disappointed, especially by his new companion, 59 year-old Captain Adelaide Brooke.'

Netflix is now getting into the reality TV competition game.
The streaming giant announced Monday that it's launching a 10-episode series titled "Ultimate Beastmaster" that will be produced by Sylveter Stallone and also star the Oscar nominee.
Touted as the first international competition series of its kind, the series will have six local versions featuring languages, competitors, and hosts from each competing country. Each hour-long episode will feature 12 competitors, two from each country, who will take on, as the release calls, "one of the most physically demanding obstacle courses ever devised" — The Beast.
At the end of each episode, a "Beastmaster" will be crowned and in the final episode of the season, the nine individual winners from each episode will compete against each other, and one will become "Ultimate Beastmaster."
The show will feature 108 competitors in total and the countries involved in the show are the US, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Germany, and Japan.
Local celebrities and athletes will be commentators throughout the competition. They include:
U.S.: Terry Crews ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "The Ridiculous Six"), Charissa Thompson (Extra TV, Fox Sports)
Brazil: Anderson Silva (UFC Middleweight Champion), Rafinha Bastos (Comedian, Journalist and TV Personality)
South Korea: Seo Kyung Suk (Actor, Comedian and TV Host), Park Kyeong Rim (Actress, Comedian and TV Host)
Mexico: Ines Sainz (Journalist, Sportscaster & TV Host), Luis Ernesto Franco (Actor and Producer)
Germany: Hans Sarpei (Former Soccer Player, TV Personality), Luke Mockridge (Comedian)
Japan: Sayaka Akimoto (Actress), Yuji Kondo (Sports Anchor)
All episodes will be made available at the same moment globally.
There's more to this than just launching a clever reality TV show. As Netflix continues to expand its service across the globe, having an international competition (with local personalities from those regions) only makes the company more attractive to other parts of the world.
The series currently has no release date.

The Situation: A Good Idea, Stuck
Simon-Kucher & Partners, the world's largest pricing consultancy, had unique insights into how pricing affects the success or failure of innovative products and services. From its engagements at Porsche, LinkedIn, Swarovski and other famous companies, it had real-world examples of how to use pricing to monetize innovations successfully. And it had two pricing strategy experts eager to share their wisdom. In other words, it had all the ingredients for an excellent business book that would burnish Simon-Kucher's reputation as pricing strategy and innovation experts.
But what the experts didn't have was time to shape the book's central argument, organize the advice and craft engaging prose. After all, they had a business to run.
So, the book project languished.
Then, in 2015, SKP reached out to Bloom Group to help get the book written, and bring it to market.
Bloom Group's Role: Building A Strong Book
Bloom Group worked with the book's two authors, SKP CEO Georg Tacke and partner Madhavan Ramanujam, to clarify the book's central argument, its advice for readers, and the examples that would validate that advice.
The book had an intriguing premise: While companies need to innovate to survive, most launch new products or services "hoping they'll make money on their innovations, but not knowing if they will." That's why most new offerings miss their financial goals, or flop altogether. (Remember the Segway?) The book would lay out nine rules for monetizing innovations wisely, using lessons learned from more than 10,000 projects done by SKP.
Bloom Group helped SKP retain a book agent, write a proposal and secure a contract with Wiley, a global business and academic publisher.
Then Bloom Group got down to work helping the authors write the book which, at Wiley's request, needed to be completed in four months.
Bloom Group approached this challenge by:
- Holding face-to-face planning sessions with the book's authors to perfect their arguments, using customer examples and secondary research.
- Outlining every chapter to ensure each met its goals and all parties were aligned on content.
- Writing the chapters, incorporating Tacke's and Ramanujam's feedback and edits.
- Completing the manuscript in the allotted time.
Monetizing Innovation: How Smart Companies Design the Product Around the Price was published on schedule in May 2016.
Bloom Group then helped Tacke and Ramanujam publish two articles based on their new book in Harvard Business Review online in May 2016. The HBR articles magnified the book's impact and made more people aware of the company's unique expertise.
Business Outcomes:
Monetizing Innovation won a 4.5-star rating on Amazon.com. It also got positive reviews from prominent business leaders such as Bill Gurley, board member of Uber and General Partner at Benchmark.
In 2016, Simon-Kucher recorded annual revenue of over $260 million, growing 16 percent over the previous year. A 30 percent gain in U.S. revenues played a large role in that growth. Perhaps not coincidentally, the company has opened a second office in Silicon Valley, where innovation – and pricing it – is top of everyone's mind.

In last Saturday's state tournament game against St. Paul Academy/Minnehaha Academy/Blake (SMB), the Jalen Suggs Show dominated the first half and the Wildcats trailed 35-0 at the end of the half – a seemingly insurmountable lead. But rather than hanging their heads, the Wildcats came out blazing and dominated the second half. In the end, their rally fell short and SMB came away with a 49-28 win to advance to a state semifinal game against top-ranked Hutchinson today at 4:30 p.m. at U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. The loss ended the season for the Wildcats. The game was played at Centennial High School in Circle Pines.

Wildcats to play for section title after upending top-seeded Cloquet
With the Wildcats leading 14-0 midway through the fourth quarter in last Saturday's section 7AAAA semifinal game at Cloquet, the Lumberjacks were on the brink of scoring a touchdown that would have cut the lead in half. But on second and goal from the three, sophomore Max Pullis created a fumble and recovered it at the four to stop the Lumberjack drive dead in its tracks. The Wildcats then went on an 11-play drive that ran out the clock to win the game 14-0 and advance to tomorrow night's section championship game against the Hermantown Hawks at 7 p.m. at North Branch High School. The Hawks defeated the North Branch Vikings 21-14 in the other semifinal to advance to the championship game.

Hunters squeeze by North Branch in section opener for boys soccer
Duluth Denfeld 2, North Branch 1
In the opening round of the Section 7A playoffs against fourth-seeded Duluth Denfeld, the 13th-seeded Vikings played what head coach Jake Borash called "by far the best game we played all season in terms of passing, mentality, want and desire." But when it was all over, the Hunters had squeaked out a 2-1 win over the Vikings, ending the Vikings season. The game was played last Thursday at Public Schools Stadium in Duluth.

Wildcats get pushed around at homecoming, lose 30-7 on late scores
A casual glance at the 30-7 score of last Friday's football game between the Wildcats and the Andover Huskies could lead you to believe that the Huskies had a relatively easy win over the Wildcats. But it really was one of those games that was closer than the score indicated. And it all turned on a penalty late in the game.

Area soccer teams wrap up regular season, postseason awaits
Chisago Lakes Girls
In what was to be their final regular season game, the Wildcats (14-0-1) didn't exactly know what to expect from the 22nd-ranked Minnehaha Academy Redhawks (7-3-3) coming into the match at Chisago Lakes High School on Thursday, October 3. The Redhawks had tied fifth-ranked Breck and lost to 20th-ranked Blake by just one goal. But the Wildcats were on point from the start. Nine minutes into the match, Riann Daas found Estefani Hanson, who shot the ball into the lower corner for the first Wildcat goal. Midway through the half, Allison Glenna found Daas for the Wildcats' second goal. And with eight minutes left in the half, Madison Kubalek sent a one-touch pass to Daas for the Wildcats' third goal and a 3-0 halftime lead. Early in the second half, Minnehaha Academy scored to make it 3-1. The score stayed that way until the 81st minute, when Kellie Higgins sent a corner in to the box and Avery Constant blasted it home to give the Wildcats a more comfortable cushion at 4-1. Daas – who finished with two goals and two assists – sent a beautiful feed across the box to a wide-open Rayna Barrett for the finish. Finally, Hanson dropped a ball back to Kellie Higgins, who bent it in for a goal to make the final score Chisago Lakes 6, Minnehaha Academy 1.

There are many times in life when a straight person will bring out their gay. Is he made, you may say? Not today. We are looked upon to provide services such as flower arranging, interior decorating, haircutting, and wedding dress shopping. For some reason, people think that we gay men are better at these activities.
I don't deny that certain professions appear to attract gay men. It is usually in the form of the stereotypical flaming gay, but not necessarily. I don't know why we pick these professions, but we do. They tend to be creative jobs that offer rewards other than material ones. Even I have been know to channel my inner poet.
Brides on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress often bring their favorite gay guy to help them shop for wedding dresses. Why do these brides think that a gay guy is necessary? Do they think we have good taste? Do they think we know everything there is to know about wedding dresses? At a minimum it is good old stereotyping. At a maximum we will tell the truth to the poor bride.
The more we work in those professions, the more we strengthen the stereotype that gay guys are good at these jobs. We call this a self-perpetuating stereotype. There is some amount of truth in every stereotype. All joking aside, it is a minor annoyance that brides bring their gay. I still have no idea why each bride has only one gay.

Pristine Beauty
The interior of Belize just 20 years ago was unknown - a hinterland of the imagination, with impenetrable jungles, wild animals and tales of lost Mayan Cities. Only recently, Belize has gained a worldwide reputation for the incredible vacation opportunities that lie hidden amongst its mountains, forests, rivers, and wetlands.
With decades of exploring the Belizean backcountry under our belt, we know how to get you to those special places. The most spectacular areas are usually well away from the beaten path. In the rainforest, upwards of 70% of the mammals are nocturnal; birds are best seen in the early hours of the morning or late in the evening, and some of the most exciting Mayan ruins in the region require careful planning to reach.
Our trips not only bring you to the most beautiful and pristine locations in the country, but we also take you there at the right times, with expert leadership and the right gear to explore them to the fullest. Our activities are as diverse as the environment: river travel, caving, and hiking may be combined with sea kayaking, snorkeling, and diving adventures to provide exceptional multi-sport experiences.
Your genuine interaction with the people of Belize also sets these trips apart. A radiant smile from a small Mayan girl, being welcomed into the home of a Garifuna family, or forging a close friendship with your native guide is, after all, what travel should be all about!

I Thought Inbreeding Was Illegal
- I really do not want to sound like an elitist, but where in the Hell does the GOP dig up these simple minded retards to represent the party?
- We are not electing a Pope. So what does Christ have to do with anything?
(Snopes) - A Republican elector from Texas announced that he was giving up his position because of what he described as religious objections to supporting Donald Trump. Media outlets picked up on Art Sisneros' decision, which he explained in a lengthy blog post on 26 November 2016:
I do not see how Donald Trump is Biblically qualified to serve in the office of the Presidency. Of the hundreds of angry messages that I have received, not one has made a convincing case from scripture otherwise. If Trump is not qualified and my role, both morally and historically, as an elected official is to vote my conscience, then I can not and will not vote for Donald Trump for President. I believe voting for Trump would bring dishonor to God. The reality is Trump will be our President, no matter what my decision is.
Sisneros argued that the nature of the Electoral College itself has been compromised, since electors are required by their parties to vote for their respective presidential candidates. (This is somewhat inaccurate, as electors voting outside party consensus, also known as "faithless electors," can receive penalties — typically a fine or a misdemeanor charge — but Texas has no laws on the books stating that electors have to vote in line with the state's population.)
Sisneros also accused the state GOP of acting against the principles stated in its own platform:
The law of nature's God give clear principles for electing civil leaders. The original intent of the Constitution gives a specific method that to apply those principles. The Republican party of Texas declares their #1 principle is to honor God and original intent of the Constitution. They then force Electors to make a pledge that is contrary to both. To point out this discrepancy is treasonous.
Instead of acting as a "faithless elector" and voting against Trump, however, Sisneros said he would leave his position and allow the party to install someone who would vote for Trump.Read More . . . .

URBN St. Brewing Co.
110 N. Magnolia, El Cajon(Has gone out of business since this article was published.)
I've been able to oversee the development of several local breweries from conception to brick-and-mortar status. Among them are Societe Brewing Company, Nickel Beer Co., and URBN St. Brewing Co. The latter officially opened last month after a long, drawn-out permitting process. I'll admit to getting anxious about seeing the finished product as two individuals I've gotten to know over the years through my association with Stone Brewing Co. — executive chef Alex Carballo and brewmaster Callaway Ryan — were heavily involved. Last week, I finally got my first look at and first taste of this business, which took over the space vacated by the defunct El Cajon Brewing Company.
Located at the intersection of Magnolia and Main, URBN St. occupies prime East County real estate. And now that the URBN Restaurant Group has had its way with the space, it looks deserving of it. An earth-toned color palate is complemented by interiors featuring numerous shipping palettes (complete as well as torn down to create a wall separating the main dining room from a banquet space), wheeled wooden tables, and barrels used for aging beer. Guests can watch pizza being made through a glass-encased kitchen, or watch Ryan tooling around his exposed brewery, making for a complete brewpub experience. Best of all, to me, it doesn't feel too URBN-ized. This space is its own instead of a redux of the North Park flagship or its Vista cousin.
The menu is predictably URBN, which works. The company's Connecticut-style coal-fired pizza and zesty baked wings have survived transport to El Cajon intact. A breakfast pizza (fried eggs, mashed potato, chorizo, cheese and a side of Tapatio hot sauce) I shared along with a sampler flight of house beers was fantastic, perhaps the best pizza I've had at an URBN establishment. The dough was well cooked, but not burnt as it sometimes can be at the high temperatures produced by the coal-fired oven.
Most of the beers I had were of the first generation variety. One, a porter, was actually a brew Ryan produced specifically to flush out the brewery, which was left in shambles by the previous owners, complete with stale beer sitting stagnant in the fermentation tanks. But you'd never know it. An inventive malt bill keeps the beer in line with style, bringing on a deep toastiness in the finish that pairs up well with URBN's meatballs.
All of Ryan's other beers were less improvisational, especially a saison he refers to as his "baby." Were I capable of producing such a brilliant farmhouse-style ale, I'd claim parent status, too. It delivered such potent, floral Belgian yeast character and drank so easily that it reminded me of saisons I've sampled while in Belgium. It was the runaway champion of my flight night. Also impressive was an EESB (extra extra special bitter) that dares to be overtly malty, enough that it's named Malt Bomb. Flavors of caramel, toffee, and roasted chestnuts combine to form a liquid quilt of many patches that, put together, are fashionable.
A summer ale welcomes drinkers to the glass with an inviting, citrusy nose. On the palate, it's light and balanced in its hop character; an ideal beer for hot El Cajon summers. The house IPA has more body, but comes across as a work in progress to me. A brown ale that I was enamored with when I tasted Ryan's prototype beers is nice, but doesn't exhibit the interesting and tasty pretzel-like flavor characteristics it did in its early form. I'm hoping they return in future batches so URBN St. patrons can taste that in tandem with pizza crust, as it's sure to be a superb pairing.
It took some patience, but I was happy with my first trip to URBN St. I never doubted the heart of its creators, nor the fact their drive and ambition easily eclipsed that of El Cajon Brewing's originators, but intention and execution are two different things. Fortunately, especially for El Cajon residents, URBN St. gets good scores for both.

Specialist Amanda Sumner is one of the first to make contact on the Earth-like planet Harp and discovers she's the only Earthling, who can hear the trees sing in the strange forest. Determined to remain and learn more of the planet's secrets, Amanda sets out to become part of the elite Guild there...
But there is a secret involving some Guild members–one that could get her killed.
Shifter Rhodry de Mendoza wants the Earthlings off his planet before they destroy it—even if that means denying what he feels for the fierce and lovely Amanda. The pair is thrown together in what becomes a fight for their lives. And they might just lose everything–including each other–in their battle for the right to live in peace.
I began this book a while ago, then left it by the wayside because it was difficult to get into the action immediately. Picking it up months later and soldering on with more patience, 'Shifter Planet' turned out to be a rewarding and imaginative read that got better and better as the story wore on. Despite the rich world-building, much of it really is about Lieutenant Amanda Sumner's (somewhat unexplained) ties to a beautiful planet called Harp and her decision to stay after a future Earth forges a trade treaty with its inhabitant. Plunged immediately into politics that she finds herself nearly unable to handle, Amanda is determined to settle in this place as one of them while seeking membership in the Guild: an all-male, royalty-infused, testosterone-filled hunter-shifter club.
It's only after a rather bloated setup that the story really takes off, taking on the aplomb of a quest-like journey that combines the archetypes of fantasy writing and the action-adventure thrills of cinema while building on a romance that was long time in coming.
A lot of 'Shifter Planet' reads like a novelisation of the pro-feminist movement, where a solitary woman takes on a very exclusive group of shapeshifter-hunter-guildsmen, with every odd stacked against her and wins, even managing to save the hero in the process. Not that I'm against the values of equal rights for women, but Amanda's occasional petulance seemed an unnecessary overcompensation for the slights she faces at every turn. Thankfully, Amanda isn't too much of a superwoman where every shred of vulnerability has been fully trained out of her. Without the claws and the natural strength and ability of the shifters, she's left with her ingenuity, wits and training to survive but not without injuries and blows on the way, which didn't place her straight in the unreachable heights of the stratosphere where only unrealistic heroines dwell.
But the back-burner romance, while gratifying to read because it isn't instant love, was left in embers with the hurried declarations of love immediately after the fallout. While I loved their time together after Amanda rescues Rhodry, the ending left me wondering if someone had deliberately torn out the last pages of their story because there was still so much more of this pairing that could have been explored after the trials and aftermath but wasn't.

Drafting is the drawing or designing of an entity to be manufactured, produced or constructed, such as machines or buildings.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the digital manipulation of the drafting process in two- and three-dimensions. Antelope Valley College's drafting and computer aided design program utilizes state-of-the-art computers, printers and plotters, as well as industry standard software such as AutoCAD.
What certificates/degrees can I earn?
- Drafting/computer aided design certificate
- Associate in Science degree in drafting/computer aided design
What will I learn?
You will learn how to draw two- and three-dimensional diagrams and plans, using both conventional materials and computer software. This allows you to take mechanical drafting techniques and blueprints and interface them with the capabilities of a computer to design and produce plans that can be easily modified and further developed without starting over. You will learn engineering principles, use of traditional and digital instruments, construction methods, applied geometry and pictorial drawing.
What kinds of classes are offered?
The course schedule offered for the drafting certificate and associate degree are a blend of drafting, electronics and engineering classes designed to give you working knowledge of the mechanical, architectural, electronic and aerospace fields of engineering as it relates to the industry and transfer through AVC's Engineering Program.
What are possible jobs in this field?
Today's technological society relies on the skills and abilities of talented computer aided design drafters to solve problems, develop new products and redesign outdated schematics. It is possible to be hired solely as a computer aided design drafter. However, since this program is not a transfer major, many students enter the engineering program, which relies heavily on the computer aided drafting skills you can learn in this program.
Who could hire me?
Drafting personnel can find jobs in any field where products or structures are being manufactured. Locally, this ranges from assistants to city civil engineers to aerospace drafting jobs with companies such as the Lockheed Martin Corporation.
What's the average pay range for local jobs in this field?
Pay ranges widely, depending on employer and experience.
Sounds great! How do I get more information?

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the heat with chile pepper and salt to taste.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a rubber spatula and mix well with gentle folding strokes to keep the guacamole as chunky as possible.
Grill the hot dogs or sausages and the bread
Heat the broiler of a small or conventional oven.
Grill the hot dogs cut side down on a griddle or oven-safe skillet on the stovetop for about 2 minutes per side at medium high heat. Turn the heat off. Distribute the cheese evenly over the hot dogs. Transfer the griddle or skillet to the oven and melt the cheese under the broiler for 2 minutes.
On a separate grill or skillet, grill the buns on the inside only for 2 minutes. Do this in several batches if needed.
Sandwich Assembly
Spread a heaping tablespoon of guacamole on the bottom half of the grilled bun.
Place the grilled hot dog or sausage melt on top.
Top the sandwich with condiments of choice.
Garnish with the slaw.
Tips from Guatemalan Chef Amalia Moreno-Damgaard
To make carrot confetti, buy shredded carrots and chop them in the food processor using the pulse button.
Chorizo requires longer cooking time as it is usually packaged raw. Ideally, grill it whole and then slice it lengthwise to expose the inner part to the grill for 2 minutes.
Fresh chorizo is available at many Latin markets and some major grocery stores in the U.S. Call in advance for availability.
Hot dogs typically come in packages of 8. The sandwich can be made as an open-faced sandwich and in this case, only 4 bolillo buns would be needed.
The slaw and guacamole can be prepared in advance. For best results, melt the cheese, add condiments of choice and garnish right before serving.

Tiger Stop Stretched Belt
Forum Responses
From contributor J:
$700 sounds crazy for a belt. Try a local bearing supply house. Most of these places will sell belts, or have them custom made.
From the original questioner:
The company has told me I need a new belt and they should be replaced every three years. There is a small amount of adjustment that can be made under "lash", but it's minimal.

CALL for Action (414) 286-CITY | Click for Action
Local Business Action Team
Created by the Milwaukee Common Council in 2014, the Local Business Action Team (LBAT) – a group of city officials and local business leaders – was tasked with streamlining the city's permitting, licensing and inspection process to make it more user-friendly for small and locally-owned businesses. The LBAT engaged local business leaders and gathered input in order to draft a series of recommended reforms for Common Council consideration.
To that end, during March 2015 the LBAT hosted a series of forums, inviting Milwaukee business leaders and small business owners to offer comments, ideas and suggestions about ways the city can be more user-friendly for small businesses. As a result, the repeal of outdated ordinances has been a first step in streamlining and simplifying city laws and processes surrounding business licensing. More changes are planned.
If you want to offer comments and feedback about ways the City of Milwaukee can become more "business friendly," please send your suggestions and ideas to email@example.com.
