All I can say is "What the fuck". Just what in the entirety of fucks?
DISCLAMER: Do not make this shit, it's nasty. This is for you to laugh at me and not to torture yourself with.
Ok, so here I am feeling super exotic and spicy I bought a cookie book and thought to try one of the recipes inside. "ooh, look. An apple sauce cookie. I like cookies, I like applesauce. Add some cranberries? This will be amazing" It wasn't. Lord, I don't know what I had expected of them, but they really were not that.
Ok, I'm going to post the recipe below and if you can spot where I fucked up or how I should make them rather, I would really appreciate it. Let's go then.
The ingredients of the nasty
- 115g butter
- 60g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 300g All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 225g unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons water
The method behind the nasty
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius
- Mix dry ingredients, excluding sugar, together and set aside
- Beat egg and sugar until fluffy. Once fluffy add one egg and mix until fully combined.
- Mix one third of dry ingredients followed by apple sauce, continue process until fully combined. Add water if the mix is too dry.
- Drop a teaspoon full onto prepared baking sheet for 12-15 minutes.
- Once baked, allow to cool on cookie sheet.
All the things about the nasty
Guys, I don't know. I tried tracking back my mistakes, the only thing I did differently was make my own apple sauce because I couldn't find any in store. Maybe that was the coup de gras of an already shady cookie, maybe I deserve this for not following the recipe to the T, maybe I deserve this.
The apple sauce was amazing, those Fuji Apples and molasses are the plug. I really should have just made an apple pie and not this shit.
This thing was not a cookie. It tasted of straight out of the oven while still warm because it had the texture of a scone. Don't get me wrong, I love scones, but I like scones when I make scones, not when I'm making freaking cookies, that is not the objective. Also, scones are so much easier to make than this abomination.
Why do they look underdone no matter how long I bake them? Why is the taste of apple sauce so faint? What did I really expect? I don't know ok, I am not perfect and these nasties are proof of this. I don't even feel like figuring out how to fix them, I just want to throw it away. Ok fine, I'll try again at some point.
Anywhoo, go right ahead and laugh at me if you will. I deserve it, I mean look how disgusting these shits look…

Norm Smith made AFL Legend
Six-time premiership coach Norm Smith has been made a Legend of the AFL at the Australian Football Hall of Fame dinner in Melbourne on Thursday night.
Smith, whose name is on the medal given to the best player in the grand final each year, coached Melbourne to six premierships between 1955 and 1964 and won another four flags as a player.
Smith, who was named full forward and coach in the Demons' Team of the Century, becomes the 21st Legend in the game's history.
Eight players were also inducted into the Hall of Fame on the night - Robert DiPierdomenico, Darren Jarman, Frank Johnson, Paul Kelly, Michael Long, Dean Kemp, Murray Weideman and Bob McLean.
Jarman was a member of Hawthorn's premiership side in 1991 before winning back-to-back flags with Adelaide in 1997 and 1998.
He said he had fond memories of his time with the Hawks, especially playing alongside fellow inductee DiPierdomenico.
"They (Hawthorn) would pair you up with a senior partner or a team-mate and I was fortunate, or lucky, to get Dipper and it was amazing," he said.
"In 1990, who would have thought the two partners would have been up on the same night?"

Severe fire damage caused to building in Sutton on Sea
Severe damage has been caused to 40% of a derelict building in Sutton on Sea after a fire yesterday evening.
The fire on South Road broke out at 6.50pm on July 4, with crews from Mablethorpe, Alford and Skegness attended.
Firefighters also requested the aerial ladder platform based in Boston.
Crews used four main jets, four hose reels, two breathing apparatus and thermal imaging cameras to extinguish the fire.
The cause is still under investigation.
However, police would like to trace two teenage boys who were seen in the area at the time.
The first boy is described as wearing a grey hooded top and aged about 16.
Police have said that the second boy is aged 11 and wearing a 2/3 blue waterproof coat and baseball cap.
Anyone who recognises these boys from the description should call Lincolnshire Police on 101.

Major construction set to start on W. Valley casino project — Sun City Daily News-Sun
Major construction work is set to begin on a new $400 million resort and casino – the West Valley's first such venture.
Officials with the Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise announced Wednesday that preliminary site work is complete on the project's first phase and that a team of contractors, led by Hunt Construction Group and PENTA Building Group, is ready to begin building the initial structure. That venue, which will take no more than 12 months to finish, will house gaming areas and two restaurants, serving as the casino while builders put up the main gaming area. The permanent facility should be up by early 2016.
"There'll be gambling there this time next year," said Glendale Councilman Ian Hugh, one of the project's supporters.
"It's exciting to see something finally going on there," added Councilman Gary Sherwood.

Van Mahotsav – Rooting for Sustainability
Forests are the key resources to build a sustainable future for our planet – the vision of K.M. Munshi, Founder of the Annual Tree Planting Movement in India. For the last 68 years, this humble festival has grown into a nation-wide movement, which has resulted in people planting millions of saplings across the country every year.
But what links forest with sustainability? Let's find out:
Forests – the lungs of planet Earth
Being the largest source of green cover across the world, it is no surprise that forests play a key role in keeping the atmospheric carbon dioxide in check. Despite them taking up only 2% of Earth's surface, forests alone produce roughly one- third of the earth's oxygen. They also contribute significantly to carbon sequestration into the soil, enhancing its fertility.
Safe-house of biodiversity
Forests are home to about 11% of plant diversity and also house a vast majority of the planet's terrestrial species. Together, they create a rich source of biological diversity, which is essential to sustain life on planet Earth and feed humanity.
To learn more about the importance of Biodiversity in feeding mankind, read:
Biological Diversity: The Key to Feeding Humanity
Trees contribute to agriculture and food
In addition to increasing forest cover, trees also play a vital role in agriculture. Their foliage acts as a shade to sensitive plants during the scorching heat. A tree's deep boring roots help pull out nutrition from the lower levels of soil which smaller plants are unable to reach for. There are also several trees which bear delicious fruits, that are essential for our nutritional needs.
How can we protect trees?
Unsustainable agricultural practices, along with rapid urbanization have contributed greatly to the reduction of earth's forest cover. . Now, more than ever, it is important for the agriculture industry to adopt newer, sustainable practices which will help conserve our forests.
Through modern agriculture we can maximize yields while optimally consuming our limited resources such as land and water, thus saving our forests. By combining precision farming with high yielding hybrids, we can produce more from every acre of existing farmland and help meet mankind's growing needs.
To learn more about how modern agriculture can help save forests, read:
Enough Deforestation, let's talk Afforestation
Our forests are a source of life for our planet. With an ever increasing scarcity of land and other resources, forests are the first to be chopped down – endangering millions of species, including ours. By working together, we can protect our forests and even help them grow – building a greener, sustainable future for planet Earth.

One year ago I began my quest to obtain my Master of Photographic Arts designation through the Professional Photographers of Canada. Today I received notice that my first step is now completed with the approval of my submission for accreditation in the category of Fine Art – Photo Decor. Obtaining this accreditation qualifies me for the designation of Licentiate – Professional Photographer of Ontario (LPPO). To qualify for any accreditation, one must submit ten images in their area of expertise and all ten must be accepted by the jury… you need 100% to pass this exam!

I have not ever really liked to have other people tell me what to do, so that is a big thing to think about when I am planning out my life after school. I have had this one idea, but it is not really obvious to me how it is practical. I know this guy, he lives down the street and he owns his own house even though he is only twenty seven years old. Mostly what he does is web design, but it is a little more complicated than that. He does a few other things to make money, all of it has to do with computers and programming computers. In fact he does not leave his house to do his job, but I do not really understand it. It seems like he is doing it all as a contractor, rather like you hire some person to fix your house.
Of course if you want to be your own boss, then the obvious thing is that you need to have a skill that is marketable. It is really obvious that computers are the best thing to know about if you want to make money. Every aspect of the modern world is tied to computers, every person that you see has a pocket sized computer on them. That is what your smart phone really is obviously. That is where the future lies it would seem, personal computers are not selling like they used to it would seem. However everyone has a smart phone and a lot of people have to have the best and newest model every single year. Of course you will also have computers running everything in your house before too long, the house will have a brain and that is going to be something that is going to be important.

Chakra Activation System Review
Chakra Activation System happens to be the simplest, fastest as well as easiest method of upgrading, improving and enhancing your life.
It has the ability to power-up every aspect of your life. It is a guide that helps people regardless of gender to awaken, unblock and master control of their energy. This program gives you the ability to create, harness anything you may desire in life through imagining and manifesting. It grants you energy flow and in most cases the energy flow is noted immediately in people's quality, situations and events around you. This program simply gives you the ability to be in a position to attract anything you may desire or deserve in life. This system which was authored by Stephanie Mulac was developed, tested as well as fine-tuned by working with various clients and produced actual results.

Chakra Activation System achieves its intended results via its 7 spinning wheels of energy. The 7 spinning wheels are found along your spine, this applies from the top of your head to your feet. The human body has 7 spiritual power centers that control and energize vital body organs, which in turn affects your psychological, spiritual and physical health. Below are the 7 spinning wheels fond in Chakra Activation System:
Root Chakra
This happens to be the source of your contentment, joy, and happiness. If you feel that you are happy and contented with your current life then your root chakra is quite strong. If there is a particular area in your life that you feel you can't stand then your root chakra deserves some attention.
Sacral Chakra
Sacral chakra is found in your lower abdomen. When opened and in perfect balance you tend to feel quite energized. You feel like you are in a position to do just about anything. This can be as a result of people nourishing you and supporting you. A successful love life can also empower your sacral.
Solar Plexus Chakra
This is the chakra responsible for your vitality, energy levels as well as digestion. It generates energy to all your other chakras, keeping you as healthy as possible.
Heart Chakra
This is the chakra that gives you the ability to experience real love, empathy, and compassion. As soon as you open your heart chakra, you find yourself right in the middle of exciting, satisfying social circles abounding with new relationships, friendship as well as opportunities.
That's great! Click the button on your right and take the action now.
Throat Chakra
This is the chakra responsible for self-expression. Someone with an open and energized throat chakra finds people easily hanging on every word they utter and they are never afraid of voicing their opinions. If you find out that you are the kind of a person that fears even talking among friends, your throat chakra could be in need of attention since it could be clogged and closed off.
Third Eye Chakra
This is the energy center that is responsible for guiding your intuition, ensuring that you remain well-balanced and on-course so that you may always know where you ought to go. It is also responsible for giving you a perspective sense. Someone with a keen third eye chakra can easily spot the important details in something, especially the details most people miss.
Crown Chakra
This is the chakra that is directly on your head and it is responsible for determining the kind of a connection you have with The Source. It provides the best kind of spiritual awareness anyone could ever experience. If your crown chakra is fine then you feel a sought of grounded, aligned and connected feeling flowing through you.

Easy Pancakes
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups nondairy milk or water
dash cinnamon, optional
1. Lightly mix all ingredients in a fairly large bowl; leave 5-10 minutes to rise. It's important only to mix the batter enough to moisten, as overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
2. Gently fold down; leave again for 5-10 minutes if you have the time, and gently fold down again. (I don't usually bother, since everyone's starving!)
3. Cook over medium to medium-high on an oiled skillet until golden, carefully breaking apart any large lumps with the spatula. Serve immediately.
Oh. My. Goodess. These are the best pancakes ever. I subbed in a tablespoon of lemon juice for a some of the soymilk, and added a bit of lemon and orange zest. I also made an orange syrup for them, and they turned out light and fluffy- perfect! Thanks!
try this variation:
half spelt flour
half corm meal
sub almond milk for soy
top with walnuts, banana slices, and agave nectar!!
These were the best vegan pancakes I've ever made! My meat-eating family liked them as well!
I've been vegan for eight years, but I've just now started actually cooking. These pancakes are absolutely amazing. Why would you make pancakes from a box when it's so simple to make them from scratch, vegan or non vegan? I added vanilla and almond extract and cinnamon, as well.
I've made these twice now. They're really good-- I used melted coconut oil for the oil in the recipe as well as for cooking. However, the further along in the batch I get, the longer it seems to take them to cook. Not sure what's up with that. Still, it's a great recipe. They're great even cold! :)
I just made these, only I halved the recipe, I put in one teaspoon of vanilla essence and just under half a teaspoon of cinnamon, (although I'd probably do a little less next time), and these were amazing! My mum and my grandad (who is 79 and has very little time for "all that 'vegetarian nonsense', meat and dairy is there to be eaten") both absoutely LOVED these! My grandad couldn't stop singing their praises!
These were absolutely delicious! Although my only thing I can say is I had to cook mine on a really low heat, but this may be because of my mother's weird hob that seems determined to cook everything as quickly as possible, but on the scale of 1-9.5 I had to cook them on 3 because on 5 they burnt, and quickly.
Yum, I made these for brunch last week and they were great! I added vanilla extract and cinnamon for a bit more flavor. They were pretty dense, but I think my compulsive stirring is to blame so I'll try to go easy on that next time. Ack I'm getting hungry just thinking about the sweet pancakey goodness...

Week 5 – how are you doing? Are you getting ready for going back to school? But before you do, here are some more Gangsta Granny ideas, based on David Walliams' book:
- Can you make up some titles which include alliteration too – for example, Annoying Aunties, Groovy Grandads, Curious Cousins – and can you think of a story as well?
- Strictly Come Dancing is about to start – can you design some new costumes for the dancers (is there a Flavio Flaviolli?)
- Do you like the Argos catalogue? Why not create a page for the Queen's crowns and jewels? How much would you charge?
Don't forget! We need book reviews too!
Last week next week – don't miss it!

One factor that has buoyed U.S. stocks in recent years is high profit margins. Corporate profits as percent of the country's total output reached a record level of 10.8% in the first quarter of 2012, and they've gone even higher since then. In the third quarter of 2013 (the last period for which numbers are available) they reached a new record of 11%.
Part of the reason for record-high profitability may be the weak jobs market. Higher levels of unemployment since the financial crisis have resulted in less pressure on companies to increase their employees' wages, leading to lower costs and higher profits.
Some analysts suggest that record-setting profitability is a bearish sign for the stock market going forward, since profits presumably have nowhere to go but down (the long-term average for corporate profits as a percent of the country's total output is around 6.5%).
This decline may begin as the unemployment rate declines toward more normal levels (it's now 6.7%, down from a high of 10% in late 2009). That would serve as a headwind for stocks, offsetting some of the benefit from stronger economic growth.

As a member of Southshore Bible Church, I enter into the following covenant:
I covenant to prioritize my own spiritual growth by regularly reading the Bible and praying (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Timothy 2:8).
I covenant to work out my salvation by increasingly glorifying God by what I do and say. I shall seek to obey that which is clearly revealed in the Bible (Philippians 2:12-13).
I covenant to discern God's will according to my conscience in matters that are not clearly revealed in the Bible. I shall extend freedom to others to live according to their own personal conscience in these same matters without trying to bind them to my own personal standards and convictions (Romans 14:1-6).
I covenant to pursue unity with the members of Southshore as a true family in Christ. In keeping with my ability, and the appropriateness to do so, I shall seek to meet the relational, spiritual, practical, and material needs of my fellow members (Romans 12:9-18).
I covenant to love the members of Southshore with the same love with which God loves me, being quick to extend grace, mercy, and forgiveness when needed. I am committed to the biblical principles for reconciliation as outlined by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 18:15–35.
I covenant to be a contributing member of the church by:
(a) attending worship services and discipleship opportunities regularly (Hebrews 10:23-25);
(b) attending membership meetings (Acts 6:2);
(c) giving generously (2 Corinthians 9:6-7);
(d) serving in Southshore ministries that match my giftedness and desire (Ephesians 4:11-12)
I covenant to increasingly live out my biblical role in the family by seeking to understand and to exercise God's vision for me as a husband, wife, father, mother, son, or daughter. Likewise, I shall increasingly live out my biblical role in the workplace by seeking to understand and to exercise God's vision for me as an employer or employee (Colossians 3:18-24).
I covenant to submit to the Southshore elders for they are keeping watch over my soul as those who will have to give an account to Christ. I shall endeavour to make this oversight a joy for them (Hebrews 13:17).
I covenant to submit to the governing authorities of Barrie, Simcoe County, Ontario, and Canada because they are the Lord's servants in civil society, even if they do not know Christ. I shall make every effort to be a productive and contributing citizen (Romans 13:1-7).
I covenant to be ready to share the hope I have in Christ with anyone who asks and to prayerfully seek opportunities to do so (1 Peter 3:15).

The long wait is over: it's nearly time to welcome your child into the world. Those nine months of hoping and worrying will soon be rewarded with a beautiful little baby.
If you are planning to get to Switzerland by plane, you should aim to be in the country by the time you reach the 36th week of pregnancy. For health reasons, some airlines do not allow pregnant women to fly after this time. The airline may also require you to provide a medical certificate. Your gynaecologist will gladly help you organise the necessary paperwork.
Please let us know your due date well in advance, so that the necessary check-ups can be arranged with your chosen gynaecologist. The check-ups are usually scheduled every two weeks from the time you arrive in Switzerland until you give birth. Overnight stays at the hospital are not necessary. For your first check-up, we kindly ask you to bring all the medical reports you have received so far during your pregnancy, as well as any other relevant medical documentation.
If you would like to visit your chosen hospital in advance, we will happily organise an introductory meeting including a tour of the hospital. Please contact the Hirslanden International team to arrange an appointment.
The hospital administration requires the following documentation for the birth announcement and registry with the local registry office:
Copies of these documents must be authorised by a notary and must not be older than six months. The documents required may vary depending on the nationalities of the parents. We therefore recommend contacting the relevant registry office for binding advice regarding your specific case. After the birth, the hospital will submit all the necessary documents to the registry office for the registration of your child.
More information is available from the local registry office:
Now your baby will be registered with the registry office and you will receive an (international) birth
You must present the birth certificate at your country's embassy to register the birth of your newborn child and apply for an ID card or a passport, so that your child can legally leave Switzerland. For information regarding the necessary documents, please contact your embassy. The registry office will happily help you organise these documents. Please note that the birth registration which the hospital sends to the registry office is intended for internal use only. The hospital and the registry office are not permitted to pass it on to third parties. The birth registration issued by the hospital is not a legally binding document, which is why an official birth certificate is required.
You can return home when you and your baby are both doing well. The date should ideally be discussed with your gynaecologist and the paediatrician. If you have any other questions, such as when your baby is allowed to travel by plane, we recommend talking to your doctor.

The Liner Guard Floor Padding makes foam obsolete. Unlike foam, which can be easily cut by nut grass, roots or rocks under your liner, Liner Guard Padding is impervious to almost any sharp object, so it will virtually eliminate vinyl liner bottom leaks. It is super tough, but also adds a layer of cushioning that will stop footprints from forming. Each Liner Guard Pad is cut to size and seamed for your pool — no more cutting and taping as with foam. Sometimes known as Gorilla Floor Padding. Liner Guard is a geotextile type of product, not a foam product. The color of Liner Guard is gray.
By ordering a Liner Guard Floor Pad for your rectangular pool, you can either get the exact size of your pool or if we don't show your size, order a floor pad that is larger than your pool and cut it down to size.
You will love the smooth appearance of your pool when you install Liner Guard Floor Padding for protection prior to installing your swimming pool liner.
Feel confident in ordering Liner Guard Floor Padding because you know it is MADE IN THE USA!

The Best Music Games Have to Offer
Today we go over 12 of my favorite tracks in various situations across all the games I can think of. Much more lighthearted and opinion based than the last episode! Pastebin included at the end of description with timestamps. I solved my pop issue with some extreme measures, mostly. Audio is probably better now than it ever has been (Aside from places where I might of been lazy). Drinking game - Take a shot each time I say "but". Do you agree? Think I'm totally wrong?

How Roleplaying a Catgirl Revived My Social Life
Woo, folks this one was hard. I deleted and re-recorded sections many times. It doesn't really flow super well? I guess, because I recorded it over the last two months, trying to say the right words. It details my journey from hating role playing, to accepting that I am very happy playing a feminine character. It was a massive personal journey, and one I will be continuing with a smile. Mix of the surreal and humorous to start, then deeply and seriously personal at the end. Enjoy! Note to...

It is places like the Khao Hin Lek Fai that makes Hua Hin, a district in the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand, a favorite community for hosting the retirement of many foreigners and locals alike. Indeed, Hua Hin is home to innumerable expatriates, and their number is increasing each year without signs of slowing down. With attractions such as those Khao Hin Lek Fai provides, it is easy to see why.
The Khao Hin Lek Fai, a hill located roughly 3 kilometers west from the city center, provides a panoramic view of the province. The hilltop reaches up to 162 meters above the sea level and its peak covers an area of 140.8 acres of developed park. With a secluded public park on a breezy top of a hill, quiet activities like book-reading, sight-seeing or a simple relaxation all sound very appealing.
Likewise, jogging, cycling and doing exercise routines are popular activities on the top. The narrow trails are perfect for solitary jogs or jogging with one or two companions, and you can jog around the park or start from the foot of the hill. The climb up the top is steep, though, and is recommended only for the extremely fit. In fact, if you decide to go, it is best to have a motor vehicle transport you up the hill. It's a difficult climb but the view at the top would be really worth it.
The Khao Hin Lek Fai, also often called the Flintstone Hill, has 6 viewing points. Most would tell you that the best views are from points 4 through 6, but while you're on the top, you should try to see all the viewing areas yourself. To the South you'll see the Khao Takiab and to the North you'll see the neighboring beach town of Cha-Am.
Near the first viewing deck, you will also see a monument of the King Rama VII with information about his life inscribed on a stone. There is also an aviary at the top, although you should not expect to see anything more than peacocks. Still, you can roam about the park and enjoy the sceneries all around. The best time to go up is in the morning on a clear sunny day. The park is open from 6:00 A.M. till 8:00 P.M.
It is easy to get to the hill. It's an easy walk if you're used to walking. With the heat of Thailand added to the trip, however, it would be better to ride a tuk-tuk or one of the motorbike taxis that can take you up to the top of the hill. And because Hua Hin is a small town, all the local drivers would know where the hill is. From Highway Number 4, take the right road to Km. 331-332 and just go straight ahead until you reach the hill.
So if you want to see the beauty of Hua Hin and its surrounding towns from several kilometers above the ground, the Khao Hin Lek Fai is the perfect place to go to. You will be treated to a magnificent view of the land and everything beyond.

The Real Facts on AAA and Ethanol
(WASHINGTON, December 16, 2013)
Some outside organizations have inaccurately portrayed AAA as being against ethanol or the Renewable Fuels Standard. This is not true. AAA has long supported the use of alternative fuels including ethanol. We believe that ethanol-blended fuels have the potential to support jobs, promote American energy independence and reduce fuel costs. More than 95 percent of the gasoline sold in the United States is E10, while E85 is designed for use by flex-fuel vehicles.
Despite ethanol's benefits, AAA is concerned with the way the industry has introduced and marketed E15 to consumers. Most drivers are unaware of the potentially negative effects of E15 and have not been properly educated about this new fuel.
More than 90 percent of the vehicles on the road today are not approved by manufacturers to use E15, including nearly all 2001-2013 models. E15 is only approved for use by automakers in flex-fuel engines, 2001 and newer Porsches, and selected 2012 and newer vehicles where it is clearly specified in the owner's manual. Sustained use of E15 gasoline in vehicles not designed for its use could result in significant problems such as accelerated engine wear and failure, fuel-system damage and false check engine lights. Automakers are on record as saying their warranties will not cover claims caused by E15.
While new cars increasingly can use E15 gasoline, previous makes and models were never designed to use the fuel. It will still take at least another decade before the bulk of the fleet will be E15 compatible given that the average vehicle remains in use for more than 11 years.
Ethanol producers have proposed expanding sales of E15 gasoline to help meet a federal requirement called the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS). The RFS requires renewable fuels such as ethanol to be blended into gasoline in increasing amounts each year. When Congress passed the law, experts predicted that U.S. gasoline consumption would continue to rise, which would support correspondingly higher ethanol use. This has proven incorrect as gasoline consumption has remained relatively flat due to more fuel efficient vehicles, a weaker economy and changes in driving habits.
The volume of ethanol originally required by law in the Renewable Fuels Standard next year is likely to exceed 10 percent of the fuel supply. Exceeding this level is known as the "blend wall," given that most gasoline contains 10 percent ethanol. The EPA does not believe it is possible to meet the RFS next year given market and infrastructure limitations with both E15 and E85, and has proposed reducing requirements to avoid the blend wall.
Blenders unable to meet RFS requirements would be subject to significant fines, which could incentivize gasoline exports or burden producers with unsustainable costs. These consequences could restrict gasoline supplies and result in significant increases in gas prices paid by consumers.
It is for these reasons we have called for a reduction in requirements to the Renewable Fuels Standard for next year and support the EPA's efforts to reduce targets to protect consumers. While ethanol has the potential to support the economy and reduce the reliance on fossil fuels, it is irresponsible to mandate more ethanol than cars can safely use.

Filling a gas tank in San Diego has become a battle, and there is no sense in fighting it alone.
In the wake of price hikes across the county, NBC San Diego presents the cheapest reported gas in San Diego, courtesy of FuelTracker.com and reader feedback as of Monday, March 7.
If you find gas cheaper, report it as a Fuel Tracker "gas spy," or message NBCSanDiego on Twitter.
Charles Langley, gas price analyst at UCan, said San Diego could be looking at its largest price jump in years over the coming days.
"You really need to get out now and fill up," said Bob Hansen, consumer reporter. "The longer you wait, the more you will pay, so fill your tank now."

The grounding, refloating and transportation of the Transocean Winner from Lewis has cost rig owners Transocean $21 million dollars they have confirmed.
Figures released by the oil giants have confirmed the sum related to the Winner accrued so far during their third quarter earnings call.
The final figure for the Winner could climb even higher as the $21 million figure reportedly does not include the most recent loading operations which was done with the heavy lift ship The Hawk in Broadbay last month.
Transocean confirmed: "$21 million was related to the grounding, salvage and preparation for recycling of the Transocean Winner."
The Winner was infamously grounded on Dalmore Beach on August 8 where it remained for several weeks before a successful re floatation saw it towed to the more sheltered Broadbay.
The 17,000-tonne oil rig ended it's two month stay on Lewis in mid-October when it began a journey to Malta on the Hawk.
It was later transported to Turkey for recycling.
Transocean have since made a £120,000 donation to the Comhairle as a thank you gift following the arrival of the grounded oil rig.

Is he assuming we could've found another salary dump to take for a 1st? Was Portland offering a 1st if we took a worse player/contract? That being said, how much totally dead salary & late 1sts did we really want? We had a 1st & 2nd via the Carroll trade. For all we know, we may have drafted Musa & Kurucs with the 2 1sts, so who did we really miss out on? Diallo, KBD?
We can't discount the fact that we were also able to unload $20mil of Nicholson in the deal.
When all is said & done, the Crabbe trade hasn't really hurt us yet. If we have to use something significant to dump his final year in the offseason, then it hurts a bit. Until then, yes it's probably his worst move, but it hasn't been a significant hindrance yet (it may never be).
to me it just seemed like a dumb forced move at a time when there was no reason to be crass.. i love the nets drafting, but maybe thats more on the scouts? what i do know is that all we have done is throw stupid money at role guys.
it was just crabbe... tyler johnson, kent bazemore, marvin williams, dudley the first time, otto porter.
those are all some pretty awful deals. i think marks has a ways to go in free agency
It's rare that a guy hits FA & doesn't get "overpaid." If we were the only ones throwing that kind of money around for those guys, it would be a valid criticism, but the truth is all of those guys had more than just us willing to throw that amount of money at them. That was/is the market. It's easy to say, let DLo walk, don't give Harris/Middleton $100+mil, etc. but you can't improve if you refuse to provide competitive pay. Very few guys that are not on rookie deals are considered underpaid. Most of the ones that are, are stars whose value exceed the max allowable contract.
of course you need to overpay... just dont overpay role players.... over pay all-stars, overpay superstars, and overpay low level players with some upside (joe harris/dinwiddie/anthony bennett/etc). this way you either have talent or cap. use that cap on picks if no one will take it and build via draft
other teams dumb enough to give role players 20-30 million shoudlnt be our concern. be one of the smart ones

What began last fall as a half-year internship working with children with special learning needs at Nassau BOCES (board of cooperative educational services) has grown into a yearlong experience for me. Rather than leaving in December 2013, I signed a one-year contract with BOCES as a psychology intern. I love working with the children, and it brings me joy to see that I am having a positive influence on their lives.
As a psychology intern, I facilitate counseling for children with special learning needs and create and execute lessons to teach basic cognitive and behavioral skills. I also observe and collect data based on the children's behavior and performance in class.
I have learned different intervention techniques for helping children cope with social anxiety, and, most importantly, I have gained clinical knowledge and experience in counseling young children.
The internship has brought light to a whole new area of knowledge and has helped me crystalize my career goals. I am able to take the theories I learned from my other classes and apply them to real situations, and I've confirmed that I want to be a clinical child psychologist.

WHO promotes active living by supporting and implementing activities in Member States. There are many new initiatives under way that help people increase their physical activity, ranging from cities building safe cycling lanes, to family doctors setting up activity groups or making "physical activity prescriptions", to supporting groups in the community who can bring people together to enjoy themselves and get fit.
One of WHO's activities is the Move for Health initiative, which advocates the benefits of physical activity and generates public awareness by highlighting good practice.
WHO/Europe also facilitates the European network for the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA Europe), which works towards physical activity promotion in health policy and in other relevant sectors in Europe. Its network of European experts produces practical tools, guidelines and case studies, which are being used across the Region. It also participates in research activities.

Matthew quite literally wrote the book on moonshine entitled, Moonshine!. He may be one of the only people this side of the Schlesinger Library with more cookbooks than I. In recent days he has discussed mid century glass making, George Orwell's essay on picking hops, and he previewed his talk for the 13th annual Tiki Oasis celebration; a talk entitled, Squirrel Whiskey, Monkey Rum, and Sweet Spirit of Cats a'Fighting: The Taming of American Moonshine.
His last post was on cobblers, of the liquid variety; specifically, a Blood Orange Cobbler with Lillet. The drink is a winner. First there is blood orange liqueur. Then there is Lillet. Finally there is marmalade. As a big preserve maker, I look for every chance to add a bit of jam to my drinks.
That being said, for the Fourth of July, I needed a big jug of something to quench the crowd while I cooked (and washed dishes, and set up the fireworks!) I was margaritaed out! While I was preparing for the arrival of guests, I ran across a large bottle of Italian Blood Orange soda that had been moved to the back of the larder, so I set it out. One of my guests had traveled with an orange that landed on the counter. Last summer at the beach, I had picked up a bottle of Dogfish Head's blood orange vodka. Of course there was a big bottle of blood orange bitters, so the drink made itself. I was looking for a zippy name, but I just told the crowd it was a blood orange punch -- hey it packed a punch!
Blood Orange PunchIt is insufferably hot here so we have made the air-conditioner the official summer burn pit. Grab a drink and settle in. In the meantime, check out Rowley's Whiskey Forge. Matthew Rowley is definitely someone you want around your burn pit.
1 bottle of Italian Blood Orange soda
2 cups blood orange vodka
10 to 12 shakes of blood orange bitters
Mix and pour over a big block of ice and sliced oranges.

Robert Glancy has written a, frequently very amusing, short gem of a book about Frank, a lawyer who specialises in the small print conditions in contracts. Frank is especially sought out by insurance companies because he is an expert in the use of "Force Majeure" (Act of God) - the ultimate opt-out clause to ensure that everything from weather to unforeseen incidents will get his client off the hook.
One day Frank wakes up in hospital after a serious auto accident with amnesia. Slowly he regains some memory of who he was, his family and what he does. Glancy documents Frank's recovery in the same way as his contracts, with frequent footnotes in small print. The largest block of small print is when he has sex with his wife Alice for the first time after the accident. Afterwards (still in small print) Frank observes that he still doesn't remember or really know his wife.
The real gem of the story comes as Frank slowly regains his memory and realises what a wimp he was and still is and how he has been manipulated by his family, wife and friends into becoming what he is. His wife Alice ignores him and is absorbed in her work as an HR Executive and his elder brother, Oscar, as head of the family law firm, treats him as a minor but valued employee who enhances the firm's coffers by producing watertight contracts that nobody reads.The only person who stands out from the crowd is his brother Malcolm (Malc) who sends him amusing emails about his meaningless travels around the world (from the very descriptive email address - email@example.com).
Gradually Frank realises what a mess his old life was. After a lot of soul searching, one day he decides that he has to do something to change things. His first momentous decision was to change the font size of the small print in his contracts from Arial Eight to Arial Nine. His response is "Wow! I considered going to ten but, easy now, that was too radical." His changes from then become more radical and pretty hilarious, especially the ending.
My only reservation about this book is the small print. The publisher, following the spirit of the book, decided to print it in a font size that was smaller than my reading comfort zone (and with specs I have perfect vision) and the small print was almost impossible to read. Like the new Frank I would have preferred the font to be increased by at least one size.

One of the most picturesque final approaches in Europe is the one into Geneva airport, which mostly lets you enjoy a wonderful mountain panorama combined with fantastic lake views as the plane smoothly glides towards the runway. Astonishingly, I had never had a layover here in the past 20 years. But that was just about to change.
It was the third overnight during a four nights Early Bird pattern, yet getting up at 3:30 am would not prevent me from exploring one of the few European cities that I had never really been to (except going back and forth). And since the cabin crew went along quite well, it was the three of us heading out together.
Most of our hotels are normally well located in or close to the city centers. Here in Geneva, we stay close to the airport. But with a fab gym and huge indoor pool as well as a close-by bus stop, it was actually a great compromise which also came with a free bus ticket to use the entire day. How wonderful is that?
So we did not lose much time after our arrival to the hotel at early afternoon, got changed and just moments later found ourselves already aboard Bus 5 with direction towards the city center. A good place to exit is Place de Cornavin which is right in front of the main train station.
From here it was just a 10 minutes walk down Rue des Alpes towards the lake. The famous Jet d´Eau (water fountain) is probably the most prominent site and a landmark for Geneva.
The fountain was originally built as a pressure relief valve for the water pipes that supplied the jewelry makers´machines and reaches around 140 meters in height. In 1891 it was transferred into the lake basin to become one of the city´s most photographed site.
From the Pont du Mont-Blanc you can take a beautiful 180 degree panorama of the city and the lake inlcuding the fountain.
Jardin Anglais is a beautiful public park right at the lake´s shore where people gathered to enjoy this beautiful and sunny winter´s day. From here, it was only a short hop over to the main shopping pedestrian zone called Rue de la Croix-d´Or. Switzerland is one of Europe´s most expensive countries and you can find all the big luxury brands, as well as main stream shops such as Zara, H&M and others all around this area.
Towering above the elegant scenery is the massive cathedral up the hill. This is where you will find the historic part of town of Geneva. Very reminiscent of a traditional French town.
The beautiful square Bourg-de-Four came just at perfect timing for a café au lait in the warm winter sun. The terrace of cafe La Clémence was so inviting and the hip and international crowd was absolutely fun to watch.
As it was already 3 pm, there was not much time left to walk these historic side streets before it would get dark again.
So without looking at a map, we decided to just stroll through the picturesque scenery, soaking up the beauty of each moment that was waiting behind each corner.
We made a quick stop at the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève, which I found to be rather unspectacular from the inside though. I have to admit, that Gothic architecture is just partly my thing.
The Old Arsenal displays a series of canons decorated by mosaics portraying Caesar's arrival in the city in 58 B.C. .
The Promenade de la Treille offers great views over the university and the mountain ranges in the background.
Unfortunately, it was already time to head back to the hotel. I would have loved to see a bit more of this beautiful Swiss city, but it looked like I needed to come back another time. At least, I could snap a few more photographic impressions on the way back towards the main station.
So, I would say a pretty neat destination for a romantic getaway combined with (expensive) shopping and French inspired cuisine, don´t you think? If you want to know more about what you can explore in town, click here.

Darkness fell a little sooner now than it had done on the night of the village fete, but as I hurried along the field path towards Back lane there was still light left in the sky. A rich green aftermath had grown on great ley and over it a white owl floated, wings motionless, the disc of its face turned down to where tiny creatures doubtless crouched and shook. Home Field was invisible beyond a line of field maples and dog-roses on my right, but as I crossed into Greenleaze the view opened up to the stark corn stubble and the clump of alders, black as pitch against an opaline sky, that marked where the horse-pond was.
I stood a moment, my arms folded across my chest against the evening breeze, listening to a robin spill its plaintive song down from somewhere in the hedge. I couldn't have said why, but I wanted to see the pond again; I wanted to stand on the bank where I had stood two weeks ago in the moonlight, utterly possessed by the conviction that I had to go in. It would only delay me by a few minutes, I calculated; and the soil was dry around the shorn wheat stalks and strewn with flints, so I did not think the earth would cling to my sandals.
I can't rightly say what I was searching for there at the edge of the dark water; but what I found was Edmund's body, flyblown and stinking, his breast torn open and his heart removed from its bloody cavity, his once-bright eyes picked out by crows.
As soon as I emerged from the cut onto the street I could hear Connie's meeting. The Bell & Hare was rowdy with voices and hubbub, and there by the green, Elmbourne darkening around me, the sound of it brought me up short. But I couldn't turn and walk home again, not now, for the discovery of Edmund's body had left my blood singing strangely in my ears. Compulsively, I traced a witch-mark on the goose-bumped flesh of my hip.
I took a breath and let it out slowly. I knew there was likely a door at the back of the inn somewhere, but I didn't dare try it; it seemed even worse to me to be caught trespassing in the private part of the inn than to risk making a spectacle of myself by going in where everyone could see. So, heart thumping, I crossed the road, thumbed down the iron latch and pushed open the door.
The air was hot and humid, and thick with the smell of hops and tobacco smoke. No-one turned to see me slip in, or seemed to feel the breath of night air I brought with me. I latched the door behind me and stood a moment to try to understand what was taking place.
All the tables in the tap-room on my left were taken, and men were standing between them, holding their mugs of beer; I had never seen the inn so full. I was glad to see some women at the tables: Elisabeth Allingham from Copdock, Mrs Godbold and one or two others. There was my father, red-faced at a corner table with grandfather next to him, and my stomach lurched as I saw Alf rose, laughing, on Father's other side. Frank and Sid sat on stools with their backs toward me; none saw me, I felt sure, as I ducked back quickly and stood once again just inside the inn door.
The bar-room, on the right, had had its tables entirely removed, and all I could see at first were backs, so that for a moment it looked almost as though I had arrived late for church: jackets and waistcoats, shirtsleeves, a press of men. But unlike the reverent atmosphere in St Anne's there was a loud clamour of voices, and it was clear that this was where the meeting itself was being held – or perhaps had been held, for nobody seemed to be making a speech. I realised that in delaying at home I had probably missed it, and that I might as well just slip out again and walk home.
But just then I heard Connie's voice rising easily over the crowd and saw that she was standing in the entrance to the snug at the back, which was raised up a little by a step from the floor of the main bar-room. Six wormy, vertical timbers were all that remained of the snug's long-gone stud wall, and she stood in the gap where once there must have been a door. I craned to see her between all the men's heads; her height, and the step she stood on, gave her an advantage. She was wearing what looked like a shepherd's smock, but in silk, tucked into a narrow grey skirt; her hair had been set into loose waves and was held at the side with a barrette adorned with a yellow oxlip. She looked wonderful.
'Dear friends and neighbours, thank you again, and let me beg just one more moment of your time,' she called out. She looked happy, perhaps almost tri-umphant, and as the hubbub died down, she gave one of her dazzling smiles.
'You've been kind enough to listen as Mr Seton Ritter set out the great need in our country now for the Order of English Yeomanry, and explained a little to you about our beliefs and our aims. The Order is made up of honourable patriots, people like Hugo – like Mr Seton Ritter here – and myself, and growing numbers of farmers like your own George Mather, too: ordinary Englishmen who believe in progress and in fairness, who decry the enthronement of international money-lending, the centralisation of markets, and modern urban industrialism. People who are not afraid to question the high-handed edicts of the league of nations or the P.E.P., and who above all understand the irreplaceable value of our rural traditions, and wish to protect the health and the purity of our English soil.'
There was a rumble of assent from the crowd. Connie was doing rather well, I thought; it all seemed eminently sensible, though I wondered what the P.E.P. Was, and resolved to ask her later if I got the chance. It was a surprise to hear that Father had joined her club, or party, or whatever it was; I wondered if mother knew.
'Many of you here belong to an agricultural union. The Order of English Yeomanry does not require that you give up these loyalties, for while there are important concerns to be raised about the evil of Bolshevism, we believe that the re-creation of a vigorous indigenous peasantry – one with a true stake in the future of this country – is by far the more pressing goal.
'Therefore, if you have agreed with our speeches tonight, I would ask you to consider joining your neighbour George Mather in this, the local chapter of our order. The cost is a shilling; but tonight you need only give me your names. I shall be here until closing time – oh, and before I forget,' she said, holding up a copy of a magazine, 'I've more copies of our weekly publication here, The English Pioneer; it's usually a penny, but tonight they're free for you all to take away, so please help yourselves, if you haven't taken one already. I write a regular piece in each issue myself, and I think you'll agree it's a good read for all the family.'
She grinned at us, said 'thank you' again, and sat down next to an elegantly dressed man in spectacles, who I presumed was Mr Seton Ritter; I recognised Mr Chalcott, her friend the photographer, in the snug too. But just as the roar of conversation began to swell again, a fair, stocky man shouldered his way up the step to the snug and turned to face the room. It was John.
'I have something to say to you all, friends, if you'll grant me a moment.'
Behind the bar the landlord folded his arms. There came a stillness now to the men's backs such as hadn't been there when Connie had been speaking, and again I was reminded of church.
'We've seen a lot of Miss FitzAllen at Wych Farm this summer, and heard a lot about her ideas,' he said. 'In fact she's become a regular fixture – out in the fields, too, where I'll allow she's been of some use. Now, you all know me for a fair man, and not one to speak out of turn. But I must say to you tonight that this woman is not all she seems.'
The inn was utterly silent; even the low murmur of conversation from the tap-room had stilled. I saw that Father and Sid rose had got up from their seats and were craning to see through into the public bar. By standing on tip-toe I could just about glimpse Connie's face in the shadows behind John, wearing a fixed expression. I felt sick with embarrassment, and angry on her behalf.
'Mr Seton Ritter here has talked to you tonight of patriotism, and duty to one's countrymen, and the bonds of blood and soil. Now, I don't hold with everything he's said – not at all – but I believe him to be a man of honour. In the War he was Lieutenant-Colonel Seton Ritter, and he's had the D.S.M. and the Military Cross. To my mind, he has taken the wrong course since then, but I respect him nonetheless.
'Miss FitzAllen, however –'
Connie made as though to get up, but John simply turned and looked at her, and she sat back down again.
'Our miss FitzAllen here spins a great yarn about her days in France as a V.A.D., but I've been asking around and from what I can make out she never even volunteered. Did you know that, Lieutenant-Colonel?' he asked over his shoulder. 'Or did she pull the wool over your eyes, too?
'And there's more!' he continued, turning back to us and raising his voice over the sudden hubbub. 'there's something else you should know before you decide to throw your lot in with this order, or society, or whatever it is. A few weeks ago Constance FitzAllen took it upon herself to evict a family of indigents living over at Hullets for no reason that I can see other than that they were Jews – them being to her mind responsible for everything that's wrong with the world these days. Well, I've news regarding that family. I was at a union meeting three days ago in Corwelby where all the talk was of a family called Adler not long arrived from our direction, the father carrying a girl by the name of Esther, four years old and no more than a bag of skin and bones. She were dead.'
I closed my eyes as voices roared and bodies surged around me. I felt as though I was floating; I knew I should find the door somewhere behind me and go out to get some air, but I couldn't leave. I took a deep breath but it was of stale pipe-smoke and men's sweat. John was wrong, that much was obvious. He was quite, quite wrong in everything he said.
'Now, I don't claim the right to tell you how to think, and so I won't; there's been enough of that manner of talk for one night,' he continued. 'All I'll say is this: we cannot set our faces against change: it don't do, it never has. Albert Mather is here tonight, the first and best man I ever took a wage from, and he taught me well. He allus said we must have change – we must have it! For the past is gone, and that's just the way of it. Change allus comes, and all that falls to a man to decide is whether he'll be part of it or not.'
'But it's change we're wanting, man! Have you not listened, have you not heard a word –'
It was Father, pushing and shouldering his way through the crowd. I saw men turn, grinning; saw them part to let him through. The tenor of their attention had changed, and I could sense it; this was sport now, master against man. I saw one or two jostle him on purpose, saw men nudge one another and crane their necks ready to see the confrontation. I wanted to get Frank, but he was in the tap-room with the Rose boys and grandfather; I wondered if I should run home and fetch mother, but I knew it would take too long. And then it was too late.
John stood his ground as Father approached, only folding his arms. Connie, behind him in the snug, was standing; I could not see Mr Chalcott or the other man from where I was, but it seemed they had stayed in their seats.
Father stopped a few paces away from John, his red face full of choler. With the advantage the step gave John, they were about the same height, and I realised, with a wash of horror, that they might at any second actually come to blows.
'Please God, no,' I said out loud, although I hadn't meant to. A big man near me turned; it was the wheelwright's apprentice, a lad I had only ever glimpsed before in his leather apron hard at work among the half-built wagons or forging their wide iron tyres.
'Well, if it in't the famous Mather girl herself,' he said now, and elbowed his companion. 'Look who's here!'
'This is change!' Father was shouting, pointing towards Connie. 'This, John, this! We must rebuild the country, we must put our own kind first!'
Despite the confrontation, more men nearby were turning around to look at me; I felt their eyes on me, probing and keen. What had the wheelwright's apprentice meant by 'the famous Mather girl'?
'This in't change, man, it's folly – dangerous folly, for all that.'
'You speak against me, John Hurlock?'
'In this matter, yes.'
'You think you know better, that's it. You allus have. And now you come in here, slinging mud about. Don't matter if the woman were in the War or not, to my mind.'
'No, I'll wager it don't – to a man who never served.'
Uproar then, the men rushing forward, something like joy surging through them and leaving me weightless and horrified and alone. I stumbled back a few paces, one hand seeking the inn door; I saw Frank, followed by Sid Rose, fighting to get to Father and John through the crowd; and then there on the floor was a discarded magazine, trampled by boots, an image of my face smiling idiotically out at me from the crumpled page.
