Successful Give A Meal Campaign Provides 66,366 Meals to the Oregon Food Bank Network
Bank of America and generous customers help feed thousands of hungry Oregonians
"Hunger is a serious and pervasive issue in our community," said Nicole Frisch, Assistant Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Bank of America in Oregon and southwest Washington. "At Bank of America, we know that the increased demand for hunger relief is a growing crisis. One way we responded to this need is with the Give A Meal program, which mobilized the community to join us in supporting the food bank."
The initiative, which ran from November to January, was bolstered by the bank's commitment to a 2 for 1 match, meaning that for every $1 a customer gave during the campaign, Bank of America donated $2. That helped leverage donor dollars and bring more meals into the community.
"As Oregon slowly recovers from the Great Recession, individuals and families continue to struggle to put food on the table. This support from Bank of America and its customers is a tremendous asset in our fight against hunger," said Susannah Morgan, CEO of Oregon Food Bank.
This is the third year that the Oregon Food Bank Network and Feeding America have partnered with Bank of America to help raise funds for local food banks across the country. Along with the match, bank employees participated in hundreds of hunger-related volunteer efforts around the country.
About Oregon Food Bank
With sufficient public will and support of the entire community, we believe it is possible to eliminate hunger and its root causes. Oregon Food Bank collects and distributes food through a network of four Oregon Food Bank branches and 17 independent regional food banks serving Oregon and Clark County, Washington. The Oregon Food Bank Network helps nearly 1 in 5 households fend off hunger. Oregon Food Bank also leads statewide efforts to increase resources for hungry families and to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy, nutrition education, garden education, and helping communities strengthen local food systems.

California whitewater rafting with W.E.T. River Trips is a rite of passage out here in the West. As paddlers, we are lucky to have so many white water rivers throughout the state. Most of the whitewater rafting trips are close to major population centers such as San Francisco, San Jose, Lake Tahoe and Sacamento. All within a one hour to 3 hour distance to the meeting sites. We welcome beginner, novice, intermediate and advanced rafters and paddlers on several river rafting trips in Central and Northern California including our most popular American River whitewater. Gift Certificates for rafting are available for all of our whitewater trips!
All applicants contact the office to sign up. See the white water guide school information for calendar dates and programs. We start March and run consecutive programs through May (maybe even June!). For questions, call 1.888.723.8938. Maximum number in each session is 12 people.
Buy Rafting Guide School: Call office for updates! 1.888.723.8938
Premium whitewater in the springtime bring a challenge for the aggressive, experienced paddler. Higher spring flows, the rivers are challenging and not for the timid. We include splash jacket, helmet, lunch and guide service on all one day trips. On multi-day trips, we also include camping, tents and additional meals.
Spring rafting trips:
Hot summer months in California beckon the rafter to the cool waters of the river. Bring your family, friends, or your group to the river this summer! Beginners, novices to advanced paddlers will enjoy these trips.
The most popular rivers in the Western United States are on the American River.
In Northern California:
Fall in Central and Northern California is beautiful and warm. Crowds are gone and the river is left with a beautiful serenity of gentler flows and glimpses of wildlife. This is the best time to raft a wilderness trip on the river. A precursor for the longer extended river trips throughout the world, these wilderness trips offer a glimpse of what it's like to be on the river for multiple days. This is a way to acclimate yourself to the longer runs on the Klamath River, the Rogue, Salmon and Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
Equally popular are the corporate groups that initiate team-building events on whitewater trips. Groups can have their own facilitator and we will work with your company or educational program to provide your needs.
Winter rafting in California is available after a storm system blows through leaving precipitation flowing into the rivers and streams. Dam controlled rivers may also have water releases throughout the winter months providing a rafting trip for the paddling enthusiast!

Michelago landscape shows one of Lambert's favourite places, where he painted several landscapes, including The squatter's daughter (cat.94). He described the landscape in a poem:
The sun is down and 'Micalago' is at rest
Like Chinese silk of faded gold, the grass and all the hills like breasts of turtle-doves ...
my soul could find a home 'midst blades of grass
And get its music from the whispering trees ...
These pleasant little hills that lure us on
To ride and ride until we reach beyond.
In this landscape Lambert depicted the gentle undulating Monaro country. He focused on form and pattern, emphasising the rhythmical sweep of the rolling hills and valleys and the pattern of the vegetation dotting the middle distance.
He probably painted this small panel out of doors, but eliminated aspects of the scene to fit his final composition. The cloudy sky possibly suggests impending rain.
In painting this landscape Lambert may also have thought back to the work of earlier artists. He commented in 1927 that 'when I am fortunate enough to give some time to the representation of the landscape of the Monaro I cannot help thanking the fate that brought me into touch with Persian, Chinese and Italian landscape painting' (ML MSS 97/8, item 5).
Lambert had met Major General Sir Granville Ryrie in 1918, while serving as an official war artist in Palestine during the First World War. Following his return to Australia in 1921, he first visited the Ryrie property Micalago (at Michelago on the road from Canberra to Cooma) in January 1922, and became a regular visitor there over the following years.

"Local trio Brazos broke a guitar string early in the second song, setting a precedent not for the band's greenness, but rather its tenacity and wholly enveloping performance. Lead singer and guitarist Martin Crane remarked, "I never break a string," while retuning his guitar, but that didn't break the band's stride. Each member seemed lost in their own world, playing at once as separate, serious entities, and a swirling, lovely, cohesive unit. A leader on his toes the entire time, the long-haired bassist shaking his mane in a persistent thump, and an energetic, focused drummer tapping out his beat signaled that after a extended hiatus, they're back with a vengeance. While the set relied on cuts from 2009's Phosphorescent Blues, the last two tunes glimpsed at upcoming May 28 release Saltwater. "Gunk" tapped Brazos' usual indie-pomp, while "Charm," which already has a music video, took a poppier spin on the band's Neutral Milk Hotel influence."

|In response to Re: Leak finding - perhaps a stethoscope?
: : : I have a leak in a hot-water line inside one of my walls (I can hear it running very faintly). I'd like to pinpoint the location of the leak without having to break several holes in the wall. It occurred to me that a stethoscope might be useful for this - has anyone ever tried this?
: : Dan,
: I'll give it a try this evening and let you know if I have any luck. I picked up a stethoscope for a whopping $16, so my investment isn't too huge (well, yet).
: DanO
Well, the stethoscope trick isolated the problem, but didn't find it. It did narrow my "exploratory surgery" to two holes in the sheetrock, but unfortunately the leak seems to be somewhere under the foundation.
Terry, I noticed something weird with my hot water line as it enters the foundation...there's a 3/8" line teed off of the main hot water line about a foot above the floor, and then both lines (the main one and this new 3/8" one) enter the foundation. Any idea what that small line might be for?

Well based on earlier beta events the client aint that big(around 10-12 gb) so even with my 200kb/s connection(ye its really that low) I'm honestly not worried.
It seems they r updating atm so fingers crossed client inc I hope.
I is worried, I dont hae any emails, and weekend is getting closer. Are they only going to allow 1 day to pre download?

Im more concerned how fast I can get the client. When I was downloading TERA, even though I have a 3MB/sec down I was only getting 300K! It took me 2 days at that speed to download the full client.
As long as I can max out my line, I'll be able to get it quickly. 10-12GB? I can get that in about 2 hours or a little under.

Chapter 14
Jonathan smites the garrison of the Philistines—Saul instructs the people to eat no food until evening—Unaware of the oath, Jonathan eats, and Saul decrees his death—He is rescued by the people—Saul vexes his enemies on every hand.
1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord's priest in Shiloh, wearing an

7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart:
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
11 And both of them
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the Lord hath
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the
19 ¶And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.

23 So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.

25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father

32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
33 ¶Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

36 ¶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
39 For, as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel,
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.

Posted on 03/09/2013 5:05:58 AM PST by KevinDavis
Controversy has erupted over next Tuesday's European Parliament resolution "on eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU", meant to mark international women's day, after libertarian Swedish MEPs from the Pirate Party spotted the call for a ban in the small print.
While not legally binding, the vote could be the first step towards European legislation as the EU's assembly increasingly flexes its political muscle within Europe's institutions.

Who decides (for everyone else) what porn is?
Just getting a foot up on Sharia Compliance...
I suppose we can expect raids at the Vatican, the Louvre, the British Museum...
Probably a nuclear strike here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beate_Uhse_Erotic_Museum
These people are nuts.
That is a good question... Something I don't want the Government to do..
Could be..
Betcha GI Joe is included.
NRA and all gun magazines; National Review, American Spectator......................
The sad part is that there are people here who would support this type of measure..
I saw sometime ago that some animal rights group want to declare hunting magazine as porn..
...next Tuesday's European Parliament resolution "on eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU", meant to mark international women's day, after libertarian Swedish MEPs from the Pirate Party spotted the call for a ban in the small print.I'm 100 percent in favor of a ban on *bad* European porn, the east bloc stuff is dreadful. Wait, what?
Importantly, this is just *part* of their crackdown on free expression. Three other things they want are even more horrifying:
1) To outlaw criticism or humor directed against politicians, "protected classes", "protected religions" (not including Christianity or Judaism, or any other religion than Islam).
2) To require all reporters and journalists to be licensed by the EU, and their nation, which can be revoked if they run afoul of EU or national bureaucrats, who could do so by whim.
3) To adopt a libel law similar to Britain's insane libel statute (actually been reformed in Britain a bit), which would define libel as "having offended" a person, even if what was written was factual.
In other words, the EU parliament has gone "full royalist retard".
That's why the focus is on the porn ban — it's a diversionary tactic.
As one of the handful of people in this country who have ever had as an occupational responsibility that of determining if printed matter was pornographic ~ let me say this about that ~ if you want to mail the stuff the recipient can decide it's pornographic and ask that they be added to the list off folks who don't want it. The list costs something to create, and once a year the USPS divides the cost up among the porn mailers and charges them a proportionate amount.
Sometimes a mailer will make a mistake and send something to someone on the list ~ that's a different story ~ and there USPS will assign a classification specialist to examine the material to see if it's pornographic as understood in the law.
When that system was first set up vast amounts of porn, mostly as xerox copies, were sent to USPS for evaluation.
Copies don't count.
If you are interested in the development of the current body of law regarding porn you might try reading through all the references at >http://law.onecle.com/constitution/amendment-01/50-obscenity.html
There are some judges who like all of it; others only like some of it; and other judges who take the position that people who do not want the stuff should not have it forced on them by the government (hence the postal references throughout these decisions) ~ BUT, and it's a really big one you should all be concerned with, SOME USSC judges think you should have no right to even protest having porn tossed at you against your will.
The erotic ancient art from Pompeii and Herculanaeum will have to go as well.
That is why we need to be careful here... Yes porn is bad and disgusting, but if we the people give the Government power to control content on the Internet, the Government will not stop at porn.. Plain and simple..

Back in the EUSSR...

This is going to be a collision between the Law of unintended consequences and rule 34 (if it exists, there is pornography involving it). With the right frame of mind, one can see anything as pornographic, including such things as plumbing and electronics, both of which feature male and female connectors
I'm not sure why/what that would be
Are the trying to eliminate gender stereotypes in porn? Will all porn have to be sold in opaque envelopes and you won't known the sex, age or body type until you've bought and opened it. Stinks to be you, you got another issue of Queer Old Chubbies. And don't even try to discrimitorially throw it out because the EU trash police will be checking your recycling bin,
I guess I'll side with the EU on this. My basic point is that all the freedoms in the world are WORTHLESS if it leads to the destruction of the state - for what replaces it will be much, much, worse than not being able to buy Penthouse.
Europeans will be discovering this in under a decade - starting in Belgium.
I'm sure the Taliban has that on their target list once they impose Sharia in the enlarged.
For those here who seem perplexed as to how to define porn, ask any teenage boy or man who visits porn sites what he is going there to see. Duh! He's going there to watch people have sex. Porn = photos/video of people actually having sex. It's simple enough. I knew what it was when I was a teenage girl. To see that adults, conservative adults at that, don't know what porn is is disheartening.
That said, will the EU ban porn? Nope. It won't happen. Porn is crucial to the breakdown of the family. The breakdown of the family is an absolute necessity for more government expansion...which the EU wants. When the family is broken down, the father is replaced by the government.

I wish this was a joke.
I wish this was a joke.
I wish they would leave the story as it is!
The prequils were bad enough, we don't need a recast of the original trilogy to continue on... BAD MICKEY!
Wait...they're doing new ones? Eeek! Some things should be left alone.
I agree about the prequels...after Jar Jar Binks, I left the galaxy far, far away in a hurry. The costumes were splendid, though. One of my splurges was to buy the big book about the costumes. I spent no money on the movies after going to see the first one, after all.
The only prequil that's decent is the third one... the other two, I feel, were just made so that he could get to that one... the "love story" in the second one was so stupid...
I love a lot of the Extended Universe books (after the original trilogy, there are tons of SW novels that continue the story) but they've said they will not be using them in making the new films. BLAH! I probably won't ever see the news ones.
Think of all the new Juvenile Men's solo music that will be composed
Good one, Coaster!

The elastic pieces in the middle ensure enough give, and the cork platforms, well -- nothing dressy is more comfortable.She absolutely adores them. If I didn't already have a pair of Kork-ease platforms (yes, I'm a child of the 70s!), I'd buy these too!"

Cute in Cork
"This is a great neutral summer shoe. Very cute on. Looks especially good with white linen. It is surprisingly comfortable. I was able to walk around for several hours with no pain. The elastic straps provide good support and don't cut into the foot as is sometimes the case with these types of straps. These look much better on the foot than in the picture...would definitely recommend."

SMV Ponderings
Located in the heart of Elm Grove, St. Mary's Visitation School provides exceptional academics and faith formation for grades K3 through 8.
St. Mary's Visitation Students head to the Spelling Bee District Meet
St. Mary's Visitation Spelling Bee
Congratulations to our 5th-8th grade finalists in the St. Mary's Visitation Spelling Bee on Monday, December 10th. 8th grader Elizabeth Janowski won for the 4th year in a row. 7th grader Jesse Bopp was runner-up.
Last year, Elizabeth also captured the CESA 1 District Spelling championship and took third place in the southeastern Wisconsin regional competition.
Elizabeth and Jesse will be representing SMV at the district meet at Catholic Memorial High School next month.
SMV's elderly parishioners will soon be receiving Christmas gift bags stocked with all kinds of goodies, thanks to the 5th grade Angel Tree project. Thanks to all school families for your contribution of small gift items. The 5th graders spearheaded the collection, decorated and assembled the bags, and junior high service club elves will deliver.
Thank you Mrs. Wilinski and Grade 5!
The SMV Christmas Concert was a big hit on December 11th. It was a full house in the St. Mary's Visitation gym as the students took the stage dressed in their best Christmas outfits to sing Christmas carols to our families. Well done!!
St. Mary's Visitation 6th graders had an in-depth lesson in meteorology from Fox 6 Meteorologist Justin Zollitsch this month. He spoke for two class periods explaining weather and fielding student questions -- a great addition to their lesson on temperature and wind.

He's a fallen angel. She's a rockabilly reporter. Together they must solve a deadly string of murders plaguing the mortal and the immortal worlds.
Griffin Shaw used to be a PI, but that was over fifty years ago when gumshoes hoofed the streets . . . and he was still alive. Now he's a Centurion, an angel who assists other murdered souls through their journey to the afterlife. But while Shaw might be an angel … he's no saint. Haunted by the mysterious events surrounding his own death, he seizes a chance to wreak some vengeance when he witnesses a deadly attack on journalist Katherine "Kit" Craig.
Joining forces, the unlikely avengers take to the streets, hunting a killer whose trail of bodies stretches across Las Vegas and into an immortal netherworld. It is a dangerous trek that lead them into the darkest corners of Sin City and into the heart of an evil conspiracy extending beyond the lights of the Strip that could destory them both.
But destruction isn't the only threat Griffin faces. The closer he gets to Kit, the more he finds himself bewitched by her mortal charms. Can he resist falling under her spell? And does he want to?
This one was a bit slow at times but I enjoyed the storyline and the characters were good though they didn't quite WOW me. I loved the rockabilly aspect (that's people who live like they live in the 50's) and it added a bit of uniqueness to the story. Overall it was an enjoyable read and I will definitely continue the series to see where things go.
3/5 stars

hmm, i think maybe gakuen alice is one loki.. although its definitely not like a mature manga, though.. vampire knight.. has a lot of romance so never mind. But those are the only shojos ive really read so far. :-/
Just yes.
Just no.
Yes. Why not? It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
No. It's emasculating. *Drinks beer and hammers dry wall*
hmm, i think maybe gakuen alice is one loki.. although its definitely not like a mature manga, though.. vampire knight.. has a lot of romance so never mind. But those are the only shojos ive really read so far. :-/
i actually read it too... its actually not bad at all i really like it... except for the fact that it never turns out the way i want it to
Yes, more then you would suspect really. I talk alot on a friendly basis with a comic shoop owner (who has a corner for mangas) and he says guys buying shoujo actually equals the girls.
As for personally, i don't know really. I do enjoy some drama/romance but i simply can't enjoy full drama/romance thing. I read Mahou Sensei Negima and i definetley do enjoy the romance tidbits.
I'll force myself to read Love Hina one of these days and really find out if i won't like the entire genre or not.
Don't be a cocky bastard....check out Toriko! http://www.mangareader.net/349/toriko.html
But I'm not into that boy on boy or girl on girl crap, in some of these manga. I love women too much to disrespect them and myself like that. I'm lucky and love life.
I never owned porn, but I have seen a lot of porn, sadly (porn websites mainly - was an addition), that stuff messes up your mind. At one point I watch so much porn I got scared of girls for a while and didn't even talk with them, and started thinking about that stuff every time I talked with people. It is scary the affects that stuff has on people. But I had enough respect for my life that I realized it is all pointless fantasy and BS and that is the point, concerning that.
Shojo mangas are great, they have great stories and as a guy I value a good story. Fruits basket, skip beat, and vampire knight among others. Nothing wrong with romance and goofy fun stories.
oh my? zzzzzzzz, _o_ wake me up when things get interesting!
Sometimes you don't even see the difference, for example Orange Marmalade (Ithought first it was a shounen), Skip Beat! is also very well known. And what do you you think about 1/2 Prince, it's shoujo but also shounen
I read shoujo just like any other genre of manga I'm not embarassed about it one bit, I'll read any shoujo just as long as it has an interesting story.
I definitely read shoujou manga not as often as more action oriented mangas like seinen or shonen but I do read them from time to time like Kimi no Iru Machi, Kiss x Sis, and School Rumble to name a few.
i read a few,
don't see what's wrong with that, or why u'd have to hide that
I think i read the shounen manga more than shoujo manga....
But i watch the shoujo anime more than shounen manga... i like the shoujo anime, the boys' voice is sexy...

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.
Note: If you wish to vote absentee and are a uniformed service member or family member or a citizen living outside the U.S., contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program to register to vote.

Correction: An earlier version of this release mistakenly omitted the Unisyn Voting Solutions OpenElect 1.0 system from the list of EAC-certified systems.
WASHINGTON- The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has certified the Unity 18.104.22.168 voting system by Election Systems and Software (ES&S) to the 2002 Voting System Standards. It is the fifth voting system to achieve federal certification under EAC's Voting System Testing and Certification Program.
The Unity 22.214.171.124 comprises two precinct-based optical scanners—the M100 and the DS200—and one central-count scanner, the M650. The accessible voting device for this system is the AutoMark. EAC issued federal certification for the Unity 184.108.40.206 system after ES&S demonstrated compliance with the following final certification requirements, which complete EAC's comprehensive testing process:
Rebuild the voting system in a trusted environment, known as a "trusted build" (an act performed by an EAC-accredited test lab)
Provide software identification tools to EAC so that whomever purchases the system can verify its authenticity
Provide voting system software for the EAC repository
Agree in writing to comply with all EAC certification conditions and program requirements
Launched in 2007, EAC's certification program marks the first time the federal government has certified voting systems. The program is authorized by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and is entirely voluntary—states are not required to use EAC-certified voting systems, or to test their systems against federal standards. At least 13 states require the use of federally-certified voting machines.
An EAC certification means that a voting system has met the requirements of the applicable federal guidelines by passing a series of tests conducted by a federally-accredited test laboratory. Manufacturers of certified systems must also meet technical and conflict of interest standards that ensure the integrity of the process and the system as it goes from the test lab to production and into the marketplace.
Laboratory test plans and test reports for the Unity 188.8.131.52 are posted at www.eac.gov along with an outline describing each step of the certification process.
The four voting systems previously certified by EAC are the MicroVote EMS 4.0, a direct recording electronic (DRE) device; the ES&S Unity 188.8.131.52 optical-scan system; the Premier Assure 1.2 with optical-scan and DRE technology; and the Unisyn Voting Solutions OpenElect 1.0 optical-scan system.
Quality Monitoring
EAC monitors all federally certified voting systems that are used in federal elections, conducting regular site visits and reviews of all deployed systems. Manufacturers must also submit reports to EAC in any case where a certified system experiences an irregularity, and notify EAC of any modifications to a system's hardware, software or firmware.
EAC notifies the public about testing and certification updates through automatic e-alerts, weekly newsletters, press releases and frequent updates to EAC.gov. The public can access thousands of documents about testing and certification, including test plans and reports, correspondence, registered participants and other program information. A video describing the testing and certification process is also available at EAC.gov.
EAC is an independent commission created by the Help America Vote Act. EAC serves as a national clearinghouse and resource of information regarding election administration. It is charged with administering payments to states and developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and accrediting voting system test laboratories and certifying voting equipment. It is also charged with developing and maintaining a national mail voter registration form. The two EAC commissioners are Gineen Bresso and Donetta Davidson. There are two vacancies on the commission.

Art Of Dying Biography
Last updated: 03/06/2011 11:00:00 AM
Jonny Hetherington - vocals
Greg Bradley – guitar
Tavis Stanley – guitar/vocals
Cale Gontier – bass/vocals
Jeff Brown – drums
Growing up in the Canadian Prairies in the '90s, Jonny Hetherington was inspired and elated by the energy and realism of alternative rock bands that mixed equal doses of aggression and melody. However, he didn't really relate to the dark, negative energy and sometimes pessimistic lyrics of many of his favorite groups. So when he and guitarist Greg Bradley formed their own band, Art of Dying, in 2004, they made a conscious effort to be as sonically dynamic as their influences, but approach their songs with a greater sense of optimism.
"Most of our songs speak of hope and perseverance," says Hetherington. "There's an element of honesty and strength in our music that really comes through."
On the surface, the name "Art of Dying" might seem to contradict that ethos, but Hetherington says the phrase describes the band's life philosophy. "From the moment you're born, you're on an eventual path to death," he explains. "We all embrace life and enjoy it and make the most of every minute. Our art of dying is living and doing it with as much enthusiasm as possible. That's sort of our code."
The band's major-label debut, Vices and Virtues, expresses their energy and vitality with a blend of urgent, blaring guitar rhythms, atmospheric and transcendent counter melodies, and vocal harmonies that complement the heaviness of the music. Uptempo songs like "Die Trying" and "Straight Across my Mind" reverberate with the triumphant spirit of a raised fist, while tracks such as the acoustic-based "I Will Be There," "Best I Can," and "Raining" (which features guest vocals by Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier) are more reflective and vulnerable, revealing the pain of imperfect relationships and the redemption that lies within their repair. Hetherington wrote one of the most poignant and sonically turbulent cuts on the album, "Get Thru This," almost immediately after finding out his father had been diagnosed with cancer.
"It was a crazy day and making that song was very emotional for me," he says. "I was at my day job at a small futon store in Vancouver when I got the news. I locked the door, put up the 'Back in 5 Minutes' sign and let it all pour out. It's a really special song now because it turned what felt like a nightmare into this real celebration. Now that my dad has survived his battle with cancer it's become a song of triumph."
Making the most out of difficult situations has become a modus operandi for Hetherington and his bandmates. Exhibiting determination in the face of adversity has allowed them to excel and succeed. In fact, it was Art of Dying's persistence and relentlessness that first attracted Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan to the band four years ago. It all started when a radio promoter in Boston suggested Donegan check out Art of Dying's 2006 self-released debut.
"One day I got a phone call from Dan saying, 'Wow, I really like your band, music, and work ethic,'" Hetherington says. "We chatted for an hour about what we were doing and how we felt about our music and he said he'd love to help us out and offer us any opportunity he could, which was very cool. We didn't hear from him for about another year, so in the meantime we just kept doing our thing."
The second time Donegan called Hetherington, it wasn't just to talk. The guitarist invited Art of Dying to open for Disturbed on 12 U.S. shows. While the Canadian band didn't know how they were going to pay for a tour across the U.S., they accepted the offer anyway because they knew playing for thousands of Disturbed fans was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What they didn't know was that Donegan and Disturbed frontman David Draiman were silently courting Art of Dying to be the first band on their label Intoxication.
"At the time, we had no idea they had a label," Hetherington says. "We knew they were watching us every night, but we didn't know they were thinking of signing us. It's kind of comical because we actually invited other labels out to some of the shows to check us out. And it was a real nice surprise for them to offer to do an album with us."
Intoxication isn't exactly a new venture. Donegan and Draiman co-formed the Warner Bros. Records subsidiary seven years ago, but never found the right band to debut – until they heard Art of Dying.
"In years of searching for a band to begin the saga at Intoxication Records, we finally found the fiercely talented boys of Art of Dying delivering uncompromising, harmony-filled anthemic rock moments fused with the right amount of attitude," Draiman says. "They won over our fans time and time again, and we are betting that they will win over the world."
No one can say Art of Dying haven't earned the support of Disturbed through hard work and painstaking perseverance. Even in his youth, Hetherington was determined to reach his musical goals, busking in the streets of Vancouver for spare change and singing songs he'd written since he was a teenager. He was actually standing on a street corner, guitar in hand, when he first met Art of Dying's other founding member, guitarist Greg Bradley. "I was trying to learn how to sing and play at the same time and Greg was playing with some friends he'd been jamming with for a while. They heard me from a couple blocks away and followed the sound of my voice. The guys were looking for a singer and asked me if I wanted to get together and try rehearsing with them."
The next day, Hetherington met Bradley's band at their rehearsal space and the musicians immediately vibed off each other. "We plugged in and I started singing melodies and humming over this musical jam that was going on," Hetherington recalls. "We actually wrote a song that day. We could tell right away we had something real, and over the years Greg and I steered the music through the different band names — Pan, Sun Like Star. We finally decided on Art of Dying as the music evolved." When they had enough original material they recorded an album, formed their own label (Thorny Bleeder) and released their self-titled debut in 2006. They sent the disc to radio stations and promoters across the country, and before long their efforts were rewarded with a nomination for a Canadian Radio Music Award. They also won the prestigious Seeds radio contest from Vancouver radio station 99.3 The Fox for the song "Get Thru This." Past winners had included Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman. The Seeds victory led to numerous tours and eventually an offer to play the third stage at the Download Festival in England.
"Greg and I made a pact a long ago to never say no to an opportunity, no matter how lofty it seemed," Hetherington says. "So we went over to England and that led to our being invited back for a tour of the U.K. with Seether. We've gotten good at making miracles come to fruition. It's like, 'Okay, how are we gonna do this? Beg, borrow, and steal and do it all again.'"
After going through a variety of players, Art of Dying cemented their lineup with guitarist Tavis Stanley, bassist Cale Gontier (cousin of Three Days Grace's Adam Gontier), and drummer Jeff Brown. Cale and Tavis spent years growing tight in Ian Thornley of Big Wreck's solo project "Thornley," and had known Jeff from a young age growing up in Ontario. Jeff brought the five musicians together at a Toronto watering hole where an instant connection was made over pints of Guinness. Without even stepping into a rehearsal space, the newly formed group's first note struck was on stage together on the first date of a Canadian tour. It was that night that they discovered a common musical thread that ran through each of them and began to hone their signature three-part harmonies.
By the time Art of Dying were signed to Intoxication, they were jonesing to start working on their second album. Hetherington presented a stack of songs he wrote at home to his bandmates and the group took a hiatus to work on the tunes and write additional material together. "We made songwriting a priority and actually went on some writing retreats with each other," Hetherington explains. "The five of us would get together in weird locations and just lock ourselves in a place with gear and try and make whatever we could come up with in that five or seven days. That's where several of the songs for Vices and Virtues came from. In the end we had well over 50 songs to choose from."
By the time they entered the studio with veteran producer Howard Benson (Papa Roach, Three Doors Down) in October 2009, Art of Dying had narrowed their repertoire of new tunes down to 18 songs. They spent the next three months at Benson's studio in Los Angeles tracking the first batch, then, after taking a few months off, they traveled to Chicago to finish the album with Donegan.
"It was really important that we had this balance between L.A. and Chicago because I think environment plays a key role in your sound," Hetherington says. "We definitely ended up with the perfect mix of L.A. shine and Chicago grit. It was a golden middle ground."
While Art of Dying worked on Vices and Virtues for over a year, they were never overwhelmed or frustrated by the recording process. Although they were putting in long hours and recording multiple takes, they remained excited and composed throughout. "It was super natural — beyond easy," Hetherington says. "The caliber of musicianship in this band is extraordinary. Everybody's got each other's backs and when we go, we just go!"
Even as Vices and Virtues was being completed, Art of Dying were picking up steam in the media. The WWE played "Get Thru This" in their Survivor and NXT programs. The track was used in several Canadian TV programs and was the theme music for the hockey reality show Making The Cut.
Now that the complete album is finally ready for release, the full scope of Art of Dying's musical diversity and artistic vision is swimming into focus, and it's as clear as Steuben crystal and as euphoria-inducing as a runner's high. "Sorry" is a beautiful song about a broken relationship that starts with a pensive, acoustic arpeggio and soaring vocal harmonies, and peaks with an anthemic mid-paced chorus. "Whole World's Crazy" kicks out the jams with a propulsive riff and minor-key hooks and builds into a rousing refrain, in which Hetherington sings "I don't want to believe there's no way out, is the whole world crazy now?" Then there's the start-stop barrage of "Completely," which punctuates each yearning phrase with a musical exclamation point and the defiant, tuneful thunderstorm of "You Don't Know Me."
"It's a middle finger in the air to everyone who judges others," Hetherington says. "You know that feeling when you're in a crowd and certain people might be looking at you a certain way? It's a horrible feeling, but it's empowering to say, 'Fuck you! You don't know me.'"
On first single "Die Trying" Hetherington sings: "If it takes forever, I will die trying," reaffirming his commitment to attain happiness through his music at all costs. At the rate the band are going, Art of Dying won't take forever to reach their goals, and they're determined to enjoy every minute it takes to get there. Right now, the band is excited to take part in the Avalanche tour with Stone Sour, Theory of a Deadman, Skillet, and Halestorm. The tour launches March 24th in Chicago and runs through May 1st in Uncasville, CT. After that, Art of Dying plan to play other major support tours and summer festivals, as well as headline clubs.
Art of Dying are especially excited to meet the "Die Hards," as they consider themselves at one with their audience. "Since day one we have embraced our fans and included them in our world online and off," Hetherington says. "We are known for being the last people out of the venue at the end of a concert because we're so busy talking to the fans. The countless stories of how our music touches their lives is something we don't take lightly and has become inspirational in our own lives."
Hetherington pauses, then concludes with a statement that clarifies their belief in the power and spirituality of their art. "We believe in the circle or circuit of music that is closed only when it flows through the listener and back to the artist. It's an ongoing cycle, and being a part of that has been one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do."

New features include an immunization scheduler and a pill identifier.
Bill Siwicki
CVS Caremark Corp. is beefing up its mobile commerce site and smartphone app to help customers better manage their health.
The new enhancements to the CVS mobile site include an immunization scheduler. While appointments are not necessary, shoppers who prefer to plan ahead can now schedule immunizations on the CVS mobile site. Shoppers enter a location and the patient's date of birth, select the desired immunization, and schedule an appointment.
CVS has added more health resources to the mobile site, as well. Shoppers using the site can view prescriptions available for refill or pick-up, access the Health Information Center, and manage their ExtraCare savings and rewards. Mobile shoppers can now also sign up for the ExtraCare Advantage for Diabetes opt-in program through the mobile site to receive exclusive savings on diabetes care products as well as healthy living tips and recipes.
And the retailer, No. 100 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400, has added electronic gift cards to the mobile site. Customers can now buy personalized eGift Cards on the site; cards are delivered to the recipient via e-mail and can be used at CVS/pharmacy locations across the country.
In the mobile app, CVS has included a new pill identifier. Customers can use the tool to check for drug interactions and identify pills by shape, color and imprint. This enhancement accompanies recent additions to the CVS mobile app including the Scan Your Refill feature, which allows users to scan their prescription bar codes to quickly refill their prescriptions.
CVS also has redesigned the mobile app, giving it a new look. The sleeker design, CVS says, includes an easy-to-navigate home screen, large icons and an intuitive interface.
"Through our latest mobile enhancements, CVS/pharmacy is augmenting the personalized shopping and health care experience for our customers," says Rob Price, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "Customers accessing CVS.com via mobile devices and tablets has more than doubled since the beginning of the year. We are committed to broadly expanding digital access for customers in order to maximize pharmacy service and shopping convenience."
Both the CVS mobile site and app enable customers to shop the full CVS.com product catalog. Shoppers can use both the site and app to access Deal of the Day flash sales featuring a new deal every day online and in-store on popular household essentials and gifts.

Good thing I only put in false information for my profile.
My opinion:
MS is SO BIG and IMPORTANT that some "GROUP" decided to hack into it just to see the AWESOMENESS because they can't believe what they're being told. These must had happen due to the "RAPTURE" incidents.
They've decided that taking a shit is not just one lame and boring activity but it is also worthless.
Although pretty shitty.. I mean, can people honestly not find better things to do than hack a forum site? :-/
But who knows, maybe they just wanted practice? >.>
LOL'z and here I belived that there would be no hack in for at least 6 months .
I wasn't online for a while, so is everything solved
Manga Style
It would take a genius I guess to patch up all the flaws regarding the internet.
not even mangashare is immune from these people? Where do these ppl get off doing crap like this?

Milanese draw, Juve seven clear
A review of the weekend's action in Italy's Serie A.
- Related Content
Ezequiel Schelotto's second-half equaliser salvaged a point for Inter Milan in the derby as AC Milan had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
The Serie A stalemate will be seen as little help to either club's hopes of gaining a Champions League place for next season, and gives Lazio the chance to take third place when they face second-bottom Pescara on Monday.
AC Milan, for whom Mario Balotelli was a threat in attack, stand third for now, a point ahead of Lazio and Inter.
Stephan El Shaarawy scored the opener for Milan with a dipping left-footed drive in the 21st minute. But substitute Schelotto made an impact off the bench, heading in after 72 minutes to ensure Inter would not finish empty-handed.
Earlier, Juventus extended their lead at the top to seven points thanks to a 3-0 win over Siena, although the visitors made a game of it at the Juventus Stadium.
Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sebastian Giovinco gave the Bianconeri a two-goal advantage, but Siena hit the woodwork twice as they made Juve work hard for their win.
Paul Pogba then ended Siena's hopes with a third goal in the dying stages.
Roma defied the weather to beat a spirited Atalanta 4-3 and claim back-to-back Serie A victories for the first time in 2013.
Sunday's game at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia was hours away from being called off as a heavy band of snow refused to leave Bergamo, but on-loan Inter Milan striker Marko Livaja ensured there would be a contest with his rapid opening goal.
Marquinho pegged Atalanta back before Miralem Pjanic turned the game on its head with an exquisite free-kick, only for Livaja to complete his brace heading into half-time.
Vasilis Torosidis waited for the snow to clear to head the winner and Atalanta promptly unravelled as Matteo Contini saw red following an unseemly scrap with Simone Perrotta.
Daniele Conti scored the winner deep into stoppage time as Cagliari beat nine-man Torino 4-3 in one of the most dramatic games of the Serie A season - inside an empty stadium.
The Sardinian club were barred from hosting fans at the Stadio Is Arenas due to ongoing safety concerns and local supporters were urged to stay at home and follow the game on television.
Any avid watchers would have to wait until midway through the first half before Marco Sau gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot following a careless foul from Angelo Ogbonna.
The second half, though, was played at breakneck speed as the lead changed hands three times thanks to quickfire goals between Alessio Cerci, Alen Stefanovic, Conti, Mauricio Pinilla and Rolando Bianchi.
Torino eventually lost both the hapless Ogbonna and his defensive replacement Abou Diop to red cards and Conti duly exploited the space to drive in a scintillating winner from distance, just seconds before the final whistle.
Catania survived a late onslaught and the dismissal of Nicola Legrottaglie to continue their march towards Europe with a 2-1 victory at Parma on Sunday.
The Sicilians knew that three points from the Stadio Ennio Tardini would give them a share of sixth place with Fiorentina, whose game at Bologna was postponed, and first-half goals from Francesco Lodi and Keko were enough to see them through.
Parma, who are now without a win in seven, regrouped after the break but failed to make half-a-dozen solid chances on goal count until Amauri finally forced a consolation goal with time running out.
Sampdoria moved clear of Chievo and effectively clear of any relegation fears thanks to a 2-0 win at a snowy Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa.
Andrea Poli gave the home side the lead in the 33rd minute before the sleet turned to snow, and Eder struck the second with seven minutes remaining.
Chievo's attempts to find an equaliser throughout the second half were thwarted as they were left just eight points above the danger zone.
On Saturday, Genoa held Palermo to a goalless draw at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
Palermo needed well over an hour to get warmed up and, just as their engines were roaring into life, they lost Salvatore Aronica to a red card, effectively ending their hopes of picking up more than a point.
Genoa proved once again how difficult they are to break down since former Palermo boss Davide Ballardini took over, and they will treasure a point that gives them a five-point cushion over the bottom three.

Disfraz de Carnaval
- Description
- This homemade costume was made for the Ponce carnival. It has a cape attached at the neck made from the same black and red striped fabric (black and red are the colors of the city of Ponce). Carnival participants who wear costumes like this one, in addition to a mask, and other carnival accoutrements like matching shoes, canes, and gloves, are called vejigantes. Vejigantes are famous for playfully swatting at carnival-goers with a vejiga, a dried, inflated bladder. When a real animal bladder in not available, an empty water bottle is an acceptable substitute.

For atheists in the general El Paso, Amarillo, San Angelo, Abilene area.
Location: Western Texas
Members: 17
Latest Activity: Jan 1, 2016
This group does not have any discussions yet.
I went back to my home town to visit my family. One of those days a couple of christian ladies showed up and were obviously selling Jesus. I was very welcoming and I listened as they approached me with their practiced speech.
They talked about pornography. I'm not a big fan of pornography but I have deliberately watched some out of curiosity. Anyway I gave them my opinion a the subject but from a different point of view. Mostly from the stuff that is shown on TV when kids are awake. With all that going on they can't really blame teenagers and their thirst for pornography. In this age it isn't even bad; if we look at the standards that have been imposed by society.
But anyway. At least they learned the opinion of an atheist without knowing I was an atheist o-o
I hope this story is useful in any way. Good night~~
Right after, I posted that comment, my husband was offered a job in Monterey, Ca. I'm now in the process of packing up my house and getting ready to move. Squee! I did, however, let my friend know about the meetup group and he's interested. I'm so happy that you guys have organized here in El Paso. I've been here only 1.5 years and it's not been easy for myself or my kids, so I can't imagine how difficult it must be for freethinkers who grew up here. Good luck, and may FSM wrap you in his noodley appendages.:)
Next meetup!!!!
Thanks for the link Sharon! I've joined the meetup group, but unfortunately I'll be out of town during that time. :(
It would be nice if more of us in El Paso could find a way to meet. I'd be interested in getting involved. :)
Hey guys, I just found this in a google search. :) I'm looking for an atheist group in El Paso. I have another friend who would also be interested in meeting up.
Considering the amount of atheist people here... no he shouldn't. I would love to see him though.
Does anyone drive on I-10 in el paso and see the christian sign? It Also has a crossed out depiction of evolution! I see it constantly and it bothers me because they are promoting the religion as they attack science. Cheers
Started a Meetup.com page for the Abilene Atheist Community:
Combined with our facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/AbileneAtheistCommunity/, we have around 40 members.
We had someone attend a meetup all the way from San Angelo yesterday.

Paris Museum Pass: 2, 4, or 6 Days
Visit more than 60 of the top museums and monuments in and around Paris with a convenient and affordable Paris Museum Pass. Explore the Louvre and…
ParisSee all 715 tickets & tours
Want to discover all there is to do in Musée de la Poste? Click here for a full list.
We had no time to see more than 4 museums due to the size of them and long lines. I recommend to buy the 4 days pass
I really loved using this guide, was able to fit in many more activities in a day because I didn't have to wait in ticket lines. It was also a great value.
My husband and I had a six-day pass which we used for five days. During this time we walked our feet off but saw many museums we might not have otherwise gone to. We felt skipping some of the longer queues was a real benefit, but some places (notably Tours de Notre Dame) do not offer this. You need stamina to see enough museums to get your money's worth.

Celebrate the holiday with festive Easter desserts such as bunny cookies, easter egg cookies, strawberry cake, and colorful fruit tarts.
Layered Peeps Crispy TreatsMake colorful treats using Peeps and Rice Krispie cereal this Easter. 3-ingredients is all it takes to make these fun, sticky bars.
Hummingbird Cake Shake
As the most requested recipe in Southern Living history, the Hummingbird Cake is a staple for southern flair and charm. We decided to put our own spin on the iconic dessert by shaking it up. Now you can enjoy the classic pecan, pineapple, and banana flavors in a shake! Southern never tasted so good.
Tangy Lemon Cheesecake BarsClassic lemon squares with a twist, citrus cheesecake adds a creamy texture to these puckery bites.
The Lemon Cheese Layer CakeExpecting a twist on cheesecake? You're in for an even sweeter surprise. This show-stopping cake is layered with a buttery rich lemon curd filling instead.
Berry Lemonade BarsGuests will swoon when you send them home with these pretty treats. The strawberry version is sweet and rosy pink; the raspberry version, deeper mauve and tart. The lemon variation is straight-up puckery perfection. We mix the filling together just before the crust comes out of the oven and then pour it onto the hot crust so that it sets quickly.
Bunny Cookie CupcakesKids will love decorating these simple bunny cupcakes. Start with boxed or grocery store cupcakes then decorate each with vanilla frosting, green coconut, and bunnie cookies. Kneading together refrigerated sugar cookie dough and flour make it easer to cut out the bunny shapes.
Easter Egg CookiesUse this easy, low-fat sugar cookie recipe anytime you want to break out the cookie cutters and have fun in the kitchen. Involve the children by letting them cut out simple shapes like eggs or try other designs like bunnies and flowers. Arrange the cookies in a basket for a festive (and edible) centerpiece.
Easter CookiesTry this Easter dessert with a simple five-ingredient dough that can be made up to three days ahead and stored in the fridge. Break out the cookie cutters and let the children create flowers, bunnies, and eggs. The decorated cookies also double as an attractive table decoration.
Coconut Nest CookiesThese coconut nest cookies are basically vanilla meringues made with sweetened, shredded dried coconut. Make a shallow depression in the center of each cookie before baking, then fill with jelly beans or other Easter candy once the meringues have cooled.
Lemon Cloud with Strawberry-Mint CompoteA homemade lemon curd adds bright flavor to the soufflé and perfectly complements the mint and strawberry compote. Enjoy while strawberries are ripe, or substitute any seasonal berry during the rest of the year.
Candy Butterfly CupcakesThese cupcakes are so cute, they'll fly right off the plate!
Five-Spice Toasted-Coconut Cake Roll with Tropical Fruit CompoteFreshly-baked angel food cake rolls easily when still warm. Simply spread with slightly-thawed sorbet, then freeze for at least one hour. To prepare in advance for Easter, make the cake up to two days ahead, then mix the compote about 20 minutes before serving.
Pink Grapefruit CupcakesBake these bright and flavorful cupcakes in advance so they have time to cool before you frost them.
Easter Egg KaleidoscopesMake a sugary (and edible!) table setting with Easter eggs featuring windows of tiny icing animals and candy blossoms. Royal icing performs double-duty in this recipe, acting as a "glue" to hold the sugar egg halves together as well as decorative décor around the edges of the windows.
Raspberry Sorbet and Meringue SandwichesServe "finger sandwiches" of airy meringue cookies and tart raspberry sorbet. Divide the egg white mixture into rectangles before baking, then spread with the sorbet and freeze for about four hours before slicing into triangles.
Lemon Velvet TartDazzle your taste buds with the vibrant flavor of lemon and creamy white chocolate in this easy citrus tart. Simple-to-make Caramelized Sugar Spirals add to an impressive presentation. The secret: crushed lemon candies.
Teapot CakeMake a cake that doubles as a centerpiece. Bake two small pound cakes and stack to create the base, then decorate with fondant to create a spout, handle, daisies, butterflies, and anything else "Spring" you can think of. Decorating can take some time, but the result is well worth the effort.
Spring's Little CakesThese fun and festive little cakes are perfect for those with little hands. Create fun shapes and have kids decorate them for a fun and festive treat.
Banana-Raspberry Cake with Lemon FrostingMashed ripe bananas mixed into the batter make this cake extra moist. The cream cheese icing, flavored with lemon zest and vanilla extract, serves as the base layer for the fresh raspberry filling and the outer frosting.
Buttery Pound CakeToast slices of rich, buttery pound cake and serve with fresh berries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a simple dessert that's packed with bright Spring flavor.
Strawberry-Sugar Biscuit TrifleServe a dish that's as pretty as it is tasty. Layer Sugar Biscuits, brushed with orange liqueur, with strawberry halves and Trifle Custard in a large glass bowl. Garnish with mint leaves for an extra pop of Spring.
Double Citrus TartA sweet crust made from gingersnap cookies, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon perfectly holds the tart filling in this citrus dessert. The recipe calls for frozen orange juice concentrate, which adds a burst of bright flavor without extra ingredients. Chill for at least four hours, or overnight, to set.

Handel House Museum
The house that was Handel's home between 1723 and his death in 1759, where he composed his 'Messiah', 'Music for the Royal Fireworks' and several operas, is now a museum devoted to the composer's life and work, presented in the context of the London he knew. The museum's refurbished 1720 interiors include furniture taken from the house after Handel's death. 23 Brook Street, the upper floors of which were home to rock legend Jimi Hendrix in 1968 and 1969, provides a space for changing exhibitions and events. The house was part of the same development as number 25 and has been restored accordingly. Talks take place on Saturday afternoons, on subjects including costumes, paintings, music and London in the eighteenth century.
