Strawberry shortcake has been a classic favorite for generations and for good reason! Loaded with fresh strawberries, topped with whipped cream, and piled upon a flaky shortcake, these easy-to-make desserts are the perfect treat for all ages. Don't love strawberries but love shortcake? Substitute any berry of your choosing!
Enjoy a summer treat in the middle of winter by either splurging on fresh strawberries or using frozen.
If the bottoms of the shortcakes stick slightly to the cookie sheet, use a metal spatula to easily lift them off.
Get creative with your fruit filling. Why not Raspberry Shortcakes? Or Blueberry-Peach?
Wash and cut fruit just before making the shortcake.
Mix fruit with sugar and let stand so it draws out juice and makes a fruit syrup to spoon over the shortcake.
Cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs, so butter will be evenly distributed, for flaky shortcake.
Stir just until blended so that dough isn't overmixed, which can make shortcake tough.
Beat whipping cream only until soft peaks form so that it holds a loose shape when spooned onto the shortcake.
This recipe uses Bisquick™ for an easy, flaky shortcake shortcut that doesn't skimp on taste. If you're looking for an all-scratch recipe for a shortcake try our Strawberry Shortcake.

About United Kingdom Policies & Human Biotechnology
The United Kingdom's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA), established in 1991, is often considered a model for regulating and overseeing human biotechnologies. It licenses and monitors all research involving human embryos, and all facilities offering in vitro fertilization or storage of eggs, sperm, or embryos. UK law does not permit certain activities involving human embryos.
The HFEA's 21 members are appointed by UK Health Ministers; at least half of them are required to be neither doctors nor scientists involved in human embryo research or infertility treatment.
To grant a research license, the HFEA must be satisfied that the use of human embryos is "necessary or desirable" for an enumerated purpose. The HFEA inspects licensed clinics annually; produces a Code of Practice that guides clinics on proper conduct; keeps a formal registry for donors, treatments, and children born; and conducts public consultations on controversial applications.

For Memorial Day: Ten Authors Who Have Served
Writers, perhaps unsurprisingly, are among the harshest critics of the word "patriotism" and especially of decisions to go to war. Many express sentiments similar to James Baldwin (Go Tell It on the Mountain) who said, "I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." Despite their often vocal criticism, many authors have served in our armed forces. Here are ten of those who risked their lives and reflected on the experiences of war.
1. E.E. Cummings – Volunteer Ambulance Driver, France, World War I
"America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still."
2. Ernest Hemingway, Volunteer Ambulance Driver, Italy, World War I
"Once we have a war, there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than can ever happen in war.
3. Isaac Asimov, Philadelphia Navy Yard Naval Air Experimentation Station, United States Army, World War II
"No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be."

I find the whole argument of patterning your shotgun difficult to believe. It's an industry within the turkey hunting industry.
The more choke, the more pellets within the target. What's the big deal of shooting over and over with different loads and different chokes until you get it just right? Get what right?
This is not rocket science.
Anybody have a different opinion?

The Street today is reflecting on the release yesterday by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) of its global sales report for chips for the month of August, which showed an increase of just one tenth of a percent versus July, at $24.30 billion, and a 3.2% decline from the year-earlier period.
(Note that SIA results no longer incorporate data from two of the biggest chip makers, Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have backed out of the program. Those companies' contribution to the aggregate are interpolated.)
SIA CEO Brian Toohey remarked that sales have "held steady" but that economic woes have "hampered growth."
Wedbush's Betsy Van Hees this morning writes that the 2% decline in August, when not counted as a "rolling three-month average," as the SIA does, is below the normal seasonal rise of 2% for August over the last five years.
That probably means that August was "in line" for chip makers, but she sees some lift this quarter as "Q4 holiday builds and moderate infrastructure spending to be a near-term positive catalyst for the group." Van Hees prefers shares of Broadcom (BRCM), Cypress Semiconductor (CY), Micron Technology (MU), Nvidia (NVDA), and Texas Instruments (TXN).
JP Morgan's Christopher Danely writes that the 2.5% decline (apparently he's using still another view into the data) was below his 2.9% growth estimate, and below what he calculates as a 5.8% average rise in August.
Danely notes that unit growth of 7%, year over year, was in line with his expectation, while prices were weaker: "August ASPs ex-discretes decreased 11.2% YoY, below our estimate of down 4.4% YoY due to lower MPU and DRAM ASPs."
Evercore Partners's Patrick Wang, like Van Hees, thinks there may be reason to buy in for the current quarter's results:
We maintain low expectations on holiday builds and think the lethargy continues through September, but would be owners of chip stocks in the Nov / Dec timeframe catalyzed by the potential for a rise in bookings ahead of CNY. As such, we see the SOX appreciating into 2013 and would be opportunistic on weakness / pullbacks – such as 3Q earnings season.
Wang's picks are TI, ON Semiconductor (ONNN), ARM Holdings (ARMH), Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC).

Yum Brands (YUM) beat earnings forecasts yesterday, and shares of the beaten down restaurant company have jumped 6.9% to $68.57 this morning.
The beat was driven by better margins–especially in China, even as sales there slumped–says Raymond James analyst Bryan Elliott, while the big gain is likely a result of the company restating its guidance for 2013 and expressing confidence in double-digit growth come 2014.
Those goals are attainable but whether the company meets them will come down to two factors: How fast sales recover from bird flu and Yum's ability to control margins in the meantime.
Elliott, for one, is not willing to give the company the benefit of the doubt. He writes:
While such a scenario could occur, sales visibility has deteriorated significantly in recent weeks with management now expecting April China comps to decline 30% as news of a new strain of bird flu has negatively impacted sales. With the number of infections/deaths (most recently 108 and 22, respectively) growing on a near-daily basis and the source of infection in some patients yet to be determined, the situation remains fluid and highly uncertain.
That's a problem because the actual impact on sales is anyone's guess, not good news for a company where "every 1% change in annual China comps equates to ~$0.05 of EPS on an annual basis," Elliott says.
Other analysts take a similar view. Goldman Sachs, for instance, calls first quarter earnings a "solid beat," but it remains "cautious given the ongoing uncertainty with respect to full year results." Bernstein's Sara Senatore, meanwhile, notes that given the impact of Avian flu so far–sales are down 30% in April– management's guidance "for unchanged earnings appears to embed a sharp recovery in subsequent month."
And while profit margins in China were a nice surprise, says JPMorgan analysts led by John Ivankoe, it "doesn't change the fact of currently decelerating sales trends in the market." They believe that management's guidance is "aggressive" and investors should wait for a better opportunity–perhaps in the low $60s–to purchase the stock.
Still, through the entire tainted-chicken crisis and now bird flu, Yum's management has stuck to its guns. And at least one group of analysts thinks they will be able to deliver. Oppenheimer's Brian Bittner and Michael Tamas write:
Mgmt says bird flu will drive April comps down 30%—not good, but likely represents the bottom and many had expected worse. All in all, no negative surprises within release and despite unexpected flu impact, mgmt maintained its '13 EPS outlook for MSD decline. If YUM can continue to proactively manage margins and China trends bounce back by 4Q, guidance and Street numbers (both '13 and '14) could prove conservative.
Ultimately, they're all saying the same thing. Bird flu's a problem. Your opinion on how big of one, and the company's ability to manage through it, will determine whether you're a buyer or a seller.

Showcasing student engineers' diverse pursuits
Posted December 26, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
In an effort to communicate the breadth of achievements and interests of its students, Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science has created a series of posters and an online gallery profiling more than 30 graduate and undergraduate students.
Through independent research projects ranging from water management strategies in Africa to the development of more effective medical treatments, Princeton engineering students tackle fundamental problems in their fields and tie together coursework from across the University. Their projects and extracurricular activities often involve international study, public service and entrepreneurship.
Matthew Reid, a graduate student in civil and environmental engineering, holds samples to analyze for his research in biogeochemistry, focusing on the relationship between wetland vegetation and soils, and volatile compounds and gases in the atmosphere. Once a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania, Reid also has interests in sustainability and international development. (Photo courtesy of Matthew Reid)
"Our students engage in fascinating collaborations because, ultimately, engineering is about putting science to use in the service of society," said H. Vincent Poor, dean of engineering. "The most urgent and most interesting questions often involve a mix of technological and human factors, so the opportunities to bring these perspectives together at Princeton are very exciting."
The posters are on view in the main hallway of Princeton's Engineering Quadrangle. To visit an online gallery of the profiles, visit the school's website.
Rebecca Fiebrink distinguished herself as a graduate student studying the intersection of music and human-computer interaction. After receiving her Ph.D. this past spring, she was appointed immediately to the faculty as an assistant professor of computer science. (Photo by Brian Wilson)
Christopher Tralie, a 2011 graduate, participates in "Car Lab," a flagship junior-year electrical engineering course in which students compete to design and build small cars that meet challenging performance specifications. In senior independent work that spanned electrical engineering and computer science, Tralie developed a method to identify and classify objects detected in LIDAR (an optical version of RADAR) data. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)
In addition to being captain of the varsity football team and spearheading efforts to raise awareness and funding for rare diseases, Jordan Culbreath — a 2011 graduate who majored in mechanical and aerospace engineering — also received academic honors such as the Enoch J. Durbin Prize for Engineering Innovation and the Donald Janssen Dike Award for Undergraduate Research. Together with Michael Schoder, a member of Princeton's Class of 2010, Culbreath developed a cold-water hydrotherapy spa system for varsity athletes that is more cost- and energy-efficient. (Photo by Brian Wilson)
Alex Faust plays tennis, one of his extracurricular activities as a Princeton undergraduate. A 2011 graduate who majored in operations research and financial engineering, Faust served as captain of the University's varsity team. In his senior independent research, Faust worked on transportation systems analysis, studying methods for optimizing evacuations under large-scale disaster scenarios.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I agree I am preparing my copper tubes right now to tie this pattern.
Hi Dana,
It certainly looks like a great pattern -- useful (read - visible)both in clear and dirty water. Like Henry Ford said, "any colour as long as it's black." It too should work well over here on the Island streams.
I think copper is an underrated colour when it comes to adding some subtle flash/glow to a fly. Not only that, but there seems to be some positive electrolytic (ion) properties to copper which seem attractive to fish -- but that's for a whole 'nother thread.
I have been fashioning my own tubes out of 1/8 O.D. general purpose copper tubing. That tubing offers some nice weight and gets the fly down quickly when that is necessary. Copper tubing is relatively easy to work with -- it can be cut cleanly by rolling it under a sharp knifeblade, and it's fairly cheap -- about 28 cents per lineal foot. Shine it up and coat with clear lacquer, or over-rib with tinsel, or cover it up with other body materials -- any way you want, it serves as a great base for building a fly pattern.
I use a short section of small diameter surgical tubing to connect/trap the eye of the hook (Mustad #9174) to the rear of the tube.
These heavy tubes work well for steelhead on my turbulent home stream -- Gold River -- and are easily, and safely handled with a nine or ten-weight Spey rod.
Yes I like the look of this one but will need to do in smaller sizes
6 and below for mid west.
Our steelhead go into seizure with anything larger than a size 6 with these clear spring creek type water clarity conditions we usually have in Michigan.
Right now we are fishing size 10 - 14 nymphs for winter runs, and there are fish in the 15 -17 lb range being hooked but not landed on those sizes.
Another goodie.
There's some 'really cool' stuff back in the "archive" section. Back to look at more of this.
|Thanks for the feedback on the fly, chromer and KenD! Ken, reading your post has me thinking that your lettuce and tomato version would also be great for fresh-run steelies on the Dean. I currently favor a pattern called the Artic White or Bride's Fly that Derek Brown developed for Atlantic salmon on Russia's Ponoi--tied in-the-round, it has a long greenish-yellow tail and orange arctic fox veiled with white artic fox at the head, with a copper wire body. In the water the white fox "disappears" and the overall effect is of a soft or pale orange. I think your "deluxe burger" version of the tube tied with a longish tail of mixed green and yellow bucktail would make a passable "imitation" of the Artic White--there, now you've done it! I have to get to the bench and tie some up for August!
|Ken D
|Radio Shack, and www.uniproducts.com may have that shade. Looks like a good pattern...I'll bet it has potential in other colours too. My mind is already envisioning one in lettuce and tomato for the sockeye and pinks. (hot orange/red and flo green for front and rear hackles.)
Looks deadly for the Thompson! Those big steelies up there love black. Clever design, and I like the brake tube / copper wire trick!
Nice job
Thompson Tube
Thompson Tube
Dana Sturn
The Thompson Tube is the tube fly version of the Thompson Stone, a fly I designed a few years ago for steelhead on British Columbias Thompson River. The fly is relatively easy to tie and requires few materials. The original has been very productive for me on the Thompson and Dean rivers, and the tube version put two Thompson fish on the beach the first day I used it last season.
To tie the Thompson Tube you need the following:
· 1/8in OD (outside diameter) black semi-flexible air brake tubing (sold at auto supply stores)
· fine reddish-brown wire (I got mine from the spools found inside old rotary telephones)
· black dubbing
· black saddle hackle
· black 6/0 thread
· tube fly vice
I generally use the Tiemco 105 Glo-Bug hook in size 4 with this fly, and youll find that the air brake tubing fits snugly around the hook eye. To be certain, take a hook with you to the auto supply shop and test the fit of the hook eye before you purchase the tubing. Dont worry too much if the clerks look at you funnyjust tell them youre a fly fisher and theyll sort of understand. Heck, they might even take pity on you and give you a few feet of tubing for free like they did where I bought mine!
1. cut your tube to desired lengthI use 1/2in-to-2in tubes for this fly. If I am using it as a winter dressing on the Skagit or at first light on the Thompson in the fall Ill use the longer tube.
2. using a lighter, heat one end of the tube by holding the tube close to the flame but not in contact with it. The heated end will curl back a little, forming a nice head for the fly. This head will prevent the thread wraps from slipping off the fly.
3. mount your tube in the vice. The air brake tubing has a natural curve to it so make sure the outside of the bend forms the top of the fly.
4. mount your thread at the rear of the fly, leaving @ 1/8in exposed tubing at the back. This exposed tubing will become your hook holder.
5. take several wraps around the thread mount point creating a slight bump which will help to flair the rear hackle out around the hook.
6. tie in a saddle hackle with barbs of the appropriate length by the tip in front of the bump of thread. Take several turns of the hackle around the tube, stroking the barbs back with each turn so that the barbs flair out around the back of the tube, creating a shroud that will conceal the hook. Tie off the hackle.
7. wind the thread forward to within 1/8in of the front of the tube.
8. lay the wire across the top of the tube and secure the wire to the tube with thread by winding the thread back to the rear hackle. Then wind the thread forward again, tie off and cut the thread.
9. if you have a rotary tube vice it will pay for itself during this step. Wind the wire forward to the tie off point by rotating the tube with your rotary mechanism. Then, using a pair of old tying scissors snip off the wire, re-mount the thread and secure the wire end to the tube with several turns of thread, making sure to cover the wire end.
10. wind the thread @ 1/3 of the way back toward the rear hackle and tie in a long saddle hackle by the tip. Trim excess. (note: be sure that the barbs on the lower part of the hackle stem are long enough to reach to the mid point of the fly, measuring from the front end of the wire body.)
11. Dub a thorax, leaving @1/8in between the thorax and end of the tube.
12. Palmer the hackle forward to the front of the thorax , stroking the barbs to the rear with each turn, then take several turns around the front of the thorax, forming a hackle collar that shrouds the front half of the fly. Tie off and trim excess.
13. take several turns of thread along the remaining length of tubing and whip finish. Cement with Zap-a-Gap or head cement.
14. Go catch a steelhead.

Largest monthly gain since May; jobless rate falls to 8.9 percent, near a two-year low
WASHINGTON U.S. employers added 192,000 jobs last month, the government reported Friday the biggest monthly jump since May and the latest sign that the nations employment picture is set to brighten this year.
The monthly payrolls gain was above market expectations for 185,000 jobs, with factories, professional and business services, education and health care among those expanding employment. As in previous months, the private sector accounted for all the job gains in February, with an addition of 222,000 positions, the most since April and up from 68,000 in January.

U.S. Stocks Fall as Wal-Mart Tumbles Amid Economic DataLu Wang and Leslie Picker
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell, snapping three days of gains, as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. tumbled and investors weighed economic data.
Wal-Mart slipped 2.2 percent amid the worst sales start of a month in seven years. Agilent Technologies Inc. fell 5.2 percent after cutting its full-year forecast. CBS Corp. climbed 4 percent after forecasting growth in licensing fees and an increase in its share buybacks. MeadWestvaco Corp. rallied 13 percent after Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund Management LP took a stake in the packaging company.
The S&P 500 fell 0.1 percent to 1,519.79 at 4 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 8.37 points, or 0.1 percent, to 13,981.76. About 6.7 billion shares traded hands on U.S. exchanges, 9.7 percent above the three-month average, as options on stocks, equity indexes and exchange-traded products were set to expire. The market is closed Feb. 18 for Presidents Day.
Wal-Mart's sales slowdown "is a sign that the consumer is not as ready to come back as maybe Wall Street was hoping," Terry L. Morris, who helps oversee about $2.6 billion at Wyomissing, Pennsylvania-based National Penn Investors Trust Co., said by phone. "Maybe the market is a little ahead of itself at assuming better growth than what's actually there."
Among economic reports, U.S. consumer confidence rose in February to a three-month high and manufacturing in the New York region unexpectedly expanded. Industrial production nationwide posted a surprise contraction in January as factories took a breather after the biggest back-to-back gain in three decades.
G-20 Meeting
Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers began talks in the Russian capital today to find some common ground on currencies, with investors seeking clarity on how comfortable they are with a sliding yen. Russia, who holds the G-20's rotating presidency this year, wants to head off a global currency war by pushing policy makers to make stronger commitments against exchange-rate manipulation.
In the U.S., lawmakers face a deadline to agree on a deal avoiding scheduled budget cuts, a process known as sequestration. Senate Democrats unveiled a $110 billion plan yesterday to delay federal spending cuts, including tax increases Republicans already say they won't accept. The plan would postpone the March 1 start of more than $1 trillion in cuts until 2014, replacing them with defense-spending reductions, a halt in direct payments to farmers and a tax increase imposing a minimum 30 percent rate on top earners.
'Modest Downside'
"At this point, it just looks like the market may be interested in pausing and pondering," John Stoltzfus, chief market strategist at New York-based Oppenheimer & Co., said in a telephone interview. "Perhaps even a modest downside bias while we look to the March 1 deadline in Washington."
The S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent this week, completing a seventh straight week of gains, the longest streak since January 2011. It has climbed 6.6 percent in 2013 as U.S. lawmakers reached a budget compromise. The benchmark gauge has more than doubled since bottoming in March 2009 as the Federal Reserve conducted three rounds of bond buying to lower interest rates and boost economic growth.
The index is trading at 15 times reported earnings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While the multiple reached the highest level since July 2011, it's below the six-decade average of 16.4, the data show.
Energy Slumps
Four out of the 10 groups in the S&P 500 fell today as energy and financial companies dropped the most, sinking at least 0.3 percent. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, which measures the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the S&P 500, dropped 1.6 percent to 12.46.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, dropped $1.52 to $69.30. Sales slumped this month as payroll-tax increases hit shoppers already battling a slow economy, according to internal e-mails obtained by Bloomberg News. The numbers "are a total disaster," Jerry Murray, Wal-Mart's vice president of finance and logistics, said in a Feb. 12 e-mail to other executives.
Agilent slipped $2.33 to $42.25. The scientific-testing equipment company lowered its full-year sales forecast, citing a potential slowdown in government spending and demand in the cell-phone market.
Transocean Ltd. fell 5.1 percent to $56.26. Deutsche Bank AG cut the rating for the world's largest offshore driller to sell from hold, citing an increase in out-of-service time at its fleet.
Licensing Fees
CBS advanced $1.70 to $44.64. The owner of the most-watched U.S. television network will get $500 million in cable and broadcast licensing fees this year, halfway toward its goal of $1 billion by 2017, Chief Financial Officer Joseph Ianniello said. The broadcaster added $1 billion to its budget for Class B stock repurchases this year, almost double what it had previously planned.
MeadWestvaco climbed $3.97 to $35.65 after Trian disclosed it bought 1,595,125 shares in the fourth quarter. Peltz, 70, is known for taking stakes in companies and then engaging management in efforts to increase shareholder value.
Gap Inc. climbed 4.9 percent to $32.88. The biggest U.S. specialty-apparel retailer may have hired a financial adviser after receiving interest from Japan's Fast Retailing Co., CNBC reported, citing StreetAccount. Edie Kissko, a spokeswoman for Gap, declined to comment.
Office Depot Inc. advanced 2 percent to $4.59. The second-largest U.S. office-supply chain is in talks to sell the remaining 50 percent of its Mexican unit to Grupo Gigante SAB, said people familiar with the situation.
Burger King Worldwide Inc. rose 4.7 percent to $17.36 after posting fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analysts' estimates. The fast-food chain boosted its dividend 25 percent to 5 cents a share.
Herbalife Ltd. climbed 1.2 percent to $38.74. Carl Icahn reported a 13 percent stake in Herbalife yesterday and said he would seek talks with the nutritional supplements company. Strategic alternatives for Herbalife may include taking it private, he said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Phantom Menace and later The Attack of the Clones spawned a whole bunch of new more or less interesting designs of vehicles and spaceships very much unlike the ones in the first trilogy but Star Wars Episode II had the best designs and creations of the two prequels.
Upon first seeing Episode I wasnt actually thrilled with the new designs as they were as far away from the designs in the original trilogy but as time has passed by and Episode II came along Ive started to accept them more and more and the Geonosian Fighter is such vehicle.
The box:
See my review of 4480 Jabbas Palace.
The instruction booklet:
See my review of 4480 Jabbas Palace.
The building of the set:
Not much at all to say here, as its very easy to build.
The set itself:
With this set you get four (4) mini figures in the shape of two sand red Battle Droids and two Geonosians that are quite nice and welcome for the mini figure fans and collectors especially the later two even if they look somewhat beefed up on steroids with mini figure bodies.
However you only get one set of wings and thats for the gunner station Geonosian handling that mother of a gun while the pilot Geonosian had his ones cut off (joking) but then again he wouldnt fit in the cockpit of the fighter so I guess thats why they were left out in this set.
Just like Mr. JediTricks said himself the Geonosian Fighter itself builds up in rather funny way but it all makes sense when you finished off building it and its kind of looking like a Twin-Pod Cloud Car flying on the side and its from there I guess they got the design.
As far as accuracy goes I really cant comment on that one as they swooshed past the screen when I saw it a while back and then again I havent checked up any reference as well as having the prepaid Episode II shipped to me from Canada but it looks the fighters in the film.
To sum things up:
A nice little set indeed even if it isnt one of my favorite designs from the two new movies in the Star Wars saga but still a interesting vehicle in my collection due its un-usual design but still a set Id recommend for the fans and fan-atics of the LEGO system line and Star Wars.
So therefore Ill give the Geonosian Fighter a score of 4 out 5.
There you have it people. Hope you enjoyed my little review and contribution.
Kindest regards,
Lars Sweden Olsson in Sundsvall, Sweden.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:42 PM GMT on July 14, 2011
An exceptional accumulation of very severe natural catastrophes, including earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand, tornadoes and flooding in the U.S., and flooding in Australia and New Zealand, make 2011 the highest-ever loss year on record, even after the first half-year, said re-insurance giant Munich Re in a press release this week. The $265 billion in economic losses accumulated this year exceeds the previous record year, 2005, which had $220 billion in damage (mostly due to $125 billion in damage from Hurricane Katrina.) Unlike 2005, this year's losses have been headlined by two huge earthquakes--the March 11 quake in Japan ($210 billion) and the February 22 quake in New Zealand ($20 billion.) But with the Northern Hemisphere's hurricane season just beginning, this year's record losses may see a significant boost from hurricanes.
Figure 1. Stunned survivors survey the destruction left by the EF-4 Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of April. With a price tag estimated at $2 billion, this was the single most expensive tornado of all-time. The record stood only three weeks, being surpassed by the $3 billion in damage from the Joplin Missouri, tornado. The two tornado outbreaks that spawned these tornadoes rank as the globe's 3rd and 5th most destructive natural disasters so far this year. Image from an anonmous posting to Twitter.
Climate change and damage from weather-related disasters
In an interview with MSNBC, Peter Hoppe, who runs Munich Re's Geo Risks Research/Corporate Climate Center, said that while the damage trend for earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions is fairly stable, damage from severe weather events is on the upswing, even after factoring in increases in population and wealth. He cited natural events such as La Niña and El Niño as factors in some of the damaging weather events, but added that warming temperatures appear to be adding a layer "on top" of that natural variability. In particular, he noted that the floods this January in Australia--that nation's most expensive natural disaster of all time--occurred when ocean temperatures off the coast were at record warm levels. That meant "more evaporation and higher potential for these extreme downpours", and "it can only be explained by global warming."
Figure 2. The five most expensive natural disasters of 2011, as estimated by Munich Re.
However, the there is a lot of controversy on whether economic losses due to weather-related disasters is increasing due to climate change. A 2010 paper in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society by Netherlands researcher Laurens Bouwer titled, "Have disaster losses increased due to anthropogenic climate change?", looked at 22 disaster loss studies in various parts of the world. All of the studies showed an increase in damages from weather-related disasters in recent decades. The big question is, how much of this increase in damage was due to increases in population, and the fact people are getting wealthier, and thus have more stuff to get damaged? Fourteen of the 22 studies concluded that there were no trends in damage after correcting for increases in wealth and population, while eight of the studies did find upward trends even after such corrections. In all 22 studies, increases in wealth and population were the "most important drivers for growing disaster losses."
Bouwer's review of these 22 disaster loss studies was critiqued this year by Neville Nicholls of the School of Geography and Environmental Science of Montash University, Australia. His analysis, published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, notes that Bouwer's study of damage losses did not include the impact of improvements in building codes and weather forecasting. We can expect both factors to have significantly reduced damages due to storms in recent years. Nicholls concludes, "The absence of an upward trend in normalized losses may be due to a balance between reduced vulnerability (from improved weather forecasting and building techniques) and increased frequency or intensity of weather hazards." In his reply to Nicholls' comments, Bouwer states that Nicholls "provides no support that these factors have actually contributed to a substantial reduction in losses over the period of the last decades."

2004 Gamespot & IGN: San Andreas Reviews
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 04:44 PM MDT | By Neil
The first online review of GTA: San Andreas comes from Gamespot, who have given the title a great 9.6/10 score!
"With its strong story, well-written dialogue, terrific voice cast, impressive graphics, great in-game sound, and extremely entertaining and varied gameplay, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a stupendous thrill ride that shouldn't be missed."
The game only loses out in two areas; graphics and sound. While graphics are something that can be put down to the PS2's hardware, sound seems to be one area that everyone felt was going to take the game high above its competitors. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. Included with the article are thirty two new screenshots, and one video review.

Secondly, IGN have a review of the game online, scoring an incredible 9.9/10!
"Live the life you want to live; do the things you want to do, it's entirely up to you. But however you choose to do it, do it now. Drop everything and do it right now. It's the best PlayStation 2 game ever made. Period."

|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|After growing up around lots and lots of boats and seeing all the problems with I/O units, and especially how tough it is to work on them, I'll always get an outboard. One handy thing that I've had to take advantage of before is using a rope to pull start an outboard when the battery wouldn't do it. It's not easy to turn over a 200HP outboard with a rope starter, but you can do it if you're persistent!
|AWESOME! Nice conversion dude.
New engine
After tons of problems with our I/O we finally got sick of it and switched to an outboard mounted on a bracket. The engine had its maiden voyage on Christmas day and has been out a few times since. We have some hours left on the break-in period but so far things are great. On the up-side 1. we have an engine we can rely upon, 2. less weight so our scups are higher, 3. a lot more room aft, 4. a swim platform to aid our scuba adventures, 5. the hole shot is increadible, 6. low speed manuverability is greatly increased, 7. high speed control is increased, 8. it will be easier for us to work on. On the down side 1. We lost speed and horses but we never had the old engine to WOT and we were uncomfortable taking it over 30 kts and we have had the new one up to 33 kts comfortably so this probably should go on the upside, 2. We predict a loss of 1mpg.
The process was really pretty easy. We removed the old engine, took up part of the sole aft, sealed the outdrive hole, added significantly to the transom, added some seriously hefty transom supports, sand and epoxy (4 coats), attached the mount, installed the new engine, test, and sea trial on Christmas day. All told it was probably less than 40 hours of work.
attached is the before and after.

I enjoyed greatly reading both your posts of fall calling & your winter hunting tales. It's obvious that you spend a good deal of time studying your quarry, & you tell a good tale. You've got me hooked on how good a turkey spot SW Wisconsin is.
Late last fall my wife & I spent a few days there for the first time. Not turkey hunting unfortunately, just sightseeing. Gorgeous hills & valleys. If I were a turkey, that's where I'd spend my days.
So this year I've put in for my normal zone 2 slot requests, but in the leftover permit draw I intend to pick up a zone 1 permit or two. Really looking forward to turkey hunting somewhere in that beautiful area. Thanks for the push.

Family: Bignoniaceae, Trumpet Creeper view all from this family
Description Native to the southeastern United States in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Common names include Southern Catalpa, Cigartree, and Indian Bean Tree. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 15-18 meters tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter with brown to gray bark, maturing into hard plates or ridges. The short thick trunk supports long and straggling branches which form a broad and irregular head. The roots are fibrous and branches are brittle. Its juices are watery and bitter.
The leaves are large and heart shaped, being 20-30 cm long and 15-20 cm broad. The bright green leaves appear late and as they are full grown before the flower clusters open, add much to the beauty of the blossoming tree. They secrete nectar, a most unusual characteristic for leaves, by means of groups of tiny glands in the axils of the primary veins.
The flowers are 2.5-4 cm across, trumpet shaped, white with yellow spots inside; they grow in panicles of 20-40. In the northern states of the USA, it is a late bloomer, putting forth great panicles of white flowers in June or early in July when the flowers of other trees have mostly faded. These cover the tree so thickly as almost to conceal the full grown leaves. The general effect of the flower cluster is a pure white, but the individual corolla is spotted with purple and gold, and some of these spots are arranged in lines along a ridge, so as to lead directly to the honey sweets within. A single flower when fully expanded is two inches long and an inch and a half wide. It is two-lipped and the lips are lobed, two lobes above and three below, as is not uncommon with such corollas.
The fruit is a long, thin bean like pod 20-40 cm long and 8-10 mm diameter; it often stays attached to tree during winter. The pod contains numerous flat light brown seeds with two papery wings.
It is closely related to the Northern Catalpa (C. speciosa), and can be distinguished by the flowering panicles, which bear a larger number of smaller flowers, and the slightly slenderer seed pods.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Fields.
Range Southeast, New England, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, California, Great Lakes, Plains, Florida.
Comments Some landowners and designers consider this nearly indestructible tree a nuisance because the leaves smell bad when crushed, flowers litter the ground with decaying petals after a too-brief appearance, and root suckers can create a problem. A particular green & black striped caterpillar can completely defoliate southern catalpa trees, but the trees recover, growing new set of leaves withing a month.
Exposure Preference Partial sun.
Flower May - June
Native Distribution Gulf Coast from n. Florida to e. Mississippi; widely naturalized elsewhere
Site Preference Stream banks; wetlands; low woodlands
Soil Preference Wet to moist soils.

Complaints and investigations
Controversy has followed Brown since the start of her national political career, from her actions while a state legislator.[7] The Florida Ethics Commission fined Brown $5,000 for using legislative employees as dual employees of her travel business.[7]
A few weeks after becoming a member of the U.S. House in 1993, the Federal Elections Commission began investigating her. Her former campaign treasurer quit and said Brown had neglected to take action against an aide who had committed forgery, forging the treasurer's signature on her financial documents. The staffer alleged to have forged the treasurer's signature stayed with Brown and as of 1998 was her chief of staff.[7] In 1996, there was another investigation concerning charges that Brown improperly received and spent a $10,000 check from a secret account used for money laundering by National Baptist Convention leader Henry Lyons.[2] Brown admitted receiving the check but denied she had used the money improperly.[2] She was accused of not reporting the check or reporting who she received the money from. Brown said that she had taken the check and converted it into another check made out to Pameron Bus Tours to pay for transportation to a rally she organized in Tallahassee. She said that she didn't have to report the money because the rally was to protest the reorganization of her district lines, and she did not use it for herself.[2] If the $10,000 gift had been reported, it would have exceeded the $1,000 individual donation limit.[2]
Brown had had previous dealings with Lyons; in 1992, her campaign paid $5,000, allegedly for a computer, to a company owned by Lyons. The company had shut down six years earlier.[7] Her office once arranged for Lyons to buy several airline tickets at the government discount rate.[7] Under Congressional rules, only members of Congress and their staffers are allowed to take this rate.[7]
On February 25, 2004 Brown referred to the George W. Bush administration as a "racist" "bunch of white men" in a meeting with senior State Department officials and members of Congress.[8] Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega, a Mexican American, said that he deeply resented "being called a racist and branded a white man." Brown replied to Noriega and Cuban-American Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart that "you all look alike to me".[citation needed] Brown later apologized for her statements, but still contends that President Bush's involvement in the 2004 Haiti Rebellion was racist.[citation needed] On November 3, 2008, while attending a Barack Obama rally in Jacksonville, Brown was interviewed by two college journalists about her comments concerning George W. Bush, and whether he should be impeached. Brown had no comment about her previous statements and was quoted as saying, "it won't matter soon."[citation needed]
Ethics involving daughter
On June 9, 1998, the Congressional Accountability Project filed an ethics complaint against Brown. The Project called for the U.S. House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to investigate several violations of House Rule 10.[9] One of the complaints was that Brown's daughter Shantrel, a lawyer who worked for the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, had received a $50,000 Lexus LS 400 automobile as a gift from an agent of a Gambian millionaire named Foutanga Sissoko. Sissoko, a friend of Congresswoman Brown, had been imprisoned in Miami after pleading guilty to charges of bribing a customs officer. Brown had worked to secure his release, pressuring U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno to deport Sissoko back to his homeland as an alternative to continued incarceration. The Project held this violated the House gift rule, but Brown denied she had acted improperly. The congressional subcommittee investigating Brown found insufficient evidence to issue a Statement of Alleged Violation, but said she had acted with poor judgment in connection with Sissoko.[10][2]
In June 2007, Citizens for Ethics released a report reporting Brown's daughter Shantrel Brown-Fields as a congressional lobbyist; the organization maintains that Congressional relatives working as lobbyists for special interests are a conflict of interest for lawmakers. Brown-Fields is employed by Alcalde & Fayte, with clients including ITERA, Miami-Dade County Commission, and Edward Waters College. In 2006, Brown's campaign committee paid her daughter's husband, Tyree Fields, $5,500 for political consulting work. Rep. Brown has earmarked millions of dollars in federal funding for her daughter's client Edward Waters College.[11]
Controversy During Tropical Storm Faye
On Friday, August 22nd 2008, during the height of Tropical Storm Faye, which was pounding the North Florida area with heavy rain and winds, Ms. Brown called the City of Jacksonville to request pumps and sandbags be brought to her house along the Trout River because it was flooding. According to Brown, she made several phone calls to Jacksonville's Public Works Office for free sandbags, FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers, Home Depot to find sandbags, before she finally reached Adam Hollingsworth on Friday, chief of staff for Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton. Hollingsworth once worked for Ms. Brown before this job with the city, according to an article on the Florida Times-Union website. [12]
City vehicles showed up, with a crew of inmates because the city uses low-risk inmates to do work, to sandbag the garage and front door after she was flooded with about a foot of water. Brown got angry with the reporter from Channel 4 doing the interview, demanding that the City of Jacksonville figure out how much it cost and she would "pay the bill" to silence any controversy. According to her neighbor, Joe Deloach, asked for the same help from the crew of inmates sandbagging Ms. Brown's property, but was denied and laughed at by the crew working on the project. [13]
On November 3, 2008, while attending a Barack Obama rally in Jacksonville, Florida, Brown was momemtarily heckled concerning her sandbag controversy, but did not acknowledge her accusers.[citation needed]

I know that Floridians in general and Gators in particular are very proud of Mrs. Brown and the fine job she is doing in Congress.

By the way, how do you get a UF graduate off your front porch?........

Afghanistan: Avalanches severely hamper aid delivery
Heavy snow and avalanches in Afghanistan's remote and mountainous province of Badakhshan are severely hampering efforts to help hundreds of thousands of people affected by disasters in the north-east of the country.
OCHA has dispatched two of its staff to the region where they are in close contact with the Provincial Disaster Management Committee (PDMC) and aid agencies. Efforts are underway to assess the extent of the damage and mobilize rescue teams.
The disaster has hit an area already struggling to cope with food insecurity.
This year, the UN is appealing for more than US$437 million to help millions of Afghans, including 70,000 people displaced by disasters such as drought, flash floods and other extreme weather.
Limited snow and rainfall last winter had led to drought in 14 Afghan provinces, including Badakhshan, leaving as many as 2.8 million people in need of aid.
The latest disaster has cut off access to affected areas, making it hard for rescue teams to reach villages and people in need. So far, 29 people are reportedly dead and 40 others are injured.
The numbers are expected to increase as aid workers and the PDMC conduct assessment and rescue efforts.

Hello, everyone! My name's Marissa and I'm happy to be here. As a kid, I grew up on DBZ, among other titles. I became more interested in anime about a year ago, when I watched parts of KGNE. Since then, I've been hooked. Now I love anime, especially anime that is romantic. I'm also a fan of shoujo manga, as you can see from my avatar.
My Rating Scale:
5- A masterpiece. I love this show to death.
4.5- Exceptional.
4-Excellent. I really liked this. It stands out to me.
3.5- Very Good.
gin-left: 5px; padding: 0px">3- Good (Average). I enjoyed it, but I've seen better, and I've seen worse.
2.5- Acceptable / Decent.
2- Below average. I liked some aspects, but other things were annoying and/or painful for me to watch.
1.5- Eh. Take it or leave it.
1- Ew. There was very little I liked about this title.
0.5- Completely horrible.
All of my ratings are based strictly on enjoyment.

Hello littlekitty ^^ I am also a huge fan of Special A, especially the Hikari&Kei pairing. I'm currently into Kodocha as well, just read the first few chapters and I'm hooked. If you're into Kodocha, I would highly recommend Gakuen Alice. It's pretty great. I also grew up on DBZ as well. Ah childhood memorie...In case I didn't mention, I like your avatar. Yay for VK and YukixZero XP
Hi littlekitty ^_^
Just wanted to see if you knew yet about the new personal reviews feature on the site? ^_^ I'm going to be removing the forum reviews section within about a month (which includes deleting all of the content in there) and am hoping people will migrate their reviews out into the personal reviews so people on the site can continue to read them.
To add a personal review just go to any entry, click the 'reviews and discussion' tab, and there's a link to add your own review. They work like blogs so you can add pictures/video if you want too, and there are optional score fields. This feature is up for both manga/anime. More info on the feature is in the Site Announcements section of the forum :D
Ttys! ^_^
hello great anime list, also you have cute name.
Haven't heard from you in a while!!! How have you been?
Was just poking around people I haven't talked to in a while and noticed you recently logged in. How have you been? :)

I picked this book up at the comic shop the other day, but haven't been able to read it yet.
Has anyone finished it yet? How was it? No spoilers!
I am not anyone who has finished it yet.
How was it? Well, so far it's about 4" x 6" in great shape, never been opened.
No spoilers! Seriously, spoilers are acceptible, but only if pointed out in HUGE, GIANT LETTERS THAT WOULD DWARF THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN IF SEEN THROUGH THE TELESCOPE AT GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY!
Ahem. Last part; not so serious.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I'm about fifty pages in. So far, so good, though I don't buy the P'w'eck's* story. It just sorta leaves the Ssi-ruuk out, and I know they're either around somehow or they've been killed off. Not sure which.
* Man, that's a lot of apostrophes!
That's my jacket!
I'm almost done. Something about this book just wouldn't let me read large chunks of it at once. I'm glad there's only one more Force Heretic book after this. . . but I wish this was the last one in this mini-series. Not bad, but not great--especially when I had to keep jumping back a few paragraphs and say to myself, "Wait, what's going on here?"
Nom Anor's tale sounded at first like it would be interesting to follow, but it's boring! Ssi-Ruu and P'weck. . . well, they sound cool, too, but so far they've yet to appear in a great story.
But it was a majorly welcome change to see no confrontations with the Yuuzhan Vong.
That's my jacket!
I finished it and *spoiler alert* (they sure are taking their time and a long one at that to head out for zonoma sekot) I know I'd like to see the crew be on the planet for a while longer learning and hearing the history reasoning and finding new jedi and force information, but I have a hunch that their time on the planet will be brief and rushed to wrap up their 3 books and head toward the conclusion.
They really chapters with these authors. Their 100 page chapters are something else and you're right, you do need to go back quite a ways for a refresher as to what a specific party is up too.
More spoliers (the double cross at the end was interesting, along with the vong manipulation) but I don't know why it was necessary and don't see what sort of roll or reason why the vong would try to do in Bakura...unless they are trying to get species to fight eachother to save resources, but it doesn't fit in with the vong motif. And why would they want to help the Sii-ruuvi anyways? They are polar opposites - Vong = organic only no machinery, Sii-ruuvi = souls working machines and their dependance on technology and engineering.
Why do I have a sneaky hunch that Droma is the man behind the Ryn movement...
I was actually hoping Jag would do himself in. I really wish all the main characters in the star wars universe would stop marrying into the powerful family lines. Its starting to feel like the duke of york is marrying or will marry the princess of spain. All these powerful, galactic background families are hooking up. Besides I've never been overly impressed with Jag anyways, not to mention the Soontir family is already tied to galactic history more due to wedge, and his wife being a an ex-holodrama star... let Jania fall for some other pilot or scruffy pirate like her mom did. Don't hook her up with a stuffy flat character ace flyboy. They are way to similar and its not interesting or compelling to read about those two. I hope Jag dies off or goes back his chiss roots, or jaina comes to her senses.
Jacen has it right. A smart nobody in Dani, nothing flashy with her, no galactic pedigree, no famous father or parent.
Heck even Anakin was on the right road with Tahri...
So you think Droma's this "mysterious" Ryn leader, too? I guess it's a little too transparent, eh?
That's my jacket!
Hey El & Tjov, have either of you read The Truce at Bakura? That gives a lot of history and insight to the Ssi-ruuk. I liked the book and I'm looking forward to the 3rd. I, too, would like a little more time in the Unknown/Chiss regions. I'm sure we'll find out some more with the 3rd book and when the Outbound Flight related books come out.
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
Yup, did a high school book report on it.Originally posted by Sidiously Darth
Hey El & Tjov, have either of you read The Truce at Bakura? That gives a lot of history and insight to the Ssi-ruuk.
I still have no idea why the vong would be interested in the Ssi-ruuk. They are abomination to their belief system and I'm suprised they haven't tried to smash them yet.
Taking souls or life essence and plunking it into a machine. The vong would never hear of such a thing.
I was actually hoping to see the vong and ssi-ruuk go at it a little while back and was wondering why they weren't introduced sooner in this fight.
I did read Truce at Bakura, many years ago when it first came out. Like Refugee, it wasn't a bad read, but it's sorta like eating Oreo's: good at the time, but afterwards you still want more. The idea of non-humanoid aliens who go around taking prisoners to power their spaceships is an awesome one. But the books they've appeared in haven't been quite as awesome.
With all the references to the New Republic and the Chiss sending campaigns against the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium shortly after Truce at Bakura, I'd like a novel (or, better yet, a comic with lots of pretty pictures) about that little war-within-a-war.
That's my jacket!
It could happen at some point. We got Tattoine Ghost, so they can still give us some novels from that time period.
I still have started this one yet, I'm still going through the Approaching Storm..

Alexandre Dumas
About the Author
Alexandre Dumas (père) lived a life as romantic as that depicted in his famous novels. He was born on July 24,1802, at Villers-Cotterêts, France, the son of Napoleon's famous mulatto general, Dumas, His early education was scanty, but his beautiful handwriting secured him a position in Paris in 1822 with the du'Orléans, where he read voraciously and began to write. His first play, Henri III et sa cour (1829), scored a resounding success for its author and for the romantic movement. Numerous dramatic successes followed (including the melodrama Kean , later adapted by Jean-Paul Satre), and so did numerous mistresses and adventures. He took part in the revolution of 1830 and caught cholera during the epidemic of 1832, fathered two illegitimate children by two different mistresses, and then married still another mistress. (The first of these two children, Alexandre Dumas, [fils], became a famous author also,) His lavish spending and flamboyant habits led to the construction of his fabulous Château de Monte-Christo, and in 1851 he fled to Belgium to escape creditors. He died on December 5, 1870, bankrupt but still cheerful, saying of death, "I shall tell her a story, and she will be kind to me."
Dumas's overall literary output reached over 277 volumes, but his brilliant historical novels made him the most universally read of all French novelists. With collaborators, mainly Auguste Maquet, Dumas wrote such works as The Three Musketeer (1843-44); its sequels, Twenty Years After (1845) and the great mystery The Man in the Iron Mask (1845-50); and The Count of Monte Cristo (1844). L'action and l'amour were the two essential things in life and his fiction. He declared he "elevated history to the dignity of the novel" by means of love affairs, intrigues, imprisonments, hairbreadth escapes, and duels. His work ignored historical accuracy, Psychology, and analysis, but its thrilling adventure and exuberant inventiveness continue to delight readers, and Dumas remains one of the prodigies of nineteenth-century French literature.

OMAHA, Neb. — Jeremy Abbott's clean but conservative free skate was more than enough to put him in the lead at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Friday night.
The three-time champion scored 84.10 points, three points ahead of Ross Miner. Joshua Farris, silver medalist at last year's junior world championships was third. The free skate is Sunday.
Olympic champion Evan Lysacek had hoped to return at nationals, and it's easy to see why he's contemplating a comeback. Out of 20 men, only four got through their programs without a major error. And while Abbott was clean, he was hardly ambitious, not even attempting a quadruple jump.
Earlier Friday, Olympic silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White won the short dance with a career-best 79.02 points.

Ever wonder how fast "penny" stock ( that's usually how much we get paid ) is growing? Type in any image you're looking for and see how many pages pop up. Many times over 300 and if you multiply that times the number of images on the page, that equals 9000 different images. On what page is your image? If it's on page 289, do you think an art director will have the perseverance to go through all those previous pages to find your image? Scary isn't it. Sometimes I wonder how I sell any images!
Anyways, it all works out OK if like myself, you have pretty low expectations on how much money you're going to make selling stock. I figure it's like a bank account without much money in it that still pays me a 3% dividend each year. Found money. It's getting to the point that it might not be worth driving anywhere...

I saved up $0.25 cents today and got a gumball from the machine at Toys R Us!
Actually I got 2! The machine must have jammed for the previous "player" and I got 2 gumballs for the price of one!
I picked the raspberry apple flavor. It comes out PURPLE. That's pretty. But it's a really big piece and I had to spit it out even before I could tell if it would lose its flavor because my jaw ached from chewing it.
I saved the other piece so I might have it later or roll it on my desk and knock over Star Wars figures.
In any event, yes indeed: saving $0.25 did indeed make a difference in my life today!
Roll them gas prices down! We'll all have gumballs again!

Before I Die: Communities, Art, Purpose, Reflection
A few years ago, artist Candy Chang lost a good friend. The experience left her thinking a lot about death, what in her life was of value, what she wanted to do while she had time, and with whom she should spend those hours. While she knew she wanted to define these objectives, Chang says that she "struggled to maintain perspective." She wondered if others felt similarly adrift.
Chang noticed that there was an old, abandoned home in her New Orleans neighborhood, a perfect canvas for expression. She, along with a group of friends, painted one side of the home in chalkboard paint and created a "Before I die ___________________ " stencil:
Chang had no idea what to expect. But she and her friends attached little baskets of chalk to the sides and stepped away to wait and see:
To Chang's great delight and surprise, the very next day, " the wall was bursting with handwritten responses and it kept growing: Before I die I want to… sing for millions, hold her one more time, eat a salad with an alien, see my daughter graduate, abandon all insecurities, plant a tree, straddle the International Date Line, be completely myself…".

text: I like almost everything about this game. There are certain levels that are very confusing though. I don't like the new special areas where you can get extra lives. You shouldn't be able to get that many lives at once. It makes the game less challenging. Other than that it is a great game.
