Thank you for checking on our disclaimers. Please note this is the area you will find all the fine print associated with an event and will be where we garner information to solve any question associated with The Chris Cakes Experience.
Minimum Charges:
We price our menus with various minimum charges. They are going to be one of the following depending on your menu choice. Each menu on your quote will have a listing such as $395/80% this tells you what minimums we are applying to your event. The actual dollar amount we are charging for the minimum food charges is listed in the verbage at the top of the quote and is the number next to "Min Food Charges".
The Greater of:
$395 or 50% of estimated food charges.
$395 or 80% of estimated food charges
$395 or 100% of estimated food charges
$495 or 100% of estimated food charges
Ala Carte items are always billed at 100% or, if you go over, by the plate.
Mileage tax and any other fees are not included in the "Min Food Charge" and are additional.
This works pretty simply. If your per plate charges total less than the minimum listed on your estimate we charge the minimum. If you are over that minimum charge we will multiply the number of plates served by the quoted per plate charge. If you have ANY questions about the minimum charge for your event please contact the office before your event takes place. We cannot adjust anything post event. We will be able to tell you exactly to the penny what your minimum charge is based on the parameters you have provided.
How We Determine Your Charges
We do count the plates at each event and reserve the right to charge accordingly should you go over your estimate. We do cook onsite and will continue to cook to feed your crowd unless you specifically tell us to stop at a certain point. We will charge for all we serve. We accept no other count besides our plate count and by hiring us you agree this to be an appropriate method of calculating your invoice.
Licensing and Permits
Chris Cakes of Saint Louis is located at PO Box 1461, Fenton, MO 63026. We operate a mobile catering business and conform to all rules set forth by the Missouri Dept of Health that concern our business. If any other licenses, fees, or permits are needed for your event, it is your responsibility to obtain and pay for these items. We will need to be notified if your event needs a temporary health permit. The fees range anywhere from $35 to $150 depending on your locale. We will happily handle acquiring a temporary permit for your event for the food we serve if we are notified with enough notice (14 days generally) and it is required. Most events are covered under our in house health permit and won't need a temporary permit.
Certain parks and areas around St. Louis have fees associated with their use. This will be passed on to you and noted prior to your event. We never mark these up, we simply pass the cost through.
Our Grill Information
All of our equipment should be assumed hot. Some even say our servers are the hottest thing about us!
Our grills are propane powered. If you need an electric grill for your event please let us know as soon as possible as there are many more parameters that must be met to use the electric griddle. We will happily discuss those with you prior to your event.
Our pancake grills are propane powered, don't smoke (it's not healthy anyway) and have been successfully used indoors since 1969. If you would like more information about the grills or need electric grill information just ask, we are always happy to help!
What Happens If….
Weather, Traffic, Car Accidents and Mechanical Breakdown are all things that can and do happen. We do our best to leave early, find a way or send a back up when possible however sometimes the worst happens and we miss an event. We have missed 2 since 2004. We conduct nearly 1000 events a year so the odds of us missing are low. Depending on the circumstances we will work with you to schedule a make up date. Sometimes that is not an option. Please note Chris Cakes STL, LLC is not responsible for any monetary damages associated with a missed event.
Estimates? What's that?
Please do the best you can to make your estimates as accurate as possible. We do not know your particular situation or crowd and will only be able to load for the amount of people for which you tell us to prepare. If you feel that a second grill is needed on your event please mention that to the office. Most days of the year we can send a second or third grill and flipper, however we do charge for that. To avoid those charges we suggest selling serve times 50 people every 15 minute or so. We can serve 200+ people per hour on each specially designed, propane griddle. If you are anticipating serving more people than that every hour please let us know. We can easily serve thousands of people in a short amount of time, we just need to know what equipment to bring. If your event naturally would require a second grill (usually over 700 people) we will send an additional flipper and grill at no extra charge. We really suggest pre-selling tickets to see what your turnout might be. This is the most cost effective way to hold a fundraiser. Corporate "appreciation" events obviously cannot sell tickets so do the best you can on an estimate. We keep track of your history from year to year and can advise you on a decent estimate after the first year. On all first year events we load heavier just in case we have a larger turnout than expected, however do not factor that extra loading into your estimate as it is often utilized by the all you can eat factor.
Is it REALLY All you can Eat?
Yes! As long as it is at one sitting we will feed you until you are full! In fact it is often more entertaining for us to see you try to eat 36 pancakes! Our national record is 72. Now if you get up and come back 2 hours later we are naturally going to assume that is another meal. If you share a meal and come back for seconds or simply load a plate and feed two people from it we will charge the event back for the second or 3rd meal as if that person came through the line.
You are awesome! I want you back!
-Call the office
-Tell your server…then watch your email the next day. If no email call the office please.
-Book online
-Email firstname.lastname@example.com
-Make sure you receive your next booking quote, otherwise you are NOT booked.
Assume you are re-booked automatically.
Send carrier pigeons
Trust that we heard you in a conversation.
Send Smoke Signals
Hope that maybe we will show up, it's better to call us to verify.
How long do you stay?
We stay an appropriate amount of time to feed the people involved. Our office will work with you to determine that.
Maximum serve time without additional charges is 3hrs however most of our events are about 1.5hrs.
Additional hours can be arranged and cost extra.
Shift work is always set up as multiple events with their own minimum charges.
You're done! Now I want to pay you!
Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and Discover are all accepted. We also accept cash and checks.
Fundraisers paying with a credit card will be charged an additional 2.5% as the listed price is for cash or check.
Any tax exempt events must provide an exempt letter before or with payment. If it is not available tax will be collected. It can be refunded upon receipt of the letter.
You're done but I can't pay you now!
If you notify us in advance we will, at our discretion, invoice your event. There are additional charges associated with that because quoted prices are for payment the day of the event. A PO number does not constitute payment and will be treated as an invoiced event.
Chris Cakes STL does operate 364 days a year, 24 hours a day. There is a mandatory surcharge of 20% added to all events that we cater for on any major holiday (including, but not limited to: Easter, Thanksgiving, New Year's, and Fourth of July). Other holidays, including, but not limited to Labor Day, Memorial Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, will have a mandatory surcharge of 15%. These surcharges will be mentioned before the event(s) take place and will be added directly to your invoice and stated as such. We do reserve the right to decline any event on any given day or time. We will not work Christmas Day from 12am to 11:59pm CST.
I need to CANCEL now what?
Our cancellation policy is simple.
Pancakes and Sausage: Before 48 hrs, to the minute, no charges. 47 hrs 59 minutes we will charge the minimum charges listed on the quote.
All other menus 7 days: Before 7 days no charges, after 7 days we charge 100% of estimate.
For Pancakes and Sausage menu: if you cancel less than 48 hrs (we work all hours so the actual 48hrs is important to us not just a casual two days) prior to arrival time you will be billed for the minimum charges indicated on your quote. This is only waived in the event of extremely bad weather, and will be left up to the discretion of Chris Cakes' office. We have missed one event due to weather, we are not saying it can't happen however, 99.9% of the time we will be there.
All other menus or specialty items will be charged in full if the event is cancelled less than 7 full calendar days prior to your event. Our office answering machine is on 24 hrs a day at 314.398.3827. As long as you leave a message, that is good enough you will receive an email confirming we received the cancellation. If you do not receive this we have not cancelled your event. We also can be reached in an emergency at 314.498.1006.
Should Chris Cakes STL, LLC miss your event for ANY reason we are not bound to any financial responsibility beyond any deposit that may have been applied towards your account.

Home Sales Hit Record Levels in April 2015!
Toronto area home sales hit a record high in April, with sales up a 17 per cent year over year across the GTA and prices up 10 per cent, according to figures released by the Toronto Real Estate Board.
The fact that demand remains so high despite limited supply – new listings were up five percent in April, but active (total) listings down more than 10 per cent over a year ago – means strong price gains are likely for the remainder of 2015, said TREB's director of market analysis, Jason Mercer.
Here's a quick look at the numbers for April 2015. Feel free to share this infographic on Facebook or Google+.
If you are considering buying or selling a home or would like information about real estate in your area, contact a member of our Client Care team at 416.238.1542 or 1.800.362.0893, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd be happy to refer you to a local real estate expert or arrange for a private viewing of homes in and around Toronto!!

Last week I led a group of moms in a workshop on how to make a meaningful career change and one of the things I talked about was my own journey to finding and doing work I loved. If you've read my story, you know that I spent most of my career doing what I thought I SHOULD do because I was scared to leave what I thought of as the "safety" of the corporate world. I knew I was capable of doing so much more, but I had no idea what that "something" looked like. And sometimes I worried that I was a lost cause who didn't actually have any passions or dreams.
In the workshop I shared three mindset shifts that allowed me to finally figure out what I love to do & have the courage to pursue it:
1) I got out of my head and started taking action: For most of my 15 years in the corporate world I was passively unhappy. I stayed stuck in my head, daydreaming about what I might want to do instead of my current job (and then immediately coming up with a long list of reasons why each idea would never work) but never actually taking any kind of action or DOING anything about it.
One of my biggest epiphanies was that clarity comes from action.
You can't sit at home & think a dream into reality. You have to take action. You've got to get out of your head.
You can learn so much more by talking to 5 people who are doing what you think you might want to do than you can by sitting behind your computer reading about it & making assumptions that may or may not be true about what it involves. When you take that first small step you start the momentum and you gain valuable information along the way that will help keep you pointed in the direction of figuring out and fulfilling your dream.
2) I started to see fear as a good thing: The second epiphany that I had was that fear is not something to be avoided. Fear is actually a signpost.
Throughout my career, deep down I knew I wasn't happy in the corporate world but I was too scared to take a leap. Fear kept me stuck.
But I came to realize that rather than trying to avoid my fear (which honestly is impossible anyway), I could actually tap into it as a valuable source of wisdom. Really looking at & understanding your fear can provide you with tons of valuable information about whether or not you're heading in the right direction. (And by "right" I mean a direction that feels in alignment with who you are and what you want.)
There are different types of fear. If your fear is just total dread, you feel constricted & have a pit in your stomach or your shoulders are in knots, those are all strong signals that that this thing or situation you dread is out of alignment with who you are.
But if you feel fear & there is even just a little curiosity or excitement mixed in, that can actually be a sign that you're headed in the right direction. When something really means a lot to us that can feel scary.
So examine your fear. It could be the signpost that points you to your dreams.
3) I started focusing on the "what" instead of worrying about the "how:" When I worked with my own coach and was trying to figure out what kind of work I would really love, I was so caught up in trying to figure out HOW it would all work (how would I make enough money, how would I fit in school with my full time job and life with two kids under 2, etc) that she had me write "how" in big black capital letters on a piece of paper, put an X through it, and hang it on my bedroom mirror.
There is a time and place for worrying about the how. But if you, like me, use "how" as a way to shut yourself and your ideas down (with a long list of reasons why they will never work) then allow yourself to create a "how-free" zone. That might mean putting that sign on your bedroom mirror too. Or maybe you need to a commit to month or two of just letting yourself explore your ideas and dream before you worry about any of the how's.
Figuring out what you dream of doing is a precious process and one that needs some protecting. Trust me, once you figure out the what, you will find a way to make it happen. You will figure out the how. But when you start with how, you risk squelching your dream before it can even take shape.
Over to You
I'd love to know how these mindset shifts resonate with you and what happens if you practice employing them on your own journey towards figuring out and living your dreams.
And if you'd like more support around discovering your dream and putting it into action, I hope you'll join me and 9 other amazing coaches for a virtual retreat next weekend Nov 13-15. The Dream into Action retreat will help you define your dream, find your courage, figure out what matters most to you, and leave with a plan and the support to make your dream a reality. I'll be speaking on Friday about how to find your unique voice in the world.
The retreat will include inspiring talks, live coaching, break out sessions, and lots of tools that you can take with you – just like a live retreat but from the comfort of your home. Wearing your PJs is totally optional but encouraged.

What if Carl Crawford is 100%?
- Updated: July 18, 2012
Close your eyes, count to ten.. pretend you're in Tampa, Florida. It's warm and muggy, except not around you because you're in Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. You're really excited because you get to see a great and competitive baseball game. Now tell me what you think of when you hear these two words: Carl Crawford.
If this is the year 2010, it's simple. You hear Carl Crawford and say "one of the best in the game". If it's 2011, you might use "overrated", "over paid", "what a bum!", or even "OMFG!!! Why didn't they sign Jayson Werth?! He hits homers!".
Listen, Carl Crawford was absolutely terrible in 2011. Red Sox fans have a reason to be pissed and to be resentful about the signing. But I will remind you again, that decisions to sign free agent players are not based on results. They are based on the information you had at the time to make your decision. At the time the Red Sox signed Carl Crawford, there was plenty of information and reason to sign him. The dollar figure is huge, but that's the type of money you pay for a player who produces on both sides of the ball, particularly on offense.
People, Carl Crawford posted a 7.6 Wins Above Replacement figure in 2010. Do you know who was better than him in 2010? Fangraphs WAR states that only Josh Hamilton and Evan Longoria posted higher values in the 2010 season than Carl Crawford. Carl Crawford was more valuable than Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Jose Bautista, Robinson Cano, Miguel Cabrera, and Carlos Gonzalez in 2010. Yeah, he was THAT good.
Since then, things have been a big different. He dropped .157 points in OPS, played disgustingly bad defense and basically drove Red Sox fans nuts. But what other lesson can we be reminded in this case? The old scouting mottow: Once a player displays a skill, he owns it. Carl Crawford hasn't lost his skill. Inury took away his ability to utilize those skills.
I'm on record as saying that I think the Crawford signing was a good one. He doesn't put up the typical power numbers, but he's never been that player. Production is production, regardless of how you achieve it. A healthy Crawford and Ellsbury at the top of the lineup is an absolute nightmare for an opposing pitcher and Red Sox fans are soon going to have a change of heart.

I'm immersed in nursing research and nursing leaders this week, attending (in order and immediately following one another) meetings of the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS), the 25th anniversary concluding scientific symposium of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), and finally, the American Academy of Nursing.
Wednesday was CANS and its focus on comparative effectiveness research. After an opening keynote by Carolyn Clancy, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), who discussed the need to accelerate progress in improving U.S. health outcomes, a panel of nurses discussed different methodological considerations, from databases to competencies.
Research to help people make informed decisions. Especially interesting was a discussion of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the research entity which was mandated by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. According to Debra Barksdale, associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the only nurse appointed to the PCORI board of governors (there are 21 members, 13 of whom are physicians), it was created to provide research "to help people make informed health care decisions." PCORI seeks to do research that's important to patients and makes a point of soliciting public input and public reviewers of grants. (It's also hiring for several positions, and seeks nurses for reviewers and advisory boards.)
You can listen to my interview with Barksdale and with Robin Newhouse (it takes a moment to load), an associate professor and chair of organizational systems and adult health at the University of Maryland (and the only nurse on PCORI's Methodology Committee, which, according to this article in the New England Journal of Medicine, "is charged with defining rigorous, high-integrity standards and methods to strengthen the science underpinning patient-centered outcomes research."

As a Mom who is watching her children become interested in reading, I can say This is a great article! All of the real-life examples she gave are true in my household! And watching my oldest read and get excited about it . . . THAT was the very best pay-off! I love watching my babies read and they love to read TO me! When I would wash the dishes or cook dinner, they would set a chair in the kitchen and read to me. When I would hang laundry out to dry, they would bring a book and read out loud to me there as well. And I would get interested in their books too! They loved to see me want to know more about the story they were reading or know that we had read the same books! It's all very exciting!

India under fire for 'misleading' biosafety statements
[NEW DELHI] The Indian government has denied accusations that it has misled the international community over its biosafety commitments.
Suman Sahai, a geneticist and the convener of the Delhi-based nongovernmental organisation Gene Campaign, has attacked statements made by the government that it has established an efficient domestic regulatory framework for genetically modified organisms.
Sahai's claims followed remarks made by Indian representatives at an international meeting on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, held in Bonn, Germany, from May 12–16.
Signatories to the protocol agree to abide by global minimum standards on biosafety, intended to protect biological diversity from potential risks from genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The protocol sets out broad guidelines, while leaving countries to produce their own laws putting these guidelines into effect. Such laws can take into account the stage of the country's biotechnology industry and their policies on allowing GM foodstuffs into their country, for example.
Government officials said in Bonn that full risk assessments and environmental reviews had been carried out for all GM crops being tested in India.
But Sahai charges that there is no data in the public domain on allergy and toxicity tests carried out on genetically engineered crops, no environmental review of GM cotton, or an analysis of the socioeconomic impact of GM crops.
She also points out that the country does not have a law for compensating people for any damage caused by GM crops, a policy on the approval of GM crops for which India is one of the 'centres of origin', or a law on labelling genetically engineered foods.
An official from India's Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC), which operates under the ministry of environment and forests, denies the accusations, saying they are "unsubstantiated" and that some relate to issues still under international discussion.
The government is working towards meeting all its obligations under the protocol, adds the GEAC official, who told SciDev.Net that Sahai's charges do not apply to the current status of GM crops in India.
For example, the official points out that India only permits commercial cultivation of GM cotton, and has not yet approved commercial growing or importing of GM crops for food, animal feed, or processing.
The official says the government has submitted risk assessment data to GEAC on all food and non-food GM crops under trials — including risk assessments on crops whose centre of origin is in India — and customs officials at airports have detailed guidelines on restrictions on import of living modified organisms.
The official also says India is waiting for the final outcome of international discussions on fixing liability for damage by GM products, before enacting a national law.
But Sahai is unrepentant. She says that state and district level monitoring committees for genetically engineered products do not exist, and customs staff at airports are largely unaware of genetically engineered organisms.
Despite the government's reassurances, Sahai says, "The [Indian] government's regulatory framework is widely considered grossly inadequate and has been challenged by scientists, intellectuals and civil society organisations through public interest litigations in Indian courts."

I'd argue that apple has it easier. They are a single company, a niche on the market, and can provide one unified front for branding, marketing, talking points, etc. Where as the rest of the market is split up into many different factions and have a hard time (sans large changes to something like windows) to put on that unified front for the media when launching something.

Being an exchange of emails between Jim McPherson, the creator/writer of the Phantacea Mythos, and his brother, Rob McPherson, a particle physicist who maintains an office at TRIUMF (Tri-University Meson Facility, if you have to know), which is situated in the University of British Columbia Endowment Lands.
- Triumphant Dragon (Jim to Rob)
- Acronyms with an 'A' (Rob to Jim)
- 'Brus' or 'Bus' (Jim to Rob)
Dragon TRIUMF
Was seeing if 'Nuclear Dragons' googled up yet and look what I came across?
The second is the cover for an underground comic protesting uranium mining that came out of Saskatchewan (http://comixjoint.com/nucleardragonsattack.html) 2 years before the back cover of pH-6 came out (1980, though the attached Phantacea image is from later on).
You both might be familiar with the first one (http://dragon.triumf.ca/home.html).
And of course I had no idea either existed until I did the search.
Could be a future Serendipity and Phantacea entry here (http://www.phantacea.info/seren.htm#TheList).Jim McPherson
Bonus Points for starting acronyms with an 'A'
Physicists spend years coming up with cute acronyms for projects.
At TRIUMF alone there are particle detectors "DRAGON", "TITAN",
"TIGRESS" and "GRIFFIN" to name just a few. The CERN collaboration
that Isabel [Trigger, Rob's wife] and I work on, "ATLAS", was named following an internal contest.
ATLAS originally stood for "A Toroidal Lhc ApparatuS". Now our official
policy is that we're just "ATLAS" as a proper name with no associated acronym (since our acronym expansion is a bit silly).
Oh, you get bonus points if your collaboration/experiment/collaboration name starts with the letter "A" because things usually get listed alphabetically and it always helps with things like media coverage if you're first in the list.
I'm not actually aware of anyone coming up with a name/acronym for "AARDVARK" in physics yet, but I'm sure it's not for lack of effort.
Has a nice ring, doesn't it, "the Nuclear Aardvark" ?
Rob McPherson
Which came first – the '… Brus' or the '… Bus'
Interesting. And entertaining.
There is of course a comic book aardvark. Dave Sim, the fellow who drew the entirety of pH-1, named him Cerebus. Sim also drew the No Name/Defiance section in pH-2, which comes into play in the first quarter of the new novel.
That issue debuted my character [Cyborg] Cerebrus. Since I'd met Sim the summer of 1978 and asked him to consider drawing the Damnation Isle story that rounded up pH-2, I always reckoned he appropriated my character for his aardvark. Since I rarely saw him afterwards, I never did ask him which came first: the '…brus' or the '…bus'.
I could put this exchange on pHantaBlog as it is interesting but not sure how that would sit with either of you or the Feds. What do you think? (Got plenty of registrants for pHantaBlog – www.phantacea.com/blog/ – but not actually sure anyone reads it as rarely get more than spam in comments section.)
Still have a link to your CERN website (between-space, sort of) on the bibliography page: http://www.phantacea.info/biblio~1.htm#t-lynx.
Jim McPherson
The PHANTACEA Mythos
BTW, last I looked pH-1 and pH-2 are both still online, respectively here and here. Massive things, though, so you'll pardon me if I don't put them online myself. Might do a reprint one day, though.
As for the Ink Stains article they came from, that's here. I offered the writer, Ken Meyer Jr, an opportunity to read and review
"Phantacea Revisited #1: The Damnation Brigade" but never heard back from him. His loss, as far as I'm concerned.

Linux commands for beginners
Welcome to third part of linux commands tutorial. You will have now practiced and enjoyed linux commands which we discussed in last two articles. This is the last part of Linux command series. This does not mean we will not learn linux commands. We will be using new linux commands in our future articles.
As you guys know every moment happened in past make a history so, now we are going to start our class from command history.
history command is used to view the command line history.
Syntax history [option].
useful option are:
history –w file-name (save the history in text file),
history –c (clear the history).
There is lot of history in my command line that's why I am using tail command to view
just last 10 command history with tail -10 option
To save this history see screenshot. We are saving history to file historysave.txt
To clear history use history command with option(switch) -c
To view the currently running process use command ps.
ps stand for process status.
syntax ps [option] user-name.
useful options are:
ps –aux (view/show the all running system processes of given user),
ps –u user-name (view the current running process of given user).
Also please try ps -ef try yourself
If some process not running properly or there is any issue with process and we want to terminate that process we can use kill command to terminate the process. Normally it is used to kill a suspended or hanged process.
Syntax kill process-id.
to forcefully terminate a process) you can use kill -9 pid (process identification number)
[Note: you make sure that process is not related to system file it may be harmful for your system be aware with this command.]
Here I am going to kill firefox browser process which is highlighted in below image;
Ok what if you are going to run a job/task that will take time and in mean time you want to work or run another task . Well in that case append &(ampersand) to command. This will make job to run in background.
Alternatively if task is running press ctrl+z this will put job in background in suspended state.
Syntax service-name/Command & and ctrl+z.
You can use bg to execute suspended jobs in background but to view all jobs in background use command jobs
Ok so we have put job in background and later at some point you want to bring a background job to the foreground using fg command.
if you use fg command without arguments, it will take the most recent background job to the foreground.
Syntax fg
Now we want to set or check date and time we can use the date command.
Syntax date [option].
There are so many useful options you can find in below image; (Note: you must be on root to change the time and date).
If I want to search some string in a file(s) I can use command grep
This is Very powerful command to search/match pattern in file(s).
Syntax grep pattern file-name.
Useful options are grep –i (I option is used to ignore case sensitivity),
grep –color (highlight pattern)
Shutting down/power off system:
halt command which is used to shut down your system you can also use poweroff. If you want to restart your system then use reboot.
Syntax halt/poweroff/reboot.
I Hope you have enjoyed the tutorial please subscribe to our newsletter and it would be nice if you let us know your suggestions about article

There is no end to the craziness that you find in the world of luxury designs. Pillows especially seem to have caught the imagination of high-end designers. The result has been plenty of out of the box designs. It is not just playing around with shapes and patterns but completely transforming the homely pillow. In the world of high-end pillows we have spotted the alarm clock pillow and the floor mattress pillow. There have even been the occasional Bluetooth pillows. Yes, the designer pillow is not content blending into the bedspread anymore.
Taking high-end pillow designs up another notch are designers Todd von Bastiaans and Bryan McCarthy. They have come up with a pillow that pays homage to the ultimate breakfast – pancakes and butter! Breakfast has never been this cool.
The buttered pancake floor pillows by the designer duo are sure to add a whole new fun and quirky element to your bedroom décor. But really, I can see these floor pillows adoring the living room as well. That dull grey beanbag can finally be pushed away. The pancake pillows can brighten up any living space, become a conversation starter and encourage hours of lounging around.
Storing is easy. You can simply stack them up in a corner when not in use. Each pillow measures 36 inches in diameter and features 2-inch tempurpedic-type foam. But 4-inch versions are also available. Each pillow costs $600, but stacks of 2 or more are in for discounts of 10 percent. Being greedy for pancakes has its plusses.

It was a game of extremes. So extreme that Tulsa wide receiver Damaris Johnson broke the NCAA career all-purpose yards record with 7,796 yards; the record was previously held by Western Michigan's Brandon West, who finished with 7,764 yards.
Johnson tallied a career-high 326 all-purpose yards en route to MVP honors (98 yards rushing, 101 yards receiving, 109 yards from kick returns, 18 yards from punt returns, three total touchdowns).
"It hasn't really hit me yet. I'm just trying to enjoy this win right now," Johnson said with a smile. "Now we got this eight-hour flight home, and I'll be thinking about just getting a little sleep maybe, and it'll hit me in the morning about the record."
The game was so extreme that Hawaii committed six turnovers in the first half. Starting quarterback Bryant Moniz threw four interceptions, including one that got returned for a touchdown, backup Shane Austin threw a pick-six after Moniz left with a hip injury, and wide receiver Greg Salas fumbled a punt return.
"I think they just studied really hard in those four weeks that they had to prepare. They knew our routes; it seems like they were jumping everything we had," Moniz said.
The game was so extreme that in the second half, the Golden Hurricane had touchdown drives of 0:31, 0:50, 0:43, 2:27, and 3:31 while the Warriors had touchdown drives of 7:32, 1:10, and 1:36. Categorizing both offenses as quick-strike would be an understatement.
In the end, Moniz said, "We just weren't able to match their offensive output and missed a few here and there."
Head coach Greg McMackin added, "We came out at halftime and we talked about it. We were down by 13 points so really, we have them right where we want them as far as we just have to make up two touchdowns and we win the game. And we talked about that. Offense took it down and scored. Then we have the bad defensive effort, and I really think it was defensively."
The game was so extreme that the 12-point underdogs came into the home stadium of the Warriors and beat the favorites by 27 points. "We were picked as the lock to get beat," Tulsa head coach Todd Graham said.
"This football team did a great job preparing. I come down here and coach a bunch of guys, and I didn't even have a curfew. Guys are just responsible, got guys with great character, and they're truly champions on and off the field. Just a spectacular day."
For the Hawaii seniors who just played their last game, like co-MVP Greg Salas, the defeat is painful. "It's bittersweet. I like it here, I love the people here. I'll never forget the people I've met here," Salas said. "I'm going to be sad to go. You have to move forward in life, and this portion of my life is over now. I just thank all my teammates for making it a special season. Just wish we could've got this last one."
As for Moniz, he'll need some time to recover. "It's rough ending a game like this," he said. "It's a long offseason to think about your last game and how you'll be remembered."
Unfortunately, extremes are not easily forgotten.

Let's face it: commercially produced soaps aren't all that interesting. They'll clean you off, but they don't have much character, and usually they don't even feel that great on the body. Making soap at home is not as intimidating as it can seem—it's actually pretty simple, and people have been doing it for hundreds of years. You'll save money, and your bars of soaps will be all a little different, with lots of character.
Before you get started, it's helpful to understand what soap actually is— the byproduct of a simple chemical reaction, between oils and lye.
The wide range of different soaps made at home and commercially is produced by adding various ingredients in different measures to the reaction. As you get more comfortable with saponification (the process of making soap), you can play around with adding different herbs, spices, and flowers.
There are several ways to make soap: cold process, hot process, and melt and pour (the easiest way, this one's good to try with kids). Traditionally, lye (sodium hydroxide) was leached from ashes, and oils came from animal fat; today, you can find these products in most health and beauty stores, or on the internet.
Cold Process Soap Making
Cold process saponification involves combining lye and water with the oils or fats away from a heat source—you heat the two compounds separately, then turn off the heat and combine them when they're at the same temperature. Vigorous mixing encourages the chemical reaction (see the castile soap recipe below for more detailed instruction), and you end up with a thick textured mix, called trace, which needs to cool and set in a mold for at least a day.
Hot Process Soap Making
Hot process saponification, as you might have guessed, is facilitated by constant heat. You gently heat the oils in a large steel pot on the stove, then add lye water (very slowly, to avoid potentially burning yourself with the caustic) to the just-melted oils, while keeping the heat on. The trace stage here happens fast—heat's a handy chemical facilitator. Stirring the mix of oil and "curds" of soap is crucial, or else the resulting chemical compound is not going to be pretty. If you keep the heat too high and/or don't stir, you run the risk of burning the soap into the pot, ruining the pot and smelling up your kitchen most foully. After around twenty minutes of stirring over low heat, little bubbles will come to the surface; turn the heat off and let the pot cool for ten to fifteen minutes, until the bubbles stop rising to the surface. This slows the reaction down, a necessary pause. Reheat the pot and keep stirring until the real magic happens: the three separate layers of chemicals (essentially, water, lye, and oil) eventually unite into a more solid, gelatinous substance. A little more heat will evaporate excess water; too much heat here will dry the soap out. Then you add any essential oils or fragrances, and scoop the mass into a mold to cool. Unlike cold process soap, hot process soap is ready to cut and use as soon as it's cooled down; the settling step is not necessary. (Alternate method: use a crockpot instead of the stove top—this takes longer, but the resulting soap can be a little smoother in texture. We've got a crockpot hot process recipe later on in this article).
Melt and Pour Soap Making
If either of those processes sounds overwhelming, try a melt and pour recipe first. The melt and pour method takes a readymade base block of soap and melts it down to liquid form, so you can some fragrances/spices/flowers before resetting it. Base soap blocks can be found in most health and beauty stores, and on the internet; one pound of melt and pour soap will give you about three or four bars of soap, depending on the size of your mold. We've got a recipe for melt and pour soap at the end of this article.
Here's a simple recipe for cold process castile soap (castile refers to the Castile region of eastern Spain, where the soap was first made, in the 13th century).
- 20 oz of olive oil
- 5 oz coconut oil
- 8 oz cold water
- 3.3 oz of lye crystals
- (also caustic soda, look for it in the grocery store)
- 1 oz essential oil, for fragrance
Some purists prefer to make this soap with olive oil, as it was made originally; olive oil takes much longer to firm up, so we've adjusted by adding other oils. This recipe yields six bars of soap.
You'll also need a large jar or bucket for mixing, a strong plastic spoon, a sturdy plastic or glass container (for the mold), a six-inch cutting knife, a stainless steel pan, and two candy thermometers. We recommend using protective eyewear, a mask, and rubber gloves (lye is a caustic). If you've got your own soap mold, so much the better.
- Wearing your protective gear, pour the water into a big glass jar or plastic bucket. Slowly pour in the lye, stirring with the spoon until it's dissolved. The lye will heat the water; let this mix cool until the necessary temperature (see step 3).
- Combine the oils (excepting the essential oil) in the steel pan, and heat them gently over a low heat.
- Put one candy thermometer in the lye mix and one in the oils. When they both reach 110° f (43c), turn off the heat and slowly pour the lye into the oil. Never pour oil into lye: caustic soda crystals can splash out and burn your skin.
- Now it's time to stir the mixture, with either a stick blender, a strong spoon, or a whisk. Stick blenders are not a common household item, but they'll greatly reduce this part of the saponification process. By hand, you could be mixing for an hour until the soap thickens to the right consistency, a custardy texture—that's the trace.
- Once you've got a workable trace, add in the essential oil (and natural coloring, if you like).
- Pour the soap into the mold and smooth it with a spatula. Leave it to set for 24 hours in a warm place, preferably wrapped in a towel, until the soap hardens. You want it to cool gently, for a smoother texture.
- Once it's hardened, take the soap out of the mold and let the block air out for a day or so before cutting it with a sharp six-inch knife into bars. At this point, the soap could still be caustic; it's wise to wear gloves for the first 48 hours of the process. After that, it's ready to use.
Some folks like to roll their freshly cured, still malleable blocks of castile soap in lavender or calendula petals.
Ready for more..?
Here's another cold process recipe…
Cucumber soap
15 oz sunflower oil
30 oz coconut oil
35 oz olive oil
5 oz Shea butter
18 oz cucumber juice
19 oz water
14.1 oz lye
In a blender or juicer, grind up enough cucumber for 18 ounces of juice. Set this aside.
Go through the cold process, as described earlier, with the other ingredients. Once you've got a good trace, add in the cucumber juice; this will give the soap color and a light, fresh scent. Let the soap set and harden, cut it up, enjoy.
And one more…
Pumpkin spice soap
16 oz olive oil (53%)
8 oz coconut oil (27%)
3 oz sunflower oil (10%)
3 oz cocoa butter (10%)
4.19 oz lye
8 oz water
2 oz canned pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
20-30 drops of clove essential oil
Again, go through the cold process to the trace stage ("trace" refers to the texture here—you can trace a line through the mix and it will slowly fill in).
Add in the pumpkin here, stirring well.
Then transfer a third of the batter to a small plastic container; to this bit, add the vanilla and the essential oil.
Pour half of the just pumpkin batter into the mold, then pour in the vanilla spice layer, then the rest of the pumpkin. This soap likes to set for a solid two days (pumpkin's pretty mushy).
Basic hot process soap recipe, in the crockpot
26 oz olive oil
6 oz coconut oil
3 oz. castor oil
4.75 oz. lye
12 oz. water
1 oz fragrance oil—lemon, peppermint, almond, whatever you like
- Set the crockpot to high, add the coconut oil.
- Mix the water and lye in a separate container.
- When the coconut oil has melted, turn down the crockpot to low and add the other oils.
- Slowly pour in the lye water, stirring all the time. Keep stirring until you reach the trace stage, then let the mix continue heating for another 30-45 minutes, on low heat. You can do a tongue test to see if the lye is dissolved: if the trace feels like soap, put a tiny bit on your tongue. If you feel a zap, it's not ready. No zap means the lye is gone.
- Add in the fragrance oil, stirring well.
- Spoon the mixture into a soap mold (48 oz is a good size container for this project), let it cool.
- Cut into bars (this recipe yields about nine).
Melt and pour rose soap
- 4 oz melt and pour soap base
- 10 drops rose oil
- 1 drop of red food coloring (optional but pretty)
- Chop up the melt and pour base. In a double boiler, gently melt the chopped soap in water, without stirring. You can also melt the soap base in the microwave, in a heatproof bowl—heat it on full power for thirty seconds at a time, don't overheat it.
- Once the soap base is melted down, turn off the heat (if you used a double boiler) and stir in the rose essential oil and food coloring. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a mold, tapping lightly to release any trapped air that might bubble up the surface. A spray with rubbing alcohol also helps cut down on surface bubbles. If you don't like how the soap looks, or want to add more color or fragrance, just melt it down and try again.
- Let the soap cool until hard, cut it into bars.
- And lastly, we'll point to a few good lye calculators, which are excellent references for home soap making. You can enter in the amount and kind of oil you're using, and the calculators will supply the correct ratio of lye, and adjust for water weight. Visit HERE or HERE.

Andy and I donned our high heels, suspenders and bras, and headed off to Brigham to fill Andy's new woodstore. Andy had arranged to borrow a pick-up and we filled it 3 times….. of course, on the way back to Hesket Newmarket we became typical "white-van men"… I hooted every slow old driver and Andy leered and whistled at all the girls. A good day all round!!

Waterford Crystal RepairApril 17th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Chipped Glass Repair, Waterford Crystal Repair
This beautiful, large, Waterford glass vase has been damaged at the base. My first step was to rough grind the chip out. After a grinding and thorough polish, the chip repair is complete. All that's needed now is a bouquet of roses. Bruening Glass Works is recommended by Waterford Crystal to restore damaged crystal to it's original beauty.

The Poem
(Critical Guide to Poetry for Students)
The title Sun Stone refers to the massive calendar stone of the ancient Aztecs. The well-known Aztec calendar measured the synodical period of the planet Venus (the period from one conjunction of the planet Venus with the sun to another). For the ancient Mexicans, Venus was one of the manifestations of the god Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent. The calendar begins, as the poem does, at day 4, Olín (movement), and ends 584 days (and exactly 584 lines) later at day 4, Ehécatl (wind), the conjunction of Venus and the sun: the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Each of the poem's 584 lines is composed of eleven syllables (hendecasyllables).
Since the Aztec calendar cycle of fifty-two years always begins with acatl, the year of the east, it indicates not only the beginning of the world but also the birth of the sun and the dominance of Quetzalcoatl, who, after he is sacrificed, appears in the east as the morning star. The symbol of the east, then, is one of rebirth and resurrection. The opening (and closing) six lines set the poem's tone by describing the world of nature and its rhythms (life and death, day and night). Into this harmonious world, man, the poem's speaker, and history intrude in the fourth stanza.
Stanzas 4 through 9 are a hymn of praise to the speaker's beloved, in which the woman's physical attributes are described in abstract terms. She is ultimately likened to a rain goddess ("all night you rain, all day/ you open my chest with your fingers of water"). In the concluding stanza of this first hymn, the speaker wanders through the corporeal geography to which he has ascended from his abstractions and returns to the first landscape. Youth, growth, beginnings, dawn, vegetation, and water are all clearly attributes of the east echoed in the poem's opening.
With the stanza beginning at line 67, there is a transition that continues to praise the beloved's body and a parallel continuation of nature imagery. Now, for the first time, nature becomes ominous ("a mountain path/ that ends in an abrupt abyss"). The speaker's shadow, his identity, is shattered, and he tries in vain to recover the fragments.
The next two stanzas focus upon the total disintegration of the speaker's personality. Everything that he sees and touches, everything that he is, evaporates, as does time. In his despair, he declares: "I tread my shadow in search of a moment."
In lines 98 and 99, the speaker continues his search, but with less loneliness and fear. A group of girls is shown leaving school, coming out of "its pink womb," an image suggesting birth. One temporarily unnamed girl is at the center of a litany in the lengthy stanza that follows (lines 109-141). More than representing an individual, however, she becomes a composite of all women.
As the east was the dominant spirit of the introductory section of the poem, the western point of Aztec cosmology is invoked here. The west, known as Cuiatlampa, was the place of women and residence of the goddesses and demigoddesses, including the goddess of childbirth....
(The entire section is 1284 words.)

The following is a post and pictures shared by Preschool teacher, Ms. Sterling, on their classroom blog. Their Unit of Inquiry focuses on understanding the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), how to minimize waste, and how to share their learning with the rest of the school.
Our efforts to creatively reuse materials led us to new frontiers in the library. Prior to Thanksgiving, our school Librarian, Mrs. Tabb, read a story about a cardboard box that was recycled into the very book we were reading! She suggested we consider making our own book, reusing (rather than recycling) materials from around campus. Hmmm, we could do that!
To support our efforts, Mrs. Tabb gathered leftover cardboard pieces for the book cover and trimmed used library posters into pages. The Preschool team went to work this week to write and illustrate a story we titled Taking Care of Our Planet. The story was written during a recent morning circle as the team responded to questions about concepts we'd been learning in this Unit of Inquiry. During free play, our artists-in-residence created the illustrations. In a cooperative team effort, we then constructed the book with Mrs. Tabb during Monday afternoon's library time. Today we put finishing touches on the back cover – signing names and adding important details about all the authors.
Not only did we find a way to share our knowledge and accomplish our goal to reuse materials in a creative way, the team was educated on book parts and purposes. They also learned all sorts of book related vocabulary in the process. The kids were thrilled to learn they were authors and illustrators. I think they were equally delighted, if not slightly challenged, to decide on two facts about themselves to include in the author information on the back cover. Our creation will be on display during Friday's Open House. Come ready to read!

For most ex-offenders, it's tough to begin to build a work resume if its overshadowed by a prison or jail record. That is, unless they can get someone to put in a good word for them.
For some of them, that good word has come from Operation New Hope.
Through its Ready4Work program, the organization, which is based in Historic Springfield, helps about 200 non-violent ex-offenders find their way back into society.
It does this by providing mentors, case managers and job training.
But most of all, once the ex-offenders have gone through the program, the organization doesn't just leave them to weather the rejection that usually comes when an employer weighs their record more than their attempts to put it behind them.
It steps in and acts as a voice for them. And lately, with the economy in high gear, doing that hasn't been too tough, said Kevin Gay, president of New Hope.
"Some employers have asked: 'How do we tap into this felon market?' " Gay told me. "There's a real strong demand out there for workers, and it's really all about supply and demand.
"We've been successful in getting them [employers] to understand the importance of re-entry, and we've been able to show that if they're given an opportunity and jobs, they'll work.
"What folks are beginning to understand is that it no longer makes sense to just deal with them by throwing the baby out with the bath water."
Unfortunately though, as that understanding is beginning to catch on, the funding to make it work for more felons is drying up.
The money that Ready4Work uses to help ex-offenders who are coming out of the county jail system here is running out, Gay said. While it will receive around $500,000 from the state and expects to get more from federal sources, that money can be used only to help the 1,800 or so inmates who are leaving the state prison system.
That's a problem, Gay said - because each year more than 55,000 inmates are released from the local jail system. And they need help, too.
"Last year the mayor [John Peyton] found $150,000 to keep the doors open [to help local felons]," Gay said. "We were supposed to help only 40 of them, but we wound up helping 75.
"But the way it's looking now, we're going to have to close the door on the county people because we don't have the money."
Of the ex-offenders who go through the Ready4Work program, only 5 percent wind up being locked up again, Gay said. For more information on Ready4Work, call 354-4673.
"This [55,000 being released each year] is a staggering number," Gay said. "Many of this population have been there before and have faced the same challenge ... They have a slim chance of being hired ...
"Our numbers show that this population is being hired once we can advocate on their behalf. However, this only comes after we have had the chance to check them out and get our collective hands around them."
Even in this tight budget year, helping ex-offenders get another shot at society by way of a good word from Operation New Hope's Ready4Work program ought to be a priority. It's a lot more expensive if they become drags on society.
Or worse, scourges of it.

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Energy Balls only require 5 ingredients and come together so quickly. These balls are full of peanuts, chocolate, and dates for a perfectly sweet and filling afternoon snack!
So these may be the best snack I have posted on the blog so far.
Wait, scratch that… these are the best snack I have posted on the blog so far. And that is not to mean the other snacks I have posted thus far are not good (they are goooooood), but oh man, these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Energy Balls are just so dang good. They were a good practice of eating in moderation in the days after I made them.
But first, can we just talk about my latest obsession besides energy balls?
Okay, so I go through phases where I listen to podcasts every day for like a week and then I stop and don't listen to one for months. But lately I have been all about the podcasts. They are perfect to listen to while I am blogging (yup, I am listening to one right now), while I am getting ready for the day, or even when I am lesson planning (I feel like that is all I do these days). They are great to have on in the background and even if I don't pay full attention to them while I have them on, they are great to have on just to have some background noise.
But for the most part I do pay attention to them and always leave each one with advice, tips, or an interesting story to share. Are you a podcast fan too?
Some of my favorite podcasts: Runner's Connect, Blissful Bites with Nicole Culver, Balanced Bites, This American Life, and The Rich Roll Podcast. There is probably a million more out there that I would love, so if you are into a podcast, certainly leave it in the comments below.
I feel like it is the golden hour of podcasts right now, I feel like everyone I talk to is talking about what podcasts they are listening to, even if it Serial (still never finished season 1…). It is funny for me that I am going into social studies education, yet none of the podcasts I listen to regularly have much to do with social studies or education (This American Life does a bit I guess). Maybe I should look into some history podcasts? Though, I love listening to podcasts related to health and fitness since it is a passion of mine, but something I am not studying in school, so it is something I listen to out of pure enjoyment. I feel like I would probably get bored with a history podcast since I would feel like I am in class.
I guess that is why I love spending my free time reading health and fitness related books or articles and listening to health and fitness podcasts. I freely choose to research more about health and fitness, rather than tying it to a specific assignment I am working on. It is kinda cool to have two passions that are pretty different from each other. I spend my days in the history books and spend my evenings in the world (and podcasts) of health and fitness.
Okay, now back to my other obsession — these Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls that are da bomb. I am not even kidding. They are a healthy snack that could easily be mistaken for a dessert.
Essentially they are a homemade DIY version of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Larabar, buttttt I was too lazy to make them into bars, so I rolled them into balls. Because who doesn't love balls?
- 1 cup Unsalted Peanuts
- 1 cup Dates
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- ⅛ tsp Vanilla Extract
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Optional: If dates are hard, soak in ⅓ cup of warm water for 10 minutes, then drain to soften.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse for about 1 minute, or until mixture sticks together well and everything is chopped up.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking pan (for easy clean up) and roll mixture into 12 balls and place on pan.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to harden.
This is the food processor I used, it works PERFECT!!
I used these Enjoy Life Mega Chunk Chocolates to make them dairy free.
Pin for later
What are your favorite podcasts to listen to?
Do you have more than 1 passion?
Linking up with Foodie Friday!

CCMC277-Best of Snow
I've only purchased a couple of the "Best of" series of stamps this year, mainly because I already had a lot of the images. However, the Best of Halloween and Best of Snow sets have been too fun to pass up! I love Frosty and especially like that he is smaller in this version. AND, did you know that the snowflake in Best of Snow also works with the Framelits! SCORE!!!
We have a FUN sketch for you to try this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! I love the variety the Challenge Team came up with…make sure to check them out on Create with Connie and Mary!
And here is my interpretation. I went with a regular sized card, instead of the square that is shown.
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 of Coastal Cabana (wow…I've used a TON of this color this year!)
- I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
- I cut a 1 1/2 x 5 and 3/4 x 5 strip of Winter Frost Designer Paper for the layers in the background and adhered them to the Whisper White.
- I cut a 3/4 x 4 strip of Coastal Cabana and stamped "Happy Christmas" from More Merry Messages with Black Stazon on it.
- I stamped the Frosty snowman from Best of Snow with Black Stazon on Whisper White, then colored with my Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Real Red and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers. I added some Dazzling Details on the snowman and let him dry.
- I punched him out with the 1 3/4" Circle, then layered on the Island Indigo Window Frame Framelit. I pierced around the Framelit with the piercing too and placed on the top with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I added a Frosted Finishes Embellishment on top with a Mini Glue Dot!
He's SOOOO cute! Love it! Again, make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
We are in the middle of Week 4 over on Create with Connie and Mary Winter Collection 2013! This week we are showing off some FABULOUS Last Minute Gift Ideas for the holidays!

The more popular the SSL brand, the more people know it and trust it.
The added trust comes from key indicators that are displayed on a trusted website through a user's web browser.
