Angiogenesis Laboratory
Angiogenesis is a key
process in cancer. It is therefore a target in the development of novel
anti-cancer therapies. The Angiogenesis Laboratory Amsterdam seeks to
unravel the fundamental
processes and mechanisms underlying angiogenesis and vascular
development. The major aim is to use new knowledge and technology for
the development of new treatment modalities in the clinic.

Draft Management Plan Available for Public Comment
December 6th, 2017
Rush Ranch
We like to say that Rush Ranch is locally loved and nationally famous. Local people love the Ranch for the great bird and wildlife watching, scenic hiking trails, and rich human history. Nationally, Rush Ranch is famous for the tidal brackish marsh at the heart of the property. Rush Ranch's marsh is a rare and special remnant of a once vast habitat that gives scientists, and the casual visitor, an opportunity to learn more about California's natural history.
From Interstate 80 in Solano County, take the CA 12 East Exit. Drive about 4 miles on Highway 12, then turn right onto Grizzly Island Road. Follow Grizzly Island Road 2.5 miles south then turn right on to the gravel driveway. There is a large sign that says "Rush Ranch".
Featured Hike
There are three hiking trails at Rush Ranch: the Marsh Trail and South Pasture Trail leave from the Nature Center and the Suisun Hill Trail leaves across from the main entry gate. All three trails have their perks (and their fans), but we recommend hiking a small portion of the Marsh Trail. (We are marsh scientists, after all!) After checking out the map and exhibits at the Nature Center, pick up the trail as it enters the Eucalyptus grove just past the Syar arena. Follow the trail towards the Marsh Overlook Hill, hike up the small hill for a spectacular view of Suisun Marsh. After resting on the strategically placed benches, follow the small trail that winds down the hillside towards the replica of a Patwin Hut. Stay right after exploring the hut to make a loop around the base of the hill and back towards the Nature Center. Be sure to pause near the edge of the marsh to listen for birds singing and maybe, if you are really lucky, catch a glimpse of a river otter. This hike is relatively flat and about 1 mile long.

I have been mildly aware of Eastern European folk tales and fairy tales since I was young, as I read just about every book I could find on mythologies from all over the world (I love variations on the Baba Yaga story, for example). The tales referenced in Vodník by Bryce Moore are new to me, however, so it was fun to see a new set of myths in action.
Tomas was born in Slovakia but moved to the States with his family when he was six after he got burned and was nearly drowned. After he had lived in the States for around ten years, his house was destroyed by fire, and his parents decided they needed to move back to Slovakia. Tomas was not thrilled by the prospect.
After they move to Trenčín, in northwest Slovakia, Tomas meets Katka and her father Ľuboš, relatives who knew him when he was younger. He hits it off immediately with Katka and gets a job at the castle as a native English speaking tour guide.
Things get strange when he meets a fire víla (a kind of fire spirit), as well as a water spirit named Lesana who is working for a water demon called a vodník. He also meets Morena (known to most as Death) and makes a deal with her to provide a soul to replace Katka's, due to Katka's imminent death. Most of the book is about his efforts (and Katka's, once Tomas tells her about everything) to save Katka.
The story was very interesting, and the pacing was generally quite smooth and consistent. A decent portion of the prose was spent on Tomas dealing with the prejudices against the Roma (or Gypsies), but Moore does it in a way which works within the story, so I never felt like it was preaching. The characters also did a good job of resolving the issues in a realistic manner.
My only complaint was Tomas' mother, as she felt very inflexible and two-dimensional throughout most of the story. I could tell that Moore was trying to make her very willful and scared of discussing the issues surrounding Tomas and her family, but she never really seemed to grow much in the story (except very abruptly at the end). That is minor, though, as she doesn't play a significant part in the story until right at the end.
One thing I especially enjoyed (and for which I won't give spoilers) is how one of the plot threads was resolved without the entire story being told. This thread actually surprised me a little bit, as the story never really hinted that it would resolve this way. I think it worked out well, however, because going into that plot thread more than the author did would have weakened the tightness of the story. It left an opening for a possible sequel, too.
Vodník is written for young adults and therefore includes a "young adult style" in the way the prose is written, likely because it was written in first person perspective from Tomas' point of view. It is a strong story, appropriate for any age, with interesting characters and an interesting setting. I recommend Vodník as a great read.

Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:15:00 +0000FOREX — the foreign exchange market or currency market or Forex is the market where one currency is traded for another. It is one of the largest markets in the world.Some of the participants in this market are simply seeking to exchange a foreign currency for their own, like multinational corporations which must pay wages and other expenses in different nations than they sell products in. However, a large part of the market is made up of currency traders, who speculate on movements in exchange rates, much like others would speculate on movements of stock prices. Currency traders try to take advantage of even small fluctuations in exchange rates.In the foreign exchange market there is little or no 'inside information'. Exchange rate fluctuations are usually caused by actual monetary flows as well as anticipations on global macroeconomic conditions. Significant news is released publicly so, at least in theory, everyone in the world receives the same news at the same time.Currencies are traded against one another. Each pair of currencies thus constitutes an individual product and is traditionally noted XXX/YYY, where YYY is the ISO 4217 international three-letter code of the currency into which the price of one unit of XXX currency is expressed. For instance, EUR/USD is the price of the euro expressed in US dollars, as in 1 euro = 1.2045 dollar.Unlike stocks and futures exchange, foreign exchange is indeed an interbank, over-the-counter (OTC) market which means there is no single universal exchange for specific currency pair. The foreign exchange market operates 24 hours per day throughout the week between individuals with Forex brokers, brokers with banks, and banks with banks. If the European session is ended the Asian session or US session will start, so all world currencies can be continually in trade. Traders can react to news when it breaks, rather than waiting for the market to open, as is the case with most other markets.Average daily international foreign exchange trading volume was $4.0 trillion in April 2010 according to the BIS triennial report.Like any market there is a bid/offer spread (difference between buying price and selling price). On major currency crosses, the difference between the price at which a market maker will sell ("ask", or "offer") to a wholesale customer and the price at which the same market-maker will buy ("bid") from the same wholesale customer is minimal, usually only 1 or 2 pips. In the EUR/USD price of 1.4238 a pip would be the '8' at the end. So the bid/ask quote of EUR/USD might be 1.4238/1.4239.This, of course, does not apply to retail customers. Most individual currency speculators will trade using a broker which will typically have a spread marked up to say 3-20 pips (so in our example 1.4237/1.4239 or 1.423/1.425). The broker will give their clients often huge amounts of margin, thereby facilitating clients spending more money on the bid/ask spread. The brokers are not regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (since they do not sell securities), so they are not bound by the same margin limits as stock brokerages. They do not typically charge margin interest, however since currency trades must be settled in 2 days, they will "resettle" open positions (again collecting the bid/ask spread).[...]
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:13:00 +0000Is this the end of the tunnel? Rabobank's team asked in a recent report about the European thing. And after a month in which the ECB and Fed announced radical policy initiatives, this is the question the whole market has in mind. The Euro area continues to be a region where politicians need tons of pressure to get things done and certainly, the next quarter ought to show us some insights about the resolution of the Eurozone saga.According to market experts and big banks, the 2012 final quarter will be dominated by four themes: the Eurozone drama, the US elections, the fiscal cliff and the growth across the advanced economies."Signs of global economic slowdown are visible in all major economies around the world and things will probably get worse before they get better," affirms Ilian Yotov from Allthingsforex.com. "With that said, one can argue that the U.S. economy is doing better than its euro-area counterpart."Let's see. After ECB's president Mario Dragui put the ball on the politicians court again, all eyes turned back on Spain. On September 27 the Kingdom of Spain's government presented its draft budget for 2013 with a package of spending cuts and tax increases.Eurozone: The Spanish thingWith public spending to be cut by 58% in 2013 and social spending representing 63.5% of budget, the government maintains that it will meet its budget targets: 6.3% deficit for 2012 and 4.5% for 2013. The black hole is that GDP is projected to decline 1.8% for this year and to contract 0.5% for next year. It seems that the Spanish government is going too optimistic taken the IMF and big banks worst GDP expectations and recent spending overruns."The Spanish government seems to be banking on the idea that it can pre-empt conditionality under a precautionary programme (Enhanced Conditions Credit Line)," Rabobank's analyst Elwin de Groot comments. "However, both the domestic and external (Germany) political situation is getting more complex by the day, suggesting that market pressure will still be needed to tip the balance in favour of a formal request." And as Adam Narczewski from XTB well said, "everybody is waiting for Madrid."The problem with the Eurozone is that with an monetary union that has been built with a Central Bank with not real powers and unwilling to act as a true lender of last resort, and not fiscal and political union. The market is "constantly focused on the weakest link, rather than looking at the average strength across the region," as points Rabobank's team.Spanish government repeats constantly that the Spain and the Eurozone fundamentals are sound but market doesn't really pay attention on this too much, because they don't have confidence on the euro area, even on the countries itself, institutions. The past October 2nd China Investment Corp Chairman Jin says that "it's unrealistic to expect China to invest in bonds issued by heavily indebted European countries until fundamental problems are resolved." And it makes sense at all.And the Spanish policy makers don't help the situation. News reporting Rajoy squandering money and Luis de Guindos providing dark answers to key questions are dampening consumer sentiment. As sample, when asked on Thursday why the taxpayers have made such a big adjustment vs the public sector? De Guindos just said "I prefer to look forward, not back".The effect? Congress was surrounded past week by people claiming against budget cuts and the politicians squander money at the same time. And Artur Mas, Catalonia president, announced early elections in the region as soon as November 25. A date that will be marked with independence tone following the recent demonstrations early this month. Will be Catalonia a the new euro state? Mass medias across the world are expectant.At least the bond auction held by the Spanish treasury, the country managed to sell 3.992 worth of 2014, 2015 and 2017 government bonds, at the top end of the targeted demand. 3- and 5-year yields fell in comparison with what the country had to pay at the previous auction.[...]
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:07:00 +0000Merkel to visit Greece next week; Rumors of imminent Spanish bailout deniedThe trading week, dominated by contradictory reports concerning the Spanish bailout, ends with European markets in the green, after the sentiment was boosted on Thursday by ECB's announcement that its bond-buying program could be activated whenever needed. Following the release of the solid US NFP data for September EUR/USD broke above the 1.3030 level.Samaras and Merkel to meet in Athens next Tuesday German Chancellor Angela Merkel will travel to Greece on October 9 to hold talks with PM Anotnis Samaras. This is the first time since the onset of the crisis that the German leader will visit Athens. Greek labor unions are planning a rally outside the parliament on Tuesday to demonstrate their opposition towards the visitEarlier on Friday Samaras warned that Greece was running out of funds and that it was crucial for the country to receive the next tranche of the bailout money before the end of November, in order to prevent it from defaulting on its debts. On Saturday the Greek government will meet with Troika inspectors for the last time before the October 8 EcoFin meeting, in an attempt to reach an agreement on the remaining 2 billion euros of austerity measures."The troika is demanding above all further cuts to pensions and wages. That is very difficult, because we are already bleeding," Samaras said in an interview for the German daily Handelsblatt. "The existing cuts already go to the bone. We are at the limit of what we can expect of our population."Eurogroup considers Spanish bailout unnecessaryA EU official told reporters on Friday that Spanish banks would not be recapitalized through the ESM this year and that the exact timing of the procedure was not known yet. He added that the Eurogroup also did not see the need for a complete Spanish bailout such as those granted to Greece, Ireland or Portugal.The official said that the results of the latest Spanish debt auctions were satisfactory and that the situation on the financial markets improved considerably over the last six months. Eurozone finance ministers, who will hold a meeting on October 8, will discuss the situation in Spain, but they do not expect that Mariano Rajoy's government will ask for the activation of the ESM.These declarations further contradict rumors of an imminent request for a Spanish bailout, which have been circulating in recent days. On Tuesday Mariano Rajoy said that such a request would not be made in the nearest future while on Thursday night Finance Minister Luis de Guindos denied that Spain needs a bailout at all.Spanish FinMin denies that Spain needs a bailoutDuring a lecture at the London School of Economics Spanish Finance Minister Luis de Guindos told the audience that Spain does not need a bailout, despite the increasing rumors that the country might officially ask for aid as soon as this weekend. He said that what the country really needs is ECB's intervention on the secondary market of government bonds under certain conditions.Referring to the harsh austerity measures, introduced recently by the Spanish government and triggering violent protests in Madrid Luis de Guindos assured that "what we are doing is what we think is the correct thing not only for Spain but for the future of the Eurozone."During Luis de Guindos's speech a group of young Spaniards protested by displaying placards with the inscription "Spain for Sale."[...]

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:31:00 +0000You will learn in this tutorial how to apply fundamental analysis to your trading style, this is what some call it "institutional Forex trading system." You learn the fundamentals of the economy that affect the overall global market. So-called fundamental analysis.There is a big debate among traders who use technical analysis only and traders who use fundamental analysis only. For me, this just an academic topic. If there is information you need close monitoring. Do not just rely on fundamental analysis or technical, use Monday. When you have a strong technical pattern powered with the basics, the probability to be true is inevitable.When it appears both the fundamental and technical analysis different directions, you have to be careful. Do not operate happiness with Forex trading, wait and watch, The Forex market is not suitable for Dreamers, you use scientific analysis to maximize the probability that the correct perception of what you can get from the market. Then analyzed deeply, and the fact that a strong technical pattern, know basic support for your analysis, you will have a good deliberative decision. Take risk tolerance, and you will be successful.There is a central bank in each country is responsible for the benefit of its economy. The central bank monitors some of the key factors that affect the economy, and to adjust their economic policies according to these factors.Are advertised these factors constantly in fundamental analysis of currencies, and know the exact time of the announcement in advance. Consider such factors as the key indicators of the economy. Most central banks are: Feds, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England. There are many key indicators, but few have called him "the engines market." Called this title because it is when they are advertised, they provide adequate support to move the markets, and because a significant impact on the economy and on the positions traders.The most important is what you need to know about fundamental analysis is the market outlook for the index. Offers some analysts a number of potential indicators that will be announced. Such order effect on the markets and traders take their positions based on them. When index is announced, it will affect the market only when it is very different from what the market had expected. The reason is that all the factors available to the public have been put into consideration. When advertising for new information have an impact on the market only when they are different than expected.Place the Forex strategy, know in advance what is fundamental indicators and analyzes important that will be announced next week in fundamental analysis of currencies. Learn about the expected figure that was available, and try to predict what will happen if this figure will appear better or worse than expected. It may be difficult at first, but it becomes easier with learning.There are a lot of fundamental analysis (indicators), indicators of America the greatest influence on the market, and EU indicators less impact, except in the case where a significant difference from what is expected. Continued central bankers when they talk and give some evidence for inflation and interest rates, as these two are the main drivers of today's economy. When issued words such as "alert" or "very vigilant" about inflation from a central bank governors, will have a significant impact on the currency.When inflation rises, the central banks are trying to reduce by raising interest rates, and when the interest rate rises, currency support. Learn what are the economic indicators that reflect inflation and the central bank's decisions on interest[...]

Clothes that keep up
Nonetheless Garments
Nonetheless Garments is a new Chicago clothing brand dedicated to creating stylish menswear that can also withstand the fluctuating weather conditions of commuting. The magic all starts with using advanced materials like Polartec NeoShell, which has twice the airflow of comparable waterproof materials, without looking like it was shorn from a Paratrooper. Like any good clothier, though, Nonetheless also understands the critical importance of fit, particularly when it applies to consumers who aren't just idling behind a desk.
Standouts like their Neoshell Weatherproof Pant ($260) or Dispatch Rider Pant ($195) are indicative of this focus. They're both cut slim, yet provide extra room in the thigh area for comfort on the move. The Weatherproof variety features 5 deeper bag pockets that provide plenty of safe on leg storage, so cyclers can put those worries of super manning their iPhone to rest. The Dispatch takes things a step further with hidden zip ventilation storage pockets on both sides of the outer thigh that feature Polartec Power Dry fabric pocket bags for increase breathability and wicking. An exclusive "Gull Wing Gusseted" crotch allows for greater freedom of movement and a Purpose Aggressive Gripper waistband eliminates slippage without emitting the casual impressions of drawstrings or elastic.
While we've spotlighted the pants, this kind of prepare-for-the-trenches attitude pervades all of Nonetheless's offerings, which includes shirts, bags, jackets, and cold weather accessories. Even more importantly though is how dedicated the company is to sustainability and supporting fair labor. All of their garments are made in Chicago, and all items are designed with minimizing the brand's ecological footprint in mind. Yes, they're clothes are more expensive than their off the rack counterparts, but in Nonetheless's case as with similar brands like Aether and Outlier, there's no question that buyers get what they pay for.

My Barbarian wanted to take Miami on a boat ride. "We wanted to interact and be out in the public," Alex Segade reveals over the phone from Los Angeles, where he just got out of rehearsal for My Barbarian's first Miami show, coming up this Saturday at the Miami Light Project, as part of Miami-Dade College's Museum of Art and Design's "Living Together" performance series this season. ..

Getting into a true holiday spirit can be tough in South Florida, where palm trees, expansive beaches and balmy skies signal perpetual summer.

It was only a few decades ago that finding a professional, locally produced performance was an aerobic dance in itself. But after the Miami City Ballet (established 1985), the New World School of the Arts (1987), and the New World Symphony (1988) planted their feet, Miami developed a serious grounding for dance and music. Daniel Lewis, founding dean of dance of New World School of the Arts, then created the Miami Dance Sampler, in an effort to bring companies together to provide a space for them to meet each other and build an audience.
Over time the annual event was renamed the Daniel Lewis Dance Sampler, but its goal remained the same. The Sampler returns this Saturday. "It's meant to be a showcase of established professional companies," says Hannah Baumgarten, co-artistic director of Dance Now! Miami, which has been presenting the Sampler for the last seven years. "The event is a season preview."
This year the Sampler is presenting 11 companies, from the longest established company in Miami, Momentum Dance Company, to the newest, Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami. Momentum performed in the first Sampler with artistic director Delma Iles performing in the program -- this year, the company is presenting its powerful, contemporary "Dido."Dimensions Dance, founded by former Miami City Ballet principal dancers Carlos Guerra and Jennifer Kronenberg, is performing excerpts from "Fiebre" (Fever, 1995),with choreography by the late Venezuelan master Vicente Nebrada.
Momentum and Dimensions Dance illustrate the face ofMiami today, where established companies continue to grow and new companies continue to sprout. "Our community, and the culture in Miami, is so strong," explains Baumgarten.
"More people are doing dance here," says Lewis. "Miami is ahead of New York City in terms of creativity. New York has become very expensive -- it's hard to have a company in New York; in Miami you can afford to experiment."
The 11companies performing offer an opportunity to see some of the best troupes working in the city. And it delivers up plenty of diversity – the line-up includes Atma Yogadance, the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, mixed-ability dance company Karen Peterson and New World School of the Arts Dance Ensemble.
For the first time, the Sampler includes a classical Indian dance company, the Association of Performing Arts of India. They are presenting a world premiere titled "Varnam,"choreographed by Radha Kotamraju and Reneeta Basu.
Dance Now! Miami closes the program with "Winter's Breath" (2014), and the timely and highly poignant "Bridges Not Walls" (excerpt, 2017). "We, as a community, are producing and functioning much more like the international cultural metropolitan city." comments Baumgarten. Now, the problem is not in finding a professional dance performance but in choosing one – a problem Miami audiences are fortunate to have.

An earlier version of this story was incorrect about the source of a plan to virtually end local courts' reserve funds next fiscal year. The plan was devised by Gov. Jerry Brown's office and approved by the Legislature.
Recession era-funding has forced San Bernardino and Riverside county courts to shut courtrooms and drop hundreds of full-time jobs over the past four years, even as the gap widened between the number of judges and the soaring Inland population.
This fiscal year brought a small increase in money when Sacramento, after years of cuts, restored $60 million to the statewide court funds, and a new formulation was used for how that money is divided that is more favorable to Inland counties. But the amount is not enough to reverse cuts in personnel and services that will continue for the coming fiscal year, court executives in both counties said.
Under a fiscal plan from Gov. Jerry Brown approved last year by the Legislature, local courts next year will see the end to virtually all their reserve funds, which will be incorporated into statewide court funding. For courts such as San Bernardino County, which has $17 million in reserves, "That means we have one year to become more efficient," said Stephen Nash, court executive officer.
In the past year alone, San Bernardino County Superior Court has closed courts in Twin Peaks, Big Bear and Needles. The courthouse in Barstow was scheduled for shutdown, but emergency funds kept one courtroom open three days a week. Riverside County Superior Court recently reduced services at its Temecula court and dropped operating days at the Blythe court from five weekdays to three.
Riverside County on July 19 changed its traffic-court clerk availability. No longer can people casually walk up to waiting clerks at a traffic–ticket window. In-person meetings with clerks are now by appointment only, and there are no live telephone operators available for traffic cases. The 15-minute clerk appointments are made online, either from home or computers available in courthouse lobbies.
Almost all traffic ticket matters other than trial can be handled by visiting the court's website or at kiosk locations, said Sherri Carter, court executive officer.
"We are under a new reality," Carter said. "We are encouraging people to do as much from home as we can."
She said the reduction in court staff — about 230 full-time positions dropped since 2008, when the court had 1,256 full-time positions — is one factor driving the paring of services. More cuts in staff positions are projected for this year.
Fourteen court reporters were let go this year. The reporters, who type the transcript record of proceedings on stenotype machines, now have a primary courtroom assignment but will be available for other courtrooms through a pool. They previously were assigned only to one courtroom, Carter explained.
"It has been painful. It involved a lot of people," Carter said. "We are absolutely at bare bones."
A spokesman for the union representing Riverside County court workers said it could have been worse.
"We did lessen the impact by convincing the court to keep more jobs and preserve more services than they wanted to," said Ian Thompson, of SEIU Local 721.
"Our main priority now is fixing the problem at its source. We need to get Sacramento to allocate more funding for our courts in Riverside County and across California," Thompson said in an email.
The cuts became necessary, Carter said, as the court saw its budget drop from $169.1 million in fiscal year 2008-09 to $128 million for the current year. State funding, the largest among the court's funding sources, has dropped from a high of $81.3 million in 2009 to $64 million this year. The court's reserve funds were largely used up during the past year. Riverside County courts were facing a $13.9 million deficit, Carter said.
But $5.2 million from the combination of restored state money and the state's new funding formula, plus workforce and court service reductions and economizing moves such as the changes for traffic ticket management means the court likely will have a balanced budget, Carter said.
San Bernardino County courts have undergone a similar slide over the past several years and began closing courts starting in 2009, when the Redlands facility was shut down. Nash, the court executive officer, said that despite the closures and reduction in workforce of about 220 positions since July 2011, San Bernardino County courts still face a projected deficit of $6 million this year.
Nash said that deficit forecast is down from $11.3 million. The combined infusion of the new state money and assessment formula put $6.6 million of new money into the San Bernardino County court budget, helping to cut the forecast deficit in half, he said. The projected budget for this fiscal year is $103 million, while anticipated revenues are $97.1 million.
While San Bernardino County courts have $17 million in reserve to help offset its deficit, administrators also want to restore some basic services for the closed courts in Needles and Big Bear and develop self-help programs for court users who can't afford attorneys.
"It's just real inconvenient," said Melissa Tangeman, 37, who said she is a lifelong Big Bear resident and the baker at Thelma's Restaurant and Bakery in the mountain town. "We have to either go to the (downtown) San Bernardino court, which is insanely crowded, or to Victorville. And both ways are an hour's drive to get there."
Between driving time and waits to get court business done, "we have to spend the entire day. And in the wintertime we have to drive through the snow. You can imagine what that's like. It's ridiculous."
Nash emphasized there would be no effort to use up the $17 million reserve money before next fiscal year, when the system of large backup funds ends for local courts.
"We do not intend to spend money just to spend money," Nash said. "We have to become more efficient. Our goal is not to close any more courts, and we are looking at all options to come up with solutions."
The Inland counties remain the most under-staffed for judges in California.
In a 2012 assessment, the state Judicial Council said San Bernardino County needed 65 more judges, and Riverside County needed 55 additional jurists to handle their caseloads. Each county now has more than 2 million people, but the Legislature has not funded judgeships already authorized for both counties.

Still I want them to be addictive so I can enjoy the short times I'm playing. On the other hand these games should not be too complex.

Twice a month I have a group of 11 year old girls over and we craft, sing songs, learn etc. I love doing this. They are such fun girls to get to know.
They always expect treats. Always. Which is fine with me. So I may be showing more treat recipes here on the blog. I made these Chocolate Strawberry Cream cupcakes to celebrate a birthday we had in the group.
The girls all LOVED them! They went back for seconds. I loved them also. The chocolate and strawberry frosting went so well together. Plus they look pretty lol.
- 1/3 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 T butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cap full vanilla
- 1 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt.
- In separate bowl, cream together sugar and butter.
- Add eggs 1 at a time.
- Add vanilla
- Alternate adding flour mixture and milk.
- Pour into lined cupcake pan.
- Bake 15 to 17 mins. or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
- 1 {8 oz} package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp strawberry extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Combine the cream cheese, sugar and strawberry extract.
- Mix until smooth.
- While mixing slowly add cream.
- Continue whipping until cream can hold a stiff peak.
These are a fun treat to make and they taste soo good. The extract was enough to get this light pink color but if you want, you can always add a few drops of food coloring. Let me know if you make these. I'd love to hear how they turn out.

Magna 5 has two singles
Handicappers involved in this weekend's Kentucky Derby Future Wager will have to wait until Derby Day on May 1 for a potential payday.
Those looking for a shorter-term payoff also have opportunities this weekend - such as the Magna 5. The multiple-race bet is back again Saturday, once again with a $500,000 guaranteed pool.
This week's bet includes the Grade 2 Barbara Fritchie from Laurel Park and the big races for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream, the Hutcheson and the Fountain of Youth.
Those races are intriguing for those following the Derby trail, but first things first - here's a look at the bet in the order in which the five races will be run.
Leg One - Barbara Fritchie, Laurel, race 9
Most of the entrants are fillies and mares who have been running in $50,000 to $100,000 stakes races in Maryland, and few have major graded-stakes experience.
I don't have a strong opinion regarding who I like - only who I don't. Bear Fan, a Southern California shipper, will likely be overbet following a troubled trip when third at 3-2 odds in one of the Sunshine Millions stakes races at Santa Anita on Jan. 24.
She acts like a quality mare, but she figures to be overplayed in both the win pool and the pick five.
My concern is that she has raced exclusively in California, where the conditions are dramatically different from those in Maryland in mid-February.
I plan to go four deep in this race, trying to connect with a midpriced horse. The choices are Balmy, Bronze Abe, Gazillion, and Shiny Sheet.
Leg Two - Hutcheson, Gulfstream, race 10
Lion Tamer won this race last year, with Scrimshaw third and Cajun Beat last among the six starters. Scrimshaw would later finish third in the Preakness, and Cajun Beat went on to win the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
There are several bright up-and-comers in this year's race, but I am not convinced they are ready to defeat two accomplished sprinters of the quality of Limehouse and Wynn Dot Comma. Those horses have excellent one-turn records, and both hail from red-hot stables.
Leg Three - Golden Gate, race 4
Maidens are up next, where a single looms. Trieste's Honor, a Southern California invader, comes off a deceptively good sixth-place finish in one of the best maiden races of the year.
Trieste's Honor last ran Jan. 18 at Santa Anita, finishing more than 15 lengths behind victorious Quintons Pash Rush. That horse appears destined for stakes, and the ones that chased him are also talented.
Early returns from horses exiting this race have been positive. Runner-up Wimbledon came back to crush maidens Feb. 8 at Santa Anita, and seventh-place finisher Plenty of Heat returned to win a maiden $62,500 claimer at Santa Anita on Feb. 6.
Now Trieste's Honor faces a maiden special weight field at Golden Gate that is at best as good as a maiden $62,500 claimer at Santa Anita.
He'll be a single on my tickets, although players wanting a larger ticket may also wish to consider Mazurka Dancer, a half-brother to 1996 Kentucky Derby runner-up Cavonnier.
Leg Four - Santa Anita, race 5
Contention runs deeper in this race, a $25,000 claimer at 6 1/2 furlongs. I plan use three horses: Pavlovsk, Diamond Hope, and Damn the Torpedoes.
Pavlovsk and Diamond Hope are attractive from a class standpoint, having raced competitively at or above the $25,000 claiming level. Damn the Torpedoes, recently second vs. $25,000 stock, makes his first start for trainer Mike Mitchell, who is winning at a 34-percent rate with first-after-claim runners.
Leg Five - Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, race 11
The last-race performance by Second of June was striking. But that victory came in the Holy Bull, a race that is generally much easier to win than the Fountain of Youth.
Even following a layoff dating back to Nov. 29, Read the Footnotes is my choice. He won the Remsen last fall by 3 3/4 lengths over Master David, recent winner of the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita.
Year after year, the Remsen foreshadows which horses will develop into top 3-year-olds. Derby winners Thunder Gulch and Go for Gin won the Remsen in the 1990's.
By singling Read the Footnotes, I can keep the cost of my ticket fairly low. Using four horses in the first leg, two in the second, one in the third, three in the fourth, and Read the Footnotes in the last, my total cost for the $2 Magna 5 is $48.

The music industry is intensely competitive. The proliferation of TV talent shows in recent years has helped launch a handful of individuals into the celebrity stratosphere, but the reality is that most artists work incredibly hard, slogging away doing what they love – yet remaining relatively undiscovered.
There is a wealth of talent out there: from individual DJs to big bands; from solo singers to string quartets – and all the artists in between. But how can we find them? Where can we go to easily search for the right performer for our event – whether we're an individual throwing a 70th for our mum, or an event planner managing a large corporate celebration?
To help people answer these questions, the founders of eGigger asked AVAMAE to build them an online, fully-customisable platform that enabled artists to showcase their talents; and allowed customers to find and book the perfect performer for their individually-tailored occasion.
Featuring a star rating system and review features, bookers can be assured of an act's quality and reliability. For the peace of mind of both parties, payment is taken up front and held in an escrow account, to be released 24 hours after a performance time – so there's no worrying that your performer won't show up; and there's the assurance that, as an artist, you will get paid!
To find out more about eGigger and how it can help you find the right act for your experience, please visit http://www.egigger.com/
If you think your creative talents could be unearthed with the help of a similar online platform, please get in touch.

As a lightsaber afficionado, I've often touted the cool lasers provided by Wicked Lasers. I mean, until lightsabers are a physical possibility, really cool lasers and light-based toys are about as close we can come.
Well, Wicked Lasers has done it again. They've added a neat attachment to their already awesome high-powered laser products to make it look a lot like a Star Wars Lightsaber.
Granted, they're on the pricey side, but, hey, now you can kill two birds with one stone: you can have an awesome, powerful laser, AND you can have a lightsaber-like blade.
Check them out here:
Here's their really cheesy video:

We choose the 11 drives to make your heart soar, although several demand nerves of steel and comprehensive car insurance.
The drive of your life
What makes a great drive? Is it the pleasure of cruising the open road, the thrill of unfettered speed or the satisfaction of executing a tight bend perfectly? For some it is. For others it's watching fantastic scenery unfurl as you bowl along, the wind in your hair. Here are 11 trips that can be done in a hire car, although several demand nerves of steel and a comprehensive insurance policy.
Germany: the no-speed-limit Nürburgring
There's no better place to play out the racing driver fantasy than the Nürburgring near Cologne. Built in the 1920s to test cars and host races, the 20km circuit twists and turns through the wooded Eifel Mountains. The German Grand Prix was held here until 1976, when the circuit was deemed too dangerous for modern Formula One cars.
Now the bulk of the original circuit, known as the Nordschleife, is open to the public, who can lap in their own vehicles (cars, motorcycles, even motorhomes) for a toll of €22 (Dh112) per lap.
This roller-coaster ride features blind bends, unexpected crests and steep inclines. Each corner has a different radius, camber and gradient. There's no speed limit and no oncoming traffic. You can rent a Lotus to do the circuit in style, through www.ringprojekt.com. For more information on the Nürburgring, visit www.nurburgring.org.uk.
France: La Grande Corniche
The high road from Nice to Menton is an engineering masterpiece. Built by Napoleon to pave the way for his invasion of Italy, it took 30 years to create this aerial trunk road that leaps across rocky outcrops 500 metres above the sea.
The Corniche is 32km of pure motoring pleasure: wide lanes, perfect curves and crisp white lines. And it's surprisingly quiet; most traffic uses the coast road or the highway.
If a road can be said to have elegance, the Corniche has it in spades. The best-selling Rolls Royce Corniche was designed to drive along it, taking the rich effortlessly to Monte Carlo.
The section between Nice and Eze stars in many car advertisements, the road caught between the snow-capped Alps and the sparking blue sea. Le Château de la Chèvre d'Or (www.chevredor.com) in the pretty stone village of Eze is one of France's best hotels. Book well ahead for lunch in its terrace restaurant, which has a fabulous sea view.
Spain: Picos de Europa
This seven-hour drive through the Picos de Europa National Park deserves the accolade "spectacular". Coming from Santander, the road disappears into the Desfiladero de la Hermida at Panes, a twisting slot through rock walls with knife-sharp pinnacles.
A side valley leads up to Fuente De from where a cable car glides up sheer rock for top-of-the-world panoramas. Back in Potes, a quiet road circuits the southern part of the park through forested valleys hemmed in by formidable mountains.
From Cangas de Onis, a friendly and historic market town, a magnificent valley leads to Arenas de Cabrales. There is hiking through beautiful gorges or, if you're not feeling quite that energetic, catch the newish funicular railway that bores through the mountain to the hidden valley of Bulnes.
Drive directions can be found in Landscapes of the Picos de Europa (www.sunflowerbooks.co.uk). Stay in a historic parador, a luxury hotel in a castle or former monastery (www.paradoresofspain.com).
Italy: the Amalfi Corniche
The coast road from Sorrento to Salerno is arguably the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. It's also the scariest. Driving this way more than 50 years ago, the novelist John Steinbeck wrote: "We hit the coast, a road, high, high above the blue sea, that hooked and corkscrewed on the edge of nothing. In the back seat my wife and I lay clutched in each other's arms, weeping hysterically, while in the front seat Signor Bassano gestured with both hands."
From Sorrento it's a short steep drive up to Sant'Agata sui due Golfi. The bird's-eye view over two great bays is matched by lunch at the two-Michelin-starred Don Alfonso 1890 (www.donalfonso.com).
The road hurtles back down to Positano, its pastel villas clinging like limpets to the mountainside, and the welcoming embrace of Le Sirenuse, a gorgeous 18th-century palazzo perched over the sea (www.sirenuse.it).
From here the Corniche loops round gullies and plunges across rivers to Amalfi. It's so narrow in parts that wing mirrors clatter as cars pass. After another nail-bitting ascent to Ravello, on a squiggle of road wound as tightly as spaghetti, it is plain sailing to the port of Salerno.
Scotland: the road to the Isles
The finest scenery in the Scottish Highlands unfolds on the 210km from Glasgow to Mallaig. After skirting Loch Lomond, the A82 climbs up Rannoch Moor before diving into the hauntingly beautiful Glencoe, described by Charles Dickens as "bleak and wild and mighty".
When Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, comes into view, turn west on the A830, which crisscrosses the West Highland Railway. The 21-arch Glenfinnian Viaduct is where Harry Potter chased the Hogwarts Express in a flying Ford Anglia. Make a stop at Banavie to watch boats negotiate the eight-lock Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian Canal. The road hugs Loch Eilt all the way to the sea at Arisaig before curling behind some of the most remarkable beaches in Europe - all soft white sand and flower-filled machair dunes - with Skye's brooding Cuillin mountains as a backdrop.
Visit www.discoverglencoe.com and www.road-to-the-isles.org.uk for more information.
England: St Ives to Cape Cornwall
The moment the B3306 leaves the artists' colony of St Ives, it enters a brooding timeless landscape. Craggy boulder-strewn moorland sweeps down to wild headlands that drop into a royal blue sea.
On the narrow plateau in between, ancient stone walls enclose tiny, luminous green fields. When the mist rolls in, shot through with a brilliant northern light, you are immediately transported to prehistoric times when men wore skins and blue warpaint. Ancient farmsteads straddle the road; ruined castles, stone circles and burial chambers litter the moor. Men-an-Tol, a holed stone large enough to climb through, is still used for healing and fertility rituals.
The clifftop Gurnard's Head Hotel (www.gurnardshead.co.uk) is a very comfortable base for walking along the coastal footpath, where ruined engine-house chimneys stand sentinel to the days when Cornwall provided most of the world's tin.
Hire an Austin Healey 3000 for the ride from Cornwall Classic Car Hire (www.cornwallclassiccarhire.co.uk).
South Africa: the Garden Route
The Garden Route tag is a misnomer. It's not a string of designer gardens but a stunning drive on the N2 around the Western Cape, a coastline covered with fynbos, a thick fragrant bush.
The drive starts at Mossel Bay, an old-fashioned seaside resort, where you can arrange a close encounter with sharks using a diving cage (www.whitesharkafrica.com).
The simply named Wilderness National Park is ravishing lakeland best explored by canoe, bicycle or on foot. Moving on, Plettenberg Bay has a long beach of golden sand and is the place to see southern right whales, which breed in the bay from June through November.
After "Plett", leave the N2 for Nature's Valley, a superb beach and unspoilt lagoon. The Tsitsikamma National Park beyond has superb hiking paths and an underwater trail for snorkellers.
Morocco: Marrakech to Taroudant
The Tizi n Test, which crosses the High Atlas (or the Grand Atlas Mountains) between Marrakech and Taroudant, is the most stunning road in Morocco. It's a drive that demands skill, caution and confidence. Only one vehicle wide in places, there are no crash barriers to guard against the 500-metre drops. Nervous drivers should do the five-hour trip in a taxi, which costs US$85 (Dh312).
From Marrakech the road climbs towards the snow-capped peaks of the Toukbal National Park, passing Berber villages hardly changed by the passage of time. At Asni there's a turning for Imlil, which leads to the restored Kasbah du Toubkal (www.kasbahdutoubkal.com), a very comfortable base for summitting the 4,165-metre Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest mountain.
Tipping over the pass, a vast panorama opens up over the arid south. The Great Mosque of Tin Mal, a symphony in pink brick, has welcomed travellers for 854 years. The drive ends with a flourish at the gates of Taroudant, a lively market town surrounded by crenellated walls.
Australia: the Great Ocean Road
From sleepy Torquay, one of the world's best-known coastal drives hugs the contours of Victoria's rugged south coast for more than 300 kilometres. On one side is the pounding surf of the Southern Ocean, on the other, very tall eucalyptus trees. Driving this road, built more than 80 years ago, is a real pleasure and the views are far-reaching. At Apollo Bay the road leaves the coast and winds through the rainforest of Cape Otway. For a closer look at this botanical marvel visit the Otway Fly, a tree-top walk 25 metres above ground (www.otwayfly.com). The Twelve Apostles, massive weathered stone pillars that rise out of the surf near Port Campbell, are the most impressive of the many arches, blowholes and caves that can be seen from the road on this protected coast.
Jordan: the King's Highway
The 335km King's Highway, which winds its way from the capital, Amman, to the sea at Aqaba, is said to be the world's oldest trade route. The modern road is a pleasure to drive; traffic is light and signage is in both Arabic and English.
The highway is also a journey through Jordanian history. From the heights of Mount Nebo, the road plunges 1,200 metres into the nature reserve hidden deep in the Wadi Mujib gorge, before curling up again to the crusader castle at Karak. Ibex, a type of wild goat, and mountain gazelle can be seen in the Dana Nature Reserve.
Petra, the Nabatean capital hewn from the pink sandstone hills, needs no introduction. After reaching the Red Sea at Aqaba, transfer to the Desert Highway to return to Amman.
USA: Route 66
Known as America's Main Street, Route 66 (www.historic66.com) from Chicago to Los Angeles is regarded as a microcosm of American culture linked by the automobile. The original 1920s route was used by Midwesterners migrating to California in search of fame and fortune. Route 66 still passes through many small towns that are home to Art Deco trading posts, filling stations, motels and diners that would not be out of place on a 1940s film set.
The first half of the 3,800km drive down through Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma to Texas is across a vast pancake-flat landscape that heightens the sense of going on a big road trip. Two of the most atmospheric stretches of the original road are in New Mexico, from Lupton via Los Lunas to Moriaty, and in Arizona from Williams to Topock before it crosses the Mojave Desert to Los Angeles.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie
Although this pie is more involved than my usual pumpkin pie, the flavor is superb! I finally have found a wonderful gluten free crust that still stays crispy even on the second day! When I made it, I let the crust bake too long the first time and had to shield the crust with pie crust shields during the second baking time. The crust still was over done but it had a wonderful flavor and everyone loved it at Thanksgiving.

How to Make Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie
- 1Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375 degrees. Roll dough into 12" circle between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Remove top sheet, invert over a 9" pie plate and ease dough into plate. Remove remaining plastic and trim dough to 1/2" beyond lip of plate. Tuck dough under itself to be flush with edge of plate and flute evenly around the edge with your fingers.
- 2Cover dough loosely with plastic and freeze until firm--about 15 minutes. Remove plastic and bake until crust is light brown in color--20-25 minutes. Rotate half way through baking. Transfer to wire rack (crust must still be warm when filling is added) Adjust rack to lowest posi.tion and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees
- 3While crust bakes, process pumpkin, sugar, salt and spices together in a food processor until combined. Transfer mixture to a saucepan (no need to clean bowl) and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Cook, stirring constantly until thick and shiny-about 5 minutes. Whisk in cream and milk, return to simmer briefly and remove from heat.
- 4Process eggs in food processor until uniform. With machine running, slowly add half of hot pumpkin mixture. Stop machine and add the rest and process until uniform .
- 5Immediately pour warm filling into warm partially baked crust. (if there is extra, ladle it into the pie after 5 minutes of baking) Bake until filling is puffed and lightly cracked around the edges and center wiggles slighlty when jiggled, about 25 minutes. Let pie cool until filling has set. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

When John returns from his journey, he tells his father what he has seen and learned. John wants to tell everyone else, as well, but his father dissuades him. John's father explains why the knowledge should not be shared immediately:
Truth is a hard deer to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth. It was not idly that our fathers forbade the Dead Places.
John accepts the wisdom of his father's words:
He was right--it is better the truth should come little by little.
In the concluding paragraph of the story, we learn that John and his father began to lead their people slowly to the truth. "At least, we make a beginning," John says.

Brooklyn Beckham has a new gig

The 16-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has not only modeled, but now, he's the photographer behind Burberry's latest fragrance shoot.
Burberry posted photos of Brooklyn's job on their Instagram.

Alignment of interest.
The family always invest their own money in Quantrust's products alongside clients. The best way to ensure alignment of interest.
Quantrust continuously looks for other ways to ensure alignment of interest with its clients. In 2012, Quantrust was one of the first fund managers to include claw-back mechanisms in the calculation of the performance fees of its funds. This means that, in the interest of its clients, Quantrust give back part of its performance fees if performance turns sour (see prospectus for details).
Quantrust has always operated with complete transparency. This means full transparency of all positions and look-through exposures.
And no hidden or double fee layers.
Neutralisation of environmental footprint.
Quantrust cares deeply about developing sustainable business models and protecting the environment, especially the world's forests.
To this effect Quantrust neutralises unwanted exposure to companies which do not meet Quantrust's sustainability criteria through an ESG-hedge. Quantrust's exclusion policy currently includes all companies on Achmea's ESG exclusion list and all companies that score less than 2 stars in the Forest 500. Quantrust intends to expand this policy in the future.
1% of Quantrust's annual profits are reserved for select forest conservation projects around the globe.
Quantrust is also implementing a paperless office. Documents are only permitted to printed if required for regulatory purposes or external presentations.

This guy I fell in love with years ago, but who I rejected because he was together with someone else at the time, decided to date me again. However, he decided to the payback which was him asking me out, me saying yes and then him not arranging the dates and then using crap excuses that he is "busy" when I am not even asking for an excuse.
The thing that baffles me is that someone can hate me this much to do this.
Is he crazy or is this normal male behaviour.
by the way he decided not to do a work where he could get good money for Christmas just to make a point that he absolutely hates me and wants me to suffer.
Most Helpful Girl
This very same thing happened to me. We were friends, he fingered me in my sleep, I dumped him as a friend, then started liking him like 6 months later. We became friends again & he liked me, but after that it felt like he was always paying me back for dumping him. I stayed "friends/dating" with him for years & he kind of just strung me along the whole rest of the time. I wasted years of my life on him, cut myself, & nearly killed myself over his sorry butt. I'm just thankful that I finally smartened up & started dating an amazing guy who would never be such an evil person. I know now. If they feel the need to "pay you back" they don't truly love you.11|00|0
