Another seasonal cupcake for you.
If you follow me on facebook then you know I was making cakes for a friend's wedding yesterday. one of the flavors she chose was Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. This is the cupcake I served her when I had her over for a tasting. I love these cupcakes with both the Caramel Buttercream and Cream Cheese Frosting. The Caramel Buttercream is rich and sweet and the Cream Cheese Frosting is smooth and tangy. If those two frostings aren't enough for you, perhaps try Peanut Butter Frosting. I have to admit that I never actually thought to pair this Apple Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting, but it makes perfect sense. I had another set of friends over for a cake tasting and the Apple Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting (which was their idea) ended up being their favorite. Just reminds me sometimes I need to open my eyes a little wider. Either way, this is a delicious cake that should definitely be included in your Fall recipes.
I have included the recipe to the Caramel Buttercream below. Here are links to my Cream Cheese Frosting and Peanut Butter Frosting.
Apple Cupcakes
recipe from Baked Perfection
makes 24 cupcakes
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated apples**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line a 12 cup muffin pan.
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugars until creamy. Beat in the the orange juice, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Slowly add the flour mixture, mix until just combined. Stir in the grated apples. Bake 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Cool completely before frosting.
**Bakers Note - I prefer to use a mix of sweet and sour apples. For my latest batch I used a mix of Granny Smith and Macintosh.
Caramel Buttercream
recipe slightly adapted from Martha Stewart
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 large egg whites, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Bring 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Wash sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until caramel is dark amber. Immediately remove from heat, and slowly add cream, salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool.
Beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
Place whites and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, and attach bowl to a mixer. Whisk on medium speed for 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high, and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 6 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and add beaten butter, cup at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla. Switch to paddle attachment. With mixer on low speed, add caramel, and beat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
**Bakers Note - When I made the caramel I doubled the recipe and used the leftover to drizzle caramel over the cupcakes. You will still have some leftover which is great on ice cream!

Carmelo Anthony professed not to hear the scattered boos that greeted him when he touched the ball at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday night. Or, at least he heard them but was convinced they were for the team in general.
So he might have been a bit in denial.
But he is not feeling the hate the same way he did in the first few years following his trade out of Denver to New York.
"I think all of that is gone," Anthony said. "The fans that was here when I was here, they understand the situation. There's no love lost from me to them. The real fans that was here, I don't think there was any love lost from them either with me." Read more…

Wearied celeb-watchers may have decided that the award season was finally over with the Oscars last week — but for those of us in the stationery world, it's all just begun. Yes, dear reader, the Louie Awards finalists have now been announced.
This year the Greeting Card Association had to sift through more than 1000 entries from 220 companies worldwide, so imagine our delight when our little pink pig found itself near the finish line in the birthday card category. (As for its final place on the podium, we will have to wait until the ceremony on May 19th.)
This card (see above) is one of our favorites, too. There is something about this pig's cheeky smile that charms us anew every time we see it. And talk of pigs also allows us to trot out one of our favorite quotes — from Winston Churchill:
"I like pigs.
Dogs look up to us.
Cats look down on us.
Pigs treat us as equals."
So here's hoping that the Louie judges will be feeling as affectionate about the cloven-footed come May 19th.

A seaside stroll in Helsinki
A seaside stroll in Helsinki is an easy half-day walk in Helsinki, Finland.
This stroll past some of Helsinki's sights is about 7 km from end to end and can be completed easily in a morning or afternoon. Aside from the Sibelius Monument and Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, there are few tourists about on most of the trail, and it offers a slice of Finnish nature and city life a very short hop away from the city. A sunny summer day is optimal, but a warm late spring or early autumn day has its attractions, and parts of it may even be accessible by ski in winter.
No preparation necessary, everything you'd need can be picked up from kiosks and cafes along the way. You don't really even need a map, as the trail follows the coast all the way.
Get in[edit]
Here are three points along the walk easily accessible by public transport.
Our walk starts at Ruoholahti metro station, smack dab in one of Helsinki's newer districts, full of modern apartments and anonymous office buildings. Unless you want to pack a picnic at the S-Market or have a fast-food lunch before setting off, there's no need to spend any time here — take the underpass under the highway and wind your way past the blue office buildings to the start of the footpath.
Stay safe[edit]
The main danger is mercenary squirrels in Seurasaari. Don't carry open containers of food, even in your backpack, since these little thieves won't hesitate to jump in to get to it!
In summer, you can spot quite a few berries along the path. Eg. raspberries and red currants are easily identifiable and safe to eat, although Finns tend to shun those right next to the path — odds are they've been "watered" by dogs. Steer clear of anything you're not sure of though.

Earlier reports have been confirmed that Oscar-winning screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network), will adapt the Steve Jobs biography for Sony Pictures. The Walter Isaacson-penned biography, titled simply, "Steve Jobs," came out a few weeks after the business mogul's death last October; reports quickly started circulating that Sony was courting Sorkin to adapt it. While the rumors that Noah Wyle and George Clooney are in the running to portray Jobs have not been confirmed, Sorkin is officially attached. Also, please keep in mind that this is not the Ashton Kutcher indie biopic, Jobs, which was scripted by Matt Whiteley. Hit the jump for more on Sorkin and the Steve Jobs biopic.
Fans of Sorkin will be happy to hear that the award-winning writer will be handling the adaptation of the polarizing figure, Steve Jobs. Here's what Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment said in an earlier press release:
"Steve Jobs' story is unique: he was one of the most revolutionary and influential men not just of our time but of all time. There is no writer working in Hollywood today who is more capable of capturing such an extraordinary life for the screen than Aaron Sorkin; in his hands, we're confident that the film will be everything that Jobs himself was: captivating, entertaining, and polarizing."
As for Sorkin, he will also make his motion picture directorial debut with a film based on "The Politician," a best-seller by Andrew Young that chronicles the downfall of former Senator John Edwards. Sorkin will adapt the book and also produce. His newest television series, HBO's The Newsroom, is set to premiere on June 24th. Sorkin will also return to Broadway in his debut as a librettist with his production of "Houdini" based on the life of the legendary magician. The musical will feature music and lyrics by Oscar/Grammy-winner, Stephen Schwartz and stars Hugh Jackman.

Gorgonzola Vinaigrette on Roasted Vegetables and Kamut Salad
by Sara of Sprouted Kitchen
As winter carries on, the season's root veggies are often best when spending some good time in the oven – bringing out their natural sweetness. I love the caramelized flavors of roasted beets, Brussels sprouts and fennel this time of the year, but feel free to swap any of the veggies for some carrots, parsnips, celery root or sweet potatoes. These richly flavored vegetables pair well with this bold Wisconsin Gorgonzola dressing.
Striking enough to keep up with the vegetables, Gorgonzola presents a bit of sweetness and acidity and the perfect amount of creaminess to this dish. The assertiveness that we love in this cheese makes this a unique vegetarian dish – perfect as the main event or a hearty side when treating your honey next week! See my recipe video for this delicious dish on the Wisconsin Cheese Vimeo Page.
When roasting, make sure all of the vegetables you choose have similar cooking times, and give them ample space on the baking sheet so they get crispy edges instead of steaming.
by Sara of Sprouted KitchenServes 4-6
1 1/2 cups kamut (or farro, barley, wheat berries, etc.)
4 cups broth or water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Roasted Vegetables
1 small bunch baby beets (about 6), cleaned and halved
12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
1 large fennel bulb, sliced in 1/2" wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
Gorgonzola Vinaigrette
1/3 cup (about 6 ounces) crumbled Wisconsin Gorgonzola
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Chopped flat leaf parsley, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse the kamut.
Add the kamut, salt, and broth or water to a large pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, turn it down to a simmer, cover and cook for 40-50 minutes until the grains are plump and soft, adding water to the pot if it gets dry before the grains are cooked. Stir in the unsalted butter, cover and set aside.
While the grains are cooking, combine the beets, Brussels sprouts and fennel wedges on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil, balsamic, salt and pepper and toss everything with your hands to coat. Add oil if needed, to make sure all vegetables are coated. Roast on the middle rack for about 40 minutes until the beets can be easily pierced with a knife.
While vegetables are cooking, make your vinaigrette. In a bowl, smash the Gorgonzola with a fork to mash it up. Add the minced shallots, pepper, honey and olive oil; mash well to combine. Whisk in the cider vinegar and parsley and alter to your taste.
Assemble the platter with the grains on bottom, add the vegetables, then drizzle on the dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Death-Major Accident
The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), with Sport Industry Australia, hosted the National Forum on Pregnancy in Sport in Sydney on 1st August 2001. Participants from all aspects of sport in Australia, including government, non-government, health, legal and industry sectors, took part. Updated Pregnancy in Sport Guidelines were developed based on the conclusions of the forum, and on other expert contributions.
These guidelines are intended as a practical checklist for all those concerned with pregnancy in sport.  However, because each person, each pregnancy, each legal case and each sport is different, these guidelines can only assist in a general way with making decisions about this issue.
As part of Pony Club Association of Victoria Risk Management Plan the following is recommended:
Display a copy of Sport Medicine Australia's Exercise in Pregnancy - Women in Sport Fact Sheet 2 and this Statement on your noticeboard.
Remove any reference to pregnancy from your By-Laws.
Provide a safe environment for all Pony Club Members.
The pregnant participant is provided with the same personal accident policy that is provided for all registered members of Pony Club Association of Victoria. However, the participant is not covered if the resultant injury is found to be due to the pregnancy. No cover is provided for the unborn baby.
The pregnant volunteer/official is provided with the same personal accident policy that is provided for all registered members of Pony Club Association of Victoria. However, the participant is not covered if the resultant injury is found to be due to the pregnancy. No cover is provided for the unborn baby.
Associations (their committee members) are covered for legal liability for all amounts that they may become legally liable to pay, as per the limits of the policy whether arising out of statute, contract or common law for the compensation, as a result of bodily injury or property damage caused by an occurrence and arising out of the activities of Pony Club.
"This is a mixed group of sports which carry a high risk from falls, physical trauma or other risks and should not be undertaken once the sportswoman knows or suspects that she is pregnant".  Sports Medicine Australia recommends that pregnant women avoid sports such as scuba diving, parachuting, waterskiing, martial arts, gymnastics, horseriding and trampolining.
Sports Medicine Australia has developed guidelines entitled "Participation of the Pregnant Athlete in Contact and Collision Sports." The guidelines are intended to provide recommendations to the pregnant athlete and sporting organisations on safe participation in contact and collision sports during pregnancy. A summary of the guidelines follows.

Wall Street bonuses should be up about 8% this season and total $20 billion, according to New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. But experts caution that this increase doesn't necessarily translate into much these days for advisors.
"Bonus season used to make a difference in the lives" of wealth managers and others, said Howard Diamond, managing director and chief operating officer of Diamond Consultants, a recruiting and consulting firm in Chester, N.J. "Now, with a de minimis amount being paid in cash and wealth managers waiting for longer periods of time to receive these awards," that's no longer the case, he says. "You can say that the large firms are giving bonuses to wealth managers but little of it is upfront," explained Diamond.
Bonuses on Wall Street, as tracked by New York's comptroller, peaked in 2006 at $36.3 billion, when the average bonus topped $191,300, and the total bonus pool hit nearly $23 billion in 2010, when the average bonus was close to $139,000. The estimated average per employee for 2012 (paid in early 2013) is about $121,900.
This data reflects both cash payments and deferred compensation for which taxes have been paid. Stock options and other deferred compensation, though, are not included. Deferred comp is an increasing way that bonuses are paid to those who stay with a firm through the vesting period, experts point out.
Morgan Stanley, for instance, decided in mid-January that employees who made more than $350,000 a year, like traders and investment bankers, and who were set to receive cash bonuses of $50,000 and up would have these payments deferred and also paid out with both cash and stock, a Reuters report said. This plan does not affect financial advisors; however, industry experts considered it a warning shot for the industry.
"In 2011, when the bonuses totaled $18.5 billion, one could assume that the $4.5 billion drop from 2010 may have stemmed from increased deferred compensation being given as a proportion of total compensation," said compensation consultant Andy Tasnady of Tasnady Associates in Port Washington, N.Y.
"In other words, in 2011 maybe firms awarded the same $23 billion in bonuses as in 2010, but paid out $18.5 billion in cash in 2011 and added $4.5 billion in deferred comp awards to be paid out over the next three years," explained Tasnady. "This then would make the 2012 reported increase actually flat as far as new cash awards. So, it would initially look like 2012 bonuses are up, but it's really just the same award level combined with a deferred-comp award from the earlier year that came due."
In the short run, Tasnady points out, a firm's profit-and-loss statements "actually benefit from an increase in deferred-compensation proportions, since this reduces the short-term expense line." Wall Street firms report the deferred compensation only as it vests to the employee, he notes.
According to the comptroller, 2012 profits were $23.9 billion for Wall Street firms vs. $7.7 billion in 2011. They topped out at $61.4 billion in 2009.
"The happy numbers describing bonuses that are up and industry profitability that's rising conceal the fact that this has been achieved in part because of wide-ranging layoffs that have dramatically reduced headcount," said Mark Elzweig, head of an executive-search consultancy in New York.
Plus, the bonuses numbers are inflated, Elzweig says, by the fact that more was paid out in 2012 to avoid 2013 tax increases. And don't look for much good news ahead, he adds.
"The fact is that going forward, Wall Street firms will hire in a more strategic and judicious manner," Elzweig said. "Many of the new jobs are likely to be in compliance as opposed to revenue-generating areas like trading and investment banking."


text: Friday, September 14, 2012 APTA Members Appointed to CDC Pediatric TBI Guideline Workgroup APTA members Anne Mucha, PT, DPT, MS, NCS, and John DeWitt PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, have been appointed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) newly created Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain (TBI) Injury Guideline Workgroup. Mucha and Dewitt will represent the role of physical therapists in concussion management. The workgroup, housed in CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, was established as a component of the Concussion Treatment and Care Tools (ConTACT) Act, legislation that was not passed into law but was supported by APTA in past congressional sessions. Comprising leading experts in the field of TBI, the workgroup will create a clinical guideline for use in physician's offices and emergency departments. A general overview of the 18- 24-month timeline for completion and a list of workgroup members are available on CDC's website. Mucha and DeWitt served on APTA's Concussion Workgroup established in 2010 to develop model language for APTA chapters to use in advocating for the involvement of physical therapists as part of the health care team responsible for management of concussion in student athletes. The workgroup also developed language for a House of Delegates position that was adopted in 2011 and updated in 2012. Last month, Mucha took part in APTA's "Head in the Game" podcast series on concussion in sports. The multiday series featured interviews with experts in the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of sports concussions. Mucha discussed some of the ways athletes are tested for concussions and rehabilitated, both to return to the playing field and for the benefit of long-term health. Find out more about the association's policy efforts in concussion management on APTA's Concussion Management Legislation webpage and in this Heard on the Hill podcast.

Among the newspaper front pages about the killing of Osama bin Laden, the New York Daily News stands out for its power.
The Daily News' "ROT IN HELL!" headline made the mostly local paper the hottest news website on Google Trends, ahead of national sites USA Today, Drudge Report, Fox News and the New York Times.
It also out-Foxed Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, which used the relatively restrained "GOT HIM!"
Other papers that used naked expressions of hatred included the Philadelphia Daily News ("WE GOT THE BASTARD!") and Edmonton Sun ("BURN IN HELL!")
The sentiment wasn't shared within the Catholic church. The Vatican put out a statement saying "Faced with the death of a man, a Christian never rejoices." On the Catholic Answers forum, one reader said: "But yes, 'rot in hell' is disgusting…we are called to something 'higher' as Christians."
An explosion of traffic has made it difficult to get to Newseum, the site that aggregates front pages.

This amanuensis post is not solely about my dad. However, he was a central character in the events that took place before the Court of Summary Jurisdiction at Clitheroe Borough Police Court on 28th September 1950
At the time my dad, Graham Dawson, had been working for a local farmer called Harry Crabtree. His jobs included milking and delivering milk by horse and cart.
According to the newspaper article my dad lived on the farm but at some point Mr Crabtree "decided he could dispense with his services" and he was just sacked.
I'm not sure how things developed after that, but at some point the Ministry of Agriculture decided to prosecute Mr Crabtree under the Agricultural Wages Act 1948 for failing to pay the minimum rate of wages.
There is a section missing from the bottom of the first column of the newspaper article but you can still get a good idea of what went on at the hearing.
I don't know whether my dad was a willing participant in the proceedings or not as he was served with a witness summons (below) on 3rd August 1950.
According to the newspaper report my dad worked for Mr Crabtree from October 1947 until April 1950 and wasn't paid the correct rate of pay for overtime.
The Ministry of Agriculture said "the claim could extend back for a period of two years but the prosecution was brought in respect of the failure to comply with the Orders for a week in February and one in March this year".
Mr Crabtree pleaded guilty to "technical offences". His solicitor said that "the pamphlets issued by the Ministry were very complicated" although he " thought the principle for payment for overtime was generally understood by members of the farming community".
He went on to say that "a farmers job is to milk and look after his cattle and not to read pamphlets issued by the Ministry". He also suggested that it was difficult for farmers :to keep check of times of starting, finishing and dinner hours etc.".
It seems as though an agreement had been reached between the parties concerned and the The Magistrates made an order for repayment of £53 10s. 4d.
So, willing participant or not, it looks like a good outcome for my dad. I'm not too sure what Mr Crabtree made of it – but I think I can guess.


text: Lord, speak through me. No! Speak to me. Is my desire to be an open vessel bordering on pride that I would look past what this vessel needs before it can rightly pour out from You and for You? Why do I sit in Your presence waiting for pearls of wisdom to share with others rather than put my face on the floor and empty myself so You can fill me? Only then will I have something worthy to give out. Please give me discernment for that subtle pride that I take for anointing. It's not what I know, not what I have seen, and not what spiritual vision and maturity I might have. It is only You in me. I will sit in Your presence, consciously emptying myself of me while waiting for You to fill me with Yourself. I must decrease, and You will increase. Only then can I be Your true servant. I desire Your fullness. Therefore, I have to wear the cloak of humility.

French artist Phillipe Pasqua created a unique allegory for the blending of man and machine: he covered a Ferrari F430 with leather and tattooed an intricate mural on the cowhide.
The car underneath the animal skin is apparently unmodified. The leatherwork looks to be absolutely flawless; one can only imagine how difficult it was to wrap the mirrors and tuck around the lights. The applied coloration is fantastically grotesque in the high-art sense of the term, mixing Japanese motifs of seas and serpents with Pasqua's signature skulls.
Should you be in Paris before mid-January, the piece is part of the artist's solo show at the Galerie Laurent Strouk.

The doll is a new Fashion Royalty doll from Jason Wu from his Monogram line and is called "Disclosure."
She is dressed in the outfit originally from Valia "Adore." Isn't she gorgeous? Seriously!
I asked Rebecca to describe her photography set up and camera. Here are her responses:
"The photo was taken in a photo tent with a graduated blue background, (it goes from white to dark blue).
I like to take photos in natural light if I can but I live in the Pacific Northwest so good quality natural light is hard to find from November to July. I use a three light system most of the time - one on either side and one light on top. I show some behind the scenes of my setup on my website http://thinkpink1265.spaces.
I am currently using a Canon 40D and these photos were taken with a 28-135mm lens."
"I consider myself a young an inexperienced student when it comes to photography and I have soooo much to learn. I am inspired every day by the photos I see on the doll board and flickr and especially on your doll blog. I love the photos you post." {Ooooo....thank you, Rebecca.}
"My suggestion to fellow collectors is to have fun, photograph what you love and don't forget to play!"
Rebecca is blessed with a 10-year-old daughter with whom she spends time discussing fashion photo shoots. She feels inspired by the amount of creativity on the doll boards and is in awe over the supportive and kind natures of fellow collectors.
Readers, you must visit her links to see her work and her collection. You will be in awe!
Congratulations, Rebecca, on the Picture of the Week Award!

Chuck talks about being a tree farmer. (Video by Hibbotte)
Chuck: Well you know, I am very proud to be called a tree farmer, and quite often I get the question, "Well, what is a tree farmer, what is a tree farm and what does a tree farmer do?"
Well, certainly a tree farm is not like any other farm that would have row crops and cows and pigs and that sort of thing. And certainly, we are involved in growing trees. That is primarily the first thing that we do: we plant them as seedlings and we nurture them and we manage them as they grow and then at one point in time, we are certainly going to harvest them.
And I am very proud that some of the trees that we harvest here at Charlane Plantation go to build somebody's first home or maybe they go to make some books that a student in high school or the university might be studying.
But tree farms are so much more than that. It's not only about the trees in the forest. It is about everything that's inside the forest. It is about biodiversity, about the entire ecosystem. It's about the wildlife and everything that exists inside the forest.
So I guess if I had to put it in one word, I would use the word balance. It's using the resource very wisely, very carefully and don't forget, trees are renewable. They grow back. That's the marvelous thing about them – is that we can continue to have our forests from now on - if we manage them properly.
And don't forget, mankind has been connected to the forests since the beginning of time, and if we take care of our forests, our forests will take care of us.

Big Ten and "super league" hockey teams will need who they ditched
Wednesday's "super league" announcement in Colorado Springs will dramatically change the college hockey landscape, including how I cover the NCAA Tournament. The chosen ones — 2011 NCAA Tournament participants DU, CC, North Dakota, Miami (Ohio), Minnesota-Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha — will publicly announce their intentions to split from the WCHA and CCHA, respectively, and form a star-studded start-up league that they hope will eventually include Notre Dame by the time it debuts for the 2013-14 season.
On one hand, I love this move because the super league will make a fine non-conference scheduling partner with the Big Ten (Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State). So the primary team I cover, DU, will mostly be playing big-time hockey programs on national or regional television.
The Big Ten will have the Big Ten Network, and the super league is rumored to have reached a deal — or will undoubtedly reach a deal with Notre Dame in the mix — with Versus/NBC to complement the network's NHL weekday coverage.
If that's the way it unfolds, I might have a better chance of covering Air Force in the NCAA Tournament than the Pioneers or CC Tigers. That is, if the NCAA Tournament doesn't tweak its computer selection model and increase the reward for strength of schedule and quality wins.

Many Twitter accounts have a single follower and almost all are ignored, according to a new report.
The report, from O'Reilly Radar, tells us that the majority of Twitter accounts have only one follower and the median account has only 61 followers, according to the report. However if you have more than 458 followers, you're pretty much in the top 10 percent of Twitter.
This means that the majority of accounts are ignored, likely by both the account holder and the general public. Peter Kafka at AllThingsD does point out that those with even a few hundred followers are "Twitter Famous." Kafka continues by saying that Twitter's business plan is based on an asymmetrical one -- basically everyone is supposed to be passive and reading, not creating.
U.S. & World
If that's the case, it's not surprising that other social networks with an emphasis on sharing photos or videos are gaining in popularity. Doesn't everyone want to the star of his or her own show?

Human genetic engineering has always been the stuff of science-fiction novels and blockbuster Hollywood films. Except that it is no longer confined to books and movies.
Scientists and doctors are already attempting to genetically alter human beings and our cells. And whether you realize it or not, you and your children are being bombarded in popular media with mixed messages on the ethics surrounding human genetic engineering.
So what does the Church say about the genetic engineering of humans?
The majority of Catholics would likely say that the Church opposes any genetic modification in humans. But that is not what our Church teaches. Actually, the Church does support human genetic engineering; it just has to be the right kind.
Surprised? Most Catholics probably are.
To understand Catholic Church teaching on genetic engineering, it is critical to understand an important distinction under the umbrella of genetic engineering: the difference between therapy and enhancement. It is a distinction that every Catholic should learn to identify, both in the real world and in fiction. Gene therapy and genetic enhancement are technically both genetic engineering, but there are important moral differences.
For decades, researchers have worked toward using genetic modification called gene therapy to cure devastating genetic diseases. Gene therapy delivers a copy of a normal gene into the cells of a patient in an attempt to correct a defective gene. This genetic alteration would then cure or slow the progress of that disease. In many cases, the added gene would produce a protein that is missing or not functioning in a patient because of a genetic mutation.
One of the best examples where researchers hope gene therapy will be able to treat genetic disease is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD. DMD is an inherited disorder where a patient cannot make dystrophin, a protein that supports muscle tissue. DMD strikes in early childhood and slowly degrades all muscle tissue, including heart muscle. The average life expectancy of someone with DMD is only 30 years.
Over the last few years, researchers have been studying mice with DMD. They have been successful in inserting the normal dystrophin gene into the DNA of the mice. These genetically engineered mice were then able to produce eight times more dystrophin than mice with DMD. More dystrophin means more muscle, which, in the case of a devastating muscle-wasting disease like DMD, would be a lifesaver.
Almost immediately after the announcement of this breakthrough, the researchers were inundated with calls from bodybuilders and athletes who wanted to be genetically modified to make more muscle.
The callers essentially wanted to take the genetic engineering designed to treat a fatal disease and apply it to their already healthy bodies.
Genetically engineering a normal man who wants more muscle to improve his athletic ability is no longer gene therapy. Instead, it is genetic enhancement.
Genetic enhancement would take an otherwise healthy person and genetically modify him to be more than human, not just in strength, but also in intelligence, beauty or any other desirable trait.
So why is the distinction between gene therapy and genetic enhancement important? The Catholic Church is clear that gene therapy is good, while genetic enhancement is morally wrong.
Why? Because gene therapy seeks to return a patient to normal human functioning. Genetic enhancement, on the other hand, assumes that man's normal state is flawed and lacking, that man's natural biology needs "enhancing." Genetic enhancement would intentionally and fundamentally alter a human being in ways not possible by nature, which means in ways God never intended.
The goal of medical intervention must always be the natural development of a human being, respecting the patient's inherent dignity and worth. Enhancement destroys that inherent dignity by completely rejecting mankind's natural biology. From the "Charter for Health Care Workers" by the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance:
"In moral evaluation, a distinction must be made between strictly 'therapeutic' manipulation, which aims to cure illnesses caused by genetic or chromosome anomalies (genetic therapy), and manipulation, 'altering' the human genetic patrimony. A curative intervention, which is also called 'genetic surgery,' will be considered desirable in principle, provided its purpose is the real promotion of the personal well-being of the individual, without damaging his integrity or worsening his condition of life.
"On the other hand, interventions which are not directly curative, the purpose of which is 'the production of human beings selected according to sex or other predetermined qualities,' which change the genotype of the individual and of the human species, 'are contrary to the personal dignity of the human being, to his integrity and to his identity. Therefore, they can be in no way justified on the pretext that they will produce some beneficial results for humanity in the future.' 'No social or scientific usefulness and no ideological purpose could ever justify an intervention on the human genome unless it be therapeutic; that is, its finality must be the natural development of the human being.'"
So genetic engineering to cure or treat disease or disability is good.
Genetic engineering to change the fundamental nature of mankind, to take an otherwise healthy person and engineer him to be more than human is bad.
There is much misinformation surrounding the Catholic Church's teaching on human genetic engineering. One example is in a piece in The New York Times by David Frum. Frum states that John Paul II supported genetic enhancement and, therefore, the Church does as well. Frum performs a sleight of hand, whether intentional or not. See if you can spot it:
"The anti-abortion instincts of many conservatives naturally incline them to look at such [genetic engineering] techniques with suspicion — and, indeed, it is certainly easy to imagine how they might be abused. Yet in an important address delivered as long ago as 1983, Pope John Paul II argued that genetic enhancement was permissible — indeed, laudable — even from a Catholic point of view, as long as it met certain basic moral rules. Among those rules: that these therapies be available to all."
Frum discusses enhancement and therapy as if they are the same. He equates them using the words "therapies" and "enhancement" interchangeably. Because John Paul II praised gene therapy, the assumption was that he must laud genetic enhancement as well. This confusion is common because, many argue, there is not a technical difference between therapy and enhancement, so lumping them together is acceptable.
Catholics must not fall into this trap. Philosophically, gene therapy and genetic enhancement are different. One seeks to return normal functioning; the other seeks to take normal functioning and alter it to be abnormal.
There are practical differences between therapy and enhancement as well. Genetic engineering has already had unintended consequences and unforeseen side effects. Gene-therapy trials to cure disease in humans have been going on for decades. All has not gone as planned. Some patients have developed cancer as a result of these attempts at genetically altering their cells.
In 1999, a boy named Jesse Gelsinger was injected with a virus designed to deliver a gene to treat a genetic liver disease. Jesse could have continued with his current treatment regime of medication, but he wanted to help others with the same disorder, so he enrolled in the trial. Tragically, Jesse died four days later from the gene therapy he received.
In 2007, 36-year-old mother Jolee Mohr died while participating in a gene-therapy trial. She had rheumatoid arthritis, and just after the gene therapy (also using a virus for delivery) was injected into her knee, she developed a sudden infection that caused organ failure. An investigation concluded that her death was likely not a direct result of the gene therapy, but some experts think that with something as treatable as rheumatoid arthritis she should never have been entered into such a trial. They argued that, because of the risks, gene therapy should only be used for treating life-threatening illness.
In other words, genetic engineering should only be tried in cases where the benefits will outweigh the risks, as in the treatment of life-threatening conditions. Currently, gene therapy is being undertaken because the risk of the genetic engineering is outweighed by the devastation of the disease it is attempting to cure. With the risks inherent in genetic modification, it should never be attempted on an otherwise healthy person.
You may be thinking that such risky enhancement experiments would never happen. Scientists and doctors would never attempt genetic modifications in healthy humans; human enhancements only exist in science fiction and will stay there. Except science and academia are already looking into it.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded Maxwell Mehlman, director of the Law-Medicine Center at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, $773,000 to develop standards for tests on human subjects in genetic-enhancement research. Research that would take otherwise normal humans and make them smarter, stronger or better-looking. If the existing human-trial standards cannot meet the ethical conditions needed for genetic-enhancement research, Mehlman has been asked to recommend changes.
In a recent paper in the journal Ethics, Policy & Environment, S. Matthew Liao, a professor of philosophy and bioethics at New York University, explored ways humanity can change its nature to combat "climate change." One of the suggestions Liao discusses is to genetically engineer human eyes to be like cat eyes so we can all see in the dark. This would reduce the need for lighting and reduce energy usage. Liao also discusses genetically modifying our offspring to be smaller so they eat less and use fewer resources.
Of course, Liao insists these are just discussions of possibilities, but what begins as discussions among academics often becomes common among the masses.
Once gene therapy has been perfected and becomes a mainstream treatment for genetic disease, the cries for genetic enhancement will be deafening. The masses will scream that they can do to their bodies as they wish — and they wish to no longer be simply human. They wish to be "super" human.
And with conscience clauses for medical professionals under attack, doctors and nurses may be unable to morally object to genetically altering their perfectly healthy patient or a parent's perfectly healthy child.
It is important for Catholics to not turn their backs on technical advancements in biotechnology simply because the advancements are complex.
We can still influence the public consciousness when it comes to human genetic engineering. We are obliged to loudly draw the line between therapy and enhancement — otherwise, society, like Frum, will confuse the two.
It is not too late to make sure medically relevant genetic engineering does not turn into engineering that forever changes the nature of man.

|What they did was sneaky, mean, conniving and underhanded. I have to say, I admire it!
|—Toralei Stripe in "Ghouls Rule"
Toralei Stripe is a 2011/2017-introduced and all-around character. She is a werecat and a student at Monster High. Her best friends in life, to the point that they, for all intents and purposes are sisters, are Meowlody and Purrsephone. Toralei usually functions as the leader of their group and together the trio are some of the worst sources of trouble at the school. Toralei is a definite mean girl, who delights in bringing others misery, but she also has a soft spot for those in need, finding no satisfaction in bringing down someone who already is down. It is in this crucial way she differs from her pseudo-friend Nefera de Nile. Many of Toralei's acts are a form of revenge, even if she is the party that is wrong. She is easily hurt when people so much as imply they don't want to associate with her and her retaliation often vastly outweighs the slight. Toralei is currently in a relationship with Rocco.
As of 2016, her last name is no longer listed for some reason.
In the English cartoon, Toralei was voiced by America Young. By Adventures of the Ghoul Squad and the reboot or Generation 2, she is now voiced by Paloma Rodriguez.
In the Latin American version, she's voiced by Diana Jaramillo in volume 2, and by Analiz Sánchez since volume 3.
She has a cat-like attitude, and is self-assured, with a touch of a sarcastic purr. In "Scream Building", she stands up for the fearleaders when Cleo critiques them, but it seems like it was more about taking Cleo down a peg. She is an opportunist and a manipulator, whose clique of followers never speak for themselves and do her bidding. She causes a lot of trouble for the ghouls, whether it's by revealing their secret routine to their fearleading rivals, texting rumors about them or spreading dissent by playing to people's insecurities.
However, she shows a softer side to people in need of help, such as a troll named Teala, and Cleo de Nile when she was new to fearleading. In light of this, in the cartoon, she did actually do Lagoona a favor by forcing Gil to admit he lied and finally confront his parents about their judgmental views on salt monsters.
She is also willing to cooperate with other monsters, even those she dislikes, on occasion. For instance, Toralei plays on sports teams with the main ghouls in "Join the Scream", and shows very little animosity toward them, demonstrating good sportsmanship and even enjoying the experience (though she opted not to join permanently, as she "isn't much of a joiner"). She also helps with the fundraiser in the Freak du Chic webisodes, performing as a tightrope walker. In "Great Scarrier Reef", she eventually stood up for Lagoona before the performance, due to Kala's bullying. In "Lagoona Blue and the Great Sea Scarecation", Lagoona helps Toralei cope with her fear of water, and after learning of Lagoona's stage fright, Toralei fills in for her at the talent show and is the Blue family's dance coach.
Toralei also proved in "Monster Mashionals Part 2" that, while she is scheming and manipulating, she is also honest. While she will always do her best to come out on top, she feels that victory is pointless if it is earned by cheating.
Toralei is also shown as athletic, as seen in the webisode "Join the Scream".
Despite not being able to sing in "Boo York", she is featured as a Fierce Rockers doll with Catty.
Toralei has orange tannish skin (or fur), with a darker orange spot around her eye. She has dark orange tiger stripes running up her right arm and left leg and four on her face. Her hair is styled in an asymmetrical bob, and is dark orange with black stripes on her bangs in the webisodes; however in the merchandise, the part of her bangs with the stripes is a lighter orange. Her signature outfit consists of a deep pink tiger-striped mini dress with a black, open studded mini jacket over it, an orange scarf around her neck, reddish-orange biker gloves, a yellow belt around her waist with a Monster High logo-stamped buckle, black leggings with deep pink tears, and open-toed shoes with deep pink laces and wedges.
In Generation 2, she still maintains her signature appearance and outfit remains the same, but her leggings are longer and cut down to her ankles. She also has no bangs and her hair is slightly longer, sometimes having it in a ponytail. Her fur is also lighter.
Toralei is a cat creature, and therefore holds many abilities that she shares with the actual feline.
- Feline Instincts: Toralei will at times be compelled by certain catlike instincts, which can or not be an ability at times, including extending or retracting claws and fear canines.
- Athleticism: Like all were-beasts (except Clawdia Wolf), Toralei is very athletic.
- Agility: As a werecat, Toralei has an increased agility and flexibility being swift and fast and always landing on her feet, which comes in handy when you're a cheerleader.
- Voice Impersonation: Toralei has the ability to mimic voices with ease, which she uses in her mischief.
- Dancer: She is also a skilled dancer, as shown when she coaches Lagoona's family.
According to her 'Campus Stroll' diary, she lives in a steady household with two loving parents (although these are her adoptive parents). Five older siblings are mentioned in "The Nine Lives of Toralei", with her being the runt, meaning she is a sextuplet. She spent most of her life on the street due to being abandoned as a baby. She was arrested for juvenile delinquency and sent to the pound with the Werecat Twins. The three were later given the chance to enroll at Monster High, which they accepted.
It is unknown what happened to Toralei's birth parents, but her siblings were adopted by another monster family.
Along with Toralei's introduction in "Scream Building" came the introduction of the twin cat girls Meowlody and Purrsephone, whom Toralei in her 'Campus Stroll' diary describes to be like sisters to her. She has made enemies of many of the Monster High ghouls, declaring Cleo an enemy in "Witch Trials" after she wasn't reinstated on the squad, and causing trouble for the team during their fearleading camp and trials. In "Queen of the Scammed" she texted everyone that Cleo and the squad are going to stay overnight at Monster High on Friday the 13th. But they fail when the ghouls stay overnight. One fact is for sure: she's definitely not friends with Cleo de Nile.
According from Cleo's 'School's Out' diary reveals that Toralei and the werecat sisters are on the squad because of her older sister Nefera and is apparently still in touch with her, the diary also states that Nefera is a "cat person" which may extend their acquaintanceship, since cats are considered sacred in Egypt.
In the webisode "The Nine Lives of Toralei", she seems to be friends with Spectra because she makes a news segment on her. At the end of the webisode, Toralei states that she loves the segment.
There is a possibility she's friends with Frankie, seeing how often Frankie's nice to her. TV specials with such examples include Freaky Fusion and Great Scarrier Reef. Although Toralei has taken advantage of Frankie sometimes.
Howleen Wolf is also on the soccer team with her.
Toralei's pet is a female saber-toothed tiger cub, named Sweet Fangs.
Toralei is in a relationship with Rocco from Granite City High. Supposedly, their mutual penchant for playing dirty if that's what it takes to win is what attracts them to each other. But in the "A Night in Scare-adise: Prom 2014" dance, Jackson took her not caring about how she tried to ruin the dance and as what Clawdeen said she looked happy when they were dancing.
In the film Welcome to Monster High one of the Zomboyz from Moanica D'Kay's army attempts to flirt with her, and she seems to not mind it.
While she did originally show interest in Kieran Valentine due to their shared love of scheming, she was upset with him after he used her as a shield to avoid being splashed himself.
Volume 3
In "Scare-born Infection" after Jackson passes the cooties to Cleo, Clawdeen tells her to pass them to Toralei. After she has the cooties, Purrsephone and Meowlody back away remarking they are supposed to be her best friends and gets sad, Frankie then ask her to give her the cooties and she passes them to her without question.
TV specials
In "Fright On!", Toralei was seen only at the beginning, taunting the ghouls as usual. She was later seen at the party, dancing with Dee O'Gee after stealing him from a backgrouder girl.
Toralei took her usual role of antagonist in "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?" after not being invited to Draculaura's Sweet 1600. She took this to heart and, after overhearing Draculaura's story about Valentine, invited him back to Monster High by using her uncanny ability to mimic. The two schemed to destroy Draculaura and Clawd's relationship, Toralei willing to go at any cost but eventually being thwarted in the end, facing even more humiliation after the ghouls splashed mud all over her.
Toralei did not have much of a part in Escape From Skull Shores, seeing as she only was seen at the carnival, at which she fell in a pit of tar.
And, in "Ghouls Rule", Toralei did not play a main role, so to speak, but she did help her fellow students get back at the normies for what they did to the school.
In Freaky Fusion, Toralei went with the ghouls to Hexiciah Steam's lab. She activated the Time Teleporter, which throws the ghouls back in time to the year 1814. On the way back, she is fused together with Cleo, both of which were mortified.
In "Boo York, Boo York", Toralei is invited to Boo York by Nefera. Toralei assists Nefera in her scheme to get Cleo and Seth Ptolemy together. After using the broken piece of the Comet to take Seth and Catty's voice, Nefera trusted Toralei to get rid of it and Toralei agreed to the deal. But Toralei gets another idea on her way and uses the voices inside to perform on Bloodway, until the ghouls stop her and get the Comet back.

Solid Wood Kitchen Doors
To put it simply, deTerra wooden kitchen doors are deTerribly nice. The range is made from 100% solid oak - nothing else - but available for similar prices to the chipboard centre-panelled doors you'll find on the market: a killer combo.
We offer these ab fab frontals in two styles - and good luck choosing between them, because we can't! The 'Shaker' design is gorgeous and subtle, a perfect homage to the ever-popular Shaker tradition, whereas 'Traditional' is classic country, all textured and timeless, perfect for those wanting a 'natural kitchens' look.
When it comes to finishes, it's your choice - do you fancy hand finished (in scrummy Farrow & Ball paint), lacquered or sanded? If hand finished oak kitchen cupboard doors are your bag, we offer an ace range of 'Top Picks', but can also complete your cabinet frontals in any bespoke colour from the F&B range. If lacquered kitchen unit doors are the doors for you, we can finish the oak in the same natural lacquered sheen as our cabinets - stain resistant, silky smooth, stunning. Or if you've got a hankering to get your DIY on and finish the doors yourself, we can whizz your doors over in an untreated state (simply sanded).
All doors are constructed from ever-so-lovely solid oak centre panels with perfectly proportioned solid oak frames, with sizes varying slightly depending on the door option (Traditional lacquered frames measure 90mm with a gorgeous bit of beading; Traditional sanded or painted frames measure 106mm, ditto with the gorge beading; and all Shaker frames measure 100mm). Please note that for uniformity of grain, our 'lacquered' doors have veneer center panels (with solid oak frames).
And to top it off, if you purchase your solid oak kitchen doors with cabinets, you get some nifty Blum™ BLUMOTION™ soft-close hinges thrown in. We recommend that our frontals are provided pre-drilled (unless you choose otherwise) so that they are ready to easily install on site - easy peasy!
deTerra Top Picks
Our 'Top Picks' is made up of our favourite finishes, including sanded and lacquered options along with some happening hues from Farrow & Ball. Doors in each of these finishes are in stock and available with a short lead time - simply select your desired finish for kitchen cabinetry that's bang on trend.
With this option, deTerra are granting you the right to go crazy for colour. Our bespoke service means that you can choose any shade from the Farrow & Ball collection - i.e. any colour your little heart desires, pretty much: there's loads of choice - and we'll hand finish your kitchen doors to suit.
If ordered without cabinets, our oak kitchen frontals will arrive without any pre-drilling so that you can choose which hinges you would like to fit. If you would like your frontals to accommodate the Blum™ BLUMOTION™ soft-close hinges we suppy, we can pre-drill the doors for a small fee - just select this option at the checkout, or let us know when you're placing an order.
Alternatively, we can provide a DIY hinge drilling machine that makes fitting your door hinges easy peasy. The same ingenious tool that we use right here at deTerra - the Blum EcoDrill - is now available for purchase or hire, and can be found on our EcoDrill page, which also contains more handy information about it. Things just got pretty exciting, right!?
A little note: if you order cabinets and doors from deTerra, they are delivered pre-assembled as standard, and are supplied with Blum hinges when purchased together. If you decide to purchase cabinet frontals by themselves, hinges are not included.
