In defense of desk rage
By Jonathan David Morris
My local news station recently did a piece on something called "desk rage," which is apparently supposed to be like road rage, only at work instead of on the roads.
According to the reporter, desk rage can manifest in several ways: aggression; poor productivity; abuse of sick days; stealing supplies; and irritability or depression.
My problem with this report isn't that it's untrue. It's that they say it like it's a bad thing.
Workers are being aggressive towards each other? Slacking off? Stealing? Abusing sick days? Great! I've always felt the desk job environment is unnatural -- even inhuman. What this news tells me is thousands of fellow human beings believe it's unnatural and even inhuman, too.
Take poor productivity, for instance. The very tone of the phrase, "poor productivity," strikes me as negative spin.
When was the last time you got a new job? How much did your new employer pay you? Most companies want to pay their employees the least amount of money they're willing to work for. This isn't because those companies are devious cheapskates; it's just the basic idea behind having employees.
Poor productivity is the same thing in reverse. Employees are extracting the most amount of money from the least amount of work. This is a bad thing? Why? The time and energy you save just from being inefficient are like money in the bank. After all, time is money. Wise employees turn a profit by paying themselves in time.
Then there's abuse of sick days. Who's really abusing sick days here?
Some companies are quite generous with their sick day policies. Others offer employees as little as five or fewer sick days per year. Both of these situations are equally ridiculous, because both are based on the flimsy idea that you can guess ahead of time how many days out of 365 you'll be sick.
Since sick days are paid days off, you'd be a sucker for letting those days run out at the end of the year. Companies shouldn't staff themselves with suckers. They should staff themselves with people who call out sick even when they aren't.
Anytime you use a sick day, you're basically saying, "Hey! This is why you hired me."
Finally, this brings me to stealing supplies. I can't endorse embezzlement or skimming a bit off the top of petty cash here. But if we're talking about little more than paperclips, ballpoint pens, and Post-It Notes, where's the problem?
The real workplace thievery takes place when you get a bonus check and find fully half of your earnings taken out for taxes.
Maybe that bonus was your paper clip money, but you can't afford paperclips because of taxes now. What are you supposed to do -- continue living a paperclip-less existence? Wouldn't that in some way be bad for the economy?
The way I figure, there are two kinds of people who end up holding desk jobs. The kind who want to hold desk jobs, and the kind who hold desk jobs because holding desk jobs is what people in their social class are supposed to do. The second group outnumbers the first by roughly the same margin as bosses outnumber employees.
This is why most people work 9-to-5 jobs that in no way, shape, or form resemble what they want to get out of life. And this is why repressive work environments turn ordinarily fun, happy people into aggressive, irritable, and possibly depressed white collar workers.
The only way to survive this world is to make the most of it. And the only way to make the most of it is to make it work for you.
Anything less would be unnatural.

The iPhone 5 might be the world's most anticipated smartphone, but we suspect there are a few ways in which the Nokia Lumia 920 might have it beat.
The camera
The Lumia 920 sports what looks like a fantastic camera. Sure, 8MP is pretty standard in terms of sensor size, but it's other things that make it noteworthy: the floating optical image stabilisation to combat shaky hand syndrome and improve the sharpness of low light photography, not to mention the bright F2.0 aperture. Obviously details of the iPhone 5's camera are still under wraps, but we reckon it'll do well to beat the Lumia 920's snapper.
Wireless charging
While wireless charging for phones isn't a new concept (remember the Palm Pre?), it's never really enjoyed support from the big manufacturers. That's changed with the Nokia Lumia 920: now there's a premium smartphone with built-in wireless charging. Apple is certainly toying with the concept of cable-free battery replenishment, but the feeling is that it won't come on the iPhone 5 – which is strongly rumoured to have a new smaller dock connector.
Will the iPhone 5 have NFC? Some think it will, some say it won't. The Nokia Lumia 920 certainly does have it, and it's useful for more than merely paying for things. NFC works to painlessly pair the phone with the JBL speaker and headphones, for instance – much easier than faffing around with Bluetooth.
Battery life
The Lumia 920 boasts a mighty 2000mAh battery, which should keep the phone going for a long old stretch. Any iPhone owner knows that it's all too easy to deplete the battery, especially if you're hammering 3G, so the 4G-toting iPhone 5 will need a pretty capacious power source on it.
The iPhone 5 will likely beat the Lumia 920's display when it comes to pixel density, but Nokia has delivered a fantastic screen on its flagship phone. Not only is it beautifully bright, crisp and reportedly clearly visible in bright sunlight, it also works with gloved fingers – will the iPhone 5's do that? We'll have to wait and see.

Have you tried cookie butter yet? It is also called Speculoos cookie butter. It is the consistency of peanut butter but tastes like spice cookies. It is amazing! I have wanted to try it in my recipes for a couple of years now but it just doesn't last that long at my house.
I recently bought some and had to hide it just so it would still be there when I went to bake. Yes, it's that good. School is almost out for the summer here and I wanted to use the cookie butter for an end of year treat. I needed to bake something that the kids could take in their lunches or they could grab as a snack.
I decided to make some cookie butter blondies with chocolate chips and pecans. I'm from Texas and we eat a lot of pecans. Back in 1919, somebody decided we needed a state nut and pecans were voted in. Yippee! I am so glad too because they are yummy! And when you combine them with chocolate in a cookie butter blondie, they knock your socks off!
Give them a try if you can get hold of some cookie butter long enough to bake with it. Lol!
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cups unsalted butter room temperature
1/2 cup cookie butter
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup pecan pieces
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line a 9 x 9 inch square baking pan with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper.
3. In a stand mixer, combine first four dry ingredients. Mix on low until combined.
4. Add butter, cookie butter, and eggs and mix on low until combined.
5. Stir in chocolate and pecans.
6. Place batter in prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool.
7. Lift out of pan with foil or parchment paper and cut into squares. Enjoy!

I am a 32 year old PHP developer, living and working in the North East of England. I have just over eight years professional experience. Coming from a background in IT has helped me as a developer as I have been able to setup my own web servers. I have been interested in web development and all things technology since I was a child. I have been doing PHP code since the age of 12 and professionally since the age of 24.
Xbox Colors
Xbox Colors was a small personal project I started to allow users to change their Xbox Dashboard colors to any 3 chosen colors, not just the palettes provided by Microsoft. It was also a nice oppertunity for me to play a little more with VueJS outside of thow away projects, and internal micro services within my day job.
MyGamerProfile.net is a project I started contributing on in mid 2013. I started with just helping with code snippets to assist in issues the developer was having at the time. During this time I struck up a good friendly relationship with the owners and have since became good friends and a main developer on the project. This is an ongoing project and due to an ourstanding NDA I am unable to talk more about this.
XboxAPI is a personal project I started back in 2012. I had the code to login to xbox.com for years and wanted to make use of it. The site was origionally written in Codeigniter and would login to xbox.com to get gamers information to use on various sites. Since then the site has been re-written in Laravel 4 and now is using an undocumented API provided by Microsoft.

The Pokémon franchise first reached the United States of America in 1998 with the release of Pokémon Red and Blue Versions and the airing of the anime. Most English translations of Pokémon media are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.
Pokémon video games
Most Pokémon video games released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games. All English-language games are exported to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as Latin America and Brazil). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, Nintendo's subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to The Pokémon Company International.
All Pokémon games released on the Switch since Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.
Pokémon anime
The Pokémon anime debuted in the United States on September 7, 1998 with the sneak preview debut of Battle Aboard the St. Anne, which helped launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by 4Kids Entertainment and later by The Pokémon Company International*. All of the English anime voice acting is based in New York, due to the lower dubbing cost.
While the Pokémon movies are regularly released theatrically in Japan, only the first five movies, the 13th movie, the Zekrom variant of the 14th movie, the 20th movie, and the 21st movie have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television (usually on Cartoon Network) and released straight to video or DVD.
Kids' WB
Kids' WB is a former programming block that was broadcast on The WB television network, and later, as a result of a merge between the WB and UPN, on The CW. The initial run of the block was from 1995-2008, and it aired (at various stages) both before and after school, and also on Saturday mornings. Kids' WB, in its original form, shut down on May 17, 2008. Prior to its closure, it was relaunched as an online video on demand service.
Kids' WB aired episodes from the original 4Kids Entertainment dub of the Pokémon anime from 1999 until 2006. The first episode aired was The Problem with Paras, on February 13, 1999. The network aired the remainder of the first season, and every other non-banned episode through season eight. Warner Bros. also released the first three Pokémon movies under the Kids' WB name.
On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, Destiny Deoxys. It was also first to air the 10th anniversary Pokémon special, The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, on April 29, 2006, even before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by The Pokémon Company International (then known as Pokémon USA), as well as being the only time Kids' WB aired the new dub by Pokémon USA. Along with the special, a promotional sweepstakes was run by Kids' WB to win tenth anniversary related merchandise.
In 2006, before any more Pokémon USA episodes could be aired, the network announced that most non-Warner Bros. related shows would be dropped from the lineup. This meant that Pokémon, among other shows, would no longer be aired on Kids' WB. The series would eventually move to Cartoon Network, which at the time was owned by TimeWarner via its' Turner Broadcasting division, managed by Ted Turner, on September 8th.
On October 2, 2007, it was announced that the Kids' WB block would end in September the following year. Management stated that this was because of the effects of children's advertising limits and competition from cable TV channels. In an ironic twist, the block was sold to 4Kids, who had previously acquired the Fox Kids block, rebranding it as Fox Box and then 4Kids TV. Fox Broadcasting Company ended their relationship with 4Kids in December 2008, and as of 2010, used the old slot to allow affiliates to use for news or E/I programming, save for two hours called Fox Marketplace, in essence a block of Infomercials.
The last time Kids' WB aired was, contrary to earlier reports, May 17, 2008. After this date, the block was renamed as The CW4Kids. Kids' WB was relaunched as an online video on demand service, which was launched on April 28, 2008. Pokémon is not included on the list of available titles, but episodes are available on demand via the USA Pokémon.com web portal. Seven years later, Kids' WB was subsequently shut down and was split up into Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, and DC Universe websites, effectively retiring the Kids' WB name after almost 20 years.
Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network is a cable network owned by WarnerMedia that previously carried the Pokémon anime meta series. The channel was launched on October 1, 1992 after Turner purchased the animation studio Hanna-Barbera in 1991. They started with Pokémon: Battle Frontier on September 8, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling Kids' WB dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house, which had since been taken over by 4Kids Entertainment, the former producer of the anime series.
Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as Master Quest. Almost every season through Pokémon the Series: XYZ has aired on Cartoon Network. They have also aired all Pokémon Chronicles episodes during the summer of 2006. The series no longer airs on the network as of 2018 due to Disney XD obtaining airing rights of the anime. Their sibling network Boomerang aired episodes from the original series, the Advanced Generation series and the Diamond & Pearl series.
Cartoon Network tends to marginalize end credits—replacing the original ending with their own generic credits while running a promo. This is not a very big loss for anime episodes, which have rather unremarkable ending sequences in the dub, unless the credits break away from the current format, such as in Till We Compete Again!. However, by extension, this means that the credits of Pokémon movies aired on the channel, which contain an epilogue, are missed, to the chagrin of viewers. Occasionally, the credits are simply sped up. Also, when the thirteenth movie first aired on the channel, several scenes were omitted, which TPCi did not appreciate.
On their website, Cartoon Network featured several online games featuring Pokémon characters.
Toonami is an extension of Cartoon Network. It formerly aired Pokémon Chronicles and, after Kids' WB stopped airing new episodes of the anime, Battle Frontier.
From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded Toonami on Kids' WB, making this period the first instance of Pokémon on Toonami.
The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008. Although the Toonami block itself ended, the block's streaming-video service Toonami Jetstream, which showed episodes from various arcs of Pokémon anime, continued operations until January 30, 2009. After nearly four years of being off the year in the US, Toonami later returned on the air on May 26, 2012, but now on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late-night programming block. This was done by popular demand after an April Fools stunt.
Toonami Jetstream
Toonami Jetstream was a streaming video service run by Cartoon Network and VIZ Media to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day. The service launched on July 17, 2006. The service remained online even after its parent programming block, Toonami, ended on September 20, 2008. On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows. Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. Cartoon Network Video, Toonami Jetstream's former sister service, became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service at the time Jetstream shut down. The Pokémon anime did not initially migrate over to Cartoon Network Video, but would do so a few months after Jetstream's shutdown.
The third season of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the Johto Journeys banner. The first episode offered on the service was The Pokémon Water War. The last episode under this classification, The Fortune Hunters, debuted on Jetstream on October 1, 2007.
Pokémon Chronicles also debuted on Toonami Jetstream on October 9, 2006. The first episode of the side series offered on the service was part 1 of The Legend of Thunder!. The final episode, Pikachu's Winter Vacation: Christmas Night/Kanga Games, debuted on the service on March 5, 2007.
The fourth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on May 28, 2007 under the Johto League Champions banner. A Goldenrod Opportunity was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, Machoke, Machoke Man!, debuted on Jetstream on May 27, 2008.
The first season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on January 14, 2008 under the Pokémon banner as part of a special offering involving Pokémon Snap. Pokémon Paparazzi was the first episode offered under that classification. This classification never saw a regular progression.
The fifth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on June 16, 2008 under the Master Quest banner. Around the Whirlpool was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, Some Like It Hot, debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009. This classification was the only one featured in the Top 10 format prior to the service's shutdown.
The ninth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on November 17, 2008 under the Battle Frontier banner. Fear Factor Phony was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, Reversing the Charges, debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009.
Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday is a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows on Toonami Jetstream, new Pokémon episodes in currently-running seasons debuted every week and remained available on Toonami Jetstream for six weeks after they debuted on the service.
Toonami Jetstream also offered short previews of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Two Degrees of Separation!, and The Rise of Darkrai prior to their television debuts.
To celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on the Virtual Console, Pokémon.com have announced that episodes featuring Todd Snap will be offered for one week later in December. That method was scrapped in favor of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal Johto League Champions progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 2008, January 22, 2008, and January 28, 2008.
The Todd version of Todd Snap's Kanto episodes are the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appears to go with the retcon of making Snap his surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.
Cartoon Network Video
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming video service run by Cartoon Network to provide animated programs 24 hours a day. The service launched on September 22, 2006. Originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream, which had long offered the Pokémon anime, Cartoon Network Video became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service after Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. The Pokémon anime debuted on the service on May 15, 2009.
The first classification used for the Pokémon anime on Cartoon Network Video is DP: Galactic Battles, not appearing to follow any specific season unlike when the Pokémon anime ran on Toonami Jetstream. The first episode offered on the service was Get Your Rotom Running! The final episode uploaded with the banner displaying Galactic Battles was Gotta Get a Gible!, uploaded on May 17, 2010.
On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons including the entirety of season two, listed under the names of the first two arcs Indigo League and Adventures in the Orange Islands, were made available on the service, arranged as subclassifications under the show's banner (which still lists Galactic Battles). Unlike Galactic Battles, the episodes from the first two episodes are divided by season, but under the name of one of the arcs, meaning season two episodes from the Indigo League arc are classified under the Adventures in the Orange Islands classification. This is similar to how the last 11 episodes of the second arc, which are also the first 11 episodes of the third season, were available on Toonami Jetstream under the third arc's name.
On February 1, 2010, a fourth subclassification under the show's banner was added to house season three, listed under the name "The Johto Journeys"; only one episode was made available that day, The Pokémon Water War. However, this addition may have been in error, as both the classification and the episode were removed a few days later. The classification was later re-added two months later with the entire third season included, but the episodes in the classification were not working for many users, and the classification was once again taken down the following month.
On June 5, 2010, the banner depiction for Pokémon on Cartoon Network Video was switched to the new classification of DP: Sinnoh League Victors, carrying over all content that had been classified under the previous arc's name.
Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). The newest episodes were currently made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remain on the service for two weeks. More recently, however, episodes have been uploaded later than previously and remain available for only one week.
After a site revamp in October 2009, Cartoon Network Video uses a dedicated 16:9 widescreen video player. A lot of content originally produced in 16:9 widescreen, including all Pokémon episodes starting with Classroom Training, are shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio an episode showed in on Cartoon Network's standard-definition television feed, but content originally produced in 4:3 fullscreen, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, are stretched to fill the 16:9 frame in a process similar to Stretch-o-Vision.
The Todd versions of the episodes Todd Snap appears in are the ones used on Cartoon Network Video; the same was true when shown on Toonami Jetstream. Additionally, any episode that involves the Orange Archipelago in any way, shape, or form uses the theme presented from televised airings, meaning Pokémon World is first used with The Lost Lapras on Cartoon Network Video with Pokémon Theme used for the three episodes prior.
Boomerang is a cable network owned by WarnerMedia, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang primarily airs contemporary cartoons from WarnerMedia's archival history such as Looney Tunes, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, newer series that do not air on Cartoon Network, such as the current Warner Bros. Animation shows, well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on Wikipedia. Boomerang was launched shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block on the network, and was not spun off into a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time.
Boomerang first started airing episodes of the popular Pokémon series when it first aired the original series in 2006, and after that in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel aired episodes from EP001 to DP191. Prior to 2017, episode were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM ET/PT (5 and 5:30 PM CT) on weekdays.
Boomerang previously aired the banned episode Holiday Hi-Jynx.
In January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was be relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort in an effort to original programming for the first time. The relaunched channel continues to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly family-friendly approach, in the hopes that Boomerang could become a "second flagship" on par with the main Cartoon Network channel.
Due to Disney XD obtaining airing rights to the Pokémon anime, it no longer airs on Boomerang as of February 2017.
Toon Disney
Toon Disney was an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, Disney Channel). It was owned by The Walt Disney Company, who also owned the Miramax Films film studio during the period of the channel's existence. Its programming was aimed at 2-11 year olds.
Toon Disney had shown the Pokémon motion pictures distributed in the United States by Miramax: Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, Jirachi: Wish Maker, and Destiny Deoxys. On February 13, 2009, Toon Disney was succeeded by Disney XD, a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14.
Disney XD
Disney XD is a cable network geared towards boys ages 6-14 owned by The Walt Disney Company that acquired airing rights to the Pokémon anime, beginning with the Sun & Moon series. The channel was launched on February 13, 2009, replacing Toon Disney. They began airing the anime with a marathon including Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, Alola to New Adventure!, and The Guardian's Challenge! on December 5, 2016.
Currently, reruns of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon air every day at 4:00 PM ET/PT (3:00 PM CT). They have also previously aired Genesect and the Legend Awakened, Spell of the Unown, and I Choose You!. Episodes from the original, Advanced Generation, Diamond & Pearl, Best Wishes, XY, and Sun & Moon series can also be streamed through the DisneyNOW app or Watch Disney XD website.
Unlike Cartoon Network, Disney XD carries the Latin American Spanish dub through the second audio program (SAP) channel or a separate channel carrying the Spanish audio feed, depending on the provider.
Other video streaming
The Pokémon anime is available on Pokémon TV, Amazon Video, Google Play, Hulu, iTunes and Hoopla, which are video streaming sites available in the United States. Starting on October 14, 2016, episodes of the Diamond & Pearl series were made available on XFINITY On Demand in both English and Spanish.[1] It is also on demand through Kabillion.[2]
Additionally, it was announced by Netflix that the Pokémon anime would be available through their paid on-demand service beginning from March 1, 2014. Currently, the first, twentieth, and twenty-first seasons, along with the twentieth movie, are available for streaming.
Pokémon manga
VIZ Media, based out of San Francisco, California, has licensed and translated several Pokémon manga titles in the United States, including Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!, movie manga adaptations, and the popular Pokémon Adventures series.
Pokémon Trading Card Game
An English-language translation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game has been sold in the United States since the release of Base Set in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.
Pokémon merchandise
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by Hasbro. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to Jakks Pacific, which produced their own merchandise as well. As of January 2013, merchandise has been handled by Takara Tomy and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable.
The United States is home to the only North American Pokémon Center stores, with one store operating in New York City, New York (now Nintendo New York) and two mall kiosks in Washington state. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of event Pokémon, and other incentives such as promotional cards from the Trading Card Game.
Promotional tours include the Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour, the Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour, Pokémon Rocks America, Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America, and the Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour.
The World Championships have been held by Play! Pokémon (formerly Pokémon Organized Play) annually in the United States since 2004. So far, only one World Championship has been held outside of the United States, which was the 2013 World Championships in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions series of concerts has been touring the United States since 2014. The United States was the first country the concerts appeared in.

TurnKey 12.1 is out and it's the first 64-bit maintenance release to be built with tkldev - TurnKey's shiny new open appliance build system in a box.
With 64-bit support out the door, we've also pushed out a round of updates to the Hub so that users can finally deploy TurnKey on all instance sizes.
I usually get excited when adding new features to the TurnKey Hub. Recent excitement included server monitoring, reserved instances, domain management, and the Hub API.
I'm very excited about todays annoucement, not only is it awesomely useful, it's also technically cool!
Ladies and gentle geeks, I'm proud to announce we've just pushed out 100% free basic server monitoring to all TurnKey Hub accounts. This should make it easier to keep tabs on the health and performance of your cloud servers. Existing Hub users don't need to do anything to enjoy this new feature. It just works.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the server dashboard now includes thumbnail graphs of CPU utilization, disk IO and network traffic for the last hour:
In response to user demand on the forum we've added Hub support for Amazon EC2 reserved instances.
Reserved instances are an Amazon EC2 feature that allows you to reserve server capacity up to 3 years in advance by paying a low one-time fee.
I started writing a review for cloudtask as a comment on the announcement, but decided it would be better to address a topic that was raised by Jeremiah when we launched the Hub API:
The cloud. Isn't that just a new name everyone on the latest hype bandwagon is slapping on the same old stuff? Yes. Or rather, at least the way some clueless marketing types are using it that is. With so much smoke you'd forgive the cynics for thinking there's no fire. But... there are a few genuinely interesting things an IT guy can do today that just weren't practical a few years back.
We just updated the web site and the TurnKey Hub with the new TurnKey 11.2 maintenance release, which includes:
Recently I've been looking into a powerful but complex web application technology we're considering using in future versions of the Hub.
The problem: how do we update a browser view when a background process updates the database?
A few examples of places in the Hub where this comes up...
A while ago I was chatting with Liraz and said "wouldn't it be great if when launching a cloud server the Hub would perform some magic and assign the server a friendly name? I'm tired of remembering IP addresses, and logging into our DNS management console to setup records."
Then we thought, "lets make DNS easy, lets make it TurnKey". So we did...
No matter your use case, we got you covered:

My daughter has had various sitters, but not having had to use 'sitters' for a while my daughter was rather anxious at having someone she didn't know. However, Patricia was very relaxed and soon my daughter was settled and waving me out the door, going to bed with no issue and Patricia sent me a text letting me know what was happening.. My daughters reaction the following day.."Patricia is really nice and friendly, I'd happily have her look after me again!"..so a very happy child and mum!!!
Selda was wonderful with our 15 month old boy. She arrived early and our son took to her immediately. Her calm and friendly nature was immediately reassuring. She played games with him and kept us updated with texts and video. Came home to find them playing games together and our son completely engaged in the activity. We could not be happier and we would be delighted to have her look after him again.
Carol is so lovely, clearly very experienced with children and also loves animals, which is great for us with a dog in the house! I was anxious before going out as it was the first time i had to leave someone else to put my one year old to bed. Carol handled the situation with ease and quickly put my mind at rest. I would like to have Carol as preference number 1 please for all future sittings.

DENVER (AP) Kenneth Faried scored 19 points and grabbed 19 rebounds to help the Denver Nuggets rally for a 108-105 win over the slumping Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.
Ty Lawson also finished with 19 points, including a three-point play with 1:27 remaining that gave the Nuggets the lead for good and sent them to their third straight win.
Orlando just can't get on track since Glen Davis went out with a sprained left shoulder, dropping a 10th straight game in the big man's absence. He currently isn't with the team but it was hoped he might rejoin them at some point during the current four-game trip.
Trailing by nine early in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets roared back and tied the game at 99 on an alley-oop dunk by Faried. But the high-energy forward wasn't done there.
When Andre Iguodala missed a free throw on the next possession, Faried dove on the ground for the loose ball and scooped it up, quickly calling time out.
Out of the break, Lawson hit a layup and was fouled. Moments later, Danilo Gallinari put the finishing touches on the win with a dunk off an inbound pass from Andre Miller.
Jameer Nelson led the Magic with 20 points, while Arron Afflalo added 12 against his former team before fouling out late in the game. Reserve Corey Brewer gave the Nuggets an early spark, scoring 11 of his 16 points in the second quarter when the team was struggling.
Afflalo returned to the court against his former team to applause - at least for introductions. Soon after that he was treated like any other opposing player and constantly heckled. When Afflalo made his first basket, someone screamed, ``Who?!''
Afflalo was once a fan favorite, too, especially after signing a long-term contract. But the Nuggets saw an opportunity to upgrade the squad in the offseason and dealt Afflalo, along with Al Harrington, to Orlando as part of the blockbuster deal that landed Dwight Howard with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In exchange, Denver wound up with Iguodala, who hit a big 3-pointer late when the Magic were threatening to pull away. The Nuggets also tried to pick up big man Nikola Vucevic in the deal, but team executive Masai Ujiri couldn't get him included in the trade.
Vucevic showed Nuggets fans why he was so coveted, scoring 10 points and grabbing 14 rebounds for the Magic. He also missed a dunk late in the game before fouling out.
Seeing Afflalo leave town was difficult for Nuggets coach George Karl, who constantly relied on the guard's easygoing demeanor during Afflalo's three seasons in Denver.
Said Karl before the game: ``Someone taught (Afflalo) at a very early age that winning is why you play. It's very deep in his basketball soul. You play the game to win. It's not numbers. It's not stats. It's to win.''
The Magic built a 10-point lead in the first half, only to have the Nuggets tie it. Maurice Harkless managed to send the Magic into the locker room at the break with a 55-53 lead when he hit a layup in the final seconds.
Asked before the game if he was sweating the losing streak, coach Jacque Vaughn turned into a philosopher.
``To be able to fight adversity and see how you respond is a true test of a man's character, which ultimately is his destiny,'' Vaughn said. ``That is who you are. Life is what you make of it. That is your own destiny. It's a great opportunity to forge your own destiny.''
NOTES: A longtime coach in Seattle, Karl has strong feelings about an NBA team potentially returning to that area. According to an Associated Press source, an investor contacted the Maloof family about buying the Sacramento Kings, setting up the possibility of a return to Seattle. ``I'm not going to lie - I'm happy that Seattle is going to have a team more than Sacramento,'' Karl said. ``But I am disappointed that Sacramento can't keep their team.'' ... Nuggets F Wilson Chandler (left hip) could be back in the lineup as early as Sunday against Golden State. ... Miller drew a second-quarter technical foul while sitting on the bench when he kept arguing with the officials. ... Magic G J.J. Redick had 17 points.

Manikaran is a small town situated some 45 km from Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. Towards the northern side of Manikaran, there is the Harinder Mountain and on the south is the Parvati River. The place is very important and holy for both Sikhs and Hindus due to the gurudwaras and temples that dot Manikaran.
Manikaran or 'Jewel of the Ear' is often associated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and according to an epic story, a precious jewel of Goddess Parvati got swept away in the waters and Lord Shiva asked his attendants to find the jewel. When the jewel could not be found, that enraged Lord Shiva and his third eye opened that resulted in earthly turmoil in the waters, from where many precious stones came out. It is from this story that the place got its name.
The hot springs of Manikaran also attract a lot of tourists who come here to drink water or take a bath because there is a popular belief that, drinking water of this place will help people in attaining Moksha. The hot springs of Manikaran have uranium and other radioactive minerals which have curative properties.

Choosing an Ajax framework
Your customers won't have to fear Ajax if they have the right tools to work with. Help them determine which Ajax-specific framework, library or toolkit is best for them.
Despite Ajax' promises to meld the responsiveness of the desktop environment with the ubiquity and extensibility of the Web, many developers are reluctant to embrace this JavaScript- and XML-driven development technique because they must be able to write JavaScript -- a language that is notoriously difficult to write and debug.
To avoid direct interaction with JavaScript, your customers have some Ajax-specific frameworks, libraries or toolkits to choose from -- but which solution should you choose for a customer? AjaxPatterns.org lists over 150 projects across numerous categories, but the right tool depends upon their particular needs.
This tip introduces some of the key solutions and offers several examples to show the dramatic effect they can have on JavaScript integration.
Prototype is a framework capable of facilitating all manners of JavaScript development by extending the language with new syntax and features that render your development efforts much more efficient. Offering a Ruby-style syntax and a number of mechanisms for accessing and manipulating data structures (for instance, an Enumerable object is available), prototype is extraordinarily powerful and sets the standard for all other solutions.
The following example highlights prototype's excellent forms-handling capabilities, showing you how a text-field value can be made available to a JavaScript function using prototype syntax. From there, the email address can be transparently passed to the server for processing, validation, or any other purpose:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title>prototype - Form</title>     <form action="" method="post"> Email Address:
 <input type="text" id="text_email" name="email" />
 <input type="submit" id="butt_submit" value="Submit" onClick="processform();"> </form>
To retrieve the form value, all you need to do is pass the desired id into the $F() function, as shown above.
Click here for a demonstration of this script.
Of these specialized solutions, Scriptaculous, a library based on the aforementioned Prototype framework, is the most popular. Intended to render Ajax integration even easier, Scriptaculous offers a predefined selection of controls (such as sortable lists, draggable and droppable objects and autocompleting text fields); visual effects that can affect the opacity, position, size and other characteristics of DOM objects; and even tools for performing JavaScript unit testing.
Numerous high-profile Web sites depend on Scriptaculous, including Digg.com and Apple, as well as frameworks such as symfony and Ruby on Rails.
Scriptaculous' popularity can partially be attributed to its array of capabilities but perhaps even more so to its simplicity. For instance, suppose you wanted to create a mechanism for hiding part of a Web page at the user's discretion. One commonly used method is known as the "blind", due to its behavior which closely mimics that of a window blind.
The code involved in implementing this feature is amazingly simple, and is shown here:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title>Scriptaculous - Fade Out</title>   <link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

 username: <input type="text" name="username" size="15" maxlength="25" value=""> password: <input type="text" name="pswd" size="15" maxlength="25" value=""> <input type="submit" id="butt-login" value="login">

 Toggle Login Menu </login>
Click here for a demonstration of this script.
As you can see from this example, implementing the blind effect is as simple as triggering the Effect.toggle() function, passing in the DOM object id and the desired effect.
Another popular JavaScript-driven general solution is the dojo toolkit, which implements a wide variety of Ajax and JavaScript features.
Perhaps best known for the impressive number of widgets it provides, the dojo toolkit can create complex layouts and form controls closely resembling those found in the most advanced desktop applications. Functions are also available for tasks as disparate as cryptography, data validation, data structure manipulation and logging.
The following example demonstrates one of dojo's built-in widgets, the calendar. After reviewing the code, follow the link to the demonstration and play around with the widget by changing the month and year settings.

Atlas (ASP.NET Ajax)
For some time now, Microsoft has been touting the Atlas framework (which, true to Microsoft's fixation with renaming technologies, has recently been renamed ASP.NET AJAX). Atlas is Microsoft's freely available solution for building the next generation of Web applications using Ajax.
Although primarily intended to help ASP.NET developers easily integrate Ajax capabilities into their Web applications, this framework is split into two separate components: an ASP.NET extension that offers Ajax-oriented server controls (known as ASP.NET AJAX Extensions) and a 100% JavaScript-driven client-side library (known as the Microsoft AJAX Library). As a result, developers hailing from any language can take advantage of the client-side library.
Specialized solutions
A variety of specialized frameworks exist for carrying out specialized tasks, such as logging, Web services and Flash integration. For instance, log4javascript is a JavaScript-specific logging framework that can render your JavaScript debugging process far more efficient than the alert box.
Still other solutions are even more specialized. These solutions are powerful because they provide an immediate and highly configurable implementation of a desired feature. Take a moment to view a particularly impressive solution for image slide shows called jondesign's smooth slideshow.
Even if you're looking to deploy a very specific feature that would conceivably be also deployed on other sites, be sure to take a look around the Web for freely available solutions before building your own.
Server-side solutions
Numerous solutions can tightly integrate Ajax with developers' preferred server-side Web development language. For instance, AjaxPatterns lists 28 PHP-driven solutions, 34 Java-driven solutions and even one Lisp-specific solution.
Before seeking out one of these solutions, keep in mind that many frameworks (Ruby on Rails, symfony, and Catalyst, for instance) already offer Ajax and JavaScript solutions. Two particularly compelling PHP-specific solutions include the HTML_AJAX PEAR package, and xajax.
Solutions abound for minimizing the grief involved in incorporating JavaScript into your Web applications. Be sure to take some time to carefully weigh the options.

Liberty News
Dr. Ed Hindson named School of Religion dean
Liberty University has announced Dr. Ed Hindson as its new dean of the School of Religion. Hindson has served at Liberty for more than 20 years, including the past 14 years as a distinguished professor of religion.
"Dr. Ed Hindson brings to his deanship of the School of Religion a sterling reputation as one of seven distinguished professors at Liberty University, as a frequently published author, as a much-in-demand speaker in America's leading churches, and as one of Liberty's most perennially popular professors," said Dr. Ron Godwin, Liberty's provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs. "As a distinguished scholar with nationwide contacts, I anticipate Dr. Hindson will soon add a number of academicians of like reputation as the Liberty University School of Religion continues to grow."
Hindson replaces Dr. Elmer Towns as dean of the School of Religion.
Hindson holds three doctoral degrees: Doctor of Philosophy from the University of South Africa, Doctor of Ministry from Westminster Theological Seminary, and Doctor of Theology from Trinity Graduate School of Theology. He has master's degrees from Grace Theological Seminary (Th.M.) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A.). He is also a fellow of the International Biographical Association, Cambridge, England.
He first taught at Liberty from 1974-86, during which time he recorded the first class on tape for Liberty's then School of Lifelong Learning. That was an early offering of Liberty's innovative online education program, which this year alone will make higher education affordable and accessible to more than 90,000 individuals across the world.
Hindson returned to Liberty in 2000 after serving in a number of leadership roles in ministry and Christian education across America. He has spoken innumerable times in churches all over the country and has lectured at a number of prestigious universities, including Westminster Theological Seminary, Harvard Divinity School, and Oxford University's constituent Balliol College.
For the past 13 years, Hindson has been the featured speaker on "The King is Coming," an international television program. He has authored 40 books and is a winner of the Gold Medallion for excellence in Christian authorship. He has edited five study Bibles, including the Thomas Nelson King James Study Bible, the best-selling KJV study Bible in the world with more than 2 million copies sold.
As dean, Hindson intends to build upon the School of Religion's legacy of excellence and maintain its theological integrity. This includes challenging the existing faculty to help mentor younger faculty and continuously revising the curriculum to ensure relevance and employment value.
"I really believe in what the School of Religion means to the wider institution. The core competencies in Bible, theology, and evangelism have always been part of the real heart, passion, and soul of Liberty," Hindson said. "It has made us unique and distinct from many other Christian institutions.
"One of my goals is to make sure that we continue to maintain an effective, cooperative relationship between the School of Religion and Liberty's graduate and seminary programs, as well as with local churches, parachurch ministries, and missionary organizations in order to develop an even more extensive program of student internships and experience."

Well, it certainly feels like summer is over here in Ohio. The past few days have been pretty chilly, with highs in the low 60s and a crisp breeze in the air. Last week we had record highs in the upper 90s, so it's been a drastic shift here to say the least.
We stopped at my favorite little produce stand one last time the other day and loaded up on mounds of fresh tomatoes, basil, and melon.
And of course, Fall means back to school for a lot of kids. For us, it's the first year of preschool for my little boy. His first day was yesterday and I snapped this picture of him on our way in. Do you think he was a little bit excited?!
I'm working on a lot of big things this Fall, and I can't wait to tell you more about them! I'll share them with you as soon as I can. What kinds of things are you guys working on? I can't wait to hear what you all about that too!

Valentine Swans
YOU won't be sticking your neck out when you create the beloved bird here. It's sure to win the heart of everyone you serve it to! CT's kitchen staff shaped the sweet swan with meringue, chocolate mousse, whipped cream, almonds and a pool of cherry sauce. Since the confection is just the right size for one person, you can delight all of your guests with their own special treat. What's more, folks will never guess how easy this romantic recipe is to prepare. They'll be too busy enjoying it!
Total TimePrep: 1 hour Bake: 1-1/2 hours + cooling
Makes8 servings
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 slivered almonds
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) pitted tart cherries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- Red liquid food coloring
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- Meringue: In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, vanilla and salt, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved, about 8 minutes. Drop eight 1/4 cupfuls onto an ungreased parchment lined baking sheet. Shape each into a 4-in. long teardrop shell.
- Spoon remaining meringue into a pastry bag and cut a hole in the corner of bag. For swan necks, pipe eight 3-in. long question-mark shapes onto a second parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert a slivered almond in each for a beak.
- Bake teardrop shells at 225° for 30 minutes, then place meringue necks in oven and bake both the shells and necks 1 hour longer. Turn oven off. Let stand in oven for 1 hour. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- Mousse: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a small bowl. Beat in confectioners' sugar and cocoa until fluffy.
- Drain cherries, reserving juice. Chop cherries and gently fold into mousse. Refrigerate until assembling.
- Sauce: Combine the cornstarch, water, food coloring and reserved cherry juice in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil, then cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool.
- Topping: In a bowl, beat whipping cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Spoon 1/3 cup into a pastry bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of bag and set aside.
- Assembly: Spoon 1/4 cup chocolate mousse into each meringue shell. Referring to photo above for shape, carefully spread remaining topping over mousse and shell to form swan body. Insert sliced almonds for wings. Insert meringue neck.
- Place each swan on an individual serving plate. Spoon cherry sauce around swans. Pipe hearts in the sauce around swans with reserved topping.
Finished size: Swan is about 5-1/2 inches long x 3 inches wide.

Dublin, Ireland, Jan 16, 2013 / 02:06 am ().- A Jan. 19 pro-life vigil in Dublin aims to rally against the government's proposal to permit some abortions, warning that abortion advocates are blurring important moral distinctions in the debate.
"Time and again, when the distinction is made between current medical practice which cares for both the mother and baby and direct, intentional abortion, voters give their unambiguous support to pro-life laws," Caroline Simons, a legal consultant for the Pro Life Campaign, said in a Jan. 14 announcement.
She said the debate over the legalization of some abortions is a "defining moment for Ireland" and Irish people need to "make their voices heard loud and clear."
The rally will take place in Dublin's Merrion Square Saturday at 4:30 p.m. local time. A Dec. 4 rally outside of the Dáil Eireann in Dublin drew over 10,000 people.
Simons on Jan. 15 further explained that everyone agrees women must receive life-saving treatments even if it may lead to the unintentional death of the unborn baby.
"Where the disagreement arises is that some are skilfully but unfairly using the occasion to push for an abortion regime in Ireland and are blurring the distinction between necessary medical treatments and abortion," she said.
The Fine Gael party, which controls the Irish government, has said it will introduce legislation to legalize abortion where the mother's life is at risk. The proposal would conform Irish law to a December 2010 ruling from the European Court of Human Rights that called for a clarification of abortion's legal status in light of a 1992 Irish Supreme Court decision.
That decision said abortion must be permitted to save the life of a pregnant woman, including when she threatens suicide. Irish law was never changed to reflect the ruling.
Opponents of the proposed changes to abortion law say a possible exemption for suicide threats would effectively legalize abortion on demand. They support present Irish practice which distinguishes morally wrong direct abortion from medical treatments that may indirectly put the unborn baby's life at risk.
Fine Gael had promised not to introduce abortion legislation during campaigning for the 2011 elections. That changed following media controversy over the death of Savita Halappanavar, an Indian woman who was admitted to a Galway hospital while miscarrying. She reportedly asked for an abortion and later died of a severe infection.
Although her death is still being investigated, abortion advocates quickly seized on her case to claim legal abortion would have saved her life. The inquest will begin Jan. 18.
Any abortion legislation will not be introduced until after Easter.
"Politicians of all parties, but especially Fine Gael, need to hear the message loud and clear: the Irish people don't want laws which treat unborn children as second class citizens, and Irish doctors don't need abortion to treat pregnant women," Simons said Jan. 14.
"Fine Gael made a made a promise not to introduce abortion. People need to turn up in force on Saturday 19th January to make them understand they can expect to pay a heavy electoral price if they break that promise."
Simons said the vigil has the support of all the pro-life groups in Ireland, including the Pro Life Campaign, the Life Institute and Family and Life.
"Together we intend to send a strong message to the Government that we stand united to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves," she said.

Paperback, 677 Pages
Price: $43.04
Prints in 3-5 business days
The non-fiction book Smith County Justice was written as an exposé of governmental corruption in the East Texas town of Tyler, the county seat of Smith County. Its publication sent shock waves through the political machine of the city of Tyler which then devised a plan for damage control. Shortly after its publication great pressure was brought upon the publisher to remove the book from circulation. The guilty authorities in Smith County have never acknowledged the evil of their ways or expressed remorse for the lives they ruined. Instead, legal and public relations firms have been engaged to mount a campaign to watch the used book markets for any used copies that might appear. Whenever such copies are found they are usually bought at whatever price is required and destroyed. As a result, used copies today have become rare and expensive. Eventually, almost all original printed editions can be expected to disappear.

Colorado Authors' League names 2014 award winners
The Colorado Authors' League named its 2014 honorees on May 8, with awards going out in categories ranging from poetry to fiction to childrens books, magazine journalism to blogging.
Among those recognized were two women with decades in the literary world between them.
Joyce Meskis, owner of the Tattered Cover bookstores in Denver, was honored with the CAL Author Advocate Award. Among other things, she was cited for her support of local authors and championing First Amendment rights.
Lois Hayna, a 101-year-old Colorado Springs poet who didn't devote herself fully to writing until she was in her 60s, won the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Meskis and Hayna were the inaugural winners of their awards. They were honored in an evening dinner at the Marriott Courtyard in Cherry Creek. Award-winning novelist Robert Greer of the University of Colorado School of Medicine's Department of Pathology, was the keynote speaker.

The Wall Street Journal reports that working conditions are getting better at the embattled Foxconn manufacturing facility where 150,000 Chinese workers assemble iPhones and iPads for the rest of the world. According to the report, wages have been raised by 16 percent and the probation period before entry-level workers are accepted as permanent has been reduced from six months to three months.
There hasn't been a lot of good news coming out of Foxconn over the last couple of years. A string of worker suicides at the Chinese production lines and damning news reports lead to a high-profile visit by Apple CEO Tim Cook and an investigation by the Fair Labor Association. Now it appears that we're seeing at least the beginnings of a turnaround at Foxconn. Let's hope so. [WSJ]

Don't you just want to take a bite.
If you have been following Baked Perfection for a while now, you know that I absolutely love just about anything S'mores. I have made S'mores Bars, S'mores Cookies, S'mores Cookie Dough Pops, S'mores Cracker Candy, and the list goes on. Clearly it is a favorite of mine. Surprisingly I have never featured S'mores Cupcakes on my blog. The thing is, most S'mores Cupcake recipe have a chocolate cupcake with a graham cracker crust. I personally don't feel that is very representative of a S'more and have been left disappointed when I tried that type of S'more Cupcake. I came across this recipe a couple weeks ago and was pretty pleased with the results. The cupcake recipe comes from Bon Appetit and the frosting is from Martha Stewart. The cupcake part was pretty tasty, but a little crumbly and dry. It needs a little tinkering to be perfect. The frosting on the other hand was perfection and allowed me the chance to use my handy dandy kitchen torch. I will definitely be making these again, perhaps with a little variation in the cake batter.
S'mores Cupcakes
cake recipe from Bon Appetit and Frosting recipe from Martha Stewart
recipe makes 12 cupcakes
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 15 whole crackers ground in processor)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped
1/2 cup (scant) heavy whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners.
Whisk graham crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating to blend between additions. Beat in vanilla. Add graham-cracker mixture in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with graham-cracker mixture. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake cupcakes until tester inserted into center come out clean, about 22 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to rack; cool completely.
Place chocolate in medium bowl. Bring cream just to boil in small saucepan; pour over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute; stir until smooth. Cool ganache until lukewarm.
Using a small knife or apple corer, cut a small whole in the top of each cupcake, approximately 1 inch deep. Spoon chocolate ganache into each whole, until full. Top with Frosting.
Marshmallow Frosting
Frosting recipe from Martha Stewart
4 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer. Set over a saucepan of simmering eater. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to touch, 3 - 4 minutes.
Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until stiff gloss peaks form, 5-7 minutes. Add vanilla and mix until combined. Use immediately and store leftover in fridge.
Bakers Note: I chose to use my kitchen torch to toast the frosting. This can also be done by placing the cupcakes in the oven under the broiler. It will not take long so keep a very close eye on the cupcakes.
Also, I kept the cupcakes in the fridge fully prepared until 1 hour before serving where I let them sit out and come to room temperature.

HC Health necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 171 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for an updated, graphical logo for our growing company. We specialize in insurance billing for university health centers. Website is http://www.hchealthgroup.com
Highland Campus Health Group - http://www.hchealthgroup.com
We are looking for a bold, vibrant, vivid, current logo that can appeal to a broad audience and portray a professional image. It would be great if it could convey financial and data security, stability, reliability, and trust.
We are open to creative ideas of all types, but would like to avoid medical icons and people graphics. We would prefer something that can act as a stand alone logo and still convey what we do, but that works well with the company name as well. Please provide both views.
Our current logo is available to view on our website at hchealthgroup.com, and there is plenty of additional information there about our company.
What we do can be summarized as follows:
HCHG works with campus health centers, and only campus health centers, to develop new revenue to support their operations, enhance their services, and build for the future. Highland's services help improve fiscal stability for their health center partners. HCHG does not operate, manage, or outsource college health programs.
- Contemporary, polished design.
- Convey trust and reliability with a professional image.
- A solid graphical image to accompany our company name.
- A logo that can stand alone and still convey our company image.
- Not a requirement, but it could incorporate current HCHG logo colors: lighter blue: #64B3D9; darker blue: #004375; pale brown: #B4A883
- Please, no medical icons or graphics. Especially no medical staff (caduceus) or medical cross icons.
- We would prefer not to have people, faces, or doctors represented in the logo.
- Do not include any medical paraphernalia (i.e. stethoscopes, pills, etc.)
- We would prefer not to use the four letters of our name in a logo.
