Apollo 11 legend Buzz Aldrin took a small leap into The Ambassador Lagoon at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai. The scuba loving astronaut joined the Atlantis The Palm team to help launch their new diving programmes. The 84-year-old, spent some time exploring the ruins of the lost city of Atlantis and enjoyed performing some playful and impromptu anti-gravity antics to the Atlantis guests at the glass observation window.
Buzz was the second person to walk on the moon. He was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing in history and set foot on the Moon on July 21, 1969, following mission commander Neil Armstrong. He is also a retired colonel in the United States Air Force (USAF) and a USAF command pilot / astronaut, and hero of many and these days loves spending time underwater.
The new diving programme gives a chance to guests to come face to face with sharks, rays and 65,000 fishes. The new diving activities include: Atlantis Dive Discovery for beginners; Atlantis Dive Explorer a 30-minute dive for certified divers; and the Royal Dive for those who want a VIP experience and the entire Ambassador Lagoon. For those who dont have a diving licence, Atlantis also has snorkelling for anyone over the age of six.

It's probably too early to call any of the Oscar races, and we won't know who the winners will be until they are read aloud when the show airs live on Sunday, February 27, but it's probably safe for Nine Inch Nails founder Trent Reznor to clear off some space on his mantle for his Academy Award. Reznor is nominated for Best Original Score for his subtle, haunting contributions to "The Social Network" (which was directed by friend and collaborator David Fincher). He is going up against some stiff competition, including previous winners A.R. Rahman ("127 Hours") and Hans Zimmer ("Inception"), as well as four-time nominee Alexandre Desplat ("The King's Speech") and fellow first-timer John Powell ("How to Train Your Dragon"), so it won't necessarily be a walk in the park for Reznor (and partner Atticus Ross).
But considering the pair behind the score to "The Social Network" has already taken home the Golden Globe, Reznor and Ross definitely have a leg up. That would make it especially interesting for Reznor, who already has a Grammy (he scored one for Best Metal Performance for a live version of "Happiness in Slavery," which appeared on the Woodstock '94 album, which means that he'd be half way to an EGOT. The EGOT, of course, is the rare accomplishment wherein one performer wins an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony over the course of one career. Most of the winners are composers (music is versatile like that), so Reznor would fit right in.
So if he takes care of his Grammy and Oscar, how would Reznor go about scoring an Emmy and a Tony? The Emmy might be next, as Reznor is somewhere in the process of developing his "Year Zero" mini-series for HBO. The project is based on the 2007 Nine Inch Nails album of the same name and promises to be a dynamic, ambitious and thrilling bit of television that could easily make for killer awards bait when the time comes.
And while Reznor will probably be distracted by "Year Zero" and his work scoring "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" (also directed by Fincher), he may be able to cram a stage show in there somewhere. But what should Reznor do? Is he a one man show kind of guy, or should one of his concept albums get adapted into a stage show a la "American Idiot"? In reality, probably neither of those ideas are good, and Reznor has never cared all that much about awards. Still, the possibilities are there, and no matter what his next move is, there's no doubt that it will be envelope-pushing.

Live Gamer has managed to raise $8.5 million in funding, according to a TechCrunch report. The new injection of cash comes from Charles River Ventures and Kodiak venture Partners, and takes its total investment to date to $30 million. Live Gamer is an e-commerce company that gives its 48 million users access to its micro-transactions and virtual goods sales services for various online and social games. The company has partnerships with a number of leading game publishers including Electronic Arts, THQ, and Namco Partners – among others.
In July, Live Gamer bought ad and gaming social network GameDNA and the "engagement advertising platform" BrandPort. The GamerDNA acquisition included a number of other properties including editorial web site Crispy Gamer and 360Voice. The company said in July that it would continue to run these operations, but it looks like Crispy Gamer hasn't been updated since October. We asked the company for further details on that part of the story, which we'll post here should they respond.

ZF2-535: The Log module is not ServiceManager friendly
Using a configuration array to wire up a global logger is currently obtuse. Writers construct signatures vary too much to be practical. Here's what I want to do in my autoload/global.php:
'logger' => array(
'writers' => array(
'Stream' => array(
'streamOrUrl' => 'log/application.log',
Now, I can write a custom Factory just for that Writer. But, as soon as I try to make it generic for any writer, I run into signature hell. I haven't even begun to try to config filters or formatters.
Also, regarding the tutorial project: Who starts any project without logging? Only amateurs.
What is your problem exactly? Can you add the actual config to compare with the expected config?
I don't see something different in log4php, if you take two appenders like File and PDO: you need to define dsn for PDO, and file for File.
Where is an example of the current recommended service manager config for a global logger with multiple writers? If you can provide a clean example, then this issue can be closed.
This issue has been closed on Jira and moved to GitHub for issue tracking. To continue following the resolution of this issues, please visit: https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/issues/2568

Proposed Beverage Tax Could Bring Down Health Costs; Unions Oppose Measure
Illinois already has so-called 'sin taxes' on alcohol, tobacco and gambling. Now lawmakers are trying to add sugary drinks to that list. The proposal faces an uphill battle in Springfield.
Sin taxes have a dual purpose: deterring people from what's regarded as undesirable behavior, and generating extra tax money.
In this case, lawmakers want to charge a penny per ounce of sugar-sweetened drinks like soda.
They say it would generate 600 million dollars in revenue. Half the money would go to the state's healthcare program for the poor.
The other half would be invested in health education initiatives.
One of the knocks on soda taxes is that they disproportionately target the poor. But Senator Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago) says low-income individuals pay a big price without it.
"What hurts poor people? ...The extra deaths from diabetes and heart disease in poor communities," she said. "The lack of safe places to exercise and healthy places to eat in poor communities."
A number of food, alcohol, and retail groups oppose the tax. They say it would hurt multiple sectors of the economy, resulting in job loss.

Obituary:Robert Adams
From PESWiki
Robert George Adams, inventor of the Adams Motor, passed away on the night of May 10, 2006 in New Zealand. In his late 80's, he had a serious stroke recently which had paralyzed his left side. He will be missed.
There will be an official statement posted on his website over the next few days, at http://www.aethmogen.com

- Death of Robert Adams - Jerry Decker reports the death, and reminisces on the technology of Robert Adams. (ZPEnergy; May 14, 2006)
Sentiments by Russel Prier
Received May 11, 2006 from Russel Prier <russelp {at} clear.net.nz>
Robert Adams died last night the 10 May. He had a serious stroke recently which had paralyzed his left side. I will miss him as we had spent many hours together this past year.
Much of Robert Adam's work has never seen the light of day outside his laboratory yet. Many notable names in the FE movement have worked with Robert and could tell of his achievements better than me. His work covered many areas of Aether research including much on health as well.
I have been to see him many times this last year. His health has been up and down. He has already had 2 heart attacks, and was very seriously injured in 1958 or 9 in an auto accident that left him with and twisted spine, which gave him much trouble; so he has done well to get to 86 years of age.
I am sure his wife Margret would appreciate a mention of his passing as it was his life's work for the last 40 years.
Sentiments by Tim Harwood
I ran the Adamsmotor Egroup for 3 years, and I think it is fair to say it was one of the few genuinely successful free energy egroups, in the sense that many members were able to build devices at low cost that generated results that could not easily be explained. The work lives on in the PESWIKI as OS:CD_Motor.
Our work was based upon the 1992 Nexus magazine articles. But the articles were cryptic, and left much work to be done, in terms of interpreting the work, and claims. Indeed, Mr Adams later conceded that in hindsight he would have worded many parts differently.
There was a definite conviction that there was something in the Adams motor, if only we could properly unlock its secrets. The Egroup unquestionably generated a genuine community enthusiasm, and went a long way towards making 'cold current' a repeatable phenomena.
The temperature drop some of the motors exhibited, both stators and circuitry, fascinated many an experimenter. Previously this exotic state of energy had only been talked about in connection with Edwin Gray in particular, and it had been thought high voltage would be required to manifest it - the CD motor implementation proved this not to be the case.
In its own way, the Egroup did make significant progress, establishing points in months it had taken Mr Adams years to master. The voltage harmonics were identified, the 50% drop in current draw at 6 ohms locked in. Optimal 9 ohm coil established. The importance of a clean, fast, circuit rise time validated.
Technical issues
The problem the Egroup eventually ran into, was that as Mr Adams himself conceded, you only really got significant over-unity back emf output at 240v - which was beyond the scope of what could be advocated / undertaken by home experimentation.
In addition, keeping the switch rise profile as clean and crisp at 240v as at 12v, was highly problematic, and the gains the physics offered at 240v, were often offset by the inferior current handling properties of switches at that rating. One was left with the feeling that switching technology is not yet able to operate to the tolerances the physics required.
This was of course the exact problem Mr Adams had run into in his researches. He was stated to be using pure iron cores, and mechanical switching, @ 240v even in the 1990s, although he had experimented with MOSFETS for a period. It sounded like a device stuck in the 1960s, when he first began his researches, but was in fact forced upon him by the limitations of the effect he claimed.
Voltage gain
The other problem was really the whole branding of the technology. While advertised as the 'Adams motor,' in reality due to the eccentric stator / rotor design, the device was more or less incapable of delivering torque. Lightly loaded operations such as fans were the only real application. In addition, as the motor was loaded, the effect tended to deteriorate.
This left only two viable development paths.
- The first one would have been a low power 12-36v device, that recharged its source, and ran a light load such as a fan, MOSFET based. While technically possible, it required expert electronics to implement, and would never have been much more than a novelty toy. However, Mr Adams lacked the high level electronics skills required to do this, and seemed unwilling to partner with anyone who had such skills.
- The second one was to stay with mechanical switching at 240v, and go for a high power home generator unit. This is the path Mr Adams chose to follow. After a period of obscurity in the late 1990s, the Egroup appeared to breath life back into his work, and offers of prototoyping following, work was apparently undertaken, and at one time Mr Adams promised 'exciting news soon' - but this never came to pass. How close Mr Adams came to shipping commercial product can not be stated.
There were other eccentricities. Mr Adams paraded qualifications on his website, including a Doctorate, that were not of a conventional origin. Since Mr Adams refused to disclose the source, in light of Mr Bearden's exposed Ph.D claims, I wrote an article for Eric Kreig, that did the best to get to the bottom of who the awarding institution was. He also spent time in his last 5 years attacking his local newspaper, as well as the LUTEC startup company, who allegedly plagiarised his technology.
In person
But one is also left with the impression that Mr Adams was a man, with personality flaws, hubris, and a touch of arrogance that at times infuriated people. When I called him, he demanded money from me to discuss his technology. Since privately we had in some respects taken research beyond what he had managed, I found this hurtful. At that time, we were more advanced on the use of MOSFETS, he was more practised with high voltage development. An exchange of expertise appeared to offer potential benefits to both parties.
Final thoughts
Mr Adams was one of the truly great experimenters of the 20th century. What he achieved alone was remarkable. He took an effect that is so obscure everyone else had missed it, and scaled it to the point of borderline commercial viability. Held back largely by the shortcomings of switching technology of the present period, more than his grasp of the system physics, his work will no doubt be seen as visionary at some point in the future. Flawed, yes, but still unquestionably a genius.

Teaching and Learning Methods
This course can be taken as an elective in Year 2. It aims at enabling the student, subject to agreement in advance with a supervisor, to pursue a topic (or work in a format) which is not otherwise on offer among core or elective courses of the BSc UPDM/Urban Studies. It provides great flexibility and can take the form, for example, of:
- an essay (theoretical, historical, practice-oriented, or polemic), on a well defined question
- a small research report, on a well defined research question
- a documentary film on a well-defined issue, with accompanying commentary
- a photographic project on a well-defined issue, with accompanying commentary
- a design project (drawings and models), with accompanying commentary
- a website, with accompanying commentary
- a travel diary/reportage/report
- a media reportage and/or substantial journalistic piece investigating a topic of current interest.
The topic chosen should be materially different to that explored in the other modules taken as part of the BSc. It cannot be an extended version of a piece of work you have done for another module!
By its nature, the project has no pre-determined content. It should occupy about 100 hours of your time altogether (as it has a 0.5 course unit value).
Aims & Outcomes
The work proposed for a Project X must be carefully formulated and must contribute to the academic coherence of the student's individual course of study. It demands good time-management, and strong independence and autonomy in the organisation of your work. In writing up your proposal you should make it clear what you hope to learn from the experience.
Before you can start on your project, you have to:
- find a staff member to supervise you. Students need to approach individual members of staff who possesses the relevant expertise, interest or enthusiasm for the project, and ask whether that person agrees to be their supervisor. Ask your Year Coordinator to suggest relevant staff if you are unsure. You may have to contact several staff members before coming to an agreement.
- you have to agree on a deadline for submission with your supervisor, which cannot be later than the first Friday in Term 3, FRIDAY 2nd May 2014.
- Once you have discussed and agreed your basic idea with your supervisor, you need to fill in the Project Description Form (attached), send a draft to your supervisor and agree on the content of the proposal. Once this is done, you need to print two copies of the Project Description Form, have them signed by your supervisor and your Year Coordinator, and hand them in to the Planning Office. The Project Description Form will be used as the brief against which your project will be assessed, so it is important you formulate your idea clearly. The criteria for assessment have to be discussed between you and your supervisor and included in the Project Proposal Form at the beginning of the project, so that both of you are clear about these criteria.
- the Project Description Form has to be submitted to the Planning Office no later than Reading Week, Term 1.
Once you start the project, it is your responsibility to arrange meetings with your supervisor when you need to discuss progress. Your supervisor will be able to comment on a draft of your final output in advance of the final submission.
The role of the supervisor is to:
1. Agree a topic, method, format and deadline for the project;
2. Give you guidance to help you get started;
3. Comment on a complete draft before final submission (if you give him/her the draft well in advance of the submission deadline);
4. Mark the work when completed (all projects will be independently second marked and subject to External examiners' judgments).
Remember this is a student-led project in which you are working independently - do not expect your supervisor to direct you too much or 'spoon-feed' you!

Year 2 Coordinator
View Jasmina's profile
Send Jasmina an email
Coursework: 100%
The final submission can be in any format agreed between you and your supervisor: text, drawings, video, models, photography... If your project is a text, it should not go beyond 5,000 words. If your project is visual, a short accompanying text explaining your objective, method, experience of doing the work, and results, must accompany the visual output.
Two copies of the final project must be submitted to the planning office by the deadline agreed with your supervisor, no later than the first Friday in Term 3, FRIDAY 2nd May 2014. Feedback can be expected within 4 weeks. The assessment will be based on the objectives, methods and criteria defined in your Project Proposal Form. It is important you discuss these thoroughly with your supervisor at the beginning of the project, so that both of you are clear about what your project should ideally achieve.
Indicative Reading
be discussed with the supervisor.

Just in case you weren't sold on IBM's commitment to better serve and team with smaller enterprises, here is some hard hitting evidence for you. IBM recently launched the Small and Midsized Business (SMB) web portal around Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure as a clear illustration of how the Tivoli, Maximo, TRIRIGA and Netcool solutions are geared for the SMB space across Cloud, Mobility, Asset Management and Storage.
We fully recognize that SMB customers have different sets of needs and IT requirements than our large enterprise customers . And just to be clear, these are NOT watered-down, leftover, or recycled enterprise level products. Instead, the portal features a portfolio of easy to deploy, rapid-value solutions that are appropriately sized and priced for SMB's.

I can remember the day in 4th grade when I got my first calculator. Other than my "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots", that Texas Instruments 1030 was THE coolest, most magical consumer product that I had ever owned up to that point. It featured the standard four math functions, buttons for percentage, square root, and pi, and an 8 digit LCD display.
Now fast forward to 2011 and consider the fact that it takes dozens of microprocessors running 100 million lines of code to get your average car out of the driveway, and a complex ecosystem of developers, engineers, suppliers and partners to bring smarter products to market.
From automobiles to meat cases to artificial hearts, today's smarter products represent a new generation of capabilities that fuse together sensors, actuators, electronics and mechanical systems.
By all accounts, smarter products and services are transforming the world and the way we interact with it, and IBM is at the forefront of all of the above.
So visit our recently launched Smarter Products and Services web site and learn more about how we help make your everyday products and services smarter!
....AND THEN take a look around your house and office, and let us know what product or service is the "smartest" of them all....or maybe the dumbest? We'd love to get your opinion!

Hollywood's Latest 3-D Animation Film 'Despicable Me' Advances Smarter Movie Production With IBM
See the full press release
Illumination tapped IBM and its Paris-based Business Partner Serviware to build a server farm based on IBM's iDataPlex system. With this system's efficient design and flexible configuration, the company was able to meet the intense computing requirements for the film and save room by doubling the number of systems that can run in a single IBM rack. The entire space used to house the data center amounted to four parking spots in the garage of the production facility, about half of what had initially been allotted. The studio's iDataPlex solution included IBM's innovative Rear Door Heat eXchanger, a water-cooled door that allows the system to run with no air conditioning required, saving up to 40% of the power used in typical server configurations. Overall, the installation included 6,500 processor cores.
Chris Meledandri, Producer of "Despicable Me" and founder of Illumination Entertainment:
"Thanks to the capacity of IBM's rendering technology and the skills of our artists, we were able to bring our creative vision to life through the completion of a wonderfully entertaining film and build the foundation for a large pipeline of projects in development."
Steve Canepa, General Manager, IBM Media & Entertainment industry:
"IBM is delighted to work with Illumination Entertainment on this exciting project to advance digital film-making production," said "The combination of our film industry expertise and powerful, flexible and cost-effective technology solutions is helping to accelerate the adoption of new digital technologies like 3-D into the creative process of film making."
Illumination Entertainment's film "Despicable Me," is being released by Universal Studios July 9.

As businesses and governments continue to develop and design products and services that are increasingly interconnected, IBM is working with clients to help them build the competencies to manage these products in smarter ways. This week at Innovate, the Tivoli and Rational teams, delivered several sessions to the agenda that demonstrated to the software developers, clients, and business partners how to design develop, deploy an manage smarter products by linking development and operations using Cloud technology. I was thrilled to see the level of interest and enthusiasm from the audience for Integrated Service Management. Many of the sessions were standing room only, including the track kickoff, which had to be moved to a larger room! Sessions that were not SRO were also very popular with nearly full rooms.
We were lucky to capture Bala Rajararaman, Tivoli Distinguished Engineer and Top Gremlin-Buster, along with Moe Abdula from Tivoli Development, who shared their passion for Smarter Products and Services by integrating the tools, processes and data of development and operations.

"We've been doing this thing longer than you've been alive, propelled by some mysterious drive," is the first couple lines of "Longer Than You've Been Alive" the first track from the Old 97's newest record Most Messed Up. Celebrating their 20th year as a band, the Old 97's have released one of the best records of 2014. Fans of Americana, punk (Tommy Stinson from The Replacements plays on a few tracks), and alt-country will be happy to discover that the boys from Texas have messed those genre up into a pure raucous ride. Songs like "Let's Get Drunk & Get It On" and "Wasted" are anthems to the hard life of a band strumming hard through two decades of music. "Guadalajara" and "The Ex of All You See" tell the torrid tales of love and loss on the road. After the final song has ended you will have felt like you have listened to a musical biography of a most messed up, but amazing band. In fact, the chorus of the lead track sums the entire record nicely, "Rock and Roll's been very very good to me, the open road's the only place I wanna be."
Singer Billy Stewart had chart success during the 1960's with hits like Fat Boy, Summertime, Sitting in the Park, Secret Love, and You Reap What You Sow and while he's not as well-known as the Motown label singers or James Brown, Stewart possessed and original style all his own that's worth checking out if you're a fan of old school rhythm and blues. His signature trademarks were improvising, scatting and rolling his tongue, all of which provided his vocal interpretations with a unique vitality. Tragically, Stewart died at 33 from an auto accident in 1970. For those new to his sound, try this excellent compilation that includes Stewart's recordings on the famous Chess Records label.
75 classic soul tracks from the vaults of Motown! That's right, 75 classics! Motown-produced music is my go-to, annual soundtrack to Michigan summers. This compilation brings forth the great music from the era's titans (Mary Wells, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Miracles, The Supremes, etc.) but it also includes a few lesser known names like The Downbeats, The Valadiers, Paul Gayten, Lamont Dozier, and Barrett Strong.
Marc Bolan (aka T-Rex) was the man behind the boogie-woogie glam rock that came to define the sound of early 70's British music. Mixing campy looks with big guitar hooks, T-Rex banged out several pop anthems including 20th Century Boy, Telegram Sam, Bang a Gong, and I Love to Boogie.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain and the subsequent dissolution of his band Nirvana. After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, Nirvana continue to be the band most associated with the rise of alternative music into the mainstream during the 1990's.

The cemetery came into existence around 1894, and there
is an inscription on a stone of one John Holzinger, that says John was the
first person interred in the cemetery, and he died October 1894. At the
time, the deeded owner of the property was a Sarah A. Steyer (nee Dennis), wife
of Edward Steyer. Edward had just sold his brick-making business in 1891,
at the age of 67, so it seems plausible that he was contemplating retirement,
and by 1894 had started to inter on his wife's land. Edward's wife Sarah
died a year later in 1895, and by that time it is apparent from the stones and
layout of the cemetery that there had already been quite a few interments on
the land. There are no early documents stating the original intention of the
cemetery, nor the intended or planned physical layout, until 1896, where there
is mention in a deed of some of the sections by letter, e.g. "Section A",
"B" etc. Records show that Edward's son, Calphenus, was issuing deeds to
plots in the cemetery in 1906, with pre-printed deed forms, indicating that the
cemetery was being run in earnest as a business. When the laws in the

Schreffler in September 2007, there were already nearly 5000 interments estimated, with 3000 memorial stones present, and the land has become about 95% used up.

Atlanta Fire Chief Facing Heat For Anti-Gay Comments
Atlanta's fire chief has been terminated after distributing a self-published book he wrote that contained anti-gay comments.
Kelvin J. Cochran was suspended for one month without pay in November and later fired after he distributed a book he wrote in 2013 called Who Told You That You Are Naked? that referred to homosexuality as a "perversion."
In the book, Cochran warned against "uncleanness," which he defined as "whatever is opposite of purity; including sodomy, homosexuality, lesbianism, pederasty, bestiality, all other forms of sexual perversion."

Yes its safe to travel at 32 weeks, but just be warned you may not be comfortable! :) Once you reach that point in pregnancy you will be tired and big enough that it will slow you down from activities. So just try to take it easy on the vacation :) The road trip should be fine, but you should always have a few stops along the way to get out and stretch. Neither driving or flying is safer than the other, but flying may be more comfortable for you since it will be much shorter in comparison. So as long as you take it easy on the trip and try to relax, you should be fine :)posted 01/24/2011 by peanutwitt

Anna Sue Comley, 87, died July, 23, 2014 at her home in St. Joseph, Missouri. Sue was born to Ernest and Mary Wood on Sept 29, 1926 in Canton, Mo. She was the youngest of four sisters (Winifred, Waneta, Amy and Marjorie) and a brother (Benjamin) who died 10 years before she was born.
Sue's parents chose Canton, Missouri to raise their family, where the girls were able to attend Canton Public Schools and Culver Stockton College.
Sue graduated from Canton High School in 1944 and from Culver Stockton College in 1948 with a degree in Psychology and Education. She was a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority and served as its president.
In high school, she played clarinet in the band, participated in school plays and began singing solos at First Baptist Church. She attended a summer session at Culver Stockton and one of the teachers heard her and offered her free voice lessons. She continued voice lessons through college.
On November 22, 1951 she married Joe Comley and they moved to Quincy, Illinois where she sang in the city choir. Their first child, Mark, was born in 1952. In 1954 they moved to Rolla, Missouri, where their second child, Kathy, was born. In 1955 they moved to St. Joseph and became members of Wyatt Park Baptist Church where they made enduring friendships. Sue sang in her church choir, in the Community Chorus and at the Jewish Temple for the High Holy Days.
Sue taught children's choir at WPB and was a Sunday school teacher for 45 years. She served as PTA president and co-chairman of the savings stamps sales program at Blair Elementary. She was also known as the "Witch" of Jackson Street, where countless children visited every Halloween to see her cackling and stirring a giant smoking cauldron. Sue was a mentor, a tutor, and a surrogate grandmother to many.
During her working career she was a soloist at Meierhoffer Fleeman, a volunteer at St. Joseph's Food Kitchen and the caregiver and friend of two families she grew to love—the Kim Bowens and the Larry Zillners.
She loved her city of St. Joseph. She attended City Council meetings, read the newspaper daily, supported The Arts and Science Council and the St. Joseph Symphony and was politically active. She loved all music—from classical to jazz—and could be seen at most festivals, events and concerts held in her beloved city.
Sue Comley's love for others was unselfish and kind. She admired other's abilities—whether it was the individual who could lift him/herself from poverty, or an individual with an admirable talent. People were an unending joy to her.
She embraced others, welcomed embraces from others, embraced diversity and her belief in God.
She is survived by her sister, Margorie F. Brewer of St. Louis, MO., son, Mark W. Comley and wife, Rebecca, Jefferson City, MO.; daughter, Mary Kathleen Jenkins and husband, Adrian, Milford, OH; three grandchildren, Catherine E. Comley, Columbia, Mo, Russell J. Comley, Kansas City, MO., and Clare D. Moore and husband, Jason: and one great grandson, Rylan A. Moore of Cincinnati, OH.; and many relatives and friends whom she loved very much.
Memorial Services: 1:00 P.M, Saturday, September 27, 2014, Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory. Inurnment Edgewood Cemetery, at a later date. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. The family suggests memorial donations to be sent to a charity of the donor's choice.

Lovelies, you all remeber Aly and Aj right? They are the sisters who sang the pop songs like "Rush" and "Potential Breakup Song." After a five year hiatus, the girls are back and are now going but the name 78violet. They recently released an eight minute video for their newest song, "Hothouse".
The song is definitely a new sound for the duo. It's less teeny bopper pop and more folksy. The song is not bad but it's also not that great. It's a mellow tune, the type I could imagine being played in a little coffee shop. It not only lacks the excitement their old music used to have but also lacks good lyrics. I think they were going for a kind of "hauntingly beautiful" track with (at times) nonsensical lyrics and mellow beats but they ultimately miss their mark.
On to the music video. It's pretty but unoriginal and is unnecessarily long. The first half of it is a sequence of slow motion outdoors scenes with the two girls talking over it. The whole dreamlike sequence looks like they were trying a bit too hard to be hip — I found myself questioning why they were running around with an American flag wearing flower crowns. Just why? Honestly it's been done way too many times before — think Lana Del Rey's "Drive", Rihanna's "We Found Love In A Hopeless Place", and Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble". In these successful videos, the dreamlike sequences were followed by some very powerful songs, but the 78violet video fizzles out once the song starts.
While not I'm not the biggest fan of the sister's newest video and song, I do think they will be a pair to watch. They might not be on their way to the stardom they had before, but they might be on their way to releasing a nice album.
Check out the video for yourself:
Lovelies, what do you think of the new 78violet song?

Hi All,
Have any one been able to setup zimbra with procmail? Procmail as the filter for zimbra I mean. If yes, how was that achieved? Please help.
Hi All,
Have any one been able to setup zimbra with procmail? Procmail as the filter for zimbra I mean. If yes, how was that achieved? Please help.
Got it to work yesterday for 1 email adres, dunno how it scales up.
I adapted the piping instructions I found here:
Configuring Postfix to work with piped scripts - Zimbra :: Wiki
So, these cut-and-paste instructions work for me:
Good luck !Code:su - zimbra // Make sure you're the 'zimbra' user mkdir /opt/zimbra/procmail // this will hold the filter file and the logfile cat /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf // check out what transports you have now, adapt the next command for your result proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf zmlocalconfig -e transport_maps=' hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf' // add a postfix transport vi /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport # Pipe transports for RT queues # YOU HAVE TO ADD THE PIPES TO /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/master.cf if you want them to work!!! firstname.lastname@example.com procmail-pipe // fill-in the correct email address postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport // update the transport db vi /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/master.cf.in // define the pipe procmail-pipe unix - n n - - pipe flags= user=zimbra argv=/usr/bin/procmail /opt/zimbra/procmail/procmailrc This is the header of my procmail file (/opt/zimbra/procmail/procmailrc) SHELL = /bin/sh PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:. MAILDIR=/opt/zimbra/procmail/ # You better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$MAILDIR LOGFILE=.procmaillog LOCKFILE=.procmaillock VERBOSE=no Turning VERBOSE to yes will enable logging. Everything after // is comment. Remove beginning tabs, make sure NO line starts with a space or tab. They are only here for clarity.
Hi FrederikD,
I tried your solution, but it does not seem to work for me. I might be wrong with my configurations. My configurations are as below:
The configured transport in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf is:
In /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport:Code:transport_maps = proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf
In /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/master.cf:Code:email@example.com procmail-pipe
I executed:Code:procmail-pipe unix - n n - - pipe flags= user=zimbra argv=/usr/bin/procmail /opt/zimbra/procmail/procmailrc
The content of the /opt/zimbra/procmail/procmailrc file are as below:Code:zmlocalconfig -e transport_maps=' hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport,proxy:ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf'
I just want to block mail attachments from admin user to the user named roshan. The attachment blocking is not working.Code:SHELL = /bin/sh PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:. DEFAULT=$MAILDIR LOGFILE=.procmaillog LOCKFILE=.procmaillock VERBOSE=yes :0 * From:.*admin.* * To:.*roshan.* * ! ^Content-Type:.*text/plain.* { :0B * ^(Content-(Type|Disposition):.*|[ ]*(file)?)name=("[^"]*|[^]*)\..* /dev/null }
Hi aks
Unfortunately did my Zimbra proposal never got approved officially which is why my test-setup is not available anymore.
Nevertheless, can you confirm there was no /opt/zimbra/procmail/.procmaillog file created?
If not you might try changing the owner and group of /opt/zimbra/procmail/procmailrc to 'zimbra'
Also that in the transport file, email@example.com is mentioned, and it is not a system account, rather it is an account created by zimbra. Can this be the source of the problem? I was not clear about email@example.com directive in your instructions. Should I replace it with email@example.com or with firstname.lastname@example.com
Note: iras-aks.com is the test domain that i've configured zimbra for.
Yes, I believe I created a new email adres and used that one.
But what I could not find was a way for procmail to re-inject the mail into zimbra.
I only used that email account to filter and then forward to another email account.
Come to think of it, I don't think I ever got any logging out either. Forgive me, this is coming back to me in pieces
So I would try creating 2 new email accounts, 1 for procmail and 1 for procmail to send the mail to, and add a forward at the end of your procmailrc:
(if that is the email account you wish to read your mail in)Code::0 ! firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi FrederikD,
I repeated all of the steps, and finally made it to work. I'm not sure of what went wrong in the previous attempt. Now that I've jotted down the configuration at How to use Procmail with ZCS.
Thanks for you help.


text: What's this new 'N' range all about? Looks like the Brompton 6 speed type of thing. . . how many sprockets/cogs are meant to fit on the driver? Is that how the Shimano system always looks, i.e. with enough space to adjust sprocket/chainline position or is this clearly intended to run 2 sprockets?

OLD WASHINGTON - For nearly 40 years, Dale Broomhall has been a Warrior.
Buckeye Trail is in his blood. That's why he assumed the reins of the school's varsity football program in 2012.
''We had three or four down years prior and we just needed a change,'' Broomhall said. ''We needed a change in thought process. We needed a change in work ethic. We needed a change in enthusiasm. I think we're headed in the right direction.''
So while most people saw last season's 4-6 record as not much of anything, it looked like much more through Broomhall's eyes.
''We were competitive and that's what we strived for last year,'' he said. ''We wanted to be competitive. We wanted to go out every game, play our best, and be in the game. That's what we hadn't had in years prior. So, I think we were successful in that.
''What we want to do now is take that next step. We're talking about taking that next step and not being satisfied with being 4-6. We're shooting for a winning season.''
It all starts for Buckeye Trail on Saturday with a visit to perennial playoff participant Ridgewood before Caldwell, Frontier and Barnesville visit the Baker Athletic Complex.
''It's a competitive schedule,'' Broomhall said. ''We'll face Ridgewood and that's a difficult opener for us.''
The Warriors' slate is unchanged for the most part. Gone are Shadyside and Bridgeport. They are replaced by West Muskingum and Meadowbrook, respectively.
A loss against the Tigers in Week 8 last season was part of a season-ending four-game slide that saw an impressive 4-2 start erased.
''We know what we need to do to compete,'' Broomhall said. ''We had some tough losses at Barnesville and against Fort Frye and River ... games that we thought we could win. We just have to take that next step.''
Graduation claimed ''seven solid kids'' but Broomhall has a ''good nucleus back.''
Among that group is senior quarterback Morgan Dougherty (6-foot-1, 180 pounds). The two-time letterwinner made his debut in Week 2 last season in a 29-7 victory against Caldwell.
''He has some nice speed and is the second-fastest kid on the team,'' Broomhall pointed out. ''He's very elusive, so we're going to run a lot of sets and try and get him on the edge.
''We'll run shots and boots and waggles ... we want to get the ball in his hands.''
Sophomore Levi Gadd (5-10, 160) will serve as Dougherty's backup, with freshman TJ Grafton (5-8, 155) also providing depth at the position.
While Dougherty is the focus of the offense, the Warriors have plenty of ''bangers'' in the backfield.
They include seniors Codey Kimble (5-7, 195) and Travis Pontius (5-10, 175), both two-time letterwinners, along with sophomore Tristen King (6-0, 195) and senior Collin Streiff (5-8, 225).
''We think we're strong inside the tackles,'' Broomhall said.
Also in the mix are junior Brady Neuhart (6-0, 170), sophomore Tim Parry (5-6, 190) and freshmen Troy Pontius (5-5, 140) and Carter Streiff (5-5, 140).
Candidates at tight end include sophomore Isiah Tucker (5-11, 190) and freshmen Jacob Doudna (6-2, 155) and Casey Stephens (5-7, 170).
Two-time letterwinner, and senior Bobby Sells (6-0, 170) returns at receiver. Senior letterwinners Tyler Starr (5-11, 155) and RJ Douglass (6-1, 170) also return.
Others in the mix at receiver are sophomore Johnathan Duffy (5-7, 155) and freshmen Gerrard Williams (5-5, 140) and Julio Rome (6-0, 150).
The offensive line is a strength with the return of four starters - guards senior Cory Cutlip (6-2, 270) and junior Dillon Pointer (6-1, 275), tackle sophomore Tyler Faulk (5-11, 225) and center Dalton Choate (6-2, 255).
The Warriors are deep on the line. Others on the depth chart include senior Jacob Francis (6-1, 245), juniors Casey Raber (6-2, 225), AJ Robertson (6-0, 230), Lydia Johnson (5-7, 170) and Jonathan Roe-Warner and freshmen Bricen Bates (5-10, 170), Parker Simonson (5-7, 145), Bryson Ogden (5-10, 160), Jacob Sudduth (5-10, 235) and Kyle Wilson (5-9, 255).
Cutlip, Pointer, Faulk and Choate will provided strength along the defensive front. Broomhall is also looking for more help, which could come from a group that consists of Francis, Raber, Robertson, Collin Streiff, Johnson, Roe-Warner, Bates, Simonson, Ogden, Sudduth (5-10, 235) and Wilson (5-9, 255).
King, Travis Pontius and Codey Kimble lead the way at linebacker. Also in the mix are Grafton, Stephens and Parry.
Sells and Starr will start at corner, with Dougherty at safety. Other candidates in the secondary include Troy Pontius, Gadd, Rome, Carter Streiff, Duffy, Vance and Williams.
''We actually have a good freshman group that I expect some good things from in a few years,'' Broomhall said.
Broomhall is assisted by Randy Thompson, Steve Mercer, Darin Wilson, Mike Neuhart, Kurtis Spratt, Mark Neuhart and Mike Legats.
Cory Cutlip, Morgan Dougherty, RJ Douglass, Jacob Francis, Codey Kimble, Travis Pontius, Bobby Sells, Tyler Starr, Collin Streiff.
Dalton Choate, Lydia Johnson, Brady Neuhart, Dillon Pointer, Casey Raber, AJ Robertson.
Jonathan Duffy, Tyler Faulk, Levi Gadd, Tristen King, Tim Parry, Isiah Tucker.
Bricen Bates, Jacob Doudna, TJ Grafton, Bryson Ogden, Troy Pontius, Julio Rome, Parker Simonson, Casey Stephens, Carter Streiff, Jacob Sudduth, Koltan Vance, Gerrard Williams, Kyle Wilson.

David Nalbandian and Horacio Zeballos defeated Christopher Kas and Tobias Kamke 6-1, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to clinch the Davis Cup tie 3-0 for Argentina over Germany. After rolling around in the clay, the best way to clean off is with sparkling wine, of course! Luckily, it also makes for a good celebration.
Next, Argentina will host France, who defeated Israel 3-0.

Kevin Spacey loves being part of what he calls "a new paradigm": Internet television that's just as compelling and well produced as anything on a cable or broadcast channel.
Kevin Spacey loves being part of what he calls "a new paradigm": Internet television that's just as compelling and well produced as anything on a cable or broadcast channel.
Spacey was nominated for an Emmy Award Thursday for his leading role in "House of Cards," the Netflix original series that collected nine bids in all.
"I'm so happy for the series and so happy for Netflix … because it's a big acknowledgement of the show and its quality," said Spacey, also an executive producer. "For us to have broken through in … so many categories, nine nominations, for what is really, in many ways, a new paradigm, is so thrilling."
Internet TV is a new frontier with new rules. For example, Netflix didn't require "House of Cards" to begin with a pilot episode introducing the main characters and story lines, freeing the writers to create natural suspense in an evolving story.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska
Most Read Stories
"It changes the creative process of how you write a show," said Spacey, 53. "When they gave us an order of 26 episodes – or chapters, as we like to call them – that was a remarkable thing for us because it meant that we could just get on with telling the story."
The way the show is distributed – all 13 episodes available at once – also offers audiences more choices about how to consume it.
Such creative flexibility draws film writers, directors and actors, such as Spacey, to the TV landscape.
"For storytellers who want to tell stories that are driven by character and not by explosions and things that only, in a sense, appeal to the heartbeat or the pulse and not the mind, then it makes sense to me that the best writers and directors and actors and storytellers are going to go to the ground where it is fertile," he said. "It's very fertile now, obviously. The streaming business is fertile, and the television business in its usual sense."

As I write this essay, my birthday has come to a close. My husband is playing a few minutes on a hand held videogame. My children are fast asleep. The cat is doing things that cats do late at night. The day was nothing extraordinary, which made it wonderful. It was probably the best day ever, because it was so simple and in that simplicity, so very perfect.
Tonight, I held my daughter's hand as she drifted off to sleep. I could almost feel how quickly her childhood is passing by. She's five years old already. I remember when she was born as though it were last week. My own mother probably feels the same about the 40 "something" years I've be around. Sitting there, beside my daughter's bed, I made myself commit that moment to memory and tuck it away to remember on the day she turns 18 and moves off to college.
Long ago, when I would look forward to my future, I didn't necessarily see children as a part of it. Thankfully, the universe knew me far better than I knew myself. I have been blessed and honored to share my life with two such wonderful human beings that I lack the words to even begin to describe how much they mean to me. They are not perfect (who is?), but they are my babies.
So, I come here to gush, but not about anything in particular. I gush just that they are. I love my son and I love my daughter; differently, equally. I am so very happy that the universe is so very wise.
Best. Birthday. Ever.

Everyday Italian: 125 Simple and Delicious Recipes (2005)
by Giada De Laurentiis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
What a fresh new face on the cooking scene! Love her simple and easy recipes. Hope she continues to write cookbooks that are healthy and simple to use.
I've made a few recipes from this and liked them, but I always hesitate to go back to it because the text is in a light, bright blue color. It is not very easy on the eyes while trying to follow a recipe.
Another beautiful book from Giada. I probably like looking at the pictures more than actually cooking the dishes. I especially like the cutlet section of this book. Lot's of ideas for getting cutlets out quick for midweek meals. Favorite recipes from this book include chicken saltimbocca, chicken piccata, and veal marsala,
I was disappointed at how meat-centric the recipes were. As a vegetarian, I find Italian food tends to be one of the easiest types to make vegetarian, but these recipes were overall difficult to adapt. Although there were two vegetarian recipes, she took a bit of a condescending tone to vegetarians in them. I did find a promising marinara recipe, as well as a vodka sauce recipe to try though. Haven't cooked/tasted them yet though.
There are some good simple recipes which are easy to make and contain basic ingredients. It is excellent for basic home-style dishes, but nothing fancy or unique.

|"It's finally ov...ah crap."
Is the US Open still going on? I swear, after two straight days of canceled matches it seems like a whole new tourney, like a fifth mini-Slam or something. But don't think it was quiet around the grounds. Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Andy Roddick held hands (symbolically kids) and joined forces to bitch out US Open referee Brian Earley for scheduling them to play - and they did for a short while - when the weather forecast was gloomy at best.
THEN. The bottom half boys complained about having to possibly play four days straight since they finished their fourth rounders today and would need to complete their quarterfinal matches tomorrow, semifinals on Saturday and the final on Sunday if they got there, of course. In the meantime, water began seeping through a crack behind the baseline of Louis Armstrong Stadium forcing A-Rod and David Ferrer to move their match to Court 13. Oh yeah, the planes. Really annoying.
This US Open couldn't have been written this dramedy any better if they tried. Seriously.
All is good now that the tourney officials made the right decision and moved the women's final to Sunday at 4pm and the men's final to Monday at 4pm. It's the fourth consecutive year the men will be balling on Monday for all the marbles.
But now in the quarters we've got Rafa facing A-Rod, Muzz taking on John Isner, and Roger Federer battling Jo-Wilfried Tsonga tonight. Top baller Novak Djokovic is already through to the final four after Janko Tipsarevic retired from their match with injury.
As for the ladies, Serena Williams downed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and will face Caroline Wozniacki, who beat Andrea Petkovic, in the semis. Sam Stosur ousted last year's finalist, Vera Zvonareva, and will face super-surprise semifinalist Angelique Kerber (don't even say you thought she might, because you didn't).

What a blast! The Bastion is perhaps most famous for its exciting cannon firing ceremony every day at noon from International Museum day (Sunday, May 18, 2014) to Labour Day (Monday, September 1, 2014).
For more than twenty years, the resonant sound of local bagpiper Bill Poppy has accompanied this ceremonial reenactment. Also adding to the entertainment every Thursday and Saturday between late June and Labour Day is the Brigadoon Dance Academy's highland dancers, who perform just before the cannon firing from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm.
Come down to the Bastion and experience the blast of a lifetime! The cannons are located beside the Bastion on the Pioneer Waterfront plaza.See the Photo Gallery for more fun images of our famous cannon firings!For more information on the history of the Basiton click HERE.Funding for this project has been made possible in part through a contribution from the Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations program, Department of Canadian Heritage.Le financement pour ce projet a ťtť rendu possible en partie gr'ce Š une contribution de Jeunesse Canada au travail dans les ťtablissements du patrimoine, une initiative du ministŤre du Patimoine canadien.

I have the 'mobile magic' and 'my Disney experience' apps.
What is the difference between the two? Have only just got them so not too sure what to do with them.
I think ones new and ones the old one
Disney information? Try our online guidebook at http://wdisneysecrets.com
Get your own Disney Countdown at http://toys.wdisneysecrets.com
The Disney Mobile Magic App is more for use in the parks, it will give you the wait times for rides, it has maps of the parks & all of the WDW Resort Hotels, and it even has GPS while you are in the parks.
The My Disney Experience app is for planning your vacation. You can start by adding your reservation number and it will automatically add your hotel check-in and check-out dates. You can add everything else from there, such as what day(s) you are visiting Magic Kingdom, Downtown Disney and so on. Also, if you want to make dining reservations you can do so from the app. It is also a feature on the Disney Website.
I have both downloaded on my iPhone and have just started figuring out how to use them so I am not lost when I am on vacation.
Hope that helps!

Work Permit for Afghanistan
Everybody foreign national who wants to work in the country needs a work permit for Afghanistan. The rules and regulations governing work permits determine how easy it is to start earning money in the country. Overall this is easier for permanent employees than Afghanistan contractors because of how the system is organised. Finding out the basics about getting a work permit in Afghanistan gives you an overview of the different things you need to consider when you apply and could save you time and effort.
Do I Need a Work Permit for Afghanistan?
If you're looking to work in the country, you will probably need a work permit for Afghanistan. Whether you're planning on working as a contractor or as a permanent employee, you have to be officially permitted to work by the immigration authorities. There are some situations in which you may not need one, however, and the most common ones are related to your spouse. If your husband or wife has a work visa or permit for Afghanistan, or if they are a citizen, you may not need a permit to work. There is also the possibility of exchange schemes which make it easier to gain permission to work in Afghanistan. If there is a shortage of your specific set of skills in Afghanistan, you may be eligible for special classes of visa designed to address the country's needs.
How do I Get an Afghanistan Work Permit?
For most people looking for an Afghanistan work permit, the exceptions above don't apply. The ordinary process for obtaining a work permit requires you to already have a job offer. Your prospective employer can "sponsor" you for the projected length of your contract and you use this sponsorship to obtain a work permit to cover those dates. They make the application for a work permit in Afghanistan and you have to supply supporting documentation like your CV, copies of your educational achievements and proof of your work history. It's easier in some situations, such as if you're a national of a neighbouring country or if you have higher earnings than most workers.
Important Points for Contractors in Afghanistan
The AfghanistanAfghan work permit system is set up for permanent employees, so it's considerably easier for them to get one. As a contractor, you have some extra things to consider. Each time your contract expires you basically need to get an entirely new work permit with your new employer as a sponsor. The permit is tied to the length of your contract with the employer that sponsored you, and it's also limited to a specific employer. To save yourself time, you should consider using a contractor management company (or "umbrella" company) in Afghanistan. They process payments for you, handle your taxes and can sponsor you for your permit, while allowing you to continue functioning as a contractor.
How We Can Help with Your Afghanistan Work Permit
Finding a suitable umbrella company in Afghanistan is difficult without knowledge of the various options. We have extensive experience working with AfghanistanAfghan contractor management companies and have a detailed understanding of what each one offers. Companies which specialise in work permits can sponsor you for your entire stay in the country, and income tax specialists ensure you keep the maximum amount of your money possible through the tax system in Afghanistan.

As I'm writing this post the snow is coming down like crazy outside my hotel window in St. Cristina, Val Gardena, Italy. I'm here for a few days with my parents, back to the magical town in Sudtirol where I learned to ski when I was a child of three, when we used to come here every weekend of every winter. It's one of those places that don;t change much throughout the years and when they do, they only change for the better. The skiing is still amazing and, yes, I can still ski, even after 9 years in Florida. So people who were telling me that skiing is like riding a bike were right —I felt like only a few minutes had passed between the last time I had skied in 2001 and yesterday. My legs... not so much. Let's say they are a little sore. But today I went skiing again and loved it like I used to love it when I was a teenager. There are many other things, mostly food related, that I still love like when I was a teenager. Eggs, bacon and fried potatoes. Hot mulled wine. Bread dumplings. And, of course, Christmas cookies. Don't ask me why Swedish ginger cookies are popular here as well —I'm guessing that people who live in cold climates just cannot get enough ginger—but they are, and they are delicious both with hot tea and with wine.
3/4 cups of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
4 tablespoons of molasses
2 cups of flour
3 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of cloves
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Mix all the "wet" ingredients (up to molasses) in the order given. Mix separately the dry ingredients. Slowly incorporate the two. This will make the baking process smoother.
Chill the mixed ingredients overnight in your refrigerator.
Remove the the chilled cookie mixture from the refrigerator when ready to bake the cookies. Roll out the dough about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut cookies with cookie cutters.
Bake them at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes until lightly browned.
