New eating club selection process deferred a year
Representatives of the 10 independent eating clubs that attract more than two-thirds of Princeton's juniors and seniors have agreed to defer for a year the implementation of a new selection process patterned after a proposal made last spring by a student-faculty-staff-alumni task force on relationships between the University and the clubs. Under the new process, every student who is interested in joining a club would be guaranteed placement in one of the clubs.
"As of December, eight of the 10 clubs agreed to implement the new selection process this year, and concentrated work began to do the planning and programming that would be required to carry out the new system," said Robert Durkee, University vice president and secretary and chair of the task force. "But all have agreed that more time is needed to refine, test and publicize the new system, and it is hoped that with the additional time the remaining two clubs also will decide to participate. While the process can work with eight clubs, it would work a whole lot better with all 10."
Of the 10 clubs, five conduct a week-long selection process known as "bicker" and five admit members on a sign-in basis. Under the proposed system, which would be administered by the clubs, students interested in joining a club would register through a website that would ask them whether they plan to bicker.
If they do plan to bicker, they would go through the club's bicker process, but they also would be asked to rank the sign-in clubs in order of preference, with the understanding that if they are not successful in bicker they will be placed in their highest ranking club where there is an opening. At the end of the week, all students who bickered would be informed whether they were admitted to the club where they bickered or were placed in a sign-in club.
Students who are not planning to bicker could register as individuals or in groups. They would be asked to rank their preferences among the sign-in clubs, and at the beginning of the week the sign-in clubs would be given the names of all non-bickering students who ranked them first. While formal placement would not take place until the end of the week, it is expected that these clubs would host activities for these students throughout the week.
At the end of the week, a matching process would occur. In its first round, students who registered for the sign-in clubs would be placed in their highest ranking club in which spaces were available. If any sign-in club is oversubscribed, students who cannot be accommodated would be placed in a second round along with students who were unsuccessful in bicker. Placements would be made until every student who registered for the club-selection process and submitted a list of preferences was placed.
In a final round, any student who registered but did not submit a full list of preferences would be placed in clubs with remaining capacity.
"Under this plan, the first message received by students who were unsuccessful in bicker is not that they were turned down by club X, but that they have been placed at club Y," Durkee said. "While no student will be required to join the club where he or she has been placed, the hope is that this process will take some of the sting out of being turned down, and that it will lead to an increase in the number of students unsuccessful in bicker who join the sign-in clubs.
"An overriding goal of the task force was to help sustain the viability of a 10-club system, and especially of the five sign-in clubs," Durkee added. "We believed that this could be accomplished in part by retaining more students who are unsuccessful in bicker; in part by consolidating sign-in club placement on a single date to reduce any sense of second-class citizenship on the part of student who now sign in a week later than other students; and in part by the straightforward message that every student who wishes to be in a club will be placed. We think this message will be especially welcomed by potential applicants and admitted students who want reassurance that if they attend Princeton and want to join a club they will be able to do so.
"While we would have liked to see the new process go forward this year, I am confident that the best way to achieve our goals is to defer implementation for a year to give everyone involved more time to work on the planning and logistics of the process, to communicate with next year's sophomores, and, ideally, to increase the number of clubs that participate," he concluded.
Implementation of an alternative selection process was one of 25 recommendations made by the task force to improve the undergraduate experience in the clubs, strengthen the clubs, and improve relationships between the clubs and the University. The task force report can be found online, along with a progress report issued earlier this academic year.

Post subject: I Just Quit My Job!
Goodbye 'this' place, hello new and exciting career opportunities! Actually, I have already accepted another position, it involves my own staff of 2 and more pay, so I can't complain! I work in an office, nothing glamorous, but it'll be what I make of it...
So, since I so highly value a lot of the advice I see here, granted mostly it's on the use of rare fruits or odd gadgets, I wanted to ask a few questions. Call it a Refresher Course, call it Old Work Habit Spring Cleaning.
What are your successful job secrets?
How do you best keep a positive attitude at the workplace?
Got any tips on managing employees?
What's the best way to work with the person you're replacing (who, yikes, is sort of getting demoted)?
AND, How do I get by until my new office gets a fridge and microwave in a few months? (Other than expensive lunches about town.)
Thanks all!

Yay Monica! Good Luck at your new job.
I have managed everyone from a crusty old man to annoying teenagers and everyone in between. I learned to always be up front about everything no matter how unpleasant and to always set the example.
I hope your new job turns out to be as wonderful as it sounds!

My experience -- nothing turns out so wonderful in actuality as it does in anticipation and nothing turns out so bad in experience as is forbode. So keep your expectations limited.
Also, grab a book on Lincoln and read some of his speaches during the war for a great look at how to compromise.
Remember -- compromise, compromise, compromise.

I'm sure you got the job because you have and have demonstrated the skills to do it and do it well. So you're already practically home free!
How about thinking and communicating that you're at the head of a small team that's there with the common purpose of getting many of your personal needs met by pulling together to accomplish the goals of your company? Get to know the people you work with so you can see what each of them has to bring to the effort and then urge them to make their contribution count.
If they see the big picture, feel like they're important to the effort, recognized for their talents, supported by the others on the team and able to make decisions together and for themselves, you will have done an important thing and I bet your unit will be formidable.
Then I hope the folks with the $$$$ will do as much to recognize you all.
Good luck and GO TEAM!!!

Hi everyone!
Wow, what a cool site! Too bad I cant call off work and read through it from start to finish. Anyhoo...I am a 30 yr old female (MA originally) living in Ohio. I am a college grad, and I love meeting new people. I am hopelessly addicted to "American Idol," "Biggest Loser," and "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." In my free time I like to workout (if I can drag myself to the gym) and I am a Moderator for a weight loss forum. I love to watch cooking shows like; "Emeril," "Iron Chef," and The show that was recently on NBC.."Celebrity Cooking Showdown." What those people learned to do was amazing. I can use my microwave and that is about it! I look forward to meeting all of you, and getting to know you better. Any food advice would be great since I am no longer eating fast food, and I want to pass on some easy recipes on to the forum posters on my site.
Have a great day!

Outside Witness Testimony in Support of FY 2013 Funding
for the National Science Foundation
Submitted by:
Julie Palakovich Carr
Senior Public Policy Associate
Robert Gropp, Ph.D.
Director of Public Policy
Submitted to:
House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies
The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) appreciates the opportunity to provide testimony in support of fiscal year (FY) 2013 appropriations for the National Science Foundation (NSF). We encourage Congress to provide NSF with at least $7.373 billion in FY 2013.
The AIBS is a nonprofit scientific association dedicated to advancing biological research and education for the welfare of society. AIBS works to ensure that the public, legislators, funders, and the community of biologists have access to and use information that will guide them in making informed decisions about matters that require biological knowledge. Founded in 1947 as a part of the National Academy of Sciences, AIBS became an independent, member-governed organization in the 1950s. Today, AIBS has nearly 160 member organizations and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with a Public Policy Office in Washington, DC.
The NSF is an important engine that helps power our nation's economic growth. Through its competitive, peer-reviewed research grants, NSF is leading the development of new knowledge that will help to solve the most challenging problems facing society, and will lead to new scientific discoveries, patents, and jobs. The agency's education and training programs are helping to ensure that the next generation has the scientific, technical, and mathematical skills employers are seeking. Investments in research equipment and facilities enable the country to continue to innovate and compete globally. These efforts, however, require a sustained and predictable federal investment. Unpredictable swings in federal funding can disrupt research programs, create uncertainty in the research community, and stall the development of the next great idea.
The NSF is the primary federal funding source for fundamental research in the non-medical life sciences at our nation's universities and colleges. The NSF provides approximately 62% of extramural federal support for non-medical, fundamental biological and environmental research at academic institutions.
NSF is a sound investment that pays dividends. The use of peer-review to evaluate and select the best proposals means that NSF is funding the highest quality research. Importantly, the FY 2013 budget request would allow the agency to fund 300 additional research grants, thereby supporting roughly 5,000 additional researchers, teachers, and students.
The research supported by NSF is unique from the science funded by other federal agencies. Unlike most federal agencies, which focus on applied research, NSF supports basic research that advances the frontiers of our knowledge about biodiversity, genetics, physiology, and ecosystems. Recent discoveries that stem from NSF-funded research include:
The Biological Sciences Directorate (BIO) funds research in the foundational disciplines within biology. These fields of study further our understanding of how organisms and ecosystems function. Additionally, BIO supports innovative interdisciplinary research that improves our understanding of how human social systems influence - or are influenced by - the environment, such as the NSF-wide Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability program. In collaboration with NSF's engineering, math, and physical science directorates, BIO is working to develop new, cutting-edge research fields. For example, the BioMaPS program is accelerating understanding of biological systems, and applying that knowledge to new technologies in clean energy.
The FY 2013 budget request for NSF would enable the agency to continue to fund highly competitive grant proposals in BIO's five core programmatic areas: Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Biological Infrastructure, and Emerging Frontiers. Each of BIO's program areas also contribute to the education and training of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students.
Equally important, BIO provides essential support for our nation's place-based biological research, such as field stations and natural science collections. The Long-Term Ecological Research program supports fundamental ecological research over long time periods and large spatial scales, the results of which provide information necessary for the identification and solution of environmental problems.
The budget request also would sustain an effort to digitize high priority specimens in U.S. scientific collections. This investment will help the scientific community ensure access to and appropriate curation of irreplaceable biological specimens and associated data, and stimulate the development of new computer hardware and software, digitization technologies, and database management tools.
The FY 2013 budget would continue efforts to better understand biodiversity. Funding is included for the Dimensions of Biodiversity program, which supports cross-disciplinary research to describe and understand the scope and role of life on Earth. Despite centuries of discovery, most of our planet's biodiversity remains unknown. This lack of knowledge is particularly troubling given the rapid and permanent loss of global biodiversity. Better understanding of life on Earth will help us to protect valuable ecosystem services and make new bio-based discoveries in the realms of food, fiber, fuel, pharmaceuticals, and bio-inspired innovation.
The budget request includes funding in the Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction account for the continued construction of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Once completed, NEON will provide the infrastructure necessary to collect data across the United States on the effects of climate change, land use change, water use, and invasive species on natural resources and biodiversity. This information will be valuable to scientists, resource managers, and government decision makers as they seek to better understand and manage natural systems.
The requested budget would allow NSF to build upon its central role in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Support for the scientific training of undergraduate and graduate students is critically important to our research enterprise. Students recruited into science through NSF programs and research experiences are our next generation of innovators and educators. In short, NSF grants are essential to the nation's goal of sustaining our global leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and reigniting our economic engines.
We encourage the Committee to provide the requested funding for the successful Graduate Research Fellowship program. The budget request would provide funding for 2,000 new fellowships, which are important to our national effort to recruit and retain the best and brightest STEM students. The budget would also provide a needed $2,000 increase to the fellowship's stipend, which has not changed since 2004.
The agency budget request also would provide important research support to early career scientists, helping them to initiate their research programs. The Faculty Early Career Development program (CAREER) supports young faculty who are dedicated to integrating research with teaching and learning. The FY 2013 budget would enable NSF to support approximately 40 more CAREER awards than in FY 2012.
Continued investments in the biological sciences are critical. The budget request for NSF will help spur economic growth and innovation and continue to build scientific capacity at a time when our nation is at risk of being outpaced by our global competitors. Please support an investment of at least $7.373 billion for NSF for FY 2013.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request and for your prior efforts on behalf of science and the National Science Foundation.

Bakerella's Mickey Mouse Pops
The hubster and I don't have any children (yet). The yet is completely inconsequential to both my parents and in-laws who basically think we are giant losers because we have not given them any grandbabies. A few days ago, my mom said, "I'm always so embarrased when I go out to lunch with friends and I have to tell them that I don't have any grandchildren." Yup mom, your daughter and son-in-law, both of whom have advanced degrees, are self-sufficient, responsible individuals (who recycle and have no overdue library books!) have completely failed you :).
The point being, when you don't have any children and neither do any of your siblings, you can love on your friends' babies. It's the best kind of love. You hug and squish these adorable babies while they happily drool and giggle and as soon as they begin to cry, you pass them off to the nearest biological parent. That is exactly what I planned to do this past weekend, as my darling friend's even more darling son turned one. It seemed only fitting that I make Bakerella's famous Mickey Mouse pops for the, you guessed it, Mickey Mouse themed birthday.
I opted to make the silhouette versions because I think they look more sophisticated than the ones with faces painted on. Ok, I'm lying. I opted to make the silhouette versions because it was possible to make them in the three hours before the party whereas it would've taken me days to paint faces on the darn pops. Even without faces, the pops took a long time. And the pre-pops? They took even longer. See, my neurotic self had to figure out some way to display the completed pops. A box wouldn't do. Neither would a bowl. And so, I dragged the hubster to numerous art and party supply stores until we discovered these babies. Perfect. I'm sure they were intended to display a bunch of proudly waving flags, it being close to the fourth of July n' all. They also made perfect vessels for my pops. Yay for patriotism!
So, I got the majority of supplies the weekend before the party. I was going to make the pops the morning of. Things were perfectly in place. Or so I thought until Wednesday night when I went to my local grocery store to pick up a bag of candy hearts for Minnie Mouse's hair bow. Simple right? Not so much because candy hearts are only sold in a precise 2.5 week window before Valentine's Day. After that, the same cinammon candy is only made in circular form. I then spent the next two days scouring every specialty candy store within a 50 mile radius but there was nary a candy heart to be found.
Friday night and countdown to cake pops was underway. I was sitting dejectedly at my computer trying to convince myself that my little one-year-old friend would understand if I only made Mickey Mouse pops. But really, what's Mickey without Minnie right? So I started contemplating ways to make those darn red bows. I tried carving red licorice, using halved M&Ms (and for the record, it's hard halving M&Ms), and painting bows with icing. None of the options resulted in the adorable bows I was going for (but I enjoyed eating the failures). So there I was at 10:00 p.m. after a long week of work and I thought, what if I molded the bows out of sugar paste? Two problems. One, I'd never molded anything out of sugar paste. Two, I was not really sure what sugar paste was.
A quick internet search later, I marched into my kitchen and begin concocting me some sugar paste. Think play dough but sweet. Forty-five minutes, one bottle of food coloring, and two psychotically pink hands later, I was staring at my sugar paste. By now, it was close to midnight so I did what any sane girl would do. I start molding me some hair bows fit for Minnie Mouse.
Saturday morning, I relaxedly had my cup (ok, two cups) of coffee and read the newspaper. I was a woman content with the knowledge that I had done all of the prep work for my cake pops. I was certain the pops would be made well before I needed to leave for the party. Heck, I even thought I'd have enough time to straighten my hair to impress the one-years-olds at the party. That is, before I discovered that icing color is different from candy color. Three drops of black icing color in my melted chocolate, the entire concoction seized and I was staring at a giant black mess eerily resembling a tarantula. A laughing tarantula. I frantically read through Bakerella's instructions. Yup, in her wisdom, she clearly noted that you must use candy color because it doesn't contain water. I grabbed the bottle of icing color. First ingredient, water. Blast! I frantically tried to fix my icing (all the while muttering, "Frick, frick, frick" a la Elliot). This took (a lot) longer than anticipated. I then tied the bows trying not to touch the pops (for the record, I now hate ribbon). Oh, and then, I had to figure out some way to refrigerate the pops in a refrigerator crowded with 43 bottles of condiments and sauces, 6 loaves of bread ranging from sourdough to the hubster's boring 100% whole wheat, and one lonely, six-month-old fruitcake, courtesy of our ever so generous neighbor.
Needless to say, I didn't have time to straighten my hair before the parties. The one-year-olds missed out. But I did manage to run in, Mickey and Minnie mouse pops in hand, and a big smile on my face. And I'm glad I did because the party was lovely. Friends and family came out in droves to celebrate with the little man while he contentedly ate his way through his own chocolate cake (more of it ended up in his hair and on his clothes than in his mouth). I wished I was young enough to scramble for candy from the pinata (and yes, the hubster physically restrained me or you know I would have been in that pinata line). And I saw the other side of my good friend, the ever composed attorney. The mama bear side that wiped snotty noses, rescued vases seconds before kids knocked them over, and proudly watched over her brood. It was a good Saturday, indeed.

Wow! those look so good. Don't you hate it when you have a specific idea in your head and no matter what the obstacles, you will do anthing to achieve it? I totally get this post and have been on mad witch-hunts for ingredients and little something-specials. It's infuriating but also totally worth it in the end!ReplyDelete
Your cake pops look great! If I knew you were going to try to make them a couple hours before the party I would've tried to warn you and suggest at least a day or two before. Those cakepops we made took us 4 1/2 hours and we weren't even finished. Plus we had 3 people working. Kudos to you for getting the job done girl! They look adorable! I gotta say, you sure must love that one year old to go through all this for him, lucky guy.ReplyDelete
Bravo on another thoroughly entertaining story! I am stunned and in awe that you made all those adorable and perfect bows and it was your first time ever using sugar paste (don't think for a moment that I've ever attempted it 'cuz i haven't).ReplyDelete
These looks awesome. Congratulations, you pulled it through. Great job!ReplyDelete
I am so impressed! And I'm feeling you with the baby pressure. I sometimes want to tell my parents and in-laws, "If you want another baby that badly, have one yourself!". You are clearly talented in many ways, and I know my niece and nephew would be ecstatic if I handed them a handful of these!ReplyDelete
These are AWESOME. WHEN and IF you're ready to have babies, you're going to be a great mom! In the meantime, your friends are super lucky!ReplyDelete
That was so incredibly funny and i completely agree about the baby bit..have been getting it from everyone fr the past few yrs now!ReplyDelete
Fantastic job! Completely understand the baby pressure and the need to be in line for a hit at the pinata (and how the Missoion: Impossible song pushes you out of the loop for obscure things)... I have my birthday coming up and my hubby said "if you really want one then get one".. I settled for a tiki sippy cup for my frosty beverages since I don't want to be called a copycat in lieu of the last two parties we've been too :) Can't wait to read more of your adventures!ReplyDelete
These are so totally awesome! I love the little hair bows on the Minnies... they're utterly charming.ReplyDelete
BTW, I'm firmly entrenched in the cool kidless auntie camp too, and I totally hear you on the nagging from the family. Not that I don't love kids... I just like 'em better when they belong to someone else. :)
Wow these are so cute! I'd never have the artistic capabilities to pull this off. lolReplyDelete
These are absolutely adorable:) And I always enjoy ready your posts, so much fun...ReplyDelete

This is my favorite post yet :)ReplyDelete
Absolutely adorable!ReplyDelete
WOW!! I am so very impressed...they came out great.ReplyDelete
Okay, so: 1) you are A.MAY.ZING.; 2) how frickin' cute are these?!, and 3) I have so completely been there - frickety frackin' thing (whatever it may be at the moment) won't just simply behave and it gets PERSONAL.ReplyDelete
Ver' nice, much success!
oh, and 4) ps, Bakerella is my secret girlfriend... LOVE!
Those pops look amazing, especially the bows ;-)ReplyDelete
At least that whole palaver paid off!
Oh no! Major inferiority attack coming on! Does everyone else know how to make cake pops....but me??? They look amazing! I wouldn't even try - they require more patience and digital dexterity than I will ever have in this or any other life time.ReplyDelete
Btw - don't think you'd be off the hook after you pop a baby out. Noooooooooo! Case in point; I have 3 boys, I am past 40, AND my mum and mum-in-law are both still holding their breath for a grandDAUGHTER! Parents. You just GOT to love them!
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2010 at 12:29 AM
wow these look really good! i don't think i have that much willpower or patience to do these like you! well done though! :DReplyDelete
Cake pops!!! they are SO cute! I really like them. The black color really makes them "pop". your mom sounds like my mom hahaha. we haven't had any kids (yet) and she keeps asking me every single time when we talked seriously!ReplyDelete
These are totally amazing! I want some Mickey Mouse pops for my birthday too puleeze! :P Your post made me laugh because it reminded me of my mom and mom in law who believe the sole purpose of R and I existing is to give them grand children!!! Sigh..ReplyDelete
those pops are beautiful!! I hope you took some over to your mom! sigh......mothers are all the same, tell her to be thankful your not octomom!ReplyDelete
LOL! That is hysterical. These are very cute and should be after all of that! I made a Mickey Mouse birthday cake for my son at age 4 (who will be 21 in Aug). I made it in 3 bowls and did all the face painting and black icing stuff. It was cute, but we refused to eat a black cake! We were telling him we were going to Disney World so it was worthwhile. Your story brought back that birthday memory from many years ago!ReplyDelete
You have me laughing with your story about children :) But for my husband and I all of our siblings have children so at least our parents are a distracted a bit with those grandchildren.ReplyDelete
I love your take on the Pop, they look great & I would have loved to try them, lucky party guests:)
You really outdid yourself. I hope the kid remembers all the fuss.ReplyDelete
OMG! You had me at advanced degrees and no overdue library books! Hilarious.ReplyDelete
Also completely blown away by your perseverance and your determination to self-educate :)
Lovely post! Awesome candy pops!
Your ingenuity and determination paid off--these pops are beautiful! Great job!ReplyDelete
Oh I melted in the face of all the goodness in this post. And I salute your dedication and your success in not only making sugarpaste from scratch, then moulding those darling perfect bows from it!ReplyDelete
Just awesome.
You think my tart was fancy for a pool party when you brought these amazing creations for a ONE year-olds birthday??? I think our issue is that we both express our love for friends and family through cooking and so only the best will do, eh? ;)ReplyDelete

So adorable. I wish I had the patience and steady hands to do this. Looks so great!ReplyDelete
Wow, those look absolutely awesome.ReplyDelete
I don't have kids either. My in-laws are Pakistani and in their culture they do the same harassment about kids. Eventually they stopped. Mr P and I have been married 11 years. If we were going to have kids, we would have had them already.
When I make treats i feed them to the biggest baby I know: ME.
*kisses* HH
These Mickey mouse pops look so cuteee...wish I could have one too :-)ReplyDelete
For the Apple Blueberry Crumble, you could use normal sugar too.
amazingly creative fantastic!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 8, 2010 at 11:27 AM
These are so cute! I had enough trouble mastering plain old cake balls, so the Mickey Mouse shape is totally impressing me right now :)ReplyDelete
OHHHHHHHHHH MY GOODNESS. I HEAR ABOUT THESE ON LEQUAN'S BLOG AND NEARLY CRY IN ECSTASY EVERY TIME.ReplyDelete
I don't know what it is about cake pops that just makes me want to pop. Ha...ha. No seriously yours look amazing, and though I have yet to try them, I'm really looking forward to doing so. I'm still a bit intimidated, I must admit, at the seemingly complicated process. One day, one day...!
xo Aletheia
Now that took some dedication! Those look incredible!ReplyDelete
Great job with these! I recently made some cake pops from Bakerella basically by accident when I had a blueberry bundt cake fail. These look amazing and would be absolutely great for kids (big or small). :)ReplyDelete
Btw, I left you a blog award on my site, come and check it out!
You did a great job! I'm a huge fan of Bakerella and her cake pop creations. You did a splendid job with the sugarpaste, especially since it was your first time! And you did a great job of fixing your seized chocolate. Love your writing style. Look forward to seeing your future creations!ReplyDelete
I have yet to make Bakerella's cake pops. I don't think mine will turn out this beautifully. I love the silhouette version very much and the bows are just darling.ReplyDelete
I love how blunt Indian/Pakistani parents are...no kids = total failure, right? You crack me up!ReplyDelete
These are adorable, especially the little hair bows! I have never seen such perfection in a dessert. Seriously. Is there anything you can't do?? Please, make me feel better by sharing something!!

Hi AzminaReplyDelete
I got her from CherryOnCake blog and firstly, congrats for winning her red box contest :)
Secondly, same shoes we are in here.. after 5 years of trying, we still do not have kids(yet) and I have been spending my time cooking,baking,eating,just about anything to do with food!
Anyway, great blog!
I love this mickey mouse inspired cookie. Btw, may I know where to get the black coloring? I have been searching in bake with yen, but can't find it.. I am at Taman Tun Dr Ismail (the damansara one not the shah alam one)
Thanks heaps!
My mom keeps reminding me that she wants to be a young grandmother so I totally empathize with your parental woes.ReplyDelete
I don't have any nieces, nephews, or friends with babies. But I do know some guys with the mentality of a five year old...so I can make these for them right?
They came out splendidly even after all of your trials and tribulations!
Wow, I'm super impressed! I tried making Bakerella's turkey cake pops 2 years ago for Thanksgiving, and let's just say, I need a bit more practice...ReplyDelete
Pure gold... the story and the treats. I laughed right out loud, in total commiseration, over the noted failure in the wake of great success. Oh irony... :)ReplyDelete
Oh dear friend . . . you brought me to tears :) Eres un AMOR amiga mia! And YES - despite my current employment predicament it still took me THIS long . . . what can I say?!? And of course, WHAT A HIT!!!!ReplyDelete
YOU DID IT!!! After the blood, sweat, tears, cussing... it worked out in the end non? I think you did brilliantly. I probably would have ended up crying and making something else entirely for the themed-party ;)ReplyDelete
The pops are great! I don't have the patience.ReplyDelete
Love your story about being childless - I've been married 14 years and we are child-free. Our parents just gave up on us....

awww the Pops are sooo sweet, adorable!ReplyDelete
I hear you on your 1st paragraph, although my own parents understand why we don't have kids yet. :) The plight of desi children I guess. hehe.
I love your blog and gave you an award, check it out here: http://www.simplymaren.com/index.php/2010/07/onos-without-the-on-in-the-os/ReplyDelete
Those are adorable. My husband and I don't have kids yet either and his side (his two younger siblings have a total of five kids already) thinks we're losers for not procreating too. I just rub it in their face that I can sleep in. And my life still has a bit of spontaneity.ReplyDelete
You can actually think that you are so creative for making those little Minnie bakerell. You will sure have your baby soon.ReplyDelete
I love these! AmandaReplyDelete
Yer FUNNY! 15 years ago my HUBBSIES suprised me and bought every bag of Micky & Minnie Mouse LOVE pops. They filled two grocery bags about half full. I was searching for a pic of them and came across your page..sooo sweet! They were red heart lolly pops (LOVE POPS)ReplyDelete
Very Very Cute ..Love yours TOO!
looks good! I tried making cake pops twice before and they failed each time! *sigh* 3rd times the charm? lolReplyDelete
and haha! I get you with the children thing. I'm only 19 and UNMARRIED and my mom is always saying how she has horrible children and she wants grandkids (in her defense my sis is 25). LOL I'm like MOM. I'm 19. Her response? "In my day girls were married and had 2 kids by that age"
"Mom you had your first kid when you were 25."

Dr. Jack Mulder Jr., assistant professor of philosophy at Hope College, is author of the book "Kierkegaard and the Catholic Tradition," published earlier this fall by Indiana University Press of Bloomington.
Although Kierkegaard was a Lutheran, Mulder notes that he was dissatisfied with the Lutheran establishment of his day, with some scholars suggesting that he sought to push his faith toward Catholicism. Mulder's book provides an extended look into convergences and differences between Kierkegaard's thought and Catholicism, including on issues such as natural theology, natural moral law, Christian love, apostolic authority, the doctrine of hell, contrition for sins, the doctrine of purgatory and the communion of saints.
Dr. C. Stephen Evans of Baylor University, who is himself a Kierkegaard scholar, has said of the book, "There have been many comments made about Kierkegaard and Catholicism by various writers, but this is the first serious look at the places where there may be coherence and where there is tension."
Mulder, who has taught at Hope since the fall of 2004, specializes in the philosophy of religion, Kierkegaard's thought and their points of contact with the Catholic tradition. His book "Mystical and Buddhist Elements in Kierkegaard's Religious Thought" was published by Edwin Mellen Press of Lewiston, N.Y., in 2005, and he is also the author of multiple scholarly articles in professional journals or book chapters in edited volumes regarding Kierkegaard.
He is a 2000 Hope graduate, and completed his master's and doctorate at Purdue University in 2003 and 2004 respectively. He taught at Purdue prior to joining the faculty at Hope.

Planting seeds on the front lawn for tomorrow's students
9 May 2013
The University of Sydney's iconic front lawns became a giant outdoor classroom for 700 eight- and nine-year-olds yesterday.
For most of these students, drawn from 13 primary schools across Sydney, mainly from the greater west and the south west, Year Three Discover University was their first hands-on experience of university life.
"The event is part of the 'Discover' phase of our programs," said Annette Cairnduff, Director of Social Inclusion at the University of Sydney. The initiative also includes activities at each school before and after their University visit.
"The students left with stories of mummies, marshmallows, beebots and bridge making - and possibly a bit of Hogwarts. More importantly they have now been to a university campus, met and talked with students, academics and researchers, and got a feel for what goes on at the University of Sydney," added Cairnduff.
Each child undertook four of 32 activities provided by the 13 faculties and schools at the University, as well as by the University Library, ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotion, Sydney University Sport and Fitness and the Sydney University Museums and Gallery.
Ruqaya from Fairfield Public School learnt about some of the basics of engineering: "We got to build a bridge with lollies and we had to put blocks together and see how much they weighed." Her friend Mantoura learnt about an important issue for controlling the spread of illness: "I washed my hands and cleaned them and checked them with a special light to see if there were still germs."
Chloe from Revesby South Public School was given a set of paintings and asked to design an art exhibition, before moving onto a class about power in Australia: "We went to an art gallery and we learnt how to put pictures together and be art curators. Then we learnt about the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and voting."
Annette Cairnduff says the idea behind the program is the crucial role early exposure to tertiary education plays in the choices children make later on. "Research tells us that the majority of students who are currently at university began thinking about it in primary school," she says.
Last year more than 12,000 primary and high school students participated in the University's Compass program. More than 30,000 students have taken part in the program since it began in 2009. "We are really starting to see the impact of our work in schools as the kids move up through into high school and senior school," Cairnduff said.
"We couldn't do this work without the terrific and dedicated engagement of staff and students from faculties and central areas of the University," she added.

Rowan University Percussion Ensemble: Nosferatu
The music is commanding and powerful. Rossi and clarinetist Andy Laster are the prime soloists. The Rowan University Percussion Ensemble, consisting of ten percussionists and eight bassists, lavishly embellish the dark and light passages with all manner of interpretive speech. Rowan University Music Department Chairman Dean Witten conducted the massive undertaking.
The intrigue of this performance is pervasive, but its imagery is startlingly realistic and communicative. Rossi scurries over the keys depicting lighter film moments and then seeps deeply into the darkness with ponderous thunder as the action becomes morose. Laster intertwines clarinet passages that spring freely from his instrument to cloak the mood swings. The clarinet has the capacity to evoke numerous feelings, and Laster sets the shifting scenes with his conceptual outpourings.
The percussionists play an extremely important role in this presentation. Lighthearted vibes and marimba tones transform into segments portraying sinisterness. Similarly, the bassists add their brand of aural description of the action, such as during stalking scenes and other stealthy, heart- stopping sections. All of these emotions are suggested by Rossi and the orchestra without one needing to be actually watching the movie.
As the film progresses deeper and deeper into its ghoulish plot, the music realistically relays the images to the mind. Rossi ponders over the keys and Laster portrays cautiousness that soon erupts into a state of frightening agitation when the inevitable consequences of the storyline unfold in full. The kettledrums explode, the bassists become frenzied, and Rossi and Laster continue to transport the visions in compelling musical terms. Rossi often steered the ensemble into sections of free improvisation to provide spontaneity to the action.
Although this gigantic effort was done in support of the silent film, it stands on its own as a significant artistic work. Rossi's score and improvisations contain all the elements necessary to stimulate a demanding musical appetite, and the intricate blending of Laster's clarinet with the percussionists' and bassists' nuances cum overt outbursts makes the recording an emotionally charged, cross-genre event.

Old Fort Niagara reports the consul general of France, Bertrand Lortholary, paid a visit and inspected 18th century French buildings at Old Fort Niagara on March 13.
A career diplomat, Lortholary was appointed consul general to the U.S. in August. He previously served as an adviser to Oceana and Asia for former President Nicolas Sarkozy.
In addition to viewing the fort, Lortholary witnessed a musket demonstration by an interpreter dressed in the uniform of the Regiment de Bearn, a French infantry unit that served at the fort during the French and Indian War. He also inspected French documents and artifacts in the fort's collections.
Pictured from left are Old Fort Niagara Interpretive Programs Manager Jason Buckley, Lortholary, Old Fort Niagara Executive Director Robert Emerson, Evelyne Harris of the Alliance Francaise de Buffalo, and Pascal Soares, honorary French consul for Western New York.

Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo opened in 1911 in the Isar floodplains conservation area. With more than 19,000 animals in around 40 hectares of grounds, it is one of the biggest and most bio-diverse zoos in Germany and was the world's very first 'geo-zoo'.
Hellabrunn Zoo is home to more than 19,000 animals from around 750 species. Penguins, elephants, kangaroos, sea lions, birds of prey and tigers: from the most comical of monkeys to the cutest of cubs, animals from all continents are grouped together here with other creatures from the same geographical regions.
Just like in the wild, the African giraffe savannah is populated by giraffes, meerkats and porcupines. But it's not all outdoor enclosures here. There are also fascinating worlds hidden away in the animal houses: the reptiles are found in the jungle house, where they live under one roof with gorillas, chimpanzees, birds and tropical fish. In the aquarium you can see more than 9,000 fish, corals and jellyfish as well as the blacktip reef sharks swimming around in their 14-metre-long tank.
The children's zoo with its adventure playground and petting zoo is always popular with the little ones. Hellabrunn Zoo also has a toddler-friendly water park with a treetop trail and family-friendly café. People of all ages will love the shows and feeding displays featuring the elephants, polar bears and lions. The undisputed stars among the zoo's inhabitants are the adorable baby animals. With more than 19,000 animals at Hellabrunn Zoo there are new additions throughout the year and each one is looking forward to your visit!

Tank Lining
Steel Tanks - Concrete Tanks - Fibreglass Tanks.
Cost on average approximately 10% the cost of replacing a tank (or an effective saving of 90%).
Lining Installation work on large tanks completed in a few short weeks.
Lining installation work on small tanks completed in a few days.
Can extend the practical working life of a tank by 30 plus years. (2)
In over 35 years working with tanks have found that almost any tank, in any condition, can be lined and brought back into service.
In our throwaway society far too often, older tanks are discarded when in reality they can delivery effective service for many years to come.
We have revitalised many tanks which would have otherwise been dismantled and destroyed needlessly, with all the cost, hassle and financial implications of removing the old tank and installing the new one.
At Specialist Coatings we repair and restore old corroded tanks with our solvent free technology, to further the life of the tanks by 5 to 25 + years depending on the system used and our customer's requirements.
In our many years of experience we have refurbished tanks in every conceivable condition of corrosion and decay with many problems, but we always work with the customer to find the most cost effective solution.
We pride ourselves on our longevity within the industry, and our
commitment to restoring corroded and neglected tanks nationally and internationally.
Specialist Coatings (GB) Limited carry out surface preparation, application and testing an extensive range of tank lining products which are designed to meet every corrosion and containment challenge. The refurbishment or lining of an existing tank is more cost effective than replacing a tank and certainly more environmentally friendly.
A minute hole in the internal protective lining of an aggressive chemical bulk storage tank can rapidly become an extremely serious problem. It is potentially very dangerous to personnel and the environment and could lead to product loss and wastage.
Any contamination of food or drink stored in a process vessel with a substandard internal surface could necessitate the disposal of the entire production batch or permanently give your client a lower impression of the standard of your product than it really deserves.
The cost of a failed container is not only the repair cost, but the lost material or product, the lost time and in some cases the cost of providing a replacement tank.
The rules that we apply have been learned from many years of experience:
- Choose the right materials for the job
- Prepare the surfaces correctly
- Apply the coating as specified
- Test the results
There are no short cuts: to stop corrosion and to protect the tank we use the right materials, the right tools for the job, and we test the results until we are completely satisfied.
In short... We are specialists.
All our services are available as a single turn key operation or on a consultancy basis for any element from specifying a suitable lining material, preparing and applying the new lining, to quality control, inspection and testing the work by other contractors. (including dry film thickness and micro-porosity checks.)
Food grade, chemical resistant and high temperature lining material variants available.
We offer a supply of tank lining materials directly for trade and professional use and also for DIY applications.
We can supply for quantities of resin lining repair kits to make localised patch repairs in tanks with existing resin linings.

- By using a "think first, talk later" approach, introverts give themselves time to ponder, while appearing measured and thoughtful; this also gives subordinates a chance to contribute and can keep leaders from making mistakes by jumping in too fast.
- They ask questions and take an in-depth approach to conversations, yielding more learning and understanding.
- They appear calm, usually through anticipating issues, practicing what to say, and getting themselves in the right frame of mind before communicating.
The article notes that some 40 percent of leaders are introverts, and the author, in a separate article, reports:
In today's extroverted business world, introverts can feel ignored, overlooked, and misunderstood. In fact, according to my research—a two-and-a-half year national study of introverted professionals—four out of five introverts say extroverts are more likely to get ahead in their workplace. What's more, over 40 percent say they would like to change their introverted tendencies, but don't know where or how to begin.What do you introverts think? Share your tactics in the comments.

Re: libauto and application.library
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2015 2:31 pm
New programs should use "timer.device" instead. Also CIA chips are only available on classic machines so I don't think it's worth fixing something that no-one will use anyway.whose wrote: Maybe it´s time for a second .xml then, although they are identical in form and function? Sometimes it´s better to break SDK compatibility then to make coder´s live harder (I don´t think that there is so much vital OS4 code that makes use of the CIA resources).
As I said before it makes no sense to generate a libauto from *all* the interface xml files (some are h/w dependent, some may use per task library bases, others may not be for general application use at all). Better would be to just have a list of common OS libraries that the libauto is generated from where new libraries can easily be added or removed as needed.

You might need to head to Australia to find them (Brian? Luke?). Or at least, that's where the sure bet is. A story in the Sydney Morning Herald last weekend cites figures showing 41 percent of gamers in Australia are women, and also 38 percent in the United States, both figures representing growth. The Herald also says that if the trend continues, it will be 1:1 guys/girls gaming by 2014.
In Oz, female gamers represent the largest growing sector of the population, although that's to be expected considering boys' long long history with games and the fact so many titles are written with male players in mind.
The story says that this comes mostly on the back of singing/music games, Wii titles, the Sims (EA says 60 percent of players are female) and games where violence and action is either nonexistent or not realistic. But for games there really isn't much that's comparable to the chick-flick segment in film.
Will that change? As the generation of girls who grew up with games gets older, will we see them eventually making the majority of entertainment choices in a relationship, much as they do with movies or rentals?

UPDATE: Hey, few have hated Entourage more than I have in recent seasons. Judging from your comments, you still think the show stinks up HBO.
Maybe I'm just more easily amused these days after what feels like a summer devoid of entertainment (especially at the box office), but HBO's Entourage seems less predictable and more realistic about Hollywood this season. Tonight's episode with Jeremy Piven, Aaron Sorkin, and Gary Cole was unexpected and (dare I say it) hilarious. In a recent episode, George Segal did a superb Bernie Brillstein imitation (complete with ugly yellow sweater). And last week's show had a sotto voce line about buying guns at John Milius' garage sale that made me laugh out loud.

12 Days of Christmas Beer: Schlafly Christmas Ale
Editor's Note: To help you get in the spirit, we'll be featuring a Christmas beer or a Winter Warmer every day for 12 days. Got a favorite seasonal brew? Let us know in the comments.
Warm spices are amplified by the rich body and high alcohol of this Christmas Ale from Schlafly in St. Louis. The addition of fragrant orange peel is quite apparent, along with an ample serving of clove and cardamom. The orange helps this beer stand out from the cinnamon-and-ginger-scented pack—it's a warming, smooth option, with a bit of a jagged edge where the alcohol comes through.
This cold-weather beer would work nicely with barbecue, especially with a tangy vinegar-based sauce. Or try it with old-school Americanized Chinese food—Orange Beef would be perfect here.

Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol. 2
Here's a quick overview of what I said about that first volume to help explain the latest addition to the series, Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol. 2, the subject of today's review: "The anime series is as much a tribute to the original movie as a futuristic update contained in a full 26 episode series by Gonzo as released domestically by FUNimation Entertainment. If ever there was a wealth of material to explore and revisit, it is surely the original tale by the legendary Kurosawa and thankfully, based on the first four episodes contained in Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 Vol. 1, I have the pleasant task of telling the rest of you how great this series promises to be. Here's the overview from the back DVD cover before I get too far into my review, noting that it sets the stage for the series quite nicely:
"Set in a futuristic world that has just witnessed the end of a massive war, scores of villages are terrorized by Nobuseri bandits. But the Nobuseri are no normal bandits. They were once Samurai, who during the war integrated their living cells with machines to become dangerous weapons now appearing more machine than man. Absolute power corrupts, and their reign of terror is increasing its hold on the countryside. But one group of villagers has had enough, deciding to hire samurai to protect their village. Kiara is a young priestess who travels to the city seeking out protection. One by one, she encounters brave samurai that the war has left behind. These men and women of skill and valor are each unique and not without their quirks. But can they come together as one to defend the helpless village?"
The episodes this time were 5) The Drifter, 6) The Fool, 7) The Friend, and 8) The Guardians. The primary thrust of them was to add to the cast of samurai joining the cause as Kirara's quest continued to meet resistance from the ruling merchant (and his spoiled son). An important government figure is assassinated and the Magistrate takes advantage of the situation to route out all remaining samurai in the city as suspects, placing them under lock and key. Needless to say, the group of adventurers sees this in decidedly mixed terms with one thought being it will make recruitment more difficult while the other holding that any samurai lame enough to get caught by the officials wouldn't be worth having. It does present some unique problems however and forces the team on the road when all is said and done, causing the loss of one party member while others joined up.
The underlying theme that the Nobuseri (the mechanized bandits that are the main problem of the villagers hiring the samurai) are still out there and in need of being stopped was downplayed in the initial episodes as Ukyo, the Merchant's spoiled son hot for Kirara, attempts to gain her for his own (much to the dismay of his father). Kikuchiyo, the mechanized man-turned-machine, continues to turn in the comic relief (sometimes unintentional at that), with the addition of two strange samurai, Kambei's old friend Shichiroji, and a young but skilled Heihachi (the wood chopping samurai). Fleeing the area under duress, they meet a set of powerful warriors with strange attributes, the Guardians, who are powerful enough that even the Magistrate's men leave them alone. In all though, the spirit of Kurosawa's original movie did not meet the dreaded sophomore slump as some have claimed, even if a few of the scenarios weren't as great as the rest of the cast.
As I said before: "Okay, how does the series hold up to the original material you ask? It holds up extremely well in my opinion. While Seven Samurai may indeed be referred to by many as the perfect movie, the modernization of it can be viewed as an homage more than an attempt to cash in. As I understand it, the amount of money spent on this series equates to making it one of the most expensive movies (far surpassing any anime series to date) in Japanese history with something akin to $8 million spent on it. Every dollar shows up on the screen too with a complex layer of backgrounds and technical excellence rarely found these days; providing me hope that future volumes live up to the promise set forth here. I know some purists will dismiss this one as yet another wannabe but as the owner of an original OOP copy of Criterion's release, I think action fans will find a lot to like here.
Another benefit of this update is that it provides a more complex tale in the samurai vein, milking the additional material that details the rise of the merchant class along with the decline of the warrior age of honor, truth, and skill as embodied by the samurai. Say what you will about war, military progress, and the mindset needed to promote such things but the fact remains that the duplicity of the merchants and their world will likely be a major factor in the remaining volumes, and a welcome addition given what was shown here. I haven't seen any criticism of the show just yet (the movie comes out tomorrow and even the official website had precious little information for this fan) but taken on its own terms, this seems like one of the best anime releases of the year already, no small task given just one set of four episodes is available at this time. I'm going to rate it as Highly Recommended for a general audience and even higher for anime fans of action releases. FUNimation has another winner on its hands with Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol. 2 but check it out for yourselves rather than rely on critics like myself."
Picture: Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol. 2 was presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen color with a healthy mixture of traditional anime techniques as well as the increasingly common CGI modern series are employing. I saw no visual flaws worth mentioning, including no compression artifacts or video noise, with a seamless look to most of the combined styles this one used to convey the story. On sheer look alone, it merited more than a second glance due to the manner in which the elements were used to tell the time tested story as modernized by anime. I watched it several times and saw more detail each time but the story kept me focused, drawing me in over and over again, so any flaws you see will be the product of a vivid imagination or weak equipment outside of stuff so minor that fans aren't going to care about.
Sound: The audio was presented with the traditional choice of a 5.1 Dolby Digital track in either the original Japanese with English subtitles or a English dubbed track. I listened to each track and found subtleties to enjoy with both of them, unlike many dubbed series that fall far short of the mark. The characters all sounded exactly right, without the kiddy styled goofiness used to often to draw a younger crowd. The special effects were also solid, using an understated method to achieve the auditory aspect of story telling. Lastly, the music score was well fitted to the show, making me long for a music CD of the material in order to hear if it would stand alone as so few scores to anime series are capable of. In general terms though, there was a lot of separation between the channels, great dynamic range, and a lot of care put into the audio worth upgrading an audio set up if need be.
Extras: The extras were decidedly less interesting this time but managed to capture my interest nonetheless with the standard image gallery, character profiles, textless songs, trailers and double sided DVD cover complemented by an incredibly silly (though totally addictive) CGI show called Mr. Stain on Junk Alley. The short was a hilarious skit involving three characters, Mr. Stain, a Rasta man type hobo, a sweater wearing cat named Palvan, and a little lizard called Rings as they sought to quench their appetites by scrounging the junk in an alley of a city. You'd have to see it to believe it folks but I want more!
Final Thoughts: Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol. 2 was full of the same qualities that made href=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=17298>Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 vol.1 one of the best, if not THE best anime release of the year. The artwork, music, story and care that went into putting them altogether were so exceptional that most of you will find it a quantum leap ahead of most other series released this year with no hint of a sophomore slump throughout the four episodes. If the rest of the series can maintain this kind of quality, it should be the crown jewel in the FUNimation empire, all for good reason mind you, and win accolades for years.

Kuapa Kokoo is located in Kumasi, at the centre of the cocoa growing region in the West of Ghana.
Cocoa production has a major role in Ghana's economy. The quality of cocoa beans from Ghana is ranked number one in the world and, with an average annual production of 707,000 tonnes in 2006-2012, the country is the world's second largest cocoa producer after Côte d'Ivoire. Almost all cocoa production is destined for export, making cocoa Ghana's second most important export commodity after gold.
Cocoa production is a major employer in Ghana, employing 3.2 million farmers and workers out of a total population of 25.3 million. Almost all cocoa grown in the country is produced by around 865,000 smallholder farmers.
Kuapa Kokoo, which means 'good cocoa farmer' in Twi, is a cocoa-growing co-operative set up in 1993 by a number of leading cocoa farmers who recognized the opportunity to organise farmers and found a company to market their own cocoa. The co-operative is also co-owner of the Divine Chocolate Company in the UK which markets chocolate products made from cocoa grown by Kuapa Kokoo.
In 2013, the organization had 87,907 members, of which 32% are women. Members of Kuapa Kokoo are predominantly small-holders highly reliant on cocoa income and living in remote and deprived parts of the country. In particular, most of the cocoa-growing villages do not have access to healthcare, clean drinking water, or electricity.
In 2013, the organization had 87,907 members, of which 32% are women.
Moreover, the majority of members have low levels of education – between 43%-60% are illiterate, and 27% received no education at all).
Members of Kuapa Kokoo grow high quality cocoa on farms averaging 6.8 hectares, three quarters of which allocated to cocoa. Farms are typically family-run, but larger farms sometimes employ seasonal labour.
Annual cocoa production has increased in recent years, from 19,139 tonnes in 2000, to 48,283 tonnes in 2013. This production represents 5.5% of Ghana's total production of 879,348 in 2012/2013.
Kuapa Kokoo was Fairtrade certified in 1995. In 2012/2013, Fairtrade sales accounted for 24,026 tonnes of cocoa, corresponding to around 50% of the annual production. For these sales, Kuapa Kokoo receives the Fairtrade Minimum Price or the auction price if higher. Kuapa Kokoo also receives the Fairtrade Premium of USD 200 per tonne to invest in a variety of things, including cash payments to individual farmers, but also community projects and organisational strengthening.
Kuapa Kokoo's partnership with Fairtrade is helping develop a strong, democratic institutional framework at all levels of the organization. With the additional income from Fairtrade Premiums, the co-operative has been able to improve the livelihoods of its members. The projects undertaken by Kuapa Kokoo have helped the farmers, especially the women, empower themselves, build confidence and independence, and ensure a sense of community participation and ownership.

I married into a family of bar lovers. No – not the "let's go out to the bar" lovers (although there are a few of those)… the other kind. The kind that you bake and eat. For every occasion or non-occasion when we are all together, you can bet that there are at least a couple of pans of bars to be had. It has become a bit of an inside running joke among my husband and I because the bar thing has gotten to be so predictable. If we are planning something, the question always is "who is going to bring the bars?" In fact, I am surprised that before I got married to him, I wasn't questioned on my bar making ability or my love for all things bar.
The non-bar history of mine has always made me feel like a bit of an outcast among my in-laws. Growing up, we didn't do bars. We did cookies. Bars were occasionally made for bake sales, but more often than not, traditional cookies were what we stuck to.
I'm finally happy to say that I may have finally found the cookie bar recipe that will give me the perfect in to my husbands family of bar lovers. Next time we have a reason to be together, I will proudly walk in carrying my very own pan of homemade Sugar Cookie Bars. I found this recipe on Annie's Eats a week ago and I seriously think it is the recipe that may finally make me fit in with the family.
Head over to Annie's Eats for the Sugar Cookie Bars recipe and get ready to become a part of the Bar Lovers clique.

#1 Calif. Mayor Chooses Occupy Rally Over Veterans Day Memorial11-13-2011, 12:04 AMThe mayor of Richmond, Calif. plans to skip her citys Veterans Day memorial events to attend an Occupy rally, a choice thats prompting anger and criticism.
Mayor Gayle McLaughlin will miss a Veterans Day salute Friday in favor of an Occupy Richmond public speak out, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
McLaughlin defended her decision, telling the newspaper that the city is not sponsoring the Veterans Day event, and the rally she will attend will honor Scott Olsen, the Iraq war veteran injured at an Occupy Oakland rally last month. Richmond and Oakland, both in the San Francisco Bay Area, are about 12 miles apart.
I choose to honor our veterans, not only on Veterans Day, but daily, by supporting an end to military warfare to prevent further fighting and dying in needless wars, she said in an email. I am a strong supporter of Veterans for Peace and Iraq Vets Against the War.
McLaughlin, a member of the Green Party elected to a second term last year, has been supportive of the Occupy Wall Street movement since its inception. In a message on her website dated Nov. 6, she said since it burst onto the scene, calling for an end to corporate domination all over the globe [w]e, in Richmond, are part of this movement and have everything to gain from it.
Her website also notes former White House green jobs czar Van Jones spoke at her 2010 re-election campaign kickoff.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, she marched in Occupy Oaklands general strike earlier this month the same march that turned into violent rioting. Asked whether she would support Fridays protesters if they decide to stay and camp after their rally, she told the Chronicle: Yeah, I would stand with them for that. I stand with this movement.
A message on her website urged Richmond residents to attend the Occupy rally as well, scheduled for 11 a.m. the same time as the Veterans Day events.
Jeff Rubin, a Veterans Day memorial organizer, told the San Jose Mercury News the mayor has very little respect for the country and traditions and wondered whether the date of the rally was picked on purpose a decision McLaughlin said had nothing to do with.
As mayor, she has a responsibility to everyone in our community, Rubin said. Not only the disenfranchised and the unemployed, but to the veterans as well.
Michael Klasno, director of Gold Star Dads of America, called the mayors choice a slap in the face to veterans and to grieving parents like himself.
You dont blow off the veterans of the United States for anybody, and you certainly dont blow if off for Occupy Wall Street, he said. As somebody whos paid the ultimate sacrifice, that to me is beyond the pale.
But McLaughlin countered that exercising freedom is respectful of veterans.
I think a good way to show respect for our veterans is to put all our energy into promoting the values that veterans fought for and some of them died for, she said.
Revelation 15:1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
The good people of Richmond can simply show her the door next election!:DMay the FORCE be with you!

I agree with the mayor in that I think we are warmongering in the ME and are sending our young people over to die, for what. However, Veteran's Day is to honor those who have served and are presently serving. It is for the troopos and not the policy makers.
Turnout is usually low even though Ike was buried here. We will do another ceremony for Pearl Harbor Day and will probably freeze our buns off. :)
