Cakespy: Cinnamon Rolls Stuffed With Thanksgiving Pie Leftovers Recipe
Quirky, cute, sometimes controversial, always delicious recipes from Jessie Oleson.
Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt.
You've had a few days to digest your Thanksgiving feast, but might still have some pie leftovers lingering in the fridge. And what better time to start carb-o-loading for the holiday season ahead than now.
My suggestion? Get double duty out of your leftovers while also building up some endurance for the epic eating season ahead by preparing cinnamon rolls stuffed with Thanksgiving pie leftovers.
Dice up the pie filling and stuff it in your cinnamon rolls before baking; reserve the crust and cut or crumble it on top for a satisfying crunch. A most delicious post-Thanksgiving breakfast indeed.
Note: I used jumbo pop-and-bake style cinnamon rolls (don't judge me), but you could use the homemade version of your choice. As for the pie, I filled my cinnamon rolls with leftover apple-cranberry pie; just about any baked pie would work, but I would not suggest using no-bake pies.
What's New On Serious Eats
- Yield:6
- 1 tube jumbo pop-and-bake cinnamon rolls (or homemade version of your choice)
- 1-2 slices leftover Thanksgiving pie per 6 cinnamon rolls
Preheat oven as directed on your tube of cinnamon rolls.
Prepare your pie. Gently cut away the filling from the crust. Put the filling in a small bowl; set to the side. Dice the crust into small pieces, and set in a separate small bowl.
On a work surface or plate, gently unroll your cinnamon rolls.
Spoon pie filling along the center of each unrolled cinnamon roll. You can put as much filling as you'd like, but keep in mind that the more filling you load on each unrolled cinnamon roll, the harder it will be to re-roll.
Re-roll the cinnamon rolls, and place them in a lightly greased baking tin or pie plate.
Sprinkle the cut-up pie dough pieces on top of the cinnamon rolls in the pan.
Bake for the time specified on the package or the recipe you're using.
Once golden on the tops and edges, remove from the oven. Pause and reflect if it would be simply too much to add frosting; decide that no, it would not be, and liberally douse your cinnamon rolls with the frosting of your choice.
Serve immediately; these are best enjoyed the same day baked.

The Grandmother of All BCS Disasters
After five years, you think the bugs would have been worked out of the BCS. Far from it. It all came crashing down in 2003 with split national champions.
Entering the final weekend of the season, three teams were vying for two spots in the Sugar Bowl. USC had one loss — in triple overtime at California, 34-31 — as did Louisiana State — at home to Florida, 19-7. No. 1 Oklahoma was undefeated entering the Big 12 title game against Kansas State.
USC defeated Oregon State, 52-28, and LSU beat Georgia, 34-13, in the Southeastern Conference title game. Oklahoma was routed by Kansas State, 35-7, in the Big 12 title game.
So who played in the Sugar Bowl? LSU and Oklahoma, of course. USC's anger was directed not only at the Sooners, but the Tigers as well. The Trojans' nonconference games were at Auburn and Notre Dame and home games against Hawaii and Brigham Young. LSU steamrolled Louisiana Monroe, Louisiana Tech and I-AA Western Illinois at home and Arizona on the road. As the Guru writes, "Just how LSU's schedule could be considered to be among the top 30 in the country showed the flaw in the [strength of schedule] ratings.
LSU, of course, beat Oklahoma, 21-14, in the Sugar Bowl. USC defeated Michigan, 28-14, in the Rose Bowl. LSU was named the BCS champion and USC was crowned the Associated Press champion.
Ted Waitt of Gateway Computers offered $31 million for LSU and USC to settle it on the field. LSU fans were upset with USC followers for claiming a piece of the title pie and eventually raised funds to put up a billboard across the street from the L.A. Coliseum.
Great system we have here. Great system.

ahem, Wiz, a second here please?
I hate LSU, but the simple fact is that the BCS conferences (the PAC 10 included) signed onto this agreement to designate the BCSNCG winner as *the* nat'l champ.
Thus, there is one, and ONLY one national champ for 2003, that is the LSU Tigers. The 2003 USC "championship" is as legitimate as Auburn's 2004 Fanspoll.com People's Championship.
Da truth is da truth, Wiz. There was no split champ. There was an AP poll champ and that champ (much like Auburn's Fanpoll 'champion') was not awarded the crystal trophy.
I love how you just list non-conference games to try and make LSU's schedule seem easier than USC's. That's a pretty intellectually dishonest way to go about things.
First of all, the teams that USC played were nowhere near as good as there names might make them seem. Auburn went 7-5 on the regular season, including a loss to LSU. Hawaii went 8-5 on the regular season, barely squeaking out a 3 point win against the same La. Tech team you earlier disparaged. Finally, BYU and Notre Dame managed 4-8 and 5-7 records respectively. The only ranked team that USC beat during the entire regular season was Washington State.
While LSU's non-conference slate may have been easier than USC's, which wasn't itself all that difficult, when you look at their top wins their case becomes much more clear. Specifically, LSU managed to hand a UGA team that went 10-1 versus everyone else during the regular, including a 3 point loss to Florida, two losses, including a 21 point neutral site beat down in the SEC Title Game.
The simple truth of the matter is that the Pac-10 was terrible in 2003. Even though USC scheduled decent names for their non-conference games, none of those teams were particularly good. Honestly, I think that if you look at it closely, USC had the easiest road to a national title in a long, long time.
Wasn't Reggie Bush accepting money during 2003? Doesn't that cancel USC out?
Either way, three 1 loss teams will always be a problem for the BCS. But it's still better than a playoff or the old bowl system.

Help! "Line Sync Error" message on the Tesla with the Universal Mobile NEMA 14-50
Help! "Line Sync Error" message on the Tesla with the Universal Mobile NEMA 14-50
IIRC I have read here that if the amps are too high you get that message, and solution was firmware upgrade.
I'm not sure I remember correctly, so don't take this as fact.
ask in www.teslamotorsclub.com for help if you haven't done already. Try to manually set your roadster to lower amps (eg 30 amps) and charge to full. If it works, increase by 5 amps on the next charge. This should verify your installation is delivering the amperage for NEMA 14-50 for an extended period.
With the UMC, manually set the current down to like 16amps and see if that works. If so, then move it up until it doesn't work.. You can change the current while the car is charging. So if it starts at 16, slowly increase the current. Watch the voltage on the display. It might drop with the higher current. If it drops too low you'll get that message. So if it does drop at higher currents and the car stops charging, get a different electrician. Voltage drop on a line is the product of current * resistance. Too much resistance in your wiring will cause a greater voltage drop with greater current. Could be using too small a gauge of wire, could be bad connection in the receptacle, could be a bad breaker or something else on the breaker. This is important. If there is too much resistance somewhere, that voltage drop is producing heat and power loss. That voltage drop * current is power going into heat which could be wires getting hot in your house or the receptacle. You don't want to burn your house down.
I had a similar problem and found that it was due to electrical (RF) interference from a Compact Flourescent light bulb located directly above the car. I replaced the light bulb with an incandescent bulb and the problem was resolved. My working theory is that some CF bulbs create a high frequency signal that is picked up on the sync line.
How did you find that out? That sounds like "the moon phase is wrong and there are too many sunspots" -type of problem for troubleshooting.
How did I find this out?... I was struggling with the issue, since it was intermittent and only seemed to happen when I was charging the car (in the evening), but when my wife drove the roadster, there was no problem with charging :-)
One Saturday evening, the car was charging fine, and when I walked into the garage, the light came on (motion sensor and light sensor), and the roadster gave a 'line sync error' and stopped charging. My 16 year old son was the one who suggested that it was the CF lightbulb... I didn't believe him at first, but after 2 hours of testing, we determined that 5 out of 8 of the different CF bulbs in our house would cause this issue 100% of the time.
Strange but true...
Strange indeed. Utter nightmare to find out unless you get lucky (like you did). Reminds me of one MS Word document which crashed the Word, and the reason turned out to be buggy display driver. That took some debugging too.
good to know that RF interference is a problem with EV infrastructure! A CF shouldn't be an unexpected item in the vicinity of a charging car. Any idea if some FCC rules were exceeded?
The usual FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) don't apply to automobiles. They are specifically excluded. Also there are no susceptibility requirements under the FCC rules (although there are under CE rules).
We only use CF bulbs in our house and in the garage; but have never experienced this problem. Was the bulb very close to the charger?
Tesla engineers need to be aware of this!!
Wow. Either the bulb was putting out way too much interference, or the Tesla is just too sensitive to it.
5 out of 8 bulbs did it, psusi. CF bulbs are insane crap.
Anne - did you ever find the source of the problem? (I guess I could ask you via email, but thought people might like to know the resolution ...) b.

Days for Knight: Consumer scolds busy contractor
One of the most frustrating situations a consumer faces is the self-employed businessperson who agrees to do a job, collects some or all of the payment, then either doesn't do the work or does it poorly.
Sometimes they answer calls and promise to follow through, and sometimes they don't; sometimes the phone has been disconnected. They can be tough to sue, because you can't sue someone who doesn't have an address, and therefore can't be served with a summons.
Floyd Artrips now knows this scenario chapter and verse. He and his wife built a home on Stable Lane, in Inglecress, in 1999. Artisan Construction, the general contractor, subcontracted the gutters to Knight Glass of Crozet.
"Last winter," Artrips wrote in an email to me, "we had gutter damage at one location from the ice, plus we had a number of connections that had developed leaks since the original installation. Although the gutters are seamless," he explained, "there are connections at the angles and downspouts."
Artrips claims that he called Knight Glass owner John Knight last March to get him to repair the ice damage. Although Knight was "very difficult" to get on the phone, Artrips says that when they did connect, Knight "promised to come out and do the repairs. He said there would be no charge for resealing the joints, and the ice-damage repair would be only $3 per foot (less than 20 feet of gutter was damaged)."
But Knight, by his own admission, never showed. "I have called him weekly since then to get him to come out," Artrips wrote. "When I am able to talk to him, he always promises to come and apologizes for not being there last time, but he never shows up." Most recently, Knight promised to do the work on Saturday, August 30, but, as he freely admits, he didn't appear.
I drove out to Stable Lane and took a look at Artrips' gutters, especially the part that had been damaged by ice. A flower bed that's otherwise dense with impatiens is bare under that section, and the surrounding patio bricks are thick with moss– both signs of excessive moisture.
I spoke with Knight and asked him why, six months after Artrips' first call, he had yet to do the work he'd promised. "It's a small job," he replied. He said that he would "probably get there" by the end of last week.
Artrips also contacted Doug Lowe, president of Artisan Construction, to see if the general contract might have more "leverage" with Knight. But, as Lowe told me, he hadn't used Knight as a subcontractor– or spoken to him– in "a couple of years." I asked why, and he said, "At various times, it's hard to get hold of him," but added that he had "no real beef" with Knight.
Lowe was chagrined to hear that Artrips hadn't had any luck getting Knight to repair the damaged section and seal the alleged leaks, and asked what he could do to help. All I could suggest was that he talk to Artrips and Knight and see if he could help them reach a resolution, and he agreed to try.
It appears that he didn't have any more success than Artrips: Unless Knight showed up after Artrips and his family left town at noon on Saturday, the repairs are still waiting (and the rain is still falling).
Pace's files bankruptcy
This summer I reported on Mary Walter's experience with Pace's Transfer ["Snail's Pace," July 10], which, on June 2, moved the contents of her Morris Road house to Northern Virginia. On the Charlottesville end of the move, she claims, Pace's gouged her woodwork in two places and nicked a new paint job in two others.
Pace's finally agreed to do the repairs, but after the column ran, the agreement was changed: Davis Management, which manages the property, would have the repairs done and submit the bill to Pace's. In the meantime, however, Pace's filed for bankruptcy. Bob Davis stated that he intends to pay the bill himself– and is just relieved that it's for only $45.

Automatic Model Generation, part 2: Pretty-Printing the Model
In the first part of this guide, I explained part of a technique for generating CSP models from a CHP program — including the introduction of the specification type. In this second part of the guide I take a slight diversion to explain how to pretty-print the specifications. We will see in this part how parallel composition is rendered, which has particular importance in CSP.
After we've created the model of our program, we need to print it out to a file, ready to be fed to the proof-checker or other tool. I wanted the model to be as comprehensible as possible after printing, so that users (and I!) can read it. To that end, I used a pretty-printing library: pretty from Hackage, which is imported as PP throughout the code in this post. (After I wrote this code, Marc Fontaine uploaded a library to Hackage produced that supports CSP notation in an AST, but it's easier for me to keep my original code rather than switch over.)
CSP has two forms of sequencing. A semi-colon sequences two processes, whereas an arrow prefixes a process (right-hand side) with an event (left-hand side). My code for printing out a sequence of processes uses the arrow wherever possible, and a semi-colon otherwise:
type ProcEvents = Map.Map String (Set.Set String) pprintCSP_Seq :: ProcEvents -> Spec' String String -> PP.Doc pprintCSP_Seq m = PP.parens . PP.sep . p where p [] = [PP.text "SKIP"] p (Sync c : xs) = [name c, PP.text "->"] ++ p xs p [x] = [pprintCSP m x] p (x:xs) = [pprintCSP m x, PP.text ";"] ++ p xs
The SKIP process does nothing, so it is used for blank lists and at the end of the list. Note that the singleton list [Sync x] will turn into x -> SKIP, whereas [Par xs] will not turn into xs ; SKIP (it will be merely xs). The ProcEvents parameter is used later on for printing out parallel composition and so must be passed around in case there are any nested parallel compositions.
External choice is handled by the first case of pprintCSP:
pprintCSP :: ProcEvents -> SpecItem' String String -> PP.Doc pprintCSP m (Alt s) = zeroOneMore m "STOP" (withOp m "[]") s
The helper functions are used to treat differently the case where the list is empty (in which case it uses the second parameter), has one item (in which case it is printed using pprintCSP_Seq), or has multiple items (in which case it is processed using the third parameter, which above joins the items with the external choice operator []):
withOp :: ProcEvents -> String -> [Spec' String String] -> PP.Doc withOp m op = PP.parens . PP.sep . intersperse (PP.text op) . map (pprintCSP_Seq m) zeroOneMore :: ProcEvents -> String -> ([Spec' String String] -> PP.Doc) -> [Spec' String String] -> PP.Doc zeroOneMore _ z _ [] = PP.text z zeroOneMore m _ _ [x] = pprintCSP_Seq m x zeroOneMore _ _ f xs = f xs
When you compose two CSP processes in parallel, you must specify the events on which they synchronise. The process (a -> SKIP) [| {|a|} |] (a -> SKIP) will perform the event "a" once, with both sides of the parallel synchronising on event "a" together — that item in the middle is an infix parallel composition operator, parameterised by the singleton set containing "a". In contrast, the process a -> SKIP [| {| |} |] a -> SKIP (which can be written more simply as: a -> SKIP ||| a -> SKIP) will perform the event "a" twice, with each side of the parallel doing it in turn — this is known as interleaving on an event.
In CHP, there is no support for interleaving; all events are synchronising. However, we cannot just put all events in the synchronising set. The process (a -> SKIP) [| {|a,b|} |] (b -> SKIP) will deadlock — each side tries to synchronise with the other on their respective events, which never happens. The solution is of course to use the intersection of the events that each side engages in:
pprintCSP m (Par xs) = zeroOneMore m "SKIP" joinPar xs where joinPar :: [Spec' String String] -> PP.Doc joinPar [a] = pprintCSP_Seq m a joinPar (a:bs) = PP.parens $ PP.sep $ [ pprintCSP_Seq m a , pprintParOp (findAllComms eventName m a `Set.intersection` unionAll (map (findAllComms eventName m) bs)) , joinPar bs ] pprintCSP _ (Call p) = name p pprintCSP _ x = error $ "pprintCSP: " ++ show x pprintParOp :: Set.Set String -> PP.Doc pprintParOp s | Set.null s = PP.text "|||" | otherwise = surround "[|{|" "|}|]" $ intersperse PP.comma $ map name (Set.toList s) where surround a b x = PP.sep $ [PP.text a] ++ x ++ [PP.text b]
The findAllComms does as its name suggests: it forms a set of all the communications performed anywhere in the process, using the supplied Map that we have been passing around to find out what communications are performed by named processes that are called. Note that as we compose parallel items together, we compose the head of the list using the intersection of all communications performed in the head, and all communications performed in the rest of the list (which will be the right-hand side of the parallel composition). So if you have three processes: [a -> b -> SKIP, b -> c -> SKIP, a -> c -> SKIP], they will get composed as:
(((a -> b -> SKIP) [|{| a , b |}|] ((b -> c -> SKIP) [|{| c |}|] (a -> c -> SKIP))))
The first process synchronises on "a" and "b" with the others, as both feature somewhere later in the list. The second and third process only synchronise together on "c"; the events "a" and "b" are not shared, and thus occur separately, but synchronised with the first process.
Parallel Composition Omission
Basing the synchronisation sets on those events that are potentially performed has a problem. If a process is given a channel-end or barrier, but never uses it at all, the event will not show up in the model for that process, and thus will not be used in the synchronisation set. Let's say you have a barrier, "b" with two processes enrolled, but one does not use it. Given those two processes, say "a ->SKIP" and "SKIP" they will be composed as "a ->SKIP ||| SKIP", which will run fine — even though the original program would have deadlocked! The solution to this is to introduce extra code for tracking how many processes are involved in an event, and add dummy processes that have the events in their synchronisation set but never use them, thus reflecting the deadlock in the model. I haven't yet implemented this just yet, though.
We have now seen how parallel composition is implemented, including determination of the synchronisation sets. In future parts of the guide, we will examine the remaining parts of CHP: channel communications, choice, and iteration, as well as how all these are put together.

|Also known as
|September 30, 1985
Tallahassee, Florida, U.S.
|Years active
|Associated acts
T-Pain is the founder of the record label imprint Nappy Boy Entertainment, established in 2005. Throughout his career as a singer, T-Pain is best known for using and popularizing the creative use of the Auto-Tune pitch correction effect, used with extreme parameter settings to create distinctive vocal sounds. From 2006 to 2010, T-Pain was featured on more than 50 chart topping singles. His most successful feature to date was on Flo Rida's debut single "Low", which has since been certified 6x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Early life
Najm was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida.[2] His stage name is short for "Tallahassee Pain", and was chosen because of the hardships he experienced while living there. Najm was brought up in a Muslim household, but he has expressed his lack of interest in the concept of religion.[3][4] At just three years old he got his first taste of the music business when a friend of the family, gospel jazz artist/producer Ben Tankard, allowed him to spend time and "twist the knobs" at his recording studio. At age ten, Najm turned his bedroom into a music studio, using a keyboard, a beat machine and a four-track recorder.[5][6]
2004–2006: Early career and Rappa Ternt Sanga
T-Pain joined the rap group Nappy Headz in 2004 and later recorded "I'm Fucked Up", a cover version of Akon's single "Locked Up". Akon eventually came across the song and immediately offered him a deal to his label, Konvict Muzik.[7][8] While T-Pain was offered other record deals, with the highest bidding being US$900,000, Akon promised the young artist fruitful and lucrative future in the industry.[9] After being discovered, T-Pain began singing instead of rapping, and subsequently recorded and released his debut album, Rappa Ternt Sanga, on December 6, 2005.[2] The album reached number thirty-three on the Billboard 200, and has since been certified Gold by the RIAA, for reaching sales of 500,000 units.
The album was preceded by the lead single, "I'm Sprung", which was released in August 2005 and reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single, "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)", featuring Mike Jones, was released in December 2005 and reached number five on the Hot 100[10] and number ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The third and final single from the album, "Studio Luv", was released in October 2006 but failed to chart.
2007–2008: Epiphany
In mid-2006, T-Pain began work on his second album, now with the Zomba Label Group as well as Konvict Muzik and Jive Records. The album, titled Epiphany, was released on June 5, 2007. The album sold 171,000 records in its first week, reaching number one on the Billboard 200.[11] The record has since sold 819,000 records in the United States.[12]
The album was preceded by the lead single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" featuring Yung Joc in February 2007. The single reached number one on both the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming his first single to top charts. The album's second single, "Bartender", featuring Akon was released in June 2007 and reached number five on the Hot 100 and number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The third and final single from the album, "Church", was released in October 2007 but failed to chart in the United States.
Speaking in May 2007 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis, of the award-winning Blues & Soul about his reason for naming his second album 'Epiphany', T-Pain stated: "One of the two dictionary meanings of epiphany is 'a sudden moment of insight or revelation'. And to me the title 'Epiphany' signifies the moment I realized that, to make the best music I can, I needed to just go in the studio and be myself, and not concentrate so hard on following other people's formulas."[13]
While promoting his second album, T-Pain made guest appearances on multiple songs by other artists. T-Pain was featured on "I'm a Flirt" (remix) by R. Kelly with T.I., "Outta My System" by Bow Wow, "Baby Don't Go" by Fabolous, "I'm So Hood" by DJ Khaled with many other rappers, "Shawty" by Plies, "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown, "Low" by Flo Rida, and "Good Life" by Kanye West.[14] In two weeks in late 2007, T-Pain was featured on four top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[15]
"Good Life" with Kanye West later won the BET Award for Best Collaboration and was nominated in several other categories.[16][17] In 2008, the single won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song.[18]
2007–2009: Thr33 Ringz
In 2007, T-Pain began work on his third album with Rocco Valdes, Akon and Lil Wayne. The album was also his first under his Nappy Boy Entertainment. T-Pain's third studio album, Thr33 Ringz, was released on November 11, 2008.[19] The album sold 168,000 records in its first week, reaching number four on the Billboard 200. A mixtape, Pr33 Ringz, was released in early 2008 before the album.
The album was preceded by three singles. Its lead single, "Can't Believe It", featuring Lil Wayne, was released in July 2008. The single reached number seven on the Hot 100 and number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album's second single, "Chopped 'N' Skrewed", featuring Ludacris, was released in September 2008. The single reached number twenty-seven on the Hot 100 and number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The third and final single from the album, "Freeze", featuring Chris Brown, was released in October 2008 and reached number thirty-eight on the Hot 100 and number thirty-nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Guest appearances on Thr33 Ringz included T.I., Lil Wayne, Ludacris, DJ Khaled, Ciara, Chris Brown and Kanye West among others.[20] Pr33 Ringz was the introduction mixtape for the album.
In 2008, T-Pain continued to appear on numerous rap singles, such as "She Got It" by 2 Pistols, "Go Girl" by Ciara, "The Boss" by Rick Ross, "Cash Flow" by Ace Hood, "Shawty Get Loose" by Lil Mama, "One More Drink" by Ludacris, and "Go Hard" by DJ Khaled with Kanye West. T-Pain and Ludacris collaborated to perform "Chopped 'N' Skrewed" and "One More Drink" on American late-night television programs Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC in November 2008 and on NBC's Saturday Night Live in the same month. T-Pain appeared again on SNL in February 2009 (on the episode hosted by Bradley Cooper with musical guest TV on the Radio) in the SNL Digital Short. T-Pain also supported the album in 2009 with his Thr33 Ringz Tour, which included sold-out shows across North America. T-Pain and rapper Lil Wayne formed the duo T-Wayne in 2008.[21] The duo released a self-titled mixtape in late 2008; it charted on the Billboard 200 in January 2009.[22] Their debut album was going to be released in 2009, but never was.[23]
2009–2012: RevolveR
He collaborated with country pop singer Taylor Swift for the CMT Music Awards, and performed "Thug Story", a parody of Swift's hit single "Love Story".[24] In an interview with MTV, T-Pain announced that he would release his fourth studio album in November 2009 and that its title was UBER.[25] He stated that although he originally wanted to release the album in the summer of 2010, his label had pushed the release forward. Regardless of these announcements, the album wasn't released in 2009. An iPhone application called "I Am T-Pain" features an auto tuner, allowing fans to record and modify their own voice to accompany an instrumental collection of T-Pain's music. It was released in September 2009.[26] In July 2009, T-Pain endorsed the 2009 T-Pain Killa Cam-Pain, a grassroots effort to help him become elected as president of Florida State University.[27]
In November 2009, T-Pain released the first single from his fourth studio album, "Take Your Shirt Off".[28] The single only managed to reach number eighty on the Hot 100, and was later dubbed a promotional single.

T-Pain was later featured on the "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" single in February 2010, which reached number two on the Hot 100. In the fall of 2009, T-Pain began work with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim to produce and star in a television animated musical special based on Freaknik.

Spring Break!
So last week Jon and I went down to St. George with friends. It was nice to be in warmer weather for a few days. It was rough coming back home, but now I am officially on Spring Break for two weeks from school. Seriously, being a teacher is the best. I love my job, and I love the frequent breaks!
I leave for New Jersey on Tuesday to go see my parents! It's going to be nice to see them. Especially little Maddie. Its going to be SO funny for them to see me full on prego. Can't wait for Maddie to ask about the baby in my belly.
Not too long until I have this baby guys. Its just around the corner which is terrifying but SO exciting. I am so ready to see what Kingston looks like and what he's like. I mean, I know he's going to be so awesome and the cutest thing ever, but I'm just ready to meet him! Lately, he's been hurting me. He kicks pretty hard and it shocks me most every time. But oh how I love him. And I also love my sweet husband. Jon is going to be such a good dad. He talks about Kingston all the time and is so excited to be a dad. I got pretty lucky with him.
I recently bought a book called "Secrets of The Baby Whisperer". I started reading it today...its definitely making me feel a little more prepared to welcome our baby. There is a lot to know/a lot to know NOT to do with a new born baby.
Anyway, I am going to go do some organizing! I promise I'll post some pics next post. New Jersey trip/prego Meghan belly. Love!

Randy Chaviano, 26, Convicted Killer: Court Reporter erased transcript wins Chaviano a new trial
Randy Chaviano, 26, convicted by a jury in July 2009 of fatally shooting Charles Acosta at his Hialeah duplex, will get a new trial, because allegedly Terlesa Cowart, a Miami-Dade court stenographer/reporter with the firm of Goldman, Naccarato Patterson Vela & Associates Inc., transferred her legal notes to her personal computer and subsequently her computer was struck with a virus that essentially wiped out all her documents, including the transcript. That is either an elaborate lie or an unfortunate chain of events.
The problem was discovered when Chaviano attempted to appeal his conviction and the Third District Court of Appeal began their process to determine whether an appeal was warranted and had difficulty finding the transcripts of the eight-day trial, and did what is considered customary procedure, requested a copy of the murder trial.
When Cowart was notified by the court reporting agency that the appellate court placed an order for the transcripts of the trial, Cowart was in trouble, knowing that she could not produce a legal record of the court proceedings. With no legal record on file as to what happened in court, the Third District Court of Appeal had no choice but throw out the conviction and grant Chaviano a new trial and another chance to be tried before a jury of his peers.
The overturning of a murder conviction creates tremendous hardship on the victims' family, the prosecutors, prosecutor's investigators, expert witnesses, police officers, other witnesses, if any, court personnel and the court reporting agency associated with Terlesa Cowart.
The family will now have to re-visit every heart gripping detail of the case and will also have to feel the pain of losing their love one all over again. To have to listen too the sordid details once is bad enough but to have to go through that grueling procedure twice is mental and emotional torture.
The news could not come at a worst time for the court reporters as the 11th Judicial Circuit is in the process of starting a pilot program, putting digital recorders in with court reporters to capture the words of judges, lawyers, defendants and witnesses.
Court reporters have resisted this move for years, fearing that they will be ultimately replaced by the digital recorders. However, the 11th Judicial Circuit has already forged ahead and wired the courtrooms at Miami-Dade's criminal courthouse. In a few months, five courtrooms in the criminal division will begin using digital recorders during the daily morning calendar session.
As a result of Cowart's negligence and lack of due care of legal documents, she is no longer affiliated with Goldman, Naccarato Patterson Vela & Associates Inc.,
With this change of events, technically, it puts Harvey Sepler, defense attorney for Chaviano on the offense and the prosecution on the defense in an attempt too replicate the previous outcome, knowing that Sepler has an advantage, and will have yet another day in court to prove Randy Chaviano innocence.

How are we supposed to take him seriously, with the shit he says?
How can he be a food writer if he talks shit on food?
How the fuck do you not like marshmallows? Or tomatoes? Or 90% of the ingredients in ALL FOODS?
I just can't take him seriously, man. It's almost like he's joking, or something. Like, he's deliberately cracking jokes.
As if... It's meant to be funny. Almost... Intentionally.

When earth's largest retailer makes a change, it affects millions, and Walmart's latest initiative could deeply discount its shoppers' personal body fat. (Don't worry, there'll still be plenty to go round.)
Next time you run into a 24-hour Supercenter for a late-night fix of chips and four-dollar Rob Schneider DVDs, you should notice some products carrying a bright-green "Great For You" label. It's all part of Walmart's recent pledge to start selling healthier food. The retail leviathan has already made some progress, building locations in areas of the country that lack full-service grocery stores and reducing the cost of healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. Now, Walmart is actively trying to guide shoppers toward better food choices.
In large part, the guidelines adhere to the U.S. government's Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, but Walmart also consulted with nonprofit organizations and nutrition experts, as well. For now, the labels be apply only to Walmart-brand foods, but other companies can use the label if their foods meet the guidelines, which demand that a food contain at least one of the following:
- Fruit or vegetable
- More than 50 percent whole grain
- Low- or non-fat dairy products
- A protein that meets the USDA's definition of "lean"
- Fats/oils, nuts/seeds and spreads no more than 15% saturated fat calorically
They also limit added sugar to 25 percent of a product's calories, total fat to 35 percent, trans fat to zero, and sodium to between 380mg and 600mg, depending on the item.
The U.S. dietary guidelines also encourage people to increase their intake of key nutrientspotassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin Dsomething the Great For You label doesn't take into account, which will invariably draw criticism. Some of this is addressed by the emphasis on vegetables and whole grains, but beans and legumeswhich provide fiber as well as proteinaren't mentioned in the list of protein sources.
But while some question whether or not you should trust Walmart's evaluations, the new guidelines invalidate 80 percent of the mega-retailer's own house-brand products. It's like when Congress agrees to lower earmark spending to only eleventy robillion dollars a year; anything is a step in the right direction.
Plus, it's good business; promoting the longevity of Walmart shoppers makes them shoppers for even longer. Just keep in mind that their labeling guidelines don't take into account calories so, as always, you'll still become a fat slob if you overeat even the healthiest food.
