You can pretty much put the nail in the proverbial coffin because Victory's new Hammer 8-Ball cruiser is poised to take the next step in becoming one of the premier cruiser motorcycles in the world.
For the 2012 model, the Hammer 8-Ball returns with the ideal platform for the motorcyclist who wants a bike that he can customize to his heart's content. As always, Victory offers many custom accessories to personalize the Hammer 8-Ball. As far as aesthetics go, the Hammer 8-ball comes dressed with a sporty bodywork, highlighted by a short front fender and a high-cut rear fender that shows off the 250mm rear tire. This bike also has inverted forks and a removable black cowl that covers the passenger seat during solo riding.
The Hammer 8-Ball's powertrain system also allows you to travel far distances, thanks to the Freedom V-Twin power plant that delivers 97 horsepower and 113 ft lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The dark heart of the Hammer 8-Ball lies in this system, informing the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle. Mated to this engine is a 6-speed transmission that comes with true overdrive and neutral assist, making it easy to find neutral when stopped.
Victory is also offering a host of accessories for the Hammer 8-Ball, including windshields, backrests, saddlebags, Vegas passenger seat, grips, performance exhausts, and more.
Find out more about the Victory Hammer 8-Ball after the jump.
Whether you're finding your way across town or cruising the city's glass canyons, the Freedom V-Twin power plant delivers 113 ft lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The dark heart of the Hammer 8-Ball, it informs the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle.
The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the
Hammer 8-Ball to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.
Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin's 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.
The Hammer 8-Ball's classic look pleases every rider walking up to his machine, but that feeling is turbocharged when taking it through the twisties. The beefy inverted front fork sends more rigidity forward, providing better handling at every turn.
Put a 250 mm tire on the back of a muscle cruiser like the Hammer 8-Ball, and rider and machine will both look like they are ready for anything the road has to dish out. In this case, looks aren't deceiving. This tire will stick to the road no matter the condition, and make any rim proud to be associated with it.
Even the most independent of riders feels the need for human interaction once and a while. When that time comes yank the stylish, color-matched cowl and there's your passenger's ticket to ride. When ready to get back to that drag bike demeanor, simply reattach the cowl and return to one-up heaven.
Leave it up to the Hammer 8-Ball to take you where no bike has gone before. Blacked out pipes and black bullet headlight take you to the dark side, which leads to the kind of performance that has every other motorcycle scurrying for the light.

The Baltimore Sun
1:03 PM EDT, August 8, 2013
Military members in same-sex relationships could get up to 10 days of leave to travel to states where they can be legally wed, according to a memo obtained this week by The Associated Press.
Written by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, the proposal would also grant health, housing and other benefits to same-sex spouses of military personnel by the end of August. In February, the Pentagon moved to extend some benefits to same-sex partners who signed a declaration of their commitment, but housing was not included in the initial plans. In the wake of the Supreme Court's reversal of the Defense of Marriage Act, though, a more inclusive benefits plan based on marriage has become feasible.
Still, same-sex couples are only allowed to marry in 13 states and D.C. Allowing a special leave provision for LGBT military members to go tie the knot somewhere the marriage would be legally recognized takes a nice step toward correcting the disparity. (Then again, by not giving straight couples the same leave, the Pentagon -- which is all about equal treatment now that Don't Ask, Don't Tell is over -- would be setting itself up for some grumbling.)
Here's hoping this passes, if only for the proliferation of same-sex Marine couples strolling by the Inner Harbor hand-in-hand.
With that picturesque post-DOMA image in your head, let's march onto other news:
Done swooning over Tom Daley? What news have you been talking about this week?

OREE ORIGINOL is an artist who explores geometry, imagination, duality, and ancient spiritual symbolism in his artwork. Influenced by indigenous iconography remixed with his contemporary interpretation of the universe, Oree constructs hypnotic structures using vibrant colors and formulated shapes.
Stop The Raids STOP ICE. This is a poster I did that was included in the Migration Now portfolio. The portfolio was a collaboration btween artists from Culturestike and Justseeds. For more info visit www.migrationnow.com
Stop The Raids STOP ICE calls attention to the immigration raids conducted by ICE that devastate families and terrorize communities. After workplace raids started to receive negative media attention, ICE began to raid homes instead in order to inhumanely arrest and deport undocumented parents, students, and children.

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - One day after placing running back Ahmad Bradshaw on season-ending injured reserve, the Indianapolis Colts signed running back Daniel Herron from the practice squad of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Herron appeared in three games with the Bengals last season after being selected by the team in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, then was among the team's final cuts in August before joining the club's practice squad. The Ohio State product recorded a blocked punt and four special teams tackles while rushing four times for five yards in his limited play last year.
Indianapolis also signed linebacker Andy Studebaker on Wednesday.
Studebaker had spent his entire five-year career in Kansas City, racking up 51 tackles, five passes defensed, 2 1/2 sacks and two interceptions in 70 games, including eight starts before being released by the Chiefs back in April.

Now if you want the moisture sealed in and your hair shiny, seal it with a natural hair oil.
TIP! Oils do not moisturize the hair; they coat the layer with a protective shield, sealing in moisture.
Now if hair isn't moist, there's nothing to seal.
Water is the best hair moisturizer. Applied directly to the hair and consumed. Grandma may think that she and petrolatum know best, but in reality, greases like Blue Magic are too thick to be applied to hair.
Yes, petrolatum helps dry lips, but that's because skin is alive. It can make it work with it, whereas all visible hair is dead and can't handle its pores being clogged.
Another way to return the moisture is regular conditioner. Section hair into four sections and apply tablespoon of conditioner (give or take) throughout the hair.
Not too much!
Twist hair and cover with a shower cap, then with a towel to keep in the body heat. Let it sink in for half an hour to an hour, then style as usual. DON'T RINSE!
But my preferred method is my own moisturizer which contains one cup of conditioner, three table spoons of peanut oil, and three tablespoons of Aloe Vera gel.
TIP! Remember to seal in moisture with a light oil like peanut oil or jojoba oil right after you moisturize.
Do not, I repeat, do not!, get cheap when it comes to moisturizing your hair. The reason why most black woman have trouble growing their hair, relaxed or natural, is because it's dry.
Dry hair breaks.
You should moisturize at least once a day. It's very difficult to over-moisturize African-American hair, so don't worry about that too much!

What's God Got to Do with It?: Robert Ingersoll on Free Thought, Honest Talk and the Separation of Church and Stateby Robert Ingersoll
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Robert Ingersoll (1833—1899) is one of the great lost figures in United States history, all but forgotten at just the time America needs him most. An outspoken and unapologetic agnostic, fervent champion of the separation of church and state, and tireless advocate of the rights of women and African Americans, he drew enormous audiences in the late nineteenth century with his lectures on "freethought." His admirers included Mark Twain and Thomas A. Edison, who said Ingersoll had "all the attributes of a perfect man" and went so far as to make an early recording of Ingersoll's voice.
The publication of What's God Got to Do with It? will return Robert Ingersoll and his ideas to American political discourse. Edited and with a biographical introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Page, this new popular collection of Ingersoll's thought – distilled from the twelve-volume set of his works, his copious letters, and various newspaper interviews – promises to put Ingersoll back where he belongs, in the forefront of independent American thought.
This new popular collection of Robert Ingersoll's thought, distilled from the 12-volume set of his works, his copious letters, and newspaper interviews, promises to bring his views back to the forefront of independent American thought.
About the Author
Tim Page is the Pulitzer Prize—winning chief music critic for the Washington Post. He is the author of Dawn Powell: A Biography and editor of The Diaries of Dawn Powell (Steerforth Press, 1995) and Selected Letters of Dawn Powell.

Christmas Table Setting
Elegant Table Setting: Ready to showcase the Christmas feast, these stacks of mismatched white plates will make food colorful and appetizing. Elegantly embellished English crackers continue the tone-on-tone color scheme. Christmas tree candle clips attached to each plate add a warming holiday touch.
Spice Up Serving Platters: Simple serving dishes become dazzling displays when you outline them with holiday greenery and fruit. Bind the greenery in place with twine or wire concealed by holiday ribbon.
Dining Room Decor: An opulent dining room deserves impressive holiday decorations. Commanding fruit-filled containers crown the sideboard, adding height and color to the sophisticated space. The impact is doubled in the mirror's reflection.
Casual: You don't have to have Christmas china to create a holiday place setting. Pair versatile solid-colored plates to mirror the holiday palette established by table linens. A pewter goblet adds an air of casual elegance to this simple setting. Get the Look: Charger: Berry & Thread Scalloped Charger, $66, by Juliska. Dinner plate: Ruby Dinner Plate, $44, also by Juliska. Linens: Neoclassical Border Napkins, $34, by Kim Seybert. Flatware: Chatham Bead, $190 for 65-piece set, by Wallace from Lifetime Brands, available at Macy's. Glass: Wizard's Goblet by Match, $92, available through Bromberg's, 205/871-3276.
Evening Dinner Party by Cristina Ferrare: If you're hosting an evening holiday dinner party, opt for tall candlesticks and fresh flowers for your table. It creates style and sophistication as well as a welcoming mood for guests.
Holiday Place Settings by Cristina Ferrare: I'm always on the lookout for sales after Christmas. That's where I find fun things like this place mat, napkin ring and napkins. Here I used two different colors of napkins for a nice colorful touch!
Simple Christmas Centerpiece: Candy Canes and Carnations Holiday Centerpiece : Add high-contrast punch to white table linens with a few touches of red. Red-and-white carnations and a striped runner (easily made from a fabric remnant) draw the eye to the center of this table and establish the candy cane theme. Fill a pretty glass bowl with ornaments and greenery for extra class.

Special Napkin Displays by Cristina Ferrare: I like to find fun ways to fold napkins. This creation looks like a poinsettia! Experiment with what you have on hand and discover the unique designs you can create.
Decorate a Holiday Table
Keep it Natural: Egg-shaped fresh cranberries provide an unexpected pop of color against a craft store bird's nest. Shop the farmers' market, garden center and the great outdoors to find accessories for this rustic table setting.
Layer Upon Layer: Fluffy white snowflakes, knit "sweater" ornaments, twine-wrapped candles, fresh greens, pinecones and a stack of old books bring visual and textural interest to this centerpiece. Be careful where candles are positioned in relation to fresh greenery, and never leave candles unattended.
It's All in the Details: Embellish a simple galvanized sap bucket with humble hemp twine and an inexpensive snowflake ornament. Wrap twine several times around the top of bucket, then tie together and create a loop to thread snowflake on. Tie one more knot to secure the snowflake.
Forget the Florist: Trim evergreen branches from your yard or an obliging neighbor's tree to serve as a centerpiece. Place fresh boughs in a galvanized bucket and swag a wooden bead garland around the greens. Use leftover Christmas tree clippings to fill in the base of the tablescape.
Tag It: A bundle of fresh cinnamon sticks is wrapped and tied in hemp twine. Write guests' names with permanent marker on a shipping tag and tie to a cinnamon bundle to assign seats. Arrange guests in a way that will encourage conversation and new friendships.
The Season of Giving: A soup bowl doubles as a place card holder and carries an ornament for each guest to take home as a gift.
Mix and Match: Vintage Bakelite flatware from slightly mismatched sets looks perfect side by side. Don't be afraid to mix and match silverware, plates and glasses. It often looks more interesting than using pieces that are made to be a set.
Think Beyond the Linen Closet: Fold a vintage wool blanket and use it as a runner. It sets the color scheme and softens the warm wood of the table.
Black and White: RMS user mlwzinger opted for black and white decor instead of typical holiday colors. A splash of gold adds holiday shimmer to each place setting while the black and white theme matches the modernity of the space.
Winter Snow: RMS user AprilD26 used winter snow and ice as the inspiration for her holiday tablescape. Crystal glasses, a blue table runner and silver accents create a graceful and elegant dining experience
Minimal Decor: RMS user happyeastcoasttransplant added red ribbon to each white chair and red-berry garland above the four mirrors. Until guests arrive, glass jars full of holiday candy serve as table toppers.
Simple Settings: Designer Katrina Giles used robin's egg blue ornament balls as name card holders for each place setting. The name cards are made of black glitter yardstick and silver letter stickers and can be used from season to season.
Jingle Bells: RMS user dianneh stacked several patterned plates for individualized holiday table settings. An oversized bell holds the personalized name cards for each guest.
Silver and White: With a bold, eye-catching centerpiece, RMS user JenniH kept the table settings simple with stacked white plates on round silver platters. Small sterling silver vases hold individual Lily of the Valley flowers for each guest.
Fanciful Feast: Nothing says elegance like gold tones. RMS user Knaugher paired gold and burgundy for an exquisite table display.
Holiday Festivities: Burgundy-red and metallic silver were combined to create a festive holiday dining room. Silver-beaded candelabras and sparkling snowflakes jazz up a plain white tablecloth. Burgundy fabric and silver ribbon adorn the chairs for a simple holiday makeover.

It may be relatively small, but there are many reasons to study in Austria, including a number of universities which rank among the world's best.
In terms of area, Austria is no bigger than the US state of Maine, and in terms of population, it is home to fewer people than London or Paris – but Austria should not be judged by its size.
This is, after all, the nation which gave us Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Wittgenstein (and let's not forget: Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Von Trappe family).
Sandwiched between Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary (with which it was once unified), Switzerland, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Lichtenstein, Austria is located pretty much in the dead center of Europe, forming a bridge between east and west.
Geographically, Austria is dominated by the Alps in its southeast and center, and the River Danube – 10% of which lies within the nation's borders – on which the capital city Vienna was built.
Quality of life in Austria is generally high. In fact, in Mercer's 2012 Quality of Living Survey, Vienna was named the city with the world's best quality of life. Vienna is home to over a quarter of Austria's population, and is known as one of Europe's great cultural capitals. For fans of architecture, music and art, this is not to be missed.
Universities in Austria are highly international. More than 15% of the total tertiary enrolment in the country is made up of international students, rising up to more than 20% if only advanced research programs are considered.
In fact, according to the OECD, 1.6% of all international students worldwide study in Austria – not a bad figure at all for a nation of such diminutive proportions.
Austria's leading university, Universität Wien, sits at 160 in the 2012/13 QS World University Rankings, and is joined by Technische Universität Wien (274), Universität Innsbruck (276), Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz (373), Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (451-500), Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg (551-600) and Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (601+).
Find out more about some of Austria's top student cities...
Universities in Vienna, Austria's capital and biggest city by far, include the country's two best according to the QS World University Rankings. Combined with a diverse student population and high quality of living, this propels Vienna into the top ten of the QS Best Student Cities ranking.
Unsurprisingly given the city's rich cultural heritage, Vienna is also home to a number of prestigious academies dedicated to fine art and music. If you're inclined towards these disciplines, where better than the city of Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart, Fuchs, Klimt and Loos – amongst others?
Vienna is a famously beautiful city – almost half of which is given over to green spaces – dominated by baroque architecture, magnificent palaces and some of the world's most celebrated museums, and is also renowned for its cafes and desserts.
Twice host to the Winter Olympics, alpine city Innsbruck is a paradise for those with a passion for the piste.
Innsbruck is also known for being a student-friendly town, with a large number of pubs, bars and clubs, for those who are that way inclined. And during the day, you'll be met with a charming historical town surrounded by lush greenery and imposing mountains.
Universities in Innsbruck are led by Universität Innsbruck (which dates back to the 17th century and ranks within the world's top 300. The city also has several other higher education institutions, including medical and management schools.
Salzburg is one of Austria's most popular tourist destinations. It is a well preserved historical city, presided over by the imposing Festung Hohensalzburg, a 16th century (in its current form – construction actually started in the 11th) fortress that sits on a mountain overlooking the town, and boasts an old town that has earned World Heritage Site status.
But Salzburg is no time capsule, and in its bars, cultural institutions (modern and traditional), and winter sport there's no shortage of things to do once you're done with the tourist trail. Universities in Salzburg include the Paris Lodron Universitat Salzburg (also known as the University of Salzburg), which is ranked in the top 600 of the QS World University Rankings 2012/2013.
Austria's second largest city has a reputation for being a student town. Indeed, the many universities in Graz apparently account for one in five people who live in the city. The best-known of these is Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz.
Unsurprisingly then, Graz offers a vibrant nightlife, offsetting the famously relaxed attitude of the city during the day. It is also renowned for its food, due to its location at the heart of Styria, which means that a wide range of fresh produce is always available.
The city itself has been afforded the status of a culinary region as a result of the Krauthäuptel – a unique variety of lettuce.
Perhaps not as well known as the historical and alpine cities which tourists tend to favour, Linz is nonetheless Austria's third biggest city.
Don't think that this thoroughly modern city is devoid of the cultural draw of the country's other cities – it was, as a matter of fact, European Capital of Culture in 2009. This was largely the result of a drive to enliven a less aesthetically charming city with daring contemporary architecture, which has seen the city transformed into a gleaming, sleek 21st urban space.
However, this is not to say that Linz lacks old world charm either – there are plenty of traditional cafes and bars, and you can always catch a concert at the Brucknerhaus - named after one of the region's most famous sons, Anton Bruckner - or enjoy a day at the Lentos Art Museum. Universities in Linz are led by Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, which ranks in the world's top 600 in the QS World University Rankings 2012/2013.
See where Vienna ranks in the QS Best Student Cities >
To apply to study in Austria, you should apply directly to the university at which you wish to study.
Your secondary qualifications must be considered to be of an equivalent level to those offered in Austria, and must be sufficient to gain entry to a similar program in the country where it was earned.
You will also need to prove that you speak German to the level stipulated by the university. The vast majority of courses in Austria are taught in German, though English is widely spoken as a second language.
If you are applying to a universität der künste (university of the arts), then you will have to sit an entrance examination.
As with other countries in the EEA, tuition fees and visa requirements for Austria depend on whether or not you are a citizen on of an EEA nation.
Applicants from the EEA (and Switzerland):
• Entitled to the same free education as local students. However you will have to pay fees if you take over two semesters more than the standard amount of time to complete your course.
• Do not require a visa to enter or study in Austria.
• Must demonstrate you have enough money to pay your living expenses and have purchased medical insurance (preferential rates of EU$32 per month are available to students) to local municipal authority.
Applicants from outside the EEA:
• Must pay fees of US$485 per semester
• Must apply for the appropriate residence permit (D) from local Austrian embassy (if you are from a nation which does not require a visa to enter the country you can do this in Austria, otherwise you must apply from your country of residence).
• In order to get this, you must show a letter of acceptance, proof that you have found somewhere to live, proof that you have purchased medical insurance, a photo, your birth certificate, proof of sufficient financial means (deemed to be €438 – or US$585 – per month; you need to have enough for 12 months), proof you have somewhere to stay, and a police certificate where appropriate.
• If you have to sit an entrance exam, you will be issued a conditional letter of admission and only have to demonstrate credibly that you will have sufficient financial means and accommodation when applying for your permit. Pass your exam and you will have to provide more solid proof.
• However, if you do not need a visa to enter Austria, then you can simply sit your exam and then apply for a residence permit while there.
• Must apply to Labour Service if you want to work.

Wolf Alice #3 - White Leather
After "Leaving You" and more recently "Fluffy" I thought (wrongly) that Wolf Alice had morphed into a grunge-rock band and left their folkier roots behind them. With "Fluffy" especially the very definition of the word monster, big, pummelling beats and ballsy riffs which it left little to the imagination...
Now though we've been treated (and I do mean treated) to the single's flip-Side "White Leather", which recalls the London bands earlier material, a tender, love-lorn ballad with Ellie's soft vocals resonating beautifully over languid beats and surf guitars.
Incredible to think it's just a B-Side? Gorgeous stuff. Pre-order on 7" via Rough Trade.

Self-Care for Nurses during the Holidays
by tnbutterfly 1,281 Views | 2 Comments Admin
With Thanksgiving weekend here, we are now in the thick of the holiday season. The holiday season is a time of hope, joy, and celebration. It is also a peak time for emotional distress and disappointments. Nurses need to take care of themselves during this very busy time of year.
- 3 Published Nov 30, '13
Nurses face challenges year round, but we all know the extra stresses that the holidays bring with all the special preparations and activities. With many nurses working stressful jobs having to deal with the health challenges of others as well as their own personal stresses and hectic schedules, the added demands of the holidays can lead to emotional and physical exhaustion.
The workplace usually feels more festive this time of year with added holiday decorations, Christmas cards, parties, etc. However, nurses often feel torn between their responsibilities at work and holiday preparations at home. Many of us feel stretched almost to the limit as the demands on our energy, time, and attention increases.
We spend several weeks and months of intense preparation for Christmas day. We get caught up in the flurry of decoration, shopping, cooking, and entertainment. But, for other people, feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness stand in sharp contrast to the excitement of parties, gift-giving, and family gatherings. What are some steps we can take to control our stressors. As nurses, how can we take care of ourselves during the holiday season?
The causes of holiday stress are as varied as the people who experience it. The stresses of trying to cram shopping, social events, and family get-togethers into a schedule already full of day-to-day obligations can leave a person exhausted and overwhelmed.
But wait a minute..... Take a deep breath, and think....... What is it that all these holiday obligations have in common? The majority of them are self-imposed, and once you learn to identify what stressors are self-imposed you can begin to control the stress.
Many of these self-imposed obligations are based on expectations that we may have of what holidays are supposed to be like. Sit back, close your eyes, and be still for a few minutes. Let your thoughts return to Christmas past. Let your mind go back to the earliest Christmas you can remember. Childhood memories of holidays are some of the strongest memories we retain.
We all have Christmas memories, and these memories are the basis for all future Christmas expectations. Some of us want to recapture past holiday moments. We hope to re-create that experience we had with a special person at a memorable place. For others, past Christmases never quite had the joy, intimacy, and spirituality they desired. Their expectations of Christmas are the result of hoping to create a wonderful Christmas memory for the first time.
All of these memories are standards and expectations we bring with us to the holiday season, and if we can identify them as such, we can modify them. But how do we do that? Only the individual can make the determination if the stress is really worth it.
Everyone has the right to say no to social events of other obligations. Sometimes changes in our lives (loss of a family member through death or divorce, changes in health, marriage, addition to the family, etc.) may necessitate establishing some new Christmas traditions.
Traditions offer us comfort, and that is part of the anticipation that we all have for the holidays. Knowing that you are going into a holiday with none of your traditions can be very uncomfortable, and you sometimes have to establish new ones that you can look forward to.
Being realistic about expectations of ourselves and others is important and challenging. This allows us to enjoy the holiday season rather than simple endure it. realistic expectations allow for human limitations. No one can go non-stop on a daily basis from November 24 to December 25 or January 1 without having some sort of emotional or physical breakdown. Allow time for holiday activities, but also allow time for self and recuperation.
Use a calendar. Begin planning a few months before Christmas. Brainstorm about what you would like to do during the holidays. Prioritize these ideas before placing them on the calendar. For those of you who will be spending time with family, get input from family members as to what is important to them. You might be surprised by their answers. You might find that you can actually cross off some of the things you were planning to do for them.
Check for overload by scanning the calendar for back-to-back events. When overload or overlap is identified, adjust your calendar accordingly. Remember, you cannot be two places at the same time. Equally important......you do not have to do and be everywhere.
REST..... The holiday season can be very tiring. Your body cant tell the difference between good and bad stress. All it knows is that energy was spent. Take a bold red marker and write REST on specific days and evenings in December. This will ensure a more restful and enjoyable holiday season.
Remember that you are one person and you cannot do it all. Ask for help from others. Delegate responsibilities as much as possible.
Most importantly, focus on the real reason for the season. Giving of yourself is more valuable than anything you can by. Time spent with others making wonderful memories will be something cherished for years to come. Focus on the spiritual aspects of the holidays versus the commercial ones. What do you want the holidays to mean?
For me, it is very important to remember to focus on the gift of Jesus Christ and share that wonderful gift with others. There will never be a perfect celebration......but there will always be the perfect gift of love that was given to all of us.
My wish is that each of you has a wonderful Christmas. And remember to take care of yourself as you create some wonderful holiday memories.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death by Jean-Dominique Bauby, Jeremy Leggatt
Submitted by Vita on
This extraordinary novel was written by Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a stroke leaving him with only movement in his left eye. His writing is poetic and quite wonderful, laced with humor and wit. His imagination was compared to the flight of a butterfly, at the same time feeling his body was a Diving Bell.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.

These Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries only take about 15 minutes to make and I bet 15 seconds to eat. Oh and I cheated.
Instead of making my own caramel, I got a little help from a yellow bag and a microwave.
Oh how I love modern convenience, especially when it comes to candy coated strawberries!
If you want to be real fancy, I suppose you could make your own salted caramel. But me? I'm just fine with these little nuggets. Melt them in the microwave with some sea salt.
One of the tricks to this recipe is to soak the strawberries briefly in ice water to perk up the green stem and improves the succulent texture of the strawberries.
Melt the caramel in the microwave, swirl the strawberry to coat, then into your choice of chopped nuts (quick, someone make them with pistachios!!).
I love messy caramel.
If you're a video type of person, my good friend Eric of Gardenfork.tv made a quick video of the Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries (with cameos from his beautiful dogs!)
This recipe came from a brand-new cookbook called Southern Living Farmer Market Cookbook, and I've try for the recipe so far, all a big hit. Lots of photos and recipes featuring the goods you'd find at your local farmers market. 1. Soak strawberries in a ice bath for 5 minutes to restore their perky leaves
Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries Recipe
20 caramels
1 1/2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup coarsely chopped mixed nuts (peanuts and almond slivers)
Wax paper
2. Pat strawberries completely dry with paper towels
3. Microwave caramels, whipping cream, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM(50% power) 2 minutes or until smooth, stirring at 1-minute intervals.
4. Dip each strawberry halfway into caramel mixture. Roll in nuts, and place on lightly greased wax paper. Let stand 15 minutes. Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 8 hours.

I can't think of anything to say but YUM! And can you please just hop on over to Tokyo with a box full of those beautiful treats? K, thanks, see you soon!
Cute, like caramel apples with strawberries, instead. Very clever!
Oh my. I thought I'm already satisfied with chocolate dipped strawberries but being a big fan of caramel, this is definitely worth a try. We might have those Kraft caramel but not too sure. If not, there' no reason why I shouldn't make my own caramel. Tempting!!
Yum! And what an inventive departure from the typical chocolate covered berries. I want some of these and I want them now!
Like a ray on sunshine… fresh & gorgeous!
OMG…What a fantastic idea! As usual, your photos are gorgeous, Jaden!
Can't wait for strawberry season to try this.
I suppose having them with a caramel cake would be too much?
Nah. Never too much caramel.
Soo cute! Juicy, creamy and nutty.. a perfect combo!!
Oooooh… how fun! My daughter is a dipped berry addict so… it'll be fun to try them in caramel with her. Thanks!
What a perfect twist on the beloved chocolate-covered strawberry!
Oooh, I like!
Looks Delicious!
what a splendid combination! a wonderful idea!
A. your photography is stunning
B. so smart soaking them in water!!!
C. these look delicious…and easy! Thanks!
Your photo is absolutely gorgeous!
I would like a plate of these send to my desk….immediately!
As a big fan of salted caramel, I can't believe I never thought of marrying it with strawberries! What a wonderful treat!
Ha! MY BFF was making my salted caramel frosting and he called me to say "You say make a caramel, but I don't see any caramels in the ingredients."
I'm on a huge salted caramel kick lately — I love the idea on strawberries!
I wonder how these would taste with Salted Carmen Ice Cream? Would it be a Salted Carmel overload? Can there be such a thing?
Wow…strawberries instead of apples! I am totally sold! What a neat combination and best of all…smaller bites!
Oh, gosh, beautiful and yummy desert. It'd be the superstar in any social gatherings. I'll make some to surprise my friends in the coming party. Love the idea of modern convenience, esp. when we have to handle heaps of tasks at a time. Thanks for this brilliant recipe!
Such a great idea. Give me something to do with strawberries this summer. I find them hard to be creative with. You can't really cook with them much because they don't hold up. But a new, fresh idea like this is great.
And lovely pix.
15 minutes? I want them now!!
Gorgeous! Nice tip about the ice bath too.
My daughter and niece just made these and have eaten most of them already.
Yum! How fun!
This looks dangerously easy! Yummy!
Those look so good its not right. I'm going to have to try and make them this weekend! Costco has some awesome looking strawberries, I may have to go back.
Oh so delicious!
Great idea I love the way the strawberries looked with the caramel
Wow! These are beautiful and I am sure they are as equally delicious. So simple to do also. Thanks Jaden.
Wow. Those look delicious. Too bad I didn't see those a few days ago…before I discovered I am allergic to strawberries. Maybe I will make salted caramel apples, not the same but better than nothing.
Salted caramel has been a favorite of mine for a long time, but I always think of it with chocolate. This twist with strawberries is a delicious combination!
Pure genius Jaden, I love how you utilize everything around you to make simple, sophisticated dishes, like this lovely dessert.
Great post!
P.S. If I do ever decide to start selling mini cupcakes. I'll trade you a dozen of your choice of cupcakes for some of these salted caramel covered strawberries. Deal?
Yummy!!! Love strawberries and caramel is the best isn't it??
wow, look at that, I'm already drooling, great color, looks delicious!!
Oh how I wish I could eat peanuts again.. I might try this with chocolate!
Oh. My. Goodness! Can't wait for strawberries to be in season over here so I can give this recipe a try!
Dang… those look good. Never would have thought of it. Thanks!
Pingback: Giveaway! "Coffee A Day for a Week"/courtesy of Coffee City USA …
These look awesome! I'm putting these on the must try list! Thanks for the great idea. Stopping by to visit from the FBF. Have a great weekend
Those look amazing Jaden!! And it's almost health food with the fruit, right?!
oh wow Jaden, these look amazing. I would never know when to stop eating them!
Great idea. This will be something to make for Easter.
These look beautiful and messy and gooey and fun. Definitely my kind of sweet snack! Love your photos, as always.
I'm going to make these for Easter. I was asked to make a Mexican Chocolate Cake and these would be beautiful lining the cake!
Hahaha, you made them sound so sophisticated, yet delectable at the same time. 15 seconds to down one? Nah … I doubt that.
This sounds great! I've had chocolate covered strawberries, but not caramel covered!

Woman in Blue
Pam Postema broke new ground for women umpires
By Jim Gates
March 21, 2012
Following in the footsteps of Bernice Gera and Christine Wren, Pam Postema became the third woman to serve as an umpire in professional baseball when she appeared in the rookie Gulf Coast League in 1977.
Then a recent graduate of the Al Somers Umpire School, Postema's goal was simple, "I wanted to become a major league umpire."
Postema would spend the next 13 years in the minor leagues, living on low pay, small per diems, fast food and the tough road that comes with working one's way to the big show. Beyond the usual indignities under which all umpires suffer, she also had to deal with a host of issues the men did not see.
From such simple things as the poor stadium facilities for a bi-gender umpire crew, to the expected harangues from those who thought it would be fun to target the female umpire, to those who were outright hostile to her presence on the ball field, she labored for many years before being called up to the Triple-A level in 1987, just rung below Major League Baseball. Along the way she did learn the most important lesson for baseball's on-field arbiter, "Every day is a new day. You can't hold any animosity. I just umpire."
"I'll be definitely disappointed if I don't make it, but even if I don't make it eventually, I'll be satisfied that I've done my best," she said.
Postema continued working games, knowing that any opening in the big leagues might result in a call to move up. There was some hope with comments from people like Astros manager Hal Lanier, ""I had heard several good things about her from people who had seen her in the minor leagues, and I was impressed."
In 1988, she had the chance to display her talents in front of a big league audience, when she worked the annual Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown, New York. She impressed many, with Braves manager Chuck Tanner saying, "I think she did an excellent job. She is a quality umpire."
One Yankees official went into more detail, "I don't think she missed a pitch, honestly. She was better than some of the men we have. I don't know how she is on the bases, or how she'd handle arguments, but she handles the strike zone pretty well." However, the next rung on the ladder was never offered, and her contract was canceled in 1989, effectively ending her career as a professional umpire.
Although Pam Postema never made it to the major leagues, she has said, "There will be female umpires and players – someday. It just takes time."

This Day in Baseball History
On September 18, 2006, the Dodgers stage an amazing comeback to defeat the Padres, relying on the long ball. Down by four in the bottom of the ninth, Jeff Kent led off with a homer. He was followed by J.D. Drew, who also homered. The Padres brought in closer Trevor Hoffman, who was greeted on his first pitch by a home run off the bat of Russell Martin to close the gap to 9-8. Amazingly, Marlon Anderson clubbed Hoffman's next pitch into the seats for the Dodgers fourth straight home run, tying the game. The Padres scored in the top of the tenth, but the Dodgers, who entered the game with the fewest home runs in the league, struck again with an unlikely weapon. After a walk, Nomar Garciaparra hit a walk-off, two-run homer to win the game, 11-9. With the win, the Dodgers stay one-half game back of the Padres in the NL West. It's just the fourth time in major league history that a teamhit four consecutive home runs.

Runner Asks Governor For Mojave Spaceport Funding [1]
Sharon Runner expresses her strong support for $11 million project
Sacramento - Last week, Assemblywoman Sharon Runner (R-Lancaster) delivered a letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger requesting his support in funding the Mojave Spaceport Terminal at the East Kern Airport District (Mojave Airport). The terminal project will provide advanced research and development of space flight technologies along with a commercial passenger terminal and educational facility. "California led the aerospace industry through the 1980's and into the 1990's," said Runner. "In order to capitalize on our citizens' ingenuity and hard work, our state must invest in its future."
Runner's letter asks the Governor to support the policy incorporated in Senate Bill 1671 during budget negotiations. SB 1671 will make available an $11 million loan toward what is currently the world's only inland spaceport, located at Mojave Airport. In 2004, a small firm operating out of the Mojave Airport successfully launched, and safely returned to Earth, the first privately funded spacecraft, thus winning the $10 million "X-Prize." Other states are now actively working to build their own spaceports to seize upon commercial space flight and technology. The emerging industry promises tremendous growth. Virgin Atlantic has already collected over $13 million in deposits for future space flights. Mojave Spaceport has requested to have its license modified to increase suborbital flights from its current 6 per year up to 60 annually in 2007 and 500 flights a year by 2009. "The loan under SB 1671 is a minimal upfront investment, which will reap sizeable returns in the future," said Runner. "Aerospace belongs in California and we need to fight to keep it here."
Assemblywoman Runner's letter arrived the week before the scheduled release of Governor Schwarzenegger's May Budget Revise on Friday May 12th, a key juncture in the state budgetary cycle. SB 1671 was heard yesterday in the Senate Appropriations Committee and put on their suspense file.

Technological Progress, Job Creation and Job Destruction
AbstractNew technology embodied in capital equipment can be adopted either through destruction of existing jobs and the creation of new ones or by renovation, updating the job's equipment. Under the assumption that the destruction of jobs generates worker layoffs, we show that higher productivity growth induces lower unemployment when renovation costs are low but that the response of employment to growth switches from positive to negative as the cost of updating existing technology rises above a unique critical level. The effects of idiosyncratic productivity differences and cross sector mobility on the aggregate relationship between growth and unemployment are also studied. (Copyright: Elsevier)

Hands-on with the new Panasonics by Pho Review in Miami
Panasonic announced a wave of new digital cameras a few days ago, and now there's a first-hand hands-on report with some of these cameras at Photography Review, during a Lumix event in beautiful Miami. They have posted a five-page report, and it includes the FT1 (TS1) playing with ...mermaids and snakes (!), along with the TZ7 (aka ZS3), an early look at the AVCHD Lite video mode and more!
Remind me to rant again about Panasonic's globally-confusing naming scheme! We will not play Panasonic's games. The names we will use for these new cameras are the organic names - TZ7, TZ6 and FT1. Goodbye ZS3, ZS1 and TS1 names!
PS: I hope foodies don't object to our use of the word "Pho" as a shortcut for Photography :)

Climbed into the niche but the crack was wet and muddy so lowered off. Need to come back for this though. The moves into the niche were outrageous! The crack looks great. Might be slow to dry?gforce - Lead dnf - 21/Jun/08 with Kev

(The production is dark on Wednesdays.)
"I'm happy to report that all of our cast, crew and production staff are safe, sound and accounted for," said producer Barry Weissler in a statement. "We'll all be back to work this Thursday night, sharing the razzle dazzle of Chicago with audiences once again! And to quote the illustrious Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly -- that's good, isn't it?"

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post questions here but this is specific to resto shaman, so anyway... I haven't played my shaman in almost a year, so he's still sitting at level 80. I guess what I'm looking for is a guide or overview or something of what healing dungeons in that 80-85 range is, or something that doesn't expect me to have a bunch of raid gear (since I don't have any). I'm also trying to figure out if I want to solo as enhancement, or if I should focus on resto to get into the swing of things.
Any help out there?
Thanks in advance.

Shoes from a Vending Machine!
Whether you're out on the town on that rare girls night out, or strolling the mall with your kids, every woman sometimes gets totally uncomfortable wearing a certain pair of shoes. Now, rather than pulling out a bouncy ball from a vending machine, you can pull out a new pair of shoes! And they're comfy too.
Two British companies are capitalizing on shoe anguish by installing shoe vending machines filled with cheap and cute flats. "Rollasoles" sell for about $10 and come in Hi Ho Silver, Gold Digger, Back to Black and Pink.
And get this -- the shoes come with matching tote bags, so you can lug your old, painful shoes back home in style.
Other vending machines we'd love to see? Lipgloss, diapers, undies and new husbands...:)
I think that's awsome. I would totally do that as long as its cheap haha
If you like those shoes, you may like this a lot better.
