Starbucks. Christmas Trees. Snow. I'll admit Redding doesn't suck at Christmas time. Thank you @stephkellyg @kathrineannboynton
You matter to God. Your pain, your romances, your struggles, your victories, they all mater to God. So why do you think that it's only your sins that matter to Him? It's as if we think of God as a vending machine that only accepts good deeds, when all He ever asked for is the human heart. Your heart.
Unka Glen (unkaglen.tumblr.com) —
"I have always loved you, " says The Lord.
Malachi 1:2 (via keepyoureyesonhim) —
A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake.
-John Piper
Consider Jesus, know Jesus, soak in the shadow of Jesus, saturate your soul with the ways of Jesus. Watch him, listen to him, stand in awe of him. Let him overwhelm you with the way he is.
John Piper (via daisiesandcoffee) —

Today it hit me that music is the painting of sound waves.
I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don't feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid's runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it's difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it's done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain ("I'm not a big one for paying compliments…"), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.

(WHAS11) -- Ford has issued yet another recall, and this time it's for nearly half a million Escapes.
Ford is recalling nearly half a million older Escapes amid concerns over a potentially deadly problem with sticking accelerator pedals.
The new recall affects 2001 to 2004 models that have 3-liter, V-6 engines with cruise control.
Ford says the issue does not spontaneously cause the vehicle to accelerate, but the accelerator can get stuck after the driver has pressed the pedal all the way, or most of the way down.
The Escapes included in this most recent recall were not made in Louisville.

Avenza Releases Geographic Imager 4.5 for Adobe Photoshop
Got news? TELL US...

Cutting-edge mapping technology used to take on violent gangs in the US could assist South Australian crime fighters in the state�s bikie war, according to a visiting international law enforcement expert.
Twenty-eight year police veteran and former criminal profiler Mike King � now a law enforcement expert with global Geographic Information System (GIS) giant Esri � has been invited to Australia to advise SA police and investigators on how the technology can be used locally to fight violent crime.
Drawing on examples in the US, where modern mapping technology has helped diminish gang crime in a number of cities, Mr King will discuss how to tackle the state�s recent spate of outlaw bikie-related crime and fraud.
�Gang activity and associated data, when properly recorded and managed through GIS technology, allows law enforcement agencies to better understand gang movement, motivation and methodology," said Mr King.
�Investigators can gain incredibly powerful insights into a situation when they map behavioural and physical factors with other data sources, such as gang boundaries or turfs, demographics and crime statistics.
�This provides police commanders with authoritative, actionable intelligence that can be used to accurately track the criminal activities and movements of gang members.
�For example, in Ogden, Utah, GIS technology was part of a police response that led to new laws making gang member associations illegal.
�After several months of increased police efforts and monitoring the situation with the technology, crime and gang related incidents were reduced substantially.
�There is no reason why the same approach would not work to address the bikie wars and gang problems here in South Australia.�
Mr King is in Adelaide this week for the Directions 2013 seminar, a GIS technology showcase hosted by Esri Australia, the market leader in Australia�s $2.1 billion spatial industry.
During an address to more than 200 of the region�s leading spatial experts, he said Australian law enforcement agencies might consider adopting some of the techniques and models used by their counterparts in the US including the use of GIS technology to construct a national criminal database.
�Too often different policing agencies have distinct jurisdictions in which they collect and manage crime-related data,� Mr King said.
�Offenders certainly aren't concerned with state boundaries however and an agency's ability to know of similar crimes in adjacent states or disciplines is limited if it can�t easily draw on intelligence and data beyond these borders.
�In the US, where we have more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies, we face similar challenges and have found that the more we share intelligence, the more successful we are in combating criminal activity.
�Relevant crime-related information can be instantly accessed via a digital map, where it can be analysed and translated into actionable intelligence by various agencies.
�This way it doesn't matter if a suspect crosses borders because police across the nation have access to the same up-to-date picture of a criminal�s activities and history, and can quickly determine how best to respond.

Cheerios! I am tickled to announce that my weight is coming down and faster than I thought. More importantly however, my waist is losing some inches. I can tell by how my jeans are feeling a bit looser and I'm on the 4 notch in on my belt -- that means I've lost a couple of inches already!
What do I attribute this to? My entry into Sparkpeople has definitely played a MAJOR role in this. Tracking your food and nutrients forces one to be more aware of what they are consuming and this inevitably has the effect of lowering calorie, sodium, fat, and cholesterol intake. That's exactly what has happened to me. My calories consumed are now running on average, 1500. My sodium intake is running about 1400 mg., and my cholesterol at around 150 mg. That's nothing but good news to me -- in about 2 days, I will go below 200 pounds for the first time in about 7 years.
Another great thing is that I am creating healthier recipes on my food blog and sharing this with my followers. Anyone wishing to check out some of my creations are welcome to visit at www.nonchefnick.blogspot.com where you'll find some very cool recipes. Many are healthy leaning and some, I will admit, are a bit naughtier but oh so delicious!
Again, thanks to everyone for encouragement. You have truly inspired me and I feel very much at home at Sparkpeople!!

LOWELL, Mass. – Fresh off a 3-0 shutout of rival Merrimack on Friday night, the UMass-Lowell River Hawks entered Saturday's game against No. 12 Maine as the new No. 1 team in the Hockey East standings and the PairWise Rankings.
Unfortunately for the hosts, this contest did not have the same success as the Black Bears salvaged the series finale by squeaking out a 2-1 win – literally at the final buzzer.
With one second left, junior Riley Wetmore had an open right half of the net to shoot at, but Maine sophomore Dan Sullivan had his catching glove out on the ice to stop the puck although he did not see the puck go on goal. The play came on a scrum in front of the net and was picked up at a later glance.
"Obviously, we came out on the short end of the stick," said UML head coach Norm Bazin. "Kudos to them; They competed very hard. I thought it was a winnable game. I thought the posts and the missed breakaway early in the game came back to haunt us. When you have chances and you don't finish, it's your own fault."
"We did hit one of our objectives and that was to keep the highest scoring line in the nation – [Spencer Abbott, Brian Flynn, and Joey Diamond] off the board. It was not a poor, poor game by us. We just did not capitalize enough on our chances."
Before falling to Providence on Friday at Schneider Arena, the Black Bears were unbeaten in seven straight. Tonight's road win was Maine's third in four games, dating back to a weekend sweep at Boston University on Jan. 27-28.
"It was a great bounce back game by us," said Maine head coach Tim Whitehead. "I thought we managed the lead very well and thought we had some glorious chances to make it 3-1…Once it's done, you like the fact that it stayed tight and we found a way to keep it out of the net."
The loss snaps a five-game winning streak for the River Hawks, which dates back to Jan. 24 – a 1-0 loss to Providence.
The Black Bears were first on the scoreboard at the 16:45 mark of the first period as junior Kyle Beattie took a pass from classmate Adam Shemansky for his fourth goal of the season.
The Arizona native and New Hampshire Junior Monarchs product took the puck into the offensive zone and beat UML sophomore goalie Doug Carr on a low, glove-side shot for his first goal since Jan. 20 against Boston College.
"He's tremendous," Whitehead commented. "He and I talked [after a tough game last night] and I thought he and his line responded real well. The poise he showed on the power play was tremendous and I was very impressed with his game tonight. He was solid."
UML controlled the majority of the play in the first period but had nothing to show for it, despite a 14-6 shots on goal edge and 21-12 mark in total chances.
UML had a good chance to knot the score early in the second period as senior David Vallorani flew into the zone with speed, but his shot was stopped quickly as Maine sophomore Dan Sullivan closed the five-hole to keep the score in the visitor's favor.
Carr still stood tall, as he has done all season long, stopping a wide-open junior Matt Mangene on a shot in the slot with 7:50 left in the period.
The River Hawks tied the score at 1-1 at 15:22 as junior Colin Wright took the puck around to the front from behind the goal, beating Sullivan low for his third goal of the season and second in third games.
Maine re-gained its one-goal lead with 1:23 left in the second period as Beattie fed Mangene with a pretty cross-ice pass for the one-time deflection past Carr on the power play. Mangene has now scored a goal in each of his last five games, dating back to a 3-2 win at Agganis Arena on Jan. 28.
The Black Bears took control of the middle period, topping the River Hawks by ten total chances and a six-shot differential on target.
Both teams had great chances in the final period, especially Lowell's flurry on Sullivan in the latter minutes. The River Hawks had a 19-18 total chances advantage in the final frame, while both teams took ten shots on net.
Both goaltenders had outstanding games and both coaches agreed. Carr fell to 18-5-0 on the season, despite making 32 saves. Sullivan improved to 16-6-3 with a 35-save effort for the Black Bears.
"I thought we did not get the amount of net traffic we needed to capitalize," Bazin said. "[Sullivan's] best save was probably the last one, when we finally had someone on him, but it was too little, too late."
"He was great," said Whitehead of his sophomore goaltender from York, Penn. "I thought he went toe-to-toe with Carr and I am real proud of him."
UML returns to the ice next weekend in a crucial home-and-home series with top-ranked Boston University, including the finale of a six-game homestand at the Tsongas Center on Friday night. The Terriers fell to UMass at Agganis Arena on Friday and will face rival BC in the Beanpot Championship on Monday at TD Garden.
Maine is back at Alfond Arena for three of the final five games, including a two-game series next Friday and Saturday against the Minutemen.

For a few minutes this evening, Facebook was redirecting users visiting dozens of websites -- including Mashable -- to cryptic error pages. The reaction online was pretty much what you'd expect, with -- as the The Next Web noted -- hashtags like "Facebookmageddon" and "Facebocalypse" common amongst Twitter users. So what happened, exactly? There was an issue with the Facebook Connect API that caused users on sites that use that API to redirect users to Facebook error page.

Twitter has started rolling out an update that allows you to see older tweets in search results. Search results on Twitter were previously limited to tweets that had been made over the past week. The update significantly increases that time period (though Twitter has not said specifically by how much), surfacing older tweets based in part by how popular those tweets have been over time.

Democrats and Republicans alike are denouncing Rep. Joe Wilson for shouting "You lie" at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress, an extraordinary breach of decorum for which the South Carolina Republican swiftly apologized.
"There'll be time enough to consider whether or not we ought to make it clear that that action is unacceptable in the House of Representatives," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said late Wednesday on WTOP radio when asked about possible punishment for Wilson. "I've talked to Republican members who share that view."
"Let's see what he does," Hoyer said before Wilson issued an apology. "Then there's time enough to consider further action."
House Republicans did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but there was widespread condemnation of the outburst from members of both parties.
Wilson's outburst came after Obama said extending health care to all Americans who seek it would not mean insuring illegal immigrants.
"You lie!" Wilson shouted from his seat on the Republican side of the chamber.
Wilson's behavior caused a political hangover for him and possibly for the Republican critics Obama had cast as shrill and more interested in killing any health care overhaul than finding a way to provide it.
Later, Wilson was contrite.
"This evening I let my emotions get the best of me," he said in a statement. "While I disagree with the president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility."
He then tried to call Obama to apologize personally, but ended up talking with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel instead, Wilson's office said.
By that time, the congressman's Web site had crashed, he had taken a beating on his Twitter page and Democrat Rob Miller had raised thousands of unexpected dollars online for a possible rematch with Wilson in next year's midterm elections, according to Lachlan McIntosh, Miller's campaign manager.
"Everybody was stunned," Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said of Wilson's eruption. "It was just something that nobody had ever witnessed before. We all felt embarrassed."
Republicans froze; several glanced in Wilson's direction.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed a fierce frown at him; first lady Michelle Obama pursed her lips and shook her head from side to side. Vice President Joe Biden looked down and shook his head too.
Obama, meanwhile, looked toward the outburst and replied, "That's not true" before going on with his speech.
Wilson appeared to consult his Blackberry for much of the rest of Obama's speech. He shook his head defiantly after several of the president's statements. When Obama finished, Wilson bolted from the chamber.
Wilson's behavior was "totally disrespectful," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who had been Obama's rival in the 2008 presidential election, said on CNN. "There is no place for it in that setting, or any other, and he should apologize for it immediately."
Associated Press writers Ben Evans in Washington and Jim Davenport in Columbia, S.C., contributed to this report.

Good for the Congressman regardless of his breach of so-called Congressional decorum
We've turned into a nation of pansies with an obsession for political correctness; ie., interfacing with our leaders in an obsequious fashion. Yeah, I know it's the office and not the man.
I'm disappointed that he apologized. Too many apologies in our times, too much "sucking up".
We see where this behavior has gotten us as a nation.
Just wait an see. If this bill is passed within a few years or less it will come out that illegals are being cared for under this plan either due to some subsequent modifying legislation or a micro interpretation by those bureaucrats managing the dispensation of HR3200. The Congressman is most likely spot-on with his outburst. Either President Obama isn't aware of the possibility of illegals being insured, or he knows full well that's been the plan all along. I simply don't trust him or our government's intentions at this point in time.
Concerning our national passivity; it must be the water…no?! : |
Carl Nemo **==
That's why it must be fortified with hops, barley, malt…
The man should be censured and expelled from the House.
It is absolutely wrong to disparage and disrespect the Presidency. Notice I did not say the President, but the institution known as the Presidency.
Boors like this do nothing to make our country better; rather, by injecting acrimony, hatred, divisiveness into the political process they make things worse. And so do the people who support and applaud such asinine behavior.
Shame on this man and shame on those who support him.
It's all a matter of semantics.
Illegals get health care? NO!
Illegals get amnesty and then get health care? YES!
He repeated that pledge in Mexico this summer.
More Inportantly: The CFR called for amnesty in July. Think it ain't gonna happen?
Regardless of whether illegals will or will not Continue to receive health care, the incivility of calling the President of the United States of America a Liar, in front of the entire world and during a speech before the Joint Congress, is absolutely and completely out of line, no matter the perceived reason by that crude Representative from the State of South Carolina. It only serves to solidify the hardened stance that the Republicans have drawn against all things Obama. Call it what you will, it is nothing less than Racist.
This 'problem' pertaining to Illegals has been an ongoing one for many years…so why was President Bush not treated to the same outrageous outbursts ? We all know the reason..he is White. It is past time for this USA to grow up and understand that White does not make it Right. This kind of superior attitude is alienating the rest of the world against us. Might does not make it Right, either !
Short memories…
Bush 43 was booed at 2005 State of Union address.
Being 'booed' during a State of the Union address i s far removed from calling the President of our Nation a 'Liar'. There is really no comparison. That being said..there is still no excuse for Rep. Wilson (R) screaming out in the middle of a Speech by our President, one which the entire world will have access to. Just think about the Worldwide repercussions if nothing else.
It is still Rude and completely uncalled for, regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with what Our President had to say in a speech to the Joint Houses of Congress. It is not just this man's rudeness that is judged, but the whole Nation, as well. This cannot be allowed to be whitewashed by anyone, be they Republican, Democrat or Independent. This is akin to Screaming " Fire " in a crowded theater when there is no fire.
"This is akin to Screaming " Fire " in a crowded theater when there is no fire."
THAT is a crime.
Almandine : I am glad that you agree that screaming 'fire' in a crowded theater is a crime. Calling the President of our Nation a LIAR during a speech to the Joint Houses of Congress for the whole world to see and hear, may not be 'illegal', but it is certainly shameful to the extreme. In fact, it even surpasses rudeness. Surely any fool can see that, regardless of their Political Affiliation. For the record, I am a registered Republican. That does not mean that I follow lockstep with the thinking of this Party, by no means.
Should we harken back to the days of our founding, to the time of Thomas Payne, to the era of forthrightness and honest debate, to the embodiment of robust personalities, you would surely be aghast.
Suggesting that our Pres… almost any Pres in all our history, for that matter… would "bend" the truth seems much more civilized, no? Trouble is, the outcome of the utterance is the same. I truly respect the office, but in all honesty, not the bending of truth. If he falls into that category, so be it… and for the record, he does.
As for the rest of the world for whom it would matter… You think they're as politically correct as our populace?
One liar calling another liar a liar seems bland, and if not before a joint session of Congress, then where would the appropriate venue for calling one another out be ? In the back rooms where they seek unseen to rip our country to shreds with their greed and avarice, or before the face of their bosses, the American public?
I proffer the cloakroom is the place they prefer so that we cannot see their forked tongues and the yellow stripes running betwixt their scaly shoulders.
This little episode was very educational because it tore down the insulting facade between the sleight of hand/mouth obstructionists and the politically correct (gag) waffling ( lets hand over our country to refugees) opportunists.
Now maybe if we can get some real righteous indignation brewing between the two camps so their true colors will finally be revealed then we can look forward to the eventual demise of the good ole boys club.

Lora Bentley spoke with Ralf Kneuper, who worked in the quality assurance group of Software AG and at the systems house of the Deutsche Bahn AG as a senior consultant for process models, quality management, and project management as well as a project manager. Kneuper also wrote a book on Capability Maturity Model Integration. An excerpt of the book can be found in the IT Business Edge Knowledge Network.
Bentley: What is CMMI?
Kneuper: The Capability Maturity Model Integration is a model to help organizations that want to improve the way they work and to get better in achieving their business goals. It consists of a collection of best practices based on experience from many organizations and is structured in a way to help organizations to improve step-by-step. Initially, it only supported development but now there are also variants that cover acquisition of major products or services (CMMI for Acquisition) and the provision of services (CMMI for Services).
One of the main strengths of CMMI compared to other quality management models is the strong emphasis it puts on making sure the processes are actually used, or "institutionalized," and not just documented for an auditor to see. This makes the introduction of CMMI-based improvement more difficult and more expensive, but this is an investment that pays off.
Bentley: How did it come to be?
Kneuper: In the mid-80s, the Department of Defense had contracted out a number of complex systems that the suppliers had promised to develop but then it turned out that they were not able to do so. As a result, the DoD initiated the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon.
One of the major tasks of the SEI was to finds ways to rate suppliers before giving them a major contract, based on their expected ability to deliver what they promise. This work led to the development of the SW-CMM and, later the current CMMI. Of course, the same criteria that help to judge whether an organization will be able to do what it promises to do are at the same time best practices that help the organization to improve its work. So today, a large number of companies use the model as a tool or checklist to help them to improve, without any pressure from their customer.
Bentley: Are there different models for different applications?
Kneuper: As I mentioned before, there are different variants of CMMI, called constellations. The original constellation is now called CMMI for Development, CMMI-DEV, which applies to organizations that develop software, hardware or complete systems. In 2006, the new CMMI for Acquisition was added that helps organizations that do not do their own development but that acquire services and products. Since many organizations both do some development and some acquisition, this topic is included in CMMI for Development as well, but of course CMMI for Acquisition is much more thorough. The latest constellation, published just a few months ago, is the CMMI for Services that applies to all organizations that provide services. Of course, most people first think of IT services, but CMMI-SVC is more general and applies to all kinds of services, such as health services or transportation services.
All three constellations have a large common core covering those topics that are relevant for all three, even though in the current version of CMMI the core is similar but not the same across the three models. I expect that that problem will be resolved with the new version 1.3 that is expected towards the end of 2010.
Bentley: How can companies best put it to use?
Kneuper: The main issue here is to remember that CMMI is about improvement, not certification. Some companies, especially if they implement CMMI because their customer tells them to do so, only look for a way to satisfy the CMMI requirement rather than using this requirement as a trigger to check how to improve the relevant working process. Admittedly, this approach will lead to additional bureaucracy and little improvement.
CMMI does not tell you how to do things, but it tells you what to do, and this is for a good reason. You have both the freedom and the responsibility to implement the CMMI practices and perform the work in a way that really helps you. So always look for a way to integrate the CMMI practices into your normal working processes rather than adding them on top.
Is CMMI fully applicable to BusinessIntelligence projects implemented using BI SW like BusinessObjects (including ETL)Reply

A midibus is a classification of single-decker minibuses which are generally larger than a traditional minibus but smaller than a full-size single decker and can be anywhere between 8 metres (26 ft 3 in) and 11 metres (36 ft 1 in) long. While used in many parts of the world, the midibus is perhaps most common in the United Kingdom, where operators have found them more economical, and to have a sufficient number of seats compared to full size single-decker buses.
Midibuses are often designed to be light weight to save on diesel fuel (e.g. smaller wheels than on larger buses), making them not as durable as heavier 'full size' buses. Some midibuses, such as the Scania OmniTown, are heavier and therefore more durable.
Recently Europe has seen the introduction of the Alexander Dennis Enviro300 and VDL SB200, both predominantly aimed at the UK market which, while being full size buses (in the fact that they are about 12 metres (39 ft 4 in) long), are related to midibuses in being light weight.
Some European operators use Van Hool A308 and A309 model midi buses in cities where the streets are too narrow for standard width buses. In addition to other cities, these buses are used in Monaco and Brugge in Belgium. The A308 and A309 buses are very narrow and are constructed using specialized axles and wheels.
In some places such as Hong Kong, some bus routes have to be served by midibuses due to the winding roads along such routes.
United States designs[edit]
The term "midibus" is not in common use in the United States, such smaller and lighter-duty buses not being employed in public transit roles there except in some very specialized instances. For example, Muni in San Francisco operates both 30-foot (9.1 m) and 40-foot (12 m) versions of the Orion VII transit bus to serve routes that include some of the steeper and curvier hills.
In charter / tour roles, there is indeed a gap between the minibus (12-28 seats) and the touring coach (47-50 seats). Several shuttle bus companies such as Goshen Coaches and Crystal have manufactured rear-engined vehicles that have 30–35 seats, but no generic term has ever been applied to them. They are usually lumped together with their smaller "minibus" brethren and called "minibus", or "shuttle bus". The only other alternative was to import a "short" (two-axle) version of European touring coaches, known often as "baby coaches", around 30 feet (9.1 m) long and equipped with some 30–32 seats.
In the early 2000s, ABC Companies did introduce a "mid-sized coach", the M1000 series, which was based on the Freightliner Trucks large truck frame. Compared to regular touring coaches, this mid-sized coach was about half the price ($150,000 as opposed to $300,000), but offers no luggage space under the cabin (any luggage space must be carved out of the main cabin) and which had a maximum of 40 seats (without any luggage). It was also front-engined, making it somewhat noisier than rear-engined vehicles.
Other manufacturers, including Goshen and Crystal, introduced similar vehicles based on other large truck frames, such as the GMC design.

IV Drop due to Moisture
This Nomograph will determine the IV Drop expected from the moisture level in the starting resin. It concentrates exclusively on the hyrdolytic degradation of PET and does not take into account other sources like :
As a rule, Hydrolytic Degradation accounts for the majority of IV loss in PET, and therefore knowing the loss due to moisture will be a fairly accurate measure of IV loss in extrusion. The standard specification for moisture content in PET prior to melt processing is 50 ppm (0.005%). Moisture content in the resin which is much higher than this level results in unacceptable IV loss in the finished product (preforms). PET resin which is dried to a level much lower than 50 ppm has diminished returns with respect to IV loss.
How to use this Nomograph
The Nomograph is interactive; simply drag the left end of the line to the starting IV of your PET resin, and set the right end of the line to your resin moisture content. Where the line crosses the middle scale represents the predicted IV of the preform.

Nissan DeltaWing
According to the car's chief designer, Ben Bowlby, the unique looking sports prototype is based on a "half everything" philosophy. This means the car's drag, weight and front tyre width - standing at just four inches wide per tyre - are all around 50 per cent of that of a normal Le Mans car.

"This postcard is exactly as described. Perfect design & layout, works perfectly for my railroad venue. It covers the basics and it includes important info (date & location)on the front. the pictures printed beautifully! Super speedy shipping. The only thing i would add (if i could go back in time..) would be a return address on the backside of the postcard, so you guests have a way to reply if they wish."
"I am very pleased with the Save The Date Cards ordered for my daughter's wedding. The quality of the paper and coloring of the photo were impressive. We enhanced the photo with the "Sunshine" feature and since the photo was in an outdoors setting it added a nice glow to the finish product. Thank you"
"These magnets are AWESOME, and so adorable!! I could not be happier!!! I custom designed 65 Save the Date Magnets on a SUNDAY, submitted for Designer Review and had the Final Approval a few hours later. ON A SUNDAY!! THAT is GREAT customer service!! They had it printed the very next day and on FedEx by Monday night. I received the package in a box in bubble wrap in cute little black boxes by Wednesday evening with expedited shipping. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!"
"I wanted to send 'save the date' postcards and I was thrilled with all the options weddingpaperdivas.com had to offer. We chose the "Tea for Two" postcard because it offered several different color choices for the roses around the photo, one of which was yellow (my fiancee and I had a lovely picture of the two of us surround by yellow roses.) There were so many font options to chose from so we were able to design one that was just our style. Our friends and family absolutely loved it!"
"Our Save the Date arrived 4-5 days prior to the estimated arrival date which was wonderful. We choose to go with a postcard and it was the perfect size for what we needed. I also really liked the prices offered on this site."

Source: Intent - The genus name of chocolate, Theobroma derives from the Greek theos, "god," and "broma," "food," thus meaning "food of the gods." The common name chocolate derives from an Aztec name for this plant, chócolatl. Cocoa was the "love tonic" of Montezuma II, who is reputed to have drunk some fifty cups daily before visiting his harem of six hundred women.
In 1502 the returning crew of Columbus brought cacao beans back to Europe, and in 1550 nuns came up with the idea of adding sugar and vanilla, leading to what we now regard as chocolate. During the 1800s, physicians recommended chocolate to boost libido, and to this day it is well known for its ability to inspire passion.
Cacao is considered aphrodisiac, antioxidant, cardiotonic, diuretic, emollient, laxative, nervous system stimulant, and nutritive. Cacao increases levels of serotonin and endorphins in the body. It gives a short-term boost in energy and, when consumed in its whole, raw from, is beneficial for the teeth, as it contains tannins that inhibit dental decay. It also contains phenylethylamine, a compound that is naturally occurring in the brain in trace amounts and is released when we are in love, peaking during orgasm. Cacao also contains theobromine, a compound that dilates the coronary artery, increasing blood flow to the heart.
Most commercial chocolates today, however, have a low cacao content and contain sugar and hydrogenated oil. It contains many constituents including Vitamin E, B complex vitamins, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, amino acids (arginine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyramine, tyrosine), phenylethylamine, anandamide, dopamine, serotonin, xanthines (caffeine, theobromine, trigonelline), flavonoids (epicatechin, catechin, procyanidins), essential oil, sucrose, glucose, mucilage, oleopalmitostearin, tannins, and natural sugars. In its natural form, chocolate is considered bitter, warm, dry, yang, governed by Mars and Uranus and corresponding to the element of Fire.
Raw cacao is one of my muses and how I get so many books written!
You can make this ice cream quicker than it takes to go out and buy it.
Almond Milk
Why settle for a product in an aseptic package that has a shelf life of three years? Choose vitality instead!* 1 cup almonds, soaked overnight
* 1 quart water
* 1 tablespoon raw honey or 2 dates, soaked 20 minutes
Rinse the nuts in a colander to remove enzyme inhibitors
Combine all ingredients in a blender and liquefy. Then strain through a sprout bag. Or a paint strainer bag (available at paint or hardware stores) Pulp can be saved to add to casseroles, cookies or other dishes.
Note: These same directions can be used for making cashew, hazelnut, pine nut, sesame, sunflower, walnut, or pumpkin seed milk.
Makes 1 quart.
Oh la la Chocolat! I Scream* 1 quart almond milk (You can buy almond milk at natural food stores, but it will be pasteurized and create more packaging)
* 1/2 cup pitted dates
* 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
* 1 banana
Place everything in the blender. Blend and chill for 1 hour. Place everything in an ice cream maker and process till frozen.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WHAS11) -- You didn't need good seats to get a view of the races thanks to Churchill Downs' new big screen.
In fact you didn't need seats at the track at all.
This is the view from across the Ohio River in New Albany.
Jessica Knable had a pretty nice view from her house in Silver Hills in New Albany!
