Americans strongly favor military cuts (Times/CBS poll)
seoulbrother on where the budget should be trimmed:
Here's the thing: When they do make cuts in military spending, the government doesn't make fewer missiles and bombs, they either freeze or cut pay and benefits for soldiers, sailors and their families. The soldier's quality of life is unfairly held hostage by the defense budget as a whole.
A story I may have told before:
When I was in college, I helped the Design Program Director carry some things to his office one time. In the office I saw a closet overflowing with Wacom tablets, Apple displays, external hard drives, and scanners.
"Sweet!" I exclaimed, "when do we start using these?"
He shrugged. "They've been sitting there for months."
I was confused and, on some level, personally offended.
"Why? We need all this stuff in the lab."
"There's no one to install it."
"Uhhh… I'll do it!"
"No can do. Must be done by authorized service personnel, to guarantee maintenance support."
"So… Hire them!"
The Design Program Director sighed.
"There's no money for that in the budget. As it is, our faculty are spread thin, handling way more classes than they really should. Here's the thing: if I request thirty Mac Pros at the end of the year, they'll buy them. But if I ask for a part-time lab assistant working 6 hours a week at $5.75/hr, they'll make sour faces at me. See, the Mac Pro contract can go to someone's cousin, and once they have these machines, they're a great thing to brag about - "we added thirty state-of-the-art computers to the lab!" But ask for more personnel, or higher pay, or competitive benefits, and everyone sees CORPORATE WASTE, INEFFICIENCY, WASTED DOLLARS. So that's why we don't get to install all those awesome, shiny, brand-new electronics that are crowding my tiny office."~mrgan
Stop having meetings.
Go live.
That is all.
"Rep. Steve King (R) lauds Speaker Boehner's 'mendacity', says it's beyond reproach."
I agree with Rep. King. Sagacious point.
O my love Kate, you did all you could.
I'm unemployable & a nuisance.
Forget me, remarry, be happy.
It's hard keeping secrets
I've got some I'd love to share
Not mine mind you
Those are for me only
But these are good ones
They will blow your skull
Want them?

(AP) — The Washington Parish Tourism Commission will have less money to spend in 2013. Commission manager Katherine Mayor tells The Daily News (http://bit.ly/UqelkX) she submitted an annual budget proposal to the Parish Council for $40,500, about $900 less than the 2012 budget.

Gas Fireplace Repair
Settling down in the warmth and comfort of a crackling fire in your living room is something every one craves for and rightly so. Fireplaces have become an integral part of modern American housing plans owing to their importance which dates back to the Victorian era. At present, the ancient central hearth and chimney is available to us in the form of a gas fireplace which is designed to give the maximum output at minimum cost and maintenance, signaling a revolutionary change in the central heating system. You can keep this pleasant heating part of your home in top shape with some simple gas fireplace repair knowledge.
Gas Fireplace Fuel Types
The choice of fuel is the basis of the efficiency of a typical gas fireplace. Frankly, they can be installed anywhere in your house where the wiring is available. Moreover, using gas instead of traditional wooden logs increases the overall heating capability of the heating system as well provides benefits such as instant startup, no need for tending, no municipal burning restrictions either and more. While there is no indoor pollution to be worried about, there is also a constant heat supply which is safer and warmer as well as hassle-free.
Although it seems like a deal worth every dollar you are planning to spend, it is to be kept in mind that gas fireplaces come with their own bag of problems. Let us have a look at how some of the common problems concerning the gas fireplaces can be fixed at home.
Important. Please ensure that the gas supply is turned off before you start the repairing process. Additionally, it is advisable to turn it off when the fireplace is not being used in order to avert any accidents due to leakage.
Gas Fireplace Startup Issues
In case the fireplace does not switch on, it might be due to the unlit pilot light. Open the vent and check if there is a small, blue flame at the bottom of the gas fireplace unit. You can light it again using a match-stick or a lighter. To make sure you have no electrical problem, simply set the pilot light valve to the PILOT position. Press and hold it for about 30 seconds. This can be one of the simplest gas fireplace repair tasks that you can do. While the button is pressed down, push the restart button and see if there is a spark or a flame. Absence of spark might indicate electrical issues with the pilot light control unit.
Burner Problems with your Gas Fireplace
Another common problem associated with using gas fireplace units is due to the main burner functioning very sluggishly or not turning on at all. This mainly occurs due to loose wiring. So check the wiring of the burner as well as the voltage being provided. Adequate wiring and voltage can effectively solve this problem. Additionally, for a better performance, it is advised to clean the burner along with the stem.
Gas fireplace repair of a Defective Thermocouple
The thermocouple works as a feedback mechanism, keeping the room temperature under control by regulating the heat supply. A malfunctioning thermocouple can be one of the reasons leading to the sluggish burning of the main burner as mentioned above. To ensure that it works properly, the thermocouple is to be tightly fitted in the gas control valve. Moreover, check the system's wiring against the diagram provided with the unit's manual. If the problem persists, it is best to have the device replaced.
Inconsistent Heating with your fireplace
The issue of inconsistent or non-uniform heating can be solved by checking if the fireplace fan is functioning properly or not. Getting it fixed might instantly solve this issue.
Sooty glass pane
If there is soot deposited on the glass front of your gas fireplace, it might indicate a venting problem. Make sure that the fireplace logs are not misaligned and the venting tube is not blocked by soot or dirt. It is suggested that you call a professional to deal with the venting problem.
If the fireplace unit still refuses to work when all is said and done, it is time to call in the professional technicians to perform the gas fireplace repair. It is highly crucial to have your fireplace unit in the perfect condition so as to avoid any serious accidents caused by a faulty device.

Study Abroad + Study USA Brochure (PDF)
Established in 2009, the innovative Study Abroad+Study USA program is a unique experience offered to qualified La Roche students who would like to broaden their horizons and marketability in an ever expanding global workplace.
After completing 60 La Roche credits and meeting all eligibility requirements as set forth in the program guidelines, a student may apply for a travel course either internationally or domestically. This experience is offered as a value added component of a La Roche education and there are no additional costs for the trip itself. Students are responsible for incidentals, passport cost, visas, and spending money.
Each trip is a course and is offered for credit. If you participate in the travel during the regular academic year (fall through spring semesters) and your travel course is taken as part of the 18 credits allotted for the semester, there is no additional credit charge. Travel courses that are taken in Maymester or Summer Semester are charged for the credits at the established Summer tuition rate. For 2010 the rate was a discounted $475 per credit. For example, if you take a one-credit travel course to Spain in May, you would be charged $475 for the credit and there is NO additional cost for the travel component. All programs are short term (usually 1 to 3 weeks in duration) and students are eligible to participate in one travel program. Students who wish to participate in multiple trips must pay full cost for the additional trips. Non-La Roche students/guests may apply to participate; however, participation for non-La Roche students/guests will be determined by the faculty leader.
You may choose from an abroad experience in Central America, Europe or Canada or choose to remain here in the United States and explore the riches of the Navajo Nation in the southwest.
The unique intercultural experiences offered through the Study Abroad+Study USA Program greatly distinguishes La Roche from other colleges and universities and allows you to gain a cultural learning experience that lasts a lifetime—all this while pursuing your undergraduate degree at an excellent educational facility.
All travel courses are Faculty led. Courses are listed in the website by date of travel. For more information about the course you may contact the Study Abroad+Study USA Office or speak directly with the listed Faculty Leader.
Full-time transfer students who enroll at La Roche with less than 79 credits are eligible to participate in the program after they have earned 30 La Roche credits. These students are required to pay a program fee of $1,450 for 2011 if they wish to participate.

State students want to keep their campus looking nice.
As a part of the
first Criminal Justice Week, students held a campus cleanup. Called the Broken
Windows Service Project Day, students picked up trash around campus. This is an
effort to decrease code violations and to show others that there are people
looking at their campus.
justice students wanted to demonstrate that we are watching, that we do care
about our campus community," said Marlene Ramsey, Program Director for Undergraduate Criminal Justice/Criminal Justice Week Chair.
students participated in the project.
Earlier, the students participated in career day. This event involved a variety of criminal justice

Head Coach Troy Boone
The Messiah golf program has experienced a renaissance under head coach Troy Boone, who begins his fifth consecutive season at the helm — and sixth overall — in the 2010-2011 academic year.
The fifth head coach in the sport's 22-year history, Boone is coming off an incredible spring of 2010, leading the Falcons to their first ever Commonwealth Conference Championship and NCAA Championships appearance.
Messiah won a program-record seven tournaments and fired a school-record 282 in the York College Spring Invitational during its magical run, which concluded with a 329-307 at the league championships — 14 strokes better than the second-place squad. Boone earned Commonwealth Coach of the Year honors as a result, and Messiah advanced to the NCAA Championships for the first time in history.
The Falcons narrowly missed the cut after two days on the big stage, finishing tied for 27th overall as a team. Then-freshman Matt Burkhart qualified as an individual, however, sitting tied for 13th place following three rounds before slipping to 31st overall at the tournament's conclusion.
"We are getting to where we want to be as a program," Boone said. "Messiah is a very special place, and we believe we can have the same types of success as the other high-caliber sports programs. This spring was a huge step. We want to continue building from here."
Boone has certainly placed the team on the right track, boasting a 505-234-8 record over the last four years (a .681 winning percentage) — including a stellar 189-49 mark (.794) in 2009-2010. Boone's leadership has equated to higher levels of success behind recruiting and technical advancement, as Messiah golfers now benefit from digital range finders and an on-campus golf simulator. The program also began playing at the private, Blue Ridge Country Club during Boone's tenure, a championship-caliber layout that provides ample challenge and opportunity on a daily basis.
"Moving to Blue Ridge was the starting point for us," Boone said. "The club has been fabulous to work with. Our goal is to continue to recruit high-caliber players that want to be part of a faith-based institution. Faith is a foundation of our guys ... it gives us a center point to draw on, and helps us in those adverse situations on the golf course. Our team crest is based on Joshua 1:9 being 'Strong & Courageous.' We want to always keep in this in mind as we continue this journey. We operate as a small family here within athletics and we are focusing more on our mental games as well as our physical playing training. We're trying to create a unique niche, and I think we're succeeding."
Boone graduated from Liberty University in 1988 with a degree in business marketing and management, and worked in education finance for 16 years. He was appointed interim head coach during the 1998-1999 season, but his business endeavors pulled him out of coaching at the season's conclusion. When Boone changed jobs and the position re-opened in the summer of 2006, he jumped at the chance to return.
"When I took this job, I wanted this team to succeed," he said. "I wasn't going to be partially invested. To be able to have the time and resources to really provide a focus for this program ... it's been a blessing."
Boone is currently president of Seegil Partners, Inc. — a commercial real estate firm — and is married to Messiah alum Dawn (Rossman). The couple has four children, Lauren (10), Ethan (eight), Graham (four) and Gabriel, who was born in February of 2010. The family resides in Mechanicsburg.

Do you believe that our future is bright, if yes, why and if not, why not?
While looking at the trends like human health, access to knowledge, access to technology, technology growth, etc., we start believing that our future is going to be very good. On the other hand, looking at the trends like destruction of nature, speed at with we are consuming natural and environmental resources, explosion of human population, carbon in the air and climate change, etc., we think that really difficult times are ahead of us.
I am interested in knowing the sources of optimism and causes of pessimism in us.
Just to be clear, "our" means humankind :-)

Sep 24 2012: We were burning wood to smelt metals. We were coming to the end of the supply. Coal was discovered.
Europe was going through religious persecution. America was born.
It seems that just as we are on a precipice of disaster, a new challenge was just around the corner.
I read a book by Eric Learner called "The Big-Bang Never Happened". Although I don't agree with all his theories (sometimes it is not either/or, but both that turns out to be the answer). Regardless, he makes numerous claims about the cosmos that work the same as I have mentioned above. Just as the universe is coming to a halt, a new process suddenly presents itself. Before the new process begins, one could not have predicted that it would.
A few examples; the big-bang (or whatever got this universe started) was cooling down. Just as it appears that the show is over, subatomic particles begin to form into atoms of hydrogen. The hydrogen begins to gather together into huge masses of gas into early stars. Just as this process begins to wind down, the stars ignite into nuclear fusion and new elements begin to form. Just as these stars begin to die, the star's interior reheats and red giants are born. Just as these stars start to die, supernovas explode, scattering the matter throughout the cosmos into a new cosmic soup. The process just keeps going on and on.
We think that we are coming to the theory of everything. Now science is opening doors to worlds that we never knew existed with dark matter and dark energy. The bible says "former things will pass away, look for a new heaven and a new earth." This is just another way of saying the same thing. We don't know what will reveal itself in the next decade, but don't lose faith that something will.
As for us, no matter what happens in the near future, we will see our own end regardless. Take faith in what you can do while life abides. Have faith that the cosmos will come up with something after you are gone. It hasn't failed yet.
Sep 24 2012: The first thing that I see is that the truth is being forced out on all fronts. People are learning to question everything and not taking simple or erroneous answers for granted. Our awareness is becoming more keen in the process.
I believe that we will find more energy efficient ways of doing things. When energy was abundant, waste was not an issue. That mind set needs to change and I believe it will. We don't need more energy, we need to learn to do more with less.
We need to become more eco-friendly. We are at odds with mother earth. We need to listen to what mother earth is telling us. I see more and more people doing that. They are learning to take responsibility for their actions in how we affect this planet. They realize that we have a symbiotic relationship that must be protected. Population growth is a major factor. Educated people are no longer breeding out of control.
I believe that we will see more development into space exploration. The end of the Mayan calendar is not the end of the world, it is the end of our being glued to this planet. A major change is that life is no longer grounded. We came from the stars, and I believe that we are destined to return.
I expect that religion will be going through some major changes. Many of the stories are metaphors and myths that teach great lessons to those who don't see them as literal, but understand what they are trying to tell us. The lessons deal with selfishness, lusts, and egos that set people at odds with one another. Because of the controversy between religion and science, these lessons are being ignored by those who see religion as erroneous. The result is the pessimism that so many feel today. They feel disconnected from the grand scheme of things and are promoting their own agendas, often to their own demise. We need to reconnect with the grand scheme of things. Religious fanaticism will need to be dealt with. We'll find a way.

Five hour flight from Honolulu to San Francisco.
Two hour layover in San Fran. Minus the Tanner family. [Full House joke!]
Five hour flight from San Francisco to Atlanta.
One hour drive to Marietta.
One hour with the family at home.
Three and a half hour drive to Nashville.
That's a serious amount of travel. When I got home to Nash, I looked like I got hit by the ugly stick, straight across the face. I think I scared my roommate. She looked panicked. Because of my face.
My face.
Bless her heart.
I unpacked immediately [very un-Annie; totally channeling my inner-Marisa] and then sat down to see this.
A real copy of my book. My first real in-my-hands copy!
Weird. Weird. Weird.
And you can have one on Tuesday, DECEMBER 7, 2010! Woot woot!
And listen. I've under-discussed the Georgia Bulldogs this year. I just can't. It's hard for my soul. But this book sits on our table because in good years or in bad years or in completely average years, it's still great to be a Georgia Bulldog. [Especially after a 1 point win over Georgia Tech-- it feels so good.]
And don't even get me started on the chances that the Dawgs might play a bowl game here in Nashville. It makes me happy.
Also. It's an exciting day at Mocha Club- our fashionABLE scarves are 25% off. You should get one. Really.
Also. I'm love that I'm getting to write over at (in)courage today. About leftovers. Because I didn't get any. Boo. I have almost zero complaints about Hawaii, but I am sad that I had not-a-one turkey sandwich.
Sue me.
So tell me about your Thanksgiving! How was it?
Last year, for Thanksgiving, I was in New York City for the Macy's parade.
This year?
I'm headed here.
Thanksgiving 2009.
There's a lot I want to say. It was beautiful. Truly.
The downside: I didn't get to spend Thanksgiving day with my family. Though, I did spend the entire weekend with my parents so surely, on some great scoreboard in the sky, that counts for something.
I knew I should get that out there first because otherwise the email. from the mother. would be stern.
Let me tell you what was amazing about my Thanksgiving: it was full of Nashville.
You saw video footage of my first Thanksgiving. It was with our small group from church. We sat around Marisa's living room and we laughed. And talked. And I teared up [duh] when we all held hands and Andy prayed, "God, thanks for us."
The second Thanksgiving dinner I attended was Cowboys Pilgrims and Indians. Which I'm embarrassed to admit to you, but I brought sweet tea. I know. I love to cook. And I usually love to show out cook for my friends. But a long train of disastrous scheduling had this little pilgrim showing up with 2 gallons of tea instead of my grandmother's famous mashed potatoes.
I think Paula Deen just disowned me.
Here's a photo of some of the gals- you know Betsy- the Indian on the top left [we called her by her Native American name, "Lounges on Chair"] and then Molly beside her. On my left is Laura and on my right is Marisa. And on our laps? It's rude to draw attention to how much what a group of ladies ate for dinner. Look away, please.
My third Thanksgiving feast was on Saturday night at the family's home where I nanny. It's funny, I started working for them in January. I got to be friends with them over the next few months. And then, all of the sudden, they were my family.
My family. They love me well, y'all.
There were too many good things that night. So many of my dear friends were there. The night was full of conversations that I want to hang on to and a pile of other moments that I've tucked into some small box in my heart that I treasure.
So I'm not going to blog about those.
But a week later, I'm still bubbly with thanksgiving. I still lay in bed at night and thank God for my people. I'm reminded of how I felt a little over a year ago, when I was really sad and really new to Nashville:
It's to be expected. I know that. I know that at some point in the future, Nashville will refresh me. Somebody (or somebodies) here will get me. They will join the vagabond group that are my people. And I will feel like me here. Right now, I don't. I mean, hilarious stuff happens here and I'm happy, but at the core, in my knower, I'm not brave enough to be me.
The EXACT things that I worried about and prayed for God to change are the EXACT things I'm thanking Him for this year.
Tell me we don't serve a personal God who knows our hearts.
To say I'm thankful is an understatement.
– – – – – – – – – – –
Tomorrow… a full recap of my trip to NYC for the parade! [And by "full recap", I mean "Everything except the details of my food poisoning." Ewwww.]

Santa Ana Winds Blow Through the SCV [1]
The winds which gusted as high as 50 mph Monday are expected to die off today by 2 p.m....
Usually, the Santa Ana condition (or originally "Santana," the "devil wind"), occurs when the winds come from the northeast, commonly between October and March, and not necessarily when the weather is hot. Legend says the hot, dry winds are associated with homicides and earthquakes.
At 12:23 p.m., coincidentally (or perhaps not), Monday, there was a 3.6 temblor centered 6 miles west-northwest of Valencia. A 2.1 aftershock followed by a 2.0 temblor struck 2 hours later in succession.
There were no homicides reported in Santa Clarita Monday.
More on this story can be found in today's Signa [3]l.

Global Assembly creates opportunities for Interfaith Dialogue:
I had the good fortune of attending (and speaking at) the URI Global Assembly both as a member of the URI through my local Cooperative circle, The Interfaith Council at Stapleton, and also as a member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute, of which I head the local branch in Denver, Colorado.
The Global Assembly has created an amazing level of interest in Interfaith dialogue and in Sridham Mayapur in the Interfaith community around the world. Fortunately, I was able to take several hundred photos, as well as collect a lot of material from the Assembly, which have come in handy in my presentations to the local Interfaith community.
Here in Denver, I have been asked to speak about my experiences in front of several audiences, including interfaith organizations, a couple of churches and at our local temple. In my presentations, not only do I have the opportunity to expose the beauty of the Holy Dham through multimedia presentations, but I also explain the significance of Lord Chaitanya, and the profundity of Vaishnava theology. More and more invitations are coming, and it is indeed a privilege to expose Vaishnavism and the importance of Lord Chaitanya to some very religiously sophisticated audiences, many of whom are pastors, ministers, or graduates of Christian seminaries.
There has been great interest in Krishna Consciousness, and its philosophy at all venues. Many visitors I spoke to in Mayapur (and elsewhere) remarked at the outstanding hospitality of the devotees; spoke with respect about our principles; and most importantly, sensed that the devotees are much more mature and open-minded than their previous encounters (mostly in the street and in airports many years ago) made them believe. For this, all glories should be given to the Mayapur devotees, and to Srila Bhaktisvarupa Damodar swami, the pioneer in Interreligious dialogue and a founding member of URI, through his Bhaktivedanta Institute. It was his personal example of Vaishnava qualities that inspired the URI to hold the Global assembly in Mayapur.
Every delegate carries back with him fond remembrances of the Holy Dham and good will towards the movement that he will share, like I did, with others in his homeland. Indeed, for me, this Assembly was a turning point in the maturity of the Krishna Conscious movement, and in the immense goodwill that ISKCON has created for itself around the world.

i hope rick santorum is walking down the street and someone is walking the opposite way towards him and they both try to go around eachother the same direction and end up both looking like complete tools to all the cars driving by
I hope Rick Santorum orders a pizza and expects the pizza to be the best he's ever eaten, but it is a very mediocre pizza and it ruins his day.
I hope Rick Santorum gets a burrito and it's in terrible layers from top to bottom.
I hope someone hacks into Rick Santorum's Facebook account and posts "I like men".
I hope Rick Santorum tries to go into the subway expecting to refill his MetroCard with a five dollar bill but all of the machines say "No Bills Accepted" and he has to walk to where he wants to go
i hope rick santorum goes to rip out a piece of paper from a notebook and it rips right in half
i hope santorum asks someone to pick him up a bottle of irish whiskey at the liquor store, but instead they get him canadian whiskey by mistake. (this happened to me once and i never recovered.)
I hope Rick Santorum logs into Netflix and finds his queue out of order.

Pablo Picasso - Bull (1945)
About Picasso's series:
"Pablo Picasso created 'Bull' around the Christmas of 1945. 'Bull' is a suite of eleven lithographs that have become a master class in how to develop an artwork from the academic to the abstract. In this series of images, all pulled from a single stone, Picasso visually dissects the image of a bull to discover its essential presence through a progressive analysis of its form. Each plate is a successive stage in an investigation to find the absolute 'spirit' of the beast."

Desserts in Jars: A Dying Trend?
The day was bound to come. A day in which famed San Francisco pastry chef, Emily Luchetti, has deemed the 'dessert in jars' trend to be dying on the vine.
On her blog recently, Luchetti stated that "as someone who strives to make great tasting desserts on a daily basis, what bothers me is part logistics and part pleasure." In other words, if you're going to bake a pie in a glass jar, it's impossible to cook the fruit and the crust simultaneously so one will always be more done than the other. In addition to pie, folks are doing cupcakes in jars resulting in what Luchetti sees as an unnecessary amount of frosting and a dessert that's just plain difficult to eat.
Luchetti closes her post, pleading, "so please no ice cream sandwiches, napoleons, muffins, or Rice Krispies Treats in jars." We want to know what you think: do you find some desserts in jars more likeable and charming than others? Or do you agree with Luchetti and think that it's time to pull the plug on this single-serving phenomena?

I never jumped on this band wagon because it seemed like it would take so much more time to assemble, cook, and clean up after as well as more room to store the equivalent volume of dessert than compared to the original shape/form. Very cute indeed, but just not worth the trouble for me. I think the above points are also very valid (difficulty in properly cooking).
Oh, for crying out loud! I bake pies in jars all the time and have never run into the problems she describes.
A jar is no different than a cupcake tin or a ramekin. Misuse it, you'll get a bad dessert. Use it well, you'll get a good one.
What I do like about desserts in jars? I can make many and freeze some (pies and cheesecakes freeze beautifully) and I have automatic portion control.
Yeah, and who wants to have to store a bunch of jars later? Plus, with parties I never get to the dishes until the next morning which would mean difficult to wash crusted jars. And honestly, I never really thought it was THAT cute to begin with.
I think they're cute and a good way to exercise portion control. BUT it's time consuming and not something I'm dying to do to all my desserts. Nor do I want to shell out $8 for a tiny jar of dessert when I can get an unjarred version for half the price.
I'm with mhays on this one. If your cupcake in a jar has too much frosting, put less frosting on it. Problem solved. If you find that a particular recipe's cooking directions/style are not suited to being made in a jar, don't make that in a jar. There are plenty of things that are good in jars, and those things are easy to store and travel with, easy to eat, and beautiful to look at.
Much like cake pops, I found this trend to be moronic. Sure, they make for some cute pictures, but I have no wish to eat a cupcake out of a jar--needlessly messy and awkward. Pies are no better, in my opinion, since part of their charm is their appearance right out of the oven in their original form. I would not be sorry to see this trend disappear today.
I never saw the point of this. I rarely eat dessert anyway, so I have no particular desire to twee up the few treats I do make in these silly jars. I mean, if one wants to replace ramekins with jars, great. But I fail to see how it makes the dessert served any more special or original. It makes everything look like baby food, anyway.
I like them for fruit crisps and puddings/parfaits; they make it easy to serve a crowd and are great for picnics and potlucks.
THANK GOD. Not charming in the slightest. The fodder of cutesy foodbloggers and wedding receptions. Not fun in the slightest to dig through my dessert one layer at a time: if I wanted that, I'd eat a parfait - minus the heavy glassware.
I never did it myself, nor have I tried to eat any. They sure are adorable, though.
I like desserts in jars for portion control and portability. I can make a batch of banana pudding in jars, and easily pack one with my lunch. Sure, I could do the same thing with tupperware, but the jars look nicer and don't leak. Of course, I also can/pickle/preserve, so I almost always have empty canning jars on hand.
They only ever made sense for things like parfaits or crumbles, and even then the mouth of the jar would need to be quite wide. The whole cupcake in a jar thing is completely irrational to me.
They were cute but it never seemed to me like the trend would last very long. On to the next!
That's the thing about trends, they pass. Thank god.
The ONLY place I can see this method even coming close to adding something is at a wedding reception or kids party.
Serving this out of a bakery? Ridiculous.
Identifying trends is annoying. Good food is good food no matter what you serve it in.
I think they are still a great idea for stacked desserts (fruit at the bottom, something else in the mid-layer...etc.) and also for more liquid-y desserts. And I agree that it's a good way of portion control.
I see these the same a serving a portion in a cup.
I feel very indifferent towards it actually.
I really like pies in jars. There is something nice about just taking pie for one out of the freezer, baking it for a bit and then having a tiny pie to eat. I also like the idea of giving them as gifts. They store well, last forever, and glass jars are damn pretty. Perhaps it is a silly trend but I find the pies pretty, comforting, and just as tasty as a full size pie. I even like the challenge of putting the crust in the jar evenly. These are fun to make, bake, freeze and easy to clean up after. There are other desserts that are stupid in jars. Pie is not one of them.
I've been making this one jar specific dessert for the better part of five years. It is supposed to go in a jar. Puddings, custards, cremes - yes, put it in a jar! That isn't even trendy, that is just how it's done.
Cupcakes? Pies? That is the trend. And I don't understand that part.
But I also think that people who do it for themselves don't see it as a trend. I saw one recipe for a pie in a jar as an xmas gift a long while ago. It's cute and shouldn't be knocked just because it got popular. It's silly and fun. So why not?
I must've missed that boat.
I like the idea of it because it IS portable and portion controlling. However I myself have never made any, or eaten any (from the jar).
I'm glad I live in the midwest where trends really don't affect us much. I had not even heard of this as a "trend," although a farm to table dinner I was at recently served plum/nectarine cobbler in the 1/4 pint jars with homemade lemon verbena ice cream on top. Now THAT was delicious, and the jar was cute.
I agree, not all desserts were meant to be put in jars, cupcakes etc. But, for desserts like puddings, cobblers, parfaits, Eton mess, they are perfect! Portion control, AND if you have a large volume of people to serve, can look really nice on a table setting for minimal $$. As for the pies in jars, I'd rather just make tarts!
i was at a restaraunt recently that served tiramisu and panna cotta in jars - was perfect since they are somewhere between fast food and regular sit down (a pasta bar), and this was quick - you ordered and they just pulled it out of the fridge ready to go. and it looked pretty.
I think the problem is that most jars are simply not very ergonomic for eating things out of with a spoon or fork. They're just too deep. It's like trying to eat an ice cream sunday out of a really tall, really skinny glass - it's pretty, sure, but really annoying trying to get everything out!
If you do have to stick desserts in jars, might be better to stick with the very very short jars that are more bowl shaped than tall glass shaped.
If it's in a jar, it's not really a pie. Pi R round (not cylindrical).
Thank you, Megan, thank you. And thanks, Emily Luchetti, too.
I think it was a cute idea people went way too far with. Yes, its adorable in small doses but now it seems like every dessert on earth is being crammed in tubes or jars. People who (no joke) have no clue what the real purpose of a canning jar is are buying them up to shove pies in. Everything in moderation.
The most bothersome thing about all of this to me isn't whether someone loves the idea or detests it - but that some food guru has decided the trend is over.
I think the ins and outs of trendy foods have become more prevalent than changes in fashion. I wonder when Ms. Luchetti will deem the cupcake to be passe?
Strange.bird said it... isn't the whole point of a cupcake that it's a hand-held, smaller, ready-to-go portion of a CAKE? Derp, I'm going to stick it in a jar so you have to either dirty an extra utensil or get your fingers stuck trying to ear it!
Jarred desserts: good for Pinterest, bad for eating.
And lol, cremedela, very bad (but funny) pun.
identity crisis. the dessert jar is trying too hard to be a table setting. everyone loves you, dessert! just be yourself. even a cheap paper plate can't stop my eternal love for you.

Moreover, he added, there are thousands of Americans serving abroad — including more than 100 still in Libya — and Congress needs to step up and ensure the administration is doing what it can to protect them.

Mad Cows and Sick Sheep: Why the European Epidemic Shouldn't Change Your Travel Plans
March 23, 2001 -- Your dream trip to Europe is just around the corner. You've got your passport, your plane tickets -- and, now, your fears. Recent outbreaks of mad cow disease and foot-and-mouth disease are forcing farmers in the U.K. and elsewhere to slaughter thousands upon thousands of animals, and American travelers to affected countries face the specter of rigorous questioning and disinfecting upon their return.
So, should these events affect your travel plans -- and, if so, how much?
First, you should know that although people can carry foot-and-mouth disease and transmit this highly contagious disease to certain animals, humans are generally immune from the condition. Second, foot-and-mouth disease is a completely separate entity from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), otherwise known as "mad cow" disease.
"The danger from foot-and-mouth disease is its impact on agriculture, to meat and dairy industries, because the illness spreads very easily," says Richard A. Levinson, MD, associate executive director of the American Public Health Association.
"Foot-and-mouth disease, also known as hoof-and-mouth disease, affects animals with cloven or split hooves," D. L. Step, DVM, tells WebMD. "This includes cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. In addition, certain wild animals such as deer can be infected. Although single-hoofed animals such as horses are not typically susceptible, they can be carriers."
The organisms that spread foot-and-mouth diseases are picornaviruses. These viruses are typically airborne, although they can also spread through ingestion, says Step, assistant professor of food animal medicine and surgery at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla.
The disease typically causes ulcers to form in the mouth and in the tissue between the hoof and the foot. In young animals such as calves or lambs, the disease can cause inflammation of the heart. Although animals can survive the illness, they are often lame afterward and may have lost considerable weight. Dairy animals' milk production is severely reduced after surviving foot-and-mouth disease.
Because these viruses can spread over a radius of up to 40 miles, experts say that slaughtering herds in affected areas, as is currently happening in the U.K. is the most prudent way to contain the illness. Approximately 1 million livestock animals in that country have been targeted for slaughter. Cases of foot-and-mouth disease have also been reported in Argentina.
BSE, or "mad-cow disease," is thought to be transmitted by a protein fragment known as a prion. As with other spongiform encephalopathies, BSE causes the affected animal's brain to develop holes -- therefore becoming spongelike in appearance; the animal eventually dies. A human variant, human spongiform encephalopathy, causes the degenerative dementia known as new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Humans may also be susceptible to BSE, but that isn't yet clear.
Prions are resistant to conventional sterilization techniques. The infection may be spread from prions present in the affected animal's central nervous system, such as the spinal cord and brain.

Emerald Lux Review
Smoker's breath is synonymous to tobacco bad breath, death breath, and stinky breath. Whatever you call it, the main cause is the same: cigarettes. And, it all smells the same when you breathe out. If you are a smoker, you should make it a priority to keep your mouth feeling and smelling fresh all the time. When you smoke, your mouth tends to dry and when that happens, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria do not only cause mouth and gum problems but also make the smell of your breath unbearable for most people. Cigarettes, which contain nicotine and tar, stain your teeth and greatly affect your gum tissues. These harmful contents of cigarettes contribute in the formation of bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria turn the proteins in your mouth into volatile sulfur compounds and these in turn become the reason for that stinky odor.
Quitting your bad habit is actually the most effective way to end the problem of smokers' breath. Of course, this is easier said than done. Many have tried and failed to quit the bad habit. If it is difficult for you to get rid of smoking, you can try e-cigarettes or electronic cigarettes, which many consider as an effective alternative to your typical cigarettes. These battery powered sticks allow you to smoke minus the noxious substances associated with a real cigarette. Similar to a real stick, it lights up at its end when in use and lets out a small puff of smoke. The only difference is that you can still get the nicotine fix that you desire but not the other dangerous substances associated with tobacco.
One of the most popular products in the market today is Emerald Lux Electronic Cigarette. It is one of the best products for smokers who have bad breath but cannot successfully quit their smoking habit. It provides the user the fun and flavors of a real cigar while eliminating its harmful effects. Yes, you get the same feeling of euphoria just like when using a real cigarette. There is some amount of nicotine in the product but it is in the form of water vapor released through rechargeable cartridges.
Many who have used this e-cigarette are amazed and pleased with what they have discovered about this revolutionary product. Whether you are in a public place, where smoking is normally banned, or at home with the kids, you can smoke anytime without worrying of getting caught by the police or spreading pollution in the environment. This cigarette is the better alternative to traditional stick, especially to chain smokers who have greater risks to have life threatening complications. It is very effective in preventing some common health problems such as yellow or pale teeth, and bad breath and odor.
Named as the Smoker's Number 1 Choice E-Cigarette, Emerald Lux comes with an atomizer for creating vapor, cartridges (high flavor and medium flavor), and a battery with wall and USB charger. It is also a cost effective way to smoke. When you buy it from its official website, you can save up to $1000 a year, for each cartridge can last about as long as 30 to 40 regular cigarette sticks combined.
People who have bad breath often have low self esteem. However, you have to realize that most of the cases of bad breath are a result of bad habits like poor oral hygiene, failure to visit the dentist, drinking, or smoking. If you want to get rid of your stinky breath, you should start by making sure that you do something with your bad habits particularly smoking.

With the holidays approaching, I could not have asked for a better time to review the Hoover Windtunnel Air Bagless Upright. Even though we have hard floors throughout my home, we have a lot of rugs in our rooms to keep our feet warm in the cold winter. I had never tried a Hoover before, but must say I really enjoy this one!
My daughter's rug seems to get the worst damage in the house because it is a baby pink color, so dirt unfortunately clings to it. And I'll admit that I was using a "cheaper" vacuum, so I was never satisfied after vacuuming. After unpacking our new Windtunnel and loving how great it made my family room rug look, I quickly took it to my daughter's room to try it out. I have to be honest and say not only did this vacuum work wonders on the rug – but I am embarrassed how much dirt it was able to get up, even after routinely vacuuming with our other vacuum! So, what I have learned is that it definitely pays off to have a good quality vacuum in your house.
The other thing I absolutely love about this vacuum is that it is very light – just 12.4, which is the lightest Hoover full-size bagless upright available. My 7-year-old son was actually able to use it with ease (and now he can vacuum his own rug – huge plus!)
The good news is that Hoover is having a Friends and Family sale right now so you can save 30% off any Hoover product sitewide and get FREE shipping!
Just use code: FRIENDS11 at checkout for 30% off + FREE shipping.
If you are interested in the Hoover WindTunnel Air Bagless Upright, like I received, you can take the 30% off, plus, I noticed there is a $20 rebate you can use when you buy by 11/10/12 – so make sure you take advantage of that deal soon.

It isn't that one instance (dungeon) is full so you can't go into that one, it's that all instances are run on the instance server.
So if there are multiple 5-mans, 10-mans, and 25-mans going, and it hits the cap, it won't let anymore of them be created. It isn't specific to just one dungeon.

If Dr. Byrds Mr. Hyde found Roger McGuinn having to re-create the Byrds after massive personnel turnovers (and not having an easy time of it), Ballad of Easy Rider was the album where the new lineup really hit its stride. Gracefully moving back and forth between serene folk-rock (the title cut, still one of McGuinn's most beautiful melodies), sure-handed rock roll ("Jesus Is Just All Right"), heartfelt country-rock ("Oil in My Lamp" and "Tulsa County"), and even a dash of RB (the unexpectedly funky "Fido," which even features a percussion solo), Ballad of Easy Rider sounds confident and committed where Dr. Byrds Mr. Hyde often seemed tentative. The band sounds tight, self-assured, and fully in touch with the music's emotional palate, and Clarence White's guitar work is truly a pleasure to hear (if Roger McGuinn's fabled 12-string work seems to take a back seat to White's superb string bends, it is doubtful that any but the most fanatical fans would think to object). While not generally regarded as one of the group's major works, in retrospect this release stands alongside Untitled as the finest work of the Byrds' final period.

L.A. Noire is just a few weeks away from release (5/17). Yesterday, Rockstar saw fit to release yet another trailer to keep the hype alive, which if you ask us is hardly necessary, but nonetheless we'll take it.
This particular trailer shows off a bit of the game's timeline, and they're calling it "Gameplay series: Rising through the ranks". In other words you'll have to work your way up the chain of command and learn the ropes by partnering with other cops. The Black Dhalia, a gruesome murder that actually transpired in 1947 real world Los Angeles, has even been weaved into the game's story line. Enjoy.

Why is it that classical music is now ignored by the majority of society?
Sure, classical music still exists and is still evolving with new compositions. However, this perennial genre of music has been evidently on the decline with the rise of other types of music that is unfortunately promoted over classical music. I understand that with new generations come new tastes due to media and pop culture, but classical music has been preserved prominently from the Baroque period (1600s) well into the Contemporary and Late Romantic era (late 1800s- 1970s ish). I feel as though classical music should be integrated into education (it is in orchestra, choir, band etc) as a core subject as art is necessary along with athletics to foster a well balanced student. Unfortunately, this antiquated music is left behind and I am afraid that it will one day vanish as the number of composers are dwindling. What are your thoughts on this?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 17 2013: Why do you think it's ignored? I see A LOT of kids taking piano classes, playing in orchestras, etc. Symphony orchestras are alive and well. Teachers who teach classic music are not starving. My son's piano teacher has no space for new students. Here in Portland, there are festivals of classical music, there is a radio station that plays nothing but classical music. If someone performs a difficult classical piece somewhere in a public place, people stop and listen. I'd say, classical music is more popular than ever.
Jul 17 2013: Sorry, I should have clarified. When I say ignored, I mean generally. I agree with you in that classical music is definitely still alive and interesting to many- its not like there has been a genocide of classical musicians...and many institutions still exist! What I mean by "classical music is ignored" is that its influence in culture has dwindled due to various issues...and thats why I say that it is "ignored" But you are absolutely right in that it is still alive, its just that overall in society classical music has been consistently regarded as "boring" by many (depends on the piece really- since people pop in to listen if its nice...not like abstract and dissonant) and thus its been thrown aside
Jul 17 2013: There is no such thing as "generally" especially when we discuss musical tastes and preferences. I think, it has always been this way. It's like asking, "why Asian elephants live in Asia and not in other parts of the world?" If classical music were broadly popular, it would have been called "popular music" :-).
In my view, classical music is like a foundation of the building - you don't see it or appreciate it, but it's there. Without it, the building would not stand. Another analogy is system-level software - the one that handles hardware operations. Many people design and use application software. System level software is for "geeks". Very few people design it or understand how it works, but EVERYONE uses it without even realizing it. And system-level software designers are paid big bucks for their skills - very much like virtuoso classical musicians, orchestra directors, ballet dancers, and opera singers.
Classical masterpieces are frequently used as inspiration for pop music. Modern arrangements of classical pieces are often wildly popular.
I like classical music, but it's not the type of music I enjoy in the background or while driving a car. First of all, it makes a HUGE difference to listen to it live. Hearing a live symphony orchestra or piano performance has no comparison to listening to a record of any quality. Even when listening to recorded classical music, it's best to sit down and LISTEN to it. Otherwise, it does not have any effect on me and can get annoying.

Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for performance management, disclosure management, financial governance and business intelligence, today announced that it has been selected by Aggreko Plc (http://www.aggreko.com) as its software provider of choice. The Tagetik software will provide Aggreko with industry leading financial consolidation, reporting, analytics and planning functionality and mark a distinct improvement from the current solution.
"To support Aggreko's growth strategy, the requirements of the finance organisation to provide the business with right first time reporting that is insightful and fast is becoming ever more important," says Carole Cran, CFO at Aggreko.

"We are honored to have been selected by such an important organisation," adds Alice Allegrini, sales manager at Tagetik UK. "The selection process was tough but very accurate and this gave us the chance to be evaluated in depth for our unique proposition. Being recognized as the perfect fit into a Microsoft infrastructure also contributed to make Tagetik the right choice rather than the safe choice for Aggreko."
"We are very pleased to welcome Aggreko to our growing list of global customers," says Manuel Vellutini, executive vice president, chief operating officer at Tagetik. "Our product partnership with Microsoft, again, has proven to be a win-win relationship together with our robust financial intelligence and experience from the field that we have been able to strongly embed within our software solution.

The measurements you take with the GLM 100 C can be wirelessly transferred to your smart device.
For this article, my crew and I tested 11 self-leveling line lasers that can be purchased for $300 or less – an amount any tradesperson should be willing to spend for a tool that can pay for itself. Our pricing came from reputable online dealers; you may pay more or less based on when and where you...
My first encounter with construction lasers was 20-plus years ago on a commercial job site, where a subcontractor was using a rotary laser to level the track for a suspended ceiling. The tool obviously saved a lot of time, and even though it could only shoot level, I was jealous that my company...

Camp Lo is an American Hip Hop duo, formed in 1995, which hails from The Bronx, New York. The duo consists of rappers Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede, who are most notable for their flair towards blaxploitation in their style of dress and in their lyrics.
Camp Lo made their first appearance in 1996 on The Great White Hype soundtrack, with their single "Coolie High". The smooth party song was a minor hit, peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Their first major exposure came with the release of their second single, the upbeat, horn driven "Luchini AKA This Is It". The song became a crossover hit in 1997, breaking into the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart.

But why? If I create content and want to distribute it on my own system, why should I be stopped or have to distribute it to others?It's my content, it differentiates my service from others.DirecTV signs exclusive NFL deals for Sunday Pass, they don't create that content, but they have an exclusive on it.What makes that more fair to do than a cable company creating or owning their own content and keeping it exclusive?They're a private business, they should have that choice.The content is not a necessity in any way. So why should the government be involved?
Yeah! I demand that Apple releases an Android version of their Maps app or that my copy of Microsoft Office runs natively in Linux!
