Gray hair. It's one of those signs of getting older, yet many of us get grays at a very young age. Anne Kreamer had her first battle with grey at age 27...and for 24 years, she dyed her hair -- spending an estimated $65,000 on hair maintenance during that time. Wow!
One day, Kreamer decided to stop covering up the gray and she embarked on a social experiment to see people's perceptions of a woman who embraced her salt and pepper shade.
In her book, Going Gray: How to Embrace Your Authentic Self with Grace and Style, Kreamer explores how her hair was truly an extension of herself. She did the following:
She learned that gray hair wasn't necessarily a setback. And like she says in one chapter...maybe gray is the new black?
It's a really great read, kind of like Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman with a mission to change perceptions of beauty.
What are your thoughts about going gray?
i embraced my silver when it out numbered my blonde. I haven't colored my hair in over a year and i am a hair dresser. In high school the halo effect was in style so my front was frosted heavily and the back natural blonde now the front is naturaly white and i love it. It is a family trait on my grampa's saide. my gramma was 84 and had chocolate brown hair the day she passed. i know it was real cuase iw as her hair dresses and i know for sure
Im only 25 but when i do get greys i wont hide them. ive always loved seeing grey hair & think it is beautiful!! I keep telling my mom she should try to go natural but she refuses.
I am 35, my hair is 50-90 gray depending on which area of my head you're looking at! Honestly I just feel I am too young too embrace my gray, lol. And I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd child, I don't think he needs people thinking I'm his grandma, which is exactly what happened to my mom when she embraced her gray at 41, my sister was 2 at the time and everyone thought my mom was her grandma!
I tried to embrace my grey (almost 50% at age 35). I didn't colour for 1.5 years even though I was having babies. But I had a hard time managing the wirey grey hairs. I always looked unkempt and tired. I spent a lot of time trying new styles that would make me look decent. Then one day I coloured again. Now I spend less time on my hair, I wash and go. I feel more like myself. I just chose a colour closest to my natural. I envy women who look good in their silver.
My hair started to turn grey over night about 6 months after i started working at the Humane Society. The Doctor said it was stress related.First it was skunk stripes which was OK my husband thought they were sexy but then I had more so I started Dying it. About 2 years ago i had a difficult surgery & my hair started to fall out & DR said no more dye, so I quit. I'm in that transition period now from the top to my shoulders is greying & the bottom half to my butt is still red!
I have had grey hair since I was 13 n I mean white hair not grey.My mom let me start dying it at 15-16 n been doing it ever since.First of all I am like 90% white now after a few surgerys my hair was thinning more than what it was .so my hair dresser started coloring my hair lighter n lighter till it could handle hi lites n it looks so better.It is healthier n beutifu.It took a little over a yr but wy worth it girls.So gratuful found a hair dresser that new what she was doing :) Irishbtch622
I started graying at 12yrs. old and kept it grey for many , many years. Then died it black, but the dying every 3 wks, got to me. I cut it short and died it blond so I would only have to dye it every 5 or 6 months. OOYY, What I did For Beauty
I've had Grey - not the nice silver color - since I was about 16 or so. It was a gradual progression until I had my daughter 7 years ago, and then I was completely grey at 36. I was fine with it, until I had an older gentleman - that I know - comment on how nice it was to see such a young grandmother with her new grandchild, and where was the childs mother. After that, once I was no longer breatsfeeding, I tried coloring my hair. My husband's comment was that I looked so much younger. I don't know how long I will color my hair, but I get lots of compliments on my hair color. People assume that it's my natural color, because it is close enough to my daughters hair color. The funniest part is that my 7 yr old daughters hair looks like it has been highlighted - but it's all natural! LOL!!!
I am only 30 and have a ton of gray hair. I am to vain to let my gray grow.
I love my silver hair - my gramma had beautiful white hair and I'm hoping I get to go there!

Homemade Strawberry Jam
Turn those end-of-season strawberries into delicious homemade jarred jam. Other than freezing them, it's the best way to enjoy berries year round.
While many of your have just started picking strawberries at your local U-pick farm, in east Tennessee strawberry season is ending and we are beginning blueberry and raspberry picking season. Which means it's the perfect time to make jam out of those end of season strawberries. While jam making is not something I normally dive in to, my dad has made jam and jelly for as long as I can remember and therefore has all the tools to do so. We actually made this jam at the same time as the strawberry syrup.

Homemade Strawberry Syrup
Homemade strawberry syrup only requires two ingredients: strawberries and sugar. Whip up a batch for breakfast this weekend.
Not only is my dad the king of pancakes (amongst other things), but he also makes his own syrup. Growing up in upstate NY we had the luxury of having a small patch of woods behind our house with sugar maples, which my dad would tap in the winter to collect some of their sap which would be boiled down into maple syrup. Sadly I did not appreciate it as a kid and only wanted Mrs. Butterworth's. Since my parents moved to TN he cannot make his own maple syrup anymore but still continues to make homemade strawberry syrup which has always been my favorite anyway. I love serving it over waffles, pancakes, or French toast topped with even more strawberries. We made a huge batch from one of our strawberry picking excursions, multiplying the recipe below in order to make 5 quarts. This is one of the reasons why they own a chest freezer.

Meyer Lemon Chess Pie & Zulka Pure Cane Sugar Giveaway
Earlier this year I was introduced to Zulka Pure Cane Sugar, an all-natural and unrefined granulated sugar, and was very pleased with it after testing it out in several recipes. Today, I'm writing to let you know about Zulka's Holiday Bake-Off contest! To celebrate the holiday season, Zulka is hosting a Holiday Bake-Off Facebook contest for a chance to win $500 to Sur La Table! Entering is easy:
- Create a recipe using Zulka Pure Cane Sugar
- Upload the recipe with an image of your creation to Zulka's "Bake-Off" Facebook tab by December 22 for a chance to win a $500 gift card to Sur La Table!
I know I am not giving you much warning with the deadline only being a couple of days away, but if you needed an excuse to bake any more festive treats for the holidays now is the time! To sweeten the deal, I am also giving away a bag of Zulka to one reader! Just use the Rafflecopter widget at the bottom of this post (giveaway ends Sunday night).
But before you rush off to enter the contest and giveaway, you really should stick around for this recipe I made. It's a chess pie recipe from the days when my parents lived in Texas. My mom included this recipe in the recipe box she gave me when I left for college many years ago but I did not make it until now. In her directions she said to use lemon juice, coconut, or crushed pineapple. With Meyer lemons in season right now, there was an obvious winner.
Being that this was the first ever chess pie that I have made, I was a bit nervous to share it with people who had grown up in the South and ate this pie on the regular. To my satisfaction it passed the test. I was told that they had had regular, buttermilk, and chocolate chess pies but never lemon – and they liked it! Sounded like a good candidate for me to enter into Zulka's Holiday Bake-Off ;-).

Pumpkin Baklava Bars
After making peanut butter baklava bars I immediately knew I wanted to try it out with pumpkin for the holidays. As much as I loved the peanut butter version, how could it not be just as good if not better with pumpkin? With the cinnamon, honey, and nuts floating around in there it was meant to be.
The result is what I imagine would happen if pumpkin pie and baklava got together and made babies. With a sugar cookie base, pumpkin-walnut filling, crispy fillo topping and completely coated in honey, it's two deserts in one. As a bonus it's easy to make and therefore should definitely make it for your upcoming festive gatherings.
As far as the job search is going, I have applied to many, but no hooks just yet. I just have to keep applying for those which interest me and I am qualified for and hope for the best. I probably should track down contact numbers to HR or whoever I can find to inquire about my applications. Unfortunately several to which I have applied explicitly say that calls are not welcome. Ugh… Thankfully I have a couple little projects to fiddle with in the lab to keep me busy in the meantime and will be resubmitting my paper now that I have finished addressing reviewers comments. Having that paper in press will definitely improve my CV!

Peanut Butter Baklava Bars
A few years ago, my friend Brandi made baklava bars that had a sugar cookie base and was topped with a walnut filling and crushed mini fillo shells. Not only were they much easier to make than traditional baklava, but they were incredibly good. Surprisingly it took me until now to share this with you. However, it should come as no surprise that the recipe shared today is for a peanut butter version.
Instead of walnuts in the filling I used peanuts and added in peanut butter. Since peanut butter is a loyal companion to chocolate, the honey used for the glaze was chocolate honey (which I previously shared in my healthier cookie dough fondue post). In the end you get a classy dessert, with the comforting effect of peanut butter and chocolate. Ohio State may be having a BYE week, but that doesn't mean I'd miss a chance to post a PB+C recipe!

Hazelnut Praline Paste
Have you ever heard of hazelnut praline paste? I know I didn't until a recipe I wanted to make called for it. When I looked into buying some, it definitely was not a inexpensive item to purchase. So I sought out ways to make my own and sure enough found a recipe out there on the internet. It's kind of like making your own Nutella but without the chocolate. Some of you may be saying "No chocolate? Why bother ?" – I say, why not? Although I am not a chocoholic (unless it is paired with peanut butter), I still think that those who are would enjoy this spread. Afterall, it's hazelnut praline ground into a spread! I am not sure there is any way to say no to that. And actually, I ended up using it in combination with chocolate in a recipe which will be shared tomorrow.

Homemade Yellow Cake Mix
Boxed cake mix comes in handy for more things than just making cupcakes for a last minute party. Cake mix can also be used as the base of bars (such as the ones I posted yesterday), as an ingredient in pies, frosting, ice cream, and most popularly on my blog in different kinds of cake batter dips.
To use this homemade mix, I measured out 18.25 oz (about 2-1/2 cups) to use in place of a box of yellow cake mix indicated in yesterday's bar recipe. And it worked great! Although I haven't tried making an actual cake with it yet, at least I know it can work for recipes that call for it as one of their ingredients. I constantly have half-used boxes of cake mix from the creations that pop up in my kitchen.
This would likely also work to make gluten-free cake mixes since I know they make gluten-free all-purpose flour and cake flour. Just be sure to add some xanthan gum. To take it a step further, if you could find a lactose-free nonfat dry milk powder you could even make a lactose-free cake mix (using margarine instead of butter of course).
Review: G.H. Cretors' Popped Corn & Peanut Butter and Chocolate Popcorn
Popcorn is everywhere. At the movies, sporting events, parties – you name it. Along with it's frequency, it is no surprise that there are a variety of flavors to satisfy everyone's cravings. G.H. Cretors has taken it a step further by introducing a sweet and salty combination of caramel corn and cheese corn in the same bag, called the Chicago Mix. (G.H. Cretors also makes Kettle Corn, Caramel Nut Crunch with fresh roasted cashews and almonds, as well as "Just the Cheese Corn" and "Just the Carmel Corn" for those who do not agree with the combination of sweet and salty.)
This new mix is made using a special, "mushroom" variety popping corn, contains only all-natural ingredients, is free of GMOs and certified Kosher. The caramel corn is made the old fashioned way: by hand, in copper kettles. Cane sugar, brown rice syrup (a non-GMO alternative to corn syrup with a lower glycemic impact) and real butter is heated over a flame and then stirred slowly by hand to develop its rich complex flavor and crunch. For the cheese corn, real cheddar cheese is melted in special kettles and then gently mixed with locally-grown, air-popped corn.
But the real question is, does it taste good? Cheesey popcorn is wonderful, as is caramel, but together? I wasn't sure what I would think of this particular sweet and salty combo. When told that I would be sent the caramel and white cheddar popcorn separately in addition to the Chicago Mix, I was convinced that I would end up preferring it that way. But I am here to tell you that those segregated bags are just plain wrong. These two kinds of popcorn were meant to be together in one bag.
To continue the pairing of sweet and salty, I decided to make my own version using their Kettle Corn and adding my favorite sweet and salty combo ever – peanut butter and chocolate! We are only at week 2 of football season so I truly hope you are not tired of having your Saturdays filled with this pairing. I myself find it difficult to imagine ever growing tired of it. This popcorn involves a caramel-ly peanut butter coating with a drizzle of melted chocolate. You could even add in peanuts or miniature Reese's cups.
Find out more about G.H Cretors on their Facebook page, and be sure to check out their current sweepstakes!

Banana Peanut Butter Cup Muffins
I hope that most of you are aware of the "shoes" video from several years ago, which I watched far too many times and friends and I still quote to this day. But did you know that the same guy also made a "muffins" video? It starts out all innocent then gets a little weird and takes a turn to the creepy side. Yet whenever I make muffins I always have it running through my head (followed by "OMG shoes"). Oh yea, did you catch that? I made you muffins that's why I am talking about this random youtube video.
Thankfully these muffins contain no glass despite their sparkly nature on top. I promise those are just coarse granules of sugar ;-). And their insides are definitely not filled with blood but with banana and miniature peanut butter cups! I wish that's what my insides were made of. Then again with how many I've already eaten that may actually be the case.
"I'm baking muffins asbestos I can!" – Come on, admit it. That video is at least a little amusing.

A top-dress which
combines several nutritional factors into one powerful supplement.
EquiPride blends vitamins, organic complexed minerals, stabilized milled
flax and distillers grains with ProBiotein®, our proprietary additive.
"With EquiPride, we noticed that our horses had more endurance but
without becoming excitable - or 'HOT.' Most people feed extra grain
to get that extra energy but we don't have to. We've virtually eliminated
graining our horses." LAURA MILLER Westcliffe, Colorado
EquiPride Instructions:
• Feed 1 oz daily per 100 lbs (cwt) of body
weight (10 oz for a 1,000 lb horse).
One full Cup of the included scoop weighs 5 oz.
• Feeding may be increased 50 percent (1.5
oz / cwt) to improve initial intake and performance.
• Do not exceed 4 lbs / hd in one day.
Note: Keep sealed to minimize evaporative loss
of ethyl alcohol and organic acids.

More Information
ProBiotein is a proprietary blend-additive consisting of yeast
culture, prebiotic oligosaccharides, Beta-glucan, enzymes, and protein isolates.
The Yeast in ProBiotein, cultured on a media of wheat, oats, barley
malt and flax, is rich in biotin and other nutrients to aid digestion.
The Oligosaccharides, often called "prebiotics," because they feed
the beneficial probiotic bacteria, are a key part of the ProBiotein
additive. These prebiotics help maintain good digestive tract health.
Enzymes, the catalysts
of digestion are included in a fibrolytic, amylolytic & proteolytic
array to assist fiber, protein and mineral utilization.
Flax helps in many ways. The oil is dense energy which is high in
Omega 3 fatty acid content. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid often
missing in modern diets. Flax is also among the richest sources of
lignans, which help improve immune function. Organic complexed minerals
are featured. Zinc, copper and manganese are complexed, or bound
to protein instead of other minerals, assuring high bioavailability.
EquiPride also includes ethyl
alcohol to raise palatability,
enhance fiber digestion and add another non-starch energy source.
Now with feed efficiency boost, the cost of maintaining your horse
in top condition can be reduced.
Look for up to 25% improvement in forage feed efficiency with SweetPro's
Digestive Aid, Vitamin and Mineral Supplement for Horses
Horses are hind-gut, foraging herbivores with a comparatively small
stomach. A horse left to it's natural foraging patterns will graze
on high fiber grasses and hay many hours of the day allowing its
small stomach to balance acid and enzyme digestion with the fermentation
digestion of the cecum and colon (hind gut).
Because so many horses are boarded in stalls and non-pasture confines,
they are fed in shorter time periods and with more concentrated energy
feeds such as grain that is high in starch.
This is where SweetPro® Feeds EquiPride is helpful in aiding the
digestion of the typical stable diet.
How EquiPride Works
Because a horse produces less natural amylase (starch digestive enzyme)
than other animals, (i.e. 10% of what hogs produce) the chances
are greater for undigested starch reaching the cecum and colon.
The cecum and colon are the areas where feed is digested by other
organisms rather than by acid and enzymes. Mostly, the populations
of these organisms prefer hay and other forages, not grain. As a
result, elevated levels of grain starch force a shift in their population
and in the process, acid levels rise and start to cause problems
such as colic, laminitis and ulcers.
EquiPride as a digestive aid consists largely of externally processed
ingredients that have been pre-digested for the horse and improves
the nutrient utilization of the horse's entire ration, as well as
adding key nutrients.
ProBiotein® is
the SweetPro® Feeds proprietary "blend additive"
in EquiPride which constitutes the digestive aid. We stress the
blend aspect of ProBiotein® since digestion is a complex process
that is influenced by many factors and combinations of factors. No
single "silver bullet" ingredient is
going to get the job done.
• Enzymes (amylolytic, fibrolytic, proteolytic)
• Yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae)
• Fiber and fermentation metabolites
• Oligosaccharides (prebiotic, i.e., food for probiotic bacteria)
• Beta-glucan from oats
• Protein Isolates (wheat, oats, barley, corn and flax) broadens
amino acid profile
Flax Factor
Omega3 fatty acids (alpha linolenic with lignans).
Vitamins and Minerals
• Vitamins (A, D, E and d-Biotin are added to B complex vitamin from
• Minerals (organic complexed trace minerals to raise bioavailability).
The amylases added to your horse's diet via EquiPride include both
alpha amylase and glucoamylase (aspergillus oryzac extract) to help
mitigate problems. Additionally, there are other enzymes helping
digest fiber, protein and minerals. Blended with the enzymes are
oligosaccharides and Beta-glucan that help feed the beneficial bacteria and help
keep their populations high enough to exclude pathogenic bacteria
from getting a foothold.
A noteworthy component of the EquiPride blend is flax, which is
best known for its rich source of omega 3 fatty acid, so often neglected
in modern diets. Flax is one of the highest sources of lignans. Lignans
contribute to immune function. The major lignan in flax is SDG (seicoisolariciresinol
Lignans from flax are being studied in human applications because
of strong antioxidant properties that may play a positive role in
certain cancers. This characteristic of lignans may also be responsible
for reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation noted in animal
studies. The development of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes has been
shown to be due in part to oxidative stress. The flax lignan SDG
has been found to be effective in lowering the onset of both types
of diabetes due to its potent anti oxidative ability.
All these factors and components of EquiPride add up to improved
digestion allowing the horse's immune system to maintain a wellness
that virtually eliminates the need for costly gastric, joint, hoof
and other chronic malady treatments, while giving energy, weight
maintenance and a shiny coat to this magnificent animal.
And this final note – when digestion is improved, less total feed
is needed. We are seeing forage requirements drop by over 20%. Depending
on prices, one can recover nearly half the cost of EquiPride in
feed savings alone!
EquiPride is the ounce of prevention that eliminates the pound
of cure.

By Ben Bornstein — WUFT-FM The Gainesville City Commission made it clear at its Thursday meeting that it doesn't want the local utility to fall under state legislative control. City commissioners voted in favor of keeping GRU under the current management, rather than have it controlled [...]

Matt Gordon, a student in Professor Yago Colás' "Cultures in Basketball" class at the University of Michigan , and research contributer at Hoopism.com, has generously agreed to share his experience of "Cultures in Basketball" on our blog. You can also follow Matt on Twitter @matogo18.
Last week was quite exciting. On Tuesday, the author of our class textbook Nathaniel Friedman a/k/a Bethlehem Shoals a/k/a Free Darko graced us with his presence. This visit happened to come a mere two days after both the release of ESPN's Fab 5 documentary and Selection Sunday, the day we learned that Michigan would be seeded 8th in the tourney with a potential matchup with hated Duke in the 2nd round (the team fought hard). Thus, we spent a good deal of time discussing the Fabulous Five that once upon a time roamed the streets of Ann Arbor (even though if you look around campus you would never know they existed). It was pretty cool having the images of Jalen, Chris, Jimmy, Ray, and Juwan flying through their air fresh in my head as I heard about how the current U of M squad felt about that team. However, what really struck me as we discussed everything from Grant Hill vs. Jalen Rose to Chris Webber's "tragic" career arc (I put tragic in quotations as there is only so much sympathy you can have for an individual who made approximately $176 million in salary alone over a 15 year career), was how much fun it was to discuss the concept of "potential." Interestingly, I think the Fab 5 are a perfect example of both the beauty and danger of America's favorite ambiguous, yet omnipresent obsession: potential.
What exactly is potential? Is potential defined by unprecedented ability at a young age? Is potential an attribute bestowed upon an individual or group by outsiders who believe that individual or group will go on to accomplish great things? Well, according to Dictionary.com, potential literally means, "possible, as opposed to actual…capable of being or becoming." I think that definition hits the nail right on its head: possibility is everything. Where is the fun in accepting one's present possessions as the best one will have? We are constantly searching for greener pastures, the next "big thing" because we both feel the need to be ahead of the curve and know what's coming, as well as improve upon what we already have. Take the following as an example –
- The iPhone 4 is incredibly popular and has opened up new doors for communication and technology.
- The iPhone 5 has the potential to completely revolutionize cellular technology and the way we live our lives – possessing unparalleled usability and offering unforeseen data capabilities.
Now, as far as I know, there is no iPhone 5. However, to me at least, the thought of something even better than what we have – the possibility of a further upgrade is greatly intriguing. THAT, in my opinion, is the beauty of the Fab 5. They were the ultimate iPhone 5 – an unforeseen cultural phenomenon that, according to many, forever changed the landscape of basketball. I believe what was so exciting about the Fab 5 was exactly that potential they possessed, nobody knew what was coming, so the possibilities for the future were endless. They were changing the game as freshman, imagine what they could do once they matured and grew into their own bodies and selves – they could change [shock] the world even further!
Of course, in the long run, the Fabulous 5 as individuals did not really change the world. They certainly impacted style and on-court demeanor, before the latter was restrained by the NCAA, but their actual careers post-Michigan were far from earth shattering. Yes, the Fab 5 as a unit made an obscene amount of money as professionals, with Juwan, Jalen, and Chris parlaying their talents into long NBA careers, but how could anyone live up to the absurd expectations placed upon the once 18 year old freshmen? This brings me back to my original thoughts on potential – why are we so addicted?
I believe our collective addiction to potential is rooted in the fact that we constantly need that next thing to believe in. Why else do we spend so much time talking about, for example, the NFL or NBA drafts? We need to know who has the potential to be like someone from the past, or better yet, even better. We as a society are never satisfied. This is partly understandable, as it is certainly more fun to imagine what could be than to simply assess the current landscape. However, I believe placing too much value into potential it is extremely dangerous (hello, Darko). Yes, certain outliers like LeBron are able to take an unfathomable amount of attention/media spotlight/pressure at a very young age and still find success, but the weight of expectations created by too much "potential" can be lethal.
I think too much weight is put on the shoulders of young athletes today. When children show flashes of talent in middle school they are instantly expected to make the NBA. There is so much more that goes into a becoming a successful athlete than on-court talent (for example, a great deal of luck), yet when one earns the label of potential, it almost feels like championship(s) or bust. I am not advocating that we abandon our focus on young or rising stars. Rather, I simply think we all must remember the danger involved when we create expectations based on the perceived potential of athletes.
As usual, I'd like to end this post with a question – which current NBA player do you think has the most potential to become a superstar? Who deserves the brunt of our ideally realistic, but most likely lofty and unfair expectations? Until next time…

Found February 16, 2013 on Bush League Chronicle:
PLAYERS: Mike Trout
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
The reigning American League Rookie of the Year raised a few eyebrows this week after showing up to spring training camp with a little extra bagged. No, it wasn't of the luggage variety, either.Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout reportedly tipped the scales at 240 pounds this week after being weighed in around 210 last spring. The initial reports claim that the extra weight isn't just muscle, either.Angeles beat writer Mike DiGiovanna wrote that the 21-year-old has a body more like an NFL fullback now rather than the running back body he sported one year ago. This has some fantasy baseball nerds concerned on how the added bulk may affect Trout's production, especially on the base paths and on defense."You know, my weight fluctuates," Trout said during a pres. "During the course of Spring Training, I'll lose probably five to 10 pounds. So, where I need to be to start the year, I felt like coming in heavier and then getting down my weight to start the year. I know where I need to be."The New Jersey native took the major league landscape by storm in '12 while batting .326 with 30 homers, 83 RBI, and a whopping 49 stolen bases. His stellar rookie campaign earned him an All-Star nod, a Silver Slugger Award, and a runner-up finish in the MVP voting. But some are worried that the freak athlete may be in for the dreaded "sophomore slump" in his second full season in the bigs. The extra weight he reportedly packed on isn't going to lessen their worries, either.Via Sporting News

Portage might easily be described as located at the intersection of commerce and recreation.
Indiana's international deepwater seaport brings the world to our doorstep, while providing family-wage employment to thousands of Portage and region families. Ameriplex at the Port adds many hundreds of additional jobs for residents as it continues to grow each year.
Businesses continue to locate along U.S. 6, Willowcreek Road and the Central Avenue Business District. Retailers have repeatedly found it necessary to expand not long after opening as their traditional market research has failed to keep up with our on-the-ground demographics.
Concurrently, residents and visitors enjoy many recreational opportunities, including thousands of acres of city and national parks, more than a thousand boat slips, and nationally recognized sporting tournaments.
Portage is a nationally recognized recreation destination. West Beach was cited by Parents Magazine as one of our nation's greatest family beaches just last year. Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk has been so well received that we are hustling to plan and construct improved access and parking by reusing nearby brownfield property while respecting our ecology.
Location relative to Chicago, Lake Michigan, rail and interstate highways has contributed to our success, but our families, schools, churches and supportive nonprofit sector form the foundation upon which all else is built.
Portage remains a community of and for children. Families choose to live here generation after generation because it's just a great place to be. Our children -- mine, yours, and our neighbors' -- instill confidence in the future.
Growing up in Portage easily leads to continuing education at University Center, employment at companies such as U.S. Steel, Fronius, Graycor and Monosol, and raising a family to carry on the American Dream.
Northwest Indiana communities are fortunate to offer shoulder-to-shoulder opportunities. Portage residents enjoy crossing County Line Road to visit County Line Orchard, biking along the Prairie Duneland Trail to Hobart, Chesterton, or via the Brickyard Trail to Beverly Shores or Michigan City, driving 20 minutes to visit Brauer Art Museum at Valparaiso University, or taking the South Shore Railroad into Chicago for a "night on the town."
Life in Portage is bigger than geography.

7 notes &
The fact is, ever since cars were kicked out of central Copenhagen, the downtown has been thriving. "For a while now, Copenhagen has had a policy of taking away three percent of the inner city parking every year, on the theory that if people can't park, they won't drive. If you do it slowly enough, nobody notices. I always say that quality of a city shouldn't be determined by counting how many pedestrians you have, but by the number of people who have stopped being pedestrians, and have decided to sit down and stay awhile. We found that for every fourteen square meters you take away from cars you can count on one extra cafe terrance seat. That means for every parking spot removed, you get two more people sitting and enjoying life."
—Jan Gehl
As quoted in Straphanger by Taras Grescoe, the current book I'm reading. It's making me really want to travel to Denmark. (FYI - Copenhagen is farther north than Saskatoon.) I'll be posting more tasty bits, but right now I'm imagining life in Copenhagen. They seem a little sassy there.
Sometimes, a shop owner still tries to claim his business was ruined because the city removed four parking spaces. But now the mayor can point to real figures and say: "There are six thousand more people passing your shop a day than there were five years ago. Are you sure you're a good businessman?"
1 note &
Cities like Berkeley, Arlington and Cambridge experienced something different. Even as they cut back on surface parking, the number of people and jobs climbed upward, as did incomes. Less parking in these places has meant the urban fabric can be stitched back together and there is more space for shops, restaurants, jobs and other things that make cities great. More importantly, the parking isn't needed. People own cars at higher rates, but they don't use them as much. Instead, they live close to the urban core where upwards of 30 percent walk or bike to work.
Saskatoon still has not figured out this concept. The car is god here, leaving us with longer and longer commutes, a downtown wasteland of parking lots, and detached and isolated citizens who don't know their neighbours.
It is true that our transit sucks and our winters are cold. But let's have a radical vision, that really isn't all that radical, because many, many other cities have already figured it out. More roads does not equal less traffic. Cities should not be built for cars but for people.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming:
I used to think Mathews was the only brand of bow on the planet. I had heard of Hoyt and Bowtech and all, but thought anybody who shot anything other than a Matty was an idiot. Then I joined the Mathews forum and saw guys raving about the Ross. I blasted them, how could you come on "our" forum and talk about this...this...this... Ross, whatever that is? Then I shot a CR331 at Lancaster just because I heard so much about them on the forum and it was love at first shot! I couldn't sell my DXT fast enough! So I started collecting Ross's, two 331's and a 337. Now I've discovered Elite, also from the Mathews forum, and feel I've found two manufacturers that I prefer over Mathews.
Moral of the story: I think it's bad business to allow positive reviews of competitor's products because nitwits like me are very easily swayed.
So go ahead Elite Forum, tell me about a single cam that beats the Aigil, I double dog dare ya!

Tune in to style
Joseph Abboud's relationship with the Olympic Games goes back to 1988, when he outfitted NBC's Bryant Gumbel for the network broadcast.
Now president and chief creative officer of HMX Group, parent company of Hickey Freeman, Abboud has stepped up his participation and will dress the entire male sportscasting team, on network and cable channels, in Hickey Freeman.
Abboud said HMX recently established a relationship with NBC, dressing Bob Costas and other sportscasters for "Sunday Night Football," and the association grew from there.
Each of the Olympics broadcasters, including Costas, Matt Lauer, Pat O'Brien, Al Michaels and Jimmy Fallon, will sport customized wardrobes for their on-air appearances. "We don't do clothes off the rack," Abboud said. "We don't just give them a bunch of boxes and tell them to see what works. Our goal is to make them all look comfortable in their clothes."
For the opening ceremony, Hickey is producing a slim-fitting navy blazer with a custom-designed crest that incorporates the logos of NBC, the Olympics and Hickey Freeman. For tennis tournaments, parchment colored blazers with crests will be worn. "These are not the old Howard Cosell ABC 'Wide World of Sports' mustard blazers," Abboud said. "We made them in great British fabrics in our factory in Rochester, N.Y. They're heirloom pieces."

Feel a bit of a fraud posting on this thread as I don't watch GW!! However, all I wanted to say is how pleasant a thread it is in that everyone is singing the praises of Monty D. I have read threads on another forum where the poor man can't do right for doing wrong, much of it being quite personal. I think that shows what a pleasant bunch of people there are on here.
Susan, loved that article. Thanks for posting it.
Jatnikapyar, may I ask, did you post on BBC forum, as your name seems familiar?
Well, I like Nigel but then I do have 3 of my own....! Monty is good too especially as he's got into cottage gardening which is my thing and he's chilled. I was a big fan of Geoff H as I was only then beginning to get the gardening bug.
Hi TT, what is this "BBC forum" I am not familiar with it. but I don't think I have on it. I curious now....WHO is using my name,...I wonder!! By the way, have you been away? I have not seen your dry quibs(which make me smile) lately
without the flies and bugs in life we would have nothing.

Marc Anthony spoke out last night for the first time about the rumors he had an affair with his "HawthoRNe" co-star Jada Pinkett Smith ... calling the whole thing "laughable."
Anthony told the folks at "Nightline" he's heard all sorts of rumors as to why his marriage with Jennifer Lopez ended -- but he's upset at reports that Jada was involved because "we've been friends for years."
Anthony went on to say he was especially bothered by "the effect it has on family. To Will and Jada, and their children, and their relatives and their loved ones."
Lopez and Anthony announced they were splitting on July 15. Will and Jada, meanwhile, have been dogged by rumors of a break-up for the past few weeks, but insist their marriage is just fine.
OK....Who cares about another Hollyweird Divorce?The reasons are never what is given by a "spin team" so why bother believing anything?The fact that Marc "rodent man" Anthony is more upset about pizzing of Jada is laughable actually.
If no one cared we'd keep our comments to ourselves.
Of COURSE the affair rumors are laughable. Pinkett is a LESBIAN.
Besides, he can only sleep with a woman he can beat on.
If there's ever another Addams Family movie, I vote for Marc to play Gomez.
of course the Pinkett-Smith marriage is fine. Scientology is demanding it be so.
Hmmm, it all makes sense now with both marriages on the rocks. Wow, he looks guilty, good luck looking WS in the eye again!! And good luck with that story, guess JLo did not buy it either!!
That's what George Anthony (Casey's dad) said in the trial about the search helper. Then the search helper got on the stand and said "yes, we had an affair".
he looks like the bastard child of Skeletor and Steve Buscemi...he also seems like a real ****.
People crack me up, why comment on a marriage you know nothing about? You do not know these people, you do not know how they live, and you do not have the right to judge. And what is the bullying about? Why make fun of someone because of their exterior? How pathetic is that. Don't sit on a throne and cast stones, you may once live in the glass house yourself.
It's probably the only truthful thing he has said. He wouldn't touch Jada with someone else's ten foot poll.
Why do I have a feeling this breakup is a hoax? It's just one big publicity machine for J.Lo as she's revamping her post-baby career
This greaser had to pull it out of JHo, now can't wait to slide into something else, regardless of who it is. He came from nothing, and is nothing widout someone on his arm
toad: 28 minutes ago
People crack me up, why comment on a marriage you know nothing about? You do not know these people, you do not know how they live, and you do not have the right to judge.
Um, toad, do you not realize that one only has to click your name to see all your past (judgmental) comments?

The new iOS 7
I just updated my iPhone to iOS 7 and I have to say "I love it".
It looks pretty good except of some bugs or incomplete things.
It is a little bit too colorful but it's simple and still minimalistic for example the music app just the Game Center is too playful.
One can see that the new iOS 7 will be magnificent and will bring a lot of cool new features to us.
All in all there are bugs and yes it isn't a stable version for daily uses but it's a beta version and the first one, so Apple did a great job and it's cool to get a few "prelooks" to iOS 7 which will change everything. Again.

Very tender and tasty cupcakes!!!
Basic White Cupcakes
Belle13 Posted: 11/15/08
Camiller Posted: 03/01/10
I was excited to make these cupcakes because I wanted to try making good tasting cupcakes with a short cut - using the boxed cake mix. I followed the recipe very closely, my oven is correctly calibrated, and I'm an experienced baker. I did not like these at all. The texture was too light and springy, most likely because I used the suggested boxed cake mix. The flavor was bland even though I used excellent quality vanilla and butter. I did make an excellent Swiss Buttercream frosting which almost makes up for the cupcake underneath.
slahomestyle Posted: 05/23/09
It's the BEST White Cupcake you will EVER eat!! It's the ONLY recipe I make and everyone who has ever tried them, LOVES them!! and asks me for the recipe!!
KatrinaR Posted: 04/06/09
These are some of the best cupcakes I have ever made! With a vanilla buttercream frosting from scratch, they're truly delicious! I highly recommend them!
motherof7 Posted: 04/02/10
These made a hit with Cream Cheese Frosting and sugar sprinkles on top.
ljgriffith Posted: 02/14/11
These were completely disappointing. They were dry and tasteless. I made them for Valentine's Day for my hubby. The only thing different that I did was to use a yellow cake mix instead of the white that was called for, and I don't know if that was the problem. I don't think so. I was hoping it would NOT taste like a cake mix, given the buttermilk and the other ingredients that were added, but it did. Yuck!! Next time, I will just stick with homemade!
MommaD63 Posted: 12/07/10
Excellent, moist white cake. I can stop my search for a go to white cake now. I am NOT a boxed cake lover, but this is outstanding. I followed the recipe exactly as written. The cream cheese coconut frosting just doubles the yumminess! I made it into a 9x13 cake for work and they gobbled it up in 1 day....with only 8 co-workers! Will definitely make into a layer cake for Christmas day.
Janetcooks Posted: 05/29/11
I have made these several times with excellent results. Everyone who has them just raves over them! What I like best about them is that they are not as soft and do not fall apart as easily as those just make only with cake mix, but they are still moist and tender! I usually top them with an old-fashioned buttercream icing, piped with a large round tip. I have also made them in the mini-cupcake size and they turn out equally well.
kflannery Posted: 04/09/11
Make sure you are using the PUDDING cake mx or it will be bland. Otherwise a great recipe.
AJlovesfood Posted: 12/07/11
I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit. I made it for my cousin's graduation party and everyone said it tasted better than the graduation cake! You absolutely must use the almond extract and proper cake mix. They make a big difference. I also add a little extra vanilla extract because I just love vanilla extract. I've always used butter cream frosting, but I am going to try cream cheese frosting this time because I'm also making red velvet cupcakes and I'm just too lazy to make two different types of frosting :p

The mod plays right after the events of C&C Tiberian Sun Firestorm.
Cabal was defeated by GDI and Nod forces together. But after the destruction of the Core the alliance didn't hold long. Kane was dead, the Brotherhood scattered up without a main leader. An easy target for GDI. In 2035 the Global Defense Initiative declared that the Brotherhood of Nod was finally defeated.
After that devasting victory, the task forces where split into three main groups. The defense group, the attack group alias Steel Talons and the expansion group ZOCOM. Each group had a main task. While the main defense force defended the last Tiberium free zones called Blue Zones, the ZOCOM reclaimed Tiberium infested Red Zones back. The Steel Talons however - got the task to get the old territory of Nod under control. They destroyed here and there some small Nod rebells but nothing dangerous was happening in the Yellow Zones...till one day.
2039...The Forgotten who lived hidden in these Zones formend a big organised military operation against the GDI. Surprised by the Mutants, GDI had to react.

7 comments by Astor on Sep 8th, 2014
Hey guys and girls, today I want you to tell my story. It's about how the mod started from 2009 and evolved till today.
I started playing Tiberian Sun with about an age of only 6 years. My first modding steps were made with a small tool called SunForge, it allowed me to edit the basic INI files with a help of a GUI. That was about a decade ago (2004). I messed alot with the units mostly. Giving my favourite unit the Titan more HP, making the Core Defender buildable etc...
The years passed and I forgot about the game completely. 2008 I discovered it again, with the help of the Internet I learned to modify the game better. Instead of SunForge (which I never found again) I learnd to do it with NotePad - most of the advanced modders called it "modding like a man".
My first "real" work was devastating, when I showed my results, most of the modders smashed it and told me thousands of things I did wrong. It felt like I reached nothing. Somewhat disturbed, I tried again...but harder.
Project Nemesis 1.0
The first big breakthrough was, when I managed to add my first non vanilla asset to the game, fully functional and without a crash or bug. That gave me the Idea of sharing this with others. But my primary motivation was for private use, to play with friends.
My first step into the right direction, the Nemesis and a C&C3; Mammoth Tank. This is the oldest picture I have from the mod.
So after that I thought about a name for it. I choosed Project Nemesis (after all it was a big ask for me to add that unit ingame). The first public version had removed build limits for Mammoth MK.II and Cyborg Commando. It had also 3 new units (Nemesis, Mammoth Tank, Reaper Tank). Version 1.0 was born on Nov 18th 2009.
The Reaper Tank from Nod - originally thought as Mammoth Tank counter, but I couldn't manage to add the barrels for it, so it got stuck as missile artillery.
Project Nemesis 1.1 - Project Nemesis 1.4
I can still remember the first comments here on moddb. I was surprised that people actually had interrest into something I had put together. It was hard to believe, but it felt great. So I didn't stopp, I wanted to deliver these few people a better experience (even if it were only 2-6 people at the very beginning).
So I added new buildings (Nod Pyramid, Nod Montauk, Core Obelisk, Obelisk of Darkness, GDI Armory) and more units. Some of them are still in active duty in the latest build like the fast Sting.
Another step forward was AI, I wanted also that they can take advantage of the new units. But I also tried to mess with base building. Yes, the annoying component tower bug was awfull back at that time. So GDI AI got Nod walls instead their original ones - till I fixed them now (after 6 years yay!).
Over the few weeks I worked on this mod, it grew up very fast with content. New sidebar images, new graphics, diffrent AI, and much more...
You would think adding just new stuff can't make really problems right? Too bad, that is just not true.
I messed with the code further and further. At the rate I worked, many mistakes where made. Which I had to clean up in later builds. The map editor stopped working with bridges and civilian buildings. The game started giving IE (internal errors) like crazy.
But still, I didn't stop.
BTW, here is a downloadlink of version 1.4 which is still available for download:
Attention! That build is 6 years old!
You can also find version 1.7/1.8/1.8.5 too.
Project Nemesis 1.8 and the end of it
The mod started to evolve into an extreme kind. I wanted to push much more with it.
I changed AI to mass produce units, adding just more and more units...
Tried messing with player colors
But bugs always happen right?
This was the last build which got GDI/Forgotten and Nod/Cabal combined.
Cabal & Forgotten playable? + AI!?
In my next part, I will write more about how it was adding Cabal and the Forgotten as playable sides and getting the damn AI work with it - without blowing my game up.
I worked about a whole week several hours to get this to work. Hundreds of IE's happend. It was just trial and error. Again and again and again. But the result was unbelievable. Finally I could enjoy Cabal as an own faction! I would thank at this point here for the people/modders from PPM, which helped me a lot with this task. It would have been not possible without them!
My first public image of the Cabal faction.
Shortly after that I tried for The Forgotten, with the experience I got from adding Cabal, it was a little easier but still a mindbreaking task.
But like I said, you add new stuff, you break old stuff...
Crystallized Doom 1.9
I tried fixing as much as I could, the game was unstable and crashed almost like maybe like 2/3 of all games played.
I deleted the vanilla AI files and made them from scratch, as they had stuff inside which was horrible obsolete for my mod and was just breaking stuff. My last big task I wanted to do, was to make the game compatible with the original campaign.
But that was even more unstable than skirmish, as I couldn't even manage to fix the first GDI mission. I noticed at this time, that I had screwed a lot with the game lol.
After 3 years, I had to take a break, I thought I reached my possibilities in this game. I stopped. In favour for my Far Cry horror mod and Total War Shogun II modifiaction.
Crystallized Doom Resurrected 2013
In PART 2 I will write about how everything evolved and why I started with this mod again. I am also going to talk about the future plans for this mod and the next release (build 1.9.41).
Last but not least I want to thank all people who supported me over the years, sometimes it feels like it was just a few days ago I uploaded the first version of this mod and waited for the first feedback comments. Imagine a 13 year old child who just was eager to get a chance like this back at that time. Now I am 19 years old and this thing here is still not finished...oh dear ^^
If you read the whole part, I want to thank you for your patience and I am really looking forward for 1.9.41 and it's release!
A quick update to fix a small mistake, for the latest release.
Download of version 220.127.116.11 for Crystallized Doom.
Crystallized Doom beta build 184.108.40.206 - This is the latest build for people who like to try it out. If you prefer a polished version you should wait...
Crystallized Doom 18.104.22.168 update - NOTE requires 1.9.4 standalone!
After 5 months of hard work it has arrived! We hope you enjoy it! Changelog in description...
Crystallized Doom updated to 1.9.31 with many important new features! If you are getting a "Please reinstall error" with the mod, you are missing essential...
Very impressive mod. I will be tracking it. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into it thus far and here is to hoping you guys achieve v2 with all campaigns and features in place! I, for one, hope so!
Thank you for your interest!
Our team already got bigger, we now are 5 people working on this mod. Templarfreak is our newest member which will be focusing on voxels. :)
Guys your mod is awesome.I really like the units design but that old juggernaut in my opinion doesnt fit in the mod.I mean can you do it more like in the cutscene?Anyway if you dont want to make it it's okay i understand.
Have done some experiments with it too, I had a new graphic for it (think of the KW Behemoth design & size) but deploy animation was still not final so it didn't made it into last public update. It looks very good but the deployed state was still bugged/not final -> so no release yet sry.
Some other units also got some new faces, like the Avatar, but I won't give any preview screens, instead it will be one big package/update/news this time. Some older screens showed a few Ideas like the big stealth tank/transporter which replace useless/old units.
Thanks for the fast reply and no problem i can wait for the good stuff:)
your mod is really fun!
I will make a big news with coming features and changes soon!
Wow just wow. I remember playing this mod ages ago and i have to say i has come a very long way well done! Congrats on getting 2 new Factions in the game i have heard that is a very difficult task to do properly and you seem to have pulled it off.
So far the only issue I have had is when loading a game it reverts to some tiny resolution. But apart from that i have only had 1 or 2 ctds.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I had to stop modding the last weeks as i upgraded my computer. So i had to set up my whole modding enviroment again up.
Its hard to keep up working on this mod (working since 2009 on it! Pff). I may reach this year a point where i can say its final...who knows :-)
Also the scorpion death makes the game lag to ungodly proportions. It is the ultimate game ender.

Post-Dwight Howard Magic showing resilience
Orlando, FL, United States (4E Sports) – Despite a 12-19 record, the Magic appear headed in the right direction under new general manager Rob Hennigan and first-year coach Jacque Vaughn.
Hennigan has made wise front-office decisions based on what's best for the franchise long-term rather than what popular opinion suggested.
Last summer, he remained patient on the suggested Dwight Howard for Andrew Bynum trade.
The Magic didn't want Bynum for a variety of seasons,including his persistent knee injuries and the unpredictability of being able to keep him when his contract expires after this season.
So, Hennigan still traded Howard, and acquired guard-forward Arron Afflalo, center Nikola Vucevic, Maurice Harkless, draft picks and salary-cap flexibility moving forward. Vucevic just had a 29-rebound game, better than anyone in team history, which includes Howard and Shaquille O'Neal.
Bynum hasn't yet played for the Philadelphia 76ers due to knee problems.
The melding of veterans (Afflalo, Davis, Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick and Hedo Turkoglu) and young players has given Orlando much more optimism.
"Overall, we've gotten better," Vaughn said. "That was the goal and the mission setting out the first game of the year."
"Expectations-wise, we never put a number on how many wins or losses we were going to have," Vaughn said.
"Really, it was an overall message of us getting better and creating an atmosphere where that's our approach every day."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
From what I had originally read about this change, they're not removing the dot of SL. They're merging it into corruption....so now when you cast corruption, it automatically tacks on the SL dot/effect. It just means you wont have to waste GCD's applying SL anymore. I know it doesn't seem to be worded this way here, but I believe that is how it will work, in which case it is a buff, not a nerf.
