Debbie Schlussel and others were quick to blame Muslims. While much can be said about the religion inspiring violence, the average Saudi cashier or office clerk isn't thinking about killing people.
What annoys me is the open racism that Muslims have to endure. It seems as if the word terrorism has been saved exclusively for Muslims. With the Aurora and Newtown shootings those guys werent terrorists they were just crazy or depressed or whatever. From the news coverage I watch I didn't hear the word terrorist one time. Are those guys not the epitome of terrorists?
The percentage of Muslims that are deranged is not any different than Christians, Jews, or whichever religion. The simple fact of the matter is that PEOPLE are deranged. The news, however, wants to paint this picture that Muslims would love to eradicate the US but thats an extremely small percentage. You'd find non-Mulsim white people here that would love to watch the country burn too. The percentage is so small, and its the same with Muslims. Unfortunately, it only takes one person out of a billion to think it's okay to shoot up a school or plant bombs and commit an act of terrorism.
Muslims that commit acts of terrorism couldn't be labeled as Muslims anymore since it is against Islam to commit such acts. So use that brain of yours and actually open your eyes instead of blindly believing everything that is on the news. The news could report tomorrow that all people with cancer drank water and people would be dumb enough to blame water. Think a little, I hope it doesnt hurt too much.
Glenn Beck isn't to be taken seriously. He really has to say **** like that because he has a mouth-breathing audience to satisfy that will lap this **** up. Can't fault the guy for knowing where his money is made.
And now his fires have gone out.
As I previously said, Islam forbids indiscrimante killing to occur. Muslims are getting treated so poorly because the media has done a splendid job of making people believe the overwhelming majority of Muslims are violent, ruthless killers who only live to see America burn. A disgustingly large percentage of Americans are woefully ignorant when it comes to the second largest religion. I've had people ask me - no sorry, TELL me - that Muslims worship the devil and that Muslims go to Hell if we do not convert a non-Mulsim. I'll assume you guys are smart enough to realize how ridiculous that is, but unforutnatly this country does have a lot of uneducated people not interested in finding out the actual truth. I've had printed pamphlets passed out to me that quotes the Quran saying that "the eagle must die".. No the Quran does not say that. I've looked for that line in the place it was quoted and it was about Mariam (Mary) and it had nothing to do with a freaking eagle. Yet these people spreading the misinformation (like Glenn Beck) prey on the ignorant population that are too lazy to confirm things and take everything they hear for a fact.
People lie and Glen Beck certainly lies but lets look at the numbers. According to the own FBI website, "Islamic extremists" are responsible for about 6% of terrorist events. http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/pu...5#terror_05sum
So why aren't these other terrorist groups talked about? The news just wants to vilify the Muslims and blame the entire group for the actions of an extreme minority within that religion. It's like saying all Christians agree with the Westboro Church but people realize that group does not represent the entire population. So why is it okay to generalize Muslims in the same, ridiculous manner?
Attachment 10600
I would be very concerned if someone brainwashed by political correctness or something more sinister didn't find my statements "dumb".
Guns: Tell us which shooters went overseas for training, which gunmen were ever thought to be members of a sleeper cell (link), which ones foreign governments warned us about (link).
My impression that Muslim people have the power to eradicate violence is the claim that 99% of them are against it. IF all these shooters went to be trained with some well-known international terror organization in the USA, then your disagreement would be less ridiculous. IF all, or even most, Islamic terrorists acted alone, like the majority of shooters in the USA, then your disagreement might not be so laughable.
A person individually going rogue is hard to predict. A person going overseas to be trained with well known terrorist groups is a bit more indicative of his intentions.
So no, I don't blame you for not being able to predict when people who are not publicly known to be mentally unstable, snap and kill their parents and go off and shoot up and elementary school.
But, for entertainment's sake, please continue mindlessly comparing individual self-trained murderers to those trained by well known terrorist organizations.
As far as the Aurora and Newtown shooters - a few of the differences are: they were individuals and they targeted their own people. Once they were taken out the threat was over. There was no looking over our shoulder for the next attack. Still terrorists but their hate didn't appear the be based on religion, race or ethnicity. How often is it news here in the States when Muslims target other Muslims with their terrorism?
Here's one persons opinion on comparing deranged Muslims to deranged people of other religions: link
Yes, PEOPLE are deranged it's just that one group has cornered the market on getting deranged people together to perpetuate terrorism around the globe. Thus far deranged people of other religions seem to be loners.
Once a devout follower of any religion does something awful it's really convenient to pretend he was never part of the religion. Please. by all means, take it upon yourself to search out these terror groups and personally tell each of them that they're not really not Muslims if they commit acts of terror. I'm sure they'll listen to your superior intellect and mend their ways.
You're the one parroting 99% of the news yet I'm the one blindly believing everything on the news. Again, for the sake of entertainment, please do not change.

7 - 9 of 18 ALL Articles
Monday, 06 Feb 2012
Earlier in the term 24 of our Year 10 students visited the 'Science Live' event at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. The day was comprised of a series of inspiring talks by some of Britain's top scientists, all working at the cutting edge of their specialisms. Trent College pupils have provided some great feedback, with the consensus that the day was a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
Below is a report from student Dan Giddins.
"Professor Jim Al-Khalili was probably one of my favourite lecturers at the GCSE Science live show, because he talked about some of the most interesting subjects in physics.
He started off by talking about the theory behind time travel and how it is actually possible to slow time down. He explained that if you travel at the speed of light then time will pass by slower, by bending the space-time fabric. He also stated that it was impossible to travel backwards in time but it could be a possibility to slow time down by traveling forward in time, due to albert Einstein's theory of relativity and .
Professor Jim Al-Khalili finished his talk by talking about black holes, and how there is a theory that they can be connected by wormhole, because space can be folded over like a sheet of paper. I enjoyed his talk as well as the rest of the Science lectures."

Protecting wildlife with the right incentives
How EDF brokered peace between landowners and endangered species
"Every year we'd go out and listen for the birds: nothing. Then, suddenly, birdsong was everywhere." That's how EDF ecologist David Wolfe described his thrilling encounter with endangered black-capped vireos on Kerry Russell's ranch in central Texas.
Working with us, Russell successfully restored habitat for the tiny songbird on his ranch, which sits just beyond the reach of Austin's sprawl. He participates in Safe Harbor, an EDF brainchild. Under Safe Harbor, landowners like Russell received incentives from the government to protect rare species on their land, while avoiding new government restrictions on how they use their land.
4 million acres
Before Safe Harbor, landowners sometimes destroyed valuable habitat for wildlife so they could avoid federal regulations. Today, the owners of some four million acres nationwide are welcoming 63 rare species under Safe Harbor agreements.
Groups ranging from The Nature Conservancy to the City of Tempe Arizona have used it as a prime tool to save endangered species and it is now commonly used by state and federal fish and wildlife departments as a prime way of protecting vanishing habitat. "We've learned we can be more effective by being flexible and listening to landowner concerns," says Wolfe.
In Texas, ranchers have enrolled 6,000 acres of vanishing habitat in Safe Harbor and their efforts are paying off: Vireos and golden cheeked warblers are nesting in restored habitat from which they've been absent for decades, and other species are rebounding elsewhere around the country.
"Safe Harbor is a breath of fresh air – the first concerted effort to work with landowners by a national organization I've seen," says Russell.
Through unusual partnerships like these, we broaden the range of people working to save the environment. We partner with communities who depend on a healthy environment: Farmers, ranchers and forest owners.
"Farmers and ranchers manage more than half the land in America and they deserve help when they want to do the right thing," notes Wolfe. "Through incentives, we've made conservation pay for landowners."

Or are you asking what the point of waiting is? Maybe he likes the prestige of being one of the weathliest men in America. Maybe he wants to keep his options open. Maybe he wants to use his assets to make even more money so that he can leave even more of it to charity. Who knows?
It's still a good thing and I wish that more super wealthy people would leave a substantial amount of their assets to charitable causes rather than handing them off to their heirs to squander on dumb **** like $9,000 shower curtain rings.
screw that Steve send me your billions I know what to do with 'em.

I hope he sticks. This may be a foretelling sign that Collison will not return.
Very nice pick up by the Clippers. Looks like Delonte had some solid numbers in China, so this is certainly a low risk, high reward signing, even if it's just for the summer.
Nice pick up! I like the idea of a defensive orientated PG/SG
Gotta give you credit, you sure shoot high....
Hope he's in shape and has his head on straight. One downside: Even though there was a minute chance of LeBron coming here anyway, but if Delonte is here, no chance LeBron is coming
Ain't he a headcase? Full of drama. Thank god its only a SL deal.
If he doesn't cause drama in the locker room I would love to have Delonte on the team.I like his style of play and think he would fit in great playing next to Crawford off the bench.We need a guard to play next to Crawford who doesn't need to have the ball in his hands,plays tough defense,and can shoot from 3.He has past experience playing for Doc which is a plus but he does bring a lot of drama with him unfortunately.
^^^^^^ Barnes was considered the same thing. A headcase and full of drama
Can't hurt to have him at Summer League.
Doesn't really seem like the correct arena to try him out. I'd rather work out some Euro or undrafted college PG at SL and evaluate Delonte's mind and body with an invite to training camp where he'd be jelling (or not) with our actual team..
I've always liked Delonte despite his issues. Maybe I'm in the minority but I hope he ends up on the team. He can play defense and isn't undersized. Me likey.
Its one thing me and you agree on joe. I like his defense and size and athleticism.
There ya go.
Guess that means no lebron this summer....rumor had it that delonte messed around with lebrons mom...damit
Ehh we're recycling has been/ never was now
Honestly in my opinion Delonte is a bad idea for 29 NBA teams. There's one team that I think Delonte would be able to resurrect his career with and that's whatever team has Doc Rivers.
Delonte needs a coach who's dealt with him before and can keep the rein's tight. He also needs a coach that he respects.
If we don't re-sign Darren he is at the top of my list behind Patty Mills.
I think this is a good move. If he can get back to form he would be useful off the bench.
Ugh, Delonte is the retread of the retreads. Baron Davis is still probably better than Delonte. And Baron was HORRIBLE the late years of his career.
Guarantee Grant Hill can still outplay Delonte.
Speed at backup point has helped us the last 2 years in Bledsoe and Collison. Why get someone slow with no shot?
Really? Mo Willams, Bledsoe, and Collison were all undersized and no defense...Save Bledsoe. Speed is only good for a 1st or second round exit. I'll take a chance on him.
i think West would be a perfect backup, i wanted him this year. West is a big PG that can play D and also be on the floor with CP at the same time.
i love west as cp3's backup pg and he also has the size to play sg but he needs to prove it first and hopefully he can show us in the summer league why we need to sign him for next season.
Great point. There definitely was that underlying commonality between Williams, Collison, and Bledsoe and it has always led to a 2nd round out at best. I can't recall watching too many games in which Delonte West played in, but at this point there does need to be a change in direction. If West can offer solid defense then it's an upgrade. We need defensive guys and hopefully West can fit that mold. Doc has always been fond of West, and sometimes he can find some very good players to fit his system.
I kind of recall the decision to bring in Hedo Turkoglu, which at the time I was completely against. Turkoglu ended being a really great decision, and had he not been injured he probably could have helped us tremendously in the playoffs. Perhaps Doc is hoping he can have success with Delonte as well. Either way Delonte has summer league to display how much he has left in the tank.
Delonte West is a very good player. Hopefully he hasn't lost a step in the past couple years playing against substandard competition. I like this idea though. He's tough as nails, true competitor, plays hard, and is a clutch shooter.
He'll get no more than a minimum deal and will be grateful for that opportunity. He'll be motivated. And it leaves us with exceptions to use on other positions.
I thought about Mo, but I don't think it makes sense. Redundant talent and not really a PG IMO. No defense, shoot first guy. He'd play his role, he's old enough to know what he is and what he isn't but I think we can do better as far as fit with the roster.
Would love to have this guy defense and capable shooter and slasher.
lol at that KFC freestyle! Way better than their commercials.
is West better as second or third string pg ??
If we sign Delonte, say goodbye to the Lebron-dream because Delonte bumped uglies with Lebron's mom. "Allegedly"
If you trust terez owens, then it really happened.
Wonder if he's still got it. If doc wants him in then i trust his decision
That's the thing that bothers me. He doesn't have that great of a record getting players he wants.
Speed is only good for 1st or 2nd round exit? Then would not be whatever the clip have done the last few years only good for a 1st or 2nd round exit since that is what happened? So we should get rid of the whole team following that logic.
Maybe I should have added a sarcasm smili or something. My point is that undersized PG's who have speed haven't worked out that well in the playoffs for us. Maybe trying to get a bigger PG who can shoot and play defense might fair better considering we already have a undersized PG starting.
I guess he's not terrible....
if there is one pg who you want to play alongside jamal crawford on the second unit, its delonte west. he is 6'3" w/ a 6'6" wingspan which is just an inch shorter than the 6'1" beldsoe's 6'7" wingspan and a 3" more of collison's wingspan. he may not be that quick or athletic compared toEbledand dc but he definitely has the the size to play defense blocking opponents shots and he has long and quick hands to antipate passes and close out passing lanes, and his type of play on offense is perfect w crawford and even paul for he doesn't need the ball in his hands to be more effective if you compare him to dc.his spot up shooting is great and his form is smooth. bledsoe can't even shoot right now. he is actually a combination of what dc and Ebledcan bring w lesser speed and atheticism but he is way more smarter than both of them.he is basically a skilled cerebral combo guard w size and handles. the main question marks with him right now is his attitude,game shape and consistency.
It's a lame rumor that LeBron haters ran with in 2010, and regardless, he's only been signed to a Summer League deal with no guarantee of making our actual roster. Chillax.
Delonte is a good and solid player two way player if he's fine mentally, but him being fine mentally has been why he hasn't been in the league, soo...
I mean he was playing pretty well for Dallas and then they let him go. It wasn't because of his actual basketball ability or lack thereof.
Like someone mentioned, he's 6'3 but his length means he can actually defend SG's. He has a 6'6 wingspan and an 8'3.5" standing reach. For comparison, Redick is 6'5 but has a 6'3.25 wingspan and 8'1.5" standing reach and Bledsoe is 6'1.5" and has a 6'7 wingspan and 8'2 standing reach. So in terms of what is important in basketball, Redick is the shortest of those three players when it comes to contesting shots, getting shots over defenders, covering horizontal space.
If he's right with everything, he's a backup PG that can actually play and guard both PG and SG, so no more feeling so undersized. He's got length and athletic ability for his size, and he's a committed defender as well as having the ability to be a secondary ball handler, and is a good 3PT shooter. So it's a good under the radar move if it pans out.
He is a headcase but his defense is certainly valuable.
Dexter Pittman has also been added to the Summer League team.
So I guess we don't need this guy anymore.
Agreed, part of the problem is having small sized PG's who aren't strict bench players which means they force you to play them more minutes, so you then play them with your starting PG who is already small and you see things like Paul expending energy guarding SG's in the post.
Really hope we can get someone like Livingston, tired or seeing the small PG lineup. I had said it over and over that Bledsoe was perfect to use as a 6th man PG/SG if you don't want to start him, have him take Jamal's role, just balances the roster much better and him and Paul in the backcourt isn't bad because he can actually guard SG's. He plays much bigger than Reggie for example.
West is also a good option, he has the length and athletic ability to actually play two positions, but most importantly he brings the consistency of defense.
we'll see west's present game in the summer league. hope he is good.
With DC and other opting out his chances of making the team have increased.
This LEL
LOL LeBron will never come now.

Are only children lonely and selfish?
Are only children lonely and selfish?
Not according to Lauren Sandler, an only child and mother of one. She discusses the topic in the New York Times opinion piece "Only Children: Lonely and Selfish?".
Sandler writes that our culture paints children without siblings as loners, misfits, and selfish.
"If a child doesn't have siblings, it's generally assumed that there's a hush-hush reason for it: we don't like being parents (because we are selfish), we care more about our status — work, money, materialism — than our child (because we are selfish), or we waited too long (because we are selfish). When have you heard someone say an only child is better off?" Sandler writes.
Sandler, who has been researching the topic for the past three years, points to hundreds of studies exploring character traits in which only children scored just as well as children with siblings. And, she writes, "endless research shows that only children are, in fact, no more self-involved than anyone else."
Are you an only child? Do you have an only child? Share your thoughts about it.

Driving Miss Bridwell
Driving Miss Bridwell
The VW van was unusual; it had doors on both sides. It was called a Transporter, and had a hell of a lot of miles on it. I recall it was maybe an old 1964 but it was my new bedroom for a few years. What it lacked at first was an 8-track and knowing that music is at the root of it all, somehow I saved up enough S&H Green Stamps to score such a unit, and so greedily installed the booty before another climbing season could try to start without rhythm and textures.
Since Camp Four had very very few sound systems resident, the bus was popular especially with Werner, Klemens, Bridwell, and our other friends who came to drink at the trough, so to speak. Clapton, The Stones, CSNY, The Youngbloods, Mayall were some of the favorites, but I was a jazz fan also, so I had some Coltrane too. Klemens and I shared this taste but the harder work of Coltrane was too much like screaming, for Royal and most other sensible friends. It was very hard for me to tolerate this lack of tolerance on their part. For every climber, there was a chosen musician, who clearly had the secret key for his climbing; for Klemens and I, Coltrane was indisputably why we were the offwidth dragons.
Jim and I were driving around the Valley one time, the weather was crappy, but when you have a master plan, it just doesn't matter. We made do, as we had the 8-track and we had new routes to scope out with our temporary though copious spare time. There was some gas in the tank and the motor hadn't blown up yet. As far as JB was concerned, it was a mellow, wet afternoon in the mid and lower Valley and we were centered. Just like he was happy to belay off of a battery of rurps 6 years later 2000 ft off the talus on
So JB goes, you're freaking out again Haan, and this Coltrane stuff is horrible or something to that effect. I think he even used the side of his mouth to tell me this. And it didn't help that we only had about a dozen 8-tracks total to work with for months. I suppose he could have said, "Coltrane's approach, though tossing up huge melodic questions and though not atonal, requires more engagement then I currently want to offer it", but he didn't. While he was sitting next to me on the VW bench, in my 21 year old mind's eye from
His slashing comment only made matters worse as I was kind of needing for Coltrane to actually have the answer here and I wanted JB to go with me on this. But he not only didn't, he didn't need to, because the answer was clear: climbing, nothing else---oh and his harem. After all, he was so much older than I---he was 27, practically middle-aged like Royal, older than dirt! I had been bothering the Lion but he could work with it. So obviously the truth was right there and I of course missed it that afternoon and had called it suburban.

Doesn't time fly? It seems so recent that I was in London, going to the player party before Wimbledon, and playing in The Championships. When I think that this is the 10th year I've played here, including junior tournaments, it's scary!
Wimbledon is a special tournament not only because of the traditions of the Club but the local area: I like to rent a house nearby, along with most other players. The tournament is unique in this way: we stay in hotels for the rest of the year.
Because we're in houses a lot of players invite their families and we take advantage of having a kitchen – my Mum often cooks for us and I've also prepared some meals over the years, although nothing special!
Obviously Serena is a big favourite for the women's title, but anything can happen – that's the beauty of sport. I'm sure she'll feel extra pressure because everything seems to expect her to win. Sometimes people forget how difficult it is to win seven matches during a Grand Slam, even if you're the best player in the world.
My own form has been pretty good in practice this past week. I was obviously really disappointed with myself in Eastbourne – I didn't adapt to the conditions and the match got away from me quite quickly. That's something I have to be careful about next week: on grass there isn't much time to find your rhythm. You can't really work yourself into the match, instead you have to be ready from the first point.
This is something that's particularly relevant for my first round match against Virginie Razzano, because she is capable of hitting a lot of winners in a short space of time. I have to make sure that it is me who is hitting the winners and attacking.
It's nice to be scheduled first so there shouldn't be much waiting around, unless it rains. I also really like Court 2, which is one of the new courts.

Girls Aloud are an English/Irish pop girl group based in London. They were created through the ITV1 talent show Popstars The Rivals in 2002. The group consists of Cheryl Cole (née Tweedy), Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. They are signed to Fascination Records, a Polydor imprint. The group achieved a string of twenty consecutive top ten singles, including four number ones, and two number one albums in the United Kingdom. All of their albums have been certified platinum, with their albums The Sound of Girls Aloud, and Out of Control both selling over one million copies. They have been nominated for five Brit Awards, winning the 2009 Best Single for "The Promise". Girls Aloud's collaborations with Brian Higgins and his songwriting and production team Xenomania have earned the group critical acclaim, due to an innovative approach to mainstream pop music. The group has become one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, amassing a fortune of £25 million by May 2010. Guinness World Records lists them as "Most Successful Reality TV Group" in the 2007 edition. They also hold the record for "Most Consecutive Top Ten Entries in the UK by a Female Group" in the 2008 edition, and are credited again for "Most Successful Reality TV Group" in the 2011 edition.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Joanne Reaney
"These are so close to the Girl Scout oatmeal peanut butter cookies that you won't know the difference!"
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup
butter, softened
1/2 cup
peanut butter
1/2 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
quick cooking oats
3 tablespoons
butter, softened
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup
smooth peanut butter
2 1/2 tablespoons
heavy whipping cream
This doesn't make a lot (approx. 15 cookies when put together, 22 using my smallest scooper), so when you double this, don't double the filling. It's more than enough ...trust me if you don't want to go into a sugar shock!!! lol A thin layer is plenty sweet. Thought this was useful to know, so ingredients aren't wasted. Also, when applying the filling especially when you get anxious like me, it's easier to do it while the cookie is on a flat surface instead of trying to hold it in your hand or raised. The cookie will break in half. 10 min. was perfect baking time. It helps to refrigerate for a little while to ensure cookies aren't flat, but definitely flatten w/fork. While it does flatten, to get that perfect cookie as pictured, it requires you to flatten a little. Using ingredients that are room temperature helps w/the overall consistency of the final product. These were a hit, and people are always amazed these were baked not bought!
Too rich. My husband and I were not a fan at all. Won't be making again.

I made these without the filling, and they're delicious as a stand-alone cookie! Super quick and easy, too. The trick is to avoid the temptation to over-bake them, because they don't LOOK done when they come out of the oven, but they set up nicely as they cool. I make mine slightly bigger than the recipe says and bake for exactly 10 minutes, and let them cool four or five minutes before removing them from the sheet. This is my new favorite.
This is my go-to cookie for showing off. I dip mine in chocolate also when they're done. Who doesn't love the peanut butter-chocolate combo? Over a double boiler over
medium low heat melt three 4 oz bars of ghiradelli
semi-sweet chocolate, or 12 oz of semisweet chocolate
chips along with about 3-4 tbsp of crisco. Dip the cookies into the chocolate. I usually dip just one side. Sometimes I
dip the whole top of the cookie. You could try the
whole cookie in chocolate, but thats pretty indulgent.
Anyway, once dipped, set the cookies on wax paper. I
do this on the cookies sheets. Then I put a whole
sheet of freshly dipped cookies in the freezer. This
sets the chocolate. (You can also add sprinkles to the dipped cookies directly after dipping...I shake mine on.)
These were great. However, I modified them the second time I made them. They were a bit too greasy and crumbly and the filling was too thin and I so next time I will make these ingredient and measurement modifications:
4 tablespoons margarine, softened;
1 cup packed light brown sugar;
½ teaspoon baking soda;
½ teaspoon salt;
¾ cup peanut butter;
¼ milk;
1 egg;
1 teaspoon vanilla extract;
3 cups quick cooking oats (whir regular rolled oats in food processor if you don't have quick cooking oats);
½ cup flour.
1 tablespoon butter, softened;
1 cup confectioners' sugar;
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter; and
2 ½ tablespoons milk.
For a less crumbly, chewier cookie, I've replaced the butter with margarine and decreased the amount. I increased the brown sugar and omitted the white sugar. I also increased the amount of oats and omitted the baking powder. I used a melon baller to scoop batter onto baking sheet to create the perfect size cookie. :)
HOLY COW ARE THESE GOOD! One of the best cookies I have ever had. I am not sure why (maybe handling of butter) but my cookies did not turn out thin like some of the pictures. Mine puffed up so much that I had to slam them on the counter to deflat them a bit. All of my ingredients were room temp. and I used old fashioned oats (they make a chewier texture) and I used dark brown suger (when gives a little more richness), I also added vanilla extract to both the cookie and the filling. All of these conditions added up to one of the best cookies I've ever had let alone baked myself.
Love this recipe!!! Instead of making sandwhichs with them, I place a soild circle of chocolate in the middle just before slipping then into the oven. For a bite of peanut butter and chocolate everytime. They are so good I can't keep them away from the anyone!!
Everyone loved these. They are different than your ordinary pb cookie. My 2nd batch came out too crispy so next time I will go with 8-9 minutes and chill my dough. I cut down a little bit on the sugars. I didn't have heavy cream so I sub. cream cheese & used less powdered sugar. Delicious! I also only had old fashioned oats but I don't think you can tell the difference. Thanks for sharing!

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers.

The Internet of Things is in the early stages of mainstream deployment but it promises to unlock value and rapidly transform how organizations manage, operationalize, and monetize their assets. IoT is a complex structure of hardware, sensors, applications, analytics and devices that need to be able to communicate geographically and across all functions.

Air Force officials announced June 27 that Fort Bliss, Texas, was chosen as the preferred alternative for the Security Forces Ground Combat Training Center while Camp Guernsey, Wyo. is a reasonable alternative.
If selected as the final basing choice, Fort Bliss will host a training center, offering training courses for approximately 8,500 students per year.
The Headquarters Air Force Security Forces Center conducted a 2010 study to determine a more efficient method of training security forces. The study concluded consolidation of existing training locations would improve quality of training, increase economies of scale and further improve consistency.
Consolidating Security Forces Regional Training Centers will allow Security Forces to be more responsive to combatant commands and increase security forces training to adapt quickly to emerging enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures.
With the consolidation, regional training locations at Creech Air Force Base, Nev.; Fort Wolters, Texas; Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, N.J. and Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., will close. At this time, the Air Force expects the ground combat readiness training at those locations to transfer to Fort Bliss no later than October 2014.
Overseas regional training center locations will remain in place and not be considered for consolidation in this strategic basing action. Additionally, Camp Guernsey, Wyo., one of the existing regional training centers, which specializes in Security Forces Nuclear Training, will continue to be the center for Nuclear Training Excellence.
Site survey teams evaluated the candidate bases for feasibility, timing, cost, and planning purposes to meet initial operational capability requirements. The Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force carefully considered the site survey results and other military judgment factors in choosing Fort Bliss as the preferred alternative.
"The selection of Fort Bliss as the preferred alternative is the result of a deliberate, enterprise-wide assessment," said Timothy Bridges, deputy assistant secretary for Installations. "This consolidation will ensure standardized career field training of varying capabilities operated under centralized control and execution."
The final basing decision will be made after the completion of the Environmental Impact Analysis Process, currently scheduled for this summer.

Does it seem weird that the dolphins have been in the top 5 in pass D (avg./gm) for the AFC 4 out of the last 5 years ?
Does it seem weird that the dolphins have been in the top 5 in pass D (avg./gm) for the AFC 4 out of the last 5 years ?
What the Hell? I thought this was a "passing league"
I believe there is going to be some talented cap cuts coming available cheap, and we do have some cash to spend. I could see a safety, maybe a vet LB for depth, and a young DT if one comes available.
Wel, the defence looks pretty good on paper. Now they need to actually execute out on the field. We need to improve our pass rush which is why they drafted Jordan. He has potential but he still needs to go out there and do it in the games. If the pass rush can be consisten then the rest of the defence will be much better for it.
Ozzy rules!!
DT is important for next year with Starks and Soliai both potential high priced FA's. We may well lose both, leaving only Odrick, and a need in the rotation for 2 players. Rookie DT's are seldom ready their first year. I can see this on Irelands shopping list.
There are still people out there that think our most solid Safety is no good???? That made me laugh

Exposure Factors: Ingestion Factors
Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition (PDF, 1436 pp, 22MB, About PDF)
Search the
Exposure Factor
Exposure factors are factors related to human behavior and characteristics that help determine an individual's exposure to an agent. These factors can include, for example, rates of ingestion (e.g., foods, soil, water) or inhalation, factors affecting dermal exposure (e.g., skin surface area, soil-to-skin adherence), activity factors (e.g., time spent indoors, time spent showering, etc.), or other factor (e.g., body weight, consumer products use).
The main sources of exposure factors data are EPA's Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition (U.S. EPA, 2011a) and Highlights of the Exposure Factors Handbook (U.S. EPA, 2011b). In 2008, EPA published a Child-Specific Exposure Factors Handbook (CSEFH) (U.S. EPA, 2008) and Highlights of the Child-Specific Exposure Factors Handbook (U.S. EPA, 2009) to consolidate data relevant for assessing childhood exposures. However, the Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition supersedes the CSEFH. The 1997 edition of the Exposure Factors Handbook (U.S. EPA, 1997) is available at: http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=12464.
Both the Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition and the CSEFH provide statistical information for factors used in assessing exposure among various demographic groups of the population. Information is provided on intake of water and selected liquids; non-dietary ingestion factors; ingestion of soil and dust; inhalation rates; dermal exposure factors; ingestion of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, fats, fish, shellfish, grains, home-produced foods, total dietary intake, and human milk; activity factors; consumer products; and building characteristics. The Handbook does not include chemical-specific data or information on physiological parameters that may be needed for exposure assessments involving physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.
Information from the Exposure Factors Handbook: 2011 Edition and data and resources used in developing the recommendations provided in the Handbook may be accessed using the button links below or there is a summary of the recommended values in spreadsheet format. It is important to note that these recommendations are not legally binding on any U.S. EPA program and should be interpreted as suggestions that program offices or individual exposure assessors can consider and modify as needed. And finally, a selected number of tables from the handbook are now available from the EPA-Expo-Box's Exposure Factor Tables Search. These tables were selected because they contain distributional information that may be suitable for probabilistic analyses.
There are similar efforts in other countries that provide data on exposure factors. For example, The European Union developed the ExpoFacts database which contains data from 30 European countries. Likewise, Japan have developed the Japanese Exposure Factors Handbook and Australia have developed the Australian Exposure Factor Guide (87 pp, 4.45MB, About PDF) ; these resources provide data specific to each country's population.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

For years, it has been accepted wisdom that comprehensive immigration reform won't happen. All Democrats want is amnesty for the 11 million illegal aliens already here. At the top of the Republican wish list is border security. No middle ground is possible.
But Washington politicians can read election results. Hispanics are already the largest minority and still the fastest growing, and they overwhelmingly voted for President Obama. So this week a group of four Democratic senators and four Republican ones announced they had worked out the details of a proposal. There would be a "path to citizenship," but only after border security has been guaranteed.
Many Republicans responded favorably, despite predictions from the conservative faction that there would be the same result as there was in the last reform – amnesty happened, but the promised border security didn't, so the problem got worse. The fact that conservative tea party favorite Marco Rubio was one of the "gang of eight" made even fierce reform foe Rush Limbaugh give a respectful hearing to the idea.
Many remain skeptical that a deal will actually happen. But no matter how this turns out, the pundits say it will be a win for Obama and a loss for Republicans. If a comprehensive deal is defeated, Republicans will get the blame. If one passes, Obama will get the credit, but the GOP won't get many Hispanic votes out of the deal.

Recently, paleontologists uncovered the world's oldest fossilized footprints. Found in the Arabian Desert, these tracks proved that prehistoric elephants travelled in herds. The Science Center had the opportunity to interview Dr. Brian Kraatz, one of the researchers on the project to get his perspective.
How do trackways become so well preserved? Don't other animals follow in these paths as well?
Whether tracks get preserved as fossils depends on what happens to the sediments after the animals walked through them. In our case, they walked through a mud plain, which likely dried into a hard surface shortly thereafter. They may have been buried by more sediments shortly thereafter, which kept them safe from erosional process. They were probably re-rexposed sometimes in the last 10,000 years.
What was the Mleisa 1 site like when these creatures were alive? Did it still look like a desert?
It wasn't a desert. Along with the elephant ancestors that made the tracks, we know there were many other animals (e.g., giraffes, crocodiles, fish, ostriches, etc.) that lived in a large river system that was present there around 7 million years ago.
How do you think aerial photography and hi-res satellite data will influence the way we dig for fossils in the future? Will we begin relying more on Google Maps as a tool for paleontology?
We already rely heavily on Google earth and aerial photography. Geologic maps can tell us what types of rocks are present in an area, but satellite imagery tells us where there are exposed rocks from which fossils might be weathering out. We often do a lot of preliminary reconnaissance via Google Earth before we go into the field.
Prehistoric elephants and mastodons lived here in Florida, too, but why doesn't it seem like we find their footprints as often as the researchers in the UAE?
The preservation of fossil footprints is rare, and preservation like we describe in the United Arab Emirates, which included an entire herd of elephants, has never been reported before.
When did you become interested in paleontology, and how did you decide to follow that into a career?
I'm in the minority in that I was never interested in fossils growing up. I started college as an art and english major, but ended up doing a degree in Geology as I liked the challenges of trying to understand past events. After college, I volunteered at a large Natural History museum, and was fortunate enough to work with a paleontologists who mentored me and got me started working on fossils from Mongolia. After that, I was hooked, and went on to receive an MS and PhD in paleontology.

Kim Workman: My first experience with restorative justice
I have often wondered what restorative justice practitioners would have thought of the process. While much of what happened was culturally appropriate, it may well have been unacceptable in a western setting. The victim, as far as I could determine, did not seem to be traumatised by sharing her story and innermost feelings with the community - nor was she subsequently stigmatised by the villagers as a victim of incest. The penalty was quite severe, and yet at the end of the process, there was provision for reconciliation and full community restoration.

Big Freedia Lays Out The Basics Of Bounce
Originally published on Tue January 29, 2013 11:29 am
Born out of New Orleans club culture, bounce music isn't just best experienced in person — it's almost impossible to understand in the abstract. But Big Freedia (pronounced "free-duh"), one of the style's biggest stars, says the music does have a few defining features.
Bounce is based in hip-hop. It favors punchy tempos, heavy bass and call-and-response vocals. Many of the songs are structured around a handful of samples, most notably a snippet from "Drag Rap," a 1986 track by the New York rap group The Showboys.
"We use those beats in a lot of our music," Freedia says. "We know how to flip it a million and one ways — and the producers, they know what to do with it to make the crowd jump."
That's another thing: Bounce is party music, hypersexual and made to be danced to. (The more your butt is moving, the better). Freedia says that's why the lyrics are usually kept simple: "You've gotta leave room for the bass and the boom and the knock," she says, "and for people to be able to just free themselves and express themselves through dance."
Big Freedia is the stage name of Freddie Ross, a New Orleans native who, in the late 1990s, helped usher in a wave of openly queer bounce performers. Today, she's one of the few bounce artists with national exposure, and her profile is about to get bigger: a documentary about her life, a dance instruction DVD and her first proper full-length album are all in the pipeline. To hear her conversation with NPR's Robert Smith, click the audio link on this page.

Stop and visit the participants. They are amazing.
I am the youngest, and also the cutest one.
definitely the cutest. Lol. I love your mosaic and I love old pictures
I'd love to build a mosaic but I don't know how yet!
Yours is great and yes, you are the cutest!
Oh Lori, this is SO cute... you really WERE adorable.
Love the Santa shot!
Old pictures are so wonderful - what a great mosaic! Kudos!
Wonderful Mosaic! just simply adorable!! :)
What a cool idea for a mosaic! This would look great blown up and framed. And I knew before you told us, that you would be the cutest!! :-)
I just love old black and white photos. Of course, you are the cutest! I think my favorite is the one of your mom (?) feeding the chickens! What a cute shot. Kathy
I am the youngest of 4 girls and most definitely, if you ask me, the cutest, LOL..
I too love your mom with the chickens..Great mosaic, Lori!
very sweet!
Aw, how sweet! Love the one of your mom with the chickens. She's dressed so beautifully -- it seems that even tending the livestock was done in style back then... or maybe she is just posing with them? Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your memories at Mosaic Monday. :)

Fire in the Blood
An intricate tale of medicine, monopoly and malice, this documentary tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries of the global south in the years after 1996 - causing ten million or more unnecessary deaths - and the improbable group of people who decided to fight back. Shot on four continents and including contributions from global figures such as Bill Clinton, Desmond Tutu and Joseph Stiglitz, this film is the never-before-told true story of the remarkable coalition which came together to stop 'the crime of the century' and save millions of lives in the process.
