At Osage Cottage, we've recreated that feeling you got when you stepped inside Grandma's house. A charming old four-bedroom, two-bath brick home in Caroline County, VA, this vacation getaway is comfortable and inviting with sunny rooms, big braided rugs on hardwood floors, and lots of cozy spots to read, chat and relax. But hibernation is hardly this vacation rental's only appeal. You can commune with nature on Osage Cottage's four beautiful acres, plus adjoining Spring Grove Farm has 117 acres of fields and forest for hiking and horseback riding.
My two sisters and I take a vacation together every year, this is our 29th year. This year we waited a little longer to make a reservation, our plans were to visit northern Virginia, and we couldn't find a reasonable home to rent in that area. So I started looking further south and found the perfect location. We have stayed in several different types of rentals; homes, cottages, condos, cabins, bed & breakfasts and even motel efficiencies. This lovely home is at the top of our list! All the amenities and then some, nothing was lacking nor missing. The rooms are all very open, light and uncluttered. The yard is welcoming to stroll about. The sun porch is wonderful to sit over morning coffee and watch the birds. We love to try new recipes on each other and the kitchen is well equipped for any cooking needs.
This home sits in a lovely country setting and you feel secluded from the hectic traffic of Fredericksburg and I95 when actually you are only about 10 minutes from grocery stores and several shopping areas along Route 1. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction and needed to visit the emergency room and this too is only 10 minutes away and I was seen immediately.
I would recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for a beautiful country setting in which to relax and enjoy the lovely surrounding countryside and still be minutes away from great shopping and wonderful restaurants along with many historical sights to visit in the Fredericksburg area.
The owners are a lovely couple who we met and greatly enjoyed talking with. When you arrive there are fresh cookies waiting for you, you feel like your visiting old friends!
Our family spent 3 nights at The Osage Cottage for Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is absolutely perfect and Melinda even had fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and iced tea ready for us when we arrived! There were 5 adults and 1 toddler in our group and it seemed like the cottage was designed just for us. It was nice having 2 bedrooms/1 bath upstairs and the other 2 bedrooms/1 bath downstairs. Our little guy liked the kids bedroom even more than his own room. The cottage has every supply you could possibly need! We had breakfast in the sunroom each morning and spent the late afternoons hanging out in the backyard fighting over who got the hammock next. Melinda even put a baby pool out so our little guy could cool off and splash around in the water. We walked over to the barn one afternoon and met Donald. He was so personable and he introduced us to their beautiful horse, Dexter, and gave us a tour of the barn. We went to Historic Fredericksburg one day and had a wonderful time. There is so much to see and do! However, the best part of the trip for all us was coming back to the cottage and just hanging out. Our family has met up at several vacation homes in the past, but The Osage Cottage is our favorite by far!!! Thanks Melinda and Donald for a perfect weekend!!!
We stayed here in September 2011, as a family of 5, and found everything to be superb. The welcome from Melinda was fantastic and her hospitality first class. We all had a great time and would happily return to this home. The location is excellent and very private - perfect for a relaxing getaway and sightseeing.
Photos of this home cannot do it justice it was very comfortable and more than met our expectations.
The property was extremely clean and well equipped for all eventualities and Melinda's additional touches made it feel like home.
We would all highly recommend the cottage.
Thanks again Melinda!
This lovely cottage in the gorgeous Carolina County countryside far exceeded its description - and our expectations! We arrived hoping to provide a homestyle Christmas for our USMC son and happily found the owners, with well known Southern hospitality, way ahead of us. The vintage cottage, beautifully renovated without losing any of its charm, was neat as a pin and decorated top to bottom, inside and out, for the holidays - even a Christmas tree awaiting us in the livingroom!
The bedrooms were decorated in period holiday style and equipped with wonderfully comfortable beds and sumptuous downy or quilted bedclothes. Baths were spotlessly clean, full of luxurious linens, and so completely filled with every bath necessity, I could have left all but my makeup bag at home! A neat, excellently equipped, laundry area (absolute must for a large family!) was off the upstairs bath nearest the children's rooms - perfect!
The full country kitchen was just what was needed for our family's Christmastime meals/baking and, once again, the owners went above and beyond providing anything extra we might need. Our traditional Dickens-style Christmas dinner went off without a hitch!
The children of our family had a marvelous time exploring the countryside, playing in the snow, watching movies on the large screen tv, and visiting the many historical sites and memorials all around us - including a family favorite, Colonial Williamsburg. The owners provided games, toys and children's dvd's in the bedrooms and we found outdoor toys and play equipment in storage bins outside.
Our two week stay went by much to fast, but, thanks to the gracious hospitality and thoughtfulness of the owners of Osage Cottage, we gave our son (now far away overseas) exactly what he wished for - a homestyle Christmas with his family, delivered to Virginia. Truly, it was the best Christmas ever!
Osage Cottage is 15 miles from Historic Downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia, 14 miles from Main Gate at Fort A. P. Hill near Bowling Green, Virginia, and 7 miles from I-95 convenient midway point between Richmond, VA and Washington, DC. 27 miles from Meadow Event Park, home of the State Fair of Virginia. Convenient to Lake Anna, wine tours, golf, equine events, antiquing, and sightseeing. Along Virginia Civil War Trails, one mile from Stonewall Jackson Shrine, part of The Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park and along United States Bicycle Route 1.

API fills a roll that no other organizations can. I only wish there were an API support group within the reach of every single parent. It is critical to educate regarding evidence based parenting in this current culture. Raising children with secure attachments and empathic hearts is essential to the future of man kind.
Great support for parents who wish to parent peacefully and with respect. They have amazing online resources and local support groups.
Exceptional resource and support network without borders! Families all around the world continue to turn to API as a resource. Thank you!
API has been a strong influence in my parenting. It has offered me guidance in areas that were unknown territory for me. API makes me feel normal :-).
API has helped me finding my empowerement as a father, and for that I'm extremely grateful!
Attachment Parenting International is responsible for my own empowerment as a father, It was through AP that I managed to find myself as an attached father and to nurture strong and secure attachment with my son. I couldn't be any more grateful than I am right now.
I love API so much that I became a support group leader this year! It's a fantastic organization that provids parenting resources for free. I cannot recommend it enough.
I have been involved with API for many years. My local group was an invaluable source of support when I was a new mom, as I learned to follow my instincts and parent in a connected and compassionate way. When I saw how much the group was needed in our community, I became an API support group leader, and eventually started volunteering with the international organization as well. API serves an absolutely vital role in parent education and support, and has done so much good not only in my small community, but worldwide. I truly believe that API's work is helping to make the world a better place--right now and for generations to come.
More Feedback
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Attachment Parenting International is one of the most compassionate positive parenting organizations out there. And then when I began volunteering, and now it's been 7 years of volunteering, API is all about working together as a community where everyone's talents are used and everyone's ideas are taken into account. While there is great leadership, it doesn't feel like a hierarchy-type organization -- everyone is encouraged to chime in and do what they can, and the leadership is really about leading by serving. I feel like I'm really making a difference in the world.

API gave me the confidence to trust my instincts by providing access to quality resources and meaningful support. I was inspired to become an accredited leader so that I could offer other parents in my community an opportunity to join this wonderful community. API has given me the chance to make difference in the lives of families who believe, as I do, in the power of compassionate parenting. API is unique in the scope and quality of the research and evidence-based approaches they promote so that parents can fully invest in the relationship with their children as the profoundly important and impactful experience that it is. The mission of API is realized every day by the dedicated volunteers who work to spread its message of peace through parenting, and donors can be confident that donations go to making a tangible impact on the lives of families looking for support in their choices to respect, love, and respond with attentive empathy to their children. I am proud to volunteer with API and feel so grateful for this organization; it has truly changed my life and the lives of my family members who are the recipients of the qualities of patience and empathy that I have learned through API.

I have been involved with a local API support group since my first child was a year old, first as a parent coming to meetings and play groups and finding a peer group for me and my children. This brought me out of my isolation as a stay-at-home mother and provided many opportunities to give and receive support. My local group was a safe haven where I could parent the way that felt right to me and I knew that, even if the parents in the group didn't do everything the same way, we would all be respectful of each other's choices. API's Eight Parenting Principles provides a great structure to the group, focusing on the most important needs that children have, but leaving how to meet those needs up to the people who know those children the best - their parents. My two kids have grown into caring, responsible teenagers, and now I run my own API group. My involvement with API has given me great confidence, both as a parent and as a leader.

AbstractIn this work, we propose to capitalize on our experience with controls, synthetic jet actuation, low order system modeling, and fluid dynamics in order to develop an integrated approach to hingeless flight control. We propose to develop a novel,distributed, hybrid and reconfigurable, synthetic jet actuator that will be capable, via real-time distributed sensing and actuator parameter control, of both separation manipulation (reduction, elimination or promotion) and aerodynamic virtual shaping.Next we will generate reduced-order aerodynamic models. Subsequently we will close the loop by integrating adaptive robust real time feedback-control methodologies. The first planform used to develop and demonstrate the new techniques will be a NACA-0015wing simulating dynamic maneuvering, allowing free pitch and plunge. Ultimately, the new technology will be demonstrated on full scale UAV's for real life applications. Aeroprobe and the Texas A&M Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of the Aerospace EngineeringDepartment has had several years of extensive experience with actuator development steady and dynamic wind-tunnel testing and controls. The work proposed herein represents an ambitious venture that has never been demonstrated before. However, the excellentresearch record of the key personnel and the previously developed infrastructure and expertise, guarantees the success of this effort.

German regulatory authorities approved Celtura®, Novartis' cell culture-based monovalent vaccine against pandemic influenza A (H1N1). The MF59® adjuvanted, inactivated flu virus vaccine is indicated for active immunization of adults and children over the age of six months.
Novartis confirmed that it is also pursuing Celtura registration in other major countries including Japan and Switzerland. The cell-culture technology used to produce the viral antigen components was previously licensed in Europe for the production of its seasonal flu vaccine, Optaflu®.
"Our modern cell culture technology can enable a faster start-up of vaccine manufacturing, offering the ability to respond more quickly to future pandemic threats," states Andrin Oswald, CEO of Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics. "We quickly ramped up capacity at our licensed cell culture facility in Marburg, Germany, to respond to the need for pandemic vaccine."
Novartis says that it is also close to completing its second cell culture-based influenza manufacturing site in the U.S., which is being constructed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Novartis' egg-based pandemic vaccine, Fluvirin® A (H1N1) was approved by the FDA in mid September. Additionally, Focetria® A (H1N1), an egg-based monovalent vaccine, was approved in Europe by the EMEA during late September. Both vaccines have already started shipping.

About this Artist
Julia Contacessi
"When you capture the light just right, so that it dances across a wash of color, you create layers of depth and beauty. Combine that with the intimacy of close-up imagery, and you've captured a moment in time. My style is single-mindedly focused on the subject. My goal is to drown out the noise and clutter to find a sense of calm through light. The end result is clean, fresh, and modern."
Contacessi's process is an exploration in deconstructing and then rebuilding form and composition. She is influenced by Mark Rothko and embraces the notion that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. She also seeks to find beauty in the contrasting nature of things, much like artist Patricia Larsen.
Contacessi starts her work with a set color palette. Working with one medium-size brush, she often applies paint directly from the tube and blends it on the canvas with large sweeping brushstrokes. Occasionally, she incorporates fabric and other media into her work to build up contrast and texture.
A second-generation artist, Contacessi 's love of art was nurtured from an early age. In 1996, she moved to Brooklyn to study art full-time at Pratt Institute. After four years of intensive study, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and graduated with honors. After graduation, she began working full-time as an art director while focusing on painting and photography in her personal work.

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) launched its official CTA Facebook page and Twitter account (@CTA), which will be available to customers at transitchicago.com/social. The popular social media tools will be used to provide customers with timely service information, agency, and system news and photos as well as serve as a channel for the agency to engage in a conversation with its customers. Also launching is the CTA Budget Ideas Board — an online feedback forum for the proposed 2012 budget — and the new CTA Updates, a subscription text/email service for customers to receive alerts on any unplanned events affecting service. "We've long kept up with what people are saying about CTA on blogs and on Twitter, but haven't been a part of that conversation until now," said CTA President Forrest Claypool. "These social media tools help bridge the gap in communication between the CTA and customers. Customers now have the means to receive timely service information for any unplanned events and the agency now has the means to clarify what's really happening and to address any issues or concerns that are 'trending' across our system."
To receive timely information on any unplanned events affecting bus and rail service, customers will now have the option to sign up for the new CTA Updates, a subscription text/email service. Similar to the existing weekend and weekly planned service alerts subscription service, customer also will be able to customize when they receive alerts on unplanned service disruptions for the bus and/or rail routes they select. Customers can sign up for alerts regarding planned or unplanned events affecting service at transitchicago.com/updates. Further, CTA also will use its new social media presence to supplement service alert information on weekdays during major incidents and will provide additional information to what is delivered through CTA Updates.
Customers should not depend exclusively on social media for official service alerts and updates as these are not supported by personnel 24/7 but be sure to sign up for CTA Updates. As always, customers can also check the alerts section of the CTA website (transitchicago.com/alerts) or call the customer service line. "We understand it's important that our customers are informed and we want them to know that we're listening," Claypool said. "It's our hope that through these new online tools that we are able to gain a better picture of who our customers and also join in a conversation about what's working and what's not." For feedback on the proposed 2012 CTA Budget or to submit ideas on ways the CTA can further improve efficiency, performance or reduce costs, customers are asked to visit the new Budget Ideas Board at ctabudget.ideascale.com. The online forum allows customers to post their own ideas, which other visitors can comment and/or vote on by giving the idea either a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, with the best ideas appearing at the top of the forum.
The American Occupational Therapy Association's plan helps families identify signs that older drivers may become unsafe and makes suggestions to help seniors maintain mobility, such as using paratransit services and reduced transit fare programs.

The city's Access-A-Ride, which already has nearly 400 MV-1s in service, is a shared-ride, door-to-door service for people unable to use public buses and subways.

The last six inches of the digestive tract is the rectum and anus. You are more likely to develop rectal cancer if you have a history of polyps (abnormal tissue growths) in your colon or a family history of hereditary polyps or colorectal cancer. Other risk factors include age over 40, previous colorectal cancer, or cancer of the ovaries, breast, or lining of the uterus (endometrium). Symptoms of rectal cancer can include a change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation, rectal bleeding, stomachache, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about rectal cancer, what increases risk, how it's treated, and much more.

State Farm offering Valley jobs to hundreds
PHOENIX — State Farm Insurance will be holding a career fair on June 11 and June 12 to fill 900 positions.
Both part-time and full-time positions are available and the company will be looking for employees of all backgrounds. A representative said an insurance background is not necessary to apply and
employees will be able to move up within the company.
"It is much more important that people have some customer service type experience," State Farm's Robert Villegas said. "It is absolutely critical that they're outgoing people who have some communication skills and are going to be able to enjoy that work as they interact with the customers."
The career fair is being held at the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton at 320 N. 44th St., near Sky Harbor Airport. Villegas said those planning to attend should bring a resume and apply online.

In order to provide their customers with the best odds for establishing a successful and reputable online gambling business, Viaden Gaming has made sure its offering is in line with the best business practices in the industry. Their Online and Mobile Casino, Online and Social Poker and Sportsbook follow all the latest industry trends. Their most popular product, online casino, features games with fantastic graphics, with 40 new titles added to the suite every year. All the games are easily integrated into third party systems, thereby enabling operators to choose only what suits their particular needs.
In addition, Viaden Gaming's turnkey solution is fully flexible, allowing for customizable, tailored product to be made. The company uses its own API (Application Programming Interface), enabling third party remote access to all Viaden software functionality. In addition, the company's White Label offering is there for operators who are just starting their own business but still want to benefit from experienced professionals' services in terms of software development, support, payments, hosting, licensing, risks and network management, so that they can fully focus on promoting their brand in the best possible way.
Finally, their latest product, Viaden Mobile, is a true embodiment of what this company is capable of delivering. It is set to be available to iPhone/iPod Touch, iPad and Android users, and although it focuses on casino offering, it also features various side applications that will keep the users interested and entertained.
First of all, it's worth noting that Viaden Gaming's dedication to quality and responsible gaming is quite obvious at first sight. This software company's website is not only informative, but also educational in terms of fairness and security, thus proving how important these two areas of the business are to Viaden. The developer also prides itself on holding a number of certificates that serve as evidence of its quality – first of all, the company uses a certified RNG, the software has been audited by Gaming Labs International (GLI), TST and iTech Labs, and it also holds certificates from the AGCC and RGA.
Having all this in mind, it's a pity that not more operators opt for Viaden Gaming, but considering its youth and quality, it is certain that there's no other way Viaden can move except forward.

Collection: UNT Theses and Dissertations
Challenge the Silence
Date: August 2012
Creator: Peterson, Erica
Description: This collection of personal essays about incest, abuse, and depression explores the lasting effects of an invisible childhood. The essays follow the protagonist from the age of five to her early twenties. Her brother, at a young age, becomes sexually abusive of her and her sisters, and her parents fail to protect their daughters. The family is divided as the older girls strive to defend their little sisters, while their parents attempt to excuse their son. When her brother is finally sent away, the protagonist is left to salvage what remains of her relationships with her parents.

A Chorus of Trees
Date: August 2010
Creator: Lyons, Renée Kathleen
Description: This two-part thesis includes a critical preface and a collection of my poems. Using three poems-Louise Glück's "Lullaby," Bob Hicok's "Poem for My Mother's Hysterectomy," and Nick Flynn's "Memento Mori"-the critical preface examines how, in poetry, the transformation of a body negotiates trauma and triggers a conceptual shift, the creation and revision of identity, and the release of the duende's inspirational force. The collection of poetry that follows seeks to transfigure the body as a way to explore the nuanced traumas of human experience.

Claremont Connections
Date: August 2004
Creator: Elerson, Crystal L.
Description: Claremont Connections is a collection of fictional short stories about the relationships between the generations of women in one family and their friends.
Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
Date: August 2009
Creator: Bauge, Jessica M.
Description: Clutch is the title of the creative portion of my thesis as well as the name of my theory 'clutch' which I outline in the preface section. The purpose of the clutch theory is to recognize modes of inspiration in the body, heart and mind so that the poet can consciously move beyond passive receptivity to engage inspiration more fully. Mechanically, to "clutch" does not mean to create inspiration, but it is the opportunistic, spirited encouragement of these moments of inspiration and, more importantly, the direction of the artist's own response in moving from inspiration to creation. The clutch process unfolds through three centers: body, heart and mind, where we initially encounter inspiration. And, through a discussion of three notable poets' work, Henri Cole, Li-Young Lee and T.S. Eliot, the relationship between a completed work and clutch as a process further explains the boundaries of each mode.

The Concept of Dignity in the Early Science Fiction Novels of Kurt Vonnegut.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Dye, Scott Allen
Description: Kurt Vonnegut's early science fiction novels depict societies and characters that, as in the real world, have become callous and downtrodden. These works use supercomputers, aliens, and space travel, often in a comical manner, to demonstrate that the future, unless people change their concepts of humanity, will not be the paradise of advanced technology and human harmony that some may expect. In fact, Vonnegut suggests that the human condition may gradually worsen if people continue to look further and further into the universe for happiness and purpose. To Vonnegut, the key to happiness is dignity, and this key is to be found within ourselves, not without.

A Country With No Name
Date: May 2004
Creator: Hunziker, April
Description: A Country With No Name is a collection of thirty-four poems with a preface explaining the style and influences of the author. The preface defends plain-language techniques in poetry, using W.H. Auden, Wislawa Szymborska, and Paul Simon as examples of poets who take a similar approach. The poems range in topic from personal and familial to societal and abstract. The main subjects encompass interpersonal relationships, romantic and otherwise, and larger concerns, such as the effects of war and modern lifestyles.

Dead Fox Run: A Collection of Stories
Date: May 2011
Creator: Starz, Andrew
Description: This collection consists of a critical preface and five linked short stories. The preface analyzes the usage of violence in literate and other forms of media, and specifically the ways in which literature can address violence without aggrandizing or stylizing it. The stories explore this idea through the lens of the lives of two young men, following them from boyhood marked by violence to adulthood crushed by the trauma of the American Civil War. Collection includes the stories "Dead Foxes," "Cow Pen," "Fatherless," "Woodsmoke," and "Brotherhood."
Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
Derivation: Excerpts From a Novel
Date: August 2015
Creator: Davis, Matthew
Description: The dissertation consists of a critical preface and excerpts from the novel Derivation. The preface details how the novel Derivation explores the tension between the artist and the academy in the university, as well as the role memory plays in the construction of fictional narratives. The preface also details how narrative voice is used to expand the scope of Derivation, and ends with a discussion of masculine tropes in the novel. Derivation traces the path of a woman trying to rebuild her life in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, returning first to her blue collar roots before pursuing a career as an academic.

Divine and the Everyday Devil (Short Stories)
Date: May 2003
Creator: Burks, T. Stephen
Description: Divine and the Everyday Devil contains a scholarly preface that discusses the experiences and literary works that influenced the author's writing with special attention in regards to spirituality and sexuality. The preface is followed by six original short stories. "Evil" is a work addressing a modern conception of evil. "Eschatology" concerns a man facing his own mortality. "The Gospel of Peter" tells the story of a husband grappling with his wife's religious beliefs. "The Mechanics of Projects" relates the experiences of a woman looking for love in Mexico. "The Rocky Normal Show" involves a husband growing apart from his wife and "Mutant: An Origin Story" is about a teenager trying to find his own unique identity.
Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
A Drop of Oil
Date: May 2005
Creator: Bullman, Carol
Description: Many Christian writers point to God through their fiction without openly evangelizing. The images their words evoke lift their secular and religious readers' heads, for God is reflected in their use of language, the emotions they describe, and the actions of their characters. The preface and short stories in this collection aim to show that God's presence can be felt even when people are suffering due to human decisions and mistakes. He is with His creations in the midst of their pain to impart hope when they need it most.

Gamification, Games, and Learning: What Managers and Practitioners Need to Know
August 8, 2013
Gamification is about applying game elements and game mechanics to non-game activities to make these activities more compelling. This report discusses common definitions of games and gamification and shows how game design techniques and game elements such as stories, points, and challenges can achieve needed learning outcomes. You'll learn how game mechanics and game elements work in learning and explore good practices for designing stories, characters, leaderboards, points, levels, and challenges through concrete examples—such as how Adobe uses gamification to increase both training and usage of their Photoshop software.
In this report, Brenda Enders examines research showing the valuable results that can be achieved with games and gamification. For example, Traci Sitzmann's meta-analysis shows that training presented in the context of certain types of games led to measurably higher skills and knowledge. And B.J. Fogg, who directs the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford University, has found that people tend to respond to computers as if they are people, especially during gaming, an encouraging note for the design of good learning interactions.
This report examines games and gamification and shows, via numerous examples, how game mechanics and game elements such as stories, points, and challenges can achieve significant learning outcomes.

After waiting four years to drive the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer, we finally got our chance to review it from behind the wheel earlier this year. Every auto writer is familiar with salivating over the chance to drive a vehicle that has stirred them from the moment they saw a picture of it, then being crushed when the drive turns out to be terrible - and this includes $300,000-plus hand-built supercars, too. The Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer was the antidote to that, going well beyond th

Singer, those folks that build awesome sports cars that take the shape of old Porsche 911s, has unveiled a slew of new options for its rear-engined classics at Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival, an annual event held ahead of this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The ritzy event saw a custom Singer Racing Blue 911 appear, sporting a 360-horsepower, 3.8-liter flat-six.

In terms of dress code, "black tie" events are rather ritzy affairs. For men, that means a black jacket (sans tails), a black bowtie and a white dress shirt. Chevrolet, though, has fitted a black tie to the automotive equivalent of a tuxedo t-shirt – the Silverado pickup. The Detroit-based manufacturer is swapping out the gold bowtie badge of its bread-and-butter pickup for a black item, as part of a pair of new styling packages known as the Rally 1 and Rally 2 Editions.

Everyone liked it :)
This was pretty good. I didn't rate it with stars because I don't cook my hamburger helper like the box says and I did this recipe the same as I do with my box stuff. This was better than the box stuff by far. I did add a little Lawrys season salt. My way of seperating the ingredients and cooking them probably makes the outcome different. I do mine like Hamburger Helper My Way explains.
This was easy to make with simple ingredients most people hav around. I thought it was a little lacking in flavor until I realized I had forgotten the garlic powder. The addition of it really did make a difference. I also added just a little pinch of red pepper just because my family likes things a little on the spicy side.
This was not only easy to make but tastes great! The addition of cream cheese makes this nice and creamy versus pastey. I will definately be making this again for sure! Thanks so much for posting MissMia!

text: Hello! I'm trying to play pokemon again but it's hard making teams so I'm asking you guys to help. It's probably just a (bit too) standard Drought team but I'm sure there can be little improvements here and there that can make life easier on the ladder. I'll give you guys the run-down here. @ Life Orb Trait: Drought EVs: 116 Spd / 252 SAtk / 140 HP Timid Nature - Fire Blast - Sunny Day - SolarBeam - Will-O-Wisp Sunny Day Ninetales which is the coolest Ninetales set ever. Enough speed to beat the other weather starters, barring Choice Scarf. I think I should replace Will-O-Wisp with Hidden Power Ground or something but I don't know. Ninetales is often my switch-in to Politoed, as counter productive as that sounds. I usually don't lose the weather war if that's something I can brag about. @ Focus Sash Trait: Justified EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Taunt - Stealth Rock The only pokemon I lead with. Always gets Stealth Rock down, always can get a Taunt off to hinder Stealth Rock. He's a good dude. Unfortunately he's usually KOed by the third turn of the match, but he does his job real well! @ Life Orb Trait: Chlorophyll EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Modest Nature - Growth - Giga Drain - Sludge Bomb - Hidden Power [Ground] Venusaur is my back-up sweeper if Volcarona doesn't have an opportunity to set up. The problem I have is that he's super priority weak and can't really fuck up Scizor, Forretress, and Ferrothorn because I'm running Hidden Power Ground. But if I don't run that then I'm completely walled by Heatran. So not sure if there's a better set that would give more coverage or if I should switch to Sawsbuck or something. @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 184 Spd / 252 Atk / 72 HP Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Bullet Seed - Rock Tomb - Mach Punch I know, I know, "you should run Spore." I really don't want to. I can just bluff Spore and run Swords Dance, it's great. Also I'm running Rock Tomb because fuck: Volcarona Dragonite EVs might be a little wonky, I did enough speed to outpace 252 Tyranitar I think. In retrospect I don't know if that actually helps anything since I'm going to be Mach Punching Tyranitar. Should I switch the EVs to something more bulky like 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd? I'd lose to other Brelooms more often then and I'd have less of a chance against Scizor. @ Life Orb Trait: Flame Body EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Modest Nature - Quiver Dance - Fiery Dance - Bug Buzz - Hidden Power [Rock] Volcarona!! This guy is my favorite. I think I should probably be running a Timid nature but the analysis that I probably didn't look at might have suggested Modest. Or a better set. I like how this guy works so far, I am still really walled by Terrakion but if I don't run Rock then I can't hit the flying Dragon-types and still get neutral damage on Heatran. I had the bulky chestorest set here earlier but I hate Heatran and I switched to this more offensive variant, it's been working out decently. The issue is that even Bullet Punch and Mach Punch do about 20-30% on a hit, which kind of limits the amount of time I can sweep. @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Impish Nature - Earthquake - Ice Shard - Rapid Spin - Seed Bomb Elephant! He's here to spin, deal damage to Dragonite, and generally be a nice dude. I think I should probably run Roar instead of Seed Bomb, but Seed Bomb has been useful against Rotom-W in the sun. Roar would make it so set-up sweepers have more of a hassle I guess. Anyway I'll just list some of the threats I've noticed to my team: Scizor Volcarona Dragonite w/o Donphan around and it's hard for me to keep momentum with a sweep due to poor coverage, but maybe I'm just trying to sweep to early or something. Anyway thanks for the rates (if you choose to do so!)
