CU's Webb, Lewis charged with assault in brawl
BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado quarterback Jordan Webb and former Buffaloes offensive lineman Alexander Lewis were both charged with second-degree assault on Wednesday after prosecutors alleged they knocked a man unconscious in a weekend brawl.
Lewis, who announced Friday that he plans to transfer to Nebraska, also was charged with two counts of misdemeanor harassment.
Police say 22-year-old Lee Bussey was knocked unconscious during a fight with Lewis and Webb near the university that started after Lewis bumped into Bussey at 3 a.m. Saturday. Bussey was disoriented and bleeding from his head when they found him seated, leaning against a garbage bin in an alley, according to a police report.
Lewis' attorney, Donald Brenner, initially said that Bussey accosted Lewis, possibly because Lewis was wearing Cornhuskers attire, but now says Lewis wasn't wearing any Nebraska gear. He said Lewis' status with Nebraska is up in the air and will depend on the outcome of the court case.
Lewis and Webb each faced the judge separately during the hearing.
After the hearing, Brenner wouldn't comment directly about whether Lewis was defending himself during the fight.
"Certainly, he wasn't the aggressor," Brenner said.
Webb's attorney didn't speak after the hearing and neither did Lewis nor Webb.
Witnesses reported that Lewis and Bussey argued at first, and Lewis said Bussey threw a punch at him and missed. According to the police report, Lewis later allegedly shoved Bussey's head into a brick wall, and both Lewis and Webb allegedly pushed him to the ground and punched him.
Police said Lewis said he and Webb had been bar hopping in Denver to celebrate a friend's graduation before running into Bussey. According to the report, Lewis, who is 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, estimated that he had six glasses of wine, 10 beers and six shots.
Bussey, who is 5-11 and 185 pounds, was taken to Boulder Community Hospital and received stitches but had no memory of the incident.
Webb's attorney, Lou Rubino, said this week that the quarterback's role in the altercation was "non-criminal."
Webb was Colorado's starting quarterback for most of last season, throwing for 1,434 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. The fifth-year senior tore his ACL during spring practice but is hoping to return by late September.
Lewis, a sophomore, was the starting left guard for the 1-11 Buffaloes.
First-year Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre has said that Webb, 21, would be disciplined "according to team rules" if he is found responsible for any misconduct. MacIntyre said it would be up to Nebraska to decide what discipline the 21-year-old Lewis might face.
Webb and Lewis are due back in court June 3 for a hearing on whether the case should proceed to trial.

In the beta version of Chrome on the Mac Backspace is not working as 'back' as in virtually any other browser. It just does nothing. Is there a way to activate that or is that a known but still unresolved bug?
It really is a bug. See this issue in their bug tracker.
The mac version of Google Chrome is a Developer Preview i think. So there are many bugs and many issues to fix to get it on par with the windows version.
I can tell you that in the current version of Chrome on windows the Backspace works fine (I never knew about that binding, by the way). So I'd assume this is just a bug in the beta.
Maybe you should better use Cmd-[ and Cmd-] to navigate back and forward. This also works in other browsers and in, for example, Finder.
(While awaiting the bug fix, and if Cmd-[ and Cmd-] are too difficult on localised keyboards: Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right might work in Chrome as well. These don't work in Finder though. And see Can I seize control of Cmd-Left in OSX? here on Super User, or Disable Firefox's Command-Arrows page jump shortcuts on macosxhints.com for an annoying issue in Firefox for Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right, which may unexpectedly take you to the previous page while editing! Likewise, using Delete may cause problems in other situations. So one may actually want to disable Cmd-Left, Cmd-Right and Delete to work for navigation, like described for Firefox in those links.)
(As a side note, a Mac does not really have a Backspace key.)
I use the gestures with Chrome and those seem to work. Use three fingers and swipe to the left. This will take you back to the last page. Obviously doesn't work well with a mouse, but nice that the Chrome team has it implemented.
An extension for Chrome that brings back Backspace-Keybinding for history navigation (at least on Linux)
Using backspace as a back button is stupid, especially on a Mac where it's a delete key. A fix for this is:
The Linux version of Chromium has the same issue, but you can always use Alt+⇦ to go back and Alt+⇨ to move forward in the navigation history.

I currently purchased a wordpress template that features a blog template. I love how the single posts is designed, because it features the image/video, accompanying text, date and the number of comments.
But I HATE now the main blog page is designed. It only features the picture or video of the posts, and hides the accompanying text.
Is there any way that I can use the same design template of the single posts and apply it to the main blog page featuring other posts, along with the appropriate "read more" link?
Any help is appreciated.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- One group of fraternity brothers took "summer trip" to a whole new level.
They biked across the country -- all in support of those suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
"None of us had really biked before, so we bought our bikes for this trip," said Seth Haga, who was one of the bikers this year.
They went from not owning bikes to biking from California to Washington D.C.
"We went through the desert. It was hot. We were tired. We were new to biking. We were getting whipped into shape pretty good, because none of us trained the way we should have," Haga said.
The 12 Phi Gamma Delta fraternity brothers were pedaling not only to complete an extreme ride, but to raise $100,000 for Alzheimer's disease research.
"My grandfather was affected by Alzheimer's. He suffered from it for five years before passing away in 2009. I started this event in his memory -- to honor him -- and what an inspiration he was to me," said Tyler Jury, the Bike4Alz founder.
That first year, six riders raised $56,000.
The second Bike4Alz event raised $65,000.
However, it's about more than raising money.
At fundraising events along the way, riders meet people facing the disease.
"I've met with people and talked with people just hearing how terrible of a disease Alzheimer's is," Haga said.
Jury said he saw the disease change his grandfather's character and knows the struggles first hand.
"We want people to know how big of a deal it is -- how much it affects people, how much it hurts people -- and just be raising money for the awareness," Haga said.
The group went on the journey knowing they were fighting a disease while fighting many physical challenges of their own -- not giving up when it got difficult.
"Reminding yourself who you're doing it for and the stories you've heard of people affected by Alzheimer's, and especially for me, just looking down, thinking about my grandfather, that's enough motivation to never stop pedaling," Jury said.
For using their summer break to help those suffering from Alzheimer's diseases, we honor the Bike4Alz group as this week's Hometown Hero.
This third ride ended when they arrived back in Bowling Green last month after beginning in May.

The only thing that I could find that coincides with this sell-off in Ciena (also similar for CSCO, JNPR, JDSU, etc.) was VMWare's announcement of earnings on Monday after the close. Terrible guidance knocked the stock down over 20% on Tuesday morning. That coincides with CIEN's abrupt sell-off starting the same time. Obviously, not a competitor but maybe their forecast of weak corporate spending is an influence here?
Does anyone see anything else that might help explain this drop? Better hope JDUS has a decent report after the market closes today or it will likely get worse.
Sentiment: Buy
first acme packet then Dell M&a buyout in a week?
dell biggest m&a in many years,
buyout speculation is ramping....
JDSU beats number handily.
looking like "game on" for ciena
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This stock is massively manipulated by corrupt hedge funds--They use their large buying power to either buy puts or sell calls into fear of earnings reports for other tech stocks--eventhough Ciena isn't on the same quarter cycle. A few bogus planted rumors also helps.--Then they sell the stock short and run through the unadvised sell stops picking up stock along the way. After they have sold the stock down to a certain level they close out by selling the puts and buy back the calls all in profit zones. Also close out the short position by buying the stock. Would absolutely love to see a merger announcement right in the middle of this manipulation by these miscreants...
well said inportlandd.
I too would love to see these hedgies crushed with a buyout announcement. However these same hoars will help us on the way up. We just need positive news from Ciena.
and I have a feeling thats just what the Q1 earnings release will bring.

A lot of us in the Panhandle probably had forgotten about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth - a group of men who in 2004 managed to help blow Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's candidacy out of the water.
They contended that Kerry's Vietnam War record was bogus, that he didn't actually deserve the Silver Star and the Purple Hearts pinned to his chest for his service as a Navy officer commanding a swift boat unit in South Vietnam.
Kerry lost the 2004 election narrowly and has returned to the U.S. Senate to serve the residents of Massachusetts.
The past is past, right?
Well, not exactly.
Now comes former Amarillo oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens - who helped bankroll the Swift Boat Veterans' ad campaign against Kerry. Pickens has entered this fray by offering to pay $1 million to anyone who can disprove the allegations that the Swift Boat Vets leveled against Kerry.
Who was Pickens' first taker? Why, none other than the distinguished senator, Kerry, himself.
Kerry has agreed to meet Pickens in Dallas - where the oilman now lives - and prove, by golly, that he actually earned the medals in Vietnam.
This all seems like a waste of time and energy. Indeed, this attempt to disprove the Swift Boat Veterans is reminiscent of another argument that just won't go away: Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in President Kennedy's assassination?
Whether the senator has been defamed matters little at this point in history. His allies wince now that he never defended himself vigorously when the charges came forward in the summer of 2004. His foes surely will find an endless array of those who will dispute whatever findings Kerry produces to prove his point.
Let it rest, gentlemen.

With the SEC's most anticipated games already released, we move on to the ACC.
While the whole season is highly anticipated, here at FBSchedules.com we are going a little more in depth. In this seven-part series, you'll get ten of the most anticipated games from each conference, plus the most anticipated out-of-conference games.
With the addition of Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame — sort of, anyway — the ACC has improved it's conference athletically. Pitt and Syracuse look to adapt to ACC play as we count down our most anticipated games of the 2013 ACC schedule.
Florida State Seminoles at Pittsburgh Panthers
Monday, Sept. 2, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN
I think this might end up being one of the best games of the ACC season when all is said and done. Pittsburgh will definitely be prepared for their debut game in the ACC against a team like Florida State. Opening weekend, favored team on the road, on Monday? I'm all for Monday night college football.
Virginia Tech Hokies at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Thursday, Sept. 26, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Virginia Tech should be a viable contender in the Atlantic division this year with Logan Thomas at the helm, and these Thursday night prime-time games always play a big role in who represents the division in Charlotte. The Yellow Jackets opened in Lane Stadium last year, and lost by 3. Paul Johnson will be trying to beat the Hokies for the first time since '09. Look for this to be a slug fest.
Clemson Tigers at Syracuse Orange
Saturday, Oct. 5, Time/TV TBA
This game is obvious. Is the newcomer going to compete for the division title right off the bat, or will it take them a few years to get up to the level of the ACC elite? Having Clemson away from home should help, though I'm assuming Clemson's athletes will just thrive on turf.
Miami Hurricanes at North Carolina Tar Heels
Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
North Carolina is in the same "never been to the ACC title game" boat that Miami is sailing. If either one wants to make a push this year, this one could decide who breaks the barrier.
Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers
Saturday, Oct. 19, Time/TV TBA
You missed a great game if you didn't watch this one last year. Florida State prevailed, but Clemson gave them everything they had. Howard's Rock — what's left of it anyway — should fuel the Tigers in the should be Atlantic Division championship game.
Miami Hurricanes at Florida State Seminoles
Saturday, Nov. 2, Time/TV TBA
There is a lot of hype behind these two teams coming into the year, and a lot of it is on the offensive side of the ball. Jameis Winston for the Noles' and the entire offense for the Hurricanes are all the buzz in Florida. The last time the 'Canes visited Tallahassee they only lost by 4; they know they can compete with the 'Noles. This one should be high scoring, as long as both quarterbacks play like they have shown.
Virginia Tech Hokies at Miami Hurricanes
Saturday, Nov. 9, Time/TV TBA
Miami is trying to become the first team other than Virginia Tech or Georgia Tech to represent the Coastal division since the ACC Championship was created. They'll have to match last year's effort in which they bested the Hokies in Miami.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Clemson Tigers
Thursday, Nov. 14, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
With Clemson playing in an environment like Death Valley, you would expect them to get a few more prime time games. This cross-divisional match up gives you that. Again, Paul Johnson will have his Yellow Jackets in the mix, and Tajh Boyd and company will have national title hopes. There's more riding on this game than meets the eye.
Pittsburgh Panthers at Syracuse Orange
Saturday, Nov. 23, Time/TV TBA
Newcomers to a conference always means anticipation. These two teams have a history, the most recent chapter being a one point win in the Carrier Dome for the Orange last year. Let's take the roof off and add some snow. That's good football.
Miami Hurricanes at Pittsburgh Panthers
Friday, Nov. 29, Time TBA, ABC/ESPN/2
Once again, we have a newcomer coming in against a team that should be at the top of the ACC standings. Though the Syracuse-Clemson match-up puts a former conference champion against a newcomer under the new format, Miami is better athletically than almost any team that Pitt played in the Big East. Pittsburgh was lucky enough to get Florida State and Miami at home, that's not a big gig.
Honorable Mentions

Too bad the Miami game with Florida cannot be listed because it is not an actual conference game. This is a pretty good list of best conference games. Not sure FSU at Pitt is a good matchup as much as an interesting matchup since it is Pitt's first ACC game though. Miami at UNC will go a long way in deciding who will play Clemson or FSU it ACC title game…probably.
Pitt will almost surely lose by double digits.
You might as well have had the Title "Ten ways to watch paint dry", because the only important matchup is FSU at Clemson. FSU and Miami used to be a big matchup, but as far as Title hopes, this game hasn't been important since the 2000 season. We might see a 1 loss Clemson or FSU team not playing for the ACC Championship, and possibly an 8-4 team play instead. The ACC is and always will a Basketball Conference.
Too bad you don't know ACC footbal
I believe Syracuse and Pitt are going to demonstrate one more time that the level of play in the ACC is not very good and they will be dominant in their first year in the conference. Does anybody remember when West Virginia scores 70 against Clemson
That was in 2011!!!! Get up with the times. We beat LSU and Georgia in two consecutive games.
First, not that it matters, as the hokies will struggle to even be bowl-eligible this season, but Va Tech is in the Coastal division. Obviously, FSU v. Clemson is the most-anticipated game. Then, it would be FSU v. Miami, given that Miami is supposedly going to be a contender this season. We will see. UNC is an intriguing team, so the game between the Heels and the Canes might spur some anticipation. As usual, there are only two or three relevant teams in the entire conference. You might as well write about OOC games. There are definitely some that are highly anticipated.
Being a Clemson fan, I feel that a marque catchup that was left out, is Clemson at B
N.C. State. The woolpack beat Clemson soundly two years ago in Raleigh, and last year beat a number 3 seminoles team. They have the tendency to beat teams that by all rights they shouldn't. It will be interesting for sure
But that doesn't matter because FSU and Clemson will always be the Atlantic game that is looked forward too because the winner of that always goes to the ACC title game. No matter what team loses to N.C State. As a FSU fan I say that yes N.C State is a look out for team. But its no threat to at least a conference title game.
Stupid auto correct, you guys can tell what I meant
I bet y'all look crazy now cause FSU is UNDEFEATED
FSU going to the acc championship
Im a clemson die hard fan & i ride with my tiger .no matter who they play im pulling for my clemson tiger 4 life .

1995 Ford Contour Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
I bought the car used with 57,000 miles. The car now has over 129,000 and its been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. It's had few problems here and there but what car with that mileage doesn't? I've done all my own repairs and none have cost me over $200. It's never left me stranded, gets great gas mileage for a V6 and after all these years it still shines like new. I've never been big Ford fan until I owned this car. I highly recommend the Ford Contour.
Reliable engine.
Needs better cup holders, those things are ridiculous.
I bought the car in 2000 with only 30,000 miles on it and only one owner. 3 years later when it reached around 50,000 miles there have been nothing but issues. Transmission went out, all electrical has to be replaced, suspension replaced, constant alignments, $3,000 worth of work to fix a stalling issue. The list goes on. I will never own another contour again.
Seats are comfortable
We've had our Contour for almost 7 years. CARFAX says it was a rental before we bought it. Aside from replacing the alternator last year, we've never had to have major repair service done on it. Rear-ended twice by people going 20+ mph with no real damage. Nice power, turns great, comfortable, decently roomy in the back seat for a small car. Decent gas mileage for its weight and age. We are thinking of selling it (we want a Hybrid) and I will be sad to give it up.
Power! It beats our newer ('02) compact sedan for acceleration on a straight surface, and blows the '02 away on a hill. (Really. We've 'tested' this. ;) )
Bought it at 87K because the salesperson told me it was "Sport Edition" and can't be mistaken with its handling and ride quality. Yes tight handling and way too firm suspension, steering feel is just about as good as a BMW 3 series, interior and trunk space are ample compared to its compact size, nice folded backseat but should offer rear headrest and more rear leg room, road noise can be annoying especially on midwest pavement and jaw-breaking ride which leads to tons of rattles and sqeaks, engine is smooth and strong at highway speeds. Haven't had major reliability issues except once water pump blew up at 96K and minor repairs - right rear window motor and trunk release cable went and now happy at 110K.
All lighting package, leather-wrapped steering wheel, traction control, ABS, sunroof, tight suspension, faster than it looks, immaculate rust coat and paint job, V6 smoothness at highway speeds, reliability.
Dumb and flimsy cup holder (even though didn't use it often), better interior panel assembly, cheap plastic materials,softer suspension, less rubbery shifter, better fuel economy, rough acceleration at low speed (1st to 3rd gear over 2500rpm), seems to lose grip at bumpy corners.
Car at the dealer for repairs six times
in the first two years I owned it: EGR
valves (?), catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors, electrical system issues, and
other stuff I have forgotten. Last 5
years: electrical system shorted out
twice; check engine light on all the
time; right rear suspension link broke,
speedometer/odometer stopped working.
All that being said I LOVE this car.
The engine is powerful and fuel-
efficient, the car is loaded with
options and a joy to drive. Handling
(before suspension problem) was
incredible - like a European
performance sedan.
Engine, transmission, seats, moonroof.
Reliability, reliability, reliability,
and the stereo.

To make matters worse, it appears that this crime was a case of mistaken identity and John's attacker was after someone else who does not even work or attend the same gym. We have gathered that the attacker was under the impression that his estranged wife was romantically involved with another man, who he wrongfully thought was John. This information regarding some other man and his wife has not been confirmed true and the attacker has previously been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and drug addiction. He was also arrested only 1 week earlier for a similar violent incident in Miami. Of course all of this information was unknown to John and the HEW staff when the attacker entered the building.
While John is expected to make a full recovery, he will require multiple reconstructive surgeries to fix his cheek, eye, and nose, and will undoubtedly spend multiple months recovering before he is able to work again.
Please don't let John and his family bear this emotional and financial burden alone. Any donation would be greatly appreciated!

Former champion Chad Dawson snaps two-fight skid
Chad Dawson has endured a strange run in the ring recently and he hopes Saturday will be the first step on his road back.
Dawson, the former light heavyweight champion, stopped George Blades for a first-round knockout victory on the undercard of the Robert Guerrero-Yoshihiro Kamegai card at the Stub Hub Center.
Dawson (32-3) had suffered consecutive losses entering Saturday. He dropped to 168 to face Andre Ward in 2012 and handily defeated. Last June, he was knocked out by Adonis Stevenson.
"Being off a year, I felt good," Dawson said.
Dawson weighed in Friday at 182 pounds and entered the fight at 202 pounds. Despite that weight, he said he believes that he is still a light heavyweight.
"I relaxed, I'm still a boxing fan and I know what's going in the light heavyweight division," he said. "I was just excited to be back in the ring.
"I didn't think it was going to be this easy, but I'm not going to complain. I did what I had to with what I had in front of me and it is on to the next one."
2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazeale scored a third-round TKO victory over Devin Vargas to improve his record to 11-0.
On the early undercard, Fabian Maidana, the younger brother of Marcos Maidana, won his professional debut, defeating Eddie Diaz by unanimous decision in a four-round fight.

Dungeness Crab LbNA # 19476
|Placed Date
|Nov 27 2005

|Feb 9 2016
|Hike Distance
The northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula boasts vast numbers of Dungeness crab, the impressive Dungeness Spit, the townlet of Dungeness, and now also a little Dungeness letterbox.
If you wander down to Albert Haller's little county park and over to the modest boat launch, you will see the Old Oyster House. The new Dungeness lighthouse stands at the end of the big spit bearing 25 degrees, and the end of Cline Spit is visible at about 300 degrees.
Find the clam information center. Then face 285 degrees. 58 steps will bring you to the babe, and 31 more will take you to the herb. Just 37 steps further and you will come to the end of a large, slightly hollowed out beach log. At the western end of this log some small pieces of driftwood hide the opening to its semi-hollowed middle. Inside, the Dungeness crab is waiting to entertain visitors.
Please be discreet and re-hide the box carefully, as the beach log is in plain view. All compass readings are magnetic. There are ocean-view picnic tables and restrooms available at the park. Nearby you can find the amazing Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge, the reasonably tasty Three Crabs Restaurant, and many lavender farms which are worth a visit during the peak of the season, June through August. Please drop me a note if you find this box. Thanks!

The Miami Heat have the 27th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. If they want to stay amongst the NBA elite, they will have to add a few parts.
The Heat's biggest need is an athletic center. Chris Bosh is better as a power forward, and Udonis Haslem is better off the bench. A center who is strong defensively and can provide some offense is much needed.
In addition, the Heat would like to add a versatile wingman in the mold of Shane Battier. If they can get someone who can score, while also spelling LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, they'll be happy.
The 27th pick usually does not feature top talent, but there have been some good players taken in that slot.
Previous 27th picks include Dennis Rodman, John Salmons and Kendrick Perkins.
If the Heat can add either an athletic big man or a versatile swingman, it'll be a success.
We'll give you five bold selections the Heat can make to improve their team.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The driver of a stolen car killed in a St. Louis accident this week was a 14-year-old boy.
KMOV-TV (http://bit.ly/UoIwHc ) reports that two cars were stolen about the same time early Monday and police believe the crimes were related. In one case, a suspect approached a woman with a shotgun, stole her purse and keys and drove away with her 2010 Dodge Charger.
Around the same time, a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was stolen. Moments later, an officer in Dellwood spotted two cars matching the descriptions of the stolen vehicles. Both got away.
But hours later, officers came upon two accidents involving the stolen cars. Police say the Malibu slammed into a building in St. Louis, and 14-year-old Beion Womack was the driver. He was dead at the scene.

I got it straight from the B&N site so what is unsupported or wrong?
There are probably 2 dots in the filename. Because of that the Nook cannot recognize the ".EPUB" extension. Remove the first dot, so that only ".EPUB" is left.

As the days go by, more and more functions of my wordpress is dying.
First, my trackbacks and pingbacks won't work. Then it stopped pinging technorati and blo.gs (even though the ping address is still there in the Update Services box)
Then, my permalinks for my pages suddenly don't work any more (i.e when I create new pages, the permalink structure doesn't work any longer), even when my .htaccess file is CHMODded to 666
I get spammed by the hundreds even with Bad Behaviour on.
After that, WordPress doesn't even parse my linebreaks (i.e when I type, I press the Return key, it goes to the next line. I don't use the <Br> tags unless absolutely necessary.)
Then I cannot post comments in Opera 9 (erm, I think this is an Opera issue)
This cannot be a plugin issue, because I deactivated all plugins and still it happens.
Maybe I'll try to reinstall WordPress again.

Greater "High Balance" (see in TransUnion credit reports) = Higher FICO score?[ Edited ]
12-29-2012 01:59 AM - edited 12-29-2012 02:09 AM
Does having a greater lifetime "high balance" increase your FICO score? Again, I am talking about the largest balance you ever had on the card, whose transactions happened much earlier than the time where you would obtain this FICO score.
Personally, I would assume that having a greater "high balance" on your credit cards would help your credit score in the long run, as opposed to have many cards with $500 / $10,000 as your "highest balance." To me, having a $500, / $10,000 "highest balance" on most credit cards would make it seem like you just like applying for credit but that you don't actually use much of the credit you apply for, ultimately discouraging creditors from lending you futher credit when you do actually need it.
Anyone know the answer to how much this number affects your overall FICO credit score and/or how lenders view you?

can't wait to make..
Awesome!! :)
This was delicious, delicious, delicious!!!
This was so good. After freezing the filling and about an hour before serving I removed it from freezer and topped it with fresh whipped cream in place of cool whip. It was still slightly frozen but very good. The leftovers we are still eating and it is even better now as it has thawed & very creamy like a chocolate mousse. Here in NZ I used 'Nice' biscuits for the crust and cream in place of cool whip. Thanks for a lovely dessert that will become a firm favourite for me :)
This was very good. I used a 8 serving box of pudding and 3 2.1 oz butterfinger bars. I didn't put an graham crackers on top. This was delicious the worst thing about it was having to wait for it to freeze.
Absolutely awesome! If you love chocolate and butterfingers your going to love this dessert! I only used 1pkg of the pudding,only because I failed to read how many I needed before I went to the store but it didn't mess nothing up cause it turned out GREAT! We all loved it and I was asked for the recipe from our friends at the lake. I also dizzled some Hershey's Chocolate syrup over the top before I served it and used Breyers Chocolate ice cream. This is and will be a keeper for sure. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe Braunda!
This was very good. I crushed some extra butterfingers and stirred them in with the pudding/ice cream mix.
Yummy! I made this with sugar-free pudding & low fat milk, and no-sugar-added chocolate ice cream to keep the sugar content lower and it was fantastic!!! I don't think any taste was sacrificed by using low sugar items. The Butterfingers added a wonderful flavor. Next time I might used crushed Kit Kats or Andee's Mints for to try a different taste.
If you love butterfingers like I do this is a must. YUMMM! And so creamy! Thanks Braunda for a keeper ; )
Made this for Sunday dinner with friends-everyone loved it-how could they not!Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter? Will be making this a Keeper Recipe! Thank You, Braunda!

(AP) A top Iranian judiciary official has warned against the "destructive" cultural and social consequences of importing Barbie dolls and other Western toys.
Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi said in an official letter to Vice President Parviz Davoudi that the Western toys was a "danger" that needed to be stopped.
Iranian markets have been inundated with smuggled Western toys in recent years partly due to a dramatic rise in purchasing power as a result of huge increase in oil revenues.
In Monday's letter, Najafabadi called for a crackdown on the smuggling of these toys which threatened Iranian culture.

ATMORE, Ala. (AP) - A man condemned for the 1987 killing of his daughter's 16-year-old boyfriend in rural south Alabama has been executed by lethal injection.
Phillip Hallford was pronounced dead at 6:26 p.m. Central Standard Time on Thursday at Holman Prison. When asked if he had any final words, he said, "No."
Hallford spoke softly to the chaplain and guards for a few minutes as the lethal injection was administered, and then quietly slipped away.
The 63-year-old Hallford, accused of sexually abusing his 15-year-old daughter, was sentenced to die for forcing her to lure Eddie Shannon to an isolated area in Dale County, shooting him three times and throwing the body off a bridge.

A new government report says Kansas has one of the highest drunk-driving rates in the nation.
The study found that Kansas has the sixth-highest percentage of drivers who say they've driven under the influence - 21-percent of Kansans 18-years and older have driven drunk in the last year. The national rate is 15 percent. Missouri is also above the norm with 18 percent.
Wisconsin leads the nation with more than 25-percent saying they've driven drunk in the last year. Utah is the lowest with just under 10-percent.
The report on drunken driving relies on data obtained from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Prometheus (Earth-616)
this wiki
Prometheus is a member of the Titans, an extra-dimensional race of beings once worshipped by the people of Ancient Greece, closely related to the Olympian Gods.
Prometheus is a member of the Titans, the first generation of gods worshipped in Ancient Greece. The Titans were ousted from power by Zeus and the Olympians, but Prometheus was one of the few Titans who supported Zeus, who repaid the favor by giving him a portion of land in Greece to rule as king. Prometheus shared his power with his brother, Eprimetheus; in later myths, it was claimed they created the first humans. Prometheus was a great and beneficent king who cared for his subjects, and he stole fire from Olympus for mortal man. This act infuriated Zeus who decreed that Prometheus should be chained far to the east at the edge of the Greek world where an eagle would peck at his liver. Due to his immortal attributes, Prometheus would regain his liver regenerating itself. When Zeus threatened to flood the earth as revenge for mortals accepting fire, Prometheus warned his mortal son, Deucalion, to save his family in an ark.
Despite the flood, enough of mortal man survived and used fire to sacrifice to the gods. Though this pleased the gods, Zeus did not recant his punishment of Prometheus. Seven to eight generations later, Hercules, the then mortal son of Zeus, came to Prometheus for advice on how to deal with his brother, Atlas, who was imprisoned in Ancient Libya. Realizing the terror Prometheus was experiencing, Hercules freed Prometheus from his chains. According to myth, Prometheus was allowed to enter Olympus and become an advisor to Zeus.
Prometheus reportedly healed the centaur Chiron who had accidentally scratched himself with one of Hercules' arrows dipped in the venom of the Hydra. He became close friends of Hercules and in modern times, cured Hercules' insanity after the son of Zeus had been brutally assaulted by the Masters of Evil during a takeover of Avengers Mansion.
Powers and Abilities
Prometheus possesses the conventional attributes of an Olympian god, such as superhuman strength, resistance to injury, immunity to diseases, highly advanced regenerative factor that allows him to regrow lost limbs and organs and immortality. He also possesses the power to heal others. He is precognitive, able to see the future.

Albums that R Cool (Part 1)
Jun 20, 2012, 12:01:39 AM
My friend recently said to me, "hey, you have pretty interesting taste in music! what albums do you have?"
So, naturally, I was insanely flattered, because I TOO think that I have awesome tastes (but nobody else ever thinks so).
Anyway, blame her for encouraging my shameless and extensive explanation of the wonders of my album collection. I say 'album', but honestly, these are cds (some of which are burned, how lame). I do not own a functional record player (but I wish I did, that would be so cool!!!).
I pretty much like all the albums on this list. I get rid of the duds I accumulate (AHHH, I HATE WHEN I GET A DUD!).
List that you're likely not at all interested in
in alphabetical order
Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill
When did I discover this album?
2005 (as an eighth grader)
Who introduced me to this album?
My dad. He mentioned off handed one time that he thought I might like this album.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
As a kid, people always told me that I was an "outspoken young lady". They were right, I was/am. However, it was not until my youthful encounter with "Jagged Little Pill" that I recognized how cool it is to be strong willed.
Favorite song/track?
Track 2: You Oughta Know (since you're too selfish to respect/not-cheat-on me, I'm going to hunt down and torture you until you beg for death)
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Yeah, pretty much. It is a lot more mainstream than a lot of the weirdo stuff I listen to anymore, but that doesn't really mean much to me. In my eyes, it is a classic. Also, it got me through some pretty strange times (ohh the joys of puberty).
Avril Lavigne- Let Go
When did I discover this album?
2002 (as a fifth grader)
Who introduced me to this album?
the television (VH1, morning music video program).
What did/do I find so great about this album?
I remember the first time I ever saw Avril Lavigne. I was watching music videos with my dad. All of a sudden, "Complicated" was on the TV. I was completely in love the second I saw that really cool looking girl on the screen. She wore cool clothes, and she was having lots of fun. lol. Seriously, that was my goofy reasoning... Anyway, I thought Avril was some sort of goddess (come on guys, I was 11. cut me some slack here). I listened to this album OVER and OVER and OVER again. I played my first copy so many times that I killed my shiny, red radio. I listened to it soo much that I rendered the disc unplayable (but also, this had something to do with the fact that I was a little kid and wasn't so good at taking care of my possessions). I did chores and whatever else I could to earn a second copy- This CD meant THAT much to me, :-p
Favorite song/track?
Track 8: Anything but Ordinary. As a little girl, I found these lyrics so very deep and profound. The gist of the song is,
"hey, I wanna be weird, because that's who I am!"
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
No, not really. I keep it because it used to mean so much to me. It is an important piece of my life (in an odd way), and I will always remember it. Many of the songs, especially "Skater Boy", sound incredibly ridiculous to me anymore. However, a few of the songs, such as "Losing Grip" and "Mobile" are still pretty good in my opinion.
The Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill
When did I discover this album?
I never heard it's entirety until I got the album in 2003 (sixth grade), but I grew up hearing the hits on the radio.
Who introduced me to this album?
The radio (Q101.1).
What did/do I find so great about this album?
I found the Beastie Boys really entertaining. As a little kid, I obviously never understood most of the stuff they were rapping about, but the songs were funny and catchy. They never inspired me really, I just enjoy their music. Rap has really never been a great interest to me. I guess, I liked this rap, because I was sure that these guys were joking. Rappers typically seem like they're bragging (in my opinion). These guys did too, but... I heard their dorky voices, I knew they weren't real life 'players'.
Favorite song/track?
Track 9: Paul Revere. My favorite Beastie Boys lyrics ever, "YO, my name is MCA, I've got a license to kill, I think you know what time it is: it's time to get ill" They chose the name of their album wisely. You cannot say those lines without feeling like a bad ass.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
I guess. I don't take it seriously at all. It is silly, fun time music. It cracks me up, but I acknowledge that it was all well written by talented artists.
The Black Keys- El Camino
When did I discover this album?
2011 (at age twenty).
Who introduced me to this album?
This girl that I could not stand at work. That's weird; I know. It was Sunday (typically the slowest day of the week at our coffee shop). Jessica (this two faced hooker), was playing on her Iphone during the shift. She approached me and said, "hey, have you seen this music video?" I knew the answer would be no, because I am completely out of touch with popular music. Probably because I felt like a completely out-of-touch loser, I acted like I "wasn't sure", and watched the whole vid. The video was "Lonely Boy". It pretty much consists of a hilarious dance routine by a passion, middle aged dude. I thought it was HILARIOUS! His dancing reminded me of my father so much. When I got home, I searched the video. I watched it a dozen or so times. Eventually, the song was stuck in my head. I searched a few more of their songs (the beauty of the internet- now we don't have to invest in duds!). I liked what I heard, so I bought the album.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It isn't REVOLUTIONARY. To be honest, it's somewhat unimaginative. I like it because it is pleasant to listen to. It isn't experimental (at all). Basically, I am just shocked that I like a new album, as pathetic as that might sound.
Favorite song/track?
Track 4: Little Black Submarines (Operaaaaaator, please). By far the most interesting song on the album. I love the song's progression. This is the only song on the album that BLEW ME AWAY. Some of the others are good, some of them are just ok.
side note...
This is (by far) more recent of a find than any of the albums reviewed above. My views are more critical because of that. Had I found this album when I was younger, I'm sure I would have been more amazed by it.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
It is still relatively new to me, but for right now, I'd say that it will probably remain a decent album that I sorta enjoy. I am kind of interested in hearing their previous album, "Brothers", because I've been told that it is better. I'm glad I've heard it, but I wouldn't say I LOVE it.
Ciccone Youth- The Whitey Album
When did I discover this album?
As you will read below (if by the grace of God, you somehow make it that far), I am in love with Sonic Youth. For info about the origins of THAT, read about "Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation". I found this particular album in 2010 (senior year).
Who introduced me to this album?
The internet. (I was engine searching Sonic Youth, and came across this odd sounding album). I told my boyfriend how awesome it sounded, and the poor fool gave it to me as a Christmas present.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
I LOVEEEE the music video for "MacBeth" When searching this album on You Tube, I came across it, and it just blew me away. It's is just so artistic and meaningful. It expresses a way of thinking that (I feel) needs to be expressed more often. Idk, sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who really gets it... :-/
Favorite song/track?
Track 5: MacBeth. There are other good ones, but this is just my absolute favorite. So Sonic Youth-ie! There are a few, sort of awkward 80's pop-ish mixes on this album. I don't really enjoy all of them. I appreciate that these people are trying something kinda strange out (fusing their "noise rock" with "pop"), but I do not feel that it always works very well. There are a few songs that have less of the pop and more of the noise, and I really enjoy those ones. I feel like Sonic Youth perfected this pop experiment with "Goo". The Whitey Album helped them reach that message.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
I suppose. It is not their best work, but it is creative and interesting. I appreciate what Sonic Youth is attempting, and they later perfected it. I can respect that (obviously, these guys are my heros- how could I NOT respect that?).
Com Truise- Galactic Melts
When did I discover this album?
2012. (Honestly, about a week ago, age 20)
Who introduced me to this album?
My ex-boyfriend (boyfriend?). Not sure what to call the elusive, yet undeniably attractive male... ANYWAY! He and I were discussing my love for New Order, and he introduced me to this.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
Well, it's techno-ie, but not douch-ie and pretentious. I'm into video game music. This isn't heart felt music really. If I want heartfelt, I'll listen to something different. This is pretty much just... interesting, creative, and fun. I like the retro sound. I think it really sucks when people try to modernize techno.
Favorite song/track?
Track 5: Flightwave. This song makes me feel like I'm driving through some pixelated universe, far, far away. Or, maybe it isn't really far- it's just low resolution, so I don't recognize it.
Cyndi Lauper- She's So Unusual
When did I discover this album?
2005 (as an eighth grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
My sister really liked Cyndi Lauper when she was my age. For some reason, I used to think my older sister was really cool (Lord knows why). Anyway, I took the album and gave it a try. I really liked what I heard. When my sister saw me listening to the album all the way through, she laughed at me! She said, "Alyssa, that's just pop music! Who the heck listens to ALL the songs?" ...I do. And I love them!
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It is a goofy, quirky pop album. Beyond that however, it really is significant. I know that Cyndi Lauper is a pop star, and that her songs weren't really written by her, but i really don't care. Perhaps it's because I was introduced to her songs at such a young age, but I just love her, despite not having a good reason to do so! I love her sound, her voice is so odd (at times, a bit annoying, but unique). Obviously, her appearance is freaking awesome. I'm well aware that she is (at least to some extent), a packaged pop star, but I still love this silly little album.
Favorite song/track?
Track 6: All Through the Night. It's just so fun to sing along to.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Yeah, it's a fun one. It makes me so happy. :-p
DEVO- q:Are We Not Men? a:We Are DEVO!
When did I discover this album?
2004 (as a seventh grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
My cool cousin, Mike. At the time, I was pretty much only familiar with pop music. I was young, after all. I told my cousin (who is a musician/artist/whatever he wants to be, he's pretty cool) that I really liked weird rock music, and that I liked funny songs. He burned me quite a few albums that day, one of them was this one. This was the second of them that really I enjoyed.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It's awesome! Definitely weird and funny- Mike made the perfect selection for this weird middle schooler. Odd sound effects, goofy outfits, robotic emotions (seriously, what the heck are these guys?)
Favorite song/track?
Track 5: Mongoloid (an assembly line of mindless human machines)
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Definitely! It's risky and weird, but really, very successful. Successful in what way? Hmm, well... being noteworthy, politically/socially aware, yet still fun. That is no simple feat.
Evanescence- Fallen
When did I discover this album?
2003 (as a sixth grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
This older girl from Sunday School, Brittany. She was really cool (in my juvenile opinion). I thought of her as "a rock-and-roll-er" (that's seriously how I described her to my dad). Anyway, Brittany liked them (was obsessed with them), so I gave them a shot. I never got rid of the album, so I guess I didn't hate it (however I am really not into that whole "gothic rock" thing. I think it's boring.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
That Brittany liked it (just kidding, that's a really lame answer). Well, I enjoy Amy Lee's voice. She sounds creepy. This isn't music that I feel any connection to, but... i don't really know fully. I suppose, at this point, this album just reminds me of my youth. I hear these songs and remember a time when I thought they were really heavy rock. I don't think that was a stupid thing to think though. We base our opinions on our observations. I hadn't observed much musically yet. I will praise this album in at least one sense, even if it's kind of vague. I feel that it is successful. What I mean by that is- even now, when I listen to it, it seems significant. Their goal remains the same, throughout the album's entirety. I feel like the last track ends the album well. Really, that's more than most would expect from a pop-rock group; you gotta give them some credit for that.
Favorite song/track?
Not sure. Most of it sounds pretty similar.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
I didn't love it. I feel indifferent, however I respect it as a good, unique pop-rock album. There really aren't a lot of those.
The Foo Fighters- One by One
When did I discover this album?
2002 (as a fifth grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
My dad. He liked the Foo Fighters, so he got me the CD for my birthday.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
This was one of my first acquaintances with rock music (other than that on the radio). I really liked the rock guitar and the yelling. I found it interesting, because to me, this was all new ground. Prior to this, I'd pretty much only listened to pop music (it's what my friends liked. not that I'm a huge follower by nature, but as a kid... you just don't know any better sometimes)
Favorite song/track?
Track 8: Lonely as You. I LOVED David Grohl's harmonizing (just wait until I discover Nirvana...) I still love this song.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Yeah, I can't help but love it. Some of the songs are boring, but the ones that aren't are pretty darn cool. The Foo Fighters can be hit or miss, at least in my opinion. They have a few REALLY good songs, and a bunch of mediocre ones.
Free Kitten- Nice Ass
When did I discover this album?
I'd read about it briefly while idly web searching Kim Gordon (bassist/singer/cool chick from Sonic Youth) I was interested, since I love her, but not interested enough to pay a lot of money for some random CD online. I happened to see the album at a used CD store, a few months ago. I knew the name rang a bell, so I picked up the jewel case, to get a better look. I saw Kim Gordon, and immediately became entirely too excited about it. Bought the album for a whopping $0.99, and took it home. 2012 (Twenty years old).
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It is experimental (that is to be expected). I feel that it is honest, and there are good ideas, but overall, it just isn't executed so well. As a Kim fan, I always enjoy hearing her voice, but sometimes... the music that she is a part of is too much of a project or a concept piece. It is a message about... I'm not sure. It is deluded by how vague and confusing the album is. Disappointing. Basically, I keep it because it's such an oddity.
Favorite song/track?
Track 10: The Boasta. Love it! Angry, tough chicks. Should Kim Gordon have been a rapper? It's possible. I never take rap seriously, and I really get into this.
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Ehh, it isn't a total bust, but I wasn't impressed with it. I expect more from such big names.
Green Day- American Idiot
When did I discover this album?
2004 (as a seventh grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
My coolest cousin, Justin. He is a long time fan of Green Day. He got me into this album before the hype (honestly, I'm not trying to sound all hipstery. I'm more or less sharing it because I don't think that most people remember that this album was not famous AT ALL when it first came out. The CD store didn't even order copies of it. It wasn't until months after it's release that it became huge, little random and completely useless fact). Anyway, my cousin was a diehard fan, so I heard about the album right when it came out. I was a little kid, and it was more or less my first encounter with "punk rock". I was really into the album, I felt like it was really edgy and political. Also, I was just learning about politics, so their lyrics were really relevant and thought provoking to my young way of thinking.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
The whole album is one story! How cool is that? I STILL think that's cool. I love St. Jimmy. In my head, he's a little leprechaun man (ignore the part where he commits suicide; i don't want to think about it).
Favorite song/track?
Despite the fact that I do consider myself a Christian, Track 2: Jesus of Suburbia. I suppose that this song can be quite easily seen as an anti-religious song. In fact, I'm fairly confident that it might have been intended (at least minimally) as such. Still, I am religious, and I appreciate this song's message. It is about society and, generally, social consciousness. I think this message is VERY important, yet hard to stomach. Also, I love "Dearly Beloved". It's just so stinking catchy!
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Yeah, I had misplaced the album a while back. I found it at the library and was able to burn it. With older, more cultured ears, I still appreciated the message.
Green Day- Dookie
When did I discover this album?
2004 (as a seventh grader).
Who introduced me to this album?
Justin. When he discovered that I liked American Idiot, he gave me this album. He told me that it was his favorite when he was my age.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It's fun to listen to, the lyrics are very witty. Green Day has some excellent lyrics.
Favorite song/track?
Track 11: Coming Clean "I've found out what it takes to be a man, and mom and dad will never understand..." If those aren't the most relevant lyrics to an adolescent mindset, than I don't know what is!
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
You bet! It's a classic. All kids should grow up with such a fantastic album about being young and stupid. It makes youth seem more endearing to those who... well, perhaps do not otherwise find the experience all together a pleasant one.
Green Day- Insomniac
When did I discover this album?
Ehh, 2005-ish. I accumulated all of the Green Day albums over the course of a year. This was one of the last ones I found.
What did/do I find so great about this album?
This is a stupid analogy, but it's what I think. This is Dookie's grungy sister. Witty and youthful, but also... kinda pissed off. Love it.
Favorite song/track?
Track 1: Armatage Shanks. It is so important to start the album with a good song. Green Day did it right with this one!
Does this album still hold up, as when I first loved it?
Yeah, all of Green Day's albums run together in my head. I'm looking at a discography to remember which songs were on which CDs. But generally, yes, all of their songs (with a few exceptions) are still valuable and entertaining in my eyes.
Green Day- Kerplunk!
When did I discover this album?
What did/do I find so great about this album?
It is early Green Day! These songs are even more juvenile than the others! They're cute, I feel like they are very frank; I find that refreshing. I like to hear what the kids think. Even if the "kid" is now like forty years old. :-p
Favorite song/track?
Track 10: No One Knows. I pretty song, but it isn't cheesy. It's difficult to write such a simple slow song and not have it turn out sappy and ridiculous.

This was a fun project and is a good starter because you get to experiment with traditional piecing, applique, and FMQ (free motion quilting) all on a small project. The tops did go together rather quickly, so I followed the designer's advice and I did indeed make two! One for my guest room and the other a gift for mom who collects bee stuff. You can choose whatever fabrics you like, of course, but I liked the bright cheery yellow of the beehive for this wintertime project.

I have a really bizarre problem that has me totally stumped. I'm working with a client and she has a website that is powered by wordpress (running 2.9.2) with a fairly substantial number of posts but only a handful of pages. She hasn't had the need to create new pages until recently - and that is when we discovered that all new pages that get created throw a 404 error. Pages that already existed are fine and show up without any problems - it's just new ones. New posts also are showing up fine. It's just pages that are having the issue.
In an effort to troubleshoot this, I turned off all plugins, and removed any customizations in the htaccess - nothing here had any effect. We have the permalink setup as: /%category%/%postname%/ - changing this to anything else did not have any effect - except when I changed it to the DEFAULT (index.php?p=1234) setup. (That's great - but obviously for SEO reasons, we want to have a permalink structure)
And here is the weirdest part... I have a test site setup on another server... figured I'd copy the site over to play with on the test site - but when I moved it over, (and changed the settings to have it all point to the test site) - the problem didn't exist there. So maybe it's also a server config issue? (Both servers are running PHP 5 - but slightly different versions: 5.2.10 on the one with the issues, 5.2.13 on the test server.
Any help/suggestions of things to try would be greatly appreciated!!

I looked around but did not find that anyone has asked this before, but what are the fonts that are standard/recommended while writing academic reports/papers?
If there's no template, then the choice is yours. However, you should make sure to pick a font that's easy to read. The usual standards in academia tend to be the Times, Helvetica/Arial, and Computer Modern families. This doesn't restrict you from using fonts like Book Antiqua, Myriad Pro, Goudy Old Style, or Garamond, but they're definitely not standard.
For an academic paper each publisher journal have their standards. These do not affect or are affected by the manuscripts sent in to the journal. Some journals specify fonts, commonly standard Times Roman, for their manuscripts. If the journal specifies something, follow that specification. Otherwise use a font that is easy to read. There is no need to use anything but a standard font for whatever typesetting/word processor system.
As others have mentioned, the standard font varies, but is usually a serif font such as Times New Roman, although sans serif fonts such as Arial and Helvetica seem to be gaining traction as well. Their is major disagreement over which is easier to read--serif or sans serif fonts, with no clear consensus on the outcome. For example, see this paper.
Font size is typically twelve point. Follow the guidelines on this one, and make sure to keep your font consistent. Nothing is more likely to get you minus points than some obvious monkeying with the font size, whether to lengthen your manuscript (most commonly seen in undergrad papers) or to fit your text into the page limit (the rest of us!).
