The referee blows the whistle to signal the end of the game, and, in the end, that's a deserved 2-1 win for United. Thanks for joining us.
Cluj win a free-kick but it's in their own half and they haven't threatened at all in the last 15 minutes.
Rooney slides a gorgeous pass across the six-yard line but Hernandez can't quite get there. Think Gazza in '96 (almost).
Bastos does well to retain possession and he curls one out wide to Pinto. The Cluj move soon breaks down, though, and United have the ball back.
Hernandez thinks he's through but the referee's stopped the game. He wasn't offside - must've been for the challenge by RVP.
Anderson, Rooney, Anderson, Cleverley, Rafael, Ferdinand, Rafael, Anderson, Fletcher, Cleverley, Rooney, Evra, RVP, Anderson, Rafael, Rooney, Anderson. United keep the ball well during that move. I didn't anticipate them keeping it so well when I began the list.
Cluj are winning everything in the air and they do so again from the latest corner, but it comes to nothing this time.
Cadu wins the header from the corner and that's a good reflex save from David de Gea. Another corner.
Gabriel Muresan finds goalscorer Kapetanos with a low cross from the right but this time the striker fires it high over the bar.
Rooney is the focus of all United's supply lines and he tries the same trick with Hernandez this time. No goal on this occasion though.
GOAL! VAN PERSIE! Rooney chips a ball into the Cluj box and van Persie pokes a lovely, deft, left-foot finish into the corner. 2-1 Man Utd.
Rooney shoots from distance and he gets a corner out of it. RVP takes the flag kick and after a small game of head tennis it goes out for a goal kick.
Vuk Milicevic says: "Surely United need more width? Cluj is packing all their men down the middle. Possibly Nani on for Hernandez and put RvP and Rooney up top."
Ed Morgans says: "Better potential new defender signing for Manchester United - orange traffic cone, or vending machine you are trying to avoid?"
Sky Bet have boosted some prices at the break. Wayne Rooney to score next and United to win 2-1 is 10/1. Manchester United to win 3-1 is 11/2. Manchester United to win is 8/11. Fill your boots. I'm keeping quiet after preditcing a United clean sheet. Yes I have seen them play this season. I thought they might learn from their mistakes.
If you want to ask me anything about the game or life in general email email@example.com. We've 15 minutes to fill and I need to avoid that vending machine.
29 metres to be precise. Rooney goes for goal but it's got no pace on it and that's easy for the goalkeeper.
Rooney's corner is a deep one. It eventually breaks to Cleverley who falls over in the box and appeals for a penalty. The referee rightly ignores him.
Cleverley keeps United ticking in midfield and eventually the ball finds Rafael on the United right, but his cross is too deep.
RVP controls it on his left thigh well in the Cluj area and Felgueiras makes a good save to deny the Ducthman.
Very important for United to strike back before half-time and they've done it. They need to cut out the defensive lapses now.
GOAL! VAN PERSIE! Rooney curls in the free-kick and RVP shoulders it into the Cluj net. It loops over Mario Felgueiras and it's lucky, but United are level. 1-1.
Rooney fires one in low. Cluj clear. United aren't testing the Romanians yet, despite dominating possession.
Ivo Pinto runs the ball out of the Cluj defence well, but then undoes all his his good work by running into Rafael.
Sougou, who has been smacked in the face twice, is replaced by Luis Alberto. Poor Sougou. Alberto came on as sub for Cluj at the weekend and got a goal, his first goal for the club. Can lightning strike twice?
Evra clips Sougou with a strange challenge and the Cluj man is down again after taking a blow to the head.
Kapetanos is furious that he's not found by a teammate as Cluj find the gaps like Spurs did on Saturday.
GOAL! KAPETANOS! Sougou skips down the right and crosses one in for Pantelis Kapetanos who sidefoots it into the corner. Poor defending again from United. 1-0 Cluj.
Sougou takes one flush in the face from Anderson and is down. The ball hit him in the face if I didn't make it clear.
Rooney skips around a few challenges and rolls the ball into the path of Anderson who wastes the opportunity.
Tom Cleverley out to Hernandez on the left. The Mexican cuts in-field and curls a cross into the danger area, but Cluj deal with it without fuss.
Ferdinand blocks a cross and then Evans mops up with a clearing header. Rooney's attempted long ball on the counter is intercepted.
Hernandez tries to link up with Rooney but the latter's pass is too strong and Cluj clear their lines.
Manchester United get us under way in their all white strip, with Cluj clad in claret with white flecks.
John Owens has his crystal ball out. He says: "United to win 6-1. Rooney to control the midfield from the front. Hernandez for a hatter."
Roy in Peacehaven is a Brighton fan. He says: "Hi Ben.With RVP,Rooney and Hernandez all up front,i hope to see a big score,,,anything else is the end of even thinking about silverware, both in Europe or the UK. Fergie is panicing now with what side to put in. What was his words pre season,,he wouldnt rotate the squad as that cost him the title last year.Tonight is all guns. I can only see goals,but no silverware."
RVP, Rooney and Javier Hernandez playing suggests a 4-3-3 here for United here doesn't it? We'll soon find out. 15 minutes to kick-off.
Dav Singh says: "Interesting team selection by SAF! Reckon Utd should win with that quality on the pitch but a little concerned about the lack of width as there are no natural wide players starting for united!! C'mon you reds!"
Dan Thomason is also predicting a comfortable night for United: "I reckon 3-0 utd. Rooney n rvp should tear these apart."
B Cartwright says: "So this is the team that beat the team that knocked Utd out last campaign. The Red Devils will want to get straight back on the horse and Rooney will want his name back in the first XI. So I can see a dominant utd performance, I'll even stretch as far as 3-0 with Rooney, RVP and Valencia all on target."
Jamie Whitter is predicting a joyous night for RVP. He says: "Robin van persie hatrick 3-0 win utd!"
Gabriel Sutton is considerably more talkative than JS. He says: "This a game that Ferguson has to get the squad rotation right. He needs a quick reaction from his players after their poor first half display against Tottenham at the weekend but Man U seem to be out of reliable options at centre-back. If he introduces Anderson for this one that should inject them with a bit of energy but even then I can see Cluj making a good game of this. 3-2 to Man United."
Jordan Stenner is a man of few words but I like him because he agrees with me. He says: "3-0 Red Devils."
If I was forced into a bet I think I'd be on the 7/4 about Man Utd winning to nil. I know the Chuckle Brothers could have defended better than Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans on Saturday but Cluj are no Spurs and Fergie will demand a clean sheet tonight.
Talking of RVP, our best buddies at Sky Bet have boosted his first goalscorer odds to 4/1. Check out all of the odds for the game right here.
Welcome to live coverage of this Champions League clash between the Romanian champions and the English runners-up. It's Cluj v Man Utd, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie start up front together for the Red Devils and it promises to be a cracker.

The Beatles are the Apple of iTunes' eye
It's been almost two months since the Beatles' music became available on iTunes. In that short amount of time they hit a milestone this week: digital singles sales hit 5 million, while album sales surpassed 1 million copies.
Of the more than dozen titles available, "Abbey Road" is the top album seller and "Here Comes the Sun" is the most downloaded track, according to iTunes and the Beatles' label, EMI.

Longo, J.M.A. (2001) German Participation in the Aerothermodynamic Design of the Experimental Vehicle X-38. XII. Congress on Numerical Methods and their Applications, Cordoba (ar),30.10.-02.11.2001.
Full text not available from this repository.
The experimental vehicle X-38 is a technology demonstrator for the future Crew Rescue Vehicle of the International Space Station. The program, leads by the US space agency NASA, is the first cooperation for the design of a reusable space vehicle between NASA, the European Space Agency ESA and the German space agency DLR. The paper briefly describes the main objective of the program and its technological goals with emphasis on the German participation. Particularly, the work-methodology adopted by the three agencies to build up the aerodynamic database and to establish the aerothermal environments of the experimental vehicle is presented and discussed. It is shown that the selected functional-scheme successfully work and can be adopted for future transatlantic projects.

Ghana's women farmers resist the G7 plan to grab Africa's seeds
Heidi Chow
22nd May 2015Sharing and saving seed is a crucial part of traditional farming all over Africa, writes Heidi Chow. Maybe that's why governments, backed by multinational seed companies, are imposing oppressive seed laws that attack the continent's main food producers and open the way to industrial agribusiness.

War crime: NATO deliberately destroyed Libya's water infrastructure
Nafeez Ahmed
14th May 2015The military targeting of civilian infrastructure, especially of water supplies, is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions, writes Nafeez Ahmed.

Since then, the country's water infrastructure - and the suffering of its people - has only deteriorated further. more...
Only co-operative, trans-boundary conservation can save Africa's environment
Willem Daniel Lubbe
29th May 2015Africa's poor environmental record has its roots in colonialism, which cut artificial boundaries through peoples and ecosystems, and left a rigid 'fortress conservation' ethic, writes Willem Daniel Lubbe.

DIY: Homemade Yellow Cake Batter Mix
It has probably been five years since I've used box cake mixes with any sort of regularity. Back in the day, I would bake one up in a 9×13-inch pan and then proceed to slather a can of chocolate frosting over the top. I think I've made some serious kitchen strides since those days, but leave it to all of those popular "cake batter" recipes to keep me tethered to cake mixes. Between cake batter ice cream, fudge, pancakes, and the zillion other recipe variations, not to mention all of the dump cake recipes that I keep seeing, I can't seem to escape cake mixes. I haven't made many of those recipes, mostly because I have really made a conscious effort over the last couple of years to eliminate a large majority of overly processed products from my kitchen. Anything that I can make homemade, I do. That includes cake, of course, but what about all of those recipes that call for cake mix, straight from the box? I was left in a quandary, until I happened upon this recipe. Leave it to the people at America's Test Kitchens to come up with the answer. This quick, homemade mix is the perfect solution!
This mix takes literally minutes to throw together, and you can keep it in a zip-top bag in your freezer for up to 2 months. I am totally thrilled at the idea of never having to skip past a recipe because it calls for cake mix.
My plan is to use this mixture anytime a recipe calls for dry cake mix. If you're interested in using the mix to bake a cake, be sure to check out the link in the note below for instructions.
Look out cake batter recipes, here I come!

DIY: Homemade Yellow Cake Batter Mix
Yield: 5 cups cake mix
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
2 cups granulated sugar
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups cake flour
½ cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut in ½-inch cubes and cold
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the sugar, both flours, milk powder, baking powder and salt. Process for 15 seconds. Add the pieces of butter and lightly toss with a fork so they are coated with the flour mixture. Sprinkle the vanilla over the top. Pulse until the mixture is fine and crumbly, about 10 one-second pulses. Use immediately or store in an airtight bag or container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Note: For instructions on how to make an actual cake with this mix, please visit Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

Call me dense; maybe I skimmed the blog too quickly; but why not just make a cake from scratch, unless this is something you want to make ahead of time? It's a pretty cool idea, but I can't get the advantage of it . . . if I'm going to use it right away, why not just pull out the favorite "cake from scratch" recipe? I'm not being sassy or nasty, just dense . . . 🙂
I also don't own a food processor–would a good stand mixer work if I did try it?
The purpose of the recipe is not to make straight yellow cakes with the mix. Instead, this is for recipes that use "yellow box cake mix" as an ingredient–like cake mix cookies, cake batter flavored ice cream, dessert bars, etc. Many recipes call for "cake mix" with no clarification of a home-made substitute. So now you can truly use homemade, natural, less processed ingredients for each item in your recipes.
I hope this helps your confusion! =)
Thanks, Virginia! I was out of town for a couple of days, so just catching up. This does make sense to me now. In thinking about it, I was thinking about the "purity" of the cake mix over processed foods.
I appreciate your sharing your thoughts with me!
The purpose of this is that a lot of fun recipes floating around right now call for dry yellow cake mix from the box. You don't use the whole cake mix in this recipes and you don't make up the actual cake. It's used to add the "birthday cake" flavor to other recipes.
You're right, if you're going to make it right away, why not pull out a from scratch recipe unless you want to have this ready on hand for emergencies.
This recipe is more for the purpose of adding the cake flavor to other recipes that aren't for a cake.
Some recipes call for adding a dry cake mix batter – so to get the correct item for the recipe you need to have equal ingredients. I regular cake recipe won't work because you use liquid igredients. I hope I am saying this correctly
I know this old but wanted to comment as well. I wanted to make a cobbler (family favorite) that is basically a "dump cake"–one that uses canned pie filling topped with one box of yellow cake mix to which extra butter has been added. I enjoy baking from scratch, so I used Michelle's homemade pie filling and then was trying to re-create a similar topping from scratch. I wish I had found this sooner as it would have been perfect! Instead, I used a topping from another pie recipe, but it didn't come out quite like boxed cake topping. I plan to make another cobbler soon just so I can try it with this!
I love all your homemade versions of packaged ingredients. I once only made cakes with boxed mix, but now I cannot imagine a day that I would even buy it. Like you, this has left me out of the plethora of cake batter recipes. It's nice to know there's a homemade alternative that I can use 🙂
I really like this recipe and I plan to use it real soon with the holidays soon to be coming up. But I have a question which is do you add the other ingredients to it like it says on the cake box. I will admit that I am new at doing my some of my cooking from scratch. I like cooking that way, it makes me feel that it comes from the heart and not the box.
I've been on the hunt for a great homemade box mix so that I can make all those recipes I've shied away from in the past… I like to do all my baking from scratch. But I have a question: Is the recipe as written equivalent to 1 "box cake mix?" Most of the recipes I've seen don't specify a number of cups of mix needed, rather they just say 1 box. If you could let me know whenever you get a chance. I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Love, love, LOVE that you've posted a recipe for a yellow cake batter 'box' mix without all the over processed crap. Here in the UK, box mixes are a little over priced for what they are and I always have the mentality that it's just as simple to make your own from scratch. Love that you've provided a recipe for this. It's going to make my life so much easier.
if you are good at math (i ask my hubby) a regular box of cake mix before sizes changed was 18.25 ounces. a cup is 8 ounces. usually that's fluid but it does roughly translate to flour and stuff. somebody should measure out a cake mix from the box and do a comparison and then let the rest of us mathematically challenged know the results! i would estimate that you'd need two and a half cups of this to equal one box of mix but don't quote me.
Unfortunately, I have made these substitutions twice now and both times the cake came out of the oven looking fabulous and immediately fell and caved in. Any ideas on what went wrong? Made all the substitutions as suggested. First time was using a yellow cake box cake and second time a french vanila box cake.
I found this recipe on pinterest. I made it exactly as you listed, but it looked like so much more than the equivellant of one box of cake mix, so I weighed it. As it is written, I was able to make two 19 oz mixes, with a scant two ounces remaining. I can see me having a bit more or less flour in each cup, but having twice as much weight as a single box is leaving me puzzled a to how you think this one recipe equals one box of mix. Thoughts?
This mix was perfect. Thank you, Michelle for sharing. Thank you Holly for the tip on making two mixes!! 1/2 the recipe is enough for dump cake and 1/2 for crust for a cheese cake I found on pinch it. I like the results of the mix bcz you can add more or less to the recipes out there that call for cake mix 🙂
I have the same question as Elle. I just made the mix and ended up with enough for two 18oz cake mixes with some left over. I made this for a recipe that calls for an 18oz box of yellow cake mix. Am I right in assuming that I just weigh out 18 ounces of the mix for my recipe? Or am I completely missing something?
Ok, have any of you actually USED this recipe to bake anything? Also, I'm a little confused. Does this substitute boxed cake mix or is this just for giving recipes that "birthday cake" taste? I have a recipe for a "Sunshine Cake" Ingredients as follows:
1 Lemon
1 Orange
1 Carrot, Grated
3 Eggs
I 160z Sour Cream
1 Package Yellow Cake Mix
***Can I use your recipe instead of the yellow cake mix and how much of it would I use?*** Thank you!!
I hate box cake mixes due to the processed oils and excess sugar,etc. Thanks for bringing a bunch of us back to "Scratch City". My question…I am very curious as to the amount of Sugar in this mix…(2 cups of Sugar to the 3 cups of Flour) it just seems like a lot to me. Is there any way to use less or a healthy substitute? Thanks!
I wish I had found this recipe earlier today! I was trying to make from scratch a cobbler that my mom makes from canned pie filling and box cake mix as topping. I used your peach cobbler filling with a topping other than the biscuit one…the flavor turned out good but the texture wasn't quite what I had wanted. Next time I'll use this and I'm sure result will match the more processed recipe.
Hey there! I've been reading your web site for a while
now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from New
Caney Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the great work!
Christy, I know this is over a year old, but I just came across this site today. I just wanted to say "Hi!" from Porter, TX!!! 😀 BTW, did you try this recipe? How did it turn out?
I know I'm coming to the party a couple of years late but please, I BEG of you, revisit this recipe. Or, tell me where I can find variations. I understand that this is meant for recipes that call for a box mix, not really intended for making cakes, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea that I could have cake mixes ready to go in the freezer. I added 3/4 c. cocoa powder to attempt a chocolate cake mx. Smells good, looks right, will let you know when I bake it. I have a recipe that calls for a lemon cake mix, and here is where I am at a loss. It is NOT a pound cake, so I'm struggling to come up with the amount of lemon extract to add (rather than vanilla). I know people here will probably not understand why I don't just make things from scratch from start to finish… here's the best excuse I've got: I want to take as many processed, chemical laden foods out of my family's diet as possible. Problem #1: we moved to po-dunk nowhere and I literally have to order cake flour (etc) online. #2 living in the middle of nowhere means nothing is on the way to anything else… if I'm inspired in the middle of the day to make my grandmother's lemon cake recipe (the one that calls for the box mix) if I don't have one… yup, no cake. A trip to the store really is a big deal, so all the so-called "convenience" foods are not so convenient for me. THANKS!!! One brown-eyed girl to another. 🙂
I would try True Lemon. It is crystallized lemon. I discovered it when trying to make a heavenly lemon bar recipe that was from ages ago and called for a package of powdered lemon frosting mix. If you are unable to find True Lemon in a store near you, try Amazon.com. I did not buy the packets. I have a bottle of the granules. Good luck.
I would love to make this, but the link to Mel's kitchen cafe no longer exists. Could you tell me the directions and last ingredients on how to make/bake the cake from this recipe? I love your recipes!!!–Kathryn
Have just seen your post,not sure if we are singing from the same sheet,try this link. http://www.seededatthetable.com/2012/08/08/diy-homemade-yellow-cake-mix/
I'm making cupcakes and the recipe calls for one 18.25 box of golden butter cake mix. To that I add 1/2 c. butter, 4 eggs, 2/3 c. water. My first question, do I use the entire amount that this recipe makes to equal my 18.25 boxed cake mix, or do I weigh out 18.25 ounces? My next question, with me adding and additional 1/2 c. butter as called for in the recipe, and with the 1 cup butter already in the "cake mix" will that be too much butter?
Thank you.

Super Silky Hair!
I love this stuff. It makes your hair SO silky soft. And I feel like it protects it really well. My hair never gets "steamy". I like the way the Tigi After Party stuff makes my hair feel (my stylist uses it, haven't splurged on it yet) so that's why I gave it 4 stars. But overall, great product. It's almost like a conditioner....if you have less-than-healthy looking hair, I would definitely give this a try.

Elias back in Devils' lineup after bout with food poisoning; Gelinas, Larsson in; Harrold to sit
Left wing Patrik Elias will be back in the Devils' lineup tonight against Vancouver after missing the last two games because of what he believes was a bout with food poisoning.
"I didn't feel that bad since I had hepatitis, said Elias, referring to his bout with hepatitis A, which he contracted while playing in Russia during the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
Elias wasn't sure what he ate that caused he become ill. He said he and his wife, Petra, ate the same thing Friday, but he had some raw tuna and she didn't, so maybe that was it.
"I was throwing up for like five hours straight on Sunday and just got a fever after that for a couple of days and a body ache and all that," Elias said.
Elias said he started feeling better on Tuesday.
"I came by (Prudential Center) on Tuesday afternoon just to get out of the house pretty much. That's about it," he said. "I had a light skate (Wednesday) and I feel good enough today."
Elias said he "lost a few pounds."
"But that's expected," he said. "It's not a big deal. It wasn't pretty for a couple days. But when you can't eat much and things just come out instead of coming in then, obviously, you're going to lose some weight and strength. So, that's something I've got to pay attention, too."
Elias noted again that since he had hepatitis, which caused him to miss the Devils' first 39 games in 2005-06, it seems to take him longer to recover from things like this or illnesses than it did before.
"After that, one thing I noticed is that it takes a little longer (to recover)," he said.
Elias said he didn't watch either of the games he missed.
"I was in bed pretty much for 18 hours a day and in bed by 8 o' clock," he said. "It was a big win, obviously, against the Rangers, and a tough game again (Tuesday in Columbus) on the road. You want to put two wins together and get some string of wins going here and we were unable to do that."
With Elias returning, Mattias Tedenby will come out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. Center Jacob Josefson and defenseman Peter Harrold will also be healthy scratches.
With Harrold sitting out, both Eric Gelinas and Adam Larsson will play tonight. Gelinas, 22, was called up from Albany of the AHL Wednesday because Bryce Salvador had to return home following a death in his family. It will be his second NHL game after he played in the team's second to last game in 2012-13.
Larsson will be back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last two games.
Harrold had his right wrist/arm jammed on a hit by Blue Jackets defenseman David Savard late in the third period of Tuesday's 4-1 loss in Columbus, but Devils coach Pete DeBoer said he is healthy enough to play tonight.
"Harry's played some good hockey for us," DeBoer said. "I think he was fantastic early. He's not a big guy. I think sometimes the grind levels his play off a little bit and we're just going to take a step back here and put some fresh legs in."
So, here is the Devils' full lineup tonight with the line combinations and defense pairs from the morning skate:
Forwards: Patrik Elias-Andrei Loktionov-Jaromir Jagr; Rostislav Olesz-Travis Zajac-Brunner; Dainius Zubrus-Adam Henrique-Michael Ryder; Ryan Carter-Stephen Gionta-Steve Bernier.
Defensemen: Andy Greene-Mark Fayne; Anton Volchenkov-Marek Zidlicky; Eric Gelinas-Adam Larsson.
Goaltenders: Cory Schneider

Correcting the record on Cedar County
The recent letter
Valley View,
April 14, 1996]
from a Carnation resident expressing concerns about Cedar County simply was not based on fact.
No member of the Cedar County Committee has made "promises to all the land-owners ... to do as they please with their property," and we certainly have never opposed the purchase of open space lands nor the protection of legitimate wetlands.
As chairperson of the committee to form Cedar County, I'd like to provide information to avoid further misconception.
First, the Cedar County Committee:
We are currently 11 volunteer members meeting most Tuesdays at the Hobart Church. The public is welcome. No member will run for elected office in Cedar County. The committee sets no policy for Cedar County.
We are nonpartisan and endorse no candidates, initiatives, or political causes.
Our financial records are on file with Public Disclosure Commission. There have been no "special interest" donations.
And about Cedar County:
Our state constitution says that a new county in Washington is created by signing a petition. This was not a committee decision.
Cedar County will be a local government with officials elected from our rural neighborhoods (not from Seattle and suburban areas, as is the majority on the King County Council).
It will cover over 1,500 rural square miles with a population of around 150,000.
Cities included will be Duvall, Carnation, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Black Diamond, Enumclaw, and the unincorporated areas of Fall City and Maple Valley.
There will be three commissioners, each elected by all the voters (as opposed to our only voting for one member of the 13-member Metro/King County Council).
The Sheriff will be elected, and not be a political appointee, as we now have in King County.
Our brochure states plainly, and we stress at every meeting, that Cedar County will be subject to the State Growth Management Act. This requires the Cedar County commissioners to establish a comprehensive plan. (Thus, the extremes set forth by the letter writer could not happen.)
Cedar County starts with all the rules and regulations of King County. These are subject to review and modification by the new Cedar County Commissioners.
Studies show Cedar County is economically viable. (We will have the income of Spokane County but less than half their population.)
A new county will not change fire, water, school, library, or other independent districts. They are funded through their separate taxing districts, which remain intact.
County roads, parks, and other county facilities become the property of Cedar County and will be maintained with our tax dollars and equipment received in the division of assets.
Most people recognize that a small local government empowers the citizenry. This allows our concerns to be considered when decisions are made which affect our rural lifestyle, land use, taxes, etc. Under King County, we are dictated to by council members that we did not elect (and can't vote out of office).
This is what creating Cedar County is about, not destroying our beautiful countryside, as the letter writer from Carnation would have you believe.
If you have questions about Cedar County, please call 836-0271. Don't rely on misinformation.
Lois Gustafson, President, Cedar Committee

We were honored by the visit and teachings of His Eminence "Khenpo Sonam Gyatso Rinpoche" or short "Khenpo Sogyal Rinpoche" and Lama Dawa in Garafía, La Palma from June 21st to 27th 2011. See Photo Album! He is an important Lama of the Drukpa and Kagyu Lineages, university professor for Buddhist philosophy and logic at the Central Institute of Tibetan Higher Education in Benares (Varanasi), India.
His Holiness, the Gyalwang Drukpa asked Khenpo Rinpoche to offer his immense knowledge to students at Drukpa centers in Europe. We are very fortunate to have had such a great Master in Buddhist philosophy and meditation on the small La Palma Island and many could take advantage of this excellent occasion to study and instruct ourselves in the light of his profound teachings.
Rinpoche taught on the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas (Shantideva), meditation, buddhist philosophy and its relevance for today´s environmental and social problems and ways to resolve them by responsible and harmonic living with nature and environment on individual and collective levels.
Rinpoche was very interested in the work of the scientists (astronomers) on the Roque de Los Muchachos at 2.426 m above sea level. We thank the Isaac Newton Group at the William Herschel Observatory and the Grand Telescope of Canaries Observatory (Gran Tecan) for their exquisite guidance and explications. Many similarities between Buddhist wisdom and modern astrophysical science were found and discussed.
About 80 people came to the public talk, about 30 took part in the retreat and 13 took refuge at the end.
We thank Rinpoche for his wonderful teachings and blessings and invite him to come back whenever possible! La Palma has become your home, dear Khenpo-la!
21.06.2011 - 17:15 h: Kathak Reception at La Palma airport

Can Not Get Enough
Reviewed: 06 May 2016 by KittenFeatures, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I received this as part of a freebie kit on an order of £30 or over and was quite excited as I've never tried a tickler before. We've only tried tickling each other with the flogger, so I was eager to get down to business with this.
The first thing I liked about it is the handle - it's not too big or too thin, not bendy, and it's see-through and looks very clean - with the silver ball at the bottom and top of the neck tying the whole look together, a very pleasing and expensive looking tickler overall. It did come with a label on it but this had already fallen off when I took it out of the package as it isn't tied on very tightly.
The feathers at the top are very nice, the quality of them is great and, to my pleasant surprise, they do not fall out of the casing at all, so this tickler doesn't leave any feathers all over the place to clean up! The feathers don't stick out on their own awkwardly and the picture is very much true to the product.
Down to the use, I loved it! It's so soft and delicate feeling, but at the same time, it makes me feel so sensitive. I've had it trailed all over my body by my partner and it excites me to no end. I also had a chance to try it on him and he said that it didn't really tickle him, it just made him feel very relaxed and ever so slightly turned on, a great result when he was reluctant as he is very ticklish. He even tried it with a blindfold on to heighten the sensation and still didn't feel irritated by it!
Overall, we loved it! We've used it almost everywhere on my body and it is still very clean - it looks new. Would definitely recommend this tickler to everyone. Very nice to look at and a very fun experience for both men and women. It is also perfect for bondage beginners who want to practice with blindfold and restraints, as these only heighten the effects of this product.
- Pros
- The appearance, the feathers are good quality, the sensations it gives.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great tickler, perfect for bondage beginners, not too expensive, but looks it.

Reviewed: 13 March 2016 by Sxleksaker, a Straight Going Steady Female
This is my first feather tickler. It caught my eye by being so beautiful and when it arrived it looked just the same as in the picture.
It is a great quality item and feels luxurious. The feather is soft and silky and feels great against the skin, especially when blindfolded. The handle is also really beautiful and feels good in my hand.
It is small and easy to store (which is good for us with quite a collection of toys). It would also be perfect to bring along on a trip!
I highly recommend this product to everyone. It is stunning.
- Pros
- The design and the softness of the feather.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great product for the price.

A Little Sensation Adds So Much Fun
Reviewed: 09 March 2016 by AHusbandsPassion, a Straight Married Male
This is the first feather tickler that we have used together. As other reviewers have posted, it's great when a blindfold is involved.
When I used it with my wife, she loved me brushing all over her body, but especially her inner thighs and around her breasts and nipples. She was blindfolded with her hips up on our Liberator Wedge, which added an extra dimension to her turn. I also enjoyed having it brushed around my scrotum and inner thighs.
It's best to use with a blindfold to help increase the surprise and anticipation. It's great for foreplay and setting a fun mood.
- Pros
- Simple, a fun little toy to the foreplay routine, a cheap little addition.
- Cons
- Nothing, just use with a blindfold for the best sensations.
- Bottom line
- This is great for an addition to foreplay.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island couple bled more than $2.5 million from a government-funded food program for children and paid condo expenses, personal taxes and other business ventures with the cash, federal prosecutors allege.
Joanna Fan was the executive director and her husband, Ziming Shen, a trustee in the nonprofit Red Apple Child Development Center. They are Grymes Hill residents.
Red Apple provides day care, nursery school and kindergarten programs for children from infancy through age 5 at six facilities in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens, said prosecutors.
Between 2002 and 2010, Red Apple received more than $13.5 million through the government-sponsored Child and Adult Care Food Program, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court. The program provides funds for meals and snacks in qualifying institutions.
According to court papers, Red Apple inflated attendance and meal numbers to collect more program money than it was entitled to. Ms. Fan, who's also known as Xiao Ping Fan, allegedly accomplished that by improperly including teachers and other staff members as children served by the program.
In January 2009, Ms. Fan claimed 188 children attended Red Apple centers and consumed 4,700 meals and snacks, said court records.
In actuality, only 116 children were enrolled and only 2,900 meals and snacks were served, those records said. According to a complaint filed by a federal agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General, Ms. Fan stole about $1.8 million in program funds in 2008 and 2009. Ms. Fan acknowledged taking the money, but maintained she had "borrowed" it, court papers said.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were allegedly diverted to businesses Shen owned.
One is an online furniture company based in Shanghai, China, said court papers.
About $545,000 was paid to Supermarnet, Inc., a Shen company that installed kitchens at four new for-profit preschool sites Ms. Fan was in the process of acquiring, court documents said. Those preschools were ineligible for program funds, said prosecutors.
Supermarnet also sold overpriced food to Red Apple, said court records.
The company received about $2.7 million in program funds from Red Apple between June 2005 and March 2010. Invoices, however, indicated Supermarnet spent only about $24,000 for food during that period, alleges the complaint.
Ms. Fan also siphoned off hundreds of thousands of dollars of program money to pay for three condos she owns in Manhattan, allege prosecutors. In addition, she paid personal income taxes and non-program expenses with the cash, including the wages of an employee who didn't work in the program, said court records.
The suspects were charged with scheming to defraud a federal food program, said a spokesman for Loretta E. Lynch, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

How is your Vitamin D Level? My skin has never been better since I started supplementing D.
Hi Primal Blueprint Community,
I decided to join the conversation. Thanks for having me
I've been full-on Primal for about 14 months. Occasional indulgences around the holidays but for the most part I'm no-grain, no-dairy (except butter), no sweets except fruit and maybe a chocolate now and then.
Still I have flare-ups of my acne. Nowhere near what it used to before I started the Paleo diet, but I feel like I still have triggers that I can't place. Anyone out there have a similar story? I'd love to hear what you tried eliminating. The only thing I do eat alot of is fruit. Should I cut back?
I've started a Paleo blog, Primrose & Paleo, to help me with my journey. The online Paleo community has helped me so much that I wanted to join the conversation. Food triggers vary per person, I know, but I'd love a jumping off point.
Thanks, guys!
How is your Vitamin D Level? My skin has never been better since I started supplementing D.
For me it was almonds. Took me about six months to figure out why I was suddenly getting cysts when I'd never had them before. For me, almonds are NOT the primal miracle they appear to be.
Also I seem to be reactive to ginger, and possibly cardamom (they are related).
Switching to non-fluoride toothpaste helped a lot, too.
Primrose I feel your pain. All my paleo friends go on about how their hair/nails have grown and their skin has gotten better. I am pretty strict with my eating and have been for almost a year. I have not seen any improvement in anything. I have had my blood test done and an not insufficient in any vits/minerals, supplement Vit D3, and the only dairy I have been doing in the past is butter which I have now quit using to see if that makes a difference. I switched to Dr. Bonners soap and use coconut oil on my face and nothing seems to help. I am curious to see if there are others with the same problem.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI promised Wednesday that the Catholic Church would take action to confront the clerical sex abuse scandal, making his first public comments on the crisis days after meeting with victims. During his weekly public audience in St. Peter's Square, Benedict recounted his tearful weekend encounter in Malta with eight men who say they were abused as children by priests in a church-run orphanage. "I shared with them their suffering, and emotionally prayed with them, assuring them of church action," Benedict said. At the time of the private meeting Sunday, the Vatican issued a statement saying Benedict had told the men that the church would do everything in its power to bring justice to abusive priests and would implement "effective measures" to protect children. Wednesday, the public heard the words from the pope himself. Neither Benedict nor the Vatican has elaborated on what action or measures are being considered. Various national bishops conferences have over the years implemented norms for handling cases of priests who sexually abuse children, none more stringent than the zero-tolerance policy adopted by the United States. The U.S. norms, which are being held up as a model for others, bar credibly accused priests from any public church work while claims against them are under investigation. Diocesan review boards, comprised mostly of lay people, help bishops oversee cases. Clergy found guilty are permanently barred from public ministry and, in some cases, ousted from the priesthood. Victims advocates have demanded the Vatican take stronger action and remove the bishops who shielded known abusers, shuffling them around from diocese to diocese rather than reporting them to police. On Wednesday, two church officials in Dublin told The Associated Press that the pope had accepted the resignation of Bishop James Moriarty, who admitted in December that he hadn't challenged the Dublin archdioceses' past practice of concealing child abuse complaints from police. A formal announcement is expected from the Vatican on Thursday, the church officials told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Vatican also is expected to accept the December resignation offers of two auxiliary Dublin bishops, Eamonn Walsh and Ray Field, in coming weeks. All three bishops were identified in an Irish government-ordered investigation published last year into decades of cover-ups of child-abusing clergy in the Dublin Archdiocese. The report found that all bishops until 1996 colluded to protect scores of pedophile priests from criminal prosecution. Last week, the Vatican for the first time issued guidelines telling bishops they should report cases of abusive priests to police where civil laws require it. While the Vatican has insisted that was long its policy, it was never written explicitly and victims, lawyers, government-backed inquiries and grand juries have all accused the church of mounting a cover-up to keep clerical abuse secret and away from civil jurisdiction. Benedict said in a homily last week that Christians must repent for sins and recognize their mistakes – comments widely interpreted as concerning the scandal. But his comments Wednesday marked his first public and direct remarks on the crisis since March 20, when he wrote a letter to the Irish faithful concerning the abuse crisis in that country. In that letter, Benedict chastised Irish bishops for leadership failures and "gross errors of judgment" in handling abuse cases. But he laid no blame on the church hierarchy, whom critics blame for mandating a culture of secrecy that encouraged bishops to keep abuse quiet. Three Irish government-ordered investigations published from 2005 to 2009 have documented how thousands of Irish children suffered rape, molestation and other abuse by priests in their parishes and by nuns and brothers in boarding schools and orphanages. Irish bishops did not report a single case to police until 1996 after victims began to sue the church. The reports have faulted Rome for sending confusing messages to the Irish church about norms to be followed and, in general, for what it called the absence of a coherent set of canon laws and rules to apply in cases of abuse.

We lost our beloved Dorothy Ellen Hallstrom on February 13. She passed quietly at home with family by her side at the age of 92.
Dorothy was preceded into the afterlife by her husband, Carl, and son, Doug. She is survived by her daughter, Carol; grandchildren, Calvin, Jessica, and Zoe and great-grandchildren, Keagan, Blake, and Jack.
Dorothy was a kind and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who logged countless hours of volunteer work at her church and the schools.
Dorothy was a cherished member of the community and never had a bad word to say about anyone. A consummate example of The Greatest Generation, she was hardworking, practical, generous and mannerly. We
all learned so much by the example of how she lived her life and deeply admire her strength and grace at the end of her life.
We would like to thank the great folks at Regency Care Center in Monroe, Evergreen Health Hospice Care and Valley General Hospital for their warm, loving care. Dorothy loved you and I know you loved her. A special mention for Dr. Mark Raney of Sky Valley Family Medicine. Dr. Raney is our wonderful "country doctor" who cared for Dorothy and husband Carl for years.
There will be a memorial for Dorothy in her birth month of May so the relatives from across the country can come.
We survivors have a hole left in our hearts from her passing, but are comforted by the fact that she is with Carl and Doug and is free from pain. May the Good Lord keep her until we are reunited.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The number of infections patients get in New York hospitals is steadily declining, according to a report by the state Health Department.
Infection rates at most Central New York hospitals in 2010 were not statistically different than the state average. The exceptions were St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center in Syracuse, which had a below average central line blood stream infection rate in its medical-surgical intensive care unit, and Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, which had an above-average rate of colon surgical site infections.
The fourth-annual report on hospital-acquired infections found that since 2007 the rate of central line blood stream infections dropped 37 percent and rates for surgical site infections fell by 15 percent at New York hospitals.
A central line bloodstream infection is an infection that involves a central line catheter or tube doctors place in a large vein in the neck, chest or arm to enable the rapid administration of fluids, blood or medications to critically ill patients.
Dr. Nirav R. Shah, the state's health commissioner, commended hospitals for their efforts to reduce infections. "The progress made in New York to reduce hospital-acquired infections demonstrates strong collaboration and shows that an active commitment to patient safety can make a difference," Shah said in a prepared statement.
The 2010 report for the first time includes C. difficile — short for Clostridium difficile — infection rates. C. difficile, a common cause of diarrhea, is often acquired in hospitals and nursing homes. Antibiotics can lead to C. difficile infections. Patients also can become infected if they touch their mouth after touching contaminated surfaces or patient care items. C. difficile infections, which can sometimes result in death, are most prevalent among people 65 and older.
The report shows whether patients got C. difficile in a hospital or in the community before they were admitted.
Hospital-acquired C. difficile rates at Central New York hospitals were not significantly different than the state average.
But the rate of C. difficile infections patients got in the community prior to hospitalization in Central New York was 39 percent higher than the state average.

Excited to see Emerald Faerie as 'The Bespokesperson' in todays Financial Times 'How to spend it"
The Lotus is our latest edition to the Triffid table lamp family.
It is a stylized Lotus flower made from antique cranberry glass and set in a mini oval glass dome with a copper leafed trim.
In Buddhism the lotus is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean. Therefore in common with Egyptian mythology the lotus is seen as a sign of rebirth, but additionally it is associated with purity. The breaking of the surface every morning is also suggestive of desire, this leads to it being associated with spiritual enlightenment.
Behind the scenes at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong…
Not only was I invited to display and sell my 'Botanica' inspired exclusive designs…I too was shipped out to Hong Kong.
Lane Crawford invited me to rifle through their warehouse which currently houses many unwanted pieces and ex-display items. I relished the challenge to create new and unusual 'Botanica' pieces with my findings from their "warehouse of unwanted things"
I found a stack of laser cut flowers left over from a previous display so I immediately got to work with a staple gun.
Being obsessed with lighting I couldn't help but add a small hidden spot light so that the chair illuminated itself were ever it was.
I found a bundle of steel wire which I fixed to the framework of the chair like a spiders web, and embellished the web with large crystals from a chandelier which i had found and dismantled earlier.
It is amazing how metallic like the paper lowers became after a special treatment.
Neon Green..an equally successful colour and finish.
The mannequins received the same treatment as the chairs, and were lit from with in by a bundle of fairy lights that we found in the warehouse.
I've had the most wonderful time creating new and unusual pieces.
On display throughout the Lane Crawford IFC mall store…

Central Christian Church at Second and Riggs in Belmont, hosted a "late" Father's Day dinner on June 26. Delaying the dinner to allow families to celebrate at home for Father's Day allowed more than 50 people to attend the church celebration.
The public is invited to the next Father's Day celebration which will begin at 12:15 in June of next year. Make plans to attend now.
I've recently discovered the secret to getting rid of internal turmoil and stress – I've stopped listening to news talk radio and political talking heads shows on TV.
Instead, I listen to my iPod – music and podcasts of sermons and science, food and history. It's amazing how my inner agitation and anxiety have gone way down, and I haven't missed a thing. I still know what's going on in the world – I do work for a newspaper – without having to endure all the yelling.

Objective: To compare the incidence and severity of biliary complications due to liver transplantation after choledochocholedochostomy with or without a T-tube in a single-center, prospective, randomized trial.
Summary Background Data: The usefulness of the T-tube for end-to-end biliary anastomosis to reduce the incidence of biliary complications in patients undergoing liver transplantation has been controversial.
Methods: A per-protocol analysis was designed for liver recipients, who were randomly assigned to choledochocholedochostomy with (n = 95) or without (n = 92) a T-tube.
Results: The overall biliary complication rate was 22.5% (n = 42), with no difference between groups (P = 0.35). The majority (66.7%) of complications in the T-tube group were types I and II, whereas 50% were type IIIa and 44% were type IIIb in the non–T-tube group (P < 0.0001). Fewer anastomotic strictures were found in the T-tube group (n = 2, 2.1%) than in the non–T-tube group (n = 13, 14.1%; P = 0.002). No difference in anastomotic biliary leakage was observed between groups. Biliary complication–free survival rates showed that complications appeared earlier in the T-tube group. Graft and patient survival rates were similar in both groups.
Conclusions: Complications in the T-tube group were less severe and required less aggressive treatment. The incidence of anastomotic strictures was higher in patients with no T-tube. We recommend conducting choledochocholedochostomy with a rubber T-tube during liver transplantation in risky anastomosis and when the bile duct diameter is less than 7 mm.

Whether you remember the '80s heyday of the Ann Arbor-born jazz band The Lunar Glee Club – scheduled to paly a 30th anniversary reunion show at the Kerrytown Concert House on Sunday, July 27 at 7 p.m. – or this is your first time hearing of them, one of the first questions you're likely to ask is: So where did that band name come from?
"It's kind of embarrassing," said LGC drummer Jon Krosnick, who'd come to Ann Arbor in the '80s to attend graduate school. (He's now a professor at Stanford University.) " … It felt like the voices we were putting together musically didn't match any established category. More to have a label than anything else, people started classifying us as a Latin jazz group. In those early days, the category 'world music' didn't exist; plus, that wouldn't feel quite right, since Africa was a more important influence rhythmically for us than anything else. So somehow, someone got this picture in his head and imagined a wolf looking up at the moon and singing on the African plain, and then a bunch of them, like a glee club, singing at the moon. There was no logic to it. It was a bad idea, actually. … It suggested to people that we were a glee club, and we were not."
For this reason, LGC eventually became known as the Lunar Octet instead, but their unique sound remained the same – with strong roots in both classical and jazz music that mixed heavy doses of Latin and African rhythms – and won them acclaim: they headlined the Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival several times; they won WEMU's jazz competition; gigged throughout the region; and released a number of recordings, including a CD on Schoolkids Records' label.
Lunar Glee Club 30th Anniversary Reunion Concert
- What: This innovative jazz ensemble, born in Ann Arbor in the '80s, will re-assemble for one performance.
- Where: Kerrytown Concert House, 415 N. Fourth Ave in Ann Arbor.
- When: Sunday, July 27 at 7 p.m.
- How much: $30 and $20 for reserved seating tickets, $15 general admission, $5 for students. To make a reservation, call 734-769-2999 or visit www.kerrytownconcerthouse.com or
It helped that, according to Krosnick, Ann Arbor had a thriving jazz scene when LGC formed in the '80s.
"I arrived in Ann Arbor for grad school and looked around and thought, 'There's so much more happening here than in Boston,' where I'd come from," said Krosnick. "Boston had had one full-time jazz radio station, Ann Arbor had 3. The Montreux Jazz Festival was just down the road, which was this landmark event. … (An Ann Arbor bar called) Del Rio offered free jazz on Sunday afternoons, and there'd always be a line down the street. … It was just electrifying to do that gig. … And Eclipse Jazz, this student organization at the University of Michigan, … constantly produced jazz concerts featuring some of the biggest touring acts out there at the time."
Krosnick also noted that the Blind Pig, Bird of Paradise, Mr. Flood's Party, the Apartment Lounge, and Rick's American Café also featured live jazz regularly.
"We all have such wonderful memories of the time we spent in that environment together," said Krosnick. "And as we've gotten older, we haven't lost touch. We've tended to see each other in pairs or trios, … and we talk nostalgically about the group. … It was a long time ago, but the memory's fresh. … And we made good music. Usually, if you're a musician, you listen to something you made 30 years ago and feel embarrassed about what you did as a kid, but with this, we listen and think, 'Wow, this is all right.'"
8 of LGC's 9 original members will perform at the KCH reunion concert: Steve Hiltner and Paul Vornhagen on saxophone; Kalle Nemvalts on trumpet; Sam Clark on guitar; Dan Ladizinsky and Dan Bilich on bass; Krosnick on drums; and Aron Kaufman on congas and percussion.
WEMU's Linda Yohn will MC the concert.
"We'll be playing, but we'll also be catching up personally," Krosnick said. " … It will be so fun to all be in the same room again."

Guys, it really isn't.. This may look at this stage but there's gonna be lots of development from this point on.
You have to experience the lovely tracks/ambience yourself to believe it.. it's superb!
The potential is extreme
Ok, seeing the clouds and sun (shadows) actually move like that is freakin' awesome!
The shadows and lights are definitely much better than in rF1, but it's not a giant leap forward at this point. They're not finished with it by any means, so I'm looking forward to what they'll come up with. =)
Duno how you can lap like that, when you turn the gloves hide lot of the field view, adjust your seat up
