Cleveland "squeeze" a win over Detroit, Does this mean there a chance of Playoffs??
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Luke Lovekin.
Cleveland managed to pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat today against Detroit to come away with the spoils. The scorebook will say the score was 3 – 2 in favour of the Tribe today and Joe Smith takes the win and Doug Fister charged with the loss but those who watched today will tell a slightly different story. Ubaldo Jiminez pitched 6 scoreless innings today in one of his better showin...

The past five days have been Digital Learning Week here at the Financial Times. Like any business that's trying to look further than the end of its nose, we are trying to guess the future. It doesn't always sound like a comfortable place to be. Between gorging on TweetDeck, muttering to your Google glasses, and submitting a fingerprint to gain access to your own telephone, we seem to be heading for a fundamentally different world. A world that is good for the speedy dissemination of news and the seamless accumulation of diverse viewpoints, but not so good for attention spans and anyone with a squint.
What will the impact of this be on our cultural lives? Amid the seminars and the training sessions, I went to the opera on Monday night. The Royal Opera House was kicking off its new season with Puccini's Turandot. It was, in the context of my week, a comforting occasion. The opera dated from 1926. The production dated from 1984. Long time-spans. There was a sense of permanence about the place. People dressed up, drank champagne, compared the voices of the protagonists with those that they had heard before.
There was a hefty tenor, a wispy slave girl, and a steely soprano in the title role. The princess's three ministers – Ping, Pang and Pong; political correctness be damned – cajoled and cavorted with energy. None of the characters showed any signs of psychological complexity, but gave it their all. The Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura, as the slave girl Liu, did that miraculous opera thing that happens all too rarely: infused a perfectly ridiculous scenario with real feeling through her sumptuous singing. The set was spectacular, if slow-moving. The ovations of the audience were lusty and sincere.
This was a part of London's cultural scene that we know, and some of us love. As familiar to us as the Sunday afternoon trip to the art gallery, or the viewing of a much talked-about new film, or the quiet night in to catch up with a compelling TV series. All of these require sustained spells of concentration, relative sensory isolation, and inwardly directed thoughts. The old paradigm of cultural consumption reigns supreme.
Yes, I am aware that you can watch TV and tweet your reactions to the programme at the same time (not if you're watching good television, I would reply). And that digital art, iPad painting and the streaming of lectures are making some inroads into our cultural lives. But they are still far from the mainstream. Listen to our daily conversations: they are full of the best films, exhibitions, TV programmes we've seen, just like they were when I was growing up.
The odd YouTube clip crops up, as trivial diversion. But there is a palpable thirst for something more substantial. I was in a Digital Learning Week seminar when news broke of Miley Cyrus's colourful new video "Wrecking Ball". It was presented as an example of something that was trending off the chart. But I struggled subsequently to have a meaningful exchange with any of my colleagues on the matter. To trend is not to have true traction.
The arts need to reassess their role in society. After so many decades of basking in the avant-garde, leading thought revolutions, changing values and behaviour, forcing people to question themselves, they now have the opposite role. An evening at the opera, or the cinema, or the theatre, is where we go to escape from the terrifyingly fast-moving world that is overtaking us by the day. Culture is becoming the refuge of the digitally brutalised.
Of course no arts institution would own up to this role. It cannot afford to, any more than a journalist would admit to writing copy on a typewriter. It must try out new ways of presenting art forms, appeal to fresh audiences, shake expectations. But that's a big ask. Our perceptions of what is possible have already been so subverted by the technology of the past decade that art doesn't have many more ambitious places to go.
Just look at the ROH's current promotional campaign, and its eye-catching poster. "Experience the real thing," it says proudly, aware that the twists and twerks of our daily business are far more fantastical in scope than what can be put on stage. ("The real thing" was a slogan for Coca-Cola in the 1960s, when art was so radicalised that a sickly soft drink could be marketed as a reality check.)
Look, too, at the house's Deloitte Ignite festival, conceived five years ago as a way of bringing contemporary art and its followers into the building, but which this year has retrenched into familiar territory. The celebrations over the anniversaries of the births of Verdi and Wagner, fronted by those reassuringly cerebral figures Stephen Fry and Simon Callow, are a way of reconnecting with the house's traditional themes and audiences. It is finding that to be apart from, rather than part of, the contemporary arts buzz is neither cowardly nor ignoble.
In a world where communication is becoming near-instantaneous, and in which the most profound insights are mashed, courtesy of TED and its legacy, into 18-minute segments of furiously demotic exposition, there are few places in which to sit still and gather our thoughts. Art is at its weakest when it seeks self-consciously to be the wildest ride in town. It has a much more important role than that now, as the guardian of our deepest reflections.
The Chinese minister Ping, joshing with his pals Pang and Pong, put it best on Monday night: "O China, O China, who now starts and leaps restlessly, how happily you used to sleep filled with your 70,000 centuries!" China, now a global superpower, hasn't had a proper night's sleep for a good while. The wide world is the wired world, and who knows where we're heading?

This past weekend I went home. I have been in Cobleskill for eight weeks, and figured it was well over due to see my family, puppies, and my friends back home, I also needed to get winter clothes as it is getting colder. When I got back last night with all of my stuff and having a list of things to do before I could sleep it got me thinking.
I have a lot of responsibilities at home, and I could not get out of my house fast enough in order to not have to be responsible for so much and just for myself. I know this is not everyone, and even being excited, college is quite different than what most people expect.
One person even can make a room messy in a week, so you and our roommate need to remember to clean, like sweep the floor. Do not forget to do laundry, and dishes if you make any. It would be good to wipe down counters, especially during flu season. If your trash starts to smell, you need to take it out. This sounds like a list of chores, but its the little things that keep a room nice and orderly.
Last year at this time I I felt like I was in constant disarray, some stuff at home some stuff at school. Then my mom pointed out that I should feel settled because I do not have no home but two homes. We now call it "bihomial" one who lives in two places.
I was thinking back to last year, when I was first here. I was pretty independent at home, we could come and go as we please, as long as my mom had an idea of where we were, kind of, and when we would be home, sort of. Here, no one had to know. You did not have to tell anyone where you are or when you'll be back. I remember my first weekend the door across the hall never opened after moving in. I didn't see that floor mate for a week. That is one big difference I find when I am home, I forget I need to check in.
Now it is good while at school to contact your parents. I remember my first day at Cobleskill, a UPD (University Police Department) officer was talking to my mother and me. His advice to me was "Your mother will call, you miss the first one , that's ok. She calls again, you miss that call, ok. But if you get to missing three calls in a row then she'll call me (UPD) and I'll have to find you and I do not want to be searching for you. So do not let it get to the third call." It really became as simple as that. If my mom calls I usually call her back because we also occasionally text, but set something up with your parents so you do not fell like your checking in but at the same time they feel informed and know your alive and okay.
Coming to college you will be exposed to some things you may never have seen before, that is because there are people from all different walks of life coming together for four short years. These things may be good and may be bad, they will help form your views, and your life. So just be aware of where you are and what is going on. It is not all bad, just people need to be aware.
I think the last piece of advice I got that was very helpful was to just expect the unexpected and go with the flow. Your living away from home, so you are in charge of yourself, and so is everyone else on the floor fell that way. Remember there are still some rules that should be followed, and there are still the laws. But also remember that you make the choices now. No one is going to hold your hand and make sure you do what is right, but there are people here as your cheerleaders all along the way. You may be away from home, but your not on your own.

Who do we have on the schedule tonight? Ah, we've got the good ol' Milwaukee Bucks back in town ready to throw down in another showdown.
Does anyone remember the last time the Bucks came to town? I do. It was a Friday night back in January. I was at Philthy's with a group of friends ready to enjoy a very rowdy Raptor Fan Friday game party. The place was packed! Everyone was hyped because the Raps were playing at home; they were riding a 3-game winning streak and were only 1 game out of the 8th seed held down by the Bucks. This was the game every Raptors fanaddict expected the team win. Plus Milwaukee had just lost Michael Redd for the season. This was a supposed to be a no-brainer win for the Raps. Inside the bar, we were chanting "BEAT THE BUCKS" early and often. Than the game started. (Let's get it on!) And what transpired over the course of the next two and a half hours epitomized the season. Two months later, we've got the Bucks are back in town. (Oh joy). This Bucks team has performed like a typical "fighting for a playoff berth down the stretch, but just don't seem to have the necessary tools to make it this year". Although they currently sit a mere two games out of the 8th seed, they are coming off a season-long 6 game home stand in which they went 2-4. They have also lost 11 of their last 15 games. Their current slump is due to the fact they've shot .417% over the past 10 games. Even though they've slumped in March, they still have a chance. The Bucks still have a chance. After losing their two best players mid-season, they still have a chance. That's nice. As for our once-beloved Raptors, I find it funny how the players (Bosh) and coaches (Triano) were talking about making a playoff run after beating the Clippers, which happened to be only their second win in their past 11 games. Kids, playoffs and futility don't mix. Even NBATV have dismissed the Raptors chances by not including them when discussing the race for the 8th seed in the East. "Now that's real to a brother like me baby". Here's a poignant fact. Both the Bucks and the Raps share the same road record 11-24, but at home, the Raps are 14-20 while the Bucks are 20-16. "If you don't win at home, you don't deserve to make the playoffs". Before we get into our match-ups, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Quincy Douby's 10-day contract. If you don't know much about his game, just think "fluid jump shooter". But if you want to know more about the man behind the game, check out this 2-part documentary of him after being drafted from Rutgers. I'd be guilty of even more remission if I forgot to add that Bango is out with a torn ACL. The injury report is thin but substantial for the Bucks: Redd and Bogut are out. On our end Banks and Humphries. Matchup time:
Calderon vs Sessions Parker vs Mbah a Moute Marion vs Jefferson CB4 vs CV31 Bargnani vs Elson The Edge: Bargnani – Bargs is the team's future franchise player and it's players like Elson he has to beat on offence. Elson doesn't have the tools or the talent on offence to have much on an impact. Look for Bargs to continue his strong play with another 20-6 game. The line has the Raptors laying 3.5 I'm picking the Bucks by 5 – Sessions and CV31 take it to us again. Grab the Feed Follow us on Twitter
The Edge: Calderon – Even though Sessions lit it up the last time we played and scored 40+ in a game about a month ago, I expect Calderon to continue his effective play making his lateral passes to our jump shooters and scoring assists from baskets made outside the painted area. That's how it is.
The Edge: Parker – Parker's playing for a contract now, so it's time to the league that your off-balance 360 fade-away baseline jumper is money in the bank against even lesser competition! I don't know much about MBah a Moute's game, but I'm sure the fact he's starting is a reason the Bucks are shooting less than 42% in their past 10 games.
The Edge: Jefferson – Every time Marion has matched-up against an equally skilled opponent, he's fizzled out. I'm looking for Jefferson to repeat Gerald Wallace's performance. Sure he's got a high standard to live up to, but I don't expect Marion will be in formidable headspace to outplay RJ.
The Edge: CB4 – Nicknames, Twitter and baby-momma-drama issues aside, this is the match-up of the night! CV31 loves playing in Toronto. He always comes out hard in the first half of games, but back in January he played a complete game. Because I'm counting down the remaining days I expect to see CB4 in a Raptors uniform, I'm giving him my nod for the rest of the year.

Thief Quiz
Though you don't spend much time planning, everything always seems to work out anyways. You're fit, tough, agile, and very lucky. Luck keeps you alive, though maybe it's karma. A lot of your kind and merciful deeds end up coming full circle. The people you have helped in the past always seem to be nearby when you're in trouble, bandaging you up or letting you rest in their house for a few days. Over the years you've built up a sort of Robin Hood reputation (completely unintentionally). The richest people have the most loot, and you have to repay the poor that help you somehow, may as well let them in on a cut.

There's a even a hold that's loosely shaped like the Millennium Falcon—very loosely—and depending on the size and complexity they'll each set you back somewhere in the neighborhood of $63 to $243.

Subject: | Rebecca = sacrificial animal? well-fed? |
Author: | Minikui (guest, 188.8.131.52) |
Date: | May 3, 2007 at 6:41:00 AM |
I just saw these two meanings given for the name Rebecca. The explanation being that originally the sacrifical animals were called like that. While I can't really find a lot of information about this, I first thought it was nonsense. But then I saw the same meaning for the name "Maria" and started wondering - maybe there is some truth to it after all?Can these two names (while sounding so differently) be derived from the same word? Or is it only one of them? Or actually none? How were the sacrifical animals called anyway?
I'm sorry if my text isn't very clear, but I'm a bit confused at the moment.
Thanks for your help :)

Alcohol Consumption?11/05/2010 |
Can years of consuming large amounts of alcohol affect your kidneys function or cause kidney disease?
The alcohol itself should not cause kidney damage, but it may certainly affect overall health in ways that may lead to kidney disease. Also alcohol consumption may be accompanied by other behaviors, such as smoking or overeating, that may ultimately contribute to kidney disease.

Phonetics | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As you know, the English alphabet is far from being a regular and consistent system of representing all the sounds in English. For instance, think of the letter group ough. How many different way can it sound like:
And as you can see, "ough" can produce a myriad of sounds seemingly randomly. In addition, these endings may rhyme different in other dialects of English as well. Therefore linguists cannot rely on such whimsical system to scientifically represent sounds in a language. The solution was the creation of symbols explicitly designed to represent all sounds that humans can produce. We call such systems "Phonetic Alphabets". Unfortunately concensus is the last thing linguists have between them and consequently several systems exist. The most famous one is the International Phonetic Alphabet or IPA, but the American Phonetic Alphabet is also quite widespread. I have chosen to adhere to the American system in this page because that's what I've been taught in. If you are familiar with the IPA there shouldn't really be any problems once you understand corresponding equivalent symbols in the two systems. The following are some of the signs of the American phonetic system. When used for transcription, sounds are put inside square brackets, ie [ ]. Related and similar sounds in a language often occur in complementary distribution, that is, each of these sounds appear only in unique situations. For example, in English, the "t" in "top" sounds different from that in "stop". However, the "t"-sound in "stop" (which is less powerful the the "t" in the beginning of a word) only occurs after a "s" sound, while the "t" in "top" occurs everywhere else, and therefore these two sounds are in complementary distribution. We call this set of sounds a phoneme, and write it between two slashes, ie / /. Formally, /t/ becomes [t] after [s], and becomes [th] everywhere else. The superscript h means that the consonant before it is produced with a little more air. Consonants: Some important points:
Vowels: Even though they look like English, don't be tempted to pronounce the symbols as if they were English letters. For instance, the symbol [i] really sounds like the 'ee' in "reed". The symbol [e] doesn't sound like the 'e' in 'be', but more like French 'être'. When you say a vowel, you unconsciously change your tongue and lip into an unique configuration characterized by three attributes:

Felicitous Space: The Imaginative Structures of Edith Wharton and Willa Cather
Henry James, already an expatriate in 1883, noted on his return to America in that year that the "most salient and peculiar point in our social life" was to be found in the situation of women. He perceived an "abyss of inequality" which he attributed to "the growing divorce between the American woman (with her comparative leisure, culture, grace, social instincts, artistic ambitions) and the male American immersed in the ferocity of business, with no time for any but the most sordid interests, purely commercial, professional, democratic and political."
Judith Fryer offers us an illuminating exploration of how two American woman writers, Edith Wharton and Willa Cather, managed to escape the cramping limitations that men had imposed on their lives through the flight of their artistic imagination into what she calls "felicitous space." Every human being, according to the mathematician Henri Poincaré, whom she quotes, takes his own body as an instrument of measurement to construct a space of instinctive geometry that his imagination can then amplify into a greater space where he can lodge his universe. Women, trapped in the home, excluded from the marketplace, had to use their vision to create a larger world in which to breathe.
Opinions have differed sharply in the last hundred years on how much consideration literary critics should give to an author's life. From Sainte-Beuve's exhaustive relation of biographical facts to events and characters in fiction we have swung to more austere academic methods of isolating the work itself, to the modern psychobiography where literature operates as evidence to the would-be analyst. Fryer's method of using the author's life as another of her works strikes me as the most fruitful.
Edith Wharton not only housed her characters with a richness of detail equaled only by Balzac (Edmund Wilson called her the poet as well as the pioneer of interior decoration); she built and bought sumptuously for herself. She erected a great country manor, The Mount, in the Berkshires; she furnished and adorned the Pavillon Colombe in St. Brice-sous-Forêt near Paris and Ste. Claire-le-Château at Hyères on the Riviera, and designed elaborate formal gardens for all three places. The prevailing rule in her creations, as expressed in The Decoration of Houses which she wrote with Ogden Codman, was order. As Fryer puts it: "The careful symmetry allows for no unexpected mingling of servants and masters, no penetration of guests into private quarters, no romantic hermitages in the gardens, but rather a kind of social interaction that is carefully planned, controlled, deliberate."
The masculine world was disordered, untidy, and (as Wharton was to see for herself on a visit to the front in World War I) brutal. By putting sense and proportion into it, by creating rooms and gardens in which men and women could graciously intermingle, she was able to transform it into "a world of conversation and stimulation, of continuity and tradition." She never believed in a separate world for women.
Interiors played a dynamic role in Wharton's novels. In The…

The Trimble County High School boys and girls tennis teams plan to stop at nothing to bring home success in the 2009 season.
Along with losing two players to last year's graduation, the teams have started this season with some unaccustomed indoor practice. The previously used courts, located at the Trimble County Park, were dismantled two months ago, yet construction of new courts at the park has not been completed.
Despite the changes, however, coaches of the Raiders clubs have high hopes for a winning season.

Project by Roman - THE BOOTMAN | posted 07-11-2011 05:37 PM | 1271 views | 1 time favorited | 8 comments |
Scraps of wood makes you do funny things. The Siamese spoons, political correctness ' conjoined spoons' came from my cut-offs when I made a boot from a chunk of Mayday (Mammy Yokum's boot). Cutting the boot blank I had removed the bark and remnants of two branches. I didn't have the heart to separate the piece, hence the 'conjoined spoons'!
The other spoon came from a cut off when I did the boot from a mahogany skid. The holes are from the nails that I removed and I had the notion to call the spoon 'Hole-in-one' but since there were two holes the name 'Buckshot' came to mind
This spoon carving is a joy and I blame this diversion on Spoontaneous and LittlePaw. They made me go astray!!!
I will recover!

Please go "rec" this diary at DailyKos
Within seconds of the unfortunate death of a homeless man in Pioneer Park, the Utah freak-show cheered in unison; "SEE? We told you! The Salt Lake City occupiers are all homeless, drug addicts!"
For many Utahns, it was better than if the historicity of The Book of Mormon were provable.
I got pissed. I grabbed my video camera and went down to the new camp at Gallivan Center. I interviewed ONLY people who had or were still camping. All of them had jobs and NONE were homeless.
This is a snapshot of those interviews (Full interviews at OneUtah.org )
We can fight this plutocracy-funded propaganda by publishing many and often, ad hoc interviews of the regular Americans who are showing up for Occupy. We must do it locally, keep it "close to home." Keep it real.
Last Saturday, Newt Gingrich stepped up the smear campaign against Occupy Wall Street (I didn't know, you could get high on Cialis).
It was a full-guns-a-blazing frontal assault on every single American including the assholes that cheered when he said the "…after you take a shower" part. Check Mika Brzezinski's gut reaction.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Expect great things from Occupy Salt Lake City (OccupySLC)
For those of you who don't know, Salt Lake City is VERY liberal. We like to say, "Salt Lake is a world class city surrounded by Utah."
The massive show of police force for the Pioneer Park eviction on November 12th was clearly orchestrated by PERF/DHS. There were at least 4 policemen for every camper.
I'm SURE DHS threatened Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder with funding cuts to get him to mobilize every scrap of metal in the county with flashing lights.
SLC Mayor Becker was punked by DHS. He was so disgusted about having to evict the occupiers from Pioneer Park, he disappeared ("vacation") the next day. Chief (police) Burbank proved by his actions throughout the 2-year Tim DeChristopher sham trial, to be a great and respectful advocate of civil disobedience.
Christ, protesting in SLC, you practically have to BEG to get arrested. The authorities are on our side. If we can nudge them over, we will have won!

Their bowling has been the Royal Challengers Bangalore's bane in IPL 2012. They have struggled to pick early wickets and have left their star-studded batting line-up with too much work to do. When they prepared to take on the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, the stress was clearly on not allowing the opposition to get off to a flying start. With that in mind, they rattled the MI top order, leaving the hosts in tatters at two for two.
And it was Vinay Kumar who picked up both those wickets, in the first over that he bowled.
After RCB's nine-wicket win, he spoke to iplt20.com about the importance of the win given the net run-rate scenario. He also mentioned how the pressure of having to win all their games is bringing out the best in the team.
This was a convincing victory for you guys, but every match from this point forward is a must-win game.
It was a very important game for us and we pulled it off. Now we stand in the fourth place on the table. It's really good.
Sometimes, is it a blessing in disguise to be in a situation where you have to win all the games?
Yes, it is. We were in a similar position in South Africa and we won six or seven games in a row from there. We know how to come back from such [a] situation and we are taking each game as a knockout game.
RCB have struggled with the ball, especially in the powerplay overs. Was special stress put on changing that today?
In the last few games, we were not getting wickets in first six overs, and we discussed this a lot in the team meeting. We got it right today, in a very important game. I was glad to pick two wickets in my first over. This wicket does a bit in the initial overs and becomes a very good batting track later on. We were lucky to get early wickets.
You are just back from the injury. Are you happy to get your rhythm back?
I have been bowling well, but in this format sometimes even if you bowl well, you get hit for runs. Due to a small niggle I couldn't play the last game. I am happy to come back in a crucial game and perform well.
You have been paid one million dollars for a season. Does that put extra pressure on you to perform?
Sometimes it does play on my mind. However, if you keep thinking about it, you just can't do well. People often write derogatory [things] on Twitter about a player not deserving the money he's been paid. They don't understand that it's very easy to comment from there but being a bowler and performing is very difficult in this format. Even Dale Steyn – world's best bowler – went for 23 runs in an over in the last game. I don't think much about the amount I have been paid, I just go there and try to give my best.
The team management investing so much in you also shows the faith they have in your abilities. Does that push you to improve further?
For first three years, I was with RCB and then went to Kochi [Tuskers Kerala] and now I'm back here again. It's nice to be home and it's good that the management is supporting us.
RCB haven't done too well at home.
I would say that IPL is a rollercoaster ride. You can't really predict the result of the game, so you just have to give your best. We lost a few games at home, but now the team morale is high and we are aware of the fact that we have to win all the matches to make it to the playoffs.
You've played out some close games. Is the team happy to win one convincingly?
There have been a lot of last-over games in this IPL, but we won this game with 12 balls to spare. This win will help us with our net run-rate as well.

Sounds like you are set! That's way more than I started with. My first year was free pallets,two blacklights, a strobe that sometimes works and some cheap rubber masks.
If i had 5 acres, some partailly wooded, and an old house, would this be enough to begin on a haunted adventure? Can anybody give me an approximate start up cost? I only have $250,000. Is this enough??? I just ordered the book from the website from Kelly Allens. (Raycliff Manor) I just dont want to begin a dream that I am not financially prepared for. Any advise on getting started? I have all the workers I need to start the building, and farmers in the family for a small amount of corn. How much would you suggest spending on marketing the first year?
Thanks in advance,

And I bet you it was kick a$$, huh? Sometimes the simplest is the best!
Well, it all depends on how extravagant you want to go. Tons of animatronic props, or primarily actor driven(much cheaper). Set design and decoration can be pricey too, but you can easily keep it in a modest price range. Depending on your area, advertising can be pricey, but necessary.
In some business areas, people will say "build it and they will come". In this business(only open for 1 month out of the year)- people wont know its there unless you tell them its there.
There are many other things to say, but to keep it nice and simple, that should be more than enough for your start up cost.
And where will you be located?
Am I reading that right $250,000.00, 5 acres and a old house. DUDE, thats the hard part! You have all the capital you need to get started and then some. He// can I get a loan.lol.
Educate yourself as much as possible before you spend a dime towards the place.
Keep things inexpensive and you will be keeping your head above water no matter what happens.
Have you ever helped out in a haunt before?
You will find that if you do most of everything it takes to make it happen yourself that not only will you need many talents but also alot of energy.
Don't spend all of that money, save enough back for a new fast car, maybe a new Viper, then you can get the heck out of "Dodge" in a hurry if you ever have to! hahahah!
I could go on and on telling you about how I made my business but everyone has totally different circumstances and expectations and abilitys and just plain old LUCK, so most of my observations would mostly be moot point, I imagine.
When receiving advice just remember that nobody knows it all and different things work for diferent styles of haunts and national locations.

GOPer On Ad With Foley Killer: Journalist Not Depicted Out Of Respect
"Out of respect for the Foley family, no picture of James Foley was used," Weh campaign manager Diego Espinoza told Politico in an email published in the Morning Score newsletter. "Tom Udall's feigned outrage over the inclusion of a now familiar image of this Jihadi terrorist, who is clearly the face of the evil that threatens our nation. [sic] Senator Udall's comments about our diplomacy being 'good' reflect his naiveté and inexperience in matters of national security."
Similarly, the New Mexico Republican Party also defended the ad in a statement.
"The image of the ISIS member in the video is not to place any disrespect on the death of Mr. Foley or his family. Instead, it is a reminder of the danger our country faces all while our president hits the golf course," he said. "For a Senator to say he is confident with the 'diplomatic path our nation is on is a good one' – well that is just scary."
Espinoza's statement is in response to an ad for Weh, who is running to replace Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), that featured the masked man who appeared and beheaded foley in a video released to the public. The masked man's image appeared for only briefly and was in the middle of a video that otherwise featured President Barack Obama golfing with some quotes from Udall.
The man in the video has not yet been identified.
Text at the end of the video read "to change Washington, you must change your Senator."

{Commissioner Raul Pino}
Connecticut Drinking Water Week celebrated this week FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Connecticut Department of Public Health May 7, 2013 Contact: William Gerrish (860) 509-7270
Hartford Nearly one hundred Connecticut water systems are taking advantage of a federal loan program administered by the Department of Public Health (DPH) to purchase emergency power generators, state health officials today announced. Since 1998, DPH has offered low interest loans to help public water systems finance sustainable infrastructure improvements to improve water quality and protect public health through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), a federal loan program with interest rates below the market rate and repayment terms of up to 20 years. Last year, after multiple devastating storms, a new program was announced specifically to finance emergency power generators. To date, 39 water systems have used DWSRF loans to purchase emergency power generators. An additional 60 applications have been received for the installation of emergency power generators over the next two years. The total cost of the loan program is approximately $3.5 million. In the past two years, Connecticut has been hit with major weather events that have left thousands of people without one of lifes most critical necessities - safe drinking water, said DPH Commissioner Dr. Jewel Mullen. These loans are helping small water companies upgrade their systems so they will be prepared for future emergencies. After Tropical Storm Irene and a rare October Noreaster in 2011 left hundreds of thousands of utility customers without power, 206 public water systems were also left in the dark, leaving them unable to provide safe drinking water for their customers. Approximately 37,000 Connecticut residents were affected and asked to boil their tap water before consumption. Connecticut Drinking Water Week In recognition of National Drinking Water Week, Governor Dannel P. Malloy proclaimed May 5 through 11 Connecticut Drinking Water Week, encouraging residents to recognize drinking water as a precious public health resource and to help protect our source waters from pollution, practice water conservation, and become involved in regional and local drinking water issues. DPH is celebrating Connecticut Drinking Water Week by presenting awards to two individuals for their outstanding contributions to the health and safety of the states drinking water. Robert J. Longo, the Assistant Superintendent of Bristol Water Department, will receive the Certified Operator Public Health Drinking Water Merit Award and Wesley Winterbottom, a full-time faculty member at Gateway Community College, will receive the Educational Public Health Drinking Water Merit Award. The 2012 Environmental Quality in Connecticut report, released by the Council on Environmental Equality last month, stated Connecticut is among the very best states in delivering safe drinking water to customers of public water systems. The DPH Drinking Water Section is responsible for the administration of state and federal drinking water regulations and is dedicated to assuring the quality and adequacy of the states public drinking water sources. DPH provides technical assistance, education and regulatory enforcement to over 2,500 public drinking water systems, which provide drinking water to approximately 2.9 million Connecticut residents and visitors on a daily basis. The Connecticut Department of Public Health is the states leader in public health policy and advocacy with a mission to protect and promote the health and safety of the people of our state. To contact the department, please visit its website at www.ct.gov/dph or call (860) 509-7270. ### Content Last Modified on 5/7/2013 2:42:29 PM |

MILAN, Ohio — A 19-year-old Norwalk man was fatally injured in a single-car crash Tuesday night in central Erie County, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Todd Jordan, the driver who was trapped in the wreckage for a time, was taken to Fisher-Titus Medical Center in Norwalk, where he was later pronounced dead, according to the patrol's Sandusky post.
Mr. Jordan was northeastbound on Shaw Mill Road west of Plank Road in Milan Township about 9:50 p.m. when he failed to round a road curve, causing the car to cross the centerline and go off the north side of the road, striking a utility pole before coming to rest, troopers said.
The driver was wearing a safety belt, according to the patrol.
The crash remained under investigation.
Milan is about 70 miles southeast of Toledo.

Back Home and Baking
Hello everyone. Hope you're all well! To those of you in Queensland, Australia, my heart goes out to you. We just returned from Australia, and just missed the flooding that is now occurring in Victoria. Such a disaster. Damage is massive, so if you are interested in donating, click here.
I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things, now that we're back, but it didn't help that we had Christmas decorations to dismantle upon our return. I baked some cookies this weekend as I needed something to clean the house by. The best part was that I had all the ingredients in the cupboard. They're pretty flipping good - hope you like them.
Double Chocolate and Sour Cherry Cookies - makes about 30
8oz/250g unsalted butter, softened
12oz/350g light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped white chocolate
3/4 cup dried sour cherries
Preheat oven to 350f/180c. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir well. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt, and mix to just combined. Fold in the cherries and chocolate.
Place large spoonfuls of dough on parchment paper lined baking sheet, and flatten the dough slightly. Make sure to leave room, between each spoonful, for spreading. Top with an extra piece of white chocolate. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the bottoms are cooked. Cool on wire rack.
I will definitely be back soon! Now to catch up on your lovely blogs.
I leave you with a picture of my new Australian friend. He walked right up to us. Love him.

My friend was telling me about this great job she's being considered for, and while describing how fantastic it sounds, she cut herself off by saying, "I know, I shouldn't get too excited, it might not happen." Which prompted me to ask, why couldn't she get excited? What's "too" excited, anyway? She wasn't wetting herself (I don't think). And what's so dangerous about excitement? She's not insane; it's not like she's going to run out and buy herself engraved business cards with the new position she may or may not have. If she doesn't get the job, her disappointment will not be lessened by the knowledge that at least she didn't let herself get excited. (How unseemly that would have been!)
Sort of related: one day when I was around six, I was holding hands with my friend and skipping around like a goof, laughing uproariously, when I tripped and bonked my mouth on the gravel. As my mom mopped up my tears and bandaged my chin, I clearly remember her telling me this: "Laughter always leads to tears." I told my friends this years later, and it became a running joke whenever we laughed at anything: "We should stop," one of my friends would solemnly declare, "before the tears come."
Now, I may have misheard my mom; she may have meant "laughter while hopping up and down with your similarly uncoordinated friend will always lead to tears," but either way I think part of me believed the original statement, and still does, a little. I'm often concerned that I'll look foolish being happy and excited, because there's probably bad news lurking just around the corner. And I don't think I'm alone in that. I think many of us suspect that the Universe is going to see us feeling happy and confident and boldly carrying forth and it's going to be all, "Ah, good, now I know whom to take down a peg." And then everyone will laugh when we think we see a bee in the bathroom stall and run out screaming with our skirt hiked up to our waist. For instance.
It's all fantasy, of course. The Universe is busy with other things, like birthing galaxies and expanding. It's not looking askance at anyone for thinking too much of themselves. So why not be exactly as excited or pleased or hopeful as we're feeling? Just let ourselves be, for once? Cut ourselves a huge goddamn break? The disappointments and bad news will come no matter what we do, but meanwhile, keeping yourself in check in anticipation of that moment is just a terrible shame.

Sabzi Mandi
Sabzi mandi is a brand of supermarket located in New Jersey of United States, catering to the residing Indian community and operated by an Indian himself. They sell all kinds of fruits, vegetables, pulses, Indian sweets, other typical Indian food and also Indian dvds; and are famous for their low range of prices compared to other groceries in the neighbourhood. They operate out of New Jersey and have spread out to Canada as well.
Sabzi mandi are two Hindi words which mean vegetable market. Vegetable market here includes all fresh supplies required in an Asian kitchen. It is a chain of grocery stores in United States and Canada. The first outlet was established in 1995, at Iselin, in New Jersey. After a few years they opened their second outlet at Parsippany, in New Jersey and thereafter the third store at Sommerset in New Jersey. Soon after, and as they gained popularity for their special range of Indian food items, they expanded to Canada, in the year 2005. The Canadian store came to be known as D & G Sabzi mandi Cash & Carry and was spread across a magnanimous 8500 sq. ft. area. Last heard another store expanding over 11,000 sq. ft. located at Brampton, Ontario, Canada was opened in November, 2007. This outlet is located in the heart of the city thus making it easily accessible for one and all, providing their wholesome, friendly, clean service. This was also called the D & G Sabzi mandi Cash & Carry.
Sabzi mandi brand of grocery stores have managed to carve a niche for themselves, based solely on the availability of every unique Indian food item, desired by the residing Indian community. It is a speciality grocery store that specializes in Indian and South Asian ingredients. The business is run by an Indian family. Although it is not a BBB ( Better Business Bureau ) accredited business, Sabzi mandi enjoys great popularity and an excellent reputation not only in the Indian community but for Indian food lovers. They have an ATM facility, a free parking lot and accept most of the cards namely, American Express, Cash, Discover, Master Card, Visa and Debit Card. It operates seven days a week from morning 7 am to 8 pm in the night.
All Indian food lovers head out for one or other store of Sabzi mandi, scavenging for not so easily available Indian ingredients, across United States and Canada. They not only cater to the fruit, vegetable, pulses, rice, flours and spices requirement of Indian cuisine, but also stock freshly made Indian sweetmeats, without which any Indian festival celebration is incomplete. The Indian sweets are available in both regualar as well as vibrantly decorated gift packs, some even bearing a picture of the famous Hindu lord, Ganesha. Their services and products are not limited to food products alone. They also stock up a wide range of latest Indian film DVDs, another favourite of the residing Indian community.

Forums >Racing>Racing with my daughter - St. Jude Country Music Nashville Half Marathon
Official Results: Finished In: 02:11:16
Of course the stats don't tell the story - This was my 22 year old daughter's first half marathon and I promised way back to run her first one with her. Of course at the time I didn't know that we would be facing a drenching, hard rain for the whole event…with temperatures in the low 50s… with a nice wind. That's what I call the trifecta of challenging race conditions. But once we got going and got thoroughly soaked, we did just fine. I felt more sorry for the volunteers, spectators, and our "support crew" that had to endure all of that without the benefit of generating internal heat.
My daughter was awesome. Great pacing and powering through all the endless hills. She posted on Facebook afterwards that she'd remember us running I together forever. It doesn't get any better than that.
Of course after we stopped running, the cold set in again. I was standing in my hotel room an hour or so later still shivering even after a long ride in a warm car. But all in all it was a great adventure and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

by far the best part of your HM. you got me thinking of my older daughters & almost came to tears.
2 yrs ago my older daughter was a cross country solo trip (camping/hitting several national parks) to meet up with her best friend who moved to Maine. her trip ended several weeks early because of several reasons & so she came back home. While she was gone I was planning a solo camping trip on my way to visit my youngest daughter who was in n. calif. at the time. I had my main plans worked out but I remember oldest very shyly approaching me & asking if she could come. of course answer was yes. so we spent 2 weeks hiking/camping at Lassen National Park & then the same down around Placerville & back up through the Redwoods of N. Calif. (where she was born & l lived 30+ years). It was very special & will always be one of the best times of my life. ok now I am bringing myself to tears. and no it doesn't get any better than that!
Thanks for sharing Skyedog. I definitely teared up when I read what my daughter wrote on Facebook.
How easy it is to forget that time spent together, especially in a joint shared endeavor, is worth so much more than any physical gift or money. Things break, disappear, get used up, but memories can last a lifetime.

Playing their last home game of the year, Rosenborg BK know anything but victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen could edge them towards UEFA Europa League elimination while their guests are targeting a last-32 place.
• Rosenborg will need a win if they are to be sure of having something to play for on Matchday 6. A draw combined with anything but defeat for Club Atlético de Madrid in their home fixture against Aris Thessaloniki FC would also spell the end. Victory will send Leverkusen through.
Previous meetings
• A Patrick Helmes hat-trick helped Leverkusen beat Rosenborg 4-0 at the BayArena as the sides met for the first time on Matchday 1, in what was Leverkusen's first game against a Norwegian club.
• Rosenborg have played nine games against Bundesliga opponents with the record W1 D3 L5 (W0 D3 L1 at home). That sole victory was a 3-0 success at Borussia Dortmund on their first UEFA club competition trip to Germany on 19 October 1999. It was also the only time they ever kept a clean sheet against a German side.
Match background
• Rosenborg have lost four of their last five European games, barring a 2-1 home win against Aris on Matchday 2. However, the 2-1 defeat by Atlético last time out ended a six-match unbeaten run in Norway, and indeed a procession of four straight wins at the Lerkendal Stadium.
• Leverkusen are unbeaten in seven European games since a 4-1 loss to FC Zenit St Petersburg in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup quarter-finals. They have not lost an away tie since going down 3-2 at Hamburger SV in the round of 16 of the same competition.
Team facts
• This will be Leverkusen's 150th game in UEFA club competition. Their record in 149 previous games reads W66 D36 L47.
• A fine striker in his day, Leverkusen coach Jupp Heynckes won the 1972 UEFA European Championship and 1974 FIFA World Cup with West Germany, and also claimed four domestic titles, a German Cup and the 1974/75 UEFA Cup with VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach. As a coach, he also won two league titles with FC Bayern München. He took charge at Leverkusen in June 2009.
• Heynckes' Real Madrid CF played Rosenborg in the group stage on the way to winning the 1997/98 UEFA Champions League. Having won 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid lost 2-0 in Trondheim. It was their only defeat in Europe that season.
• Coach Nils Arne Eggen is a legend at Rosenborg, having played for the club in the 1960s and helped them win 11 Norwegian titles in succession as a coach from 1992 to 2002, though he took time off during the 1998 campaign.
• Eggen is helping out as caretaker manager following Erik Hamrén's move to take charge of Sweden. Stabæk Fotball coach Jan Jönsson will assume control on 1 January 2011.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's double inspired Paris Saint-Germain to a 3-0 win over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Ibrahimovic scored twice in the first half, sandwiching a Marquinhos strike, as PSG produced a superb performance at the Parc des Princes to leave themselves in firm control of Group C with six points from two matches.
Both sides headed into the game following convincing wins in their opening games against Olympiacos and Anderlecht, but it was the Ligue 1 champions who controlled this clash from start to finish.
Laurent Blanc made four changes to the PSG side tha
t beat Toulouse 2-0 on Saturday, with Alex replacing Zoumana Camara in defence, while Blaise Matuidi, Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi came in for Adrien Rabiot, Jeremy Menez and Lucas Moura.
Nicolas Gaitan and Filip Duricic returned to the Benfica team after being left out of the starting line-up for their 1-1 draw with Belenenses.
It did not take long for PSG to take the lead, as Ibrahimovic opened the scoring after just five minutes.
The Swedish striker met Gregory van der Wiel's right-wing cross to tap in to an empty net following an excellent through ball from Matuidi.
Blanc's men continued to dictate the play after breaking the deadlock as they starved Benfica of possession.
Matuidi saw an effort well saved Artur before Ibrahimovic almost forced an opening, but the hosts were eventually rewarded for their dominance with a superb second goal on 25 minutes.
Ibrahimovic was once again heavily involved as the former Barcelona and Milan man skilfully combined with Marco Verratti, who in turn played in Matuidi who pulled back for Marquinhos to find the net from point-blank range.
And the game was all but ended as a contest on the half-hour mark when Ibrahimovic headed Thiago Motta's pinpoint corner past a despairing Artur for his second of the game.
Benfica made one change at the interval as Lazar Markovic replaced Duricic but, although Ezequiel Garay tested Salvatore Sirigu in the early stages of the second half, they struggled to break down the hosts' organised defence.
The chances continued to flow as Miralem Sulejmani drew another save from Sirigu, before Ibrahimovic spurned a chance for a hat-trick, firing over after Artur could only parry substitute Adrien Rabiot's effort.
PSG still attacked as they looked to put the gloss on a wonderful display, with Cavani denied by a superb double save from Artur 16 minutes from time, but by that point the result had long been settled as PSG moved clear at the top of their pool.

Getting To Know... Julia Boserup
Published April 05, 2014 12:11
MONTERREY, México - Although her run finally came to an end in Friday's quarterfinals, Julia Boserup did her reputation - and ranking - no harm with her showing at the Monterrey Open.
Boserup first caught the eye when winning the Orange Bowl as teenager and after an injury-ravaged few years now looks set to fulfil her potential in the senior ranks.
After her quarterfinal, wtatennis.com tracked down the 22-year-old to talk about where she came from and where she is heading.
Can you tell us about your hometown and where you grew up?
JB: I grew up in Los Angeles but now I live in Newport Beach, California. I love living there!
Can you tell us a little bit about your family?
JB: Both my parents are from Denmark, so I have dual citizenship and speak Danish. The country is very close to my heart, as my whole family lives there and my sister just moved there, so I try to get back as much as I can to visit them. My dad is a mediator arbitrator and my mom used to be, but now she has her hands full with me! My sister is in Copenhagen now where she is an analyst for McKinsey & Company. I also have a half-brother and half-sister, who live in California as well.
How did you start playing tennis?
JB: I started playing when I was six, when I would tag along with my sister who was playing. I liked it straight away and ever since then I've been playing.
Can you talk about your current coaching setup?
JB: When I was younger, my first coach was Robert Lansdorp. Growing up, he taught me all my strokes and then when I was 13 I moved to Florida, trained with the USTA there for a few years, and now I'm based at the USTA training center in Carson, California, which is really nice because it's close to home and I can be with my family as well. I work under Leo Azevedo - he's my main coach but they also have loads of other great staff members who help me out as well.
Who were your tennis idols when you were growing up?
JB: I always looked up to Elena Dementieva, just because we have similar game styles and she was always really classy - she was always my favorite!
What's the best memory of your career to date?
JB: Probably winning Orange Bowl when I was 17. That was a pretty big moment for me, but hopefully my best moments are to come!
How would you describe your playing style?
JB: I'm a pretty aggressive player - I like to go for big shots. I'm mostly working on just being aggressive and trying to control the points, and also my movement, my fitness and developing my serve into a weapon.
What sort of off-court training do you do?
JB: Just the normal - a lot of hours in the gym and working closely with my trainer to keep my body strong and prevent future injuries. The last few years I've had quite a few injuries. I had a back injury that sidelined me for eight months last year and while this was unfortunate I think everything happens for a reason and it gave me some time to spend with my family and reset a little bit, which I was grateful for. Now I'm just happy to be back and healthy.
Who travels with you on tour at the moment?
JB: Right now, I'm on my own, coaching-wise, on the road, but I'm really lucky that my mom can come with me - we have a great relationship and have a ton of fun on the road.
What's your favorite surface and tournament?
JB: My favorite surface is hardcourt and my favorite tournament is Indian Wells.
What are your short and long-term goals?
JB: My short and long-term goals are just to keep improving, stay healthy and just give it everything I have to see how far I can go.
What do you do to relax away from the court?
JB: In my free time I spend a lot of time doing homework. I go to Penn State University, but I take all my classes online. I'm more than halfway through my bachelor's degree in psychology, which I started about three years ago, and that keeps me pretty busy! I always have in the back of my mind, like, 'Oh, my assignment's due on Sunday night', but I actually like this because it gives me something else to think about when I'm not playing tennis and I also love learning.
What would you be doing if you weren't a tennis player?
JB: Oh, I'd be a doctor. I don't know what type of doctor, but I've always just kind of wanted to be one!

UKIP man Eric Kitson 'a bit of a fool really'
13 May 2013 Last updated at 22:24 BST
UKIP officials are investigating claims a new Worcestershire councillor posted offensive material about Muslim people on Facebook.
Eric Kitson, who won the Stourport-on-Severn seat on 2 May, said he shared racist cartoons and jokes only to show people how "disgusting" they were.
He said he was sorry for any offence caused and denied he was a racist.
He said he was "not a politician, I'm a bit of a fool really".
Mr Kitson said he was considering resigning from his post.

We Still Don't Know If This Logo Is Racist Or Not.Tommy Craggs5/15/09 3:20pmFiled to: RedskinsLogoLegal MattersChief WahooFake indian dancing at halftime54EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA federal appeals court just sank a coup de grace through a 17-year-old lawsuit claiming the Redskins logo is offensive. Naturally, the judges left unanswered the question of whether the logo is, in fact, offensive.AdvertisementHere's how the Associated Press puts it:The decision issued Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington doesn't address the main question of racism at the center of the case. Instead, it upholds the lower court's decision in favor of the football team on a legal technicality.The court agreed that the seven Native Americans waited too long to challenge the trademark first issued in 1967.The ruling here is that the activists had slept too long on their rights — that there is, in effect, a statute of limitations on outrage, which seems a little off, but since there's a lacy French word for this whole doctrine (laches), I'll assume that smarter people than I have thought this through.AdvertisementThere's apparently a similar lawsuit waiting in the wings that would neatly sidestep this laches question. This means we're in for another decade of earnest handwringing over a logo that I think most of us can agree is painfully stupid, though relatively palatable in a world that still countenances Wahoo and demands the return of Chief Naperville.

The trailer for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, has made its decapitating debut.
The film is a reimagination of the ubiquitous 1812 Grimm fairy tale that was meant to scare German children from wandering from their log cabins. Now, it will be used to scare those broom-riding, baby-baking-bitches from doing anything ever.
Starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular sibling duo, they've gone from leaving trails of breadcrumbs in the woods to slaying evil witches and burning them with wood until all that's left resembles breadcrumbs.
Check out the trailer below, which hits you with an automatic crossbow of ass-kicking.
With a level of historical authenticy similar to other recent action films with pseudo-steampunk sensibilities like Van Helsing, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and (appropriately enough,) The Brothers Grimm, this trailer is a one-stop cavalcade of modern action film conventions filled with giant eye-beating battles, slow-motion walk-aways from explosions, and, of course, even some Matrix arches.
They survived the traumatic childhood experience of getting kidnapped and nearly cooked by a witch. Much like Batman, they were not about to let that chip just fly off their shoulders. That's bad news for witches everywhere.
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters kills high-speed witches in the woods with stolen Ewok tactics on January 11, 2013.

Skinny People Going on and on about their diet and exercise

Thanks Renee,
I know that to get where I want to be and make the changes I want to make, I'm going to have to really think about it and talk about it alot, but I'm just hoping that someday a fit lifestyle is the new normal and I don't have to obssess over it. I guess I'm jealous of people that are there and look great and then hearing them talk about how awful they feel about eating one doughnut or how they ran 3 miles that morning and it wasnt enough because they only feel they have really worked out i they run 6+ miles..it just makes me want to scream! i would be thrilled to be able to stop at just one doughnut or anytime I have ever run 3 miles, I am extremely proud of myself!
Anyway, I know the focus has to be on what is my next small positive change and how any choice I make today influences my success tomorrow. And I can't compare myself to others.
I had a skinny mocha at starbucks and turned down the temptation to order a sausage biscuit. I am having green beans and grilled chicken for lunch and now that I have been cleared again for moderate exercise by the doc today ( I had a heart procedure a week ago) I plan to walk a few miles over the weekend. I know from past experience that the hardest part is getting started.

Thanks for your kind words. Like many other reviewers, it takes some time to put a review together. Different reviewers have different ways of expressing themselves, as I have my own way; often underlooked, yes, but appreciated when noticed. For me, it isn't about how many fragrances I can review, or how popular I can become. I enjoy reviewing, and love fragrances, and the art of perfumery. Thank you for reading my reviews, plenty more to come.

My college roommate made sandwiches out of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting and bread. The only snack that's come remotely close to grossing me out as much is Trader Joe's new "Cookie Butter," which is essentially a jar of almond butter mixed with Dutch Speculoos cookies. But to some—like Fitnessista, who blogged about how to make a homemade version recently—this could be considered a healthy treat.
Nutrition facts aren't available online, but rumor on bodybuilding.com's forum has it that TJ's contains trans fats (likely from the cookies). Which tips the scale in favor of my original judgement: This is pretty much a gross-out snack. On the other hand, pairing cookies with almond butter will at least help maintain your blood sugar levels better than a dessert that contains no protein: This is, in fact, a healthier treat than say, a stack of Oreos.
So what's the verdict? Cookie butter is what it sounds like: A dessert. And to some, it's a good one. Jo Deeangdeelert Cho of Oh Joy is quickly spreading rumors that it tastes amazing:
There is a thing called cookie butter which I discovered over the weekend and am currently in love with. My friend Caroline suggested it, and I'm sort of eating it by the spoonful now. Inspired by the Dutch Speculoos spread, the cookie butter from Trader Joe's has the look and consistency of peanut butter but tasty like gingerbread biscuits in a spreadable form. It's like comfort and Christmas in a jar. Someone on Twitter suggested adding a touch of sea salt, which adds a nice contrast to the sweetness to the cookie butter on top of toast.
As desserts go, this one is relatively healthy, but like the other favorite dessert-for-breakfast spread, nutella, it doesn't make a healthy snack.
UPDATE: Want to know more about the nutrition facts of Trader Joe's Cookie Butter? Or how it tastes? We researched. Check it out.

The 10 Historical Figures Who Didn't Do What You Think They Did
5. Charles Lindbergh
Source: MPI/Archive Photos/Getty Images
It's one thing to say that someone missed being the first at something by a few months or even years. It's not a deliberate alteration of the truth. It's just another victim of the slow news cycle.
Lindbergh, however, was far from the first to cross the Atlantic by plane by himself. He was 13th. His was just the first to come with its own electrifying public relations campaign. And this is not an attempt to minimize his accomplishments in strength and aviation. It's simply a clarification. Although having to spend four hours on a plane with nothing to watch but Herbie: Fully Loaded should be considered an equally historic achievement.
4. Eliot Ness
Source: AFP/Getty Images
The so-called "Untouchable" sounds like the kind of folk hero that could make Indiana Jones doubt his own existence. The truth is the real Indiana Jones accomplished more in real life than Chicago's gritty cop...even though there is no such person.
His most famous claim to fame was the inevitable breakdown of notorious crime boss and bootlegger Al Capone. Not only did Ness fail miserably at his attempt to bring Capone down on any criminal charges, it was actually IRS Special Agent Frank J. Wilson who brought the tax evasion charges to trial and ended up with a successful conviction. And if you doubt that, take it up with the IRS. They won't hold it against you when you're being audited the very next day.
3. The Brothers Grimm
Source: Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann/Wikipedia
Some of the world's most timeless stories and fairy tales come from the books put out by these famous brothers, perhaps even more famous than the Mario Bros., the Smothers Brothers, and the Baldwin brothers combined (if you don't count Daniel).
However, it should be noted that the boys did not actually write the fairy tales. They collected them from various local folklore and traditional storytellers and published them in a single volume. In fact, some of the original versions have gone through a morbid game of "Telephone" as they were passed down through the generations from their twisted beginnings. For instance, in the story of Cinderella, the enslaved beauty doesn't leave a crystal slipper for her prince-to-be. It's actually a furry slipper made from the skin of a squirrel and her evil stepsisters actually cut off parts of their own feet to fit their big honkin' dogs in it. Either way, I'm sure Disney could come up with an annoying tune to accompany the narrative.
2. Abner Doubleday

There is nothing more American than baseball. Deep fried hot dogs? Sure, it's close but nope, not as American. Monster trucks? They're fun to take on carpool rides, but nope. Truck Nuts? Maybe if they are incorporated in either of the previous two, but not by a long shot.
This Civil War hero has long gotten the credit for creating the game that gave America something else to do while drinking and injecting ourselves with steroids. He's even been given credit by the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, but the false idea that he created the game actually came from a Colorado mining engineer who claimed that he saw Doubleday draw the design for the first game with a stick in the dust. Never mind that the game had already been played for almost 100 years (or maybe it was just a single game that felt like it was going on for 100 years).
1. Abraham Lincoln

Perhaps the most famous influential President in U.S. history, Lincoln has long been the stuff of legend. His birth, life, and death reads like the story of Jesus, Superman, and Ash from Evil Dead all rolled into one, minus the resurrection, ability to fly, or awesome defeat of mystic zombies with a chainsaw hand. Then again, Lincoln probably had some hobbies.
None is more infamous than the unique tale of events leading up to the historic Gettysburg Address, a speech that was so brilliant it united a nation based on a few simple words he supposedly wrote during a stagecoach ride on the back of an envelope. The speech might have been written quickly because of the press for time, but not during the span of a coach ride, especially since he had written several drafts of the thing before he delivered it. And besides, if the legend was true, I'm sure it also would've put an end to the feud between cats and dogs, the Hatfields and the McCoys, and the East and West Coast gangs long before they even started.
