So, you can guarantee that your custom coffee table will be unique, consummately functional, and everything you want it to be to complement your existing living space.
Have you ever wanted to make a book fit on a shelf of a bookshelf and thought you might have to cut the book down to fit in?
And then you wondered if the bookshelf makers forgot that you have an extensive collection of uniquely sized books – definitely not standard sizes like all the shelves seem to be when you try and use a store-bought or pre-fabricated bookshelf. Well, search no more – the solution you've been waiting for is here and it's more awe-inspiring than you'd ever think for something as mundane as a bookshelf.
designed by Johannes Schmucker
Have you ever stopped to watch an Orca whale? Michael Schluetter and his friend Johannes Schmucker, a famous German furniture designer, did – and they were inspired to create the Orca wine shelf to mimic the dynamic undulations of this majestic animal – and, yes, it was because they wanted a place to put all their family's treasures (bottles of wine) in their home.
Where do you display your wine? May we suggest a beautiful and unique Orca wine shelf?

Picture of the Week
Elite Squad
Elite Squad: The Enemy Within
I stumbled upon the second of Jose Padilha's Brazilian cop thrillers first. The more available of the two (on Netflix instant watch) the film caught my immediate interest and left me stunned. A month later I tracked down a copy of the first film and completed in reverse order a pair of films that some might compare to having the relationship and power of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.
However, Padilha's films are more reminiscent of two sources: Scorsese gangster films (Goodfellas and Casino) and because of its setting, subject matter and shooting style (City of God). The film uses a narrator like all three of those and is told in a broken up structure. Nevertheless, the Elite Squad movies stand on their own as relentless and effective works of cinema.
The story follows a cop Nascimento (played by actor Wagner Moura) as he moves up in the ranks of Brazil's toughest/meanest police division BOPE (the elite squad of the title). They wage war against the drug trade in Rio de Janeiro. In both films the protagonist struggles with the temptation to leave the force (based on pressures from his wife) or to stay in the fight, surrounded by corruption even in his own squad. He tries to find an adequate replacement who can take on the almost Batman-like justice he serves upon the city, which introduces various police officers including actor Andre Ramiro (who crosses over in both films).
Nascimento is one of the most intriguing characters I have seen on time in a while. At once stern and stoic, Wagner Moura gives him moments of emotional vulnerability, frustration and compassion which add up to a complex (I hate to use the term) anti-hero. Some might call him a fascist (with his Wyatt Earp brand of killing justice), his torture techniques and his merciless attitude towards drug dealers and corrupt cops, but in the end he is only a man caught in the middle of a terrible situation doing his best to make his country better. He's Serpico with the madness of Jeremy Renner's Hurt Locker character and like Renner, Wagner Moura is one of the most exciting actors working today. He is also wonderful in the film V.I.Ps and will soon play Italian director Federico Fellini in a film. Here he creates a character who resonates far past the confines of the film's running time and holds his place in film history.
What Padilha (who actually considers this a trilogy with his debut documentary Bus 174) has created with these films is a crime epic on the level of James Ellroy's L.A. Quartet novels. It is ambitious, spanning corruption from the streets to the police departments to the press and politicians. I am impressed by how relentless the film is, unapologetic about its portrayal of a situation with no easy answers.
The second Elite Squad was the most successful film to ever be released in Brazil, beating out Avatar's gross in that country. Since then its director has made the move to America and will direct the remake of Robocop. Though that story provides him the opportunity to flex his muscles in similar subject matter, I cannot help but worry about the direction of his career and wish he had stayed in Brazil like many other foreign directors who lost something in their move to Hollywood: Peter Weir, Paul Verhoeven, Roman Polanski, etc.
One can only hope that regardless of the money Padilha continues to make good films.

Omens are individual language in which God talks to you. My omens are not your omens. They are this strange, but very individual language that guides you toward your own destiny. They are not logical. They talk to your heart directly. The only way you can learn any language is by making mistakes. I made my mistakes, but then I started to connect with the signs that guide me. The silent voice of God that leads me to the places where I should be. – Paulo Coelho, author The Alchemist (an interview by Laura Sheahen, for Beliefnet)
When 2011 spring boarded, I never had any inkling as to what the future entails me. Few days before the New Year, I was jobless. Like for most part of my life, I gave everything to fate. I deeply surmise that whatever I've gone through my career is an experience itself. They are life lessons I can bring to any path I wish to take. I know through faith in Him, I can surpass any obstacles. I can be whatever I want to be. I started to fuel my faith by engaging myself to religious creeds and acts. 2011 then is a year to rekindle my faith. It is a time to get serious with God, know Jesus and his miracles, and learn how to be a faithful servant. When I felt I need to do something more, I attended to St. Jude Thaddeus Novena every Thursday, prayed the rosary everyday with lighted candles, visited several churches in the metro and read the bible. I listened fervently to Bible readings and priest's sermons. I read a lot of religious books and if I felt it was not enough, I meditated in the hopes I can hear God, and be able to listen to what He has to say to me.
In other words, my spiritual consciousness got triggered. It was a year of self-reflection. I asked myself a lot of questions. I started to listen to myself. I looked for answers in my everyday existence. I observed a lot of people. I rekindled my relationship to friends, opened up to them. I sought answers by listening to our priest, by eavesdropping to my parent's church conversations, by listening to music, by reading gargantuan number of stuff, by watching movies and TVs, by staying at home, and observing our family. Once, I tried reaching out to someone of a born again faith. I ventilated my present tribulations, prayed until tears fell from my eyes. I believed that if I keep my faith, and that I keep on having a healthy relationship with God, everything will just be a breeze. It is on this year, I learned that if I have God as a center of my life, my happiness is infinite. I tried all avenues – including self-taught meditations and learned that spirituality is not only embracing it through your own. Spirituality breeds in relationship with people. I learned meditation techniques including those of igniting chakras. It was still not enough and all happened in one year.
2012 ushered in and just with a snap, I halted my religious senses. I had STRONG patience, so I thought. Quickly the reality set in. The irony though, is how slow it has taken me to realize that I'm going nowhere. I suddenly felt the feeling of having a blindfold across a wall. I started to walk, I tried to climb, to run and what I get are contusions from trying to go through the partition. Believe me, it was just hard.
I started to study concepts.I need to shy away from what's depressing. I don't care how weird it is, but whatever catches my attention and curiosity, I readily set myself into. I started to like something not ordinary. I wanted something new. I wanted something unique. I can't have a continuous routine. I will just die liking the same things over and over again. I needed a hero to grab my neck and raise me from suffocation.
It's when the time I started to learn and appreciate Celtic music. I took the time to read and study stock markets. I did whatever is not ordinary to some. It's also the time I started to question things and despise every mystery of the world. I started to feel the need to find answers to those questions I demand to know. I studied astronomy through documentaries. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME.
The more I seek God, the more I find myself alone and sad. I started to question the fundamentals of religion. What has it brought into my life? I want to find the truth and through reading history and learning from several people, I deduce things that lead me to strong belief against my religion. Just like the twin towers of WTC, my faith in religion came crashing down. I will never see any organized religion the same way again.
I'm still in the process of fully accepting agnosticism in my life. Since first Sunday of 2012, I never attended any mass. I don't like being associated with any religion. I can say I'm not searching anymore. I felt inner peace. Surprisingly, my view about my life changed tremendously. Guilt was erased, and I feel free from the clutches of what people have to say. It's liberating. My belief now stems from the fact that the Universe has its own course and that we are affected by it. I'm not sure what to label it, but for me, it was just fundamentally right to begin with that thought, with that concept.
Do I still believe in God? I really don't know. I maybe a freethinker, but a-not-so intelligent type for that matter. I'm in the process of profound reading.
Just as I was contemplating the Universe, I recently closed a Paolo Coelho book entitled The Alchemist. It was the first time in my entire life to read a book with so much intensity. I felt it was relevant to what I'm going through. It's a shame to have read it just now. Nonetheless, I felt overwhelmed at the same time joyous that in my course of finding for a plausible answer in my life's intricacies, I found one.
Paolo Coehlo is my omen.

Reader: Mark Douglas Nelson
The book: How great would it be to live in a world without death and without need? Would everyone be happy? Would everything be perfect? In his first novel, Cory Doctorow imagines a not-so-distant future in which people have the ability to upload their consciousness into a digital format, allowing them to "restore from backup" should anything go wrong with their physical bodies, such as death. Problems of food supply, basic needs, and pollution have been taken care of through technological advance, so there's no need for money as we think of it. Instead, people accumulate "whuffie," a digital currency based on social standing and creative accomplishments.
In this society, the protagonist Jules is living in Disney World and working on restoring the animatronics to the vision of the park's engineers. This puts him at odds with others who would like the attractions to be updated to the latest brain-immersive technology. If this doesn't seem like an incredibly important conflict, then we're in agreement. While the ideas and world expressed in this book are fascinating, the story and characters fall a bit flat.
Rating: 7 / 10
Reader: Mark Douglas Nelson has a radio announcer's voice that's clear and expressive. His declamatory style can seem a bit corny sometimes, but I've rather have his voice than someone who doesn't care. The recordings have a bit of music played over the beginning and end of each section, but the story itself is unaccompanied and clean.

The Digital Age Demands Diversity: A Roundtable Discussion
Online Learning Industry experts and leading voices sound off on how we can encourage more women to train for digitally based jobs, and why it's vital.
Donna Boyer
Mediaplanet: As a Girls in Tech Board Member, how can you help encourage women to join and attain careers in the tech and STEM space?
Donna Boyer: Encouraging women to work in tech starts with exposure, education and empowerment. Girls in tech programs range from mentoring with experienced executives to coding boot camps to pitch competitions, providing women and young girls world-wide opportunities to gain the skills, the connections and the confidence to launch a successful tech career.
MP: What are your top three tips to being a successful leader?
DB: There are many ways to lead well, but what all successful leaders have in common is the ability to inspire, empower and mobilize their teams. The people who work for you at every level are continually turning big asks into new realities, and they can only do that when you've given them the information and motivation to make it happen day after day.
MP: How can we encourage employers and entrepreneurs to foster a diverse community of tech leaders to women and minorities?
DB: Encouraging a diverse community starts from the top, which means leaders need to truly understand the benefits of diversity at the senior level and embrace diversity throughout their organization. At the heart of this is recognizing merit and fostering inclusiveness as core to a company's culture.
Lawdan Shojaee
Mediaplanet: As a Girls in Tech Board Member, how can you help encourage women to join and attain careers in the tech and STEM space?
Lawdan Shojaee: My team and I are so passionate about encouraging women to attain careers in STEAM, that we started the #ItWasNeverADress initiative to empower women and acknowledge that all genders can be equally successful in the tech industry and beyond.
Part of this initiative is to inspire the next generation to pursue STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) fields. To help create access and opportunity for STEAM education, Axosoft hosted a community-focused conference for girls between the ages of 12 and 17. During these critical years, most girls struggle with confidence issues and lose interest in STEAM fields. The inaugural #ItWasNeverADress STEAM Conference was held July 18th – 19th, 2015 and brought girls from across Arizona together to build their skills, confidence and interest in STEAM.
We successfully inspired these young women to see that technology can create amazing, impactful change in the world and can also be a lot of fun! I believe that influencing the next generation is one of the best ways to increase future representation of women in STEAM fields. I believe so strongly in this mission that I don't measure the ROI for event like this based on my company's bottom line; I measure ROI based on the impact we are able to make in the lives of young girls and women. As a Girls In Tech Board Member, I plan to do everything I can to push this mission forward using my passion to guide me.
MP: What are your top three tips to being a successful leader?
LS: Stay curious, and always listen before responding.
Allow your team to learn from you by showing them the importance of leading and following. Learning how to step back and let someone else on your team take the front seat is just as much a leadership skill as taking charge.
Know your limitations and surround yourself with smart people who have skills that complement yours. But don't be afraid to hire smart, talented people that will challenge your strengths and keep you on your toes. Remember, regardless of whom you bring onto your team, to resist hiring solely for need; hire first for cultural fit, then based on skill and finally based on your need.
MP: How can we encourage employers and entrepreneurs to foster a diverse community of tech leaders to women and minorities?
LS: We need to showcase the smart, strong, successful women that are currently in these roles. Each person who shares their story of success has the opportunity to influence and encourage others.
Monique Jeanne Morrow
Mediaplanet: As a Girls in Tech Board Member, how can you help encourage women to join and attain careers in the tech and STEM space?
Monique Jeanne Morrow: The competitiveness of all companies is reliant on how well they tap technology to drive business innovation. Increasingly, this means embracing the explosion of connected devices and the many new e-services and touch points that are emerging and being enabled through mobility and cloud computing and even more so in cyber security.
As a Girls in Tech Board member, showing women that they can develop their own path and have impact in a technology career is pivotal. I am most committed in demonstrating this power of the AND accordingly.
Tech companies and non-tech companies alike need women. Women are already leading in the adoption of technology across nearly all Internet-enabled devices. They have driven the explosive popularity of texting, e-shopping, and social networking, while buying more e-readers and connected healthcare devices.
As technology continues to impact our lives, workers need to acquire new skills and approaches to succeed. The pace of change and innovation is accelerating faster than ever before; creating a new approach to the way we work, live, play and learn.
Today, we must be fearless—taking risks, overcoming obstacles, blazing new trails and fighting through adversity. Yes, it's a bold call of action here for everyone.
MP: What are your top three tips to being a successful leader?
MM: My top 3 tips to be a successful leader may be summarized as follows:
Be comfortable in risk taking and with ambiguity. Move yourself out of you comfort zone or else you will be moved and you may not like the move.
Passion and collaboration for influence are critical factors for driving towards aspired goals, yet knowing when to let go is also critical.
Be generous with your peers. This is a small world and you never know where you will end up.
MP: How can we encourage employers and entrepreneurs to foster a diverse community of tech leaders to women and minorities?
MM: To capture a piece of this crucial new Internet of Everything market, companies must develop and deploy two kinds of diversity: inherent—meaning more women and people of color make up the workforce—and acquired—meaning leaders behave inclusively to foster the speak-up culture that unlocks a broad spectrum of perspectives and toolkits.
Once women and minorities connect, they engage; once they engage, they embrace; once they embrace, they drive. And that's the future. It is the Internet of Women; it's the Internet of Everyone, now how cool is that?
The opportunities are nearly limitless when we connect the unconnected with the right talent. Fostering a community of tech leaders that include women and minorities must be a very clear priority for companies and entrepreneurs and that affirmation starts from the very top—or else you have a watered down, nodding affirmatively and nothing-gets-done situation.
Simply put: If you cannot see it, you cannot be it! You will either have a hall of fame or a walk of shame reality. And success will be that these issues will be so ingrained in our DNA. We no longer have to talk about them anymore; it's the new normal. Could we envisage as a society in the 21st century to be that new normal?

Today will be my last blog post till we're back home again and settled. Leaving tomorrow for all day travel. Then into Saskatoon for an overnight, some errands on Saturday, then picking up little Jakey and making the 4 hour drive home from the kennels.
Today we drove to Winter Haven, about an hour's drive from Orlando, to Legoland. We found it hard to find as it wasn't in our GPS and has little for road signs. We had to stop a few times to ask for directions and make sure we were going the right way, but did find it after all.
Legoland is geared alot for families with kids 2-12, but we did love the Miniland and Cypress Gardens, as being our favorite "adult" spots. The famous Banyan Tree below was planted in 1939 as a seedling. What a cool tree! Part of Cypress Gardens.
Lots of these cool Lego figures around the park as well!
And Gerry in Miniland below- with the Las Vegas set.
Be sure to check out their online park map and check out the park before you go. We also stopped for a delicious pizza lunch while there, at their pizza and pasta buffet. Weren't there a long time, as it started storming and raining again, like most of our days have been here, by early afternoon. A few of the attractions as well were closed due to the weather. The humidity has really gotten the best of us as well while we've been here- it just drains you.
I was told best time to come to Orlando to beat the humidity and heat is October- December.
We had a day spa visit at 6 pm today too- went for a pedicure with a paraffin treatment for me and Gerry had the manicure with paraffin treatment at the Venchi Day Spa in Orlando. They have a great staff and nice clean spa, if your in this area, treat yourself!
Well, that's our day- mixed in with supper at Johnny Rockets again- (another location), some final souvenir shopping and some time in the room to stay caught up with emails, blogging and the like.
That's all for me though- talk to everyone when we're back home again.

Fen Phen Review | Best Fat Burners
Fen Phen is a weight loss stimulant that acts very similarly to an amphetamine. This fat burning drug acts as an appetite suppressant on the central nervous system. When combined with diet and exercise, Fen Phen might be able to help solve problems with obesity and other health-related issues. Read this Fen Phen review to learn why it failed to rank on our list of the Top 10 Fat Burners.
Fen Phen – It's Really Just A Drug
Fen Phen likely truly works for a great many people, but side-effects and long-term health implications should always be considered before ingesting such an aggressive drug. You know, around these parts, we are hyper-focused on natural fat burner solutions, so we are biased. Always do your research and talk to your medical professional before taking a medication such as Fen Phen.
The Benefits Of Fen Phen
The following are claimed benefits of taking Fen Phen
- Supressed appetite
- Increased focus
- Boost in energy
What Is Fen Phen?
Fen Phen is a brand name for the generic chemical known as phentermine. This stimulant's purpose is to help overweight/obese people lose weight, when they are unable to get normal results on their own. Fat burning supplements are usually a great help on your journey to losing weight, but getting the wrong supplements can cause negative side effects, a lack of results, and a prolonged amount of usage.
Natural fat burning supplements are the best way to go about shedding pounds as quickly as possible while avoiding any negative side effects that can leave you feeling disheartened and uncomfortable.
Being overweight can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart conditions that can one day prove fatal. While finding a solution to losing weight can be difficult and time-consuming, utilizing the right ingredients can help make your journey much easier.
Natural ingredients for burning fat have been proven time and time again to help stimulate your metabolism, increase your energy levels, and give you the consistent motivation you need to accomplish your goals.
While using prescription chemicals like Fen Phen may show some results, the side effects are usually pretty uncomfortable. In addition to that, there are several different restrictions to taking this medication.
How Does Fen Phen Work?
Fen Phen works by utilizing two drugs known as phentermine fenfluramine. This amphetamine-like substance stimulates your metabolism and gets your blood flowing. This allows your body to burn more calories at rest, gives you more energy to go to the gym, and also can keep you focused on things other than eating. There are many known fenfluramine side effects that people taking Fen Phen should know about.
Fen Phen Side Effects
There were many different side effects that were reported among users who took Fen Phen. Some of the more common side effects experienced include drowsiness, dry mouth and diarrhea. Others experienced dizziness, hysteria, anxiety, sleeplessness, constipation, stomach pains, blurry sight, fever, and cardiovascular diseases. None of that sounds good, does it?
Individually, phentermine and fenfluramine were known to cause side effects, and combining them did not help the problems associated with taking them at all.
Why Was Fen Phen banned?
Fen Phen was banned when people started becoming aware to the risks that were associated with taking them. The most dangerous risk of taking this prescription drug for weight loss was the potential damage to the valves in your heart. Many people were unaware that such a serious side effect could occur from taking Fen Phen and due to that fact, it was banned.
Even after stopping the prescription drugs, it was still apparent that the damage to your heart was not something that could be reversed. This lasting damage from taking Fen Phen made it quickly fall in popularity and usage among obese and overweight individuals.
The Pros
- Effective for weight loss
- Could help obese people
- Worked quickly
The Cons
- Became a banned substance
- Has caused serious side effects

Jerk chicken
Uncowed by your heartfelt indifference, we once again plead with you. Add a Caribbean tinge to your summer. This is what cricket tours are all about. They may be shorter than they used to be, but each cricket season is still distinctive thanks to whoever's touring that year. At present we've got the West Indies.
Make loads of jerk chicken.
It may seem a bit clichéd, but it's a good idea. Jerked meat's really nice. The mix on the right's the best we've found - perhaps better than making your own. What better way to enrich your experience of the third Test than with some jerk chicken wings and probably a load of rum. Maybe the sun will even shine, unlike in London and Leeds during the first two Tests.
We've another suggestion yet - quite a heartfelt recommendation on this occasion - but we'll save that for next week. Any suggestions of yours are more than welcome - even though most of them will clearly be ludicrous.

OK, obviously this has spoiler potential, so read at your own discretion.
A few people have mentioned being unable to keep everyone alive in the final mission of the game, so I opted to write this small guide to help out.
firstly, the more people you have loyal, the better chance you'll have of keeping everyone alive. Loyalty makes them fight harder and makes them tougher to kill. Ideally you'll want to have everyone who is possible to be loyal at this point, to be loyal. And of course, having recruited all squad members will have helped significantly, and I will write this with the assumption you have done so. You will also need to have made all possible upgrades to the Normandy.
During the course of it you will have to assign people various roles. It's very important to choose the right people. The most important thing is that you do not send anyone who is disloyal, they will die.
*For the vent infiltration, send either Tali, or Legion. Sending anybody else, with the possible exception of Kasumi, will get them killed.
*For the fire team leader, select either Garrus, Miranda or Jacob. Anybody else will get your technician killed.
*For the biotic specialist, choose Jack or Samara/Morinth. Anybody else, someone dies.
*Same characters apply for the second fire team leader.
*For the escort, send either Jack, Mordin, Kasumi or Tali. Sending anyone else will make it more difficult for your rear guard to survive later. Sending a weak defender here, who will survive if loyal, increases your chances later on.
Now, your final team. Who you pick here is vital. If you definitely want to keep everyone alive, take the weakest defenders with you. Namely, Jack, Mordin, Kasumi or Tali. Do not take strong defenders; namely, Garrus, Zaeed or Grunt. The more strong defenders you leave behind, the more chance there is of keeping someone alive. You can also guarantee the safety of a disloyal crew member by taking them with you, but if they are a strong defender I recommend leaving them behind. I took Jack and Kasumi. Follow these instructions and you should be fine.
Lastly, a little bit of battle advice for harder difficulties. When I was playing this on Insanity, every Collector was equipped with a biotic barrier, which can be a pain. This doesn't really matter on anything below Hardcore, but I recommend keeping Miranda and Thane with you up until the final battle. As they both have the Warp ability (preferably upgraded to Heavy Warp), you'll cut through the barriers with no problem at all.

Ruoslahti Research Laboratories at UC Santa Barbara and Sanford-Burnham
Not Accepting Students at This Time
The underlying themes of Dr. Ruoslahti's work are tumor vasculature, metastasis and the use of targeted nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Tumors, like other tissues, contain both blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. A tumor needs blood vessels to be able to grow, and destroying tumor blood vessels is the basis of a promising new cancer therapy. Lymphatic vessels are not needed for tumor growth, but like blood vessels, the lymphatics are an important conduit of distant metastasis.
Dr. Erkki Ruoslahti is adjunct distinguished professor at UCSB and maintains a research laboratory at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., where he is a distinguished professor.

Autumn inspired, part 2
By Angie Sutton
Who doesn't love the season of pumpkin everything? Most recipes involving pumpkin likely call for a can of pure pumpkin puree. Simply meaning is it just that and nothing more than cooked, pureed pumpkin. This allows you to add a pinch of this seasoning or a teaspoon of that seasoning to create just the flavor you're looking for. Pumpkin pie filling is a convenience that is canned and pre-flavored with spices like cinnamon, cloves, allspice and ginger and is slightly sweetened.
The same goes for recipes calling for pumpkin pie spice. For those who may only make one or two recipes calling for this combination of cinnamon, ginger, all spice, nutmeg and cloves, the packed pumpkin pie spice works well. You may wish to add a pinch more cinnamon to enhance the flavor.
I prefer to make a batch of my own pumpkin pie spice each season. I like to quadruple the batch and then divide it into small jars with tightly-sealed lids to give to friends. The Saigon cinnamon and quality spices really make a difference in this mix.
Mini Pumpkin Empanadas
The sweet little pockets of goodness are easy to make and just the right amount of dessert to complete dinner on a weeknight. I like bringing these to the office and for the ladies in my church group as they are a hit. Of course, using the refrigerate pie dough from the store is the shortcut but making your own empanada dough is easy enough.
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves with the butter. Stir in the pumpkin and the spices. Continue to stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Filling should be stiff and not watery. Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour the filling into a bowl and let it cool for 15 minutes. Put the filling in the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie crusts and using a large glass or biscuit cutter, cut 4 circles from each crust. Add a small dollop of filling to each circle. Lightly wet the outsides edges of the dough with water and fold the dough over, creating a half-moon shape, and gently crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Brush each empanada with egg whites, sprinkle with sugar and puncture each empanada with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Soft Pumpkin Cookies
My father-in-law Darrell loves these cookies. They are light and fluffy and have a flavor that makes you want to eat 10 of them. The smell of these cookies baking lures the kids to the kitchen on a Saturday afternoon.
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium size bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; set aside. Using a stand mixer, beat sugar and butter until well blended. Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, drop on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle with glaze: Beat together until smooth—2 cups sifted powdered sugar; 3 tablespoons milk; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted; and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Fluffy Pumpkin Dip
I like to serve this dip with apples and graham crackers. You can be creative and hollow out a smaller-sized pumpkin to nestle a serving bowl in.
1 (16-oz.) tub whipped topping
Fold together all ingredients until combined.
No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes
There is a certain faction of folks out there who are like me and just eat "the good part" of the pumpkin pie and leave the crust. So this recipe is for the filling lovers out there! I like to serve it in the smaller clear cups for a light dessert and it makes about a dozen servings topped with a dollop of whipped cream. I like to put the pumpkin puree in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to folding it in.
18 gingersnaps (not soft and chewy variety)
Crush the gingersnaps in a resealable plastic baggie, or with a mortar and pestle set, and pour into a small bowl. Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Press into the bottom of 12 small clear cups. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until you have stiff peaks; set aside. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy then add the brown sugar, vanilla and seasonings and continue to beat for 2 minutes. Fold in the pumpkin and about 3/4 of the whipped cream. Use a cookie scoop to evenly distribute the filling into the cups. Top each filled cup with dollops of the remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate and serve within 24 hours. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon before serving.
Make your own pumpkin pie spice:
3 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
Mix together and keep in a tightly sealed container for the season.

COALINGA, Calif. (KFSN) -- Over 500 fire personnel assigned to the Elm Fire from units all over California are battling flames moving across thousands of acres of Fresno County.
"With the tall grass, rugged terrain, it's really steep, so the fire was able to grow pretty fast in a short amount of time," said Jeremiah Wittwer, Cal Fire PIO.
What started as a five to 10 acre fire on Thursday around 1:30 in the afternoon near Coalinga-- quickly grew to be the biggest fire in California this year.
"They're using dozers and aircraft, we have engines and hand crews assigned to the incident, working their way around the treacherous terrain," said Wittwer.
Cal Fire said they have not only been chasing the winds, but the areas the fire has been burning in are not easy to get to. So crews had to let it burn in some areas until they could make it through.
"It's steep, there are no roads in some of the access so our dozers are actually creating their own roads and allowing some of the engines to get into some of those areas," said Wittwer.
Firefighters said almost 20,000 more acres have burned this year, compared to this time last year.
"It's showing already, this summer-- it's going to be a little bit busier," said Wittwer.
Cal Fire said 15 to 20 structures have been threatened, but all evacuations have been lifted and all roads have been opened.
Elm Fire near Coalinga grows to 10,300 acres, 85 percent contained
All evacuations lifted and all roads have been opened.

The Chanel Fall 2012 runway looks are filled with colors found in nature. Drawing upon earth tones, water shades and natural metals, Chanel's autumn looks feature grassy textures, natural glam and rocky dimensions. The collection of neutrals makes up for its lack of color pop with fresh, wearable designs, and Chanel's ever-integrated classic tweed.
The revival of camouflage textures and colors takes on a modern edge under designer Karl Lagerfeld, who incorporates some sharp silhouettes. Parading down an icy-looking runway, these neutral camouflage designs are a subtle twist in keeping with Lagerfeld's Spring 2012 couture styles that reflected a similar affinity for nature.
Although not all of these clothes are completely wearable, they provide great inspiration for fans of earth-toned clothing.

I need some new audio for the hour a day I spend in the car. Picks have been slight lately on Audible so I got three credits to burn. They add a mixture of older novels and new releases every month. Not finding any by known authors I decided for two unknown to me John B. Rosenman and Richard Phillips. John has written three books and this one Beyond Those Distant Stars looks up my alley, an alien invasion story.
Alien invaders have all but destroyed humanity. Stella McMasters, a retired naval officer, yearns to get in the war but knows she'll never get a chance. Then amazing things start to happen. After saving a comrade's life during a meltdown that almost kills her, physicians remove her radioactive flesh and turn her into a superhuman cyborg. She is then given command of her first ship and, against her better judgment, falls in love with its charismatic pilot.
On their way to join the Empire's last line of defense, Stella runs right into an enemy vessel. For the first time ever, the mysterious invaders invite humans aboard. Should Stella accept, or run? Can she avoid a crushing defeat and save humanity in the process?
Richard also has three novels under his belt but his The Second Ship is the start of a series, The Rho Agenda. It figures the alleged UFO crash in Roswell. It sounds like an interesting young adult novel.
In 1948, an alien starship crash-landed in the New Mexico desert and brought with it the key to mankind's future. Code-named the Rho Project, the landing was shrouded in secrecy, and only the highest-ranking US government and military personnel knew it existed. Until now.
The US president is preparing to unveil one of the nation's greatest secrets when three students stumble across the wreckage of a second ship outside of Los Alamos. With a single touch, the alien technology the government has spent untold resources trying to unlock is uploaded into the minds of three teenagers — teenagers who now know the frightening truth about the Rho Project.The battle for humanity has begun.
I also noticed that my guilty pleasure B. V. Larson's sixth Star Force novel Empire is out on Kindle. Wonder when it will be out in audio?

The following was sent to the personal email account of Speaker of the House John Boehner from Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey on the night of January 1st, 2013. It deals with the Sandy Relief Bill that had previously passed in the Senate but that Boehner refused to call for a vote in the House, citing budget issues and pork barrel spending. Following a press conference that Governor Christie gave last Wednesday, Boehner was forced to call the bill and it was partially passed this Friday and signed into law by President Obama on Sunday night. This email, sent to The Gabbler by an anonymous source, foreshadows the press conference and seems to be part of the reason that Boehner was forced to change his mind.
Hey doucheface,
Don't you even know how to pick up a fucking phone? I've been calling you all night.
You know what this is about. Does the Sandy Relief Bill ring any bells? You know the one that would finally get my constituents the relief they need after months of waiting for Congress to get their shit together and actually do their fucking jobs? You know, the one that I had your every fucking assurance you would call to a vote and pass? The one you're no longer calling to a vote.
You know what, though, bud? You might have spent the past twenty years building yourself a career in that pisshole we call the House, but let me make one thing clear: I WILL take you down. You don't mess with Jersey, asshole.
You see, you fucked up here, pal. You had a BIPARTISAN bill ready to pass. That means you a fuckheads finally got your shit together long enough to actually accomplish something down there in D.C. That you actually pulled together to do your fucking job for once and to put the people over your stupid bullshit party loyalties. And you want to stop that from happening? You know, I kept my mouth shut while you and the Democrats fucked things up time and again just for the sake of not playing nice together. But this time, pal, it's personal.
See, this is how it's going to go down. I'm the red governor of a blue state, beloved the country over for speaking my mind, shooting off the cuff and telling it like it is. I've built myself a brand that lets me shit all over you and come out smelling like roses.
And you? You're the head of Congress, a clearly defunct and incapable group of monkeys posing as men, unable to get even the simplest parts of their job done. America ALREADY hates you. You've built yourself a brand of failure, disappointment, and ineptitude. So trust me when I say, America is going to eat out of the palm of my hand and then vomit all over you.
See, I'm calling a press conference in response to your total failure to do shit. I don't fucking care what reasons you gave and neither do the American people. I'm going to paint a picture of corruption and total ineptitude that slides right into place with that fiscal cliff disaster. And then I'll act disgusted and superior and above all that D.C. garbage. And they will fucking eat it up, Boehner. They will eat it up. Just a Papa Bear protecting his cubs. Just a politician finally standing up and serving his constituents.
You watch it, because that's just the start. I will destroy you. The band of merry thieves you've huddled around yourself in Congress? Gone. I will campaign like crazy for every non-incumbent in the coming primaries. And you? You can kiss the Speakership, your seat in Congress, all of it goodbye. They won't even let you back in Ohio when I'm done with you.
So you better reconsider and pass that fucking bill and give my people the relief they need. Or else you're going to be swimming with the fishes, politically speaking of course.
You've been warned, doucheface.
P.S. And if that isn't enough to convince you, remember, I still have those pictures of flipping off Grover Norquist behind his back at the RNC and I'm not afraid to tweet them.

ATLANTA, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Kool Smiles, a leading U.S. provider of quality dental care in underserved communities, is coordinating for the fourth year 'Operation Troop Treats,' a nationwide program designed to promote good dental hygiene during the Halloween season and give kids the opportunity to send overseas troops a sweet reminder of home. Operation Troop Treats encourages children to trade their Halloween candy in exchange for a toy at 125 Kool Smiles offices nationwide. The candy will then be sent in care packages to U.S. troops serving abroad via Operation Gratitude. Since 2012, Kool Smiles has collected more than five tons of donated candy and sent 800 care packages to troops through Operation Troop Treats.
"Operation Troop Treats is our way of encouraging kids and their parents to maintain good dental health this Halloween while providing an opportunity to give back to our brave U.S. soldiers serving overseas," said Dr. D Ray Gifford, Managing Dental Director for Kool Smiles. "Limiting the amount of sugar-filled sweets eaten during Halloween, along with encouraging healthy eating, brushing and flossing habits, can help reduce the risk of cavities. Sending some of these sweets to our troops abroad - along with dental kits to encourage good oral hygiene for them, too - is a win-win for everyone. We don't want to take the fun out of Trick or Treating - just the cavities!"
In addition to the exchange program, Kool Smiles is donating 200 dental kits for troops to Operation Gratitude, as well as the funds to cover the assembly and shipment of 200 Operation Gratitude care packages. Operation Gratitude is a 501(c)(3), volunteer-based organization that annually produces more than 100,000 care packages for U.S. Service Members deployed in harm's way, their children left behind, New Recruits, Wounded Warriors, Veterans and First Responders. Since 2007, Operation Gratitude has encouraged dentists to collect Halloween candy from their patients for donation to the troops through their Halloween Candy Buy-Back initiative. To date, Kool Smiles has organized the largest Candy Buy-Back effort by a dental organization participating on a national level.
"We're extremely grateful that Kool Smiles is continuing 'Operation Troop Treats' for a fourth year. As the largest dental donor to ourHalloween candy program, Operation Troop Treats has enabled more and more children to donate candy each year, and to make a huge impact on the lives of our Armed Forces members," said Operation Gratitude Founder Carolyn Blashek. "During Halloween, the kindness of small children donating their candy puts a smile on the faces of servicemen and women and lifts their morale. Kool Smiles' additional commitment to donate dental care kits and operational funds helps us send our valuable packages to our troops and is deeply appreciated."
All Kool Smiles offices throughout the country are participating in Operation Troop Treats during business hours from Friday, October 30 through Wednesday, November 4. The program is open to everyone, regardless of whether they are Kool Smiles patients. Every child that takes part will receive one toy for every 25 pieces of unopened candy in its original intended packaging. There is a limit of three toys per child and toys are distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Brushing twice daily and getting regular dental checkups is vital for people of all ages. However, Halloween is an especially important time for parents to pay close attention to their children's dental health. Good oral care can prevent complex and expensive procedures, as well as contribute to a child's overall health and wellbeing. Poor oral health, on the other hand, can contribute to significant health issues and costs later in life.

Shortly after 0200 BST the alarm was raised and 150 fire-fighters from across north Yorkshire spent two hours bringing the blaze under control.
The fire was concentrated in the 13th Century South Transept and left its roof destroyed.
The cause of the fire is unclear, but early suggestions are that the medieval cathedral was struck by lightning.
Staff braved heavy smoke and flames to salvage the Minster's priceless artefacts while the building was still ablaze.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie has praised rescue efforts and the good will of people who have come forward to offer help and money.
He was at the scene this morning, after giving a service at the Minster yesterday, he said: "there's a certain obvious poignancy which makes one a bit lost for words, immediate reactions and slick comments."
There are fears that the 16th Century stained glass rose window has been badly damaged but experts are optimistic that it can be repaired.
Fire investigators estimate that repair bills will total £1m, but the government has already pledged assistance.
In Context
Explanations ranged from UFOs to divine retribution, but North Yorkshire Fire Brigade's report to the Home Office confirmed that lightning was the most likely cause.
There was also criticism that smoke detectors had been set too low in the roof to provide early warning of the fire. Afterwards £350,000 was spent on installing modern fire alarms.
After much debate, the South Transept roof was rebuilt with a hand carved wooden replica and the cracked glass of the rose window was painstakingly restored with additional reinforcement.
Six of the transept ceiling bosses were designed by the winners of a competition run by the BBC children's programme, Blue Peter.
Hundreds of people gave their support, which ranged from cash donations to oak trees.
It took four years to complete repairs - costing £2.25m - and the Minster was finally re-dedicated in a service attended by the Queen in November 1988.

THE advent of cyber espionage is serving only to reinvigorate the craft of espionage, making such spying easier than ever, the ASIO chief, David Irvine, said.
Mr Irvine told a national security conference in Canberra last night that espionage, which has taken a back seat to terrorism since the attacks of September 11, 2001, was alive and well.
''Foreign powers will continue to attempt to acquire sensitive political, commercial, military and other information from a variety of sources and means,'' he said.
Mr Irvine has been increasingly vocal on the subject of the cyber threat.
The declaration by Mr Irvine also comes as the government releases a public discussion paper designed to inform next year's cyber white paper - Australia's first attempt at an overarching cyber security strategy.
Recent incidents such as the leaking of more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks and the intrusion into the parliamentary email system - believed to be by Chinese spies - have underscored the threat.

Matisyahu / Gomez / Street Drum Corp
Posted: 10/06/2006
Music Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Okay, I'll confess. I didn't know a single Matisyahu song before attending last night's show at the famed Ryman Auditorium where he was headlining. I was there to see and review British rock band Gomez, but that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy the entire show.
Street Drum Corps was the support to the support, and chances are you've never seen anything like this trio of drum-bangers. True to their name, this percussion ensemble hit everything from garbage cans to industrial size plastic containers to fire extinguishers. They did about five numbers that pretty much all sounded the same, but the group was entertaining nonetheless. There were also some weird videos going on in the background at times, but that was only a small part of the band's act and didn't really add to or take away from anything.
Gomez was up next. Touring in support of their new album, How We Operate, the band played mostly songs from that release and played them with fire and precision. Alternating lead vocal duties between Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball and Tom Gray, Gomez played all of the best tracks from the new release, including "See the World," "Notice," "Girlshapedlovedrug," and the title track. Gray's gravelly voice is the most distinguishable, leading the way on "Notice" and "Operate." The band also played "We Haven't Turned Around," which was on the "American Beauty" soundtrack a few years back, and it was one of the highlights of the set.
Gomez didn't do anything spectacular in their live show. In fact, they are one of those bands that just let the music speak – and it does indeed speak volumes because of its emotive power and because Gomez knows how to bring it live. The crowd, most of which appeared to be waiting for Matisyahu, gave Gomez a well-deserved standing ovation at the end.
Then after about a 45-minute wait, Matisyahu's band came out—a simple lineup of guitar, bass, keys, drums and percussionist. They started to play, and Matisyahu joined his band to the delight of the crowd, made up mostly of college and high school age kids and Jewish families. Yes, it was quite a sight to see the beanie-clad middle-age Jewish parents with their kids, and difficult to tell in each case who dragged who to the show.
But really, it didn't matter who was in the audience. Matisyahu impressed everyone with his precision vocal abilities, which ride the fence between reggae and hip-hop, but mostly to the reggae side. In fact, if you closed your eyes, chances are you wouldn't picture the Orthodox Jewish man on stage, but more likely a rasta-dude akin to Peter Tosh or Bob Marley. And still, Matisyahu is talented enough to stand up to any of those legends. That, and his band was nothing short of spectacular. If you were like me and didn't recognize the songs, it really didn't matter because reggae shows can tend to be one long track, and this was no exception.Taken as a whole, this was one hell of a diverse, entertaining and musically excellent show.

The Indonesian police (with help from the Australians) are rounding up the Bali bombers, and in the process are gaining a great deal of information about their operation, especially since the leader of the group, Imam Samudra, was captured. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that bin Laden videos and tapes have been found in the plotters' homes. More troubling is the claim by Samudra that one of the bombs–the one that destroyed Paddy's Irish Pub–was not a car bomb, but was carried by a suicide bomber. Indonesian authorities say that the forensic evidence seems compatible with this claim, and are carrying out DNA tests and other investigations to try to verify it. Although there have been many bombings by Indonesian Muslims in recent years, none have been carried out by suicide bombers. Indonesian and Australian authorities are expressing great concern about the possible spread of this tactic outside of the Middle East.

Food: 1/2
Ambience: 1/2
Hours:Lunch buffet daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; regular menu available 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Prices: About $20 to $30 for two a la carte
At first, I questioned the wisdom of offering a Chinese buffet. Hungry souls could pick up a three-entree plate for about $6.95 at any Chinese fast-food outlet. That's enough variety for a single sitting, and a person doesn't usually need much more than that.
But, as everyone knows, there's always a big difference between theory and practice, and once at the weekend buffet, the beauty of it came clear.
"Ooh, roast duck! Salt-pepper shrimp! Kau yuk! Beef broccoli! Steamed sea bass! Fried chicken!" This was all available for about the same price as a single entree, and none of it had the feeling of being yesterday's leftovers. I sampled all of it and then some.
What's more, because of the affordability, I felt less pressure to pigout to get full value. The buffet usually features 14 to 15 entrees -- subject to change -- such as garlic stir-fried long beans, a seafood and vegetable sauté, tofu and vegetable sauté, crispy gau gee and won tons, plus soup, pork hash, the expected rice and noodles, and dessert.
As far as I could tell, the only difference between the daily and weekend buffet is the addition of the steamed fish on weekends.
With high-end dishes of roast duck and salt-pepper shrimp priced at $11 (half order) and $10.95, respectively, it seemed that the restaurant stands to make more by having customers dine a la carte. A minimum of two entrees and rice for two is likely to add up to more than they'd spend at the buffet, but there's much to be said for good public relations, and the partners involved in this restaurant have 30 years of experience in community restaurants from Mililani to Mapunapuna to Kailua.
Maybe they've learned that happy, stuffed buffet customers who like spacious, fresh-looking quarters often find their way back for a la carte and special-occasion meals.
A la carte dishes prepared by Hong Kong-trained chefs average $7.95 to $8.95. On the high end there's one of the house's best dishes, Volcano Beef Tenderloin, for $12.90. The black pepper-covered slices of beef arrive encased in foil and ready for flambé presentation. Parents with impressionable young children might need to find a baby sitter and enjoy this dish on their own because it makes playing with fire look like fun.
Picky diners might prefer going the a la carte route anyway. Dishes like the house-made roast duck are so much better straight out of the kitchen. Unless you're at the buffet when it opens or when they're adding dishes, you can't be sure how long the food has been out drying, wilting and otherwise becoming inedible. The kau yuk, for instance, was bouncier than that ordered straight off the menu.
Other popular offerings here are sweet dishes such as orange chicken ($7.95) and honey-walnut shrimp ($12.95). Eggplant with spicy garlic sauce ($7.95) was too vinegary for my taste, but this might be just the way you like it. Fried rice with diced chicken and salted fish ($8.95) had more of the plain chicken than fish, so I missed the flavorful little bursts of salt.
Rounding out the menu are $9.95-to-$11.95 casseroles and $11.95 sizzling platters.
All that's left is dessert, and almond float (sans the canned fruit) is complimentary.

Does anyone do this? I have an iPhone 6. In the past I've used dropbox to backup photos. Setup was easy. It's always worked flawlessly. Anytime I'm on wifi it uploads new photos to their server and anytime my pc is on at home it downloads those photos to a folder on my desktop.
However, for the past year I've been editing photos before texting or emailing them to people. Because iOS doesn't actually edit the photo but instead just creates a seperate file with the edited settings, dropbox only uploads the unedited version. Now I have hundreds of edited photos sitting on my phone that I'd like to move to my computer. From what I can tell my choices are to either mail them one by one to myself or use iCloud to backup my phone.
So that's what I spent two hours trying to do yesterday. Somehow for all my efforts I have precisely two photos that have backed up to iCloud and downloaded to my computer. When I click backup on my phone it does it's thing and then thinks it's done. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? (or more accurately, any idea what stupid completely non-intuitive monkey wrench did Apple throw into this particular process like they do with all their software?)
