So why is Dbal-max known to be so powerful?

BCAA's (branched chain amino acids) is one of the nutrients that our body needs for this to take place. According to the various research that has been carried out over the years, it has been proven that this nutrient is able to accelerate the synthesis of protein in our body. This is highly beneficial since it is the one that plays a big role in muscle growth. The best thing is that Dbal-max contains this nutrient as one of its ingredients. Other important and highly beneficial ingredients that are used in the formulation of Dbal-max include 20-Hydroxyecdysterone and Whey protein complex.
All these ingredients that are contained in Dbal-max are able to help your muscles work harder during training and workouts which in turn leads to high muscles mass and growth.

Dbal-max is highly beneficial because:

- It improves the protein synthesis in the body
- Reduces fatigue during training and workout
- Maximizes the way you are able to lift
Who should consider making use of Dbal-max?
Any body builder who has the right goals knows that besides having the proper diet, other ways in which you can be able to increase your muscles mass is through training hard, lifting heavy weights and maxing out the reps. Since this is tedious, we tend to lack the consistency and will to do it every single day. By making use of Dbal-max, you are going to not only be able to achieve your goals, but you are also going to do this in a much quicker and effective way. Dbal-max is beneficial since it is able to give you the stamina, energy, and strength to keep going even when those lifts seem to be very difficult.

How is everyone? I had an absolutely awesome Sunday!
You see, I had an exam Saturday that I was very concerned about so I spent all week studying my ass off. After my exam I was both mentally and physically exhausted so I didn't do much besides sleep.
So on Sunday, I woke up late and had a very lazy day. There was a Home Alone marathon on TV so the bf and I laid down all day, watched all three Home Alone films (I don't include Home Alone 4 in the movie category because it's just so awful), made toutons (mmm) and just basically lazed about. I don't have any exams or papers due this coming week so I was able to do this without feeling guilty about it. It was awesome!
When I finally decided to actually do something productive, I did my nails. However, I was still in a lazy mood so I only did a simply animal print design.

Popular Nollywood actress and producer Joy Anyim, is currently in the middle of a scandal as she was reportedly arraigned in a court in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital, on October 7th, 2016 for alleged theft.
According to online reports, the light complexioned screen star's case was allegedly heard at the Magistrate court 6 in the state capital where she is standing trial on a one count charge of theft of the sum of N460,000 from a friend identified as Christopher Ibok.
A popular online platform, GistMania exclusively revealed more details of the story making rounds online and it's quite shocking, read below;
"This is an unbelievable and shocking story bearing in mind the life of opulence and stupendous affluence Joy exhibited when all was rosy and she had untethered access to the massive wealth of her husband's family.
"The Enugu-born actress was renowned for renting entire hotels, guest houses and even clubs to fulfill her erotica desires. Uranus Hotel, Entry Point Hotel, as well as Uncle G Resort were some of the many establishments where she spent millions on extravagant and flirtatious parties and also as hideouts for her Nollywood lovers, as well as other frivolous outings.
"All these seem like ages now, as we have reliably been informed that the party loving actress is now living in hiding as she is currently being hounded by her creditors all over the town; which include her former car mechanic, cosmetic supplier, clothe supplier and her popular eateries.
"Her friends who spoke with us on conditions of anonymity expressed shock at how quickly her lovers who helped her ruin her first-two marriages under three years abandoned her at her trying times. Sylvester Madu, Prince Eke, John Ntah, Tekena and all her various other lovers-cum-suitors in town have all deserted her now that she is living like a destitute.
"Even her recent benefactor, cum lover, a prominent Alhaji at the Uyo Abattoir have since fled town for fear of being roped into her various issues. Joy Anyim was meanwhile remanded in prison until she meets her bail condition of N500,000 .
"The case was adjourned until the 13th of October, 2016. All efforts to contact her estranged husband proved abortive."
N/B: Tori News could not independently confirm the authenticity of this news already making rounds online, as efforts to reach the star or her management have proved abortive.

Minerals properties
Characteristics of minerals
Importance of minerals for health
Minerals are necessary for the functioning of the human body. They all come from the soil and must be obtained through the plants that are able to incorporate them into their tissues or animals that incorporate them when they eat plants or to other animals.
What are the most important minerals?
There are abundant minerals in the body. The most important of all is calcium which represents 2% of the total weight of a person. So one would have, more or less, between 1.5 and 2 kilos of one's total weight.
Other minerals are found in very tiny quantities, but not for this reason they can be considered superfluous.
For example, we have only 20 or 30 mg of iodine, however, this small amount is absolutely crucial for the proper functioning of the thyroid, a gland behind the neck that secretes tyrosine, a hormone necessary for proper growth, reproduction of cells or the proper functioning of nerves.
Without iodine the body develops a condition called hypothyroidism. In this condition the gland becomes inflamed and produces a bulge in the bottom of the neck called a goiter.
In addition there are many abnormalities (short stature, general inflammation, hair loss, cramps, depression, etc).
Properties of minerals
Iodine deficiency is only one example of organic malfunctioning (physical or psychological) which a lack of some mineral may cause. In general, we can say that minerals perform the following functions:
- They are part of the general metabolism, participating in the production of enzymes and hormones, or working together with other minerals or vitamins: We have already seen the role of iodine in the production of tyrosine. Other times the absorption of minerals is needed for the presence other components. For example, iron is best absorbed with vitamin C or calcium facilitates the absorption of copper.
- They take part in the hydroelectric or biochemical balance in the body. For example it is well known fluid balance carrying out a common task by the action of potassium, sodium and chloride.
- They are part of the body tissues. Are essential parts of the bones to which they provide structure and rigidity, they are present in teeth, muscles, soft tissues, blood and nerve tissue.
Special mineral needs. When should mineral supplements be taken?
Normally a varied diet, rich in natural foods, would provide the Daily Recommended Dose (RDA) of minerals. However, there are a number of situations that require a strict study of the diet to provide sufficient minerals.
For example, food should be monitored during pregnancy or breast-feeding to prevent possible iron deficiency or calcium.
No less important is a diet rich in calcium and magnesium in the prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis.
Danger of overdosing
Taking more minerals than needed could be dangerous for health, specially when doing this through supplements.
For example, excess of iron can lead to hemochromatosis, a disease characterized for an excess of iron in body tissues, specially in the liver which produces diabetes mellitus, bronzed skin, enlarger liver, pancreas and joints abnormalities, etc.

If you haven't guessed it already, I'm kind of a Crossfit junkie. I mean…I love it. But it's not just the workouts that I enjoy, because I've tried doing some Crossfit workouts at home by myself, and I rarely (a) finish or (b) have the motivation to get the same intensity or stimulus that I would at a box. So really, what does it for me at Crossfit is the exercise, supplemented by the community (people + coaches).
When I first began at Albany Crossfit, it was toward the end of autumn (end of October/beginning of November), and I knew I would be visiting my family for a full month over the holidays. At this point, my track record with sticking with any sort of exercise or nutrition plan was bleak. Literally, I'd say, Okay, diet starts tomorrow! Then I'd do my Latin dance workout for two days in a row, see I wasn't losing weight, and then go back to eating tacos and watching TV. (I wish that was a lie, but you don't get to almost 300 pounds by gorging yourself on kale.)
So, in anticipation of my "normal" self creeping back into the picture, I decided that I'd find a Crossfit near my family, pony up the dinero for a one-month membership, and just go a few times a week over the holidays so I wouldn't completely lose my momentum, or quit Crossfit all together.
And I did.
And I hated almost every moment of it.
You know how I said that it's the combo of the exercise and the community that really does it for me? Yeah. Crossfit Near My Family really frickin' sucked in the community department. The people weren't very friendly, and the head coach was a damn tool. When I asked for a movement demo, he looked at me, and said, completely unironically, "I thought you said you'd done Crossfit before." What. An. Ass. I mean, props to me, because I did finish out that month going to Crossfit Near My Family consistently. Consistently, but with the intention of NEVER returning. (A side note: Later on, I was checking out their website, when I found videos that Head Coach had posted of him doing Turkish getups with a curled-up lady instead of a kettlebell. What a smelly hipster tool! And I LOVE hipsters!)
In any case, after that, I pretty much gave up on the idea of Crossfitting while at home. Whenever I visited home, I would pass by Crossfit Near My Family and sneer. Instead, I had to find other ways of staying active. That first summer home was awesome. I did things I never thought I'd even want to do to stay active. I was riding miles on my bike, going for runs, taking the dog on long walks that wore him out! But I quickly found that it just wasn't enough. I missed Crossfit, and it was much more difficult to lose weight. Not only that, but there was a serious decrease in my strength when I DID get back to Albany and start Crossfitting again.
Yes, when you take a break and come back, you're sore. You hurt. It's not pleasant. But when you take a break, you basically take three giant leaps backward. I would leave for Portland using 55# for a metcon. When I'd come back, I'd be like, Aiiiiiieeeeee! 45#! Y u so heavy?!
No joke.
It didn't feel good to feel like you're starting all over and that you've lost strength, even if you are consistently doing some other form of exercise/cardio.
After going through that cycle a few times, one of my old friends from Portland told me that she had started going to a Crossfit, and that it was awesome and I should definitely go with her once or twice when I was back in town. And I did. And I felt an instant connection with the people there. At that point, I didn't commit to a membership, but I did decide that I would go a few times to make sure I liked it, and revisit the following summer. After my first few visits, I understood that Crossfit SW Portland was nothing like Crossfit Near My Family. The coaches were super down-to-earth, and all the members I met were incredibly friendly. And, for once, I didn't feel immense pressure to beat someone else at a WOD or PR consistently. It was a…nice…feeling.
After that positive experience, I started thinking about sampling other Crossfits, too. I wasn't quite as put-off by the idea of trying a new box, like I was after my monthlong stint at Crossfit Near My Family.
That March, I visited Crossfit Dublin…and it was awesome!
And just a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to WOD at Crossfit Reclamation (we did Fran…) and Crossfit Portsmouth. And that was awesome, too! And so was Crossfit Dilworth in Charlotte!
So here's the thing—I noticed that Crossfitting while away is not just about staying fit or working in another workout. It's not like going and exercising at a hotel gym (which I have also done, unfortunately…). And with the exception of Crossfit Near My Family, all of my visiting Crossfit experiences have been EXTREMELY positive. I'm excited to meet new people, make new connections, and expand my Crossfit community (because, you know, there is such a thing as Crossfit outside your home box!).
Being a Crossfitter doesn't only mean that you take pride in your bruises and that you do heinous crap that other people usually can't even fathom and that you sadistically enjoy it. No, being a Crossfitter means that you don't only have membership to your home box, but that you have membership to a worldwide network of other really amazing people and boxes, and that no matter where you are in the world, you can walk into a new box and be treated like family. It's a pretty awesome and wonderful feeling, and I'm so lucky that one bad experience didn't turn me off to Crossfit, but instead opened me up to a whole myriad of absolutely fantastic ones.

It pays to walk through the revolving door.
When someone associated with a company gets appointed to a government post, that company sees a boost in its stock price, according to an analysis of defense contractors by two Swiss economists. And the bump isn't minor. On average, the companies' stock prices increase by 0.82 percent on the first day after the announcement and 0.84 percent on the second day.
Companies also get a boost when the door swings the other way. After a prominent person working in government is appointed to a firm, the company's stock price sees a 0.79 percent boost immediately and a 1.05 percent boost two days following the announcement, the study found.
The report isn't the first to call attention to the cozy relationship between business and Washington. Neil Barofsky, the former watchdog of the financial crisis bailouts, derided the Obama and Bush administrations for allowing close relationships with Wall Street that he says influenced the terms of the bailout.
That revolving door has raised questions about whether Washington is more responsive to the needs of big business than ordinary Americans. Gary Gensler, the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, worked at Goldman Sachs for 18 years before starting his career as a public servant. Jacob Lew, President Obama's chief of staff, had a stint at Citigroup in between various government appointments. His predecessor Bill Daley worked at JPMorgan Chase before becoming chief of staff.
Even beneficiaries of the close relationship between Washington and business have criticized that relationship. Charles Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries, has derided what he describes as crony capitalism -- or the way the government subsidizes various businesses -- as a "destructive force."
But as the recent study notes, it's not only subsides and tax breaks that can come from the revolving door. A company's stock price is often boosted as well. That increase is usually bigger when the announcement is connected to the Democratic Party, the study found.

I was beating myself up just now about missing my Tuesday post, because what I was GOING to post... well, I suddenly hated it. It was boring and not at all funny. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to post about instead. Then suddenly I woke up to Wednesday morning. O_O
I felt so frustrated about skipping a post day that I sat down to schedule some posts to avoid that problem. But then I realised, everything flowed out of my head much better this time round. Maybe Tuesday was just a bad day. Or maybe my bad blogging habits - writing the post on the day it'll be posted, putting myself under pressure, having boring content, etc - was the reason. So I made up this little questionnaire... do you recognise yourself in any of these scenarios?
a) Type a bunch of random letters on your keyboard (Cait e_e)
b) TYPE IN CAPITALS (me.)
c) Don't even type, because, ugh, the feels.
2. Something unexpected comes up. But it's okay because...
a) You have posts scheduled for the next three years.
b) You're going to quickly finish a draft of something you were tagged for and post that.
c) Who are you kidding. NOTHING IS OKAY. Just forget about posting anything. (me.)
3. Something cool in your life happens.
a) Post about it on a designated Everything-Goes day where you talk about your life.
b) Post about it in-between your book reviews because you have to share!! (me.)
c) Don't post it at all, because helloo? This is a book blog.
d) Your blog is ABOUT your life, which renders this question meaningless.
4. Fangirling on your blog?! Dude, that's totally...
a) NOT COOL.
b) Okay, but keep it to yourself, man.
c) AWESOME!! I LOVE HARRY POTTER! (me.)
5. You said you were going to post That Thing of Whatever on Thursday, but Thursday was yesterday. So...
a) You hurriedly finish it up and post on your next post day, knowing that now ALL of your posts will run behind.
b) You stick to your schedule, waiting for the gap/holiday you planned earlier so you can post it then.
c) You stick to your schedule, and because you are a mess you had no gaps or even a plan so now that post just sits there, getting older and older and less relevant as time goes by until you eventually stop trying to find a time to post it and two years later when you look back you wondered why you wanted to post it in the first place..? *sings* de-le-eeee-te!
(*cough*, me.)
6. You're making a joke in your blog post! What better way to emphasise it than to...
a) Use a lot of exclamation marks.
b) USE A GIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
c) Nothing is needed. The joke will automatically be funny. (... me...? I guess?)
7. You scheduled a post. Um...
a) Shit. It went live before it was meant to. (me.)
b) Shit! It was supposed to go live! WHY DIDN'T IT GO LIVE?!
c) How do you schedule a post?
8. You're trying to format a post in f&$%@#! Blogger. And what happens?
a) It deletes your entire post content, autoaves the blank post, and no matter how many times you press undo does not come back. You have not saved it elsewhere. (me.)
b) It goes perfectly, and you post an absolutely gorgeous article. (everybody else.)
9. You're trying to think of something to blog about. Your mind goes blank.
a) Post some crap.

c) Attempt to design a header yourself to go live on January 1st, only it's the 15th and it's still not ready yet because you do not have all of the materials required to make it fabulouso and perfect and meanwhile you search online for free themes and after uploading the template to your blog which completely messes up all of your widgets the template then proceeds to open a link it hid on your blog to an adult pornography site. You don't have to guess who this happened to, do you?

P.P.S. I hope my blog is okay after the stupid hidden links template! I've checked it and it seems to be fine. I swear, that gave me SUCH a scare.

More than a doctor's office, your Providence primary care or pediatric practice is a Patient-Centered Medical Home.
It's where your health care team focuses on you and your family, providing prompt, cost-efficient care, on-going wellness and better outcomes.
- At a Providence Medical Home practice, your care is entrusted to a team of health care providers who know you and your family's health history, and who can focus on wellness and illness prevention as well as disease treatment.
- Your Medical Home not only assures continuity of health care, it lets your doctor coordinate care, so the precise treatment or testing you need is available right away, and unnecessary procedures that take time, and drive up your costs, are eliminated.
- You can take charge of your own health, and be confident you're working toward healthy goals. Your Medical Home team makes sure you're fully informed of your health and wellness needs—so you can take better care of yourself every hour of every day.
- Providence Medical Home practices provide appointments when you need them, including same-day urgent care appointments.
It's where your doctor—and a team of health care professionals—know you and your complete health history. And because they know you so well, your Patient-Centered Medical Home team can coordinate all care, so the precise treatment, tests or medications you need are always available and appropriate, even if you need to go to a specialist or another health care provider.That's important, because it eliminates unnecessary procedures that take time, and drive up your costs.
Continuous, on-going care means focusing on total wellness and illness prevention, not just treatment.
With a complete, long-term picture of your unique health needs, your Medical Home team knows what will keep you healthy and well in the first place—not just treat you when you're sick. And they'll advise you on preventive care based on the health and wellness risk factors unique to you.
With the whole Medical Home team to help, you can often get a same-day appointment . . . and more time with your provider when you need it.
If you have a problem at night, or over the weekend, you can still contact a provider through the exclusive on-line Providence Patient Portal. Or, your Medical Home can coordinate a visit to Providence After Hours Care, where they already have your complete medical records.
There's a lot of health 'advice' out there — but your doctor and Medical Home team help you do what's best for you.
They make sure you're always fully informed of your health and wellness needs, and have the tools you need to take better care of yourself every hour of every day. They'll help you take charge of your own health, and guide you toward healthy goals.
The exclusive on-line Providence Patient Portal also lets you access your medical information anytime, anywhere so you can always review your complete health information.
Under the leadership of your doctor, your Medical Home care team may also include:
- A Nurse Practitioner is fully qualified to treat nearly every acute and chronic condition for all ages, including illness, injuries, infections, high blood pressure, diabetes, and many other critical health care issues.
- A Physician Assistant performs medical histories, conducts physical exams, diagnoses and treats many illnesses, counsels on preventive care and assists our doctors in many other important ways.
- A Care Coordinator or Care Navigator helps manage high-risk patient care across the full spectrum of health services, coordinating primary care with specialty treatment, inpatient and outpatient hospitalization, emergency and urgent care and other health services.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) awards Patient Centered Medical Home recognition to those practices that use evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and ongoing patient/provider relationships. Each patient's care is addressed by a clinician-led care team, which provides for all the patient's health care needs, and coordinates treatment across the health care system. Providence Family Medicine and Pediatric practices have achieved Level 3 NCQA recognition — the highest standard of qualification.
Every patient of a Providence Patient-Centered Medical Home practice benefits from providers who know that patient, and that patient's health history. Continuity of care, partnership with the patient, and the latest practice technologies all lead to better long-term health and wellness. And for our community in general, it's a foundation for higher-quality, more cost-efficient care."

RabbitMQ Monitoring Plugins
Doug Barth of Interactive Mediums has created two plugins for monitoring RabbitMQ, an enterprise messaging system based on the emerging AMQP standard.
Doug's RabbitMQ Overall Monitoring Plugin monitors the overall health of RabbitMQ – reporting the number of queues, connections, etc. His RabbitMQ Queue Monitoring Plugin drills down to a specific queue.
Doug tells me that Interactive Mediums, which offers a mobile customer engagement platform used by many top brands, has been very happy with RabbitMQ's small memory footprint and stability.
We use RabbitMQ for processing all of the SMS messages that flow through our system. The setup is pretty typical, wherein we queue messages coming into our system and going out of our system. We have also been expanding our usage to include some supporting systems. Our second usage involved switching our background daemons to queued approach. Where previously we had a single daemon processing a type of background work (sending a single message to thousands of phones, for example), we now enqueue a message to a pool of background daemons which pull a unit of work and process it.
If you've developed a plugin for Scout that might be useful to other users, tell us about it!

Drew Pomeranz eager to pitch in for A's
Houston -- Drew Pomeranz is back with the A's for the first time since he broke his right hand punching a chair, and if he pitches well Wednesday, there's a chance he could stick with the club.
Pomeranz had only one poor outing in his eight starts with Oakland in the first half. He is being called up Wednesday as a sixth starter so the A's can line up their top four starters to work at Anaheim this weekend, but if there is underperformance elsewhere in the rotation, or if the team wants to get extra rest for starters, Pomeranz could factor in down the stretch.
Pomeranz said Tuesday that he is just glad to be back and said his goal is to help the A's win a game Wednesday. His focus all year has been to get deeper into games and he made it through eight innings at Sacramento once this season.
"I know I pitch tomorrow and I want to win tomorrow," Pomeranz said. "And whatever happens from there is whatever happens. It's not worth me thinking about it."
"We'll take it day by day with this one," manager Bob Melvin said. "See how he does tomorrow and make our decision accordingly."
With Sam Fuld available on the bench Tuesday and no longer a candidate to go on the disabled list after banging up his left knee Sunday, Nate Freiman is most likely to be sent down to Triple-A Sacramento in order to make room for Pomeranz on the roster.
Lowrie improves: Shortstop Jed Lowrie played catch for the first time since going on the disabled list with a fractured right index finger, and he could try to do some hitting work Wednesday. If all goes well, a rehab assignment this weekend isn't out of the question, especially with A's minor-league teams wrapping up their regular seasons Monday.
Briefly: A's minor-league hitting instructor Greg Sparks will be the hitting coach for the Mesa Solar Sox, the team Oakland's prospects now play for in the Arizona Fall League. ... Addison Russell, Oakland's top prospect until he was traded to the Cubs for Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel, also will play for Mesa.

all of her shop goodies this week!
Here are some FUN things that Lesley would like you to know about her!!
Hi I'm Lesley the owner and creator of NutkinTailz Designs it was my birthday on 23 March and I'm lucky enough to grab the featured designer spot as close to it as I could. I hail from Modbury which is a suburb north east of Adelaide the capital of South Australia, yeah the land of Oz. I am married and we have a 3yo son I love animals and have 2 cats, a dog, some fish and all the native wildlife that comes to visit from time to time. My humour is eer well zany, crazy and totally naughty. Reading and digi-scrap design are my hobbies and I'm in love with my computer. I work full time in the accounts department for a well known and long established bakery about 10 minutes from home, lucky ay.
Designing started about 5 years back doing freebies for friends who couldn't quiet find what they wanted so they put their orders in and after 18 months of that they talked me into selling my creations. Motivation comes from many places usually colours or something that catches my eye and I go from there. My style is many and varied but I totally love vintage and grunge but bright and airy will do depending on my mood or colours I'm working with. I've just discovered art journaling and I've been having a bit of fun doing kits in that genre too. You can be guaranteed a quality product as I'm a strong believer in quality control as I personally don't like to spend good money to receive a substandard product so I wouldn't expect my customers to receive anything less than 100%.
You might also be wondering how I came about my design name, well as a little girl one of my favourite recorded stories was by Beatrix Potter called Squirrel Nutkin and there was a song he sang on the record that drove my poor dear Dad crazy, he hated it. Nutkin also had a huge fluffy tail and we have a cat called Tailz who actually has the biggest fluffiest tail that we've ever seen, and of course I can't spell anything normally so that's how NutkinTailz came about.
My store
is on sale for the week that I'm the featured designer, 30% off - no promo code needed!! Sale prices are already marked!

There's just something about the holidays that makes me want to be in the kitchen creating yummy treats for my friends and family. Unfortunately, I am so not capable of doing anything edible. However, I think my skill was bumped up a notch after visiting the Hershey's test kitchens last week! I think the incredible people that develop the recipes at Hershey's were shocked to find out that I had basically no baking experience. They were so nice and taught me many tips and tricks for navigating the kitchen and making the perfect cookie.
Before this trip (which you will hear a LOT more about in the days to come), I would have never, and I mean NEVER, attempted to make cookies as teacher gifts for the holidays and certainly never hosted a cookie exchange. But with my confidence at an all time high and armed with the best Hershey's products, I decided to bake. Shocked? Anxious to see how it turned out? Along with the help of my daughter, we decided to bake the KISSES Cocoa Cookies and the Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies. Wanna try?
Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies
What you Need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/4 cups butter or margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2/3 cups REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips
How to Make It:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. I used a hand mixer, but a stand mixer would have been infinitely easier.
3. Stir in peanut butter chips (I used my hands to mix them in!). Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not overbake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Makes about 4-1/2 dozen cookies.
The results? FA-BU-LOUS. My daughter and I had such a great time making the cookies together and they were indeed edible! Score! You really have to try this and any other recipe at HersheysCookies.com. If I can do it, it will be a piece of cake for you! While you are there, make sure you enter to win one of two $10,000 kitchen makeovers (one for you and one for a friend…or me…LOL!).
Do you want to try a few of the recipes and have a cookie exchange of your very own? Hershey's will generously provide one reader with the following prize pack:
- Branded Hershey's Canister Set
- Hershey's Cookies Holiday Apron
- 3 bags of assorted Hershey's Baking Chips
- 2 bags of Hershey's Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates
- 1 canister of Hershey's Cocoa
- Branded Hershey's Cookie Timer
- Set of Hershey's Recipe Cards
- 2 Hershey's Baking Boxes
How to enter:
1. Visit HersheysCookies.com and tell me what makes your mouth water?!
Additional entries:

I'm sure colcannon and a nice beef stew to ladle atop would have been more appropriate for the theme of the day. I, for one, spent most of my day keeping binge drinking hipsters wearing ironic green clothing from bouncing off the hood of my car. Seattle mustering its best attempt at becoming Boston for a day. I went out for work and quick run to the store. Otherwise I stayed safely in the confines of my own kitchen.
I made something of a half-hearted effort to find something Irish to make. Soda bread seemed really obvious. I hadn't gotten very far when the idea of a chicken pot pie grabbed my attention. I didn't need any convincing. Continue reading

These shadows have a creamy texture and I recommend patting them on instead of swiping, and then you can blend. Blending does fade them a bit, but they can easily be built back up to the desired pigment. The first three colors are a beige, a gorgeous orange/bronze, and a deep cocoa. They are all extremely shimmery.
The last two colors add the 'spice' to this palette: a plummy purple and a yellow/gold.
Here are all of the shadows without any primer. Decent pigmentation. Average fallout, but nothing that ruins your look or you can't brush away.
But...it gets better!
With a thin layer of the BA Star Body Shimmer Base underneath and much less of the eyeshadow, the results are spectacular. Just pat on to well-primed eyes and you get luxurious, almost 'foiled', looking color. I am so loving that purple!
Wear time is great. Lasts the whole day on me! (so 12+ hours) There is some minor glitter fallout throughout the day if I am in a rush and missed a tiny spot during priming because these really perform their best when held to the skin with a base.
On the eyes, they are very, very glittery, but a wash of the beige on my brown bone is subtle enough for some daytime sparkle!
Every time I try BA Star products, I honestly like them more and more!

Psychology writings.
Psychology is the study of behavior and mind.
It is an academic discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by
establishing general principles and researching specific cases.
In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social,
behavioral, or cognitive scientist.
Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors. Psychologists explore concepts such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships, including psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas.
Psychologists of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind.
Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques.
Psychology has been described as a "hub science", with psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, humanities, and philosophy.
While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in several spheres of human activity. By many accounts psychology ultimately aims to benefit society.
The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings (e.g., medical schools, hospitals).
Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings, or in other areas such as human development and aging, sports, health, and the media, as well as in forensic investigation and other aspects of law.
Satan at Stanford
At 11 P.M. on October 12, 1974, the lush, sprawling campus of Stanford University was alive with the sounds of Saturday night. From scattered pockets of partying, exuberant bursts of harmony, laughter and the thump, thump, thump of reverberant bass guitars drifted from dormitory windows and doorways as the student population unwound from a week's worth of classes, study and football fever.
The love affair with big-time sports was enjoying a resurgence at the university, long known primarily as a bastion of academic excellence. But Jim Plunkett's Stanford Indians had ridden a dark horse out of nowhere to upset the world in the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day of '71. Four seasons later, the pride still burned with the memory, and the fervor lingered yet on autumn Saturdays.
And although it was mid-October, Columbus Day—a time of smoldering dry leaves and ripening pumpkins in the northern reaches of the country—it was a clear, pleasant evening in Palo Alto. A light breeze gently rattled the gum trees and palms that studded the campus and bore the musical merriment from one distant corner of the sparkling complex to the other.
There were many such nights in the friendly climate of California's Silicon Valley, which nestled some forty miles to the south and east of San Francisco. The Valley's nickname, and the whole of Santa Clara County, which enveloped it, spoke of tomorrow, progress and affluence.
The general vicinity of Palo Alto, including nearby San Jose, was home to a considerable number of high-technology corporations—such as IBM—which had erected laboratories or development centers for the manufacture of advanced computer circuitry. Silicon is a nonmetallic element critical to the production of semiconductors: hence the Valley's label.

The concept of an archetype is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis.
An archetype can be:
In various seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling, media etc. characters or ideas sharing similar traits can be found. In the first sense, many more informal terms are frequently used instead, such as "standard example" or "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example" is also found. In mathematics, an archetype is often called a "canonical example".
from Wikipedia
The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) is an encyclopedic collection of archetypal images consisting of photographs of works of art, ritual images, and artifacts of sacred traditions and contemporary art from around the world. The archive is hosted by National ARAS with institutional members in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.
Today, the ARAS archive contains about 17,000 photographic images collected over more than sixty years, each accompanied by scholarly commentary. The commentary includes a description of the image with a cultural history that places it in context historically and geographically, an important aspect for understanding and working with archetypal images.
Where applicable, the commentary brings the image into focus for its modern psychological and symbolic meaning, as well as often including a bibliography for related reading and a glossary of technical terms.
The archive has physical repositories in the cities of its institutional-member hosts; it is also available online (online access does require a subscription) and images are indexed with keywords, including historical, cultural, geographic and other useful terms.
ARAS also publishes a quarterly online journal connecting art, culture and depth psychology from a multi-disciplinary perspective that can be subscribed to free of charge on their website, aras.org.

In Jungian psychology, archetypes are highly developed elements of the collective unconscious. Being unconscious, the existence of archetypes can only be deduced indirectly by examining behavior, images, art, myths, religions, or dreams. Carl Jung understood archetypes as universal, archaic patterns and images that derive from the collective unconscious and are the psychic counterpart of instinct.
They are inherited potentials which are actualized when they enter consciousness as images or manifest in behavior on interaction with the outside world. They are autonomous and hidden forms which are transformed once they enter consciousness and are given particular expression by individuals and their cultures.
Strictly speaking, Jungian archetypes refer to unclear underlying forms or the archetypes-as-such from which emerge images and motifs such as the mother, the child, the trickster, and the flood among others. It is history, culture and personal context that shape these manifest representations thereby giving them their specific content. These images and motifs are more precisely called archetypal images.
However it is common for the term archetype to be used interchangeably to refer to both archetypes-as-such and archetypal images.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper
"A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review.
Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of Humans' Innate Curiosity.
His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the Stages of Growth in Humans. Maslow used the terms Physiological, Safety, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, Self-Actualization, and Self-Transcendence to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.
Maslow studied what he called Exemplary People such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy." Maslow studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.
Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality. The hierarchy remains a Very Popular Framework in sociology research, management training and secondary and higher psychology instruction.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – "First in, last out."
That's the edict that almost always dictates how the PGA Tour arranges its weekend pairings at each event. The first person to post his score at a given number is the last of those at that number to tee off in the following round, and vice versa.
As a result, many assumed that Tiger Woods, who holed out just ahead of Sergio Garcia on the 18th green Sunday morning, would play in the final pairing with David Lingmerth, as all three players finished the first 54 holes at 11 under. Instead, the rules dictate that Garcia will play this afternoon along with the unheralded Swede, while Woods will join Casey Wittenberg in the penultimate pairing.
The Players: Articles, videos, photos | GC coverage | Social Lounge
Here's the breakdown: because Woods and Garcia played together in the third round and went on to post the same 54-hole score, the priority for final-round pairings reverted back to how the third round began. Because Garcia, who led by one shot after 36 holes, had the honors on the first tee Saturday, he will tee off after Woods on Sunday.
According to PGA Tour officials, the rule is in place at all of their events, not just The Players Championship, and has long been the preferred method of breaking such an unusual deadlock.
With the final round now underway, Garcia and Lingmerth will be the last two players to tee off at 2:38 p.m., while Woods and Wittenberg will start their rounds just ahead of them at 2:28 p.m. Henrik Stenson and Ryan Palmer, both just one shot off the lead at 10 under, will play together in the 2:18 p.m. pairing.

After reviewing the customer issues with our secure PDF application LockLizard we have decided to switch back to standard PDFs. You will find in the next coming days that the existing products secured using LockLizard available through your members' site account in standard PDF format.
The idea behind us using LockLizard was to cut down on the amount of piracy our support team has to deal with on a daily basis. BUT if our measures to fight piracy cause our paying customer's headaches then it's not a good solution.
We have implemented a few new solutions to deal with piracy and one of them uses steganography to ensure that each user's PDF is unique in addition to the standard watermarks (email address, IP address, etc). This means that even if a user removes the watermark and reprints or converts the PDF into a new PDF it will still be identifiable by our support team as to who's account it came from. We had to add some bigger servers for this since the PDFs are generated on the fly. We additionally had a crawler written that goes out and looks for pirated material and then automatically gets the files removed.
Lastly anyone want to buy a $10,000+ secure PDF application

Thanks! IE's customer service wins again!
Brian, from a Mac and Linux-only user: thank you thank you thank you thank you! One less excuse for letting Microsoft into my life, even in VMware.
[...] finally announced that they will no longer use LockLizard and use standard PDFs instead in this blog post, they also announced some new anti piracy measures such as steganography and anti piracy bots. For [...]
it's a good news for me, since I'm using mac.
One of the first two CCIE sites I opened on my SuSE box, and I have this great news about removing LockLizard. I can now opened these files on Linux again. Thanks IE team. I am not sure if the 2 prints of the document still apply?
Heh nevermind … I should have read the forums first for this question
[...] In other IE related news, IE has decided to nix LockLizard. LockLizard is PDF security software. IE started using it with the beta releases of the new Volume I v5 workbook. In order to open a PDF you needed to have LockLizard installed on your machine (Windows only – no Linux/Mac) and have a license from the publisher. I used it briefly with the betas and it did make reading the PDFs a little sluggish. I think that there were issues with needing to renew the license every couple of weeks and printing/number of computers used as well. LockLizard was implemented to reduce piracy, but the end user experience was bad enough that IE is yanking it: [...]
If it supported the MAC platform I may have been ok.
I must admit I had a few problems with Locklizard to start with but then your support team sorted them and it has been plain sailing since then. I was not so keen on only being able to install it on two machines and this is good news for Mac and Linux users. So now lets hope your customers are good back to you and do not distribute your stuff illegally.
I prefer to see grading script for each lab.
I'm glad to hear that piracy is limited this way.
However, I feel sad that I'll no longer enjoy the freedom of using Adobe reader on Windows/Linux/BSD/..etc. Also I noticed it runs slower on my IBM laptop when compared to standard Adobe readers.
Hi Brian and Brian,
I personally have had no problems with Locklizard but I take it that others have. I'd be upset if by removing Locklizard, the $1000s of dollars worth of material I buy from IE is freely available through Rapidshare and Megaupload and 4shared…
[...] Bye Bye LockLizard! [...]
Thanks. Good choice. That the way to go.
Thanks a million times. For some reason, everytime I had the locklizard file open, it would just suck the memory from my computer and I'd get all sorts of memory errors.
Life's so much easier now
Awesome. I am a currently going after a 2nd CCIE and are using you guys again to help me study. This will make things much better. I really disliked the password thing before.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Amazing It's too bad more folks don't know about this site, this covered what I needed today!
Tech Question:
Well, The Problem is that there are many forums that do Group Buys.
People pool money & purchase the stuff in fake names with Paypal/VCC's.
There are no track backs
Too bad that Cisco TKL also gave up to Lock Lizard. Instead, they are now using Araloc files, an even bigger pain to their customers.

Our brand began in 2000 with a simple little A-line dress sewn for friends and family. It was a practical, comfy shape that could be adjusted to suit the little girl as she grew. Each one was handmade using original vintage fabrics with lovingly stitched details like embroidery, special buttons or trims. Our original label Miamore emerged and gained representation in several Sydney boutiques.
Soon our range expanded to meet demand for interesting boys wear with the same quirky sensibility - the Raisin did it was born.
the Raisin did it has since grown to include all manner of girls and boys clothing and accessories with an emphasis on bold colours, vibrant patterns and animal motifs. We use a mixture of vintage and new fabrics and also hand screen-print many items with our original artworks to maintain a unique edge. The Raisin's creations are handmade in small quantities or as one-offs, each with an individual finishing touch. However, we believe that special things should be enjoyed everyday, so a Raisin treasure is always comfy, durable and affordable.
The Raisin's playful, happy aesthetic is inspired by childhood memories, imaginings, story books, nature and everyday life. We create products that are as special and rare as the little person who wears them.

MY STORY (English, Paperback, Kamala Das)
My Story is one of the most controversial and popular autobiographies written by an Indian author. Kamala Das has presented her life story in the form of a novel, being frank and strikingly sincere throughout. The autobiography is called Ente Katha in Malayalam.
Summary of the Book
Kamala Das (also known as Madhavikutty and Kamala Surayya) was always vocal about her experiences as a woman, writer, wife, mother and everything else that she was, through her writings. Ente Katha was serialized in the now defunct Malayalam weekly, Malayalanadu, in 1972. Kamala Das has spoken frankly about her marriage experiences, her children, extramarital affairs, her life as a famous and controversial writer. Although the novel evoked violent positive and equally negative reactions, its publication wasn't stopped. The novel was first published in English in February 1973, and has been translated into several other languages.
About Kamala Das
Kamala Das was born in 1934 in the Malabar District, British India. She was the poetry editor of Illustrated Weekly of India. She penned hundreds of poems and stories in both Malayalam and English. Her columns were famous and widely read in India, through which she addressed a wide spectrum of matters like child care, women's issues, and politics. She was also the esteemed VC of Kerala Sahitya Akademi, and the President of the Kerala Children's Film Society. Kamala Das was nominated for the 1984 Nobel Prize for Literature. Her works have been translated into several different Indian and foreign languages, including German, French, Russian, Japanese and more. She travelled to different countries to read poetry, including Adelaide Writer's Festival, South Bank Festival, London, and the University of Bonn. Das was honoured with the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award and the PEN Poetry Prize. In the year 1999, she was yet again in controversy as she converted to Islam and changed her name from Kamala Das to Kamala Surayya. She passed away in the year 2009, at the age of 75. Some of her most notable works as a writer are Sandal Trees, Only the Soul Knows How to Sing, A Childhood in Malabar: A Memoir, and The Kept Woman and Other Stories.

The surest thing there is is we are riders,
And though none too successful at it, guiders,
Through everything presented, land and tide
And now the very air, of what we ride.
What is this talked-of mystery of birth
But being mounted bareback on the earth?
We can just see the infant up astride,
His small fist buried in the bushy hide.
There is our wildest mount--a headless horse.
But though it runs unbridled off its course,
And all our blandishments would seem defied,
We have ideas yet that we haven't tried.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
2 to 3 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken
2 cups chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish
2 cups crumbled cotija cheese, shredded low-fat Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or 4-cheese Mexican mix, plus about 1/4 cup for garnish
2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles
About 2 cups tomatillo salsa, tomatillo sauce, or canned green enchilada sauce
16 to 18 corn tortillas
Coat a 9- by 13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, onion, cilantro, 2 cups cheese and green chiles. Mix well.
Pour about 3/4 cup salsa or sauce into a shallow dish. Pour another 1/4 cup onto the bottom of the casserole dish, and rotate the dish so the sauce covers the bottom.
Dip corn tortillas into the salsa or sauce, coating each one. Line the bottom of the casserole dish with tortillas, tearing them to fit into corners if needed.
Spread half the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas. Cover with another layer of coated tortillas, then a layer of the salsa or sauce. Evenly cover with remaining chicken mixture, then a final layer of coated tortillas. Spread with remaining sauce.
Sprinkle top layer with 1/4 cup cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle additional cilantro in a couple of straight lines or other decorative pattern. Serve while hot.
