And you thought nothing was being done about gangs!
Well, look to Milford. There an effort that engaged vigilant federal, state and local authorities scored a stunning victory the other day, crushing the notorious Los Bingos mob.
Los Bingos, a moniker I helpfully apply to this band of desperados, are the 20 or so senior citizens at the Island View Apartments who were caught red-handed perpetrating a bingo game without a license. Low-stakes bingo surely -- only a nickel a card -- but enough to bring down on themselves the hammer of the law.
This is a very strange world we live in.
Here we have a bunch of people nestled in what ought to be a season of greatly earned dignity and respect finding themselves on the wrong end of the system.
Over bingo.
"We never gave a thought to whether it was right or wrong," says Joseph Loturco, 72. "We were just looking to have a little fun. It's only a nickel a card, it probably didn't raise $5 a game, and that money went to the Social Club."
Someone complained, Loturco says, describing the complex energies and cliques of a retirement community. Since the 120-unit Island View is federally funded, the snitch called the Housing and Urban Development office in Hartford. Someone at HUD called the state gaming regulators. The gaming people -- responsible for the gadzillion-dollar legal gambling empire -- notified Milford police about the illegal competition from these oldsters gambling for pennies. On Halloween Eve, the police busted the Saturday night bingo game.
All by the book, mind you. The law and order fanatics would be proud. Others, anyone with an ounce of human understanding, might be surprised instead.
"It wasn't like a raid, they didn't arrest anyone or anything," recalls Loturco, who has lived at Island View for three years. "But several officers showed up and put up a sign saying, `No bingo, per order of the police.' We have a bunch of ladies in their 90s. Some were afraid they'd get in trouble and be evicted. You couldn't
imagine what a fear that is."
Well, of course no one will be evicted, but if a single soul ever had to worry a second about that terrifying prospect over such foolishness then someone needs to have his head examined -- and not a someone at the Island View retirement community.
"I guess we didn't do it right, even though it's all just outrageous," says Loturco in a bit of understatement. "This is ridiculous. This is our home. But what I'd like to know is, who complained? You can't blame HUD or the gambling commission or the police."
Yes I can.
Rules are rules, but nickel-bingo, for cryeye? I guess I hadn't noticed that the bureaucracies were all so wondrously efficient that every complaint gets this sort of mindless, brisk attention. In the scheme of criminal things, how big a deal is this?
Whatever happened to common sense? Mightn't someone at HUD -- an agency that has enjoyed scandals somewhat more serious than tolerating unregistered bingo -- just let this one get lost in the legendary paperwork? Or done something short of getting the ball rolling toward police intervention?
"Bingo is considered a form of gambling," says an official of the state department of special revenue. "While many may view it as recreation, the state is responsible for the integrity of legal gambling."
If the integrity of legal gambling is threatened by 20 senior citizens playing bingo on a Saturday night then everything's upside down. Legal gambling is multimillion-dollar lotteries, off-track betting, jai alai, Indians on the reservation operating a gigantic casino and megabuck bingo hall. If that is so fragile as to have its integrity challenged by 5-cent bingo with a dime-store tumbler raising coffee money for the social club then do away with the legal gambling.
And leave these people alone.
"People here have so little in their lives, but we do pretty good for ourselves," says Loturco, who is unsure whether they will go ahead and apply for the formal permission and set up the required records systems. "We don't want to break anyone's laws, but we thought anything that helps fill in the time with a little enjoyment is good."
Exactly. That's a simple truth more powerful than all the dusty rules so precious to those enforcers who ought to have something better to do with their time

Baby #3 = boy!!
We're thrilled! We would have been either way. Baby measured where it should and everything looked good. Wilson and Andy came with me while Luke was napping while Uncle Bill stayed over at our house. Wilson was really interested in the ultra sound jelly. Now we'll decide on a name!!
Andy, Alyssa, and the BOYS!!!
By the way, Wilson batted twice again at his game last night. I am such a proud mama! He overcame his fear! He even fielded a ball in the outfield!

Why Sound
You might already know about this, but I just stumbled across a new (?) all-ages music venue in Logan. Why Sound is located on 30 Federal Avenue. Its current lineup features Utah-based artists including Phil Leffer (formerly of St. Boheme--remember those dudes?), Libbie Linton, Kid Theodore and Emme Packer. Brooklyn's Blood On The Wall hits the club April 26. If anyone gets out there before I do, holla.

Posted by Dr. Ravi Gupta on Sunday, 22nd March 2009We have all been approached by our colleagues, friends, relatives and acquaintances for medical problems formally and sometimes embarrassingly informally at social gatherings and even at road side berms or in the corridors. We usually hesitatingly oblige them although we know that we are not practicing good medicine. These encounters frequently lead to inappropriate treatment. In the socially related patients, very often an inadequate history or l examination is performed. Many acquaintances just barge in to the consultation clinic embarrassing the treating doctor who is midway of his consultation with another patient. The situation gets further compounded, when the treating physician has previously been in a subordinate position, such as a medical student, or a junior attending physician. This can often adversely influence the treatment plan of the younger physician. In such situations if the treating physician is not able to maintain the control of the medical management of the patient, the medical literature recommends to terminate the doctor-patient relationship. It is also important to keep in mind that the visits with the acquaintance patient may, paradoxically, take longer than the typical office consultation. The social, hospital, and practice issues will often insinuate themselves into the conversation. Thus it is a good practice to schedule them at times when they will not interfere with other appointments. The anxiety of treating such patients and our effort to be extra vigilant makes us begin to doubt our usual protocols. There is a tendency to want to change our routine. It is important that the treating physician continue to practice what he or she would do for any patient with a similar problem without beginning to doubt what has worked well for all previous patients.
Finally, there may be a strong temptation to discuss the patients ailment with colleagues or other acquaintances resulting in the risk of rising of the ethical issues of a doctor patient relationship. There are some proposed guidelines for the treating physician which should make him ask the following questions before treating an acquaintance patient:
1. Can I remain objective in maintaining the doctor-patient relationship or is an inappropriate collegial rapport likely to ensue?
2. Do I have an excessive amount of anxiety that may jeopardize my ability to care for a colleague or friend?
3. Am I treating this patient in the same manner that I treat all of my other patients (e.g., with regard to history and physical examination, diagnostic testing, and treatment considerations)?
4. Have I carefully explained to this patient about the illness and the prognosis in the same detail that I would for a ordinary patient?
5. Have I clarified the boundaries of the prior existing relationship and made it comfortable for the patient to discuss freely, and to continue or terminate the relationship without sentiments of guilt or anxiety?
6. Can I maintain this patients confidentiality?
7. Can I always act for the good of this patient even if it means making decisions that may jeopardize the friendship?
Thus we should always try to ask these questions before continuing any doctor patient relationship otherwise there is a definite risk of causing avoidable medical errors and blunders, and our initial acts of pleasing our acquaintances will ultimately lead us to discover the truth in Clare Boothe Luces observation that no good deed goes unpunished.

Well, it is time for another Weight Watcher's dessert. Yes, I have a bunch of not-so-good-for- you recipes but I am trying to venture more into healthier desserts which Gene would never agree to. So, instead of a piece of Gene's Favorite Apple Pie try these tasty little treats. You get 4 wontons, with a dusting of powdered sugar and a 1/2 cup of light ice cream for 6 points per serving. I used a dollop of whipping cream instead and they were delicious.
WW Apple-Cinnamon Wontons
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and minced (I used McIntosh)
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 24 wonton wrappers
- butter-flavored spray
- 1-1/2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
- 3 cups light vanilla ice cream (or use a dollop of light whipping cream)
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray or use parchment paper on your baking pan.
Combine apples, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon; toss to coat.
Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop a round tsp. of the apple mixture towards the end of one corner. Moisten the edges of the wontons and fold over one corner to make a triangle; press sides together to seal. Transfer the wontons to a prepared baking sheet and spray with a butter-flavor spray.
Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Place 4 wontons on 6 individual plates and sift confectioners' sugar on top. Serve with 1/2 cup of light ice cream or a dollop of whipping cream.

New Years Resolutions
January 3, 2011
With the new year rolling through, it has given me some time to ponder previous goals, while setting my current goals higher.
Last year's highlights included:
- Performing Myaskovsky Symphony #27 with MusicaNova. (Video with me playing 1st, Hannah Selznick playing EH solo)
- Doing a recital in April.
- Playing in the Mozart Concerto Masterclass for Gordon Hunt.
- Making great strides in rounding out my tone and quickening my technique.
My current resolutions are:
- Finish going through all of the Gillet Studies with Martin. (I've currently gotten through #3.)
- Stay playing a single oboe for the entire year.
- Make less reeds, Practice more frequently and efficiently.
For almost 4 straight years, I have bought and sold oboes three or four times a year. Last year I started off with the Hiniker and the MJ Loree. I sold the MJ and bought and English Horn early in the spring. The summer I put the Hiniker on auction (and it remains for sale with Peter Hurd) and bought two C series. This fall I sold both C series oboes, and bought a Cocobolo lined Howarth XL, and bought a BF Loree. I sold the BF Loree, and bought a CB Loree. Currently, I technically own the Hiniker, XL, and CB Loree, but the Loree and Hinker are for sale and I'm looking to buy a lined Yamaha Kingwood or a Grenadilla XL.
This year I've cut back on the reed business regular. I still make about 60 reeds for subscription reeds, but I no longer take any non-subscription orders except for a few customers who have purchased a lot from me in the past. I'm currently turning away new subscriptions and am trying to spend more time practicing. Learning Gillet studies, Lord knows I need every bit of practice time!

She Swims Towards the Sun
By now, everyone knows the various mediums Dave works in, but most of what you've seen from me has been jewelry. I had mentioned to Clyde, that I had several projects that I had been working on for years, not because they are necessarily complex, but rather due to my short attention span problem :) I thought if I posted one of them on the blog, that might prompt me to finish it.....we'll see.
This piece is called "She Swims Towards the Sun". The female walrus is represented in fossil walrus ivory shards and the rest of the rocks are treasures I found while living on Nye Beach, with the exception of the blue rocks which are chrysicolla from Arizona. The mosaic portion of this piece is complete, but the wooden tray it is on, is not. I wanted this piece to be functional, but now I can't decide how I want to finish the wood. To be perfectly honest, I think I'm just stalling because I'm afraid once it's completed and I put it out for the public to buy, they'll just look at it and think, "Why in the hell did she glue all those rocks on a tray?" :)

In only wooden bar stools you do not must invest at this time, because metal bar stools are as popular. The stool might have a variety of colours, some of which might arise as a result of triggers that are mild while life-threatening disease may causes some requiring immediate medical attention. What clear is these stools can work well in a number of situations and are made to serve a specific function on your seating area. The top rated outdoor bar stools are.

Kochan replaces Adrian Fure, who is leaving the area to pursue professional interests outside hockey.
The one-time NMU Wildcat is happy to be back in a hockey town, one with a very loyal following to the sport.
"This is a smart hockey town," Kochan said. "The fans here were great to play in front of; they know the game and will support all the hockey programs in Marquette. I'm looking forward to seeing ice in Lakeview Arena this fall and am anxious to coach at this level. To work with goaltenders and share what I've learned will be fun and will benefit all the players donning the Rangers sweater."
"This is just the next step in our evolution as an organization," said Rangers director of hockey operations Rich Tegge. "With the strides we have made as an expansion franchise, adding a quality person like Dieter to compliment our coaching staff will be huge for our players and organization. Dieter's playing experience and knowledge of the game will be a tremendous asset toward helping our players excel and reach the next level of their careers, be it college or pro."
The Madison, Wis., native was Vancouver's fourth round selection (98th overall) in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. He spent three seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning (including a stint with the IHL's Detroit Vipers) and also spent time in the Minnesota Wild and New York Islanders systems and was on the 2002 Calder Cup championship team with Houston in the AHL.
Kochan played at NMU from 1993-1997 under current NCAA champion Rick Comley, who is head coach of the Michigan State Spartans. Kochan is fourth all-time in the NMU record books in both games played (106) and saves (2,797) and is first all-time with five assists in a season and seven assists in a career.
Professionally, Kochan played in 379 games and had a career best season with AHL Bridgeport in 2003-2004, when he went 20-17-7 with a 1.87 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage. That season he shared the AHL's Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Trophy with teammate Wade Dubielewicz as the goaltending tandem that had the fewest goals against.

Notes and Rules Information for Celestial Archon:
- You don't choose whether the spell is going to be an Aura spell or not until the spell is already on the stack. Abilities that affect when you can cast a spell, such as flash, will apply to the spell after you've made this choice. For example, an effect that said you can cast creature spells as though they have flash won't allow you to cast a creature card with bestow as an Aura spell anytime you could cast an instant, but one that said you can cast Aura spells as though they have flash will. (2013-09-15)
- On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It's never both, although it's an enchantment spell in either case. (2013-09-15)
- Unlike other Aura spells, an Aura spell with bestow isn't countered if its target is illegal as it begins to resolve. Rather, the effect making it an Aura spell ends, it loses enchant creature, it returns to being an enchantment creature spell, and it resolves and enters the battlefield as an enchantment creature. (2013-09-15)
- Unlike other Auras, an Aura with bestow isn't put into its owner's graveyard if it becomes unattached. Rather, the effect making it an Aura ends, it loses enchant creature, and it remains on the battlefield as an enchantment creature. It can attack (and its {T} abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it's been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began. (2013-09-15)
- If a permanent with bestow enters the battlefield by any method other than being cast, it will be an enchantment creature. You can't choose to pay the bestow cost and have it become an Aura. (2013-09-15)
- Auras attached to a creature don't become tapped when the creature becomes tapped. Except in some rare cases, an Aura with bestow remains untapped when it becomes unattached and becomes a creature. (2013-09-15)
- An Aura that becomes a creature is no longer put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action. Rather, it becomes unattached and remains on the battlefield as long as it's a creature. While it's a creature, it can't be attached to another permanent or player. An Aura that's not attached to a legal permanent or player as defined by its enchant ability and also isn't a creature will be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action. (2013-09-15)

Because of a nondisclosure agreement, the researchers can't reveal the exact source of their subjects, describing it only as an "established, marriage-oriented, subscription-based dating site" from which they randomly selected 1855 people, all based in New York City.
Those 30 million people have generated billions of pieces of data.
And because most dating sites ask users to give consent for their data to be used for research purposes, this online courting has played out like an enormous social science experiment, recording people's moment-by-moment interactions and judgments.(University of Bath Study, 2005) Statistics show that internet dating is big business with leading sites such as Yahoo Personals and drawing in 4.9 million visitors and 4.2 million visitors respectively in January 2004 alone.(Blazier, 2004) So just how successful is internet dating as a means of meeting new people?The economy may be struggling, but these days Cupid has found some profitable new niches.With about 95 million single adults in the United States, the online matchmaking industry is booming, to the tune of a billion dollars in revenue projected for 2012.The scope of people it appeals to is far reaching with men and women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities interested.

Furman Hits the Road With Hadouken!
U.K. Electronica/Dance Band to Use M-10x E Power Conditioners on April 2012 U.K. Tour
PETALUMA, Calif. -- April 26, 2012 -- Furman today announced that U.K. electronica/dance band Hadouken! is taking the company's Merit Export Series M-10x E power conditioners on the road for its April 2012 U.K. tour.
Since 2007, Hadouken! has achieved commercial and critical success with its albums "Music for an Accelerated Culture" and "For the Masses," and toured with the likes of Pendulum, Example, Professor Green, and Plan B. The band earned a reputation as a live act not to be missed after playing a packed schedule of major festivals including Radio 1's Big Weekend, Carling's Reading and Leeds, Underage, and Relentless NASS.
To ensure memorable performances on its upcoming April 2012 U.K. tour, Hadouken! is using multiple Furman M-10x E power conditioners provided by distributor Fuzion Ltd. The units will provide the band's wide range of sensitive equipment with noise-free power for optimal performance on 13 tour dates, while protecting components from damage caused by surges and other power anomalies from venue to venue.
"As a dance act, trying to recreate the tunes from the studio in a live format means we're reliant on a lot of technology on stage," said Hadouken! bassist Chris Purcell. "We chose Furman power conditioners as our insurance policy to keep that technology running exactly as it should."
Ideally suited for professional commercial installations and music industry applications, the M-10x E single-space, rackmount power conditioner offers surge/spike protection, AC noise filtration, and a robust steel chassis. The unit provides 10 filtered and protected rear-panel outlets with a front-panel convenience outlet and "Protection OK" indicator light.
More information on Furman's Merit X Series of power conditioners is available at www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=03&id=MeritXSeriesE.
More information about Hadouken! and its April 2012 U.K. tour is available at www.hadouken.com.

Browse these faux finish painters with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Berwyn.
Quick response, excellent advice, finished the work quickly! Will definitely use Juan again!
From the start Scott has been easily accessible. He answers his phone or calls back promptly. He arrives on time and finishes in a timely manner. He cares about his work and he listens to the client with interest and concern. I think he did an outstanding job and I would easily recommend him.
Ken and his crew fixed 2 broken fence posts. Easy to deal with (home for sale and needed quick service). Ken took a look at the fence, provided a written quote, and then scheduled & finished the project (weather permitted, as the rain held up our schedule).
did a great job from start to finish
I had the walls and tile of my shower replaced. Even though I set him up for success by doing the tear out of my shower myself and bought all the supplies. Ron came in, did exactly as we talked about, he had a tile guy to do the rest of the job and everything was done quickly and completely and I could not be happier with both the work done and what it cost which I thought was very reasonable. And what made me even happier, though I wish Ron had brought it up but glad his tile guy did. He suggested tiling the ceiling of the shower which I had not considered and needed to be sanded and painted anyhow. It finished off the job beautifully. I am happy to recommend Ron and if need arrises will happily hire him again.
Manuel and his crew were outstanding. He was a quick responder to all my messages, had great pictures of his work, came to my house and quoted and was ready to start in 3 days! They carefully masked everything and spray painted the trim, top and bottom! Then applied paint to 6 rooms and hallways. His quote was VERY realistic and reasonable and because of his availability, I decided not to get the traditional 3rd quote. They worked hard for 6+ days and got everything done. I was away when they finished up and they rehung two heavy items on the wall and brought most of the living room furniture back down from where they had moved it upstairs. The job they did was beautiful and I couldn't be more pleased. I plan to have them back to now do the upper level later this year as soon as I have more funds available! Highly recommend them!
Karol came out to replace the entry door and did a great and clean job finishing the work. He promised the same estimate he gave on phone and did a fantastic job. Though it was getting dark some minor work was pending and he took care of the same the next day. He not only fixes doors but a lot of other interior work. He said he has over 12 years of experience in construction and his work proves it. Definitely a person we can trust and hire to do any job.
Walt was incredible start to finish! I couldn't be happier with this piece. We can't stop talking about how much we love it. He was so kind, accommodating, responsive, quick and professional! I would highly recommend him!
we have hired CALI to replace an old sunroom by a new construction. It was a big job that took time but the result is great. Claudio and his team built a new room that is about 900 sf. large. They put a new roof with skylights, installed French doors and windows, new tiles and parquet floor and a wood burning furnace. As I said, it took and some patience on both sides but it was worth waiting. We are still working on finishing the interior but doing it on our own time. Thanks Claudio for a job well done at a very reasonable price too.
Kris has done many jobs for me. As a designer , I am always looking for good trades people. Kris surpasses all. He is excellent at his faux finishes. All of my clients LOVE him, as do I. He is professional , clean, on time and very good at his job. I highly recommend him!
Jacek was a godsend in the midst of my first home buying experience and major renovation project. I originally engaged Jacek to perform some wood restoration work on some wooden beams that run across ceiling of my living room. These pine beams were original from when the home was built in 1889 so I wanted a wood restoration specialist with experience in restoring older homes. Jacek fit this mold. The scope was quickly expanded upon seeing the quality of Jacek's work and the passion he had for painting, home renovation and also design work. I ended up having Jacek paint and repair the drywall in nearly every room in the new home I purchased. While time consuming, his attention to detail and insistence that each crack, imperfection or break in the drywall be repaired prior to painting paid HUGE dividends as the walls are now closer to the quality of a new construction home vs. a +125 year old house. Jacek was also able to help me source a reputable carpenter and drywaller (both of which did an outstanding job) for a fraction of the cost of what general contractors / carpenters from Angie's List were trying to charge. Jacek's price was also extremely reasonable in a world where many contractors are only focused on the bottom line and quality of work is an afterthought. While we did go over budget from the original estimate, the overages I paid to Jacek were WELL WORTH IT as he made sure the work was done properly before checking out and stayed a couple extra days to finish the last 5-10% of the work. Outstanding job Jacek. I'm also planning to post some before and after pics of Jacek's work in my West Town Home on the Unique Painting and Decorating Studio Facebook website (he needs more pictures of his work).
Geoff and his team worked quickly and tirelessly on our deck rebuild project. He was great about getting back to me anytime I had a question on timing and next steps. We had a deadline in mind for a party we'd planned months in advance, and they not only worked in between sporadic rain and sweltering heat spells, they finished the new deck just in the nick of time for our party. We absolutely love our new deck, and are so happy to have found Meyer enterprises.
I was very happy about my experience with Gonzalez Landscaping. They are hard working people with excellent work ethics. They showed up on my property early in the morning, just as they promised they would. They started their job with good planning. Things went nice and smooth. They cut down four trees, chopped up the wood in firewood size, laid them neatly by the fence, hauled branches away, and even cleaned up the yard for me. Everything was finished in 2 or 3 hours. No damage, no mess. Four people coordinated very well, because they know what they are doing. I highly recommend Gonzalez and will use them again.
I hired Jan to replace two rotted wood pillars at the front of my house. He returned a few days later and started work on time as promised. One side did not come out perfectly straight and Jan took the initiative to redo do it without me having to ask. I will hire again.
very professional arrived on timeand finished on time. Cleaned up after themselves. great work ethic strong workers i would highly recommend. Very personable as well.
April has faux finished and painted 5 rooms in my home that are beautiful!! She is very professional, pays attention to detail and made suggestions that were VERY helpful in our final product. She has a very creative eye for color, finish and quality and works diligently to achieve this. I would highly recommend April, a joy to work with!! Debra, Granger, IN
Excellent Painting painted my front porch as well as some other areas around my house. They did a great job & finished in the time they promised. Both painters were friendly, helpful & professional. I highly recommend this company.
Eric came in and patched all the holes and made the house look fantastic. He finished 2400 sq ft house in 3 days. There were alot of patching and my realtor was impressed as well.
Tucker's Painting and Decorating repaired and replaced boards and other parts of our deck that had started some showing bad wear and tear. The deck was properly prepared and stained with a high end product from B. Moore. The job was finished in good time and good weather conditions. Happy with the pricing, very fair. I would highly recommend this company.
I hired Steve to repair a hole in my plaster ceiling as well as several cracks. Steve showed up on time for the estimate, was very thorough and friendly. He communicated very well throughout the process and answered any questions I had. The job was finished quickly and smoothly. I will definitely be using Steve for some future projects.
Absolute perfection! From price to quality of work to on time completion. New Generation are complete professionals. Jesus and his team removed our existing ceramic tile floor, cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen and replaced it all with a new floor, new cabinets an new granite counter tops. Jesus has a keen eye to detail and is a problem solver when the occasions occur. A quick phone call from him explaining his solution eliminated any potential down time for us. Jesus and his team went over and beyond our expectations, mostly because of their willingness to complete the whole project from start to finish. Nothing was a problem for them even when my husband and I added something new, or changed our minds about something. Jesus worked with us every step of the way to insure we were completely satisfied with their work. We highly recommend them and look forward to using them again for our next project. Linda & Randy Kerns Lombard, IL.

Favourite Cat Terms
Our favourite cat terms have to be the following:
Stinky Goodness: Do you know how hard it was to ask for this stuff when you don't know the proper name?
Dingleberry: This sounds so much more defined and less gross than butt-poo.
Niptini: 'Nuff said.

I had no idea a halftime show existed for the Pro Bowl. So I did a search on youtube and found out that for 2009, it was Ciara and Enrique Iglesias. It was a fairly weak performance as far as they go. But I suppose if you are a fan of the music it may be alright. The two just don't really look like they are giving it their all on the stage. It may have to do with the fact that their voices are being electronically manipulated out the *$#. I imagine a lot less heart goes into it that way.

Problems moving directories
Mar 3, 2009 9:09 AM
I needed to re-arrange my drives some. I had originally had some videos on the S: drive. I moved them to the W: drive. I completely deleted everything from my Adobe Catalog. I readded my pictures and they worked fine. Adding Videos has been problematic. I point to the video I wish to import. For example W:\Working\Tape99\Tape99 01.avi. It says it imports it. However, by selecting show folder location in the organizer, it has linked the file to the old S:\Working directory, and shows a greyed out directory name like S:\Working\Tape99\Tape99 01.avi, and basically thinks the file is disconnected.
I have searched all over the application to find where this magic "default" setting is coming from, I can't find it. I have searched the internet and haven't been able to find it. I really don't want to swap the W: drive back to the S: drive, and by all rights I shouldn't have to. I am on the verge of wiping out my entire Adobe install and trying again from scratch, but I have a bad feeling that the problem will still remain.
I am open to any suggestions or hints that could help with this. I spent a lot of time re-cataloging all of the pictures which works fine, and the video import should link to where the file came from not some old directory.
Thanks for your help.

Since you likely didn't use your Organizer to move your files around, it's become confused.
You may want to try rebuilding your Organizer, as described in the FAQs at the top of this forum.

Grain-free Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Tart {Paleo, Gluten-free + Vegan} + Video
As if I could find a better pairing, two of my favorite foods come together in the perfect marriage, for this rich, silky, decadent treat that's low carb, low in sugar, grain-free and vegan. The smooth fruity taste of Terra Delyssa's organic extra virgin olive oil is the perfect compliment to super dark chocolate and in all it's impressiveness this dessert comes together in no time.
Truth be told, I am not much of a baker. Mostly it comes from a lack of caring about most baked goods and sweets. I know you've heard this story before, in the nearly 8 years of Tasty Yummies. What I do love, admittedly daily, is a couple of squares of high quality super duper dark chocolate. It's really just about all I need.
Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches {+ Video} – Paleo-friendly
With summer upon us frozen treats are a must, but no need to wreck your body in the process. These Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches feature my popular almond butter chocolate chip cookies and a banana soft serve filling. Made without dairy or grains and they are low in sugar.
[This is an updated post from 2013.]
It's truly been years since I have had an old school ice cream sandwich, ya know the ones, soft chocolate cookies, vanilla ice cream filling. While working an event a few years back, I came across a food truck that specialized in just ice cream sandwiches and they actually had a gluten-free and dairy-free option for someone like me. YAY! It was delicious and messy but probably loaded with sugar and lots of other stuff I prefer not to eat. It immediately got the gears turning in my head. I wanted to make a more healthful ice cream sandwich myself and I of course just needed to find the time to actually play with some recipe ideas.
I know we have all seen the one or two ingredient banana ice cream that has been making it's rounds all over the internet for the last few years. If you haven't tried it yet, you must. Stop what you are doing right now, put those bananas in the freezer and make some yummy dairy-free ice cream alternative. It is simple to make and sooo surprisingly creamy and delicious. I realized it would make the perfect ice cream sandwich filling since it is creamy, simple to make and literally has nothing more than bananas in it. A great compliment to some grain-free, dairy-free cookies!
How-to Make Easy Chia Seed Jam {+ Video}
This Easy Chia Seed Jam is a wonderful way to preserve the fresh fruit of the season and enjoy delicious homemade jam without artificial colors and flavors or an ungodly amount of sugar. It's a breeze to make, ready in about 15 minutes, plus there is no canning equipment necessary and you can control the level of sweetness leaving out refined sugar and instead using natural sweeteners like honey, maple or any other alternative you choose (or leave it out altogether and go al naturale).
Best part, this simple chia seed jam formula works with nearly any fruit you'd like, so go with the best the current season has to offer and get creative. Try strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, cranberries, apples, pears, peaches, plums, etc. Experiment with blending various fruits and if you really want to have some fun, add in vanilla bean, fresh herbs or spices, rosemary, basil, fresh mint, cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger – the flavor combos are endless, really.
Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches – Gluten-free + Dairy-free

A great compliment to some grain-free dairy-free cookies!
I am sharing the cookie recipe over on Free People today as part of my ongoing Restricted Diets series with them and so I expanded on the recipe to make this a two-for-one deal; a cookie recipe and a bonus ice cream sandwich recipe! Plus, we had our friends Dan and Debbie over earlier this week to celebrate Dan's birthday, so I wanted to make something special for him that we could all enjoy. Debbie is experimenting with a gluten-free and dairy-free diet, so I am pretty sure her mind was blown that these were OK for her to eat! They were a hit, I don't think anyone believed me that the filling was just bananas and the cookies were totally grain-free!! I love recipes like that. Read the rest of this entry »
Dark Chocolate Red Wine Truffles – Gluten-Free + Vegan
These truffles really will knock your socks off. They are rich and dreamy. They are luxurious and just one or two truffles will satisfy even the most hardcore of chocolate lovers' cravings. The red wine taste is quite subtle but you really get it at the end. It is smooth and it finishes it so perfectly. I am not sure if anyone else enjoys sitting down with a nice full-bodied glass of red wine with a super high quality bite of dark chocolate. One of my most favorite flavor combinations ever.
Lots of love to you all today! In addition to making Valentine's Day about your one true love whom you will likely shower with gifts and love, let's look at it as a day to embrace love all around us. Including the love you should be showing yourself, your body and your health every single day of the year. This is the one and only body we will be given (at least in this lifetime), let's do everything we can to protect it and give it the best. Every single day.
[print_this]Dark Chocolate Red Wine Truffles – Gluten-Free + Vegan
makes about 24+ truffles (depending on their size)
- 1/2 cup full-fat organic coconut milk (the canned kind, I like Native Forest)
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
- 10 ounces high-quality vegan dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) – chopped – I used 85% Dark Chocolate
- 1/4 cup full-bodied red wine (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Bordeaux, Malbec, etc)
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, for rolling
other options for rolling: coconut, almonds
In a double boiler, heat coconut oil and coconut milk over a low/medium heat, whisking until just melted and well incorporated. Add the chocolate, stirring continuously, not allowing it to heat too quickly. Just as soon as it is melted, remove from the heat, add the wine and stir very well to make sure it is all well incorporated and smooth. You have to be very careful with dark chocolate, it can very easily seize up if heated too quickly.
Pour into a 8×8 baking dish or a pie pan and refrigerate until the mixture is mostly set, but still pliable, about 45 minutes to an hour or so (it may take longer depending on the depth of your pan). Using a 1″ melon baller or a tablespoon, scoop out the chocolate and roll into balls using your hands. Place the cocoa power onto a small plate and roll the balls in the cocoa powder to coat, you can also put the cocoa powder in your hands and roll them around that way. Set them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Once all have been rolled, place the sheet into the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, up to overnight to fully set.
Store the finished truffles in the refrigerator.
These truffles will keep up to two weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes, just before serving. [/print_this]
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles – Gluten-free + Vegan
What better gift to give than the gift of chocolate, right? These dark chocolate peppermint truffles are sure to leave a smile on any chocoholic's face. Especially when they find out you made these just for them.
These truffles are simple to make and they are naturally both gluten-free and vegan. Additionally, they are low in sugar and very simple to make. A few ingredients, a few minutes at the stove and that's about it. You can even play around with the recipe and leave out the peppermint and roll them into other goodies, like chopped nuts, coconut, melted chocolate or chocolate bits, etc. Make this recipe your own and customize it for whomever will be receiving it.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Bread with Crystallized Ginger and Walnuts
Well, the last week has been another crazy one for us. We have a ton of awesome projects happening, we had our Fab.com sale and we were in Birmingham, Alabama meeting with a client and taking reference photos of the city for some illustration work we are doing for them. It has been a fun whirlwind. Of course, this means my time in the kitchen has been limited and therefore my posts on here limited, as well. I have had some fun ideas for things I want to make, but finding the time has been difficult. Thankfully, I made a big batch of delicious pasta (inspired by a post on Pinterest) last weekend and have been living off of it all week. I made my version with gluten-free penne, butternut squash, dried cranberries, sliced fennel and a bit of parmesan. It was simple to make and I made a large enough amount, so it worked perfect for dinners and lunches on the fly all week, when I didn't have the time or the ingredients to make anything else.
After taking some time last night to plan a few meals for the week, I finally was able to get to the farmers market and the grocery store this morning to stock up. Even though I had some work to get done, our assistant was here helping us print posters and it was generally a madhouse, I wanted to make the time this morning, regardless of all that was going on, to bake some pumpkin bread, to use up one of the pie pumpkins I have had for a few weeks.
When creating this recipe, I decided that the bread had to include the typical lovely spices that sing so beautifully with pumpkin, a nut or seed of some kind and I wanted something else. I was debating between dried cranberries or some other dried fruit or chocolate chips and then I thought of crystallized ginger bits. I thought they would compliment the pumpkin and other spices perfectly. I was right, the combination of pumpkin and the spices with the walnuts and the ginger was perfection. There is a subtle kick from the ginger that is so nice. This bread isn't too sweet, so it would be perfect as breakfast or dessert. It would also be great with a thin layer of butter or cream cheese spread on. You could leave out the ginger and nuts or substitute whatever you'd like there, pecans, pistachios or any other nut or seed would be great, as well as raisins, dried currants, cranberries, chocolate chips, etc. Have fun with it.
I've really been enjoying creating my own blends of flours for baking, either individually for each recipe, or in a large batch as an all-purpose blend to use for a couple different recipes. I really love Gluten-free Girl's ratio of 70% whole grains plus 30% starches for creating a great gluten-free whole-grain all-purpose flour that you don't need to add xanthan gum to. It is so versatile since you can really use whatever you have on hand or can easily find at the store in any amounts or combinations, as long as the ratio remains 70% to 30%. I definitely have my favorite flours that I use all the time, but this ratio is so great for people with other food sensitivities to nuts or corn, etc.
This time around I created a 700 gram blend of almond, millet, buckwheat and teff flours and then added in a 300 gram blend of tapioca and arrowroot starches. I mixed them all together and placed them in a large storage container. I used just 250 grams of that all-purpose blend for this bread and I put the rest aside for another recipe. You could certainly use just one flour and one starch if you don't feel like blending or buying multiples, but I have really found that a couple of different types of flours and starches really builds a much better base. See the list below that Shauna recommends and play around with what you love.
Shauna recommends the following grains for the blend:
Brown Rice
Sweet Brown Rice
and the following starches:
Potato Starch
Tapioca Flour
White Rice Flour
Pumpkin Spice Bread with Crystallized Ginger and Walnuts
Makes one loaf
2 large farm fresh brown eggs (use an egg-replacer to make vegan)
3/4 cup coconut sugar (regular raw sugar, maple sugar, sucanat or brown sugar would also work)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup fresh pureed pumpkin (canned will also work)
1/4 cup almond milk (cow's milk or other non-dairy milk will also work)
250 grams of your favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour blend – see above notes on what I used (this can be anywhere between 1 1/2 – 2 cups of flour depending on what you are using, but I really recommend weighing)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, roughly chopped into little bits (reserving approximately 1 tablespoon for the topping)
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped into little bits (reserving approximately 1 tablespoon for the topping)
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease and flour a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.
Sift the dry ingredients (flour, spices, salt, baking soda and baking powder) together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In the large bowl of your stand mixer, beat the eggs and coconut sugar together until very well combined and fluffy. Approximately 3-5 minutes. Slowly while the mixer is running, pour the oil into the sugar and egg mixture, then add in the pumpkin, almond milk and vanilla, allow the mixture to mix another a minute or two until everything is well combined.
Then add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. A little at a time, while the mixer is running on a low-speed. Mix until well blended. Then fold the crystallized ginger and walnuts into the batter. Mix the remaining crystallized ginger and walnuts together and set aside.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the ginger and walnut mixture all over the top. Place on the center rack in the oven and back until the top is golden brown, about an hour. Make sure a cake tester or knife comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then gently turn the bread out of the pan (being careful not to knock all the nuts and ginger off) and allow it to finish cooling on a wire rack.
Gluten-Free Apple Spice Cake
This afternoon when I took a break from work to have lunch, I was struggling to figure out what to make since our fridge is looking a bit bare. We are leaving Monday morning to go to Birmingham for a job we are working on, so we are nearing the end of the planned meals and the groceries I bought earlier in the week. As I sat thinking for a minute, it came to me, I made a chickpea, kale, sun-dried tomato salad with goat cheese and a homemade multi-grain mustard vinaigrette, on the side I toasted up one of those delicious gluten-free multi-grain rolls I had made earlier in the week and topped it with a tad bit of garlic butter and small sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano. As I was "whipping" this all up, Mark sat down to eat his lunch, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and he started laughing at me and my creation. First he told me how jealous he was of my lunch and that he wished he had waited to see what I came up with. Then, he asked 'what is your first memory of really loving good food. Like, at what age do you remember thinking, THIS is really good food?'
It was such a good question, I really had to think about it. I didn't really have one solid memory, I just always remember loving good home-cooked food. Besides the traditional and super delicious Greek foods my dad and his family always made for holidays and the like, my parents cooked dinner every single night for us. My dad did the majority of the cooking, my mom most of the baking, but my mom had some really classic and comforting dishes, that I still think very fondly of now as an adult. One of my favorite memories growing up, that I always think of, was when my mom would make her homemade tomato sauce, totally from scratch, and the whole house would fill with the amazing smell of her sauce. I love my mom's sauce so much. I used to come into the kitchen quite often while it would simmer away and grab the spoon and take a huge taste. I would sometimes grab a bowl from the cupboard and just ladle a ton of the sauce into it, maybe a meatball or two and just spoon it into my mouth like soup. It was so good. She never bought the jarred spaghetti sauce crap. It was that way for almost everything my family made. There was a major emphasis on homemade food. I am sure that is a large part of where I got my love of food and cooking from.
I asked Mark what he remembers and he told me about him being really young and biting into a really good ham sandwich and think "woah, this ham sandwich is REALLY really good" – haha. I can totally see a young, adorable little Mark all excited about his ham sandwich, likely served with some southern style sweet tea or orange soda on the side.
Can you remember the first time you really realized your love for good, home cooked food? Were you a kid? Or did you not really realize your love of food until you were an adult?
I made this cake yesterday morning. I was going to my sister's apartment for a party in the evening and she asked everyone to bring a snack and something to drink. Since I knew there would be tons of savory snack options and wine, I decided I wanted to bring a healthy fall inspired dessert and some spiced rum and apple cider. At first I thought about making my gluten-free apple crisp (well really it's my Mom's recipe), but then I thought up the idea of an apple cake made with some of that great almond flour that I am obsessed with and just a tad bit of honey and dates as the sweetener. Look at me, all confident after my cookie recipe last week. I baked a cake, guys! My own cake with my own recipe.
The cake turned out great, I honestly have to say I was a little surprised, I had visions of the entire thing sinking in, or just being totally tasteless. It was the right amount of moist, which I honestly was a bit worried about, it seemed like so many wet ingredients to me. The spices all sang in perfect harmony with the apples and the dates and the small amount of honey surprisingly made it the perfect amount of sweet. I honestly hate super sweet cake, I think that is one of the reasons I don't care for most cakes.
I cut into the cake to take photos to post the recipe here on the blog, but I didn't taste it before I brought it to my sister's. It seemed kinda tacky to show up with a whole cake, with one piece missing. So I served it up and crossed my fingers! Every one that tried it, loved it and some even asked for the recipe! Yay – success! This cake is gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free, it is also easily made vegan by substituting maple syrup for the honey.
[print_this]Gluten-free Apple Spice Cake
Serves 8-10
- 2 cups blanched almond flour (meal) – I like Honeyville
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup apple cider (unsweetened) (you could also try unsweetened apple sauce)
- 1/4 cup grape seed oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (cow's milks or other non-dairy milk should work as well)
- 1/2 cup honey (use maple syrup to make vegan)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 peeled and chopped medium-sized apples, reserve half (or more) of one peeled apple to slice thinly for the top of the cake (I used two very large Crispin apples that we picked last weekend at Blackman Homestead Farm)
- 8 or so Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped
Optional add ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or other nut
- 1/2 cup raisins or craneberries
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or raw sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Grease and lightly flour (I used sweet rice flour) a 9″ springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, chickpea flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, all the spices and the salt. Whisk together well so it's all evenly mixed.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together well the apple cider, grape seed oil, almond milk, honey, lemon juice and vanilla. Add the apple pieces and the finely chopped dates. Mix well to incorporate.
Pour the wet ingredients into dry and stir by hand to combine. Be sure it is well mixed and there are no flour lumps.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared springform pan and top with the remaining apple slices in a circular pattern . Use as many or as few slices as you'd like. (I actually wish I had used a few more apple slices, but I was afraid to overdo it.) Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle the mixture on top of the cake.
Bake the cake for about 60-70 minutes or until a tester or a very thin knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 15-20 minutes, or longer before removing the ring on the springform pan, you may need to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a think spatula or knife. Slice with a sharp knife and serve slightly warm or at room temperature. [/print_this]

The Summer Olympics 2008 are over already and they left me wanting more. Everywhere I go I imagine I see hot boys tumbling, the haberdasher, the grocer, the fishmonger, all make appearances in my gymnasty fantasy. These two boys at the beach working up an act of Duel Double Partner Companion Nude Handstand Pushup Posing really turned me on.
Nice form,
Clean lines,
I give them…from what I can see of it…about a three out of a possible nine.

From the other reviews that I read, I hoped that Mike would be a good fit for our projects it turns out that good fit is an understatement. We had a variety of projects, from minor plumbing repair to laying floor tile to installing doors and casing, and Mike was able to do all of it, and he did everything very well. His promptness and affordability were a bonus. Were already planning to have him do more work for us.
They showed up on time and completed the work to my satisfaction. I am engaging them for additional services as they do more than just plumbing. Patrick was prompt and I look forward to having him back.
Charles did a fantastic job. He was quick to respond, gave a hassle-free quote, and made time in his schedule to fix some serious plumbing issues that had been going on for years within days of his initial visit. This was one of the best experiences I've had in hiring a plumber. And believe me. All plumbers aren't created equal. He's my go to guy now and if you give him a chance, he might be yours too.
Never really had a need to call a plumber but the Plumbing Experts is o great outfit. Called and got same day service for a very affordable price. They sent Eric who was professional from start to finish.
My proposed vent repair involved tearing out a ceiling. That would have made it a three-day project. Mike, from Above and Beyond proposed venting in the opposite direction through an unfinished store room. The job was done in three hours, and the installation showed masterful engineering and craftsmanship. Their slogan says it all, "If I can't fix it, it ain't broke."

The phrase 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones' has never been more pertinent.
I present for you, 10 common traits of bad copywriters.
1. Too many exclamation marks!
Donald Trump is the perfect example! The President-elect fills his tweets with exclamations!
F. Scott Fitzgerald likened the use of an exclamation mark to the author laughing at their own joke! Terry Pratchett described the use of multiple exclamation marks as a "sure sign of a diseased mind"!
2. Bullet points that don't make sense
This bugs me every time. Your bullets should follow on from your lead-in sentence, and should not be capitalised.
Pearls can be found:
- in the sea
- at a jewellers
Pearls can be found:
- The sea
- Go to a jewellers
3. Formal words
The GOV.UK style guide advises the use of 'buy' instead of 'purchase', 'help' instead of 'assist', and 'about' instead of 'approximately'.
Plain English is important. Ditch the formal words.
4. Long sentences
Apparently, long copy outsells short copy, though you'll have to go and find the study yourself.
Overly short sentences can indeed be cryptic, but long sentences are even worse (in my opinion).
Check long sentences to see if you can split them.
5. The passive voice
'Accenture recently bought the agency Karmarama.' - The active voice.
'The agency Karmarama was recently bought by Accenture.' - The passive voice.
I'm guilty of using the passive voice too often. You can spot it by its use of the verb be and a past participle. Learn more from the British Council's summary.
6. Too many adjectives
Here's an excruciating example I have managed to squeeze out of my keyboard:
Visit our fantastically relaxing spa for a wonderfully chilled-out break with your favourite girlfriends!
Too many adjectives can obscure the message you are trying to get across, making it difficult to take it all in at a glance. Overuse of adjectives is also arguably an attempt at 'telling' rather than 'showing'.
You can't convince your customers of just how relaxing the spa is simply by adding superlatives. You need to add context, detail (what are the facilities?) and imagery.
7. Starting successive sentences or paragraphs with the same word
The word 'the' is seemingly innocuous, but if successive sentences or paragraphs begin with the word 'the', it can grate or seem inelegant (particular within long form copy).
The solution is simply a quick proof. The act of running your eye down the left hand side of the page will quickly reveal any successive paragraphs that begin with the same word.
The exception that proves the rule is when you're writing a deliberately repetitive piece, such as a list or an illustrative article about bad copywriting.
8. Banal or obscure adjectives
Adjectives are important, of course, but only if you pick a good one.
If you ever watch cookery programmes on TV, you'll know chefs are always using banal adjectives - every ingredient is 'lovely' or 'nice'.
"I've got some lovely carrots; some nice potatoes.." Needless to say, these chefs don't exactly scream personality.
However, there are also people that go too far the other way, using adjectives that aren't commonly understood.
When it comes to copywriting - your adjectives can bring life to a campaign, but they need to be just right, neither too banal or too recherché (obscure).
The Trainline gets it right here
9. Misjudged humour & wit
Pride comes before a fall.
Many copywriters are brilliant at raising a wry smile by weaving humour and wit into their work. However, humour is subjective and writing elegant and funny copy is a tall order.
10. Poor formatting
Yes, formatting is the boring but essential thing that can make or break copy, particularly online.
Break up your text, use the right font, include imagery, go easy on the bold. If in doubt, make sure to use your preview functionality.
If you need help with your copywriting, check out our training courses.

Re: Donald Trump is the perfect example!
@realDonaldTrump has 17m followers and just won an election with a campaign based around social media. He was up against an opponent with a bigger budget and the support of almost all the mainstream media, so using exclamation marks on Twitter seems to work well. His style is well worth studying in detail IMO.
Your advice is right for blogging, but I find that different writing styles seem better for different channels. Tweeting is very different from blogging for example. And advert copy is different from advertorial. What do others think?
@PeteAustin @BenDavis Definitely - there was a study last year that found texts/tweets with exclamation marks were perceived as more sincere. It seems directly relatable to The Donald's style: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/114507/20151209/texts-with-exclamation-points-and-without-periods-appear-more-sincere-study.htm
@Pete Yes, fair point. Also probably different rules for individual vs. brand.
@Joe Thanks for the study. Interesting.
Point 7. Well made. Even more so by starting each sentence with the same word (notice no use of an exclamation mark here although it could warrant one).
Timely. With one click this will be forwarded to my whole team because you've just saved me the job of outlining pretty much the 10 things I always try and weed out of our copy when I edit it. Perfect!
Great Article. Point Number 1 - in a culture of texting, we all tend to get carried away with exclamation points. Maybe because we know it's hard to get our tone across and the easiest fix is exclamations and emojis? Either way I fall into some of these traps time and again. I combat my failings with an annual read through of Strunk and White, or Zinsser.

GREAT FALLS - A team from Malmstrom Air Force Base successfully tested an unarmed Minuteman III missile early Friday morning in California. This is the second missile Malmstrom has tested in less than a week at Vandenberg Air Force Base.Air Force Global Strike Command airmen launched the intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with a test re-entry vehicle.
On March 18, Russia conducted the fourth launch of state-of-the-art intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) SS-26 Rubezh. The launch was considered successful. Russia's Defence Ministry started the procedure to pass the missile into service.

Reminds me of the old Cold War days.
At least then you knew who to keep an eye on.
As practically a deathbed speech, he educated me about those concepts and who the players were in this game. He gave me the responsibility, since he was dying, of continuing this effort to prevent the weaponization of outer space. When Wernher Von Braun was dying of cancer, he asked me to be his spokesperson, to appear on occasions when he was too ill to speak. I did this.
What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence that he said to me over and over again during the approximately four years that I had the opportunity to work with him. He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics… That was how we identify an enemy.
The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they had "killer satellites". We were told that they were coming to get us and control us – that they were "Commies."
Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country "crazies." We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons.

Wouldn't it be a bummer if that was somehow detonated on the ground in Russia before it even got off the ground.
I'm sure somebody has thought of that scenario. Sucks to be that "Guy" guarding it...

The Tzar bomb was in reality nothing more than a propaganda event. Create the biggest Nuke. What the hell does it matter after a City get's Nuked?

If I were any more cosy, I'd just outright explode.
Well, I am kind of looking forward to tomorrow, as there may be a chance that people have gotten me Valentine's Day gifts (which will make me very happy). Lillian continues to vehemently deny that she is getting me roses/candy, which means that of course she is. Genna has said that she's bought me a ticket for the Win A Date With… raffle. I don't know who she signed me up for. If it is Shaquaaaan, I hope I do not have to suffer through the most awkward 'date' in three hundred years.
I may do some slight redecorating this weekend (and a definite basket-clearing), my wall o'stuff is looking pretty sparse now that things have fallen off. I must find my Blu-Tack! It will stick even the heaviest watercolor paper to any nonporous surface with the strength of a thousand ANGRY BEES!
These last few days have made me feel quite wonderful. Thanks, all who contributed to this week of cherished-feeling-ness.
Going to bed, else I will wake up cranky and unable to function properly (which is bad in Think Tank).

Hmm... Now... I'm not going to call my autistic child a liar like some people just might. Instead of assuming ill motive, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and do a little investigating if I can. There are enough people -even well-meaning ones at that- who can totally misconstrue a situation. (I wonder what the real truth is behind this post? Another matter... but I wonder what the other family would blog. I didn't comment because the post struck me as one of those "I shouldn't have to give a 'free pass' to those autistic brats and the world is neurotypical so deal with it" kinds of posts... and usually this poster is pretty level-headed. Arg.)
I will say, though, that I doubt that Emperor wasn't asked to stop the noises. I like this teacher. I don't think she'd suddenly kick him out with NO warning. She doesn't cackle with evil glee at upsetting eight-year-olds, at least so far as I'm aware. But I'm just going to say I doubt he THINKS he was asked to stop the noises. See the difference? On to play detective. What *exactly* did the teacher say?
"She said that, 'We're waiting for the noise to stop!'... like that," he told me.
So... you thought she was ok with your making noise? (Fer real??)
"Yeah, she SAID she was WAITING," he said, exasperated. "She never TOLD ME to stop! She just kept saying she was waiting."
Ohhhh... she'd have had to wait a mighty long time if she thought she'd hang out until he *felt* like he was all done with the silly sounds. The teacher's story, obviously, is that she told him several times to stop. I let her know that Emperor didn't see it that way because he's so stinkin' literal. Just tell him straight up to quit it. Sometimes, trying to be polite means that Emperor will misunderstand you. I'm sorry that this happened... etc. etc.
You know the routine if you've been a parent - of any sort of kid (pick one) - long enough. You feel sorry for the child, the teacher, yourself and the other students. Probably in that order.

i have tried that lobster salad dressed with creme frache ( actually the one quite close to creme fraiche : sour creme + a little heavy crem + lemon juices + chopped tarragon just squeezed out of my hand)
i thinki i ought to make new england lobster roll bun according to the recipe of chef jasper white but not his mayonaaise salad version with lobster.
i feel somewhat suspicious about the mayonnaise verison because when i made " the creme fraiche dressed lobster salad according to the recipe of chef jacque pepin it was really cremy and rich.
but i a little wonder because i didnt yet try or taste any mayo lobster salade.
which choice do you think more fit into the lobster salde of lobster roll? mayo or creme fraiche?
