In light of his birthday today (and yes, we are celebrating with bacon peanut butter ice cream), today's blog is about our quirkiest, most adorable, and sweetest (well, tied with Cindy) FG Creative employee. Of course, I'm talking about none other than our Community Relations Director, Fenway. On the day of his 7th birthday, here's a little bit of what office life is like since Fenway first started his employment.
Each morning begins with pure, unadulterated joy as he enters the front doors. He immediately scrambles for one of his stuffed animals to show Cindy, as he cries or makes his "Chewbacca noise". He goes from office to office, greeting each of his FG co-workers as if he hasn't seen them in ages. Who he chooses to sit with as he settles in for his first nap of the day varies based on factors only Fenway knows. Some days you can find him by Chelsea's feet, others he is hidden away under Jean's desk – out of sight of everyone. He serves as a true gatekeeper at times, as he takes post in Stephanie's doorway or guards Cindy's reception desk from any riff raff that should happen into the office. For the majority of the day, the loyal little redhead sticks by his mama and even follows her to the kitchen and bathroom.
He can be in a dead sleep, but once we all head to the conference room (or parlor, as some call it) you hear a slow shuffling, and in strolls Fenway, who then sighs and dutifully flops down between the two people he deems most likely to mindlessly pet him during the staff meeting. After our ebullient chatter proves too much for him, Fenway eventually takes leave and heads into the hallway to keep a watchful (sleeping, but watchful) eye out for visitors.
On the topic of visitors, their presence brings out the most hardworking aspect of Fenway's day. He wakes from his deep slumber, and with his bleary eyes still mostly closed, ambles over to them, tail wagging. Never one to greet a guest empty-handed (or empty-mouthed, as it were), he scrambles once again to find one of his beloved stuffed animals to offer (offer to look at, not to touch or have). If you enter our office a stranger, you will no doubt leave as a friend, thanks to sweet Fenway.
Come see us soon, and we promise you will be greeted with a golden retriever and a smile!

Un-boxing the Palm Pre is like tearing open the gift you think is a cd, and finding that plus a gift card to cover the home theater system you've been drooling over!
As a mom who works from home and uses technology daily to connect both socially and professionally, I am really excited about the Palm Pre.
I'm currently the owner of a Samsung Instinct, and while I applaud Samsung for some of the Instinct's advanced features I've been disappointed with it's slow run time, lack of applications for business users and a real keyboard. Palm's specialty is keeping business people organized and connected. The Pre promises to be a breath of fresh air.
It's still hard for me to believe I was chosen to review such a sought after, talked about and anticipated phone...
The box itself is a work of art. With one corner cut at an angle, the box can be set up to display the contents. The slipcover for the box has the same cut, making the packaging simple, yet very sleek.
You know from the moment you see the box, something special is waiting to be discovered.
All of the packaging is simply sleek. There is no clutter or unnecessary paper. Everything is white or orange and the black phone and cords contrast well. I feel like Palm did a good job at really highlighting the phone by keeping the packaging minimal.
I was so excited to open the box and lift the Palm Pre out of it's nest. It really does feel and look like a river rock. I like that the Pre is unique. Palm didn't try to make it look like the iPhone...
I got a good laugh when I tried to turn the phone on. A power cord and plug image with a question mark showed as if to say "Got Power?" Quickly as I could I got the Pre plugged in and turned on. Then I followed the online instructions to set up my Palm Account. I was tickled that it could be done right from the phone! In a matter of 2 minutes I was able to use the phone to make a call!
I look forward to exploring the ins and outs of the Palm Pre, comparing it to my previous phones, showing it off to friends and family, and sharing it all with you!

There is a lot of information about glass canes, including "whimsies" that were made by glassblowers. This book by Catherine Dike is one place to start:

This article also tells the story:

"TH-IE WHIP-HANDLE DISPATCH" : In the "Escape of Karnes and
Teal from Matamoras" (Quarterly, October, 1900) R. M. Potter
has told the story of the "whip-handle dispatch." He did not know
its date, and was uncertain about other details. It reads like this:
"Matamoras, State of Tamaulipas,
"June 9th, 1836.
"My Dear friend.-I am sorry to inform you of our unfortunate
situation. We are detained here for nothing but to keep you igno-
rant of the enemy's intention; they will soon be down on you in
great numbers; four thousand will leave here in four or eight days
for La Bahia, it is supposed via Nueces or San Patricio, and so many
more by water, in 15 or 20 days from Vera Cruz, to land at Capano
or Brazos, not yet ascertained at which place. They make a war of
extermination and show no quarters. My dear friends, you see
what treating with a prisoner is, but you must make the best of
it, you can fall back to the Colorado; and call all the men to the
field, for if you do not Texas is gone; they have heard that the
President is at Velasco, with a very small guard, and say they will
have him in less than two weeks, I think you ought to send all the
prisoners through to San Augustine for safe keeping.
"You will have from 7 to 10,000 troops to contend with, many of
them cavalry, to be well mounted, to murder women and children.
Now soldiers, you must not spare any pains for the sake of saving
us; we are willing to be lost to save Texas. Dear soldiers ! march to
the field, and there defend your rights, they say that you are rebels;
but you must show them that you are soldiers, and know how to
defend your rights-send all of the prisoners to the East. We are
not in jail yet, but tomorrow demand our .passports, as soon as that
is done, we shall have quarters in the calaboose. We have good
friends, which prudence at present forbids me to name for fear of
"Urea is commander-in-chief of the Mexican army, and says he
will not stop short of the Sabine river.
"You must now work head work as well as fighting. Blow up

Rating: 4/5
Publisher: Vantage Point
Publish Date: September 1, 2012
Origins: From Publisher for Review
Format: Trade Paperback
Order From: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis: Craig Page, the bold and daring EU Director of Counterterrorism, becomes the focal point of an effort to stop the feared terrorist Ahmed Sadi, whose goal is to provoke a Muslim uprising in Western Europe. Ahmed, a Muslim fanatic born in Paris to parents who emigrated from Algeria, calls himself Musa Ben Abdil, after a Muslim hero from the Fifteenth Century War with Spain. Page teams up once again the resourceful Elizabeth Crowder, a newspaper reporter who has also become his lover. Ahmed's plans become far more menacing when he is joined by Chinese General Zhou, who had been exiled to France for his devious actions in The China Gambit. With Zhou's assistance, Ahmed's plan is to launch a horrific attack on the heart of Christianity. At the same time, Ahmed wants to retake militarily for Islam a portion of Southern Spain. He relies upon a medieval parchment he claims to have uncovered, in which Queen Isabella on her death bed in 1504 ceded a portion of Southern Spain to the Muslims in perpetuity. His one main obstacle: Page himself is hot on his trail, determined as ever to save the world from a master criminal. From Spain to Morocco, and beyond to Italy, Page and General Zhou renew their battle, even as Ahmed plots his deadly revenge.
Review: Allan Topol is back with Craig Page and Elizabeth Crowder in 'The Spanish Revenge' after the events in 'The China Gambit'. They are investigating the bombing of a train in Spain and as they dig deeper an unsavory and unwanted link is found between the Muslim bomber and Page's nemesis, General Zhou. This does not bode well for anyone! As fiction and fact combine, the results are an explosive thriller which will leave you breathless.
While 'The Spanish Revenge' is more of a cerebral thriller than 'The China Gambit' there is still plenty of action. Mr. Topol has an ingenious way of blending history and current political issues into an engaging storyline with captivating characters. I am eager to see how the final showdown unfolds in the next book!
Craig Page Series: The China Gambit (1), The Spanish Revenge (2)

Last spring, the 2004 Republican National Convention partnered with MTV to ask young Americans how President Bush's call to service resonates in their lives. "Stand Up and Holla!" contestants submitted personal essays - and now ten finalists have the chance to share their personal stories with the nation. The winner will travel to New York City with delegates and party officials from across the nation to participate in the 2004 Republican National Convention. The winner will deliver a speech at the Republican National Convention in prime time.
Wizbang plans on interviewing the winner.
Having reviewed all the candidates, there is one entry I'm pulling for - Sheri Valera.
Why is Sheri Valera such an attractive interview candidate? It's not what you think.
Sheri is determined to practice abstinence until her wedding day. While that's mildly interesting, it's hardly unique. What's special about Sheri's situation is what she's abstaining from... HER FIRST KISS!
Now that's a story worthy of a followup in New York.
Note, if you don't get out the vote for Sheri she won't win the trip to New York...

The Show Title is is required.
Filling the airwaves with beautiful music of Hawai`i -- from vintage vinyls, to new release CDs...every Thursday and Friday morning 7-9am HST on Kaua`i Community Radio.
Michael Burman was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. His early life was totally uneventful and, by the standards of his planet, quite normal. This all ended, however, when, via a freak of inter-galactic interference, he heard Johnny Hodges playing "Things Ain't What They Used to Be", broadcast across inter-stellar space.
Indeed, things were no longer to be what they used to be. He lost no time in boarding the next spaceship for Earth, and, throughout the long journey, studied the English-language instructional recordings which he had ordered from Amazing's Next-Light-Day delivery. These included such useful phrases as "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" and "Bird lives!" He wasn't to know, however, that the recordings had been made by the BBC, with the result that he speaks with a British accent: please don't hold this against him.

Happy Birthday to Realist Jean-François Millet, Painter of Peasants
Artsy Editorial
Overall: 40.6 x 32.3 cm (16 x 12 11/16 in.) framed: 55.9 x 47.3 x 4.9 cm (22 x 18 5/8 x 1 15/16 in.)

Renowned for his Realist subject matter, Jean-Francois Millet was moved by social injustice to paint peasants and agricultural laborers, capturing both the poverty and dignity of rural French life. "The human side of art is what touches me most," he once said. Though the artist was considered a socialist revolutionary by much of the establishment, Millet's painting The Winnower (1848), praised by one critic as possessing "everything it takes to horrify the bourgeois," sold at the Paris Salon in 1848. In 1849, Millet moved to Barbizon, where he painted many of his most famous works, and, with Théodore Rousseau, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, and others, founded the Barbizon School of landscape painters. In one of his most famous works, The Gleaners (1857), women and children bathed in Millet's characteristic soft, golden light (meant to convey the sanctity of their relationship to the land) collect grain from the fields after harvest.

Ouch! Inukshuk clubbing a seal – Peta's new seal hunt campaign
Category : Uncategorized
I just got back from Peta's press conference outside of Vancouver city hall unveiling the logo for their new campaign against Canada's seal hunt.
I am not always a supporter and I sometimes cringe at Peta's stunts, but this time I think they are dead on. Co-opting the Olympic logo, which itself is co-opted from the Inuit who will see no benefit from the games, seems appropriate and right.
The seal hunt is a shameful stain on Canada and it's about time it was stopped. The amount of money and resources that get dumped into maintaining the hunt could be used for more constructive purposes, and we could save all the innocent animals' lives. Canada deserves to be in the spotlight for this horrendous abuse of animals and nature.
Watching the footage of seals getting clubbed is horrific. As a child I saw animals get shot, and those images have stayed with me my whole life. I wonder, what are the psychological effects of committing those violent acts? Does violence begat more violence?
For more information on the seal hunt, check out our page.
Peta really impresses me with their ability to get media out and consistently get coverage for their stories. They recognize media opportunities and plan and execute their events really well all the time. And, with the prominent place that media takes in our everyday lives, getting messages into the media is hugely important.
Here are a few photos from the event:

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 23, 2014
April 9 began as a beautiful spring day at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville. Suddenly at 7:13 a.m. everything changed. An attacker armed with a pair of 8-inch kitchen knives senselessly stabbed and slashed 22 students and faculty members in the school's crowded hallways.
EMS personnel were on the scene in minutes, treating and transporting the most critically injured students from the school to Forbes Hospital's Trauma Center and other area hospitals. At least four of the students injured were considered critical and were in need of immediate life sustaining treatment. Today, all students are well on their way to a complete recovery.
What: Since 2009, Allegheny Health Network's "Great Saves" campaign has honored local EMS professionals and other first response teams for their prompt, expert, life-saving work. Tonight, those who responded to the April 9 Franklin Regional stabbings will be honored.
Who: Representing the many EMS personnel who responded that day are: Darrick Gerano, Executive Director, Murrysville Medic One; Dan Mertz, Director, Oklahoma EMS; Dr. Bill Jenkins, Excela Health System; Bob Twaddle, Paramedic, Forbes Hospital Response Unit; Kate Morgan, Paramedic, Ron Shaffer, EMT, Barry Karelitz, Paramedic, and Donna Durstine, EMT, all from Murrysville Medic One; TJ Dailey, Paramedic; James Locke, EMT, and Sydney Richardson, EMT, all from Monroeville EMS.

FDA: Gilead rep downplayed risks on Letairis
In a warning letter dated February 27, FDA accused a Gilead Sciences rep of minimizing risks associated with Letairis – a pulmonary arterial hypertension drug – during a conference last June.
According to the letter, a Gilead rep told conference-goers that Letairis's risk management plan "is only there because of the [drug] class. FDA only issued this because of the class, but this is not that big of a deal. Letairis has a 0.8% incidence of liver enzyme elevations versus 11% at the lowest dose of Tracleer..."
FDA said those statements minimize serious risks, by "misleadingly suggesting that the risks associated with the drug's risk management plan (potential liver injury and the risk of birth defects) do not apply to Letairis." The drug carries a boxed warning with both risks included. The letter requests that Gilead halt promotional activities that are the same or similar to the rep's statements.
Gilead spokesperson Nathan Kaiser said the company "takes the concerns raised by the FDA regarding Letairis promotional activities very seriously, and is taking immediate action to address this issue through additional retraining of Letairis personnel."
The statements in question were made during the Pulmonary Hypertension Association's International Pulmonary Hypertension Conference and Scientific Sessions, in Houston, Texas. A BNET Pharma report published online today points to the conference's website, where all presentations were taped and are available for replay.

One thing that I really cannot stand in churches is this obsession, which treads on idol worship, with marriage. Twenty-something's, and even late teenagers, think that their life goal is marriage and that they will be completely satisfied only when they get there.
Even though I believe marriage is an amazing and beautiful institution, made for one man and one woman, to show the bond and relationship of Christ and his church, I think that girls have become too infatuated with the idea of marriage without knowing their identity in Christ first.
At one point in my life, I was that girl. I was so focused on getting married to the boyfriend I had at the time that I had no sense of my personal identity and hadn't thought about my purpose outside of being a good wife and bearing children.
I really find something so icky about girls having this kind of cookie-cutter goal for their married lives and spending their single years obsessing over their dream wedding, dream husband, bouncing from relationship to relationship (disguised as "courting") and giving away so much of their hearts, and sadly so many times, their sexual purity.
Ladies, we MUST have a life purpose bigger than marriage. We MUST use our single years for the best to figure out who we are, what direction we are headed, and what our life calling is. It is only when we know these things that we will be able to discern who our life partner will be that will lead us in that same direction to accomplish and conquer amazing feats for Christ and His Kingdom.
So to help, I've listed some things that I have learned in my singleness that I hope can be of use for all the single ladies:
1. Get right with God.
This is the first thing above anything else. Repentance is a complete turning around from sin – a 180 degree turn. You need to confess your sins to God, and see them as he sees them. Knowing that Christ suffered an excruciating death on the cross for the sin that you hold onto will quicken your heart to despise it and bring it to the light.
Many times, we have sin buried in our lives that we keep ignoring, hoping to just 'feel' forgiven for it. Confess it and see the restoration process begin. You will see God use what was meant for evil, to be used for good. Coming to terms with your past and your sin is a powerful tool against the enemy to get you to a place where you experience God's redemption in a supernatural way.
One of my favorite verses is found in 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
2. Find your passion.
Finding what you are passionate about sometimes feels like the most impossible thing to do, which is why people take the easy way out and walk through life aimlessly. This is so important to seek out early on because it will shape every decision that you make, the friends you choose, and even the jobs you take.
There are two things that my Pastor, Doug Giles, once preached that really struck a chord with me about how to find your life calling: 1. "What do you hate?" and 2. "What could you do for the rest of your life and not care if you get don't get paid for it?"
Knowing what you hate will prompt you to take action and want to change it right away. There is such a thing as holy and righteous anger, and it has caused people to do amazing things for God's Kingdom that leave a huge mark on Satan's backside. Jesus' anger for what people were doing to God's house caused him to take a whip and clear it up. See what unrighteous thing in this culture makes you want to take a whip and clear the punks, and then do it.
3. Serve, serve, serve.
Serving is something that I cannot stress enough. Just as Jesus Christ came not to be served, but to serve, we must also seek to do the same thing. Serving others is something that will transform you as a person. It truly opens your eyes to see that there are other people besides yourself that have needs.

Our first giant pumpkin weighed in at 81.6 pounds.
Frost has come & the Giant Pumpkin has been picked
Well, a frost came yesterday morning and by afternoon our garden was quickly transforming from a vibrant October producing garden into what appeared to be a lifeless plot settling down fornthe winter. But it is only early fall and underneath the ground our garden is still teaming with life and will provide us with root veggies for a bit longer.
Excitement came as we realized that it was time to pick our Giant Pumpkin. We don't have a weigh in yet (I can't pick it up alone) but it is 21″ tall and 64″ in diameter. It is flat on one side which is probably due to my lack of experience growing giant pumpkins.
Time for some wing clipping?
When Daryl and Jackson arrived home they noticed one of our new Leghorns had found a nice new perch about 5 feet off the ground! Good thing she doesn't know that the garden is much greener on the other side!
The Great Pumpkin
Well, I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to grow a giant pumpkin. I bought a pack of seeds that said "Giant Pumpkin, up to 500lbs). 500 Lbs! Cool… Ok, that's too big. Mostly I just wanted a bigger than normal pumpkin for Halloween from the garden.
Looks like I'm going to get my wish. And, there's another 6 weeks of growing left!
Welcome new hens
Welcome to our two newest hens. They are both Leghorns (you remember Foghorn Leghorn, right?). We have one other Leghorn named Jumpy who has been our best egg layer. So, when two of our Buff Orpingtons decided to spend all of their time brooding instead of laying we decided to give them a new home and replace them with what we hope to be two more great white egg layers!

People have a genuine need for pain medication but they quickly become addicted to the stuff and quitting is really hard.
Cape Coral, FL (PRWEB) August 21, 2013
Researchers, addiction specialists and mental health therapists across America are doing whatever they can to improve how we diagnose and treat substance abuse and addiction. Drug and alcohol abuse is a real issue in our country today as countless people are looking for help overcoming addiction. Most turn to a place like Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral where qualified addiction therapists have the knowledge and experience to help people get sober once and for all.
Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral just took measures to reinforce their treatment services by adding a new treatment concentration to their already impressive list of treatment options. Pain management is a fairly new form of addiction treatment that centers on assisting someone with an addiction to hazardous opiate pain medication like Percocet or Vicodin. The experts at Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral observed a substantial rise in the amount of people looking for help for an opiate addiction.
Ronald H., one of the addiction counselors at Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral, explained that pain management is a one of a kind type of therapy that allows a person to manage their pain alongside their addiction.
"Prescription pain medication is really powerful stuff," Ronald explained. "People have a genuine need for pain medication but they quickly become addicted to the stuff and quitting is really hard."
Overcoming an opiate habit can be tough because opiates are some of the most addictive drugs there is. Many who use pain killers over a long period probably think that quitting is not possible. Those who try to quit experience horrible withdrawal symptoms which deter them from getting clean. However, thanks to the new pain management procedures being used at Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral, reaching sobriety has never been more obtainable. The different types of therapy include individual and group counseling, art or music therapy, exercise, meditation, yoga, and many more. Each technique can help someone start walking down the path to sobriety.
Since opiate abusers with a long history of abuse need close attention while detoxing, the pain management center at Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral has a full time medical staff alongside the dedicated addiction therapists to ensure that everyone detoxes from opiates as safely as possible.
"Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral is the perfect place for someone to get sober without worrying about failure," Ronald said. "Our dedication to the latest and greatest addiction techniques is what sets our facility apart from the rest."
"Alcohol Treatment Cape Coral has created a place where someone can beat addiction once and for all without feeling nervous or anxious that something will go wrong," Ronald said. "It's our level of support that sets us apart from other treatment centers in the area."

OGDEN — Contributions came from up and down the roster for Weber State on Saturday night, as six Wildcats scored in double figures to earn an 84-79 win over Portland State at the Dee Events Center.
Senior Ryan Richardson and freshman Ricky Nelson led the way with 17 points each in a game that required Weber State (12-7, 5-2 Big Sky) to deal with 40 minutes of high-pressure defense from the Vikings (13-7, 3-4).
"We just kept battling the whole time," WSU head coach Randy Rahe said. "That team's a good team ... The style of play is so different from anybody else who plays in the Big Sky. Forty minutes of press and 40 minutes of craziness. I thought our guys handled it really well."
Weber State led by as much as 12 in the second half, but the contest came down to the wire when a put-back from PSU's Ryan Edwards cut the Wildcat lead to 81-79 with 48 seconds to play.
The Vikings got the stop they needed on defense and had 21 seconds to tie or take the lead. Holland Woods' driving shot was bothered by the outstretched hands of Brekkott Chapman, and Deontae North's tip-in was too short.
Nelson snatched the rebound and was promptly fouled. He made one of two free throws for an 82-79 lead with seven seconds left to keep PSU's hopes alive.
Nelson had other plans. He fouled Woods as he came across mid-court with four seconds left, preventing a 3-point attempt.
Woods missed both free throws and Chapman was fouled in a scramble for the rebound. The lefty from Roy made both freebies to ice the game and claim the win.
"We've been playing hard every game the last few games," Richardson said. "But we haven't come out with the energy, the intensity, playing for each other and getting excited, and tonight I felt like we did that. I think that was a huge key for us in that game."
Portland State head coach Barret Peery said the game featured high-level competition.
"Give Weber a lot of credit. They made some big, big shots," Peery said. "We had some good looks and some good opportunities that didn't fall for us ... but I thought it was a really hard-fought game. I think that's two pretty good teams that slugged it out for quite a while."
The Wildcats handled the Vikings' full-court pressure with a good deal of composure. While WSU's 13 turnovers seems like a high total, it's the lowest number Portland State has forced this season.
PSU's fast pace did do some good, leading Weber to hurry its offense and hit only 4 of 13 from deep in the first half.
The Wildcats made adjustments and shot 7 of 10 from beyond the arc in the second half, including 3 of 3 from Michal Kozak.
"We had to get adjusted to their athleticism," Rahe said. "We had to get adjusted to the pace of play because it was so sped up. We hadn't played a game all year where a team's pressing for 40 minutes. In the second half, we were more comfortable with the pace of play."
Jerrick Harding was guarded heavily all night and held to 14 points. Kozak finished with 11 points and three rebounds.
Chapman and Zach Braxton each scored 10 points while Chapman picked up the double-double with 11 boards. Braxton recorded three blocks and Chapman added two.
"I think it helped our team to go out there and go toe to toe with them and match them blow for blow," Rahe said. "I think it helped our team grow up a little bit."
The Wildcats will now head on the road to Pocatello on Jan. 27 looking to avenge their conference-opening loss to Idaho State.

Jones Apparel Group Inc. agreed to buy 55% of Stuart Weitzman Holdings LLC, a high-end women's footwear and accessories maker, for about $180 million as Jones looks to further build its portfolio.
Holders including private-equity firm Irving Place Capital will get the upfront cash. Stuart Weitzman, the designer, will be the principal owner of the remaining stake, which Jones will acquire at the end of 2012, with payment contingent on Stuart Weitzman Holdings' value at that time.
Mr. Weitzman will continue as executive chairman of Stuart Weitzman LLC.
Jones expects the initial 55% purchase, which is expected to complete within 30 business days, to increase profitability. Jones later announced the planned sale of $250 million of debt, with some of the proceeds going to fund the purchase.
Stuart Weitzman LLC, which markets its products in specialty and department stores, as well as in its own chain of retail stores in the U.S. and abroad, has added 20 stores domestically the past five years and opened its first five outlet stores. The shoe company generated revenue of $193 million in the past year.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13x9-inch glass casserole or lasagna pan. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, add the bread cubes and stir to coat evenly. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes or until lightly brown and crisp. Remove the bread and turn the oven temperature up to 440 degrees.
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cinnamon and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, walnuts, cream cheese and toasted bread cubes. Drizzle with the reserved sugar syrup and mix to evenly distribute. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
Bake, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Then bake an additional 5 minutes, without stirring, until the top is golden brown and crusty and the liquid is almost gone. Serve warm with pitchers of heavy crema or heavy cream for adding at the table.

It's time for a literature review. But that's OK, because it's one about television. Lots of digital ink and even more opinionated thought has been spilled in the shaming of HBO's new series Girls. And a bit less (but still some) has been used for touting the show's redemptive qualities. What started as a social media phenomenon hasn't yet ended, and there are thinkpieces as well as clickbait across the spectrum to consider. But now it's time for a breakdown. Calm down, people. Sit a spell. And consider these seven reasons we should all lighten up about Girls.
It's Only Two Episodes Old
Two episodes, people. At the time of publishing, we've only really seen two episodes of the show. While there's plenty about the setting, casting choices, and stated goals of the show that's criticism-worthy, we've seen less than 150 minutes of the thing total. Let the episodes play themselves out, and then let's hear some criticism. The corpus of the show as it currently stands is much too thin to make the kind of broad, sweeping generalizations that the Internet is known for propagating.
It's Not The First of Its Kind
Like Sex and the City before it, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show before that, Girls is not a unique television phenomenon. It's not groundbreaking; it's just HBO. There are, however, some marked differences in Girls and other television girls that have clearly informed Dunham's work — namely that the Girls aren't career-focused. They're a more emo, navel-gazing, hipster bunch, and so far we've only seen the main characters act fairly entitled. Girls is a reboot of a popular narrative trope (life through the lens of female friendship), and we've yet to see how this will play out. What we figure, though, is laughs, tears, and character arc resolution in the end.
Lena Dunham Is (Probably) Not A Racist
Fine. We'll be the ones to say it. The criticism that Girls is yet another white-washed show about the Big Apple (think Friends, Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, and every Woody Allen film, ever) has been a two-week-long campfire around which many an online destination has gathered. An insensitive Twitter gaffe by one of the shows writers served to make things even worse. Thoughtful pieces from everywhere on the web both demonize and praise Dunham for sticking with a micronarrative about an insular community of females that (accidentally, says the show's creator) happen to be homogenous looking.
Breaking down stereotypes and critical responses to our image-based culture are a wildly important and wonderful part of the thinking world, but the casting of Girls is not the end of the world. If anyone's surprised that typecasting and racial caricatures followed us into the new millennium, their eyes simply aren't open to the world. It's a good critical conversation to have, but it's part of an ongoing discussion about macroculture.
Everyone Doesn't Have HBO
If you're hemming and hawing about Girls, then you're at least rich enough to have access to HBO. Regardless of the fact that you'll probably sound sexist or racist (read: stupid) if you take up the cause (without bothering to read years of critical race or gender theory) and become an early (read: preemptive!) Girls hater, you're definitely a filthy classist for even spending your money on premium cable. How do you even live with yourself?! By watching the best TV out there? How do you think you're making all of us proles feel, you patronizing bourgeois HBO watcher?! All we have is 200 other cable channels, with some dedicated solely to shopping, golf, and fly fishing. Be careful with all those -isms, people! Best form you could take is leaving the analysis (and jokes) to the learned experts, or simply opt out of watching the show.
15 Million Children Will Starve To Death This Year
It sounds like a canned response, but it's absolutely not. If the Internet spent a fraction of its time criticizing social travesties and demanding a populist response, there'd be a lot more love, happiness, and proper food distribution efforts in this world. We're not saying Girls doesn't beg important conversation, we're just saying this: there are other things.
It's Clogging Up Your Twitter Feed
Be a part of the conversation, not a part of the noise. That's always a good reason to chill out. Millions of tweets peppered the show's premiere, and HBO's Girls was an instant social media phenomenon. But we're just plain tired of hearing about it. There's legitimate criticism, and then there's a bandwagon. Very few have the self-control to lovingly straddle the two, and therein lies a reason to lighten up.
It's All Just Way Too
Hipsters, non-hipsters, and hipsters parading as normal people are blowing up the Internet with whines about a show by a hipster, about hipsters, for not being something enough. Tweets about tweets from a writer who tweeted, then deleted, abound with great fervor. Backlash, counterbacklash, and the backlash to that have left a show written by a high-achieving, thoughtful young woman as a lamb to the Internet slaughter. And seriously, it's all just too, too much. Go outside. Smell a flower. Call your mother. Take a shower. Solve a Rubik's cube. Get a clue — or (gasp!) a date. Watch the show. Don't watch the show. Don't be caught dead watching the show. If you're paid or impassioned to talk about it, talk about it. Or don't. It's really not that big of a deal.

The Puppy Bowl just got a little cuter.
The Animal Planet has announced that the ninth version of the game will take place during its normal slot, halftime of the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, and it will have several adorable additions.
Perhaps the most important upgrade in this year's game will be the presence hedgehog cheerleaders on the sidelines. In the past piglets and chickens have served as cheerleaders.
There will also be a new, on-field camera which will provide viewers with a better angle of the puppies' faces as well as a hot tub where substitutes can rest and/or play around while waiting to enter the game.
Unfortunately it does not appear likely that the NFL will follow suit and add a hot tub to the sidelines at the Super Bowl.

The Big Lottery Fund will put hundreds of millions of pounds into long-term projects to tackle complex social problems in England's neediest areas, the organisation said today.
Announcing its priorities in England to 2015, the BLF said it could award between £100m and £150m in each of three or four cause areas to fund schemes lasting up to eight years.
The funder will decide on the geographical areas in England with the greatest need that it wants to target over the next few months for the long-term funding. Partnerships, which could include charities, community groups and councils, can apply for grants to develop their schemes and, if the pilots are successful, they can get longer-term funding.
One of the cause areas would be tackling entrenched problems such as alcoholism, drug abuse and domestic violence. Another would be projects for older people, and two more cause areas are yet to be announced.
Dharmendra Kanani, BLF's England director, said: "Rather than tackle them in silos, we want to look at where they come together and have a negative impact."
He said he did not yet know how many projects would be supported, but the BLF was keen to be able to measure the impact of the projects.
Kanani said the BLF was considering the use of social investment in some projects in various funding programmes, where appropriate, and helping projects develop the skills to attract social investors.
A spokesman for the BLF said it had the power to make loans. "But we really want to understand where we can add value and what would be most appropriate. We cannot make a profit on anything, so if we were to make a loan, in that respect we would have to think about how that requirement would work."
Kanani said that Awards for All, its small grants programme, would be increased from £56m in 2011/12 to £57m in 2012/13. The scheme would, he said, continue to fund small community projects but also pay for groups to develop ideas to a stage at which they could apply for grants.
Kanani said the BLF would introduce online applications for Awards for All as part of a drive to speed up grant decisions and tailor the information requested by the funder to the project applying for the money.
Decisions could be received in as little as one or two weeks compared with the four to five weeks it can take now, he said.
The fund's Reaching Communities programme,which provides grants of £10,000 and £500,000, will be increased from £148m in 2011/12 to £150m in 2012/13.
The BLF also plans to help the voluntary and private sectors work together locally or share skills.
It anticipates that it will have £1.5bn of funding to 2015 or £500m-£600m a year if existing levels of lottery ticket purchasing continue.

ORGANIC LAVAGE is a unique organic herbal formula that helps to open up elimination channels in the body, therefore facilitating the "drainage" of harmful toxins from the body. The word "Lavage" derives from the French for "drainage." It is taken as a vegetable glycerine tincture that has a very pleasant taste and texture and is liked by all. It is designed to work on many levels of drainage simultaneously, such as:
Act as a DIURETIC, helping to eliminate excess fluids from the body
It contains the active ingredients: Lactupicrine, a bitter principle, tannin, inulin, polysaccharides and carotene. MILK THISTLE Milk thistle seed is a LIVER herb that exerts powerful anti-oxidant effects on the liver and prevents the recirculation of toxins in the liver. Milk thistle seed contains the active ingredient Silymarin. BURDOCK ROOT Burdock has been traditionally used as a BLOOD PURIFIER to clear the bloodstream of toxins. Burdock's active ingredients are arcigen, calcium, chlorogenic acid, essential oil, flavonoids, iron, inulin, lactone, mucilage, polyacetylenes, potassium, resin, tannin, and taraxosterol. RED CLOVER Red clover can stimulate the IMMUNE SYSTEM, and help clear the LUNGS of congestion. It is also a BLOOD PURIFIER and a GENERAL TONIC. The following isoflavones are present in red clover: biochanin A, formononetine, genistein and daidzein. TUMERIC ROOT Tumeric is a powerful ANTI-INFLAMMATORY and has ANTI-HEPATOTOXIC effects, meaning that it protects the liver against harmful toxins such as heavy metals and xenobiotics. Tumeric has strong ANTIOXIDANT properties, quenching the free radical activity caused by heavy metals and other toxic chemicals. HYDRANGEA ROOT Hydrangea root has a greater ANTIOXIDANT power on liver tissue, than milk thistle and turmeric combined. It is also an excellent KIDNEY herb that helps to clear the kidneys.
UVA URSI LEAF Uva Ursi leaf, also called Bearberry leaf, is a natural ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY and helps to clear mucous and catarrh from the bladder and KIDNEYS. Arbutin is one of the therapeutic phytonutrients that it contains. Recommended adult dosage: 25 drops x 3 daily. One bottle will last about one month. It is recomemended that Organic Lavage be taken for 3-6 months, along with HMD™ Heavy Metal Detox as well as Chlorella.
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY the HMD™ will mobilize toxins from inside the tissues and organs - Chlorella and Organic Lavage are adjunt products that facilitate drainage and will NOT in themselves remove metals. They are designed to ACCOMPANY the HMD™ for safe, optimal detoxification with no side effects. See ULTIMATE DETOX PROTOCOL for how to use all these products together.

School has been in full sway for two months. We are finally finding our rhythm about homework. Our daughter who has the learning disability (dysphasia) has struggled tremendously. We were not able to get her into the special school for her disability due to a lack of space and her young age. Therefore we (the school and my husband and I) decided to graduate her up to first grade this year even though we knew it would be difficult for her. We couldn't justify keeping her in maternelle/kindergarten because she is perfectly mature for her age. We believed that would have been even more discouraging, seeing her twin brother move forward and so forth.
The first two weeks of school were filled with a lot of tears. Every morning, every evening, "I don't want to go to school." This was a total turn around from last year. Even though most of the time she didn't understand what was going on in her class, she loved school and wanted to participate. But first grade is more academic than kindergarten and she is more self-aware. Imagine that you are in a class and you cannot understand the teacher, the other people around you and you cannot express yourself to even let them know this. Now remember being a child and the inherent cruelty of teasing that every kid seems to possess no matter how nice they are. Yeah, that's a scary, dark place to be in.
So I met with the school and we decided that finishing all of her homework is not necessary (thank god because it was taking us about an hour and a half a night - that is definitely not encouraging to anyone at the age of 6, and who has been struggling all day all ready). That the most important goal right now is to keep her engaged and happy at school. The lucky girl has a team of eight people working with her: my husband and I, her teacher, a learning technician, a speech therapist, a school psychologist, the principal, and a student who has been paired with her to help her understand what is going on in class and to help her socialize more with the other kids. Sometimes I marvel at the beauty of people, especially in the teaching profession. As if their jobs weren't hard enough, they go out of their way to spend extra time helping children like my daughter. I am wholeheartedly grateful.

School with a Learning Disability

I am truly impressed at the school's decision to work outside the box and take your daughter's well-being into account. I hope it makes for happier days for all of you!!
- Lynnea said...
De, me too. We could use more happiness all around.

I'm glad your daughter has a "team" on her side treating her as an individual. Sometimes education becomes too one-size fits-all.

Data Recovery isn't Disaster Recuperation – contrary to public opinion. Ask an individual what information recovery is actually, and 9 times from ten the actual response is actually, "backup". Considering the query is as well vague, I attempted to ask a much better one: "What may be the difference in between disaster recuperation and information recovery? inch
This post hopes to provide you with the knowledge you'll need, to feel you have a organization grasp about them.
Technicians, you'll adoration that one…
When discourse to several capitol professionals – whilst presence the actual world's main technology meeting in Indonesia – We opened the actual argument through asking these phones demarcate their own data recuperation policy on the member associated with paper within thirty mere seconds. Some from the answers had been care-boggling. Typically the most popular one: "backup attendant". Probably the most decent: "I have no idea, our THIS department deals with that. " And also the most absurd: "We do not have this hurdle. "
The information recovery canine and colt display…
As we have a closer appear, keep in your mind all the useful and information that we now have learned to date.
One guy came brazen as well as said, "I've bewildered some data which i poverty in order to expound in a sermon the next day. Do you believe you may help me away? " After hearing all the actual… I cannot judge what I'm earshot, I considered an concept: recapture this particular guy's records the following before everyone, and they'll get the first-hand connection with what information recovery is actually. So, We canned my personal sermon upon Implementing effective verities recapture Stoolies.
Everyone elevated their fingers when requesting them if they wish to see the demonstration associated with data recuperation. I resolved that, 'This guy – tulsi from Southern Africa — has bewildered some data he poverties with regard to tomorrow, which I may first work to recovery a number of it.
Huge smiles, chuckles, as well as laughter…
Fortunately, all associated with basils films were recoveryed. Within verity, the information recovery proceeded to go so well that lots of more movies he'd perplexed had been recoveryed as well, but Used to do not understand it from that short time. I requested basil basically could perform a slide display of exactly what I recoveryed. Slip one: A care-map installing his expoundation with regard to tomorrow. The following few 35mm slides: niceties associated with slide 1. Then came the films that roared down the home. Let's state that tulsi was naked in ways I can't argue right here.
What is actually data recuperation?
What the actual executives cultured is actually that information recovery is the last option to recuperation perplexed information after each and every viable back-up manner offers botched — while catastrophe recovery is actually implementing an extensive data back-up proposal, to ensure that when information is bewildered, you simply access the actual backup attendant or perhaps a regional store method, just like a USB crucial, to get your bewildered report.
Basil created his expoundation about the airproposale in route to the actual show, however botched in order to back this up. He believed reduction after that to their mainframe difficult urge was adequate. In this particular folder, he was unable to access their records simply because his processor wouldn't wader towards the desktop. Therefore, data recuperation software had been worn to get into the processor chip, and after that to rebuild the statement technique, so the data might be recoveryed to a different storeroom form to become worn once again by tulsi.
Verities recovery is really a multi-billion money trade…
The information recovery commerce will be bankrupt in the event that everyone might have a completed backup suggestion. But every single day lacking washout, we obtain calls through people such as basil who're intelligent as well as run multi-million as well as billion money companies who've perplexed their own data. The guidance: help your projects – and never to the actual processor you're with. After which settle this, because floured is very familiar. Finally, make persuaded you utilize the floppy Defragmenter function evenly, so that should you choose meet an ailment where information recovery gets inevitable, the feeling toll may intensify considerably.

Our 4th apartment in Lisboa discovery mode was near the Amoreiras shopping center, I knew the area was more on the business/residential side – which I was looking for after a 10-day stay in the very fun (but loud) Alfama neighborhood. As usual, I started researching for places to explore. I'm an avid walker, so I was excited to be near (15 minutes by foot) to Parque Eduardo VII. My hopes were soon dashed as I read what a disappointing park it was on Tripadvisor.
***Update – in 2016, this park underwent major renovations. It is prettier than ever and so worth the visit.
Parque Eduardo VII
I've got something to tell you, TripAdvisor was WRONG! Not just a little wrong – seriously wrong. This park is AWESOME! I could see this becoming my daily walking spot if I lived in Lisboa. Let me break down why I loved Parque Eduardo VII so much.
Marques de Pombal Square: ca 1934: Adães Bermudes and António Couto, Francisco Santos, Simões de Almeida, and Leopoldo de Almeida.
This 118 ft tall monument stands in the middle of a plaza at the end of Avenida Liberdade, and right before the start of the park. It's impressive, to say the least. The first register of the sculpture is filled with turbulent, tense scenes depicting the earthquake. A male nude struggles to hold up columns of a crumbling building. An octopus encroaches on land as it is taken there by violent waters. The next register shows scenes of order, growth, and commerce. A strong woman pulls along cattle as a man next to her carries the harvest. A man behind her plows the land, and a young man carries a cornucopia. A large figurehead in the front of the group holds the Portuguese shield. Above her, a female nude triumphantly draws the eye to the top of the monument, where a bronze sculpture of the Marques stands victorious with a lion. There is much more to the monument, so go and enjoy it, but make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. There is no covering here. Also, be careful crossing the street to see it. It's a pretty major intersection and cars tend to go fast around the roundabout.
Geometric Gardens
As you stare up from the Marques monument, your eyes are led up to the top of the park by way of a green strip of geometric gardens. I found them lovely, but I can see how people may find them dull. There is also no covering from the sun here, so walk up on the side where there is sporadic shade from trees.
Estufa Fria; ca 1930: Raul Carapinha
My favorite spot at the park is the Estufa Fria. It's an eight-hectare greenhouse that was erected around 1930 by architect Raul Carapinha. It is so big that there are actually three greenhouses here. Before getting there, you will note a lake with tons of fowl. Follow this into the building with the unremarkable facade. This is the entrance and largest part of the greenhouse; the estufa fria. One can easily get lost here. It can also be a workout if you want it to be and if you want to get to the Estufa quente which contains the greenhouse's tropical plants. There is also a estufa doce, which houses cacti and succulents.
25 of April Monument: João Cutileiro
If you're crazy like I am and make it to the top of the hill, you will reach a small esplanade with four large pillars and a fountain that commemorates the Revolution of 1974. This spot also has a gorgeous view of the Tagus river and the city. The fountain kinda looks like an ejaculating phallus…but maybe my mind is in the gutter today. You can judge for yourself.
Jardim Amália Rodrigues
This garden, dedicated to the famous fadista Amalia. It's also got a mother and child by Fernando Botero (I was born in Colombia – so I got a little excited at this). At this park, you will find some food trucks, an amphitheater of sorts and Eleven restaurant (1 Michelin Star).
There's a cute little cafe here with a sort of lake filled with fish. When I visited the Lisboetas brought their dogs here for a "swim". I loved this! They've got light snacks and cocktails.
O Segredo: ca 1961 Lagoa Henriques
I could not help but think of the LGBT struggle while looking at this sculptural group. I'm not really sure if the artist meant for this to happen, but it did. I did some reading, and the sculptor was quoted as saying "It is not a piece made to order. Did it for me, was made to play a daze". The secret can be anything, and I think it is up to the viewer to figure it out. Make sure to peek into these gorgeous ladies.
Carlos Lopes Pavilion: ca 1923: Guilherme and Carlos Rebello de Andrade and Alfredo Assunção Santos
This is one of those places that breaks your heart. As you look at it, you can imagine the splendor that once was and you ache at the ruin it has become. This white and ochre building was erected for the 1923 Rio de Janeiro Expo and was brought back and rebuilt at the park in 1932 for the Portuguese Industrial Exhibition. It became a meeting place, concert, and a sports hall. It has fallen into disrepair. If you go to the front door, you can sneak a peek at the gorgeous, but dilapidated interiors. Outside of the building are some of the prettiest tile paintings in the city. The azulejo panels were made by Jorge Colaco, and the sculptures by Raul Xavier.
***Update: This was being renovated in late 2016.
Female Nude: ca 1958: Vasco Pereira da Conceição
This piece breaks my heart. I cannot understand why people decide to vandalize art. I understand the anger at the government, but I cannot understand why people feel the need to deface art. I wonder if this was disenfranchised youth or a stupid tourist. It is not ok to deface art. I hope that people continue to visit Lisbon and spend more money there so that at some point, once the country bounces back financially, there is enough money to pay this young lady some well-deserved attention. She reminds me of early Etruscan sculptures and some of Picasso's work from the early 1920's. I love that she is corpulent and thick and beautiful If you're at the park, stop by, take some pics and give her some love so you can bring this lovely lady some more attention. She deserves it.
Tips for Visiting Parque Eduardo VII
1. Sun Protection: Unless you're walking on the sides of the park, you will need massive sun protection. This means high-grade sunscreen and a hat.
2. Comfortable Shoes: The park is on one of Lisbon's hills. Wear comfortable shoes to make the climb more comfortable.
3. Explore: You will find this park boring if you just stay in the center of the park. Go off route and check out all its hidden gems.
Where to Eat at Parque Eduardo VII
You can certainly picnic at the park, but if you don't feel like lugging your picnic basket uphill, there are plenty of options for you:
1. Pizza Kiosk: If you're towards the bottom of the park, there is a kiosk that sells pizzas (€8), salads (€7), soups (€2) and toasts (€4). There are tables with umbrellas.
2. Food Trucks: At the top of the hill, right behind the 25th of April monument, by the amphitheater of Amalia Rodrigues, there are food trucks selling burgers, Japanese food, etc.. There's no covering here, so this is more your grab and go place.
3. Linha d'Agua: This is all the way at the top of the park at the Amalia Rodrigues garden. It's got a good cocktail list and sells light snacks and pastries. Great spot. This would be my pick.
4. Eleven: You can't just walk into this joint. It's got one Michelin star, so if you want to go here, make reservations. I didn't go during my first trip, but I finally got to visit in 2016. They have a great lunch deal at €35. The meal did not disappoint.
5. Restaurante Botequim Do Rei: Typical Portuguese food with a view. Dishes cost around €14. ***Being updated in 2018. Looking forward to seeing what comes up here.
6. El Corte Ingles: Not technically in the park, but about a block away. The supermarket downstairs has tons of places to eat. The eateries on the top floor leave a lot to be desired, so skip those.

Although winter is getting ready to extend its icy grip over much of the country, it's never too early to start dreaming about and planning for next summer's garden! And Salvia 'Summer Jewel Pink', one of the 2012 All-America Selections (AAS) winners, is a great plant to include in those plans and dreams.
A sister to the earlier AAS winnner Salvia 'Summer Jewel Red', this soft pink cultivar of Salvia coccinea has the same compact size and early flowering habit. Growing no more than 20 inches high and about 16 inches wide, it works as well in containers as in the flower border. A prolific bloomer throughout the season, the flowers appear almost two weeks earlier than other varieties of pink salvia, in just 50 days from seed sowing.
Like all salvias, it does best full sun and in soils with good drainage. It's a great choice for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden.
For more information on Salvia 'Summer Jewel Pink' and other 2012 AAS winners, go to: AAS.
