My wife's mother died on a Friday. By itself, it was no more or less significant than the death of anyone's mother, and we certainly weren't strangers to the emotions and tumult that would follow. We'd already lost both of our fathers, my mother, and a beloved aunt within about a five-year period, so we knew the drill.
I was prepared to hold her, to feel her sobs on my shoulder, to tell her it would be okay (if you don't count the vivid dreams in which her mom would be very much alive) and help her through this one last loss.
What I wasn't ready for was the blow Mother Nature would deal her and her family. On the day Mom died, the northern Front Range was already reeling from unprecedented rainfall. Familiar vacation spots were blown away by the raging water in the canyons. Our youngest son and his family had been evacuated from their home by the flooding Big Thompson; further south his older brother and family were battling leaky ceilings and flooding crawl spaces. As the reality of her mother's death sank in, my wife came to another realization: All of that water was headed our way.
By the weekend dire predictions were marching in advance of the relentless water. We watch, helpless, as Kersey, Orchard, and Weldona became inundated. Weld County seemed to disappear under a brown blanket, then Morgan County. Sunday morning we frantically filled sandbags and piled them against our garage, mimicking what we saw elsewhere, with no idea what we were really doing.
"It never got onto our property in Sixty-Five," she kept saying, but we sandbagged anyway.
By mid-day Sunday the news got worse. Bigger than ever, people said, and even the official word was either grim or lacking altogether. (Not that the emergency management people shirked their informational duty; it's just that when Hell is lumbering toward you, it takes its own time getting there and there's not much to say.)
We saw the first evacuation notice go out. It was south of Highway Six. Maybe, we thought, that would be enough. My wife's telephone kept beeping and warbling and tweeting and tinkling; updates on the river, updates on the funeral arrangements. Is it really twenty-four feet at Balzac? Can't be, not possible, Brush would be washed away. Did somebody sing "Ave Maria" at Dad's funeral? Who's working on the obituary? Did Johnny's place flood in Sixty-Five? Yeah, "Ave Maria" and "How Great Thou Art." Did we sandbag enough at Mom's house? Yes, and there's a good berm. They didn't have that in Sixty-Five. Is somebody going to deliver a Eulogy? Oh, God, if that ditch is running, we're gonna' get water! Check facebook again — are we going to be evacuated? Which priest will we have?
And so it went all day. We packed, we filled water jugs, we filled the dog feeder, we left keys in the cars, we got ready for everything and anything. Mom had died and the apocalypse was upon us. The mind and soul are taxed to cope with either; she was trying to handle both at once.
Finally, late in the afternoon, with the Broncos up by an almost embarrassing score, she couldn't take it any more.
"I have to go," she said flatly. I knew she wasn't talking about evacuation, though that was the context. She had to get the hell out of there, to run as fast and far as she could before it all crushed her. I threw her bag in her car, kissed her and promised I would stay safe. She left for our son's house in Denver. She left her lap dog Cocoa behind, much to the pooch's distress.
I went back in the house and experienced a loneliness I have never known before. I wanted to call her back, to beg her to stay. I wasn't going to abandon the home I'd spent eight years building and landscaping and planting and fencing; it's mine, and if it's going to get washed away, well, it will have to be washed out from under me!
That was silly, of course. Water never even got on the property in Sixty-Five. The floor of the house is nine feet above flood stage. I drove down to the river bridges to check. In the waning daylight it didn't look so bad. The "middle channel" was running, the river was certainly full, but there was plenty of capacity left, wasn't there?
I haunted the Internet and Facebook pages. The people who are supposed to watch things lost track of the crest, that all-important gob of water that defines a flood out here in the valley. It was supposed to be here at eight o'clock, then maybe nine. In the night, nobody knew where it was or how big it was or when it would get here. Ten' o'clock, where is the crest? Eleven o'clock, no news. Then, suddenly, it was at Messex, and then Merino, and then it was in Atwood, and in a flash the authorities doubled the size of the evacuation area. I looked at the map and looked again. There it was, the interstate on one side, the old highway on the other. And we were in the middle of it.
It wasn't an order, actually, but it wasn't an idle suggestion. The order would come later, in the wee hours of the morning, but it was going to come. Make a decision and make it now; get out or get trapped.
Water never even got on our property in Sixty-five, remember?
This is bigger than Sixty-five, they said.
I grabbed Cocoa, locked the front door, climbed in the pickup and headed for Denver. I was evacuating. I was being prudent. Maybe I was being silly, but if so, I'd be back home by noon the next day and at work by one o'clock.
Monday, while the river swallowed everything around our home, we walked our granddaughter to school. She told her teachers that Nona and Grandpa were from Sterling and they'd been "flooded out." The teachers clucked and cooed over us, making sympathetic faces, and then we walked back to our son's house.
The phone calls and messages started again, more of the same, funeral arrangements made from 120 miles away, juxtaposed against images of highways closed and bridges washed, our chances of returning dwindling by the hour. Cell phone batteries were exhausted and recharged and depleted again. There was a conference call with a priest, calls to brothers and sisters, text messages, emails, tweets, the full complement of modern telecommunications harnessed to keep a handful of men and women abreast of the latest developments. The music, the highway closures, the priest's rules, the state's regulations, the Gospel reading, the road conditions, bridges open and closed, flowers ordered, hotels available, relatives who could and would be there and the detours required for them to attend.
And then the game changer. A key pump in the wastewater treatment system was swamped and damaged and out of commission. No-flush. No way in, no way out, no way to tend to basic sanitary needs. The bad news was relentless; the electrical sub-station was inundated, maybe the power would go out, delaying the funeral another week, forcing them to close the casket. A very large clan was going to descend on our home in five days to bury the matriarch of the family, and there were no beds to rent, no restaurants open, no useable indoor plumbing anywhere in town. Our toilets worked and we had fresh water, but the roads to our house were cut. The wretchedness of the possibilities became clear.
By Tuesday things weren't any better, but they weren't any worse. We had to come home, had to see for ourselves. We piled all of our luggage and Cocoa into the pickup, locked my wife's car, and headed for home. We were not prepared for what we found. The brown blanket covered our friends' and neighbors' homes. The road to our house was impassable. The affable police officer manning the barricade gave me all of the facts he had, including the fact that I was not going around his barricade. I respected that. A sympathetic CDOT worker took me aside and surreptitiously pointed out a "back way" around the barricade to where a dry road would lead us home. The affable police officer turned his back and studied his barricade. I climbed into the pickup and informed my wife that the truck's four-wheel drive was about to become useful.
"What!?" she replied.
"Buckle up, Buttercup," I said.
I won't deny I enjoyed being bold and brazen and a little bit outlaw-ish, especially since the detour involved driving from open prairie into the sheriff's office parking lot. In a few minutes we were home.
My employer was open and needing bodies, so I reported to work the next day. I don't know what my wife went through, making the necessary arrangements over the next two days, but the value of her sisters' assistance is incalculable. A brother-in-law conspired with a co-worker to get Mom's burial clothes to the mortuary and another sister met my wife at the barricade to make the long trip through Atwood into town for last-minute arrangements. The three women, through sheer dint of their strong wills - inherited from their deceased mother - got the job done, even as the combined resources of local, state and federal authorities struggled to set their world aright.
The funeral was little different from all the others I've attended for my wife's family. An unaware observer would have wondered at the priest's comments about hardship and extreme circumstances. There was no talk of no-flush and only rare mentions of the inconveniences of having to rent motel rooms 40 and 50 miles away. At the end of the day it was clear that what I had watched was not so much a natural disaster as the hard determination of a family to render proper respects to its beloved mother, regardless of what Mother Nature threw at them.
The water will recede, the infrastructure will be rebuilt, and blessedly boring routine will return. But for my wife, things are irrevocably changed. She's fled her home because it was no longer safe; she's lost the last person standing between her and mortality. These things change a person. For her, life will never be the same.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Workers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state have finished stabilizing a partially-collapsed tunnel containing radioactive wastes left over from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons, the U.S. Department of Energy said Tuesday.
The tunnel was filled with more than 4,400 cubic yards of grout intended to prevent any additional collapse, the agency said.
The tunnel partially collapsed earlier this year, prompting a brief alarm at the site that required some 3,000 workers to shelter in place.
Since early October, crews worked mostly at night to inject the grout, which is intended to reduce the risk of further collapse and increase protection for workers, the public, and the environment from radiation releases, the agency said.
CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Co., the DOE contractor in charge of the tunnel, began grouting on Oct. 3 and placed the last truckload on Saturday, without any injuries, the Energy Department said.
"Our contractor not only completed this work safely, but also ahead of the department's projected completion time frame of late December," said Doug Shoop, manager of the agency's Richland Operations Office.
Hanford is a sprawling site located near Richland, in south-central Washington. The site was created during the Manhattan Project in World War II and made most of the plutonium in the nation's nuclear stockpile, including the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Workers are now engaged in a massive cleanup of the wastes, which is expected to take decades and cost more than $2 billion a year.
About 520 truckloads of grout were placed in the tunnel, whose wastes included eight flatbed railroad cars. The tunnel, 360 feet long, was built in 1956 and contains wastes created during Cold War production of plutonium.
Cameras inside ensured the grout flowed the length of the tunnel and around the contaminated equipment, the agency said.
Attention now shifts to a second, much longer tunnel, also located next to the demolished Plutonium-Uranium Extraction Plant. That tunnel contains 28 rail cars filled with wastes and is 1,700 feet long.
An analysis completed earlier this year showed Tunnel 2, built in 1964, did not meet current codes for structural integrity, and may not be able to bear the weight of the soil above the tunnel.
Stabilizing the first tunnel meets one of the requirements of a May 10 order issued by the Washington state Department of Ecology, which helps regulate the site.
No decision on final cleanup of the wastes in the tunnels has been made.
Hanford officials said grouting was the best solution to short-term dangers posed by the aging timbers holding up the partially-collapsed tunnel. The tunnel is built of creosoted timbers that likely were weakened by radiation, the Energy Department has said..
A 20-by-20-foot hole in the top of the tunnel was discovered on May 9. The Energy Department said there was no airborne release of radiation and no workers were injured during the collapse.

If you're talking tech with Americans, you may want to avoid using any jargon.
A recent study found that many Americans are lost when it comes to tech-related terms, with 11% in a survey saying that they thought HTML — a language that is used to create websites — was a sexually transmitted disease.
The study was conducted by Vouchercloud.net, a coupons website, as a way to determine how knowledgeable users are when it comes to tech terms.
"Technology is a huge interest for our user base, and month after month we see thousands of people visiting our site to look for coupons and deals to use when purchasing their favorite tech products," a company spokeswoman said in a statement. "It seems that quite a few of us need to brush up on our tech definitions."
Besides HTML, there were some other amusing findings:
77% of respondents could not identify what SEO means. SEO stands for "Search-Engine Optimization"
27% identified "gigabyte" as an insect commonly found in South America. A gigabyte is a measurement unit for the storage capacity of an electronic device.
42% said they believed a "motherboard" was "the deck of a cruise ship." A motherboard is usually a circuit board that holds many of the key components of a computer.
23% thought an "MP3" was a "Star Wars" robot. It is actually an audio file.
18% identified "Blu-ray" as a marine animal. It is a disc format typically used to store high-definition videos.
15% said they believed "software" is comfortable clothing. Software is a general term for computer programs.
12% said "USB" is the acronym for a European country. In fact, USB is a type of connector.
Despite the incorrect answers, 61% of the respondents said it is important to have a good knowledge of technology in this day and age.
The study involved 2,392 men and women 18 years of age or older. The participants were not told that the study was specifically looking into their knowledge of tech terms. They were presented with both tech and non-tech terms and were asked to choose from three possible definitions.
"Hence why a mix of both normal and technology-related words were used," the company said in a statement.
[Updated 9:40 a.m. PST, March 5: The origin and veracity of the survey have come under question by a journalism ethics website. The firm that conducted the survey, 10 Yetis Public Relations, said it stands by its work and has provided the full survey results.
The survey is "100% genuine, and it's a valid survey," said Leanne Thomas, a senior account executive for 10 Yetis Public Relations.
Thomas said the survey was conducted over email over the course of seven days. She said participants of the survey were given no incentive to respond.]

Here's a question for students of family psychology and behavior: When it comes to parents and their adult children, what topic is nearly as much of a taboo as the one about when the grandchildren will arrive?
If money comes to mind, you're on the right track.
According to Fidelity Investments, parents and their adult children are increasingly at odds over when to have that awkward "family finance talk." You know – that's the conversation where adult children ask their parents how much money they have and what their parents' plans are for old age, when the parents may need help with basic activities of daily living, such as dressing and bathing. As if that's not awkward enough, there's also the topic of inheritance, and who can expect to get what.
While adult children feel it's important to engage in this conversation relatively early in their parents' retirements, their parents, it turns out, would rather delay. In fact, according to a survey Fidelity released today of 1058 parents and 159 of their adult children, in two-thirds of families parents and children disagree over when is the ideal time to have The Talk. The gap between the percentage of adult children who want to do so before the parents retire and the percentage of parents who would rather wait has doubled since Fidelity last conducted this survey.
The desire to postpone is somewhat ironic, because these conversations can go a long way towards alleviating anxiety in both generations. Adult children, Fidelity finds, underestimate their parents' net worth by $300,000, on average. As a result, more than 40% of adult children worry that they will have to serve as their parents' caregivers, when only 6% of parents say the same.
Adult children say they want to get specifics from their parents as soon as possible in order to gauge the potential impact of their parents' aging on their own lives, says John Sweeney, executive vice president of retirement and investing strategies at Fidelity. But their parents are often "reluctant to open their financial, physical and emotional lives and potentially burden their kids," he adds. These conversations, he says, can force parents to "face their own mortality or a change in their mobility and independence. There is a denial anybody goes through in not wanting to acknowledge that their situation is changing and that they may need to ask for help."
Still, Fidelity notes, for both generations "silence could be costly." For one thing, when parents don't take the time to explain why they are choosing to leave one child more money than another—perhaps to compensate for having paid for graduate school for the child with the lower inheritance—it can create bad feeling or disagreements among heirs after they are gone.
Sweeney says the best time to have The Talk is "sooner rather than later," in order to avoid having to make financial decisions "under duress," such as during a healthcare crisis. He also recommends that discussions include all family members, but that adult children keep in mind that "life is not a democracy." "This is the parents' lives and money and so adult children should be able to provide input but ultimately the decisions belong to the parents."
Sweeney recommends that those who wish to initiate a conversation do so "in a relaxed, comfortable setting" and make it clear that they wish to follow up with the entire family, whether in person or over the phone. Fidelity found that "the more detailed the conversations are," the greater the emotional dividends. For example, 93% of parents who discussed their wills and estate plans in detail said "it brought greater peace of mind." Families also need to recognize that these conversations – and decisions about eldercare and estate planning—are typically "not once and done," but instead require a series of ongoing discussions.
Among the survey's other findings:
- 40% of parents have not had detailed conversations with family members about covering living expenses in retirement. Another 15% have had no conversations at all.
- 43% of parents have not had detailed conversations about health care or elder care. An additional 20% have had no conversations at all.
- 31% have not had detailed conversations about their wills and estate plans. Another 10% have had no conversations at all.

Come on NHL! We are so sick of this lockout. But, could 2013 be 'Hockey New Year' for Henrik Lunqvist's Rangers and the NHL? Not so fast.
We have to throw out the "Hockey New Year!" signs. If the NHL and players union are going to reach an agreement to save their season, it may not come for a really long time still.....
Today is the 111th day of the NHL lockout, let me go throw up real quick.

Responding to another Hillary Matters smear, this one of Bill O'Reilly and this one dutifully regurgitated by CNN/MSNBC, Juan Williams speaks up to explain "What Bill O'Reilly really told me." Williams and O'Reilly also discuss the smear in the video below.
Juan Williams's most recent book (the occasion of his appearance on O'Reilly's radio show) is Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America–and What We Can Do About It. I noted the Washington Post's absurd review of Williams's book last year in "What a difference a day makes."

Benefits & Features
Recovery is an important part of any fitness routine. A speedy recovery means you feel great after exercise and can work out more often with better results.
Research has taught us that compression needs in a relaxed state of recovery are different to when muscles are active. With this in mind, SKINS created the RY400 range.
Forget massages, long baths and shockingly cold ice packs. To improve recovery time, simply pull on your RY400 long sleeve top after activity. It's scientifically proven to help the body recover better – reducing tenderness and delayed onset muscle soreness by delivering more oxygen to your resting muscles.
We recommend you wear your RY400 long sleeve top for at least 3 hours to get the best results. Our 400 fit guarantees maximum comfort, so you can even wear it while you sleep to speed up your body's natural recovery process.

30TPD 40TPD 50TPD 60TPD crude sunflower oil refining equipment
crude sunflower oil refining equipment
According to the different raw material, we do use different technology and equipment, according to customers' requirement or needs, you can choose pressing technology, pressing solvent extraction technology or extruding solvent extraction technology. With our suggestions ,you will find the most suitable technology and equipment here.
The pretreatment of crude sunflower oil refining equipment
Before the material is pressed or solvent extracted, the material shall be processed, first, it shall be cleaned, a cleaning sieve is needed to remove the small, bigger sizes of impurities. The destoner is needed to remove the stones in the material, the magnetic machine is used to remove the small metals like iron, and others. Then the material shall be crushed, soften, flaked, then cooked, all the processing is to make sure the oil in the material will be extracted out easily and thorough.
The pressing of crude sunflower oil refining equipment
As for the high oil content material, such as, peanut, sesame, sunflower seed, coconut, castor seeds, we do use pressing solvent extraction technology. There shall be some residual in the cake after the material is pressed, usually, the residual by using pressing technology is 6-8%,it is a waste of the oil if we do not extract it out, then we shall process the cake further by solvent extraction, through which, the left oil will be extracted out. We have already designed pressers of different sizes, for different materials, customers can find the most suitable one easily here from our factory.
The extruding or stablilizing of crude sunflower oil refining equipment
As for some low oil content material, such as rice bran ,soybean, we do use extruding solvent extraction technology more, it will get rancid easily if the material especially the rice bran is not processed well. By using extruding or stablizing technology, it will prevent the material from getting rancid, at the same time, the structure of the material will change to a state which is most suitable to make the oil extracted out easily. We are the specialist in the design and manufacturing of different kinds of extruders.
The solvent extraction of crude sunflower oil refining equipment
The solvent oil extraction is the latest technology and the most effective technology to extract oil, as we have told in the above, after the pressing , there still shall be some oil residual in the cake, what we need to do is to extract the oil thorough from the cake, to use the oil material to the fullest. We do use some chemical solvent, like hexane, which can separate the oil from the meal very easily in the shortest time. We do have rotocel extractor, toweline extractor and looping extractor, we do use different extractor for different capacity and material. And we design and manufacture the LD DTDC machine, which can ensure the good quality of the meal. For the negative pressure evaporation system and parraffin recycling system, we do also use different technology according to different requirements.
The refinery of crude sunflower oil refining equipment
After the oil extraction, we get the crude oil, the crude oil can not be eaten directly, it needs to be processed further, there are some bad matters which influence our human body, such as the gum, the fatty acid, the bad smell and the bad color, what we need to do is to remove the bad matters by using refinery technology. For the old technology, they do use chemical way to refine the oil, there is a great loss for the oil. We do choose to use either physical refining or physical and chemical combined technology, normally if the fatty acid value is less than 10%, we suggest using physical technology. Most of the time, we suggest using physical and chemical combined technology.

Hugh Laurie plans to bring down the house, but not as "House," the doctor he played on television many fans grew to love and hate.
Instead, the multi-instrumental musician is going to flex his skills on stage in a different way tonight at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, backed by The Copper Bottom Band, made up of David Piltch (bass), Vincent Henry (horns), Elizabeth Lea (trombone), Jean McClain (vocals), Gaby Moreno (vocals), Herman Matthews (drums) and Mark Goldenberg (guitar).
Laurie and The Copper Bottom Band also plan to stop in Los Angeles on Monday to perform at the Fonda Theatre.
His tour, which has already taken him through Canada, Australia and several American states so far, is in support of his sophomore album with Warner Bros. Records titled "Didn't It Rain." It was recorded at Ocean Way Studio in Los Angeles as a follow-up to his 2011 debut album, "Let Them Talk."
"It's such a great adventure," Laurie said in a recent interview as he rolled into rainy Seattle on his tour bus. "Close to 10 years I spent in the U.S., but basically spent every day in a large, dark ship with no windows, seeing almost nothing of this country. So now to be able to travel and go to places I haven't been before is just a thrill."
The England-born part-time American resident came to stardom as a comedian back in the mid-1980s as half of the U.K. act, "Fry and Laurie" with Stephen Fry. But it wasn't until he took on the role of the prickly, medical genius known as Dr. Gregory House on the Fox television series, "House," did he become a household name in the United States.
Laurie received two Golden Globe awards, two Screen Actors Guild awards and six Emmy nominations during his near decade-long career as House on the series, which aired from 2004 to 2012. Laurie said he still has fans calling him House, which can be a peculiar thing when performing shows.
"It's kind of odd at a music show because it's a pretty different thing that I'm doing," he said, laughing. "I think to begin with, there were a lot of people who — just out of plain curiosity — wanted to check it out and was like 'What the hell is going on here?' I think the first round of shows the audience came thinking this can't work."
Now a hundred concerts later and a second album out in stores, Laurie performs in front of packed venues where "more and more we are getting audiences who come because to some degree they're influenced and touched by the same music that I'm touched by," he said.
Among Laurie's influences include W.C. Handy and Jelly Roll Morton as well as Bessie Smith, which has resulted in two albums with twangy, jazzed-up blues that you can only image echoes through Bourbon Street in New Orleans and other historically soulful sites that gave birth to so many musical moments.
From performing duets with McClain and Moreno to giving Lea room to "really let rip" on the trombone, Laurie said his shows are quite an experience.
"I'm really proud of what we're doing and the shows that we've done. I want it to be a piece of theater and not just a recital, which I think is a common thing for some bands and musicians," he said. "I look to do something more theatrical, something that's more of that a revue feeling, with some showmanship. I hope it's funny, I hope it's sad, dark and dramatic at times. I hope it makes people do everything — laugh, cry, dance, all those things. I hope all human life is there."

An 11-day effort to collect clothes and other supplies for victims of Hurricane Sandy has packed a local surfwear company's warehouse and the donated goods are now on their way to the East Coast in a U-Haul truck.
"We nearly filled the entire warehouse," said Costa Mesa Buccaneer Board Riders Chief Operating Officer Matt Stone. "It's hard to tell how much we collected. We had bags and boxes stacked 6-feet high. We could barely even walk.
"I just want to say thank you to the Orange County community for being so selfless. It almost brought a tear to my eye to know there were so many people who were so moved."
All the items were collected from Nov. 7 to Sunday and then donated to Project Save Our Surf, a Santa Barbara-based environmental nonprofit dedicated to preserving oceans and marine life.
OluKai, an environmentally conscious footwear manufacturer in Irvine, also contributed to the effort by donating 700 pairs of closed-toe shoes valued at $85,000. In all, the company will have donated about $100,000 worth of goods to the effort, as it also served as a collection zone for the campaign, said Marketing Director Kerry Konrady.
"OluKai was founded on the Aloha spirit and one of the principles of that is taking care of your community and giving back, that's something our company has always been built upon," Konrady said.
Karon Pardue, vice president of Project Save Our Surf, estimated $50,000 worth of donated items were collected by the two Orange County drop-off locations. She estimated that they collected $300,000 worth of goods, including monetary donations, clothes and other items, during the campaign.
"Everyone has been amazing, everywhere we go," Pardue said. "Everyone in California really helped out, especially in Orange County. The [Buccaneer Board Riders] warehouse was sky-high. It filled probably half of the truck."
There wasn't enough room to fit OluKai's donation in the U-Haul so the company is shipping it up to Project Save Our Surf in one of its freight trucks.
Pardue and Project Save Our Surf Ambassador Mary Osborne collected Buccaneer Board Riders' donations on Monday before beginning the long drive to New York, where they'll distribute the items and stay to partner with the New York Surfrider Foundation, another environmental nonprofit, to assist with the rebuilding process.
There have been a few bumps in the road, as the U-Haul blew out a tire in Arizona and Osborne, who just returned from El Salvador, had to go to the hospital Tuesday with a 103-degree fever. After some rest and treatment, Osborne and Pardue hit the road again Wednesday.
"We think she might have picked something up in El Salvador," Pardue said. "They gave her some antibiotics and steroids, and she is feeling better today."
With the setbacks, Pardue projects they'll arrive in New York on Thursday night.
"We don't know how long we are going to be there, we are just going to be ready to work," Pardue said.

Staff writer
Little bodies of color flit and flash from branch to branch, chirping and preening, showing off for Hillsboro's Salem Home residents, staff, and visitors.
"They are curious little things," Heather Crocker, aviary caretaker and Salem Home employee said on Friday. "The residents enjoy watching them, especially when we put in the bird bath. Now that's entertaining."
The 5-by-3 foot glass paneled aviary in the resident activity room is home to several varieties of birds, including zebra finches, silverbills, a canary, diamond doves, gouldian finches, and a tri-colored nun. Just last weekend, a pair of zebra finches hatched out newborn chicks, much to the delight of resident Betty Bernhardt.
"Coo, coo. Where are those little red-billed babies?" Bernhardt asked. "Pretty bird, pretty bird, where are your babies, Angie?"
Bernhardt said she enjoyed talking to the birds every day. She even named several of them, including Angie, a zebra finch, and Mark and Cassie, a pair of diamond doves.
"Sing to me, Canary. Sing to me," Bernhardt said, as a mostly yellow bird perched nearby and chirped a little song.
Crocker said the resident home owns the aviary, but Living Design, Inc., a South Dakota business, provides the birds. They provide similar services to several area nursing homes.
"They come quarterly to check on things, change the bedding, and provide a whole new array of birds," Crocker said. "They leave us extra nesting material and bedding to put in as needed, plus the food that we feed them."
Crocker, who raises Zebra Finches at her own home, said it was not surprising to have new hatchlings.
"The zebras are really easy to raise," she said. "The doves are easy too. The doves lay a lot of eggs; we almost always have eggs in here. The other varieties, though, they are harder. Sometimes it is hard to even tell if you have a matched set, male and female."
At a time of year and a time in life when color is not common, the bright and energetic birds in the Salem Home aviary provide residents like Bernhardt with a splash of happiness.
"I just like to come here and talk to them," Bernhardt said. "Pretty bird, pretty bird, sing to me, Canary. Get some grass to build your nest, Mark. Did Cassie lay some eggs? Where are those red-billed babies? Oh, there they are — so sweet."

15 hot new hotels coming to Asia in 2013
According to the Construction Pipeline Report released in November 2012 by hotel research firm STR Global, 1,767 hotels are currently under development in the Asia-Pacific region, with 667 hotels expected to open in 2013.
That's a lot of beds.
More than half of the hotels in property empire Starwood's development books have Asian addresses, while other big names like Accor, InterContinental Hotels and Hilton Worldwide, are also aggressively expanding in the East. So are smaller regional boutique brands.
Of those hundreds of new properties, here are 15 we're most excited about.
Parkroyal on Pickering, Singapore
Opening: January 2013
Singapore is often called "the Garden City."
So it's fitting that the 367-room Parkroyal has dubbed itself a "hotel-in-a-garden."
Four sky gardens offer 15,000 square meters of trees and shrubs that look like they've crept over the road from the Hong Lim Park opposite, including a 300-meter garden walk on the fifth floor and a vertical living wall of mosses and plants in the lobby.
An eco theme prevails across the property. Recycled glass was used to make the bathtubs, sinks and vanity tops. In addition to its solar-powered sky gardens, rain harvesting and other sustainable practices, the hotel has already received the Green Mark Platinum Award for its environmental aspirations.
All-day restaurant Lime serves international and local cuisine from three open kitchens, while a St. Gregory Spa is slated to open in March.

Among W's architectural highlights is the four-story Eve Bar, which juts out the side of the building.
If that doesn't catch your attention, trickling optical fiber lights will.
Other bold installations include a three-story "luminous waterfall" at the entrance and a nest-like lounge suspended above the lobby.
The hotel's 320 rooms and suites are decked out in W's signature contemporary style with lighting, textures and colors.

Mode Sathorn Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand
Opening: April 2013
With the opening of Mode Sathorn, Siam@Siam will have a second design hotel in its Bangkok portfolio, which the brand is somewhat predictably dubbing a "fashionable lifestyle" hotel.

Opening: May 2013
Situated in the Batticaloa district along Sri Lanka's eastern coast, The Beach House at Pasikudah will be operator Sun Siyam's second property after its resort in the Maldives.

Mira Moon, Hong Kong
Opening: July 2013
Come summer, another design hotel will squeeze itself into the Wanchai skyline -- the 36-story Mira Moon.

Cheval Blanc Randheli, Maldives
Opening: Summer 2013
Seven years after LVMH opened its first property in the French Alps, the luxury powerhouse is going tropical with the opening of a resort on the Noonu Atoll in the Maldives.
Designed by starchitect Jean-Michel Gathy, each of the 45 pool villas -- beachfront or overwater -- will feature individual artwork by equally celebrated artist Vincent Beaurin. The casual name-dropping continues, with Cheval Blanc Spa by Guerlain, hair spa by Leonor Greyl and food overseen by Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno.
Transportation comes in the form of a private customized seaplane. To explore the waters, guests will be able to hop on a traditional dhoni or the resort's private yacht.

Shangri-La Hotel, Lhasa, China
Opening: Q3 2013
Shangri-La is aiming high with its first hotel in Tibet -- this one is 3,650 meters above sea level on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, surrounded by Himalayan peaks.
Traditional Tibetan architectural elements will be reinterpreted for the modern age, while the contemporary interiors are to be furnished with local arts and handicrafts.
Many of the 285 rooms will look out to Potala Palace, the hilltop complex dating to 7th century and former residence of Dalai Lama.
Taking into consideration altitude acclimatization, the landscape is being filled with plants to increase oxygen levels. A full-service on-site clinic will attend to any medical issues, just in case.
Alila Fort Bishangarh, Jaipur, India
Opening: Late 2013
Although traditionally associated with trendy hotels and chic, minimalistic cool, Alila's newest property is actually an old one.
Perched atop a granite hill in the Rajasthani district of Jaipur, Alila Fort Bishangarh will be housed inside a 230-year-old heritage fortress.
Behind ancient two-meter-thick walls, 59 suites will each feature large bay windows to check out the scenery and footed bathtubs.
Other planned facilities include two restaurants, cafe lounge, wine cellar, spa, bar and cigar room.
Outside the walls at the foot of the hill there'll be an activity cluster with a fitness center, kids club, pool and pool-side juice bar along with a classy arrival courtyard and banquet lawns.
Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea
Opening: 2013 (maybe)
It was reported in November 2012 that Kempinski would be managing the 105-story Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea.
Construction of the pyramid-shaped building started in 1987. When the 330-meter-tall building is completed this year, it will hold the distinction of being the tallest hotel in the world. Bragging rights to the "highest" hotel still go to Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong on the 102nd to 118th floors of the International Commerce Center.
However, when CNN contacted Kempinski Hotels for confirmation, the company replied with the following (excerpted) statement:
"KEY International, Kempinski's joint venture partner in China with Beijing Tourism Group (BTG), is in negotiations to operate a hotel project 'Ryugyong' in Pyongyang, North Korea. No management agreement has been signed to date.
"Kempinski is committed to raising the level of tourism infrastructure, participating in trade and travel, and creating employment opportunities. If North Korea opens up, Kempinski, through KEY International, would be proud to be part of the process of opening up the country."
In other words, don't pack your bags just yet.

You're probably familiar with their music through Bollywood. Read Jal's Wikipedia entry, and one name stands out to those familiar with Hindi film music -- Atif Aslam. As a long-time fan of Pakistani pop and rock (much of which has to do with exponentially better lyrics), I can tell you Jal are much better off without Atif, and I like them more without him too. Having said that, there's hardly any doubt the split worked out for both parties. So if you have any favorite works by Jal or by Atif Aslam, let's talk about them!
Here's one of my favorite songs by Jal, the splendid combination of love of person and love of the divine dealt with so seamlessly. I liked their live rendition to this more, but love this video! Is there a better location to shoot it at? (Here's a related Song for each Picture series post.)
And to make this more Bollywood-related, here is a decent Jal music video featuring Amrita Arora. Here she is at the launch of their most recent album.
Have a great start to your week. The Aazaadi Sawaari is almost set to take off (as if it had stopped), see you again soon.

Lighting Strikes a Third Time in New FF13 Trailer
The first trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 has arrived, and shows off some of the new moves and mechanics being introduced to the franchise.
Billed as "the final journey of Lightning," LR: FF13 features the pink-haired protagonist in yet another adventure, this time taking place in Novus Partus. The trailer features a lot of one-on-one combat, though the fights look true to form from previous Final Fantasy 13 entries.
The biggest surprise is all the new platforming abilities Lightning apparently has, such as jumping, climbing, and ducking. Exploration in FF13 typically didn't involve complex navigation, and it's interesting to see the new mechanics at play. Lightning also has a new look, which Polygon says will be customizable. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 is due out in 2013.
Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know whether or not you'll be back in the saddle for another journey with Lightning.

The incident... will likely prompt more debate about the status of Wisconsin's self-defense law and efforts to broaden it to include the so-called castle doctrine.Judging from the debate in the comments, the people favor the pending bill, which "would extend a presumption of reasonableness to anyone using deadly force against people unlawfully in their residence, whether they were armed or threatening or not."
I favor the bill myself, because people who are considering breaking into a house shouldn't have a complicated set of risk/benefit factors to weigh. It should be really clear.

The Grammys gave out awards in 81 categories Sunday, but it may be a full week or two until we know who some of the real winners were. The performance-heavy telecast is largely just one 3½-hour concert, and if past Grammy Awards are any indication, it can lead to major sales victories for those who appear.
Last year, for instance, after Adele's "21" was named album of the year, she managed to earn the biggest sales week of her career, as the album sold 730,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. That number is especially impressive because "21" had already been available for a year at the time of the 2012 Grammy Awards.
U.S. sales that are tracked by Nielsen SoundScan are tabulated through Sunday evening and released every Wednesday. That means it won't be until the Feb. 20 charts that the Grammy effect becomes evident, but some early trends are emerging if one looks at the sales charts of online retailers such as Amazon and iTunes.
GRAMMYS 2013: Full coverage | Winners | Best & Worst | Red carpet | Timeline | Fashion
Already, Fun.'s "Some Nights" led the iTunes chart the morning after the Grammys, and the album was at No. 2 on Amazon. The album, at No. 25 on the U.S. pop chart heading into the Grammys, will easily break the million-sales barrier in the coming days, as it currently sits at 992,000 copies sold.
While iTunes is the world's largest music retailer, Amazon will also play a big role in influencing the charts over the coming week. The retailer is selling Grammy titles such as "Some Nights," the Lumineers' self-titled debut and the Black Keys' "El Camino" for $3.99 or less.
In terms of what song is looking to see the biggest sales jump, iTunes and Amazon purchasers seem unanimous in gravitating toward the Lumineers' feel-good sing-along "Ho Hey." The single was the leading song at both outlets early Monday. Already, the song has sold more than 3.5 million downloads and 118,000 tracks the week heading into the Grammy Awards.
Also look for a big sales spike for Rihanna's "Stay." The song is in the top 10 at iTunes and has been steadily rising today at Amazon, where it jumped into the top 100 for the first time. The single could use the boost, as thus far it has sold only 96,000 copies and was at No. 117 on the digital tracks chart in the week before the Grammys.
The Grammys may also help excitable pop act Fun. shed its "one-hit-wonder" status. The band performed its "Carry On" at the Grammys, and the track was at No. 6 on iTunes early Monday and in the top 20 on Amazon. Thus far, the song has sold 307,000 downloads.
Yet the Grammys may not have a life-changing effect on risk-taking R&B; star Frank Ocean. The artist performed his atmospheric, keyboard-drenched "Forrest Gump" on the telecast, and the song was nowhere to be found on the top 100 of either Amazon or iTunes. Meanwhile, his album of the year-nominated "Channel Orange" has failed to move into the top 10 on iTunes, but buoyed by a $4.99 sale price on Amazon was moving up the latter's charts.
Adele's "21" was the largest-ever post-Grammy sales bump. Previously, the record was held by Norah Jones, whose "Come Away With Me" sold 621,000 copies the week after she won five Grammys at the 2003 telecast. How much of an effect were the Grammys on those numbers? Jones' "Come Away With Me" sold 144,000 copies in the week prior to the Grammys.
One doesn't have to look much further than this year's album of the year winner Mumford & Sons to see that the Grammys do have career-altering power. While the act was a slow-building success story long before it appeared on the Grammys as Bob Dylan's backing band in 2011, that awards-show moment catapulted the group to grander, mainstream heights.
Keyboardist Ben Lovett earlier singled out that performance as a pivotal moment for the group. "I think it introduced us to people who watch [awards] shows the way we grew up watching music on TV," he said. "It makes sense that it would widen our audience. But we weren't thinking about that at the time." In the first full sales week following the 2011 Grammys, Mumford & Sons' debut album, "Sigh No More," experienced its best-ever sales week on the chart.
In 2011, album of the year winner Taylor Swift experienced a 58% sales jump for her "Fearless," while performer Pink saw a massive 235% increase for her "Funhouse." In the four years leading up to 2009, SoundScan reported that week-over-week post-Grammy sales increases grew from 10% to 17%.

Need a special Easter Egg Treat Box for the Easter Bunny to hide? I've got an idea for you, using Whisker Graphics Divine Twine! Let's get crackin'!
Divine Twine (I used pink)
Plastic Egg
White glue
Decoupage Medium
Tag board base
Hot glue
Hot glue
Small flowers/leaves
Start with some plastic eggs--the kind that snap together. These are left over one from when my son was little (he's now 22! Yes, I never throw anything away!)
Get your glue on there anyway you like--a brush, your fingers, the tail of the cat who always comes around when you need some crafting time alone, whatever. Start at the edge first, wrap your twine on 'round that egg, keeping the strands close together.
and we're wrapping...........................
When you've got both sides completely wrapped with twine, let the egg halves dry and then coat them with a decoupage medium just to make sure they stay put! Then while the egg is still wet, sprinkle on some glitter. I used clear glitter so I got a sugary effect.
Next, use a store bought tag board shape or punch/cut your own. Hot glue it on to the bottom of your egg box.
Fill it with treats, coupons, or tiny trinkets and make sure to leave it where the big-eared, fluffy guy can find it, so he can carry out his job of hiding it!

The New King James Version (NKJV)
In 1975, more than two-hundred years since the King James Version's last update, the boldest and most extensive revision in the history of modern Bible publishing began. With a 130-person team of Greek, Hebrew, and English scholars, editors, church leaders, and Christian laity Thomas Nelson Publishers sought to preserve the accuracy and poetry of the King James Version, but in a language that the everyday person could understand. In 1979 the NKJV New Testament was finished, releasing only the Book of Psalms in 1980. In 1982, the New King James Version was released in its entirety, seven years after its commission, making it the fifth major revision to the beloved King James Version.
The NKJV preserves the authority and accuracy, as well as the rhythm and beauty, of the original King James Version while making it understandable to current readers.
The NKJV preserves the traditional literary quality of the King James Version. As the latest revision of the time-honored 1611 Bible, it deliberately seeks to maintain the sound, language, and rhythm that lovers of the Bible have come to expect, while modernizing when necessary to prevent misunderstanding.
The NKJV translates from the traditional texts of the Hebrew and Aramaic Old Testament and the Greek New Testament, and it has footnotes wherever variations are found in critical texts that would affect the wording of the English translation. The translation method is "complete equivalence," which is sometimes known as formal equivalence. It gives the meaning clearly in natural English while maintaining as much of the wording and grammar of the original languages as possible.
The NKJV is written in today's language for today's reader. All of the accuracy and beauty in the world wouldn't mean much if it couldn't be understood. To achieve maximum clarity, the NKJV uses modern English that is dignified but natural.
The NKJV Study Bible, Second Edition is the most comprehensive study Bible available! It has the most complete study system for pastors, teachers, or students who desire accurate study in God's Word. Using the trusted New King James Version, The NKJV Study Bible has "the mind of a scholar and the heart of a pastor."

We have a series
The Canadiens came within eight minutes of a 2-0 series lead.
Then they collapsed.
Boston scored three goals in less than six minutes, and Carey Price – brilliant to that point – looked shaky.
Credit the Bruins: a character team that never quits.
Back to the Bell Centre for Game 3.
Epic collapse
Leading 3-1 11 minutes into the third period, the Canadiens surrendered three goals in 5:32.
Dougie Hamilton began the rally, and Boston got goals from Patrice Bergeron and Reilly Smith.
Milan Lucic's empty-net goal completed the rally.
Push-back period
Canadiens outshot Boston 15-13 and got goals from Mike Weaver and, on a power play, Thomas Vanek to take the lead.
Signs of frustration from the home team, which took a bench minor toward the end of the period.
A Milan Lucic goal was disallowed – in off his hand – and Carey Price made spoectacular stops on Patrice Bergeron and Torrey Krug.
Unlikely scorer
Daniel Paille, alone in the slot, fired a shot that ricocheted off Francis Bouillon's leg to beat Carey Price.
The Canadiens killed off a 5-on-3 shorthanded situation but were inept on their two power plays.
Boston had a 13-6 shot advantage, an accurate reflection of play.
Afternoon delight?
Boston plays many afternoon games in the course of its regular season.
The Canadiens don't.
So the home team might have an advantage in adapting to a 12:30 p.m. start time.
The way Carey Price is playing, however, the Canadiens goaltender could stone the Bs at 4 a.m.
Price has started 10 times at the Sochi Olympics and in this spring's NHL playoffs.
He's 10-0, with a save percentage of .939 and a goals-against average of 1.60.
Clutch goalie?
Yeah, you could say that.
Price made 48 saves in the series opener. His teammates blocked another 30 shots, and Boston missed the net 17 times.
That's a lot of vulcanized rubber, and Game 2 may bring more of the same.
• Interesting stat cited by Patrick V. Hickey in The Gazette: The Canadiens have played 342 minutes, 25 seconds to date in the postseason. They've trailed for 3:34.
• Suggested reading: I'd urge anyone surprised by the stomach-turning racism of some Bruins fans to track down Common Ground, J. Anthony Lucas's epic study of the Boston busing crisis. Also remember the Red Sox were the last major league team to integrate. Pumpsie Green joined the team in 1959 – 12 years after Jackie Robinson made his Brooklyn Dodgers debut.

The tea of choice is a second flush from Darjeeling. It is an offering from Giddapahar Estate- one of the gardens visited last March. The dry leaves smell of nice light ferment- a dry, not too grapey muscatel. They make up a mixture of reddish browns and whites in the predominately dark brown-green mix. These leaves are put in a big yixing and hot water follows.
This first infusion shoots off a sharp, brisk taste of light, dry, faint fruitiness that peeks out before ducking away. The saliva from the mouth, lips, and tongue retreats under light dryness. Even fainter sweet fruit tones are left on the breath.
The second infusion is prepared. In it is dry, mainly woody, raisoney notes that peer through a nice juicy bitterness that softly saunters by. The mouth seems void of all saliva, leaving sweet notes way down the throat. The feel in the mouth is valued for its uniqueness.
The third steeping brings an expected lighter, less sweet, fruity body that is almost completely eclipsed by woody dryness. The mouthfeel reflects the wood in the mouth.
Note: Check out this link to the Polish Wine Guide's review of this tea.

Congress's odd couple
They're the oddest couple in Congress: One is a favorite of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who swept into office on the tea party wave of 2010, the other a supporter of Obamacare and the $787 billion economic stimulus package.
But what makes the budding relationship between GOP Rep. Paul Gosar and Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick so surprising — and to some on Capitol Hill, downright confusing — is that just three years ago they were bitter rivals in a slash-and-burn election. Back then, Gosar called Kirkpatrick an Obama loyalist. She called him a right-wing extremist. He blasted her after video emerged of her fleeing a constituent event. She hammered him after Palin made a website with cross hairs on her district.
Story Continued Below
Today, you're a lot more likely to see the Arizona lawmakers introducing bills together than calling each other names. After losing to Gosar in the last midterm and then winning election to a nearby House seat last year, Kirkpatrick has teamed up with her onetime rival on more than a half-dozen bills. On Tuesday, they're even co-hosting a town hall meeting in Superior, Ariz., to discuss a proposed copper mine that the lawmakers are trying to get Congress to authorize.
( PHOTOS: The Obama-Clinton relationship)
The alliance, however, isn't sitting well with some Republicans, who worry that Gosar is giving Kirkpatrick an opportunity to campaign as a bipartisan figure cutting through Washington's partisanship and dysfunction to get things done for her district. She badly needs Republicans and independents to win reelection in her sprawling northeastern Arizona district, which Mitt Romney carried.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has told its incumbents to be wary of working with vulnerable Democrats such as Kirkpatrick for that reason. The NRCC has identified Kirkpatrick as one of the seven most vulnerable House Democratic incumbents in the country.
Gosar, by contrast, represents an overwhelmingly conservative district where he doesn't face the same pressure to appeal to voters from the opposite party. He is expected to win reelection fairly easily.
( PHOTOS: Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid's friendship)
What's particularly galling to Republicans is that Gosar is taking pains to promote his work with Kirkpatrick. He recently advertised his town hall with Kirkpatrick in a press release and on his Twitter feed. (Kirkpatrick retweeted Gosar's post.)
Guessing what Gosar is up to with Kirkpatrick has become a parlor game for Republicans in Arizona and Washington. One theory is that he's trying to get back at the NRCC for not being more openly supportive of him when he faced a primary from an insurgent-minded Republican challenger last year. Others think Gosar, a relative political newcomer and former dentist, is just a pol who goes his own way.
"I have no idea what Gosar thinks he stands to gain by doing a town hall with Ann Kirkpatrick, a liberal Democrat that Republicans would love to defeat," said Chris Baker, a Republican strategist in Arizona who worked for Gosar's opponent in the primary last year.
To which Gosar's team says: too bad.
"Paul is not interested in playing D.C. politics. Paul is interested in getting bills passed for Arizona," said Apryl Marie Fogel, Gosar's senior adviser. "He is going to take the help that's offered, regardless of the letter behind the name."

Mini Throwdown: Peanut Butter Cookies (Part 2)
I've been lusting after David Lebovitz's book, Ready for Dessert, since it came out months ago. A bit of a "greatest hits" collection, these are some of the best recipes in his arsenal, and a powerful one at that. Skimming through the book, it's filled to the brim with recipes I'm dying to try. They all sound so good! But unfortunately, there aren't enough extra funds to put towards owning it yet, so I checked it out from the library to give some of them a shot. What better way to break it in than a Throwdown challenge!
The recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies is incredibly easy. Other than a 2 hour chill time (plus the time it takes to bring it back to room temperature), which I skipped entirely because I was baking before work, the recipe comes together quickly. No crazy ingredients to forget to buy. No weird directions to mess up. A simple recipe for traditional peanut butter cookies. So did they live up to my standards of the ideal cookie?
You bet. These cookies baked up thick, stayed soft and chewy, and looked absolutely beautiful. And the taste? Pretty much spot on. Just the right amount of peanut butter—not too much, not too little. A tiny bit towards the sweet side, but I was okay with it, and everyone at work really liked them. My one and only complaint—they were a little small with my regular cookie scoop. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'll use a little more dough to make them a bit bigger. These are definitely a contender. It only took two rounds, but I think I've found my fair recipe! Now if only my chocolate cupcake trials were going that well…
Peanut Butter Cookies
Adapted from Ready for Dessert by David Lebovitz
Makes 30 2-inch cookies
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling cookies
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter, sugars, and peanut butter just until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix just until the dough comes together.
3. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Remove the dough from refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
4. With racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, preheat to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats. Pour about ¼ cup of granulated sugar in a small bowl.
5. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll them in the granulated sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Using the back tines of a fork, make a crosshatch pattern on each cookie, flattening it slightly.
6. Bake, rotating sheets halfway, until cookies begin to brown at the edges but centers still look slightly uncooked, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Hi, I tried your recipe and found the taste wonderful, but the texture was crumbly. I had to add more butter to be able to press down on the dough balls without them breaking apart, but the baked cookies still stayed crumbly. Any idea why?
