Hines Begins Work on UTC High-Rise
Monday, May 7, 2012
Development and investment firm Hines has begun construction on something that's recently become a rarity in San Diego and most major metro markets: a new high-rise office building.
The Houston-based company broke ground in late April on what will be the second tower in its La Jolla Commons development at University Towne Center. The financial services firm LPL Financial has signed a long-term lease to occupy the entire 13-story, 415,000-square-foot building after its completion in mid-2014.
LPL, which employed more than 1,600 people locally as of mid-2011, will be relocating workers from several offices it currently occupies throughout San Diego, primarily in UTC. An LPL spokesman said company leaders would not be available before press time to discuss plans for the new site.
"We had a situation where LPL was looking for a place to put all of its operations, and we were able to come to arrangements that worked for everybody," said Hines Managing Director Paul Twardowski, who is based at the firm's San Diego office.
The privately held Hines is building the tower in a joint venture with institutional investors advised by J. P. Morgan Asset Management, and project cost estimates have not been disclosed.
Like other local experts, Twardowski said the new tower's arrival is not a sign that developers are about to embark on a high-rise building binge. Rather, it reflects a specific limitation of the current San Diego office supply: the shortage of remaining large spaces available for the biggest local companies wishing to house all or most of their workers in one location.
"There's really not a large number of big blocks left in terms of office space," Twardowski said. "There isn't even much in terms of full-floor availabilities right now."
Demand Remains Spotty
Experts said the UTC development could signal an uptick in future build-to-suit construction projects, geared to the space needs of large firms seeking spots in the high-demand office submarkets. Other tenants in the market, especially firms seeking 20,000 square feet or less, are still finding plenty of available options, even as overall vacancies have slowly declined with the improving economy.
Ron Magnaghi, a senior vice president with San Diego-based Irving Group who handles tenant representation, said new building projects that are fully pre-leased don't add significantly to the local office supply, and often create new vacancies when companies relocate.
That reality and other economic factors likely will keep tower building booms well in the future. "It always depends on the strength of tenant demand, and that demand right now is still spotty," Magnaghi said. "It's certainly better than last year, but I would say it's still a tenant's market."

2013-14 Avalanche final player grades. Jan Hejda: B+
We all had a strong suspicion Jan Hejda was hurt going into the playoffs. But not until after the crushing overtime loss of Game 7 to Minnesota did we know just how bad the veteran Czech D-man was hurt.
I've seen some ugly injuries in the dressing room before, but Hejda's thumb was gross when he showed it to me after Game 7. Essentially, there was a tip of a metal pin sticking out from the top of his thumb, kind of bloody on top. I immediately felt remorse for some of the snarky things I said about Hejda's play in the first round against the Wild. In the seven-game series, Hejda had no goals, no assists and a minus-6. He gave the puck away numerous times, and was caught flat-footed on the overtime goal in Game 3 by Mikael Granlund that got the Wild back in the series.
The best thing I can say about Hejda is this: he never used the broken thumb as an excuse. He's a stand-up guy. His attitude was "I was out there in uniform, so I should be judged by what I did on the ice, period."

Rainy Nights…
Posted by Christin on 27 Sep 2010 | Tagged as: Reviews, the pack, life with dogs
After weeks of nothing, it has finally started raining here in North Carolina. Yes, I'm glad about the rain…but honestly, it makes exercising the dogs a bit of a challenge. Even if it weren't still raining steadily, there would be the problem of mud. Janko is tall enough that only his paws get muddy, but Penny's legs get filthy and Buckley is such a "low rider" that he becomes caked.
So, tonight we have had to use some different strategies to get the pups the "exercise" they need. Buckley ate his dinner out of the Kong Wobbler. I really love this new toy from Kong. Buckley already enjoys pushing things around with his nose, and this cool toy pops right back up when pushed. Buckley loves it!
Everybody also got a bone tonight. The little guys got Dingo brand bones and boy do they think those are special! Dingo bones are also Janko and Penny's favorite treats, but due to the cost, it's a little difficult to keep those "in stock."
Anyway, without the normal outdoor playtime, the dogs woofed a little more, Janko chased Penny around the table a bit and I'm hoping everybody settles down to sleep sometime soon!

The 2015 Nissan GT-R gains a revised chassis for a better balance between handling and comfort, a new Bose Active noise Cancellation System (except on the GT-R Nismo), a new Premium Interior Package, a new exterior color, an available hand-stitched Ivory interior color, new LED headlights, and revised rear LED lights.
The GT-R Nismo is the newest addition to the range, with a tuned version of the twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 now making 600hp and 481 lb-ft of torque. This is the most performance oriented model of the range with a more aggressive suspension setup, revised aerodynamics, Recaro front bucket seats, and an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel. A Titanium exhaust system is an available option.
The 2015 Nissan GT-R is a super car slotting above the two-seat 370Z and sold in three grades. Its sole engine is a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 with 545 hp and 463 lb-ft (600 hp and 481 lb-ft in the GT-R Nismo) and is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission mounted in the rear transaxle.
The 2015 Nissan GT-R offers cutting-edge performance befitting cars more than twice its price. With its powerful twin turbocharged V-6, it provides powerful acceleration while its advanced all-wheel-drive system and chassis provide superb handling that allows it to take corners at high speeds. Nismo models provide the most potent performance with revisions made to make the car an even better performer. Despite having a powerful engine, the 2015 GT-R earns respectable fuel economy ratings at 16/23 mpg city/highway.
Interior space in the 2015 GT-R is small, as expected for a car focused on performance, which means the rear seats are extremely tight, making it useless for people. Front seats, however, are supportive and hold occupants in place during spirited driving. Outward visibility is surprisingly good, giving drivers a good view out of the car. Ride comfort and interior refinement have also improved, making it less jarring and quieter than before.
The 2015 Nissan GT-R has not been crash tested by the NHTSA or the IIHS.
The 2015 Nissan GT-R remains an impressive supercar with superb performance in virtually all conditions due to its excellent all-wheel-drive system, powerful twin turbocharged, V-6 engine, quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission, and well-tuned chassis. In a First Test of the GT-R Nismo, we said that it provided the most performance, distributing power "smoothly and progressively" while improved steering and suspension makes it even more responsive compared to other GT-R's. Additionally, we also noted that despite all the performance upgrades, the car's ride comfort is better than before and its interior is much quieter compared to when the car originally came to market.

Dating was something enjoyed before marriage. But dating shouldn't end with marriage or kids or a hectic schedule—it should be a lifelong priority and pastime enjoyed with your spouse.
What is a Date?
Occasionally, you will want to make a fairly formal "appointment" with your wife. Preplanning goes a long way when you are trying to show your wife you care about her. Both of you will enjoy having an appointed time to anticipate spending together.
However, you do not need a formal appointment to count time spent with your wife as a "date." My wife and I have had dates that bloomed from spontaneous invitations, such as, "Want to grab a bite to eat?" Or, "Do you want to go shopping with me?" In a questionnaire I created to gather ideas and responses from wives across the United States, many wives I surveyed suggested they enjoy these types of spontaneous dates.
Overcoming Excuses for Not Dating
There were several responses to the question on the survey asking, "What excuses does your husband give for not going out on dates?" To be fair, I also asked the wives what excuses they used for not going on dates with their husbands. It seems most men and women give the same excuses.
• Excuse #1: I'm too tired. "I'm tired" sounds good to you as it rolls off your lips, but it does not wash. The amount of energy required for most dates is nothing compared to what you do for a living. You have the energy both for your boss and your wife—you just need to readjust your priorities.
• Excuse #2: I'm too busy. There simply must be a time each day you can take a few minutes and talk to your wife. Each day you have 24 hours. Use some for your wife.
• Excuse #3: I don't feel well. Not feeling well happens to everyone occasionally. But if you do not feel well three nights out of seven, something is wrong and you need to see a doctor. Just like the "I'm tired" excuse, "I don't feel well" does not hold much water when used repeatedly.
• Excuse #4: We have children. The excuse of not having a babysitter should be unacceptable in most cases. Take the kids with you if you have to. Swap babysitting tonight with another couple for tomorrow night and schedule it ahead of time.
• Excuse #5: We don't have any money. You don't need a bulging wallet for dating. Plan ahead for those dates that are going to cost more money and spend some time thinking of creative, inexpensive outings.
• Excuse #6: I don't want to do that. You don't have to like every activity your spouse suggests, but you need to at least be willing to try. Just focus on the company you're with and don't think so much about the activity if it's something you'd rather not be doing. You'll have plenty of opportunity to do activities of your choosing later on.
• Excuse #7: I'm going out with the guys. A woman understands when a man needs to be with the guys because they like being with the ladies. Though your wife may understand the need to spend time with your friends, it should not exceed the time you spend with her.
Creating New Habits
Here are a few hints to help you as you leave excuses behind and choose to really date your wife. These "little things," some basics gleaned from the pages of my completed questionnaires, can act as a foundation for your success.
• Save your money, but smell the roses, too. You should save for the future and for your retirement years, but you need to stop and smell the roses along the way, too. Consider the possibility that you may not be alive or in good health when those golden years come along.
• Create memories for later on. A plan to save for the future is sound. So, too, is the plan to use some of your money to build the memories that will carry you into those golden years. When you reach the stage in your life when you can sit on the porch in a rocking chair, good memories will make those years much more pleasant.
• Look into her eyes. If you will look into your wife's eyes as you interact, you can create many romantic moments. When I say "romantic moments," I mean moments of "emotional attraction or aura." Look into her eyes when she talks to you. You will learn much from looking at her, and in return, she can tell that you care by looking into your eyes.
• Conversations start with a touch. Next to the eyes, your hands are the most important tools you have for conveying your love. Always try to start a conversation with a touch. If she is standing, walk over to her and put your arms around her. If she is sitting, sit next to her and take her hand in yours or put your arm around her shoulder.
• Provide solutions, not criticism. A husband comes home tired and hot. He finds the beans burned. Instead of condemning his wife, he smiles and says, "Looks like you've been cooking all day. How would you like to get out of the kitchen? Why don't we go out to dinner?" The wife gladly says, "That's a great idea. I'm sorry the beans burned. After staying up all night with our son who was sick, I was really tired. I guess I dozed off in the chair for a few minutes too long." The husband replies, "You're usually a great cook, and you work hard as a mother and wife. You deserve to go out."
Eternal Memories
Dating doesn't end with marriage—it continues! As you replace excuses for not dating with effective dating habits, the love and friendship you and your spouse share will grow beyond what you thought possible. Your regular dates will become something you and your wife can't wait for, and it will create memories you'll carry with you into the eternities.
Stan Cronin considers himself neither artistic nor romantic, but is a retired police officer of the Phoenix Police Department. As a twenty-year veteran, he has seen the deterioration of the family and the corruption of marriage vows played out in vivid, living color. His experiences with "what-not-to-do" have only reaffirmed his belief in the value of dating your wife and helping her know how important she is to you.

Chickens eat insect pests (including Japanese beetles), aerate the soil, 'recycle' kitchen scraps and their droppings are a natural fertilizer. Chickens and gardens really can grow together.
Chickens eat grass, but they love to scratch and peck to find insects and worms.
When our neighbors' chickens paid us an impromptu visit a few years ago, it was love at first sight. No one was more surprised than I was that from that day forward, I wanted some laying hens of our own. My husband? Not so much. In fact, he was so opposed to the idea that it was one of the few times he really put his foot down. He said, "NO CHICKENS."
I didn't really say much more about the chicken idea until a couple of years later, when that inner voice started screaming at me. I really wanted chickens. I began planning my strategy.
Chickens are easy, right? And they feed you! They're fun to watch, too. They provide fertilizer for the garden. But he was having none of it. He said, "They'll wreck the grass in the run and it will be a muddy mess. We've already got enough animals to take care of. They'll give you diseases. They'll be expensive to maintain."
Being a glass-half-full kind of gal, I argued my position and addressed some of the issues he was concerned about. The place where we'd keep them is always pretty muddy in the spring anyway. I'll take care of the chickens. Chickens making us sick? Never heard of such a thing. And a bag of chicken feed costs just $11. I saw chickens in our future.
I mounted a full-on attack during the winter months leading into spring. I felt fairly certain I could convince him of the benefits of owning our own chickens, but there was one big issue to deal with: We'd need a coop.
I began pricing ready-made coops and though I felt they were a good value for the money, they were still more than I wanted to spend. I knew how handy my husband was with a hammer and a saw, so I found a nice coop plan online, showed it to him, and told him I'd help him build it. He was speechless.
To make a long story short, I was getting my chickens. We made a trip to the big box store for lumber and the other necessary items for constructing the coop, and we were on our way to becoming chicken owners.
Chicks in Spring
Spring is the time when hatcheries and farm stores have "Chick Days." You can walk in the store and find cute little chicks, ready to take home and live the good life in your backyard. By now, it was May, and though the coop wasn't yet finished, Chick Days nearly were. I knew I'd better get my chicks soon or I'd have to find another way to get them.
I took my mom with me and we went to the farm store, where we found a few chicks left. They were about a week old and luckily for me, they had two of the breeds I'd wanted to get. When deciding on the breeds, I had three requirements: cold hardy, good layers and a calm personality. Just a month before, I'd spoken at length with P. Allen Smith about this. Based on my own research and his recommendations, I picked five Silver Laced Wyandottes and three Buff Orpingtons.
There isn't anything cuter than a baby chick, and I now owned eight of them! While the coop was being completed, we kept them in a large plastic storage tub in the greenhouse. We borrowed a neighbor's warming light and used it on the few nights when the temperatures dipped low.
They got chick starter feed and fresh water every day, while wood shavings in the bottom of the tub absorbed their droppings and gave them a soft place to sleep. Before the coop was finished, they grew so large that we had to give them free run of the greenhouse.
But finally, the coop and the run were safely constructed so predators couldn't get in. This was important, since we have hawks, raccoons, skunks, foxes and other wild animals in the area that would love a chicken dinner. We'd let the hens out to free-range in the yard periodically, but only when we could keep an eye on them.
By this time, the weather had turned really hot, and I was concerned that the chickens would have problems with the prolonged temperatures in the 90s F. Water is super important for chickens and I'd read they won't drink it if they think it's warmer than they are, so I changed their water several times a day, and we put a fan inside the coop at night, just to keep the air circulating.
Egg-cellent Fall
The chickens made it through the heat wave and after going through an "ugly duckling" stage, they started looking like hens instead of young chicks. I didn't expect to see any eggs until mid-October, since most hens don't begin laying until around the age of 5 to 6 months.
One day, as I was walking from the garden to the house and passed by the chicken coop, I noticed something laying in the bottom of the run. An egg! It was the middle of September and Pippa had given us our first egg! Two weeks later, Patty laid her first one, and two weeks after that, a couple more joined in. By Thanksgiving, all eight hens were laying and we were averaging six to seven eggs a day.
More Light in Winter
Just as all the hens began laying, the days were getting shorter. Since hens are sensitive to daylight in regard to laying, this meant that they would gradually "lay off" until they weren't laying at all. That is, unless we provided extra light in the coop. We installed a caged 60-watt light bulb, which we put on a timer scheduled to come on at 3 a.m. and go off at daybreak. This allowed us to enjoy fresh eggs all winter long.
My reluctant husband now enjoys the chickens and especially likes the fresh eggs. He's not willing to admit that getting chickens was a good thing, but I've not heard him complain about having them. However, I don't think I'll get that goat I was wanting…
Won't Chickens Destroy a Garden?
Despite a chicken's penchant for scratching and pecking, you can have chickens and beautiful gardens, too. According to Jessi Bloom, in her new book, Free-Range Chicken Gardens: How to Create a Beautiful, Chicken-Friendly Yard (Timber Press), good design, attractive fencing and barriers, and good flock management make it possible.
Chickens eat insect pests (mine love Japanese Beetles and tomato hornworms!), aerate the soil, and their droppings are a natural fertilizer. With a little effort and planning, chickens and gardens can grow together.

Chicken Facts You Might Need to Know
• A rooster isn't needed for a hen to produce eggs. If you want baby chicks though, there'd better be one available.
• There are only two colors of egg shells: blue and white. All other colors are added to the outside of the egg by the hen right before she lays them.
• It takes 24 to 26 hours for a hen to produce a developed egg.
• Chicks begin chirping while still inside the egg.
• An immature rooster is called a cockerel; an immature hen is called a pullet.
• The fear of chickens is called alektorophobia.
• The average hen lives five to seven years, but can live up to 20 years. Most will continue to lay eggs all their lives, though not as often, as they age.
• There is no nutritional difference between white eggs and brown eggs.
• Chickens "recycle" kitchen scraps and garden waste. Add their manure to your compost pile or aged manure directly to your garden.

Renieri di Montalcino
The Renieri tenuta, or winery estate, comprises 128 hectares in the southern quadrant of Montalcino, on slopes that face Monte Amiata.
Thirty hectares of vineyards are planted at an elevation of 350-420 metres, their exposures forming an arc from southeast to southwest.
Following the grubbing-up of the old vineyards, new vines were planted in 1998, at a density of 6,000 vines per hectare.
The yield at just one kg. per vine, the equivalent of one bottle of wine, entails the least stress per plant and ensures perfectly ripened fruit, and thus optimal quality.
The principal grape variety at Renieri is obviously Sangiovese.
A lengthy process of vinification and maturation transforms this raw material into the classic Brunello di Montalcino.
But varieties that are more international and less common in this area, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, have also found their perfect habitat at Renieri.
Blends of these varieties make up two different IGT wines whose highly-respected quality prove that Sangiovese is not the only grape that flourishes in the Montalcino zone. In addition to these IGT wines, an important niche is reserved for Rosso di Montalcino, a wine distinguished from Brunello, its elder brother, by its hallmark early approachability, the result of a less complex ageing process. The local soils are largely volcanic, with strata of schistous limestone and rock. Classic to the area are soils made up of the reddish terra rossa, clays, and calcareous tufa.

Located in the heart of the fashion district, this former manufacturing space provided workshop/apd with numerous opportunities to reinterpret materials and their respective forms. Contemporary materials typically thought of as cold and uninviting were transformed through various fabrication processes into sumptuous and unexpected textures and forms. Steel shelving and panels, finished with a dark patina that resembled old worn leather, join with ethereal satin glass walls to define space, provide storage, and filter light. In many cases, materials normally associated with exterior surfaces were reimagined in interior applications. Split face stone, concrete flooring, teak decking, and stucco walls all bring a tremendous amount of texture and warmth to an otherwise very minimal space. Each space was meticulously detailed to have its own defined style, while still relating to the overall design sensibility of the loft. The result is a fluid and flexible home that feels both open yet cozy.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I've got a mean ol' mother-in-law. My husband and I have been together for nine years. This woman has troubled our relationship from the beginning.
My husband joined the Air Force, and we ae stationed in Germany. We really love being here. We are away from the family drama (both sides are crazy) and we are both living out a dream.
We wanted to come here for our daughters also. They are seven years old and we really want them to have an amazing life. Being born and raised in small town, we knew from the beginning that we wanted more for our girls. If you have the opportunity to give your children a life full of adventure and knowledge, wouldn't you take it?
His mother is very angry with us for moving here. We are baffled. She really didn't have much to do with us before we came here. My husband has made it very clear that we intend to live in as many countries as possible until our girls are out of high school. Every time we talk to her, she makes hateful and rude comments about how we are tearing the family apart and that our marriage will never last.
We have both tried explaining our reasons for our choice, but it does no good. We send her pictures and cards and email and call very often -- much more than when we were home -- to make her feel included, but it doesn't help. Do you have any advice on how to handle this situation?
Sincerely, Baffled DIL
Dear Baffled,
I'm very happy for you and your family. You deserve to have a great life and live it to the fullest. It sounds like the Air Force is providing a way for you and your family to live your dream and accomplish some goals along the way. Good for you!
Regarding your mother-in-law, it's quite simple: You're in Germany and she isn't ... so too bad. LoL.
From your report, it was probably best that your husband joined the Air Force and left the same town his mother lives in. If you lived near her, I don't think your marriage would last very long. She sounds like a sad, miserable lady who doesn't want anyone to be happy.
She should be so proud of her son and happy for his family. Instead, she is acting like a porcupine and throwing prickly thorns everywhere. As they say, "It's hard to hug a porcupine."
You are already doing the right thing. Enjoy your family and enjoy Germany. Take advantage of everything the military lifestyle has to offer. Don't spend too much time thinking about how your mother-in-law feels; it really doesn't matter.
If you worry about what she thinks or how she feels, then this means she has you in bondage. Don't allow her to do that, OK? Continue to send her pictures and try to keep in touch with her and stay positive when you talk to her. If the conversation becomes negative or mean-spirited, that's when you end the conversation.
Sincerely, Ms. Vicki

Snow Covered Roads Lead to Fatal Accidents
According to Argus 911, the snow-covered highways led to 2 fatal accidents Tuesday morning.
Police said a woman from Akron, Iowa died in a single car accident on Interstate 29 south of Beresford.
Tonya Marie Anderson, 38, was driving north in a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado when the vehicle went out of control and rolled, according to a news release. The roadway was slippery from freezing drizzle. Anderson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the vehicle and received fatal injuries, according to the news release.
In addition, a second fatal accident was confirmed in Union County. No details on that accident have been released.

The thin noodles are springy, and scalding hot. Surrounding them is a salty "shio" broth seasoned with seafood extract. A pile of greens nestles on top, plus a slice of pork and half a soft-boiled egg. This is ramen, the national dish of Japan, as served at Ittenbari noodle bar in Soho.
In Japan, ramen – AKA noodle soup – is more than food; it is a symbol of the nation. It has been estimated that more than a quarter of all meals eaten outside the home in Japan are ramen. It is far more widely eaten than sushi. Entire guidebooks are devoted to the best places to eat it. There are extreme ramen fans who consume little else, and, weirdly, no fewer than 24 ramen theme parks.
Yet ramen goes against everything the Japanese believed about food for hundreds of years. Barak Kushner, a Cambridge scholar and the author of Slurp! A Social and Culinary History of Ramen (Global Oriental, £55), points out that this "meaty soup made with wheat noodles" – a Chinese import – represents a break with Japanese food in the past.
At a ramen workshop organised by the Guild of Food Writers recently, Kushner spoke about how hostile the Japanese once were towards meat. Japan, he commented, "didn't eat beef and despised pork". The staple foods were rice and millet, with "not as much fish as you'd think". The Japanese ate neither the wheaten bread of the West nor the elastic wheat noodles of China, though soba noodles made from buckwheat were liked.
Bluntly, Kushner suggests that until the 20th century Japanese cooking was just "not very good" in contrast to that of China. While the Chinese wrote poems about dream meals, in Japan there was a general indifference to cuisine. This is startling given that Tokyo is now the foodiest city in the world, measured by the concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants.
But from the seventh to the early 20th century much of the population was on the verge of malnutrition. In the 19th century there were urgent discussions about whether Japan should adopt the despised meat-eating habits of the West, to become stronger both in body and military force. Ramen's success was partly down to the fact that it is so filling. Bulked out by the savoury broth, the huge bowl of noodles goes on and on. When ramen was first sold in the 1910s, as "Chinese soba", it quickly became a dish that appealed to the hungry and the poor.
By the 1950s, with Japan haunted by yet more memories of wartime starvation, ramen was a dish that appealed to everyone. The creation of instant ramen in 1958 – like soupier pot noodles – made it more popular still. People forgot that it was a Chinese import. "Contemporary Japan," writes Kushner, "almost floats on a sea of noodle soup."
Ramen's place in Japanese culture gives the lie to the idea that national tastes are eternally fixed; that Italians will always love tomatoes or that French babies are born craving garlic. In fact, as ramen shows, tastes change. That Japan should have learnt to adore soup noodles in pork broth is only slightly less surprising than our own recent conversion to sushi.

cgilberg necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo to be created for my son's bar mitzvah. We currently have one but it cannot be used to create custom postage (via zazzle.com or stamps.com) because the word "Super Bowl" is copyrighted by the NFL. The party will be a NY Giants theme but the color scheme is brown and hunter/olive green -- football colors.
Logo should represent the Giants theme but de-emphasize the blue and red colors. The color scheme of the invitations and event are chocolate brown and hunter/olive green. At the party, each table name will be a different Giants player and the centerpieces will include that giants player "in action" along with a cluster of brown, green and gold balloons. We are calling the event: Ari's Giant Party -- a play on words with "Giant".
We want to use the logo to create custom stamps for the invitations. However the current logo was rejected due to copyright issues. The logo we can't use has "Super Bowl XIII" as part of the logo and apparently the word "super bowl" is copyrighted by the NFL.
The date of the party is August 30-31 2008 and can be incorporated into the logo.
This is our current logo: http://www.happyhourspro.com/data/c…ewlogo.jpg
- Ari's Giant Party or something similar (if you can come up with an alternate tagline, that's fine!)
- August 30-31 2008

Blake Shelton and NBC are putting together a benefit for Oklahoma tornado victims.
Shelton told reporters about the fundraising effort after Tuesday night's episode of "The Voice." Shelton, an Oklahoma native, paid tribute to the thousands affected by Sunday and Monday's tornadoes by performing an acoustic version of the hit "Over You" with wife Miranda Lambert.
He said the benefit would be held soon in nearby Oklahoma City.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"We'll know more about it in the next 24 hours," Shelton told Billboard. "I'm hoping it will raise a lot of money. Obviously it will be televised and will happen really quickly."
At least 24 people, including nine schoolchildren, were killed Monday afternoon in Moore, Okla., when an F-5 tornado with 200 mph winds touched down for 40 minutes and destroyed entire neighborhoods.
Toby Keith, a native of Moore, also is planning a benefit. His sister's house was hit by the tornado.
More details about both fundraising efforts will be released later.

Wings Over The Rockies Museum hosts robotics event for National Robotics Week
Like robots? You're not alone. Wings Over The Rockies Air & Space Museum is right there with you.
From Noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 13, the museum is featuring the cutting-edge technology of robotics. The event will showcase how robots are doing things that humans can't, such as exploring planets, snapping rare photos of solar systems and performing high-risk, precision-based surgeries. The event takes place in conjunction with National Robotics Week, and people will have the opportunity to meet with industry leaders including inventors, enthusiasts and roboticists.
The event includes a firsthand look at mini, remote-controlled drones and a Denver Bomb Squad robot. Officials from local robotics companies and non-profit organizations focusing on robotics — Boosting Engineering Science and Technology (BEST), For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST), Computer Explorers, Robot Magazine, Colorado Robotics Association and the Smoky Hill Area Robotics Club — will all be in attendance, providing information on how to get involved with robotics locally.
Robot enthusiasts, young and old, will have the opportunity to witness a fully-automated Ford Focus in action, courtesy of Lockheed Martin. The event will also include activities for children, including LEGO Robotics and mechanical insects called Hex Bugs.

Ford F-100 - Charitable Efforts
Bobco's 4th Annual F-100 Supertour Kick-Off Party
For the last four years, the folks at Bobco in Elsinore, California, have sprung forward each April with a little thing they like to call the SuperTour Kick-Off Party. This year, though, it was anything but little (it really never has been a small affair), as the event was organized as a charity benefit for the Progeria Research Foundation. For their efforts and hard work, $23,000 was raised and donated to the foundation.
Progeria (Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, or HGPS) is a genetic condition that causes accelerated aging leading to premature heart failure in children, most of whom never reach age 13. Though medical treatment exists, there currently is no cure for Progeria. But that doesn't mean there isn't hope, and with contributions like that from the SuperTour Kick-Off, the Progeria Research Foundation can continue working toward finding that cure. For more information, please visit www.progeriaresearch.org
Bobco didn't go at it alone, though, as companies like Classic Performance Products, Total Cost Involved, Blue Oval Truck Parts, MidFifties, and even the folks who organize the tour, Pickups Limited, all contributed products or support to make the party happen. Our hats are off to everyone involved! Despite dark clouds looming overhead, we made the short trip down to the ever-growing Lake Elsinore area for some good eatin', a great display of F-100s, and, of course, a great cause.

(Phoenix, AZ— September 24, 2003) Today's District Court ruling in Oklahoma to block the Do Not Call registry is the equivalent of slamming down the phone on 900,000 Arizona consumers who registered on the federal Do Not Call lists.
Some states have their own Do Not Call registries. However, Arizona's list is tied directly to the federal list. Because of today's ruling, our state list is now in limbo.
I am very disappointed that the powerful telephone solicitation lobby has won this round in the battle to block unwanted telemarketing calls. However, I am confident this ruling will be appealed to and overturned by the Tenth Circuit. Arizona will join in that fight. In addition, I have contacted Arizona's congressional delegation to encourage them to make the legislative changes needed to assure that the Do Not Call Registry can go into effect as planned.
Approximately 50 million Americans – including Arizonans – sent a strong message to telemarketers when they signed up for the Do Not Call Registry.
Arizona consumers have spoken. I will fight to ensure that their message is heard in court and in Congress.

News of Sarah Robb O'Hagan leaving Gatorade to become the first president of Equinox leaked last Wednesday night on Twitter. When that news was officially announced the next day, several people on Twitter sent congratulatory tweets to Robb O'Hagan. And, in the days since the announcement, Robb O'Hagan (aka @SarahRobbOh) has personally sent several responses.
Interaction on Twitter from fitness club industry executives is becoming a growing trend. Earlier this summer during the Olympics, 24 Hour Fitness President and CEO Carl Liebert (@C3hoosier) sent out tweets and posted several retweets from London. Anytime Fitness CEO Chuck Runyon (@ChuckRunyon), an active Twitter user, responded to Twitter followers during and after his appearance on ABC's "Secret Millionaire." Recently, EvanCarmichael.com ranked Snap Fitness CEO Peter Taunton (@PeterTaunton) No. 27 on a list of Top 100 franchising experts to follow on Twitter.
Twitter can be a source for personal news as well. Late Tuesday night, RetroFitness CEO Eric Casaburi (@ECRETRO) chose Twitter to announce the birth of his son, Andrew Robert, No. 4 in the Casaburi clan.
Bryan O'Rourke (@BryanKOrourke), industry consultant and CEO of Integerus, is a frequent Twitter user, with more than 15,000 tweets and 68,000 followers to his credit. O'Rourke says many CEOs remain hesitant to engage in social media.
"From a business standpoint, social media is currently the least-utilized method for connecting with an audience," O'Rourke says. "The hierarchy of connecting is typically face-to-face, websites, channel partners, call centers, traditional media, advisory groups, and then, social media."
Citing a recent IBM CEO report, O'Rourke says only 16 percent of the more than 1,700 CEOs interviewed for the study participate in social media. However, according to the IBM analysis, that percentage is expected to grow to 57 percent within the next five years.
O'Rourke is impressed so far with Robb O'Hagan's prowess on Twitter, especially after she immediately responded with a thank-you reply to his congratulatory tweet.
"This means she is going to be able to be a real potential influencer in the space and a good influence on her organization for the future," O'Rourke says. "I think her attitude and use of social media reflects her being a new age thinker and leader who will make a big impact on the Equinox brand."

Ooh I nearly forgot – the beloved pink lipstick – how can we ignore this juicy, universally flattering shade? Here are 5 colours I really like!
MAC Pink Packed – love the creamy texture of this lipstick and it is bright without being garish. A real princess peach pink:
Nars Schiap – matte slightly drying texture but the hottest hot pink you can buy:
YSL Rouge Volupte – super super creamy texture, this pink is shocking and not for everyday but makes a statement:
Shu PK366 – a sheer and very light baby pink:
RMK Lavender blue pink lipstick C – my favourite lipstick texture in the world – glossy and water like – in a medium bright pink with blue tinges:
For me, Schiap and Provocative Pink are for parties, pink packed is for summer and lavender blue is the most wearable of all.
What are your favourite pinks?

Plea for farmers to get power price rise help
The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is calling on the state and federal governments to introduce concessions for farmers when electricity prices increase next year.
Victorians will pay 5 per cent more, on average, on their electricity bills from the start of next year.
VFF president Peter Tuohey says it will be hard for farmers to reduce their energy consumption.
"We've got piggeries, we've got dairy farmers, we've got chicken producers, we've got horticulturalists - all high energy users," he said.
"They can't really change the way they use their power and yet there's no concessions to them but the average household gets money back whereas farmers ... aren't getting anything back.
"So we certainly will be lobbying the Federal Government and also the State Government ... [to] change the way they're doing things."

A great article about play
Posted January 26, 2012on:
Check out this great article about the power of play – published today as a cover story in the Christian Science Monitor! It talks about play for kids of all ages and UBP.

Want to do something for your kids that helps promote healthy physical, cognitive, and social development? What if I told you that this activity also helps prevent substance abuse later on? With all these positive effects, you might think that I am talking about something difficult or expensive, but all you need to do is eat together as a family!
Today, we are joining teens, parents, teachers, and scientists across America to kick off National Drug Facts Week by offering up my own shoutout for educating teens about drug abuse. Sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Drug Facts Week is an official health observance designed to shatter the myths and spread the facts about drug abuse and addiction.
You will see a great deal of fantastic information on how to keep your kids happy, healthy, and drug-free on this website and others over the next week. But in the meantime, we wanted to share that one easy way that may help prevent drug use is simply eating dinner together! According to this recent press release by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, teens in families that have infrequent family dinners have an increased likelihood of substance abuse. Eating together is not only enjoyable, but also seems to help promote a healthy lifestyle for your teens. What an easy way to help keep your family safe and healthy!
A gigantic thank you from UBP to our sponsors (especially our Champions of Play – Goddard School & Sprout), exhibitors (more than 30 of them, plus fabulous performers, musicians, drummers and storytellers!), the Baltimore City Public Schools, our Play Doctors, volunteers, and the countless other 'big people' that helped to make the first ever Ultimate Block Party in Baltimore, Md., a terrific success. But most of all, THANK YOU to the families that came to Rash Field despite the chilly weather to play and learn together. From the moment you walked into our 'playground,' you embraced play with your children—and your involvement contributes to our excitement. We hope you carried away happy memories and some new ideas about how play, in childhood, connects to learning. We saw so many smiles, laughter, and shouts of excitement that it made all of the hard-work done by so many people over the last 18 months completely worth it.
Special guests U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and his family, and Baltimore City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Andres Alonso added to our excitement. Many thanks from the UBP family for the support of the wider educational community, and interest in playing and learning with the families of Baltimore. Also, over 6,000 winter coats were distributed to Baltimore families thanks to Operation Warm.
If you missed today's event, check out our PlayBook for more information about how you can incorporate play in the everyday lives of your families in new ways.
Here are some pictures in case you missed today's celebrations of the arts and sciences of play:

Baltimore is getting ready!
Posted September 13, 2011on:
As this article in the Mt. Washington Post discusses, Baltimore is gearing up for the ultimate day of play on Sunday, October 2. From the kickoff Teach Learn Play 5K presented from Playworks to the official Baltimore Ultimate Block Party, October 2 will be a day of play and learning in Baltimore! Be there!
Check out our official press release – Baltimore, here we come!
For immediate release: September 8, 2011
Marylanders Serious about Play
Baltimore, Md. – Children learn essential skills by doing something they all know and enjoy: playing. And on Sunday, October 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Rash Field in the Inner Harbor, the whole city is invited to come together and celebrate playing—and the rich learning and growth that come with it—at Baltimore's own Ultimate Block Party. The event comes on the heels of two other Ultimate Block Party celebrations—in New York City and Toronto, Canada—and makes Baltimore the third in a series of play celebrations in major cities across North America. Children and their families can take part in classic childhood pastimes—dressing up like railroad conductors, playing Four Square, flying paper airplanes, jumping rope and making art from recycled materials. And they can do yoga, make hip-hop music and play rock-n-roll baseball—and any number of other fun, family-friendly games and activities.
The Ultimate Block Party in Baltimore is hosted by the Ultimate Block Party and Port Discovery Children's Museum, and sponsored by several local and national organizations: Baltimore City Public Schools' Family Institute, Johns Hopkins Brain Science Institute, the Goddard Schools, the Walters Art Museum, T. Rowe Price, Sprout, Child First Authority, the Center for Jewish Education.
Family Institute, which works to provide Baltimore City Public Schools families with resources to support student learning in school and at home, embraced the Ultimate Block Party as a way to show that learning extends far beyond school. "The Ultimate Block Party is a great way to help families practice things that will support their students' achievement –while having fun," said Michael Sarbanes, executive director of City Schools' Office of Engagement. "We believe our parents and communities play an incredibly important role in our students' academic success, and this day puts that belief into action."
"The Ultimate Block Party shares a common vision and understanding with Family Institute and the event's many other sponsors that play equals learning—and does wonders to boost a child's social, emotional and cognitive development," said Susan Magsamen, president of the organization Ultimate Block Party (UBP) and director of interdisciplinary partnerships for Johns Hopkins Brain Science Institute. "This event is as much about raising awareness of the learning that can happen through play as it is about letting loose and having fun."
Founded in 2010, UBP is the result of leading scientists in education, psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science coming together with parents, teachers, school administrators and pediatricians who noticed a decrease in the amount of time kids spend playing. "Social, academic and economic pressures have led to an all-but disappearance of play in the lives of children," Magsamen said. "But we know from our research that children learn best through discovery, imagination, play and collaborative learning."
Organizers of the initial event were rewarded for their vision when more than 50,000 people from every borough in New York City, and even surrounding communities from New Jersey to Connecticut, came out in droves and spent the day at play. With the success of the New York event, cities across the country rushed to tailor UBP to fit their own communities. Baltimore is the first of these cities to actually hold an Ultimate Block Party event. So come out, Baltimore, come out and play on Sunday, October 2!

Carmen Electra: Is She Poor?
Upon further reflection, I suppose this makes sense. Because Carmen isn't exactly a steady "actor". And she has no reality tv show. And unlike that skank whore Denise Richards, she hasn't stabbed her friend in the back just to live off a new rocker boyfriend… which means a girl's gotta make a living, right?
But seriously… a living like this is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Seems Carmen is now the host of Naked Revolutions's Naked Women's Wrestling League. Needless to say, it's chicks giving each other pile drivers with no clothes on and while the dudes are probably all over it, having this sh-t on her resumé must be f*cking mortifying.
Can't someone give her a job? Any job?
Or is charity worse than hosting naked chicks wrestling?
You tell me.

Six numbers to ignore from the presidential campaign
This is the tax increase that middle-class families will supposedly face if President Obama is re-elected, according to the Romney-Ryan campaign. As the GOP candidate for vice president, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), put it Oct. 13, "President Obama refuses to get serious about spending. And given the president's preference to raise taxes, just to pay the interest on the debt that the president has racked up and proposed, a middle-income family will see their tax bill grow by $4,000 a year."
The figure comes from a blog post published by the conservative American Enterprise Institute think-tank based on some AEI research, but the institute wasn't estimating the cost of specific Obama proposals. Instead, it was estimating how much of the taxes paid by those making $100,000 to $200,000 would go to paying interest on the national debt. By that measure, Romney and Ryan will "raise" tax bills by $2,732, FactCheck.org reported, adding, "That's nonsense, too."(Michael Sears / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / MCT)

Misperceptions about hospice abound and I hope to clear most, if not all, of them up because hospice is an underutilized gem of specially educated and responsive professionals. The vast majority of people in the support groups I co-facilitate mistakenly believe hospice to be for the last six months of someone's life and that it is a death sentence. Struggling alone in the home with your loved one is hard on both of you. Hospice can and does provide relief and a feeling of connectedness that continues for years.
No one gets on an amusement park ride thinking it will go on forever so I marvel at (mainly) Americans who act as if life should go on forever. Admitting early on that life is a process that is very much beyond our control is key to adding hospice as a regular part of the life and death cycle. This, however, is my opinion and not based in fact. What has been studied are barriers to hospice care. Patients who may know of hospice prior to their diagnosis are not likely to bring it up to their physician. Physicians are reluctant to be honest with patients and families about "terminality"; or what the natural course of an illness (often multiple illnesses) is and both physicians and families falsely believe hospice is "giving up."
Talking early and often in the course of any terminal illness is important and I firmly believe hospice should be in the topics discussed. Educating families about the current (and changing) rules about hospice is the responsibility of the community of care from physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, and even insurance companies. An initial certification of terminal illness must be submitted and it must show that the illness would lead to probable death within six months. This does not mean you or your loved one will [die], it simply means the average. What hospice provides that a treating physician does not is a team to provide pain relief, comfort measures and nursing care as well as home maker help within the home and sometimes within a hospice building. Patients can go in and out of hospice as their condition improves or new treatments become available. A nurse is available to you 24/7 and returns calls quickly. She can come do an assessment if there is a change, she can consult with a physician and refer to a hospital. You and your family are not left alone waiting for doctors or EMTs to arrive.
In addition to medical services, the compassionate palliative care team provides emotional support in the form of care groups for caregivers. It can be very difficult to go for the first time, but like any support group, a bond generally forms and people continue to attend for a long time after their need for hospice has passed. Knowing strangers who become friends and are going down the same road is very helpful as terminal illness and the demands of caregiving often lead to isolation and depression. Knowing your respite giver is a part of the team you trust means you can give yourself permission to attend a support group, which in turn is better for your loved one because you return with renewed insight and energy.
The best palliative care teams I have met are a tight-knit group who respond differently than any health care provider you have ever worked with. Talk to your family about your preference and let them know that you want hospice at the earliest possible moment. Ask your health provider to note the same. Put it on your advanced directive. A team who works to relieve pain, follow your wishes and support your family is what every single person needs and deserves. We are fortunate that this model exists and need to get the word out so that more people can benefit.

Soft and Chewy M&Ms Cookies
I haven't made M&Ms cookies in years.
But seeing the pretty Easter and springtime pastel candy in the stores changed all that.
Something about springtime candy that's just so inviting. Pastels are just so much prettier, and therefore tastier, than red-and-green or black-and-orange candy. I was quite miffed when I opened my bag of M&Ms to find like 8 pinks. How dare they.
What better way to put my girlie candy to use than my making homemade M&M cookies. Storebought M&M cookies are usually hard, dry, cakey, or crumbly. Such a shame that perfectly good M&Ms were wasted.
I tweaked my favorite all-purpose Chocolate Chip and Chunk Cookies recipe. Most notably, I switched from a combination of both bread and all-purpose flour, to solely using all-purpose. Bread flour makes things extra chewy, gives a heartier rather than softer structure to cookies, and if you're not careful, it can dry things out.
For these, I wanted a slightly softer dough base, with no possible issues of dryness, and all-purpose flour was perfect. The interior stayed buttery soft and the edges have just the right amount of chewiness.
I also shortcut some of the stopping and starting that's found in the beginning of the original recipe. There was a lot of beating, stopping, adding one item, more beating, bowl-scraping, repeating.
Now, this is some of the easiest, fastest, and least fussy cookie dough you'll ever make. Combine 1 stick of butter, 1 egg, sugars, vanilla, and beat until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and mix. Fold in the M&Ms and you're done. So easy.
Cornstarch is the secret ingredient that helps these cookies bake up super soft. Cornstarch is why Pudding Cookies and Cake Mix Cookies bake up so soft, and it's trick I learned with the Chocolate Chip and Chunk Cookies.
Since then, I've used it in Soft Batch Dark Brown Sugar Coconut Oil Cookies, Soft and Puffy Peanut Butter Coconut Oil Cookies, Thick and Soft Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.
I also used it in the crust of The Best Lemon Bars so that the crust isn't your typical dog-biscuit, hard, dry crumbly shortbread. It's firm, yet lighter, softer and more tender.
It worked like a champ here, keeping the cookies soft and tender, without being cakey.
I wasn't skimpy with the M&Ms, to the point that when you're forming the dough mounds before baking, it may seem like you have as many M&Ms as dough in your mixing bowl. Just stuff them back into the dough if they're trying to fall out, and later you'll savor each and every crunchy candy-coated bite.
After the dough comes together, form two tablespoon-sized mounds. I made these cookies fractionally smaller than in the original recipe by about a half-ounce. Doesn't sound like much, but I didn't want those pretty M&Ms in the oven any longer than absolutely necessary for fear they would bleed, run, or crack. I think my fears were mostly unfounded, but used my trusty medium 2-inch cookie scoop to form modest balls of dough, baked for just over 8 minutes, and they emerged perfect and unscathed.
Place all the mounds on a large plate, cover it with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days, before baking. If you bake with warm dough, your cookies will spread more and won't stay as thick and puffy, which is why I always bake with chilled dough.
It's a blessing and a curse to have plates of cookie dough in the fridge. It makes it very easy to bake up a few fresh, warm cookies for dessert. Or with morning coffee. Or as an afternoon snack. Or as a midnight snack.
Let's not even talk about the frozen golf balls in Tupperwares in the freezer. Sometimes I'm not quite sure what I'm grabbing, but after 10 minutes at 350F I find out that oh yes, these are the Cranberry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies not the Maraschino Cherry White Chocolate Cookies. Sometimes surprises are good.
Bake the cookies at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes, no more. The cookies shown in the photos were baked with dough that had been chilled for two days, allowed to come to room temp for 15 minutes, and then baked for 8 1/2 minutes, with trays rotated at the 4-minute mark. The cookie tops should be set, but barely, and will be pale, glossy and appear underdone, but they firm up as they cool.
Baking any longer than 10 minutes and you run the risk of the bottoms browning too much, the M&Ms cracking, or ending up with hard, dry, rock-like hockey pucks after cooling. Everyone's ingredients, oven, climate, and personal preferences are different, but they taste best when they're not over-baked and are softer.
They turned out so soft, moist, and tender in the interior with perfectly chewy edges. The dough is buttery, with hints of vanilla.
There's an abundance of M&Ms in every bite and I love biting into their shells. The dichotomy of smooth, supple dough, generously flanked with candy, and hearing those little shells crack and crunch as I bite down, and feeling the crunchy coating bits between my teeth, like sweet little eggshells, it's just something I love.
They're the best M&Ms cookies I've ever had.
And not just because there's pink M&M's baked in, but that doesn't hurt.
Soft and Chewy M&M Cookies
These are the best M&M Cookies I've ever had. They're soft, moist, and tender in the interior with perfectly chewy edges. The dough is buttery, with hints of vanilla. There's an abundance of M&Ms in every bite. I tweaked my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and added M&Ms.Cornstarch is the secret ingredient that keeps them extra soft.The dough can be made in advance, refrigerated, and baked off as desired, up to 5 days later. A great option to have for fresh, warm cookies without having to mix up dough.
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate M&Ms (or another variety of M&Ms, or chocolate chips may be substituted)
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (or use a hand mixer and beat for at least 7 minutes).
- Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Add the M&Ms and fold in by hand.
- Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping mounds. Place mounds on a large plate, flatten mounds very slightly with your palm, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days, before baking. Do not bake with warm dough because cookies will spread.
- Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat, parchment, or spray with cooking spray. and place them on the baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart; I bake 8 cookies per sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges have set and tops are just beginning to set, even if slightly undercooked, pale and glossy in the center. Do not bake longer than ten minutes as cookies will firm up as they cool (The cookies shown in the photos were baked with dough that had been chilled for two days, allowed to come to room temp for 15 minutes, and were baked for 8 1/2 minutes, with trays rotated at the 4-minute mark. They have chewy edges with soft pillowy centers). Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.

A grown man living with his over-religious mother struggles to grasp the ability to function as a man and avoid his mothers grasp. When a female coworker tempts him but ultimately lets him down, hell hath no fury like a psycho scorned.
The story opens with our subject Tom Connelly sleeping. A twisted little soul as it would seem is narrating a bit while an unidentified woman gives an unidentified man head. Cut to a few scenes where you can hear a woman yelling at someone as the camera is set on a toy dog. She asks what he has on his fingers, tastes it, calls it the devils nectar, and you see a child's pair of underwear drop and hear slaps. Cut to another scene where someone's getting head but this time it's Tom. You hear him praying as the girl goes to town but the end result isn't as favorable for this 'c**k sucker' as the last! haha Vile yes I know, but when does one have the opportunity to use such language and have it be exactly correct?! Ok, getting back.
He gets home and you hear mom forcing herself into his room. After an argument, some insight to this screwed up family comes into light as she bends him over her knee and spanks him like a naughty bitch. Next day, he goes off to work where his coworkers lack of respect for him shows. This is when you start to realize he is just a tad bit slow. Well besides the still allowing himself to get spanked. Gossiping coworkers are having a conversation and when he tries to interrupt for work purposes, his nick name 'weird Tim' is introduced. He almost seems childlike.
He gets called into the office and this is where we meet Louise. A meek little woman but who seems to be almost as strange as Tim. And yes, Tim gets enamored. Louise is safe from his perverted obsession at this point. He takes out his 'manly needs' on a different woman and then it cuts scene to him cleaning blood out of his trunk.
Now we meet Bobby. he is outside with Tim as Tim performs a little 'spring cleaning'. He lets off a firecracker and Tim's mom immediately flies out to reprehend the child for having such things. Tim and Bobby really seem to have at least a friendship but Tim's mom scares him off. Tim goes in for dinner with his mother. She tells him a story about the little boys father and what a apparent piece of sh*t he is. Then she goes into a story of the horrors of fireworks. (Yes, there is a point to this part of the review but get your ass out there and pick it up to see what) Ok. Now cut to mom groaning. Camera spans down her leg to reveal Tim giving her a foot massage. EWWW, I don't love my mama that much to massage her broke down ass feet as she moans like the big O is eminent. But, that's why I'm not Tim! Giving mama this foot massage makes him very angry. So he goes out to find another 'toy' to play with. Ok, here is a squirm alert on this scene. Guess who never made it to the market. Watch the film and you will get the joke.
From this point on, the film gets even more dark and disturbing. So I will leave it here and get into my opinion. I have scanned around after seeing this film and read what other people thought here and there. Some people really liked it and others really hated it. Apparently I am the first girl to do a review on this film. And I have to say it's my pleasure. This movie is %$%*@ up!! And when say %$%*@ up, it is in the best possible way. I am a horror fan. A TRUE horror fan. I realize that the horror genre is not limited to gore and shock and creepy shadow shots. It is about all things that give you that wonderfully grotesque feeling inside. There are a few things that I thought were pointless or just not very well explained. One part that I felt didn't fit into the movie was a scene when he cuts open a victims chest and it reveals a face. Now I get the meaning behind it, but it was just very misplaced especially with no explanations or hints that were clear.
I also thought the scene of his boss behind the closed door with who, by guess, was an assistant of some sort got a little hoakie due to the over pronunciated NY stereotypical secretary voice. A lot of this film felt natural so that threw me off.
But this brings me into, great casting job! The actor who played Tim, played the sh*t out of that role. He hit spots perfectly and the two personalities that he had to nail were completely separate and you know when he was who so to speak. I wanted to give his pasty redhead self a hug during some of these parts.
Louise did a great job as well. If you take out the whole crazy hooker killer aspect, these two would have been cute together. George Snow directed and wrote this film which took about two years to shoot.
Dude George, what the hell is going on in your head? Great film but I would hide my pantie liners if I was your wife! (Watch the film and you will understand that one also) The character development was very apparent in the film. Mom was a crazy bitch too! Overall, this movie IS NOT for everyone. Us Sinners is a great movie for a twisted mind. And it just so happens that this girl owns one of those!
