Rubber deflashing is the process of removing excess material called flash, or flashing, from the surfaces of molded rubber parts. The causes of flash are numerous and include parting line mismatches, improper venting, inadequate clamping pressure, poor sprue bushing support, and excessively low viscosity. No matter what the cause, old or worn tooling is often to blame. Rubber molders can remove flash by hand, but Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing offers advantages in terms of quality, consistency, versatility, and costs. The following sections answer some key questions about the benefits of our technology.
How does rubber deflashing work – and what about surface quality?
Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing uses gaseous nitrogen to freeze your parts so that the flash becomes brittle and easy-to-remove. Your parts are then blasted with non-abrasive polycarbonate media that comes in different lengths and diameters to allow processing without impacting critical tolerances or surface finishes. Our deflashing process is especially efficient at removing flash from cross holes, blind holes, and other challenging geometries that are hard-to-reach with hand tools. By contrast, manual deflashing can miss flash altogether. It can also remove too much material or mar part surface finishes.
Is the quality of cryogenic deflashing consistent from part to part?
Unlike hand trimming, cryogenic rubber deflashing is computer-controlled. An operator loads a parts basket into a machine, but the deflashing process itself is automated. This ensures the consistent removal of flash from part to part. With hand trimming, rubber molders may get different results across workers, shifts, and days of the week. Because Nitrofreeze® defines and stores the optimal recipe for removing flash from your molded rubber parts, we can also provide repeatable results with each order that you send us. Through sampling, we also measure the dimensions of your parts before and after deflashing.
Which rubber materials and parts can be deflashed?
The Nitrofreeze® rubber deflashing process can be used with many different types of elastomers. Examples include butyl, EPDM, gum rubber, neoprene, nitrile (NBR, Buna-N), polyurethane, silicone, and urethane. In addition, our cryogenic deflashing technology can be used with blocks, bumper stops, eye cups, distal handles, housings, O-rings, overmolded springs, and rubber gaskets in various shapes and sizes. The bulled list below contains links to proof-of-concept case studies where you can learn more.
- Black rubber eye cups
- Molded rubber grommets
- Polyurethane gaskets
- Round silicone gaskets
- Silicone blocks
- Silicone bumper stops
- Silicone distal handles
- Silicone housings
- Silicone O-rings
- Silicone overmolded springs
How do cryogenic deflashing costs compare to hand trimming costs?
The advantages of Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing include a savings on labor costs. With hand trimming, rubber molders need significant labor hours to handle high volumes of parts or remove flash from challenging geometries. Plus, even the fastest and most skilled workers can only deflash one part a time. By contrast, Nitrofreeze® rubber deflashing is a batch process that can handle tens or hundreds of parts all at the same time. At a time when good workers are hard time find, your business will also benefit from the ability to use skilled labor on activities that add greater value to your operations.
What's the best way to get started with rubber deflashing?
Do you mold high volumes of rubber parts? Do you need to remove flash from cross holes, blind holes, or other hard-to-reach part features? Watch this YouTube video to see how the Nitrofreeze® cyrogenic deflashing works. Then contact the experts at Nitrofreeze® to review your rubber deflashing requirements. If your part is a viable candidate for our process, we can perform sampling and share the results with you. The consultation is free of charge, so contact us at the phone number and email below to get started.

Are you looking to go deeper in your relationship with God? Join us as we explore the Spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Our retreat will explore some of the key aspects of the spirituality which flowed out of the life and Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, who was declared the Patron Saint of retreats by Pope Pius XI in 1922. This retreat will introduce participants to Ignatian methods of prayer, such as the Daily Examen. Guests will also learn more about the richness of silence and imaginative prayer using Scripture. We'll explore how we might more effectively discern God's will for us using St. Ignatius' time-tested methods, and how we can more easily find God in all things. In addition to the presentations, there will be periods of silent prayer. The extra day will give us more time for reflection and opportunities for individual spiritual direction. If the weather permits, the retreat group may do a group prayer walking exercise too. Guided by Paul Gallagher.
Check-in begins at 4pm. An introduction session will be held at 5pm before dinner. Then the retreat will begin after dinner on Thursday. The group will be in silence for portions of this retreat.
Paul Gallagher, D.Min. is a longtime faith formation leader in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Book Review: The Greatest Escape
The Greatest Escape: A True Civil War Adventure
By Douglas Miller
Lyons Press, 2016, $26.95 hardcover
Reviewed by Doug Crenshaw
Of the thousands of Federal officers who were imprisoned in Richmond's notorious Libby prison, 109 made a daring attempt to escape in February 1864. Douglas Miller spins the tale of this breakout in a most engaging way – it reads like a suspense novel. Much of the story is told in first-person accounts.
The story begins with the capture of some Union troops, and Miller's narrative makes you feel as though you were there. While some of the prisoners were handled poorly, others were surprisingly treated with respect. This all changed when they arrived in Richmond. The privates, corporals and sergeants were trundled off to Belle Isle, an outdoor prison with little or no protection from the elements and extremely poor sanitary conditions. The officers were sent to their own hell… a converted warehouse known as Libby Prison. Miller provides a moving description of the conditions there. The cruelty of the guards (and especially of the commandant) was appalling. There was little food, most of which was inedible. Muddy drinking water was taken from the James River. The warehouse was extremely overcrowded. Men were hungry, filthy, cold in the winter and hot in the summer. As a side note, Miller states that some 51,000 prisoners around the country never made it back to their homes.
Individuals made several attempts to escape. Sometimes these were traps–men were led to believe that their freedom could be bought from some of the guards. To their extreme disappointment, they discovered that the authorities were waiting for them outside the prison. Some Union loyalists tried to help, notably Elizabeth Van Lew. Escape seemed nearly impossible, and the guards definitely thought it was. However, a few intrepid officers would not be deterred and they hatched a plan to work their way down to the basement and tunnel out. Once they escaped the building, their ordeal had only begun; they would still have to carefully make it fifty miles to the Union lines at Williamsburg in the dead of winter.
Miller offers a vivid description of the attempt. The officers had to cut their way down two floors to the vermin-infested basement: "rat hell "as they termed it. A few attempts failed, as they didn't dig far enough, or the tunnel was just too tight. Suffocation became a real threat. Finally, they were able to dig a tunnel across the grounds and past the fence, and 109 men made a run for it. Some hid in the city briefly while others went on. Once the breakout was discovered, Confederate patrols were everywhere. Dogs were sent out. It was the dead of winter, and the men were hungry and freezing. About 48 of the escapees were recaptured, and the ones who did make it to the Federal lines owed it in large part to slaves along the way who fed them and provided them with shelter and directions. One unfortunate escapee made it to within a half-mile of freedom before being caught.
Miller tells a gripping story, backed by solid research and primary accounts. His work paid off: it's definitely a fascinating read.
2 Responses to Book Review: The Greatest Escape
I heard about this escape in the book: "Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy: a Civil War Odyssey" by Peter Carlson. Junius Browne and Albert Richardson were northern correspondents captured near Vicksburg and sent east. They were at Libby Prison, but were transferred to Salisbury about a week before the Libby Prison breakout. They ended up escaping from Salisbury. Junius and Albert were assisted by slaves, also. They stopped by one slave family cabin and were fed and sheltered. The man noticed that Junius was without a hat and gave him his own hat. Carlson wrote, "Here was a man who owned almost nothing- he did not even own himself- but was willing to give his hat to a stranger he'd probably never see again." Richardson later wrote an early biography on General Grant.

Distribution of scarce permits
Category: Scarce licenses
Scarce permits in the Netherlands may be distributed according to specific regulation. I've For example, a lottery of scarce permits can determine who is eligible for a permit, however, the lottery should be done according to a fair and clear procedure. Case law shows that the Services Directive imposes requirements on almost all scarce permits for services, including the requirement that these permits may not be granted for an indefinite period. You may find it helpful when a lawyer assist you to protect your interest in this procedure. In my book Business Licences in the Netherlands you can read more about this topic.
Restriction on scarce permits
There must be an urgent reason of public interest to limit the number of permits available. This limitation is often the subject of litigation for administrative lawyers. Aggrieved applicants often do not accept what is put forward as a reasonable reason for limiting the number of permits. For example, the restriction of permits for canal boats of a certain length in Amsterdam was declared to not have an urgent reason of public interest, justifying the restriction (Council of State, 7 June 2017, ECLI:NL:RVS:2017:1520). An urgent reason is for example, the restriction of permits for games of chance in order to curb (the chance of) addiction, to protect the consumer and to combat criminality and illegality. If the permit allocation procedure has been adequately and timely announced, the following requirements apply to the application process. Also check out the top 5 of scarce licences.
Procedure for ditributing scarce permits
1) The Licencing authority must apply the distribution criteria for scarce permits equally to all applications and may not deviate from the criteria in individual cases. Not even if these criteria are formulated in a policy for the allocation of permits. This requirement stems from the principle of equality.
2) Even if the choice of a particular allocation procedure has been announced in good time, it is no longer possible to switch to another allocation procedure once an application procedure has started. This requirement also stems from the principle of equality.
3) In principle, the licensing authority cannot grant scarce permits for an indefinite period of time. This requirement stems from the equality principle and prevents the "chosen" permit holder from being disproportionately advantaged. Deviations from this requirement are not very likely in the case of scarce permits for an economic activity. In the case of other scarce permits, deviations may be justified by the principle of legal certainty, under certain circumstances.
4) Restricting real competitive opportunities for applicants in the distribution of scarce business permits is only possible if it is sufficiently justified by an overriding reason in the general public interest as referred to in Article 4 of the Services Directive. Here too a lawyer can provide assistance as there is plenty of case law from the European Court on this method of restricting permits.
Granting a permit in the order of receipt
The 'order of receipt' criterion fits in with the municipality's lack of concern regarding (the quality of) the activity to be carried out, as long as the legal conditions protecting a public interest are met. As a distribution mechanism it therefore fits well with a licensing system in which the government is also neutral towards the activity to be performed, and only interferes to protect a specific public interest. First come, first served only becomes a distribution mechanism if the step is taken from one-for-one processing to processing in which the order of entry is a selection criterion for the distribution of permits among all (potential) applications that are treated equally and impartially. Someone who is already a permit holder should not be favoured, therefore the period of validity should be limited. In the case of a permit for services, no exception is possible for this limited period of validity.
Comparisson of applicants for a permit
In a comparative test, the municipality directly asserts a public interest in the activity to be performed. With the comparative test, the municipality conducts a comparative judgment of the most favourable applications, in the light of the chosen selection criteria, announced in advance. This is more in line with the classic concession, where the municipality itself recognizes the public interest in the activity to be performed and therefore considers it desirable, for example, when approving the exploitation of scarce natural resources in the public interest.
Waiting list for scarce permits
Regardless of the distribution mechanism, one can work with a waiting list. The legal design of the waiting list can differ, but often requires regulation. Three variants of a waiting list for permits are possible:
i. an application is held until a new permit becomes available (for example, due to the end of the validity period of a granted permit), or
ii. a permit is granted but under a condition of availability within a certain period, or
iii. the waiting list of applicants may function as a "reserve list" to use any unused permits already issued, or as a way of accommodating a rolling system of application and granting.
An important consideration in such mechanisms is the period of validity of the permits, as this should not be unlimited. In addition, current permit holders should not be given preferential treatment over others.
Objecting to permit refusal
If the requested permit is denied, the applicant may object to the decision denying the permit. If the objection procedure does not bring a good result then you can appeal with the court. More on litigation on licences you will find here. One of Blenheim's permit lawyers will be able to determine the chances of an appeal against the decision to refuse a permit.

It's the time of month that all (well, some...maybe) have been waiting for...Okay, perhaps no one has been waiting, but I must get through the entire calendar.
For new readers, with enough time to waste on this tosh, I will repeat the standard explanation of this post; others can push on to the main course.
Despite of my disdain for horoscopes, I do recognize the creative talent needed to write such nonsense. Several years ago, I received a copy of the definitivehoroscope. I think this was written by some clever New York advertising copywriter or team of writers. It is definitely irreverent and ironical, but does contain a glimmer of truth (whatever that is). Each should be able to recognize one or the other personal trait or something irritating in someone you know. Horoscopes and alchemy are similar: each "science" tries to produce something of value from nothing. Alchemy has been debunked, but horoscopes continue to thrive. A clever use of words can manipulate hopes and emotions of certain gullible people. (Where have we heard that before? It seems to be a common thread in thoughts about human beings.) Like robots, all humans are programmed to act in certain ways...which clever horoscope creators have picked up on.
You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are a pussy. Most Leos are bullys. You are vain and cannot tolerate honest criticism. Your arrogance is disgusting. Leos are always thieving bastards.

Good morning and Happy Happy HAWWWWMP DAY! Hope your week is going well – I'm in post away-from-home try-to-get-in-the-swing-of-things mode! FINALLY got back on the treadmill on Tuesday. Bleh – but…have I mentioned that I really like wearing clothes straight off the rack (from JJill if possible – like…when it's on sale!!) and knowing with very little doubt that a medium will fit?? ROFL!
So…back to the careful-of-every-bite regime and….the dreadmill.
My card today is a clean and simple one that is quick to make for Christmas! I used the sweet little Tree Angle stamp set – one of the flyover sets in the current mini catalog. It coordinates with the Stitched Triangles Dies (part of The Right Triangle bundle in the Annual Catalog) – which is handy! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the CAS(E) This Sketch this week.
And the color palette is from The Spot color challenge.
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Tree Angle at the bottom in Real Red. Then I matted it on Mossy Meadow for the card front.
On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped some trees. All of the trees – except one of the smallest ones – was stamped in Pear Pizzazz. That lone tree was stamped in Mossy Meadow.
On the more….squatty?…tree (the isosceles triangle, if you're interested in my mad math skills!)…I added the Tree Angle poinsettia image in Real Red and the leaves in Mossy Meadow.
I cut the trees out with their matching dies in the Stitched Triangle Dies.
I adhered the flower-strewn tree at the top with Liquid Glue. Then I added the rest of the trees with Stampin' Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.
I tied a little bow from Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the top tree with a Glue Dot. Tip: the braided trim can be gently pulled apart to make it a little wider and…"lacier"!
I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the trees (and the middle of the poinsettias!) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the Tree Angle sentiment three times in Real Red on a Whisper White panel. In the corner I added the isosceles tree again – letting it spill off the corner of the panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Pear Pizzazz card base, popped the card front on with Stampin' Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Tree Angle tree with Poinsettias on the front…
…and I pulled out some Heartwarming Hugs DSP for the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This little "flyover" Tree Angle set is deceptively easy to overlook. The sweet little tree images – with their old-fashioned decoration – should not be missed. Especially given that you can get the dies to cut them out -when you purchase the Stitched Triangles die set – either on its own or…better!…as part of a money-saving bundle with The Right Triangle stamp set! 🙂
I hope you like – and will pick this up for your Christmas cards!!

The Five Must-Have Pot Stocks for 2021
Top Pot Stocks Aiming for New Highs in 2021
The outlook for pot stocks is more optimistic following the election win by Joe Biden. That's due to the view that the Democrats are more favorable than the Republicans to marijuana legalization.
In 2020, we saw legal pot operators focus on better cost containment and access to financing for capital expenditures. But missing from the restructuring in the cannabis sector was the relative absence of mergers and acquisitions.
My view was that pot companies could further streamline their operations and cut costs via getting bigger.
We finally saw a major development on December 16 after two Canadian pot companies, Aphria Inc (NASDAQ:APHA) and Tilray Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY), announced a merger.
The proposed deal would see the bigger of the two companies, Aphria, own 62% of the merged company but retain the Tilray name. Once the deal is completed in the second quarter of 2021, the new Tilray will be the largest pot company in the world, based on revenue.
Moreover, the proposed merger could trigger increased merger-and-acquisition activity in the marijuana sector, driven by the need to build scale and cut costs.
Technical Analysis of My Top Five Pot Stocks
Tilray Inc
I'm going to start with the current star of the pot stock world, after its merger news. Tilray Inc, with a current market cap of $1.3 billion, will be much bigger after the merger. The company's new valuation will likely exceed $3.5 billion.
Tilray's stock chart shows a downward trendline from June, after a strong rally from $2.43 during the March sell-off to the $12.00 level in June. TLRY stock failed to hold, and found itself in a downward channel until the trendline resistance breakout in early November after the U.S. election.
With the move, Tilray stock recovered to its 200-day moving average (MA) and is now well above its 50-day MA.
Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
TLRY stock again failed to hold until it surged by 24% on the merger news. Tilray stock, however, remains well below its 52-week high of $22.95.
We could see renewed buying, as TLRY stock appears to be on the verge of displaying a golden cross pattern, a bullish situation in which the 50-day MA breaks above the 200-day MA.
Tilray stock's comparative gains versus its peer group (as of December 22) were underwhelming on a year-to-date basis, but that has improved over the short term.
|Time Period
|Tilray Stock
|Canopy Growth Stock
|Curaleaf Stock
|Trulieve Stock
|Vireo Health Stock
|One Month
|Three Months
While TLRY stock's technical chart had been bearish, there are now some positive signs, as the stock looks to hold after the breakout of trendline resistance following a bullish ascending triangle.
Note that the current technical view doesn't incorporate the merger with Aphria. Looking ahead, a sustained breakout at $10.00 could see Tilray stock move toward $15.00 and $20.00.
Near-term technical opinion: Bullish.
Canopy Growth Corp
Canopy Growth Corp (NASDAQ:CGC) is the biggest player in the legal pot segment, based on market valuation.
After struggling in early 2020, Canopy Growth stock recently surged to a new 52-week high, just below $30.00. CGC stock has tripled from its March low, up 61.5% over the last three months and 22.9% in 2020, to a market valuation of close to $10.0 billion.
Canopy Growth stock was drifting in a consolidation channel between $17.00 and $25.00 from October 2019. Then the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced and CGC stock plummeted to $9.00 in March 2020.
Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
Canopy Growth stock's rally has been impressive, highlighted by the breakout of a subsequent consolidation channel of $14.00 and key resistance of $20.00.
CGC stock is easily above both its 50-day and 200-day MAs. A golden cross pattern emerged in November, which was followed by the breakout of the trendline resistance. This was supported by strong relative strength and a bullish moving average convergence/divergence (MACD).
In the near term, there could be an opportunity on price weakness, as indicated by weakening relative strength and a MACD sell. On the upside, once $30.00 is taken out, Canopy Growth stock will move toward $40.00.
Investors might want to consider accumulating CGC stock on price weakness. My view is that it will reward patient investors.
Near-term technical opinion: Bullish.
Curaleaf Holdings Inc
Curaleaf Holdings Inc (CNSX:CURA, OTCMKTS:CURLF) is the second-largest pot stock, based on a market valuation of around $7.9 billion.
Curaleaf stock traded at a record $13.09 on December 18, up 100.5% in 2020, representing one of the top gainers.
CURLF stock staged an impressive rally from its March low to well above its pre-COVID-19 level. The strong trendline was supported by strong relative strength and MACD.
Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
Curaleaf stock's push above its 50-day and 200-day MAs was driven by a golden cross pattern in July. The stock recently broke out after an ascending triangle pattern that was supported by strong relative strength and a MACD buy.
CURLF stock's breakout at resistance at $8.00, $9.50, and $12.00 was bullish. A sustained move could drive Curaleaf stock toward $16.00.
Near-term technical opinion: Bullish.
Trulieve Cannabis Corp
Trulieve Cannabis Corp (CNSX:TRUL, OTCMKTS:TCNNF) has been the top-performing pot stock since the sell-off in March, as shown on the below chart.
You'll rarely find a more bullish stock chart. Trulieve stock has been on an impressive rally since trading below $6.00 in March. TCNNF stock is up a sizzling 438% from its March low, and it was up 166.9% in 2020.
Trulieve stock easily broke above resistance at $10.00 to $16.00 after the emergence of a golden cross pattern in May.
Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
TCNNF stock broke to a record $33.13 on December 17 after displaying a bullish ascending triangle pattern. The rally and breakouts were supported by strong relative strength and MACD.
The near-term technical picture for Trulieve stock is bullish, but overbought. This implies a potential retrenchment toward its 50-day MA and low-$20.00 level, which would be a great opportunity for investors.
Near-term technical opinion: Bullish.
Vireo Health International Inc
While I have presented four of the biggest pot stocks, there are numerous smaller players that offer higher risk, but also the potential for higher rewards.
That's the case with micro-cap Vireo Health International Inc (CNSX:VREO, OTCMKTS:VREOF), which has been on an impressive uptrend since trading at $0.20 during its March low.
The following chart shows VREOF stock in a strong bullish trend characterized by multiple breakouts supported by strong relative strength and MACD. Vireo Health stock is looking for direction after an ascending triangle breakout.
Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
VREOF stock is up 39.4% over the past three months. It recently traded at a 52-week high of $1.43, which is still well below its record $5.06 in April 2019. Since its 52-week high, Vireo Health stock has been drifting in a tight sideways channel above its 50-day MA.
For those with risk capital, VREOF stock could be an ideal trade. A rally could trigger a move toward key resistance at $1.50 to $2.00.
Near-term technical opinion: Bullish.

Michael J. Fox is a man of many talents — he's an accomplished actor, a passionate activist and, as he reminded fans on Saturday night, he's also one heck of a guitar player.
While hosting the Michael J. Fox Foundation's annual charity event, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's," Fox joined blues rocker Dave Matthews onstage for a performance of "All Along the Watchtower." But he didn't simply strum along.
Midway through the jam, Fox broke out in a free-form guitar solo that wowed the crowd.

The True Meaning of Solstice
Hello Cousins,
In this edition of Planet Waves FM, I consider the true meaning of solstice and its getting lost amidst all the glitz of the modern holidays. Before that, I describe the beginning of the 14th baktun of the Mayan calendar, and the Full Moon in the sign Cancer that happens early Friday.
Then I'm joined by two guests — my niece Josie Coppolino as well as my friend Beth Bagner, for the discussion about the holidays, family dynamics, and who wants to be at home and who wants to be around others. This is a fun, longish program designed for those who happen to be at home in front of their computer, well, right around now.
Note, the Moon is slow these days — not moving as fast as I thought.
Here is your program in the Old Player. Note, you can download a compressed file of the program on the Old Player page, which also includes a full archive of Planet Waves FM going back to 2010. More recent programs are collected in the category listing at the top of the blog frame.
With love,

Sunday, June 15, 2014, David Harris and I just wanted to reach out to others whose parishes suffered St. Joachim's fate last year. The Holy Spirit literally directed us to Notre Dame De Lourdes in Swarthmore. We were blessed meeting the parishioners who were trying to understand this decision and also grateful to know that other people care about what's happening to them. Do You Care?

By now you must see how easy it is to use all of my base recipes to create thousands of amazing cakes!
Today I am using my favorite and of course it's chocolate!
Combined with my best vegan buttercream loaded up with Biscoff Cookie Butter *not sponsored
You instantly have Cookie Butter Crunch Cake!
With a jar of Biscoff Cookie Butter and some Biscoff Cookies,
In no time you will have yourself a fantastic new layer cake to add to your collection!
The Cookie Butter Crunch Balls are an optional garnish but believe me if you make them you really don't even need this cake! LOL
They are so good on their own you can seriously just stop right there!
Completely joking though, because I urge you to make this cake in it's entirety!
The moist chocolate cake layers, crunchy cookie butter filling and creamy cookie butter buttercream all go together just perfectly!
If you cannot get Biscoff Cookie Butter for some reason you can simply sub in peanut butter for an equally amazing cake!
Nutter Butter Cookies are also accidentally vegan or you can always just make your own with my recipe here!
This recipe even makes cupcakes too!
Just follow the recipe as listed below but instead bake the batter into cupcakes.
Filling each cavity 3/4 full and baking at same temperature, they should be ready in about 18-20 minutes!
But for those who are here for the layer cake, let's go!
Surprisingly this time I am using 8″ cake pans that will then be torted to make 4 total layers.
If you have 4 -8″ pans then you can divide the batter evenly and bake 4 separate layers
But if not just slice them after baking when they are cooled *as shown in the video

- Mix until it is all uniform & evenly distributed then scoop into balls, roll the balls with your hands and then refrigerate while you melt your white & dark chocolates.
- Coat the balls with the dark chocolate first and then plunge into the white chocolate for a swirled effect. Transfer to the parchment lined sheet pan to set.

Jodie Mack (b. 1983)
Blanket Statement #1: Home is Where the Heart is (2012)
Jodie Mack is an experimental animator who received her MFA in film, video, and new media from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. Combining the formal techniques and structures of abstract/absolute animation with those of cinematic genres, her handmade films use collage to explore the relationship between graphic cinema and storytelling, the tension between form and meaning. Musical documentary or stroboscopic archive: her films study domestic and recycled materials to illuminate the elements shared between fine-art abstraction and mass-produced graphic design. The works unleash the kinetic energy of overlooked and wasted objects and question the role of decoration in daily life.

ZSR Library was well-represented at this year's TechXploration! This annual university event is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and showcases the use of technologies in teaching, learning, research, engagement, and creative endeavors at Wake Forest University. What follows is a collection of brief reports from ZSR Librarians about their contributions at this year's TechXploration.
RootsMOOC: A Massive Open Online Course for Genealogy Research,
Kyle Denlinger, eLearning Librarian
I talked with quite a few people about the massive online genealogy course I'm running in collaboration with the State Library of North Carolina. People were most interested in why ZSR is doing what it's doing with open online courses, since it isn't readily apparent how these courses directly impact teaching and learning on campus or how ZSR benefits from offering them for free. Light bulbs went off with most of these people when I explained that ZSR is offering courses like RootsMOOC so we can experiment with new methods and tools for teaching and learning and bring what we learn back to a traditional teaching context. These courses are also excellent ways to promote the value and expertise of librarians in a way that aligns directly with the mission of libraries to inspire lifelong learning.
The Google Glassroom: Implementing Google Glass into the Library Classroom,
Amanda Foster, Instruction Librarian
This poster covered my experience teaching with a Google Glass in the library's credit-bearing library course, LIB 100. Students gained hands on experience with Glass through daily activities like creating photo diaries, documenting scavenger hunts, producing video tutorials, and creating skits to share their personal beliefs about acceptable and unacceptable uses of Glass. Students also explored several information-related themes by having Google Glass be the focus of a semester-long research project.
LIB 100 Goes Online: Developing a Summer Online Course,
Amanda Foster, Instruction Librarian and
Kyle Denlinger, eLearning Librarian
This poster covered our ongoing experience of creating an online version of LIB 100, which will be taught in summer 2015. As a part of the development process, we re-visited and revised our learning outcomes in light of the new opportunities presented by creating an online course. The poster also discussed new tools we plan to use to assess student learning, including blogs and discussion forums. We also discussed what technologies would be needed to help facilitate online learning, including Sakai, Voicethread, and Google Drive.
Using Omeka to Foster Digital Literacy in the First Year Seminar,
Chelcie Rowell, Digital Initiatives Librarian
Monique O'Connell and I showcased two collaborative digital projects to which students contributed as part of their work for the first year seminars Nature, Environments, & Place in American Thought and The Floating City: Public Life in Venice through the Ages. The design and implementation of both of these digital projects was a collaboration between ZSR and History Department faculty. One outcome of these course digital projects was a rise in the quality of student writing when it was publicly engaged. Another outcome was students' greater awareness of the affordances of different technologies — that a particular tool, software, or platform can either facilitate or constrain a particular scholarly or rhetorical purpose.
Flipping LIB210: An Instructional Designer, Sakai, and VoiceThread and
Chromebooks For WAB: Boots on the Ground, Software in the Cloud,
Hu Womack, Instruction & Outreach Librarian
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to present the result of two STEP Grants at TechXploration 2015. I teamed up with Thomas Dowling, our Director of Technologies at ZSR on first STEP grant that purchased eleven Lenovo Chromebooks for the students participating in the Wake Alternative Spring Break 2015 to Washington DC exploring food security. The students used the Chromebooks throughout the week-long trip to post reflections via Tumblr and to stay connected via Google Tools. For the second STEP grant, I teamed up with Instructional Designed and ITG, Sarah McCorkle to flip my LIB210 class. The process of "flipping" allowed me to lecture less and create authentic exercises in class where students could demonstrate mastery of the material! Both grants were successful and allowed me the resources required for projects I could not have accomplished on my own. I enjoyed the opportunity to tell the story of these two grants at TechXploration 2015!

NFL Hall of Fame legend Mike Ditka doesn't mince words.
During an interview on WABC Radio's "Bernie & Sid Show" Thursday, the former Chicago Bears coach didn't hold back his disdain for both former President Barack Obama and San Francisco 49er's quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
They're both losers. But President Donald Trump is a different story altogether.
Ditka was asked about sports journalists who try to get New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to turn his back on his friend Donald Trump.
"I think these people are — can I say this? — that they're a**holes," Ditka said.
Starbucks can hire all the refugees it wants, its competition vowed to hire 10 thousand veterans
He added that those protesting the new president should give Trump a chance and let him do his job.
"If he can screw it up half as much as Obama, I'll be surprised," Ditka said.
Later into the interview, Ditka gave this assessment of Obama.
"No leadership at all — none zero," he said of Obama, reiterating a statement he made last year that he considered him the "worst president ever."
Ditka also addressed Kaepernick, who's claim to fame is taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem.
"(H)e'd be a complete unknown without the game of football… And not to respect that, you've got to be a pretty unintelligent person, I would think."
Ditka's last year of coaching was in 1999 with the New Orleans Saints. But had he been coaching today and one of his players took a knee, that player would be done.
If you thought Lady Gaga wouldn't politicize the Super Bowl halftime show, you were sadly mistaken
"He doesn't play for me ever again," Ditka said.

LA Giltinis signed Christian Poidevin for the 2021 Major League Rugby season. The 22-year-old back-row is 6'1″ and 216 lbs.
Christian is from Coogee, New South Wales, Australia, and attended Newington College, where he played rugby. He was introduced to rugby at an early age, as his father Simon, had 59 caps for Australia, won the Rugby World Cup in 1991, and was the team's captain.
Christian was the Randwick Colts 1st grade captain in 2018, and he was honored with the Best & Fairest Award as the competition's best played with the Colts going undefeated.
During the 2019 season he started in 16 matches for Randwick in the Shute Shield, and also played in one match for the Sydney Rays in the National Rugby Championship. In 2020 he also played four times for the Sydney Rays, and had 11 starts for Randwick in the Shute Shield. Christian also gained experience playing against Argentina in Randwick's loss in 2019.
Christian continued his education after leaving Newinton College and this year earned a Bachelor's Degree from the University of New South Wales.
LA Giltinis Comments
"What has really dragged me to this is the amazing opportunity of the LA experience to play in an awesome program with top coaches like Darren Coleman and Stephen Hoiles," Poidevin said.
"There's so much knowledge in the coaches and playing group to improve my rugby.
"Training full-time for the first time means I can get my body to the next level with (Head of Performance) Mick Stephen, whose done strength-and-conditioning at my club Randwick and the NSW Waratahs Academy.
"Out of all the destinations I could choose in MLR, Los Angeles would be top of my list.
"There's a winning culture for sports teams in LA and we want to add our own stamp to that in rugby with a new club."
Poidevin is a mobile 6'1' (1.85m), 216lb (98kg) flanker with well-rounded skills and loves playing the attacking style that the Giltinis plan to thrill new rugby fans with.
The chance with the Giltinis comes at an ideal time with Poidevin completing a civil engineering degree at the University of NSW in Sydney.
His father gave a strong thumbs-up to develop his rugby with the Giltinis where young Poidevin has an instant connection with lock recruit Nathan Den Hoedt, his 2020 Randwick captain.
"As a rugby player, Dad's work ethic was second to none and he had a big attitude which meant always putting in for the bloke beside you," Poidevin said.
"If he had to do something, he'd do it 100 per cent, not half-arse it, and that is something I want people to see in the way I play.
"There is already a good culture building at the Giltinis amongst players from around the world and that's just through our online group chats."
Hoiles has followed Poidevin's rise from his standout year with Randwick's 2018 Colts team. "Christian is coming off an outstanding club season with Randwick and joining a professional program will further bring out his strong features…carrying really well through contact and good on-ball work," Hoiles said."He's grown up with the surname of a famous father but Christian is becoming a serious player in his own right."

Did you notice Alex Reynolds scary moment during Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite?
Reynolds and John Silver, The Young Bucks, Private Party along with The Butcher, and The Blade were the main events in a four-way tag match to determine the challengers to the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Full Gear against FTR.
Private Party hit a splash/leg drop combo spot off the top rope and knocked Reynolds out. He laid unconscious in the ring for several seconds while the other wrestlers worked around him. The Blade eventually dragged him to the corner and tagged himself in.
Reynolds took to social media today and provided an update on how he's doing:
"Hey guys, just wanted to thank you for all the concerns for my health. It means the world to me. I truly believe the ref and our doctor handled the situation great on Wednesday's show. Injuries happen in wrestling, but I feel completely safe with our team here. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon."
Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me. I really appreciate it. pic.twitter.com/uuM87KhiQF— Alex Reynolds (@YTAlexReynolds) October 23, 2020
After the match, Reynolds was checked out and able to walk to the back under his own power.
The Young Bucks won the match and will now face FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) at AEW Full Gear.

More About Ali Baba
Ali Baba, christened Atunyota Alleluya Akporobomerere was born in Warri, Delta State, on June 24th 1965 to the Royal Family of Agbarha Otor, Ughelli North Local Government Area. The first son after several girls. He spent the first 8 years of his life in Warri.
His father is a retired soldier who served in Lagos. Schooling therefore was at Ojo Primary School and Command Secondary School both in Lagos.
He furthered his education at Ibru College in Agbarha-Otor and then went on to the now rested Bendel State University now known as the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma where he read Religious Studies & Philosophy.
After acquiring a degree from the then Bendel State University, Ekpoma in 1990, he relocated to Lagos, having discovered his comic talent and funny bone in his 3rd Year in University. He had planned to return to Ekpoma to read Law but that was not to be, since he discovered he could make more money from making people laugh than defending them!.
He began his professional career with corporate events, appearing on television shows with the likes of Patrick Doyle, Charly Boy and Danladi Bako. He also made cameo appearances on radio shows with Bisi Olatilo, Sani Irabor and Mani Onumonmu. He also worked briefly with Dapo Adelegan of DP Lekki Limited as executive assistant in 1991.
He had made up his mind that he was going to do everything to enhance himself, improve his skill and the service he offered in other words be professional. However at the time there was hardly any precedent to follow because the funny men then were not into stand up comedy. Patrick Doyle, John Chukwu, Bisi Olatilo, Femi Segun, Femi Jarret, Leo Onwudi, Smart Otemu, Tony St. Iyke and many more were funny, very funny but did not do full time comedy.
Through guts, sacrifice and creative dynamism, Ali Baba carved a niche for himself as a comedian for both corporate and non-corporate events. In less than 4 years, he had also become the preferred Master of Ceremony at some events. Ali Baba made the rules, broke them and sometimes even discarded them depending on how effective they were. These days no event is considered complete without a Comedian to MC that event.
In 1993, he registered his company Alibaba Hicuppuray 3rd and from then on his focus was on ensuring that the perception of comedians being 'ne'er do wells' changed and instead is seen as a profession and a respected way of life.
In 1998, he hired billboards in strategic parts of Lagos Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island; Osborne Road, Ikoyi and the Marina paying for two years. The message was simple and one he has come to be known by 'Being Funny is Serious Business'.
Ali Baba, has lived with the philosophy that his business is big enough for all who want to make their chosen profession. As such, he has supported, mentored and presented several comedians helping to ensure that standards are maintained and professionalism encouraged.
It is no longer strange to hear a comedian charge impressive fees for events. The industry, yes, the Comedy Industry though yet to be standardized, is growing fast and strong to the credit of the God Father of Comedy.
He has been a professional stand up comedian for the past 22 years and has in the last 13 years received several awards.

If you've experienced a personal injury in Florida and have not received sufficient compensation for your injuries and losses, it's critical to collect as much evidence as possible to support your position. The stronger the evidence, the stronger your case and the greater your chances of just and fair restitution for the harm you've experienced.
Try to collect as much evidence as you can, but don't wait until you think you've collected enough before you talk to an attorney. I know from my years of experience as a personal injury lawyer in Florida the kinds of evidence I will need in order to build a powerful case for you.

Love this idea. I was actually planning on doing something like this for my office at work. This will be a great help. Thanks!!!
This customized cubbie is great – included it in a recent post on organizing for back-to-school: http://simplifiedbee.blogspot.com/2010/08/getting-organized-for-back-to-school.html
This idea is absolutely adorable, but in a way is sophisticated. It could even be given to a teacher as a welcome to the new school year gift on the first day, or a thank you for being my teacher gift on the last day.

Lions' Armonty Bryant suspended four games for drug policy violation
Detroit Lions pass rusher Armonty Bryant suspended for once again violating league's substance abuse policy.
Detroit Lions defensive end Armonty Bryant is in trouble again. Tuesday, the Lions announced that Bryant will be suspended without pay four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
For the Lions and Bryant, this is a familiar feeling. The Detroit pass rusher was suspended twice last season for NFL policy violations. He was suspended the first four games for performance-enhancing drugs and another three games for drugs of abuse.
Bryant will miss the first four game of the season. The Lions open up their campaign at home against the Arizona Cardinals before facing the Giants, Falcons, and Vikings. He'll he eligible to return on Oct. 2, prior to an Oct. 8 showdown with the Carolina Panthers.
He'll be available to participate in all preseason games.
Bryant, 27, was picked up by the Lions on waivers last year after being released by the Cleveland Browns. His season ended in December when he suffered a knee injury. Prior to the injury, Bryant recorded five tackles, three sacks,
and a forced fumble in his five games with Detroit.
The Browns selected Bryant in the seventh round of the 2013 draft. During his four-year career, Bryant has amassed 68 tackles with 11.5 sacks.
If his troubles in the NFL weren't enough, Bryant has a drug history off the field as well. He pleaded no contest in 2012 after being arrested for selling marijuana in the parking lot. He is currently still on probation for that charge.
In Feb. 2016, Bryant was indicted on two felony drug possession charges stemming from a Dec. 2015 arrest when cops found Oxycodone and Adderall during a traffic stop.
Next: Every NFL team's greatest moment of all-time
It might be premature to call this the end of Bryant's NFL career, but his limited production and constant off-the-field issues won't keep him in the league for long.

The film follows a group of everyday heroes who aim to give voice to permaculture ("the quiet revolution") in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T)
Erle "the crazy runner" is a farmer, an adventure racer and barefoot ultra marathoner, and now a major advocate for Permaculture in T&T. He was raised in non-farming African and Canadian urban settings, with no prior knowledge of the Caribbean landscape. Armed only with an old photocopy of a permaculture ("permanent agriculture/ culture") manual, Erle set out to regenerate the land. Against a land history of fire damage, herbicide and pesticide use, his permaculture farm, Wa Samaki Ecosystems, is a hub for ecological farming and learning.
'Quiet Revolution' is a portrait of the community at Wa Samaki and their lifelong efforts to learn and practice permaculture amidst the dominant culture of conventional agriculture. The film is timely in that it was completed days before the passing of permaculture founder, Bill Mollison, whose wisdom punctuates the film.Show Less

Just how stupid do the Tories think we are?
Sense or vision of my late dad?
Cup overspill, lumps and bumps... Bras can be tricky to get right. Luckily, we've got blogger Josephine from Chic At Any Age on hand to give us the low down on fitting and buying the best bra for you.
A well-fitting bra can help you to look younger and slimmer. How easy it is to spend our money on a great jacket, pretty dress or gorgeous silk top, while somehow it often seems difficult to spend money on a well-fitting everyday bra that is unlikely to see the light of day.
Yet it is one of the most important purchases we can make. Not only will a well-fitting bra support our breasts and contribute to breast health but will also act as an excellent framework allowing our clothes to drape correctly.
It may be that you suit a balcony or a plunge shape, or that you need padded rather than non-padded. But no matter what suits you, every woman can create a smoother, slimmer silhouette simply by investing in the right bra in the right size.
You'll instantly smooth over any lumps and bumps that can be created by ill-fitting underwear, but most importantly your posture will improve, making you appear taller and slimmer.
If you go shopping with a rough idea of your size, you'll know where to start before you head into the changing rooms. It's always worth checking with an assistant, but knowing your basics can speed up the process.
Measuring is by no means a scientific process, as it doesn't take into account your personal shape so my best advice is don't measure yourself, go to a good measuring service and get it done properly. There is no obligation to buy their bras, and you will end up with a far better fit than basing it on your own mathematical equasions!
If you really, really want to try to measure yourself, John Lewis offer a good video to get you started.
A rush and grab in the nearest department store is not the ideal way to buy a bra, even if we have taken our measurements beforehand. Personally I find that self measurements are only a guideline and that the ideal way to ensure that your bra fits perfectly is to schedule some time and have a proper fitting. A professional fitter will have a trained eye and will know what styles will suit you best.
Most lingerie retailers and department stores across the country have trained bra fitters who will spend time understanding your needs and choosing the perfect bra for you. Put your trust in them and I promise the result will be a fabulous silhouette that you'll be happy to show off. Rigby & Peller have some fabulous bras and, in my opinion, offer the best fitting service.
Be open minded when choosing a new bra - you may be surprised that a style you had previously ignored is perfect for you.
Moulded bras make you look bigger than non-padded ones. This simply isn't true. They will, however, give you a more rounded shape. Try one - you could be very pleased with the result!
The back should be comfortable. Sadly ladies, it should be as tight as possible! Especially when you first try a bra, as it will give over time with washing and wearing. This is vital to give you the correct support. Don't be tempted to go up a back size for comfort - if your bras all fasten on the tightest hook and ride up your back, you certainly need to try a size smaller.
Strapless bras don't work on fuller-busted ladies. Many brands now do a fabulous selection of comfortable and supportive strapless bras that will give you confidence whatever you're wearing.
All bras fit the same. Sadly not! They vary hugely depending on brand, style and material, so you should always try them on before buying. Your size can be different depending on the brand, so don't worry about having a drawer full of different sizes, as long as they all fit correctly.
Only non-wired bras are comfortable. For women that have spent their lives wearing non-wired it's understandable to be wary. However, brands are now working specifically on making their wired bras as comfortable as possible, and they'll stay in place all day.
It's very easy to get stuck in an underwear rut. If one style feels comfy, that's great - stick with it. But variety is the space of life, don't forget, and there will be other styles out there that are comfy too.
