Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Smooth Operator Do-Si-Dos®
Posted by Jessie Oleson from cakespy.com
The cellophane-wrapped version has nothing on these delightful sandwich cookies. They start with easy drop cookies featuring Smooth Operator peanut butter and a generous helping of oats, which come together quickly and boast a delicious, salty-sweet, nutty flavor. While the cookies are good enough to eat as-is, they get even better (and become downright addictive) when sandwiched together with a rich, lightly salted Smooth Operator buttercream.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes, plus cooling time for the cookies
Yield: About 18 sandwiches (36 cookies)
For the cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cook style oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup Peanut Butter and Co. Smooth Operator peanut butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the filling
1 1/4 cup Peanut Butter and Co. Smooth Operator peanut butter (the remainder of the jar)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Position two racks in the middle position of your oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set to the side.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Set to the side.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and Smooth Operator Peanut Butter, mixing until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Add both types of sugar, and mix until incorporated, fluffy, and cohesive.
4. Pause mixing. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating slowly to incorporate in the dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla; mix until incorporated. Pause mixing.
5. In 2-3 additions, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix slowly after each addition, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Once you've added the last bit, only mix until the dry mixture has been incorporated and no floury streaks remain. Do not overmix. The dough will be fairly thick but still pretty easy to work with, like a chocolate chip cookie dough.
6. Drop the dough in rounded tablespoonfuls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch and a half between rounds (to allow for spreading). Note: While you probably could bake all of the cookies between two sheets, I like to do them in three batches, with about 12 cookies per sheet, to reduce any chance of the cookies spreading into each other. If you only have two sheets (like I do), you can bake two batches of 12 cookies each, let the sheets cool, and then re-use one of the sheets to use the remaining cookie dough.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden on the sides, and matte in appearance on the tops. The cookies will be somewhat puffy. Remove the sheets from the oven. Now, for the most traditional Do-Si-Do® look, very gently flatten the puffed-up cookie tops using the back of a spatula while they are still quite hot. You don't have to do this part if you prefer the puffier cookies, but they will look more like mini whoopie pies if you don't.
8. Let the cookies cool on the sheets until solid enough to transfer using a metal spatula. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
9. When the cookies are nearly cooled, prepare the filling. Combine the remainder of the jar of Smooth Operator Peanut Butter (about 1 1/4 cups, but if this varies slightly it's fine) and the remaining filling ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low at first, and then once the sugar is moistened, increase the speed to high. Mix vigorously until the filling is creamy and totally combined. The consistency should be fairly thick, but easily spreadable. If it is too thin for your liking, add a little more confectioners' sugar.
10. Pair up similarly-sized cookies to create your sandwiches. Spread a healthy dollop (1 heaping teaspoon) on top of the flat bottom of one of the cookies; place a similarly-sized cookie on top, flat side down, to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies. The filling recipe is fairly generous in quantity, so you don't have to be shy about the filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These cookies freeze well, too; store in the freezer, in an airtight container, for up to 1 month. Let thaw before serving.
This recipe was independently commissioned and recipe-tested by Peanut Butter & Co. Do-Si-Dos is a registered trademark of Girls Scouts of the United States of America.

S.S. "Records is pleased to present the first vinyl edition of the FM-BX Society Tape 001. Originally released in 1981 only on cassette, with a limited run of 200, FM-BX 001 was the first in a series of compilation tapes released by the staff of a radio station in Brussels, Belgium. Needless to say, not many tapes made it around, and very few survive today. I'd say that is a shame but with this vinyl release, the word will get out about the bands on this tape, albeit a few decades after its initial release!
FM-BX 001 features three bands, two from Belgium, one from Scotland. The Belgium bands are Isolation Ward and Unit 4. Isolation Ward are known in underground synth collector circles, as they had a bit of a run after their debut on this release. Bleak and futuristic, Isolation Ward fuse post punk with early 80s synth sounds and a DIY approach.
The stars of FM-BX are the all-woman foursome Unit 4. Little is known about the band or their current whereabouts. No problem because their music is all you need to tell you that they had something special going. By their sound, the influences are obvious: Kleenex, Delta 5, and the
Raincoats all reverberate here though less "slick" than any of those bands. Unit 4's aesthetics are more akin to the Petticoats and, at times, the Shaggs. Fans of current day lady singers Titmachine and the Dead Clodettes will dig. This is truly wonderful punk rock.
From Scotland comes the Topplers. If the name sounds familiar, it is doubtful that it is because of the band. One of the Topplers is a guy named Allan Henry, who runs the excellent DIY label Topplers Records. In fact, it is Allan who turned me on to FM-BX to begin with. His band The Topplers? Great stuff. Teens with an ear towards the TV Personalities, The Times, and Subway Sect. They only existed for a couple years but wound up on this tape and, as a result, with an opening slot for Golden Earing! These are the only recordings that exist. Had they come out at the time on a 7"s, I have no doubt DIY collectors would be fighting over copies." (S.S. Records)
Yeah, the Unit 4 tracks are truly on-point. Been bopping around the kitchen all morning to 'em. This reissue was pressed in a vinyl edition of 500.

This book was recommended via an RSA Animate on time that I throughly enjoyed so I thought I'd get the book and delve into the topic in more detail.
My feelings on the book are a little mixed. Some of the concepts and ideas that he raised were fascinating: the differences between cultures who lived on 'monochronic' time (who focus on one task at a time) and those that are 'polychronic' (and like to circulate round several tasks at once), and how the two approaches, if they can be brought together, can complement each other. He had also carried out some interesting research into the speed at which life is lived in different cities around the world, and in different American cities. Whilst the results of these were not unexpected they threw up some interesting results, for example, in faster cities the few people who would stop to perform helping acts – picking up a dropped pen, posting a dropped letter – tended to do it less civilly than in their slower paced counterparts. The book also raised interesting questions about the results of this work in understanding low achievement patterns: research has found that the children of low-income black adolescent mothers living in impoverished pockets of Chicago are found to be entirely present orientated, and that these children face real temporal barriers when they enter school, unable to understand why you need to do things at particular times and need to stop doing others when you were enjoying them, and as a result becoming increasingly frustrated and isolated.
However, I did have some issues with this book. Whilst the first edition was published in 1997 it didn't seem to have been updated at all for the second, 2006, edition – references to research that would have been old in 1997 (from the 80s and 70s, and occasionally the 60s) had not been updated or added to by more recent sources – for example, discussions about Saddam Hussein were limited to the first Iraq war. In addition, Levine seems to rely a little too heavily on outdated models of human behaviour. He discusses Type A and B behaviour types with no mention of the criticisms of this model and argues that type As are drawn to 'fast' cities that then make these individuals stressed and more likely to smoke, and therefore suffer from coronary heart disease. But even if the type A link to heart disease is taken uncritically there is no need to add the link to temporal factors. In fact, later on Levine argues that type As may be more comfortable in fast paced cities, as they can become stressed by a laid back pace of life.
So, overall, whilst this book contains some interesting research, anecdotes and theories it is not to be swallowed without criticism – some of the research if very old and the theories put forward do not always stand up to closer scrutiny. But it's still an interesting book that could help us live more comfortably and productively with those who live life at a different pace to us.

Website design in the West Midlands has changed in the 11 years Clickingmad has been designing and building websites in Shropshire. In 2000 website design was provided by a few companies in London, Birmingham and other major conurbations but the bandwagon had yet to form.
Universities had yet to provide adequate training on the subject as most of it was yet to be written down in an educational format. There were though some printers and print designers who thought the transition into web provision would be easy. I think it's safe to say they had a rude awakening.
Clickingmad are web and will always be web, it's in our blood, our DNA and we still talk about it with such passion as to make you think we are all geeks.
When we started designing websites for Shropshire and the West Midlands we initially thought we would see ourselves naturally restricted to those areas as that's where we were based. How wrong could I be?
Over the past 11 years, even though we set our stall out as "Website Designers Midlands" or "Website Designers West Midlands", or even "Website Designers Shropshire". We get more calls from firms in the South East of England than anywhere else.
Now why would this be? Ok, we are probably amongst the most technically advanced in our sector, the sector being Open Source Content Management Systems, i.e. no license fees and a massive technical community to tap into. Thus providing the client with a vast selection of functionality without the massive outlay. This though does not explain why the business enquiries we get are mainly from the lower part of the UK. If someone knows, please tell me!
We sometime run Google Adwords campaigns to drive local traffic to our website, something that, if done well, can pay big dividends, but can also waste a lot of your money if you are not very careful. The phrases we go for are; Website Design West Midlands, Website Design Wolverhampton, Website Design Dudley, the latter two are close enough conurbations to have plenty of businesses in their respective areas and are also within an easy 30 minutes of our Head Office in Bridgnorth Shropshire.
We are soon to expand our operations physically into Birmingham, so I will be looking for Google to provide us traffic under terms of "Website Design Birmingham, "Birmingham Website Design" and perhaps others such as "Ecommerce Birmingham" and "SEO Birmingham", two other passions we have.
When I thought about writing an article that discussed our business focus I wanted to discuss the validity and the point about blogging, I wanted to demonstrate the power of the medium to the sceptics. That said, if you consider all the other methods of promotion that the web offers, I reckon blogging to be the most useful and for me, easy to do, given of course, the time.
To blog, is to discourse, to illuminate, to ruminate and to expand on often pretty boring subjects that once explained, would hopefully become more relevant to the business community at large.

That last area was in play in July 2008, when e-mail users experienced the onset of a virus spread through messages purporting to come from the United Parcel Service (UPS) parcel delivery company. The bogus messages informed users about packages they had supposedly sent that could not be delivered due to incorrect recipient addresses and invited them to open and print out attached invoices in order to claim the undelivered packages at UPS offices. The messages included a file attachment called 'ups_invoice.zip' which actually harbored a malicious executable file called 'ups_invoice.exe', but the attachment displayed a Microsoft Word icon to make it appear like a harmless Word document and thereby lure recipients into clicking on it.

text: Chatting with Alex about comics lately reminded me of this web comic from a few years back, which I hadn't looked at in a long time. When I Am King uses graphical storytelling in some of the best (and absurd) ways I've ever seen, especially on the web. It's well worth a look if you haven't seen it, and a repeat-viewing if you have. The storyline (if you can call it that) ended a while ago, but there is a promise on the site for, "new stuff and other important changes coming in august 2003." Whee!

I had my birthday on Sunday, at home with my parents in Colorado Springs. I saw our family dog, a chocolate lab named Abby, and my brother has a chocolate lab/German short hared pointer mix. It's very good to have family members that have dogs, because I don't have to get one!
For my birthday, I cooked breakfast, dinner, and dessert. and my mom said "we've spent all day in the kitchen!" which is fine with me, because I love cooking! I got a Cuisinart, the Snitten Kitchen cookbook for my birthday, and dad printed one of my photos that I can hang in my apartment. It was good to be at home and just relax for my birthday, and not feel like there was anything I had to do.
My mom and I made blueberry oatmeal yogurt pancakes for my birthday (recipe here) and they were so delicious. Since we ate enough at breakfast, we didn't need lunch, and we grilled pizza for dinner. I found a recipe for pizza online, and it called for pesto as a topping, and I knew we had homemade pesto because we grow our own basil plants in the backyard, and we just made up the other ingredients- chicken, red onion, and mini bell peppers, and we sprinkled some cheese on top. Since my dad is an "expert" at grilling, I always try to make him grill at home. The pizza turned out great, and there are leftovers that we'll have for lunch!!
We also made dessert for after dinner. I found this coconut cake recipe, and thought I'd give it a whirl. But it didn't turn out (in any way) like the pictures said it would. It was a lot of hard work, though, so it's a bummer that it didn't come out the way I hoped. Oh well, it was still delicious.
My birthday went well; thanks for asking!! And I have a lot to be thankful for ever since my injury. Like I said in the last post, going through something like this makes you really appreciate what you do have. So while I don't have a dog, there are a lot of things that are going in the right direction.

The Raid
At 1pm on Thursday, January 4th, both the retail storefront and thewholesale office of Hemp BC were raided by Vancouver police. They wereacting on a search warrant issued on the grounds of possession of marijuanawith intent to traffic. This was in reference to the Hemp BC cannabis seedselling operation.
The police occupied the store until about 4 or 5pm, and cleared it out ofbongs, pipes, herbal bliss, mushroom kits, germinable seeds, rolling papersand a selection of hemp clothing and books.
The Hemp BC wholesale office, which is also the Cannabis Canada magazineand website office, was occupied and searched by Vancouver police officersuntil about 8pm. All of the above mentioned goods were seized, as well ascomputer disks containing past issues of Cannabis Canada.
Marc Emery, owner of Hemp BC and publisher of Cannabis Canada, was arrestedand led from his office in handcuffs. The store manager and two employeeswere also arrested, handcuffed, and taken to jail in the paddy wagon. Theywere held until about midnight, a total of eleven and a half hours.
Records & Invoices
Despite our fears our computers were not seized. Hemp BC destroys allinvoices and purchase records more than a month old. Our logbook does notlist the items purchased, and only lists customers by name and city.However, some invoices were in the office at the time of the raid, and theywere removed by police.
If you ordered from us in the past week and are concerned about possiblepolice hrassement, call Marc Emery and he will be able to tell you if thepolice took your invoice. We take all possible precautions with names andrecords while still trying to run a business. We don't expect police tohunt down those who have made purchases from us, but we will assist anyonewho is adversly affected by this in any way we can.
Spontaneous Public support
Emptying out the Hemp BC wholesale & mail order department required atleast four unmarked police cars and a huge Budget Rent-a-truck. Anotherfour marked police cars were successively brought in as a crowd of aboutforty people gathered downstairs of the Water Street office. Although thecrowd was peaceful, there was up to six uniformed officers guarding thefront entranceway at any one time.
The crowd chanted and drummed and politely told the police that they werefascist pawns, while the cops alternately smiled and aggressively removedpeople from their way, unloading box after box of our products into theBudget truck.
Business as usual
The Hemp BC retail storefront opened the next day, selling pipes and bongsas usual. The store was not fully stocked, but we have been well supportedby other hemp stores and manufacturers, and expect to be fully stockedsoon.
Destructive Police Action
Hemp BC employs over twenty people full time, and all of their jobs arethreatened by this invasive and unnecessary police action.
Hemp BC is also the vanguard of the Canadian hemp movement, and many hempstores across Canada rely on Hemp BC to supply them with stock andmerchandise. This growing network of hemp stores is acting to revitalizethe Canadian economy and employ more Canadians in meaningful and productivework. It should not be attacked by arbitrary, invasive, and destructivepolice action.
Pattern of Harassment
This police raid is part of a pattern of increased police harassment ofhemp stores in Vancouver.
Bill C-7
These capricious attacks by police mirror the intolerant prohibitionistattitude of Bill C-7, which was surreptitiously passed by Parliament on theday of the Quebec referendum. Bill C-7 is presently being examined by theSenate.
This kind of vicious police harassment is just the beginning of thetreatment Cannabis Canadians can expect if Bill C-7 becomes law. We cannotafford to tolerate this kind of oppression.
Grasstown Police Riot
These police actions also echo "Operation Dustbin", a municipalzero-tolerance policy which has its 25th anniversary this year. Ananti-prohibitionist demonstration by concerned citizens resulted in the"Grasstown Police Riot" of August 1971, in which Vancouver police ran amockand beat many peaceful residents and tourists.
Marijuana is Good. Prohibition is wrong.
Canadians must no longer tolerate these attacks upon peaceful citizens whouse marijuana. All Canadians must demand the immediate ending of allgovernment persecution of cannabis users.
The Canadian cannabis community is peaceful, with a vibrant culture thathas managed to thrive despite decades of relentless persecution. We willpersist in breaking these unjust laws until they are acknowledged as beingvicious bigotry and are completely removed.
Updates & CClist
We will be providing updates to this website as often as possible. Pleasecheck here often for more information.
We have a mailing list with information about Bill C-7 and other recentevents at Hemp BC. To subscribe, send an email with the word "subscribe" assubject to [email protected] The mailing list is confidential andencryptedand police should not be able to access it.
Let your voice be heard
It is very important that the police and the politicians know that thiskind of behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. They mustcontinue to be deluged with calls over the weeks to come.
You can call the Vancouver police to voice your opinion about the raid at:(604) 665-3081.
You can call Hedy Fry, MP for Vancouver Centre (where Hemp BC is located)at: (604) 666-0135. She can be faxed at: (604) 666-0114.
We also have a letter that you should fax to Hedy Fry.

I need to take more pictures to do a proper post but I'll sum it up in a few bullet points for now.
- The Toronto meet up was awesome - need to take pictures of my purchases prior to going into more details on that.
- A week in Mexico was just what I needed.
- Weather was good, resort was fantastic, friends were great (picture above courtesy of friends who were more organized than us and already put pictures up on Facebook).
- I really should make a dress similar to that one, Mr. Lina is a fan and I feel quite sexy in it.
- I don't understand why no one is bringing me margaritas on the rocks, I have my pesos ready for tipping but they don't show up at my desk.
- My hair goes wavy in Mexico, I miss those curls, it's so much easier to pull my hair up and look pretty, now it just looks boring.
- My manager quit while I was away, next Thursday is his last day.
- I will miss him but I understand his choice to move on.
- You know I don't think I'm good for managers. Not one of the 6 managers I've had over 7 years still work for my employer.
- I've come back to more things being put on my plate, not so much work for me to do, but as the person who needs to know what's going on when he's gone.
- And it's all up in the air as to what's going to be done to fill his role, it won't be me directly (way too much of a sales role for my personality), but it might shift what the department needs from me.
- And did I mention that I have had to make my own breakfast? There is no buffet of food waiting for me in the kitchen.
- Life after all inclusive resorts is hard. ;)
We get amazing artists through Home Routes. One of our previous concerts, Annabelle Chvostek, is nominated for a Juno (the Canadian version of the Grammies) for her album Rise. So very cool. But, this week it's The Sweet Lowdown from Victoria BC.

Like Shaun White in pipe, most riders are playing catch-up with Mark as they try to put together a run as technical and consistent as his. Mark thrives under pressure and with rail tricks as difficult as his jumps, he's the one to beat. Potential Downfall: Mark broke his rib after hanging up on a rail during his 2014 X Games slopestyle run just two weeks before the Olympics. He's still planning to ride at Sochi, but that injury could hold him back. Fellow Canadian Max Parrot is also proving to be a new threat to Mark with his back-to-back triple corks. @MARKMCMORRIS

Hospital staff who helped a trust become one of the best in the country were rewarded… with a 60p KitKat.
About 4,000 workers were sent a voucher for a large chocolate bar with their payslips as part of a 'package of thanks'.
But staff said they felt 'insulted' after their dedication and long hours helped win at the Health Service Journal awards – while management were treated to a slap-up meal.
GMB union branch secretary Paul Raybould said he had received about 30 complaints from angry staff at Torbay Hospital in Torquay, Devon.
'If I had given 20 years of service, I know exactly what I would want management to do with their KitKat,' he said.
'The idea of management enjoying a freebie while staff get a 60p KitKat voucher which can only be redeemed in the hospital restaurant is a real slap in the face.'
Chief executive Paula Vasco-Knight said the gift was 'misinterpreted' and apologised to those who were offended.
She claimed she had received hundreds of thank you emails from staff and had paid for the gifts with donations.
'I will think of other ways of thanking staff,' she said.

Then she returned to University of Kentucky Law School for her JD. Right out of law school, she began as a litigator for a law firm in Houston, Texas. In 1977, she returned to Lexington to practice law, and in 2003 became the Chief Bar Counsel for the Kentucky Bar Association, an office responsible for investigating ethics complaints against Kentucky lawyers. As Bar Counsel, Dr. Gosnell led the disbarment proceedings against Stanley Chesley, 4 other lawyers, and the sitting judge in the case, all of whom had organized the theft of about half the $200 million Kentucky fen-phen class-action settlement money. Despite the prominence of the defendants, all were successfully removed from the practice of law.
Now at EKU, Dr. Gosnell focusses on teaching Litigation, Introduction to Law, and Legal Research and Writing (making use of the Jesuit education). In all of her classes, she emphasizes the ethical principles of the law and legal system. In addition to her years of experience, she also brings the practitioner's eye to the class, teaching and grading students as they would be evaluated by practicing attorneys. As a lawyer in Lexington and counsel for the Bar, Dr. Gosnell has worked with many EKU paralegals, and knows what her students will need once they leave the classroom.
Dr. Gosnell says that students should get used to telling people what they are capable of doing. Paralegals especially are broadly trained and not everyone –not even all lawyers –knows the full extent of what an EKU paralegal can do. The same is true for all the Department of Government graduates. Students should get the best training and skills they can, and then let their future employers know about it. Students won't be appreciated if no one knows their quality.
She also says that paralegal students should know that there is a big push in the legal community to expand access to legal services to more people, and that means paralegals will be allowed to do more as they work in the law. There are career opportunities for students willing to go after them.

My name is Anndee and I've offered to post my AG activities as well. I hope someone can find them useful! I thought I'd start with what we have planned for next week.
Nativity Ornament-I cheated and ordered the kits from oriental trading ($9.25 for 12):
12 days of Christmas stories-
I put together these stories from The Friend. I looked for stories featuring girls. I then grabbed clip art for each story so they can color them. I made copies in the library. We'll be 3-hole punching then putting them in 3-prong clear cover folders that I had left over from a years-ago project. Thus a free project!
With left over time we'll sing Christmas Carols.
Next post will be our activity schedule for next year.

• Are available in month, day & year format as well as year date only format
• Can be mailed directly to your
home address
• Are easily installed with a phillips
screw driver
• Will complete your loved one's
bronze memorial
• Can be ordered right here by
following a few simple steps
Like automobile manufacturers, there are many manufacturers of bronze grave markers. The first step in ordering your bronze death date scroll is to determine which bronze memorial manufacturer made it. This may be difficult as some monument dealers who sold the bronze memorial are no longer in business or the cemetery may not have records of who manufactured it.
Not to worry. We'll help you find the right manufacturer for the bronze memorial and issue a quote to you for the bronze date scroll.
NOTE: Although this may seem like a tedious process it is necessary to ensure you get the exact bronze death date scroll for your loved one's bronze memorial.
Here is what we need to get you a quote for the bronze death date scroll:
Before photographing the bronze grave marker and date of death scroll, make sure the area to be photographed is fairly clean. It is also best to ensure there is plenty of light to get a good photograph. Here are a couple of sample photographs of a bronze grave marker and a close up of the bronze date of death scroll. Using a digital camera will help expedite the process as you will be able to email the photos.
It is important to accurately measure the existing bronze date scroll so we match it up with the correct death date scroll to be ordered. Please measure to the nearest 1/16th of an inch. There are 2 types of scrolls. The first is a Standard Scroll whereas the name, date of birth and date of death are cast on the scroll. The second is a Split Scroll where only the date of death will be needed.
Many standard scrolls have odd shapes and are not a perfect rectangles. It is important to measure to the widest points on the scroll. We will need the following measurements.
We will need 2 sets of measurements for the split scroll: the individual date tab and the entire scroll.
You will also need to provide measurements for the entire scroll.
When you have all the information collected, please send it in an email by clicking on the link below. We'll research which bronze manufacturer makes the bronze date of death scroll and give you a quote.
To recap here is what you will email to us for a bronze scroll quote:
Send the above information to email@example.com or by clicking on the button below.
Once we receive this information we'll research which manufacturer makes the bronze date scroll and issue a quote to you.

|A Space For Living : Grafik Farm 2013
So who made this? This...out there? No, not the lettering - it is not actually hanging around down there...I mean the city.
Architects, architects! The world will shout at you...architects, design structures and the infrastructure that facilitiate our lives. The spaces where we work, factories, offices, shops, schools, or live, detached, semi-detached, flats, town houses, hospitals ( which is a cross-over, of course, with work and live), and play, cinemas, bowling alleys, soccer stadiums ( again a cross-over with work and play), museums.
Men and women like Frank Lloyd Wright ( immortalised in the Simon and Garfunkel song So Long Frank Lloyd Wright ), Le Corbusier (Paris, whose real name was Charles-Eduoard Jeanneret Gris - hasn't got quite the same ring to it), Charles Rennie McIntosh, the contemporary and very fashionable Zaha Hadid, the futuristic Frank Gehry (a Canadian-American architect who built Bilbao's Guggenheim museum) and Peter De Maria of Southern California.
In 2006, New Jersey-born De Maria designed a two storey home from shipping containers. Describing his materials as the 'messengers of consumerism', De Maria worked in recycling mode to deliver an ecologically sound and economical alternative to modern housing. Famed for his 2007 'masterpiece', the two storey Redondo Beach House, De Maria told Dwell magazine in February 2009 :
"Some people assume that yet-to-be-invented high-tech materials and systems will be the saviors of our construction industry. New technology can be great, but some of the answers to our building challenges are right in front of us. We need to look more closely at existing materials and systems from commercial construction and other industries and ask how they might be adapted, adjusted, or recycled to meet our domestic architecture needs. It's less glamorous than creating renderings of new home designs, but we need to look at how to design efficient processes that leverage the economies of scale inherent in existing industrial components and systems." (Dwell magazine February 2009)
I must admit to being fascinated by the mere concept of living in a box, albeit an oblong shipping container (s).
I would think, however, it might also be scary! Imagine sitting watching Eastenders or Housewives of New York, mug of coffee on the arm of the armchair while your home is being lifted onto a cargo ship bound for Panama?!
'Must be windy out there tonight Mildred'. You might call out, the coffee spilling over the side of your mug as you and your home swing between harbourside and cargohold, then, and unbeknown to you, the swaying movement is toppling your wife out of the bedroom window...'Mildred? Mildred?'
But, of course, it is not only architects who build houses, bridges, roads and bring large metropolitan connurbations to life. Not only architects who build cities and bring designs for living to life.
A whole army of different workpeople are involved in the assembly and maintenance of cities. So, as well as architects, cities are put together by town planners, civil engineers, construction workers, crane operators, road workers laying down the blacktop, sewage engineers and a whole band of specialist employees often working as part of huge teams on large ongoing projects, bricklayers, joiners, plasterers, plant machinery operatives and maintenance crews.
Huge metropolitan areas need and employ people who design, re-design, engineer and re-engineer buildings and infrastructure. People who can design and build houses, offices, factories, transport systems, roads, bridges and tunnels, and maintain them as well when they experience wear and tear problems or begin to crumble or fall apart with age.
So, cities need people who design, build and maintain structures, residential homes, office blocks, schools, hospitals, shops, shopping malls, train stations, bus stations, airports. In addition urban areas need people who build, engineer and maintain telecommunications networks so that we can use our landline telephones, cell phones, laptops, desktops, tablets, fax machines and people who build, engineer and maintain our sanitary and sewerage systems, pumping stations and waste management systems. Not to forget the guys and girls who identify materials and supplies and those who operate transport to deliver.
Together, this workforce, generate and maintain the infrastructure that allows us to live and work and play within the borders of huge metropolitan areas.
I have written this in two parts and released early - because I am now about to go travelling for the next week or so and plan to release part two next Sunday - This is a mash up of a section I have prepared for Rush Hour.

Funeral Expenses
Every funeral service is uniquely different and we pride ourselves in giving each family the choices available for them to consider. The Peace family and their team have a vast knowledge and experience of the area. Understandably, you will be given the time to make decisions that create the type of funeral that represent both yours or the deceased's wishes.
A funeral service can take many forms from a simple direct service of burial or cremation, to a full service at a place of worship before.
Ultimately, funeral costs depend on the services chosen by the family and third-party costs (see disbursements)
We can help arrange a funeral to suit your financial budget and wishes.
Personalised funerals
A H Cheater have been helping bereaved families in Romsey and surrounding areas arrange dignified affordable funerals for over 100 years. With their experience and knowledge, one of our qualified funeral directors will guide you through the options available to you, as a funeral is a very personal experience.
Average funeral costs last year were £2715 (year ending May 2017) and third-party disbursements £1337
Following the arrangements, we will provide a detailed estimate of all the potential costs involved.
Professional Service Charge: Our emphasis is placed on service and this charge represents our administration throughout the funeral, including use of our facilities, all arrangements and confirmation with clergy/crematoria, statuary documentation, insertion of press announcements, receipt and care of floral tributes, maintenance of our 24 hour service, a contribution to our fixed overhead business costs and advice and guidance in all matters relating to the funeral, together with our personal attention. Afterwards we are available to offer advice on any other matter you consider we might be of further assistance.
Vehicle Charge: This represents the use of a hearse for the conveyance of the deceased and uniformed bearers, together with the provision of limousines for mourners as required. We are also able to offer a number of different specialist vehicles subject to availability (see vehicles). Please ask us for further details.
Removal Charge: This provides for our staff to convey the deceased in our specialist vehicle from the place of death to our private Chapel of Rest and may vary with the distance and time involved.
Care of the deceased: Looking after the deceased once they arrive in our care until the day of the funeral, dressing in clothes selected by the family or in the gown selected with the coffin. Included in this is the use of our Chapel of Rest for visiting, by appointment, and any preparation necessary.
The Coffin: Our clients are invited to select the type of coffin from our vast selection for either burial or cremation (see coffins)
Other Services: These include supplying printed orders of service, funeral stationary, Saturday funerals, arranging the final disposition of cremated remains in a cemetery, churchyard or other final resting place.
Disbursements are the items which the funeral director has to pay on behalf of the clients at the time of the funeral and include cremation fees, doctors' fees, church and ministers fee, floral tributes, death notices and grave digging fees (this list is not exhaustive). The costs of these items are out of the funeral directors control.
Below are examples of costs of some of the disbursements locally (as of June 2017)
|Southampton Crematorium
|Restricted times
|Wessex Vale Crematorium
|Restricted times
|Salisbury Crematorium
|Woodley Cemetery, Romsey
|£1000.00 - £2000.00
|Includes Purchase of Exclusive Right of Burial, Erection of Memorial and grave preparations. Fees vary depending on depth of grave and residence of deceased)
|Church of England Churchyards
|Local Parish Cemeteries (fees are usually double for former parish residents)
|Gravedigger costs
|Other Disbursements
|Clergy fees
|Non-religious/funeral celebrant
|Organist fee
|Doctors fee for completion of cremation certificates
|Removal of a headstone
|Burial of cremated remains
|Woodley and Botley Road Cemetery
|£250 - £1000.00
|Church of England Churchyard
Simple Funeral Service
We can offer the simple funeral service as a low-cost option. With defined service restrictions, we are able to keep our costs down while still providing a dignified funeral carried out to the highest standards.
Our fee for this service in £1995.00 and includes.
Our professional services, arrangements for the funeral, provision of a plastic lined composite board coffin for burial or cremation. Transfer of the deceased (in normal working hours and within 10-mile radius) and the provision of a hearse for conveyance direct to the local cemetery, churchyard or crematorium. Certain times and days may be excluded.
The simple funeral does not include:
- Viewing of the deceased
- Collection of donations in lieu of flowers
- Limousines for the mourners
- The funeral service taking place at any other venue before the burial or cremation
- The hearse leaving from the family home or via a prescribed route
In addition, you will need to add the cost of disbursements for the service (see disbursements) which must be paid in advance of the funeral.
Direct service (cremation or burial)
Where no service is requested and no mourners or family attend the cremation or burial, we can provide a direct service.
Our fee for this service is £1250 and includes.
- Transfer of the deceased in hours from a local address or hospital (within a 10-mile radius)
- A coffin
- A hearse and trained staff
In addition, you will need to add the cost of the appropriate disbursements, for example cremation or burial fees.
For more information regarding our disbursement costs... Click Here.
Full payment of this service, including disbursements, is requested in advance of the funeral.
Financial Help
The person who arranges the funeral and signs the estimate is legally responsible for paying for the funeral. If you are worried about how you will pay for the funeral please talk to us as we may be able to suggest ways to reduce any possible financial burden.
Payment Traditionally, payment is made from the deceased's estate. If there are sufficient funds available, an Executor of a Will or personal representative of the deceased can pass the invoice to the deceased's bank and they will settle directly to the Funeral Director. Otherwise payment can be accepted by cheque, cash BACS (bank transfer) or Credit/Debit Card.
Financial Assistance There are many sources of financial assistance which may be available to help with payment for the funeral, naturally these are depending upon individual circumstances.
Life Insurance or Funeral Plan The deceased may have made some provision in advance for their funeral, by buying either life insurance or a Funeral Plan. If they have done this, you should find documents confirming this with their personal papers.
Help from the Government – Bereavement Payment If your husband, wife or civil partner dies, you could be entitled to a one-off, tax free Bereavement Payment of up to £2,000. To qualify you need to be under State Pension age and the deceased must have paid enough National Insurance contributions. For more information see: www.gov.uk/browse/benefits/bereavement.
Pension Scheme If the person who has died was receiving a personal pension or a pension from their employer this may include provision for a payment upon their death, or provide an allowance for their next of kin. You should contact the pension provider to find out whether there is any allowance payable.
Trade Unions/Armed Services/Veterans If the deceased was a member of the armed forces, a veteran or member of a trade union, they may be able to assist towards funeral expenses.
Help from the Government – DWP Funeral Payment If you are in receipt of certain benefits, you may be able to claim a DWP Funeral Payment to help towards a funeral (Claim Form SF200) although any payment is unlikely to cover the whole funeral bill. The government will assess if it is reasonable for you to be expected to pay for the funeral and whether there are any other relatives who are able to contribute to the expenses. Calculations are based upon the applicant's ability to pay, not the financial situation of the person who has died. A claim must be made within 3 months.
The qualifying benefits are:
- Income Support.
- Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance.
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance.
- Pension Credit.
- Housing Benefit.
- The disability or severe disability element of Working Tax Credit.
- One of the extra elements of Child Tax Credit.
- Universal Credit.
You can find more information about DWP Funeral Payments at www.direct.gov.uk/benefits If you need any assistance with completing claim forms, the Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, or you can ask for an appointment at your local JobCentre Plus.Back to categories

Hi Everyone! This is the first post in a series by the admissions counselors here at Illinois Tech… we hope to give you a few insights from our end of things throughout the year 🙂
So. The application process. Most students tend to dread this part of looking at colleges… and I know. It can seem like a huge pain. But guys… this is your time to shine! I'm here to offer a few pieces of advice from the admission counselor stand point… so hopefully this helps you wade through that dreaded application.
1. The application: If you're lucky enough to apply to schools that all use the Common App- that's a win right there! Please take your time while filling this out.. the nice thing about the Common App is that you do not have to fill it out all in one go, you can save it and come back to edit later. (We'll get to editing later)
a. You know that space where you can fill in your extracurricular activities? Don't just list them… tell us what you did! Were you the President? Did you start the club? Show off a little, it's ok.
2. Letter of Recommendation: Every counselor wants to know what you're really like as a person. There are a few things you can do with a letter of rec… the first and foremost being, get a teacher to write at least one for you! We want to know about your academic abilities as well, and your teachers are our best source of information. This goes with a grain of salt… ask a teacher who you trust and have a relationship with. If they don't know your name, it won't be a great letter of rec. Then if you want to send in more (Illinois Tech accepts up to 3) you can ask a coach, a mentor, or another teacher!
3. The Essay: Why students dread this, I don't know. As a counselor I enjoy reading the essays the most! I want to get to know you and this is where I can get a glimpse into who you are as a person. So, a few tips:
a. Make it real. Counselors read these all day long. We know what's hokey and fake. Just be yourself. Write about something that's important or interesting to you. If you're really passionate about it, we'll be able to tell and we will appreciate you for it.
b. Don't turn in your first draft. I'm sure every English teacher out there has told his/her students this and it's true everyone… writing is a process. Take your time, have mom or dad read it over and make some changes. You'll be better off, I promise.
c. EDIT. Please, edit. Grammar and spelling are important, even if you're never going to write a paper about Shakespeare ever again.
Thanks for reading about the application process… as always feel free to reach out to your counselor if you ever have questions- We're here to help!
-Rebecca Foley

Playtex Sport TamponsReviewing: Playtex Sport Regular | Rating:
I don't normally buy Playtex tampons because the plastic applicator is not environmentally friendly, and they're a little more expensive than Tampax. But I received a $3.00 coupon for Playtex Sport tampons, a new product in my grocery store. So I picked up a box to try them out.
The first thing I noticed was that the "quiet, durable, easy-open wrapper" wasn't so easy to open. Now I'm long past the age of hyper self-consciousness, and I really don't care if the lady in the next stall hears the rip of paper as I open a tampon for myself. Maybe when I was 15, that would have mattered more. But this wrapper tends to stretch instead of rip, and that's not helping me get to the product I need. Don't make me get the scissors out for a lousy tampon.
The plastic applicator is odd-looking, but a very nice engineering design. Many times, I've accidentally pulled the wrong way on a tampon applicator when I'm tearing off the paper wrapper, only to have it fall apart in my hands. That's not possible with the Playtex Sport applicator design.
Now normally a tampon will maintain its cylindrical tube shape regardless of how heavy my flow is that day, and invariably, I'm going to leak. But not with the Playtex Sport tampons. These opened right up into a flower shape that caught it all. If anything, it was a little hard to pull the Playtex Sport tampon back out when it was time to change.
Playtex is currently offering a free sample of Playtex Sport tampons while supplies last and a $1 off coupon. I highly recommend trying them out. I was very pleased with this product.

I stand for a better Europe; for a European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental sustainability and citizen-led democracy.
Europe in Crisis
This crisis of European democracy urgently needs effective citizens' engagement across our continent.
We want to help citizens all over Europe to fight for a sustainable, just and democratic Europe, a Europe that values the human rights of every human being, whether a citizen of the EU or not. A Europe that takes seriously the original ideas and values of a Europe committed to peace and global solidarity.
While we disagree with many current EU policies, we believe that the EU is necessary for sustainable, just and democratic policies in many areas. However, our emphasis is not on celebrating the Union because of its theoretical merits but on addressing the very practical problems EU policies cause.
We will organise citizens' campaigns against bad decisions on the European level, no matter whether they are caused by member states, commission or parliament, and we will fight for positive change in line with our values.
Paradoxically, exactly through fierce criticism of specific policies and through addressing the European institutions directly, we affirm the importance and legitimacy of decision making on the European level.
Our campaigns will not be about a 'Yes' or 'No' to the EU. They will be about a vision for a better Europe.
Fundamentally, we believe in putting more power in the hands of the people and less in the hands of corporations and special interest groups, and we will run campaigns that further these values.
Thank you for joining our movement to make Europe a better place.
WeMove.EU is funded by donations from our community across Europe. Can you chip in to help make Europe a place of better democracy?

Sign-up today to get 5% off your first order & FREE GIFT, and a chance to win a Seasonal Affective Disorder for Dummies Guide!
The BLUElight from SAD Solutions uses blue light technology to give you a quick, safe and 100% effective light treatment. Medical CE certified to treat SAD this product has been developed based on extensive published research on the efficacy of light therapy.
The BLUElight SAD Light is simple, straightforward and very easy to use - all it takes is the press of a couple of buttons and your light therapy treatment can begin. The BLUElight SAD Light from SAD Solutions features long lasting eye-safe LEDs, full EU safety certification, adjustable brightness, clear LCD display, rechargeable battery, adjustable timer, clock, anti-glare soft light diffuser and a padded SAD Solutions carry case.
The BLUElight is ideal for those on the go, who may not have time to plug in their light, work the night shift, or travel frequently. The improved long-lasting Lithium Ion battery technology means power for up to 5 to 7 treatment sessions. Flexibility is key in the design of the BLUElight and It can also be used directly from Mains power. The BLUElight uses the latest blue light technology and is a leap forward in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorders and other Circadian Rhythm related problems such as Jet Lag, sleep disorders and problems brought about by shift working.
The BLUElight is one of the world's smallest Light Therapy products, but there has been no compromise on treatment and effectiveness, as it still boasts a full treatment time as quick as the most expensive conventional size light boxes. The SAD Solutions BLUElight uses specially designed small LED lights rather than conventional large tubes to deliver a quick, safe and effective Light Therapy treatment.
In winter there is less sunshine, so the body receives far less blue light than in summer; and indoor lighting does not contain this natural blue spectrum of light.
That is why people often suffer from lack of energy, mood swings, difficulty sleeping well and feel general more depressed in winter.
The blue LED's in SAD Solutions BLUElight emit only low intensity blue light at a specific wavelength known to be most effective in stimulating energy. Conventional light boxes emit full spectrum 10,000 LUX designed to simulate natural sunlight. Whilst these can be effective in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder, they are very bright and sometimes uncomfortable on the eyes to sit in front of it for the recommended treatment times.
The SAD Solutions BLUElight is not only more effective in a shorter time, because it emits only the blue spectrum of light that provides energy. The blue light can be at a far lower intensity than full spectrum light and therefore much kinder on the eyes. Please do not waste your money or put your health at risk and only purchase products that are backed by medical research and safety standards. SAD Solutions are a UK company that use only the very best manufacturing techniques, the highest quality components and the best designers in their mission to produce the very best SAD treatment products at affordable, realistic prices.

Germany's Metro said on Monday it was selling its Galeria Kaufhof chain to Canadian department store operator Hudson's Bay for 2.82 billion euros ($3.17 billion) including certain liabilities.
The sale includes the Galeria Kaufhof department store business in Germany and the Galeria Inno department stores in Belgium, as well as a corresponding real estate portfolio, Metro said in a statement.
Metro said it expected the sale would have a positive effect of around 700 million euros on earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) and allow it to cut net debt by about 2.7 billion euros.
Asked in a conference call about prospects for a special dividend, Metro CEO Olaf Koch said his focus was investing in new countries and paying down debt.

VENTURA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ventura Harbor-based Coastal Marine Biolabs (CMB) announced today a $1.1 million Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to launch its NeuroLab project. The 5-year pre-college research education project, which involves a collaborative team of prominent biomedical scientists, neuroinformaticians, education researchers, and science media and communications experts, engages high school students in groundbreaking research focused on nervous system development and spinal cord "hardwiring."
The SEPA award will expand the impact and scope of a successful pilot project that received initial corporate support from Edison International. According to Ralph Imondi, CMB's Executive Director, funding from NIH for project expansion was seriously delayed by a plan in 2013 to consolidate federal funding for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education into three agencies. The restructuring plan would have eliminated SEPA and similar STEM programs funded by NIH, the only federal agency that supports pre-college STEM programs focused specifically on biomedicine and public health literacy. "Rejection of the plan was an important 'win' for CMB and other organizations around the country that seek to inspire and prepare a new generation of health science innovators," said Imondi.
According to Linda Santschi, CMB's Scientific Co-Director and a primary investigator on the SEPA project, funding for NeuroLab is especially timely given the recent launch of the landmark BRAIN Initiative (short for Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies). "Stimulating student interest in emerging career opportunities for nervous system discovery and innovation will be central to the long-term success of the BRAIN initiative in revolutionizing the study of the nervous system and the treatment of nervous system disorders," said Santschi.
The new funding from NIH leverages a nearly $1 million science education innovation grant that CMB received from the National Science Foundation's Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program. Taken together, these awards represent significant milestones for CMB, which was established 8 years ago by research scientists to address science education reform. "Using rigorous evaluation, CMB measures the success of its programs by their uptake, impact on the knowledge and career aspirations of students, and ability to promote meaningful changes in STEM teaching practices in the classroom," said Imondi. "We are able to demonstrate strong indicators of program success along each of these dimensions. The challenge now is to build upon these early successes to sustain and expand the impacts of CMB's educational programs beyond a level that can be achieved through federal funding alone."

Not only will we be there but so will Rocket Originals, Heyday, Home Sweet Homestyle, and soooo many more. I know of at least 2 fabulous vintage clothes stalls which will be there and a stall selling 50s american lamps too, I know this as we're next to each other!
Anyway I wanted to remind you all about this as I have only just discovered how good these events are. We did Jukebox Madness for the first time last year on the recommendation of Mike and Jan at Home Sweet Homestyle, they said it was great. I had no idea what to expect but if they said it would be good I trust them. I was amazed! It was fantastic. I thought it would be just a jukebox fair with a few random stalls as well, actually it was more like a vintage fair with a few jukebox stalls thrown in! I could have spent a fortune there, but I was there to make money not spend it, but it was really hard not to spend!
So I wanted to remind you all about it. It really is worth a visit, and if you do and we haven't met before please pop by and say hello!
I posted about the Brighton Jukebox Fair earlier in the year here if you don't believe me about how good these things are!
Oh no, there are no pics in this post, mmmm what shall I put up, ok a little something from all the shops above!
First up, the Hibiscus Georgia Style from Rocket Originals
Next up 1940s Mary Dress in Black, this is such a cute style!
And last but certainly not least this fabulous cocktail trolley from Home Sweet Homestyle!
I struggled to choose just one thing from all these fab sites, but hey this is just a taster.
If you are in London or surrounding areas this weekend, pop to Jukebox Madness, I swear you will not regret it, but bring cash, you would regret not doing so!!!
Sorry to all those not close by, I don't usually do regional posts, but really want people to support this event as it's so much better than I thought it would be!!
I'll take video and pics, honest I will this time, we're indoors so hopefully no gale related disasters!!

Ah, the Hometown Dates. That critical step in a relationship when you say, "Let's ask my family if we should have sex next week." Ben has narrowed it down to his top four fiancées (to cry in front of), starting with (m)Amanda. She always has tissues. They meet on a beach and (m)Amanda elongates her petite frame by pulling her pirate shirt halfway down.
They are joined by her two adorable daughters, who chase seagulls with a teary Ben while (m)Amanda preps a craft for the girls involving pictures of her ex, photos of Ben's face, and glue. After a sweet game of Give The Single Mom Hope, everyone piles into a van to drive Ben back to reality. The girls fuss for water and a nap, way more responsibility than Ben bargained for. He is done playing stepdad, and will end things just as soon as he can fly (m)Amanda away from her support network.
Cut to uncomplicated Lauren B. in Portland, Somewhere: City of Roses. There are no actual roses to be seen, but that's because Lauren sent them all to JoJo. COOL GIRL WITH A FOOTBALL got eliminated weeks ago, so Lauren B. takes over the one-of-the-boys routine by eating butter out of a food truck and surprising Ben with a magnificent whiskey library. His eyes light up and even Cogsworth admits it's progress.
Little does NEW COOL GIRL know, Ben is coming from the toddler date, so all she has to do is not crap herself. This may prove challenging after all, since lunch is Ben feeding the low maintenance flight attendant spoonfuls of clotted dairy "airplane style" (get it?). She does not slap him.
Back at Lauren's house, her parents call her LoLo. Note that on JoJo's date, her family calls her Joelle. Is it nothing, or is the dumb nickname switcheroo a brilliant and subtle move by the producers to bump up Lauren B. to front runner? Note how the clip of her little brothers asking Ben for a peek in his Fantasy Suite Playbook was mercifully pushed to after the credits. In any case, Lauren's sister takes Ben aside to find out why she should trust him. She even pushes Lauren's case as the next Bachelorette, but Ben shuts down all her doubts (and the casting suggestion) with his second cry of the show, followed by an impressive cry threepeat with Lauren's father. They approve. A man who can cry is a man with unimpeachable intentions.
At some point after feeling his youth with (m)Amanda and crying in front of Lauren's family, Ben wished on an unplugged Zoltar to be Big. He woke up to a date with Caila, a sexy panther whose dad runs a toy factory. Together they build their dream (toy) house, which they'll send to Amanda's daughters when the show wraps. The date is a success, and the factory staff applaud as Ben kisses their boss's daughter. Back at her house, Caila's parents are warm and welcoming and her brother stays quiet, which makes him my favorite sibling. Ben might cry again; I can't remember.
Immediately before JoJo's date, she receives a bouquet of red roses and a love letter from her ex of 39 days, Chad. A lot of work went into this moment. Yes, the Bachelor trademark red grocery store roses had to be shipped overnight from Portland. First, though, you have to go back a year when an insider (the sister?) introduces a level-headed girl named Joelle to Intern Chad, an emotionally unavailable Adonis who convinces her to go by JoJo. Also on-board with the pirate theme, JoJo's black lace up shirt perfectly represents a heart torn in indecision. Just kidding, the camera guys are right there. She's clearly going to pick Ben.
The date continues at her family's Dallas mansion, where we meet her parents, her two brothers, both named Vinnie, and her sister, who mysteriously disappears soon after this. Vinnie tells us that they are really really really into JoJo, and Vinnie kisses around her mouth a lot. I'll leave it at that. They leave the lush velvet drapery and mahogany wood of the foyer for the lush velvet drapery and mahogany wood of the dining room. I didn't spot a crucifix in this house (there was one in every other), but they make up for it by living in a Jesuit church. We see the back of the sister's head, and then the brothers take Ben aside and ask if he cares about JoJo. He basically says, "You'll find out soon!" The only thing the brothers hate more than Ben are traditional collars.
JoJo's mom takes her aside to assure her that she's too beautiful to fail, but maybe she should show a lot of cleavage at the Rose Ceremony, just in case. The Vinnies get very aggressive with Ben, JoJo continues to characterize their relationship as terrifying, and sister hasn't been seen since the salad course.
I feel how you feel, JoJo's mom.
At the Rose Ceremony, Lauren B. joins Amanda's "The armpit is the new shoulder" campaign in her 90's dress, and JoJo sagely takes her mom's advice with the cleave. In vino veritas. (m)Amanda goes home. Ben cries, (m)Amanda cries, and after a light scolding for not dumping her when she was home, he's finally left with women he can dump without compunction.

It is just as I feared.
I have owned a vernier caliper for less than 48 hours, and already, it is making me insufferable.
Okay, more insufferable.
Case in point: My Raleigh go-sorta-fast bike is spec'ed for a 27.2mm seatpost. The seatpost it came with is clearly engraved 27.2mm. Yet in both the Raleigh's seat tube and in other seat tubes that are supposedly a 27.2mm spec, the seatpost requires excessive tightening of the seatpost binder bolt and still creeps down into the frame under my (ahem) substantial mass.
Thus, the paradox I'm calling Schrödinger's Seatpost: A post which (like its namesake both-dead-and-alive cat) is simultaneously 27.2 millimeters in diameter and NOT 27.2 millimeters in diameter.
Whoa. I just blew your mind a little, didn't I? You can admit it.
But with a vernier caliper, I can open the box and see how the cat's doing. And I'm here to tell you that my seatpost is -- without question -- NOT 27.2 millimeters in diameter. Heck, it's barely 27.0, which explains the need for a carefully crafted aluminum can shim to keep me at the proper altitude.
I would say that the caliper has just paid for itself, but in reality, it probably made itself more expensive, since now that I know my seatpost is undersized, I want to replace it -- even though the aluminum can shim is perfectly functional and practically invisible. I think I may have opened Pandora's box here, not Schrödinger's.
It was fun using all those umlauts, though.

The kids and I are enjoying some homemade granola for breakfast today. I only wish that I had more honey on hand to make granola bars. Both are such money savers as well as yummy snacks!
We're thankful for a day at home, but we (namely, mama) have quite the to-do list! I'm sure you're all dying to know what it is:
1. Finish breakfast and clear the dishes.
2. Make toffee for book discussion group tonight. Dig out candy thermometer to make said toffee.
3. Fold a load of laundry and put another load in the dryer. We try to wash one load a day. We (mama, again) does well with the washing, but the folding and putting away cannot seem to cooperate with me as quickly. The kids are starting to be wonderful helpers with transferring the clothes into the machines and pressing the buttons!
4. Try not to torment Omma's dog too much. Omma has officially moved in last week, as she prepares to put a house in on the lot next door.
5. Make bread dough for tomorrow's dinner. We'll hopefully be having grilled pizzas!
6. Put chicken in crockpot for tonight's dinner. You can never go wrong with white wine and garlic.
7. Write a letter/color some pictures for Uncle in Africa.
8. Work on secret knitting and sewing projects - both are gifts for September birthdays.
9. Prepare peach cobbler to go in the oven while the potatoes are baking for tonight's dinner.
10. Water plants on the back deck. I'm surprised these plants are so forgiving because of how long it takes me to water them.
11. Check garden for the handful of cukes and tomatoes we get every day.
Well, that's the rough draft! We'll see what happens today. Hope your day is full of good things!

Hey, my friends,
Do you still remember the past time when we spent together with A123 18650?
Have you ever missed them since we've been apart for a long time?
Some of the customers always think the a123 18650 cells price is much higher, but we would like to tell you that Since a123 system bankrupcy,the a123 cells stopped producing. We also have not so much a123 18650 cells in stock . However, we find a new lifepo4 18650 cells to replace it. The little difference is the voltage,The discharge rate for some of the RC modules is ok we think. The most important advantage is the price is much cheaper. We suppose that all of you will like it.
Please have a try for this lifepo4 18650 cells, and you will get a new experience !
