Chocolate chip cookies. Is there anything better? Well before I share this awesome dairy free, {vegan}, gluten-free recipe with you… I wanted to share a thought I had while making these delicious bites. If your not a close friend, or don't care, go ahead and stroll down to the bottom for the recipe.
Staging these cookies on gorgeous cake stands reminded me of a funny exchange of texts I had with a dear friend recently. Mother of four, she text me one night "what are you doing?" I text "sitting by candle light, listening to silence" she replied "ugh. I wish I were doing that." I responded with "ha, well what are you doing?" Humorously she goes on to explain how she is watching her four kids perform skits, loud singing, costumes strung across the floor, chaos, she explains. And of course, I respond with "ugh, I wish I were doing that." We learned something that night. Here we were, each of us, experiencing magical moments in life and we were tempted, dare I say, engaging with the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality. It is way too easy to look at someone else's life and think "lucky". But what if you were right where you were suppose to be tonight?
As I was making these cookies, listening to Adel, anticipating a lovely quiet date night at home with my honey I was struggling with thoughts like, "I wish I were so tired from being up all night with a baby that I had no energy to bake". For the first time in my life I kinda wish I couldn't fit into my jeans, because maybe that would mean there were a little life that was both Rob and I combined. But instead, I am in the kitchen with lipstick on, listening to Adel, about to enjoy a beverage and a quiet relaxing evening with my husband. I vulnerably share this with you because I don't want this food blog to ever promote jealousy. If you look at these gorgeous pictures, just remember, they are just pictures. They never show you the pile of dishes in my sink or my frizzy bun on top of my head. (Your welcome) They just show you one moment of our day. Our perfect day filled with ups and downs just like everyone else. For my dear single friends, I remember thinking, "When I have a husband, then I wont want anything in the world! I will be so happy that this world won't be able to contain my contentment." Sigh. Ya. Well once again I am faced with the reality of human nature, that is, you always want more. So all of this to say, if your reading this and you have baby diapers falling out of the diaper genie, or maybe blocks are all over your hardwood floors or maybe your alone, room mates in the other room or out on a date. Maybe your sitting next to your husband and the house is eerily quiet… In whatever season of life you find your self in, I hope you can enjoy it. It is just a season. Not forever. A gift.

About Us
ACHANGE is dedicated to promoting quality, affordable, housing and community economic development throughout Arkansas.
ACHANGE supports, informs, and encourages local and state-wide efforts to improve housing for Arkansas's low-income and moderate-income families.
As the collective voice for affordable housing advocates state-wide, ACHANGE's objectives are to:
Represent a collective voice in support of public policy and programs for quality, affordable housing.
Develop and conduct education and training programs to strengthen ACHANGE organizations and positions.
Study best practices in affordable housing and inform ACHANGE members of implementation options.
Deliver standards and certification for housing counseling and education.
Develop and publicize an affordable housing agenda.
Create a system for project-based and operational funding for ACHANGE.
Support a holistic process for addressing housing issues.
In November, 2004, seven community development corporations from across Arkansas met to discuss their needs and concerns as developers of affordable housing, providers of homebuyer and financial literacy education, and managers of nonprofit businesses. Four months later, a "working collaborative" called The Arkansas Coalition of Housing and Neighborhood Growth for Empowerment (ACHANGE) was formed to address the current housing conditions in Arkansas.
ACHANGE emerged with the mission of serving as a collective voice of Arkansas community based organizations in the following distinct areas:
• Education and Training
• Public Policy Development
• Community Preservation and Growth
What began as an informal collaborative became a formal organization. The organization sought, and obtained, 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Strategic planning allowed the group to agree on a mission, goals and objectives for the organization. Working committees were established to carry out the work of the organization.
With the assistance of partners and associate members like NeighborWorks America ®, Bank of the Ozarks, Arvest Bank, Regions Bank, Arvest Mortgage, Southern Development Bancorp, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, MidSouth Delta LISC, Enterprise Corporation of the Delta and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Little Rock Branch, ACHANGE has been able to provide these services and programs:
• Annual Community Development training conferences
• Annual Community Service Awards
• Annual Public Policy Symposiums
• Regional training workshops
• Membership networking events
ACHANGE continues to grow and evolve as the needs of the members change. We are committed to "making ACHANGE in Arkansas".

The Recipe Box by Sandra Lee
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Oh, Sandra Lee, I had such high hopes for this book. How could I have been so wrong and disappointed.
Filled with one dimension characters with one dimensional problems, a magical solution, a none mystery, and recipes that you could pull off the internet using any cooking site. I found myself looking like a fool for actually paying for this and waiting until 150 pages in to get a grip that this is not going to get better.
With so much potential in the storyline, a friend dies, friends reunite, coming home means reconciling with the past - even if there are a few skeletons hanging in the closet that have to be put out in the open, old loves and new -- but nothing was there to enjoy. The main character was a paper doll with no real depth, the secrets were blown way out of proportion, and the wonderful way it all came together felt as fake as cubic zirconia.
I just stick to Sandra Lee's cooking tips and recipes - writing is not her forte

Walpole Unitarian Church Launches New Cookbook with a Recipe Sampling Reception
Join members and friends of the Walpole Unitarian Church Friday, Nov. 17, for a reception and menu sampling of recipes from our new cookbook. The event will be held at Hastings Parish House on Union Street from 6 to 8 p.m.
This launch of "The Walpole Unitarian Church Cookbook: Food for Thought," celebrates "feeding each other in a hungry world" both on a physical and spiritual level.
Your $25 admission will include a copy of the cookbook as well as the delicious buffet of foods created from recipes in the book. Two-person admission and one cookbook is $40.
This is a collection of favorite recipes, ethnic family recipes, old and new recipes, some with a modern twist, some old standbys, some secrets, and many with a story attached. Simple or complicated, what they all have in common is that they are threads in the fabric of someone's life, and thus, our Congregation and the larger community.
You will find a "jazzy" blueprint for making any kind of soup, appetizers that will entice your guests, some vintage offerings, and lots of ideas for chicken and vegetarian meals, with influences from around the globe.
There are quick weeknight dishes like Rev. Elaine's Chili Rice Casserole, and slow food delights such as Three Friends' Sourdough Bread. We have recipes from those no longer with us, and from those of the next generations who will take our place!
We even have a 50-year-old recipe for baked beans from a 100-year-old man in the village who many of us know! It includes gluten-free recipes such as a Mediterranean flatbread "socca," and lactose-free offerings as well, like Hannah's Cornbread Casserole and dark chocolate birthday cupcakes.
Our food and bake sales are popular in the community, and we've included recipes for some of the area's favorites from both sides of the river. Additionally, we have a few of our Walpole Old Home Days Cookie Bake-off award winners!
We spent a year of our Family First Sundays preparing dishes to offer each other from what would become the categories of this cookbook. We shared the dish and the recipe, and created a whole new set of special food memories in the process! We used locally produced food where possible, and focused, of course, on dishes that are easy to share with others and are tried and true.
For more information, or to reserve tickets, please call Dorothy Read at 802-463-9333, or Virginia Carter at 603-756-3948. BTW — This cookbook is a wonderful holiday gift to give someone of any age!!
That's what it's all about! Sharing the food and the memories.
May your moments be filled with laughter and friendship, and lots of wonderful meals!

Why So Many Animated Characters Wear Gloves
Why So Many Animated Characters Wear Gloves? Ever notice that animated characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Bugs Bunny are all always wearing gloves? What is up with that? If you've ever wondered this, you're not the only one.
In An Extremely Goofy Movie, Max's friend Bobby Zimmeruski looks down at his hands and asks the question out loud. "Why do you think we're always, like, wearing gloves?" He didn't get the answer then, but the Vox team explores this very question in a new video. To get to the bottom of it, they spoke with animation historian and New York University professor, John Canemaker.
What they found out is that there are actually a few reasons behind the gloves. Firstly, gloves require less detail than drawing actual hands so the choice helped animators save time and effort. Secondly, they stand out more.
"Characters' hands in black-and-white film were difficult to see against their black bodies," Canemaker explains.
The third reason comes from Walt Disney himself. The video points out that in his 1968 biography The Disney Version, Disney explains why they chose to have Mickey wear gloves. "We didn't want him to have mouse hands, because he was supposed to be more human. So, we gave him gloves."
Lastly, the video explores the link between vaudeville performances and blackface minstrelsy to early animation.
"Nicholas Sammond writes in Birth of an Industry that early animated characters like Felix the Cat, Bimbo, and Mickey Mouse weren't just like minstrels, they were minstrels," Estelle Caswell, who created the video, explains. "Both the cartoons and the stage characters were portrayed as mischievous and rebellious, yet good natured. They wore loose clothes, had painted faces, and they wore white gloves."
So, there you have it. Gloves on animated characters saved time, provided color contrast, made characters seem more human, and are linked to a historically racist practice.

I just googled "why do people choose to live in the desert". I'm trying to find out. I think I'm trying to justify my choice to remain where I am.
Recently, Lindsey and I visited her hometown, Portland, OR. I loved it. Linsey misses it. We were there only for a couple of days, but, it was enough to make us want to be there permanently. The Pacific Northwest seemed to be what we wanted, and everything we thought Albuquerque is not. Courteous drivers, cool weather, towering pines, a crime rate that's not out of control, and a community that cares about public education.
We decided to move. We were set, ready to go. Then we were smacked in the face with a healthy dose of reality. Housing costs. I like to say housing costs is why we didn't move, but it might be a little bit of my fear overtaking me. I don't know. There were a lot of reasons we decided to stay. Point being...we're still here.
Now, I'm googling things like "why do people choose to live in the desert". I'm trying to find the beauty of where I'm at. I've been exposed to a lot of ugly here, and my eyes are focused on that. People think we're crazy for staying. Some do, at least. Some people see the contrast of Albuquerque and some other city, and they move. They get tired and they move. We were almost those people. Almost.
I'm trying to be accepting. I'm trying to make the most of my location. My life. I'm trying to convince myself that Albuquerque is a great place... I've been a New Mexican in denial for a long time. People talk about the crime here a lot. I always stick up for us. My response is always a reminder that there's crime in every city, and Albuquerque isn't that bad. Then, my front door got kicked in in broad daylight and things were stolen. Another time, we got in our car to go to church finding a two liter bottle with a used needle in it. We forgot to lock our door one night and someone found an opportunity to shoot up in privacy.
There are drugs in our neighborhood. There is crime. Every night I feel a little uneasy that my house can be broken into. I think about what I would do if someone climbed into my house via my kids bedroom window. I imagine myself tackling an intruder and hitting them with any object I can find.
I don't like this feeling. I don't feel safe in my city. I felt safe in Portland.
I told Lindsey I feel like I have excitement hangover. Reality is setting in. I'm realizing that I'm here. I'm trying to make the best of it. I truly feel like I must be here for a reason. I have faith. Faith doesn't come naturally for me. I have to work at it.
I'm looking for beauty in our state. I know we have it. I've lived here all my life. There's beauty. I think the path I need to take is balance. I can't just look at the beauty and ignore the ugly. That's probably why we're in the place we are now. I'm a New Mexican in denial, and I'm sure there are more people like me. I think we need to confront the ugly head on. Do something about it. Still, stop and stare at the setting sunlight reflect off the Sandias every once in a while.

In the beginning
When I was a little boy I loved watching TV, just like any ordinary kid. Between 4 and 12 I used to get up early every Saturday and Sunday to watch the cartoons and shows like "Going Live" and "Games Master". If fact I learned sarcasm from watching Dominic Diamond putting down some teen with that sarcastic Scottish wit! I also learned that a floating astronomers head could give me cheats for my favorite games.
As I got older and my tastes changed, I wanted to watch stuff that was a little more adult without being boring. And because I was into drawing, I was attracted to strong visual style of Manga and anime, I loved the intricate story's of the "Ghost in the Shell" series and movie's. In fact I still enjoy them today, along with "Patlabor", "Akira" and more recently "Full Metal Alchemist" and "Initial D" (what can I say, I LOVE racing!).
The Classics
Throughout my youth I built an appreciation of classic TV, from the original "Star Trek" to "Columbo" and "The man from uncle" to name a few. All were well written and well produced and provided hours of entertainment for a young boy.
again as I grew older my taste evolved, I started enjoying the British thrillers like "Cracker", "Wire in the Blood", "Spooks" and one that some may not of heard about "Ultraviolet" (although more of a supernatural thriller).
Today I watch mostly Motors TV and documentaries or I'll visit the cinema. Or I watch internet tv (Jupiter Broadcasting with the Linux Action Show, TechSnap, Unfilter and the Faux show and there's the TWiT network) or YouTube (Mystery Science Theater 3000, bashcraft, Philly D, 20 mins or less etc).
I also enjoy Big Bang Theory, Board Walk Empire, Dexter, House and The IT Crowd. But I miss the thrillers I used to enjoy and the BBC have dumbed down their programming.
What has happened
TV today is all about stupid reality shows that have nothing to do with reality, or game shows that are more about luck than any show of knowledge or skill. Chat shows that delight in dragging on the detestable, destitute, socially inept, awkward or anti social scum. Then using a misguided sense of superiority to judge and "help" / demonize them.
Then there's the talent(less) competitions that enjoy deluding people in to thinking anyone can become famous. Creating a false sense of drama by having one overly critical judge and the rest of the panel being easily won over.
What to do?
This shower of shit that I'm being force fed only sickens me more. "well don't watch it!" I hear people say but when I go on the internet, people are talking about it or when I'm out and about I end up faced with it.
I could learn to live with it if there were more content that appeals to me. If TV evolved to what it keeps promising to, then almost everyone would be happy with the content. But big TV networks are unimaginative entities that keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. Until it stops making money then they move on to the next formulaic money spinner and bleed that dry.
So I've had enough, I'm off to get my own entertainment. Roll your own if you will.

Author Notes: This is my first ode to food52 recipe. I always check out the weekly contests on this website, and I usually follow up and see what other people are contributing. Sometimes I get inspired and purchase ingredients I've never tried, or I buy something I usually skip over because someone in the house dislikes it. My own first attempt for the Cauliflower Contest week was less than delicious; I caramelized some mushrooms and the florettes from half a head of cauliflower, and then did something spicewise I [intentionally, most-likely] can't remember. So I had a half head of cauliflower that I knew my husband wasn't keen on eating, and my kids wouldn't even look at. But other food52-ers were submitting very interesting recipe ideas: mashed cauliflower "potatoes", cauliflower cakes, things fried in bacon fat. So this is what I did that week. Probably a little bland for some people, these "potato' cakes could easily be spiced up for whatever they accompany. My kids devoured these several times before they realized they were eating cauliflower. Food52 has pulled us out of some serious eating ruts! This recipe is a little labor intensive, so I usually double it and freeze some for later. —Sadassa_Ulna
Makes: approx. 8 or 9
head* cauliflower
small potatoes**
slices bacon
1 egg
beaten, divided in half
ounces cream cheese
teaspoon salt, divided
tablespoons grated parmesan
cup bread crumbs
teaspoon mustard powder, or
ground black pepper
additional spices, to taste
tablespoons milk
cup or more, vegetable oil
- Peel potatoes* and cook in boiling water for 20 minutes; drain and allow to cool for 10 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy; leave grease in the pan and pull out bacon slices to cool in a medium mixing bowl. Break into little pieces when cool enough to handle.
- "Rice" the potatoes into the bacon bowl using a hand ricer, or lightly break apart with a fork and knife.
- Cut cauliflower into florettes and steam for 8-10 minutes or until a little soft. Allow to cool.
- In a food processor (or blender) pulse the cauliflower to desired consistency; I like when there are still little chunks and florettes visible. Definitely stop pulsing at the pea-size size.
- Add about 3/4 of the cauliflower to the bacon/potato bowl. Reserve the remaining cauliflower in the processor bowl.
- Add the 1/2 beaten egg, the cream cheese, parmesan, 1/2 tsp. salt and spices to the remaining cauliflower and pulse until thoroughly blended. Add to the bacon and potato bowl.
- Toss gently to incorporate together (without mashing all the air out). Form into little patties using cupped hands. These can be covered and refrigerated for up to 8 hours, or frozen. Allow to come to room temperature before frying.
- Heat the skillet with the bacon grease in it. Mix other half beaten egg with a little milk in a shallow bowl; pour bread crumbs and 1/2 tsp. salt into a second shallow bowl. Set these up near your stove along with the formed patties. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (optional).
- Add enough vegetable oil to the bacon grease to get a half inch depth in the skillet, adjust heat to medium high. Using one hand, dip a patty into the egg and flip to cover, then drop into the bread crumbs. Use a fork with the other hand to flip and cover with crumbs. [Keep this hand clean and dry because things will get messy with the flipping].
- Use a flat spatula to lift patty and slide into skillet. Continue with all patties until your skillet is full. Keep an eye on them, and flip them over with you start to see golden crumbs sizzle away from the patties. Lift finished cakes out and place in a 9 x 13 pan as they are done; place pan in the oven. Continue to dip, dip, fry each patty as space becomes available in your skillet.
- Keep cakes warm in the oven until serving, if desired. My son likes them with enormous quantities of tomato ketchup. I like them with small quantities of ketchup.
- * This recipe would probably work well using a full head of cauliflower and omitting the potatoes entirely. I also think that chopped onion could be sauteed with the bacon (also chopped) for added flavor, or even replace the bacon, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Maybe some fresh rosemary . . .
- ** I recently made these using potato flakes and water (not cooked, just mixed into a thick batter-like consistency) instead of the riced, cooked potatoes. I prefer real potatoes but other people in the house enjoyed them and it is a time-saver.
- These are a great side dish for baked fish and a green salad. Leftover cakes can be reheated for an after-school snack...

On February 15th, car cameras and cellphones captured a blinding streak that flashed across the sky over Russia's Ural Mountains, followed by an explosion that injured some 1,500 people. The meteor, weighing around 10,000 tons, was the largest object to burst in the atmosphere since 1908. Within days, NOVA crews were in Russia following impact scientists as they hunted for debris from the explosion and clues to the meteor's origin.

Long-dead Pillowtex reborn as unlikely issue in U.S. Senate race in Georgia
The fate of Pillowtex, the long-dead former textile giant in Kannapolis, has resurfaced as a key issue in Georgia's U.S. Senate race, of all places.
And like North Carolina's contest, what happens in Georgia could help determine which party seizes control of the Senate this fall.
Georgia's tight Republican primary runoff on Tuesday pits veteran U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston against business executive David Perdue, the next-to-last CEO at Pillowtex.
Several months after Perdue left the long-troubled company, it abruptly shut down on July 30, 2003.
It wiped out 7,650 jobs nationwide, including more than 4,000 in Cabarrus and Rowan counties – the biggest one-day job loss in the history of the state and the textile industry at the time.
Perdue, a political novice and the cousin of Georgia's former governor, touts his private sector successes as an antidote to career politicians like Kingston. But Perdue's website biography skips over his brief Pillowtex tenure.
Absent a lengthy voting record to pick apart, Kingston needed to go after Perdue's business history, said Alan Abramowitz, a political scientist at Emory University in Atlanta. That's what President Barack Obama did to Mitt Romney.
But it's unclear how much the issue of an out-of-state company is resonating with Georgia voters. "The problem for Kingston is that this was not a Georgia company," Abramowitz said.
Perdue at Pillowtex
Indeed, Pillowtex was a North Carolina mainstay for more than a century.
Its iconic 200-foot-tall twin smoke stacks towered over downtown Kannapolis. And it wasn't unusual to see several generations of families work in the mills for Pillowtex and predecessor companies Cannon Mills and Fieldcrest Cannon.
When the company finally collapsed, Pillowtex leaders and politicians were quick to blame pressure from low-cost imports for the downfall. But a 2004 Observer series detailed a more complex picture: A changing roster of top leaders over its final three years made critical miscalculations at the debt-heavy company or squandered chances to address the growing import problem.
Perdue, credited with helping lead a turnaround at Reebok, arrived at Pillowtex in July 2002 with the chance to run one of the nation's biggest sheet-and-towel manufacturers.
He came with big plans for a company that had recently emerged from bankruptcy protection, including aggressively marketing its brands and sending more work overseas.
But within weeks, Perdue began questioning the company's rosy financial projections that were used when exiting bankruptcy.
Perdue later felt the information he received from the company before joining Pillowtex did not reflect the extent of its problems, the series found. That included Pillowtex's underfunded pension plan, which required tens of millions of dollars the company did not have.
Perdue unsuccessfully tried to get company investors to provide more money, then worked to find a buyer for Pillowtex.
His frequent absence from the Kannapolis headquarters "was terrible for morale. We felt he'd given up on us," an internal auditor told the Observer for its series. Others called him "Oz" behind his back, a nod to the seldom-seen wizard.
Nine months after he started, Perdue resigned in late March 2003 after earning nearly $1.7 million in salary, bonus and signing bonus, the series found. He soon became CEO of Dollar General, a Fortune 500 company.
Pillowtex refiled for bankruptcy four months after Perdue left and closed for good.
Babies and ad wars
In May, Perdue topped a seven-person field in the Republican primary with nearly 31 percent of the vote; Kingston came in second with 26 percent.
The runoff race remains close, said professor Abramowitz, who expects very low turnout on election day. The winner faces Democrat Michelle Nunn in the fall.
The ad wars typify the tough rhetoric of the GOP contest.
Perdue ran an ad in the primary showing his opponents as crying babies, with Perdue saying he wanted to change Washington's childish behavior.
Kingston later ran an ad with a young child named "Davey" in a full diaper, stuffing his face with cake as a narrator intoned, "Perdue chewed up businesses. Eight thousand jobs were lost ... David Perdue. Something doesn't smell right. ..."
The ad, and another one making similar claims about Perdue " mismanaging Pillowtex," were faulted by FactCheck.org and PolitiFact Georgia, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's independent, fact-checking arm, for inaccuracies.
Kingston spokesman Chris Crawford said Monday that the campaign sticks by the ads. He said it was fair game to examine the business record that Perdue has based his campaign on, and his claim he has a knack for turning things around.
"If you ask the 7,650 Pillowtex employees, they'd tend to disagree with that," Crawford said.
Perdue spokesman Derrick Dickey said the ads were typical of a career politician. Perdue went to Pillowtex to do everything he could to help, Dickey said, but later found there were things beyond his control.
"He was proud he took a challenge and did the best he could under the circumstances," Dickey added, saying Perdue's lengthy private-sector experience has prepared him to go to Washington and focus on the economy and jobs.
Not everyone's convinced.
Kannapolis resident Diane Winecoff, 68, worked at the mill for about four decades, and was a fabric print inspector when it closed.
"It's kinda weird for it to be (an issue) in Georgia," she said. "If I lived in Georgia, (Perdue) wouldn't get my vote. He didn't stand up for his people."
Perdue repeatedly defended his time at Pillowtex.
He recently told The Associated Press that what happened at the company was tragic, adding, "My parents raised me to be the kind of leader that runs toward the burning building to try to help instead of running away from it and sitting on the curb and criticizing those that are trying to make a difference."

Casey Prather ruled out, other Florida Gators also injured
Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Gators continue to be plagued by injuries.
No. 10 Florida will be without Casey Prather when it travels to face Arkansas on the road Saturday afternoon (1 p.m., ESPN2), coach Billy Donovan announced Friday. Scottie Wilbekin (ankle) and Patric Young (knee) will also be limited after sitting out of practice the past two days, while Michael Frazier II continues to recover from a minor calf injury.
"We'll go in there as best we can and do the best job we can with what we've got," Donovan said. "We'll see who's available."
Prather, who leads the team with 17 points per game and has a team-best 14 games with double-figures scoring this season, woke up Thursday morning with swelling in his right knee after suffering a bone bruise at some point this week.
The senior underwent tests later that night that determined there was no structural damage in the cartilage surrounding his knee, but continued swelling will cause him to sit out for the first time this season.
Young explained his injury as "just general wear and tear" and expects to be fine to play, while Wilbekin continues to recover after spraining his right ankle while attempting a layup late in the second half of Florida's 74-58 victory over South Carolina on Wednesday night. Frazier was also banged up during the game.
"I would say he'll probably give it some kind of try," Donovan said of Wilbekin. "But what we can get out of him, I really don't know at this point in time."
With so many Gators battling injuries, Donovan expects to start freshman Kasey Hill at point guard. DeVon Walker and Dorian Finney-Smith could also be in line to see an increase in minutes as Florida attempts to snap Arkansas' 25-game home winning streak.
"We're going to need guys to step up for our team," Young said. "Casey is definitely a huge part of our team, but it's not just one guy who's going to be the determining factor if we win or lose."

Guest Fig Wyldstyle here! Emmet wasn't really sure how to answer this question, so he asked me to step in.
So listen up AFOLs, packing your MOC is a very important part of making sure it travels without encountering any damage. In the first place, measure the base of your MOC. If it is built on a standard 32×32 baseplate, then the base measures 10″x10″. If it is built on two 32×32 baseplates, then the base measures 10″x20″, etc. You should be able to calculate the dimensions in inches for any combination of 32×32, 16×32, or 48×48 baseplates.
Next find the right cardboard box for your MOC. A standard paper box is 11″x17″ so you'll be able to put a 32×32 baseplate MOC in that box with plenty of room. But if you want a custom fit, visit The Container Store, Staples, Office Max, Menards, Lowes, Home Depot or even UHaul and you should be able to buy a 12″x12″ box for under a dollar. 12″x24″ will run between $2 and $3. You can use any box at all as long as your MOC fits, but uniform and standard sized boxes stack on top of each other better.
Reforce the edges of your box with 2″ packing tape. This will help the box last longer after all it's only cardboard.
If you ever get packages delivered, save the bubble wrap or air pocket cushions. After placing your MOC inside the box, use these to cushion the MOC so that he doesn't slide around the box.
I find it helpful to take off figs and other decorations that might fall off the MOC during transport and keep them in a ziplock bag inside the MOC. There's nothing worse that the sound of bricks crashing come from the inside of your MOC box during transport.
The final step is to label the box. Take a bold marker and be sure to put arrows on the box indicating which side is up (trust me, this will help). Put the name of your MOC and your name on all four sides of the box. During teardown, this will definitely help you know which boxes are yours!
Some AFOL's will also use plastic storage tubs because they are more durable. But these don't stack as nicely as uniform boxes.
These are just a couple of ideas, be sure to choose the way to pack your MOC that works best for you.

As the professional imaging and multimedia landscape evolves, creative visionaries find themselves increasingly demanding more from their equipment. They depend upon their digital SLRs to help them tell a story, document a moment, and inspire audiences. They need versatility and functionality, and they are expected to produce exceptional results. Their equipment needs to be able to handle any assignment given to them, and must adapt to unpredictable shooting environments and conditions. Anything less may compromise the integrity of their work.
World-class photographer Kristian Bogner, award-winning videographer Kirk Neff, and imaging expert Jon Blacker, will share their expertise during this evening of talks. Bogner and Neff will host "One Camera - Two Perspectives," which will discuss the use of multimedia HD-SLRs such as the Nikon D800 to produce spectacular stills, portraits, videos, and documentaries. Blacker's talk, titled "Infrared Portraiture," will discuss this different approach to capturing images with interesting effects, moods, and qualities.

One cause of male pattern baldness is genetics, or having a family history of baldness. Research has found that male pattern baldness is associated with male sex hormones called androgens. The androgens have many functions including regulating hair growth.
Each hair on your head has a growth cycle. With male pattern baldness, this growth cycle begins to weaken and the hair follicle shrinks, producing shorter and finer strands of hair. Eventually, the growth cycle for each hair ends and no new hair grows in its place.
Inherited male pattern baldness usually has no medical ill effects. However, sometimes baldness has more serious causes, such as certain cancers, medications, thyroid conditions, and anabolic steroids. See your doctor if hair loss occurs after taking new medications or when it's accompanied by other health complaints.
Doctors use the pattern of hair loss to diagnose male pattern baldness. They may perform a medical history and exam to rule out certain health conditions as the cause, such as fungal conditions of the scalp or nutritional disorders. Health conditions may be a cause of baldness when a rash, redness, pain, peeling of the scalp, hair breakage, patchy hair loss, or an unusual pattern of hair loss accompanies the hair loss. A skin biopsy and blood tests also may be necessary to diagnose disorders responsible for the hair loss.

A consultative council has been appointed by the government to give recommendations and prepare legislation involving the LGBT community.
Social Dialogue Minister Helena Dalli said the formation of the council came in the wake of a first reading in Parliament last week of a Bill to amend the Civil Code to enable people who undergo gender re-assignment to marry a person of the opposite gender.
The new council is headed by Cyrus Engerer and is composed of representatives of NGOs involved in LGBT issues.
The council's priority will be to prepare legislation on civil unions by persons of the same sex.
The council will later work on a Bill to regulate the recognition of trans-gender persons.
Dr Dalli said it was government policy to respect all people in the context of diversity. She stressed the need for society to address homophobia through improved education.
The NGOs represented on the council are the Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM), Drachma, Drachma Parents Support Group, the students group 'We Are', ADITUS and LGBT Labour.

From: Paul Dixon - Ladd Hill Bible Church (email@example.com)
Date: Sun Feb 16 1997 - 19:40:27 EST
I thank you all for your helpful responses. There certainly is wisdom in
a multitude of counsel.
My feel at this point. It probably doesn't matter that much which 1st
year grammar is used. I've narrowed my list down to Machen, Mounce,
Summers, and GREEK TO ME.
Greek tools are important, even early on. Probably BAG or Abbott for
sure. Also, I plan to get the students into the Greek text as soon as
reasonably possible. One thing I personally did that was very helpful was
memorizing from the Greek NT (I memorized Titus during second year; then
discovered it contained lots of hapax legomena).
Someone mentioned that he started teaching 25-30 students, but by year's
end it had dwindled to 2 1/2. That is one major concern.

Losing weight can be difficult. Using a detox regimen first can help kickstart weight loss. Learn how I used a two day detox plan to initiate weight loss.
I'm always a little skeptical of quick weight loss plans, but I kept an open mind. The WeighFast plan is a modified fast that eliminates food and replaces it with nutritional shakes. During the fast, you consume three detox shakes and three hunger management shakes each day.
It's very easy to get started on the WeighFast two day detox plan. Everything you need is included. The plan guide and tracker guides you through the two day detox. There's also online instruction videos and email support if needed. You can even get a free pedometer to track your daily steps if you use coupon code "GoWalk" when ordering. The plan promotes detoxification and inflammation reduction along with weight loss of 2-3 pounds. Some may lose even more weight!
How does this amazing two day plan work? Nutritional provide specific fuel to the liver that support the processing and elimination of toxins. By eliminating all other food, new toxins are not ingested. Drinking adequate water throughout the fast helps extract and flush out toxins. WeighFast is also designed to manage hunger so that the two day calorie restriction can be maintained easily.
I found the plan simple to follow. If you're a heavy coffee drinker, you may have issues because only water and herbal teas are allowed. You can't have any caffeinated beverages or drinks containing caloric or artificial sweeteners during the two day detox. I was fine with this as I was ready to give up that one cup a day habit! I did experience headaches the first day on the fast, but the caffeine withdrawal headaches were gone the second day. I haven't had a cup of coffee since! WeighFast allowed me to give up my caffeine habit with ease.
WeighFast Two Day Detox Plan
Here's what you get on the WeighFast Two-Day Kit:
• Detox Shakes (3/Day) (ThinnerHealth)
• Hunger Management Shakes (3/Day) (Satisfiber)
• Shaker Bottle with Powder Holders (HealthiBlender Bottle)
• Print & Online Video Instructions
You may also want the following optional items:
• Digital Pedometer (get one FREE with code "GoWalk")
• Body Tape Measure (to measure waist size reduction)
Both the ThinnerHealth detox shake and SatisFiber hunger management shake are sweetened with stevia. The SatisFiber shake also has some whole grain brown rice sweetener.
I tried the ThinnerHealth shake with both water and unsweetened almond milk. As you can probably guess, it tastes much better with almond milk so that's how I prepared it for most of the servings.
The taste of the ThinnerHealth supplement is good. It's flavored with natural berry and vanilla flavors. And, the sweetness is just right.
The SatisFiber supplement has a natural apple cinnamon flavor. The texture reminded me of a creamed wheat cereal. The flavor is a bit sweet for me probably because I've been on low carb so long, but it wasn't overly sweet.
Both supplements keep you full for hours. In fact, I was so full on both days, I skipped the last serving of the SatisFiber. And, on the second day, I ended up skipping the last serving of the ThinnerHealth too. My starting weight was only 125.8 pounds so I probably didn't need as many calories as those who are heavier anyway.
If you are just getting started on low carb or are trying to lose weight but stalled, the WeighFast Two-Day Fast is something you should consider. It's a great way to kickstart weight loss, detox, and reduce inflammation in only 2 days!
My Two Day Detox Results
You may be wondering how I did on the two day detox. My results are shown above in the handy tracking sheet provided. I ended up losing 3.2 pounds and 1.25 inches off my waist. Pretty incredible results in a short period of time.
Are you interested in the WeighFast program? You can schedule a consultation here. Don't forget that a free pedometer will be included if you use coupon code "GoWalk" when ordering.

When B2B marketers prioritize their marketing tactics, it usually starts with email. We've become extremely reliant on email marketing over the past decade, and honestly, inboxes are starting to get full.
While still effective, email marketing is not as effective as it once was, which is why we need to broaden our focus and look at other avenues to help generate leads. One simple piece of the lead generation puzzle, that many folks in the B2B space can benefit from, is the CTA.
If you don't know what a CTA is, listen up. This is important. A CTA (aka calls-to-action) is "an image or line of text that prompts your visitors, leads, and customers to take action." serve as the gateways to your landing pages. They are literally calling for the person to take an action.
CTAs are an integral piece to inbound marketing as they serve as a gateway to all your landing pages. If a person click on a CTA, they're taken to a landing page, where they can fill out a form to receive a special offer, where they then become a lead.
The action itself is whatever you choose it to be: download an ebook, attend an event, schedule a demo, etc. As long as it is relevant to what you're marketing and writing content about, a CTA can live anywhere - it can be on your website, you blog, your landing pages, your emails, even your social channels.
More often than not, you're only going to be using one CTA at a time in your marketing. As such, you want to be sure that the CTA is eye-catching with compelling copy. You also want to align your CTA with the lifecycle stage your buyer is in. So for example, if they're reading a blog post about inbound marketing, the post ends with a CTA for your top-of-funnel offer for a guide to inbound marketing.
Examples of CTAs
Here is an example of a CTA that New Breed designed recently. You'll see that while they are simple in design, they have compelling copy and a clear action at the bottom of each. We have conveyed what the offer is about, showed what the offer looks like and finally, made the offer even more enticing by using the word free.
Who can resist "free", right?
When you're thinking about the design of your CTAs, it's important to take a few things into consideration:
- Use actionable language.
- Make sure your copy is aligned - both on the CTA as well as the landing page, email, etc.
- Clearly show the benefits - why should someone click?
- Play around with urgency - sometimes using the word "now" can cause people to feel the need to take action immediately.
- Don't be afraid to go big - make your CTAs BIG and BOLD - see ours? You get the picture.
- Use color to make things pop - especially where you want the user to click (hence our "Free Download" button - a CTA within a CTA!).
- Make sure they're prominent on your website / blog - no point having them if no one can see them!
- Test everything - colors, text, placement, imagery, size, etc. TEST, TEST, TEST.
How to Create a Custom CTA in PowerPoint
Now comes the fun part. The design part!
There are lots of options when you're thinking about the design of your CTA. You can have your design team create it, but what if you just need something super quick? That's where PowerPoint comes in.
It's really easy to create custom CTAs in PowerPoint. So easy in fact, we decided to create a short little video for you and show you just how simple it truly is.
We hope you found this video helpful! And we'd love to see what you make for your own custom CTAs. Please share a link to them in the comments below!

A Message from the Superintendent
Welcome to the Pearl River School District. As Superintendent of Schools, it has been an honor to lead this district over the last three years. Together, as a school community, we have accomplished much to support our district mission, Every Child Can and Will Learn. From supporting our youngest students with the implementation of full-day kindergarten, to adding new electives at the high school, including Robotics, Computer Science, and Women in History, we continue our focus of developing students' 21st century skills, critical thinking, creative problem solving, communication and collaboration that our students need today and in the future.
While we have made strides, there is more to be done. We will continue to evaluate our programs for students at all levels. We look forward to the opportunities for teaching and learning as our capital improvement projects move from design to construction and completion.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community.

Colorado Springs Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
While fall inevitably means that winter is coming, and I'm going to be cold for 4 months, it also brings SO much excitement to my family! Fall means Pumpkin Patch time! We Love exploring the Pumpkin Patches in our area each year. This year we were privileged to explore The Colorado Pumpkin Patch, which is definitely one of the best places for fall fun in the Colorado Springs Area!
While this pumpkin patch does not have "you pick 'em" pumpkins they do have a great fenced in area to close pre picked pumpkins. However, the gourds are honestly not the reason you come to this patch! There are so many fun activities for the kids that you could easily (and we did) spend the whole day here!
We headed to the massive slide first. We could have spend another 30 minutes here, but we couldn't take any more of our 3 year old insisting we go down with him....while those bumps are ok for tiny butts they wreak havoc on adults!
Our next stop was the corn boxes, always a blast but make sure you clean out everyones pockets before you do laundry!
I was particularly impressed with some of the more inventive activities at this pumpkin patch, such as the Human Foos Ball
and Lazer Tag! This was the perfect place to ditch the kids and take a load off for us pooped parents! Our kids found tons of friends to shoot with and could have spent allday in this area.
We also really enjoyed the pumpkin shaped jump pillows,
[caption id="attachment_2182" align="aligncenter" width="459"]* Note that they were currently fetching more gas for the generators during this picture and the pillows were slightly deflated for a moment[/caption]
and life sized board games such as Jenga, Tic-Tac-Toe, and Checkers.
We had a wonderful time at the Colorado Pumpkin Patch! We brought our own lunch as we didn't know what to expect, however there was plenty of food to purchase on site and next time I definitely want to try some of their creations!
Right now you can get a Free drink (with paid admission) at the Colorado Pumpkin Patch! Grab a soda, bottled water, flavored tea or other drink valued at the concession stand valid for up to four admissions! Just click HERE for your special coupon!

Twitter is preparing to give Congress a report about Russian activity on its social media service during last year's US Presidential elections, a top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said on Thursday.
Twitter's report will be similar to the one Facebook provided to congressional investigators earlier this week which analyzed the social network's role in spreading misinformation, Senator Mark Warner said, according to a report in The Hill.
Facebook on Wednesday said it had found evidence that fake accounts "likely operated out of Russia" purchased thousands of ads during the US presidential election.
The company discovered roughly $100,000 in ad buys between June 2015 and May 2017 "associated with roughly 3,000 ads" and connected to nearly 500 affiliated fake accounts.
Warner said that Facebook's revelations could be the first of many, and also criticized the company for not acting sooner.
"I think we may just be seeing the tip of the iceberg. They had a fairly narrow search," he said. "I've been raising this issue for months. They have dismissed this issue for months."
Twitter declined to comment.

Skins Quotes Post-Game vs. Packers 2018: Jay Gruden
On injuries:
"The only injury of note is Morgan Moses, concussion. He got evaluated for a concussion [and] stayed out of the game."
On the running game this week vs. last week:
"We had a lot of opportunities to get it done, convert on some key third downs, Alex [Smith] with his legs, some other thirds downs. We were able to stay on track and hit some nice jumps. In the fourth quarter there when we needed it the most, Adrian [Peterson] was able to make a big impact."
On DL Jonathan Allen:
"Yeah, Jonathan played good. You know, the whole defensive line, they continued to rush, continued to pressure Aaron [Rodgers] as best they could. They had some great rushes. They had some tough downs in there, but what I liked best about their game today was their nonstop effort. You know, it's not an easy task to chase that guy around the field all day. They did a great job. [They] gave up some hits in the running game, gave up a couple drives but that's going to happen when you're playing Aaron Rodgers. I'm happy most about the way they played and continued to play for four quarters."
On the passing game today:
"Yeah, it was good to get some guys involved there. Paul Richardson, got him a deep shot. We've been trying to get some of those going. Jamison [Crowder] had some big plays, Jordan [Reed] had a couple big plays, Vernon [Davis] had a big play and that's what we try to do. Distribute the ball to the open guy and Alex [Smith] did an excellent job. But you can't do that without time to get the ball out of your hands. For the most part, I was very impressed with our offensive line—the way they handled the running game and the pass protection with a few exceptions but very, very pleased with the way they played and Alex [Smith] and the rest of the gang."
On getting TE Jordan Reed involved:
"There's a concerted effort to get Jordan involved every week and really, he's a great player. We're trying to manage him early in the season, make sure he gets back to full strength. Whether he's there or not, you can ask him, but he's looking better and better each week at practice and helping at the games. It's good to get Vernon Davis some shot plays down the field. Chris Thompson didn't show up a lot there, they were doing a good job at covering Chris, but other guys were able to make some plays because of that."
On defense in the third quarter:
"I was really pleased. You know, I knew Aaron Rodgers was going to make a run. I mean, he does it all the time. He's been playing for a long time and made many, many, many runs, so third quarter they got the ball to start the quarter and they held the ball for probably about eight minutes I think. And we came out and had a quick three-and-out, and our defense did a great job of holding them in some key situations and getting off the field and getting our offense a chance to make some plays there in the very end."
On the team after the first three games:
"Yeah, we've kind of been a little up and down so to speak. I like the way we came out and I tell them today, you know, we play with that type of energy and that type of effort every week we're pretty dangerous. So the big thing is just to stay focused, stay humble and move forward. Handle the bye week like pros and come back ready to roll. Get ready for a tough New Orleans team on the road on Monday night."
On LB Ryan Anderson goal line set:
"Yeah, that's our goal line set. We don't dress a fullback here so we taught Ryan Anderson four or five plays and he does a good job coming in there and handling that. I don't know if he knows where he's going, but he runs in there hard and closes his eyes. Adrian Peterson tells it best. Adrian is a great one-cut runner down hill. He makes those plays work and is a good package for us when we get down there."
On what happened to RB Adrian Peterson and CB Josh Norman:
"Yeah, [Adrian Peterson] got kicked in the ankle and a little in pain there so we took him out. He'll be fine. [Josh Norman]'s got a little bit of a hamstring issue we're getting check out right now."
On RB Adrian Peterson moving to seventh all-time in rushing touchdowns:
"I feel great, I don't care about his other touchdowns, I care about the three he had here. He's a great player he's a pro and we're happy to have him. He fell into our lap at a critical time, we needed a player, and he was there for us. He is everything as advertised."
On Alex Smith extending drives:
"You can't put a price tag on it, it's critical. These third downs when they're playing two-man, they have everybody latched up and they leave a lane for the quarter back and he can run for those six or seven yards and keep the drive alive. I mean there's not a lot of plays that will get open on some of these coverages, some of the pass rushes with the stunts they open up some lanes and the quarterback has to utilize his legs from time to time to help the play caller out. He did huge two of those in the first half that kept the drive alive, so instead of three points on both those drives, we got seven and that's a big swing."
On maintaining the energy from today's game:
"We have to maintain focus in our energy and stay positive and move on into the next week. The biggest thing about this league with these young players and some veteran players is how you handle adversity because adversity will strike; we're not going to win every game. Also, we're not going to win every quarter. We're going to turn the ball over, we're going to give up a touchdown. We have to handle it, buckle down and make some plays ourselves. I think that's what we did, that's what I am most proud of the football team for today, we handled a really tough loss last week, and coming back here and jumping out and playing as hard as they did today was impressive."
On offense slowing down in the second half:
"I think the first drive we went three-and-out, another drive we blew a protection, we didn't get it up front, so we had to scramble and throw it away. Couple times they made some plays, you know Clay Matthews is a good player over there, they got some good players on that side of the football. They played some tight man-to-man that we weren't able to shake free in the pressure, got home on some third downs. It wasn't really 'til six or seven minutes or so until we were able to hit some run and we got that long drive going which helped seal the deal. You know that's going to happen from time to time, you get a lead like that, they're going to play hard, we're going to have to try to do a better job on converting on some third down in those situations."
On the defense's consistency and future improvements:
"I think we're going to get better, I feel like we got good players number one. You know Coach [Greg] Manusky and the defensive staff is doing a good job with these guys teaching them. Young secondary other than Josh [ Norman] and DJ [Swearinger Sr.] isn't really an old guy, think he is only 26 I believe it is. So, we have a pretty young secondary and Torrian Gray is doing a good job with those guys and then the young defensive linemen that played a lot of plays today. Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen played 90 percent of the snaps today, so we didn't take them out today and they played well. We got a chance to be pretty good. We got to continue to work and study our play book and adjust to the new team we have on our schedule and next week will be totally different with obviously Drew Brees than it was this week with Aaron [Rodgers]."
On OLB Clay Matthews' penalty:
"Well, I think we've watched as many videos as we can, but every week there seems to be another one that's a little bit questionable. That's not going to change, I don't think. We just have to continue to coach our guys and try to do the best we can to sweep the leg and make sure we don't put our bodyweight on the quarterback and don't lead with our head. That's the one thing we are trying to do. You know, it's exciting for those guys when they get back there and are able to hit the quarterback man. Going full speed, it's hard for them to adjust their bodies – these big guys, fast guys in a split second, but we are trying to do the best we can. Unfortunately, it's a critical penalty in some of these games that can hurt you."
On WR Josh Doctson:
"I think it's big. I think he had a couple big holding calls on him and that's going to happen. He gets in possession and they either hold him or the other guy's going to jump over your head. So, they chose the holding route and made some big conversions for us. He'll get some more opportunities. Second half we didn't get as many passes thrown, I think we probably only called four or five passes in the second half, but I think Josh will continue to progress and get better and better."
On the fumble challenge:
"Yes, James Rowe our assistant defensive back coach called that out for us and I was a little nervous when I first saw it. I kinda yelled a few words at him, but then it worked and I said great job James. Great job James."

James Spader Joins 'The Office'
NBC's fictional Dunder Mifflin took on a new chief in Thursday night's premiere episode of The Office as James Spader came in as the top boss, Robert California. While the show is unlikely to top the mega-ratings for Two and a Half Men, which also replaced its star this season, fans of The Office took to Twitter, making #theoffice a trending topic—not too shabby an achievement during a Republican debate. While some of them were unsure that Spader would fit into the Dunder Mifflin family, others described his performance as "epic" and "fantastic" or even just "an acquired taste."

Staff and wire report
Rootstown native Jessica Eye lost a heartbreaking split decision to Alexis Davis on Saturday night at UFC 170, held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
Eye seemed to get the better of Davis in the first two rounds before Davis came on strong in the third. However, Davis scored a takedown late in the first round, which apparently was the difference as Davis took two of three 29-28 scores.
Eye was dominant early, picking Davis apart standing in the fight's opening round, landing from distance and overpowering Davis in the clinch. Davis did score a takedown in the final minute, but couldn't do much with it.
The second round belonged to Eye as she continued to strike at will. The fight then hit the ground and Davis could do little more than cover up and ride out the majority of the round.
However, the fight changed dramatically in round three. Davis showed fire in the third round while Eye tired, with Davis convincingly winning the final round. Davis landed clean punches, but couldn't string together enough in a row to come close to finishing the fight.
Eye (10-2, 1 ND) was coming off a UFC 166 victory over Sarah Kaufmann, which was later overturned to a no-decision due to the presence of cannaboids in Eye's post-fight test.
Davis, meanwhile, (16-5) won her fifth consecutive fight.

The Brazilian government is negotiating for a Soviet loan to build a $250 million railway in the northeastern states of Pernambuco and Ceara, government officials said Tuesday.
A senior official in the Pernambuco state government, Marisa Figueira, told reporters by telephone from Recife: "The Soviet Union is interested in financing this railway, but no contract has been signed yet."
No comment was available from the Soviet Embassy in Brasilia.
Pernambuco officials said the 210-mile railway would link Petrolina in Pernambuco to Morada Nova in Ceara. It would transport agricultural produce such as soya.
Brazil has had difficulty securing foreign loans, partly because it suspended interest payments on its $70 billion foreign bank debt last February.
