Find information about Iowa Western Community College GRE test dates, and registering for discussion sections and department seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Iowa Western Community College graduate record examination information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Iowa Western Community College.
For multiple-choice tests like the GRE Test or GMAT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass. Beyond degree requirements such as Iowa Western Community College GRE Exam, you may consider Villa Maria College changing majors for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Nokia to Launch Symbian^4 in Upcoming Mobiles
Nokia, in order to re-engage and regain support of their Symbian-liking fans and customers has decided to create a smartphone, preferably a top-of-the-line N-series handset which would be running on Symbian^4 operating system. The decision to take this move has been taken keeping in view the ever decreasing customer base of Nokia's Symbian OS operated devices.
Nokia is releasing, in the near future, its latest N8 smartphone which will be the only device in the N-series operating on the Symbian^3 OS. Nokia is also developing an operating system in collaboration with Intel, named MeeGo, which aims towards the "computers of the futureâ€.
Nokia is sticking to Symbian as its preferred operating system platform despite poor choices in the recent past. This has led to a decrease in the Symbian fan base of the company who demand good software from the manufacturer. Recently, Symbian Guru, a popular Symbina-Nokia dedicated website was closed down by its owners stating the poor hardware choices made by Nokia to run Symbian OS on had them forced for taking the decision.

The Project Utilities are a great feature of UFT. You are probably okay with your info. One of the Utilities features is PACK. It permanently removes records that have been deleted from your project or library and reduces the total disk space used. UFT also rebuilds all the index files, which may also help save room. If you have any doubt, however, you might want to compare some of the project files of information for individuals you know, and see if it's all intact, etc. By the way, kudos to you ... it's good to hear that some people are so faithful in their backups!!!

Born Ready Icon collection
Words by Bossman75
This week I received some details about a fairly new brand to me, Born Ready, complete with images from their Icon collection look book for SS15. I was not a complete stranger to the brand, having recently seen the Basement x Born Ready limited edition t-shirt in the build up to Crepe City 2015 designed by our friend Rebel Yüth. He's lent his skilled hand once more, to what I consider the most interesting piece in the collection, with the character on the back of the 'Often Licked' t-shirt.
'We decided to take iconic logos and use them to tell the story of Born Ready in various ways. From the playfulness of the Baskin Robins themed t-shirt inspired old americana graphics to the twist of the famous Chanel logo, recognising our admiration for great designs. The collection builds on the hugely successful South London graphic we released last year, which makes a return in the white t-shirt and highly anticipated sweaters.'
It's becoming increasingly difficult to view a brand's look book without some degree of cynicism, like what can you possibly show me that I haven't seen a hundred times already this season alone? The key to a look book worth casting an eye over is the right balance of product representation and brand ethos in an original way, whilst not going completely off the reservation unnecessarily. Born Ready have done just that having shot the Icon collection look book around Soho and China Town, successfully capturing the youth and playfulness of the designs and brands that they reference. You can see and shop the full look book via their site HERE.

Purpose of the Needs Assessment
Cambridgeshire's Child Poverty Needs Assessment aims to identify where child poverty is concentrated, and how widespread it is amongst particular types of family or groups of people. It also aims to understand the factors which contribute to Child Poverty in Cambridgeshire. The Needs Assessment will be used as the basis for the development of a Child Poverty Strategy for Cambridgeshire, bringing together a range of statutory and voluntary agencies to plan coherent services which prevent or mitigate Child Poverty.
The Needs Assessment is not intended to be a comprehensive record of the analysis undertaken on Child Poverty, but aims to summarise the findings relevant to the direction of the Strategy.

Brought to you by UCLA Transportation
The Alt-Car Exp at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Fri and Saturday should be alot of fun for transit riders- there is a presentation by students from the students at the Pasadena Art Center working with BBB on the bus of thefuture!
And, you can use your BruinCard to get there for just 25 cents!
5 Big Blue Bus lines that service the Westside start and end at UCLA, and the Culver City bus (green bus) also has a few buses that come here. It's just 25 cents with your bruin card. If you are a frequent user of these two lines, you can buy a flash pass from the UCLA transportation website
It's easier than you think to get out of Westwood, so get out and enjoy L.A. while you're here!
I suspect my commute is a bit more complicated than average. I use 3(4) different transit services (Foothill Transit, MetroRail, Metro Rapid, Big Blue Bus) to get to UCLA. I use the EZ Pass (with a zone 3 sticker). That costs me $124 a month. Given how often I come in, it's not necessarily cheaper than paying the fares with cash, but it's far more convenient than counting quarters and dimes every day.
Does anyone know of a better discount than EZ Pass?
By the way, thinking about writing a LA Transit Commuter Companion iPhone app. If you a. have an iPhone and b. use the mass transit a lot in LA, what would you find useful in such an app? Bus schedules, of course. Route Planner? Bus arrival times? Points of interests? Some kind of fellow bus rider social network capability?
Hi Albert - are you saying you are thinking about writing such an app? That would be incredible!!!
I have the UCLA Flash Pass for the Big Blue Bus and Culver City Bus - it's awesome! I can the Super 12 to UCLA and arrive in about 30 min, which is much better than driving and paying for parking, and gas. I also signed up for Zipcar so when I need a car for an appointment throughout the day I can reserve one online and speed around town! Check out http://www.zipcar.com
@Diana: There is news from Apple developers community that "mass transit directions" will be available within Google Maps in the upcoming version of iPhone OS update (2.2). If that is true, and it does what I hope it does, and it services the LA area, then I won't have to write that app. Oohoo!!
In case the feature falls through, I'll move ahead with developing the app I described. Let's cross our fingers.
@Albert: You know what? I just got a BlackBerry (8330) and downloaded the Google Maps App, and there is acutally an option to get directions for transit! You enter your starting point and end point and can select to get driving directions, transit directions and WALKING directions, too!! I guess you're off the hook!!

Back in the "good old days" expectant fathers would sit in the waiting room with a fist full of cigars waiting to hear if it was a bouncing baby boy or girl. Now, fathers are in the delivery room videotaping, coaching and even missing games.
And not your recreation league games. Guys are missing actual professional games—games that could have an impact down the road.
Darin Erstad missed the opening of the Angels four-game series in Baltimore while his wife delivered the couple's first baby girl. Erstad, you are making millions of dollars, your daughter will understand if you weren't there for the birth. Give her a sweet 16 party to rival those entitled brats on MTV and all will be forgiven.
Seahawks running Shaun Alexander missed the first-half of a game with the St. Louis football team in 2003 while his wife had their first child. Alexander cut the umbilical cord and received a police escort on his way to the stadium. Sadly, the blimp did not show this footage of that. Although police escorts for NFL running backs have been done before.
Golfer Phil Mickelson said that he would miss a major if his wife were giving birth (though, he could have been needed for breast feeding so that is a bad example).
This phenomenon is getting out of hand. Maybe that is the reason that Shawn Kemp is no longer in basketball. He would likely miss 10 to 20 games each season for the birth of children.
It is time for athletes to make a change. Like it or not, athletes are role models. If they are going to take an active role in the birth of their children, what chance does the average Joe have? Instead of playing golf or poker during the delivery, he is going to be expected to be in the delivery room. Just kicking back in the waiting room drinking is not going to be acceptable. How the hell did guys let this happen?
It's athletes like Alexander, Mickelson and Erstad setting a bad example. These athletes need to realize that their bad habits are having a negative impact on society. If nothing else, think of the children.
Talk about it in The Hater Nation Forums. And be sure to boycott StubHub!

**Thank you to Dan of SurvivalSullivan for today's post! Be sure to check his site out here**
The purpose of this article is two-fold. On the one hand, the edible weeds I'm about to reveal to you have, indeed, so many health benefits it's not even funny.
The other reason is that these plants may very well be on your post-collapse urban diet. This isn't to say you won't find them outside cities but let's keep in mind that urban dwellers are going to have a very tough time finding food when it hits the fan.
That's the cool thing about these edible plants: you ca run into them in pretty much any green public space, so you don't have to venture too far away from your home and risk becoming the victim of angry mobs and gangs that will probably be ruling the streets.
Before we move on with the list, I want to assure you of two things…
First, all of the chosen edibles are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals. You literally cannot go wrong regardless of what you choose for your next salad. Second, all of these plants are low on calories so if you're looking to lose weight or simply want to feel better and more energized each day, this list is a great start, even though society hasn't broken down yet.
That being said, let's see our list of 5 urban edibles!
#1. Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale)
Wow, where should I start? Dandelions contain a plethora of micronutrients that are essential to your body. The dandelion greens in particular make one heck of a salad and for good reason: vitamins such as A, C, E, K, B1, B2, B6 and minerals like iron, potassium, magnesium are jam-packed in this very common plant that people don't even bother to look at when they step on it in open spaces, rushing to get to their jobs. With all these micronutrients, you can probably guess that the list of health benefits is huge, so I'm not gonna write all of them, just a few that are more important. Dandelions may help you against diabetes, acne, and anemia, they help you maintain good bone density, they keep your liver functioning properly and may be even effective against urinary issues.
Dandelions are also a great source of fiber which,
as you probably know, is great against constipation and… I saved the best for last: dandelions are rich in antioxidants which prevent free radical damage which can help slow down the aging process.
#2. Clovers
You can add them to your bean soup or baked beans or you can just pick them up, wash them and eat them raw. By far, the micronutrient that's most abundant inside clovers is manganese, and you also get decent quantities of magnesium, calcium and iron. Nope, I didn't forget the health benefits: they are effective against arthritis and respiratory infections, they improve digestion, they're used in dental care procedures and may even improve men's sexual stamina.
#3. The Common Mallow (Malva Sylvestris)
Mallow is yet another urban edible that you can throw into your salad but it can also be used to treat bronchitis, throat infections and even asthma. It's a good laxative and anti-inflammatory, it helps balance the pH levels in your stomach, helps restore damaged skin tissue, it's good against ulcers and, just like the dandelion and it's a great diuretic. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin A – these are all great and can be found in the common mallow.
#4. Chickweed (Stellaria media)
The thing about chickweed is to eat it while it is still young and still tastes great.
Wondering about the nutritional profile? Here goes: zinc, potassium, copper, magnesium vitamin C and many others, which "translate" into dealing with constipation, stomach aches, lung diseases and asthma. It's also a fantastic lotion to treat joint pain, and various skin conditions OR, if you want, you can just tie it inside a thin cloth and place it on your bathtub.
#5. Wild Garlic (Ramsons or Allium Ursinum)
Although many see it as a pest, the leaves of wild garlic make a very good soup. Only problem is, they look very similar to those of lily of the valley, which is highly poisonous despite the fact that it has a sweet scent. And that's the key to knowing the difference: when you crush a leave in-between your fingers, you will either smell garlic or that sweeter scent, so this is a sure way to tell the difference.
Well, those were it.
It's amazing to look back at the health benefits of these plants and see just how many illnesses they can help treat or alleviate… it's just mind-boggling. These benefits are definitely something to keep in mind. Want to learn about even more edibles? Check out this urban foraging article where you will also find my list of foraging rules that it's best to keep in mind when doing this activity on public property and how to tell which plants are poisonous and which aren't (we saw in the case of wild garlic that things aren't always easy).

I hope this is ok to post here. I don't feel like it really fits w/ TTC variety forms.
DH and I are too "exhausted" to continue to TTC after 4 losses. Its just to scary. With how many children exist who are waiting for loving families, we do not feel comfortable with many traditional fertility treatments (IUI, IVF, donor sperm and/or eggs). We do want to have another opinion to find out what could be going on. I feel like I have something going on physically with my body causing the m/c's. I just have a strong feeling that we can not carry a baby to term again. it is so hard to explain.
I feel like we are wasting the RE's time and energy, but by the same token I feel like we deserve some closure and answers. We both are content with adoption and prefer adoption. We've long since mourned the loss of a biological child, we just want closure and that security to continue moving forward.
I don't know, I feel very uncomfortable going to an RE when we have no intention of actually seeking treatment to become pregnant.

Blackberry picking was on the agenda. It is one of those jobs that doesn't wait for a time when you are ready. It is either pick them quickly or the birds have them. Today my three blackberry pickers brought me back enough for four jars of jam. And with only one or two scratches each, I'd say that's a good day picking blackberries.
They were gone for ages though and when I checked the camera, I could see why. Resting up and snacking on berries by the creek probably took more time than the actual fruit picking.
As you can see though it is mighty dry and brown in the paddocks. So hooray for this lovely rain.
I didn't make it down to the creek side to pick the berries, I was holed up in the kitchen dealing with zucchini. Making cakes and slices. I'll be grating some more tomorrow for fritters and zucchini burgers which are my favourite.

New York, NY 10002
All the drawings in Phantom are found images that have been assembled into a collection of pictures that are less about debunking the documentary myth of photography than they are about utilizing what is at hand to create a personal menagerie. While we understand that images are used to manipulate, the artist takes these images and alters them for his own pleasure. There is an interest in the nebulous nature of depiction that leads into a place of uncertainty. Among this batch of drawings are two derived from the same source image. One is a manipulation of details in a photo of Brazilian prisoners who have been corralled on the roof of a prison after a riot, and the second further reduces the same visual information and presents the subject as residual abstraction. The working process is very slow and a day's work often results in only a few inches of graphite on the paper's surface. There is a continual struggle with craft, and as the artist noted, "I will disavow my relationship with technique until the end."
Jerry Phillips lives in Little Rock, Arkansas and was born in Marshalltown, IA in 1958. He attended Florida State University, Tallahassee, for his BA, and California Institute of Arts for his MFA, 1993. He has made six solo exhibitions with Feature Inc., his first being in 1997.

Three Arrested In York As Heroin Supply Investigation Continues
6:35am 18th September 2013
North Yorkshire Police has arrested three people from South Yorkshire on suspicion of possessing heroin with intent to supply after stopping a vehicle in York.
Police say the blue VW Golf car was pulled over by officers from the Roads Policing Group on the A64 at Fulford at 5.20pm on Monday (16 September 2013) after noticing that the windscreen was cracked.
On speaking to the occupants of the car, the officers say they could smell what they believed to be cannabis so they carried out a search of the vehicle.
A large amount of uncut heroin was discovered, say North Yorkshire Police.
The three people, two men aged 23 and 26, and a 22-year-old woman who are all from Sheffield, were arrested and the car was seized, they add.
Following questioning in custody, the three were released on conditional police bail pending further enquiries, say officers.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for York CID.
If you would prefer to remain anonymous, please pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Paris in the springtime – some may say cliche but we say hooray. Our time here really could not have been more perfect. From our gorgeous apartment on the Ile Saint Louise we set off each day (under a perfectly cloudless blue sky) to explore this magnificent city. We have both been to Paris before so with our limited time, rather than beat a track to the big ticket attractions, we tried to find slightly less famous but no less magical options. Here are six of our favourites.
Pere Lachaise Cemetery
The largest cemetery in the city of Paris, Pere Lachaise is 'home' to tens of thousands. Touring a cemetery might sound kind of gruesome but we promise you, it's a very peaceful and beautiful place to spend a couple of hours. You can also do a bit of celebrity grave spotting with Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Oscar and Heloise, and Edith Piaf buried here.
Promenade Plantee
The original elevated railroad converted to a park that inspired the similar High Line in New York. April is a beautiful time of year to visit, with the cherry trees in full bloom – ahhhhh.
The Marais and Place des Vosges
The Marais has a very old and charming feeling. Cobblestone streets wind their way through area with gorgeous surprises around every corner. Our favourite place in the Marais is the Place des Vosges which is a beautiful garden square surrounded by arched arcades housing art galleries and restaurants (and the Cafe Pouchkin where we bought scrummy macaroons).
Canal Saint Martin
Where Amelie liked to skip stones (for anyone that's ever seen the movie). A cute artsy area of Paris where you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon eating a delish meal without the hustle and bustle.
A has written about the catacombs before in her post about her skull obsession. The bones of six million parisiennes transferred to tunnels twenty metres underground and arranged in patterns. Say no more.
Fascinting is the only way to describe this taxidermy (yes – we said taxidermy) shop in Paris. There's nothing else to say other than if you find yourself in Saint Germain des Pres then you must make your way to Deyrolle – you won't be disappointed.

In real life, I'm not a super chatty person, unless there is some kind of opinion involved. In that case, you better look out. I'm pretty sure I'm going to step on toes and stray into less than gracious territory. I could blame it on coming from a family of lawyers and parents that encouraged open ended dialogue; but when it comes down to kind speech or the lack thereof, I'm afraid I really can truly only blame myself. So, when I saw Karen Ehman's Keep It Shut: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at All, I knew this book would probably benefit me.
The trouble with speech is that we often speak before we think. It actually takes quite a bit of time to slow down and process what other people are saying and respond in a way that is edifying and helpful. When we write, there is the delete button, but it doesn't exist in speech. Once it's out there, you can't get words back. It is probably why so many of us need a little guidance in this area of life that we simply can't avoid. Ehman does an excellent job of covering this topic in both a broad and narrow fashion. The topics she covers include communicating with family and friends, gossip, your digital tongue, and people pleasing. But intermixed are more important skills and habits that lead to gracious words. As important as speech is, she balances that area with the ability to listen well and the time we spend renewing our minds. But, where do we find guidance in this critical area?
The ultimate guide book for life is God's Word, the Bible. Not surprisingly, it has a lot to say about our speech and the tongue. As it turns out, there is a direct correlation between time in the Word and what comes out of our mouths. Keep It Shut is simply packed with ideas on how to be more intentional in this area. Where does a busy mom find time to fit in time with God? What are the steps I need to think about before I open my mouth? What are some ways I can add positive speech to my day? These are just a few of the areas she covers. Full of inspiration, hope and stories, Ehman does a great job of providing guidance in a down to earth and humble way. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to gain more control of their words.

Ronan Keating will release his first album of original material in six years at the end of August.
Fires reunites Keating with former song-writing partners Greg Alexander and Rick Nowells, the team behind Life Is A Rollercoaster and Lovin' Each Day, for the first time since 2003.
Keating also worked with S Club 7 and Will Young producer Steve Lipson, Brian Rawlings and Limerick songwriter Don Mescall, plus new Swedish producers Electric and the writing team of Paddy Dalton & Mathias Wollo.
"The album is back to proper pop again." Keating says. "I've been working with the guys behind Life Is A Rollercoaster again. I've been spending my time getting this album just right and I'm excited about people hearing it."
The former Boyzone singer, who split with Yvonne, his wife of 14 years, earlier this year, has released three albums of covers over the past few years including Songs For My Mother, Winter Songs and When Ronan Met Burt, his shock collaboration with master songwriter, Burt Bacharach.
Keating's debut feature film Goddess premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year and he continues to be a judge on the Australian X Factor.

I may have made this suggestion in an earlier blog post, but I'm not sure and don't want to hunt through all my old blog entries looking for it.
This site should not allow ETFs to be rated as if they were individual stocks. Or they should have ".etf" added to their ticker symbols to save time for people like me who are not intersted in them.

Custom Bike - 6~8 weeks
Bike Repair - 1 week
August 2005
Just thought I'd let you and the crew know how I did on the Mt Washington Hill Climb race, the highest point in the eastern U.S.
I finished 4th in my age group and the bike worked flawlessly on the combined dirt and asphalt 7.6 mile 4727 ft climb. As far as I could tell, I had the only Rodriguez in the race. There were several Bike Fridays, and I left them in the clouds, well behind. Most of the racers were on stripped down ultralight road bikes. My finishing time was 88 minutes, just a little behind Tyler Hamilton's 52 minutes.
The Ultimate Travel Bike may not be the perfect {racing} machine, weighing a bit more {at 23 lbs} than my carbon Trek 5900, but it made traveling to New Hampshire a breeze, and the set-up and take down are easy after you do it a few times. I am planning a repeat visit for the 2006 race, and hope to win my age group next year.
The 1 inch road tires worked great, and the gearing also worked out well, as I needed the 28-32 combo for the 22% grade at the finish. See enclosed photo.Sincerely,

For that, I am honored to take part in creating artistic outlets for the future of music"

International Monetary Fund First Deputy Managing Director, John Lipsky, in a speech at the Depository Trust and Clearance Corporation Executive Forum commented (27-Sep-2010) that the IMF is anticipating a continued "moderate global recovery", driven by growth in emerging economies, but added that "growth has slowed in this year's second half" with this sluggishness to persist into early 2011. He continued: "The global expansion likely will fall somewhat short of the 3.75% annual rate that we had anticipated previously for the second half of this year." [more - Speech]
IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn stated that while the global economy is recovering at a sluggish pace, the recovery remains uncertain due to the risk that not enough jobs will be created to make the rebound secure (Associated Press, 29-Sep-2010). Mr Strauss-Kahn stated he is optimistic about the outlook for the US, adding that the IMF does not see the risk of a double-dip recession, adding that Asian and Latin American economies are doing well but prospects for some European countries remain uncertain, adding that some countries, particularly Ireland, Spain and Portugal "were not at the edge of a cliff but still have serious fiscal issues they have to address". Mr Strauss-Kahn added that he sees no major danger of an escalation of currency devaluations as countries seek to boost economic growth, commenting: "I don't feel today there's a big risk of a currency war, but that's part of the downside risks." (Bloomberg/AFP, 29-Sep-2010) He said Europe is over-represented on the IMF Board and should make room for emerging countries such as Turkey to help maintain the institution's legitimacy (Dow Jones, 29-Sep-2010).

Debate over health care is raging, and droves of scared white people are up in arms.
So, here is my five cents: Obviously, there is a big, big resistance from the Republican base, i. e. from white people against the Obama health care plan and government health care in general. So, why not compromise and start with a nationalized health system only for black, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern and Native American people?
If whites want to follow eventually, that can be implemented in a second step some years down the road. No need to rush someone. And white people who want health care can always marry someone who has.
No need to thank me

May be everything only a genetic issue but I think that girls are weaker than boys, more susceptible to hormonal changes, they have less muscular mass.. gravity force may find less resistance in much of them.. I believe that boys with scoliosis probably are also weaker, with less muscular mass, less resistant.. I suppose it should to be known if it's true or not.

Funfetti Candy Birthday Cake
Tags: birthday cake, cake, dessert
My Funfetti Candy Birthday Cake makes your birthday boy or girl so happy!!
I made this little individual Funfetti Candy Birthday Cake for some of my boys friends and it turned out so cute I just have to share it with you. It was so easy to put together, trust me I am no cake decorator! You'll need some 4-6 inch cake pans and the rest is easy!
I gathered up some of the kids favorite candy bars, candy and cookies to create a "wow" you made that for me? kind of cake 🙂
Prep time: 30 min | Cook time: 20-25 min | Total time: 1 hour
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 large Eggland's Best Eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup melted chocolate
- snack size candy bars such as Hershey Bars, Crunch Bars, Kit Kat Bars, Snickers
- 10 Pixie Sticks
- 4 Dum Dum Suckers
- 2 ring pops
- 4 Oreo Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray four 4-6-inch cake pans generously with cooking spray.
- Place cake mix, eggs, milk, oil, and sprinkles into a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined then pour into prepared cake pans, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick comes clean when placed in centers of cake. Remove and let cool completely.
- Place condensed milk and peanut butter into a small bowl, mixing until well combined.
- The four cakes will make 2 individual birthday cakes. Place 2 cakes onto separate serving plates. Spread peanut butter layer on top of each. Top with 2nd cooked cake. drizzle melted chocolate over each other cakes. Arrange how you'd like the candy bars, pixie sticks, suckers, ring pops and cookies. See photos for any help. Let chocolate set up and serve room temperature.

Turn that Frown Upside Down
Do the changing of the leaves and the longer nights make you SAD? if you consider yourself to have Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, I suggest taking quality omega-3 fatty acids, more protein and minerals. Omega Nutrition is a Dr. Bob "Approved" brand that supplies our omega oils.
What should you avoid, so you're not SAD?
I would avoid food items that remove minerals from the body. Sugar commonly depletes the body of essential minerals. You may wonder why you need minerals? Minerals, especially zinc, are necessary to assist the body in the creation of a long-chain fat called DHA. DHA is needed for optimal brain health.
I would also avoid foods and beverages that compromise liver health. You may ask:
"Dr. Bob, I did not realize there are items and products that do that?"
Any artificial ingredient in any food or beverage needs to be neutralized. The liver is responsible for all elimination of toxic items. Food colorings commonly found in almost all processed foods need to be processed so as not to create harm!
If you have had SAD for a long time, I would suggest starting to apply the castor oil pack on your right mid-abdomen. The castor oil pack will assist the liver in performing optimally.
No matter the season, make sure you have enough minerals. Celtic Sea Salt used optimally on all foods would help. I am also suggesting taking up to 150 mg of B6 daily. B6 helps the body create DHA. I would also focus on B vitamins. Your nervous system needs B vitamins to assist DHA production that will prevent you from "raw nerves".

NEW YORK [The East-West Writer] –The New York Times continuous to drown email servers and social network channels in Spam, Spam, NY Times Spam. Not subscribing, eh? The New York Times is going to carpet-spam-bomb you for the rest of your internet existence!
RELATED Spam, spam, New York Times spam – Why is the NY Times sending us junk?
Cheap, cheap, cheaper offers; best offer, exclusive offer, last day offer, and for that for weeks, months, three years (since I watch this attack)! You may recall those lame 00′ ethics debates about unsolicited spam, spam bots, mass mailings, email harvesting, sales and emails spam? Back last century, spam was considered so bad, so so scoundrel and bad. In reality, of course, everyone did spam, ESPECIALLY THE BIG CORPORATIONS. Fake media worst hypocrite: The New York Times is right there on spamountain at spamtop.
RELATED Spam Spam, New York Times Spam. Freaks me out! Here's why…
No other propaganda racket in history spams it like the New York Times. The fake media changes spam text, spam headers, spam images according to your geographical location, time of the day, and breaking news. I may be paranoid, but they probably also know how you're feeling today. You know that the old saying is true: If a spam is repeated often enough…
Unhinged Spamperialism
Here's "Support the Real News" (as opposed to "fake news" which the New York Times is known for):
Horrifying to imagine that 1,00+ corporate press soldiers looking for ways to indoctrinate you, fake polls that confirm their liberal bias, destabilize foreign countries and keep the populations anxious and fearful (because that will generate sells):
Aside from New York Times spam attacks on Twitter and Facebook, the New York Times will also spam your email box about twice a week, EVERY WEEK:

Most business classes in the world probably teach you that spam mailing and spam sales and email spamming are evil, disgusting, dishonest, and above all… profitable!!! That's because spam operational costs are low and email harvesting is dirt cheap. Those business classes should also teach you that the NY Times is one of the worst offenders:

Last Friday I had a post about the Justice Department's dismissal of a public corruption case against New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. The AP reported that sources within Justice said the investigation had been killed in Washington. More evidence of that possibility comes from a letter sent by the U.S. Attorney in New Mexico, Gregory Fouratt, who is not an Obama political appointee, but a career lawyer appointed by the federal judges in his circuit to fill the vacancy in the U.S. Attorney's office.
Advertisement – story continues below
The purpose of the letter was to notify Richardson and his political donor, a company called CDR, that the "United States will not seek to bring charges." But the letter goes on to say that CDR and its officers "made substantial contributions to Governor Richardson's political organization during the time that the company sought financial work" with the state government and "pressure from the governor's office resulted in the corruption of the procurement process so that CDR would be awarded such work." The notification letter "is not to be interpreted as an exoneration of any party's conduct."
This is a very unusual letter, as anyone who has worked at the Justice Department can tell you. If one takes the innocent view, it could mean that Fouratt was telling the defendants that he knows they acted corruptly and illegally but they just got by with it because he does not have quite enough evidence to go to a jury with, but he is keeping his eye on them.

Oh, happy day! I have the most wonderful friends/relatives ;) They have saved me from my loving children. The boys are with Ange and the girl is with Cathy - wahoooooo!!! I have work to be done, so this will be quick.
I have a scrap supply party this Sunday and have lots of cleaning/organizing to do. Who didn't know I wasn't done yet? Not enough time in the day and too much time on the internet. It's really coming along now.
Volleyball started last night and has hence reaffirmed my desire to lose a couple pounds (to put it mildly). I have no problem actually moving around, it's the breathing in my tight shorts that gets me. So, it's time to practice what I preach to my dearly beloved 10 year old regarding eating. I did give up Monday night volleyball for the main reason of not wanting to take that time away from my DH.
Here's a layout of Nick when he was three using one of Becky Fleck's sketches AND the October kit from The Scrapping Spot.
Until next time, People!

New version of Sober worm pretends to be an email from FBI or CIA
Internet users are being warned of an in-the-wild worm which is pretending to be an email from an FBI or CIA investigator.
In the last four hours, the worm has accounted for over 35% of all viruses reported to Sophos, making it currently the most prevalent virus spreading across the world. The FBI is so concerned about the messages that it has issued a warning on its website.
The new version of the Sober worm arrives as an email attachment, with the following message body:
Dear Sir/Madam,
We have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites.
Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached.
Yours faithfully,
Steven Allison
Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI-
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW , Room 3220
Washington , DC 20535
Phone: (202) 324-30000
(Sometimes the emails claim to come from the same investigator, but at the CIA.)
Anyone gotten an e-mail from an intimidating government agency lately? -Trip

Say hello to Jen, the new gal of TLV Birdie Portraits. For the very first time while playing with these makeup fun portrait series I am taking courage to face (well, literally) a real person who is a THAT creative muse, THAT real source of motivation to push the boundaries and bring more self humor into this way-too-overthinking-the-simple-things-world. Jen Gotch, founder of Shopbando and the girl-boss inspiration behind this portrait, is that lady that makes you forget about all the possible prejudice you might have about PINK, and anything that may stop you on the way to having some real fun! That lady that I would love to meet one day and to share a very pink drink with!
Here's some pink makeup inspiration for you, birdies :
- gaze the world with confidence – Eyeko Visual Eyes Liquid Eyeliner will become your best friend from the very first try, I am so addicted to it! I've already told you about the Mocha shade in this post, today I am focusing your attention on Ebony, the blackest of all black shades!
- PINK all the way – Eros shade of Lipstick Queen Cupid's Bow* lip crayon is the loveliest pink craze ever happen to me! Ode to another gorgeous shade of Cupid's Bow – Ovid – in this post. These lip colors really make me want to experiment nonstop!
- long curly lashes are on your to do list? I am seriously in love with Lola Lash mascara from Antonym Cosmetics, this is the star of my major story about Antonym natural makeup.
- the easiest way to create tempting pink cheeks on the go is to apply Tata Harper Volumizing Lip&Cheek Tint in Very Charming shade* that is a truly brilliant product by all parameters, and yes, it can be also used on the lips! Pink as a candy, 100% natural and nontoxic! I've previously shared some quick thoughts on a number of Tata Harper products here.
- if this is too much pink for y'all, here's a light pink tip – Kari Gran Mineral Blush is for those cotton candy colored cheeks that would suit me (neutrals lover) and all of you who want to bring just a bit of pink to your life, and face. Full review on Kari Gran mineral makeup here.

Registrant Information Validation
The goal of CIRA's Office of Compliance is to support the organizational mission, to provide safe, secure and trusted domain name services as a key public resource for Canadians.
Compliance programs, such as the Registrant Information Validation Program are designed to ensure all parties meet their contractual obligations within the requirements of their individual agreements and within CIRA's Policies, Rules and Procedures.
We also work to identify and assist any non-compliant parties.
What is RIV?
CIRA's Registrant Information Validation (RIV) is a compliance program. The .CA domain space is a key public resource for all Canadians. The people and organizations that register .CA domain names must meet with CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements Policy for Registrants. It is CIRA's responsibility to ensure all .CA Registrants meet the requirements outlined in the policy.
Through RIV, CIRA regularly reviews domain registrations to ensure Registrants, those who have a .CA domain name(s), can demonstrate their connection with Canada in one of 18 categories outlined in the Canadian Presence Requirements policy.
Through the RIV process, CIRA may request documentation from .CA Registrants to validate compliance with the policy.
The RIV Process
CIRA initiates this process to ensure that those who have registered a .CA domain name comply with our Canadian Presence Requirements, can demonstrate their connection with Canada, and if so, that the Registrants have registered under the appropriate category. Selection for validation is at CIRA's discretion. Once the process begins, we will apply locks to your domain(s) ensuring they cannot be transferred or updated. During the process, all notices and communications are sent to the Administrative Contact and or the Registrant (if the email address is not the same).
We will endeavour to review your supporting documentation within one business day and respond back via email, confirming our decision regarding your compliance with our Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants Policy.
First Notice – The initial notice is sent at the beginning of the process. This is a request for you to provide supporting documentation to demonstrate your compliance with CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants policy.
Second Notice – This will be sent ten business days after the first notice. It is a reminder that CIRA has requested you to provide documentation supporting your compliance with Canadian Presence Requirements. You will have 5 more business days to submit your documentation before your domain is suspended.
Third Notice – This is sent five business days after the second notice to inform you that we haven't received the supporting documentation requested. It will advise that your domain will be suspended for up to 30 days. While your domain is suspended, your website and email will not function. During this period you can still submit the requested supporting documentation for CIRA's consideration. If CIRA has not received your supporting documentation within the 30 day suspension period, your domain will be cancelled and made available to the public for registration on a first come, first-served basis.
Fourth Notice – The final notice is sent 30 days after the third notice to confirm that CIRA has canceled your domain.
Compliance Decision
Our compliance decision can come at any time during the process. Once CIRA has received your supporting documentation, it will be reviewed to ensure it supports the Registrant's information and Canadian Presence Requirement category. If you are compliant, CIRA will send email confirmation that validation has been approved and remove all domain locks. If you are not compliant, CIRA will comfirm by email that validation was not approved. The correspondence will also confirm the date that your domain name(s) will be cancelled.

The Mississippi river is a enormous river. Its tributaries stretch from Montana to Pennsylvania. Here is a map:
The Mississippi water basin is the third largest in the world and it all drains into the ocean in Louisiana. This is a picture of the gigantic water shed that goes into Canada.
The Mississippi is a beautiful river that supports many riverside towns. But there are also dangers.
The Mississippi River… If you've ever seen it, you would probably picture it big, serene, and calm. Most people do. But sometimes that beautiful river, the one that covers half the U.S.A., floods. In 1927, the river did just that. The main reason was the rain that started in the summer of 1926. The floods that started on Christmas Day, 1926 went over all the levees and flooded parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. That flood was the most destructive river flood in the history of the U.S.A. The Mississippi has its dangers, but its advantages often outweigh the problems. The fishing and cheap, easy to get water makes this a prosperous land, and its amazing wildlife makes the land beautiful.
Around the waters, many animals thrive, invasive species as well as native. Fish, algae, deer, beavers, snakes, turtles, snakes, and even bears live contentedly on its banks. The Mississippi also has a rich history. It has had steamers chugging on it, wars fought on its surface, and many a great dam blocking its flow. The earliest people here were the American Indians. They lived here until the first explorers came here in the mid 1500's . Those explorers were Spanish and they gave Spain control of the southern Mississippi until the French kicked them out. They owned that area until Napoleon sold the Louisiana property. Then the US colonized the area.
The Mississippi became an easy way to transport goods, supplies, and people. Then, in the Civil War, the Confederate Army used it to transport supplies. Many Union and Confederate ships fought against each other on this river and against forts along the Mississippi's banks. The Mississippi was in the middle of the Confederate states and, once it was conquered, the Union army, which was led by Ulysses Grant, had an irreplaceable advantage that helped them win the war.
The Mississippi River basin is a giant watershed that covers half the US. Many people use it in their daily lives for work, for fun, and even for transportation. The Mississippi is a beautiful river that has run for generations and has helped humankind since the time of Native Americans. We must care for it, or it may not be there for the generations to come. We can keep garbage out, reduce water pollution, and take care of the animals on its banks.

When Ugg boots became fashionable in London Mum wasn't instantly convinced. Admittedly it was their coupling with skinny jeans that caused me the most concern. However, over the years Uggs have grown on me and since living in Sydney I am truly sold on the warmth and comfort benefits. There's also the fact that in and around Sydney it's hard to walk a few paces without passing an Ugg shop.

When Megan-Anne and I started putting together a list of mad scientists back in September of 2014, our youngest sister flipped out:
"You have to include Hange Zoe. If you love me at all, you'll put the Wings of Freedom on the blanket."
Her declarations were met with blank stares and a resounding, "huh?" Then, our sister's face turned a special shade of purple as she commandeered the PS3 remote and switched Netflix over from Supernatural to Attack on Titan.
I'm going to be honest. Before that moment, the anime had been collecting dust in my Netflix queue for some time. As someone who can't sit on the couch without a project in her lap, I don't watch shows with subtitles. So, it was a surreal experience to actually recognize all of the characters by their faces and not just their voices.
Hange Zoe (or Hanji Zoe, depending on how you cut it) is a squad leader in the Survey Corps, and easily my favorite character in the entire show. She comes off as a hyperactive, overly emotional person, but Hange is driven by a passion few understand. While everyone else is busy being terrified of the titans or hating them, she sees the titans from a different perspective. Hange Zoe is like a tween girl at a boy band concert when it comes to titans; she loves them.
While many find her eccentric view of them as disgusting or a crime against humanity, Hange Zoe is busy thinking outside the box. She performs zany experiments on captured titans to further her research. And while her methods oftentimes terrify bystanders, a good percentage of what humanity knows about titans actually comes from her research. Basically, she's another misunderstood mad scientist.
If you've never watched or heard of Attack on Titan and Hange Zoe, the anime is not for the feint at heart. Just about everyone dies in the most soul crushing way. Every time you think it can't possibly get worse, it does. You're like, "Gee. Maybe now things will turn around and the humans might actually have half a second to be happy?" No. That fleeting moment is all they get.
Still, I totally love it.
Whether you're knitting, crocheting, or cross stitching this square, you can download the Hange Zoe pattern here. Instructions for both knit and crochet are listed in the pattern. When you're finished making it, don't forget to tweet or instagram your squares at me @jac_attacking or Megan-Anne @Doctor_Llama with the hashtag #geekalong!
If you're having trouble with double-sided knitting, we have a how-to video here and a tutorial on crochet here. Want to hang out with other people making the blanket? You can find moral support in the Geek-A-Long group on Ravelry here.
~ Jac
I can call the titans giant-naked-man-baby-dolls if I want to, Megan-Anne.
