I interviewed at Oracle (Quincy, MA) in September 2015.
Interviewed with Natima Fisher and was complete disgusted by how incomplete this person was. We were interviewing in different time zones and Natima couldn't get the times correct for the life of her. I even put both our time zones on everything. To make matter worse once she screws up the time, so ignores your emails. End result is all normal and professional people will be turned off and away.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Redwood City, CA) in February 2009.
Brutal. The initial interview steps (phone conversation with manager, tech screen on phone, in-person meeting with manager) was easy (too easy, imho), and offer step was fine, but then it took nearly a month to get final approval for the position (it has to be approved at every level of management, even up to Larry Ellison!).
Interview Questions
Compensation offered was substantial. Don't be afraid to ask for additional PTO allowance.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (San Francisco, CA) in July 2008.
Had a professional releationship with group before the position was open. Internal transfer
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6+ months. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru (India)) in April 2013.
written, 3 rounds, no hr round, only technical rounds
(Please do not ask me to write atleast 30 words on Hiring and Interview process, because it was easy as hell) No aptitude, no behavioral round, just the skill set, this shows they don't want people with other soft skills. Next time hire a god damn donkey.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru (India)) in January 2012.
at first there was an online exam and the results were out after almost a month. the interview section consisted of a technical interview first,and those who cleared it were good to go through for the h.r interview. for me the tech was the best one i have ever had i was really having a good time and it lasted almost 40 minutes. i must say it was part tech n part hr. the last hr interview was however not so good, it was very short and the interviewer didn't seem to pay much attention to what i was saying. either way at the end of the day everything worked out and here i am :)

"My husband has a high sex drive but I've lost interest. What should I do?"
My husband has a high sex drive, but I've lost interest over time. I'm sick of him hassling me but I also want him to be satisfied and I don't like saying no all the time!
It's usual for your sex drive to fall over time in a long-term relationship, but it's also possible to kick-start things. Start by compromising. He decides on the least amount of sex per fortnight he'd be happy with; you decide on the most often you'd be willing to do it.
Then you choose the number in the middle of the two. Do it even if you're not madly keen - having sex boosts your sex drive to make you want more. Also remember that sex doesn't always mean intercourse, just some type of sexy encounter.

While funny, the film is quite cheesy. Wilson and Vaughn are a great combo, as always, but it's not enough to carry the whiole film.
This was a cute and fun movie. I like that they included quirky little things that google is known for, like their little nap pods, while also having an interesting plot line.
The Internship was surprisingly good. It was very funny, and an interesting look at behind the scenes of Google (if that's really what it's like). It really portrays what it's like in the real world when faced with stereotypes about age. It's not just young people that are hip! I definitely recommend checking this movie out.
After old-school salesmen Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) find themselves downsized, Billy decides that, despite their complete lack of technological savvy, they should work for Google. The friends somehow manage to finagle internships at the Internet giant and promptly head out to Silicon Valley. Viewed with disdain by most of their fellow interns, Billy and Nick join forces with the rest of the misfit "nooglers" to make it through a series of competitive team challenges.
An interesting behind the scenes look at the highly competitive world that lies behind the closed doors of Google. Billy and Nick have the gift of the gab and manage to get themselves within the inner sanctum of the tech world. They are going to prove that they are worthy of these jobs if it's the last thing they do. Their life and work skills will come into play. Teamwork will be the key strategy to make their dream job become a reality.

Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo, the ex-wife of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo has unveiled her plan to float a new political party with the name, Abundant Blessing Congress, ABC. According to her, the establishment of the party is a divine assignment given to her by God for the rescue of Nigeria from sadistic powers.
She made this known in an interview with The Sun while explaining her interest in floating a new political party instead of finding accommodation in existing platforms.
Her words:
"I have a divine assignment from God to come out with something like this. It has a divine agenda. What is the divine agenda? What is the agenda? It is to create a selfless platform for people to come together and become the custodian, part and parcel towards rebuilding this nation.
"We shouldn't leave it to only the government of the day to run. It is going to be a kind of shadow government, that will also externalise itself in all that they want to do for the nation.
"The Abundant Blessing Congress will also be internalizing what they want to do and that's what we are going to externalize in the nation. That's why I said we shall have a shadow government, because right now, what we have doesn't make me happy."

Taiwo Obasanjo said the party is yet to be registered with INEC and made it clear that she was not a voice for the former president, rather, she said, 'I am a voice for the Almighty God'.
"She added that her position as a mother makes it natural for her to play her own part to ameliorate the suffering of her family when she sees her children going through pain therefore, 'what we are trying to do is a family affair, a family platform'.

Stating in specific terms what her platform is trying to do differently she explained that it would be a platform where men and women would come together and enjoy an opportunity to go into any elective office, adding that she has no intention of forward for any elective office.
She said:
"I, Taiwo Obasanjo will not be seeking an elective office but my members can. The party is hinged on three S: selfless sacrifice, selfless service and the third is selfless submission, saturated with self discipline and accountability. Selfless service is about serving people not with the motive of money. When we talk about self discipline, even if you come, it is a conservative party, but open to suggestion, open to improvement."

Outdoor capital of Scotland
Comfortable, cosy and beautifully equipped, the four star, self catering lodges are located eight miles south of Fort William, a.k.a. the Outdoor Capital of Scotland.

Hawaii's Endemic Species
Scuba diving in Hawaii means you are assured of seeing species you have never seen before. Because of Hawaii's isolation in the Pacific, a high percentage of species are endemic, meaning they are found only here. Currently about 23% of the fish, 20% of the mollusks, 18% of the algae (OK, so we won't elaborate on the algae) and about 20% of the corals are considered endemic. These numbers are constantly changing as species thought to be found only in Hawaii are discovered elsewhere, and as opinions vary concerning when a population is different enough to be considered a separate species. Although these endemic percentages might not sound high, they are high by marine animal standards. Here is what is in store for you:
According to Dr. Jack Randall, 23% of the fish species in Hawaii are unique to the Hawaiian Islands. This can be not-so-exciting as in the case of the Red Hawaiian Lionfish (Pterois sphex), because a very similar species, the Spotfin Lionfish (Pterois antennata), is found in Indonesia and other Indo-Pacific areas.
Or it can be very exciting as in the case of the spectacular Flame Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus jordani) which is very different from its Indo-Pacific relatives.
Even more remarkable is the chubby little Bandit Angelfish (Apolemichthys arcuatus), which has no known relative anywhere in the world. This means that the species from which it evolved no longer even exists!
Endemic species result when the larvae of a particular species arrive in Hawaii and then tens or hundreds of thousands of years pass without another infusion of such larvae. During that time these individuals have only each other to breed with. Their gene pool changes over time, influenced by the local conditions, and eventually they become different from the original ancestor species.
In 1992 we witnessed one step in this process. Up until July of 1992 only two species of sergeant were known from Hawaii – the Blackspot Sergeant and the Hawaiian Sergeant (Abudefduf abdominalis). Then one day at Molokini we noticed juveniles of a third species, the Indo-Pacific Sergeant (Abudefduf vaigiensis), a species never previously seen in Hawaii. We were witness to a group of larvae of a particular species that had run the gauntlet of time and adverse conditions and had arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. It is thought that our Hawaiian Sergeant evolved from this Indo-Pacific Sergeant, but they have both changed so much that they are now considered separate species.
Dr. Alison Kay estimated from the current number of marine mollusk species found here that a new marine mollusk may have successfully colonized the Hawaiian Islands on average only once every 13,000 years! Of course, the majority of species capable of colonizing Hawaii would have done so early in the Hawaiian Islands' formation when there was an explosion of new habitats to colonize, with species less capable of colonizing trickling in by chance later on.
Of the roughly 1,300 currently-recognized species of shelled marine mollusks in Hawaiian waters, about 20% of the species and sub-species are considered to be endemic. Some beautiful examples are the Tiger Cowrie (Cypraea tigris schilderiana) and the subspecies of the Cat-tongue Oyster (Spondylus gloriosus).
Aside from the Banded Spiny Lobster (Panulirus marginatus), most of Hawaii's endemic crustaceans are rarely seen by divers due to their nocturnal habits and/or small size. One of these, Laurent's Hermit Crab (Calcinus laurentae), is only 5 mm in carapace length.
Within the crustaceans, different groups have different endemic percentages. The snapping shrimp species for instance are 40% endemic!
Hawaii diving is interesting in so many ways, from the volcanic topography to the combination of animals that have colonized Hawaii to the species that can be found only here. Diving here is like no place else on earth.


text: You guys gave me lots of food for thought with regards to my sitauation with my list and husband. Just got back from a wonderful weekend with my family back home and had a couple of "things" happen that I wanted to bring back...my thoughts on them, and family's thoughts on them were very different...would like your take, if you don't mind. easy child 2 has started wetting her pants. I am very concerned about why, but also about keeping my house from stinking and laundry from molding. Back in Oct was the first time I confirmed it was happening, but still don't know why. She had taken a pair of my pants she borrowed and wet in, wadded them up, and stashed them. husband told her then that she needed to deal with it - wash them out, let someone know, something. She did it again this morning. Today's incident was purely waited too long to go. Happened in the kitchen. I knew it when it happened but said nothing. She went to the bathroom and changed and took the wet clothes and wadded them up inside clean, dry clothes in her suitcase, and left them. I confirmed it, found a soaked pair of undies, damp sleep pants, and wet socks (the sleep pants were very baggy so most didn't get on those...). I told husband. He did nothing. An hour or so later, I told him he needed to handle it. He asked easy child if she needed to take care of her clothes. She said no. He asked if she needed to do some laundry, again, she said no. He asked if she wet herself. She said no. Later, when I asked if it was dealt with, he said she said there wasn't a problem. So I sent him to find the clothes. He came back and said they were just damp (6 hours later). I said DUH...its been 6 hours and they're wrapped in dry flannel. Of course, more was damp, now, but nothing was soaking anymore. He wasn't goign to do anymore. Later, I pulled him aside and asked him if , way back when, he told her to deal with her peed in clothes or not. He said yes he did. I asked him if she'd dealt with them. He said no she hasn't. I said fix it. He told her he knew she wet her pants and she needed to wash them and nothing more was said. Scenario 2. husband got pulled over for speeding. easy child 2 was in the back seat. She sat up on the edge of the seat, turned around backwards, and looked at the approaching patrolman. I got onto her to turn around. husband scowled at me. When he got back in the car, he was unphased about the ticket. The cop reduced it to 10 over the limit. Wee difficult child was anxious about it. The last time anyone got pulled over it was because he took off his seatbelt and stood up in the backseat at a stoplight with a patrolman behind us. He thought this time was his fault, too. He was afraid husband was goinig to jail. Just worried in general, and able to say so. With anxiety rising, he started wiggling and singing. 15 miles down the road, I asked him to stop. He didn't. I asked him again, or to sing quietly. He started singing "I'm sorry", but very loud. husband SLAMMED on the brakes, whipped the car to the shoulder, turned around, and SCREAMED at difficult child to do what he was told. The brake slam would have been sufficient, but difficult child quieted and went to sleep. *** My fam witnessed these. Their take and mine was very different. Given my feeling that the "team" is missing....any thoughts?

Hello from Day two of the Susan G Komen 3 Day for the Cure! A very wet and soggy day two. Holy moly. The skies opened up last night and it hasn't really let up since. A few breaks now and then, but all in all it has rained. And rained. And rained.
Mindy and I decided to call it quits at lunch when we were both soaked to the bones and shivering so hard our teeth made noise. This was the 10 mile mark. While I am bummed that I can't say I walked all of day two, I am very proud of what I've accomplished so far. I walked 20 miles yesterday and 10 today. And the 10 today sure felt like the 20 yesterday since we were rained on the whole time.
Wow, that sucked.
But, the support and spirit of the people along the route never wavers. Not even in the rain. It's absolutely amazing.
I didn't get as many pictures today because, well, it was wet and I didn't want to ruin my phone. And my fingers were frozen so I couldn't push the right buttons anyways. But here are a couple of my favorite:
First thing this morning heading out to the gates to start our quest. It was pouring!
Really? Are you sure? I didn't think 4000 people constituted "many."
So tonight the American Massage Therapist Association is in the Energizer® tent giving out free massages to the walkers. They all donate their time to this event and they are wonderful! I had my massage from Melissa and I think I am in love with her *swoon* After carrying a backpack for two days, your shoulders and neck are sore. So now it's just one less pain to worry about for the night.
So there is the recap from day two. I am heading out to get some dinner now and hear Candy Coburn perform the 3 Day for the Cure "anthem," Pink Warrior. I posted the song here, listen to it. It's pretty great.
I'll be back tomorrow with more!

To me the bigger size with bigger hardware shows off the leather. 2. I ordered the gris fonce jumbo. Hopefully it will arrive next week. 3. I went to Chanel boutique to return the white GST with gold h/w because I was annoyed that I was charged $1,895 and the tag said $1,750. (don't care that the price IS $1,895. It's insulting!) The manager, Matthew, was so sweet! He immediately said 'Why don't I return some money to you instead of you returning the bag?" He refunded the $145 and honored the $1,750. I was stopped on the street (yes!!) by people complimenting my candy apple red patent leather Chanel (an eBay buy). Talk about a head turner! If this wasn't enough, NM also finally had a O/S YSL muse in patent leather after months and months! I exchanged a medium. So here's a pic of the 3 Chanel bags!

Weekend wrapup
How was your weekend?
Re: Weekend wrapup
It was okay. DH and are fighting a lot, because this whole finding a new job/moving before he has a job thing is stressing us both out. And Arthur has decided to just be cranky and scream at the top of his lungs all the time. It was a LONG weekend.
We did manage a couple fun things. We watched The Desolation of Smaug as a family, we went to see the Easter Bunny, we enjoyed the clearance blowout at Toys R Us and Arthur attended a birthday party at a gymnastics place and got to go in a bounce house for the first time!
Re: Weekend wrapup
We had a wonderful weekend! :)

In the flurry of activity surrounding the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget, it might be easy to forget that the FY 2017 appropriations have yet to be finalized. In September and then again in December, Congress went down to the wire in passing short-term continuing resolutions (CR), the latter of which funds the government through April 28 (PL 114-254). Appropriating committees are picking up where they left off last year, with the House Appropriations Committee last week introducing their newest version of the Department of Defense Appropriators Act, 2017 (H.R. 1301).
The bill, which is consistent with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (S. 2943; PL 114-328), funds critical national security needs and is similar to the version that passed the House last summer. It would provide $577.9 billion for the Department of Defense, an increase of $5.2 billion over FY 2016's enacted level and $1.6 billion more than the Obama administration's request for FY 2017. The bill appropriates $72.7 billion for research, development, testing, and evaluation of new defense technologies, with $72.3 billion for base requirements and the remaining $407 million for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism requirements. While Basic Research would be cut 1.4% below the FY 16 enacted levels, the $2.3 billion represents an 8.3 percent increase from the FY 2017 budget request. Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development would both see increases relative to the FY 2016 enacted numbers, with jumps to $5.3 billion (a 5.8 percent increase) and 6.4 billion (an 8.4 percent increase), respectively. Full details for the bill will be available on our website next week. The bill is slated to be voted on the House floor Wednesday.

July 20-21, 60 people hiked to LeConte Lodge on Mount LeConte, the third-highest peak in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The only way to the lodge is by hiking up one of five strenuous trails to the mountain, which tops out at 6,593 feet.
Katie Bailey/Karen Chavez
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A lodge near the summit of the Smokies' Mount LeConte won't open for the season Monday as planned, officials said this week.
LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has canceled all reservations through March 23 because winter weather is preventing staff and their llamas from ferrying supplies up the mountain, which is situated at 6,593 feet above sea level, according to the lodge's blog, High on LeConte. The crew has spent the past few days trying to clear snow from a helicopter landing pad.
On the ground at the lodge, about 50 miles southeast of Knoxville and 5,700 feet higher, is 7 inches of snow plus drifts from wind gusts. Wednesday's high was 8 degrees with a Wednesday overnight low of zero.
The only way to reach the lodge is to hike. Five trails are available, and the shortest at 5.5 miles is also the steepest, a four-hour trek for a hiker in good condition, the lodge's website says.

De Weever wants community involvement in combating traffickingPOSTED: 01/31/12 12:44 PM
St. Maarten – Minister of Public Health, Social Development and Labor Cornelius de Weever has called for labor inspectors and the community to do more to help the government combat human trafficking. He made the call at Monday's launch of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Foundation's website – www.atipnow.info – in the Dr. A.C Wathey Legislative Hall.
"Labor inspectors must be aware and follow-up on any tips that they receive and report accordingly. They will need the assistance of the public to report these cases to them. We are asking the public to help us as we try to combat this," de Weever said.
The minister called the website launch commendable especially since it will allow the foundation to continue and expand their ongoing education and awareness campaign of the international growth of trafficking, its negative effects on human lives and how it affects persons living in the Windward Islands and abroad.
"This website will make it easier for victims to get a hold of ATIP members and will serve to educate those who do not know about the plight of victims of human trafficking," de Weever said.
The website's launch comes just days after officials in the local judiciary met representatives from the Dominican Republic and the International Police Organization (Interpol) to discuss how the countries can cooperate on immigration matters like trafficking. During the talks both sides expressed particular concern over the number of Haitians who travel to St. Maarten and are then later found on boats heading for the United States via other islands. The minister has also placed the launch in the context of several "close calls."
"St. Maarten has had a few close calls when an Asian man ran away from the restaurant where he was working because of the abuse and the way he was treated. We had another close call when an Asian lady ran from the abuse she suffered in one of the mansions, and the case of the commercial sex worker whose client reported their living and working circumstances to the US embassy. On behalf of the people of St. Maarten I applaud the founding members of this foundation and hope that with this initiative those potential victims have a stronger voice that will help all of us break that chain of slavery and liberate all on St. Maarten from such heinous crimes," de Weever said.

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found, together with neutrons, in the nuclei of atoms; the name comes from the Greek protos meaning "first" and was coined by Ernest Rutherford in 1920. The mass of the proton is 1836.12 times that of the electron. The number of protons determines the chemical element; for example, all atoms with one proton are hydrogen, all atoms with two protons are helium, and so on.
The proton belongs to the hadron family and consists of three quarks (two up-quarks and one down-quark). It is the least-massive baryon and, as a result, is the particle into which all other baryons will eventually decay. Until recently the proton was believed to be absolutely stable; however, most modern theories predict that it will decay with an extremely long half-life (much longer than the present age of the universe).

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers seem to be getting solid contributions from a lot of players not named Damian Lillard or CJ McCollum as they get serious about a run at a playoff berth.
Newly acquired center Jusuf Nurkic has scored at least 15 points in four consecutive games for the first time in his career and is averaging 14.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in his six games as a Trail Blazer.
Nurkic's passing ability has been a surprise. Since coming to Portland, his assist rate has improved from 12.2 percent to 20.4 percent, which during that seven-game stretch ranks fifth in the NBA among centers playing more than 20 minutes per game.
One potential reason for the increase is where Blazers coach Terry Stotts positions Nurkic in the team's offensive sets.
Nurkic is setting up at the elbow more than he was when he was in Denver, where he averaged 9.1 post touches per 36 minutes. As a Blazers, Nurkic is averaging more elbow touches (4.6) per 36 minutes than post touches (4.5).

WinnersView.com brings stories and statistics together to make you smarter about the sports and games you love.
Reserve power forward Al-Farouq Aminu has averaged 13.7 points and 7.9 rebounds and shot .478 from 3-point range over the last 10 games.
RELATED: Aminu should be starting for the Blazers
In his last four games, reserve center Meyers Leonard has shot .667 from the field and .500 from the 3-point line and averaged 8.5 points in only 16 minutes a game.
Then there is reserve guard Allen Crabbe, who could be an important weapon as Portland (27-35) tries to up its win streak to four games Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers at Moda Center.
76ers (23-40) at Trail Blazers (27-35)
At Moda Center
Time: 7 p.m.
Radio: 620 AM
Crabbe scored 23 points, sinking 7 of 10 from the field and 5 of 7 from 3-point range, in the Blazers' 126-121 win at Oklahoma City Tuesday night.
A year ago, Crabbe averaged a career-high 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting .459 from the field and .394 from 3 and .867 from the free-throw line. That landed him a four-year, $75-million free-agent contract.
We need him to be super aggressive. I've been telling him since last year: 'Shoot the ball.' -- Damian Lillard on teammate Allen Crabbe
After a slow start this season, Crabbe has compiled similar numbers, averaging 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting .469 from the field and .866 from the line. The biggest different is from beyond the arc, where he is shooting a much-improved .444.
The Blazers need Crabbe's offense when their top two scorers, Lillard and McCollum, are out of the game.
"We need him to be super aggressive,' Lillard told the media. "I've been telling him since last year: 'Shoot the ball.' "
Against OKC, "He was hitting a bunch of 3's and then he missed one," Lillard said. "The next possession, the ball came back to him and he didn't shoot it. At a timeout, I was like, 'Man, I don't care if you missed the last three. You gotta take that shot.' Because that's a good shot for the team."
Added McCollum: "I always tell him, 'Whenever you want the pill, let me know.' We need him to be aggressive, miss or make."
76ers center Jahlil Okafor is questionable for Thursday's game with right knee soreness. The 76ers are down to Richaun Holmes, a 6-10 second-year pro who was drafted out of Bowling Green in the second round as a power forward, and Shawn Long, who signed a 10-day contract out of the D-League, at the post.
"The realities of our roster are very clear to everyone," 76ers coach Brett Brown told reporters. "There's no mystery to what our roster is right now. ... It's going to take some extra effort and extra luck in finding ways to compete."
The 76ers (23-40) have lost five of six and are lottery-bound, but they beat Portland 93-92 at Wells Fargo Center on Jan. 20, Robert Covington sinking a game-winning 3 with 4.5 seconds remaining. A win at Moda Center would give them their first series sweep of the Blazers since 2008-09.

Blazers, Timberwolves game rescheduled for April 3
The game between the Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves that was postponed because of a wet court has been rescheduled for April 3.
It's the same night as the NCAA men's national championship game, a night the NBA typically avoids scheduling games. The Blazers will play in Utah the next night, while the Wolves have to fly to the Bay Area to play the Golden State Warriors.
The two teams were supposed to play in Minnesota on Monday. But unseasonably warm temperatures caused the ice rink that had been placed under the court to melt, making the playing surface too slippery for a game. The ice is under the Target Center court so the arena could host a college hockey tournament when the Wolves are away.
News & notes
- The 76ers and Trail Blazers have split the last eight games the teams have played, with Philadelphia winning earlier this season, 93-92, when the teams played on January 20. Portland has won five of the last six at home against Philadelphia.
- The 76ers have allowed at least 100 points in each of their last eight games, currently the fourth-longest active streak in the league of allowing 100-plus points. Over these last eight games, Philadelphia's opponents are averaging 116.5 points.
- Lillard (22), McCollum (21), and Crabbe (23) all scored at least 20 points in Portland's win over the Thunder on Tuesday. It was the sixth time this season Portland had three players with at least 20 points.
- Since February 1, rookie Dario Saric is averaging 16.8 points and 7.8 rebounds. Saric's 16.8 scoring average since February 1 is the highest amongst rookies and his 7.8 rebounding average is second highest during this time, behind the Knicks' Willy Hernangomez, who is averaging 9.2 rebounds.
- Since missing two games, Aminu has scored at least 10 points off the bench in four of his last five games. Over these last five games, Aminu is averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and is shooting 59.0 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from three-point range.
- Covington has scored at least 15 points in 10 of his last 12 games and is averaging 16.5 points and 6.8 rebounds over these last 12 games. Over his last four road games, Covington is averaging 18.5 points and 7.3 rebounds.

Birthdays are a fantastic excuse to play with cake and for us, that means chocolate cake. For my husband's recent birthday, I put together these chocolate cupcakes and filled them with an easy mint buttercream frosting using a couple of my favorite King Arthur Flour recipes. For an extra-special birthday touch, I dipped the tops in dark chocolate ganache and topped them with a little frosting flourish and a Junior Mint garnish. The results were so good that I'm trying to think of another excuse to make them before the next birthday!
Cool Mint Birthday Cupcakes
24 freshly baked Chocolate Cupcakes
1 recipe Quick Buttercream Frosting, flavored with 1/4 tsp peppermint oil (or 1/2 tsp extract) and tinted green with 4-6 drops of food coloring
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
8 oz good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
24 Junior Mints (plus extra for "testing")
Bake and cool the chocolate cupcakes to room temperature.
Mix up the buttercream frosting and fill a pastry bag with a large star tip. Poke the star tip into the cupcake and gently squeeze the frosting into the cupcake just until it feels firm but doesn't burst. It won't take very much and after a couple of tries you'll know how much to put in without exploding the cupcake. Remove the pastry tip and smooth any icing that emerges smoothly down on the top of the cupcake. Fill all 24 cupcakes.
Let the cupcakes sit for 1/2 hour or so while you make the ganache. The little bit of icing on the cupcake where it was filled should harden up enough that it won't smear.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream just barely to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the finely chopped chocolate. Stir it to completely cover the chocolate with the cream and then let it sit for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate. Stir gently to completely combine the chocolate and cream. The mixture should be completely smooth. Stir in the butter and the vanilla extract. Let the ganache cool until it is just slightly warm to the touch and is still fairly liquid.
Gently dip the tops of each cupcake in the chocolate ganache. Smooth over any missed spots with a knife or small spatula. Let the cupcakes sit for an hour until the tops have set. Use the remaining icing to pipe a small flourish in the middle of each cupcake top. Immediately press one Junior Mint into the frosting.

There is breakfast, and of course; breakfast for dinner. But on Sunday's, there is breakfast for lunch, or what the 'cool kids' call "brunch".
Wikipedia: A meal is not usually considered brunch if it is started before 10:30 am; such meals would still be considered breakfast. Typically brunch is had between 10:30 am and 2 pm, close to lunch time but still before. Brunch is usually eaten in the late morning.
Oh, and enjoy!
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
- 6 tablespoons melted butter, divided
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine sweet potato and 4 tablespoons melted butter in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Pour dry ingredients over sweet potatoes and mix with a spoon until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Pour milk over sweet potato mixture and mix until a dough forms. Roll dough out into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle and using a 2 1/2 inch round cutter cut our biscuits. Brush each biscuit with remaining butter and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until biscuits are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with soft butter.

A homeless man raped and sodomized a 4-year-old girl last week while he visited the child's great-aunt's Westside apartment, Athens-Clarke police said.
Tony Leon Bentley, 37, was booked into the Clarke County Jail Tuesday night on charges of rape, aggravated sodomy with force, aggravated child molestation of a victim under 13, child molestation and aggravated sexual battery, police said.
Bentley, who lived at a Salvation Army shelter on Hawthorne Avenue, was a cook at a fast-food restaurant at the time of the assault, police said.
He was visiting a woman in the 200 block of Sycamore Drive on Sept. 1 when the woman's niece dropped off her child so the great-aunt could baby-sit, according to police.
The girl told about the assault after her mother picked her up and was driving home, police said.
The mother took her daughter to Athens Regional Medical Center, where a staffer notified police. The girl then was taken to the Family Protection Center where she was checked out by a sexual assault nurse examiner and underwent a forensic interview, police said.
The girl said in the interview that Bentley raped and sodomized her, according to the arrest warrant.
Among evidence investigators took from the victim was a pair of Little Mermaid panties, according to the arrest report.
At the time of the assault, Bentley was on probation for a December assault in which he threatened two men with a knife at the same apartment complex where police say he raped the child, according to court records.
An Athens-Clarke Magistrate Court denied bail to Bentley during a bond hearing Wednesday morning.

Hiking Bull Run Lake, Stanislaus National Forest Amid Hunting Season
It was one of those weekends where the mountains are plastered in clouds, rain, fog, and at certain elevations snow – while it was a warm perfect autumn day down in the foothills by Groveland and Murphys. Despite the better weather at lower elevations I was determined to head up into the Sierra Nevada Forest. I had failed to wash the tent with waterproofing, so backpacking was out of the running, but it could survive some rainy wet car camping. Better yet, in this weather I thought Curtis and I would have the place to ourselves.
That is until I spotted a caravan of 5 open top jeeps heading towards a dispersed site along the highway – a pack of deer hunters. Categorically hunters, along with the mailmen and maybe yoopers, are one of the few groups of people I can think of who do not let weather in any way alter their plans. Given only a short period of time for their sport they are out in full force opening weekend rain or shine, determined. Of course we were there too, just a couple of hikers trying not to get in anyone's way!
I was really uneducated in California deer hunting regulations up until that weekend. To be fair, it isn't a simple – California Department of Fish and Game divides the state into many different zones which have varying tag quotas and opening dates for archery and the general season, although you are only allowed to shoot a buck as far as I can tell. For example where we were hiking near Bull Run Lake is zone D5, and the season opened that that Friday Sept 26th, but back near Groveland (Zone D6) the season started a week earlier. In general the best way to find out if you are going to be hiking during hunting season is to either ask at a local shop/visitor's center, or determine the zone your hike takes place in and then look up the Season Dates on the California Department of Fish and Game Website.
Hiking Bull Run Lake, Carson-Iceberg Wilderness, Stanislaus National Forest
Distance: ~7+ miles round trip. The final destination is only ~325 ft higher than the trailhead but this hike has a few rolling hills that will ensure you get your exercise.
Trailhead: Heiser Lake Trail, parking lot of the west side of the Mosquito Lakes Near Pacific Grade summit on Highway 4. The campground across the street has a latrine, but be prepared for a lack of toilet paper at this time of year. Map
Curtis and I decided to take our chances in the woods late Sunday afternoon, wearing all the brightly colored rain coats/pack covers we could muster up. We ran across a couple hunters at the wilderness boundary and a few closer to Bull Run Lake – but we did not hear any shots, which was a relief for us.
The trail might have offered a few nice views into the Carson-Iceberg, but with the rainy fog we were pretty well socked in. Despite that I enjoyed hiking the in rain for the first time in a long while. It has been a long dry summer here, and though it was only a brief storm the forest seemed to come alive while soaking it all in.
Bull Run lake is a beautiful spot, and would make for a nice summer day hike or short backpacking trip for swimming and island sunbathing. Maybe if it is warmer next time.

We only offered 1 code for 1 signing session last year, so we doubled it for 2017.

Unfortunately, we can't say how long they will be available. Last year, VIP tickets sold out in under 2 minutes.

Tip From the Archives
Happy Holidays Golf Tip
You want to enjoy the holidays and keep your game fresh at the same time.
Have a putting accuracy competition with your friends and family. Try putting golf balls, round candy or plastic ornaments to a target. It is a great mental break from the seriousness of the game yet very challenging.
You can work on your putting skills or try to cure your yips by putting on different surfaces in your home. By changing how you perceive impact can interfere with the cause of your putting yips so you can get over it. Go ahead and putt on hard wood flooring, bumpy tiles, thick and thin carpeting. It is a great way to improve your accuracy. It will also help improve your ability to adjust to different grass types when you return to the course.

I went to the Hy-Vee today to get some groceries before SnowIcepocalypse 2013 hits, and one of the items on my list was pasta. As I stood in the aisle, contemplatin the many kinds of pastas displayed before me, I happened to notice that my neighborhood Hy-Vee carries about 30 different kinds of macaroni, despite often lackin the specific type of pasta called for in a recipe that I'm makin. I thought for awhile about why this might be, and then it dawned on me: macaroni is a staple of Midwest Cookin!
What would Hamburger Helper be without macaroni? Or goulash? Or (duh) macaroni n' cheese? I didn't know pasta salads could be made with any variety besides macaroni until I went to college.
And now, with that in mind, and in honor of what, last week, would have been the 60th birthday of my Dad (who would only eat two kinds of pasta: macaroni and spaghetti), I present to you what can surely be called the quintessential Midwest pehstuh sayahled (say that out loud, won't you?): Super Macaroni Salad!
1 lb. uncooked macaroni (elbow style, cooked, drained, & cooled) (I dare you to use another pasta variety!)
1 large onion (diced) (woah - a whole raw LARGE diced onion? ugh, blecch, I can feel my breath gettin bad already)
1 large green pepper (diced) (the amount of raw vegetables in this is surprisin for a Midwest pasta salad - check it out:)
1 c. celery (diced)
5-6 carrots (grated)
1 c. vinegar (but what kind, Gladys?!?)
1/3 c. sugar
2 c. Miracle Whip (yay! it's been so long since I've posted a Miracle Whip recipe!)
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (very specific on the brand there - use Borden at your own peril)
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
How to:
Mix well together (in a big-ass bowl, I'm guessin) addin macaroni last. Makes A hugh salad (uh...not sure what a hugh salad is there...sounds dirty and/or sadly reclusive; if the word HUGE was intended, then I'm callin this a straight-up Lutheran Potluck classic). It will keep for at least 10 days in the refrigerator. (mmm...week-and-a-half old pasta salad...)

The basis of this article is from "Mike's Fitness site"
Please consult your healthcare practitioner before starting a diet or weight loss program.
Nutrition plays at least as much of a role in muscle gain and fat loss as does weight training.
The basic principles of nutrition stay the same regardless of your goals, age, sex, or physical condition. The main differences will lie in meal sizes and proportions of different macronutrients in meals. You should always:
- If possible, eat smaller meals throughout the day.
- Drink lots of plain water throughout the day. 8 cups of water is the minimum. The body does not see water as food and processes it differently than say juice or tea — so drink plenty of quality water.
- Get at least 25% of your daily calories from protein, with some in every meal. Eat your protein and fats first. They take about an hour longer to digest than carbohydrates.
- Get 20-40% of your daily calories from carbohydrates — not processed carbs — whole foods carbs, like veges and fruits. Even whole grain pastas are high on the hypoglycemic index. For breakfast try steel cuts oats — these are fairly low on the HG index.
- Get 20-40% of your daily calories from fats. Quality fats like expeller pressed oils. Avoid pig meat. The fat in a pig absorbs large amounts of human karma, so does cow fat. Eat chicken and lamb. The feathers and wool insulate these animals from human karma. Also fish is good, the water insulates the fish from absorbing human karma as well.
- Eat minimally processed and cooked foods whenever appropriate. Raw veges are very hard for the body to digest.
- Avoid meals heavy in carbohydrates and/or fats.
- Avoid sweets and sugary foods, processed foods, fried foods, junk foods, and alcohol. Sugar acts in the body like a drug. Sugar also breaks down the tissues of the body — very bad. Check out this book, Sugar Blues, for the truth about sugar. It may be in your local library or you can get it on Amazon.
Best protein sources are lean meats, poultry, fish, cottage cheese, and eggs. Beans, lentils, other legumes, and nuts contain fair amount of protein and should become especially significant sources of protein for vegans and vegetarians. One of the very few worthwhile supplements is whey protein powder which can help if you are having difficulty getting enough protein from "normal" foods.
Most of your carbohydrate intake should come from fiberous vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Green veggies such as green beans, broccoli, and spinach are nearly perfect carb sources. Plain oats, brown rice, and other whole grains and legumes are also terrific complex carb sources. Moderate amount of fruits or berries are also great for you.
For people with metabolic syndrome, grains should be avoided, rather using cooked veges for your carb sources. Steel cut oats are ok. Fruits usually have too much sugar. My healthcare practitioner has recommended Metagenics Ultra Meal 360 Plus Rice to help with metabolic syndrome. I take this product frequently. It is available on Amazon too at the best price I have found.
Avoid processed sources of carbohydrates such as sweets, sugars, breakfast cereals (substitute oats or other plain whole grain in their stead), white breads and pastas, potatoes, and corn (sweet potatoes or yams are an excellent substitute for regular potatoes).
Even whole wheat breads should be passed over in favor of plain whole grains like oats or brown rice as much as possible. As stated above, fruits should be somewhat limited due to their high sugar content. But if you are not hindered by fructose in fruits, have at them.
Healthy fat sources include nuts, egg yolks, flax seed, chia seeds, fatty fish such as salmon, krill oil, olive and other plant-based oils (but only if not used in cooking). Animal and poultry fats are also OK in moderation with the caveats mentioned above about pig and cow fat.
Avoid processed fats such as found in most salad dressings and sweets. Also avoid cooking methods that use significant amounts of oils at high temperatures. The healthiest ways of cooking vegetables, meats and fish are grilling, broiling, steaming, and others that do not require heating of oils.
How Much To Eat?
Eat when you are hungry…this is what I have found keeps my weight down.
There are two main directions in which you can go: losing fat and building muscle. While it is not impossible to achieve both, especially for beginners, you would do well to pick one or the other for a given period of time and structure your nutrition program accordingly. Toning, another popular goal, is really just a combination of losing fat and building muscle. For most people, "toning" nutrition would amount to conservative fat loss nutrition.
If you diet without exercise you run the risk of losing lean muscle mass, so be cautious about this.
Nutrition for losing fat requires slight undereating, or proper portion control, to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Faster weight loss is unhealthy, causing significant muscle loss (as opposed to fat loss), and shutting down your body's metabolism thus sabotaging your fat loss. Nutrition for muscle gain requires slight overeating to add about 1 pound every 2 or more weeks. Faster weight gain will result only in unwanted fat gain (as opposed to muscle gain).
It is therefore very important to continuously monitor your weight and adjust your caloric intake to stay on course, whether it be towards fat loss or muscle gain. I find monitoring calories is a hassle. Eat when you are hungry and don't stuff yourself. Your body knows what it needs to get to a healthy weight, so listen to it.
It is important that you and your trainer or healthcare practitioner custom-design a diet suited specifically to your needs and goals and continuously monitor and adjust it according to your progress.
It's usually a good idea to gradually shift to a new diet plan over a couple of weeks.
In general, for fat loss diets, get 40% of your calories from proteins, 30% from carbs (mostly in the first half of the day), and 30% from fats. For muscle gain diets, get 30% of your calories from proteins, 40% from carbs, and 30% from fats. As with the total caloric intake, it is important that you and your trainer or healthcare practitioner monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments.
Most Important Points
With all this advice about what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it may seem overwhelming to get one's diet exactly right. Don't stress over it too much and above all focus on what's most important: the kinds of foods you eat. Regardless of your physical condition or goals, make it your priority to eat a balanced diet composed of lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains (if appropriate), fresh fruits (if appropriate), lean sources of animal protein, and healthy fats. That is by far the most important thing.
Secondary in importance is how much to eat. While it is possible to gain fat even while eating a healthy diet composed of the foods described above it's not easy. A thousand calories of, say, oatmeal will have a very different (and healthier) effect on your body than a thousand calories of ice cream. By simply eating the right foods you won't have to worry nearly as much about how much you eat. Once you are comfortable with your new diet and meals you can start tweaking it to pinpoint exactly the right portion sizes to achieve your fat loss (fewer calories so you lose 1-2 pounds of weight per week) or muscle gain (more calories so you gain about 1 pound every 2 weeks) goals.
Still less important is the exact proportions of protein to carbs to fats. Very few people will be able to manage to consistently come close to the 40%/30%/30% or 30%/40%/30% guidelines above. That doesn't mean you can't make good progress with, say, 20%/60%/20% or something similar. Make your diet as balanced as you can but don't stress over it.
Finally, the last optimization you can do is split your daily calories over as many meals as possible. But you can still make great progress with just 4 or even just 3 meals a day total. If you have time for more, smaller meals — great! If not, don't worry about it.

I found the haterate , animosity, anger and sex are very strong emotions in our mind. Love may keep them in control for some time but difficult to make these emotions sober forever with love if the love is not a reciprocal. You play a game of keeping your temper in control inspite of repeated provocation from other side. But there is limit of strength in your holding these emotions. It so happens, once the limit is over one burst into reaction. Many a times its effect is accumulated reaction. Therefore, one has to understand and also should have the ability to naturalize the mind everyday on a regular basis if no reaction state has to be achieved. I was looking for such a process, but could not find one until I tested Vipassana. Oh, friends don't think that I could achieve what I wanted. I have only got the path. Journey is long since I have gone to other side of my destination, so I have double task in hand. I have to travel extra millage which I have gone in other side of my destination plus the distance I am supposed to walk to reach the destination after my birth. How far I shall go nearer to the destination will depend on my pace of travelling in the path.
Neither any guru or God shall carry me nor have I to blame at the end of journey to some one for my not achieving the goal. Vipassana talks about mind purification on day to day basis in addition to concentration of mind which is normally called as meditation. All enlightened person has advised us to be in moment with full awareness. But most of the technique of meditation took us to illusion and dream far away from the reality. It gives peace for the time being but it doest not give the understanding when strong emotions overpower our mind. Vipassana shows the path how to shed these strong emotions. Dear friends, on the eve of the new year, I wish you a right understanding of "DHARMA" and also invite you in walking in the path of "DHARMA" by understanding Vipassana.
